Would You Support Prenatal Autism Screening?
Earlier this week, researchers at Cambridge University published results of an eight-year study linking high rates of testosterone in the womb (specifically amniotic fluid) with autism traits in children. The researchers performed amniocentesis on 235 pregnant women. The results have some people advocating for prenatal autism screening, similar to those for Down's syndrome, to help parents better prepare for the birth of a special needs child. Parents of autistic children are speaking out against the test, fearing it will lead to less support for children with their condition.
The lead researcher for the study, Simon Baron-Cohen (Sacha Baron-Cohen's first cousin) said:
"If there was a prenatal test for autism, would this be desirable? What would we lose if children with autistic spectrum disorder were eliminated from the population? We should start debating this. There is a test for Down Syndrome and that is legal and parents exercise their right to choose termination, but autism is often linked with talent. It is a different kind of condition."
Would you want to know if your child had a greater chance of being on the autism spectrum before he was born?

Shooting Stars Extra
Theatre Rhinoceros held a fundraiser at The Cinch last week, where a hunky shirts-off contest to crown the 2014 cover model for the next issue of 'GayPocket' lured a few handsome gents into doffing their tops.

Basketball season shifts to baseball season, but no matter what your preferred sport, you can always enjoy a viewing of one or several games (and a few jock-strapped hunks) at Hitops, the Besties-winning Best Sports Bar.
It was a bittersweet farewell to Tinker's Damn, the South Bay's oldest gay bar, throughout the weekend of March 28 to 30. Upward of an estimated 400 guests came out to have one last drink and say goodbye to Tinker's Damn, perhaps the oldest gay bar in Santa Clara.
The Drag Queens of Comedy invaded the Castro Theatre on March 29 and laughter has been reverberating throughout the Castro neighborhood ever since. Donna Sachet also attended many other notable nights out, and offers a heads-up on upcoming events.
It's not often that we showcase ourselves and our hard-working colleagues, but the Bay Area Reporter's fourth annual Besties celebration, held at Besties-winning The Café, saw staff, columnists, photographers and designers schmoozing with local elected officials (and some hopeful candidates), along with local winning bartenders and restauranteurs.
There is nothing quite as much fun as exploring other people's favorite bars. Here's a roundup of your best picks, the Besties Bars.
Being a popular bartender takes a combination of skills; efficiency, a friendly attitude and a lot of hard work. Fortunately, readers voted in a rare three-way tie in our Besties this year. This trio of affable bartenders shared a little about their lives behind the bar, and away from it.
Our showcase of Besties winners starts off with the popular bar Blackbird, which won for both Best Gay/Gay-Friendly Bar and Best Place for Mixed Drinks.

Hey everyone, it's hard to believe it's 2012 already and here at Stumble Forward I have a lot of great things in store for you. In fact I've recently been reviewing my goal plan for 2012 and after reading Pat Flynns goals over at Smart Passive Income for the year I decide to publicly share mine with everyone as well.
Reflecting On 2011
First let's reflect on 2011. To put it simply 2011 was a struggle in a lot of different ways. In 2010 I earned my first $1000 in a given month and was excited for was 2011 was going to bring. However, one of the big problems I faced was distractions. As an owner of 2 businesses I was stretched thin. I was working 12 hour days and not getting home much before 9:30 some nights.
On the other hand in 2011 I also made a lot of great friends and built some great relationships with other bloggers and internet marketers such as Kevin Yu from DebtEye who even gave me the chance to give a little input on for a financial product he is currently working on. ( Thanks Kevin)
However as you can see their were some great things and some bad. In fact this year I faced a lot of unplanned issues and mistakes that turned out to be some great learning experiences and lessons learned for me personally.
So now that I've covered the ups and downs of 2011 here's what's in store for 2012.
Stumble Forward 2012 Goals
When it comes to setting goals, at least for me, they have to be actionable, meaning their has a be a clear path of steps in order to achieve my main goal for the year. On top of that I don't like to set more than 3 goals in a year. Doing this allows me to stay laser focused and achieve my goals.
So here we go…
Goal 1: Earn $3000 in a month by December 31, 2012. Currently I earn around $1000 a month which is a third of the way there. I plan to achieve this goal by writing a minimum of 3 new articles a week on Stumble Forward, and reaching out and guest posting on 5 new blogs per week. So if your a blogger who's looking for a guest post or two let me know. I know this goal won't be easy but it's not impossible either. On top of that it will force me to go out of my comfort zone which in necessary part to achieve my goal.
Goal 2: Get 3000 Email Subscribers by December 31, 2012. Currently I'm in the process of ramping up my email campaign as well. I have around 75 current subscribers and I'm working on a new 7 Day eCourse called The 7 Most Costly Financial Mistakes You Will Ever Make and How To Avoid Them All. So keep a look out for this eCourse in the next few weeks.
Goal 3: Get 3000 Downloads On The Stumble Forward App by December 31, 2012. You heard me right, currently I'm in the final stages of releasing the first Stumble Forward App for the iPhone. This app will allow you to access my latest blog updates to help you improve your finances and avoid financial mistakes. It will give you scam alerts on the latest ripoff scams going on. Third, it will also include the Stumble Forward 8 Step Debt Plan that will walk you through the process of paying off your debt, and finally the app will include my twitter updates directly to your iphone as well.
Final Thoughts…
So their you have it, my goals for 2012. Want to see if I hit my goals in 2012, sign up for my mailing list below and you will get updates set right to your inbox. You'll also be the first to find out when my new 7 Day eCourse and iPhone App will be released as well.
Finally, at the end of the year I'll let you know if I hit my goals or not. So join me now.

