Tomorrow RadioSM Project Announces Stellar Test Results,
Declares Victory in Multi-Channel HD RadioSM Research
Successful Testing of Supplemental Audio Channel Concept in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Washington, DC Proves the Technology is Viable
LAS VEGAS - NPR® (National Public Radio), Kenwood USA and Harris Corporation, Broadcast Communications Division today revealed the complete, positive results of the 2003 Tomorrow Radio Project field test on supplemental audio channel (SAC) broadcasting to the National Radio Systems Committee. Tomorrow Radio's 2003 field tests prove that multiple program channels are fully attainable using iBiquity's HD Radio FM digital system.
"Multi-casting on SACs is real, and it works better than we anticipated," said Mike Starling, NPR's vice president for engineering and operations. "HD radio is no longer just a hypothetical construct. Tomorrow Radio is here today."
NPR, the leading network and member organization for more than 750 public radio stations in the U.S., initiated Tomorrow Radio in fall 2002 with technology sponsors Harris Corp. and Kenwood USA. Tomorrow Radio is a multi-year research project, funded in part by a $500,000 grant from CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting), that will explore, test and demonstrate technologies and services that are compatible with HD Radio.
Digital radio technology makes it possible to use available spectrum to create more than one programming stream or service through SACs (supplemental audio channels). One of the goals of Tomorrow Radio has been to research how SACs perform under various conditions, and to find out whether splitting a station's spectrum into two channels would still allow those streams to be robust enough to withstand a mobile environment.
Tomorrow Radio's fall/winter 2003 field tests involved four NPR member stations along with NPR's Tomorrow Radio sponsors Kenwood USA (who provided the test receivers and mobile test lab for the field test) and Harris Corp. (who provided transmission equipment to each of the participating field test stations). Field tests were done over seven weeks, with testers spanning 7,500 miles and collecting over a million discrete data points. The testing documented excellent, nearly seamless city-grade coverage for the all-digital SAC under experimental licenses from the FCC.
Tomorrow Radio engineers tested SAC coverage on NPR stations KALW-FM in San Francisco, KKJZ-FM in Long Beach, CA, WETA-FM in Washington, DC and WNYC-FM New York. The results showed that millions of radio listeners in each city would be within range of new SAC signals.
"This technology is key for public radio," Starling continued. "Having the ability to broadcast multiple channels using existing spectrum means that nonprofit radio stations can do more with what they already have, and lessens the pressure to compete for scarce and expensive new frequencies. And listeners could be the biggest winners, with even more public radio and services at their fingertips."
The field tests confirmed that the sound quality of SACs is also robust. With the recent upgrade by iBiquity Digital to HDC audio coding, the sound quality of SACs has been heralded by engineers across the industry as an impressive accomplishment.
"These are the results we hoped for: great coverage and good audio quality with no hint of interference from adding the supplemental audio signals," said Mike Bergman, Kenwood USA's senior manager for digital broadcast. "It's important to note that this is also the first public testing of HD Radio with a production-class receiver like the Kenwood KTC-HR 100, so we have good reason to believe that our customers will really be delighted with this technology."
"When we began our work on digital radio, we realized that the potential for new services for broadcasters would be extensive," said Dale Mowry, vice president, transmission systems, Harris Broadcast Communications Division. "It is extremely gratifying to us to be part of the project as it begins to bring new technology opportunities to fruition."
Tomorrow Radio Project expenses borne by NPR, sponsors Harris Corp. and Kenwood USA and NPR member stations combine to put the total cost of this round of SAC field tests at greater than $1 million.
NPR and Tomorrow Radio sponsors will share the 2003 field test results with the FCC in the next few weeks and seek authority for NPR member stations to begin initial SAC broadcasts. Kenwood USA has indicated product support will promptly follow FCC authorization of the new services.
NPR contracted with noted consulting engineers Hammett & Edison for test plan oversight, data collection and certification of final results. The CPB collaborated on test objectives and provided significant financial support for the Tomorrow Radio Project's extensive field tests.

Advertising Age has once again produced its indispensable guide to the network advertising field, publishing the ad rates for every primetime program on broadcast television.
The most expensive programs to buy an ad for on TV? Not surprisingly, those would be NBC's "Sunday Night Football," at $512,367 and Fox's "American Idol" at $502,900.
As for TV news, the most expensive program is also the most-watched program: the CBS newsmagazine "60 Minutes," which will cost an advertiser $122,075 for a 30 second spot.
Update: NBC's "Rock Center" is not far behind "60 Minutes." The program is brining in $110,000 per 30 second spot, which–as Ad Age's Brian Steinberg notes–is more than many NBC dramas and comedies.
The other TV news programs on the list are:
ABC's "20/20," which costs an average of $67,394. CBS' "48 Hours Mystery," which brings in $43,400 per spot. NBC's "Dateline," with an average of $39,610 and CBS' "Crimetime Saturday," which draws $29,673.
We will have to wait until next year to see how NBC's "Rock Center" stacks up advertising-wise.

