As Europe's financial crisis intensifies, financial products like exchange-traded notes (ETNs), that rely on the credit backing of European banks look like a very risky right now.
Let's analyze the $16 billion market in U.S. listed ETNs to see the similarities.
ETNs vs. ETFs
While ETNs and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are sometimes grouped together, or worse, confused as the same thing, they are not.
Unlike traditional ETFs, exchange-traded notes are debt obligations backed by the financial or banking institution that issues them. ETNs pay a return linked to the performance of a single security or index. Who pays the return? The financial issuer backing the note.
ETNs can track a variety of assets from commodities (DJP), to the VIX Index (VXX) and Indian stocks (INP). ETNs are also used as day trading instruments for those that want leveraged long exposure (DGP) or leveraged short (DZZ) to gold or other assets.
Investors that choose to keep their ETN to maturity receive a cash payment calculated from the beginning trade date to the ending period, or maturity date. The annual fees deducted reduce the value of the payment.
Maturity periods can vary and may be as long as 30 years. ETN investors who don't want to hold their note to maturity can sell it prior to maturity on the exchange where they trade.
European Banking Connection
Beyond the U.S.stock market's (VTI) daily moves, Europe's financial crisis has subtle domestic implications.
The U.S. ETN marketplace is heavily composed of products issued by European banks. Furthermore, it would be safe to say that European banks themselves don't know how safe European banks are. Isn't that why they've been hoarding cash, and isn't that why they've been parking other vast amounts with the European Central Bank?
Here's what ETFguide told its newsletter subscribers:
"From the very beginning of Europe's crisis, its leading voices (from Europe's Central Bank to its heads of state) have been consistent in one regard: They've continually underestimated the severity of the crisis each step of the way. They were wrong about Greece, Ireland and Portugal not needing bailouts – and they were badly wrong on the actual size of the bailout required. Is there any reason to believe they'll be wrong (again) about the alleged soundness of Europe's banking system?"
Which of Europe's banks are illiquid, overleveraged or on the verge of bankruptcy? Is it Britain's Barclays (BCS)? Is it Germany's Deutsche Bank (DB)? Is it Switzerland's UBS (UBS)? Or is it another institution? Soon enough, we'll know.
Is History Repeating Itself?
Which ETNs are at the greatest risk of loss because of Europe's financial crisis? The September ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter outlined who the top ETN providers are, which ones to avoid and a protection strategy for navigating the storm. During the '08-'09 financial crisis, the ETNs issued by Lehman Brothers got clobbered and eventually became worthless.
Today, the $16 billion market for ETNs in the U.S. is much larger than it was three years ago, which means one thing: This time around, the same ETN blowup that's on the verge of occurring will much larger in scale and much uglier.
In summary, financial advisors should be aggressive in protecting their clients from the credit risk of ETNs by sticking with traditional ETFs.

A teen's relationship — or lack of good relationship — with parents, pals or teachers may have a lot to do with why most kids aren't getting the nine to 10 hours of sleep that doctors recommend. The hormonal disruptions of puberty likely also play a role.
That's the word from David Maume, a sociologist and sleep researcher at the University of Cincinnati. Maume recently analyzed federal health data from a survey of 974 teenagers who were questioned first when they were 12 years old, and then again at age 15. His findings appear in the December issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
Teens who had very warm relationships with their parents — who said they felt supported, for example, and could talk to their folks — tended to sleep better, Maume found. "Whereas, families going through distressful times — divorce or remarriage — that tended to disrupt teen sleep," he says.
Having problems or feeling unsafe at school also disturbed sleep, though students who said they had good relationships with teachers tended to sleep better.
Teens who reported having strong friendships with peers who shared similar academic goals, or who were involved in sports or other school activities also got a better night's sleep.
Kids, it turns out, aren't so different from adults in this way. "If we're happy and content," Maume says, "we're much more likely to sleep better than if we're distressed and anxious and worried."
Of course, teens are often more drawn to their computers and social networking than adults are. But Maume found that when parents were strict not only about bedtime, but also about limiting technology, the kids slept better.
"It's a finding that seems obvious," Maume says. "But perhaps we need reminding that parents really do matter when it comes to health habits of their teenagers."
The national data suggest that, on average, kids lose about an hour and a half of sleep a night between ages 12 and 15 — dropping from about nine hours per night to a little less than eight.
Nudging that number back up to the recommended nine or 10 nightly hours seems impossible to Stacy Simera, an Ohio mental health therapist who is also mother to 14-year-old Graig.
"As a mom, my role is to set the right environment for my son," Simera says. "He does not have caffeine. He does not have TV in the bedroom, [and] no cellphone or iPad in his room when he's supposed to be asleep."
Graig's good about all of that, Simera says. But even if he hits the sack at 9 p.m., she'll often hear him tossing and turning until after 11.
Dr. Shalini Paruthi, who heads the pediatric sleep and research center at St. Louis University, blames the shifting hormones of puberty for throwing a wrench into the internal clock of many teens.
"They're not as sleepy as early as they used to be," Paruthi says. "So, in grade school they were easily going to sleep and getting sleepy at 8:30, [but] now they're getting sleepy at 9:30 — and for some kids it goes much further."
As with many hormonal changes, some people are more affected than others. But whatever the cause, statistics suggest that kids who don't get the ideal nine or 10 hours total of shut-eye each night are at higher risk for things like poor academic performance, colds, flu, depression and — among teens old enough to drive — accidents on the road.
We heard recently on this program about how getting enough sleep is a problem for today's teenagers. A new study suggests that a teen's relationship with parents, friends and teachers may have a lot to do with why they don't get a good night's sleep.
NPR's Patti Neighmond reports on the research from the University of Cincinnati.
PATTI NEIGHMOND, BYLINE: David Maume is a sociologist and sleep researcher. He analyzed federal health data, which surveyed 974 teenagers when they were 12, and then again when they were 15. He found that family dynamics have a lot to do with how well kids sleep.
DAVID MAUME: Teens that had very warm relations with their parents, felt like they could talk to them, felt like their parents were supportive of them, they tended to sleep better. Whereas families that were going through distressing times - say, going through a divorce or a remarriage - that tended to disrupt teens' sleep.
NEIGHMOND: And so did problems at school.
MAUME: Feeling safe at school, having good relations with teachers, those things tended to promote better sleep.
NEIGHMOND: As did good relationships with friends. Kids whose friends shared similar academic goals, took part in sports or other positive social activities were also more likely to get a good night's sleep. You could say it adds up to something that makes lots of sense: a general feeling of well-being helps you sleep.
MAUME: If we're happy and contented, we're much more likely to sleep better than if we're distressed and anxious and worried.
NEIGHMOND: Now, of course, teens are incredibly drawn to their computers and social networking. And Maume found that when parents were strict not only about bedtime, but also about limiting technology, kids slept better.
MAUME: It's a finding that seems obvious, but perhaps we need reminding of it, that parents really do matter when it comes to health habits of their teenagers.
NEIGHMOND: The federal sleep data shows that between the ages of 12 and 15, kids lose, on average, about an hour and a half of sleep a night, getting less than eight hours.
Sleep experts recommend nine to 10 hours a night, a goal that Stacy Simera, mother of 14-year-old Graig, is trying very hard to meet.
STACY SIMERA: As a mom, my role is to try to set the right environment for my son. And so he does not have caffeine. He does not have a TV in his bedroom. There's no cell phone or iPad up in his room when he's supposed to be asleep.
NEIGHMOND: But despite all of this, it pretty much never happens.
SIMERA: We send him to bed at 9 o'clock. And he's obedient. He goes. But I hear him tossing and turning. I hear him get up and go to bathroom. I hear him get up and get a drink of water.
NEIGHMOND: Simera says Graig typically doesn't get to sleep till after 11. That's likely due to another huge factor at play here: puberty.
Dr. Shalini Paruthi heads the Pediatric Sleep and Research Center at St. Louis University.
SHALINI PARUTHI: We can't lose sight of the fact that puberty changes are very important to adolescent sleep.
NEIGHMOND: During puberty, kids' internal body clock - this cues the body when it's tired - changes.
PARUTHI: So, instead of getting sleepy at 8:30 P.M., now they're getting sleepy at 9:30 P.M. But for some teenagers, it shifts much further. And those are the kids who sometimes are not sleepy till midnight, or until two or three in the morning, and then have to wake up early for school.
NEIGHMOND: Clearly, these kids aren't getting the ideal nine to 10 hours a night. And that puts them at risk for all the consequences of sleep deprivation, including poor academic performance, colds, flu, depression and, among kids old enough to drive, accidents on the road.

