Italy ETF and Italy ETN Jointly Issue A Severe Storm Warning
10 January 2012 at 2:14 pm by Gary Gordon
Approximately one month ago, Standard & Poor's placed 15 European nations on review for potential credit downgrades. In spite of the implications, Italian bonds began to climb and their yields began to fall, as many were hopeful that an upcoming summit between European Union leaders might put an end to the region's spreading debt crisis.
Indeed, on 12/5/2011, newfound enthusiasm pushed Italian 10-year yields down to manageable rates, somewhere below 6%. The S&P 500 benchmark for U.S. stocks also gained on hopes for the EU meet-n-greet, rising to 1257.
However, after European leaders concluded the weekend festivities (12/9/2011-12/11/2011), investors feared that little had been accomplished. Stock assets around the globe took yet another pounding. And Italian 10-year yields climbed back above 7%.
Here's the dilemma: Even as we celebrate an apparent breakout for U.S. stocks in the New Year… even as the S&P 500 is now up to a friendlier level of 1292 (1/10/2012)… the sovereign debt crisis isn't subsiding. One month after the EU summit, Italian yields are still above 7%.
The 7% rate is considered the rate at which Italy's debts become unsustainable. At 7%, the government might find itself in the same place as Greece… seeking a bailout.
Unfortunately, Italy is the third largest issuer of bonds in the entire world. A bailout might require assistance from more than Europe; it would probably include the EU, the IMF, the U.S., the U.K. and oh yes… the PRC (People's Republic of China).
Granted, the U.S. Federal Reserve or the European Central Bank may decide to directly purchase Italian bonds, hoping that artificially lower yields inspire confidence. On the other hand, buying time and buying Italian bonds may fail to inspire confidence at all. When one buys time through quantitative easing, one is looking for the economy to gain traction. Few believe that Italy can gain the kind of economic traction that the U.S. can.
The bottom line? ETF investors may wish to take their cues from two ETFs: (1) iShares MSCI Italy (EWI) and (2) PowerShares DB Italian Treasury Bond Futures ETN (ITLY). Both are below 50-day trendlines. Both tell us that the sovereign debt crisis is far from over.

Shoreline Collective 'rights' should trump private property | Letters | July 29
Over the years I have heard a great deal of talk about the "rights" of private property owners.
I have yet to hear any talk at all about civic virtue, something that the founders of this wonderful country felt was necessary if our system of government was to survive.
Nor have I heard any talk about the obligation of private property owners to exercise their "rights" in such a way that they do not infringe on the rights of others.
To the founders of this wonderful country owning property was a sign that you were free. It is, I believe, an instrumental, and not an intrinsic value.
To the best of my knowledge the "rights" of private property owners are limited rights.
In large part, the mess we have gotten ourselves into with environmental degradation and out-of-control development is in large part due to private property owners exercising their "rights" without regard to civic virtue or the rights of others.
I remember Bainbridge Island when it was still a rural community.
As a community we have a right to make decisions about the kind of community we live in, even if it means putting limits on the actions of others.
The fact is that any action we take affects others and we must ensure that our actions do not affect others in a detrimental way.
It would be interesting, as some of the more cynical people I have talked to suggest, to learn how much money those who most strongly advocate the "rights" of private property owners stand to lose if the limitations of those "rights" are put into place.
The Rev. Stephen Ekholm

Chamber business expo planned for March 4
It probably goes without saying that customers take many forms.
At the Chamber we have many customers – members who invest in the Chamber and we provide programming and services to them throughout the year; people who are relocating to our community often contact the Chamber for maps or other useful information; new businesses who are looking to start operations in our community call the Chamber to discuss our community's benefits and resources. For your business, who are your customers?
The most obvious "customer" is the single individual who buys one of your products or services for their personal use. But for some businesses, your customers are other businesses. You provide a service that primarily benefits another business entity. A not-for-profit organization has customers too – you provide education and information to potential customers; you develop relationships with potential funding sources to continue your mission. Whether your customer makes a purchase decision on the spot and leaves with something tangible, ultimately your goal should be for your business to be top-of-mind when the customer does need your product or service.
What if there was an event where you could promote your organization to all these forms of customers?
The Chamber Business Expo is just that – an opportunity for our local business community to promote your business, your services and your talented team to members of the Chamber of Commerce as well as the general public. Planned for March 4, businesses and organizations are encouraged to set up booths, displays and demonstrations to showcase your organization. Sign up new customers, sell items, invite current customers to stop by and get a special coupon. Spend time talking with other business representatives.
Booth packages are currently available starting at $400, which includes an ad in the program which will run in the Parkersburg News and Sentinel prior to the event. Chamber members receive a $200 special discount for a booth. This event is also open to those businesses that have not yet joined the Chamber – we would encourage you to participate and see how involvement with the Chamber can help grow your business.
The Business Expo will be held at the Elite Sports Center. From 4-6 p.m. the event will be open to Chamber members. During this time the Parkersburg News and Sentinel will host a special Business After Hours at the Expo to allow Chamber members to network with one another during the first two hours of the event. From 6-8 p.m. the Expo opens to Chamber members and the general public. Participants are also asked to provide a door prize item as all attendees will be entered to win prizes throughout the event.
To reserve your booth or learn more about the opportunity to participate, please contact Darlene Dimit at 304-485-1891, Ext. 242.
What a great event to offer special education, promotions and sales available only by having a booth at the Chamber of Commerce Business Expo!

Animal activist sentenced
Peter Daniel Young -- the 1995 Mercer Island High School graduate found guilty of releasing thousands of minks from Midwest farms and dodging federal authorities for six years -- was sentenced Nov. 8 to two years in prison. A U.S. District Court judge in Madison, Wisc. ruled that Young also must pay $254,840 in restitution for his crimes.
Young, 28, pleaded guilty Aug. 26 to two counts of animal enterprise terrorism. The charges stem from 1997 incidents, in which Young and a Snohomish man, Justin Samuel, were arrested for raiding mink farms in Iowa, South Dakota and Wisconsin. They released about 7,000 animals. After a 1998 indictment, the two men fled. Samuel was captured a year later in Belgium. He served two years for his crimes and implicated Young in the acts.
Young was arrested in March for shoplifting CDs from a Starbucks store in San Jose, Calif. Federal investigators believe Young is a member of Animal Liberation Front, a radical animal rights organization.

