Frances Herr would be a good title for this black-and-white indie, focusing as it does on a twentysomething Berliner (Tom Schilling) every bit as aimless and unmotivated as Greta Gerwig's Big Apple ditz.
Yet Jan Ole Gerster's deceptively slender character study has a complex undertow, subtly linking its wallflower anti-hero's acceptance of his failings with his country's wider atonement for its World War II past.
Set over the course of a single day, the film sees the numbly passive Niko encounter a lively cross-section of Teutonic oddballs in his amusing pursuit of an elusive cup of coffee. Worth seeking out.

Deadfall Reviews
Flix Capacitor
Serviceable if ultimately uneven, Deadfall is let down by inconsistent material and muddy character work. Still, at least the snowy location work looks good.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Movie Talk
A B-movie with an A-list cast, crime thriller Deadfall sets its plot in motion with some bracing shocks in its first few minutes.
Observer [UK]
A strong cast makes up for thinnish characterisation, and it's so like Fargo it might as well be called "Fargone".
With a focus on messy family relationships, this thriller's deranged comical touches almost make up for its contrived plot and annoyingly thin characters.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Total Film
Too many coincidences spoil the plot, but this is a down'n'dirty, black'n'bloody little thriller. If nothing else, you'll truly feel the chill.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Shadows on the Wall
Director Ruzowitzky lets his cast make the most of the wildly swerving tone.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Engaging thriller, enlivened by some snowy location work and strong performances from a superb cast, though the script struggles to find the right tone.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Eye for Film
For all that Dean's exploration of dysfunctional families punches squarely on the nose, Ruzowitzky bobs and weaves around the cliches in ways that lift Deadfall above many of its genre contemporaries.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
East Bay Express
What the screenplay lacks, director Ruzowitzky paints in, with bold, elemental strokes on the dirty-snow canvas.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Perhaps the best thing about "Deadfall" is the lifelike messiness of its ending. A couple of the characters have a lot of explaining to do, and this is one case where a sequel might be in order.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
Philadelphia Inquirer
Deadfall is fast and fatalistic ...
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
A rare modern genre piece that doesn't shy away from being impossibly bleak and downbeat.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
Washington Post
A genre characterized by often grisly violence, high style and a distinctly nihilistic outlook.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
[An] atmospheric, suspenseful, snowbound crime thriller with a creepy, sexy undertow ...
New York Times
"Deadfall" brings to mind those dark, old-fashioned entertainments in rotation on Turner Classic Movies that suck you in with their genre machinery, sullen beauties and despair.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Jam! Movies
Deadfall is soaked in creepy, larded with violence and filled with people in pain. Cue the dread.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
MSN Movies
'Deadfall' deftly transforms the climactic moments ... therapeutic for some, devastating for others. It's a beautiful thing.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
An intriguing cat-and-mouse caper featuring both bullets and brains. The question is how long can they keep up the 'good perp, bad perp' charade before their luck finally runs out?
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
New York Observer
The camera work is as beautiful as it is terrifying, with Quebec standing in for northern Michigan in the dead of winter. And the performances are resourceful, superbly etched and expertly nuanced.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It circles its way from a conventional thriller to a dodgy love story, and leaves in its path a few dead bodies and a few living crippled psyches... .

The Mai Tai was purportedly invented at the Trader Vic's restaurant in Oakland, California in 1944. Trader Vic's rival, Don the Beachcomber, claimed to have created it in 1933 at his then-new bar named for himself (later a famous restaurant) in Hollywood. Don the Beachcomber's recipe is more complex than that of Vic's and tastes quite different. (Wikipedia)

