Jonny Pean wrote a new post, Forex: Being Aware Of Its Risks, on the site News on various finance topics 6 days, 19 hours ago
Like any other financial market, the highly rewarding forex or fx trading system is not without its fair share of risks as well. According to the BIS or Bank of International Settlement the market (where 4 trillion dollars are traded every day) is primarily dominated by the retail segment, among other participants such as private investment funds, big banks as well as corporations. The retail volume was tipped at $300 million in the year 2000, which went to become a whopping $313 trillion in 2010 (sources: Aite Group LLC a research firm based in Boston).
Backed by these staggering figures, its little surprising that the forex market will be saddled with risks, which traders should be aware of, before they start executing trades here. The ever growing volatility in the currency market is driven by the lingering debt problems in the UK and the US. As per wsj.com, the value of dollar experienced a record fall against the Japanese Yen in the recent past. However, such is the volatility of market, that within a day of hitting record low, the dollar bounced back by being 7.5% up against the yen. Therefore it is important to take measures against risks if you're willing to open forex account. Those who trade successfully are aware of the risks here. Since the leverage involved is high, there are higher chances of losing it big.
Given below are a few basic tips that will help you avoid these risks with ease.
A Few Measures of Risk Reduction in Forex
Overtrading perhaps spells the greatest of disasters for investors. You should be able to size your bet perfectly. Emotions play a huge role in this regard and they can dampen trades both when you are winning and losing. When you have a considerable number of successful trades initially, you might run the danger of being tempted to go on investing more in order to rake in more profits. Somewhere down the line, lucrative trades make you forget that higher investments entail higher risks. Seasoned traders know exactly when to exit their positions even if they are winning big. On the other hand, a series of bad trades often lead traders to put more money at stake simply thinking that there's still time for their fortunes to turn, which hardly happens and they end up losing big. Once again, it's very important to understand that there are "bad days" for the best of the traders as well. So if you are losing, then you should be prudent enough to close positions just after executing a few trades, rather than "holding on"
Scams are a regular feature in forex as well. There are a number of unscrupulous brokers willing to rob you off your money. Make sure that you are exercising due discretion to opt for brokers who are regulated. Different countries have different regulating authorities, so make sure that you're finding out which regulating body is controlling your broker.
The CFTC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the National Futures Association (NFA) are the regulating bodies in the US. In Japan the Financial Services Agency or FSA is at the helm of things. Find out about the other countries as well.

STILLWATER, Okla. —
College is supposed to be a time of indepencence — a chance to break away from the comforts of home, to get out and see the world.
But there's something to be said about those comforts — mom's home cooking, dad's advice or the familiar faces of friends, equine or otherwise.
Perhaps that's what made the five signings Wednesday in the Pioneer Fieldhouse so special — it just had that family atmosphere that you wouldn't get at a big unversity far from home.
"Anybody that's a Pioneer knows that this is a special place," former Stillwater baseball coach Tony Holt said. "I think anybody that's been around for any length of time will tell you that Stillwater High School is a special place and Stillwater is a special town. In a lot of ways, we take a lot of pride in the type of kids we put out here in Stillwater schools and in our athletic programs. ... It's a great place to grow up and a great place to be at."
In fact, the love for Stillwater runs so deep that three athletes — Jon Littell, Carson Teel and Chandler Rogers — will make the short trip down Duck to continue their careers.
Littell and Teel both signed national letters of intent to play college baseball for Stillwater graduate Josh Holliday at Oklahoma State, joining Corey Hassel as the third former Pioneer to play for Holliday.
"It's pretty awesome," Teel said. "Growing up, you always want to stay where you're closest to. Going to OSU has always been a dream, and it's come true now. I just can't wait for what's ahead of me."
"(Playing close to home) definitely played a factor," Littell said. "I wanted my parents to be able to see me play, along with all my friends and family and the coaches that I've shared this experience with."
Rogers, a wrestler whot moved to Stillwater from Spokane, Wash., before the school year started, will also have some comforts of home in Gallagher-Iba Arena. His brother, Jordan Rogers, is a redshirt freshman for the Cowboys.
"It's a neat deal that we've got kids going straight from here straight to a Division I college in all these different sports," Stillwater High School wrestling coach Doug Chesbro said. "It says a lot for our programs here at Stillwater High School and it says a lot about the programs at Oklahoma State that they're looking right here at home. They're not forgetting about the people right here that have been Oklahoma State fans all their lives."
Not everybody who signed a national letter of intent in the overcrowded Pioneer Fieldhouse lobby will be staying in Stillwater.
Stillwater volleyball players Carley Geer and Maggie Ireton will each take their talents to Alva to play for Northwestern State.
"It's really awesome because we already knew each other before," Ireton said. "It's comforting, knowing that you're going to a completely new place with at least somebody that you've been with for a year or so."
Ireton may rely on Geer for comfort, but Geer has her own supporter already at the school — her sister Alexia Geer.
"It's really exciting," Geer said. "I'm really looking forward to playing with my sister again and continuing on and playing with Maggie, as well. It makes me more comfortable knowing that I'm going to have someone to lean toward if I ever get in trouble or have troubling times."
And while Geer and Ireton may be skipping town, Ireton said it's those comforts of home that made Northwestern State seem like the right choice.
"I'm going to feel like I'm at home," Ireton said. "Coach (Gene) Krieger is a great coach and I like Alva. It's a small town, but I like country and small towns. Just the volleyball scholarship, the coach, the team and being able to bring my horses made it a great fit. It's also a little over about two hours away from here, so it's a pretty good deal."
Whether their college endevors bring them just down the street at Oklahoma State or a couple hours away in Alva, one thing is certain: There will always be family and friends nearby.
"I love every opportunity I get to watch Chris Perry wrestle, and I'm sure a lot of the other coaches feel the same way about kids they've coached," Chesbro said. "I will love every opportunity I get to watch Chandler wrestle. It's exciting to get to see kids move on. I haven't had a great deal of history with Chandler, but I'll have a full year with him and I know him well already. We'll be rooting for him over the next five years as he wrestles for the Cowboys."
The only challenge for Littell and Teel? Trying battle Holliday and Hassel for enough tickets to get everybody into the games.
"I hope it's tough," Littell said. "I hope a lot of people get out to those games and start supporting the Pioneers that are now Cowboys. It's going to be great. Being able to play for coach Holliday is going to be an amazing time and I hope the Pioneer family comes out and supports us as much as possible."

