While some businesses have fully embraced mobile technology, others have barely given it a thought. In the next few years, mobility will become increasingly important to those wishing to stay in the game.
I recently chatted with John Bruggeman, CMO of Cadence, the electronic design automation firm. Just back from Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, I was talking about the battles in the mobile revolution.
John says there are three significant battles still underway in that sector that have do-or-die stakes for the businesses in the actual battle: the mobile operating system (Nokia, Google, and Microsoft -- the latter making another run at it with a rethought Windows Mobile), the mobile device platform (the usual handset suspects, Apple, and possibly some daring consumer electronics players), and the prevailing semiconductor architecture -- which he sees as boiled down to a question of whether high-performance Intel processors make inroads against the widely used low-power ARM architecture.
Who'll win that third battle, I asked. The ARM platform has a massive lead in the mobile space, its core IP going into the processor for virtually every handset sold in the world. "Intel is smart, has loads of cash, and knows this is a long-term game," said John. "Over the next 5 years, they will co-exist. Beyond that, these two worlds -- low-power handsets and high-performance portable computing -- bleed together. The devices following that time period won't be about fast web page refreshes; they'll be about transactions, making fast hits on cloud-based data. When that happens, our mobile devices will want both low power and performance." Given the time parameters involved, he doesn't count out Intel's push to take its desktop/laptop dominance into the smaller more diffused computing domain.
From that topic we wandered over to one that's a new favorite of mine: that 2010 is the year that mobility as a business issue rises to the boardroom. My logic goes like this:
John bought it -- and he took the thinking a couple of steps further: "The first automation of business in the 20th century happened with the advent of mainframe computing. The central information systems function arose then. The re-automation of business, driven by desktop computing, pushed IT further out into the business and, organizationally, led to the rise of the CIO. What you're talking about -- the rise of mobility as a strategic issue for businesses -- will mean that we'll see the rise of a Chief Mobility Officer."
Fascinating idea, and one Yankee Group will pursue in a research report over the next few months with Josh Holbrook taking the lead. But beware: John followed his prediction of the emergence a new type of corporate CMO with this one: "Sadly, many businesses who take this step will put a networking guy in the job. What they'll need will be an imaginative business person, someone who's able to look at all the activities of the business and re-think them completely."

first positive. Great location near Gourdon and not too far from St Paul de Vence. Rooms have private balcony with table and chairs. The balcony overlooks southern France and the sea.
Beautiful! Room was clean as was the bathroom. Breakfast good. Negative-our room had a smell
of mold as there was some mold on one of the walls. Large window/doors have no screen. No air
condition or fan. Possible problem of flies and misquitos. It was cool at night so didn't have a problem but it could be if you have to leave windows open.

"I'm Walking Behind You" is a popular song written by Billy Reid and published in 1953.[1]
Eddie Fisher's rendition of the song with Sally Sweetland became a number-one hit single on both the Cash Box and Billboard record charts in 1953 in the United States, as well as reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart.[1][2] The recording by Eddie Fisher and Hugo Winterhalter's orchestra and chorus was made on April 7, 1953, and released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-5293 (in USA)[3] and by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog number B 10489.
In the same year, Frank Sinatra released a recording of his own rendition on the album Capitol Collector's Series. This recording, made on April 2, 1953, was also issued as a single by Capitol Records as catalog number 2450.
The original version was probably Dorothy Squires', recorded in the United Kingdom, with the orchestra of Billy Reid, the author of the song.
Also in the UK, Jimmy Young recorded a version on February 3, 1953, which was released by Decca as catalog number F 10080.
Hans Bracke has written German lyrics. The German title is "Die Glocken der Freude". Wolfgang Sauer, Herbert Beckh und das Tanzeorkester des Bayerischer Rundfunks recorded it in Munich on June 6, 1954. The song was released by Electrola as catalog number EG 8029.
A version was also recorded by Webb Pierce, and is included on the album Hideaway Heart produced by The Decca Record Company Ltd. It was released in the UK through its branch company Brunswick, with the catalog number MONO LAT 8540.

About the Book
I take photos of railroad cars daily. I have been doing so for years. I have been fortunate to travel to Japan a lot over the last 12 years. It is only natural that I would take pictures of railraod related items there as well. DENSHA OTAKU is not a benching book, although it does have a fair amount of graffiti within its pages. It is more of a tribute to the rails. Please check the book preview for a good sampling of the contents.

Some time ago, I felt the winds change for a better course—but then now it changed back to its original course. I've been okay for a while, even though I still felt those wounds and scars created. It wasn't as bad as it was before—after things settled down, and the dust fell.
A lot of things felt new. I was happy for once, and there was peace. But…
Violence still prospers enduringly in this heart of mine, it would appear. I cannot rest properly with this in my heart. It would appear that I am split into light and darkness—but how can this be right? They say that darkness cannot be found where light is… But is that always so?
…And now, it would seem I am there again, somewhere that I am unsure of.

