Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights: Dollar Tree, Watson Pharmaceuticals and Enterprise Products Partners
Jul 25, 2012, 09:30 ET
CHICAGO, July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights Features: Dollar Tree (Nasdaq:DLTR), Watson Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:WPI) and Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD).
3 Safe Havens to Weather the Storm
It's tough to be bullish on the stock market right now.
Recent economic data suggests that the U.S. economy is slowing and close to stall speed. And while companies have managed to deliver a decent number of positive earnings surprises this quarter, revenue growth - which is harder to manipulate than EPS - has been anemic.
The picture isn't any prettier overseas either. Bond rates are near bailout-levels in both Spain and Italy. And economic growth in the emerging markets is slowing considerably.
Don't Sell Everything Just Yet
Investors looking for some safety amid a potential market storm may be tempted to flee stocks altogether. But not all stocks will get beaten down during a bear market. In fact, during 2008 - the 3rd worst year for the stock market in its history - 6% of the S&P 500 finished in the green for the year.
That's not spectacular, but it does show that there are pockets of safety during a market pullback. So rather than stuffing your money under the mattress or into ultra-low yielding bonds or savings accounts, consider these three areas of the stock market instead:
Discount Retail
Discount retailers made a killing during the Great Recession as consumers tightened their belts and traded down from higher-priced stores. And this trend has continued even as the economy has slowly improved since then. While the U.S. consumer may be sick of pinching pennies (a condition known as "frugal fatigue"), unfortunately it doesn't look like they have much of a choice. Incomes have been stagnant as the job market continues to struggle.
Don't expect Americans to leave discount retailers anytime soon - recession or not.
Generic Pharmaceuticals
Americans' frugality isn't just benefitting discount retailers. According to the Generic Pharmaceutical Association, Americans saved over $157 billion in 2010 by choosing generic drugs over their brand name counterparts.
And with close to 10,000 Baby Boomers in the U.S. turning 65 every day, demand will only continue to grow. This gives generic drugs the enviable position of growth and defense to weather any market conditions.
Master Limited Partnerships
For investors wanting to add some defense to their portfolio while also generating solid income, MLPs can be a great addition. Most MLPs operate in the midstream sector which gathers, processes, transports and stores oil, natural gas, and refined petroleum products.
The midstream subsector is particularly attractive because it generates fee-based income that doesn't fluctuate with volatile commodity prices. This allows the partnership to provide steady cash flows to its partners. In fact, no midstream MLP was forced to cut its distribution during the financial crisis, even as commodity prices plummeted.
That's stability.
3 Safe Havens
Discount Retailer:
Dollar Tree (Nasdaq:DLTR)
Dollar Tree is the largest single-price-point retailer in the U.S. with over 4,300 stores in 48 states. Just how resilient would Dollar Tree be during a market pullback? If 2008 is any indication, shares were up more than 60% that year.
Consensus earnings estimates have steadily risen in each of the 5 years, both during and after the Great Recession:
Generic Pharmaceutical:
Watson Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:WPI)
Watson is among the top five pharmaceutical companies in the United States and among the top four generic companies in the world, based on total prescriptions. Shares of the generic drug maker were down just 2% in 2008 as sales and profits held strong.
And consensus estimates over the last 5 years have moved primarily in just one direction – up.
Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD)
Enterprise Products Partners is the largest publicly traded energy partnership. It provides midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), crude oil, refined products and petrochemicals. Its 50,000 miles of pipelines link producers from some of the largest supply basins in North America with domestic consumers and international markets.
Enterprise Products Partners has increased its distribution a remarkable 32 consecutive quarters - even throughout the Great Recession. Since 2000, it has raised it at a compound annual growth rate of 8%. It currently yields 4.6%.
The Bottom Line
While the stock market is facing many headwinds, not all stocks will get clobbered if there is a selloff. These 3 stocks should hold up relatively well if we are headed for some increased turbulence.

