The stock market began June with a strong rally thanks to another wave of benign economic data that overshadowed GM's bankruptcy.
But some investors are nervous that the month, traditionally a weak one for stocks, may not end as well.
Traders homed in Monday on better-than-expected readings on manufacturing, consumer spending and construction spending. The Dow Jones industrial average and other major indexes rose more than 2 percent, and the Standard & Poor's 500 index and Nasdaq composite rose to their highest levels this year.
The economic data suggested the economy's decline is moderating, but did not show a rebound. Construction spending rose in April, but personal spending was down slightly. Personal incomes were flat and U.S. manufacturing activity contracted for the 16th straight month in May, although at a slower pace.
Monday also brought General Motors Corp.'s bankruptcy filing, the fourth-largest in U.S. history. The filing didn't come as a shock, but it did serve as a reminder of the government's heavy involvement in corporate America following the takeovers of American International Group Inc. and the mortgage giants Freddie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Separately, a trend that had ruffled investors last week — falling Treasury prices and surging yields — resumed Monday, but the stock market shrugged it off. A spike in long-term Treasury yields could drive interest rates on consumer loans higher, potentially threatening an economic recovery.
Despite the appearance that stocks are resuming their climb on hopes for an economic turnaround, a number of analysts think the market has come too far, too fast since hitting 12-year lows in early March.
"I can't really buy into today's super-happy stock market," said Kim Caughey, equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group. She said she was skeptical because even if the economy is stabilizing, there is little to drive demand once it bottoms.
Analysts pointed out that it wasn't just economic data that encouraged buying on Monday. Technical factors did, too. The first trading day of the month often brings with it a surge of new money from mutual funds, and meanwhile the S&P and Dow broke through their 200-day moving averages for the first time in well over a year. Moving averages are closely watched technical barometers for the market, and some traders will automatically buy or sell if those levels are breached.
According to preliminary calculations, the Dow rose 221.11, or 2.6 percent, to 8,721.44.
Dow Jones & Co. said it would add computer networking gear maker Cisco Systems Inc. to the index, replacing General Motors Corp., as GM entered bankruptcy protection. Seven years after being spun off by Citigroup Inc., Travelers Cos. will supplant its former parent on the Dow as well. The changes take effect June 8.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 23.73, or 2.6 percent, to 942.87. The Nasdaq composite index rose 54.35, or 3.1 percent, to 1,828.68.
So far, this year's stock market has had an eerily similar pattern to last year's, noted Shaeffer's Investment Research analyst Todd Salamone, falling until mid-March and then gaining through May. Then in June of last year, the market started to sink. Salamone pointed out that the average return for the month of June during the past 20 years is negative 0.5 percent.
Standard & Poor's chief economist David Wyss said he expects the U.S. economy to bottom out late this summer or early in the fall, and then experience only a "rather sluggish" recovery. Wyss predicted U.S. gross domestic product — all of the goods and services produced in a country — to drop 3.1 percent this year, with even sharper declines in European economies and Japan.
Another hurdle that's approaching later this summer: Second-quarter corporate earnings results. If those come in worse than investors anticipated, Caughey said, "we'll have a reason to hate the market again."
Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank, noted that returns are much better when the S&P 500 is trading above its 200-day moving average, but that the statistic itself can send "a number of false signals."
Also, trading on the first day of the month is generally much stronger than normal. The S&P 500 index was down about 34 percent in the 10 years leading up to May 1. But according to S&P data, if someone invested in the index only on the first day of the month over that time frame, he would have gained 21 percent.
Government bonds fell again Monday, driving yields back near last week's highs. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, used as a benchmark for home mortgages and other consumer loans, rose to 3.68 percent from 3.46 percent late Friday.
The dollar weakened further Monday against the euro and the British pound. Gold slipped, but oil jumped.
Advancing stocks outnumbered decliners by about 5 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.5 billion shares, similar to Friday.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 19.75, or 3.9 percent, to 521.33.
Manufacturing surveys out of Europe and Asia topped estimates, which drove up markets overseas. Japan's Nikkei stock average jumped 1.6 percent, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index soared 4.0 percent. In Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 rose 2 percent, Germany's DAX index rose 4.1 percent and France's CAC-40 gained 3.1 percent.

