Reference > Brewer’s Dictionary > Reason.

 Rear-mouse or Rere-mouse.Rebec’ca.
E. Cobham Brewer 1810–1897. Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. 1898.
The Goddess of Reason, November 10th, 1793. Mlle. Candeille, of the Opéra, was one of the earliest of these goddesses, but Mme. Momoro, wife of the printer, the Goddess of Liberty, was the most celebrated. On November 10th a festival was held in Notre Dame de Paris in honour of Reason and Liberty, when women represented these “goddesses.” Mlle. Candeille wore a red Phrygian cap, a white frock, a blue mantle, and tricolour ribbons. Her head was filleted with oak-leaves, and in her hand she carried the pike of Jupiter-Peuple. In the cathedral a sort of temple was erected on a mound, and in this “Temple of Philosophy” Mlle. Candeille was installed. Young girls crowned with oak-leaves were her attendants, and sang hymns in her honour. Similar installations were repeated at Lyons and other places. (See LIBERTY, Goddess of.)   1
        Mlle. Maillard, the actress, is mentioned by Lamartine as one of these goddesses, but played the part much against her will.
        Mlle. Aubray was another Goddess of Reason.

Passing the torch (Mullings the next big thing?)

I've never seen another player take an offensive rebound away from Wendell McKines.

But it happened on Saturday in NMSU's victory over Louisiana Tech. But it wasn't a La. Tech player. It was freshman guard Daniel Mullings.

"On one particular play, I felt like, 'I'm about to get the ball.' And I guess he felt that way too and he took the ball away from me," McKines said.

Although they play different positions, Mullings reminds me of a young McKines in terms of energy level, athletic ability, a non-stop motor and an opportunity to contribute as freshmen.

"I have always had and he's always had it," Mullings said. "People are born with it, just that want for the ball. We are similar in that facet of the game, especially when it comes to rebounds. It's just a knack for the ball that we both have. That's good for the team. It's an extra possession and a lot of times, people aren't willing to put their body on the line for that possession. It's good for you if you have one person on the team like that but we have multiple, especially at different possessions."

One difference perhaps is that Mullings has an opportunity to play a larger role to the Aggies' success as a freshman than McKines, who played on a senior laden team that had just been to the NCAA Tournament. Fellow freshman Herb Pope also got more involved as the season went one. McKines started 12 games as a freshman, playing 18.7 minutes per game in 35 appearances and still averaged 6.4 ppg and 5.9 rpg.

McKines sees a bit of  himself in Mullings and genuinely seems to like the freshman from Toronto. Against La. Tech, I noticed McKines pulling Mullings aside on two or three occassions during timeouts.

"He just has that extra energy, extra effort for the ball and not taking no for an answer," McKines said. "And I'm going to get this play done whether you like it or not. I definitely see that in him. I tell him little things, even if it's in the heat of battle that I think can help him. Hopefully he takes it."

McKines and senior point guard Hernst Laroche are two players who Mullings can certainly take advantage of in terms of experience, just as McKines was able to learn from Justin Hawkins, Fred Peete, Hatila Passos etc.

"Especially being in the starting lineup and practicing with them everyday," said Mullings, who will make his 15th start on Thursday at Idaho. "A lot of times, they take me aside. I am a freshman so a lot of times I make a lot of mistakes. They will give me little pointers here and there for future reference that will help me out and help the team out."

Mullings is averaging 8.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals on the season. He's stood out here and there this year (eight straight points to put La. Tech away, 17 points while shutting Utah State's Preston Medlin down) but he's still a freshman.

Mullings is shooting 48 percent from the floor, but he's obviously much better around the basket than his jump shot. He's shooting 27 percent from 3-point range and often passes open shots. In the past two games, he's shooting 67 percent from the floor, averaging 15.5 points while providing the perimeter defense that he's played all year.

McKines has turned into the player we see thanks to individual work in the offseason. From all accounts, Mullings is a humble person with a similar work ethic. He also has Tony Delk to learn from in the offseason.

"My jump shot being consistent and getting used to taking shots and being confident in it," he said. "I'm looking forward to this offseason, especially with coaches and Coach Delk. Just having more reps and shooting, taking jumpers and being more confident and comfortable shooting."

Fellow Canadian native Christian Kabongo described Mullings as "oxygen" coming off the bench. McKines described him after one game as "My favorite player."

Takes one to know one.

JY went into BSU his freshman year and scored 33. Mullings needs to do that at Moscow tonite. Then I'll say, yeah, Okay he's the second coming of Wendell. Hopefully he doesn't realize how big this game is and he'll go lights out! DM has that kind of game in him if the Aggies can't score.

Anonymous said...

Just think of the kind of tandem the Kabongo and Mullings would have made next year. Too bad Kabongo never figured out the team game.

Thats what Im talking about!!!! Love to see some energy especially competative hustle from the younger guys.

Awesome post

Oh well, Nevada won anyway. Now this loss to the Vandals turns out to be a good one because the Aggies never exorcised the demons from the UTEP loss that ruined their season (to that point). Now they can confront whatever is going on in so called "winning" time before Las Vegas WAC tourney. Did Charlie Sheen hire on as their sports psychologist recently?

A Vancouver mom is filing a complaint with the Vancouver Police Department after her teenage daughter was arrested at a concert and ended up with a broken arm and severed tendons that needed surgery.

Chas Coutlee says she wants police to answer how her 17-year-old daughter Tanika could be so seriously injured after an arrest that resulted in no charges outside the Pacific Coliseum.

