After eight months of steady gains, stock market volatility has again rocked investors this week, with a global sell-off triggered by the prospect of slower global economic growth and rising
After eight months of steady gains, stock market volatility has again rocked investors this week, with a global sell-off triggered by the prospect of slower global economic growth and rising bond yields. The S&P 500 fell nearly 7% in six days, bringing the index down to levels last seen in July.
When stock markets tremble, the advice from financial advisors is simple: Stick to your investment plan.
That's easier said than done. If your financial house is on fire, you want to fight the flames or flee as surely as if your actual home were ablaze, behavioral finance experts say. To stand back, watch and periodically throw more money on the bonfire is tough even for the most seasoned investor, let alone your average 401(k) holder.
'You'd think that a high-net-worth individual is more sophisticated, that they are not going to panic like an investor with $50,000 at stake? Not true,' says David Thomas Jr., founder and chief executive officer of Equitas Capital Advisors in New Orleans.
Still, Thomas says, 'You can be smarter than your emotions, but that's an acquired skill.'
Here are some ways to sidestep the natural emotional triggers that can be costly during the �next market correction or crash.Beware of 'market crash PTSD'
The last bout of volatility was during February's correction, in which the major indexes tumbled by more than 10%, troubling a market that in 2017 had enjoyed a five-decade low for wild moves. 'We've been lulled to sleep in a low-volatility market for quite a while, which was terrific, but now it's back " and that's normal,' Thomas says. 'Volatility does not equal recession.'
Sudden market turns have a way of stirring up memories of 2008's Great Recession, the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Market corrections and recessions are inevitable, but there's no reason to expect that a downturn of an equivalent magnitude is right around the corner.
'It's like people have PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder] from the credit crisis,' says Patricia Jennerjohn, a certified financial planner with Focused Finances in Oakland, California. 'The market starts to shake, and everyone thinks: 'Uh-oh, this is the big one!''
'The crisis was traumatic for many people, so anytime something happens that reminds them of that, all those feelings come right back up,' Jennerjohn adds.
� Read more: � Stock market crash versus a correctionIgnore your portfolio's peak
Humans are hardwired to feel drops in portfolio value more than equivalent gains, a phenomenon known as 'loss aversion.' So when you see the value of assets below their peak, the urge is to make moves to stanch the loss by selling. But really, �the smarter thing to do would be to hold " or even to purchase some more of these beaten-up stocks, a practice known as buying the dip.
'One thing I constantly scold clients on: You need to look where you are at now versus where you started " don't look at your peak,' Jennerjohn says. 'If you look and see, 'I'm down 2%,' that's the wrong perception.
'Look how much your portfolio has grown since you started " keep that in perspective.'Tune out financial news, panicky ads
When global markets drop, wall-to-wall coverage by the financial media creates a sense of impending doom. 'You'd think the world was ending,' says Wayne Maslyk, CEO of Great Lakes Benefits and Wealth Management in Sandusky, Ohio.
'In the past decade or so, especially with social media, news organizations have really figured out how to tease the amygdala,' the region of the brain that triggers the fight-or-flight response in humans, adds Thomas. 'Everything is a crisis.'
To protect your portfolio " and your sanity " advisors recommend not watching daily moves, but instead checking in monthly, quarterly or annually.
Amid troubling news reports, �investors also get hit with strident market pitches online. 'They start to see more scary emails and pop-up ads on the internet; clients can't seem to stop opening them,' �Maslyk says.
'There's always something touting, 'The guy who predicted the [financial crisis] is now saying this' " or to buy gold, or some guy's stock-trading newsletter,' �he says. 'That's what gets people to make the emotional, fearful decision to do something different and go off their plan. In many cases, they screw up and get hurt and it's hard to rebound.'Keep cash �in the market
The return of volatility once again raises concern the stock market finally will descend into bear territory, defined as a drop of at least 20% from the most recent high. Even though there have been five slumps in excess of 10% over the past nine years, U.S. stocks still are in the midst of the second-longest bull market in history.
'People are wondering, 'how long can this [bull market] last?'' Jennerjohn says. 'It's almost like a constant run of good luck at the gambling table and it's eventually going to turn on you.'
'This scares clients from putting money in the market because they're convinced the day after they put it in, there will be a 20% correction,' Jennerjohn says. 'And then five months later it could have gotten an 8% gain if they hadn't sat on the cash.'
During periods of volatility, in the long term it can pay to keep calm and invest on.

When a friend of my mom's asked her about "that thing all women can do, and some men," it turned out he meant hanging your sunglasses off the collar of your shirt. But when my husband talks about "that thing all girls know" he means hand jives (otherwise known as clapping games, hand games, handclaps, etc.). I think he was very struck by the time my friend Emily and I, two grown women in our late 20s who did not grow up together, launched into the very complicated hand motions associated with the "ooh, ah, want a piece of pie" rhyme with no prior discussion.
What's interesting to me, though, is that all girls know hand jives but almost no two know them the same. For instance, I thought of this fluff idea because I woke up with what this website calls "uno, dos-ee-a-say" stuck in my head, only we used to do it "uno dos-ee-a-mo." And when I went to look up the "ooh, ah, want a piece of pie" rhyme I found all sorts of funky variations. What were your rhymes? Let's compare notes.
Below the fold, a few of my favorites to start us off.
ABC, easy as 123, my mama takes care of me
Ooh, ah, want a piece of pie
Pie too sweet, want a piece of meat
Meat too tough, wanna ride a bus
Bus too full, wanna ride a bull
Bull too black, want my money back
Money back too green, want a jellybean
Jellybean not red, wanna go to bed
Bed not made, want some lemonade
Lemonade too sour, wanna take a shower
Shower too cold, want a piece of gold
Gold too shiny, so kiss my hiney
Hiney too fat and that is that.
I am a pretty little Dutch girl, as pretty as can be
And all the boys all around the block are crazy over me
My boyfriend's name is Fatso
He comes from Cincinetto (?)
He's got pickles on his toes and a cherry on his nose
That's the way my story goes
My mother told me
If I was good-ie
Then she would get me
A rubber dolly
But someone told her
I kissed a soldier
So I won't get my
Rubber dolly
Go to the river, jump in
Sink to the bottom, the end
Say say my playmate
Come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three
Climb up my apple tree
Slide down my rainbow
Into my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends forevermore, more, shut the door
Say say my enemy
Come out and fight with me
And bring your weapons three
Climb up my poison tree
Slide down my razorblade
Into my dungeon door
And we'll be enemies forevermore, more, shut the door
Miss Lucy had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell
Miss Lucy went to heaven
The steamboat went to…
Hello Operator
Please give me Number Nine
And if you disconnect me
I will kick you from…
Behind the 'frigerator
There was a piece of glass
Miss Lucy sat upon it
And broke her big fat…
Ask me no more questions
I'll tell you no more lies
The boys are in the bathroom
Zipping up their…
Flies are in the meadow
The bees are in the park
Miss Lucy and her boyfriend
Are kissing in the D-A-R-K D-A-R-K dark dark
Dark is like a movie
A movie's like a show
A show is like a TV show and that is all I know
I know my mother
I know I know my pa
I know I know my sister with the 40-acre bra [incidentally, almost sure this is a corruption of something like "48-D bra"]

