In a mere matter of moments, your child, senior relative, or animal companion might creep out of your notice. And then they might sink suddenly into the pool in advance of any grown-up really perceiving what has just happened.

While watching Modern Family aka my new obsession there was an episode about the New Year, and Gloria, aka my favorite character, mentions a Colombian New Year tradition of eating 12 grapes at midnight. So (obviously) I googled New Year's Colombian Traditions and below is what I found from this blog - Please note some of these traditions also apply to Mexican Culture as pointed to me by a dear friend of mine.
1. Twelve grapes
As the clock strikes 12 you need to start eating the grapes. Each grape represents one month of the upcoming year, and you are allowed to make a wish with each grape. But you have to finish eating all twelve grapes before 12:01 in order for your wishes to come true. So, have your wish list ready and eat quickly :).
2. Yellow Underwear
If you want to win the lottery next year or at least guarantee yourself riches, try wearing yellow underwear as the clock strikes 12. If you want to double your chances, wear the underwear backwards.
3. Shafts of Wheat
Make sure to place 12 shafts of wheat on your dining room table. This will ensure a year with plenty to eat.
4. The Suitcase
At precisely 12 o'clock, grab your suitcase and run around the entire block with it as fast as you can. When you have completed your journey, you increase your chances of taking a big trip in the upcoming year. So, for you people with itchy feet, forget the grapes and grab the suitcase.
5. Starting Out on the Right Foot
As the clock strikes midnight, make sure your first step is made with your right foot. This will start out the year on the "right foot."
6. Money in Hand or in Pocket
Make sure to have at least $1 in your pocket or in your hand as the clock strikes 12. It foretells a year of financial security. Remember, cash only -- for everything else there is Mastercard.
7. Sweep the Dirt Out the Door
Your house should be cleaned on the 31st and you sweep the last bit of dirt out the front door at midnight. This cleanses your home and brings good energy to your home.
8. Eat Lentils (Check link to recipe from two days ago)
At any time on the 31st of December, eat lentils. It portents a year of plenty.
9. Burn your Año Viejo
This helps you get rid of all your bad luck and mistakes from the previous year.
Make sure that you hug and kiss everyone in your house and wish them Feliz Año.

Webdesign process: is the customer king?
Is the customer king?
You're probably thinking that should be a statement instead of a question.
Well... yes, the customer is king. And no, he isn't really.
One of the main reasons a lot of websites fail to deliver is because they're made according to the specifications of the company that ordered it.
Don't get me wrong. It's good for a web builder or usability expert to find out what the customer wants.
But it's not enough.
We tell most of our customers at the start of a usability project that it doesn't really matter all that much what they think or want. What we think doesn't matter that much either.
It's not your customer's opinion that counts, it's his customers' opinion
You don't make a company's website for that company. You make it for that company's customers. Their needs and expectations are what matters.
A website can only be truly successful if it caters to the needs of its visitors, not to the needs of its owners or makers.
Finding out what visitors want is crucial if you want to base your functional analysis and information architecture on facts rather than feelings.
Companies know their customers
Yeah, right.
That's what I thought. But 10 years of experience have taught me that a lot of companies know surprisingly little about their customers.
Try it yourself if you don't believe me. Ask your customer (or yourself if you're a CEO, communication or marketing manager) questions like:
- Who visits your website?
- Why do people visit your website?
- Why do people buy your product and not your competitor's?
- Why do they buy product x and not product y of the same series?
- What are your potential customers' 10 most frequently asked questions?
It's amazing how often companies don't know the answers to these questions. Or how often the answers start with "I think" or "According to us". Which basically means "We don't know". Time for user research to make sure you can start your answers with "We know".
User research
How do you find out what people want from a website? That's easy: you ask them. And you check what they're already doing on your site.
A few user research methods we use:
- Logfile analysis
Logfiles can tell you what people are doing on your website. They can't tell you what they'd like to do or what they can't do.
- Keyword analysis
Analysing the keywords people type into your search feature tells you what people are looking for on your site and which words they use.
- Customer contacts analysis
Ask everybody in your company who comes into contact with customers to keep track of the questions they ask so you know what the 10 most frequently asked questions are. If you have a call center, get the data from there.
- Online survey
An online survey is a great way to find out more about your visitors' profile and what they're looking for on your website. A short survey with the right questions still gets loads of responses.
- Interviews
Interviews with potential and existing customers are vital if you want to get details about what they really want from your website.
- User tests
User tests will show you what people like and dislike about your website and your competitors'.
Is user research always interesting?
Absolutely. You always learn something new.
Of course you don't always have to use all the methods we described. Our advice is to choose at least 1 analytical method (logfile analysis, keyword analysis or customer contacts analysis) and 1 other method.
Don't get carried away with the number of people you interview or do user tests with either. Around 10 people is plenty, unless of course you have a huge website with loads of different target audiences.
- Environmental government agency
The agency thought their website was mostly visited by 2 types of visitors: - Farmers and environmental professionals looking for scientific data. - Companies looking for information on environmental permits.
Research showed these assumptions were wrong. Sure, 20% of visitors were companies and around 3% were farmers and environmental professionals.
But about 75% of visitors were regular people looking for information on air and water quality in their area and tips on how to be environmentally friendly.
- Air conditioning manufacturer
Our customer thought the website was very important for engineering companies, architects, etc.
Research showed these people rarely visited the website. The real visitors were end customers looking for information on air conditioning.
And they weren't too impressed with sales arguments like 'titanium air filter' and 'only 69db'. Their main reasons to buy a particular air conditioning unit were things like 'it's really quiet' and 'it fits with our decorating scheme'.
- Hospital
The hospital we worked for was convinced their website had to inform people about medical conditions and treatments.
User research told a different story. People were mostly looking for contact information, phone numbers of doctors and visiting hours.
As a matter of fact, more people used the website to look for information on the cafeteria than information about a medical condition or treatment.
- Scientific research institute
User research showed that the visitor profile was very different depending on the language version of the website.
The Dutch version of the site was mostly visited by teachers, students and non-scientists, looking for general information or didactic material. The English version of the site was mostly visited by staff and scientists from other research institutes and industry, looking for information on specific research projects or scientists' contact details.
So don't talk to the customer?
Of course you should. Talking to your customer is always important.
But don't just talk to the CEO or the web manager. Talk to people from all divisions of the company so you can find out what their expectations are about the website.
And always, always check the company's wishes and expectations against those of the people it's all about: the website's visitors.
Conclusion: talk to your customer and his customers
What does all that talking get you? An excellent view on what the website should and shouldn't do and what the visitors' top tasks are.
The end result: happy website visitors. Which in turn leads to a happy customer for you.
Care to share your experiences?
We'd love to hear from you.

