How Victor Hugo Helped Create the Joker
Of course, no one in the film stands out more than Gwynplaine, played by the famous actor Conrad Veidt, formerly the star of the The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Veidt portrayed Gwynplaine with a permanent distended grin that did not look so much like a deformity, as it did a violent madness, even in the scenes where he was simply being sad.
Being a comic book nerd, I guess I always assumed that it was common knowledge that the Joker was heavily visually inspired by The Man Who Laughs, but this is worth taking a look at if only to see just how creepy Conrad Veidt was in that movie.

Wykeham & Broxa Organiser's Comments
Thanks to Jeff Harris for an excellent course in these 2 mature forests separated by the steep sided Derwent Valley. The wet winter and spring followed by a mild, damp summer meant that the vegetation had grown vigorously so some of the tracks were quite overgrown so that I can still feel the effects of the thistles and nettles. Also, most of the smaller tracks were soft so the going was tougher than usual. However, none of this stopped Graham Tibbot from visiting all bar one of the controls!!
Thanks as ever to Jens for another excellent map, Geoff Moorhouse, Karen Blackburn and John Dixon for helping on the day and Tim Evans, Edwyn Oliver-Evans, Adrian Parker, Michael Brough, Dave Evans and Graham Tibbot who collected the controls after they had finished.
Congratulations to Graham Tibbott and the other leaders were Andrew Windrum M40, Mark Rowley M50, Roger de Faye M60, Sheila Pearce W40, Jill Ellison W50, Clare de Faye W60, Angela & Tony Brand Barker X50 and Chris & Roy Partington (Gen). You can follow their routes using the splits file and course map on the NYMBO site.
I enjoyed my ride despite the mud and nettles but just stayed in Wykeham Forest so that I didn't have the dubious pleasure of the byway at Thompson's Stepping Stones.
The next NYMBO events are on the August Bank Holiday weekend at Malham and Dalby. On Saturday, 27th August, Geoff Moorhouse and I have planned a course based on the best of the controls used over the last 6 years. On Monday, 29th August you can sample Dave Lloyd's excellent course in Dalby Forest which is also part of the Eborienteers White Rose weekend.
Hope to see you at another event soon
You'll find the results and splits from Saturday's event here.
The full report should follow tomorrow, but in the meantime, here's a reminder that events at this time of year are a constant battle between rider and the undergrowth – thistles on the bridleway between controls 46 and 36.
Here is the map for Sunday. No need to print it out as you will get your own copy on Sunday morning and riders on the 2 shorter courses will get a larger scale copy.
Here are the route descriptions and paper copies will be given out at registration. There have been 2 changes to the 3 long courses in Sneaton Forest and south of Grosmont.
There will be refreshments available at checkpoints 2,3 and 4. We have got 44 entries so I have ordered another 18 commemorative mugs so there are still 10 spare for online entries tonight and any late entries on Sunday. Let's hope the weather stays dry for the next 4 days. It's a great area so I hope to see you there.
Here's the map for the next MBO event on Saturday 16th July.
The event centre is SAWDON VILLAGE HALL YO13 9DY, 1 mile north of the A170 at Brompton by Sawdon details on the flier here
Enter online here by Wednesday 13th
The annual Moors Marathon is on Sunday 17th, details here July – Marathon Flier and entry here – spread the word amongst your mountain biking friends as this is a great day out biking!
You can find the current league positions here – all the detailed event information in the Results section.
An update on July events will be posted later this weekend!

This is the script below. It browses for the file and it also lets the user view the file too, but I do not receive it in the email with the rest of the info.

If not, I can post the rest of the HTML from that page later. Thanks.

More Ginger than peppermint.
Posted by 4714515573675184078 on May 25, 2014
I bought this mainly for digestive problems I might encounter in life. It is exactly as described. Smells and has a tad more of a ginger taste but the dark green look of peppermint. This last herb mentioned mellows the spiciness of the ginger but ginger dominates which can't be all that bad for digestive problems right? Does help when I overeat. A MUST to have in the pantry! Whether you like it or not.