Elisa Spiropali joined MJAFT in 2006 and has since become the movement's Policy Director in the second generation of leaders after the founders left in 2007. Like other MJAFT activists she has studied and worked abroad. She completed her undergraduate degree at Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts where she obtained a BA in Politics and Economics, and is now doing her Master's at the University of Sussex.
In New York, Elisa worked for a public interest law firm active in the fields of civil rights and foster care reform. She was also an analyst for a think tank in Pristina, the Kosovo Stability Initiative (IKS). In 2004 she worked for the Center for Social and Legal Studies in Buenos Aires, where she conducted interviews with survivors of the military dictatorship.
In early June 2007 protests and strikes broke out in the Bulqiza mine in Northeastern Albania. Workers in the ferrochrome mines went on strike demanding better working conditions and better pay. The situation was exacerbated when two miners, Hysni Lezi and Avni Durici lost their lives in an accident on June 11th . This was by no means an isolated incident.. On June 25th 2007 21 miners went on hunger strike. MJAFT! identified with the miners' predicament and was active in organising demonstrations in Tirana.
Elisa Spiropali in Bulqiza
Elisa describes MJAFT's involvement:
"We heard about the miners' protest, which had been decided on the first of June, and then of course we heard of the tragic death of two of the miners: they broke the protest and then they went to work, I believe on the 11th of June and two of them died inside the mine.
So that really stirred a lot of emotion in the people at Mjaft but we didn't yet know the situation that well. We were not in contact with the people there… so we decided to come to Bulqiza, and see for ourselves what the conditions for the miners were like, what the protest was about, what their requests were, and why they were not being heard. So we came here and what we found was a very, very sad situation of very poor working and living conditions. We found miners who were working on the 17th level in the mine and were being paid, what we believe is a ridiculous amount, compared to the price, the value of the chrome and of the work that they do.
So we saw their living conditions and we were not only touched but we felt that there was something really wrong with the way things were going. Something was wrong with the concession with the firm, the private firm, and also with the government institutions that were supposed to take care of working conditions as well as to negotiate wages with the workers and the syndicates that are their representatives.
Elisa Spiropali in Bulqiza
So we decided to fully support the organisation and the planning of the miners' protest in Tirana. The miners had organised here before, but their voices were really distant, unheard in Tirana. We decided to have them come closer."
And we needed to come back there, you know, twice to get the miners' trust and also to have a chance of bringing them to Tirana. But there were problems of logistics, there were problems of money. Many of the miners had to go into debt and get money, to be able to come to Tirana. We had three busses organised for free, we had managed to do that, to get the busses to come to Bulqiza, get the miners, and come to Tirana. We then had to plan with the confederation that helped them and deal with all the institutions where they were going to protest: the ministry of economy, the ministry of work, and social issues, and also the prime minister's office.
The miners slept two nights in Tirana's streets, and we organised camps for them, we organised sleeping places. It was hard having miners stay in Tirana, with no means of support, with no hotels. We stayed with them, you know, during the evening, during the night, and organised camping places. All the time we kept asking the media and the TV stations to come and to cover the event. This would make the public voice much stronger, the public voice and our opinion would be a much stronger one. The miners' protest coincided with the election of the president, the negotiations for the elections of the president, so it was hard to get the public attention that we needed.
This was a problem at first, but then, when the government, the politicians and the company saw that the miners were determined to carry their protest on to the end, and that we were determined to support them to the end, I think the public opinion just shifted, attention shifted. All of a sudden there was not only the issue of the politicians choosing their president, but also an issue that needed to be resolved, with a specific group of people, with specific needs, living under harsh conditions.
At the end, the miners were able to enter into negotiations with the company…I feel kind of lucky, having being present during the negotiations because it was an important time, an important turn, the issues came upfront. They were able to articulate their problems directly to the administration, to the owner of the company. […]
To get an answer back so quickly, to be able to resolve that issue right there and open the space for negotiations, was not the end. The workers need to have their union organised, continue with their struggle, have negotiations with the company to get to the point where they feel there is communication.
Elisa Spiropali in Bulqiza
There used to be no communication, the miners were never heard before. This broke something, you know, it increased their self-consciousness, it increased their, not only their desire, but their opportunity to change things in the future.
And that was very emotional for all of us, the Mjaft people. We went out…, people were so happy, we had a celebration at the Mjaft offices. We brought drinks and sat outside while people were filming us. There was a strong, close feeling between the miners and the Mjaft movement. Of course there were critics, there always are, but at the end I think that self-consciousness has increased and that's the most important thing."

