Immigration, jobs, guns, taxes. These issues affect us all – and each is impacted by how we vote.
The past year has been marked by protests on these and other significant issues. And the voices of young people can be heard among the crowds.
March for Our Lives a week ago was organized by young people for young people. Many lent support to the Women's March and the March for Science as they begin to learn the power of their collective voices.
These civic-minded displays are inspiring. But without follow-through on Election Day, the staying power of these protests will be limited.
Too many young people – truly, all people – fail to uphold their responsibility to vote. Whatever excuse you may have – "I'm too busy," or "my vote won't make a difference" – is not good enough.
Change happens at the polls.
The City of Lansing includes around 19,500 registered voters aged 30 and younger. 19,500. Of that number, fewer than 2,000 voted in the 2017 election. That's over 17,500 young people who registered, but did not vote in 2017.

LSJ Editorial: Vote! It's not that hard
Register to Vote | Lansing, MI
In 2017, every item on the ballot was decided by a smaller margin than the number of young people who registered, but failed to vote – from mayor to city clerk, and every member of the city council.
Young people in Lansing could have a much greater impact by turning out to vote, and the same is likely true across the region.
In marches, protests and even as candidates, young people are engaging like never before. As more become engaged through causes, many realize the importance of voting.
How will your vote matter this year?
On guns – The debate over the Second Amendment rights of gun owners reached new heights when high schoolers across the country joined in protests. Decisions about new policy are surely forthcoming, and one way or another will likely indicate a major policy shift at the national, regional and local levels.
On civil liberties – Debates on gay marriage, abortion, undocumented immigrants, medical marijuana are all issues that have come up locally as well as commanded national attention during the lifetimes of today's youngest voters.
On college funding – Funding for universities, colleges, schools, etc. is decided by administrative budgets. These are approved by legislators, senators and representatives at the state and federal level. The easiest way to have an impact on debt currently being racked up by students is to vote for politicians who will make it a priority.
Young people have proven they intend to make their voices heard. One of the loudest ways to do that is to vote.
There is no better time for these voices to unite and make a difference for the future. We've seen the protests, we've heard the calls to action. Now let us see the follow through.

Immigration Court in Oklahoma
Most persons call it Immigration Court. The federal government officially calls it the Executive Office of Immigration Review. Oklahoma is part of the Dallas Immigration Court. The Dallas Immigration Court currently holds sessions in Oklahoma in Tulsa for detained cases only.
For detained cases set for Master Calendar Hearings or for bond hearings, the courtroom is located in the chapel at the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center, 300 N. Denver Ave., Tulsa, OK 74103. Only detainees and their lawyers may attend hearings at this location.
Non-detained cases for adults and juveniles are held at the Dallas Immigration Court, 1100 Commerce Street, Room 1060, Dallas, Texas 75242. This is in downtown Dallas in the Earle Cabell Federal Building and Courthouse.
Please note that up until August 15, 2014, the Dallas Immigration Court held sessions in Oklahoma City. However, for bureaucratic reasons, the Immigration Court and Immigration and Customs Enforcement ended this arrangement despite that 30 percent of cases before the Dallas court historically were from Oklahoma.
Earle Cabell Federal Building and Courthuose, Dallas, Texas.
1. To check on your case status call 1 (800) 898-7180. Please note that this information line is not always up to date.
2. The Immigration Judges do not like Respondents being late for court. Plan on arriving early. The most convenient paid parking is next to the McDonald's by the Earle Cabell Federal Building and Courthouse.
3. Do not be afraid to enter the courtroom. If you have court, then it is your job to be inside the courtroom prior to your hearing time.
4. If you do not have a lawyer, then most Immigration Judges allow you to ask for a continuance to obtain a lawyer's services. Do not wait until the very last second before your second hearing to hire a lawyer. Factors to consider in hiring an lawyer for immigration court include: 1) Trial experience in the Immigration Court; 2) Experience before the Board of Immigration Appeals and the United States Court of Appeals; and 3) Significant continuing legal education in immigration.

Жан-Луї Гез де Бальзак (; 31 травня 1597 — 18 лютого 1654) — французький письменник, найбільш відомий своїми епістолярними есе, які були широко поширені та читані в його часи. Він був одним із засновників Французької академії.

Біографія
Гез де Бальзак народився в Ангулемі. Спочатку вважалося, що він народився в 1595 році, але 1848 року ця дата була переглянута після виявлення свідочень про хрещення від 1 червня 1597 року, хоча відомості залишаються суперечливими, оскільки його свідоцтво про народження містило кілька невідповідностей. Він народився в заможній буржуазній родині, яка також мала аристократичні титули . У молодості він навчався у двох єзуїтських коледжах в Ангулемі та Пуатьє, де добре вивчив латину та риторику.

У 1612 році він зустрів поета і драматурга Теофіля де Віо, коли трупа де Віо відвідала Ангулем, та втік з дому разом з трупою.  Деякий час він подорожував разом з трупою, але коли в травні 1615 року трупа прибула до Лейдена, він записався студентом міського університету, хоча можливо, що також відвідував університет у 1613 році.

Завдяки своїм листам до знайомих і впливових придворних він здобув велику репутацію серед вищих кіл Парижа. На нього посипалися компліменти, врешті він став завсідником Отелю-де-Рамбує.

1624 року вийшла збірка його листів, яку зустріли з великою прихильністю. З Шато де Бальзак, куди він усамітнився в похилому віці, він продовжував листуватися з Жаном Шапеленом, Валентеном Конраром та іншими.

У 1634 році Бальзак був обраний членом Французької академії.

Помер в Ангулемі.

Значення «Листів»
Слава Ґеза де Бальзака пов'язана головним чином із його «Листами», друга збірка яких вийшла 1636 року. Наступного року було надруковано «Recueil de nouvelles lettres». Його листи демонструють справжню майстерність стилю; вони вносять нову ясність і точність у французьку прозу та стимулюють розвиток мови на національному рівні, підкреслюючи її найбільш ідіоматичні елементи. Таким чином, Бальзаку належить заслуга проведення у французькій прозі реформи, подібної до віршованої реформи Франсуа де Малерба. У 1631 році він опублікував панегірик французькому королю Людовику XIII під назвою «Правитель»; у 1652 році — «Християнський Сократ» та «Аристип, або Двір» у 1658 році.

З 1962 року його ім'я носить ліцей Геза-де-Бальзака в Ангулемі (Шаранта, Франція).

