- Print Article
U.S. stocks edged higher Wednesday as Apple (AAPL) shares led gains the day after the tech giant posted better-than-expected earnings results, while and upbeat economic news from Europe boosted sentiment.
About 30 minutes before the opening bell, futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 32 points, or 0.2% to 15,545.
S&P 500 stock index futures rose six points, or 0.33% to 1,694 and the Nasdaq 100 futures rose almost 29 points, or 1% to 3,055.
The tech sector will be in the spotlight, boosted by Apple, up 4.8% at $439.26 in premarket trade. Still, it will be another busy day for earnings, with the likes of Boeing (BA) and Facebook (FB) tapped to release quarterly financial results.
Within the Dow, heavy equipment maker Catepillar (CAT) fell 1.5% to $84.22 after it published disappointing second-quarter earnings. That followed a disappointing earnings report yesterday from AT&T (T).
PepsiCo (PEP) beat expectations, rising 0.5%. Activist shareholder Neslon Peltz wants the beverage and snack food giant to merge with Mondelez International (MDLZ).
European markets were broadly higher, with the Stoxx Europe 600 up 0.9%, after data showing the euro zone economy may be coming out of recession.
Asian markets were mostly lower, with China's Shanghai Composite slipping 0.5% in response to disappointing economic news. Front-month September oil futures eased 0.1% to $107.16 a barrel, while July gold futures tacked on 0.4% to $1,341 an ounce. The dollar edged higher against the yen but lost ground against the euro.
On Tuesday, stock indexes finished with mixed results. The Dow closed at a new record high, while the S&P 500 snapped a four day winning streak.
In U.S. economic news, June new-home sales data is due at 10:00 a.m. ET.
In other corporate news: T. Rowe Price's (TROW) fell 5.7% to $75 after second-quarter profit rose 20% as money manager logged strong investment advisory fees, though results missed analyst estimates
Ford (F) rallied after the automaker reported better-than-expected second-quarter earnings and revenue amid increased demand for trucks and strength in its Asia-Pacific business.
Maidenform (MFB) surged 22% to $23.28 after the intimate-apparel company agreed to be acquired by HanesBrands (HBI) in a $575 million cash deal. HanesBrands' stock advanced 3%.

It seems actor Sean Penn is still upset about the fact that so much of his performance in "The Tree of Life" was left on the cutting room floor. I guess he and Adrian Brody can drown their woes in a few down at the pub. Said the actor to French magazine Le Figaro:
I didn't at all find on the screen the emotion of the script, which is the most magnificent one that I've ever read. A clearer and more conventional narrative would have helped the film without, in my opinion, lessening its beauty and its impact. Frankly, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing there and what I was supposed to add in that context! What's more, Terry himself never managed to explain it to me clearly.
The thing is, I don't entirely disagree with him. The bookend nature of his role is the weaker element of the film, particularly the reprise at the end. But I do think the early stuff works because it's a brilliant, human lead-in to the film's central question: "Why hast thou forsaken me?" Penn asking the almighty "Where were you" when his character's brother died leads to the film's extended cosmos sequence, and that is key, something I dug into when I wrote about the film at length in May.
I don't doubt Penn's sincerity but I also can't help but sense some irritation over the fact that his role was significantly diminished, a complaint we've certainly heard before. But as a two-timer with Malick now, surely Penn understands as much as anyone that when you sign up to work with the maestro, you're taking the risk that your work will be slashed and positioned to the director's will.
I haven't read the original script so I can't speak to what was on the page, but we all know Malick is a master of imagery and whatever is on the page is merely a vague road map for his vision. As Richard Brody quotes Fritz Lang in "Contempt" at The New Yorker: "In the script it is written, and on the screen it's pictures."

