University of Vermont-based Peace Corps recruiter Kelly Dolan helps send people to the farthest reaches of the globe, where they'll spend two years working on development projects as varied as community gardens in Central America or health education in Africa.
It's not a hard sell at UVM.
Statistics released last week showed that Vermont is the top state in the country for the per capita production of Peace Corps volunteers. New Hampshire ranks fourth and Maine eighth.
The Peace Corps' Brian Melman, who oversees recruiting in nine northeastern states, says the culture of the communities of the three states is interwoven and people do things together.
Currently there are 8,000 Peace Corps volunteers serving in 76 countries.

4x4 RALLYDAY CASTLE COMBE RACE CIRCUIT SATURDAY 17TH SEPTEMBER 2011 This was a real petrol-head event, with hundreds of car club vehicles on display including the Sierra Cosworth 25th Anniversay display. There were Wildcat white-knuckle rides, rallyraid demo with Dakar and off-road vehicles, challenge truck display and winching demos, 4x4 club displays, rally car rides around the circuit and off-road. The 2 top current WRC drivers were there, Kris Meeke and Matthew Wilson, plus ex-Stig Ben Collins who interviewed some of the injured servicemen regarding Race2Recovery. The aim is to race in the 2013 Dakar Rally to raise funds for wounded British servicemen and their families.
NoLimit had an area between the car parking and entrance, so there was a continuous audience for most of the day. The circuit provided us with 2 wrecker cars to damage. Unfortunately, after a warm and sunny day on Friday when NoLimit was organising their arena, the weather changed to be cold and windy with monsoon-like squalls which made it difficult to do the usual NoLimit display as there was not a lot of grip on the grass or jumps. NoLimit just used their HPI Baja 5Bs and managed to keep the crowd entertained with some good jumps and aerobatics. Uber RC and MMR Largescale also came along with their RC cars to join in. It was a really exciting day, despite the weather. A father with his young son was watching NoLimit at the end of the afternoon. He said (about his son) "he didn't want to come here this morning, now I can't get him to go home!" I think that sums up the event. Thanks Brian and Darin for letting us be part of your rallyday. It was excellent! For more pictures and information about No Limit RC UK, check out their Facebook page! For more info about the Rally Day events, check out www.rallyday.com .

They were unable to find it for me. Not only did Robin find the shoes--but the price was much better. I am "soled" on her customer service! I have already worn the loafers and they are perfect and cute."

Gears of War has become one of the signature games on the Xbox 360, and with good reason: the title is a high-quality shooter with some of the best online play seen on consoles. Now that the title is finally coming to PCs, with new content no less, gamers are grumbling. Why can't Xbox 360 owners fight the Brumack? C'mon, we've paid for content before! JoeGraf, a moderator on the Epic Games boards, shed some light on the issue. Porting the content may not be as simple as it was first assumed:
I know it's not obvious as to how this happens, but as the engine changes we include new data formats, objects have functions removed and added, and network compatability is no longer possible. This is just like the amount of changes that happened between UT99 and UT2003 prevented them from being network/content compatible. When we ship a game, we take a snapshot of the engine at that point in time. The engine continues the development path we have planned out, but the game doesn't. So the two entities diverge enough that they are no longer compatible. For instance, you can't even load one of the art packages from the original Gears in our current engine's editor. The same holds true going in the other direction: current content can't be loaded in the version of the editor that we used to ship Gears.
If this information is correct, then the new content for the PC version of Gears of War will likely remain on the PC for quite some time. The good news is that every time we've been able to play the PC port of Gears of War it looks and plays amazingly well; no one skimped on making sure the game runs smoothly or looks even better than the 360 original. So PC gamers have a lot to look forward to, and Xbox 360 fans can continue to grumble.

Dem divide looms for Obama
As President Barack Obama approaches his second inaugural on Monday, he presides over a party that has largely papered over its divisions for the past four years thanks to the president's commanding popularity.
But almost as soon as the echo of Obama's inaugural address fades and he instantly becomes a lame duck, Democrats are going to have to face a central and unresolved question about their political identity: Will they become a center-left, DLC-by-a-different-name party or return to a populist, left-leaning approach that mirrors their electoral coalition?
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Dems' hard road to House majority)
An immediate answer may come in the entitlement debate and whether Obama and congressional Democrats will agree to any Social Security or Medicare benefit cuts to achieve deficit reduction, said a wide-ranging group of Democratic elected officials and strategists.
"In the short term that's the flash point," said longtime Democratic consultant Paul Begala.
But as moderate Republicans become an ever rarer breed and more centrists find a home in the Democratic coalition, the party also must reconcile exactly who they are on a broader panoply of economic issues including Wall Street regulation and public employees. As 2016 grows nearer, and their presidential hopefuls begin openly maneuvering, Democrats must decide whether they want to be principally known as the party of Rahm Emanuel or the party of Elizabeth Warren.
"One of the challenges is how we continue to do the right thing while working with a wide coalition of people, both workers and business," said Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
( PHOTOS: Potential 2016 contenders)
For decades, it was culture that divided Democrats internally as they scrambled to fend off GOP charges of extremism on issues ranging from race to gender to gay rights. But thanks to Bill Clinton nudging the party on matters like welfare reform and to broader cultural shifts in the country, there's now a consensus on social issues: Democrats overwhelmingly are in agreement on abortion rights, same-sex marriage and immigration reform. And while there may be tensions within the party's ranks on Capitol Hill on gun control, there's wide and deep consensus on the issue in statehouses and among the grass roots.
It's not so much Obama's policy choices that have reshaped the party as much as it is the rise of the Obama coalition — a largely tolerant amalgam of youth, minorities and women. It's unthinkable, for example, that any serious Democratic White House contender in 2016 would not toe the party line on such issues. The Republicans are now the ones confronting internal divisions on such cultural matters as they contend with how to appeal to a rapidly changing country.
( Also on POLITICO: Democratic hopefuls see political gain in gun fight)
"The center has moved," said veteran Democratic strategist Mandy Grunwald.
For Democrats, the gulf is over fiscal and class issues, between their populists and their elites on how to appeal to a broad group of voters while retaining their traditional commitment to those in need. In other words, finding a way forward that represents the interest of their supporters making six (or seven) figures in places like McLean, Va., and Bryn Mawr, Pa., while staying true to middle-class backers in La Crosse, Wis., and doing right by the poor of Albuquerque and Philadelphia.
"The real struggle within the Democratic Party is where you stand on income inequality and whether the government needs to be a part of fixing that problem," said Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. "The demographics that the Democratic Party must attract are the people who need responsive government."

