In 1905, when the South Salem Hills were planted in orchards, a splendid house was built along the market road to Eugene as a dwelling for Civil War vet Franklin Thompson. Today, the Thompson Brewery & Public House is the first brewery in Salem to be established post-Prohibition. Is it any surprise that the interior echoes with the laughter of an old friend? Nothing, it seems, hangs heavy in the air in this comfortable, century-old building. There's always a welcoming easiness extending to all. The deck at the Thompson is a perfect place to enjoy a meal and a housemade McMenamins pint.

No ground antenna for backpackers, balconies or plastic car bodies
A common problem with backpacker or balcony antennas is finding a good counterpoise. Also cars and caravans with a plasic body are a problem. Althow nothing beats a set of resonant radials, the shown solution offers a 1/4 wave stub that wil create an artificial counterpoise. The mobile antenna mount must be isolated from any metal by a epoxy or plastic sheet and a normal T-Connector is used at the antenna feedpoint. Be shure to shortcut the end of the stub. The length of the stub in meters equals 1/4 Lambda x 0.66 (this is the velocity factor of 50 Ohm RG-58 ) or can be calculated by deviding 50 by the frequency .So if you need a stub for 14 MHz the outcome is 3.57 m. but this length is not critical. The setup can be easily mounted on top of a rucksack. On a balcony the stub can be layd on the floor.

High Probability Of A Major Attack On The Financial System
August 30th, 2013
The Obama administration tried to present evidence that the Syrian government was at fault for the chemical attacks. The problem there was no evidence. Most of the world is not backing the US on this mission of war, so the US is willing to go it alone. This entire war was planned along time ago to cover up the economic collapse. To push this war forward there will be major cyber attacks on the financial system which will in turn bring the economy to a screeching halt. This will be blamed on another country .

In an effort to control India's growing population, health officials west of New Delhi are offering incentives like TVs, a mini car, and food processors to the first sterilization participants. Others who get vasectomies will receive the American equivalent of $22.80 and around $4.50 for the person who referred them. That similar cash compensation plan is currently offered to poor men of Tagpur.
But this isn't merely compensation for a permanent decision to give up parenthood. It's really more of a sweepstakes with prizes for the lucky ones. Rules are, sterilization participants must enter between now and September 30th to be "entered into a lottery to win prizes." -Asian Tribune
Incentives for sterilization in India are not new. In 1973, a piece called "Food Incentives For Indians: Can They Be Just?" entertained the idea of offering food for the poor to sterilize. This initiative proposed by the Indian Family Planning Council who held that such restrictions of freedom would benefit the greater good and ensure freedom, nutrition, jobs, and education. This raised the question if the initiative was similar to coercing the poor to choose between no food or no family.
Ethics questions surfaced again during the forced sterilization scandal talked about below.
Apparently the ethical verdict is in, give up future children in India and you could walk away with a car, a food processor, a TV set, 22 bucks…
But to some family planning advocates, "the price is wrong, Bob." Some call the new rewards-based plan "coercive and unsustainable."
"We don't favour incentives as a way of encouraging sterilisation, it is coercion by a different name. Besides, how can you sustain it? You can't give a Tata Nano every six months to people," Sona Sharma from the non-profit Population Foundation of India asked.
Sharma warned against the rush to meet sterilisation targets. "They will probably succeed in raising numbers, but the quality of medical care is always compromised in such situations, when you have many patients, few doctors, and limited time, doctors end up cutting corners and the repercussions can be frightening," she cautioned. -Asian Tribune
HFA will bring more news soon about the global push for depopulation efforts.

India offers cars and TV sets for sterilisation
Health officials in India are offering attractive incentives including a car, motorcycles and television sets to men and women who volunteer for sterilisation in a bid to control the country's surging population.
Launching the scheme yesterday in Rajasthan's Jhunjunu, 155miles west of New Delhi Sitaram Sharma the desert town's chief medical officer was hopeful that these enticements would tempt at least 30,000 people to undergo sterilisation.
"We are confident that this idea will work well" Mr Sharma said of the three-month long scheme.
The inducements on offer contributed by a local charitable trust include one Nano, the world's cheapest car for the first volunteer, five motorcycles and an equal number of colour televisions and food blenders for disbursal amongst subsequent candidates.
Others would be paid varying cash amounts that would supplement the federal government's Family Welfare scheme which offered Rs1000 (£14.20) to those undergoing vasectomy and Rs200 (2.85 Pounds) to the one who motivated them.
Under a similar incentive scheme launched two years earlier around 150 men had received gun licences in exchange for vasectomies in Central India's bandit-infested Shivpuri region.
India launched its family planning programme in 1952 but the 19-month internal Emergency imposed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the mid-1970s for personal political ends severely jeopardised it through forced sterilisation of thousands of unmarried young men and women and aged people.
Gandhi lost the general elections largely because of the forced vasectomies.
Thereafter, successive federal governments have floundered on ways to control India's population of 1.21 billion that is expected to overtake China's by 2030.
According to provisional figures of the latest census concluded in April India was more populous than Bangladesh, Brazil, Indonesia, Pakistan and the US put together.
It was home to 17 per cent of the world's population and had added 181 million people to its numbers since the previous headcount a decade ago.
The initial census figures also indicated a worrying decline in the country's child sex ratio, down to 914 females for every 1000 males, the lowest since independence 64 years ago which was causing myriad other social problems.

