The year about to close has been a good one for U.S. stocks, but just how bubbly investors will feel this New Year's Eve might depend on which of the major indexes they follow.
Investors with an eye on the Dow Jones Industrial Average can celebrate a relatively modest 6% price rise in 2012, with one day of trading left. But there will be much more champagne flowing for investors in the Standard & Poor's 500 index, which is set to rack up a handsome double-digit price gain of nearly 12%.
The notable disparity between these two well-known and popular U.S. stock-market measures can be attributed to various differences between them, including some related to index construction and some to stock selection.
For starters, the 26% rise in Apple AAPL -0.7744141607160817% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD98.66 -0.77 -0.7744141607160817% /Date(1469221200063-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 28270202 AFTER HOURS USD98.38 -0.28 -0.28380295965943647% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 43467 P/E Ratio 10.974416017797553 Market Cap 540402751289.397 Dividend Yield 2.3109669572268396% Rev. per Employee 2050050 More quote details and news » (ticker: AAPL) goes a long way in explaining the gap. The maker of some of the world's most ubiquitous computer products and telecom gadgets is the biggest stock in the S&P 500 index and the largest single contributor to the S&P's rise in 2012.
It's responsible for roughly 11 points in the S&P's 145-point rise, says David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices, which owns and produces both indexes. S&P Dow Jones Indices is 73% owned by McGraw-Hill (MHP), which owns Standard & Poor's; CME Group CME 0.7522518063941404% CME Group Inc. Cl A U.S.: Nasdaq USD101.79 0.76 0.7522518063941404% /Date(1469221200413-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 861370 AFTER HOURS USD101.79 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 12483 P/E Ratio 26.857519788918207 Market Cap 34470472771.1014 Dividend Yield 2.3577954612437373% Rev. per Employee 1352410 More quote details and news » (CME) owns 24%, and Dow Jones, which publishes Barron's and is owned by News Corp. (NWSA), owns just 2.6%.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE DOW, Apple is not a component. Indeed, six of the 10 biggest contributors to the S&P 500's rise are not in the Dow, Blitzer adds.
"Both indexes are imperfect measures of the same thing," says John Manley, chief equity strategist of the Wells Fargo Advantage Funds. But the Dow, with its narrow sample of just 30 stocks, can be more significantly moved by one or two stocks than the S&P and its cast of hundreds, Manley says.
Consequently, the 47% plunge by Dow member Hewlett-Packard HPQ 0.7857142857142857% HP Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD14.11 0.11 0.7857142857142857% /Date(1469221247879-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 10228031 AFTER HOURS USD14 -0.11 -0.7795889440113395% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 59312 P/E Ratio 7.465608465608466 Market Cap 24136664968.1296 Dividend Yield 3.5152374202693126% Rev. per Employee 259770 More quote details and news » (HPQ) hurt the index this year. "One or two clunkers isn't going to be as much as a factor for the S&P 500," Manley notes.
The small sample risk is further complicated by the Dow's unusual price-weighting construction, where stocks with high prices have more of an influence than those with low prices. This is best seen in the lack of a big boost from Dow component Bank of America BAC 0.7708479327259986% Bank of America Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD14.38 0.11 0.7708479327259986% /Date(1469221248114-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 45623554 AFTER HOURS USD14.37 -0.01 -0.06954102920723226% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 981240 P/E Ratio 12.401897369555844 Market Cap 146917301501.249 Dividend Yield 1.3908205841446453% Rev. per Employee 427653 More quote details and news » (BAC). Despite its enormous 104% rise in 2012, says Jim Russell, senior equity strategist at US Bank Wealth Management, the bank stock's big move up was muted in the average because the shares have a relatively low price of $11.36, for less than a 1% weighting in the Dow, he adds. The S&P 500, in contrast, weights its components according to their market value.
The fewer members in the Dow, along with its price-weighting construction, also makes it very difficult for a stock to get into the index. With a $510 share price, Apple would have had an inordinate sway on the Dow if it were included. The Dow's "harder to get into than Mrs. Astor's ballroom," Manley quips.
ANOTHER FACTOR IN THE Dow's laggard performance this year had to do with its sector make-up. The financial sector is leading the 2012 rally, and it is the second-biggest weighting in the S&P 500, at about 15%. But financial stocks make up only about 11% of the Dow. The Dow is also underweight health-care stocks, which did well this year, and is overweight underperforming industrials, adds Blitzer.
"The Dow is loaded with tech stocks, which also underperformed in 2012," says Neil Hennessy, CEO of Hennessy Advisors and a close Dow watcher. What's more, it was the wrong kind of tech, like Microsoft MSFT 1.3799283154121864% Microsoft Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD56.57 0.77 1.3799283154121864% /Date(1469221200422-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 30792917 AFTER HOURS USD56.5 -0.07 -0.1237404984974368% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1364250 P/E Ratio 27.59512195121951 Market Cap 441698557617.187 Dividend Yield 2.5455188262329855% Rev. per Employee 723051 More quote details and news » (MSFT), which eked out a 2% gain, and Intel INTC 1.1380215932302304% Intel Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD34.66 0.39 1.1380215932302304% /Date(1469221200353-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 32457972 AFTER HOURS USD34.64 -0.02 -0.05770340450086555% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 575681 P/E Ratio 16.743961352657006 Market Cap 163664519279.48 Dividend Yield 3.000577034045009% Rev. per Employee 527624 More quote details and news » (INTC), which fell 17% — not to mention HP's abysmal performance, he points out.
Other factors are important too. Small- and mid-capitalization stocks outperformed in 2012. The S&P 500 has them, and the Dow doesn't.
Yet there lies the possible basis for the Dow's outperformance in 2013. For most of the year, stocks with purely domestic revenue — typically small and midsize companies — led those with lots of international revenue, usually larger companies. That reversed, however, right after the U.S. election, according to Bespoke Investment Group.
If investors continue to fret about the U.S. fiscal cliff and become more encouraged by signs the global economy is picking up, that could give a lift to the Dow's global mega-cap stocks in tech and the industrials, like Caterpillar CAT -0.7874015748031497% Caterpillar Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD79.38 -0.63 -0.7874015748031497% /Date(1469221215424-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4071463 AFTER HOURS USD79.44 0.06 0.07558578987150416% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 62371 P/E Ratio 37.98086124401914 Market Cap 46349347643.1188 Dividend Yield 3.880070546737213% Rev. per Employee 414096 More quote details and news » (CAT).
"If we get a good year [in 2013] for growth stocks and industrials, the Dow would outperform the S&P 500," Blitzer says. That would be a repeat of 2011, when the Dow rose 5.5%, compared with a flat return from the S&P 500.
Over long periods of time, the two tend to move together, but if global growth returns in 2013, the old Dow's likely to make a nice comeback next year.