WASHINGTON — A biotech drug from Roche has become the first medicine approved to treat breast cancer before surgery, offering an earlier approach against one of the deadliest forms of the disease.
The Food and Drug Administration approved Perjeta for women with a form of early-stage breast cancer who face a high risk of having their cancer spread to other parts of the body.
Surgery to remove tumors is usually the first step in treating most forms of cancer. Perjeta is the first drug to be approved as a pre-surgical step.
Doctors hope that using cancer drugs earlier could help shrink tumors, making them easier to remove. In some cases, that could allow women to keep their breasts, rather than having a full mastectomy. Doctors also say that treating the disease at its earliest stages could prevent tumors from returning later, though studies have not yet established that benefit.
"By making effective therapies available to high-risk patients in the earliest disease setting, we may delay or prevent cancer recurrences," said FDA's Dr. Richard Pazdur, who directs the agency's office of cancer products.
Cancer specialists already use several chemotherapy drugs as initial treatments for cancer, but they are not formally approved for the use. The FDA originally approved Perjeta to treat breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body after surgery.
The FDA granted the drug accelerated approval for its new use based on a study showing women who received the drug as an initial treatment were more likely to be cancer-free 12 weeks later than women who received older drug combinations. Accelerated approval is reserved for drugs that show groundbreaking results for treating life-threatening diseases in early studies.
As a condition of approval, Roche's Genentech unit must conduct a larger follow-up study showing the drug's long-term benefits for patients. Generally that means showing that patients lived longer or had a higher quality of life due to taking the drug. Genentech, based in South San Francisco, Calif., has already enrolled about 4,800 patients in the follow-up study, with results expected in 2016.

What Is ISIS?
What is ISIS?
ISIS is the successor organization to al Qaeda in Iraq, started by Abu Musab Al Zarqawi a few years before the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of the country. AQI pledged allegiance to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda in 2004, and its Sunni fighters devoted themselves to attacking American forces and terrorizing the Shiite-led government in Baghdad that took over after Saddam Hussein's ouster.
What is the group's goal?
ISIS and its Iraqi leader, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, primarily aims to establish a radical Sunni Islamist state in the Levant region of Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Cyprus and Southern Turkey.
How did the situation swell out of control?
The latest violence began in late December when Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered security forces to disperse an anti-Maliki protest camp in Ramadi that he claimed was an incubator for al Qaeda. Thousands of well-armed Islamist militants rose up in early January in the surrounding province of Anbar and seized Ramadi, the provincial capital, and Fallujah, a restive city less than an hour from Baghdad. ISIS's massive, sophisticated weapons arsenal suggested that the group had been importing weapons from Syria, said one Iraqi Army general.
What is Iraq doing to stop ISIS's advancement?
Iran has deployed some of its Revolutionary Guard forces to fight the militants and has helped Iraqi troops win back control of most of Tikrit. They are also helping guard Baghdad and the cities of Najaf and Karbala. Separately, Iraq is requesting the accelerated delivery of pledged U.S. military support, particularly Apache helicopters, F-16 fighters and surveillance equipment, to help push back the insurgent fighters.

