OAKLAND – A federal judge heard two hours of arguments Friday afternoon on whether a preliminary injunction should be granted to temporarily halt the closure of Drakes Bay Oyster Co.
U.S. District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers appeared to lean toward the government's arguments to shut down the operation, but did not issue a ruling. That will come sometime in the coming weeks. A crowd filled the courtroom – which held 75 people – and several people hoping to attend the hearing had to remain outside.
Drakes Bay owner Kevin Lunny – working with a legal team and with Cause of Action, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization – has already filed a separate lawsuit challenging
the merits of the decision to let his lease lapse, a ruling made by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar in November.
The federal government gave Lunny 90 days to wind down operations, but he hopes to get an injunction from the court so he can continue to operate until the main lawsuit can be heard.
Rogers pressed Lunny's attorneys on the merits of the injunction request, saying there was little legal precedent to overturn the secretary's decision.
"How can the court overturn a discretionary decision of the secretary not to act?" the judge asked Lunny's legal team.
Primary among the allegations by Lunny against the federal government is that it failed to follow National Environmental Policy Act requirements as it
prepared an environmental impact statement on the oyster operation because it didn't provide the public with a "meaningful opportunity to comment" on it.
But Rogers noted that before the decision was made, Lunny's attorneys advised Salazar that he had the discretion to extend the lease regardless of federal rules governing the process.
"How can you say they have the discretion to do it your way, but not the way you do not like?" Rogers asked.
But Lunny attorney Peter Prows argued that Salazar's decision still can be legally reviewed.
"The fact that an agency has discretion doesn't mean it is exempt from judicial review," he told the judge.
The attorney for the government, Stephen Macfarlane, said it was Congress that put the decision in the hands of Salazar.
"Congress basically left it up to the secretary," he said, citing a 2009 law known as "Section 124."
Lunny's attorneys also attacked the science used to show that the oyster operation was environmentally harmful to Drakes Estero – the 2,200-acre area where oysters are grown – and that false information was given by park service employees.
Rogers voiced concern over the studies, saying, "this is not a black and white situation."
While 31 employees will lose their jobs if Drakes Bay closes and Lunny stands to lose his business, Rogers said those were not grounds for granting an injunction.
After the hearing, Lunny said getting the injunction was key to his fight to stay open.
"If the injunction doesn't hapzpen, it will be very difficult," he said. "If they force us to destroy workers' homes, if they force us to fire all our staff and to kill 19 million oysters, there is no recovery of this business."
Under a recent deal with the federal government, Drakes Bay now has until March 15 to complete the removal of its property at the site. If Drakes Bay wins an injunction, that date will be pushed back.
On Nov. 29 Salazar announced he would allow a 40-year lease – originally negotiated with the Johnson Oyster Co. in 1972 – to expire. In 1972 the federal government bought the land from Johnson for $79,200 and provided the lease.
Lunny took over the lease in 2004. Salazar wrote in his decision that Lunny was explicitly informed "no new permit will be issued" after the 2012 expiration date.
Lunny has maintained there is wording that provides for a 10-year extension and that a provision under a state Department of Fish and Game agreement could continue the lease until 2029.

Bhima Koregaon Violence: Protests Spread Across Mumbai, Buses Vandalised, Internet Blocked, Rail Traffic Affected
PUNE, INDIA - JANUARY 2: Heavy police security deployed, after the clashes between Dalit groups and supporters of right-wing Hindutva organisations broke out during the 200th anniversary celebrations of the Bhima-Koregaon battle in Pune district, on January 2, 2018 in Pune, India.

By David Granovsky
Editor, RSCI Newsletter
March, 2009
"…since few people can afford to travel outside the country for adult stem cell treatments, ESC-crazed America, the Bangladesh of stem cells, with its focus on "treatment useless" research, and 4-8 years behind the rest of the world on available adult stem cell treatments, has become exactly that, a death row prison cell for those suffering from so-called untreatable diseases."
Should embryos be researched? In theory, everything should be researched because we won't know what advancements can come of it until it's done. But what about embryonic research in regard to treatments and the great stem cell debate? Screw the Embryos, They're Irrelevant!
So what if embryonic research has been 100% fruitless (in regard to generating treatments) for well-funded and government supported scientists around the world for the last 11 years. Maybe the U.S. scientists can discover amazing new things given enough time and money. Because we will never know what advances and benefits that research may bring us.
So what if Dr. Colin McGuckin, a noted UK embryonic research leader at Newcastle U. before departing for more useful RSC research in France announced:
"For me, the unnecessary row over stem cells has obscured the very real issue that patients are waiting to be treated. Some of those can be, here and now with cord blood. Cord blood has no ethical controversies whatsoever – it's accepted by every major religion on the planet. The best estimates of the embryonic scientists in our own university in Newcastle is that embryonic stem cells may not be able to help people this side of 50 years. That's my lifetime. And that's worrying. We can't wait that long."