You can also head downstairs to experience some exquisite classical Cantonese or modern European cuisine.

Zac Efron is doing well after completing a stint in rehab last year.
"I'm so happy," the 26-year-old actor tells People. "I feel like I'm in a great place and I'm glad that I'm really here to share this moment with everybody and be present for all of it. It was an interesting year. I learned so many things. So much. The best part of it was being able to reflect upon that experience and realize how much I have learned about myself and the kind of man I want to be."
Celebrities who've survived scandal
Reports first surfaced in September that Efron had completed a rehab stint for cocaine five months prior. Several days later, Efron thanked fans for their support. "[It] means the world to me," he wrote.
Efron is currently promoting his upcoming film That Awkward Moment, co-starring Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller, which will be released on Friday, Jan. 31. "This movie, these guys and coming back to it and to New York - just being here in this moment, it just kind of exemplifies it," Efron said. "I couldn't be happier. I'm in a great place."

Campus Housing:
The heating situation isn't great in MOST dorms. The newest ones are obviously super nice, but since there's a very limited number of rooms in those buildings, most have a mediocre experience. It's commonly thought East are definitely the worst (yet to be remodeled), Pollock is okay, North is okay, South can be nice depending on the building and floor, and West although dated, is more typical collegiate-looking.
My program has a lot of cool aspects about it. There are a few clubs like National Student Speech Language and Hearing Association and also the Sign Language Organization that are related to the major we are in. Those help out so much. Also, having a clinic at our school is a big plus.
I'm fairly happy as a Communication Sciences and Disorders major. The teachers are very enthusiastic and it's easier to learn and become engaged when they have such a high energy and passion. My career goals are to become an ASHA certified SLP and I don't have too many concerns about finding a job in my field as of now. I am just concerned with graduate school.
Party Scene:
very good. Tons of things going on at night. And if you are not a drinker, there are still tons of options for your late night.
Computer labs are everywhere over Penn State. Computer labs have both mac and pcs in them. They come with a variety of programs preinstalled, so there is no sense in spending hundreds of dollars for software when you can use Penn State's computers
I am in the college of IST, currently a SRA major. The college of IST is small for a large university and the advisors make you feel welcome. Penn State's curriculum has a wide range, so there are many chances to explore your options. My major requires an internship in order to graduate, so it comes with real world experience that prepares students for the future.
Off-Campus Dining:
there are some good places to eat a lot of chain restaurants but some other good ones too
Campus Housing:
Freshman do not have much choice to prefer which dorm in they would want to live in however upper grades do have their prefer choices which is definitely awsome and fair. Although freshman do not have much chocie dorms at pennstate are pretty well established therefore rooms are also in pretty much good condition
shuttle bus service inside the campus operate every 10 minute which is good and its free however when using public transportation to go somewhere else, especially those living in houses and not apartments, need to pay money and every ride is $1.5 so its pretty costly. However if you do live in the apartments you will get bus card which would let you use the shuttles for free at limitted amount
The process of getting into my Human Resource program was not very hard. Once I applied I had to send my transcripts and two letters of recommendation. In addition, I had to write an essay about the reasons why i choose this specific program.
There are many people from different backgrounds and cultures, very diverse setting.
Campus Quality:
Nice small campus with allot of available activities, none appeal to me though
Generally the public transportation is efficient. The on campus service is accessible and convenient, but buses departing from State College could definitely be better. Fullington Trailways is the main bus company, but there have been many times in which my bus has broken down. Also they could offer more options of places to stop at. Megabus is the second widely used bus service and no complaints there. Megabus is megabus. They're always a little late for something, but the ride is generally a smooth and quick one.
