A Very Merry Mere
A talk by the 2007 Allan Mere recipient Dr Peter Johnson. A celebration of the award will follow the talk. The Allan Mere was gifted by Dr Lucy Moore in 1982 to commemorate the botanist Dr HH Allan, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth. The mere is made from pounamu. As the 2007 recipient of the Allan Mere award, and as a resident of Te Wai pounamu, I shall use this as a theme, linked with a 'mere' of my own creation, to describe some of the merry places and marvellous plants of my botanical wandering and wondering. At the Zoology Benham Building, 346 Great King Street, behind the Zoology car park by the Captain Cook Hotel. Use the main entrance of the Benham Building to get in and go to the Benham Seminar Room, Rm. 215, 2nd floor. Please be prompt as we have to hold the door open. Dinner will follow this talk, at a restaurant to be decided. If you would like to go to dinner, email Robyn Bridges by 12 November 2007.

The Symposium concludes with the Cockayne Lecture 2007 by Dr Bill Lee, Landcare Research "Birds in Paradise: the role of birds in shaping New Zealand's terrestrial biodiversity". Classification of the world's biodiversity is indebted to the Swedish naturalist and physician Carl Linnaeus. He was the 'father' of our system of naming plants and animals. One of his students, Daniel Solander (1733-1782), was a naturalist, along with Joseph Banks, on the famous Endeavour voyage to the Pacific and New Zealand under the command of Captain Cook in 1769.

A field trip to Colinswood Bush. Near Macandrew Bay, a small native bush remnant at an important stage of restoration. Many weeds still exist, but the larger exotic trees (sycamore and hawthorn) have finally been removed and the existing and planted indigenous species are beginning to dominate and form a protective canopy. Help with updating the native plant list and with removing some of the weeds will be much appreciated. In July the kowhai will be in full flower with plenty of tuis to entertain you. Our pride and joy is a large matai estimated to be 450 years old which this season has produced its first recorded pollinated seed and small crop of seedlings. The mystery is there is no resident male. Any theories? Leader Nigel McPherson.

The Nike Air Zoom Abington SB – White / Silver Ice has a lot going on. The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and suede, and they feature a loud colorway, which consists of white, grey, red, and orange. The shoe features a low profile phylon midsole, anatomically contoured footbeds, hidden lace protection system , elastic centering straps, and a thick mesh tongue for ventilation and breathability. The inspiration behind the Air Zoom Abington SB model is actually derived from the classic indoor soccer shoe design, which was adopted by Nike SB, but then modified to include all of the features mentioned above.


J.P. Hilsabeck is one of those guys on Survivor you probably won't remember in a couple of weeks. He was barely featured because his impact in the game was invisible. Well, you might remember him for stripping down naked to prove he didn't have an Immunity Idol, but not for anything strategic.
You may also remember him for falling victim to the biggest blindside so far on Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers. J.P. nearly made it to the end of the game because multiple people were planning to take him to the final three, knowing he would be easy to beat.
Roark Luskin: As somebody who respects strategy over survival, I could never give it to J.P. He's a lovely guy, and he's a wonderful leader. You don't hear it on the show, but he was guiding us through the challenges with such leadership and authority. No shade at J.P., but he's my least likely pick.
Cole Medders: I wanted to go to the end with J.P. because I saw myself beating J.P. on the count of having more personality.
Desiree Williams: I definitely had a plan on who I wanted to sit next to. J.P. is one of them because he was confused always.
But J.P. doesn't see it that way. In fact, he couldn't disagree more.
One of his allies in the majority alliance was Chrissy, who has been bashed repeatedly as an immoral, condescending liar by numerous previously eliminated players. J.P. doesn't like the negativity some of the other players have been dishing out toward her.
He said her actions were all a part of the environment that Survivor brings.
Do you think J.P. was a strong player? Join the conversation now and leave a comment below.


Very professional while being friendly and felt like a family. It was a pleasure to do the trip with you!
Thank you, Rob, Allie and Naomi!
Booked a few months before I came out to SA and was very easy and was kept updated to confirm that the trip was on.
The trip itself was excellent, saw loads of sharks, had a great dive in the cage, got loads of photos and got humpbacks and dolphins into the price.
Cage diving with Great Whites had been no.1 on my bucket list for years and now it's done, so glad I did it with African Shark Eco-Charters, will recommend them to anyone who decides to do this! I was recommended them by a colleague at work who had an equally brilliant experience!