Two children injured in Concord crash
CONCORD — Two children were injured Friday in accident on Route 106, police said.
Lt. Tim O'Malley said Saturday that Bethany Judge, 27, of Concord, was turning left from Route 106 into a driveway for Walmart about 5 p.m. Friday when her van was hit by a pickup truck driven by Clifford Jones, 49, of Hooksett. He said the circumstances of the crash are still being investigated.
He said Judge and two of her four children, ages 5 and 10, were taken to Concord Hospital. The 5-year-old, a girl, suffered serious, but not life-threatening, injuries, he said. Two other children, a 2-year-old and an infant, were not injured in the crash, he said.
Jones was taken to Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, also with injuries that were not life-threatening, O'Malley said.

Bird Bits: Cardinals hit historic rock bottom in Seattle
The Story:
The Arizona Cardinals turned back to John Skelton in Week 14, but it only seemed to make matters worse in Seattle. The Seahawks defense forced an astounding eight turnovers, and Pete Carroll's squad coasted to a 58-0 laugher over the hapless Cardinals.
The 58-0 loss was the worst in franchise history. The previous mark was set in a 49-0 beat down by the Kansas City Chiefs on December 1, 2002. Arizona has now lost nine games in a row for the first time since moving to the Valley back in 1988.
In the victory, Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch tied a career-high with three rushing touchdowns.
In defeat, Skelton -- who was pulled in the third quarter -- threw for just 74 yards to go along with a career-high four interceptions. Three of those interceptions came on throws intended for Larry Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald finished with only one catch for two yards.
The Good:
It's not easy to find silver linings in the team's worst loss in franchise history.
Patrick Peterson recorded his team-high sixth interception on the season in the second quarter. It was only the second pick Russell Wilson had thrown over his last six games.
The Bad:
Where to begin.
In addition to Skelton's turnover-filled day, Patrick Peterson had a horrific afternoon in the return game.
In the second quarter alone, Peterson muffed/fumbled two punts, one of which was returned by Malcolm Smith for a touchdown. It was the first muffed punt returned for a touchdown since Quincy Butler of the St. Louis Rams pulled off the feat in 2009.
The six first half turnovers speak for itself, but even when the Cardinals weren't handing over the football, they weren't exactly moving the football. After going 0-for-15 on third down conversions in Week 13 against the New York Jets, the Cardinals followed it up by going 4-for-13 against the Seahawks.
Arizona had 29 rushing yards in the first half and down big coming out of halftime ran sparingly over the final 30 minutes. For the game, the Cardinals finished with 43 yards on the ground.
� Arizona gave up a franchise-high 58 points Sunday. Previously the team had given up 56 to the New York Jets (2008) and Philadelphia Eagles (1954).
� The current nine-game losing streak is the longest in franchise history since the team was still in Chicago back in 1944.
� Speaking of records not set since their Chicago days, the 38 points given up by the Cardinals were the most given up by the franchise in the first half of a game since the Chicago Cardinals gave up 38 to the Washington Redskins on November 9, 1958.
� The Seahawks set franchise records for most points (38) and turnovers forced (6) in a half.
� The Cardinals were last held scoreless back on September 14, 2003 by the same Seattle Seahawks.
� Stat of the afternoon: Arizona had only two more first downs (10) than turnovers (8).
� During their nine-game slide, the Cardinals have given up six non-offensive touchdowns.
Coming Up Next:
The Cardinals will return home to University of Phoenix Stadium to face the offensive-minded Detroit Lions next Sunday at 2:25 p.m. Arizona is already 0-2 against NFC North teams this year.