So what if the world's best embryonic scientists believe that Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC – adult cells modified to be able to become any cell in the human body) seem to have all of the benefits of ESC with significantly less of a rejection issue, without the political & religious controversy or the tumor and cancer potential that ESC do?
So what if Time magazine named iPSC innovation No. 1 on its "Top 10 Scientific Discoveries" of 2007, and the journal Science rated it the No. 1 breakthrough of 2008?
So what if the iPSC findings even prompted Ian Wilmut, who led the team that cloned Dolly the sheep, to abandon his license to attempt human cloning, saying that the researchers "may have achieved what no politician could: an end to the embryonic stem cell debate."
So what if 3 weeks ago, Dr. Bernadine Healy, onetime director of the National Institutes of Health, wrote in U.S. News & World Report that these recent development:
"…several events reinforced the notion that embryonic stem cells, once thought to hold the cure for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and diabetes, are obsolete … in fact, adult stem cells, which occur in small quantities in organs throughout the body for natural growth and repair, have become stars despite great skepticism early on."
So what if Dr James Thomson, godfather of embryonic research said: "Already these reprogrammed cells (iPSC) have eclipsed the value of those harvested from embryos, because of significantly lower cost, ease of production, and genetic identity with the patient."
Also http://health.usnews.com/blogs/heart-toheart/2009/03/04/why-embryonic-stem-cells-are-obsolete.html
But personally I am selfish and I have an evil agenda. I am less concerned with promoting broad spectrum research of everything that may educate us. I am interested in research that can help suffering human beings now, human beings who have debilitating, life-altering or life-threatening diseases.
I want to help them now.
And we can…
And we aren't.
I don't want to see the tears of one more person who is turned away from their doctor's door with the statement, "there's nothing more we can do" while people around the world have been successfully treated for that same disease for 3, 5, 7 years.
I can't sit at the death bed of the millions dying each year and try to get them excited about the wonderful discoveries we will make in the future, the advancement of the human race, the spirit of the human quest for knowledge.
I refuse to go to death row and tell each inmate about how every prison but theirs has pardoned the death row inmates and the governor is going to pardon everyone on death row here too! But sorry, only after they are executed.
That is what we are talking about for MILLIONS OF AMERICANS. A death sentence with no potential of pardon…until after they die. And since few people can afford to travel outside the country for adult stem cell treatments, ESC-crazed America, the Bangladesh of stem cells, with its focus on "treatment useless" research, and 4-8 years behind the rest of the world on available
adult stem cell treatments, has become exactly that, a death row prison cell for those suffering from so-called untreatable diseases.
If you want to engage in battle about researching embryos then go for it. Knock yourself out. And good luck to both sides in the battle because no one will ever back down and no one will win. Ever.
But if you want to talk about using embryos for TREATMENTS, then you are a religious fanatic worshipping at the altar of science while sacrificing human life. And by human life, I mean the dying millions, not the embryos. Embryonic research won't produce treatments for 10-20 years, if one is to believe the ESC optimists, and human suffering does not matter to you compared to the religion of pure science.
So for those suffering from already-treatable Spinal Cord Injuries, Autism, CP, MS, Diabetes, ALS, optic nerve disorders and 100+ others, and especially for the 1.5 million who die every year from the top four diseases in "death row," Screw the Embryos, They're Irrelevant!

How would you describe yourself? Here are some profiles:
- You recently discovered Firefox and are still new to this idea of participating rather than just passively using software. That said, you've always been considered helpful by your peers.
- You've used Firefox for a while now, and you know about Mozilla's open source values. You wish you could contribute in a meaningful way, but you're not sure if you have the required skills.
- You know quite a lot about Firefox and have helped friends with their problems, but you don't really have time to do it regularly more than maybe 5 minutes per day.
Do any of these descriptions sound like you? If so, Mozilla's all-new Army of Awesome comes to rescue — a lightweight, quick and super-simple way for anyone to help fellow Firefox users with their web browsing experience!
Becoming an active contributor of the Mozilla community has never been simpler:
- This is a super-simple way for anyone to reach out to actual Firefox users — the main idea is to direct people to where they can get help with their problems: support.mozilla.com. In other words, you can help even if you don't know the answer to their problem!
- It's also a great way to get in touch with users who aren't necessarily looking for help, including people who just raved about the latest beta, or people who openly asked which browser they should use. You probably know the answer to that question, which means that…
- Everyone can contribute here, including you!
I really want to stress that last point: everyone can make a difference here, and it doesn't have to take more than a couple of minutes per day. It will go a long way in spreading helpful ripples in the Twitterverse. Please give it a go and let me know what you think!