Banana Leaf Modern Thai
101 East Main St.
Mason, OH 45040
|Fri – Sat: 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.
Sun-Thurs: 11 a.m. – 9 p.m.
|Price Range:
|(Dinner prices)
Appetizers: $6 – $16
Entrees: $8 – $30 (most things are in the $18 – $27 range)
Dessert: $6 – $8
Drinks (non-alcoholic): $2 – $4
The building that Banana Leaf Modern Thai is located in (at the corner of Mason-Montgomery and Main St./42 in downtown Mason) has been a number of things over the years, all of them never seeming to last for very long. Which is why we felt the need to visit them soon for fear that by the time we got around to it they may be gone.
A Thai restaurant in downtown Mason is one of many things the poor city needs – more culture, restaurants and places to go in general. For what it's worth, the landscaping around the building is pretty neat and worth seeing if you are passing by.
As we walked up to the building from the rear parking we saw a little Asian man picking at the plants around the back door, then hurry into the building. We would come to learn that he was the owner and chef, and that he grows some of the herbs he uses just outside the restaurant.
Unfortunately we made the mistake of going on a Saturday for lunch – which means dinner only menu and prices. The menu had a fair mix of options on it, a sampler which was a combination of multiple starters, soups, wraps and rolls. For entrees there are specialty items such as the Banana Leaf Pizza and Filet Mignon Panang (Filet Mignon topped with Panang curry) which range from $16 – $30, the curries ($15 – $19), "steamed and folded" which included dishes such as Warm Glass Noodle Salad ($15) and Spooning Shrimps ($12), fried dishes ($8 – $19), grilled and smoked dishes ($10 & $15), noodles ($15 – $17) and of course dessert ($6 – $8) and drinks. They have alcoholic drinks too, but we didn't see/get that menu. Normally I wouldn't name prices like that, but the range on the menu is so much that it didn't fit well in our info-box above and I felt it needed more description.
We decided to start with the Banana Leaf Sampler which was chicken satay, spring rolls, summer rolls and peking duck rolls. It also came with a variety of sauces to dip them in, such as peanut and hoisin sauce. All of which were okay, but they really needed the sauces to make them good. We noticed while eating them too that the Peking duck rolls were rolled up in flour tortillas – which made us begin our questioning of how authentic Banana Leaf is.
We certainly don't mind fusions or non-authentic foods, but to really get to know a culture you need to taste what their food is really like, and by their food I mean the foods eaten in the homeland. I can guarantee you when we were in China and had Peking Duck, it did not come with flour tortillas with which to roll it in (the rolling material they did come with is, however, still a mystery to me). It may be that Mexican/Latin cuisine has influenced Thai cuisine over the years, but somehow I'm doubting it. But, I digress, the duck rolls did taste good, and that is very important as well.
For entrees I got the Pad Thai – my general baseline to judge Thai restaurants against each other – and Adam got his favorite Masamun Curry. The spiciness of each dish is made how you order it – so we both said "very, very spicy." I think Adam's actual words to the waiter were 'Melt my face off.' We're mutants – we love spicy stuff.
The Pad Thai is a noodle dish, stir fried with eggs, peanuts, tofu, bean sprouts, green onion, chicken and sauce. The sprouts, carrots, red pepper flakes and peanuts came on the side, as well as a lime. As far as spiciness goes – it was a let down, it felt more like a 2 (out of 10) than the 7-10 I was expecting. I suppose I was lucky that it came with extra peppers on the side. As for the Pad Thai's flavor – it was good but felt like it was lacking something. The chef came out just as we had taken the first bites of our food and told me that squeezing the lime on it was the key and would enhance the flavors greatly. To me it just made it limey, which was good, but didn't fix the "somethings missing."
While we had him, we asked the chef about his history and complimented the fantastic job they've done on the interior and exterior decorations. He explained that while he was trained in Thailand by a famous chef, when he moved to the US he worked as a landscaper until he had the money to open up a restaurant. (Which explained the wonderful landscaping) He told us that Banana Leaf served very authentic Thai food – which I like to hear but I still wonder about certain items (like the tortillas and the Banana Leaf Pizza I saw on the menu).
Back to the food!
Adam's Masamun Curry was delicious, but again underwhelming on the spicy. It came with very fragrant jasmine rice on the side. The Masamun Curry contained beef, coconut milk, potatoes, peanuts, onions and of course masamun curry. I admit I liked the flavor of his curry a lot better than my Pad Thai. We both agreed that while both dishes were good, they weren't great and didn't really justify the high prices. I'll happily pay $15 for a Masamun Curry or Pad Thai but it better be better than the $9 ones we can get elsewhere. Banana Leaf was about on par with "elsewhere" so far.
We did decide to splurge and order two Bubble Teas, as it's not a drink we often get. We were first introduced to it by our Chinese teacher (in China) who explained to us that it's a popular thing in mainland China as well as in Taiwan – and that it is usually made with sweetened black tea, milk and tapioca pearls. But, of course, Banana Leaf is different.
The flavors of Bubble Tea you can choose from are Original, Mango, Honeydew or Taro. We tried to get Mango and Taro but they were out of the Mango, so we got the Honeydew instead. Banana Leaf makes their Bubble Teas with green tea, flavorings, and tapioca pearls. We really, really liked these and they were probably our favorite things we had gotten thus far (maybe a bit too sweet, but not intolerably so).
Then it came time for dessert – I got the coconut crème brûlée and Adam got the lychee ice cream. The coconut crème brûlée came placed back into the coconut – a nice surprise – and was very delicious. The waiter told us the coconuts were hand cut and scooped by the chef and that while it was labor intensive it was worth it. [Update: The coconut crème brûlée does not appear to be on the menu anymore.] The Lychee Ice Cream was a single, but somewhat large scoop and came with a lychee, blueberries and a raspberry. These ended up exceeding the bubble teas as our favorites at Banana Leaf. Small portions for the price, but they were absolutely fantastic.
As I was taking pictures for the review, I tried to be as discreet as possible as to not be noticed. But, alas, I was noticed by the server. He invited us to take a look around upstairs and take pictures of the decor – which you can find on our Facebook page. Banana Leaf gets some definite points as the most stylish restaurant in Mason. Luckily there wasn't anyone seated upstairs so we could freely take pictures, but I still hurried which resulted in some of the pictures coming out blurry.
If the appetizers and entrees were just a little better, we would have given Banana Leaf a 4 plate rating. We will likely go back to Banana Leaf and try some of the less traditional items, but the draw is mostly the desserts and bubble tea.

Verdict: A Nice Place, But First Try Lunch & Desserts
If you go to Banana Leaf, try it for lunch – and if you like it then you can justify the dinner prices. Banana Leaf is a slightly expensive restaurant, and probably a nice place to visit with your friends or on a date. The decor is great, the service is quite nice, and the bubble teas and desserts were fantastic, but the prices need to come down or they need to step up the quality of the appetizers and entrees.

Though you're afar, cannot be seen, the power of this love is all that we need.
Look overhead and imagine me now, for I am looking too.
Close your eyes, my love, and picture your soul shooting into the stars.
As is bounces back, I will feel you near me.
For we are linked through a love so strong, miles don't matter at all.
I'll tell you this, my love, when you practice this meditation, I am complete.
For our beings are one, as we are linked through love.

It's a great way to mount the CB antenna

Using this product to mount cb antenna to be on the Rear Door of Jeep. Was exactly what I was looking for and fit was perfect. Do have to remember to scratch up the mounts to get good contact for ground.
Perfect Fit

Works great on two of the Jeep Spare tire brackets!!
By Jimbo
from Texas
I wanted to add a CB radio as another form of communication when traveling and this mount was the perfect solution for mounting the antenna on my JK. I removed some of the powder coating where the mounting bolts attach so I could get a good ground and it worked great. I did not have any issues with the antenna or the mount rubbing on my stock Rubicon spare.

Easy Install and very practical location
By Bucko-d
from Ventura, CA
Pretty good setup; Jeep has conveniently located a spot on the Tailgate that has a rubber grommet for running the cable for the CB radio. Mounted between the spare tire, the Tereflex bracket takes advantage of this spot on the tailgate. With this setup there is no drilling required for making a clean install of the cable. The bracket places the antenna just to the passengers side from center of the rear window. With a 4' antenna you have about 2' extending above the roof of the JK.

As a basketball player, Jimmy Butler is pretty good. But as a dancer? Not so much.
In light of all of the somber news involving the trade of Luol Deng, we bring to you Chicago Bulls news of the more lighthearted variety.
It's no secret that as a native of Texas, Jimmy Butler is a big fan of country music. The 24-year-olds taste in music is what makes him one of the more unique players in the Bulls locker room, as does his affinity for cowboy boots and playing the guitar.
Teammate Nazr Mohammed caught Butler dancing to Taylor Swift's '22' song in the Bulls locker room after the win over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night and as you can imagine, it was pretty funny.

