Calif. police monitoring use of force among officers
By Susan Sward, Lance Williams
San Francisco Chronicle
SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Police Department is doing a better job of intervening with officers who repeatedly resort to force, inducing some to stop routinely using fists, pepper spray and batons when making arrests and confronting people at crime scenes.
But experts believe problems remain with a small group of officers who wield far more force than their peers, The Chronicle found in a review of how the department has used force since the newspaper's 2006 investigative series on the topic.

Dear cousins,
I have a letter written in English I received from the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources/Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical Names. It is dated Sept. 14, 1971, and explains in detail the origin of the naming of Brodeur Peninsula on Baffin Island. I expect to scan the letter and soon post it on this forum.

Probabilistic approach of slope stability analysis has recently become the focus of attention of many researchers in the field of Geotechnical Engineering.This research presents a study to investigate the suitability of an expedient technique to search for the critical probabilistic slip surfaces and the associated minimum reliability indexes of earth slopes. The proposed technique is based on the Ordinary Method of Slice (OMS) as a stability model in combination with First-Order Reliability Method –I (FORM-I) as the reliability model. The Sequential Unconstrained Minimization Technique (SUMT) of solving constrained minimization problems has been used coupled with the above as the numerical scheme for minimization of the reliability index function. Using First-Order Reliability Method (FORM), with the help of a developed computer program based on the FORM in conjunction with the OMS, a few numerical example problems have been solved and some important observations have been made.

U.S. small business borrowing slows in February
WASHINGTON U.S. small businesses borrowing hit a five month low in February, in the latest indication of slower economic growth in the first quarter after an unusually harsh winter.
NEW YORK A late holiday shopping surge helped U.S. retailers beat analysts' sales estimates for December, but industry experts see the momentum fading early in 2010 as consumers return to saving their money.
Retailers from Macy's Inc (M.N) to Aeropostale Inc ARO.N and Limited Brands Inc LTD.N raised their earnings outlooks for the holiday quarter, and the Standard & Poor's Retail Index .RLX rose 0.4 percent.
"We have figured out that we can survive and maybe we can spend a little bit more than we did when we panicked," said Patricia Edwards, founder of wealth management firm Storehouse Partners, referring to late 2008, when shoppers pulled back on spending in the wake of a financial crisis.
"But Mr. and Mrs. Middle America have debts to pay off and jobs to find," Edwards added.
A total of 21 retailers out of 30 tracked by Thomson Reuters Data posted better-than-expected sales results for stores open at least a year in December, the most important month in the calendar for the sector.
Retailers overall posted a 2.9 percent increase, exceeding the 2 percent rise analysts were expecting and marking the best performance since a 3.4 percent gain in April 2008, according to Thomson Reuters Data.
Retail watchers said the December performance showed consumers warmed up for the holidays, but cautioned that a full recovery requires a better job market.
U.S. jobless claims rose less than expected last week, suggesting a better tone to the overall labor market. But economists still see unemployment rising to 10.1 percent in December from 10 percent in November.
The International Council of Shopping Centers noted that same-store sales for all of 2009 were the worst on record, down 2 percent. It forecast sales would be flat to up 1 percent in January and only pick up steam later in 2010 for a full-year rise of 3 percent to 3.5 percent, marking the biggest yearly gain since 2006.
"As the year progresses, I think you'll see the consumer stepping up their spending," said ICSC chief economist Michael Niemira.
Some of December's upside could have come at the expense of January, as shoppers filled stores the day after Christmas to take advantage of the biggest bargains of the season, said Al Ferrara, a partner in BDO Seidman's retail and consumer product practice. December 26 was the second-largest sales day after the day after Thanksgiving, according to ShopperTrak.
KeyBanc analyst Ed Yruma was unwilling to extrapolate December's strong results into a consumer recovery this year.
"The consumer is shopping, but they're pretty measured in what they're buying," Yruma said. "We're actually relatively cautious on the consumer in the near to medium term."
