NEW YORK — The New York Public Library is presenting an exhibition commemorating the life of Maya Angelou.
The monthlong exhibition opened Friday at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem.
The celebrated poet and author died Wednesday at her home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, at age 86. The library acquired her personal papers in 2010.
Among the exhibition highlights are her correspondence with James Baldwin and Malcolm X. Other items include a handwritten copy of her memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Also featured is the original typed copy of On the Pulse of Morning. She read the poem at President Bill Clinton's 1993 inauguration.
The exhibition runs through June 30.

April is a great month. The sun is out. It finally feels like spring. It's my birthday month. And, of course, it's Earth Day month!!
To fashion magazines, Earth Day month equates to natural beauty month. I'm not sure when the mags began spotlighting natural products each April, but I love the tradition and obviously have a lot to say about it. For instance, do these Earth Day beauty spotlights mean that magazines recognize healthy skincare is better for BOTH our bodies AND the environment???
Not sure if you noticed this in the April issues, but I thought the juxtaposition of Town & Country's Earth Day beauty review (first below) to InStyle's (second) was fascinating. InStyle asks: do natural products really work? Then T&C just goes ahead and lists beautiful celebrities' healthy beauty product favorites—noting that these products have "become less the exception than the rule." HELL YES, Town & Country!!! Who knew you'd be the most progressive of them all?!?!?
While InStyle, Women's Health, Elle, and others reviewed healthy products in their April Earth Day spotlights, they still tiptoed around these products like they might not be effective. The unhealthy mass-market brands wouldn't want you to know it, but the reality is that natural skincare is not only effective…many (dare I say most?!?) models and celebrities use natural products ONLY! In addition to those featured in the T&C spotlight, we know that Giselle Bundchen, Miranda Kerr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Alba and others are on board with natural because they either make or license their own healthy product brands (check out the name links to see their brands). The list goes on... Natalie Portman, Carolyn Murphy, Emma Stone, Zooey Deschanel...!
If the women who are in the public eye most, and who MUST care for their skin and appearances (because they're paid to do so!) all use healthy, natural skincare products ONLY--how are we still questioning whether these products work? How do we only get reviews of these products in April for Earth Day? Let's join the models, celebrities, and women with the most impeccable skin. In the wise words of the folks at Refinery29, let's make every day Earth Day...with our beauty products, and the rest of our lifestyles!

Beautiful spring day at the Boston Common!

But he was drawn to science-fiction as an adult with little background in the genre, and came out of the experience convinced that mid-century SF was a literature of ideas, richer and in some ways more complex than works of literary modernism that concentrated mostly on linguistic innovation.He writes:AdvertisementIs it possible that the idea of "realism" as a guiding principle for fiction is itself unrealistic? After all, there are no Newtonian laws in stories-an apple can just as easily fly upward from a tree as drop to the ground. Characters can ride a magic carpet as easily as walk. Any restrictions are imposed by the author, not by any external "reality," however defined.The first storytellers understood this intuitively. That is why myths, legends, folk tales and other traditional stories recognize no Newtonian (or other) limitations on their narrative accounts. These were the first examples of what I call "conceptual fiction"...Read more here.The blog is also working its way through the SF canon. Today's review is of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey.SponsoredGioia's latest book is The Birth (and Death) of The Cool. Here's my interview with him on cool as a cultural force.Image courtesy Conceptual Fiction

Dane Cook brings new material to the Greek
September 30th, 2010, 11:15 am by KELLI SKYE FADROSKI, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTERWith 20 years of stand-up work under his belt -- leading to numerous and oft-quoted comedy specials, millions of albums sold and a steady run of gigantic sold-out shows -- Dane Cook couldn't be any happier. Until recently, that is, when his joy grew even more by scheduling shows at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, a venue he's dreamed about headlining for years.
"Is it OK to scream? Woohoo!" Cook blurted out enthusiastically during a recent phone interview. "I can't believe it. It's something I've wanted to do for a very long time and I'm digging it."
That may seem strange, coming from a man who has packed Madison Square Garden, but it's all part of the next chapter of Cook's life. Though the comedian, 38, has spent the past few years performing in front of 20,000-50,000 people a night, including at places as vast as the Gator Bowl, he now has fresh material to deliver, so he wanted to simplify things on his next outing by sticking to smaller-capacity venues.
To warm up for the tour, which officially kicks off in late October, Cook will appear before a hometown crowd Saturday at the Greek, although a second show, on Sunday, has been canceled due to scheduling conflicts. Refunds are available, and those who buy tickets for Saturday instead and bring their refunded Sunday tickets to the venue will receive a $25 tour T-shirt.
"Last year I did arenas -- I did 80 through the U.S. and Canada in 14 months," Cook recalls. "I had also hit 20 years of doing stand-up comedy and it was a dream, playing big venues with big audiences. This time I wanted to hit some spots that I couldn't do before because they didn't have the capacity arenas I was looking at. I want to go to places where people could use some entertainment in this economy and could do with a feel-good show that won't break their bank account. It's going to be good."

