5 Huge Stocks to Trade in May - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Stocks took a welcome breather yesterday, dipping just under 1% after climbing higher for close to two weeks straight. A month ago, a 1% correction in the broad market would have been treated like a catastrophe, but now investors are shrugging it off. That's a good thing for this rally's staying power in May. More on that in a minute.
As of yesterday's close, the S&P 500 is up 11% in 2013 -- and scores of investors who didn't trust the rally coming into the new year think they've missed it. But that's not necessarily true. While stocks have made some big moves this year, there's still upside to this rally.
>>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy for May
And some names are set to move more than most from here. So today we'll take a technical look atfive big stocks worth trading in May.
If you're new to technical analysis, here's the executive summary.
>>5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now
Technicals are a study of the market itself. Since the market is ultimately the only mechanism that determines a stock's price, technical analysis is a valuable tool even in the roughest of trading conditions. Technical charts are used every day by proprietary trading floors, Wall Street's biggest financial firms, and individual investors to get an edge on the market. And research shows that skilled technical traders can bank gains as much as 90% of the time.
Every week, I take an in-depth look at big names that are telling important technical stories. Here's this week's look at five high-volume stocks to trade for gains.
>>Stocks Are Doomed. Buy More Stocks.
First, it's worth taking an updated look at the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) today. SPY is a good proxy for the broad market -- the $130 billion ETF mirrors the S&P's daily ebb and flow, giving investors a one-step way to buy stocks as a group. And lately, both the big index and this ETF have been looking extremely attractive from a technical standpoint.
>>5 Stocks Fund Managers Love for 2013
It doesn't take a whole lot of technical expertise to see where the prevailing trend is in this chart: It's up. More importantly, that uptrend has stayed within a tight channel since all the way back in November. Even when the S&P tested support in mid-April, the index managed to catch a bid at that lower line and bounce higher again. In a word, this rally has been "orderly" -- and it continues to be orderly right now.
In a nutshell, this is still a "buy the dips" market.
By that, I mean that it's continuing to pay off to buy SPY close to trend line support. That'll change when the uptrend breaks and the 50-day moving average gets violated. Until that happens, keep buying the dips.
Not all of the S&P's component stocks have been participating in the rally. In fact, Apple (AAPL), its biggest component, has been forming the opposite pattern since last October. But that could be about to change.
Apple's downtrend has been every bit as orderly as the uptrend that the rest of the market has been enjoying. Each test of trend line resistance has sent supply flooding shares and pushed this big name back down into the channel -- until recently, that is. This week, AAPL is testing a breakout above resistance. That could mean an end to the selling in shares of the world's biggest company.
>> Tech Stocks Rising on Big Volume
Not so fast, though. Apple has tested resistance in the past only to get swatted lower. This won't be a reversal until AAPL can start making higher lows (that's requisite for an uptrend). We'll get an early buy signal if Apple can catch a bid above its most recent swing high at $466. If AAPL can hold above that previous price ceiling, we've got a buy signal for more aggressive Apple bulls. Then I'd recommend keeping a protective stop on the other side of the 50-day moving average; it should start looking like a decent proxy for support when a move through $466 happens.
Wal-Mart (WMT) is taking a breather this week, consolidating sideways after a swift rally from the mid-$60s. Even though WMT's recent price action hasn't exactly been riveting lately, there's still a trade to be made in this retail mammoth.
Wal-Mart's price action has been constrained within a rectangle pattern since the uptrend turned sideways. A rectangle is a pattern that's formed by two horizontal price levels: resistance above shares at $79 and support below at $77. Rectangles give traders a chance to catch their breath and figure out their next move after a big share price change. As a result, it makes sense to make a bet in the direction of the breakout from the channel.
>>5 Hated Stocks That Could Pop in May
Since this consolidation is coming after a prolonged uptrend, Wal-Mart looks likely to resume upside once this rectangle has run its course. Momentum backs that up -- 14-day RSI has been in an uptrend since November, and it looks like it's just starting to bounce off of its trend line. Since momentum is a leading indicator of price, that's a good sign.
I'd recommend keeping a close eye on $79 in May.
Everyone's favorite social network, Facebook (FB), reported its first-quarter numbers yesterday, reporting mixed results as sales topped estimates while users stagnated. Even though shares are pointing higher early in this morning's trading, this stock is showing some technical signs of a top in the longer-term.
>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
Facebook has been forming a head and shoulders top, a pattern that indicates exhaustion among buyers. The pattern is formed by two swing highs that top out around the same level (the shoulders), separated by a bigger peak called the head; the sell signal comes on the breakdown below the pattern's "neckline" level, which is right at $25 for FB. A drop below that $25 level would be a major sell signal for the stock.
Even though the head and shoulders is a well known pattern (maybe too well known), it's worth heeding. A recent academic study conducted by the Federal Reserve Board of New York found that the results of 10,000 computer-simulated head-and-shoulders trades resulted in "profits [that] would have been both statistically and economically significant." That's good reason to keep a very close eye on FB in May.
It's not surprising that we're seeing the exact same price action in Zynga (ZNGA) right now. The online social game maker ebbs and flows with Facebook, where most its games are played. In a sense, ZNGA is just high-beta Facebook: a more volatile way to bet on the social networking giant. And like FB, Zynga looks "toppy" right now.
Zynga is forming a head and shoulders top with a neckline at $3. A breakdown through that price signals that it's time to sell before buyers completely evaporate. You see, with any technical pattern, it's critical to think in terms of buyers and sellers, not shapes. After all, rectangles, head and shoulders patterns, and the like are a good way of describing what's happening on a chart, but they're not the reason that it's tradable. Instead, that all comes down to the supply and demand caused by those buyers and sellers.
The neckline at $3 is a place where a glut of buyers has been willing to step in and put a floor in the stock up until now. A breakdown means that increasingly eager sellers have absorbed all of the excess demand for shares sitting at that level -- and without that barrier in place, shares have room to drop.