“I’m upset because I’m frustrated she was hurt,” said Coutlee. “My daughter might have a little bit of an attitude but I’ve never broken her arm over it.”

Tanika Coutlee was inside the all-ages Calvin Harris concert on March 30. Her two friends bought tickets from scalpers that weren’t accepted at the door.

Coutlee says security allowed her out of the venue to say goodbye to them at about 10:30 p.m. that night, but then didn’t allow her back in.

“I said ‘I paid for this, I paid over $100, I’m getting back in.’ They pushed me out,” she told CTV News. “Before I knew it I had my arms tied behind my back, I was lifted off the ground, and I started freaking out.”

Coutlee, who says she weighs about 100 pounds, fought back against the security guards and then the police joined the fray. She was put face-down on the pavement and then lifted up by a police officer. That’s when she said the injury happened.

She was taken into custody at the venue and police called her mom to pick her up. When the pair walked away from the Pacific Coliseum Tanika Coutlee says she complained that there was something wrong with her arm.

The arm swelled up and bruised the next day. She visited a doctor at Royal Columbian Hospital, who said she had a broken arm with ripped tendons that required surgery.

Vancouver Police won’t talk about what happened to a minor, but they did acknowledge that they had several incidents involving intoxicated young people at the event. Ambulances were present for more severe cases, said spokesman Const. Brian Montague.

Montague said he would like the family to complain to them so that the force can investigate what happened with their professional standards department.

“The allegations I’m hearing are concerning to us,” he said.

Tanika Coutlee said she had four shots of alcohol about an hour before the incident, but denied that she was drunk and out of control.

“I was coherent,” she said. “I was completely reasonable until they put their hands on me…They used excessive force. No matter how aggressive I might have been they didn’t have to break my arm.”

BC Civil Liberties Association President Josh Paterson said police are able to deal with drunk people without causing serious injury.

“Even if someone is upset, certainly, when there’s this kind of injury produced by an interaction with police it raises serious questions for us about the amount of force that was used and whether that was appropriate,” Paterson said.

Coutlee says she will not be able to teach gymnastics or work on school art projects until she recovers from surgery.

The Council of State, 1649-60

The Council of State was appointed by the Rump Parliament after the execution of King Charles and the abolition of the Monarchy and House of Lords. As the executive body of the Commonwealth under the direction of the House of Commons, its duties were to implement domestic and foreign policy and to ensure the security of the nation.

Members of the Council were initially nomintated by a small parliamentary committee (Thomas Scot, Edmund Ludlow, Luke Robinson, John Lisle, Cornelius Holland) early in February 1649 and the list was submitted to Parliament for approval. Forty-one councillors were nominated, thirty-four of whom were MPs. Even though Parliament had voted to abolish the House of Lords, five peers were nominated to the Council of State. The other two non-parliamentary nominees were the magistrates John Bradshaw and Henry Rolle. Henry Marten's objection to the nominations of the earls of Salisbury and Pembroke to the Council was overruled, but the nominations of the radical soldier-MPs Henry Ireton and Thomas Harrison were rejected.

After a brief period when Cromwell acted as chairman, the first President of the Council of State was John Bradshaw, appointed in March 1649. Elections for the Council of State were held every year throughout the Commonwealth period.

Following the ejection of the Rump Parliament by Oliver Cromwell in April 1653, a ten-member Council of State (later extended to thirteen) acted as an interim government until the inauguration of the Nominated Assembly in July 1653. After the Assembly resigned its powers to Cromwell in December, the Council of State was re-modelled under the Instrument of Government when it became the Lord Protector's privy council with powers to issue ordinances that were legally binding pending ratification by Parliament. Between thirteen and twenty-one councillors were elected by Parliament to advise the Protector, who was also appointed by Parliament. The original members of the Council of State held their places for life.

The Council of State was modified again under the Humble Petition and Advice (1657), which increased Cromwell's power and authorised him to choose twenty-one privy councillors himself. The Council lost its powers to name the Protector's successor, to make declarations of war or peace (both of which went to the Protector) and to dismiss MPs from Parliament. Members of the Council were to be nominated by the Protector and approved by Parliament.

The reinstatement of the Rump Parliament and the subsequent resignation of Richard Cromwell brought the Protectorate to an end in May 1659. A 31-member Council of State was elected on 19 May with wider-ranging powers than the Protectorate Council. A majority of its members was opposed to military rule, which led to friction with high-ranking officers. Parliament was again forcibly dissolved by the Army in October 1659, leaving the Council of State as the sole legal constitutional authority until it was dissolved by order of the Council of Officers and superseded by the Committee of Safety on 25 October 1659. However, nine members of the Council of State, headed by Thomas Scot, Sir Arthur Hesilrige and Anthony Ashley Cooper, continued to meet in secret and to agitate for the restoration of Parliament and a civilian republic.

Two months later, with General Monck threatening to march from Scotland in support of Parliament, General Fleetwood once again restored the Rump Parliament to power (26 December 1659). Elections were held for a new 31-member Council of State which held office until 21 February 1660 when the MPs excluded by Pride's Purge in 1648 were re-admitted. The fully restored Long Parliament voted to call an election, then dissolved itself on 16 March. A new Council of State governed the nation between the dissolution of the Long Parliament and the meeting of the Convention Parliament on 25 April 1660. The Council continued to sit for another month and initiated proceedings against the regicides. It was finally dissolved on 28 May 1660 when King Charles II arrived in London.

