5 stocks to buy on Europe's woes
News of economic struggle and protests has led many investors to turn their backs on European stocks. That means prices for Nestlé, Volvo and other big names are attractive.
When images of violent protests in Spain and Greece hit TV screens again last week, they reminded us that Europe was still a long way from resolving its problems -- despite the relative calm of recent months.
Sure, there's still a sense of relief in the air -- as reflected in Monday's rally -- thanks to European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi's pledge to do "whatever it takes" to save the euro. Chiefly, this will mean centralized European purchases of debt issued by the shakier countries to keep their bonds from blowing up.
But here's the problem -- which has had investors fleeing Europe and has created a good buying opportunity in the now low-priced stocks of European companies: Any centralized bond purchases will come with conditions. The governments of troubled countries like Italy, Spain and Greece have to impose austerity in government spending and make labor-market reforms to improve their creditworthiness and competitiveness.
These reforms will continue to spark protests -- and that will continue to worry investors. After all, protesters may prevail and push back on reform so successfully that the eurozone falls apart. That would be terrible news for the economy and for most European stocks.
But this meltdown scenario won't play out, because it's ultimately in the interest of European countries to maintain the union -- and they know it.
Michael Brush
"Europeans want to be together," says Chad Deakins, the portfolio manager of the RidgeWorth InternationalEquity Fund (STITX). "They recognize they need each other to compete as a global trading bloc against the U.S. and China." Together, Europe's gross domestic product is 85% of U.S. GDP. "Divided, they don't have much critical mass."
If he's right -- and I think he is -- that makes European stocks a classic contrarian play right now: Buy on the protests, collect on the peace. Here's why, and what you might invest in now.
Priced for nervousness
Many European stocks look downright cheap right now. Collectively, they trade for around 12 times earnings, compared with 14.6 times earnings for U.S. stocks, says Deakins.
And no, it's not 100% clear that Europe will get out of its mess. But with contrarian investing, it's never 100% clear you're right until after the fact -- and then it's too late to act, says Ramond Vars of the NorthRoad International Y Fund (NRIEX), which gets Morningstar's top, five-star rating and which is heavily overweight Europe right now.
"We are concerned, but that fear is what gives us the value opportunity," says Vars. "We are finding great global businesses that are undervalued compared to their peers around the world. We think Europeans will muddle through and do what they have to do."
One great way to invest in this theme, says Deakins: Go with European companies whose stocks are suppressed because of their European addresses, even though they do much of their business elsewhere in the world.
Portfolio managers at NorthRoad International agree with this approach, and you can see it in their fund's profile. Three-fourths of the fund is in Europe-based companies, but just 31% of the sales made by the companies it owns are collected in that region.
Now let's take a look at several stocks favored by fund managers bullish on Europe. Most of these are American depositary receipts, or bank-issued certificates that represent the shares of companies on foreign exchanges. They trade like U.S. stocks.
1. Nestlé
Based in Switzerland, Nestlé (NSRGY) seems like a quintessentially European company. So, naturally, investors are worried that austerity measures and the uncertain economic outlook there will weigh on Nestlé's results, and its stock, as consumers trim spending.
But Nestlé has a huge global distribution platform -- so big that it is the largest packaged food and beverage company in the world, by sales. It's a key supplier to many grocery chains, even here in the U.S. You're no doubt familiar with its Nescafé coffee. But Nestlé is also the company behind Poland Spring and Perrier bottled water, prepared foods sold under the Hot Pockets, Lean Cuisine and Stouffer's brands, Coffee-Mate nondairy creamer, Kit Kat candies, and even pet foods like Friskies and Purina.
Nestlé boasts such powerful brands, pricing power and marketing savvy that it has been able to generate nice sales growth even through the difficult times of the past few years, says Vars, of the.
More important for investors, Nestlé has a big presence in faster-growing emerging markets, which account for about 40% of sales. Nestlé recently predicted that by 2020 it can triple sales in Asia and Africa, where it is already the largest food company. Nestlé so much solid financial strength it can borrow at rates below those paid by many governments and use those funds -- plus its sizable cash flow -- to reinvest in great businesses around the world "regardless of what happens in Europe," says Vars.
So its forecast of 5% to 6% annual sales growth seems believable. "We believe it could surprise on the upside over the medium term," says Morgan Stanley analyst Eileen Khoo, who has an overweight rating on the stock.
2. Volvo
Volvo (VOLVY) has been transformed in recent years. In fact, Volvo isn't primarily a carmaker anymore. It also manufactures trucks, buses and construction equipment. It's facing a slowdown in several markets around the world. But the fact that it is based in Europe and seen as a European company explains why the stock is inexpensive, says Deakins. Its ADR has moved up to $14 from $11 in June, but it is still down from around $20, where it traded in early 2011.
With Volvo, you get paid a dividend yield of around 3% as you wait for the stock to move up. What might make that happen? Progress by Europeans toward resolving their credit crisis would help the economy there and boost Volvo sales. There's a kicker here, as well. An aging truck fleet in Europe is due for replacement, and this should support sales, too, says JPMorgan Cazenove analyst Alexander Whight, who has an overweight rating on the stock. Aging fleets in North America and Japan are also due for upgrades, he says.
Volvo is also going through an overhaul that will cut costs and boost margins, says Whight. For example, it is rolling out common electrical and suspension systems that should save money because they can be used across brands. And Volvo is introducing new value lines of trucks that should also help sales, says Morgan Stanley's Laura Lembke, who has an overweight rating on the stock.
3. Koninklijke Ahold
To successfully invest in Europe right now, you have to follow three basic guidelines, says Marco Priani, portfolio manager of the Advisory Research International Small Cap Value (ADVIX) fund:
- Go with companies that have no exposure to the debt of peripheral countries such as Spain and Greece.
- Go with companies that have solid balance sheets and thus don't have to roll over a lot of debt.
- Favor companies that get a lot of revenue from outside the eurozone.
Koninklijke Ahold (AHONY), which runs supermarket chains, fits all three, says Priani. It doesn't own shaky government debt. It generates lots of cash, so it has good financial strength -- enough to support a 4% dividend yield, in fact. And while it is based in the Netherlands, where it's one of two main supermarket operators, it gets about half its profits from the U.S. Here, it operates Giant and Martin's Food Markets chains, among others.
Ahold, now trading at less than 10 times earnings, is historically cheap, says Priani. And fears about the company may be overblown.
Besides harboring concerns about Dutch consumers, investors are worried about Ahold because U.S. competitor Supervalu (SVU) suspended its dividend in July and guided down on earnings as sales weakened.
But Barclays analyst James Anstead, who has an overweight rating on Ahold, thinks Dutch consumers will hang in there. And he says Supervalu's problems are company-specific, brought on in part by excessive debt. In fact, Anstead says Ahold might actually benefit from Supervalu's problems by picking up stores from its troubled competitor. Anstead expects Ahold to post substantial dividend growth over the next few years, and possibly announce a stock-buyback plan in 2013 -- both of which would support this stock.
4. Sanofi
Shares of European drug-maker Sanofi (SNY) are at multi-year highs, at $44, so it might seem odd to argue that the stock is being held back by fears about Europe. But shares of the Paris company would probably be even higher if investors weren't fleeing Europe-focused mutual funds in droves, putting downward pressure on the stock.
Sanofi does face problems because it is based in Europe, where governments are pressuring down drug prices as part of their austerity measures. But Sanofi gets only about 24% of its sales from Western Europe, and a lot of that is from over-the-counter products and animal-care products -- areas not under government pressure, points out JPMorgan Cazenove analyst Richard Vosser. He has an overweight rating on the stock in part because Sanofi gets more than 30% of its sales from emerging markets, and the potential there is still big. Sanofi CEO Chris Viehbacher recently pointed out that the company has reached only 20% of the population in China thus far.
Another big fear with pharma companies like Sanofi is the "patent cliff" -- or the threat from generic drugs as patent protection rolls off for blockbuster drugs. But these fears may be overblown for Sanofi, says RidgeWorth's Deakins. By the end of 2013, most of the big patent losses at Sanofi will be in the past.
And it will soon be rolling out new potential blockbusters to replace them. "Sanofi is approaching several potential launches that should help reinvigorate growth in late 2013," says Morningstar analyst Damien Conover. These include drugs like Zaltrap for cancer, Aubagio and Lemtrada for multiple sclerosis, Lyxumia for diabetes, and Kynamro for high cholesterol. Despite recent outperformance, "we still see an attractive risk/reward profile," says Morgan Stanley analyst Peter Verdult, who has an overweight rating on the stock.
5. Schneider Electric
American depositary receipts of Schneider Electric (SBGSY), which sells power-management products such as circuit breakers and panel boards, have been weak since mid-September, falling to about $12 from above $13.75. Renewed doubts about Europe probably explain some of this move. The company is based in France, and it does much of its business in Europe.
But fears about Europe's impact on this business are overblown, maintains Vars, because most of the company's business is from outside Europe. It does about 40% of its business in emerging markets.
In addition, the nature of its business gives it pricing power, says Vars. Schneider Electric's products typically account for just a small part of an overall construction project budget, but they are essential in part because they often help save energy. "That gives them pricing power," says Vars. "People aren't going to mess around and try to go with an alternative." He thinks the stock looks cheap, and he expects 20% to 30% upside from here.

