And while we are going to say goodbye to some great shows this year (Goodbye Fringe! Goodbye 30 Rock! Goodbye The Office!), we look forward to some promising new series, including The Americans, The Following, and Family Tree. Fire up the DVR, winter television has begun!

There's not a lot of change on Wednesday nights. There are a couple new ABC sitcoms (neither of which are particularly great) and American Idol returns, but other than that, things pretty much are the same as the fall season. Southland fans will be happy to learn that it is finally coming back, so there's that.
We will be blogging American Idol and Supernatural, and watching Modern Family, Suburgatory, Nashville and Ghost Hunters (don't judge us).
What will you be watching?
An incompetent man-child takes over his father's business after his father suffers a heart attack. Look, this isn't a bad show, it's just not great. J.K. Simmons is in it, and he's always good, so there's that. But the May 1st premiere date suggests that ABC also lacks confidence in this series.
How to Live with Your Parents for the Rest of Your Life
This is another mediocre sitcom about a single mother who moves back in with her parents after a divorce. It's such a strong cast — Brad Garrett! Sarah Chalke! Elizabeth Perkins! I love all these people! — and yet, I found the material rather weak. I'm going to give this one a little time to grow, but I'm not hopeful.

We'd heard that credit card information can fetch as little as $1.50 on the open market, but we never really thought about what the experience of actually purchasing the info was like. Well, it turns out that buying a stolen credit card is a process riddled with fees. Who knew?
Brian Krebs started out by opening an account on a site that sells card numbers stolen from computers infected with trojans. He soon found out that being a scammer doesn't mean you won't be nickel and dimed.
The trouble is, the minute you seek to narrow your search using the built-in tools, the site starts adding all these extra convenience fees (sound familiar?). For example, if I wanted to buy a card stolen from anyone around the Washington, D.C. area, it would probably be from a resident of McLean, Va., which is more or less a tony place where there are plenty of well-to-do folk. Anyway, the site found me a card (a MasterCard) belonging to a McLean resident alright, but then the service wanted to tack on an extra $.60 just because I isolated my search by city and state — raising the cost in my shopping cart to $2.10! No way, Jose. Not this bargain shopper!
Oh, and as the commenters on BoingBoing pointed out — No, the site doesn't accept credit card payments for stolen credit card numbers.

Texas Education Board Chair Kicks Off Hearings: There Is No War On Christmas
On the substantive front, chair Gail Lowe kicked off the social studies discussion by seeking to tamp down the outrage over the deletion of Christmas in a 6th grade world culture curriculum. It was replaced by Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, and Easter was to represent Christian holidays.
"I recognize a 6th grade work group has recommended the removal of Christmas," Lowe said. "Before we proceed any farther, I am very doubtful that that recommendation will stand."
After some talk of the place of Thurgood Marshall and Cesar Chavez in the standards, the president of the Texas Freedom Network, which is opposing right-wing influence on the new standards, got up and slammed the outside experts appointed by the GOP-controlled board.
"It looks like on the one hand you have appointed accomplished academics," said Kathy Miller. And "on the other hand you have appointed what can only be considered political advocates. Giving them equal weight demonstrates a deep flaw in the process."
As we noted yesterday, two of the six experts, who guide the standards writing process, are Rev. Peter Marshall, an evangelical minister, and David Barton, president of WallBuilders, which pushes Christian-oriented interpretations of history. In his review of the proposed standards, Barton declared the deletion of Christmas an affront to "the Free-Market nature of America."
Miller added, in an apparent reference to Barton, whose degree is in religious education: "I do have a bachelors degree in the social sciences, unlike a couple of your experts."
Barton is expected to testify later -- we'll let you know if he responds.
Late Update: Here's the video of the remarks by Lowe and Miller:

Major code error need help!!!
When the for loop places values in the array (below) it seems to work fine. However, when the program gets out of the for loop, for whatever reason, only the last phone number is written to the file by the output stream. Could this be something to do with my toString() method? Please help! I don't know what's going on with this. I've included the Constructor that is called in the for loop and the toString method that is used to write back to the file.
Java Code:inputStream.close();//closes inputStream from earlier usage. TelephoneNumber[]array = new TelephoneNumber[10]; inputStream = new Scanner(new File(fileName)); for(int i = 0;inputStream.hasNextLine();i++){ String line = inputStream.nextLine(); array[i]=new TelephoneNumber(line); }//end for PrintWriter outputStream = new PrintWriter(fileName); for(int i=0; i<array.length;i++){ outputStream.println(array[i]); }//end for outputStream.close();
Java Code:public TelephoneNumber(String phoneNumber){ Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(\\d{3})-(\\d{3})-(\\d{4})"); Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(phoneNumber); try { if(!matcher.matches()){ pattern = Pattern.compile("(\\d{3})-(\\d{4})"); matcher = pattern.matcher(phoneNumber); if (!matcher.matches()) throw new InvalidPhoneException(); else { areaCode = 0; exchangeCode = Integer.parseInt(matcher.group(1)); number = Integer.parseInt(matcher.group(2)); } } else { areaCode = Integer.parseInt(matcher.group(1)); exchangeCode = Integer.parseInt(matcher.group(2)); number = Integer.parseInt(matcher.group(3)); } } catch(InvalidPhoneException e){ System.out.println(e.getMessage()); System.exit(0); } }//end constructor public String toString(){ if(areaCode!=0) return areaCode+"-"+exchangeCode+"-"+number; else return exchangeCode+"-"+number; }

My grandfather, who served in President Dwight Eisenhower's Cabinet as Secretary of Agriculture, used to say, "Hit pigeons flutter" — meaning if you draw a bead on a bird perched on a telephone line, squeeze the trigger and nothing happens, you've missed your target. The hit ones flutter.
This has been a banner year for fluttering bird feathers.
In more than 30 years of drawing editorial cartoons, I've had the pleasure of watching battalions of political clowns march into the circus ring and get booted out. Through it all, I've enjoyed drawing on their comedy-hour antics. Like satirist Will Rogers observed, "There is no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you."
Maybe this year it's something in the water that accounts for the level of wigged-out, vitriolic, ugly reaction.
Spasms from the fringe over cartoons — cartoons, mind you — prove that goofiness is alive and well in the Grand Goober State. (I'm trying to be kind here but I'm a political cartoonist. It's not my job to be Mother Teresa to the Huns, especially when they're pouring vats of burning oil on the little people.)
I can best chronicle this year's tsunami of insanity by sharing a few emails that have come my way during the course of this election season, sent by readers disgruntled over doodles that did not make their day, as GOP convention star Clint Eastwood would put it.
Less than two weeks out from the November election, I received 89 phone calls in just over an hour from one Valley resident specializing in tonsil-spitting profanity. Since his interruptions were putting a crimp in my deadline efforts, I asked for a call log and then phoned this purple-faced phone perp, noting the number of times he had dropped F-bombs and politely told him to cease and desist his harassment.
His reply: "How is that harassment?"
Race-baiting brain surgeons lined up in protest over cartoons that cramped their craniums. One self-described "26-year-old female revolutionary" wrote to say White guys established the good ol' U.S. of A. (Never mind the Native Americans they massacred in order to do it). America, she said, was a lot better off when it was under the moral beacon of "The Andy Griffith Show":
"Why do liberals blame everything on the angry White man? After all, it is the angry White man who founded, settled and built this country. . . . This nation thrived in its 'Andy' and 'Opie' and 'Leave it to Beaver' era. How can subsidizing 30 million squatters who are incompatible with the citizenry benefit America, I ask?"
I ask, where do such wacky letter-writers come from?
A like-minded "Better-Reb-Than-Dead" chimed in, putting me on notice of a coming War Between the States II. It would be sparked (at least in part) by evil cartoonists, he wrote:
" you are a socialist who has bought into this nonsense, thinking you will be immune, or protected, all your doing is feeding the diversity that will result in a split in this country and another civil war, only this time a lot more guys will be in gray, and we will win! i gurantee it. ... if your stuff was only a cartoon to entertain kids or sunday paper buffs it would be acceptable, but it's propaganda, and it influences a lot of ignorant gullible people." (Original spelling and stuff).
All I'm doing is "feeding the diversity?" That sounds like a good thing.
But never mind. Line up the cartoonists. We're all being shot at dawn.
Then there are those who refuse to accept that Obama won re-election with any kind of measurable voter-signaled mandate:
"You . . . know that his largest demographic is the ignorant. Your cartoon . . . is so profoundly ridiculous. . . . [It] hit the button of incredulity. I can't be the only person that writes to you about the tripe you call commentary."
Cartoon commentary you can count on to drive 'em nuts or at least incredulous.
I suppose I should've seen this coming years ago when readers wrote to inform me they had me pegged:
Said one: "Your cartoons indicate you are a radical leftist liberal socialist."
Another equally-fervent observer labeled me "a typical Republican sycophant."
Then this warning:
"You used to be good. Now you've lost it. Get ready to hear from the FBI."
Bring on another year, please. This is all just too good to pass up.

Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough was on CNBC this afternoon discussing the market meltdown and what is next for the global financial system. You can watch the clip here:
http://www.hedgeye.com/unlocked_ideas/12292 (copy and paste the link into your web browser to view)
This evening Keith will be joining Larry Kudlow on The Kudlow Report at 7pm eastern to accost more stock market bulls with our view that inflation is accelerating and growth is slowing.
The key points Keith will be highlighting tonight include:
1. Global Stock Markets - have been giving us Global Growth Slowing signals for 6 weeks – today's China news shouldn't be new news to anyone paying attention (we've been short Emerging Markets for the better part of 2011 and making money doing it)
2. US Stock Market – casino is as casino does. The correlation risk between stocks and the USD is surreal right now – thanks go out to The Bernank. Sadly, your buy-the-dip stock promoter can't afford what this country really needs: inflation slowing via a strong dollar (like you had today).
3. Correction or crash? - we've been calling for a 3-6% correction since FUND FLOWS PEAKED in the week of February 14th – be my valentine little perma bull – here's the 1st 3.5% of that correction. Our intermediate term downside support target for the S&P500 remains 1265.
4. Oil – trade it with a bullish bias. We sold our LONG OIL position on Monday and bought it back today. We want to be long the Day of Rage and continue to think that the Middle East will be a longer term story than consensus thinks. Any oil price > $90/barrel is a significant consumption TAX on US Growth.
5. US Economic Growth – sell-side forecasts for 2011 and beyond are still too high – US GDP of sub 3% for 2011 at oil > $90/barrel.
-Your Hedgeye Risk Management Team
Much ado about nothing.
As we mentioned in our note, GENTING SING: GOOD > BAD (3/1/11), we believe the sell side is overly concerned with Genting's seemingly large receivable in 4Q. When looking at it within the context of high growth in VIP direct volume, Genting's receivable doesn't look unusual. As the charts below show, Genting's 4Q receivable is 2.6% of direct rolling volume, which is actually lower than Marina Bay Sand's 3.1%. When compared to some of the Macau operators, Genting's receivables are pretty much in-line.
So, take a deep breath, sell side. For now, receivables shouldn't be a worry, though a continuation of stagnant mass growth in Singapore may be.