I would right a book about a... I give up. I dunno I think faeries are interesting or probably something dealing with greek mythology or maybe something dealing with real life. Man, i suck.

haha yeah it took me forever to come up with an idea :) but now im on a roll lol

I'm up for the challenge, Sadie. I know that it's not NaNoWriMo anymore, but next year I want to write more then I did this year. (*last year) My total word count was only 30, 071 words... And I'm up for the challenge that if you and I (me and Sadie Scott) lived in the same state, we could write a book together.

p.s. I wrote a novel about a human-eating mermaid that gets captured and put into a water tank. ; )

Oh yeah that would be so cool and yeah same here I wrote around 31000 so I want to write more. Your book sounds cool! I wanted to write about mermaids because I believe in them lol. I wrote about a girl who's sister was murdered and then the killer came after her.....it came out better then I was expecting so I'm excited for next year!!!
That sounds so cool! I have no idea what I'm going to do next year. I'm probably going to do something like Divergent, or maybe Beautiful Creatures. Normally, my novels are based off of multiple books combined.
Yeah same here like I wrote a short story and it was like the shadow falls series but ya know with twists here and there and my teacher really enjoyed it. The book I'm working on now is about a mental patient who escapes and falls in love (yeah my style of writing can be disturbing lol)
Actually, that sounds REALLY cool... In my book, the men and women are separated for most of the time (once every month) and each family has their own number, tattooed onto their skin. The men wear white, and the women wear black
Oh thanks I don't know where I get my ideas lol they just come to me haha but I like he style of ur writing.... It sounds really interesting and really cool. We basically have the same style of writing :) I'm not a big violence writer so some of the more violent scenes are a little lame lol but I read a lot so that helps. Can I run something by u? Ok it's part if the mental patient story. So she runs away and then falls in love but does this sound good.... The guy doesn't know she is insane and when they catch her and bring he back he goes in like denial and his love is so strong he follows her back but gets trapped and ends up going insane too. How does that sound cause then it would end like that and he might end up going so crazy that he kills her but that might be too much what do u think?
NaNoWriMo is an online competion where you have to write a 50 000 word novel in the month of November. You can't start before November, and the novel has to be original. There is also a kids program where you can choose your own goal. I did that because I can't write 50 000 words. My word count goal was 30 000, so 1000 words a day
you shoul post your story on quotev.com

you should post your story on quotev.com

What the heck is that?????!!!!!

Located at the centre of Brussels, The Grand Place is a vibrant

monument that serves as a wonderful shopping parade, with cafeterias and theatres.

The Atomium (Square de l'Atomium) is an oxygen molecule-shaped statue and it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Brussels, especially among school children. The huge spheres resemble atoms are actually hotels, cafes, sleep areas and playgrounds for kids. On clear sky days, the scenery is breathtaking offering views till Antwerp.  This is a little way from the city centre so opt for Brussels car hire to take the strain out of the trip.

Internet Explorer 10 Release Preview for Windows 7 first-impressions review

When Microsoft first announced that Internet Explorer 10 would be part of Windows 8 most users assumed that this would also mean a release of the browser for the version 7 operating system. The first version of Internet Explorer 10 was released publicly with Windows 8's Developer Preview back in 2011, and then updated whenever new versions of preview builds released. Microsoft at that time was tight lipped about the future of IE10 for Windows 7

October 2012 came and brought along Windows 8's launch. It was in the week prior to the release of Windows 8 that the company shed some light on the future of IE10 for Windows 7. A blog post indicated that Microsoft had plans to release a  preview version for Windows 7 in November 2012.

Internet Explorer 10 Preview for Windows 7 released today for 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the operating system, and for 64-bit editions of Windows Server 2008 R2.

System Requirements

  • 32-bit or 64-bit edition of Windows 7 SP1 or 64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
  • At least 512 Megabyte of RAM
  • At least 70 / 120 / 200 Megabyte of hard drive space
  • At least 1 GHz processor

Installation and uninstallation

The installation of Internet Explorer 10 Preview will replace the current version of the browser on the system. A restart is required before the new version becomes available.

Note that it is possible to uninstall IE10 again on a system it has been installed on. To uninstall the browser do the following:

  1. Click on the Start button.
  2. Type Programs and Features in the search box and select it from the results.
  3. Select View installed updates from the sidebar.
  4. Locate Windows Internet Explorer 10 under Microsoft Windows.
  5. Right-click the entry and select uninstall.
  6. Select Yes when prompted if you really want to uninstall the program.
  7. Restart the PC right then or at a later point to complete the removal.

What's New

Internet Explorer 10 is nearly identical to the version of the browser that Microsoft released for Windows 8. The core difference: is: Adobe Flash is not natively integrated into the Windows 7 / Windows Server 2012 version.

Both Internet Explorer 10 versions on Windows 8 include a built-in version of Adobe Flash, which is especially important for the Modern UI version of the browser as it does not support browser plugins. Microsoft circumvented this restriction with the direct implementation of  Flash in Internet Explorer 10.

Web standards support appears to be identical in both versions of IE10. The Internet Explorer blog notes that the following improvements have been made over previous versions of the browser:

Rich Visual Effects: CSS Text Shadow, CSS 3D Transforms, CSS3 Transitions and Animations, CSS3 Gradient, SVG Filter Effects

Sophisticated Page Layouts: CSS3 for publication quality page layouts and application UI (CSS3 grid, flexbox, multi-column, positioned floats, regions, and hyphenation), HTML5 Forms, input controls, and validation

Enhanced Web Programming Model: Better offline applications through local storage with IndexedDB and the HTML5 Application Cache; Web Sockets, HTML5 History, Async scripts, HTML5 File APIs, HTML5 Drag-drop, HTML5 Sandboxing, Web workers, ES5 Strict mode support.