Watch stocks you care about
The single, easiest way to keep track of all the stocks that matter...
Your own personalized stock watchlist!
It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
After over a year of seeing the market move nearly straight up, it seems like everyone is waiting for markets worldwide to turn downward. But if you have a contrarian mind-set, you should instead consider the possibility that there's still money to be made in this market ... if you know where to look.
Value vs. momentum
In any strong advance, you'll find two sets of investors battling against each other. Value investors will argue that quickly rising stocks are losing their margins of safety, and are therefore now bad investments. For instance, as risky as things seemed a year ago, you could at least argue that buying Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) shares for $3 or less was a reasonable bet on the recovery. Now, though, with shares approaching the $20 level, B of A is still facing shrinking year-over-year earnings -- not exactly an endorsement of the stock's huge advance, at least in a value investor's eyes.
Momentum investors, on the other hand, argue that investor behavior favors choosing stocks that have been rising lately. That means that rather than being bad values, stocks that have doubled or tripled have the attention of rank and file investors. It also means they are likely to keep turning that attention into higher share prices until something happens to reverse the trend.
So if going against the fearful crowd pushes you to look for momentum stocks, where should you look? Let's see what the numbers show.
Follow the money
The Wall Street Journal has an excellent tool for tracking what it calls "money flow," which it calculates by looking at the impact of each trade on the share price of a particular stock. To get a sense of where bullish money is going, I took a look at money flows on two key days for the market: March 5 and April 14, two of the strongest days for the market in the past six weeks.
As you'd expect, both days featured positive moves in nearly every sector. Among those sectors, though, financial stocks landed near the top of the gainers list on both days. Meanwhile, the telecom sector lagged behind both times, and health care actually saw outflows during Wednesday's rally.
So following a momentum strategy, that would suggest putting your money in the gainers and keeping it away from the laggers. But when it comes to picking individual stocks, it gets a little more complicated.
Outlier stocks
Even when a sector sees extraordinary money flows, individual stocks within that sector don't necessarily follow suit. On March 5, despite healthy inflows into the financial sector, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS ) topped the list of advancing stocks with net outflows -- arguing that investors were less confident in Goldman's rise compared to other industry stocks. That may be due to the fact that shares of both Goldman and fellow investment-broker-turned-bank Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS ) have seen both their share advances stall out in recent months, while traditional banks have continued to see strong gains. Ironically, Goldman may be suffering because it didn't fare as badly during the financial crisis as other institutions and thus arguably had less to gain from the recovery -- although doubts about Goldman's future growth have also likely held both its and Morgan Stanley's shares back.
On April 14, though, when financials overall had the strongest inflows, both B of A and Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC ) appeared near the top of this list -- perhaps due to reports that they might have to set aside tens of billions of dollars to reserve against losses on home equity loans. Such changes in momentum can indicate a healthy rotation of money among different stocks within a given sector -- or more ominously, suggest that a sector's rally is running out of steam.
Similarly, you can sometimes find diamonds among the wreckage of hard-hit sectors. On April 14, both Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) and Merck (NYSE: MRK ) saw shares drop despite the general advance -- but their money flows were both strongly positive. For Verizon, the optimism may lie in the new HTC Droid Incredible, which could help the telecom giant successfully challenge rival AT&T (NYSE: T ) for dominance in the fast-growing smartphone market. Merck's reasons for bucking the downtrend in health care are less clear, but the company's 4% dividend yield is attractive, it's reasonably valued, and some believe that the company actually stands to benefit from health-care reform.
The alternative view
Despite the market's lofty levels, momentum is suggesting that investors be buyers here. One of the hardest things to do is to keep your money at risk rather than taking a sure profit. Yet if you cut your winners too soon, you risk missing out on even bigger gains. Even though holding stocks based on momentum may feel wrong, it may well turn out to be the best move you can make.


text: FLOOD RECOVERY Home by home, neighborhood by neighborhood. That's how Minot will rebuild itself, Mayor Curt Zimbelman said last week at an announcement to kick off the Summer of Hope. Members of the Souris Valley Long Term Recovery Committee put together the project, which will assist 500 to 600 homeowners in the next two years. A $3.5 million grant is helping fund the project, which is getting help and support from Recovery Warehouse, Hope Village, the Unmet Needs Committee, Souris Valley United Way, Minot Area Community Foundation and other faith-based and nonprofit groups in the area. Volunteers from across the country will be in Minot to help flood victims repair and rebuild their damaged homes. Many of the volunteers will be staying at Hope Village, on the grounds of Our Savior Lutheran Church in southwest Minot. The Rev.?Paul?Krueger said between 250 and 300 volunteers are expected per week. It's a grand plan, and the spirit of volunteerism from around the country has been an amazing sight. Minot welcomes the help, which will be crucial in getting hundreds of homeowners and families back into their homes as the city continues to push forward with recovery and protection plans for the future.