There's no shortage of fashion pop up markets these days, especially in the run-up to the Christmas shopping season. The Fashion Collective, for example, which starts today and runs until tomorrow at the Space in Sheung Wan, is gathering home-grown design favourites such as A Boy Named Sue, Square Street and Cameo all under one roof.
These events not only give consumers a chance to escape the cookie-cutter mall environment and discover new brands, but also give independent fashion labels chance to test the waters.
The city's killer rents which, last year, overtook those of New York to claim Hong Kong the title as the city with the most expensive commercial rents, have long been an obstacle to fashion start-ups. But in this age of the internet, an e-commerce website complemented by an occasional pop-up presence is sometimes all a brand needs to get a break.
"A lot of independent brands in Hong Kong don't necessarily have the resources to open their own shop or even have their own studio somewhere that's more accessible to shoppers. It gives them the platform to be around other like-minded creatives and show their designs to customers," says handbag designer Michelle Lai of Mischa.
Lai's brand is proof of the power of pop-up markets. She started participating in Hong Kong pop-ups in 2004, when there were far fewer of them around, featuring her now signature Japanese-inspired hexagonal print. Although her company is now established enough to be stocked at desirable retailers such as Lane Crawford and Kapok and she keeps a showroom office on Wyndham Street, Lai credits the many pop-up appearances with raising brand awareness. "I don't know where the brand would be," she says.
Rishi Chullani, who set up The Dark Knot, a collection of ties that come with matching recommendations for shoes and shirts, is fundraising through a Kickstarter campaign and plans to launch his website next month. In the meantime, he is doing direct sales at pop ups.
"It certainly helps," Chullani says. "The goal if you're starting a business is to use as many distribution channels as possible and, if you're able, to leverage another big concept's audience without any upfront costs. I get exposure to someone else's audience. I get to showcase the brand."
Digital sales and pop ups can be so effective that some brands, like Chullani's, are not planning to have a physical store even three to four years down the line.
"Physical stores usually help really big companies... but even if you're mid-tier company, why would you pay storefront costs? I'd rather pay to build traffic to the site."
New accessories brand Louella Odie is run by mother-daughter pair Karen and Lauren Mead. The Pawn's rooftop market two Sundays ago was the first time they set up a pop-up booth, having launched the brand just three days prior. The collection of silk pocket squares and bags, which sell for about HK$300 and HK$1,000 respectively, are designed by Karen while daughter Lauren takes care of the marketing.
"If we don't sell anything then we get information and feedback. But we have had a couple of sales so we're quite happy. You can look at it as a research opportunity as well," says Karen.
Often the sales that happen at the markets are secondary to the marketing and customer feedback opportunity. It gives labels an opportunity to gauge clientele's reactions to designs and test out product concepts.
"On one side, it's designing a piece of clothing or shoe, the other is actually the commercial to see if it sells and gels with customers," says Lai.
That's not to say independent labels should ignore the numbers. The Pawn's rooftop market was a charity initiative that only took 20 per cent of sales, but most charge a flat booth fee that brands must pay regardless of whether they make a sale.
Jeanine Hsu, who set up Niin jewellery in 2005, has organised several of her own fashion pop-up events in Hong Kong, including one last Wednesday.
"It is difficult because not everyone is happy," says Hsu about trying to organise brands together. "You can never secure that. We worry whether they sell enough or at least break even. A lot of times you can't measure the success numerically."
Lai says: "We did some dire fairs in the beginning and they were a bit of a waste of time. We've paid some expensive rents. I didn't know what was good, what was not. We'd just pretty much do any fair."
The scene for pop-up markets has expanded to different price points, locations and clientele, and although it's not a one-size-fits-all situation for brands, there is probably a place for everyone.
Lai's advice? "See if the brand mix is right for you, the location and people that they're targeting are the people you're looking for. I would always ask who else is participating."