This track was released in 1989 — the year when CD singles exploded into the market. Being a fan of Man 2 Man's 1986 Male Stripper track, Action simply succeeded Male Stripper in some ways. The bassline alone is New York's best, kicking you hard in the chest with a heavy thud. It pounds you in repeated-steps. Watch out, baby!
Man 2 Man were two brothers: Paul Zone and Miki Zone. After Miki's death, Paul changed the name of Man To Man. The following information is taken from Paul Zone's MySpace page…
Brothers Paul Zone, Miki Zone & Armand Zone formed The Fast in the mid 70s somewhere between glam & punk and soon became an integral part of the Max's/CBGB scene along side Blondie & The Ramones with their blend of power pop & garage punk. As Man 2 Man, Paul & Miki went on to composed, produced & perform songs that would come to define an era in 80s Euro dance/pop and their club sensation "Male Stripper" became a 1 pop hit throughout Europe, Austalia, South America & Mexico.
In 1983 they recorded a few tracks with the first Fast producer Bobby Orlando (one being an early version of Male Stripper) and got bookings in bigger dance clubs like The Fun House, Limelight & The Saint in New York City and at Heaven in London. At this time they started calling themselves Man 2 Man, recorded self produced 12inch dance singles and would have popular chart topping club hits world wide by 1985. They continued as a live act, touring alongside Sylvester & Divine in clubs and venues holding up to 5000 people in the UK, South America & Mexico. A self produced, re-recording of Male Stripper was released as a b-side in 1986 and DJ's around the world fliped the record over and it shot to number 1 on the dance charts. In March of 1987 Male Stripper went on to become a break out, cross over number 1 pop hit and landed them on the most important music TV show in Europe, "Top Of The Pops" in England. Man 2 Man singles "Male Stripper", "I Need A Man", "Energy Is Eurobeat", "Who Knows What Evil?" & "These Boots Are Made For Walkin" all hit the pop charts in the UK and "At The Gym" became a hit in France with help from Village People producer Jaques Morali. Man 2 Man toured the World for the remainder of the 80s and retired in 1990 and haven't released new recordings or performed live since.

9 months (3 months pilot study, 6 months PFI review)
Chapters 1-3, part of 4, brief discussion of remaining chapters
Lead agency
Ministry of Investment, General Authority for Investment and Free Zones
OECD Investment Committee
OECD Global Forum on International Investment, Istanbul, 2006
|OECD Investment Policy Review of Egypt
Adherence to the OECD Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises
Follow up
Report to OECD Investment Committee on progress in reforms one year after adherence
The PFI process
Egypt was the first country to conduct a formal investment policy review based on the PFI. By volunteering to be the PFI's 'pilot case study', Egypt provided useful feedback to the OECD for developing guidelines on using the PFI. The review also allowed Egypt to showcase its Investment Climate Reform Strategy. The PFI assessment involved several stages, beginning first with an independent self-evaluation and then turning to a broader, more in-depth assessment in collaboration with the OECD.
An initial scoping study was undertaken based on the first three chapters of the PFI: investment policy; investment promotion and facilitation; and trade policy. The process took only three months so as to be able to present the results at the 2006 Global Forum on International Investment. The presentation based on the PFI allowed the Egyptian government to highlight recent reforms in areas covered in the first three PFI chapters, as well as to point out areas, such as dispute settlement, which continued to present challenges.
A second, more complete assessment was conducted jointly with the OECD in the context of Egypt's adherence to the OECD Declaration and Decisions on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises. The second PFI assessment took six months and covered the first three chapters, together with some questions related to Competition Policy (Chapter 4) and a selective discussion of the remaining chapters. The results were examined by the OECD Investment Committee as part of the adherence process and published as an OECD Investment Policy Review.
The Declaration provides both rights and responsibilities for Egypt. Egyptian firms now enjoy national treatment in signatory countries, and other adherents are to encourage their multinational enterprises operating in Egypt to contribute to economic, social and environmental progress. It now participates in the OECD Investment Committee work and contribute to ongoing OECD projects, as well as joining in discussions on freedom of investment.
At the same time, Egypt commits to providing national treatment to foreign investors and to promoting responsible international business conduct. The OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises are an integral part of the Declaration and are a code of conduct for responsible international business operations in and from Egypt and the other 40 adherent countries. As part of the Guidelines, Egypt set up a National Contact Point in 2008 within the Ministry of Investment reporting directly to the Minister and responsible for promoting observance of the Guidelines and for helping to make the Guidelines better known to business, labour and civil society.
The PFI assessment was conducted at a time when Egypt had already undertaken substantial reforms to improve the investment climate, including efforts to reduce and streamline administrative procedures, the initiation of a privatisation programme, a major reform of the tax system, and the establishment of a new ministry in July 2004 specifically responsible for investment policy. Investment has been encouraged through non-discriminatory investment policies, a pro-active strategy of investment promotion, emphasising the role of government as a service provider rather than as a regulator, a drastic reduction of trade impediments to capital imports, streamlining of previously cumbersome and costly customs procedures, and the adoption of a competition law and the establishment of a dedicated competition authority.

Somehow everything has become less complex; what we cook has become more about the quality and heritage of what we source and the way we marry flavours in a more down to earth, robust style. There are classic combinations that have been in use in the kitchen for decades, even hundreds of years, but it is the paring back of these things that is shaping what we serve at the dinner table more than ever.
The traditional roast leg of lamb we might have had a few years back has now become a slow-braised shoulder; we still, however, serve it with its bedfellows of either a home made mint sauce, Shrewsbury, or redcurrant jelly. I might now though, as with last year, add a spoonful of so to the gravy for a hint of sweetness.
Some things can't be messed with though. You can't better a roast potato, one of the finest culinary inventions in my book. Another great tradition that must not be forgotten is Simnel cake, the moreish, dark fruit cake enriched with marzipan. This recipe comes from one of my favourite London gastropubs, The Coach and Horses in Farringdon.

