A chest x-ray is an image of the heart and lungs and other structures in the chest. A small dose of radiation is used to create the image. It is one of the most common medical tests done.
Reasons for Test
Chest x-rays are done to look for abnormalities of the heart, lungs, bones, or blood vessels in the chest. A chest x-ray may be ordered if certain symptoms are present, such as:
- Bad or persistent cough
- Difficulty breathing
- Coughing up blood
- Chest pain
- Chest injury
- Fever
- Abnormality of the rib cage
- Evidence of cancer
Possible Complications
Chest x-rays are done using a small dose of radiation. If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, tell your doctor or the x-ray technician. X-rays are generally avoided during pregnancy, if possible.
What to Expect
Prior to Test
You will be asked to remove all jewelry from the waist up. You will also put on a hospital gown. A lead apron may be placed over your abdomen and pelvis. This is done to minimize the risks of radiation.
Description of Test
Pictures are usually taken from both a side view and a front view. An x-ray technician will position you according to the type of x-ray machine used. In most cases, you will stand against the x-ray plate with your hands up or to the side. You will be asked to take a deep breath and hold it while the x-ray is being taken. You will also be asked to stay as still as possible when the film is taken. You may notice that the film cartridge feels cool to your skin.
After Test
You will be able to leave after the test is done.
How Long Will It Take?
About 10-15 minutes
Will It Hurt?
A specialist will look at the x-rays taken and send a report to the doctor. Results are generally available in 1-2 days.
Call Your Doctor
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Jama Software this month bids to enrich our lives with the release of new features in its SaaS product delivery platform.
Targeting the evil triumvirate of compressed cycle times, complexity, and organizational misalignment, this product delivery software relies on traceability to connect "everyone" across an organization.
According to research from Forrester Consulting (in partnership with Jama it appears), delayed decision-making is the second biggest cause of product delays, behind issues with requirements. Really yes, it's that important, honest, Forrester says so.
Of more practical substance perhaps is commentary here from the analyst firm pointing to delayed decision-making actually arising from "common situations" such as meeting-intensive processes, loss of intelligence from one project to the next, and general lack of context into upstream and downstream impacts of decisions themselves.
"Using Jama, our agile product team captures 350-400 product decisions per release — conversations that would otherwise be lost in meetings, in email, or buried in documents somewhere," says Derwyn Harris, Jama cofounder and product manager. "Now imagine you're a 20,000-employee enterprise with a product portfolio of more than 100 products and a workforce that's 40 percent remote. Thousands of decisions get lost in the shuffle if not captured in context to the work."
Visualization features new in the Jama Spring 2014 release offer visual displays of an individual's work, down to the item level, which connects to both the tasks of every other team member as well as to how the task rolls up to the business objectives defining the outcome of the overall product.
This function is visible from nearly every view in Jama (via pop-up modals, activity palettes, and in the stream); users see their work in context of the whole, which is critical to efficient product delivery.
A "Conversation Indicator" graphically displays the scope of conversations and associated decisions, and the identities of users engaged with a work item. This indicator layers-on actionable insight to the Jama stream, so users can see everyone connected to the item and immediately reach out — via @mention — to the right person with questions and answers or to elevate the discussion to those who need to know.
When it comes to Indirectly Connected Users, a view into an entire community invested in the product success is possible. This level of insight into the people talking about a feature under discussion aims to help individuals communicate in real-time and make more strategic decisions. If a CEO, for example, has commented on an item, everyone downstream would understand its impact on the business objectives and (in theory) be able to prioritize accordingly.
Also featured here is a relationship rules diagram to show how information needs to be related together so that everyone has a clear picture of how their work relates holistically. A relationship status indicator flags when a rule is broken and provides insight into how to fix it. When orphan items such as stories or test cases are missing downstream, users can drill into the epic and get details on the broken relationships.

With many victims of Hurricane Sandy still unable to return to their homes or find suitable housing outside of expensive hotel accommodations, many are learning about the intricacies and shortfalls of coverage in their insurance policies.
Homeowners policies typically include coverage for additional living expenses when families must live elsewhere while their home is being repaired due to a covered loss or while civil authorities have ordered an evacuation. The coverage is supposed to allow the family to maintain their standard of living, but too often reality falls short of intent.
Most HNW clients insure their homes with policies from mass-market carriers. These policies can limit coverage for the additional cost of living anywhere from 10% to 20% of the replacement cost of the home. So a home insured for $3 million by a standard carrier would likely have $300,000 to $600,000 in coverage for additional living expenses. By contrast, policies from carriers that specialize in serving high-net-worth families place no absolute limit on additional living expenses in all but a few states.
The $300,000 to $600,000 in coverage provided by mass-market carriers sounds quite adequate, but many HNW families would be surprised to learn how quickly the additional expenses add up and how long they may be unable to live in their homes. A 2011 study by United Policyholders, a non-profit insurance consumer advocacy organization, found that more than a third of Colorado residents whose homes were destroyed or damaged by the 2010 Fourmile Canyon wildfire would exhaust their additional living expense coverage before they could move back into their home.
Imagine a family of five in a $3 million home with six bedrooms. The home burns down. Now they must face the prospect of living elsewhere for a long period of time. It typically takes 18 months or more to rebuild a high-value home. At first, the family is in shock and understandably unable to make a major decision about where to live for so long. Usually, they stay in a local hotel for several months while they search for a better solution. The daily cost of multiple rooms and meals out can easily reach into the thousands. We have seen costs of $5,000 or more per night for hotel bills alone in high-price areas such as Manhattan. In such a case, expenses would top $150,000 after one month, with another 17 months to go until the home is likely rebuilt.
Transportation costs add up, too. The kids may be spread out in age and attending different schools and engaging in different extra-curricular activities. In new, farther-away accommodations, the primary caregiver and driver may be unable to ferry everyone everywhere within the necessary timeframes. A car service may become necessary.
How HNW-Market Carriers Add Value After a Home Loss
With proximity to their damaged home, workplace, and schools a priority, the family will understandably limit the area in which they are willing to find a rental home. By limiting the area, they limit the odds of finding a good deal—another addition to expenses. Mass-market carriers may not have the relationships in place to find luxury properties quickly, if at all, potentially extending the time the family must stay in an expensive hotel. HNW-market carriers typically have a network of such relationships already established, allowing for a faster transition to a satisfactory temporary home.