Momentary progress and a new snag
The new dining room carpet went in last week. The installers arrived 1 1/2 hours early, which meant we were finished that much earlier. When Dave came home, we shifted furniture back into the dining room. Oh, the space! Just the dining room set, the china and curio cabinets, and some plants. In other words, it actually looked like a dining room and not a disaster area. Then we started unpacking the contents of the curio cabinet and bringing the china back down for the china cabinet.
It was during that transfer process that I realized the upstairs thermostat was making a clicking sound, and the temperature reading was higher than the thermostat setting.
They were out on Thursday, reworking some of the installation settings, and headed out again. Three hours later, when I was back upstairs, I realized I was hearing the same clicking sound, and once again, the temperature wasn't right.
Friday afternoon he pulled the entire unit off the wall and re-installed, per the manufacturer's instructions. Three hours later, there were still no clicking sounds, but the upstairs temperature hadn't budged down from 86 degrees.
As of now, we're still on hold waiting for a new replacement thermostat to come in from the manufacturer's. I hope it comes in this afternoon, as I really don't want to go another weekend without any ac upstairs, but at this point I'm not holding my breath.
In the meantime, progress on putting the sewing room back together has stalled out, since the boys are currently sleeping in there. All of the boxes that were in storage for the last round of work in the sewing room came back home, as we had given our move out notice. Since the sewing room isn't available, everything is stacked in the dining room once again.
On the plus side, last Friday we thoroughly cleaned the aquarium, which was decommissioned over a year ago in advance of the new floor tile installation, and set it back up in the house over the weekend. No fish yet, but we had already decided not to get the actual fish until a couple of other household commitments were finished.
We also picked out a new kitchen light over the weekend (which wasn't in stock, of course.) It's here now and installing that will probably be a project for this weekend. After nearly a year, we also selected new lights for the boys' bathroom. Those are also not in stock, but we haven't ordered them yet. We're still trying to finalize the decision on updated lights for the downstairs bathroom so we can order all of those at the same time.

