INDIANOLA, Iowa - Justin Spaulding scored three touchdowns on the ground, Michael Zweifel caught three touchdown passes and No. 24 Dubuque beat Simpson 42-21 on Saturday at Buxton Stadium.
Owning the Iowa Conference's most prolific offense, the Spartans (5-0, 3-0 Iowa Conference) showed good balance on Saturday. Dubuque amassed 532 total yards, gaining 290 through the air and 242 on the ground.
The Storm (1-4, 1-2) had trouble establishing a running game, gaining only 20 yards on the ground.
"They ran the ball well and we didn't run the ball very well," Simpson head coach Jim Glogowski said. "If you can't stop the run and you can't run the ball successfully, you're going to have a long afternoon."
Spaulding ran for 192 yards, Zweifel caught 13 passes for 181 yards and quarterback Wyatt Hanus completed 22 of 27 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns.
"Between the quarterback, the receiver and the tailback, they out-exectued us," Glogowski said.
Despite the diparity in the running game, Simpson only trailed by a touchdown after Taylor Nelson hit Alex McCarty on a 4-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter.
Dubuque answered the very next drive when Spaulding's second touchdown run made the score 28-14. Simpson's ensuing drive ended when Trevor Kinnett intercepted Nelson.
"At that point we needed to respond and we didn't," Glogowski said. "That's where the game turned.
"When you have opportunities to stay in the game against a good football team that's 4-0, if you don't capitalize it could be a long afternoon and that's what happened."
Nelson threw for 250 yards on 25-for-35 passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Taylor Rogers made five catches for 56 yards and Brad Vogel had a touchdown grab. Deion Lewis gained a team-high 56 yards on six carries late in the game and Michael Chia ran for 32 yards before leaving the game with a leg injury in the third quarter.
Hanus and Zweifel hooked up for their third touchdown pass in the fourth quarter and a 26-yard touchdown run by Spaulding gave the Spartans a 42-14 lead.
Lewis's 36-yard run highlighted the final drive Simpson, which ended in a two-yard plunge by the freshman.
Simpson looks to get back in the win column next week when it hosts Cornell for homecoming at Buxton Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

APC launches Digital security first-aid kit for human rights defenders
[MONTREAL 29 January 2013] – The Association for Progressive Communications today released a new resource "Digital security first-aid kit for human rights defenders." It is an interactive website publication available online at http://rights.apc.org/infosec
In the face of increased human rights surveillance of ever-growing online traffic and the multiplication of commercial interest in user data, APC's Connect Your Rights! campaign is today putting out tips and tricks for human rights defenders to circumvent threats to their privacy and their information.
The kit is meant to help people working to defend human rights to act quickly to straighten-out situations in which their personal data is compromised or in which they suspect they have fallen victim to online wiretapping. Relying on eight different scenarios, information is presented to users in-need using an accessible format. The digital security first-aid kit advises on tactics such as how to access blocked websites and how to encrypt electronic mail.
Individual guides don't give an exhaustive guidance on how to deal with particular threats. They suggest first possible actions and provide references to further resources and support groups.
The Digital security first-aid kit is a living project – New topic areas will be added to the kit in future.
"We want to be sure that this toolkit will actually help human rights activists wherever needed," Mallory Knodel of APC says. "We are working through our network of local technology groups in more than 40 countries to achieve this," she adds.
Connect Your Rights! – an awareness-building and advocacy campaign aimed at framing internet rights as human rights – has produced issue papers, infographics and many articles about internet rights violations. It monitors internet rights via its online platform. Please visit http://rights.apc.org

A recent publication appeared in the April 7th issue of Science Translational Medicine concerning a novel approach to lung cancer prevention through detection of the oncogenic pathway, PI3K, and effective prevention of lung cancers with myo inositol. This study represents the emergence of epigenomics and nutritional medicine into mainstream medicine. It also represents a supreme opportunity for us to examine how the upregulation (switching-on) of a gene is directly related to a nutrient that acts as part of the whole. The study had two important aspects that were elegantly merged.
First was that the researchers were able to identify a gene that upregulated (switched on) the cancer-related pathway PI3K, in people with lung cancer. 90% of lung cancers occur in people who smoke, used to smoke, or had significant exposure to second-hand smoke. Of all those smokers, only 10-20% of them ultimately develop lung cancer. In the past, lung cancer had been diagnosed using invasive procedures that are usually only utilized when the cancer has already progressed enough to produce symptoms. At this stage both the treatment and prognosis are grim. As the press releases stated, the gene(s) that upregulate the PI3K pathway are detectable in the airways of smokers long before the cells become cancerous. This offers a novel approach to identifying those at high risk of lung cancer.
Second, the researchers were able to identify what they call "a lung cancer chemopreventive agent" that down-regulates, or "turns off" the expression of the PI3K pathway-inducing genes. The "chemopreventative agent" that they refer to is the semi-essential nutrient, myo-inositol.
Before you run out to the health food store to get your bottle of inositol, there are two important considerations. First, the cancer-promoting PI3K pathway also plays some very beneficial roles in our physiology. For example, it is likely involved in the formation of long term memories in a process called Long Term Potentiation (LTP). Chemicals that inhibit the PI3K pathway have been found to stop the expression of LTP. The PI3K pathway is also involved in normal cell growth and development.
Second, myo-inositol is formed naturally in the gut when various species of bifidobacteria convert phytic acid, (found in grains, nuts, seeds, brewer's yeast, and many vegetables) into myo inositol. Bifidobacteria are an example of the good bacteria that have recently become part of the new nutriceutical digestive drink craze. Myo inositol facilitates several cellular functions like proper metabolism of cholesterol and transmission of neurotransmitter signaling of serotonin. I use inositol (along with other appropriate supplements) in my practice in some cases of depression, insomnia and fibromyalgia when there are obvious signs of digestive issues. I've found that if a person is actually low in inositol, they respond very quickly small doses (500-1000mg) with improved sleep and mood. Ultimately this is a sign of imbalanced gut bacteria which must be addressed in order for the person to become healthy again. Some practitioners use large doses of inositol for insomnia. It works but because large doses may be too inhibitory of the PI3K pathway, I don't think it's making the patient healthier…it's just using too much of the substance to knock them out.
A couple other interesting facts: EPA, the omega-3 fat found in fish oil, improves the absorption of myo inositol in the gut which may partly explain why fish oil helps with depression. Phytic acid intake (as mentioned above, phytic acid is the precursor to myo inositol) is associated with lower risk of colon cancer and also switches off the PI3K pathway in the colon. There are several studies suggesting that colon cancer is also associated with the upregulation of the PI3K pathway.
Candida albicans, a yeast that commonly occurs in the gut, can use myo inositol as its primary food source. Overgrowth of this yeast can significantly alter bioavailability of myo inositol creating a scenario in which it would compete with its host, the human, for the nutrient. Giving a person myo inositol in a situation like this might initially help with symptoms but will ultimately lead to more yeast overgrowth in the gut making the situation worse.
Interestingly, many pathogenic species such as Salmonella prevent the production of myo inositol and produce more toxic and inflammatory byproducts of phytic acid. These organisms can survive in the gut in smaller numbers that don't produce an all out infection. It's possible that constant, low-level persistence of these pathogenic organisms could result in a functional, myo inositol deficiency.
Since overgrowth of some pathogenic bacteria and yeast can halt or alter the production of myo inositol, here are the questions we should be asking:
- Is the expression of PI3K a functional deficiency of myo inositol?
- Is it possible that gut dysbiosis (depleted colonies of beneficial bifidobacter and overgrowth of candida) can result in a deficiency of myo inositol and ultimately lead to an increase in cancers related to the PI3K pathway?
- How can we establish ideal ranges for myo inositol?
- At what level can PI3K be suppressed without negatively impacting its physiological benefits?
- Is it possible that the demographic with a high exposure to cigarette smoke has a higher incidence of upper respiratory infections which ultimately require more frequent use of antibiotics than the general population? Would this lead to reduced bifidobacter species and candida overgrowth in the gut resulting in a functional deficiency of myo inositol?
As with vitamin D and sunlight, will conventional medicine decide to replace myo inositol with a pill or will it strive to treat the root of the problem and create the conditions in which we evolved to give rise to its natural occurrence and create a healthier individual?by