About Borla Exhaust
Borla Exhaust Systems are the pacesetter in the manufacture and design of high performance Borla exhaust systems, header and induction systems and as a consequence are sui generis in three ways: 1) manufactured from exotic materials, such as state- of- the art 304 stainless steel, titanium and carbon fiber; 2) the warranty outlasts the vehicle's life; and 3) the muffler design allows for a bolt-on and uncomplicated fit.
Every Borla Cat-Back System, Borla Header and Rear Section Exhaust is constructed of aircraft-quality authenticate stainless steel and is stainless inside and out and utilizes T-304 stainless steel because it is the most resistant to corrosion culminating in a long-lasting and resilient exhaust system. Bigger is not always better because big pipes can divest the exhaust of energy and additionally big pipes aggrandize the low frequencies culminating in uncomfortable roaring or droning sound. The Borla exhaust system & Borla Muffler are less restrictive and preserves the velocity and high frequency so the dominant sound is behind the tailpipe where it belongs and in addition to that Borla's sui generis Intercooled Tips have an idiosyncratic look and are seen ubiquitously on show and street cars providing your vehicle with the same idiosyncratic look as these winners.
If the above acclaimed reasons for buying a Borla Muffler or Borla Exhaust system are not sufficient then consider that the installation for the do-it-yourselfer should conceivably take about two hours for a system install and about six hours for header installation and this is just another accolade for these parts and a reason for you to purchase them.
Borla Exhaust Systems have a compilation of emission legal exhausts that are the largest in the industry and Borla's Million Mile warranty is the most compendious of any exhaust supplier. Borla exhaust mufflers will stand behind your performance exhaust product longer than you will be driving your car and that is a commitment you can depend on.
Longevity is not the only thing that recommends Borla exhaust mufflers as your choice when it comes to a performance exhaust system even though you cannot forget about the fact that they have been manufacturing premium exhaust systems for three decades and they have their roots in the manufacturing of parts for the iconic Rolls-Royce and Ferrari, names that speak for themselves. Their solid reputation in the aftermarket performance parts industry is second to none when it comes to exhaust products and they have achieved this reputation by providing only exemplary products for street, off-road and racing applications and their diligence of quality production is the same for all three. Borla mufflers and Borla exhaust systems are able to do this because they have invested in a facility that is outstanding in every way and includes an avant-garde test and development center focused on improvement in all areas and have been instrumental in improving the design of aftermarket performance exhausts. All of this effort is not without its rewards and they have been awarded "BEST NEW PRODUCT" in the industry on more than one occasion, something to be extremely proud of. The top engine builders in racing can't all be wrong when they choose BORLA exhaust systems & Borla Mufflers and neither will you be when you choose BORLA. We also offer other great parts with these Corsa Performance Exhaust Systems.

These are some of the items you can find at LMPerformance for your Jeep
Free some of the power in your Jeep engine. by allowing for a quicker, more efficient path for exhaust gases to escape and you can accomplish with the type of bend used to make an exhaust with "crush-bend" being more restrictive and mandrel bending being a freer agent. Don't neglect considering what material is employed in the design avoiding mild steel which has deteriorates eventually. The better aftermarket systems are made using aluminized steel or stainless steel a much more longer lasting product that is worth the investment. Most aftermarket systems add to your car or truck's pizzazz since they come with larger tips and highly polished mufflers. The CORSA exhausts have an all of the above and a spectacular sound sound that was acoustically designed to match the make, model, and harmonics specific to your Jeep vehicle and the use of RSC™ technology means there is no drone in the system. Straight-through design reduces back pressure for increased horsepower and torque and Premium 304L stainless steel construction, and 3 levels of sound make it a system worth having.
Stainless Works is another industry-leader in stainless steel performance headers and exhaust systems and in addition to designing their wide range of after-market headers and exhausts, they manufacture them on-site, right here in the United States by skilled American craftsmen. Stainless Works product line of exhaust systems, headers, off road pipes and more are made from only the finest EVERLAST 304 stainless steel, which is a premium mil spec grade of stainless steel that is slightly more expensive than standard stainless steel materials and the Stainless Works products will never red-rust like the cheaper 400 series stainless steel used by others.
American Racing Headers, another eminent manufacturer of exhausts systems is available for your Jeep and they are engineered and constructed using 304 Stainless Steel, precisely cut, warp-resistant and with leak-free stainless steel flanges. They are manufactured to the perfect size so that they give you the most horsepower gain and are tune for the greatest achievable torque and HP and as the name suggests' their products are made solely in the United States for top quality and a competitive price.
Kooks has been designing custom headers since 1962 and as a result have earned an outstanding reputation for quality and performance in headers and exhaust systems and we are proud to say their systems are handcrafted in the USA. Kooks Headers and Exhaust offers production applications for your Jeep Grand Cherokee in catted X-Pipe Exhaust systems, Long Tube Headers, Off-Road Connection Pipes, Green Catted Connection Pipes and Catted Connection Pipes with their inimitable handmade quality.
Borla is the one of the pacesetters in the manufacture and design of high performance exhaust, header and induction systems and as a consequence their products are sui generis in materials, warranty and design. Every system is austenitic stainless inside and out and resists corrosion and because it is less restrictive it allows the sound to stay behind the tailpipe. The sui generis inter-cooled tips add an aggressive look to your Jeep and installation is doable in two hours for a system install and six hours for a header install...
Flowmaster exhaust system for your Jeep Wrangler in the Force II with its mandrel-bent tubing creates outstanding exhaust gas flow resulting in greater acceleration, passing power and mileage and the sound is not as loud as the Thunder model still has plenty of great sound because it has a three chamber muffler. The American Thunder system for your Grand Cherokee has a two chamber muffler that gives your Jeep an aggressive sound this together with improved performance means you get a superior product with easy installation.
The Volant line of cold air kits can help you free up the power in your Jeep with their larger air filter boxes and intake ports allowing larger amounts of cool air in to increase your power.

