Beltran's Sac Fly Ends Duel With Astros In Ninth
When two of the top three home run hitting teams in baseball meet at Yankee Stadium with its inviting short right-field porch it only stands to reason that the game will be . . . a pitchers' duel!
Both the Yankees and Astros went against type but it was the Yankees who managed to win the game on Monday with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth.
Carlos Beltran scored Brett Gardner with the only run of the game with no outs in the ninth as New York edged Houston to reclaim a share of first place in the American League East in front of a paid crowd of 37,125 in the Bronx, NY.
Yankees right-hander Nathan Eovaldi and Astros right-hander Scott Feldman matched each other pitch for pitch for eight innings until Astros manager A.J. Hinch elected to use left-hander and former New York Mets headcase Oliver Perez to pitch the ninth.
Gardner was able to work a leadoff walk and, after Perez uncorked a wild pitch to allow Gardner to reach second, the Astros decided to walk Alex Rodriguez intentionally so Perez could face left-handed hitting Brian McCann.
But Perez ended up also walking McCann to load the bases and Hinch called upon right-hander Chad Qualls to pitch to the switch-hitting Beltran.
Beltran jumped on the first pitch and he lofted the ball into deep center-field to score Gardner easily with the game-winning run.
Left-hander Andrew Miller (2-2) struck out two batters in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the victory in relief. Perez (2-2) was saddled with the loss.
Eovaldi, who entered the game undefeated in his past 11 starts and winner of eight straight decisions, held the Astros to just four hits and three walks and he struck seven in eight innings.
He also managed to kept the Astros 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position. He was at his best in the seventh inning after Carlos Correa singled to open the frame and Colby Rasmus drew a walk.
Carlos Gomez laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance both runners but Eovaldi got out of the jam on a fielder's choice off the bat off Evan Gattis that retired Rasmus roaming too far off second and Luis Valbuena flied out to center.
Feldman, 32, held the Yankees to six hits and he struck out six without issuing a walk in eight innings.
The Yankees had an excellent opportunity to score in the second when Didi Gregorius and Stephen Drew opened the inning with singles. But Feldman retired Drew on a fielder's choice off the bat of Jacoby Ellsbury, Gardner struck out swinging and Rodriguez flied out.
The Yankees also had a chance to score with McCann on third and Beltran on first with no outs in the seventh. However, Greg Bird struck out swinging and Chase Headley hit a fly ball to medium center and Gomez was able to throw out the slow-footed McCann at home plate on a three-hop heave for an inning-ending double play.
With the victory the Yankees improved their season record to 69-55 and they jumped into a tie with the Toronto Blue Jays for the top spot in the division. The first-place Astros dropped to 69-57.
- Eovaldi has come a long way in his development as a starter this season. In his past 12 starts, he is 8-0 with a 2.93 ERA. He used his slider to compliment his 100-mile-per-hour fastball, splitter and curveball to keep the Astros guessing all night. The Yankees very quietly are developing a strong, young rotation in 26-year-old Masahiro Tanaka, 26-year-old Michael Pineda (who will be activated form the disabled list on Wednesday), 25-year-old Eovaldi, 27-year-old Ivan Nova and 21-year-old Luis Severino.
- McCann was 3-for-3 with a walk in the game and he is now 5-for-11 (.455) with his new forward-leaning stance. In addition, McCann also managed to throw out pinch-runner Jake Marisnick attempting to steal on a strike out of Valbuena in the ninth inning. McCann has now caught 22 of 55 base-runners stealing this season, which puts him at a career-best 40 percent. McCann credits bullpen coach Gary Tuck. "We work every single day on it," McCann told reporters. "I've gotten better as the season's gone on. It's good to put the ball on the bag there."
- Beltran's night began with him striking out looking in the second and bouncing into a double play in the fourth. But he singled to advance McCann to third before McCann was thrown out to end the seventh. But his at-bat in the ninth was classic Beltran. Though Qualls is noted as a ground-ball pitcher, he was able to get under his first offering and hit it deep enough to get Gardner home with the winning run.
- Rodriguez was placed back into the lineup after two days off but he ended up 0-for-3 with a walk. He struck out in the sixth on a pitch that was about two feet outside and it nearly hit the dirt. Since Aug. 7, Rodriguez is 7-for-57 (.123) with two homers and six RBIs. That has dropped his season average from .281 to .259. As long as he slumps he is killing the Yankees offense.
- Gardner and Ellsbury combined to go 0-for-7 with two strikeouts. If you add Rodriguez batting third they were a combined 0-for-10, which makes you wonder how Perez was able to walk Gardner and Rodriguez to begin the inning. The Yankees need their top three hitters to HIT! If they don't, the team loses to last-place teams like the Cleveland Indians and surrenders first place in the A.L. East. It's that simple.
The Yankees will not say it but I will: CC Sabathia has thrown his last pitch of the 2015 season and his career in real jeopardy. Sabathia, 35, was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Monday with inflammation in his right knee. Sabathia left Sunday's game against the Indians with two out in the third inning due to pain in the knee, which was drained twice this season and received a cortisone shot last week. After making only eight starts last season, Sabathia underwent debridement surgery on the knee and was told that he would have to follow strict procedures to limit recurring pain. Sabathia, who is 4-9 with a 5.27 ERA in 24 starts this season, will see a specialist on Tuesday. But Yankees manager Joe Girardi told reporters, "Is it possible that he doesn't pitch the rest of the year? It's a possibility." To replace Sabathia on the roster the Yankees announced that left-hander Chris Capuano had elected free agency and then signed a new Major-League contract with the team of the rest of the season. . . . Mark Teixeira, who has been nursing a deep bone bruise on his right leg, said on Tuesday that he was available to pinch-hit in Monday's game. He was not used and Teixeira has now missed the team's past six games with the injury. Girardi told reporters that he is hopeful Teixeira will be able to start Tuesday's game.
The Yankees will continue their three-game home series with the Astros on Tuesday.
Nova (5-5, 3.72 ERA) will pitch for the Yankees. Nova is coming off a loss against the Indians on Thursday in which he was tagged for three runs on six hits and two walks while he struck four in five innings.
The Astros will start left-hander Dallas Keuchel (14-6, 2.37 ERA). Keuchel did not get a decision while giving up two runs on seven hits and one walk with five strikeouts in seven innings against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday.
Game-time will be 7:05 p.m. EDT and the game will be broadcast nationally by the MLB Network and locally by the YES Network.
Two Houston Natives Help Yankees Edge Astros
Sometimes it takes a couple of Lone Star State boys to take care of some Texas-sized problems. On Friday both right-hander Nathan Eovaldi and outfielder Chris Young did just that for the Yankees at Minute Maid Park.
Houston-born Eovaldi threw six innings of two-run baseball and Houston-born Young's three-run home run with one out in the seventh gave New York a hard-fought comeback victory over the Astros in front of a paid crowd of 37,748.
Though Eovaldi (7-2) pitched well, the Astros were still able to touch him for single runs in the third and sixth innings.
Hank Conger laced a one-out double to left-center in the third inning and one out later Carlos Correa scored him on a single to center.
The Astros added a run in the sixth on a one-out infield single by Jose Altuve and a stolen base, which set up a two-out bloop RBI single to center by Evan Gattis.
Meanwhile, right-hander Vincent Velasquez held the Yankees scoreless for six innings on just three hits and one walk with two strikeouts.
But the Yankees got a one-out opposite-field single from Carlos Beltran in the seventh and Garrett Jones followed with a bloop single to right.
Astros manager A.J. Hinch replaced Velasquez with right-hander Will Harris, who entered the game with a 0.78 ERA.
Young, who attended nearby Bellaire High School and entered the at-bat 41-for-103 (.398) with eight home runs at Minute Maid Park in his career, blasted a 1-1 fastball well into the left-field bleachers to give the Yankees their first lead in the four-game series.
Left-handers Chasen Shreve and Justin Wilson and right-hander Dellin Betances held the Astros hitless the rest of the way to preserve the victory for Eovaldi, who attended nearby Alvin High School just as Hall of Fame right-hander Nolan Ryan did.
In fact, Ryan (who was in attendance at the game) and Eovaldi are the only two products of that high school to play Major League Baseball.
Betances threw 1 1/3 innings of scoreless baseball to earn his fifth save six chances this season.
Velasquez was charged with two runs on five hits in 6 1/3 innings but Harris (4-1) was charged with the loss.
Eovaldi held the Astros to five hits and two walks while he struck six to record his second consecutive quality start.
With the victory the Yankees improved they season record to 40-34 and they climbed to with a half game of the first-place Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East. The Astros dropped to 43-33.
- Young added a single the eighth inning to end his evening 3-for-4 with two singles, a homer, a run scored and three RBIs. He now is 43-for-105 (.410) at Minute Maid Park. He also extended his hitting streak to nine games. In that span, Young is 17-for-34 (.500) with two homers and eight RBIs. Though Young's role is primarily to hit against left-handers, injuries to outfielders Jacoby Ellsbury and Mason Williams have forced the Yankees to use him in an everyday role and Young is responding.
- Eovaldi surpassed his career high in victories with the decision and in his past two outings he has yielded four runs on eight hits and three walks with 10 strikeouts in 12 innings. That has lowered his season ERA to 4.81. It also has saved his job because right-hander Adam Warren has been shifted back to the bullpen.
- Betances came in the eighth with two out and pinch-runner Marwin Gonzalez on first after Wilson walked Luis Valbuena. Though Gonzalez stole second, Betances fanned Gattis to end the threat and then pitched a perfect ninth to earn his fifth save in place of injured left-hander Andrew Miller. Betances is 4-1 with a 1.21 ERA and has 61 strikeouts in just 37 1/3 innings.
- The rookie right-hander Velasquez had never made it past the fifth inning in any of his three previous starts. But once again the Yankees were unable to solve a pitcher they had not faced before and made him look better than he really was. The Yankees could not lay off his fastball up and out of the strike zone and subsequently they popped up and flied out 11 times in the first six innings.
- Mark Teixeira and Brian McCann combined to go 0-for-8 in the game. With Alex Rodriguez out the lineup resting, the two just could do nothing right at the plate. Among Teixeira's outs was a strikeout and a crucial double play he hit into with Brett Gardner at first in the sixth inning. The twin-killing came on a 3-1 pitch.
The Yankees will continue their four-game road series with the Astros on Saturday.
Right-hander Masahiro Tanaka (4-3, 3.17 ERA) will start for the Yankees. Tanaka is coming off his worst outing of the season last Saturday when he gave up seven runs (five earned) on 10 hits in five innings against the Detroit Tigers. Tanaka has never faced the Astros.
The Astros will send out left-hander Brett Oberholtzer (2-1, 2.81 ERA). Oberholtzer had a no-decision on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. He yielded two runs on four hits and four walks in 5 2/3 innings. Oberholtzer is 0-2 with a 4.96 ERA against the Yankees.
Game-time will be 4:10 p.m. EDT and the game will be broadcast nationally by the MLB Network and locally by the YES Network.
Almonte, Cano Go Deep As Yankees Chop Braves
LAKE BUENA VISTA, FL – Zoilo Almonte smacked a two-run opposite field home run in the third inning and Robinson Cano added a solo opposite-field shot in the fifth inning as New York opened its 2013 Grapefruit League schedule on Saturday with a victory over Atlanta at Champion Field.
David Phelps (1-0) threw two scoreless innings to pick up the victory. Jordan Walden (0-1) took the loss.
Almonte's home run touched off a four-run inning aided by two Braves errors, a wild pitch and a passed ball. The Braves did narrow the score to 5-3 in the sixth inning on a two-run homer by Evan Gattis, however, the Yankees put the game away in the seventh with a three-run rally keyed by a bases-loaded two-out, two-run single by Austin Romine.
The Yankees are 1-0 while the Braves fell to 0-2.
- Almonte, 23, made an immediate first impression on manager Joe Girardi with his big home run in the third inning. The switch-hitting outfielder hit 21 home runs last season with Double-A Trenton. Almonte also showed off a terrific arm by throwing out Reed Johnson at third base after he fielded a Freddie Freeman single in the first inning.
- Francisco Cervelli, 27, flashed some superior glove work behind the plate by blocking several pitches in the dirt and he helped out Phelps by throwing out Todd Cunningham attempting to steal second base with a perfect peg to Cano in the second inning. Cervelli is battling Chris Stewart and Austin Romine for the starting catching job this spring.
- Though Phelps, 26, gave up three hits in his two innings of work and he was aided by the throws from Almonte and Cervelli, he still did look sharp. He threw 18 strikes out of his 24 pitches. He also threw first-pitch strikes to seven of the eight batters he faced. Phelps is competing with Ivan Nova for the No. 5 starting spot.
- Brett Marshall struggled a bit in his second inning of work. He walked Dan Uggla, surrendered a double to Gattis and Uggla scored on a groundout off the bat of Chris Johnson. Marshall, 22, was 13-7 with a 3.52 ERA at Trenton last season and was the organization's best minor-league starter. But the right-hander still needs to work on his command.
- Mikey O'Brien gave up a leadoff single to Freeman and then a one-out homer to Gattis. O'Brien, who will turn 23 on March 3, was a combined 9-8 with a 3.87 ERA between High-A Tampa and Trenton. He also needs a bit of work on command.
- Corban Joseph committed a fielding error in the third inning on a hard-hit ball off the bat of Christian Bethancourt. But Marshall was able to get out of the inning without giving up a run. Joseph, 24, is primarily a second baseman but he also is being tried out at third this spring.
Derek Jeter ran on the infield dirt at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, FL, for the first time since breaking his left ankle last October. "He ran the bases a bit, slowly," Girardi said. "He's at least outside, doing some running, so that's good." Jeter has said that he expects to ready to play on Opening Day on April 1 against the Boston Red Sox. In the meantime, Nunez will play shortstop most of the spring and Jeter will be eased into the lineup as a designated hitter.
The Yankees will open their 2013 home Grapefruit League schedule with a contest against a Toronto Blue Jays split squad.
Right-hander Adam Warren, 26, will start for the Yankees. He was 7-8 with a 3.71 ERA in 26 starts with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last season. The Jays will start veteran left-hander J.A. Happ.
New acquisitions third baseman Kevin Youkilis and designated hitter Travis Hafner are scheduled to make their debuts with the team.
Game-time will be 1:05 p.m. EST and the game will be broadcast locally by the YES Network and nationally by the MLB Network.