By the way, we're also thinking about ways to integrate other social media into this effort, such as Facebook; and we're thinking of creating a Firefox add-on that will allow you to use the same helpful snippets when helping people on blogs, various forums, and other places online. More on that later. If you have other ideas on how to spread the helpfulness to other places, let me know!
Lastly, a big thank you to everyone who helped pull this project together — William Reynolds, Kadir Topal, Michael Verdi, Alex Buchanan, Fred Wenzel, James Socol, Paul Craciunoiu, Stephen Donner, Krupa Raj, Craig Cook, Mike Morgan, Mike Alexis, Anurag Phadke, and Daniel Einspanjer.

Herrera homers, Brewers beat Rockies 5-3
Brewers helped by 5 errors by Rockies
Elian Herrera hit a solo home run in the seventh inning off the glove of leaping right fielder Ryan Wheeler and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the mistake-prone Colorado Rockies 5-3 Thursday.
The Brewers scored twice in the eighth with the help of four of Colorado's five errors.
Herrera, a leading candidate to make the Brewers as a utility infielder, has four hits in seven at-bats this spring with three RBIs while playing well at shortstop.
"I got just enough. As long as it gets out, that's enough," Herrera said of his homer.
Mark Reynolds and Jean Segura added RBI singles for the Brewers.
Wheeler had an RBI single while Tom Murphy and Kyle Parker had run-scoring doubles for the Rockies.
Rockies manager Walt Weiss questioned a call on a stolen base by Milwaukee's Logan Shafer in the sixth. Shafer was ruled safe by second base umpire Jim Wolf and after a replay review of less than two minutes, the ruling on the field was upheld.
Weiss lost the review but was happy with the process.
"I like it. I like the concept and the fact that we're trying to get it right," Weiss said. "It's not going to be perfect right away. It's being implemented on a large scale. But I like knowing that you have the ability to overturn a call. I thought he might have tagged him."
Rockies: Jordan Lyles is completing for the final spot in the rotation and Thursday's effort will help. He allowed three hits in three scoreless innings, striking out Richie Weeks swinging and Reynolds looking during his stint.
"I saw him focusing on keeping the ball down," Weiss said. "I thought it was a very encouraging outing by him."
Brewers: Kyle Lohse gave up his first runs of the spring on an RBI single to Wheeler and an RBI double to Murphy in the second inning. But he rebounded to set the Rockies down in order in the third.
"I wasn't as good out of the stretch. It was a simple, mechanical thing that I forgot about," Lohse said. "If you're going to forget something simple in your mechanics, now is the time to do it."
Colorado third baseman Charlie Culberson had himself a real fine second inning.
He singled, stole second and scored on Wheeler's single in the top half. In the bottom half, he made a nice, backhand stab of Lyle Overbay's line drive and beat Carlos Gomez back to complete and unassisted, inning-ending double play.
It's been mostly sunshine for the Cactus League, but Arizona had a storm blow through last Saturday and the area was under cloud cover again on Thursday. Lohse wasn't surprised he had the starting assignment each time.
"I'm just that guy. It goes back four or five years and I don't know what it is," he said. "One year in St. Louis I made 32 starts one year and in half of them, we had raindrops at least some part of the day. We had delays hold up my starts when I'm feeling good ... it just follows me around."
Weiss said it will be nice to see former Colorado closer Rafael Bentancourt, now a free agent and on the comeback trail from right elbow ligament surgery, this weekend. Bentancourt will arrive at the Rockies' camp Sunday for some supervised throwing for the training staff.
"It will be good to see Raffy," Weiss said. "He's meant so much to this club the last couple of years, his leadership. It will be good to have him around."
The 38-year-old is hoping to pitch this season, and his rehab process could have him ready by August.

Regional bank hits on novel way to attract business
Lottery winners who hit the jackpot are always good news stories, but the anonymous lucky individual who was the subject of reports in all major media on Feb. 3 represented a different angle on the topic. Instead of being announced by the authorities who administer the Year-end Jumbo Takarakuji lottery, the ¥700 million prize was publicized by a regional financial institution, Chiba Prefecture's Keiyo Bank. That's because the winner of the jackpot didn't actually have the winning ticket in his or her possession. The bank was holding it for safe keeping.
With interests rates on time deposits being so low for so long, banks, especially smaller regional ones, have a tough time convincing people to become customers and usually resort to special premiums or deals. Keiyo's is to offer lottery tickets as incentives to open savings accounts. For every one million yen deposited in a three-year teiki yokin (time deposit account), the depositor receives five lottery tickets per year for various drawings. Keiyo, however, only supplies the customer with the number of the ticket, not the ticket itself, which it holds on to. When the drawing is carried out the customer checks the number against the winners and if there's a match the customer contacts the bank, which then gives the customer the ticket for him or her to cash in.
In this most recent case, the drawing was conducted in early January and the bank, knowing that one of its customers had won, waited for the customer to call. The person didn't. After a month, the bank finally called the individual with the happy news.