Norwich man meets Cheryl Cole
Emma Knights
Published: 7:33 AM March 24, 2011
A Norwich man who turned his life around following a spell of unemployment and being homeless has been honoured at a national awards ceremony.
Twenty-two-year-old Martin Wakenell met Prince Charles and was congratulated by singer Cheryl Cole at The Prince's Trust and L'Oreal Paris Celebrate Success Awards in London yesterday.
Mr Wakenell beat tens of thousands of young people and was one of four finalists in the Young Achiever of the Year Award, which honours exceptional people who have beaten the odds to achieve success and inspire others.
'Without the Prince's Trust, I wouldn't be where I am now. My life has changed beyond recognition and I'm so grateful for all the help and support I've received,' he said.
'To be up for a national award is the icing on the cake.' After losing his father when he was just 16, Mr Wakenell left school with just two qualifications. He ended up homeless and struggled to find full-time work.
Mr Wakenell joined the Prince's Trust's Get Into Hospital Services course at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, which is supported by Serco Group.
He shone in a work placement as a hospital porter and his success led to a full-time job as a catering assistant at the hospital.
Mr Wakenell is now completing an NVQ level two in support services.
He was honoured on-stage by Cheryl Cole and hosts Kimberley Walsh and Steve Jones in front of a 1,500-strong crowd at the Leicester Square Odeon.
Last night he said: 'I have had such a great time at the Celebrate Success Awards and I am really proud to be involved. I think meeting Cheryl Cole has been the highlight of my day.
'It has also been really worthwhile hearing other stories of how the Prince's Trust has helped turn young lives around. I'm really proud of the way I have turned my life around and I hope that my story will inspire other young people to do the same.'
Derrick Murphy, Norfolk County Council leader, said Mr Wakenell was a fantastic example to other young people.
'Martin's inspirational story shows that with the right support you can achieve no matter what your circumstances are,' he said.

Location Guide - Moonraker
North African Skies
James Bond is returning from a successful operation on a small private jet when the air crew, lead by the infamous Jaws, turn against 007 and he is thrown from the craft without a chute. 007 dives after the pilot who is also in free fall and wrestles the parachute from him. Jaws pursues the MI6 Agent but when Bond pulls the rip cord, the goon's chute malfunctions and Jaws plummets into a circus big top.
Back on home turf, it is revealed that a space shuttle on loan from NASA and the Drax Corporation has gone missing whilst in British care. Bond meets with M, Q and the Minister of Defense at MI6 headquarters. It is revealed that despite carnage of the craft carrying the shuttle there is no evidence of the spacecraft itself. 007 is deployed to the US to negotiate with the prominent aviation entrepreneur Sir Hugo Drax and investigate the missing craft.
At the home of the hi-tech Moonraker shuttles, Bond meets with Drax at his lavish Franco-mansion, imported from Europe piece by piece. He is shown around by the savvy NASA-based Dr. Goodhead, who surprises Bond in more ways than one. He makes the acquaintance of the willing helicopter pilot Corinne Dufour who meets a brutal death when she shows Bond more than she should. Bond uncovers documentation from a Venetian glassmaker and follows the lead to Italy.
Bond visits the Vinini glass factory in Murano. He joins a guided tour and spots a familiar face. He returns to the factory at nightfall to snoop around. Here he faces a masked assassin and the brawl ends with much of the priceless glass artifacts destroyed. The following day, Bond is again the target of an assassination attempt on the canals. A chase ensues that climaxes with 007 driving his hover-gondola across St. Mark's square. Bond discovers a scientific lab where masked scientists carefully arm space probes with poison.
After finding the probes postmarked for the Drax Corporation in Rio, Bond journeys to South America. He touches down at Galeão's Airport and quickly rendezvous with Goodhead. The agents agree to cooperate in their mission to thwart Drax's plan. On a precarious cable car ride at Grumari beach, Bond and Goodhead do battle with Jaws, who is now on the payroll of Drax. At the Brazilian branch of MI6, Q explains to M and Bond that the poison used by Drax's probes is rare indeed and 007 sets out to find the area where this orchid grows, deep in the Amazon jungle.
Iguaçu, Brazil
Bond is on the river when a band of goons, lead by Jaws, attack. With the help of Q's gadget laden hydrofoil, Bond defeats the pack and the incredible chase ends with Bond jettisoning the boat (by hang-glider) as it falls over Iguaçu. Stranded in the Amazonian jungle, Bond follows a lovely young temptress into a ruined temple in the wilderness. Here he is challenged by a gigantic python and runs into the damsel in distress: Dr. Goodhead. The pair escape confinement and board a shuttle.
Blasting into outer space, Bond and Goodhead arrive at Drax's super satellite, masked from radar and undetectable. Bond fights his way to the radar jamming control room and puts the system out of action, prompting NASA to launch a shuttle of their own. A battle ensues on the space station and Bond and Holly go after the poisonous probes in Drax's armed Moonraker 5.
Shooting Moonraker
Lewis Gilbert rolled cameras on the high-flying "Moonraker", his third Bond adventure, in August 1978. The home of this, the 11th Bond picture, would not be the Brit-based Pinewood Studios. Instead, due to high UK taxation of the film industry, EON Productions opted to host most the film in France. The 007 team occupied three of France's film studios and only the miniature work was filmed at Pinewood.
The crew spread themselves out across Boulogne-sur-Mer, Billancourt and Epinay film studios - the latter being the location of the stunning sci-fi set of Drax's space station. 007 and his support team journeyed to London (for minimal exteriors), Paris, Venice, Palmdale, California, Rio de Janeiro and even some skeleton work in Guatemala.
Above: On a diplomatic mission from England, James Bond visits the home of the Moonraker and fronts up against its eccentric creator...
On set, director Gilbert had to contend with a series of challenges including Roger Moore's ill health, who'd been stricken with kidney stones whilst on location in Brazil, and the comparatively short working hours and the temperament of their new French crew.
John Glen took a crew to California, prior to the principal photography on "Moonraker" began, in order to capture the highly technical and ultimately stunning pre-title sequence. Accompanied by B. J. Worth and Jake Lombard, like the Ski-parachute jump of "The Spy Who Loved Me", nobody was 100% sure they could pull it off. The pre-titles was tested, shot and edited in plenty of time so as to make sure it did not put pressure on the rest of the production. The sequence proved a huge hit with fans of the film and wows viewers even today. This would be John Glen's final film as second unit director, before he took up mantle of director on for "For Your Eyes Only".
Above: From the West Coast of the USA to the East Coast of Italy - Bond traces the shady dealings of the Drax Corporation...
The famed Italian Vinini Glass museum was paid a visit by the James Bond production when they shot extensively in Italy. Founded in 1921, Vinini is one of the premium crafters of fine glass art. Hotel Danieli is where 007 spends the night with Dr. Holly Goodhead. The Canals and famed St. Marks square are host to a fantastic gondola chase. The Lido estate in Venice was used by the 007 team to double for MI6's Brazilian outpost where 007 meets Q and M.
Vaux-le-Vicomte in France was the real location of Drax's estate (depicted as being located in California in the film) and the interiors were filmed at Château de Guermantes, in Seine-et-Marne. The Georges Pompidou Centre provided interiors for the Drax Corporation plans - including Holly Goodhead's office. The Kennedy Space Centre in Florida was utilized for its gigantic hangers when 007 is given the official tour and the sweeping exteriors of the Moonraker plant were captured in Palmdale, California. The second unit also shot an important action sequence in St. Lucie, Florida when 007 jets down the St. Lucie River, pursued by Jaws and his goons. The sequence is cleverly cut to seem as if Bond is approaching the impressive Iguaçu Falls.
Above: Bond has a hankering to go to Rio, following the suspicious probes and tracing the source of this rare poison to the Iguaçu...
After their work in California and France, the Bond team headed to Rio in January 1979. Here Richard Graydon, doubling for 007, took the precarious position atop the Sugarloaf Mountain cable car. Without any kind of safety setup he swung from the edge of the cable car to capture a memorable sequence. The Mardi Gras had been shot by a special crew earlier in the year, so all that was left to do was an in-studio sequence involving 007, Jaws and Goodhead set in a Rio back-alley. The Myan pyramid and Drax's shuttle deploying hideout that Bond stumbles across in the rainforest is Tikal Mayan, some 3,700 miles from Rio, in Guatemala.
The Iguaçu Falls were to a key location for the action team. The second unit, who had a life-size replica of 007's jet boat to bail over the massive waterfall, fell short when the model collided with the rocks and would not be easily unstuck. The plan was shelved and Derek Meddings and the model unit were tasked with replicating the boat's plummet in miniature. Meddings and his crew were also responsible for the thousands of frames of outer-space, all filmed at Pinewood and in miniature.