Risk Managed Long Term Investing for Pros
Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough handpicks the "best of the best" long and short ideas delivered to him by our team of over 30 research analysts across myriad sectors.
Conclusion: The U.S. deficit issue continues to accelerate. February 2011 was the largest monthly deficit ever, and ever is a long time.
Position: Short the U.S. Dollar via the etf UUP
Due to seasonality, February is typically a bad month for the federal budget deficit. In fact, before February 2011, the prior worst monthly deficit on record was February 2010. According to estimates from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Federal budget deficit for February was $223BN which is an increase of about 1% from February 2010.
Revenues actually grew year-over-year by 3%, which is marginally positive. This is also the 10th straight month of year-over-year revenue increases. On the flip side, and despite all of spending cut rhetoric, expenditures were up 5% from February 2010. The key driver here was a $4BN increase in interest expense, which was a function of more debt and marginally higher rates.
In the table below, we've outlined the year-to-date deficit numbers compared to 2010. As usual, we've normalized for one time expenditures, such as TARP. While revenues are showing a decent increase on a year-over-year basis, spending continues to accelerate and is up more than 5.3% in the first five months of the fiscal year. The largest gaining expenditure line item on a percentage basis year-over-year was interest expense.
Year-to-Date Deficit ($B)
To the last point on the growing expense of interest, a recent report written by Mary Meeker on behalf of Kleiner Perkins titled, "USA Inc", highlighted the heightening threat of interest to the federal deficit. According to Meeker:
"Last year's interest bill would have been 155% (or $290 billion) higher if rates have been at their 30-year average of 6% (vs. 2% in 2010). As debt levels rise and interest rates normalize, net interest payments could grow 20% or more annually."
The sneaky thing about borrowing money is that the cost of borrowing increases the more you borrow.
In conjunction with writing this note, we took a look at the longer term budget history of the United States. In the chart below, we show the budget deficit going back to 1968. The chart shows a somewhat normal distribution of deficit spending and reduction and then beginning in the 2000 time frame, the deficit train wreck began.
Given this February data and the long term trend, it is no surprise that we re-shorted the U.S. dollar today in the Virtual Portfolio via the etf UUP. In God we trust, but not in debt.

Conclusion: A heavy load of important European policy decisions are scheduled for March. The risk is that European markets underperform as expectations for future stabilization measures diverge from the compromises leaders will have to make to appease divided opinion across countries.
Positions in Europe: Long Germany (EWG)
Tomorrow begins the EU Summit on Competitiveness, the little sister of the big brother EU Summit on March 24-5 that discusses a "Comprehensive" bailout package for the region.
The main agenda for tomorrow's meeting with the Eurozone's 17 heads of state and government in Brussels includes:
- Defining a "competitiveness pact", now a watered down version from the original pressed by Germany and France, which calls for the rest of the Eurozone to show their commitment to overhauling their economies.
This current version of the pact is focused on further measures to limit public deficits; gradual increases to retirement ages; and work towards a common corporate tax base. To the last point, Ireland (including its new PM Enda Kenny) is against a common corporate tax base, as its current 12.5% rate, a clear competitive advantage compared to the EU average of 23%; Germany (30%) or France (34%).
While the agenda is a step in the right direction, the underlying issues that are plaguing Eurozone economies, especially those of the periphery, will not be addressed at tomorrow's Summit; namely the troubled banks and leverage to them across the region and the ongoing sovereign debt and deficit imbalances of member states, despite attempts at austerity. It will be these issues that will be part of the main discussion when the 27 EU leaders meet in Brussels on March 24-5 to agree on a "Comprehensive Package".
Ideals vs Decisions
One central topic of the "Comprehensive Package" is the size and scope of the fund to bailout troubled member nations. The current European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), which was set up in May of last year and used to bailout Ireland, was meant to only be temporary, so a decision must be reached on the guidelines for a permanent fund, named the European Stability Mechanism, which is set to replace the EFSF from mid-2013 onwards.
Currently, the EFSF is funded with €750 Billion, composed of €440 Billion from the 16 Eurozone members; €250 from the IMF; and €60 Billion from European Commission. One pressing issue is that the entire €440 Billion is not all liquid, for guarantees against the money are needed to retain its AAA rating, which effectively leaves only €250 Billion for access. Many argue that should a country far greater than Greece or Ireland need a bailout, say a Spain or Italy, the funds are inadequate.
The German position on the size and scope of the bailout fund is largely against increasing it, for it would require even more taxpayer guarantees, which doesn't match a largely fiscally conservative German populous that doesn't wish to take on more leverage to countries that have exercised fiscal excess, the poster child being Greece, which for years did not properly manage its expenses and tax collection. However, most member states stand in opposition to Germany's position, and believe increasing the bailout fund is in the interest of the all countries and the common currency.
Certainly, the size of the bailout fund is an important sticking point for German Chancellor Merkel who is fighting for a handful of state elections this year and must show a strong face against fiscal excess. Her party already lost a state election in the city-state of Hamburg late last month, and with her popularity fading and her party's majority in the upper house of parliament lost, her voice at the Summit, and ultimately the decision of the Summit, is crucial for her future political life.
A second main point of contention at the Summit is the ability of the fund to directly purchase Eurozone member government bonds, a position Merkel and her Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble are against, but many member nations are for.
Finally, discussions may also focus on the objectives of a second round of banking stress tests and a response to Ireland's plea for more generous interest rate and payback schedules on its existing loan, the latter which Merkel is also against.
Clearly, Germany's voice at the Summit will be loud, and important. Should Germany be the oil to the Eurozone's water, we could get no unified decision from the Summit, which the market would largely interpret as a negative. However, should Germany's voice prevail, or solid compromise be reached, we could see a positive interpretation. Yet, it also can't be ruled out that should Germany get its wish to not increase the size of the bailout fund, this could be interpreted as negative for the medium-term health of the region, especially should a larger economy need a bailout, and considering that the fate of Portugal is currently weighing on investors.
This week has been packed with data and announcements that have returned the spotlight to Europe's structural issues:
- Greek and Spanish credit ratings were downgrade by Moody's.
- Sovereign Debt auctions from European peripheral countries showed yields backing up versus previous issuance of similar maturity, bucking a trend of lower yields we had seen year-to-date as investors were bullish on foreign buyers (China and Japan, in particular) and optimism that the EU's comprehensive bailout package would be favorable to the periphery.
- The Bank of Spain said today that 12 lenders need to raise capital by €15.15 Billion. Of these 12 institutions, 2 are Spanish banks, 2 are subsidiaries of foreign banks, and 8 are savings banks or "cajas". In early January, Spain's Finance Minister said lenders need no more than €20 Billion to meet new capital levels; additionally, a government rescue fund (the Fund for Orderly Restructuring of the Banking sector, or FROB) is in place should lenders need assistance to recapitalize.
We're of the opinion that European equity markets and the common currency could see severe pin action as the events of March unfold. Alongside the two summits, on March 16 a decision by the EU on the harmonization of tax rates will be released, and on March 18th formal parameters on the 2nd round of bank stress tests will be released.
As always, and due to the unevenness of Eurozone economies and cultures, reaching a unified decision on these important measures this month is critical to guide the region's economic health, but won't be easily agreed upon. We believe that the decisions and announcements in March will have impacts on the underlying markets and common currency that you'll need to manage risk around.
Beware of March Madness in Europe.