New Survey Results: LA's Best Restaurants
Results are in for the 2014 Zagat Los Angeles Restaurant Survey, in which 19,694 surveyors voted on 1,499 restaurants to determine which spots are the cream of the crop. Angelenos revealed that on average they eat out 2.4 times a week for dinner and spend an average of $38.62 per person, just below the national average of $40.53. We don't like waiting for a table, and 49% report making reservations online, whereas 46% score their spot by phoning the restaurant - about even. We prize our sushi (four of the five Top Food winners are Japanese restaurants) and love a killer cocktail program, while raw bars and small plates have captured our hearts.
There are new lists in the Survey for every occasion, like where to linger over a boozy brunch, have lunch with your agent or plan a dinner to pop the question. Big names still top our lists, but there are a lot of newcomers to get excited about as well. Read on to find out who takes tops in key categories, and stay tuned for more Survey coverage throughout the week.

Dressing, dining, and prepping for success
Career Week runs from January 30 to February 16
When it comes to choosing a career, it's important to ask yourself the right questions, says Richard Leger, the director of BU's Office of Career Services: do you enjoy the day-to-day responsibilities associated with a particular industry? Are you motivated by the idea of working hard and getting ahead in the field?
And when it comes to actually landing a job, it's important to test your knowledge of other matters: do you know which fork to use in a lunch interview and how to match your shoes and belt?
The Office of Career Services, in association with the career offices at the College of Communication, the College of Engineering, the School of Hospitality Administration, and the School of Management, is providing assistance with all of these dilemmas during Career Week, which begins today and continues through February 16. A mix of recruiting events, information sessions, and guided discussions, Career Week is intended to help students through the job-seeking process — even if they haven't started it at all.
"One of the things we're trying to communicate to students is that the career development process isn't a separate piece," says Leger. "It's intricately linked up with your academic development and your personal development."
Two highlights of Career Week include Dress for Success, where participants will receive tips on creating their own professional style and putting together a polished appearance, and Dining for Success, where students will deal with etiquette questions that arise during work lunches or dinners. Both events require RSVPs; Dress for Success takes place on Tuesday, January 31, at 6 p.m. in Metcalf Hall and Dining for Success on Monday, February 6, at 12:30 p.m., also in Metcalf Hall.
Several job fairs are also scheduled, with emphasis on careers in engineering, government, education, and nonprofit industries. Robert O'Brien, a national recruiter with the Internal Revenue Service, suggests that students use a job fair as an opportunity to gauge their own interest level, and he encourages them to ask a lot of questions. When job seekers finally reach the interview stage, he says, recruiters look for "the ability to communicate and show an interest. Do they know anything about the organization? Do they really want to come work for us?"
The Office of Career Services will also be hosting discussion sessions geared specifically to freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, to let them know what kind of jobs and internships are available at this stage in their college career.
"We are trying to convey a strong message to students that there are career resources available to all of them," says Leger. "And the smart students are going to take advantage of as many of them as possible."

Touhula, translation in english is active
We are an upscale active kindergarten in Finland for children under school age (7 years old). Our main focus is to keep kids active during the day by exercising and doing sports in a healthy clean environment with a fun, exciting and energetic way. Name of the kindergarten is "Touhula", which means active. With the brisk, happy and positive attitude we make sure that everyone is happy and enjoys their time and activities and sports come from children's own will.
Wealthy families who want the best quality of education for their kids in the fresh and active environment where the kids can take an interest in their athletic hobbies during the school day. This gives more free time for the family to spend together at nights as kids don't need to be taken to their hobbies after day-care.
The logo that we are looking for captures the essence of an active, fun, frisky and healthy attitude. Touhula is the place where everyone gets on well and activities of the day are playful and fun.

text: Good, you made it. Were you followed? Are you sure? OK, good. Let's call this meeting to order. Ladies and gentlemen, we are pleased to report that the Maximum Effort project has been steadily gaining support in the underground community, raising awareness about the lies of the shadow government and finding footing particularly in the St. Louis area. We've found that the DIY punk scene on the city's south side has been particularly receptive, and with each event Maximum Effort's message has grown more powerful. It would be reasonable to draw parallels from the actions of this awareness group to the success of the Millions of Dead Cops project from the early '80s, both in terms of the message itself and the means of delivery. We are hoping that with further support...wait, did you hear that? Helicopters?! You fool! You said you weren't followed!

At first, a question must be made, which is "why do I need to get rid of the C stack"? The answer resides in the Perl 6 feature set, more than anything else. My inspiration on this is the stackless python project (which was not adopted by the mainstream python) because it makes the support for continuations and co-routines much easier. It would be possible to implement it using the C stack, but this would require mixing the manipulation of the C stack with the manipulation of the Perl 6 stack, which may be very complex. Let's think about the gather/take operators. They may be called from a very deep level of the stack. Mixing that with interpreted code and the C stack would be very much complex.
The solution would be to simply remove the C stack from the story. This would make a single frame stack to exist, and considering it's separated from the C stack, it's more easily manipulated. But how to implement a simple stackless C code that supports that? The solution is actually quite simple and is completely inspired in the stackless project. The key thing is, instead of calling a function, you just prepare it by sending it to the interpreter. The "machine" runs by iterating the messages and calling them. The difference here is that: if this call would call another message, instead of calling it directly, it push the call to the stack and returns immediatly. The "machine" would again pop from the stack and now it would call the deeper method, having the Perl stack complete but without feeding the C stack.

