Insiders getting out in October
So far this month, insider selling is averaging $178 million worth of transactions per day, according to TrimTabs.
By Michael Baron, TheStreet
October has seen plenty of insiders selling and very few buying, according to data from research firm TrimTabs, which tracks asset flows and market liquidity.
So far this month, insider selling is averaging $178 million worth of transactions per day, the firm said. That's more than double September's daily average of $76 million. Meanwhile, insider buying has been almost nonexistent, TrimTabs notes, coming in at just $8 million per day, less than a third of the year-to-date average of $30 million.
"As the S&P 500 has climbed 12.6% from its closing low on October 3, insider activity has turned extremely bearish," the firm said.
Those numbers result in an insider sell-buy ratio of 21.5 for October, up significantly from ratios of 2.4 in August and 3.1 in September, and the highest level seen since February.
TrimTabs said the sectors seeing the most insider sales this month are consumer discretionary at $1 billion, health care at $451 million and information technology at $204 million. Month to date, selling is still below $3 billion, but the activity has already exceeded September's total. From a dollar value standpoint, insider selling for 2011 peaked in March, when it exceeded $13 billion.

Among the companies seeing insider sales this month have been Apple (AAPL), Ciena (CIEN), Crocs (CROX), CBS (CBS), Ann (ANN), Leapfrog Enterprises (LF), and SanDisk (SNDK), to name just a few.
In a Form 4 filed on Oct. 20, Jeffrey Williams, a senior vice president at Apple, details the sale of 10,000 shares received on Oct. 18 after the vesting of restricted stock units. Williams sold 4,668 shares on Oct. 18 at the stock's closing price of $422.24, then sold the remainder on Oct. 19 at prices ranging from $399.55 to $407.86. Williams still owned 213 Apple shares after the transactions, according to the filing.
On Oct. 17, Stephen Alexander, a senior vice president and chief technology officer at Ciena, sold 3,500 shares at $12.22 each. Alexander still owns more than 225,000 Ciena shares, according to the filing.
A well-timed sale was executed by Daniel Hart, the executive vice president at Crocs, as part of regular options vesting and stock sale activity. Hart exercised an option to acquire 4,167 Crocs shares at $3.99 each on Oct. 17 and sold the same amount of stock the same day for $26.93 per share.
After the market close that day, Crocs issued a surprise warning for its third-quarter results, sending the stock down more than $10 on Oct. 18 to close at $16.15. Hart's sale, though, was in keeping with past practices, as he has been executing similar monthly transactions of varying sizes for more than a year. Hart also still beneficially owns more than 100,000 Crocs shares, so he's taken a hit as well.
Moonves, the president and CEO of CBS Corp., has also engaged in regular options and stock sale activity this month. Moonves acquired 300,000 shares of CBS Class B common shares at $13.09 each on Oct. 17 through the exercise of employee stock options and then sold the same amount for $22.96 each. He still has significant direct and indirect holdings in CBS and was selling stock under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted in March and then amended in August.
Katherine Lawther, the president and CEO of upscale women's clothing retailer Ann Inc., reported the divestment of 15,000 shares on Oct. 20, selling 13,200 shares at $25.39 each and 1,800 shares at $26.09 each. The sales were made as part of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by Lawther, who still owns more than 385,000 Ann shares after the transactions.
LeapFrog Enterprises, meanwhile, has seen more of the same this month with continued regular selling by an entity controlled by Oracle (ORCL) CEO Larry Ellison. On Oct. 21, Mollusk Holdings, which controls more than 10% of Leapfrog's outstanding stock, announced the sale of 30,000 shares at $3.52 each. The sale is one of eight same-size transactions this month alone, and similar transactions have been occurring all year as part of a regular trading plan filed with the SEC. Mollusk Holdings still owns nearly 1.5 million Leapfrog shares, according to the filing.
A big sale earlier in the month came from SanDisk CEO and president Sanjay Mehrotra. On Oct. 10, Mehrotra disclosed the sale of 20,000 shares after the exercise of stock options. Mehrotra bought the shares for $34.59 each and sold 19,900 shares at $44.88 each and 100 shares at $45 each. Mehrotra has indirect ownership of 35,392 SanDisk shares through a family trust.
Let's see if they censor me this time.
The market is way up again, it's time to bailout. Put it to the fat cats, take your money and run like hell. Buy back in after the crash, you know it coming. They've been doing it to you, now it's your turn.
As part of the 99% I've had to pay for all the bailouts. The movement is tired of not being represented by anyone in Washington and having to pay for everything. Now it's our turn to put it to them.
the rats are jumping from the ship!
So far this month, insider selling is averaging $178 million worth of transactions per day, the firm said. That's more than double September's daily average of $76 million. Meanwhile, insider buying has been almost nonexistent, TrimTabs notes, coming in at just $8 million per day, less than a third of the year-to-date average of $30 million.
I am reading Galbraith's The Great Crash and the stock market is acting the same way as it did in 1929. Insiders were bailing out during September and October of 1929 while the weakness in the real economy had shown up almost a year before the market crashed.
Nothing like history repeating again, instead of Trusts we have Mutual Funds, the Fed has kept interest rates low for borrowing and speculation, housing is in the tank and so is farming.
I wonder if anyone is seeing the same thing? Could it all happen all over again?
PS. The names of the individuals in 1929 are different today but some of the big firms are still the same.

Customer Comments
FragranceX.com offers on-line shoppers almost everything that they could want - in this category. I found the perfume that I wanted @ a price [including shipping] that was far below the local price for the same product. Shipping was as promised - I had the product in the 2-5 day shipping window promised. With companies like this, I won't be shopping locally for these types of products anytime soon.

Who praised this stuff? On my skin, there is an initial burst of lemon followed by a tobacco and grassy smell. This stuff lingers on your skin for hours.. smelling like hot garbage/bug spray. I am 42 years old and would not recommend this one to my worst enemy, because the fragrance would assault the community. Shoot this old horse of a cologne... Don't believe the hype. Rub citronella or bug spray on yourself and you have this fragrance at its best.