According to the National Institutes of Health's [NIH] stem cell primer, stem cells have the ability to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In many tissues they serve as an internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.
For an industry segment known for both hope and hype, it is no surprise that stem cell therapies are once again making headlines. On July 30, 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA] lifted the clinical hold on Geron Corporation's (NASDAQ:GERN) Phase I trial using its embryonic stem cell-based therapy for the treatment of patients with acute spinal cord injury. Within days of the news, shares of Geron increased more than 30%, going from $4.80 to $6.39.
More recently, StemCells, Inc. (STEM) announced the publication of preclinical data demonstrating that its non-embryonic stem cell therapy was able to restore lost motor function in mice with chronic spinal cord injury. The August 19, 2010, news sent shares of StemCells as high as $1.19 compared to the prior day closing price of $0.87 with volume greater than 17 million shares.
While Geron is already in human trials for the acute phase and StemCells plans to initiate its clinical trial in the chronic setting next year, two competitors vying for the treatment of spinal cord injury using allogeneic approaches ["off-the-shelf," like a traditional pharmaceutical product] highlights yet another risk for investors in the already complex stem cell sector: competition.
In fact, of the mere 15 publicly traded biotechnology companies currently developing stem cell therapies [see Table 1], more than half of them have competing programs in three major disease areas:
- Cardiovascular
- Gastrointestinal
- Central nervous system [CNS]
Accordingly, the purpose of this article is to review the key players in each of these segments and contrast their different approaches.
Cardiovascular – critical limb ischemia
Critical limb ischemia [CLI] is a severe obstruction of the arteries that seriously decreases blood flow to the extremities [hands, feet and legs] and is manifested by pain at rest, non-healing wounds, and tissue necrosis [gangrene].
Three stem cell developers are currently conducting clinical trials with competing approaches for the treatment of CLI:
Aastrom Biosciences, Inc. (ASTM)
Aastrom represents the most advanced clinical stage company that is developing a stem cell therapy for the treatment of CLI. The company is completing a Phase IIb clinical trial in patients with CLI and interim data were presented at the Society for Vascular Surgery annual meeting. Similar to Dendreon Corporation's (NASDAQ:DNDN) personalized vaccine for prostate cancer, Aastrom's procedure is autologous – meaning that a small amount of bone marrow cells are taken from the patient and processed to expand the number of early stem and progenitor cells before being administered to the patient to promote healing of the affected tissues. In July 2010, Aastrom announced plans to pursue a Phase III clinical program for CLI through the FDA's special protocol assessment [SPA] process.
Aldagen, Inc. (private, S-1 filed)
Similar to Aastrom, Aldagen is also developing an autologous product [ALD-301] derived from a patient's bone marrow for the treatment of CLI. In a 21-patient Phase I/II clinical trial, ALD-301 was well tolerated – although four of the 11 patients in the ALD-301 treatment group and two of the 10 patients in the unsorted bone marrow treatment group experienced serious adverse events that investigators determined were related to the underlying disease [CLI]. Accordingly, the company expects to commence enrollment in a Phase II clinical trial in 2010.
Pluristem Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PSTI)
In contrast to the autologous approaches by both Aastrom and Aldagen, Pluristem is conducting a Phase I trial of an allogeneic stem cell therapy for the treatment of CLI. Similar to Celgene Corporation (NASDAQ:CELG), Pluristem obtains stem cells for its product from human placenta. In April 2010, Pluristem reported interim top-line results from Phase I clinical trials of PLX-PAD that demonstrated the cell therapy is potentially safe, well tolerated and effective in patients with CLI. The company is currently planning two Phase IIb trials in CLI.
Cardiovascular – myocardial infarction
Myocardial infarction [MI] or acute myocardial infarction [AMI], commonly known as a heart attack, is the interruption of blood supply to part of the heart, causing heart cells to die. Cardiac muscle cells do not have the ability to regenerate, so if enough dead tissue forms, patients suffer heart failure and may eventually die.
Three stem cell developers are conducting clinical trials with competing approaches for the treatment of AMI:
Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSIR)
Osiris is developing Prochymal, one of the most advanced stem cell therapeutic product candidates for the treatment of AMI. Prochymal is an allogeneic stem cell product derived from bone marrow that is currently being studied in a Phase II clinical trial for the treatment of AMI. Results from the two-year follow-up of the Phase I clinical trial demonstrated that a single dose of Prochymal administered within 10 days after the patient's first AMI was safe and well tolerated. Prochymal also showed significant improvements, including a reduction in chest pain events and cardiac arrhythmias and improvement in cardiac and lung function compared to placebo. Osiris has partnered with Genzyme Corporation (GENZ) for the development and commercialization of Prochymal.
Athersys, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATHX)
Similar to Osiris, Athersys is developing its allogeneic stem cell therapy product, MultiSem®, in collaboration with Angiotech Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of AMI. MultiStem consists of a special class of stem cells obtained from adult bone marrow or other non-embryonic tissue sources. In July 2010, Athersys announced positive results from a Phase I study of Multistem [ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00677222] demonstrating that the product candidate was well-tolerated at all three dose levels studied and also suggested improvement in heart function in treated patients. Athersys and Angiotech are working on plans for a Phase II trial.
Cytori Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CYTX)
In May 2010, Cytori reported results from a European clinical study using its medical device, called the Celution® System, as an autologous treatment for AMI. As part of the company's procedure, small amounts of fat tissue are removed from a patient's abdomen. Stem and regenerative cells are then separated at the point-of-care and subsequently injected into the patient's coronary artery. The six-month results from the fourteen patient, double-blind, placebo controlled trial demonstrated an improvement in the infarct size, the amount of blood supply to the heart muscle, and functional improvement in the amount of blood supply to the heart muscle. Cytori expects to initiate a 150-250 patient pivotal study for European approval in late 2010 or early 2011.
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory disease of the intestines that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, mainly causing abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and weight loss. There is no known pharmaceutical or surgical cure for Crohn's disease and treatment options are restricted to controlling symptoms, maintaining remission, and preventing relapse.
Two stem cell developers are conducting clinical trials with competing approaches for the treatment of Crohn's disease:
Celgene Corporation (CELG)
In April 2010, Celgene Corporation reported positive results from a Phase I study of patients with Crohn's disease receiving PDA-001, an allogeneic stem cell product candidate derived from human placental tissue. The Phase I trial consisted of 12 patients with active moderate-to-severe Crohn's who were unresponsive to at least one prior therapy. Patients received two infusions of PDA-001, with six patients receiving a lower dose of the cells and the remaining six patients receiving a higher concentration. According to the company, the study met its primary safety goal and demonstrated encouraging signs of clinical benefit, including clinical remission among four patients in the low dose group. ClinicalTrials.gov currently lists a Phase IIa study with PDA-001 for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease that is not yet open for patient recruitment [identifier NCT01155362].
Osiris Therapeutics, Inc.
In May 2010, Osiris Therapeutics resumed enrollment in its Phase III trial of Prochymal for treatment-resistant Crohn's disease [ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00482092]. Enrollment was suspended in 2009 over concerns the trial design would make it difficult to detect a treatment effect with its allogeneic stem cell product derived from bone marrow. According to the company, an interim analysis of 207 patients enrolled in the study revealed that the difference between the Prochymal and placebo response rates was consistent with the original statistical assumptions of the protocol in one active arm and is significantly outperforming placebo, although it is not clear whether this active arm is the low or high dose Prochymal group. It is also worth noting that Prochymal previously failed to meet the primary endpoints of two Phase III studies for the treatment of graft-versus-host disease [GVHD].
Central nervous system
Beyond the aforementioned competition between Geron and StemCells in the area of spinal cord injury, two stem cell companies are pursuing treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS], often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease." ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord, resulting in the loss of muscle control and paralysis.
Neuralstem, Inc. (NYSEMKT:CUR)
In September 2009, Neuralstem received FDA approval to commence a Phase I trial to treat patients with ALS using its allogeneic stem cell therapy derived from human spinal cord stem cells. The trial is designed to study the safety of Neuralstem's cells and the surgical procedures and devices required for multiple injections directly into the grey matter of the spinal cord.
The FDA has approved the first stage of the trial, which consists of 12 patients who will receive five-to-ten stem cell injections in the lumbar area of the spinal cord. The patients will be examined at regular intervals post-surgery, with final review of the data to come about 24 months later.
Preclinical work has shown that Neuralstem's cells extended the life of rats with ALS and also reversed paralysis in rats with ischemic spastic paraplegia.
BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics, Inc. [BCLI.OB]
In February 2010, BrainStorm entered into a collaborative agreement with the Hadassah Medical Center to conduct a Phase I/II clinical trial in ALS patients at the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital. BrainStorm's NurOwn™ technology uses stem cells obtained from adult bone marrow and the company's research team is among the first to have successfully achieved the in vitro differentiation of adult bone marrow cells into characteristic neuron-like cells capable of releasing dopamine as well as into astrocyte-like cells capable of releasing several neurotrophic factors, including glial-derived neurotrophic factor [GDNF].
Unlike the injections in the lumbar area of the spinal cord, BrainStorm expects that early ALS subjects will receive intramuscular injections into clinically unaffected [or only mildly affected] upper arm biceps and triceps muscles. Progressive ALS subjects will receive intrathecal cell transplantation via a standard lumbar puncture.
According to the company, BrainStorm initiated manufacturing runs using its proprietary cell growth process in preparation of producing clinical trial materials under good manufacturing practice [GMP] standards at the Hadassah Medical Center GMP facility. Upon completion of this process, the Phase I/II trial for patients with ALS is expected to begin pending approval from the Israeli Ministry of Health, which BrainStorm expects during the second half of 2010.
Given their unique regenerative abilities, stem cells offer new hope for treating cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, CNS, and other diseases. However, with more than half of the 15 publicly traded biotechnology companies currently developing stem cell therapies in three major disease areas, competitive positioning will be an important additional consideration for prospective investors.

