The Water Alternative: Birthing Tubs
After a disappointing hospital birthing experience with her first child, Kristi Formas knew there had to be a better way. When she was pregnant with her second child, she began looking around for alternatives. It wasn't long before she came across information on water birth. The more she read, the more she liked.
Learning about Water Birth
"I wanted to have a very different birth experience than my first in the hospital, which had a great deal of unnecessary medical interventions," Formas says. "I had discovered that the water relaxes you, tends to speed up labor, is very helpful in pain management, and greatly reduces the risk of tearing or needing an episiotomy."
Formas and her husband looked at area hospitals near their Wisconsin home to see if anyone would accommodate a water birth, but most had policies against giving birth in the water. Formas decided to take matters into her own hands. She hired a doula, interviewed midwives, and decided to have her next baby at home with a portable birthing tub.
To help with their birth, the Formas hired Jennifer Graham, who lives in Wisconsin and has been a doula for four years. She knows the benefits of having a baby in the water, and says the number of women having water births is rapidly increasing. She owns a birthing tub that she rents out to families and says it is nearly always in use. "More and more hospitals are seeing the benefit of laboring in the water," Graham says. "Many have even added large tubs for the mothers to use; unfortunately they have not allowed water birthing as of yet."
This is something Graham would like to see change and hopes it will soon as awareness about water birth continues to grow.
Increasing Awareness
Barbara Harper is the executive director and founder of Waterbirth International, a group based in Oregon. The organization is dedicated to educating medical professionals and the public about water birth. One of the group's main goals is to make sure water birth is an available option for all women.

When the tourists flew in
The Finance Minister said
"It will boost the economy
The dollars will flow in."
The Minister of the Interior said
"It will provide full
and varied employment
for all the indigenes."
The Minister of Culture said
"It will enrich our life …
contacts with other cultures
must surely
improve the texture of living."
The man from the Hilton said
"We will make you a second
for you it is the dawn
of a glorious new beginning!"
When the tourists flew in
our island people
metamorphosed into
a grotesque carnival
- a two week side-show
When the tourists flew in
our men put aside
their fishing nets
to become waiters
our women became whores
When the tourists flew in
what culture we had
went out the window
we traded our customs
for sunglasses and pop
we turned sacred ceremonies
into ten-cent peep shows
When the tourists flew in
local food became scarce
prices went up
but our wages stayed low
When the tourists flew in
we could no longer
go down to our beaches
the hotel manager said
"Natives defile the sea-shore"
When the tourists flew in
the hunger and the squalor
were preserved
as a passing pageant
for clicking cameras
- a chic eyesore!
When the tourists flew in
we were asked
to be 'side-walk ambassadors'
to stay smiling and polite
to always guide
the 'lost' visitor …
Hell, if we could only tell them
where we really want them to go!

Buy These 3 Building Stocks to Benefit From the Housing Recovery
Masam is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
A stronger-than-expected housing recovery in the US has sent bullish signals to the market. The recovery has seen not only rising home sales but also a sharp recovery in house prices. Bears believe that 2012 was the year of the housing recovery and that it has already been factored in the building stocks. However, Credit Suisse estimates home improvement spending to increase 7% in 2013 and 8% in 2014. This means that we might see another rally in the building stocks.
Caesar Stone Sdot Yam Limited (NASDAQ: CSTE) – Increased penetration in the U.S., new product introductions, increased capacity and a recovering U.S. housing market is expected to drive sales for Caesar Stone. The U.S. is integral to future sales, and this is made more important by a new U.S. plant slated for 2015. Credit Suisse has set a target price of $22, which implies 26% upside. The $22 target price is based on a forward multiple of 6.5x and a 2014 EBITDA estimate of $109 million.
Masco Corp. (NYSE: MAS) – The recovery in U.S. housing is expected to drive higher sales across Masco's platforms, with the greatest benefit to its installation (80-85% new construction) and cabinets segments. The paint and plumbing segment is expected to remain the highest contributor to EBITDA. However, growing participation from recovering cabinets and installation is expected. A large exposure to the European market (~20% of sales come from Europe) could remain a headline risk. Credit Suisse has set a target price of $22, which implies 27% upside to current levels. The $22 target price is based on a forward multiple of 9.5x and a 2014 EBITDA estimate of $1.04 billion, which is appropriate given Masco's ~80% exposure to the recovering U.S. housing market and the anticipated improvement in its cabinets segment. Moreover, the stock's dividend yield of 1.50% doesn't receive the attention it deserves.
Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) - Experts continue to see opportunities for Stanley Black & Decker to capitalize on growth in emerging markets via its mid-price point hand tools, power tools, and commercial hardware, with additional growth resulting from better U.S. housing and its industrial segment. A continued margin expansion from the progression of the Niscayah acquisition and further revenue synergies from Black and Decker are expected.
However, similar to Masco, European operations remain a big headwind for the company's revenues given its ~28% exposure to Europe. The Street expects the company to return capital to shareholders in 2013, with modest debt reduction and a $700 million share repurchase, followed by a likely increase in the dividend in 2014. Currently the stock gives a decent dividend yield of 2.50%, which is higher than the average dividend yield of 1.74% paid by an Industrial stock. Credit Suisse has set a target price of $88, which implies 16% upside from current levels. The $88 target price is based on a forward multiple of 8.5x and a 2014 EBITDA estimate of $1.9 billion. The Street believes that we could see multiple expansion as the company realizes better margins from acquisitions and an improved outlook for Europe.
Foolish Bottom Line
The brief overview of these three stocks tells us that along with improvement in macro conditions (housing recovery), there are some stock-specific features as well that will bring capital appreciation in these stocks. And exposure to Europe remains a big headwind, which may not be fully priced into the stock.