How Can I Become a Physical Therapy Aide?
Research what it takes to become a physical therapy aide. Learn about training requirements, job duties, employment projections and salary to find out if this is the career for you.
What Is a Physical Therapy Aide?
Physical therapy aides work in conjunction with physical therapists and physical therapy assistants to provide physical therapy to individuals affected by illness, injury or disability who need assistance with gross motor skills development. Physical therapy aides may help patients move to and from the treatment area. They will also clean the treatment area and set up the required equipment, wash linens and ensure all required supplies are available for the treatment session. Physical therapy aides may also answer phones and schedule appointments.
|Education Required
|High school diploma
|Training Required
|Training completed on the job
|Key Responsibilities
|Clean work areas, file patient records, assist patients with exercises
|Job Growth (2018-2028)
|Median Salary (2018)
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
What Would I Do as a Physical Therapy Aide?
The physical therapy field employs three levels of workers, they include therapists, assistants and aides. As a physical therapy aide, you would help the therapists and assistants perform therapeutic tasks for patients. Your tasks could include dressing patients, stabilizing patients during exercises, transporting patients, cleaning work areas and filing records. You need to be physically able to assist with therapeutic exercises, sometimes lifting a patient or supporting a patient's weight with your own body. A genial and friendly attitude is also important for your physical therapy work because recovery is often aided by positive mental and emotional stimulation.
What Education Do I Need?
Though physical therapy assistants need to complete at least an associate's degree program, physical therapy aides typically begin work after earning a high school diploma. You can learn most of your skills on-the-job as you work with trained professionals. Many employers provide you with clinical training as you begin work in order to learn basic skills such as CPR and first aid, in addition to various physical therapy fundamentals.
How Could I Advance My Career?
Because most states require that physical therapists and assistants hold certain degrees, you could choose to enroll in a physical therapy training program after spending some time gaining experience in the field. In a formal training program, you would study anatomy, physiology and psychology as well as participate in a supervised clinical experience. An associate's degree would qualify you to take the national licensure examination and begin work as a physical therapy assistant.
What Is the Job Outlook?
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) noted that employment of physical therapy aides was projected to increase 23% in the decade 2018-2028, which is much faster than average for all other occupations. An increasing number of physical therapists, assistants and aides will be needed to meet the demands of an aging population and a growing number of patients with chronic health conditions.
What Are Some Related Alternative Careers?
Occupational therapy aides and psychiatric aides perform many duties that are comparable to the tasks physical therapy aides perform. Occupational therapy aides may set up treatment areas, help transfer patients to and from the treatment area, clean the treatment areas, answer phones and schedule appointments. Similarly, psychiatric aides may also help transport patients, clean the facilities they use and wash linens. Like physical therapy aides, occupational therapy aides and psychiatric aides need a high school diploma and may learn the requisite skills through on-the-job training.