BOSTON - When the Museum of Fine Arts acquired an ancient Greek drinking cup painted with the image of a man relieving himself, it was considered too inappropriate to display.
Nearly 110 years later, the cup, made in Athens around 500 B.C., is one of the most intimate, and definitely the bawdiest, item in the museum's new Gallery of Daily Life in Ancient Greece.
"You see this (the squatting man) when you finish your wine and you might wonder why this is appropriate," said Christine Kondoleon, the museum's senior curator of Greek and Roman art. "It's a message to moderate your drinking and would be seen as sort of funny."
Other painted ceramics show people mourning a loved one, sending a son off to war, nursing a baby, fighting, competing and playing games. Together, the 250 objects signal the fundamental connection among human beings, even those separated by 2,500 years.
Kondoleon said she tried to bring out the meaning of the images Greeks painted on drinking cups, oil flasks, water and storage jars, pitchers and bowls. She also chose many terra cotta and bronze figurines engaged in a variety of activities. The pieces, which date from the 9th century B.C. to the 3rd century A.D., seem remarkably undamaged by time.
"We selected works with the hope that they would give visitors a relatable view into ancient Greek society and culture," Kondoleon said. "And that they would raise questions for visitors."
To that end, the display cases are organized by theme: family, livelihood, athletics, war and remembrance.
In a display expected to appeal to children and school groups, there's a spinning top, tiny dice and a figurine of two girls playing knucklebones, similar to today's jacks. Painted on pitchers, children play with birds and dogs.
Along with raising children, women were primarily responsible for spinning and weaving the wool used for clothing. On an oil flask, an elegantly dressed and bejeweled woman pulls a long skein of wool from her basket, in preparation for spinning. The weaving process is depicted in stone loom weights and a graphic.
Unlike males, females were always depicted clothed, and one section shows three styles of dress that reflected different statuses. Another features mirrors, perfume vessels and other beautification aids.
Males were athletes, but music also was part of their training. On vessels, young athletes receive a music lesson and jump to the music of a flute player.
As host to the first Olympic games, Athens had many athletes who were honored as embodiments of excellence. On view is a statuette discus thrower and a 15-pound stone disc, one of only three to survive from antiquity.
Other figurines – many created to accompany the dead in their graves – show Greeks at work: a barber, a shoemaker, a baker, a cheese-maker, a farmer and a fisherman. A display of fishing hooks and net-repair tools reveals their similarity to those used today, and fish were often painted onto ceramics.
Some of the most revealing items depict scenes: on a two-handled jar from about 500 B.C., a cobbler fits a shoe for a young female who stands on a table while a white-bearded man leans on his cane and gestures.
A bridal procession scene completely covers a large water vessel for the prenuptial bath. On a touch screen, visitors can see enlargements of each figure and try to guess the roles of each member of the the bridal party.
Along with celebration, there was suffering. The ancient Greeks were at war almost constantly, and it's estimated that one-third of the men in Athens died from battle and plague between 430 and 426 B.C. Helmets, swords and shields are displayed, as well as figurines on horseback and vessels painted with poignant departure and combat scenes.
As in other cultures, burial and remembrance of the dead were profound responsibilities. There were many rituals for honoring the deceased and easing passage of the soul.
A water jar for ritual baths for the deceased depicts women tearing at their hair. Other gestures of mourning can be seen in a female statuette and a funeral plaque, on which women raise both hands to their heads. In the painting on the plaque, the body lies wrapped in a black blanket on a couch attended by women in black garments. Three flying birds signify good passage, and a mythological winged creature laments the dead.
This new permanent ancient Greece gallery – created out of a storage area – complements the Gallery of Wine, Poets and Performance, which opened in 2014. It also provides a context for the adjacent gallery of Ancient Coins, which features 500 coins and highlights their role in trade, art and portraiture.
The Gallery of Daily Life in Ancient Greece is a culmination of an 18-month project by Museum of Fine Arts' conservators to evaluate, research and restore objects in the ancient Greece collection, for which the museum is renowned.

If it helps to visualize it, the nutrient management plan (NMP) can be arranged along three tracks: the "three P's" of plan, performance and protection.
1. The "plan" part is what it says: the manure your animals produce, how you will collect, store and land-apply it, and how you will match the plant fertilizer in the manure to your cropping system's needs.
2. "Performance" is records of what actually happened. This includes manure and soil sample analyses, hauling records, inspections of storages and equipment, etc.
3. An emergency response plan is the "protection" part of your plan. There are several good emergency response plan templates available to producers, but remember that every farm is different; your farm needs its own customized emergency response plan. Expand the emergency response plan to include emergencies beyond just the obvious liquid manure spills. Involve employees and managers as you build this part of the plan. Think through possible emergency scenarios and the resources and actions needed for each. The emergency response plan gives you a level of protection against the "show-stoppers" — those accidents, mishaps, quirks of the weather or other scenarios that, without anticipation and foresight, can put you out of business.