Despite the obvious naughty uses, there are plenty of perfectly legitimate reasons why you might want to give Snapchat a whirl, and they all center on this social app's near-perfect ability to give you a wealth of control over the privacy of the pictures and videos you send to your friends. Snapchat has become so popular so fast that more than 200 million snaps are being shared per day.
If you're looking for a photo app that has comprehensive gallery functionality, fun filters or cloud-based storage, this is not the app for you. But if you want to strap the digital equivalent of a time bomb to every piece of media you send to your friends — we won't ask why — you'll be happy to know that you'll be able to set up Snapchat on iOS or Android nearly as quickly as you can say "selfie." Here's how.
1. Install the Snapchat app. Fire up the App Store or Google Play and install it. Kick your feet up while the app transfers over.
2. Sign up for an account. Since you can't just use an existing Facebook/Google/Your Favorite Social Network account to log your way into the service, you'll need new credentials. Tap Sign Up. You'll be asked for your email address, password and your birthday. Tap Sign Up.
3. Pick a username. Select a "unique identifier" for your account that cannot be changed once it's set. Your friends can use this to find you on the service, and the username will appear underneath your real name in their Snapchat contact list.
4. Friend up. Snapchat will ask you if it can tap into your phone's contacts list. Unless you have a burning desire to add friends manually, we recommend you grant Snapchat this permission so you can commence friend-adding. iOS users will also be asked to enter in their mobile numbers for easier searching; fret not, Android fans, for you can add this information later — so long as the text-based verification goes smoothly for you.
Once Snapchat comes back with a list of your contacts that it has identified as users of the service, you can add them as friends by clicking the large person-with-a-plus button to the right of their names. If you want to remove them (or block them) later, just long-press on their names until the secondary menu pops up on your screen.
5. Prepping for pictures (or video). Ready? Once you're on Snapchat's main screen, taking a picture is pretty easy for those who have ever used their phones' cameras before. If not, here's a quick guide: Tap an area of the picture you want your phone to focus on. Tap the big round circle to take a picture. Hold the big round circle to take a video.
6. Save your own shots. The icon to the right of the timer, a downward-facing arrow, allows you to dump the shot you just took into your phone's traditional gallery. It's useful if you want to save your shot for future purposes, as there's no other way to do so once you've sent the picture out.
7. Set picture time limit. Tap on the stopwatchlike icon in the lower left and you can set the specific time that you want your picture to be available for a friend to view. You can go all the way from a blink-and-you'll-miss-it 1 second to a maximum duration of 10 seconds.
8. Add captions to pictures. Tap in the middle of the picture (on Android) or the more descriptive "Tap to Add Caption" bar on iOS to do just that. If you're feeling a little nostalgia for "Draw Something," you can also tap on the icon in the upper-right corner of the screen to draw directly onto your image with varying colors of a virtual pen.
9. Send your snaps. Click on the arrow icon in the lower right to get your shot ready to send. Up pops your friends list; select everyone that you want to receive your image, take one final breath of confidence and click on the now-displayed arrow in the lower right-hand corner.
10. Take video. You get fewer options to play with when you've taken a video on Snapchat. Namely, you can save the brief video (maximum of 10 seconds) down to your phone, add a caption, and turn the volume up and down. Note: Any changes you make to the volume are reflected in the final video sent to your friends, which follows the same process as the way you go about sending pictures (steps 7 to 9).
11. View Snapchat messages. If you've received a Snapchat, or just want to check out the log of Snapchat pictures or videos you've sent out to your friends (just the log; not the media itself), tap the little cube icon on the lower-left of Snapchat's main screen. If you have any to-be-viewed messages, the number will appear over the cube itself.
Once you're on the messages screen, you'll see any new pictures or videos that your friends have sent you listed with a "press and hold to view" message underneath them. Don't do that unless you're really ready to view the image or video, because that starts the countdown timer for how long you'll be able to view it. When it runs out, the message will transition over to a "double tap to reply" prompt — do just that to continue your Snapchat "conversation."
12. Edit Snapchat settings. Tap the gear icon in the window's upper right corner. You can confirm your mobile number by tapping the associated field if you skipped this part when first setting up Snapchat. You can also open up your Snapchat for messages from anyone on the service — not just your friends — by changing that setting (but make sure you want to do that).
You can also specify how you want Snapchat to notify you when you have new pictures or videos to view, but we were only presented this option on the Android version of the Snapchat app. iPhone and iPad users just have to live with silent, nonvibrating notifications, even if they've set up Snapchat to buzz and yell within their iOS settings.
The Android version of Snapchat also gives you the opportunity to lower the quality of the videos the app takes, as well as Snapchat's default camera orientation. You'll find both of these settings buried within the "Video Settings" section.
Finally, to keep your Snapchat log nice and tidy, both Android and iOS versions of the app allow you to "Clear Feed" with just two taps of your finger.

Police are issuing Erykah Badu a citation after someone complained about her stripping to her birthday suit on the streets of downtown Dallas.
The Dallas singer has been charged with disorderly conduct, a Class C misdemeanor, for disrobing while shooting her "guerilla-style" video for the song "Window Seat" in Dealey Plaza last month.
The decision to issue the citation to Badu was made after a complaint was filed this week with the police informing them of the complainant's disgust.
"The city attorney's office and the Dallas Police Department has decided to charge the entertainer known as Erykah Badu with disorderly conduct. After much discussion, we feel that these charges best fit her conduct when she disrobed in a public place without disregard to individuals and small children who were close by," said Sgt. Warren Mitchell.
The Dallas police said they did not plan to file charges against the singer unless someone complained. No witnesses in Dealey Plaza called police at the time of the incident.
Now, a citation will be mailed to Badu. She faces a maximum fine of $500 and can either pay the fine or fight the citation in court.
Badu released the controversial music video Saturday. Many people said her disrobing was, at the very least, disrespectful. Others said they didn't see the harm and seized the opportunity to parody the Grammy-winning singer, including K104 morning DJ Skip Cheatham, who shot his own video to her song while he undressed on the streets of Dallas.
The music video begins with a 1963 radio broadcast describing President John F. Kennedy turning onto Elm Street. Badu is then shown in a parked car. Then she walks toward Elm Street while taking her clothes off.
Badu said on Twitter that she could hear people yelling things at her, but she kept going. People were yelling things such as, "This is a public place," "You ought to be ashamed," and "Put your clothes on," she said.
She said the people caught in the background were trying to ignore her as she shed the last of her clothing -- except for one man who grabbed her clothes.
In the video, she falls to the ground at the spot where Kennedy was shot.
The blood at the end of the video spells out "groupthink."
Groupthink is "the unwritten rule that states; I will not express my true opinion if it opposes those I love and fear. I volunteer to censor me," Badu wrote on Twitter.
Badu is scheduled to sign copies of her new album on Saturday at Good Records in Dallas. The store's owner, Chris Penn, said Badu's video was just an artistic expression.
"As an artist, you want someone who is thinking outside of the box and giving you a means to escape," Penn said.
Jimmy Holcomb, a shopper at Good Records, said he thinks Badu shot the video to drum up sales.
"I think it's a publicity stunt, although a well-timed one, because of the album's release," he said.
NBC DFW's Omar Villafranca contributed to this report.