The classic Ms Pacman arcade game has been redone in flash and you can play it right here. Just like in Pac Man, you have to collect all the little pellets to complete the levels and move on. See if you can reach level 256! No seriously, also check out the Ms Pac Man facts below and be sure to check out some of our other flash games too before you go. Enjoy Ms Pac Man!

Ms. Pac Man is an arcade game produced by Illinois based Midway Manufacturing corporation. The Ms Pacman game was released one year after the company's Pac Man arcade game. Ms. Pac Man was released in North America January 13, 1982 and became one of the most popular video games of all time, leading to its adoption by Pac Man licensor Namco as an official title. The Ms Pacman game introduced a female protagonist, new maze designs, and several other gameplay changes over the original game. It became the most successful American produced arcade game, selling 115,000 arcade cabinets. The game play of Ms Pac Man is largely identical to that of the original PacMan game. The player gathers points by eating dots and avoiding ghosts (contact with one loses a life). Eating an energizer or power-pellet turns the ghosts blue, allowing them to be eaten for extra points. Fruit bonuses can be consumed for increasing point values, twice per level. As the levels increase, the speed increases, and energizers generally lessen the extent of the ghosts' vulnerability. In 2009, Game Informer put the Ms Pac Man arcade game 10th on their list of The Top 200 Games of All Time, saying that it trumped the original PacMan game in nearly every way.

