The Kerala CM V.S.Achuthanandan made such a shocking and pathetic comment after he was denied entry to the house of the slain NSG commando officer by the father of the commando. The CM got personal and totally lost it. There is absolutely no civic sense in these politicians and these comments have shown that. The incident has rightly taken the nation by storm. Already people extremely angry with the politicians and this incident will further leave a bad taste in many.
Watch the youtube video clip of Kerala CM using the word dogs for the slain NSG commando officer.

Chelsea game changer Dave Sexton dies
DAVE SEXTON, who has died aged 82, was the man who brought about the modern Chelsea.
Under Tommy Docherty's management, it was his coaching that transformed the Blues into the swinging stylists of Sixties London.
Between them they brought in Terry Venables, John Hollins, Peter Osgood, Peter Bonetti and George Graham and made them household names.
Sexton led England to the European Under-21 Championship in Germany, with Venables as his coach, and said: "Venables is the best thing that has happened to England since Sir Alf Ramsey."
What he didn't mention was his own huge input into the shape and style of the side.
He also managed Manchester United but left because the club felt he was not charismatic enough. He loved the back-room life of coaching, teaching and advising.
When England reached the European Championship semi-finals in 1996, Venables employed Sexton as his right-hand man. The result was a team that brought back the pride to English football.
Venables is the best thing that has happened to England since Sir Alf Ramsey
He was a loyal man who loved the game, but hated the fake glory that went with it.

*First and foremost I'd like to thank everyone who commented on my introductory post-I really appreciate the warm welcome!
Since I was the ripe ol' age of zero, I've spent weekends in the summer at our camp on the Sacandaga Lake. Granted, in my earliest years I was busy figuring out walking and staying upright, but since then, aside from the occasional after-dinner walk or 1 or 2mi run, I've never spent much time running there.
I thought I had been making the best use of my time at camp with all of the eating, drinking, swimming, boating, campfires and s'mores but alas, I was wrong.
This past weekend I had a 6.5mi run scheduled for Saturday. I started out around 7am and as soon as my feet hit the pavement I realized EVERYONE else had the same idea (well, maybe not everyone, but there were lots of people biking, walking and running).
I spent the next 6.5mi taking in the scenery as though I was seeing it all for the first time. Untouched woods, run-down camps next to fancy, sprawling estates, huge grassy fields perfect for a chance to catch a glimpse of the lake. The million-year-old pine trees (maybe an exaggeration. Maybe not) stretching their branches over each side of the road creating a shady canopy to shield us early-birds from the sun, and also to make my Garmin question where it was or what it was doing. Sorry, Garmin.
The sights, sounds and smells were much more relaxing and simply fascinating than anywhere else I've ever run.
When I returned to camp, everyone had started waking up, and my Gramie immediately yelled at me. She didn't know where I had gone for so long. When I explained that I had just gone out for a run and that there were plenty of other (very friendly, for that matter) people out, she responded:
I told her they were friendly too 😉
28 years it took me to appreciate what was available to me my entire life, and now the summer is pretty much over. I'm happy I didn't wait longer!
On the other hand, I am psyched for fall/early winter running. This time of year is absolutely the highest on my list of favorite times to run. Running to stay warm is much more appealing than running to get, well, warmer? Ugh.
So with scenery in mind, does anyone have a 'favorite trail' suggestion that is high on visuals and in the Capital District area?

Quantum Satellites: The Next Space Race
Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
Two researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada say the next big space race is building the first global quantum-communication satellite network.Up until now, the furthest quantum-communication signals have traveled is just a few hundred miles. However, this technology is up-and-coming, and is what Thomas Jennewein and Brendon Higgins believe will be driving the next space race.
Quantum communication is the science of transmitting quantum states from one place to another. This field has received significant attention over the past few years due to the discovery of quantum cryptography.
Quantum cryptography exploits a unique property of single particles, like photons, making them exist in two separate states. Once you measure the state of a particle, you can instantly change its state, meaning photons would be able to be passed between two parties safely. Scientists have described quantum cryptography as a way of creating "unbreakable" messages, making it a viable tool for technology companies, governments, banks and other security-focused clients.
The transmission of encryption keys over long distances remains a significant challenge for scientists, but the intensity of signals tend to weaken as they travel further, because photons can get absorbed or scattered off molecules.
Jennewein and Higgins lead one of several teams around the world trying to pursue the concept of a quantum satellite. A satellite 22,000 miles above the Earth would be able to act like a relay between two ground stations in a way that allows them to establish a secure connection by sharing an encryption key made of photons.
They have been studying the overall design features of the satellite and ground stations, and have emphasized the need for them to be precisely aligned so they can be certain that what they measure corresponds to the photons that are prepared.
"With the prospect of global-scale quantum communications and fundamental quantum science within new, unexplored regimes, the next few years are sure to be exciting," Jennewein and Higgins wrote in the journal Physics World.
Last September, physicists claimed they achieved quantum teleportation over a record distance of 88 miles, creating the first major step towards building satellite-based quantum communication.
During this venture, the team wrote in Nature they transmitted quantum states between the two Canary Islands of La Palma and Tenerife, surpassing the previous record by about 28 miles set by Chinese researchers months before.

Cutler, please mouse-press his name.
Better still congrats on beating the lifeless Brownouts! Cutler Bay, Old Cutler Road, and Jay Cutler are all solid choices PAL! The offense is constraining him, it's a long way off from Chicago. Now our coach can, well, coach him into it and as each game progresses thru the (not interminable) season I think Yule find the grind getting a little less offensive on Cut. In other words he'll grow into the role (perhaps.)
Take into consideration Parker didn't play at all last game and that our new T.E. leaves much to be desired over Dion Simms! And the O.L.
Maybe Mac knows what he's doing? Maybe Bowles does too, but I know better.
Facts, which you'll see eventually..... Mac is putting together a team SLOWLY, through the draft, you're seeing signs of it already BECAUSE we are playing cupcakes. Bowles is still a hack and will be exposed, as will our young roster, by the REAL opppnents that are on our schedule.
So hold off on anointing Bowles coach of the year. And feel free to IGNORANTLY jump back on Mac once we hit 5-11.
Just look at MSGold12's two page thread where he says goodbye to the board/whines about how this season didn't turn out as originally planned.
You were right there with him.
I think as the season approached MacCagnan got scared he came to his senses he realized he wouldn't survive. HE GOT SMART! GOOD!! You see what happens with the Giants when this season is over who knows they could make changes before the season ends.
No one comes here as a no name GM asks the fans to have blind faith. Deliver results, make the fans happy guess what? We'll let him stick around for a bit more.
I like what I'm seeing.
Make absolutely no mistake about it early 2017 HC of the year favorite Todd Bowles and staff are the ones making this thing work on the fly. They've been brilliant!!! I said it before if Bowles matches last year's five wins total (again FO INTENT) he should be the coach of the year if he can top that as the Ws pile up we'd be watching one of the greatest coaching jobs EVER.
I came into this season expecting a serious run at 0-16. Anything past 1 is gravy to me after the Dolphins win the rest of this entire season the Jets are playing with house money that's how I'm looking at it.