The Edmonton Oilers have named Steve Tambellini as their new general manager, moving Kevin Lowe into the role of President of Hockey Operations for Rexall sports.
Tambellini, 50, has been part of the Vancouver Canucks hockey operations staff for the past 17 seasons and was most recently the Assistant General Manager and Vice-President of Hockey Operations.
"In my estimation, and many people in hockey feel the same way, Steve's the strongest candidate in hockey at the executive level who wasn't a general manager," said the man Tambellini is replacing, Kevin Lowe. "It was a real easy choice."
Tambellini played 553 career NHL games between 1978-1979 and 1987-1988 with the New York Islanders, Colorado Rockies, New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks.
Tambellini and Lowe have previously worked together as members of Team Canada's management team, helping lead Canada to success on the international stage.
"This is a management team," Tambellini told TSN. "We're going to work together as a group. I don't want Kevin Lowe going anywhere. He's one of the reasons that I came here. He'll be involved as much as he wants to be involved and I look forward to that."
As Director of Player Personnel, Tambellini helped put together the roster that won the gold medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah and he was also a member of the management team for Team Canada's gold medal triumph at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey. He also served as the General Manager of Team Canada at the 2003 and 2005 IIHF World Hockey Championships, winning the gold medal in Finland in 2003 and silver in 2005.
Vancouver Canucks General Manager Mike Gillis today issued the following statement on behalf of the club regarding Steve Tambellini:
"On behalf of the entire Canucks organization we would like to thank Steve for his many contributions to our club as a player and manager over nearly 20 years. Since his days as a player and continuing through his time spent in our front office, Steve was a committed member of our team and community.
This is an opportunity that Steve could not pass up and we are in full support of his decision to advance his career. We wish him, his wife Denise and their entire family the best of luck in the future."
Despite being passed over twice for the general manager position in Vancouver, Tambellini had nothing bad to say about his former employers.
"I can't say enough good things about the people there that I spent a lot of time with."
Lowe has been Oilers GM since June 9, 2000, guiding the team to the 2006 Stanley Cup Final. The Oilers have missed the playoffs in the two seasons since, though there is a sense of optimism moving forward as the team has assembled a nucleus of young talent that should provide better results.
Tambellini is excited about what is in store for him in the City of Champions.
"It's going to be a competitive team and a puck possession team. It's going to be a team that has speed. I can't wait to see them in September."
The hiring of Tambellini also means that the frosty relations between Lowe and some of the general managers around the league, most notably the Ducks' Brian Burke and the Sabres Darcy Regier, will be smoothed out.
"It wasn't done for that (reason)," joked Lowe. "But perhaps it can open the door."
Kevin Prendergast, who has been the Oielrs' Vice-President of Hockey Operations, will move in as the new Assistant General Manager, and will continue to be responsible for overseeing both the team's pro and amateur scouting operations.