The works in this triple bill bring together the diverse talents of three of Britain's best loved choreographers, all of them Royal Ballet Resident Choreographers at one time or another.
The uber-Romantic Marguerite et Armand was created by Frederic Ashton for Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev, who Ashton felt epitomised the tragic 19th century lovers of Alexandre Dumas' novel The Lady of the Camellias.
Choreographed on a powerful and emotional piano sonata by Liszt, Marguerite et Armand is a marvel of condensation that distills the rapture of love, the agony of betrayal and loss and finally forgiveness in a brief one-act ballet.
Properly danced, Marguerite et Armand is unlikely to leave a single dry eye in the house; and from the variety of casts on offer we would highlight as particularly enticing the pairings of Alessandra Ferri/Federico Bonnelli and Marinela Nuñez/Vadim Muntagirov.
The Royal Ballet's current Resident Choreographer is Wayne McGregor. His Obsidian Tear, created two years ago for an all-male cast to music by Esa-Pekka Salonen, is having its first revival. With a spectacular set depicting a volcanic environment, it suggests a ritual sacrifice in an ancient civilisation.
The evening ends on a note of fun and jollity with Kenneth MacMillan's uncharacteristically light-hearted Elite Syncopations, choreographed on pieces by Scott Joplin and other ragtime musicians.
The dancers have a ball in more ways than one with this fun crowd-pleaser, and are likely to send you home on a high.

Analyzing 30 OECD-countries in 1980-2005, this paper documents the effect of an aging electorate on retirement spending. The first outcome is that an increase of the age of the median voter does not lead to a significant increase in retirement spending relative to GDP, whereas the dependency ratio does. The second outcome is that neither the age of the median voter nor the dependency ratio leads to lower benefits per retiree. These results do not change when health care costs are considered instead. These results contradict the main prediction of median voter models that an older median voter successfully pushes for higher individual benefits.

George W. Bush Says He's 'Deeply Concerned' About What Biden Is Doing in the Middle East
By Dillon Burroughs May 20, 2021 at 10:46am
Former President George W. Bush said during a Fox News interview that aired Thursday that completely withdrawing U.S. armed forces from Afghanistan is not necessary and could create a vacuum in the region.
"I've always warned that no U.S. presence in Afghanistan will create a vacuum, and into that vacuum is likely to come people who treat women as second-class citizens," Bush said during the interview.
"I'm also deeply concerned about the sacrifices of our soldiers, and our intelligence community, will be forgotten," the former president said.
"And you know, was it necessary? I don't think so," Bush added.

The comments took place as Bush discussed his new book "Out of Many, One: Portraits of America's Immigrants." The title includes a collection of images featuring several paintings by the former president.
President Joe Biden announced in April that the 2,500 U.S. troops remaining in Afghanistan would be pulled out by Sept. 11, the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Some conservatives have criticized Biden's plans to remove the remaining American forces.
GOP Rep. Michael Waltz of Florida, a U.S. Army Special Forces veteran who served in Afghanistan, is among those who oppose Biden's plan.

"Nobody wants the troops to come home more than those of us who have had to sacrifice so much, but the last thing I want to see is another 9/11," he told Fox News in April.
"The best way that I think to cause another 9-11 to happen is to pull all of our troops out of Afghanistan when half the world's terrorist organizations are still there and the intelligence community is very clear they intend to hit us again," he continued.

Waltz, who still serves as a colonel in the National Guard, likened Biden's decision to Obama's call in 2011 to pull U.S. troops from Iraq.

The congressman argued that the withdrawal led to the rise of ISIS.
"This is repeating Obama in Iraq all over again, but it's worse," Waltz said. "We lost far more troops having to fight our way back in."
He urged Biden not to put the U.S. in a position of weakness.
There are also concerns the terror network that helped carry out 9/11 is claiming that the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan is a victory, according to an April report.
CNN claimed that "two al Qaeda operatives" whose names are not used gave CNN an exclusive interview "conducted through intermediaries."
In the interview, released by CNN to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the death of 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaida operatives said that the "war against the US will be continuing on all other fronts unless they are expelled from the rest of the Islamic world."

