I like boards with moderate rocker, flat bottom to vee tail. 50/50 rails to hard rails on the hips to tail. Diamond or squash tail. Scoop under the nose is nice too. Basically a nose rider in front and a hplb in the back. All around.
9-6, same outline and rocker template as a Walden Mega Magic, but not 4" thick, maybe 2-7/8 thick and with a slightly narrower rounded pin tail than the usual. see Chris Birch's Chauffeur model
9'6" single fin. At least a 16" tail. 24" wide. Pulled in nose for beach break bottom turns. 2 3/4" thick. Maybe 3". Toss in a step deck for the hell of it. Fin box for diversity. Don't forget your floaties.
Big hip toward the back, scoop some of the nose out. Those combined features will be the best middle ground parking on the nose as well as some kind of turning ability.
lee... a lot of guys around here are looking for the same thing... 60% noserider, 40% performance. What I've been doing with good results, and out of the Y series blanks, is a long blended nose concave 1/3 the length of the board, to flat, to rolled vee peaking at the leading edge of the fin, to flat behind the box. Wide point back, NO HARD EDGES. The rail goes from beveled up around the nose, to soft 70/40 through the middle, to thin and 50/50 in the tail. I also shape a little concave in the tail on the deck side... and old school local shaper here taught me that, and I think it works. Combine that with a wide, heavy wood tail block and you got a decent noserider, that can turn and respond in east coast beachies.
The tail block can add some weight at the end of a very long lever. I make mine out of darker, heavier wood, accented by thin strips of bright pine of varying widths. The tiny bit of added weight in the tail might only help keep the tail down marginally, but it sure doesn't hurt... it might make the difference between the tail popping out or not, so I'll take any advantage I can get. The little concave on the deck helps hold water over the tail, also helping to keep it down. But in order for it to work, you have to have water flowing over the rails and onto the deck. That means soft rails all the way, with no hard edges that will make water release from the rail, rather than wrap around onto the deck.

Peralta Explodes, Brewers Drop Series to Dodgers
MILWAUKEE (AP) _ Dodgers manager Don Mattingly criticized his team and benched All-Star right fielder Andre Ethier, then watched Los Angeles beat the Milwaukee Brewers 9-2 Wednesday.
Mattingly, in the third and final year of his contract, discussed his club's lack of mental toughness and said he wanted a balanced team that has grit and fight. He benched Ethier for the third time in six games and said he was ``putting out my lineup that I feel is going to be the most competitive and going to compete the hardest.''
Carl Crawford and Scott Van Slyke drove in two runs each and Ramon Hernandez hit his first home run with the Dodgers.
Rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu (5-2), given a 7-0 lead, allowed two runs and six hits in a season-high 7 1-3 innings. Ryu has allowed two earned runs or fewer in seven of his 10 appearances.
Los Angeles is last in the NL West at 19-26.
Milwaukee is off Thursday before welcoming the Pirates to Miller Park for a weekend series. Game one Friday starts at 7:10pm, with coverage on 1310 WIBA at 6:35pm.

What is a hernia?
A hernia is a bulge that results when an organ or some tissue is out of place. Hernias can happen in the groin, the abdomen, and the diaphragm. Sometimes a hernia is apparent at birth, but other times a hernia might develop in the first few months after a baby is born -- or even later in childhood or adulthood.
In children, the most common hernias are inguinal hernias, which occur in the genital region, and umbilical hernias, which are found around the navel. Both of these hernias most often happen in babies.
(You may have heard the terms "incarcerated" and "strangulated" hernia. An incarcerated hernia is one that the doctor can't push back manually. A strangulated hernia -- which can happen within hours of incarceration -- is one that is cutting off blood supply to part of the intestine. A strangulated hernia is an emergency.)
What causes an inguinal hernia?
During gestation, a boy's testicles develop inside his abdomen, and then, sometime before birth, they push through a tunnel in the tissue between the groin and the abdomen (called the inguinal canal) and descend into the scrotal sac.
In girls, the ovaries descend through the tunnel and into the pelvis. At that point, the passage through the abdominal wall should close up.
In about 5 percent of babies (mostly boys, and especially those who were premature), the opening remains large enough to allow a loop of the intestine to poke down into the tunnel. Inguinal hernias do not improve on their own.
How can I tell if my son has an inguinal hernia?
You'll notice a firm, oblong lump about the size of your thumb either in your child's groin area or the scrotum. It may bulge out when he's active or crying, then disappear back into the abdomen when your child is relaxed.
What should I do about it?
If you think your child has an inguinal hernia, see his doctor. She will recommend a consultation with a pediatric surgeon, who will evaluate the hernia and probably recommend surgery. The surgery isn't usually an emergency, but it's necessary to repair the hernia because — although it's not harmful as is — the loop of intestine causing the lump could get caught at some point, cutting off that area's blood supply and permanently damaging the tissue.
If this happens, you'll notice that the lump has suddenly gotten larger, harder, or darker, and that you can't press it back through the abdominal wall. Your child may be in pain and vomiting. In this instance, take him to an emergency room right away, because the hernia needs immediate attention. Sometimes a doctor can reduce (push it back) manually (in which case she'll schedule the surgery for a later date). Other times, immediate surgery will be necessary.
What else could cause swelling in the testicles?
If a baby's testicles are swollen just after birth, it's most likely because of the extra fluid newborns carry or the extra dose of hormones he may have received from his mother just before birth. This swelling is harmless, and he'll flush the fluid out in his pee after a few days.
Another possibility is a hydrocele, which is a collection of fluid around the testicle from a small opening in the abdominal wall. About one in ten baby boys has a hydrocele at birth. Most of these go away before the baby's first birthday, but some require minor surgery to drain the fluid and repair the opening.
A hydrocele isn't painful, but if it gets large it can be uncomfortable, especially once a child becomes mobile. If you think your child has a hydrocele, point it out to his doctor.
Also take your child to the doctor right away if his scrotum is red, tender, and swollen, as these symptoms may signal other rare but serious conditions, such as testicular torsion (a twisting of the spermatic cord).