Obama on Jobs Act: 'They don't have the luxury of waiting 14 months.'
First, here's the transcript portion of the last five minutes of President Obama's speech where he really got his preach on:
First, here's the transcript portion of the last five minutes of President Obama's speech where he really got his preach on:
"The man who can articulate the movements of his inner life," the late Christian apologist and author Henri Nouwen said, "need no longer be a victim of himself, but is able slowly and consistently to remove the obstacles that prevent the spirit from entering."
Throughout the ages, how Christian believers have chosen to articulate their inner lives has had many manifestations in literature, music, architecture, and other artistic endeavors.
As a means of communicating and wrestling with his inner life -- his journey of faith -- Greg Fromholz, an American expatriate youth worker for the Church of Ireland in Dublin, wrote a book titled Liberate Eden, but traditional publishing houses found that his work was a bit too iconoclastic for their tastes.
"It is just too different to be Christian," one publisher pronounced.
A week or two after the 2004 election, I was dining with some friends in New York when the conversation turned to religion and politics -- the two things that you're never supposed to discuss in polite company.
George W. Bush had just been re-elected with the help of what was described in the media as "evangelical voters." And knowing that I am an evangelical Christian, my friends were terribly curious.
"What, exactly, is an evangelical?" one gentleman asked, as if he were inquiring about my time living among the lowland gorillas of Cameroon.
I suddenly found myself as cultural translator for the evangelical mind.
"As I understand it," I began, "what 'evangelical' really means is that a person believes in Jesus Christ, has a personal relationship with him and because of that relationship feels compelled to share their experience of God's love with other people. "How they choose to share that 'good news' with others is entirely up to the individual. Beyond that, the rest is details and style."
Monday morning, 8 a.m PST. My phone rings. It's Rob Bell calling from New York City where he's headed for Central Park to take a stroll with his wife between media appointments. "How's my favorite heretic?" I ask.
Recenly, I had a bad day. Epically bad.
I ran out of cash.
I lost my credit card.
I missed my flight.
The other day I heard a 78-year-old man sing, through a cracked voice, one of the most moving and gentle jazz melodies, as the iconic image of a fetishized sports car being driven into the sunset was projected. And, not for the first time in recent years, I was crying at the end of a Clint Eastwood film.