As Bloomberg reported today, the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index dropped to minus 44.5 last week from the prior weeks minus 39.7, which was close to the highest in almost three years.
Certain cohorts of the consumer are still suffering, irrespective of this two-year market rally. Reflecting this stark reality, sentiment among those who are unemployed and those earning less than $50,000 per year suffered most in the weekly Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index released today. Rising gas prices, an all-to-gradually-improving but weak job market, and turmoil in MENA can easily shake consumers' already fragile confidence in the economy.
The price of gas has increased every day except one since mid-February, dealing a big blow to households just as the labor market shows signs of improvement. According to the Energy Department, The average U.S. household will spend about $700 more for gasoline in 2011 than it spent last year, bringing total motor fuel expenses up 28 percent to $3,235, based on an annual pump price of $3.61.
Today, a separate survey by BIGresearch, monitoring over 8,000 consumers on a monthly basis, lends credence to my theory that the Hedgeye Optimism Spread (difference between Conference Board Consumer Expectations and Consumer Present Situation Index) will begin to contract.
According to BIGresearch "while the government is reporting a third consecutive month of declining unemployment, consumers are predicting an increase in pink slips, not paychecks…in March, nearly a third of respondents (30.0%) contends there will be "more" layoffs in the next six months, rising more than six points from February (23.7%). Half (51.1%) say that layoffs will continue at the "same" pace, down from 54.1% a month ago, while fewer than one in five (18.9%) are predicting a decline, falling three-plus points from last month (22.3%)."
Tomorrow, the University Of Michigan Survey of Consumer Confidence will be released with the preliminary data for March. The Bloomberg survey for the March preliminary number is 76.4 versus the final February reading of 77.5.