California Institute of Technology issued the following announcement on July 23.
Kristin Weyman, a student affairs professional with more than a decade of experience in supporting the personal and professional development of undergraduate students, is joining Caltech as an associate dean for undergraduate students. Weyman will assume her new role on July 30, 2018.
Weyman will be one of two associate deans who work with Dean of Undergraduate Students Kevin Gilmartin in sharing responsibility for the development of Caltech's 1,000 undergraduate students. The dean's office oversees a wide variety of issues related to the well-being and progress of students throughout their educational career, including academic advising and support services, personal and general advising, faculty outreach and communication, student conduct, crisis management, and disability services.
Weyman comes to Caltech from Ohio Wesleyan University, a small, private, residential liberal arts college, where she has served as the associate dean for student success for the last year. Prior to that, she was in Southern California, serving as the associate dean for students and dean for first- and second-year students at Claremont McKenna College. Throughout her time in higher education, and in particular in working within student affairs leadership, Weyman has taken on a broad range of increasing responsibilities, from supervising and aligning student support services throughout student affairs, to assisting in the review and development of policies and procedures to enhance the student experience, to overseeing new student orientation programs, to meeting one-on-one with individual students and groups in an advising and mentoring capacity.
Weyman says, "I am excited to join the Caltech community and work with its motivated student body and dedicated faculty and staff to further the Institute's goals in helping students foster a balanced, healthy lifestyle while engaging in academic and extracurricular pursuits."
Weyman's appointment is occasioned by the retirement of Barbara Green, after 29 years of supporting Caltech's students and families in the dean's office. Green, an honorary member of the Caltech Alumni Association and a 2013 Thomas W. Schmitt Annual Staff Prize awardee, has been an integral team member in the dean's office, overseeing the transition between several faculty deans as well as serving as interim dean and sole representative for the office during two separate academic years and filling the role of disability services coordinator for graduate and undergraduate students.
"As I leave my position as associate dean, I am happy to know that someone as thoughtful, experienced, and dedicated as Kristin will be joining the dean's office," Green says. "Throughout her career in higher education, Kristin has demonstrated a commitment to supporting individual students—understanding their individual needs and backgrounds, and aligning the support and resources to help them succeed. She will be a welcome addition to Caltech."

It's bunnies galore this week at Heather Brown Baby with Easter just around the corner, so what better inspiration than a magical bunny forest for the kiddies... I delighted in creating a little emerald green oasis for these munchkin bunnies (which, were multiplying whilst i was there, i'm sure....) with a bit of paint, astro turf, pots of Little Gem trees and my "mossy rocks" :-) All framing some gorgeous little girl's smocked dresses, then dotted around some vintage Golden Books (bunny/garden themed of course!) and voila! a "Magical Bunny Forest" was born.
**No bunnies were harmed in the creation of this window display, I promise!

Internship Experience @ Nanavati and Nanavati Advocates, Ahmedabad: Good Work Environment, Helpful Associates
Name. College. Year of Study
Name of the organization. City
Nanavati and Nanavati Advocates, Ahmedabad
It is a firm headed by Sudhir Nanavati and managed by his son, Mr. Devang Nanavati.
It is divided into litigation and non litigation department.
My internship was with the non litigation department.
Duration of the internship
15 days
Duration in weeks. No. of days/week. Timings
10 am to 6 pm
First impression. First day, formalities etc.
On the first day, I entered in a very beautifully furnished office and one of the renowned law firms.
I met Adv. Ashani shah Nanavati who introduced me to the working style of the office and to other associates.
Then I was moved to the other part of the office wherein all the interns are given a separate space to work.
Main tasks (in detail)
My main task included researching and gradually I was also given drafting work pertaining to the non- litigation department.
I did, however, from time to time, carry out research for other associates too and thus that never gave me a chance to sit idle and infact do something fruitful.
Work Environment, People
The work environment is very informal especially with Ashani mam as she guides the juniors very patiently and with ease and helps them in every way that she can.
Also, other juniors are also very helpful.
Best things
The work environment.

'Jurassic World' Pitch Trailer: Here's What the Designer of Darth Maul Wants the New 'Jurassic Park' to Look Like
Update: Pablo Hidalgo, who works in story development for Lucasfilm, is stating that the below clip was created for a video game that was also called Jurassic World, but that was separate from the new movie.
This is awesome. But, before we all get too excited, we need to be abundantly clear: this is not an official trailer for Jurassic World. If you expect to see this on the big screen in 2015, you're probably going to be disappointed. That's because this is a pitch trailer; meaning it was created by someone solely with the purpose of landing a job working on Jurassic World.
In this case it was created by Iain McCaig, the concept artist who designed Darth Maul for George Lucas. He showcased the video at a recent Star Wars convention in Germany, which is where this footage comes from, though the YouTube uploader does mention that McCaig told the crowd he'd shown it to Kathleen Kennedy (the new head of LucasFilm) and Steven Spielberg, and that "it certainly got Steven interested in dinosaurs again..."
And it's easy to see why. We've never seen anything quite like this in a Jurassic Park movie. And if you're going to make a new Jurassic Park movie, you better give fans something they've never seen before.
Please don't let the TV quality of the CGI ruin this for you. Jurassic World will clearly have a much, much, much bigger budget and visual effects team behind it. We just hope they can take all of those resources and make something as fun and fresh as McCaig made this all-too-brief sequence. And hopefully they officially bring him on board to help it all come together.
Thanks to Shock Till You Drop for the find.

The Jakarta Post
Fishermen in Batang regency, Central Java, have seen a significant increase in their hauls over the last two years, thanks to improved fishing equipment, an official has said.
The Batang administration's head of fisheries and maritime affairs , Achmad Taufik, said Batang's sea fishing production reached around 25 million kilograms per year on average. "In the last two years, production has increased by around 25 percent annually," Taufik said on Friday, adding that sea fishing revenues contributed around Rp 80 billion (US$6.08 million) per year to the regency's locally generated recurring revenues.
"We are targeting a 27.5 percent increase in our fisheries production this year. With their plentiful hauls, we hope that fish traders do not forget their responsibility to pay fees to the government," Taufik said.
To maximize sea fishing production, he went on, the Batang administration is set to renovate infrastructure facilities at fish auction centers in seven areas across the regency.
According to Taufik, Batang now has 11,765 fishermen, comprising 625 fishing boat owners and 11,140 crew members, and 765 fishing vessels with various gross tonnages.
The fishing vessels operate various modern fishing equipment, such as purse seines, mini purse seines, bottom long lines, gill nets and trammel nets.
Friday morning saw unexpected scenes at Batang port, with dozens of sharks laid out on the floor of a storage facility within the complex. Fishermen were seen unloading more sharks from large baskets and labeling their catches.
"They are expensive. They will be sold in Jakarta, not here," said Abdul Kahfi, 40, a fisherman, adding that sharks were very much in season in the waters off the coastal regency.
"Alhamdulillah, we're getting good hauls. We go fishing every day and return home with our vessels packed with fish," he told thejakartapost.com. He added that there were around 10,000 fishermen active in Batang, and that almost all of them were enjoying large hauls.
According to Kahfi, an adult shark can fetch between Rp 400,000 and Rp 500,000.
At risk of extinction – Abdul Kahfi, 40, a fisherman from Batang, Central Java, looks after sharks he caught at the Batang fishing port on Friday.
Shark overfishing among local fishermen, however, has put the species at risk of extinction. Indonesia catches more sharks than any country in the world, according to conservation group Save Sharks Indonesia.
Green Peace Indonesia data show that Indonesia produces at least 486 tons of dried shark fins per year. Meanwhile, the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says at least 1.1 million tons of shark products are traded globally every year. Conservation groups have called on the government to take tougher measures to prevent shark fishing. (ebf)