Do you already have a blister?
Do you know, most of the trees in my yard have not begun loosing their leaves.
Do you know that I am curious if those leaves have all changed color?
Do you know, they are in the process of turning red, or yellow or brown, depending on which tree.
Do you know that our burning bushes are behind everything else this year?
Do you know that I googled "burning bush" to see what it was and found out its Latin name is "euonymous" and that I have one of those bushes but it remains green all year?
Do you know we have a lot of euonymus bushes in our yard and they do not change color or lose their leaves in the winter? We have the variegated variety; do you know if they are different in behavior from other varieties?
P B -- our maple trees are usually the last to change and shed their leaves. Are those maple trees in your yard?
No I didn't know

Yes, I do
Do you have a razor that you refuse to part with?
I did not know that our burning bush was from the same species as our variegated euonymous! Thanks ECM! CMD, our variegated hold their leaves year round but our burning bush drop their leaves after they have turned a brilliant red

Peter Henlein: Inventor of Watches
If we think about the role of clocks and watches in modern life, it would be hard to imagine functioning without them! Society today has structured itself so that it runs according to the clock. However, as late as the mid-fifteenth century, clocks and watches, as we currently know them did not exist except perhaps in very rudimentary forms. Everything changed when a German locksmith called Peter Henlein invented a type of watch, in 1524, that was small enough to place in one's pocket.
While recorded evidence of Peter Henlein's early life is hard to come by, researchers do agree that he was likely born around 1480. Growing up in Nuremberg, Germany, Henlein was once implicated as a suspect in a crime case and sought refuge in a Franciscan monastery. During his time there, he took on an apprenticeship to learn how to be a locksmith. When Peter Henlein started experimenting with watch designs and technologies, he discovered the usefulness of springs. Inserting springs into a timepiece could allow the user to wind it and keep the watch ticking for several days. Although this system sounds archaic to modern readers, keep in mind that older devices relied on the sun or weights and balances to tell time. At some point, Henlein had the idea of combining the gadgetry required for watches with a container similar to the pomanders that were in popular use at the time. The resulting timepiece was a small egg-shaped container that revealed the watch when opened. It became known as the Nuremberg Egg or a pomander watch, and it was also the first portable watch in the world. Prior to Henlein's invention, time devices were public rather than personal - they were built and displayed in town squares or at the top of large buildings. Henlein's design completely changed the way people responded to the passing of time. Whereas life flowed at a more flexible pace earlier, the wide-spread use of watches after his invention created a much busier and fast-moving lifestyle.
As part of his other work, Henlein was occasionally commissioned to make clocks for cities. He was also embroiled in legal proceedings and pleas when his brother, Hermann, was arrested for murder and battery charges. Henlein's pleas fell on deaf ears and Hermann was eventually put to death for his crimes. Henlein continued his work in clock-making. Records show that he married a woman called Kunigunde Ernst in 1513. It is unclear whether they were separated or if she passed away, but by 1521, Henlein had taken a woman named Margarete as his second wife. Margarete did die in 1540, and a year later, Henlein married for a third time, this time to Walburg Schreyer. He died in 1542, at around 60 years of age. In the century after Henlein's death, watch-making progressed in leaps and bounds, with locksmiths and watchmakers fine-tuning the older designs and creating newer, more reliable models.
Although much of the world today has forgotten about Peter Henlein, he is still remembered by the community in Nuremberg. A monument bearing his image was erected in tribute to Henlein, by the German Watchmakers League. While some still argue whether Henlein can truly be considered the inventor of modern-day pocket watches, it is generally agreed that we can thank him for developing the essential technology that allowed individuals to have portable watches. Despite the prevalence of digital technology and LCD screens in modern wristwatches, many still choose to don analog timepieces – a throwback to a long line of tradition.

Living overseas, one of my joys is receiving mail!
My Mum chose this card 'Family Gathering' by Mary Kilvert
(Woodmansferne Publications)
to send to us - as she knew our family would all be together at Christmas!
It was a bit like this picture!! We had a lovely time!
I appreciate everything that comes to our letterbox but in particular I like the handmade items!
This shows a selection of the handmade cards we received.
I was very taken with the one made by my niece and her little boy:
I have seen quite a few 'finger-printed' cards around recently - so I thought I would have a go!
This is my version...
This was a tiny textured card base - the red circles were also textured paper. I used cream cardstock to print with red and brown inks.
I used black and brown Promarkers to add the features.
I think I prefer my niece and great-nephew's robins!!
Anyway, a bit of fun!
I then decided to have some more fun -
using the Brushless Watercolour Technique as advocated by Tim Holtz.
I made this tag according to Tim Holtz 101.
Then I decided to try it with two different stamps...
I was quite pleased with the results especially the poinsettia!
These then became the following Christmas cards - I mean to have a whole stack made come November!
Both these cards could be submitted to CHNC's Challenge 158 as in each case I have upcycled something...
This beautiful double bow came on one of the Christmas cards to us - I pinched it!
I am going to submit this to CHNC Challenge 158
CHNC extra January Challenge
Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge - ribbon or lace
Some friends came round bearing cake - the box was tied with this twine - the same colours as Distress Ink watercolours!! The sentiment was cut from an old Christmas card.
I am submitting this to
Merry Monday Challenge - ribbon/twine
Happy Crafting!

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The U.S. Justice Department says Rhode Island and the city of Providence violated the rights of the developmentally disabled by unnecessarily segregating them at a city school and a state-licensed employment program.
The department's Civil Rights Division alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act at the Harold H. Birch Vocational School and the Training Through Placement program in letters to the city and state last week.
Justice officials say a "sheltered workshop" at Birch where students worked long hours doing manual labor for little or no wages served for years as a "direct pipeline" to the similarly segregated Training Through Placement program.
WPRI-TV first reported on the investigation.
Mayor Angel Taveras (tuh-VEHR'-us) says the city shuttered Birch's program and removed its principal. The governor's spokeswoman had no immediate comment.

