Diana Trailer, Poster. Oliver Hirschbiegel's Diana (2013) movie trailer, movie poster stars Naomi Watts, Naveen Andrews, Lee Asquith-Coe, Cas Anvar, and Geraldine James. Diana's plot synopsis: "DIANA takes audiences into the private realm of one of the world's most iconic and inescapably public women — the Princess of Wales, Diana – in the last two years of her meteoric life, and explores Diana's final rite of passage: a secret love affair with Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan.
The film is a window into the tumultuous, change-filled period from 1995-1997 in the wake of Diana's shattering divorce from Prince Charles and at the moment when she stood on the cusp of a different life, evolving into a global humanitarian, mastering her fame and becoming her own woman."

"Oh housebuilder! Now you are seen"*…
Movie star Leonardo DiCaprio's Malibu dream house hit the market on Friday, listing for $10.95 million. Leo purchased the midcentury California bungalow (can you still call something a bungalow when it costs more than $10 mil? The jury is out!) back in 1998, and the three bed, two bath home is a beaut. It's on star-studded Carbon Beach, the views are killer, and the interiors are gorgeous.
But the truth is, life is probably meaningless and there is a strong chance that we all die alone. Could buying this house change any of that? Is it possible that life at 21844 Pacific Coast Highway, with your own private hot tub and large ocean front deck, could actually offer a reprieve from the agony of being a human in the world? Or, is it certain that "we cannot escape anguish, for we are anguish," as John-Paul Sartre once put it? Great question!…

As we sigh, we might send nihilist birthday greetings to Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche; he was born on this date in 1844. A philosopher, poet, composer, cultural critic, and classical philologist, Nietzsche is probably best remembered for his concepts of the "death of God", the Übermensch, the eternal recurrence, the Apollonian and Dionysian dichotomy, and the will to power… which, among them, have had an extraordinary impact on thinkers as diverse as Martin Heidegger and Ayn Rand on the one hand, and Michel Foucault (whose birthday this also is) and Jacques Derrida on the other.
When someone hides something behind a bush and looks for it again in the same place and finds it there as well, there is not much to praise in such seeking and finding. Yet this is how matters stand regarding seeking and finding "truth" within the realm of reason. If I make up the definition of a mammal, and then, after inspecting a camel, declare "look, a mammal' I have indeed brought a truth to light in this way, but it is a truth of limited value.

As we ponder the purport of property, we might recall that it was on this date in 1862 that President Abraham Lincoln signed the (first) Homestead Act into law. The legislation allowed qualified applicants to claim freehold title to up to 160 acres (1/4 section, 65 hectares) of undeveloped federal land outside the original 13 colonies. The offer was open to anyone who had never taken up arms against the U.S. government (including freed slaves and women) and was 21 years or older (or the head of a family)… anyone except the Native Americans who were cleared from the land to make way.

This year, Chicago takes the not-so-coveted top spot from Cincinnati, while Atlanta has the highest number of neighborhoods making the list (four).
As we rethink relocation, we might recall that it was on this date in 1934 that serial bank robber and "Oklahoma Robin Hood" Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd was shot and killed by FBI agents in a cornfield in East Liverpool, Ohio.

From the ever-inventive folks at Think Geek:
Pâté is passé. Unicorn – the new white meat.
Excellent source of sparkles!
Unicorns, as we all know, frolic all over the world, pooping rainbows and marshmallows wherever they go. What you don't know is that when unicorns reach the end of their lifespan, they are drawn to County Meath, Ireland. The Sisters at Radiant Farms have dedicated their lives to nursing these elegant creatures through their final days. Taking a cue from the Kobe beef industry, they massage each unicorn's coat with Guinness daily and fatten them on a diet comprised entirely of candy corn.
As the unicorn ages, its meat becomes fatty and marbled and the living bone in the horn loses density in a process much like osteoporosis. The horn's outer layer of keratin begins to develop a flavor very similar to candied almonds. Blending the crushed unicorn horn into the meat adds delightful, crispy flavor notes in each bite. We are confident you will find a world of bewilderment in every mouthful of scrumptious unicorn meat.

As we rethink our panini preferences, we might recall that it was on this date in 1808 that John Jacob Astor incorporated The American Fur Company. One of the first great trusts in the U.S., American Fur had come to dominate the fur trade in North America, and had become one of the largest businesses in the country by 1830. Astor, who traded in real estate and opium as well as furs, became America's first multi-millionaire.

Freaky Friday Random Thoughts
By Todd Harrison Mar 30, 2007 12:46 pm
Enjoy the weekend Minyans and remember to smile. In 100 years, today's P&L won't really matter that much.
With all due respect, Karl Rove isn't allowed to rap around critters!
Continued geopolitical concerns and Chinese tariff chatter have thus far trumped perceived quarter-end gamesmanship.
A Debka report (that American investors in Bahrain were advised to pack up operations and leave), coupled with a Eurasiagroup memo (expecting a stand down in the coming weeks) is fueling fear in the region.
I've got a handful of longs that I'm holding onto, including GSS, SUNW and WEL, married against a spate of financial and index puts. Right or wrong, that's what I'll trollop into the weekend with. My net exposure remains skewed short with positive gamma.
If you're diggin' the Minyan
Mission , please feel free to share it with those in your network or community. We'll give you a free month for every Minyan you refer our way!
THE tells into the close?
The financials, as the BKX peeks below the 200-day.
The Homies, as the HGX flirts with disaster.
Breadth, which is 3:2 negative (not as bad as it could be).
Crude, which is up a quiet percent.
Lotsa chatter out there on quarter-end marks. Could happen, I suppose, although my experience in the post-Spitzer world is that it typically occurs in the days prior to the final session.
The curiously strong bid in the emerging markets yesterday has not escaped me.
March Madness will be front and center this weekend. GO BRUINS!
Keep crude on your radar as a tell. Again, while I've been of the opinion that this asset class will rise--and fall--with equities, it's shifted as a proxy for
MidEast unrest. If the Strait of Hormuz chokes up, a whole lotta folks are gonna be walking to work.
I met you through my homie now you act like you don't know me? I haven't touched the homebuilders in a while but I'll offer that this zone will break, it's simply a matter of when and, perhaps more pertinent, whether a battle breaks out to the upside first.
Bloomberg reported Bank of America's (BAC) comments that U.S. homebuilders could trigger a correlation crisis similar to the credit sell off in '05, when both Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) lost their investment-grade credit ratings. We've chewed through this in the 'Ville for quite some time. The financial news you need to know before you know you need it!
Pepe gave us a nice heads up in Boots and Coots. If this stock (+10%) is indeed a proxy for geopolitical unrest, risk paring into the weekend will trump quarter-end marks.
Happy Passover, for those observing-this should bring a smile to your face! I'll be out on Monday, vibing with the family, but should be back in the saddle on Tuesday. Enjoy the weekend Minyans and remember to smile. In 100 years, today's P&L won't really matter that much.

