12:08-- Well, it turns out trusting experts using actual math worked better than relying on your gut. Yesterday I wrote that "332 seems plausible" and it looks like that's what it's going to be. A couple of take-aways: Romney lost Hispanics by something like 40 points. With blacks and Hispanics together constituting almost a fourth of the electorate, that was just too much for Romney to overcome. Republicans kept insisting that the electorate would not look like 2008, but it largely did. It's not just because the Obama campaign organized well. The Republicans have spent the past four years insulting minorities in about every way imaginable, not to mention trying to suppress their vote. So when Obama said voting is the best revenge, he was right, and the Republicans are reaping the bitter fruit of their anti-minority policies and rhetoric.
10:40-- 15% is in in Iowa and Obama is matching his 2008 totals in his important counties. It's not going to be close. Meanwhile, though Nevada hasn't reported anything yet, 70% of the vote was done before today and the Democrats built up a large lead. If we assume, as I think we safely can, that Iowa and Nevada go to Obama, check out this handy dandy calculator that shows the remaining possibilities. There are 32. Obama wins in 31 of them. So...yes, Romney does have a chance!
10:27-- Some perspective: the only true swing state that has been called thus far is New Hampshire. Everything else is still too close. That said, Romney has to win nearly everything that is currently too close to call, and Obama is winning in most of them.
9:28-- The night is slipping away from Romney. With states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin being called so soon after the polls closed, it indicates that the polls were right. So Romney's main hope for victory has been dashed. Now he must hope for the even more implausible idea that the polls in an arbitrary set of battleground states he needs to win were systematically wrong while being right elsewhere. Not likely.
8:47-- According to the exit polls, more voters blame Bush for the economy than Obama. This is encouraging. It says our memories are not as short as Mitt Romney would like to believe. He should have run against Obama and Bush.
8:28-- The results being reported from Richmond, Virginia cannot be correct. Multiple sites are saying Romney's up 58%-41% in Richmond! Obama took 80% of the vote there four years ago, and Tim Kaine, the Dem senate candidate, is taking 87% now. There's no way Kaine is at 87% while Obama is at 41%. Presumably this will be corrected as the night goes on.
8:21-- Still very early in Virginia, but it's not looking good for Romney so far. In many counties his numbers are looking very similar to McCain's four years ago.
7:15-- Very interesting anecdotal experience here in Ohio. In theory Alicia and I are voters that the Romney campaign should be going after. We're white, married, evangelical, live in a suburb, and we voted for John McCain in 2008. On the other hand, the Obama campaign shouldn't give up on us because we're young and we voted Democratic in the 2010 midterms. But the interactions we've had with the two campaigns could not be more different. The only contact from the Romney campaign has been in the form of mailers and robocalls. No human contact at all. In contrast, we got a call months ago from a live Obama volunteer asking us if we were planning to vote. Then this week we woke up to find pamphlets on our door showing us the voting times and address for our exact precinct, along with a handwritten note. Then, just a few minutes ago, about half an hour before the polls close here in Ohio, a volunteer came to our door to make sure we had voted.
Romney supporters better hope our experience is not at all representative. I considered the possibility that the Romney campaign had somehow weeded us out early on and that's why we weren't contacted. But why send all the mailers and robocalls then? From my little perspective here in northeast Ohio, Obama's vaunted ground game appears legit.
More to come as the night goes on.

Fresh peach puree makes all the difference. I plan on using this receipe with other fruits, season permitting. What a wonderful way to top off a quick box cake mix. Only thing I found was that it took about 4 fresh peaches instead of 1 in order to aquire 8oz's.
mominPA Posted: 08/31/10
I tried it looking for a peach tasting frosting and was not impressed. I used 2 large peaches and added extra sugar because it was so thin and it only tasted like powdered sugar. It also made way more than I planned on and now I'm not sure what to do with it. I won't make this again.

Gallup: 47% of Americans Who Oppose Same-Sex Marriage Cite the Bible or Religion
This should surprise no one that people believing in God would reject homosexuality, because God rejects homosexuality and they oppose gay marriage because God said marriage was only between opposite the gender, one man to one woman, becoming before Him as one flesh. Yet, most liberals and atheists of course, while I see little difference between them, want gay marriage BECAUSE they want to destroy faith in God and make America over into a modern Soviet Union, with all faith in God being considered treason against the godless State.
Yes, the majority of Americans after decades of liberal/atheist indoctrination are supportive of homosexual rights and gay marriage. Yes, America is increasingly godless and secular humanist, again after decades of liberal/atheist indoctrination. Who knows what the Supreme Court will decide in the California case. I suspect after the Obamacare debacle that, there is a high chance gay marriage, will be a mushy decision and will overturn the votes of the people in 31 states to allow only heterosexual marriage.
These are all signs of the wicked times when evil will reign over the whole earth, but it was a bad bargain, homosexuality and gay marriage rather than eternal life and being blessed by God.
A new survey by Gallup shows that religion or the Bible is a major factor behind opposition to same-sex marriage.
The poll found that 47 percent of people who oppose two men or two women marrying: cited "Religion" or that the "Bible says it is wrong" as explanations for why they oppose the legalization of same-sex marriage.
Asked the question — "What are some of the reasons you oppose same-sex marriage?" –about 20 percent said that marriage should be between one man and one woman.
Another 16 percent of those who opposed legal same-sex marriage opposed it because they thought marriage should be between a man and woman—as opposed to believing in the Bible or some other factor.
Only 5 percent of those who opposed legal same-sex marriages said was "unnatural" or "against the laws of nature." Likewise, 5 percent said that it undermines "traditional family structure."
Six percent said that civil unions are sufficient.
All told, Gallup said, seven in 10 weekly church attenders don't support legal same-sex marriage – and that seven and 10 people who seldom attend church support same-sex marriage.