Pieces of History
Military Logistics of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, 1914–1919
Michel Litalien
Canadian military logistics is a dimension of the history of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) that is often overlooked. Yet just a few days after Canada's entry into the First World War, it was obvious that there was no way of ignoring it. When huge numbers of military and civilian volunteers showed up at Valcartier, near Quebec City, in August 1914, logistical support services, which had only recently been established, were soon put to the test. Clothing and equipping the members of the first contingent turned out to be a real headache. Manufacturers had to be found and contracts drawn up in a hurry for the production of uniforms, boots, belts, weapons, vehicles and so on. From a logistical standpoint, mobilizing the first contingent destined for Europe was a nightmare.
Throughout the Great War, the Canadian Expeditionary Force's logistical support system was an immense, complex operation. Of all the support services, the Canadian Army Service Corps (CASC) was the most diversified. Its main responsibilities were transporting combat troops, delivering equipment and materials, and providing the troops with fresh supplies. In addition to these essential tasks, the CASC also evacuated the wounded (ambulance drivers belonged to the corps), salvaged equipment that had been captured from the enemy or left behind on the battlefield and delivered mail. The CASC worked closely with the Canadian Ordnance Corps, the Canadian Army Medical Corps, and the Canadian Artillery Corps for the transportation of specialized ordnance.
The CASC operated from seaports located hundreds of kilometres from the battlefield, all the way to just behind the front lines. Its replenishment system could supply not only small groups of just a few men but also formations the size of an infantry battalion (approximately 1,000 men).
Resupplying front-line units was a multistep process. From ports and depots, supplies were first taken by railway to railheads. From there, CASC units were responsible for moving the supplies by truck or light railway to supply dumps. These operations took place in the third line of supply. Thanks to their small size, light railways could run and reach areas closer to the front lines more easily. It was also harder for enemy artillery to pinpoint them. The administrative area behind the front lines was crisscrossed by light rail lines that were built and maintained by Canadian railway troops.
From the supply dumps, the CASC's divisional train and ammunition supply column, both of which were horse-drawn, were responsible for bringing supplies closer to the front lines, to their respective divisions or individual units. This was the second line of supply.
Lastly, operations to supply front-line units constituted the first line of supply. These units had to come back to the rear to get their own supplies of gear, ammunition, weapons, technical and communications equipment, water, medication and food. These supply expeditions were carried out chiefly at night so that the soldiers could not be seen by the enemy. But assigning combat troops to this task meant that a battalion's defensive positions at the front would be short of manpower for a time and so vulnerable to enemy attack.
Toward the end of the war, however, a Canadian officer from Montreal proposed using the tumpline system — the method that Canada's aboriginal people and coureurs de bois had used to carry large loads on foot. Before the introduction of this system, infantryman had to carry supplies in their arms, thus limiting the quantity of materials due to their size and weight. The tumpline system, which involved the use of a head strap, allowed the soldiers to carry more weight and freed up their arms, thus giving them more freedom of movement. With this system, each soldier was able to transport a greater quantity of supplies and so fewer men were required for the job, leaving more troops to ensure the defence of the front lines.
Besides regularly providing drivers and vehicles to other units, the CASC also maintained and repaired its vehicles. It also had to make sure that the troops were fed, which meant that fresh and hard rations had to be allocated and distributed properly; its military cooks oversaw the operation of field bakeries and butcheries.
The CASC was not the only logistical support corps to play a key role in the CEF. The Canadian Ordnance Corps was responsible for procuring, storing and distributing uniforms, boots, equipment, weapons, ammunition and shells to combat troops. Specialized supply depots, located in the second line of supply, helped ensure more effective distribution.
The Canadian Ordnance Corps' other major role was to maintain equipment in the field. The repairmen in the specialized ordnance mobile workshops could get closer to the deployed units and repair their weapons, both light and heavy, as well as their equipment. If the mobile workshops were not able to do the repairs on site, the weapons and equipment were shipped to heavy or stationary workshops at the rear, where virtually anything could be reassembled or rebuilt. The small detachments of the Ordnance Corps worked closely with the various units of the Army Service Corps.
Despite the gradual mechanization of the war, horses remained a vital component of the CEF. The cavalry, the artillery and, of course, the Army Service Corps used huge numbers of horses right up to the end of the war. At one point, Canadians were using as many as 24,000 horses and mules in their overseas operations. Horses could often manage in places where motorized vehicles could make no headway! Inevitably, some horses suffered injuries or fell ill. The Canadian Veterinary Corps operated mobile sections to take care of horses; it also ran veterinary hospitals for horses, advanced remount depots and specialized basic provisions depots.
Other logistical support services also played a crucial role in enabling combat troops to get on with their job. The Canadian Postal Corps, for instance, helped maintain the morale of soldiers at the front, at the rear and also those convalescing in hospitals. Army chaplains, who constituted the smallest organized support group, provided religious services to Canadian soldiers of different faiths and offered moral support at difficult times. Lastly, despite the enemy's efforts to maintain a naval blockade by submarines, the Canadian Forestry Corps ensured that Great Britain, France and the Canadian Expeditionary Force obtained all the timber they needed to carry out their military operations.
Thousands of men served in these various organizations. The Army Service Corps, for example, counted over 17,000 officers and non-commissioned soldiers in its organization. Even if these units were not combat troops, many of them, including the Army Service Corps, played important roles in all military actions. One hundred and four members of the CASC were killed, and 363 were wounded.