In a free market, interest rates are set by supply and demand. If there are a large numbers of savers, the banks adjust their rate paid to lenders down and as a result can offer rates to borrowers at a low level. If there is a relative reluctance to save, banks will try to attract lenders by offering a higher interest rate. The higher rate forces banks to charge a correspondingly high rate of interest to borrowers.
The free market balances the supply and demand for the desire to hold the money. The meeting point is the natural interest rate. The banks don't care what the rate is. They make money on the relatively narrow spread between the lending and borrowing rates. Their real profit comes from lending more money then they take in through the magic of fraction reserve money creation. See here for more.
Let's say you're thinking about borrowing money to invest in a long term project. It doesn't matter what industry it is in. It could be a housing project or an internet company start-up. Let's pick housing. You analyze the price of money, i.e. the interest rate, and calculate your cost to borrow the money for the duration of the project.
If the interest cost is too high, you'll take a pass on the building the house. If it is low, you'll decide to go ahead with the project. To you there is no analysis made as to why rates are low. You simply calculate if you can make a profit by borrowing the money at the available price.
There is however a major difference between a low rate caused by free market forces and one set there artificially by edict of the Federal Reserve. The first scenario is a healthy environment to build the house because the savings actually exists to purchase the house upon completion. The second scenario however is a disaster waiting to happen. You are tricked by the false signal of artificially low interest rates. The savings indicated by the low rates do not actually exist.
Multiply your decision making process by millions of people and you can clearly see how the Federal Reserve is behind the boom bust cycle. When the artificially low rates kick off the decision to build houses or other capital projects, the economy does in fact see increased activity. The Fed appears to have successfully ended a recession with its low interest rate policy. In fact all it has done has set the economy off on an unsustainable boom which will always be followed by a bust.
The process repeats with each round of the business cycle getting more and more dramatic. The last two rounds have ended in a mania as the price of internet companies and housing respectively were bid up to the astounding levels only to come crashing back down during the bust phase of the cycle. As an individual the best you can hope for is to be early in the process and sell the house or other project before others realize the false market signal. To the market as a whole unfortunately there is no possible salvation. The savings necessary to purchase the projects simply don't exist. The real pain and suffering caused by the Fed fixing market prices for interest does exist however and like the severity of the cycle is only getting worse through time.

Last week marked the release of Street Fighter IV on consoles. I've always fancied an arcade joystick, really the best way to play such fighting games. Unfortunately I missed out on getting my hands on one of the very limited SFIV sticks (currently being sold on eBay for £200-£550!!). Looking around on the net I discovered lots of people have built their own joystick, and taking inspiration from some stunning examples, I've decided to design and make my own.
Put simply, creating the stick breaks down into…
- Stripping the PCM board out an old controller
- Building a box from wood and plexiglass, with holes for the buttons and joystick
- Soldering wires between the PCM board and the buttons
I have enlisted the help of my friend, an electrical engineer, for the soldering and my brother is keen to help build the box (unfortunately he lives in Australia!). I have ordered the following parts from Gremlin Solutions. They are high quality arcade parts from one of the best manufacturers in the world, Sanwa..
- 6 x OBSN-30 (White) for Punch/Kick Buttons
- 3 x OBSN-24 (Blue) for Start/Select/360 Guide
- 1 x JLW-TM-8 (White ball top) Joystick
Parts are going to take a week or two to arrive. Meanwhile I am designing the box in Adobe Illustrator, and working out the best layout for the buttons.

Two former female workers who sued Goldman Sachs for discriminating against women in 2010 have asked a judge to expand their suit, calling the bank a "boys club" rife with binge drinking and strip club outings.
The women, who allege rampant sexism and harassment in a new filing on Tuesday, asked a Manhattan federal judge to let them sue on behalf of other women who claim they were paid less and awarded fewer promotions than their male counterparts at Goldman.
"This constellation of evidence reflects widespread concerns among women about gender bias and a 'boys club' atmosphere; the sexualization of women and an uncorrected culture of sexual harassment and assault," according to the complaint.
Cristina Chen-Oster, a former vice-president and Shanna Orlich, who was an associate, are seeking unspecified damages and an order requiring the bank to fix its alleged frat-house culture.
If the case is granted class-action, current and former female associates and vice presidents could join the suit, raising the potential damages stemming from the case.
The suit — which describes a macho atmosphere of client meetings at strip clubs, golf trips that excluded women and push-up contests in the office — also draws on stats culled from other gender discrimination complaints against the bank that a judge ordered the firm to disclose last year.
The suit claims that female vice presidents earned 21 percent less than their male counterparts while female associates earned 8 percent less.
Goldman Sachs is fighting the case and claims the suit is without merit.
"This is a normal and anticipated procedural step for any proposed class action lawsuit and does not change the case's lack of merit," David Wells, a Goldman Sachs spokesman, said in a statement to Bloomberg News.

It was my favorite and absolutely core pet battle addon. Easy to see frames listing cooldowns for yours and enemy pet abilities, as well weak and strong states.
Its in particular the enemy pet ability cooldowns im badly missing to have easilly available.
Pokemon Trainer still sort off works, but it bugs on logon, and the author has abandoned it. So its not really feasible to keep using it.

Last updated 26 weeks ago
Mar 9 2007 | 1:13pm ET
The partner of hedge fund manager Albert Hsu, the man who was charged with attempted kidnapping and sexual assault, says he has not had any contact with Hsu or Hsu's attorney since his arrest on March 2, but assures that there are no immediate plans to close their fund of hedge funds, Anchor Point Capital, or to replace Hsu.
"It's obviously a very difficult situation for Albert and we feel badly for him," Tim Crowe tells FINalternatives. "It is much too soon to make those decisions [to replace him]. We have a great team of people that continue to operate the business."
Crowe adds that the firm has been and will continue to be in touch with its investors but declined to comment on any redemptions that Anchor Point may have suffered in light of Hsu's legal problems.
Hsu, co-founder and managing director of Anchor Point, allegedly went onto the Internet posing as his ex-girlfriend and described a fantasy of being abducted and raped, according to Ricki Goldstein, a deputy assistant state's attorney. He also posted personal information about the unnamed woman, including her address and her travel schedule
At the hearing, Goldstein said that Hsu, "set the victim up to be kidnapped and raped."
The 43-year-old Hsu—who has been placed on suicide watch by the judge—was arrested in his home in upscale New Canaan last Friday. Charges against the well-known fund manager include trafficking in personal identifying information, first-degree attempted kidnapping, third-degree sexual assault, first-degree reckless endangerment, criminal impersonation and second-degree harassment. His bail has been set at $1 million.
Hsu's court appointed lawyer, Dawn Bradanini, reportedly said that Hsu is "thoroughly embarrassed" by his actions.
Before co-founding Anchor Point in 2005 with Crowe, Hsu served as the U.S. investment officer for the The Atlantic Philanthropies, a $3.8 billion, limited life foundation which he joined in late 2001. At Atlantic, Hsu was responsible for the U.S. based hedge fund investments which represented half of its $1.8 billion multi-strategy hedge fund portfolio in over 40 funds. Prior to that, Hsu was the director of investments for the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, a $1 billion foundation which he joined in early 2001.
From 1997 to 2001, Hsu was with the Xerox pension fund, managing half of the plan's $10 billion in assets. Before that, he co-managed Commonfund's Absolute Return Fund and Hedge Fund.
Hsu, who often speaks at hedge fund industry conferences, serves as chairman of the New Canaan Red Cross and is a former board member of the Vanderbilt YMCA. He has also reportedly been a Cub Scout leader.

