An alleged paedophile has been exposed over grave accusations of rape of a minor as well as a sexual attempt on his daughter which was abortive.
A 15-year-old girl, who is now in the family way, has accused her uncle, Femi Kolajolu, of raping her according to the Nation.
But, she claims not to know whether the pregnancy is its uncle's or its boyfriend's. The girl, a Junior Secondary School III pupil in a Lagos public school, alleged that her uncle has been sexually abusing her since 2013.
She said: "The first time the incident happened, I was sleeping with my boyfriend. My uncle entered my room; sent my boyfriend out and raped me. The second time, I was sleeping in my room with my younger sister. He opened the gate, covered my mouth and slept with me. Then, my mum was admitted in a hospital because she was ill."
She claimed that the last time he forcefully slept with her was early last year before she discovered that she was expecting a baby.
"Last June, I realised I had missed my period for the previous month but I didn't know what caused it. It was after my mum took me to the hospital we were told I was three-month pregnant. I don't know who is responsible; if it is my boyfriend or my uncle.
"I intend to sit for my Junior School Certificate Examination (JSCE) next month. Since my father died last year, my uncle took everything he gave us. My mum was left with nothing to cater for the six of us," she added.
Her mother, Mrs Yinka Kolajolu, said her daughter never told her what her uncle was doing to her, adding that she got to know after her husband's death.
Mrs Kolajolu said when her daughter told her what she had been going through, she discharged herself and moved out of the house with her children. The case was later reported to the Lagos State Domestic Violence and Sexual Response Team (DVSRT) for subsequent intervention.
Kolajolu's wife, Ndidi, said she wasn't surprised to hear what her husband did because he almost raped their first child last November.
She said she and their five children were asleep when he sneaked in, adding: "He came around 3am, removed our 14-year-old daughter's underwear and touched her breast. It was when my daughter screamed I woke up. We usually don't put off our light to sleep but at that moment, it was off. We all ran to the sitting room to see who came in. As our last child bent, she saw legs behind the curtain. When we removed the curtain, I saw my naked husband standing.
"My daughter cried to the extent of raining curses on her father. When I told him I was going to report to the police station, he said it won't take him five minutes to kill me. Last December, he said myself and the children shouldn't visit him again that he has another woman who has given him a son. Since last December, I am just seeing my husband today (yesterday). Even after he was summoned at the mediation centre, he didn't respond."
Kolajolu, a businessman, who has been detained at the Festac Police Station, denied raping the girl, adding that he does not know anything about the pregnancy.

Artist Randall Rosenthal has carved these stunning paper wooden sculptures that look like real stacks of old newspapers, magazines, comic books and other reading materials.
The use of wooden has been carefully carved into an ordinary stack of paper that appears real from a distance. Each piece is carved from Vermont white pine and carefully painted with acrylic paint to recreate the look and feel of weathered paper, newsprint, and crisp currency notes.
Its fine detailed textures have a strong resemblance of the parchment, creating a surreal tactile experience. With their life-like features, you can't tell if its real unless you actually touch it. This piece was inspired by impressive Rosenthal works from the artist's memory where his paper wooden sculptures make quite the impression.