Identifying disparities and effectively targeting and monitoring efforts to reduce them has been limited by a lack of specificity, uniformity and quality in data collection and reporting procedures. Consistent methods for collecting and reporting health data will help us better characterize and compare the nature of health problems in underserved populations.
The Affordable Care Act and Health Disparities Data CollectionMany racial and ethnic minorities, people with limited English proficiency, people with disabilities, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities and other commonly underserved populations face unique health challenges, often have reduced access to health care and insurance and often pay the price with poorer health throughout their lives.
According to recent analyses of progress on Healthy People 2010 objectives, leading health indicators have demonstrated little progress in reducing disparities over the past decade. A recent Institute of Medicine report emphasizes that inadequate data on race, ethnicity, and language lowers the likelihood of effective actions to address health disparities.
The Affordable Care Act improves health data collection and analysis strategy on disparities. Section 4302 of the Affordable Care Act contains provisions to strengthen federal data collection efforts by requiring that all health surveys sponsored by HHS include standardized information on race, ethnicity, sex, primary language and disability status. The law also provides HHS the opportunity to collect additional demographic data to further improve our understanding of health care disparities.
In June, HHS announced a progression plan to begin collecting health data on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) populations. HHS is continuing to implement this national plan.
Why These New Standards Matter
The Affordable Care Act requires new standards to improve the collection and reporting of health care information based on race, ethnicity, sex, and primary language. Streamlining data standards will help us improve the ability to monitor health disparities among people with disabilities and better identify the significant health differences that often exist between and within ethnic groups.
For example, the diabetes-related mortality rate for Mexican Americans (251 per 100 000) and Puerto Ricans (204 deaths per 100 000) was twice as high as the diabetes-related mortality rate for Cuban Americans (101 deaths per 100 000) i. However, this information would remain unknown without more specific dimensions in data collection. The umbrella terms of Hispanic or Latino do not capture the individual ethnic group challenges that are often found within minority populations. This specificity allows us to better measure and track health differences in these populations and target interventions appropriately.
Developing New Data Standards for Identifying Health Disparities
Data standards were developed using the following criteria:
- Standards would be evidence-based and demonstrated to have worked well in practice for national survey data collection.
- Standards would represent a minimum data standard, with agencies permitted to collect as much additional detail as desired, provided that the additional detail could be aggregated back to the minimum standard.
- Standards mandated by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) would serve as the starting point for any data standard.
- Standards would apply to HHS-sponsored population surveys in which person-level data is collected via either self-report or from a respondent who serves as a knowledgeable household representative.
After the release of proposed data standards in June, comments from the public were sought, reviewed and considered in making recommendations for final data standards. The main theme reflected in public comments related to suggesting additional data categories beyond the minimum standards or adding entirely new sets of questions and measures.
Consistent with the discussion in the Federal Register Notice, HHS continues to emphasize that the standards proposed are minimum data standards, not maximum. Agencies may collect additional categories within the minimum standard categories as long as the data can be aggregated back to the minimum standard, and may collect as much additional data as needed, e.g., disability, as long as the standard data item is included. The new standards include two changes. Respondents may select more than one ethnicity. And, the term "Chicano" was changed to "Chicano/a," and the term "Latino" was changed to "Latino/a."
New Data Standards for Race, Ethnicity, Sex, Primary Language, and Disability Status
The final data standards, listed below, apply to the collection of data in HHS-sponsored population surveys where person-level data is collected via either self-report or from a respondent who serves as a knowledgeable household representative. Collection of the data will take place under longstanding, strict, statutory confidentiality protections governing HHS surveys. HHS will begin implementation of these new data standards for new surveys and at the next major revision for existing surveys.
Race and Ethnicity
The data standards for race and ethnicity build upon the OMB standard, adding the type of granularity for Asian and Latino populations that is used in the American Community Survey (ACS) and that was used in the 2000 and 2010 Decennial Census. The data standard can be viewed here.
The data standard for sex is male and female. The survey item can be viewed here.
Primary Language
English proficiency is the minimum data standard for the primary language data standard. The recommended question is used in the ACS. The data standard can be viewed here.
Agencies would have the option of collecting data on the specific language spoken, using the questions used in the ACS. The data standard can be viewed here.
Disability Status
The six-item set of questions used by ACS and other major federal surveys to characterize functional disability is the minimum standard for collecting population survey data on disability status. The question set was developed by a federal interagency committee and reflects how disability is conceptualized consistent with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health. The question set went through several rounds of cognitive testing and has been adopted in most major federal data collection systems. The data standard can be viewed here.
A Commitment to Reducing Health Disparities
The Obama Administration and HHS recognize the importance of a broad approach to addressing the health and well-being of our communities. HHS continues to make significant progress toward improving health and health care for underserved populations, such as implementing the Affordable Care Act, the law helping to improve access to care for all Americans. For people with disabilities, important advances are being made to ensure that diagnostic equipment like imaging devices and examination tables are built consistent with new agency standards aimed at improving access and usability for people with certain disabilities.
In addition, HHS supports Head Start and Child Care programs to ensure low-income children have the support and education they need to adopt nutritious diets and active lifestyles. The Obama Administration and HHS are working to ensure every American-regardless of race, ethnicity, age, disability status, gender identity, or sexual orientation-has the opportunity to live their healthiest life possible.