Updates from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices February Meeting
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) held its first meeting of 2018 on February 21st and 22nd. The Committee consists of a panel of immunization experts that advise the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Part of their charter is to continually evaluate new data and update or change vaccine recommendations as warranted.
The agenda for the February 2018 meeting included presentations pertaining to several different diseases and vaccines, to include hepatitis, influenza, anthrax, HPV, pneumococcal, meningococcal and Japanese encephalitis.
A overview of the meeting is provided below, with details on presentations in the order they occurred:
Hepatitis B
The committee voted unanimously to approve a non-preferential recommendation for a new Hepatitis B vaccine (Dynavax's HEPISLAV-B™) to their list of recommended vaccines for adults 18 years and older against infections caused by all known subtypes of Hepatitis B.
This vote came following the presentation of data showing that the new two-dose vaccine generates a more rapid and higher antibody response than the standard 3 dose vaccine.
Hepatitis B is a viral disease of the liver that can become chronic and lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer and death. The hepatitis B virus is 50 to 100 times more infectious than HIV, and transmission is on the rise. In 2015, new cases of acute hepatitis B increased by more than 20 percent nationally and 850,000-2.2 million persons are estimated to be living with infection in the U.S.
Since there is no here is no cure for hepatitis B, vaccination is our best chance at preventing the disease. While about 90% of people are infected during infancy, in adults, hepatitis B is most often spread through contact with infected blood and through unprotected sex with an infected person. Some individuals who are especially susceptible include those who are immunosuppressed or living with diabetes. The CDC recommends vaccination for those at high risk for infection due to their jobs, lifestyle, living situations and travel to certain areas.
The Working Group summary suggested that this new vaccine option is likely to improve vaccine series completion and result in earlier protection, which is especially beneficial in persons with anticipated low adherence such as injection drug users. Additionally, the improved immunogenicity in populations with typically poor vaccine response such as the elderly, diabetics and those on dialysis, is promising. The ACIP will continue to review post-marketing surveillance studies and additional data to ensure safety and cost-effectiveness considerations.
Hepatitis A
The committee voted unanimously to pass three recommendations pertaining to Hepatitis A.
- Hepatitis A vaccines should be administered for post-exposure prophylaxis for all persons 12 months of age or older.
- Hepatitis A vaccine or immune globulin (IG) may be administered to persons 40 years of age or older, depending on the providers' risk assessment.
- Hepatitis A vaccine should be administered to infants age 6-11 months of age traveling outside the US when protection against hepatitis A is recommended. This recommendation takes into consideration the fact that infants under 12 months who will be traveling internationally will typically also need an MMR vaccine. Since Hepatitis A immune globulin and MMR vaccine should not be administered simultaneously, these children should receive a single dose of HepA vaccine. It's important to note that infants should then complete the full, 2 doses of MMR and HepA vaccines at 12 months of age as recommended.
The Committee heard five presentations specific to influenza.
The first two were reports of current season data; one detailing flu surveillance, the other providing early influenza vaccine effectiveness data.
According to the update, the majority of circulating flu strains are similar to those contained in the 2017-2018 vaccine. The only virus clearly showing antigenic drift was the B/Victoria lineage viruses which represents less than 1% of circulating viruses. So far this season, influenza A (H3N2) has been dominant, with influenza B activity starting to increase more recently. Activity has been the highest we've seen since 2009, and while final severity can't be determined until the end of the season, hospitalization rates and mortality could be similar to or exceed those send during the severe 2014-2015 season.
Based on data from 4,562 children and adults with acute respiratory illness enrolled during November 2, 2017–February 3, 2018, at five study sites, the overall estimated effectiveness of the 2017–18 seasonal influenza vaccine for preventing medically attended, laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infection was 36%. The percentage differs by age group and by virus. A detailed report can be found here.
The most notable news out of the Committee last week was the vote to restore the live attenuated influenza virus (LAIV) vaccine as an option for the 2018-19 season. LAIV is commonly known as the nasal spray flu vaccine or by its brand name, FluMist This renewed ACIP recommendation offers FluMist as one of several vaccine options for non-pregnant people who are 2-49 years of age during the 2018-2019 season, but does not indicate any preference for FluMist over injectable flu vaccines.
While FluMist has not been recommended for the past two flu seasons due to reduced effectiveness against the H1N1 flu strain in children, the Committee heard three presentations specific to LAIV vaccine efficacy in children prior to taking a vote on future recommendations for LAIV. The first reported on the efficacy of Fluarix Quadrivalent in children 6-35 month of age. Another presented the results of a randomized trial of a new H1N1 LAIV strain in U.S. children. The third was a review LAIV in children 2-17 years of age.
The possible root cause of the poor effectiveness of LAIV against H1N1 was discussed and poor replication of the H1N1 selected strain was thought to be the likely problem. A new strain selection process is now in place in cooperation with the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and it suggested that the antibody responses of the latest reformulated version of the quadrivalent vaccine, which includes the new 2017-18 post-pandemic 2009 H1N1 LAIV strain (A/Slovenia), will perform significantly better than what was previously observed when the vaccine included the 2015-16 post-pandemic LAIV strain (A/Bolivia). Immunogenicity and viral shedding data in small trials supported this notion, but no efficacy data is available at this time.
The Committee was therefore forced to a vote using only the science available to date. There was a lively discussion among members who expressed various concerns. While flu vaccine effectiveness is a serious issue, some committee members expressed concern that they may be holding FluMist to a higher standard than other influenza vaccines, yet all have efficacy challenges from year to year. Other members were concerned with how the vaccine may perform in an H1N1 dominated season. Until the vaccine is used, further effectiveness assessments are performed, and a prominent H1N1 year occurs, a certain level of uncertainty will remain.
While members voted overwhelmingly (12-2) to reinstate LAIV on the immunization schedule, a second vote to give other flu vaccines a preferential recommendation over LAIV failed (11-3). So, while the ACIP will not indicate a preference for any one type of flu vaccine over another, the public will ultimately determine whether there will be high uptake of this particular vaccine next season.

