It works!
This tent keeps bugs out.
I set it up in the forest.
I sat outside the tent.
I saw mosquitoes, a lady bug, an ant attempt entry.
They failed.
The bugs could not enter this tent.
LOVE it!
We are loving our new Black Diamond Beta Bug Shelter! My wife was not very stoked to sleep under our BD Beta-Mid, until we added the Beta Bug Shelter. Now she LOVES our new sleeping setup! Super easy to set up, and much more room than our standard 2-person tent.
Condensation is a bit of an issue, after a cold night sleeping 2 people, but not that much worse than our old small tent.
The flexibility of the Beta-Mid makes for great shading/ventilation options when the sun comes up!
Highly recommended, but it is part of our tent quiver. Not sure I would rely on this tent, alone, for all conditions.
Betalight Georgia test
I baught the beta light for Comberland island Georgia in late july. This was the best thing i had on the trip. Although the bugs were not really bad, this shelter allowed much air to circulate. I used it with a simple light weight 10 x 10 tarp. Also, i hung the beta with cord instead of poles. Poles get in the way. Several good thundersotrms proved that i needed to close the ends of my tarp. Will work on this idea. Otherwise very good bug shelter.
I bought the Beta Light after seeing someone use a teepee style tent for winter camping. It is incredilbily lite and small, and lots of space. This is more of an A frame though.
The BetaBug allows me to have a light weight "tent" when I would carry trekking poles anyway. Still pretty light if I bring the poles just for the tent.
I have not used it too much so far, but it lookes to have a solid bathtub floor, and the netting will keep you from touching the tent wall, which might have condensation. A small glitch which Bibler said they plan to fix, is the Bug's Door opens on the right, and the tarp on the left, when it is staked out. I may get the tarp sewn so I can stake out the other side.
You can unstake one of the front corners of the tarp, and roll it back so u get not only a front view, but a large side view as well. Then roll it shut by looping the tie out over the stake, perhaps just before falling asleep. It would be nice if you could stake out the door into an awning so you could leave it open when raining, when there no rain, might be able to add a little fabric a do this.
BetaBug Review
I love my BetaBug. I had the Betamid, which is the perfect tarp for my outdoor adventures...just about 2 pounds! The BetaBug gives the the added protection from nature's relentless nuisances...mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and other airborne pests. Thanks to the BetaBug I can get a restful nights sleep to tackle the next day's hike!
Going to be using this with the Beta Light--debating whether or not to seam seal the bathtub floor, any opinion on whether I should bother?
Would this be compatible with the golite shangri-la 2?
Hi this product looks amazing!! I don't...
Hi this product looks amazing!! I don't walk with poles if I purchase this does it come with poles or will I have to buy them separately? I noticed the beta mid and the beta light both don't come with poles. Cheers!
I think you will need to buy some poles, or just use sticks from the forrest.
I used the Black Diamond Mega Bug Shelter...
I used the Black Diamond Mega Bug Shelter on a NOLS course and I know it sleeps 4, does this tent sleep 4, 3, or 2? The picture looks decieving on the size, it's about the same footprint as the above mentioned.
this is two a two person tent
Typo on the weight? Under weight it says...
Typo on the weight? Under weight it says "2 lbs 13 ounces (825 g)" but 825 grams is 1 lb 13 oz. Also the description is correct stating that it's 29 oz. Plus Bdel says it's 825 g. :)
If I wanted to put it in my yard could I...
If I wanted to put it in my yard could I use it to sunbathed and not get bit by bugs would the sun be able to come through?
Yes to all!

Today I'm looking forward to sitting on a high level panel at the UN on the issue of youth and conflict. I was asked to participate in this because of a film and poetry initiative I did with UNFPA and the Women's Refugee Commission called Youth Zones (which you can view in English, French, Spanish or Arabic at www.YouthZones.org.)
With Youth Zones, I traveled with youth activist Chernor Bah from Sierra Leone and poetry mentor, Luke Nephew from the spoken word/creative writing non-profit I work with - Urban Word NYC - to Liberia, Colombia, Lebanon, Northern Uganda and New Orleans to document the struggles and resiliency of young people facing conflicts and natural disasters. My talk will focus specifically on the poetry workshops and how young people in emergencies can benefit and heal from such creative, safe spaces.
As part of my efforts to engage local artists in my film related outreach activities, I recruited Bajah from Bajah + The Dry Eye Crew to also sit on the panel to discuss his experiences as a youth growing up in war-torn Sierra Leone .Here is a really great 3-minute clip that touches on the experience of Bajah and his bandmates.

Whether you spend most of your time at home in the kitchen or you simply pass through on a frequent basis, you don't want this area to be less than pleasing to the eye. After all, the kitchen is where families tend to congregate, discuss and prepare meals while bonding.
If your kitchen is in dire need of some TLC, there's no better time to spruce it up with discount window treatments, new appliances and paint than now. Here are some tips for transforming your kitchen into a room to be proud of.
1. Paint your cabinets.
Are your cabinets still the same color they were back in the 80s? They could look brand new with a fresh coat of paint, and it'll only take you a few hours to do. Adding color to your kitchen might be all that's necessary to transform it from drab to fab.
2. Update your backsplash.
As CNN.com reports, your backsplash might be what's holding you down if it's become dated over the years and no longer caters to the interior design of the rest of your home. Consider updating your backsplash to instantly revamp the look and feel of your kitchen. Complement your tiling with custom window shades to get the full effect.
3. Be adventurous with color.
If you want to instantly breathe new life into your kitchen, FOX News recommends painting your walls a vibrant new color. Have you ever considered lime green? How about bright yellow? Although it might force you to step out of your comfort zone, doing so can freshen up your kitchen in the matter of a weekend.
Although the kitchen can be one of the most difficult spaces to remodel, a few tweaks might be all that's necessary to bring this living space back to life. Who knows? Maybe even after you finish, you'll want to spend more time cooking in this room!