What's most interesting about the story is that it isn't the first time a Keiyo customer has hit it big. The bank has been offering the lottery incentive since March 2007, and in the intervening years there have been 34 ¥1 million winners, two ¥5 million winners and one ¥100 million winner. These numbers give the impression that Keiyo customers have a higher probability of winning, but according to a lottery expert interviewed by Tokyo Shimbun it's difficult to figure the odds since the bank has never released the total number of tickets it has bought for customers over the years, but likely it isn't that much because Keiyo is, after all, a regional bank with a limited reach.
As a reference, interest on a three-year time deposit is 0.03 percent, which means for the first year of a ¥1 million account the customer earns ¥300. That amount would buy one ¥300 lottery ticket before the government deducts its 20.315 percent tax on interest.
Side note: In December we wrote about the Post Office lottery for New Years cards. In case you still have them lying around and didn't check the winning numbers here they are: If the last five digits on any of the cards you received are, in order, 9-7-0-8-5 then you win ¥10,000. If the last four digits are 2-3-4-4, you win a prize of some sort of regional product. And if the last two digits are either 7-2 or 7-4, you win a sheet of postage stamps. You have until six months after the Jan. 22 announcement date to claim your prizes.

T.M.H.S. performance of "The Secret Garden" opens tomorrow
Published: 02/17/2011 12:00:00
The Theater Department at Thunder Mountain High School is unveiling a new play tomorrow, it's a musical based on the classic story "The Secret Garden" We spoke with Dawn Kolden, Theater Educator at Thunder Mountain High School, who filled in a few details;
VIDEO: The Theater Department at Thunder Mountain High School is unveiling a new play tomorrow, it's a musical based on the classic story "The Secret Garden" We spoke with Dawn Kolden, Theater Educator at Thunder Mountain High School, who filled in a few details; (Image: Rik Pruett)
"It's a very sweet story, it's about a little girl who comes to live in a house that's sort of depressed and down because there's a young boy who is invalid and she sort of helps bring him back to life through the magic of a garden and people that love her. One thing I think we're really trying to work here is a comprehensive study of theater so when the actors are not on stage they actually are allowed to go back in the scene shop with our technical director and build the set and paint the set, and we also have the musicians who come to all the rehearsals and listen to the music, and to the show I mean, and then we also have two students who are going downstairs and drumming during the show and then coming back up and also being characters."
So the students are getting a lot more out of the experience than just a chance to play a role. Andrew Raney, who plays one of the lead characters "Colin the Invalid", gave us his perspective.
"I've been into theater for a few years now; I tried out for this play, I thought it would be fun and I'm really happy with the part I got, it's challenged me a lot as an actor, and I've got to know a lot of great people here and we've all helped each other grow through this production."
Kolden then related how much work goes into putting the show together; "Well I'm going to say over thirty students are involved, we've been working on it for about two months, but actually we start last year when I picked the play based on who the students are, who our costume designer, our set designer is, and our musicians are. The dates are the 18th and 19th at 7:30pm at Thunder Mountain Theater and also the 25th and 26th at 7:30pm and opening night is fun because we've started a tradition of a talkback with the actors, so after opening night the audience can stay and they can ask any questions they want to the actors the musicians and the technicians."
"The Secret Garden"; Go and see it, It'll grow on you.
Directing all the students has its own rewards, and Kolden told us; "I'm touched in a good way by the students, the performance is very heartwarming."

Claudio Sibille-Marken Desk Home Desk Furniture
At Design Interviews
Interview with Claudio Sibille : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Claudio Sibille : Well, this particular work started in Marken, Holland. Marken is a beautiful small fishermen´s town. While sitting on the grass facing the coast I saw all the ships (actually boats and big boats), and the shape of the bow of a particular boat led me to start making some random sketches of what now resembles the lateral view of the legs of the table, leaning forward, just like the fore of a ship. It remained just a drawing. Some years later, back in Uruguay, found that same notebook at the same period of time I was working on a home desk design for my personal use. The idea was to make a sample in Uruguay and use it for myself. The shape stuck in my head and served as the leit motif of the whole project. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Claudio Sibille : I wanted to make a project where the main purpose is creating everlasting and atemporal beauty. Something that would never be considered old nor modern. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Claudio Sibille : Keep adding awards until I get better and better and making sure I always live up for the expectations. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Claudio Sibille : Very short time. It was all done within less than a month. April 2013. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Claudio Sibille : No, just for my own personal use. Need a desk, and I wanted to design one for myself rather than buy one. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Claudio Sibille : Yes, it is manufactured by M3, a company which I co-Own It´s a company based in Hong Kong that manufactures high end multifunctional furniture and sofa beds. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Claudio Sibille : The need for a desk at my house .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Claudio Sibille : No, not really .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Claudio Sibille : Well, it all started at Marken, a little fishermen´s town in the Netherlands. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Claudio Sibille : Penciol, paper, and Autocad. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Claudio Sibille : Since the idea was to make a piece of furniture that could be manufactured by any local carpenter in Uruguay, I tried to make it artesanal but simple, not recurring to complex technological operations. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. Claudio Sibille : Yes, well, some scandinavian influences are responsible for the realisation of this design. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Claudio Sibille : the commercial success of the product led me to submit it to the A´Design Award. .