Rep. Shelley Berkley on Thursday dismissed a new Democratic opponent as she seeks to replace Sen. Dean Heller, a Republican.
Berkley said she isn't concerned by Las Vegas businessman Barry Ellsworth's primary election challenge for the Senate and she remains focused on defeating Heller in the general election Nov. 6.
"No, it doesn't bother me at all," Berkley said when asked by a reporter about Ellsworth's entry into the Senate contest. "This is a democracy. Anyone can run who wants to. ... I'm highlighting the differences between Dean Heller and myself."
In response, Ellsworth said he won't be ignored. He said Berkley is part of the problem in Congress, which contributed to the U.S. economic downturn by loosening rules on Wall Street.
"This Senate seat belongs to the people of Nevada, not to whichever career politician is next in line," Ellsworth said. "Shelley has been in Washington too long. ... She can stay focused on Dean Heller. I am going to stay focused on solving our problems."
Berkley's dismissal of Ellsworth came after a news conference she called to tout a bill she plans to introduce when the House returns from its holiday break. The measure would extend a 30 percent tax credit for U.S. Companies that build clean energy projects such as wind and solar. The tax credit has created an estimated 17,000 jobs nationwide and hundreds in Nevada, she said.
Berkley said the clean energy tax credits would be paid for by ending some of the $21 billion in U.S. subsidies to oil companies — which Heller voted eight times to protect, she added.
Berkley said Nevada voters have a choice between backing her for the Senate so she can help create clean energy jobs or supporting Heller's "agenda protecting taxpayer giveaways to big oil companies and corporations that ship jobs overseas."
A spokesman for Heller said the senator supports both tax credits for renewable energy and reform to close business tax loopholes.
"Senator Heller has a long history of supporting responsible tax credits for renewable energy production," said spokesman Stewart Bybee. "Moreover, he supports tax reform that closes loopholes and broadens the tax base."
The issue of job creation and taking advantage of Nevada's clean energy potential is expected to remain a hot issue in the close Senate race. The state's jobless rate is 13 percent, highest in the nation. Nevada's vast land and weather have made it an attractive site for renewable energy, although the industry often requires tax breaks and cheap U.S. loans to succeed.
Berkley's Democratic opponent, Ellsworth, has had a successful career in clean energy and could gain some support there.
In 2004, he founded Green Plains Renewable Energy, a company now the fourth largest ethanol firm in the world. He ran it until selling a portion of his interest a few years ago. He now invests through his Las Vegas firm, SAE Capital Partners.
The 57-year-old entrepreneur said Wednesday he has been friends with Berkley, and has donated to her campaigns in the past. But he said he came to the conclusion that Berkley is part of the problem in Congress that has the nation — and Nevada — struggling.
He said she supported financial deregulation bills in the late 1990s and early 2000s that set the stage for the housing bubble and mischief by Wall Street traders that caused the near-collapse of the economy, for example.
He also criticized the Troubled Asset Relief Program — the TARP bill to rescue big banks.
A previous Democratic challenger, Las Vegas businessman Byron Georgiou, dropped out of the race last year after his financial dealings were closely examined in opposition research leaked to the press. He quit under pressure from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Berkley's most powerful Democratic ally.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I made the red leotard, modified the gloves, and the light brown belt thing is from the notions section at JoAnn's. The rest of the costume pieces were purchased: I chose denim shorts and heels over puffy shorts and flats, as I thought it would look better. ^^; I also had some shopping bags as props, but we didn't get photos with any of them. lol
- Personal Thoughts:
- The boobage is 75-80% fake (rough estimate haha), any bigger and I think it would look weird on me. I don't think the leotard is very flattering on me either, if I find the same color in a thicker jersey knit I might remake it. Ah, oh well~ at least I've finally represented my favorite Gundam 00 bridge bunny, and I can't ever say no to some delicious zettai ryouiki. 8D Now I just need to find someone to be my Lichty!
Thanks to AgentSakur9 for shooting with me at Sakura Watch this year, despite the crowd and crazy wind! We didn't spend much time there, but we managed to get the shots we both wanted, and went home happy! :D I wasn't quite sure what to expect for my first time attending Sakura Watch, but at least now I have an idea and can plan better for next year!

I created this new design and would like any feedback.
I'm never one to not be straight with somebody, so, yea, disclaimer.
I'm sorry to say but this is just not good. There is not a single piece that I like. I'd offer you constructive criticism, but there's really nothing I can go on to try to help you.
What do YOU think of the design?
Hi Mike
As an initial concept it could work. I would maybe look at some font changes.
And possibly less of a contrast in the colors. Might be worth looking at Adobe Kuler for the colors.
Post back again when you've done a little more content. Be nice to see how it develops.
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
Who is the audience of this site?
I ask because I think if it is for you, promoting your services and/or knowledge, you may want to rethink the choice of fonts. You can use creative fonts, but I think the ones you have (look kind of similar to Comic Sans) take away from your credibility. It's a font at least my brain has been trained to think "kid's stuff".
That background is god awful. It's the thing that's killing it for me. You need to find a texture that works within the context of the "realism" you are trying to create. Unless that blackboard is the size of a posted note, the perspective doesn't fit (for instance, the eraser on the bottom left is telling me the chalk board is huge, but the borders and the background are arguing with that fact).
The color is off as well… the colors don't contrast so it's just a big color vomit on the screen.
What could help is finding a more reddish brick color, or gray (something that will contrast with the green without making it look like Christmas), and giving it some lighting (light in the middle pulling back to a dark background expanding to the sides). That will at least take your focus off the background texture and put your eyes where they belong: on the content.
A clearly separated and defined menu will help the flow and what web users would come to expect.
Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps.
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
Don't get discouraged.. It's always good to try things out of the box, you never know, you may create the next box.
Imagine the first guy who said "I'm going to think out of the box and make a website that looks like a birds-eye-view of a desk, complete with a keyboard, a notepad, some pens, postit notes, a coffee cup with some spilled…"
Now, theres 3402840832098 copies of that idea. Original? No. Are some good? Yes. Are there many bad imitations? Yes.
That being said, I can't see the page either… its asking for a login. ;)
I went ahead and took it down. From the feedback I got it wasn't a good design. So I am going to start all over again.
Also I have a question regarding photoshop and using it to design website. Do you need to adjust the setting in photoshop so the colors display correctly on different monitors? I read an article on the web and this is the first time I heard about adjust the setting in photoshop.
Different users can have different monitors, browsers, readers etc. – you can't account for them all. The only way you can precisely set how a colour is supposed to display is by specifying that colour's hexidecimal value in your css.
In other words, instead of saying:
background: black;
you say instead:
background: #000000;
This acts like a reset – a browser uses the universally accepted hexidecimal value for that color rather than how its programmers felt that colour should be displayed. There isn't a whole lot of difference, but the hex values do allow you to specify very exact shades.
A full list of these values is available on any number of sites. Try http://www:html-color-codes.com.
A hex value is six digits long and can contain letters (white is #ffffff). It takes the Red Green Blue attributes of the shade and specifies them exactly. So those six digits are actually three pairs – (Red is)ff (Green is)ff (Blue is)ff. You can use shorthand for these values if the three pairs contain equal digits, so black (#000000) can be written #000, grey (#eeeeee) goes like #eee and brown (660000) can be expressed as #600. Conversely a green shade with the value of #2b9900 cannot – the initial pair does not contain equal digits.
If you click on the little square that is displaying the current colour you are using in photoshop, it will display the various values of that colour – including the hex number you need for your css.

Kelly is an instructor of creative writing and literature at two colleges in Illinois. In this essay, Kelly examines the technique of parallel structure, which Gregg uses frequently in "A Thirst Against," and the poem's overall structure, which makes that technique too obvious.
Linda Gregg's poem "A Thirst Against" works by using several basic linguistic devices, most notably repetition and contrast. The poem states its major premise several times over, and then, to clarify some ideas, pairs them with their opposites, in order to show contrast. These techniques work well, but are limited: once a point has been made, it has been made, and making it over again just tries the patience of anyone reading the poem. Still, Gregg is a clever enough writer, with enough fresh details to bring to any topic to keep readers interested in her work, even when she is telling them something...