Click on image above to view more photos from The Jazz Nutcracker.
On Dec. 9, Point Park University's Conservatory Dance Company opened the curtain to reveal The Jazz Nutcracker in the Rockwell Theatre at the Pittsburgh Playhouse. This is not your father's Nutcracker. Sexier and jazzier than any version seen before and with a fresh twist and new choreography, the dancers bring to life a whole sultry slew of characters.
Point Park senior dance major Sarah Zielinski dances the role of Clara in this year's production.
"As a giddy young girl, Clara can't wait for Christmas, and I admit I'm exactly like that giddy girl who simply can't wait to dance in this Christmas show," Zielinski said.
Benjamin Belhumeur, sophomore dance major, dances alongside Zielinski as Drosselmeyer. After performing in numerous versions of the famous dance, he said he is excited about this one in particular.
"I am excited to see the audience's reactions to such a unique and different approach to the typical Nutcracker," Belhumeur said.
The director for this year's production is Doug Bentz, creator of The Jazz Nutcracker. Bentz is a dance professor and also worked with Point Park students on this dance when The Jazz Nutcracker was revived at the Playhouse in 2000, 2001 and 2002.
Many of the dancers said they look to Bentz as more than just a director, but as a mentor, as well.
"It is a very exciting experience. Doug sees potential in many students and pushes them to reach that and much further. He has been very encouraging to me as a person and a performer," said Belhumeur. "He also trusts his cast to make smart choices. He loves for a collaboration of ideas to also create the final picture."
The Benny Benack Band plays live alongside the dancers at each performance.
"It adds an entire level of energy to the performance," said Zielinski.
Overall, the performers said they have had a great time performing in The Jazz Nutcracker this year.
"The whole production is the best experience," said Belhumeur. "I can't separate a favorite part because it truly is an overall experience."

Reports: LeBron to win MVP for fourth time
Miami, FL – Miami Heat forward LeBron James will be named the NBA's Most Valuable Player for the 2012-13 season, according to multiple reports.
USA Today reports the announcement will come Sunday.
It would mark James' fourth MVP award overall, all coming in the last five seasons.
James would become the fifth player in league history to capture at least four MVP awards. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar leads the way with six, followed by Michael Jordan and Bill Russell with five apiece, and Wilt Chamberlain with four.
The 28-year-old James helped the Heat to a franchise-record 66 regular season victories by posting 26.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game. He scored 2,036 points this season, the eighth 2,000-point season of his career. James became the youngest player in NBA history to post eight different 2,000- point seasons. He also shot a career-high 56.5 percent from the field and 40.6 percent from 3-point range this season.
The defending NBA champion Heat will begin the Eastern Conference semifinals Monday night at home against either the Chicago Bulls or Brooklyn Nets.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Barry University women's golf team remained in third place after Thursday's second round of the NCAA Division II National Championships.
The Buccaneers shot 294 on the LPGA International Legends Course, cutting eight strokes from their first-round total to remain comfortably in third place at 596 in the 72-hole, four-day tournament. Barry remained 10 strokes behind leader Nova Southeastern, while second-place Lynn shot the low round of the day at 288 to draw within three strokes of the lead entering Friday's third round.
St. Edward's is fourth, 17 strokes behind the Bucs, and Grand Canyon is fifth at 614 in the 12-team championship event.
Barry will tee off at 9:40 a.m. Friday.
All four of the Buccaneers' counting scores were no higher than 2-over for the day.
"We did what we had to do," Buccaneers first-year head coach Shannon Sykora said. "We didn't lose any ground to Nova, and we're right in it. They're all doing what they have to do, which is play each shot one shot at a time. It's just going to take everybody playing our best the next two days for us to be right there."
Barry sophomore Nancy Vergara remained second, this time in a three-way tie, after shooting par on the 6,228-yard course. Vergara is within a stroke of the lead, which Nova's Daniela Ortiz occupies at 2-under 142. Sharks teammate Linnea Johansson and Lander's Teresa Hernani are also tied with Vergara. Lynn's Louise Manalo is fifth at 144 after matching teammate Samantha Smolen's low round of the day at 69.
Buccaneers freshman Nicky Ferre shot 74, and is tied for 16th with Smolen and Tarleton State's Isabell JimenezPerea at 150. Barry sophomore Daniela Murray shot 74, and is tied for 22nd at 152. Senior Taylor Babcock also shot 74, and is tied for 26th with four other golfers. Freshman Maria Paola Fiorio shot 79, and is in a four-way tie for 33rd.
Babcock had four birdies in the second round, capping her day with two in the last four holes, including one on her last, the 366-yard, par-4 ninth. Vergara had two birdies and two bogeys in another steady round that maintained her position near the top of the leaderboard. Murray birdied the par-5 14th, while Ferre had birdies on Nos. 2 and 5, par-5 and par-4 holes, respectively. Fiorio had birdies on the par-5 eighth and par-3 12th.
"The team's attitude is positive, and they're not getting ahead of themselves," Sykora said. "They're doing a good job of staying in the present moment, and that's why they're in the thick of things."

The traditional focus in ancient Greek warfare has been on the heavily-armed infantryman called the hoplite. For roughly three hundred years (c. 650-350 BC), Greek hoplites, arrayed in the compact mass formation known as the phalanx, dominated the way states waged war. However, over time light-armed soldiers such as slingers, archers, javelin-men, and small-shield bearing soldiers called peltasts increasingly made significant contributions to military engagements. In fact, it was the effective use of light-armed soldiers during the late fifth and early fourth centuries BC that brought about fundamental changes in hoplite warfare. States could no longer rely just on the cumbersome and vulnerable hoplite phalanx to achieve victory in the field: they had to incorporate various auxiliary troops into their armies to keep up with the changing nature of war.
Connected to these military developments were transformations in the political sphere. As light-armed soldiers, who generally came from the lower classes, came to play a more significant role in war there was a tendency for states to become more democratic, often abolishing property qualifications for political participation and relying on a primary assembly for all major state decisions. This lecture will examine these military and political developments and their broader implications for ancient Greek society.
Dr. Nicholas Rockwell is assistant professor of ancient history at the University of Denver. He received his Ph.D. in 2008 from UCLA and his MA (2001) and BA (1996) from Fresno State where he also played football. He is currently finishing a book entitled The Boeotian Army: Military Integration and Ancient Greek Democracy, in which he examines the fundamental connections of warfare and politics in ancient Greece. He teaches courses at DU on ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, the Near East, and Classical Mythology.

The cut refers to both the shape and style of a diamond, as well as its proportions, symmetry and finish. The cut influences how light interacts with the stone to show its brilliance and sparkle, with the best cuts bringing out the luminosity of the stone.
Diamonds range in colour from the colourless "D" rating to the light yellow "Z". This difference can be very subtle but almost all stones will have a trace of yellow, brown or grey in them. The colour is assessed by a gemologist who uses a standardised set of master diamonds to give each stone its letter grading.
The clarity of a diamond is determined by how flawless it is. Because they are generally naturally formed stones, most diamonds carry at least some minor imperfections. The number and size of these flaws is used to assess each diamond's clarity grading. Only diamonds found to have no imperfections under 10x magnification receive the Flawless grade.
The weight of a diamond is measured in carats and is the most significant factor considered when assessing the value of a stone. The larger the diamond, the heavier it is. However, a big diamond that performs poorly in the other 4 C's is likely to be valued significantly lower than a small diamond that achieves high ratings in these other categories.
Confidence is the fifth - and most recent C. It refers to the diamond having a grading certificate from an independent and reputable grading laboratory which verifies its authenticity. Diamond grading certificates typically include all the unique characteristics of your diamond, as well as individual gradings for the 4 other C's - cut, colour, clarity and carat weight.