猫だ!カフェ — In Japanese, this says "Neko da! Cafe", or literally "It's a Cat! Cafe" but, the cafe is actually called "Nyanda Cafe", which is a play on words of "Nanda" (meaning "What?") and "Nyan" which is the sound a cat makes. So, it's kind of like, "Whaaat? A cat cafe!?" This cat cafe is located in Odaiba and formerly operated as Cats Livin. We've been told that it's the largest cat cafe in Tokyo, as it is home to over 40 cats.
As you can see on the map, the cafe is very large and is divided into separate areas. Not all of the cats are out at once. Some stay behind glass doors resting, while the others wander and lounge around.
You'll find them sleeping lazily everywhere and anywhere. We thought this cat in a box was especially cute.
It costs 1,200 yen per adult to enter the cafe, which seems a bit expensive but you actually get 1 hour of time with the cats (compared to 15-30 minutes) plus one drink is included in the price, so it's actually not bad.
This little guy was one of my favorites, but he didn't really enjoy being touched. He actually pushed my hand away when I tried to pet him, so I left him alone after taking his picture.
I really wanted to play with this cat, but he was too busy sleeping. He had really long whiskers and eyebrow hairs!!!
I spent most of my time with this cat. He liked it when I pet him and he often posed for the camera. He must like the attention.
This cat was pretty funny. I called him Garfield because that's who he reminded me of. Silly cat was hanging out on the table where you place your finished drinks. Silly kitty!
To get to Nyanda Cafe, you can take a train to either Odaibakaihinkoen Station or Tokyo Teleport Station and then walk just a short distance. The cafe is street level and is very hard to miss because of its pink cat exterior. They're open from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm daily.

Is Lawrence Block giving his stamp-collecting hit man the last word?
If 'Hit Me' (Mulholland Books) turns out to be Lawrence Block's last work of fiction, as the 74-year-old mystery grandmaster suggested to the New York Daily News it might be, then it's a fine finale for a writer who never stopped growing, and who allowed some of his series characters the same privilege of changing.
I can't remember if I first found Block through his old fiction-writing column in Writer's Digest, or through one of his early Matthew Scudder or Bernie Rhodenbarr mysteries. But from the beginning I found his writing like pizza: good even in its ordinary manifestations, mind-blowing in its excellent ones. As a reader, I feel the same way about his late friend and occasional collaborator, Donald E. Westlake. As professional writers of popular fiction, they saw their job as keeping readers entertained enough to turn the page, and turn the pages we did. »Read Full Blog Post
Singing, acting both stellar in 'Figaro'
Actors are taught to act and opera singers are taught to sing - and all too rarely do the twain really meet.
The Florentine Opera Company's production of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro," directed by Candace Evans, cast that notion aside Friday evening with a spot-on blend of absolutely sterling singing and audience-connected acting. »Read Full Article

No wonder Electra has a complex. The question is whether her righteous anger regarding the murder of her father (Agamemnon) can justify plotting with her brother (Orestes) to murder Mom (Clytemnestra) and Mom's new squeeze (Aegisthus). »Read Full Article

Officials in Vail, Colorado are considering legislation [1] that would make recycling mandatory for residents and businesses in the world-renowned ski town. Vail currently diverts around 20 percent of its waste stream and has a goal to lift that number to 25 percent by 2019.
Columbus, Ohio is expanding [2] its recycling collection program to include around 15,000 multifamily residences in the city. Bins will be distributed to those residents during the first few months of 2014, and the push means a total of 200,000 households in the city will have access to curbside recycling.
Casella Waste Systems announced [3] year-over-year revenue growth of 13.2 percent for the second quarter of its 2014 fiscal year. The firm's adjusted operating income was $9.7 million, up more than 50 percent from the same quarter a year ago. Casella provides waste management services for communities in a number of Northeast states.
Public health organization NSF International is now offering [4] companies a landfill-free verification that can be used for marketing and sustainability tracking purposes. To earn the mark, firms must demonstrate that less than 1 percent of their waste streams are sent to landfills. It should be noted that waste-to-energy does not equate to landfilling under the system's guidelines, so companies can lump that process into their diversion totals.
San Francisco-based Recology has donated $40,000 [5] to help relief efforts in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan, which battered the Philippines last month. Hundreds of workers at the company contributed by donating vacation days.

I moved out of oklahoma, to the big city of Dallas, texas where im originally from. It was probably one of the best things i could do for my health, because it is super easy to find affordable organic foods here, which excites me plenty!
anyways glad to be here, cant wait to learn!
I have already purchased the blueprint cookbook...love it!
I am the creator of my reality
Welcome back Nellita!

Just in time for Father's Day (this Sunday) comedian Juston McKinney dropped a hot new track.
In more professional terms McKinney has made a great parody of Jay-Z's "New York State Of Mind" by turning it into a song about being a new dad. Throughout the song, McKinney goes through the usual motions about how single guys have it better, but in the end the love for his kid shows through. After all, who wouldn't love chasing their naked little son around the house trying to get clothes on him?
I'd like to dedicate this song to the wonderful Editor in Chief of Punchline Magazine, Dylan Gadino. His life is now likely similar to what's depicted in McKinney's video, so best of luck, sir. Be sure to check out McKinney's new Comedy Central special – Juston McKinney: A Middle-Class Hole – out on June 26th.
And Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there.

Stupid heart, cupid heart
Where will you go from here?
Magnetic ring, magnetic draw
Ooh, what you got me into?
I'm a wolf, chrome craw
Leavin' you now
- I'll write ya, ma
Takin' a putt up to Carson City
Well, if you hear me howlin'
Wehell, sittin' pretty
Tasted nitty gritty
Puttin' on into Carson City
Sparks, tattoos, two tats and a toot
Helmets, crosses, and a patch to boot
Engine hot, pipes burn white
Glad I'm not home tonight
Five miles back I took a spill
- Thought I almost paid my bill
Makin' my putt to Carson City
Party time with the Jones-by-name
Ah, it's a shame
Say, it's a pity
Gotta put outta Carson City
Ha ha ha ha ha