Macy's posted a 1 percent rise in same-store sales, slightly better than analysts' estimates, and raised its quarterly earnings view. Shares of the department store operator rose 2.3 percent.
TJX Cos Inc (TJX.N) and Zumiez Inc (ZUMZ.O) were also among companies that raised quarterly earnings outlooks. The moves suggested promotions were "relatively tame compared to last year and that retailers were able to hold onto margins," said Retail Metrics President Ken Perkins.
But he sees little impetus for increased consumer spending in the coming months, at least until employment picks up.
"It's all about the jobs," he said, adding that sales would have to return to at least 2007 levels for him to call it a turnaround. "We would like to see some mid-single-digit comp growth from these guys on a consistent basis."
And when it comes to profit margins, analysts warned that growth might be harder to come by as the year progresses and retailers cycle the inventory reductions and cost cuts enacted over the last year.
By sector, the strongest performance in December came from discount chains, which clocked a 3.9 percent sales increase, according to Thomson Reuters Data.
Costco (COST.O), the largest U.S. warehouse club operator, posted a 9 percent rise, exceeding analysts' expectations of 7.9 percent growth.
Sears Holdings (SHLD.O) reported a 0.4 percent increase in December same-store sales and forecast quarterly earnings well above expectations. Its shares surged 8.9 percent.
Target Corp (TGT.N) posted a surprise 1.8 percent rise, helped by stronger-than-expected traffic. Analysts had forecast a decline of 0.2 percent.
Beyond discounters, the strongest growth came from apparel chains that cater to both adults and teenagers.
Aeropostale said same-store sales in December rose 10.1 percent, blowing past expectations for a gain of 3.1 percent, and raised its outlook for the current quarter.
High-end retailers like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus Group NMRCUS.UL and Saks Inc SKS.N also surprised Wall Street for the better with larger same-store sales increases.
"We're actually to starting to see the return of the customer who will pay full price for differentiated product," said Brean Murray, Carret & Co analyst Eric Beder.
Retailers that fell short of expectations included Hot Topic Inc HOTT.O and Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF.N). Shares of both companies fell about 8 percent.
GameStop Corp (GME.N), the biggest U.S. specialty videogame retailer, said holiday sales failed to improve from a year earlier and cut its quarterly profit forecast, sending its shares down 15.2 percent.

Mistress Slytherin
He shivered and groaned as the silk whispered across his eyelids.
"Can you see?" A low sensual voice whispered. He groaned lowly and opened his eyes gasping at the complete blindness.
"No master." He whispered reverently his entire body tingling at the sensation of being unable to see what would happen next.
"Arms above your head, wrists crossed." The voice ordered. He hastened to obey relaxing at the feel of soft leather on his wrists. These were special cuffs, ones that weren't usually chained to the bed because they were made connected, keeping the wrists crossed. He knew the purpose of them tonight- he'd hesitated in trusting his master, the cuffs weren't chained to the bed meaning that he relied on his master completely to guide him. He sighed as fingers barely brushed the sides of his stomach.
"Forgive me master." He said quietly truly repentant for hesitating. The hands paused and he felt his heart flutter when a warm heavy body settled atop his.
"What made you hesitate?" He asked not sounding angry but concerned which he found himself grateful for. He licked his lips slightly, he truly had nothing to hide from this man, he'd seen everything after all, stripping him bare and knowing him from the inside out. The fact was that his master already knew why he'd hesitated; he might have orchestrated the entire thing simply because he saw the need to address one of his fears. His master wanted to admit it to himself- to heal.
"Regret." He said finally swallowing at how hard it was to push the word past his lips though he found himself somewhat relieved as well.
"For?" His master prompted. He took a deep breath.