GRAMMYs Drive Adele To 20th Week At No. 1
GRAMMYs Drive Adele To 20th Week At No. 1
The 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards helped drive sales for Adele's GRAMMY-winning 21 as the album notched its 20th week atop the Billboard 200 with sales of 237,000 units for the week ending Feb. 12, a 95 percent sales increase. The set marks the longest run at the top of the chart since the soundtrack to The Bodyguard spent 20 weeks at No. 1 from 1992–1993. A full post-GRAMMY Awards sales report is expected next week. (2/15)
SESAC For Sale
SESAC owners, including Allen & Company and Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC, are seeking to sell the performing rights organization for approximately $500 million, according to a New York Post report. The organization has hired Goldman Sachs to spearhead the sale, which has already drawn a bid from several private equity firms and Warner Music Group. (2/15)

Stocks jumped in a choppy trading session Friday, extending gains heading into the close, after a strong jobs report indicating an improving U.S. economy offset worries about a sooner-than-expected end to Federal Reserve bond buying.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed back above the 15,000 level, propelled by gains in American Express and JPMorgan.
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were also strongly higher. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, traded near 15.
The S&P 500 finished above its 50-day moving average of 1626. "All week this trendline has held back the bulls," said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research. "Still, the more important area could be the Russell 2000 Index 1,000 region. This area has held as resistance since May and won't go down without a fight."
With those areas breached on Friday, Detrick said "it could signal we could have a strong July rally."
Among S&P sectors, financials and industrials paced the advance, while utilities fell.
Small-cap stocks and regional banks were among the market leaders. "These are the sectors you want to see leadership from," Detrick said, since they are closely tied to the U.S. domestic economy.
Home builders were among the weakest industry groups as investors fret about what higher interest rates will mean for the housing recovery.
For the week, the Dow gained 1.5 percent, the S&P 500 was up 1.6 percent and the Nasdaq jumped 2.2 percent.
The U.S. economy created 195,000 new non-farm payroll jobs in June, the Labor Department reported, after an upwardly revised 195,000 jobs were created in May. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 7.6 percent as more people entered the labor market.
The jobs report means the economy is improving and it's on track to at least pick up a little bit of momentum, Robert Pavlik, Banyan Partners' chief market strategist, told CNBC.
"I think the market is going to continue to move higher even as we approach the July meetings," he said. But as it gets closer to September "the possibility that market gets a little bit worried about the move up in Treasury yields comes back into play."
The dollar jumped to a three-year high and 10-year Treasury yields pushed above 2.70 percent given the stronger data and growing anticipation of Fed tapering. Gold tumbled 3 percent.

"Combing through the details of the release, there is not too much to sniff at, and overall, the June report easily gets passing marks," JPMorgan economist Michael Feroli wrote in a research note, adding "after today's report we are moving to a call for a first reduction in asset purchases at the September FOMC meeting."
Markets had been awaiting the jobs report for clues as to when the Federal Reserve would begin reducing its bond purchases. The Fed has said it expects to end its $85 billion monthly asset purchases when the unemployment rate drops to around 7 percent.
Jan Hatzius, Goldman Sachs chief economist, also is now calling for a September tapering. "It's not a done deal. It could still be December," he told CNBC. "But when I take everything together—what they've said, what you've seen in the numbers— September is more likely."
While the U.S. central bank may be closer to pulling back on the bond purchases, yesterday, both the European Central Bank and the Bank of England offered forward guidance on policy for the first time, and said record-low interest rates would be maintained for a prolonged period.
(Read More: July 4: Independence Day for Europe's Central Banks?)
Among stock movers, Dell was sharply lower on reports Michael Dell and Silver Lake will not raise their $24.4 billion buyout bid.
Attention will turn to corporate earnings next week. Second-quarter earnings season kicks off with numbers from Dow component Alcoa on Monday.
Pavlik of Banyan Partners isn't expecting a blowout earnings season. "I think that Q2 earnings season is largely going to be a repeat of Q1 and you will see a good increase in earnings per share, but you're not going to see a tremendous increase in revenue which could create problems for the intermediate term," he said. "But short term, I think the market moves higher."