Cubism: The Leonard A. Lauder Collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art will be the most important exhibition of the essential Cubists—Georges Braque (French, 1882–1963), Juan Gris (Spanish, 1887–1927), Fernand Léger (French, 1881–1955), and Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973)—in more than 30 years.
The exhibition and accompanying publication will trace the invention and development of Cubism using iconic examples from the Leonard A. Lauder Collection, with its unparalleled holdings in this foundational modernist movement. The exhibition will mark the first time that the Collection, which Mr. Lauder pledged to the Museum in April 2013, is shown in its entirety.
The exhibition, which opens October 20, 2014, will present 79 paintings, works on paper, and sculpture: 17 by Braque, 15 by Gris, 15 by Léger, and 34 by Picasso. Rich in modernist pictures by Picasso and Braque, the exhibition will also include an unprecedented number of papiers collé by Juan Gris and a stunning array of Léger's most famous series, his Contrasts of Forms.
Over the past 40 years, Leonard Lauder has selectively acquired masterpieces and seminal works to create the most important collection in private hands of works by the four preeminent Cubist artists: Mr. Lauder made his first two Cubist acquisitions in 1976 and continues to add to the Collection, which is distinguished by its quality, focus, and depth.
Over the past 40 years, Leonard Lauder has selectively acquired masterpieces and seminal works to create the most important collection in private hands of works by the four preeminent Cubist artists: Mr. Lauder made his first two Cubist acquisitions in 1976 and continues to add to the Collection, which is distinguished by its quality, focus, and depth.
Cubism was the most influential art movement of the 20th century: it radically destroyed traditional illusionism in painting, revolutionized the way we see the world (as Juan Gris said), and paved the way for the pure abstraction that dominated Western art for the next 50 years. Led by Picasso and Braque, the Cubists dismantled traditional perspective and modeling in the round in order to emphasize the two-dimensional picture plane. Cubist collage introduced fragments of mass-produced popular culture into pictures, thereby changing the very definition of art.
More than half of the Leonard A. Lauder Cubist Collection focuses on the six-year period, 1909-14, during which Braque and Picasso—the two founders of the Cubist movement—collaborated closely. Their partnership began in earnest in the fall of 1908, when the visionary dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler exhibited Braque's most recent paintings in his Paris gallery. Henri Matisse is known to have disparaged Braque's pictures as "painting made of small cubes;" the term Cubism first appeared in print in Louis Vauxcelles's review of the Kahnweiler exhibition.
The Collection includes two landscapes from this historic show:
The Terrace at the Hôtel Mistral (1907),
which marks Braque's transition from Fauvism to Cubism, and the iconic
Trees at L'Estaque (1908),
which inaugurates Cubism.
By 1909 Braque and Picasso were inseparable. As Picasso later recounted, "Almost every evening, either I went to Braque's studio or he came to mine. Each of us HAD to see what the other had done during the day. We criticized each other's work. A canvas wasn't finished until both of us felt it was."
A pair of identically sized paintings from 1911 in the Leonard A. Lauder Cubist Collection—
Braque's Still Life with Clarinet (Bottle and Clarinet) and
Picasso's Pedestal Table, Glasses, Cups, Mandolin
— exemplify a pivotal moment in the history of Cubism, when the two artists began to picture objects from different points of view in an increasingly shallow space. Only a few clues were retained to help viewers decode the picture, the profile of an instrument or the tassel of a curtain. As the works hovered on the brink of illegibility, Braque and Picasso began to introduce "certainties," as Braque called them: painted letters and words and, soon after, actual pieces of rope, newspaper, sheet music, and brand labels. They inspired other artists to incorporate all kinds of unorthodox materials into works of art.
The Leonard A. Lauder Cubist Collection contains such landmark paintings as Picasso's landscape
The Oil Mill (1909),
which was one of the first Cubist pictures reproduced in Italy. After seeing it in the December 1911 issue of the Florentine journal La Voce, the Italian Futurists were inspired to modernize their style and engage in a rivalry with their French peers.
Picasso's Still Life with Fan: "L'Indépendant" (1911),
in the Collection, is one of the first works in which he experimented with painted typography, in this case the gothic type masthead of L'Indépendant, the local newspaper of Céret in the foothills of the Pyrenees.
Braque's Fruit Dish and Glass (1912),
the very first Cubist papier collé (paper collage) ever created, is also in the Collection. Collages were a revolutionary Cubist art form in which ready-made objects were incorporated into fine art. In the summer of 1912, while vacationing with Picasso in the south of France, Braque saw imitation wood-grain wallpaper in a store window. He waited until Picasso left town before buying the faux bois paper and pasting it into a still-life composition. Braque's decision to use mechanically printed, illusionistic wallpaper to represent the texture and color of a wooden table marked a turning point in Cubism. Braque later recounted, "After having made the papier collé [Fruit Dish and Glass], I felt a great shock, and it was an even greater shock for Picasso when I showed it to him."