|"The Middleman" debuts June 16
At the center of the âThe Middlemanâ is 20-something art-school graduate Wendy Watson. The tale opens with our heroine struggling with painterâs block and the latest in a string of unsatisfying relationships with boyfriends. Wendyâs artwork is not paying the bills, so she is forced to find temp work to augment her take-home. âAnd during a routine temp assignment, she is attacked by a monster, and saved from that monster by this All-American hero, enigmatic, Dirk Square-jaw type guy whoâs the Middleman,â Grillo Marxuach told CBR News. âAnd because of the way that she deals with the monster attack, he hires her to become his sidekick.â
Killing many-tentacled monsters, it turns out, is just another day at the office for the Middleman, who works for a super secret organization that protects the Earth from all threats extra- and intra-terrestrial. âTheir motto is, âFighting evil so you donât have to,ââ Grillo-Marxuach said. Even though the show finds Wendy and the Middleman routinely fighting off aliens, monsters and androids, Grillo-Marxuach characterizes âThe Middlemanâ as âlight-hearted and optimistic.â At the core of âMiddlemanâ is the almost father/daughter dynamic that develops between Wendy and the title character, a relationship that is in the writerâs words âconstantly tested by the absurd evils that they have to fight.â
|"The Middleman: Indispensability," collecting Javier Grillo-Marxuach's entire comic book story, is released in July
Grillo-Marxuachâs pilot script for âThe Middlemanâ was promptly relegated to the cold vacuum of his hard drive after striking out a few times with at pitch meetings. Indeed, the writerâs representation at the time encouraged him to put âThe Middlemanâ on the shelf. Grillo-Marxuach moved on to successful stints on shows like âLostâ and âBoomtown,â but he still held out hope that âThe Middlemanâ wasnât buried forever. âIt was a project that I could not let go of,â Grillo-Marxuach said.
It was during his time on âLostâ that Grillo-Marxuach met then-staffer Paul Dini, also known for his enormous body of work with Batman. Dini, who has written the Dark Knight for comics and the small screen, encouraged Marxuarch to resurrect his pet project as a creator-owned comic book. Grillo-Marxuach quickly found a partner in crime in artist Les McClaine, and found a home for âThe Middlemanâ at Viper Comics, who will reissue the title in collected form in July as âThe Middleman: The Collected Series �" Indispensability.â âI had a pilot that I really wanted to do something with, but TV wasnât beating down my door for it, so I kind of decided, âOkay, letâs show the world what it could be,ââ Grillo-Marxuach explained.
During the projectâs many years in limbo, Grillo-Marxuach never stopped casting âThe Middlemanâ in his head. âMatt Keeslar is an actor who I had seen in the film âThe Last Days of Disco,â and heâs really fantastic in that movie,â Grillo-Marxuach remarked. âAnd I remember seeing him in that and thinking, âHe could be this guy.ââ After ABC Family green-lit production on the series, Grillo-Marxuach told the network that Keeslar was his prototype for the title character. âSo Matt and I met, and discussed it and so on, and he was game for it.â
|Scenes from "The Middleman"
Natalie Morales, the actress who landed the role as Wendy Watson, came to âThe Middlemanâ through the audition process. âWe have Amy Britt and Anya Coloff doing our casting, they cast a lot of Joss Whedonâs shows, and they found Natalie and brought her in and she was just spectacular,â explained Grillo-Marxuach. âAnd this was a process where I think that the dialogue is pretty dense, itâs pretty difficult, and Natalie is somebody who brought this kind of effortless charm to it. Sheâs obviously a gorgeous and talented person, but we looked at a lot of people with those two qualities, and what Natalie brought to it was, she could take this very sort of arch, constructed dialogue, and give it a very sort of charmingly naturalistic sense of, âThis is just who I am, and this is how I talk,â and that was really crucial to it.â
Grillo-Marxuach has an extensive resume as a television writer, but âThe Middlemanâ represents his first time wearing the âshowrunnerâ hat. âIt is tremendously challenging, and it makes tremendous demands on you time,â Grillo-Marxuach confessed. That said, the writer was quick to add that ABC Family has been incredibly nurturing of the project and of him personally. âThere is nothing that I have to do in this job that isnât worth it for the product weâre putting out. I think the showâs really swell, and I have a great staff. I get to work with people that I truly love, respect and admire.â And after 20 years of experience in the industry, Grillo-Marxuach says itâs been âa real breath of fresh airâ to finally be able to helm a show, and do it his way.
|Scenes from "The Middleman"
Creating an issue of âThe Middlemanâ required little more than Grillo-Marxuach and artist Les McClaine simply doing their respective jobs, but putting together an episode for a primetime television series requires a few more cooks to stir the pot. âIn TV, thereâs a crew of about 150 people, and all of these departments, and itâs a real hierarchy,â Grillo-Marxuach explained. âThe burden is on me to communicate successfully to everyone who works on the show what it is that I and the writers of the show envision. You donât just write a script, put it in a machine, and a show comes out the other end. Part of being a showrunner means that you have to consistently, and with great clarity, tell everybody what the show is supposed to be, so that when they go to do their job, theyâre free to do it to the best of their ability.â
Naturally, many of the threats Wendy and the Middleman face are decidedly easier to depict on a comics page than they are in live action. The first episode pits Wendy and the Middleman against a mob boss who turns out to be super-intelligent Gorilla. âIt was a lot easier for Les McClaine to draw 25 apes than it was to actually find something of that scope and spectacle,â Grillo-Marxuach laughed. The third episode finds our heroes battling against a horde of Mexican Wrestlers, which also promises to be a daunting prospect, especially on a television budget. âBut we were very much able to render the pilot in a way that was really true to the comic book, on our budget and schedule, so itâs not impossible either. You just have to know where to cut, and how to cut without taking away the soul of the thing.â
Some of Grillo-Marxuachâs primary influences for âThe Middlemanâ were the monster-of-the-week sci-fi shows that were prevalent in the mid-â90s, when he first conceived of the series, such as âBuffy,â âAngel,â and âThe X-Filesâ to name a few. Grillo-Marxuach himself worked on âCharmed,â and âThe Middlemanâ was the writerâs attempt at responding to those series by creating one of his own. âIn terms of television, that monster-of-the-week format was very much in place and in full swing at the time, much more than it is now, which I think is one of the reasons why this is a good time for the show,â Grillo-Marxuach said.
|Scenes from "The Middleman"
The writer also characterized âThe Middlemanâ as âtremendously absurdist,â and cited âMad Magzine,â the Muppets and sci-fi author Douglas Adams as a âtroikaâ of absurdist influences. âEspecially the âMad Magazineâ of my childhood, which was a tremendously intelligent and politically active, very anti-establishment kind of thing,â Grillo-Marxuach said. The writer contended that Jim Hensonâs Muppets, too, were âform breakingâ and âaesthetically daring,â and that âThe Hitchhikerâs Guide to the Galaxyâ creator Douglas Adams had brought a âunique voice to comedy and sci-fiâ which strongly influenced him as a young writer.
Grillo-Marxuach has also been a longtime fan of superhero comics, and that genreâs influence on âThe Middlemanâ is unmistakable. âThereâs a scene in the pilot where Wendy describes her pull list, and literally says the comic books she reads,â he said. That aspect of the âMiddlemanâ script is something the writer has had to continuously update over the part 10 years. The pilot is also riddled with other comics references, including an apt comparison between âMiddlemanâsâ Mafioso primate to Flash villain Gorilla Grod.
âThe Middlemanâ has already shot six of its 13-episode first season. âThen, depending on the wisdom of the ratings gods, weâll know if weâre going to do more,â Grillo-Marxuach said.
âThe Middlemanâ pilot premieres on Monday, June 16 on ABC Family. Viper Comicsâ collected edition, âThe Middleman: Indispensabilityâ is on sale in July.