(Sports Network) - Cory Schneider will get his second straight start in goal and Daniel Sedin - who is still a 'game-time decision' - says he's good to go as the Vancouver Canucks look to stave postseason elimination in Game 4 of their Western Conference quarter-final against the Los Angeles Kings tonight.
Vancouver, which lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals to Boston last spring, is on the verge of becoming the sixth Presidents' Trophy winner to be eliminated in the first round, joining the 1990-91 Chicago Blackhawks, 1999-2000 St. Louis Blues, 2005-06 Detroit Red Wings, 2008-09 San Jose Sharks and 2009-10 Washington Capitals.
The Canucks hope the return of Daniel Sedin can help them avoid the sweep tonight. Sedin, who led Vancouver with 30 goals, hasn't played since suffering a concussion on March 21, but told reporters this afternoon that he expects to play. He joined the team in Los Angeles for practice on Tuesday.
Schneider made his second career start in the playoffs on Sunday in place of benched No. 1 Roberto Luongo and stopped 19- of-20 shots.
Luongo started 55 games during the regular season, but surrendered seven goals on 64 shots through the first two games of this series before being replaced for Game 3.
The Canucks haven't been swept in a best-of-seven series since losing to Colorado in the opening round of the 2001 playoffs.
Los Angeles and Vancouver have met four times in the postseason, with the Canucks winning the previous encounter in the 2010 conference quarterfinals. The Kings had won the previous two series (1991 and 1993) after the Canucks began this matchup's history with a five-game victory in a 1982 meeting.
Meanwhile, the Kings, who are trying to become the 10th No. 8 seed to upset a No. 1 since the current playoff format began in 1994, grabbed a 3-0 edge in the series thanks to a stout performance by goaltender Jonathan Quick on Sunday.
Quick stopped 41 shots to record his second career postseason shutout and help the Kings gain a stranglehold in the series with a 1-0 win over the visiting Canucks. Quick led the NHL with 10 shutouts during the regular season and has stopped 111-of-115 shots for a stellar .965 save percentage so far in this series.
"A great performance by their goaltender," Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault said. "Give them credit, they're up and we're in a tough position right now. We know what's at stake. We have to regroup and get ready for Wednesday."
Los Angeles captain Dustin Brown netted the game's lone goal for the Kings, who will try to use home ice tonight to record their first playoff series win since 2001. LA entered this postseason with four straight series losses since beating Detroit in the first round in '01.
Brown was able to break the scoreless tie at the 6:30 mark of the third period when Justin Williams' shot from the right circle was stopped by Schneider, but the big rebound kicked out to Brown in the left circle and he fired the puck into the open net.
"It was just one of those plays. I got knocked down and when I got up I just happened to be behind the defense," Brown said about his goal. "We worked hard and found a way to be up 3-0."
Brown is leading LA in this series with four goals -- the same amount Vancouver has scored in the first three games combined.

Take a Ride on the Wild Side
Dan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
How do you feel about wings, beer, and sports? If you enjoy watching a game with friends, you might think it sounds heavenly. Even if this type of environment doesn't interest you, think about the appeal it has for millions of Americans.
High demand
Of course, you can find this combination in many places, but Buffalo Wild Wings (NASDAQ: BWLD) offers higher quality, a better presentation, and a superb atmosphere. In regards to the latter, you're going to find at least 30 flat-screen televisions in each restaurant. And sporting events will always be on.
Buffalo Wild Wings has nailed its business model so that its restaurants are constantly packed. According to employees on Glassdoor.com, some employees feel as though management is unable to keep up with traffic and that the restaurants need to be redesigned to fit more people. The point is that demand is extremely high. While some employees think the company is growing too fast, it should be noted that CEO Sally J. Smith has received an 84% approval rating.
Something for everyone
While Buffalo Wild Wings is best known for attracting sports fans, management has been wise to target the local crowd. For instance, if a Buffalo Wild Wings is located in an area with more families than singles, then it will market that restaurant more to that crowd.
Buffalo Wild Wings offers more than just wings, including burgers, sandwiches, a kids menu, salads, and desserts. For those who are most interested in the wings, Buffalo Wild Wings offers 16 signature sauces and five seasonings. This is important, because it keeps a regular visitor's experiences fresh. Offering 16 signature sauces and five different seasonings is a form of innovation in itself. The best part about this is that Buffalo Wild Wings can offer different types of meals while keeping costs low.
Speaking of keeping costs low, Buffalo Wild Wings has enjoyed a decline in chicken prices. In the first quarter, chicken costs declined 7.9% year-over-year. Better yet, chicken costs are expected to continue to decline. This will lead to stronger margins, which then lead to bigger profits, and the likelihood of stock appreciation.
Of course, Buffalo Wild Wings must meet or beat expectations for a short-term spike, but "short-term" is the key phrase when it comes to quarterly expectations. If you're looking at the longer term picture, then you shouldn't care too much about quarterly results.
If you want to look at revenue and earnings trends, look at annual results. In this case, you will see that Buffalo Wild Wings has seen consistent revenue and earnings improvements. What really stands out is that revenue growth increased in 2012, which is extremely rare compared to other companies throughout the broader market -- not just in casual dining.
Buffalo Wild Wings will see some increased costs due to its expansion plans, however, adding more units should increase top-line growth. But based on the company's performance, the expansion plans seem to make sense. At the moment, Buffalo Wild Wings would like to go from 891 units to 1,500 over the next five years. It would also like to grow internationally.
Buffalo Wild Wings vs. bigger players
Buffalo Wild Wings seems to have everything going for it. Growth is strong, profits are commonplace, margins are likely to improve, and even debt management has been excellent. If you're really looking for a negative, then it could either be that the company doesn't pay a dividend (actually a good decision based on limited cash on balance sheet) or that Buffalo Wild Wings is trading at 34 times earnings, which is expensive.
If you're looking for a cheaper and more diversified investment, then you might want to consider Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM). Yum! Brands is well known for its Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut restaurants. It's now recovering from its KFC chicken quality debacle and the Avian flu impact on China. It's currently trading at 23 times earnings, and it yields 1.90%. Being widely diversified in regards to brands and geography, Yum! Brands should continue to grow.
McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) recently missed expectations. More importantly, it warned of a slow second half as Europe and Asia-Pacific had a lot to do with the company's subpar performance. Unfortunately, menu innovation hasn't been enough to stave off increased competition. On the other hand, McDonald's has always had a knack for finding ways to steal back market share. There's no guarantee that the company can pull it off, but considering it owns one of the most recognizable brands in the world, advantage McDonald's.
On an annual basis, McDonald's has seen revenue improvements over the past three years, and earnings have been steady. If the stock gets hammered, then McDonald's may attempt to stop the bleeding by returning more cash to shareholders.
McDonald's currently yields 3.10%. Despite a recent downturn, McDonald's should remain one of the most resilient stocks in the restaurant space.
If you're looking for slow and steady growth, consider Yum! Brands. If you want resiliency and generous dividend payments, look at McDonald's. And if you're on the hunt for one of the fastest growing casual-dining restaurants in the world, then Buffalo Wild Wings should be on your radar.
Many analysts have recently stated that good news is already priced into the stock. If this concerns you, or if you're concerned about the broader market in general, then you might want to buy a little now and save capital to add to your position on future dips.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - A Flandreau man was arrested yesterday morning for throwing rocks at cars near East Presentation Street and North Fourth Avenue in north central Sioux Falls.
Officer Sam Clemens says 23-year-old Levi Eagle Feather III is charged with intentional damage to property, obstruction and resisting arrest.
Clemens says one car had been dented and another had a side window that was shattered. He says damage is estimated at $250 for each car.
When officers went to arrest Eagle Feather he struggled with them, but they managed to get him to the jail.
No word on why he was throwing rocks at cars.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Brianna Kulas scored 24 points and gathered 13 rebounds to lead Missouri in a mild upset of No. 25 Georgia 66-56 on Thursday night.
The teams had the same number of field goals for the game, but Missouri (13-3, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) hit two more 3-pointers and eight more free throws than Georgia (12-4, 0-3).
Kayla McDowell added 13 points for the Tigers, as they rebounded from a loss to Arkansas earlier in the week.
Georgia was led by Khaalidah Miller's 12 points, while Krista Donald added 11. The Lady Bulldogs have lost three in a row and four of their last five.
Georgia led by as many as 10 in the first half, but Missouri rallied to trail by just two at the intermission as Lindsey Cunningham had a pair of buckets in the last 49 seconds of the frame. Missouri then outscored Georgia 33-21 in the second half.