Anyone who has ever been a caretaker knows how stressful and overwhelming it can be. To maintain your sanity, you have to keep your sense of humor. Now imagine being a caretaker with three teenagers, a dog, two cats, hot flashes and a husband, the actor David Morse, whose job requires him to be away from home for months at a time and – oh yeah – a mother who is a nun. One can either slowly lose his or her marbles or do what Morse did – write a book.
About 25 attendees gathered on March 8 to hear first-time author Susan Morse discuss her memoir "The Habit" at the Epiphany Chapel on the Willow Grove campus of Springside Chestnut Hill Academy. Jane Hamilton, author of "The Caregiver's Guide to Self-Care" moderated the evening. Anne Anspach, school store manager at SCH had invited Morse to speak.
"I knew Susan from her days here as a parent of two CHA boys and a Springside girl," Anspach said. "I read her book, which is funny and beautifully written. Many of us are taking care of parents and children, so her book really struck a chord with me and many of my friends. I thought she could be a great resource to our community, so I invited her to do the book reading."
Morse's memoir paints a picture of her unique relationship with her mother, "Ma," who at 85 became an Orthodox nun – Mother Bridget. Her book "The Habit" gives the reader a narrative window to the universal mother-daughter paradox. Morse struggles to stay sane as she takes care of her eccentric, artistic, strong-willed mother.
The story resonates with many caretakers who are part of that "sandwich generation." Morse, who already has her hands full raising three teenagers, suddenly finds herself navigating the maze of HMOs, PPOs, Medicare, supplemental health insurance, Rxs, doctors, hospital staff and social workers. In order to maneuver through the nightmare of the healthcare system, she first had to learn the secret code or jargon of health care professionals.
Morse read the following excerpt from her book, titled "Plug Pulling for Dummies":
ME (on the phone to Colette): Ma had Medicare with a state Medigap when she first got to the Nork. Then I switched her to an HMO. LTC worked out great once we approved her ADLs were messed up. Unfortunately, that nightmare Alf experiment was a total fiasco. So Ma had to go home and that's why we didn't want her to do the TATA. Now that the co-pays have gone up so much, I've decided to switch her out of ESD to Medicare with an Arp Medigap, which may help the Arnack at Sniff to get her PT and OT paid for along with her OxyIR and the other Rxs. What we should be thankful for is that her mini-mental was almost perfect.
Colette: What?
The audience smiled and nodded knowingly as she read. Many of the audience members were part of the "sandwich generation" – they understood the difficulties of raising a family and attempting to care for an elderly parent at the same time.
A classic element of the book is the almost debilitating ordeal of being the primary care taker of an elderly parent. Morse has always had an unusual relationship with her mother. She was the "special" child. In the book, she describes "special" as being "'her mother's frazzled caretaker, a role that continued into adulthood.'"
Morse was asked when she decided to write the book. She said that early on she began sending email messages to her siblings, who were out of town, about what they were "going through everyday."
"At the end of each day, I had all these notes that I had taken from doctors," Morse said. "It was so overwhelming to continually go through it. I felt this incredible urge to give them [her family] something. It was a very cleansing thing. They [her siblings] kept cheering me on."
She added that the book allowed her "to make some sense out of it."
Morse said her sister encouraged her to write about their mother and her extraordinary life.
"And so I did," she said. "And what was so amazing was that our story – with all its conflicts and resolutions – ended up being therapeutic. It was an amazing, miraculous story, and it actually ended up being quite healing."
An attendee asked, "What impact did this have on your siblings?"
"In the book, there is a lot of family history, and it's all from my perspective," Morse said. "So, it has really opened up a kind of dialogue for us about what we remember or how we felt about things. I think it has been kind of healing."
The original title of the book was "Nobody dies at the end of this book" because Morse said friends kept asking when she was going to publish the book – after her mother died? She explained that she couldn't even conceive of the thought of her mother's death in relationship to the book. She wanted her mother to be part of the celebration.
A friend, who is an author, suggested the title: "The Habit."
"[In the book,] I talk about my relationship with my mother," Morse said. "I was the caretaker from early on, so I had to struggle against the habit of that."
And, of course, Morse noted, her mother literally wears a habit.

Research from www.moneysupermarket.com showed that with costs of having a car on the rise big time in the UK, 70 percent of drivers surveyed are considering cutbacks to keep their car. In fact, the most common money-saving ways highlighted included spending less on shoes (34 percent), buying less booze and cigarettes (28 percent), and going to the pub less often (26 percent). Those drastic measures are because 33 percent said they could not live without their vehicle, while 31 percent "would find life tricky" without. You want a tricky life? Try no shoes, smokes, or pub.

The AAMI spokesperson said doing either of those makes you a stupid ninnie (not in so many words); he suggested taking a break to stretch, getting a breath of fresh air, or power napping. We assume he didn't mean that last one should happen while behind the wheel or we wouldn't be having this conversation to begin with.

GM continues to dig through its archives to celebrate Chevy's anniversary, so we'll just keep on soaking up the fact-finding missions. For example, the 1⁄2-ton '18 Four-Ninety "cowl chassis" was the first venture in to the truck market in the 1918 model year. It cost $595. However, some earlier versions may have been ambulanced and sent to France in 1914.
The '30 pickup had the new inline-six, which was first made in 1928, and had the nicknames "Cast Iron Wonder" and the familiar "Stovebolt." The Task Force trucks arrived in the mid-1950s and had an optional new small-block V-8 but standard design elements from the '55 Bel Air. The same period brought the Cameo Carrier, which GM called a "high-styled gentleman's pickup." It lasted only until 1958; referencing it as such probably is what killed it. What killed the Corvair, which launched in 1961, was possibly the forward control-ness. It was RIP in 1964 with only 851 sold as its legacy.
When the S-10 debuted in 1982, it had a four-banger worth just 82 horses. Staffer Brubaker can fill in everything else about it. Ask him; we dare you. And the first official Silverado pickup was 1999. You know how that history book ends. Or begins.