DU at Big Island PTA
to comment: http://www.bigislandweekly.com/articles/2009/02/25/read/comment/comment05.txt
Not so fast on the DU at PTA
Wednesday, February 25, 2009
Over 2,000 radioactive spotting rounds may be left scattered on the ground at Pohakuloa under current Army and Nuclear Regulatory Commission plans.
Some may be hit by one-ton inert bombs dropping from three miles up, and by live-fire explosions. Some are fragmented. All are weathering.
No one knows exactly where all the depleted uranium (DU) spotting rounds are. Fewer than 1,000 of the 50,000 acres of the Pohakuloa impact area were surveyed. Survey locations were chosen based on records that may be incomplete. DU that has fallen into lava fissures is hidden from sight and from radiation detectors.
The air sampling is the wrong kind, says Dr. Lorrin Pang of Maui. He's not welcome on the Pohakuloa Advisory Council (PAC) — though he's a former Army doctor and advisor to the World Health Organization, and despite urging by State Rep. Josh Green and the Hawai'i County Council. The public's not welcome either. And PAC hasn't met for five months.
DU stays radioactive for over four billion years. How many years will funding come through to test for DU in our air, water, and soil?
Sierra Club calls for:
1. Army cooperation with County DU resolutions: no live-fire and inert bombs at Pohakuloa till assessment and cleanup are completed; effective air sampling; citizen participation in monitoring; and more.
2. Army participation in a future Sierra Club DU forum, with Dr. Pang.
3. A Hawai'i County Council invitation for Dr. Pang to speak.
3. A Nuclear Regulatory Commission visit to Pohakuloa — not just O'ahu DU sites.
5. DU evaluation of the entire Pohakuloa impact area, plus all current and former military sites on Hawai'i Island.
6. Posting of a bond by the Army for future DU cleanup at Pohakuloa.
We must take the time to get this one right.

Sierra Club, -Moku Loa group

The record Powerball jackpot is now even bigger.
Powerball officials say they've boosted the jackpot for Wednesday's drawing to $500 million from the previously posted $425 million. Huge ticket sales nationally are pushing the payout higher.
A single winner choosing the cash payout will take home $327 million before taxes.
Record jackpots encourage players who usually sit on the sidelines to play and group purchases from work pools increase.
The jackpot is the largest ever for the Powerball game and the second largest lottery jackpot of all time, eclipsed only by the $656 million Mega Millions record set in March.
Workers at one 7-11 in Chicago say business has been very busy, with some people buying as much as $40 worth of tickets at a time.
The odds of winning are around 175,000,000 to 1, but that doesn't stop some people from dreaming.
So, what would you do if you won all that cash?
"Take care of my entire family as best that I can, and put my kids through college because that's very important," one man says.
"Quit my job. Go on vacation. Buy a house, buy a car, do all that stuff that I need," another person told our cameras.
Not to spoil the fun, but you're more likely to pick a perfect NCAA basketball bracket, give birth to quadruplets, or even become president of the United States.
Here's what our friends on Facebook our saying about their plan of action if they were to hold the winning ticket:
Richie says he'll "buy new tires for [his] car...the Mars rover!"
Tom wants to "donate some to find a cure for Alzheimer's."
Red says he'll "buy the Chicago Bears!"

An area of western North Dakota, that's proven to be a hot spot in the Bakken, is pretty much being ignored.
Oil companies say the federal government and their rules are to blame.
There are zero wells drilling in the National Grasslands in the state.
The reason, it takes too long for oil companies to get federal drilling permits.
It takes at least 180 days to drill on federal land, versus 10 days on state land.
One of the top producing wells in the state was drilled on federal land.
Jack Ekstrom with Whiting Petroleum says the federal government is forgoing potential revenue by creating a difficult situation for oil companies.
Ekstrom says, "We have a stated charge in Whiting to avoid federal acreage at all costs. Because you can't afford the delays in permits that take a year."
Senators Hoeven and Heitkamp are co-sponsors on a bill to address some of the issues with drilling on federal land.
Surface ownership in North Dakota is 82% private, 9% federal, and 2% state.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Last week's frost in Wisconsin killed at least some crops which never got a chance to fully grow.
Officials said the frost damage ranged from superficial to killing, depending on their locations and maturity.
Wisconsin did get some much needed rain, but it was too late to help some of the corn. 55 percent of topsoil and 69 percent of subsoil remains short to very short of moisture, although both percentages are improved from a week ago.
36 percent of the corn for animal feed is harvested. Yields were said to be below normal, due to drought conditions in much of the state and a late planting.
70 percent of Wisconsin soybeans are turning color. There are scattered reports of plants being used for silage if they're not producing beans.
The year's third cutting of alfalfa is 95 percent finished, and the fourth cutting is 46 percent complete. Some areas are not expected to see a fourth crop.
Temperatures are well above freezing Tuesday morning, ranging from 36 in Superior to 56 in Milwaukee.
Clear and dry weather is expected statewide for at least the next three days. Highs Tuesday should be about 70, with a slight warm up Wednesday and Thursday.