LANSING (WKZO) -- The 2014 Michigan gubernatorial race looks to be a financial mismatch with the advantage going to incumbent Governor Rick Snyder.
On Tuesday, it was confirmed that Snyder was purchasing TV ad time during the Super Bowl, while Democratic challenger Mark Schauer confirmed he is seeking public funding to help finance his campaign. Records show that Snyder purchased 400-thousand dollars worth of TV air time during the Super Bowl with a Detroit television station and 18-thousand dollars worth of ad time on a Lansing station.
Schauer has yet to appear on statewide TV or book air time in a major market.

My life's goal was to be a mom. So, I became a registered nurse in order to be able to provide for my future kids. Boy, oh, boy, and lots of girls -- were my prayers ever answered! By the age of 29, I was a mom to eight (count them!) healthy beautiful kids.
Since then life has gone in all sorts of crazy directions, including a hit reality show on TLC that ran for six seasons, three New York Times best-selling books, and single mom-hood!
Since having kids, my goal in life is to be the best mom I can possibly be ... and to simply and successfully survive each day!
Coffee with fat free creamer ... and LOTS of it!
also find Kate here:
Recently, a very close family friend turned 18. It was a long awaited day and a big milestone for her. I've known her parents since I was 18, so she and her family are practically an extended part of our family. She looks up to me like a big sister and is very wise beyond her young years. We often have deep adult discussions. She's such a joy to have around.
I made a new -- and very unlikely -- friend recently.
Her name is Kisa (often called Kisa Lu) and she's grey and speckly spotted and has floppy ears. She's taller than I am when she stands on her back legs (which she doesn't often do) because she is a Great Dane.
She belongs to a good friend of mine who was very worried about how she and I would get along when I visited recently.
This is me in March 2004 at just 20 weeks pregnant with sextuplets!If you are a mom, I'm betting you "live tired." The way I see it, it's as if pregnancy is nature's way of preparing us for our new way of living a "tired life" -- which quickly becomes our new normal -- for the next 18 years or so. I can only speak for myself and what I know about being pregnant twice ... and having given birth to eight kids. (I still smile when I say -- or write -- that by the way. It still seems to defy logic, but it's my reality and I love it.)
I chalked one up for my mom memory books the other day. But it's one I kinda wish I didn't have to record. Since "all's well that ends well," as the adage goes, I am sure I will go on unscarred, because it did end well. Still, I'm sure I'll be the laughing stock of my girls and their friends for the immediate future, at the very least.
As the school year winds down, I am finding that it's not just the kids who are insanely excited for the final day of school -- and for the many long hot days of summer that will soon follow. But the kids do take year-end very seriously. It seems like all kids keep a countdown, and in our house, my kids not only keep a verbal countdown that is discussed every hour on the hour, at the table during every meal, on the way TO and FROM the bus stop each day, but they also keep a written version of the countdown on a paper calendar. I can only assume that is meant as a "double check" to break up any sort of sibling end-of-school-year-countdown discrepancies. Oh, and they also mention it as their final thought each night as I tuck them into bed -- because I may have forgotten how few days of school are now left, don't you know.