FORM and Function: Former DC Shoes Exec Launches MMA Lifestyle Brand
FIGHT! LifeWorld Extreme Cagefighting
By On Apr 22, 2010
(Whether you're surfing, training, or eating breakfast in bed, FORM has a product to fit your extreme lifestyle needs.)
As MMA fashion has evolved, it's begun to merge with the larger surf and skate-based extreme lifestyle apparel industry. That's partly because of guys like Mark Miller. The former DC Shoes senior vice president, alongside WEC fighter Urijah "The California Kid" Faber, launched FORM Athletics to take advantage of the crossover between MMA and the extreme sports communities.
FORM launched in stores on Jan. 10, 2010, and co-founder Faber as the only brand ambassador. "I don't want to just grab athletes and slap shirts on them to be walking billboards," Miller said.
Miller has built business for iconic brands, including Oakley, for more than three decades. He was responsible for launching the M3 snowboard line, and Miller's work with DC Shoes helped make the trademark a household name among young adults.
When he left DC Shoes in July 2009, Miller wanted to use his experience to create a new clothing brand that focuses on action sports and youth culture. Fortunately for Miller, he was able to connect with Faber through a mutual friend and tap into his fight experience to design clothes for fighters and athletes alike. "FORM comes through from the athlete. People like them. They aspire to be like them," Miller said. "I was lucky that the first guy I spoke with was Urijah."
It's not just a coincidence that Miller and Faber clicked over similar fashion senses over coffee. Miller said he believes Faber fits the image of FORM that he had in his head. "Just looking at Urijah, he's not tatted up. He's a collegiate champion, well spoken and has a college degree," Miller said. "We want to focus on those types of guys and bring them on board to the team later on."
Faber is more than just the face of the brand. Faber contributes to the design and fashion aspect of the business. As a fighter, Faber knows how a cup should feel in shorts and how the material should stretch, and how a shirt should feel while moving, Miller said. From the material selection and color palette to threading and graphics, Faber has a choice in selecting those for FORM.
Though FORM's aesthetic is a little reminiscent of clothing company Glamour Kills, FORM is supposed to be a brand infused with surf-and-skate aesthetic, and a merger between performance and lifestyle. Faber's surf lifestyle is clear in the collections, especially in the "Thunder Tropics" and "Swirlington" line. Miller said, "fight fans can expect premium products with great materials, great fit, and great style" at around $30.
From MMA fashion veterans TapouT and Affliction to the scene's newcomers RVCA and Triumph United, FORM will have some competition in distinguishing its brand in a world full of fight wear. But if DC Shoes' success is any sign of what's to come for FORM, other brands may need to step their game up.

Majid Jordan performs intimate show at Legends
Danny Liggio | Monday, February 26, 2018
JOSEPH HAN | The Observer
Majid Jordan is currently in the middle of "The Space Between: A World Tour." Before they hopscotch around Europe, the rhythm and blues (R&B) duo, composed of artists Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman, made stops in Chicago and Milwaukee. In between these two destinations, Majid Jordan was somehow convinced to play at a mid-sized Midwestern school, in a venue where the stage is raised probably only four inches above the floor. At this point in their career, Majid Jordan might be a little too big for Legends Nightclub at Notre Dame.
I arrived at about the scheduled start time of 10 p.m. to a sparse room with maybe a hundred people. I got to Legends early because, having been to only two previous concerts, I'm the type of person who thinks concerts start on time like a movie. Nothing but background music played for about half an hour until Stewart, the opening DJ, came on stage. The wait was fairly long, and the DJ's set was longer. He began with some classic music a la Q-Tip, then transitioned into a more excited pop music theme. While a reasonably enjoyable opener, Stewart overstayed his welcome once he began playing lyric less dance tracks. A few people danced to them, but most only listened.
Finally, at 11:32 p.m., about an hour and a half after I had arrived, Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman took the stage. Majid looked at the thin crowd from his position of slight elevation, smiled, and said, "We played one of our first shows in a place just like this." Then he asked if it was "midterms week or something." He seemed happier to have the opportunity to play such a small show on this tour than disappointed at the turnout.
The duo played a good mix of older songs and songs off their newest album "The Space Between" with a small but powerful fluorescent light display at the back of the stage. Their music ranges between a chill disco-esque funk and more excited modern R&B ballads — it's a perfect vibe for a concert. As Majid sang some pretty high notes and Jordan produced the music in more or less real time, the crowd swayed and bobbed without fatigue. At times, Majid would pull everyone into outright dancing with the characteristically funny way he moves. He would also hush the crowd when the music called for it.
Although Majid Jordan knew how to control a crowd, the crowd has a strong influence in the show as well. Majid Jordan took a song request or two from the crowd over the course of the night (while ignoring the repeated callouts to play "Hold On, We're Going Home," Drake's No.1 single they co-produced and performed on). They even acquiesced after a turn of the microphone towards the crowd resulted in a request to sing "Happy Birthday" to someone named Chuck. We all sang for you, Chuck.
As the concert just about ended, Majid Jordan, in a reverse encore style, asked the students if they could play one last song. Because of the of the quality of the performance — and not because of Majid's comments on Notre Dame being "a legendary school," which were appreciated — the cheers were loud enough to signal a yes. They finished their set and left with a goodbye. For the few who went, it was a lucky experience to be so close to a group so talented.

