Morgan Stanley Drops John Paulson: CNBC Report
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
CNBC's Mary Thompson is reporting this afternoon that Morgan Stanley Wealth Management (MS) has dropped John Paulson'sAdvantage and Advantage Plus funds, changing the status of the funds from "watch" to "redeem."
MS's wealth-management unit had put the funds on "watch" midyear on account of their poor performance, she notes. It's not a big hit in terms of assets, if Thompson's numbers are correct:
Paulson's firm declined comment. A person familiar with the funds said assets in the two funds held by Morgan Stanley's brokerage clients totaled around $100 million. The two funds managed a combined $5.7 billion as of November 1, 2012. The source said other Paulson funds continue to be offered by Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.
The move follows a tough 2011 and what has been shaping up as a relatively weak 2012.
The 2011 troubles, driven by unsuccessful bets on the financial sector, gave way this year to disappointing bets on the gold sector.
Paulson is the biggest single holder of the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) ETF, which is ahead by 6% or so YTD. But bets on mining companies haven't panned out.
Among the stocks Paulson owned at the end of the third quarter, the latest glimpse at his portfolio: Gold Fields (GFI) is down by 19%, AngloGold Ashanti (AU) is off 24% and NovaGold Resources (NG) is down by 45%.
Here's Paulson's third-quarter portfolio disclosure.

On Monday Night Raw, the WWE is attempting to boost ratings by bringing back an age-old concept, the Slammy Awards. The company is pimping the show as being a form of the Oscars -- only better.
While some may argue that the Slammy is a "real" award, much like (or unlike) the WWE Hall of Fame, Monday night should provide entertainment the over-30 crowd cringes at and the 25-under crowd yearns for.
Two of SLAM! Wrestling's regular writers, Matt Bishop and Matt Mackinder, debate the Slammys and each give valid takes on the show, as well as their picks for each award.
Bishop's editorial will be in regular text, while Mackinder's will be italicized.
Finally, World Wrestling Entertainment is putting the 'E' back in WWE,
presenting the always-entertaining Slammy Awards for the first time in 11
years this Monday on RAW.
To me, the Slammys always highlighted the fun side of WWE. Who will ever forget the epic performance of If You Only Knew or the first incarnation of Vince McMahon hilariously shaking his backside during his memorable performance of Stand Back?
Funny you should mention Vince because knowing his Idaho-sized ego, he makes his return from the dead (again) tomorrow night and makes the show all about him. And maybe Triple H, too. But I do think all the wrestlers, er, Superstars, er entertainers, should do another version of If You Only Knew, but change the chorus to 'If you only knew/who's getting fired next/you'd be checking the Internet message boards/and then you'd go and text.'
Once the '90s hit, Todd Pettengill's show-opening serenades brought excitement to the program. If we're only so lucky, maybe today's version of Pettengill, the venerable Todd Grisham, can continue his hilarity and take to the stage a perform a little ditty.
If Grisham gets on stage, God help us. Maybe Matt Striker can add some backup, or maybe the Boogeyman makes an appearance. That said, the early '90s were a unique time in the WWE and to try and re-create that is a sham in my opinion.
How can you not look back with fondness at the time Owen Hart claimed his second Slammy Award, flat out stealing the award for Best Bow Tie, claiming, "I did it again. I have nobody to thank, once again I did it all by my sweet little self. Two-time Slammy Award winner! I knew it! I'm a winner! I did it! Wooooo!"
I agree with you here, Bish. Owen Hart was the Slammys back in the day.
On top of that, he proceeded to goad one of his opponents the following night at WrestleMania 13, Vader: "You know what Vader, you don't have two Slammys like I do because you're losers and we're winners,� me and my Slammys! Woooo!"
See my comment above. Owen was gold and I still can't believe he's no longer with us.
How can you not want to see the Slammys after seeing inspired performances like that?
OK, now the gloves are off. Morrison and Miz are brutal. A reality TV "star" and a Jim Morrison rip-off as a tag team? Ridiculous. I realize you dig these clowns (and probably Morrison's ab bling) because you have nothing better to do on a Tuesday night, but come on, man. I do dislike the fact this show is on Raw. It should be a separate show on a different night.
Aside from my love for the Shaman of Sexy and the Chick Magnet, what makes the Slammys actually worthwhile here in 2008 is the fact that WWE had its best and most memorable year in quite a few, making this a prime opportunity to hand out some hardware.
I wouldn't say most memorable, but maybe one with too many title changes, too many (or not enough) drug suspensions, some new guy named Jack Swagger, Jim Ross getting demoted to Smackdown, Randy Orton flying 300 feet in a motorcycle "accident," Jeff Hardy diving 50 feet onto padding, I mean, Orton, Tommy Dreamer and MVP engulfed in losing streaks, John Cena as champ when he's not banged up and more no-talent Divas. How do you hand out hardware for crap like that?
While this year's edition of the Slammys will be a bit different, I'm sure it will no doubt live up to the hype and pizazz the previous four editions have achieved.
Like I said previously, you can't dig up the past. The pizazz and glory should stay buried because there is nothing that even resembles pizazz at this day in age. Maybe WrestleMania and Ric Flair's robes, but that's about it.
Fans take hiatuses all the time. Some for good. And WWE overbooks everything. Titles mean nothing, Finlay wears a felt hat now, Dolph Ziggler (?!?), HHH has been champion way too many times and still passes the drug tests (same for Batista) and is it necessary for each match to have a run-in???
At the same time, I'm the guy who wishes Gillberg would come back and work a part-time schedule.
Yeah, and Goldust, too. Oh wait...
It'll be great to relive CM Punk's unexpected title win or the jaw-dropping moment that was Jeff Hardy performing the Swanton Bomb off the RAW set.
Yeah, two moments out of 52 weeks worth re-living. How sweet that we have to sit through a three-hour snoozefest, though.
Ah yes, college. I remember those days during the Attitude Era. Memories indeed.
And, these days, isn't that what professional wrestling is all about?
I think the term "professional wrestling" has pretty much gone by the wayside in WWE. You want "wrestling," then check out Spike TV on Thursday nights or Ring Of Honor.
And now, for our Slammy Awards pics for 2008, going off WWE's list of nominees.