What Parents of Every Teen Should Know About Meningitis
The most important thing parents of teens need to know about meningococcal disease is that it can be very serious. And by serious, we mean debilitating and often deadly.
Even with prompt medical treatment, about 1 in 10 people with meningococcal disease will die from it. Of those who survive, about 1 to 2 will have permanent disabilities such as brain damage, hearing loss, loss of kidney function or limb amputations.
The best thing parents can do to protect their children from meningococcal disease is to get them vaccinated against all of the preventable forms of the disease.
What causes meningitis and meningococcal disease?
Meningitis refers to a swelling of the protective membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. While meningitis is commonly caused by a bacterial or viral infection, it can also be caused by injuries, cancer, certain drugs, and other types of infections.
Meningococcal disease is specific to any illness caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis (also referred to as meningococcus or meningococcal meningitis). These types of infections can cause meningitis, but can also cause bloodstream infections (known as bacteremia or septicemia).
It's possible to have meningitis without having meningococcal disease, and it's possibly to have a type of meningococcal disease that isn't necessarily meningitis. The specific cause of illness is important to identify because the treatment differs depending on the cause.
- Bacterial forms of meningitis can be extremely dangerous and fast-moving and have the greatest potential for being fatal. The long-term effects of bacterial meningitis can include multiple amputations, hearing loss and kidney damage. Many, but not all, forms of bacterial meningitis can be prevented by vaccination.
- Viral meningitis has similar symptoms to bacterial meningitis, but for the most part is neither as deadly nor as debilitating. There is no specific treatment available for viral meningitis, but most patients fully recover over time.

Benefits of Fish and Shellfish
Known as brain and heart food, fish and shellfish are loaded with healthy benefits.
Because of the nutrients found in
fish and shellfish
, the American Heart Association recommends people eat this food type twice weekly. With high levels of protein, nutrients, and vitamins, most fish is excellent to improve and maintain good health. In fact, fish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which provide the
with protection.
As with any food, you want to choose the right fish and shellfish. Most species are fine but some types of fish contain high levels of mercury. In small amounts and to the normal person, this contaminant would not be a problem. However, in children and
women, mercury can have devastating effects. For this reason, many doctors suggest that pregnant women avoid fish altogether while pregnant, while other doctors simply steer patients away from fish such as tuna, which is often high in mercury. The same would be true for children, choosing
and shellfish that has little to no mercury content.
Other benefits associated with eating fish and shellfish twice weekly include reduced risk of
heart attack
and stroke, as well as a lowering of blood pressure. In fact, medical studies show that eating fish twice a week can actually lower the risk of stroke by as much as 27%. Of course, if you were to increase the number of meals weekly that includes fish or shellfish the percentage increases. Then, as mentioned, fish is also known as brain food because thrombotic infarctions, which are strokes caused by blood clots in the brain, are significantly reduced.
Regardless of the type of fish or shellfish you prefer, it is imperative that it be
properly. For instance, the omega-3 fatty acids that are so health beneficial can be destroyed by air, light, and heat. For this reason, fish needs to be cooked so it is done but never overcooked. For this reason, the best methods of cooking fish and shellfish include broiling, baking, poaching, stir-frying, grilling, sautéing, and steaming, allowing the fish to retain its nutrients. The one method you want to avoid, which is often people's favorite, is deep-frying. Sure, shrimp and other types of fish cooked this method have a wonderful flavor and crunchy texture but the nutrients are destroyed.
Many people simply do not like fish or shellfish. If this is you, the health benefits can still be enjoyed by choosing fish oil supplements instead. These supplements can be found at local drug stores, grocery stores, and health food stores, providing the same benefits as eating fish twice a week. The only downside is that some people have reported gassy stomachs and even a fish-like breath while taking fish oil supplements. While supplements are an excellent alternative to eating fish, it is imperative that you purchase quality fish oil in that some supplements on the market are worthless.
Other options for getting enough omega-3 fatty oil come from sources other than fish and shellfish. For instance, you can get the same benefits as eating fish twice a week by incorporating some vegetables, tofu, certain nuts, and oils to include flaxseed, canola, and soybean to your diet. For
and pregnant women, these alternatives are excellent. In addition to eliminating the risk of mercury poisoning, you still get the needed omega-3 fatty acids.
Recent studies have been performed that show omega-3 fatty acids are far more beneficial than initially thought. Some of the other areas in which fish and shellfish can boost the body include:
• Improvement of psoriasis, arthritis, and kidney disease
• Elimination of some cancers
• Better kidney function for people with
As mentioned, fish and shellfish are great for the diet but for pregnant women, precautions have been given by the United States Food and Drug Administration. In this case, certain fish to include tuna, king mackerel, swordfish, and shark should be avoided altogether or not consumed more than once every month or two. The reason is that levels of mercury in these fish are beyond what the FDA considers safe for human consumption. Now, while non-pregnant women could eat this fish, mercury during pregnancy affects the unborn child's nervous system, causing serious damage. Other fish such as walleye and pike, which are freshwater fish, also contain levels of mercury too high for
pregnant women
If pregnant, you should talk to your doctor before eating fish or shellfish. Chances are that you would be told eating up to 12 ounces of cooked fish weekly would be fine, which would include farm raise fish such as rainbow trout, canned fish, and even most shellfish. In this case, these species are a great source of protein needed by expectant mothers. Again, if you are unsure, talk to your doctor first.