Tom Brady Postgame Press Conference Transcript
ReplayPatriots Replay
Tue., Mar. 28, 2017 2:00 PM to 11:59 PM EDT
TB: Well, we talked about that before the drive. We said even if we miss the fourth down play, we could still get the ball back at some point and go down and score. Our defense made a great stop. They punted the ball to the 25, 30 [yard-line] and guys made a bunch of plays there at the end. Guys made big time catches. It was just a great game. Read
Q: Can you describe the touchdown pass to Kenbrell Thompkins with 10 seconds left in the game? Read
TB: Yeah, well, we had everybody going to the end zone and he kind of snuck into the corner and I put it up there for him and he came down and made a great catch. There were a lot of great catches there at the ends. Julian [Edelman] with the seam ball to start the drive and then Austin [Collie] had a fourth-down catch. AD [Aaron Dobson] came back and caught an in-cut that was a big play. So that was great situational football and great win against a really good team. We're 5-1 and we're just grinding. Hopefully we can use this as a little bit of momentum going into next week. Read
Q: What does this say about your confidence in your receivers to keep going back to them, even after more dropped passes tonight? Read
TB: I have confidence in those guys. We're just working hard every day to try to get better. We're certainly not perfect out there. We're definitely just grinding. We're just trying to get better every day in practice and every game. These situations that come up and we're leaning from them. The receivers have done a great job. Mike Hooman [Hoomanawanui] has really stood in there and done a great job for us at the tight end spot. The backs all ran hard. It was a great all around win. Read
Q: What does it mean to go to a guy like Austin Collie, who literally just got here, on the final drive? Read
TB: He's earned the confidence of everybody, so we had a situation where we put him on the field and see what he could do and see if he could help us win a game and he did. That was a great thing and that's what we need. That's what a football teams are all about: using all 53 guys on the roster to try to move the ball down the field and get it into the end zone one way or another. Today it took is 59 minutes and 55 seconds. We needed all that time and it took all that time. Great way to finish. Read
Q: You spoke on Wednesday about the need for a complementary win. Was this what you were looking for? Read
TB: Yeah. The defense made some huge stands. They played great when they needed to, against a really good offense and a team that's been scoring a lot of points. They've been playing good all year. Offensively, we still need to do a better job getting the ball in the end zone. Like I said, there were a lot of things to improve on. It was better, but we're not quite there yet. Read
Q: But overall it was a very good complementary win – offense, defense and especial teams. Does that help galvanize the team a little bit? Read
TB: Well, winning helps galvanize everything. Losing sucks and it was a rough week. I think the thing is there's a lot of character and mental toughness and that really showed. We were down but not out. We had some momentum go our way that we didn't take advantage of and it went their way, and then we fought and overcame some odds. That's what football is about and you're going to have those over the course of a season. I was just proud of the way that we hung in there and never stopped fighting. Read
Q: How surprised were you to go for it on fourth down with three minutes to go? Read
TB: We knew we were down one and if we missed it they were hopefully going to kick a field goal like they did and then we'd have another chance. I don't think we were very discouraged. We just said, 'Look, we've got to do better and if we get it back we've got to certainly make more plays.' There was little margin for error there are the end based on the situation that we were in. Guys really made some great catches and certainly the last one was a great catch in the corner of the end zone. Read
Q: What does it say about the evolution of Kenbrell Thompkins as a receiver that he was the guy you went to? Read
TB: He's done a great job. He's been in there a bunch and he's made a lot of plays for us this year. I think going to all those guys – Aaron made some plays, Julian made some plays, Austin made some plays, Hooman made some plays. They're all big at this point. There are no drives that aren't important and certainly no situations where things aren't important. As the game got closer to the end and the margin of error gets smaller, you've got to make better plays and that's when we were at our best. Read
Q: What led you to Kenbrell Thompkins on the touchdown pass? It wasn't like he was wide open. Read
TB: No, it was a tight throw. We sent all the guys to the end zone and at that point you're just trying to pick a side. I looked right and came back left and saw K made a move and slipped behind him and I just tried to put it back there where he could make a play. That was pretty sweet. Read
Q: How does tempo help with the no huddle offense? Read
TB: I think sometimes it helped us a little bit because we were playing fast and you can be aggressive, and sometimes when we didn't execute well, it didn't go very well. It's only as good as the execution, regardless of tempo and certainly late in the game we were going fast. We've got to make the plays when they're there, whether we're going fast or we're going slow. All those plays are important. Read
Q: What did you say to the team after your interception? Read
TB: It was a bad read. Julian was running through the defense and I put it up there and just didn't make a good throw. Everyone is a little deflated when we throw interceptions, but you've got to still bounce back. Regardless of the situation, you've got to have enough mental toughness to come through. I think our guys all believe in each other and I think we've shown that over the course of the season to get to 5-1. We've had some tough games and none of them have been easy. 5-1 is a decent record. Read
Q: Fans have been talking about concerns about the team, but they always are confident in having you. Is there anything you'd like to say to them? Read
TB: Well, we have great fans and great support. Every time we play at home the crowd gives us a huge boost. Things have been pretty good here for a long time and it's a great place to play. We're trying to go out and represent the city the best we can – all of New England. Certainly wining is important [to the] formula, too. Coach always says do well in the community and try to win some football games. Those are the two things that matter to the guys in this room Read
Q: In situations like this, do you go out there fully confident that you're going to go out there and pull it out, no matter how you've played to that point? Read
TB: I think no matter how you've played to that point, you have a situation: you have one timeout, two timeouts, three timeouts, no time outs, you're backed up. Regardless of what happens over the course of the game, you have a chance. That's what football is all about. Interestingly, the plays in the first quarter are just as important as the plays in the fourth quarter; it's just the game's not really on the line at that point. When the game is on the line, you see what guys are made of and all those guys at the receiver position made some huge plays on that last drive. Read
Q: Bill Belichick was saying that you have to have a short memory, especially after the late drives where there were a few drops and the interception. Do you think the young guys are developing that short memory? Read
TB: You have to in football. As great as a win as this is, we have to come to work tomorrow and we're on the clock against the Jets. They're going to be motivated. They lost, they're playing at home and we've already played them once. No matter what happens, you have to start working on next week. We have to learn from the things we did well and learn from the things we did poorly and try to get to 6-1. That's the goal this week. Read