I put an ounce of denatured alcohol in the Tornado Cat, lit it, waited 20 seconds, and set a Halulite Minimalist pot with 2 cups (480 ml) of 73F water on the rim of the stove. The flame quickly went out. I relit the stove, waited 30 seconds, and set the pot on the rim. 12 minutes after relighting, the water boiled vigorously. I removed the pot and watched the tornado-like flame until it died down and the last bit of fuel burned in the bottom of the stove. The flame was blue while the pot was on the stove.
The windscreen I used is 5 3/4" tall and 5 1/4" in diameter. It is partially closed at the bottom, with an 80 mm diameter hole in the center, and three legs which leave a 1/4" gap under the bottom rim. The stove and windscreen rested on a steel lid, which rested on concrete. The temperature was about 30F and the wind was mild.
Ok, what is your opinion of the stove at this point?

Ernest Thompson Seton
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Ernest Thompson Seton (August 14 1860 - October 23 1946]) was a Scoto-Canadian (and naturalized U.S. citizen) who became a noted author, wildlife artist, founder of the Woodcraft Indians, and founding pioneer of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Seton also heavily influenced Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting. His notable books related to Scouting include The Birch Bark Roll and The Boy Scout Handbook. He is responsible for the strong influence of American Indian culture in the BSA.
Early life
He was born Ernest Evan Thompson in South Shields, County Durham (now part of South Tyneside, Tyne and Wear), England of Scottish parents and his family emigrated to Canada in 1866. As a youth, he retreated to the woods to draw and study animals as a way of avoiding his abusive father. He won a scholarship in art to the Royal Academy in London, England
He later rejected his father and changed his name to Ernest Thompson Seton. He believed that Seton had been an important name in his paternal line. He developed a fascination for wolves while working as a naturalist for Manitoba. He became successful as a writer, artist and naturalist, later moving to New York City to further his career. Seton later lived at Wyndygoul an estate that he built in Cos Cob, a section of Greenwich, Connecticut. After experiencing vandalism by the local youth, Seton invited them to his estate for a weekend where he told stories of the American Indians and of nature.
He formed the Woodcraft Indians in 1902 and invited the local youth to join. The stories became a series of articles written for the Ladies Home Journal and were eventually collected in the The Birch Bark Roll of the Woodcraft Indians in 1906.
He was married twice. The first marriage was to Grace Gallatin in 1896. Their only daughter, Ann, was born in 1904 and died in 1990. Ann, who later changed her first name, became a best-selling author of historical and biographical novels as Anya Seton. Ernest and Grace divorced in 1935, and Ernest soon married [ulia Moss Buttree. Julia would write works by herself and with Ernest. They did not have any children, but did adopt an infant daughter, Beulah (Dee) Seton (later Dee Seton Barber), in 1938. Dee Seton Barber died in 2006.
Seton met Scouting's founder, Robert Baden-Powell, in 1906. Baden-Powell had read Seton's book, The Birch Bark Roll of the Woodcraft Indians, and was greatly intrigued by it. The pair met and shared ideas. Baden-Powell went on to found the Scouting movement worldwide, and Seton became vital in the foundation of the Boy Scouts of America and was its first Chief Scout. His Woodcraft Indians (a youth organization), combined with the early attempts at Scouting from the YMCA and other organizations, and Daniel Carter Beard's Sons of Daniel Boone, to form the BSA. The work of Seton and Beard is in large part the basis of the Traditional Scouting movement. [1]
Seton was Chief Scout of the BSA from 1910-1915 and his work is in large part responsible for the American Indian influences within the BSA. However, he had significant personality and philosophical clashes with Beard and James E. West.
In addition to disputes about the content of and Seton's contributions to the Boy Scout Handbook, conflicts also arose about the suffrage activities of his wife, Grace, and his British citizenship. The citizenship issue arose partly because of his high position within BSA, and the federal charter West was attempting to obtain for the BSA required its board members to be US citizens. Seton drafted his written resignation on January 29, 1915 but did not send it to BSA until May.
Seton was an early pioneer of the modern school of animal fiction writing, his most popular work being Wild Animals I Have Known (1898), which has always been in print.
In 1931 he became a United States citizen. He died in Seton Village, New Mexico in 1946, aged 86. Seton was cremated in Albuquerque. In 1960, in honor of his 100th birthday and the 350th anniversary of Santa Fe, his daughter Dee and his grandson Seton Cottier (son of Anya) scattered the ashes over Seton Village from a plane.
The Philmont Scout Ranch houses the Seton Memorial Library and Museum. Seton Castle in Santa Fe, built by Seton and his last residence, housed many other items from him. During renovation work on Seton Castle in 2005, it caught fire and burned down. However, all the artwork, manuscripts, books, etc., had been removed to storage before the work. [2]