"I wonder sometimes if I am being a good parent to them, I don't- I try to give them all I could have wanted but, sometimes I feel it is not enough…Seeing them board the train…I hesitated my master because I wondered if I have prepared them well enough. I wanted to believe you when you told me that they would be fine…but I can't help but want to protect them, to gather them in my arms and keep them safe from the world." A single tear slipped out from under the folds of the silk covering his eyes and a gentle thumb wiped it away making him ache.
"Do you not think that the world I have created is good for our children my pet?" he said in warning. He shook his head reverently. "Then why do you fear for them?" He asked his finger tracing the brand on his chest lightly.
"It is not your world master; it's the people in your world, I know that no one would dare physically harm them but the thought of someone hurting them in other ways…" He didn't need his eyes to see the smirk the man wore. He knew what was coming, he didn't like it but he knew it was coming.
"My pet, your trust in me and my actions must be unwavering, when I turned away from the train you should have as well, yet you hesitated. You looked back at the train as I walked away and you will be punished for it a promise you that, but the reason you turned back must be addressed. You turned back, not trusting my word that they would be fine. You were not the only one to have raised them- by turning back you showed that you didn't trust that I would have taught them how to handle such situations. Now tell me my pet how am I supposed to take that? As an insult?" He shook his head frantically the whispered word escaping his lips before he could stop it.
"Never!" His master paused.
"Speak then." He said softly. "And expect to be punished for interrupting as well." He nodded his head in understanding.
"My lord, my master, you know I love and trust you in all that you do, you know that I would never go against your word. It is not that I didn't trust you to teach them well, in fact that alone gives me peace of mind, but simply knowing that they will be able to cope with whatever they face does not change the fact that they will face things that may hurt them. I am their mother, I know they will hurt yet I don't want them to. I know that pain no matter the form teaches lessons that coddling and comfort never could, but that doesn't mean that I want them to be hurt. Forgive me master for hesitating; I felt fear for the first time in many years as I watched them roll away from me, I know that you will protect them, I know that you have taught them well. I am proud of them and as always I have peace knowing that it was you that took the time to teach them, but I will not be there to hold them should they need me to comfort them. I will not be able to protect them from their own sorrows the way I have since they were born. I want to hold them safe and warm when they feel cold…" He sobbed quietly unable to control his emotions. Even the comforting feeling of the cuffs on his wrists couldn't make him feel better. His master sighed and lifted him carefully in his arms, cradling him close to his chest.
"I know my pet, I know." He whispered rocking him back and forth in a soothing manner that he hardly ever used. "Why didn't you tell me this sooner?" he asked petting his hair gently. He swallowed and nuzzled into the warmth that was his master a satisfied smile on his face.
"Because I knew that you would understand my master. I knew that we would be here like this the moment I hesitated and that soothed me more than anything else could have. I like to feel you with me and maybe it makes me selfish but I wanted this, I wanted to be reminded that in all things, including our children's lives I am able to trust you. It comforts me." His master chuckled lightly and held him closer.
"My little snake, you never cease to amaze me." He groaned as sharp teeth bit into his shoulder deeply until blood spilled long trails down his arm.
"Master…" He breathed his face instantly flushed and aroused.
"Tell me pet, do you want more children?" his master whispered softly. Elation filled him at the thought.
"If that is what master wants." He said quietly a small smile on his lips. He didn't dare hope just yet after all it was his master's choice. A tongue lapped at the wound absently sending waves of warm inquisitive pain down his arm and up the nape of his neck.
"Wise answer pet but I want to know if you want more children." He found himself grinning widely at the thought.
"Yes my master." He said softly. "As many children as you want I will always be willing to bear them for you." A soft chuckle sent heat strait to his groin.
"Even if I wanted one hundred? Or a thousand even my pet?"
"I will love them all, every one of them." he said slightly breathlessly. His master smiled against his neck.
"Then we will speak to Forrest tomorrow morning, I had wondered if you would want more after the twins, they were quite a handful." He smiled widely his heart fluttering at the idea of another child growing within him- the thought of catching his master with the look of awe he'd worn that night he'd visited his children's cribs believing his pet to be asleep. Yes, his master had come a long way from the man who'd believed that he would never love or be loved. True he was still cruel, he still killed on a daily basis and hurt people simply because he enjoyed it- but only Harry knew that his lord and master would never be able to deny the love he felt for his children.