Sunsets at Angkor Wat offer lasting memories of Cambodia tours
Visiting Angkor Wat is an unquestioned staple of Cambodia tours. The largest religious monument in the world, this sprawling complex truly has to be seen to be believed. Aside from its historic significance, Angkor Wat is a large tourist draw thanks to its natural landscape, which makes it a great place to view sunsets. However, due to its immense size it can be hard to know where to go to witness the approaching dusk. Cambodia and Australia recently teamed up to make the process easier by releasing the Angkor Sunset Finder, The Associated Press reports.
The website features the best spots to see sunsets in the 160-square-mile complex, and although it will be a big help to visitors, it was also developed to preserve the integrity of the centuries-old site. Specifically, its creators hope by providing more information on where to go, it will reduce the number of tourists heading to the areas that see heavy volumes of visitors. If you're planning a trip to Angkor Wat, you may want to start detailing your sunset experience well ahead of time.
One of the best spots to see the sunset is from the top of Phnom Bok. Much more secluded than some of the other spots, the trip to Phnom Bok is not easy - it requires a trip up 250 steps - but the payoff is certainly worth the effort. In addition to seeing the sun dip behind an Angkorian temple, you can watch the sunlight disappear from a stunning rural landscape.
If you're looking for a less arduous journey, there are other options available. For instance, taking the boat out to West Mebon will provide a relaxing journey that offers views just as stunning as anywhere else at Angkor Wat.

A Texas man accused of creating an underground online drugs marketplace called Silk Road will face trial in November.
U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest in Manhattan scheduled the trial for Nov. 3 as Ross Ulbricht, 29, pleaded not guilty to a four-count indictment unveiled on Tuesday. The charges include money laundering conspiracy and engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise.
"I know your client is in custody, so I'm sure you'd like to get this done sooner rather than later," Forrest said to Ulbricht's lawyer on Friday.
Ulbricht, who prosecutors say went online by the name "Dread Pirate Roberts", has been incarcerated since his arrest in October.
Prosecutors say that Ulbricht owned and operated Silk Road, which they allege sold drugs and criminal services in exchange for the digital currency bitcoin.
The bulk of the items for sale on Silk Road were illegal drugs including heroin, cocaine and ecstasy, prosecutors say. The site also carried listings for computer hacking services, forgeries and malicious software, according to authorities.
Prosecutors say that Ulbricht, managing a small staff of paid site administrators, reaped tens of millions of dollars in commissions through Silk Road.
The indictment charges Ulbricht with one count each of narcotics conspiracy, engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, conspiracy to commit computer hacking and money laundering conspiracy.
U.S. authorities have to date seized 173,991 bitcoins that at current exchange rates are worth more than $130 million, according to CoinDesk, a bitcoin price index publisher.
Federal authorities have separately charged three men -Andrew Jones, Gary Davis and Peter Nash - in connection with their alleged roles in assisting Ulbricht in operating Silk Road.
The case is U.S. v. Ulbricht, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 13-06919.

Emerging-Market VIX Surges Most in Two Years on Selloff
Nikolaj Gammeltoft and Callie BostEquity volatility from India to Brazil and Turkey jumped the most in two years as turmoil spread across global markets amid a selloff in developing-country currencies and growing concern over China's economy.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange Emerging Markets ETF Volatility Index rose 40 percent to 28.26 last week, the biggest increase since September 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Bearish bets outnumber bullish ones on the underlying exchange-traded fund by the most since July with about 60 percent more puts than calls. The volatility gauge added 4.1 percent to 29.43 today as developing-nation stocks extended declines.
The devaluation of Argentina's peso, data signaling a possible contraction in China's factory output and declines from the Turkish lira to the South African rand shook investor confidence. Emerging-market equities have tumbled since the Federal Reserve signaled in May that it could start scaling back bond purchases that boosted demand for higher-yielding assets.
"There's concern that the downtrend may continue," Walter "Bucky" Hellwig, who helps manage $17 billion at BB&T Wealth Management in Birmingham, Alabama, said by phone Jan. 24. "Protection is being purchased or bets are being made that it will."
The MSCI emerging-markets gauge fell 2.3 percent last week. The European equity benchmark lost 3.3 percent, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average sank 3.5 percent for its biggest weekly decline since May 2012. The developing-nation index slumped 1.8 percent to 932.64 today, extending this year's drop to 7 percent.
Global Markets
The global selloff resumed today with the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of mainland Chinese stocks listed in Hong Kong slipping 2.2 percent to its lowest close since Aug. 28. The Kospi index in Seoul slid 1.6 percent. Japan's Topix Index tumbled 2.8 percent, the most in almost six months, fueling a 2.2 percent decline in the MSCI Asia Pacific Index, the lowest close since Sept. 6 for the regional measure.
Argentina, Hungary and Chile led declines among emerging-market equities at the end of last week with losses exceeding 2 percent Jan. 24. Brazil's Ibovespa slid to its lowest level in five months, while Russian equities retreated for three straight days last week.
Traders are piling into hedges after a global rally in developed markets that has had few interruptions. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index jumped 30 percent in 2013, the most in 16 years, and hasn't posted a decline of more than 10 percent in 27 months. For the MSCI All-Country World Index, the last retreat of that size was in June 2012.
Implied Volatility
Investors traded almost 600,000 puts on the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF on Jan. 24, three times the average from the past 20 days, data compiled by Bloomberg show. About 150,000 calls changed hands, 45 percent more than the mean.
Implied volatility, the key gauge of options prices, rose 17 percent to 22.83 last week for the emerging-markets ETF, according to data compiled by Bloomberg on contracts expiring in three months. The measure reached the highest level since December as investors bought options to insure against further losses in underlying equities.
The biggest options trade last week on the emerging-market ETF has more than doubled in value. An investor purchased 53,500 February $39 puts on Jan. 23 for approximately $3 million, according to New York-based Trade Alert LLC. The contracts, which were bought for 57 cents each, finished trading last week at $1.36.
In the second-largest transaction, someone purchased about $2 million of 122,000 May $46 calls on Jan. 22, buying them for 16 cents each, according to Trade Alert. The bullish contracts closed at 7 cents on Jan. 24.
Open Interest
Among the 10 options with the highest ownership on the emerging-market ETF, eight were bearish, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. February $40 puts and February $39 puts had the most open interest. The iShares ETF retreated 3.9 percent to $38.24 last week.
Argentina will ease currency controls after the peso's slide brought the rate to a level Cabinet Chief Jorge Capitanich said was acceptable.
"We're still cautious on emerging markets," Timothy Ghriskey, who oversees $1.5 billion as the chief investment officer at Solaris Group LLC, said by phone last week from New York. "A significant part of emerging markets keys off of China and the Chinese economy and that's what we watch very closely. Although there have certainly been signs of improvement, there are also signs of weakness."
Currency Selloff
Chinese factory output may shrink this month, a preliminary survey from HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics indicated last week as the People's Bank of China injected more funds to the financial system to ease a cash shortage.
A Bloomberg gauge tracking 20 emerging-market currencies fell to the lowest level since April 2009 Jan. 24. The Turkish lira weakened to a record low against the dollar and the South African rand sank to the weakest since October 2008, while Argentina's peso depreciated to an unprecedented low.
Equities retreated worldwide amid growing concern that cuts to the Fed's stimulus program will hurt the global economy. The S&P 500 slid 2.6 percent last week, the most since June 2012. The VIX, as the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index is known, jumped 46 percent to 18.14 for the biggest increase since 2010.
Temporary Volatility
Emerging-market stocks have underperformed advanced-nation shares during times of financial stress in the past two decades, including Latin America's so-called Tequila Crisis in 1994 after Mexico's peso devaluation and Russia's default on $40 billion of debt in 1998. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index lost 54 percent in 2008, 12 percentage points more than the gauge of shares in developed nations.
The jump in volatility and retreat in stock prices are temporary because the global economy remains healthy, according to Andrew Wilkinson, the Greenwich, Connecticut-based chief market analyst at Interactive Brokers LLC.
"People do not expect this to last across time and I would expect volatility to subside in the weeks ahead," Wilkinson said in a phone interview. "There's a belief Argentina is in a basket of its own and I wonder how sustained the move down in stocks is going to be."
The VIX last week closed above its futures contracts that expire over the next five months, an event known as backwardation. That suggests greater concern about the immediate future because the cost of hedging against short-term price swings is higher than what traders pay to shield themselves from volatility in the longer run, Wilkinson said.
Investor Poll
International investors are the most upbeat about the global economy than at any time in almost five years, buoyed by the U.S.-led revival of industrial nations, according to the Bloomberg Global Poll.
On the eve of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, last week, 59 percent of Bloomberg subscribers surveyed on Jan. 16 and 17 said the economic outlook was improving. That's up from 33 percent in November and marks the most optimistic result since the poll began in July 2009.
There are about 3.32 million puts outstanding on the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF, compared with 2.04 million calls, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The VStoxx Index, which measures the price of options to protect against Euro Stoxx 50 Index losses, fell 1.2 percent to 20.68 today after jumping 33 percent last week. The HSI Volatility Index, which tracks the cost of options on Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index, jumped 16 percent to 17.55 today after rising 9.3 percent last week. CBOE's VIX slumped 4 percent to 17.42 as the S&P 500 fell 0.5 percent to 1,781.56.
Short-Term Volatility
The CBOE S&P 500 Short-Term Volatility Index, tracking nine-day options on the stock gauge, soared 82 percent in the previous five days, the biggest increase on record, to 20.84.
"People at the moment are more comfortable owning U.S. dollars and with a stronger U.S. economy," Gabriel Wallach, who manages about $2.5 billion as the Boston-based chief investment officer of global emerging-market equities at BNP Paribas Investment Partners, said by phone. "They are worried about a slowdown in China still."