General Currie's plan for the first phase of the offensive called for simultaneous attacks by the British division on the left, the 3rd Canadian Division between the Scarpe and the Cambrai road, and the 2nd on the right covering as far as the inter-army boundary, which ran eastward from Neuville-Vitasse. They were to secure a north-south line just west of Monchy-le-Preux, exploiting thence as far east as possible. For gun support General Currie could call on fourteen brigades of field and nine of heavy artillery. Nine tanks from the 3rd Tank Brigade were allotted to each of the Canadian divisions, but as a result of the losses to armour at Amiens these were not to be used ahead of the infantry unless definite resistance demanded their employment. Monday, August 26, was fixed as the day of assault, and zero hour, originally at dawn, was advanced to 3:00 a.m. in hope of confusing the enemy.
The attack started on time. The opening artillery and machine-gun barrage was reported as admirable. The 2nd Division attacking south of the road made fine progress. At first the Germans, surprised by the early hour of the assault, offered little resistance, so that the advancing infantry had no need to call on the tanks for help. While the 6th Brigade, under Brig.-Gen. A. H. Bell, pushed out a defensive flank on the Corps right and mopped up the Neuville-Vitasse area, the 4th Brigade (Brig.-Gen. R. Rennie) making the main assault, drove rapidly through the enemy's outpost zone, encountering very little resistance. Shortly after 6:00 a.m. the 20th Battalion captured Chapel Hill, 2500 yards west of Monchy. By this time day had broken, making it easier for the tanks to support the infantry closely. But it also allowed the enemy good observation from high ground about Monchy; and his field artillery put a number of the tanks out of action. By 7:30, the 21st Battalion was approaching the outskirts of Guémappe, where it ran into heavy fire coming from Monchy, a mile to the north.
A mid-morning shift in the forward boundary of the First and Third Armies (partly in order to aid the Fourth Army by exerting more pressure in a south-easterly direction) had repercussions on the Canadian front. The 2nd Division, hitherto attacking eastward, was ordered to shift its axis of advance to the south-east, and to capture the high ground across the Cojeul River south-east of Wancourt. General Burstall gave the task to the 6th Brigade, assigning as objective the ruins of Wancourt Tower, 1200 yards south of Guémappe. At 4:40 p.m. the 27th and 28th Battalions crossed the dry river bed and attacked the ridge, supported by an effective barrage fired by the 5th and 6th Brigades C.F.A., which had moved forward of Neuville-Vitasse. As the attackers topped the rise from the Cojeul valley they were heavily hit. The crest of the ridge was thick with uncut wire and swept by machine-gun fire from outposts of the Hindenburg Line over towards the right, which the British 52nd Division, making a parallel attack on the Third Army's left flank, had not yet reached. The two battalions were forced to dig in at dusk short of their final objective; but early next morning in a silent attack they secured Egret Trench on the German forward slope, thereby gaining a good jumping-off line for operations on the 27th.
Meanwhile on the Corps left, where the approach of the 3rd Division was dominated by Orange Hill, rising sixty feet above the surrounding countryside, General Lipsett's plan was to turn the position by an attack along the southern bank of the Scarpe. The 8th Brigade (Brig.-Gen. D. C. Draper), employing in the assault three battalions of the Canadian Mounted Rifles, found the German opposition lighter than expected. The 4th C.M.R. advanced along the river bank and outflanked Orange Hill. It was followed by the 2nd C.M.R., which, turning sharply to its right, took the hill from the north. The 1st and 5th C.M.R. then passed through to left and right respectively, to attack Monchy from the north and the west; by 7:40 the village was in Canadian hands. Shortly afterwards 4 the 7th Brigade (Brig.-Gen. H. M. Dyer) pushed through to attack with The Royal Canadian Regiment and the P.P.C.L.I. a number of enemy-held woods east of Monchy. The change in the 2nd Division's axis had led to the withdrawal of the 4th Brigade south of the Arras-Cambrai road. As a temporary measure two machine-gun batteries of General Brutinel's Canadian Independent Force were dispatched down the road to cover the gap. The 42nd Battalion was then put in on the 20th Battalion's former front, where it evicted the enemy from its heavily-wired trenches south of Monchy.
North of the Scarpe the 51st (Highland) Division had kept pace with little difficulty, pushing its line forward to secure the chemical works north of Roeux and establish patrols on the west side of Gavrelle. By dusk the Canadian line, well inside the old German front trench system, ran from west of Pelves, on the south bank of the river, passing 1000 yards east of Monchy-le-Preux to include Guémappe and Wancourt Tower. Powerful counterattacks developed from the direction of the Bois du Vert and Jigsaw Wood, which the enemy was holding as outposts to his Fresnes-Rouvroy line. These were launched by two regiments of the German 35th Division, moved forward from the Drocourt-Quéant Line with orders to retake Monchy. The German effort was smashed, but it had succeeded in preventing any further Canadian advance on the 26th.

A new music venue and coffee shop in Tempe is providing the local art scene with a creative outlet to display artists' work – The Fixx Coffee Bar.
Managed by ASU student Robbie Pfeffer, 20, The Fixx is the beginning of a completely renovated Tempe and a new addition to the artistic community.
"It's a new spot; it's an all-ages venue for kids to come and hang out to be a part of the art community along with the underground music scene," Pfeffer says.
The walls of The Fixx are covered in local artists' work, each of which is completely unique from the next. From photography to a skateboard mural, the environment is set up for those interested in a place to be surrounded by people with similar tastes in music and art.
Many frequent visitors, such as ASU student Kelsey Williams, 20, can be seen lounging or studying in the dining area with a coffee in hand.
"I really like the art here," Williams says. "I'm an art student so it's nice to come here, look at all of it, and appreciate it."
Last year, Pfeffer got word of a local art venue, E-Joy, which had the ability to display his work and provide a few pieces for use in the store. Once E-Joy went out of business, Pfeffer searched for weeks to get his work back from the owners. When he found them, he discovered they were struggling to find a method to continue to own the space while running a functioning coffeehouse.
That is when Pfeffer had the idea of creating an outlet for showcasing local artwork, providing unforgettable coffee and housing local bands using the E-Joy location.
After receiving the approval of the owners, Pfeffer agreed to manage the project, and The Fixx became an operative business.
The space, which began as a house, has once been a bank, dentist office, Internet coffee shop and is now a coffeehouse and music venue. The bank's vault, located in the back room still in tact, reminds the visitors of the history of the building.
The Fixx provides the Tempe community with free shows every Saturday night in the back room. The small space allows the listener to hold a closer, more intimate experience with the bands.
Local bands are allowed to sign up for a performance date and future shows will feature out-of-state bands. Future events will be posted on the Tempe Starving Artist website.
Steven Totten, member of the local band Kid Sampson, played the first show The Fixx held in January.
"Robbie has been completely open to any kind of artistic medium or genre, and because of that, there has been a huge number of Tempe and Phoenix-based artists and musicians who have come to contribute," Totten says.
With a location in the heart of Downtown Tempe, where most residents are interested in the art and music culture, Pfeffer has reason to believe they will last in this economy.
"There is a great deal more work that will be done in order to make The Fixx successful, and it will be interesting to see what happens as it grows, " Pfeffer says.

Celeb Nutritionist Marco Borges Reveals How Beyonce Slimmed Down

By Sierra Marquina
Celebrity nutritionist and trainer Marco Borges phoned in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest to talk about how he got Beyoncé to have this year's most talked-about body.
The "Xo" singer displayed a significantly slimmed-down figure at the Grammy Awards last month after going vegan for 22 days. Bey, along with her husband Jay Z, followed Marco's 22-day vegan plan and clearly reaped the benefits.
Marco tells us when it comes to getting into Beyoncé-type shape, "It boils down to … plant-based nutrition." Not only does eating a diet which is plant-based reduce cancer risks, it also helps you shed pounds, Marco explains.
"It wasn't about the exercise," for Queen B, Marco says. "It was about what she was putting into her diet."