Could the Fed be sending mortgage rates higher?
If you've been house-hunting, you might want to hurry up and get that loan application in.
The Federal Reserve, the nation's central bank, could be about to start bowing out of its unprecedented five-year effort to boost the economy by keeping interest rates low.
The first place such a move will be felt is in mortgage rates.
In fact, home loan rates have already climbed about a point since last spring when Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke first suggested the bank's rate-setting committee might act later in the year.
Now "later" has turned into next week, as the Fed is widely expected to announce the shift in policy when its Open Markets Committee meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The average cost of a 30-year fixed mortgage now sits at 4.72%, but some analysts are predicting it could climb past 5%, depending on how quickly the Fed bows out.
Those rates are still reasonable from a historical perspective. Borrowers typically paid 5% to 6% for 30-year mortgages during the early 2000s, 7% to 8% during the mid- to late '90s, and more than 10% throughout the '80s and early '90s.
Still, 5% would represent quite a jump from the rock-bottom rates of the last few years. In November 2012, the 30-year fixed rate was a record-low 3.31%. Just last May, it was only a little higher at 3.35%.
But here's the thing about those rates: They were so low, in large part, because the Fed was making an unprecedented effort to keep the U.S. economy afloat.
What the Fed was doing was buying up Treasury securities and mortgage-backed bonds – to the tune of nearly $3 trillion since the financial crisis hit in 2008. This essentially flooded the lending market with money, which kept interest rates down.
It was part of an overall effort to make credit cheap, encouraging businesses to invest and consumers to buy homes and other things until the economy started to regain its health.
This summer, Bernanke signaled the Fed feels the economic recovery is far enough along and unemployment, which fell to 7.3% in August, is declining enough that the central bank could soon begin scaling back its purchases of these bonds and securities.
Bernanke said the Fed sees unemployment falling to 7% next summer, at which point the purchases would end.
Mortgage rates then would be determined as they had been before the intervention, through a market where mortgages are bought and sold by investors.
Where would rates end up? No one can say for sure. It depends on housing demand, the strength of the economic recovery, the level of inflation and other factors.
But it's way too early to start fretting about next year's mortgage rates. There are better things to fret about directly ahead that could derail Bernanke's scenario.
First, the Fed's decision to scale back its purchases may be widely expected, but it's not certain. Bernanke has signaled strongly this is the direction it is leaning. But there is resistance within the Fed leadership.
Some members feel unemployment should fall further before the Fed changes direction. Although unemployment did drop another tenth of a percent in August, job growth remained anemic, possibly lending strength to that position.
Second, our divided and largely dysfunctional government is facing two different deadlines that could dampen or even derail the economic recovery, unless Democrats and Republican can find a way around their differences.
That uncertainty could cause the Fed to hesitate or even change plans.
Congress reaches the first deadline just 12 days after the Fed meeting. On Sept. 30, the government will run out of authority to spend money unless lawmakers pass something called a "continuing resolution" that allows it to keep functioning.
Without a resolution, the possibility of a government shutdown looms. If you feel like you've heard this before, you have. It's become a regular ritual on Capitol Hill.
But each time, it risks setting back the economy. This time, the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party wants to use the threat of a shutdown to "defund" Obamacare, essentially killing the health care law by starving it of operating money.
The president and Senate Democrats are never going to let that happen. The question is how far House Republicans feel they have to push the matter to keep their supporters happy.
Most political observers believe Republican leaders will hang on until the last minute to see if they can extract any concessions out of President Obama before giving in.
But the problem with this brinksmanship is there's always a chance a miscalculation could send things over the cliff. Shuttering the government, even briefly, would send a negative jolt into the economic recovery.
If we manage to avoid that cliff, another one looms directly ahead.
The U.S. government will reach its legal limit to borrow money in mid-October. If lawmakers don't agree to raise this "debt ceiling," the U.S. risks defaulting on some of its obligations.
Once again, we've been here before. Based on a similar showdown in 2011, an impasse is likely to rattle financial markets worldwide, unnerving business and industry and causing them to hold back on hiring or significant spending until they get a clearer picture of what's ahead.
It's just what a still-shaky economic recovery doesn't need.
Yet for now, Republican House Speaker John Boehner is saying any increase in the debt ceiling must be accompanied by more cuts in federal spending. President Obama says raising the ceiling is a separate issue – a matter of honoring past obligations – and vows not to negotiate.
In his comments this summer, Bernanke stressed the Fed could shift its plans based on changing economic circumstances. Over the next month and a half, we'll all get a much better idea of how those circumstances might change.
Mortgage rates are only one of many economic factors likely to be effected by what happens.
It all starts with next week's Fed meeting.

The best lack all conviction, while the worstAnd, I admit, loving my country as I do, I teeter towards despair. And so I turn to Jupiter blazing there outside my bedroom window, and the burgeoning tomato plants that have slowly filled my window sill these three damp months, and the daddy-long-legs spiders that have kept me company at my desk. And I think of the very last poem Yeats wrote, at exactly my age, 73, in 1938, the world teetering on the brink of a great and awful cataclysm.
Are full of passionate intensity.
How can I, that girl standing there,
My attention fix
On Roman or on Russian
Or on Spanish politics,
Yet here's a travelled man that knows
What he talks about,
And there's a politician
That has both read and thought,
And maybe what they say is true
Of war and war's alarms,
But O that I were young again
And held her in my arms.

Pof Rifles
What are POF rifles? POF, or more correctly POF-USA Patriot Ordinance Factory, is a company which manufactures and sells high quality AR15 family rifles and components. POF markets and sells products and rifles to the military, law enforcement, and civilian markets. Of course, different options and variations are available to different markets and end users.
POF rifles include:
- P308 – The P308 is a family of 7.62 x 51 MM caliber rifles. They are available in various barrel lengths and options, all with POF's special gas piston operating system. Barrel lengths are 14.5", 16.5", 20.5", and 20". This is really one of the ultimate larger caliber assault rifles available on the market.
- P308 Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) – This is the short barreled version of the P308 which falls into the classification of Personal Defense Weapon. The Personal Defense Weapon is designed to replace the full sized rifle for those persons and jobs with limited space yet require more firepower than the traditional pistol or revolver gives. The P308 PDW comes with all the advantages of the P308 with a short compact 12 " barrel, making it as short and compact as many submachine guns with the added advantage of a full powered rifle cartridge.
- PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) – This is a Personal Defense Weapon in 5.56 x 45MM caliber. This is the caliber normally used in the U.S. military's M16 and M4 rifles, along with other weapons. The PDW is designed for those users who need a rifle's capability, but have limited space. Since it fires a full power rifle cartridge, the PDW gives more firepower than the traditional pistol caliber sub-machine guns and handguns. This PDW comes with POF's special gas piston action along with a compact 9.25" barrel and various other special features the professional and civilian alike will appreciate. The PDW is built upon the P416 Military and Law enforcement only rifle platform.
- SBR (Short Barreled Rifle) – This is POF's slightly longer barreled 5.56 x 45MM rifle which bridges the gap between a very short PDW and a full sized rifle. This is handy when a longer barrel is wanted for better accuracy and range, yet space constraints still make a larger rifle too bulky. The SBR is built upon the P416 Military and Law enforcement only rifle platform.
- P415 – This is the version of POF's AR15 family of 5.56 x 45MM rifles which is available to the civilian market. It has features and options legal for the civilian to own, leaving out those options that are generally only allowed to the military or law enforcement, such as full auto capability or mutishot burst capability. The P415 comes in various configurations with different barrel lengths ranging from 14.5" to 18". Various barrel weights and types and other options are also available. Each rifle however comes with POF's special gas piston design.
- P416 – This is POF's family of AR15 rifles in 5.56 x 45MM rifles available only for Law Enforcement and military sales. These rifles come with all the same basic options as the P415 and are also available with features such as full automatic and burst capability.
There are the POF rifles. They are a high quality family of rifles based upon Eugene Stoner's AR15 design. They are available in both of the calibers the traditional AR15 was designed to work with, the 7.62 and 5.56 NATO calibers. POF rifles are not cheap, but are crafted from high quality components with the very latest in gas piston action designs. They are designed to be a rifle that can be relied upon in war, in the mean streets of the modern large urban city, and for use around the homestead.