GlossaryAsynchronous Learning Learning that occurs anytime and anywhere.
AVI (Audio/video interleave)AVI is the file format used by Video for Windows, one of three major video technologies used on PCs. (The others are MPEG and QuickTime.) In AVI, picture and sound elements are stored in alternate interleaved chunks in the file.
Bandwidth How much data you can send through a connection i.e., a data pipeline. The higher the bandwidth, the faster data can flow. Usually measured in bits-per-second. Full-motion full-screen video would require roughly 10,000,000 bits-per-second, depending on compression.
Browser A client software program used to search networks, retrieve copies of files and display them in an easy-to-read, often graphical, format. Example of browsers used to access information on the World Wide Web (Web) are Netscape and Internet Explorer.
CD-ROM (Compact Disk - Read Only Memory)CD's are mastered and then can only be read; i.e., the data cannot be manipulated or removed.
Cookie A ?Cookie? on the Internet refers to a piece of information sent by a Web Server to a Web Browser that the Browser software is expected to save and to send back to the Server whenever the browser makes additional requests from the Server. Cookies are usually set to expire after a predetermined amount of time and are usually saved in memory until the Browser software is closed down.
Computer A device or system that is capable of carrying out a sequence of operations in defined manner. The operations are frequently numeric computations or data manipulations, but also include data input and output.
Cyberspace A term coined by author William Gibson. It describes the imaginary space in which computer users travel when "surfing" the Internet. It's a nebulous "place" where humans interact over computer networks (the Internet is considered Cyberspace).
Cyber ForumA forum on a Web site for the discussion of a specific topic or set of related topics.
Distance Learning (or Distance Education)is an instructional delivery system that does not constrain the student to be physically present in the same location as the instructor. Distance Education is a prepared teaching/learning experience that uses a variety of technologies that are designed to encourage learner interaction and augment learning opportunities.
Download To transfer information stored in a remote computer to your (local) microcomputer, usually from a server to a client. You download a file from another computer to yours.
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc)Once referred to as digital video discs, these high-capacity optical discs are now used to store everything from massive computer applications to full-length movies. They are very similar in size and appearance to a CD-ROM. However, a CD-ROM stores 650MB of storage, whereas, a standard single-layer, single-sided DVD can store 4.7GB of data. DVD also has a two-layer standard that boosts the single-sided capacity to 8.5GB and double-sided, it can store up to a maximum 17GB on a single disc. Unfortunately, to use DVDs, you'll have to buy a DVD drive, but that new hardware will also read your older CD-ROMs and audio CDs.
E-mail (Electronic Mail)Messages, usually text, sent from one person to another via computer. E-mail can also be sent automatically to a large number of addresses.
Emoticons are used to convey emotion. The expressions and inflections of voice we use to convey emotion, irony, sarcasm, etc. A system of symbols has developed which uses common keyboard marks. (For example, :) is smiling)
Fire WallA combination of hardware and software that separates a Local Area Network (LAN) into many parts for security purposes.
Floppy DiskA removable storage medium that is used in conjunction with a floppy drive, 3.5-inch in size.
Gigabyte (GB)A measure storage space, technically 1024 Megabytes. Hard Drives now are measured in GB capacity.
Hard DriveA storage medium located within a computer where a computer's operating system, applications, and data usually reside.
Home PageThe opening page of a World Wide Web site.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) This is an acronym for HyperText Mark-up Language which is used to format information so that it can be structured and made accessible to the World Wide Web (WWW). The language itself is a simplified derivative of SGML, a widely used standard developed in the mid 1980's. The technique employed is to encase the information in special markers (called tags) which tell the WWW applications how the text is to be interpreted.
Internet A vast collection of interconnected networks that all use the TCP/IP protocols (evolved the late 60?s and early 70?s). The Internet is a global collection of computer networks interconnected with computer networks linked around the world. The Internet has two major meanings - First, the whole constellation of resources that can be accessed using Gopher, FTP, HTTP, telnet, USENET, WAIS and some other tools. Second, the universe of hypertext servers (HTTP servers) which are the servers that allow text, graphics, sound files, etc. to be mixed together.
ISP (Internet Service Provider)A company or an institution that provides access to the Internet in some form, usually for a monthly fee.
Java Java is a network-oriented programming language invented by Sun Microsystems. Java is designed for writing computer programs that can be safely downloaded to your computer through the Internet. Smaller Java programs (called "Applets"), can include functions such as animation's that can be added to a Web page.
Kilobyte A thousand bytes, technically 1024 bytes.
Login The account name used to gain access to a computer system.
Lurking Reading chat, forum, or newsgroups messages and not responding to them.
Macintosh (MAC)a type of personal computer, manufactured by Apple Computer, and it is not a PC. Megabyte A million bytes technically, 1024 kilobytes.
MPEG (pronounced M-peg)MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group. MPEG is the name given to a set of standards used for coding audiovisual information (i.e., movies, music, and video) in a digital compressed format. The major advantage of MPEG compared to other video and audio coding formats is that MPEG files are much smaller for the same quality. Current standards that exist include, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-3, and MPEG4.
MOV -- To view a file with the .mov extension, you need QuickTime multimedia technology to run it. MOV files can be movie clips, such as Video for Windows' AVI files, or still images, such as GIFs.
Netiquette is an etiquette for the Web. It can be summed up as, "Be polite and don't waste computer resources."
Newbie A person who is new to the Internet.
Online You are online if you are working on your computer and are connected through a phone line (modem), cable access (cable modem), or through a satellite (dish).
Operating SystemSoftware that controls the link between the user and the hardware. Popular operating systems include: Windows 95, 2000, ME, MacOS X, UNIX, and OS/2.
PC (Personal Computer)Usually refers to what 's commonly known as an IBM-compatible computer, made by dozens of manufacturers. Some examples include Gateway, Dell, and HP.