Braque and Picasso shared an interest in aviation, which extended to Braque's nickname, "Wilb[o]urg" (after Wilbur Wright). The most famous example of their aviation puns is
Picasso's The Scallop Shell: "Notre Avenir est dans l'Air" (1912).
This oval-shaped painting is simultaneously a representation of a tabletop and a blatantly flat canvas. The still-life elements of the work include a trompe l'oeil rendering of a pamphlet that had been issued by the French government in February 1912 to raise public support for military aviation. Picasso included it as a witty reference to his and Braque's daring, groundbreaking Cubist enterprise.
Picasso's synthetic Cubist masterpiece
Woman in a Chemise in an Armchair (1913-14)
is one of the artist's most radical and imposing paintings. This provocative and highly eroticized image was hailed by André Breton in his seminal text Surrealism and Painting (1928).
Additionally the Leonard A. Lauder Cubist Collection holds examples of two key Cubist sculptures: a rare cast of Picasso's Head of a Woman (Fernande) (1909), which introduced the analytic Cubist style into three dimensions, and The Absinthe Glass (1914), which signaled the end of traditionally modeled sculpture. Each of the six casts in the edition was hand-painted by Picasso and includes an actual perforated tin absinthe spoon, thus blurring the boundaries between a multiple and a unique work of art.
Still lifes with flutes, guitars, mandolins, violins, and sheet music are indicative of Braque's and Picasso's personal pastimes as well as their enthusiasm for popular vaudeville tunes. Their word play and images combine ribald jokes and erudite references, high and low, as well as allusions to the Cubist movement and commentary on world events. In
Violin: "Mozart Kubelick" (1912),
for example, Braque indulged in a double entendre by including the name of the famed Czech violinist Jan Kubelik (1880-1940). The first three letters of his name ("KUB") were those of a common bouillon cube, a foodstuff widely advertised on posters of the period, much to the delight of Braque and Picasso, who appreciated the pun on the word "Cub"ism. Violin: "Mozart/Kubelick" was one of three pictures by Braque that Kahnweiler sent to the New York Armory Show of 1913, the exhibition that introduced European modernism to the American public. It became one of the most caricatured Cubist images in the American press, which delighted in pointing out that Braque had put the "cube in Kubelik" and also that he had misspelled the maestro's name.
Legend has it that, a few years earlier, on his way to visit Picasso at the Bateau-Lavoir, the rundown artist complex in Montmartre, Kahnweiler had glanced into the open window of Juan Gris's studio and asked to see his work. In late 1912, the dealer began representing Gris. Whereas Braque and Picasso exhibited exclusively with Kahnweiler, Gris sent work to the annual Salon displays, bringing wider visibility to the new Cubist style. The Futurist artist Umberto Boccioni, for example, was directly influenced by
Gris's Head of a Woman (Portrait of the Artist's Mother)
after he saw it at the spring 1912 Salon des Indépendants. Gris took the analytic Cubism of Braque and Picasso and made it his own with precisely delineated compositions, flattened planes, and rhythmic surface patterns that prefigure the synthetic Cubism of the war years.
The Leonard A. Lauder Cubist Collection contains an unparalleled selection of six painted collages that Gris created during the first half of 1914. Several of them incorporate wry references to the fictional criminal mastermind Fantômas, the subject of a wildly popular crime series. The shadowy
Man at the Café (1914)
hides his face behind a newspaper, made up of an actual clipping whose headline pointedly reads: "Bertillonage/ One will no longer be able to fake works of art." Gris alludes to the criminal identification systems, or Bertillonage, of Alphonse Bertillon, one of the fathers of forensic science, whose methods were featured in the storylines of the Fantômas films. With mock suspense, Gris suggests that, having read about the latest criminal detection methods in the newspaper, the man at the table will escape the authorities once again—as will the Cubist masterminds in their games of visual deception.
In 1913, Kahnweiler added Fernand Léger to his stable of artists. Like Gris, Léger developed Cubism into a distinctive and influential style, in which dynamic intersections of spherical, cylindrical, and cubic forms evoked the new, syncopated rhythms of modern life. The Leonard A. Lauder Cubist Collection features several important works from Léger's seriesContrasts of Forms, wherein Léger worked out his primary oppositions of light and dark, angled and curved planes, color and line. The jaunty image of
The Smoker (1914),
with its body reduced to basic geometric parts, anticipates the dehumanization that Léger would experience first-hand during World War I. Gris and Picasso, both Spanish citizens, remained in France during the war. Picasso's political sentiments are evident in the Collection's