Furthermore, the best temporary home they find within an acceptable distance may still not match the quality of their damaged home. Perhaps they had a bathroom with a large whirlpool tub, and the temporary home only has a standard tub. Perhaps they had an extensive wine collection stored in a sophisticated temperature controlled environment. The temporary home does not. A standard carrier may not appreciate these qualitative differences—one bathtub is the same as another. A HNW-market carrier, however, will recognize these differences and may, in certain circumstances, pay to have the home altered to match the quality of the damaged home.
While whirlpool tubs and wine cellars may sound extravagant, HNW-market carriers understand that few events cause more anguish than the loss of a home. The family will be out of their home for a long and unsettling time. Allowing them to enjoy every sense of normalcy only helps them overcome the pain of loss.
Finally, when a natural disaster destroys many homes, the laws of supply and demand put further upward pressure on temporary living expenses, as in the case of Superstorm Sandy. Although laws do guard against price gouging, prices still escalate to some degree. Furthermore, it may take longer to find an available contractor to start the rebuilding process, extending the time that higher temporary living expenses are necessary. Public infrastructure repairs or environmental hazards may also need to be addressed before homes can be rebuilt. We've seen it take 12 months just to get the building permit. Policies from mass-market carriers can place time limits, such as 24 months, on coverage for additional living expenses.
The differences in how mass-market carriers and HNW-market carriers treat additional living expenses provide one more reason why wealth advisors should ask their HNW clients about their personal insurance program. Along with having inadequate levels of coverage for liability, the home structure, and collections of jewelry, art, wine and other precious items, additional living expenses represents a key financial risk for HNW families. By partnering with an insurance agent or broker experienced in dealing with HNW clients, advisors can help make sure these risks are properly addressed as part of their overall fiduciary responsibility to their HNW clients.

Sitting on the edge of our bathtub this afternoon, waiting for my hair dye to calm the rapidly growing grays, I watched as Lainey skipped into the bathroom wearing her usual getup–a princess dress/pajama top/three-hair-clip ensemble. She carried her hot pink Fisher Price camera in one hand and wore a look of determination.
"Whatcha doin'?" I asked.
"Takin' pictures," she answered as she kneeled down to the floor–an inch away from a spot on the tile– pulled her bulky camera to her face and clicked. She looked at the fuzzy image on the screen, smiled, and turned it towards me. A blurry picture of a spot on tile.
"Awesome," I commended. She continued with her photography project, dragging a stool next to the toilet and climbing higher for the perfect composition of the porcelain throne. She even thought to shut the toilet lid before she clicked because sister knows how to frame a good shot. Again, she reviewed her work in the tiny camera screen, smiled her approval–okay, this time she laughed–and then ran off to take more pictures.
I found her camera later and scrolled through fifteen hundred blurry pictures which included family members, stuffed animals propped up with blankets, naked dolls, tile squares, empty walls and yes, toilets. I had to smile. Go on, girl. Look for beauty. And if you find it in toilets then sister, you really do have unicorn genes.
We scored our beauty last night in a place that didn't require digging for it, or climbing stools to compose it. It lavishly spills out at the orange grove, and it's more a matter of grabbing containers (a.k.a cameras, exclamations–er, happycusswords) to scoop it up.
Oh, Nella had a fit about her boots. And wanted to be held. And our stroller wheels got stuck in deep sandy ant hills, forcing the stroller to come to an abrupt halt which kind of made everything inside–namely my kid–get whiplash. Which made me whisper curse words. And it wasn't perfect per say, but oh that doesn't mean it wasn't beautiful. Or that those curse-worthy moments weren't far outshined by happy ones. Because we drove to this lil' 'ol grove with that purpose, and I'll be damned if we didn't fulfil our mission. If you look for the good, you will find it.
We stayed longer than we should have, stretching out a normal picking session by letting the girls do most of the plucking. Which, to them means taking five minutes to pick out one perfect orange (unfortunately, ripeness has nothing to do with it), pulling at it for a very long time, falling to the ground when it snaps, hauling it over to the bucket and beginning again with the search for the next one. Times fifty.
It was a good night. You might even call it picturesque. I mean, rows of orange trees, golden sun flare, smiling girls, citrus scents, the gray grove cat that slithered between trees and brushed its body against Lainey's boots, sending her giggling. In fact, based on the photos, it looks damn near perfect. And pictures represent someone's life 100%, of course, so we could just conclude that we have the perfect life–or at least that's what I would like to trick everyone into believing. I poop glitter, remember?
Sarcasm is not the most powerful tool and sometimes just the easy way out for me to deal with something, so I'll rein in the unicorn quips and cut to the chase.
It's a question I'm often asked, one that many bloggers or writers or artists or anyone who puts himself out there faces: How do you deal with negative criticism, mean comments, etc.? This topic spurred by definitely-not-the-first negative comment I received last night on Instagram, in reference to an orange grove picture that happened to include, I'm sorry to say, smiling and sunshine and cute boots in one picture. Which is like, blasphemy, I guess. And there I go again, letting the sarcasm creep in which is, in case you didn't know, a little red flag we use to detour people from the hidden truth of Mean Comments Sometimes Hurt Our Feelings. And saying "we" and "our" to make that statement collective is another little red flag
we I use to water down the fact that it's personal. That sometimes they hurt my feelings.
It was one of the usual (I can categorize them now that I've been doing this for a few years). Something along the lines of you-and-your-perfect-fake-life. I think the words childish and glitter were also used–an interesting choice because kids and glitter happen to be two of my favorite things. I don't always have time to read every single comment, although I try. And it's very rare that I would respond to a negative one or even take the time to delete it because I understand people have the right to not only formulate their opinion about me or my work, but they have a right to voice it.
I pick this particular occassion to write about this because the comment hit a lot of nerves on IG. Over a hundred people wrote in response to this individual, and there was a lot of love shared that–I'll be honest–felt good, even though I think it's important to separate ourselves and our work from feedback, period. Being praised can be just as harmful as being criticized if you're not careful. Your work, your voice, your words, your art, your gifts you have to give to the world–their value has nothing to do with the response you receive from them. Social media can complicate that truth, and good feedback can trick you into thinking "I am good because people like what I put out there." That's not true. Ever.