I am a 4th generation Falkland Islander on my mother's side. My family moved to the UK in 1975 when my father was posted back to the UK to help set up the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) HQ in Cambridge. My brother returned to live in the Falklands in 1986 and still does so.
I joined the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in 1990 and served with them for 25 years. I have had postings in Moscow, Washington DC and Canberra. I was also part of their Rapid Deployment Team for many years and travelled to China in 2008 after the terrible earthquake they suffered to look for, and give consular aid to missing British nationals.
I have been back to the Falklands on several occasions for holidays, and each time I know I am home - especially when that first gust of wind hits me! I am a long-standing member of the FIA and, after being retired from the FCO on medical grounds, was able to take up the role Membership Secretary in 2015.
Development Secretary: Beverley McLeod
I am a Falkland Islander who travelled to England in 1963, with the support of a Falkland Island Government Scholarship, to be educated in Dorset. I graduated as a teacher and taught in several Secondary Schools in Bristol and London before taking early retirement in 2004. I worked as an Education Consultant until 2010. I currently live in Bristol but visit my mother, who lives in Stanley, as often as I can. Between 1957 and 1960, I lived on South Georgia where my father was the Chief Wireless Operator. I recently wrote a book about this part of my childhood with the title "In The Shadow Of Shackleton's Cross".
The Hon. Alexandra Shackleton BA, FRGS
My interest in the Falkland Islands really began when I renamed HMS ENDURANCE in 1968. She was the Falkland Island's guard ship and the Navy's ice patrol ship for many years. My interest increased when my father, Lord Shackleton, produced the 1976 and 1982 Reports on the Islands.He was the youngest child of Ernest Shackleton.
I have a History degree from Trinity College Dublin. I was Sponsor of HMS ENDURANCE for 23 years, Bob Turner was my last Captain. I am currently Sponsor of the BAS ship RRS Ernest Shackleton. I have been to the Falkland Islands 8 times, South Georgia 3 times & the Antarctic 4 times & I am a member of associated committees. I have spoken in many countries on Shackleton's leadership & been Patron of several Polar Expeditions.
Peter Johnson
A FIA Executive Committee member since 2001 and Chairman of the UK Falkland Islands Trust from 2000 to 2008. Born and educated in Oxford. 36 years in the Royal Air Force as a fast-jet pilot, manager and commander, serving in UK, Germany, Cyprus and the USA and as Commander British Forces Falkland Islands from June 1994 to August 1995.

Colonel (Retd) Mike Bowles MBE
My first visit to and contact with the Islands was in 1982 when I deployed with the Task Force as Commander of the Army's Port Squadron. Following the cessation of hostilities I remained in Stanley until the October setting up the port operation for the ongoing support of the Garrison. In 1995 I returned for a posting with HQ BFFI with my family for a 15 month tour of duty (working for Peter Johnson as CBF!). I joined the FIA and Falklands Conservation, subsequently becoming a Trustee of the latter (2007 – 2011). I am a member of SAMA 82, was a Trustee from 2008 to 2014 and chairman of Trustees for the last 4 of those years.
Nina Ashton
My interest in the Falkland Islands really began when I met and subsequently married Robert who served both on NP8901 in 78-79 and again on HMS Endurance prior to and during the conflict. My association increased further in 1986 when Robert and I moved to Stanley to live. Robert worked as a Policeman before joining Fisheries Protection, ultimately ending up at Falkland Farmers whilst I worked for Standard Chartered Bank in Stanley. We remained in the Islands for 2 ½ years getting to know the people and the Islands well and we still have many friends there.
I currently live in Devon with Robert and work for Devon and Cornwall Police who are the supporting Force for Falkland Islands Police. Other than 1986, I have been back to the Falkland Islands twice (but have still not seen as much of it as I would like) and to South Georgia once when I was able to see where Robert "did his bit" during the conflict.
Vice-Chairman: Saul Pitaluga
Deborah Northwood
I lived at the military base on the Falkland Islands between June 2001 and April 2003 and during this time visited as many of the settlements and met as many residents as possible.
I left feeling inspired by the wildlife, scenery and life stories I had seen and heard, and the passion for the Islands felt by the residents. This included their sincere thankfulness for the Military personnel who came and recovered the Islands, as well as their continuing resolve to remain linked with the United Kingdom.
That is why I joined the FIA, to help make sure all freedoms are preserved and why I have volunteered for Veteran Outreach Support, a charity founded by Falkland Veterans.
Website Administrator: Tamsin Cunningham
Tamsin is a Falkland Islander by birth and has been a member of the Association since 1991. She has lived all over the world, firstly while working in the FCO and since accompanying her husband; the family are now settled in the UK. She recently completed her BSc(Hons) in Social Sciences with Social Policy and Sociology and is a Verger at Peterborough Cathedral.
Steve Wiggins
The first time I heard of the Falkland Islands was when I was at home two weeks into a six week annual leave programme; whilst sat watching TV there was a news flash announcing that Argentina had invaded the Islands. I contacted P & O with whom I was employed at the time and was instructed to go to Southampton to re-join Canberra.
The first time I saw the Falklands was in the dead of night on the 21st May as we passed Fanning Head making our way into San Carlos Bay. The rest as they say is History.
Now all these years later I believe it is important that we engage with the younger generation to ensure that this important event is not forgotten.

