Mad Mad March!
This space...this space needs to hold more. A couple of days ago, I watched Alexander, the movie, again...hmmm..Alexander, the *GREAT*. Why Great? Was he great because he ruled over three of the most literate civilisations of that time. Pen, Sword, Might and all that. The power of media will transcend the ages. That and Ho-Hos. One thing that struck me was how he was acting like his father. I have always maintained that we will all eventually become our parents. The more we loathed them in our youth, the more the chances of us mirroring their souls. We become our parents because we want to forgive them. Inside some dark sticky corner of all our hearts is a sad eyed child who wants to be loved by the frames that carry the loins they sprung from...Surely, we must have been loved or we wouldnt exist. Our existence needs to come from a bright and love filled place. But often, most souls are birthed from rape or drunken lust. And the etchings never fade. Those marks never really go away. You will see them in the slovenly, the broken ones, the haggard, in the swagger, as the hunched ones...the hungry and the insatiable ones. Everyone has a story. and so it goes..

Valley Green Bank opens 3rd area office in Radnor
by Joel Hoffmann
Valley Green Bank this week will expand its reach into the Delaware Valley with a new regional office that will specialize in lending to commercial and industrial clients.
Bob Marino, a banker with 26 years experience, will lead a Radnor-based team of National Penn Bank transplants that has already developed a strong relationship with large businesses in the region.
"A small bank gives us the opportunity to make our clients big fish in a small pond," Marino said in a phone interview on Monday, adding that his team's business model represented a perfect "complement" to Valley Green's small-business-oriented loan portfolio.
TREE TIME The Mt. Airy Business Association and Green in Chestnut Hill (GRINCH) held their first annual Christmas tree recycling effort at Allens Lane Art Center. More than 260 trees were saved from landfills and made into mulch that will be ready for use this spring at the art center. A few recyclers left after dropping off their own trees and went to collect others that they saw along the streets.

A program that changed students' lives
by Joel Hoffmann
When I started college in August 2000, I was, for lack of a better word, directionless. I was presumably moving forward with my life, but like most freshmen who weren't groomed from age 2 to be a professional golfer or a U.S. senator, my plans for the future were either wildly contrived or laughably vague.

N-D Correspondent
The Carroll County Board of Education got a boost for its plans to add needed space to overflowing schools.
Joe Nance, a fiscal consultant said he believed the board would be able to proceed with a $10 million project, and likely could get additional funding.
He said the board's bonding (or borrowing) potential is $5.8 million. Added to the $4 million set aside for building projects, the district is in a good position to proceed on a project.
The Owen County Rebels and the Carroll County Panthers met on the gridiron last Friday night, and the Panthers came out on top, 21-7.
Playing on their home field, the Panthers took control early with an interception by Cody Boles; Panther Zach Wise then scored with 8:45 left on the clock in the first quarter.
The point after by Josh Kates was good, and the Panthers were off with a 7-0 lead.
Senior quarterback Casey Cable worked hard on both sides of the ball as he broke up plays and threw with precision.
This past weekend, the 18-9 Carroll County High School Lady Panthers headed into the All-A state tournament.
They fell Friday to Metcalfe County, 25-22 and 27-25; they went on to put up a good fight, but still lost to Allen Central in three games, 25-20 (Allen), 19-25 (Carroll) and 25-18 (Allen).
Their luck didn't change Saturday, and they lost to Saint Patrick, 25-18 and 25-14, then putting Raceland through their paces. Raceland came out the winner, taking two of three games for the match.
Regular season ends
"Let's get going!"
After waiting more than three years for her chance to hike the Grand Canyon, 22-year-old Sarah Service wanted to get moving. Now.
The Lexington Catholic Invitational looked more like an October state cross country championship than a normal Saturday race.
Nine of the top ten ranked teams in Class A along with four top teams from Class AA division toed to the line this past Saturday morning in Lexington at the Kentucky Horse Park, home of the Kentucky State Cross Country Championship.
GHENT, Ky. – The Ghent City Commission met in special session Thursday, Oct. 9, to decide on a variance request by Gary and Cheryl Nohner.
By the end of the meeting, they discovered they had no jurisdiction in the matter.
An attorney for a property owners Wayne and Diane Young cited in the Kentucky Revised Statutes that as a legislative body, the commission can only enact zoning and land-use ordinances.
(Editor's note: The story published in the Oct. 15 issue of The News-Democrat incorrectly indicated that Carroll County Coroner David Wilhoite and KSP Trooper Ryan Gosser said they suspect Tommy Jones Jr.'s death was drug-related. In fact, authorities are unsure of any cause of death. The tests ordered are required, Wilhoite said, when a young person with no prior history of medical history dies suddenly. We regret the error and will run a correction in the Oct. 22 issue.)
Some say you can tell how well a future varsity club will do in the future based on how well the underclassman perform. If that is true, the future of Trimble County volleyball is looking excellent because of the young ladies of the freshman team.
This season's youngest Trimble County High School Raider team consisted of six freshmen - Sarah Caswell, Mckenzie Dunlap, Courtney Modesty, Sara Kuner, Jayde Snelling and Kindra Wittaker.
Have an opinion about the future of the Milton-Madison Bridge? Tell it to your neighbor.
Another step in the Milton-Madison Bridge project was taken last week when members of the newly formed Project Advisory Group, PAG, met for the first time on Oct. 9 at the Brown Memorial Gymnasium in Madison, Indiana.
The meeting outlined what was to be expected of PAG members and how the PAG process would work.
Trimble County students were out of classes this week because of fall break. But while everyone, including the high school's football team, was enjoying the break, the fun had to end sometime.
Little did everyone know it would come to a screeching halt just before 8 p.m. Friday night.
That was when the Raiders hosted the fourth-ranked Frankfort Panthers in a district match that ended with a crushing 6-56 loss for the home team.