I think that campus rules are fair and any punishment that follows from someone's violation of the rules if also fair. The entire on campus housing is dry, and obviously people still drink on campus in their rooms or apartments, but as long as no one is acting wild then there's really no way of getting caught. The rules are set in order to keep people safe. Penn State is known for being a party school so the push to restrict crazy, binge drinking on campus is logical. There are plenty of other things to do aside from drinking so I believe that the rules and following consequences of breaking the rules are necessary and not overbearing. Bottom line, it just comes down to being smart about how you act.
Off-Campus Dining:
There is a decent, diverse selection of restaurants in downtown State College which is right next to campus. I still have yet to eat everywhere downtown, which is why it is my goal before my senior year ends. The one place that I absolutely have to try is Heirwig's I hear they have delicious food. At the moment Kildaire's is my favorite for both food and their massive beer selection.
My parking permit was only $10 which is very reasonable, and I never have a problem finding parking. Everyone needs a car at the Lehigh Valley campus because there is no on-campus housing.
Computers labs are always available and accesible. There are around 4 around campus and one is always empty.
Greek Life:
Not into greek life at all but there are plenty of parties or so I hear!!
Campus Quality:
The faciltiies are awesome!! Being in a region wherre it is very cold, there are plenty of indoor activities to keep me occupied
The process wsa very simple. I jus applied and was accepted. No special forms or papers to write. My major is BIO and its fun and exciting
Campus police are very diligent. They will ticket you if they catch you doing something against the rules. They patrol pretty regulary and have a presence at most events and outdoor venues/events
Off-Campus Dining:
I would rate dining a C. Same few places and are mostly fast food or chain. I like Ponderosa and Brunos because of theease and accesiblity. Fairly reasonably priced
very cold; winter snow; icy sleet
Off-Campus Dining:
Although there are many restaurants around the campus, they are mostly fast food restaurants or very expensive local restaurants. They do not have much variety, especially for vegetarians and vegans. The cost of the fast food restaurants is reasonable, and we get great discounts for delivered food.
Health & Safety:
Campus is very safe during the day. At night there are campus police and the blue light, but there is not enough lighting everywhere on campus at night to make people feel safe, unless they're walking with other people.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Despite common reservations about the location and climate, most Penn State students are fiercely loyal to their alma mater. Penn State boasts one of the largest alumni populations in the United States; graduates are proud of their degrees, and employers recognize the University's name immediately. Although the campus is located in a very rural area, school is technologically up-to-date and on the cutting-edge of current research.
Aside from academics, PSU is also known for its social scene, especially in relation to sports and parties. Nittany Lion football—home of the 2008 Big Ten Champions—is a national draw and a point of pride for both the University and the town of State College. For anyone interested in playing or watching varsity sports, PSU is a top choice. Penn State has also been ranked highly by many polls and "party school" surveys as one of the top party schools in the nation. While it certainly isn't the wildest town, these rankings are definitely accurate. The small-town setting and large-school atmosphere makes for little else in the way of entertainment, so it can be hard to avoid encountering the party scene during your time as a student. Still, the mix of work and leisure seems to work well for most of the student body, and academic standards at Penn State remain relatively high. It's easy to spend four years at Penn State as an ever-serious student, focused completely on whatever you choose to study. With so many opportunities to relax nearby, balance and moderation are some of the best skills to learn from your four years in college.