I think it would be so cool to meet up with my guild at any place at all. It would shock you if you discovered how many hours some people spend around their guilds a day, and they may not even know what their raiders they spend 4 hours a night withs names or faces outside of their toons. WoW can be very detached from the real world sometimes. Stories like these are really cool to me.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Wilson is a wonderful school, with dedicated teachers and an excellent principal. They all really care about the kids and their education needs. My daughter loves everyone there, with there friendly smiles and warming hearts.
My school of choice is Wilson elementary school in davenport. We bought a house in that are so my daughter could attend wilson. There are so many great teachers and a wonderful principal. We also have the Watch D.O.G program of volunteer men to help in any way we're needed. We also are an extra set of eyes and ears keeping our school safe. The staff makes an effort daily to express their appreciation for the volunteers. N finally the most important part of the school is the kids. In my 4 years volunteering I have seen kids standing up to bullys and helping out the disadvantaged kids. The kids show empathy and respect on a daily basis. Wilson is the greatest school in the Quad Cities because of all of the help each and every person gives.
I Like this School because of the watch D.O.G.S and volunteers. The people are all about the kids.
I posted a review earlier and accidentally put 4 stars and I meant to mark 5 stars. This is definitely a school people want their children in. The staff is caring to work with as well as have care for your children.
Wilson has a wonderful staff that is caring and focused on the education, safety and well being of all of the students in the school. All of the staff at Wilson believe that the students come first. This year Wilson is piloting a new reading program that is proving to be focused and very meaningful. It is getting back to the basics of reading and adding back in the components of phonics. Wilson staff is 100% against bullying and is quick to take action if and when bullying takes place. Wilson is a Title 1 school that benefits in monies from the federal government to provide a Liaison to help families with their students academic success. The Liaison is available to answer questions, provide tools to use at home with studies and provides monthly family activities for families at school. Wilson also has a very active PTA that organizes monthly family gatherings as well as an active Dad's Club that supports the athletics. Wilson is a great school to learn at, to work at, and to volunteer in.
As a former teacher and current School Administration Manager at Wilson Elementary, I am proud of the staff and students that we have at our school! Parents and community members are the est and highly involved in the school through volunteering, watch dogs, PTA, Dads club an so much more! Surrounded by a safe neighborhood with highly qualified teachers, Wilson Elemntary is amazing! I am fortunate to have spent over 8 years at Wilson working with such an incredible community of staff, students, administration and families. Wilson staff embraces diversity and strives each and every day to meet the needs of every child! Wilson students experience top-notch technology integration and are preparing to become the leaders of our future!

Brookridge Apartments
NEWPORT NEWS -- A young boy was killed when a large tree fell through his apartment.
Police said 11-year-old Zahir Robinson and his mother Angela Anthony were lying on the bed in their unit at Brookridge Apartments on Fairfax Avenue just after noon. The tree fell through, pinning the boy. The mother was rescued.
A crane was brought in to remove the tree so rescuers could reach him.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Zahir was an honor roll student going into the sixth grade.
His mom says he asked her all week to make him some vegetables and that was his last meal. She said he went to bed, kissed her good night, and said 'I love you.' That was the last time she saw her son alive.
The building has been condemned by the Fire Department.
The mayor offered words of condolence.
"I am saddened to learn of this unfortunate tragedy," said Mayor McKinley L. Price. "My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of this young child. I urge our residents to take all precautions necessary to remain safe during and after this storm."

For most under 25, hairspray is something they see in movies, used in the theater and heard about from their parents who lived through the '70s and '80s.
Most clients/guests over 25 only know blowdry creams, heat protectant sprays and shine products, and in their hands hairspray can go wrong without the proper training from us. Why?
The wrong spray before a flat iron could leave locks well done—as in burnt. And the right spray can deliver a flawless finish. Plus, selling hairspray can increase revenue for the salon. The best way to move forward is to stop looking back. This trend is not retro, it's forward. Don't connect it backwards, because we are not redoing the '80s and it is not the '50s or '60s either. Here is how new hairsprays will save us.
• Modern finishes last two days to a week, and you can run your hands through everyday. Unlike in the past, today's sprays give hold without being stuck.
• It doesn't kill the earth. The CFC-filled sprays are gone and today's sprays even contain ingredients that protect our hair.
• Finishes are for change, not the same old. For today's guest, think Sarah Jessica Parker or J Lo, not the pictures of grandma with the same look everyday. Today, blowout salons position themselves to provide different looks that create different personalities for the client to play with, from sex kitten to sleek, and even boardroom perfect, guests see how hair spray lets us and them create looks to play.
• The best way to excite someone is to show them all the possibilities. Today's hairsprays range in hold from barely there to stop-a-bird-in-flight strong, with all the options anyone could need in between.
So if you're looking to amp up your business, hairspray is a great place to start.

