The NYC Performance Assessment reviews the values and attitudes fostered in our school programs. It evaluates the effectiveness of the student government, peer mediation, community service projects and individual/group guidance program. The Grow Report and School Report Card are also published assessments. They are available to all invested parties. These in-depth assessments will also tell us where we need to go as we press ahead. Everyone is accountable. The parents, teachers, students, police, as well as our elected officers are all stakeholders. Therefore, they must be a part of the solution.

Families and students from Weatherford Christian School gathered Sept. 23 at the South Main Church of Christ Auditorium to learn more about the numerous missions that WCS partners with throughout its school year. This was a first-time event that gave families a greater insight to what each organization does and how the school is able to help make a difference in the lives of others by giving back to their community through service.Each year, WCS works with more than 25 different organizations both locally and abroad to teach students the importance of giving back. The non-denominational Christian school prides itself on service within its own mission statement, "to provide a Christ-centered educational environment where children are equipped for lives of Christian leadership and service." Center of Hope, Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels and Texas State Guard Toy Drive are just a few of the missions that WCS is currently serving.WCS also utilized this event to introduce its newest mission partnership with Back to Life Ministries and their Take A Hand Child Sponsorship program in Haiti. Back to Life Ministries is a local 501(c) 3 gospel ministry dedicated to changing the faces of the nations by sharing God's love through nurturing the physical and spiritual needs of the forgotten and lost children of the world. These children are given hope for a new future as Back to Life Ministries provides them with food, safe drinking water, shelter, education, and discipleship.WCS children in grades pre-K thru 12th will be sponsoring one child per grade for the next year through this program. It will enable them to communicate with the children through Skype sessions, provide them with food and water, as well as give them the opportunity for a better education and to learn more about God. "We are so excited about the Haiti mission and the opportunity to partner with such a wonderful organization," said Head of School Courtney McKeown. "Our families are so generous and so good to give of themselves and their resources in order to help others and we look for great things from this new partnership."

Time to Sell Bonds?
Greg is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Despite the stock market rally over the past three years, investors have pulled billions of dollars from equity mutual funds. And where has most of that money gone? Bond funds. Corporate, municipal and mortgage funds have benefited from the equity fund outflow. Most have had spectacular runs over the past three years. But it might be time to take profits.
With the looming fiscal cliff, it seems bond investors are sniffing out the possibility of lower corporate profits, lower personal income, further damage in the commercial real estate market and more weakness in the housing market. Even if we can avoid plunging off the cliff, higher taxes and lower government expenditures seem inevitable. And that will ripple through the bond markets.
Higher taxes means less personal income, putting housing further out of reach for many. Less discretionary income means less consumption so businesses will see lower profits. Lower profits eventually lead to lower rents and do not bode well for the commercial real estate market. And lower profits will drive corporate borrowing costs higher.
But what about QE3 you ask? Shouldn't the Federal Reserve's policy of buying Mortgage backed securities keep a floor under the bond market? Maybe, but every previous iteration of quantitative easing has produced less and less bang for the buck. The market may be waking up to the fact that the Fed's asset buying program is at the point where it fails to move the needle.
And as the end of the year approaches, many bond investors look to be locking in profits gained during the recent bull market. The only corner of the bond world holding up is the municipal sector but I believe it too will soon join in the decline. A couple of examples;
- The iShares High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (NYSEMKT: HYG) holds mostly corporate bonds rated in the B to BB range. The lower the rating, the higher the yield. Conversely, lower rated bonds will be the first to fall in value as corporate profits decline. From a technical standpoint, HYG has broken down decisively through the 200 day moving average.
- The iShares MBS Fixed Rate Bond Fund (NYSEMKT: MBB) holds mostly Aaa rated Fannie Mae bonds. It is my belief that the government will get more aggressive about principal reductions and mortgage relief over the next year. If so, the value of Fannie (and Freddie) bonds will take a pretty substantial hit. The share price of MBB will suffer as a result. Technically, MBB has broken below the 50 day moving average
- The Market Vectors High Yield Municipal Index (NYSEMKT: HYD) holds mostly non-investment grade municipal bonds is so far holding its own. But as more and more municipalities have trouble raising revenue and as defaults become more widespread, investors might find the valuation of this ETF a bit rich.
- One last thought. With the "Fiscal Cliff" looming, the solutions that Congress and the White House will agree to probably won't be enough to stave off another downgrade of The United States credit rating. Interest rates will have nowhere to go but up. The iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (NYSEMKT: TLT) holds only long term treasury debt. As interest rates rise and bond prices fall, the share price of TLT will follow. From a technical perspective, 10 and 30 year U.S. Treasurys seem to be tracing out a series of lower highs and lower lows. Not something welcomed by bond bulls.