one of the largest Cubist works ever painted. Its mural-like size anticipates his collaboration in the 1920s with the architect Le Corbusier.Composition (The Typographer), the definitive version of a series of three, reflects the affinity Léger felt toward the anonymous working man and his fascination with the trappings of modern Paris, from advertisements to architecture. Léger drew on his background as an architectural draftsman in celebrating the beauty of machines and in this way led Cubism into a new modernist machine aesthetic.

Life & Times, a series of ticketed talks by curator Rebecca Rabinow, will take place on December 2 and December 9, 2014 shedding light on different aspects of the Leonard A. Lauder Collection. The first in the series, Cubist Confetti, considers the Cubists' colorful stippling during the prewar years as a sophisticated means of introducing formal qualities of texture and light into their art, while referencing popular culture and artistic movements such as Pointillism. Games Cubists Play explores the impact of the games, jokes, and puns that define and characterize prewar Cubist masterpieces.
There will be a special lecture in The Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium on February 11, Leonard Lauder, Collecting Cubism. Leonard A. Lauder will discuss the early influences that drew him to Cubism, the choices he made in acquiring works, and his criteria for assembling a world-class collection.

New Albany, Floyd County, Indiana
Aside from the citizenship record in 1852, Valentine and Maria first appear in the 1870 U.S. census for Hamilton County, Cincinnati, but three of their children's birthplaces are listed as Indiana, from 1862 to 1866. Later records prove the location in Indiana as New Albany.
Neither the prior 1850 or 1860 census lists Valentine and Maria living either in Ohio or Indiana, though it's evident they were living in Ohio, up until the birth of Barbara in 1862 in Indiana.
It's uncertain why Valentine and Maria moved to Indiana and remained there until sometime before 1870, when they returned to Cincinnati. The Civil War began on April 12, 1861, and was declared finished on April 9, 1865, so basically Valentine and his family stayed in Indiana throughout the war. If he fought in the war, I cannot find records of this. In 1862, Abraham Lincoln established one of the first seven National Cemeteries in New Albany for burying the many slain bodies in the Civil War.
New Albany was nicknamed "River Town," for its location on the banks of the Ohio River, and "The Sunny Side of Louisville," because it was across the river from Louisville.
The steamboat industry in New Albany was thriving during this time, and possibly jobs were available. Without a census to refer to, or a city directory, it's impossible to know if Valentine got work there that caused him to relocate.
Shipbuilding was accompanied by a wide range of ancillary business including machine shops, foundries, cabinet and furniture factories, and silversmith shops… By 1850, New Albany was the largest city in Indiana due to its river contacts with the South. New Albany's size and economic influence overshadowed all of its neighboring cities, including Louisville.~ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Albany,_Indiana#Early_history
The most obvious reason for Valentine moving to Indiana during its "boom" period of extensive shipbuilding was the work it provided, and at the end of this boom business, in 1870, when the last ship was built, the work opportunities also ended.
The Battle of Corydon
I've wondered about the Wehrles during the Civil War, what that must have been like.
The Battle of Corydon was a minor engagement that took place July 9, 1863, just south of Corydon, which had been the original capital of Indiana until 1825, and was the county seat of Harrison County. The attack occurred during Morgan's Raid …as a force of 2,500 cavalry invaded the North in support of the Tullahoma Campaign. It was the only pitched battle of the Civil War that occurred in Indiana, and no battle has occurred within Indiana since.
...News of an impending raid spread across the state, Governor Oliver P. Morton called out the state's militia force, the Indiana Legion, to defend against the threat. Unaware of the size of the invading army, four companies of the 6th and 8th Regiments of the Legion, totaling about one hundred men, attempted to prevent the Confederates from crossing the Ohio River into Indiana, but were overcome by superior artillery fire, killing two of the defenders. The units retreated northward where they met with the main body of the 6th Regiment under the command of Col. Lewis Jordan. Along with the townspeople, they constructed breastworks that formed a defensive line south of Corydon. Despite promises of reinforcements from regional Legion commanders in New Albany, only about 450 men (consisting almost entirely of locals) were defending the town.
... A large part of the Legion were captured as they attempted to escape from the town, while Col. Jordon and others regrouped downtown. Confederates then seized the Legion's commissary supplies on the edge of town, and fired two warning shots into the downtown from their artillery, convincing Jordan that continued resistance was futile and leading him to surrender his force and Corydon. ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_CorydonIn July 1863, Valentine and Maria's youngest child, Barbara, was one year old. The Battle of Corydon was being fought approximately 20 miles away from their home.
Indiana and Ohio's Underground Railroad
File:Brooklyn Museum - A Ride for Liberty -- The Fugitive Slaves - Eastman Johnson ~Source: http://www.cyberindiana.com/imag
Source: http://www.undergroundrailroadi
In spite of our country's civil war, and the battle fought close to my ancestors' home in Indiana, slavery had continued, and Ohio and Indiana being free states (and across the river in Kentucky it was not), what's come to be known as the Underground Railroad was in operation.
Thousands of brave people helped the slaves flee North, some to Canada, to freedom. There was such precision and cooperative focus by these heroes that it was likened to a railroad, with "stations" along the way, hence Underground Railroad.
While Valentine and Maria and their children were living in New Albany, their city was a stop on the Underground Railroad. The "station" there was The New Albany Town Clock Church, now the Second Baptist Church.
Town Clock Church dates from 1849-1852. The street address is 300 East Main.. Stories of this church during the Civil War are legend; it was an open secret that this was a station in the Underground Railroad. The small openings and rooms in the dirt floor basement remain just as they were when fugitive slaves hid safely during their journey North.~ Source: http://www.cyberindiana.com/imag
There were many places that runaway negroes crossed the Ohio river from Kentucky into Indiana, and the anti-slavery league put skiffs and boats along the river to aid the fugitives. The most used routes were above the mouth of the Wabash River on the Ohio and on up to the neighborhood of Cincinnati.~ http://www.undergroundrailroadindiana.com.
Politics and the Know Nothings
Another possible reason for the Wehrles moving from Ohio to Indiana could have been the Cincinnati 1855 Riot caused by the "Know Nothings" (established in 1854 as the Supreme Order of the Star-spangled Banner), a group of Cincinnati Nativists formed to oppose immigrants and Catholics.
This group was also the opposing political party against Democrats (this was before the Republican party was formed), and in 1855 tried to fix an election by means of stealing ballot boxes in German voting wards and using physical violence to keep the Germans from voting.
The riots went on three days and nights. The Know-Nothing mobs attempted to invade the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, but the Germans created a barricade across Vine Street and organized themselves into a fighting unit, successfully pushing the Know-Nothings back and causing them to lose the election in spite of their evil schemes to win.
Times were dangerous then for Germans and Catholics in Cincinnati, who were thought of as low-class threats to the city's wholesome atmosphere.
However, Valentine and Maria would return to Cincinnati, Hamilton County, before the 1870 Census, and the second generation Wehrles married and began families of their own close to their parents and grandparents: Somewhere Over-the-Rhine.

