No, Alibaba doesn't actually cure cancer; however, you would think so as some traders say it's lifting stocks ahead of its IPO tomorrow.» Read More
Biotech firm Vascular Biogenics started trading on the Nasdaq on July 31st, pricing 5.4 million shares at $12, and attracted little attention. The Nasdaq abruptly halted trading Friday morning, asking for "additional information" from the company.
That, however, isn't the strange part. Shortly after the Nasdaq intervened, the company announced that its initial public offering (IPO) had been cancelled "due to an unexpected situation in which a substantial existing U.S. shareholder did not fund payment for shares it previously agreed to purchase in the offering."
Kinder Morgan put together a massive $44 billion deal on Monday, an exclamation point on how hot the energy sector is nowadays. The pipeline operator will pull together its parts, including Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, Kinder Morgan Management, and El Paso Pipeline Partners while abandoning its Master Limited Partnership (MLP) structure that combines all its parts into a classic corporation.
As CEO Rich Kinder told CNBC, by shedding the MLP structure and going to a straight corporation they get lower capital costs that make them more competitive in their quest to keep buying assets.
Is this a trend? Not likely. This is a bit of an anomaly, because Kinder Morgan had so many different companies that were less than the sum of their parts.
There was quite a stir overnight when it was revealed that high-yield funds saw $7.07 billion in outflows, a record for one week. That includes mutual funds and ETFs and is the fourth straight weeks of redemptions.
The two largest high-yield ETFs, SPDR Barclays High Yield (JNK) and iShares US High Yield (HYG), had combined outflows of about $2.4 billion in the last month, according to ETF.com. Given that the two have a present combined market cap of about $21 billion, that would be an outflow of about 10 percent.
That seems high, no? Like, a lot? Is this an earthquake of some sort?
Well, yes and no. First, as Dave Nadig at ETF.com has pointed out to me, the daily flow in and out of these high-yield funds is incredibly noisy. It is fairly typical, for example, to see flows of $100 to $250 million a day in HYG, for example, which has an $11 billion market cap. That's a one to two percent ebb and flow everyday.
In other words, given that a one to two percent flow in and out is typical on a daily basis, a 10 percent outflow in a month is certainly high, but not unbelievable.
Second, there is the issue of relative return, and here is where a lot of people make a mistake. They just look at prices. True, prices are down roughly two to three percent in the past month in these ETFs, but they appear to have stabilized. Since bottoming at the end of July, the HYG is up every day this week.
And remember, these bond funds are high yield: They are currently paying out roughly 5.7 percent interest, about three percentage points above the 1.9 percent yield from the S&P 500, and they make monthly distributions. So you can't just look at a price chart.
Is the high-yield bond market overvalued? I think so. It's certainly no fun to get a five percent return on what are supposed to be much higher-risk instruments. But this is what happens when everyone reaches for yield.
But is this the start of a SIGNIFICANT, long-term correction in high yield? I'm not sure. The most important factor is the state of the economy and the likelihood of default on any of these bonds. But the economy is improving; credit risk seems fairly low at the moment.
Remember, although they are bond funds, in times of high volatility they can act like stock funds: they go down, not up. The S&P dropped about three percent in the past few weeks. So there is a lot of noise that is impacting these funds now that could go away (or increase) very quickly.
But if cheap money isn't cheap any more...well, that's a different story. If the 10-year yield starts moving...if, for example, it goes north of three percent from 2.4 percent now...high-yield funds should move up in yield, down in price. How much? Not entirely clear, but I wouldn't be surprised to see another three ercent drop in prices.
In the face of turmoil in Ukraine, sputtering growth in Europe and now U.S. involvement in Iraq, it's safe to say the macro front is fairly chaotic.
On Thursday, U.S. officials confirmed that military aircraft are conducting limited strikes on the artillery of anti-government insurgents (on top of airdropping humanitarian aid). Add that to the widening Ebola emergency, the resumption of the Israel/Hamas war, and Russia banning food imports—and considering banning overflights.
We know that the global uncertainty is affecting European stocks, but that is now spilling over into U.S. stocks.
Thursday's U.S. jobless claims report showed a strengthening labor market. At 289,000, the jobless queue was at the lowest levels since July 19, when it was 279,000; prior to that, you have to go back to 2006. The four-week moving average is also at its lowest levels since 2006.
Over across the Atlantic, however, the picture is different. With everyone distracted by Ukraine and Russia, Europe is becoming a dicier proposition by the day.
European Central Bank (ECB) head Mario Draghi left interest rates unchanged. This is a delicate time for Draghi: Europe is clearly being influenced by events in Ukraine; the German economy —the euro zone's largest—appears to be slowing; and Italy has slipped into a technical recession (defined as two consecutive quarters of economic contraction).
During the press conference, he acknowledged that that geopolitical risks could hurt the economy.
Message to markets: It's not just Ukraine.
Although Portugal's issues have been well publicized, this morning Italy said its second quarter growth contracted by 0.2 percent year-over-year, on top of an 0.1 percent decline in the first quarter —indicating the country slipped back into recession and ending the new prime minister's honeymoon.
In other words, things are a real mess again in Europe. Both Portuguese and Greek markets have swooned by more than 3 percent, and the other countries are down about one percent. The euro is languishing near a nine-month low against the dollar, in the wake of data showing German industrial orders tumbled at their steepest rate in almost three years.