|Version 15 (modified by erikd, 7 years ago)
- A recent version of GHC.
Compiling DDC requires at least 6.12.1. We use a few GHC specific extensions, so it's unlikely to work with other Haskell compilers.
As of Feb 2010 the Haskell platform still hasn't been released, so if you're using 6.12.1 separately you'll need the following libraries. Later versions will probably work.cabal install mtl -p --reinstall cabal install QuickCheck-22.214.171.124 -p cabal install regex-base -p cabal install regex-posix -p cabal install regex-compat -p cabal install haskell-src -p
If you want to modify the lexer you will need the Alex lexer generator. If you don't modify the lexer you won't need to install this.cabal install alex
Alternatively, if you are on a Debian or Ubuntu based distribution and want to get the required packages via the apt-get package management system you can do so using:sudo apt-get install ghc6 alex libghc6-mtl-* libghc6-parsec3-* libghc6-regex-* libghc6-quickcheck2-* \ libghc6-haskell-src-* x11proto-xext-dev libx11-dev libxv-dev
- A recent version of GCC.
It's been tested with at least 4.0.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.1 and 4.3.1. Later versions will probably work. We compile C files with the -std=c99 option to GCC, so the code should be fairly portable. We haven't explicitly tested it with other compilers though.
- The graphical demos depend on libxv but most Linux distros, and Mac OSX already have this.
- Build the compiler, runtime system, external libraries and base libraries.
$ make
- As above, but also build source docs and run all the regression tests.
$ make total
More useful build targets are listed at the top of the Makefile

Four to join Albuquerque Baseball Hall
Ashley, Hough, Lagomarsino, Zahn to be inducted on July 20
By Albuquerque Isotopes | July 8, 2013 6:13 PM ET
Four men influential to the success of baseball in the Duke City will be inducted into the Albuquerque Professional Baseball Hall of Fame on July 20 as outfielder Billy Ashley and pitchers Charlie Hough, Steve Lagomarsino, and Geoff Zahn will make up the 2013 Class. The four were elected by the Albuquerque Professional Baseball Hall of Fame committee, consisting of baseball history experts throughout the city of Albuquerque.
The only outfielder among this year's inductees, Ashley played in 264 career games for the Dukes (1992-94, 1996) and posted a .309 batting average with 224 RBI over those seasons. Leading the Pacific Coast League in back-to-back years (1993, 1994) with 26 and 37 home runs, respectively, the power-hitting outfielder blasted 61 career homers as a Duke. He also received Topps Triple-A All-Star and PCL All-Star honors in 1993 and 1994, even being named Baseball America's Triple-A Player of the Year, the Los Angeles Dodgers' Minor League Player of the Year and the PCL Most Valuable Player in 1994.
Hough led the 1971 Albuquerque Dodgers with seven complete games and was second on the club with 113 strikeouts. The knuckleballer appeared in a team-high 58 games for the 1972 Dukes, was second on the squad with 14 saves and tied the team lead with 14 wins.
Lagomarsino appeared in 78 games (27 starts/328.0IP) for the Dukes in 1950-51, posting an 18-16 record. In addition to his time as a Duke in the West Texas-New Mexico League, Lagomarsino is best known for serving 26 years with the New Mexico State Police Department, having risen to the rank of Deputy Chief. He still resides in Albuquerque.
A member of the Double-A Dodgers (1969, 1971) and Triple-A Dukes (1972-73), Zahn compiled a 40-24 record with a 3.14 ERA in 87 career games for Albuquerque in the Texas League, Dixie Association and Pacific Coast League. He went 10-1 in 1972 record and led the team in winning percentage (.909) that season. In 1973, he went 13-8 with a 3.05 ERA with 12 complete games and 103 strikeouts. He recorded 29 complete games in 78 career starts for Albuquerque.
The Albuquerque Professional Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be part of the festivities surrounding Dukes Retro Night on Saturday, July 20 when the Isotopes take on the Omaha Storm Chasers at 7:05 pm. Hough, Lagomarsino, and Zahn are scheduled to be in Albuquerque for the pre-game ceremony while Ashley will accept his inductee via videotape. In addition to the Hall of Fame enshrinement, the Isotopes will be wearing special mustard-yellow throw-back Dukes jerseys against the Storm Chasers and the game will be followed by a fireworks extravaganza (weather permitting).

I would say stop me if you've heard this before, but then you'd quit reading! I'm talking, of course, about President Barack Obama's fiscal year 2014 budget proposal.
Most of the tax proposals in the president's latest version (released April 10) of how he would like to finance our country's operations are the same items he's proposed previously, both in earlier budgets as well as in other fiscal fights with Congress.
Warren Buffett rule returns
We have the return of the so-called Buffett rule. You remember that idea, prompted by billionaire financier Warren Buffett's attention-getting revelation that he pays a lower overall tax rate than his secretary because most of his income comes from lower-taxed capital gains earnings.
Although the capital gains rate was increased from 15 percent to 20 percent for higher income earners under the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, Obama still wants wealthier taxpayers, specifically millionaires, to pay more.
Under his new budget, a minimum 30 percent tax would be phased in for taxpayers making more than $1 million. Oh, and it has a new name. Buffett is off the hook; Obama is calling this the Fair Share Tax.
Reduced itemized deductions
Another American Taxpayer Relief Act provision, the reduction of itemized deductions by wealthier taxpayers, also gets tweaked in Obama's latest budget.
Under the current law, higher income taxpayers (those with adjusted gross incomes, or AGI, of more than $250,000 if single, $300,000 if married filing jointly) must reduce their itemized deductions by 3 percent of the amount over their AGI limits. There are worksheets for all this, but when all's calculated, itemized deductions can't be reduced by more than 20 percent.
Obama, however, is once again calling for a cap at 28 percent of the value of itemized deductions, such as mortgage interest, and specified exclusions, such as municipal bond interest. This would mean that a taxpayer in the top 39.6 percent tax bracket with a $10,000 itemized deduction would be able to claim only a $2,800 deduction instead of $3,960. He's also lowered the AGI limits to which this limit would apply.
Estate tax resurrection
The president also wants to change the estate tax rules -- which currently calls for an exemption for estates worth $5.25 million (that's the 2013 amount; it's indexed annually for inflation) or less and a 40 percent tax rate -- made permanent as part of American Taxpayer Relief Act. Obama's budget calls for dropping the exemption amount to $3.5 million and raising the tax rate to 45 percent.
Will we go back to the future in these tax areas? Not likely.
Obama's tax proposals must compete with those in the budgets already approved by the Democratic Senate and Republican House.
But at least we now have all three parts of the fiscal year 2014 budget puzzle. We'll just have to wait to see how Congress and the White House can put them together to form a cohesive financial picture.