When the Dolphins pass
The pass protection is worrisome; it leads to mistakes and this is where the Ravens win the game. The Dolphins have allowed a NFL-leading 18 sacks. Baltimore brings two heavy hitters in linebackers Terrell Suggs (four sacks) and Elvis Dumervil (two sacks). If Tannehill doesn't have time to hit WRs Brian Hartline, Mike Wallace and Brandon Gibson downfield the offense has no hope. The Ravens are tied for ninth with 13 sacks, but they're 16th in pass defense. Tannehill (five interceptions, three lost fumbles) also has to avoid turnovers. Keep an eye on the Wallace gets vs. Lardarius Webb; he's a quality cornerback who has struggled this year.

A man from Tahlequah, Oklahoma, claiming a McDonald's bathroom was infested with spiders was taken to jail early on Friday morning after he was caught "shooting up drugs" in the local restaurant, police said.
Officer Thomas Donnell filed a report claiming that Shawn D. Padilla, 45, was standing in the restaurant just after midnight, "wearing a spandex dress and acting very erratic."
Padilla allegedly told Donnell the restroom was crawling with spiders and he had been bitten several times.
Donnell followed Padilla into the restroom; Padilla opened the door to a stall and "told me to look at all of the spiders in there," Donnell reported.
But Donnell said there were no arachnids in the bathroom, despite Padilla's claims.
When questioned by the officer, Padilla denied taking any form of medication.
He was then handcuffed and taken to the Tahlequah Municipal Jail for a public intoxication charge.
Booking records show Padilla was in the Cherokee County Detention Center in August for possession of methamphetamine.
He has not been formally charged in thedistrict court.

Comments made over the weekend by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, indicating that the central bank could end up pumping even more money into the economy, are still top of mind for the "Fast Money" traders on Monday.
During an televised interview with "60 Minutes" on Sunday, Bernanke said the Fed could buy more than the $600 billion in U.S. government bonds it has committed to purchase if the economy fails to respond or unemployment stays too high. Guy Adami, managing partner of Drakon Capital, said it will be interesting to see how the market trades Bernanke's commentary.
Joe Terranova, chief market strategist of Virtus Investment Partners, is watching how the treasurys trade off of Bernanke's remarks. Treasury prices climbed in early trading Monday.
Meanwhile, Brian Kelly of Kanundum Capital is watching coal. Kelly noted that over the weekend, Rio Tinto reportedly offered $3.5 billion for Australia's Riversdale Mining, which tells him the coal trade is far from over.
"The problem is all these stocks have run up" on acquisition news, said Kelly, adding that there still may be some upside to the coal trade.

A friend of mine, blogging as Searcher, has posted a summary of yesterday's proceedings on Phoenix Rising. She will continue to blog for PR throughout the weekend. I think all patients should be keeping up with this weekend's events--they have such huge implications on our future. It is a long summary, and everyone will likely find interest in different findings.
If you're short on time or are too brain fogged to read the whole summary, I would skip ahead to the summary of Dr. Montoya's second presentation, about halfway down the page. His cytokine study will be talked about endlessly in the months following.
For a more paraphrased but perhaps more digestible series of Tweets, Cort Johnson is covering the same event and doing his usual superhuman thing: Link.