Glee and New Girl over Parks and Recreation? As if!
Glee and New Girl over Parks and Recreation? As if!
Janet McTeer!!! Romola Garai!!!
No one has commented on Ryan Gosling being nominated in both actor categories? He was hilarious in Crazy, Stupid, Love but I have yet to see The Ides of March.
Great set of nominations all around. At first glance, I don't see any that I rolled my eyes at. Although I thought Mildred Pierce was in last year's awards season?
I have to say, it doesn't bug me at the Globes because the acting is all grouped together, but the Downton Abbey acting nods annoy me (in general) this awards year (Emmys, SAG) because it's been up for 'miniseries/movie' yet the show has been picked up for a second season, and therefore is NOT a miniseries or movie. I sincerely hope, no matter how good it is, that it's not eligible for nominations next year, because of this.
I'm kind of surprised there was nothing for Melancholia, since Kirsten Dunst won the best actress award at Cannes. I kind of get it because of Lars Von Trier's comments at Cannes, but being a giant douchetard doesn't mean it wasn't a spectacular film.
And also... where the hell is Community?
I get why the big stars are there - the Globes aren't a serious show - it's basically just a party where stars hang out and get drunk. Also, the HFPA was first organized so they would have more 'clout' and easier access to stars. So of course they want the big stars there so the news outlets will still have easier access to said stars. It's just a bunch of journalists praising the celebrities whose good side they want to be on. Hence 'The Tourist' last year.
I so hope The Artist is gonna get at least something. I love that movie to pieces !!
poths Void: MarieM carries a rusty old blade in her handbag!
"Corporation, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." - Ambrose Bierce
The Tudors had 10 episodes each season, so I doubt that's true.
No Best Drama nomination for Breaking Bad!?
I don't understand the critical love for Glee as a comedy when Louie, Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, Curb Your Enthusiasm, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and Community are available options.
Sometimes I think I lost something really important to me, and it turns out I already ate it.
Oh wait, Downton Abbey only had 7 episodes in the first series, so maybe that's why it was eligible for Best Miniseries/Movie.
"Corporation, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." - Ambrose Bierce
What? Where is Community?!??
I recently watched the special features/behind-the-scenes on the stop-motion Christmas special from the second season. The cast was in a studio recording some singing (Yvette is really good!) and then Joel McHale said to the camera, "Suck it, Glee."
I love that both Viola Davis and Meryl Streep were nominated and Meryl Streep just wrote a piece for Entertainment Weekly raving about Viola Davis.
Is Octavia Davis and Jessica Chastain going to be splitting the vote for Supporting?
Should Jessica be campaigning for another film?
gosling was amazing in ides of march, very deserving nomination.
Just saw the descendants n loved g colony, I think his best performance ever.
Lots of really good performances in many categories.
Re Downton Abbey - I was just informed that it was submitted (at least for Emmys) before they knew they were getting a second season. So that explains the Emmys, but they've known since before the SAGs and GG's.
Though I'm sure in the past there were shows that were cancelled after just 1 season that won major awards in the acting categories (I'm thinking Gena Davis in that show where she was president) - it just bothers me really that Maggie Smith (who is awesome) won the Emmy over Evan Rachel Wood who was amazing in Mildred Pierce, which was legitimately a miniseries.
I would love to be in a theater (theatre?) full of people watching "Downton Abbey" whenever Maggie Smith is onscreen. So much sarcasm delivered with such relish: I think the audience would be howling.
I wonder what are they going to do for Downton Abbey series 2 come Emmy time.
SpoilerBTW, I finished watching series 2 online, and though I still enjoyed it, it pales in comparison to series 1.

The Tire Hill man accused of fatally stabbing his girlfriend Aug. 6 has lined up a well-known Altoona attorney for his defense.
And while Thomas Dickey says he is still in the earliest stages of trying to "piece together what really happened," the veteran attorney said he does not believe Demetrius D. Gibson intended to kill 21-year-old Elizabeth Miller that morning.
"A life was lost. It's very sad that she's dead," Dickey said. "But we can't rush through this without the full story – without leaving any stone unturned.
"From what I'm seeing," he added, "I just don't believe Mr. Gibson wanted to commit first-degree murder on this woman."
Police have charged Gibson with homicide, aggravated assault and other charges stemming from the incident in Moxham.
City investigators say Gibson and Miller had been fighting at their Tire Hill home earlier that morning and arranged to meet at the Dollar Car Wash on Bridge Street.
While in Gibson's vehicle inside a car wash bay, an argument ensued, one witness told police.
Moments later, Miller screamed for help, saying Gibson stabbed her, prompting the Tire Hill man to leave the scene, police have said.
Miller, stabbed in an artery leading to the heart, suffered major blood loss and died in a Memorial Medical Center operating room, Coroner Dennis Kwiatkowski said.
She was stabbed once, he said.
Police issued a warrant for Gibson's arrest the same day – and searched for him for more than 10 days before he turned himself in to authorities late Saturday.
Miller's mother, Barbara Stumph, said her family will not be able to see full closure "until there's justice for Lizzy."
"Fortunately, he can't hurt anybody else now," Stumph said Monday night, adding she was in disbelief when she first heard Gibson surrendered to police. "He's off the streets."
"But we still have a long journey ahead," she said.
Gibson's case has been transferred to District Judge Leonard Grecek's office in Roxbury. A preliminary hearing originally scheduled for this week is being continued to a later date, but one was not set as of Tuesday afternoon, court staff said.