The Truth About Emanuel
Unfortunately saddled with one of those titles that leaves itself open to pun-filled reviews , there's not much truth to be found in The Truth About Emanuel, a film that's sadly unaware with how utterly ridiculous it comes across to the viewer.
The story follows Emanuel (Katia Scodelario), a surly teenager who's closing in on 18, but still feels pangs of guilt due to the fact that her mother died while giving birth to her. She takes out her anger on her new stepmom (Frances O'Connor), and her doting father (Alfred Molina) struggles to understand the fire burning inside his daughter. Emanuel begins to connect with her mysterious new neighbor Linda (Jessica Biel), who Emanuel agrees to babysit for.
The film's twist, which is revealed within the first act of the movie, is that Linda's daughter isn't a real baby, but a doll that Linda thinks is real and is using as a coping mechanism. Not wanting to break the spell that Linda has cast on herself, Emanuel goes along with Linda's psychosis, and what follows is a ridiculous game of keep away (or, better put, pretend the baby is alive) like some twisted, direct-to-DVD sequel of Weekend at Bernie's. Emanuel bends over backwards to prevent anyone to get a glimpse at the plastic baby, and the last hour of the movie feels like a rejected C-plot of the worst mid-'80s sitcom never created.
The film's two protagonists are flip sides of the same grief stricken coin. Emanuel is a daughter riddled with the guilt over killing her mother, while Linda's very being is swallowed up by the loss of her child. The film wants to say some very poignant things about loss and grief, but even without the fake baby plotline flinging the story down into the bowels of unintentional farce, the film's writing is still too blunt and sloppy to express its ideas well. The characters ring false and the script clunks and clatters its whole way through with groan inducing lines. Adding the baby plotline on top of all that ensures that almost nothing in this film that comes off as true.
There is a film in here somewhere that could have carried the story about the coping mechanisms we build to escape our grief, but The Truth About Emanuel just isn't self aware enough to know how ridiculous it comes across, and the cast just isn't up to task to sell a dramatic story that could have just as easily worked as the main gag in a backburner SNL skit.

This is a total conversion for BfME2. As I am a coder and decided not to make this mod public until I have a first Beta to show there are no new models, skins or other textures included. The first beta includes one complete faction (The Empire of Tohrnheim) with all new units (swordsmen, pikemen, shieldmen, musicians, blademasters, archers, crossbowmen, light cavalry, knights, paladins, horse archers and siege machines). This new faction replaces the MotW faction, further releases will replace all other factions and add more, they will also add new special powers and heroes, as right now I only cut the heroes and left the special powers unchanged (except for Army of the Dead, which I disabled). All units now come in bigger batallions (infantry normaly 30 units each, cavalry 15), melee units do nearly no damage to structures and fire only harms wood-based structures (and does nothing at all to walls, towers or fortresses), there is no way to destroy a base without siege... Also naval warfare...
Only registered members can share their thoughts. So come on! Join the community today (totally free - or sign in with your social account on the right) and join in the conversation.
This picture should give you an idea of the
increased range of archers. They have two weapons
now, one long range weapon (range 600, minimum
range 300) which just hits the spot where it is
fired at (like trebuchets) and one short range
weapon (range 300) with a chance to hit of 40%.

The premise: Abbey Force has lost almost everything in the last nine months. Her dad's been accused of an enormous robbery and her home, Reward Plantation, has been sold to cover his debts. Worst of all, Abbey's dad's been in a coma since all this came about and can't even clear his name. Then the 'No Trespassing' signs show up on Abbey's old property and she and her new friend Bee start poking around. Turns out what's going on dates all the way back to Civil War times and just might right the wrongs done to Abbey's dad.
What I loved: The adventure. The mystery. The action. Abbey's bravery. And I also love how J.E. Thompson blends the contemporary with the past and weaves needed healing with recent times and the long-ago. It's brilliant. The Girl from Felony Bay is reminiscent of Three Times Lucky with its mystery and its setting-that-becomes-a-character. A great, great story and one I'll read again and again.

March 2, 1965-May 17, 2013
MOUNT OLIVE -- Terry Glenn Lee, 48, Baker's Chapel Church Road, Mount Olive, passed away Friday night, May 17, 2013, in a tractor-truck accident in which a granddaughter, Kelsey Rena Davidson, was also severely injured and died several hours later.
Terry, a 1983 graduate of Southern Wayne High School, loved the outdoors. He was especially fond of all farm animals, and enjoyed gardening, and more so, in tending it with his team of mules.
He was a member of the North Carolina Work Horse and Mule Association.
An employee of WAGES as a weatherization technician, he had previously been employed at Hilex-Poly, and also locally as a carpenter and farm assistant.
He is survived by his wife, Teresa "Shorty" Arnette Lee of the home; a daughter, Ashley Lee of Sorrento, Fla.; his parents, Nelson and Carolyn Murphy Lee of Mount Olive; a stepdaughter, Jennifer Holmes Davidson and her significant other, Deborah Price, of Mount Olive; a stepson, Rickie Dean Holmes and his fiancee´, Sara Landers, of Mount Olive; a brother and sister-in-law, Michael and Ann Lee, and their children, Michael Jr., Kevin and Megan Lee of Mount Olive; a sister, Nancy Lee of Faison; three grandchildren, Skyler Nicole Davidson, Nicholas Scott Davidson and Kylie Jay Holmes; and his wife's family, the Joe William and Edna Smith Arnette family.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Emmitt and Eula Murphy and Corbitt and Georgia Lee.
Funeral services for Terry and Kelsey will be held Thursday, May 23, at 7 p.m. at Mount Olive First Pentecostal Holiness Church, 142 Ed Edmundson Road, Mount Olive, officiated by the Rev. Jeff Dail and Mr. Jerry Boone, and followed by visitation in the church fellowship hall.
Friends and family are also being received at the Lee residence.
Committal and interment will be Friday, May 24, at 11 a.m. at Wayne Memorial Park. Terry and Kelsey's casketed remains will be taken through the cemetery to their resting place by Terry's team of mules as a lasting tribute to him and his love for them.
While floral tributes are welcome, should anyone desire to help financially toward funeral expenses, contributions may be made to the funeral home.