The Creation Of A Ronadro Bronze by use of the traditional lost wax casting process
ln the Ronadro studio the master sculptor puts the finishing touches on his latest work
of fine art. With artistic lines and accurate interpretation, this newest sculpture, honoring the
medical profession is now ready for an amazing and commplicated series of events which will
culminate in a richly patined, beautifully conceived and executed work of fine art.
This fragile work of art is carefully
transported to the foundry. The sculpture is to be produced by
Michael Hall's Studio Foundry, in Driftwood, Texas, only seven
miles from the Ronadro studio. Ronadro and Michael Hall have worked closely together since the late 1980's, Hall often
acting as a technical advisor, regarding the intricacies of the molding and bronze casting
process, thus allowing Wicks to achieve remarkable compositions in balance and dynamics,
unattainable by most artists.
Ronadro's original sculpture may initially be created in a wide variety of materials, includlng
plasticine, (an oil based clay) terra cotta or stoneware, (water based clay) plaster, wood or wax.
These diferent mediums allow Ronadro to create the unique texture varieties so recognizable
throughout his collections of fine art.
The lost wax process, also referred to as cire pardue, requires first, the careful engineering of a
quality mold, made from Ronadro's original sculpture. This flexible rubber mold is used to create a
hollow wax copy of the original, which is eventually "lost", at last to be replaced with molten
bronze. Rubber molds, most commonly made from different types of cold molding compounds,
activated by catalyzers, are brushed or poured onto the surface of the original. The mold is
removed, in several sections, if the original art is larger than about hand size. These rubber
mold sections are supported by a plaster caseing, called the "mother mold", allowing the
flexible rubber mold to be held rigid enough, and in perfect form for the wax pouring stage of the
process. The complex network of rubber sections are keyed, all components bound together
within the mother mold, and sealed for pouring. This rubber mold is used each time the artist
desires to create another copy of the sculpture. The series, or reproductions of an original work
of art is termed an edition.
The new mold is now ready for creating a hollow, wax positive, capturing in thumbprint detail,
the exact work originally sculpted. This, and every wax, will ultimately be lost in the "burn-out"
part of the process. Studio Foundry makes and uses a specially formulated pattern casting wax,
which is heated and carefully poured into the mold. The mold is gently rotated to insure an even
coating, always being mindful of surface bubble elimination. The wax may also be brushed into
the open mold for the first coat, after which the mold sections are then closed and bound for
additional wax pourings. Several wax pours at specific temperatures are necessary to develop
the required wall thickness of the wax sculpture, approximately one eighth inch, which must be
relatively uniform to insure a good metal pour. lf the wax is not consistent, thinner areas will
inhibit the smooth flow of the molten bronze, resulting in unseen weaknesses in the final cast,
or even an unusable casting due to voids.
The wax is then given enough time, in the undisturbed mold, to cool, after which it can be
carefully removed from the rubber mold. Chasing, a term which means to clean and re-sculpt, is
done twice, once in the wax and again when the sculpture is in bronze. Wax chasing is done
with heated metal spatulas, knives and assorted wax sculpting tools, allowing the wax chaser to
remove any flashings, or irregular fins of excess material, which may have seeped into tiny gaps
between seams. Spru and vent joins are areas on the sculpture, where the molten wax has been
channelled to fill the sculpture, and where vents have been designed in the mold to allow
trapped air to escape, as the wax is being poured. These areas must also be chased off the
sculpture, along with all other undesired surface irregularities, such as tiny bubbles which must
be filled and re-textured. The wax pouring and chasing specialists at Studio Foundry are all
artists, highly skilled in resurfacing the sculpture, to the exact requirements of Ronadro, often
referring to the original art piece, to be certain of the utmost detail. Finally, the master himself is
often called in to give his approval, and the process continues.
When the wax copy of the original sculpture meets the exacting requirements of the artist and
foundry, a wax sprue system is designed, with a pouring cup, gates and vents, all attached to the
perfect wax. Gates are systematicly positioned along the wax to channel molten bronze into the
casting mold, and vents are engineered to releave air pressure inside the mold, to insure a
smooth flow of metal into every recess, as the sculpture becomes bronze.
creating the casting mold
During the investment process, ceramic shell is built up around the gated and vented wax
sculpture, leaving the pouring cup and vents open, at the top, until the whole assembly is
sufficiently thick enough to contain the weight of the molten bronze. The ceramic shell
investment material, applied by repeated dlpping, begins with a colloidal silica slurry. When wet
with this slurry, dried silica is stuccoed over the entire surface, by means of a rainfall or fluidized
sanding system. Depending on the size and weight of the whole wax assembly, numerous coats
are applied, (usually about eight), in alternating layers of slurry and stucco. The final application
may be reinforced with stainless steel mesh in areas where additional strength is determined
"lost" wax
Now the casting mold is complete and requires removal of the wax within, to make way for the
sculpture to be poured in metal. The entire casting assembly, (called a tree), is then flash
fired as it is placed in the burnout kiln, which has been pre-heated to 1800 degrees fahrenheit.
This high temperature serves both to fuse the ceramic shell and to burn-out the wax entirely,
including the volitilization of any carbon remaining from burned wax. Thusly, we now have a
perfectly clean and very strong, cooling ceramic shell casting mold.
bronze & sculpture unite
The wax burnout leaves a hollow mold, completely devoid of wax and ready to accept the molten
bronze. After close examination for any cracks, and patching if necessary, the ceramic shell
mold is returned to the kiln and brought up to approximately 1400 degrees fahrenheit. At Studio
Foundry, this is a time of reverence and concentration. The work of art has been through
numerous, complicated and time consuming steps to reach this one, critical moment in time.
After the wax burnout and before the bronze pouring, the sculpture no longer exists as an
object, and is defined only by its absence in the casting mold.
While the casting molds are being heated in the kiln, the forced air, gas fired furnace is lit. A
silicon carbide graphite crucible, inside the furnace is charged with bronze ingots. The
composition of bronze used at Studio Foundry is 95% copper, 4% silicon and 1% manganese. lt
is called Everdure Silicon Bronze. ln order to know what quantity of metal is required for this
pouring, a wax weight to metal weight formula is used. The ratio for bronze is approximately ten
pounds for every one pound of wax.
As the bronze ingots in the furnace begin to melt, more ingots are added, charging the crucible
until the desired amount is achieved. Fluxing agents which enhance the pour and trap inpurities
are added toward the end of the melt. The metal is then watched closely as it reaches its
appropriate temperature for pouring, which for bronze is between 1940 degrees and 2200
degrees fahrenheit. The desired pouring temperature is estimated for each mold, based on
various characteristics unique to each sculpture to be poured. When the bronze reaches the
required temperature, the ceramic shells are removed from the hot kiln, and carefully placed on a
bed of sand, stabilized with the pouring cups straight up. The crucible is removed from the
furnace with lift out tongs. The glowing crucible, charged with molten bronze, is placed in a
pouring shank. Any slag or impurities that have floated to the metal's surface are then removed
with a skimmer. A two person team lifts the shank, containing the full crucible and carries it to
the awaiting molds. The pour yard becomes quiet as the crucible is tilted toward the open cup,
and a steady stream of irredescent-gold liquid flows from crucible to mold. Once again, as with
something akin to magic, the sculpture exists as a solid object.
After the pour is complete the molds are allowed to cool. The cooled casting, encased in its
ceramic shell investment, is then devested. Much of this work is done with air tools, switching
to hand chisels as the sculpture's more delicate areas are revealed.
The spruing system with gates and vents, once in wax is now in bronze, must be completely
removed. The surface of the sculpture is chased and retextured, to match the original. Many
works are cast in sections and must be welded back together. When the metal chasing is
complete, with utmost attention paid to every detail with regard to the design and surface quality
of the original, a final sandblasting is performed, removing all oils and contaminates, preparing
the bronze surface areas uniformly for patination.
Patination is the process of applying a patina. Metal coloring, (patining), is not an exact science,
but depends on the technical skill and artistic judgement of the patinuer, working closely with the
sculptor. Patinas are used to create life-likeness in sculpture, and are used symbolicly, in both
abstract and representational contexts, and more generally, to unify and enhance the aesthetics
of a work of art. Although patinas may be thought of as a secondary characteristic of
sculpture, often applied in a process that is distinct from that of creating the art work, in many
cases, it is the key factor in the visual coherence and artistic significance of a piece. Therefore,
a patina is of prime importance.
The long term relationship between sculptor, Ronadro, and the patina specialists at Studio
Foundry contributes greatly to achieve the distinct quality, represented in the often multi-colored,
bronze sculpture created for the Ronadro Collection. Both hot and cold patina applications are
used. Bronze reacts with certain acids and other chemicals, by oxidizing in different colors. For
example, cupric nitrate applied to a hot bronze will oxidize with the metal changing its color to
green. Studio Foundry, well known for its innovative patinas, has developed a broad pallet of
colors exclusively for the Ronadro Collection, some of these effects can only be found in this
collection. The patination process also enhances the ability of the sculpture to sustain the
effects of time and the elements.