Big news in the Internet travel sector...
Priceline's buying Kayak for $40 a share.
Here's the release:
NORWALK, Conn., Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Priceline.com Incorporated ( PCLN) announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement for the Priceline Group to acquire KAYAK in a stock and cash transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, the transaction values KAYAK at $1.8 billion ($1.65 billion net of cash acquired) or $40 per share of KAYAK (subject to the collar described below), with the Group paying approximately $500 million of the consideration in cash and $1.3 billion in equity and assumed stock options.
The Boards of Directors of the Priceline Group and KAYAK have unanimously approved the transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, including a vote of KAYAK's shareholders and regulatory approvals, and is expected to close by late 1 st quarter 2013. KAYAK's current management team will continue to manage KAYAK's operations independently as part of the Priceline Group of companies. The Group expects that the impact of the KAYAK acquisition on Non-GAAP EPS in 2013 will be de minimis.
KAYAK is a leading travel research site that allows people to easily compare hundreds of travel sites at once when searching for flights, hotels, and rental cars, and gives travelers choices on where to book. The company processes over 100 million user queries each month through its global websites and best in class mobile applications. "KAYAK has built a strong brand in online travel research and their track record of profitable growth is demonstrative of their popularity with consumers and value to advertisers," said Priceline Group President and Chief Executive Officer Jeffery H. Boyd. "KAYAK also has world class technology and a tradition of innovation in building great user interfaces across multiple platforms and devices. We believe we can be helpful with KAYAK's plans to build a global online travel brand."
"Paul English and I started KAYAK eight years ago to create the best place to plan and book travel," said Steve Hafner, KAYAK Chief Executive Officer and Cofounder. "We're excited to join the world's premier online travel company. The Priceline Group's global reach and expertise will accelerate our growth and help us further develop as a company."
Transaction Summary KAYAK shareholders will have the right to elect to receive cash or stock with a value of $40 per KAYAK share, (subject to (i) the collar mechanism described below and (ii) pro ration such that the overall consideration in the deal to KAYAK shareholders will consist of one-third cash and two-thirds stock). The stock portion of the consideration will be subject to a 10% collar pursuant to which the value of the Priceline.com stock delivered to those receiving stock will be $40 per KAYAK share so long as the aggregate volume-weighted average Priceline.com trading price for the 30-day period ending 2 days prior to Closing (as set forth more fully in the Merger Agreement) is between $571.31 and $698.27 per Priceline.com share. If such average price is above $698.27 or below $571.31, those receiving Priceline.com stock will receive a fixed exchange ratio as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The final number of Priceline.com shares to be issued on a fully diluted basis will range between approximately 1.9 million and 2.3 million shares and options at closing.

Savita Halappanavar | Denied Abortion Dies from Septicemia/
The 'War on Women" became a seminal issue of the 2012 United States presidential election. Never before had women's issues been at the forefront of a political contest in which many men openly revealed their utter ignorance of how women's bodies functioned, while waging an all-out campaign to eliminate the legal statutes that guaranteed the right for women to seek and secure safe abortions.
While Americans were discussing abortion rights in the abstract, last month an Indian woman living in Ireland, Savita Halappanavar, 31, died because she was not allowed to receive an abortion.
Her tragic story began when she presented to University Hospital Galway because at 17 weeks pregnant she was experiencing unusual back pain.
By all accounts Mr. and Mrs. Halappanavar were happy with the upcoming addition of a child to their family, so this sudden development was worrisome. Savita, a dentist, and her husband, an engineer, waited for the results of her internal examination, but when the doctor returned with the prognosis it was devastating. She was fully dilated, her amniotic fluid was leaking, and the child would not survive.
Doctors told her that she would miscarry in a few hours, but instead according to a report in the Irish Times today, she "died of septicemia a week later because, even after doctors confirmed that her baby would certainly die, they refused to perform a life-saving termination of the pregnancy citing the fact that Ireland is a Catholic country.
This is a clear case of when the religious beliefs of attending physicians outweighed their Hippocratic Oath. Though, the Halappanavar repeatedly begged the doctors to induce labor since it was clear that the fetus would not survive, but each time doctors refused to perform the life-saving measures required to save Savita's life, asserting that as long as there was a fetal heartbeat they would not terminate the pregnancy.
Over the next few days medical personnel seemed to take inordinate care of the fetus, checking every few hours to see determine if its heart was still beating. Meanwhile, Mr. Halapannavar had to watch Savita deteriorate as poisonous blood course through her body. Once it was clear that they could not save her baby, Mrs. Halappanavar once again begged for the doctors to induce labor to end the pregnancy, as before, these requests by all accounts were assiduously ignored.
Mr. and Mrs. Halappanavar are Hindu and thus believed that they were not subject to the prohibition against abortions which governs the religious lives of Irish Catholics. Even when Mr. Halappanavar explained that they were neither Catholic nor Irish and that under the Irish law, a woman has a "legal right to an abortion where there is a 'real and substantial' risk to her life," the doctors still refused to save her life.
Two months prior to Savita's death, on 13 September 2012, more than 140 Irish medical professionals from the fields of obstetrics and gynecology, mental health, and molecular epidemiology attended a symposium to discuss abortion as a tool to save a mother who has a problematic pregnancy that is life-threatening.
At the conclusion of the conference the symposium issued 'the Dublin Declaration.' Drafted by leading medical experts in maternal healthcare the document asserts that "abortions are not medically necessary, and thus abortion has no place in treating women and their unborn children." (Source: Zenit)
Thus, Savita perished after a week of suffering and with the knowledge that she had already lost her child and that she would most certainly die.
Meanwhile, across the pond, America pro-choice supporters mounted a vigorous defense of Roe vs. Wade while combating ignorant beliefs about pregnancy espoused by many far-right conservatives like former Representative Joe Walsh.
The Illinois Rep. proclaimed that because of "advances in medicine and technology, you can't find one instance" in which an abortion would be necessary to save a mother's life. It was also his belief that the health of the mother has become a tool for abortions any time for any reason ... there's no such exception as the 'life of the mother.'
When women's freedom and the right to self-determination is held hostage by religious beliefs, cultural bias, or patriarchal dominance, death is sure to follow. Whether by stoning or honor killings or medical neglect, the net result is women everywhere remain at risk as long as a few people can impose their will and belief system about women's bodies on society at large.