Leslie (Meltzer) Aronzon named to Board of Trustees
She was raised in the famed 90210 zip code of Beverly Hills, but Leslie (Meltzer) Aronzon '84 grew up intellectually at Brandeis. She found the coursework stimulating, the faculty inspiring and her fellow students both engaged and engaging.
"At Brandeis I developed an intellectual curiosity that I didn't have before," Aronzon said. "I had conversations with my peers that I never had with my friends from home. We talked about the presidential election (Reagan vs. Carter) and the issues of the day. It really jazzed me up."
Grateful for what Brandeis gave her, Aronzon has been an active alumna since graduation. She was recently elected to the Brandeis Board of Trustees for a four-year term. She also serves as vice president of the Alumni Association, has helped organize reunions and is a member of the Alumni Admissions Council. She has hosted many Brandeis events at her home in Los Angeles, and generously supports the Aronzon Family Scholarship and the Alumni Annual Fund.
"I am so honored to be a part of the Board of Trustees," Aronzon said. "Brandeis has always been a big part of my life. Brandeis is small but makes such a big difference in the world. It is really going places."
"Going places" was the theme of Aronzon's college search. She wanted out of California, did not want to spend four years in the Midwest and was intrigued by Brandeis. She enrolled in August 1980 without having visited campus.
Aronzon planned to major in chemistry but took a liking to economics, her ultimate major. She studied at the Sorbonne in Paris during the spring of 1983, and wrote her senior thesis on the valuation of the French franc vs. the U.S. dollar.
At Brandeis, the California girl experienced a season's initial snow for the first time (she had skied before). Not everyone shared her enthusiasm for the cold, white stuff, including her freshman roommate (and best friend to this day), Susan (Hills) Goldman '84.
"I was so excited at the first snow and woke up Susan and wanted to go sledding," Aronzon recalled. "She just rolled her eyes and said, 'I'm going back to sleep.' "
Aronzon headed home after graduation, and found that the Brandeis name resonated even 3,000 miles from Waltham. Although she didn't have the required accounting background, she landed a job with a consulting firm because the hiring manager knew she had been taught to think and solve problems at Brandeis.
Five years after graduation, she earned an MBA and finished at the top of her class at the University of Southern California. She joined Houlihan, Lokey, Howard & Zukin, where she served as a vice president and specialized in bankruptcies and distressed mergers and acquisitions.
Since leaving the firm several years ago, she devotes all of her time to her family (husband Paul and sons Max, Jack and Asher), her children's schools and a variety of philanthropic endeavors, including the Jewish Free Loan Association of LA.
Dinner conversation at the Aronzon home tends to be intellectual and topical, similar to the level of discourse that opened the world of ideas for her at Brandeis.
"To this day, my children watch the news and they have to tell me about what is going on," she said. "Sometimes we talk about Sponge Bob, but usually we talk about substantive issues."

Q&A with Senior Setter Roxanne Brunsting
Related Links
Senior Roxanne Brunsting has been something of a jack-of-all trades during her career with the UC San Diego Women's Volleyball team. After turning in the second and third best single season dig totals in UCSD history as a freshman and sophomore and grabbing Honorable Mention All-America honors as a libero in 2009, she was switched to outside hitter and spent considerable time at setter under new Head Coach Ricci Luyties in her junior season. She first team All-CCAA and All-West Region accolades last fall, as well as another Honorable Mention All-America nod after finishing first on the team in aces, as well as second in kills, assists and digs. With her senior campaign just underway, the Chula Vista native took time to talk about her time at UC San Diego and what she looks for in this year's club.
Q-How does it feel to open your final collegiate season in Hawaii?
BRUNSTING- It feels really good! I started my career here as a redshirt and its a little surreal to be able to end it here as a senior.
Q-Career-wise, is it hard to believe your senior season is here?
BRUNSTING-Honestly, yes! I have no idea where my time went-it flew by so fast! And it's hard not to wish I could start over with the knowledge and experience I have gained so far.
Q-As a player, do you feel a heightened sense of urgency knowing this is the "last time around?" If so, how have you reacted to that emotion?
BRUNSTING-I wouldn't say its a "heightened sense of urgency." I honestly just want to enjoy my last season, and I know that I will put in the work to do well with my team. I have just been thinking about this season on a daily basis, so I can enjoy each moment and hopefully squeeze as much as I can out of it.
Q-After holding down the libero position as an underclassman, you switched between outside hitter and setter last year as a junior? What's the plan in 2011?
BRUNSTING-It's looking like I will be setting and playing opposite. But the real plan is to win! And I'm prepared to do whatever I can to make the best team-wherever that puts me.
Q-In your mind, what are the primary differences in the positions you've played and which do you prefer? Why?
BRUNSTING-That is such a tough position, they are all so different. I think each one is a favorite for different reasons, but I do miss being a libero.
Q-This year's squad has a heavy senior component with all four likely to be in the regular starting lineup. Can you briefly talk about the strengths of your three senior teammates and share what you think the four of you bring the team as a group?
BRUNSTING-There are so many strengths I couldn't possibly name them all! But I think the biggest are that each one of us wants to win and we know what it takes to put ourselves in a position to do that.
Q-Is there anyone among the returners you feel is poised for a "breakout" season? Who has impressed you among the newcomers?
BRUNSTING-To be honest, everyone came back ready to go, and ready to be their best. The two starting freshmen Lauren (Demos) and Amber (Hawthorne) have really bought their "A" game and a desire to win. They have already started to take leadership roles and its awesome to be a part of! And all of the returning sophmores have come back ready to play. Every single member of this team has impressed me.
Q-You were a local product, having graduated from Bonita Vista High School. Has it been a positive playing relatively close to home? In what ways?
BRUNSTING-Yes, definitely. I have loved staying close to my family and having the ability to play for them means the world to me.
Q-Speaking of home, your brother Mike was a freshman setter on the UCSD Men's Volleyball team last spring. What was it like having him on campus and competing at UCSD? Do the two of you ever confer on technique, strategy or anything else volleyball-related?
BRUNSTING-We definitely talk volleyball. Staying in SD allowed me to follow his high school years so weve been talking volleyball for some time now, and I love it! I have loved being able to see him on a regular basis around campus, although I know I cramp his style.
Q-This is your second season with Coach Ricci Luyties. What can you say about his coaching style and how do you feel the team has responded to him?
BRUNSTING-He fosters an environment in which true all-around volleyball players can succeed and really stresses working on being able to play every part of the game. Its an intense environment, but at the same time he knows what it means to love volleyball and reminds us we are here to enjoy the journey. I think he is really creating an awesome team and a great team feel. I can't wait to keep up with where he takes this program in the next few years.
Q-Is he as laid back as he seems? Is there anything that shakes him up or gets him perturbed?
BRUNSTING-He is laid back, but there are definitely things that get under his skin. He has an intensity about him when he needs it and he makes sure to keep us focused and on the right track.
Q-You've listed reading and painting among your outside interests. What are some recent books you'd recommend? What's your all-time favorite?
BRUNSTING-The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogy is awesome! If you're into dry humor Christopher Moore is pretty entertaining. As for my all time favorite.. thats a tough one. The Harry Potter books, Ninteen Minutes by Jodi Piccoult, and the first two books in the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo come to mind.
Q-How did you become interested in painting? Is there any particular style that you prefer?
BRUNSTING-My grandfather taught me. And I stick to acrylic because ts what I know, but I'd love to learn to paint with oil when im older. As for a style.. I wouldn't say I have one, it always depends on my mood or who I am painting for, as most of the paintings I have done have been gifts.
Q-You're a psychology major at UCSD. What do you plan to do with that after graduating? Using what you've learned, how would you describe your personality?
BRUNSTING-I want to play in Europe for at
least a year and hopefully figure out exactly what I want to do during that
time. I know I want to go to grad school for psych when I come back, I'm just
not sure what I want to specialize in yet. Unfortunately, I'm a phenomenal
procrastinator, so hopefully everything works itself out!
As for my personality.. I have learned a ton! I'd say I am pretty guarded, I tend towards introversion, and I am a bit of a perfectionist. But I wear my emotions on my sleeve amd am passionate about the things I believe in and the people closest to me.
Q-The team has reached the NCAA Playoffs in each of your first three seasons but never gone beyond the regional semi-finals. What do you think this team is capable of? Why?
BRUNSTING-This team is capable of anything! And we won't know what that is until we get there, but I am confident that we will be working hard every single day to make us the best we possibly can be and then some when we get to post-season. I can't wait to find out where that takes us! But for now I'll be enjoying every minute the journey.