Hi Im new to this, and my 76 yr old mum is being tested for CJD. She first became unwell in Dec 11 when she was found with a blood clot in her heart but since then she has been on what I call "fast track dementia" In three months she has gone from a fit healthy, full of life independent mum to a small, frail, old lady that cant do any thing for herself except get a glass or spoon to her mouth. She in doubly incontinent, can be aggresive, and can just about get around with help. I had to pound on doctors doors to get her refered back to heart consultant and he couldnt believe the difference in just a short time. We went for a MRI scan and have an EEG in mid May (if we can move her by then). The tests are looking for CJD due to the incrediable pace her dementia has proceeded. If anybody has come across anything like this before please post me as I dont really know how much time we have if reports of this desease are right.
Sadly mum passed away on 4th May after a rapid decline and a brain haemorage. All the scans/tests came back normal and so "there was nothing wrong with her"..... at least after cornering the consultant he admitted he had been testing (or ruling everything else out) for CJD. We (my brother and I) insisted on a autopsy of the brain and spinal cord to confirm our beliefs. It takes 4 - 6 months for results. We buried mum last week and she is now next to her mum and dad, and sister, brother in law, in a little church yard, just where she wanted to be. After a lovely day and excellent service I now feel quite at peace in a funny sort of way.


text: Last night marked the end of the run for the long running show. What I found the most interesting was the kids who are shown in each episode actually filmed the finale way back when the show first started filming to make sure they always looked the same age. I'm not going to give away anything in the post about the finale, but I am wondering what everyone thought about it or if you watched it or even care at this point. Were you satisfied? Are you going to miss the show?

Brad Paisley's 'Wheelhouse' projected to land in top ten
Listen to Brad Paisley on iHeartRadio
Brad Paisley's ninth album Wheelhouse is on track for a top ten debut despite the controversy surrounding the track "Accidental Racist" featuring LL Cool J. Billboard.com is projecting that Paisley's album could sell around 95,000 records, which could land album as high as number two on the Billboard 200 chart. The position would give Paisley his eighth top ten album.
Meanwhile, Billboard expects Paramore's self-titled album to take the top spot. The Billboard 200 rankings will be revealed on Wednesday.
Once Wheelhouse hit stores last Tuesday, Paisley and LL Cool came under fire for their lyrics on "Accidental Racist." The two have defended the song, saying they hoped it would provoke a conversation about race relations.

Hi guys,
I like to inform you that I couldn't install xampp-win32-1.7.3 in my computer for creating a local host/local server.
Then I tried XAMPP 1.7.1 win32 (Basic Package). But it showed the massage: Ports 80 or 443 (SSL) already in use! Installing Apache2.2 service failed!
Please anybody can tell me, what should I do?
Thank you
Do you have another web service running?
Do you have skype running?
This tool can tell you which processes/applications are using what local ports: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx
I've always used the DOS command promptC:\>netstatbut that tool does look much more user friendly
you can use alternative wampp software
Actually, no. Not for a "port in use" problem. The installer/management package won't make a difference since Apache and MySQL use the same default ports--80 for apache, and 3306 for MySQL.
Well even if ports are in use you could change the ports easily. Thats not a major issue.
You need to go to xampp folder > apache > conf > httpd.conf
find the port Listen
Listen 80
You can change that to any port and then when you access local host you need to say localhost:XX so that it loads web from that port.
Similarly for 443 port you need to go to httpd-ssl.conf and change the listen port
Then restart apache and you should be ok.
It's usually better to figure out what's actually using those ports. They aren't typically used on home workstation.
Mostly the ports are free but sometimes with applications or even Anti Virus / Firewall softwares installed they sometimes block these common ports. Most of the times I have found that changing the ports solves the issue on most machines
They block external access, yes. You would have to open those ports in the firewall to allow others to connect to webserver services.
However, these applications rarely block local access to these ports or even use these ports. The worst offenders I've seen using port 80 or 443 are are chat applications, such as Skype. In Skype, there is a special advanced setting to explicitly prevent Skype from using port 80 and 443.
I use Wamp. May want to try that one.
I have the problem about - How to install XAMPP on windows XP? I have brought XAMPP Win32-1.7.1 from a friend but not know how to install it on my computer, looking here for step-to-step guide to install it correctly.
I am newbie to the PHP web development.
9 times out of 10 it is Skype that is causing the issue. As mentioned, changing local server packages won't fix the issue and generally, I like to keep my server ports unchanged.
Fire up Skype:
Tools > Options > Advanced > Connection > uncheck Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections > Save
It works! Thank you so much for your tips. Be well.

It begins in the vineyard---as we use only a small percentage of the grapes grown on our estate, the fruit that is perfect to the eye and loaded with flavor. We hire harvest crews chosen for their selective picking techniques, and then we hand sort to insure we are using nothing but the finest fruit. Using gentle, gravity-fed systems in the winery, a judicious use of oak barrel aging in the finest French oak, and daily attention to the wines during aging, we produce the finest wines possible in small, select quantities.

Julia Roberts. In college I loved her chick flicks. Pretty Woman. Steel Magnolias.So it felt a little odd to take my daughters to see a Julia Roberts flick. It was even stranger to realize that in Mirror, Mirror, a comic take on Snow White, Julia is, um, not the Pretty Woman. Yes, she is still beautiful, but she plays the aging beauty—the stepmother who is losing her powers. And, oh yeah, she's just a little bit older than me.Ouch.I admit as a child I was not much of a critical rea … [Read more...]