Validation is an interesting thing though, and no matter how strong or unphased by criticism we are, there is an undeniable human desire to have people like what we feel passionate about–our art, our words, our stories, our styles, our writing, our opinions. It's why we sometimes feel hesitant to publish or share. What will people think?
Let me answer that. If you share, if you publish, if you write, if you speak, if you are brave and decide to put yourself out there, I promise you, someone won't like it. Someone won't agree with you. Someone will misinterpret. Someone will think that you are silly, unqualified and that your work is crap. That you are crap. They might not just think it but they might tell you. And that won't feel good, especially not the first time you hear it. But it is necessary. And it's okay.
My friend Melina is a fabulous writer. She lives an adventurous life and writes riveting accounts of her excursions. She is funny and witty and brave in her writing. Sometimes I read her stories and think "I want to write like that." Her blog readership has understandably increased the last year and I wasn't surprised when I recently received an e-mail from her–sister's first really really nasty comment. Girlfriend took a punch to the gut, and I'm not going to lie–it was a doozy. The commenter went for the jugular and beyond. In summary, the comment wasted a lot of needless words to say "You. Are. Crap." And Melina's e-mail to me went something like "I am shaking, I am pissed, I am processing this." And I shook my head and smiled and thought, "I get it, I get it, I get it." I promised her that she would grow confidence and understanding faster than a Chia Pet grows sprouts–that it was good and normal she felt this way and that this whole experience would help her own her words, her style, her work and be proud of it. I told her that the hurtful words shared had nothing to do with Melina and everything to do with this commenter's pain or insecurities or desire to do what Melina is doing. Within two days, Melina was on a roll again. Wrote a hilarious piece in response to that hurtful criticism and then moved on…fiercely. She's more confident in her writing–I can tell.
For me, receiving negative criticism has been an important tool in self awareness and owning my voice. I've gone from believing what mean comments pointed out (I am a horrible person and I suck at writing), getting angry with the people who wrote them (You are a horrible person and you suck at leaving comments) and doubting if writing publicly was really something I wanted to do to a completely different place of understanding and compassion–both for myself and the people who are hurting enough to project it in a carefully crafted you-are-crap comment. I have a dear friend who has helped me with this. She talks about pain–how we are all hurting–and she helps me see nastiness in the world as the need for more love. Does that sound unicornish? Maybe, but it has helped me move forward and embrace cutting comments both in and outside of this little Internet, as an opportunity to initiate more kindness. We've all been there–the hurting one.
Honesty is important too. It's easy to snap back at nastiness with "Sorry you're so miserable," but it's okay to simply acknowledge that, yep, it feels icky to hear or read bad things about ourselves. Sometimes we need to ask ourselves "Why does this bother me?" and to face the answers that awaken–maybe things that aren't easy to face. Growth follows…Chia Pet growth.
Where does it get you in the end? Well, there is no end. And there shouldn't be because when we lose the ability to have our feelings hurt, we are no longer vulnerable. I love vulnerable art and writing and music and sharing. It's what makes it good.
The risk for citicism for any endeavor we take on is guaranteed. You face it bravely. You own your voice. You learn from the good and the bad and you use it to be better. Bill Cosby said, "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." I love that quote. I'm learning to live that quote, to teach it to my kids. Their happiness depends on it. And it's helped me focus on what I love to do and to navigate the path of "putting myself out there" with confidence.
Tonight, I am happy to share photos that make me smile, reminders of a world rich with things that make us come alive–people and places, sights and scents that draw us away from the other things we share–the stressful stuff. Those things are a given and will naturally emerge.
But sometimes, perfect evenings appear among not-so-perfect lives. Cute boots, optional.
I have some beautiful toilet photos to upload from a five-year-old artist, if you'll excuse me.
Have a wonderful night.

When I talk with advisors about technology solutions for their firms, the conversation is usually focused on specific products, vendors and data interfaces. However, a big part of the equation—the person part—generally doesn't come up in the conversation. When we think about how we deploy technology, we often forget to factor in how we manage the employees who use it day in and day out. Your employees—their skills, their knowledge, their habits and their responsibilities—will have a significant influence on the success of any technology product, initiative or process that you want to introduce in your firm. They are your technology players, and just like a baseball coach or football coach, you need to make sure they are in the right positions. If all of your technology issues fall on the desk of the "tech person" at your firm, then you have some work (and opportunity) in store to improve your technology environment and your overall level of success.
A good place to start with your technology players is to expand the number of people you have involved in your technology environment. Yes, it is appropriate to have specific roles and responsibilities for each individual. For example, one individual might be responsible for reconciling your accounts on a regular basis while another is responsible for handling your rebalancing and trading. Even with these distinct roles, though, it is still very important for employees to work together in a manner that expands their understanding of the entire technology infrastructure of your firm. Do your technology players understand both the upstream and downstream effects of their processes? The expectation is that expanding their knowledge will lead to new ideas and opportunities for efficiency gains. This is particularly important in today's technology environment, which offers many more integration opportunities and products that can address multiple business needs.
When was the last time your technology players switched positions? Do you have employees who have had the same responsibilities year after year? This falls under the heading of cross-training and having individuals who can back up other positions. Taking a step further also involves moving people into new positions from a technology perspective. Sometimes advisors tell me about a new employee who is doing a surprisingly good job of managing a certain technology product right out of the gate. Often the new employee has identified ways to be more efficient compared to the person they replaced, even though they may have less experience. Why is this? The answer is that we often get stale and not very curious or creative in how we use the technology products with which we have the most experience and familiarity. Switching employee positions—whether temporarily or permanently—will help identify new ways to use your existing technology solutions. In fact, before you consider replacing an existing technology solution that is no longer meeting your needs, you might want to think about changing the primary user.
With the move toward cloud computing and remote computer access, a hot topic for advisors is when to consider outsourcing a position or process that is currently the responsibility of an existing employee. This is particularly true for purely technology-based roles like data reconciliation, reporting, IT infrastructure and support. The more important underlying question is whether or not you can use an employee in more critical and productive ways versus their current responsibilities. Of course this can be a very sensitive evaluation, particularly for the employee involved. However, it is possible that you can improve your service in other areas, and the employee will welcome the change and potential new opportunities. Furthermore, whenever an employee is promoted or leaves your firm, it is a perfect time to consider an outsource solution for addressing the responsibilities of this open position.