Synchronous Learning -- Learning that occurs at specific times. Often referred to as "Real-Time."
T-1 A leased-line connection capable of carrying data at at high speeds. A T-1 is still not fast enough for full-screen, full-motion video. To do so, you would need at least 4 to 5 times the speed of one T-1 line.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)This is the suite of protocols that defines the Internet. Originally designed for the UNIX operating system, TCP/IP software is now available for every major kind of computer operating system.
Threaded DiscussionsA thread is a more or less a continuous chain of postings on a single topic within a disucssion forum.
URL (Uniform Resource Locator)The standard way to give the address of any resource on the Internet that is part of the World Wide Web (WWW). A registered URL looks like this: (http://www.mcc.commnet.edu)
Video ConferencingThe term Video Conferencing applies to a wide range of situations from live video lecturing to large audiences, to a point-to-point, individual-to-individual desktop PCs. Usually allows for broadcast from a central point to many different locations regardless of distance. Video conferencing is the transmission of image (video) and speech (audio) back and forth between two or more physically separate locations through the use of cameras (to capture and send video from your local endpoint), video displays (to display video received from remote endpoints), microphones (to capture and send audio from your local endpoint), and speakers (to play audio received from remote endpoints).

I'm not entirely a fan of renders, but I have to say I really enjoy this one. Perhaps a wall in the background with a window to the out doors? And the lamp doesn't look as the rest do, it stands out from the rest.

What other readers are saying about this title:
Emily Lloyd said:
The soft, fresh yellows, pinks, and especially greens of Henkes's illustrations make this book feel like a Spring morning. "Little White Rabbit hopped along. When he hopped through the high grass, he wondered what it would be like to be green...when he hopped over the rock, he wondered what it would be like not to be able to move." While you read, make sure to wonder about the same things Little Rabbit does--then go outside and wonder about the things you see as you hop along.

Google Summer of Code Ideas
Here is a list of ideas for projects that might be interesting and useful to carry out during Google Summer of Code program for Orange. Your own ideas in methods for data analytics and visualization that would complement Orange are most welcome, too!
You can find more information about our participation in Google Summer of Code here.
Ideas are listed in no particular order.
Open ideas for 2013
Porting Orange code to Python 3.0
We are (still) migrating Orange to Python 3.0 and at the same time reimplementing Orange from scratch. We are ditching the C++ and relying on numpy, scipy.sparse, scikit-learn and similar libraries, and using Cython for anything that needs to be fast but is not provided elsewhere. We are looking for help in reimplementing various parts of Orange (note that this is not about porting Orange from Python 2.X to Py3K: this is trivial and can be done in one evening - we tried it). This project requires working closely (e.g. almost daily communication) with the core team.
Required skills: Good knowledge of Orange, Python and its libraries, and Cython.
Level from 1 (beginner) to 5 (professional): 4
Possible mentors: Janez, Marko
Parallel model evaluation
Most techniques for model evaluation are embarrassingly parallel: example bootstrap, cross validation, leave one out validation. Implement their parallel versions for Orange 3. Parallelization should be seamless, from the point of view of the user – script writer. This project requires working closely (e.g. almost daily communication) with the core team.
Required skills: Python, experience with multiprocessing.
Level from 1 (beginner) to 5 (professional): 4
Possible mentors: Marko
Neural Networks
Orange implements many algorithms for classification, but currently lacks support for neural network learning. The task consists of implementing neural networks (multilayer perceptron, convolutional and deep belief networks) in Python with numpy. Neural networks will be implemented as an addon to Orange.
Level from 1 (beginner) to 5 (professional): 4
Possible mentors: Jure
Useful skills: JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, AngularJS, Bootstrap, Python, Django, basic bioinformatics knowledge.
Level from 1 (beginner) to 5 (professional): 4
Possible mentors: Miha
Widgets in separate processes
Widgets in Orange Canvas currently run in a single process. As they are independent given their inputs, they could frequently work in parallel (in a data-flow manner). The objective of this task would be to modify Orange Canvas so that each widget could run in its own process.
It would be also useful to separate GUI thread from main payload computation of widgets. Currently we are using also just one thread for everything (GUI thread) and we have, while widget is working, to repeatedly callback into the GUI to make it responsive.
We would start by making a single widget able to run in its own process and then integrating it into the canvas. Afterwards, we would try to find a systematic way to branch off widgets into subprocesses with the least changes in the current code base.
Useful skills: Python programming with multiple processes and threads. Qt and PyQt experience.
Level from 1 (beginner) to 5 (professional): 5.
Possible mentors: Marko
Bioinformatics add-on
Bioinformatics add-on extends Orange both in scripting and with a set of widgets. The aim of the add-on is for biologists to easily explore various data sources and used them for integrative data mining. Present functionality includes gene set enrichment (GO, KEGG, NCBI's MeSH), gene selection, visualization of heatmaps and access to various specialized data bases (GEO, BioMart, Atlas, NCBI Gene). The library requires an update, development of unit tests for scripts, documentation for widgets, and addition of new data sources, first in scripts then in widgets.
Useful skills: Python, some knowledge on bioinformatics and related public data bases
Level from 1 (beginner) to 5 (professional): 4.
Possible mentors: Blaz

Super comfortable, this shirt is ideal for all day casual wear. Pair it with some jeans and you're set to start your day. So add this shirt to your wardrobe and enjoy it all year round.
Nebula First Layer V-Neck
Good deal but wasn't exactly how I had pictured it looking.
Bought this for a teenager - would be small on a woman - but it does say for girls - small fits her great...looks nice on.
Very good thermal, keeps you warm without extra bulk. Love the colours/design and the price can't be beat! I found them to be on the smaller side though, so unless you like your thermals skin tight, go up a size.