Some folks eat with expensive silver spoons; some eat with spoons from Ikea or Canadian Tire. All of these spoons work just fine. For something out of the ordinary try a carved wooden spoon for eating your soup, cereal or chili. The spoon in the centre is made from apple which was dry. The two spoons flanking it were carved from green elm.
The middle spoon is 8 inches long (20 cm.) The other spoons are slightly shorter.

Freshers spend unforgettable week with friends they'll never remember
POTTEROW – Following a week of heavy drinking, partying, and socialising in EUSA venues across campus, Edinburgh University's 2013 Freshers recount that they had a "truly unforgettable week with… uh… yeah, I think it was James? No wait John…? No… Jack, Jack! Yeah, that was it, it was with Jack."
Fresh-faced first year Ben McAllister recalled that he had what he considered to be the "BEST WEEK EVER!!!!" with friends for life. He went on to share some endearing nicknames he's already come up with for many of his new long term relationships, such as "this one Australian girl I hooked up with in the Teviot Underground who's staying in self-catered halls" and "Cameron from the pub quiz." The 2013 Freshers stated that they all had plans to hang out like really, really soon and they were definitely going to hit each other up on Facebook. Upon ending their recapitulation of their Freshers' Week experience, they also added, "You know, now that we're really thinking about it, it may have actually been Tyler."

Thanks to Scott Holmes for sharing his experience with us.
Scott is quite right that the states in the sequence (1)
schock and disorientation, (2) anger and (3) depression
can occur in a different order. They can also repeat
themselves in different combinations. At both the personal
and cultural levels, the sequence, duration and quality of
response are all important variables. Has anyone noticed
in the people they work with a typical combination that
cannot be explained, as Scott has done in his own case, by
a sequence of events, but seems to be an indicator of
cultural patterning?