Pretty much everything Paul Lukas writes for Uni Watch is a can't miss but I found his latest article, "The White Sox fan-fueled unis", particularly interesting. In it Lukas covers the 1981 fan voted uniform makeover of the Chicago White Sox. It's the kind of article that I wish I had the time and talent to write.
And that is how a 25-year-old who had no particular interest in the White Sox, and who'd never designed a uniform before, ended up creating one of the most iconic uniforms of the past generation. His name is Richard Launius, and this is his story. It's also the story of a team's playful, almost quaint approach to its visual design program — an approach that would never fly in today's more corporate-style sports world.
It's an entertaining and quick read. The idea that Chicago White Sox once wore jersey's with open collars is unbelievable. And that they sometimes wore them with shorts pushes it over the top. If there weren't photos you would have a tough time convincing me it was true.
Just imagine the impact this would have made if the uniforms were, you know, good instead of only becoming cool 30 years...

Take the "Kids Not Cuts" pledge
I pledge to speak up for America's kids by urging Congress to make the right choices to support public education and working families.
Sequestration is hurting students and communities right now. Those cuts mean $3 billion has already been slashed from federal education spending. In real terms, the cuts mean kids packed into overcrowded classrooms, fewer services for special education students and four-year-olds cheated out of early childhood education.
Some in Congress want to lock in those cuts for another year. Instead of more cuts to vital services Americans depend on, like schools, health care and job training, we need a good deal — one that protects what's important to me, my family and my community.
By signing this pledge, I am signaling my commitment to hold my members of Congress accountable.
Sign the pledge by filling out the form below. All sections except for "Text Messages" are required. After signing the pledge, you will be redirected to a new page where you can find data on what cuts are expected to education programs as well as a break down by state.
Disclaimer: We do not share the information you've given us with unaffiliated groups without your explicit permission. We will not make any of your information publicly available, but we may transmit it to members of Congress and to the President as part of a petition. Education Votes will send you updates on this and other important campaigns by email. If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from our email list, you may do so.