LIME ROCK, Conn. – Guy Smith put Dyson Racing on the pole position Friday for the American Le Mans Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park in an epic 15-minute session.
Smith set a lap of 44.017 (120.553 mph) in Dyson Racing's Mazda-powered Lola coupe that he drives with Chris Dyson.
All five classes set qualifying records on the 1.5-mile, eight-turn layout. The unquestioned highlight was the fast and furious fight between Smith and Lucas Luhr from Muscle Milk Pickett Racing. Luhr set a lap of 44.119 (120.275 mph) to end up just .102 second behind his chief rival.
Dyson and Dyson Racing – based in nearby Poughkeepsie, N.Y. – started from pole last year and went on to win the race as well as the P1 championship in the American Le Mans Series.
Dyson entries will start first and third in P1. Eric Lux set a lap of 46.552 (113.989 mph) in Dyson Racing's other Lola-Mazda that he drives with Michael Marsal.
Bill Auberlen will make his 100th ALMS start with his first Lime Rock pole position in the Series for the GT class. Auberlen set a lap of 50.290 in the BMW Team RLL BMW M3 GT that he drives with Jörg Müller. The time broke BMW RLL teammate Joey Hand's record from last year by 0.005 seconds.
Auberlen was .379 second quicker than both Flying Lizard Motorsports' Marco Holzer and Corvette Racing's Oliver Gavin. Holzer set the time earlier in the session than Gavin, so the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR will start second in the class.
Auberlen has more than 10 career professional victories at Lime Rock Park but none in ALMS. He was a runner-up in 2010, and third in 2009 and 2006. Each of those results came in a BMW.
Level 5 Motorsports' Christophe Bouchut scored his third P2 pole position in four races with a lap of 46.539. It's the first time at the circuit for the Level 5 team but it didn't necessarily show on the timing screen. The squad's two HPD ARX-03bs were first and second.
Team owner Scott Tucker qualified second in class at 47.007 in the team's other entry that he drives with Luis Diaz. Tucker is pulling double-duty and is driving with Bouchut as well.
Martin Plowman qualified Conquest Endurance's Morgan-Nissan prototype third in P2 with a lap of 47.072 (112.729 mph). He drives with David Heinmeier- Hansson.
Kyle Marcelli tallied his first Prototype Challenge pole of the season with a lap of 47.249 in Merchant Services Racing's ORECA FLM09. The young Canadian – driving with Antonio Downs – barely missed out on pole position in the previous round at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca against RSR Racing's Bruno Junquiera. Marcelli turned the table Friday and outpaced the Brazilian star by 0.233 seconds.
Junqueira and teammate Tomy Drissi will start just ahead of PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports' Butch Leitzinger and Ken Dobson. Leitzinger, another of four ALMS drivers making their 100tth Series starts Saturday, qualified with a lap of 48.033.
In GT Challenge, Alex Job Racing's Leh Keen won his second career ALMS pole position and first at Lime Rock. He set a lap of 55.195 in the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup that he shares with GT Challenge championship leader Cooper MacNeil.
Keen, who last raced at Lime Rock in the ALMS during the 2008 season, led an intense three-way battle in the class. He was just 0.201 seconds ahead of TRG's Spencer Pumpelly and another 0.022 seconds clear of Green Hornet Racing's Damien Faulkner.