The opening round had its share of weirdness for both the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Ottawa Senators. The former was nearly pushed to the brink by the New York Islanders. The latter saw a grown man compared to a walrus by an opponent.
Now, the No. 1 and No. 7 seeds meet in the Eastern Conference semifinals, with a little playoff history between them.
Who wins this second-round battle?
Pittsburgh Penguins (1) vs. Ottawa Senators (7)
May 14: Ottawa Senators at Pittsburgh Penguins, 7:30 p.m. ET.
May 17: Ottawa Senators at Pittsburgh Penguins, 7:30 p.m. ET.
May 19: Pittsburgh Penguins at Ottawa Senators, 7:30 p.m. ET
May 22: Pittsburgh Penguins at Ottawa Senators, 7:30 p.m. ET
May 24: Ottawa Senators at Pittsburgh Penguins* 7:30 p.m. ET
May 26: Pittsburgh Penguins at Ottawa Senators* TBD
May 28: Ottawa Senators at Pittsburgh Penguins* TBD
*if necessary
Sidney Crosby (9 points), Pascal Dupuis (5 goals, 7 points total) and Chris Kunitz (5 points) make up the Penguins' top line, with Crosby averaging 21:43 TOI in five games. Leading scorer Evgeni Malkin's second line with Jarome Iginla (9 points) and James Neal (1 goal in 4 games) can be just as potent. Brandon Sutter struggled a bit in the Islanders series with linemates Brenden Morrow (1 assist) and Matt Cooke. Joe Vitale, Craig Adams and Tyler Kennedy make the most of their limited minutes.
The Senators averaged four goals per game against Montreal, second in the playoffs to the Penguins (4.17). Daniel Alfredsson (six points) led all Sens forwards, and plays on a line with Kyle Turris (5 points) and Cory Conacher (3 goals). The young guns of Mika Zibanejab and Jakob Silfverberg combine with Milan Michalek on the second line. Zack Smith, Chris Neil and Matt Kassian bring the thunder and are going to be a key energy line in this series. Colin Greening, Erik Condra (four points) and the unsung Jean-Gabriel Pageau (3 goals) fill out the forwards.
Advantage: Penguins
The Penguins' Kris Letang and Paul Martin lead the team with six points. Martin and Brooks Oprik are paired, with the latter having had a strong series against the Islanders. Letang, the Pens' ice time leader (27:46), plays with Matt Niskanen. Deryk Engelland and the surprisingly offensive Douglas Murray bring size in the Pens' other pairing.
The Senators have six points from Erik Karlsson so far, as the offensive dynamo is paired with Marc Methot (5 points). Sergei Gonchar (23:04) and Chris Phillips (20:56) make up a pairing that was a combined plus-8 in the first round. Eric Gryba, of the brutal hit on Lars Eller, sees time with Jared Cowen.
Advantage: Even
Tomas Vokoun starts Game 1 for the Penguins after winning consecutive games to close out the Islanders. He stopped 34 of 35 shots to win his only appearance against the Sens this season. One assumes Marc-Andre Fleury will get back into these playoffs for Pittsburgh, but he may have also played himself (.891 save percentage) out of the net.
Craig Anderson was brilliant against the Habs, sporting a 1.80 GAA and a .950 save percentage. That's after a regular season that saw him post a 1.69 GAA and a .941 save percentage. Simply put: Had he not been injured, Anderson would have probably won the Vezina this season.
Advantage : Senators
We live in a world where Pascal Dupuis has as many goals as Crosby and Malkin combined. Meanwhile, raise your hand if you knew what a "Jean-Gabriel Pageau" was before he scored three goals against the Habs?
Dan Bylsma put his stones on the table with swapping out Fleury for Vokoun, and one imagines he'll have another decision. He's a steadying presence on the bench and a good tactician.
Paul MacLean, a.k.a. "bug-eyed fat walrus", has become a cult icon in Ottawa and rightfully so: His personality is as captivating as his coaching, and MacLean is proving to be one hell of a head coach.
Advantage: Even
Pittsburgh's power play (33.3 percent) was the best in the first round; Ottawa's (24 percent) ranked fifth. The Penguins' penalty kill (90 percent) ranked third, while the Senators' (84.2 percent) was eighth. Overall, Pittsburgh has a more lethal special teams unit
Advantage: Penguins
Could it be anything else? Matt Cooke vs. Chris Neil:
Penguins in 6. Expect a hard-fought series and Anderson to steal a game (or two), but this Penguins team needed a scare and got one in the first round. Now, Sid and the boys will get down to business in Round 2.