The latest signs of the Apocalypse: dead birds falling out of the sky and Mike Tyson becoming a published poet.
Retired Hall of Fame boxer Mike Tyson is trading in sucker punches for sonnets, he's going from king of the ring to the king of cadence, he's going from well…you get the point.
April is National Poetry month and the staff of Oprah Winfrey's O Magazine has invited Mike Tyson to contribute with original poetry in the March 15th issue. Actress Demi Moore is also expected to contribute with Maria Shriver serving as the issue's guest editor.
Athletes who rap are basically some version of poets themselves as the music is basically spoken word. Even beloved boxer Manny Pacquiao moonlights in the music business.
But Mike Tyson wasn't just any athlete, he was a gladiator.
It's pretty hard to imagine the man who used to bite ears and deliver lethal jabs as a Robert Frost knock-off. But I guess anything is possible.

How to buy the best bike for your needs
We show you what to look for before taking off on two wheels.
Want the snazziest bike on the lot?
There's no doubt about it – biking's definitely having a moment. If you're thinking about joining the ever-increasing ranks of commuter cyclists, finding the right bicycle can be an overwhelming task. With so many models on the market and plenty of hype and technical jargon from salespeople, it's easy to get lost.
We'll tell you what you need to know to get a good quality bike, without the unnecessary extras:
Style matters
First up, choose a bike that's a good fit for the kind of riding you'll usually do. So for example, if you're going to be riding in the predominantly in the city you won't want to get a mountain bike. A common mistake people make when buying a bike is getting one that tries to do everything.
For cycling newbies, we recommend an upright bike style. It's more comfortable and gives you more awareness on the road. While it's common to see riders with speedy drop-handlebar road bikes on the commute, they're not designed for stopping and starting. Their low riding position also makes it much harder to keep an eye on the traffic.
But that doesn't mean you're stuck with just one style. The upright commuter bike range has a few types to choose from.
City or commuter bikesOften come with accessories such as a rack, mud guards and lights. They're a wallet-friendly option – bike accessories can add about $200 to the total if you purchase them individually.
- Upright and comfortable
- Often have internal hubs
Flat bar road bikes
Similar to a drop-handlebar road bikes, but with flat handlebars, these are suited to a longer, speedier commute.
- Least upright commuter bike
- Faster than many similar bikes
Sit-up-and-beg/step-through bikesGood if you're only commuting about five kilometres and want a relaxed ride.
- Low or no top bar, so you can "step through"
- Very upright
- Slower than other commuter bikes
- Comfortable
Folding bikes
These are good if you're commuting by train and only want to ride part of the way. See more in our folding bikes buying guide.
Electric bikes
These are either pedal assist (helps the rider pedal) or throttle-powered (no pedalling required). If you're likely to be slogging up hills or travelling longer distances this may be the option for you. See our electric bikes test. You can also buy conversion kits to turn your current bike into an electric bike.
Bike fit basics
Getting the correct frame size is essential to a good ride. One that's too big or small will compromise on feel and comfort. There are plenty of specialist fitting services on the market, but if you're just looking for a basic city bike, look for a model where most of the weight's carried by your feet and bottom, not your hands.
- Height: Most bike size measurements are based on the seat tube length (the vertical bar from the pedal cranks to the saddle). Make sure you can stand over the bike with some clearance. For the best saddle height, place your heel on the pedal. When it's at the bottom of the stroke, your leg should be straight.
- Stretch: The length of the top tube (seat to handlebars) is also important. It determines how far you'll have to stretch while riding. There's no simple guide here, but comfort is crucial. Make sure you're not stretched out or too bunched up on the bike.
What the frame is made out of will also impact your ride.
Common on classic bikes such as the Dutch step-through.
- Pros: absorbs bumps; strong
- Cons: rusts easily; can be heavy
Common on city-style bikes
- Pros: lighter than steel; doesn't rust
- Cons: doesn't absorb bumps
Carbon fibre
Not common on city-style bikes
- Pros: light; absorbs bumps
- Cons: expensive
Getting into gears
How many?
Many modern bikes come with 27 gears - much more than you'll need for commuter riding. In the city, five to eight gears is plenty, although more may be useful if you're riding in a hilly area. Additional gears will cost more, add weight, and increase maintenance issues.
Gears come as part of a groupset. This includes everything making up the gears (front and rear derailleurs, cassette, chain, cranks and shifters) as well as the brakes. Each groupset manufacturer makes different grades (from entry-level to pro) for both mountain and road bikes (commuter bikes can fall into both categories).