Fairview officer shoots at driver
Just after midnight Monday a Fairview Police Officer attempted a traffic stop near NE 223rd and NW Townsend Way. The driver fled. The vehicle continued north bound on NE 223RD Avenue reaching speeds in excess of 70 miles per hour. At one point, the vehicle came to a dead end road on NE 223rd Avenue and Marine Drive. The driver of the vehicle drove his car directly at the officer as he attempted to stop the vehicle. The officer fired his duty weapon at the vehicle to avoid being struck by the vehicle. None of the bullet rounds struck the vehicle. The officer was not injured during the incident.
The vehicle then continued south bound on NE 223rd Avenue traveling recklessly. Other officers from surrounding agencies assisted in the pursuit of the suspect vehicle. Officers discontinued the pursuit as the vehicle continued to drive reckless on NE 223rd north of NE Sandy Blvd. The suspect driver proceeded to make a left turn from south bound NE 223rd Avenue to east bound NE Sandy Blvd. The driver of the suspect vehicle lost control of the vehicle during this turning movement and struck a Multnomah County Sheriff Deputies marked patrol car at the intersection. A Sheriff Deputy was injured as a result of the crash. The Sheriff Deputy is currently being treated for non life threatening injuries he sustained in the crash. The suspect driver was not injured; however the female adult passenger in the car was seriously injured. She is currently being treated for the injuries she sustained during the crash. It is unknown at this time what the extent of her injuries is going to be. The suspect driver in this incident was taken into custody for traffic related felony offenses. Further investigation is pending
The East Multnomah County Major Crimes Team and East Multnomah County Vehicle Crash Team are currently investigating the incident. The identity of the people involved in this incident has not been released at this time. Their identities will be released at the conclusion of this investigation.

SOURIS — Paula Chaisson has a very good story, one that her late musician father might have even written a song about.
It's not every day a tree comes out of nowhere and falls on your vehicle; especially one felled by Canada's national symbol and, in this case, a very criminally responsible rodent.
The daughter of the late singer/songwriter Lemmie Chaisson was heading to the beach Saturday afternoon with husband J.F. Goulet and children Sophia and Felix when they saw a tree swaying ahead of them along Route 2 near Priest Pond.
"We were heading to Campbell's Cove to meet friends and go swimming,'' she said Tuesday. "We were following a friend and the tree came down towards them like the wind had taken it."
But there was no such time for the Chaisson family, who live in Montreal, to cry "timber" and they watched helplessly while the tree came down and hit their Rav 4.
It struck the passenger side windshield then rolled over the top of their vehicle, taking out the cargo box and roof rack and then rolled off the back.
"It happened so fast we didn't even know what was going on," she told The Guardian.
"I had no idea beavers would take down trees so close to the road."
No one was hurt but their vehicle needs some extensive body work. They don't believe they were targeted by the rogue rodent, but the RCMP has yet to determine if the malicious mammal was a malcontent.
"We have insurance and we're waiting for parts, but I'm glad I'm not an actual tourist,'' said Chaisson, now staying with family in Rollo Bay.
"There isn't a single car for rent on the entire Island right now."

But here in central Mexico, in the state of Michoacán, the holiday appeared to take on special significance.
But Mexico and the United States need to transform instead of simply "deepen" their relationship.
From 2005 to the end of 2013—eight years—only two U.S. governors visited Mexico.
But Mexico could never keep up to the smooth as silk South Americans.
In the script, the cheetahs drift from their owner and roam suburban Mexico unattended.
He had ascertained, beyond all question, that it emptied its flood into the Gulf of Mexico.
We know more about the feathered tribes than the mammalia of Mexico.
Anciently, it had been to Europe what cotton was to the Mexico of the Aztecs.
Upon being consulted on this question, it appeared that they had obtained them through the Spaniards in Florida and Mexico.
Her young sailor had picked up the bird at Vera Cruz in Mexico.
from Spanish, from Nahuatl (Aztecan) mexihco, the name of the ancient Aztec capital.
The etymology of this is opaque. Because of the difference in vowel length, it cannot be derived from ME-TL 'maguey.' The sequence XIH also differs in vowel length from XIC-TLI 'navel,' which has been proposed as a component element. The final element is locative -C(O). [Kartunnen]
Republic in southern North America, bordered by the United States to the north, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea to the east, Belize and Guatemala to the southeast, and the Pacific Ocean to the south and west. Its capital and largest city is Mexico City.
Note: The world's most populous Spanish-speaking country.
Note: Mexico has a significantly high foreign debt. Its land is rich, but much of it is difficult to cultivate. Despite the prosperity of its oil industry, Mexico's economic troubles are severe.
Note: Many Mexicans cross the Mexican-American border illegally in hopes of finding work in the United States.
Note: Mexico's proximity to the United States has led to serious territorial disputes; the immediate cause of the Mexican War of the 1840s was the annexation of Texas by the United States.
Note: Mexico became independent from Spain in 1821.
Note: Before the arrival of the Spanish in the early sixteenth century, great Native American civilizations, such as the Mayas and the Aztecs, thrived.
Note: In 1994, Mexico joined the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Note: From 1929 until the late 1990s, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) dominated Mexican politics, winning most elections by a combination of popular appeal, corruption, and the liberal distribution of public jobs. In 2000, for the first time, a candidate of a rival party won Mexico's presidency.