These few words were written to introduce Jon Peede and Andrew Carroll, the creators and guiding spirits of Operation Homecoming, at a recent public meeting of the Pioneer Valley Veterans Writers Project, sponsored by the Veterans Education Project. Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience, founded and funded by the National Endowment for the Arts in 2004, has, in the ensuing years, encouraged and enabled veterans and their families to write their personal stories, for now and for the future.
Decades ago, while in "stage one" of our courtship, my wife was asked by her grandmother about me or, more specifically, about "what I did." Told that I studied and taught "all things ancient," her only comment was "how remote" (and presumably harmless). In that instance, however, this acutely perceptive woman was, on both counts, mistaken; for the past is never truly past, much less remote, and the truth, however ancient, is rarely, if ever, harmless.
Offered the remarkable privilege of "thinking out loud" for several minutes about the profound endeavor known as "Operation Homecoming, which has inspired our local "Pioneer Valley Veterans Writers Project." I will then, "in character" as it were, suggest a few ancient and, I trust, relevant thoughts about the past and about the truth to be found there.
It's a truism that no one goes off to war and comes back the same. This is no less true for being a truism. Truisms, after all, are things that we all know to be true but that we rarely spend any time thinking about, often because we prefer not to. The truism expressed by a drunken, brazen Herakles in Euripides' tragicomedy of Alcestis is a case in point:
We're all gonna die, friend… so listen up… we gotta think mortal thoughts and live while we can. It's all we've got. And, in your prayers, don't forget Aphrodite.
Now there's a sweet little goddess…
Another truth that doesn't quite qualify as a truism because not everyone knows it, although they should, is that wars are not over when they're over. They leave behind wreckage and wounds. Warriors bring their war home with them, not like a tan acquired on holiday but like a secret they wish they hadn't been told.
What about that secret? After the wars of the twentieth century — especially those wars labeled "great" and "good"— the common wisdom passed on to veterans from every side regarding what they now knew and others didn't was to: "let it go" — "leave it alone and it will leave you alone" — "leave it behind and it will stay there." All this made — and makes — perfect sense, except to veterans. "Alone"… "behind"… how convenient! To the uninitiated: common sense. To the warrior come home: silent betrayal.
Why betrayal? What's wrong with forgetting what we wish we had never learned? Why not "sweet oblivion"? Enter the ancients, because they have something to say that perhaps we have not heard yet or thought about lately.
Curiously, the word for "the past" in ancient Greek means that which we face, and the word for "the future" means that which is behind our back. What sense, we ask, does that make? Don't we walk into the future with our back to the past? In that case, however, as the Greeks see it, we are walking blind. Yes, of course, our eyes face forward, time's inevitable direction, and ours as well. But, as we do so, as we move through the time of our lives, it's the past that we can see and the future to which we are blind. As Homer describes it, the future and, inevitably, death stalk us from behind, our blind side. We cannot see death coming, but we know it is. The fact is that when we leave our past behind — forgetting it or banishing it — like Oedipus, we take out our own eyes and start over, not knowing who we are or what we are doing. Wise and helping voices like those of W.H.R. Rivers, Judith Herman, Jonathan Shay, Jon Peede, Andrew Carroll and for the last three decades our Valley's own Veterans Education Project, have been saying just this to veterans of all too many wars, speaking out against the repression of war experience in favor of remembering the past, finding its narrative, and learning to tell what Vietnam veteran and acclaimed author Tim O'Brien describes as the all too elusive and unwelcome genre: "the true war story."
Easier said than done. And the ancients knew why. The trouble is, in Herakleitos' words, "the true nature of things likes to hide." To complicate matters further, we like to hide from it as well. If the truth is what we are after, because — to cite still another truism — it will set us free, then the ancient Greeks again have light to shed on our task. The Greek word for truth is aletheia, which literally means that which we have somehow managed to un-forget. The root concept here is "lethe" or oblivion. You may recall that in Greek myth "Lethe" is the river crossed by the dead on their way to Hades. In crossing over it we forget forever our pasts, our lives, and who we are and enter Hades, which no one has ever called a place of sweet oblivion. Oblivion yes; sweet no. It is the land of the lost. In coming back from there, where some of us sometimes find ourselves, even in life, we must row hard against the waters of River Lethe. Un-forgetting, remembering, is long, hard, and always harrowing work. The fruit of this work is stories, true stories. And these stories, for combat veterans, can be a matter of life and death, as Tim O'Brien reminds us in The Things They Carried:
All those Stories. Not bloody stories necessarily. Happy stories, too, and even a few peace stories.… That's what stories are for. Stories are for joining the past to the future. Stories are for those late hours in the night when you can't remember how you got from where you were to where you are. Stories are for eternity, when memory is erased, when there is nothing to remember except the story.
An exhibit of portraits of local veterans by photographer David Turner can be viewed until June 5 at the Gallery at the Hallmark Instituted in Turners Falls.

This week, CNBC's Brian Schatman reported on the buying and selling of exotic animals.
Every day, people smuggle live animals or animal products into the United States, propping up an illegal trade worth an estimated $10 billion worldwide, according to the report.
But with so much cargo coming into the country through various routes — and very few wildlife inspectors — the lucrative criminal enterprise is proving difficult to stop.

Online summer courses prove popular
Tuesday, June 18, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
Micah Black has a lot she wants to do this summer. From fun in the sun to cozy nights in with a book, she definitely has a lot of leisure time on her agenda.
However, there is also a "must-do" on the slate: French class.
Black, a senior in political science at Pittsburg State University, said being able to take a summer course in French online allows her to combine her "must-do" with her "want-to."
"Having the option to take the class online is great because I can work on my own time and it leaves my schedule open for the other things I want to do this summer," she said.
Black is one of more than 1,400 PSU students taking advantage of the university's online summer offerings, an increase of more than 200 students over 2012 numbers.
With online courses becoming increasingly popular nationwide, Pitt State continues to add to its offering each year.
"Our online program grows every year, and it's quickly become one of the most popular options for our students," Lynette Olson, provost and vice president for academic affairs, said. "We have a lot of students who go back home for the summer to work, and our online offerings allow them to take PSU courses from familiar PSU faculty."
Summer courses continue to grow in popularity among undergraduate and graduate students at Pittsburg State. According to the PSU registrar's offices, preliminary enrollment numbers show an increase of approximately 150 students over last year's numbers.
"One of the main benefits for our current students is that it allows them to jump ahead a little bit in terms of meeting their completion requirements for attaining their degrees," she said. "It allows them to accelerate their program."
Catherine Geiger, sophomore biology major, is taking a microbiology course this summer. She said she enjoys summer courses because they help her focus.
"There are a lot of benefits to taking a summer course, but one of the main ones for me is that you can focus on this one class without distractions," she said.