Adobe Flash Player 10 - Adobe Launches Flash Player 10 Beta
Adobe has released today the newest version of its popular Flash Player, Flash 10 (Code named project "Astro") in beta testing mode. The upgrade is one of the most visually advanced and is the first version of Flash to support hardware acceleration from graphics chipsets.
The previous version and current public release, Flash 9, was the first to support H.264.
There are a ton of new features being offered with this release and it is clear that Adobe is working hard to ensure that the Flash Player's dominance over competitors like Microsoft Silverlight and JavaFX continues. Adobe does, however, claim a greater than 98% market share dominance.
One new feature of this new version is that it allows the option of variable-bitrate video that automatically drops quality to maintain constant playback.
Other features include a wide range of motion graphics and effects:
- Adobe Pixel Bender - This is very cool. You can create your own filters, blend modes, and fills.
- 3D Effects is a new feature added which allows users to create simple, fully interactive 3D animations. It is extremely fast and easy to use.
- Advanced Text Layout - A new, highly flexible text layout engine, co-existing with TextField, enables innovation in creating new text controls by providing low-level access to text offering right-to-left and vertical text layout, plus support for typographic elements like ligatures.
- Enhanced Drawing API - Runtime drawing is easier and more powerful with re-styleable properties, 3D APIs, and a new way of drawing sophisticated shapes without having to code them line by line.
Flash Player 10 will run on Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Mac OS X and Linux. It will not, however, support Mac OS 10
Adobe said that some of the new features in Flash Player 10 will ultimately be incorporated into a future release of Adobe AIR and the Open Screen Project, Adobe's movement to create industry consensus around Flash-based technologies for mobile devices.
Hopefully, the developer tools will be coming soon so that the Flex/Flash/AIR developer community can really dig in and give it a go.
Adobe expects to ship a final version of Flash Player 10 later this year, and also plans for the new features to find their way into AIR in a future release.

"First initial?
"Last four of your social?"
For the month of January, this was often the extent of the conversations I would have with clients who visited the mobile unit of the Cleveland Free Clinic's Syringe Exchange Program (SEP). As limited as that may appear, put to paper, the clients, advocates, and mentees who stopped by the van in their conversations with my site supervisors (and occasionally with me), humbled me in their cheer, gratitude for care, kindness, and a non-judgmental ear. By the end of my month-long volunteer experience, my aspirations had changed. In thinking of my future, my thoughts turned to the people I had interacted with, and what they had taught me.
I had had little understanding of or engagement in harm reduction programming prior to my January experience. Harm reduction purports meeting a need where it currently stands. It is the belief that a person does not need to end or necessarily change behaviors that may be illegal, harmful, or both, but that rather the behavior they engage in can be made safer. In the case of syringe exchange, injection drug users can be given access to clean needles and other tools (and in some more progressive areas, even the pure form of the drug itself*) in exchange for used materials. In this way, needle sharing can be reduced and, with it, the incidence of illnesses caused by bloodborne pathogens.** Though the original Free Clinic, which operated out of a rental house in 1970, has since been replaced with a larger building to accommodate the community's growing needs, the door of that original clinic still hangs within. Cheerfully painted in a "righteous, hippie way," it stands testament to the unwavering mission of the clinic that healthcare is a right, not a privilege.
So what did I learn?
Everyone is human. Everyone has the same basic needs. Respect should be accorded to all. Compassion and genuine engagement are more valued than may be conceivable, and people, for as much as they differ or as little as you have in common with them, are nothing to fear.
While I came into my volunteer work hesitant about myself and my future, I left it with the strong belief that I wanted to fight for everyone that I had interacted with. Currently, that belief is guiding me to pursue the area of primary care for at risk populations, but I'm still in the process of figuring out if being a physician is necessarily the best way for me to make an impact in the way I desire.
In that way, I still find myself struggling with various aspects of my experience. I feel as though I have yet to really appreciate them completely. Above all, I still wonder what has happened to the people I have met, from the young mother with her toddler, to the elderly wife in the suburbs, to the mute man with the kind smile.
*There are safe injection sites in Canada. At these clinics, pure heroin can be purchased and clean materials are provided to injection drug users. Nurse practitioners are present to prevent self-endangerment. The availability of pure heroin for purchase drives away interest from purchasing cut heroin on the streets, which carries with it the risk of arterial blockages.