It works!
I got a free "PC-only" QuickCam Express from Verizon when I signed up for DSL. It was worthless until I tried this hint. While the mcam and VideoScript commandline drivers are still a little buggy (both beta), they do work pretty well.
It works!
it probably is the nobody problem. check the rights of the folder in which you save the image
# ls -la /webcam/image/folder
If security is not an issue on that mac, and you want to make things easy, just make sure that it is read-writeable to all users...
# sudo chmod o+rw /webcam/image/folder
(make sure all the folders above have the 'x' bit on for others).
Also, if you currently launch the videoscript command line tool as a command (just the name), try launching it with the full path to it (e.g. /usr/bin/videoscript -f ....).
good luck
It works! (eh, kinda)
I've been trying out this hint, and have run across a couple of different results, neither of which is the one I want.
The first is if I'm at home, sitting at my machine and run the command line, I get an all black .jpg file with white text that says "USB Connection Error" on it. No picture at all. I had an IOX driver installed, and thought it was that conflicting with macam, so removed it (IOX) but still get the error. The camera (Logitech Pro 3000) works fine with macam's gui app. Though, I also get USB Connection Errors every once in awhile through that, as well (USB ports shot?).
When I try to run the script from a command line remotely (at work, for instance) I get the following error:
KCGErrorIllegalArgument : initCGDisplayState: cannot map display interlocks. KCGEErrorIllegalArgument : CGSGetDisplayBounds (display 0)Those are followed by a message that says the script compiled fine, and then it just hangs. I have to Ctrl-Z to suspend the process and then kill it.
I'm still hacking away at it, and will post any results I come up with. Just thought I'd share my experience.
It works! (eh, kinda)
sgecko, did you ever find a solution to this? The same things happened to me, too, on two freshly set up 10.2.5 boxes. My main box will let me run VNC remotely, but not these two other boxes, and all have the same OS version.
It works!
holy shit