It is also very important that you encourage your technology players to increase their skills and understanding in their areas of responsibility. This is common sense, of course, but unfortunately it is so easy for day-to-day work to get in the way of this objective. This could be accomplished by attending training sessions, webinars or other conferences and educational events. Product user groups are also a great resource and a forum for sharing best practices. Perhaps the main challenge to improve your employees' technology skills is providing them with the time to work on it. In my experience, if it is not part of their responsibilities or they aren't given the time to do it, it simply doesn't happen. Business as usual will continue, and identifying new ways to become more efficient will be much more challenging.
From your newest to your most tenured employee, they all likely interact with your technology in varying degrees. You also probably have clients and prospects who utilize your technology, whether your own systems or those provided by your business partners. All of these different technology players require attention and resources, in addition to a focus on the technology itself, in order to realize your efficiency goals and objectives.

'You will never see those kids again. Grandma is dead.'
Those angry words were spoken by Jax to Gemma during tonight's edition of 'Sons of Anarchy.' Talk about a vicious shot straight to the heart. Not exactly the stuff of a Hallmark's Mother's Day card.
Right now, Gemma is the clear loser in Tara's outrageous miscarriage scheme. She's on the ropes. Getting pummeled and dominated. But for how long? When will the whole sordid plot blow up in Tara's face?
Or will it?
The scheme, which was iffy from the start, is showing some signs of crackage, just like we knew it would. Wayne is ticked off over how Tara used him to secure the restraining order. And he is appalled by the lengths to which Tara went.
'It breaks my heart that you had to become something so wrong to do something you thought was right,' he tells the sneaky little con artist.
Meanwhile, Gemma is now convinced that Tara was never really pregnant, and Tara's lawyer is clearly put off by her client's shady doings. But the real weak link, of course, is Wendy. She's back to shooting up and is coming real close to shooting off her mouth around Gemma, who tells her that she 'backed the wrong horse' and now has a chance to change her bet.
'I'll make sure Jax doesn't kill you,' Gemma tells Wendy with an ominous deadpan.
There is even a brief sign of weakness on Tara's part. In front of a mirror, she breaks down and cries, but quickly stiffens and tells herself, 'You stop it.' Will she have the same resolve now that Jax is pleading with her to 'let me back in?'
Tara only has to look at District Attorney Tyne Patterson to see how the best-laid plans can go awry. Patterson's been on the war path ever since the school shooting went down in the season opener, pressuring anyone and everyone to give up SAMCRO. But it just ain't working. Her latest target, Nero, pulls a surprise by telling her that he's responsible for putting the KG9 used in the shooting out on the street.
Patterson knows this is total BS, but, initially, she seems ready to nail Nero anyway - just so she can have a public whipping boy. But when Roosevelt confirms that Erin's blood was found in Toric's motel room, she knows she can't, in good consciousness, press her case against Nero and lets him go free.
Some schemes just can't stand up to pressure.
Random thoughts and other developments:
You have to wonder why Nero's loyalty to SAMCRO has been so unwavering. Gemma is the obvious reason, of course. But his brief association with Jax and the guys has brought him nothing but trouble. And if he ever finds out about what really went down in that cabin in the woods, all hell could break loose.I always find it interesting when Jax connects with someone on the common ground of being a parent. When he sees that the hit-and-run driver who killed a Biz Lat was the father of a boy gunned down in the school shooting, everything changes in his mind. He straightens the boy's photo on the book case and murmurs 'I'm sorry' to the father, who is KO'd on the floor. It's a nice little touch that allows us to see that there are tiny shreds of humanity still left in Jax.Though it was oh so brief, I applaud the sequence in which we met the vigilante hit-and-run man. It's one of the few times that we've seen the horrifying effects of the school shooting on someone other than the SAMCRO guys, for whom it's mostly been an inconvenience. And it was important that Jax saw that effect.It's ironic that Tara had to become more like Gemma to take down Gemma.Juice apparently thinks Conner is a 'good guy' and won't cause any problems for the club as it attempts to go legit. Why am I not convinced?RIP, Alice. We hardly knew you. Her fate? 'Chopped, burned and buried' by that Peter Weller guy.Two straight episodes without a trace of Clay! Did you miss him?

Awards, Hot Stove and Meetings, Bloody Meetings
Of course the 2011 AL Cy Young Award went to Justin Verlander and of course it was unanimous. Congratulations and a hearty well deserved to him! For the voting to have gone any other way would have been a crime. Verlander was just plain that dominant this season. However I was quite pleased to see Jered Weaver so solidly in second place in the voting. I think that in most other years Weaver's 2011 performance would have earned him the Cy Young and was thrilled to see him get a subtle bit of recognition for his efforts. Next season, if he can stay away from the flu, who knows what he might accomplish! And I do have to note that I am equally pleased to be among the very few teams that actually handed Verlander a loss this season. The season may have ended with more of a whimper than anything else for the Angels but the team definitely had its moments.
Second proved to be an ongoing theme for Angels this season, with Mark Trumbo also finishing in second in the AL Rookie of the Year voting. Rookie of the Year wasn't nearly so cut and dried as the Cy Young competition this season with many strong rookies in contention. Congratulations to Jeremy Hellickson of the Rays. He is one of several players I would have been pleased to see win this honor. While I certainly think Mark Trumbo was equally worthy, I did expect his lower on base percentage would keep him from actually taking home the award…though that certainly didn't stop the players who faced Trumbo this season from recognizing his difference making bat and the work he's put in at first.
* * * * *
That old hot stove is starting its pre-boil routine with a few unexpected quick deal bubbles rising here and there. And, of course, with the GMs meeting this week it certainly adds to the feeling that we're all waiting. Quietly. Holding our breath. For some. Large. Important. Announcement…that in reality probably isn't coming any time soon. Oh well, even though most years they don't tell us much of anything, the GM meetings always intrigue me. I understand that the format is probably just like the baseball version of any number of other industry conferences, which is to say more than a little dull, but in my mind I always want to make them absolutely fascinating. Like the basic conference format should echo the passion and excitement of the subject matter. I mean, this is baseball after all! Or maybe it's just that after attending so many dull business conferences in the mortgage industry and when I worked in fundraising, I want to live vicariously though someone, even if it's only in my own head. 😀
So, what do you think the GM meetings are like? More like this:
Don't let the cute pajamas fool you. Slumber party politics are often the most vicious. 😉
With the rumors and red herrings that sometimes come out of these meetings, it's clear some sort of fantasy is going on. Maybe it's more like Rick's Café Americain with all manner of secret deals, illicit gambling and other hijinks going on just barely undetected and Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder playing the part of letters of transit…yeah. Yeah! We'll go with that one.