Southington fans cheered as they filed out of the Cheshire bleachers. The band sounded off one more anthem as the players lined up to shake hands. On Saturday, Sept. 29, Coach Mike Drury turned to the press with a wide grin.
And why not? With a 35-0 win over Newington, Drury became the first Blue Knight coach to win on Cheshire's field in five seasons. In Southington's first home game of the season, the uprooted Knights posted their first shutout.
It was a good sign for Drury since the turf construction has sent his team scrambling for home game sites. The Knights proved that they were up to the challenge.
"We're here in Cheshire, but this is the kind of year where we have to adapt. This was our home game, and it was a great win," said Drury. "We have to come with the mindset that this is our home game, and we don't lose at home. That's the bottom line…It wasn't like Fontana Field, but it was a good atmosphere."
It was almost too easy. After surrendering 14 points in week one, the defense held New Britain to seven in week two. Against Newington, they took it one step further, posting their first shutout since a 3-0 win over New Britain in the second week of last season.
Justin Rose led the charge with 13 tackles. Nick Spits scored 11 tackles, and Zach Jamele added nine. Blue Knight defenders blitzed for seven quarterback sacks as wave after wave of Southington players penetrated Newington's line.
Southington held Newington's ground game to just over one yard per carry (37 attempts, 38 yards). With no running game the Indians took to the air, connecting on16 of their 38 pass attempts (42.1 percent) for 200 yards, but
"We know that they're going to be a team that passes a little bit more and has success with it," said Drury. "We know when we face teams like that, that we have to get pressure on the quarterback on every play. Never let them feel comfortable."
The Indian offense was forced to punt five times and turned the ball over on downs three times. Newington only reached Southington's red zone one time during a second half drive that stalled at the 15-yard line under a swarm of Blue Knight defenders.
"We didn't want to lose that shutout. We just wanted to come together and stop them," said defensive lineman Travis Daly. "Today we played with more than just 11 guys. We had a lot of kids go down. We had kids who never even played the O-line step up. We had different positions go down, but we had kids filled in and worked really well."
The Southington offense continued to get mired in penalties, but they managed to fight through them to score in every quarter. On their second drive of the game, quarterback Stephen Barmore had two first down scrambles called back by penalties before connecting with Jarrid Grimmett for a 62-yard touchdown screen pass.
"We definitely stressed the mistakes a lot in practice this week, especially after New Britain where we had 150-plus yards in penalties," said Barmore. "We really stressed that this week and how to respond to a situation like that. I thought we responded to that pretty well, obviously."
Grimmett broke out for two touchdowns in the contest and marshaled the ground attack with 16 carries for 107 yards. Barmore rushed for 80 yards, including a 13 yard touchdown scramble. Barmore completed 8-of-19 passes to six different receivers for 120 yards and two scores. Connor John scored on a 10 yard reception from Barmore, and Zach Jamele punctuated the scoring with a one-yard plunge with 9:11 remaining in the game.
"It's definitely what we wanted to see," said Drury. "There's definitely things to improve upon, but I told the guys let's come out right away and lets get the pistons firing. Last week, we had to get going in the second half. We got going right away today in all aspects—special teams, offense, and defense."
With the victory, Southington improved to 3-0. On Saturday, Oct. 10, they'll try to protect their perfect season as they host Conard in a home game at Falcon Field in Meriden. Conard (1-2) is coming off a 35-6 loss to Glastonbury last week, and Drury said that his team will be ready. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
"They are going to have a power offense. They are very well-disciplined, and they're well-coached," said Drury. "We have to come out there in Meriden and play our A-game against them. They are always a tough opponent. They play everybody tough. We just have to stay the course."

RICHMOND, Va. – The month of March was a time that no VCU basketball fan will ever forget. Head Coach Shaka Smart and the VCU men's basketball team climbed the proverbial hill all the way to the school's first-ever Final Four.
During the first week of May, Smart will literally climb the hill on two occasions. This time, that hill will be a pitcher's mound as the second-year head coach will toss at ceremonial first pitches on May 3 and 8.
On the 3rd, he'll toss out the opening pitch before the Rams baseball team battles top-ranked Virginia at The Diamond.
"This athletic department is one big family," Smart said. "My coaching staff and I try to get out to show our support as much as possible and this is just one small way to show Coach Keyes and his guys that we're pulling for them."
On the 8th, Smart will head to Wrigley Field to not only throw out the first pitch, but also sing "Take Me Out to The Ballgame."
The Madison, Wisc. native frequented Wrigley with his grandfather to root on their beloved Cubs, so the trip will be a dream come true of sorts.
"Some of my memories with my grandfather are going to Wrigley Field, sitting on the first base side trying to catch some foul balls," Smart said. "There's nothing like a game there."