The browser scores 320 and 6 points in the HTML5test, an indicator of how well browsers support the HTML5 standard. That's an increase of more than 200 points over Internet Explorer 9. IE10 is still trailing behind other browsers in the test. Google Chrome 23 for instance scores 448 + 13 points in the test, and Firefox 16 372 and 10.

Internet Explorer 10 is the first browser that ships with Do Not Track enabled by default. The feature informs websites and services the browser connects to that users do not want to be tracked. The default nature of the feature in IE10 has been controversially discussed as the Do No Track specification requires users to make the decision. Yahoo as a consequence announced that it would ignore Internet Explorer 10's Do Not Track header.

IE10 on Windows 7 may run faster than comparable web browsers in select benchmarks. Microsoft claims for instance that Internet Explorer 10 is two times as fast as Google Chrome 23 and 20 percent faster than Firefox 16 in the Mandelbrot benchmark available on Microsoft's Test Drive website.

The browser does not perform as well in other benchmarks. Its score of 5134 in Google's Octane benchmark is beaten by Firefox 19's 9031, and Google Chrome 23's 12975. Mozilla's Kraken benchmark paints a similar picture. Firefox and Google Chrome need roughly the same execution time of around 2200ms, while Internet Explorer 10 three times at much with 6800ms.

IE10 performs better when running applications and demos on Microsoft's Internet Explorer Test Drive site. It is somewhat surprising that Google Chrome usually comes in last in these benchmarks, while Internet Explorer 10 and Firefox finish in close proximity to each other.

Closing Words

Microsoft released Internet Explorer 10 as a preview version and it should be handled as such. While it is possible to uninstall the browser on the system to revert to the previous version of Internet Explorer, it is not suited for production environments, even though there does not appear to be any -- visible -- difference between the preview version for Windows 7 and the final version on Windows 8.

Microsoft managed to close a large part of the performance and web standards support gap between previous versions of Internet Explorer and third-party browsers such as Chrome, Firefox or Opera with the release of IE10.

Thinking ahead about the festival

It has been a while since I last uploaded a post. I am currently in Thimphu, Bhutan. Tomorrow is the big Asia Pacific Forestry Commission conference that Bhutan is hosting, and at the helm of the organizers is Kinley Tshering, a UM alumni.  Just yesterday Tempa and I saw off our advisor and friend Dr. Scott Mills (from UM WBIO) at the Paro airport.  He is following his wife Lisa and kids Nick and Linnea who have all been here for about 5 months or so, enjoying every minute of their stay here (their words).

Well, we have been busy for a while - an international conference and workshop on wildlife monitoring techniques at the Ugyen Wangchuck Institute for Conservation and Environment (UWICE) that brought a lot of folks from UM here; then a quick sojourn into the mountains with Scott to look for snow leopard scat; launching Bhutan's first Ecological Society - well, that's quite a few.

I have been thinking about the Chilies and Happiness festival this year. We would like to continue the tradition but this year Passang and I will be the only Bhutanese (the real ones - I know there are many of you who are almost Bhutanese) around. I think it might make sense to hold the event in September - many people feel October gets a bit chilly (cold chilly, not ema chilly).

I am sure all of you who are in Missoula are enjoying the great Missoula Summer. I will try to upload a post once in a while.

Till then.

Mission Mountains

I thought this blog would probably stay dormant until close to the time of the next Chilies and Happiness festival in 2010. Then again, I thought why not put up occasional updates and thoughts in case anybody is reading it.

Yesterday, I took Passang (Journalism MA student from Bhutan) to Flathead lake before highway I-93 gets all snowed in and not so pleasant to drive on. When my family was here we used to drive up several times, to visit Flathead lake and Polson, Glacier National Park, and for skiing in Big Mountains in Whitefish - and to visit friends who live around there. The Buddhist center in Arlee (EWAM) is a nice stop on the way. My wife and I love the drive past Arlee, especially by St. Ignatius, where you can get a beautiful view of the Mission Mountains.

We had lunch at EWAM and then proceeded to Polson, where we visited with an old friend and had some chai. Passang and I went by the lake and met with a group of very enthusiastic elderly folks fishing. They were very eager to show us their bounty of lake trout. It was fun chatting with them, and talking about Bhutan, and listening to their fishing stories - everybody has one, right?  On the way back, this is what we saw (picture above) - the reason why this is indeed one of my favorite drives! It reminds me of the drive in Tibet, right after you cross the Everest region, and on the way towards Nepal. That is another scenic drive my wife and I were on a few years back.

Success! Thank You All

Way to go everyone! Thanks for all the help and teamwork. While it was a bit windy (and therefore no bonfire), the event was a total success! We had a very good turnout, and everyone was very happy, thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere, music, food and games. I am glad we had enough food for everyone. And the hot chai was perfect for the cold afternoon. There are so many people to thank, that I will not list the names here, but we do thank you all. I will figure out a way to share the pictures and finally put up a vlog on YouTube very soon. Keep an eye out for that. Thanks everyone for a great day!!!

Back in Missoula Again - Ready to Go!