Over the past few years, investors have poured money into ETFs that track below-investment-grade debt indexes, with net inflows in high-yield and senior loan ETFs totaling over $22 billion during the three-year period ending on March 31, according to Bloomberg.
During that stretch, investors in these ETFs fared well due to gradually improving credit conditions, with fixed-rate high-yield investors also benefitting from persistently low interest rates. Looking ahead, however, the inability of index-based high-yield and senior loan ETFs to implement risk management techniques may leave investors exposed to significant risks when credit quality deteriorates or, in the case of high-yield corporate bond ETFs, when interest rates increase.
Unlike actively managed ETFs, most high-yield bond and senior loan index ETFs track passive benchmark indexes that allocate capital based on the market value of index constituents' outstanding debt. In other words, the more indebted a company is, the greater its weight in the ETF's underlying index. While this sort of market-value weighting scheme may be useful for constructing a benchmark index, it's less logical for constructing an investment portfolio, particularly when it comes to risk management. After all, companies that issue more debt are not necessarily better positioned to repay that debt.
Senior loans tend to carry very little interest rate risk since they are typically structured as floating rate instruments whose interest payments increase or decrease based on the movement of a reference rate, such as LIBOR. On the other hand, while high-yield corporate bonds tend to be less sensitive to interest rates than investment-grade bonds, investors should not conclude they are immune from interest rate risk. Wider credit spreads over U.S. Treasuries than investment-grade bonds are the primary reason high-yield bonds tend to be less sensitive to interest rate movements. This, however, does not eliminate interest rate risk, particularly when credit spreads have already substantially narrowed in advance of interest rate increases. In such environments, high-yield bonds may be more sensitive to rising interest rates than investors expect. While active managers may utilize certain tools to mitigate interest rate risk, these tools are generally not utilized by index-based high-yield bond ETFs.
The diversification provided by both high-yield bond and senior loan index ETFs helps to mitigate issuer-specific risk; however, diversification alone is insufficient for managing the credit risk to which investors in these ETFs are exposed. From 1920 to 2011, the average annual default rate for BB- and B-rated bonds was 1.07% and 3.42%, respectively, while the annual default rate for CCC-rated bonds averaged 13.77% over the same time period, according to Moody's. Investors may benefit from owning certain CCC-rated securities due to the relatively high yields such issues may offer, along with potential price appreciation if fundamental improvements are on the horizon. However, in light of the historical volatility associated with CCC-rated credits and their respective default rates, the risk of investing broadly in the lowest quality category of high-yield bonds, without additional credit analysis, typically outweighs the benefits, in our opinion. On the other hand, while index-based approaches have little flexibility in determining portfolio holdings, actively managed ETFs may choose to avoid owning bonds from certain issuers, industries, regions, etc., based on an assessment of overall risk and relative value.
There are many good reasons to include below-investment-grade bonds and senior loans in a well-diversified portfolio. In addition to offering relatively attractive yields, the current environment of modest growth with low default rates and generally sound corporate health supports below-investment-grade credit performance. Moreover, while credit spreads have steadily narrowed over the past 18 months, we believe investors are still being fairly compensated for taking credit risk. Looking forward, however, as economic conditions evolve, investors may benefit from reevaluating positions in these ETFs in favor of actively managed strategies that may be better equipped for risk management.

Red Sox - 312 101 100 - 9 14 0The Sox jumped on Berken (3-10-6-2-3, 68) right away, as Jacoby Ellsbury and Victor Martinez walked, and Kevin Youkilis, Jason Bay (1-0) and Mike Lowell singled (3-0) in the first. Boston finished the season with a 16-2 record against Baltimore.
Orioles - 000 201 000 - 3 9 0
Ellsbury (3-for-4, BB, shown stealing base #63 above) doubled in two runs in the third and homered in the seventh. Bay crushed a dong (#35) in the fourth and was HBP with the bases loaded in the sixth. Alex Gonzalez singled and doubled and scored twice.
Dice (5.1-8-3-1-5, 110) was good enough. His fastball command was spotty throughout the game and he relied more on breaking stuff. He allowed at least one baserunner in each inning, but did not walk a man until the fifth -- his 23rd batter. In fact, he had only three three-ball counts.
The Rangers lost to the Angels 10-5, so the Red Sox's Wild Card lead is now up to eight games. The Mariners lit up Joba and the Yankees 7-1, so Boston is now only 5 GB in the East (four in the loss column).
Tony Massarotti, September 18:
Six games up with 17 to play, the Red Sox once again seem destined for October. Under the circumstances, at the risk of jinxing them, maybe it is time to give the Red Sox their due.Tony, we've been over this. It's okay to say nice things about the Red Sox. Jinxes do not exist. Really.
Why is Nick Green giving himself a haircut?

The Palmengarten botanical gardens were founded by a group of enterprising citizens in the 19th century. A leafy haven in the heart of the city, the gardens are a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. The Tropicarium, an ensemble of 14 modern-looking greenhouses, houses a wealth of tropical and subtropical species. Climates around the world are perfectly simulated here, from the lush green rainforests and monsoon forests to the sultry mangroves and dry desert with giant prickly cacti. Not only is the Tropicarium a great place to learn about nature, but it also illustrates what the climate is like in different parts of our planet. Also worth a visit is the Goethe Garden, which pays homage to Frankfurt's most famous son. The great poet and passionate gardener once wrote an ode to the gingko tree, which is still found in great numbers in the park. The pièce de résistance is the 18-metre-high palm house, the oldest and most famous building in the gardens. This iron structure was designed by architect Friedrich Kaysser and built between 1868 and 1869. It was modelled on the enormous glass palaces built in London in 1846 and in Paris in 1867 for the World's Fair. The exotic wonders contained within have lost none of their original appeal. After the artificial rainfall, sit on a wooden bench overlooked by the towering palm trees and listen to the eerie sound of dripping water in the dark, green-tinged and humid air. You'll feel as if you've been transported to another world – until the screech of a cockatoo brings you back to reality. 'Botany for everyone' provides the theme of hundreds of guided tours and lectures. Nearby attractions: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe came into the world in August 1749 in a house on Grosser Hirschgraben. The rooms in which he spent his childhood and youth are now open to the public as the Goethe House. All in all, there are 13 different museums on the two sides of the river Main in Frankfurt. In summer, people flock to this 'museum embankment' to stroll by the water or to sit and enjoy a coffee.