2 boys to face judge in kitten-stoning deaths
LAS VEGAS — Two 11-year-old boys are due to face a judge in Las Vegas on juvenile criminal allegations that they threw stones that killed six newborn kittens.
A court official says the boys are due before Family Court Judge William Voy. They face seven counts each of animal cruelty that could get them up to 30 days of detention.
The names of the boys haven't been made public because of their ages. They were placed under house arrest following an earlier court appearance.
Police say neighbors heard breaking glass Oct. 9 at an apartment complex, and witnesses reported seeing the two boys throwing rocks before running away. Authorities say the rocks killed six kittens as their mother gave birth.

August 31, 2012
By: Bobby Blakey
In 2011 Legendary Martial Arts fighter Joe Lewis had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor which he had removed, but lost his final match on August 31 passing away at the age of 68.
Born in 1944, Lewis joined the Marines in 1962 and began his martial arts training while stationed in Okinawa under numerous masters and earning his black belt in just seven months. After returning to the US he trained privately with Bruce Lee, even being considered for the role that eventually went to Chuck Norris in Way of the Dragon.
Lewis dominated the fight world through the 60's and 70's attaining titles of "United States Heavyweight Kickboxing Champion", "World Heavyweight Karate Champion", and " United States National Black Belt Kata Champion". During his time in the ring he faced off against some of the best fighters in the world including Chuck Norris, Allen Steen, Skipper Mullins, Bob Wall, J. Pat Burleson and many more. In 1983 Lewis was voted by promoters and fighters as the greatest fighter of all time ahead of both Chuck Norris and Bill Wallace.
In addition to his titles and too many legendary fights, he took a turn in several martial arts films starring alongside people like Christopher Lee, Donald Pleasence, and Robin Shou just to name a few. His last role is in the upcoming film Kill 'em All due out in 2012.
Joe Lewis was more than just an actor or fighter, he was a martial artist. He did numerous appearances and seminars that no doubt touched martial artists around the world. He has left more marks in the minds and souls of those that respected and looked up to him than he ever did on opponents in the ring. His passing has left a void in the martial arts world that will not soon be filled, but his spirit and love of the martial arts will live on in those that loved and respected him.
Speaking from experience, if you ever had the joy and honor to meet Lewis you no doubt walked away a better person, martial artist, or both. Lower your heads and bow to a passing master who will live on forever in the minds and hearts of the warriors that follow him and will miss him always.
LEWIS, Joe
Born: 3/7/1944, Raleigh, North Carolina, U.S.A.
Died: 8/31/2012,

John James Ingalls
Politician, attorney. Born: 29 December 1833, Middleton, Massachusetts. Married: Anna Louisa Cheeseborough, 1865. Died: 16 August 1900, New Mexico."Kansas," said John J. Ingalls, "is the core and kernel of the country, containing the germs of its growth and the quickening ideas essential to its perpetuity." An orator, scholar, lawyer, and statesman, known for his keen sarcasm and quick wit, Ingalls was, at age 26, a primary force behind the Wyandotte Constitutional Convention that brought about Kansas statehood. Ingalls, who represented Kansas as a U.S. Senator from 1873 - 1891, coined the phrase Ad astra per aspera (to the stars through difficulties) that became the Kansas state motto.

Since I was born and lived the first 40 years of my life in Kansas, this is significant to me. I prepared this chart to show my relationship with John Ingalls and his/my cousin Laura (Ingalls) Wilder.