As the grades improve, groupsets get lighter, have more gears, are more durable and perform more efficiently. But if you're in the everyday commuter group, you probably won't notice much difference between low-end and high-end groupsets. As long as the gears are kept clean and looked after properly, a lower-end groupset is fine.
Internal hubs
Internal hubs – where the gear system is inside a covered chamber – are a good option for everyday cyclists. They're low maintenance, and gears can be shifted while you're stopped. On the downside, they make it fiddly to remove the wheel if you have a flat tyre, and can be pretty bulky.
Wheels on the road
There are a few things to consider to get the right wheels for commuting.
Double-walled rims are stronger than single-walled ones.
Spoke count
A higher spoke count is better if you ride on bumpy paths.
Ease of removal
Quick-release wheels make life easier if you have a flat or want to throw your bike in the boot. On the downside, they also make it easier for someone to steal your wheel.
Choose a slightly wider wheel over a slick road bike tyre for commuting. They're less likely to puncture and will give you more traction.
If you're riding on the road, avoid knobbly mountain bike tread - it's meant for off-road biking, not city commutes.
Quality might not be noticeable at first, but low-end tyres (that often come on new bikes) are more likely to puncture and wear out faster. Look for tyres that are marketed as being 'puncture resistant' - they'll reduce your risk of a flat. The same goes for riding with the correct tyre pressure.
Accessorise right
Some bike accessories are essential for your ride, but which ones exactly? We believe the following are worth the cash:
Grips, pedals and saddle
The comfort of these three things can have a big impact on your ride. For city riding, avoid pedals that clip in, because you need to be able to stop regularly.
Rack to attach a bag or panniers
If the bike doesn't come with a rack, check you're still able to attach one.
Various companies make luggage for cyclists designed for use either on or off your bike.
Mud guards
Even if it isn't raining, water on the road can splash up from your tyres and onto your clothes.
Helmet and bell
This almost goes without saying, but in case you need a reminder, you must wear a helmet with an Australian Standards sticker. You'll also need to have a bell fitted to the bike.
Lights and reflector
If you'll be riding at night or in low light, you'll need a front white and rear red light that are visible for 200 metres. Some lights can be charged by USB, others have batteries. If you're into green power, some bikes come with dynamo hubs, which are pedal-powered lights. See our bike lights buying guide for more information.
High-visibility vest
Construction sites aren't the only place for fluoro vests – they're also important for safe cyclists.
Lock and pump
If you're leaving the bike out in public, we recommend buying a D-lock, You'll also need a floor pump for home use (easier to get tyre pressure right) and a hand pump for the road.
Tyre levers and a puncture kit
Levers make it easier to change tyre inner tubes - and repairing tubes costs less than buying new ones.
City cycling tips
If you cycle regularly, insurance is worth considering. Sign up as a member with your state cycling body and they'll usually provide personal injury and public liability insurance, plus income protection in case of an accident.
This insurance generally won't cover your bike, though, so if it's a pricey ride there are a range of ways to insure your bike for theft or an accident. Find out more in our bike insurance buying guide.
Depending on how much you ride, you should get a bike serviced every six to 12 months.
Cleaning your chain regularly will reduce wear and tear, and ultimately repair costs. It's worth signing up to a bicycle maintenance course to learn the basics.
Finding the best route
If you've made the decision to start riding to work, or even part of the way, it pays to plan your route. The most direct route isn't always the safest or the quickest. Consider hills - it's often easier to ride further on a flatter ride. While main roads can be the most direct, unless they have bike paths, using backstreets often means a safer and more pleasant journey.
There are various digital route planners that can help you find safter routes and bike paths. Two we've tried are:
- Ride the City - it's available as an app to help when you're out and about.
- Google Maps - offers bike directions on its desktop format. The bike function isn't available in the mobile app versions of Google Maps.
Before you shop
Consider these bike-buying questions:
- How far and how fast will you ride?
- What type of terrain will you be riding on? Is it bumpy or smooth? Flat or hilly?
- Will you regularly need to carry the bike up lots of stairs? If so, a lighter bike may be a priority.
Once you're at the bike shop:
- Does it fit you?
- What's the frame made out of?
- How many gears does it have?
- What type of pedals does it have?
- Are the grips and saddle comfortable?
- What groupset does it have (brand and grade)?
- Does it have quick-release wheels?
- Does it have puncture-resistant tyres?
- Double- or single-walled rims?
- Does it take a rack and mudguards?
- What accessories are included?
- How long is the frame warranty?
- Does the price include any services?
Expect to pay around $400–500 for a good quality city-style bike. Paying more than $1000–1500 for this style of bike isn't worth the cost.

