The man at the reception was very nice and helpful. Nice view from the terrace. However, the hostel didn't look very clean and the rooms were smelling to cigarrete. At night, the staff of the hostel and friends of them, together with some guests had a party at the common area, which is right next to the rooms. We couldn't sleep at all since they only stopped around 3 in the morning when we complained.

Imagine the sight and sound of American nine- and eleven-year-old children performing Shakespeare's Hamlet or Henry V - and understanding every word they recite. Imagine them performing well enough to elicit praise from such accomplished Shakespearean actors as Ian McKellen and Michael York, and to be invited to perform with the Royal Shakespeare Company in England. Such a spectacle would be highly impressive in the toniest of America's private schools. But what if the kids were the children of recent Latino and Asian immigrants attending a large Los Angeles inner-city public school in one of America's toughest neighborhoods?
That is the astonishing story told by the documentary The Hobart Shakespeareans which discovers how one man's uncommon commitment and resourcefulness have opened up worlds of opportunity for his "disadvantaged" students — and perhaps have demonstrated a way forward for America's beleaguered public education system.
More information about The Hobart Shakespeareans including the official trailer can be found on the PBS/POV website.

- Chad Simpson, "The Impact of Place"
- Time: 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
- Location: University Art Gallery
- Description: Chad Simpson will discuss the "Perceptions" exhibit. This event is free and open to the public.
About the exhibit
Western Illinois University Art Gallery is hosting "Perceptions: Exploring Sense of Self and Place through Art" from August 20 through October 19, 2013. As part of this exhibition, award-winning fiction writer Chad Simpson will visit WIU for several events.
How do we become a part of a place, and how does it become a part of us? This exhibition explores how our expectations and experiences inform our perception of our environment or community, and what factors can change that perception over time. The featured works, including interiors, images of the Midwest, neighborhoods, and urban scenes address, in some way, how and why creating a personal, cultural, or community space is important to our personal growth, well being, and success.
Commentary written by WIU faculty, who have been invited to interpret an image and connect it to their discipline, enhances our understanding of these issues. Organized with the "University 100: Personal Growth and Well-Being in Higher Education" course in mind, and with assistance from Dr. Amy Patrick Mossman, associate professor and interim director of Liberal Arts and Sciences, this exhibition should also appeal to anyone who thinks about their place in the world.
About Chad Simpson
Chad Simpson was raised in Monmouth, Illinois, and Logansport, Indiana. His work has appeared in McSweeneys Quarterly, Esquire, American Short Fiction, The Sun, and many other print and online publications. He is the recipient of a fellowship in prose from the Illinois Arts Council and scholarships from the Bread Loaf and Sewanee writers conferences. He teaches at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, where he received the Philip Green Wright/Lombard College Prize for Distinguished Teaching in 2010.
Simpson's visit is made possible by the generous support of The Visiting Lectures Committee.

Why credit cards have expiration dates
Fraud prevention is the top reason. But they also give card companies another chance to check up on you.
This post comes from Gerri Detweiler at partner site Credit.com.
Why do credit cards have expiration dates? If you're like me, you probably haven't given it much thought, or even paid attention to that date until you get a new card in the mail -- or noticed that the one you have is about to expire.
But issuers take expiration dates seriously; turns out, they have to. Here are four reasons that credit cards expire.
Reason 1: Fraud prevention
This is the top reason you're likely to hear when asking this question. "They are mandated by our operating agreements with Visa and MasterCard to help protect against fraud," says Natalie Brown, spokeswoman for Wells Fargo.
How do they do that? "The expiration date is used by merchants and issuers to validate that a card is open (through physical presentment at point of sale) and valid (through real-time authorizations)," says Marcy Cohen, a vice president and senior business leader of worldwide communications for MasterCard.
She explains, "Fraudsters can get their hands on card numbers more easily than they can expiration dates. If counterfeit cards are created and don't have a valid expiration date, the card will be declined." (Post continues below.)
Reason 2: Another chance to check up on you
"A limited-term expiration date of, say, three years -- typical -- allows the creditworthiness of cardholders to be re-evaluated on an ongoing basis, in addition to the normal annual review," says Bob Hammer, the founder and CEO of R.K. Hammer, a bank card advisory firm.
While in the past you'd often get a generous credit line increase when a replacement card arrived, more recently some cardholders have received a new card with a lower credit line. But if your credit is strong and you've kept your account active by using it from time to time, you probably don't have anything to be concerned about.
And don't worry that your card issuer might arbitrarily raise the interest rate or add an annual fee to your card when it renews. That's not allowed, thanks to protections offered under the Credit CARD Act.
Reason 3: So you can use it
Depending on how often you use your card and where you keep it when you're not using it, the plastic may take a pretty good beating. "Cards wear out and the mag stripes cannot work forever, so cards need to be renewed," says Cohen. "Dates allow the issuer to proactively replace cards on a timely basis prior to the magnetic stripe wearing out, or images becoming worn due to use."
Hammer adds that a "plastic card has only so much life expectancy before the mag stripe and tipping (the painted name and numbers on the face of the card) deteriorate, and would need to be reissued anyway."
If an issuer gets the new card to you before the old one wears out, it's less likely you'll reach for another piece of plastic in your wallet.
Reason 4: To get a facelift
If your new card looks prettier than the previous one, there's a reason for that.
"Card designs are also refreshed periodically, and the replacement schedule also helps keep the cards looking up-to-date," says Brown. You might like that flashier piece of plastic enough to pull it out of your wallet and use it more often. At least that's what your issuer hopes.