- For other variants of Garchomp belonging to Cynthia, see Cynthia's Garchomp.
This Garchomp is a Dragon/Ground-type Pokémon owned by Cynthia.
Garchomp is Cynthia's most powerful Pokémon. She debuted in Top-Down Training!, where she battled Lucian's Bronzong on television and won, blocking Flash Cannon with one of her fins and then defeating Bronzong with an incredibly powerful Giga Impact, which normally would not do much damage to a Steel type. She also battled against Paul in the same episode. Paul started with Chimchar who hit Garchomp with Fire Spin before attempting to use Dig. Garchomp used her own Dig attack and then burst out of the ground, still surrounded by Fire Spin, and knocked out Chimchar with one blow. She then endured Weavile's super effective Blizzard, dodged two Ice Beams and defeated Weavile with Dragon Rush. She also used Giga Impact to defeat Murkrow, easily overpowering the Darkness Pokémon's Sky Attack. Finally Paul used Torterra who actually managed to do a fair bit of damage with Giga Drain causing Garchomp to fall to her knees. However, when Torterra attempted to use Frenzy Plant, Garchomp displayed incredible physical strength by blocking all six roots using her fins and shoving them all away before defeating Torterra with a single Brick Break.
Garchomp later appeared when Cynthia was challenged by Aaron, battling his Drapion.
Garchomp also helped battle Team Galactic on two occasions, first when attempting to stop them from stealing the Lustrous Orb and later when preventing them from taking over the Pokémon universe by using the powers of Dialga and Palkia. During that event, Garchomp ambushed Galactic Commander Jupiter, knocking out her Skuntank before restraining her, allowing Cynthia to free Team Galactic's hostages that Jupiter was watching over.
While having a match against Palmer and his Milotic, it used Dragon Claw, but was blocked from making contact by Milotic using Protect. It was then hit by Milotic's Aqua Ring. They simultaneously used Flamethrower and Ice Beam, to which they cancelled each other's attacks.[2]
Garchomp also battled Flint's Infernape when Flint challenged Cynthia for the title of Sinnoh League Champion. Infernape dodged Garchomp's Draco Meteor and attacked with Close Combat. Garchomp smashed Infernape to the ground with Brick Break and then Infernape struck back with Mach Punch before using another Close Combat. Garchomp retaliated with Stone Edge and then intercepted Infernape's Flare Blitz with Dragon Rush creating a huge explosion. When the smoke cleared, Infernape collapsed and Cynthia was announced the winner.
Garchomp also appeared when Cynthia travelled to Unova where she battled Iris' Axew, taking Axew's Scratch and blocking Dragon Rage before almost knocking Axew out with Dragon Rush and Draco Meteor. Axew learned Giga Impact during the battle and actually managed to knock Garchomp off her feet. However Garchomp quickly recovered and would have defeated Axew with Brick Break if Cynthia hadn't called her off at the last moment.
Garchomp was also used during Cynthia's battle with Caitlin, fighting against her Gothitelle. The battle had a one-minute time limit, and Gothitelle was initially able to gain the upper hand by confusing Garchomp with Flatter and then lifting it up in the air with Psychic. However, when Gothitelle threw Garchomp into the air, Garchomp used her feet to propel herself off the ceiling and smashed into Gothitelle with Dragon Rush. She then attempted a Draco Meteor but Gothitelle blocked it by using Thunderbolt to destroy the meteors, creating a fireworks display. The battle ended when the time limit ran out after the two Pokémon's Brick Break attacks collided, resulting in a draw.
Garchomp was also used in the battle against the Kami Trio in Unova's Survival Crisis!. It battles against therian forme Tornadus, but was outmatched, until Meloetta's song calmed the beasts down.

- Katsuyuki Konishi (Japanese and English)
- Cynthia's Garchomp has never been seen losing a battle and is easily one of the most resilient and powerful Pokémon in the anime, rivalling most, if not all Legendary Pokémon. However it was implied that she was defeated when Aaron challenged Cynthia since Cynthia's last Pokémon was Gastrodon.
- Garchomp is often shown to be able to block very powerful attacks using only her fins and although her species is capable of learning the move Protect she obviously doesn't need it since even Frenzy Plant was unable to get past her fins. However it should be noted that all six of the Frenzy Plant roots were coming down at her from above and if they had struck from six different directions at once Garchomp wouldn't have been able to block all of them.
- Interestingly when Garchomp battled Iris' Axew, her Brick Break was used with only her claw whereas in all of her previous uses of the move she used her entire fin. This makes Brick Break look more like Dragon Claw. It is possible that she wasn't using Brick Break at full power, since Axew had already taken severe damage which may have been why only her small (albeit sharp) claw was glowing rather than her massive fin. It is also interesting to note that she used the same variant of Brick Break against Caitlin's Gothitelle.
- For some reason when Garchomp battled Flint's Infernape they appeared on opposite sides of the battlefield from their trainers when Dragon Rush and Flare Blitz collided, suggesting that Garchomp and Infernape had not actually hit each other directly but instead the explosion was caused by friction as they passed each other. Another possibility is that considering Infernape's athletic abilities, it might have somersaulted over Garchomp just before the explosion which could explain why Infernape was still standing for a few seconds after the explosion despite the recoil damage from Flare Blitz and all the previous damage it had taken, since it didn't have to take the full power of the blast. Either way, Garchomp won the battle.

Paper to FPGA
A few weeks ago, I started playing with CARDIAC, the old paper demonstration computer from Bell. I'm wrapping up CARDIAC by moving the Verilog implementation, vtach, over to a real FPGA board. As I mentioned last time, I'm using a Spartan 3 board from Digilent and Xilinx's ISE tools. You can download the entire source tree in the online listings.