"Thank you my master." He whispered brushing his lips against the first bit of skin he could find. "You are far more than I deserve." His master smiled and suddenly he found himself on his back on the bed.
Pain whispered across his thigh as strong fingers bit into his skin marking him as they had done many times before causing him to shiver in delight as a low warm chuckle vibrated in his lovers chest. "Your choice my pet." He whispered hotly in his ear. "Potion? or...perhaps the whip?" Harry gasped as idle fingers tugged harshly at the metal loop in his ear.
"Master..." He hissed. "I don't deserve this...not after I disobeyed you..." Voldemort paused and Harry could feel that his master was thinking.
"No...you need this my pet." He whispered knowingly. "Because despite everything you are mine and it is I who will decide when and how you are punished." Harry shivered as teeth bit deeply into his neck with finality.
"Yes!" Harry yelped. "Yours master." He added reverently smiling at the familiarity of the words as they fell past his lips. A hand slid down and cupped his erection squeezing tightly with a possessive grip causing him to arch his back and cry out.
"You will receive four days solitary confinement." His master whispered causing him to go stiff. Swallowing thickly he nodded his head. The thought of the dark silent room made him shiver. It was the worst punishment in his eyes, to be locked in a pitch black room placed in a kneeling position unable to move for days. A silencing spell would be cast on him so that he wouldn't be able to speak and a gag would be placed in his mouth keeping his jaw open and aching for days. His only comfort would be the cuffs on his wrists that reminded him of his master. He must have truly angered his master.
"Yes master" He whispered in obedience. A gentle hand traced his jaw line making him whimper.
"Never hesitate my pet; you must trust me in all things." His master whispered. Harry shook slightly at the gentle slide of hands across his skin.
"Please master! Please forgive me!" he said feeling hot tears begin to soak his blindfold. The hands stilled and the warm body pressed against his back disappeared leaving him shaken and blinded unable to know what his master would do next. Trust him...He had to trust him...Slowly he evened out his breath and felt comfort in the fact that his master was there and that he belonged entirely to the man. He tensed only slightly as a vial was placed before his lips and tilted so that he could swallow it. He shivered as he felt the heat slide down his spine and shiver across his senses increasing the feel of cloth against his stomach and the slight chill that hung in the air. Wetness splashed across his back in a icy cold wave shocking a scream out of him.
"Delicious." His master whispered from beside him. "This is the strongest dose my pet, you will not fall unconscious and the potion I just poured on your back will cause you to heal instantly." Harry shivered in appreciation. This meant that they could go on for hours without stop. He shrieked as without warning hot agony split across his dripping back. Oh god... The braided leather slid across his slick back causing him to groan in frustration. He wanted- no needed it, the rippling fury stretching across his well marked skin...
"Ah!" There it was! He panted as he felt his erection rub against the sheets. "Master!" He gasped as a finger slid into his hole roughly.
"If you want this then you'll have to scream a lot louder pet...I haven't done this for a while...I want your screams." The man hissed before yanking his finger out and lashing forward with a well played whistle. Harry arched off the bed as his skin split with the force of the hit causing stars to flash before his eyes as slick blood slid across his skin. He gasped and writhed as the potion forced the cut closed adding to the agony that pulsed through him leaving him breathless. Without mercy another harder, almost reckless blow fell across his shoulders and another and another slamming against him leaving him blind, helpless and screaming in exultation his body twisting violently yet his wrists stubbornly above his head where his master had ordered he keep them. Blood pounded in his ears as the blows stopped and a possessive hand slid down his back sliding the blood across his skin.
"Master." He croaked.
"Say it. Tell me who you belong to." The man said his voice thick with arousal. Harry shivered.