Feb. 27, 2006
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Santa Clara University men's soccer program has qualified for 13 NCAA Tournament appearances in the last 17 seasons. During that span, Bronco teams advanced to five College Cups and won the 1989 NCAA title while 14 different players earned All-America honors.
With such an illustrious history guiding it, along with head coach Cameron Rast and his excellent staff, the Bronco soccer program begins its official preparation for the 2006 season in just over a month with high hopes of winning the school's third overall NCAA soccer title.
The team is scheduled to conduct a total of 23 training sessions, four intra-squad scrimmages and five competitions during the spring season. The Broncos will play in the annual College Classic, hosted by the Southwest Soccer Club at the John Blanche Memorial Soccer Complex in Temecula, Calif. on April 1. SCU will also play single matches at San Jose State and Stanford and at home against Cal Poly and Sacramento State.
"It seems like last season ended a long, long time ago," said Rast, who has won more than 69 percent of his games four seasons as the Broncos' head coach. "Our players are really looking forward to getting back on the field. The younger guys want to prove they deserve a spot on the team or more playing time. While, the older guys are clearly hungry to have another successful season and lead our squad to a national championship.
"The spring season truly is a developmental time for us and we take advantage of every day that we are allowed to train. It is also very important that we are able to play matches against other college teams during this non-traditional season. College soccer would be at such a disadvantage if we could not provide more of a year-round training experience for the players."
For the first time, the Bronco men's and women's teams will be able to play their spring matches in Buck Shaw Stadium. The construction of the beautiful, new $8.9 million Stephen Schott Baseball Stadium provides the soccer programs with a dedicated facility that is available throughout the year. The public is welcome to attend any of SCU's competitions or Intra-squad scrimmages.
"Having Buck Shaw available is really critical to both the men's and women's programs," said Rast. "We have a lot more flexibility on scheduling issues and we have more field space for individual training and other types of drills. Perhaps more importantly, it allows us the opportunity to decrease the amount of wear and tear on our practice field, which will help us immensely when we return for fall preseason training."
The Broncos lost six of their top 10 scorers and 10 overall letterwinners from last year's team that registered a 13-6-3 overall record and ranked as high as fourth in the nation. Santa Clara placed second in the West Coast Conference standings and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, where it played to a scoreless draw at Cal. The Bears advanced in the tournament after earning a 5-4 advantage on penalty kicks.
Junior Mehdi Ballouchy, a first-team All-America selection and the WCC Player of the Year, decided to forgo his senior season and enter the Major League Soccer SuperDraft. The Casablanca, Morocco native was the second selection overall by Real Salt Lake and has been predicted by several experts to make a significant impact in his first season in MLS. In addition, senior Hector Guzman, a native of San Jose, Costa Rica, was selected by Houston (formerly the San Jose Earthquakes) in the MLS Supplemental Draft after a career at SCU in which he twice earned all-league honors.
Headlining the list of players returning for the Broncos in 2006 are second-team all-WCC midfielder Peter Lowry, leading scorer Keith DeVey and freshman all-WCC selection Jide Ogunbiyi. Other returning starters include midfielders Erik Ustruck and Brian Curry as well as defenders Matt Hatzke, Matt Marquess and Jamil Roberts.

AMERICUS, Ga. – The Georgia College men's basketball team (3-2, 1-1 PBC) took on its first nationally-ranked opponent of the young season Saturday, falling at No. 24 Georgia Southwestern State University (9-0, 1-0 PBC), 75-70.
The Bobcats took the second half 48-41, but fell victim to an outstanding shooting effort from the Hurricanes overall. GSW knocked down 53 percent (24-45) of its shots for the game compared to a solid 44 percent (28-63) night from Georgia College.
Guards Aaron Robinson (Lawrenceville, Ga.) and Ryan Blumenthal (Kennesaw, Ga.) shared the team lead at 14 points. Robinson's scoring was his first double-digit game of the year, while Blumenthal went 5-for-9 with a pair of threes on the day.
Senior Royal Thomas (LaGrange, Ga.) had 12 points with seven rebounds, and sophomore Terrell Harris (Indiantown, Fla.) had a 10-point performance, reaching double-digits on a three-pointer with 11 seconds left.
The Hurricanes also put four in double-digit scoring, as Johathan Brooks netted 20 to lead the way. Daryl Davis had a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double, and Darius Redding was perfect from the floor (6-6) en route to 16 points. Kevin Burnell rounded out the double-digit scorers with 10.
The Bobcats got threes from Blumenthal and Harris in the final minute, but couldn't inch any closer than the two-point finish.
The Bobcats are back in action Friday, Dec. 13 at 7:30 p.m., traveling to Clark Atlanta University, in a return to non-conference action.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

The mystery woman at the center of the ever-more-bizarre Petraeus and military scandal, Jill Kelley of Tampa, is an "honorary consul" of Korea.
What's an "honorary consul"?
Here's how an unnamed official explained it to Foreign Policy:
"She is an 'honorary consul' of the Republic of Korea," the official said. "She assumed this position last August thanks to her good connections and network."
The position of honorary consul is symbolic and has no official responsibilities, the official said.
"She does not work as a real consul. They play a role to improve the relationship between the ROK and the U.S.," the official said. "Jill Kelley helped to get support for [the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement] and she arranged meetings between the ROK Ambassador to Washington and local businessmen when the ROK Ambassador visited the Tampa area."
So, what did Jill Kelley do to earn the good graces of Korea?
Add that to the list of many questions that we hope will soon be answered about Ms. Kelley.
"Honorary consuls" apparently get diplomat license plates, which allow them to park in special places.
What they don't get is "diplomatic immunity" of any sort, because they aren't actually consuls.
That didn't stop Ms. Kelley from saying she has diplomatic immunity when she called 911 to ask the emergency operator to send police to get TV crews off her lawn:
"You know, I don't know if by any chance, because I'm an honorary consul general, so I have inviolability, so they should not be able to cross my property. I don't know if you want to get diplomatic protection involved as well," she told the 911 dispatcher, who agreed to pass the information along to police.

OK...if I don't upload this now, I'll probably keep tweaking away at it a piece at a time from now until the end of the universe. These are the seven levels I uploaded onto here about a year ago, plus the "Showdown" boss level I posted last month, plus two more I've made since then. I don't know if I'm done. I set it up for one final level, but who knows if I'll ever get around to making it.
I've gone through a fixed a few things that were bugging me in the original seven level release. Mostly streamlined the terminals, fixed a few untextured sides, balanced out the enemies and weapons a little bit, and so on. I also included a level that I had originally designed last year, but left out of the seven map pack because it's original purpose didn't work correctly. I decided to abandon the genius idea I originally had for the level, and just make it more straightforward. Except the level still kind of sucks.
The second level sucks, too.
But the rest is good stuff, at least I think so. I realized that in working on the later levels, my earlier ones are painfully bland. But I still think the fun factor exists in them.
I'm sure there are still some bugs. In particular, the last couple levels I tried to do a few tricks, such as allies beaming out at a specific time, but I could never get it to work properly. Sometimes monsters half-way disappear between transparent lines. Whatever. I'm tired of tweaking them. Besides, as I said, unless I upload this now, I probably will never stop.
Please play, and provide feedback.
I also wonder, is Simplici7y a better place to upload my work? I can't help but notice only a handful actually download files from here, and those files hosted on Simplici7y seem to get hundreds more downloads.
I hope you all enjoy playing these levels a tenth as much as I enjoyed making them.