Yes, I am finally back in Missoula. Great to see that Mary Nellis from FSSS has all the food organization under control. Everybody else has also pitched in to get things going. Passang and Neil, with Robyl, has the arch underway (I just saw it today at the farm); Ari and everyone else have been busy with the flyers and handbills - and we are already getting a lot of questions about the venue, time etc. (they should really read the flyers and handbills! - but we are happy to oblige of course). Ellen's ready with the Costco card to get purchases done Friday with help from Jeanne, Mary and many helpers. And the Bhutanese are all set to put on a good show on Saturday. Josh (PEAS Director) also put in a phone call for some archery equipment - looks like its all coming together. Oh, we also got an offer of venison contribution (true Montana meat) from a well wisher. There's a lot of updating to do, I know. And I have been lost in my travels and work. But I WILL definitely put up more pictures of the days to come, and finally will put up a vlog of the event!

We had an update meeting today at 5:00. Thanks for coming - we took stock of what we have so far, and what else needed to be done. Best of all - no stress. We want this to be an enjoyable process. Its all about fun after all.

Keep up the good work. 2 more days ONLY till the big day!

Falling behind

Sorry about the delay in posting the last couple of days. I was traveling, and now I am in New York for a series of meetings and such things. Mary Nellis had already checked out kitchen space etc. and Ugen and Neil were asking around for information on the arch. That's all good. We need to get moving. I have responded to Mary by email on the kitchen. Regarding the arch, you all should get in touch with Robl and I will send you his phone number and have him give you a call as well. More to come soon.

What lies ahead

Props to all who could make it to the Oval yesterday, and to those who were there in spirit. Apart from the two girls and a guy 'funny dancing' near the grizzly, the background music was alright. But, we did manage to get the following sorted out, in terms of dividing responsibility:
1. Food - Sangay Wangchuk and Mary Nellis
2. Welcome arch - Ugyen Namgyel and Niel Larubbio (plus Rob Lindig)
3. Sports - Passang Norbu and Wangchuk Dorji (plus Robl and Ari?)
4. Transport and Mobility - Ellen Cheng/Robl
5. Music and Sound - Tshering and James Randall?
6. Publicity - Ari LeVaux and Tshewang Wangchuk
7. Prayer flag printing - the Bhutanese ladies
8. Bon fire - TBA
9. Overall coordination - Ari, Tshewang

Hope this covers most of what needs to be done. Dr. Sarah Halverson suggested we subdivide the Food group into 'Harvesters' and 'Preparators.' I think that is a good idea as we will have to coordinate with Josh about the harvests. But we leave it up to the Food group. Thanks Sarah for announcing the event in your class.

If there is anything, please leave comments below.

I am looking to replace the stock saddle of an old cannondale bad boy jekyll with something more comfortable. The local store tells me that since cannondale does not produce their own saddles, I should buy a third party saddle from them. Is this true? Can anyone recommend a saddle, cannondale or otherwise, that will be more comfortable yet is still forward angled and not too wide?

Saddles are personal. There is no way for anyone to give you a good and reliable recommendation that can be guaranteed.

Cannondale, like most manufacturers, buys and rebrands saddles from other companies. The stock saddle will be very basic, usually, and replacing is usually a good idea.

Third party saddle will have no problem fitting on your bike, and I would recommend you speak to the guys at your LBS and let them recommend a good saddle for your riding style and body type.

They know you, and any specific saddle we suggest would be know more than a general guess.

I hope that helps.

Thank you. Regardless of the type/style, is there a brand you can recommend? –  adayzdone Apr 24 '12 at 15:04

    World Bank cuts China's growth estimate to 7.7% by Chris Oliver

    HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- The World Bank on Monday lowered its 2012 growth forecast for China to 7.7% from its estimate in May of 8.2%, citing weakening growth in domestic demand and slowing investment as Beijing implemented austerity measures to cool the real estate market. The Washington-based organization said monetary policy easing this year along with new stimulus measures "could again reverse this trend in months to come." The World Bank also lowered its outlook for developing Asia to 7.2% from its May forecast of 7.6%.

    Deutsche Bank downgrades India's Hero MotoCorp by Kristene Quan

    HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Deutsche Bank on Monday downgraded India's Hero MotoCorp Ltd. (IN:500182) , the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer by sales volumes, to sell. The brokerage said the impact of an anticipated structural change, following the end of the company's joint venture with Honda Motor Co. (JP:7267) (HMC) , is happening sooner than expected. It said Hero was impacted the most by the current slowdown in the Indian two-wheeler market, with sales volumes for the first half of the current fiscal year down 3%, although Honda managed to gain market share. The analysts also cut their two-wheeler industry volume forecasts, expecting it to grow 4.8% in the year ending March 2013, as compared to their earlier forecast of a 7.8% growth. They also cut their sales forecast for the next financial year to 9.7% from 10.2%.

In an 11-month probe of Huawei Technology Co. (se:002502) and ZTE Corp.

    Australian stocks start new week on downbeat note by Sarah Turner

    SYDNEY (MarketWatch) -- Australian stocks declined in early trading on Monday, with the S&P/ASX 200 index (au:xjo) down 0.1% at 4,489.80. Mineral extractors were the worst performers by sector, with gold miner Newcrest Mining Ltd. down 1.9% and smaller rival Perseus Mining Ltd. (au:pru) down 1.7%. Gold futures took a tumble in New York on Friday after stronger U.S. jobs data led to a dimming of expectations for more central-bank easing. In addition, mainland Chinese stock markets are set to reopen Monday following a week-long holiday and Stan Shamu, strategist at IG Markets, said that caution could prevail in Australia ahead of the Shanghai open.