"You my master and only to you." a nail dug into one of the healing spots causing him to let out a shout.
"So beautiful when you bleed.." He whispered. "So willing and obedient..." Harry sucked in a breath as he felt his masters tongue begin to lap up the blood his sharp teeth catching sore spots with purpose. "Who do you obey pet?" He whispered sliding the slick leather across his flushed skin. He trembled violently as his nerves tingled knowing and remembering what that whip could do to him.
"I obey you." He responded arching as he felt the cold metal dome at the end of the handle press against the crease of his backside.
"Spread yourself pet." His master whispered softly a whisper of magic unlocking his cuffs. Harry shivered and reached his hands back pulling his cheeks aside to show the man his entrance. He cried out as the leather wet with his blood whistled through the air landing expertly across his hole sending pain blossoming through out him. He wriggled slightly a whimper escaping him.
"Please." He begged spreading himself wider. He loved when his master tortured him this way dragging the pain out of him with long leisurely strokes. He felt the cool metal against his feverish skin in a mock caress before suddenly the handle was thrust deep inside of him. "Master!" He shouted in surprise as pain from the forceful entrance radiated up his spine climbing through him like a spider. Suddenly it was ripped out of him and a harsh slap was delivered across one cheek. Harry gasped his nails digging into his skin as his erection chafed against the sheets.
"I couldn't help it pet you look delicious." The man whispered against his ear. Harry nodded his body trembling and aching.
"Please master, please!" He begged when the man moved away only to stand beside the bed and look at him hunger evident in his eyes. Harry shivered as the man's movements ceased the blindfold was damp against his skin restricting him from seeing the man though he could feel the man's eyes on him watching…considering.
"The whip?" He asked his gaze amused and hungry and oh so possessive.
"Please!" Harry nearly cried out frustrated at the inaction as pain and pleasure throbbed steadily within him. Suddenly he arched up as the whip began cracking through the air hitting him steadily and at a quick pace leaving him no time to recover as his back and arse were flayed violently. He shivered and cried out his mind a mess of agony and pleasure that gradually grew higher and stronger with each stripe across his skin.
"Cum." Came the order and suddenly Harry was flying through outer space in a haze of red and black and white as heat licked at him like an all consuming fire. His master watched eyes hungry as his broken beaten pet cried out blood streaming down his skin in steady rivulets while the pain from his skin mending it's self provided the edge that kept the boy in a tense bliss even after his orgasm had wrung him dry. The boy panted heavily as his legs gave out leaving him slumped on the bed his fingers still digging into the bruised and bloodied flesh on his arse. With a satisfied smirk He strode forward and took hold of his pets' narrow hips and forced his way into the twitching hole. Harry let out a shout at the unexpected and painful entry before groaning in pleasure at being filled. It wasn't often his Master would do this for him mainly because it left him limping the next day which wasn't very graceful, but when he did…He cried out as his master pulled out and pressed back in satisfying himself more and more with each thrust. Harry groaned and panted aroused at the thought of being used by the man who owned him. His eyes shot wide open as his prostate was hammered again and suddenly his erection came back to life as sharp nails slid slowly and steadily down his newly healed back snagging on some of the still opened wounds.
"Fill me master…I beg of you…"He whimpered as the man pounded deeply into him. His master chuckled lowly the sound slightly strained as his pleasure grew greater..
"Claim you do you mean my pet?" His master whispered reaching around to pull roughly at one of Harry's nipples. Harry cried out his fingers digging into his bottom twitching from being so tense for so long as his cheek rubbed against the cum splattered sheets.
"Yes master I am yours please…" He begged panting as the tempo increased. His masters hand slid down his chest brushing against his erection before with one final thrust sliding a sharp nail painfully down the underside of his erection as he came the sound of his pet's scream echoing his own cry of release. Harry strained his eyes watering as he came a second time the sensation of being filled with his master's essence and the sweet agony delivered to his erection causing an overload of emotion and feeling. He blinked rapidly his eyelashes fluttering against his cheeks as the potion worked to keep him conscious.