Taylor DesRosiers was a competitive swimmer throughout her life, always fit. But in her first year of medical school, she realized that had changed — she was at an unhealthy weight.
The rigors of her education had piled on top of two rough years in which she went through a broken-off engagement and supporting her mother through a health scare. During a course on obesity, she realized, according to body mass index charts, she was technically obese herself.
"It just kind of hit me: I need to make a large change," DesRosiers said.
She had some support in doing that: Two fellow Hopkins students recently launched the Patient Promise, a program that aims to ensure health professionals do as they tell patients when it comes to healthy lifestyles. It is one of many similar programs to arise in the industry as health professionals seek to tackle rising obesity rates nationwide by starting with themselves.
Research has shown that healthy lifestyle choices on the part of physicians can translate into better care for obese patients. That care is important as the health industry seeks to tackle the rising costs of care, particularly for many chronic conditions that can stem from obesity.
About 36 percent of adults in the U.S. are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control. For an 5-foot-4-inch adult, a weight above 174 pounds is considered obese, while a 5-foot-9-inch person weighing 203 or more would qualify, for example. Obesity-related conditions like heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some types of cancer are among the leading causes of death.
Hopkins students Shiv Gaglani and David Gatz started talking about the idea behind the Patient Promise early this year, realizing that their career choices were taking a toll on their health.
"Our own healthy-lifestyle behaviors were going out the window," Gaglani said, given time spent sedentary in classes or studying and busy schedules leaving little room for exercise or healthy cooking. "It's sort of a sacrificial career. By sacrificing our own health, we would become potentially less effective as clinicians because we wouldn't be credible."
The pair got about a dozen students together, including DesRosiers, to draft the Patient Promise, and they launched it in June. Within a few weeks, 300 medical professionals and students across the country had signed it, and the organizers plan to raise that to a few thousand eventually.
The organizers are urging signers to form chapters at their own medical institutions to promote accountability to the promise.
For DesRosiers, it meant losing 30 pounds as she focused more on exercising and eating right, training for a triathlon and running a "Tough Mudder" race along the way.
Others have similar ambitions — and similar hurdles. Hershaw Davis, a nurse in the emergency department at Johns Hopkins Hospital, is striving to lose 50 to 60 pounds as part of the American Nurses Association's Healthy Nurse program.
Working in the emergency room, 12-hour weekend overnight shifts often means little chance for healthy eating choices, Davis said. The few food options available at 4 a.m. are often greasy, but tempting.
"Hopkins has put healthy options in the vending machines, but it's still easy to pick a candy bar," Davis said.
That's why the nurses association is seeking to empower its members to be role models for patients, said Suzy Harrington, the association's director of health, safety and wellness.
"We are human; we have the same obesity issues," Harrington said. While habits like tobacco use are rare among nurses, nutrition and fitness are a challenge, and the association is also seeking to promote habits like regular mammograms and use of sunscreen, bicycle helmets and seat belts.
At the University of Maryland Medical Center, staff are promoting a "Step Up to Good Health" program that includes promoting regular walks and "biggest loser" contests, making it easier for staff to bike to work, and encouraging staff to visit a Tuesday farmer's market outside the hospital for fresh fruit and vegetables, said Christine Byerly, a registered nurse there.
A study the Hopkins students cited as a foundation for the Patient Promise shows the value of such behaviors benefits more than medical staff. Published in the research journal Obesity in January, the research found that physicians were more likely to initiate a weight loss conversation with a patient if the physician weighed no more, or less, than the patient.
Health professionals are hopeful those findings apply to more than just physicians, and that they prompt patients to make similar strides in weight loss.
"I feel very comfortable now saying to Mr. So-and-so, 'You seem to be struggling with your weight; let's have a conversation about that. I understand your struggle,'" DesRosiers said. "It fortifies trust in the patient-physician relationship."
The Patient Promise
The pledge aims to promote healthy lifestyles among medical professionals. Its tenets include promises to:
Engage in regular physical activity
Consume a balanced and nutritious diet
Refrain from the use of harmful substances
Diminish personal stressors
Guard against prejudices against patients based on unhealthy behaviors
Respect the beliefs and traditions patients may have that affect their health

text: Monday, August 26, 2013 September 23 HIPAA Deadline Approaches Practitioners have until September 23 to comply with provisions of the final rule that earlier this year extensively modified the privacy, security, and enforcement regulations established under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA. The final rule expanded many of the requirements to business associates of covered entities that receive protected health information, such as contractors and subcontractors. If a covered entity did not have a business associate agreement in place by January 25 this year that was compliant with the previous HIPAA regulations, it must enter into one by September 23. However, entities that did have HIPAA-compliant business agreements place as of January 25 may get a 1-year extension to revise their agreements, as long as they did not or do not renew those agreements between March 26 (the date the new rule took effect) and September 23. Any agreement that is renewed after September 23 must comply with the new rule, which also increases the penalties for noncompliance to a maximum of $1.5 million per violation. The changes also strengthen the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Breach Notification requirements by clarifying when breaches of unsecured health information must be reported to HHS. The new rule also expands individual rights under HIPAA, and by September 23 these rights must be added to the Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) that providers give to new patients. For example, patients can ask for a copy of their electronic medical record in an electronic form, and they can instruct their provider to restrict disclosures to a health plan concerning treatment for which the individual has paid out of pocket in full. The rule also sets new limits on how information is used and disclosed for marketing and fundraising purposes and prohibits the sale of individuals' health information without their permission. Association members can access the document on the Health Information Technology webpage under "APTA Summaries" and APTA's HIPAA webpage. Comments This concern/request about HIPAA is not related to the above notice, but I don't know who to present this HIPAA 'problem' to. The Problem: HIPAA prevents parents of for children older than 14 years, or adult 'dependents' who are <18 yrs. old but still on their parent's health insurance plan from getting healthcare related information on the 'dependent' unless the 'dependent' signs a release of information, yet the parents are responsible for the bills AND have to pay w/o knowing what procedures were done and why. (We went through this when our younger daughter was dealing with mental health issues. The provider wanted to be paid but couldn't 'talk' to us about the bills until our then 14 year-old daughter signed a release). I know when someone is older than 18, they are 'adult' but it makes the medical bills a nightmare when the payer does not have permission to 'see' the records. I believe that any person legally responsible to pay a medical bill for another person should also be automatically allowed FULL access to the medical records for the services they are paying for-including co-pays and deductible payments. The dependent person should understand that part of being 'dependent' is allowing the responsible party full access to information.