Two events occured over the Christmas holidays that made me pause to think and reassess life thus far.
First, I turned 38. It wasn't anything that I was paying particular attention to. Oh, I knew it was coming, but in the rush of things I pushed it to the corners of my mind. When it finally came as it did, I think it took me a bit by surprise.
Not that there's anything particularly special about the age itself; after all, it's not a round number that signifies another decade. But it places me just two years before that monumental marker for middle age, the big four-oh. I've crossed a threshhold of sorts and frankly, it's a little scary.
For one thing, I realize I'm no longer a creature of potentiality but rather a being of actuality. Those unexplored possibilities that I might have become are slowly closing off one by one. Ahead is the road made real by the choices I have made -- friendships, finances, fiancees, and yes, foolishness -- and there are fewer branches from which it diverges. There is no turning back. One can only go forward. Locked and loaded, so to speak. Inevitably one asks: "Did I make the right decisions?"
There are waypoints that we set for ourselves when we're starting out: embark on a career at twenty; save up for a car by twenty-five; get married and have kids by thirty; promoted to manager by thirty-five; and so on and so forth. Where I am now is just about where one takes stock of oneself with regard to this plan.
So there's the inherent danger in this exercise: one can't look back without a twinge of regret (no matter how one tries to deceive oneself with platitudes about living with no regrets.) Temporally limited as we are, there's always that road not taken. What if? And then there will be the inescapable comparisons with one's contemporaries: some will have fared better, others worse. Looking upwards, looking down, you can't help but ask: what if?
On the other hand, this fear is tempered somewhat by confidence. This is hardly yet the end of the race, just the halfway mark. Following the average, I'll have another twenty to thirty years ahead of me, or, if I'm lucky, forty to fifty. Of possibilities there may be less, but it also does mean there will be less confusion at quarter-life. And, of course, there's the rich wine of experience from which I have already drunk. Nothing more to do but to move onward.
Two events occured over the Christmas holidays that made me pause to think and reassess life thus far. The first, as I have already mentioned, I turned 38. The second? The birth of my nephew Jerrard Luke, 8 lbs, 54 cm, pink, bald, and cute. They say he looks like me.
When I look at him, I see a creature of possibility, and I smile because, well, life goes on.

"Hey Jude" has emerged as the Beatles' most popular song after the band's catalog debuted on Apple's iTunes store last week. Written by Paul McCartney, the song was originally composed to comfort John Lennon's son Julian while his parents were going through a messy divorce. At the time of its release, "Hey Jude" was the longest single to ever top the charts in Britain, and spent nine weeks at the top of the U.S. charts, the longest of any Beatles single.
The next highest selling Beatles song, "Let It Be," was also composed by McCartney. An NME readers poll chose "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "I Am The Walrus" as the two greatest Beatles songs of all time, both John Lennon compositions. The poll ranked "Hey Jude" the fifth best of all time, with "Let It Be" failing to crack the top twenty. [NME]

Have to wonder which song/s is/are LEAST popular. Do those Martin-penned "Sea of..." songs at the end of Yellow Submarine count? Cause that would be my bet for three-way tie.
I guess you are right. But Martin did do a bunch of of good stuff. Once a year I listen to the Beatles "Love" album and wish I could hold the hand of someone who could understand all that I get from it.

The Colorado Plateau is a fascinating place to explore. The scenery is beyond compare, and the geology is laid bare in the arid environment. It is an excellent place to teach because of the way the story of the region unfolds. So much of the journey involves looking at rocks and structures that formed in a sequential fashion, and are part of a coherent story.
And then there are those things that come right out of left field, features that are so out of place that they serve only to teach the uncertainty of life on planet Earth. Meteor Crater is one of those places. There's no particular reason that it should be on the Colorado Plateau and not somewhere else. But there it is, out on the plains of Arizona.
The region around Winslow and Holbrook in Arizona is desolate, flat, and basically uninviting. It's one of those stretches where the students can catch a nap because the instructor can't really think of anything to say over the CB radio as we drive through. Even the kitschy Route 66 developments seem worn out, and many are abandoned and falling apart.
But then, there is sort of an interruption in the flatness off to the south of the freeway. We know what is there, but it doesn't really look like much in the distance. We turn off the freeway and drive up the access road.
More than a century ago, this spot was called Franklin's Hole. As obvious as it seems today, the origin of this 550 foot deep hole was not clear at first. Most people figured it was some kind of volcanic feature, even after chunks of iron and nickel were discovered (not to mention a total lack of volcanic material).
Part of the problem of accepting a meteor origin of the hole was that expectation that the original chunk of rock was still intact and buried under the crater. The meteorite is thought to have been about 150 feet across, which would be quite a find, and I have a feeling that a lot of money was lost drilling holes in the bottom of the crater. As it is, the largest bit of rock weighed 1,400 pounds (it's on display in the museum-see the picture above).
It really sparks the imagination. 50,000 or so years ago, a big chunk of rock hit the Earth's atmosphere at 26,000 miles per hour and flared brighter than the sun. It hit the ground creating a massive explosion, leaving behind a crater 4,000 feet wide and 700 feet deep. It is a bit scary to contemplate the effect of such a collision in the present day. Not an extinction-level event, but devastating to anyone unfortunate enough to be anywhere nearby (the meteorite that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs is thought to have been several miles across). The impact actually caused the layers of Kaibab Limestone and Coconino Sandstone to rise and fold over on themselves, so the stratigraphy is inverted along the crater rim.
The crater is privately held, but the owners have done a nice job of preserving the crater, and it is well worth a visit. They are very accommodating for geology field trips if you contact them in advance.
For more information about visiting the crater, check out http://www.meteorcrater.com/.