PxP Analysis Part III: The 2011 Oakland A's 2nd Basemen
Posted By Patrick Ryan On Dec 20 2010 @ 10:41 am In Oakland A's | No Comments
I wrote this article November 5th, 2010, so excuse the references toward certain events as "recent" when they are in fact not-so-recent (as in a month and a half before the posting date here at PSB). Juan Uribe has since signed with the Dodgers and Bill Hall is now an Astro. But read on. Those are far from key points here.
**Original Post**
Billy Beane recently mentioned that options and buyouts would not be addressed until the conclusion of the World Series. Well, it took the A's just two days after the Giants recorded the final out in Arlington before Oakland did what most people expected. What was once a question-mark at 2B (if only in theory) was clarified when the Athletics exercised the $6 million option on 2B Mark Ellis – in addition to the $5.75 million option on Coco Crisp. The team also opted to buyout Eric Chavez' contract for $3 million rather than picking up the $12.5 million option. It was recently revealed that Ellis qualified as a Type B free agent (missing the top 20% based on the criteria set by Elias) - meaning the A's wouldn't have received the compensatory first round pick from the signing team. Ellis himself was sure to be a proponent of the A's picking up his option, since the $6 million he's guaranteed is a lot heftier than what he'd garner on the open market. Ellis is certain to man second the majority of the year, though the A's could also use 2011 as an opportunity to ease future 2B candidates (such as Eric Sogard) into a more prominent role, thus allowing Ellis to transition into a utility position.
(pictured above: Mark Ellis will return to the A's in 2011)
2010 was an odd year for Ellis. A's fans are sure to remember his less-than-stellar beginning to the year, which was initially slowed by injury. Ellis proceeded to go on an absolute tear the last two months of the season, which ultimately allowed him to finish with a respectable line of .291/.358/.381. His .739 OPS left him tied with Freddy Sanchez for 12th out of the 24 2B with at least 450 plate appearances. Fangraphs ranked Ellis second defensively to only Chase Utley in 2010, which is a big reason as to why his 3.2 WAR (Wins Above Replacement) rating have him tied with Ian Kinsler for 8th among MLB 2nd basemen.
2010 Ellis in a Nutshell
Final line: .291/.358/.381
OPS among MLB 2B (min 450 PA): .739 – 12th out of 24
UZR among MLB 2B (min 900 Inn): 9.9 – 2nd out of 24
ISO among MLB 2B (min 450 PA): .089 – 20th out of 24
WAR among MLB 2b (min 450 PA): 3.2 – 8th out of 24
Though respectable, the numbers are deceiving. While the .739 OPS isn't something the feds might call Victor Conte about, Ellis' .321 BABIP is 28 points higher than his career average - and his highest since .335 in 2005 – meaning it's not sustainable. His ISO in 2010 was also a career low .089, which may leave fans wondering about his age catching up to him. Aside from that, Ellis should still be considered an above-average MLB 2nd baseman. His defense has certainly never been mentioned and the only knock on him is based on Ellis' health history. Though due for regression, Mark Ellis continues to be overlooked by the baseball world but the A's won't complain – unless they try shopping him.
The Backup/ The Case For Sogard
Most followers of Baseball America, Scout.com, Project Prospect, and/or Baseball Prospectus are familiar with A's farmhand Adrian Cardenas. The downside is that most followers have been familiar with him for a bit too long. Cardenas showed tremendous upside almost immediately after the Phillies took him in the 1st round in the 06′ draft. Baseball America named him in their pre-season Top 100 entering both 2008 and 2009 - going as far as naming him the top 2B prospect in all of baseball. Acquired by Oakland in the 2008 Joe Blanton deal with Philadelphia, Cardenas continued to impress through the 2009 campaign after being promoted to Triple-A Sacramento. The notion that he wasn't ready for advancement proved true once again in 2010 starting the year in Sacramento, where he posted a .228/.285/.281 line in 31 games with the River Cats. Cardenas' poor performance to start 2010 forced the A's to demote him back to Double-A Midland. Cardenas curiously managed to put a .345/.436/.469 line on his stat sheet, once again earning a trip back to Triple-A. Despite the inconsistency, the A's were pleased to watch him put up a line of .313/.362/.385 upon his return to the PCL. Unfortunately, Cardenas' recent struggles at AAA have left him in a less-favorable position with the projection analysts than two seasons ago. Questions about Cardenas are based on his disproportionate performance, defensive footwork and lack of familiarity with the 2nd-base position (he was drafted as a shortstop). Nevertheless, he remains a viable utility/backup option in addition to Ellis' potential successor in the future.
Another candidate to succeed Mark Ellis is Eric Sogard. Not as popular a prospect as Cardenas, Sogard has shown remarkable consistency at every level. The Padres' 2007 second-rounder posted a .308/.394/.453 line at High-A in 2008 and a .293/.370/.400 line at Double-A in 2009. Sogard was traded to Oakland with Kevin Kouzmanoff in the winter. Most recently, Sogard managed a .300/.391/.407 in a full season at Triple-A Sacramento, before being called up to Oakland in September. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Sogard's game is his discerning eye – he's walked a Daric Barton-esque 1.13 times per strikeout in his minor league career. Sogard is also highly regarded for his glove work - something to offer Mark Ellis enthusiasts solace.
In addition to his reputation as a defensive specialist, Sogard has posted a strikingly familiar line to Ellis in their respective minor league careers. Here's a comparison of Ellis along with the lead candidates to succeed him.
Mark Ellis: (380 MiLB Games) .292/.383/.413 .796
Eric Sogard: (441 MiLB Games) .295/.380/.414 .793
Adrian Cardenas: (516 MiLB Games) .300/.366/.411 .778
While it may seem as though I'm trying to skew the numbers in favor of Sogard, his numbers are more notable if only his full seasons are counted – meaning the 54 games he played after signing with San Diego in 2007 are taken out of the equation. The disparity between that season and the following years is huge, while the sample size is no less adequate at 387 games. His 2007 numbers could be considered an outlier; possibly a result of factors such as traveling between the Northwest League, the Midwest League, and the PCL in such a short period of time. Maybe it was a factor of playing immediatelyafter signing - or simply because it was the only season in which he changed his uniform multiple times. Either way, his performance over full seasons has been impressive.
Eric Sogard since 2008: (387 MiLB Games) .301/.388/.421 .809
As much time as I took to write about Eric Sogard, those very accolades (or those of Adrian Cardenas) could be what send them off in an offseason trade. While it's unlikely both of them are dealt, their departure wouldn't be threatening to the A's retaining a legitimate backup option at 2nd. Adam Rosales is expected to be healthy by the start of spring. "Rosy" put up solid numbers for a utility guy, posting a .271/.321/.400 while playing excellent defense all over the infield.
The 2B Market
In all honesty, there's hardly a 2B market. Scott Moore and Bill Hall are arguably the most intriguing names on the list. Since the A's have at least 4 players that could undoubtedly put up better numbers than both, there is no need to waste anymore time writing about the 2011 2B free agents. Juan Uribe is a legitimate name if you count him as a 2B. His 3.2 WAR was equal to Ellis and better than San Francisco's Freddy Sanchez. Still, the 2B market isn't quite star-studded enough for the A's to start considering anyone this year.
That's all for now.
Go A's.