    More than 90 people get meningitis from injection by Deborah Levine

    SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - More than 90 people have contracted fungal meningitis linked to a steroid commonly used in back injections, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency said seven people have died from the disease, CBS News reported Sunday. The Massachusetts pharmacy that distributes the steroid voluntarily recalled its products, the report added. The injections are a frequent treatment for back pain. Patients who have had the procedure done since July should watch out for symptoms, which could take another month to show up, though the condition isn't contagious, media reports said.

Intelligence Squared: Would the World Be Better Without Religion?

On Tuesday night, I attended a debate at NYU's Skirball Center that was part of the Intelligence Squared debate series, "Resolved: The World Would Be Better Off Without Religion". Supporting the atheist side were Matthew Chapman and A.C. Grayling, while Dinesh D'Souza and David Wolpe were arguing on behalf of religion.

You can read the NYT's recap here, or watch the video. I was furiously scribbling notes throughout the debate, so these are my thoughts on how it went down. (My wife Elizabeth was the one who got me to go, and you can also read her thoughts on the evening.)

Of the four debaters, I actually think that Wolpe, the rabbi, came off best. He was the most polished speaker of the bunch (not surprising, since he has plenty of practice), and it was obvious that he'd done a lot of preparation: he reeled off facts and figures throughout the evening about religion and philanthropic work. Chapman and Grayling spoke reasonably well, but their talks seemed more off-the-cuff to me.

D'Souza, by contrast, spoke well but didn't come off very sympathetically. The audience actually booed him when he argued that it's perfectly fine for the Vatican to own so many priceless treasures of art and architecture, because it was the popes who commissioned them in the first place. (Thankfully, the atheists didn't overlook the obvious rejoinder, that the popes were the ones who did this because they had all the money.) He also made a tasteless and insulting remark alluding to abuse by religious figures in Matthew Chapman's past, implying that he was only calling himself an atheist because he was angry at God. And there was a palpably stunned silence when he claimed, near the end, that Christian colonization was a good thing for India because it was a way for Indians to escape the caste system.

As far as the atheist case went, I think Chapman and Grayling held their own, but they missed several good opportunities to land really devastating blows. They could have said more about the Catholic church preaching against condoms in AIDS-stricken regions, for example, or the mistreatment of women in Islamic theocracies, or evangelical witchcraft panics in developing countries. In response to Wolpe citing statistics about the connection between religious belief and charitable giving, they could have pointed out that even groups like Hamas build schools and hospitals, underscoring the point that religious volunteerism is at least partly fueled by tribalism, rather than compassion per se. They also didn't discuss whether it's social organization, rather than religion per se, that encourages believers to give more or results in them living longer.

Similarly, in response to Chapman discussing the Dover trial and the threat of creationism and anti-intellectualism generally, D'Souza claimed that it's just a "1% minority of religious rednecks" who support such ideas. That was a really outrageous absurdity that the atheists could have hammered him over, but they let it slide. Similarly, when Wolpe argued that no one takes literally the Bible verses about, say, chopping off a woman's hand if she grabs a man's testicles, Grayling missed a chance to point out that what Wolpe was really advocating is cherry-picking - keeping the good parts of religious texts and discarding the bad ones - just as he himself argued earlier.

However, the atheists did land a few good punches. Both Chapman and Grayling brought up religious homophobia and mistreatment of women, which neither Wolpe nor D'Souza did anything to rebut. Grayling also made the clever move of bringing up Stalin early on in the debate, comparing Soviet communism and religion as similar in that they're both "totalizing ideologies" that brook no dissent. That was a nice trick to preempt and defuse the inevitable ploy of tarring all atheists with the communist brush, not that stopped D'Souza from trying it anyway.

In the end, the atheists "won", in that that a greater percentage of undecided audience members voted for their side than for their opponents. Given that this was secular New York, with a self-declared atheist majority even before the debate began, this probably doesn't prove much. Nevertheless, I'm glad this debate was held, even if it didn't break a lot of new ground. Even the idea that this could be debated would have been unthinkable not long ago, and its increasing prominence as a topic of public discourse shows that the New Atheism is having an effect. If our position is correct, as I of course believe it is, then we can only stand to benefit from making our case in public and putting religion's spokesmen on the defensive.

Gay Talese

Gay Talese and New Journalism

To embed this video, copy this code:

Gay Talese introduced storytelling to the practice of journalism.

Gay Talese

Gay Talese is an American journalist and a nonfiction writer. He wrote for The New York Times in the 1960s after working for its copy and obituary sections. In the 1950s, he was one of the first writers to add minute details, use literary flairs, and begin articles in medias res. These techniques became the foundation of the revolutionary “New Journalism.”

He has written many non-fiction books, beginning with 1964’s The Bridge: The Building of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. His 2006 autobiography A Writer’s Life focuses on his trials and failures as a writer, such as having a profile piece rejected by The New Yorker, which ironically reviewed the book positively and said it had a “distinctly moving” quality.

Gay Talese was recently named the winner of a George Polk Award for career achievement. The awards, presented by Long Island University, are considered among the top prizes in U.S. journalism.  Born in 1932, Talese graduated from the University of Alabama with a degree in journalism.