Big Papi gets breather, enters as pinch-hitter
Farrell inserts Sizemore in leadoff spot; Middlebrooks to have MRI on calf
BOSTON -- Designated hitter David Ortiz was not in the Red Sox lineup for Saturday night's game against Brewers right-hander Wily Peralta, but it was a planned off-day, manager John Farrell said.
"Looking at the schedule, the late-night travel, [Friday's] situation, so we've got to -- with all of our players -- just rotate guys through," Farrell said.
Ortiz had been in the starting lineup for the club's first four games. He has been dealing with a tight right calf muscle since Spring Training. But, that is not the primary reason for the off-day, according to Farrell.
"I think he deals with a little bit of tightness from time to time, but as much as anything, this was more of a planned down day," Farrell said.
Through the first four games, Ortiz was batting .353 (6-for-17) with a home run and three RBIs. He went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's home opener -- a 6-2 loss to the Brewers. He entered Saturday night's 7-6 loss to the Brewers as a pinch-hitter in the ninth and grounded out.
In the original lineup, Mike Napoli was the designated hitter, batting fourth, with Mike Carp playing first base and batting fifth. However, Carp was scratched with lower back tightness, moving Daniel Nava from left field to first and giving Jonny Gomes the start in left. Nava hit third, with Gomes in the No. 6 slot. Just before the game, Will Middlebrooks was removed from the lineup. Jonathan Herrera got the start at third and batted eighth. Middlebrooks is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Sunday morning for a right calf strain.
Grady Sizemore led off for the Red Sox. It's a slot he's familiar with -- 3,319 of his 4,059 career plate appearances have been in the No. 1 spot. In his first three games with the Red Sox, though, he hit in the six-hole. Sizemore is a career .274 hitter, with a .366 on-base and .488 slugging percentage batting leadoff, but hasn't hit at the top of the lineup since Sept. 8, 2011, while with the Indians.
Sizemore entered Saturday hitting .300 (3-for-10) with a home run and two walks. In the loss to Milwaukee, he went 0-for-4 with a walk and scored a run.
"He's obviously gotten on base here with some regularity in a spot where he's been familiar with his entire career," Farrell said. "He'll just give us a little bit of a spark at the top of the lineup.
"Just the way he's responding to games played, the aggressiveness in which he's running the bases, the frequency he's getting on base, all the above puts him in the spot tonight."
Sizemore had been out of baseball since Sept. 22, 2011, because of injuries. The Sox have said they would monitor him this season. On Friday, Farrell suggested Sizemore would play Saturday and possibly get Sunday off. Farrell is not concerned about the possibility of an extra at-bat on Saturday.
"We'll continue to monitor how he comes out of each and every game, and see where the best spot is for he and for our lineup," Farrell said.

The next day arises, by much the most agreeable to all: for Plotius, and Varius, and Virgil met us at Sinuessa; souls more candid ones than which the world never produced, nor is there a person in the world more bound to them than myself. 0h what embraces, and what transports were there! While I am in my senses, nothing can I prefer to a pleasant friend. The village, which is next adjoining to the bridge of Campania, accommodated us with lodging [at night]; and the public officers1 with such a quantity of fuel and salt as they are obliged to [by law]. From this place the mules deposited their pack-saddles at Capua betimes [in the morning]. Maecenas goes to play [at tennis]; but I and Virgil to our repose: for to play at tennis is hurtful to weak eyes and feeble constitutions. From this place the villa of Cocceius, situated above the Caudian inns, which abounds with plenty, receives us. Now, my muse, I beg of you briefly to relate the engagement between the buffoon Sarmentus and Messius Cicirrus; and from what ancestry descended each began the contest. The illutrious race of Messius-Oscan:2 Sarmentus's mistress is still alive. Sprung from such families as these, they came to the combat. First, Sarmentus: "I pronounce thee to have the look of a mad horse." We laugh; and Messius himself [says], "I accept your challenge:" and wags his head. "O!" cries he, "if the horn were not cut off your forehead, what would you not do; since, maimed as you are, you bully at such a rate?" For a foul scar has disgraced the left part of Messius's bristly forehead. Cutting many jokes upon his Campanian disease, and upon his face, he desired him to exhibit Polyphemus's dance:3 that he had no occasion for a mask, or the tragic buskins. Cicirrus [retorted] largely to these: he asked, whether he had consecrated his chain4 to the household gods according to his vow; though he was a scribe, [he told him] his mistress's property in him was not the less. Lastly, he asked, how lie ever came to run away; such a lank meager fellow, for whom a pound of corn [a-day] would be ample.5 We were so diverted, that we continued that supper to an unusual length. Hence we proceed straight on for Beneventum; where the bustling landlord almost burned himself, in roasting some lean thrushes: for, the fire falling through the old kitchen [floor], the spreading flame made a great progress toward the highest part of the roof. Then you might have seen the hungry guests and frightened slaves snatching their supper out [of the flames], and every body endeavoring to extinguish the fire. After this Apulia began to discover to me her well-known mountains, which the Atabulus scorches [with his blasts]: and through which we should never have crept, unless the neighboring village of Trivicus had received us, not without a smoke that brought tears into our eyes; occasioned by a hearth's burning some green boughs with the leaves upon them. Here, like a great fool as I was, I wait till midnight for a deceitful mistress: sleep, however, overcomes me, while meditating love; and disagreeable dreams make me ashamed of myself and every thing about me.
1 "Parochi" . Before the consulship of Lucius Posthumius, the magistrates of Rome traveled at the public charge, without being burthensome to the provinces. Afterward commissaries were appointed in all the great roads to defray all expenses of those who were employed in the business of the state. They were obliged, by the Lex Julia de provinciis, to provide lodging, fire, salt, hay, straw, etc.
2 "Osci" is a nominative case, and we must construe it, Osci sunt clarum genus Messii. The Oscans gave to Messius his illustrious birth, a sufficient proof that he was an infamous scoundrel. The people who inhabited this part of Campania were guilty of execrable debaucheries.
3 "Saltaret uti Cyclopa. " The raillery is founded on his gigantic size, and the villainous gash that Messius had on his forehead, which made him look so like a Polyphemus, that he might dance the part without buskins or a mask. To dance a Cyclops, a Glaucus, a Ganymede, a Leda, was an expression for representing their story by dancing.
4 "Donasset iamne catenam." Only the vilest slaves, or those who worked in the country, were chained. It appears by an epigram of Martial, that when they were set at liberty, they consecrated their chains to Saturn, because slavery was unknown under his reign. But when Messius asks Sarmentus whether he had dedicated his chain to the "Dii Lares", he would reproach him with being a fugitive. These gods were invoked by travelers, because they presided over highways, from whence they were called "viales". They themselves were always represented like travelers, as if they were ready to leave the house; "succincti". Or Sarmentus was a slave so vile that he knew no other gods, but those who stood on the hearth, and which it was his employment to keep clean.
5 By the laws of the twelve tables, a slave was allowed a pound of corn a day. ""Qui eum vinctum habebit, libras farris in dies dato.""