Here are some interesting highlights from The 30th Annual Charleston Conference.
- Patron-driven acquisition was explored in most of the presentations from the conference. In just the last year, the conversation has shifted from a critical evaluation of the approach to a how-to discussion on building patron-driven acquisition into collection development plans. Clearly, there are a lot of moving parts here. The discussion is getting into the details now such as how to ensure that patron-driven acquisition and approval plans are in synch, how and whether to insert librarian approvals, and how patron-driven acquisition might fit into library's ILL and acquisitions workflows. There is even a model being suggested for a theoretical "User-Driven Purchase Giveaway Library" where ebooks are printed on demand and given to users to keep, helping to contain the costs of acquisition, circulation, reshelving, etc.
- Discovery Services remain an important area of focus and interest for libraries. The Faceoff for discovery solutions Summon and EDS was well attended.
- An important theme for academic libraries was the need to build the library's profile within the academic institution and demonstrate how the library helps the institution in achieving its goals. During my panel on alumni access, there was a lot of discussion about the importance and challenges of engaging the university alumni offices to help in funding and marketing alumni access services. Libraries need to engage with the academic administration on a variety of fronts, hence the many projects that are underway to demonstrate academic library value.
I could feel that change was in the air on a lot of fronts, in the sessions and in my discussions with the other participants. I would be interested in others' takeaways from the conference. What was new, different, and useful?

It's time for the City of Longmont to tell it's residents the running total for costs involved in the ongoing lawsuits and appeals with the town of Firestone over the LifeBridge Union annexation, including the monthly cost for the attorneys in this particular case. We've heard a lot about the open space involved and how we need to keep Longmont a "free-standing" community. But, this is an election issue.
City council members who are up for re-election have taken public positions on this as have candidates who are running. Councilmembers Karen Benker and Roger Lange, as well as candidate Kaye Fissinger have stated publicly that they support the city continuing the lawsuits. Councilmember Gabe Santos has asked during a council meeting that it be dropped, and candidate Katie Witt has stated publicly that it also be dropped. Because the legal aspects of this issue have been discussed behind closed doors, the voting public deserves to know the amount that this is costing the taxpayers of Longmont in order to make an informed decision this November and properly weigh whether a candidates postion is valid based on the pros and cons of this important campaign issue.
Promote transparency and allow the voters to make an informed decision, including what voting for a candidate and his/her position on this means and the cost or benefit to them. Anything less is a disservice to the voters of Longmont and they deserve to know the facts.

Title: VITALITY-ALS, a Phase 3 trial of the fast skeletal muscle troponin activator, Tirasemtiv, for the potential treatment of ALS: Study design and baseline characteristics
Cytokinetics is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing first-in-class muscle activators as potential treatments for debilitating diseases in which muscle performance is compromised and/or declining. As a leader in muscle biology and the mechanics of muscle performance, the company is developing small molecule drug candidates specifically engineered to increase muscle function and contractility. Cytokinetics' lead drug candidate is tirasemtiv, a fast skeletal muscle troponin activator, for the potential treatment of ALS. Tirasemtiv has been granted orphan drug designation and fast track status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and orphan medicinal product designation by the European Medicines Agency for the potential treatment of ALS. Cytokinetics retains the right to develop and commercialize tirasemtiv, subject to an option held by Astellas Pharma Inc. Cytokinetics is also collaborating with Astellas to develop CK-2127107, a fast skeletal muscle activator, for the potential treatment of spinal muscular atrophy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and ALS. Cytokinetics is collaborating with Amgen Inc. to develop omecamtiv mecarbil, a novel cardiac muscle activator, for the potential treatment of heart failure. Amgen holds an exclusive license worldwide to develop and commercialize omecamtiv mecarbil and Astellas holds an exclusive license worldwide to develop and commercialize CK-2127107. Both licenses are subject to Cytokinetics' specified development and commercialization participation rights. For additional information about Cytokinetics, visit http://www.cytokinetics.com/.

At the end of my third week in the new job, I've come to a couple realizations. Most recent is that I'm having to watch the clock closely so that I leave on time. I'm a contractor, so I'm hourly, not salaried. That means it's all too easy for me to start putting in overtime at a job I enjoy, and this i just such a job. Problem is, the manager here isn't allowed to give me overtime without the approval of his higher-ups, and unless something major goes bonkers that approval probably won't be forthcoming. This sort of bugs me, because I've already found myself wanting to stay later and get something finished, but it's ultimately not that big an issue, I just have to budget my time closely.
I'm also re-discovering why I went in to IT in general – and system administration in particular – in the first place. I'm having a large influence on how things are done already, making people's lives easier and helping them sleep better at night. At least, I think I am, which is much the same thing as far as my enjoyment of the job is concerned. I've also already been given opportunities for input that my former boss would have never given me, and made decisions he would have never approved of simply because he didn't understand the logic behind them (or was too caught up in having to appear in control of everything to actually let anyone else get any work done).
In future posts, I may detail some of the automation stuff I'm putting into place. It's not really all that ground-breaking; honestly, it's somewhat pedestrian and rote, simply because there are so many other places that have done similar things before. Still, it's all my stuff, customized specifically for my new job, and I take a great deal of pride in the fact that not only did I put it into place, but that it's been well-received by the admin team here and that it has (so far in it's limited lifetime) worked quite well. Not flawlessly, but quite well.
I've still got a good bit of work to do to add functionality I want to add to what I've already put in place, but I'm going to launch by next big initiative next week, addressing a completely different topic than workflow automation. It's something I see as sorely needed (again) for the future of the environment, but it's significantly larger and more invasive than the simply installation automation I've done so far so I don't know how well it's going to fly. I have faith that the people here will see the need for it and the logic behind it, I just don't know how easy it will be to actually make the necessary changes to put it into place. I'm hopeful.
Wow. That's something I haven't been able to say about my job for a long time. It feels really good to be able to say that.