Gay Talese:  Well, I think it was Tom Wolfe who credited me with being a forefather in that business. I never- while he was flattering to me or trying to be, I never fully accepted it. I don’t think it was new and I don’t think it was journalism. What it was, what I’d like to pretend to think it is and can always be is defining reality in a way that’s verifiable and that’s also a storytelling technique. The storytellers have through our literature been mostly fiction writers and the fiction writers, that means a novelist or a short story writer or playwright or a filmmaker, are people who are defining visually or maybe through prose are defining privacy. They are writing about private life which is meaningful, which we all can identify with because the lives of those they’re writing about, like the women in my mother’s stores back in the ‘40s, are representative of an atmosphere, of a time. And the fiction writers, whether we’re talking about Mr. Tolstoy or Mr. Hemmingway or we’re talking about Joyce Carol Oates or Philip Roth, they’re writing about their time, but they are incorporating into their writing new names or changing the place, but it is also not so much so that we can’t say that’s really real. Like you can read great fiction and you get a sense of being there. What I wanted to do, what I aspired to be well, even when I was 25 and 30 years old was to write short stories or to write a book that seemed like it’s made up like a novel, full length, but don’t change the names and get to know the characters so well I didn’t have to invent the characters. I could use real names and real situations I could get from knowing, from hanging around, hanging around, the art of hanging around so long, so comfortably part of another person’s ambiance and personality and expectations that I could capture that, put it on paper and be sure to the degree that anything can be true, this was a true representation of the people I wrote about. And that might be called new journalism, but it really wasn’t new journalism. It wasn’t journalism, it was storytelling. And the only thing that made it different from ordinary storytelling, which is the province of the fiction writer, is it was not fiction. Now there are writers that violate this all the time.  I mean one of them like, you know, James Frey’s famous made-up memoir, exaggerated-- now he’s written a novel which is what he should be doing and hopefully will do again and again-- there are people that are great at writing- at making it up and we have to celebrate them, great writers. But there are people that can write very engagingly and descriptively and not make it up, but that takes a lot of time because in order to write knowingly about people, you have to spend time and you have to spend so much time that sometimes you feel you’ve lost your own sense of being a writer because you don’t publish. If you spent so much time on research, it could be three or four or five or six years in which you don’t even try to write, you’re getting to know your characters, you’re getting lost in the tribes of literary quest, and then you have to then think, “I’m not out there. I’m off the radar screen in terms of being known.” And that is a period that very much leads to depression sometimes. But I mean I am not saying that I’m not without depression. There are people- sometimes you think you will never get through this, you’ll never finish, you’ll never finish, you’ll never know enough, you’ll never be ready to write, and when you start writing, you’re never good enough, you’re not getting it right, this whole process. But I believe if you finally do get it done to the best of your ability, it is a worthy, worthy endeavor because you are getting a chunk of reality and you’re putting it in book form. And it could be read in 2008 or 2029 or, you know, whenever, 50 years from now. If it’s any good, it’s gonna hold up.

NFTRH; Key ETF Charts

A snapshot of current technicals…

GLD climbed above the June low but is still considered at resistance below the SMA 50.  Also note GLD remains in a down trend (series of lower highs and lower lows) which would not be broken until a rise above the July high around 129.

A snapshot on gold…

We noted the May/June low as the key resistance point for gold and today it is popping above that point, with a 50+ (but not over bought) RSI.  Also of note is the declining SMA 50 right above that spot.  If gold can hold above here to close the week, it would be positive sign for yellow metal.

I have found it interesting that gold has maintained its firmness on its October bounce, through stock market weakness and strength as well as US dollar weakness and strength.

Silver has been much more iffy and unlike gold, resides below massive long-term resistance.  This is in line with a more bearish macro backdrop that would see the Gold-Silver ratio continue to rise, potentially with a resumption in USD as well, after its short-term correction.

DOW has reached initial resistance with bounce target #1 about 100 points higher.

This is probably of more concern to traders, so it could be considered an NFTRH+ update as well for people who want to plot levels to take a shot shorting.  But for everyone’s reference I want to put up another view of the upside retrace potentials using Fibonacci retracement levels, now that the bounce is confirmed to be in progress and we can gauge an actual low to measure from.

NFTRH+; L/T Treasury Yield Setup

In a volatile environment perhaps a good way for many people to go (other than the #1 option, cash) is trading the indicators and indexes, a opposed to individual stocks.  In that regard, I think that long-term T bonds are getting over done on the upside (R.I.P. ‘Great Rotation’).

Bills Beat Browns 13-6
Bills win defensive struggle for third victory.
by Steve Saslow
Week 14
Browns   6
Bills  13
Gameday Grades
The Skinny:
David Nelson caught an 11 yard touchdown pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick for the game's only touchdown to lead the Bills to a 13-6 win over the Browns. Both kickers would hit two field goals and the second half of the sloppy game saw only three points. Rian Lindell hit field goals from 30 and 19 yards out. The defense held the Browns in check after Peyton Hillis ran wild on the opening possession but they held the Browns to just a field goal. Jake Delhomme couldn't get his team going offensively the rest of the day as the Browns totaled just 187 yards of offense. Fred Jackson ran out the clock with some hard running and finished with 112 yards on the ground.

The Turning Point:
It would have to be the last turnover of a sloppy game. Late in the game Delhomme throws a duck of a pass that Leodis McKelvin picked off that essentially ended the game after the Bills kept allowing the Browns to hang around. It was the 2nd really good play in a row for McKelvin who separated Chansi Stuckey from the ball a player earlier. A case could be made for the turnover a series before when the Bills won a replay challenge to give Bryan Scott a fumble recovery forced by Arthur Moats.

The Big Drive:
It was probably the only touchdown drive of the game. It was a very impressive drive by the Bills offense. They went 89 yards in 14 plays in 5:32 to Nelson's touchdown on a third and six pass. Donald Jones converted a third down with a reception. Jackson and C.J. Spiller each made some nice, tough runs. .