The state rested its case against Grant Hayes on Thursday in dramatic fashion, showing a Wake County jury video of Hayes browsing and buying a saw blade and trash bags at a Raleigh Walmart around the time Laura Jean Ackerson was murdered.
A Walmart manager who helped Hayes browse the saw section testified Thursday.
"He was wanting to know what the longest saw blade there was, that would fit a jig saw," she said.
The state also played a rap song written and recorded by Hayes, titled, "Broomstick Rider," which prosecutors say was about killing Ackerson.
Some of the lyrics were:
Hayes swayed to the music while the song was played in court.
Hayes and his wife, Amanda, are accused of luring Ackerson to their apartment in the summer of 2011, strangling Ackerson, dismembering her body and dumping the remains in a Texas creek.
The Hayes defense claims Amanda is the killer, and Grant Hayes simply helped cover up the crime.
Hayes and Ackerson were in a custody dispute over the two children they had together.

As of today:
At that point, the site will become static.
What this mean is that on December 1 (or thereabouts), you will no longer be able to log in to Oasis. At some point after December 1, the site will come back online as a static record, but probably not completely intact.
Since we're officially at the half-way point of the year, I figured I should catch everyone up on the state of things with Oasis.
As we haven't really moved the needle on traffic, and no plans have emerged to continue the site in some new direction with increased traffic, the site will shut down on November 30. As for why that specific date, Oasis launched on December 1, 1995, so that will put it at exactly 19 years.
As for what happens between now and then, here is what I am looking into:
I love to listen to early music. It's amazing to me, music borrows from many places and many genres. Many genres probably existed and disappeared before even being recorded possibly. I don't know why but some genres such as lute music holds a special place in my heart, as does the lyre. What I see in such old music others don't.
Even though Fall came in yesterday, it had been feeling like Fall for about a week before the fact. The cool breezes are refreshing, and I almost missed the humid tropical weather for a second or two. My banana plants will have to wait to produce their fruit, unless they actually decide to flower close to winter like last time, that's pretty odd if you ask me.
It has been forever since I wrote! There's never time in between starting school, friends, family etc. Well lets start withe the good news: about a month ago I came out to Ari. She was totally fine with it. A little confused but the only question she asked was "Are you sure?" More good news my new school is AMAZING. I made more new friends in a week then I could have in the previous school. They all are fleeing from what sounds like terrible school experiences, like me. They have problems like autism but they could be the nicest people I have ever met.
Sleep O dear and distant child, sleep and hope for better things
to-morrow shall not come for years, time is death and hollow kings
yellow is the sky at night, green is she by day
sallow is the moon she lights, lost and worn away
Sleep O dear and distant child, dream of gods and Minotaur
yesterday is far away, i have dreamt of hell and gore
singing are the whales at night, howling at the sun
wailing are the strings by day, begging you to run
Sleep O dear and distant child, fear the passing day
mercy she so sorely lacks, fair though she be may
In my last journal I talked about meeting Josh and the kiss that made me see fireworks! Over the last few days our relationship has grown into boyfriend/boyfriend status, and as it's been before, the clock's ticking for my eventual departure.
I've met a number of boys (and a few girls too), gotten to know them quickly, and if it's cool with them, gone far real quick. I hope you know what I mean by that?

Pariah. Spitter. Hall of Famer. Gold Glover. Classic Met. Arizona Diamondback. Wearer of jaunty mustaches. Leveler of Excellence. Possessor of pensive looks.
Roberto Alomar was a wearer of many different hats. Including this dope San Diego Padres cap.
The Winter Meetings are finally upon us, down in Nashville.
Here's hoping some big names, like Fred McGriff back in 1989, start moving around the chessboard.
More Fred McGriffs, Robbie Alomars and Tony Fernandezes, less James Loneys and Chris Resopes.
Today, Toronto rehired John Gibbons today to manage the Blue Marlins in 2013.
If the collection of Miami talent hauled in by Alex Anthopolous didn't already guarantee an 81-81 season for the Jays, then hiring Gibbons (career record of 305-305) seals the deal.
Can't have Robin Yount without his running mate, Molly.
In 2004, Molitor went into the Hall of Fame as a Milwaukee Brewer, despite the fact the Selig family low-balled him with their contract offer.
A native Minnesotan, "The Ignitor" overcame drugs and injuries to notch 3,000 hits and capture a World Series MVP.
After yesterday's Napalm Sale, which is what I'll refer to it as it was far more severe than a fire sale, I'm pretty sure Jeffrey Loria would have nodded approvingly of Charlie Finley's infamous trades of 1976.
In one, Charley O. outright solid Vida Blue to the New York Yankees.
But, Commissioner Bowie Kuhn stepped in and overturned that transaction, along with the Fingers-Rudi deal to Boston.
Memo to Bud Selig, but his knowledge of that era sadly only extends to 1976 Ford Pintos.
After last night's implosion, the Detroit Tigers need a big effort out of Justin Verlander tonight at the O.Co to punch their tickets to the ALCS.
Maybe he can channel some of the postseason heroics of this guy… Just not those games that Morris pitched for the Blue Jays.
From National Pastime, on this date in baseball Julio Franco busted up a Dave Stieb no-hit bid with a two-out, two-strike single.
Julio must've been chock full of Jesus Juice that day.
In honor of Italy reaching the semifinals of Euro 2012, while also sending the English packing, this week is dedicated to Italian American baseball players of the Eighties.
First up, Jay southpaw John Cerutti.
Notching the first Toronto victory at SkyDome back in 1989, Cerutti put together a couple of good seasons Up North.
Following his playing career, he became a baseball analyst for the CBC. Sadly, Cerutti passed away on Oct. 3, 2004 due to natural causes.