Coopers Brewery is releasing its Original Pale Ale product in a can format next month.
Coopers sales and marketing director Cam Pearce said there had been increasing demand for a convenient can option for the brewery's flagship product.
"Consumer demand for beer in cans has accelerated over the past few years as we see cans appealing to a wider audience," he said.
"It suits those occasions drinkers are looking for the versatility and convenience a can format offers."
Pearce said Coopers Original Pale Ale is currently market leader of the total pale ale market in Australia with 32.5% share.
Coopers had been encouraged to offer the new can format for Pale Ale on the back of the recent launch of Session Ale in both bottles and cans, and the strong uptake of the can offering in the product mix.
As a result of the Original Pale Ale's release in cans, the Dr Tim's brand will be retired from the Coopers portfolio, he said.
The new 375ml cans are the same price as 375ml bottles, although may vary at retail with promotional activity.

Milk and dairy foods are healthy foods and considered nutrient-rich because they serve as good sources of calcium and vitamin D as well as protein and other essential nutrients. They provide phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins A, B12, and riboflavin1.
The calcium in milk, yogurt and cheese is significant yet most people don't get enough calcium or vitamin D each day2. Getting the recommended three servings of dairy per day can help build bone mass, leading to improved bone health throughout the life cycle.
To meet daily calcium requirements, most people should have two to three cups of milk or servings of dairy foods each day. There are many ways to ensure you are eating healthy and getting enough milk and dairy foods each day. Start with a healthy breakfast of cereal, milk and fruit or a yogurt parfait, include cheese in your lunch or afternoon snack and consider pudding or hot chocolate made with milk as an evening dessert. To learn more about the amounts of food to eat each day, use the Healthy Eating Planner.
The calcium in milk is easily absorbed and used in the body, which is why milk and dairy foods are reliable as well as economical sources of calcium3.
A diet rich in protein and vitamin D contributes to bone health. Due to their high protein, vitamin D and calcium content, dairy foods are a good choice for maintaining strong bones.
A diet rich in fruit, vegetables and low-fat dairy foods, with reduced saturated fat, is as effective as some medications in reducing blood pressure in people with increased blood pressure. It has also been shown to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes1.
Cultured dairy foods like yogurt contain probiotics which provide a wide array of health benefits. Probiotics in the diet can enhance the good bacteria in the gut, improve health and reduce the risk of certain diseases4.

Ashley River Lumber
We are a 3rd generation family Sawmill and Logging Company. We own and manage forest, and log the trees. We then produces many wood products from sawdust(burning fuel), wood chips(making paper), shavings(animal bedding), and most importantly cutting lumber custom to each company or individuals order. We have the ability to take if from raw resource to finished lumber and cut it to custom specs unlike Lowes, Homedepot or other lumber yards where you get what they have. We target large corporations that need crating, pallets and other packaging. We cut very large long lumber for semi trailer floors or exposed beams in upscale homes. And then we also sell to the local wood worker, boat builder, and carpenters too! We also manage use the best practices for managing the replacing the trees and wildlife to keep the cycle going for the next generations.
Most the general public has little knowledge of the wood industry and most the ones that do are tree huggers that think we are bad. The truth is we help to create more trees and healthier trees. Our ideals here are to harvest the large mature or bad trees in an area. Then the middle age and younger trees have more light and space to grow and reproduce. We let people use the lands for hunting, fishing and farming and have some protected from ever being developed. What I am looking for is a friendly trendy type of branding and logo that even someone that never buys a product from me would like to have a sticker of on the back of there car. That's why I uploaded that fish symbol above. It is for a local retail fishing supply store. But you can see these stickers everywhere on cars and people you know that don't fish like a college girl or soccer mom. But everyone around here knows Charleston Angler because of these symbol. I don't want big bad sawmill, i want trendy environmentally friendly sawmill for everyone. I wasn't sure to go with company name by itself or with website also. Thanks! Be creative!

Texas Democrats and progressives need to embrace property tax reform
For years, Democrats and progressives have rallied in support of investments in education, improvements in healthcare and protection of the environment. They have been tireless champions of civil rights and voting rights. Unfortunately, what they haven't talked about enough is the increasingly high property taxes surging in Texas.
Democrats need to talk about tax reform.
Property taxes in Texas are some of the highest in the country, according to the Tax Foundation. Because of our antiquated tax system and exploding property values, middle- and working-class Texans bear the overwhelming burden of taxation. While commercial property owners have successfully used the system to keep their taxes low by fighting appraisal values, homeowners have suffered.
Residential taxpayers are supposed to be protected by cap on annual increases in property taxes, set at 8 percent per year. But near-automatic value increases have turned into backdoor tax increases — a financial burden on working- and middle-class Texas homeowners.
These annual increases in property valuation mean annual local property tax bills are increasing faster than inflation and far exceed the average annual salary increases of working and middle class Texans.
Some people forget that when property valuations increase, homeowners' property insurance bills increase as does their property tax bill, contributing to the rising cost of homeownership. The purchase price of a home is not the only factor in keeping housing affordable. Consideration must also be given to the long-term ability (sustainability) of homeowners to afford annual property tax and homeowners' insurance payments on top of their mortgage payments.
Before the Great Recession, delinquent property taxes were one of the major causes for the loss of homes and the existence of abandoned buildings in inner-city neighborhoods; so-called upside-down properties — where the taxes and fees owed exceeded the value of the property — resulted in evictions and foreclosures. We literally taxed people out of their homes.
Those abandoned homes became sites for crime and violence, reducing the values of neighboring properties and further destroying inner cities.
While Republicans have talked about property tax reduction, they have not yet done enough to really help fix the problem. GOP state leaders have increasingly shifted the burden of services and taxation downward. While the city has a revenue cap on property taxes, the county doesn't and those taxes have skyrocketed. Insufficient action by Republicans in Austin and by Harris County government has kept our property taxes far too high.
To solve this problem we need to embrace fiscally sound and progressive solutions.
One of the best ways is to expand the homestead exemption. The Legislature should give local governments the authority to expand the property tax exemption for the first $150,000 of residential taxable property. The net effect of this would be a significant tax cut to all homeowners, particularly those in the middle- and working-class.
Similarly, a reduction of the tax cap to 5 percent would reduce the rate of "automatic" increases in appraisal values. Local governments could still raise more revenues but they would need to actually raise the rate rather than simply take advantage of property value increases.
Finally, we need fundamental reforms to the appraisal system. There is no arguing that large corporate entities have successfully challenged appraisals and reduced their property values; that shifts tax burdens to homeowners. Appraisal districts are ill-equipped to fight the well-healed corporate lawyers these firms employ. The Texas attorney general's office should be empowered to intervene in any case involving a corporate entity in opposition to their request to lower their appraisal value. We need to level the playing field to protect homeowners.
Middle-class Texans need leaders who will advocate for them — not just the special interests. Texas Democrats have to lead the way in fighting for lower property taxes and a fairer tax system.