UIC Women's Basketball Holds Team Photo Day
Horizon League Women's Basketball Schedule Announced
UIC Pavilion
UIC Flames Twitter
Feb. 22, 2013
Game Notes
Setting the StageSaturday's contest will be the 43rd meeting between UIC and Detroit as the Titans hold the all-time series record of 24-18. Detroit won the most recent gathering back on Jan. 26 by a final of 74-68, but the Flames were in it to the end with the score knotted at 68-68 with under two minutes to play. UIC has won three of the last five match ups against Detroit and seven of the last 10 games played in Chicago. Scouting the TITANSDetroit enters Saturday's game with a 14-9 overall record and a 7-4 Horizon League mark. The Titans currently rank third in the conference standings, while UIC sits tied-for-fifth with Valparaiso. Detroit has won seven of their last nine games, but dropped its most recent outing at Loyola on Thursday night by a final score of 91-81. The Titans are piloted by sophomore center Shareta Brown who averages 21.4 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.35 Big OnesRedshirt junior Katie Hannemann scored a career-high 35 points in Thursday night's overtime win against Wright State. That total stands as the highest single-game output for UIC since Jan. 19, 2002 when Jaysie Chambers put up 36 points versus Butler. Thirty-five points also ranks as the second-highest total for any Horizon League player this season, tied with WSU's Kim Demmings and Detroit's Shareta Brown. Brown also owns the top spot with 43 points on Dec. 12 against Lourdes College.
"The Comeback"UIC's overtime win against Wright State on Thursday night will forever be known as "The Comeback". The Flames trailed the Raiders by 17 points (66-49) with 5:29 left to play, but then executed a 17-0 run over the next three minutes to eventually force overtime and secure the win. During that three-minute stretch, UIC shot 6-of-6 from the field, 4-of-4 from the foul line and forced Wright State into seven empty offensive possessions.Home Sweet HomeThursday's home win against Wright State made head coach Regina Miller the fastest coach in program history to record 20 home victories. It took Miller just 29 games to reach the 20-win milestone, beating out co-head coaches Louis and Claudia Prete by two games. The Prete's achieved 20 home wins in their first 31 games as they began coaching the Flames in the 1978-79 season.19 More To GoSenior Taylor Foulks needs just 19 more points to reach 1,000 for her career. Currently with 981 career points, if Foulks does eclipse the four-digit milestone then she will become just the 18th player in program history to do so. Last season, two Flames' players surpassed 1,000 career points in Jasmine Bailey (1,535) and Shamiea Green (1,334).Elite Company For HannemannKatie Hannemann is one of just five Horizon League players to rank in the top eight for scoring and rebounding. That list includes CSU's Shalonda Winton, UDM's Shareta Brown, YSU's Brandi Brown and Valpo's Tabitha Gerardot. Hannemann's averages of 14.0 points and 7.2 rebounds per game easily make her one of the most improved players in the league this season after averaging 3.9 points and 3.2 boards last year. The Grossfeld SparkIn her last three games, freshman Marissa Grossfeld has provided UIC with a powerful spark off the bench. Grossfeld is averaging 10.3 points and six rebounds per game in just 19.3 minutes of action per contest in her last three games. Grossfeld scored 12 and 11 points against Valparaiso and Wright State, respectively, and put up eight versus Green Bay on Feb. 2. Grossfeld did not play against Milwaukee (Feb. 7) and Cleveland State (Feb. 11).
Newcomer of the Year CandidateJunior Rachel Story is undoubtedly one of the top newcomers in the Horizon League this season. Story is one of just three league players to rank in the top seven in both scoring and assists with averages of 14.9 points and 4.0 assists per outing. She has seven 20-point games this year and 19 double-digit scoring performances.200-200 Club Senior Taylor Foulks is one of just two UIC players in program history to record more than 200 steals and 200 made threes. Currently, Foulks has 216 career treys and 207 steals. Joining Foulks on the 200-200 list is Hall-of-Famer Joanne McCarthy who also has her number 21 jersey retired.Shooter's TouchRedshirt junior Katie Hannemann definitely has the shooters touch with an impressive field goal percentage of 51.1%. Her percentage ranks fourth in the conference and 35th in nation and if the season ended today, she would sit ninth on UIC's single-season leaderboard. In the past seven games, Hannemann is shooting 54-of-96 (56.3%) from the floor, including a 9-of-12 performance against Cleveland State. Block Party For WallaceJunior Megan Wallace has 35 total blocked shots so far this season and ranks first in the Horizon League with an average of 1.5 swats per game. CSU's Shalonda Winton is second on that list with 32 blocks despite averaging 18.7 minutes per game more than Wallace (38.7-20.0). Wallace is also nearing UIC' single season top-10 leaderboard, needing just four more rejections to crack the list at 39. Newcomers Called UponUIC graduated a league-high of almost 60 percent of its minutes played last season and over 70 percent of its scoring. Freshmen and transfers have been needed to fill that void as the newcomers account for 44.3 percent of the team's minutes played so far this season, tops among all Horizon League programs.