New London police chief to retire, blames city councilor
New London - Police Chief Margaret Ackley announced Wednesday that she will retire and accused Councilor Michael Buscetto III of discrimination, harassment and trying to undermine her authority with some members of the police department.
"Because of the ongoing distress caused by Councilor Buscetto, I'm requesting to retire,'' Ackley told the City Council during a special meeting.
After meeting in an executive session to discuss a lawsuit Ackley is threatening against the city, the council directed City Attorney Thomas Londregan to hire a private investigator to investigate the validity of the chief's accusations.
Ackley told the council that Buscetto, who is one of three city councilors running for mayor this fall, has "systematically" created a hostile work environment for her, made inflammatory remarks about her and called her subordinates directly after being told not to.
"I am no longer able to effectively lead this department,'' she said during Wednesday's meeting. "Today, I make my choice. I will not tolerate it any longer."
Ackley's lawyer, Shelley Graves, also presented Londregan with a letter with a list of claims that would form the basis of the lawsuit. Londregan refused to release the letter, saying state Freedom of Information laws don't require it.
Buscetto said he welcomed any investigation into the chief's allegations.
"It's truly unfortunate the chief feels this way,'' Buscetto said. "And she chose the City Council as her stage.''
He said there have been no formal complaints made against him.
"Anyone can come up here and make accusations. And some are not all true, as you all know,'' he said.
During the meeting, Buscetto extensively questioned the chief's retirement agreement, including her pension benefits and the amount of compensation time she is claiming.
The council voted 6-1 to discuss the pending litigation in a closed-door meeting, which Londregan said is allowed under the Freedom of Information laws. Deputy Mayor John Russell voted against it.
"I think it should all be out in the open,'' Russell said.
Graves asked that Buscetto not attend the executive session.
But Buscetto said he was going to "politely decline the gracious offer not to attend.''
Londregan told the council it cannot force a person to recuse himself.
"You cannot make an elected official not participate,'' he said.
Earlier in the year, Ackley went to City Manager Denise Rose and said she wanted to retire in August. Rose asked her to wait until after the November election to maintain stability in the police department during the transition from the city manager form of government to elected mayor.
A "memorandum of understanding" between the two included a confidentiality clause. Londregan said the city manager and police chief wanted to keep the retirement agreement private until after the election to ensure a smooth transition.
Ackley and Rose agreed to waive the confidentiality clause, and the agreement was made public at the meeting Wednesday.
(Corrected from the original version of this story):
Under the agreement, which Londregan said is binding even though the council had no knowledge of it until earlier this month, Ackley would be paid $64,616 when she retires in January. She would give up about 2,500 hours of compensation time, saving the city about $200,000. The city would pay 50 percent of her insurance costs until she is eligible for Medicare and make a one-time payment to her pension of $10,000.
Without the agreement, if Ackley were to retire Aug. 31, the city would pay her about $239,667 for unused vacation, holiday and comp time. If she were to retire in January, with no agreement in place, the city would pay her $276,011.

James Carlson wrote:As mentioned in Tim Printy's most recent edition of his newsletter, SUNlite, Paul Kimball has republished his article discussing Robert Salas' Malmstrom AFB claims in the cointext of Salas' "confession" that he was abducted by a UFO in 1985. It's very much on point and asks a number of questions regarding credibility.
Appreciate that you've posted my thoughts on the Oscar Flight affair, as well as providing links to my blog site.
I found the opening of your post interesting that Mars could have played a roll in the security teams visual observations. That's all very well from a theoretical point of view, if it could be proven that the security personnel did in fact see and report something to Salas and Meiwald. There is nothing to support that such a thing happened other than what both officers stated some decades later. And, of course, both officers perceived different things on the night in question. Both were ignorant of each others story until years later when Salas had interviewed Meiwald for his book "Faded Giant". Thus one of the many morphing of the story.
Added to all of the above that after 45 years none of the security team members have ventured forth to confirm the story. With a minimum of 8 individuals topside, you would think that at least one of them would have come forward to verify the story. As of now, no one has come forward.
Recently, Salas had disclosed (Paul Kimball via Billy Cox?) that he had undergone hypnosis in the mid 1980s to help recall certain aspects of the incident, as well as claiming that he was abducted by aliens. I believe this further puts a stake in the heart of credibility in my opinion. Canadian viewers were not privy to that tid bit of info, were they?
From my stand point, Salas' claims stretches coherence to the nth degree and more and more moves into the realm of total confabulation or...an elaborate hoax was perpetrated on him while out in the field that day.
Again, thanks for the post, its much appreciated.