Hood River Fire Department Lt. Paul Henke is not particularly excited about topping off a long weekend of fund raising by climbing atop a billboard for "Jerry's Kids."
But today at 9:30 a.m., he will take the perch on 12th Street adjacent to Nix Drive. He intends to raise the $800 remaining in the $12,000 goal.
"We don't need that much money so I'm hoping the community will come through and I won't be there long," said Henke.
Last weekend, 15 volunteers raised $11,278 in the annual Fill the Boot campaign for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Firefighter Kip Miller and others were in a quandary — they intended to work hard but they secretly wanted to see their superior officer on top of the billboard.
"The problem is that we really want to help the kids too — so I guess we just might have to fib a little," said Miller.
Donned in red T-shirts and their helmets, firefighters and their family members stationed themselves at the intersections of 12th Street and Pacific Avenue, and Oak and Second Street.
In return for donations, they passed out stickers to motorists showing their support for MDA. Miller even brought along a few plastic fire hats to give to delighted children stopping at his checkpoint in the Heights.
Within 20 minutes of taking his post, Miller had $200 in his boot — so the possibility of Henke ending up on a billboard seemed remote. But he was okay with that since he had already exasperated the lieutenant by offering to double the proceeds with a winning bet.
"Somebody needs to be assigned to keep an eye on Kip so he doesn't gamble all our money away," said Henke at Saturday's briefing.
Miller's teasing was only part of the good-humored ribbing that Henke endured that morning. When he turned on the inspirational video he had made, firefighter Peter Mackwell asked if it had been filmed by "Wingnut Productions."
Henke's 30-minute pep talk provided fodder for many jokes, but when he said, "Everyone get your gear and let's roll," the response was immediate.
The firefighters were out of their chairs and within minutes, had taken their stations. They had given up a summer weekend out of respect for Henke's dedication. Plus, many had visited the MDA camp on Mount Hood and had fallen in love with the children they met there.
The fund-raiser also provided the opportunity for some good, clean competition.
"Hey Kip, quit pussyfooting around and get some money," said firefighter Brad Stewart after scoring a $60 donation.
All of the passing motorists were thanked politely, whether they answered positively or negatively to, "Do you have spare change for the kids?"
"It's fun being out here and showing the community we support the kids and want to help out," said firefighter John Logan.
Some drivers honked to show support and others yelled statements of encouragement, such as "Fill 'em up." Many drivers held the money out the window for a quicker drop while others dug in a purse or wallet and then circled back around to make a contribution.
"Sometimes people even go get money and come back. They are really good," said Miller.
Last year, Hood River ranked second in the state for its Fill the Boot donation based on the number of participating firefighters. Henke hopes to score the first place spot this year — which is part of his motivation for sitting on the billboard.
"I don't think people are going to let me down," he said.
Henke said the take during two days of standing on the hot pavement included $4,675 of $1 bills — and $1,403 in change. One motorist gave a $100 bill, the single largest contribution of the weekend.
The money will be turned over to MDA for research and programs, such as the customized camp, that benefit disabled children and adults.

The Breakfast Club
A friend of mine recently proposed an interesting question -- is Richard Vernon (Paul Gleason) from John Hughes' "The Breakfast Club" a principal, vice principal or a teacher? Online searches will lead you to believe he is a principal (or assistant principal), but there is no substantial evidence of this in the film.
In fact, Vernon is labeled as a teacher in the early pages of Hughes' screenplay, and he has a prominent dialogue in the film with Carl the janitor (John Kapelos) where he discusses his teaching career of 22 years. It seems as if the principal/vice principal mindset was formed through a collective consensus over the decades, and even I figured Vernon was the highest authority figure in the film's high school setting. However, based on evidence, I think I'm now leaning towards the teacher.
Sadly, this burning question isn't answered on the new Criterion Collection Blu-ray release of "The Breakfast Club," but it's okay because this new iteration celebrates John Hughes' classic film in fantastic ways. In a 4K digital restoration with uncompressed monaural soundtrack, this iconic coming-of-age story has never looked or sounded better. Other bonus features include:
• Audio commentary from 2008 featuring actors Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson
• New interviews with actors Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy
• New video essay featuring director John Hughes's production notes, read by Nelson
• Documentary from 2008 featuring interviews with cast and crew
• Fifty minutes of never-before-seen deleted and extended scenes
• Rare promotional and archival interviews
• Excerpts from a 1985 American Film Institute seminar with Hughes
• 1999 radio interview with Hughes
• Segment from a 1985 episode of NBC's "Today" featuring the film's cast
• Audio interview with Ringwald from a 2014 episode of "This American Life"
• Trailer
• An essay by author and critic David Kamp
Perhaps we'll never know the answer to Vernon's scholarly position in "The Breakfast Club," but one thing is true -- this film is one of the greatest high school movies ever made and arguably Hughes' best film. It's no wonder this film is being added to Criterion, as its place in film history is undeniably important. Moving, hilarious and ridiculously entertaining, "The Breakfast Club" is one of a kind.

Orioles center fielder Adam Jones, who has been involved in various charity initiatives in Baltimore and his hometown of San Diego, has been named the club's nominee for this year's Roberto Clemente Award.
The award is presented annually at the World Series to one big leaguer who has demonstrated a high level of character and meritorious community service, emulating the example set by Clemente, the Hall of Fame Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder who died in a plane crash while attempting to help earthquake victims in Nicaragua.
This year, Jones and the Orioles' charitable foundation donated $75,000 to the Boys and Girls Club of Metropolitan Baltimore for a project which will provide a new learning and technology center in the city.

Stonehenge Storm
By auburnalum06
May 5th, 2018
It was raining the morning we left London and drove out to Stonehenge. We were feeling less and less optimistic about our timing as the rain continued throughout the day. Fortunately, as we boarded the shuttle that took us to the site, the rain stopped and the clouds began to break apart a bit. The dying light of the day mixed well with the layers of clouds in this 4 shot HDR exposure.

1960s Retro (vintage) Jacket and Pleated Skirt
Added Jul 5, 2013
by annrevlis
Mapleton, Utah, ...
I made this jacket from a Burda pattern for my Advanced sewing class at Brigham Young University. The skirt came from a pattern I got from an antique store made in the 1960s. I copied the pattern onto tissue paper to preserve the original and then altered it to make it my size using the "in-seam" method I've learned at my university. They both turned out really well, I think!
Material Notes
Jacket: 100% Rayon boucle
Skirt: Linen-Look polyester/cotton blend and cotton muslin for underlining (I was too lazy to go to the store for something better, so the skirt is a little heavy but completely opaque!)

5-year-old bitten by rattlesnake mistook it for toy
5-year-old bitten by rattlesnake mistook it for toy
DEBARY, Fla. —
A family vacation in Florida was cut short when a 5-year-old boy was bitten by a rattlesnake.
Volusia County deputies said the boy was in the backyard of a Debary home Saturday when he was bit.
Deputies said the boy, whose family is from Tampa, thought the snake was a toy under the jungle gym he was playing on.
The boy was bit on the finger and rushed to a hospital where he was given anti-venom.
Deputies said the snake appeared to be a pygmy rattler. It was captured and killed, deputies said.