Kauai and the Western-most white sand beach in the USA -- Polihale
Located in a remote and wild area on the western side of the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, that can only be reached by a bumpy, dirt sugarcane road, stretches Polihale State Park, thirteen miles of wide, white sand with undulating waves and crashing surf. Don't be fooled by locals who drive their four-wheel monster trucks on the sand, or who surf the waves -- the elements here are treacherous and unforgiving. Lifeguards don't guard this place, and luxuries such as cell phones and "OnStar" do not work here!
Hawaiian myths and legends about the area are as numerous as grains of sands. Polihale means "House of Po", the Hawaiian afterworld. A Spirit path runs from the Pu'u Ka Pele area of Koke'e to the cliffs overlooking Polihale Beach, where departed souls fling themselves into the sea in order to reach the sanctuary of the underworld. So strong was this belief that all the homes built in the vicinity of Polihale would have no east facing doors, so that no traveling spirit could become trapped within.

The Tulsa dentist at the center of a public health scare involving thousands of his patients is to talk with state Dentistry Board executives by the week's end.
Board director Susan Rogers says she will likely meet with Dr. W. Scott Harrington and his attorney by telephone on Friday.
Rogers says she plans to present evidence collected against Harrington, who is cooperating with authorities. He also faces an April 19 hearing at which his license could be revoked.
Health officials last month urged 7,000 patients to be tested for possible exposure to hepatitis or the virus that causes AIDS after finding unsanitary conditions at his Tulsa and Owasso clinics.
The dental board called Harrington a "menace to the public health."
The spread of disease in dental offices is rare.

In the 90s, Laurence tells his girlfriend Fred that he wants to become a woman.

For 10 years, they try to live through this transition, and embark on an epic journey which, unbeknownst to them, may cost Fred and Laurence themselves and each other

2013 Guide Analysis: "He's only 23, yet Canadian prodigy Xavier Dolan has already starred in several films and is in the midst of directing a fourth one coming later this year. Before that though comes this romantic drama, a less autobiographical work than his first two. Despite reviews being slightly more mixed than they were for his widely praised earlier films, 'Laurence' still managed to win the Un Certain Regard Award for Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival back in May, along with Best Canadian Feature Film at the Toronto Film Festival a few months later.
While shooting "I Killed My Mother," Dolan was inspired by a costume designer's story about her relationship with a transsexual. So came this $6.5 million feature funded by both French investors and even some online crowd sourcing. Dolan himself is not starring in front of the camera this time, rather scoring French talents Melvil Poupaud and Suzanne Clément for the key roles.
Set in 1989 and spanning a decade, the story follows the impact on a love affair between an award-winning male novelist and his fiery and passionate girlfriend when the author decides to have a sex change. The relationship falls apart, resumes, falls apart again, and further shocking secrets are revealed. Clocking in at a little under three hours, the most common complaint in reviews was the needlessly long runtime and a certain amount of mannered self-consciousness. Yet, almost all praised the performances, confident direction, and excellent score."

The 47-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene in Osney, Oxford, at about 6.15pm on Saturday.
An inquest into his death is expected to be opened and formally adjourned at Oxfordshire Coroner's Court in the next few days.
Floral tributes have been left at the scene where the man went into the river. He was pulled from the water, but died at the scene.