Maybe something like "only change these according to documented instructions"? Because I believe there are instructions somewhere (RH customer portal?) about when/how to change these.

Published on Jun 14, 2016 Editor's Pick This dramatic film from The Allstate Foundation's Purple Purse and Leo Burnett recreates the real-life story of Lori, a domestic abuse survivor who fought her way out of her "prison" in an ingenious way. Every time she visited a grocery store, she'd add small amounts of cash to checks she wrote, which she would then take home and stash in a place her abusive husband would never find it -- inside her tampon applicators. Over a period of 700 days, she saved up enough money to leave with her children and file for a divorce. The film, "America's Largest Prison Break," is the anchor of a the 2016 Purple Purse campaign "#FreetoWalk," for which actress Kerry Washington serves as ambassador. The Allstate Foundation Purple Purse has devoted more than $50 million to empowering domestic violence victims through financial education and has helped more than 800,000 achieve financial independence. "Financial abuse is an invisible weapon that's just as effective as a lock and key in controlling victims," said Vicky Dinges, senior vice president, corporate responsibility, Allstate Insurance Company in a statement. "Without financial resources, victims remain trapped in homes that feel more like prisons. Our #FreeToWalk campaign brings financial abuse out of the shadows and helps victims gain access to resources they need to break free and to rebuild their lives."

By Adam Shell, USA TODAY
NEW YORK The Wall Street bull is buoyant again. The ka-ching sound coming from the stock market is growing louder as the Dow keeps levitating higher: 7000, 8000, 9000, 10,000, 11,000. Do I hear 12,000?
Investors are becoming more upbeat about the prospects for a sustainable economic recovery. Job offers are replacing pink slips. Shoppers are returning to the malls. Mortgage delinquencies appear to have peaked. CEOs at top companies that make computer chips, extend loans to borrowers and transport packages and other goods via trucks and railroads say business is better and profits are climbing.
All the good news piling up recently prompted Bank of America Merrill Lynch to boost its return projections for the stock market. The firm is now calling for a further rise of 13% over the next 12 months. Stocks are up 76% from the March 2009 low.
Put simply, "Near term, stuff looks good," says Michelle Clayman, chief investment officer at New Amsterdam Partners.
But the long-term outlook is cloudier. Indeed, it is what comes after the immediate burst of economic activity — driven largely by $787 billion in government stimulus money and short-term interest rates near 0% — that still worries Clayman and other skeptical stock strategists and economists. While there is a case to be made for the stock rally continuing, there is also a vocal group of doubters who still contend that the market remains on a shaky foundation in the aftermath of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
Headwinds are plentiful. There's fresh uncertainty surrounding the banking industry after regulators on Friday charged Goldman Sachs with fraud. There's a massive $1.4 trillion federal budget deficit to deal with. There are 8.4 million Americans who lost their jobs in the past two years still in search of a paycheck. There are a handful of states facing a potential Greece-like budget crisis.
There's the specter of rising interest rates and inflation. There's still an overhang of houses for sale from coast to coast. And there's a coming increase in taxes, as additional revenue is needed to pay off the massive government debt and to fund new programs such as President Obama's health care reform.
'There's no free lunch'
Despite the economy's current peppiness, these coming headwinds will likely impede growth and slow the recovery, many skeptics say. And, in the process, put the brakes on what some folks on Wall Street are now calling a stock market "melt-up" that has gone too high too fast.
"There's no free lunch when you build up so much public debt," New York University economics professor Nouriel Roubini said last week at an event hosted by the American Enterprise Institute that addressed the topic "The Deflating Bubble: Is It Over?"
"We will pay one way or another for the mistakes in the past," Roubini said. "At some point, you have to service the debt by either raising taxes or cutting government spending. And that implies slower growth."
The debate between bulls and bears centers on whether the nascent economic rebound will continue once the government's lifeline is taken away.
Stephen Rose, a Georgetown University professor and author of a just-published book, Rebound, rejects the notion that the economic recovery will be shallow and short-lived. He uses history as his guide.
"In the postwar period, we have been very good at rebounding after recessions, and if you try to understand the future by looking at the past, a rebound is what we should expect," Rose says.
And the rebound, Rose argues, won't be jobless, as the naysayers predict. He believes the economy will add 250,000 jobs a month for the next 20 months, or a total of 5 million jobs. The reason for his optimism? He says America is still a nation of risk-takers and entrepreneurs with the motivation and education needed to keep innovating and creating must-have products and services. "We have a 'Let's do new things' motto," Rose says.
The economy, he says, is now moving from a negative feedback loop, in which layoffs led to less demand and even more layoffs, to a positive feedback loop in which companies will start hiring more workers, which will increase demand, which will result in more hiring. Says Rose, "It is just getting started, and once it starts, it will feed on itself."
A stimulus-led bounce
Not everyone agrees that the better headlines of late on the economy are proof that the economy will be able to maintain its momentum once the government starts taking away the punch bowl.
"There is little question the data have been decent," David Rosenberg, chief economist and strategist at Gluskin Sheff, said in a recent note to clients. "But the critical question is, what is causing this recovery in spending and (is it) going to be sustainable going forward?"
Rosenberg believes that what we are seeing is nothing more than a stimulus-led bounce in what remains a downtrend: When the stimulus fades away, so will the economic momentum.
He warns that the market is still facing the risk of another leg down in housing prices and a stubbornly high unemployment rate, currently 9.7%, that won't come down dramatically any time soon. Another big risk, he adds, is how the real estate bubble in China turns out as Beijing tightens its easy-money policies.
Some jobs, and the wages they used to pay, are simply not coming back, he notes. Parts of the economy, such as autos and financials, that were hurt most by the credit crunch, and the resulting more stringent borrowing requirements, will never get back to prior levels.
"The problem is, 30% of the employment pie is not coming back," Rosenberg predicts.
Good fundamentals
For now, the market is moving higher on momentum and good fundamentals. Economic growth, which rebounded 5.9% in the fourth quarter of 2009, is showing continued strength. The economy could grow at a 3% to 4% clip overall in 2010, analysts say. Corporate profits are also coming in strong, with analysts expecting 39% growth in the first quarter of 2010 and growth of 24%, 24% and 32% in the remaining three quarters of the year, Thomson Reuters says. Couple that with still-low short-term interest rates and the fundamentals behind the current rally make sense, says Clayman of New Amsterdam Partners.
The rally is also being fueled by the fact that investors view stocks as a better alternative to real estate, which remains in the doldrums, and cash or bonds, which offer low yields, says Richard Cripps, chief investment officer at Stifel Nicolaus.
Cripps says there is a very simple reason stocks are going up now: "Stocks rise when expectations for the future rise."
But that doesn't mean that the stock market, which hasn't suffered a 10% correction since the bull market began 13 months ago in March 2009, isn't susceptible to a pullback of that magnitude.
"We are due," Cripps says, adding that there have been 92 corrections of 10% or more since 1928, or one every 11 months.
However, stellar first-quarter profit reports from industry bellwethers such as chipmaker Intel, financial giant JPMorgan Chase, package delivery leader UPS and railroad CSX are prompting investors to keep putting money to work in stocks, he says.
The secular, or longer-term, headwinds are what could tip the market toward correction, says Tony Crescenzi, an investment strategist at Pimco, the money management firm that specializes in bond trading and uses the phrase "new normal" to describe the post-bubble world of slower growth and lower investment returns.
These headwinds, such as a shrunken workforce, weaker income growth, massive wealth destruction during the financial crisis, less credit available and higher taxes, will offset many of the short-term tailwinds boosting the market now, he says. Investors burned by the last bear market are more interested in preserving wealth than in shooting for big gains in stocks, which means lower demand and lower return for stocks going forward.
"These headwinds don't necessarily stop the upward movement in the economy or stock market," says Crescenzi. "But they do maybe create constraints or act as guardrails that make it more difficult for the economy to go forward aggressively."
Coming headwinds
Many of those headwinds will begin showing up toward the end of 2010 and stretch into next year. Many economists expect the Federal Reserve to start raising short-term interest rates — now at roughly 0% — later this year.
The cuts that lowered taxes on high-wage earners and capital gains and dividends signed into law by President Bush are set to expire at the end of 2010. The top marginal tax rate will jump to 39.6% from 35%, and the current 15% rate on capital gains and dividends will go back to 20% and 39.6%, respectively, says Dan Clifton, head of policy research at Strategas Research Partners.
Higher taxes on investments "reduces the after-tax rate of return," which could dampen the "animal spirits" of investors, says Clifton. Financial regulation of big banks is also expected to reduce risk-taking, further hurting growth, he says.
"The combination of all these headwinds will have the effect of slowing growth," says Clifton. "The question is how much?"