FORT MYERS, Fla. (Feb. 4, 2010) -- Hoping to rally and get back into the race for the Atlantic Sun Conference regular season title, the ETSU men's basketball team heads on the road to face Florida Gulf Coast in the first of two road games this weekend. Tipoff against the Eagles is set for 7:30 p.m. Thursday night.
The Bucs (11-12 overall, 7-5 A-Sun) will be looking to regroup after going 2-3 over a five-game stretch that included three home games and a two-game swing through Nashville.
With eight games remaining in the regular season, ETSU still has time to right the ship and prepare for the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament to be held March 3-6 in Macon, Ga.
For more on Thursday's game, click on the game notes link above, or read the game notes below.
Buc bits
Having dropped two of their last three games and falling two games back of Jacksonville for first place in the Atlantic Sun Conference race, ETSU finds itself in need of a bounce back win as the Buccaneers take to the road to the face FGCU and Stetson this weekend ... The Bucs lost back-to-back close contests to Lipscomb (84-85) and Belmont (67-74) to fall to 11-12 overall, 7-5 in league play ... ETSU now heads on the road where they are just 4-8 on the season ... Preseason All Atlantic Sun Conference pick Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) remains doubtful for the FGCU game after having missed the Bucs last 13 contests, and is likely headed toward a medical redshirt season. In Smith's absence, Tommy Hubbard (Boston), along with Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) and Micah Williams (Manchester) have stepped up their games. In fact, Hubbard has posted double-doubles 11 times this season. ... Currently, Hubbard and Tubbs lead the team in scoring, with Hubbard averaging 14.8 points per game, and Tubbs pitching in 13.0 a contest. Williams is the only other ETSU player averaging double figures with 11.2 a contest.
The series against FGCU
The Bucs and Eagles have met just four times, with FGCU just joining the Atlantic Sun Conference in 2007-08 ... ETSU holds a 3-1 edge in the series, having won twice in Johnson City and once in Fort Myers, Fla. ... The two teams split their meetings a year ago, but the Bucs won the most recent battle earlier this season 73-51.
Last time against FGCU
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 16, 2010) - In need of a bounce back performance, the ETSU men's basketball team used a tenacious defensive effort to hold Florida Gulf Coast to just 10 points in the first half and ultimately cruised to a decisive 73-51 victory in Atlantic Sun Conference play Saturday afternoon at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center ... The Buccaneers (9-9 overall, 5-2 A-Sun) ultimately forced the Eagles (5-12 overall, 2-6 A-Sun) into 26 turnovers and grabbed 11 steals, and held FGCU to 35 percent shooting from the floor and 23 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. Meanwhile, the Bucs got a game-high 21 points from junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston), and junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) pitched in 15 in the winning effort. ... In the first half, ETSU fell behind 5-3 when a Reggie Chambers 3-pointer found the bottom of the net. However, from there the Bucs turned up the defensive pressure and used its trapping zone defense to stymie the Eagles. ETSU ultimately used a 17-0 run to power a strong first half and outscored FGCU 31-5 the rest of the half to lead 34-10 at the break. ... It was the lowest first-half point total for an ETSU opponent this season. ... The second half was no different, as the Bucs' advantage grew to as many as 33 points at 65-32 with 7:30 left in the contest. The Eagles battled back to cut the final deficit down to 22, but could not manage a significant comeback. ... FGCU held a 46-38 edge on the glass, but most all the other statistical numbers favored the Bucs. ETSU shot 39 percent from the floor and 32 percent from 3-point range, hitting on a solid 68 percent from the free throw line. The Bucs went 23 of 34 shots from the line, while FGCU was just 11-of-25 at the charity stripe. ... The Eagles were led by Anthony Banks' 15 points. No other FGCU player reached double figures.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 1, 2010) - Despite a 16-2 run that pulled the ETSU men's basketball team to within two points in the final two minutes, freshman guard Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) missed a dunk that would have tied the game and the Belmont Bruins used the momentum shift of that moment to pull away for a 74-67 win in Atlantic Sun Conference action Monday evening inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center ... A crowd of 4,137 fans looked on as the Bruins surged ahead to a 63-47 advantage with 6:23 left in the game. However, the Bucs used a frantic pace and fullcourt defense to force the issue in the final minutes, going on an offensive run that ultimately led to Cooley with the ball in his hands going to the basket. On the play, though, senior guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) appeared to be shoved to the floor, distracting Cooley at the final moment before he dunked the ball ... Both teams battled back and forth in the first half, with the Bucs using an 8-0 run to build a seven point lead at 22-15 with 8:04 left before the intermission. However, the Bruins (13-10, 8-5) answered over the next seven minutes to take a 33-30 edge into the locker room. ... In the second half, the Bruins kept converting on the offensive end as the Bucs struggled to find their comfort zone in the halfcourt offense. The result was a Belmont lead that grew to as many as 17 points when an Ian Clark 3-pointer found the bottom of the net with 7:08 left in the game. ... However, the Bucs rallied thanks to a 3-pointer from Cooley, five straight points from sophomore forward Isiah Brown (Miami), four straight free throws from junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston), and four final points from Davis on a pair of free throws and a layup. Those scores came as Belmont could only get a pair of free throws from forward Jon House. ... For the game, ETSU got a team high 17 points from Brown, while Hubbard finished with his 11th double-double of the season with 16 points and 12 boards. Belmont got a game high 18 points from Keaton Belcher, while Mick Hedgepeth posted 16 and Drew Hanlen added 15. ... ETSU shot 45 percent from the floor, but just 13 percent from 3-point range. The Bucs held Belmont to 40 percent shooting and 22 percent from beyond the arc. Belmont won the battle of the boards 39-35, and both teams committed 16 turnovers each.
Jan. 30 not a good day for Bucs
For the second year in a row, the Buccaneers dropped a critical overtime game on Jan. 30 ... One year ago, the Bucs fell 82-72 at Jacksonville, in a game that Dolphins' guard Ben Smith hit a long range 3-pointer to tie the game in regulation and force the extra period ... Just two days ago, the Bucs again found themsevles in an overtime game on Jan. 30, losing a nine-point lead in regulation with six minutes left and ultimately giving up a five-point lead in OT to fall to Lipscomb, 85-84.
Century mark not usual for ETSU defense
Giving up 100 points in the loss to Belmont (1/23/10) was not usual for the Buccaneers ... Before that game, the Bucs had not given up 100 or more point in over two years ... The last time it happened was on Dec. 15, 2007, when the Bucs lost to Syracuse 125-75 ... This season, the most points the ETSU defense had allowed was 85, in games at Arkansas and UAB ... For the year, the ETSU defense is giving up an average of just 69.2 points per game.
Jones steps up at the point
Coming off the bench to play the point guard position in the Bucs' last game against Lipscomb, sophomore guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) answered in a big way with a career high 17 points, including the game-winning 3-pointer with .4 seconds left in regulation ... Jones played 23 minutes in the game and was 3-of-4 from 3-point range.
Williams bringing more offense to the table
Junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) has worked his way into the starting lineup thanks mainly to back-to-back strong efforts on the offensive end ... Against North Georgia, Williams posted a career high 22 points in leading the Bucs to the win, and he followed that effort with an 18-point night against Murray State ... He has scored in double figures in 10 of his last 13 games ... Currently, Williams is one of three Bucs averaging double figures scoring this year with 11.2 points per game.
Hubbard steps up game, averaging near double-double
Much has been written and reported about junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) and his efforts to improve his offensive game, and those strides have led to some solid numbers ... Already considered one of the best defenders in the A-Sun, Hubbard posted a 32-point and 10-rebound effort in the win over Arkansas and dropped in another game-high 26 in the win over UNF ... He currently leads the Bucs with 14.8 points per game and 8.8 rebounds a contest ... while he has posted double-doubles in 10 of his last 21 games, his efforts began to pay off on the offensive end against Chattanooga back on Nov. 17 ... Setting career bests for points (26) and rebounds (13), Hubbard collected his first career double-double against the Mocs ... In addition, he hit his first 3-point shot in three seasons with the Bucs, and didn't stop there -- ultimately finishing with four long-range bombs on the night.
Record setting night from the arc for Bucs
Hitting on 11-of-14 shots from 3-point range against Arkansas, the Bucs put their name in a multiple of record books ... First, those numbers set a new school record for 3-point field goal percentage in a game with a 78.6 percent mark, breaking the previous record of 66.7 percent which had been done three times previously ... In addition, it was the best shooting effort in the "nation" this season for teams taking more than 10 shots in a game ... And it was the best percentage by a team in the A-Sun since Nov. 28, 1999 when UCF was 11-of-14 in a game against South Carolina state.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 136-44 inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 77 percent ... The Bucs had won five straight at Memorial Center during the 2006-07 season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor that season, but fell to Belmont in the championship of the A-Sun Tourney... In 2007-08, the Bucs were 11-2 at Memorial Center ... In 2008-09, the Bucs were 11-2 at home ... This season, ETSU has actually struggled in the Dome, going 6-4 in the Dome and 1-0 in Brooks Gym.
Sollazzo to honor Coy with number change
When ETSU's rising sophomore forward Seth Coy (Montgomery, Ind.) was tragically killed in a car accident this summer, it left the entire Buccaneer community with a deep sense of loss ... As is often the case, those that are left to mourn have looked for ways to remember the Bucs' 6-foot-11 "Gentle Giant." ... For sophomore guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa), who was Coy's roommate, the answer was simple ... Changing his jersey number from No. 20 to Coy's No. 43, Sollazzo will play the 2009-10 season to honor his friend and have that memory with him each night.
Big questions surround Bucs entering 2009-10
With the loss of seniors Courtney Pigram and Kevin Tiggs -- one of the most dynamic offensive duos in the country -- the Bucs have a lot of questions to answer on the offenisve end of the floor this season ... Having averaged 78.1 points a game a year ago, which ranked 21st nationally in all of Division I play -- ETSU has lost 44.0 of those points to graduation when one includes now departed senior Greg Hamlin in that trio ... In addition to the losses on offensive, the Bucs' 13-man roster includes just eight players who have experienced actual floor time in college ... The other five players are either true freshmen, redshirt freshmen or walk-ons.