Space vehicle
Space vehicle explained
A space vehicle or spaceship is the combination of launch vehicle and spacecraft. The earliest space vehicles were expendable launch systems, consisting of a single or multistage rocket, which carried a spacecraft that was a relatively small portion of the total vehicle size and mass.[1] An early exception to this, the Space Shuttle space vehicle, consisted of a reusable orbital vehicle carrying crew and payload, supported by an expendable external propellant tank and two reusable solid-fuel booster rockets.
In the 1865 Jules Verne novel From the Earth to the Moon, successful attempts are made to launch three people in a projectile with the goal of a Moon landing. In 1880, The Pall Mall Gazette described Verne's Columbiad as a "space-ship" — the first recorded use of this term.[2]
The concept of a "space ship" (or "rocket ship") was further developed in twentieth century science fiction such as Flash Gordon, as a self-contained, presumably rocket-powered, unitized vehicle capable of reaching an extraterrestrial destination keeping its structure intact, and requiring only refueling, like an airplane. Real-world rocket technology did not make this possible; while the airplane requires an amount of fuel occupying a relatively small fraction of the total size and mass, the rocket requires an oxidizer in order to operate in the vacuum of space.[3] It also cannot use atmospheric air as its propellant; this function is served by the high-volume and high-mass fuel and oxidizer. Also, the high amount of energy required to reach at least low Earth orbital speed requires an extremely high proportion of propellant to dry vehicle mass. Also, mid-twentieth century structural technologies made it impossible to construct a single set of propellant tanks capable of holding enough mass to reach the required velocity. Thus, expendable multi-stage launch vehicles were the necessary design choice when spaceflight began in the late 1950s. However, starting in the 1990s, developmental work began on such unitary single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) space vehicles with projects like X-33, Roton, McDonnell Douglas DC-X, and Skylon. By 2020, most SSTO developmental projects had failed with the exception of Skylon, which continues development.
Current space vehicles
A majority of space vehicles currently in use are expendable, designed to carry a single payload into space but not for recovery and reuse. They typically consist of several stages which detach in sequence as the vehicle gains speed and altitude and propellant is exhausted.
Reusable space vehicles are capable of launching multiple payloads and can be recovered after each use. The only fully reusable space vehicles currently in use are New Shepard and SpaceShipTwo. Both of them perform suborbital spaceflights. SpaceX is developing their Starship to be a fully reusable orbital space vehicle.

Another Year of Impact in Our Parks
The National Park Foundation's Year in Review
Emily KaminNPF Blog
Redwood National & State Parks / NPS Photo - John Chao
The National Park System preserves some of our country's most spectacular natural wonders and tells some of the nation's most important stories. As the official charitable partner of the National Park Service (NPS), the National Park Foundation (NPF) has the privilege of helping to protect these sites for future generations. Thanks to the generosity of NPF's park champions, including donors, corporate partners, National Park Service staff, Friends Groups, and the community of park lovers, we achieved some impressive feats this year. We hope that this look back at our work in 2021 will inspire you to discover your own park adventure.
Protected Wildlife & Natural Resources
Elk in the grasslands of Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve

In 2021, we helped care for the magnificent species and ecosystems that reside within our national parks.
With the help of NPF, Redwood National and State Parks is restoring land adjacent to Prairie Creek, which has become overrun by invasive species such as reed canary grass. A multi-year project in partnership with Save the Redwoods League and the Arbor Day Foundation will plant native species along the site's floodplains, including Sitka spruce, coast redwood, bigleaf maple, branching willow, red alder, and black cottonwood. At the end of four years, a total of 2,430 seedlings will be planted. The restoration of native vegetation will enhance tributaries that sustain species like salmon and rainbow trout.
We're also continuing to support a project at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve which helps replenish populations of Rio Grande cutthroat trout in the site's creeks and lakes. Additionally, funding from NPF will help the park to manage its elk population, monitor its amphibians and plants, and determine the health of various ecosystems.
Preserved History & Culture

NPF helps preserve and restore sites that commemorate pivotal moments in our nation's history.
In 2018, NPF facilitated the purchase of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birth and family homes and their transfer to Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park. In 2021, NPF continued its support of the restoration of the homes by underwriting the cost of staff, materials, and administrative expenses for projects that will preserve the integrity of the building and the artifacts inside. The project helps ensure future visitors get a first-hand glimpse of the beginnings of Dr. King's life. These efforts were made possible by NPF's African American Experience Fund, which helps protect national park sites that honor African American history and culture.
Introduced Students to Our Nation's Greatest Outdoor Classrooms

NPF's signature Open Outdoors for Kids field trip program continued to evolve to meet the changing needs of students and teachers. In 2021, NPF provided funding to help educators adapt to new distance learning expectations, so students can access parks as classrooms, whether it be an in-person, virtual, or hybrid visit.
Collecting data in the salt marshes of Timucuan Ecological & Historic Preserve
These grants support the specific needs of each park site and its educational partners, with a special focus on students' social and emotional learning development. This year's hybrid programs included Cumberland Island National Seashore's virtual nature exploration summer camp and Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve's Salt Marsh Superheroes program, which utilizes videos, discussion, virtual field trips, student research and observation to teach about the "superheroes" of NPS.
NPF's support of NPS' Junior Ranger Angler program inspires kids to catch their first fish at the nearly 200 parks that allow recreational fishing. As part of the program, Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site led a day camp that taught participants about modern day fishing techniques, as well as the traditional fishing methods of the Hidatsa people, who lived in earth lodge villages on this land for nearly 500 years.
Invested in the Next Generation of Park Stewards
California Conservation Corps at Cabrillo National Monument
NPF continues to provide financial support to service corps programs, which bring teams of young adults to national parks across the country to accomplish critical maintenance and natural resource projects, all while learning technical skills and bonding with their peers.