There are approximately 31,251 square miles of roads, parking lots, driveways, playgrounds, bike paths, and sidewalks in the lower 48 states.
If Julie and Scott Brusaw have their way, they will all someday be replaced with solar panels.
For the better part of a decade, the Idaho couple have been working on prototyping an industrial-strength panel that could withstand the weight of even the largest trucks.
They now appear to have cracked the formula, developing a specially textured glass coating for the panels that can not only bear tremendous loads but can support standard tire traction.
By their reckoning, at peak installation, their panel-ized roads could produce more than 3x the electricity currently consumed in the U.S.
The material could also be able to power electric vehicles, through a a "receiver" plate mounted beneath the EV and a "transmitter" plate is installed in the road.
The project has already received two phases of funding from the U.S. Federal Highway Administration, and last year featured in Google's Moonshot series. They're now incorporated as Solar Roadways.
Right now, they're now looking to raise $US1 million on IndieGogo to move beyond the prototype and into production. So far they have received $US112,000 since announcing the campaign about three weeks ago.
If you're wondering why they are choosing crowdfunding given the potentially large interest from investors, so have many others. Their reason for doing so is rather noble. As they explain on their website (via John Aziz):
The idea to launch a crowdfunding campaign came to us from so many supporters that we looked into it. We have always been concerned about protecting our vision to implement this in the way that we think will have the most benefit: creating American jobs rather than outsourcing and then adding manufacturing facilities in other countries. That way we could help the economies everywhere providing many thousands of jobs. We have a vision for the way our facilities will be – campus like – with a positive atmosphere. We want to use as many recycled materials as we can and keep our manufacturing process as green as possible. We could go on, but you get the picture. If we can raise enough funds here, we won't have to take on an investor and we won't have to worry about losing our focus. If you like our vision and want to help, we'd be honored to have you in our corner.
Here is an artist's rendering of what it someday could look like:
It could also be used in parking lots:
Definitely something you wish you'd thought of first.

i was trying to customize recaptcha 1.11 so that it would show instructions in a language different than english (mind you, showing words to recognize in different languages appears not be available yet, this post only concerns the language of the instruction).
according to this instruction this can be achieved by inserting a javascript snippet before the form in which the recaptcha appears:
[codebox 10] source: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/customization#i18n.
this does not work, however. this is especially annoying if you have dynamic language content on your original page and want to administer different languages (also through to the recaptcha widget) depending on user settings. but here's a work around until this gets fixed:
- open the file recaptchalib.php from the folder in which recaptcha resides.
- find the function recaptcha_get_html
- change [codebox 1] into [codebox 2][adding $language as a parameter to the function]
- add this: [codebox 3] as the first statement in the function, so that the whole thing looks like this:[codebox 4]
this bit ensures that you can pass a language parameter to the function, but if this language parameter is anything other then the languages available at this time (dutch=nl, french=fr, german=de, portuguese=pt, russian=ru, spanish=es, turkish=tr), then english will be chosen.
- then find, still within the function recaptcha_get_html, this line: [codebox 5] and change it to [codebox 6]. also change this line: [codebox 7] into [codebox 8] still within the same function.
note that the requests to the recaptcha api now submit the extra parameter hl with the value of the language you want.
- now, within your original script, instead of using the original function recaptcha_get_html with only one parameter ($publickey) you would insert [codebox 9] which calls the function you edited above with the extra parameter of the language. $lang_pass is in this case the language parameter you get from somewhere else in the script.

The electrical and telecommunications supplier Photon Communications has been swept by the prevailing solar wave as evidenced by the recent launch of a whole line of solar supplies and equipment in its online catalog. The firm just finished launching an online store on its website.
The newly opened online electrical store on Photon Communications' website promises a wide range of solar products in the near future. Currently there are just a few solar electrical accessories on the site, but even these few highlight the company's unwavering business mission of always offering its "customers top-quality products from industry-leading brands." One of the catchy products in this section is the "Tin Plated Copper Lay-In Lug" from leading electrical manufacturer Burndy. Specially designed for solar panel grounding, the QIKLUG CL150-1TN lug is made from pure electrolytic copper to ensure maximum strength and very high conductivity. It comes with set screws, thread-forming screws, and lock washers all made from stainless steel. Compared with other dealers, Photon Communications is offering relatively fair prices for most of the high quality solar brands in its catalog.
Buying solar products from Photon Communications is a breeze, with credit going to the newly launched online store/catalog. There is a fully functional shopping cart for customers to easily add any of the products to their orders just by clicking the "Add to Cart" button, which is placed right next to each product. The checkout process is fast and smooth with multiple payment options, favorable shipping and delivery policies, and an online feature for tracking and recording individual customer transactions. Photon Communications' move on the ever-surging solar market is an upward business move for the firm and a huge advantage for its clients. The company is now promoting clean and renewable energy and its customers will reap the benefits from this sustainable power source.

1,441cc/200bhp+/120lb ft
186mph/265kg (wet)
Kawasaki is returning to its roots with the ZZR1400 (full review in Telegraph Motoring shortly). This 1.4-litre monster is claimed to be the fastest accelerating production motorcycle on the planet, producing in excess of 200bhp with a huge spread of torque from the four-cylinder engine (which is seven per cent bigger than the old ZZR1400's). The gearing is slightly lower, yet Kawasaki says it's still eight per cent more economical.
The four-headlight visage fronts an aerodynamic body with a more angular look than before, designed for very high speeds, yet it is being marketed as a capable sports-tourer.
The bike also gets an all-new aluminium monocoque chassis and sportier suspension, as well as a longer swingarm to improve stability at speed. Kawasaki is keen to emphasise its rideability, saying it's docile and easy to ride at normal speeds.
The good news is that it comes with its own version of the outstanding traction control system also fitted to the Versys 1000, along with a low-power engine mode for poor conditions or simply if you find your heart pounding a little too fast.
Versys 1000
1,043cc/116bhp/75lb ft
140mph/239kg (wet)
Of all the Japanese factories, Kawasaki has been busiest in introducing new models, and the likeliest best seller this year is the Versys 1000 sports tourer.
Despite the looks there are no claims for any off-road ability, and Kawasaki confirms the bike is not pitched against the iconic BMW R1200GS but more in line with the Triumph Tiger 1050. This makes sense as it is basically a four-cylinder Z1000 dressed in adventure clothes, which is hardly suited to anything too dirty…
The engine has been retuned to produce a wider spread of torque at the expense of some of the Z1000's peak horsepower, and it's very effective, as we discovered in the Telegraph Motoring review. The gearing is more widely spaced than the Z1000's too, making for a relaxed ride at motorway speeds and improved economy.
Despite its sub-£10,000 price the Versys 1000 comes with one of the most sophisticated traction control systems in motorcycling, based on that of the ZX-10R superbike. It also has two engine modes to suit conditions and riding style, and the latest Bosch ABS system.
This is worth considering as an all-rounder with a touring bias and staff on the stand will help find a dealer to arrange a test ride.
649cc/71bhp/47lb ft
115mph/204kg (wet)
The ER-6n is a useful improvement on an already fine middleweight motorcycle. The styling has been revised for a more aggressive, snub-nosed look and changes to the exhaust system and engine management have released more torque in the lower reaches of the rev range turning the ER-6n into a bike you can leave in a high gear all day if you wish, without it feeling flat or breathless. Take it easy and you'll be rewarded with the mid-50s mpg, and comfort is good too, although this is one to try for size at the show if you're tall as it's an exceptionally compact bike.
The frame and swingarm are all new with a Triumph-type doubled-up steel tube design that primarily was intended to enhance stability. This has worked, yet the ER-6n is still a very agile machine, capable of a very fast pace in a sinuous back road. Ultimately, the suspension fallls a little short, but this is because it's designed for a good ride quality, something that has certainly been achieved.
The downside is the bike is not available with ABS, for that you need to opt for the ER-6f (essentially the same as the 6n but with a fairing), on which it's a good-value £400 option

Build Guide by

This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.