Starfish on the beach
Laguna Beach is the culinary hot-spot of summer now that Starfish, Nancy Wilhelm's newest culinary concept, is open, and we hear that (unofficially) Katsuya, the highly anticipated Philippe Starck-designed restaurant, will open July 8 in the former Hush restaurant location.
Starfish, across from the Montage Laguna Beach is Wilhelm's latest foray into "AmerAsian" cuisine with influences from Thailand, Vietnam, China, Korea and India. The menu features summer rolls, pho, udon and soba noodles, Bhutanese rice, wok sauté, ribs and other classic Asian dishes with an American twist. Favorites include the Kobe sliders, wild mushroom garlic noodles and five-spice baby back ribs.
Be sure to try a muddled cocktail with fresh hibiscus, gogi blossoms, lemongrass and passion fruit. Or choose from artisan beers on tap and a variety of boutique wines.
I've been a huge fan of Wilhelm's original Tabu Grill, and I'm thrilled to welcome Starfish as a new dining option too. The more casual Starfish features a center stage bar, black lacquered tables, Asian art deco styling and antiques and objets d'art that make it a sexy eatery.

Thank goodness for the cutting room floor! Twilight's Bella and Edward Cullen gave birth to the most wondrous, beautiful baby the world would ever see. You may remember the casting process for Renesmee rivaling that of Fifty Shades. It was not taken lightly, and when they finally found Mackenzie Foy, well, it was like discovering the most ethereal child that ever existed. But even Mackenzie wasn't the filmmakers' first choice. What -- not who -- they initially chose was so creepy the film's actors had trouble getting through scenes with it.
Thanks to a special feature from Twilight Forever, The Complete Saga Box Set, which is out this week, we get to see a clip of Chuckesmee, an amazingly life-like, 60-pound animatronic doll that was created to represent Renesmee. I definitely don't blame the film's creators for trying something different. Everyone was stumped on how a real-life child was supposed to play the half-vamp, who, in the book Breaking Dawn, grows at an unbelievably fast rate and possesses supernatural powers.
But director Bill Condon admits the doll was a colossal failure and tossed the idea before it made it on screen. It's not difficult to see why he -- and the entire cast -- felt that way. This is one horrifying little creature, with huge dead eyes and a bizarre flabby neck. In the clip below, you can actually see the look of terror spread across Nikki Reed's face as she attempts to get through a scene with it.
I think it's pretty clear that Renesmee had to be a human child for this to work. And I don't think they could have found a better choice than little Mackenzie. But I'm also thankful this thing didn't make it to the big screen -- it would have given me nightmares for weeks.
What do you think of Chuckesmee?

Hooooly crap that things is creepy!
Really high forehead for a child that small....
LMAO that thing is terrifying!!!!!
So glad they had a real baby instead of that thing. It's so ugly and creepy!
wait, they used a human baby in the end??? I was pretty sure they use CG for the baby because that thing did NOT look real in the movie, or cute. just creepy as hell.
They act like this awful doll is less creepy than the CGI they actually used??? The baby in the film was horrible, I actually paused the movie and made my husband come in so we could both get a laugh.
Hi I'm Chucky. Wanna play?

Here is a NEW fact of life for state government relations.
State legislators are Tweeting.
State legislators are posting on Facebook.
State legislators are using these social media platforms to reach constituents, the media and advocates.
Through these channels they are broadcasting their opinions, plans, observations, concerns, frustrations and hopes – unfiltered and unedited.
The words "gold mine" come to mind.
But, as with mining for gold, mining for this information takes time, planning and knowing where to dig. With more than 7,300 state legislators, you need to have the infrastructure in place to capture quickly the relevant issue information.
Enter Stateside Associates and our new social media monitoring service, TellTale. Designed to be flexible and scale from monitoring legislators and a single issue in one state to multiple issues in all fifty states, this service includes analysis of the platforms used, the sentiment expressed and the level of users' influence. Additionally, we present the context in which the conversations are happening, the volume and trends over time.
Before long, no one will imagine conducting state bill tracking or state legislative monitoring without TellTale.
Combining our client, issue and jurisdiction expertise with a deep understanding of social media, we deliver reports that are targeted, timely and politically astute. We work with clients to understand these reports and execute on strategies to counter negatives and amplify positives.
For additional information and sample TellTale reports, please contact Nick Blazer, Manager of Social Media Services at email@example.com or call (703) 525-7466.