NPF, with support from REI Co-op, is doing its part to help NPS increase diversity within the ranks of its wildland fire workforce by providing the necessary funding to pilot new women's fire corps crews.
In the summer of 2021, Yosemite National Park and Grand Teton National Park each hosted a six-person all-women fire corps crew. Some crew members arrived with previous fire experience and qualifications, while others were brand new to fire management.
These women worked within the ranks of the NPS wildland fire program at their respective parks for 10 weeks, helping with active fuels management projects and wildland fire response. The crews conducted prescribed burns and other treatments which decrease the risk of severe wildland fire, making local communities safer, while maintaining health ecosystems within the park. In Grand Teton, they treated nearly 100 acres, assisting in fuel reductions near historic properties and along park boundaries. The women were mentored by NPS leadership, including Superintendents, Division Chiefs and Fire Leadership as well as helicopter crews, wildland fire modules, fuels crews, and engine crews. NPF had the opportunity to speak to some of these women about their experiences, and how their time with the Fire Corps Crews has impacted their career journeys.
Enhanced the Visitor Experience

As park visitation continues to increase, NPF is working to ensure NPS is equipped to welcome a greater number of visitors and to provide people of all abilities with a memorable experience.
The Thomas Jefferson Memorial is one of the National Mall's most iconic sites, attracting visitors from around the world who come to explore the history commemorated by the monument and to take in the scenic views of the tidal basin. NPF is continuing to provide support for major upgrades to the lower level of the Memorial, which will involve installation of accessible, state-of-the-art exhibits that incorporate both tactile and audio elements. These updates help ensure that all visitors can learn about Thomas Jefferson's multifaceted story.
NPF, the Friends of the Smokies, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park celebrated the completion of a new trail that provides access for visitors of all abilities to one of Cades Cove's most popular historic homesites: the John Oliver Cabin. This half-mile, paved trail is approximately eight feet wide, which will provide adequate space for wheelchairs and other mobility devices.
Established Strong Partnerships

NPS units work closely with their philanthropic partners, also known as Friends Groups, to raise funds, implement volunteer programs, develop connections with nearby communities, and more. In 2021, NPF's Strong Parks, Strong Communities initiative built the capacity of 36 such groups to serve their NPS partners. We provided over $670,000 in grants to help these groups undertake projects like redesigning their websites, developing new education or volunteer programs, enhancing accessibility at their partner parks, and so much more. The grantees consist of organizations of all sizes, including partners of sites that preserve battlefields, rivers and trails, and heritage areas. A full list of Strong Parks, Strong Communities grantees can be found here.

AFC Fylde boss Dave Challinor expects wounded Norwich loanee Mason Bloomfield to be back at Mill Farm within two months.
Bloomfield. 22, is recovering from surgery after suffering a compound fracture to an arm just 23 minutes into his Coasters debut in the 3-2 defeat at Bromley on Saturday.
Manager Challinor confirmed the attacker is out of hospital and revealed the word from the Championship club is that Bloomfield should be back in six to eight weeks.
Challinor added that the 22-year-old looks set to return to Mill Farm once he has recovered, so could still play a big part in his fifth-placed National League club's season as they eye promotion to the EFL.
Challinor told The Gazette: "Mason was operated on on Saturday evening. It has been screwed and they have done what they have to.
"It was a compound fracture that came through the skin and exposed both bones in his forearm.
"He is back at home and able to move his hand and his wrist, so we are looking at six-eight weeks.
"Then it is a question of whether the player wants to play and the club allow it.
"The early signs from both Nathan and Norwich are that they want him back here as quickly as possible.
"He wants to get back out there playing, which is massive for us. It also says a lot about his character that he is not going to let this affect him and he wants to be back playing as quickly as possible.
Challinor was not happy with Fylde's defensive performance at Bromley and says his injury-hit squad must improve, starting against Biggleswade Town in the FA Trophy on Saturday.
He added: "The big thing for me is that you cannot expect to score four goals to win a game away from home.


If you too have been tempted by eye-catching on-line gambling websites which provide you with a chance to win big money by way of gambling online then you should first of all confirm gambling on line laws before enjoying on online casinos.

While many nations in the European Union have taken a soft position towards legalizing on-line gambling along with a view to boost tax earnings as well as regulate it at the same time, the United States of America is still thinking about on whether to soften its tough position for continuing with its ban on most forms of on-line gambling or continue to keep carrying on with its perplexing ban upon online gambling. Although some states in the US have passed laws and regulations that allow for charitable types of gambling, most states have nevertheless stuck to their guns by only permitting some types of gambling such as allowing land-based poker games or lotteries.
Most nations have either bowed to general public pressure indicating that online gambling might result in total loss of regulation because young children masquerading as adults might enjoy wagering without any obstacle. Other nations believe that online gambling could lead to money laundering over a huge scale. Still others believe that gambling online could lead to a lot more citizens falling prey to gambling addiction. These types of fears have forced the majority of nations to choose to ban on-line gambling, regulate it all or delay passing fresh laws over online gambling. Many nations and states also dread that they may not be able to collect taxes from on-line betting websites that might have their own servers in other countries even though some government authorities simply want to safeguard land-based gambling casinos located in their country or even states.

You need to undoubtedly pay attention to current guidelines as well as rules applicable in your country and also verify betting on-line laws before enjoying at on-line casinos so your money as well as your earnings don't disappear before your own stunned eyes.