I know I'm in the target audience but the bombardment of male performance, enhancement and higher energy level advertisements is getting a bit much. They're all designed to get you thinking about upping your level of testosterone to the good old teenage years. Sure, there are days that are "low T", but that wasn't the case on Ray Nitschke Field today. It was one wild, high T afternoon.
The Green Bay Packers apparently got good and riled up by the coaching staff during the morning meetings and when they padded up and went after it at training camp, the testosterone raged, energy levels soared and tempers flared. There were no less than four scuffles including an epic scrape between Jamari Lattimore and Josh Sitton. It came during what's called the combo drill. It's a high intensity, smash mouth drill with half an offensive line against a defensive line, linebackers and sometimes safeties. It's purely a macho, run the ball drill designed for high impact collisions and man to man wrestling. Offensive and defensive players gather behind their respective lines of scrimmage and you could hear it getting vocally charged after each successive rep. When Lattimore and Sitton kept battling after the whistle, the donnybrook was on. Everyone piled in and it took several minutes to untangle. I snapped this shot from the sidelines just as the melee was calming down.
It wasn't just the players either. Offensive line coach James Campen and linebackers coach Winston Moss went chest to chest at full volume with veins popping. The intensity edge remained sharp into the next couple of periods with more traditional one on one dust-ups where teammates had to pry the combatants apart.
After practice, Head Coach Mike McCarthy talked about what was planned to be the last, high energy, hard hitting practice of the entire camp and sometimes, fights, even brawls are the result;
Audio: Mike McCarthy.
Inside the locker room, Josh Sitton, no stranger to the role of policeman, became one of the participants in the biggest brawl of the summer.
Audio: Josh Sitton.
As for the practice itself, Jordy Nelson returned but still on a limited basis after suffering a hamstring pull last Friday. Scott Tolzien threw a couple of bad picks working with the number two offense. He telegraphed an inside hook route to Alex Gillett that Sean Richardson stepped in front of for his third interception of camp. Later, a soft flare to the left toward a running back was intercepted by linebacker Adrian Hubbard who juggled the ball for several steps before reeling it in. Both picks would have resulted in touchdowns in a game.
General Manager Ted Thompson held his weekly session with the media today, not long after trading Jerel Worthy to the New England Patriots. The Packers would reportedly receive a 7th round pick if Worthy passes a physical and makes the 53 man roster. The Michigan State defensive lineman was a second round pick only three years ago, the 51st overall choice. Thompson even traded up to get him. It just didn't work out. An ACL tear late in his rookie season cost him almost his entire second season. Then, just before this summer's camp began, he aggravated a disc in his back while weight training and never did get on the practice field. Thompson would not address the trade specifically but did talk about dealing with the disappointment of a draft pick, a high one at that, which doesn't pan out.
Audio: Ted Thompson.
No public practice on Thursday, the team will have a brisk walk through Friday before heading to St. Louis to meet the Rams in dress rehearsal number two Saturday afternoon at 3:00 PM.

Video: Breaking Bad, a tragic gay love story
By Katie | Published: September 30, 2013
TweetSometimes all it takes is some Magnetic Fields to see the subtext. People are obsessed with the relationship between Breaking Bad's Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. A friend who I turned onto the show told me last summer that he thought Walt was in love with Jesse. I don't actually think that is the case, [...]

By Tim Pulliam
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - One of South Carolina's bravest is back home. A group of motorcycles ushered Lance Corporal Kyle Carpenter back to his neighborhood Tuesday night. It was a special moment between dad and son as Carpenter was embraced by his father James. Kyle didn't expect so many loved ones to greet him in Gilbert. "All I can say is thank you, and that I love everybody and I appreciate it more than words can say," said Carpenter.A humbling and an overwhelming moment for the marine as loud cheers, welcome home signs and the American flag surrounded Kyle. "It's a special night for Kyle," said Chris Mattox. "I just felt like being here. I felt like it was right.""It really amazes me how brave of a person he is," said Kathryn Burkett.Some say courageous. Kyle's family says he was injured trying to save a fellow Marine in Afghanistan. He fell on a grenade from a Taliban fighter as it exploded. He lost sight in his right eye, a huge sacrifice the crowd realizes he paid for their freedom."They love you, buddy," said Kyle's father, something obvious from the turnout to celebrate a war veteran who doesn't consider himself a hero."I don't think so," said Carpenter. "Look at the people that are here. I would do it for them again."Family members say Kyle still has a long recovery ahead with more treatments for his injuries. He also received the Purple Heart for his service.

"Dear Ones,
I must confess: I can not answer any more Emails sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. There are nearly 200 Emails on the site right now, and I've been answering for days. I've caught them out of order, I fear, and I've sent long answers to some and short answers to others, and deleted many that did not require an answer, and saved some.
Thank you for writing to me. Thank you for responding to the rebuttal which I posted on the Amazon.com site for reviews of Blood Canticle. I deeply appreciate the time and the generosity that went into your letters. Truly, I didn't expect people to notice the rebuttal. Years ago I posted some remarks on the site for Memnoch the Devil, and I don't recall much of any response at all. It never occurred to me that people would copy the rebuttal and put it on other sites. I had never heard of flame wars. And I was staggered by the outpouring of both support and venom that came in. I don't exaggerate when I say that positive letters outnumbered negative ones something like 20 to 1. And perhaps one of the most disturbing aspects of the few negative letters I received was that some of the writers hadn't really read my rebuttal; or at least they raised questions in their Emails that I'd already fully addressed.
Whatever the case, my rebuttal disappeared from the Amazon site. And so did months of reviews of Blood Canticle. And I have absolutely no idea how or why. I have never spoken to anyone at Amazon personally, and I don't know how to reach anyone there. Perhaps the site realized that some sort of "flame war"(?) was going on, and took action???? I don't know. All I know is: the rebuttal and many many reviews are gone. I don't have a copy of the rebuttal. I didn't save it. And though I know the words have been imported to other places, as far as I'm concerned, the rebuttal is gone.
I'm going back to work. I've enjoyed your letters. As I said, I'm grateful for them. And the whole experience has been amazing. I leave it with the hope that the Amazon site is going through some sort of natural development with regard to its purpose and freedom for positive and negative anonymous reviews. I leave it with the hope that the site will become stronger and better, but how this is to be worked out, I know not.
Of course I stand by the rebuttal wherever it may appear (as long as no one has tampered with the contents). And let me tell you all again how much I love you and how much I appreciate you. I've been given a magnificent gift in that I have seen the faces of my readers; I've heard their voices; I've read their words. What author could ask for more?
Be assured, no matter how you rate my books, or why you read them, of my serious purpose. As a writer I want it all: to delight you, to entrance you, to make you remember my characters forever, to make you cherish what I've written and pass it on to others, to make you thrill to the style, the story, the song.
Forgive me that I have left so many letters unanswered. You take care.