PARIS Shares of Airbus' parent company surged Monday after the French planemaker snatched a $40 billion U.S. Air Force contract from its American rival, the Boeing Co.
Shares of European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co., rose 7.4 percent to 18.72 euros ($28.39) at midday in Paris, as Boeing shares slid 4.7 percent, or $3.91, to $78.88 in premarket trading.
EADS and its U.S. partner, Los Angeles-based Northrop Grumman, won the contract to build military refueling planes Friday, one of the biggest Pentagon contracts in decades.
It was a blow for Boeing, which had supplied refueling tankers to the Air Force for nearly 50 years, and it was a surprise to Wall Street, defense analysts and U.S. lawmakers.
For EADS, breaking into the world's largest military market opens the door to possible follow-up contracts and fits with CEO Louis Gallois' strategy of reducing the group's dependence on the commercial airliner market.
"It's a really good surprise for the group," said Montsegur Finance fund manager Gregory Moore, who holds EADS shares.
"Even the management didn't have high expectations about winning this contract given that there could have been some industrial protectionism on the side of the Americans."
The announcement provoked fury among U.S. politicians, who objected to the military deal being awarded to an overseas contractor.
"We should have an American tanker built by an American company with American workers," said Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Kan., who represents the district in Wichita where Boeing would have done much of the tanker work. Tiahrt said he will try to reverse the decision.
Air Force Gen. Duncan J. McNabb said the EADS-Northrop Grumman partnership won the competition in part because of the larger size of its aircraft -- the KC-30 tanker -- allowing for more fuel, more cargo and more passengers. Boeing offered a smaller 767-200.
The contract to build up to 179 aircraft is the first of three awards worth up to $100 billion over 30 years.
Addressing labor fears, Gallois said the contract will create jobs on both sides of the Atlantic.
The tanker frame is to be based on the Airbus A330 passenger jet, and final assembly will take place in Mobile, Ala., according to EADS. Civilian Airbus A330 freighters will be assembled there, too.
Europe will play a role in building the tanker, with the nose made in France, the wings in Britain and part of the fuselage in Germany.
The announcement provided some welcome goods news ahead of EADS' 2007 results, to be announced March 11.
Airbus, the planemaker which provides the bulk of EADS' revenue, is in the midst of a restructuring plan that aims to cut 10,000 jobs and recoup some 2 billion euros ($3 billion) in savings by 2010.
The company, which sells its planes in dollars while many of its costs are in euros, has also been struggling with the strength of the euro -- which hit a record high of $1.5238 Friday.
Shares of Northrop Grumman rose 3.4 percent, or $2.65, to $81.26 in premarket trading.