A criminal justice professor at John Jay College said the case is disturbing but not an uncommon occurrence for law enforcement.
NEPTUNE - A day after a Neptune woman was charged in the killing of her infant, a criminal justice professor and community members are reacting.
The baby boy's mother, Jada M. McClain, 18, of Neptune has been charged with murder.
McClain and the man believed to be the child's father, Quaimere Mohammed, 19, of Asbury Park, also were charged with second-degree disturbing or desecrating the remains of their son. Mohammed was not charged in the murder. The video above details the charges.
"This is a pure case of outrageousness, especially for the general public, but for anyone in law enforcement, unfortunately, this kind of thing happens more often than you think," said Joe Giacalone, a professor at John Jay College and former New York Police Department sergeant.
He said in cases like this investigators likely would scour through internet records to look for signs of premeditation.
Giacalone said that there are a number of provisions under safe haven laws where parents can drop off newborns to places like police and fire stations without penalty.
That was at the forefront of the mind of Clevette Hill, 54, who lives off Monroe Avenue in Asbury Park, not too far from the last listed public address for Mohammed on the 1200 block of Monroe.
"I was shocked when I heard about it," she said. "They must have not known they can drop the baby off at a hospital or with the police," she said.
Aaron Sterling, 65, who lives in Neptune and was biking through Asbury Park on Saturday, said he was troubled by the news.
"It's just stupid crazy," Sterling said. "Putting a baby in a dumpster, that's cruel."

Thank you again for all of your comments. It has been so much fun reading them. And yes,, the ice cream was yummy - but I did skip the bananas on it. Decided that was much too healthy.
I absolutely love this little elf. It was my husband's from when he was a little boy (so another antique). Every year I find a special spot on the tree for it.
So now we've gone from the 50's into the 60's and instead of ponies I've graduated into kittens. My parents were very understanding when I brought Princess, the beagle puppy, home and then Brutus, the little orange kitten. Princess lived for over 20 years with them.
Now we are into the 70's - boy time sure does fly! This is our oldest daughter, Marta, in front of our "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree. Well I hope you've enjoyed the pictures today. Don't forget to go to Henry Glass Fabrics and comment there to win. Tomorrow I'll post another great link for you to see.
The first year we were married my husband and I had a Charlie Brown tree. He was out of town on business for most of December that year and by the time we got to the tree lot to buy a tree there wasn't much to choose from. But somehow even ugly trees turn out looking festive!
LOVE THE ONE WITH THE CAT!
The elf is sweet and so are the pictures! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful blond hair certainly runs in your family.
Beagles and cats - you are bringing up so many memories for me. I had Barney (the Beagle) and Buttercup (the orange cat).
I have two elves, you can never find the ones like they used to make.
We had a little elf, too, but he didn't look like this one. I sure wish I still had him!
It's been fun looking at your pictures and reading your stories. I had puppies and kittens too.
I can see that blond hair runs in the family. It does in mine, too. All my sisters have it, but ours is very fine and natural curly. I always loved it because I didn't have to put rollers in it. Have a great day!
I like the elf and you look beautiful in the magenta dress!
It is fun to decorate the tree with ornaments from many years ago. It usually brings up memories of people and things you were doing back then.
that elf is adorable. Great 60's photo. Very pretty dress.
What a cute little elf! I love looking at family photos...and not just mine. So many memories.


We aimed to evaluate and compare different ways of diagnosing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We searched for all relevant studies in January 2017.
Between seven and 24 pregnant women in every 100 develop GDM. GDM is when there is an inability to process carbohydrates properly, which leads to high blood sugar (hyperglycaemia). GDM can result in increased risks of problems around the time of birth for the mother and her baby. Treatment can reduce these risks, and therefore diagnosing the condition accurately means that treatment can be given to improve the health of mothers and their babies.
Different testing strategies aim to diagnose GDM. We wanted to compare the different strategies, to see how they affected the health of women and their infants, and to assess the cost of the strategies to the healthcare service.
We found seven trials. A total of 1420 women were included, in settings in Turkey, Mexico, Nigeria, New Zealand, Canada and the USA. Across the trials, different testing approaches and criteria were evaluated as were different diagnostic tests including different oral glucose tolerance test loads; a glucose drink; a candy bar and food high in glucose. Women were given these items to eat/drink, and this was then followed by a blood test to measure blood sugar levels and questionnaires. In some tests, women were required to fast from the night before.
The main outcomes we looked for were frequency of diagnosis, incidence of caesarean section, assisted birth and vaginal birth, and incidence of macrosomia in babies (larger than normal weight at birth). Other outcomes spanned a range, including any side effects of the tests, the mothers' preferences, and the health of the babies.
There were a number of weaknesses among the studies: the methodology was not clear and there were important gaps in the data. The studies in this review do not provide enough evidence to guide clinical practice and health policy regarding identifying women with GDM.
We are uncertain about which strategies to diagnose GDM are better, as we have assessed the quality of evidence as very low. Large randomised trials are needed to establish the best way for identifying women with GDM.
There is insufficient evidence to suggest which strategy is best for diagnosing GDM. Large randomised trials are required to establish the best strategy for correctly identifying women with GDM.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is carbohydrate intolerance resulting in hyperglycaemia with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. If untreated, perinatal morbidity and mortality may be increased. Accurate diagnosis allows appropriate treatment. Use of different tests and different criteria will influence which women are diagnosed with GDM. This is an update of a review published in 2011 and 2015.
To evaluate and compare different testing strategies for diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus to improve maternal and infant health while assessing their impact on healthcare service costs.
We searched Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth's Trials Register, ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) (9 January 2017) and reference lists of retrieved studies.
We included randomised trials if they evaluated tests carried out to diagnose GDM. We excluded studies that used a quasi-random model, cluster-randomised or cross-over trials.
We included a total of seven small trials, with 1420 women. One trial including 726 women was identified by this update and examined the two step versus one step approach. These trials were assessed as having varying risk of bias, with few outcomes reported. We prespecified six outcomes to be assessed for quality using the GRADE approach for one comparison: 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) versus 100 g OGTT; data for only one outcome (diagnosis of gestational diabetes) were available for assessment. One trial compared three different methods of delivering glucose: a candy bar (39 women), a 50 g glucose polymer drink (40 women) and a 50 g glucose monomer drink (43 women). We have included the results reported by this trial as separate comparisons. No trial reported on measures of costs of health services.
We examined six main comparisons.
75 g OGTT versus 100 g OGTT (1 trial, 248 women): women who received 75 g OGTT had a higher relative risk of being diagnosed with GDM (risk ratio (RR) 2.55, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.96 to 6.75; very-low quality evidence). No data were reported for the following additional outcomes prespecified for GRADE assessment: caesarean section, macrosomia > 4.5 kg or however defined in the trial, long-term type 2 diabetes maternal, long-term type 2 diabetes infant and economic costs.
Candy bar versus 50 g glucose monomer drink (1 trial, 60 women): more women receiving the candy bar, rather than glucose monomer, preferred the taste of the candy bar (RR 0.60, 95% CI 0.42 to 0.86) and 1-hour glucose was less with the candy bar. There were no differences in the other outcomes reported (maternal side effects). No infant outcomes were reported or any review primary outcomes.
50 g glucose polymer drink versus 50 g glucose monomer drink (3 trials, 239 women): mean difference (MD) in gestation at birth was -0.80 weeks (1 trial, 100 women; 95% CI -1.69 to 0.09). Total side effects were less common with the glucose polymer drink (1 trial, 63 women; RR 0.21, 95% CI 0.07 to 0.59), and no clear difference in taste acceptability was reported (1 trial, 63 women; RR 0.99, 95% CI 0.76 to 1.29). Fewer women reported nausea following the 50 g glucose polymer drink compared with the 50 g glucose monomer drink (1 trial, 66 women; RR 0.29, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.78). No other measures of maternal morbidity or outcomes for the infant were reported.
50 g glucose food versus 50 g glucose drink (1 trial, 30 women): women receiving glucose in their food, rather than as a drink, reported fewer side effects (RR 0.08, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.56). No clear difference was noted in the number of women requiring further testing (RR 0.14, 95% CI 0.01 to 2.55). No other measures of maternal morbidity or outcome were reported for the infant or review primary outcomes.
75 g OGTT World Health Organization (WHO) criteria versus 75 g OGTT American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria (1 trial, 116 women): no clear differences in included outcomes were observed between women who received the 75 g OGTT and were diagnosed using criteria based on WHO (1999) recommendations and women who received the 75 g OGTT and were diagnosed using criteria recommended by the ADA (1979). Outcomes measured included diagnosis of gestational diabetes (RR 1.47, 95% CI 0.66 to 3.25), caesarean section (RR 1.07, 95% CI 0.85 to 1.35), macrosomia defined as > 90th percentile by ultrasound or birthweight equal to or exceeding 4000 g (RR 0.73, 95% CI 0.19 to 2.79), stillbirth (RR 0.49, 95% CI 0.02 to 11.68) and instrumental birth (RR 0.21, 95% CI 0.01 to 3.94). No other secondary outcomes were reported.
Two-step approach (50 g oral glucose challenge test followed by selective 100 g OGTT Carpenter and Coustan criteria) versus one-step approach (universal 75 g OGTT ADA criteria) (1 trial, 726 women): women allocated the two-step approach had a lower risk of being diagnosed with GDM at 11 to 14 weeks' gestation compared to women allocated the one-step approach (RR 0.51, 95% CI 0.28 to 0.95). No other primary or secondary outcomes were reported.