McLeod Back in Las Vegas With High Hopes A Year After Red Bull Air Race Victory
Friday, 09 October 2015 14:54
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (USA) – Team Garmin's Pete McLeod returns this weekend to the race track where he pulled off the first and only win of his Red Bull Air Race World Championship career a year ago – in Las Vegas.
The Canadian ace will be trying to avoid the small, irritating penalties that have cost him badly this season in the final race the year on Sunday. A victory in the American gaming capital could lift McLeod all the way from fifth place overall to third. Last year he was fifth overall with 38 points. This year he is fifth with 19 points.
"It's really hard to believe it was a year ago," said McLeod of his win here – awarded to him after heavy winds forced the cancellation of the race. McLeod had won the Qualifying session a day earlier. "It was a huge mess last year with the weather and there was a lot of pressure on me in that situation because I qualified first. We're in a different position this year and a lot of things are different. This race is all about finishing the season on a strong note."
McLeod has gotten on the podium just once this season, a third place in the season opener in Abu Dhabi. But he could take third overall with a win and the 12 points that come with it on Sunday. He has been hurt by an underperforming engine but also getting untimely penalties for such things as exceeding the 10g limit for a fraction of a second too long – pilots are allowed to exceed the 10g limit for just 0.5 second.
"I would like to fly penalty-free without getting some stupid over-g penalty or over-speed penalty or other kinds of calls of that nature," said McLeod, who has also been hurt in the past for just barely exceeding the 370-kph speed limit at the start.
In the last race in Fort Worth, McLeod was having a brilliant run in the Round of Eight and came close to knocking out Britain's Paul Bonhomme in their head-to-head heat. But McLeod exceeded the 10g limit for a fraction of a second too long and was disqualified.
"My net time on the first lap was the fastest first lap on that track ever," said McLeod. "I really had some runs in Fort Worth that were really fast. I was ahead of Paul at that point and feel I could have beaten him out there in Texas, which would have changed things dramatically for the championship."
Indeed, McLeod went packing and Bonhomme went on to win the race in Fort Worth to move eight points ahead of Australia's Matt Hall, who was second in Fort Worth in the world championship race. The title race would have narrowed considerably if McLeod had beaten Bonhomme.
In the battle in Las Vegas for third place overall, Austria's Hannes Arch leads with 30 points, Martin Sonka of the Czech Republic is in fourth with 28 points. There are three more pilots breathing down Arch's back in the race for third – Nigel Lamb (GBR) has 20, McLeod (CAN) and Matthias Dolderer (GER) have 19 each.
"It would be nice to get third overall and hopefully I'll fly well here," said McLeod. "We're already focused on 2016. We'll be looking to put down a fast time every time I'm out in the track."