Like guitar solos and incriminating legal papers, cabbage is best when shredded. Stab some sauerkraut with this Groupon
The Deal
- $16 for $30 worth of German cuisine
- See the regular and gluten-free menus
Bavaria Hof Restaurant
The kitchen staff at Bavaria Hof Restaurant aims to satisfy, which is why it pairs every order with a range of sides––from a warming cup of soup to a mound of sauerkraut––in addition to bread dumplings, spaetzle, or fried potatoes. But these are only accoutrements to the house's rich meat dishes. Platters of veal, pork, and beef sausages arrive at tables and are perhaps second only to sauerbraten that has been marinated for five days to pack a flavorful punch. In an effort to cater to everyone, the staff also prepares more than 25 entrees from a gluten-free menu.
The sizable portions are served inside a cozy dining room marked by light-blue upholstered booths and intimate tables. Along the walls, German-style paintings add a splash of color that is illuminated by tavern-style glass lamps hanging from the ceiling.

My Journey from Sugar Burner to Fat Burner - jenn26point2's Primal Journal
new posts
Not hungry this morning. Which is a bummer b/c I have bacon and watermelon to enjoy (boiled eggs are less than enjoyable anymore - guess I'm bored with them).
Planning to run today. I learned that when I do my run, I burn approximately 372 calories. That's 93 gm carbs if each carb is 4 calories. I wanted to know this so I know what to do for carbs on run days. Currently, I'm at about 60 or so carbs a day, which means that some of those calories have to come from fat conversion. Good to know. Not sure what I'll do with that information, but it's good to know.
This morning was really rough. We were running late b/c I had class last night and didn't want to get up (I did, but didn't want to) and my kids were being difficult this morning. Brady didn't want to get dressed and stalled for way too long. Makenna kept taking her shoes off after I put them on. And a sippy cup spilled about 1/4 cup of milk on the floor that I had to wipe up before we could leave. I got frustrated and said "I quit." Brady says "Quit what, Mom?" I said "Being a mom. Being me." I was frustrated and always seem to say things I shouldn't say when I'm frustrated. I then said "Brady, go to the car so we can leave." He says "You're not going to be my mom anymore?" I told him I will if he helps to make being a mom easier because they make it too difficult in the mornings. He said he was sorry for being difficult and would listen better in the mornings. I swear I told him 8 times to get dressed. And what did he do? He put his underwear on his head instead of on his butt... in any other situation, that would be funny, but not when we're late and I've already asked him too many times to get ready. Then Makenna kept taking her shoes off and having little tandrums all morning long. I finally got fed up after the 3rd time putting her shoes back on that I gave her butt a little swat - probably felt like nothing through the diaper. Of course, she cried, but straightened up immediately following that. Seriously, I don't know why getting dressed and walking out the door is so difficult each morning. There's no need for it. We get up plenty early to get out the door on time if everyone cooperates, and most days we're fine. But there are just those days where I want to say to hell with it all and go away for a while... like to Aruba or something... for just a few hours.
Clean eats on tap for today. Sitting at 188. Run planned for today. And training at work. I have to get a class done that I signed up for a few weeks ago. I've put it off too long and have to finish in the next week. I can do it, just have to actually do it...
It's only up from where you started! Happy thoughts!1. Love ME no matter what noises are screaming at me, or who is trying to tear me down.

hello all... Just checking in. I really don't have anything to talk about... well, actually I do, but I don't know that you'd all be interested. It's job stuff. I'm considering changing my project for school b/c the professor says the project assigned was not a "graduate level" difficulty, wasn't challenging enough or complex enough to accomplish the objectives of the class as it didn't require a team to be formed, budgets to be determined, etc. So, I'm looking at something else, but I don't even know if this something else is going to happen, so I have to talk to my supervisor about it. The overall project (a remodel) has an estimated cost of $700,000, but the biggest obstacle will be relocating 90 people who literally work in a vault into another secured area where they can work for a year while the renovation is underway. I have some ideas, but it'll require moving more than 90 people - upwards of 150-200 people to make it all work and it'll cost a lot of money. Because of the $700,000 renovation price tag the whole thing may not happen, so I have to talk to my supervisor first...
I'm also considering going back to school for a second masters once I complete my current masters degree. It'll probably be some time before I pursue the second. I'm looking at adding HR education because it seems like everyone wants MBA grads. My degree is Organizational Leadership (creating and effecting change in the workplace) and it's not a very well known master's program so it's not listed on many websites as a sought after asset for workers.
I did however put in for a job at John Deere (Forestry division). It's a Commodities Specialist position. We'll see how it goes. I feel like I'm qualified based on my experience. Of course, it required me to rearrange my resume to list my most relavent work experience first, rather than listing it chronologically. Hopefully I get a hit on it. And hopefully it'll pay the same (if not better) than my current job!
Anyhow... I've got work to do, so I'll talk to you all later.
Hey Jenn - sounds like a lot happening there! I hope you can get the project nailed down........ and a second masters? thats ambitious! I don't know how you're doing all that you do now! Family and home, work, masters and running! Reading your journal makes me tired! I'm at the other end of life I guess. Time to start planning for retirement! I was going to get my masters in counseling - but life got in the way. Now at 52, I really don't want to go $40K in debt for a career that may not even last long enough to pay off those student loans! But - I'll happily watch you on your journey!1. Love ME no matter what noises are screaming at me, or who is trying to tear me down.