Well these days its been a kind off trend to just hang up with someone with the name Relationship, with the changing time Youngster are more onto the fact of living with someone which some or other way use to be just for passing time.
Over 70 percent of people love to spend their time in relationship rather the left out just enjoy being single. And over 70 % percent people out there talk about the topic related to opposite gender most of the time in a day.
But there are even more categories of people who use to be there in relationship.
Well a part of known intel people spend half of their useful time in doing shit with their partner and spoiling the urge of moment , That may effect to their office hours ,their college/school studies.
Its not the fact that what you exactly want with life is someone there to be with you, but these days its more onto the status to depict the standard of people to atleast have someone to hang out with.
People out there in college are more onto the taste being there with certain someone rather then having something like friendship.
And if by luck, time is favouring you then,
its more often the fact that you scratch hard in order to keep up the friendship because the other half in most of the cases use to be damn insecure from you "as if you gonna snatch her girl or his guy. Which you know much better with the word called insecurity.
Well being in the crowd with a dream, to hangout.
What i am ?
is exactly that similar guy who just standing at the back of the group somewhere away from the crowd.
And thinking about the fact "that is it really a need , to be in a relationship to get someone close to you"
to support you, or to serve you in the same way as you wish to be served.
life moves on with so much of obligation's where people are always bound with social norms.
And talking about India then its more onto status of people .
"Where people spend more of their time not for their happiness but in order to just satisfy themselves that the other one in the society won't point at them"
where happiness of son/daughter is not onto choosing what he/she likes but it use to be more onto beet the standard of the neighbourhood's son/daughter
Its status which matters more in this run.
And being a part of this society i always fall back with the idea of being there in true love, where i know that my limit won't be sufficient enough to fight back the social norms.
To breaking the heart of parents/ the one whom whose gonna link with my heart.
Its still me with the same Urge of falling in love.
I setback,
I take a deep breathe and try to spend more to be engaged, when i am there with such emotions building some climax in my heart.

GPS Tracking: Monitoring children for safety
In the past few years things have become increasingly serious for India schools where they are implementing the use of GPS tracking as a means to a safer school environment. According to Childline India Foundation they were receiving up to 5 million calls a year regarding women and child safety. With safety being questioned at every turn, GPS tracking seemed to be the education system's go-to solution. Education officials introduced the new GPS tracking guidelines which are now in place.
To start the project, India school officials were to ensure that their school buses were equipped with GPS tracking devices and closed-circuit television cameras. The cameras were also to be installed on school grounds. Furthermore, the footage is required to be kept for a minimum of 60 days and police are to review the footage. Socialization between school bus drivers and students is also no longer allowed. Not only are GPS tracking devices being used for the overall safety of students on the way to school, but authorized officers patrol hallways for added security. Parents reportedly seem fine with these measures as the GPS tracking technology has awarded them with peace of mind about where their children are.
Any parent knows that awful feeling of losing sight of their child, whether it be while in a crowd, on the way to school or during school hours. No one wants to think the worst could be happening to their child in a public place. While the choice to implement GPS tracking for schools in India may have been a very simple one, GPS tracking for school-aged children may seem controversial to Americans. Either way it certainly does provoke some thoughts about the safety of children at school and may make you begin to wonder if GPS tracking could be utilized for schools in the USA.

You have all been there, the busy after-work pub drinks or the mega loud nightclub: you can't hear yourself think, let alone talk. It feels like no language other than sign language would have ever evolved in a place like that. But pubs or clubs are thankfully not the only places that we find ourselves in. But what if our environment were different? Different enough to consistently impose certain acoustic pressures on our hearing of sounds? Ian Maddieson and Christophe Coupé presented intriguing results at the Acoustical Society of America conference last week showing a statistical link between ecology (places with denser vegetation or higher temperature) and sound systems (lower frequency sounds, that is, more "sonorous" sounds). While they are sure to cause controversy in the field of linguistics, controversy in itself need not be a bad thing.
The inference of this study is that languages which are spoken in geographical areas that have environmental features which block the accurate transmission of higher frequency sounds may adapt to use lower frequency sounds in order to facilitate improved communication. The data was carefully combed and put together by a team of well-respected researchers, but the real question is, can we really speak of a causal relationship here or is this a mere statistical coincidence?
"Big data" collections such as the inventory of phonemes used in this study are an amazingly rich resource, but like many good tools out there, they also bring with them a host of risks, in particular the potential risk of finding such coincidental correlations ( "inverse sample size" problem), and thereby the tempting risk of seeing relationships where there are none (see this collection for a fun but useful illustration). Before attempting novel and daring anlayses, researchers actually need to already know a lot about what they are testing, namely, which factors to include and which to exclude. This is not easy or straight forward, but vital. For example, a nice illustration can be found here, of how fumbling in the dark leads to silly results: looking at the numbers alone, it turns out that languages spoken by people who take afternoon naps (siestas) tend to have simpler verb forms. Well, errrr actually if you control for the fact that some of these languages are genetically related (i.e., that they are descended from a common ancestor language), then the correlation disappears. Bam!
But not every language study using "big data" is necessarily a house of cards. And for those which are not, they can innovate future research in valuable ways and bring about new leaps of thought. For example, previous work has demonstrated insightful statistical links between population size and morphological complexity (languages spoken by smaller groups tend to make use of more complex morphology, that is, words with more complicated internal structure, more prefixes, suffixes, etc.), between genes and tonal languages (speakers of tonal languages share certain genetic traits), and also between tonal languages and climate (tonal languages are not found in arid climates).
So with summer coming up, how might your own sounds change in different climates? (See here a fun account of how Larry King's might).
Andreea S. Calude lectures in linguistics at the University of Waikato (New Zealand), loves grammar, studying languages through actual real use (corpus linguistics) and thinks "no word is an island".