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Stu Grimson held a lot of sway over his children when he played for the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.
Grimson, now the radio color analyst for the Predators, had two stints with the Ducks, 1993-95 and 1998-2000.
Among the perks of playing for the Disney-owned team, which was named after the hit movie "The Mighty Ducks" — passes to Disney World and Disney Land, and a 50 percent discount in Disney gift shops.
"Dad was never more popular in his household than when he worked for the mouse," Grimson joked as the Predators prepared to face the team now known simply as Ducks on Friday at Honda Center (9 p.m., SportSouth, 102.5-FM).
Grimson is a popular part of Mighty Ducks lore. He was an original team member, an alternate captain and the enforcer.
"It was a lot of fun. Any time — and this applies to pro sports or any aspect of business — it's fun to be a part of something new, and that's what this was," Grimson said. "We were extremely well-received by this community. It's a wonderful area to live and a great experience all around. Just a lot of fun."
Even though Grimson has been gone for a long time, he left a mark on the franchise and was invited back earlier in the season for an alumni celebration.
"He's a good person and when you have a good person and you go through organizations and leave a mark, he's always good about that," said Predators forward Matt Cullen, who played with Grimson in Anaheim in the late '90s. "He gets involved in communities and is just a classy individual."

Innovations hosts sister school students from Japan
Students from Innovations Public Charter School recently exchanged culture and curriculum with their sister school, Seiko Gakuen from Tokushima, Japan. The sister school partnership between the two schools was established in 2007. The annual visit of Seiko students consists of a week of immersion into the Innovations school day, attending classes, sharing curriculum and experiencing local community through joint field trips and activities around town.
This year, Innovations students were able to share the traditions of Halloween with their sister school with a field trip to Kahua Ranch Pumpkin Patch. It was the first experience with pumpkins for the Japanese students, with each student selecting his own pumpkin and then participating in pumpkin carving back on campus the next day with their Innovations partners. In addition, Innovations' students hosted sister school students to trick-or-treating in local neighborhoods on Halloween night to give them the full experience of Halloween, local-style.
Topping off their annual visit, Seiko students participated in a HomeStay program with Innovations families — living with a family for two nights, where they could fully experience the local culture and live the life of a child in Hawaii.

Half-Handed Cloud
Crediting his abbreviated and condensed songwriting style to his military parent upbringing, Ringhofer creates dazzlingly complex pop ditties for those with short attention spans. Case in point, his debut, 2001's Learning About Your Scale, positively blew through 25 songs in approximately 24 minutes, creating new standards for pop songcraft efficiency. It was followed by the equally strange and alluring We Haven't Just Been Told, We Have Been Loved in 2002, Thy Is a Word & Feet Need Lamps in 2005, and the sprawling Halos + Lassos in 2006.
Cut Me Down & Count My Rings, a collection of B-sides, Internet-only tracks, compilation appearances, and Christmas tunes, arrived in 2010, followed later that same year by the group's fifth full-length, As Stowaways in Cabinets of Surf, We Live-out in Our Members a Kind of Rebirth. The year 2014 saw the release of Flying Scroll Flight Control, an album of 18 characteristically brief tunes recorded over the course of a year in a Berkeley, California church. With formal ties to similarly minded artists like the Danielson Famile by virtue of his connection to the Sounds Familyre label, Half-Handed Cloud is one of the growing coterie of uniquely avant-garde Christian artists. ~ Matt Fink