The Back-To-Work Guilt Trip
The reality of being a full-time working mom was like diving into a cold pool. You can't prepare for it. The exhilaration of that first week quickly gave way to a deep, numbing ache for the former days with my baby. Leisurely midday grocery-shopping trips were replaced by harried evening trips with a cranky baby in the cart. No more baby yoga, peaceful afternoons at the park, reading The New Yorker while Ruby napped on my chest, or walks around the lake with the moms from my birth class.
I missed my baby.
I was also worried about her. Although she seemed to be doing well, it didn't seem right that she spent the better part of each waking day with someone other than me. Maybe I would have felt differently if she'd been home with her dad, or a grandparent, but that wasn't an option. Brian's parents lived in Detroit, thousands of miles away. My parents were even farther away—my mother in upstate New York, my dad and stepmother in Connecticut. I was still getting to know Thania, and while I trusted her, she wasn't family. When I added up the hours that Ruby was at Thania's, the number shocked me. I half expected a social worker to knock on my door. Ma'am, we hear your baby is in day care 45 hours a week . . .
"Keep in mind, hon, you and I are amateurs," Brian said. "Thania's a professional."
He was right. Thania had more experience with children than I did—she'd read more books, she'd taken more classes, and she had two kids of her own—but that wasn't the point. Mothers are supposed to be with their babies, I thought. How could I be sure that Ruby was bonding with me the way she was supposed to? What if she didn't know how much I loved her? Was it really okay to be away from her so much?
I searched the Internet at night, when Ruby was asleep in her crib, looking for answers. What I read only made me more confused.
Some studies said that full-time day care could lead to psychological problems for a small percentage of children later in life, while other studies found that the effects of day care were negligible. Around the time I started the job at Dogstar, CBS ran a story called "The Negative Effects of Child Care?" about new research that showed longer stays in day care led to aggressive behavior later for some children. This could happen even if they were in high-quality care. The key to avoiding these behavior problems, one study concluded, was the mother: "The sensitivity of the mother could offset those negative effects."
In other words, it was up to me—and only me—to make it all right that Ruby was in day care all day. No mention of the father's role. I had already suspected this; now I had scientific proof. It was as if someone had just squirted an entire can of lighter fluid over the flames of my guilt.
So I did what I assumed any good mother would do in my situation: I tried to compensate for the time I was at work by devoting every extra moment to my daughter. I gave up exercise. I gave up seeing friends on the weekends. I continued to sacrifice sleep. At night, after Ruby was safely tucked in her crib, and before I started in on the laundry, I steamed and mashed and jarred fresh organic vegetables for her lunch the next day.
"You know they sell organic baby food now," Brian chided meone evening as I scraped puréed carrots from the blender with a tablespoon.
"You don't have to do all this."
"I want to do it," I said stubbornly.
This was not entirely true. The truth was, my back ached from sitting at the computer and bending over a nursing baby, and I longed to collapse into bed. But the food I made—more nutritious than anything I could buy—was a way to care for Ruby when I wasn't with her.
When Ruby woke up to nurse at 1:00 or 2:00 am, I continued to bring her to bed and keep her with us until morning. I wanted to squeeze in every extra opportunity for togetherness.
"When do you want to talk about sleep training?" Brian asked groggily one morning as he filled the kettle from the kitchen sink.
I felt myself tense up immediately. Sleep training, in my mind,was a nice, clinical term for "Let your baby cry alone in her crib." It was bad enough that I had abandoned my baby during the day. Now I was supposed to be away from her at night, too? I dismissedthe idea with a frown and a vigorous shake of my head. "She's too little still."
Technically, this wasn't entirely true. According to a book some friends had given us, Ruby had surpassed the "magic weight" of 11 pounds, which meant her body didn't need a nighttime feeding. Physically she was capable of sleeping through the night. Brian knew this. After all, he told me that Martha was only four months old when she started sleeping through the night in her own crib. But Brian knew how bad I felt about being away from Ruby. Out of kindness,he let the subject drop. For a week.
"Hon, you can't keep bringing her to bed," Brian rubbed his eyes and slumped against the kitchen counter one morning. "We've got to start sleeping better."
I poured boiling water into the coffee filter over my mug, too tired to respond.
"Katrina, are you listening to me?"
"Yes, but I don't want to," I sighed. "Stop bringing her to bed, I mean." I breathed in the steamy aroma of Italian roast, willing the caffeine to enter my nose and go directly to my brain.
If I'd been thinking clearly, I would have seen that Brian and I both desperately needed to sleep, by any means necessary. If I'd been thinking clearly, I would have seen that the only way to function was to give up the thing I cherished. But sleep deprivationis a circular problem. I wasn't thinking clearly because I desperately needed to sleep.
"Look at you!" Brian snapped.
I jumped, startled at the abrupt anger in his voice.
"You have circles under your eyes. You've only been at this job for a month and you're running yourself ragged!"
"Thanks." I narrowed my eyes at him. "I really needed to hear how shitty I look."
"You know what I mean," Brian said, his voice softening. "I'm just worried about you." He put his hand on my arm, but I shrugged it away.
I had a feeling he was right—we had to do something—but I was so tightly cocooned in my own guilt, I had no room for compassion or understanding, neither his nor my own. The only other feeling I had room for was rage. How could Brian possibly understand what this was like? I fumed silently. He was the dad. The bar was so low for dads. Dads were like clowns at the party. Show up, make everyone laugh, take a bow, then disappear before the mess had to be cleaned up.
This wasn't fair, of course. Brian worked hard, too. He just knew his limits, and he didn't obsess over what he couldn't do. Once a week, he took a night off to see a movie or hang out at a sports bar with a friend. He didn't feel bad about it. And maybe that's what pissed meoff. Because while I could have done those things, I couldn't have enjoyed them. Meanwhile, no matter what I did or didn't do, it seemed as if every day I was failing my child.
"Sugar, you're not taking any time for yourself. You need to take care of yourself . . . Go to a yoga class tonight. I'll watch Ruby."
"I don't want to be away from my baby." My voice came out lowand quiet, almost a growl. To my own ears I sounded like some wild woodland creature.
"Listen, I know it's different for me . . . I have Martha . . ." Brian continued in his conciliatory voice. "Ruby's your first. You worry more with the first one. But you don't have to do everything perf—"
Yep. He had already been through this before. And that was part of what I was pissed about. He wasn't worried about Ruby. I was alone.
"Shut up!" I snarled. "I don't need your f--king advice."
I looked straight into his eyes as I said that, and immediately wished I could take it back. Brian has the kindest brown Croatian eyes, which turn down at the outer corners. He stands a good six inches taller than me, and most of the time, he's like a big, strong, warm teddy bear. But when he's angry, he resembles something closer to a big, strong, actual bear, and although he has never inflicted harm on a creature larger than a house spider, the physical display of his anger always takes me aback. It took about a millisecond for this transformation to take place. Suddenly, I was staring up into hard, cold eyes.
"Fine. F--k you, too!" Brian roared, slamming his mug down and sloshing coffee on the counter.
Ruby, propped up in her high chair, started to cry. Brian stalked out of the kitchen.
And so, in the fine tradition of exhausted, guilt-ridden mothers everywhere, I had alienated the person I most depended on—my husband—and upset the person I most wanted to protect—my child. And all it took was one stupid remark. I was becoming quite efficient.