Chinese ETF set to take a rest according to option bears
Today's tickers: FXI, XLF, DRYS, WMT, CTX, DHI, XHB &XLI
FXI – iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 – Shares are down by more than 1.5% to $29.67 as the broader market takes a rest, weary from the recent rally. FXI popped onto our 'most active by options volume' market scanner after some activity was noted in the May contract. It looks like investors, who may have initially looked to China to help pull us out of economic despair, driving up prices of foreign markets, are now rethinking such notions. Traders sought downside protection on the ETF by picking up 10,000 calls at the May 29 strike price for 2.17 per contract as shares head closer to being at-the-money. Profits will begin to amass if shares decline to the breakeven price of $26.83. Even more pessimistic was the purchase of 15,000 puts at the May 25 strike price for a premium of 85 cents per contract. Such a position will begin to yield profits at $24.15 and below.
XLF – Financial Select Sector SPDR – The financials ETF has slipped more than 1.9% to $9.25 as a number of TARP-recipient and other bank's shares currently appear to be on the decline. Reflecting the downward movement was interest in put-buying in the May contract. The May 7.0 strike witnessed 10,000 puts purchased at an average premium of 34 cents each. The more expensive puts at the May 9.0 were also sought after and traders picked up nearly 5,000 at around 94 cents per contract. In contrast to the bearish plays was a bull call spread initiated by the purchase of 7,500 calls at the May 11 strike price for 50 cents each against the sale of 7,500 calls at the May 13 strike for 14 cents apiece. The call spread strategy indicates that this investor, who paid a net cost of 36 cents for the trade, would profit on a rise in share price through the breakeven point at $11.36. He stands to reel in a maximum profit of 1.64 if shares can rally up $13.00 by expiration. One other trade worth noting was a calendar spread established by the sale of 20,000 calls at the April 11 strike price for 19 cents per contract spread against the purchase of 20,000 calls at the June 11 strike price for 73 cents apiece. Apparently this investor does not believe shares will get to through $11.00 by expiration in April, but is hoping they may rally this summer. Thus, he has partially offset the cost of getting long the calls in June and shelled out 54 cents for the privilege.
DRYS – DryShips, Inc. – The drybulk commodities carrier has experienced a 15% share price rally to $5.90. Though shares initially began the trading day down from yesterday's closing price, the midday rally has inspired call buying in the April contract. At the April 6.0 strike price more than 4,200 calls were purchased for an average premium of 69 cents apiece. The more optimistic April 7.5 strike commanded the highest volume with 12,000 contracts trading hands, 8,000 of which were bought for about 30 cents each.
WMT – Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. – Shares of the retailer are off slightly by less than 1% to $52.70 and investors have painted a positive picture through options activity today. In the near-term April contract traders were seen scooping up 4,000 calls at the 55 strike price for an average price of 64 cents apiece. The April 57.5 strike was also popular with some 2,200 calls bought for a VWAP of 19 cents per contract. But, the April 60 strike really stood out as one investor appears to have established a long position with the purchase of 10,000 calls for a 6 cent premium. Moving ahead, the January 2010 contract was populated with what appears to be a sold straddle at the 60 strike price. The sale of 7,000 calls for 2.69 each combined with the sale of 7,000 puts for a whopping 10.34 per contract yields a gross premium of 13.03 for the trade. Optimally, this investor wants shares to rally by 14% to $60.00 and then settle at that price by expiration next year. If this were to occur he would retain the full 13.03 premium and likely laugh all the way to the bank.
CTX – Centex Corporation – Shares of the residential construction company had rallied about 5% in pre-market trading this morning, but are currently down by 1% to stand at $8.99. Option trades on the company suggest that investors are over the good news released recently regarding the rise in February housing starts and the boost in existing home sales. Traders are once again proceeding with caution on the housing market. One investor picked up 6,000 puts at the April 7.5 for 40 cents apiece and funded the purchase by selling 3,000 calls at the May 10 strike for 1.00 per contract. The investor pockets a 20 cent credit on the trade and establishes downside protection should shares fall beneath $7.50 by expiration. The 20 cent credit is retained in exchange for bearing the risk that shares rebound (above $10.00) as we head into May where this investor is now short 3,000 calls.
DHI – D.R. Horton, Inc. – The homebuilding company's shares had dipped slightly at the opening bell, however have since rallied more than 2% to $11.17. A nearly identical trade to the one observed on Centex was established in the April and May contracts for DHI. Purchasing 6,000 puts at the April 10 strike price for 75 cents apiece and selling 3,000 calls at the May 12.5 strike for 90 cents each indicates that this investor is looking for shares to decline. This investor does not receive a credit for bearing the risk that shares rebound but instead was obliged to shell out 60 cents to initiate the trade. Shares would need to fall by 16% from the current share price in order to breach the breakeven point on the downside at $9.40 by expiration.
XHB – Homebuilders Index Fund SPDR – Shares of the ETF are currently off by about 1.5% to $11.54 as the broader market exhales after the recent rally. Option traders targeted XHB early this morning and were seen following the general pessimistic trend on housing. In the May contract, 1,300 protective puts were purchased at the 10 strike price for 55 cents apiece. This indicates that investors see the opportunity to profit from downward movement in shares beginning at the breakeven point of $9.45. Potentially even more bearish was a trade involving 10,000 puts at the May 8.0 strike price for 17 cents per contract. All 10,000 lots traded to the middle of the market making it difficult to determine the direction of the trade. If they were sold this trader is particularly pessimistic as he would expect profits to amass starting at $7.83, a price which is 12 cents below the 52-week low of $7.95. Finally, one investor was able to bank profits when he closed a long position in the April contract. Back on March 23rd, this individual purchased about 20,000 calls for 41 cents each at the April 11 strike. Today, he was able to pocket profits of 49 cents per contract by selling those same 20,000 in-the-money calls for 90 cents each.
XLI – Industrial Select Sector SPDR – Earlier in the week we noted heavy activity in the industrials ETF as a bull rolled a successful April expiration trade higher, banking profits along the way. Today volume of 16,000 lots has appeared on the bear side of the fence as investors digest an interesting week's worth of news. With equities lower, shares in the industrials ETF are lower by 1.1% at $19.42. Investors paid around 70 cents as they bought put options at the 19.0 strike securing selling rights in the event of further fallout. We're unsure whether this is the work of bulls wary of the strength and fervor of the rally or whether the bears are back in town.

A point of opinion in Diablo II (not sure if hardcore in Diablo III is comparable). Is it ethical to save and quit a hardcore game during a moment where death is not immediate, but is inevitable? That is a scenario where you are completely surrounded with no escape route, can't get into a portal, can't kill the enemies faster than they are killing you, and are running out of healing potions - is it more honorable to die, or is quitting a valid tactic?
I died during this scenario once and when telling a coworker about how frustrating it was to know I was about to die and couldn't do anything about it, he suggested quitting. The thought had not occurred to me at the time, and it made me even more frustrated to think there had been an out I had neglected to take. However, when the scenario presented itself again, and this time I did quit, I felt like I had cheated afterwards and that my still-living hardcore character was illegitimate.
Does anyone else have any thoughts or experience concerning this?