PHILADELPHIA – Penn hits the road for the first time since Han. 19 this weekend with a pair of EIWA and Ivy League duals set against Harvard and Brown. The Quakers will take on the Crimson in the Malkin Athletic Center on Friday at 6 p.m. followed by a 2 p.m. dual with Brown on Saturday in the Pizzitola Sports Center. Both duals will be streamed on the Ivy League Digital Network.
The Quakers have had the better of the all-time series of late with both of its opponents this weekend, carrying a 22-1 mark against the Crimson into Friday's dual and a 21-0 mark in recent action against the Bears.
The Red and Blue will be looking to snap a two-match losing skid and pick up their first Ivy dual win of the season this weekend in New England.
141-pounder Jeff Canfora enters the weekend with a 13-10 overall record, one win shy from equaling his single-season high in wins. Canfora wrestled in the Harvard dual at 133 pounds last year, picking up an 8-5 win. He is likely to wrestle Todd Preston who is 14-8 overall this season with wins in six of his last seven bouts.
Heavyweight Steven Graziano is 5-0 against Harvard wrestlers all-time, with four of those wins coming against the two wrestlers slated as probable opponents this weekend.
If No. 17 Casey Kent meets up with Devin Gobbo again, it will be a rematch of a 7-5 decision for Kent in last year's dual – his only career meeting against the Crimson. Kent trailed, 4-1, after the first period last year, but rallied in big fashion for the win.
Andrew Lenzi is 9-8 this season, and sits on 49 career wins entering this weekend. If he can replicate his win from last year, Lenzi could reach the 50-win mark for his career. Last year, Lenzi scored four points in the first period to down Todd Preston, 4-1.
Overall in duals, Harvard is 3-4 this season. The Crimson are 0-1 in Ivy duals and 2-4 against EIWA teams. Last time on the mat, Harvard defeated Boston University, 23-15. The Crimson won four bouts in the dual, led by James Fox's pin at 197 pounds. The runner-up to Micah Burak at last year's EIWAs, Fox is 9-7 overall this year.
Harvard is 2-2 against common opponents with the Quakers, defeating Binghamton and B.U. while losing to Cornell and Army.
Brown is 1-6 overall in head coach Todd Beckerman's first season. Two weeks ago, the Bears defeated Sacred Heart, 34-3, for Beckerman's first win as a head coach. Brown had three wins with bonus points in the victory over the Pioneers, led by a pin from No. 9 Ophir Bernstein at 184 pounds.
Bernstein is 23-6 overall this season, with 11 wins by fall. His last four wins have come by pin, and he has 20 total wins with bonus points this season. One of his six losses this season has come at the hands of Penn's No. 13 Lorenzo Thomas, a 10-6 decision at the East Stroudsburg Open in November.

Ariel Stain Remover Optical Illusion
As always, if you are into marketing, and would like your marketed product to gain as much attention possible, be creative! This is what I'm constantly promoting to my fellow marketers. Optical illusions contain just that special ingredient of design/mystery, thus helps numerous brands that decide to use them as part of their advertising. Check our Billboards section to see what I'm talking about! And no, (unfortunately) I'm not compensated for any of these posters I put on my site. The reason they're hear is because nicely done optical illusions, are often manufactured by professional design companies, most of the time as byproduct of some advertising campaign. Still, the reason they get viral probably lies in the things I already mentioned. Just think about it – I believe Über-success story is when you YOUR AD goes VIRAL (equals = free marketing and branding)! For example, take a look at Ariel poster for their new stain removal product. They cleverly used one of the most recognized color adapting illusions, and got that WOW EFFECT for their ad. This isn't the first time Ariel did something creative. More examples inside.

The absurd talking pineapple story found in an 8th grade standardized test is not a new phenomenon--it's been sighted on tests in several states in the past seven years and has been the subject of much discussion online since at least 2007.
It's only in the past few days, however, that the story's real problems have come to light. Education Week has some good thoughts here about the unquestioned power of the companies that draft your child's standardized tests:
I do not know what the teachers in New York can do to prepare their students for the pineapple story – perhaps have them watch some episodes of Monty Python.
Teachers who give standardized tests are required to sign affidavits swearing they will not copy the tests, or divulge their contents. Thus teachers are forbidden from airing concerns they might have about the contents of the tests.
The tests have become the ultimate authorities in our schools, and the test publishers are virtually unquestionable.
The standardized testing technocracy has convinced our policy makers that the only way we will be competitive in the world is if everyone learns the same information, and has that learning measured in ever-finer increments. We are not supposed to look behind the curtain to see the way this data is arrived at.
We are promised that any problems in the system will be fixed by the next generation, the Common Core, the computers that can score tests as well as the current system of warehouses of poorly paid readers now used for that purpose.
The truth is that sensitive formative assessment is the proper domain of a well-trained, intelligent teacher, capable of seeing the individual strengths and weaknesses of children, and guiding their learning. Standardized tests are useful when used as an annual check on that learning, but that is all. Once heavy consequences are attached to them, all the learning in a classroom is re-oriented to focus on pleasing that master, that almighty unquestionable arbiter of what has been learned.

Choose your favorite animal and adopt today!
Animals in nature have to work for a living—to find food, to make nests, and to find shelter. But play is another natural activity, whether you're a river otter, lion or flamingo. Enrichment is the process of creating a challenging environment to address an animal's social, psychological and physical needs. Enrichment aims to enhance animal activity, provide mental stimulation and even improve the success of captive breeding of endangered species. Enrichment also engages zoo visitors by showing animals' repertoires of natural behaviors, such as playing, exploring and foraging.
We choose items and activities that are safe and encourage natural behaviors. For example, orangutans in the wild make nests each time they stop to take a nap or go to sleep at night. We give our orangutans cut branches of hackberry, mulberry, banana leaves, willow, hay, or bamboo to make nests with. We can also give them "toys" like huge balls that are indestructible (especially made for zoo animals), rubber tubs, cardboard boxes, phone books, crates, and colorful fabric. Climbing structures and vertical and horizontal space encourage exercise and exploration.
Hiding food can make life more challenging; so for jaguars, we hide spices or other scents and food in logs that stimulate the cats into searching their exhibit.
Even turtles and snakes benefit from enrichment; it keeps them active and interested in the world around them.
Naturalistic exhibits stimulate our animals in ways that elicit natural behavior and prevent inactivity. Physical and mental development is an important aspect for healthy and happy animals.
Most people are not aware that the majority of zoo animals today are born in zoos where they serve as conservation ambassadors for their counterparts in the wild. Keeping our animals active and healthy gives you the chance to see them in a natural and beautiful habitat that encourages appreciation for the natural world.
While painting for artistic satisfaction is a purely human endeavor, we train species of animals to paint as an outlet for mental and physical stimulation. This activity allows them to exhibit natural behaviors (.e.g., moving fingers and toes, trunks, up-close viewing, etc.) and in the case of several individual animals, provides a special time of interaction with their caretakers. And as an extra benefit, their efforts can be quite beautiful for humans to see!
Throughout the year, the zoo hosts a variety of enrichment events that provide zoo visitors a chance to see the animals in active exhibition of behaviors.
Check out the Events calendar to discover the next enrichment event!