Abbot of Bobbio, date of birth unknown; d. 639 or 640. He was the son of a pagan nobleman in Austrasia and a near relative of St. Arnulf, Bishop of Metz, whose pious example had such an influence on Bertulf that he became a Christian and in 620 entered the monastery of Luxeuil. A few years later he became acquainted with Abbot Attala, who had come to Luxeuil on a visit, and, with permission of Abbot Eustace of Luxeuil, joined Attala's community at Bobbio in Italy. Upon the death of Attala, in 627, Bertulf was elected by the monks of Bobbio as their abbot. Like his holy predecessor, he insisted on the observance of the austere rule introduced by St. Columban, the founder of Bobbio, and preached fearlessly against Arianism, which had gained a firm foothold in Italy under the Lombard kings. When the Bishop of Tortona endeavoured to bring Bobbio under his own jurisdiction, Bertulf hastened to Rome, where Pope Honorius received him kindly and granted the monastery entire exemption from episcopal jurisdiction. Jonas, a monk of Bobbio, who accompanied Bertulf on his journey to Rome, relates that, while returning to his monastery, Bertulf was attacked by a deadly fever, and cured miraculously by St. Peter. The same author ascribes a few other miracles to the prayers of St. Bertulf. Most martyrologies give him the title of saint. His feast is celebrated on 19 August.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

DETROIT, MI - Talk about an interesting combo.
Five Finger Death Punch frontman Ivan Moody said Tuesday on SiriusXM's Octane channel that he's trying to get Kid Rock to do a collaboration with the heavy metal band.
An excerpt from Moody's interview with Octane's Kayla Riley:
"I actually put out request for Kid Rock. .. I don't care what anybody says; he's a (bleeping) rockstar; he's badass. I love that cat!"
It's unclear if Kid Rock will accept the offer. He's a busy guy with eight shows coming up this month at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston that offered $20 tickets.
News of FFDP's efforts to work with Kid Rock came the same day news surfaced that the band will perform Oct. 8 at the Fillmore Detroit.
Ticket for the show go on sale Saturday. For more information, visit the Fillmore Detroit's Facebook page and Live Nation's website.
The interview with Moody that aired Tuesday appeared to be a replay of an interview Moody had with Octane earlier this month.
A few Riley tweets confirming it was a replay:
Replay of my interview with Ivan & Zoltan for @sxmoctane FIVE DAY DEATH PUNCH today at 5pm ET/ 2pm PT. Be there!!— Kayla Riley (@TheKaylaRiley) July 30, 2013
FIVE DAY DEATH PUNCH on @sxmoctane right now! My interview with Ivan and Zoltan over the next hour. Plus their... http://t.co/IwMw8T2twh— Kayla Riley (@TheKaylaRiley) July 29, 2013
More from Moody in the Octane interview about FFDP's effort to collaborate with other musicians:
"There's tons of people we'd love to work with. The fact is that everyone is busy. You know, you've got constant touring schedules, and studios, and releases, and press. So, it's just reaching out and seeing who's available at the time. And in all honesty, it's just such an honor to have anyone want to be a part of this with us."
FFDP released Tuesday its new album entitled "The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 1."
What do you think about Kid Rock possibly working with FFDP and the metal band's upcoming show in Detroit?

There are really only two types of companies out there: the disrupters and the disrupted.
What's in your portfolio?
It's not an easy question to answer. Everyone likes to think that their stocks are the lions feasting on the gazelles. They can't even begin to fathom that the speedy gazelles may be the ones turning the tables and gnawing on the overly confident lions. It can be a costly mistake, because knowing the difference separates the market beaters from the blindsided and vanquished.
Thankfully, there's an easy exercise that will help you determine if you're holding the prey or the hunter. I call it the three-year test.
How relevant will the companies in which you invest be in three years? If you can drum up an unbiased response, you will be able to sidestep losers today and load up on winners.
Take three steps back before going three years forward
The hardest step in this exercise is actually approaching your own stocks objectively. Investors are primarily optimists, so the art of detachment, and pondering the worst-case scenario, is not entirely natural.
Do it, though. You want to make money -- perhaps a whole lot of money -- in this market, don't you?
Let me cut to the jugular. You may very well own Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) -- it's one of the most widely held stocks in the country. Now can you honestly explain to me how the world's leading software company will be as relevant in 2012 as it is in 2009?
Sure, there will be a wider audience of computer users in three years, but they aren't as likely to rely on Microsoft. Between open-source operating systems, free cloud-computing knockoffs of Microsoft Office, and a growing number of Web browsers, Microsoft will only continue to relinquish market share in many of its high-margin businesses. I can see MSN finally turning a profit by then. The company's Xbox franchise could definitely be more relevant. However, by and large, Microsoft will never be as important as it used to be. It has a crosshairs tattoo, and everyone is taking a shot.
The other side of the Microsoft coin is Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) . Now, here is a company that can clearly matter more in three years. The leading search engine is growing revenue and market share, even as the global ad market is faltering. It may be retreating out of old-school ad markets like print and radio, but its role as a localized lead generator will only improve in time.
Dig for disruptors
Every company believes that no one else can build a better mouse trap. Shareholders know better. Disruptors always come along. Heck, even disruptors get disrupted. Remember when AOL owned online connectivity, and eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY ) revolutionized consumer-to-consumer commerce? Speedier AOL alternatives and the proliferation of Craigslist-esque eBay slayers turned the hunters into the hunted.
If you want to beat the market, the first step is to stay ahead of the market. Where are the disruptors today? They're everywhere, if you know where to look. Here are four I'm eyeing:
- Axsys Technologies (Nasdaq: AXYS ) is raising the stakes in the surveillance market with its high-performance cameras.
- China Finance Online (Nasdaq: JRJC ) is growing quickly as a provider of premium stock market research in a country that is warming up to the merits of free markets with unsophisticated investors hungry for an edge.
- AeroVironment (Nasdaq: AVAV ) is making waves in the military with its unmanned aircraft vehicles, sparing lives in recon missions.
- NetScout (Nasdaq: NTCT ) is the niche leader in helping companies monitor uptime for high-speed networks, something that will be even more important as more transactions go online.
How did I come across these disruptors? Well, I'm one of the analysts on the Motley Fool Rule Breakers newsletter team. Two of these stocks -- China Finance Online and AeroVironment -- are active recommendations. Subscribers can also unearth superior growth stock ideas on the lively discussion boards, where members pick apart potential winners.
These are companies that I can see mattering a lot more in the future. They specialize in niche industries that can take down -- or revolutionize -- larger sectors. They pass my three-year test.
Sorry, Microsoft. You flunked with fading colors.
Join me and my fellow subscribers in sniffing out the next wave of market-thumping disruptors. I invite you to check out Motley Fool Rule Breakers free for the next 30 days.
Longtime Fool contributor Rick Munarriz is a fan of disruptive growth stocks and has been part of the Rule Breakers analyst team since its inception nearly five years ago. He owns shares in NetScout. Microsoft and eBay are Motley Fool Inside Value selections. China Finance Online, Google, and AeroVironment are Motley Fool Rule Breakers selections. eBay and Axsys Technologies are Motley Fool Stock Advisor recommendations.