Synapses are specialized sites of cell-cell contact that mediate communication between neurons in the nervous system. Much remains to be discovered about the molecular mechanisms that underlie formation of these critical structures in the mammalian central nervous system. While recent advances have contributed to understanding of excitatory synapse formation, the processes that mediate inhibitory synapse formation remain poorly defined. In addition, it is hypothesized that aberrant synapse formation and function contributes to neurological disorders such as mental retardation, autism spectrum disorders, and epilepsy. To appreciate how synapse dysfunction contributes to these widespread neurological impairments, it is important to first understand how synapses are formed, maintained, and function in the non-pathological state. To this end, a novel, forward genetic RNA interference (RNAi)-based screen in cultured hippocampal neurons was developed that has identified new molecules required for synapse formation. Using this technique, it was discovered that RNAi-mediated knockdown of a class 4 Semaphorin, Sema4D, led to a decrease in the density of inhibitory synapses without an apparent effect on excitatory synapse formation. Thus, Sema4D is one of only a few molecules identified thus far that preferentially regulates inhibitory synapse formation. Therefore, this project to understand the mechanism of action of Sema4D in this process may yield key insights into the assembly of inhibitory synapses in the mammalian central nervous system. | Project Status NEW 2010 |

Maybe it's the improving economy or simply the area's charm, but it seems that Cherry Creek North landlords are finally filling in their empty storefronts with new shops, salons, and restaurants. The Third Avenue block between St. Paul and Milwaukee is bustling with recent openings (like Mariel and J. Gilbert Footwear), but I'm most excited about Caribou, a chic extension of Golden's Little Star Gallery. Here's why:
Vibe: Southwestern style meets laid-back contemporary. Traditional elements like cozy leather club chairs and authentic Navajo rugs are mixed with sleek natural wood floors and glass cases for a relaxed but sophisticated city feel.
The Goods: For ladies looking to invest in tribal-inspired pieces, this is the place. You'll find Western- and Native American-inspired jewelry and fine art crafted by local and regional artists like Alan and Jason Tiensvold, Robin Smith, and Denver-based Douglas Rich.
Spotlight: An artist who works in multiple mediums, the self-taught Rich actually designed the store concept, logo, and gallery fixtures. Caribou showcases his entire range of creative work, from lighting and furniture to paintings, sculpture, and jewelry. His designs range from clean and modern—a sterling silver bracelet with a simple medallion center ($650)—to intricate statement items like the Au Rouge coral and sterling silver necklace ($3,200; pictured top left).
My Five Must-Haves:
Cruz de Amor sterling silver Almiranta cross and Swarovski pearls, $2,300 (pictured top right)
Navajo turquoise and sterling silver rings, starting at $225 (pictured left)
Sterling silver trader beads (modern reproduction based on medieval, circa 1600s Spanish originals), $1,425
Sun Drop Pendant, sterling silver on red silk cord, $125
Hand-cut leopard shells with amber beads and sterling silver, $1,250 (pictured right)