What drew me to Barry Hannah's writings were the dark, flawed and richly intense characters – characters like French Edward, Dr. Hubert "Baby" Levaster and Captain Bobby Smith, U.S. Army.
I met Bobby Smith in Hannah's short story Midnight and I'm Not Famous Yet in the July 1975 edition of Esquire Magazine. Hannah's erratic prose captured the soldier's meltdown in Vietnam and the strange comfort he drew from a black-and-white action photo of a golfer named John Whitelaw back home bearing down on the ball with his driver.
At the end of the story, Smith is back home in Vicksburg and attends a golf tournament in which Whitelaw, the favorite and Smith's ideal "of what a man should be" loses the match.
In a tight bit of prose, Hannah sums up his tale (and America's "peace with honor" outcome in Vietnam as well) with these words:
"Fools! Fools! I thought. Love it! Love the loss as well as the gain. Go home and dig it. Nobody was killed. We saw victory and defeat, and they were both wonderful."
Smith would join French Edward – the brain-damaged tennis pro – and Hubert "Baby" Levaster – the depraved physician who kept Edward on his game in another Hannah short story from the collection "Airships," called "Return to Return," in Hannah's farce of a novel "The Tennis Handsome" – a tale that featured murder and a tennis match at gunpoint.
Barry Hannah deserves to be mentioned among the greats of Southern literature. Writer Larry McMurtry has called Hannah "the best fiction-writer to appear in the South since Flannery O'Connor." I agree with that.
Hannah, who died Monday at his home in Oxford at the age of 67, was one of the most intense and driven people I've known. I met him through Willie Morris in the early 1980s and quite frankly didn't like him then. He was a hard drinker, he was arrogant and he was emotionally flammable. Barry dressed in black most of the time in that era, drove a motorcycle and was despite a soaring intellect ready to throw down at the drop of a hat. We didn't mix well in those days.
When I taught journalism at Ole Miss in the mid-1990s, we reconnected and laughed about some of our earlier misadventures. One could sense that teaching had become more important to him.
Years later, I would come to know a very different man. We corresponded for several years and the older Barry Hannah was a man who was enormously generous with his time and his gifts.
He battled cancer and fatigue. The excesses of his youth gave way to a certain resignation, but never to defeat or cowardice. Into his last years, Hannah was still a fighter for the people and things in which he believed.
As director of the Master of Fine Arts creative writing program at Ole Miss, Hannah carried the fire for young writers who needed encouragement and inspiration. His enthusiasm for good writing and his insatiable curiosity spread to his students as they sought to find their own voices and influences.
My daughter was one of those students and she loved him.
We'll all cherish French Edward, "Baby" Levaster and Capt. Bobby Smith – and all of Barry's creations.
"Go home and dig it." Indeed.