Guide students through a fairy-tale genre study. By immersing themselves in the genre, students will determine why people tell such magical tales!
Lesson Plan
Ella Enchanted Lesson Plan
Students compare and contrast the classic fairy tale Cinderella with its modern version, Ella Enchanted.
Quick links to lesson materials:
Students will:
- Identify the elements of a fairy tale
- Compare and contrast two fairy tales based on a similar story
- Utilize knowledge of fairy tale elements to write an original fairy tale
Lesson Resources
Cinderella by Barbara McClintock
Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
Class set of copies for each of the following:
Comparing Fairy Tales Worksheet (PDF)
Vocabulary Worksheet (PDF)
Fairy Tale Pre-Writing Organizer (PDF)
Word Questioning Worksheet (PDF)
Vocabulary Activity (PDF)
Quiz (PDF)
Class Comparing Fairy Tales Worksheet on chart paper
Before Reading:
On a large class chart, review the different elements of fairy tales. (Create a class chart that looks just like the students' Comparing Fairy Tale Worksheet) Ask students to think about the fairy tale Cinderella. If students are having difficulty identifying elements of the story, read it aloud to the class. Have students identify the elements of fairy tales particular to Cinderella and fill in the chart.
Students should also become familiar with the vocabulary that is important to the book before they read, especially the titles people had during the Medieval time period. Give students an opportunity to complete the Vocabulary Activity before they read the book. Students can use their background knowledge, dictionaries, and online dictionaries to complete the task.
This is a great book to use during an interdisciplinary unit on the Medieval time period.
During Reading:
Vocabulary Activity: There are many challenging words found in this book. Included is a Vocabulary Worksheet that includes vocabulary words and the page numbers where the word is found. Students can define the words before reading or work in groups to complete a Word Questioning Worksheet. Students can also keep a list of challenging words on a bookmark or in a reading log.
As students read Ella Enchanted they can complete the other side of the Comparing Fairy Tales Worksheet. Students should add information to the chart each day that they read. At the end of each session, have students share their findings with a partner, in small groups, or a whole group.
After Reading:
Students will utilize their knowledge of fairy tale elements to write their own modern day version of Cinderella. Before students write their own fairy tale, they may want to read and compare more versions of the Cinderella tale. Below are some suggestions:
The Rough Face Girl by Rafe Martin
Anklet for a Princess: A Cinderella Story from India by Meredith Babeaux Brucker and Lila Mehta
Domitila: A Cinderella Tale from the Mexican Tradition by Jewell Reinhart Coburn
Yeh-Shen: A Cinderella Story from China by Ai-Ling Louie
Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters by John Steptoe
Sootface: An Ojibwa Cinderella Story by Robert D. San Souci
Before writing, use the Comparing Fairy Tales chart to discuss the similarities and differences between the two versions of Cinderella. Discuss how the main characters were different, how setting affects the differences in the story, and why the author might have made the changes she did.
Then have the students think about how they can modernize the original Cinderella fairy tale. Discuss possible settings, problems, solutions, and characters. Make a class chart of student ideas to help those students who might not have a writing idea. After the class discussion have students complete the Fairy Tale Pre-Writing Organizer.
Once students have the pre-writing done they can begin writing their stories. They can write in a picture book format.
Home Connection
Have a publishing party and invite parents into the classroom to listen to students stories.
Evaluate the Lesson
Can students identify the different elements of fairy tales?
Did students identify similarities and differences between the fairy tales Cinderella and Ella Enchanted?
Were students able to apply their knowledge of the elements of fairy tales to write their own moern day fairy tale?
Lesson Assessment
- Assess students' comprehension of book with quiz.
- Evaluate students' Comparing Fairy Tales Worksheet.
- Evaluate students original written fairy tale.

We are excited to welcome physician-scientist trainee, Dr. Lara Davis to the Keller laboratory. Lara is one of those rare physicians who will be qualified to treat both child and adult cancer patients.
in Lara's words:
After graduating from Wellesley College with a BA in Neuroscience, I attended medical school at OHSU where learning about new targeted therapies such as Gleevec sparked my interest in oncology early on. During medical school, I found myself enjoying caring for both children and adults with cancer and thus decided to pursue residency training in Med-Peds. I completed the four-year training in the Harvard Med-Peds Program at Brigham & Women's Hospital and Children's Hospital Boston and am now board certified in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. My interest in oncology evolved throughout residency to a focus on adolescents and young adults (AYA), an often over-looked population. I worked with Dr Linda Stork and Dr Brandon Hayes-Lattin to design a combined fellowship at OHSU and am now completing my second clinical year (one in peds hem/onc, one in medical onc). This summer I will join the Keller lab to pursue my interest in identifying targeted therapies for cancers that disproportionately affect AYA patients, particularly sarcomas.
We are thankful to have such a talented young person join our team. We fully expect that Lara will be a future leader in personalized medicine for sarcomas, particularly osteosarcoma.

April 17, 1888: Paper read at AWWA national conference by J.T. Fanning, President. Water Supply Treatments and Sources. "The first and highest among municipal duties is that of securing the most wholesome public water supply and thereafter faithfully protecting the same. If charged with this duty the municipality goes to the river, the lake, or the hill-side stream in search of a pure supply, it will learn that all these waters have their sediments and solutions, and most of them have such impurities as will catch the attention of even a careless observer.
When the public eye observes, or the public receives a rumor that these impurities are flowing from its taps, there is a liability of exceedingly capricious opinion. This capriciousness over real, and more often over supposed, impurities, is one of the chief difficulties with which projectors and managers of water supply have to contend, and out of it have grown discussions and hatreds and divisions that have almost rent communities asunder.
Sometimes the consumers of water accept a supply graciously when to do so is to endanger their community, and on the other hand lack of funds or probable profit may influence the acceptance of a pernicious source until a change is more feasible."
Commentary: It is no wonder that contaminated water supplies were killing people by the trainload during the late 1800s. Water professionals did not think much of customer service back then.