It's just the continuation of an ugly trend in the past four weeks since the Ukraine crisis heated up:
With Target (TGT) down almost three percent on its lowered outlook, it's interesting none of its competitors are suffering any collateral damage. Seems like everyone believes this is a Target-specific problem, with the issue being the damage from the data breach.
But, as I pointed out this morning, there is a lot more going on here.
Consumers are still shopping, they're just finding other ways to shop. And a lot of it is online. And companies like Target are not the company people think of when they think, "online shopping."
A lot of analysts believe that is the core of the problem. David Schick, retail analyst at Stifel, believes that HALF of all retail spending growth is now occurring online. In other words, spending is happening, it's just that a lot of it is not happening in stores.
So what do retailers do? For years, they were used to three to four percent comparable-store sales growth; a lot of them aren't seeing that any more, they're seeing one percent growth.
So they have conference calls and they complain about the consumer.
But that's not completely the case...statistics indicate consumer spending growth is close to three percent...they're still spending, they're just spending elsewhere.
That's not to say that there aren't consumers hurting, or that there isn't structural employment. We know many are hurting. That's definitely a factor.
But look at Target. Look what it sells. Everything from paper towels to cleaners to sundries and fans. A lot of this falls into categories consumers can easily buy online. You can have paper towels delivered every eight weeks regularly, if you want.
Then there's the change in the way consumers buy things. Ten years ago, the consumer said, "I want to feel the sheets before I buy them." A lot of consumers (myself included) still want to feel the sheets, but a lot of consumers who grew up on the internet (millennials) want to read 10 REVIEWS that say these are the best sheets. That's a big change.
This dovetails nicely with David Berman's (of Berman Capital) argument that much of the growth in consumer spending is going to Amazon, Apple and Samsung. That may be a bit narrow, but it's directionally correct.
Portugal bailed out Banco Espirito Santo (BES), its biggest bank. Get used to seeing this.
The stock market, after dropping more than 10 percent in July, is up 1.8 percent today, leading all European bourses higher.
Over the weekend, Espirito Santo was saved by the Central Bank of Portugal, to the tune of roughly $6.5 billion, using the old "bad bank/good bank" model. BES's activity and assets will be transferred to a "good bank," called Novo Banco. Depositors and senior bondholders will not lose any money.
Another strange day, but it's becoming clearer that weakness in Europe and the Ukraine crisis is having a ripple effect.
In theory, it should have been an up day: The Jobs report was weaker than expected but not too weak and helped calm fears the Federal Reserve might raise rates sooner rather than later. The July ISM manufacturing report was quite strong.
We tried to rally right after both of those reports, but the markets went straight down late morning. Straight down into the European close, and only began to climb back after that.
A lot of people think Europe is a major problem. Companies like Adidas are now openly saying sanctions are starting to bite. If that starts to show up in earnings and profits to a great extent, it will certainly impact global growth.
Five reasons why the market is seeing red
The problems with Banco Espirito Santo in Portugal only add to the problems.
There are other issues, of course. You can argue no one was willing to ride to the rescue of the market on a Friday, and that may be part of it.
And then there is the endless waiting for the market correction. Plenty of people have had their finger on the trigger if they sense the possibility of the market heading in that direction. They see it everywhere: Small caps underperform! Multinationals weak today!
So far, they have been wrong. Volume is heavier today, but not as heavy as yesterday.
But there has been some damage done this week. The S&P 500 is down 2.7 percent, the worst week in two years. Dow Industrials: Also down 2.7 percent, worst week since January. Nasdaq down 2.1 percent, worst week since April.
Don't let Mobileye's (MBLY) big debut fool you--there has been a deterioration in IPO pricing recently.
True, it is a great day for the Israeli company, which priced 35.5 million shares at $25 and opened at $36. Wow.
If you just look at the basic numbers, it doesn't look bad for IPOs. Of the 176 IPOs that have priced as of yesterday, 105 (60 percent) are trading above their IPO prices, according to Renaissance Capital.
But that masks a significant deterioration.
IPOs all wet as tidal wave of new offerings loom
Since July, there have been 34 IPOs priced. Of those, 12 have been biotechs (35 percent).
Only 20 percent of those biotechs are above their initial price, compared to 44 percent for non-biotech IPOs.
That is a bad trend all-around.
On top of that, several biotech IPOs have been postponed: Lantheus Holdings (LNTH) and Mapi-Pharma (MAPI) were postponed, Micro Balin (MAPI) was put on day-to-day status, and Tobira Therapeutics (TBRA), Zosano Pharma (ZSAN) and Atara Bio (ATRA) were pushed into next week.
So why are so many biotech IPOs still coming? According to Renaissance, many biotechs are getting done because the venture owners are putting new money in at the IPO price to get the company public (and mark up their portfolio investment?) and pharmaceutical acquisitions are keeping up the odds up of a potential winner.
Even after the Dow and the S&P 500 closed at new all-time highs, closely followed contrarian Marc Faber keeps sounding the alarm.
Eugene Fama, the University of Chicago investing researcher, once again warned investors against the lure of active management.
Fares Noujaim, an executive vice chairman at Bank of America has left the company abruptly.