System Calls vfork(2)
vfork, vforkx - spawn new process in a virtual memory effi- cient way
#include <unistd.h> pid_t vfork(void); #include <sys/fork.h> pid_t vforkx(int flags);
The vfork() and vforkx() functions create a new process without fully copying the address space of the old process. These functions are useful in instances where the purpose of a fork(2) operation is to create a new system context for an execve() operation (see exec(2)). Unlike with the fork() function, the child process borrows the parent's memory and thread of control until a call to execve() or an exit (either abnormally or by a call to _exit() (see exit(2)). Any modification made during this time to any part of memory in the child process is reflected in the parent process on return from vfork() or vforkx(). The parent process is suspended while the child is using its resources. In a multithreaded application, vfork() and vforkx() borrow only the thread of control that called vfork() or vforkx() in the parent; that is, the child contains only one thread. The use of vfork() or vforkx() in multithreaded applica- tions, however, is unsafe due to race conditions that can cause the child process to become deadlocked and conse- quently block both the child and parent process from execu- tion indefinitely. The vfork() and vforkx() functions can normally be used the same way as fork() and forkx(), respectively. The calling procedure, however, should not return while running in the child's context, since the eventual return from vfork() or vforkx() in the parent would be to a stack frame that no longer exists. The _exit() function should be used in favor of exit(3C) if unable to perform an execve() operation, since exit() will invoke all functions registered by atexit(3C) and will flush and close standard I/O channels, SunOS 5.11 Last change: 13 Dec 2006 1 System Calls vfork(2) thereby corrupting the parent process's standard I/O data structures. Care must be taken in the child process not to modify any global or local data that affects the behavior of the parent process on return from vfork() or vforkx(), unless such an effect is intentional. Unlike fork() and forkx(), fork handlers are not run when vfork() and vforkx() are called. The vfork() and vforkx() functions are deprecated. Their sole legitimate use as a prelude to an immediate call to a function from the exec family can be achieved safely by posix_spawn(3C) or posix_spawnp(3C). Fork Extensions The vforkx() function accepts a flags argument consisting of a bitwise inclusive-OR of zero or more of the following flags, which are defined in the header <sys/fork.h>: FORK_NOSIGCHLD FORK_WAITPID See fork(2) for descriptions of these flags. If the flags argument is 0, vforkx() is identical to vfork().
Upon successful completion, vfork() and vforkx() return 0 to the child process and returns the process ID of the child process to the parent process. Otherwise, -1 is returned to the parent process, no child process is created, and errno is set to indicate the error.
The vfork() and vforkx() functions will fail if: EAGAIN The system-imposed limit on the total number of processes under execution (either system-quality or by a single user) would be exceeded. This limit is determined when the system is generated. ENOMEM There is insufficient swap space for the new pro- cess. The vforkx() function will fail if: EINVAL The flags argument is invalid. SunOS 5.11 Last change: 13 Dec 2006 2 System Calls vfork(2)
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attri- butes: ____________________________________________________________ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | |_____________________________|_____________________________| | Interface Stability | Obsolete | |_____________________________|_____________________________| | MT-Level | Unsafe | |_____________________________|_____________________________|
exec(2), exit(2), fork(2), ioctl(2), atexit(3C), exit(3C), posix_spawn(3C), posix_spawnp(3C), signal.h(3HEAD), wait(3C), attributes(5), standards(5)
To avoid a possible deadlock situation, processes that are children in the middle of a vfork() or vforkx() are never sent SIGTTOU or SIGTTIN signals; rather, output or ioctls are allowed and input attempts result in an EOF indication. To forestall parent memory corruption due to race conditions with signal handling, vfork() and vforkx() treat signal handlers in the child process in the same manner as the exec(2) functions: signals set to be caught by the parent process are set to the default action (SIG_DFL) in the child process (see signal.h(3HEAD)). Any attempt to set a signal handler in the child before execve() to anything other than SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN is disallowed and results in setting the handler to SIG_DFL. On some systems, the implementation of vfork() and vforkx() cause the parent to inherit register values from the child. This can create problems for certain optimizing compilers if <unistd.h> is not included in the source calling vfork() or if <sys/fork.h> is not included in the source calling vforkx().

Share another experience before you go.A great selection of pastries.Whether you just want a treat or you are looking for special things for a party this is the place. Great cakes.
This is a bakery. I stopped one morning to buy a cake to celebrate a birthday. The didn't have any! I needed to call in advance to get one...like several days in advance. I haven't been back since and don't plan to stop soon.
This is a GREAT PLACE to stop for a quick lunch but be sure to safe room for dessert! Their sweets are wonderful! They have great soups and sandwiches, but we all really know we go there for the treat! :)
There is nothing to dislike about this place at all the feeling you get when you first walk in the door is homey and inviting and the people who work there are stupendous! The food is awesome if you could I'd say try everything!!
This bakery is tucked away but worth looking for! Everything is made fresh from the salads, weekly specials to the baked goods and the bread that makes your sandwich! This is also a favorite place of our office and the food is great every time! I've purchased their holiday pastry trays and have had rave reviews over the lemon bars,... More
Sweet Times is a small family owned/run bakery that is located in a little plaza right on Rte #96 but almost invisible from the road. It's a favorite choice when we want to order a special lunch for the office. They serve fresh sandwiches on their homemade bread with a wide variety of "fixings" available. Weekly specials are wonderful and... More
Family owned, sweet little place (pun intended!) The Phoenix Mills Plaza is right by Van Bortle Suburu a little dip in St. RT.96. A lttle tricky to find but unforgettable after fist bite!
My favorite local bakery for brownies. There are several varieties to try. Can't decide which is better-the raspberry brownie or the rocky road. Everything else in the bakery case looks good and there are diners aplenty for lunch. Nice little family owned place!
This place has delicious baked goods and is a wonderful spot for soup and a sandwich. Homemade bread makes the sandwiches special. Nice outdoor seating area.
Ordered a cake last minute and they were able to accommodate. Got the vanilla cake with strawberry filling for a party we were hosting. Not only did it look great the taste was magnificent. Moist and tasty. Got several compliments from our guests. Highly recommend this bakery.