Faith Calls
For more than a decade, Perkins School of Theology has invested in the lives of youth through the Perkins Youth School of Theology (PYST) and Hispanic Youth Leadership Academy (HYLA). These programs were designed to foster an interest in young people for theological learning and inquiry, and nurture Christian youth in their vocational discernment and leadership development.
The success of these programs laid a foundation for theological education with youth at Perkins, and in fall 2013 Perkins launched "Faith Calls: Theological Programs for Young People," merging the work of PYST and HYLA into a single initiative. With the creation of this new initiative Perkins will expand its work in theological education with young people.
The objectives of Faith Calls, operating under the aegis of the Office of Advanced Ministerial Studies, are four-pronged:
• Faith Exploration – Offer youth and college-age young
people opportunities to deeply explore their faith questions and
theological curiosities through study, dialogue, and reflection.
• Faithful Practices – Invite youth and college-age young
people to participate in faith practices of prayer, service, worship,
and discernment to help them connect to the God's presence and activity
in the world.
• Faithful Witness – Encourage youth and college-age young
people to seek out opportunities for service where they discover and
utilize their gifts for ministry and become grounded in an identity
which expresses their Christian witness.
• Faithful Leaders – Partner with church and community leaders and organizations that will support young people in their leadership development.
Faith calls us in different ways!

Tight ends continue to make a difference in fantasy football every week. While Jimmy Graham was on his bye week, Rob Gronkowski returned, and the show was stolen by Jordan Reed. Reed is a great pickup option, to be sure, but there are other options if you don't have the waiver priority to land him.
Here are my top 5 options avilable in over half of ESPN leagues. The ESPN ownership percentage is in parentheses for each selection and all scoring references are to ESPN standard scoring. If your league scores differently, adjust accordingly.
If you have a team-specific question drop it in the comments at the bottom of the page or find me @ZT_Sports on twitter, and I'll do my best to help you out with your roster calls.
1. Jordan Reed-Washington Redskins (4.0%)
Reed went off last week for 134 yards and a touchdown on nine catches against the Bears. Reed has been targeted all season, so as long as he can stay on the field he should stay a big part of Washington's passing attack. Robert Griffin III looks like he's rounding into form which should keep Reed fantasy relevant for the rest of the season which is even more valuable since they're past their bye. Reed and the 'Skins will need plenty of offense to offset their defensive deficiencies, so look for big production going forward.
2. Heath Miller-Pittsburgh Steelers (21.7%)
Miller found the endzone for the first time this season last week in his fourth game of the season. He and Big Ben have a great connection and he'll get plenty of passes thrown his way most weeks. His opponents this week, the Raiders, have been good against the tight end, but Miller is still a great long-term option based on his track record of fantasy production.
3. Charles Clay-Miami Dolphins (43.6%)
Clay has a longer and more consistent track record, but only had one catch last week. Fortunately for Clay's owners, it was a touchdown catch so he still turned in a solid number. Clay has found the end zone in four of his last five games and continues to be a big part of Ryan Tannehill's passing attack. This week he faces the Patriots defense which has been ravaged by injury, but has still managed to perform pretty well.
4. Coby Fleener-Indianapolis Colts (31.0%)
Fleener has been growing into the tight end role in the Colts offense since Dwayne Allen's season-ending injury, and now he may be asked to step into an even bigger role with Reggie Wayne also suffering a season-ending injury. Fleener hasn't had many big yardage games, but he has been a target in the red zone and has the potential to be a low-end TE1 in the right matchups. This week, he's not on option since the Colts are on a bye, but he's a good pickup if you need help later in the season with bye weeks.
5. Rob Housler-Arizona Cardinals (0.5%)
A deep sleeper, Housler had his best game of the season against the Seahawks last Thursday catching seven passes for 53 yards. He got some preseason buzz as a sleeper since he's in an offense that should give him opportunities, but he had struggled with injury early in the season. The last two weeks he's totaled 11 catches for 85 yards, but there's lots of potential if you need an option in your ultra-deep league.
This list of TE's is part of my weekly waiver wire focus. If you need further help constructing your team, check out my top ten waiver wire picks of the week as well as my top waiver targets at each of the following positions: QB, RB, WR, D/ST.

Exploring Desert Stone
John N. Macomb's 1859 Expedition to the Canyonlands of the Colorado
Exploring Desert Stone is the first detailed investigation of the 1859 Macomb Expedition into western Colorado and the canyon country of Utah.
The confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers, now in Canyonlands National Park, near popular tourist destination Moab, still cannot be reached or viewed easily. Much of the surrounding region remained remote and rarely visited for decades after settlement of other parts of the West. The first U.S. government expedition to explore the canyon country and the Four Corners area was led by John Macomb of the army's topographical engineers.
The soldiers and scientists followed in part the Old Spanish Trail, whose location they documented and verified. Seeking to find the confluence of the Colorado and the Green and looking for alternative routes into Utah, which was of particular interest in the wake of the Utah War, they produced a substantial documentary record, most of which is published for the first time in this volume. Theirs is also the first detailed map of the region, and it is published in Exploring Desert Stone, as well.