What a beautiful welcome to Prague. Two large bedrooms, one with a view looking out over the red-tiled roofs of the city towards the town square. Could not be better located. Friendly pivovars, Charles Bridge and abundant restaurants are all within a 15-minute or less walk.
The apartment was spacious and had loads of character and charm. It is in a wonderful location: close to shops and restaurants and only a short walk to the city centre. We only had two minor frustrations with the apartment: 1) the washing machine did not work too well, 2) the beds were a little hard. Apart from these two minor points we loved the apartment and found the staff professional and very helpful.
Good apartment. Lift from ground floor essential if elderly/infirm as on 6th floor. Ideal location next to the River and a 10/15 min walk to Old Town and Wenceslas Square. Lovely views from balconies and good base with local bars /restaurants nearby, Third bedroom is in attic with stairs from lounge and some headheight restrictions. Great base for first visit to Prague golfing/city break. Would use again.
Great apartment!
Beautiful flat really close to London Street Tube Station, so you can get to anywhere in London in a very short time, for not a lot of money with the Oyester or Travelcard.
The location is great since it's s a very peaceful neighbourhood, away from all the hustle and bustle (perfect for a family accomodation) of other touristic areas.
It has all accomations and facilites. Very clean.
For us the train station close by was to no bother at all.
The service was great. They let us use the computer to find another flight since ours had been cancelled.
5 stars for all.
Frist Day when we get ti apartment. The lift dont Works
The internet is totalt bad
If you use the water In kitchen and bad room you be totaly wet
But after some email to owner the make all. But Internet is still totaly bad.
But this flat is really good you can walk to all
And after day 3 i Like this apartment
the department is very new and is in a very good location, just lacks a bit of warmth of home, they deliver very empty. And need a shower screen in the bathroom
The apartment's very big (we were in 6 but very very comfortable) and spacious, and very well located (in 2 minutes by feet you are in the old town square, and the area is really safe and calm during the night). The owners are from a big agency so it was well organized, they were very kind and answered the mail very quickly and in a useful way! I recommend the transport from the airport: it's easier than doing by yourself and it's not so more expensive! Then, we used it also for the way back at the same price and paying few more to have a service of luggage transfer (we didn't need to leave the apartment with all the baggage, they came to collect them up and they were on the car when the driver picked us to go to the airport!)
Just, it was not so clean (of course not even extremely dirty) and the bathroom doors were like "transparent" (not a problem, anyway not until the shower moment!!).
Anyway, I really recommend it, especially for the excellent position and for the quality/price.
A friend of mine and me we where staying at old town square apartement in the Jilska street which is a street in the oldtown center of Prague. Our apartement was quite big with 2 rooms, one for sleeping and a livingroom with extra beds for 4 persons more. The kitchen was well equipped and part of the living room (open kitchen). The area around the flat has plenty of shops, nice bars and restaurants to have cheap meals. Unfortunately close to the flats house aswell is a school with a crazy school bell that rings twice every morning at 7:45 and 8:00. So if you want to sleep long maybe its better to take some earplugs with you ;)
Little bit noisy, but it's London!
Had a great time with my family!
We were a group of 4 adults. The apartment was very clean, with plenty of room and had everything we needed. It is very close to the East Aldgate underground stop. Very convenient for getting around London. There was construction next door, they seem to be putting up a new building, so we couldn't keep the windows open due to the noise. But with the windows closed it was very quiet. Overall a great place to stay.

After a successful run at Big, which closed in June, barmen Brian Felley and Mo Hodges have taken up a Monday night residency at Muka, an upcoming tapas restaurant located between Hayes Valley and Civic Center.
The vibe in the long, narrow bar is festive cruise ship with staff wearing nautical stripes and white sailor caps. "The theme was inspired by Isaac the bartender from the TV show Love Boat," said Felley as he flashed me Isaac's trademark two finger point.
As at Big, the pair doesn't want to restrict orders to a menu, instead tailoring cocktails to each guest. "We don't want them stuck ordering whatever eight or so cocktails are on the menu," said Felley. "We want people to be able to drink something different from everyone else in the bar." The crowd plays along: I heard one guest ask for a drink that tasted "like Top Gun."
The nautical theme is embodied in a few rum-focused house drinks. There's The Captain, which is strong and slightly sweet, and Tennille, a hibiscus-based play on a margarita. The Cruise Wrecker combines rum and mezcal, and the Love Boat mixes rum with muddled strawberry and lime.
Of course, you shouldn't drink all that rum on an empty stomach. Luckily, Joshua Wilder Oakley, the man behind Tango & Stache, is on hand in a sailor outfit, dishing up tequila-braised pork shoulder tacos and fried masa cakes topped with roasted eggplant and peppers (both dishes topped with a duck egg.)
Get a closer look at the drinks and bites we tried in the slideshow above »
Most drinks run $11 and taco plates are $11 to $13. The Love Boat is open at Muka from 5 p.m. until 1:30 a.m. on Mondays, and will continue until Felley and Hodges finalize their new brick-and-mortar spot in Oakland. You can also find Tango & Stache on Wednesdays and Thursdays at Rye, as well as the occasional brunch at Dear Mom.