Many vacationers that flock to Ireland can attest to the Irish people's easygoing and friendly disposition. They are eager to connect with buddies and open to chatting with strangers. Conversations with the Irish is dosed with a lot of good humor and modesty whereby the speakers are careful to play down their achievements. Now, if you are intrigued in interacting with a nearby firsthand, your best bet is to hang out at the local pub. In a pub, if you sit at a booth, they will assume that you want the services but usually want to be left alone. If you sit at the bar, you open yourself up to socializing with other individuals. Really feel totally free to engage the individual seated subsequent to you in a discussion.
Coach Tours to the West Rim arrive with options such as smooth-drinking water rafting on the Colorado River and helicopter rides to the base of the canyon. Or, you can do the Grand Canyon Skywalk, the globe's biggest all-glass cantilevered bridge. You will want to visit the best lookout points too and you can get to these on the free shuttles supplied.
What I was trying to drive on was absolutely nothing more than a tumble of rocks which experienced fallen more than the many years and been trampled by herds of sheep. Speeding alongside at 3 miles an hour I listened to noises coming from my trailer and van which told me they both were sad with my choice of roads.
An escorted touring holiday is a fantastic way to see the west coastline. The Seniors Coach Tours have a tendency to journey at a fairly sluggish tempo, permitting you to see the very best of the Irish landscape, whilst also enjoying the evenings in some of the country's best towns.
"My responsibility with BFW [Baltimore Style 7 days] is to attain out to companies and organizations about donations for this upcoming three day occasion. To receive a yes from Gray Line New York was amazing and they are our initial sponsor for 2012. 2012 is going to be this kind of a great year," said V. Jackson, Important Sponsorship Coordinator for Baltimore Style Week.
The South Rim also provides helicopter and plane excursions. The helicopter excursions final thirty or fifty minutes. The plane tour is a 50-minute ride. That provides you a couple of various choices for an extremely scenic tour. The long chopper trip is most likely the best option since it addresses a large swath of the park and you can see a lot in a brief amount of time.
There is nothing at all else very like the communal spirit that develops even though travelling by educate. Savoring the facilities and foods served onboard permits lots of time for friendships to be formed and discussions to create as the vistas of Europe roll past outdoors the window.
Although this 1 hundred-yr-previous Nationwide Park is really worth more than a day to correctly soak up all which is here you can see fairly a little bit in one working day. Further, you can get a great feeling of what the park is in a day. Strategy your trip and utilize the understanding of the rangers, their advice is indispensable. Next time I arrive, I'll see the west side of the park.

I'm struggling with this issue for hours. I know there are other similar questions here already.
Like: iOS 7 status bar overlapping UI
What I want to do is to adjust them in storyboard, to make them looking well for both iOS 6 and iOS 7. Their answers suggest that we can add 20 to the y of the view. Does it mean to add 20 to every view? Or just add it to the main view under each UIViewController? I think it would be fine to just modify the main view, but I find that it is not editable. If I modify each view's y coordinate value, it would be boring.
Anyone knows the quick fix solutions, please tell me. Thank you very much.

I have a Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H with an i7 and a nvidia gtx 670. Is there anyway to have the i7's graphics run one monitor and the 670 run another?
If your motherboard supports it, you will want to go into the BIOS and look for iGPU or similar to enable the settings. This will allow both graphic cards to be used.
My rig at home is doing the same thing. I have 4 monitors hooked up to a Radeon HD 6970 CF and a smaller monitor using the integrated graphics. Movie and/or Music is on the iGPU where as my productivity stuff is driven by the Radeon.