Lux Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
lux is a long ranged mage class, great at dealing large amounts of damage from a safe distance behind the tank/tanks.
Before reading this guide you must know, that this build will make lux extremely squishy!!!! Don't try it if you don't have any mapawareness.
This is my first guide, so the setup might be a little funny. But enjoy, and please leave a comment.
for start i go with:
1x Meki Pendant and 2x Health Potion
on the first trip back i buy a Tear of the Goddess and either a Blasting Wand or a pair of Boots of Speed depending on cash and wether you'r dominating or getting dominated.
build it into Archangel's Staff on the next trip back.
after this i usualy upgrade my boots to Sorcerer's Shoes (if you can't afford runes or doesn't have the 30 mastery points, go with Ionian Boots of Lucidity) and start building my Rabadon's Deathcap or Mejai's Soulstealer.
(only go mejai if you are doing great, because enemy team will do ANYTHING to get these stacks away from you).
Then go with Morello's Evil Tome.
after this i like going with Rod of Ages, and at last a Lich Bane. whenever you feel like grab a Elixir of Brilliance for the extra CDR and AP.
I always build my Archangel first, since i don't think Rod of Ages supports you with the mana you need to fully dominate the lane, and if you play with just a little awareness lux's range should make up for the small amount of life.
I grab sorc boots, because i don't feel Ionian is needed, since you should get plenty CDR from Morello's Evil Tome, runes/masteries and the Elixir of Brilliance).
Rabadon's Deathcap really should explain itself.
Later on grabing Rod of Ages will give you a little extra survivability which you will need! Finally i go Lich Bane, because i LOVE seeing basic attacks hit 1k+ after each spell.
i would normally take those instead of Lich Bane, if needed of course.
Banshee's Veil if there's an Ashe or Malzhar or something like that who keeps spamming ulti in you'r face. (or anyone els, who owns you by opening up with CC).
Zhonya's Hourglass if there's one of these crazy DPS guys (like Yi) who keeps focusing u first in teamfights, pop the active and hope for your team to take care of him.
Guardian Angel if you just find yourself dying too much, (don't get this if you know you won't have a chance to escape after death anyway).
Rylai's Crystal Scepter if you REALLY need the extra HP, not the best choice on lux, since most her spells already have CC.
Skilling Order
i max Lucent Singularity first, (though of course grabbing Finales Funkeln whenever available), then i go with Light Binding, or if you feel like you are getting owned, go with Prismatic Barrier if not max this last. (YOU SHOULDN'T GET OWNED!!!!)
Summoner Abilities
I go with Flash and Clairvoyance.
Flash is and excelent spell for both chasing and escaping.
Clairvoyance is a great scouting tool for ganks, and for spotting enemies on the run, making them easy to pick up with Finales Funkeln. Besides those reasons, it's epic for spotting enemy team at Dragon/Baron and then stealing it with Finales Funkeln.
Other options.
Ghost is also a nice skill for escaping or chasing enemies.
Teleport is great for defending towers, or farming a huge wave of minions instead of just letting tower get all that nice gold.
Clarity if you truly are a mana*****.
Ignite might be an option too, but i would never use it, since mid/late game lux should only enter close combat with people you know you can kill.

A farm boy at heart, Dr. Gulland grew up outside of Titusville on the family farm, the oldest of three boys. Aside from raising crops and hay, he raised beef and milk cows, pigs and chickens. He was very active in 4-H and if you are lucky you will hear about his prize-winning Holstein cow - "Westbridge Star Marvix Judy"! Today he resides in Hermitage, PA and while the farm animals are gone he still enjoys gardening and caring for his berry bushes and heirloom fruit trees.
After graduating from Maplewood High School, Dr. G attended Penn State University, earning a B.S. degree in Biology. Always wanting to work in healthcare, he decided to pursue a career in Dentistry and so he enrolled in the University of Pittsburgh, School of Dental Medicine. He graduate 3rd in his class which allowed him to gain entrance to the very competitive Medical College of Virginia where he completed his Orthodontic Residency.
Dr. Gulland considers Orthodontics to be the "fun" specialty of dentistry - and he makes it fun. You can often hear him laughing out loud in the office - especially when teasing the staff.
"Gulland Orthodontics" has been a fixture in the Shenango Valley since 1990 with offices in both Hermitage and Greenville. Many of our local dentists and physicians trust Dr. G for their family's orthodontic care. Dr. G often says one of the best things he does it to surround himself with good staff. He is very proud of the team he has assembled, not only because of their skill, but also because of the kindness and caring they bring to his practice.
He regularly attends educational seminars and training programs taught by some of the most respected names in the profession and maintains numerous active memberships, including the American Association of Orthodontists.
Dr. Gulland and his wife, Debbie, reside in Hermitage and he has 2 grown stepchildren. He is an American history addict and an avid collector or early antiques. Aside from gardening, he enjoys woodworking.

Sapphire HD 6970 FleX Battlefield 3 Edition Review
By airman -
Power Consumption of the system will be measured in both idle states and loaded states and will take into account the peak voltage of the system with each video card installed. The idle results will be measured after 15 minutes of inactivity on the system. For load testing I will once again use Crysis Warhead run at 2560x1600 using the Gamer setting with 8xAA looping the Avalanche benchmark scenario.
- Crysis Warhead Avalanche Demo
- 1920x1200 Resolution
- 8x AA
- 15-minute load test
- 15-minute idle test
- Measurement is in watts
Power consumption — nothing alarming here. At idle, we find that the card pulls a few watts more than the reference HD 6970. Aside from statistical deviation, the main assumption of the cause of this is the slightly higher base clock speed. During the load testing, we find it a few points below.