A New Risk Indicator To Sidestep Market Downturns: Is It Better Than VIX?
By Chris Georgopoulos, originally published on 11/14/11
Without question the most popular model to predict market crashes is the VIX, commonly referred to as the "Fear Gauge," a market index that measures the implied volatility of the S&P 500 index options. Its concept is quite simple, when the uncertainty and fear among investors rises, they commonly run to the S&P 500 options to either hedge or speculate. The increased interest in the options usually leads to higher premiums and as the premiums increase so does the VIX. However, predicting the future isn't 100% accurate, most of the time it's not even close. Every forecasting model has its flaws and the VIX is not an exception. There are many problems skeptics have found with the VIX such as; its population study is limited to only the 500 stocks of the S&P 500 and" {the} model is similar to that of plain-vanilla measures, such as simple past volatility" (Wikipedia). A blog post on sensibleinvestments.com summarized the VIX as "simply an indicator of actual volatility in the market but one that is very sensitive to changes in actual volatility particularly if it is on the downside." Is there a better way?
An elementary statistics theory states that the larger the population size, the greater the likelihood that the sample will be represented. If markets are graded by the performance of popular indexes such as the S&P 500, why limit a forecasting model's population to only 500 stocks? The economy has become global; interactions from every corner of the world's businesses affect every other business. If there is a model that forecasts market direction, should it limit itself to just the largest companies? As for only using a month or two of short term option premiums to garner a prediction, as the VIX does, it seems to limit itself to only a single variable. Instead of short term options premiums and limited samples what if we could measure real-time individual stock trend alerts on thousands of domestic and foreign stocks and ETFs? Or simply what if we analyzed the micro components (every stock) to develop a macro forecast of the market based off trends and risk?
By studying the history of risk alerts from SmartStops.net, an intelligent risk management service, two proven alternatives to the VIX were found. SmartStops.net has developed their own proprietary risk model that monitors the trends and risks to over 4,000 of the most popular stocks and ETFs. If the risks grow on any individual investment SmartStops.net alert their subscribers with both long and short term exit triggers. However not only do these alerts help individual and institutional investors manage specific investment risk, the reviews of the alerts themselves have predictive capabilities. By back-testing every alert that SmartStops.net has issued from their inception versus the S&P 500 performance, there is proof of this and the results speak for themselves.
There have only been 7 days for which the amount of Long-Term Exit Triggers (stop alerts) as a percentage of every stock and ETF covered by SmartStops.net has been over 20%. The subsequent market action of the S&P 500 has averaged a negative return for the time periods of 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. The 6 month average return is over -7% and when examined from the absolute lows of the S&P 500, the returns average over -19%. If you remove the knee-jerk market reactions caused by "Flash Crash" on 5-6-2010, the returns are even lower.
Another metric offered by SmartStops.net is their SRBI(tm) (SmartStops Risk Barometer Index); this index measures the current percentage of stocks and ETFs that are in "Above Normal Risk" state (ANR) divided by the 100 day average above normal risk percent. By definition, a stock that is listed ANR experienced a risk alert as its last SmartStop alert identifying a downtrend. Conversely, a stock that is listed in a "Normal Risk State" experienced a reentry alert as its last SmartStop alert indicating trading strength and an upward trend. Back-testing historical SRBI data since inception shows that the repercussions to the market when the percentage of downtrends increases to over 40% of all stocks and ETFs covered are profound. Below you will see that there have been only five occasions where this has happened. In each case the S&P returns for the following year were all negative.
Is this a better way?
Before a concrete conclusion can be determined, the predictive capabilities of the VIX must also be analyzed. For this study the data utilized the same time frames as SmartStops' data and reviewed two commonly watched scenarios that represent fear among VIX watchers. The first, when the VIX climbs above 40 and the second, the highest closes of the VIX. The results versus the S&P 500 are below.
The VIX does have some predictive properties. The returns from one week up to six months following the move over 40 shows on average negative returns. However, these returns are on average are smaller than the returns using either of SmartStops' models. Even more compelling, when viewed from the pinnacle of fear (while the VIX peaks), it is only accurate on a 3 month outlook. This proves that not only the VIX is inaccurate predicting longer term moves, but is actually a quality contra indicator for one year returns.
Again, is this a better method of gauging a coming market crash?
It's hard to argue with the data. Every time the LT exit triggers are over 20% of all stocks and ETFs covered for any given day, the market has fallen. Through the review of the SRBI's data we see that when the percent in the above normal risk state rises to over 40%, the market has also fallen. The performance statistics are even lower if you take into consideration that among the four thousand plus stocks and ETFs covered by SmartStops, some are inverse ETFs. Comparing this data, the results are not only surprisingly accurate, but have confirmed that both of SmartStop's market- predicting models work together to predict market crashes.
Compelling losses
Not only is the data hard to argue with but the losses that followed these alerts could be difficult to manage. The average loss for six months is over 15% and over 14% over a full year, but more importantly if we look at the lowest value intra-day price these losses could have amounted to over 35%! These are simply staggering numbers. Imagine the losses if you were heavily margined? Imagine the opportunity costs? Any investor should always be aware of the overall market and these two models can help predict it.
What does the model say about the near future?
In early August 2011 the model gave an unprecedented three alert triggers for both LT triggers of 20% and the SRBI downtrends of 40%. This is the first recorded three alert trigger within five days (8/4/2011, 8/5/2011, 8/8/2011). On 9/22/2011 the intra-day low of the S&P 500 was 1114.22, a 7.15% drop within only a month and a half! On this same day (9/22/2011) two new alerts were triggered. The forecast model has proven its accuracy time and again. Assuming we avoid another "Flash Crash" event, the models expects the market to continue its fall to an average of 15% by February 2012 and 14% by August 2012. Keep in mind, the intra-day lows of the markets could be substantially lower.