At the beginning of his lecture, "Creating Meaning out of Everyday Experience," Schuster told the group that "a calling does not have to be all about work." In fact, Schuster used several everyday examples of people with a calling that did not have to do with a job or a career.
The first example Schuster used was his mother, who, at age 87, had assumed her role as the matriarch of the family and was taking the whole family on a cruise to Alaska in June.
Schuster explained that a calling, rather than simply dealing with career and money, answers the personal question: "What am I supposed to face courageously today?"
He showed the group a short video clip of Jethro Man, who fixes bikes and lends them to neighborhood kids. Man, motivated by his bikeless childhood, finds satisfaction in doing this service for the children of his neighborhood.
Schuster invited the group to have small group discussions about the clip and Mr. Mans "calling," and then mediated a larger group discussion. Many of the comments about Mr. Man reflected the simplicity and beauty of his actions.
Schuster used Mr. Man to make a point: "All callings have to have a degree of self-fulfillment." Not everyone has genius or extraordinary talent, Schuster explained, but people need to use the talent they have to fulfill their calling.
Furthermore, Schuster told the group that talents should not only benefit the talented, but should also benefit others, as in the case of Mr. Man.
"We have an obligation to develop gifts and give them away to the world," Schuster said.
Another aspect of a calling is finding meaning in the small tasks people have to do on a day-to-day basis, thereby making them meaningful. He gave the example of a shoeshine whom he had met at the OHare Airport in Chicago.
Schuster explained that David, the shoeshine, had made his menial task of shining shoes meaningful because he was doing it to work his way through college and on to graduate school. And because Davids job had purpose, he shared his excitement with a customer, the then-young Schuster.
When one audience member asked if burning passion was a requirement for a calling, Schuster used the example of Frodo from "The Lord of the Rings." He explained how Frodo did not necessarily want the ring or the momentous duty, but knew that it was his calling. Quoting Frodo in the movie, he said, "I will take the ring, though I do not know the way."
He explained that a calling should have at least moments of passion, if not even moments of suffering, and again should benefit others, all to give the calling meaning.
Emphasizing the point of meaning, Schuster quoted George Bernard Shaw: "This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one & I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can."
Finally, Schuster showed the group a chart developed by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, which showed that if high skills met a high challenge, everything would "flow." The key is finding something that challenges ones skills, he said.
Schuster closed with poetry and a challenge to find not only an activity that makes one self-fulfilled, but also that will be a benefit to others, and to give it meaning.
Students in the audience found the lecture inspirational and provocative.
"The biggest thing that I take away is that calling is the way you live every aspect of your lifethe way you make what you do your passion and allow your talents to shine at all times," Laura Barnard 07 said.
Schuster is the author of "Answering Your Call: A Guide to Living Your Deepest Purpose," among other books. His lecture was sponsored by St. Olafs Lilly Program and the Center for Experiential Learning.

Pinellas County Sheriff's Office
Inspections Bureau
-Administrative Investigations Division
Chad Everett Nikolic (Arrested)
Address: 2001 2nd Street St., St. Petersburg
Arrested for Perjury in an Official Proceeding and Filing a False Police Report of Commission of Crimes.
Deputies assigned to the Sheriff's Administrative Investigations Division have arrested a former inmate for Perjury and Filing a False Report after he provided a sworn, court reported statement to the Sheriff's Administrative Investigative Division (AID) in which he falsely alleged he was battered by a Detention Deputy and a Detention Sergeant at the Pinellas County Jail. The suspect alleged the incident occurred at the Pinellas County Jail following his arrest for disorderly intoxication by the St. Petersburg Police Department on October 7, 2012.
The suspect was arrested on April 1, 2013.
The false report and sworn testimony was taken on October 30, 2012.
The testimony was taken at the Sheriff's Administration Building located at 10750 Ulmerton Road in Largo.
According to investigators, 31-year-old Chad Everett Nikolic provided a sworn, court reported statement to the Sheriff's AID in which he alleged that after being handcuffed and shackled he was left to sit in a holding cell. He stated that a Detention Sergeant and Deputy entered the cell and committed a battery against him.
According to investigators, while under oath, Nikolic alleged that the detention deputies picked him up off the bench, spun him around facing the wall, bent him over and ran his head into the wall. He further stated the detention deputies grabbed him by his feet, picked him up by his feet, held his feet against the wall and held him upside down on top of his head.
An investigation was conducted into Nikolic's allegations. Another deputy, testified that he was able to see the Sergeant in the holding cell the entire time; and that at no time did he witness the Sergeant have any physical contact with Nikolic. He further testified he never saw the detention deputy physically approach Nikolic. A Pinellas County Jail nurse who examined Nikolic immediately after the alleged incident and two hours later- also testified that she checked his head and ankles for injuries and found none.
Deputies say following his release from jail, Nikolic went to a local hospital and attempted to have a doctor diagnose him with a concussion. The doctor found no evidence of a concussion.
Through their investigation and the evidence found in this case, deputies determined that Nikolic lied in his testimony and falsely accused the detention deputies of battery. Nikolic was arrested for the above listed charges on April 1, 2013 and transported to the Pinellas County Jail without further incident.
The investigation continues.