Abstract: This study has investigated the relative involvement of cholinergic, adrenergic, nitric oxide and tachykininergic transmission in extrinsic neural influences on the lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) in urethane anaesthetized ferrets. A micromanometric assembly (OD 1.75 mm) incorporating a sleeve sensor was used for high-fidelity oesophageal, LOS and gastric pressure measurement at low perfusion rates (< 0.1 ml/min). The LOS response to vagal and splanchnic nerve stimulation (0.5 ms pulse width, 10 s duration) was frequency- and voltage-dependent. LOS responses to stimulation at 20 V, 10 Hz were investigated in separate groups of animals with either L-NAME (100 mg/kg), hexamethonium (15 mg/kg), guanethidine (5 mg/kg), CP96,345 (NK-1 antagonist, 4 mg/kg), atropine (0.4 mg/kg) or propranolol (1 mg/kg). Propranolol treatment was followed by yohimbine (1 mg/kg) and prazosin (0.25 mg/kg). Vagal stimulation caused an immediate decrease in LOS pressure, followed by increase on cessation of stimulation, followed by a prolonged decrease (77 +/- 2%) for up to 5 min. L-NAME did not affect inhibition, but increased excitation 4-fold (p < 0.001). Guanethidine and CP96,345 had no major effect. Hexamethonium decreased the inhibitory (p < 0.05) and excitatory (p < 0.01) responses. Atropine reduced the excitatory response (p < 0.05). Some inhibition still remained if all treatments were combined. Splanchnic stimulation reduced LOS pressure by 70 +/- 6% for 101 +/- 17 s. L-NAME, guanethidine, hexamethonium and CP96,345 all independently significantly reduced inhibition. The combination of guanethidine and CP96,345 usually abolished splanchnic-induced inhibition. Atropine was without effect. Propranolol (1 mg/kg) changed the splanchnic-induced response from mainly inhibition to excitation (100 +/- 44% increase). LOS responses to noradrenaline (1-10 micrograms close IA) showed similar features to responses to splanchnic stimulation. We conclude that vagal stimulation evokes LOS relaxation via activation of established cholinergic and NANC mechanisms and other, unidentified mechanisms. Splanchnic stimulation activates adrenergic neurones probably via nicotinic and non-nicotinic ganglionic mechanisms, which in turn elicit beta adrenergic inhibitory effects on the LOS. Splanchnic stimulation also antidromically activates spinal afferent fibres. These may release substance P from peripheral myenteric plexus and prevertebral ganglionic endings causing activation of myenteric NANC inhibitory neurones and sympathetic neurones, respectively.