2012 NBA Preview: Eastern Conference Playoff Projections
I remember where I was when the Dark Lord finally took over. Most of us do. I was at a bar in Eastern Massachusetts, surrounded by hopeless, angry souls who had not seen happiness since 2008. The buzzer sounded. The people inside the TV were elated, but outside the eerie television glow, nothing. There the Dark Lord stood, his hands waiving above his head in jubilation at his long-coming victory. And that night, for the first time in his career, LeBron had his championship.
Whether you view him as the Dark Lord or the Prince of Light depends on where in the country you are, but nobody is denying LeBron James's talent. The Miami Heat have the highest championship odds of any single NBA team this season according to numberFire, coming in at 13.64%. But that championship is not guaranteed, and even in the Eastern Conference, the Dark Lord and his compatriots have plenty of challengers.
2012 NBA Eastern Conference Projections
#1: Miami Heat
Projected Record: 58.4-23.6
Playoff Odds: 97.43%
Championship Odds: 14.64%
Are you hanging out in a Cleveland office right now, hoping and praying that the Heat won't duplicate their 2011-2012 success? I wouldn't hold my breath. There's only a 2.57% chance that the Heat won't make the playoffs this season with their current roster. I guess if there's a bright side, it's that the Heat likely won't break Michael Jordan and the Bull-ettes' 72 win mark. numberFire projections only give that a 0.08% chance of happening.
#2: Chicago Bulls
Projected Record: 53.3-28.7
Playoff Odds: 92.16%
Championship Odds: 7.34%
Let me put this in bold letters, because it's the only way this particular projection makes sense: This is with Derrick Rose in the lineup. Simply put, we don't know what he's going to do. He could be back in March. He could have a full shootaround tomorrow. But for the sake of consistency, we're throwing him in there. With Rose, the Bulls are a championship contender. Without Rose... well, they're still a playoff team since the bottom of the East is terrible, but they wouldn't be up nearly this high.
#3: Atlanta Hawks
Projected Record: 52.2-29.8
Playoff Odds: 90.23%
Championship Odds: 6.54%
No Joe Johnson? No problem! The numberFire projections say the Hawks "reloaded" more than "retooled" this offseason, and this could potentially be the best Hawks team we've seen. Both Al Horford and Josh Smith have had Player Efficiency Ratings (PER) above 19 in each of the past three seasons; for comparison's sake, the league average is 15 and Pau Gasol only put up a 20.5 PER last season. With Johnson and his 24.9% usage rate gone, Horford specifically should become a bigger part of the offense than last year's 17.9% usage rate and lead to big payoffs for Hawks fans.
#4: New York Knicks
Projected Record: 51.1-30.9
Playoff Odds: 84.13%
Championship Odds: 6.18%
Will having Jason Kidd on the roster truly help the Knicks? numberFire is skeptical. Kidd's PER has gone down each of the past three seasons, from an above-average 17.2 in '09-10 to a weak 13.1 in '11-12. His turnover percentage has gone up each of those seasons as well while his assist percentage has gone down. If I'm a Knicks fan, I'm much more excited for Raymond Felton: his PER, turnover rate, and assist rate all outpace Kidd's 2011-2012 totals. Ultimately, having a fully healthy squad for once should help more than anything the team did in the offseason.
#5: Indiana Pacers
Projected Record: 49.3-32.7
Playoff Odds: 91.97%
Championship Odds: 6.92%
The Pacers always seem to be greater than the sum of their parts, but according to numberFire's projections, the sum of their parts is pretty good as well. Despite having a lower projected record, the Pacers actually have a better overall team rating than the Knicks. Their ceiling is much higher: they have the third best championship odds in the entire Eastern Conference (likely second with a non-healthy Derrick Rose). However, their projected record also reveals a darker side: this team's floor. Remember that this is not only a very similar team to last year's dream squad, but many of the same players were also around for '10-11's #8 Eastern Conference seed. This team could be either one.
#6: Boston Celtics
Projected Record: 47.4-34.6
Playoff Odds: 86.92%
Championship Odds: 4.90%
The Celtics are getting up there in years, but they still have the players to easily be able to capture a playoff spot. Newcomer Jason Terry may even be better than Big Three Member Ray Allen this season for the Celtics; his PER was an above-average 15.6 last season, while Allen's declined to a slightly below-average 14.8. However, the East is very top heavy, and the Celtics may be phased out. Their 4.9% championship odds are a substaintial amount lower than the top five teams, and those odds are only the tenth-best in the NBA.
#7: Philadelphia 76ers
Projected Record: 42.5-39.5
Playoff Odds: 74.12%
Championship Odds: 2.61%
There are distinct tiers in the Easter Conference. There is the top tier, comprised of the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls When Derrick Rose Is Healthy. In the next tier are the Hawks, Knicks, Pacers, and Celtics. They could all conceivably finish three through six in some order. The Sixers want to be in that tier. But they aren't there yet. Andrew Bynum had a breakout year last season for the Lakers, with a 22.9 PER and a career-high usage rate of 23.8% of Lakers plays. His usage rate may be even higher on Philadelphia, as he is the undisputed star of this team. The projections don't have an opinion on how he'll respond to that increased role, and that will determine whether the Sixers do make that next tier.
#8: Milwaukee Bucks
Projected Record: 42.4-39.6
Playoff Odds: 54.98%
Championship Odds: 0.91%
Brandon Jennings + bunches of castoffs = playoff team? Sure seems that way. I absolutely loved the Dalembert pickup as a Bogut replacement; he had a 16.9 PER and an 18.3% rebound percentage when on the floor for Houston last season. Monta Ellis struggled after coming to Milwaukee a bit, but if he can regain his Golden State form, he should be dangerous. Before coming to Milwaukee, his effective field goal percentage (that is, a FG% taking into account the difference in expected payoff between two-point and three-point shots) had not been below .460 since '05-06.
#9: Orlando Magic
Projected Record: 40.1-41.9
Playoff Odds: 54.98%
Championship Odds: 0.97%
Even with Superman leaving Disney World for Disneyland, the Magic still should be a playoff contender this season. Along with the usual cast of characters - especially Hedo Turkoglu and Jameer Nelson - bringing Al Harrington and Aaron Afflalo on board should keep this team afloat. Harrington had an above-average 15.3 PER last season and has been above the 15-mark in three of the past four years. Afflalo, meanwhile, had a career-high 14.6 PER last season while posting his highest usage rate ever at 19.1% of Nuggets plays.
#10: Toronto Raptors
Projected Record: 36.7-45.3
Playoff Odds: 26.42%
Championship Odds: 0.14%
And there goes the cliff. After trying, and failing, to bring in Steve Nash, the Raptors are left with a mediocre team. According the numberFire projections, they're not bad enough to slum with the dregs of the East, but they also don't have more than a one-quarter chance of making the playoffs this season. That's a tough place to be. The Lowry pickup was excellent; he posted a 18.9 PER last season with a career-high usage rate of 22%. However, without a star in the fold, it likely won't be enough to push this team over the edge.
#11: Brooklyn Nets
Projected Record: 33.1-48.9
Playoff Odds: 9.44%
Championship Odds: 0.04%
Who would be angrier that the Nets are down this low: Hova or Prokorov? The Nets have established their own, lite-sized version of the "Big Three", but the numberFire projections do not see them going anywhere despite the hype. Last year, Joe Johnson had his lowest assist percentage since 2005 and rebound percentage since 2007 to go along with his highest turnover percentage since 2009. Gerald Wallace was good, but not great, last season with a 15.9 PER. And we don't know what we're getting with a healthy Brook Lopez: his rebound and block percentages both dipped from '09-10 to '10-11.
#12: Washington Wizards
Projected Record: 33.1-48.9
Playoff Odds: 12.99%
Championship Odds: 0.02%
John Wall's something, but he won't be enough to push the Wizards much higher than a low lottery spot this season. Can we call it The Curse of Billy Ray Bates? Since the 1982-83 season when Bates joined the Bullets, the Washington franchise has only won a single playoff series, back in the '04-05 season. Wizards fans likely won't have to worry about that this season; they're still a bit away.
#13: Detroit Pistons
Projected Record: 29.6-54.2
Playoff Odds: 22.66%
Championship Odds: 0.12%
Want a very long shot playoff sleeper? Try the Pistons. Despite having the third-to-worst projected record in the entire NBA this season, the Pistons have better playoff odds than either the Nets or the Wizards. How does that happen, you may ask? Through the wonder of math... and an easy division. The Nets are projected to be the worst team in their division, and the Wizards have two of the top three in the Heat and Hawks to contend with. Meanwhile, only two teams in the Central are bonafide playoff contenders, and one of those teams has its key player starring in Adidas commercials about how he's not playing.
#14: Cleveland Cavaliers
Projected Record: 24.0-58.0
Playoff Odds: 2.19%
Championship Odds: 0.00%
Dan Gilbert personally guaranteed a championship before LeBron had his in Miami. Well, that failed. There's no worse fail than a fail that occurs in Comic Sans. And the comedy keeps continuing in Cleveland this summer, as the Flying Kyries are projected to have the second-worst record in the NBA. A healthy Varejao will help - he had his career-high PER in 25 games last year - but the rest of the team is still way too young. Both Luke Walton and Daniel Gibson put up incredibly poor single-digit PERs last year, and both are expected to be key contributors on this team.
#15: Charlotte Bobcats
Projected Record: 18.5-63.5
Playoff Odds: 0.17%
Championship Odds: 0.00%
There is a greater chance that either the Raptors or Pistons win the entire NBA title than there is of the Charlotte Bobcats simply making the playoffs. To make the playoffs, the Bobcats would just need to beat out the Magic, Bucks, and assorted other Eastern Conference teams. But nope, that's too hard. Lay down your Vegas bets of either the Pistons or Raptors beating out the Heat, Lakers, and Thunder first. I'm sorry for what Michael Jordan has done to you, Bobcats fans. I'm so, so sorry.