New Workplace Options Absence Tracking Helps Businesses Mitigate Missed Work
Jon Weiner
RALEIGH, October 06, 2010 Workplace Options, a leading global provider of work-life benefits and employee support services, today announced Workforce Advantage Absence Tracking, a new employee absence tracking tool for businesses seeking to reduce unplanned absences and manage employee productivity. Adding to the companys robust catalogue of services, the tool will be available through Workplace Options Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) partners.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, American businesses lose an average of 2.8 million work days each year due to unplanned absences. These absences cost U.S. employers more than $74 billion . In addition, a Mercer/Marsh survey on health, productivity and absence management reported that unplanned absences caused a 54 percent decrease in productivity/output and a 39 percent drop in sales and customer service .
As companies focus on cost-cutting measures to survive the economic downturn, more organizations are examining the impact absences have on their workforce and the bottom line.
Absenteeism has an even wider impact on businesses than the cost of lost productivity, said Alan King, president and chief operating officer at Workplace Options. When an employee has an unplanned absence, workflow is disrupted and additional work often lands in the laps of colleagues, resulting in disgruntled staff. Customer service and teamwork can also suffer.
Reports indicate that simply having an absence tracking tool in place can decrease the rate of absences. Implementing a tracking tool helps companies manage and control absences so that absences dont manage and control their businesses, added King.
Designed to integrate with a companys EAP programs and other benefits, the Workplace Options tool is available free of any additional charge to Advantage Work-Life customers. Clients can use the web-based application to track and review employee absence trends and identify opportunities to proactively support their staff when problematic absences arise.
Integrating the absence tracking tool with an organizations EAP solution provides the opportunity for management to identify absences of a certain nature, and connect staff with the appropriate EAP service to help. For example, if an employee reports multiple absences related to stress, dependent care or even a sore back, the organization can refer the employee to services that company has purchased to help resolve the issue.
Introducing employee absence tracking as an integrated service for our clients is a natural addition to our world-class employee support because it offers an added layer of support for businesses, said Dean Debnam, chief executive officer at Workplace Options. Our EAP partners services are all about improving satisfaction and work-life balance for employees while improving productivity and retention for companies. Tracking and analyzing absences not only helps keep employees on the job, it keeps employees connected to the right support resources. Its a terrific, proactive management solution and were excited to see what cost-savings and productivity results it will bring our clients.
Workplace Options is the first work-life provider to offer absence tracking to EAPs as an integrated service at no additional charge. The employee absence tracking solution is available immediately as an integrated service and can be customized to suit each individual organization. For more information on Workforce Advantage Absence Tracking or other products and services offered by Workplace Options, visit www.workplaceoptions.com or call 800-699-8011. #*

AQR Capital's Cheap Stock Picks Include Apple
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
There are several ways for retail investors to use the information in quarterly 13F filings from hedge funds for their own gain. For one, we at Insider Monkey have found that the most popular small-cap stocks among hedge funds earn an average excess return of 18 percentage points per year and we think more strategies are possible as well.
Another technique is to look at top picks of different managers- not to imitate them, but to use their ideas similarly to a stock screen as a list of free ideas. We can also combine hedge fund ownership with other criteria, such as low price-to-earnings multiples. Read on for our brief thoughts on five stocks that Cliff Asness of AQR Capital Management owned at the beginning of January with both trailing and forward P/Es of 10 or lower, or see the full list of Asness's stock picks.
The fund's top pick was Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL); even with many hedge funds selling the stock, causing Apple to lose its place as the most popular stock among hedge funds during Q4.
AQR actually added a small number of shares, and had about 520,000 shares at the end of 2012. Apple experienced flat earnings in its most recent quarter compared to the same period in the previous year (with one less week in the quarter) and currently trades at 10 times trailing earnings as the market expects a decline in net income.
AQR reported owning 4.4 million shares of JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012. In terms of the book value of its equity, JPMorgan Chase is essentially fairly valued with a P/B ratio just below 1. The earnings multiples are also low despite the fact that the bank has been reporting large increases in revenue and earnings (and has the London Whale incident to contend with in its trailing numbers). Banks in general look cheap and we'd be interested in comparing JPMorgan Chase to peers, such as Wells Fargo.
Asness and his team cut their stake in Chevron (NYSE: CVX) by 10%, but the oil major was still one of the hedge fund's top stock picks. Chevron carries trailing and forward P/Es of 9 and 10, respectively, as large energy companies- like large banks- are generally trading at low earnings multiples.
As with JPMorgan Chase, it's of course possible that some of Chevron's peers are better buys, even those which are slightly more expensive on an earnings basis. The stock pays a dividend yield of 3%, lower than BP's but competitive with many similar companies.
The 13F disclosed that the fund had increased its holdings of CF Industries (NYSE: CF), a $12 billion market cap fertilizer company, by 70% to a total of about 570,000 shares. In the fourth quarter of 2012, CF's net income increased versus a year earlier despite a 14% decline in revenue; that's impressive, though we're cautious on whether earnings growth can be sustained. Analyst consensus implies a forward P/E of 8. Over the longer term, CF may benefit from increased agriculture demand.
Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) rounds out our list of cheap stocks that AQR owned at the end of 2012. The aerospace-and-defense company would be expected to see a decline in business as a result of cuts to U.S. military spending, though it's possible that it would be able to cut costs, as well.
Northrop Grumman trades at 9 times earnings, whether we consider trailing results or projections for 2014, and this is in line with the multiples of its industry peers. There is a significant dividend yield here as well, at 3.2%, though we'd note that Lockheed Martin's yield is 5%.
Overall, these cheap stocks all look worthy of at least some further research. Northrop Grumman and Apple are trading at low multiples due to concerns about their developing business conditions- and in the case of Apple in particular we aren't quite ready to write off the days of earnings growth.
JPMorgan Chase and Chevron are certainly good value prospects, though we aren't sure they're better than their peers (we'd note that ExxonMobil and Wells Fargo are two more of AQR's largest holdings, but are just outside the valuation criteria we set.) CF is also worth looking into, though with that company we would want to be thinking longer-term and of course reviewing its peers as well.