DHEA is a substance produced by the adrenal glands, brain, skin, and other tissues. From it the body makes various hormones, including testosterone. The body's DHEA production peaks at puberty in women and at about age 20 in men, then decreases with age. A shortage of DHEA can therefore result in shortages of other hormones, some of which are important regulators of processes in the body.
Studies of DHEA have found evidence to support such uses as:
Studies in humans and other mammals suggest other possible uses for DHEA:
LifeLink's DHEA is micronized to improve absorption. The bioavailability may be further improved by combining it with a dose of piperine (Bioperine®).
Read DHEA Monograph
DHEA is a substance produced by the adrenal glands, brain, skin, and other tissues. From it the body makes various hormones, including testosterone and estradiol. The body's DHEA production peaks at puberty in women and at about age 20 in men, then decreases with age.1
In the U.S. and some other industrialized countries, government agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have adopted censorship as a method for intensifying their control over the supplement industry and its customers. Thus, FDA regulations prohibit us from telling you that any of our products are effective as medical treatments, even if they are, in fact, effective.
Accordingly, we will limit our discussion of DHEA to a brief summary of recent DHEA research, and let you draw your own conclusions about what medical conditions it may be effective in treating.
For general information about DHEA see the reviews by Thorne,1 Binello,2 Saad,3 Legrain,4 Labrie/Luu,5, and Bovenberg.6
Let's take a brief look at what researchers have reported about DHEA's potential medical uses. (For more details, see Zarkov's original article.)
In a small clinical trial in 1988, healthy men consumed 1600 mg/day of DHEA for 28 days. The astonishing result was an average loss of bodyfat of 31%, and a corresponding increase in muscle mass. Two other small studies at the same dosage7,8 showed no such improvements. The discrepancies between these three studies has never been explained, but could have involved the formulations used, or dietary, genetic, or other differences between the groups of subjects.
All later studies of the effects of DHEA on fat and muscle used far lower doses than the 1988 study and had less dramatic results (some positive,9,10 some null).
DHEA supplementation reduces the lipodystrophy caused by HIV drugs,11 and it lowers circulating cortisol levels.12 (The hormone cortisol promotes the storage of visceral fat — the fat that surrounds the digestive tract and can cause the belly to protrude.11)
In patients with impaired adrenal glands, DHEA supplementation elevates the body's production of testosterone and estrogens.13,14,15,16,17
Age-related declines in DHEA levels can be corrected with DHEA dosages of about 50 mg/day for women, 100 mg/day for men.18 Higher doses may be required for other purposes. Age-related declines in estrogens and testosterone can sometimes be corrected by DHEA supplementation. Low-dose studies in subjects 40-70 years of age showed that 50 mg/day restored estrogen and testosterone to youthful levels in women, and restored estrogen levels (but not testosterone) in men. Both sexes experienced an increase in the tissue-building hormone 'IGF-1' (insulin-like growth factor) and "a remarkable increase in perceived physical and psychological well-being".9 Testosterone levels in elderly men increased 46% with 6 months of DHEA supplementation at 50 mg/day.19
In a 2006 study of HIV patients with testosterone deficiencies, 100-400 mg/day of DHEA resulted in significant increases in testosterone and other steroid hormone levels.20
In their 1988 paper, Nestler, et al., reported that oral doses of 1600 mg/day of DHEA caused LDL levels to fall by 7.5% in 4 weeks.21 Later studies showed lesser effects, but most of these studies used doses of only 20 to 100 mg/day. The last word is not yet in — some reviewers now consider DHEA to be of proven benefit to the cardiovascular system.3
Cortisol levels (which correlate with heart disease) can be reduced in both sexes by DHEA supplementation at 200 mg/day.12 Indirect evidence even suggests that DHEA may lower the incidence of atherosclerosis.22
DHEA treatment appears to inhibit cancers of the breast,23,24,25 prostate,26 colon, liver, and skin.1 Most of the evidence comes from animal experiments — few clinical studies have addressed the issue in humans.
Does DHEA supplementation increase the size and strength of muscles? The answer will probably be "no" if you ask sports nutritionists,27 War-On-Drugs supporters, or the physicians' lobby. But it will probably be "yes" if you ask medical researchers fortunuate enough to have funding sources and social environments that allow them to study the matter objectively.
Most research into DHEA's muscle-building capabilities has been done in elderly subjects. In a 1994 study, 50 mg/day of DHEA for six months resulted in a 16% increase in blood levels of the hormone IGF-1 in men, and a 31% increase in women. (IGF-1 is a tissue-building hormone that promotes muscle growth.) Another study at the same dosage showed increases in IGF-1 of 32% and muscular increases of about 2.5%.19
At 100 mg/day DHEA increased muscular strength in men by 15%.10 Nestler's 1988 study reported a significant increase in muscle mass in men taking 1600 mg/day.21
In elderly women and men, bone density increases were seen with DHEA supplementation at 50 mg/day.3,28,19,29,30,31 A 2000 study, for example, showed 1.6-2.5% increases in bone mineral density after six months of DHEA usage.19 Even at 25 mg/day, significant reductions in joint pain occurred in men.32
When DHEA was applied to the buttock skin of volunteers 12 times during 4 weeks it promoted the synthesis of procollagen and protein, suggesting that DHEA could be an anti-aging agent for skin.33 Improvement in skin pigmentation took place in elderly women given DHEA at 50 mg/day.28
DHEA levels correlate strongly with protection against chronic venous ulceration in humans.34 DHEA accelerates healing in wounded mouse skin.34
No clinical studies have tried to determine whether longevity is increased by DHEA use. But if DHEA ameliorates killer-diseases (such as heart disease and cancer), then it is logical to expect an increase in longevity.
DHEA supplementation at 200-500 mg/day significantly reduced fatigue in HIV patients.35 It had a similar effect in non-HIV subjects,36,32 and produced an increase in stamina in women with androgen deficiency.37
DHEA protects mice from viral, bacterial and parasitic infections by enhancing immunity.38 Immunity enhancement has also been been reported in humans.3 In a 20-week experiment, men in their 60s who were given 50 mg/day of DHEA saw major increases in measures of immunity.39
Although significant cognitive benefits have been seen in animal studies of DHEA, most human studies have produced null results40. However, patients with advanced HIV disease experienced significant improvement in cognition when they were given 50 mg/day of DHEA for 4 months.41
When people with midlife-onset depression were given DHEA (3 weeks at 90 mg/day followed by 3 weeks at 450 mg/day), half of the patients achieved a 50% reduction in depression score.42 In depressed schizophrenic patients, DHEA at 100 mg/day improved depression and anxiety.43 Dosages of DHEA in the range of 100-500 mg/day resulted in improved mood and less depression in HIV patients.35,6
Women with low hormone levels experienced higher alertness, stamina, and initiative after using DHEA.37 In aging men with low androgen levels, 25 mg/day of DHEA caused a "progressive improvement in mood".32
At 200 mg/day, DHEA reduced the incidence of lupus flares.44 Other studies have shown similar results.45,46
In menopausal women DHEA has been reported to reduce vasomotor symptoms, increase sexual arousal, and improve cognitive performance.47
Clinical trials have shown that DHEA supplementation improves libido and other sexual functions in elderly women,28 men and women with sexual dysfunction,3 and younger men and women with hormone deficiencies.48,37,14 DHEA also decreases erectile dysfunction.49
DHEA supplementation at 80 mg/day improved lackluster responses to ovarian stimulation.50
Studies in humans, monkeys, and rodents suggest other possible uses for DHEA:
Because its areas of application are so broad, DHEA is used by many people for general health.
LifeLink's DHEA is micronized to improve absorption. A dose of piperine (Bioperine®) taken with, or up to an hour before, a DHEA dose may further improve bioavailability.
Are DHEA supplements useful for the conditions and purposes mentioned above? We aren't allowed to tell you, so you should
take a look at some of the references cited here, and then decide for yourself.