Con Edison says it has command posts set up at seven locations in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island to assist customers who had electrical equipment damage by Superstorm Sandy.
Meanwhile, Con Edison says it restored electricity to 98 percent of homes and businesses in New York City and Westchester County. About 20,000 customers remain powerless.
The locations in the three boroughs are as follows:
Gerritsen Avenue and Lois Street in Gerritsen Beach
Highland Avenue and Lyme Avenue in Seagate
Shore Boulevard and Mackenzie Street in Manhattan Beach
Voorhies Avenue and Ocean Avenue in Brighton Beach
Cross Bay Boulevard and East 9th Road in Broad Channel
Cross Bay Boulevard and 165th Avenue in Old Howard Beach
Staten Island
Father Capodanno Boulevard and Hunter Avenue
Con Edison said inspectors are going door-to-door in flood-damaged areas to determine if customer equipment was damaged. If the utility company determines that a customer's equipment was not damaged, their service will be restored when the company re-energizes the affected area.
A customer whose equipment has sustained water damage will need to have a private licensed electrician or plumber certify that the equipment can be safely energized according to Con Ed.

Support for Japanese Exporters
Nate is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
You all might have missed it in the inaugural din these last few days, but the Japanese Central Bank, their equivalent of our Federal Reserve, took a surprising action. The governors over there decided to shift policies radically, begin inflating the yes and promote exports to bring about economic growth. That's a huge shift from the traditional austerity that the bank has practiced during Japan's hard times.
I think the reasoning here is that austerity in Japan hasn't worked to move the country out of its doldrums. That may be the case, and if so, a new approach is called for. Whether this will be the case remains to be seen. I'll be interested to watch what happens.
The bank has promised to, essentially, print money in the trillions of yen, perhaps even an unlimited amount of yen. The one really predictable outcome of this policy, should the really commit to it, is to decrease the value of the yen against other world currencies and make Japan's exports more affordable. That should bring more money into the country and boost economic activity. So the theory goes, anyway.
But who's going to benefit? You can, if you play your investments right. A truly committed move by the Japanese Central Bank to boost imports means you should think about getting some of those firms as soon as you can. Even if the boost is a short-term one, you should still be able to see some profit from it.
Toyota (NYSE: TM)
Toyota, despite some troubles with recalls lately, is still trading at the top of its range. At the end of last year the company announced that it expected to finish 2012 selling 9.7 million vehicles – an increase of 22% over the year before. On top of that Citigroup upgraded the firm to a BUY based on a weaker Yen before the Central Bank got involved. Toyota's is a good spot to see the price of its vehicles suddenly get better against the competition. The company's stock is trading at $94.83 at the close of Jan. 22, 2013 and has climbed to that level from $71.15 a year ago. Toss in a dividend of 73 cents per share and I'd like it even if the Central Bank wasn't going to try to pump it up.
Sony (NYSE: SNE)
Sony's an interesting case. The stock has been weak this year, but there are signs that good things are on the horizon for the electronics giant. The company didn't exactly come out of the Consumer Electronics Showcase with good press, but it still committed to its core business of cameras, televisions and such. It plans to make efforts to widen its customer base in a sector where a lot of buyers are becoming more feature- and less brand-oriented. Waiting in the wings, of course, is the long rumored console game system, the PlayStation 4. Sony recently shut down production of the PS2 and that's spurred the rumor-mill about the PS4. When that comes out that should provide a big shot in the arm for Sony (and various other game designers). The firm's stock is, frankly, worrisome. It's trading at $13.35 while in the last year it's been as high as $22.35. A 15 cent per share dividend does yield 2.31%, though. I think Sony will do well if the Central Bank follows through. Riskier than Toyota, but not a bad risk.
Panasonic (NASDAQOTH: PCRFY)
This is another firm that could really benefit from a weakening of the Yen. Panasonic is sort of Sony's stodgy older brother. They make good electronics, but not truly flashy ones that command a lot of brand-awareness. Still, they work and that means a lot in a world where having the right brand on your shelves is fading in importance. The company is very challenged by Korean titan Samsung is all aspects of its business, but I think it'll pull through. Still, the challenges are there. Fitch recently downgraded its debt to junk status and that will raise the cost for Panasonic to borrow. Still, the firm did just bring out the ToughPad tablet running Windows 8. There are things to like, here, and the Central Bank's attempt to weaken the Yen could suddenly find the firm as lot more cost-competitive out in the electronics marketplace. The firm's stock has been drifting lower this year, dropping from a high of $9.46 to a low towards the end of the year of $4.61. It's rebounded since, closing yesterday at $6.62. This is a riskier play with a higher potential return. I think it's worth putting some money into, based on what the Central Bank says it's going to do.
Look, a switch in economic policy by a major player is always disruptive to a certain extent. And there's no doubt that's what the Japanese Central Bank is trying to do: be disruptive. The bank's governors have seen what their current policy has led to and they want no more of it. So with the switch, they hope to stimulate things in the Japanese export sector. It'll be interesting to see how things go, as I said. I'll be watching, and I think you should be, too.
Good luck!