We went to Prince William National Forest this weekend. It was a nice hike, but my heel started acting up, so we had to cut it short.
I found this on the bathroom wall.
Bathroom Wall Worries
As best as I can decipher, it says:
I've never written on a bathroom
wall before but I feel the [need?]
to reach out to you…
I am booked to go to Thailand,
and I am scared and don't
want to go (my trip is alone).
My [siblings?] hate me for it and
all I was trying to do is find
my self and happiness… I am
going to cancel my ticket and [run?]
[away?] from them. My [family?]…
I leave you with this:
In any decision you
choose, do it for your
self and your self only.
Doubt will kill your hopes and dreams.

This is an elegant solution to the challenges faced when trying to meet the unique needs of small business clients. It gives participants more control and better usage information, and overall helps to better manage the provincial energy grid.
Mississauga, Ontario (PRWEB) October 15, 2014
Summerhill is pleased to announce that it has been chosen by Enersource, Mississauga's local electricity distribution company, to deliver the utility's expanded peaksaver PLUS® program. While the peaksaver PLUS® program is well-established in the residential sector throughout Ontario, Enersource is now offering the program to small business customers with the added benefit of remote web access to the thermostat.
Through a competitive process, Summerhill's unique service offering was chosen to help Enersource launch the revised program, which focuses on the reduction of electricity consumption when demand is at its highest. Summerhill partnered with Energate (manufacturer of the Foundation web-enabled programmable thermostat), Blue Line (manufacturer of the Blue Line Optical Meter Reader), and Trico (a local electrical contractor) to propose a solution that would fit the needs of business customers.
The new program is available to approximately 17,000 businesses in Mississauga. By participating, small businesses receive detailed information and have more control over their energy consumption through a web-enabled programmable thermostat that displays near real-time electricity usage. Customers will be able to track their energy consumption and change the settings on the thermostat remotely, via web or smart phone app.
The peaksaver PLUS® electricity use adjustments may only occur on weekdays (not weekends or holidays), to a maximum of 10 times per calendar year, and is limited to four hours in duration, usually between 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This may result in up to a 2 degree Celsius change in room temperature. Adjustment events can happen only from May to September, and participants can opt out in advance of any event.
"This is an elegant solution to the challenges faced when trying to meet the unique needs of small business clients. It gives participants more control and better usage information, and overall helps to better manage the provincial energy grid," notes Ersilia Serafini, Summerhill's president.
"Blue Line has seen considerable uptake in the Ontario market as part of peaksaver PLUS®, but the small commercial market is a new growth area and we are very happy to be partnered with Summerhill to implement this innovative program for Enersource," notes Peter Porteous CEO of Blue Line Innovations Inc.
For more information or to register for the program, please call 905-821-5705.

Lenard Hart VP Sales & Marketing Summerhill 416.922.2448 ext. 224 (or cell 416.898.0835)
Background information:
The Foundation thermostat features:
- Programmable settings to economise on energy use when the business is closed
- A built-in energy display provides near real-time data on electricity usage
- Wi-Fi connectivity to monitor electricity consumption and thermostat control from a tablet or smartphone.
How the peaksaver PLUS® program works:
The more peaksaver PLUS® participants there are in the community, the more the program helps during peak demand times to create real environmental benefits. Trained technicians will be visiting qualified Mississauga businesses to answer any questions about the program, as well as to complete installations. More than 200,000 Ontario residents have already signed up to help manage peak demand and create real environmental benefits – you can too!

Causality offers the first comprehensive coverage of causal analysis in many sciences, including recent advances using graphical methods. Pearl presents a unified account of the probabilistic, manipulative, counterfactual and structural approaches to causation, and devises simple mathematical tools for analyzing the relationships between causal connections, statistical associations, actions and observations. The book will open the way for including causal analysis in the standard curriculum of statistics, artificial intelligence, business, epidemiology, social science and economics.
'Without assuming much beyond elementary probability theory. Judea pearl's book provides an attractive tour of recent work, in which he has played a central role, on causal models and causal reasoning. Due to his efforts, and that of a few others, a Renaissance in thinking and using causal concepts is taking place.' Patrick Suppes, Center for the Study of Language and Information, Stanford University 'Judea Pearl has come to statistics and causation with enthusiasm and creativity. his work is always thought provoking and worth careful study. This book proves to be no exception. Time and again I found myself disagreeing both with his assumptions and with his conclusions, but I was also fascinated by new insights into problems I thought I already understood well. This book illustrates the rich contributions Pearl has made to the statistical literature and to our collective understanding of models for causal reasoning.' Stephen Fienberg, Maurice Falk University professor of Statistics and Social Science, Carnegie Mellon University 'The book is extremely well written, and while mathematically precise, provides a thought-provoking study of causality and its implications.'