Celeb Chef Wolfgang Puck Shares Post-Oscars Governors Ball Menu
Photo: Getty Images
By Sierra Marquina
Celebrity chef and restaurant owner Wolfgang Puck is set to serve the stars for the 20th year after the Oscars at the Governors Ball this Sunday.
And this time, the menu ranges from vegan dishes to comfort foods, and of course, those little Oscar statue-shaped treats.
"The host of the show is vegan. Ellen [DeGeneres] is a vegan, so we added more vegan dishes," Wolfgang shares of this year's spread when he called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest.
Some of those vegan dishes include cauliflower chips, carrot and orange gazpacho, and a tomato salad. "But the main thing," the chef adds, "is people are hungry and they want comfort foods."
So he's planning on serving a wide variety of feel-good dishes like pasta appetizers, tuna tartare in sesame cones, mini burgers, smoked salmon Oscars, and lobster and shrimp dumplings.
Wolfgang also says he serves everything in small portions so you can taste a bunch of different things, including the chicken pot pie!
Catch the 86th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday, March 2, on ABC at 5:30pm.

Those who conveyed Allah's Message and had fear [and awareness] of Him, fearing no one except Allah. Allah suffices as a Reckoner. (Surat al-Ahzab, 33:39)
Allah creates us and forms each one of us in our mother's womb with such great care that all of us are unique beings. While we are unconscious and still gestating, Allah protects and feeds us. Those nine months spent in the mother's womb is utterly a dark period, for no one knows all of the miraculous events that occur during that time. Only Allah knows these events, for He knows each person from the moment he or she was a single cell until the moment of his or her death.
Allah witnesses and remembers each person's deeds and thoughts, for He controls both the inner thoughts and the outer deeds. In brief, He controls everyone's spirit.
People forget their acts and words, and their experiences become dim memories. For example, something that happened a decade ago often seems meaningless. It is as if a major part of our past experiences have been deleted. But on the Day of Judgment, Allah will cause us to confront all of our good and evil deeds. Thus, we need to remember that He is with us all the time. Allah informs us about His name the Reckoner in the following verses:
Then they are turned to Allah, their Master, the Real. Jurisdiction belongs to Him alone and He is the Swiftest of Reckoners. (Surat al-An'am, 6:62)
2009-08-18 23:38:24
Keep a close check on orphans until they reach a marriageable age. Then, if you perceive that they have sound judgment, hand over their property to them. Do not consume it extravagantly and precipitately before they come of age. Those who are wealthy should abstain from it altogether. Those who are poor should use it sensibly and correctly. When you hand over their property to them, ensure that there are witnesses on their behalf. Allah suffices as a Reckoner. (Surat an-Nisa', 4:6)

This is a little bit basic for a HowTo thread, but OK...
this is just a little script to run fasttrack from your desktop it will ask you for the ip that you want to test, anyways I thought I would share. greetings from Indy
Code:#!/bin/bash echo "please type target ip:" read ip cd /pentest/exploits/fasttrack ./fast-track.py -c 2 $ip -r
Last edited by lupin; 06-21-2010 at 11:41 PM. Reason: Added CODE box
This is a little bit basic for a HowTo thread, but OK...
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
yes, as my title said " it is a little script " but I thought some new people will find it useful.
found better dude
search for fasttrack interactive in BT menu right clic and add to desktop
are u sure to add this topic on how to section ?
Ah c'mon guys it's his second post here just keep in mind that this kind of things can go in the beginners section, here in How-to we add more advanced tutorials
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
Not a very high quality or in-depth tutorial.
Why even use the cd command?
This would probably be a better script to use, it will open fasttrack in a interactive mode which can be easily run from the desktop.
Code:#!/bin/bash /pentest/exploits/fasttrack/./fasttrack.py -i

Robert Kirby is on vacation. This is a reprint of an earlier column.
People who call The Tribune to yell at me are disappointed. They can never get me on the phone. I work at home.
About 50 million Americans commute to their place of work via the Internet. That's a bunch of people who aren't adding themselves to the gridlock because we can stay home and work in our underwear.
People who drive to work are envious. But they only feel that way because commuting is emotionally and financially costly, and because they've never had to work at home before. It isn't all Fruit of the Loom and video games.
This isn't my first home job. I worked at home a lot when I was a cop. People would see the police car in the driveway and ring my doorbell at miserable times.
"Sorry to interrupt your shower, officer, but I got my brother-in-law in the car. He's drunk and has a gun. Could you put on some pants and give him a good talking to?"
Once, a guy rang my doorbell at 6 a.m. to ask if it was legal to hunt jack rabbits with a club. I almost put some overtime right between his ears.
I don't have people stopping by the house with extra work now, but that doesn't mean I don't get interrupted. There are still major drawbacks to working at home.
If you are considering the possibility of a home job either because you can't afford to commute or because you've been laid off and haven't told your wife you might want to give it a second think.
The average commuting American believes or strongly suspects that their immediate supervisor is a nitwit. I have worked for several and currently work for the biggest one yet. Me.
You have to be your own boss at home. There's no one standing over you saying, "It's 10:30. Where the hell have you been?"
Worse, there's no one to lie to about it. Go ahead. Try telling yourself you're late because you stopped to help rescue some orphans from a fire.
The standard business attire at home is hopelessly relaxed even by slob journalist standards. Currently, it is a T-shirt, baseball hat, flip-flops and BYU sweatpants worn for the fifth day in a row.
Correspondingly, you have to clean up after yourself in a home office. If your work space starts smelling like a truck stop rest room, there's no one else to blame it on.
A major drawback of a home job is the complete lack of opportunity to steal office supplies. You have to watch this one. The first year working at home, I stole myself into the red out of force of habit.
Thanks to the Internet, it is still possible to have a home office romance. It's not quite the same, though. There's no real physical contact unless you count getting slammed in the head with a toaster if your main co-worker finds out about it.
The interruptions at home are harder to duck than in a real office. You can blow off a meeting with your supervisor there.
But it's utterly impossible to tell a 4-year-old redhead that you can't take an hour and help him hit ants with a hammer.