Teacher and Parent Expectations for Kindergarten Readiness.
Welch, Michael D.; White, Barzanna
Based upon the view that children learn better if their parents' and teachers' expectations are closely aligned, this study compared expectations of teachers and parents for school readiness skills and preparation required for entry into public school. A Likert rating scale was completed by 25 kindergarten/early childhood teachers and 104 parents of children enrolled in kindergarten/early childhood classes in one Louisiana school community. The survey was modified from one used in a national study on teacher opinion toward selected school readiness skills/preparation attributes. A multivariate analysis of variance was conducted to determine if significant differences existed between parents and teachers. Significant questions were examined using independent t-tests to determine the direction of the variation. Local teacher responses were compared to those in the national study. Significant differences were found between parents and teachers on 3 items of the 25-item survey. Parents were more likely than teachers to place importance on time set aside daily to practice school work, to believe that all children would be ready for first grade upon completion of kindergarten, and to place importance on knowing the letters of the alphabet before school entry. Teachers from both the local and the national study identified the same three attributes as essential or very important for children entering public school: (1) physically healthy, rested, and well nourished; (2) can communicate needs, wants, and thoughts verbally in the child's primary language; and (3) is enthusiastic and curious in approaching new activities. (The rating scale is appended. Contains 13 references.) (KB)

A conforming loan is one for which the rate varies based on guidelines set forth by the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae organizations, according to NerdWallet. A jumbo loan, also called a non-conforming loan, is a loan that is above the conforming limit. Different lenders have different conditions for the jumbo loans they offer, and these circumstances change the rates and interest fees a borrower can receive.
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are government-sponsored organizations that offer a secondary market for mortgages, explains NerdWallet. This lets lenders put certain loans into different investment packages for possible reselling. Called conforming loans, their legally bound value can't exceed the conforming loan limit. This is the primary difference between them and jumbo loans, which can exceed this amount.
The benefit of conforming loans is that there are often lower fees and reduced interest rates, according to NerdWallet. This lets lenders free up the capital after selling the loan and use that capital to create more loans. For people who don't qualify for conforming loans, FHA mortgage loans are available. Provided by the Federal Housing Administration, these loans help people who have less-than-perfect credit and who have a smaller amount of a down payment for a new home.

How exciting to be able to race at Woodland Park. It was a great venue, and a great course. Our first really wet cross race this year, it rained most of the day so the mud was very slippery and challenging. There were a lot of spectators from the local community there, more then most races so far. I even talked to a guy who didn't even know what cross was and now is thinking about buying a cross bike because it looked like so much fun. That is awesome and what we get from bringing racing into more local and populated area's. Just wish we could convince the city's of that!!
It was really cold and wet yesterday so the first challenge was figuring out what to wear to stay warm enough but not over heat in the race. At the start line I was a little cold but luckily we didn't have to stand to long. Jenni Gaertner came over to finish out the series that she was leading, she is from Id and is a very strong racer. I knew she was going to be my challenge today, going into the race she had 6 points on me for the overall. I wasn't sure of the point system that MFG was using, as it was kinda difficult to find on the website. So I really didn't know if I could take the lead overall or not. So I decided to just try to go for the win and see what happened.
They said go and off we went. The start was a long paved road with an up hill section then onto the course. I got the whole shot but Jenni came by me at the top of the paved hill so I got on her wheel. She was riding strong right off the gun so I knew this one was going to hurt! I stayed on her wheel until we hit a little muddy section where I got by her and she then jumped on my wheel. We went back and forth like this for the first 2 laps, then Jenni attacked me on the hillier sections of the course on the back side. I didn't have enough in my legs with racing the State Champs yesterday to match her so I had to just stay at my pace. She pulled away and got up to a 20 sec gap on me. I thought to myself that I may not be able to get her back but to not give up because with a course like this with all the technical muddy sections anything can happen.
With about 2 laps to go I realized I was starting to pull her back a bit, she was getting a little tired I think. I got within a 10 sec gap to her with one lap to go, and she crashed pretty hard going into the last lap. By the time I got around the turn she was back on her bike, I didn't know that she crashed, but when I saw her I decided it was my chance to attack and I did. I got up everything I had in me and hit it hard. I tried to ride fast but not crash, by the end of the last lap I had gotten a good gap and was able to come through for the win!! I was so proud of myself for not giving up and riding a hard race from the beginning and staying on my bike and not in the mud.
Like I always say, never give up, anything can happen. And this was a perfect example. Lee Smith had a great day and finished out the podium in 3rd.
So it wasn't until I got home last night and started doing some math that I realized that I couldn't take the win overall because of how MFG did the point spread. There is a very tight margin in the points system they use and you only get 2 points on 2nd place by winning. So since I was behind by 6, I would have had to beat her by like 4 or 5 placings to win the series. Oh well, I tried. Congrats to Jenni on a great series!
So it's not final but I should be in 2nd overall. Now it's time to switch focus back to the Seattle series where I am undefeated at this point. I hope to keep up this streak for the last 2 races!!
And my husband Chad had a great race as well, he rode super strong and moved up from around 13th in the first lap to 6th by the end. All his training is paying off now!
Now we move up North again finally to Sedro Wolley this Sunday for a very muddy and power course. I will let you know how it ends up.

Prevention of flu (influenza)
The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccine, also known as a flu shot. Flu vaccine is safe and effective. You cannot get the flu from the flu vaccine. Most people do not have reactions to the flu vaccine. Severe reactions are very rare.
Getting a flu vaccine is a simple action that can save lives by:
- protecting you if you are exposed to the virus
- preventing you from getting very sick
- helping protect other people because you are less likely to spread the virus to others
Everyone 6 months and older should get the vaccine. This is especially important for:
- people who are at high risk of complications
- those who are especially capable of spreading the flu to those at higher risk
It is important that you get a new flu vaccine every year because the:
- effectiveness of the vaccine can wear off, so you need a new one every year to stay protected
- type of flu virus usually changes from year to year
- experts create a new vaccine to protect you each flu season
Ask your health care provider about getting the vaccine. You can also find a location near you (such as a pharmacy or public health clinic) to get the vaccine.
This season's flu vaccine will protect against the influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the season. This includes:
- 2 influenza A viruses
- 1 or 2 influenza B viruses, depending on the flu vaccine you receive
In addition to getting the flu vaccine, you can also protect yourself and those around you from the flu by:
- washing your hands frequently
- coughing and sneezing into the bend of your arm, not into your hand
- avoiding touching your nose, mouth or eyes with your hands
- cleaning and disinfecting objects and surfaces that a lot of people touch, such as:
- doorknobs
- phones
- television remotes
- eating healthy foods and doing physical activities to keep your immune system strong
- getting plenty of rest or sleep
If you do get sick, stay home and avoid contact with other people until your symptoms are gone. This will help prevent the spread of the virus.
If you plan to travel, consult a health care provider or travel health clinic at least 6 weeks before leaving.

Leaving the Google Sandbox
This graph of visitor numbers referred from Google Search shows how traffic from Google changes from:
Site created
Site indexed by google
Site entered google sandbox
Site left google sandbox
(Visitors graph courtesy of Google Analytics).
Amazon referral fees
The site has provided a steady trickle of click-throughs to Amazon, however these result in conversions of only 5% or so into actual orders / sales. This is made slightly worse by the fact that I am referring to books, but people will tend to also look in the 'used' section of amazon - which may mean that a given sale price ends-up being a fraction of the Recommended Retail Price. Sometimes a click through can result in a sale, but the customer may have chosen a used book at a low price, and the amazon affiliate commission may be less than 1 UK pence.
If you target your links to particularly expensive amazon products, then customers may still opt for cheap used versions of the same product.
Amazon referral products
So far sales through Amazon have been low, but one thing I have noticed is that the majority of revenue has actually been generated from other products which are totally unrelated to the product aimed at with the click-through.
This might suggest that it is worth making the amazon advertisements less targeted. I will leave it another month or two before trying that approach.