Regular price: $24.49
James Alexander Thom's Saint Patrick's Battalion is a stirring and evocative work of historical fiction, based on a true story, and vividly reimagining the circumstances under which a band of Irish and German Catholic men defected from the American forces during the Mexican-American war to fight instead for the opposing side. This exquisitely rendered novel tells a sweeping tale of tragedy, loyalty, love, and war.
The relative youth of main characters Paddy Quinn and Augustin Juvero is skillfully emphasized by voice actor William Dufris, whose expressive performance draws out very neatly their uncertainty in this period of complicated allegiances.
It is June 1845, and Paddy Quinn is a camp boy for the American army which, by order of President Polk, is bound for Mexico. A young man with journalistic aspirations, Paddy writes letters for illiterate soldiers and learns that, like him, many are Irish, including the enigmatic John Riley. Riley rattles camp hierarchy when he rails against the brutal treatment of Irish soldiers, but he soon goes further, sneaking away at night to switch sides. Riley is not alone. Fed up with mistreatment and drawn by a Catholic bond, Irish, German, and other soldiers join Mexico. Led by Riley, a corps of Irishman called the San Patricios in English, St. Patrick's Battalion fights for the enemy in the war's major campaigns. But when they are captured, their resolve is tested in the extreme, as are Paddy's loyalties to his country and to the man he most admires.
Alternating between Paddy's account and that of Augustin Juvero, a Mexican soldier, nationally best-selling author James Alexander Thom constructs an enlightening novel about war, duty, and loyalty, and draws intriguing parallels to our current conflict in Iraq. This is his most powerful and relevant novel since Follow the River.
"With its eerie parallels to modern-day warfare, this fine novel makes for gripping listening." (Booklist)
"Not only a striking (and often horrific) account of pre-Civil War army life, Quinn's narrative beautifully conveys the boy's coming of age against a backdrop of eerily familiar war and rebellion." (Publishers Weekly)
When I saw the title, I was excited to hear something about the St. Patrick Battalion that went over to Mexico. Yet, the story is so crudely told (lots of unnecessary details about sex and sex abuse that could easily be indicated in a more mature manner) that I gave up in the first chapter.

Any additional comments?
If you only ever read one story of war, it should be this well and uniquely crafted piece of historic fiction. This is the story of a war that the victors would prefer to forget or, failing that, to remember differently. It is written by a soldier-historian from the point of view of both sides. In short, war is hell but one side's devil can be other guy's saint. If, after reading this, you do not immediately check Google to determine if any or all of the events or players are accurately portrayed, it can only mean you do not have access to the internet.

"Holy crap, I learned today, that you don't piss off Adriel!"
Having located a mutilated corpse of a young man in a dumpster, I realize how serious the demon problem is. The markings on the body are the same as the markings on the other dead bodies that I was told about. That means one thing: I have to check out this club and the sooner the better. If that doesn't keep my plate full, I still have to deal with demon bad boy King Adriel and Raphael, my pain-in-the-butt mate, both want to control my life, or rather sex life, at least. First things first, find out who's killing people in my city.

"Story length too short."
This story episode is very short in length compared to series average episodes. The torture by "edging" was interesting touch. Knowing u have to have same sex hookups monthly with your maker shouldn't be such an issue to a cop. Cope with it and move in with rest of story
"Mischief is right!"
Continuing the story with Brian . How I am enjoying these audiobooks- again - I laugh and S
See what other mischief they get up too.
"Brian & Raphael are insatiable"
I'm addicted to reading so this is a hard one. To listen to Michael is a definite panty dropper
I have only listened to Nicholas's book, so I have nothing to compare it to.
I have to say my favorite scene in this book was when Raphael and Brian got punished by ,Adriel with Daylen. The pure ecstasy they felt from the tentacles was so hot
He leaned forward, kissing me passionately. I couldn't help but open my mouth a little, letting him slip me some tongue. He is as a fantastic kisser. I couldn't deny that. He pulled away smiling. "That was nice. I could make out with you for hours, I love the way you taste".
OMG this is quite the listen. Michael O'Shea does an incredible job narrating. I could listen to him all day long. I have read all of Nicholas Bella's books and he does such an amazing job with his characters and his darkness will leave you panting. You put both these men together and there are no words just lots of heavy breathing.
"another good one too bad is not the last one ."
another good one too bad is or the last one . I can't wait for the next one to come out on audio.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Gonzaga had an impressive weekend.
Elias Harris scored 24 points, Kevin Pangos added 23 and No. 17 Gonzaga beat Davidson 81-67 Sunday night in the Old Spice Classic championship game.
"We knew it was going to be tough," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. "That's just an unbelievably skilled team that is tough as nails. That fights you on every possession. We had to respond several different times to finally get it going in our direction. I think that bodes well for us down the road here."
Kelly Olynyk added 14 points for Gonzaga (6-0), which also won the 2008 Old Spice Classic. The Bulldogs are undefeated in six overall games at the tourney.
Davidson (3-3) got 17 points from Nik Cochran. Jake Cohen had 13 and De'Mon Brooks finished with 12.
"They've got some terrific offensive firepower," Davidson coach Bob McKillop said of Gonzaga. "They beat you at every spot. I thought they defend very well, too."
Both teams won two previous games in advancing to the title matchup. Gonzaga beat Oklahoma (72-47) and Clemson (57-49). Davidson posted victories over Vanderbilt (75-62) and West Virginia (63-60).
"It was a really good week for us," Few said. "We got tested in a variety of ways. Both with how the games flowed, but also with the different schemes and matchups that we faced."
Pangos connected on a 3 to give Gonzaga a 58-53 lead with eight minutes to play. The guard had another 3 to make it 64-57 two minutes later.
"My teammates got me open and I just let it fly," Pangos said.
Harris had consecutive baskets as the Bulldogs went up 74-63 with three minutes remaining.
Brooks' fast-break layup tied it at 51-all midway through the second. He spent parts of the final nine minutes on the bench after picking up his fourth foul.
Brooks and Cohen both fouled out late in the game.
Davidson, keyed by two baskets from Cohen, started the second half by scoring six straight to cut its deficit to 33-30. Clint Mann's 3-pointer three minutes into the half got the Wildcats within 35-33.
"They came hard with a push in the second half there, but some guys stepped up and made big plays," Olynyk said.
Harris had 11 points to help Gonzaga, which trailed by nine early on, take a 33-24 halftime lead. The forward, who moved past Steven Gray into 15th place on the school's all-time scoring list, had pair of baskets and a 3-point play to put the Bulldogs ahead 30-18 with 3:47 before the break.
Przemek Karnowski scored six points during a 11-2 run that got Gonzaga even at 15-all midway through the first half.
Cochran had five points, including a long-range jumper, and Brooks added two in-close baskets to help Davidson go up 13-4 just over four minutes into the game.

Scott Wismer knows his place.
The change is noticeable. Last season, he was a sophomore doing his best to fit in on the Curtis High School football team. And on that first day of preseason camp, he rotated among reserve fullback, inverted safety and heck – he was even a holder on field goal and PAT kicks.
And now he is the team's starting quarterback as a junior.
How did that evolve? By the end of the 2011 season, he was starting at tight end. He showed natural leadership. Coach Clay Angle noticed his overall football-related intelligence. And he was a big athlete who could move – and quickly.
"And we now have a system," Angle said, "where we don't have to throw it a ton."
Just in case, Wismer – who grew a few inches and gained 15 pounds in the offseason, and is now 6-foot-2, 175 pounds – attended a few Greg Barton Academy passing camps at Peninsula High School last winter.
The last time he had even THOUGHT about being a quarterback was in fifth grade – when he was the emergency signal caller.
But on Wednesday, as the Vikings went through their morning two-hour practice, there the left-hander was – whizzing out-route throws to receivers, handing the ball off to tailbacks, even showing a pretty good burst on quarterback keepers.
"Our new offense is working well," said Wismer, who is also a varsity baseball player. "The linemen have figured out the plays, and that makes it easy on me.
"This is different. Last year, I was a sophomore. My head was spinning. This year, I know what the coaches are asking of me. I am ready."