Lucky seven: Federal Way's Pinson sets SPSL touchdown record during 69-21 win over TJ; Gig Harbor next
Federal Way High School senior Trenton Pinson didn't treat his old teammates very well Thursday night, to say the least.
Pinson broke the all-time South Puget Sound League single-game touchdown record by scoring an eye-popping seven times during the Eagles' 69-21 blowout of the Thomas Jefferson Raiders (1-8) at Federal Way Memorial Stadium.
Making the record even more impressive, if that's possible, is the fact that Pinson transferred to Federal Way last school year from Jefferson.
The Eagles (7-2) entered the postseason as the fourth seed from the SPSL North after finishing in a three-way tie for second with Kentwood and Kentridge. Kentwood earned the second seed and Kentridge snagged the third, thanks to the SPSL's power-point tiebreaking system. Unbeaten Auburn won the North title.
As the fourth seed, the Eagles travelled to Gig Harbor Tuesday (after press time) to play a loser-out, pigtail game against the Tides. Gig Harbor is the fifth-place team from the Narrows League. The winner will travel to the Vancouver area Saturday to take on the champions of the Greater St. Helen's League, Skyview, in the preliminary round of the 32-team state playoffs.
But Pinson was the story Thursday night at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. The 6-foot, 185-pounder scored on touchdown runs of 56, 1, 15, 9, 8, 5 and 4 yards, bringing his season total to 20. The previous SPSL record for TDs in a single game was five, which was held by 24 different players.
Pinson scored all seven of his touchdowns during the first half, when Federal Way rolled out to a 42-0 lead after the first quarter and 63-7 at halftime.
In total, Pinson carried the ball only 13 times for 177 yards.
Pinson has been on fire during the Eagles' current six-game winning streak. The senior has scored 17 touchdowns during those six games and racked up 843 yards on the ground on just 103 carries.
Federal Way also got touchdowns from kicker Kelyn Rowe, who scored on a 28-yard run in the first quarter, Isiah Umipig on a 48-yard interception return in the first quarter and Wintson Havili, who tallied a 1-yard TD run in the fourth quarter.
The Raiders got a pair of touchdown catches from Scott Sanford on the night. The first came in the second quarter on an 18-yarder, and the second came in the fourth quarter from 20 yards out. Senior Michael Sallee also snared a 49-yard TD pass from K.W. Williams in the third quarter.
The Raiders' season will conclude Thursday night when they take on the Decatur Gators in an SPSL crossover game at Federal Way Memorial Stadium.
Beamer 45, Decatur 0
The Titans had six different players score touchdowns during a 45-0 blowout of cross-district rival Decatur Friday night at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. The win moved Beamer to 3-5 in the SPSL South and 4-5 overall.
The Titans will end their season Thursday night when they travel to Tahoma High School in an SPSL crossover game against the Bears. Tahoma finished 3-5 in the SPSL North.
Against Decatur, the Titans got on the scoreboard with first-quarter touchdowns from Dominique Maxie and Nick Bod. Maxie's was a 3-yard run and Bod caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Ben Draeger. Beamer added a safety, a field goal and a 12-yard touchdown pass from Draeger to Nicky Fualaau to give the Titans a 25-0 halftime lead.
Beamer's three second-half touchdowns came on a 10-yard run from T.J. Esekielu, a 20-yard interception return by Willie Roach and a 21-yard touchdown pass from Andrew Sweeting to C.J. Simpson.
The loss was the Gators' seventh in a row after starting the season 2-0 with wins over Emerald Ridge and Puyallup. Decatur (2-6, 2-7) has really struggled during the past four weeks, getting shutout twice and being outscored 205-25.
The Gators end their season Thursday with a crossover game against Jefferson (1-8) at Federal Way Memorial Stadium.

Mix together the following: Scraps of fabric, thread, recycled jeans and a group of women dedicating hour after hour of labor doing something they love. The result is a tremendous impact on several community groups in need support.
The Joy Quilters, based at Lamb of God Lutheran Church, distributed checks totaling $17,000 to five local nonprofit programs during their annual Spring luncheon on May 21. The monies were raised by the group during the group's annual quilt auction and luncheon held during March.
"We sew and work all year long to prepare for the auction," said Elva Ellerman, quilt show coordinator. "This past year, we sold and donated 251 quilts to raise funds to help these programs.
Receiving checks worth $3,700 each were Mt. Olive AME Feeding Ministry, Community Christian Concern, STARC and The Caring Center. NAMI (National Alliance for the Mentally Ill) of St. Tammany received a check for $1,000. The check recipients were the guests of honor at the luncheon, hosted by member Kathy Jones at her homes.
The quilters meet weekly throughout the year to produce the quilts. They use new and donated materials, as well as recycling gently used blue jeans to make the colorful and durable quilts for donation.
The monies distributed means a lot to the groups receiving the donations.
"We are grateful for this donation. We served approximately 4,000 people last year. These are the least, the last and the lost in our community, those who are hurting the most," said Debbie Schimmeck, CCC Executive Director. The CCC will be consolidating their programs into the Mirimon Center building on Carey Street in June.
STARC will be using the donation it received to fund summer programs for adult clients, according to Diane Trembley, Assistant to the Executive Director. "We serve more than 1,300 families in 14 different programs. We really appreciate your support," said Trembley told the quilters upon receiving the check for STARC.
Natasha Woods, Food Services Manager for the Mt. Olive Feeding Ministry thanked the ladies for their support. "Our program is struggling financially like every other program here. We are prayful that we can keep the doors open with support from people like you," said Woods. The Feeding Ministry prepares meals for 325 people, six days a week, predominately for the elderly and the homeless.
The donation to NAMI of St. Tammany is the first donation from a group in Slidell, according to President Celeste Falconer. "We will use the money to spread the word that we offer free education and support programs for individuals and families affected by mental illness," said Falconer.
Along with the monetary donations, the Joy Quilters donated more than 100 quilts to area programs such as Slidell Memorial Hospital, the Pregnancy Crisis Center and Slidell nursing homes, according to Ellerman.
Celebrating another year of community service, the quilters and their guests joined in a circle in the kitchen to sing a blessing over the food and then enjoyed a buffet lunch while dining poolside at Jones' home.
The day was the culmination of another year's worth of hard work, according to Ellerman.
"I think one of the best parts of our program is that we have fun working together," said Ellerman. "As women get older, they can start to feel useless. This group allows us to work together all year to create something wonderful."