"Love latisse!!! -Colts Neck, NJ"
Started using it 4 months ago and my lashes are GORGEOUS now! I had VERY short sparse lashes. I'm a natural red head, so they are also very light. Now they are darker, thicker and MUCH longer! I wish this product was around years ago! I'm sorry I didn't start it sooner! It's the best $150 I've spent on a cosmetic item my whole life! No joke!! more
"Lashes of my Youth--and then Some -..."
Though it took two months to notice results, I am very pleased with my long, dark lashes. As a blonde with light-colored lashes that have thinned over the years, I've worn lots of mascara to try to bring my eyes out. With Latisse I now need only one coat for day, an an extra for a glam look. I get compliments on my long, lush eyelashes quite frequently. I'm now experiencing something I haven't... more
"Just Started Latisse, Covered by my..."
I am not sure if it was a mistake but I only paid $50 at the drug store with my medical card. Doctor told me it's cosmetic and wouldn't be covered.
I have another 5 refills and can't wait to see results. more
"Great for Eyebrows Also - Florham..."
After over tweezing when I was younger I was left with thin uneven eyebrows. After using on my lashes I brush it over my eyebrows, instantly my eyebrows started to grow back where they were gone for over 30 years. more
"Latisse - After 4 Weeks of Use -..."
Started using Latisse last week of January.
First week mild redness in eyes that disappeared the following week. 2nd week threw out the applicators and started using a fine eyeliner brush. Note the biggest con about this product is only the applicators provided by Allergan. They are in my opinion, akin to using a scratchy paintbrush on your eyes and causes product... more

I have graduated!
It's been over four months since my last post. A lot has happened since then, but most importantly: I have graduated and now proudly hold a Master's degree in Computer Science!
Needless to say, I have been quite busy working on my thesis these past months. Titled Evolutionary Music Composition - A Quantitative Approach, it explores the use of Artificial Evolution for the automatic generation of novel music. Here are two sample melodies: "Zelda" (evolved from scratch) and "Let It Be" (inspired by The Beatles' song).
It has been quite a journey and I can't help but feel a bit sad that my time as a student is over. But who knows, I might return to academia one day…
Apart from graduating, I have also…
- Spent the Easter holidays in Tanzania on Safari. Photos will eventually appear on Flickr.
- Attended GECCO 2011 in Dublin, where I presented a poster related to my thesis.
- Traveled the north-western coast of Norway, camping along the way.
At the time of writing, I'm in Berlin attending The Desktop Summit 2011 :)
After that an exciting job at ARM awaits!