"I have been alive for more than a thousand years pet…I have tasted many fragrant and rare wines in that time, yet the flavor of your blood…it is the rarest and most delicate flavor of them all. I have listened to music played by countless orchestras over the years…musicians considered to be timeless…yet the sound of your screams, the ones you would give only to me…they are the finest notes to have ever shivered across my ears." His master whispered sliding his lips across the blood spattered back where the skin was still oversensitive and tingled deliciously. Harry shivered as strong elegant hands made artwork out of the sticky blood pausing briefly when they reached his still exposed hole only to smear a bit of the cum around. Harry sighed as the finger left his hole and pressed against his swollen lips. He took the appendage into his mouth without question. "Hands behind your back pet wrists crossed." The man ordered. Immediately Harry moved his stiff fingers wincing slightly as he realized that he had not only broken a fingernail strait down the center but that he had also left several wounds in his flesh from gripping so tightly. The finger slipped out of his mouth and trailed saliva down his cheek in a caress as the cuffs were returned to his wrists. Harry shivered as he felt a robe tossed carelessly over him the silk whispering across his skin feeling more like coarse wool rather than fine fabric.
"Master?" He said softly his voice rough. He could feel the man's gaze on him once more.
"Yes pet?" The man asked. Harry could nearly picture the way the man's eyebrow was arched.
"Thank you." He croaked softly. Knowing that any second his master would turn and stride out of the room leaving him to be bathed and taken to his confinement. He gasped as unexpectedly warm lips claimed his in a searing kiss.
"Trust me always pet." The man said his heated breath whispering across his lips.
"Yes master." He said reverently before listening his heart aching as the sound of his master's robe whispering across the floor faded and a final dreadful thump of the door shutting echoed in his ears.

Nigel Farage has criticised Uber drivers for playing loud music, not speaking English and having no knowledge of London.
The Ukip leader defended the growth of the app-based taxi firm and said it should not be banned but said their service is significantly inferior to that offered by London's black cabs, saying its better quality service was worth paying for.
He hit out at Boris Johnson for describing black cab drivers as "Luddites" - a term used for people who fear technological change.
Speaking his LBC radio phone-in show, Mr Farage said: "My experience of Uber - and I'm sure there are some wonderful drivers working for Uber - but some of my experiences of Uber is I've got into cars with quite loud music playing, with people that don't speak English and who use the sat-nav because they haven't got a clue where they're going in London and they're not innovative.
"So I actually think what Boris should have said, is that whilst new technology is welcome, provided it is registered and within the law, we should champion London black cabs, because if people want quality, they've got to pay a little more for it."
Uber customers can hail a taxi within seconds by logging into their app and ordering a car to pick them up.
The company operates in more than 60 countries but its rise has sparked controversy, with traditional taxi firms complaining of unfair competition.
London cab drivers say they cannot work at the low prices Uber drivers charge - they say the app-based hiring system could turn anyone into a taxi driver and undermines the lengthy and challenging training required for London cabbies.
In a staunch defence of London cab drivers, Mr Farage said: "I thought for Boris [Johnson] to want to go to war with the London cab drivers frankly was a very silly thing to have done. It would be ludicrous, ludicrous to ban Uber - you can't stop the march of change...if Uber cabs are legitimate then that's fine.
"My experience is this: I believe that the London taxis - far from being Luddites - are the best taxi drivers in the world. That knowledge test they do is an incredibly difficult thing to do, it's like an apprenticeship. They do it, they do it very, very well... they fund it themselves.
"Of the thousands of cabs I've taken over the years, 99.9 per cent of cab drivers have been polite, amusing, informative and also, innovative - if they see a traffic problem, they think of a way round it."