Best mainhand weapon choice, and why?
Post Reply
Return to board index

I have the choice of:
Kri'tak, Imperial Scepter of the Swarm
- Kri'tak, Imperial Scepter of the Swarm (483) + 500int Legendary Gem + Jade Spirit enchant.
Amun-Thoth, Sul's Spiritrending Talons
- Amun'thok, Sui's Spirit Rendering Talons (502) + Jade Spirit.
Mr Robot swears blind that Amun'thok is better for me, but my own calculations show that due to the +500 int gem in Kri'tak, that it is better than Amun'thok for me.
Can anyone shed some light as to why MrRobot swears blind that I need to go with Amun'thok?
My char.
Thanks in advance.

I suspect you are undervaluing the differences in raw spell power that both weapons provide due to item level differences.
Take a look at Wowhead's
item comparision tool
, so you don't miss any differences between the weapon options. Also, you can edit weight scales in both AskMrRobot and the Wowhead tool if you want to.

If you comapre the two weapons, you'll see
Amun-Thoth, Sul's Spiritrending Talons
will provide a net of 770 spell power over
Kri'tak, Imperial Scepter of the Swarm
with the gem. Add this to the fact that you get more spirit and mastery instead of crit, and you should see why it's a sure upgrade.

I see, silly me forgot to account for the raw spellpower.

Chiropractic Research Results for Cerebral Palsy
Improvement in Paraspinal Muscle Tone, Autonomic Function and Quality of Life in Four Children with Cerebral Palsy Undergoing Subluxation Based Chiropractic Care Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research 2006 (Jun 21): 1-15 Chiropractic care directed at reduction of subluxation was undertaken. Paraspinal surface electromyography and thermography readings were taken prior to the initiation of care and approximately one month (12 visits) later. The mothers and care providers in each case monitored changes in activities of daily living and quality of life. All four children showed improvement in paraspinal muscle tone (improved symmetry and decreased amplitude) as well as a decrease in the number of levels of abnormal thermography readings. All four children showed improvement in activities of daily living including mobility, feeding, and postural control. Combined Treatment with Techniques of Manual Medicine and Physiotherapy in Children with Infantile Cerebral Palsy Manuelle Medizin 2003 (Aug); 41 (4): 279-827 The 54 children improved by 2.95 points (on the GMFM) or by 6.8% in their gross motor abilities during the first 2-week complex therapy. During the 7-month subsequent observation period the 18 remaining patients' former results were augmented by a further gain of 1.31 points or 3.13%. There was a long-term improvement by 3.4 points or 10.44% after the total study period of 7.5 months. After a second 2-week course of complex therapy the overall improvement in gross motor abilities was 5.71 points or 17.53%. Cortical Blindness, Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, and Recurring Otitis Media: A Case Study in Chiropractic Management Todays Chiropractic 1998; 27 (3): 16-25 ~ FULL TEXT The role of chiropractic in the management of visceral disorders remains clouded with regards to possible benefits. Observations of one patient presenting with cortical blindness, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and recurrent otitis media are reported. Relief of symptoms is noted subsequent to correction of biomechanical aberrations of the occipito-atlanto-axial complex. The author suggests a relationship between biomechanical faults in the upper cervical spine and the manifestation of abnormal central neurophysiological processing.