Pan-African Forum "Africa: Sources and Resources for a Culture of Peace"
The Pan-African Forum titled "Africa:Sources and Resources for a Culture of Peace"was jointly organized by UNESCO, the African Union and the Government of Angola. Director General of UNESCO Ms. Irina Bokova had an opening speech which was followed by a speech of the President of Angola, H.E. Jose Eduardo Dos Santos, and the opening ceremony was closed by the Vice President of the African Union, H.E. Erastus Mwencha.The Forum gathered over 300 experts(decision makers, business leaders, thinkers and artists) and its goal was to harness Africa's sources of inspiration and cultural, natural and human resources to establish concrete proposals for building and developing sustainable peace.Special emphasis was placed on engagement of the African Youth who make up 65 % of Africa's population.The Forum also provided the setting for the launch of the "Make Peace Happen" campaign.This regional movement will galvanize actors from all sectors of African society, to promote a culture of peace, and sensitize public opinion,particularly the opinion of young people, on ways to construct and consolidate peace and nonviolence in daily life.
The Pan-African Forum "Africa: Sources and Resources for a Culture of Peace" prepared an Action Plan focused on prevention of violence and the resolution of conflicts in Africa which will be submitted during the upcoming summit of the AU Head of States in May taking place in Addis Ababa.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for AT&T with 4G label crosses through the FCC
AT&T's path to the LTE network may not be as bright and bold as some may like, but no one can say they certainly aren't trying now. Right after the wireless carrier announced a pair of new smartphones for their LTE network (the HTC Vivid and Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket), the network may be getting ready to announce yet another device, this time of the tablet variety.
A tablet with the Samsung brand name, bearing the model number SGH-I957, has gone through the labyrinth known as the FCC, and as you can see from the image above, there's the well-known 4G image from AT&T. But, right under that 4G is the LTE logo as well, marking the tablet above AT&T's HSPA+ network, and angling right there in the LTE bands. While there's no mention in the FCC filing what size the display is, it's believed to be the 10.1-inch model. Obviously there's no word on a release date or price, but if AT&T wants to get the tablet out in the wild in time for Christmas shopping, we'll know all of that soon enough.