Albion, MI (PRWEB) February 10, 2013
Freedom Treatment Center remains on true to its mission of offer all-natural treatment options with its introduction of sauna detox for drug rehab. While the program may be new to the facility, the concept of cleansing the body through the skin pores has long been used for purging toxins from the body. The center is using the same sauna detox program offered to World Trade Center rescue workers who had been immersed in environmental hazards during their rescue efforts, and Freedom Treatment Center patients are seeing the same levels of success.
"More and more people are becoming interested in all-natural remedies for optimum health, especially those who are seeking a new, improved life of recovery from drug and alcohol addiction," said Freedom Treatment Center Executive Director John Walser. "Our sauna detox has already been hugely successful with numerous patients who were seeking an effective and natural way to purge years' worth of drugs, alcohol and other poisons from their bodies."
The center's sauna detox program incorporates a daily sauna session into a comprehensive plan that also includes exercise, vitamins and additional supplements. The overall goal is to flush out toxins stored in fat tissues and restore the metabolic balance so crucial to optimum health and well-being.
"Each of these program components have biologic roles that support healing," the Townsend Letter periodical reports. "The integrity of physiological systems – including those associated with detoxification, cellular repair, immune processes, and neural and endocrine function – depends upon nutritional and vitamin status."
Studies and case reports supporting the safety and benefits of sauna detoxification have been published in numerous journals, including the American Journal of the Medical Sciences, Ambio: A Journal of the Human Environment and Archives of Environmental Health: An International Journal. These studies and reports showed sauna detoxification's effectiveness for helping to eliminate a wide range of stored toxins, inclusive of pesticides, dioxins, PBBs, PCBs and, of course, various drugs.
"The evidence that shows our sauna detox works is very good," said Freedom Treatment Center Senior Director Dominick Assante, "but the results we see in our patients is even better. Those who have been through our sauna detox feel better, look better and have increased energy levels and a fresh state of mind that greatly contribute to creating and sustaining their new way of life."
Located in a semi-residential pocket of Southern Michigan, Freedom Treatment Center provides the soothing and safe environment and assistance so vital for helping people overcome drug and alcohol addiction. Treatment begins with a natural detoxification and continues with counseling, education and lifestyle changes that help ensure an ongoing and successful recovery.

ANCHORAGE (AP) -- The coach of the hockey team at the University of Alaska Anchorage has been removed from his job.
The university announced Friday that Dean Talafous was being reassigned and the athletic department was looking for a new hockey coach.
The move came after a season when the Seawolves won just seven games and lost 24. The team had five ties.
Talafous replaced Brush Christiansen in 1996 to become just the second hockey coach for the university.
Last fall, the university gave Talafous a contract extension for the 2002 and 2003 season with a six-percent raise. His base salary this season was nearly $90,000.

Holloway Bemoans Cathcart Absence At Cardiff
Cardiff City will face Blackpool this weekend with the Tangerines missing a big player in centre-half Craig Cathcart. The former Manchester United trainee has suffered an injury to his calf and will miss several weeks.
Fans familiar with Championship football will remember Cathcart coming to prominence with a loan move to Plymouth Argyle. He was clearly a promising strong defender with a good future ahead of him. Malky Mackay took him on loan to Watford before Holloway swooped to land Cathcart on a permanent deal to Blackpool.
Cathcart suffered his injury prior to the surprise 3-1 defeat to Huddersfield Town. Blackpool had won their previous game 4-1 (against Middlesborough) but with Ian Evatt stepping in for Cathcart - they conceded three.
Pool had only conceded three in their six Championship matches thus far this season, so conceding three to the Terriers in one game, at home - was a surprise.
Speaking ahead of the trip to Cardiff, Ian Holloway stated:
"Craig has been terrific for us, along with my whole defence, but we conceded three against Huddersfield and it`s back to the drawing board."

What is the YouTube Symphony Orchestra?
The YouTube Symphony Orchestra 2011 (youtube.com/symphony) is a global online audition for a collaborative orchestra to meet and perform at Sydney Opera House in March, 2011, under the direction of conductor Michael Tilson Thomas. In October, 2010, musicians around the world were invited to audition for the opportunity to participate in a week-long summit of rehearsals and performances at the iconic Sydney Opera House. In January, YouTube announced the 97 members and 4 soloists from more than 30 countries who will make up the Orchestra. The YouTube Symphony Orchestra 2011 follows the success of the original YouTube Symphony Orchestra that brought musicians to New York's Carnegie Hall in April, 2009.
What will be in the March 20 performance?
What's the goal?
The YouTube Symphony Orchestra 2011 uses YouTube's global platform to give musicians access to leaders of the classical music world, and to Sydney Opera House, whatever their background. Building on the YouTube Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, the week-long summit in Sydney will inspire further creativity and musical innovation by combining new technologies with a centuries-old musical tradition, and elevate classical music through the diverse community of YouTube.
What was the original YouTube Symphony Orchestra?
In April 2009, YouTube brought more than 90 musicians from 30 countries to Carnegie Hall to form the world's first collaborative online orchestra. The sell-out performance under the direction of San Francisco Symphony Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas was the culmination of an online audition that garnered submissions from over 70 countries on six continents.
Why Sydney Opera House?
Sydney Opera House is an iconic location, a world heritage building, and a global symbol of the arts. By taking the YouTube Symphony Orchestra from New York's Carnegie Hall across the globe to Sydney we are broadening the horizons of this project, one which already breaks down geographic borders by opening up the audition process online.
How did the audition process work?
There were two categories: a classical audition; and a solo improvisation. For the classical audition musicians submitted a video performance from the pieces listed on youtube.com/symphony according to instrument. New for the YTSO2011 was a search for solo improvisers, regardless of instrument. For the solo improvisation, musicians performed an original improvisation over the new composition, "Mothership," by Mason Bates.
How did the selection process work?
An international expert judging panel consisting of representatives from the London Symphony Orchestra, and other musical experts selected a number of entries to be voted on by the YouTube community. The YouTube community then voted for its favourites. The final decision of who participates in the YouTube Symphony Orchestra 2011 rests with the creative director, Michael Tilson Thomas.
What is the improvisational piece "Mothership"?
Mothership is a new, innovative composition by Mason Bates that the YouTube community is invited to add their take to, and ultimately help perform. Musicians and artists around the world were invited to demonstrate their musical creativity by using Bates' orchestral track to create and submit a solo improvisation, without restriction on instrument or musical genre.
Where/when can I watch the final performance?
The final performance on March 20, 2011 (8pm local time), will be streamed live on youtube.com/symphony. Tickets for the performance at Sydney Opera House will be available to the public at SydneyOperaHouse.com.
What are the "master class" videos?
The London Symphony Orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and other leading orchestras created a series of instructional "master class" videos to help musicians interested in participating in the YouTube Symphony Orchestra prepare for their auditions. These videos will continue to live on youtube.com/symphony for anyone who wants to learn.