Crist Bails on Holocaust Center, Nabs Kennedy and Schwarzenegger Endorsements
Independent Senate hopeful Charlie Crist was scheduled to make an appearance at Hollywood'sHolocaust Documentation and Education Center
today but canceled yesterday. His campaign has apparently rescheduled the event multiple times.
Meanwhile, Crist is in Deerfield Beach this morning to accept the endorsement of Robert Kennedy Jr., son of late presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy and a New York-based environmental advocate.
That should be wrapping up before noon, when the Holocaust Center appearance was scheduled to take place. Instead, Crist's schedule lists a noon phone call with his chief of staff, Shane Strum.

Crist's press secretary, Sterling Ivey, says the phone call is just routine business. "Nothing preempted the event... there's no emergency in the state right now. Any time the governor is not in Tallahassee, he'll have a phone meeting with Shane to go over state business and matters of the day."
Besides Kennedy's endorsement, there was this tweet yesterday from the @Schwarzenegger:
I endorse Gov @charliecristfl for Senate. Great leader, works with both parties, and our country needs someone like him in DC right now.
Crist's campaign reportedly rescheduled the Holocaust Center appearance a few times before canceling -- we're calling for details. Not earthshaking news, this, but an interesting display of how hard-hitting endorsements stack up against the local Jewish vote in the month leading up to what's sure to be a contentious three-way election.

"Offering the program online has created a convenient way for students to submit activities on their own time."

"We have to monitor it all the time. In 2004, we submitted a $30 million budget, but only actually spent $22.3 million. That's because we only had revenues of $22.6 million."
"This is a new program that we announced earlier this year. We asked communities to submit their applications, and of course, we were oversubscribed."
"All of the questions are the same so that a student using the Common Application can submit it to a number of different colleges and universities in that group. For example, if a student wished to apply to Drexel, Villanova and Georgetown, they could fill out one application and submit it to all three organizations if we belong to the Common Application group."

Release Date:
January 5, 2010
While Universal Music makes no attempt to hide it, it's important for the informed consumer to look closely at the single-disc Rarities Edition series. These CDs are simply the bonus discs packaged inside their double-disc slipcased Deluxe Editions of the albums they represent; they do not contain the original album even though the cover art is the same. This volume was the second disc in the Deluxe Edition of Steve Earle's Copperhead Road. It contains 17 live tracks from three different performances. The first 11 are taken from a concert from Raleigh, NC, with the Exit 0 edition of the Dukes that preceded the recording of the album, though it contains a roaring version of "The Devil's Right Hand" and a fine solo version of "Johnny Come Lately." His storied solo acoustic version of Bruce Springsteen's "Nebraska" from 1988 is included here, too. Finally, five cuts that were released as bonuses and B-sides are included from a show in Calgary in 1988, and reveal an intense new edition of the Dukes. If you have the single-disc version of Copperhead Road, this is an excellent companion piece. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi

My husband and I picked this restaurant because we thought it was a classy place. We could not have been more disappointed. The portions were small. The meal consisted of 1 piece of fish and 5 green beans and 1 small carrot and a dollop of instant mashed potatoes. The service was marginal. I know times are hard, but instant mashed potatoes!

Totalled a bill of a $163 for dinner and couldn't have been more disappointed. Was with a group of 10, service was awful, took forever for them to do anything from start to finish. I had a filet which was dry and overcooked. My wife had a white fish, again dry, small, and lacking any assemblence of flavor. If I wanted that kind of experience I could have saved myself $150 and had my 7 year old cook. Pathetic....will never return.

I had the second ocassion to dine in this restaurant, this time with my guests sent by their hotel Concierge. Like my last visit, there were lots of empty seats in the bright front room available, but we were escorted to the dark back room where they packed all the people. I got an arrogant attitude from the front desk when I asked for one of those nice empty seats up front. The menu was the same as half a year ago, offering the standard overpriced fare without much creativity. Like my last visit, the wait for service was very long. As a seafood aficionado, I believe the baked oysters were good, the mussels a bit unfresh, the seafood chowder plain. They pushed for the expensive dish ""Nag's head grouper"" which I thought was unfresh and overcooked. My guests had the Halibut special and stuffed trout and all three of us did not finish our fish. The desserts were nice, but we went there for the fish. Overall, if you want the ""Olive Garden"" of seafood, Blue Point is the place. This is a restaurant that serves seafood, not a seafood restaurant. It doesn't even have fresh lobsters like Red Lobster. It seems the primary interst is to make money, not to excel in the food. THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR INTERESTING OR SUPERB FISH. The standard menu, unimpressive cooking style and quality makes it the McDonalds of its class, but you pay the high price for the decor and the name that it doesn't really live up to. I've had better seafood dishes (and service) in restaurants elsewhere in town, and even across the street at Metropolitan. So, if you are a seafood lover, don't go there. If seafood (or dinning out) is a rare treat for your gests, and you don't mind paying a lot, then this place might work.