After Sterling's racist remarks and the reaction they got, everyone's wondering about the future of the Clippers.
So when Yahoo reported that the Lakers legend Magic Johnson, who is part owner of Los Angeles Lakers, and his ownership group the Guggenheim Partners, wereinterested in buying the team, many were confident that the sale would go through. In fact, it was they were hoping for.
If @MagicJohnson somehow ends up being a owner of the Clippers = #Priceless ?? — Damien Dante Wayans (@DamienDW)
April 29, 2014
Lakers legend Magic Johnson denied a report that he is interested in buying the Clippers. "I am always going to fight for African-Americans, as well as Latinos ... minorities. I am going to fight for them to the death. That's where I invested my money. That's who I hire."
To NBA Fans, I want to put a stop to a rumor. I am not trying to buy the Clippers, they already have an owner. — Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson)
April 29, 2014
Magic Johnson owning the Clippers wouldn't be new. Based on head to head matchups, Magic owned the Clippers for his entire playing career. — Not Bill Walton (@NotBillWalton)
April 28, 2014
Then @MagicJohnson would come in like superman and buy out the clippers to show that sterling aka the racist pig has no place in the NBA! — Aram Guiragozian (@AramGuiragozian)
April 29, 2014

Whether Johnson buys the Clippers or not, it's high time Sterling is taken out of the equation. He has done enough harm over the years and the team doesn't deserve an owner like him.
One can look as far back as 1983 when prospective Clippers coaching candidate Rollie Massimino recalls Sterling's extremely racist comments and the use of the N-word in an impromptu interview,
"Here's this guy, and he has this blonde bimbo with him, they have a bottle of champagne, they're tanked. And Don looks at me and he says, 'I wanna know why you think you can coach these n*****s.'"
Then there is the 2006 housing discrimination lawsuit against his real estate holdings and rental practices. On this occasion, Sterling refused to rent property to African-Americans.
"That's because of all the blacks in this building, they smell, they're not clean. ... And it's because of all of the Mexicans that just sit around and smoke and drink all day," he is known to have said as an explanation.
He was sued in 2009 by his employee and basketball star Elgin Baylor for employment discrimination.
Sterling is not just racist though, he's also rather inconsiderate.
In 2004, Kim Hughes, then an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Clippers, was diagnosed with prostate cancer and advised immediate surgery by doctors. Lacking funds for the $70,000 procedure, Hughes approached Sterling about his health insurance coverage and was refused. Four players from his team, Chris Kaman, Corey Maggette, Elton Brand and Marko Jaric, chipped in to cover the operation's cost.
One would imagine that a an owner would motivate his team, but one of the players Baron Davis told The New York Post in 2012 of how Sterling broke his spirit, "I just stopped liking basketball. And then you dribbling down the court and having the owner like cuss at you and call you an idiot. I didn't even look forward to coming to the games, and if the owner [Donald Sterling] came to the game, I definitely was not gonna have a good game because it was just like, how do you play when the main heckler in the gym is the owner of the team, and he's telling you how much he hates you and calling out your name?"
So even though the tape that leaked over the weekend with Sterling telling his girlfriend not to bring blacks to the game and the following one with the Clippers owner giving his girlfriend explanations for his racist rant, are shadowed in doubt. His history of racism and irresponsible behavior should be enough to ensure this is the last time he puts his team in such a situation.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Experts say maple producers should be "very careful" if they have to set maple taps in very cold weather.
Tim Perkins of the University of Vermont Proctor Maple Research Center says besides damaging the growth layer of the tree, tapping in extreme cold can also reduce the sap yield by creating a leak. Perkins says not every producer will be out this early, but large operations with more than 10,000 taps "need to go out" because it's a time-consuming process.
Kyle Branon of Branon Family Maple Orchards says trees can withstand this kind of cold but tapping into them during extreme cold risks creating cracks.
Paul Palmer of Palmer Lane Maple says he will wait for warmer temperatures but if he had to tap now, he'd worry about splitting trees.

So I ported callback-js to use almond but it is still using the custom builder code. https://github.com/gtanner/callback-js/tree/almond It was very nice that I could switch this out with no update to any of the modules. Patrick: Would be cool if you could update this to use r.js if it is possible. With my quick experience with almond I have to say I really like what I am seeing and I think it will help us out a lot and give the ability to have plugin's authored in both commonJS and AMD module definitions. (unless I am misunderstanding something).