If not Johannsen, then who?
Absolutely correct Crawford Rae conned the fans out their cash with empty promises just sell up and do one the Rae's legacy is they have ruined the club.
I'm sure Houston was quoted in the press stating that he has no desire to return to the dugout. While it is fairly normal for managers who become assistants to spout that line, there is a chance he wouldn't want to be caretaker.
One thing is for certain though; those two chancers Sutton and Anderson should not be given the caretaker role.
Yeah, he said on the radio before joining Morton that he didn't see himself back in management but could see himself in a kind of mentor/coaching role. He was very reluctant to come into full-time management in the first place when he was the Dundee United caretaker manager.
He appointed McKinnon who everyone was behind, gave funds for a full squad then took a hit on season tickets to try boost the crowds. Hardly conning the fans out their money.
Edit to add - there was also quite a big investment in sports science stuff which McKinnon asked for so if the club really didn't want to improve why would they have backed him with that as well?

At the end of last season, the fans were that pissed off that very few were going to renew their season tickets. So I can see where big B is coming from.
He didn't take a hit on season tickets, he made them cheaper to encourage more people to buy them and build a much larger loyal customer - win-win for all but certainly not a gesture of goodwill at his personal expense.
Edited by so72, 20 January 2019 - 12:52 PM.
And certainly not conning anyone either.
I didn't say he conned them. Although I think his intentions for Morton went down the drain when his father passed away.
Are you connected to the club mate?
Your posts certainly point to that.
I'd say it was a complete con unless he had genuine intentions of funding us to get to the top level. Telling our manager he's to cut the budget and trim a threadbare squad only a few months after making the statement suggests it was a blatant lie. There's zero evidence to suggest he has any ambition and spare me the crap about how he financed a squad for McKinnon. The guy had no players to start with and was hardly given a blank chequebook.
Of course he is. You can always cherry pick those that are. Nothing wrong with that but his opinion has a degree of bias.
I agree with the gist of these two.
I think I've mentioned this on here before, but with all the talk of a three year plan whilst handing out one year deals to players you'd expect to be key to a title push and, more curiously, to the manager, I've suspected for a while that all the noises in the summer was just a token effort whilst Rae Snr was still alive. Cynical as it may sound, an "ambition" to make the top flight in three years can't be as resolute as it sounds if at the same time you're openly admitting that you'll sell up if the chance comes along.
Whilst it wouldn't excuse the manner of his departure in the slightest, if McKinnon's made that realisation and been told that he wasn't getting any more players in January, then quite frankly the decision to move to Falkirk is a calculated, understandable gamble. Again, there's absolutely no justification for how he went about it, but at the same time, you'd be entitled to be really pissed off if you felt you'd been sold a duffer.
Regardless of all that, this is my first season ticket in years having taken all the summer talk at face value and therefore I expect the club to do everything it can to make the top flight in the next two seasons, starting with firing Johansson immediately and finding a suitable candidate. Rae and the rest of them have been allowed plenty of time for fannying about, so either they act quickly and ruthlessly to rescue their plan or they have indeed conned every single person who coughed up for a season ticket. Simple as that.
So you will be believing the 3 year plan then.
The season tickets were not on sale before his father died the comment of the 3 year plan was also made after his father died so what point are you trying to make here.
He said he wanted promotion in his dad's life time and sighted the 3 year plan at that point.
And do you think the way things are going and what the manager said yesterday about streamlining do you think he still wants to achieve that? Because if you do you are in a small minority.
What? I said he isn't interested anymore since his Dad died. Think it is quite clear I don't think that.
Don't think it's too far fetched to suggest that he might have had a legitimate 3 year plan, to get to the top flight in his dad's lifetime then he was floored by his dad dying within a few weeks and then the snaking when things looked to be progressing well making him reassess things.
The 3 year plan hasn't been mentioned since then, in fact we have hardly heard much from him at all.
OK, we could have been updated to say the plan is on hold but would anyone actually come out and say that?
Words like conned and lied to seem unfairly strong and suggesting intentional deceit without actual foundation, arguably libelous.
If there is a new plan, it does seem to be exit strategy.
It's not remotely libelous, even in England.
Maybe Iron man can answer some questions or is he still looking to compile answers to the questions from 2017!?!