One in Five Companies Warning on Earnings?
By Michael Lombardi, MBA for Profit Confidential
Traditionally, the first big American public company to kick off each new corporate earnings season is Alcoa Inc. (NYSE/AA). For the current quarter, Alcoa reported a net loss of $178 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. The company stated it had some special restructuring costs in the quarter; if you were to exclude them, its corporate earnings were $0.09 per share. (Source: Alcoa Inc., April 8, 2014.)
As usual, investors grasping for any good news as a reason to push stock prices higher didn't hold back. The chart below shows what happened as soon as the market for Alcoa shares opened after its corporate earnings release.
Chart courtesy of www.StockCharts.com
Alcoa's stock prices gapped up almost five percent on its news that "it lost money but really didn't lose money if restructuring charges were excluded."
But how did Alcoa really do? The first thing I would do as an investor is see if sales at Alcoa are rising. In this case, Alcoa reported its revenue fell 6.5% in the quarter from the same quarter last year.
Then I would look at stock buybacks. Did Alcoa buy back any of its stock in the quarter that would have the effect of boosting its quarterly per-share earnings? Well, lo and behold, in the first quarter, the number of Alcoa's diluted shares declined by more than five percent!
Please don't get me wrong. I'm not saying Alcoa shares are a sell. In fact, I don't follow the company at all. But when I see the stock market pushing the stock price of a company higher despite the company reporting a corporate earnings loss, … Read More
Why I Would Buy This $1,000 Stock Over a $10.00 Stock
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
I was looking at the chart of priceline.com Incorporated (NASDAQ/PCLN) the other day, as the stock surpassed the $1,000 level. But why would I consider paying so much for a stock when there are cheaper comparables in the same online travel space?
It's true; there are less expensive online travel stocks than priceline.com. But when you are stock picking, you should look at the comparative valuation and growth metrics, and not simply stock prices. The problem is that many investors will tend to base their stock picking on the share price, but the reality is that determining which stock to buy is not like shopping for goods—you don't always go for the lowest-priced item. It's like the old adage, "You get what you pay for." This also applies to stock picking.
Online travel provider priceline.com beat Google Inc. (NASDAQ/GOOG) to become the first company to break the $1,000-a-share barrier (excluding Berkshire Hathaway Inc.). This is an amazing accomplishment for a stock that debuted at $75.25 on March 31, 1999.
The key to priceline.com is that it was the first company to really drive the online travel segment and innovate its service offering along the way in spite of a growing number of competitors. This is why it is tops in the online travel sector.
Chart courtesy of www.StockCharts.com
Of course, there are competitors such as Expedia, Inc. (EXPE) that you could consider when stock picking, but the company is over seven-times smaller than priceline.com, based on market cap.
Chart courtesy of www.StockCharts.com
Based on comparative valuations, however, Expedia is more attractive, trading at 14.4X its 2014 earnings per share … Read More
What's Really Going on with Big Banks
By Sasha Cekerevac, BA for Profit Confidential
Big bank stocks have had a tough year in 2011. They've been beaten and bruised. Some big banks, like Belgian financial giant Dexia, have needed a government bailout. During the past week, all of the big banks have had a strong rally due to the added liquidity provided by the Federal Reserve and world central bankers, but do we really know what's going on behind the scenes?
Why Michael's Feeling Vindicated
this Morning
By Michael Lombardi, MBA for Profit Confidential
How do I feel this morning? Vindicated.
I've been writing on these pages for months that the stock market has been in a bear market rally that started in March 2009 and that stock prices would move higher before Phase III of the bear market ultimately sets in and brings stocks back down to their March 2009 lows. Over the past few weeks, I've been getting e-mails from my readers telling me that I've been in "bear market rally" mode for too long and that the markets were done…the bear market rally was over. And, presto, what do we get? A single-day 490-point jump for the Dow Jones Industrial Average yesterday—its biggest one-day gain in years!
Debt Crisis Aside—Let's Get Down to Business with the Real Numbers
By Mitchell Clark, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
The European debt crisis has not gone away. The fix comes only at the end of the debt crisis' beginning. Frankly, I'm kind of annoyed it took this long for policymakers to act. The domestic stock market has suffered long enough because of a lack of firm action on the European sovereign debt crisis. It isn't going away anytime soon, but thankfully, the debt crisis is now being addressed.
Dow Jones at 12,000 Again:
Here's What Happens Next
By Michael Lombardi, MBA for Profit Confidential
The Dow Jones Industrial Average blew past the psychologically important 12,000 level yesterday. What a feat! Less than a month ago, on October 4, 2011, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at its lowest level since September 2010: 10,400. The widely followed stock index has gained 1,800 points, or 17.3%, in less than a month.
The Stock That Says a Thousand Words
By Michael Lombardi, MBA for Profit Confidential
What a difference a couple of months make! If we think back to early August of this year, we can remember several days in which the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 400 to 500 points in a single day. As the stock market continued to deteriorate, stock advisors started throwing in the proverbial towel and turned big-time bearish.
Thinking of Investing in the Auto Sector?
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
As I have been saying for the last few years, the auto sector in the U.S. and around the world remains terrible; it's a bad place to have placed your capital. Even with the recent decline in stock prices of automakers to decade lows, we are still not buyers and will not be in the near future. General Motors Corporation (NYSE/GM) recently fell to its lowest point since the 1950s. Its current market- ap is a mere $3.7 billion, which is quite amazing given the company once was the darling of Wall Street and the institutional crowd, and has long been considered a "widow" stock with a nice dividend. That was then. I would not touch GM. Its current ividend yield of 15.30% looks attractive, but stay away, as it is
based on a weak stock price. And given that GM has about $23.0 billion in net debt, it would not be a surprise to see management cut the dividend out partially or entirely to economize.
Now some of you may be looking at the distressed auto sector and wondering if it is time to enter into positions. Our advice is a sound "No." The sector is struggling with declining demand and the need for a major industry restructuring. Major car dealers are offering no interest financing, yet even this is having some problems in attracting buyers given the economic uncertainties. Even Japanese automakers are cutting estimates for car sales and you know this is a major red flag.
News circulated today that billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian cut his holding in troubled Ford Motor Company (NYSE/F) to 6.1% and added … Read More
The Strongest Indication Yet That
Stocks Are Short-term Oversold
By Michael Lombardi, MBA for Profit Confidential
Without getting too technical, investors have two ways to bet on the price direction of stocks. They can go "long" the market, which means they believe that stock prices will rise. Or they can go "short" the market, which means they are betting that stock prices will fall. Going "long" is easy; all investors need to do is buy stocks. And usually, when investors have a strong general consensus that the stock market will move higher, like they last did in October of 2007, stock prices go the opposite way and fall.
Four Reasons Why Stock Prices
Will Bounce Higher Now
By Michael Lombardi, MBA for Profit Confidential
Stocks have become severely oversold. The stock market is acting as if we are already in a recession. The dividend yields on many major corporations are back up over four percent…in an environment where the 10-year U.S. Treasury is yielding 1.9%.
Lots of Companies Doing Well, But
the Marketplace Isn't Listening
By Mitchell Clark, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
You might not know it, but there is real strength in this market from a number of well-managed, dividend-paying stocks. When the broader market is gyrating and investor sentiment is weak, outperformance comes in the form of stability. Plenty of stocks in this market are outperforming the broader stock market and, in spite of all the worries about the sovereign debt crisis and the outlook for economic growth, the earnings picture continues to look good.
Reverse-merger Stocks:
A Game of Risk and Reward
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
Chinese stocks continue to struggle given the stalling in the Chinese economy. Yet this does not mean we should all run way from Chinese stocks. There are numerous strong Chinese companies with a worldwide presence. For instance, to take advantage of the country's massive cell phone market of over 800 million users, I like China Mobile Limited (NYE/CHL).
New Higher Margin Requirement
for Gold an Investor Opportunity
By Michael Lombardi, MBA for Profit Confidential
After months of patient waiting, the gold stocks came to life yesterday. Right across the board, whether it was junior or senior gold producers, the stock prices of gold companies were up sharply Wednesday. Hopefully, my readers have been following my guidance and seeking refuge in the gold-mining companies. Since the spring of this year, gold bullion prices have been rising sharply, while gold stocks stood pat. I have been writing that the leaders of the gold bull market would shift from the actual bullion to the gold stocks, and that's what started happening Wednesday.

Childproofing Casement Windows
Good Questions
Q: I have a 2-year-old, and we live on the upper floor of a 1920's Spanish style duplex. We have casement windows. I've had a really hard time finding a way to childproof her windows, which are quite wide...in an attractive way and on a budget. I still want to be able to open them as we have no AC. Do you all have any suggestions?
Sent by Brittany
Editor: Interesting conundrum! Readers, do you have casement windows at home that you've made more childproof?