Here is a peculiar case I am facing with a leading Domain Auction site. There was an expired domain up for auction at this leading site and I bid on it. I remained the highest bidder and finally won the auction. My credit card was charged for the bid amount and soon the domain was transferred in to a new account created by the auction site under a leading registrar of domains. I then got my visiting cards printed for that name, pointed the domain to the main site and began all work towards launching the site under the new name I had acquired (because I already own the .co and the .biz domains under the same name) and as this was a .com domain I bid for it as it was being released under auction.
Now comes the sad part which made me really angry not knowing how to react.
I received an email from the Domain Auction site that they are reversing the auction and the domain will be taken back from me. No specific reason was given and said that as per terms and conditions they could take back the domain as and when they want, even after I win an auction and domain is transferred in my name!!! Really, this is scary. I am really surprised that a domain name that expired in July was not renewed by the person holding it. I won the auction in late August. Around 45 days after domain had expired. And now after around 10 days of winning the auction (hence after expiry around 55 days had passed) I am told that the auction is being reversed?
Is there any legal provision through which I could claim back the domain?
Thanking everyone in advance for the suggestions they give.

Can I allow a registered user to create multiple profiles under one account?
First of all, this question is slightly complicated by the fact that I am still having trouble getting my registration page to function, so I'm not sure whether I will be using the BuddyPress profiles, or another plugin.
Anyway, our site is basically family-oriented, and I wanted the users to be able to set up an account (as a family), and then have multiple 'offshoot' profiles for the members of the family. Is this even a possibility?

Rare blueprints of Ebbets Field, the former home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, were uncovered by a researcher in the Brooklyn Buildings Department and will be displayed at the city's Municipal Archives Visitors Center.
The blueprints have gone through quite the odyssey after being filed with the city in 1912 or so. They were basically forgotten, but 20 years ago researcher Rod Kennedy found them in the buildings department archives. Since then he says he's worked to find them a good home -- though, to be blunt, it shoudn't take 20 years to find a home for them when places like the New-York Historical Society or the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum exist -- and ended up working out a plan to display them at Brooklyn College.
No, said the city, those plans are still are property and we want to see them displayed with the rest of the city archives. Now, you can argue whether it's appropriate for the Brooklyn treasures to be displayed in lower Manhattan; the New York Daily News is doing its best to make this a controversy. But you can also argue whether it was appropriate for a researcher to sit on the plans for 20 years -- and doing little to preserve or restore them -- when there were clearly better venues for display than Brooklyn College.

Someone asked where are you and are you happy there.
Someone asked if I thought Geryon knew something of exile.
Someone quoted Gombrowicz: "I'm not so foolish as to have an opinion These Days, or not to have an opinion. But since you've stayed behind here, get thee to the Legation forthwith, or don't get thee there, and present yourself there, or not present, because if you present yourself or not present, you run the risk of causing yourself a major aggravation, or not run such a risk."
Someone offered a list of curiosities and questions: "Eise Eisinga, the oldest working planetarium in the world, was built between 1774 and 1781. The man who built it created detailed manuscripts for others to build one of their own. What compelled Bas Jan Ader and Yves Klein in such different directions? Andrei Tarkovsky and Roman Opalka? What was your favorite music when you first in your life felt a sense of independence? Where is a place that truly belongs to no one? Dylan Trigg has written, to my mind, an interesting article on agoraphobia."
Someone recommended Masuji Ibuse's "Black Rain," with a warning that it is one of the most viscerally haunting and bleak books she had ever read. Someone else recommended Kobo Abe's "Woman in the Dunes," for seas and exiles.
Someone asked in what season or time of day I prefer viewing the sky.
Someone asked about my favorite meeting place of land and water.
Someone asked how I am and someone asked why?
Someone consoled me for the loss of a home that never was.
Someone asked what book of Thomas Bernhard's is the best to start with.
Someone asked which edition of Rilke is on the bench.
Someone asked whether I find photographs of the female nude only erotically pleasing or if I feel an aesthetic appreciation for the female form as well.
Someone demanded: "Who are you? What is the meaning of this post? What does Moby Dick have to do with you? Have you ever read any parts of moby dick while camping in front of a fire? I have. I didn't read it, but my friend friend Ben did. Tt was a Ben-idction. Get it? He then burned the paper in the fire. Does that appeal to you? Do you want to go camping with me and my friends? We talk about our feelings and how to conquer happiness and nature. Please respond to all my questions immedieately. Thanks."
Someone confessed to having a dream about me—and wanting to banish that dream.
Someone asked what love is like and if I've solved any of life's mysteries.
Someone asked if I review books.
Someone asked what books I enjoying rereading.
Someone asked what is the most stunning book I've read in the past year.
Someone was bruised, and thought of me.
Someone said I can't.
Someone demanded that I follow her back and then finished her appeal by writing "Poetry at it's best."
Someone asked what bird is on my chest.
Someone transcribed a portion of Milosz's introduction from the Book of Luminous Things: "Since poetry deals with the singular, not the general, it cannot - if it is good poetry - look at things of this earth other than as colorful, variegated, and exciting, and so, it cannot reduce life, with all its pain, horror, suffering, and ecstasy, to a unified tonality of boredom and complaint. By necessity poetry is therefore on the side of being and against nothingness."
Someone asked why am I not here?
Someone suggested that the best way to get to Iceland was as a stowaway.
Someone quoted The Name of the Rose: "In short, I am full of doubts. I really don't know why I have decided to pluck up my courage and present, as if it were authentic, the manuscript of Adso of Melk. Let us say it is an act of love. Or, if you like, a way of ridding myself of numerous, persistent obsessions."
Someone asked where is north.
Several of you said this is not a question.
Someone told me that I seem sad.
Someone asked if I'd be interested in skyping.
Someone said I'll be watching you closely.
Someone asked where are you from.
Someone said we all need to be asked in order to know someone is listening.
Someone asked how many tumblrs I have.
Someone asked what I like about modernism.
Someone wanted to tie all of these posts with one thread.
Someone twice asked why have you left Champaign.
Someone asked why Invisible Stories?
Someone asked are you in love?
Emboldened by anonymity, someone asked aren't you worried about falling into the trap of just being a reader? and then continued on to offer unsolicited advice.
Someone asked what do you know of survival?
Someone asked if I'd ever seen a copy of Rockwell Kent's N by E.
Someone asked what I thought of Nightwood, and that it'd left him or her dazed.