This week's bad writing advice award goes to a special group of middle school teachers who are trying turn the passive, limp prose of their students into something more literary. In this article, 'Use More Expressive Words!' Teachers Bark, Beseech, Implore, the Wall Street Journal's James R. Hagerty reports on a new trend: banning certain "dead" words from student essays. Words like: good, bad, nice, a lot, ok, fun, thing and stuff.
"We call them dead words," said (or declared) Leilen Shelton, a middle school teacher in Costa Mesa, Calif. She and many others strive to purge pupils' compositions of words deemed vague or dull.
"There are so many more sophisticated, rich words to use," said (or affirmed) Ms. Shelton, whose manual "Banish Boring Words" has sold nearly 80,000 copies since 2009.
It's hard to teach people how to write, and I understand the impulse–after all, who wants to read hundreds of essays that use the word "good" as the main adjective? However, sometimes good is the perfect word. They also ban "said" and yet more often than not "said" is sufficient and preferable over cloying alternatives like cooed, quipped, spat or uttered. Banning the words outright doesn't solve lazy writing, it just takes the same flat prose and injects distracting language.
Why do writers use these words?
1. They are non-committal.
2. They lack confidence.
3. Or it's the perfect word.
Does banning these words solve 1 or 2? Nope.
Here's the challenge with writing:
You have to make decisions about what to highlight –>
To do that you have to know what you're trying to say –>
To do that you have to take a position.
A middle school student is no different than any other writer, except perhaps they have less practice at getting beyond the daunting blank page.
"Rather than saying, 'This soup was good,' you can say something like, 'The soup was delectable,' which really enhances it," Josh instructed. "It gives it sort of this extra push."
"This soup was good," is non-committal and vague – it's a throw-away line. But calling it "delectable" doesn't solve that problem. "Delectable" just means "delicious" which means it tasted good. It's lipstick on a pig. It might sound better at first glance but it doesn't put the reader at the table with you, sitting over a steaming bowl of homemade chicken soup, while your grandmother wipes off her hands with a hand towel, watching you expectantly. It doesn't give the reader a sense of how it smells, tastes, or feels in your mouth. It doesn't communicate the sense memory that comes back to you every time you eat her soup or the way it burns your tongue but you keep eating anyway.
It's flat.
Word choice does not change that.
What's a better way?
The student needs to decide if the soup is part of their story, if it's something worth slowing down the pace of the narrative to explore. If it is, then they should stop, imagine the scene and fully describe it. If not, "This soup was good," is perfectly fine. Perhaps the soup was just good. The unsaid can communicate too.
Writing is not just about word choice, grammar or sentence structure. Those are tools. There's no shortcuts, no easy to apply rules and certainly no list of words we should avoid. If you want to improve your writing, look for those "dead" words and find the opportunity. Can you expand on the idea? Can you set the scene? Should it be cut? What job is that sentence doing? These teachers are right about the problem, I just don't agree with the solution.