For Immediate Release
College Park, MD, May 27, 2014—The American Association of Physics Teachers and the American Physical Society are pleased to announce the formation of the Joint Task Force on Undergraduate Physics Programs (J-TUPP), which is charged with engaging the physics community to develop a report that answers the question "What skills and knowledge should the next generation of undergraduate physics degree holders possess to be well prepared for a diverse set of careers?" By providing guidelines and recommendations on content, pedagogy, professional skills and student engagement, the report will give physics departments across the county a blueprint for enhancing their undergraduate programs.
J-TUPP will be led by Professors Paula Heron (University of Washington) and Laurie McNeil (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill). The other members of J-TUPP are Douglas Arion (Carthage College), J.D. Garcia (University of Arizona), S. James Gates (University of Maryland-College Park), Elizabeth McCormack (Bryn Mawr College), Duncan Moore (University of Rochester), Helen Quinn (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center), Quinton Williams (Jackson State University), and Lawrence Woolf (General Atomics Aeronautical Systems). The group will seek input from physicists (including physics students) in academe, national laboratories and business and industry, and professionals in other STEM disciplines that employ physics graduates and whose students take physics courses. J-TUPP expects to finish its report by mid-2016.

Del Potro sends Djokovic packing in Olympics shock
Djokovic, who won this year's Australian and French Open titles, was the favourite to add Olympic gold to his 12 grand slam titles, and Del Potro was as surprised as anyone to see the Serb go out.
"I didn't expect to beat Novak tonight," said del Potro, who has been battling a wrist injury for much of the season.
"But I played an amazing match, my forehand worked great."
Del Potro used his lethal forehand to stun the Serb with a powerful display to win 7-6(4) 7-6(2) in the biggest upset of the tennis tournament.
Earlier in the day, del Potro briefly got stuck in a malfunctioning lift but his luck improved against Djokovic, whom he also defeated in the bronze medal match at the London Games.
Del Potro has fallen outside the top 100 in the world rankings but showed flashes of the hard-hitting brilliance that helped him win the U.S. Open in 2009.

by John M. Borack
I figured it was high time I knock this list out, seeing as we're now in February already. Here are my top 20 discs of 2010, with brief annotations for each. Some relative unknowns, some surprises, some no-brainer picks. Unlike many "best of" lists, I included compilations because….well, because it's my list and I can do whatever the heck I please. So there. At any rate, here goes…
1. Various Artists – Sweet Relief II: Hearts On Fire
24 ridiculously catchy jangly power pop tracks from artists hailing from all over the world, and nothing even close to ordinary. Old faves such as The Gripweeds, DM3 and The Shambles sit comfortably alongside such new (to me) upstarts as The Temponauts, Paisley and Charlie, and The Junipers. Plus, the proceeds go to a great cause. Divine.
2. Graham Parker – Imaginary Television
Raise your hand if you never expected a grizzled vet such as G. Parker to come up with one of his finest, most melodic and typically acerbic efforts in 2010. Yeah, my hand's up, too.
3. Various Artists – A Kool Kat Kristmas
Another honey of a power pop comp, this time with a holiday theme. But Maple Mars' "Christmas Time in the City" and Parallax Project's "All I Want for Christmas (is a Chance)" – to name but two of the stellar tunes here – will provide the proper power pop pleasure all year round.
4. Seth Swirsky – Watercolor Day
A simply beautiful soft pop tour-de-force from the talented Mr. Swirsky, ably aided and abetted by producer Rick Gallego and some of LA's finest musicians.
5. Taylor Locke & The Roughs – Marathon
Where the guitarist from Rooney releases his second solo effort in less than a year and trumps his "real" band. "The Honor Roll" alone would be worth the price of admission, and "Badfinger" just slays me.
6. Hans Rotenberry & Brad Jones – Mountain Jack
A great release from Rotenberry (leader of power pop icons The Shazam) and ace producer/wayward pop guy Brad Jones (remember his 1995 semi-legendary disc Gilt Flake?). Sounds like some bizarrely melodic amalgamation of the Faces, the Beatles and alt-country/folk.
7. Farrah – Farrah
Ho hum, just another in a series of outstanding pure pop releases from this flying-under-the-radar UK act.
8. Gin Blossoms – No Chocolate Cake
Surprised? I know I was. But there's simply no denying the hookiness of the songs.
9. Elvyn – The Decline
Ever wonder what Teenage Fanclub would sound like if they jammed with a couple of alt-country dudes? These Canadians have the answer. Wonderful songs.
10. Nushu – Hula
They sing like angels, rock like mad and write cool tunes. What's not to love? Oh, and the bonus track KILLS.
11. Duncan Maitland – Lullabies For The 21st Century
England's answer to Seth Swirsky, dipped in XTC. Or something like that. Quirky yet beautiful.
12. The Rubinoos – Automatic Toaster
Old power popppers never die, they just hook up with producer/drummer Robbie Rist and deal out aces such as the sublime "The Pony Express" and the surefire winner "Must Be a Word."
13. Locksley – Be in Love
They rock, they shout, and "21st Century," "Love You Too," "Darling, It's True" and (especially) "The Whip" are almost criminally infectious.
14. Three Hour Tour – Looking For Tomorrow
These veteran Illinois pop guys have never released a bad record, and they didn't do it again. Sweet, thick jangle abounds.
15. Gavin Guss – Mercury Mine
Understated Emitt Rhodes-like piano-based pop from the Pacific Northwest.
16. The Young Veins – Take A Vacation
Hard to believe that the two head honchos used to ply their trade in Panic! at the Disco; this breezy, good-time, Beach Boysy record certainly belies that. "Cape Town" = pop perfection.
17. Paul Collins – King Of Power Pop!
Proving that pure power pop is alive and well, Collins releases his finest album in nearly 30 years.
18. Jon Lindsay – Escape From Plaza-Midwood
Low key and lovely, introspective and engaging, with just the right amount of modern touches. Love his voice, too.
19. Rooney – Eureka
A pristine-sounding release that may not rock as hard as their previous output, but is consistently enjoyable nonetheless.
20. Michael Pink – Michael Pink
Another of those stupidly talented pop guys who writes all the songs, plays every instrument and recorded the whole shebang "in various bedrooms across the upper Midwest."