Over the short term, the new 12Z models overall remain consistent and in very good agreement in regards to the expected synoptic pattern. The models share similar forecast timing for a stationary front now across the Nrn NT2 waters to return Nwd across the waters as a warm front later tonight into Mon night with a gradually strengthening Sly gradient developing throughout the waters. Then late Mon night into Tue as a cold front is forecast to push offshore the 12Z GFS remains very consistent versus its previous respective runs in forecasting the Sly gradient to strengthen to gale force across the NT2 waters S of the gulf stream. With the 12Z GFS forecasting an associated 45-60 kt Sly low level 925 mb jet to develop over the NT2 waters in association with this cold fropa and the usually conservative 12Z UKMET/ECMWF now also forecasting gale force Sly prefrontal boundary layer (BL) winds, forecast confidence is now high that these gales will develop. Therefore as has been done for the past several forecast packages, plan on populating our forecast wind grids with the respresentative 12Z GFS solution for tonight through Tue night using our smart tool that will place stronger 12Z GFS first sigma level winds in unstable areas and weaker 12Z GFS 10m winds in stable areas (which will be over the majority of the waters). So per these winds do not anticipate making any significant timing and/or areal coverage changes to the previously forecasted gale warnings on Mon night/Tue. In the long range, by late Tue/Tue night the 12Z models agree that the cold front will wash out and be followed by a secondary cold front sweeping offshore Tue night/Wed, then stalling across the S central NT2 waters Wed night with moderately strong (generally up to 20-25 kt) associated gradients. So will continue to populate with the representative 12Z GFS first sigma and 10m winds on Wed/Wed night with some minor additional edits in deference to the 12Z ECMWF. Then further out in the long range, though they differ in regards to their forecast tracks of the associated attendant surface low tracking slowly NE from the SE conus Thu/Thu night towards New York state by late Fri/Fri night, the 12Z global models in general agree that the stalled front will slowly lift back Nwd across the waters as a warm front Thu into Fri night, followed by a cold front pushing offshore late Fri/Fri night. The primary result of this pattern will be a strengthening Sly gradient developing late Thu across the Srn NT2 waters and then spreading Nwd Thu night into Fri night, with gale force winds likely developing again across the NT2 waters primarily from the gulf stream Swd. Overall will favor the 12Z GFS solution for these fropas since its supported by the 12Z GEM/UKMET/GEFS Mean and is only slightly less progressive than the 12Z ECMWF. Therefore will continue to populate 12Z GFS first sigma and 10m winds on Thu through Fri night. Seas...The 12Z Wavewatch III and 12Z ECMWF WAM models have both initialized the current seas throughout equally well. With this in mind and since their associated 12Z GFS and 12Z ECMWF solutions are similar and their forecast differences generally remain in the 1-2 ft range, will populate our forecast wave grids with a 50/50 blend of the 12Z Wavewatch III and 12Z ECMWF WAM for tonight through Wed night. Then Thu and beyond since the 12Z GFS solution will become preferred, will transition to populating with all 12Z Wavewatch III seas then. .Extratropical Storm Surge Guidance...N/A. .WARNINGS...Preliminary. .NT1 New England Waters...

Top Colleges' Change on Aid Could Help the Middle Class
By GREG WINTER
New York Times
July 27, 2003
Eager to bring some uniformity to the otherwise unruly field of financial aid, more than two dozen of the nation's most selective universities have started looking at home equity in a new light, a change that could significantly benefit middle-income families.
No longer will the colleges count the market value of a home as if it were a more liquid asset, like stocks, that could readily be converted into tuition. Starting with this year's incoming class, financial aid calculations at the colleges have been inextricably tied to a family's income, not the whims of the housing market.
Take the Bhambis, for instance. Some 20 years ago, when they first saw the old boarding house that would become their home, scruffy-looking men spent their days sleeping off hangovers in its rooms and breathing in oily fumes from the basement heater.
The Bhambis' $90,000 investment could hardly have been a better one, since houses in their neighborhood outside Boston sell for six times as much today. But to Meena Bhambi, such good fortune masks a simpler truth. She is a widow now, fretting over how she will put her daughter through college on a day care worker's pay.