If my employer didn't pay for advanced education, I wouldn't have started the first, much less considered a second.
Still thinking about the additional classes... not really thinking hard about it at this point. But the thought is there.
Tried running again today. My piriformis muscle is really kicking my ass (not literally, but it does reside in the butt). it's pinching the sciatic nerve, which is making the area to the outside of my achille's hurt. It feels bruised. And it hurts to run, which throws off my gait. I used a volleyball to roll out my piriformis muscle instead (Foam Rolling for the Piriformis | Exercises For Injuries) because I didn't have a foam roll available. It works about the same. Anyway, my right piriformis is worse than my left, which is unusual b/c the left is usually where I feel the sciatic pain. Rolling gave me some relief, but not enough lasting relief that I'd be able to go running again. I was able to run 3 intervals before I called it quits. I'll roll again tonight and the rest of this week, and if it doesn't improve, I'll go see Dr. Lake again to have her do her digging to work it out. She worked on my left in April/May-ish timeframe and it has been good since.
I gave up my Whole30. As much as I was trying to convince myself, I just couldn't get myself to believe that I was actually trying to be Whole30. I was giving in to the cravings for sugar left and right. I finally pulled the plug this weekend. They had ice cream at the race track this weekend as part of the Little Racer Car Club, which is a club for kids to get them involved with racing. The club was given 39 gallons of ice cream from local drivers, fans, and businesses to promote the club. I had vanilla and poured some dew over it. I love me a dew float! Anyhow, at that moment, I decided my Whole30 is over. No sense in lying to myself about what I was doing.
And surprisingly, I haven't felt too terrible. I don't know... maybe I've just gotten used to the bloat already. Nah, just kidding. My jeans are still fitting nicely, if not a bit more loosely, so I know I'm not overly bloated. But if I'm not careful, it won't take long to get back there.
Tomorrow is a LHT day. I'm going to work on biceps, triceps, chest (maybe) and back (maybe). My primary focus will be on tris and bis. I want GUNS! Sexy, sleek, toned guns! And since my left arm is weaker than my right (it must be b/c I carry Makenna on the right arm), I'll be sure to focus on completing all the repetitions on the left side. Hopefully I don't make it hurt like it did last time! That was scary b/c I thought I had injured it. Even moving my arm while walking hurt. I'll reduce the weight a bit and do the BFL pyramids again. Those babies always produce results.
A couple that works here just brought in their new baby. She's just into the 8 lbs range. She is so stinking adorable and makes me wish my baby girl was still so little. I don't miss the frequent feedings and early morning wake ups, but I do miss having an infant for the blessed moments like first smiles, cuddles, etc. I pretty much decided that for the time being I am done having kids, but would not be opposed to having another baby a few years down the road. Of course, I'm 32 now so the likelihood that my body will allow for a safe pregnancy will be slimmer down the road, but I have an aunt who's nearing 40 and she just had a baby, so why not me?? (her oldest just graduated high school and her youngest hasn't even turned 1 yet) I would prefer my kids to be older so that I don't feel like I'm neglecting them by having another baby. So, not now, but maybe in 5 years or so. Kenna will be 7 by then, and Brady 9. Believe it or not, I know quite a few people who have done this very thing. Had two, then waited a few years and had two more. If it's in the cards, it'll happen when it's supposed to.
Anyhow, I suppose that's enough rambling for now... I hope everyone's having a good day.
Oh, and I took "before" pics of my keratinosis. I've read that reducing sugar and moisturizing will reduce the occurance... of course, sugar has been making frequent appearances in my diet, but the moisturizing should become a key factor as well. I picked up a jar of refined coconut oil to use. I've read coconut oil is good for hydrating skin, and I got the refined so I don't constantly want to gnaw on my coconutty scented arms. We'll see how it all works out. So far, since Friday, I have only "moisturized" once... lol
I believe that (especially with such a healthy diet as primal/paleo can be) you could safely have a child up to or even after the age of 40, so no worries there. Take care of yourself now, and your debts and maybe it'll happen!
I remembered this recently when I was having baby dreams again. If Boyfriend and I get married and travel after he graduates, I'd be fine with waiting to have kids till my early or mid 30s. After that, though, even with a healthy diet, I worry about the risk of Down syndrome. My mom was 43 when she had my brother, which is rather a significant difference to 35, though.Depression Lies
I also worry about Down's, which is a significant implication with having children later in life. That may keep me from having any more kids all together... we'll see how things shake out as we go on.
As for debts, if we stay the course we're on now, we should start to work on our very last debt (not including our mortgage or student loans) in December 2015. Our daughter will be in Kindergarten then... *sad face* But, it's only 2 1/2 years from now which is a pretty significant pace considering the size of our debts. Not to mention, this plan does not account for overtime, bonuses, or pay raises. Any of those will simply make the time spent snowballing shorter. Our very last debt will be a loan for a car that we intend to buy in the next year or so for me to drive. We wish to wait until we get some stuff paid off before we take on another debt - namely the personal loan and the trailer loan. But there is thinking in the works that we'll pay off our credit cards first instead of paying off tangible items. I considered paying off tangible items first b/c then we'd have more "equity" and net worth, but he says we'll compound more interest on our credit cards doing it that way and it's more beneficial for us to eliminate that debt first. I intend to recreate my debt snowball to pay off credit first, then tangible items to see which is more beneficial to us financially. Everything out there says to pay off high interest stuff first, but Dave Ramsey, the financial genius of the world, says to pay off debts in order of smallest to largest principle to gain momentum and be motivated by paying things off quickly, rather than saving money in the long run.
To illustrate, our one credit card has a balance of $10,000 at an interest rate of 20.99% or something really crappy like that. It'll take us longer to pay that off if we don't have smaller paid off debt payments to add to it. Say we have a small $3,000 loan (which we do) that we pay $100 a month on (which we do). If we pay that off first, we'll be able to add $100 to our credit card payment each month, wheres if we simply concentrate on the high interest card and don't have any extra money to pay toward it, we'll literally never get anywhere until we pay off our small debts first and use those payments.
Anyhow, I'll have to figure it out. I'll probably look at credit first, but take them smallest balance to largest balance. Pay off the little credit card debts, then use that money to chisel away more at the bigger ones. I'll see how it shakes out... but honestly, I don't think that 20.99% card will be my priority right now. I think I'll focus on the two cards with 0% introductory offers and get them gone first, then snowball the piss out of the 20.99% card... I just won't tell him that is the order I'm taking them b/c he'll argue that big interest needs to go first...
Ya know?
I will respectfully disagree with Dave Ramsay. There is a psychological advantage to his method, but there's also a psychological advantage to what your hubby wants to do AND a monetary one. Not all experts agree with him on that point. Why don't you roll your higher-interest debt into the 0% account? That's what we did when we were in a squeeze and it helped a lot. We got it all paid off too.
Re sugar, would it work for you to allow yourself a once-weekly, moderate splurge, say a single scoop of ice cream with some Mountain Dew on it? Would that help you resist the sugar cravings the rest of the week?5'2", 55 years, Primal since April. Pre-Primal weight loss, from 216.6 to 157.8