A driver who used marijuana and cocaine before triggering a deadly road rage crash in Naperville faces a possible 29-year prison term after being convicted Wednesday of felony DUI.
DuPage County prosecutors argued 32-year-old Michael Moreno caused the June 13 crash when he turned left through oncoming traffic while angrily chasing another car he claimed had previously cut him off.
Related: $750K bond for driver in fatal 'road rage' incident
The guilty verdict issued by Judge George Bakalis brought some relief to relatives of 63-year-old Gerald Puglise, who died when his motorcycle slammed into Moreno's Infiniti M45 sedan at Ogden Avenue and River Road.
"We're very happy with the verdict but we miss him dearly," said his son, Matt, one of about 15 friends and family members who assembled in the Wheaton courtroom for the hearing.
Puglise, a retired electrician and Vietnam veteran, wasn't involved in the initial traffic altercation with Moreno but was killed while returning to his Lombard home after meeting a friend.
"He was in the wrong place at the wrong time," Matt Puglise said.
The 5 p.m. crash happened while Moreno was chasing a car driven by a 16-year-old girl, whom he claimed had cut him off moments earlier, prosecutors said during his trial.
Both cars briefly stopped along the road and Moreno contended a passenger in that car had punched and threatened him. Moreno was following that vehicle to snap a picture of its license plate when the crash happened, defense attorney Paul DeLuca had argued.
Tests also indicated Gerald Puglise had alcohol and a prescription painkiller in his body when the collision occurred, DeLuca noted, though prosecutors contended his actions played no role in the crash.
Bakalis in his ruling convicted Moreno of felony DUI, as well as leaving the scene of a fatal crash, obstruction of justice and possession of cannabis.
Puglise's relatives said they want the Plainfield man sent to prison.

FAIRBURN — Authorities say an 8-year-old boy was shot in the back while he slept in his bed south of Atlanta.
Fulton County police Sgt. Scott McBride says that a gunman fired multiple shots into the boy's home around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Police say the boy was asleep in his upstairs bedroom in the south Fulton County home when he was hit. He was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, where his condition was not known early Wednesday.
McBride says the boy's mother and four other adults and children were inside the house at the time. No one else was struck by the gunfire.

Lip Enhancement (Lip Augmentation)
Lip Augmentation / Lip Enhancement is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure which uses synthetic or biological products to enhance or augment the lips. The doctor can use a variety of products to achieve lip enhancement including Restylane. Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, David P. Rapaport, MD has been offering lip enhancement as his Manhattan, New York office for over a decade.
Doctor Rapaport understands that the greatest fear of patients seeking lip enhancement is an overdone, unnatural result. He reassures his patients that he too finds such a look unacceptable. His results appear natural and not overdone.
The Manhattan, New York Board Certified Plastic Surgeon is widely sought out by models, actors, and of course women of all occupations for his beautiful yet natural lip augmentation (lip enhancement) results.
Who is a candidate for lip enhancement?
- If you desire to have fuller or more defined lips
- Males and females are both candidates for this procedure
Where would my lip augmentation procedure be performed? Your lip augmentation / lip enhancement procedure is a fast out-patient procedure which would be performed in the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon's Manhattan, New York surgical suite.
Is anesthesia used during lip augmentation cosmetic procedure? Yes, your lips will be numbed so you will not feel a thing. Usually, a topical anesthetic is used, as well as lidocaine, to numb the lips.
How is the actual procedure performed? For lip augmentation the doctor uses injectables like Restylane. The lips are injected with a needle into the treated area.
Is lip augmentation or laugh line correction a painful procedure? Some minor discomfort, stinging or throbbing can occur. Restylane procedures, on the other hand, are generally associated with minimal discomfort, because Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, David P. Rapaport, MD, numbs the areas beforehand,
How much time will I need to take off from work after lip augmentation? Patients can typically return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
What is the intended result from having lip augmentation?
- The intention is to give you the fuller lips you desire
- For some patients with very thin lips, the goal may be to have a more normal and facially balanced appearance
- For some patients, very thick and sexy lips are the goal
- Some patients desire a defined edge to the lip or a return to their less aged lip
If you have questions concerning lip augmentation (lips enhancement), or would like to schedule a consultation with the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, please phone David P. Rapaport's Manhattan, New York Plastic Surgery office at 212.249.9955 or email the doctor at email@example.com.

LeAnn Rimes: Out of Rehab!by Free Britney at . Comments
LeAnn Rimes is out of rehab and ready to turn over a new leaf.
Late last month, the country singer wrapped up a 30-day stint at a rehab facility to deal with stress and anxiety issues brought on by relentless cyber-bullying.
She says she enjoyed her time away, but is glad to be back.
"I've been in therapy my whole life," she said. "I like going. I like being able to have that third-party input and someone to listen that has nothing to do with your life."
The wife of Eddie Cibrian added, "Everyone has an opinion of how I am and how I should be, and now I'm focusing on how I want to be."
"I think it's really hard to deal with [social media]. And it's hard to take it day after day of reading and seeing things that someone you don't even know says about you."
"As much as you said you don't want it to penetrate, it does, because you're human."
Hopefully, she's a happier and healthier human now than 30 days ago.
[Photo: WENN.com]
The story is already wrong. 30 days? Wasn't it just 2 weeks? Why does everyone keep copying and pasting the same story from Boston Herald without fact checking? Leann had to approve this story, don't you think it's strange that she would allow them to post that she was in rehab for 30 days when she was only there for 2 weeks? How come Leann doesn't know how long she was in rehab? Because she was never in rehab, she duped everyone.
I pray every day that LeAnn is doing well and that she is able to shake the dust from her feet when dealing with those who do nothing but put down her every move. (bowing my head) God bless you and her always!!! Holly in East Tennessee (a day one fan of LeAnn)

August 19, 2013, 8:38 PM —
Please provide advice. I want to work in the computer industry. Should I get a computer oriented college degree or my Cisco certification?
Over the past month or so I have received a number of questions on this topic. Interestingly, most of these questions referred to Cisco based certifications versus undergraduate college degrees in computer science. Thank you to all those who wrote to me with this question.
If you currently have neither a college degree nor a professional certification, such as one of the Cisco certifications, both would be of professional advantage to you in different ways and for different reasons. As a result, the one you should work on first is based upon your personal and financial ability to go to school full time for a four year Bachelor of Science (BS) degree.
If your answer is yes and you have the opportunity to do a full time four year degree program, then I would suggest going to college for a BS in Computer Science first. Not only will you learn an enormous amount on a wide range of technical topics, it will also give you a permanent credential that can increase your life-long earning power. Additionally, don't underestimate the great benefits of being immersed in a full time academic environment in regard to:
• The non-technical topics in your curriculum will broaden you as a person by providing insights into topics outside of your chosen professional vocation
• The people you will meet that will ultimately become professional contacts
• The wide range of personal and professional opinions and outlooks you will observe
• The power of having your university's alumni as potential employers and mentors
• Having a little fun in the process
In effect, the full time academic experience grows you as a person, increases your worldliness, and helps prepare you for both work and life in general. Then, with your degree in hand, and hopefully a job upon graduation, getting a technical certification early in your career will help you gain and illustrate specific technical proficiency. This proficiency, in turn, can help you move up more quickly within the technical ranks.
If your answer to my earlier question regarding your ability to attend college full time is no, then I suggest getting the certification first and then attending night school on a part time basis for your degree.
The reason for this rationale is that the certification will take less time and less money to achieve and as a result, you will have a marketable professional credential much sooner. Then, use your newly gained skills and credential to get the type of job that will start you on your professional technical journey.