Post Script: If anyone wants to send back a book for refund, by all means do it. We'll be glad to send you your refund, and we'll put the book into the next package to be shipped to the soldiers overseas. We get plenty of letters from them. All blessings, Anne."

I noticed this letter in the Wall Street Journal today, and wondered about the impact of the Costco ruling might have.
Big-Box Muscle Worries Small Wineries, Brewers
May 20, 2006; Page A9
It's important to point out that the three-tier distribution system that governs the sale of alcoholic beverages in every state in the nation ensures that licensed retailers of all sizes have an even playing field when it comes to the responsible sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits ("Court Ruling Could Cut Prices for Beer, Wine1," Marketplace, May 11).
If Judge Marsha Pechman's decision stands, big-box stores will have even greater competitive advantages to muscle out smaller retailers at the expense of choice, convenience and service for Washington state consumers. While Costco claims that this decision will result in lower prices, that may not actually be the case. Providing the transportation, logistics, refrigerated storage, delivery and constant maintenance of perishable products, such as beer, is costly, regardless of who is performing the tasks. Is there really a guarantee that big-box stores will pass along savings to customers?
Americans place a high priority on having convenient access to the numerous choices of beer, wine and spirits available in the marketplace today, much of which is made possible by independent retail outlets. If Costco begins dealing directly with producers as a result of this ruling, the little guys -- microbreweries, farm wineries and, eventually, retailers -- will be left in the lurch. They certainly don't have the market power or profit margins to deal with the "enormous clout" of big-box retailers.

Top tech trio: Amazon, eBay, LinkedIn
Investors looking to step back into the tech space could start with these 3 well-positioned companies.
It's time to begin coming off the sidelines. Our proprietary market timing indicator has turned positive. We're ready to do some new buying.
We're starting by adding a trio of technology-related plays to our Model Portfolio: Amazon.com (AMZN), eBay (EBAY) and LinkedIn (LNKD). Here's a look at these three new additions.
eBay continues to see slow-but-steady growth (10% to 15%) for its online marketplace. However, the ruling reason to own eBay is its PayPal payment system, which already dominates the online payment realm (where it's especially popular among small businesses).
Now management is pushing into the off-line world, which is about 10 times larger. PayPal is now a payment option at 2,000 Home Depot locations, and by year-end, will be offered by 15 other retailers including Office Depot, Abercrombie, JC Penney and Barnes & Noble.
It also inked deals with the No. 1 and No. 3 makers of point-of-sale systems! It's trying to be the next MasterCard or Visa!
Of course, there's plenty of competition, and PayPal is still just 40% of eBay's revenues ... but it's growing north of 30% and should propel the bottom line. The stock broke out on big volume, one of the first liquid growth stocks to do so.
LinkedIn has a growth story that's easy to enthuse about -- it's Facebook with a suit and tie, and its hiring services, advertising and premium subscriptions are producing triple-digit revenue growth and heady earnings growth, too.
Long-term, we have very high hopes, though admittedly, short-term, the stock is still in the midst of a base-building effort ... something that's normal after the stock nearly doubled during the first few months of the year.
You could consider starting with a small position (maybe half or two-thirds of what you'd normally buy) and look to add shares if LNKD and the market move higher.
For the Model Portfolio, we'll keep it simple and just buy a "full-sized" position here. A decline that takes shares below the $92 to $95 area would be abnormal.
Amazon.com is a truly unusual company -- we can't remember the last time we saw a company with $50 billion in revenue growing at 30%-plus rates.
Even with that growth, the stock hasn't done much for months because the top brass has decided to invest profits to expand the business.
We think the 30% growth rates are likely to continue, and big investors are looking ahead to exploding earnings and profit margins as the spending spree ends.
Best of all, the stock has been forming a tight, crisp base following its earnings gap higher in April. On the downside, a drop below the $200 to $205 range would be negative.

The S.S. Badger has canceled service today amid high winds kicking up waves on Lake Michigan.
Wind gusts of more than 40 mph have been reported on Lake Michigan and more high winds are forecasted.
The ferry's last sailing of the year is scheduled for Friday.
The Badger's permit that allows it to flush coal ash into Lake Michigan expires in December. Its operators are asking for more time to find an alternative to the coal ash dumping.