KENT STATE FOOTBALL | After 97 seasons, Flashes can call themselves bowl champs
By Allen Moff Staff Writer
Northeast Ohio football fans born after 1964 may never get to see the Cleveland Browns win a Super Bowl, but they can now say they were around when Kent State earned a bowl victory.
The Golden Flashes, playing just their fourth bowl game in 97 seasons on the gridiron, upset Utah State 51-41 in Friday night's Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl in Texas to claim the first postseason win in program history.
While the Browns have posted just two winning seasons since returning to the NFL in 1999, the Flashes notched only their third winning campaign over that same two-decade stretch. Kent State reached seven wins for just the second time since 1977 by closing 2019 with four consecutive triumphs.
Second-year head coach Sean Lewis and the Flashes were proud to carry the Northeast Ohio football torch to Texas and bring home a winner.
"You come to Northeast Ohio, there's true grit, true toughness. These kids have embodied that," said Lewis. "Any time that we can embody our community and represent our community and our conference the way we did (on Friday) … we play really good football in the (Mid-American Conference). These kids work, they compete. This is high-caliber football that we showed tonight."
The Browns will enter Sunday's home game against Baltimore with a less than one percent chance of making the 2019 NFL Playoffs. The Flashes' chances of winning a 2019 bowl game couldn't have been much better when they were sitting at 3-6, needing three straight wins to attain bowl eligibility, and trailing Buffalo by 21 points midway through the fourth quarter of game 10 on Nov. 14 at Dix Stadium.
Three touchdowns in a span of 2:47 later, the contest was tied. A successful onside kick and a blocked punt fueled a shocking rally that sophomore kicker Matthew Trickett completed with a 44-yard field goal on the final play of the game that gave Kent State a 30-27 victory over the Bulls that kept its bowl hopes alive.
The Flashes followed with tough triumphs over Ball State, which defeated MAC champion Miami a week later, and at Eastern Michigan — which knocked off Illinois in September — to become bowl eligible for the first time since the MAC East Division championship season of 2012.
Kent State then took full advantage of its unlikely bowl bid by winning a wild Friday night affair over a loaded Utah State squad that featured prized NFL prospect Jordan Love at quarterback.
"It's truly a special evening, the culmination of two years of hard work," said Lewis, whose first KSU squad finished 2-10. "At any point in time, you've got to fail before you succeed. I think a lot of people, when they fail, they quit. These kids didn't quit. They've got a resiliency, they've got a grit about them. They believe in each other, and they believe in themselves. They'll be connected from now on wherever they go. When they get together 10 years from now, they'll be the ones that won a bowl game and changed the future of Kent State football because of the hard work they put in and the love that they have for one another."
Lewis has fostered that collective belief, resurrecting a beleaguered Flashes program that's struggled immensely for the better part of the last four decades by increasing the standards, accountability and enjoyment levels dramatically since he became the youngest head coach in the nation at age 32.
"The way coach Lewis pushes us to a limit that we think we can't get to, and we can actually get to it, that's what this program's about," said third-year wide receiver Antwan Dixon. "I'm proud of myself for sticking with it, even through all of those losing seasons. We've changed the culture."
Dixon is among a slew of KSU stars who will return next year. He is listed as a redshirt senior, but has a year of eligibility remaining after missing two seasons while battling the rare blood disease aplastic anemia. Dixon was forced to undergo a life-saving bone marrow transplant from his father in 2017, and was back with the Flashes just under 14 months later.
Dixon caught five passes for a career-high 99 yards and a touchdown against the Aggies.
"We stuck together in tough times," said Dixon. "Getting a winning season, getting the culture started, that's what it's all about."
Flashes junior quarterback Dustin Crum, who opened the season as a backup, has slid under the national radar despite producing stellar numbers in 2019. His days of living incognito ended Friday night, when Crum shredded Utah State for 449 total yards and three touchdowns on national television.
Crum said all week that his goal was to win the game, not the quarterback matchup with Love. He did both.
Love was certainly no slouch. He showed off his rocket arm and athleticism that has NFL scouts drooling while completing 30-of-39 passes for 317 yards and three touchdowns.
Crum hung with Love as a passer, completing 21-of-26 tosses for 289 yards and two scores. But Crum's elusiveness as a rusher was the separator as the former Midview High School star scampered for a career-high 147 yards on 23 carries with a touchdown.
"It wasn't any individual effort, it was a group thing. Big plays by different guys at different times in all three phases got it done for us," said Crum. "The culture we're building, it's been a really fun experience. I couldn't be happier."
Crum finished the 2019 campaign with a school record 69.33 completion percentage (217-of-313, 2,625 yards), 20 touchdowns compared to two interceptions, and a team-leading 707 yards rushing. His effort this fall ranks right up there with former star Flashes quarterbacks Joshua Cribbs, Julian Edelman and Jose Davis, none of whom played in a bowl game.
Dixon and Crum were among the many heroes for the Flashes, both Friday and all season long.
Crum was named Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl Offensive MVP, while junior safety Qwuantrezz Knight earned the honor on the defensive side after piling up nine tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. Knight, a transfer from Maryland, had missed the last two games due to a head injury.
Trickett, the 2019 MAC Special Teams Player of the Year, booted a school-record five field goals against Utah State and finished the season 29-of-32 from inside 50 yards. Sophomore wide receiver Isaiah McKoy (6 catches, 103 yards) caught a 78-yard touchdown pass, his eighth of the year — all covering over 20 yards.
Seniors Mike Carrigan, Kavious Price, Nate Warnock, Will Matthews, Theo Majette, Alex Hoag, Dominic Hill, Nick Faulkner, Jamal Parker and Joey Palumbo (Hudson) played crucial roles in a career-defining bowl win. Sixth-year senior linebacker Matt Bahr could not play on Friday due to a knee injury, but has made his presence felt on and off the field throughout his Kent State career.
"Our seniors could have ran, could have jumped in the (transfer) portal, especially with a new staff coming in," said Lewis. "These guys battled through adversity to get to this point and leave their mark. This is a group that fights together. They pull tight when things get hard, and they showed that tonight. There will be a banner going up, a championship trophy coming home and rings on their fingers, which is a pretty cool season to have."
While the Flashes seniors will certainly be missed, a slew of playmakers in all three phases will return next fall looking to accomplish even bigger and better things in 2020.
"I'm really proud of our kids and excited to continue to build this thing going forward," said Lewis. "This is just the beginning for where Kent State football is going."