Washington, D.C., April 23, 2013
The American Veterinary Medical Association's highly anticipated "2013 U.S. Veterinary Workforce Study: Modeling Capacity Utilization" is an important step among many taken in recent years to help the veterinary medical profession reach a more appropriate state of economic equilibrium. We commend the AVMA for commissioning this study, which is a very useful and important achievement for the profession.
As a data-driven organization, the AAVMC appreciates the value of a study that brings rigor and evidence to a dialogue sometimes based upon supposition and misperception. It challenges us to ask the question "how do we proceed from here?"
The study describes an existing excess capacity of 12.5 percent profession-wide, and confirms variances across geographic regions and professional sectors. For example, the study cites a current excess-capacity of 18 percent in small animal practice, yet found relative balance in public health, food safety, research and regulatory affairs.
Most in our profession realize that the present state of affairs has been a long time coming. Over the past 25 years, studies ranging from the Pew Report to KPMG have been undertaken to help our profession rise above the market characteristics and conditions behind our persistent economic problems.
These factors have to do with the way society pays for human-quality care for companion animals, the dynamics of internet commerce, changes in agricultural production practices, the high cost of medical education, and others. Despite these challenges, our profession has coped well. But when the Great Recession hit, those "sub-clinical" problems festered into something more ominous.
The ensuing economic shock substantially reduced consumer demand for many services, including veterinary ones. As millions lost their jobs and many their homes, they also lost their ability to pay for clinical care for their companion animals, particularly preventive care. Fortunately, signs of economic progress are abundant in the national economy: jobless rates are dropping, financial markets are climbing, and housing is coming back. We can all agree that this bodes well for our profession.
Periodic imbalances in our profession and others have occurred before and will occur again. Many thought veterinary medicine was doomed when the car replaced the horse for draft and transportation. Dentistry also went through a period of imbalance following the mass introduction of fluoride into the nation's public water supplies. Between 1986 and 2001, seven private dental schools closed. As is the case with our own profession, no overarching "authority" existed to mandate school closures or class reductions. Decisions to change or close were made by autonomous institutions based on individual financial circumstances. It is interesting to note that 10 dental schools opened between 1997 and 2013.
Each of our member institutions is responsible for its own enrollment based on its mission and the needs of each school's region and state. Half a dozen years ago there was a great deal of discussion in the profession about an impending under-capacity, especially in public health related areas of veterinary medicine. That was one of the reasons there was such widespread support for the federal "Veterinary Workforce Expansion Act of 2005." Any class enlargements we see today are the result of action taken then to respond to that need. It takes time to gain funding, build physical plants, and recruit faculty.
This study documents some fundamental problems. But it didn't take this study to know that salaries are too low and educational debt is unacceptably high. The economic challenges facing our colleges of veterinary medicine and our students are not unique; they are systemic throughout higher education. Our nation needs to reexamine how it funds its colleges and universities; it's a much bigger issue than just academic veterinary medicine.
The study begs the question: "How should our schools and colleges of veterinary medicine respond?" We view academic veterinary medicine and the nation's practice environment as fully integrated, constantly interacting and co-dependent systems. As such we shoulder the burdens --and the triumphs --of this profession together.
During the months ahead, the members of the AAVMC will carefully consider this report and its implications. We will continue to develop new programs that address the economic well being of the profession, engage in constructive dialogue with the organized veterinary medical community, and do all we can to create positive change.
Despite our challenges, we should remember those who possess veterinary medical degrees are uniquely equipped to tackle some of society's most pressing problems. There is growing recognition that the academic rigor and comparative nature of a DVM degree, spanning multiple species, brings value and application across a broad spectrum of technical, scientific and medical careers, including homeland security, public health, disease detection and prevention, research, and protecting the safety of our nation's food supply. We must continue to encourage, recruit, and educate the best students. And America's love affair with the family pet is not over.
We believe that market forces are the ultimate determinants of capacity and demand in an economic system. We understand that periods of stress and friction are not unusual as professions work through supply and demand cycles. We welcome this study's valuable perspective and the resolve for improvement it should elicit in all of us. Our overarching goal is to make sure our efforts to prepare new generations of veterinarians remain in strategic alignment with the needs and expectations of the society we serve.

"If you see your ancestors on this blog … contact me! I am always happy to share information. My e-mail address is in my profile (the link under the section entitled "About Me")."
This is not just filler. There is a reason that same sentiment is expressed at the end of every one of my Surname Saturday/Featured Family Friday posts: "I would love to share information with anyone related to/researching this family."
This blog has many purposes – some foreseen when I created it, some not – but the main purpose is to share information with fellow researchers.
I have seen the benefits to be derived from putting genealogical information out there on a blog many times and through it have already made many wonderful contacts with relatives and fellow researchers. And I have read about similar experiences described by my fellow geneabloggers. These contacts have added greatly to our research and enriched our genealogy experience.
So there is no reason to be shy: please do not hesitate to contact me! I post the information and you are free to copy it. But there is more where that came from; these are only the "bare bones"! If the feeling that you are a beginning researcher and don't have much to contribute is holding you back, don't let it! I still consider myself a beginning researcher, and once I was a real newbie. I basically knew my parents' immediate families and little else. Yet I dared to write to a couple of experienced researchers who I was certain had information on my mysterious great-grandfather. I had one piece of information to trade: I knew his mother's maiden name. And we continue to trade information.
But you do not need even that. I am simply happy to find out a little about you and your family connection, if that is all you know. You may have a piece of information I have been searching for. And I also believe that I should treat people searching for information with as much consideration as those first two contacts and many others have treated me.