I did make a few changes to how vtach works. The Xilinx tools pick up a lot of warnings that Icarus Verilog did not. In addition, in an attempt to simplify the BCD adder, I messed up a corner case that I should have picked up in simulation, but didn't (demonstrating the value of a nice test plan).
The BCD math has turned out to be the weakest link in this entire project. There is enough logic there that I had to clock the CPU at 16MHz to make timing closure. That still allows around 4 million instructions per second, but with a simpler ALU, you could push the timing to be much faster.
Timing closure is one of those seemingly mysterious FPGA terms that you often hear and I often like to talk about it when conducting a job interview. Your FPGA development tool will tell you that you didn't make timing closure or that a timing constraint was not met. But what does that really mean? More importantly, what do you do about it?
The first answer is simple. Consider a D flip flop. Ideally, when the clock transitions, the flip flop matches the Q output to the D input. What if the D input is changing too? That's why flip flops will have a setup time and a hold time.
The setup time is how long the D input should be stable before a clock edge to ensure proper operation. The hold time, not surprisingly, is how long after a clock edge the D input has to remain stable. In other words, the clock edge isn't really a sharp edge, it is a window and the D input needs to stay the same throughout the window for the flip flop to work. If you violate the window, the flip flop can go into a metastable state where it oscillates between 1 and 0 for some time.
Flip flops can go metastable if the clock rise and fall times are too slow, too. Naturally, if you are reading an asynchronous input (like a pushbutton), you might violate the flip flop's setup or hold time (the usual solution is to use several flip flops to synchronize the input to the main clock). However, for timing closure what you are worried about mostly is the delay caused by combinatorial logic.
Imagine you have two D flip flops connected so that the output of the first one feeds the input of the second one through an inverter. At a low clock frequency, the second flip flop will always have time for the signal from the first flip flop to reach its input. But as the clock frequency increases, the delay through the inverter (and the interconnection) can become significant.
As an impractical example, suppose the flip flops had a setup and hold time of 1uS (ridiculously large, by the way). The first implication is that the clock edges can't come in faster than 2uS (500kHz) or else the windows will overlap and there will be no safe time for the input to change.
Now imagine the inverter had an equally improbably delay of 2uS. At 500kHz the clock would have a new edge before the output of the first flip flop reached the second one from the last edge. You'd have to reduce the clock even further.
If your clock is going faster than the delays in your circuit, you didn't meet timing closure. The second answer — what to do about it — is harder to answer. The obvious answer is to reduce your clock speed. The other thing to do is find the long delay paths in your combinatorial logic and try to optimize them in some way. The tool's timing reports will identify the longest paths, but exactly how you optimize them is the trick. Sometimes you can do things in parallel that you were doing in series (the hardware equivalent of picking a smarter software algorithm). Another trick is to use a faster clock and break the operation up into smaller pieces.
Since most people use the tools to place and route, you can also try to tweak the tool's settings — most of them can attempt to optimize speed or gate density, and optimizing for speed can make a difference. If you are really hardcore, you can use floor-planning tools or even physical editors to layout critical paths and gates yourself if you really think you can do a better job than the automated tools.
That's timing closure in a nutshell. With vtach, I simply dropped the clock speed to make closure. The board has a 50MHz clock but the Spartan chip has several delay locked loops (DLLs) that let you modify the clock up or down in frequency. Unfortunately, the lowest it can take the 50MHz clock is 18MHz. I really needed to run at 16MHz, so the top.v module uses a DLL set to 32MHz and then divides it in half:
always @(posedge clkls) clkdiv<=~clkdiv; // Divide clock by 2
It is usually a bad idea to do anything with the clock directly like this. The FPGA has special clock resources and if you put too much logic on the clock, the tool may be unable to allocate those resources for the generated clock. This simple divider and relatively low speed presents no problems for this approach, however.
The structure of the Verilog is the same as before, so if you want to sift through the online listings, you should recognize most of the code (except where I made bug fixes). The new or changed parts include:
- display.v — I borrowed the LED display driver from one of my other CPUs, Blue, and modified it to handle vtach's negative numbers.
- debounce.v — Another modified import from Blue, this module debounces and synchronizes the push buttons.
- memory.v — Instead of an array of Verilog registers, I used the Xilinx block RAM feature for memory in this version of vtach.
- io_input.v, io_output.v — Obviously the simulated input and output had to change to accommodate the real hardware.
- alu.v — In addition to adding I/O instructions, the main execution unit had to wire in the I/O devices.
- top.v — The major change to the main module was to manage the clock.
The memory deserves a closer look. Languages like Verilog and VHDL look like programming languages, but they aren't. They are really requirements languages. When you write something like:
always @(posedge clkls) clkdiv<=~clkdiv; // Divide clock by 2
The tool infers that you need a D flip flop that has its input driven by its own output inverted (oddly enough, almost the same circuit I used when talking about timing closure). It might also realize that this is really a T flip flop and, if it has those in its toolbox, it might use one or it might build one out of D flip flops or whatever other building blocks it has available.
The point is that the tool tries to develop an understanding of what you want to do and then maps it to circuitry. That's why you can write this line of code in digitadd.v:
assign temp={1'b0,a}+{1'b0,b}+{4'b0, cyin};
The plus sign here causes the tool to infer an adder (which is a whole slew of AND, OR, and XOR gates). In fact, the FPGA probably doesn't have any of those available, so it might build a look up table to implement the logic (basically a ROM that maps address inputs to data outputs). Some FPGAs have special adding hardware and the tool might choose to map to that instead.
One of the many things the tools look for is patterns that appear to define memory. However, when you are working with a specific chip like a Spartan, you may want to take control of how the memory is set up instead of trying to describe it with Verilog. Xilinx gives you a core generator that lets you build resources for memory, clock generators, and many other on-chip features. You can also just load in "libraries" (what FPGA people call IP or Intellectual Property) that provide features you licensed from a vendor.

Despite the fact that the House of Representatives passed HR 2374, also known as the Wagner bill, by a 254-166 vote late Tuesday afternoon, the Senate Banking Committee has "no interest" in taking up such legislation, a Democratic Banking Committee aide told ThinkAdvisor.
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Johnson, D-S.D., "will keep working with his colleagues on the committee's top priorities – housing finance reform and Janet Yellen's nomination to be chairman of the Federal Reserve – rather than focusing on bills the president clearly has no interest in signing into law."