Fitness - instructor, Coach, GYM Joomla Template
Without writing a single string of code, build your fitness, Joomla instruct, Coach, GYM Template pagebuilder Quix
Easy to get started with 3 simple steps
I did a lot of research before selecting a template provider, looking hard at all the usual suspects and finally chose ThemeXpert. I've been with them for a couple of months now and I'm very happy with my decision. The Expose Framework is fantastic and the templates are great. Lots of other very well done extensions, as well, such as Xpert Slider, Xpert Tabs, Xpert Tweets, etc. Having access to multiple templates and the Quickstart setup to replicate the Live Demo sites has been invaluable when trying to figure something out – it's great to have examples. Then there's the Support. These guys are really amazing how quickly and thoroughly they respond to questions on the forum and resolve support tickets. I've also been impressed with how quickly new templates and updates are released, as well as site improvements like the updates tracker
Jim Sparkman
Founder, afxMedia LLC
This is the first template I have purchased from Themexpert and I will definitely purchase from them again. Being unfamiliar with their template engine I had a few issues but the support was quick, efficient and friendly. Lovely template, great service!
Janey Cramer
Owner, Muse Web
I have looked and tried many other joomla themes that came with good extensions along with customizing capabilities. I was just gong to hire someone to get the look I wanted, but I found StreamX theme by Themexpert. I found it exactly what I needed with just the right extesnions that work how they said and the module positions are perfect. I was hooked! There support is far superiour than any other. I opened a ticket on Sunday early morning expecting a response in Monday but Parvez replied to my ticket on his vacation day and made sure my issue was fixed. When comes to Joomla themes there is no one else I will work with.
Guy Stubbe
C.E.O, FMO Monthly
At iJoomla.com, we've been looking a responsive template that looks great, easy to configure, uses bootstrap and is super light! We found all this in the expose framework. We are utterly impressed with this template, the code, the CSS, the backend settings and more and we will be using it on over 15 iJoomla sites on iJoomla.com. This framework makes our lives so much easier, we love it! The developer has been great to work with, very responsive and open for feedback. Highly recommended!
Mefav Knafo
CEO, iJoomla
I have used virtually every Joomla! template framework available and I find Expose to be the best in the industry. The attractive and easy to use backend administration is what drew me in, but the incredibly clean and easy to modify code base is what sealed the deal. Ever since I first started using Expose I have spent most of my free time contributing ideas and code back into the framework. Expose will dramatically speed up your development time and give you options you never had before… and there is a LOT more coming!
Jonathan Shroyer
Owner, Design Innovations
I started with Joomla in 2007 and spent way too much time on templates, design and layout. I have tried a variety of 'easy' and 'quality' templates and template builders over the years and always felt I had just wasted my money. Since discovering Themexpert, smooth and stylish templates, 100% responsive, and fast and easy to customize, are now a breeze. My clients are happy and I'm impressed. The support is great, any issues are resolved in a timely manner.

Key word "trying".
Jets: OK, LaRon, here is 3 years 12.5 million. What do you say?
LaRon: No
Jets: We tried.
Take it with a grain of salt considering who is reporting it.....
Jets safety LaRon Landry will become an unrestricted free agent in March. the hard hitting safety had a good year and played all 16 games in 2012 for the first time in four years.
The capped strapped Jets have had discussions and had made it known they are trying to sign Landry, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
Landry has been said to be seeking at least $6 million per year.
Key word "trying".
Jets: OK, LaRon, here is 3 years 12.5 million. What do you say?
LaRon: No
Jets: We tried.
Given Laron's injury history, I'm guessing the stumbling block might be guarantees/injury clause rather that the total contract amount.
He looked good to the naked eye but a lot of the statistical analyses don't hold him in as high an esteem. Personally, I don't put too much stock in those analyses for a safety, but while we remember the big hits (and they certainly have real value), its more important that he is in proper position to make the ordinary play - something that he may not have been as competent at.
Hopefully they can come to a reasonable agreement but we obviously can't hamstring ourselves over one player. If another team is willing to pay significantly more let him go there.

If the market dictates $5m a year then I would definitely look at a contract that has injury clauses for him. But if he does go somewhere else, then there will be players that will love to make $5m at the safety spot. Byrd for Buffalo is a solid safety with cover skills and so to is Moore out of the ATL.
LaRon was a good investment last season. But he's as good as gone.
Only if he was moving into Bell's place at SS where he succeeded at in Washington. He's not a FS. He was a major liability in pass coverage as our previous FS. He's a very good SS, and if they can get him for the right price it would be a nice thing to keep him, but FS must be manned by a draft pick or Antonio Allen or Josh Bush.
in idzik we trust. landry for the right price is a no brainer.
Don't think he's worth more than $4 million next year +cuttable out-years. I liked the reports that the Jets want Quin out of Houston.
Agree that Landry could be a force at Yeremiah Bell's spot with a rangy, cover-safety type on the other side of the field. But not at the price he'll command.
Starting to think the safeties on the roster next year will be: Bell, Allen, Bush, and someone like Duke Williams, T.J. McDonald, Cyprien, or Earl Wolff in the middle rounds. Which I'd be okay, but not thrilled with.
Since I am down here in Fla, can one of you guys do me a solid and next time you run into Manish*thead punch him in the crotchal region?
This dude is a heaping pile and needs to be knocked the f*ck out!
Jets absolutely have to resign Landry if they trade Revis. Otherwise our secondary will be the worst in the NFL next yr.

Seen On The Run
First time I'd ever seen this . . . two fawns nursing. They just stood there as I ran 2o yards by them and didn't even budge. Pretty cool.