Jets 5, Maple Leafs 4, SO
Associated Press | Last updated March 16, 2013
Zach Bogosian scored in the 10th round of the shootout to give the Winnipeg Jets a 5-4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. Bogosian beat James Reimer, who replaced starter Ben Scrivens to start the third period, for Winnipeg's second goal of the shootout after Blake Wheeler scored to open the shootout. Tyler Bozak had the lone shootout goal for Toronto. Wheeler had two goals in regulation, James Wright and Antti Miettinen also scored for Winnipeg, which earned its fifth win in six games and moved into first place in the Southeast Division. The Jets are third overall in the Eastern Conference, one point ahead of Carolina after the Hurricanes lost to Tampa Bay 4-1. The standings point helped Toronto move into sixth place in the East. Winnipeg clinched the season series 2-1 after beating Toronto 5-2 at home on Tuesday. Toronto's fifth straight loss tarnished an impressive return by Joffrey Lupul. The veteran forward had two goals in his first game since suffering a broken forearm in a road win over Pittsburgh on Jan. 23. Nikolai Kulemin also scored in regulation for the Maple Leafs. In overtime, Toronto's Kulemin had a good scoring chance after Ondrej Pavelec came out of his net to play a loose puck, but fired a shot wide. Later, Nazem Kadri also had a good chance but couldn't get off a shot. Toronto's Phil Kessel forced overtime, scoring his 10th goal of the season at 5:50 of the third to make it 4-4. Lupul's first period back was an eventful one. He opened the scoring at 1:32 with his first goal of the season. After taking a nice setup pass from Kadri, Lupul fired a backhand past both Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien and Pavelec. After taking two minor penalties in the period, Lupul finished the period by leveling Winnipeg's Evander Kane at the final horn. Winnipeg dominated most of the second, outshooting Toronto 15-8. Wright scored his first of the season at 5:29 to make it 1-1 before Miettinen fired a shot off the post as Toronto didn't register its first shot on goal until the 6:57 mark. Miettinen put Winnipeg ahead 2-1 at 10:36 with his second. He batted a rebound past Scrivens after the Leafs goalie couldn't glove Byfuglein's blast from the point. Wheeler gave the Jets a two-goal advantage, firing a bouncing puck past Scrivens for his 11th at 12:03, then made it 4-1 after fending off Holzer to beat Scrivens on the wraparound at 15:29. But Kulemin and Lupul scored 25 seconds apart to make it a 4-3 game. Kulemin fired a wrist shot off the faceoff past Pavelec at 18:35 for his third before Lupul beat the Winnipeg goalie at 19:00 for his second of the game. NOTES: Toronto concludes its three-game homestand Wednesday by hosting Tampa Bay. ... Winnipeg forward Nik Antropov played 509 games with Toronto (1999-2000 to 2008-'09) while teammate Kyle Wellwood appeared in 189 games with the Leafs (2003-'04 to 2007-'08). ... Lupul missed 25 games recovering from his forearm injury. ... Winnipeg's Andrew Ladd came into Saturday's games leading all NHL captains with 14 goals scored.

To the Editor.—
Direct measurements of degree of fatness are seldom practicable. Among the most commonly recommended methods for expressing fatness are (1) use of standard tables of weight and height and (2) computation of the body mass index (BMI): weight, in kilograms, is divided by the height, squared, in meters (wt/ht2). Among the advantages of the latter is that in most circumstances, the index is independent of height. In a population of 973,I found this to be the case in both men and women.A disadvantage of the BMI is that the significance of a given result differs substantially by sex. For example, a man with a BMI of 21.4 is a bit underweight; a woman with a BMI of 21.4 is a little overweight. Thus, data from men and women cannot be analyzed together. A common difficulty with using the standard weight-for-height tables is that standardization has

Hi! When I discovered Find-A-Grave, I thought it was fantastic! What a great way to preserve history and help other genealogists! I immediately began photographing local cemeteries as a way to give back to others who have helped me and shared information. I love doing it and feel like I am contributing to preserving some of these really old headstones before they become so weathered and decayed that they are illegible. To each their own, but I do not believe I "own" the photographs I take nor do I feel I have a copyright on them! I just don't get that philosophy, but, like I said, everyone has their own thoughts on why they contribute to FAG. I do not volunteer to do this for "credit" in any form—I am doing it to help other genealogists as they search for their ancestor's final resting places. It is always absolutely fine with me if you use any and all photos I have taken for your ancestry.com trees or personal family trees and you do not need to give any credits to me. It has always been my idea that if we, as genealogists, do not share our discoveries and work as one big family, we are just making it harder to complete our own personal history books. As far as transfers, if you are a relative of any degree or just someone "special" to the deceased, I will gladly transfer unless they are also my own relative. I love everything historical and Find-A-Grave is a wonderful gift to us wanting to preserve history. Happy hunting! --Vickie