Reviews for Cream Eye Shadow
By RMS Beauty
Average rating: 4.2 out of 5 hearts
By E on October 28, 2013
Loving the Solar shade on my fair face. Very easy to apply (makeup minimalist here) and is a great warm golden shimmer. Works well to sparkle up lips too, as is suggested.. very creamy consistency!
By Ash on June 24, 2013
Good liner when paired with minerals
This review is specifically for Karma. It's super easy to great a wet liquid liner look with Karma, but you need to apply a mineral/powder shadow underneath. For me, if I were only to apply Karma, even as a liner, I would end up with a bit of a mess, i.e., the line would stamp itself onto my top lid. Having a powder base gives it something to hold onto and prevents smudging. If I follow this advice, it's easy to use and I love the effect. I have been having success combining it with Alima Pure shadows.

super easy application
I really like this eye shadow. It's super easy & quick to apply. I'm looking to get some more colours in this. A little goes a long way, don't cake it on.
By Patricia on July 18, 2012
These shadows ROCK.
Myth is the greatest color for brown eyes. It is bronze and warm and glorious. Use on blue or green eyes as well. The best! so soft an easy to apply, make it more intense for evening by putting 'karma' on as a liner. Very cool. Well done Rose-Marie.
By Patricia on July 11, 2012
easy to use, easy to transport - good for you!!
RMS is so easy to use. I wish it lasted a bit longer, but I am so pleased with the colors, ease of use, and purity of the products! Plus, the small jars travel sooo well, re-applying is not a big issue. I was fortunate to have Rosemary (the creator) do my makeup in NYC and she is such a believer in only putting the best ingredients on your skin and into your body. She is truly inspiring and really motivated me to clean out my makeup drawer!! I will only order good for me stuff like Saffron Rouge products and all things RMS beauty! Thanks!
By Kr on July 1, 2012
Not what I was hoping
I sooo wanted to love this product because it is so nice in theory. However, after many attempts at wearing it, with many different options (no/with eye cream, with/without primer, with/without shadow over top, with/without setting powder over top), I still can't get it to stay put. I bought 'lunar' and LOVE the colour and the look when I first put it on. Within minutes though, it has traveled into the crease and starts making a mess:-( I find the darker colours even harder to work with.
By Natalie on May 7, 2012
This creases. I use it for other things such as lips or cheeks not eyes.
By Alicia on February 13, 2012
Heavy creasing on my eyelids
Similar to some other RMS products, I really wanted to love this one. They all come in nice glass containers, which I appreciate, and are as natural as a product can come. I have three colors (that's how much I wanted to love it – I kept buying more!) – spark, seduce and magnetic. I have a problem with creamy eye products creasing, so with most powders I use a primer. But these are applied directly to the lid. Because I was trying to recreate the intensity of the color on my lid, I must have over applied product, leading to really unattractive creasing – although you can blend out the crease throughout the day, by 3 or 4 hours of this you have almost no product left! I find it works best as a thin layer (therefore the color becomes covered) with a powder shadow applied on top. I haven't really tried them as just a thin layer without powder (I was tired of the creasing). It could just be my eyelids, but this product really doesn't work for me in any other capacity. I don't plan on buying the remaining three colors!
By Rachelc on January 10, 2012
Moisturizing, lovely colour, mild creasing but easy to fix
Yes, this product might crease, but the colours look so lovely when applied and it moisturizes the eyelid so well, I don't feel the minimal bit of creasing that may occur is worth worrying about. This product lasts and even when it does crease, I can simply pat lightly and the crease disappears. I don't even need a mirror to fix it.
By Carrie on December 21, 2011
Great natural product...
Very pretty cream eye shadow. I bought Seduce. A little bit goes a long way. Its a pretty bronze brown shade. It did crease on my eyelids, but its so creamy and natural that I just love it.
Light reflecting RMS Beauty Cream Eye Shadows create a very sheer refined metallic glow with all the benefits of raw mineral pigments without the dryness that occurs with minerals alone.