New Jersey Family History Research
This entry was originally written by Roger D. Joslyn, CG, FUGA, FGBS, FASG for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
History of New Jersey
After Henry Hudson's initial explorations of the Hudson and Delaware River areas, numerous Dutch settlements were attempted in New Jersey, beginning as early as 1618. These settlements were soon abandoned because of altercations with the Lenni-Lenape (or Delaware), the original inhabitants. A more lasting settlement was made from 1638 to 1655 by the Swedes and Finns along the Delaware as part of New Sweden, and this continued to flourish although the Dutch eventually gained control over this area and made it part of New Netherland. By 1639, there were as many as six boweries, or small plantations, on the New Jersey side of the Hudson across from Manhattan. Two major confrontations with the native Indians in 1643 and 1655 destroyed all Dutch settlements in northern New Jersey, and not until 1660 was the first permanent settlement established'the village of Bergen, today part of Jersey City.
Of the settlers throughout the colonial period, only the English outnumbered the Dutch in New Jersey. When England acquired the New Netherland Colony from the Dutch in 1664, King Charles II gave his brother, the Duke of York (later King James II), all of New York and New Jersey. The duke in turn granted New Jersey to two of his creditors, Lord John Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. The land was named Nova Caesaria for the Isle of Jersey, Carteret's home.
The year that England took control there was a large influx of English from New England and Long Island who, for want of more or better land, settled the East Jersey towns of Elizabethtown, Middletown, Piscataway, Shrewsbury, and Woodbridge. A year later, migrants from Connecticut founded Newark. In 1685 a large group of Scots came to Perth Amboy, but they were not part of the great wave of Ulster-Scots who in the 1720s began their immigration to the New World, including New Jersey. For a brief period, from 1673 to 1674, the Dutch regained control of New Jersey and New York, but it soon reverted back to the English.
The King renewed his agreement with Carteret for control of the northern part of the colony, but not with Berkeley, who was forced to sell his interests in the southern part to Quaker John Fenwick. When Carteret died, his widow sold his interests to another group of Quakers, which included William Penn, who in 1676, forced the setting of a boundary that divided the colony into two provinces, East and West. These provinces were controlled by proprietors, with capitols at Perth Amboy and Burlington, respectively. The poorly surveyed boundary cut diagonally across the state in such a way that all of the southern part fell in West Jersey, and the northern in East Jersey.
For two years beginning in April 1688, New Jersey was, with New York, part of the Dominion of New England, but no significant records of New Jersey seem to have been generated in its capital of Boston. The proprietors of both provinces gave up their right to rule in 1702 but continued to control first sales of the land. (The West Jersey Proprietors still hold this right today, although unappropriated parcels are rare; the East Jersey Proprietors dissolved in 1998.) New Jersey was then under united rule by the royal governor of New York and New Jersey until 1738, after which New Jersey had its own royal governor.
Significant migrations and immigrations continued into the eighteenth century, including the French Huguenots, who fled France. New Yorkers, mostly from Long Island, Staten Island, and New York City, settled throughout New Jersey, constituting the majority of the population in many counties. A large Dutch migration formed the basis of settlement in Bergen and Somerset counties, and contributed to the peopling of Middlesex and Monmouth counties. Some of the Palatines who immigrated to New York in 1709 came to New Jersey, as did Germans who entered through Philadelphia throughout the 1700s. Descendants of some of these families migrated to northwestern New Jersey.
New Jersey was a major battleground during the Revolutionary War, with more battles fought on its soil than in any other colony. Both American and British troops ravaged much of New Jersey as both armies passed back and forth from New York and Pennsylvania, which caused some destruction of records. New Jersey residents were quite divided by the war, and a large number of Loyalists left for Canada.
Throughout the nineteenth century, the state continued to grow through increased development of transportation, including the completion in 1834 of a canal connecting the Delaware and Raritan rivers that enabled faster travel between Philadelphia and New York. Since New Jersey is completely surrounded by water, with the exception of its forty-eight-mile border with New York, the canal remained one of its major means of transportation until the Civil War.
The years immediately before and following the war saw the coming of the railroads and development of roadways, which today make New Jersey the major corridor between the northeast and the south. The 1800s also saw New Jersey develop industrially, starting with the establishment of the nation's first factory town at the site of present-day Paterson. New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the country, with many of its families moving back and forth, to and from'and many of its residents commuting to work in'the neighboring states of New York and Pennsylvania.

Lady Gaga's latest music video doesn't impress fellow pop diva Katy Perry, who called the clip's campy religious imagery as "cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke."
Gaga unleashed the highly anticipated music video for her most recent single, "Alejandro" yesterday, and it did nothing to dispel the outrageous image she's cultivated with videos for "Telephone" and "Bad Romance."
"One thing remains apparent, Gaga is hellbent on outdoing herself with each new visual epic," Robbie Daw of Idolator.com said.
Clearly calculated to stir controversy, the "Alejandro" video shows Gaga herself, portrayed as a nun, with nearly naked soldiers cavorting around her. "She doesn't exactly blaspheme," according to E! Online. "She references Madonna circa "Like a Prayer," dons a red latex nun's habit, sucks on a rosary, sings in front of a crucifix and wears a red cross on her lady bits. You know, the usual."
Perry thought Gaga crossed the line, tweeting, "Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke."
Meanwhile, a preview of Perry's "California Gurls" video premiered during Sunday night's MTV Movie awards. The preview generated hype for the punchy, synthesizer-driven song's soon-to-be-released full video.
Perry might now be eating her words from that Twitter statement. It was only yesterday that her fiance Russell Brand let the world know a dirty little secret about his pop singer fiance when he said: "That women is like a flatulence factory. The pop hits that she fires out of her mouth are nothing compared to what comes out the other end of her!"

Glass/bottle coaster has been designed by a Maestro of Italian design, known the world over, Ettore Sottsass. It's in production since 1979, and is one of the oldest products in the catalogue Alessi. It has become a classic, a true archetype of bar and private service "essential" objects, with its proportions, lightness and function.
Born in Innsbruck in 1917, he is known the world over as one of the initiators of the revolution in architecture and design which led away from the rigid functionalism of the years prior to and following the Second World War. A great and influential Maestro of Italian design, the energy of his language and the vitality of his colour and line contrast sharply with any intellectualism and rigidity. He dies in December 2007.