Lies, damned lies, and government jobs statistics.
Rarely has the cliché rung as true as with the latest report that showed the nation's jobless rate fell 0.1 of a percentage point last month, to 7.6%—even though fewer people had jobs and more were unemployed. The improvement, if you can call it that, was the result of nearly half a million folks dropping out of the labor force and the smallest percentage of the working-age population in the workforce in a generation.
All of which came as a shock to bulls on Wall Street, who had lifted the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Standard & Poor's 500 to records surpassing their previous peaks set in October 2007. That's even though the bond and commodity markets have been sending signals in recent days that were out of phase with the steady melt-up in the major market indexes.
The March employment report released Friday morning actually was the culmination of a parade of weaker-than-expected data for the month just ended, including softer (but still positive) readings for purchasing managers' indexes for both manufacturing and services, plus a rise in initial claims for unemployment insurance in the past three weeks.
But none of that prepared the markets for the shocking news that nonfarm payrolls increased by only 88,000 workers in March, less than half the consensus guess from economists of a 190,000 rise. (The payroll data come from a survey of business establishments, separate from the polling of households that provide the numbers that go into the politically important unemployment rate.)
There were some consolation prizes in the jobs-report bust, notably upward revisions in February's payrolls to a gain of 268,000 from 236,000, and January's rise, to 148,000 from 119,000. And these are seasonally adjusted numbers, which are heavily influenced by small variations in the weather or calendar quirks, especially early in the year. As Citigroup economist Steven C. Wieting points out, before seasonal adjustment, payrolls actually rose by 759,000 in March, which was short of the average 900,000 rise in the two previous years. That followed a 1.022 million jump in February, which was above the average increase of 880,000 in the prior two years. So, month-to-month swings in the payroll numbers should be taken with a hefty chunk of salt.
That said, the household report told a scarier story of fewer folks working and even fewer looking for work, even if it anomalously produced a lower headline jobless rate. Only 63.3% of the working-age population was either working or actively looking for a job last month, the lowest since May 1979, when the participation in the workplace by women was ramping up. Had labor-force participation rates remained around the 66% level that had prevailed before the 2007-2009 recession, the unemployment rate would be about four percentage points higher, in the mid-11% range, writes Joshua Shapiro, chief economist for MFR. And demographics aren't affecting the participation rate as commonly assumed.
"Making things worse from a social perspective," he adds, "the drop in the participation rate has been centered in younger workers, many of whom have given up hope of finding a decent job and are instead continuing in school and racking up enormous amounts of student debt, which has contributed to the recent surge in consumer credit outstanding. Difficulties of the young are exacerbated by the rising participation rates of older members of the labor force who have seen retirement savings/benefits and home values diminish, and who are now being forced to work longer than many had originally planned."
Fiscal policy may be a deterrent to hiring, however. The termination of the 2% payroll tax "holiday" may be beginning to bite. Retailers cut employment by 24,000 last month amid generally soggy same-store sales. Meanwhile, the March 1 spending cuts under the so-called sequester have yet to be felt. The 7,000 drop in government employment reflected mainly a 12,000 decline at the Postal Service, which is unrelated to the sequester.
Taking the sum of the jobs numbers, Philippa Dunne and Doug Henwood of the Liscio Report write that the labor market's weakness reflects weak hiring more than sackings. Meanwhile, weakness in hourly earnings—flat in the latest month—doesn't point to tighter labor-market conditions, which typically would be implied by a lower jobless rate. And if wages do tick up, the reserve army of labor, to use Marx's term, of folks not officially in the workforce can readily be called up. That is, if employers want to enlist them.
BEFORE THE BUREAU OF Labor Statistics stunned the bulls with punk jobs numbers, the bond market was on to what was afoot. Amid the universal near-certainty at the beginning of 2013 that bond yields had nowhere to go but up, the Treasury market has rallied in seeming incongruous fashion to bring yields to levels below where they ended last year.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury note ended the week at 1.71%, below 1.76% at year end and well under the 2.06% peak hit in early March. More surprisingly, the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond sliced through the 3% level, to 2.86% at week's end, down from more than 3.25% in early March. The notion of locking in an investment paying less than 3% for three decades seems ludicrous—except given the recent price performance captured by the iShares Barclays 20+Year Treasury Bond TLT 1.2453210480852288% iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF U.S.: Nasdaq 140.65 1.73 1.2453210480852288% /Date(1469653200277-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7549726 AFTER HOURS 140.75 0.1 0.07109847138286526% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 958399 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.177140419480981% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » exchange-traded fund (ticker: TLT).