Gon is a manga, set in a different setting every time, that allows the creator to draw absolutely breathtaking Scenery Porn on nearly every page.The main character, Gon, is a diminutive Tyrannosaurus rex who was forgotten by time. Unlike certain other creatures, Gon is a Silent Protagonist. In fact, despite there being no humans whatsoever, and a notable amount of communication occurring in every story, there is absolutely no dialogue whatsoever, by any of the animal characters.Gon is also a stalwart Determinator, who can be sent crashing through a tree with no harm done — to him. Whatever just attacked, though won't end up unscathed.Typically, each story tells of Gon encountering some more modern animal species, how the individuals react to him, and for those where he's sticking up for the weaker, he uses their natural abilities with his own brute strength for some rather unique battles. Examples include a ball of hedgehogs rolling over an assaulting dingo (Gon acting as propulsion) and the dinosaur using a kangaroo's pouch to give a kick some extra wallop.For some reason, he appeared as a hidden character in Tekken 3. We're still not sure what to make of that, besides the fact that he's utterly Game Breaking (despite being considerably weaker than in the manga).A 50 episode CGI series premiered in Japan on April 2, 2012. A kid friendly video game and a manga aimed at a younger age set will accompany this new series. Fans of the old school Gon aren't completely left out, thankfully: as the original manga is set to continue in March in the seinen magazine Kodansha Afternoon.
This series provides examples of the following:

Top Tables
The first three rules of real estate—location, location, location—also are good guidelines when dining out
Posted on
January 4, 2011
Elizabeth Evans
We all know a bad restaurant table when we see it: a lopsided slab crammed into a dark, noisy corner in front of a busy service bay or the kitchen's swinging doors. If you want the best dining experience, you have to know the best seat in the house. Ask for a specific table by number; there are no guarantees, but good restaurants will make every effort to honor your request. It's worth snagging the perfect table when you're celebrating a special birthday or want to impress a client. Here are prime tables for just about every occasion.

Determined to avoid military men since the death of her husband overseas, widow Chrissie Evans nevertheless falls in love with her next-door neighbor, Captain Ray Hughes, a single dad. Home on leave from the war, Ray must care for his young son all alone and welcomes Chrissie's help. In A Soldier Comes Home (3), Cindi Myers' dialogue is nicely depicted, but the pacing is off. The story moves too slowly at times and too quickly at others. While it takes Ray and Chrissie a long time to get together, they break up and then solve their problems very fast.

Fred Nicole
Björn Pohl - UKC, Nov 2011
© Chuck Fryberger (video still)
In this excerpt from Chuck Fryberger's "Core", the grand master of bouldering, Fred Nicole, gives us his view on bouldering, what motivates him and why he came to be where he is today.
We also get to see him climb L'isola che non c'e (The island which doesn't exist), a boulder route in a cave near Amden is Switzerland which he made the first ascent of a couple of years ago.
Fred didn't give the problem/route any grade, but says it's somewhere in the 9th (route) grade.

Robin Roberts will not re-join the "Good Morning America" staff until May at the earliest, and more probably June, 2013 ... TMZ has learned.
Multiple sources connected to the show and the anchor tell TMZ ... Robin's medical issues make an earlier return way too risky, because her immune system is extremely weak.
We're told doctors are pleased with her progress and say she's right on schedule, but that schedule puts her on the bench for 5 or 6 months ... something she's not crazy about but realizes is necessary.
Sources at GMA tell us ... the honchos are hoping that Robin can return as early as February, but we know that's not in the cards.
And speaking of cards ... we're told they're coming in by the truckload -- cards, emails, etc, wishing her well. GMA honchos believe Robin's return will boost ratings for the show even higher, which can become problematic for the struggling "Today" show.
I wish Robin a healthy New Year and a speedy recovery! can't wait for GMA to kick some MORE Today Show A$$!!!
I hope she makes a full recovery. Our prayers are with her and her family.
She was the only professional on the show. The rest of them are clowns. I switched to CBS in the morning after Robin was on leave. Not much better but at least the anchors aren't clowns.
Good Luck with your recovery and return when you are able to enjoy good health!
Get Well Soon! Stay strong, much luv to you and your family! Happy New Year Beautiful Lady!
Robin get well soon we all miss u very much!!!!!!
I'd like to know how Robin Quivers is doing, any updates with her mystery illness, TMZ? Will she return to the studio this week for a love Stern show?
Wishing her well and fast. Can't GMA big wheels, let her go on camera thru skype and do spots until she can come back. At least she would be on tv and GMA audiences would be very happy
I don't want to be a schmuck or anything but I suspect someone is really milking this situation.
Her picture and stories are on a lot of sites and I can't think of who might be releasing all this stuff.
ABC - why?
GMA - ratings? Once again - Why?
That leaves her. The "Oh don't forget about me" angle. IMO I would want to be alone. Especially coming from a woman.
Sorry but I gotta call it like I see it.
Still, I wish her a speedy recovery.
Well of course, I wish her good heath but I really really hate heron GMA. She isn't warm or feminine enough. You can also let that Josh and lara go. And NO KATIE COURIC EVER. I watch it cause I hate the today show but I'm still not loving it. If Today gets their act together, I'll be watching them again.
TV execs suck. All they care about is ratings. If they have to wait too long for her to return, they will probably fire her.
I'm not religious, but, am really sending good thoughts to Robin. It's hard to see her face as she looks in rough shape. My husband survived stage 3 cancer 6 yrs. ago and .... well, he looked very similar. Sadly, he was killed in a plane crash the following year. I pray for Robin.
Take as long as you need. We will wait for you
GMA can't sustain whatever they have going. Wish the Today show would start turning the corner. I'm a fan in pain.
Robin, The best is wished to you in the New year. You are an inspriation. Your spirit through your challenges is amazing. I eagerly await your return, and if May or June or July is the best time I hope the higher ups reazlie you are worth waiting for. God Bless.