When you have young, energetic children, an involved, time-consuming job and a host of hobbies (such as finding a house and finding yourself), opportunities to get out amongst other humans and consume food without having to prepare it yourself can be few and far between. Introducing an 18-month-old and a five-year-old into a public space in which you want them to remain seated and restrained amidst a multitude of projectiles both hard and soft and a roomful of others understandably more interested conversing with their companions can, at best, result in awkward moments and an inability to finish, much less enjoy, one's meal. Nonetheless, offered the invitation to try one of the area's newest restaurants, Ritrovo, we jumped at the opportunity.
NARRAGANETT–No Rhode Island community was entirely immune from the housing bubble and current foreclosure crisis. HousingWorks RI, a non-profit that supports dedicating a stream of funding for affordable housing around the state, released its second annual special report on foreclosures in Rhode Island. The report looks at the number of foreclosures from January 2009 through December 2010 in each of Rhode Island's 39 cities and towns and its impacts.
NORTH KINGSTOWN – The Department of Environmental Management (DEM) has begun notifying home-owners in several coastal communities with cesspools that new waste disposal requirements are now in affect. Under the Rhode Island Cesspool Act of 2007, certain cesspools must be abandoned and the homes to which to be-long must be upgraded with a new onsite wastewater treatment system or be connected to available municipal sewer lines.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – The Planning Board held a work shop session Tuesday night, focusing on the comprehensive plan and wind energy conversion system updates.
The comprehensive plan is an update to the community Plan developed in July 1992 with approval by the State of Rhode Island on March 11, 1996. South Kingstown has routinely amended the Comprehensive Community Plan as warranted. This update includes certain elements mandated by state regulation, including land use, housing, economic development, natural and cultural resources, services and facilities and open space and recreation.

PROVIDENCE – There was some doubt to whether the West Warwick Wizards were even going to qualify for the R.I. State Basketball Tournament after their loss to Westerly in the Division II playoffs.
But a Barrington Eagles loss to Rogers in those same Division II playoffs opened up the door for the Wizards to get invited to the party and last night they took advantage.
Playing as the No. 13 seed, West Warwick advanced in the tournament with a 71-64 win over the No. 4 seed cross-town rival Coventry Oakers.
In saying goodbye to February's freeze, the Rhode Island Spring Flower and Garden Show put the petal to the metal.
That is, stainless steel fish made by designer Tyson Weiss of Maine "swam" in the "flow" through hundreds of delicate flowers,
NARRAGANSETT–The Harbor Management committee met to discuss an impending public meeting with CRMC on March 14 regarding aquaculture permits in Pt. Judith Pond.
But the main agenda item was to listen to a presentation from Save The Bay regarding a scallop restoration program in Pt. Judith Pond the non-profit has worked on since 2007.
Spring break is a time students around the country look forward to but, for one small group of youngsters from St. Paul's Episcopal Church in North Kingstown, this year, Spring Break meant more than time off school and hanging out with friends.
For 19 young churchgoers, this year's Spring Break meant a chance to do some good for others as St. Paul's put on a trip to New Orleans to show their members the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina first-hand.
Read about their incredible journey in this week's Standard Times.
PROVIDENCE - The Prout boys basketball team walked off with smiles on their faces Thursday night.
The improbable - beating No. 1 seed Cranston West - didn't happen, but the Crusaders certainly went out in style, cutting a 22-point deficit with 9 minutes, 9 seconds left to five with 30.8 seconds left before John King's magic ran out in a 69-61 loss.