The Details:
California is leading state for luxury vehicle theft
Mercedes-Benz C-Class has highest theft rate
New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island has highest theft rate by CBSA region
Infiniti G-Series has highest number of unrecovered thefts by volume
Mercedes-Benz ranked number one in luxury class car thefts in America and California saw the
most overall thefts according to a recent 2013 National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) report
that looked at a four-year period (2009-2012). Only 2010-2012 model year vehicles were
analyzed in this report. Rest assured though, 83.7 percent of the luxury vehicles stolen within this
time frame were recovered.
There were 4,384 luxury vehicles (model years 2010-2012) reported stolen in America between
January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2012. Below you will find the highlighted data points of the
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the only Premium Luxury class model to make the list. Mercedes
has the most models on the list with the C-Class, E-Class and S-Class. BMW is the only other
brand to have more than one model in the top 10 with the 3 Series and 5 Series.
Compact Luxury vehicles accounted for 49 percent of the total luxury vehicle thefts while the
Mid-Sized category made up for 39.6 percent. The Premium class had the least amount of thefts
at 11.4 percent but were the most likely to be unrecovered at 34.4 percent.
From 2009-2012, these 10 states had the most vehicle theft in the U.S., which account for 3,547
of the overall 4,384 total or 81 percent. South Dakota and Wyoming were the safest states with
only 1 reported stolen luxury vehicle for each.
Regions within California appeared on the top 10 list three times, more than any other state.
Among reported thefts there are a number that are also unreported. Of the 4,384 reported stolen,
713 still remain unrecovered as of March, 31, 2013. By region, the New York-Northern New
Jersey-Long Island CBSA had the highest amount of unrecovered luxury vehicle thefts (257)
with Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach, FL coming in second (115) and Los Angeles-
Long Beach-Santa Ana, CA rounding out third (70).
Only National Crime Investigation Center (NCIC) entries with valid VINs, which could be
decoded for make and model, were included in this report. The Automotive News' Data Center
was used to define the luxury makes and models found in this report, which are broken down by
these classes: Compact Luxury, Mid-Sized Luxury and Premium Luxury.

50 colleges seeking fall students -- and offering discounts
It's not too late to get into a good school this fall, and you may get a good deal on tuition.
This post comes from Matt Schifrin at partner site Forbes.com.
Last year at about this time I published a list of 50 well-regarded colleges that had reported to the National Association of College Admissions Counseling that they had not filled up their freshman classes, despite the traditional May 1 deadline passing. These schools were thus hungry for students and were offering cash rewards to acceptable applicants.
NACAC's new 2014 "College Openings Update" list is out and there are a whopping 470 colleges listed as still urgently seeking either freshman or transfers students. This large and growing list of colleges that are unable to attract enough students is an alarming reminder of how troubled and inefficient the market for higher education is in the U.S.
The vast majority of colleges continue to engage in "prestige" pricing, but ultimately are forced to quietly offer deep discounts in an attempt to fill up their classes. Then, when even that doesn't work, hundreds report that they still can't find enough "customers."
Economics 101 tells us that either college admissions officers and their consultants are inept, or more likely, that the supply of schools offering college degrees needs to drastically shrink. But don't hold your breath waiting for colleges to go bankrupt en masse; history shows that these government subsidized institutions can linger on for years even when their financial statements bleed red ink. (If you want to see the Forbes Financial Health Grade of your Alma-mater, click here.)
As 18th century British nobleman Baron Rothschild once said, the time to buy is "when there's blood in the streets." He was referring to stocks, but the same holds true for those in the market for college bargains.
This slide show contains the names of 50 colleges that are lucky enough to have earned a spot in The 2014 Princeton Review Best 378 Colleges guide. Unfortunately, these great schools have also voluntarily placed themselves on NACAC's list of colleges still in need of freshman and transfer student applicants for the coming term. Unlucky for them, but lucky for anyone with high school teens, looking for a top value school. Virtually all of the private-not-for-profits on our top 50 list offer deep tuition discounts, and not just for those with financial need.
In many cases, excellent liberal arts colleges like Knox College in Illinois, Lawrence University in Wisconsin and Wheaton College in Massachusetts offer tuition discounts to 80 percent or more of their accepted applicants. Our list of the top 50 is ranked in descending order according to average SAT scores, based on a 1600 tally of average math and critical reading scores. Needy colleges with undergraduate populations lower than 500 were excluded from our list.
Last year our top college was Sarasota's New College of Florida, an excellent liberal arts and science public school with great weather and a 10-to-1 student to faculty ratio. It remains near the top of our list but from a selectivity standpoint the two top spots belong to Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York and State University of New York at Binghamton. Sarah Lawrence has a reputation for attracting smart, artsy students, with a serious left-of-center bias. There are no exams or required courses, and SAT scores are optional. Notable alums include Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, designer Vera Wang and film and TV director J.J. Abrams.
I was surprised to find out that SUNY Binghamton didn't fill up its Class of 2018. Back when I was growing up on Long Island the smartest kids in my high school knew that outside of Cornell University's three public colleges, Binghamton and Albany were generally regarded as top notch and acceptances were coveted. That was more than 30 years ago and apparently SUNY Binghamton has been replaced by smaller and more picturesque SUNY Geneseo as the hot New York State public college.
Other excellent public schools looking for freshman include the University of Florida, University of Vermont, Arizona State and City University of New York's Bernard M. Baruch College. Among the private-not-for profits, Gonzaga still has room as does Baylor University in Texas and liberal arts mecca Mills College, located in the foothills of Oakland, Calif.
While we only included 50 of Princeton Review's Best Colleges from among NACAC's needy 470, at least another 20, including NYC's St. John's University, Alfred University in upstate New York and Green Mountain College in Vermont are looking for freshman applicants.