"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle."

Teotihuacan Pyramids and Shrine of Guadalupe
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Teotihuacan Pyramids and Shrine of Guadalupe. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
I think that there is nothing better than meeting new people on these tours. I was traveing with my nephew and because of our tour we were able to make a few friends who later ended up hanging out with us when we got back to the city. The tour was great, they take you to see some cool stuff before the actual pyramids. I will have to say that the only thing I disliked was that they take you to a few tourist traps. One was a jewlry/souvenier shop and the other was a rock sculpture souvenier shop. But you are in know way forced to buy anything, I didn't yet I still had 4 free shots of Twquila and Mezcal. Once you do get to the pyramids you will be amazed!!! This was a great tour, the guides were excellent. If you are in Mexico City this tour is a must!
The tour guide, Francisco, was just phenomenal. He was very knowledgable of the sites, and spoke english excellent.
gooooooooood :)
Frank, our tour guide was friendly, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable. He brought this ancient sight to life with his passion for the history and the people of Teotihuacan. He did the same at the Shrine of Guadalupe. The silver store where we stopped had beautifully hand-crafted jewelry and no-pressure salespeople. We also stopped at a shop that offered ceramics, jewelry, clothing, sculpture and a variety of cactus-alcohol - educational and fun. All-in-all we had an amazing day and would recommend this tour for those wanting to know as much as possible about these ancient and sacred sites.
Awesome tour. Great tour guide and I got lucky and had a great group of people as well. Very memorable day.
Incredible tour , and the guide Frank has a great knowledge about the history.
We had a fantastic day trip on this tour. It was really enjoyable and very informative. It was a lot more than we were expecting. Thanks for the experience.
This was my second time to use Viator to take a tour with my first one being in Spain. I arrived in Mexico City on a 5 am flight and hopped on this tour that started at 9 am. There was a mixup with which hotel to pick me up but they sent a separate car to pick me up at the correct hotel and then I joined the group. In addition to seeing the Pyramids you also see an area of Aztec ruins in downtown Mexico City, The Virgin of Guadalupe and local crafts, meet Aztec doggies and a do a tequila tasting and then enjoy a delicious meal afterwards. I highly recommend it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the sites and history involved.
An excellent trip. We got so much more than I'd expected. Not only the Teotihuacan Pyramids and the Shrine but also a visit to the 3-cultures site, a silver-smiths, as well as visit to see some rare Mexican dogs, learn a little bit about Agave, taste Tequilla's and see some beautiful sculptures. Our guide was informative, friendly and approachable, all-in-all a day that exceeded my expectations. Great value for money!
This tour was amazing! There were seven other travelers, 2 from Australia, 3 from Mexico (Cabo San Lucas) and 2 from New York City. The tour operators, Mildred and Martin were very friendly and very knowledgeable. I was picked up at the JW Marriott in Polanco right on time. On our way to pick up the other tourists, we stopped to take pictures of various things, such as the Angel of Independence Shrine. Our first "real" stop at Tlatelolco and the St. James Church included an unexpected addition to our tour, an EARTHQUAKE! Fortunately for us, the 7.2 quake was centered 170 miles southwest of us. People streamed out of buildings and things were swaying, which made it a touch scary for a moment but things went back to normal as people realized there was no immediate damage and we continued on our way. We stopped for a 15 minute discussion from Mildred and then we continued on to Teotihuacan. It took about an hour to get to the pyramid complex. First, we stopped at a market. I liked the stop, which included tequila tasting although the vendors are very pushy. After about 45 minutes or so at this marketplace, we finally got to the the Teotihuacan site. It of course was amazing. There were long lines but it was worth it. Again, Mildred filled us in on all sorts of information about the site. We stayed for a few hours, then we left for the included lunch, which was at a restaurant right outside the compound. The lunch was excellent. It was buffet-style and the food was outstanding. You are responsible for drinks, however but they are reasonably priced. Finally, after a thunderstorm, Martin navigated some back streets and got us to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The complex once again was amazing. It rained again but it was refreshing. It was nice to visit on Good Friday! I cannot recommend this tour enough. Martin and Mildred are as friendly as anyone I have ever met and the price is right; you should GO!
Our tour guide was nice and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend taking this tour if your visiting Mexico City.
Frank was excellent!! The President of France was in town touring the pyramids and the park was closed to the public. We were a little worried that we would not be able to climb them. Frank had a backup plan for any situation. He gave us a tour of the museum as we waited for the president to leave. We also toured an archeological site in the city, which we didn't expect. Frank was so informative and this was our favorite part of the tour. We learned so much! I highly recommend this tour and Frank is awesome!
This was one of my husbands dream places to go and Frank was a great guide! Frank gave us a lot of information and made the trip enjoyable, he made sure we had a break and water and we even stopped and ate lunch. He was very personal and would recommend him for all tours. Thank you Frank!
Excellent tour.
This is great tour for the price. The tour guide and driver from Olympus Tour were very good.
This tour was excellent in every way, thanks, mostly to a wonderful tour guide, Francisco. He has a passion for his work which translates into so much knowledge, insight and explanantions which go far beyond an ordinary experience. I truly felt like I had gone back in time to the ancient Mayan and Aztec cultures with his insightful comments. The itinerary is wonderful and we explored much more than is listed, including a silverssmith demo and shop, and a semi-precious jewel shop, both of which give opportunities to understand the wonderful things that this part of Mexico has to offer. Don't miss this trip!!