Posted on 06/16/2013 11:02:53 PM PDT by EinNYC
Its Fathers Day but do these New York men have reason to celebrate?
The Post spent the past few weeks cruising shotgun in a mobile DNA-testing truck helping doubtful dads find proof of their progeny.
Health Street, the testing company, has two 27-foot Winnebagos Whos Your Daddy? emblazoned on either side that rumble through the city seven days a week offering a range of services, including drug and heritage testing.

So roadblock in Texas for alcohol check... now this. Becoming uncomfortable with people being comfortable with rolling dna labs.
Actually each of the stories were pretty touching in their own ways. However, I suspect there were plenty of stories that were omitted that were not quite as touching.
How to pee in your own gene pool.
These dads are all outliers. I was thinking, "What a strange business model to operate in a hood where fathers are purposely MIA. Where's the customer base, especially at $350 per test?"
Maybe they are "waiving" the fee for eligible low-income types (i.e. the entire target group) because it's a front for law enforcement trolling for DNA samples.
$350 is cheap to get out of child support. I am sure they find plenty of business who can scrape up that much.
The article should have been entitled, "Mobile DNA-testing truck provides New York City child-support payers with paternity truth".
Great a rolling mauri povich show
"What difference does it make at this point in time anyway?"
Yeah, we're already paying for all the products of their irresponsible behavior anyway.
I'm told how little money single mothers have to raise their families with. Except that I never hear about collection from the so-called dead beat dads.
Here in Texas I have to provide my social security card to the DPS office to obtain a driver's license so that I can "prove" I don't owe back child support even though I have no children, no ex-spouses, etc and there has been no claim against me.
How do all of the supposedly dead beat dads slip through the cracks since I have to prove I'm NOT GUILTY before I can obtain basic daily used identity papers?
How many baby daddies can these mothers typically collect from?
Frankly it's not my problem if they don't want to go "through the hassle" of making them pay up. But the welfare state does not owe them a dime extra to make up for the shortfall.
The law hassles me so it should definitely be shaking the branches of some other family trees.

Jerome Liebling
September 30, 2011–January 29, 2012
Renowned American photographer Jerome Liebling (1924-2011) made the Pioneer Valley his home for almost 40 years. During his long and distinguished career, he produced pristinely formal and socially-conscious images that speak forcefully about both change and continuity in America during the late twentieth century.
Liebling was influential as a photographer, filmmaker, and teacher. Following his discharge from the army in 1946, he studied design at Brooklyn College. His early love of still photography developed under the tutelage of Walter Rosenblum, former president of the famed New York social-documentary group, the Photo League. His eye for composition was influenced by the Bauhaus-inspired faculty of Brooklyn College's design department. Liebling's photographs, however, have always been distinctly his own.
Liebling's many devoted students say that he led by example, and his photographs do, too. He created many indelible images with his camera: an unemployed man sitting slumped in a restaurant booth, the tender, mirrored gestures of a mother's and baby's hands, a desolate city corner bathed in warm light, and an old woman surrounded by the signs of commercial culture. All of these form part of Leibling's visual poem about life in America during the 20th century.
This installation is being mounted in memory of Jerome Liebling and is supported by the Suzannah J. Fabing Programs Fund for the Smith College Museum of Art.
The Mead Art Museum at Amherst College has nine Liebling photographs from its permanent collection on view until October 30, 2011. The Liebling Center at Hampshire College will host an exhibition of Liebling's work from October 14 through October 30.

Judge delays Michigan couple's gay marriage, adoption case
DETROIT - A gay adoption case that's transformed into a challenge to Michigan's ban on same-sex marriage has been delayed until the U.S. Supreme Court hears two relevant cases.
Hazel Park couple April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse were before U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman Thursday as they sue for the right to jointly adopt their three children - and overturn the Michigan Marriage Amendment as unconstitutional. The amendment, which defines marriage as between one man and one woman, was approved by voters in 2004.
The cases Friedman cited, involving California's gay marriage ban and the federal Defense of Marriage Act, are expected to be heard by the high court in coming months.
"This is the defining issue of our time," said attorney Carole Stanyar during oral arguments before Friedman.
Friedman said he's staying the case so that he has the benefit of precedent from the two cases on appeal to the high court in making his decision.
"Hopefully, the Supreme Court will give us some direction," Friedman said. "As soon as those cases come down, I will be prepared to render a decision," he said.
The Hazel Park couple's attorney returned to the podium to try to change Friedman's mind.
"Judge, I know you could benefit from knowing what they have to say," Stanyar said of the Supreme Court. "I think they can benefit from hearing what you have to say."
The Michigan Adoption Code currently allows for one member of a same-sex couple to be the legal parent of an adopted child. DeBoer and Rowse amended their suit after a judge said the overarching issue is Michigan's same-sex marriage ban.
Thursday's hearing was on the state's motion to dismiss the Hazel Park couple's amended complaint.
"We'll wait until June, see what the Supreme Court has to say and we'll finally get the rights for our children," DeBoer said after Thursday's hearing.
Assistant Michigan Attorney General Joseph Potchen argued that the couple's question is a political one.
"This is a hugely significant issue of social policy," Potchen said. "It's our position that the people of Michigan should decide and not the federal courts."
The state's attorney said that gay marriage is not an issue that's comparable to interracial marriage. State laws banning interracial marriage were struck down by a 1967 Supreme Court decision, Loving v. Virginia.
"Here, the people of Michigan are not denying anyone the right to marry because of any protected group status," Potchen said.
The assistant attorney general said same-sex marriage is "not objectively rooted in our nation's history."
Friedman replied: "Things change. Quickly."
More than 30 states have statutes that define marriage as being between one man and one woman, Potchen said.
"The whole issue of same-sex marriage should be left to the democratic process."
During his arguments, Potchen said: "To be clear, we are not saying same-sex couples can't raise children. These plaintiffs are doing a wonderful job with their children."
Stanyar said that ideas about traditional marriages "arose in a world where gay people were hiding," and "we now live in a society where gay people don't want to hide anymore. They are asserting their rights."
A few centuries ago, "everyone believed the world was flat," Stanyar said. "We know better now."