DeKALB – Doug Johnson's answers to questions about his expectations are matter-of-fact.
Johnson didn't doubt for a second that he'd beat Kaneland's Esai Ponce, the No. 2 ranked wrestler in the 132-pound division according to illinoismatmen.com, in Thursday's 50-23 win over Kaneland.
"I don't think anybody can beat me," Johnson said quietly. "I don't have any doubt in my mind that nobody can beat me. I can beat everybody."
After finishing third in Class 2A at 126 pounds last season, Johnson was frank when asked whether he expected to win the 132-pound division in Class 3A this season.
"For sure," Johnson said, again in a quiet voice. "Undefeated."
On a young DeKalb team, Johnson is a confident veteran who coach Mike Pater can count on week-in and week-out, even against the top wrestlers in the state.
Johnson has wrestled in the 138-pound division for much of the season, and he's 9-0. This summer, he beat three state champion wrestlers on his way to second place at the freestyle state championships.
Thursday, Johnson beat Ponce by major decision, missing a technical fall by one point.
"I felt pretty good today, but I could have wrestled a lot better," Johnson said. "I need to get going a lot quicker."
Freshman 106-pounder Parker Stratton, sophomore 126-pounder Jackson Montgomery, and senior 160-pounder Colin Adkins and junior 152-pounder Matt Macarus won by technical fall.
"I feel like we have lots of room to improve," Pater said, "but any time you wrestle a conference dual, you're happy to come out with a win."
The meet wasn't as lopsided in bouts that actually happened, but Kaneland forfeited four weight classes. Without those four losses of six points, the Knights' deficit was only three, which was encouraging to coach Monty Jahns. In tournaments, when the emphasis shifts from depth to the top wrestlers, the Knights may be a force be reckoned with.
"We're satisfied with the way we wrestled," Jahns said. "We have a lineup with some pretty good individuals and a bunch of open spots."
Kaneland won the first two bouts of the day when 220-pounder Nick Sharp and 285-pounder Justin Diddell won by fall. Senior 145-pounder Dan Goress won by technical fall.
Goress is ranked fifth in the 145-pound Class 2A division, and he's one of five Knights ranked in the top 12.
"We just have too many holes in our lineup, but the individuals that we have can do really well in tournaments with pins and [technical falls]," Goress said. "I'd say we can be a very good tournament team."

Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, Iron Maiden to Headline Rock in Rio 2013
The Rock in Rio Festival will see faces new and familiar next year, as they announced that three of its headliners for 2013 will be Metallica, Iron Maiden and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Other headliners will be named at a later date.
This will only be the second time Springsteen, who will play on Sept. 15, has performed in Brazil. His previous appearance was at the Estadio Palmeiras in Sao Paulo on Oct. 12 1988 as part of Amnesty International's Human Rights Now! Tour, with Sting, Peter Gabriel, Tracy Chapman and Senagalese star Youssou N'Dour.
Metallica will be making their sixth appearance at Rock in Rio, which will be held from Sept. 13-22, 2013. The Bay Area metal legends, who are set to fill in for Green Day at the Voodoo Music + Art Experience in New Orleans later this month, will close the festivities on Sept. 19.
Iron Maiden, who will headline the festival's final night (Sept. 22), are also no strangers to Rock in Rio. Their performance in 2001 was recorded and released as a CD and DVD.
Tickets for Rock in Rio 2013 will go on sale exclusively to Brazilian residents on Oct. 23. They will be available to the rest of the world in April 2013. Complete information can be found at their website for those who read Portuguese.

Thank you Sandhy for the spoilers- I notice in the spoiler you didn't mention anything about the bike he got in the anime but you did mention the factory.
I assume the bike is in the novel right?
Also did you say those AD can generate armor too?

Infuriating is like the flow of qi or energy. Everthing in the world has it, and for living thing has it's own infuriating that identify them.
For world tranfer ability that Akatsuki has, more or less that like instant teleport of goku. But instead using qi to identify their destination like goku, Akatsuki Imagine the scenery of their destination. So he can teleport to the place that he already know.

Osawa Myuu died because the conflict of Akatsuki's father and Akatsuki's brother about their idealism. Because of that incident, Akatsuki want to kill both of them and start hostile to COCOON and Scarlet Dust.
For example: Kaido Motoharu go to different world 3 times (include Alezard).
Because of that Haruka, Kuzuha, and Chikage now is as strong as COCOON member. Along with Listy and Myuu that already super strong, Total 6 person that leading by Akatsuki, There a new power that rival COCOON and Scarlet Dust.
For Haruka, She want to resign from vice-pres of BABEL. Haruka, Kuzuha, and Chikage prepared that when they 6 become the enemy of the world.

Probiotics & Cultured FoodsX
|Q: My Jar of Sauerkraut is leaking some of the juice, is it still ok to eat?
|A: The ongoing fermentation inside the jar will cause a build up of pressure, which can cause the jars to leak juice. We always send cultured vegetables in food grade clip top bags, to try to contain the juice, which usually works very well. Leaking doesn't compromise the product in any way, you just need to top up the jars with mineral water and a high mineral salt, to naturally preserve them. Leaking is something we are unable to avoid with this probiotic living food, this is a great sign that the product is fresh, RAW and alive. If the lids were shut tight, they would explode when opened! Please do not purchase this product if you are worried about any juice that may leak during transit. We will not refund on any orders where the Sauerkraut has leaked, this is the small risk you take when ordering this incredible natural fermented food.
RAW Sauerkraut is a highly therapeutic food made from fresh unheated vegetables.
RAW Sauerkraut is rich in both 'Live' friendly bacteria (lactobacilli) and enzymes which greatly enhance digestion and help to re-establish and maintain a healthy inner eco-system, which is vital to good health.
RAW Cultured Vegetables are very easy to digest, as they have already been predigested by the friendly bacteria. Both alkaline and cleansing, they will also aid in the digestion of any foods eaten with them.
Fantastic for appetite control and sugar cravings, raw cultured vegetables are a powerful weapon when trying to restore balance to a toxic and acidic body, especially those suffering from Candida and digestive problems.
RAW Organic Sauerkraut is handcrafted in small batches from Organic Vegetables and fermented in barrels for a minimum of 4 weeks.