Ayinger Bräuweisse : Braueri Aying, Germany : 5.1% ABV
Full disclosure: I just got in from snowblowing our alley for the second time, so a warm High Life Lite would taste good right now.
But wow, I have seriously overlooked German hefeweizens. I'll be dedicating most of this month to remedying that.
Kelpie Seaweed Ale : Williams Brothers Brewing, Scotland : 4.4% ABV
Color me a bit surprised. I was expecting some bizarre or at least pronounced flavors here, but what I got was a pretty inoffensive light stout with a tiny hint of saltiness, some vague chocolate maltiness and some bubbly carbonation. Not great, but not bad. Just kind of there.
Text on the bottle:
Prior to the 1850s many Scottish coastal alehouses brewed their own ales using local malted barley grown on fields fertilised with seaweed. We have recreated the unique flavor of this traditional ale with the inclusion of fresh seaweed, Bladder Rack, which is taken fresh from the water of the Argyll coast and mashed it in with teh malted and roasted barley
It's almost #feBREWary!
FeBREWary is right around the corner.
I was JUST thinking that. No lie.
I've got a couple of bottles in my fridge that I've been saving…

Zunerama has a great FAQ on Zune's new subscription model of Zune Pass + 10 free songs to keep per month. Inspired by the FAQ and in part by an email conversation with some friends (thanks Mike), I thought I would contribute a few thoughts by walking myself (and by proxy you) through the process of using these new credits on two albums in the Zune Marketplace and seeing where we end up.
With a DRM-Free Album
Lets start with the album "Christmas on Mars," by The Flaming Lips. I have heard of the band but I have never listened to them.
We can tell this album is DRM free by noting the 'MP3' symbol next to the 'Buy' button. This is what it will look like to an individual without Zune Pass. Now, lets sign into an account that has Zune pass.
See how all the 'Buy' links change to 'Download?' That means this album is available through Zune Pass. Note how the 'MP3' symbol is now preceded by "Purchase Available." Now, what happens when we click one of the download buttons?
There is a dialog box telling us our options. I'll choose the download option, and that should result in me getting a DRM'd WMA file.
Indeed, such is the case. I now have a WMA file @ 192kbps that expires on 12/17/2008.
You'll see that the track appears under my subscription history. Now, lets get that same track via the credit option.
Right clicking on the first track and selecting the 'Buy' option while that track is already in my collection brings up this screen with a note about how purchasing this song will go toward my 10 song credit limit. I'm sure that clicking the buy button at this point will indeed purchase the track, just like a Zune Freebie. But what if I hadn't first added the track via Zune Pass? Lets go back to that screen by deleting the track to see what happens that way.
The one step you missed was me removing the track from my collection and choosing to 'delete the file and remove from my collection.' Remembering the 'Song Credit Available' window three pictures above, I clicked 'Use Credit' instead of 'Download.' Now I own 'Once Beyond Hopelessness,' I hope I like the track.
Noting the file location and DRM status, I now own a 256kbps Mp3 track.
You'll see the purchased song appears under my purchase history along with two other tracks my brother purchased.
A quick file comparison.
Part 2 will include a walk through with a DRM'ed album.

I do exactly this, because the fan on our frontend/backend is loud enough to be distracting when transcoding HD recordings during prime time. (And WAF dictates that we want to watch TV then.) Myth starts processing job 2 at 19:49, and will finish this job. The next one won't execute until exactly 23:10, and the machine starts churning throughout the night...