I am not sure why I am allowed to leave my house either. I look like a little frizz ball in this photo. Honestly, too many people are obsessed with their appearance in our society. Clearly, I care about my appearance, but not as much as I used too. I'm glad I don't care anymore, you waste too much of your life worrying what others think of you. I see a significant difference in how others approach me though. If I walk into CVS with a big messy bun, sweatpants, chillin' with no makeup on then no one cares to look or speak to me. However, if I walk in with the same outfit on with my hair and makeup done strangers smile at me or say hello. It's just an interesting observation.

What Tech Tools Should I Know to Land the Job? All recruiters agreed that you don't need to have a computer science or engineering background to land a business role within a tech firm. That said, thirst for learning, the ability to pick new skills up quickly and resourcefulness are things they are all seeking in candidates. Specifically, recruiters discussed the importance of social media (e.g. Facebook Ads) and video expertise for marketing positions. Advanced Excel skills also came up quite frequently with the ability to create pivot tables, macros, and more (especially for analytics roles). Having a broad understanding of digital presence, web design and coding also came up as a beneficial piece to working, not only cross-functionally, but with clients. What if you don't have experience with one or more of these tools? The panel unanimously says "figure it out." Use free on-line learning tools offered through your school (for example, Babson students have access to Lynda courses), download free trials and, yes, watch a YouTube video. At the end of the day, your resourcefulness and ability to get the job done will help your resume travel to the top of the stack!
How Do You Make it Past the First Interview? Be passionate about the company and be passionate for the job you're interviewing for. If you go into an interview unprepared and not knowledgeable about the company, the recruiter will figure it out. Furthermore, understand where you fit in the company. If you are conducting an informational interview with a recruiter at a company you're interested in, come prepared with a job (or two) that resonates with you. Often, students meet with a recruiter and then expect the recruiter to place them based on what they know about that individual's background. The consensus was not to do that! As Holly Peterson of HubSpot says: "Don't say you don't know what you want to do, find something and talk about it." However, all panelists agreed that candidates need to be realistic. If you have zero management experience, do not expect to go after a management role. At the same time, align your salary expectations with what you're seeing in the market as well as your qualifications. Remember, there are plenty of tools you can leverage to conduct salary research and CCD is here to help!
How is this Generation of New Workers Different from the Past? According to the panelists, younger candidates are no longer chasing high salaries. Rather, today's young professional looks for flexibility including remote work, unlimited vacation time, and bring your dog to work days! Recruiters will ask what is important to you so be prepared to answer that question with some solid reasoning as to why. Start ups are finding that fewer young professionals understand their options when equity is being offered. Again, doing one's research and preparing to answer these questions ahead of time is key. In addition, if accepting a position in Massachusetts understand your rights under the newly passed MA Equal Pay Law.
What Advice Do you Have for International Students Who Wish to Pursue a US Job Search? First and foremost, understand your visa status. You should know how you can legally work in the U.S. and what your visa options are for post-grad. As Miki Feldman Simon put it, "You need to know how to talk about your visa status because a lot of HR people and most hiring managers don't understand what it all means." Luckily, for Babson students you have access to Immigration Attorneys who visit campus frequently for talks on Post-Grad Visa Options. In addition, Grad CCD has put an immigration toolkit together including a video with an immigration attorney that addresses the H1B visa process. Always make sure you consult professional legal advice when you have questions about work authorization. Another piece of advice was to stay within the realm of what you know. If you have a technical background coupled with your business degree, look for roles where you can leverage your tech savvy. In short, those who seek visa sponsorship should not be chasing work in a new industry and functional area.
Are you a recruiter? Have you been involved in the hiring process recently? What new skills are you noticing among today's professionals and where are there gaps? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments and I will leave you with one more nugget from the panel: Get out of your comfort zone and network. Join professional associations, attend meetups and check out eventbrite to attend a company's Open House/events. Live engagement is a way more successful tactic to landing the job then sitting at a screen and firing off your resume! Good luck!