Hedge Funds Have Never Been This Bullish On Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (CETV)
Published on December 14, 2019 at 8:40 pm by Debasis Saha in Hedge Funds,News
While the market driven by short-term sentiment influenced by the accomodative interest rate environment in the US, increasing oil prices and deteriorating expectations towards the resolution of the trade war with China, many smart money investors kept their cautious approach regarding the current bull run in the third quarter and hedging or reducing many of their long positions. Some fund managers are betting on Dow hitting 40,000 to generate strong returns. However, as we know, big investors usually buy stocks with strong fundamentals that can deliver gains both in bull and bear markets, which is why we believe we can profit from imitating them. In this article, we are going to take a look at the smart money sentiment surrounding Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ:CETV).
Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ:CETV) has seen an increase in support from the world's most elite money managers in recent months. Our calculations also showed that CETV isn't among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds (click for Q3 rankings and see the video below for Q2 rankings).
David E. Shaw of D.E. Shaw
We leave no stone unturned when looking for the next great investment idea. For example Europe is set to become the world's largest cannabis market, so we check out this European marijuana stock pitch. One of the most bullish analysts in America just put his money where his mouth is. He says, "I'm investing more today than I did back in early 2009." So we check out his pitch. We read hedge fund investor letters and listen to stock pitches at hedge fund conferences. We also rely on the best performing hedge funds' buy/sell signals. We're going to take a peek at the new hedge fund action surrounding Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ:CETV).
What does smart money think about Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ:CETV)?
At Q3's end, a total of 10 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey were long this stock, a change of 25% from one quarter earlier. The graph below displays the number of hedge funds with bullish position in CETV over the last 17 quarters. So, let's check out which hedge funds were among the top holders of the stock and which hedge funds were making big moves.
Among these funds, D E Shaw held the most valuable stake in Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ:CETV), which was worth $5 million at the end of the third quarter. On the second spot was Marshall Wace which amassed $2.3 million worth of shares. Millennium Management, Renaissance Technologies, and Two Sigma Advisors were also very fond of the stock, becoming one of the largest hedge fund holders of the company. In terms of the portfolio weights assigned to each position Zebra Capital Management allocated the biggest weight to Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ:CETV), around 0.57% of its 13F portfolio. Algert Coldiron Investors is also relatively very bullish on the stock, earmarking 0.05 percent of its 13F equity portfolio to CETV.
As aggregate interest increased, key hedge funds were breaking ground themselves. Citadel Investment Group, managed by Ken Griffin, initiated the most valuable position in Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ:CETV). Citadel Investment Group had $0.2 million invested in the company at the end of the quarter. Thomas Bailard's Bailard Inc also initiated a $0.2 million position during the quarter. The following funds were also among the new CETV investors: Peter Algert and Kevin Coldiron's Algert Coldiron Investors and Andre F. Perold's HighVista Strategies.
Let's now take a look at hedge fund activity in other stocks – not necessarily in the same industry as Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ:CETV) but similarly valued. These stocks are The Marcus Corporation (NYSE:MCS), Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation (NYSE:CDE), AZZ Incorporated (NYSE:AZZ), and Radware Ltd. (NASDAQ:RDWR). This group of stocks' market values match CETV's market value.
MCS 10 47370 -4
CDE 14 51790 4
AZZ 15 45998 1
RDWR 15 309696 -1
Average 13.5 113714 0
As you can see these stocks had an average of 13.5 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $114 million. That figure was $13 million in CETV's case. AZZ Incorporated (NYSE:AZZ) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand The Marcus Corporation (NYSE:MCS) is the least popular one with only 10 bullish hedge fund positions. Compared to these stocks Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ:CETV) is even less popular than MCS. Hedge funds dodged a bullet by taking a bearish stance towards CETV. Our calculations showed that the top 20 most popular hedge fund stocks returned 37.4% in 2019 through the end of November and outperformed the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) by 9.9 percentage points. Unfortunately CETV wasn't nearly as popular as these 20 stocks (hedge fund sentiment was very bearish); CETV investors were disappointed as the stock returned 0% during the fourth quarter (through the end of November) and underperformed the market. If you are interested in investing in large cap stocks with huge upside potential, you should check out the top 20 most popular stocks among hedge funds as 70 percent of these stocks already outperformed the market so far in Q4.

Coming Soon: WWIII with Russia News
War insanity is still on the rise along with the price of oil, so how long before the media starts running stories on the waging nuclear war with Russia? I predict we will see that sort of propaganda hitting the headlines in the next several weeks, if it hasn't already. Watch Pakistan...
The Neocons' Crazy Dream of World War III
In February 2002, neocon journalist Norman Podhoretz (a leading warmonger who is currently senior adviser to Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani) wrote an article calling for a new World War. He did it again in an article titled "World War IV: How It Started, What It Means, and Why We Have to Win" (Commentary magazine, September 2004), calling for what he called "World War IV", i.e. a war against the country of Iran that he demonized by calling its leaders "Islamofascists", who cannot be trusted with having nuclear weapons as can some other countries in the region that already have them (Israel, Russia, Pakistan, India).
What's going on? Is the world getting crazy or what?
Let us remind ourselves that 25 years ago, neocon Podhoretz and other dimwits wanted President Ronald Reagan to launch a (preventive) nuclear war against the Soviet Union. Indeed, in the early '80s, some neocon advisers around Reagan were deluding themselves and were arguing that the Soviet Union was preparing for a pre-emptive attack on the United States. They opposed President Reagan's efforts at rapprochement. They were pushing for the U.S. to achieve ''nuclear dominance'' and argued that only a ''strategy of strength'' matters. —Mr. Reagan ridiculed them with their hairy plan and he was wise enough to dismiss these exceptionally naive and warmongering "advisers".