New York City has always been a tough town. But when you're an Irish immigrant who escaped the notorious Five Points neighborhood to fight in the Civil War, join the city's burgeoning police force, and rise to power through a combination of ruthless cunning and innovative detective work, things are tougher and more complicated than you could ever imagine. Such is the life story of Thomas Byrne (1842-1910), New York City's premiere police chief during the 19th century. This biography by historical writer J. North Conway traces the career of the man who implemented now-standard crime-fighting techniques like mug shots and police line-ups and who got his best results when he "gave 'em the third degree," a phrase he coined and which meant beating confessions out of suspects. Byrne solved the major crimes of his day—the case of "America's Jack the Ripper," the ballsy robbery of the impenetrable Manhattan Savings Bank, the theft and ransom of a millionaire's dead body—but got caught up in the corrupt Tammany Hall-dominated politics of the day. Byrne was a complicated man with his own set of morals, and the story of his rise and inevitable fall is sensational, compelling history.

Swimming and Rambling
(Actually, the post title is deceiving, because you're getting the rambling before the swimming. But the reverse title wasn't quite as catchy, given the name of this blog. As usual, jump below the asterisks for the real post.)
Last week, the question was asked about whether I had gotten around to watching American Idol yet. This week, I can happily say yes. A few thoughts so far:
• You know how TiVo is supposed to help you watch your shows faster? Well, the first episode may have actually taken me longer than two hours to watch, on account of the number of times I paused the show to comment on how remarkably pretty Jewel is. In a related story, my wife has been controlling the TiVo clicker more often lately.
• When one girl sang the opening verse to "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot, my 5-year-old daughter looked at me and said "Hey – it's the song from the end of Shrek!," and we all had a nice laugh. The next day, one of her kindergarten classmates got in trouble for singing the song on the playground. Sometimes, context is everything.
• It's somehow fitting to have a music video by Chris Daughtry in heavy rotation on VH1 this month, just as Idol is starting again. It's a nice reminder that the best talent probably won't win the show – and, selfishly, it makes me feel justified in that I picked this guy as a star way back at the beginning of last season. Every now and then I get one right.
But here's what I can't figure out: the artist name on both the album and video is simply Daughtry, without his first name. Which means that either: 1) He's trying to go by a single name now, or 2) the whole band is named after him. Unfortunately, neither of these explanations is very encouraging. The first case is nearly impossible to pull off unless you're a rock super-duperstar like Sting or Bono, and the second move is almost universally disastrous.
Does anyone remember Danzig? Or Dokken? How about Winger? I can't think of a single case where a rock band called by the lead singer's last name has prospered. (Note – Van Halen doesn't count. There were two of them, and neither one was the singer.) On the other hand, rockers who use their full names – Jon Bon Jovi, Jimi Hendrix, Rob Zombie, even Courtney Love - frequently do pretty well.
Now, I sorted all of this out in about three minutes – so the idea that some agent is really giving Chris Daughtry career advice like "I'd name the whole band after you – it will be great!" seems unfathomable.
Or maybe that's just me. In case you hadn't noticed, I've been known to overanalyze things. Let's move on to the post …
If you're looking to socialize while training, a swim workout is a lousy place to do it.
Ever since last May, I've been swimming on a somewhat regular basis with a group of 6-8 masters swimmers who meet at midday at the community college pool. We all have jobs to return to in the afternoon, so the group has a very businesslike approach to the workout: we briefly say hi to each other, then jump in and do a few hundred warmup yards, so we can get right to the workout and go our respective ways afterward.
Given the brief time frame, and the very short rest intervals between sets – not to mention the fact that our faces are underwater for 98% of the time – there's very little small talk or goofing around at these workouts. Which, honestly, is just fine by me.
So it took me by surprise at the end of Friday's 2500-yd workout when, as I was preparing to hop out of the pool, four swimmers stayed behind shooting the breeze and laughing. Whether it was the satisfaction from finishing another tough session, or the relief of the work week drawing to a close (or a combination of both), no one was in any apparent hurry to leave the scene. I figured I'd hang around for a few seconds to see what happened.
And when one of the guys said "Hey – want to do some underwaters?", I knew that I had made the right decision.
Throughout my youth, underwater swims were the closing ritual to many swim practices, from the neighborhood grade-school team up to our high school varsity. They were a great way to have fun and challenge our oxygen capacities at the same time.
The task increased in difficulty as I got older: first just swimming across the width, then "cheating" across the length (by getting an additional push off the concrete downslope to the deep end), and finally being able to swim 25 yards underwater on a single breath. Sometimes we'd even push off the wall underwater and continue the other way, but I never made it more than 10 or 15 more yards (a couple of guys I knew could routinely swim 50 yards underwater). There was usually a lot of trash talking and showing off, and the scrutiny of my teammates probably pushed me another 5-10 yards beyond what I'd be able to cover otherwise.
I vividly recall the feeling that my lungs might implode just as I broke the surface on the far side, and I remember the pride of knowing that it was only our excellent fitness that allowed us to play such exhilarating games.
Those swim team practices were a regular feature of my youth. But somehow, in my reincarnation as an adult triathlete, I had forgotten how much fun we had at the end of those workouts, staying in the pool and goofing arounnd after practice, because there wasn't anywhere else we'd rather be. It seemed unbelievable to me last Friday, but I hadn't done underwater repetitions to finish a workout in several years.
So I stayed behind with the others and did four repetitions of 25-yard underwater swims. And in the deep water, as I kicked and pulled like crazy, exhaling in measured, incremental doses, straining for the cross on the far wall, I wasn't a grown-up triathlete anymore. Beneath the surface, I was a child again – goofing around, challenging myself, showing off a little bit, and reveling in the remarkable things that my training enables me to do.
I was having a blast in the pool, just like when I was a kid. When I finally climbed out of the water, I made a mental note to myself: I definitely need to end more workouts that way.

- " The Hostel is located very close to the old city of Split -- about a 10 minute walk (albeit up hill). Despite the price, I would have at least expected someone to be on site at all times, which was not at all true. The front door is usually just left open, so anyone off the street could walk in, and the only key they provide is to your room and locker. I offered to pay several times, only for one guy to say I should pay later, and the other angrily demanding I pay immediately. Rude service. "