I reserved a table for 9 my birthday celebration and ended up having people cancel at the last minute because of bad weather, so I showed up to the restaurant with only 6 in my party. When I told the hostess about this, I got attitude from her and she made us wait 10 minutes until they could move us to a smaller table. What was the point of a reservation? Shortly after we were seated, the fire alarms started going off, and that lasted no less than 15 minutes, making our dinner conversation impossible. We didn't smell smoke or see any fire, so no one panicked, however it would have been nice if our server had explained why the alarms went off. I ordered the stuffed lobster tail special and it arrived cold and overdone. When I finally flagged the served down, she said she'd have it heated up, but never apologized or offered to bring me a new meal. It was instead returned to me rearranged on a new plate, probably microwaved, and even more overdone. I could barely eat another rubbery bite and ended up taking the $50 leftovers home out of spite. Blue Point is overrated and definitely overpriced. I have had better service and a better meal at Red Lobster,

First timers. Flew into Burke Lakefront Airport on business and had dinner here. It was a Monday nite, but the place was packed due to the holidays. Arrived on time for reservation. Seated promptly, and waited on very promptly also. It was an enjoyable evening. Food was great. The only downside was that it was crowded, so the noise level was a bit high. After the all the doctors, lawyers, and high-end corporate people left, it was quite nice. Get your wallet out because it is not cheap, but food, drink, and service were excellent.

This restaurant was recommended by the bartender at another restaurant, so we headed across the street to try this one out. We were not disappointed. While we did not have a reservation, they were able to fit us in and in a booth looking out to the street.
The wait staff was great and very helpful, and the food was incredible. The seafood here is wonderful and very fresh...and we were here in early March. From the wait staff to the wine, to the appetizer, to the entree to the dessert, we enjoyed every moment in this restaurant. The warehouse district was within walking distance of our hotel, so we didn't have to find a place to park, but we were definitely cold what with the snowy windy weather Cleveland was having that evening. Thankfully we had a wonderful meal to keep us warm on our walk back to the hotel.

I have heard about this restaurant many times on the radio and know it is always rated high. I think that our bad experience should be known.
The room is nice, I like the upstairs. The menu is big and prices high but you should know that going it - no complaints. We had the chicken roll appetizer and the sauce was amazing.
HOWEVER. We waited and waited for our entrees, only to have the waitress come and clear our table and hand us dessert menus - they had completely forgotten us!! Unacceptable for a place of this ""caliber"".
Also, my husband's filet was musky tasting - he ate only a few bites. My fish was average but highly oversalted. The lobster potatoes are not worth the extra price as there was no distinct lobster flavor, just more salt.
Our free desserts (make up for forgetting our entrees) were also tasteless. The crust on my peach cobbler was still doughy!
Shame on Lannigan and Malone for raving about this place and having me waste a perfectly good evening there!

It has been on my never ending list to pay attention to this blog; it's been way too long since a post! My nesting phase has been replaced with the "lay on the couch" phase as I wait for our baby to arrive, so alas, I am blogging. Likely this will be my last blog post before baby, so hopefully you will hearing more from me here in the spring when I return from maternity leave.
I truly want to say thank you to all of my clients and supporters for a wonderful 2015! It amazes me how I have been brought into a career that has allowed me to work with a wonderful bunch of human beings; my clients really are the best clients. THANK YOU. I'm looking forward to a busy 2016… the spring calendar is already full (with the exception of WMG clients still needing scheduled) and I will now be taking sessions for June and after. I will be checking emails and voicemails while I'm out on leave, and returning them when I am able.
I've been wanting to blog this session for a while now – my first in-home, lifestyle newborn session. I was approached by this long-time client to come to their home for their newborn's session, and having a bit of an idea how gorgeous their home was, I said yes. I will still be doing most newborn sessions in-studio for the posed, styled look, however I definitely will consider doing a select few of these lifestyle newborn sessions at clients' homes in the future. Contact me for specific pricing and availability on these sessions for June 2016 and later.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Paul Goldschmidt's pre-All-Star numbers comparable to D-backs greats
The Arizona Diamondbacks would not be in first place at the All-Star break without the emergence of first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.
The first-time All-Star entered the break hitting .313 with a career-high 21 home runs and an NL-best 77 RBI.
The D-backs' slugger may lead the National League in RBI at the midway point of the season, but where does he rank among franchise greats?
The 25-year-old's pre-All-Star season certainly stacks up to many comparable years of D-backs' legends.
The only players to have more RBI at the break than Goldschmidt are Luis Gonzalez and Matt Williams.
Gonzalez had 86 in 2001 while Williams had 82 RBI at the midway point of the 1999 season.
Goldschmidt's 21 home runs rank fifth among past D-backs players. Gonzalez's total of 35 home runs in 2001 is the most in D-backs history at the halfway mark.
Steve Finley's 25 home runs in 2000 rank second, followed by Jay Bell's 24 and Williams' 23 in 1999.
No D-back comes near Gonzalez's .360 batting average in 1999 or his .355 batting average in 2001, but Goldschmidt is one of 19 D-backs with over 250 at-bats to be hitting over .300 at the break.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Breast Cancer Treatment: Weighing the Hormonal Options
To Kathryn Anderson, the hormonal treatment tamoxifen offered a new lease on life. A survivor of breast cancer, she had been through two surgeries, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy when her doctors put her on tamoxifen.
Anderson is not alone. In the 25-plus years since tamoxifen became a mainstay of breast cancer therapy, the pill has saved thousands of lives. But now, newer hormonal agents known as aromatase inhibitors are contesting the superiority of tamoxifen and competing for attention.