Aerosmith Plan Surprise Pre-Election Boston Street Concert
Boston and politics go hand in hand, but one thing that Bostonians like as much as an election is their hometown heroes, Aerosmith, and the band is planning something special for election week. The group has announced their intent to play a surprise show next Monday (Nov. 5), a day before we elect our president, as they try to rally their fans not only to vote but to also pick up their new album, 'Music From Another Dimension,' which arrives the next day.
The group will play somewhere on the streets of Boston around noon on Monday, but the band is keeping the location secret in order to help with crowd control issues. They'll officially announce the location Monday morning once they get the thumbs up from the local authorities.
Guitarist Joe Perry says, "Anyone who votes is a Freedom Fighter," quoting a song title from their new album. Perry recently declared himself "an old school Republican," and presidential hopeful Mitt Romney claimed that Aerosmith was one of his favorite groups, but ultimately the idea of the rally is to get their fans to vote, no matter which candidate they support.
The Monday performance will also serve as a warm-up of sorts, as the group will resume their 'Global Warming' tour with Cheap Trick on Nov. 8. in Oklahoma City.

Detroit Pistons coach John Loyer was asked before Saturday's game against the Clippers if he thought there was a chance the Clippers could come out and struggle because they hadn't played since Monday.
Loyer wasn't buying it.
"That's a veteran team," he said.
The Clippers got off to a quick start and led by 13 points in the first quarter, yet were ahead by just a point at halftime. But Los Angeles got it together – at times, anyway – and eventually came away with a rather hard-fought 112-103 victory over the Pistons before a sellout crowd of 19,214 at Staples Center.
A win is a win, but it came a little too tough against a team that entered with a record of 25-43. Detroit was within six points (100-94) with 3:50 to play before the Clippers closed it out.
One of the keys was a third quarter during which the Clippers outscored the Pistons 24-15. Los Angeles, which actually led by as many as 16 points (74-58) in the quarter, played much better defense. When the third quarter began the Pistons were shooting 51.1 percent. When it ended, they were down to 42 percent.
Los Angeles led 80-70 entering the fourth.
Chris Paul led the Clippers with 28 points and 15 assists, including his 6,000th in the first quarter.
"He's an amazing point guard, one of the best of all time," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "And he played in front of one of the best of all time today in Isiah (Thomas)," who was on hand.
Paul was asked if he had modeled himself after Thomas in any way. He answered in the negative.
"He's somebody that I've watched and admired and stuff like that," Paul said. "Isiah is one of the greatest, one of the best to ever play the game. I think that fierceness that he played with, that edge … and I'm not as quick and fast he ever was."
Thomas, who played for the Pistons, is seventh on the all-time list with 9,061 assists.
Rivers admitted he was a bit concerned about how his team might fare because it had not played in a game since losing Monday at Denver.
"First half, I thought it was sketchy," he said of his team's defense. "But in the thid quarter it was phenomenal. I thought we turned it on. I was worried about this game just from, you take four days off and you're going to be sloppy and late on a lot of stuff. I thought we were that.
"I thought we were tired a lot because you just aren't in game condition anymore when you have that many days off. We saw a lot of that. But I liked the way we came out and imposed our defense will in the third quarter."
Blake Griffin had 25 points, seven assists and seven rebounds. Matt Barnes and Danny Granger scored 14 apiece, but Barnes shot just 5 of 16 from the field.
Los Angeles shot 54.2 percent from the field, the Pistons 45.2
Griffin said the coaching staff kind of gave the players the business at halftime after the way it played in the second quarter, when the Clippers were outscored 29-20.
"We obviously had a poor second quarter and felt like can't give up leads lke that," Griffin said. "I thought the coaches gave us the right talk at halftime and I thought we responded the right way."
Jonas Jerebko scored 22 for Detroit, Brandon Jennings had 19 points and Andre Drummond 16. Jerebko made 8 of 12 from the field, 5 of 7 from 3-point range and was often left alone. He liked his game, but found it difficult to celebrate.
"It's tough to lose a game, so I can't be too happy about it," he said. "But at least I saw the ball go through the rim a couple of times."