We have circled the drain long enough. We are right on the verge of being sucked down the $hitter pipe right into the cesspool of 3rd worldism. Hold on tight sheeple, it's gonna be one helluva rough ride.

Really bright. Can't wait to get out in the outdoors to really see it shine.
Very powerful, 3 brightness settings. The battery charger is flimsy. I had to re-stretch the charging springs as they came bent. So far the flashlight is working well. Hope that is constant.
It's not 900 lumen . . . a 500 lumen flashlight from Home Depot outshined the Solaire!
Excellent. Do not need all the selections on the switch, but the light is very good.

ABC's Super Fun Night isn't super. It isn't fun.
Much of it does take place a night, however.
|Join the Discussion

A little bit of Rebel Wilson ("Bridesmaids," "Pitch Perfect") goes a long way. And there's a whole lot of her in "SFN" (Wednesday, 8:30 p.m., ABC/Ch. 4).
If you like her a whole lot, you might like this show. But you're REALLY got to be a huge fan.
She stars as Kimmie Boubier, the chubby girl at a big law firm. (Her weight is a major plot point, so this is not me pointing fingers.)
Kimmie and her friends Helen-Alice (Liza Lapira) and Marika (Lauren Ash) hang out on Friday nights, but they have a habit of staying in and avoiding the world. But Kimmie decides it's time to change all that so they go out and horror, not hilarity, ensudes.
Kimmie is awkward, uncomfortable and has a tendency to disrobe in a way that's supposed to draw laughs from the fact that the chubby girl has lost her skirt or her blouse or whatever.
Again, this is Wilson's sense of humor. (She's also an executive producer.) Again, this is supposed to be funny.
It's not. It's uncomfortable and awkward. More squirm-inducing than laugh-provoking.
Apparently, somebody at ABC finally realized that the pilot episode is terrible, so that's not what they're showing tonight. But the substitute episode is only marginally better.
And then there's the whole accent thing. Wilson is Australian, and she attempts an American accent in "Super Fun Night." She's not good at doing an American accent. It's one more terrible mistake in a pretty terrible show.
Not super. Not fun. Not worth watching.

Kathy Tuma, associate director of off-campus studies, keeps an optimistic attitude toward abroad studies. There are no changes to date to any of the 2003 abroad interim or spring programs. St. Olaf is proactive in keeping students and parents thoroughly informed; the office is far from being flooded with calls.
The office does, however, have plenty of applications for abroad programs on their hands. Although it is too early to determine if any trips scheduled for next year will be altered or cancelled altogether, all programs are planned to operate.
Many on-site contacts, U.S. Embassies, State Department Ad-visories and foreign information services provide vital information necessary to determine if any changes must be made to the programs and to ensure the safety of students while abroad.
Students returning from recent abroad trips encountered anti-war and anti-Bush sentiments, but not much hostility towards American citizens. Katie Rusch 05, just returning from an interim trip to Germany, encountered many Europeans interested in discussing the war with Americans. She said that many boldly opposed the war, pointing out that a war has not been fought on American soil for years. "People would tell us that we have no concept of what war is," Rusch said.
Rusch commented that Germans in general seem upset about the prospect of war with Iraq. She witnessed an anti-war rally and saw public signs speaking out for the sake of peace. On another trip to Germany last year, Rusch received much sympathy in light of the Sept. 11th attacks.
Aram Desteian 05 applied to term in the Middle East, semester in Washing-ton, D.C., and semester in Aberdeen, scheduled for next year. He trusts St. Olaf to take proper precautions and feels he will always be in good hands. Desteian said he is pensive and thoughtful, but not scared.
"Im not going to pass up a great opportunity just because there is a chance of something bad happening," he said.
The number of applicants for the term in the Middle East has been low for three or four years, but interest wasnt lower this year than last year, according to Tuma.
Tuma reports that after comparing the amount of applications received this year to the last few years, numbers for all programs look good. "Were really proud of our students for sticking in there," she said.
In its dedication to international and off-campus studies, St. Olaf continues to live up to its reputation for having one of the best study-abroad programs in the country and it overcomes political obstacles to continue offering students a worldly, cultured education.
"Its more important now than ever that people understand whats happening in the world," Tuma said.