So it appears the food series continues over infrequent blog posts.( I've now added a food category for blog posts for locating these previous pieces.) Today's entry steals its title directly from The Atlantic magazine article that pits Walmart against Whole Foods in the areas of sustainably raised foods and family budgets. I read this article over the weekend and was fascinated by the "Walmart effect" countering big agriculture. Even to write that seems counterintuitive. Yet, there are signs this is one way Walmart's buying power might be surprisingly benign. And in fairness, as we examine food safety and agribusiness issues, we should take a look at what some companies are doing right. In this excerpt, Atlantic senior editor Corby Kummer explores his own surprised reaction to Walmart's efforts:
I started looking into how and why Walmart could be plausibly competing with Whole Foods, and found that its produce-buying had evolved beyond organics, to a virtually unknown program—one that could do more to encourage small and medium-size American farms than any number of well-meaning nonprofits, or the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with its new Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food campaign. Not even Fishman, who has been closely tracking Walmart's sustainability efforts, had heard of it. "They do a lot of good things they don't talk about," he offered.
The program, which Walmart calls Heritage Agriculture, will encourage farms within a day's drive of one of its warehouses to grow crops that now take days to arrive in trucks from states like Florida and California. In many cases the crops once flourished in the places where Walmart is encouraging their revival, but vanished because of Big Agriculture competition.
Ron McCormick, the senior director of local and sustainable sourcing for Walmart, told me that about three years ago he came upon pictures from the 1920s of thriving apple orchards in Rogers, Arkansas, eight miles from the company's headquarters. Apples were once shipped from northwest Arkansas by railroad to St. Louis and Chicago. After Washington state and California took over the apple market, hardly any orchards remained. Cabbage, greens, and melons were also once staples of the local farming economy. But for decades, Arkansas's cash crops have been tomatoes and grapes. A new initiative could diversify crops and give consumers fresher produce.
As with most Walmart programs, the clear impetus is to claim a share of consumer spending: first for organics, now for locally grown food. But buying local food is often harder than buying organic. The obstacles for both small farm and big store are many: how much a relatively small farmer can grow and how reliably, given short growing seasons; how to charge a competitive price when the farmer's expenses are so much higher than those of industrial farms; and how to get produce from farm to warehouse.
Walmart knows all this, and knows that various nonprofit agricultural and university networks are trying to solve the same problems. In considering how to build on existing programs (and investments), Walmart talked with the local branch of the Environmental Defense Fund, which opened near the company's Arkansas headquarters when Walmart started to look serious about green efforts, and with the Applied Sustainability Center at the University of Arkansas. The center (of which the Walmart Foundation is a chief funder) is part of a national partnership called Agile Agriculture, which includes universities such as Drake and the University of New Hampshire and nonprofits like the American Farmland Trust.* To get more locally grown produce into grocery stores and restaurants, the partnership is centralizing and streamlining distribution for farms with limited growing seasons, limited production, and limited transportation resources.
Walmart says it wants to revive local economies and communities that lost out when agriculture became centralized in large states. (The heirloom varieties beloved by foodies lost out at the same time, but so far they're not a focus of Walmart's program.) This would be something like bringing the once-flourishing silk and wool trades back to my hometown of Rockville, Connecticut. It's not something you expect from Walmart, which is better known for destroying local economies than for rebuilding them.
Your comments are welcome. There aren't any Walmart grocery stores near where I live, so I'd like to know what you all have found.

MONDAY, July 11 (HealthDay News) -- Approval for the Boostrix
vaccine has been expanded by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
to prevent tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough) in
people 65 and older, the agency said in a news release.
While other vaccines exist to prevent tetanus and diphtheria
among seniors, this is the first single booster shot to prevent all
three diseases among this age group, the FDA said.
The vaccine's safety and effectiveness were evaluated in trials
involving some 1,300 people aged 65 and older. The most common
adverse reactions reported were headache, fatigue and
injection-site pain.
The vaccine was initially approved in May 2005 for people aged
10 through 18. Approval was widened in December 2008 to include
adults aged 19 through 64.
The product is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals,
based in Belgium.

Man tries to sell girlfriend's baby on Craigslist
A Staten Island man has been charged after he tried to sell his girlfriend's newborn on Craigslist for $100, authorities said on Monday.
Paul Marquez, 22, allegedly placed the ad under the "Baby and Kids" section of the site, The New York Daily News reports. The ad included his phone number, his girlfriend's name and a picture of the baby.
"Heyy I have a 2 month old baby," the ad read. "She loves to play nd have her little fun but there is only 1 problem, the doctor said that she has asthma nd if she turns a certain way she can stop breathing, she's really getting on my nerves nd I don't want her."
Marquez was apparently upset that his girlfriend, Katie Devalle, 19, was too busy to pay enough attention to him.
He admitted that he did it all to "get back at Katie," a source told the News.
At least one person actually responded to the ad. Marquez gave Devalle's phone number to the person, who then called the mom and offered to buy the infant. Police are investigating whether the caller was serious.
Marquez was arraigned last week for violation of a social services law, aggravated harassment and endangering the welfare of a child. He was being held on $1,000 bail.
Two people reported the ad to police, according to the News.

After years of baking and savoring brownies, I can truthfully say, with complete confidence, that these are The Best Brownies I've Ever Tasted.
With explosive notes of espresso beans, as rich and full as though you had just savored a freshly brewed espresso at a sidewalk cafe, deepened by the rich, captivating, sensual notes of dark chocolate, these brownies are truly a journey in chocolate and coffee, the paradigm of mocha perfection...
Espresso Dark Chocolate Brownies
3/4 cup butter or light vegan margarine (such as SmartBalance Light)
5 oz unsweetened chocolate
2 cups raw turbinado sugar
1 T instant espresso powder
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
4 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 60% cacao)
~ Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 15- by 10- by 1-inch baking pan with parchment paper, and coat the paper with olive oil cooking spray.
~ In the microwave or on the stove-top over low heat, melt the butter or SmartBalance Light along with the unsweetened chocolate, stirring until smooth.
~ Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat, if you're using the stove-top, and whisk in the turbinado sugar, espresso powder, vanilla, and salt.
~ Add the eggs 1 at a time, whisking after each addition.
~ Toss together the flour and dark chocolate chips in another bowl and then add them to batter, folding them in until just combined.
~ Spread the batter in the baking pan, and bake for about 20 minutes - until the top is set and the edges just begin to pull away from sides of pan.
~ Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing and savoring!