First, it houses collections of my ancestors, not only for display but in research material. It is where I went to get help from the wonderful archivist, Judy Antle one day. Second, it is so beautiful an area, you want to move there immediately, especially if you have ancestors from that area. Third, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the ones who were there in 1999 are still there. Anybody who has ancestors in The Eastern Townships will want to visit this Museum and spend time in the Archives. This area is just over the Vermont border, and fortunately, I can get there in about six hours. My grandmother grew up there, so my mother visited often as a child to see her grandparents. I in turn went up as a child to visit my great aunts, and other relatives.
Not wanting to leave out my first cousin, once removed, who was the archivist at the above Society for a number of years. She wrote many articles, and some about our ancestors. She deserves an entire blog dedicated to her.
After the visit to the Archives, my husband and I were armed with maps indicating cemeteries. This may be hard to believe, but I found all 22 cemetery stones of my direct ancestors!
Additional information. In January 2013, CBS did a news segment on our 21st President Chester Alan Arthur and obtained proof that he was indeed born in the Bedford, Missisquoi, Quebec. Both the curator, Heather Darch, and archivist, Judy Antle*) were shown in the clip as well as the storage area of the Missisquoi Museum! You may view that show HERE.

salesforce.com (CRM) run on active notice, as stock price swings at $148.12 with percentage change of 2.06% during Thursday trading session. Along recent rise drift, stock price presented -11.60% down comparing value from it 52-week high point and showed 30.39% up in value from its 52-week low point. The stock price performed 1.33% in the past week. Shares have performed -7.41% over the last quarter and moved 5.30% over the last twelve months.
salesforce.com traded 5376741 shares at hands when compared with its average volume of 6183.82K shares. Volume could be considered as the most important technical tool. As price rises, ideally a trader would like to see higher volume, and as price falls, correspondingly lower volume. Technical analysis focuses on market action — specifically, volume and price. Technical analysis is only one approach to analyzing stocks. When considering which stocks to buy or sell, you should use the approach that you're most comfortable with. As with all your investments, you must make your own determination as to whether an investment in any particular security or securities is right for you based on your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Explanation of Popular Simple Moving Averages:
The 0.60% up depiction highlighted by the trends created around 20 day SMA. The established trader's sentiment toward the stock has created a trading environment which can appropriately be designated as optimistic.
There has been down change grasped around 50 day SMA. The stock price is showing -0.96% distance below 50 SMA. On the surface, it seems as the higher the 50-day moving average goes, the more bullish the market is (and the lower it goes, the more bearish). In practice, however, the reverse is true. The 50-day moving average is perceived to be the dividing line between a stock that is technically healthy and one that is not. Furthermore, the percentage of stocks above their 50-day moving average helps determine the overall health of the market. Many market traders also use moving averages to determine profitable entry and exit points into specific securities.
salesforce.com (CRM) stock price recognized down trend built on latest movement of 200 SMA with -4.00% during the course of recent market activity. This trend discloses recent direction. The up-to-date direction of 200 SMA is downward. When the price over the last 200 days is moving with increasing trend, look for buy opportunities and when it shows decreasing trend the price is below the last 200 days, look for sell opportunities.
Noticing profitability, the Company attains gross profit margin of 74.80% and operating margin stands at 3.40% that is showing consistency of trends in firm's earnings. Its profit margin stands at 6.40%. While to figure out more clear vision, firm's returns on investment calculated as 3.70%; it gives answer about efficiency of different investments in different securities. The returns on assets of firm also presenting perceptible condition of profitability, it has ROA of 3.10%, the very positive ratio starts from >+15% and very negative hits to <-15%.
The Firm has price to earnings growth of 6.34 which is a valuation metric for determining relative trade-off among price of a stock. Ticker has Quick Ratio of 1 which indicates firm has sufficient short-term assets to cover its immediate liabilities. In addition, the firm has debt to equity ratio of 0.2 sometimes it remain same with long term debt to equity ratio.
Analysts assigned consensus rating of 1.7. This rating scale created between 1 and 5. Analyst's suggestion with a score of 3 would be a mark of a Hold views. A rating of 1 or 2 would be indicating a Buy recommendation. A rating of 4 or 5 represents a Sell idea.