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, NJ, February 4, 2011 – Parke Bancorp, Inc. ("Parke Bancorp") (NASDAQ: "PKBK"), the parent company of Parke Bank, announces its operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.
Parke Bancorp reported net income available to common shareholders of $1.47 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share, for the December 31, 2010 quarter, compared to net income of $1.45 million or $0.33 per diluted common share reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, an increase of 1.0%. Net income available to common shareholders for the year was $6.4 million or $1.41 per diluted common share, compared to $5.2 million or $1.17 per diluted common share reported for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of 22.1%.The following is a recap of significant items that impacted the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the same quarter last year: increased loan loss provision ($500,000), increased salary expense attributable to annual increases and the formation of our SBA joint venture ($461,000), and increased other real estate owned ("OREO") expenses ($278,000).
At December 31, 2010, Parke Bancorp's total assets increased to $758.4 million from $654.2 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $104.2 million or 15.9%. The increase was largely due to an effective deposit promotion and an opening of a new retail branch location in Galloway Township, NJ. Cash and due from banks increased to $57.6 million from $4.1 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $53.5 million. Parke Bancorp will utilize the cash to pay off maturing brokered CDs and fund future loan growth.
Parke Bancorp's total loans increased to $626.7 million from $603.4 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $23.3 million or 3.9%. The change reflects an increase in commercial loans of $11.0 million, residential mortgage loans of $9.6 million and consumer loans of $2.7 million.
At December 31, 2010, Parke Bancorp had $27.4 million in non-performing loans or 3.6% of total assets, an increase from $25.5 million at December 31, 2009. The three largest relationships in non-performing loans are a $6.1 million residential loan, a $3.2 million residential construction loan, and a $2.4 million residential construction loan. Loans past due 30 to 89 days were $15.8 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $8.5 million from December 31, 2009.
At December 31, 2010, Parke Bancorp's allowance for loan losses increased to $14.8 million from $12.4 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $2.4 million or 19.2%. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans increased to 2.36% at December 31, 2010 from 2.06% at December 31, 2009. During the quarter Parke Bancorp charged-off $1.2 million in loans, primarily due to estimated collateral deficiencies on impaired loans.
Parke Bancorp's total investment securities decreased to $29.7 million from $31.9 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $2.2 million or 6.9%.
OREO at December 31, 2010 was $16.7 million, compared to none at December 31, 2009. The real estate owned consisted of 12 properties, the largest being a condominium development at $7.9 million. This property was sold in 2010 but does not qualify for a sales treatment under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
At December 31, 2010, Parke Bancorp's total deposits increased to $604.7 million from $520.3 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $84.4 million or 16.2%, consisting of increases in certificate of deposits of $44.2 million, money market accounts of $11.0 million, savings accounts of $25.1 million and checking accounts of $4.1 million resulting from successful promotions and the opening on our new branch in the 2nd quarter of 2010.
Parke Bancorp's total borrowings increased to $77.1 million from $67.8 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $9.3 million or 13.7%.
Parke Bancorp's total equity increased to $70.7 million at December 31, 2010 from $62.0 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $8.7 million or 14.1%.
Vito S. Pantilione, President and Chief Executive Officer of Parke Bancorp and Parke Bank, provided the following statement:
"We are proud to report record earnings for 2010. Net Income increased over 20% for the year compared to 2009. Our bank's assets and deposits grew 16% compared to 2009 and although the economy and the real estate market continue to be sluggish, our loan portfolio grew nearly 4%. We opened a new full service branch in Galloway Township, NJ in April, which has already made a major contribution to our retail deposit growth. I am also happy to report that our new SBA Company, 44 Business Capital, generated substantial profits in its first full year of operation.
The banking regulatory environment continues to be very difficult with many new regulations and restrictions being passed, which has caused a substantial increase in costs for community banks. We continue to have many challenges in our loan portfolio, which we are working aggressively to resolve. During these difficult times we have increased our allowance for loan losses to 2.36% of our loan portfolio, maintaining a very conservative position. 2010 was a very difficult year for the economy and the banking industry, but thanks to the hard work of our staff and the quality of our customers we generated a return on equity for our shareholders in excess of 12%."

Today's Trades 01.30.2018 – USDJPY, EURCAD, EURGBP, AUDJPY
*Good morning/afternoon everyone!*
If the price action in the FX market on Monday can be characterized by consolidation, the last 12 hours is best described by the word volatility. The dollar rallied hard during the Asian trading session into Europe but collapsed sharply after the London open. It is trading heavily as the NY session begins but trying to recover its losses as pairs like EUR/USD appear to be topping while USDJPY and USDCAD appear to be bottoming. There's been zero fundamental catalyst but for the past few weeks its lived up to its title of Turnaround Tuesday. We're also nearing the end of the month and after some very strong moves in currencies, portfolio rebalancing could be affecting FX trade. Eurozone data was mostly in line with expectations with the EZ economy expanding by 0.6% in Q4. UK mortgage data was slightly weaker. Consumer confidence and house prices are scheduled for release this morning but the main focus will be this evening's State of the Union Address by President Trump – traders may look to unwind positions ahead of this big event.
*The MAIN THEMES I see today are*
*Trading Biases*
mildly +EUR, +JPY (+USDJPY)

*Today's Initial Trades*
1. Sell AUDJPY at 87.98, Stop at 88.26, Target 87.70

Join the team at King Edward Mine
King Edward Mine
By: Carol Richards
Added: 12 December 2018
Would you like to volunteer?
King Edward Mine museum, based near Camborne, is keen to increase the number of its volunteers.
The mine has been in existence since the mid 1800's and the museum was formed more than 25 years ago. It has won several awards for its buildings, some of which English Heritage list as Grade 2*. Despite being the lucky recipients of Heritage Lottery Money, the 22 acre site requires constant upkeep. Within the buildings there are unique machines relating to how the Mill was worked using water and the volunteers are keen to keep them in as good an order as possible. It is a struggle as there are not as many volunteers as we would like.
Please don't think that volunteering at King Edward is only for people of retirement age. Currently we have single parents and ladies are as welcome as gentlemen and we would welcome younger people, so that skills can be passed on before they disappear.
The current team comprises people who, amongst many other occupations, were medics, policemen, gardeners, secretaries, shop staff, teachers, engineers and a pub landlord. Although we are always on the lookout for help with engineering, there are many other areas available such as front of house, retailing, education, estates, health and safety, administration including data management and curatorial. From this list you can see there are a wide variety of tasks that you could help with. Helping at the museum would look good on your cv.
We value a regular commitment, but any time that you can give us would be welcome. A sense of humour is more important than experience as you can learn on the job.
As the museum is closed for the winter, if you are interested please make contact with us via our web site or email a brief personal history together with your contact details to:- firstname.lastname@example.com and we will respond as soon as possible.