Japan keeps title defense alive
Victory over Cuba secures final spot in Classic semifinals in LA

For the second time, the Japanese have knocked the once-irrepressible Cubans out of the World Baseball Classic, this time with a 5-0 victory on Wednesday night at PETCO Park behind the combined five-hit pitching of starter Hisashi Iwakuma and reliever Toshiya Sugiuchi.
In 2006, Japan's victory secured the inaugural Classic title. This year, Japan's win secured its place in the final four this weekend at Dodger Stadium along with Team USA, Venezuela and Korea, a team the Japanese play again on Thursday night to determine seeding for the semifinals.
Venezuela is slated to play Saturday evening against Thursday night's loser. The U.S. is scheduled to play the Pool 1 winner on Sunday evening. The finals are Monday.
"For Team Japan, it was a very special game," Japanese manager Tatsunori Hara said afterward. "The reason for that is we had to win. That was the main purpose for us. All the team members, we were aware of this. As the manager, I was all tensed up. The players all felt great pressure. However, they all played a very good game."
Much like the Yankees missing the playoffs this past season for the first time in 13 years, the Cuban defeat was historic on many different levels.
According to statistics supplied by the World Baseball Classic organizing committee, it's the first time since 1951 that Cuba didn't secure a least a finals berth in one of four major international tournaments: the International Baseball Federation World Cup, the Intercontinental Cup, the Olympics and the Classic.
It broke a streak of 40 consecutive trips to the finals in those four events.
In addition, this is the worst finish for the Cubans, who heretofore had never finished below third place in any of those four tournaments. And that had previously happened only three times, the last in the '51 World Cup. This year, the best they could finish with a 4-2 record would be in a tie for fifth with Puerto Rico.
In their six World Baseball Classic games this year, the Cubans scored 36 runs and hit 10 homers against South Africa, Mexico (twice) and Australia. Against the Japanese, they scored none and had only 13 hits, two for extra bases.
Asked about the historic value of stopping the Cubans, whose last tournament victory of any consequence was defeating Australia for the 2004 Olympic gold medal, Hara said: "On behalf of Team Japan, that means a lot. It was a big deal for us and it will be left to history. I have a great respect for the Cuban team and we were able to beat them. For Team Japan and the baseball world of Japan, it meant a great deal."
On a chilly night in San Diego when fog rolled in and out of PETCO Park, it was a dropped fly ball by center fielder Yoennis Cespedes to deep left-center with two out and runners on second and third in the fourth inning that seemed to seal Cuba's fate. The shot off the bat of Japanese first baseman Michihiro Ogasawara led to a pair of unearned runs.
Cespedes drifted back in the fog to one-hand the ball and watched helplessly as it glanced off his glove.
It was the second time in four games that Japan had vanquished Cuba in this Pool 1 bracket. On Sunday, the Japanese defeated Cuba, 6-0, behind the deft work of right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka, who in his six innings of work allowed five hits -- all singles -- whiffed eight and walked none.
The right-handed Iwakuma, the Sawamura Award winner as the top pitcher last year in the Japan leagues, matched Matsuzaka's performance by allowing only five hits before he was replaced in the seventh by the left-handed Sugiuchi.
"Today, of course, I felt the pressure," Iwakuma said. "If we lost, then that was the end of it. My role was I wanted to do my best and then all of us played a good game. All of us, we played as one and now we are able to advance to Los Angeles."
But Iwakuma labored a little more intensively than Matsuzaka, stranding runners on first and third by whiffing Leslie Anderson to end the fourth. And after Cespedes tripled to right-center with two out in the sixth, Iwakuma induced Alfredo Despaigne to check his swing and bounce back to the box.
It was Cuba's last threat, and perhaps last of a dynasty, as Sugiuchi retired the nine batters he faced, striking out four. The Cuban delegation declined to attend the postgame news conference with manager Higinio Velez issuing a short statement, congratulating the Japanese.
"They were much better than us and that's why they deserved the victory," he said. "They do deserve to go to the finals. So the only thing left for us to do is to continue to fight for our great game, baseball."
In the strange vagaries of that game, Japan has mastered Cuba, going 3-0 against them over the course of the first two World Baseball Classics, but it is 2-4 against rival Korea, including a pair of losses in three meetings this year. Its biggest win against Korea came in the single-elimination semifinals in '06.
"I try not to worry about it. It's difficult to study the other team," Hara said. "I did have some amount of data relating to that. But what it comes down to, Team Japan had to play our game. That was all there was to it. Cuba is a very strong team."

The data center as we know it will undergo massive changes over the next decade, a report recently released by Emerson Network Power says.
The report, "Data Center 2025: Exploring the Possibilities," summarizes four months of global research designed to identify the industry's vision of the data center in the year 2025. More than 800 data-center professionals from around the world responded to a survey, with dozens of others contributing their thoughts via interviews, e-mail, and video. The feedback indicates most in the field remain bullish on the data-center industry and continued innovation in the information-technology (IT) space and beyond. For example, according to the Data Center Users' Group sponsored by Emerson Network Power, average density has remained relatively flat since peaking at around 6 kW nearly a decade ago. Yet, on average, Data Center 2025 participants predicted density of 52 kW per rack in 2025. Such a dramatic upswing in density could radically change the physical environment of the data center.
"We started the Data Center 2025 initiative with a sincere desire to discover what our customers, collaborators, colleagues, and others in the data-center community believe the future holds for this industry," Steve Hassell, president, data-center solutions, Emerson Network Power, said. "We approached the research with an open mind, no expectations, and no preconceived notions of what we would find. The results reflect a level of sophisticated understanding, visionary thinking, and genuine optimism."
According to the report:
- Participants believe a mix of sources will be used to provide electrical power to data centers. Solar will lead, followed by a nearly equal mix of nuclear, natural gas, and wind. Sixty-five percent believe it is likely hyperscale facilities will be powered by private power generation.
- Participants predict two-thirds of data-center computing will be done in the cloud in 2025. According to Cisco's Global Cloud Index, cloud workloads represent around 46 percent of current total data-center workloads and will reach 63 percent by 2017.
- Twenty-nine percent of the participants anticipate comprehensive visibility across all systems and layers, while 43 percent expect data centers to be self-healing and self-optimizing. That means 72 percent of the participants believe some level of data-center-infrastructure management (DCIM) will be deployed in 2025—significantly higher than most current estimates of DCIM adoption.
- Increased visibility is expected to lead to more efficient performance overall, as 72 percent of the participants expect IT-resource-utilization rates to be at least 60 percent in 2025. The average projection is 70 percent. That compares with estimated averages today as low as 6 to 12 percent, with best practices somewhere between 30 and 50 percent.
"The data center of 2025 certainly won't be one data center," Andy Lawrence, vice president of Datacenter Technologies and Eco-efficient IT at 451 Research, said. "The analogy I like to use is to transport. On the road, we see sports cars and family cars, we see buses, and we see trucks. They have different kinds of engines, different types of seating, and different characteristics in terms of energy consumption and reliability. We are going to see something similar to that in the data-center world. In fact, that is already happening, and I expect it to continue."