DANVILLE, Ky. Vice President Joe Biden and Republican rival Paul Ryan sparred Thursday in often personal terms that exposed their core beliefs over the role of their faith and their deeply held views about the role of government in American life and foreign policy.
Both men were assertive from the outset, a reflection of the closeness of the presidential race just weeks before the election, each eager to trumpet the strengths of their tickets and equally zealous in ripping the other party.
Biden was aggressive, hoping to make up for President Barack Obama's tepid performance in his opening debate last week against Republican nominee Mitt Romney, a performance that reset the race and thrust the Republicans back into contention.
Pressing to make his points, Biden at times raised his voice and jabbed his finger at moderator Martha Raddatz of ABC News.
Ryan was more measured, often lowering his voice after Biden. A fresh-faced congressman who had never debated on the national stage despite his 14 years in the House of Representatives, Ryan betrayed no signs of nervousness about the showdown with Biden.
Usually an afterthought with little impact on the race, the only such meeting between the No. 2s on their respective tickets took on added significance after the initial presidential face-off last week and Obama's negative reviews Oct. 3.
Since then, Romney has pulled even with Obama in national polls and closed the gap in several battleground states.
In their sole debate, Biden and Ryan sparred repeatedly on domestic policies such as Medicare and taxes, as well as foreign policy questions such as the attack in Libya that led to the deaths of four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.
Most topics covered the same ground as the Obama-Romney debate. It was in their personal exchanges that Biden and Ryan shed new light on the two major party tickets and their policies.
Both Irish Roman Catholics, Biden and Ryan spoke about how their faith drives their different positions on abortion.
"Our faith informs us in every thing we do," Ryan said. He added that science also plays a role in his opposition to abortion rights in most cases, saying he and his wife were touched by the ultrasound image of their unborn first child.
While he himself favors more limits, he said Romney's policy would be to oppose abortion except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.
"My religion defines who I am," Biden said, stressing both his church's caring for the poor as well as its belief that life begins at conception.
"Catholic social doctrine talks about taking care of those who can't take care of themselves," Biden said.
While he said he shares the belief that life begins at conception, he said that was personal.
"I refuse to impose it on equally devout Christians and Muslims and Jews," he said. "I don't believe we have the right to tell women they can't control their lives."
In one of the more personal exchanges, Ryan told how Romney helped a family hit by injuries pay for college, and how he gives more than 30 percent of his income to charity more than Biden and Ryan combined. "Mitt Romney is a good man," Ryan said.
Referring to the criticism of Romney's secretly taped comments disparaging 47 percent of Americans as freeloaders, Ryan said, "He cares about 100 percent of the Americans."
Noting Biden's own tendency for gaffes, Ryan joked that "sometimes the words don't come out of your mouth the right way."
"I don't doubt his personal commitment to individuals," Biden said. "But I know he had no commitment to the automobile industry." Romney opposed the government bailout of Chrysler and General Motors. Both automakers are now on firmer financial ground.
Biden was animated throughout the debate, at turns smiling and laughing, as well as grimacing in response to Ryan's answers to Raddatz's questions. The vice president interrupted which he did repeatedly as Ryan criticized the administration's Middle East policy.
"That's a bunch of malarkey," Biden said, subsequently suggesting that Ryan's remarks were "a bunch of stuff."
Ryan challenged the Obama administration's first accounts of the Libya attacks, which at first claimed that an anti-Muslim video inflamed a crowd rather than calling it a terrorist attack. He noted that President Barack Obama referred to the video six times in a speech to the United Nations after the Libya attack.
"This is becoming more troubled by the day," Ryan said of the still-emerging details of what the administration knew in those first days after the attack.
Ryan said it was "indicative of a broader problem the unraveling of the Obama foreign policy."
Biden defended the administration's response, saying it relied on intelligence reports that turned out to be false.
"We will get to the bottom of it," he said.
They tangled on Iran, with Ryan charging that Iran is "racing toward" developing nuclear weapons and that the administration dragged its feet to impose sanctions it now says are working to deter the regime.
"When Barack Obama was elected, they had enough nuclear material to make one bomb. Now they have enough for five," Ryan said.
Biden accused Republicans of "bluster" and "loose talk" and asked Ryan what else could be done beyond the "most crippling sanctions in the history of sanctions." He asked whether Ryan was saying that he'd back a war with Iran.
"How are they going to prevent war if there's nothing more they say we should do than we've already done?" Biden said. "We feel quite confident we could deal a serious blow to the Iranians."
Biden argued that Obama has led with a steady and solid foreign policy from Afghanistan and Iraq to the Middle East. "The president has led with a steady hand and a clear vision," he said.
Heading into the debate, the two campaigns clashed repeatedly in ever tougher tones since the first presidential debate shook up the race.
Most notably, Romney has appeared to stake out or emphasize more moderate parts of his agenda, and the Obama-Biden campaign has all but accused the Romney-Ryan ticket of lying to paper over the more conservative message that Romney used to win his party's nomination.
On Medicare, Obama wants to retain the traditional system, relying on the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to extend the life of the program by raising fees, and shaving $716 billion from anticipated payments to health care providers.
Ryan accuses Obama of looking to loot Medicare of $716 billion to help pay for the health care law, but Ryan used the same $716 billion in savings in the 10-year budget he proposed as chairman of the House Budget Committee. He's since backtracked from his plan, and Romney insists he'd return the money to Medicare.
"We are not going to jeopardize Medicare," Ryan said.
Romney vows to repeal Obama's health care act.