I feel the same way on my blog. I've gotten in touch with a couple relatives who came upon my blog, and another recently left a comment saying he wanted to share info and pictures, but didn't leave any contact information for himself! So tantalizingly close, and so frustrating, when you know the connection is there but just have to wait and hope he comes back and leaves an e-mail address next time!ReplyDelete
May many of your relatives find your blog!
I love this! I'm adding a line or two to my blog immediately. Thanks so much for the reminder!ReplyDelete

A 1997 photograph has been unearthed showing Barack Obama marching in a tea-party-style parade, long before the tax-cutting, patriotic movement began, and despite Obama's apparent disdain for "teabaggers," as he has termed them.
"Yes, that really is Barack Obama wearing a regimental coat and carrying a tricorn hat in his hand," writes John Sexton of Breitbart.com, which is publishing the photo. "And that flag behind him really is a Gadsden flag, with its serpent and its 'Don't Tread On Me' slogan."
Sexton notes, "In 2009, President Barack Obama reportedly called members of the tea party 'teabaggers.' It turns out that our fourth greatest president, first in so many things, may have been the first 'teabagger' himself."
Breitbart.com explains the forgotten photo has been in plain view for fifteen years, explaining it appeared on the front page of Chicago's Hyde Park Herald on July 9th, 1997, snapped by photographer Nancy Campbell Hays.
It says the original picture, which was donated to the University of Chicago, isn't yet available for public view, and the image obtained by Breitbart News was very dark, and so it was lightened in Photoshop.
The Herald's caption below the photograph read:
"Hey, look over here! Something catches the attention of Sen. Barack Obama (13th), Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie (25th), Ald. Toni Preckwinkle (4th) and Stephanie Franklin as they lead the annual '4th on 53rd' parade."
Breitbart points out neither Democrats nor the media have been especially kind to the tea party in recent years:
"MSNBC's Rachel Maddow was one of many who saw mockery of the 'teabaggers' as the first recourse. (The word was used so often by liberals in 2009 that Oxford made it a Word of the Year finalist.) Liberal sites like Talking Points Memo presented attendees who dressed up the way Obama did above as weirdos. The ever-predictable Bill Maher got hoots from his audience when he donned his own tricorn hat (complete with dangling tea bags) to bash the Tea Party on TV.
"President Obama blamed the 'teabaggers' for his failures, according to Jonathan Alter's book 'The Promise: President Obama, Year One,' complaining that his own 2009 stimulus 'helped to create the tea-baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party to where it now controls the agenda for the Republicans.' (Vice President Joe Biden is blaming them still.)
"Yet in the dramatic battles over trumped up charges of Tea Party racism and extremism, Obama never mentioned his own 'Tea Party' episode — and neither has anyone in the media, even as Obama's allies and friends on the left ridiculed the Tea Party for seeking to make the same symbolic connections to the country's founding."
Sexton noted: "Since 2009, the ridicule of tea party signs and costumes has been so constant from Obama, the mainstream media, and the left that Glenn Beck encouraged people to stop dressing up so as not to give them an excuse."

In this article of 22 March 2012 Partners of London based law firm Bristows report on a new compromise approach by the Danish EU Presidency to resolve the current deadlock in the question as to where the important Central Division of the future EU Unified Patent Court should be located (see earlier postings here, here, or here). Currently, the most promising candidates to host the Central Division are Paris, London and Munich:
Intriguingly, the Danes have floated a possible sharing compromise, that is to say that there could be three Central Divisions, or perhaps more accurately, a co-located Central Division.Unfortunately, the article does not cite any source for this interesting information. So if anybody happens to know more about it, please let me know.
The article goes on the speculate on possible case allocation schemes of such a trifucated Central Division:
For example, would each branch of the Central Division be able to hear all revocation cases, and hence operate in all three languages? Or would the London branch deal with revocation cases for English language cases, Paris with French ones, and Munich with German ones? And if not, how would the Registry, where all cases must be begun (apparently promised to Luxembourg), distribute business? Would the parties have a say? Would it be done by chance with cases going to each branch of the Central Division on a Buggins' turn basis? Would we see a German language patent being litigated between two German companies in German, in Paris or London because the German division hearing infringement had decided to bifurcate its case and it was not Munich's turn to be allocated a validity case?What appears clear is that even if due to the French Presidential Elections official steps are highly unlikely until the 30 May Competitiveness Council meeting , back-room negotionations and lobbying of stakeholders will continue unabated.

When the Church released photos of the brown seer stone that was owned and used by Joseph Smith, the news ignited a firestorm of curiosity and controversy. People wanted more information and wondered why they hadn't been aware of the stone's existence.
This book discusses the origins of Joseph Smith's seer stones and explores how Joseph used them throughout his life in a way that goes beyond translating the Book of Mormon. It also traces the provenance of his stones once they left his possession. The authors examine how the Book of Mormon itself provides a storyline about the history of seer stones and how this helped Joseph Smith learn about his own prophetic gifts.
|6 x 9
|Deseret Book and RSC BYU 2016
I read about seer stones many years ago when I was in my early teens and that made perfect sense to me. It's nothing that tests my faith or should test yours. In fact, I think it's marvelous that the Lord provides the means whereby his prophets can accomplish what he has asked them to do! Thanks to the Bretheren and to you for sharing more information on this topic.
As an LDS Scientist I have been following the availability of information on the Prophet's seer stones for many years. This is an excellent book on what is known about the history of his various seer stones, which is, I'm sorry to say, very little. I would only add that Mother Smith said that the two stones in the original Urim and Thummim in the silver bows were so far apart in the spectacles that the Prophet had trouble using it. She stated that he finally took one of the two stones out of the silver frame and used it as a seer stone. It might have been one he used to translate some of the Book of Mormon and perhaps carried with him until he had to give the plates and the translators back to the angel Moroni. The Authors' suggestion that Mosiah II had a separate pair of seer stones from the ones he received that descended from the Brother of Jared is, in my opinion, kind of weak. Good book. Well documented research on a topic about which very little was written at the time.