Writing macros, a series of lessons (1 of…)
I'd been playing my hunter alt (the Draenei Urtica, with his springpaw Lyallii. I liked the name better than Dioica.) quite a bit, recently, and so had a macro to hand to insert in comments when BBB asked a question. His response to that leads to today's – and probably a few more days – post. I'm going to try to walk through the "how to write a macro" to the extent of helping you write your own as you need it.
Let's begin by saying the Guru of Macros is Cogwheel. If you want to jump ahead, go to his (stickied) forum post, and from there go to his website. There are other extremely knowledgeable and readable writers on the subject, but he's your starting point. A lot of what I'll be saying over this series is rephrasing of things learned there.
Today is intro day, so: What is a macro? As Cogwheel says, "a macro is a slash command." More fully, a macro is one or more slash commands, possibly with parameters (limiters of various types), set in such fashion that it can be bound to a key.
So, the next best thing would be to have a list of commands, right? Well, I've got bad news, and then I've got good news, and then I've got bad news. Bad news – there is no definitive list. Good news – you can create your own list (and I'll tell you how in just a minute). Bad news – you only get the commands, you do not get the list of possible (or required) parameters.
How do you generate your own list? First, get pencil and paper – or open a word processor and be ready to do a lot of alt-tabbing (or if you're one of those who has dual monitors, well, I'm officially jealous…). Now start the game and get on your character – in a place where you will not be interrupted. Ready? Open a chat window. Type /a. Tab. Write down the command. Tab. Write down the command. Tab. Write down the command. Repeat until you get the first item – which MIGHT BE /a, or might be something else. (I know, for example, that /c is a short-cut command that's the same as /csay, which must be followed by a chatchannel name or number, and then followed by the text you want in that channel. But the game won't TELL you that. See the frustration?) When you've cycled through /a's, then do /b's, /c's, … all the way through /z's. Don't bother with numbers and symbols. Numbers are /csay shortcuts that jump directly to that channel. Symbols don't do anything, so we can leave them alone. hmmm. More accurately, symbols do things, but there are no slashsymbol commands, so don't bother cycling through them.
OK, we're about done. A few more basic concepts and we're off.
First – the max length of a macro is 255 characters – and spaces and carriage returns count. If you need more you need to write a script. And yes, I eventually intend to take us to scripts, but it'll be in easy steps.
Second – a macro is a game interrupt. That means the game PAUSES until the macro is done.
This is one reason the perennial 'I want a macro that'll cast, wait out the GCD, and cast again' will fail – the game clock (cooldown and everything else) stops while it waits for the macro to finish running. Two digressions here. Note that this is just the clock on YOUR computer – the server keeps right on going, mobs keep hitting you, etc., etc. And it's HIGHLY unlikely Blizzard will ever 'fix' this as this goes a long way to denying bots. Bots – automated programs that play the game for you. There's a fuzzy line behind comprehensive assistance addons and bots that you'll run into if you advance deeply into scripting, but it's of no concern while you're just doing macros.
Third – Throughout this lesson I will be trying to make it clear when I'm talking of macros and when I'm actually giving you an example. For now, and subject to more clarification later, I'll be using the blockquote and bold functions for the macros. So they'll look like this:
/petattack [modifier:alt,nohelp,target=focus] \
[modifier:alt,nohelp,target=focustarget] \
[nohelp,target=targettarget] \
[nohelp,target=mouseover] \
[nohelp,target=mouseovertarget] \
[harm,target=targettarget] [target=target]
Supplemental is the fact that line breaks matter to macros, but my blog makes long lines unreadable by shoving it off the right side and hiding a big chunk of that under the right column. So the backslash is a programmer shorthand for "continue the next line on this line". In the above macro, this means the whole thing goes on one line – if you're copying and pasting, just delete all the backslashes and any carriage returns that make it a multiple line macro.
Oh – one last remark. That macro is the one I posted on BBB's comment that started this thing. It's meant for hunters, but will also work for any class that has a pet out – demons, elementals, shadowfiends… See, I'm still a priest (grin).
Have fun, folks.
6 Responses to "Writing macros, a series of lessons (1 of…)"
Awesome – looking forward to more!
I never got into the macro thing much (just some [target=focus] CC helpers) – I'm definitely interested in what all you can do with them.
(And thanks for noting the petattack thing works – that's sweet!)

[…] Writing macros, a series of lessons […]
[…] Part One […]
Good Lord, your a good old southern dish of Joy, this here old redneck has been searchen for day's and listening to everyboody about how to use a Macro…Talken about a case of the red @#$. I can copy, I can paste, but I can't switch anything around or make a macro work for the life of me..Ifen you can teach. I'll be grasshopper.
lession one: first off I got to the /c 's and relized I don't have enouph ink in my pen or hours in this day to go through 26 letter's, but after seeing the copy of the commands that I copied from the "Blizzard" website. I see there are a lot more. Some I have no clue what they mean. and it often repeated itself. also to stop some confussion for some people ( like myself) when opening the chat window. type / ( what ever letter) and then hit your "tab" key over and over and over..till it stops on the letter that you started with. just a note: in the "c" I copied about 60 diff. commands..however many repeated.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Shares of Corning Inc., Monster Beverage Corp. and Research In Motion Ltd. made big moves during U.S. trading Tuesday, with Google Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. among the top trending tickers.
Top tickers trending
$GOOG: Google GOOG, +0.77% shares gained 1.5%. Various tech blogs and news sites are citing a report out of Taiwan on Monday that indicates that Google is preparing to launch a self-branded Chromebook with a touch screen. Google already has placed an order with Compal, an original design manufacturer in Taiwan, for the new Chromebooks, TechCrunch reported.
"If this report is true — it's at least logical for Google to cut out hardware partners and keep the razor-thin margins to itself — Google is getting ready to compete head-on with Apple, Nokia and even Microsoft. In the past Google relied on partners to make hardware. The goal was to push its software into the hands of users; Google didn't seem to care about making money on the hardware. But times have changed. Android is the dominant mobile platform in the world now. The Nexus 7 is the best low-cost tablet available. And to the topic of Google Chrome OS, the recently launched Chromebooks are fantastic," said Matt Burns at TechCrunch. Read: Google preparing to launch self-branded Chromebooks.