A new Killer Is Dead trailer was launched today in Japanese and as anyone who has played any of Suda 51's most recent games, spoiler warning, this trailer is showing off a huge amount of stuff that could potentially be near the end of the game seeing how short they usually are.
It may be in Japanese, but it's not always the plot that people go for when they dive into a Suda 51 game.
Killer Is Dead launches for PS3 and Xbox 360 at the end of August in the western world with two variations of the game being available, more on those here.
posted 27 July, 2013
The European publisher for Killer Is Dead, Deep Silver, has released a bunch of new information regarding the launch of two special editions of the game, as well as a new trailer, which is available after the break.
posted 28 June, 2013
Suda 51's latest is getting stranger by the minute, but that music keeps getting better too.
This trailer details some gameplay as well as the "Gigolo Glasses" that "let you see into the desires of women around you," which I guess translates to seeing through their clothes as seen in the trailer, it's almost as if those recent controversies and endless articles about female roles in video games and the industry never happened.
Killer Is Dead is set to launch for PS3 and Xbox 360 sometime in August.
posted 30 April, 2013
No confirmation of a Western release of Suda 51's latest had been made, until now. XSEED are going to be publishing the game in the US and Canada and Deep Silver will be publishing the game in Europe and the UK.
Deep Silver has confirmed that the game will feature both English and Japanese audio tracks as a small bonus.
Killer Is Dead is expected to arrive in Japan around the summertime for PS3 and Xbox 360. The same is probably true for the western release.
posted 31 January, 2013
With most sites (including this one) compiling their game of the year awards lists, this downloadable game might just miss out on getting any nominations at all.

Gaertner Ellipsometer
Manufacturer: Gaertner Scientific L3W16 Ellipsometer
Classification: Measurement
Equipment: Multi-wavelength, variable angle ellipsometer
-Measures thickness and index of refraction of thin dielectric and polymer films on reflective substrates.
Operating Instructions and Training:
Training for this and several other metrology tools may be accomplished in a single session tutorial. See the MNFL staff for details.
For additional information regarding this machine, please contact the PRISM Staff at: firstname.lastname@example.com
General Information and Usage
This ellipsometer is used for measuring thickness and refractive index of transparent films, especially on a silicon substrate. A disadvantage of this technique is the calculated film thickness leads to multiple solutions, so before measurement you need to know the thickness range (within 2800 Å for SiO2). Alternatives are to use two wavelengths of light or two incident angles to find a unique solution.
Complex film structures may also be analyzed; see the MNFL staff for more information.

William Tipton was convicted by a jury on Aug. 8 of three counts of grand theft embezzlement and one count of perjury. His wife Frayba was convicted of two counts of grant theft embezzlement and two counts of perjury.
The couple was scheduled for sentencing on Monday, but their attorney Russell Humphrey was unavailable due to illness.
Judge Lauren Thomasson rescheduled the couple's sentencing for 9 a.m. on Oct. 15 in Department 14.
William Tipton told the judge his firearms were scheduled for destruction on Oct. 10. He said he had someone interested in buying the firearms but needed a court order to get them back.
According to a Tracy Police Department report, on Nov. 28, 2012 a relative of the Tiptons turned in to police a .45-cal. semi-automatic handgun, a different semi-automatic pistol, a 12-gage single barrel pump action shotgun and a .233 rifle bolt action Beretta.
Frayba Tipton told the judge they originally planned to give the firearms to a relative, but now they had a third-party interested in the purchase. She said they needed the money for their court costs.
Thomasson asked Deputy District Attorney JC Weydert if he objected to Tipton getting his firearms back.
Weydert said officials at the Tracy Police Department stated they had concerns that the firearms would "find their way back to Mr. Tipton."
Thomasson ruled that nothing would happen to the firearms until she made a formal ruling on Oct. 15.

Tumblr is dumb and I can't add another picture to my previous post.
SO here's a bigger picture, which shows some of the things I like about the outfit. The glows on the maces echo the glows from shaman DPS weapon enhancements - Flametongue and Frostbrand.
The gloves are made of bones sewn together. That's just awesome.
The whole thing has a Wrath feel to it, like a jungle troll who went to Northrend and encountered Arthas, and could never emotionally move on, even when the battle turned south, reacting to the Cataclysm, to defeating Deathwing.
I feel like using runed weaponry makes some of the runic embellishment from the kilt feel more natural. It's technically Icecrown Paladin plate. She might remember her shaman heritage, but it will always be tempered by the things she learned from the Lich King. The spirits will not heed her call any longer, but perhaps she can bind some of their power in her runes, use that to strengthen her necromagics, maybe make them less harmful to her and the earth. Perhaps the natural world has forsaken her, but she has not forsaken it.

You don't know how pleased I was to open to your Opinion Page on Thanksgiving morning and read President Lincoln's 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation. How fitting, meaningful and relevant in today's world, with reference to "the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God ... the gracious gifts of the Most High God," "praise to our beneficent Father" and "the interposition of the Almighty hand," reasons for our giving thanks.
I hope that your readers took the time to read and reflect on that "proclamation" in the midst of the "mountains" of secular advertisements and the rush to get to "Black Friday." Great job, Day!

Nārada Muni is one of the great devotees of the Lord who appeared among the demigods. Prahlāda Mahārāja appeared among the demons, and many other great devotees, such as Ambarīṣa Mahārāja and the Pāṇḍavas, appeared among human beings.