It is highly likely that this is some knock-off/non-FDA approved Adderall clone. The imprint you described appears on the 30mg Immediate-Release version made by original manufacturer, Shire... but it is orange in color, as are most of the (FDA approved) generics. The only "white" version would be a 5mg by Shire... not the 30mg. I have seen almost all versions of this 30mg in IR generic form, and I cannot recall seeing a white 30mg version. I know for a fact that
Shire (brand) 30mg = orange
Sandoz 30mg = orange
CorePharma 30mg = pink
Barr 30mg = orange
No generic versions will have the imprint AD on them, as that is the imprint of the Shire brand ones.
So, my most educated guess is that it is probably a mail-order knockoff that I would be very suspect about. I would not take a drug that is unidentifiable.
Will update if I find out any more info, but it sounds shady to me. I'd rather be safe than sorry -- btw, how do you know it's from Pakistan?
I got the same ones from my pharmacy that 30mg ir the big orange ones that say 30 on them but last month they gave me these small orange ones with a moon single and a 30 on them iv been reading about them and people say they don't work for them. I forgot the name but it starts with a e that's the kind there called and l find them not to work that well either why would my pharmacy switch after 7 years I'm very upset with my pharmacy?

Say Hello (again) to the eMac
In a surprise move, Apple Computer on Monday introduced the 17" CRT eMac designed specifically for the education market. The 17" G4 eMac, which sports an enclosure similar to the original iMac, starts at $999 and will be available in the education market beginning in May.
In other Apple announcements, the company released an updated Titanium PowerBook sporting a new digital display and the availability of a converter to connect the new PowerBook to Appleis line of ADC-based Cinema Displays.
AAPL moved higher on the announcements and finished the day at $23.96, up $.95.
The Broader Markets
The markets opened on Monday with major market indexes at or below their levels when 2002 trading began. The past several weeks have challenged traders seeking decent market returns and tested the patience of even long-term investors. The NASDAQ Composite Index began Monday trading roughly 275 points below its January 2, 2002 close, a drop of about 15 percent in four months of trading. The S and P 500 index was down almost 7 percent through Friday from the first trading day in January and the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed just over 160 points below its earliest January close.
In early Monday trading the markets continued to react to last weekis preliminary economic growth estimates for the first quarter of 2002 that indicate the economy expanded at a 5.8 percent rate. However, there is more and less to the numbers than the sizzling rate of growth might imply.
By the afternoon the markets had drfited back and forth between positive and negative territory. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed the day at 9,819.87, down 90.85. The S and P 500 Index ended Monday at 1,065.18, down 10.88 and the NASDAQ Composite Index stood at 1,656.93, down 6.96 when trading stopped.
High Inventories, Low Guidance
The 5.8 percent growth rate for the first calendar quarter represented a significant build up in inventories. Consumers continue to carry the economy and businesses have continued to spend at slow, recession-era rates. Unless businesses begin to increase spending, the rate of economic growth will slow from the first quarteris torrid pace as businesses work off inventories.
The first quarteris earnings season produced guidance for the second and third calendar quarters can be described as ambiguous at best. Corporate executives are loath to release upbeat expectations from fear of disappointing investors. Wall Street analysts, whose job it is to advise investors, will be rolling up their sleeves to develop performance models for the companies they cover rather than relying on guidance of management. Forecasting significant growth in corporate revenues and earnings has become a no manis land, fraught with peril where optimists tread alone.
The comparatively better performance of the Dow since January 1, 2002 indicates that investors have fled to blue chip stocks and old-fashioned cyclical stocks as a sanctuary for dollars while real growth works its way through the economy.
The Battle For A Bull Run
All this seemingly bearish news leads to only one conclusion: We are at the beginning stages of a major bull market run. Bull markets traditionally climb a wall of worry. The battle for a bull run has begun. In this contest the ammunition is information. As more concrete information concerning corporate revenues and increased business spending hits the news, stock prices will begin to move markedly higher from their current levels.
What About Apple?
Appleis primary markets - consumers, education, content creators and designers - will most likely be in the market for mew computer hardware before major increases in corporate IT spending are announced. Apple should grow more in line with the broader market than many of its competitors who have substantial exposure in the corporate market.
Thereis one more issue to consider. At the end of the March quarter, Apple had virtually zero channel inventories of the new iMacs. Ordinarily Apple carries four to five weeks of channel inventory on its products. At the end of this quarter Apple may benefit from additional shipments of the new iMac to fill normal channel inventory levels. This may increase Appleis revenues for the quarter $75 to $100 million. Provided shipments of the new iMac remain on track, I expect Apple to handily meet its revenues and earnings guidance for the quarter.
In Monday trading:
Apple (AAPL) closed at $23.96, up $.95.
DELL (DELL), the PC market leader, lost almost 3.5 percent on Friday. In todayis trading Dell finished up at $25.57, down $.31.
IBM (IBM) is making a major Linux push. With the first calendar quarteris disappointments behind it, Big Blue should bounce off its 52-week low and begin to move higher, helping the Dow reenter positive territory for the year. IBM was at $83.89, down $.82 when the closing bell rang.
Red Hat (RHAT), marketer of the popular Red Hat Linux product, ended Mondayis trading at $4.60, down $.02. Red Hat currently has a 52-week range of $2.40 - $9.50 per share.