A new ad campaign for Sugar In The Raw gives new meaning to food porn: A chocolate cake is photographed like a crotch, purposely pixelated and called a "forbidden pleasure," with the words "enter here." Cupcakes with cherry "nipples" are censored, as though they are breasts. Sure, it's a cheeky play on the brand's name — Raw — but can aligning yourself with pornography actually sell sugar?
They say that sex sells, and it seems like there have been a lot of ads pushing the envelope, in the last few years. We've seen half-naked women writing with cheeseburgers, semen-esque liquor ads, and discovered that vodka is code for cock. But unlike ads with a sexy subtext, the Sugar In The Raw concept is pretty overt: You click a pixelated picture, just like you're clicking to see porn. Or uncensored celebrity ladyparts.
There's even an "au natural" app on Facebook that allows you to participate in the depixelization of the treats, with saucy, sexy double entendres like "ready for some afternoon delight?" and "The Hottest Au Natural Amateur Photos On The Web!" GET IT? FOOD=PORN. Foodporn. Which adds fuel to our theory that a cupcake is basically a vagina. Instead of putting a "girl" symbol on the ladies restroom door, restaurants should just put a cupcake. SEXAY.

Fluffy kitties and other pleasant thoughts
And thus: Kitties! Look at how fluffy they are!
And now: The pleasantries.
Adam Dunn: Why Not Us?
Fox's Jean-Paul Morossy (I just Frenchified him! Ah! C'est tellement cute!) makes the case that the Jays might make sense as a landing place for Adam Dunn. In spite of whatever defenses we may have made for J.P. Ricciardi's anti-Dunn screed a few years back, we've loved the giant lug of a slugger ever since the first time we saw him step to the on-deck circle as a Louisville Bat back in the day. (Seriously, we were wondering where the fuck his blue ox was, he was so big.)
We'd love to see Dunn in a Jays uni, so long as he's at least willing to consider some at bats as a DH. (Which is no small caveat, we're led to believe.)
Jesse Crain is the Most Canadian Canadian in All of Canadian History of Canada's Canadians
Actually, he was born here by happenstance, and spent the majority of his life in the U.S.. (He's probably never tasted poutine! Or doesn't own a Tragically Hip CD! He has never seen the Air Farce, and he totally doesn't get any of their jokes!) Still, it's seemingly impossible for folks to talk about him and his potential as a potential acquisition without trotting out the fact that he was born in Toronto. Even the aforementioned Morosi can't help himself.
(To be fair, we could hardly hold ourself back from the "pseudo-Canadian" angle when we mentioned Crain as a potential closer for 2011 back in a mid-September Tweet Bag.)
Beyond any passport implications, Crain would make an intriguing acquisition. He pumped up his strikeout rate last year (to 8.21) and dropped his walks (3.57 per nine.) He might have been a touch lucky (his BABIP dropped 35 points to .270, which might have something to do with the new park...?), and there is a bit of concern that some of the success might be attributed to his fly ball rate increasing in the allegedly cavernous Target Field. One would imagine that a 44% fly ball rate might be a bit more of a problem in the Rogers Centre.
One last thought on Crain: You put his numbers up against Jason Frasor's, and the Sausage King pretty much comes out on top across the board. Which only helps to feed into our notion of a "Return of the Sausage King" campaign. (T-shirts, undoubtedly, to be sold at an online retailer near you soon.)
Get Out the Jumpsuit - It's Fat Elvis Time
So Lance Berkman kinda fell off a cliff last year, and will be 35 this season. (If you'd asked us before we looked it up, we would have sworn he was 31. Time flies.)
And we're certainly not interested in adding a fat man to the roster so that we can admire him for his former glories. Still, his .368 OBP is attractive, and his 2.1 WAR last year was better than all other returning Jays except for Bautista and Wells.
We wouldn't give him anything over $3 million on a one-year contract with options, but we wouldn't mind seeing what a healthy and possibly chastened Berkman could do for a year with his career hanging in the balance.

Dunn or Berkman could be great additions to the club, at the right price. Dunn could be the DH and he can play first if Lind doesn't pan out. That is of course assuming he would be willing to DH if Lind played well in the field. Berkman also has experience as a first baseman and could be used in the same role if the Jays were looking for a cheaper option or they can't get Dunn for any reason. Both have high career OBP. The only downside to Dunn I can see is that he strikes out. A lot. Obviously that's not the end of the world if he gets on base 38% of the time, but it is something to consider.

I like the idea of Dunn in the middle of the lineup, looking at a lot of pitches and letting the guys around him get a good sense of what the pitcher has on any given day.
Wait: Does that actually happen? I think I've heard Pat Tabler talk about that sort of thing, but maybe it's all hokum.

the Hipster Doofus is no longer a Jay. I really hate that Cito made me dislike Tallet so much. I can't think of a pitcher that was more poorly handled by a Jays manager in recent memory.
best wishes as a Cardinal you tall lanky mess.

Hmmm, if we get Berkman, its kinda like we traded Wallace for Berkman and Anthony Gose, isn't it? If we did, I think that's a good trade.

OH God - please let Farrell realize that Frasor shouldn't be the closer next year!

Fall 2011 Givenchy Couture
Givenchy Fall 2011 Couture
>> With all the high profile weddings this year, it's no wonder that the idea of a white, floor-length gown has seeped into Riccardo Tisci's mind. For the Givenchy Fall 2011 couture collection, he produced ten such dresses, shown grouped into three rooms named "tears of angels," the "cloud room," and "bird of paradise" after their respective inspirations.
Explaining his color of choice for the dresses, Tisci said: "I try to find the light in the darkness . . . White has become very strong — when women want to be sexy and romantic at the same time, white is there." His favorite dress of the collection, covered with hand-cut tulle paillettes, was inspired by his graduation project at Central St. Martins.

Extracurricular Activities
We all have opinons about how much our children "need" extracurricular activities. Some people believe in a maximum of one per grade level, others abide by the one-sport/one-art rule, and on and on. The fact is, we all do what is best for our children, and every child is different. If you are looking for some ways to get your kids involved in structured, group activities this Spring, try these sources:
- Community theater. Many local theater groups are always looking for children to fill bit-parts or extras. Even if your child isn't interested in the spotlight, perhaps check out opportunities to help with set design and costuming.
- Check out your Parks and Recreation department. Many areas offer low-cost and non-competitive activities, from sports to sewing, sign language to cooking. Classes are offered at various times, and they are typically short-term opportunities – perfect for trying something new.
- Your local library may offer classes as well, or even evening book clubs for young readers. Check with the Children's librarian; most larger libraries have one on staff. Libraries are also a great resource for community opportunities as well.
- Sign up for a sport, such as baseball, soccer, swimming or tennis. Even if your child isn't the best soccer goalie, he or she will have fun getting to know other kids and learning to play on a team. Or, look into less traditional activities, such as yoga or modern dance!

Post subject: World of Warcraft TCG

Introduction to the game.

Before I dive into my impressions of the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, I thought I would give a brief description of how I got into it. Not counting the Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon ?battles? played with my young son, it has been several years since I?ve picked up any CCG/TCG for a reason other than the art.