Volatility Credentials:
The stock has a beta value of 1.21. When beta is less/more than 1, it can be read that the stock is theoretically less/more volatile than the market. salesforce.com has noticeable recent volatility credentials; price volatility of stock was 2.31% for a week and 2.07% for a month. Volatility is an annualized one standard deviation of stock prices that measures how much past stock prices deviated from their average over a period of time. Historical Volatility does not measure direction; it measures how much the securities price is deviating from its average.
When a security's Historical Volatility is rising, or higher than normal, it means prices are moving up and down further/more quickly than usual and is an indication that something is expected to change, or has already changed, regarding the underlying security (i.e. uncertainty). You may want to research/monitor the security more closely. When a security's Historical Volatility is falling, things are returning back to normal (i.e. uncertainty has been removed).
Average true range (ATR) as a Volatility Pointer
A stock experiencing a high level of volatility has a higher ATR, and a low volatility stock has a lower ATR. The ATR may be used by market technicians to enter and exit trades, and it is a useful tool to add to a trading system. It was created to allow traders to more accurately measure the daily volatility of an asset by using simple calculations. The indicator does not indicate the price direction, rather it is used primarily to measure volatility caused by gaps and limit up or down moves. The ATR is fairly simple to calculate and only needs historical price data. ATR is a durable meat-and-potatoes type of indicator that can serve you well in your investing ventures. Range and volatility are fundamental concepts in technical analysis and true range comes up frequently, not only as a concept but also as the underlying calculation, in more complex indicators. ATR reflects the trading range, and knowing this can allow you to more accurately buy and sell into trends as well as set stops. Its Average True Range (ATR) shows a figure of 3.34.
Keep Observations on Relative Strength Index (RSI) Indicator:
The relative strength index (RSI)'s recent value positioned at 49.76. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a technical indicator used to analyze stocks. It compares the magnitude of recent losses and gains so as to assess the overbought or oversold conditions of a particular stock. This assessment allows the investor to determine when it is wise to purchase or sell a particular stock.
The formula used in making the assessment is: RSI = 100-100/(1+RS)
(Where RS is equal to the average of x days' up closes/Average of x days' down closes)
RSI is charted on a scale of 0-100 points. Once the RSI of an asset exceeds 70 it is considered to be overbought. The odds are that it is overpriced at that point and the investor should expect a correction in price. If the RSI drops below 30 the stock is considered to be oversold and may become undervalued.
Fluctuations within the RSI can be dramatic at times, so it is not always an accurate measure of what a stock may be doing. One of the things that RSI may indicate is an upcoming turn in the market, especially if there is a wide divergence between the strength index and the price action. A bear divergence occurs when a stocks' price reaches a new high but the RSI doesn't achieve a matching high. A bull divergence is the opposite with new lows reached. The disadvantage of using just RSI to track a stock is that large surges or declines can create false buy or sell conditions. Best employed to complement other assessment techniques, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) may provide warning if a stock is not trading at a price commensurate with its worth.

To an aspiring tennis player, the dream is Wimbledon.
To a 260-pound, muscled-up linebacker, it's the Super Bowl.
To a perfectly pitched vocalist, it's the center stage on Broadway.
Whatever your teenager's dream, God has wired him or her for a unique future full of possibilities. As a caring parent, you play a vital role in life's most fulfilling and rewarding arena – helping to shape that dream and make it come true.
To one family in Missouri, "dream building" is helping their daughter publish and distribute 30,000 copies of a book she wrote at age 4 and illustrated at age 7 – a book telling the world about her grandmother's heroic faith.
To another family in Texas, dream building meant patching up the broken heart of their son – ridiculed for being big and clumsy – and launching him into Division I football greatness.
Some parents, like a single mom in the Midwest, build dreams alone. Arising before the sun comes up, she ferries her 17-year-old daughter in a minivan to a local swimming center and naps until dawn in the backseat. Then she works an eight-hour shift as a school nurse to get food on the table.
In orchestras, art shows, science fairs, basketball courts and hockey arenas, insightful moms and dads are spending the greatest years of their lives developing their kids' God-given gifts and talents. They do it in a careful, hand-in-hand, side-by-side process that allows their teens to grow a dream from conception to celebration. Over mountains of acclaim, through lonely valleys of discouragement, and along winding trails of discovery, these dream builders and their dreamers travel one of life's most rewarding roads.
For these parent-teen teams, the "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" is much more than a letter jacket, a state championship ring, a straight-A report card or a perfectly executed piano recital. As good as those short-term fulfillments are, the never-ending satisfaction comes from building the parent-child relationship, teaching a valuable work ethic and deepening your teen's faith as he or she explores ways to serve God.
After navigating that extraordinary highway with four teens of my own and assisting some 20,000 young dreamers each summer in our 10 sports camps, I can tell you this without a shadow of doubt: The time you, as a parent, invest in becoming a dream builder, helping your child discover his or her unique wiring, will be one of the most cherished investments you'll ever make.