News - Afghanistan
At least two people have been killed and five wounded in an attempted suicide attack by two men near a US base in Kabul on Wednesday morning, local officials said.
The incident took place about 8:20 AM local time when two men with suicide bomb vests were shot and killed by Afghan security forces near a US base in Street 14 of the Wazir Akbar Khan district.
Two security guards were killed in the blast when part of one of the suicide vests exploded during the shooting, according to Kabul police chief Gen. Ayub Salangi.
"Two men who was wearing vests were shot and killed by security forces before he could detonate the bomb vest himself. A part of one of the vests exploded with the impact of the shooting, killing two private security guards," he said.
Five civilians were wounded in the blast, including two employees of the Afghan Ministry of Defense who were in a vehicle nearby at the time, Salangi said.
The Ministry of Interior confirmed the incident in a statement and said that two suicide bombers have been shot dead by Afghan security forces before reaching their target.
"Two bombers have been shot dead by security forces before entering a foreign military camp in Street 14 of Wazir Mohammad Akbar Khan in Kabul about 08:00 AM today morning. During the shooting, their explosives detonated," it said.
The neighborhood is home to many high-ranking Afghan officials such as the Chief Justice of the Afghan Supreme Court, as well as international organisations and the US base Camp Eggers.
However, the Kabul police chief said earlier that the target was not clear.
He said that the bomber also carried with him gun and grenade.
The chief of the Kabul police criminal investigation department Gen. Mohammad Zahir has said that the attacker was on foot and was identified by security forces before he could detonate his suicide vest.
Meanwhile, the Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid has claimed responsibility for the attack and said that the target was the US intelligence agency's CIA office.
The attack comes just a few days ahead of the Islamic holy day of Ashura during which Muslims commemorate the seventh century death of Imam Hussein, the Prophet Muhammad's grandson.

Teacher Admissions
Teacher Admissions Personnel will provide the necessary information for admission into Teacher Education and assist students with the steps in the process. Education majors, as well as transfer students who are education majors, are required to attend an orientation meeting in the semester of their first education class. The information provided at the orientation includes a checklist of requirements and the Professional Code of Ethics that must be met, and dates for completion of the admission process and for applying to student teach. In addition, personnel in this office will maintain records of the necessary components. The Office of Admissions will process the application file and recommend students to the Professional Education Council for admission into Teacher Education. A letter of notification will be sent to the students once they are approved. Students will be encouraged to visit this office at least twice a year to evaluate their files and to check the dates for orientation meetings on the web.

Berlin Heights woman charged in fatal crash
If only I could say what I want to. But she is not worth getting the ban hammer over.
The man would likely be alive if he had been driving a car. All the commentators below use cellphones. If the article is correct the young woman is guilty of something everyone does and had the misfotune to have a variety of circumstances misalign. Can't wait for Bike Week.
I turn my cell phone OFF while driving. Who are you to group all as one?
The man would for sure be alive if she hadn't slammed into him so hard she embedded an 800# motorcycle into the front end of her car, then shoved it 90 feet down the road. The "if he had been driving a car" argument is a joke!
Trying to defend her is a ridiculous.
I can't wait for Bike Week either. There will be about 15-20 of us in our little group. And we always have fun!
So you're saying it OK that she killed the guy while texting because everyone does it...right?
Just wanted to make sure I had it right.
@wired. You are one sick individual. Yeah lets blame the innocent guy and his motorcycle.
All of us who live under the Bike Week mentality could wind up in her shoes. If not texting then adjusting the radio, tending to your child, eating a burger... But I assume all of you don't listen to the radio or have passenger while staring straight ahead, hands at 10 and 2, pulling over at the slightest hint of inclement weather.
If he had been in a car he'd be alive and she'd be charged with a fender bender. Motorcyclists should assume the risks not ask for protected status. So yes the dead man bears the responsibility for his death, sorry but he chose to engage in an inherently risky activity.
Would these comments be so vehement if she had killed a bicyclist? No you'd be howling about how bicyclists should not be on the road.
Riding a motorcycle is just sad. Yeah, you are so young, tough, and cool, that you need society to provide you special protection like we do the disabled.
Hopefully the waste of taxpayer dollars known as Bike Week goes out of business soon, or moves to PC or Huron.
Any typos?
Sorry, I do not talk on my phone nor text when I drive. Nothing is so important that it can't wait until I reach my destination.
Ten years hard labor. No mercy for idiots who text while driving.
My thoughts are a tad harsher than that.
Hope those texts were worth it.
She needs to go to prison a long time. Not 2-3 years or 5-8 years. Life for a life. She come out in a pine box at the end of her life.
I will second donutshopguys remarks!!!!
Third that!
Me too!
Is there a fourth available?
i will forth that
Just use common sense!
I had a TX come in last night ater midnight while driving on the Turnpike about ten min before my exit. They just wanted to know if I was back safe, it took less than a minute to pull over after the toll booth and respond.
Now what about the person on the other end of that TX? Are they a little responsible for distracting the driver? I see another law coming or some sort of interlock. The problem is people not the technology!
That is stupid.. That is like saying if someone was drinking and driving and got into an accident the bar should be a little responsible.. Get real..
What's a matter with this system we have in this country??? She was texting while driving, not paying attention and killed someone. And she walks away for 26k? She needs life in prison.
Isnt it called vehicular manslaughter?
A person is charged with involuntary manslaughter when they have inflicted injury upon the victim, which causes the victim's death, but it can be established that the perpetrator did not intend to cause the death of the victim. Negligent homicide, however, is a homicide that occurs as the result of negligent act committed by the perpetrator, resulting in the victim's death. In this case its aggravated due to the texting.
LANDLORD the $26k is just her apperence bond, not the final penalty.
The smug look on her face is too much. Like she didn't do anything wrong.
She's mad cause she got caught texting, that's why she looks like that!
If you kill someone without meaning to, that's an accident. If you intend to kill somebody, that's murder. But if you kill somebody without the intent to kill them, but WHILE DOING SOMETHING YOU KNOW PERFECTLY WELL COULD KILL SOMEBODY, it seems to me that that, too, is as serious as murder. While stupid isn't always a crime, it needs to be when the results are this tragic and irreversible!
The real kicker here is that she knew immediately she was in the wrong. Else why did she delete the messages, eh? Tack on a few extra for that, please, and keep the woman off the roads for a good long time so her stupidity doesn't hurt anybody else!
If she had discharged a firearm and killed someone, without intent, what would be the charge?
Same thing. Gun safety 101: Never point a loaded gun at anything you don't intend to kill. Corollary: Every gun is ALWAYS loaded.
Granted, stupid accidents happen. But they wouldn't happen if the gun wasn't pointed where it ought not to have been! Just as ignorance is no excuse, neither is stupidity.
Remember some years ago the moron in Vermilion (I think) who blew his own head off? Put a gun he THOUGHT wasn't loaded into his mouth and pulled the trigger with his toe? Just like the bumper sticker says, "What are the last words of an idiot? Yo, look what I can do!" At least he didn't kill anybody else...
The only accidental shootings I can think of are dropping a gun which then discharges (very, VERY rare despite what the hoplophobes would have you think), and a shooting by a young child who has no clue what he's doing (and in those cases, it's the adult who should have prevented the kid from getting the gun who should be charged). I know there are a few other examples of true accidents, but you get the idea...