Does losing AAA credit mean much to European ETFs?
Last Friday, the UK became the latest country to lose the prestigious AAA credit rating when Moody's Investors Service downgraded it to Aa1, citing sluggish economic growth and a growing debut burden.
The U.K., the world's sixth-largest economy according to the CIA World Factbook, is not alone in having lost its AAA rating. Recent departures include Austria and France as well as the U.S. in 2011. Do not bet on any of those countries, or any of the others that have lost the perfect rating, to get it back anytime soon.
Canada lost its AAA rating from Standard & Poor's in 1992 and could not get it back until 2002, The Independent reported. The paper also notes that Australia lost its AAA rating in 1986 and did not get it back until 2003.
While one issue may have nothing to do with the other, as developed world government balance sheets have deteriorated, the ETF industry has grown. That means there are plenty of country ETFs with which to measure the impact of the loss of a AAA credit rating. And investors in the iShares MSCI U.K. Index Fund (EWU) will want to have a look at the following.
Note this list looks at the performance of select Europe ETFs following the first loss of the AAA rating. For example, if Moody's downgraded the country in January, but Standard & Poor's followed in April, this list measures the performance of the ETF from the first downgrade.
iShares MSCI France Index Fund (EWQ) S&P stripped France of the AAA rating in January 2012 while Moody's chimed in on the Eurozone's second-largest economy in November of that year.
EWQ, the lone France ETF, gained almost 10% in the month following the S&P downgrade, but three months later that ETF was barely in the green. Six months following the S&P downgrade, EWQ had lost 3.73 percent. On the bright side, EWQ has jumped 6.3% in the past year.
iShares MSCI Austria Capped Investable Market Index Fund (EWO) S&P took Australia's AAA rating at the same time it took the stellar rating from France.
However, the immediate performance of the iShares MSCI Austria Capped Investable Market Index Fund might deceive some investors into thinking the headlines did not matter.
About 11 weeks following the news, EWO had surged nearly 19%.
The gains quickly wilted, though. A month later, EWO's post-downgrade gain was just 10.8%. And six months removed from the loss of the AAA rating, EWO was trading where it was pre-downgrade. To be fair, EWO, like EWQ, trades at much higher prices today than where it did before and in the months immediately following the loss of AAA credit.
iShares MSCI Spain Capped Index Fund (EWP) The performance of the iShares MSCI Capped Index Fund, in the wake of Spain no longer being an AAA nation, is arguably a case of good and bad timing. S&P made the call in early 2009, at the height of the global financial crisis. However the ETF was then positioned to take advantage of the March 2009 market bottom.
To that end, EWP was up more than 13% 90 days after the downgrade. Six months later, the ETF was up nearly 40%. Proving that all good things must come to an end, Spain's problems proved too much for EWP to handle over the past couple of years and EWP is now found residing at almost exactly the same price as where it traded a day after Spain ceased being an AAA country.

Struggling Lee County schools are getting a helping hand.
The district created a new position this year to get under-performing schools back on track.
The 1,752 students at East Lee County High School may not know it, but they're getting some extra help this year.
The school received a "D" on its last report card (2011-2012 school year).
Now Dr. Martha Hayes is giving the school a shot in the arm.
Hayes is the director for turn around schools - a brand new position for the district.
"I'd have to describe myself as a coach, and a collaborator, and an advocator," Hayes explained.
This year her focus is on nine struggling schools.
"She comes in as somebody who is here to help us, as opposed to the gotcha mentality; which is something that helps relieve a little bit of the stress and tension," said Brian Managan, the principal at East Lee County High.
Managan admitted writing is one of his school's weaknesses.
Hayes' job is to look at the data, create a team, and bring resources from the district to the school.
"If they're doing it to better the school, go with it," said Toby Gray.
Gray's daughter is a sophomore at East Lee County High.
"I want her to go get an education, she's not there to party or anything else," said Gray, "She's there to work and get ready for her adulthood."
Administrators want the school's grade to improve.
However, they will measure success several different ways; such as individual test scores and number of students who receive college scholarships.
Hayes works at the following schools:
- East Lee County High- Fort Myers Middle Academy- Harns Marsh Middle- James Stephens Academy- Manatee Elementary - Colonial Elementary- Franklin Park Elementary- Tortuga Preserve Elementary- Orange River Elementary

To find a doctor, call 800-667-5356 or click below:
Find a Doctor
Request an Appointment
Today's entry is intended to be almost comic relief. Several women have alerted me to this recent pronouncement by Dr. Oz, sometimes called "America's Doctor," that carrying your cell phone in your bra can cause breast cancer. This seems worse than the persistent email rumors about antiperspirant causing breast cancer because the source is someone who is often respected and quoted. We are all looking for answers, and even one that seems (to me anyway) clearly whacko can feel attractive because it tells us "why."
Here is a reminder of the truth: Except for those women who carry a gene mutation (BRCA1 or BRCA2), no one knows what causes breast cancer or most other kinds of cancer. We do know about the dangers of tobacco and asbestos and a few cancers being caused by viruses (such as HPV), but we have no idea why most cancers begin. Very honestly, it is not easy for a body to make cancer, to allow those cells to grow. We are created with a lot of complicated biological systems that are supposed to quell problems, dangers and invaders to our physical selves, and a lot has to go wrong for cancer to develop.
This is an entertaining blog from Science Based Medicine about this recent story. You might want to bookmark the site for future good reading. Here is the start and a link:
No, carrying your cell phone in your bra will not cause breast cancer, no matter what Dr. Oz says.
I don't think very highly of Dr. Oz.
Yes, yes, I realize that saying that is akin to saying that water is wet, the sun rises in the east, and that it gets damned cold here in the upper Midwest in December, but there you go. This year, I've been mostly avoiding the now un-esteemed Dr. Mehmet Oz, a.k.a. "America's doctor," even though his show could, if I paid much attention to it anymore, provide me with copious blogging material, because I've come to the conclusion that he is beyond redemption. He's gone over to the Dark Side and is profiting handsomely from it. There's little I can do about it except for, from time to time, writing about some of Dr. Oz's more egregious offenses against medical science and reason, putting our tens of thousands of readers per day against his millions of viewers per day. It's an asymmetric battle that we don't have much of a shot at winning. However, at least from time to time I can correct misinformation that Oz promotes, particularly when it impacts my speciality. Consider it doing something pre-emptively to help myself. When one of my patients ask about something that's been on Oz's show, I can simply point her to specific blog posts, as I did the last time around when Oz arguably flouted the human subjects protection regulations of his own university and of the Department of Health and Human Services by running in essence a poorly-designed clinical trial to show that green coffee bean extract can promote weight loss. Of course, it showed nothing of the sort.