`Beyond Category," indeed. On the one hand, there has been the jazz tradition, ever vital, ever evolving. On the other, there was the regal Ellington and his band, a tradition occasionally influencing or influenced by the mainstream of jazz, separate yet also vital and evolving.
In 1988 the Smithsonian Institution acquired a warehouse-roomful of music (mostly unpublished) and memorabilia about Ellington, 200,000 pages of documents altogether, preserved through the decades by his son Mercer. Three years later the Duke's sister, Ruth Ellington Boatwright, gave the Smithsonian a second treasure trove of Ellington artifacts. With all this material at his disposal, one could hope that in "Beyond Category," Smithsonian curator John Edward Hasse would write the definitive Ellington biography.
He has not-but even so, this may well be the most satisfying Ellington biography we'll see. The man, after all, was an enigma. He wrote a notoriously unrevealing autobiography, "Music Is My Mistress," without a negative word in it, not even about the gangsters, vultures and racist loons of the show biz milieu in which he moved.
He wore, said his sister, "veil upon veil upon veil." His wife, whom he treated shabbily, called him "a lonely man. He masks his emotions. Never wants you to know how he actually feels." These were two of the people who knew him best.
His manner was grand, his charm was infinite, but he was also a shameless manipulator of people who, as Hasse demonstrates, went to great lengths to avoid conflict. Indeed, though the author says his book "is primarily a career biography," its revelations and insights about Ellington the man are among its most valuable features.
Ellington surely had personal oddities that may tempt the careless to construct elaborate theories about his personality, as did James Lincoln Collier in his cranky book "Duke Ellington." Hasse avoids the temptation. He has more information to offer than Collier, and he presents it without hypotheses.
The Ellington that emerges from "Beyond Category" is, above all, a dedicated artist. In the mid-1920s the unique "growl" sound and blues harmonies of his trumpeter Bubber Miley sparked bandleader Ellington's first masterpieces. One by one the other classic sidemen-including growling trombonist Tricky Sam Nanton, exuberant altoist Johnny Hodges, rich baritonist Harry Carney, cobwebby clarinetist Barney Bigard-joined the band. After the Louis Armstrong-inspired Cootie Williams replaced Miley in 1930, the seeds of the Swing Era were sown in Ellington's music.
What Ellington did (and this is crucial to his genius) was recognize unique features of each sideman's playing and compose works that dramatized those features. Some men griped that the boss stole their ideas, but few could sustain creative careers away from the Duke, and most principals of his classic early 1940s' band returned to conclude their careers with him.
So there are Ellington's Jungle Band triumphs of the late 1920s, international fame in the 1930s and, after he broke with his manager, Irving Mills, in 1938, an explosion of creativity. ("Such music is not only a new art form, but a new reason for living," wrote poet Blaise Cendrars.) By the mid-1940s the band began suffering drastic personnel turnovers and its leader was increasingly composing suites on programmatic themes. After a triumph at the 1955 Newport Jazz Festival restored his popularity, there came his film soundtracks, sacred concerts, honors aplenty and visits with U.S. presidents.
And that was Ellington's real life-that and the continual composing, day after day, wherever in the world he was or was traveling to, and the continual rehearsing of new music with the band. Forget the regal personality. The real life of Duke Ellington was there for our ears to hear, night after night, and in hundreds of recordings. Writing interestingly about such a devoted artist can be difficult, but Hasse's book is as engaging as it is informative.
Two years after he published his own superb book, "Early Ellington," Mark Tucker has compiled "The Duke Ellington Reader," a fat collection of valuable writings about Ellington. Possibly because I read "Beyond Category" first, I found several of the anthology's critical commentaries to be among its most stimulating features.

NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) – The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved an assault weapons ban, this despite the objections of two Texas Senators.
Senator John Cornyn led the argument against the ban pointing to every citizen's right to bear arms. "I just think it's inadequate and you are criminalizing otherwise law abiding citizens, inappropriately in my view," he said.
Senator Ted Cruz then argued with California Senator Diane Feinstein asking if she would limit the first amendment as well. "Would she consider it constitutional for Congress to specify that the First Amendment shall apply only to the following books," Cruz questioned. Feinstein responded, "Just know that I've been here for a long time. I've passed on a number of bills. I study the constitution myself. I am reasonably well educated and I thank you for the lecture."
Cornyn also argued that Americans face a different kind of threat with drug cartels crossing the border, with heavy firepower. "Criminals are going to have access to the whole range of weapons that they will have access to, because they don't care about the laws that are passed. And we're gonna give the American citizen a pea-shooter to defend themselves with."
Senator Feinstein countered that Congress has the power to ban military type guns and questioned the reason for everyday citizens to have them. "Do they need other high-powered weapons that military people use to kill in close combat? I don't think so," she said.
The assault weapons ban measure passed with a 10-8 vote. Surviving in the Democratic-controlled committee does not ensure success for the proposal. The measure will face an uphill effort in the full Senate.

CONGRESS HAS applied a pound of cure to the Veterans Administration`s health care system with a bill that will tighten medical quality standards, but not without flinging a little more of the political poison that has contributed to many of the VA`s problems.
Sen. Jeremiah Denton, R-Ala., became the fly in the ointment when he added to the VA Health Care Amendments of 1985 a measure that could revive a once- rejected plan to put a VA hospital in Mobile, Ala., by calling for additional study.
VA studies already have concluded a new hospital would be better situated in the Florida Panhandle, closer to a larger population of veterans. Sen. Lawton Chiles, D-Fla., countered with an amendment saying the Alabama plan would not preclude the VA from building a hospital in the Florida Panhandle. Both amendments are in a bill awaiting the president`s signature.
Denton`s amendment is the kind of political gamesmanship that hampers the VA. A VA hospital may be good for Denton`s re-election campaign and may provide new jobs and local health care for a small group of veterans, but a hospital located for political gain strains VA resources. The result can be health care of questionable quality.
Even so, Denton`s pork-barrel rider does not overshadow the excellent reforms contained in the health care bill. The measure requires VA officials to set acceptable death and injury rates for all types of surgery and to periodically evaluate whether VA hospitals are reporting significant deviations from the norms. The bill also amends a 1980 secrecy law to prevent VA officials from suppressing illness or mortality rates associated with specific programs at individual VA hospitals.
The need for these reforms came to light after the News/Sun-Sentinel launched an investigation into heart surgery death rates at VA hospitals. The newspaper sought, but was denied access to, VA medical quality records in 1980. After a four-year court battle, the records were released, revealing a history of excessive heart surgery death rates in 12 VA hospitals.