I had the same problem. I ended up buying some hardware meant for doors that allowed you to open the window a crack but lock it in that position. I was also worried about firefighters being able to get in the windows in case of emergency, so I didn't want to install bars on the interior, which seemed to be my only other option.
I have the exact same problem. We gave up on opening ours since they go down to the floor. We took the crank off, but now my 4 year old opens the locks and we noticed the window pushes out about an inch. Scary since they are second floor. I look forward to some safety advice!
Not a window, but our solution might work: we have a furnace in our main room that gets pretty hot and has nasty corners. We ultimately ended up just putting a gate around it and using the space around it for random storage of non-flamable things.... You could put a short gate around the window and then maybe place hanging storage within the gate so you don't lose the space. Good luck!
You can drill a hole in the horizontal piece where the round "wheel" moves when you turn the crank. Drop a rivet (or nail or screw) into the hole. The rivet, if placed correctly, will stop the wheel from moving past that point, meaning that you can turn the crank but the window will only open as far as you want to allow it. If you want to open the window further, you take out the rivet.
That said, if it were a window that a child would actually spend time near I would just use safety bars, since it would be easy to forget to re-place the rivet each time. They make vertical bars for these windows and firemen know how to release them and it's easy for a grown-up to do so in an emergency (you pinch 2 ends)
We have a wide bay window in our 1900's flat and we ended up purchasing these mesh window guards http://www.amazon.com/KidCo-KID-S303-Kidco-Window-Guard/dp/B002H0JDPY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315944535&sr=8-1
They are quite wide, much less noticeable than bars and allow a breeze to come in. At $40 a pop, they aren't exactly cheap, so we just did the windows in the living room/playroom where we spend most of our time.
Hey Ladies,
I should have mentioned that these bad boys open inward.
Thanks again for your help and suggestions! Brittany
For an inward opening window I'd get a chain lock, just like you'd use for security on a door that opens inward.
Not very attractive, but you could run cable through some eye screws on the outside of the window and attach it with a clasping mechanism at the end. You could follow the panes or add double the number of panes with cables.
If I'm being an awful explainer, basically weave three stands of cable up and down, and five left and right - they could be one long piece through all of the eyes. It would essentially create a net (that's the word!) that firefighters could get through if the need arose.
We used to tie both handles together with the rope, while window is slightly open, so it leaves a little bit of room in between for air.

Asia moves: 29 October
30 October 2013
Stephanie Liston is very pleased about her new job.
"I have to be careful not to act like the cat who's eaten the canary," she says of her move from Baker & McKenzie to US firm McDermott Will & Emery.
The highly-rated telecoms partner left Baker & McKenzie last Friday to build McDermotts' new London communications group, making her the second lawyer to take this career path after head of employment Fraser Younson left the firm to join McDermotts in March.
Her decision has raised some eyebrows among her fellow specialists.
"I can't understand it. They're not a telecoms firm, but maybe they're hoping to build a practice around her," says one.
Another says that the move is "interesting", noting archly that McDermotts has been "headhunting rather exotically in London".
Exotic or not, McDermotts' aggressive arrival in the City has drawn a sniffy response from some New York firms, which claim that McDermotts does not have a clear long-term strategy for the London practice.
"Having talked to the partners in the US, there's not a chance. They have spent seven years researching the London market and they have taken it very seriously," Liston says, jokingly adding: "New York firms are rude about everyone."
McDermotts courted Liston for six months before she agreed to join the firm: "They convinced me of their commitment," she says.
"I have seen many American firms come and go both from London and Brussels. So they had some hard questions to answer," she adds.
A fellow telecoms lawyer says Liston was known as Baker & McKenzie's "Ms Telecoms", even though she did not head its communications group.
Liston says her partners at Baker & McKenzie were "very surprised and disappointed" by her decision to leave.
Certainly Baker & McKenzie's UK managing partner Russell Lewin was rather less than fulsome in bidding Liston farewell, commenting: "The challenge of starting from scratch will always have its attractions for some people."
The chance of building a new team was what made the offer one which Liston could not refuse. She hopes to have a team of two or three partners and four associates in less than six months.
Liston says that rather than her move to McDermotts being an anomaly, it shows the firm has done its homework on the London market by targeting communications.
"With liberalisation in the telecoms sector taking place across Europe, many investors tend to come from the US, which is already liberalised. The UK is a jumping-off point into the rest of Europe.
"The UK was the first EU country to deregulate and liberalise the telecoms sector.
"Much of the regulatory and business activity you see happening in the markets throughout the EU we have already seen in the UK, so it is a crucial focal point," she says.
Illinois-born Liston began her corporate career with Texas-based firm Fulbright & Jaworski before going in-house with communications group MCI in 1990. She then moved to Freshfields to help build the firm's communications group.
"At that stage Freshfields didn't have a significant telecoms practice. The firm's main focus was and is transactional work," says Liston.
But telecoms clients also want advice on regulatory and commercial matters, she says.
No lawyer will say they are not a "relationship lawyer". But, as well as being "Ms Telecoms", she has kept hotel and resort clients and represents "a couple of oil and gas companies" from her days with Fulbrights.
Liston is spending two weeks in the Lake District before starting her new job at McDermotts, but one suspects she will have only one thing on her mind.
With effusive thanks for listening to her, she says: "It's been great to talk to someone about all this."

Do you think religion should be abolished? Would a world without religion be better than one with it?
So far this topic has been clouded with uncertainty; and it is most certainly controversial. Has religion brought bigotry upon the world? Or has it helped in the ascend from savagery to civilization?
Also what would happen if people stopped following religion? Would sectarianism be abolished along with it? Or would the world be chaotic.
In the end, it all comes down to this: Is it the people who apply religion in corrupted ways who are to blamed rather than the religion itself? Or is the other way around?

Sheriff Grason Spencer is after a gang of outlaws who crippled his fiance. He doesn't have time for shooting matches with Annie-Oakley-wanna-bes, no matter how skilled or beautiful they are.
Kasey Anderson needs the money from the shooting match to continue searching for her sister who was kidnapped by outlaws. She wins the match, much to Grason and the town's surprise, and heads out with Grason on her tail. Her resemblance to the lady outlaw who shot him is uncanny and he wants to know who Kasey really is.
The two reluctantly become partners after Grason promises to let Kasey's outlaw sister see their mother before taking her in. The tension between them sizzles, but first they must battle bounty hunters, Indians and more outlaws.

Johnson County | New community food pantry opens soon
Jewish Family Services fills need with new community pantry
Despite about 600 pantries in the KC area, the number of families needing help continues to overwhelm supply.

factbox1-B822485704ZHow to help Donations of food and other items, as well as volunteers, are always welcome at Jewish Family Services of Kansas City's new food pantry. Diapers and other paper products are sorely needed because they're not covered by food stamps. For more information or to volunteer, call 913-327-8250.