My friend Eliot Allen first introduced me to the concept of neighborhood completeness: that the quality of a place is defined in part by how many different functions it has in close proximity to homes and to each other. Eliot was closely involved in the creation of the LEED for Neighborhood Development green rating system, and the concept made it into the system. LEED-ND gives credit toward certification for a development that contains, or locates near, certain categories of diverse uses: supermarket, pharmacy, restaurant, child care facility, library, and so on.
I was part of the LEED-ND team as well, and I note that we did not list "bar" or "pub" as a credit-worthy neighborhood asset. But Michael Hickey, a community development consultant, makes a good case for their inclusion as "third spaces," or community hangouts.
In an article titled "In Praise of (Loud, Stinky) Bars" and posted last week in the National Housing Institute's Rooflines blog, Hickey writes:
The vaunted 'third space' isn't home, and isn't work - it's more like the living room of society at large. It's a place where you are neither family nor co-worker, and yet where the values, interests, gossip, complaints and inspirations of these two other spheres intersect. It's a place at least one step removed from the structures of work and home, more random, and yet familiar enough to breed a sense of identity and connection. It's a place of both possibility and comfort, where the unexpected and the mundane transcend and mingle.
And nine times out of ten, it's a bar.
Later in the article, Hickey posits that bars support community life in a valuable way that other establishments do not:
We shouldn't romanticize third spaces as only being about brightly lit cafes, pedestrianized streets, and the local public library. Bars work in their scruffy way by offering a place to get away from an overcrowded apartment or a squalid loft or a grimy job. They are a place where someone with little to spare can go for a change of pace ...
The goal of a bar patron is to enjoy the primary benefit of any decent third space: a place to linger. I'm still looking for someone to generate a 'lingering index' so that we can measure the impact of just plain old hanging out – but that's really at the heart of place-making, and we shouldn't forget it.
I love the idea of a "lingering index." It's right up Eliot Allen's alley, actually, since I think of him is the master of metrics in the city planning world (example here).
What does this have to do with sustainability? Well, quite a bit, in my opinion. The more complete our neighborhoods, the less we have to travel to seek out goods, services and amenities. The less we have to travel, the more we can reduce emissions. People enjoy hanging out in bars and, especially if they are within walking distance of homes, we can also reduce the very serious risks that can accompany drinking and driving.
On that subject, my friend Scott Doyon has gone so far as to map "pub sheds," or five-minute walking zones from pubs in the Atlanta suburb of Decatur. Writing in his firm's excellent blog PlaceShakers and NewsMakers, Scott concludes that the community is fairly well covered. He further suggests that, if one extends the walkability zones to ten-minute distances, it would be well-covered indeed.
Like Hickey, Scott salutes the contributions that neighborhood bars can make to community cohesion:
My town of Decatur, Georgia — already pretty walkable, especially by Sun Belt standards — has, for the past 15 years or so, been developing a thriving pub scene. In addition to some long-time institutions already in place, we now have a growing number of neighborhood-friendly taverns spread around town.
These are where neighbors go, hang out, and get to know each other, and they've contributed to the fact that, here in Decatur, craft beer has pretty much become a de facto component of the city's economic development strategy.
Later in the article, Scott adds that, "if ever there was a business you should be walking to (and from) rather than driving, it's your bar." Agreed.
I might add that, in the download age – which has already killed music stores, weakened movie theatres, put print newspapers on life support, and finished off all but a few bookstores – the remaining places where there is a sort of shared community commons are becoming ever more important. Bars qualify: you can't download a pint of Guinness.

Academic Rigor I think caldwell is challenging in some ways but I have found school is much easier when you don't have to attend from 8am to 4pm.
Tips for prospective students The 44-Core program for transfer students is the best way to finish your general education and move on to the college you desire to graduate from. Don't be lazy the teachers spell every thing out fro you so there is no reason for failure.
In three sentences Caldwell Community College has given me a way to afford school and transfer to the school I want to go to with ease. The classroom sizes are very small, which has benefitted me greatly while completing my general education. My teachers have left a good impression on me because of their caring nature.

Categories Comments Campus Safety We have campus security trolling the parking lots throughout the day. They are there when needed and should there be a need for another authority to assist, they are close by and ready to come at a moments notice.
Clubs and Activities There are several clubs that will offer a sense of belonging and give you a group of people with similar goals that you can go to when needed for a little encouragement. Many of the groups hold activities on campus to show their school spirit and offer a little information on what they really are about.
Great for these types of students CCC&TI is really great for any type of student! Straight out of high school or returning later to enhance your skills, you will find a program that fits your needs. Married, single, divorced, widowed or undecided, there is a program that will help you get your education on your own terms.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Nothing really unusual that I can speak of but we do have a Fall Fling and a Spring Fling for local vendors to come out and sell their wares as well as some of the colleges programs offer information and encourage you to explore your possibilities. The culinary program shows off their skills as well as the agricultural programs. You can buy trees, shrubs and flowers that they have grown during their program of study!
Bang for the buck Attending a smaller community college has been a blessing in disguise! You are able to get a great education and pay much less to get it. We are not in a busy downtown metropolis and we don't have all of the flashy extras that you would pay for in them either. We simply offer a quality education for a decent price.
What to do for fun Again, we are a small town so there are few options for fun. Most of the locals travel to nearby towns for entertainment. We are growing so we have a few places to hang out, study or just relax and have a good time. Bowling, arcades, movies, shopping, libraries, coffee shops and the newly famous frozen yogurt bars
Food and Dining The college café is a little pricey but we have a few options within walking distance of the campus. Fast food restaurants, and a convenience store are all around the campus.
Dorm Life We do not have dorms.
Academic Rigor Most of the classes are exactly what you would expect from a college course, however, with the class sizes being smaller, the instructors are able to answer your questions and help you understand the material a little better than you would just reading it on your own.
Tips for prospective students Take advantage of any advance registrations, book store availabilities, financial aid services or counseling services. Because we are a smaller college, there seem to be fewer seats available for classes so they fill up quickly.
In three sentences I really enjoy attending college in a small town for the atmosphere, the friendliness of staff and fellow students, and the slower pace, laid back style. The campuses are smaller so they are easy to navigate but we have access to just as many resources as some of the larger colleges.

Great for these types of students Students that are paying for college themselves or just aren't ready for a four year college yet
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Watuga campus is located on a mountain over looking several other mountains which makes for an awesome location and incredible view.
What to do for fun Caldwell sometimes throws events for students to come eat, play all sorts of games and hangout.
Food and Dining The do events that offer free food to students
Dorm Life There are no dorms because it's community
Academic Rigor Most teachers are great, school is clean with good environment, amazing view and will help you with classes and paying for them.
Tips for prospective students If you are in the Boone area and just graduated high school or are short on money then really consider going to Caldwell. It is definitely one of the best community's out there and lots of the teachers are app state teachers so you are getting the same education as you would be if you attended app.
In three sentences Caldwell Community is a great college where they really do care about their students(except for a few teachers). Definitely a good place to get started at before going to a four-year school. To rate it on a scale I'd give it a 8/10.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is extremely safe. Even though it is an open campus, I believe it is safe because you can't get away with anything. There are camera's everywhere and security officers patrolling the parking lots. They also have random checks and bring officers with their k-9 to sniff out the campus to ensure every one's safety.
Clubs and Activities They have a lot of clubs that you could participate in and a lot of activities as well. Every major has their own club and even though they are optional, they provide great ways to give back and network. You have the opportunity to meet new people and travel in all of the clubs available on campus
Great for these types of students CCC&TI is great for every type of student. Education does not discriminate and neither does CCC&TI. You have to be willing to learn and ask for help if you need it. They have many programs set in place to help students who ask for it.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The campus hang out spots are in the breezeway, the outside patio that is beside the cafeteria, in the gym, and behind H building because they have a beautiful gazebo there.
Bang for the buck I am a strong believer in you get what you pay for. With CCC&TI they aim to please you, the student. You can go to many Universities but what you are truely paying for is the reputation of their name. With CCC&TI, you don't have to be the wealthiest person in the world to attend but if you do you can assure you will be expected to learn and actions will be taken place for you to learn.
What to do for fun CCC&TI have certain events to make campus life fun. For example they will have student festivals with music, food, games, dancing contests, costume contests, and more! They also have a lot of shows playing throughout the day in their theater on campus. There is always people sitting in the lobby section of the cafeteria singing and playing music instruments. You can always find someting to do on campus!
Food and Dining They have two cafeteria's and the food is usually pretty good. If the whole cafeteria isn't your scene they have a lot of fast food places around, including a Bojangles and Captain's Gallery directly in front of the campus and an Arby's directly beside campus.
Dorm Life There is no dorm life considering this is a community college.
Academic Rigor When it comes to academics, the instructors do not play games. You have to remember, they already have their degree and education .... you are the one who needs them to make it where you want to be. They enforce the rules of the campus and the attendance policy. All the instructors I have met thus far are really overly qualified and so they are very particular about everything. They mean well and they are there to help their students better themselves and that's what I appreciate about CCC&TI.
Tips for prospective students Prospective students the best tip I could give you is to ask questions. Luckily, CCC&TI's handbook is very informative and easy to understand so you will not have many. Another tip I would give prospective students is to ALWAYS check your email because a lot of times that is the only way you will find out what is going on in some classes or on campus. Especially if you are just thinking about taking hybird or online classes.
In three sentences Caldwell Community College is a great college to get started with. Their staff members are very professional and helpful. They really like to make sure every student is treated fairly and have an excellent college experience, as well as an outstanding opportunity to learn.