And even as the stock market's major measures have been scaling the new highs trumpeted on TV and the pages of nonfinancial newspapers, equities' advance has been led by staid, lower-risk stocks—in other words, the most bond-like names out there, a point made previously in this column (although admittedly a far from original one).

After the euphoric first-quarter rally, a note of caution has entered the market conversation—as opposed to the unspoken risk aversion expressed by the strength of consumer staples stocks such as Procter & Gamble PG -0.9499237715491967% Procter & Gamble Co. U.S.: NYSE USD84.46 -0.81 -0.9499237715491967% /Date(1469653455691-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7658034 AFTER HOURS USD84.5 0.04 0.047359696897939854% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 86629 P/E Ratio 28.593675942853274 Market Cap 226976115434.457 Dividend Yield 3.1707317073170733% Rev. per Employee 608973 More quote details and news » (PG). The shares ended the week less than a buck below their 52-week high as investors (forgive me for repeating) like Bounty even more than Treasury paper. After all, they're paying a fancy 19 times June fiscal-year earnings for it.
All of which makes the first-quarter earnings-reporting season, which kicks off this week, more crucial. Once again, corporations have managed expectations lower, with preannouncements of results tilted heavily to the negative side. While some expectations are for profits of S&P 500 companies to rise 15% this year, Michael Cosgrove, editor of the Econoclast monthly advisory, writes "earnings will be lucky to increase at half that pace."
Corporate earnings growth of 5%-6% may be more likely than a double-digit pace with nominal gross domestic product growing 4%. Moreover, a big chunk of S&P 500 earnings comes from abroad, and may lag owing to weakness in Europe and the dollar's strength, which hurts translation of foreign profits.
BEYOND ALL THESE FACTORS, the weak jobs report removes any near-term possibility that the Federal Reserve will scale back its purchases of Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities, currently running at a $1 trillion annual pace. While the Fed has aimed to bring the unemployment rate down to 6.5% before reversing its hyper-expansive monetary policy, there is no chance it will be deluded into thinking that a lower jobless rate resulting from a half a million erstwhile workers going AWOL represents an actual improvement in the labor market.
The Bank of Japan said last week it would double its bond-buying program to a pace just short of the Fed's—to pump liquidity into the Japanese economy, which is one-third the size of the U.S. economy. That sent the yen plunging, with yields on 10-year Japanese government bonds falling to just 0.5%, while continuing to lift Japanese stock prices. Whether that pulls Japan's economy, which is weighed down by structural and demographic factors (more deaths than births), out of its torpor is another question.
But for now, America's and Japan's central banks have their printing presses on overdrive. The European Central Bank has been holding back, actually contracting its balance sheet recently, which increases the odds of a crisis worse than that surrounding Cyprus.
Rising risks may make investors with double-digit first-quarter gains think discretion is the better part of valor. They may be unfashionably early for the "sell in May and go away" hiatus, especially if earnings season disappoints.