GSA Design Awards Ceremony: Justice O'Connor is Keynote Speaker
March 26, 2001

GSA Design Awards Ceremony:
Justice O'Connor is Keynote Speaker
WASHINGTON, DC - The new Sandra Day O'Connor U.S. Courthouse in Phoenix, along with Federal courthouses in Central Islip, N.Y., and Las Vegas, all built by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), have won three of the 18 GSA Design Awards that will be presented at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Thursday, March 29, 2 p.m.
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor of the U.S. Supreme Court will deliver the keynote speech at the ceremony.
"The Design Awards provide a wonderful opportunity for GSA to shine a spotlight on the many talented firms and people who are making significant contributions to what the Federal government designs and builds," said GSA's Acting Administrator Thurman M. Davis Sr."The 2000 Design Awards recognize outstanding projects in 17 states. But, the caliber and breadth of the entries we received tells us that the lives of citizens from every geographic region of the country are being enriched in some way by the work of all the design professionals, hired by GSA."
In 2000, GSA added two categories, construction excellence and security and openness, to the traditional list, which includes architecture, architecture on-the-boards, engineering/technology/energy, landscape architecture, preservation/conservation, art and graphic design.
Architect Charles Gwathmey of New York City chaired the jury of private-sector design and construction professionals who selected this year's honorees.
The 2000 Design Awards ceremony marks the 10th anniversary of the biennial awards and includes the first projects completed under GSA's Design Excellence Program. Since 1994, the Design Excellence Program has made substantive changes to GSA's selection process for architects, engineers, and other professionals who design and build Federal courthouses, office buildings, laboratories, and border stations. The resulting projects reflect some of the best civic architecture in the United States.
Jurors for the 2000 Design Awards included David Driskell, Hyattsville, Md.; Julie Eizenberg, Santa Monica, Calif.; Samuel Y. Harris, Philadelphia; Douglas Kelbaugh, Ann Arbor, Mich.; Debra Lehman-Smith, Washington, D.C.; Guy Nordenson, New York; Kiku Obata, St. Louis, and Michael Rotondi, Los Angeles. Construction Excellence jurors were Kenneth Grunley of Rockville, Md., and Joseph Lawton of Arlington, Va. There were 145 Design Awards entries.
Sandra Day O'Connor U.S. Courthouse, Phoenix: Richard Meier, Richard Meier & Partners, Architects. Jury Comment: "In the tradition of place making, inspirational spaces, and memorable architectural experiences, this building is exemplary. It is a visionary civic achievement that engenders both wonder and respect." (Architecture Award)
Lloyd D. George U.S. Courthouse, Las Vegas: Mehrdad Yazdani, CannonDworsky. Jury Comment: "It is surprising to find such urbanity and such elegant restraint in Las Vegas. The giant articulated column is a powerful totem that will no doubt become the courthouse's signature in a city of signs and symbols." (Architecture Award)
U.S. Courthouse and Federal Building, Central Islip, N Y.: Richard Meier, Richard Meier & Partners, Architects. Jury Comment: "This courthouse has the visual intelligence of the finest contemporary architecture; yet it embodies the genetic code of significant historical buildings. The light-filled, grand public spaces of the interior openly welcome you to a place where important human matters are deliberated." (Architecture Award)
U. S. Geological Survey Chiller Replacement, Reston, Va.: J. Vicente Pedraza, JVP Engineers, P.C. Jury Comment: "The professionals and the owner are commended, firstly, for their willingness to question the need for replacement and, secondly and more nobly, to go about answering the question in a thoroughly unbiased and rigorous manner. This award is as much for the integrity of the parties as it is for the ingenuity of the solution." (Engineering/Technology/Energy Award
Jurisprudents, at Melvin Price U.S. Courthouse, East St. Louis, Illinois: Ralph Helmick, Stuart Schechter, Helmick & Schechter Sculpture. Jury Comment: "The notion of jurors conferring with one another makes the work an even more inventive, creative statement, one that speaks to the environment of a courthouse that invites discourse among the citizenry. The design of the sculpture complements a modernist building with classical origins." (Art Award)
Charles Evans Whittaker U.S. Courthouse, Kansas City, Mo.: Steve Hamline, J.E. Dunn Construction. Jury Comment: "Exceptional craftsmanship throughout considering the complex and highly stylized detailing of stonework, millwork, and terrazzo." (Construction Excellence Award)
U.S. Port of Entry, Blaine, Wash.; Derek Wright, Intermountain Construction, Inc. Jury Comment: "Completed ahead of schedule and under budget with an innovative use of simple materials and an extraordinary problem-solving partnership on-site." (Construction Excellence Award)

Alcohol and pregnancyDrinking alcohol during pregnancy
Pregnant women are strongly urged not to drink alcohol during pregnancy.
Drinking alcohol while you are pregnant has been shown to cause harm to a baby inside the womb and may lead to long-term medical problems in the child after birth.
When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, the alcohol travels through her blood and into the baby's blood, tissues, and organs.That means when a pregnant mom has a glass of wine, her baby has a glass of wine, too.
Drinking alcohol can harm the baby's development. Alcohol breaks down much more slowly in the baby's body than in an adult. That means the baby's blood alcohol level remains increased longer than the mother's. This is very dangerous, and can sometimes lead to lifelong damage.
Dangers of Alcohol During Pregnancy
Drinking a lot of alcohol during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol syndrome in the baby. Fetal alcohol syndrome refers to a group of birth defects found in children born to mothers who drink too much alcohol. Symptoms can include:
- Behavior and attention problems
- Heart defects
- Changes in the shape of the face
- Poor growth before and after birth
- Poor muscle tone and problems with movement and balance
- Problems with thinking and speech
- Learning problems
These medical problems are lifelong and can range from mild to severe.
Complications seen in the infant may include:
- Cerebral palsy
- Premature delivery
- Miscarriage or stillbirth
How Much Alcohol is Dangerous?
There is no known "safe" amount of alcohol use during pregnancy. Alcohol use appears to be the most harmful during the first 3 months of pregnancy; however, drinking alcohol anytime during pregnancy can be harmful.
Alcohol includes beer, wine, wine coolers, and liquor.
One drink is defined as:
- 12 oz of beer
- 5 oz of wine
- 1.5 oz of liquor
How much you drink is just as important as how often you drink.
- Even if you don't drink often, drinking a large amount at one time can be quite harmful to the baby.
- Binge drinking (5 or more drinks on one occasion) greatly increases a baby's risk of alcohol-related damage.
- Drinking moderate amounts of alcohol when pregnant may lead to miscarriage.
- Heavy drinkers (those who drink more than 2 alcoholic beverages a day) are at greater risk of giving birth to a child with fetal alcohol syndrome.
- The more you drink, the more you raise your baby's risk for harm.
Do Not Drink During Pregnancy
Women who are pregnant or who are trying to get pregnant should avoid drinking any amount of alcohol. The only way to prevent fetal alcohol syndrome is to not drink alcohol during pregnancy.
If you did not know you were pregnant and drank alcohol, stop drinking as soon as you find out. While it is unlikely that the occasional drink you took before finding out you were pregnant will harm your baby, the sooner you stop drinking alcohol, the healthier your baby will be.
Try replacing alcoholic drinks with their nonalcoholic counterparts: for example, you might opt for a nonalcoholic pina colada instead of the real thing.
If you cannot control your drinking, avoid eating or drinking around people who are drinking alcohol.
Pregnant women with alcoholism should join an alcohol abuse rehabilitation program and be checked closely by a health care provider throughout pregnancy.