According to new reports, Microsoft will be unveiling their new Xbox video game console, rumored to be called the Xbox 720, on May 21st. Here's what you need to know.
1. Microsoft Sent Out Invites Today
The invite, seen above, is cryptic but is clearly about the Xbox video game console. Microsoft has a ton of projects, from mobile development, to tablets and personal computers, so by specifying what this event is about gives us a great preview to what we can expect.
2. Don Mattrick is Mentioned By Name
Who is Don Mattrick? Mattrick is Microsoft's President of the Interactive Entertainment Business, and has overseen the development of dozens of video game projects from Microsoft, including the Xbox 720 and the Kinect. Mattrick is another sign that this event will be about a future Xbox device.
3. The Event Will Be in Washington
The event is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. PST on May 21, 2013, less than a month away. Similar to other companies, Microsoft will hold the event near its headquarters in Redmond, Washington.
4. There's Been a lot of Controversy About the Xbox 720's "Always-On" Feature
There are rumors that the Xbox 720 will be forced to always be connected to the Internet, or the console won't work. When this detail leaked online, fans were absolutely livid over the idea. A Microsoft employee — who was later let go — argued on Twitter that being "always-on" and constantly connected to the Internet isn't a big deal — and he has a point. Do you use an electronic device that isn't connected to the Internet (maybe besides a TV)? I don't think I do.
5. The Xbox 720 Will Be Packed With Features
As we previously wrote, the Xbox 720 will have some outstanding features, even if it has an "always-on" Internet connection. According to news reports, the Xbox 720 will have an advanced Kinect, capable of recognizing 6 people and will be able to run multiple apps/games at the same time. Quite the high-powered video game console.

Modeling, Controlling, and Characterizing the Velo Gripper Prototype
During his summer internship, Jeff Hawke from Georgia Tech worked with us on modeling, controlling and characterizing a novel robotic gripper.
The new gripper, named Velo 2G, is underactuated, using a single active flexor tendon to perform both fingertip and enveloping grasps. To integrate the Velo with the PR2 robot, the first task was to create a Universal Robot Description File (or URDF) containing an analytical model of its actuation mechanism. The second step was to write a controller able to command the gripper to a desired finger gap, while limiting the applied grip force to a specified value. Jeff also studied the relationship between applied motor torque and resulting grip force, and wrote a more advanced controller able to sustain large grip forces for prolonged periods of time while applying low current to the actuator.
We are now testing the Velo 2G on the PR2 robot, performing grasping and manipulation tasks on a wide range of objects, both autonomously and under tele-operation. For more details, see the Velo 2G webpage at www.willowgarage.com/velo2g

Every day at Shapeways, thousands of people make their ideas real with 3D printing, and as a result, the Shapeways community is igniting a culture of creativity. For many, though, 3D printing remains an unbelievable, futuristic technology that creates physical objects from thin air.
We know firsthand that seeing is believing. So we're thrilled to launch a series of films about 3D printing, our creative community, and how this incredible technology is changing all of our lives.
This first video provides an inside look into the Shapeways vision, community, and 3D printing magic.
If you're inspired, help ignite the culture of creativity and share the film!
Many thanks to all involved, including our brilliant director Stephan Malik, composer Tai Vare, and the community members who let us peek into their lives and inspire us daily: Colleen Jordan, Cunicode, GothamSmith, Michiel Cornelissen, Nervous System, NovaKingWay, and Virtox. And special thanks for the whole Shapeways team who makes this all possible.

TRAINING LEVEL: Intermediate
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 20 Maximum: 40
This course expands the suite of FHWA services to assist State and local governments in the successful implementation of load and resistance factor design (LRFD). The course promotes the philosophy of the LRFD design platform, establishes the motivation for LRFD as a reassurance that safe design practices are being applied, and applies these principles to geotechnical design for bridge foundations. The course's PowerPoint slides and Participant Workbook are regularly updated and the course follows the latest American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) "LRFD Bridge Design Specifications".
Major topics in this course include: loads, load distribution, and load combinations; principles of limit state designs; geotechnical spread footing design (soil and rock); driven pile and drilled shaft design (soil and rock); and substructure design and detailing for a cantilever abutment and hammerhead pier.
Structured as a combination of Instructor-led discussions and workshop exercises, this course includes LRFD theory applied to design examples and illustrates step-by-step LRFD design procedures. The training includes the extensive use of student exercises and example problems to demonstrate overall design, detailing, and construction principles addressed in the reference materials. The course also provides hands-on experience in the AASHTO LRFD design and detailing of bridge abutment and pier elements, deep and shallow foundation design, and earth retaining structures. Exercise and example problems are based on components of overall comprehensive bridge design examples using AASHTO LRFD and provide comparisons between ASD, LFD, and LRFD design methods.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
Bridge, geotechnical, and transportation engineers with 0-20 years of experience who are responsible for the design and construction of bridge substructures on surface transportation facilities may benefit from this course.

Three or four story houses are just too much pain to navigate. The truth is it can be classified into various types, and it is all dependent on the form of house desired by the homeowner. It's still considerably less expensive than buying a typical free standing house, and you skip the strain of building it from the bottom up. My favourite area of the house is the huge kitchen and the expansive deck that produces the home feel even bigger. On the contrary, it acts as a lovely and functional house, though the land it is situated on measures less than seven feet in width! Actually, a stunning, functional house with a minimal theme is among the hardest to design.

The home is broken up into three levels, but the size is excellent for a single person. The Glass House is really a famed structure erected in 1949. Furthermore, the home is also sustainable. In the event the two-story house, laying the items in every single floor also needs to be harmonious.
The house was made to be low cost and simple to assemble. Cube houses are among the most common modern architecture examples. Despite being strong enough to withstand earthquakes, the home is made from lightweight modular compartments that could be transported by standard delivery container. So that many people would rather have a minimalist house rather than the large and fancy one. They will rent the tiny house for the first three years and be added to a lien for the last four.

To all the people that have hated the film from day one and for those who thought that this sequel will kill the franchise are entirely wrong, as Leatherface looks set to carve up a new legacy beginning with the most recent Texas Chainsaw 3D.
According to our friends over at B-D, a sequel to Texas Chainsaw 3D will indeed be moving ahead and apparently the producers have the rights to make a whopping six more Chainsaw films. Now I don't know about you, but if that goes ahead it feels a little like overkill, but hell, I'm a fan of the Elm Street series so I'd say give me another six of them.
Texas Chainsaw 3D massacred the competition at the box-office, and proving for a second year running that horror is dominating the box-office in January. Last year The Devil Inside came out on top, but again, money doesn't mean the film is any good.
So what did you guys make of the recent Chainsaw flick? And who's up for yet more mayhem from the Sawyer family?