Chartered in 1917, VFW Post 76 , the oldest VFW post in Texas, has served hundreds of veterans over the years, and its website says thousands have passed under the arches to the post along the San Antonio River.
Charles Zambrano, the golf tournament chairman, said more veterans who need services are returning from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, and the economic downturn is affecting veterans. The post decided to start a golf tournament to increase its coffers for emergency relief for veterans.
A Federal court in San Antonio has ruled in favor of state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, in a redistricting case that at one time threatened to dismantle her senate district.
The federal three-judge panel has decided to throw out Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's claims that the 2011 Republican-drawn map that broke down Davis' district into four to five white-dominated districts was valid.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Army North has a new commander. Lt. Gen. Perry Wiggins took the helm at 5th Army Headquarters at Fort Sam Houston, immediately after receiving his promotion.
The lengthy list of dignitaries included Gen. Edward Rice of the Air Education and Training Command, along with commanders from numerous major command centers around the country, and commanders from Sedena, the Mexican Army.
It was one of the last chances residents had to speak directly to each council member about a proposed revision to San Antonio's non-discrimination ordinance.
More than 700 people – more than last week – signed up. After midnight, Mayor Julián Castro had those who had yet to speak line up so they could approach the podium quickly because the council will be back in the morning to hear from more citizens ahead of its expected vote on the matter.
In the days leading up to the San Antonio City Council vote on the proposed revisions to the non-discrimination ordinance, the steps in front of City Hall have transformed into a stage for supporters and opponents.
On Wednesday, two groups that disagree with each other had an event planned for the same time.
He's not a multi-media professional, nor does he have formal training in audio/visual technology.
But District 10 Councilman Carlton Soules had last week's B session recorded and posted to his website because it was not broadcast on the city's public access channel, TVSA.
Several groups are now targeting Mayor Julian Castro for violating his duties according to the Constitution for supporting the proposed non-discrimination ordinance. The groups include the Bexar County Conservative Coalition, the San Antonio Family Association, and the Justice Foundation.
They are also collecting signatures to oust District 1 Councilman Diego Bernal, who has been spearheading the issue, for the same reasons.
Construction firms across the country are looking for skilled workers to fill positions but are running into a shortage of craftsmen.
A survey released by the Associated General Contractors of America shows at least 74 percent of construction firms are having difficulty finding skilled workers like carpenters and 53 percent report the same problem for administrative jobs.
The numbers are even more stark for San Antonio: About 83 percent say they can't find the workers they need.
Texas has a new Water Development Board and this week Gov. Rick Perry swore in three members of the newly-created agency that is tasked with finding new sources of water and funding various future water projects.
During the regular session, the Texas Legislature approved a bill that created Prop 6, which will go on the ballot this fall for voters to decide. The measure takes $2 billion out of the Rainy Day Fund to help set up the funding for the next 50 years of various private and public water projects.
Two women from the Austin area are launching a new online video game where the gamer steps into the shoes of several women in different socioeconomic, geographic and demographic brackets who are all faced with getting an abortion under Texas abortion restrictions.
The game is called Choice: Texas and allows users to pick from a set of women with different life scenarios and then chose which direction they will take based on the state's abortion restrictions.

Today we tackle the weight around the waist that so many women get after kids or just after slacking at the gym.
Many health experts call this the "mid-life muffin top" because of changes in hormones combined with bad habits and stress.
So here are some ideas to lose it:
- Processed foods are bad. Avoid them completely if you can.
- Run and hide from anything "family size"... portions are also a problem.
- Pick up a pair of weights if they're not already part of your workout routine.... even though you don't lift weights with your waist, it can better work your metabolism.
-Eat every three to four hours and quit at least 3 hours before bed time.
- Finally, the worse your quality of sleep, the wider your girth.
Some reminders as we finish off the first month of our "new year" resolutions.

Waunakee had to battle thru a tough first half, including three turnovers but put up 28 second half points to beat Wilmot 28-7.
Wilmot would start fast with a Noah Strasser touchdown pass to Zach Dodge to make it 7-0 Panthers.
It remained that score until the first Warrior's first possession of the second half when Will Decorah scored on a quarterback sneak to tie the game at 7 all.
Wilmot would miss a long field goal and Waunakee would answer on a Decorah touchdown pass to Willie Freimuth to give the Warriors a 14-7 lead.
Troy Laufenberg scored on a 20 yard touchdown run to give the home team a 21-7 lead. Waunakee scored another touchdown late to beat Wilmot 28-7.
The Warriors have won 45 straight games and will play DeForest next weekend in level two of the playoffs.