Backcountry Skiing California's Eastern Sierra 2nd Edition is pretty much the bible of backcountry skiing books for the Sierra Nevada and will keep you glued to the mountains for years. From the back of the book: Blessed with a deep snowpack, sunny skies, and high-elevation peaks, the Eastern Sierra has some of the world's best backcountry skiing and snowboarding. This expanded and improved second edition covers every major peak and canyon in the range, and describes more than 200 descents, from the moderate bowls of The Sherwins, to the high-alpine exposure of Mt. Whitney, to some of the most extreme skiing challenges in America. Loaded with inspiring color photography, this book is your ticket to a lifetime of adventure. By Nate Greenberg and Dan Mingori. 356 pages. Color. Sewn binding
- Tahoe Mountain Sports
Backcountry skiing and snowboarding is the fastest growing outdoor winter sport in North America, and California's Eastern Sierra is one of the most dramatic and historic venues in which to experience this amazing activity. While toiling up a mountain in the winter with skis on your back just for the sake of one run down may seem like a lot of work to some, those who have had even a small a taste of this sublime pursuit will be hooked forever; endless untracked snow, astounding views, a great workout, time spent in the wilderness with friends, and the unparalleled exhilaration of pointing the tips of your skis or snowboard over the summit of a great peak define it as poetry in motion. Dan Mingori and Nate Greenberg have been backcountry disciples of the Mammoth Lakes, CA, area for many years, and have compiled an epic list of descents and advice in their new guidebook Backcountry Skiing California's Eastern Sierra, 166 Ski and Snowboard Descents in the Range of Light between Tioga Pass and Bishop Creek. Dan is a dedicated split-board snowboarder and photographer, and Nate is a knee-dropping telemarker who helps run the Eastern Sierra Avalanche Center. The best backcountry skiing in the Eastern Sierra is centered on the town of Mammoth Lakes, and Dan and Nate have made sure that nothing is left out of the broad area covered in the book, extending from Tioga Pass in the north to Bishop Creek in the south. From the backyard runs on the Mammoth Crest to the roadside accessible Tioga Pass, and the epic wilderness peaks like Mt. Tom and Laurel Mountain, this guide serves as both the ultimate introductory resource and the experienced hard-man's hit list. The book is printed in color, 240 pages, and packed with useful information. It includes scores of annotated color topographic maps and hundreds of color photographs. The authors give a written description for each approach and descent along with useful statistics for gauging conditions and seriousness, including the slope, aspect, and angle, vertical gained and mileage of the approach, and a seriousness rating. The extensive use of color action and peak shots makes this book an incredible expos of the Sierra in winter. Regardless of skiing ability, any mountain enthusiast will drool over this book. It will set the bar for generations of backcountry ski and mountaineering guidebooks to come.

Commonwealth Edison customers who haven't signed up to have their electricity provided by another supplier will soon see lower energy rates on par with those of their neighbors who have switched away from ComEd.
That's because pricey long-term contracts that obligate ComEd to purchase electricity at above-market rates expire in June. ComEd said this week that the energy costs - the largest expense in electricity bills - will drop by 30 percent in June from 7 cents per kilowatt-hour to about 5 cents per kilowatt hour.

Teacher Attitudes toward Subject-Specific Acceleration: Instrument Development and Validation
Rambo, Karen E.; McCoach, D. Betsy
Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v35 n2 p129-152 Jun 2012
Despite the research supporting acceleration, some teachers are still hesitant to recommend acceleration for advanced students. The Teacher Attitudes Toward Subject-Specific Acceleration (TATSSA) instrument was designed to uncover the factors that influence teacher decisions to recommend students for subject-specific acceleration. First, we describe the creation of the TATSSA and initial instrument validation process. Then we examine the validity of the established measurement model and explore the construct validity of the TATSSA. Scores on the TATSSA predicted teacher intent to recommend acceleration, were related to teacher past recommendation behavior, and discriminated between groups known to be more or less likely to accelerate. The most important findings were that teacher self-efficacy toward recommending acceleration was universally important in predicting teacher acceleration attitudes and behavior, administrative support of acceleration was critical, and teachers appeared to give more weight to potential negative outcomes of acceleration than positive ones. (Contains 3 notes, 4 tables and 1 figure.)

What is volatile keyword in Java?
What is volatile keyword in Java?
The volatile keyword in Java is poorly documented, poorly understood, and rarely used.volatile is used to indicate that a variable's value will be modified by different threads.
Volatile variable in Java is a special variable which is used to signal threads, compiler that this particular variables values is going to be updated by multiple thread inside Java application. By making a variable volatile using volatile keyword in Java,application programmer ensures that its value should always been read from main memory and thread should not used cached value of that variable from there own stack.
Best Android Training | Devops Training | SQL Server Training and many more IT courses.
The value of this variable will never be cached thread-locally: all reads and writes will go straight to "main memory"; Access to the variable acts as though it is enclosed in a synchronized block, synchronized on itself.
As I know Each thread has its own stack, and so its own copy of variables it can access. When the thread is created, it copies the value of all accessible variables in its own memory. The volatile keyword is used to say to the jvm "Warning, this variable may be modified in an other Thread". And remember one thing use penetration testing so that there will be no vulnerability related errors.