Can't. My 0% account is only for $7k and is full. Not gonna get $10k to fit on that... And until we get some stuff paid off, we're at the top of our debt ratio, so no getting another loan. Already checked with the credit union for a line of credit to pay it off.
I'll crunch the numbers and see what I can do. Sadly, home financial management with a stupendous turn around won't get me anywhere in the business world... Surely home management and planning should be good for something in the workforce, but no... >.<
Ok, refigured it with the credit cards first, in order of smallest to largest balance. We will be paying off all of our debts a whole 2 weeks earlier. The difference in interest paid is astounding though. $2073.43 is the interest savings. I guess I would expect to pay things off a bit faster with so much uncharged interest... let me re-add that... Ok, now I get 1436.28 in savings... We'll try this a third time... Ok, got 2073.43 again... guess that's the final answer... however, I'm not seeing that savings in our budget given the fact that we're paying things off 2 weeks earlier as opposed to like say a month earlier. I would expect our final debt payment to be a month sooner given this savings...
Anyhow, the numbers say there's a savings and the payments end sooner, so I'll go the credit cards first route. I may do a bit more tinkering though b/c I still have a small loan in front of the credit cards. It's a loan for 3k. I'd really like to see that one go b/c it's a business loan for turn 3 graphics and we sold everything. I'd really rather not have a loan for something we no longer possess hanging over our heads. But... it is only $100 a month, so maybe it won't make a huge difference (or maybe it will) by moving it back in the cue. I'll do some more playing.
Ok, even better. Total interest savings is 2385.16 and we pay everything off one month sooner than the original tangible goods before credit cards approach. Guess we'll be doing the credit cards first. Our first credit card will be paid off in October (refrigerator and toolbox from Lowe's). The next credit card paid off will be my credit card at 0% interest in May 2013. We'll actually go one month beyond the interest free period, but the interest accrued will only be $16.97.
Ok... that's the plan. lol Our last debt payment, excluding student loans and mortgage will be made on October 24, 2015.
I really need to learn time management skills... For tonight I have to write a 3 page paper on material I haven't finished reading. By Thursday I have 7 chapters to read, but I don't think there is anything I have to do with them - just read them. By Friday, I have to complete an online training at work, which will take some time. *sigh*
Luckily, I'm only 14 pages away from having the material for tonight read... the paper is 3 pages, single spaced over material that I don't really feel like I absorbed, but will find a way to write about. But, from 12:30 to 2 pm, I have a meeting I have to sit in.
So I'm skipping the gym. Hoping I can get this reading done before the meeting and then write my paper after the meeting. Then tomorrow, since I don't have to do anything with the material I'm supposed to read for my other class, I'll instead work on my training at work and hopefully finish, but it's boring material... blah!

Bill O'Reilly said that gays have "the compelling argument" in the same-sex marriage debate, and that opponents just "thump the bible." He hasn't always sounded so amenable, however.
Bill O'Reilly laid out the reasons that opponents of gay marriage are struggling more and more to make their case.
"The compelling argument is on the side of homosexuals," O'Reilly said on Fox on Tuesday. "That's where the compelling argument is. 'We're Americans. We just want to be treated like everybody else.' That's a compelling argument, and to deny that, you have got to have a very strong argument on the other side. The argument on the other side hasn't been able to do anything but thump the Bible.
So, Bill O'Reilly has changed with the times. It's a little sickening, but heartening at the same time. If he doesn't feel comfortable gay-bashing, it's one more sign that change toward equality is afoot.

I was very pleased with the hotel and amenities! The room was nice, the staff was excellent, and the location was fabulous!! Only thing I didn't like was that we couldn't get the television to work and the electrical plugs in one of the bedrooms did not work. But overall Great Hotel!!
Best place for vacation on South Beach!!! Weed friendly
Small hotel tucked into a busy Miami street. Hard to find initially. But don't let the exterior and old elevator deter you away. It's a beautiful small hotel with a very modern and clean look. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again!
I stayed here with my older son, my two younger children, and granddaughter. We all stayed in one room which had two queen-sized beds with white down comforters and a pull out sofa bed. The room was big enough for all of u and really comfortable. They provided two bottles of water and chips, daily. ...
I enjoyed my stay and the amenities offered. This is a great place to stay if you are focused on going to the beach and enjoying the nightlife. Only complaint was that the housekeeping took my beach towel while organizing the room. I could not get my towel card without it and it ended up costing ...
I absolutely enjoyed myself at the Gaythering for my birthday. Everything was awesome and so accommodating.
The hotel is old but recently renovated so it is confortable and very modernly decorated. The staff is nice and friendly.
I was very pleased with the room. Very quiet hotel. Great stay.
Interesting rooms that have been updated. My room was clean. There were not a lot of guests so it was quiet except for the ceiling fan which I didn't use since I used the air conditioner. Great location in South Beach. Valet parking was ok except it takes 30 minutes to retrieve your car. One drawback ...

Turn up the heat on your next trip to Miami, Florida, without breaking the bank.