Clean Diesel Technologies Inc. CDTI, +2.64% shares closed up 13%. The company said that it has received verification from the Environmental Protection Agency for its Purifilter EGR filter system, which removes particulate matter from diesel engines' emissions.
Corning's shares climbed 6.9%. The company GLW, +1.19% reported "stronger than forecasted" sales of LCD glass, which includes its popular Gorilla Glass product used in smartphones and tablets. "We now expect glass-market volume to be up in the low single digits this quarter, versus our previous expectation of down low to mid-single digits," according to Corning.
Crocs Inc. CROX, -4.24% shares rose 9% as Goldman Sachs analysts upgraded their rating on the footwear company to buy.
Generac Holdings Inc. GNRC, +1.13% shares rose 6.1%. Late Monday, the company's board and senior management withdrew plans for a secondary offering of shares, citing "market conditions."
Shares of Ralcorp Holdings US:RAH rallied 26%. ConAgra Foods Inc. CAG, +1.55% said it is buying Ralcorp, the nation's largest private-label food manufacturer, for $90 a share in cash. The purchase price represents a 28% premium over the Monday closing price of Ralcorp shares. The companies said the deal, including assumed debt, is worth about $6.8 billion.

Monster Beverage Corp. MNST, +2.41% shares soared 13%. A recent Food and Drug Administration response to queries from lawmakers on the safety of energy drinks were mostly favorable to Monster, according to an analyst at Goldman Sachs.
"Our overall impression of the FDA letter would be that, at this point, the FDA has little reason to think energy drinks are unsafe when used in a responsible manner and to the extent energy drinks are used 'inappropriately' the FDA has no jurisdiction to take action against the manufacturer," Goldman Sachs Judy Hong wrote in a note.
"That said, the FDA acknowledges there is more research to be done and is now actively looking into these issues. We continue to be believe the most likely outcome will be increased disclosure and strengthening labeling, which is unlikely to have a material financial impact on MNST."
Shares of McMoRan Exploration Co. US:MMR sank 15%. An RBC Capital Markets analyst downgraded his rating to sector perform from outperform. "We don't currently have an answer as to whether MMR will ultimately be able to produce from the ultra-deep; the newest developments increase the general risk of the play," Leo Mariani wrote in a report. The company opened the Davy Jones No. 1 well, located in the Gulf of Mexico, for testing earlier this month and reported a minimal flow rate, possibly due to clogged perforations, Mariani noted.
U.S.-listed shares of Research In Motion US:RIMM CA:RIM closed down 11%, following eight days of gains. Ehud Gelblum, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, suggested that RIM's better-than-expected second-quarter earnings were an anomaly rather than the beginning of a trend, AllThingsD reported. Gelblum was also pessimistic about whether the BlackBerry 10 can help to turn the company around when it's launched in January. Read: RIM's revival likely to be short-lived
Thor Industries Inc. THO, +3.02% shares tumbled 12%. The manufacturer of recreation vehicles reported late Monday a first-quarter profit of 58 cents a share, shy of the 62-cent consensus forecast as derived in a poll of analysts by FactSet.

Grand County Emergency Medical Services Department received 87 more calls in 2011 than in 2010, according to director Andy Smith. With a total call volume of 931 calls during the year, 76 percent of those were received between the months of March and October, and only 61 percent of those calls were for residents of Grand County.
"Staffing is still the biggest challenge we face," Smith told the Grand County Council last month. "Continued call volume increases have increased the per person workload, as well as a decrease in peoples' ability and time to volunteer and an increase in average call length."
According to Smith, the EMT department is receiving an average of almost three calls per day, with an average call time – the time to respond and deal with the emergency – being approximately 2.2 hours. Because of the small staff and the call volume, EMS volunteers are each averaging approximately 74 calls per year.
Issues contributing to the EMS staffing challenge also include the complexity of the calls staff members are handling, with backcountry emergencies making up 14 percent of the total calls taken in 2011. Smith said the response time on those calls could last anywhere from two hours to 16 hours.
"Calls by type is important to know to understand what is demanded from our staff. We go on quite a few transfers and backcountry calls, and those are long, long calls," Smith said.
The seasonal population of EMS volunteers makes it difficult for the agency to always have someone available when needed, Smith said. And with the influx of visitors during tourist season, the demand on the department is increasing, he said. Smith also said it is harder for staff to keep current with certifications because of constant changes in state and national certification standards.
Facilities that are ageing and inadequate also present challenges for the department. According to Smith, the current facility is 25 percent too small to properly accommodate EMS operations.
"This was pointed out as a weakness to our future growth in the long run. An increase of 25 percent would be 1,600 square feet. Our facility does not allow for appropriate security," Smith said. "And we have inadequate and inefficient heating, cooling, and ventilation systems."
Fumes from department vehicles often seep into the office spaces, and because many the supplies and medications have to be maintained at a specific and constant temperature, the systems are running 24 hours a day.
Smith also noted his department is also working to address public and internal relations issues, including low morale within the department and the fact that many staff feel that they are invisible to the public.
"We are looking to leave some of the past problems in the past and just move forward," Smith said.
In dealing with the challenges, Smith said his department is trying to identify a mission statement and a vision for the future, including forming a strategic plan and increasing the level of care provided to patients.
"We really felt like identifying a department vision and mission statement would help us move forward and determine where we are going to be and how to get there," Smith said.
Increasing the level of care available to EMS patients includes getting more staff certified as paramedics rather than intermediate- and advanced-level certifications. Smith also said the department is adding more training sessions each month for staff members.
The next challenge for EMS will be to increase the efficiency of its billing systems and investigate space needs and logistics involved in possibly attaining a new facility, Smith said.
"It really is a large challenge to run this department. I have a great appreciation for those who have come before me," said Smith. "When you sit down and start thinking about how to fix your staffing problems and how to get a better financial footing... It's pretty complex."