Forbes magazine interviewed leadership expert Dr. Tim Elmore about how to help your children grow into leaders. Elmore is the Founder and President of Growing Leaders, an organization dedicated to mentoring young people to become leaders.
He highlighted seven parental behaviors that can hinder their growth and then gave tips to help them develop as leaders. I am giving you the quick-hit version. Click the link to read about both aspects in greater detail.
Seven parenting behaviors that hurt kids' chances to develop into leaders:
Elmore went on to suggest tips to help kids develop leadership skills:
"1.Talk over the issues you wish you would've known about adulthood.
"2. Allow them to attempt things that stretch them and even let them fail.
"3. Discuss future consequences if they fail to master certain disciplines.
"4. Aid them in matching their strengths to real-world problems.
"5. Furnish projects that require patience, so they learn to delay gratification.
"6. Teach them that life is about choices and trade-offs; they can't do everything.
"7. Initiate (or simulate) adult tasks like paying bills or making business deals.
"8. Introduce them to potential mentors from your network.
"9. Help them envision a fulfilling future, and then discuss the steps to get there.
"10. Celebrate progress they make toward autonomy and responsibility."
So what do you think of his list of hindering parental behavior and his list of tips to help them develop?

Love it! A teacher in Cobb County told me about him in the fall and I read one of his books.
In our house, we talk about most everything :). I shoot pretty straight with my kids. When they were smaller and their friends had things we did not feel were necessary, we told them that we simply chose to spend our money differently and did not have money for those things ( a family movie center in the basement with seats and screens). It is o.k. for others to have this, if it is important to them.
My daughter's car pooped out right at her apt. on Friday ( lucky). We had it towed it to our mechanic in Norcross.
Two points I made to her:
1. We pay $$$ for upgraded AAA for these emergencies ( it was covered). Being on the road, I am certain to cover myself and my family is an add on.
2. We cannot spend every dime we have, as these things come up and we will need $$$ to cover it.
This is why we have to put $$$ aside for life's unexpected things. Not everyone does this.
I believe several skills were covered in those two statements. We hope the repair will not be outrageous!

This is not even about helping your kids be leaders of anyone else but just over their own life. Give them experiences and the confidence to make their own decisions.
I cannot express enough to other parents to let their kids fail, let them experience a little disappointment and miss out every now and then. I did not do a good enough job at this at an early age with my son.

I agree with all the points. We were discussing this in Sunday School yesterday. Well, it was more on do we let others influence our children, etc….but it dovetails. So, today I get call and my eldest child has violated dress code (ripped pants)…She was told to have someone bring her clothes or go sit in isolation class. I am pretty sure she will get the point…and no I did not go rescue her from isolation class.
They both had things they wanted to do Saturday but they did not had chores done. Chores got done but they missed the "social" stuff….I noticed they were better about cleaning up after themselves on Sunday. Oldest managed to get youth group last night since her stuff was done.

Unfortunate that there are so few comments.
A while back it was mentioned that I could perhaps share shopping tips to those who use an EBT card, as I am a frugal shopper and I fuss about those who waste $$$. I mentioned that many people who need help do not want to hear it it. I have been told that I should speak to some parents of younger children and share ideas that are practical. In the next sentence, I am told that those who need to hear my ideas would not show up. Only those who already have a handle on things might actually appreciate my ideas.
The points above IMHO are very helpful in raising leaders. You have to be confident about your own decisions, in order to lead others. Failure does make you stronger or at least able to come up with a solution. Finding your strengths allows you to chart a course of where you could lead. I can lead teachers and young children but would be horrible in the band or as a cruise director…haha! Mentors can groom you for a specific career and let you know if you have what it takes.
Sad that no one wants to talk about things that are important in the outcome of one's children.
DB and I are on the tail end here, as our kids are now young adults. We both realize the value in the ideas above.

Numbers 2, 3, and 6 are pretty big in our house. My kid is still rather young so some of the other stuff is pretty watered down to her level, but we do try to address most of it.

Right there with ya MJG… my son is a freshman in college this year. Since I'm a young mom, I have a lot of friends with little ones. They get to listen to my advice whether they want it or not. I hope by admitting I didn't do everything right, they'll know it's ok to assess what they're doing and maybe make some changes.
I have a similar philosophy: parents who question their ability as parents are usually the parents who are doing ok. It's those who think they do everything right or those who don't bother to assess what they're doing are the ones who usually have issues.