"The Convivium is rest from labors, release from cares, and nourishment of genius;
it is the demonstration of love and splendor, the food of good will, the seasoning of
friendship, the leavening of grace and the solace of life." Marsilio Ficino
Neumann University's Office of Academic Affairs held its second annual Fall Faculty Convivium on Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Convivium is a Latin word meaning a banquet or gathering, from con + vivo – literally, to live together.
In the longstanding tradition of Franciscan hospitality, faculty gather together once yearly to share scholarship and best practices through presentations to their colleagues, along with a setting providing good food, good music and good company. Dean of Arts and Sciences Dr. Mac Given and Assistant Professor of Chemistry Sylvia Riviello provided a medley of jazz standards played on clarinet and piano, respectively, from the great American songbook.
This year's Convivium was no exception. Held at the Spiritual Center of Our Lady of Angels Convent with the warm and welcoming hospitality of the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, the 2011 Fall Faculty Convivium featured poster and oral presentations by sixteen members of the Neumann University faculty. Sr. Janet Thiel, OSF, Ph.D., Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs, organized the event and opened the evening with an invocation. Dr. Gerard O'Sullivan, Vice President for Academic Affairs, provided welcoming remarks.
The theme of this year's Convivium was "Showcasing Faculty Scholarship According to Boyer's Taxonomy." Faculty offered poster and oral presentations on their research and scholarship according to the system of classification developed by Ernest Boyer in his two most well known books, Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate (1990, 1997) and Scholarship Assessed: Evaluation of the Professoriate (1997).
Boyer's groundbreaking work categorized faculty scholarship according to four areas or types: scholarship of discovery; scholarship of integration; scholarship of application and; scholarship of teaching. Boyer's approach broadened the academy's understanding of research beyond traditional models and made research more broadly relevant to the demands of a rapidly changing and globalizing world. Boyer's taxonomy is described below:
Dr. Randall Detra, Associate Professor of Science, opened this year's Convivium with his presentation on "Environmental Consulting," detailing work he has performed as an expert consultant on soil and water contamination by toxins in Delaware. Dr. Detra's work illustrated Boyer's category of the scholarship of application.
Following Dr. Detra's presentation was Dr. Hasan Yonten's paper on "A Study of Multilateralism in International Migration," in which the assistant professor of Political Science discussed his original research on multilateral agreements and the migration of peoples from nation to nation through the last century. Dr. Yonten's presentation highlighted Boyer's category of the scholarship of discovery.
Dr. Maria Traub, Associate Professor of French and Italian, followed with her presentation on "Flaubert and Francis: Stories of Conversion," which provided a "map of reading" to Flaubert's story "The Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitaller" published in Three Tales (Trois Contes), 1877. Dr. Traub's interpretation was based upon a comparison between the story of Flaubert's protagonist and the life of Saint Francis of Assisi. Dr. Traub's presentation was an example of the scholarship of integration.
Finally, Dr. Constance Korteland's presentation titled "Neumann Students and Inmates in a Philadelphia Prison Study Together in That Prison" detailed the experience of her students with the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program, which brings students and prisoners together in a university-level course. Dr. Korteland, Professor of Psychology and Criminal Justice, shared stories of life-transforming encounters between students and inmates and illustrated Boyer's categories of scholarship of teaching and scholarship of civic engagement – a later addition to the taxonomy.
This year's Convivium featured a number of highly successful poster presentations: Dr. Mehdi Hojjat on "Global Education as a Community Service" (scholarship of application); Sr. Janet Thiel, OSF, Ph.D. on "End of Course Refelections: Neumann's Continuous Course Improvement" (scholarship of discovery); Dr. Janelle Ketrick-Gillespie, Lori Pellescki and Prof. James Kain on "Collaborating on Course Redesign – Reading and Writing" (scholarship of integration); Dr. James Houck and Sr. Suzanne Mayer, IHM, Ph.D. on "From Clinical Case to Capstone Project: A Process of Integration" (scholarship of integration); Dr. Gail Corso and dr. Colleen McDonough on "Preliminary Results of Ongoing Study: Integrating Speaking into Two-course Sequence of First-year Writing" (scholarship of teaching); Dr. Joseph Glass on "News via CMS" (scholarship of teaching) and; Prof. Marina Lutz and Dr. Theresa Pietsch on Diagram-a-Body: Using a Concept Map to Identify Assessment and Care Planning Needs of a Patient" (scholarship of teaching).
Dr. Gail Corso and Dr. Colleen McDonough share their research with Dr. Rosalie Mirenda, President of Neumann University, and Sr. Suzanne Mayer, IHM, Ph.D.
Dr. Maria Traub, Associate Professor of French and Italian, describes the stained glass
window illustrating the life of St. Julian the Hospitaller in France's Rouen Cathedral.
Dr. Mac Given and Dr. Sylvia Riviello serenade their colleagues with jazz standards,
expertly rendered.
Dr. Joseph Glass discusses the work of Prof. James Kain, Ms. Lori Pellescki
and Dr. Janelle Ketrick-Gillespie.
Dr. Theresa Pietsch and Prof. Marina Lutz describe their work on concept-mapping
in Nursing education with Interim Dean of Business and Information Management,