Switzerland's Bencic wins Wimbledon junior title
July 6, 2013
LONDON (AP) — Belinda Bencic of Switzerland beat Taylor Townsend of the United States 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 Saturday to win the Wimbledon girls' championship.
It's the second consecutive junior Grand Slam title for the 16-year-old Bencic, following the French Open last month.
The top-seeded Bencic also defeated the 17-year-old Townsend in Paris and at a grass-court Wimbledon warm-up tournament at Roehampton, England. Townsend won the 2012 Australian Open girls' title.
"Everything is difficult when you play her. It's really tough to play against her every time," Bencic said.
Bencic is coached by her father and Melanie Molitor, who is the mother of five-time major champion Martina Hingis.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or the CDC, lists proper handwashing, respiratory hygiene and cough formalities as important points for preventing the spread of disease in the guidelines for infection control. Additionally, the use of personal protective equipment, such as gloves, facemasks and gowns are advised to reduce exposure to infectious materials.
Guidelines are issued by the CDC to teach both citizens and health care workers standard practices to use in an effort to reduce the transmission of infectious disease. Proper hand hygiene and handwashing are important to disinfect hands and minimize the spread of infection. In particular, it is important to wash hands thoroughly for 15 seconds with soap and water, ensuring that all surfaces are washed. After using the toilet, handwashing is essential to make sure that the hands are free of germs from bodily fluids. Use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers can provide additional protection.
Isolating and properly caring for those with respiratory infections in a health care facility is another important measure outlined in the CDC guidelines. Patients who have or are suspected of having a respiratory illness should wear a facemask and cough or sneeze into a tissue. Proper disposal of used tissues and facemasks further promotes infection control. During flu season, this becomes even more important to minimize the spread of the disease.

All in the family: stepfamily's seldom easy
Making It Work
Creating family time, Carol believes, has helped all the children grow closer. "We have rituals, like family movie night and game night," she says. "And we've created new traditions, like taking family vacations and picking out a gigantic Christmas tree every year." (For other tips, see "Steps to Success.")
Developing closeness takes time, Einstein agrees–a lot more time than people may realize. But she urges teens to talk about their feelings and their expectations. If you treat a new stepparent the way you'd like to be treated, the relationship is more likely to get off to a good start.
Einstein also encourages teens to ask questions. When two families come together, there will be misunderstandings. Some people think nothing of walking into a sibling's room and borrowing a shirt. Others expect a knock on the door and want to be asked before someone uses their stuff. "You'll be better able to deal with the new situation if you understand the rules and expectations up front," Einstein says. "This means talking about them until they are clear."
Like any relationship, stepfamilies can have ups and downs. A key to making things work is communication; don't be afraid to share your feelings. And realize one benefit of being part of a stepfamily: Now there are more people in the world who care about you.
!Think About It …
What are some suggestions in the article that you can use, even if you aren't part of a stepfamily?
Benefits of Blended Families
We asked teens what they liked best about being part of a stepfamily.
Paige R. (13): "We have new adventures with my stepdad, Wally. He even taught me how to playsoftball."
Mark * (15): "There's more people to hang out with and be friendly with–or to talk to when I'm feeling down."
Sophia * (16): "With five kids in the house, you can always find someone who wants to do what you want to do– there's also more people you can pawn someone off on if you want to be left alone!"
* Names have been changed
Steps to Success
Got a new parent, and maybe new siblings? The best way to develop any new relationship is to get to know a person better over time. Here are some helpful techniques you can try out in your new family.
Take time to talk. Set aside a special time, such as after dinner, when family members share their favorite things–foods, movies, and music, suggests Elizabeth Einstein from the National Stepfamily Resource Center. "With everybody in your first fatuity, you know all that, you've grown up with it," she explains. "In a situation with brand-new people, you don't know anything about them."
Get a visual. Create a family scrapbook or photo album. If there's a wedding, including pictures from it–and before–is a good place to stair, Einstein recommends. As the years pass, you can add to your new family history.
Pass the peas, please. Plan at least one meal per week when every-one in the family can sit at the table together, urges Emily Bouchard, a family therapist and founder of the Web site Blended-Families.com. "That's a good time to play a game I call high/low," she says, "where everyone talks about the best thing that happened to them that week and the worst."
Express yourself. Both Einstein and Bouchard recommend creating an "issues" box or jar. If some thing's bothering you, write it down on a piece of paper and slip it into the jar. After dinner, one slip of paper is pulled out of the jar and the issue is discussed. Everyone in the family then works to, ether to discover the best way to deal with the problem.
Key Points
1. There are many types of families, and one type is the stepfamily, or blended family.
2. It's normal for teens in step-families to have feelings such as anger, sadness, or confusion.
3. Developing a sense of family closeness takes time.
4. Families can grow closer by spending time together doing fun activities, eating meals, creating photo albums, and talking.
Critical Thinking
What are some suggestions in the article that you can use, even if you aren't part of a stepfamily?
Extension Activity
Divide the class into small groups. Then, using some of the problems and solutions cited in the article, as well as others the students brainstorm together, have them write skits depicting the conflicts that stepfamilies often face.
Students can then act out the skits and learn from one another.