Me and the Girls: Mary Manasco
WebMD senior writer Miranda Hitti interviewed breast cancer survivors as part of a series for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The series, called "Me & the Girls," explores the personal stories of nine women who faced breast cancer. Breast cancer survivor Mary Manasco, 59, lives in Jackson, Miss. In May 2008, a routine mammogram showed a suspicious spot in Manasco's right breast, which led to another mammogram, a biopsy, and a diagnosis of stage 1 breast cancer. The diagnosis upset...
Read the Me and the Girls: Mary Manasco article > >
One of the biggest concerns with tamoxifen is that it stops working after five years, doctors say. Yet one-third of cancers that recur come back between five and 10 years later.
Anderson says that after her five years of tamoxifen therapy ended she always feared a recurrence, feeling that her safety net had gone away.
Until now. A study published in 2004 in The New England Journal of Medicine showed that taking the aromatase inhibitor Aromasin after two to three years of tamoxifen reduced breast cancer recurrence by 32%.
And in 2003, another study in the same journal showed that women could cut their risk of recurrence by nearly half by taking the aromatase inhibitor Femara after they completed about five years on tamoxifen.
And another recent study showed that postmenopausal women who switch to another aromatase inhibitor, Arimidex, after two or three years of tamoxifen therapy had fewer recurrences of cancer than those who continued to take tamoxifen for the full recommended five years.
Aromasin Helps Prevent Cancer Recurrence
The Aromasin study, performed by R. Charles Coombes, MD, PhD, showed that when postmenopausal women took Aromasin for two to three years following two to three years of treatment with tamoxifen, the risk of breast cancer recurrence dropped by 32% compared with women who continued to take tamoxifen.
It's a revolutionary finding, says Paul E. Goss, MD, PhD, director of breast cancer prevention at Toronto's Princess Margaret Hospital and professor of medicine at the University of Toronto. Goss was lead researcher on the Femara study that showed it cut breast cancer recurrence nearly in half after five years of tamoxifen.

"Mr. Sachar's gentle but surefire approach nails down challenging issues such as racism, teen romance and drugs."

NP's patented large core SM PM highly Tm-doped germanate glass fibers have high unit gain and high stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS)-threshold. We will use our proprietary single-frequency actively Q-switched fiber laser seed in order to make the whole high power narrow linewidth pulsed fiber laser transmitter compact and expandable to spaceborne or UAV platforms. In Phase I, one new SM PM highly Tm-doped germanate fiber with 25 micron core will be fabricated and used for the power amplifier stage in order to demonstrate 1-5 mJ pulse energy and ~ 10 kW peak power for 200 ns fiber laser pulses with SBS-free. In Phase II, 100 micron core germanate fiber will be designed and fabricated in order to demonstrate 50 mJ fiber laser pulses with 100's kW SBS-threshold and transform-limited linewidth. In this project, NP Photonics will offer prototype/product service to NASA by delivering 1-50 mJ monolithic 2 micron pulsed fiber laser transmitter in 200 ns regime with transform-limited linewidth.

Click here for all tour dates!]]>
There are details and blatant lies told to us during this tour, on top of the major issues. …. but you know what? ……
We don't give it a second thought, because we made this tour happen, we turned it around from an almost cancelled disaster, to a triumphant month of great shows.
So…. it's due to an amazing CBP family, an amazing and understanding tour bus company, great promoters in certain places, a label who are straight and no bullshit, and of course the guys'n'gals who came out to see us, that this New Dark Age tour has been both brutal and fantastic justice.
Thanks and eternal respect to everyone who made all this possible.

Cosby farm earns designation
More than 40 family members, friends, county leaders, businessmen and local historians attended the marker dedication of the Cosby Family Farm March 26 in Glen Allen. The farm is significant for its ownership by one African-American family dating to the late 1800s.
Mercer Hugh Cosby built the farmhouse in the 1880s on 52 acres. He grew tobacco and had an orchard on the property. In 1952, the farm passed to his youngest son, William Darl Cosby Sr., who became a prominent educator in Henrico County, following his service in World War II. He worked as a teacher and principal through the period of school desegregation in 1969.
Until his death in 2006, Cosby was the curator of the Virginia Randolph Museum, a National Register Landmark. (He and his wife, Hilda Cosby, pictured above, with their son) were profiled in a 2004 Henrico Citizen article "For the Love of One," which detailed their efforts to help bring an elementary school student to Henrico County from Prince Edward County to be educated, following the closure of schools there. Read the article here.)