Stat of the Game:
Browns fumbles: Cleveland fumbled five times but only lost two so they were able to stay in the game. .

What You Don't See On The Stat Sheet:
Was the questionable play calling by the Browns on offense. They ran the ball so well on their opening possession and then kind of went away from the run. They threw several times on third and short.

Quick Slants:
- Bills deferred on the opening kickoff again. They promptly went offsides on opening kickoff and Hillis took the Browns right down the field but the Bills defense stiffened and held them to a field goal.
- The Bills went for it on a 4th and 2 play at the Browns 35 in the first half. Right call but the pass in tight coverage went incomplete.
- Cleveland chose to kick a field goal on their opening drive on 4th and goal at the 1. They got the points but should have went for it and gave it to Hillis for what likely would have been a score. The Bills than reciprocated by going for it on 4th and goal from the one foot line and kicking a FG.
- Jairus Byrd may not be picking off passes but he has forced three fumbles in two games. He forced two today, one recovered by the Bills.
- During a third quarter drive, the Browns fumbled three times and recovered all three fumbles! On the third one, the Bills had three players on the ball and Joshua Cribbs got it back. The drive ended in a punt.

My Take:
This game was as ugly as most people thought it would be but for the first time since 2004 the Bills came out on the winning end of a series filled of bizzare games. Last year they lost a slightly uglier game so this may be a show of progress. Afterall, ugly wins are better than ugly losses.

What's Ahead:
The Bills head down to South Florida to take on the Dolphins in a game that likely won't mean anything for Miami either as they appear to be dead in the playoff picture.

  • Fred Jackson - 112 yards on 29 carries. He gets better as the game goes on.
  • Arthur Moats - Don't cross the Moats! That's a growing catchphrase started by WGRs Jeremy White. For the second straight week he made a big play forcing a fumble. He may be a budding playmaker.
  • Jairus Byrd - Speaking of playmakers, he forced two fumbles.
  • Jonathan Stupar - May be a bit of a stretch but I get to give a tight end a gameball! He had three catches for 45 yards including a nice run after the catch on a 35 yard pass play.
  • Leodis McKelvin - Two big plays in a row including the game clinching interception.

  • Goats
  • Jon Corto - Two big special teams penalties may be the end for the Orchard Park native.

  • Player Of The Week
  • Fred Jackson - He put the game away with his hard running.

Sigma-Aldrich Acquires Seppro(R) Depletion Technology From GenWay Biotech

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sigma-Aldrich (Nasdaq: SIAL) has expanded its proteomics offerings with the acquisition of Seppro(R) affinity depletion technology and a library of 700 avian-derived antibodies from GenWay Biotech, Inc. Seppro depletion products enable scientists to measure more precisely the expression of protein biomarkers from a range of mammalian and plant biological samples. This acquisition covers current inventory, production technology and all future rights to produce and distribute the product lines.

The Seppro IgY depletion platform is an antibody-based technology for processing plasma, serum and plant samples. It enables researchers to detect and analyze commonly obscured biomarkers in samples by removing highly abundant proteins. Seppro depletion products are built using chicken-derived IgY antibodies, providing higher selectivity and lower cross-reactivity than other comparable products. The Seppro platform, incorporating SuperMix technology, represents the most complete human depletion system available, removing 14 of the most abundant proteins from human serum or plasma, as well as other high and medium abundant proteins. Additional products are available for the depletion of mouse and rat samples, as well as the industry's only depletion system for the removal of Rubisco.

The library of 700 polyclonal IgY antibodies acquired from GenWay represents Sigma-Aldrich's first IgY antibody offering. The new antibodies are derived from chicken embryos and prepared using recombinant antigens. Chicken antibodies display less cross-reactivity with mammalian proteins, producing fewer false positive reactions in certain immunochemical assays. Chicken IgY is also typically more stable than IgG derived from mammalian species. With the acquisition of the chicken-derived Ig

Observations of Algae's Renaissance

By Tim Portz | September 27, 2012

As I write this, the 6th annual Algae Biomass Summit is wrapping up and the gathered attendees wheel luggage around, hail cabs and exchange final goodbyes. The overwhelming sense you get is that this is an industry finding its feet and positioning itself to begin realizing the incredible potential of algal cultivation, harvest and conversion.

Sixteen years ago, the Department of Energy shelved a nearly twenty year, and $25 million effort to establish algae as a viable renewable energy input. In that regard then, we find ourselves now in algae’s Renaissance and the road to commercial scale operations has many travelers. And now, the DOE is back in the algae business with a nearly $200 million investment. I had the privilege of moderating a panel that included Valerie Reed, Acting Biomass Program Manager at the DOE and I asked her what had transpired in the last sixteen years that led the DOE to resurrect its efforts in algae. She pointed to a combination of scientific advances and a steady rise in the price of oil that in tandem have brought the economic viability of algae derived fuels as close as it ever has been.

It seems inevitable that all renewable energy technologies advance in fits and starts. Energy prices are volatile and periods of high prices are a catalyst for increased investment in alternatives. The question the industry is working to answer now is whether this era of increased public and private investment will deliver the ultimate dividend, economically viable commercial scale production.

Next year, this event moves to Orlando. Where will the industry find itself when the 7th Annual Algae Biomass Summit opens? Will the producers who shared their commercialization progress with this year’s audience be able to point to continued operations, expansions and additional groundbreaking? Will there be new players toeing the line in the race to commercialization? These and other questions will be answered over the course of the next year by the professionals now dispersing from Denver.