A neighbor's daughter got early acceptance to UGA. She is a darling girl who is a good student, works a part time job, volunteers and drives her parents old ( non cool) mini van. I chatted with them about 10 days ago and she wants to speak with our daughter to find out things she may need to know. They are both Seniors, Our daughter in college and her daughter in HS. They are not really friends but our daughter is glad to help her! Being open to ideas that others have to share, is the smartest thing to do…if you are headed down the road they have already traveled.

When Meg Whitman Met the Tiger
Kyle is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Have you ever wondered why tigers have stripes? Tigers have stripes because many of the animals that tigers eat – deer, moose, water buffalo, antelope – are either completely color blind or can only see certain colors. An antelope, for example, might catch the scent of a carnivore in the air, but it won't be able to see it until it moves: a tiger's vertical stripes look like ordinary bands of light and shadow in the tall grass.
Can you see the tiger?
If Meg Whitman's accusations are true, then Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) is now one of a growing number of high-profile victims taken in by M&A predators camouflaged by creative accounting. On Tuesday, Nov. 20, HP reported a write-down of $8.8 billion on a company HP acquired only last year for $10.2 billion - the Cambridge, U.K-based multinational enterprise software company Autonomy.
According to Forbes staff writer Daniel Fisher, HP's management was apparently taken in by one of the oldest tricks in the book: Make customers an offer they can't refuse on a low-margin product like hardware, but enter the order into the accounting books as the sale of a high-margin product, like software. Then go hunting around for a low-margin, cash-rich company to buy you out.
Here's your pitch:
"Our new software package is red-hot! Look at that top-line growth! With your distribution network and our product, we're going to be bigger than the Beatles!"
Call it the Fountain Of Youth Gambit.
For HP – a company anchored to the lucrative but dying PC platform – Autonomy was a way to recoup ground the company had lost by the commoditization of the PC and the paradigm shift to mobile. HP's laundry list of high-profile corporate clients would provide the perfect springboard for Autonomy's data mining capabilities.
HP isn't the first large-cap company to blow its toe off trying to buy its way out from under. Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) $6.2 billion acquisition of the online advertising company aQuantative was supposed to take the fight to rival Google by allowing Microsoft to serve up millions of ads all over the web.
While aQuantative wasn't a due diligence failure on Microsoft's part – Redmond simply hadn't thought the matter through when it came to integration with the company's existing product suites – the epic fail sprang from the same root cause as Hewlett-Packard's current woes: a cash-flush company tries to steal a march on the competition by buying up a "hot" new property that has nothing to do with the company's core competency.
Sometimes, even healthy companies are tempted to cook the books if it means getting a deal done. In 2002, AOL (NYSE: AOL) was America's #1 ISP. Nevertheless, AOL management inflated the company's sales figures via "round-trip" (or "Lazy Susans") transaction accounting in order to seal a merger-of-equals with media conglomerate Time Warner (NYSE: TWX). It took Time Warner executives ten months to wrest control of the company back and spin off AOL.
Though AOL was already an established household name rather than an "up-and-comer," the pattern remains the same. Time Warner executives were afraid that their sprawling media empire would be outflanked by the Internet. AOL's then-COO Bob Pittman played those fears like a fiddle by offering Time Warner a turn-key solution to avoid extinction:
"All you need to do is put a catalyst to [Time Warner], and in a short period, you can alter the growth rate. The growth rate will be like an Internet company." (emphasis mine)
Foolish Takeaway
Hewlett-Packard started out life as a nimble, one-car garage start-up in Palo Alto. If Whitman wants to restore HP to its former glory as the founder of Silicon Valley, she's going to have to come to grips with the fact that there's no magic bullet for growth. A rich old company can't become a young company through acquisition, any more than a rich old man can become a young man by dating a woman half his age. Youth isn't like cooties. It doesn't rub off on you.
Let the lawsuits begin!