Hamilton College's Gabe Klein '13 scored the winning run in Game 2 on a wild pitch with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Continentals swept a non-conference doubleheader against SUNY Institute of Technology at DeLutis Field in Rome, N.Y., on May 1.
Hamilton (16-21 overall) edged SUNYIT 3-2 in the opener and 6-5 in the nightcap. Both games were scheduled to go seven innings. The Continentals set team records with 16 wins and 37 games this year.
Klein drew a two-out walk in the ninth inning of the second game and went to third on a single through the right side by Sam Fuentes '13. Klein scampered home on a wild pitch by Michael Rose while Rose was pitching to Tim Burke '16.
Joe Jensen '15, Colin Henneberger '14, Klein and Fuentes finished with two hits and an RBI each in Game 2. Klein hammered his fourth home run and Fuentes and Henneberger smacked one double apiece. Jensen tied a school record set by Sam Choate '12 in 2009 with his 30th run scored this season.
Hamilton used four pitchers and Tommy Moriarty '14 picked up the win in relief. Moriarty (3-3) allowed one run on five hits in 3.2 innings. He finished the year with 27 appearances, which is another school record.
Ryan Dungey '14 went 3-for-5 with his fifth double for the Wildcats. Rose (2-4) pitched admirably in defeat. He came on in relief in the fourth inning and allowed three runs on five hits, walked two and struck out four in 5.2 innings.
Hamilton loaded the bases in the first inning with no outs after a single by Jensen, a double by Henneberger and a walk to Klein. But Fuentes' sacrifice fly drove in the inning's only run. The Continentals tacked on a pair of runs in the bottom of the second on back-to-back, two-out RBI singles by Jensen and Henneberger for a 3-0 lead.
The Wildcats (15-21) clawed their way back into it with two runs in the top of the fourth inning. Dungey doubled down the right field line and an infield single by Chandler Evans '13 put runners at the corners. Anthony Ragosta '15 grounded into a fielder's choice that plated Dungey and after SUNYIT loaded the bases, Jonathan Saporito '15 drew a two-out walk. Cole Dreyfuss '16 got out of the bases-loaded jam with a ground out to second.
SUNYIT tied the score in the fifth inning but Hamilton took the lead right back in the bottom half. Dungey beat out an infield single and went to second on an overthrow. After an out, another error allowed Dungey to score all the way from second base and tie the score at 3-3. Klein led off the home half of the fifth with a blast down the right field line for a 4-3 lead.
SUNYIT scored another run in the sixth and tied things up again. Connor Passalacqua '16 took a pitch to the back and Jhomel Solano '13 came in to pinch run. Solano advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt, beat the throw to third on a comeback to the pitcher and scored on a Jim Sass '14 sacrifice fly to right field.
Solano drove in the go-ahead run with one out in the seventh inning. Infield singles by Ragosta and Joseph O'Rourke '15 followed by a sacrifice bunt put two runners in scoring position. Solano hit a bloop single to right and pinch runner Mike Mainello '14 barely beat the tag at the plate and the Wildcats led for the first time, 5-4.
Hamilton was down to its final strike of 2013 in the bottom of the seventh when Klein beat the infield shift with a single up the middle. Fuentes drilled a double to right center that scored Klein all the way from first and it was 5-5. Fuentes moved to third on an errant throw and rounded the base but slipped and was tagged for the final out of the inning, and the game went to extra innings.
Jensen and Henneberger led the Continentals with two hits apiece in Game 1. Jensen also drove in a run. Klein had the other two RBI and his 13th double this year, and Tyler Reinhold '15 recorded his sixth double.
Mike Williams '16 posted his second win this season. Williams (2-4) allowed one earned run on four hits and struck out five in 5.2 innings. Moriarty pitched a perfect 1.1 innings for his team-record sixth save.
Sass and Devin Frye '13 had a hit and an RBI apiece for the Wildcats. Daniel Wiecek '13 took the loss in the complete game. Wiecek (5-2) gave up two earned runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and two walks in seven innings.
SUNYIT grabbed a 2-0 lead with a run in the first and second innings. Dungey led off the top of the first inning with a walk, stole second and scored on Sass' single down the right field line. Ragosta started the second inning with a single and made his way to third base on a throwing error that put runners at the corners. Phillip Mascitelli '15 singled to right and plated Ragosta.
Wesick allowed just two hits -- a double by Reinhold and a single by Henneberger -- over the next three innings but the Hamilton bats came alive in the fifth. The inning started with Reinhold reaching on an error and Nick Taylor '15 moved him to third base with a single. Jared Friedberg '16 reached on a fielder's choice, stole second and both runners were in scoring position. Jensen reached base on an infield single that plated Reinhold, and Klein smashed a two-out, two-run double to left center for the 3-2 lead. Williams settled down and didn't allow another hit in his final 3.2 innings.

Originally a railroad town, Roseville was just called \Junction\ for years on maps of the area. By the late 20th century, the city abandoned its railroad roots and became a bustling city for big business.

"What a good idea! I'd really like a local swimming pool", you might think to yourself. What you might not know is that one exists at present; it's in the Elephant & Castle Fusion Leisure centre. Unfortunately, it has fallen into disrepair and needs to be replaced. So Southwark Council are consulting on whether or not to replace a facility that they should be providing at present. The reason given for this pointless consultation is that Southwark council officers are concerned that they might be unable to meet their leisure commitments on the basis of the financial squeeze. However, due to the fact that most of SE11 is in Lambeth, many local residents will not be included in the consultation. Obviously, residents living in Kennington, Oval or Vauxhall would be much closer to the propsed pool than Southwark residents in Peckham or East Dulwich. So, I'm proposing that the news of the potential pool be circulated as widely as possible to Lambeth residents so that we have a chance to comment on the consultation.
On the basis that we're all good friends really (since Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham Councils are all Labour controlled) and we're meant to be thinking of ways to be co-operative and share services, I thought it might be worth suggesting to Cllr Mark Harrison (Princes Ward) that he could campaign on behalf of Princes residents to enable the pool in the complex to be replaced. After all, according to London-SE1,
[Southwark] "Council leader Peter John said last month: 'We do want to see a swimming pool at the site and we're determined to deliver'".So, it should be a done deal, a fait accompli.... But unfortunately, despite our very poor local leisure coverage in the area (kindly mapped for us by Jason Cobb), Cllr Harrison considers the matter would be better taken up by individual residents. After all, maybe many local residents wouldn't consider a pool a priority. Bah. Unlikely. Here are the Tweets in question:
And this is Cllr Harrison's response:
So, let's demonstrate to Southwark / Lambeth Labour group that local residents would seek to prioritize a local swimming pool, and put pressure on them to provide this type of essential service, despite cuts. Let's demonstrate that there is a clear majority view in favour of such a service.
Why not write to Cllr Mark Harrison outlining your views (if you're a Princes Ward constituent) at firstname.lastname@example.com to ask him to put pressure on the Labour coalition of councils? Here's the link again to fill out the Southwark Council questionnaire (it's very short). After all, shouldn't the Co-operative Council actually, y'know, co-operate?