To better understand the Dystopian / Post-Apocalyptic series, understand one of the more under-developed characters in The Judas Syndrome . The Angel, Leif's Blank Man:
Named Blank Man by a six year old child, this omnipotent presence that first revealed itself to the child's father in the form of an animal avatar, and then to the boy once his father had forsaken his destiny, and his life, takes no form save that which those who can see him give him.
Blank Man, as the name suggests, appears as a halo outlining the silhouette of a man to the fatherless boy. His voice is gentle and calm. His wisdom ancient and his message clear. Destiny, which rules over all living things, rules over man most mercilessly. Destiny will be fulfilled regardless the tool it uses to guide its purpose, while being mindful of the repercussions. It is seemingly merciless to mankind because of the double-edged sword of knowledge and ambition we so prize.
The Blank Man has been preordained with the task of guiding a group of Apocalypse survivors to realizing their destiny, one individual in particular. But in order for this individual to realize his destiny, many players must also follow a path, unbeknownst to them. The inherent difficulty in choreographing a greater destiny in beings blessed with free-will becomes obvious.
Though an enlightened being, Blank Man, manipulating events on an ever-expanding cast of characters in an effort to bring about the destiny he has been fated to arrange, struggles with the rebellious nature inherent in humanity.
No one can escape their destiny. He knows this. He has seen this play out time and again throughout history. Joel, Blank Man's first contact, and the one chosen for this end, went mad with the idea that a people's life is prearranged, and that nothing they do, no matter how much free-will is assigned them, nothing they can do will change that path.
Realizing Joel's rebellious nature and obvious downward spiral, Blank Man took it upon himself to be certain the destiny he was influencing was not lost. He played the characters in Joel's circle perfectly in order to eliminate Joel from the larger destiny, placing the onus on the baby, now growing in his girlfriend's belly.
Joel enacted his end in a final, defiant deed, regardless his attempts to flee his destiny. But his end did not fulfill the grater destiny promised, and so, Blank Man passed this destiny on to Joel's son.
As Sara, Joel's girlfriend, took it upon herself to go north with her newborn, Blank Man would now refer to the events he had already set in motion to compensate for Joel's failed attempt. This was a new path toward the same destiny, as it would play out through Leif, Joel's son. This path had been planned long before the Apocalypse had been realized, and many more put in place should Leif fail in his attempt.
Leif felt the Angel's presence from a time when he was very young, and at age six, Blank Man revealed himself to Leif. "I will take a face when you give me one," He said to the young boy, but Leif never gave his Blank Man a face.
To approach the child at an early age gave Blank Man an advantage over the approach he used with Joel, at eighteen. This offered him the opportunity to mould a mind willing to under-take the role Destiny would ask of him.
Leif and his Blank Man became great friends, and Leif an exceptional student. The destiny once forsaken, would again be questioned, but would it ever be realized?

The new 'it' genre is Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic, lighting a nuc under Vampires and Zombies
Replacing the Vampire craze that has inundated the YA and fiction world the past few years is Dystopia. The idea that real life catastrophes could happen to everyday people (like the end of life as we know it) is a far more frightening 'reality', with so many more avenues for self discovery than Vampires and monsters, and teens are starting to pick up on that vibe. Look at what's hot right now, The Hunger Games Trilogy, The Passage, The Judas Syndrome Trilogy, new books like Jeyn Roberts recently penned Dark Inside, which was just picked up by McMillan press in the UK. It's obvious where the world psyche lies right now. Dystopian themes are exploding onto the scene and most are driven by an apocalyptic event. Sure, this genre has ruled over the science fiction world in the past, but has matured and grown into a seperate genre with a dedicated following. Look into these top picks while you still have the chance. Because if the universal mind is bent on Dystopia, you might want to learn a thing or two before the end comes.

Dystopian work for Canadian author - Jeyn Roberts - picked up by McMillan
Very excited for this author. Jeyn Roberts, author of Dark Inside has been picked up by McMillan and being marketed as The Road (by Cormack McaCarthy) meets 28 Days Later. The Road is one of my favourtie books in the Post-Apocalyptic genre, and 28 Days Later was a well received movie series on the end times. Put them together and you have a very interesting premise for a book.
Looking forward to reading and reviewing this book. Jeyn has a presence on facebook and goodreads and will likely see a massive influx of fans on both social networks. The book can be found on Amazon.com as a Kindle and hardcover now.

New review of The Judas Syndrome, on Amazon, by Jaidis Shaw
There must be a balance between books and their endings. Some must end happily and others are destined to go the darker route, such as The Judas Syndrome by Michael Poeltl. We are introduced to your average teenagers that are carefree and optimistic about their futures. In an attempt to put off summer jobs and escape the gloom brought on by threats of the apocalypse, the group of teens gather for a camping weekend. Upon returning home, the teens are forced to discover that the threats came true and the world has fallen victim to nuclear attack. It is clear to see who the main teenagers are as they are forced to grow up and plan for their survival. Joel is deemed the leader of the group although he never saw himself as the leading type. Other main characters are Connor, Sara, Eric and Jake. Most of the other teens in the group stay as secondary characters. I am certain that the secondary group will have their time to shine in the second book to this series. There is a lot of drug use throughout the book and at first I figured it was just kids being kids. I expected drug use to be the furthest thing from the kids minds while they are trying to survive so I was surprised that not only was it an important part, but the leading cause of Joel's insanity spree. The reader should expect that beginning with the title, this book will have to end on a sad note in order for a more positive message to shine through. Friendships and inner turmoils are put to the test...the Judas test. I am curious to see where the survivors lead in the second installment. There was mild adult language, heavy drug use, and somewhat bloody descriptions, so this book is better suited for an adult audience. - Jaidis Shaw

Yeah, the thing is, i use (like probably most DDs) the irc channels without really being an expert, and without wanting to loose long hours reading badly accessible documentation (and freenode is as bad as oftc on this account, despite some claiming it is better). This is i believe normal, and whatever network is chosen, it should be easily usable out of the box, without initiatic knowledge :) > >Also, i guess that if you allow none-reg /querying, this leaves you open to > >wide amount of irc-spam that has been circulating in freenode, and supposedly > >oftc is (still) less vulnerable to this. > Currently spam is not a major issue.