In three sentences A wonderful school that I have enjoyed all the teachers that work so hard to help us learn not just remember the information.

Great for these types of students This college is great for someone who wants a laid back, easy going college. Everyone is nice and helpful. If you like small classes and need a lot of help with studying, tutoring, etc, then this is the school for you!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a beautiful walking track that goes through the woods just behind the school, not many people know about it. It leads back to the community pool and is loaded with flowers and beautiful trees and plants.
Bang for the buck The programs at this college are easy to get into and it has a pretty high success rate after graduation. They care about their students. They also have a Job Link program that helps students to find a job once they have graduated.
What to do for fun The school has many things to do for fun. The intramurals are a lot of fun. A lot of people like to go play ultimate frisbee on Wednesday. Volleyball is every Tuesday and Thursday and anyone can play, whether they are good or not.
Food and Dining There is a small canteen in the bottom of the main building. The food is overly expensive and terrible. The snack machines around campus are very cheap.
Dorm Life There are no dorms.
Academic Rigor The teachers are fairly strict, but it is because they want to see their students succeed. As long as each student pays attention and does their work, hey can make at least a B and quite possibly an A. The teachers always assign, for the most part, homework.
Tips for prospective students When applying, sign up for the first orientation so to be sure and get every class wanted. Don't listen to what other people say about teachers, as another professor what they think, they will usually be honest and really try to help. Always go to the LRC for tutoring.
In three sentences This school has wonderful teachers, with a few exceptions. All the classes are relatively small, so you can get one on one help. All the teachers are glad to help whenever you need them to.

Throwbacks, cranks, and fans of great sports names everywhere rejoice that there is a guy named Rob Gronkowski kicking butt and taking names playing tight end for a team called the Patriots. What could be more 1950s than that?
Okay let's see. Uncle Mittens works in the private sector from 1976 to 1994 and runs for office from 1994 to 2012. Unless I'm wrong, that's 18 years pillaging American businesses and another 18 years campaigning on why that makes him the right guy to be the next Senator / Governor / President. How 'bout we call it a tie.
Phone call for Captain Joe Hazelwood, there's an Italian cruise company looking for a new ship captain.
You know, now that I think of it, a career of loading up companies with unsupportable amounts of debt in order to enrich a small group of already rich people while bankrupting the company and throwing working stiffs out of work really does sound like a perfect qualification for President.
And let's not let the passing of Judge Joel Tyler go unnoticed. Thanks to his ruling, not to mention his brilliant rhetorical flourishes like "this feast of carrion and squalor," "a nadir of decadence" and "a Sodom and Gomorrah gone wild before the fire," that masterpiece of cinematic excellence, the movie classic Deep Throat, went from a crummy 49th street theater to a cultural touchstone.
It's kind of weird to think that even today, the most qualified person on the national stage to be President of the United States is probably Hillary Clinton.
Speaking of the wreck of the Edmund Fitz Costa Concordia, Coast Guard Commander Nicastro now says "The captain probably sailed too close to the shore, but we need to wait for the results of the investigation." Ummm, errrr, ya think? Have you looked at the pictures?
And can we have a warm round of populist applause for the beloved and now former governor Haley Barbour who on the way out the door to resume his man-of-the-people career as a highly paid lobbyist, speaker, and SuperPac board member "granted clemency to 215 convicts in his last few days in office, among them more than two dozen who had been convicted of murder or manslaughter." Way to go dude!
Tim Tebow resurrected his career, carried the hopes of believers everywhere, and thrilled/appalled football fans everywhere with his gutty performances across nine games. Tom Brady put on a clinic. What does it mean?
Okay, I'll bite. If being a former captain of industry (even if it was 18 years ago) is such a brilliant qualification for being President, who was the last office holder to claim the same credential? Give up? George W. Bush. And before him? Warren G. Harding (Hoover was an engineer, not the same thing). While reasonable people can disagree, I don't think either of those guys, or Hoover either for that matter, score highly on anyone's list of best Presidents. In a US News survey we find that . . .
Franklin D. Roosevelt has held his title as top president since 1982 with the same four following to round out the consistent top five: Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson.
Joining Bush in the bottom five this year are Franklin Pierce, Warren G. Harding, James Buchanan, and Andrew Johnson, who is at the very bottom for the second year in a row.
The survey, which ranks presidents using 20 different factors, shows Jefferson was the most intelligent president, Richard Nixon was the worst at integrity and avoiding crucial mistakes, Lincoln had the best overall ability, and Washington was the best leader. Here's the full list:
1. Franklin D. Roosevelt
2. Theodore Roosevelt
3. Abraham Lincoln
4. George Washington
5. Thomas Jefferson
6. James Madison
7. James Monroe
8. Woodrow Wilson
9. Harry Truman
10. Dwight D. Eisenhower
11. John F. Kennedy
12. James K. Polk

In defense of the Captain and Crew of the Costitanic, Cristiano de Musso, a cruise company spokesman, said the ship had not deviated from the course it follows "52 times a year." You know, now that I think of it, that's exactly what I would say too!
Phone call for Haley Barbour, it's Willie Horton. He says "way to go dude!"
Just spitballing here, but I think it's safe to say that all those ardent Reagan fans competing to follow in his footsteps as the next GOP President of these United States have firmly put aside his famous 11th Commandment . . .
The personal attacks against me during the primary finally became so heavy that the state Republican chairman, Gaylord Parkinson, postulated what he called the Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican. It's a rule I followed during that campaign and have ever since.