On relief the weekend is over:
"Yeah, I had a lot of friends and family in town. Just a lot of attention that I'm glad is over and we can go to Pittsburgh and finish out the year and get ready for next Friday night back here when the fun is going to start."
On if postseason tune-up for Medlen given atmosphere:
"Yeah had some electricity in the building tonight and Kris threw a great game again. The offense showed up. Big three-run homer by Rossy. But just a great weekend. Would have liked to have swept and given ourselves a little bit better opportunity to kind of make Washington nervous but have got to give some credit to those guys over there. They played a good game first game of the series. We bounced back nicely and got the last two."
On Fredi offering chance for ovations:
"Well, I really wanted to finish the game. I told all the fans via twitter at the beginning of the week that I was going to start every game. I obviously didn't know how things were going to finish but I never want to come out of a game. I want to finish it out and be out there for the handshakes after the game was over. To be honest with you, I saw us winning this game early and I wanted to go give my mom and dad a hug after the game. So if I take myself out of the game I'd be in here watching fantasy football."
On moment with parents:
"I've been fine all weekend. I've been kind of cowboying up all week, trying to hold back the tears, but obviously when it comes full circle and you stand there in front of 50,000 people and tell your mom and dad that you love them and it means a lot to me, to have gone 35-40 years from the backyard in Pierson, Fla. and here we are standing in a big league stadium in Atlanta. And I have my own weekend, that's bringing it full circle. I'm glad that they were able to make it up and share this with me."
On playing a little better in the environment after third day:
"Yeah I tried to ignore it as much as possible just to keep myself into the game. But obviously getting a couple plays there in the first kind of got me into the flow of the game. I got down in the dirt, got dirty and made a couple nice plays that hopefully set the tone for Meds kind of get him off and running. They really didn't threaten that much. The run they scored off him was unearned, so he picked right up where he left off. I seemed to calm down at the plate. I saw the ball a little better. I was swinging at everything all weekend, and trying to hit grand slams every time up. It's just not possible. I just really wanted to see some pitches today and relax and try and go the other way and whatnot and try to get back in somewhat of a groove."
On getting Bourn back in the lineup:
"I think that was big for us, getting Michael back into the swing of things before the posteason gets here. He's our catalyst offensively. We've struggled at the top of the lineup for the last week without him. You see what he means to this offense when he gets back in there and we go out and score six runs."
On Luke Bryan's visit:
"Luke and I have been friends a long time. It's nice during the course of the week T-Mac (Tracy McGrady) from the Hawks came out, Gonzalez from the Falcons came out. I know quite a few singers in the country music industry and Luke and I have shared a deer stand many times so it's an honor that they came out to pay their respects this last weekend."
On the love from the fans:
"Really overwhelming from start to finish. Really the whole homestand itself, especially these last three days. To fill the house with 50,000 people on a rainy, nasty Sunday afternoon, I'm honored, I'm overwhelmed. That last ninth inning it was hard to stay focused on home plate because you had chants everywhere, and I was misty, and I was trying to hold back the tears because I knew that once it was over I was probably going to let loose. So it's been awesome. It's been really awesome. And by the same sense, I'm glad it's over."
On thinking about that kicking dirt around at third in the ninth:
"Let's get the game overwith. I want to win my last regular season home game. There's no better way to go out. That's what it's all about. Certainly there would have been a damper on this day had we not won the ballgame but I think David Ross took care of that pretty early."
On what his parents said back:
"Mom said 'You shouldn't have come over here.' (laughing) She was going to lose it. Pops didn't say anything. I think I've seen my dad have tears in his eyes maybe two or three times my entire life. But if ever there was a situation where it warranted a couple tears, that was probably it."
On dad getting in the cage with him Friday:
"Yeah, I was trying to slow things down and trying to figure out what the heck I've been doing wrong at the plate. (Work never stops?) I've got a job to do I'm not going to stop working just because I've got four games or a handful of games or 15 or 16 games left. The work never stops. I'm dedicated to my job and my craft and that's not going to stop until the end of the season."
On if anticipated Fredi asking if he wanted to come out:
"No I really didn't expect him to ask. I know what he was getting at, but I don't want to disrupt the flow of the game. We'll save all the tipping of the cap and standing ovations for after the game is over. Let's take care of business and finish it off and do all the other stuff later."
On if this weekend was more than ever expected:
"I can't really put it into words. The word that I've been using all week is overwhelming. I don't know if I'm worthy of all this. I have my faults and whatnot but when you've got that much love in the building, you feel like you're 10 feet tall. And when 50,000 people are chanting your name at the same time, that's pretty cool. It makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. I got chill bumps more than a few times today. And as much as I tried to shrug it off and down play it there were a couple times where it was a little too much to handle."
On if saw some of the signs fans were holding:
"It seemed like every sign I looked at had my name on it. I can't thank these peple enough. I said it the other day, it's not just the 40,000 or 50,000 people that are here in the stands. It's the thousands and thousands of people listening on radio and the millions of people watching on TV. They're all a part of Braves country; they're all a part of my family. It's been an honor to try and entertain them for a couple hours each and every night for the last couple decades. My goal every day is to go out and try and do something to lift them out of their seats. All in all it's nice to be appreciated for that."
On the game:
"Obviously it's a huge day. Me personally, sure, why not? But it's overshadowed by Chipper for good reason. His last home game here. It's unbelievable to see the support he gets. I'm really happy for him and happy for his career."
On if this atmosphere helps prepare him for postseason:
"When I'm on the mound, the crowd doesn't really faze me at all, but going out there and all that other stuff, I acknowledge it. I know they're excited, and I'm excited too. But when it comes down to it, when I'm on the mound, I've got to zone in and block all that out."
On what it means to him to set the record:
"I think the best part of about it. My name is in the history books but it's a team thing. They're team wins. I obviously don't do it by myself. My swing is crap, and I'm not going to be scoring any runs. Guys go out and battle for me because they know I'm going to go out and throw strikes and try and execute my pitches. It's been a fun ride, and I don't think we're done."
On Thole foul ball:
"It'd be cool if I turned on it. I was way late. Before I had a chance to look up. I think it hit him in the ear. I think they said it bounced off the wall. I just wanted to make sure he was all right. From the mound I looked over at Ike Davis and asked if he was all right. He said yeah. You don't ever want to hurt anybody in this game, especially after 2011 spring training with (Luis) Salazar. It's just a scary situation. Just happy he's OK."
On if too busy to get chill bumps today:
"No. It was a really cool experience. Coolest experience of my life so far. And it's something I'll remember for sure. But like I said we're not done and hopefully we have a lot more memories to make."
On wanting to get Chipper some chances at third today:
"Well, he's nimble over there. The game's funny. The ball finds you in certain situations. And why wouldn't it go to him?"
On the home run being pretty good homage to Chipper:
"I was just trying to get him in from third. Uggs had a good at-bat and hit a soft line drive to the third baseman. I was just trying to get that run in, and then trying to get the ball up in the air and I did and it went out. I was running around the bases and the crowd was going crazy and I was floating around there. I rounded third and saw Chipper smiling that big. It was a lot of fun. I had a lot of energy coming in that dugout. It was kind of cool just to see how big of a smile he had on his face when I rounded third. I was kidding around early I was going to give him an "I love you' sign if I (homered) but I forgot about it, I was so caught up in the moment."
On being a part of this weekend:
"This is one of the coolest things I've been a part of as a player in my career. He's said it himself to see the love the fans have shown him, the appreciation they've shown him has been, it's almost emotional for me. I can't speak for other guys. But it's like man, how cool is it for a city to show how much love they have for a person and what they've done for a city as a baseball player. it doesn't get any better than that. And I'm sure he would say the same because it was a really cool thing. Tributes from everybody on the screen. I found myself between innings watching the tributes and not watching the pitcher. I got crossed up a couple times in between innings just watching the tributes. That was by far one of the coolest weekends I've been a part of and I'm glad we won today. And the crowd really really helps out."
On Chipper making a couple of nice defensive plays to start:
"He didn't want to come out of the game. I tried to pinch run for him and make a big ovation. Even in the ninth inning, I said 'I'll let you run out there and we'll put a defensive replacement' so he can get a big ovation, and he goes no, I'm going to finish it. That's just the way he is. He's just a baseball player. Good weekend for all that with him. The crowds were outstanding. It was nice. Medlen was terrific. We were able to get some runs, and get Bourny back in there with two knocks. It was a good baseball game today. Avilan was outstanding with two innings today. We didn't want to use Kimbrel there in the ninth inning but we had to."
On approach going to Pittsburgh tomorrow:
"If it's three with three left (the division lead), we've got win that one and see what happens. Make it interesting anyway. But I think tomorrow we'll stay with the plan. I'll check with the Battleax (Chipper), see what he's thinking, but that's six in a row he's played. Maybe give him a breather tomorrow."
On if Bourn changed his mind in the cage this morning:
"We were hoping he could play today. We had to put a lineup up. I told Consanza if Bourny comes in and he hits some balls in the cage and he feels good, we'll make the switch. That's what happened. Bourny felt good, he comes in, he goes 'I'm good.' So that was an easy switch to make. He came in today, two good at-bats, two hits. It was nice to see that."
On what he'll do with Chipper beyond Monday:
"We'll see. These games are important. As long as they continue to be important you've got to juggle his health with the importance of the game. But six in a row, I don't think we've gone seven. For me you're borderline, putting him in a situation where he could get hurt. I've been known to get talked out of those things as you well know with him. But we'll see."
On Medlen coming out after six:
"That's another juggling act. We're in a good situation to keep going forward. We wanted to give him about six innings and we were able to do that. Get the team a win and keep him right where we want him as far as pitch count and innings, so that was a good day."
On if planning to throw him six innings either way:
"It's one of those things you're thinking division but you're also thinking big picture. I'm glad it all worked out the way we planned it. Usually it doesn't."
On Braves winning 23 consecutive starts by Medlen:
"I'm glad to be a part of just watching him. Nothing to do but give him the ball most of the time."