What do you get when a Polish-born woman and her Italian-American husband decide to open a deli? The Poletalian Deli, of course! No, seriously.
Husband and wife Steve and Edyta Masone of Whitehall Township held a grand opening of their Polish/Italian deli in Catasauqua on Monday. The business at 18 W. Race St. (above Catty Beverage) is the former space of Clifford Hummer Draperies.
"It's an interesting combination," said South Whitehall Township resident Teri Madison while savoring tomatoes and mozzarella during the business' grand opening. "There are not many mom-and-pop delis around anymore, so it's a welcome addition."
True to its name, The Poletalian Deli features a mixture of imported Italian meats such as capicola, pepperoni and sopressata, and imported Polish meats such as gypsy-style bacon, kielbasa and liver sausage. Homemade sides include coleslaw, potato salad and four-bean salad. There are also shelves of other imported Italian and Polish products, including pastas, olive oil, canned tomatoes, seasonings, condiments and candy.

Edyta Masone, who moved to the United States 20 years ago, says the store is a way to connect with her roots.
"Most of this food I ate as a child in Poland," she said. "I especially like the puffed corn. It's kind of tasteless, but it melts in your mouth."
"We're really emphasizing the Polish side of the store," Steve Masone said of the larger selection of Polish goods. "I'm Italian by ancestry, but she was born in Poland. The hoagies are definitely my flair though."
Made-to-order hoagies include everything from Italian and buffalo chicken to tuna and egg salad. Breakfast sandwiches, made with local farm fresh eggs, are served 8-10 a.m.
"My favorite hoagie is the lonza," Steve Masone said. "It's made with hand-seasoned, smoked pork loin, spinach, caramelized onions and provolone."
The couple, who have been married three years, travel to New York City twice a week to receive the imported items from distributors. The only items coming to them are pierogies, which are delivered from a Chicago-based Polish pierogie company.
"A lot of people around here go to Philadelphia, New York and large cities in New Jersey to get this stuff," said Edyta Masone. "We're offering them a much more convenient option."
The business, which also does party platters, is a true family affair. The couple's four children — Hannah, Gabrielle, Lucas and Jessica — all help. Info: 610-264-1590 or The Poletalian on Facebook.
Just west of Catasauqua, much action is taking place in Whitehall Township.
First, East Supreme Buffet at 2610 MacArthur Road (in the former Don Pablo's building) has closed for renovation, according to a sign on the restaurant's door.
"Please visit our other location, Sakura Supreme Buffet, at 2180 MacArthur Road," the sign reads. "We honor all gift certificates from East Supreme."
The business' reopening date is unclear as attempts to reach the owner were unsuccessful. According to a banner, the buffet will be reopening under a new name, Tokyo Seafood Buffet and Grill.
Slightly south on MacArthur Road, two eatery chains are gearing up for imminent openings in the small shopping strip at Schadt Avenue.
Saladworks at 2419 MacArthur Road (former Blockbuster space) is expected to open around Aug. 12, according to the company's public relations manager Mitch Donaberger. Other area Saladworks are in South Whitehall Township, Lower Nazareth Township and Hanover Township, Northampton County.
Next to the nation's No. 1 salad franchise, YoFresh Yogurt Café at 2401 MacArthur Road (also in former Blockbuster space) is set to debut in about three weeks. According to franchisee Theo Aranki, sewer and HVAC work must be completed before the all-natural frozen yogurt shop can open.
Other area YoFresh locations are in South Whitehall Township and Hanover Township, Northampton County. Franchisee Manish Gupta expects to open his YoFresh at 680 N. West End Blvd. in Richland Township, outside Quakertown, the first week of September.

There are so many handsome skaters! My number one is Sergei Grinkov. He was not only handsome, but very suave. I'm pretty sure one of those fitness magaziness would have made a spread about him on "how to build monster muscle".

Andrew Poje
Plushy is gorgeous in my eyes. I can confirm he has legions of devoted female fans. I never saw the big deal about Yagudin, though.
Maxim Trankov, Stephane Lambiel, Daisuke Takahashi, Brian Joubert, Florent Amodio, Guillaume Cizeron, Javier Fernandez - all very good-looking. Adam Rippon & Yuzuru are almost too pretty and angelic to be called "handsome"...but very easy on the eyes!
Andrew Poje is the most handsome I think. Jeff Buttle is simply adorable.
Do you use this nickname on Youtube? I like your montage..