Even in affluent Johnson County, adults struggle to pay their grocery bills and many children go to bed hungry.
Don Goldman, executive director of Jewish Family Services of Greater Kansas City, knows that because the Johnson County families his agency helps with rent and utilities often say their cupboards are bare and they have no money for food, either.
"We know the need exists. The need has been growing," Goldman told a gathering of about 40 people Sunday as Jewish Family Services launched the community's latest food pantry, located on the Jewish Community Center campus, 5801 W. 115th St. in Overland Park.
JFS, which serves people in Johnson and Jackson counties, gets more than 200 calls per month from families in crisis that need assistance.
Families struggle to make their food stamps last a whole month. Low-income families that don't qualify for food stamps sometimes skip meals. In the past, JFS hasn't been able to do much about that problem.
With the recession, the situation has worsened in the past five years. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates about 36,000 people in Johnson County, or 6.6 percent of the population, lived below the poverty level in 2011. That included 12,300 children. About 103,000 people, or 19 percent, were considered low income in 2011, including 33,150 children.
The Kansas City area already has about 600 food pantries, but it's still not enough, Goldman said. Some food pantries struggle for donations and always have more requests than supplies. Meanwhile, many Jewish Family Services agencies around the country already have food pantries, so Goldman is gratified that the JFS of Greater Kansas City can finally do the same.
Donations for the pantry have poured in over the past few weeks from just a handful of Johnson County Jewish congregations. Goldman said he expects those donations to increase as more congregations get involved, and the pantry should open to needy families in three weeks.
A satellite pantry is expected to open by the end of this year at the JFS offices in Jackson County, 9233 Ward Parkway. Both will allow families to shop, by appointment. Goldman expects "hundreds of people" will be served over the course of a year. Many families served are not Jewish, but part of the food pantry will be kosher.
This food pantry project is especially blessed, Goldman said, to have forged a partnership with a nearby community garden that will provide fresh vegetables for much of the year. On Sunday, giant, newly harvested sweet potatoes and big peppers filled boxes that had been brought from the Mitzvah Garden, located a few blocks away at 124th Street and Nall Avenue.
Mitzvah Garden has more than 15,000 square feet of space and grows nearly 5,000 pounds of vegetables, of all types, from April to November. It has numerous volunteers and in the past has contributed food to a few assistance centers in Missouri and to Yachad Kosher Food Pantry in Overland Park.
But the garden produces enough vegetables to supply JFS pantry and is glad to do that, Mitzvah Garden founder Ken Sonnenschein said Sunday.
"It's great in every way," Sonnenschein said of this joint initiative with JFS.
JFS also will partner with Liberty Fruit for fresh fruits and vegetables year round, Goldman said.
The food pantry project was made possible in part through a $28,000 grant from United Way, which paid for shelving and refrigerators and provides some money to buy food.
On Sunday, visitors to the new pantry space were excited.
Wendy Woolford and her 8-year-old daughter, Eme, looked at one room filled with food donations. Woolford said she's been to other pantries that were hurting for supplies, and she's seen people line up at dawn for food.
"It's a great thing for the community to start this," she said.
Woolford noted that Eme's ninth birthday is coming up in November, and she already plans to do her part.
"For her birthday, she's going to collect food donations at her party instead of getting presents," Woolford said. "Then we'll come here and help sort."

Mykal's Birth Story
I was 35 weeks pregnant when I went into premature labor. I woke up that morning feeling crampy but planned on going to work. I called my midwife just to let her know and she told me to go to the hospital. When I got there, I was two centimeters and 80 percent effaced with contractions coming every four minutes. I wasn't feeling them! I was put on Brethene and kept in the hospital for two days, then sent home with a monitor and orders for strict bed rest. My midwife kept telling me it would be any day.
Five weeks later we scheduled an induction. I was now four centimeters and still having contractions, but not in any regular pattern and nothing of great discomfort. I was really worried that I would go into active labor and not be able to tell. My midwife assured me I would know.
Three days after my due date and three days before my induction date, I woke up from a nap with a very painful contraction. I got out of bed, told my husband, then went to the computer to work on my birth plan. I had three more painful contractions about 15 minutes apart. I called the midwife, and she told me to meet her at the hospital, but to stay calm and take my time. The contractions started coming about five to ten minutes apart and every time I had one I would break into a cold sweat. Getting on my knees and laying over the gliding ottoman helped a little with the discomfort. We left for the hospital one hour from the time I woke up with the first contraction.
There was a wreck on the interstate, so traffic was terrible. My husband drove like a maniac, beeping the horn and flashing the emergency lights. The contractions were now two minutes apart and pretty painful. By the time we got off the interstate I was telling him to run the red lights. I was getting nervous.
When we got up to Labor and Delivery the nurse checked me and found out that I was seven centimeters. The midwife showed up about twenty minutes later, checked me again, and found out I was at nine centimeters. I asked about pain medication and mentioned my birth plan. Everyone laughed and said I was going to do this naturally and there was no time to look at my birth plan. Twenty minutes later I was pushing, and I pushed for about thirty minutes. It was very intense, but when the contractions stopped I felt okay. I was even joking and directing my mom and sister where to stand to take photos and video.
Three hours and two minutes after my first contraction at home, Mykal Lynea was born. She weighed seven pounds, six ounces, and had the most beautifully shaped head and pretty face. She was very alert and immediately started nursing. I was very fortunate to have such a quick labor and am thankful I was able to stay focused and handle the intensity of the delivery. My midwife and husband were instrumental in helping me. I also didn't end up having an episiotomy or any tears. It's true what you read – once you have your baby in your arms, you forget about the pain.


text: Okay here goes my story. About a month and half ago I tipped the scales at 160lbs, I'm about 5"11-6"0, 17 years old. This is before Mystic Eric introduced to wbb, and a new training program. Back then I was training like an animal, 7 days a week, talk about over training. Anyways, Mystic Eric set me straight, and I ditched the freakin 7 day a week routine, for a new 3 day buking routine. Right now I sit at 168-169lbs, remeber it's only been about a month and a half. My diet has been clean as a whistle, and I have upped my cals from about 2000 to like 2700-3000. My question is, have I gained fat or muscle, I mean I don't think it can be muscle cause It's only been a month and half, and 8lbs is a lot. But then again I don't really think it's fat because my diet has been "clean" and I have been lifting religiously 3 days a week, and I still have a noticible six pack. Then again, could it be water retention:scratch:

There's no will to fight inflation
Central banks around the world won't stop printing money if it means choking off growth. Don't expect anything different from the U.S. Fed.
The world's central banks are loath to take away the punch bowl. Lest you think otherwise, consider the path forged by the Reserve Bank of Australia.
After recently suggesting it might raise interest rates sometime soon, the bank had a change of heart. I quote from the minutes of its Aug. 4 meeting:
* Bing:What causes inflation?
"A particular source of uncertainty was whether the recent growth in household spending was due mainly to temporary government handouts, in which case it would probably soon fade."
We'll see a variation of the Bloomberg headline for that story -- "Australia's RBA sees danger of raising rates too soon" -- often in the days ahead. That's because all of the central banks will be particularly reluctant to snuff out any "green shoots" in the economy.
And, when you remember that business is booming in Australia versus America (via its strong housing and commodity markets), you can only imagine how slow the U.S. Federal Reserve will be to take away the punch bowl here. This is all the more true given the political heat it will face as the unemployment problem proves to be particularly intractable.
Indeed, until the U.S. reaches full employment (which I don't think will happen for many years), the pressure will be on the Fed to keep printing money.
Is the great recession is over?
A bull with post-downturn trauma
Staying physically & financially fit
U.S. Social Security crunch coming
Has natural gas hit bottom? Not yet
Blog: Does a vacation home make sense?
Trouble over the pond, too
Of course, the Australian central bank is not alone. Similar cooing sounds were uttered by the Bank of England as it recently upped its quantitative easing. Meanwhile, the Aug. 19 Financial Times carried a story headlined "ECB urges more stimulus measures."
It began: "Emergency growth-stimulating policies are still needed to support continental Europe's fragile economic recovery, even though Germany and France have emerged from recession, a top European Central Bank policymaker has warned. Axel Weber, Germany's Bundesbank president, made clear he would not rush to withdraw the extensive measures taken by governments and the ECB."
Money printing is just too easy (and seemingly painless) for central planners-cum-bankers to resist.
Noxious greenback emissions
That brings me to an Aug. 18 op-ed piece by Warren Buffett in The New York Times. In "The greenback effect," he described why the Fed is doing all of this money printing, though he doesn't explain the root cause of what he thinks "necessitated" it in the first place. Let me do so: The root cause is the Fed, which created the housing bubble, aided by the abdication of responsibility on the part of regulators, which led to the near collapse of the financial system.
Nonetheless, Buffett did point out where we are headed in terms of dealing with the massive deficits that have arisen from the bailouts:
"Legislators will correctly perceive that either raising taxes or cutting expenditures will threaten their re-election. To avoid this fate, they can opt for high rates of inflation, which never require a recorded vote and cannot be attributed to a specific action that any elected official takes. In fact, John Maynard Keynes long ago laid out a road map for political survival amid an economic disaster of just this sort: 'By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. . . . The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.'"
My readers will recognize that process as one I have described for years in shorthand format: In a social democracy with a fiat currency, all roads lead to inflation.
Buffett warns, "Unchecked greenback emissions (his clever synonym for money printing) will certainly cause the purchasing power of currency to melt" -- which I agree with.
And he concludes, "The (U.S.) dollar's destiny lies with Congress." Well, if that's the case, we all know how this movie ends, because U.S. government won't have the foresight or the willpower to address the underlying problems until long after it's possible to have helped ameliorate them.
Besides, while U.S. Congress has done us little good, the real problem is the Fed. But I think that on another point, Buffett and I would certainly agree: If nothing of any consequence is done (which is my expectation), the nascent funding crisis I've written about will become a full-fledged train wreck.

It's unseasonably warm this 1950s summer in Dublin. Inspector Hackett takes pathologist Quirke with him when he goes to investigate what's made to seem like the suicide of a prominent Dublin businessman. They find and interview the ever-so-cool Mrs. Jewell and her sister-in-law fragile Dannie. Clues take Quirke back to his orphanage past. This is a wonderful mystery series, though I didn't care much for the last one 'Elegy for April'. Black, or John Banville, his real name, is in fine form in this one, bringing in all the family members those reading this series will grow fond of—flaws and all. Thankfully, Quirke is somewhat 'on the wagon' this book, making it easier for me to like him!