Let's see how Monday goes. Nats not likely to lose 3 in row to Phillies, but it could happen. Could be that Braves and Nats have a one game playoff and Cards-Dodgers have a one game playoff on same day. Not likely, but possible.

Great game for the Braves, a fantastic weekend for Chipper. We were Upper Deck, 24th row, one from the back of the stadium, and still had a great seat. Regardless of the Nats, they're having a great season, and leaving September in style. Much love to #10, he rocked it for 19 years.

I should probably know this, but what happens if the Braves win out and the Nats lose out and they have the same record? Would there be a one-game tiebreaker on Thursday, or would the Nats get the division based on them having a winning record against the Braves?

Here is an inetesting tidbit, at least to me. Everytime MLB expands the playoffs, the Braves are involved. In 1969, the league expanded to the NLCS and ALCS, and the Braves lost in the NLCS to the Mets. In 1995, MLB added the divisional series, and we know the good guys won it all. And now, the Braves in all likelihood will participate in the Wild Card in its first year.
Not sure what this means, but hopefully, the result will be similar to the one in 1995.
October 1st, 2012
10:32 am
Congratulations to Chipper.
Most importantly– Medlen is super, Bourn is back, the Braves won another series against the Mets and the offense looked better.

Here is an additional note to the tidbit referenced above. The divisional series was supposed to take place in the strike-shortened year of 1994. The Braves were on track that year to get the sole wild card birth. Anyway, enough of my trip down memory lane.

With all the emotions, I am surprised that Chipper could have hit a basketball. All the references to Medlen and Doggie, they are two entirely different styles of pitchers but time will tell. Medlen could very well be almost as good as Doggie.

"Keep the stadium warm cause we'll be right back to take on the Cards and do a little pay back for that smart crack one dummy made about "after we finish off the Braves!" LOL"
The Braves seem to be positioned favorably to take the other WC team and move on. But most fans understand how unpredictable a 1-game series can be in baseball. I don't like the format at all and thought, initially, that it was a joke when I first heard about it. MLB wanted more to play for late in the season and they also concluded that no WC team necessarily deserves to move on. So MLB doesn't care if it seems a bit primitive.

Manager Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week - interviewed at Deloitte in August 2010.
The process was pretty quick, probably driven by the need for urgency in filling up the position.
First (phone) interview was with the recruiter, about 20 minutes regarding background, reason why I was looking, etc,
Second (phone) interview was with the director, very high level without going into technical details (normally expected)
Third (in-person) interview was with 2 people (Sr. Manager and Director) also very high-level and more perfunctory.
- Why are you leaving your current employer if you are so happy with them? View Answer

As I recall, there were four interviews in all.Negotiation DetailsI had a salary expectation that I set forth based on my prior history. They came in slightly below what I requested.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months - interviewed at Deloitte.Interview Details
Standard phone screen then a Director,Partner, and Senior Manager. One case study which was easy and the rest were experience and behavioral question. Interviews were approximately 30-45 minutes a piece and based in their NYC downtown location. Case study was given by the partner. My partner was a change management partner. My director was a FSI industry hire. I was called back by the recruiter at lunch time to let me know all the feedback was positive and they would be moving forward with an offer.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsStubborn. They are not providing signing bonuses anymore. Also, salary was low ball and not willing to move. They took the stance that if you want to work with us you will take less which in my opinion does not set you up for the long haul. I think this is why Deloitte is having such a difficult time finding quality managers and senior managers.Accepted OfferEasy Interview

Military Tuition
In-state and Out-of-state Tuition Rates
Active duty service members based in North Carolina, and their family members, are eligible for in-state tuition rates.
All additional fees are waived for GoArmyEd students.
Tuition Assistance
Active duty soldiers are eligible for Military Tuition Assistance. However, the Department of Defense has placed certain requirements and restrictions on TA. You cannot get TA for a course that you have previously taken and if you have an Associate Degree, they do not pay for other courses at that level unless it is job related.
For more information regarding your tuition assistance benefits, visit GoArmyEd.com or contact your Education Center Counselor.
Effective October 1, 2002, tuition assistance covers 100% of the tuition costs, up to $250.00 per semester hour or $4500.00 annually.
Family Members
Family members may not use Military Tuition Assistance. Service members eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill may be able to transfer benefits to a spouse or dependent children. Additionally, family members of a deceased Active Duty Service Member or Retired Veteran may be eligible for certain dependent benefits. If you fall into this category you should contact the Veterans Affairs Office nearest you to make a claim.
Using Tuition Assistance and Federal Financial Aid
It is possible to use TA and Federal Financial Aid at the same time. However, keep in mind that both are Federal Programs and neither program is designed to cover all of your expenses. Each quarter we provide the Army Education Center a list of students using both TA and Pell Grant funds. After a review by the Army Education Center, it is possible that you could be asked to pay back Tuition Assistance if they feel it is in excess of schooling costs.
Tuition Assistance is provided and monitored through the GoArmyEd portal. For more information, call
678-1050/1053 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

once my sister got rejected for a job at a web design company that she really wanted to work for so that night she...
McKayla's next injury is gonna be from one of Simone's hugs, just watch.
Ragan Smith at the 2014 US Classic
Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel
Speaking their lines vs the final product
Why is Vin Diesel looking down? Is he worried he's gonna forget his line?
Vin Diesel asked the director his inspiration for every line he did and did multiple takes until he was satisfied. He also recorded the line over 1,000 times and also recorded his lines in Mandarin, Portuguese, French, and Spanish so they could use his real voice in those versions. He's looking at his lines because Vin Diesel is a dedicated motherfucking professional.
Vin Diesel made you fall in love with a character who said 4 words. The CGI brought his words to visual life, but they'd be meaningless without his amazing command of voice.
Basically vin Diesel had the challenge of:
"OK, this is the message you're trying to convey"
"But you can only ONLY say I am Groot"
Because every time Groot says "I am Groot" he means something and vin Diesel had to convey that message as best he could with only those 3 words through inflection, emphasis, and emotion.
And this was his first job after suddenly losing one of his closest friends.