EVE ARDEN, the high school dropout who played everybody's favorite English teacher "Our Miss Brooks," died yesterday of heart failure at her home in Beverly Hills. The actress, whose age was variously reported as 83, 82 and 78, had been ill for some time with cancer and heart problems.
Celebrated on Broadway for her showgirl looks, Arden conquered film and television by projecting a winning combination of sharp tongue and soft heart. Her humor and humanity were an inspiration not only for "The Golden Girls" but for girls everywhere.
Born Eunice Quedens in Mill Valley, Calif., Eve Arden was an only child raised by her divorced mother and Aunt Elsie. Her suffragist guardians propelled her into a dramatic career by entering Arden in a Women's Christian Temperance Union contest, which the 7-year-old won for her pushcart-Italian reading of "No Kicka My Dog."

Historical Society Celebrates Annual Open House
About 40 people joined the Hawthorne Historical Society's 8th Annual Holiday Open House last night at the Louis Bay 2nd Library. The event featured homemade hors d'oeuvres and desserts, and a presentation by Walter Choroszewski called "Timeline New Jersey."
The presentation traced the history of New Jersey from prehistoric times all the way to the present, including the origins of our land, rock formations and dinosaurs, all the way through our modern founding and Revolutionary War battles. Choroszewski also connected New Jersey with the historical figures on the various U.S. currencies, demonstrating the wealth of history in our Garden State.
In the spirit of the holidays, the Society collected canned goods for one of the local food pantries, which followed its successful participation in last weekend's Toys for Tots event. Society President Jackie Walsh thanked member Margaret Abate for all her work in gathering and buying toys and transporting them to the event.
The Hawthorne Historical Society meets the second Monday of every month at 7p at the Louis Bay 2nd library and community center. All are welcome. For further information contact Jackie Walsh at 201-694-8664.

What's scarier — filming a sex scene, or facing a gun-toting Ellen Barkin? Jayson Blair may be the only man on Earth fully equipped to answer that question. Blair — not to be confused with the disgraced ex-New York Times reporter who shares his name — co-stars in The New Normal as Clay, the dopey, philandering husband of surrogate-to-be Goldie (Georgia King).
But the actor insists that his character isn't all bad: "He's like a puppy," Blair explains. "You get a dog, he's two weeks old, and he pees on the carpet. And your instinct is to be like, 'What are you doing? No, no, no, go outside, go outside!' And then he looks at you with those big ol' eyes, and you can't help but smile."
Before the new sitcom's televised debut, we called Blair to chat about working with Ryan Murphy, the Utah affiliate that refuses to air his show, and getting past his high school Homecoming King days. Check out the chat below before tuning into The New Normal's second episode tonight at 9:30 pm on NBC.
How would you describe your character? When we meet him, he doesn't seem like a very good guy.
The audience will see a dog, but I think you kind of have to love Clay. Because most importantly, he loves his wife and his daughter more than anything. He just makes a lot of mistakes. But that does not override the fact that he will do anything for his child.
Were you nervous that your first scene was a sex scene?
No! It's actually really funny, because when I found out who got cast — Jessica Lu, who plays Tabitha — she's actually a good friend of mine.
I guess that makes it a little less awkward.
Yes. Or more awkward, I don't know. It didn't get awkward until, like, she was on top of me.
So what's scarier: Having cameras film you while you're half-naked, or having Ellen Barkin point a gun at you?
Ellen Barkin pointing a gun at me is definitely more scary than being half-naked. I'm such a fan of hers, and she's just so amazing and she gives you so much to work off of — you just sit there and let her control everything, and respond. It's a dream come true.
It sounds like Ellen's a little like her character — very take-charge.
Umm, she's not like her character in the sense of being a bigot, but I know her enough to assume that she probably gets what she wants. She's a very strong, awesome woman.
Tell me about working with Ryan Murphy.
I was super intimidated at first, just because of his accolades. He's directed I think three of the episodes I've done so far, and he couldn't be a cooler, more respectful person. He loves working, and he's very easy to talk to and collaborate with.
I know Glee actors have said that he uses a lot of material from the actors' real lives in his scripts. Is that happening on The New Normal as well?
Yeah, actually. When we shot the pilot, the bedroom scene, they asked for photos of me in high school. And [Murphy] was walking around the room, and he picked up a photo and started asking me a bunch of questions. I haven't seen that translate yet, but I'm sure it will.
What kind of stuff have you been telling him?
I was kind of a terror in high school. My character — in the breakdown, it was like, "Former Homecoming King who has his best days behind him." And I was the Homecoming King and stuff like that, so it was kind of hilarious to read that. But yeah, I was a bad kid, and I found my way in Los Angeles. I got my bearings out here. And I will leave it like that.
What's your reaction to the Utah affiliate that refuses to air the show?
You know, I don't understand that at all. The show isn't [just] about a gay couple — it's about two families coming together to create this new normal. It's a great story, and it's got so many important issues that people struggle with and deal with today. I wish they would look past that [its gay content]. I hope that they do.
Give us some scoop on what's coming up. How will Clay react when he finds out what Goldie's doing?
Oh, you will see. I have not met Bryan and David yet, but there's some fun stuff coming up that I can't talk about. We'll see a little more of how Clay feels about his family in the second episode. I love my daughter, and I want to see her — and you're going to see that.