[video] Quick Take: Fed's Already Tapering
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- With the Federal Reserve's final meeting of 2013 at hand, TheStreet's Joe Deaux sits down with Brian Barnier, principal analyst at ValueBridge Advisors, to discuss the current situation.
Barnier reminded investors that the Fed has continued to remain data-driven, meaning that nothing in its monetary policy is concrete until the economy proves that it's actually getting better.
One problem he's been noticing is that corporations are boosting bottom line operations via cost cutting, while top line growth has failed to gain any real traction.
This not only creates an issue for the Fed, but also for consumers, who view this negatively. It makes them skittish. This only worsens the process, he added.
Regarding the Fed's personnel, the potential addition of Stanley Fisher, the former governor of the Bank of Israel, as the vice chairman of the Fed would be a great move, according to Barnier.When asked to elaborate, he told Deaux that Fisher brings a sense of historical macroeconomic experience to the table, which will help the Fed navigate the unknown economic waters it currently faces. He concluded that Fisher will be able to help decipher what will work and what won't work going forward with the current monetary policy. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich.

UCF quarterback Blake Bortles has exploded onto the draft scene. At one time, conversation of the top quarterback in the class was dominated by the likes of Bridgewater and Manziel, but that has changed as of late. Bortles made a name for himself by having a big bowl game and knocking off tougher competition at the college level. He has caught the eye of several NFL general managers and there are rumors that the Houston Texans are considering selecting him with the #1 overall pick.
Bortles is 6'3″ and 230 pounds. That is prototypical size for an NFL quarterback. Plus, the extra weight that he has over other players like Bridgewater and Manziel makes him a bit more durable when asked to run the ball. However, scouts have his potential ranged anywhere from being as high as Andrew Luck's to as low as Jake Locker's. It's this kind of gamble that could pay off for a team willing to take that chance.
Here are his statistics over three years at Central Florida:
37 games played
- 585 completions
- 891 pass attempts
- 65.7% completion percentage
- 7598 passing yards
- 56 passing touchdowns
- 19 interceptions
- 195 rushes
- 561 rush yards
- 15 rushing touchdowns
- Success in a pro-style offense
- Prototypical size for NFL
- Athletic enough to make plays with his feet
- High level of intelligence
- accurate under pressure
- Pocket awareness
- Ball Security
- Looking off defenders
- Lacks elite arm strength
Fit For The Vikings
With the news of Matt Cassel voiding his deal with Minnesota, the Vikings are going to need to look to free agency or the draft to fill the quarterback position on the team.
My Take
After watching some game film on Bortles, I don't believe he will be a great NFL quarterback. He seems too shaky in the pocket and indecisive with the football in his hands. I would advise the Vikings to pass on him if he is available with the #8 pick. Then again, I have been very wrong with some of my evaluations in the past and would love to be proven wrong.