100 years later, Titanic's allure still strong
By Gena Somra, CNN • Updated 10th April 2012

8 Pictures
Tom and Sheila Byron are packed and ready to go.
They looked over their 50-item checklist no fewer than a dozen times. After planning for this journey to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary for the better part of three years, they want to be prepared. It is, after all, the trip of a lifetime.
On Sunday, the retired couple from Marietta, Georgia, will set sail from Southampton, England, along with more than 1,300 other passengers on a cruise to mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.
"I think it will be fascinating. I get chills just thinking about it," Sheila Byron says.
Perhaps that's with good reason.
CNN's Chris Welch reports from the Azamara Journey, which will travel to the site of the Titanic's sinking.
CNN'S Gena Somra talks to a couple celebrating their 25th anniversary on the Titanic memorial cruise.
CNN's Nic Robertson reports on the opening of a major museum honoring the Titanic in the city where it was built.
Titanic Memorial Cruise
will follow the route the Titanic took, and is scheduled to be in the exact spot at the exact time the Titanic struck an iceberg close to midnight on April 14, 1912, sending it to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean a little less than three hours later. More than 1,500 people lost their lives, and about 700 -- mostly women and children -- survived.
For Titanic enthusiasts like the Byrons, marking the tragedy where it happened is part of the appeal.
"There is a little bit of excitement and a little bit of trepidation to be on the ship outside at night with the chaplain conducting a Christian ceremony to honor the deceased that came from all walks of life," Tom Byron says.
"To be out there and know that 100 years ago, they were not doing what we will be doing; that they were wondering how much longer they had left to live ... it's overwhelming actually."
While not everyone would go to these lengths to mark a historic disaster, it's human nature to be interested.
"Some people may say the curiosity is ghoulish and macabre, but this is really just an ordinary reaction to extraordinary events," says Jerry Jacobs, a psychology professor and director of the Disaster Mental Health Institute at the University of South Dakota.
"It's a fairly universal interest that human beings have to try to see someone going through what we might experience ourselves," Jacobs says. It's why people slow down when they drive past an accident, he adds.
But it isn't just the tragic nature of the Titanic that captivates the Byrons. The mystique of a lost era also fascinates them.
Tom and Sheila Byron have been planning to sail on a Titanic memorial cruise for nearly three years.
The cruise, organized by a British travel agency and sailing on the liner MS Balmoral, will feature history lectures; a stop at Cobh, Ireland, the Titanic's last port of call; and a stop in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where many of the victims were buried.
"The dining rooms are going to follow the etiquette that was used during the Gilded Age. And on the night of the 14th a lot of people will be in period costumes," Sheila Byron says.
"The people on the ship represented a lifestyle that disappeared when the ship sank," Tom Byron says. "It was the end of the Gilded Age -- the Edwardian period where the rich people got off the ship, mostly, and the third class of people mostly perished."
Sheila Byron has been interested in the Titanic since she was a child. And she's far from the only one.
The facts surrounding the ill-fated maiden voyage permeate popular culture. The disaster has spawned countless books, television specials and movies -- perhaps none more famous than James Cameron's Oscar-winning film "Titanic," one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. To coincide with the anniversary the epic film is being re-released in 3-D in theaters on Friday.
In Belfast, Northern Ireland, where the White Star Line's most infamous ship was built,
a new museum
opened last month complete with interactive, hands-on exhibits, adding to a growing list of museums dedicated to the disaster, including one in
, the point from which the ship set sail. And there are sister
Titanic attractions
in Branson, Missouri, and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, catering to the fascination of American audiences.
What is it that makes the Titanic so intriguing and universal to so many people?
"I think it's the fact that it was called unsinkable; that no one thought this was going to happen. A lot of the people on the boat still didn't think it was going to happen when they were sitting in a lifeboat waiting to be rescued," Sheila Byron says.
Jacobs agrees. Heavy publicity as the ship was built helped cement the mythology.
"There was tremendous wealth and glamor on this 'unsinkable' ship," he says. "But you don't have to win the lottery to be happy, and you don't escape terrible things in life just because you are wealthy, and that's characterized in the fascination of the Titanic."
The Byrons know some people think they're crazy for what could be looked at as tempting fate.
"When you say you are going on a cruise, the first thing people ask is 'where'? And then I go, 'oh dear, here we go again,'" Sheila Byron says.
"A lot of them say 'Our prayers will be with you,' or 'Have a good time.' But not too many of them say they would do it."
The thought of disaster is there, Tom Byron says, but it's not dampening the couple's enthusiasm.
"It's one last look at my 50-item checklist that I've looked at for weeks and weeks and weeks," he says smiling. "It's all organized. It's time to go. Let's go."