GUITAR whiz Gus G says the most immediate impact of being recruited by Ozzy Osbourne was "I could afford a pair of jeans and some french fries".
The 38-year-old became a part of Osbourne's touring band in 2009 after being head-hunted by the Black Sabbath singer. He dropped out of Osbourne's line-up with the return of Zakk Wylde last year.
Asked on the White Line Fever podcast for the impact of this chapter of his career, Gus G says: "Well, first of all I could afford a pair of jeans and some french fries. Secondly, I could pay the rent finally.
"No, I mean, it was great, the exposure. Everything was happening very fast. When something big like that happens, it goes by so fast. You really have no time to stop and contemplate what's happening … 'so now we've finished the record, next week we're doing a promo photo shoot? And then it's a video and then after that we're going to tour for 18 months? Before you know it, it's been three years gone by.
"So everything went by really fast. Sometimes it's hard to be away from home and (not) catching up and keeping up with family and friends.
"But it was a wonderful experience. It changed my life forever, for the better. It gave me a really big boost in my career. I already had my band before but a lot more people found out who I am, who my band was.
The axeman adds that there were, however, several downsides.
"The biggest sacrifice, as I said, was being away from home for such a long time and losing some people, cutting off some people from your life.

Girls Volleyball: Andover Wins Consecutive Matches
Girls Volleyball Secures 3-1 Win Against Loomis
Fall Sports • Sep 28, 2018
First Loss Spurs Girls Volleyball to Five-Set Win Against St. Paul's
Fall Sports • Oct 1, 2015
Volleyball Girls Allow One Set in Three Games
Down 24-19 in the fourth set of the match and facing a two-set deficit, Andover Girls Volleyball battled its way back to win five straight match points and a five-set victory over Loomis Chaffee (Loomis) in the end. Andover continued its positive momentum on Wednesday, beating St. Paul's 3-1 to propel its record to 4-1.
Although the team struggled to effectively communicate on the court against Loomis, it kept its composure and started to gain energy after the third set.
Claudia Leopold '18 said, "We were not communicating very well in the first two sets, and so we let a lot of balls drop, especially in out-of-system plays, because no one was saying 'mine' and taking control of the play."
"Our level of play really turned around during the third set because we stopped depending on the other team and the crowd for energy. Having that type of intensity on the court made us all react faster, call for the ball, and play as a team," she continued.
Once Andover found its footing, it was able to work as a team.
Post-Graduate (PG) Margot Forti '17 and newcomer Brooke Fleming '20 played key roles in the team's victory, earning several service points for Andover. At one point in the match, Forti served seven straight service points to extend the team's lead.
Serena Liu '19 said, "Claudia Leopold really helped in our offense with serves and blocks in the defense. Sidney Holder '17 and Sewon Park '17 dominated hits on the right side."
On Wednesday, Andover defeated St. Paul's by a 3-1 margin. Although the team fell short in the second set, key hits from Janneke Evans '18 and Leopold propelled the team to take the next two sets, claiming its third straight victory.
Leopold said, "We really focused on winning the first set because we knew that it would be really important for team spirit. In the second, we were more complacent and relaxed because of our first set win, so we lost that set. But, after that, we improved our communication and worked as a team to win the next two sets."
Following its two victories, Andover feels confident in its abilities to play at a consistently high level. Andover hopes to extend its winning streak when it hosts Northfield Mount Hermon (NMH) on Saturday.
Captain Evelyn Mesler '17 said, "For Saturday we are working on maintaining a consistent level of energy on the court and never getting down and allowing the other team to take more than two points at a time."

Jim Cramer's Portfolios of the Week
Here's what Cramer's been recommending lately.
Oct 17, 2008 11:35 AM EDT
Editor's note: Jim Cramer will present his 2009 stock outlook for the first time at TheStreet.com Investment Conference on Saturday, Oct. 25. Limited seating. Act now.
Updated from 6:58 a.m. EDT
Jim Cramer has taken a lot of heat in the media for his call last week on
NBC's
"Today Show" to sell stocks if you need the money in the next five years. Some called his comments "irresponsible" and "wreckless."
But Cramer's right on the money. The market fell 18% from his call to get out. Cramer isn't new to the stock market or Wall Street. He has been in the game for a long time, and he has the battle scars of running a successful hedge fund to prove it.
Don't miss Cramer's next call, and make your own judgment. Those who ignored last week's call and listened to the mainstream media's criticism now know what the "house of pain" feels like.
Recently, Cramer found opportunity in dividend-paying stocks, such as
(KO) - Get Report
; stocks hit by hedge fund redemptions, such as
(KBR) - Get Report
; and cheap industrial stocks, including
. Here are some Cramer highlights from over the past week as aggregated from his "Mad Money" TV show, the "Stop Trading!" segment on
and his
blog posts (these blog post links require a

(Editor's note: At the time of publication and/or original publication of his posts and shows, Cramer owned Altria for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.)