New Technology On The Move: Sandwich Buses Now Equipped With Video
By: Mary Stanley
Published: 08/24/12
When the school buses roll up to bus stops on Tuesday, September 4, there will be an added measure of security on board.
This year, as part of the contract agreement with the district's school department, First Student Bus Company has equipped all of its buses with three video cameras that will capture images inside the vehicles and even outside of them.
School Business Manager Michelle J. Austin said one camera will be positioned on the dashboard and pointed toward the rear of the bus. A second camera will be stationed at the back of the bus and pointed forward to pick up on any images that the first camera may miss.
A third camera, also on the dashboard, will be pointed out toward traffic to pick up on any vehicles that may pass a bus as it is unloading or loading passengers.
"The cameras may be able to pick up on cars that pass by the driver's side of the bus," said Ms. Austin.
Police Chief Peter N. Wack said the cameras will be another tool that the police can use when investigating reports of incidents, such as a driver passing a bus with its emergency signals on or even reports of incidents that occur among students on the buses.
It's like having Big Brother watching us and it's a good thing.
Michelle Austin School Business Manager
"It's new technology that will definitely help the town of Sandwich and we will move aggressively on drivers who violate the laws," said Chief Wack.
Ms. Austin said if there are any incidents that occur between students or if there are any behavior issues that are reported, the video cameras are equipped with memory sticks so that school officials can view the activity on any bus at any time of any day.
She said last year, First Student Bus Company equipped its vehicles with a kind of GPS system called Zonar which can pinpoint exactly where a bus is located at any given time of the day. She said this technology has aided school officials with questions of when a bus arrived at a stop or how long it was at the stop.
"It can track every move of the bus, including how fast the bus is traveling, when the doors open, and how long it is at a bus stop," Ms. Austin said.
She said last year, the school department received a few calls about a bus speeding or rolling through a stop sign and with one call to First Student's dispatcher, she was able to determine the exact speed of the bus and whether it had stopped at the stop sign.
"It's like having Big Brother watching us and it's a good thing," she said.
While that technology provided good information to the school department, it did have its limits.
"The only thing it could not tell us is how many people got on the bus. But now with the video equipment, we will have that information as well," she said.
She said the video cameras can also aid school principals if a parent calls to say that their child did not get off the bus at their designated stop.
She said while the cameras will capture the students getting on and off of the bus, the Zonar can determine which bus stop the student entered or exited the bus.
Ruth M. Joseph, principal of the Forestdale School said she is happy that the buses are equipped with this new technology.
"It definitely will be a positive thing for us. It allows us to have good information about what is happening on the buses," Dr. Joseph said.
In addition to this new equipment, Ms. Austin said the buses will also be equipped with new lights and strobes to warn drivers that the vehicle is stopping to load or unload passengers.
"It would almost be impossible for a driver not to see the lights," said Ms. Austin.

Yankees lose rain-shortened finale to Red Sox
There were more rain delays than hits for the Yankees in their attempt to end a hitting slump that has lasted nearly two weeks.
On a night which featured a 45-minute rain delay before a pitch was thrown, a 37-minute rain delay with one out in the top of the fifth and another delay of 45 minutes, the Yankees had just two hits in a 3-0 loss to the Red Sox that was called at 12:10 a.m.
The forecast called for rain through portions of the night and the game was delayed because of the threat of thunderstorms. However, nothing happened and the game started at 8:50 p.m.
In between the first and second delays, the Yankee hitting woes continued as their only hits against Clay Buchholz were a two-out infield single by Ichiro in the second and a leadoff base hit by Austin Romine in the third.
The Yankees lost for the ninth time in 12 games. They are batting just .219 since a 6-4 win at Baltimore on May 20. The Baltimore win gave them a 28-16 record, which was surprising considering who was missing, but since then a regression to the expectations of many has occurred.
The last three games have seen the Yankees get a little healthier as they added Kevin Youkilis off a 30-game stint on the disabled list following a back injury and Mark Teixeira from a nearly three-month absence following a torn tendon in his wrist.
So far neither has helped reverse course for an offense that has a team average of .245, a .308 on-base percentage and a .705 OPS.
"It's kind of a team-wide thing that we're going through but we ran into a pretty good pitcher tonight, that's the bottom line," manager Joe Girardi said. "He threw the ball very well against us and we're not the first team he's done that against this year."
The Yankees have scored four runs or less in eight straight games, have gone 20 innings without an extra-base hit and were shut out for the fifth time.
"I think that's part of baseball," designated hitter Travis Hafner said. "You'll have ups and down throughout the year but there's too much talent here and it's only a matter of things before things get rolling again."
Teixeira struck out twice as he started the night as a left-handed hitter for the first time this season. He was called out looking on a fastball and swung through a split-fingered fastball.
Kevin Youkilis grounded out twice and has not gotten the ball out of the infield since getting an RBI single in Friday's win. He started at third base for the first time since returning.
While the Yankees wait for the offensive slump to vanish, they will count on their pitching. But Hiroki Kuroda did not have his sharpest stuff Sunday night.
He allowed three runs and tied a season high by allowing eight hits in 5 1/3 innings during an outing that ended following a 37-minute rain delay. Before heavy rains he gave up a first-pitch home run to Jose Iglesias and a long home run to David Ortiz to start the sixth.
Play resumed for Boone Logan to get a pair of outs on a Mike Napoli caught stealing an a strikeout of Stephen Drew and then the rain returned just as Andrew Miller was about to enter for Buchholz.
"It's in their hands," Girardi said. "They called it. [Crew chief) Gary [Cederstrom] tried to get us back out there but he said it was building up behind and we were trying to go as quick as we could. That's why we went out and played those two outs."
About the only highlight from that point was a widely circulated video of players in both dugouts reacting to the loud claps of thunder.
"That was the loudest thing we've ever seen," Romine said. "It was daytime for a second. Right after that we took off. We're out of there, we don't need to see that."
"I heard it," Girardi said. "The guys kind of buckled a little bit. I was inside and I didn't hear it. All I know was that my TV went out and that was the clue that the weather was pretty bad. I guess it was kind of funny after they got through it but people almost went down."