Well, I did it. I finally got around to rewriting PadMapper in a newer version of Google Maps. I'm probably one of the last developers on the planet to upgrade to Google Maps v3. Why? Well, I really, really liked Google Maps v2. That, and I wrote more extensive v2 code than most, and many of the features I had been using weren't added to v3 immediately (or at all, in some cases) so upgrading was particularly daunting for me. But that's why a lot of the visual styling just changed. Also, if there are any bugs that have cropped up, please let me know! (firstname.lastname@example.com). The upgrade brings with it some neat features and refinements that I found time to toss in, or that v3 offered. First, I could finally add the official Google mass transit overlay, which is a lot cleaner/neater than my old one. If you ever used it, you know that mine looked like a kid drew it with crayons on top of a nice Google map. Second, for those of you with car storage anxiety, I added the … [Read more...] about Massive Rewrite in Google Maps V3!
Good night, sweet PadMapper Bar
Craigslist has decided to make it impossible for the PadMapper bar to function with their listings, so now, those listings won't have the PadMapper bar on them. Sorry everyone.

Neat Rental Analytics
Every so often, I get requests from researchers for rental data/statistics to analyze, and they frequently yield some interesting papers and visualizations. One of them just posted some great visualizations of median rents and rent distributions that she extracted from some PadMapper data. She seems to have been more rigorous with her assumptions than most infographic makers looking for pageviews typically seem to be, so it's worth a look. And it's just plain interesting. Here's a geographic (and interactive!) map-based breakdown of median rents A violin plot of the distributions And the associated blog post for the geographic breakdown … [Read more...] about Neat Rental Analytics
Vacation Rentals!
You may have noticed a small addition to the filter box - a little checkbox called "Vacation". It's probably temporary, but for now that will let you filter for/filter out nightly/weekly vacation rentals. The prices are still quoted by the month, though, so if you see any outrageously expensive seeming places, that might be why. I'm thinking about doing something more specifically tailored to the vacation rentals to replace the little checkbox, because the current search interface isn't a great fit for them - for example, date availability is a pretty basic part of searching for a vacation rental, and monthly prices, while nice for their consistency with the rest of the site, are not usually what people care about in a vacation rental. So, I have more work to do. But for now, I thought it would be interesting to include them and see whether people found that useful. If you have any feedback or notice any issues that probably aren't things I just haven't gotten to yet, please send … [Read more...] about Vacation Rentals!
How to Solve Crappy Cell Phone Reception at Home
The following is a post mostly written for me by the folks at UberSignal.com, who sell cell phone reception boosters. They didn't pay me anything to post this, I just thought it was useful because this has been one of my issues with my place, hopefully you find it useful too. --- Everyone has a list of "deal breakers" when searching for a new apartment. These can include from price, storage space, windows, and many times, cell phone reception. While you can't change many of these items, poor cell phone reception is actually one which can be solved. We've put together a list of options for ways to improve cell phone reception and make it that much easier to find your perfect place. 1. Jump Ship The first option is the most straightforward, and that is to switch cellular carriers. If you're not in a contract and another carrier provides better service in your apartment, switching carriers might be the easiest way to solve your signal problem. Unfortunately, most people in … [Read more...] about How to Solve Crappy Cell Phone Reception at Home
Bringing Craigslist Back
I've been wrestling with whether to bring back Craigslist listings in the search results. I've found a way to include them that I'm told is legally kosher since it doesn't touch their servers at all, but it still seems somewhat dickish to go against their wishes in this, and I've always had a lot of respect for what they've done for the world. Also, court seems like it'd be no fun. But then I did some back of the envelope estimates of how much of people's time and effort it would waste if I didn't, and it became clear how much less nice it is to waste the time of millions of apartment hunters out of stubbornness or some clearly inaccurate assumption about the will of the community. If it takes half of PadMapper's millions of monthly users 3 hours longer now to find an apartment, that's over 350 man-years wasted per month, or 5 lifetimes. That really pisses me off. Apartment hunting is an activity which, unless you enjoy it or it teaches you something, adds no value to the world, and … [Read more...] about Bringing Craigslist Back