"Levchuk does a remarkable job of writing a novel that deftly balances the facts on the pages with the unspoken emotion underneath."—Starred, Booklist
"An . . . ultimately rewarding read by a debut author who is going places." —Kirkus Reviews
"Debut author Levchuk creates a distinctive and memorable voice for Edna—her hidden concerns and her secrets come to make emotional sense for readers as Edna begins to understand and move past them, while her wit and wry candor hint at a reserve of deep, even flinty optimism." —STARRED, Publishers Weekly
"Edna's narrative is fascinating. She is funny and scathing, naïve and complicated, and her confessions are frequently surprising for their unadulterated frankness. Her voice is so engrossing that the book is difficult to put down." —VOYA
"Sharp, edgy, and amazingly funny. Best first novel I've read in years." —Anita Shreve, author of The Pilot's Wife and Fortune's Rocks
"This heartbreaking coming-of-age novel tells the story of life as an adolescent and the tough choices that come along with it. Powerful and engaging, Edna struggles to learn about herself, love, moving on, and what it means to be scared of the unknown."—ALAN Online Picks
"I found Everything Beautiful in The World to be everything a book should be: heartbreaking, funny, brave, and unforgettable. I was enthralled with Edna, her confessions, and her bravado. To create a character who is all at once flawed, defiant, remorseful, utterly sympathetic, and wryly profound is a breathtaking literary feat." —Elinor Lipman, author of The Inn At Lake Devine and Then She Found Me
"This is a vivid picture of a girl who's floating through life out of fear of what she'll find if she stops." —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"This is a book that shows you that even bad things turn out beautiful in the end."— A YALSA YA Galley Teen Reader

It's called AB 109, the two-year-old California law designed to reduce prison overcrowding, cut the costs of incarceration and pump-up inmate rehabilitation. As far as reducing overcrowding, the law has been successful. The state's prison population has been reduced by 40%. But some law enforcement officers believe the law is flawed and it has lead to more problems than it has solved. Some of those ex-cons that are then released to the street, according to some concerned senior officers, are now committing more crimes, sending them back to jail at an alarming rate.
Under AB 109, 500 state crimes have been re-classified as non-prison cases and non-violent, low-level felons are being released to county jails or rehab programs instead of remaining in prison. There is no parole for these inmates; when they are released they are released to the supervision of county probation officers. Following up on the more than 8,200 probationers released thus far is a daunting task. 12 South Bay communities now have formed a task force to help county probation officers keep tabs on the released prisoners. According to L. A. County probation officials, the whereabouts of nearly 2,000 high-risk probationers with warrants for their arrests – close to 20% -- are unknown.
It's clear the reviews are mixed, even from people who make a living studying corrections issues in California. Dr. Joan Petersilla, in a recently-released study "Realignment in Review", calls California a "high-stakes test kitchen" She says "broadly speaking… our interviews elicited a portrait of counties struggling, often heroically, to carry out an initiative that was poorly planned and imposed upon them almost overnight, giving them little time to prepare." Still she says, there are some at the county level who believe there could be a long-term impact if the rehabilitation programs are given time to work.

I thought of paranoia in a symbolic manner in this illustration. In my process I thought about the definition of paranoia. It involves irrational thoughts caused by fear, anxiety, insecurities and miscommunication. The paranoia is created by the person. And exerted onto the world. The feedback of this action is that the person then thinks of all the possible and different ways that a decision goes. Choices are elements that build up, the more one thinks of the choice, the more doors it opens, leading them to think about all the other possibilities caused from one possibilities. Paranoia is the very negative aspect of this idea. Every choice or decision running through the mind leads one to think of all the negative outcome that could possibly happen. The victim of this state of mind can get so involved in this process, that they jump to the most ridiculous notions ever. Such as thinking the entire world could be against them. Through my process I thought about cause and effect. I drew a circle that represents the mind, and arrows pointing away and towards the mind. The paranoid thoughts exerted into the environment all lead back to the person. Essentially all fears, misinterpretations, prejudices and insecurities projected onto the world come back with a violent force. Unfortunately its all in the head. It leads the person to doubt his surroundings and have an overall sense of distrust towards his peers. I wished to be as unorthodox as possible with this illustration. I enjoy painting old Angkor and Mayan sculptures, in this case the stone sculpture represents the mind. Its "set in stone" in its views and is exerting fear and disgust towards the environment. The Spanish conquistadors represent the delusions and fears of the stone faces, out to destroy and ruin the sculpture.