Paseo del Espolón, s/n.
09003 Burgos (Castilla y Leon)
Tel.:+34 947288874
- Autonomous region: Castilla y Leon
- Province/Island: Burgos
The history of the Paseo del Espolón in Burgos is very similar to that of any of the main promenades in any Spanish city. Its layout has followed the governing vagaries of fashion and various gardening styles. However, the Espolón has been able to maintain its integrity and become the most representative garden in the city and the prototype for the numerous promenades in many Castilian cities. It is in the centre of the city, between the San Pablo and Santa María bridges, on the banks of the River Arlanzón.

Israel and the Palestinian Authority will finalize a framework agreement within one month, sources closely involved in the Stockholm talks believe, according to report by Haaretz Friday.
The Israeli daily reported that two draft agreements are currently being discussed in the negotiations between Shlomo Ben-Ami and Gilad Sher on the Israeli side, and Abu Ala and Hassan Asfour on the Palestinian side, the sources said, adding that the talks have now reached the point of no return.
There are three main possibilities as to what shape the final agreement will take, according to these sources:
l A framework agreement which will declare the end of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, following which a permanent status agreement will be signed.
2 A framework agreement that will announce a "drawn-out end" to the dispute, and will necessitate further talks over a final agreement.
3 An extended interim agreement which will replace the much anticipated framework agreement - this is seen by many to be the last and least desirable option.
The favored option is the signing of a framework agreement that will declare a permanent end to the dispute, said Haaretz.
An agreement which includes the main points of the final arrangement may then be brought before the Israeli public for its approval in a referendum, while the PA seeks public approval in a way of its own choosing.
Prime Minister Ehud Barak wants to put the framework agreement to referendum, rather than the final status agreement, according to the paper.
If, because of internal political pressures on both sides, it is not possible to sign an agreement announcing the end to the state of conflict, an alternative will be signed which postpones settling all points of contention between Israel and the PA for another time. Such an agreement will also be brought to referendum instead of the permanent status accords.
The daily added that both kinds of agreements will include a clause which states that negotiations over the final agreement will have to be completed within four months of the signing of the framework agreement – Albawaba.com.

Subscribe To The Impossible Director Will Bring Children's Nightmares To Life Adapting A Monster Calls Updates
I've already subscribed
From the outside it seems like there is nothing in common between the 2007 spooky thriller The Orphanage and 2012's emotional disaster film The Impossible, besides the fact that they share a director in Juan Antonio Bayona. But when you strip away the ghouls and the massive tsunami, what's left is a story about the bonds of family getting stretched beyond their comfort zone. It's a theme Bayona is returning to for his next film, an adaptation of the critically acclaimed 2011 children's book A Monster Calls, written by Patrick Ness with illustrations from Jim Kay. Make sure you have your tissues handy.
A Monster Calls has quite the interesting backstory. Ness, who holds the rare distinction of winning the Carnegie Medal (the British award for outstanding new children's or young adult book) two years in a row, created the narrative based on the outline laid out by author Siobhan Dowd, who won the Carnegie two years before Ness. Dowd began work on the book after she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and died in 2007, before she was able to do much with it. In stepped Ness and Kay, who won the Greenaway Medal for children's book illustrators.
Set in England, A Monster Calls revolves around 13-year-old Conor, a bullied child whose mother is dying of cancer. Conor has been plagued with a series of nightmares on a nightly basis, but his relief arrives in the form of a large tree-shaped monster that promises to tell him three stories in exchange for the one that fuels Conor's nightmares. It's a tale of grief and acceptance, and one that will definitely stand tall over the mostly saccharine children's films that clog cinemas. Sometimes it seems as though the British have certain talents that allow them to handle young adult fare with a maturity far beyond many American authors.
Check out the book's engaging trailer below.
I think Bayona is a smart choice for the film, which is a co-production between Lionsgate International, Focus Features, River Road Entertainment and Participant Media. He's proven himself capable of telling somber stories with exciting elements, and he should be helped along greatly as Ness will be adapting his book for the screenplay. That should keep the tone intact without a lot of unnecessary add-ons.
Bayona flaunted his horror side again when he directed the first couple of episodes for Showtime's upcoming literary monster drama Penny Dreadful. He is supposed to direct the planned World War Z sequel, but that probably won't get started for another lifetime or so if it's anything like Marc Forster's production on the first film. And it sounds like A Monster Calls' trip from page to screen will be quite a long one.
According to THR, a release date is being planned for late 2016, as I'm assuming they'll have quite a bit of CGI imagery keeping the flick mired in post-production.

GameInformer.com has the promised teaser for the December cover story of Game Informer magazine about Grand Theft Auto V (the issue is now available digitally and the print version is expected in a week). Word is: "Over the course of 18 pages (our biggest cover story yet!), we introduce the three main protagonists, discuss the groundbreaking way you use them, and explore the reimagined Los Santos – the biggest open world Rockstar has created to date. The massive feature also divulges and dissects many more aspects of the game fans won't want to miss." Kotaku has some of the skinny from the article (thanks nin), including word that Los Santos is larger than Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto IV combined, and areas to be explored will include wilderness, a military base, and the ocean floor. There is also a clarification that this is the same world as Grand Theft Auto IV and Liberty City, but not the earlier installments in the open world action series.