When the World of Warcraft TCG was released, the group of people I play games with was heavily into board games. Because of this, it wasn?t until I received the Onyxia Raid deck as a Christmas gift that I really saw and got interested in the game. At the time, the three gamers present were very impressed with the quality and concept of the Onyxia deck, but no one seemed inclined to pick up starter decks to give the game a try.

I later went to the Upper Deck Entertainment web site and read through the online tour in one sitting. It wasn?t too long, made a lot of sense and made me want to try the game even more. There are links to PDF files of demo decks on the same page, but I already knew that I?d want at least a starter deck so I didn?t download them. When I got to the store, I spent a few minutes weighing the choice of two starter decks against one starter and some boosters; I decided that there was a greater chance of getting a variety of rare and uncommon cards with the boosters. So, I bought a starter deck and four boosters, and was pleasantly surprised when there were 2 more boosters in the starter box!

Now that I had a good variety of cards and an actual deck ready to go, it wasn?t long until other people in the gaming group finally picked up starter decks of their own.

Breaking down the game elements

In many ways, this TCG is similar to ones you may have played before, but there are some excellent exceptions to this statement. One basic example is in regard to the idea of resources. Each card has a resource cost to play, but instead of needing to draw a specific resource card, any card can be played as a resource and every turn you can play one so you don?t wind up ?short? like you might in other CCGs.

Taking the resource example further, there are Quest cards that can be played for resources which have a cost to ?complete? and a wide variety of results; from drawing cards to returning cards to play from the graveyard. What this mechanic does in many games is create yet another level of decision making every turn. If you don?t have a quest to play, what card do you choose to play as a resource?

One of the most obvious refined TCG features is the Hero that each deck is built around. The heroes reflect some of the race and class options from the video game, and each has a unique ability which can be used once per game. More importantly, each one has a set of abilities that can only be used by that class. This is where another layer of strategic decision making gets made before you?ve ever played a card. What class specific abilities are you going to want? How many turns before you?ll have enough resources to use them?

The other important element for your Hero is the equipment they have; many Heroes don?t have any attack value until you give them some gear! There are several kinds of equipment cards; weapons, armor, rings and some others. Some are generic to all classes, but like abilities some are usable only by certain ones.

I should take the chance to point out that all of the matching between card types to Hero classes is very easily done. The symbol system used in the WoW TCG is very clear and nicely handled. Though it sounds like there are a lot to keep track of, all of the symbols are on the upper and right edges, making it very easy to quickly sort through cards and pick what you want for building a deck.

The last major element is the Allies that your Hero will need to win the fight. Again, the symbol system comes into use as there are Alliance, Horde and Neutral Allies for you to choose from. There are very few that are simple ?blocker? types; the strategy of this TCG goes deeper still as Allies can have their own abilities to use in the game.

Putting it into Play

The WoW TCG plays a lot like many other CCGs. You use resources to bring out your Ally cards to fight, to cast your Hero?s abilities, to attach equipment cards to use and lastly work to get any combos you planned while deck building actually into play. In other words, it can be a really deep, strategic game if that?s the way you want to play; it can also be relatively simple if you?re using the 30 card starter decks without any changes.

One of the impressive things about this TCG is how well balanced the starter decks are. There may appear to be a big spread on how may points the heroes have, but each deck has its strengths and weaknesses and in my experience all the decks play well and are fun. So, while it can be a complex game, it is also a very accessible game. One of our regular players has no previous TCG / CCG experience at all and has had no trouble picking the game up and doing well. My suggestion for beginners is to play with the 30 card Starter Decks for a while until you?re comfortable with the rules.

Though I haven?t played enough games to offer any serious strategies, there are some general impressions I can share. Some games can start off slow, with not much happening for the first 3 turns or so; usually at that point someone will start getting some offensive cards out and the game heats up quickly. Multiplayer games can also go a bit slowly; playing with 4 people we usually aren?t able to finish completely in an hour. When playing one on one, a game can pretty easily be finished up in 30 minutes.

Through the Dark Portal

One of the first things I noticed is that the Dark Portal Expansion to the World of Warcraft TCG is that it has almost as many cards as the Heroes of Azeroth initial release. There are 319 standard cards and 3 legendary in Dark Portal versus 361 standard and 3 legendary in Heroes of Azeroth. Several people in the group I play with were very happy with the fact that the DP set includes 18 new Heroes, 2 more than are in HoA.

Beyond the extra heroes, the cards fall into the same categories and from looking at card list the ratios of abilities, equipment, etc. seem to be roughly the same as in Heroes of Azeroth. Based on the cards I?ve received in the 8 DP booster packs I?ve purchased so far, there are a few things I feel comfortable saying about the expansion.

First, it successfully begins to expand on the potential of the first set. There are abilities specific to the type of specialization your hero has, such as Paladin abilities that require a ?Holy? hero and Shaman abilities that require a ?Restoration? Hero. There is at least one race-specific card I?ve seen, that being Cannibalize for the Undead Hero.

Second, there are a wider variety of neutral abilities, which you could relate to potions and spells in the game if you like. ?Lessons in Lurking? (card #146) gives Stealth, and ?Furious Resolve? (card #144) gives a plus to both attack and strength values.

My last impression is one that I think really sets this game apart from others, and is more generic to the entire TCG. One of the Dark Portal cards I got in a booster is ?Conjured Sparkling Water? (card #47) and it is clearly meant to help another player more than the person putting the card in play. While there are a couple of play formats where this would be useful (teams, arena) the one that first came to mind was playing a Raid Deck.

Raid Decks are a really great feature of the WoW TCG, and in some ways give it more of a board game feel. One person controls the Raid, and the others form a group to try and win the encounter. In the case of the Onyxia Raid Deck, the Dragon Onyxia actually has 3 stages she goes through with each one allowing for a specific special ability. As I mentioned earlier, the Dark Portal seems to have the potential to make this particular play format much more collaborative than if the group were going at the dragon with only their own abilities.

Final thoughts

I mentioned in the introduction that I have purchased some TCG / CCG?s in the past just for the artwork and this one also would have fit into that group even if it hadn?t turned out to be fun to play. The quality of the cardstock and printing is what I expect from a good manufacturer and the size of the art is also standard; though the Heroes have larger art on the reverse instead of the standard card back. I do like that there were a variety of artists and styles commissioned; while I like some better than others, all of them are high quality art.

The box that the Starter Decks come in is nice, it holds 70 ? 90 cards not in sleeves but only around 60 with sleeves. It stays closed well, I have had no accidents just dropping it in a bag and taking it along. A side note here is that if you use card sleeves with a logo in the corner, you may find it covers up some of the card information. I used some spare clear sleeves I had and put the cards in with the sleeve logo on the back of the card which solved the problem.