The Dresden Files
'The Dresden Files'
The show: Harry Dresden is a wizard who helps the police out with "strange" cases that require his talents. Other main characters include a cop, a Warden of the High Council (wizard governing body), and a disembodied spirit.
Typical villain: Magical beings, and sometimes just clever criminals.
Ability: Magic. Spells for revealing truths, picking locks, fighting evil spells.
Longevity: The show only lasted one season, despite being produced by Nicolas Cage. So, magical movies where the central character is named Harry don't always draw crowds.

Wireless might be a better, make that a more reasonable option, but if you've got some hacking skills you'd do what this guy did: hack a Nintendo DS to act as a remote viewer and controller for a Digital SLR camera.

His motive you ask? He got sick of lugging around his laptop from shoot to shoot.

The Fascinating World of Graph Theory
The fascinating world of graph theory goes back several centuries and revolves around the study of graphs—mathematical structures showing relations between objects. With applications in biology, computer science, transportation science, and other areas, graph theory encompasses some of the most beautiful formulas in mathematics—and some of its most famous problems. For example, what is the shortest route for a traveling salesman seeking to visit a number of cities in one trip? What is the least number of colors needed to fill in any map so that neighboring regions are always colored differently? Requiring readers to have a math background only up to high school algebra, this book explores the questions and puzzles that have been studied, and often solved, through graph theory. In doing so, the book looks at graph theory's development and the vibrant individuals responsible for the field's growth.
Introducing graph theory's fundamental concepts, the authors explore a diverse plethora of classic problems such as the Lights Out Puzzle, the Minimum Spanning Tree Problem, the Königsberg Bridge Problem, the Chinese Postman Problem, a Knight's Tour, and the Road Coloring Problem. They present every type of graph imaginable, such as bipartite graphs, Eulerian graphs, the Petersen graph, and trees. Each chapter contains math exercises and problems for readers to savor.
An eye-opening journey into the world of graphs, this book offers exciting problem-solving possibilities for mathematics and beyond.
Arthur Benjamin is professor of mathematics at Harvey Mudd College. His books include Secrets of Mental Math and Proofs That Really Count. Gary Chartrand is professor emeritus of mathematics at Western Michigan University. Ping Zhang is professor of mathematics at Western Michigan University. Chartrand and Zhang are the coauthors of several books, including A First Course in Graph Theory and Discrete Mathematics.
"This is a beautiful introduction to graph theory! It is filled with fun material, clear explanations, and a nice collection of exercises. A great book."—William J. Cook, author of In Pursuit of the Traveling Salesman
"The Fascinating World of Graph Theory is wonderfully written. Entertaining applications appear first and the stories that accompany the examples go well beyond what most other books provide. This book is sure to gain a following."—Jonathan L. Gross, Columbia University

Season 1 (Episode 1 - 44 (Original), Episode 1 - 36 (Redux))The Wrath of Pharaohmon - The first entry, created in 2003. The Tamers, Legendary Wariors, Duelists, (most of the) Sailor Senshi and the Spirit Detectives are living in Tokyo when an evil digimon named Pharaohmon escapes into the human world and possesses a young boy named Lance, then begins plans of world domination, which the heroes must band together to stop. Starts out a bit rough, but It Gets Better about halfway through, when Pharaohmon creates a simultaneous Cell-style battle tournament and Duel Monsters tournament.
Season 2 (Episode 1 - 28)The Invasion of the Rajita - The Rajita, alien enemies of the Sailor Senshi arrive and use the power of the Orichalcos to steal the souls of the people of Earth. The Tamers awaken the spirits of the Four Saint Beasts (Suzaku, Seiryuu, Genbu, and Byakko) and receive new powers (and training from the Sailor Senshi) with which to fight. Meanwhile, Kaiba tries to fuse the Digital World with the world of the Duel Monsters, but due to a slight miscalculation, it works a little too well and the Rajita use it to capture the Digimon Sovereigns, leading the DigiDestined to arrive and help the heroes out.
Season 3 (Episode 1 - 63)Dawn of Chaos - Many digicycles ago, the Dark God Valmarmon was defeated by the Light God Granasmon and split into seven pieces, which were spread across the Digital World(s). Now, evil digimon led by Madoudramon are on a hunt for the missing pieces in order to bring Valmarmon back to life, and the DigiDestined, Tamers, Legendary Wariors, and DATS must unite to stop them. Meanwhile, the Neo-Rajita, alien survivors who fled to the Digital World, resurface and attack the Sailor Senshi, while the Demon Priests from the Meikai attempt to retrieve the Demon Stones from the Spirit Detectives in order to revive their Dark God, the taiyoukai Arago. To top it off, a group calling itself the Paradais Knights is using technology from the future to hack into Kaiba Corp's satellite to remove the Duel Disks' holographic safeties and force the Duelists, (including those from Duel Academy) into duels where the damage is real. Things look bleak until the Neo Senshi (led by Chibi-Usa) and the Signers arrive from the future to help out. However, a villainous duo manipulating the whole setting, a dark sailor senshi named Sailor Charon and the cloaked Prophet, are scheming for the apocalyptic 'Dawn of Chaos'/Actually towards the end, its a cover up for The End of Days which finally reveals in Chapter 61 that the duo reveal themselves to be Chaos and Millenniummon. Their final phase is to send all the heroes into various dimensions of anime and other popular culture, so that once the two villains fuse into ChaosMillenniummon, the monstrosity plans to assimilate and destroy many dimensions (alongside their enemies) to expand their network.
Related StoriesThese are tie-in stories that take place before or after a 'season trilogy' story(s). They give more background information and future events, introducing new characters, and they are not as lengthy as a season.
Other StoriesThese stories are where the YYGDM-01 characters appear as guests in some form.
The stories provide examples of:
One thing is for sure, we're in for a huge game changer that'll shape the rest of our lives. - Takato Matsuda (Wrath of Pharaohmon Redux, Final Chapter)