A derogatory word for a white girl in an interracial relationship that stereotypically acts of her partners race. Or the feminine version of a Wigga or Wigger.
The word bun comes from the common appearance of wearing hair in a twisted up raggedy moussed or greased up bun. Bun Bitches are prone to speaking with a fake over exaggerated southern, Latin accent along with speaking excessive amounts of slang and other activities that she perceives to be used amongst her partners race and community. Although common, this term is not limited to black men and white women.

I am a man who has been married for about two months. One week before my wedding, one of my female relatives tried to hurt me by saying something about me to my wife to cause trouble for me. I heard about this from one of my sisters and I said: "My wife is as haraam to me as my mother; I shall not consummate the marriage with her until after I harm her as she tried to harm me." My sister tried to calm me down and my brother came to me and spoke to me. Then I calmed down and forgot about the matter until a while ago, when my wife and I were speaking about zihaar. Please note that I swore the oath when I was married, but I had not yet consummated the marriage. Now I am uncertain about my situation. I asked a shaykh from Yemen and he gave me an answer based on the Ithna 'Ashari madhhab! He told me that it is regarded as an oath and expiation must be offered for it, but I am not sure about the fatwa of the Ithna 'Ashari madhhab.
If a man states that his wife is as haraam to him as his mother is or another mahram woman who is permanently forbidden to him, then he has uttered a great evil and spoken falsehood, and he comes under the rulings that result from zihaar. His wife remains haraam to him until he has fasted for two consecutive months; if he is not able to do that because of a legitimate shar'i reason, then he must feed sixty poor persons.
For zihaar to take place, it is not stipulated that he should have consummated the marriage with his wife; it is sufficient for him merely to have done the marriage contract with her for these rulings to come into effect.
What appears to us to be the case is that what you said comes under the heading of conditional zihaar. Because you decided not to cause harm to that woman, then you come under the rulings on zihaar. So you have to repent from saying that and your wife remains haraam to you until you have offered the expiation for zihaar.
The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked:
There was an argument between my father and my oldest brother, and my oldest brother said something, which was: "My wife is as haraam to me as my mother." That was in a moment of anger. My brother has done the marriage contract with this wife of his but he has not consummated the marriage with her and there has not been any wedding party until now. I hope that you can advise me.
They replied:
If what is mentioned about your brother declaring his wife to be haraam to himself is correct, and that happened after he did the marriage contract with his wife, then he has committed a major sin and he has to offer expiation for zihaar before he can touch his wife, whether he said that before consummating the marriage with her or after. Expiation for zihaar is freeing a believing slave. If that is not possible, then he must fast for two consecutive months. If he is not able to do that, then he should feed sixty poor persons, giving thirty saa's of wheat, half a saa' for each poor person.
Shaykh Ibraaheem ibn Muhammad Aal ash-Shaykh; Shaykh 'Abd ar-Razzaaq 'Afeefi; Shaykh 'Abdullah ibn Ghadyaan; Shaykh 'Abdullah ibn Munayyi'
End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Da'imah, 20/277
If you had consummated the marriage with your wife – as appears to be the case – then you have to stop being intimate with her immediately; it is not permissible for you to continue being intimate with her before you have offered expiation for zihaar.
The scholars of the Standing Committee said:
With regard to what you have done of intercourse before offering expiation as a result of ignorance before starting to fast, you do not owe any penalty for that because you had the excuse of ignorance. But now you must avoid having intercourse until you have completed the fasting.
Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez Aal ash-Shaykh, Shaykh 'Abdullah ibn Ghadyaan. Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd
End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah, 20/322
It is not permissible for a Muslim to follow the Shi'i (Ithna 'Ashari) madhhab with regard to basic issues or minor matters, or to be happy if they are in agreement with Ahl as-Sunnah (concerning some issue), just as it does not matter if they differ from us. It is not permissible for you to consult one who will advise you in accordance with their madhhab or give you a fatwa based on their opinions.
And Allah knows best.