Quick Tip: Radiant Heat Has Other Options Beat
Save money on energy bills using radiant heating in your new home or remodel.
Start with Heat
Whether you're building a whole house or just adding a new bathroom, one of your first decisions has to be how you're going to heat the new space.
Benefits of Radiant Heat
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, radiant heat is more efficient than baseboard or forced air systems. Rather than just blowing hot air around the room in bursts, radiant systems slowly and steadily charge the floor with heat, keeping it where you want it, longer.
Hydronic Radiant Heat
Hydronic, or water-circulating, radiant systems are best for new construction or large additions. They come in many forms, for installation just below the subfloor between the joists, directly under tile or hardwood flooring, or even inside a concrete floor slab.
Electric Radiant Heat
Where you only need to heat a small space, like a bathroom, electric radiant heat is an easy luxury option. Electric radiant mats can be installed directly under tile and are ideal over a concrete subfloor. Set the timed thermostat to turn the system on only when you'll be using the room, like the morning when you shower, and it will use less than 15 cents of electricity per day. This way, you don't have to make room for ductwork or baseboard units when you add a bathroom.
On a cold winter morning, your toes will thank you for choosing radiant heat!

Nominated for a Hugo for Best Novel in 2007
"Blindsight is a tour de force, redefining the First Contact story for good. Peter Watts' aliens are neither humans in funny make-up nor incomprehensible monoliths beyond human comprehension - they're something new and infinitely more disturbing, forcing us to confront unpalatable possibilities about the nature of consciousness. It'll make your skin crawl when you stop to think about it. Strongly recommended: this may be the best hard SF read of 2006."
- Charles Stross
Burn won the 2007 Nebula for Best Novella.
"The warm humanity and rural sympathies of this affectionate winsome short novel will make many recall Ray Bradbury at his best" -- From Booklist
"James patrick Kelly's fine new short novel Burn combines maturity with the adventurous spirit of youth, as though the Mark Twain of Huckleberry Finn had come back with a yen to write science fiction." -- Faren Miller, Locus
Lewis Shiner is a two-time finalist for the Nebula (Frontera, Deserted Cities of the Heart), a finalist for the Philip K. Dick (Frontera), and won the World Fantasy award for Glimpses.
This collection of short works includes Soldier, Sailor, a "condensed novel" that grew up into Frontera - which was up against Gibson's Neuromancer in the 1984 Nebula awards.
Mayer Alan Brenner's "The Dance of Gods" series was published by DAW Books in the 1990s. A witty and intelligent science / fantasy crossover, Pratchett meets Zelazny meets Douglas Adams, it also
prefigures Charles Stross in interesting ways. The series follows a cluster of raffish characters through overlapping and colliding story lines in a wonderfully realized world.
"The humour was never farcical, always intelligent, but there was a certain madcap, slyness to it which I haven't experienced in fantasy for quite a while. Some scenes had me laughing out loud -- not good when traveling with a bunch of strangers, but a perfect remedy to Life..."
-- The Book Swede
Plot-lines collide and family secrets are revealed in the third book of Mayer Alan Brenner's "Dance of Gods" series. Originally published by DAW Books, the books are a witty and intelligent science / fantasy crossover.
"Ya gotta love a series with a hero named 'Maximillian the Vaguely Disreputable'. READ THIS SERIES, shouts your FAQmaker, it's fast and furious, and fun..." -- The Recommended Fantasy Author List
Tom Maddox is one of the original cyberpunk writers, this his first novel became a cyberpunk classic. Exploring AI, machine self awareness, virtual realities, and philosophy.
The plot thickens and larger issues may be at stake in the second book of Mayer Alan Brenner's "Dance of Gods" series. Originally published by DAW Books, the books are a witty and intelligent science / fantasy crossover.
"A winner ... I was utterly hooked. Its not a belly-laugh-inducing parody of a fantasy so much as an off-the-wall kind of fantasy in its own right..." --Interzone

Dearest Christie, Your room is beautiful with every single minute detail. This room is magazine gorgeous. The head and foot boards are perfect backgrounds for your sweet garland, I adore everything, but I'll pick a few favorites: The hutch that holds some items <3 the chunkiness, the stocking made from an old quilt, and the TJ Maxx nativity (who knew). Perfect, girl, I'd never want to leave. Hugs, Kim

When I first read this, I thought you did this room for your daughter and wondered how on earth did you keep white clean with a young child. Then I read closer and realized you fixed the room up for guests.
All your decorations are pretty and I love the simplicity and the red and white tradtional colors. My favorite though is the rocky horse with the simple bow.

Christy, my goodness, here I am thinking "I have to follow this one" because I simply love this room and I HAVE that same quilt on my own bed and I'm Swedish (well, my great grandparents on both sides came from Sweden and England anyway)... and I already do follow you! My kids are between 12 and 20 now but I have a few things I've saved up in the attic - their teddy bears, a child's rocker, and I think I'm going to bring down that rocker and put one of the teddy bears in it next to the tree this year! Here I thought I was saving it for grandchildren some day! Thanks so much for the inspiration. Stop by my blog sometime though I'm behind and don't have any Christmas decorating up yet (maybe I would if I wasn't spending so much time on all these gorgeous blogs instead!) :)