Wild Hare Services
System-From-Hell Migration
We can help other DG users who were previously "locked in" to legacy hardware and software. With our new emulation and hardware interface tools we can modernize the most challenging real-time, hardware-based system to the most vendor-interdependent commercial application.
VS/COBOL Migration
Wild Hare's combination of extensive in-depth DG experience, COBOL language and utility products and proven project-based methodology has resulted in successful migrations worldwide. Wild Hare emphasizes carefully architected, cost-effective solutions that provide a strong basis for future application evolution.
Wild Hare may also provide migration assistance and toolsets for those companies which have the internal resources to perform the migrations themselves, but wish the help of experienced "migranauts" in setting up an effective strategy.
ICOBOL Migration
Since Wild Hare's Choice! runtime system directly executes DG-compatible ICOBOL program (.PD/.DD) files and ISAM (.NX/.XD) files, so there is technically no "migration" for ICOBOL transitions. All you need to do is transfer the the program and data files to the new target system and run them with the appropriate Choice! software. However, sometimes companies wish professional assistance in setting up the target's application environment. Again, Wild Hare can provide the services to save time, frustration and money.
Media Conversion
Wild Hare maintains legacy and modern computer equipment in-house that can read a wide range of physical 9-track tape, cartridge tape, floppy diskette and removable hard disk formats. We can transfer data from these different media to media more appropriate for modern systems, such as CD-ROM and DVD.
Data Recovery
As an extension to our media conversion capabilities, we have specially modified hardware that can read out-of-specification 9-track magnetic tape. This has proved invaluable for preserving old historical data contained on tapes and transferring them to modern CD-ROM format.
Data Extraction
Sometimes legacy data contained on old media needs to be transferred and converted to formats usable by modern software. Yup, "we can do".
AOS/VS Support
Still running AOS/VS or AOS/VS II?
Or AOS/RT32, INFOS, RMX, RDOS or ICOBOL?
We can keep these systems running or develop upgrade solutions for you.
Some clients wish to have a custom training syllabus created and administered to show how to best use Wild Hare products for their specific applications. Classes may be held at the Wild Hare offices or at the client site, and are typically from three (3) to five (5) days long depending upon content and detail.
Restoring, Preserving, Archiving
We have been selected as the official legacy repository by several vendors who wanted the corporate, legal and historical benefits of preserving their history. Their company software products, documentation, and sales and technical information have been transferred from their corresponding sources to modern CD-ROM or DVD backup medias. Any of this cataloged information is available for viewing or re-creation on any appropriate modern platform, and provides all of these benefits at while taking up virtually no physical storage space.

Yesterday's victory over Houston assured the Mets of winning their final series of the season and a winning record at home in their first year of Citi Field. Oh boy!!!!
Pat Misch pitched well again, giving up a run on five hits in five innings before the rains came. He won for the third time this month and is meriting consideration for the fifth starter job next spring. He's left-handed, which is always a plus. But, remember, before this stretch he was a journeyman.
A 2010 rotation with Misch in it could be interesting, but maybe not in a good way.
After a torrid start, Josh Thole hit the skids, and his triple broke a 1-for-22 slide. It was probably a good thing Thole went into a slump as to not ratchet up the expectations. He does have a presence about him, but it's premature to say he's ready.
Sean Green had pitched well lately, but three walks in 1 2/3 innings to force a save situation served as a reminder of his inconsistency this season. So much more was expected of him. The walks, however, brought on Francisco Rodriguez for his 35th save.

Winter takes off with a last laugh
A two-part snowstorm the day before spring could coat the region in 8 inches of snow
Spring begins Wednesday, but winter is getting one last shot at the Capital Region as upward of 8 inches of snow could bury the area in a two-part storm.
Most of the snowfall was expected to occur by 5 a.m. Tuesday, said Kevin Lipton, a National Weather Service meteorologist.
At its peak, the snow was expected to fall at 1 to 2 inches per hour, Lipton said. Commuters should anticipate at least 4 inches of snow Tuesday morning.
"We're certainly going to get a good blast of snow overnight," Lipton said.
Snow is expected to stop around daybreak, but pick up again Tuesday afternoon, when another 1 to 3 inches should fall, he said.
The entire Capital Region is under a winter storm warning until 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Accumulations are expected to be highest in areas north of Albany, including Saratoga Springs, Glens Falls and Lake George.
The storm is a mix of two systems: one tracking in from the Great Lakes, which is stronger and started Monday night, and another, weaker system moving up the Atlantic Coast that will arrive Tuesday.
Whether the Capital Region will be on the high end of the accumulation spectrum hinges mostly on how powerful the second system becomes, Lipton said.
The snowstorms should push seasonal totals back closer to normal. As of Monday morning, just 41.9 inches of snow had fallen in Albany this season, more than 10 inches below the 53.2-inch average for the date.

Media Statements & Speeches
Commissioner Tony Clark Statement
July 30, 2013
Docket Nos. IN11-8-000 and IN13-5-000
The Approval of the Settlement Between JP Morgan and FERC Office of Enforcement
Todays order approving settlement is a historic one. It highlights the important work of the Commission and its Office of Enforcement and it sends a strong signal that market manipulation is being taken seriously.
As the newest member of the Commission, this case has been an eye-opener for me in relation to the challenges faced by our Office of Enforcement. In this investigation and others, it has become too common for subjects of an investigation to take steps to obfuscate the true intent of their business strategies as a litigation posture for dealing with their regulators.
It should go without saying, but perhaps it bears mentioning: the Commission must have complete candor and accuracy by all parties. Behavior that is designed to impede the administration of justice frustrates and delays the work of our agency to oversee jurisdictional markets and to protect consumers. If individuals or entities believe their strategies and courses of conduct are compliant with Commission rules and regulations, then there is no reason to not want to fully explain to Commission staff how those business strategies are employed, for what purpose, and why a certain course of conduct is permissible under the law.
On balance, the settlement is in the best interest of the public. It offers substantial transparency in terms of describing the prohibited activity, so that other market participants can learn from this case. Illicitly earned funds will be immediately returned to those consumers who were harmed, rather than after a long multi-year court proceeding. Additionally, JPMorgan will pay a historic fine. Finally, the government resolves the matter without expending further resources. In sum, while in a settlement no one gets everything he or she may have wanted, this one meets the test of transparency, timeliness, significance and prudency.

Hey, I just recently got into kiteboarding and did some camps at REAL kiteboarding @ cape hatteras and ever since I've been looking for a good board. I'm a small girl, I'm eighteen and I weigh about 110 pounds, so I've been looking for a board thats on the smaller side. I want a board thats good for freestyle and freeride, but I don't know what to pick. Any suggestions? The ones I've been looking at with the most interest have been the Nobile NHP WMN and the Naish Raskal. I don't know how these boards really compare to one another, but I really want a nice board thats good for freeriding and freestyle that I'm gonna love. Any ideas on which one i should pick? Or any other suggestions? Thanks!