What did a week of online ranting about potholes accomplish? Plenty.
Crews patched and patched and patched some more as Road Rant shared stories from the rough roads in twice-a-day posts at cleveland.com. Reader tips led to every tale told . . . as well as the fixes that followed. We're going to keep at it this week. Why? Well, call it a hunch, but Road Rant suspects a few more craters are out there.
Contact information to send in your "rant" can be found at the end of this column. Include pictures with the submission, if possible, and be specific on the location of the pothole.
But before we move ahead, let's look back at what did -- and didn't -- get done last week.
•Monster potholes lurked on Ambleside Road off Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. They have been tamed. Problem posted at 7 a.m. Monday. Last reported status: Patching done sometime midweek.
•Road Rant description of a pothole on Rocky River Drive near Our Lady of Angels School warranted a clarification. "Excuse me, but that is not a pothole," according to a tweet -- hashtag #clepotholes -- from ctownchick1. "That is a TRENCH." Problem posted at 3 p.m. Monday. Last reported status: Lanes closed and patching done Tuesday along a large section of Rocky River Drive.
•A section of West 25th Street quickly turned into a car part Lost & Found as deep potholes separated hubcaps from cars near Potter Court, just north of Interstate 90. Problem posted at 9 a.m. Tuesday. Last reported status: Patched by Wednesday morning, and crews continued south on West 25th to fill dozens of other craters.
•Last week began with two large potholes near the intersection of Washington Boulevard and Thayne Road in Cleveland Heights. It ended with none. Problem posted at 3 p.m. Tuesday. Last reported status: Patched as of Thursday morning.
•Joe Hooley changed his commute to avoid Prospect Avenue and spare his vehicle from all the potholes between the Inner Belt and East 55th Street. A few repairs on the avenue brought him back. Problem posted at 3 p.m. Tuesday. Last reported status: Patched as of Thursday.
•There's a reason person after person drives down the centerline on Bender Road in North Ridgeville: They're keeping between the potholes that pockmark the stretch between Chestnut Ridge Road and Sugar Ridge Road. Problem posted at 7 a.m. Wednesday. Last reported status: Repairs planned for this week.
•A pothole on West 117th Street at Linnet Avenue made column correspondent Betsy Fox think Hollywood. "If I had a convertible and a BFF," she emailed, "I'd think I was Thelma and Louise sailing into the Grand Canyon." Problem posted at 3 p.m. Wednesday. Last reported status: Patched on Friday, but the repair seems to be crumbling.
•The key to a successful business? Location, location, location . . . which is why Best Buy Tire is perfectly placed at Superior Avenue and East 49th Street. Potholes at the intersection and nearby on Superior can turn travelers into customers in no time flat. Problem posted at 7 a.m. Thursday. Last reported status: Unfilled.
•The honor for biggest pothole of the week belongs to the whopper in the southbound curb lane of East 72nd Street, just past a railroad bridge south of Interstate 90. The water-filled void measured in at 7 feet long. An online commenter with the moniker RioVerde suggested it might be a "new city pool." Problem posted at 7 a.m. Thursday. Last reported status: Patched as of Saturday.
•Drivers who exited Interstate 90 eastbound and hurried to catch a green light at West Boulevard might have rushed into something else -- a flat tire. Deep and hard-to-see potholes awaited in the middle of the intersection for anyone turning to head north on the boulevard. Problem posted at 3 p.m. Thursday. Last reported status: Patched as of Monday afternoon.
•A pothole in front of the Estabrook Recreation Center on Fulton Road turned curb-lane drivers into joggers. Vehicles routinely swerved left to "jog" around the pavement opening, which too up nearly half the lane. Problem posted at 7 a.m. Friday. Last reported status: Patched as of Monday afternoon.
•West 151st Street traffic is in a rut. A deep and wide gorge stretches from the curb where West 151st meets West 150th Street between Lorain Avenue and Interstate 71. Vehicles must climb out of the chasm to make a turn. Problem posted at 3 p.m. Friday. Last reported status: Unfilled.
Do you know of a pothole that needs patching? If so, send the tip to firstname.lastname@example.com. Include a photo, if possible, and be specific on the location. Road Rant will feature the worst of the worst potholes in posts at cleveland.com/roadrant at 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday during pothole season. You can also leave a comment here or use the hashtag #clepotholes on social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Tor Browser Attacked, Users Should Update Software Immediately
If you are using software based on Firefox major version 21 or earlier, Thunderbird 17.06 or earlier, or SeaMonkey 2.18 or earlier, please update your software immediately. Tor Browser Bundle users who have not updated to the most recent version are also at risk, and so we've provided a screenshot tutorial for how to update the Tor Browser Bundle below.
Tor and the Tor Browser: Security and the Importance of Updating
Tor is a powerful anonymity tool that allows human rights activists, dissidents and whistleblowers to use web services anonymously to avoid harassment, imprisonment and in some cases death. Tor also allows users to circumvent several forms of surveillance and censorship. The Tor Browser is a modified version of Firefox that ships with the Tor Browser Bundle to provide users with an easy way to browse with Tor without any configuration required.
Given the importance of Tor to users around the world, the security of both Tor and the Tor Browser are absolutely critical. This type of attack cannot be narrowly focused on particular Tor or Tor Browser users suspected of breaking the law, and leaves vulnerable the multitude of other users worldwide who depend on these tools for anonymity. In this case, all users of older versions of the Tor Browser Bundle are potentially vulnerable and the issue requires immediate attention.
What Can Users Do?
Tor does not provide automatic security updates. Instead, the Tor Browser currently requires users to manually download and install the update of the Tor Browser Bundle. The Tor Project is working on a fix for this, and this attack highlights the importance of allowing users to auto-update. For now, if you are using an outdated version of the Tor Browser, you should update your Tor Browser Bundle software immediately. Here are detailed instructions for Windows users:
1. Open your current Tor browser, and determine what version of Firefox is running by clicking the "TorBrowser" button:
2. Click on "Help" -> "About TorBrowser" to determine your version. If it below 17.07, then you are vulnerable:
3. Click the TorButton icon and go to "Download Tor Browser Bundle Update":
4. You should be taken to the Tor Browser Bundle homepage, where you click to download the executable file:
5. Download this executable file. Click through the warning about launching the executable file:
6. Once the file is downloaded, extract the application either to the same directory where Tor exists or a new directory for this version:
7. Launch the "Start Tor Browser" executable from the same directory where you extracted the application and check the version to make sure that you're up to date.
If you see Firefox version 17.0.7 or greater, then you're up to date.