Zeros and Equivalents
by Orlo Hoadley - 2/25/96
Why Use Zeros and Equivalents?1. To add variety to your calling. Also remember that you can use a Zero in the middle of another Zero -- just don't forget to finish the first Zero after the second one is completed. Also, a Zero sequence is like a ring: if it ends up at the same place it started, it doesn't matter just where you start. In other words, a Zero sequence can be started from any formation that is made during the sequence, and will return the set to the same formation when the sequence is completed.
2. If there is an awkward change of movement between two calls in a pattern you want to use, or awkward use of the same hand twice in a row, you can usually insert a Zero or replace one of the calls with an Equivalent that is picked to match up well with the preceding and following movements. This is another reason for having a good assortment of Z/E's in your toolkit.
3. To feature a particular call or combination of calls that you want to give your dancers some practice on.
4. To break up a commonly-used dance pattern and slow down hot-shot dancers who are rushing or anticipating the caller.
5. If you are composing a singing call, a Zero might be handy to fill out the time to the standard 64 beats of music, for instance, a Swing (4 beats) or a Dos-a-dos (8) just before the final Promenade. Or, if you've got too much action, you can often save some time with a well-chosen Equivalent.
Points to WatchAlthough a Zero puts the dancers back in the same setup where they started, they may not end up facing in the same walls as when they started. For instance, an Eight Chain Thru (8 hands) puts the dancers back into the same footprints where they started from -- so it's a Position Zero -- while Eight Chain Four is also a Zero but rotates the whole set by 180o. That doesn't matter when you are calling hash, but it is important if you want to use the Zero in a singing call. Some Zeros will rotate the set by 90o or 270o, or a quarter turn to the right or the left.
The movements of the dancers at the beginning and the end of a Zero or Equivalent are not usually mentioned. This means that the caller should be careful that the movement of the dancers at the beginning of a Z/E (Zero or Equivalent) follows smoothly from their movement at the end of the preceding call, and also that the movement at the end of the Z/E should lead smoothly into whatever call he wants to use next.
Don't overuse a few simple Z/E's. Many of your dancers will catch on real quick, and start to find your choreography boring. But don't discourage yourself by trying to learn everything at once. Pick out a few that sound interesting to you and practice with them until you are confident with them and have found out how much variety you can get by putting Zeros into the middle of Equivalents or other Zeros, and by starting from different places in the sequence. Then start learning a few more, to add to your toolbox. A good caller, like any other professional, never stops learning new and better ways to do things.
Some of the following Equivalents and Zeros can only be done starting from "normal" formations, that is, where all couples have a man on the left and a lady on the right. Others don't have any sex-sensitive calls, which means they can be done no matter where the men and the ladies are positioned in the formation. A good exercise is for you to go through them and pick out which is which. Also pick out which can be used in a Miniset (2 couples).
ZerosNote: Because Right & Left Thru is a two-time zero, it doesn't matter, to the formations, whether it is the first call or the last call of a zero. Also, if it is left off the beginning or end of a zero sequence, the rest of the sequence is a RLT equivalent.