Dow finishes with best January since 1994
The blue chips just miss a 6% gain for the month. The S&P 500 gains 5%, its best January since 1997. Despite lots of headwinds, a good January for stocks could mean a good 2013.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) ended the day down 50 points to 13,861. That meant a 5.8% gain for the month and the best January performance for the blue chips since 1994 when the blue chips rose 6%.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) ended the month at 1,498, down 4 points on the day. However, it gained 5% for the month, its best January since 1997. The index had climbed 1,500 during the month, a level not seen since December 2007, but fell back Wednesday and Thursday.Flat on the day at 3,142, the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) closed up 4.1% for January. It had gained 8% in January 2012, thanks in part to a 12.7% gain for Apple (AAPL).
Apple dropped 14.4% this month, its worst January since 2008, when it fell 32%, and its fourth-worst January ever. The decline was a big reason that the Nasdaq lagged the Dow and S&P 500.
The January effect, according to the Stock Trader's Almanac, posits that a higher market in January (measured by the S&P 500) leads to a higher market for the year. It's been right roughly 75% of the time since 1950. One of the few misses came in 2009, when the S&P 500 fell 8.6% in January. The market bottomed in March and soared to a 23.5% gain for the year.
Another miss came in 2001, when the S&P 500 was up 3.5% in January but fell 13% for the year. The big catalyst was the after-effects of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. The market was also slumping after the dot-com bust.
There is some optimism about U.S. stocks, built around continued strong auto sales and the hope for a continued rebound in housing in 2013.
At the same time, there is lots of worry about the market just now. The market is pricey by many measures. I see it in the 14-day relative strength indices for the major averages.
You can see the S&P 500's RSI here. It ended the day at 74.11, down from Wednesday's reading of 83.48.
Also a worry for many is the economic effects of possible "sequestration" -- the automatic spending cuts across the federal government required under the 2011 budget deal. They're supposed to kick in on March 1.
The Dow and S&P also had their both months since October 2011; the Nasdaq's gain was
its best since February 2012 when it rose 5.4%.
The Dow's winners in January were Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Procter & Gamble (PG), up 15.9% and 10.7%, respectively. The laggards were Bank of America (BAC) and Boeing (BA), down 2.5% and 2%, respectively.
The S&P 500 winner by far was Netflix (NFLX), up 78.9%, followed by potential buyout candidate Best Buy (BBY), which gained 37.3% and and Pitney Bowes (PBI), up 37.2% Apple was the S&P 500 laggard, followed by Family Dollar Stores (FDO) and Monster Beverage (MNST), down 10.6% and 9.4%, respectively.
Life Technologies (LIFE), up 32%, and Dell (DELL), up nearly 31%, were the leaders of the Nasdaq-100 Index ($NDX), which tracks most of the largest Nasdaq stocks. Apple is the laggard. Eighty-five stocks in the index look to finish higher. The index was was up 2.7% for the month.

Note: A previous version of this article inaccurately reported Ford held debt in the amount of $100 billion. Technically speaking, as of 9/31/12 Ford reported over $90 billion in non-current liabilities, only a small fraction ($12.94 billion) appears to be related to automotive debt with the bulk pertaining to its finance division. The article has been adjusted accordingly.
I bought some shares of Ford (NYSE: F) near the bottom of the recession. I'm now looking at a handsome profit. At its most recent trade of $13.72, I've got nearly $5,000 in profit on an investment of about $2,000.
But I'm ready to sell out, and the reason for that may inform your own decision to buy it.
I'm not yet retired, as you may have noticed, and my main investment goal remains capital appreciation. (That and a steadier diet and exercise regimen to put off the retirement day.) I bought Ford for capital appreciation, and I've been handsomely rewarded.
But Ford's future is as a dividend stock, a yield play. The company only recently re-instituted its dividend, at 5 cents per share. But now that's doubled, to 10 cents.
Because F has been down so long, however, even that modest dividend, which comes to 40 cents per year, would still yield nearly 3% at the current stock price. Sterne Agee estimates Ford should earn $1.65/share this year, $1.90 next year, so that dividend is likely to be hiked again, perhaps to 13 cents. The current dividend policy is currently just one-quarter of earnings, a fair ratio, and if things work as they should, a hike next year looks likely.
The other big American car company you can buy today, of course, is GM (NYSE: GM), and it has become a nice company over the last few years, as it has gotten out of Uncle Sam's clutches.
The financial crisis has made these two companies remarkably similar. GM sales are running at about $37 billion/quarter, against Ford's $32 billion, and its net income is about $1.8 billion, against $1.6 billion for Ford.
What GM doesn't have right now is any yield at all. There's no dividend. Thus, if you're buying GM stock today, you're betting that a dividend will happen.
Let's say they go with the same rate as Ford -- 10 cents a share or roughly $1.6 billion/year. But the stock is priced more than twice as high as Ford, so you're looking then at a yield half of what Ford offers. And GM has a rockier earnings history over the last 18 months – offering a dividend is a bigger risk.
So if you're looking for income, Ford is by far the better play. And I no longer think that stock buyers will ever pay a premium for American car assets. If they paid what they're presently paying for Toyota (TM) for instance, shares in GM would be nearly double what they are now, and those of Ford would be over $25. That's just not going to happen. Betting that it will is just a bad bet, a triumph of hope over years of experience.
So if you're buying a car company, you're buying yield. And if you're buying yield, you're buying Ford. Personally, I'm more into capital appreciation, but if you're a yield investor I'll gladly sell you my shares, and we should both do quite well.