Flooding on East Side of Cleveland
Several local residents are going through another round of flooding after storms rolled into our area Friday night. Many of them had just finally cleaned up after last week's storms and are now going through it all over again.
In Willowick, some residents there had a foot of water in their basement. Many who live blocks from the lake are throwing out couches, televisions and other belongings. Mayor Richard Bond helped residents clean up today.

We all know that light in a work shop is a must have. This Magnetic work light from Delta is great. The 14" arm is great and being that the arm is metal it will stay in place for a life time. Boy did Delta not go cheap on the magnet. That sucker is strong. Anything that's metal it will light your work area up. This is a great work light for Delta's bandsaws. This light will make sure your always on the line. I have a couple of these on my Delta/Rockwell machines. A great add on.
If you are a DIY, or Professional this lamp is must have.

This infuriated his grandfather, who cursed Barry and never spoke to him again.
Who wouldn't want to work with Patti LaBelle, Barry White, or Quincy Jones?
Barry famously spent six months in federal prison 22 years ago on a cocaine-possession conviction.
His outrageous comments, though, are more symptomatic of the outrageous person Barry is.
In New Zealand, Barry Manilow records were blasted throughout a local mall to drive away loitering punks.
All these things Barry took in with quick professional perception.
Barry Watson leaned forward and pointed down and to the right.
They saw Barry bend low; they saw the stallion increase its pace.
What Captain Barry had in mind, Rowland was too weak to inquire.
Mrs. Barry was silent for several moments, during which the talk of the men ran on.

SAN BERNARDINO -- The then-head of San Bernardino's Economic Development Agency signed a six-year, $11-million agreement with a local company without the knowledge or approval of elected officials, City Attorney James F. Penman said during Monday's City Council meeting.
A copy of the agreement bears the signature of Executive Director Emil Marzullo and is dated April 25, 2010, for San Bernardino-based Theatrical Arts International to run the California Theatre and Sturges Center for the Fine Arts until 2016.
"Council members, the mayor and the mayor's chief of staff have all said they never saw this contract," Penman said. "We certainly never would have approved it if we had seen it, because it's a very bad agreement. "
Marzullo said Tuesday that the document was a draft and was not submitted for approval because it wasn't ready for approval. Instead, he said, the company has operated under verbal modifications to the previous contract since it expired.
He accused Penman of misleading and playing politics based on a dislike of Mayor Pat Morris and the theater complex.
"If it was a final draft, it wouldn't have my initials on the bottom of every page," Marzullo said. "(Penman) should know that. For him to say otherwise, he's either a liar or an idiot. "
Penman said a draft should say "draft," while signatures indicate a final agreement.
The head of TAI said he was under the impression the agreement was official until 2012, when they brought up the contract with then-Acting City Manager Andrea Travis-Miller and she said it hadn't been approved.
And the contract was followed, at least until the city filed for bankruptcy in August, said TAI President Joseph Henson.
The board would have approved an annual EDA budget that included payment for California Theatre and the Sturges Center.
Henson said he has no quarrels with anyone from the city.
"Everybody that we work with over there at the city, we have a great working relationship with them," he said. "The California Theatre is doing very well. "
City Council members and Morris - those who would normally approve any contract, with the exception of two council members who came into office since 2010 - did not immediately respond after Penman spoke. Morris did not return a call Tuesday.
The EDA signed several agreements with TAI over the years, with the most recent amendment extending the term from 2006 through April 30, 2010.
That contract says TAI and the EDA director will develop a budget each fiscal year. By contrast, the 2010 document says the combined budgets for the theater and Sturges Center will be $5.6 million for the term of six years - which could be interpreted as either $5.6 million total or $34 million total.
"It's bad because it's ambiguous," Penman said.
Around the time the previous contract expired, the city transferred EDA properties to a nonprofit corporation called the Economic Development Corporation to avoid Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to force their sale as part of a statewide abolition of redevelopment agencies.
"It was a chaotic time," Marzullo said, to explain why a contract wasn't given to the board for approval when the prior one expired.
More worrying, Penman said, is that the council acting as the EDA board should have voted on the contract. The late discovery throws into question what other liabilities might be connected to the $108 million in properties that the city has been ordered to accept.
State Controller John Chiang said the city's transfer to the EDC was invalid and the city must accept the properties back so they can be sold off.
That should be delayed until it's clear what baggage comes with the properties, which Marzullo was in charge of as executive director of the EDC until his position was dissolved, Penman said.
"The reason the council has not accepted the transfers back to the city and more importantly has not accepted the liability is the council does not know how many of these documents may exist," Penman said. "We've learned from this $11 million contract alone that the fact that we don't find any contract doesn't mean it's not there. "
A search of EDA records for a copy of the contract or others that might not be known continues, Penman said, adding that the decision about whether to accept the properties - which also carry $2.9 million in unpaid taxes, interest and fees that is building - prompted him to mention the contract Monday.
The council voted Monday to again delay accepting the properties.

I am currently setting up a lab and building a few testing tools, one of which is a box running KISMET and a few custom scripts.
I haven't had a chance to take a look at the config files in a while, but I know I can assign an adapter to collect only only on channel 1 - for example.
Instead of sweeping through the channels and possibly missing out on packets, I'd like to purchase several USB adapters and dedicate them to each channel, to include those in the 5Ghz range.
I am just not entirely sure how many I will need, primarily because of frequency overlaps between the WiFi Channels in the 2.4 Ghz range. Each channel is burstable up to 20 Mhz if I am not mistaken and wasn't sure if I'd need 11+ adapters to collect on each channels.
What do you guys think?
I imagine with my lab APs transmitting at max capacity/BW this machine would be collecting massive amounts of traffic in which I'd probably have to get an SSD to minimize heat, etc. What are your thoughts? Would one powered USB 2.0 HUB be able to handle this amount of traffic? Even better, would the back plane on the CPU board be able to do this and parse all data out to the .pcap files?
How many adapters will kismet support during one session? Would I have to start each session independently, or can I run one instance of KISMET to collect on all adapters?
Any suggestions/thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance all.