In their Introduction to a recent collection of essays on the subject of later Greek poetry Katerina Carvounis and Richard Hunter observe that 'Silver Latin' is currently experiencing a 'golden age' (Ramus 37 [2008] p. 2). Signs of life are everywhere. Texts, commentaries and excellent monographs concerned with post-Augustan literature appear with heartening regularity. In addition to Seneca and Lucan, Statius has been a particular beneficiary of this revival of interest. Not far behind him come Valerius Flaccus and Silius Italicus.
But if this revival of interest is to extend beyond practising Latinists, we need more translations. As usual, Statius has been well served. In addition to the new Loeb volumes edited and translated by D. R. Shackleton Bailey, we have verse translations of Thebaid by A. D. Melville (shamefully allowed to go out of print by Oxford University Press), by Stanley Ross (Johns Hopkins University Press) and, best of all, by Jane Wilson Joyce (Cornell University Press). And Betty Rose Nagle has translated the Silvae (Indiana University Press). For Valerius Flaccus we have had only Mozley's dated prose translation in the Loeb series and a verse translation by David R. Slavitt (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1999). For Silius Italicus we have only Duff's prose: a good verse translation of Silius is sorely needed.
Into this field now comes a new verse translation of Valerius Flaccus by Michael Barich. Barich's aim is to offer 'an accurate and appealing version in English verse'. To achieve this goal he has chosen 'a fairly strict version of blank verse', arguing that 'the iambic rhythm suits extended English narrative well, and the relatively short line of the pentameter favors a rapid narrative movement' (p. 9). The translation is not line for line, but Barich supplies the original line numbers, a feature that is useful for students.
How then does Barich's version compare with that of his only rivals in English, Mozley and Slavitt? Let's start with the address to the emperor in Book 1:
Mozley offers this:
And thou too, that didst win still greater glory for opening up the sea, after the Caledonian ocean had borne thy sails, the ocean that of yore would not brook the Phrygian Iuli, do thou, holy sire, raise me above the nations and the cloud-wrapped earth, and be favourable unto me as I hymn the wondrous deeds of old time heroes. Thy son shall tell of the overthrow of Idume - for well he can - of his brother foul with the dust of Solyma, as he hurls the brands and spreads havoc in every tower. In this honour he shall ordain sacred rites and shall raise temples to thy house ...
This was first published in 1933. Even then words like 'thou', 'thy', 'unto' and 'didst' were archaic. The use of such language might be justified in this particular context on the grounds that this is a prayer, but Mozley regularly uses 'thou', 'thy' and so on.
Let's look at Slavitt:
This version has the merit of using contemporary language. And Slavitt's introduction of the names of Vespasian, Domitian and Titus is obviously a gesture towards clarity. On the other hand, Valerius chose not to follow the precedents set by Virgil, Ovid and Lucan, chose not to use the ruling emperor's name, leaving it to the reader to infer the identity of the addressee and (in this case) his sons. Perhaps that choice should be respected. But other elements are more troubling. Vespasian is not addressed as 'pioneer' and the poet does not say that he claimed the seas 'as ours'. More disturbing is the omission of the reference to Caesar's crossings of the English Channel, implicit in the words Phrygios prius indignatus Iulos. Note too that in the reference to the establishment of a temple the tense has been changed. Valerius makes a prediction (instituet), while Slavitt gives us an accomplished fact ('he has erected'). And there is of course no basis for the words 'they both honour your line' and 'does you credit'. A Latinless reader trying to appreciate the nuances of this address to Vespasian will make no progress here.
But unfortunately, this is characteristic of Slavitt's version. He makes what seem to be careless mistakes (the maris ... Hiberi 2.24 is not the Irish Sea) or, worse, he inserts his own comments on the narrative. Thus in the catalogue of Argonauts there is a character called Polyphemus (1.457). Lest the reader confuse this sailor with the familiar enemy of Odysseus, Slavitt inserts the following: 'No, / this isn't the famous Cyclops; this is the other, the son / of Eilatus, king of somewhere or other. The names that once / had meaning are wearing away to bare phonemes. Time's / passage is stupefying, and epics, if they delay, / cannot prevent forever the ruin they ought to defy.) / We're nearly done.' Clearly this translator is getting bored.
What then of Barich's version?
Perhaps the first thing to note is that Barich's version takes substantially more lines than does Valerius or Slavitt. His choice of iambic pentameter will explain the overrun. On the other hand, Barich's accuracy is striking. The names of members of the Flavian dynasty are not inserted into the text and the reference to the Julian family is there. The establishment of a shrine and cult is correctly located in the future, not the past. And of course Barich avoids Mozley's archaisms. Just as importantly, the passage reads well. Valerius' syntax is complex here and that complexity is matched in Barich's version.
Let's consider a very different kind of passage, Medea's opening soliloquy in Book 7.9-20:
Here is Mozley's version:
What mishap, what wilful deluding error holds me so I lie ever sleepless? Not such for sure were my nights ere I had seen thy countenance, gallant youth. What madness makes me recall it again and yet again, though oceans lie between us? Why are my thoughts upon the stranger only? Nay, let him rather even now receive his kinsman's Phrixus' fleece, his only quest and sole cause of his toil. For when will he see this abode again? Or when will my father visit Haemonia's cities?
As before, Mozley's besetting sin is archaism. Words like 'thy' and 'nay' would have been out of place in a 1930s verse translation, let alone a prose crib.
Here is Slavitt's version:
The first thing to note here is that the tone is wrong. A word like 'stupid' (= stultus) has no place in a translation of an epic poem like that of Valerius (or Virgil or Lucan). Moreover, Medea's mood is reflective more than self-admonishing. The speech consists mainly of questions and attempts to answer or dismiss them. There are also the usual Slavitt additions: 'I used to be able to sleep like a normal person' is not only banal but absent from Valerius. Note too that in the last line 'we' is wrong: 'we' is not a translation of meus ... pater. And the error is important because Medea is thinking not of the possibility of a nice Thessalian visit, but of the possibility of her father negotiating a marriage.
Here is Barich:
The difference in tone between Barich's version and Slavitt's is striking. There are no exclamations here. Rather we have quiet questions and considered answers. (The other obvious difference [Haemonia's/Aeson's] presumably results from the translators' use of different texts. Barich bases his version on Ehlers's Teubner edition; Slavitt does not say which edition he has used.)
In writing this review I have concentrated on the differences between the various modern versions of Valerius' poem. But this is to underplay the strengths of Barich's translation. It has greater virtues than not being Mozley or Slavitt. Barich not only conveys the tone and sense of Valerius' poem better than his predecessors, but he can actually write verse.
In some ways it is unfortunate that Barich's version was published by a small independent press. But publication of a translation of Valerius Flaccus by a press that regularly publishes contemporary poetry is remarkable. This is clearly a press which has confidence in the Latin poet and his translator. I think that that confidence is justified.