Cut open an apple.
First question:
How many seeds are there in your apple?
This is a simple linear challenge – anything from 5 to 8 seeds. A child can do it easily.
Second question:
How many apples are there in each seed?
That's a different, non-linear challenge. The number of apples in each seed depends on a whole lot of unpredictable variables; time, money, water, space, soil fertility, diseases, pests, and …. and ….
We are becoming more and more aware every day that we are living simultaneously in two quite different worlds.
The one is the world we know.
The predictable world; the stable, the repetitive, the safe world.
The other world is almost totally unpredictable, uncertain, full of infinite variables, and potentially very scary.
We always have lived in both worlds of course, but we couldn't see the second, and it certainly didn't challenge us until the absolute explosion of technology in the last 20 years.
The Internet, Facebook, Apple, GPS, Google, Amazon, IPads, Smart Phones and literally thousands of free Apps have invited us – or forced us – to admit to this exciting but infinitely uncertain environment in which we can fly; or swim; or sink.
This new world requires a totally new way of thinking, of doing and of behaving.
The key to this challenge is the ability to THINK and to THINK TOGETHER.
High energy individuals in high energy teams do both really well; provided they have developed really high levels of TRUST.
Different behaviours are essential but are not easily learned!
Contact us.
Our focus at Learning to Lead is on ensuring that individuals and/or teams Think, and Think Together in High Energy and High Trust relationships.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"Black out and dizziness when standing or sitting. Low blood pressure?"
Background Information: I was diagnosed with hypotension right before I got pregnant back in 2008 and that diagnosis continued to be given with me up until about a year and a half ago when my blood pressure finally regulated itself. (67/98 normal) I no longer have an at home blood pressure machine to check my blood pressure, nor do I know what I can do to fix this issue if it is blood pressure dropping again. Symptoms: vision black outs, shakes at first waking, hard to wake up, severe dizziness standing up or sitting up no matter how fast or slow I do, severe tiredness, migraine and nausea. These are all the same symptoms I had back when I was diagnosed with the exception of the migraine. How can I solve this? I don't really have the funds for a doctor to look at me right now. I have tried increasing my electrolytes, drinking tons of water, resting, etc. NOTHING is helping unlike last time
Based on your symptoms and complaints, you should see a doctor, perhaps the same doctor who had treated you previously and can determine if these symptoms are similar to what you had before or if they are new or concerning. Given that it has been a few years and these symptoms are at least partly new (the migraines and the fact that your conservative methods of treating this don't seem to help), I would not feel comfortable recommending any treatment over the Internet without having met you first. While it can be difficult without money to see a doctor, there are times when it might be worth doing, and this appears to be one of those times. Most hospitals and doctors will have a way for those without funds to see a physician, and many cities will have a free clinic with volunteers that can help. From what you have said, it sounds like you have already tried some of the simple remedies for low blood pressure, such as increasing electrolytes and fluid consumption. If these have not worked, blood sugar could be another likely cause. Please speak with a doctor, and work with them to find a way to get the care you need.

Another contender in the TV dinner derby is M. Crawford Pollock, a deceased marketing whiz whose career path included stints with DuPont, Swanson (as vice president of marketing) and Green Giant (where he reportedly helped pioneer boil-in-bag vegetables).
The archives of Frozen Food Age, a trade magazine founded in 1952, list Pollock as the brain behind Swanson's TV dinner.
Thomas theorizes that Frozen Food Age based its conclusion on an "erroneous" article in the Nov. 24, 1965, New York Herald Tribune, which called Pollock "the inventor of the TV dinner."
Although Pollock isn't mentioned in other TV dinner lore, Clarke Swanson Jr. says he did play a role: "So far as I can recall, the marketing concept and the product name 'TV Dinner' came out of a team that included my father, my uncle and Crawford Pollock. The actual development of the product was done by Betty Cronin and a Swiss chef who was a friend of my family."

Corporate money is forever finding new ways to influence government.

QUOTE: Ms. [Stephanie] Smith's reaction to the virulent strain of E. coli was extreme, but tracing the story of her burger, through interviews and government and corporate records obtained by The New York Times, shows why eating ground beef is still a gamble.

New York Times May 21, 2008 U.S. Moves to Prohibit Beef From Sick or Injured Cows

Slate Dec 02, 2007 Effort to Limit Junk Food in Schools Faces Hurdles

QUOTE: Whether to require detailed nutritional information on restaurant menus or brochures is under scrutiny as never before.