The kibitzers were: 10-poet, short-story writer, and drama critic Dorothy Parker; 11-humorist Robert Benchley, who that year switched from the drama desk of pre-Luce Life to that of The New Yorker , and was making the, first of his movie shorts; 12-Irving Berlin, who since The Follies of 1927 had been writing songs for Hollywood musicals; 13-Harold Ross, editor of The New Yorker ; 14-Beatrice Kaufman, the playwright's wife, whose own game was championship bridge; 15-Alice Duer Miller, grande dame , writer of popular fiction for the women's magazines, and wife of Henry; 16-Herbert Bayard Swope, who that year retired as executive editor of the World ; 17-George Backer, a newspaper reporter and future publisher of the New York Post ; 18-Joyce Barbour, an English actress appearing on Broadway that season in Spring Is Here ; 19-Crosby Gaige, theatrical producer and bon vivant . The picture was commissioned by Bonner.
The origins of the Thanatopsis Pleasure and Inside Straight Club lie somewhere between a bar in Paris and the apartment of Harold Ross, its dissolution somewhere between a room above the Colony Restaurant and the Long Island home of Herbert Bayard Swope.
At its zenith it occupied quarters in the Algonquin Hotel and the Saturday nights of as colorful a group of poker players as ever sat down together outside a Bret Harte short story. It was sometimes called the Thanatopsis Literary and Inside Straight Club, and the honor of founding it was, at different times, claimed by or for F. P. Adams, Alexander Woollcott, Ross, and a press agent named John Peter Toohey.
The Thanatopsis was a part of New York in the twenties, a city and a time that seem as far away and wonderful to us now as Athens and the Age of Pericles appeared to the lonely literates of the early Middle Ages. New York was then a city of infinite promise to the talented. Loose inside its skin like a healthy puppy, the town had lots of room for the dreamers who poured into it after World War I, ready to set the place on its ear with plays, poems, novels, paintings, sculpture, music, acting and all the other ways of shooting a rocket at the bright star of fame. In those days there were plenty of lofts for artists, garrets for poets, walk-ups for playwrights and actors; and at lunchtime there was the Round Table in the Rose Room of the Algonquin.
New York is an old dog now, with smoke-dimmed eyes and office buildings for fleas. The artists and writers are thinly scattered across its boroughs and suburbs, and no single group wields the critical power or sets the cultural tone of the city as did the circle that lunched at the Round Table and, with some changes of cast, played poker at the Thanatopsis Club.
"The first game was played," wrote Frank Adams years afterward, "at the apartment then jointly occupied by two recently returned members of the 1918 Stars and Stripes staff, Pvt. Harold W. Ross and Pvt. John T. Winterich. Sgt. Alexander Woollcott, Heywood Broun and I were at that first game."
The name was stolen from Sinclair Lewis' Main Street: "And of course there's our women's study club—the Thanatopsis Club…they've made the city plant ever so many trees, and they run the rest room for farmers' wives. And they do take such an interest in refinement and culture. So—in fact, so very unique."
After meeting for a while in various other apartments, the club settled into the Algonquin, whose owner, Frank Case, had offered them the use of a room. The Thanatopsians stayed there for a number of years, usually starting right after the Round Table broke up its Saturday luncheon and continuing, on occasion, straight through to Monday morning. Along the way there would be cases of what Adams called "Winners' Sleeping Sickness" and "Losers' Insomnia, or Broun's Disease," but new players were recruited from the ring of kibitzers which always surrounded the table. Some of these were subs waiting the call from the bench; some were friends or wives of the contestants; many were wide-eyed newcomers from Colorado or Kansas. These younger people were much awed by the Presences and remained alertly attentive to the possibility of profound, or at least witty, remarks.

Burn forever original & Michael brun' are both good… Which to choose?
Having proven their unified strength with their remix of 'You Used Me' earlier this year, Australian trio Those Usual Suspects unite with local peer Nordean for their first collaborative stint for Dirty South's Phazing imprint with the 'Burn Forever' EP.
Where the original mix of 'Burn Forever' mixes the familiar vocal stylings of 'Walking Alone' topliner Erik Hecht with a smooth yet stubborn run of melodic developments and uplifting hooks, Haitian boywonder Michael Brun brings a sharper peak time rendition to the package. With EP B-side 'Prophet' showcasing the collaborative force at an instrumental high with progressive grooves and euphoric synths in full-effect, this latest EP off Phazing Records sets the imprint in positive motion towards the New Year.
Out today on Beatport.

Most people with parvovirus infection have no signs or symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they vary greatly depending on the age of the person who has the disease.
Early signs and symptoms of parvovirus infection in children may include:
Several days after the appearance of early symptoms, a distinctive bright red facial rash may appear — usually on both cheeks. Eventually it may extend to the arms, trunk, thighs and buttocks, where the rash has a pink, lacy, slightly raised appearance. The rash may be itchy, especially on the soles of the feet.
Generally, the rash occurs near the end of the illness. It's possible to mistake the rash for other viral rashes or a medicine-related rash. The rash may come and go for up to three weeks, becoming more visible when a child is exposed to extreme temperatures or spends time in the sun.
Adults don't usually develop the slapped-cheek rash. Instead, the most prominent symptom of parvovirus infection in adults is joint soreness, lasting days to weeks. Joints most commonly affected are the hands, wrists, knees and ankles.
Generally, you don't need to see a doctor for parvovirus infection. But if you or your child has an underlying condition that may increase the risk of complications, make an appointment with your doctor. These conditions include:

Will Gold Officially Replace the US $ on June 28th? | |
Oiled In Florida (OP) User ID: 14852400 United States 04/23/2012 08:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The implications of China paying for Iranian oil in gold is the most important event in the modern history of gold: 1. It is reasonable to assume that China has been threatened with total or at least selective exclusion from the SWIFT system if it pays in any currency for Iranian oil. 2. Gold has been decided by China as the means of making payment for massive international purchases free of the SWIFT system. 3. Other Asian and Middle Eastern nations will now see the gold they hold as money free of Western economic interference. 4. Gold now is not only money free of liability, but also free from interference regarding settlement by the long arm of Western influence. 5. The SWIFT system is becoming ever more a weapon of Western international political will. 6. In case of war anywhere, it is now demonstrated for all to see that only gold will buy the materials required. Paper currencies are under the SWIFT system's control in settlement. 7. Far from being a barbaric relic, gold is now clearly the money of state survival in every sense. 8. It is reasonable and possible for the supply of physical gold to fall far behind the size of the massive short positions now common to algorithm and hedge fund paper shorts. That will make an effective cover at a reasonable price as compared to a certain day's close impossible the following day on an exogenous event. 9. It may not be possible to use TA of any nature to determine a price of overvaluation for gold. Should the USA decide to take on China in full out economic war with the physical market totally illiquid, such as through isolation from the SWIFT system, consider the gold price that might result.