After i read this thread my first thought was - o, so many handsome mens in Figure skating World
Adria Diaz is quite easy on the eyes too. I concur about Anton Sikharulidze, Robin Szolkowy, Morgan Cipres, Fabian Bourzat, and Gwendal Peizerat. A throwback guy is Joseph Sabovcik...but only with long hair
There was a time where I found Bryce Davison appealing to look at.
But then again, most skaters are at least average-looking, and many are very good-looking. Perhaps because it is performing art where you are also kind of judged on how you look, attractive children are encouraged to stay in the sport from a young age?
I had a huge crush on Yagudin during his prime.
Fernandez is very handsome and hanyu is so cute.
I judge by the scenario that if I were walking down the street and passed a man, most would not get a 2nd look. Andrew Poje is one who would , and probably a 3rd..... In fact when I did see him, I couldn't take my eyes off him even though he was standing beside the lovely Kaitlyn.
Addicted to FSU
Poje is good-looking (and tall) but needs a bit more personality. He's kind of soft-spoken and polite which is fine, but he doesn't yet have the brash personality and presence of Scott Moir, or the laid-back cool personality of Charlie White.
Maybe getting onto the World podium will bring out more personality and confidence in the years ahead.
for me... here's my list
Andrew Poje
Eric Radford
Scott Moir
Dylan Moscovitch
Javier Fernandez
Ingo Steur
Sergei Grinkov (RIP)
Morgan Cipres
Ondrej Hotarek
Robin Szolkowy
Evan Lysacek
Jeremy Abbott
Brian Joubert
Luca Lanotte
Rockne Brubaker
Paul Poirier
Javier Fernandez

Staff-recommended reading from the
KPL catalog.
This book started with a bus tour (The Poverty Tour: a Call to Conscience) and ended with a symposium held in Washington D.C., staring West, Smiley, Michael Moore, Barbara Ehrenreich (Nickel and Dimed, our Community Read a few years ago), and others. If you're into the Occupy Wall Street movement, you will like this book. It's a look into poverty, a political call to action, a history of poverty in America, and a manifesto for poor people. It's also critical of Obama.
The Problem in Numbers
12 Solutions
They argue that poverty should be a national security concern; it's not an external threat, but rather an "internal rot." Countries can be destroyed from the inside-out, sort of like what happens in the Hunger Games or the Detroit Race Riots.

Official figures show 112 people were killed by violence in Iraq in March, the lowest monthly death toll for Iraqis since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
The figures compiled by the defense, interior and health ministries were released late Sunday and also show that 357 were wounded last month.
The total death toll included 87 civilians, 22 policemen and 12 soldiers.
The previous lowest for a month was in November 2009 when 122 died.
Tight security measures that were imposed for Baghdad's hosting of an Arab summit Friday have led to a big drop in attacks.
Violence has dropped significantly in Iraq, but insurgents often carry out attacks in order to shake confidence on the Shiite-led government.

Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
Corsicana Police Chief Randy Bratton said Thursday there is no indication that the shooting death of 2-year-old Kinsler Davis was anything but a "tragic accident."
Davis died late Wednesday from what is being described as an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Corsicana EMS personnel were called to the home at 8:46 p.m. Wednesday, after the child's father called 9-1-1 and reported his son had shot himself.
Bratton said the child apparently found a handgun hidden in a bedroom at his father's house on North 30th Street. The gun accidentally discharged, striking the child in the head.
Davis was taken by air ambulance to Children's Medical Center in Dallas, where he died, according to information from the Dallas Medical Examiner's office.
Bratton told reporters Thursday the child's father was in a walk-in closet in the bedroom of the home when the accidental shooting occurred. Bratton did not release the name of the child's father.
"All the information indicates this was a tragic accident," Bratton said. "The father said he believed he had the hand gun concealed in the bedroom." The gun did not have a lock on it, Bratton said.
News of the tragedy spread quickly Wednesday night through friends and social media outlets, prompting an outpouring of prayers for the family, the child, and the first responders called to work the tragedy.
Kinsler's parents — father Chris Davis and mother Selena Barham — both reached out to supporters on their Facebook pages Thursday, appreciative of the messages of love and support in the wake of the tragedy.
"This is an incredibly hard time for us and our families but we appreciate all the encouraging words and prayers," Barham posted. "Kinsler was our world. That little boy is what brought us happiness. Please just continue to pray for peace."
Chris Davis wrote "Our hearts are gone. We want to thank each and every one of you for the support, words, and prayers. We may not know all of you, but know this...you all are like family to us and we appreciate each and every one of you."
A fund to help the family of Kinsler Davis with medical and funeral expenses has been established at all branches of Community National Bank and Trust of Texas, said Linda Timmerman of Texas Dermatology Associates. Donations may also be made at the Texas Dermatology Associates Corsicana office.
In light of the tragedy, Bratton encouraged those who have guns in their home to take precautions to prevent accidents such as the one that happened Wednesday.
"The message is even if you think you have the firearm hidden, hidden is not good enough," he said. Bratton said the use of a child-proof lock or a secured holster can help prevent accidental discharge of weapons. He said the Corsicana Police Department has gun locks available free of charge to the public.
Bratton said his department's investigation into the tragedy will be submitted to the Navarro County District Attorney's office to determine if any charges will be filed, or if a grand jury will hear the case.