I don't even know if it's worth living anymore. I'm sick of flirts and teases. I'm sick of these emotions. I'm sick of my parents always yelling at me for the smallest things. Does anyone have a gun? I'm gonna fucking pull the trigger to my head, because if not mine, then it'll be to the head of someone who really gets on my nerves. So don't be that person, unless you wanna meet me in hell.
Joey Uy. It wouldn't be life if some serious bullshit wasn't involved. That's something I wanna say right away.
Relationships are hard to come by. For some people more than others. Me included. Joey, I've never had a legitimate boyfriend before. Everytime I come close, I find out that it's all wrong. And it definitely hurts to be led on. I feel you on that one. It's not an easy thing. All I've ever wanted to do was fall in love. But it takes so much effort. Some chicks flirt and tease, but there are genuine girls out there who could like you immensely. So don't miss out on them. You have to find them. All that single-ready-to-mingle-but-not-getting-anything-so-far shit? I'm in the same boat, homie. I know how ya feel, so don't hesitate to talk to me about it.
And sorry to quote a Will Smith song, but parents just don't understand. I have lived with my dad, and only my dad, for so long. And it's so hard being a girl brought up by just a father. He doesn't understand certain aspects of my life. He doesn't understand why I do certain things. In fact, he doesn't understand my passion for theatre. He only sees a fraction of the things I see. But that's to be expected. Sometimes they just put you through some serious mind-fuckery (come on, that word HAS to make you smile!). They're here on this earth to raise us and look out for us. And it gets so much harder for them when we're teenagers. You'll definitely see them start to get pissier in your senior year. You're their kid and you're growing up. It's hard for 'em. So even though they might not realize it, they can be extra hurtful during our teen years. But I'm talking like I'm 30 years old or something. Truth is, I'm still going through it myself. But they love you, fer sure.
But Joey Uy, if you ever do so much as think suicidal thoughts, I would be completely beside myself. I would miss you completely. I would cry buckets (But We Don't quote?) And so would countless others. Don't ever think about cutting your life short. Ever. You can do so much in your lifetime, believe me. Don't take your happiness, your talent, and your good nature away from the world. We'd lose so much.
I'm curious.
Who the fuck are ya? (:
I'm probably going to wind up hitting a car.
I've come to the realization that when you ask people to imagine what the future would look like, they think of one thing:
Flying cars.
Which is probably our idea of our outermost technological limit.
I never know what to say when somebody tells me I'm different. Different from who?
Am I Zooey Deschanel different or Lady Gaga different?
I met a man of 2 feet tall.
This man was quite ambitious
in a world that is so vicious to us all.
I said "Hi." as he replied.
He said
"Listen to these words that I have lived by my whole life:
You're only as tall as your heart will let you be
and you're only as small as the world will make you seem.
And when the going gets rough
and you feel like you may fall…
just look on the brightside - you're roughly 6 feet tall."
I met a man of 12 feet tall.
He towered like a giant
in a world that is defiant of his height.
I said "Hi." as he replied.
He said
"Listen to these words that I have dreaded by my whole life:
You're only as tall as your heart will let you be
and you're only as small as the world will make you seem.
And when the going gets rough
and you feel like you may fall…
just look on the brightside - you're roughly 6 feet tall."
I am a man of 6 feet tall.
Just looking for some answers
in a world that answers none of them at all.
I'll say "Hi",
but not reply to the letters that you write
because I found some piece of mind.
Cause I'm only as tall as my heart will let me be
and I'm only as small as the world will make me seem
and when the going gets rough
and I feel like I may fall…
I'll look on the brightside - I'm roughly 6 feet tall.
I believe
that there are times
even in the strangest of places
when I can feel
the ocean air.
It's so much harder to order food at a restaurant when your waitor looks like a Calvin Klein underwear model.
Is it just me, or is there a rising spike in the number of white dudes with dreds in shitty, conformatory rock bands?
I'm looking in your direction, Disturbed and Decyfer Down.
I don't think anybody can legitimately play a keyboard while head-banging.
It might just be impossible.
And why would you want to? You're playing the fucking keyboard, mate. Gotta be a little more A-ha and a little less Metallica.
I am not a breakfast person. Never have been.
I just don't understand the concept. I just slept for 8 hours, so I'm immediately going to eat pancakes and bacon? I have never once woken up and thought "Damn, I'm hungry."
I mean sure, it gives your body energy for the rest of the day and all the bullshit. All I really need is a cup of coffee or some OJ and I've got my energy. I don't like eating breakfast. Seems unnecessary to me.
I feel like the only REAL reason people eat breakfast is just because it's part of the routine. Not because they're actually hungry.
But that's just me. Maybe people actually are hungry. I dunno.
It may sound stupid to the rest of the world, and I know that it really IS stupid, but this is how I roll.
Breakfast is WEIRD.
I thought I had the next few years of my life planned already. Come to find out that I don't even know what's goin' down tomorrow.
So everybody better get used to me talking about Drama Club.
Please add svhstheatre/tumblr.com or at least bookmark it if you're involved in theatre at Vista. It has all of the info about Drama Club/Advanced class/meeting dates/rehearsals or shows in the Vegas area/and muchmuchmuch more.
You heard me. Favorite that website.
Or you'll spontaneously combust.
And that's pretty much the gist of it.
Peter Rabbit would be wise to stay out of Mr. McGregor's garden.

Finding Big Questions in the Details
No one could accuse Rebecca O' Connor of taking things at face value. While working as an R.N., O'Connor was surprised to discover red tape prevented willing and able medical workers from helping in the immediate aftermath of the 2004 Asian tsunami. So, she formed a nonprofit to facilitate the placement of medical workers in disaster areas in Sri Lanka after the tsunami, in Pakistan after an earthquake, and in Houston and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
Years later, as a research nurse coordinator in the Department of Endocrinology and Diabetes at Seattle Children's Hospital, O'Connor noticed a high number of young East African immigrants among those treated for type 1 diabetes. "The picture of type 1 diabetes is mostly white, mostly urban, (and hailing) from northern climates," she said. "To suddenly see all these East African kids was really strange -- I wanted to know what was going on."
Although she originally had no intention of going back to school, in 2009, O'Connor began the PhD program at the UW School of Nursing, with a strong desire to understand the issues behind the rise in type 1 diabetes in East African youth by looking at patients at Seattle Children's Hospital.
During a pilot study, she found that East African immigrant children (children whose families emigrated from Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Somalia, or Eritrea) made up 51% of the Black, type 1 diabetes patients, but only comprised 20% of the overall Black population in Seattle. Initial study results suggested that East African immigrant children may have 2.5 times higher prevalence rates of type 1 diabetes (based on population estimates) and higher rates of family history of type 1 when compared to non-immigrant Black children.
Her dissertation research confirmed initial findings that the estimated prevalence rate for type 1 diabetes was nearly four times higher in East African immigrant youth compared to non-immigrant Black youth in King County (6.76/1,000 vs. 1.74/1,000). The research also indicated that these groups had higher rates of family history of type 1 diabetes and suggested differences may exist in the presence of diabetes auto-antibodies at diagnosis for East African immigrant children.
O'Connor thinks East African immigrants may be genetically predisposed to developing type 1 diabetes but the overly broad ethnicity classifications used in health care may be masking the disease trend. She points to her own experience in trying to research diabetes among immigrant and non-immigrant youth, all of whom were grouped under the 'Black/African-American' race classification. If immigration status and country of origin is not something being tracked, says O'Connor, researchers and clinicians cannot pinpoint group similarities and develop effective interventions.
O'Connor would like to expand her study on type 1 diabetes to address the East African community in Seattle.
"Vulnerable populations," she says, "don't participate frequently in research and don't benefit from it (which can) lead to further health disparities." She believes focused, community-engaged clinical research can help build trust in the research process. Eventually, she hopes to develop targeted interventions that are culturally relevant for the East African community and help children with type 1 diabetes better control blood glucose levels.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Yesterday marked the first time I've ever set foot on the SEMA show floor. I was expecting something big and, truth be told, it proved even bigger than I could have ever imagined. This show is HUGE! Just to add some perspective: the entire exhibition area covers more than 1 million square feet... or roughly the equivalent of 18 American football fields!
With about 3,000 stands and an even greater number of models (cars, that is), SEMA is any gearhead's paradise. Everywhere you look, something catches your attention, from an almighty Veyron to a fully-restored 1965 Mustang Fastback. Or even a Cruze.
My rookie day turned out to be pretty intense with numerous product launches from various manufacturers. Figuring out my way through the crowd and the commotion only made things more eventful – it's like a giant maze out there! After walking around for nearly eight hours, let's just say that I have a good idea of what the next few days will feel like.
Now that I know what to expect, and where to go, I should have an easier, more enjoyable time covering the show today.
And I'm off. Rest assured, I'll come back to you with loads of pictures. Check out our complete coverage of the 2011 SEMA show on Auto123.com.