|Oracle Receivables: Golden Tax Adaptor for Mainland China User's Guide
Release 12.1
Part Number E13436-04
This chapter covers the following topics:
Golden Tax is one of the Golden Projects initiated by the Chinese government to modernize the information technology of that country. The Golden Tax project refers to an integrated nationwide value-added tax (VAT) monitoring system. It was launched to establish a national computerized taxation network to eliminate tax evasion by business establishments. Under this Golden Tax project, all businesses operating in Mainland China are required to use a government-certified tax software referred to as Golden Tax software for generating VAT invoices, VAT calculations, and statutory tax reporting. Chinese government policies require all businesses to issue all VAT invoices through the Golden Tax system.
The Golden Tax Adaptor application provides a seamless integration between Oracle Receivables and the Golden Tax software system. The Golden Tax Adaptor application also streamlines the process of creating VAT invoices against Oracle Receivables documents. This feature integrates with the Golden Tax software provided by the Aisino Corporation, which is the leading provider of Golden Tax software in Mainland China.
The preceding diagram illustrates the integration of Golden Tax Adaptor with the Aisino Golden Tax System. Key points about the Golden Tax Adaptor are:
The Golden Tax Adaptor is built on top of Oracle Receivables and Oracle E-Business Tax. The Golden Tax Adaptor is a central repository of data used by Oracle Receivables and the Aisino Golden Tax system.
The Golden Tax Adaptor application consists of tables, a workbench, concurrent programs, and XML publisher reports.
Receivables data for invoices, debit memos, and credit memos can be transferred to the Golden Tax Adaptor by request or periodically.
The Golden Tax Invoice Workbench lets you manage, consolidate, and modify the data that is transferred from Receivables before you export the data.
You can export data from the Golden Tax Adaptor to a data file. All required validations are performed at the time of export.
You can export Golden Tax Adaptor data files into the Aisino Golden Tax system. You can then generate VAT invoices from the Aisino system and send them to customers.
Aisino software allows you to export the VAT invoice data from its system to a data file.
You can import the data file containing the VAT invoice data from the Aisino software into the Golden Tax Adaptor. During this import, the VAT invoice data is validated with the corresponding receivables invoice data in the Golden Tax Adaptor and then updated.
Using the Golden Tax Invoice Workbench, you can view VAT invoice information against the corresponding receivables invoice in the View VAT Invoices window and from the Receivables Transactions window.
Golden Tax Discrepancy and Invoice Mapping reports let you audit and report discrepancies in data between receivables and VAT invoices.
You can use the Golden Tax Invoice Consolidation Mapping report to view the mapping between Golden Tax Adaptor invoices and Consolidated Golden Tax Adaptor Invoices.
Major features of the Golden Tax Adaptor include:
The application supports receivables transactions for invoices, debit memos, and credit memos, for both inventory and non inventory items.
Invoice Splitting: The VAT regime in China specifies limits for the maximum amount of a single VAT invoice and for the maximum number of lines that can be printed on a single VAT. The Golden Tax Adaptor lets you set limits for your organization, and splits the receivables invoices into multiple VAT invoices in accordance with these limits.
VAT Invoices: The enterprises in China can issue the following VAT type invoices and specify different VAT limits to them:
Special: when a sale is made to another organization, Special VAT invoice is issued.
Common: if the sale is made to an individual, Common VAT Invoice is issued.
Recycle: if a company that runs a recycle business, as a general taxpayer, it should issue Recycle VAT invoices to purchasers.
You can identify the invoice type of receivables invoices when you transfer the receivables invoices to the Golden Tax Adaptor.
Transfer Rules: Transfer rules help you define the criteria for selecting the receivables data that must be transferred to the Golden Tax Adaptor. Transfer rules simplify the process of transferring receivables data to the Golden Tax Adaptor. When you transfer receivables data to the Golden Tax Adaptor, you can use your specific transfer rule instead of specifying all parameters. You can define a rule according to your specific selection criteria.
Sales List Invoices: A sales list is a document that accompanies the VAT invoice and contains the details of the line items for which the VAT invoice is issued. When a sales list accompanies a VAT invoice, all detailed line items do not have to be included on the VAT invoice. Instead, you can print a summary line on the invoice and refer to the sales list for details. When a sales list is issued, receivables invoices do not need to be into multiple VAT invoices. The Golden Tax Adaptor supports this functionality when the limit on the sales list maximum number of lines is not enforced.
Golden Tax Invoice Workbench: You can use this workbench to:
Edit receivables data in Golden Tax Adaptor before you export the data.
Generate the data file.
Control invoice status.
Consolidate multiple Golden Tax Adaptor invoices.
Status Control: Status control is enabled in the Golden Tax Adaptor to ensure data consistency. Once the data is exported from the Adaptor, you cannot modify it in the workbench. However, once the Golden Tax Adaptor invoice is consolidated into a consolidated Golden Tax Adaptor invoice, you cannot modify it in the workbench, unless the consolidated Golden Tax Adaptor invoice is deleted or unconsolidated.

My body had been out of sorts for as long as I can remember, I had tried all the conventional methods with no real solution, then I met with Dr. Laura. She is amazing, sympathetic and treats the cause from the roots, no quick fixes. After doing tests to find the real cause, she suggested a few do-able tweaks to my diet, I have never felt more on track and healthier. Thank you Dr. Laura for all that you have done for me, I am so grateful to have met you and so is my body.

... thanks to RedHat, who made the install process much smoother and understandable to non-developers (...). DF isn't focused on this regard -- from a technical standpoint, installation issues aren't terribly interesting, and mostly involve tedious bugfixing and tweaking to run on ill-behaved hardware -- so I'd have to say no, it probably won't have an effect here.
Several of Matt's ideas *will* make the system more friendly to average users, so I disagree with your claim. There are already firm ideas on a better installation process, and he's hoping to make it much easier and less-errorprone for the user to keep all their ports in sync.
I'd say it's too soon to sit back in our armchairs and wax poetic about what Dragonfly will and will not be. At this point in OpenBSD's development, it was just a fork and it didn't have a personality of its own. What Dragonfly will be in five years will depend on what projects are tackled by Dragonfly developers.

Your suggestions/comments are welcome
In #1 the crop is uninspiring. The Model is lovely and her expression is sensuous and pleasant. I think it needs creative correction in order to be a portrait.
In #2 the pose is nice, but the camera angle that is too low is probably not displaying the model at her best.
In #3 the pose doesn't work. It creates tension with the tree. The model seems to be resisting the tree. I would like to see a closely cropped bust (head and shoulders) of this one. I think it would soar.
where is everyone getting the hot asian models?