Parents everywhere are doing that every day. You can, too.

American Forces Press Service
SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill., Nov. 29, 2012 – After redeploying 33,000 surge forces and their equipment from Afghanistan nine days ahead of the presidentially mandated deadline, U.S. Transportation Command is assessing the lessons learned to improve its processes for ongoing drawdown operations.
Air Force Col. Rob Brisson, chief of Transcom's Fusion Center, called the successful drawdown to pre-surge levels "a huge statement" about the collaboration between U.S. Central Command, U.S. Forces Afghanistan and U.S. Transportation Command and its components and partners.
But the success was no mistake, he emphasized during an interview here with American Forces Press Service.
Despite not knowing exactly when the drawdown would happen, the Transcom team had been planning for it since 2009. "As soon as those troops went in, we were already thinking in this building about how they were going to get out," Brisson said. "For us, when somebody is talking about delivery, somebody else is already talking about redeployment or retrograde."
When it comes to drawing down in Afghanistan, officials agree that there's plenty to talk about. Afghanistan's challenging geography, weather and security situation, its limited transportation infrastructure and uncertainty about the future U.S. presence there all present a Rubik's cube of challenges.
By comparison, the redeployment from Iraq was a cakewalk. Largely relying on Kuwait as a staging point and shipping the vast percentage of the equipment from ports there and in Iraq, Transcom, its service components and commercial partners redeployed more than 60,000 troops and more than 1 million pieces of equipment by the Dec. 31, 2011, deadline.
"Leaving Iraq was a lot simpler," said Curt Zargan, deputy director for Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command's Transportation Engineering Agency. "There were a whole lot fewer issues to deal with and a whole lot less complication."
Because Afghanistan is landlocked, all the troops and much of the equipment must leave by air, at least for the first leg of their return, Zargan said. That applies particularly to weapons systems, combat vehicles or anything that regional neighbors might view as implements of war and won't allow to transit across their borders.
"When you are deploying from a landlocked country, you are not going to drive them out of there. You are not going to sail them out of there. You are going to fly them out of there," Brisson said. "That takes a well-coordinated flow plan that ensures sufficient airport capacity and prevents a logjam at any one node."
That plan, coordinated closely with Centcom officials who periodically travel to Transcom to iron out redeployment plans in about six-month intervals, has to factor in demand on four major air bases in Afghanistan, Zargan noted. It also recognizes the ripple effect on air bases that receive redeploying flights during transit.
"You can't push 15,000 people to Manas [Air Base in Kyrgyzstan] the last week of September and expect them to get out and make the president's mandate," Brisson said.
Using computer simulation models, Transcom planners evaluate the entire transportation and distribution network in the Centcom area of operation to come up with the best methods of exodus. Some involve "multimodal transport," with an initial movement to one country, usually by air, then a transfer to other conveyance, such as a ship, for the rest of the trip.
"With multimodal, you rely on short air legs, or only as much air as you absolutely need to overcome the obstacle or access challenge," Zargan said. "Whenever you can find a capable multimodal hub with ease of transfer from one mode to another, it offers a lot of efficiencies and cost savings."
The shortest and least-expensive ground routes out of Afghanistan, referred to as the Pakistan ground lines of communication, remain closed to U.S. traffic for political reasons. The U.S. military had made heavy use of these routes, which originate at Pakistan's port in Karachi, until November 2011. The Pakistani government suddenly closed them, however, after a border incident with U.S. forces left 24 Pakistani soldiers dead.
Pakistan announced July 3 that it would reopen the routes, but some of the required agreements have yet to be finalized.
"We still haven't been able to use the [Pakistani routes] to move any supplies out," said Air Force Maj. Gen. Samuel D. Cox, Transcom's operations and plans director. "It's one of the issues we are working to resolve. As the [route] opens up again, it will give us another avenue to be able to bring equipment out of Afghanistan and back to the United States."
Transcom plans to move much of its retrograde shipments out of Afghanistan through Pakistan, the fastest and most cost-effective option, Brisson said. But based on current projections, officials estimate that it could take until February — the heart of the winter season — before outbound equipment begins flowing through Pakistan.
So for now, Transcom is focused on moving about 7,000 shipping containers that had been stuck along the route for more than seven months — with much of the contents no longer useable or needed in Afghanistan.
In addition, command planners hope to make extensive use of the Northern Distribution Network Transcom established in 2009. This elaborate network of rail, sealift and trucking lines and material handling teams and their equipment includes several major routes across Eastern Europe, Western Asia and into Afghanistan.
Air Force Gen. William M. Fraser III, the Transcom commander, credited the Northern Distribution Network with enabling Transcom to provide uninterrupted service to Centcom even after Pakistan closed its supply routes.
Fraser recently visited several of the countries that make up the network to thank them for their support and to ensure they are ready for the role they will play in the drawdown.