SPRINGFIELD, IL -- Gov. Pat Quinn has informed lawmakers that he is considering changing the Video Gaming Act of 2009 from an "opt-out" status for individual jurisdictions to an "opt-in" requirement for cities, counties and towns to permit licensed, operator-run video poker.
According to a story in the Chicago Sun-Times, Quinn floated the idea in a closed-door meeting with legislators on June 16.
Quinn was an enthusiastic backer of the Video Gaming Act when it passed but has backed away from it somewhat after 80 communities rejected video gaming. The Illinois Coin Machine Operators Association had lobbied for legalization and regulation of VLTs for 20 years.
Enactment of the Video Gaming Act is suspended, pending a verdict from the state Supreme Court. The high court heard arguments on May 17 that the VGA was improperly passed as part of a package of unrelated bills. If the court affirms those arguments, the Illinois Assembly might have to amend the VGA or pass it again as standalone legislation. | SEE STORY
Quinn has not yet signed or vetoed a casino bill that passed the Assembly in May of this year. If it becomes law, the measure will allow five new casinos in the state, potentially dealing a lethal blow to VLTs. | SEE STORY

Kim Kardashian's Playing Coy with her Wedding Info!
Stop beating around the bush Kim K and give us deets!
-Kenneth Thapoung
It's easier to answer who did it with the candlestick in the study, than it is figure out what's going on with this Kardashian wedding. Kim Kardashian and NBA star Kris Humphries need to spill some details. NOW.
The wedding date has yet to be revealed, but inside sources have given some hints to the month and place. PopEater reports that Kathie Lee Gifford from the Today Show was told the official date, but hasn't disclosed any specifics (such an unnecessary tease!) on or off camera.
"The date that close friends of the family are being given is toward the beginning of August," an insider tells PopEater. "They are looking at private estates in Los Angeles, since (that) location will make it much easier for guest flying in to attend."
(Has everyone drained their life savings for one of Kim's wedding wish gifts? Get on it!)
As for what vision in white she'll be designed in, Kim was spotted by Us Weekly window-shopping at Vera Wang's New York City store yesterday. But much like the date, Kim's final decision remains a mystery. Oh wait, there were cameras and sister Kourtney with her, so how much of this mystery will stay one….Sister Khloe Kardashian is rooting for Vera.
"She did mine, so I hope she does (Kim's)," Khloe tells E! News. "Just because I love her, and I feel like when you think of weddings, you think of Vera Wang. I think it would be a perfect fit."
Read OMG! Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo's Wedding Will Be Televised!
While the dress's designer may be the same as Khloe's, their mother Kris Jenner won't be rushing to wed Kim. A family friend says she's taking her time to make sure everything is perfect for Kim, as every mother should!
Hopefully everybody has purchased their TiVo boxes for the two-hour wedding special on E! to air at SOME point after the wedding, which will supposedly occur SOME TIME in the near future.

Tasks are displayed in three locations in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 — in the To-Do Bar, in Tasks, and in the Daily Task List in Calendar. If you subscribe to a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 task list, then any task that is assigned to you from this list also appears in all three of these locations.
What do you want to do?
View your tasks in Tasks
In the Navigation Pane, click Tasks.
Tip: You can change how the task list is presented by changing the Current View setting in the Navigation Pane.
View your tasks in the To-Do Bar
The To-Do Bar appears in all Outlook views by default. You can turn the To-Do Bar on or off. In addition, you can choose a minimized version of the To-Do Bar that uses less screen space.
When you turn the To-Do Bar on or off, or view it minimized in a specific view, the setting applies only to that view. For example, if you turn off the To-Do Bar in Mail, it remains off whenever you are in Mail, including the next time that you restart the program. However, it remains on in other views such as Calendar, Notes, and Tasks.
Click View, point to To-Do Bar, and then click Normal, Minimized, or Off.
View your tasks in the Daily Task List in Calendar
The Daily Task List appears only in the Day and Week views in your Outlook Calendar. To toggle the Daily Task List on or off, in Calendar, click View, point to Daily Task List, and then click Normal or Off.
To display only the number of current tasks, in Calendar, click View, point to Daily Task List, and then click Minimized — or, alternately, click the top edge of the Daily Task List when your pointer becomes a , and then drag up or down.
Tip: To create new tasks in the Daily Task List, you must use the Normal Daily Task List setting.

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.

I was impressed by the cohesion of the Goldman Sachs team – the lack of emphasis on a traditional pyramid hierarchy.
I am part of the real estate strategy team in Corporate Services and Real Estate in the Services division. My team helps to manage the Goldman Sachs occupied real estate portfolio. We are involved in analyzing, coordinating and presenting real estate transactions for all Goldman Sachs controlled properties.
Real estate strategy is interesting because I am able to work with a team of people with different backgrounds, including architects, engineers and finance people. Additionally, because the real estate analytics team is a global team, I have been able to work closely with my colleagues in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and Asia. We coordinate information between planning, transactions, capital projects and building operations in order to perform analyses.
My current assignment is to create a five-year occupancy cost forecast for the Goldman Sachs real estate portfolio. This project forces our team to look at the underlying lease terms, utilities and real estate taxes for each property. I enjoy the opportunity to be able to think creatively and to have a role in designing a new model that will best lend itself to an accurate prediction of future costs.
The most challenging aspect of my current job is working with a global team that combines different personalities and cultures, and developing an effective communication technique.
It is rewarding to be integrated into a global team and to have projects that allow me to take different perspectives, even with similar problems. I enjoy working on a small team that manages the global real estate portfolio because it allows me to learn about many aspects of corporate real estate.
I came to Goldman Sachs through a recruiter. I have a background in structural engineering and construction management. I interviewed with other firms but had a unique interview experience at Goldman Sachs. I actually interviewed for a job more closely related with construction management. During the interview, I was asked about my career goals and interests. It came out that I was really interested in real estate strategy analysis. Recruiters at Goldman Sachs listened to my goals and motivation and ended up interviewing me for my current position at that very moment. Fortunately, I ended up in my current group in the real estate analytics team.
I was impressed by the cohesion of the Goldman Sachs team – the lack of emphasis on a traditional pyramid hierarchy. Hierarchy is replaced instead by personal ambition on the part of every member of Goldman Sachs. I could see that each individual, from the most junior-titled member to the most senior member, participated in team discussions and brought each of their skills to make for better work products.
I always wanted to explore the world of finance in conjunction with my engineering background. I did not know how that would work out, or if I would have to take an intermediate step. I feel very lucky to have been able to join the financial world at Goldman Sachs. People at Goldman Sachs are intelligent, driven, and extremely knowledgeable.
I encourage people who are interested in a career in finance to follow their interests. Finance is extremely broad and there are segments within finance that touch every industry. Another perception that I had to get over is that I would be lost in an organization as large as Goldman Sachs. It was a nice surprise to discover that the core team I ended up working for was small and run as its own business unit.