What if the ANATROLLER ARI-100 robot is implemented by our government for cleaning our environment up to some extent ???
As the use of humans is decreasing in the factory and other industrial applications, the use of robots are bringing a great demand.So now the costs of robots such as anatroller ARI-100 is getting decreased.The use of anatroller is only up to some extent such as in prisons and other highly recommended places.Also in some of the under developed and developed countries the work of municipalities and other cleaning communities are unsuccessful. The governments are implementing more advanced technologies in many of the places.Even though the government and all the people all over the world are aware of environmental pollution but none of them are taking an active part in saving it.What if the ANATROLLER is used in cleaning the environment and also helpful in removing some hazardous gases.ANATROLLER ARI-100 which would be useful in cleaning our polluted environment up to some extent.

81 wins
It's August 26th and the Cubs are already an 81 win team. They are the first team to win 81 this season - in fact, no other team even has 80 at this point. With 31 games remaining, the Cubs need to go 19-12 in order to win 100.
The Cubs are now guaranteed to finish .500 or higher, calming the many Cub fans who will never forget 1977. One of our readers asked how long it's been since the Cubs reached .500 as early as the 25th of August. The answer, I have learned, is Wednesday, August 21st of 1929. That day, the Cubs won their 76th game. In fact, the Cubs have very rarely ever surpassed the .500 mark for the season in August. Going from 2007 down to 1935, when I gave up and decided to just find the answer, here are the years, dates, records, and teams beaten:
2007: Friday, September 21. 81-73 after beating Pittsburgh
2004: Friday, September 17, 81-64 after beating Cincinnati
2003: Tuesday, September 16, 81-70 after beating the Mets
2001: Friday, September 21, 81-66 after beating Houston
1998: Wednesday, September 9, 81-65 after beating Pittsburgh
1995: Tuesday, September 28, 72-69 after beating Houston"
1993: Monday, September 27, 81-76 after beating Los Angeles
1989: Monday, September 11, 81-63 after beating Montreal
1984: Saturday, September 1st, 81-54 after beating Atlanta
1977: Monday, September 26th, 81-76 after beating Philly
1972: Saturday, September 16th, 77-64 after beating the Mets
1971: Wednesday, September 22nd, 81-74 after beating the Mets
1970: Thursday, September 24th, 81-74 after beating St. Louis
1969: Friday, August 29th, 81-52 after beating Atlanta (the Cubs would be 30 games over .500 on August 30th)
1968: Wednesday, September 25th, 81-78 after beating Los Angeles
1967: Saturday, September 16th, 81-70 after beating Atlanta
1963: Friday, September 27th, 81-79 after beating the Milwaukee Braves
1946: Monday, September 16, 76-64 after beating Brooklyn
1945: Wednesday, August 29, 76-44 after beating Pittsburgh
1939: Thursday, September 14, 76-62 after beating Philly
1938: Wednesday, September 14, 76-60 after beating the Boston Braves
1937: Wednesday, September 8, 76-52 after beating St. Louis
1936: Friday, September 4, 76-55 after beating Pittsburgh
1935: Thursday, August 29, 76-50 after beating the Boston Braves
As far as 81 wins goes, the Cubs won their 81st game on August 26th in 1929, and that's as close to this year's accomplishment as they get, right up until 1907. In 1907, the Cubs won their 81st game on August 22nd, and in 1906 they won their 81st on August 21.
Those appear to be the only two years that the Cubs won 81 games before August 25th of any year in their history. Oh, by the way, they won the World Championship in one of those seasons.

Grand Renovation
In a little more than a year, the Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa has renovated 400 guest rooms, remodeled its fitness center and retiled the pool, all without ever closing the resort. "Our goal is to present as little disruption to guest experiences as possible because, while it would be great to be able to do all these things at once, it's much more guest-friendly to spread it out and keep the project isolated," says Matt Bailey, managing director at the Grand Wailea.
There's still more work to be done. The first phase of renovation began in March 2007 and cost $50 million. Guest rooms received the most work, stripped down to the concrete and outfitted with new carpet, paint, furniture and amenities, such as 37-inch flat-screen TVs. The Grand Wailea also installed "probably the state's most state-of-the-art fitness center," with $500,000 worth of new equipment. The Spa Grande lobby and resort retail shops have been remodeled as well.
The resort also began construction on Hoolei at Grand Wailea, a collection of luxury town homes adjacent to the resort. When completed, 120 three-bedroom units will be available. Owners of the town homes can partner with the Grand Wailea in a rental program operated by the resort. Owners and renters will have access to all of the Grand Wailea's amenities. The final phase of construction will renovate the remaining 300 rooms. Total cost for renovations will be around $100 million, Bailey says, and should be completed by the end of 2009.
"We already enjoy one of the highest daily average rates in the state. With that come very high guest expectations, so a good portion of the renovation work is really to keep up with our guest expectations and provide the product that they've come to expect," Bailey says.

The new D300s has a starting price of $1800, just like the D300 did, and it is expected to come out next month. You can now place a pre-order at Amazon for $1800. A kit with the new 18-200 DX VR II will also be available at a later time.

Happy Mother's Day to my mom. Kimberly Grubbs. Knowing what I know now, and having experienced what it's like to raise to small children with two parents at home. I am constantly amazed at how well my mom did raising 3 of us by herself. She wasn't dealt the easiest hand with us, she busted her ass to make ends meet, we never once went without anything we needed. Lord knows I wasn't any easy one to raise. I gave this woman lots of hell when I was young, and when I dragged my life through the dirt over an over when I was young she was there every time to help pick me back up. She is the strongest most supporting women I have ever. I love you mom. With all my heart, and I want you to know I appreciate everything you have done for us over the years. Your kids are grown up, successful, and respected. The cards were definitely stacked against you early on, but you persevered, and I can't imagine any of us coming out any better in life had we been givin anyone else as a mom. Thank you, agin and again for all you are. I love you and I hope this weekend is amazing for you. @kimberlygrubbs @viragovixen

She Didn't Have Time (Single)
by Terri Clark
Released: Aug 2005
Label: Mercury Nashville
Long before Gretchen Wilson brought the twang back to New Country radio, Terri Clark was one of a few women proudly rocking redneck roots. Even when she's singing a weepy narrative-driven ballad like this commercial-friendly ditty, Clark still dresses it up with true sawdust-on-the-floor country character.

When the King of Bohemia faces blackmail by famed opera singer Irene Adler, Holmes and his faithful companion, Dr. Watson, find themselves falling into the trap of evil genius Professor Moriarty.

Saso are Jim Lawler and Ben Rawlins who share a unique artistic relationship as a writer / producer partnership and construct the music in their studio in Dublin, developing the songs organically from inception to completion.
Following a five year gap since their last release, Saso return with a new album, titled 'Exitudes', which will be released in November 2011 on the Melted Snow label. The album marks a new chapter for the Dublin-based band, its distinctive atmosphere and textures reflecting the creative uncertainty that preceded the disc's recording, not to mention the wider drama unfolding around them in Ireland.
Although relatively unknown in their home country, Saso are one of the most critically acclaimed bands to come out of Ireland in recent years, establishing a dedicated fanbase in the UK, Europe and the USA. Their de...

Heart Disease Health Center
Technology Gives Glimpse Into Genetics of Heart Attacks, Cancer
April 28, 2000 -- When the Human Genome Project is completed, scientists will have, for the first time, the complete set of instructions for how to make a human being. But once they've collected all 3.2 billion bits of information, give or take a few hundred thousand, what will they do with it?
One group of scientists in California is using new technology that can scan up to 30,000 genes at the same time to figure out whether there are changes in the way that heart tissues recover from damage caused by a heart attack or caused by chronic high blood pressure. Investigators can then follow up on promising leads with more specific laboratory techniques. The information could one day help researchers design better heart drugs, develop new treatments for high blood pressure, and find better ways to identify people who are at risk for having heart attacks.
Other researchers in Florida are using the same technology, called DNA microarray sequencing, to scan the thousands of genes that constitute a cancer cell. They also hope to find information that will aid accurate diagnosis of cancer and improve cancer treatments.
The microarray technology works "like a new kind of microscope," allowing researchers to view the specific set of genes that each cell expresses according to its precisely controlled "genetic script," writes Patrick O. Brown, PhD, MD, associate professor of biochemistry at Stanford University, on his laboratory's web site. This script gives each cell its distinctive design and functional capabilities.
David G. Lowe, PhD, and colleagues from the biotechnology firm Genenetch Inc., in South San Francisco, report in the heart journal Circulation on their use of DNA microarray sequencing to study heart tissue in animals.
They found evidence to suggest that following a heart attack or other type of heart damage, genes that had been active when the heart was developing in the growing fetus, but then shut down, become re-activated in the adult heart. If this is true, it may explain why some people who suffer heart attacks or have high blood pressure suffer from cardiac hypertrophy, a condition in which the heart becomes enlarged in order to compensate for the extra work it is called on to do.
Although cardiac hypertrophy is considered a way for the heart to adapt to illness -- it also puts the heart at greatly increased risk for failure.
Lowe and colleagues got a glimpse of the changes that the heart undergoes, both during fetal development and following a heart attack, by using the microarray technology to take a snapshot of hundreds or thousands of genes at the same time.
They found that 12 genes that are known to be associated with heart development were active in the sample of growing heart tissue. But they also found 10 unidentified sections of DNA that could be new genes and identified 36 genes that had not previously been associated with heart development.

California, a state that once tried to ban Happy Meals from McDonalds, has decided to take on distracted drivers. The state has proposed a regulation that would ban drivers from all types of cell phone use.
"GHSA supports a total ban of cell phone use (hands free and hand held) and text messaging for all drivers," the resolution obtained by The Detroit News says.
"GHSA also supports a ban on electronic devices used for entertainment purposes with video screens that are within view of the driver and a ban for school bus drivers on text messaging or using electronic devices except in emergencies."
If you read that correctly, it basically means that if you own a new Ford and live the Golden State, then the wonderful Sync system could put you in jeopardy. We all know that states have been cracking down on cell phone use, but hands free systems never seemed to be an issue. Needless to say, the automakers are a bit unhappy.
"We support state laws that ban texting or calling while driving if a driver's using a hand-held device. But we realize people are going to have conversations, read maps and directions, and listen to music while they drive. Automakers have worked to make sure this can be done while still maintaining focus on the road," spokesman Wade Newton said to the Detroit News.
If this law does pass, it should be interesting to see how systems like Sync and OnStar will adapt.

The Fairbanks International airport had a festive atmosphere today as an idea from the CEO for ERA Aviation became a reality.The concept was to incorporate synergy between the two Universities within the state.
The ERA plane was painted depicting mascots and the names of the University.
The University of Alaska Fairbanks is represented by the Nanook Bear on one side of the tail section, while The University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolf is on the other side.
Bob Hajdukovich CEO for ERA Aviation, came up with the novel idea.
"you know we have been putting and aircraft on the air certificate for the last four years and this pacific air plane came up as an opportunity it was right after we had done a donation to the aviation department it got me to thinking about how we could show our synergies with the university system and the state. I have three sons that are going through the university systems, plenty of family members and owners to the company all of the university system just a concept I put together."

Smart Ideas: Health Revisited
Different Methods to Consider for Colon Cleansing
In recent years, many people have found the need to make certain changes in their lives in order to generally become more healthy, given the rising costs of healthcare. This might include exercising more, eating healthier foods, as well as cutting down on, if not totally eliminating, any bad or destructive habits. Many people have similarly learned that different detoxification methods, like colon cleansing, can help remove harmful substances from our bodies' systems, making them function more properly. Like many other detoxification methods, there are different ways in which you could go about having your colon cleansed, each with their own benefits and risks.
With a colon cleansing, all of the excess waste material that has accumulated within your digestive tract over time is thoroughly removed by one method or another. By removing harmful toxins, bacteria, and other destructive substances that could damage multiple body parts and systems, colon cleansing helps maintain balance and good health throughout our bodies. By also strengthening your immune system, this will help address some issues you may already have, as well as help prevent many others from developing. If you are thinking of getting your colon cleansed, however, you will definitely have to do your research, since there are many ways this can be done.
Because our body naturally has ways of cleaning out our colon, the simplest way of having your colon cleansed is to adjust your diet and eat certain foods that encourage this natural process. When used in certain doses and combinations, a wide range of fruits, vegetables, as well as herbs and spices, can all help detoxify our bodies. Besides consuming certain foods, we can further help detoxification by at the same time refraining from eating certain foods. After all, the fact that we regularly eat different foods that work against our bodies in various ways is the main reason why we need to clean our colons and detoxify our bodies in the first place.
Other methods of cleaning the colon and detoxifying the body also include using clay or fiber-based cleansers. Both fiber and clay cleansers will generally pass through your digestive system, absorbing and sweeping out whatever toxins and waste that may be lingering there. Usually, using either of these cleansers will not have many negative side effects, if any at all, especially if they are made with natural substances. Still, if you are considering using these cleansers, it will be best to consult with a medical professional to ensure that you do so as safely as possible.
Anything that we can do to make ourselves healthier will also help us save a good amount of money, since healthcare costs do not seem to be decreasing anytime soon. In this, we should never underestimate the value of having our colon cleansed and generally detoxifying our bodies. Again, with so many colon cleansing options available, you should really get started right away with researching which of these will benefit you the most.