Imago lacus
The picture above was taken by a dear friend, the American poet Debra Kang Dean (please do not use it without permission). I met Debra three years before, when I went to Walden to work with his late husband Brad, a great Thoreau scholar. Once we spent hours tracking this quotation: "Some men go fishing all their lives without ever realizing it's not fish they are after." We concluded that Thoreau never wrote it, but si non è vero...

Houston is home to Bayou City Art Festival, which is considered to be one of the top five art festivals in the nation. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo lasts over 20 days, and is definitely a great way to experience Houston. The National Museum of Funeral History houses the original Popemobile used by Pope John Paul II along with numerous other funeral memorabilia.

Good morning.
Just as fast as the hype over a "great rotation" swept over the stock market, it appears to be on its way out.
At least if Mark Hulbert's assessment of the patterns is any indication.
But for those still leaning toward ramping up their equity exposure, Goldman Sachs says the downside risks facing the economy have diminished.
Goldman's top economist Jan Hatzius explains in the note that there doesn't seem to be any buckling under the $200-billion tax increase and that Republicans in Congress are softening on using the debt ceiling to force more spending cuts. Read about the new Simpson-Bowles plan for cutting the deficit by $2.4 trillion.
Meanwhile, China's budget phone market is so hungry it could eat a horse, and perhaps Apple could stem the bleeding by capitalizing on it. But we'll get into that later.
So far, investors are nibbling into more upside potential for stocks as the U.S. market is starting off this holiday-shortened week in the green.
Key market gauges: Futures on the S&P /quotes/zigman/8751039 ESH3 and the Dow /quotes/zigman/9049316 YMH3 are up less than 1% apiece. Europe /quotes/zigman/2380150 XX:SXXP is enjoying a strong session across the board, with France's CAC 40 /quotes/zigman/3173214 FR:PX1 and Germany's DAX /quotes/zigman/2380246 DX:DAX leading the way. Asia /quotes/zigman/6959860 XX:ADOW closed just a touch above the flat line, held in check by weakness in Shanghai /quotes/zigman/1859015 CN:000001 .
Keep an eye on the pound /quotes/zigman/4867886/sampled GBPUSD . George Soros, the mastermind behind a recent yen windfall, is at it again. This time he's joined by other high-profile traders who see "compelling similarities" between the Japanese currency and sterling, according to the Financial Times. They're calling it the "Carney short" in honor of the current governor of the Bank of Canada/soon-to-be governor of the Bank of England.
Earnings: The earnings season is mostly in the rear-view mirror, but Dell /quotes/zigman/27952 /quotes/nls/dell DELL and Herbalife /quotes/zigman/361145 /quotes/nls/hlf HLF , two mainstays in the news these days, post results. Read Stocks to Watch and also check out why Michael Dell is going private.
The buzz: Mmmm … horse pasta? If you're a fan of Nestle's /quotes/zigman/504501 CH:NESN beef pasta products and you live in Europe, you probably eat horse. Read more about why the world's biggest food company is withdrawing products on the Continent. And if you just can't get enough horse meat … information, Zero Hedge drills down.
Other top-trending tickers on StockTwits include gold /quotes/zigman/88377 /quotes/nls/gold GOLD , as the shiny metal continues to climb back from the six-month lows it touched last week, and, again, Herbalife /quotes/zigman/361145 /quotes/nls/hlf HLF , as investors clamor for more from the billionaire clash.
Trending on Google News, Novartis /quotes/zigman/171707 /quotes/nls/nvs NVS drops the non-compete clause and cancels its outgoing chairman's $78-million package. Also, Reader's Digest filed for bankruptcy Monday. Again. In other news, Reader's Digest is still a publication? At any rate, it is, and it's looking to slash almost half a billion dollars through Chapter 11.
The chart of the day: Back to the whole Soros and currency thing. The Marc to Market blog posted this illustration of the decoupling of the euro and the pound. Marc Chandler of Brown Brothers Harriman uses this chart to illustrate how there's been a shift in speculative sentiment. For the first time since September, the net speculative sterling position is now short, he pointed out, adding that the pound hasn't seen this degree of short-selling since last June.
The call of the day: If Apple /quotes/zigman/68270 /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL would just wise up and come out with a $330 "iPhone Mini" in China, its market share could triple, according to a report from Morgan Stanley. If the phone were to launch this year, Apple's gross margin would take a 2% hit to 49%, but its iPhone business would be boosted by some $2.4 billion in profit. Read more from AppleInsider as it dives into the numbers.

Learning Index >> Ceramic Decoration: a selective guide to pots in the collection of the Crafts Study Centre
No 24: Tile, 1928 (P.82.15)
Bernard Leach made brush-decorated tiles at intervals, some of which can be seen in situ on the grave of Alfred Wallis, the painter, in St Ives. This square tile is made of fireclay and covered with a white glaze onto which a chequered fritillary has been delicately brushed in cobalt and iron oxides. Although the blue colour is not an accurate match to the fritillary's mauve hue, the plant is instantly recognisable. The tile also bears Leach's monogram, brushed in blue.

Microlon Greases can be used where there are bearing metal surfaces but no combustion. Without the need for the cleaning complexes in the Microlon liquids, Microlon greases are typically applied directly to the bearing surfaces like fifth wheel lubrication, exposed gears, chain and sprockets. Microlon greases also have marine applications.
Microlon Assembly Lubricant is designed for use on all metal moving parts during the assembly process. Lightly coat all bearings, shafts, bushings, sleeves, piston rings, ring lands, pistons, cylinder bores, wrist pins, valve stems, valve guides, timing chains, gears, camshaft lobes, rocker arms, pushrod ends and anywhere metal-to metal contact occurs. Microlon Assembly Lubricant provides excellent rust and corrosion protection for long-term storage after assembly. It will not run off during storage and protects against dry-starts when the unit is returned to service. Because Microlon reduces friction in close fits, it will prevent many seizing and galling problems. The Microlon resin impregnates the surface where applied and forms the durable Microlon film. This film replaces metal-to-metal contact with Microlon-to-Microlon contact to reduce friction and to ease operation. After the permanent film forms, you can go back to using original lube specs or continue on with our great Microlon products.