With the Dark Portal release beginning to touch on some of the unused aspects of the Hero cards, it?s easy to see that future releases will have plenty to build on without repeating what?s been done so far. There is already one more Raid Deck scheduled for release (Molten Core, May 2007) and some online stores are showing a ?Fires of Outland? release and ?Magtheridaon?s Lair? Raid Deck as well, although without release dates.

The game is already well balanced and robust, and if the upcoming releases are as well thought out as the current sets, this TCG could be around for quite a while continuing to engage players in new and interesting ways. If you?re a TCG / CCG player, this one is worth picking up.

Rianna Susco strolled to the fence between sets and flashed a wide grin up to her coach. On Wednesday, April 10, the girls tennis team had already clinched their third win of the season, but Coach Robin Thompson kept that fact from her sophomore player.
After all, you can't reproduce this sort of experience in practice.
"I'm so impressed with the way that she's playing," Thompson said about Susco. "She lost a tough one a couple of days ago in Berlin. We made an adjustment, and she's really taken to it really well."
Susco would eventually win her No. 4 singles match in a split-set battle that spanned almost three hours.
The Knights won three contests last week against senior laden squads, and the Lady Knight underclassmen are holding their own.
"My singles lineup is all sophomores, and some of these kids are beating seniors," said Thompson. "I expected us to compete in all these matches early on, but I'm already seeing a little bit of growth in some of the girls that I didn't expect to see it this early."
With a tight win over Berlin and two easier wins over Middletown and Bristol Central, Southington has already jumped out to a 4-0 record.
The weather is heating up. The competition is getting more difficult, but the Lady Knights are already ahead of the curve. Thompson cautions fans that the upcoming conference schedule would pose problems for a senior heavy team, but she's enjoying the success while it lasts.
"We set up our non-conference schedule to kind of ready us for conference play, but we're doing a nice job," she said. "They're handling it pretty good. It's all about execution, and it gets better with more practice. I think that the more we play, the better it will come-especially our doubles play. There's a lot of strategy and tactical pieces."
On Monday, the Knights out-lasted a tough Berlin team to capture their first road win. Caroline Rodmanand Cassidy Race captured singles wins against upperclassmen. Angela Balaoing and Taylor Grucza beat a pair of seniors at No. 1 doubles, while Emily Sheehan and Maeghan Chapman won at No. 3 doubles to clinch the series, while sophomore Alex Barmore lost in split sets.
The trend continued against Middletown with Rodman, Barmore, Race, and Susco sweeping singles, while Chapman and Sheehan secured a win at No. 3 doubles.
On Friday, Southington almost scored a shutout at Bristol Central. Once again, Southington's singles swept the field while Liz Costello-Emily Grucza and Bailey Potter-Emily Sheehan earned wins at doubles.
With the victories, the Knights improved to 4-0.

In the wake of Friday's disappointing jobs report, "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer thinks investors need to prepare for the possibility of a recession.
After all, the Labor Department said that non-farm payrolls grew by just 80,000 jobs in June, the third straight month below 100,000. Job creation was too weak to bring down the country's 8.2 percent unemployment rateand the report fueled concerns that Europe's debt crisis was shifting the U.S. economy into low gear, if not closer to a recession.
In turn, Cramer detailed a diversified portfolio of five recession-resistant stocks, which he thinks could "do far better than most if this economy keeps slowing down."
Read on for Cramer's 5 Recession-Resistant Stocks
General Mills (GIS)
In a recessionary environment, Cramer thinks demand for commodities could fall, thereby driving down commodity prices. So investors should look for companies that have been hurt by high commodity costs and were able to pass those costs onto the consumer. After all, Cramer said the price of commodities may fall, but the elevated prices on products are likely to stay.
To Cramer, General Mills fits the bill.
"This company has been murdered by raw costs for everything from grain to plastic," Cramer said. "General Mills has just weathered the worst commodity cost crisis in ages and has come out much stronger than almost every other food company."
Cramer likes that General Mills' stock sports a juicy 3.4 percent dividend yield. Plus, General Mills recently raised its dividend payout by 8 percent, which he considers "a classic sign of confidence." The food company has increased its dividend twelve times in eight years.
Read on for Cramer's 5 Recession-Resistant Stocks
Dollar General (DG)
To Cramer, you can't have a recession portfolio without a dollar store and he prefers Dollar General.
The Goodlettsville, Tenn.-based company operates more than 10,000 stores in 40 states. Cramer noted it's only started to expand to California, though, which represents a sizable chunk of the U.S. economy.
"One of the chief reasons I like Dollar General is that I've never seen the stock of a company eat through not one, not two, not three, but four secondaries, or large tranches of insider stock sales and still come out ahead after every one of them," Cramer said.
"While the dollar store theme is no longer unknown and the price to earnings multiples of the whole group have expanded rather dramatically, Dollar General still sells at only a slight premium to its growth rate and I expect that growth rate will accelerate thanks to this expansion into California along with ever-improving same-store sales."
Abbott Laboratories (ABT)
Contrary to certain pop song, Cramer said breaking up is not hard to do when it unlocks value for shareholders. In other words, investors can sometimes benefit from a company's decision to break-up.
For his recession portfolio, Cramer suggests Abbott Laboratories. In October 2011, the company announced plans to split off its pharmaceuticals business into a separate publicly traded company to increase Wall Street's focus on the remaining diversified medical product line that includes medical devices, diagnostics and nutritionals.
"This split is all about creating two stocks that each appeal to a different constituency of money managers," Cramer said. "Abbott's pharma biz gives you a dividend vehicle [while] the medical products biz gives you a growth vehicle and I think both components will deserve to go higher, especially in a recession where portfolio managers will pay a premium for consistency."
Consolidated Edison (ED)
As avid "Mad Money" viewers know, Cramer has talked a lot lately about the need to own dividend-paying stocks with "domestic security," meaning the underlying company has no exposure to Europe.
For his recession portfolio, Cramer suggests Consolidated Edison. The New York-based company is engaged in transmission and distribution. Cramer noted it's not involved in power generation, though, which means the Environmental Protection Agency is less likely to crack down on them.
Cramer also likes that Consolidated Edison's stock currently boasts a 3.9 percent dividend yield. The utility has boosted its dividend for 38 consecutive years, too.
Read on for the last of Cramer's 5 Recession-Resistant Stocks
Verizon Communications (VZ)
Verizon Communications also made it into Cramer's recession portfolio.
Not only does Verizon pay a 4.5 percent dividend yield, Cramer said it's usually one of few stocks to stay up when the rest of the market is being dragged down by news regarding Europe's debt crisis or otherwise.
"It has massive spectrum, the most up-to-date offerings and a terrific margin increase coming as it's able to push non-Apple phones this quarter and make more per customer than if it sold iPhones," Cramer said. "The new pricing schemes, the collapse of T-Mobile and the vast explosion of Internet consumption, all play right to into the hands of this serial dividend booster."