As a follow-up to Jason Kuznicki's post from January, I am pleased to report that yesterday Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski signed HB 2817—a bill that eliminates the cartelization of the moving business in the Beaver state.
The old law required the Oregon Department of Transportation to notify existing moving companies of businesses that wanted to enter into their market. What's more, those companies were given a veto over the would-be market entrants thereby locking out all competition to maintain artificially high prices—all with the government's help.
The owner of a new moving company, Adam Sweet, enlisted the help of Pacific Legal Foundation lawyer and Cato adjunct scholar Tim Sandefur to litigate against the old law. That lawsuit, once it cleared challenges for dismissal, prompted several pieces of legislation that culminated into the bill that the governor signed yesterday.
Congratulations to Mr. Sweet, Tim, and PLF for their well-fought victory for economic liberty for the entrepreneurs and consumers of Oregon!
More details from PLF here.

Characterisation and Pattern of Culling in Holstein Dairy Cows in Torbat-E-Jam Area, Northeast of Iran
To describe proportion and pattern of culling in commercial dairy herds of Torbat-e-Jam region in northeastern of Iran, this survey was carried out over a period of 15 years from 1997 to 2011 in industrialized dairy herd. In total, the data of 4149 lactating cows have been used in this study. Overall, 415 (09.0%) cows were culled. The involuntary culling were mainly from infertility or reproductive disorders (4%), followed by metabolic and digestive disorders (3%), infection disease (1%) and lameness (1%). Infertility accounted for 55% of disposals in culled cows. Milk fever was the most important reason (26%) for culling due to metabolic and digestive track disorders. Pneumonia was the most common infectious disease that contributed to culling, and on average, it was responsible for 43% of disposals. Subacute mastitis accunted 88% of infection disease disposal. Bone fracture, vagal syndrome and foreign body accunted 19%, 31% and 38% of other disorders disposal, respectively. Aproximately, 13% of the recorded cullings were for unknown reasons. High proportion of infertility or reproductive culling specially poor fertility should be considered as an important economic loss and precaution measures are necessary to reduce this loss.

Road Romp
That does it!
We win on the road, lose at home. So, from now on the players will have to live in a hotel in Philadelphia. A bus will be provided to and from the park, just as life on the road. Now, if we can only get MLB to let us bat first at Citizens Bank Park.
Six-run outburst in the first allowed us to coast to a win for Jamie, his fifth. We're the last team in the majors to have a pitcher reach five wins. We have the third-best record in the NL and still lead the East. That's what counts..
J-Roll scored one of the six first-inning runs. We're now 28-7 when he scores a run. When he doesn't, 9-24. Lot of bloggers and blog commentators want him dropped in the batting order. Hey, he's the leadoff hitter and should stay there.
With three lefties starting this weekend in Toronto, Mayberry will get more playing time. Right-handers the next two nights means Howard/Dobbs/Stairs will get action somehow.
Tomorrow night's game will also be televised by the MLB Network, Matt Vasgersian, Joe Magrane and Mitch Williams. Game is subject to local black-out rules.
Phillies Insider is also on Twitter (Barons63).

I have seen one too many instances of checking strtol () results wrong, so, for the record:
Update: Sigh, two too many, a portable check for empty input added.
To convert const char *str to a long, properly checking for overflow, invalid trailing characters and empty input, it is necessary to do the following:
char *p; errno = 0; result = strtol(str, &p, base); if (errno != 0 || *p != 0 || p == str) error_handling ();
It is necessary to check both errno and *p; if you don't check errno, you get 0 for empty input and LONG_MAX or LONG_MIN for overflow or underflow. On empty input the return value is 0 and errno might be set to EINVAL; the portable way of checking for empty input is comparing p and str.
This will still accept strings that start with white space; check for !isspace((unsigned char)*str) if you want to reject them.
I hope that helps someone.

IronMind Home Sweat Home
IronMind Brings You Tools for Transformation
Combining U.S.-sourced steel and fabrication with the creativity of a California company known from one end of the strength world to the other, IronMind elevates the basics to new heights. We don't go offshore to mass product lawn furniture masquerading as lifting equipment: Instead, IronMind crafts human-transformation tools camouflaged as Vulcan Racks III™, Pillars of Power II+ Spotter Racks, and a Five-Star Flat Bench II™.
Along the way we made significant improvements to many of our tried-and-true pieces of equipment, adding to their already sterling credentials and boosting their capabilities another notch. This year there's a new pallette for PRs. Whether you call it upscale industrial or battleship gray, IronMind's large equipment has a new color scheme.
Five Star Flat Bench II
Strong enough that it can support tons, it is perfect for leg raises, neck work, presses and curls, pull-overs, bentover rows, laterals, flyes, bench presses, step-ups, deadlifts, and more!
Vulcan Racks III Squat Racks
More than strong enough for 1,000-lb. squats, yet light enough to move around. The base unit's versatility has optional add-ons that allow you to dip, chin, and do wrist roller work, all in a footprint that's about 4' x 2'. And you thought you didn't have enough room for serious workouts at home?
Pillars of Power II+ Spotter Racks
A way to keep from getting squashed if a bench press or squat goes awry, plus flexibility that allows you to change its width and height or knock it down for compact storage.
Tools of Transformation
IronMind SDC Center: Squat, Dip, Chin!
Squat like super heavyweight IPF world record holder Shane Hamman, chin like you're a CrossFit champ, and dip with however many hundreds of pounds around your waist you can handle. The SDC center combines the Command Chinning Bar and the Vulcan Racks System III Squat Racks by having them share the same crosstube for a stable base.
Specialty Training Equipment
including our Draft Horse Pulling Harness™, at World's Strongest Man—again in 2011!
Setting Up a Home Gym
Read a high-end magazine and it's easy to get advice on setting up a home gym: minimum requirements usually start with about 1,000 square feet of dedicated space, and a budget that is solidly into five figures or beyond.
Ask us, though, and we have a different take. We say that the standard size for a home gym lifting platform* is about 8 feet by 8 feet, and if you've got that, a barbell set and squat racks, as far as a gym goes, you're set to become an Olympic champion or a world record holder. That's actually the fat-city approach in our book, because we know of guys who don't have any dedicated space— nada, zip, zero—but that doesn't stop them because they stash their equipment in a corner or under the bed, and when it's time to train, the living room or kitchen or bedroom might become a gym, or the car comes out of the garage and— voila!—now they're even lifting with concrete under their feet, for nice, solid, smooth and level footing. Of course, those are just some of the indoor options, because other guys lift outside, braving heat, cold, mosquitoes, and sometimes much harsher elements than even these, as many soldiers, medics, journalists and chaplains working in war zones around the world can tell you. Be creative, and if you're motivated, you can figure out a way to train—it might not be perfect, but it will be a whale of a lot better than sitting around being skinny or fat, and out-of-condition and weak.
* Randall J. Strossen's article, " Building a Lifting Platform," will tell you how to do just that.
For safety's sake, there are a number of exercises that should never be performed without a foolproof spotting system, but there is one that stands out above all others. For all the hand-wringing about this or that dangerous exercise, the only thing we know of that kills and maims people with any regularity is the garden-variety bench press, so if we were to give you only one piece of safety advice, it is to never, ever bench press without a proven spotting system. Never. Ever.

Dispatches From the Republican National Convention
Paul Ryan gave a great attack speech. But it felt like a throwback to an earlier time.
Everyone in the hall loved the iPod line last night from Paul Ryan. He listens to Led Zeppelin, and Mitt Romney doesn't. Modern. Current. Today. Led Zeppelin broke up 32 years ago. By that standard, Chris Christie is more contemporary with his love of Bruce Springsteen.
You might not have thought they made tweezers so small that I was able to accomplish that act of nit-picking, but that wasn't the only way in which the Ryan speech seemed of a previous generation.
Ryan made his case for cutting taxes and shrinking government. This is a standard Republican argument. There's nothing new about it, and in the speech there was nothing new or exciting about the way it was going to be applied. If tackling the problems of the future means you are part of a new generation, then every convention has offered a new generation.
This is a problem with the speech, and it's a problem for the Republican Party. There was no nod in this next-generation speech to the demographic changes taking place in the country. That's what the next generation is about. As Ronald Brownstein has been writing for months, and GOP strategist Mike Murphy has been counseling, the Republican Party is putting all its eggs in the white-voter basket while the country is changing. Romney needs to win a larger share of white voters than John McCain because of demographic changes in the past four years that benefit Barack Obama.
Ryan can't fix the demographic changes in a speech. And his life story can't be applied to fix that either. It's just that since the speech was supposed to make us feel like we're in a post-George Bush era that it should feel in some way like we've moved on. But maybe the fresh-faced Ryan speaks youth and that's all you need.
You know who gave a speech and ran a campaign that really tried to speak to Generation Y? Jack Kemp in 1996. Ryan is a Kemp acolyte, but there was nothing in his speech matching Kemp's words at Bob Dole's convention:
"We're taking our cause from the boroughs of New York to the barrios of Los Angeles. We will carry the word to every man, woman, and child of every color and background ... We are asking for the support of every single American. Our appeal of boundless opportunity crosses every barrier of geography, race, and belief. We may not get every vote, but we will speak to every heart. In word and action, we will represent our entire American family."
Kemp then went out and tried to campaign this way. I traveled with him to Harlem and Watts. It is now considered a joke in GOP circles that he spent all that time in places where there are no Republicans. In 2000, George Bush tried to turn the party in the same direction. That all seems a long time ago.
One final thought about Ryan's speech. He's already creating jobs; we're going to have to hire more fact-checkers. What I don't get about the distortions and fibs in his speech is that they weren't necessary at all. He gave a great attack speech. It was packed with memorable lines and images—yesterday's wind and the image of the Obama voter staring up at the poster. This is why I love conventions. Great stuff! Unlike Ann Romney's speech, it offered everyone a parting gift that they could take home or pass around at the office. He also successfully mocked President Obama's nutty claim about needing to be a better storyteller (which he repeated in a recent Time interview). So why bother with all the stuff that you so quickly categorized, Dave?

Mine are in the oven. This is great for a no-egg recipe. I substituted with ground flax seeds, but might not have needed them since pumpkin itself is a substitute. They look and smell great. Hope they are a hit at the Mom's Coffee tomorrow!
Need to make another batch. They were yummy. I made them gf and added some applesauce and cut the oil a bit. I think I could cut some of the sugar too.
I subbed gf flour and the flax for the eggs but kept the oil. We tried one tonight. So good!!!
B ate our last one this morning. Definitely making again.

2011-08-25 Ory Okolloh • AL project
Start: 11:54:20
vkn: Today is Thursday WELCOME to LunchBunch Some days ago a question was raised about TED. What is TED you say? Well TED is about ideas; Thinking out of the box, beyond the box; Ted is ideas for now and tomorrow' Today let's introduce one of those thinkers
alt: hello AYWalton, how are ya doing today?
AYWalton: Greetings, vkn!!!!!!

AYWalton: hope you are well, today.
vkn: Howdy was trying to prime the discussion
alt: doing well thanks AYWalton okay vkn... whatcha want to talk about? got one for ya.... I see MH has entered the world of USCT & the Myth of Black Confederate Soldiers with an article he wrote for the Examiner.
AYWalton: a popular topic that won't die it seems.
alt: and he is trying to 'jump on the bandwagon"
AYWalton: Many researchers have dealt with the thousands of soldiers myth. I think Bennie has been dealing with it for years.
daviss: The bandwagon is small with us'ns
alt: I guess so daviss
daviss: did he use his own theory hello voix
AYWalton: Hello there, voix.
voix: Having probs trying to copy and paste grrrrrrr so trying to use my voix voice lol

Selma: If they did I didn't feel it..think there was a 4.5 aftershock at the epicenter
alt: I hit CTL & V, then the option appeared, that's when I did the check box thing
Selma: busy getting ready for the Hurricaine.. LOL
AYWalton: Thankfully the aftershocks are not strong. yes, now it's hurricane time. and here in Maryland ---that means thing----everybody will be storming the supermarket for batteries, bread and toilet paper.
Selma: Afternoon fiery
alt: I think vkn was voix LOL LOL
fierybug08: hello everybody...*virtual wave* to Selma alt daviss AYWalton
AYWalton: During blizzard season it is only bread and toilet paper, though. lol
Selma: I stopped by Costco..couldn't go in cause couldn't find a scotter,but at least 10 folks walked out with generators

AYWalton: Alt how is Bennie doing these days?
daviss: I had no idea they had so many "crank" items for emergencies Selma, especially the flashlight
vkn: Ory Okolloh tells the story of her life and her family -- and how she came to do her heroic work reporting on the doings of Kenya's parliament.
Seventies Soulchild: I posted a query in the state research forum that I'd like to pose to you all. Anyone heard of the Alabama Project? Gary Mills was one of the heads of the project.
alt: haven't talked with Bennie in about a week or so AYWalton. last I heard was that he was slowing donw on his postings.
vkn: AYW that is the latest TED talk I am listening
Selma: Yes, seventies on Gary Mills,isn't that Elizabeth Mills husband,he is deceased.
3rdthawkins: what is, who is TED??
vkn: This week a whole series on Africa
AYWalton: not sure, VKN, what is a TED?
Seventies Soulchild: Yes, Selma Is this the conference, vkn?
vkn: I will try and do the link Angela
fierybug08: i think TED is a big 'think tank' corporation
Seventies Soulchild: go to TED.com... lots of info about the organization there.
AYWalton: she might be referring to something else, I suspect.
vkn: I thrive on TED
3rdthawkins: ahh, ok
vkn: AYW you will enjoy
Seventies Soulchild: TED is pretty awesome
AYWalton: so----what is it?
vkn: TED.com
Seventies Soulchild: TED is an organization that presents talks on various subjects.
vkn: Futuristic ideas and current issues
AYWalton: I see.
vkn: Puts the world in perspective
Seventies Soulchild: They conference about 3 times a year and focus on a specific theme for each conference where they give talks.
3rdthawkins: cool
Seventies Soulchild: The last one was in ATL earlier this year.
fierybug08: This was my favorite speech by Chimamanda Adichie http://tinyurl.com/ycq3msk
Seventies Soulchild: Mine too fierybug08.
vkn: TED starts my day
Seventies Soulchild: The singular narrative. I hear her talk referenced a lot.
fierybug08: 'the danger of a single story'...I love Chimamanda's speech.
Seventies Soulchild: C-span starts my day OR a cup of coffee! Usually coffee wins out! lol
fierybug08: coffee and quiet mornings...that starts my day.
vkn: Yes fiery that is an excellent TED I posted it to writers forum about a year ago
3rdthawkins: reading the first two comments on that video, sounds interesting
AYWalton: Yes I have seen that speech. I have no idea if I saw it on TED, though.
vkn: The Ted I posted today tells more on the one story theme
fierybug08: vkn...i'll have to check that one out today
Seventies Soulchild: If I find out about the Alabama Project, I will be sure to post it in the forums.
AYWalton: so did you read the article, alt and was it of interest?
vkn: The Ted I posted today tells more on the one story theme and the danger of one story. A Harvard educated Kenyan female attorney
alt: y'all be just too informed for this lil ole country boy LOL
3rdthawkins: that's why I want to get the story from my uncles, but seem like that won't happen, I will only get one, not including my dad, and I can't totally trust my dad's version, his is tainted
Seventies Soulchild: It chronicles the FPOC in Alabama and their genealogy... according to what Mills wrote in "Plain Folks of the South Revisited"
vkn: It's his story 3rd
3rdthawkins: his version of the story, or the story from his view
vkn: Generally it is our view that might be gazing thru a taint
3rdthawkins: dad fabricates a lot and does not tell the whole truth he tends to make himself the hero
vkn: ok
alt: embellish might be a better choice of words 3rdthawkins, not fabricate, which I equate as a lie.
3rdthawkins: embellish might be better alt, yes
alt: I embellish 3rdthawkins and I try my best not to lie LOL lOL
fierybug08: I know how you feel 3rd. My father has issues, but I am trying to look beyond them and try to reach out to someone else in his family. however there is not telling what story he told about his estrangement
vkn: I recall Langston Hughes teaching "When I look in the mirror; what i see is Me" and that is the story that is told although the listener may hear blemishes.
3rdthawkins: when someone can confirm what someone else's said, that's what it's about, you have to get the story from different people, everyone has their view....one uncle only looks at the positive side of my grandfather
alt: there you go vkn and sometimes that 'guy' looking back at me is not the person I want to be.
vkn: True
fierybug08: then perhaps all stories are necessary. It's almost similar to the perspective of siblings living in the same household. Each child may perceive the same event in different ways. Not that I'm defending your father 3rd.
3rdthawkins: yes, you are right fierybug08, in a lot of ways he's honest and tells the truth, but only from his view, which is not a bad thing, it's just how he saw it. As I was told, he didn't stand up to his dad, he left that alone cause he didn't want to get whippings, so you get that when talking to him, you can tell he just didn't mess with his dad lol
alt: you've got it fierybug08.I can hear my children relate events that happened in our family life and it's often like hearing 4 different stories.
vkn: lol
AYWalton: have a good day everyone.
daviss: btw alt I agree with you about Toots analysis of the DNA structure
vkn: In any event check out TED.com
alt: hello Debbie
3rdthawkins: I like taking stories from different people on the same subject/person/event, and that's just talking general in general family research
daviss: hello gthere Debbie
Selma: Afternoon Debbie
Debbie: hello all !