There was very little editing done, so expect some raw content.A man is almost cut in half.A woman almost falls off a ride.24/50 13+

Comments about Treeditions 40" Cherry Raddle:
Full order well packaged. Arrived quickly and undamaged.
I would like a raddle that has textured spikes so slippery fiber would remain on the spikes without slipping off before being tied down with string. I'm not sure this exists.
The raddle wood is quite beautiful and well made.

Because The Buttercup Chain was made in 1970, it holds a bit more interest than it would had it been made a decade before or after. At this point in time, American films were very much in a transition, as filmmakers tried to come to grips with changes in both the social/cultural fabric of the United States and recent technological advances. As a result, many movies were made that, while they were really not particularly good movies, have a certain fascination because of their reflection of the times; they seem to "imprint" their filmmakers' personalities onto them, often unconsciously. This is the case with Buttercup, a film which at heart is nothing more than a tedious soap opera, but which is presented in a very 1970's time-shifting mode and which features trendy camera angles and fairly generous amounts of flesh (for a non-pornographic movie). It gets more than a bit precious and pretentious, with all sorts of empty spouting about meanings of life, etc., and none of it is very persuasive. But the general atmosphere does have a certain fascination. The cast is amiable but not outstanding; certainly, they can't make the arch and often annoying dialogue ring true. Definitely not a very good film, Buttercup is still worth a look for those who like soap opera and are ready for having it presented in a slightly different fashion.

Given the slew of recent IPOs, where does Cramer stand on some of these new stocks, now? Are they still buys or too high?» Read More
If you think the sharp declines in the market were all about Alibaba and Yahoo!, Cramer thinks you're missing something critical.
A prominent Wall Street equity index firm says it's trying to help investors profit from environmentally conscious holdings.
Economists say the greenback is gaining strength based on confidence in the U.S. economy, and potentially higher rates.
For the first time in more than two years, the small-cap index has hit a so-called death cross.
Stocks fall across the globe amid growth fears. Commodities and emerging markets are among the biggest losers.

A new wave of IPOs is building, and will answer the market's question of whether there's life after Alibaba's massive offering.
The Tiger Management founder believes that even though "the economy is getting better," there are dangers stirring beneath the surface.
Alibaba Group has reportedly sold additional shares of the company, making the listing of the Chinese e-commerce firm the biggest in history.
For investors, the necessary takeaway of recent actions is that conditions are about to change.
It's back to business next week. Time to get your game face on! Cramer's got several plays and your name is all over them.

Title: Contrasted Penalized Integrative Analysis
Abstract: Single-dataset analysis of high-throughput omics data often leads to unsatisfactory results. The integrative analysis of heterogeneous raw data from multiple independent studies provides an effective way to increase sample size and improve marker selection results. In integrative analysis, the regression coefficient matrix has certain structures. In our study, we use group penalization for one- or two-dimensional marker selection and introduce contrast penalties to accommodate the subtle coefficient structures.
Simulations show that the proposed methods have significantly improved marker selection properties. In the analysis of cancer genomic data, important markers missed by the existing methods are identified.