If you've been thinking about losing cellulite on your stomach, you're not alone. It's estimated that 8 out of 10 women have cellulite and dimpled skin. And like all things, it seems to get worse with age. It's unsightly, probably dictates the type of clothes you wear, and is just downright embarrassing. But is losing cellulite possible without undergoing a surgical procedure? Well, there's no "cure" for cellulite but it is possible to reduce its appearance with best anti cellulite cream, and in some cases, dramatically! Let's take a look.
Boost your lymphatic system
When your lymphatic system is sluggish it retains toxins, which are stored in fat and can show up as cellulite. Wash them away! Drink plenty of fluids, watch the carbs and eat lean proteins and healthy fats.
Detoxify your liver
When your liver gets overloaded, it does not metabolize fat properly. Eat foods that support your liver, such as cranberries, or drink 100% cranberry juice. Also, choose cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, eat eggs, drink lemon juice added to hot water and get rid of things that stress your liver and lower your metabolism, including trans fats.
Lose weight and exercise
Yup, if you're serious about losing cellulite on your stomach, you're going to have to get in shape. Get on a weight loss program with a healthy diet, and exercise regularly. By strengthening your abdominal muscles and losing weight, you'll improve your belly's appearance. One exercise you might try is the Bicycle Maneuver. Lay flat on the floor and press your lower back to the ground. Put your hands by your head and move your knees to a 45- degree angle, then slowly make a bicycle pedal motion. Meanwhile, touch your right elbow to your left knee. Then touch your left elbow to your right knee. Start with two to three sets of 10 repetitions. This works great, and is low impact.
Yes, losing cellulite on your stomach is possible!
Eat the proper foods, drink plenty of liquids, and get proper exercise. You don't have to go to the gym; you can exercise in your own living room!

The heat's on when you're expecting, thanks to a metabolism boost. So when dressing for exercise success at 15 weeks pregnant, play it cool. Wear loose, breathable, stretchable clothes, right down to your undies (which should be cotton). Choose a bra — perhaps a sports bra — that provides plenty of support for your larger-than-life breasts but that doesn't pinch once you get moving. If your sneakers are showing their age, replace them now to minimize your chances of injury or falls (while you're at it, make sure you're wearing the right sneakers for your sport). Wearing clothes that look good will make you feel good too.See more tips for keeping fit while pregnant.