Indeed, the Office of Management and Budget released a statement Monday that President Barack Obama's senior advisors would recommend that he veto H.R. 2374, the Retail Investor Protection Act, introduced by Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo. That bill would require the DOL to wait to repropose its fiduciary rule until 60 days after the SEC issues its fiduciary proposal under Section 913 of the Dodd-Frank Act.
Phyllis Borzi, assistant secretary of Labor for the Employee Benefits Security Administration, said Tuesday at the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries' annual conference in National Harbor, Md., that it was "entirely possible" that the DOL's fiduciary reproposal could be at the Office of Management and Budget by year-end.
"We are coming very close to finishing our work" on the reproposed rule, Borzi told the conference attendees. The "conflicts of interest rule," she continued, is DOL's "highest priority."
Fiduciary advocates were quick to come out against Wagner's bill. After news of House passage, the Financial Planning Coalition urged the Senate to "reject" H.R. 2374, which the groups said was "an investor protection bill in name only." In reality, the coalition said, "it is a 'back door' attempt to undermine investor protection provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act and prevent the SEC and DOL from requiring advisors to put investors' interests ahead of their own."
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., ranking member on the House Financial Services Committee said Wagner's bill "undermines" the new federal protections put in place by Dodd-Frank, which ensures "that financial advisors recommending products like 401(k)s and IRAs only do so with their customers' best interests in mind – not their own profit margins. And [Dodd-Frank] ensures those that do not are held liable."
The Retail Investor Protection Act, Waters continued, puts "obstacles in the way" of efforts to prevent "self-dealing."
"While some members of Congress have expressed concern that the process of finalizing these protections has been challenging, this bill is not the solution," she said.
Knut Rostad, president of the Institute for the Fiduciary Standard, said that House passage of Wagner's bill "represents Washington at its worst: Bipartisan agreement that Wall Street brokerage firms need regulatory protection from individual investors seeking objective advice."
The rationale for H.R. 2374, Rostad said, "is based on the myth that only full-service and conflicted brokers serve small investors and the marketplace is incapable of providing unconflicted advice or ethical guidance to small investors. The millions of smaller or moderate investors who receive advice or guidance today from discount brokers, Web-based advisors or RIAs who cater to smaller investors, do not, according to this myth, exist today."

Genetically modified pineapple grown in Costa Rica by Del Monte Fresh Produce Co. Inc. gained the approval of the U.S. Department of Agriculture earlier this year.
However, according to a statement from Del Monte officials April 26, the new pineapple variety dubbed Rose is "in a testing phase."
"The USDA"s decision does not mean that Rose is in commercial distribution it is in a testing phase. Del Monte intends to continue to test Rose and will communicate more details when appropriate," according to the statement from Dennis Christou, vice president of marketing in North America for the Coral Gables, Fla., produce company.
"Del Monte Fresh Produce has a very active research and development program designed to explore new varieties and new agricultural techniques. The results of these research projects may or may not lead to commercialization depending on many factors including regulatory approvals by the relevant governmental authorities where and when applicable."
Del Monte officials wrote to the USDA"s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service in July 2012 seeking approval for its patent-pending Rose pineapple. Michael Gregoire, deputy administrator of biotechnology regulatory services at APHIS responded with the agency"s OK on Jan. 25, but the response was not made public until late April.
Before the new pineapple can be imported to the U.S., Del Monte must complete a food safety consultation with the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA"s website listing approved consultations did not show any pineapple reqults as of April 26.
"APHIS confirms that the harvested Del Monte Rose pineapple as described in your documentation does not require an importation or interstate movement permit under (federal code)," according to Gregoire"s letter.
"… fruit from the Del Monte Rose pineapple cultivar does not have the ability to propagate and persist in the environment once they have been harvested."
In its request to APHIS, Del Monte described the new pineapple variety as having rose-colored flesh.
"To achieve its novel fruit color, Del Monte Fresh has altered expression of genes involved in lycopene biosynthesis to increase levels in edible tissues of pineapple fruit," according to Del Monte"s request. "The genes of interest are derived from edible plant species, pineapple and tangerine."
Various Costa Rican media report the Coral Gables, Fla.-based fresh produce company has been working with Costa Rican growers to develop the new pineapple variety since 2005. When the Costa Rican government OK"d expanded plantings in 2011, some environmental groups in the country expressed concerns.
According to its letter to APHIS, 65% of the pineapple Del Monte imports to the U.S. is sold to the fresh sector. Another 15% goes to fresh cut, with the remainder going to juice and frozen products. The new genetically modified variety would be sold in the same channels and at about the same percentages as Del Monte Gold pineapple, according to the letter.
The 2012 financial report from Del Monte showed about a third of the company"s fresh produce sales are from commodities grown in Costa Rica.

They do!
"The Talk's" Sara Gilbert, 39, and musician Linda Perry, 48, married on Sunday.
Though Gilbert is currently on her honeymoon, "The Talk" co-host Aisha Tyler described the ceremony on Monday's episode of the gab fest as having taken place "at sunset and overlooking the ocean."
Actress Juliette Lewis also spoke about the union in a tweet. "Holiday by Madonna playin, sun is beaming,gettin ready 4 the wedding of 1of my fave couples in the universe @RealLindaPerry @THEsaragilbert," she wrote.
Gilbert and Perry, a songwriter and music producer, began dating in 2011. Gilbert announced their engagement — which followed an elaborate proposal staged by Perry during a picnic at an L.A. park — in April 2013 on an episode of "The Talk."
[Related: All the Details of Sara Gilbert's Romantic Proposal]
"It was the most amazing proposal ever," Gilbert gushed at the time.
The former "Roseanne" star shares two children, 9-year-old son Levi and daughter Sawyer, 6, with her former partner of a decade, "Glee" producer Allison Adler. However, she only came out as gay in June 2010.
Gilbert thanked her supporters when she announced her engagement.
"I happened to be talking about gay marriage and I thank you all for your support on that issue," she shared. "That was before I had any idea about any of this. I'm super shy and don't usually want to tell anything… but I wanted you guys to know because I feel like you're a part of our family here."
On Monday, another co-host of "The Talk," Julie Chen, teased that the newlywed will offer more details when she returns to the show. Stay tuned…