"We are capitalizing on that network that had been built to take things into Afghanistan to now taking things out, and we have multiple lanes that we can use," Fraser said. "Some of the routes are more mature than others. … But we have people coming to us, wanting to know how they can help, whether by air or sea, and what they can do to help facilitate this. It's been very positive."
For now, planners are evaluating the capacity of these routes to ascertain whether they can stand up to drawdown demands.
"There are literally physical limitations in some of the infrastructure," said Army Col. Glen Baca, Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command's operations director. "We have some very big, very heavy pieces of equipment that, if you tried to push it up those lines of communication, you could compromise their infrastructure to the point that they might not be able to use it."
Meanwhile, Transcom is testing out new additions to the network. "We're working the proof of principle right now to add additional capacity," Brisson said. "Anything we have not done before, we check it out to make sure that what we have generated through prudent planning makes sense before we move into execution. And once we make those first couple of moves, then we figure out how we can do that on a consistent basis."
Other factors complicate the drawdown planning effort. Some countries in the network specify what kinds of equipment can and can't transit through their territory. Most, for example, want clean cargo — a challenge, because forces in Afghanistan don't have a willing Kuwait across the border that offers up space to clean and stage their vehicles, equipment and gear for shipment. Other counties won't allow wheeled vehicles, or cargo that's obviously wartime equipment, across their borders.
For some nations in the network, the caveats boil down to volume. To allow the United States to ship cargo through their transportation systems, they require a minimum quantity of business so they can predict workflow.
That can be a challenge, particularly because the redeployment rate isn't set in stone, explained Navy Cmdr. Matt Secrest, chief of Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command's operations division.
"It's not just a straight plan with a linear chart going down saying it is going to be 100 vehicles per month for the next year and a half," he said. "More likely, it is going to be 450 this month and 25 next month. And so you have to work with those variables."
"All of these factors go into our planning and analysis," Zargan said. "It's a challenge to figure out."
In "figuring it out," Transcom is making certain there's no "point of failure" that can be the undoing of its planning efforts.
"One reason we have so many routes is to ensure that we are not reliant on any single host nation affecting our ability to redeploy out of Afghanistan," Secrest said. "We need lots of options so no one country's policies could affect our operations. That way, we have a variety of reliable solutions to redeploy out of Afghanistan when the time is right, as we are directed."

Arm announced its big.LITTLE technology on 19th October and Linaro were invited to participate in both the London and San Francisco launches. It is interesting technology, with two clusters of Cortex Armv7 architecture cores (Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7) joined together via a coherent interconnect. Arm has proposed two usage models, task migration and MP.
In the task migration model, either the cluster of Cortex-A15 cores or the cluster of Cortex-A7 cores is executing the system and its tasks at any given time. Both clusters have the same instruction set and view of the system and the caches are coherent. Migrating the system and its applications means moving the processor state between clusters. The amount of state is relatively small and scales with the number of cores in the cluster. This transfer of tasks is achieved via the switcher software which resides in hypervisor mode. The switcher also has the job of hiding the small number of programmer's model differences between the Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7. The task migration model makes sense where there is the same number of cores in each cluster. Having a different number of cores would complicate the switcher software, essentially adding virtualization functionality into it. One way of thinking of the task migration model is to consider it as an overlapping set of power states, with the Cortex-A7 providing the lower power set and the Cortex-A15 providing the higher power set. The standard Linux power management framework can be used to initiate task migration via a device driver that transfers control to the switcher software. The software to implement this model does not require significant OS changes, and is relatively self-contained and testable. Time to market considerations lead us to expect that early products are likely to use this model.
In the big.LITTLE MP model, all of the big.LITTLE cores, Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7, are operating as part of a single instance of the Linux kernel. In this case, Linux is scheduling tasks on the most appropriate cores. This presents a challenge as, whilst Linux supports SMP, the kernel does not have the concept of clusters of CPUs with different power and performance characteristics. The requirements include flexibly migrating tasks and powering off cores. This mode could be further complicated by using a virtualization layer supporting several VMs of possibly varying CPU topologies. The kernel side of this work fits with the Power Management working group's mandate and will be investigated within that team. Making this scale of change to the kernel's scheduler will take a lot of effort, particularly in the areas of validation and benchmarking. It will also require coordinated influence from the Arm Linux community.
In both cases the boot architecture needs to ensure that appropriate software is loaded into the hypervisor at boot time, be it switcher code or virtualisation software such as KVM, before control is passed to the Linux kernel. Coordinating several layers of software is difficult and time consuming and any fragmentation here will only cause bugs and delay products. Getting big.LITTLE right is a challenge for Linaro and its members. Linaro will work with all interested members, including with Arm themselves, to support open source software on big.LITTLE as quickly as possible, to enable member products to get to market in the earliest possible timeframe.