July 2001
The Humpback's population fell by an estimated 90% before a whaling moratorium was introduced in 1966. Creative Commons: Michael Dawes
Note: Because some of the information in this article may be outdated, it has been archived.
At the dawn of the new millennium a series of emerging threats endanger the survival of the great whales according to a report released by WWF, the conservation organization.
The report, Wanted Alive! Whales in the Wild, says that seven of the thirteen great whale species remain endangered or vulnerable despite decades of protection. Alarm is now growing over other sometimes hidden hazards that could put more species of whales on the endangered list.
"Whales are falling prey to new and ever-increasing dangers," said Elizabeth Kemf, WWF's Species Conservation Information Manager and co-author of the report. "They are:
- killed or maimed during ship collisions
- menaced by toxic contamination
- entangled in fishing gear
- [threatened by] intensive oil and gas development in feeding grounds
- [vulnerable to] the effects of climate change and habitat degradation.
Pollution impacts
Evidence is growing that industrial chemicals and pesticide run-offs are potentially one of the gravest threats to the whales' survival. According to the latest research, baleen whales are increasingly affected by chemicals accumulating in their blubber, which slowly release into their milk when they migrate to winter calving grounds.
These often invisible risks are becoming apparent at a time when whales are still struggling to recover from the years of overhunting that drove many species to the brink of extinction. The Atlantic population of gray whales actually became extinct, and the Eastern North Atlantic right whale population was so severely depleted that it is on the verge of disappearing from the planet. Scientists estimate the critically endangered Western North Pacific gray whale numbers at between 100 to 200 animals. Other cetaceans, including dolphins and porpoises, have also dropped to critically low levels.
Hunting impacts
Whale hunting is also still continuing, despite the declaration of a moratorium on commercial whaling by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in 1985-86. "If whaling cannot be ended or brought under very tight international regulation, it remains a potentially serious danger for the remaining whales, together with all the other mounting threats," said Cassandra Phillips, WWF's Senior Policy Adviser on whales and Antarctica and co-author of the report. Each year over 1,000 whales are still being hunted for the commercial market, and since the moratorium came into effect, some 21,573 whales have been killed as of April this year.
Whale Watching: a solution?
WWF is encouraging carefully controlled whale watching as an economically beneficial alternative to hunting. In 2000 it attracted some nine million enthusiasts in 87 countries, and generated a record-breaking US$1billion in revenue. The income earned by the industry has doubled in only six years. In Iceland, whale-watching passenger numbers have grown from just 100 in 1991 to 44,000 in 2000. "Recent analysis suggests that the economic value to the Icelandic economy of whale watching may now exceed what would be gained if Iceland resumed commercial whaling," added Mrs. Phillips.
A call to action
The WWF report also calls for a number of actions to be taken to protect whales. These measures should include:
- reducing marine pollution, establishing international control over the management of whaling
- ending the abuse of scientific whaling and whaling with factory ships on the high seas
- maintaining the ban on the international trade in whale meat
- and creating more whale sanctuaries and marine protected areas
Editor's Note, January 2007:
Whale hunting is again making headlines around the world. A renewed threat from "scientific whaling" has received criticism in the recent media and some conservation organizations are making appeals to ban this type of exploitation of endangered and threatened species.

My sincere apologies to the few—but deeply committed—followers of this blog. It has been ages since my last post (a Cardinal sin, I know). What can I say? The folding of Gourmet during the Recession broke my heart, and with it, my passion for pickle girl slipped a recession of its own.
Since that October, I've kept busy by having a baby, renovating a historic brownstone (still happening), and becoming a publisher at a revolutionary media company.
In the meantime, there have been so many near-comebacks: I practically jumped off the couch when Portlandia made pickles pop culture; the book offers and almost-deals were a thrill, too; and the emails from readers all over the world melted me. Who knew there were so many of you? (Mom, you're not alone.)
But it took a night of serious drinking to reignite my fire.
In the buzz of a rare evening out, I was stupefied to learn that--a mere block from my office--April Bloomfield's liquid gold is the ultimate whiskey chaser. The Pickleback is the house drink at The Ace, and three of these had me scheming with colleagues to resurrect the pickle love.
Stay tuned for a redesign, more original recipes, and updated, recurring columns such as, PicklePassport, Pickles in the News, and Chef Recipes.
Back to brine!

Atlas Copco will for the first time show the world's first mobile raiseboring drill rig at the MINExpo in Las Vegas on September 26, 2016. Easer L drill rig is set to save massive amounts of time in underground mines and tunnels, while delivering superior drilling performance.
Easer, the Atlas Copco mobile raiseboring rig, operates in the same way as a traditional raiseborer, drilling both upwards and downwards, but can be easily moved to wherever it is needed in the mine. The rig is wheel mounted, making it exceptionally easy to move, and for fast and easy set-up, no concrete platform or site preparation is necessary.
Mobility underground
Atlas Copco's Easer L raiseboring rig makes life easier underground. The first mobile raiseboring drill rig of its kind, Easer L provides unprecedented levels of mobility, efficiency and safety.
Raisebore machines, which drill openings between two separate levels of a mine or tunnel, traditionally require a lot of preliminary work before drilling begins. Easer L is about to change that.
Easer L can drill both upwards and downwards, like a traditional raiseboring rig.
Saving time - and money
With the average raiseboring rig, set-up time accounts for around 50% of the total work hours. Eliminating the extra set-up and teardown means more time spent on production.
"The Easer is unlike anything used in the industry before. It requires no site preparation, no concrete foundation or pin," says Atlas Copco Australia Product Manager Nick Iser. "All equipment – including electrical cables, hydraulic hoses, and air and water supply hoses – are part of the carrier."