On my recent trip to St. Augustine, Florida, I discovered that my history books omitted an important detail about early American history. I toured the oldest fort in continental North America: the Castillo de San Marcos, located in St. Augustine. During the tour, the park ranger shocked me with important information...
Are you ready for this? Prepare to be upset. I certainly was.

Elizabeth Smart said she's elated to hear about three Cleveland women who escaped Monday after they disappeared a decade ago.
"I am so overjoyed —so happy to hear another happy ending," Smart said Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America" (http://abcn.ws/YrUx5k ), adding that the escape is proof families and victims should not give up hope.

"We need to have constant vigilance, constantly keep our eyes open and ears open because miracles do happen."
Smart was kidnapped from her bedroom in Salt Lake City when she was 14. She was freed nine months later when she was found walking with her captor on a suburban street in March 2003.
Smart advised the Ohio women to focus on moving forward and letting go of the past. And she urged people to allow the family privacy so they can heal and "find their own pathway back to some sense of wellbeing."
She also advised the women not to let their alleged kidnappers continue to control their lives.
"He's stolen so much from them already, they deserve to be happy. And I would tell them I hope that they realize there is so much ahead of them, that they don't need to hold on to the past," Smart said. "They don't need to relive everything that's happened, because it's proof, their rescue is proof that there are good people out there."
Smart's father, Ed Smart, said in a phone interview Tuesday that the story is one of hope.
"I just couldn't be more excited and happy for these three women — three more miracles," he said. "It's hope and survival and being able to move forward. It's not a sad ending. It's a new life for them. After 10 years of captivity, I'm sure they have a lot to live for."
Asked about getting through post-abduction trauma, Ed Smart said, "Getting your daughter back is all you need. It's what I dreamed about and hoped for."
Ed Smart said he learned that he had to let go of what happened to avoid dwelling on the past.
"We've got her now, and we are living the future," he said.
Elizabeth Smart is now married and living in Park City. She is finishing a music degree at Brigham Young University. She also has been busy traveling across the country giving speeches and doing advocacy work.
Elizabeth Smart created the Elizabeth Smart Foundation, which brings awareness to predatory child crimes. And she is working on a memoir about her experiences and how she turned them into a way to advocate for children.
"Life's great," Ed Smart said. "She's doing what she wants to do. Having her do so well is an equal blessing."
In a statement released Tuesday through her publicist, Jaycee Dugard said the human spirit is resilient, and the case reaffirms that people should never give up hope.
Dugard was abducted from a South Lake Tahoe, Calif., bus stop in 1991 at the age of 11 and held captive for 18 years in a backyard, where she gave birth to two children conceived by rape.
She wrote a best-selling memoir in 2011, "A Stolen Life," which recounts her years in captivity.
Police in Cleveland said the three women who vanished a decade ago were found Monday. Authorities later arrested three brothers, ages 50 to 54. Authorities suspect the women were tied up and held at the house.