Villanova University hosts Community Forum on LGBT Inclusion
University President Addresses Villanova Community Regarding Canceled Event with Tim Miller
Villanova, PA -- Pennsylvania Student Equality Coalition (PSEC) leaders were in attendance at a Tuesday night meeting put together by a Villanova student and addressed by university president Father Peter Donohue.
The two hour meeting, which hosted upwards of 200 students, faculty members and administration officials, served as a direct response to last week's abrupt cancellation of openly gay performance artist Tim Miller's previously scheduled week-long workshop.
"I apologize to members of the community who felt offended," Father Donohue said. "That was not our intent."
Father Donohue continued to clarify that he had learned of the event on Feb. 10, and decided to cancel the event after two weeks of receiving a "flood" of emails from alumni and parents as well as noted backlash from Catholic watchdog group the Cardinal Newman Society. The reverend also expressed that the decision was based on anticipated uproar in the larger community and a lack of time to "wrap around a unified message," but nonetheless asserts that the decision was in no way made because Miller is gay.
"We are not a homophobic institution," he said. "I am not homophobic; it is not something we should stand for…if that is evident, I need to know that, and we'll address it." He went on to speak about inclusion of LGBT members of the Villanova community: "my first priority is supporting the community, all of the community; the nature of the gospel calls us to do that." He continued to express that "if any of us are being singled out or discriminated against - first, foremost, and strongly we will deal with it."
Heidi Rose, assistant professor of communications at Villanova and organizer of the canceled event, urged the university to issue a direct apology to Miller.
"[Tim] is desperately hurt and outraged," Rose said. "We own him an apology… if we are going to be Augustinian we need to address this."
PSEC commends Father Donohue for taking accountability and creating dialogue between administration officials and members of the Villanova community. PSEC hopes that, going forward, the university administration will continue to stand behind its LGBT members who so desperately rely on them as a proponent of acceptance and equality.
The Pennsylvania Student Equality Coalition is PA's statewide lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth organization. PSEC is a coalition of youth-led LGBTQ organizations in Pennsylvania. PSEC provides resources and support to LGBTQ youth in local communities and in educational institutions. PSEC works for social support and coordinated campus‐community organizing for LGBTQ equality in Pennsylvania. As part of a broader social justice movement, PSEC works for Pennsylvania to be a commonwealth that respects the diversity of human expression and identity which provides opportunity for all. The primary focus of PSEC is on local, state and national safe schools legislation and policies.