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Berkeley city officials including police and code enforcement officials paid a visit to the town's infamous, seedy weed speakeasy, 40 Acres Collective, last Tuesday, Berkeleyside reports. Officials were after code violations in the heavily modified warren of connected apartments at 1820 San Pablo Avenue, where the medical marijuana collective has operated for four years, selling pot to members without a permit from the city.
The City of San Leandro went forward last night with the approval of at least one medical cannabis dispensary, according to Ashly McGlone, a Bay Area News Group reporter at the city council meeting Monday night.
#sanleandro council tells staff to proceed w/ draft ord allowing dispensaries. Exact number TBD. Zoning changes will go to BZA & planning
— Ashly McGlone (@AshlyReports) September 17, 2013
Lawful medical and adult-use cannabis businesses cannot take "ordinary and necessary" business tax deductions because of an arcane section of the Internal Revenue Service tax code called 280e.That section threatens efforts to regulate and control the drug, operators and activists say, and should be done away with. Now, far right anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist has jumped on the bandwagon.
A last-ditch effort is underway this week to clarify California medical cannabis laws and get the feds off the state's back. Assemblyman Tom Ammiano and Senate leader Darrell Steinberg gutted and amended Senate Bill 604 on Friday and turned it into legislation that would regulate California's medical cannabis industry.
The bill has to pass the Senate by midnight Thursday, a lighting-quick pace for a piece of legislation that has repeatedly stalled over the last few years. The difference now is the federal government is explicitly urging states like California to enact tight medical pot rules in order to stay out of prosecutors' crosshairs.
"DINO" is political jargon, meaning "Democrat in name only," and it's the perfect term for US Senator Dianne Feinstein, who continues to parrot the die-hard drug warrior line with regard to marijuana law reform.
The Chronicle's Joe Garofoli writes Thursday that during the historic Senate Judiciary hearings on the conflict between federal and state pot law coming up this Tuesday, Feinstein will not be there representing the majority of Californians, even though 54 percent of state residents want to end the failed prohibition on pot.
Feinstein opposed Prop 19 in 2010 and even Proposition 215 in 1996, which legalized medicinal marijuana.
Last week, Talking Points Memo talked up the notion the federal government gives "tacit approval" to Washington and Colorado's programs to tax and regulate cannabis.
UCLA professor and Washington legalization wonk Mark Kleiman calls the evidence "extremely tacit" approval at best in a Thursday post to his blog on SameFacts.com.
"... no one at DoJ has given the government of Colorado any promises of non-interference with the activities of Colorado's licensees. There have been discussions involving state and federal officials, but no negotiations of the 'If you do X and Y we'll let your people alone' variety.
"That seems to me like a big missed opportunity," Kleiman writes. "... had the federal government presented the two state governments with a list of demands there would have been very strong incentives pushing state officials to meet those demands. Once Washington and Colorado have regulations in place and start issuing licenses, retro-fitting the terms of a bargain into that process gets much, much harder."
Award-winning, massively popular weekly public radio show This American Life recently told the story of Mendocino Sheriff Tom Allman's plan to increase public safety and better use scarce law enforcement dollars by issuing permits to legal medical pot growers. The feds, of course, then shut him down.
An Oakland medical cannabis dispensary raided by the DEA, IRS, and US Marshals last year is down but not out, one of our readers reminds us.
Oaskterdam-affiliated Coffee Shop Blue Sky is operating at 1776 Broadway with a permit from the City of Oakland. The permit was renewed June 10, 2013. As one of our kind readers explains in an email: "Granted, it's a shell of its former self, but it's still a legally permitted dispensary."
The City of Oakland now has six operating medical cannabis dispensaries with the August 1 opening of Magnolia Wellness at 161 Adeline Street.
Magnolia joins fellow operators Harborside Health Center, Purple Heart Patient Center, Oakland Organics, Coffee Shop Blue Sky, and Blum.
Magnolia and Blum struggled to find a commercial space to lease, as cannabis remains a federally illegal drug.
The vast majority of San Francisco is off-limits to medical cannabis dispensaries, but that may change, San Francisco Examiner reports today. Supervisor John Avalos wants to revisit the city's 2005 dispensary rules, after the planning department permitted three clubs to open in the Excelsior District - including two on the same block. Dispensaries cluster because more than 90 percent of the city is off-limits to clubs, advocates note.

I have been using these for walking. I have had them a few weeks, no problems. Not fancy, but certainly worth the price I paid.
This was a great price with top quality material and very stylish.
My brother ordered these on line and I paid for them as a gift. He loves them and says they are very comfortable.
These shoes look good and fit, but the insole is not a "cushy" as other Nikes I've owned. I am satisfied with these shoes, but probably won't buy another pair of this model.
My husband had these shoes before and academy had them for sale. He is so happy. Delivery was very fast. Thank you
i'm 62 yrs old and have always bought nike air .love these wide shoes have 2 pair now.
These look really nice. They feel comfortable. I'm not going to wear them to jog in. I'm using them as a campus shoe. They do come a little snug. The pair I have is made of nice quality. Good shoe for guys living in Houston that rely on tennis shoes and shorts when lugging through the humidity.
Bought these about a month ago and I love them! I am a woman and bought men shoes because yal were out of stock in women's and I love them! I have a wider foot so they fit perfectly!
2nd pair of this style. I am lucky to have found this one. Good price and hopefully this one will still be available or the new version will fit my son as well in about 6 months.
Nice shoe, but was expecting a little more comfort. Was a bit tight in width, and not as much cushion as I would have expected for "Air".
Good for all purposes. For use in any of the cases
I've never owned a pair of Nike Shox up until now. I love the arch support and the comfort that the shoes provide.
I kept having reoccuring running injuries. My doctor recommended that I get fitted for shoes and the running store recommended Wave Rider... back when it was #9 and I have been getting the new series each and every year and i've been running strong, injury free ever since.
Great shoe for short runs and gym. I use them for gym and for work.
I run and want something stylish for when I'm not running that still sorta looks like I could use them for running if I wanted to. Actually I'm more concerned with comfort and even leave my shoes extremely loose and I'm able to leave these untied. My feet breathe and feel well supported as I stand on my feet all day for work.
I purchased these as a Christmas gift for my son. He said they are the most comfortable shoes he's ever had. He's on his feet all day, so he needed a wide width that was actually wide and a shoe that allows him to stand all day without discomfort.
I've been using these shoes for about a week and they have been awesome! They give my feet great all-around support stride after stride. I would definitely recommend this shoe if you're an avid Asics user.
Great support - the shoes absorb the shock really well. They are lite weight and have a great heal to toe balance
Bought the shoes three weeks ago and am very satisfied. While I have not been able to use them as much as I wanted, I have found them so far to be comfortable and they give good support. I also like the look,
Comfortable , easy on the heels , breathable , colors blend , use mine for running
I actually went to the store looking for these shoes. The didn't have them in my size and the store manager helped me order these online right from the store. Academy notified me at each step with a tracking number and email of when my shipment would be delivered. They came right to my door on time and in perfect condition. I couldn't ask for more. Thanks, Academy.
I do a lot of walking in the warmer months and this shoe has proven to be perfect for that. I like it so much that I've ordered in three different colorwarys. This shoe is actually more comfortable than some of my more expensive Nike shoes.
I wanted to save them for my half marathon in January but decided to wear them today for a run. I went over 6 miles and they were wiper comfortable. I love them. Also. I am a woman with big feet. For running shoes I don't care men's or women's they were were awesome!
Like the features and the bright yellow color. Use this shoe mainly for casual wear. They're very light and comfortable.
My team recomended these for work since we stand on conctete all day...i am so glad i got them....
just bought a pair of Brooks!!!!! most amazing pair of shoes, i've ever owned!!! I stand all day in one position, moving periodically. my feet hurt so bad, after i took my shoes off. not any more!!! didn't even have to brake them in, either!!! do yourself a favor==purchase a pair
bought that this shoe 6 weeks ago.New Balance is a great shoe.
Both a pair in store. Liked them so much ordered two more pair just in case nb stopped making them
The most comfortable shoes I've ever put on my feet
Awesome shoe lightweight and form fitting I pulled it out of the box and ran 15miles with no socks the same day.
I just got these in today, wore them just a few minutes but I like the way they feel on my feet so far, I bought the ghost 9 also, I'm not sold on the ghost 9 just yet, but will say so far my feet are not hurting much at all since I have been wearing the Brooks shoes, but so far I will have to say the Glycerin 14 is my favorite so far, but I just haven't wore them as much as I have the ghost 9, which are not bad, like I said my feet haven't hurt much since wearing the ghost 9, time will tell, ... but happy as of right now on the glycerin 14
My husband has plantar fasciitis and his feet hurt a lot. He says these shoes make his feet feel much better. They are very comfortable and he is hard to please when it comes to shoes. I think we will be Brooks customers for life.