NaturalMax FemaMoist Female Support Formula - 60 Tablets
Shatavari means 'who possesses a hundred husbands". Shatavari is an Ayurvedic rejuvenative female tonic included in NaturalMax FemaMoist Female Support Formula, and it is also used for menopausal support in Ayurvedic medicine.
About menopauseMenopause is the cessation of the monthly female menstrual cycle. Women who have not had a menstrual period for a year are considered postmenopausal. Most commonly, menopause takes place when a woman is in her late forties or early fifties. Women who have gone through menopause are no longer fertile. Menopause is not a disease and cannot be prevented. Many hormonal changes occur during menopause. Postmenopausal women are at higher risk of heart disease and osteoporosis, presumably because of a decrease in the production of estrogen or other hormones.
What are the symptoms of Menopause?Several unpleasant symptoms may accompany menopause. Some, such as vaginal dryness, result from the lack of estrogen. Others, such as hot flashes and decreased sex drive, are caused by more complex hormonal changes. Some women experience depression, anxiety, or insomnia during menopause.
Menopause is not a disease—it's a natural part of life. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful:

About Me Health Conscious, Occasional Tea Drinker
I can taste the tea. It has just enough sweetness for me. I would add more if it needed it. This is one of the better K-Cup non-coffee products.
Not my cup of tea
By Doodle
from Saint Augustine, FL
I was shocked by the strong, bitter taste of this tea! There is also an unpleasant, artificial taste that I can't place, and there is not enough sweetness to justify its title. I will not buy this flavor again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
loved it
By ellendmngz
from Tracy, CA
I really like this product. Yes, it isn't as sweet as southern sweet tea, but it still taste great. There is no artificial flavor. It taste like sweet tea.

from The SOUTH!!!! PTC, GA
The person making this product should really visit the South.This tea is NOT sweet and definately NOT SOUTHERN SWEET!!!Needs Sugar in a major way. Thank goodness you don't have to brew over ice otherwise, this would be a totally wasted purchase!Brew Hot, add a teaspoon of sugar, stir, pour over full glass of ice, stir and then Enjoy
Almost southern tea
By Bella's Mom
from Florida
The tea is good, not quite sweet enough though. A tea for those that have not had REAL southern tea. I would probably buy it again but there is an odd "plastic" taste. I am hoping it is just my new brewer and will pass.
Tastes like the South
By Hethas1
from Iron Range, MN
See all my reviews
This is my favorite of the brew over ice teas. It tastes like it was made from tea leaves - no artificial taste and the sweetness is just right and tastes like REAL sugar. If I didn't know better I'd think this was my homemade stuff.

22 U.S. Code § 274a - International biological program
(a) Congressional findings
The Congress hereby finds and declares that the international biological program, which was established under the auspices of the International Council of Scientific Unions and the International Union of Biological Sciences and is sponsored in the United States by the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering, deals with one of the most crucial situations to face this or any other civilization—the immediate or near potential of mankind to damage, possibly beyond repair, the earth's ecological system on which all life depends. The Congress further finds and declares that the international biological program provides an immediate and effective means available of meeting this situation, through its stated objectives of increased study and research related to biological productivity and human welfare in a changing world environment.
(b) Congressional support
The Congress therefore commends and endorses the international biological program and expresses its support of the United States National Committee and the Interagency Coordinating Committee, which together have the responsibility for planning, coordinating, and carrying out the program in the United States.

Jeremiah's Nursery Grows Up
My Room
Name: Jeremiah (4)
Location: Silver Spring, Maryland
To create a not-too-cutesy big boy room for my son I reused nearly all of the pieces from his nursery, but this room has a much older feel simply because the walls are now a more mature color (Farrow and Ball's Light Grey).
I opted to stack the mattresses in an "L" shape so that my son would be able to crawl up to bed all by his big-boy self! (He is handicapped) The bottom mattress sticking out doubles as a reading spot under our sunny window. Also, the void under the top mattress is stuffed with boxes of out of season clothes. It works so well for us and I think he is proud of his room! (*and yes, the bookshelf is anchored to the wall).
Thanks Grace! Readers, Grace does decorative interior painting. You can see her work at Grace Paints.