As part of this month's (August 2012) focus on all things property related, we have women from the 10thousandgirl community sharing their property journeys. Here is our first one!
Name: Jo
Age: Do I have to?
Profession: PR
Location: Sydney
Tell us a little about yourself (personal, professional, fun, family) so we can get to know you a little better!
I'm a self-employed PR and communication import from the UK, a Hello Kitty enthusiast. Love exercising outdoors.
When did you buy?
My first, July 2009, my second, May 2011.
Did you buy alone or with someone else?
By myself – very happily. I read articles about whether girls should buy alone or not, such nonsense, of course they should, every wants/needs a home and everyone needs financial security at any point in their life, if they can afford it.
When did you first think you wanted to buy?
Like most people, I had lofty ideas of self-employment, first property and marriage by 30. Ha, try telling your life how your life is going to pan out…
How did you know property was for you?
I'm a relentless researcher, I put exactly the time it takes to find what I want. So, when I do, it's usually the right side of perfect based on research, realigning according to needs, wants and price.
I'd been looking longer than most, probably eight or nine months, so when I found it, it was an easy & quick sales process, and most importantly, it felt like home when the minute I walked in to the viewing. It was a top floor sunny haven that when I closed the door, the rest of the world disappeared. Also useful was that I could go to viewings in office hours when many can't, that way, I got to move quickly and secure the deal.
I'd come from renting a great property in terms of location, price and size – right on Bondi Beach, but it was ground floor and dark. I'd had a peeping Tom and I didn't realise how much I appreciated moving into a sunny top floor safe haven. I still appreciate it three years on, and have that nice feeling of 'home' every time I walk in.
When did you get serious and start taking the steps to buy?
As an import, with no family or experience of buying in Australia, let alone Sydney's unique, expensive and competitive Eastern Suburbs, I attended a one day course on first-time property buying through the Eastern Suburbs Community College. It turns out to have been the best $130 odd dollars I've ever spent as far as wealth management and creating a home are concerned.
Who did you talk to during the buying process (professionals/family/friends)?
I asked the guy taking the course, Scott Durrant of Successful Ways (property coach, buyer's agent, mortgage broker, and other financial/property services) what else he did beyond teaching – that's what was great, he imparted his knowledge without selling his other services. There was instant trust there as a result.
What questions did you ask?
Subtly, reason for the sale, how many in the block, planned works, owner/tenant occupation, strata fees, company title vs strata, how long it had been on the market.
I worked with Scott as my property coach, I'd go and trawl every Saturday and report back. People who are in property love talking about it, they don't get tired of the questions. He'd help me with the next set of questions to ask the agent and filter the good properties from the bad.
What other research did you do?
Pavement pounding – I went and looked at everything in my price range and certain specifications, just to be sure, it helps narrow the criteria for what you will and won't compromise on.
How did you save for the deposit?
It's kind of a weirdly bad story with a good outcome. I went through a really tough few years in my personal life, I'd quit a very well-paid job to start a business in a completely new area, my boyfriend dumped me shortly after, a parent (in the UK) had cancer, a sibling (here in Aus) went through quite a serious situation so I threw the new business idea aside, focused on family and keeping myself sane, started freelancing and eventually grew a good set of clients. During the three or so years, I was quite isolated as a result and this pot of money kind of grew itself. Almost accidentally. Good things do come from bad!
Also, somehow, I've never had a credit card and have been debt-free since paying off my student loan in my late 20s so I was lucky not to have the mental drain that I understand debt can be.
It's daunting but just get saving, sooner rather than later, and establish a budget and plans. I'd allocate myself a certain amount of cash each week, no card payment allowed. When you realise how much you fork out on rent and socialising along the way, it's sickening.
Did you buy as a home or for an investment?
Both – always as home to live in for a few years, and always with the intention it would be a good investment in the longer-term.
Where did you buy?
Bellevue Hill, near Bondi in Sydney's East.
What was the most difficult or challenging thing during the process?
Wondering if the deposit pot was ever going to reach the magic number!
Giving up those gorgeous Saturday mornings to do the mad dash between apartment showing times for eight or nine months, have your hopes raised and dashed when somehow, they weren't quite right. You start wondering where you need to compromise.
What was the most fun or rewarding thing during the process?
Always the potential of what I was going to discover …but the most rewarding thing was that I found a beautiful home with great rental and sale potential, at what could almost be described as a bargain (for Eastern Suburbs prices).
What was the most important thing when looking at the mortgage?
Take advice, shop around, consider offsets, consider whether you're cautious or risky to decide on fixed vs variable.
Who or what was the most helpful?
I keep saying it, but seriously, Scott Durrant at Successful Ways was invaluable & patient. I'd research the properties, go and view, report back, and he would help me evaluate each one, and how to negotiate with the agent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend doing a course, or working with him.
What has it been like after the purchase?
So painless that I did it again! Scott helped me work out that there was enough equity in my property to buy again. I went through the process a lot quicker this time, probably helped by the fact that I wasn't going to live in it so could make an impartial good decision. That said, it's great and I would consider living in it if I ever had to! It's a one bedder with sunroom, study, terrace, lock-up garage in a small block just back from the beach in Bronte. It's rented out, I cover some of the mortgage each month, which with my existing mortgage is something not everyone could manage I guess but I'm doing the hard yards now for the future.
Do you have any other property related goals?
Well, I'm currently looking to buy my third actually for a business idea, and ultimately would like property in New York and London in the not too distant future, also part of a business & property strategy I'm currently looking at.
I'm essentially using well-bought property as part of my superannuation / retirement strategy.
Any tips you would give other 10thousandgirls who are thinking about buying?
-Work out what you will and won't compromise on, garage, balcony, light, two rooms etc – I compromised on the location, I had my heart set on Bondi but realistically, the quality, and the quality vs price quality just wasn't there. Especially when you're competing with couples and their dual income, and often rich couples with parental backing.
I knew that without the beach on my doorstep, I needed a balcony. I also personally prefer the art deco blocks vs the new builds, because they're better quality and won't crack in ten years.
-Check on the hidden costs and don't pretend they're not there – sinking funds, insurances etc, strata fees. Older blocks don't tend to have as high strata fees to cover lifts, pools, concierge etc. do the reports, get the advice.
-It took me a long time to get my head out of Bondi and look at surrounding suburbs. Best thing I did. I almost bought a lemon right on Bondi Beach, thankfully, Scott and his team had done the research to show that insurances for the awnings over tourist cafes hadn't been paid for a while, so if anything happened to them, I and other owners would have been liable.
-Buy with head and heart, not just heart. It's easy to say but only by spending a good period of time researching will you come to a happy medium.
Thanks Jo for sharing your story and your tips!

Nice combination of hand drawn on here. Very nice map- kudos
Amazing, very nice work, inspiring
This is an absolutely stunning map! I want one. ;)
Really amazing use of mountains. Fantastic work.
Love it, this map is perfect!
This is such a beautiful, breathtaking map! Your skill in depicting different types of mountains and terrain is impressive. I truly love your style. The mastery of using self-made brushes is something I'm envious of (not the only thing btw^^). I'm looking forward to your maps to be! :D
Gorgeous stuff and clearly the work of someone who cares about this world. Ive spent ages looking at this, pouring over the various areas...
n Nimtal, just south of elis, there are a few oddly-shaped lakes. Not sure if those are intentional or brush mistakes?