Two of These Three Firms Have a Lock on Emerging Markets
Phillip is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
While the developing world hasn't shown the type of prosperity many economists predicted, no one said that growth would happen overnight. So despite the recent stagnant growth in these nations, it is still important for consumer goods companies to establish their footing now in order to realize the massive profits that will come when these economies really gain momentum.
Estee Lauder is already profiting in Africa
Estee Lauder Companies (NYSE: EL) isn't just saying that it is going to reap the benefits of a growing middle class in developing nations; the company is actually doing it. It expanded to Lagos in 2012, and management has noted the successful transition. That has given the firm confidence to expand throughout Africa, specifically in Nigeria and Mozambique this year. The ability to thrive in Lagos tells me that the firm has what it takes to profit in the developing world.
If makeup catches on in these areas, which it appears to be doing, expect massive growth in the years ahead. Being the first to market in these nations gives Estee Lauder a ton of potential profits, at least in the next few years. Expect other firms to join the party after they see the company's success, however. That will eat away at market share, but it will take a while for other firms to be able to open up shop due to transitory lag.
Analysts see the move as a source of major gains. Revenue is expected to increase 4.9% this year and 6.3% next year. Earnings per share is pegged to rise 15% this year and 13% next year. Those estimates are within reason, but I expect the year-over-year revenue growth will only be possible if other firms don't consume some of the company's market share in developing nations.
Avon has stumbled out of the gate
Avon Products (NYSE: AVP) has not been as successful as Estee Lauder at international expansion, as evidenced by sluggish revenue in the nations it has attempted to spread to. The company's approach has been different, and this has likely led to lower sales. The firm's unsuccessful asset-light approach tells me that it needs to make adjustments if it wants to prosper in the future. That could include heavier investments in these nations, creating a lot of risk for shareholders due to the potential of decreasing margins.
The mistakes that the company has made in marketing to the developing world will likely harm the brand. This could prevent profits even if the firm does decide to take a more aggressive asset-rich approach in these countries. The company's struggling operational execution will be hard to overcome, as brand loyalty isn't strong right now, according to Morningstar.
Analysts anticipate the firm's revenue will suffer this year, decreasing by 3.3% before rising 2.3% next year. Earnings per share, however, is pegged to rise 29% this year and 22% next year. The difference in revenue and earnings per share could be due to lower operating expenses.
Colgate-Palmolive looks to prove itself again
Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE: CL) is the type of stock to own for a very long time. The company's management has always been stellar, and that means it will likely continue to invest in brands that people keep around. Its businesses will never really fade, as people will continually need to clean their homes and teeth. The company's products continue to drive profits forward, and the quality and affordability of those products will keep customers loyal. The company is managing to accomplish this in the developed world as well, and it is now gaining footing in the emerging markets.
While Colgate-Palmolive is already in nearly every household in the developed world, it will realize enormous profits as the developing world increases its disposable income. While living in Costa Rica, I noticed that many of the cleaning supplies there were made by Colgate-Palmolive. The company kept my armpits fresh and toilet seat shimmering, and it will do so for others in the developing world as well.
Analysts see moderate growth ahead. The firm is set to increase revenue by 2.6% this year and 5% next year. That translates into a 5.5% increase in earnings per share this year and a 10% increase next year. With developing world economies poised to spike, however, I think those estimates are relatively conservative.
Final take on these stocks
Estee Lauder is certainly the most attractive makeup firm due to its ability to capitalize in the developing world. While it is early to tell whether Avon will be able to manage its international expansion, stumbling out of the starting gate doesn't help matters. Finally, I think Colgate-Palmolive has the capital to support moving its successful business model out of the developed world and into emerging markets. Brand loyalty is perhaps maximized domestically, but things are just getting started elsewhere.