International Studies
Welcome to the International Studies Program
The issues facing us today are increasingly global in nature. The context in which we lead our professional and personal lives is steadily becoming more multicultural and global in scope, demanding new levels of international knowledge - knowledge beyond just geography, a few phrases of a foreign language, and a guide book.

text: 09 Jun 2013 07:30 Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has donated the proceeds of its charity fun run marathon, held last month as part of the airline's ten-year anniversary celebrations, to the Abu Dhabi Centre for Autism. The donation was used to fund a special vocational arts and crafts workshop to develop the children's abilities and provide them with the technical skills needed to become contributing members of society. Etihad Airways also donated a substantial number of iPads to the centre to be used as teaching aids for the "Al Zohour" group, comprised of children with high functioning autism. The iPads will be loaded with various programs and applications used by the centre to develop the children's skills and abilities. This is the second time Etihad Airways has donated iPads to the centre as the devices have proven to be successful educational tools. Khaled Al Mehairbi, the airline's Senior Vice President of Government and Aero Political Affairs and Chairman of its Sports and Social Committee said: "Etihad Airways is committed to active participation in causes that assist people and communities across its global network and especially in its home base of Abu Dhabi. "Every child deserves the best education possible and we are pleased to play a vital role in the development and training of autistic children, and ultimately in their integration into society." H.E Mohamed Fadel Al Hamli, Deputy Chairman and Secretary-General of the Zayed Higher Organization for Humanitarian Care and Special Needs, said: "I would like to extend our appreciation to Etihad Airways for its generous initiative in providing funds, iPads and other electronic equipment that will enable the centre to continue providing rehabilitative care and vocational training to children with autism. "Etihad Airways has always been generous in supporting special needs institutes like the Abu Dhabi Autism Centre and we hope to continue working closely in the future." The Abu Dhabi Autism Centre was established in 2002 as part of the Zayed Higher Organization for Humanitarian Care and Special Needs and aims to provide psychiatric and educational services to children with autism and helps integrate them in the community. お問い合わせ エティハド航空は国際的な航空会社として、徐々に世界にネットワークを広げています。 お近くのエティハド航空への連絡方法は、こちらをご覧ください。お問い合わせ先を見る ご意見・ご要望 ご意見・ご感想、激励、苦情、ご質問などがございましたら、こちらをクリックして、入力フォームからご送信ください。 いいね! フェイスブックで弊社のページをご覧ください! ご覧ください エティハドの YouTube チャンネルを見る Twitter(ツイッター) エティハド航空 | エティハドの特典 | エティハドヘルプ | エティハドのリワード

We need people who are willing to open their hearts and homes to shelter animals with a life-limiting terminal illness.
Fospice parents offer homeless animals the opportunity to live out their lives in a loving home. They need to be able to get the animal to us within 30 minutes, if necessary. And they need to be comfortable working with us to determine the animal's quality of life and when the time has come to say goodbye. We provide food, medications and 24-hour support. This is the chance to give a shelter animal the greatest gift of all—a loving home at the end of its life.
If you're an animal lover interested in providing love, nourishment and heaps of TLC to animals at their end of life, click here for more info!
There are no animals available for Fospice at this time.

OXON HILL, Maryland (Reuters) - The Republican Party heard contrasting messages on Thursday about how to recover from last year's election defeats as two possible contenders for the next presidential campaign in 2016 brandished their conservative credentials.
Addressing a high-profile conference of party activists, Florida Senator Marco Rubio laid out a traditional social conservative agenda and criticized same-sex marriage.
Senator Rand Paul urged Republicans to embrace libertarianism and warned that the "moss-covered" party was turning off young voters who want to decriminalize marijuana.
Son of three-time White House candidate Ron Paul, the Kentucky senator is seen by old-guard Republicans like Senator John McCain as an unstable nonconformist on domestic issues and too isolationist on foreign policy.
Fiscal conservative Rubio is closer to the Republican establishment, which is eager to flaunt his Hispanic credentials to help win back Latino voters who overwhelmingly picked President Barack Obama over Republican Mitt Romney in November's election.
Rubio threw red meat to the Conservative Political Action Conference held just south of Washington, an annual gathering where the party often sizes up early presidential hopefuls.
"Just because I believe that states should have the right to define marriage in the traditional way does not make me a bigot. Just because we believe that life - all life, all human life - is worthy of protection at every stage of its development does not make you a chauvinist," the 41-year-old Cuban-American said.
Perhaps concerned about adverse reaction from conservatives, Rubio did not highlight the issue with which he is most associated in Washington: immigration reform.
The Florida lawmaker is one of eight senators from both parties who are working on legislation that could eventually give the 11 million illegal immigrants in the country a path to citizenship, something opposed by many on the right wing of the Republican Party.
In his speech, Rubio said the families were under threat from same-sex marriage and jokingly described liberals are "freeloaders."
"Do not underestimate, I know this movement does not, the impact that the breakdown of the American family is having on our people and our long-term future," Rubio said.
Speaking directly after his Senate colleague, Paul took a swipe at older Republicans.
"The GOP of old has grown stale and moss-covered. I don't think we need to name any names, do we? Our party is encumbered by an inconsistent approach to freedom," Paul said.
That may have been a jab at McCain, who called Paul, 50, a "wacko bird" for talking almost 13 hours nonstop in the Senate last week. McCain, 76, lost to Obama in the 2008 presidential election.
Paul was using a procedure known as a filibuster to disrupt the confirmation process for Obama's new CIA director, John Brennan, and raise questions about the administration's ground rules for using drones in the United States.
In the kind of comment that won large youth support for his father during last year's presidential campaign, Paul told Republicans on Thursday not to lose the young.
"Ask the Facebook generation whether we should put a kid in jail for a non-violent crime of drug use and you'll hear a resounding, 'No,'" he said. "Ask the Facebook generation if they want to bail out too-big-to-fail banks with their tax dollars and you'll hear a 'Hell, no.'"
Judging by the popularity of bright red T-shirts and stickers bearing his name, Paul won the affection of young activists who turn the three-day event into a conservative spring break.
They have taken "Stand with Rand" as their mantra, following his filibuster last week. Many chose to stand throughout Paul's 19-minute speech on Thursday.
"I'm a longtime supporter of Ron Paul, and Rand Paul is a continuation of a movement that Ron Paul started," said Aaron Rainwater, 23, of Arlington, Virginia.
The senior Paul's presidential runs failed to win over mainstream Republicans, something the younger Paul's supporters believe the freshman senator is capable of doing.
"He's his father's son in the best sense possible, but not his father's son in the best political sense," Rainwater said.
It is more than 1,300 days until voters cast their ballots for the next president, but the thousands who traveled to the CPAC conference were already casting their mind toward 2016.
"We are defined by how quickly we pull ourselves off the mat," former Florida Representative Allen West told the audience.
In its 40th year, the conference, like the party it is trying to re-energize, is currently an ideological muddle.
In non-election years, attendees have shown a bent for backing the likes of Ron Paul and evangelical leader Gary Bauer in its annual straw poll. The result of this year's poll will be announced on Saturday.
Outside Washington, a handful of governors have also captured the affection of party activists.
Among them are Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Scott Walker of Wisconsin, who are both attending CPAC this week and have raised their profiles by distinguishing between carrying out conservative reforms in their states and the gridlock in Washington.
Some senior Republicans are noticeable by their absence from this year's conference, organized by the American Conservative Union.
New Jersey's Chris Christie, a Republican governor in a Democratic-dominated state, was not invited despite having one of the highest approval ratings in the country.
Christie upset some Republicans by praising Obama's handling of the disastrous effects of Superstorm Sandy, which slammed New York and New Jersey just days before the election.
Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell will also not attend this year. He ruffled Republicans' feathers by signing a transportation bill that included a tax hike.
Conservatives looking to put the Romney campaign behind them have one obstacle this week: Romney himself, who is scheduled to address the CPAC audience on Saturday.