Account Management. "At the entry level, an account coordinator, administrative assistant, or assistant account executive ensures that ads move smoothly through the execution process. Occasionally, these jobs include some competitive analysis and assistance in client meetings or on ad shoots. Past the entry level, an account executive handles all aspects of an account—from planning to implementation. Account executives determine a client's needs and coordinate with other departments to ensure they are met. From there, you can move on to become an account manager, account supervisor, management supervisor, vice president, and eventually, director."
Media. "Some agencies will start you as a media assistant, a largely clerical position. From there, you'll move to assistant media planner, where you'll analyze consumer habits and evaluate content to determine where an ad is most likely to get the target audience's attention (think beer ads during the Super Bowl). Assistant media buyers purchase airtime and advertising space and ensure that ads appear as scheduled. From the assistant level, the career trajectory progresses to media planner or buyer, senior media planner or buyer, media supervisor, vice president, and director."
Account Planning. "Most people move into account planning laterally as junior account planners or are hired from account planning departments in other agencies. Account planners try to quantify and qualify what makes people tick—and analyze mountains of data in the process—by conducting focus groups and researching things such as why teens like one kind of soft drink more than another. If you do well, you can advance rapidly to senior account planner, vice president, and director."
Creative Services. "Creative career tracks require a book of sample ads. You might take an assistant position in a creative department while putting together your book. Entry-level creative positions are called junior positions: A junior copywriter assists a senior copywriter in writing copy and scripts for ads; a junior art director helps an art director develop visual concepts and designs for ads. Copywriters and art directors work together as partners to come up with strong ideas to carry out a client's strategy."
Production. "The closer you are to entry level in the production department, the more your work will consist of grunt layout tasks. As you move up, you'll have increasing say in design issues. Production generally has the most contact with account management and creative, and it can be a good path to other careers in advertising. If you're a young graphic artist, this is a good place to learn about advertising and get to know people who can advise you on getting a book together."
•Success stories
Look around where you work for those who have progressed through the organization or in other organizations first. Talk to them about their goals, why they made the decisions they did, and what they learned from the process. There are books, blogs and articles about people who have "made it" in business in general and specifically in advertising. The Harvard Business School pocket-sized paperback Managing Your Career: Straight Talk From the World's Top Business Leaders, includes tips from business leaders about everything from carefully planning predictable job pathways to looking for inspiration and ideas in unexpected places and pursuing personal interests to broaden your horizons.
•Asking questions, noting patterns and de-constructing plans
--If you don't have it already, ask your supervisor or HR for career progression information they have specific to the agency. Ask someone to explain it to you and give you examples.
--Scope out a position you may want in the company and get support to determine the steps and skills you need to get there. Arrange to talk to a person who is currently in that position.
--Talk to your boss and your boss's boss: Minority executive head-hunter and author Kenneth Roldan advises multicultural employees to take deliberate steps to investigate a successful path to their next job position within or outside of a company. Talking to one's supervisors, and even their supervisors, about how they attained their current positions can go a long way in highlighting how one should groom for that specific success.
•The non-linear path
The book How to Succeed in Advertising When All You Have is Talent by Laurence Minsky, includes career path stories of successful art directors, copy writers and agency heads. One chapter chronicles the progression of African-American agency head Tom Burrell from an aptitude test in school, to mail room worker, to taking time off to travel, and later starting his own agency. All along the way Burrell made note of his own successes and failures, those of his co-workers and employers, and the lessons he learned from those experiences. Among the advice he has about career mapping is to consider the "circuitous" rather than the linear route, especially in the creative side of advertising.
So many times, it seems that serendipity, sometimes called luck or chance, plays a role in the directions our lives may take. Many times the successful "careerpreneurs," as Sylvia Gaffney calls them, create opportunities for themselves that might be considered lucky or serendipitous, but actually are the result of their constant curiosity for knowledge and quest to expand their horizons.
•Making your goals known
Another of Tom Burrell's tips for how to succeed in advertising involves "broadcasting" your goals and plans, and then doing what you say you plan to do. According to Burrell, if you are truly committed to following through on your career goals, you should make them public, and in doing so you are not only communicating that you have a plan and the resolve to achieve it, but you are also allowing others to help you achieve your goals.

RUSSELLVILLE, AL (WAFF) - What deputies originally investigated as a suicide is now a homicide.
35-year-old Jason Dewayne Green of Russellville was arrested and charged with killing his girlfriend 27-year-old Shay Nicole Ledlow.
Ledlow was found shot to death in the couple's home on Oak Hills Drive Friday night. Authorities say Green shot Ledlow in the head with a .44 magnum handgun.
Authorities also say Green initially called 9-1-1 and reported Ledlow had committed suicide, but evidence suggests otherwise.
Court records show that Green was arrested in December on domestic violence charges. He's out of jail on a $400,000 bond.

WASHINGTON — Lace Davis, director of the sustainability office for the General Services Administration (GSA), announced that moving forward, GSA will require all projects to achieve a LEED Gold certification level from through the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification system of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), according to the Washington Business Journal.
The announcement occurred at the Green Legal Matters conference in New Orleans on October 15, the article noted.
According to the article, Davis indicated that the LEED Gold certifications will only apply on GSA-owned projects.
The buzz amongst others at the conference indicated there are some open questions regarding how GSA will address leasing and LEED certifications, particularly regarding renewals, the article stated.
Given the significant role GSA plays with respect to both new construction and leasing in this region, GSA''s planned changes moving forward are likely to shape the commercial landscape moving forward in the D.C. area, the article added.

Yamana Gold shares suffer after earnings miss
That doesn't mean you should snap up the stock, however. It's tough to call a bottom for mining stocks.
Worst, though, is a huge increase in cash costs of 31% year-to-year, due in good part to falling prices for the copper that Yamana produces as a "byproduct" of its gold mining activity.
These stocks are caught in a vise of lower gold and copper prices and rising production costs. I think Wednesday's price of $11.39 on Yamana Gold is a reasonable price for adding to positions. However, I certainly would leave myself some room in any portfolio allocation to Yamana, in case gold goes lower. Adding pluses and minus, I guess that makes me neutral on buying the stock here. One thing I'd like to see is the near-term results of Yamana's efforts to cut production costs by $100 an ounce by mid-2013 and $150 an ounce by the end of the year. If I saw signs of success in that endeavor, I'd go from neutral to buy.
Relatively low costs. The all in cost of $856 per ounce of gold gives Yamana a solid profit margin, even at current gold prices. The by-product cash cost is a low $383 an ounce.