Coffee and Health: Pregnancy and Diabetes
Is coffee inherently a dangerous substance, and should caffeine be stripped from our diets? There are some who say yes, and others who ignore all that. We are true coffee addicts and would be hard-pressed to give it up, but we are always interested in new data on caffeine.
So we couldn't avoid the two health alerts in the last week about coffee. The first is about diabetes and the other is a warning to pregnant women.
UK researchers announced results of a study that shows coffee may raise blood sugar in diabetics. The effect that they found was especially pronounced in the evenings. The key element of course is the caffeine; does cutting caffeine help control blood sugar levels? The researchers feel that more research is necessary to say conclusively, but there may be a correlation.
In other caffeine-related news, a study was released a week ago that ties increased rates of miscarriage and pregnancy issues to caffeine consumption. It is fairly standard in the West for pregnant women to completely go off caffeine, or to stick to decaf coffee, which has a small amount of caffeine. This study bolsters that accepted wisdom. Even though the data is not completely unambiguous, it supports again that in coffee and caffeine, like most other things, moderation is key.
We're not giving up our coffee any time soon, but we did switch from 2 or 3 cups of drip brew coffee to one small, rich cup of French press in the mornings.

There is also research that suggests caffeine can boost metabolism and facilitate breathing in asthmatics. As in all food and drink, I think moderation is key.
I absolutely find that coffee does increase my blood sugar... quite a bummer, for a coffee-lovin girl with diabetes! Glad to finally see a scientific study that coroborates my experience
At ottan; Agreed. I'm an asthmatic and when having a minor attack a hot cup of coffee/tea can help soothe and promote breathing.
Meh. The pregnancy-related info isn't new. The standard-issue advice is that a pregnant woman shouldn't exceed two cups of coffee per day. And excessive caffeine consumption in the first trimester has been linked to a slightly higher risk of miscarriage for a while now. As ottan said, it's all about moderation.
Scare headlines like this are irritating. People rarely read the full article, but they still consider themselves "informed" enough to lecture pregnant women -- who DO tend to read the full article -- about their habits.
caffeine does elevate hormonal levels, which are tied to blood sugar levels/glucose tolerance. As a person with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) who, by virtue of having this disorder, is predispositioned to developing type II diabetes, i have been warned to moderate or eliminate caffeine from my diet, as it causes fluctuations in my hormonal levels, and thus my blood sugar, which means zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. just thought i'd share. :)
I gave up coffee completely for my first trimester but now that I'm 4 months, I look forward to having my coffee again. I have one cup a day, if even that and I've become very very choosy about my coffee because I don't want to waste my one cup on a crappy coffee. :) And like everyone else said, everything in moderation.

The Promise and Problems of Pricing Carbon: Theory and Experience
AbstractBecause of the global commons nature of climate change, international cooperation among nations will likely be necessary for meaningful action at the global level. At the same time, it will inevitably be up to the actions of sovereign nations to put in place policies that bring about meaningful reductions in the emissions of greenhouse gases. Due to the ubiquity and diversity of emissions of greenhouse gases in most economies, as well as the variation in abatement costs among individual sources, conventional environmental policy approaches, such as uniform technology and performance standards, are unlikely to be sufficient to the task. Therefore, attention has increasingly turned to market-based instruments in the form of carbon-pricing mechanisms. We examine the opportunities and challenges associated with the major options for carbon pricing: carbon taxes, cap-and-trade, emission reduction credits, clean energy standards, and fossil fuel subsidy reductions.

Tybee Island has eight
confirmed loggerhead sea turtle nests, and volunteers from the Tybee Sea Turtle
Project are monitoring the nests.
They're asking for your
help in keeping the turtles safe.
If you're out on the
beach, be sure to pick up your trash, fill in your holes and knock down your
sand castles when you leave.
They said turtles can be
scared away or even fall into holes when they come ashore to lay eggs. Another
important thing to consider is lighting.
"People want to carry
flashlights," said Tybee Sea Turtle Project Coordinator Tammy Smith. "You don't
really need them. It's bright enough out and the flashlights will deter our sea
turtles from nesting, and it also affects if babies are emerging, heading
toward the water, so we encourage no flashlights at the beach. If you're
staying near, close your blinds from the hotel or condo windows because the
lights from TV screens, computer screens casts as shadow on the beach, so if
you can help keep the windows closed, it helps keep the beach darker."
The turtles will be nesting
through mid-August.

If you own any available rental properties in the affected, and surrounding, areas and would like us to post your listings on this resource, please email that information to email@example.com. It's our goal to help every displaced family put another roof over their heads.