Data Collaborative Taps Predictive Analytics to Coordinate Care
Four geographically disparate health systems are banding together to redesign clinical care based on data to solve population health challenges such as preventable readmissions.
Name the technology, and unless it's a da Vinci robot or some other clinical whiz-bang item, hospitals and health systems are constantly criticized for being behind the curve. That's partially because it's been true. Hospitals and health systems have historically resisted investment in technology that would help make coordinate care better.
They've never had to, because their reimbursement didn't depend on it. But that's changing. Rapidly.
Until several years ago, medical records were still largely based on paper—never mind something as innovative as redesigning clinical care based on data. Real-time interventions based on predictive analytics seemed as unattainable as world peace.
But four members of the Premier healthcare alliance, with the help of IBM, are looking to change that with Wednesday's announcement of the formation of the Data Alliance Collaborative.
Texas Health, Fairview Health Services, Catholic Health Partners, and Carolinas HealthCare System, along with IBM, are the founding partners of the data collaborative, which is billed as the first of its kind in healthcare.

Mr. Howbridge got up from his chair and advanced to meet the backwoodsman with hospitable hand.
The mode of securing him was suggested by Stanfield, the backwoodsman: it was simple and safe.
It was the voice of Peter Day, the backwoodsman who had agreed to take care of Arbuckle during his illness.
The central figures were Reuben (a backwoodsman), and Dorothy, his adopted daughter.
Every backwoodsman carries on all occasions, the means of furnishing his meat.
He went about as a backwoodsman naturally does, without posturing or swagger.
Thus, it will be seen that March Marston was quite a learned youth for a backwoodsman, besides being a hero and a "madman."
"He insisted on taking a walk to-day," explained the backwoodsman.
The backwoodsman spat contemplatively, and rolled the question over in his mind.
But in the sort of backwoodsman he had been there was such stuff as renegades were made of.

Three-peat, MacNeil earns SAC Player of the Week honors againApril 11, 2012
Men's Tennis sophomore becomes first three-time winner in BC history
Rock Hill, S.C. - For the second consecutive week and third time this season, Brevard College's Sam MacNeil has been named the South Atlantic Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Wednesday afternoon.
MacNeil continued his stretch of undefeated play in the SAC this season, topping opponents from Catawba, Mars Hill, Lincoln Memorial and Tusculum in singles play, while combining with Beau Wills to remain undefeated in doubles play as the sophomore from Dunfermline, Scotland improves to 16-0 overall in the SAC in the season.
MacNeil topped the no. 1s from Catawba and Mars Hill in straight sets, defeating Catawba's Alex Macdonald 7-5, 6-2, and topped Mars Hill's Euquerio Guerrero 6-4, 6-4. MacNeil then defeated the 2011 SAC Player of the Year Philipp Hoffman in three sets, 6-4, 2-6, 6-2, and capped off his week with a 6-1 set victory over Tusculum's Lukas Winkelmann, before the Pioneer athlete had to retire.
In doubles play, MacNeil and Wills remain undefeated on the year, giving Brevard points at the no. 1 pairing in defeating their opponents from Catawba 8-4, Mars Hill 9-8, Lincoln Memorial 8-3 and Tusculum 8-4 as the Tornados duo improves to 8-0 on the season on court no. 1.
MacNeil is a three-time winner of the SAC Men's Tennis Athlete of the Week, and is a Preseason All-SAC First Team selection. He is currently 15-6, 8-0 in the SAC in singles play, and has teamed up with Wills to go 17-4, 8-0 in the conference in doubles on the season.
The Brevard College men's tennis team finishes up the 2012 regular season on Friday, April 13th, as the Tornados travel to Newberry, S.C. to take on Newberry College. First serve between the Tornados and the Wolves in doubles competition is set for 2 p.m.

The Stockpickr ToolKit, part I - 13794 views
Stockpickr started off as a tool for us to help our trading. We wanted a way to quickly see what the best hedge funds were in, and then what companies were potentially related to those stocks so we can have a number of ways to piggyback the best investors. We then kept expanding the functionality, depending on what we were interested in for our own trading and research, and finally decided to open it up to everyone, with the idea being that the more people involved in the sharing of ideas, the better the ideas will be. Here is part I of the ways in which Stockpickr can currently help come up with good trading and investing ideas.
When you enter in your portfolio of stocks we look for portfolios that are related to yours. We look for Pro portfolios (the portfolios of the top hedge funds and mutual funds), top-rated portfolios, most viewed portfolios, recently added portfolios, etc. Then, based on portfolios related to yours, and various other criteria, we come up with a blended set of 5 recommendations ranging from conservative to speculative.
Browsing Pro Portfolios:
Using a dozen or so databases, both public and proprietary, we've come up with the top 1000 mutual funds and hedge funds and super investors (Warren Buffett, George Soros, etc) and have entered their top holdings into our database. Using Stockpickr you can easily browse these portfolios, drill down on stocks that interest you, check out overlapping funds and portfolios, etc.
Spotlight Portfolios:
Every day we will highlight 2-10 interesting portfolios that we think are topical or investment worthy. For instance, as I write this we have IBDs list of top-rated stocks (using their Canslim methodology) that are moving higher on unusual volume. We also have the list of top 10 stocks trading below their net current asset value and we have the top closed-end funds trading at the highest discount to their net asset value. Finally, for Today's Spotlights we also have a list of Alternative Energy Stocks that we think will do well
Top-rated Portfolios:
We keep track of the top-rated portfolios as ranked by the Stockpickr community. In addition to being a ranking mechanism, rating a portfolio also functions as a bookmark for you. All the portfolios you rate can be tracked on your home page at Stockpickr. Additionally, whenever a portfolio you've rated a "4" is updated, you receive an email informing you of the change.
Most Viewed portfolios:
Its interesting to follow the portfolios of the ones that have been the most viewed on the site. Currently, Warren Buffett is our most viewed portfolio with the "other oracle of Omaha", Wally Weitz, who runs the Weitz mutual funds, the second most viewed. And finally, our list of IBD Top 10 Low-priced stocks is number 3.
Tomorrow will be Part II of this list describing some of the other Stockpickr functions for getting new investing ideas, including:
