CATCO, the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts, Gallery Players, MadLab Theatre, Opera Columbus, Shadowbox Live and one of central Ohio's greatest actors were honored Sunday by the Central Ohio Theatre Critics Circle.
The 19 th annual citations, presented Sunday night as part of the 13 th annual Theater Awards Night organized by the Theatre Roundtable at the Jewish Community Center, go to "individuals or groups whose work promotes the higher values of theater or expands the possibilities of theater."
The critics circle – which represents critics who review theater for area newspapers, publications, radio and websites including The Dispatch – adopted four 2013 citations by a unanimous vote:
To Shadowbox Live and Opera Columbus, for serving and potentially expanding opera's central Ohio audience in 2012 with their innovative and accessible production of Joel Ivany's English-language adaptation of La Boheme.

To CATCO, Gallery Players and CAPA, for two collaborations that enriched the theater scene in central Ohio: to CATCO and Gallery Players, for the North American premiere of James Phillips' The Rubenstein Kiss; and to CATCO and CAPA, for their presentation of the touring production of Harold Pinter's The Caretaker starring Jonathan Pryce.

To MadLab, for giving high school playwrights and actors the opportunity to hone and display their talents in front of a general audience with 2012's inaugural presentation of the Young Writers Short Play Festival.

A Roy Bowen Lifetime Achievement Award to the late C. Joseph Hietter, a veteran actor who played leading roles to consistent acclaim in productions at central Ohio's leading theaters, including I Was Young, Now I'm Wonderful at Grandparents Living Theatre (now SRO Theatre Company); Present Laughter and To Kill a Mockingbird at Players Theatre; and All My Sons, The Gin Game and a host of other plays at CATCO, which he helped launch in 1985 with Mass Appeal.

Here is an edited version of the remarks I made Sunday night onstage at the Jewish Community Center's Roth/Resler Theatre, when I presented the Bowen Award, which was accepted by Hietter's son, John, a Worthington resident:
The person we honor tonight with the 2013 Toy Bowen lifetime achievement award was a wonderful actor and director as well as a great guy.
Many remember him as the drill sergeant training a bunch of clueless recruits in the Grandparents Living Theatre musical I Was Young, Now I'm Wonderful, which toured to Washington D.C. and Europe.
Critic Joy Reilly remembers him for being "not only extremely talented but a great ensemble member, a wonderfully versatile actor and a powerful leading actor.
"I loved directing him," she said.
"In my memory of him, he was considered among the the very best actors during the time he lived in the Columbus area. He was quite brilliant at comedy --- very detailed and observant of the little absurdities in life."
"I remember him," Joy added, "sitting on stage alone interpreting a serious monologue that began --- "I Miss Being Needed---- once the whole family depended on me--- I miss their need"
He made it a very moving, believable portrait of the loneliness that can be a very painful part of the aging process."
Joy was talking, of course, about Joe Hietter.
In January 1985 at the YWCA building on S. Fourth St., Joe played a parish priest in Mass Appeal, a historically significant Columbus production. It marked the formal stage debut of Geoffrey Nelson's then-fledgling Contemporary American Theatre Company, which as we know later developed into central Ohio's professional Equity theater company.

Mass Appeal was the first of 11 leading roles that Hietter would play at CATCO. Among the others, many of us have fond memories of seeing Joe as the competitive senior citizen opposite Linda Dorff in The Gin Game, the fed-up father in Homeward Bound, the straight-laced district court judge embroiled in the battle of egos of Handy Dandy and the shady owner of a Chicago resale shop in David Mamet's American Buffalo.
At Players Theatre, he played many more roles, including one I was fortunate to see very early in my first months at the Dispatch when he led an 11-member ensemble as the hammy actor Gary Essendine in Noel Coward's Present laughter.
As I wrote in my January 1986 review, Joe gave the "necessary sheen of elegance" to the British playwright's comedy of manners.
"Present Laughter is an actor's delight largely because of its highly theatrical style and subject, which is, ultimately, about the allure of the theater itself," I wrote.
"Recognizing themselves in the theater folk they portray, the cast romps through Coward's chic repartee like cats through catnip."
And Joe would romp through more than another quarter century of A Well-Respected Life in the Theater.
One of his best roles came in Handy Dandy, a two-hander opposite Ionia Zelenka, who he also co-starred with in Players Theatre's On Golden Pond. (Zelenka, who also died last year, was one of the first recipients of a Roy Bowen Lifetime Achievement Award; the Theatre Roundtable dedicated its 2013 awards night to Hietter and Zelenka.)
Here's part of what I said about the pair in my 1988 review:
"Sex, politics and religion are the three no-nos of polite conversation. Raising any of these taboo topics risks unpleasant argument. But what can be a disaster in life often proves to be the opposite in the theater.
All three controversial subjects enliven Contemporary American Theatre Company's superbly acted Columbus premiere of Handy DandySet in Boston in 1987, William Gibson's comedy-drama revolves around a series of confrontations between a radical nun and a conservative judge.
Theirs is a battle of egos that soon widens into a war of wits and words. All he wants is to uphold the law. All she wants is to change the world...
Zelenka's Molly is a memorable character, feisty but querulous, tough but vulnerable. Hietter's Henry is an easily exasperated realist whose compassion gradually shines through. Either of these veteran actors has the strength to hold the stage alone. They prove it once again in this happy reunion."
And here is an excerpt from my last review of Joe as the morally compromised father in CATCO's revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons:
"Hietter is superb in a tricky role - In the first act, projecting easygoing, subtly evasive charm, & In the second, sliding into blustery defensiveness and regret."
Today, we regret his passing.... but who could regret seeing any of the memorable performances that Joe gave over so many years?

Lyrics:My daddy was a ragtime trombone player, My mammy was a ragtime cabareter, They met one day at a tango tea, There was a syncopated wedding and then came me; Folks think the way I walk is a fad, But it's a birthday present from my Mammy and Dad.ChorusI'm a Jazz baby, I want to be jazzing all the time; There's something in the tone of a saxophone, That makes me do a little wiggle all my own, 'Cause I'm a Jazz baby, Full of jaxbo harmony; That ""walk the dog,"" and ""ball the jack,"" that caused all the talk, Is just a copy of the way I nat'rally walk; 'Cause I'm a Jazz baby, Little Jazz baby that's me. Patter - Rocked to sleep while the cradle went to and fro, To and fro to the tune of the ""tickle toe,"" Ever since I started in to grow, I'd love to hear the music playin', See my dear old mammy swayin; Jazz, Jazz, Jazz, that's all I ever knew, All day long I never would get thro'; Jazz, Jazz, Jazz, that's all I want to do; Play me a little Jazz. 'Cause I'm a Jazz baby; Full of Jazbo harmony; That "walk the dog" and "ball the jack" that caused all the talk Is just a copy of the way I nat'rally walk, 'Cause I'm a Jazz baby; Little Jazz baby, that's me

Today's weather vane was found somewhere in Massachusetts.
Do you know the location of weather vane #106? Scroll down to see the answer....
Today's weather vane was photographed at the JFK Library and Museum on Columbia Point, in Boston, Massachusetts. This is a wonderful museum on the life and presidency of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. There are lots of exhibits on the events surrounding his life and term in office, as well as lots of family memorabilia. The card under this weather vane reads: "Jacqueline Kennedy gave the president this sailboat weathervane on his forty-sixth birthday for their home in Hyannis Port."
JFK was born on 29 May 1917, so she must have given it to him in 1963 for his birthday. This is poignant since he was killed on 22 November 1963. It was his last birthday gift from Jackie. This room was full of photos and memorabilia about JFK's love of sailing and his time served in the Navy during WWII. You can visit his sailboat, Ventura, just outside the museum.

When I think of Christmas, a range of culinary treats spring to mind: cranberry sauce, fresh green sprouts, tender pink meats, sweet tangerines, dark chocolate truffles, crisp golden potatoes…. The list, as Santa knows, goes on.
Throughout December, kitchens everywhere are bursting with a vibrant mix of colours, flavours and aromas. Just as beauty counters everywhere are brimming with the latest eyeshadows, lipsticks and perfumes!
It's hardly surprising then that Christmas, a holiday dominated by lovely grub and pretty gifts, should remind me of food's relationship with beauty. Cosmetics and food share many common traits; from irresistible smells to striking colours, unusual textures to scrumptious tastes.
For centuries, humans have used edible ingredients to decorate, nourish and pamper their bodies in a bid to appear more beautiful. At the start of the middle ages, for example, women made lip rouge out of sheep fat and mashed up red roots. Yummy!
And even to this day, many beauty products are made with ingredients like castor oil. So, to celebrate food and beauty's long, interrelated history, here are my top ten food-inspired beauty products this Christmas…
1. Evie Orange Mini Lipstick by Frontcover (£4.00)
If you're after a dainty but delectable lippy, then look no further than Frontcover's gorgeous range of mini lipsticks. The range boasts several stunning shades, most of which are named after food items! So whether it's Salmon Roe or Buttered Popcorn, Apricot Candy or Cajun Pepper, you're bound to find a colour to suit your taste…
While each shade is lovely in its own right, I recommend keeping your eyes peeled for Evie Orange – a small lipstick with a big personality. This lipstick's tangy hue delivers a vibrant punch, and looks lovely when accompanied with minimal or matching eye makeup; I personally like to team it with a subtle blend of Frontcover's "Tempura", "Fawn Skip" and "Choc Chip" eyeshadows for a tangerine-dream vibe. Have a look…
2. Cherry Burst Mini Lipstick by Frontcover (£4.00)
Another favourite of mine from Frontcover's range of mini lipsticks is the explosive Cherry Burst. It may be little, but this lippy is guaranteed to make a bold impression. The colour is pretty and playful, but it's also downright daring. Indeed, Cherry Burst is not for the faint-hearted, but if it's a seductive, fruit-stained pout you want, then this is definitely the shade for you.
3. Merry Berry Nail Lacquer by China Glaze (£8.95)
This nail lacquer has one fruity character! Like all China Glaze lacquers, Merry Berry contains China Clay as a nail hardener, which is 'the same material that gives porcelain its shiny finish'. As a result, the lacquer doesn't run, it doesn't clump, and it doesn't chip easily. It also comes with a thin, angular brush which makes it easy to apply. (thebeautypartnership.com)
4. Champagne Kisses Nail Lacquer by China Glaze (£8.95)
Like a fine bottle of bubbly, Champagne Kisses is light, golden and sparkling. It dries evenly, catches the light beautifully, and (unlike many glittery nail varnishes) doesn't look gaudy. Instead it looks soft, shimmery and delicate. Champagne Kisses looks great on your fingernails – especially while you're holding a glass of moët! (thebeautypartnership.com)
5. Berry Season Nail Lacquer by Art Deco (£9.50)
This lacquer is rich, elegant and absolutely gorgeous. It's one of the loveliest nail varnishes I've ever tried. Berry Season is guaranteed to add a touch of sophistication to your look, and I think it'd make the perfect addition to any Christmas outfit.
6. Berry Red High Performance Lipstick by Art Deco (£15.00)
With its vampish shade, Berry Red is the perfect way to give yourself a dark but feminine edge. This lip shade looks quite dramatic against pale skin, which is why I usually wear it during the evening. I do like to wear it in the daytime as well though – in which case I just reduce the severity of the look by limiting the amount I apply. Simples!
7. Million Dollar Sugar Scrub by Organic Surge (£32.00 / 400g)
I love this scrub for several reasons. Firstly, it's enriched with pure orange and bergamot essential oils, meaning it smells divine. When I first opened the jar, I thought it smelled like Christmas! Secondly, the scrub has a soft but sugary texture which feels lovely when massaged into your skin.
And thirdly, the scrub is packed with pure plant extracts and organic brown sugar crystals, two ingredients which do a fantastic job of ridding your body of dead skin cells. After using this luxurious scrub just once my skin felt incredibly smooth – I think it'd be a great product to use when prepping your skin for fake-tan.
8. Nourishing Night Cream by Pukka Ayurveda, made with Avocado (£28.00 / 50ml)
I tried out Nourishing Night Cream by Pukka Ayurveda just before going to bed the other evening. My skin quickly absorbed the cream and, as the aroma settled, I soon began to feel a mild, tightening sensation across my face. After sleeping on it, the next morning I woke up to find my skin in better condition!
My complexion felt softer and smoother, and I noticed a visible reduction in the fine lines across my forehead, which appeared to have ironed out. In addition to frankincense and pomegranate, this night cream also contains avocado – something which South American and Mexican women have used to moisturize their skin for the past 400 years. No wonder it worked so well!
9. Hair Shampoo for Dry Hair by Cosmecology Paris, made with shea oil (£5.80)
I suffer from psoriasis but after just one use of this shampoo I noticed an improvement in the condition of my scalp. The shampoo has a lovely scent and leaves your hair feeling soft and looking silky, especially when followed up with Cosmecology's Instant Hair Repair conditioner. (cosmecology.com, stockist number: 0800590094)
10. Peel Skin Exfoliator by Cosmecology Paris, made with apricot and papaya (£6.70)
I adore this exfoliator! The apricot and papaya ingredients smell lovely and rid your face of dead skin cells – my face looked clearer and softer after use. Remember though, don't use too much exfoliator when the weather's cold as it can leave your skin exposed to the effects of harsh weather. Apply gently a couple of times each week for a bright complexion.

Tagged: Interleague
The Filibuster
"As interleague play begins, what made-up rivalry do you find the most interesting? The I-5 series? The I-70 series? The 'I-don't-really-care' series?"
— Jeff
You know, as crazy as it seems, the best interleague series this year and the one that everyone should (yet no one will) pay attention to, is the so-called "Sunshine Series." Granted, this one isn't happening this weekend and might not be relevant by the time it rolls around. A lot could change by June. But, if everything holds relatively constant, will there be a better interleague series than Florida-Tampa Bay? On top of that, the two teams have to be a couple of the best stories in baseball this year.
However, for this weekend and the opening of interleague play, the decision is a little harder. Detroit – Arizona? The Yankees and Mets playing for the heart and soul of NYC? The Dodgers and Angels pretending that LA actually has a soul to play for? I mean, I hate to have to say it, but the Cards and Rays might actually be the best matchup of this weekend. At least both teams are actually playing well.
I mean, I guess if you ask which rivalries I find most interesting, I'd have to say any of the intra-city series. There, the fans of the teams live in such close proximity and intermingle frequently that it adds a nice tension to the matchup. Even though the Yankees and Mets are sucking this season, the Subway Series is still going to be a huge draw. And with the payrolls that the teams boast, it's almost like an All-Star game in and of itself.
The best discussion I've read so far of interleague play comes from Jeff Passan at Yahoo! Sports. And honestly, I can't really say anything here that he hasn't already said better. So, I guess that's what I've got for you for right now. Interleague play is such a weird hybrid to begin with that it's hard to make straight up value judgement on what series are best. First, you have to get past any personal issues you might have with the idea in and of itself and then you can go from there. And that's what I have to say about that.

Sign up: Free Learn a better way to hedge for farmers
Are you tired of listening to the same BULL ****, and services that do not have a plan if the market goes down instead? Hedge means to take risk off the table, and my service has all producers 100% hedged and they do have most of the upside unhedged (if we can rally for whatever reason). Hedge with a Pro and option expert who has been trading grains for 36 years.

March Corn
After the close recap on 2/25/13: My resistance was 6.97 3/4, .02 1/4 from the actual high, and my support was 6.83 3/4, .03 3/4 (pivot was .02 1/2 in open outcry) from the actual low.

For 2/25/13: I still say "January low of $6.78 and then the gap at $6.64 are supports, and the downtrend line at the bracket line at $7.08 ¾ is major resistance".
In my daily March corn numbers on Friday my resistance was .01 ½ from the actual high; my support was the EXACT actual low.
Grains: The USDA Forum expect farmers to plant 77.5 million acres of soybeans that will yield 44.5 BP. They project the carryover growing to 250 million bushel and the price declining to $10.50. USDA expects farmers to plant 96.5 million acres to corn which will yield 163.6 BPA. That results in a 2.177 billion bushel carryover and an average farm price of $4.80. Argue with the estimates if you want, and bet on what you believe will be true, but I would rather bet on the possibilities seen in the charts, rather than predicting the outcome of this year's production. I will take advantage of the market price swings, and when I can risk a little at a good support or resistance level to make a good reward if the chart level holds, that is my way of trading a market. I do not need to make every penny of every move, it is more important to stay unemotional, and control risks.
With that being said, 2013 highs are already in unless a true weather event comes into the picture, and if expectations are realized we will be at much lower price levels than where we are now.
Do you really want to know the reason why the market closed $.55 ¼ off its high? I could care less. Soybeans have become the "star of the show" lately, with corn and wheat sharing no role in it, they are just watching. It seems to me that the funds have targeted soybeans to focus their attention and money, but not like in the past by accumulating a massive position, they seem to be very short term in their objectives. That is still helpful to me as a trader this time providing a sell at a gap bracket line resistance, and for all of my producers who again this time rolled up their $14 and $14.20 puts up to $14.50 and $14.70. They did it in the last 3 trading days, capturing the $.30 of $.50 free and clear, and ending the game of deal or no deal. They do not care to gamble by saving $,20 if the market in 8 weeks will be above $14.70, or risking the $.30 profit in your hand now and do nothing and it expires below $14.20 (or $14). It is the $.30 in your hand that matters, not continuing the gamble and risk $.30 to make the last $.20. They also know that if the market never rallied, there would not be $.30 profit to capture. New subscribers should also note, my producers have been adding income to their original hedges that were rolled over since November options expired.
Now after a couple of years of watching opportunities come and go, capturing some, they seem to be more than willing to capture whatever the market gives them, and are confident what they are doing is now the right approach to take. Does not matter that the market might have rallied after rolling up their puts, and it does not matter that the market went down making it around $.07 more expensive to roll it up now, they knew it was the right thing to do and that is why they did it. My producers have all been in control of what they do, and why they do it, and understand the strategy to be confident, slow down risk, and keep emotions to a minimum. Yes, they still have questions about the "what if's" in the options they have, like what they will be worth if we are at a certain price in the future. I really am proud of them now, they all progressed at their own speed, definitely are in control of what they do, and now have learned what they need to be "self directed". They still hear the "chatter", read the news, listen to the radio, and now look at those around them as a "herd" and remember when they were one of them. They know they have an advantage they never had before, having learned what I have to offer. I am not a farmer, I do not make money on projecting what yields are (but I am allowed to guess too, when guesses are even possible), I do not have satellites, or a platoon of foot soldiers to scout 175 million acres (good luck with that), or "inside information" about SA or the PRC. I am just a trader, an option expert, and have earned the wisdom from my experiences. The value of a mentor, Priceless! If only I had one, it would have been much easier.
Nothing for producers to do now since they have rolled their puts up to the call strike sold, and they still have their original protection and now have something like the May $14.70/$13.60 put spreads. 2013 hedges have been rolled down already, but it is never too late to do so. As I have been saying, all unhedged soybeans should have some kind of an "at the money" put protection, and ... subscribe.
Soybeans posted a new high for the run and closed lower which bodes well for another down day to follow on Monday. Chances are good for the market to go down and test the gap at $14.24 ½ this week which is also about a 50% pullback from low to high. I want to take the sell signals only and risk $.06 on the idea using a buy stop to protect.
I keep saying the same story, the corn market will continue to bleed as bulls are still watching the drought areas get a little better, but they still believe in the weather services that call for trouble again this year for production. As the days go by, their story continues to erode, and to bet money on the weather but you lose money on the idea as corn goes down. It might take until June before the "weather" provides the rally the bulls are looking for, the trouble is, that rally could bring us back to where we are now. Producers continue in the "bonus round" since the December options expired, and there have been many opportunities that each producer have taken advantage of some, and now once again will make an average of $.20 if the market can get to at least $7.10 on expiration in 8 weeks from now. If it rallies whenever, you know you can... Subscribe Now!
It did not matter what soybeans have done lately, corn has looked tired and unable to show any sign of life "to the upside". I still say supports look more likely to be taken out in time, rather than the resistances. $6.78 is solid support for the March contract, and then nothing until the gap at $6.64. Bulls need to get above the strong resistances found at $7.08. Until $5.47 ½ is broken in the December contract, it remains as support to be respected. Once that goes, there is really no support until $5.37, after that it is the 2012 low on the chart made in June at $5.11. Bracket is strong resistance at $5.70 ¾. December ... subscribe now. New subscribers who are not 100% hedged 2013 corn should consider hedging here (my service is hedged 100% from $6.40 to $6.60), my gamble would be to try and hedge $.10 higher, but if it went below $5.47 ½ I would not hesitate further. It is reasonable to get the first $.80 upside "free and clear".
Corn would do well if it can stay inside the bracket lines moving sideways, and with weather permitting it will breakdown to the next support level. I prefer to take the sell signals, but would trade without bias and risk $.03 ½ on any idea using a stop to protect. I have been bearish corn and soybeans since September 2012, and I continue to have that stance for both old and new crops.
Grains: Soybeans continue to bang on the door at $15.03 ¾, but so far the gate is locked at $14.98. They need to get past there in order to be able to run to the highs of November 2012 at $15.45. I will never bet on the long side below that strong bracket line, but have no problem buying at $15.05 another day after the highs are taken out and if we see a pullback. Many times when a bracket line like this is violated, in a day or two later the market has a tendency to come back down and test what was resistance and is now support ($15.03 ¾). After Friday expiration is out of the way today, Monday can be the day where the market finally "busts through" its resistance, or gives up and implodes. I am always a willing seller at these lines, but the more days it is near the resistance, the less aggressive I become and reflected by taking less risk by selling fewer contracts. That way when it finally does break through, I have less contracts on. The first time up maybe 5 contracts let's say, then 4 the next, until finally it is only 1 every time. If I can get a pullback on 5 contracts, and then another pullback on 4 contracts, and maybe the third time I get stopped out on 3 contracts. Making more than $.06 on the winners, and only losing $.06 on the loser, I am way ahead of the "game". My approach is like that of a casino operator, I want to play the game and make sure the odds are in my favor.
Corn on the other hand continues to look "heavy" and even with the strength in soybeans, has brought little support for corn and wheat for that matter. New crop soybeans have also disconnected from old crop soybeans, failing to post gains on a strong day in the old crop. If old crop soybeans could rally above $15.03 ¾ and extend gains, that should have at least a supportive underpinning for the rest of the grains. Sure, old crop soybeans could keep going higher and the rest slide lower, but it is supportive. Put it this way, if soybeans go higher and corn and wheat go lower, they would go even lower or at a faster pace without soybeans holding a "light" shinning on the upside. Do not buy corn because you think soybeans are going higher, buy soybeans. And if you think corn is going lower than sell corn not soybeans. Trade what you watch and watch what you trade. If you buy corn because you think soybeans are going higher, you could be watching corn go down and lose money as you see soybeans indeed going higher.
The December corn $5.90/$5.50 put spread settled ...subscribe now. Use any combination to perfectly reflect what you are thinking and want, or NEED to do.
November soybeans have come back nicely tonight and are waiting to see if the March contract can drag it higher. Current hedges look adequate for now, new hedges should be entered though. If we could rally $.50 I would look to extend down coverage $.40 and sell a $.60 call spread to almost pay for it.
Lastly, soybeans just "filled the gap" and is free to move in either direction. Corn is only up $.02 showing no enthusiasm watching soybeans rally. In open outcry if soybeans are trading above the gap, I would expect corn to be no worse than firm, but it is still vulnerable to erode lower.
I continue to want to day trade the numbers without bias and risk $.03 ½ in corn and $.06 in soybeans using a stop to protect any idea.
Grains: Soybeans continued its pursuit in testing the resistance gap at $15.03 ¾. But the 3 day $.90 rally from the low, fell short once again to touch let alone get above it. This test of the bracket line "triple top" is always a "sell" the closer you get to it. Bulls should be more than happy to take profits at this objective, rather than watching it go back down giving back everything made as was the result the last 2 times tested. Time will tell if this is the time the bulls will be able to break through and go higher, but I NEVER bet on that occurrence to happen. I always look at supports and resistances will hold, until they do not. Whatever caused the soybeans to rally is irrelevant, the fact it did is all that matters, and the ability to take advantage and improve your hedge position or take speculative trades (in this case sell against the bracket line resistance) that have little risk if the line fails and good reward when it holds.
The last 7 trading days have produced closes in March corn that were within an $.08 range. It did not matter that the March soybean contract closed $.65 higher in the last 4 days alone. Trade what you watch, and watch what you trade, these markets are on its own. It is really futile to look at the fundamentals known and unknown, and form an opinion valid enough to bet on. Weather is the biggest fundamental, and that is an ever changing challenge to predict, with predictability based partly on science and partly unpredictable "what if's". Last year we started off nicely with no sign of a drought, and then it started but nobody could predict how long or severe it would be, but mostly "reported" what was already seen and what was the "forecast" in sight. Forecasts, NOT certainty. So as a trader (speculator) and same for a hedger, betting more than a "what if" bet on weather is not the prudent thing to do.
So as I admitted to you since last March, I am "off" the fundamentals, and that stance has proved to be true, especially when you look at pre report corn guesses that were 750 MB apart in the survey of analysts, so if the analysts are totally in disagreement, how can you look at any of their guesses? That is like saying you will probably die somewhere between the age of 10 years old to 98 years old. That brings us back to the charts for facts, the actual facts of what has been support and resistance in the past, which is more than helpful in price discovery of what could be support and resistance in the future. Gaps, bracket and trend lines have earned my respect from my beginning, and have always been the only "tool" that I can rely on, and allow me to risk money with a clear exit price to limit losses, and a clear objective when entering the trade idea.
My ideas of sideways ranges continues to be my view, I just do not see anything the next few weeks that could make us "breakout" from the established near term bracket lines. Both the corn charts are showing sideways action at this lower level since January, and should continue to remain between the bracket lines. December corn clearly broke down first on the daily chart, but has yet to threaten the gap at $5.47 ½. At the same time it could not rally and threaten the many resistances found in March corn at $7.08 ¾ and below. That means that there are plenty of sellers who would like to "cheerlead" it through there and have a chance to at least try and fill the gap at $7.22 ½, but that wall of resistance within $.10 is what encourage those who need to sell to at least start selling something. They remember it was just $6.78, and the bounce has been like a bowling ball.
Decades have taught me that farmer ownership is not "strong hands" because common sense and logic tells me that someone who owns grain and have no use for it except when sold, and the fact that they will be producing another crop, turns into very weak hands when downtrends continue for a few months. Last few years farmers who have waited and missed selling high prices, have not suffered from that bad behavior because the market has managed to rally the last few years for a variety of reasons, but gave them "second chances" or more to sell. You know my service has always said to manage risks, and services and producers who seek higher prices, should ALWAYS have a plan to sell to limit risks if the market goes down. These last few years farmers have made nice incomes, and they feel they now have "money to lose" and will ride out any downturns. That is the bright side, but the dark side and truth is that with a good crop this year and next, we will be in a long term downtrend that will not see these levels for years. So in essence, farmers holding grain could be like holding gold in January 1980 when gold traded $850 the "all time high", and people who held gold (no different than a farmer holding unsold grain now) thought it would go higher and possible "double' in price. What happened was they watched gold go down below $300 in the mid 1990's and trade there for quite awhile, before the recent upturn the last 10 years. They waited about 33 years before they saw that $850 again, and then "doubled" in price about 3 ½ years later. Do you want to hold your grain for 33 years?
As long as grain prices are "floating" at these already historically profitable pre planted corn and soybean prices to hedge, the farmers with deep pockets will continue to watch what the market will do, and without having some kind of hedge like ours, they will be victims of the "markets", instead of dying with a sword in our hand. I have literally seen thousands try and trade on the floor and could not last 6 months, and obviously the main reason for most of them was their lack of risk protection, and many because the "unimaginable" happened to them.
I continue to think rationing will be done in the cash market, NOT the futures market. You can see the funds appetite is not like it was before, and they are much more conservative in their participation, and they seem to not hold their positions too long. They have not shown any conviction in the fact they are not building a bigger position over time, but rather splurges of buying, and quick to sell for whatever their reasons. Bulls count on their support, I just do not see it with the positions they hold.
Those are my thoughts, you must think about what price levels YOU want to use as support and resistance, for entry and exit, and how much to risk as each opportunity presents itself. Maybe the USDA Forum will help Friday, but it is the price that puts money or takes it out of your pocket, and I always base it on the chart. The large majority of the time the chart levels we pick out are spot on as seen recently, and that is a good start, with the ones that were not adequate, would be able to be "morphed" to the next level.
I think that people with March options should exit today, especially if you want to adjust your new protection and get the upside back "at the money". If bearish, roll half and stay short the other half until Friday. Market has the potential to be volatile with the news coming out of the forum today and Friday, and the options expire on Friday.
December corn has good support $.15 below, and strong resistance $.15 above, but producers who ran out of coverage below $5.80 do not have the luxury anymore to watch and see if $5.47 ½ will hold. If I was a bull I would still need to roll half of my puts down to $5.50 for more protection. You have the same chart I do, and you know if the market is higher it will cost you less, and lower it costs more. Follow your game plan as written in your journal, or change it and write the reason why.
We were ... subscribe now. Have a plan, make sure you can live with the risk and reward YOU pick out and use. Same hedge ideas apply to soybeans, look at the strikes and settlement prices, you clearly can see what will reflect your thoughts and ideas and risk parameters with what you have learned.

Google Scholar comes to metrics!
Google Scholar Metrics for Publications
Sunday, April 1, 2012 | 3:00 AM
Most researchers are familiar with well-established journals and conferences in their field. They are often less familiar with newer publications or publications in related fields – there're simply too many! Today, we're introducing Google Scholar Metrics: an easy way for authors to quickly gauge the visibility and influence of recent articles in scholarly publications.
To get started, you can browse the top 100 publications in several languages, ordered by their five-year h-index and h-median metrics. You can also search for publications by words in their titles. For example, [design], [international law], [salud], and [otolaryngology]. To see which articles in a publication were cited the most and who cited them, click on its h-index number.
Scholar Metrics currently covers many (but not all) articles published between 2007 and 2011. It includes journal articles only from websites that follow our inclusion guidelines as well as conference articles and preprints from a small number of hand-identified sources. For more details, see the Scholar Metrics help page.
Here is hoping Google Scholar Metrics will help authors worldwide as they consider where to publish their latest article.

'Not Fade Away' plays best as music history
The highlight of Not Fade Away, a meandering and bittersweet coming-of-age story, is its killer '60s pop-rock soundtrack.
Well-observed but occasionally disjointed, it's a film (** 1/2 out of four; rated R; opening Friday nationwide) that's more about thematic tone, sound and images than plot.
E Street Band guitarist Steve Van Zandt (who also played Silvio in The Sopranos) curates the music in this big-screen directorial debut of Sopranos creator David Chase. Like that seminal HBO series, Not Fade Away is set in New Jersey and co-stars James Gandolfini. But the suburban world it chronicles is worlds away from Tony Soprano's Bada Bing! and other Mob hangouts.
STORY:'Sopranos' mates Chase, Gandolfini won't 'Fade Away'
VIDEO:David Chase discusses his new film, 'Not Fade Away'
MORE:Chase revisits the Sixties
This story is set in the mid-1960s and focuses on Douglas (John Magaro), who is in a band and yearns to be a famous rocker. His dad (Gandolfini) is inflexible and authoritarian — he hates his son's anti-war stance, Dylan-esque hair and Mod wardrobe. His favorite insult: "You look like you just got off the boat."
The film has enough minor plot threads for a miniseries, and that's where Chase trips up, even though he created one of the best dramatic series of all time. Character is revealed over time and can change in believable ways in episodic television. But here, Chase crams a lot into a two-hour film, and while some of it works, not all of it does.
Not Fade Away is on stronger footing when it focuses on the main story of Douglas' artistic evolution from musician to filmmaker. When it digresses into the tales of his friends or their relatives, it falters.
This is particularly true in a plot thread involving the druggy sister (Dominique McElligott) of Douglas' girlfriend who is institutionalized by her parents. There are several story lines like this that feel shoehorned into the larger tale. The romance between Douglas and Grace (Bella Heathcote) seems perfunctory. And while Douglas' spunky younger sister Evelyn (Meg Guzulescu) is a more intriguing female character, she's given little to do.
Like Douglas, Chase grew up in New Jersey suburbia and played rock covers as a teen. If the movie is read as autobiography, it was music that inspired Chase's film aspirations. Douglas says "I like the idea of putting music together with film," and Chase's fascination with the same was brilliantly evident in The Sopranos and here.
The soundtrack is an eclectic sampling of some of the best '60s tunes, from lesser-known bands like The Left Banke to famous rockers like the Kinks and Rolling Stones, that effectively evokes the era. The times were indeed a-changing, and that message is poignantly communicated in a wordless montage where Douglas' dad watches South Pacific as Douglas and Grace arrive at a California beach.
As the saga of a teenager who wants to be a rock star, then gradually realizes he won't achieve that dream, Not Fade Away sometimes feels a trifle worn. But as an affectionate tribute to rock 'n' roll and a moody look at the '60s, it makes a more powerful impression.

While general guidelines can help you select a sport based on age, it's important to remember that children develop at different rates.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says children are more likely to enjoy and succeed in sports when they have the physical, mental, and social skills required by the sport.
Below are guidelines recommended by the academy.
Ages 2 to 5 years
Before age 6 years, most children do not have the basic motor skills for organized sports. Balance and attention span are limited, and vision and ability to track moving objects are not fully mature. Instead, look for other sports activities that focus on basic skills such as running, swimming, tumbling, throwing, and catching. These skills can be improved through active play but do not require organized sports activities. Children at this age have a short attention span and learn best when they can explore, experiment, and copy others. Instruction should be limited, follow a show-and-tell format, and include playtime. Competition should be avoided. Parents can be good role models and should be encouraged to participate.
Ages 6 to 9 years
By age 6 years, most children have the basic motor skills for simple organized sports. However, they may still lack the hand-eye coordination needed to perform complex motor skills and may not yet be ready to understand and remember concepts like teamwork and strategies. Sports that can be adapted to be played at a basic level and focus on basic motor skills are the most appropriate. This includes running, swimming, soccer, baseball, tennis, gymnastics, martial arts, and skiing. Sports that require complex visual and motor skills, quick decision-making, or detailed strategies or teamwork (football, basketball, hockey, volleyball) will be difficult unless modified for younger players. Rules should be flexible to promote success, action, and participation. The sport should focus on learning new skills rather than winning. The equipment and rules should also be appropriate for young children. For example, smaller balls, smaller fields, shorter game times and practices, fewer children playing at the same time, frequent changing of positions, and less focus on score keeping.
Ages 10 to 12 years
By ages 10 to 12 years, most children are ready for more complex sports. They have the motor skills and cognitive ability to play sports that require complex motor skills, teamwork, and strategies. Most experts believe that sports at this level should focus on skill development, fun, and participation, not competition. Most children would rather play more on a losing team than less on a winning team.
Some children in this age group may be starting puberty. During this time, the physical differences between children, particularly boys of the same age, can be dramatic. This can make a difference in what sport is best for your child. Boys who start puberty sooner will be temporarily taller, heavier, and stronger. This may give them a physical advantage, but it doesn't mean they are more talented and will continue to excel in sports. If possible, they should compete with boys with the same physical ability. Similarly, boys who mature later may experience a temporary physical disadvantage in sports. This should not be seen as a lack of talent or ability. These boys should be encouraged to play sports with less emphasis on physical size, such as racquet sports, swimming, martial arts, wrestling, and certain track events.
Also, growth spurts can temporarily affect coordination, balance, and the ability to perform a skill. Keep in mind that it can be frustrating if this is seen as a lack of talent or effort.

DUBLIN, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (Nasdaq: JAZZ) today announced that the first patient has been enrolled and dosed in a clinical trial of Erwinaze® (asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi) administered intravenously (IV) as an alternative method of administration to treat patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with hypersensitivity to E. coli-derived asparaginase therapy.
"Intravenous administration of Erwinaze may provide meaningful benefit to patients, their caregivers and families by avoiding the need for multiple intramuscular injections," stated Lynda Vrooman, MD, MSc, a pediatric oncologist at Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center and principal investigator of the trial. "Intramuscular injections can be painful and difficult for patients, and this alternative route of administration, if it is shown to be feasible, would be an important advancement in the care of certain ALL patients, many of whom are young children."
The trial is designed to enroll up to 25 ALL patients in the U.S. and Canada who have a documented Grade 2 or higher hypersensitivity reaction to native or pegylated E. coli asparaginase and have not completed their full courses of prescribed asparaginase therapy. Preliminary pharmacokinetic data from the trial are expected in the second half of 2013.
"This important clinical trial underscores our commitment to those patients with ALL who require treatment with Erwinaze," noted Jeffrey Tobias, MD, executive vice president of research and development, and chief medical officer of Jazz Pharmaceuticals. "It also reflects our strategy of supporting our core growth products by investment in patient-centric initiatives."
About Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia affects approximately 6,000 Americans, 60 percent of whom are children. ALL is the most common form of childhood cancer, with the peak incidence between two and five years of age. ALL has a 90 percent survival rate with treatment including asparaginase-based regimens, but progresses quickly if left untreated. A majority of asparaginase treatments derive from E. coli; however, approximately 15 to 20 percent of ALL patients develop hypersensitivity to E. coli-derived asparaginase regimens. Erwinaze asparaginase-based therapy plays a critical role for patients with no other treatment options.

The company has a diverse portfolio of products in the areas of narcolepsy, oncology, pain and psychiatry.

A series of upgrades to the railroad tracks means the Amtrak Vermonter is going to be traveling faster through the state.
The new timetable for the train that runs from New York to St. Albans, Vt., cuts 28 minutes off the trip within Vermont.
It is the direct result of a recently completed two-year, federally funded program to upgrade and repair a 190-mile stretch of track from the Massachusetts border to St. Albans.
The improvements include track and signal upgrades.
Track speeds along the route within Vermont have been increased, from 55 mph to a maximum 59 mph north of White River Junction and from 59 mph to a maximum 79 mph south of that location to the Massachusetts border.
The new timetable takes effect Monday.

The APACHE Series travel guitars resurrected the popular VOX Teardrop and Phantom body styles. Now, the APACHE Bass makes these unique designs available to the bassist as well. As with the guitar models, there are four color variations, each with a pop sensibility that matches its distinctive design.
The VOX brand is a legendary presence in the history of electric guitars and basses. With their distinctive body shape and stunning aesthetics, the VOX Teardrop and Phantom basses first debuted in the 1960s, and captivated musicians from around the world. Today, more than fifty years later, these iconic instruments have come to life in the exciting APACHE Bass.
In addition to the authentic body designs, these tricked-out travel basses host a 2-channel bass amplifier, speakers, dozens of rhythm patterns, even a convenient E-String tuner – all built right into the bass itself! Combining cool, retro looks to satisfy the enthusiast with play-anywhere convenience, these playful and spirited instruments are a highly attractive choice. In addition to fans of yesteryear's Teardrop and Phantom, these exceptional basses are also a great choice for entry-level players and bass students, as well as for musicians seeking easy playing at home or on tour; and of course for all collectors of unique and exotic instruments.
Unique Body Shapes from Yesteryear
In every era, the VOX brand has generated unique and cutting-edge amps and instruments. That spirit continues to burn brightly even now, more than fifty years after its founding. The classic VOX Teardrop and Phantom guitars and basses gained numerous followers, achieved an iconic status – and gave rise to numerous copies. VOX has now firmly reestablished these enduring designs in the all new APACHE Series of well-equipped travel basses. The APACHE I Bass lays claim to the timeless Teardrop body shape; the APACHE II Bass features the coveted Phantom body style. Each model boasts four colorful finishes that complement their distinctive design.
Onboard Amplifier for Play-Anywhere Portability!
While the APACHE Bass takes its styling cues from the past, the feature set is totally up to date. Contained in the body itself is a complete bass amp with speakers! The amp offers two sound variations: Normal and Bright. A full complement of Gain, Tone, and Master Volume control provides access to a broad range of tones. A 4" VOX speaker deliver a full, powerful bass sound. Enjoy the play-anywhere portability of the APACHE Bass's built-in amplifier, wherever you go!
Built-in Rhythms for Extra Enjoyment
APACHE Bass instruments are fun to play thanks to their onboard amp & speakers; but there's more fun ahead using the built-in rhythms! In addition to providing accompaniment as you play, these rhythm patterns are ideal for rhythm training or for backstage warm-up before a concert. It's a great function for generating inspiration and adding power to your performance.
The wide selection of rhythm patterns will make playing your APACHE Series bass guitar more entertaining. Choosing one of the ten genres provides immediate access to standard styles including 8-beat, 16-bit, and blues; to other styles such as funk, reggae, and complex patterns in unusual time signatures. Each genre contains six patterns and one extended song pattern that is several measures long, for a total of 66 different patterns. Each of them boasts serious sound quality with excellent presence, allowing you to perform with the backing of real drum patterns. The tempo and volume of each pattern can be controlled with dedicated knobs; and it's easy to call up the exact rhythm pattern you need.
Convenient Connections
A headphone output is provided for private practice; plugging in your headphones will turn off the internal speakers. A traditional output is also provided, allowing your APACHE Bass instrument to be played through a traditional bass amp. The AUX IN jack allows an MP3 player, CD, or any other audio source to be connected so you can jam along with your favorite tracks. These new APACHE Bass instruments open up a world of possibilities that are unavailable with conventional electric bass guitars. Power is provided by six (6) AA batteries, delivering up to 26 hours of playing time with alkaline batteries. A soft case and a strap are provided.

June 21 is ASK Day, a campaign organized by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and the American Academy of Pediatrics — and supported by APHA — with a simple idea to keep children safe.
Keep Kids and Families Safe
Just ASK: The best way to protect your kids from guns outside your home.
If you're like most parents, you probably have some questions the first time your child asks to play with a new friend or in a new place. How will they be supervised? Are the TV shows and games age-appropriate? What about Internet access and pets and allergies? However, we've learned that there's one important question that over half of parents never think to ask:
"Is there an unlocked gun where my child plays?"
Take Action Now
Asking this simple question is an important step every parent can take to help keep their children safe, and possible save their child's life.

What are the minimum conditions (switching times, sensitivity ...) for a camera to detect dim objects, e.g. Oort cloud or Kuiper belt objects, passing by in front of a star in the background?
I've read the Hubble did this. Is it possible also from ground?
How do these conditions change, if the camera would be in space? Or do I need Hubble?

The EDGE Program has been discontinued. This archived page will be available through the end of Fall 2019 as reference for students completing EDGE 3000- and 4000-level courses.
What is the EDGE Program?
Each and every SUU student plans a special project that is designed to help them achieve a unique personal or professional goal. They can select from a variety of experiential programs offered by SUU staff and faculty, or they can design a project from scratch. Each project takes longer than a single semester to complete, giving the student a chance to complete a long-term comprehensive project employers are looking for in resumes and portfolios.
How does the EDGE Program fit into the SUU Curriculum?
An SUU undergraduate degree has three main components: general education, the major, and an EDGE Project. Each element helps our students bind their education to real-world, authentic experiences. General education sets a broad foundation in skills and concepts that supports depth and focus through the major. The EDGE Project helps students refine their "soft skills" and integrate their general education courses with the work done in the major. The end result of this type of education is more than just a transcript. It's personal brand that gives our students an edge over the competition.
The EDGE Program is a five-step process:
Step 1 Preparation
We offer three 8-week, one-credit online courses to guide students through the process. The first is EDGE 1010 Becoming an Engaged Learner. In this orientation students learn about the theories behind engaged learning and how the EDGE Program will help them become this kind of learner. They receive a detailed description of the program requirements, sample projects, and are introduced to the campus resources that will help them design, propose, plan, and execute their own project.
Step 2 Exploration
After students complete EDGE 1010, they have a period of time where they can talk to professors, parents, and peers to get an idea of a project that will help them achieve their larger goals. This process can take a few semesters, and that's fine. Once students have an idea, they submit a simple declaration that states what they are trying to learn, how they will learn it, and which life goal this project will help them achieve.
Step 3 Commitment
At some point (usually the end of sophomore year) we ask the students to commit to an idea and write a proposal. Our sections of EDGE 3000 guide students through the process of pitching an idea, developing and writing a formal proposal. Once that proposal is approved (we don't fail students on this. if it's not right we just tell them not yet) they develop a detailed plan including a timeline with major milestones, a budget, lists of contacts and resources, and a pre-project reflection.
Step 4 Completion
This is where the uniqueness of the program comes into focus. Each student then goes out of the classroom and into the world to complete this project. In most cases the student will be working alone to accomplish this part. They learn how to be self-directed, how to report back to a supervisor, how to keep on track and on budget. They have to make sure the project doesn't drift from the stated objectives. They also document the project so they'll have something to share in a portfolio when they are done.
Step 5 Reflection
Reflection is the key component to project-based and experiential learning. When they are done, we use our wrap up course EDGE 4000 to guide them through a verification of their project, an archiving process, the writing of reports in various formats and mediums, to a variety of audiences. They also update and upgrade their professional documents such as cover letters, resumes, portfolios, and even a LinkedIn profile. Ideally the whole thing is done sometime at the start of the senior year, so they are able to use their project in job, graduate school, and internship applications.
Disclaimer: We ask students to learn independently outside of the traditional classroom setting. While SUU makes efforts to offer students safe opportunities, it is not possible to control or anticipate all factors in experiences related to facilities, environments, equipment and individual behaviors that may contribute to each student's emotional, physical and social safety. Please exercise sound judgment and counsel with one of SUU's Engagement Center directors if you would like assistance managing any issues or concerns that may arise.

Lately my Droid Incredible has been shutting down spontaneously when using my GPS for periods over 30 or 45 minutes. After the shutdown the back of the phone is pretty hot (and that's with a case on it). I kept my other services to a bare minimum when using the GPS.
Could this be a battery overdraw (or overload with it connected to a charger)? If not, could some services (GPS, CPU-intensive games/apps, etc) or a combo of services cause the CPU to overheat and shutdown (much like a laptop when it gets too hot when the CPU is overworked with no additional cooling)?