Second Charger
Second Charger
Yep caught that at the last minute when finalizing so decided to throw in the twin charger. Even with no "home" to charge my car I figure >40amp public chargers are bound to start popping up and sooner or later I'll probably end up with Wall Charger. Just hope I'm right and it doesn't end up being an unused accessory for me.
For more than double the price.
Where are you seeing that? I'm looking at shop.teslamotors.com, and I don't see it under either "Functional" or "Accessories."
But the price also includes installation, which I would guess would be more involved than putting it in during the factory process.
Thanks. This is bizarre. I have been after them for months to install a second charger, and all I got was, "we're waiting for guidance from HQ." Now it shows up along with tire chains, etc.
Plan a cross-Canada trip on the Sun Country route; 70A all the way! Paid for by site hotels, restaurants, etc.

I am generally interested in understanding the mechanisms that generate and maintain species diversity. The methods I use are integrative, combining field-based behavioral studies, population genetics, GIS-based ecological modeling, and acoustic analysis.
Conservation genetics of Whales: In the late 1800's over-hunting of whales caused significant population declines in many species. Genetic tools can be used to estimate pre-whaling population sizes and such estimates may help inform current management. As a postdoctoral research in the Palumbi lab, I am helping to estimate historical population sizes of N. Atlantic Humpback whales using genetic data.
Migration and speciation: The role that differences in migratory behavior play in maintaining and/or promoting divergence between closely related groups of birds is unknown. As a Ph.D. student in Craig Moritz's lab, I sought to address this question by focusing on how differences in migratory pathways, wintering locations and arrival times on the breeding grounds influenced gene flow between subspecies of Swainson's Thrush (Catharus ustulatus and C. swainsoni).
Conservation genetics of Nearctic-Neotropical migratory songbirds: Over the last several decades many songbird species have experienced precipitous population declines. Developing conservations strategies requires knowledge of where populations, breed, winter and stop-over during migration. In collaboration with the Tom Smith at Center for Tropical Research at UCLA and Jeff Kelly at the Oklahoma Biological Survey, I have helped develop genetic and isotopic markers to track populations of Swainson's Thrush throughout the annual cycle.
Ecology and evolution of birdsong: Factors driving the evolution of vocal diversity in oscine passerines remain unclear. In collaboration with Hans Slabbekoorn at Leiden University in the Netherlands, I have been investigating the relative importance of ecological versus genetic factors in driving the evolution of song in Swainson's Thrush.>

One of the best known Roald Dahl books is getting a musical adaptation coming to Milton Keynes Theatre.
Fantastic Mr Fox runs from Tuesday March 7 to Saturday March 11 at the venue.
Boggis, Bunce and Bean, three greedy, smelly, horrid farmers hate the cunning Mr Fox.
Mr Fox is smart, clever and rather fantastic, but he doesn't realise how determined the farmers are to get revenge.
Can he hatch a plan to save his family and friends? Can they outrun the diggers and outsmart the farmers, and can rabbit shut up long enough not to give the game away?
It is a juicy tale of greed, pride and the power of friendship, this flagship production for the Roald Dahl centenary celebrations, promises a dahlicious theatrical feast with live music and songs and gloriumptious designs.
The book was first published in 1970 and is one of many famous books written by the Welsh author who would be 100 were he alive today.
Adding writing to his bow, Doctor Who and Broadchurch actor Arthur Darvill has put down the scripts and picked up some instruments to write the songs for the musical. He is best known for playing Rory Williams in the sci-fi drama and Rev Paul Coates in the ITV crime show about to return for its third series.
The show comes to Milton Keynes as part of a UK wide tour which started in Southampton over the Christmas period.
Playing the title role is Greg Barnett who's previous work includes Swallows and Amazons, Zorro, Peter Pan, Twelfth Night and Sweeney Todd in both WestEnd and touring productions.
Tickets for the show cost from £14. The show runs at various times throughout the week long run,
For further information or to book tickets in advance call the box office on 0844 871 7652 or visit www.atgtickets.co.uk/miltonkeynes.

Ostfriesen Genealogy Society of
America Biennial Conference
Immigration history traces back to Logan County
in 1850
Send a link to a friend
[June 05, 2014]
The Ostfriesen Genealogy Society of
American (OGSA) will hold its next biennial conference at Crowne
Plaza Hotel & Suites, Minneapolis airport- Mall of America,
Minneapolis, Minnesota. from August 3, 2014 to August 6, 2014. All
Ostfriesens or those interested in genealogy are invited to attend.
Ostfriesland is a small region of Germany within the German state
of Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony). The approximate borders of
Ostfriesland are the Netherlands to the west, south to Papenburg,
east to Oldenburg and the North Sea. The largest city in
Ostfriesland is Emden. Other important cities are Aurich, Leer,
Esens, Jever, Norden, and Wittmund.
Many families who emigrated from that area in the 1850-1860's
settled in several counties in central Illinois including Tazewell,
Woodford, Logan, McLean ,Champaign, Adams, Hancock, Brown,
Champaign, Iroquois, and Vermilion counties. Those who came to
south central Illinois settled primarily in Macoupin, Madison and
Montgomery counties. A book entitled "We Will Go to a New Land", The
Great East Frisian Migration to America 1845-1895 by Robert H
Behrens provides historical information on a county by county basis
of the settlement experience and biographical sketches of many early
The conference will include plenary speaker, Timothy Fehler, a
noted Ostfriesen historian from Furman University, content rich
concurrent sessions, and visiting German citizens. Courses include a
short course called "Ostfriesen Genealogy 101" to assist those who
are new to Ostfriesen genealogy. Ostfriesen tea, family and
historical books, maps and pictures will be available for purchase.
OGSA is an active genealogical association with an extensive
research library with holdings on genealogy, and the history and
culture of the Ostfriesens. This extensive library will be
transported from the headquarters in the Minnesota Historical
Society to the Crowne Plaza for the event. This conference is a rare
opportunity for residents of this area to have hands-on access to
the comprehensive research materials and get assistance from
regional experts.
[to top of second column]
People of Ostfriesen ancestry whose interest in family roots
has been piqued by the recent genealogy based television shows
such as "Who Do You Think You Are", "Find My Family", and "Faces
of America" should seize this opportunity to get a good start.
More information on the conference and registration is available
at the OGSA website.