ATLANTA (AP) -Corey Maggette and Milwaukee's reserves led the Bucks to their first winning streak of the season and left the stunned Atlanta Hawks with a three-game losing streak.
Maggette and his fellow reserves outscored Atlanta's backups 35-6 in the first half and the Bucks continued their offensive awakening, beating the Hawks 108-91 on Wednesday night.
The Hawks began the season 6-0 before the three straight losses, including two at home. The lopsided loss to the Bucks stunned the Hawks.
``It's hard to explain,' said Hawks center Al Horford. ``I don't understand what happened.'
The Bucks struggled with their offense early in the season and were last in the league in scoring with only 89.6 points per game before taking a 107-80 win over the New York Knicks on Tuesday night.
Maggette had 20 points and Brandon Jennings added 19 as the Bucks took back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
The Bucks trailed by 13 points in the opening period before taking a lopsided 33-14 advantage in the second period for a 54-40 lead at the break. The bench led the second-quarter surge.
``We've got to give our bench a lot of credit tonight,' said Bucks coach Scott Skiles. ``They came out and not only got us back in the game but, I believe, we had a 27-point turnaround in the first half.'
The Bucks continued to stretch the lead after halftime. Jennings had back-to-back 3-pointers late in the third period to stretch the advantage to 30 points at 88-58.
``When adversity hit us in the face, we went our separate ways,' said Atlanta's Josh Smith, who had 8 points and 8 rebounds. ``We'll figure out what's going wrong, and we'll fix it really quick.'
Skiles said the Bucks should receive a confidence boost from the win.
``Hey, look, if you come in here and are up (30) points over the Hawks, you're obviously doing something right out there,' Skiles said.
Ersan Ilyasova had 17 points and John Salmons had 16 for Milwaukee.
Backup center Zaza Pachulia led the Hawks with 16. Horford had 14 points but only six rebounds as the Bucks took a 44-32 advantage on the boards.
Horford had 10 points in the first period as Atlanta's starters claimed a 20-7 lead. The advantage began to disappear when Hawks coach Larry Drew began substituting.
``Our starters have gotten us off to fast starts,' Drew said. ``I'm not getting the energy from the bench. ... That's the third game that's happened to us. I have to find better combinations to use that can sustain the energy.'
The Hawks were stretched to seven games before beating the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs last season.
``This is a whole new season,' said Milwaukee's Andrew Bogut, who had 8 points. ``People are going to build this rivalry up because they beat us in the playoffs, but it's pretty much a whole new team.'
The Hawks couldn't match the Bucks' intensity, especially in the second and third periods, when Milwaukee outscored Atlanta 67-33.
Drew said his players were too easily frustrated.
``When it gets a little tough, we have a tendency to hold our heads down,' Drew said. ``I don't want to see our guys hang their heads.'
Joe Johnson made only 5 of 13 shots for 13 points. A highlight for the Hawks was rookie Jordan Crawford, who set a personal high with 11.
Notes: Bucks F Carlos Delfino missed his second straight game with a neck strain. ... Hawks forwards Marvin Williams (bone bruise in his right knee) and Maurice Evans (sore right knee) were held out after working out Wednesday morning. Williams has missed four straight games, and the Hawks are 1-3 without the starter. ... Bibby passed 14,000 career points with his first basket.

|Operational principles for good pharmaceutical procurement (UNICEF - UNFPA - WB - WHO/EDM, 1999, 32 p.)
Pharmaceutical procurement is a complex process involving many steps, agencies, ministries and manufacturers. Problems are common. They include inadequate regulations and structures, insufficient or spasmodic government funding, inexperienced staff and lack of unbiased market information. Additionally, donor agencies may have conflicting procurement rules, while decentralization of drug procurement to provinces or districts can increase costs and decrease efficiency.
With this document, the Interagency Pharmaceutical Coordination Group aims to improve pharmaceutical procurement practices, and to increase cooperation among governments and donors. The text has been extensively reviewed by experts from international agencies, governments, nongovernmental organizations, the pharmaceutical industry, essential drugs supply agencies and academia.
The approach sets out four strategic objectives and 12 operational principles for good procurement, which can be adapted by users. The principles are grouped into four categories: management, drug selection and quantification, financing and competition, supplier selection and quality assurance. Although applicable to all types of pharmaceutical procurement, the principles are primarily targeted at public sector health systems, no matter what combination of public and private services is used to manage those systems. Practical implementation issues and mechanisms to further improve procurement are also examined.
This is an interagency consensus document published by the WHO Department of Essential Drugs and Medicines Policy on behalf of the organizations listed.