LOUISVILLE, Miss. — Ilene Estes sorted through the rubble atop a concrete slab here that used to be her home of 46 years. Like thousands of others in the South whose homes and lives have been devastated by a series of deadly tornadoes this week, she was stunned and weary. Even in parts of the country where tornadoes are commonplace, when they directly hit your street, they are uncommon terrors, their savagery discovered as if for the first time.
"This just isn't the kind of thing we've ever experienced," said Ms. Estes, 74. "We have had storms in the rural areas around us, so we know what they can do, but I never could have imagined it would happen to us. I've always seen those kinds of things on TV, but never in person."
Every year, people in the southern and central United States brace for tornado season in a ritual of preparation and anticipation, much as Floridians are used to hurricanes and Californians are accustomed to earthquakes. Those who live in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and other parts of the South prone to violent tornadoes even have a name for the region: Dixie Alley, a smaller counterpart to the more famous Tornado Alley, which includes parts of Oklahoma and Kansas.
But in the aftermath of a series of tornadoes throughout the South and Midwest that have left at least 35 people dead and thousands of homes and businesses destroyed since Sunday, the reality has become painfully clear: No one, even in Dixie Alley, gets used to it. Nothing is routine, and nothing can be taken for granted, even safe rooms. In Mayflower and Vilonia, two of the hardest-hit towns in Arkansas, at least three people appeared to have been killed in safe rooms in their homes, including a 72-year-old woman who died after debris tore through the door of her room.
Ms. Estes and her husband survived, but not at home: They drove to the community storm shelter at the Winston County, Miss., courthouse. Their daughter, Cherie Bell, who lives an hour away in Columbus, had been watching the storm coverage on television and called to warn them. Ms. Estes said the phone call had probably saved their lives. She and her husband had been watching the storm coverage, too, but kept losing reception on their television.
"I am just so thankful that Cherie called us, and we were able to get out of harm's way," she said. "If we hadn't left, I'm not sure we would have made it. We knew there was a storm coming, but we had no idea how big it was."
After killing at least 15 people in Arkansas on Sunday, the violent storm system moved east and struck parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee on Monday, killing at least 17 people. The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said 12 people had died there. Fatalities have also been reported in Iowa and Oklahoma.
At least nine of the deaths in Mississippi were in Winston County, which includes Louisville and is about 95 miles south of Tupelo. Eight of those deaths were in Louisville, an industrial town of about 7,000 known for its steel-lift manufacturing plant and lumber facilities.
A String of Violent Storms Across the South and Midwest
Severe weather across the country affected states from Michigan to Florida.
"To see the destruction here, for the fatality number to be as low as it is, it's truly amazing," said Will Hill, the mayor of Louisville. "We had people sign into the courthouse's shelter, so the number of just how many people were actually there will be coming out in the days ahead. I actually was at the courthouse right when the storm was over, and it was packed."
Brian Corbett, a spokesman for Alabama's emergency management agency, said it had confirmed three deaths — two in Limestone County and one in Tuscaloosa County — but was seeing reports of additional fatalities. The University of Alabama said that one of the dead was a student, John Servati, a member of its swim team.
In Mississippi, even as Ms. Estes and other residents of Louisville sorted through the rubble on Tuesday, there was already talk of rebuilding. Nobody discussed moving away. The towns that are prone to tornadoes are the same towns where people have spent generations raising their families.
"I haven't had much time to think about it, but I guess we will rebuild on this same property," said Zenita Allen as she stood at the edge of her destroyed home.

Ms. Allen, 65, said she had been in her bedroom on Monday when she noticed that the strong wind and rain that been blowing through had stopped. Then she heard a low, rumbling noise. She ran into the kitchen to turn off the stove. Part of a tree broke through a window and landed near her. She crouched under the bar in the kitchen, while her husband took cover in a bathroom behind the house. He had to hold up one wall to prevent it from caving in on him.
Still, Ms. Allen spoke of staying put as she picked through the destruction. "Now that we have gone through something like this, we'll know what could happen," she said. "And I know we'll take certain things into consideration, like a storm cellar."
No one who lives in a place that has been hit by tornadoes before believes they will be next. Tornadoes are localized events, and even the worst affect specific streets and neighborhoods, surrounded by larger areas that go untouched.
Harold Brooks, a senior research scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Okla., said people tended to develop a sense of "place-based danger" about tornadoes.
"When my wife and I moved here in 1990, there was a lady who was probably 90 years old and lived across the street from us," said Mr. Brooks, who lives in Norman. "We realized if she had lived in that house all her life and looked only out her front door, she would never have seen a significant tornado her entire life. And she lived near the most tornado-prone place on the planet. If she'd looked out the back, she would have seen one — in 1949."