To other lawmakers, labeling is the latest example of excessive government interference.
Christian Science Monitor Sep 13, 2007 Diet-conscious Los Angeles eyes moratorium on fast-food outlets: Diet-conscious Los Angeles eyes moratorium on fast-food outlets
QUOTE: Others say [a moratorium on new fast-food outlets] is a well-meaning but misguided attempt by government to control social behavior, doomed to failure, like prohibition in the 1920s.

And the deaths, if not intentional, are often no accident.

Washington Post Jan 30, 2007 Reviewing the School Cupcake Ban
QUOTE: "The controversy over contraband foods is the result of a federal law requiring every school system in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs to write a "wellness policy" by July of last year.

Washington Post Jan 29, 2007 Can Food From Cloned Animals Be Called Organic?

Washington Post Nov 06, 2006 The Package May Say Healthy, but This Grocer Begs to Differ
QUOTE: "At a time when more and more products are being marketed as healthy, the fact that so many items seemed to flunk Hannaford's inspection raises questions about the integrity of the nutrition claims, which are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration — or possibly about whether Hannaford made its standards too prissy or draconian."
New York Times May 03, 2006 Restraint Urged In Junk-Food Ads Aimed at Kids

Christian Science Monitor Aug 27, 2005 Big Soda's Publicity Stunt
QUOTE: What possible purpose could an ad campaign serve, other than to promote soda companies as caring, responsible corporate citizens? If this sounds eerily familiar, it should.

There's the fact in promoting here, as "Demonstrations of Violence" contains a lot of powerful experiences, grasping the opportunity of fierceness the title stipends. It's likewise a miserably terrible, bonehead picture that gives off an impression of being under the feeling that it's an important piece of information in the continuous evaluation of present day law authorization, condemning police methodology as insufficient, maybe purposefully so. In a more keen exertion, such a provocative thought would move a multi-layered investigation of respect, obligation, and franticness. In "Acts of Violence, " it's a green light for weak portrayals, grim activity, and an unusual thought of vigilante equity. It's hard work, nothing unexpected there.
However, the generation doesn't consider material profoundly, going the public western course, rendering the component futile. In the core of Cleveland, wrongdoing master Max is flooding the lanes with harmful medications and filling his strongholds with grabbed ladies, sorting out a human trafficking ring to extend his business. On his trail is Detective James, a drained cop who can't break the case, coming up against baffling procedural points of confinement and bosses who couldn't care less. Mia is going to be hitched to Roman; however, when her lone rangeress party turns out badly, she's captured by Max's goon, Vince, and whisked away to process, made to endure before she's sold off.
Blown a gasket, Roman is consoled by the ex-military may of his siblings, Brandon and Deklan, who gather as one to recover Mia from bondage, shunning the deadlock errand of detailing the occurrence to the police, equipping themselves rather, moving in to assault Max while James battles with the legalities of his activity, viewing the siblings overlook notices and close in for the death blow. There's nothing unique to "Acts of Violence, " discovering chief Brett Donowho conveying next to no push to the component, which conveys the same steely, low-spending look of VOD item, and offers a plot that is fundamentally worried about activating instinctive highs, not emotional ones. There's expectation right off the bat that the screenplay may be something other than what's expected, presenting Deklan as an injured vet endeavoring to break free of PTSD bonds, however, verse, conveying everything that needs to be conveyed in awkward approaches to make an initial move towards strength.
Shockingly, such subtlety is booted from the generation right on time, with whatever remains of "Demonstrations of Violence" delighting in the dreadfulness it invokes, watching Max's tissue ranches, where life is superfluous, itemizing the agony and discipline of recent debuts, including Mia. Nonetheless, rather than understanding the stakes in play, Donowho sets aside an opportunity to appreciate the view, ensuring viciousness is alluringly shot, not censured. "Acts of Violence" endeavors to manufacture an instance of requital with the kin dynamic, watching Roman and Brandon repeat a bright pharmaceutical business with their constrained kinship, running expansive with caring, great circumstances, which includes a front yard wrestling match with life partners.
Deklan is a recluse and the broke man the others swing to when Mia disappears, setting off a moment demonstration transform into heightening between sides, with Max safeguarding his kingdom utilizing simpletons and substantial capability, while Deklan goes all "Obligation at hand" on the scoundrels, flaunting military preparing he endeavors to instruct to Roman. Stuck amidst this conflict is James, who speaks to the written work's Big Idea on the value of law implementation, discovering cops unfit to apply weight on Max and his criminal realm because of an absence of proof. Willis, in customary lights out mode, doesn't convey much to James' inward bubble, rendering the subplot, which feels like it should assume a basic part in the unfurling story, insufficient, simply backing off an officially short and trite undertaking.
Mezzanatto doesn't build up the level headed discussion amongst law and rebellion, agreeing with the siblings for the fantastic finale, which offers a fight between the kin and Max's numbskulls, with the save mission confused by a cycle of striking back. The best answer "Acts of Violence" can give is no answer by any stretch of the imagination, spotlighting the purposelessness of road equity and police association, finishing on a beguilingly skeptical note. The material goes for a clenched hand directing determination to a complicated issue, offering in to base rack stimulation propensities just to discover an exit from a topical labyrinth the makers never had any goal of settling.