text: Q: The longest known cycle length of generalized collatz $5x+1$ trajectory The generalized collatz $5x+1$ trajectory, if $n$ is even then divide $n$ by $2$, and if $n$ odd then multiply $n$ by $5$ and then add $1$. For example if $n=3$, we have $3=>16=>8=>4=>2=>1=>6=>3$, so the cycle length is $7$. If n=$5$, we have $$5=>26=>13=>66=>33=>166=>83=>416=>208=>104=>52=>26=>13$$ So the cycle length is $10$. I've checked n up to $100$ and many of the trajectories seemed to be"escape to infinity". Does anyone know the other cycle length other than $7$ and $10$ $?$

Couple will be requested to come 30 minutes before their scheduled time. Couples who come 15 minutes later than their scheduled registration time, will forfeit their privilege of 1 photo layout but will still pay the same amount.

Just a year after the publication of "The Empire of Necessity," his roundly heralded chronicle of a 19th century slave uprising, the Pulitzer Prize finalist returns with a galvanizing portrait of Henry Kissinger and "the outsized role he had in creating the world we live in today, which accepts endless war as a matter of course."
"Kissinger's Shadow: The Long Reach of America's Most Controversial Statesman" builds upon a vast library of scholarship and journalism about the immensely powerful ex-secretary of state and national security adviser. To be sure, this isn't the first book to document Kissinger's role as a planner of secret Vietnam-era bombing campaigns and an enabler of Third World dictators.
Grandin, however, is up to something a little different: "Kissinger's Shadow" is as engaged with the present as it is with the past.
With an unassailable command of the facts — is it possible that he's read every word ever written about his subject? — Grandin explains how Kissinger's more baleful tactics have imprinted themselves on presidents and policymakers from both parties. And in a particularly urgent chapter, he assesses the devastating toll Kissinger's decisions continue to exact in Southeast Asia.
A sub-300-page model of efficiency, this is the sort of book that will always be timely, because it asks us to consider the link between today's politics and tomorrow's unanticipated consequences. (Though "Kissinger's Shadow" will be reflexively likened to "The Trial of Henry Kissinger," the late Christopher Hitchens' 2001 indictment, Grandin rejects the comparison; he says Hitchens' effort was overly reliant on "righteous indignation" and was "counterproductive.")
Grandin's book arrives in the wake of yet another redemption campaign on Kissinger's behalf; a host of establishment voices hailed his 2014 book "World Order," celebrating him as an unparalleled foreign policy wise man. Yet as Grandin shows us, "wisdom" might not be the first word that comes to mind when one scrutinizes his record.
In 1965, as an emerging defense operative, Kissinger reportedly described the Vietnam War as unwinnable, and according to multiple books about his rise, he felt Richard Nixon wasn't presidential material. His opinions didn't prevent him from joining the Nixon White House and pressing for repeated expansions of the military campaign in Southeast Asia.
In 1969, Kissinger-orchestrated offensives were launched in Cambodia and Laos — "two neutral countries," Grandin reminds us. Jointly, he argues, these lengthy campaigns — both of which were only revealed to the American public after the fact — stand as Kissinger's greatest transgression, an "act of moral insanity." An estimated 100,000-plus were killed in the two countries, Grandin writes, as "(m)ore bombs were dropped separately on Cambodia and Laos than combined on Japan and Germany during World War II."
Other examples of Kissinger's reputed misdeeds are not hard to find. Based on Kissinger's counsel, Grandin writes, the U.S. in the 1970s backed autocrats in Indonesia and the Philippines, repressive and racist regimes in southern Africa and brutal strongmen in South America. "All told," he adds, "the allies that Kissinger 'encouraged' in Latin America murdered tens of thousands of civilians and tortured an equal number."
Though none of the above should ever be forgotten, it's a litany that's been recited elsewhere in greater detail. But where many previous writers who've gone after Kissinger have focused on the immediate repercussions of his actions, "Kissinger's Shadow" is more attuned to their long-term shock waves. For instance, Grandin says:
• When George H.W. Bush mounted a controversial military campaign in Panama in 1989, he ushered in "the post-Cold War age of unilateral intervention," an era anticipated by Kissinger-engineered policies and programs that disregarded the sovereignty of foreign nations.
• When a scandal-plagued Bill Clinton launched air strikes in Iraq in 1998 after the country ignored U.N. resolutions, he was employing a Kissingerian maneuver, "bombing a country we weren't at war with without congressional approval, and one of the reasons he was doing so was to placate the militarist right."
•When George W. Bush's neoconservative advisers needed prominent supporters for their proposed invasion of Iraq, they found one in Kissinger, who saw "an imperative for pre-emptive action."
In Southeast Asia, meanwhile, Kissinger's legacy remains tragically tangible. The early 1970s bombings of Cambodia and Laos "are ongoing crimes," Grandin says, "since as many as about 30 percent of the bombs dropped by the United States, the vast majority under Kissinger's tenure, did not detonate. ... In addition to the roughly 30,000 Laotians who died under the bombing, these devices continue to kill hundreds every year, a total of 20,000 as of 2009. Many more are scarred and maimed. In Cambodia as well, delayed explosions continue to kill and maim."
Last year, Grandin notes, Kissinger was asked about Cambodia and Laos by Todd Zwillich, a tough-minded public radio interviewer. He defended his decisions, adding: "But to have to go over this again 50 years later, it's really absurd."
Or maybe not so absurd. As Grandin demonstrates in this stirring book, the 1970s aren't as far gone as some would like, and the sweep of history matters.