Seventies Soulchild: ah what else is new daviss? lol
alt: hey daviss.. it's your "brand"... do what you want to do ... as the song says LOL
vkn: Selma I have a prob for you. Had call from man wanting to trace family from 1830 Alabama beginnings to Richmond County VA landings
daviss: lol @ alt
Seventies Soulchild: Yes "It's my prerogative!" lol
Selma: That is a migration pattern for that time period
vkn: I told him it sounded backwards to me but that I would drop it on Selma Alt and AYW
Seventies Soulchild: Well let me look up this man Mills and his work... make some calls, put on the pressure.
Selma: Oh you mean from Alabama to VA..not the other way around
vkn: yes lol
Seventies Soulchild: Were these 1830 people in AL FPOCs?
vkn: not fpoc as far as I know Seventies
alt: sounds strange to mme also .. especially from 1830 AL to VA
daviss: he has a long road to hoe
Selma: So slave owner move from Alabama to VA or sells his slaves to VA
freeaainnc: I've seen fpoc move from NC to AL and MS during the mid 1880s, strange!
daviss: hey free, I did not see you come in
freeaainnc: hi daviss, u were ignoring me hehe
daviss: naaaaw not me
freeaainnc: lol I know
Selma: You can send me the info an email VKN
vkn: yassum
freeaainnc: Had to contact Ancestry.com this morning to request they correct the name of a district in 1830 census for Franklin Co., NC. That was a very interesting search! rec'd a request from a patron looking for the location of "Gilbs", Franklin Co., NC and said the info came from 1830 census
alt: freeaainnc, was the district indexed incorrectly?
3rdthawkins: yeah, they do have a few things wrong, I wanted to but didn't request an address for my dad be changed from Survey Square to Surrey square
freeaainnc: right alt, it was listed as "Gilbs" but after 2 days research, I realized it was "Gills" had to check first with demographic librarian - our resident census expert, she was stumped so used our books to see what I could find about someone named Gilb, Gibb, Gibbs, or Gill(s) and nothing
3rdthawkins: people names are one thing, but place names are different, gotta get that right
alt: oh, okay a transcription error
3rdthawkins: hello bearnut2
alt: hello bearnut2. how's it going?
freeaainnc: we thought maybe it was the enumerator, but according to census districts microfilm from NARA that the enumerator for that county was a Russell
bearnut2: Hi everybody! Its a FULL HOUSE today! lol
vkn: Hope all saw the posting from Lee on GenHist about her findings and the photo of her children. Nice response, alt
alt: you're lucky bearnut2, we had only one empty chair remaining LOL
freeaainnc: so finally this morning went up to the archives. I knew the whole time that tax records would be the key, but boss wanted me to exhaust our books first, so once I did, I went upstairs to the archives to look at tax records for 1830 and all the district names
STG: Yes SS I am trying to find out about that project. It wasn't in my memory bank
alt: thanks vkn
STG: Hi 3rd. Nothing much happening. Doing digging for other people when I can.
freeaainnc: Found the answer - "Capt. Gills District" so called ancestry to request they change "Gilbs" to Gills
Seventies Soulchild: Ok. I would really like to make it a priority to get to AL on a genealogy road tour in the next year or so.
daviss: Can they make that change free?
3rdthawkins: still helping others I see, that's cool stg
freeaainnc: don't know yet, we'll see I guess
bearnut2: I need to go to AL too Seventies--its just so "out of the way" lol
freeaainnc: But I emailed the patron back to let him know
STG: It's my job 3rd
Seventies Soulchild: Yes that's true. I should've made more trips when I was living in Texas.
vkn: what county in AL bearnut Seventies you are Eufaula?
freeaainnc: I also told him if he wants to know the exact location, he will need to look at land records for his ancestor and if he didn't own land, to look at the land records for his neighbors in 1830
bearnut2: stg--I want a job like that vkn--Bullock, Barbour, and Covington
freeaainnc: stg what is your job?
STG: OK bearnut2---you can be a librarian too
Seventies Soulchild: vkn, I'm in BJ's area of research. The Black Belt, specifically Dallas & Autauga counties. But will probably expand to Perry Co too
alt: freeaainnc, might suggest to patron and others to do a 'view' of the actual image and go furhter than just what the index states... they might have caught the 'error' if they had looked at the image.
vkn: oh ok bear
freeaainnc: STG! me too! I'm the genealogy reference librarian!
bearnut2: stg--thats my dream job! I LOVE libraries!
STG: I know Free LOL!
vkn: ahhhh the black belt seventies I remember now
STG: Well come on board bearnut2!