chair at the contact information noted above.

If you look back in U.S. history, you'll discover something profound. The presidents who did the most for science are evenly distributed between Democrats and Republicans. This isn't a partisan issue. But which of these presidents did the most to advance the cause of scientific discovery?
The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is running a playoff bracket to determine which president you think was the most science-friendly. UCS's Aaron Huertas told io9:
Our goal is to highlight the role science has played in presidents' careers, whether it's Jefferson commissioning the Lewis and Clark expedition, Theodore Roosevelt pushing for the Pure Food and Drug Act or George H.W. Bush launching new Earth observation programs.
The voting starts today, and the smackdown will continue for several rounds until we have a winner. Along the way, you're going to learn a lot about the science policies of past presidents — some of which will surprise you!
Vote now! And think about which potential presidential candidates for the next election are pro-science, too.

I watched a cat die
It was a sunny afternoon, the last sounds of Friday prayers echoing in the background, when a skinny cat came out from under a parked car and walked up the street with tiny steps. I stood still. His narrow head hung down and his eyes were squeezed into little slitI watched a cat die. It was a sunny Friday afternoon, s. His gray fur was bunched together on his body in clumps and his tail looked like an old stick. He crossed over to the warm side of the street. In the sunlight he raised his head a bit and stopped. A car came riding by, but the cat didn't look up or around. The driver honked a few times and then drove in an arc around the animal.When the car had disappeared and it was quiet again in the street the cat started to retch. His tiny body contracted as if there was something bigger than himself inside. From his mouth came a thick string of mucus, and then very suddenly the animal's legs gave out as if they were folded paper. It fell on its side, never to get up again.

....I am going to Jackson .... so ya better watch out !
LOL, I laugh every time I hear this song.
There is a little place just outside my Hometown of Southampton on the Great Lake Huron, called Jackson. You know, one of those little spots that never in a lifetime would make it on a map; don't blink you will miss it kind of places .... well when families used to come up to vacation in Southampton, I can remember two particular guys who my friends and I had totally convinced our very own Jackson was where Johnny Cash originated from ....LOL, we had them over the barrel for quite some time as I recall ! Harmless fun is always the best fun, is it not?
I am always busy ! I can't seem to get a "handle" on why I am always so dang busy? I suppose what happened all began over four years ago when I was unable to do much of anything. That first Summer I can remember spending it sitting out on the deck doing nothing but mostly crying with pain and frustration of not being able to do much of anything at that time.
I think things got so behind on me these past couple of years, with me just now beginning to start making a "dent" in how things used to be, but at a much slower pace. With not being able to do a lot for a couple of years, much got away from me, so much I was finding it extremely "overwhelming".
Also there was a life change adjustments with my Mother living with us for over 4 years, another with her moving out last June, and then Rob making a life change by purchasing his own Taxi Cab last Fall .... lots of, at times, "overwhelming" situations for me.
Surely the definition of being overwhelmed is my mind going 90 miles an hour.
At times I still get overwhelmed with my mind seemingly going 90 miles an hour, but the dent in what I am and have accomplished is so rewarding it sometimes takes the overwhelmed feeling down a bit. I think the biggest issue I have with myself (still), is realizing I physically can't go 90 miles a hour any more like I used to, so things take a little bit longer getting done then they used to, in turn this is why I am sure I feel so busy all the time !!! LOL
When thinking about all of this and putting it into perspective, I think I will keep on being busy, opposed to not being busy. When I reflect back on not being able to do hardly anything at one time and how "maddening" it was, unable to do a dang thing about it, I will keep how it is now.
What saying comes to mind? "Idle hands are the Devil's Workshop". There sure can't be any Devil around here, as my hands are usually never idle, and if they are idle, I am sure my mouth isn't .... LOL.
My hands were definitely NOT idle today, as I had stripped our bedding, mattress pad included, to all be washed. Since it was such a beautiful Springlike day out today, I had hung the comforter and mattress pad out on the line. Once the sheets were washed and ready to be hung out, I went out only to find both comforter and pad off the clothesline and on the dirty mucky ground, as nice it was but windy as well !!! Into the washer again with them. And the sheets? well let's say they didn't get hung out on any outside line today !
The last of the spare bedroom's "Goosey" border was removed today, with 1 1/2 walls completely washed down. Tomorrow the rest of the walls should be done washed as well. Just some "stuff" to be purchased to fill any holes or dents and the room should have the "green light" to be painted !
Yesterday I had sold two items on two different Swap & Sale Groups on Facebook. The one item was picked up today ....
After a Dinner of leftovers, with the dishes done up, Rob and I went downtown as we needed to order him a couple of "Crabby Cabbie" shirts with the logo ....
*Phew* 90 miles an hour !!!
I have yet another phone call to make tonight, before I call my "Crabby Cabbie", take the "pack" out for their last of the evening, and call it a night myself here, "Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard".