Thunderstorms are a frequent part of Florida life. They occur in all seasons of the year in Florida, but they are more numerous during the warm season when the wind off the sea flows inland during the afternoon. On an annual basis, communities in Florida usually experience thunderstorms 75 to 105 days per year. In fact, Florida leads the United States annually in the number of thunderstorm days. Out of 100,000 thunderstorms that occur within the United States each year, approximately 1 out of every 10 storms can become severe, causing damage or posing a threat to life. The average thunderstorm contains approximately 275 million gallons of water, which is enough water to fill 416 Olympic-sized swimming pools!
How Nature Builds a Thunderstorm
Three things need to be present in the atmosphere for a thunderstorm to form. First, the atmosphere needs to be unstable. An unstable atmosphere is essentially one where warmer air near the ground will have a tendency to rise higher in the sky, much like a hot air balloon.
Second, there needs to be a source of lift to get the air to rise. This lifting mechanism can be a cold front, winds from another nearby thunderstorm, or even a cooler breeze off the nearby sea, known as a sea breeze boundary. The sea breeze is the most common way thunderstorms get their start during the summer months in Florida. The lifting mechanism acts much like a large plow or shovel that forces the air upwards. Once the lift gets the air to move upwards, then the instability in the atmosphere accelerates the air upwards.
Third, there needs to be enough moisture in the atmosphere to help make clouds as the air rises. Without moisture, no clouds will form even in the presence of lift and an unstable atmosphere.
Florida experiences more thunderstorms than other states because: (1) Florida is located close to large bodies of water that provide moisture; (2) Florida receives plenty of sunlight, which warms the air near the ground and causes unstable air; and (3) Florida has frequent sea breezes that provide lift for the thunderstorms. Without any of these three things, Florida would not have such numerous thunderstorms.
What is a Severe Thunderstorm?
All thunderstorms are dangerous because they produce lightning, gusty winds and heavy rain which can cause flooding. Because of the risk of lightning, a thunderstorm does not have to be classified "severe" by the National Weather Service (NWS) to pose a threat to life. If you can hear thunder, you are at risk of being struck by lightning. When a thunderstorm threatens your location, move indoors quickly and stay away from windows, plumbing, and electrical devices.
According to the NWS, a thunderstorm is severe when it produces wind in excess of 58 miles per hour, hail one inch in diameter or larger, or a tornado. Meteorologists at the Storm Prediction Center may issue a "Watch" if conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms within the next few hours. In a Watch situation, there is no immediate danger, but you should keep a close eye on the weather. NWS meteorologists issue "Warnings" based on what they see occurring using Doppler radar and other tools. A Warning means a very strong thunderstorm in the area is capable of causing damage, and is a threat to life and property. When a Warning is issued, people in the path of the storm should take cover in a well constructed building or storm shelter, preferably in a small central room on the lowest floor with no windows. Persons in mobile homes should leave them to take shelter in a safer structure. In flooding situations, people should seek shelter on higher ground away from flood prone areas.
Tracking Thunderstorms
Your National Weather Service maintains seven Weather Forecast Offices that produce forecasts and severe weather warnings for Florida. These offices are located in Key West, Miami, Tampa, Melbourne, Jacksonville, Tallahassee and Mobile, Alabama. Once thunderstorms form, meteorologists in the NWS offices track their development and severity using weather data from satellites, storm spotter networks, and Doppler radar. Modern Doppler radars can not only tell you where the raindrops are falling, they can tell you which way they are being blown by the winds within the thunderstorm cloud. Using this information, meteorologists can use Doppler radar to detect areas of heavy rain, hail, high winds and even tornadoes. The NWS operates a network of 10 Doppler radars that cover Florida and NWS meteorologists use their knowledge and expertise to prepare forecasts, statements and warnings based on what they see using weather data.

The United Kingdom is, like the United States, a union. And as with many unions political and otherwise, one party in the U.K. wants out. In this case, it's the Scottish National Party, which helped launch a campaign on May 25 entitled 'Yes Scotland' to separate their country from the rest of the U.K. — England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Yet despite the fact that the independence movement is arguably more powerful than ever (Scotland's First Minister, Alex Salmond, is spearheading the campaign), polls show separatists face a Sisyphean task: the boulder that is the Scottish public is 57% opposed to the idea, and shows no sign of budging.