I had to pop over to this post...this bedroom is precious! I gained several ideas, as I have family silver baby spoons used 4 generations and my children's silver baby cup and rattle..you are so very clever, Young Christie! I also have the Danish bunny and 3 little ones, the wardrobe, ironing board and drying rack, bed and highchair. They "live" in my laundry room and come down to play when the grandchildren visit...I also enjoy seeing them as I do my laundry;))

Income Protection Plans
Maine Municipal Employees Health Trust Income Protection Plan
All permanent employees working 20 hours or more per week are eligible to purchase income protection through Maine Municipal Employees Health Trust (MMEHT). An employee has 60 days from date of hire to enroll without providing evidence of insurability (EOI). An EOI application is required for any employee wishing to enroll after 60 days or to upgrade coverage. Coverage is effective upon approval.
In the event of an accident or illness (not work-related), an employee is entitled to receive 40%, 55%, or 70% (depending upon their election) of their gross salary. Benefits are paid on a weekly basis and continue for a maximum of 52 weeks per disability. Benefit payments begin on the first day of an accident, the eighth day of an illness. Employees have 90 days to file claim paperwork.
Cost is $2.04 per $100 of coverage purchased. Income protection is paid for one month in advance and deductions are taken four weeks of each month (months in which there are five pay dates, no deduction on the fifth pay date). To calculate your costs, take your annual salary and round up to nearest dollar, then multiply by: .00017 for 40%, .00023375 for 55% and .0002975 for 70% of gross salary. Rate increases are effective January 1.
AFSCME Income Protection Plan
All permanent employees (AFSCME covered positions) working 20 hours per week are eligible to purchase income protection through AFSCME. Employees must be a member of the AFSCME union and paying dues to have this insurance. Please contact your union representative or AFSCME directly at 207-939-7087 for further information regarding costs and plan description.

So fun when friendos send me things that make them think of me (it's what happens when you're a crazy obsessive person over a SHAPE i guess) but I thought these were cool and should be shared. Thanks Tiffany!
This is on the verge of making me annoyed with Fashion crazes/fads...it's a half untucked shirt...I don't know...cute fad or just another way to wear a shirt?
And now for the weirdest thing I've read in awhile...there is this article called Working Out and Addiction - The Scary Connection on Refinery 29 which basically states that those of us who work out are more susceptible to addiction because when a study was done with coke addicts, one way to break their habit was introducing them to exercise. But it was hopeless if they already did it. WHAT?! So we should stop exercising RIGHT NOW in case someday we decide to become addicted to coke. I thought this should be a special alert.
Ok, have good days!

With the tentative agreement in place, and on the presumption that both sides ratify it, there are some big questions that need answering, some short term, some long term.
First up, is how will players who were unsigned RFA's under the old and expired CBA be treated under the new one. Some of those players have a significant amount of talent, and their hitting the free market and relocating could change the shape of the NHL. Michael Del Zotto and P.K. Subban are two blueliners who fit the bill, and Jaime Benn has stud written all over him up front.
Will the product that lands on the ice in three weeks or so be worth the wait? Some teams like the Minnesota Wild added a lot of new bodies on top of shuffling the roster running up to the trade deadline. With some players having played in Europe, some having played in the AHL, and others not at all, chemistry and fitness will vary far more widely than a normal early season game.
For markets that were struggling before this lockout, is it already too late? While all eyes have been on Phoenix since Atlanta went defunct, they are hardly the only team to struggle. The Blue Jackets may not be around to get their make up All Star game if they don't get fans to return to a Nash-less team. I don't recall as single season when both Florida teams made the playoffs. Then too there are the New York Islanders who could be playing in Brooklyn, Kansas City, Seattle or Quebec City in the next year or two. One can't forget that the New Jersey Devils who lost Zach Parise about the same time the lost the Stanley Cup were losing their shirt before anyone was convinced they would even make the playoffs.
Are either expansion or contraction a part of the current NHL CBA? With the proximity of the three New York and New Jersey teams, and two of them in financial peril, it might be prudent to combine two of them. Other teams could face being permanently shuttered as well. More exciting though is the idea of expanding to more Canadian and northern markets like Seattle or Portland, Madison or Green Bay, or Ann Arbor. The KHL hasn't been shy about expansion, and with the foothold they were allowed into North American minds by the lockout, expansions might be needed as a defensive measure as much as being market driven.

Report: Jonathan Martin done playing in 2013, ready to be done with Dolphins
Jonathan Martin still wants to play in the NFL, but it won't happen this year, and not with the Miami Dolphins, the team from which he's taken leave. ESPN reports the second-year offensive tackle is set to sit out the rest of the 2013 season. Martin also would like to return to playing in 2014, but doesn't see that happening back in Miami.
THIS JUST IN: Jonathan Martin likely done for year. Source tells @saltersl that Martin wants to play again but feels he can't in Miami.— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) November 11, 2013
Martin, who left the team in the wake of an incident in its cafeteria and has sought therapy far away in California, has been the center of media attention since there were allegeations he was harrassed by teammate Richie Incognito. Incognito, who is suspended indefinitely for the team while the league and the Dolphins look into the matter, admitted to making racist comments in messages with Martin in an interview with Fox Sports' Jay Glazer that aired on Sunday, but stopped short of saying what he did was "bullying."

Now that Incognito has made his public statement, Martin is expected to do so by video addressing the incident sometime this week.