Good food and fun, bargain prices
Pelon's serves up a good mix of variety, value
I first stumbled into Pelon's on a Wednesday night, lured by the promise of $2 tacos and beers. At those prices, I had assumed the place was a hole in the wall, and was pleasantly surprised by the spacious, pleasant interior.
Having spent my teen summers in Virginia Beach surfing, I also felt instantly at home amid the ocean-themed decor. From the ride-the-waves posters lining the walls and the TV displaying non-stop surfing footage, to the foosball table and enormous spools serving as tables, Pelon's is a delight for beach lovers and surfing fans. Reading the menu is part of the entertainment here, as patrons browse burrito choices that include Rip Tide, The Curl, Hawaiian Pipeline and Big Kahuna. > Read more.

"This outstanding and important book provides inspiration and practical guidance for addressing the basic human need for nature in a rapidly urbanizing world, authored by one of the world's great authorities on harmonizing nature and humanity in cities today."(Stephen R. Kellert Professor Emeritus, Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies)
"The future of our species depends on our ability to coexist with the natural world. But what does this actually mean for human settlements? Biophilic Cities makes the case for why nature is so vital to the human experience, and how urban planning and design can harness our affinities with nature to create more sustainable cities. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of cities."(Jennifer Wolch Dean, College of Environmental Design, UC Berkeley)
"Presenting both conceptual overviews and practical advice, the work tackles building, site, and community-level planning and goes beyond the now-familiar tenets of 'green building' to advocate for an ecosystem wide vision for habitat conservation, restoration and construction....This work is appropriate for college-level planning and design students but will also be of interest to environmental activists and green construction practitioners."(Reference & Research Book News)
"Makes a compelling case for including more nature in our cities…Tremendously educational and provides the reader with a delightful new perspective to re-explore their surroundings."(Re:place Magazine)
"...Biophilic Cities provides a convincing argument for integrating 'nature' into cities...the book is excellent at bringing together environment-behavior studies and summarizing the latest in environmental-psychology research."(Traditional Dwellings and Settlements Review)
"This book expresses the credo of a very dedicated author who sees great merits in re-introducing nature into cities and urban culture."(Urban Design)
"Because of his great vision, Tim Beatley is a hero to many of us. To paraphrase a famous quote, some people see cities as they are and ask why; Tim Beatley sees cities as they could be (filled with nature) and says why not?"(Richard Louv author of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder)
About the Author
Timothy Beatley is Chair of the Department of Urban and Environmental Planning and Teresa Heinz Professor of Sustainable Communities at the School of Architecture at the University of Virginia, where he has taught for over twenty-five years. His primary teaching and research interests are in environmental planning and policy, with special emphasis on coastal and natural hazards planning, environmental values and ethics, and biodiversity conservation. He has published extensively in these areas, including the following books: Ethical Land Use; Habitat Conservation Planning: Endangered Species and Urban Growth; Natural Hazard Mitigation; and An Introduction to Coastal Zone Management. In recent years much of his research and writing has been focused on the subject of sustainable communities, and creative strategies by which cities and towns can reduce their ecological footprints, while at the same time becoming more livable and equitable places. His books that explore these issues include Biophilic Cities, Resilient Cities, and Green Urbanism (Island Press).

Chief executives from Yahoo told an FT blogger this afternoon they will jump into "social search" this year.
Their product rollout looks like this:
In the next few weeks: they will include updates from members of your address book when they comment on stories within the Yahoo network
Q2-Q3: Facebook activity streams, based on friendship will be included in a sort of Facebook powered of social circle results. Eventually Twitter data will be added. Given that Facebook and Yahoo are essentially partners, they left no comment on whether they will be introducing Facebook's universal "Like" button or Twitter's @anywhere features.
However don't hold your breath on this update. The FT blogger, Joseph Menn, said Yahoo has been talking about social search for the last 6 years, long before Facebook. Large brands making social networks out of their email services risk a severe privacy backlash and is not a popular tactic.
We remain unconvinced that such an integration will deliver any value and think that they are just jumping on the hype bandwagon surrounding the Facebook F8 and Twitter Chirp conferences. If there are going to build anything social into email, we think they should build something much more useful, like the 3D Mailbox. :)