Never Let Your Guard Down8 Reviews
Just when it starts getting good.
Never Let Your Guard Down
June 29, 2006
Park bench seats on warm afternoons set long conversations in motion. Without the suffocating tension of the apartment surrounding them, Lindsey and Andy were able to speak freely. Through, their honesty brought more understanding than intimacy to their relationship. Who ever sets to fall in love anyway?
In between their coffee shop shifts and band meetings unplanned encounters sparked smiles as mysterious as both pretended to be. Bright eyes made it obvious that they had something to share. Their whispers and sideways glances left Pete, Patrick, Joe, and even Sarah to wonder exactly what had changed.
Andy waited on the same park bench where Lindsey always found him. He held a comic book up to read just to pass the time. Shadows shifted with no sign of her from the coffee shop across the street. Sarah waved shyly from the window; Andy forced a smile to be polite. Sarah was a sweet girl, pretty in a simply plain sort of way, but there was really nothing beyond that. Either that, or Lindsey dominated his thoughts too much to leave room for him to notice anything special about /Sarah. The sour feeling that pulled at his stomach anytime he watched Lindsey leave a room made him perfectly aware that now he had fallen for her he couldn't bear to lose her.
When Andy first noticed Lindsey approach their park bench meeting place, she was balancing on the curb placing one foot carefully in front of another and looking up at the sky. She had been walking like this for almost an hour already. The worry that was normally obvious in her eyes seemed to have relaxed into a state of content or at least hopefulness. Andy watched her carefully as she walked with her arms stretched out on either side of her. She was walking a tightrope between the kind of life she had grown to fear and the kind of like she lived to hate.
Happiness only lasted so long with Lindsey. She only knew smiles as the calm before the storm. Gulping every time her left foot hit the ground, she was waiting for the rain.
"Lindsey!" Andy called to her when she walked completely passed him without notice, "Lindsey, what are you doing?"
She turned on her heels to face him toppling off the curb with the sudden motion. Landing just barely in the street with grace, Lindsey watched silently as Andy jogged over to where she stood. It seemed like he was always chasing after her. The only others she had known to do that were the police, and they always returned her to the places she feared. Shivering, she closed her eyes tightly and hoped that Andy had better intentions. Lindsey wasn't sure exactly what she feared anymore, but she always woke up in a cold sweat swearing off dreams she chose not to remember.
In a life that had become fast-paced pace and full of living, Lindsey didn't take much time to simply observe anymore. The way smiling crinkled up her eyes seemed to hinder her unpleasant view of the world. It was much harder to watch from the sidelines now that she was always playing the game. Now she was too busy handing out her trust and grasping feverishly at the lock on her heart.
Andy began to worry when his quick steps stopped him beneath her stare. Her eyes were distantly studying the nothing that had materialized just to the right of his head. She had a look in her eyes that promised that everything that was hidden behind them belonged somewhere apart from that park.
"Is everything okay?" Andy asked her hesitantly.
Releasing a bout of fear and insecurity with a breath she hadn't noticed she had been keeping trapped within her lings, Lindsey simply nodded. A slight smile appeared on her lips as his eyes drew her in for the first time.
"I got lunch," She told him shyly, their steps inadvertently leading them back to the same old park bench. Plopping down just beside the comic book Andy had abandoned, Lindsey tore open the brown paper bag she had gripped tightly in one of her hands and graciously offered him the first white carton full of rice.
"Thank you," He smiled understanding the simple gesture meant more then that she was thinking he might be hungry too.
Pulling out the second carton, Lindsey concentrated on the chopsticks in her hand and the pair ate in silence. Although they had spent every afternoon for two weeks in the same silence on this particular afternoon the air carried a feeling too heavy for June. Andy feared it mirrored a heavy feeling Lindsey was hiding from him.
A dog yelped breaking the silence that was holding their fragile pieces together. The bark, as simple and ordinary as any other dog bark, set fate in motion again. But, fate doesn't always steal scenes from your favorite romantic comedy. And the times that it does, are usually only setting up for tragedy.
The dog barked again.
Lindsey took in an unsteady breath and watched a school bus chug by.
"Lindsey." Andy whispered, "Are you sure everything is okay? You seem dazed today."
Lindsey let out the breath and checked the sky for rain once more. Placing the carton of rice on the bench beside her, she tucked one leg beneath her and turned to face Andy.
"I feel like him," She sighed nodding off somewhere in the distance as the same dog barked for a third time.
"I...don't understand," Andy replied knotting his brow beneath his glasses.
"How could you not?" She asked with a maudlin shrug, "We're all living the same life. We're all just as foolishly trapped."
She bit down on her bottom lip, pausing to collect her thoughts. Wisps of every though and every fear swirled around her head in unorganized clumps only confusing her more and more. Andy sat besides her patiently waiting for the same thing he did every day: the one sentence, the one revelation that would prove to him that he could understand her. That he could be a part of her. He was waiting for the moment he would know that together they were right. Lindsey was trying to understand why she couldn't leave.
"The dog is," She muttered shaking her head to loosen the thoughts that struck together, "We're all more like that dog then we ever want to admit. We think we're free, that we're invincible, that we're strong enough to pick a fight with the moon. But it's all a lie. We're trapped by the need for human contact, by the need to feel this close to someone. We've got chains wrapped around us like a leash, keeping us from chasing squirrels, or dreams, or anything. And...those that get free, the strays, they're unloved, they're exiled and, and, they're no more free than the rest of us."
"Lindsey," Andy whispered letting her words soak into his skin with the sunlight.
Biting her lip again, she looked down at her hands and muttered the closest to a cry for a permanent relationship as he would ever hear, "I don't want to be a stray anymore."
"Lindsey." Andy whispered again lifting her shin slowly meeting her gaze. Her eyes fluttered closed and she could feel his warm breath across her lips as they neared one another.
Turning just before their lips could meet, Lindsey hurried to her feet, letting the remaining rice in her carton spill out only to slip between the cracks of the old wooden bench. "I should really get back to work," She insisted, but Andy refused to just let her go.
His fingers caught around her wrist lightly causing her to jerk back to face him. Her lips quivered with fear that he would try to kiss her again.
"Listen to me," He told her with all the cool ease of silk against bare skin. His hands cradled her face gently as her spoke to her, "You don't have to be alone." She whimpered desperately pleading for either reassurance or escape. "Lindsey. I'm not going anywhere without you."
Nodding her head still in his grasp, Lindsey gathered her tears and silently turned away from him again. He watched her dart across the street to reenter "Sip" to work as though nothing had happened.
Fate does not steal from romantic comedies or even carefully written stories about star-crossed lovers. But with all the same deliberation as said authors, destiny discarded happy endings long before Lindsey and Andy had any idea exactly what they were a part of or how little they could do to avoid it. All dogs do not go to heaven and fairytales were never meant for rock stars or runaways.

Electric Federal has taken a fresh look back at the enduring legacy of original Mini with a video interview with Heritage Garage's Graham Reid, one of the foremost experts on classic Minis. As Electric Federal points out, it's important to remember that the Mini did not start out as a performance car. It was built in response to the Suez Canal crisis of the mid-50s, which had a similar effect on British gas prices as OPEC did on American prices in the 1970s – rationing and rapid price jumps.
Through the years, Minis have grown from their budget roots to become seriously competent performance machines. As Reid says, a 150-horsepower Mini on the right track should have no problem outpacing a contemporary Porsche 911.
For some time now, classic Mini owners have been dropping Honda engines under the tiny hoods of their classics. With up to 250 horsepower pulling a car that tips the scales at barely 1,200 pounds, the upgraded Mini is "a real sleeper," Reid says. Interestingly, Reid doesn't mention another increasingly common swap in the Mini community - Suzuki Hayabusa-powered Coopers.
Modern Mini owners, you haven't been entirely left out – we're glad to see that Reid isn't a Mini enthusiast that discounts the newer models launched under BMW. In the video, a Chili Red R53 Cooper S sits right alongside a classic model in a similar color. Check out all the fun in the video below.