I remember clearly that morning In Biology 100 at Dalhousie University in the early spring of 1959. There were more than 200 students in the class, including me, although by no definition acceptable to the English language could I ever be described as a student. I found the class interesting enough, but the art of studying was lost on me.
Consequently I found myself repeating Biology 100.
The professor was a Dr. Stallworthy, a nice enough fellow with a great beard and no great grasp of English pronunciation — a source of constant glee to those of his students who had no great grasp of botany, say.
"The wuut is connected to the fuut," he would remind us over and over again. Translation: the root is connected to the fruit.
I did not know many students in biology. I cannot remember how many students there were in Dalhousie in those days, but probably somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000, the same as Memorial has now.
I could be wrong, but it seemed to me coming from a tiny two-room school in Western Bay that there were an awful lot. There were no residences other than Sheriff Hall, the girls' abode, and King's College, which had its own dorm.
If you'll be patient with me, I'll get to the point of all this. If you remember the spring of 1959 in Newfoundland, you probably already know.
I went to class that particular morning as I did every morning and found my normal seat in the second row from the back. In that same row were several young nuns preparing for something or other, but extremely nice people.
I got to know them and enjoyed their company, as I think they did mine. I don't know to what extent my aside comments to Dr. Stallworthy's lectures contributed to their final mark in that course. I know they thought I was hilarious.
By this time, no matter how much I tried to hide, I had come under the scrutiny of
Dr. Stallworthy himself. So it was that when he came in that morning he searched the back rows until he found me and addressed himself to me thusly.
"Ah, Mr. Smith, it's a terrible time they're having in your province." Or words to that effect. There had to be other people in that class from my province, so I don't know why he singled me out as being representative.
Students started moving around to see where this Mr. Smith might be and two or three I did know began pointing at me. To his credit, Dr. Stallworthy didn't ask me to stand up. But now there was a curiosity as to what may have happened in Newfoundland in the immediate past. I knew, but waited for the good professor to enlighten everyone at my expense. It didn't take long.
"It would seem that Mr. Smallwood, the premier of Newfoundland, has decertified a legally constituted union, the International Woodworkers of America (IWA) , thus making it illegal for them to represent the loggers of Newfoundland in their efforts to win a decent wage and livable working conditions from the company that employs them. Those conditions are deplorable."
Immediately there was a round of hisses and boos from the second-year students in the classroom, all staring back at me as if the whole fiasco were my fault. Not six of them could tell a log jam from a cod trap or a logging camp from fishing rooms. They just knew Smallwood as a dictator and anything he did was automatically unjust.
The people in that room had no idea how bad working conditions of loggers actually were. In fact, neither did I, a Newfoundlander born and bred and living among men who made part of their meager living "in the lumberwoods."
Although the IWA was hardly blameless in the methods they used to fire up loggers in their perfectly justifiable struggles against the company, they did expose the fact that men were forced to work like dogs for a pittance and were often fed and housed like animals.
As clashes between the two sides intensified, Smallwood brought in the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary to try and maintain order. The effect was just the opposite.
Loggers got angrier and the company reacted accordingly. When Joey, in a fit of anger himself — especially with the IWA president H. Landon Ladd, against whom he seemed to develop a personal vendetta — decertified the union, all hell broke loose.
It came to a head on March 10, 1959, in the normally peaceful little town of Badger. The demonstrating loggers whipped up by their legitimate concerns and the goading of the now-illegal union, came head to head with the members of the RNC and things turned violent.
In an event that many people in Badger recall vividly to this day, someone threw a piece of wood through the air which struck young RNC Const. William Moss in the head and killed him.
It was the beginning of the end for the clashes between company and loggers. There were investigations into living and working conditions and things were dramatically improved.
But a young man who was just doing his job had lost his life, and no one except his family felt worse about it than the loggers and people of Badger.
In the 50-plus years since, they have felt this scar upon their town from a series of events that otherwise were morally justified.
This year, they went about doing what they could to redress that great wrong and bring everything full circle. In an impressive ceremony in that town, two monuments were unveiled. One to the memory of Moss, and the other to the long-suffering loggers of that long-ago time.
The people of Badger are to be congratulated in their efforts to fittingly remember the suffering of both logger and police officer in their contribution to making the logging profession tolerable and honorable.
Good on you all.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- A 32-year-old Plainfield Township man accused of not telling a sexual partner he was HIV-positive is back in the Kent County Jail after he allegedly was on a gay online dating site.
Kent County Circuit Judge James Redford on Wednesday, Feb. 27, raised Jeremy Merithew's bond to $300,000. Merithew was previously out on bond after posting 10 percent of a $5,000 bond. He was arrested in August and charged with sexual penetration with an uninformed partner.
Related: Accuser testifies how West Michigan man allegedly lied about HIV status before sex, but admitted it afterward
At the time, Kent County sheriff's deputies issued a public advisory about Merithew, saying his activity was a possible public health threat. They asked anyone who may have been "exposed" to him to contact the Kent County Health Department for testing.
On Wednesday, Redford reviewed evidence and printed web pages that allegedly showed recent Internet activity of Merithew, including language that the judge considered "sexual in nature."
There was a naked picture of Merithew and evidence he had been on the site Adam4Adam, a gay dating web site.
Redford ruled the activity was violation of Merithew's bond. Merithew is awaiting trial and a judge will hear motions in the case Friday.

The Popes Agree To Hate Your Marriage
The great thing about having a pope and a pope emeritus is that the Vatican can double the hatred. In an unprecedented joint document —unprecendented because the predecessor is usually dead — Pope Francis and the retired Pope Benedict XVI have co-written a religious text that insists marriage "should be a stable union of man and woman."
Benedict had almost finished penning the 82-page poem to homophobia before stepping down from office. His inability to meet a deadline meant that Pope Francis could join in the celebration of anything that is not gay.
"This union is born of their love, as a sign and presence of God's own love, and of the acknowledgment and acceptance of the goodness of sexual differentiation," reads the text.
Just to add a little more spice to the antigay stew, the Vatican is moving closer to declaring John Paul II a saint. The Church has attributed a second miracle to him, a key step in the move toward sainthood. This is the same John Paul II who wondered if gay rights "is not perhaps part of a new ideology of evil, perhaps more insidious and hidden, which attempts to pit human rights against the family and against man." Which gives you some sense of what the Vatican considers to be holy.

@Cam: There's already a group who've promised to leak a full digital rip of the movie before release.
It will be THE most widely distributed pre-release of a digital rip ever if what's been buzzing about is true.
Me, I won't watch it, nor will I download it *WINK WINK* and ensure it's uploaded. From what I've read it should be in the millions of downloads.
Also on topic, when are we just going to refer to these vermin as paedophile priests, considering they're both paedophiles and in the case of Nazipope protecting thousands of paedophiles too.
These men have sex with children and see nothing wrong with it. In fact, they truly believe that they have a right to do it.
If you're not under their indoctrination, you see that the church has NOTHING to do with faith or religion, or helping the poor and unfortunate.
All they care about it money and power. Their charities – publicly funded indoctrination centers – "swear your fealty or starve you dirty poor people!"
The truth is, the whole myth of the catholic church is the modern day "Big Lie".
not surprised,new face same Hate,that's all the catholic church stands for
At the link below is the full text of the "Reichskonkordat," the political treaty between the Vatican and Adolf Hitler. At the time this treaty was signed, the anti-Jewish racial laws were already in force in Nazi Germany:
Here is an example of what is in the treaty:
Article 3
In order to foster good relations between the Holy See and the German Reich, an apostolic nuncio will reside in the capital of the German Reich and an ambassador of the German Reich at the Holy See.
Our relationships are rooted in love between consenting adults. These men sexually abuse vulnerable children and cover up for the perverts, by moving sexual predators from diocese to diocese. Vestments and collars are equated with perversion and sexual exploitation of children. Dirty, vile "men of the cloth" have little moral authority, so the Catholic Church is relegated to playing, "name that Saint" games to perk up interest. Scandals are tedious, so let's rack up another Saint Red Herring to divert the flock's interest for a week. Idols are so easy.