While the need for improved fuel efficiency hangs over the automotive industry -- especially with the impending CAFE standards -- there are also cultural changes that direct design decisions.
Stephen Jockusch, Siemens PLM's vice president for automotive industry strategy, outlined the company's auto design focus at last week's Siemens PLM User Conference. The three principles Jockusch noted were climate change, urbanization, and demographic change.
For climate change, Jockusch noted improvements in the fuel efficiency of the internal combustion engine, as well as development in hybrids and electrical vehicles. The goal is zero emission. Lightweight materials also play a role in reducing energy consumption. Highly integrated actuators are one area of focus for Siemens.
In the area of urbanization, he pointed to "intelligent mobility through smart grid integration." That means adding increasingly intelligent communications systems to vehicles. Jockusch sees a time when the car will generate and store electricity that can be sold back to the grid at the end of a trip.
The demographic change that is part of Siemens's focus is related to the aging populations in the Americas and Europe. The goal is to safely extend the mobility of elderly drivers. Ultimately, that would translate into zero accidents. And while the goal may be farfetched, any movement toward it through improved design fits into Siemens's plans. The company aims to make progress through improved driver control over the vehicle.
Jockusch says the progress in these three areas will involve enhancements in chassis design, as well as electrical systems and components, simulation, programming, and validation, as well as manufacturing processes.
He acknowledged that work on design by auto suppliers such as Siemens brings up some thorny issues about ownership over intellectual property. If the supplier develops a solution while working with an automotive client, who owns the solution? Can the supplier share the solution with the client's automaker competitors? "This is an area of continual discussion," Jockusch told Design News. "About 70 percent of the solutions are industry best-practices, about 20 percent involve industrial solutions, and about 10 percent is customer specific."
Jockusch noted that the 10 percent that constitutes customer-specific solutions are owned by the automotive customer. "We engage with our customers on whether these solutions can be shared openly with the automotive industry," he told us. In recent years, automakers have become increasingly willing to share intellectual property so the whole industry can participate in solving technological challenges. "Our goal is to make as much available to the industry as possible," said Jockusch. "That's the intention of both Siemens and its automotive customers.

Farmingdale State - 64, The Sage Colleges - 60
Albany, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State men's basketball team completed a 20-point comeback on Saturday afternoon for a 64-60 conference victory over The Sage Colleges (8-10, 3-7). The Rams improved to 13-5, 9-2 in the Skyline with the win.
The Gators never trailed in the first half and used a 15-0 run over the last six minutes to open up the 38-22 advantage at the break. Sage held Farmingdale State to 25-percent shooting from the field in the first.
In the second, the Gators held a 20-point lead (42-22) with 18:14 left in regulation. The Rams scored 24 points over the next ten minutes, behind 12 points from junior guard Terence Henderson (Bronx, N.Y.), to cut the deficit to 50-46.
Senior guard Ryan Davis (Flushing, N.Y.) made the next Farmingdale layup and an AJ Matthews free throw would make it 50-49, but Sage pushed the lead back to four with 6:42 to play and a 53-49 lead.
Senior guard Christian Nunez (White Plains, N.Y.) scored the next five points, on two free throws and a 3-pointer, to give the Rams their first lead of the game, 54-53.
After leading 60-58 with 1:29 remaining, a pair of Sage free throws evened the game (60-60), before Farmingdale scored the final four points to cap off the comeback victory.
Farmingdale State next will host Maritime on Tuesday, January 29th at 7:00 p.m.

Hollywood gun-controllers have met their match
Fresh voice takes on firearm hypocrisy in Tinseltown
Hollywood and TV celebrities like Sylvester Stallone – of "Rambo" fame and his most recent "Bullet to the Head" film – have repeatedly urged Americans to demand passage of new gun-control laws.
But does that sound like hypocrisy, coming from movie stars who have made millions shooting people on screen and who hire armed bodyguards?
It does to Colion Noir.
Noir, who also calls himself "The Urban Gun Enthusiast," is one of the National Rifle Association's newest video news commentators.
In a video called "Hollywood Hypocrites," Noir blasts the celebrities of the silver screen for "shooting people in the face with machine guns" during their work week, then pushing for gun-control laws on their weekends.
"No one's saying celebrities can't have an opinion," Noir states, "but hypocrisy is hypocrisy.
"These celebs literally use people with guns to protect themselves, but are trying to tell us we can't use guns to protect ourselves," he continues. "You can't be pro-body guard with a gun for you and anti-gun for us. It just doesn't make any sense."
His message concludes with a zinger: "Your opinion against guns means nothing when you built your fortune based on the glorification of violence."

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
Continue Reading Below
The markets tacked on mild gains on Monday. Traders eyed events in the eurozone and also positioned themselves for key releases later in the week.
Today's Markets
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 14.8 points, or 0.11%, to 13170, the S&P 500 climbed 0.48 point, or 0.03%, to 1419 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 8.9 points, or 0.3%, to 2987. The FOX 50 dipped 1.7 points to 1045.
The materials sector was the best performer, followed by industrial and health-care stocks. On the other side of the spectrum, the financial and consumer discretionary sectors lagged.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti revealed plans over the weekend to resign. While the timetable was not immediately established, he said if the fiscal budget for next year is passed quickly, he will resign immediately.
Monti, an expert in economics, was put into power last November after the resignation of Silvio Berlusconi with the mandate of fixing the eurozone's third-biggest economy and getting its fiscal house back in order. However, austerity measures there have been highly unpopular. Now, the move threatens to plunge the country back into political chaos and will almost certainly set the stage for early elections, analysts say. Indeed, Berlusconi has already thrown his hat into the ring.
"Irrespective of what we see in the next few days, political/electoral uncertainty coupled with campaign rhetoric and resultant headlines could yet see (bond) markets unsettled again," Alastair Newton, an analyst with Nomura wrote in a note to clients. "If markets do become unsettled over Italy we may see contagion into other eurozone economies, perhaps particularly Spain."
The yield on Italy's benchmark 10-year note jumped roughly 0.3-percentage point from Friday's close to 4.81%. Spain's 10-year yield climbed 0.2-percentage point to 5.62%. Both yields have fallen dramatically since September when the European Central Bank pledged to do whatever is necessary to keep borrowing costs for soaring uncontrollably as many market participants feared.
Market participants were also expected to pay close attention to budget talks in Washington, D.C. President Barack Obama and Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner met over the weekend for face-to-face talks. However, neither revealed the specific content. Boehner finds himself in a particularly tough position because he will need to convince disparate GOP caucuses in House to agree to any budget plan.

Honeywell (NYSE:HON) unveiled plans to buy Intermec for $600 million. Ingersoll-Rand (NYSE:IR) said it will spin off its residential and commercial security businesses. It also said it is boosting its quarterly dividend by 31% and announced a new $2 billion share buyback program.
There were no major economic reports due on the day. However, traders are preparing for the Federal Reserve's meeting that begins on Tuesday and ends Wednesday. The central bank will not only provide its latest monetary policy statement, but will also provide fresh economic forecasts. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will also be holding a press conference that day.