Michael Kors Resort 2013
With only a few resort presentations under our belts, it's probably too early to be talking about the central story that's emerging from the collections thus far. Even that very notion, the grand narrative, seems a little stale these days. After all, isn't this the season that's about clothes, pure and simple? Wear anytime, wear anywhere, clothes that simultaneously speak to your need for something Totally New, yet also are not so overly conceptual and tricked out that they look like they're trying too hard? Well, yes. But at the same time, designers aren't working in a vacuum, and they're always responding to both the palpable shifts and subtle nuances of the way that women want to dress.
Which brings us to Michael Kors, who is blessed with a rare and uncanny sixth sense that detects when change is afoot, and reacts right to it. For resort, that means Kors is thinking about what he calls "opulent minimalism." Oh, he will wax lyrical about a trip he and husband Lance Le Pere recently took to Istanbul, with its modern architecture, ancient Moorish skyline, deep blue Sea of Marmara, and the fabulous Turkish women who don't say "stop" at three strands of diamonds for daytime. In the end, though, what he is really doing is using this as brushstrokes to paint his bigger picture, which is his response to this: Women now want excess and embellishment, but in the easiest and simplest of ways. That explains why cotton, that most prosaic of fabrics, has been getting a deluxe makeover this resort, splattered with sequins, printed with exotic and elaborate florals, or artfully shaped into tees with kimono-like cap sleeves. Push it—but not so far you don't feel it has a tangible realness to it, too.
Kors's resort is a study in that idea. No wonder he cites the likes of Jacqueline de Ribes and Bianca Brandolini as inspiration, given that both, despite the years that separate them, are the kind of gals who favor the casual glamour of shorts for evening. There were plenty of those here, for day and night, cut from black shantung and worn under a black-and-gold ikat coat, or in gold brocade with a matching reefer jacket, or pristine in white cotton broadcloth, partnered with a white utility jacket. And all of this came with another idea of fashion that's flashy and feel-good: various forms of flat, or flat-ish, sandals; buckled, thick black leather straps on paper-thin soles or low-block heels, gleaming with gold and gemstones.

Volcán Popocatépetl, whose name is the Aztec word for smoking mountain, towers to 5426 m 70 km SE of Mexico City to form North America's 2nd-highest volcano.
The glacier-clad stratovolcano contains a steep-walled, 400 x 600 m wide crater. The generally symmetrical volcano is modified by the sharp-peaked Ventorrillo on the NW, a remnant of an earlier volcano. At least three previous major cones were destroyed by gravitational failure during the Pleistocene, producing massive debris-avalanche deposits covering broad areas south of the volcano.
The modern volcano was constructed to the south of the late-Pleistocene to Holocene El Fraile cone. Three major plinian eruptions, the most recent of which took place about 800 AD, have occurred from Popocatépetl since the mid Holocene, accompanied by pyroclastic flows and voluminous lahars that swept basins below the volcano.
Frequent historical eruptions, first recorded in Aztec codices, have occurred since precolumbian time.
The first Spanish ascent of the volcano was made by an expedition led by Diego de Ordaz in 1519. The early 16th-century monasteries on the slopes of the mountain are a World Heritage Site.
Popocatepetl is one of the most active volcanoes in Mexico, having had more than 15 major eruptions since the arrival of the Spanish in 1519. A major eruption occurred in 1947.
On December 21, 1994, the volcano spewed gas and ash which was carried as far as 25 km (16 mi) away by prevailing winds. The activity prompted the evacuation of nearby towns and scientists to begin monitoring for an eruption.
In December 2000, tens of thousands of people were evacuated by the government based on the warnings of scientists. The volcano then made its largest display in 1,200 years.
On December 25, 2005, the volcano's crater produced an explosion which ejected a large column of smoke and ash about 3 km (1.9 mi) into the atmosphere and expulsion of lava.
In January and February of 2012, scientists have been noticing Popocatepetl's action increasing. On January 25, 2012, an ash explosion occurred on the mountain causing much dust and ash to contaminate the atmosphere around it.
On April 19, 2012 there were reports of superheated rock fragments being hurled into the air by the volcano. Ash and water vapor plumes were reported 15 times over 24 hours. The activity still continued while writing this article (July 13). It can be followed in our Daily Volcano Activity reports.
The list below shows the earthquake activity in a narrow radius around the volcano. Unfortunately we are only able to report the stronger earthquakes reported by the most important seismological agencies in the world. Our earthquakes database began registering early 2012.

NH cheaters rejoice: Adultery may soon be legal
(NEWSER) – Technically, it's a crime to cheat on your spouse in New Hampshire, though the anti-adultery law hasn't been enforced in more than 10 years. But soon, you may only need to worry about the moral ramifications of stepping out on your husband or wife, not the potential legal ones. Rep. Tim O'Flaherty, a Democrat, sponsored a House bill to repeal the statute, which dates back to the early 1800s, the AP reports. The House passed the bill; if the Senate does the same on Thursday (and it's expected to, the Washington Post reports), the governor has said she will likely sign it, meaning it would go into effect January 1.

Library Announcements
Maag Library has the complete run of the New York Times from today's morning edition back to the very first issue in 1851.
Starting September 17, 2007, the complete back file of the New York Times could be searched from NYTimes.com, over 13 million articles in all. IN MARCH 2011 the website modified its free access to full text articles for stories published by the paper between 1851 and 1922. The new rules state:
"Visitors can enjoy 20 free articles (including blog posts, slide shows, video and other multimedia features) each calendar month on NYTimes.com, as well as unrestricted access to browse the home page, section fronts, blog fronts and classifieds.
Your free, limited access resets every month: at the beginning of each calendar month, you'll once again be able to view 20 free articles for that month.
For nonsubscribers, articles from the New York Times archives from 1923 through 1986 are $3.95 each. Views of archived articles outside that date range are free but still count toward the 20-article monthly limit.
Articles published from 1987 to date are also available. The site will still charge for access to stories published between 1923 and 1986." LINK
Researchers may use the New York Times website or the Maag paper indexes to find the citations for those critical years of the Twentieth Century and get copies if needed from the Maag microfilm, call number Micro film X2000.
Example : You are researching the Ku Klux Klan riot in Niles, Ohio in 1924. From nytimes. com front page, do a simple word search in the search bar, then repeat it in advanced search to get to The New York Times Archive 1851-1980. (Click on the following images to enlarge.)
The second hit on the results is the article , "Ohio Klan Defiant, threatens Niles"
A click on the link takes you to the citation page where you may purchase the article, OR
use the citation (November 4, page 2) to go to the Maag Microform Center to make a paper or digital copy from the microfilm collection.
An article from InfoWorld.com summarizes the online index and notes some of its limitations which may still require usage of our print indexes.
Note well: To find microfilm reels quickly, copy the date, section, and page numbers of the article from your online database or paper index.
Obtain the appropriate microfilm reel located in the cabinets to the right of the Microform Center service desk. They are in chronological order. Photocopies may be made on three microform reader printers. One is also connected to a PC so that a digital copy can be made. Feel free to ask for assistance at the Microforms Center Service desk.
Maag Library patrons may also find New York Times articles though a multitude of databases such as:

By Brendan Lutes
Josh Hill has been through a lot over the past couple of years. Since getting injured while trying to learn how to backflip in order to compete in X Games Speed and Style, Hill has had a tough road to overcome multiple injuries that he suffered in the horrific crash. This past season, Hill attempted to race the Supercross series, but was injured again and elected to sit out the series in order to fully and properly heal. After that, he rode a couple outdoor Nationals, finishing decently in a few motos, but not up to the standards he had set for himself.
Since then, Hill has secured a ride with the RCH/Suzuki team for 2013 and beyond, and says that he is finally nearly back to where he was before getting hurt. With a few months on the bike, we caught up with Hill to see how things have been for him as he plans on making a full assult on the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross series.
We spoke with you a month or two ago, but how have things been going for you now that you have been able to put more time on the new Suzuki?
It's been a pretty wild ride. This last summer, I tried to do a couple Nationals. I felt like I was riding okay, but didn't really feel like I was in my groove yet, and I didn't do to hot. After that, I took a couple months off and all I really did was ride BMX. When I got the call to get this deal going, it was weird, because everything just started clicking when I got back on the bike. I was good to have a couple months to chill and get really healthy, and now everything has been going really smooth.
Everyone kind of already knows the story about how you got the ride on the Dodge/Sycuan Casino/Suzuki/RCH team, but what was it like to get re-signed with the team?
I wanted to do the last couple of Nationals to see where I was at, and the equipment and my speed just wasn't quite there. And it just didn't go like I had wanted it to, so I wasn't really counting on getting signed. I didn't really think that they were going to do it, but everything just ended up working out in my favor. They resigned me to the team and we're actually getting factory support this year. The bikes are awesome.
What has it been like to think you were done racing, but then get re-signed to a factory-supported team?
It just gives me a whole new respect for riding again. When you're sitting there thinking about how you're going to make money again, and if you have to get a normal nine-five job, it sucks. I don't want to say it's the end of the world or anything, but being paid to ride a dirt bike is my dream. Every day I get back on my bike, I just love it and want to ride. I love riding anyways and it's something I love doing, but I didn't know if I was going to be able to continue doing it professionally. I think of it as a second chance—well actually a third chance—I don't even know what you want to call it, but I'm really stoked. Every day I try to get the most out of it and learn and show up every day ready. I'm pumped to ride that bike.
With Anaheim I only a couple weeks away, where are you at with your preparation right now?
I think I'm right where I need to be. We've been riding a lot. I came down here [Southern California] in the middle of October, and I've just been riding all the time, that's all I've really been doing—just riding and training. I just love it; it's going perfect. Every day I feel stronger, I feel better, and I feel more… I don't really want to say I feel like my old self; I want to say I feel good again. I feel like I'm going fast and I feel really dialed in. The new Suzuki is a really easy bike to ride and it's not like I have to push. It really suits my style, it's easy to ride, and it almost does the work for you.
During this time of year, training and riding can tend to get old, but is there anything else that you do to break up the monotony a little bit?
I ride BMX. I don't get to do it as much as I would like. I usually just go to skateparks. I think it's some of the best therapy that I could do for my ankle, because there is no suspension on a BMX bike and you really have to focus on making sure your ankle is planted when you're landing off a jump. You also have to use your ankles and knees to soak up big landings. It's been good to build my legs back up and an exercise to regain motion in my ankle and to regain feeling because you really have to feel and sense where your pedal is. It's just something I have always enjoyed doing, and my dad was a pro BMX rider and rode for Dyno and GT. It's always been something that I've loved doing and my dad taught me how to ride a bicycle, and how to bunnyhop when I was two years old or something like that.
What are your expectations for yourself for not only the opening round of Supercross in a couple weeks, but for the season?
I'm not going to put a ton of pressure on myself for Anaheim I. I just want to go there and be inside the top-10 and get the pace back. I feel that by judging from the people I've ridden with, I'm on pace and that I'm riding really well. I feel that I could maybe do better than top-10, but I just want to have a solid race. I haven't had too many good solid races under my belt, so I want to get a solid start and run with it for as long as I can. I think I'm in pretty good shape and can do the whole 20 laps strong. I don't know, man; to me anything is a win. If I go out and get top-10, then that's a reason to celebrate. From there, I'm going to keep picking away at it until I'm further up than that. I really believe that I can get back to where I used to be, battling with the guys up front. But it's not going to happen over night.
What are you doing for the holidays?
I have my whole family coming down to my beach house in Newport Beach—my mom, dad, little brother, and my grandma and grandpa. They're all going to spend Christmas in my little beach house; it will be pretty cool and that way I can minimize the amount of days I lose for training. My grandpa goes to all my races, so I'm sure he'll want to come out to the track and watch me ride too, so it will be cool.

Feathers & Freckles is a fashion blog of sorts, which is silly because I'm not very fashionable. I can typically be found in my pajamas and covered in cat hair, or out & about in jeans and a tee. My blog is about finding my style and wearing the items in my closet that I've been too scared to put on. I finally got sick of only dressing up when I have an event to go to, because let's face it, I never have anywhere to be and my clothes aren't getting any younger.
I recently started the 10 & 2 challenge because I constantly stand in my closet thinking "Why did I buy any of this crap?!" I pulled out 10 items that I always avoid and wore them for 2 weeks. It made me realize what does and doesn't work for me, and also how brutally honest my readers are (which I love!).
See? Awesome style, and I absolutely love her 10 & 2 idea! I need to do that. I know I have items in my closet that I should part with. :) So now it's your turn to go and check out Feathers and Freckles. :) Happy Monday everyone!
P.S. I am still accepting sponsors for October(/November) If you're interested in sponsoring Gentri Lee please go HERE for more info. :)