1999 Volvo S80 Sedan T6 Turbo 4dr Sedan
I purchased this car with 70,000 miles on it. I had it for 3 months when the power steering column broke that was 1k to fix, a few months later I have to get brakes fixed, this costs 1k for all four brakes. Now it is leaking oil and though I bought it for 15k two years ago I can't get more than 3k for a trade in. This car is fun to drive but not at all reliable.
Cool Look and fun to drive
Make it more reliable so it will hold its value.
All Volvo maintenance & service performed by Volvo. Taken for multiple service ref limp mode issue, hesitations, and brakes slipping driving from cold start. Oct2008 in limp mode then stopped dead after driven 40 miles. Towed to Volvo, Georgetown TX. Kept one week & said nothing wrong. Feb2009, after driven less than 2000 miles, took to Volvo Austin TX. S80 hesitated entering the service bay. Volvo wants $4000+ to repair right & left front spring seats, Hood shocks, Front brake pads, Front brake rotors, Four tie rods, Realignment, Lower right engine mount, Both lower control arms, Lower engine air guide, Transmission pan gasket, engine breather box, ETM dirty. How can all this be wrong now?
Smooth ride, seat comfort, safety
Do not buy a first year beta model. Vehicle of this quality and price should have lasted a lot longer without so many issues.
After buying the car used from a Volvo dealership, I had traction control module and transmission service urgent warnings within about two months. The car must have been rode hard in a prior life and had some serious electronic/mechanic issues. TCM was replaced after losing control and ending up in a ditch. Followed up by a near-fatal loss of power due to a faulty Electronic Throttle Module on an expressway surrounded by semis going 75mph (dealer replaced on recall). Last straw was another bout of Transmission Service Urgent warnings that the dealer claimed meant needing a new transmission at less than 80K miles. Knock on wood, my 2005 S80 T6 has been problem free for 8 months cross-country.
Plenty of passing power. Comfortable seats good for long drives. Dual-zone climate control. Winter driving mode good for starting on slippery roads. Beautiful Moondust metallic paint.
Need interior trunk release button. More backseat legroom. Re-engineer faulty Electronic Throttle Module; be quicker on recalls (7 years later). City mileage was horrid. Cheap front seat pop-up cup holder. Sheet metal on doors overly susceptible to door dents. Rear visibility needs improvement.
1999 Volvo S80 Sedan 2.9 4dr Sedan
I bought mine wrecked with 70k miles-- my dad owns a shop and he fixed it and then we moved across the country. It does excellent in bad snow, even with the winter driving off. I had no issues with this car whatsoever. My only issue was that parts cost so much and you really have to take it to the dealer for just an oil change because no one carries the filter. It's pretty fast for a full size sedan and mine got 25-28 mpg. The stereo sound is pretty awesome for just being factory. If brand new ones weren't so expensive I would buy another.
The interior--everything is nice, the seats are comfortable (and heated!), and it makes road trips a lot more comfortable because there's so much room. And it has a very large trunk. The leather wears much slower than in other cars of the same age, which is great!
Price of replacement parts. The wipers on the headlights are ugly and drive me crazy
Turbo engine smooth and powerful, but many mechanical problems and design issues. Even SRS systems stop working, Volvo took no responsibility and left me with Un-Safe vehicle. Engineer could solve problem. Fuel Tank stop accepting fuel - Volvo could not explain, Fuel line broke within weeks after spending $2200 to fix other problems. Electronic Control Module (control for SRS is located beneath cup holderwhich leaked twice and cost me >$800 each time to fix. Volvo took responsibility for bad design or offered solution. Bottom line is Volvo and its dealers left me with expenses and estimates of more than $15,000 on a car with less than 86,000 miles and a lot less safe than older cars.
Engine was very smooth and efficient when able to drive. Navigation system controls in stearing wheel, integrated phone system, Had a great ride. Great suspension system. All great items with the car functioned properly and could be safely driven.
Stand behind the product made!. Don't leave the customer paying ~$50,000 for a car and leaving them with a lemon! With only options of its out of warranty now! Although clear history tell story. Don't take good customers who pay for service and ask keep asking to fix your beta problems.

Active RC Crossover Networks with Adjustable Characteristics
Two new types of third-order active RC crossover circuits are described. Both circuits are designed to offer doubly complementary crossover responses, that is, they are simultaneously all-pass and power complementary. The first circuit provides independent two-parameter tuning of the crossover frequency and frequency response type, which can be varied between the Butterworth and symmetric elliptic responses. The overall phase response is shown to be independent of the type of frequency response implemented. The second network provides easy two-parameter tuning of the crossover frequency for various types of asymmetric Chebyshev magnitude characteristics. Illustrative design examples are included along with measured frequency responses verifying the design objectives.: :

I've started reading Dean Buonomano's book and it looks very interesting.
"The human brain may be the best piece of technology ever created, but it's far from perfect. Drawing on colorful examples and surprising research, neuroscientist Dean Buonomano exposes the blind spots and weaknesses that beset our brains and lead us to make misguided personal, professional, and financial decisions. Whether explaining why we are susceptible to advertisements or demonstrating how false memories are formed, Brain Bugs not only explains the brain's inherent flaws but also gives us the tools to counteract them."
If you are interested in having a discussion, please let me know what time or locations are good for you.
The book was fairly interesting. There were some really smart people there and the discussion started off great. Unfortunately, one person in particular and then another, dominated (then derailed) the conversation for the next 45 minutes. I waited to see if other people were going to be asked to speak up and when I realized that wasn't going to happen, I left.

I reserved the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. If there are too many schedule conflicts we can choose another day. Jackie asked for a meeting after 7 pm, but it's hard to find a free venue that gives us enough time for discussion that late, except for bars, where it is hard to have a group discussion. Any other suggestions of location are welcome.
Also, please try to read at least 1 chapter of the book prior to the meeting, to help us keep the discussion focused the topic. It seems like there is a fairly sizable amount for free on the Amazon website, unless it is just being generous to me because I already bought it there.

This girl is is having a birthday party and you're all invited! As I've said before, it you are feeling low and lonely and (fill in the blank), you can find a world of friends to listen and perhaps give you some cheer thru blogging.
I haven't met her ...yet...but she is one of my swap partners for some ATCs. I love it when a partner has a blog and isn't THAT far away from me! So, click that link and ...join the party! (she even has giveaways, and I know for a fact that the REAL day is the 16th)