Admission of Campus Students to On-Line Courses
OFFICE OF RECORD: Vice President for Academic Affairs
ISSUED BY: E-Education Services
Dakota State University provides an array of on-line courses to facilitate degree completion for distance students. While these courses are primarily offered for distance students, other students will be allowed to enroll in the courses when space is available. Because DSU strives to provide successful learning experiences for its students, certain limitations are placed on these enrollments. At-risk students are prohibited from enrolling in on-line courses until they are considered in good academic standing with the university.
Full-time undergraduate on-campus students in good academic standing with the university must have the approval of the course instructor in order to register for the course. (See exception noted below.) Approval is verified by having the course instructor sign the student's registration form. This requirement will allow the instructor to control the course enrollment and allow adequate space for distance students.
Research has shown that at-risk students have difficulty successfully completing courses offered at a distance due to the less structured format of the courses. For that reason, at-risk students are prohibited from enrolling in on-line courses until they are considered in good academic standing with the university. At-risk students include those who were admitted to the university as an exception to the regular admissions policies, students on academic probation, or students identified by university staff as at-risk for non-academic reasons.
NOTE: If a course is offered only via distance, (no on-campus, face-to-face section of the course is being offered that semester) students in good academic standing do not need the instructor's signature prior to registration.

Crystal Spider
Twitches legs.
Pit-pattering footsteps; vocalizations (periodic and on-click)
Can most commonly be found in Frostwhisper Gorge in southern Winterspring.
found the area roday. after a surch.
and after a hour or so found a rare. in winter. :D
couldnt be happier.
found him in frostwisper. in the vally.
Winter is not the best season to look for your rare Crystal Spider, because many Snowy Owls spawns in their places.
I must have the worst luck ever, spent the last 2 hrs spinning in circles to get a rare and still no luck.
This pet is on both the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor Safari achievement. Reports tho say that it is only captureable in Winterspring.
Check around the lake or down in frostwhisper grove in winterspring
If anyone is wondering if the Winterspring capture will count toward "Eastern Kingdoms Safari" Achievement (since WS is in Kalimdor) I can confirm it *will* count. :)
Caught one on the upper rim of Frostwhisper Gorge as a 3rd position. Little bugger was a bit tricky to catch as he kept healing just a bit before I could throw the trap or after just missing. Be versatile with this one. It wasn't hard but I didn't want to squash it. Now to find a rare :P
Found right at Frostwind Gorge, all the way south in Winterspring.
Found mine as an add on an alpine chipmunk in the north end of Winterspring.
I was just able to find one twice in battles with an alpine chipmunk in Winterspring. If it doesn't join the battle as one of the other pets, then you can forfeit and start another battle until it appears. If it matters, the chipmunks I fought were southeast of Everlook.
After a thorough search in Dun Morogh (including a short, but extremely painful anti-air attack from some gnomes), I couldn't find any trace of these there. I'm guessing it's outdated data from an old quest I seem to remember, in the Dwarf starting zone where there was a cave with them.
I can't find any in Dun Morogh. I checked the map on Wowhead and, while I didn't take time to click every single beast icon, every one I did click was a snow cub. Are they just that hard to find?
Where in Dun Morogh are these? I don't remember seeing them anywhere.

Building a model to forecast the condition of the financial system is daunting in and of itself. Before a condition can be forecast, it must be measured. And even before it can be measured, it must be defined. In developing SAFE as a robust tool for supervisors, we needed to take a fundamental step by first defining what systemic risk actually is and then creating a measurement of it.
The key to defining the slippery concept of systemic risk depends on the ability to recognize when stress in the financial market reaches critical levels. While there is no magic threshold, it's fair to say that the probability of systemically risky financial conditions rises when financial stress measures become elevated. Stress may be observed in the movements of various financial market components, including swings in the stock market or the rates of interest required to issue debt.
That's where the financial stress index comes in. With this index, supervisors are better able to pinpoint when levels of financial market stress have reached worrisome levels. It's much like the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the S&P 500, which are designed to measure the level and activity of the equity markets. Each index consists of a unique set of components that are combined using related index construction methods. Interestingly, prior to 2007, a public financial stress index for U.S. financial markets did not exist. Since then, several have been developed, each with its own unique elements and methods.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland has developed its own financial stress index for use with its SAFE early warning system. The Cleveland Financial Stress Index (CFSI) is a continuous index constructed of daily public market data. These data are collected from four sectors of the financial markets: credit markets, foreign exchange markets, equity markets, and interbank markets, providing broad coverage of elements that may be indicators of financial stress.
For example, components from credit markets include various interest-rate spreads associated with debt instruments such as bonds. These spreads indicate perceived risk in these instruments, and point to potential stress in the markets. When the spread on a typical corporate bond is large, for example, it suggests that investors have grown wary of the borrower's ability to stay current. Various components from the equity markets represent volatility and, therefore, the degree of stress in those markets. In total, 11 different components derived from these four markets are combined into a single index that represents relative stress in the financial markets.
Using historical data, figure 1 depicts the CFSI and its measurement of stress in the financial system since 1994. Also included are indications of periods of financial stress events. Notice that the index began to spike even before the events in 2008 made clear the depth of the financial crisis.
Figure 2 shows the movements of specific components within the FSI, providing insight into the amount of stress that the four distinct markets of the component inputs contributed to the overall index. As the figure shows, the component from the foreign exchange market contributed substantially less to overall financial stress than did the other markets. Measures from the credit, interbank, and equity markets indicate significant levels of stress from each, contributing to the overall financial stress of the recent crisis.
The CFSI is not designed to predict, but rather to reflect, current relative levels of systemic financial stress. It is what's known as a coincident indicator. That said, its use of daily data—rather than less-frequent data, such as weekly or monthly input—provides earlier indications of the existence of stress in the financial markets. Used in tandem with our SAFE early warning system, the CFSI acts as a robust measure of stress in the financial markets. In addition, the design of the index and its use of components from four distinct financial markets allow for identification of the origin of the stress. To supervisors charged with alleviating systemic risk, this is useful information indeed.