One of the online viagra scam big issues with wind power is how to make it reliable. We can put farms in areas notorious for windiness, but even if we do this, how do www.grantontrailers.com we know how much electricity we'll be able to get from it each day? How on earth can we plan ahead to use something that is iconic for being unreliable and cialis com shifting?
{digg}http://digg.com/environment/New_Software_Predicts_Wind_4_Days_Ahead{/digg}Researchers in
The software pulls together information from a variety of weater models from different sources, combines them with topographical information about local terrains that affect a farm's output and a wind farm's particulars (which, I assume, takes into account the types of turbines being used along with other factors) and makes a final calculation that can be relied upon up to four days in advance, and with a time resolution of up to 15 minutes for any German – or European, for that matter – location.
One thing that sets this software apart from some others is that it also provides the margin of http://www.aagon.de/pfizer-levitra-uk error, which is an important little figure to only now generic form of levitra throw in to planning. The system can predict as far as 10 days in advance, but with much less reliability than the 4 day calculations.
Should the software prove as awesome as it seems to be, it could be a big boon for

Olay Ultra Moisture In-Shower Body Lotion Reviews
So-So.This is a good product, I just find it personaly useless. I had to put lotion on after I showered as well, so why use the "in shower lotion" on top of my existing routine. — 3 years, 4 months agoMissPurple | 611 reviews
Eh...I've got to be honest - this product just didn't do it for me. I didn't find the lotion particularly moisturizing compared to when I didn't use it. It kind of seems like a ploy for olay to get you to spend more. I got better results by simply using my olay moisturizer right after getting out of the shower. — 3 years, 1 month agoTheLacqueredLady | 751 reviews
Use after shavingI use this product after shaving & using my regular body wash. To stay as moisturized as possible apply & wash it off then get right out of the shower. The longer you stay in the shower after using it the less effective it becomes. It helps prevent any ingrown hairs & keeps me from keeping ashy after shaving. I recommend this for dryer skin types. I could see it being greasy for some people. I hav...read moree very dry legs so I need all the extra moisture I can get especially after shaving. Great price & it comes in a big, simple to use squeeze bottle. — 1 year agopynkNymphette | 197 reviews
On the fence..This is kind of a weird product, it works really well if you use it after your first soaping and soap after, it does leave your skin soft and nice but it can be alittle greasy. I didnt repurchase this. — 1 year, 9 months agorayshaviolet | 245 reviews

Israel's aerial bombardment of Gaza claimed its 100th Palestinian life on Friday as Hamas pounded central Israel with rockets and Washington offered to help broker a truce.
JERUSALEM: Israel's aerial bombardment of Gaza claimed its 100th Palestinian life on Friday as Hamas pounded central Israel with rockets and Washington offered to help broker a truce.
Diplomatic efforts to end the hostilities between Israel and Hamas militants gathered pace, with US President Barack Obama phoning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"The United States remains prepared to facilitate a cessation of hostilities," the White House said.
Raising fears of an expanded conflict, at least one rocket fired from Lebanon struck an open area in northern Israel.
But despite mounting international concerns, truce efforts were falling on deaf ears, according to Egypt, which has played a key role in mediating previous Hamas-Israel ceasefires.
"Egypt has communicated with all sides to halt violence against civilians and called on them to continue with the truce agreement signed in November 2012," the foreign ministry said.
"Unfortunately, these efforts... have met with stubbornness."
Neither of the warring sides appeared to have any interest in backing down.
After weeks of rising rocket fire on its south, Israel appeared bent on dealing a fatal blow to Hamas, with Netanyahu reportedly saying talk of a ceasefire was "not even on the agenda".
And Ismail Haniya, Gaza's former prime minister and the most senior Hamas official in the coastal enclave, also ruled out any end to hostilities.
"(Israel) is the one that started this aggression and it must stop, because we are (simply) defending ourselves," he said.
On the other side, Israel's military chief-of-staff, Benny Gantz, warned Gaza's militants the army was intending to "broaden its activity as necessary, with all necessary force".
"Terrorists in Gaza made a grave mistake by attacking the people of Israel. They are bringing disaster upon themselves," he wrote on his Twitter feed on Friday.
Israel has confirmed preparations are under way for a possible ground attack, with tanks and artillery massed along the border and some 33,000 reserves mobilised out of the 40,000 approved by the cabinet.
Military officials quoted by public radio said the political leadership was expected to take a decision on a ground operation "within 48 hours".
Meanwhile, Hamas' armed wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, kept up a steady stream of rockets on central Israel, with sirens sending people fleeing for shelter in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and even in the northern port city of Haifa.
On Friday morning, three Gaza rockets were shot down over Tel Aviv by the Iron Dome anti-missile system, the army said, as the Brigades claimed their militants had fired M75 missiles at Israel's main international airport.
Israel's Airport Authority said Ben Gurion airport had been closed for "nine minutes" but then normal operations were resumed.
Hamas warned "all foreign airlines" to halt flights due to "the dangers surrounding all the airports due to the ongoing war".
In Gaza, another eight Palestinians, including a woman and seven-year-old child, were killed in three separate Israeli air strikes on Friday, hiking the overall death toll to 100, medics said.
More than 500 people in Gaza have been injured.
So far, no one in Israel has been killed, and less than a dozen people hurt, two of them seriously, medics said.
A man in his 60s was badly hurt on Friday when a rocket struck a petrol station in Ashdod, after a soldier was severely wounded in a mortar attack the night before, officials said.
In northern Israel, at least one rocket fired from Lebanon struck an open area near Metula, prompting troops to hit back with artillery fire, the army said.
Military officials said they believed a Palestinian group had fired in solidarity with Hamas, public radio reported, as fears grew the violence in Gaza could spread to other fronts.
As a result of the fire from Lebanon, a Polish passenger jet heading to Tel Aviv was forced to make an emergency stop in Cyprus, before returning to Poland, aviation authorities said.
Over the past 24 hours, the army confirmed hitting 21 Hamas-owned structures, prompting a warning from the UN's human rights office over the number of civilian casualties from strikes on homes.
"Buildings that are ordinarily used for civilian purposes, such as homes, are presumed not to be legitimate military targets," said spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani.
"Even when a home is identified as being used for military purposes, any attack must be proportionate... and precautions must be taken to protect civilians."
A group of 34 charities and NGOs also called for an end to the fighting.
"Military actions by all parties must stop," said a statement signed by groups, including ActionAid, CARE, Oxfam and Save the Children.
Since the start of Israel's military operation on Tuesday, 460 rockets have struck the Jewish state, and Iron Dome has shot down 121.
Another 53 crashed into Israel since midnight Thursday, while 18 more were intercepted, the army said.