Q: Is proportion of weight at length a probability distribution? In biology experiment we often collect a sample of animals and measure their lengths. The length of a animal in the population is a random variable, so that we can estimate the probability mass function (if we treat length as discrete intervals) by counting the proportion of animals fall into each length intervals.
In the meantime, the weight of each sampled animal is also measured, and we could establish a similar "probability distribution" like function by computing the proportion of animal weight fall into each length interval.
It is very confusing to me because very often this -proportion of weight at given length distribution- has a very similar shape as the length probability mass function. And we can easily estimate such distribution with parameters (e.g. assuming normal or lognormal).
My question:
Although it is not a probability distribution of the length variable, can I call it a probability distribution? Mathematically, the proportion of weight at given length is a mixture of length probability mass function and weight distribution at length, so in the end will it follow a distribution as well?
Can someone shed some light on this "distribution" and maybe give some suggestions about what I can do and can not do with such "distribution"? For instance estimating such distribution, comparing the distribution, model the proportion using predictors.

A: Perhaps what you're asking about is a conditional probability distribution. The way I would describe what I think you're trying to describe is the distribution of weight conditional on a given value of length. Conditional probabilities are often modeled with regression; in the usual case of ordinary least-squares linear regression, the variable being conditioned upon is in fact treated as non-random.

Go for lunch, dinner or just cocktails with a view at this sprawling, 25,000-square-foot space, where interior designer Angela Chang and renowned architect Albert Montoya paired up to create a breathtaking new spot along the (you guessed it!) Hudson River. Signature cocktails include the Harlem Spice (jalapeño, orange, tequila lime and sour mix) and the Cucumber on the Hudson (gin, cranberry, cucumber), and the food's not too shabby, either, including ceviche, paella, steak and shrimp.


The leaves of this European plant are a grayish-green color with soft, velvety hairs. Common mullein is a biennial. In its first year, it grows leaves in a basal rosette It sends up a flower stalk and produces seeds in the second year. Most of the flowering mullein plants I've seen have been a respectable 3 to 5 feet tall. The specimen in the picture measures 8 feet tall!
Verbascum thapsus produces many seeds (between 100,000 and 180,000 per plant) that can remain viable for a hundred years or so, but it is rather picky about its environment. It likes sun, and seed will not grow if it is covered in shade. The plant does not like to get crowded, and you will most likely find it in open spaces in barren ground. The quality of the soil itself does not matter much – it thrives in poor sandy soils. Common mullein was first introduced into the U.S. in the mid-1700's, where it was used as a fish poison, in Virginia. It is now firmly established in the eastern US. The plant was also used as a medicinal herb, as a remedy for coughs and diarrhea and a respiratory stimulant for the lungs when smoked. A methanol extract from common mullein has been used as an insecticide for combatting mosquito larvae.

Examples are drawn from the technologies of war, transportation, communication, production, and reproduction.
Part five of a six-part series on critical reasoning. In this lecture we will continue with the evaluation of arguments - this time deductive arguments - focusing in particular on the notion of validity.
In order to succeed, an innovation has to be perceived as offering advantages relative to existing comparable products or services. For example, it has more chance of selling if it is cheaper to make and buy, does the job better or does something previously not possible, offers more features, is easier to use, or is reliable and safe. Relative advantage is sometimes called competitive advantage.