I love the L shaped mattresses, that's a great idea
Wooden blocks are the best creativity-stimulating toy you could give to a kid. Great idea!!!
I love that you figured out a way to arrange the mattresses to meet your son's needs and give him independence. It also look like a cozy reading spot and place for parents to sit and read bedtime stories.
@lyonstill Looks like a Jellycats Cordy Roy lion. We have the aardvark - my daughter loves it! So soft.
Is his bed just a mattress and box spring on a frame? It looks pretty low and I like that. We've been looking for our son's first big boy bed and I like this set-up!
I love it! The colors are great, and I really like the mattress idea.
Love it! It's really beautiful and cozy. and the L shaped mattress thing is a great idea. We're about to switch our 4 year old to a twin bed, and were planning to get a trundle because she and her little brother enjoy having sleepovers in her room so much. But now I'm thinking of arranging the mattresses like you did, since that would save floor space and still probably give my toddler plenty of room to sleep on the lower bed.
Can you tell us where the ocean art over the dresser is from? Or is that one of your works? It's lovely!
Thanks for the comments! The mattres situation is just one mattress on the floor and then one mattress on top of that... with sturdy boxes under the top mattress to hold it up. We can easily move the boxes and flip the mattress around if/when we need a big guest room.
Lion is Jelly Cat
Ocean painting by Me, Grace Knowlton
I like how you have the crib mattress on the floor too! I think it's smart and a better appearance then a bed rail if they might roll out. Perfect little space to read by the window too. Simple and great looking just like I like!
looks fantastic
where is that bookcase from? it's great for a kids room!
The bookcase is from Ikea, a couple years ago.
Hi! I was wondering where you found the plane! We are looking for something similar for my son's room. Thanks!
What a sweet wonderful room (and adorable little boy). I too love what you did with the mattresses. Very nice.

Group to develop plan for Western Louisville, help rebuild neighborhoods
Mayor Greg Fischer today named a 37-member work group to develop a strategy for reducing violence in Western Louisville and harness community resources into one cohesive, comprehensive approach to help revitalize the area.
The work group includes business, civic, government, religious and neighborhood leaders and will be chaired by Dr. Blaine Hudson, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Louisville. Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt, director of the Louisville Metro Department of Health and Wellness, will serve as vice-chair.
"The problem of violence in all American cities, including Louisville, didn't start yesterday and it won't be solved tomorrow," Fischer said. "However, I speak for the city in saying that we will not tolerate any situation that leads to people feeling unsecure. This group will examine the problem of violence from all possible angles and develop a long-term, thoughtful strategy."
The first meeting of the work group will be held 5:30 p.m. June 18 in the Mayor's Gallery at Louisville Metro Hall. Fischer has asked the group to complete its initial work by October 2012.
Among the first goals will be to develop an inventory of all programs and charities that operate and provide services to youth and young adults in West Louisville to determine what is already being done. After discussion with community leaders it was determined that no comprehensive inventory of programs existed.
All groups operating these activities are being asked to provide information about their program by completing a survey that is on the city's webpage, www.louisvilleky.gov.
The deadline to submit information to the inventory is June 15th.
Churches, charities, non-profits and businesses that have programs in Western Louisville are urged to fill out the form to ensure that the inventory is comprehensive. Members of the working group will follow up with the organizations at a later date.
The work group members are:
Chair Dr. Blaine Hudson, Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Louisville
Vice Chair Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt, Director of the Department of Public Health and Wellness

10 Gorgeous Blue and Green Kitchens
Kitchen Inspiration
There's a really lovely, easy tranquility that comes when you combine blue and green in the kitchen. These sea-inspired colors really work well together, particularly when the shades veer into the deeper, jewel-toned hues.
This color combination can be as dramatic or subtle as you want. Go full-on saturated, like photo #2, or soft and sweet with a lot of white, like photo #8. Personally, I love the richer, brighter shades, like the teal and kelly green pairing in photo #1. So pretty!
What do you think?

I'm not a huge green fan, but have always liked blue with green however, and I can see this color combo working in a more modern space than is shown here.
OT, but how is your house hunt going? Keep us posted!
This made me think of a kitchen I often have in mind when I'm thinking of my dream kitchen: Cameron Diaz's NY kitchen that she did with Kelly Wearstler. The cabinets are a deep jewel-toned green with a brass backsplash and it is stunning: http://www.elledecor.com/celebrity-style/homes/cameron-diaz-manhattan-apartment#slide-4
Just love this - can't be too much blue and green or turquoise.
The second picture is my favorite, but truly all are beautiful.
haha, I have most of these already pinned on my cool pinterest board :D and 90% of kitchens there are green and blue... but the most beautiful one for me is this: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/bohemian-on-the-bowery-new-yor-63848
Um, that first kitchen and the last two kitchens are white. They might have green accessories, but they are definately white.
Completely obsessed with blue/green combos at the moment. I adore that first kitchen.
Oh that tile in #8. I love it.
Wow, that's a gorgeous kitchen (Diaz's) -- thanks for the link.
#1 is, hands down, the most gorgeous wall I've seen in a long, long time. In fact, I love all those shades of green & turquoise, & you've given me a huge shot of much-needed inspiration. Not for my kitchen (give me time), but my front door, which needs to be painted this summer. I've managed to convince my landlord (Mr. Eggshell-Is-The-Only-Colour-You'll-Ever-Need) to let me do it the colour of my choice (he's terrified, but being brave) & I've been leaning toward chrome yellow or British Racing Green (house is dark stained cedar, quite rustic looking). But now I'm thinking a deep, rich turquoise. How about an article on doors for more inspiration??
I so want those chairs in the first photo - they are just the most gorgeous green.