Stocks sank to their knees at the start of this week as if shot by firing squad with rubber bullets, bruised but not dead, after some weak earnings reports combined with fears that Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke was about to tell Congress that the economy sucked enough to worry about, but not enough to prompt emergency action.
But by noon Tuesday, Bernanke sounded a bit more accommodating in his role as wonky professor at a freshman econ seminar on the House floor, and maybe those earnings reports weren't so bad after all, you know? And then, what the heck, traders shifted into "ramp 'em" mode — and before you knew it, the Dow Jones Industrials were up more than 80 points two days in a row, and all kinds of frowns were turned upside down.
So is the rally all about the Fed and how it might goose markets again with a fresh round of money printing? Bernanke might wish he had that effect, but that's not really the case — as none of the other security classes that would normally be expected to move strongly in response to further easing did so. The dollar finished flat, gold tumbled and Treasuries certainly didn't reflect an expansive change in monetary policy.
The reality is that stocks rose for all the reasons we have been discussing endlessly the past few months: First, earnings in this crazy post-crisis era are rarely as bad as feared because executives have refined their ability to manipulate results. Second, bears keep failing to take advantage of their opportunities to land lethal blows. And third, at a time when government bond yields are at 300-year lows, fund managers are simply forced to buy stocks to make money for customers.
The last is the key. No longer can pension managers leverage up to turn 4% Treasury yields into a 8% return. Fed policy is forcing them into equities, and they are taking the bait. As long as earnings are not collapsing, they have no choice. So they are buying large-cap value companies with relatively large dividends, such as Johnson & Johnson JNJ, -2.57% and Altria MO, -1.12% and real estate trusts, and using them as bond proxies with an equity kicker. Add in some dividend paying old-line techs like Intel INTC, -0.66% and Microsoft MSFT, -1.81% and voila — you have a rally.
If the economy truly tanks in the future, there will be hell to pay. But for now, the game is to aim for 10% capital appreciation and 3% dividend income, and try to make up the ground lost over the past 15 months when equities were as flat as a government bond yield. Time waits for no man, but especially not for pension managers who promised their customers 7.75% annual returns.
Keep in mind that the S&P 500 is only up 9% in total with dividends since January 2000 (-7% without dividends), yet companies have contracts with pensioners that mandate 7%-8% returns per year. So there is roughly 90 percentage points of return missing for the many millions of Americans with old-school civil-service or corporate pensions. Dude, where's my retirement?
At some point, managers have to make up that ground, or at least stop missing their bogey, so they are using every excuse to buy high-yielding stocks that they can own without holding their noses. Those are all the ones we have been talking about — health care, utilities, consumer staples. Shunned are the ones with punk dividends or have given everyone trouble, like the banks. It's not complicated.
Bottom line is that you should not get too worked up about the latest bad economic report, Fed fake-out or corporate scandal. And likewise, don't lust after the high-beta stocks of yesteryear. Stick with the low-beta companies with skilled management teams with unique product sets that are navigating their companies through difficult waters, such as Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, the utilities and the like. They're getting expensive, but they are reliable, liquid and won't blow up.
It might sound nuts to invest when there are signs of a recession barreling down the pike — with retail sales down, wages down, hours worked down employment growth anemic and GDP growth stuck at 1% at best. All are classic symptoms of a low point in the economic cycle.
And, in fact, ECRI leading and coincident indicators suggest that a recession may already be here. But paradoxically, that could actually be a plus. Because it's the threat of going into recession that causes a lot of the downside in stocks. Once a recession has already materialized, the next step for investors is to discount the recovery.
Livelier stocks that are suitable for both recessions and recoveries are rare. One of my model's favorites along these lines for the past two years has been discount apparel retailer Ross Stores ROST, +0.38% Shares are up 45% already this year, so it's not exactly undiscovered, but it's not overpriced and can be bought on pullbacks.
Here's the story. Operating under the retail names Ross Dress for Less and dd's Discounts. Ross is the third largest off-price apparel and home fashion retailer in the U.S., with a combined 1,125 stores in 29 states. Ross Stores' approach is to offer name-brand and designer apparel at savings of 20% to 60% off traditional department store prices.
Ross has been hugely successful, amassing $8.6 billion in revenues last year. The company dates back to the 1950s when Morris Ross opened the first store in San Bruno, California. But the chain did not take off until 30 years later when a group of investors led by rival Mervyns founder Mervin Morris bought the small chain of six stores and converted them to an off-price apparel chain.
The off-price retail strategy was already very successful on the East Coast, but was largely unknown in the western United States. As a result, the new owners wanted to expand as quickly as possible in California before competition ramped up.
The new format of Ross Stores grew quickly in the 1980s and '90s, as the footprint expanded to 30 stores over 15 years. The new owners' expansion strategy was simple: Acquire existing stores in strip malls and free-standing units that were out of business, and convert them to Ross stores as soon as possible.
Outside of an early '80s period of major losses and store closures stemming from a severe recession, Ross Stores' aggressive growth strategy has paid off by feeding off the needs, not just the wants, of a price-conscious but fashion-lusting public.
So who is the typical Ross Stores customer?
Is it the low-end consumer looking for heavily discounted designer apparel? Or is it the traditional department store consumer who wants a bargain? Or even the higher-end consumer who's both picky and price conscious? Well, it's all of the above, and that's a big part of the reason the company has been so successful.
According to an analyst who follows this sector, Ross' formidable size gives it an advantage over its peers as it has developed deep relationships with vendors and manufacturers. It has 500 buyers for the Ross Stores brand alone working with nearly 8,000 vendors worldwide.
Another huge differentiator for the retailer is the way it manages inventory. It incorporates a wide-and-shallow focus, choosing to stock several styles from different manufacturers, but in smaller quantities. This stops the firm from being saddled with tons of inventory of out-of-style or slow-moving fashions.
Michael Balmuth now runs the show, having been appointed as chief executive in 1996. He's been with the firm since 1989 in a number of executive roles and has experienced nearly every market environment. Ross Stores is in excellent financial shape, with nearly $500 million in net cash.
The biggest threat to the retailer is the advent of online off-price retailers that have duplicated its relationships with manufacturers. Yet clothing is a different animal than electronics. There are a lot of consumers who will never purchase apparel online. At least that's what Ross Stores is banking on.
So far, the company has been right, as profits have grown at a 22% annual clip the last five years. Despite the tremendous advance movement in the shares, up 1500% in the past 12 years, they are trading at a reasonable 18x next year's earnings estimates and a 1.7 price/sales multiple. That's not cheap, but investors are paying up for consistency.
The company reports calendar second-quarter earnings on August 16. Buy only on pullbacks to the 50- or 200-day averages, which happen a few times a year.
Disclosure: Mr. Markman owns ROST.

After asking for a traffic light for years, residents of Bel Air's English Country Manor community near Harford Mall may finally be getting a solution to what they believe is a dangerous intersection.
Residents of English Country Manor, and other developments off Gateway Drive, have to use the intersection at Boulton Street and Gateway Drive, which does not have a traffic light, to get in and out of their communities. There are a number of businesses along Gateway, as well, including the Bel Air Post Office.
Last year, the town of Bel Air installed a camera that detects back-ups on Gateway Drive and then regulates the nearby signals on Boulton Street at Best Buy and at Tollgate Road.
In the past, however, town officials were reluctant to commit to installing a traffic light at Gateway, citing both the cost and the proximity to two other signals along Boulton Street.
For John Meeks, a resident of English Country Manor, the effort with the camera was not enough.
Meeks has regularly attended Bel Air town meetings to urge the town commissioner to make a traffic light a priority.
He may finally get his wish.
In the recently introduced and proposed fiscal year 2013 budget, the town could be allocating $150,000 to install a traffic signal at Boulton and Gateway.
Especially with a new condominium development, called Legacy at Gateway, being built off Gateway Drive, Town Administrator Chris Schlehr says it's the right the right time to install the traffic signal.
"The community there has been asking about it and has been behind it for a number of years, and I think obviously we see that there's a need for it," Schlehr said Thursday.
The budget proposal is Schlehr's. It must still be approved by the five-member Board of Town Commissioners in the coming weeks. The board and Schlehr haven't always seen eye-to-eye on the need for the traffic signal.
It is still too early to tell a timeline for the project, but Schlehr noted the design for the light is already completed. If the project is approved in the budget, he added, the town will start to line up construction.
At this early stage, Meeks said he and other people have discussed the light at the English Country Manor Board of Directors meetings and everyone is "looking forward to it."
"We're very pleased that the traffic light has been funded again for this budget year," he said Wednesday, "and we're looking forward to a much safer intersection."

Parakeet - Questions and Answers
A visitor writes in:
My Parakeet keeps Biting Me
I luv my new parakeet, and in fact she seemed to think the same of me. Recently though, she's been biting me, and I can't see any reason that would provoke such behavior. I desperately want her love what can I do to teach her that biting is wrong without hurting her fellings?????? Thanx.
My Response:
There are several answers here. The general covers-all-situations answer is that parakeets LOVE to gnaw. It's how they keep their beaks trimmed. In the wild, parakeets gnaw their way into trees to build their nests. Are you sure you have plenty of things for your parakeet to gnaw in her cage? You need at least one cuttlebone and a few wooden toys are also good. Also, give your parakeet vegetables to gnaw, that keeps her full of vitamins that she needs and also lets her gnaw. She may be biting you in desperation because she has nothing else to chew on.
Next, with each of my parakeets, I found that they were REALLY cuddly when we first got them, then they would go through their "sullen teenage years". Parakeets only live to 10-14 years old so their teenage years come maybe in years 1-2. They get nippy and bitey at this point and don't want to be interacted with as much. They get through that stage relatively quickly and become much more friendly again, but it's part of how they grow up.
Finally, something could really be bothering your parakeet and this is how she's showing her unhappiness. Do you hang out with her a lot? Parakeets HATE to be alone so if you're away for a lot of the day it might be wise to get her a flock-mate. Parakeets are flock animals and in the wild they live in gigantic flocks with hundreds of birds in them. A bird that is all alone feels like they are in extreme danger and need to get back with the others. If that's you, and you're away a lot, that could cause a great deal of stress for the parakeet. So do your best to keep the parakeet in a location where there are people, or to get her a friend!
Best of luck,