"There is no way I can sell my house," she said. "Where would I live?"
In the past, the tenets of financial aid have at best made erratic accommodations for those like the Bhambis, families that are house rich and cash poor. However small their incomes, their homes could essentially be held against them.
"The whole point of what we're trying to accomplish and recognize is that home value is often inflationary and out of proportion to a family's ability to pay," said James A. Belvin Jr., the director of financial aid at Duke University, who is also the chairman of a committee of the participating universities. "What we wanted to do was soften the impact."
The approach — adopted by institutions like Stanford and Yale, the Universities of Chicago and Pennsylvania, Columbia and Cornell, Williams and Wesleyan — will still count homes as an asset, and expect families to contribute as much as 5 percent of their equity toward an education. But it will cap that equity at 2.4 times a household's income, whereas before the entire market value of a home could be considered.
At the economic extremes, the new approach will probably have little effect, financial aid officers said. Some wealthy families may earn too much to reap benefits, just as those who never had enough money to buy a house will notice nothing. But for those caught between, the middle-income families whose fortunes are tied up in their homes, the change is likely to be significant.
Mrs. Bhambi's daughter, Priya, a transfer student headed for Emory University this fall, received an extra $6,000 in scholarship money because of the new guidelines. In fact, nearly one in six of Emory's incoming freshmen qualified for more aid under the guidelines, the university said, and their average grants grew by about as much as Ms. Bhambi's.
The colleges settled more than a dozen other scholarship questions, too. Mr. Belvin said that the beneficiaries at Duke could see their awards go up by $500 to $1,000.
The colleges involved are known as the 568 President's Working Group, named for the federal provision that allows them to set common principles for financial aid, without fear of running afoul of antitrust law. How many other colleges will ultimately adopt the new approach is unclear.
"It would have been very, very difficult to go to school" without the changes in home equity, Ms. Bhambi said. "I don't know if it would have been a possibility at all."

The Washington Wizards are coming off of their best season in 9 years as they finished the season with a of 44-38 along with making it to the conference semifinals losing to the Indiana Pacers. With making the playoffs for the first time in over seven seasons the future is bright for the young Wizards lead by star guards John Wall and Bradley Beal. While it was nice seeing the Wizards make the playoffs and win in the first round the talent level of this team leaves Wizards fans wanting more. The Wizards are coming to a crossroad in their franchise as they can go in two directions, they can go in the direction of the Golden State Warriors who have a young special backcourt that can be the most exciting in basketball but still don't have that look of a NBA championship team or they can go in the direction of the Western Conference Champions San Antonio Spurs who are in their second NBA championship in consecutive year. The obvious choice would be the Spurs however it isn't as simple as just wanting to be like arguably the greatest franchise of this decade it will take dedication and smart subtle moves to be like the San Antonio Spurs.
The San Antonio Spurs are the model of consistency in the NBA, they just finished their 2013-2014 season with an outstanding record of 62-20 which was their 15th consecutive season of 50 plus wins. The last time they did not win 50 games in a season was the 1998-1999 when they only won 37 games due to the strike shorten season. In that strike shorten season they still had an unbelievable winning percentage of .740 which if they would have played the full 82 game regular season schedule the Spurs would have won 62 games. The Spurs since they moved to the NBA from the ABA in the 1977 season have only missed the playoffs four times, I'll say that again FOUR TIMES. While the Spurs have clearly been one of the greatest regular season NBA teams since they came into the league they had no NBA championship rings that is until Gregg Popovich was hired in 1996.
The San Antonio Spurs has the current longest tenure coach in the NBA with Gregg Popovich. Popovich was hired by the team halfway through the 1996-1997 season and right away the struggles started for the coach as they finished the season 17-47 under his control however Popovich would never have another losing season again and in just two short years he would take the worst team in the NBA to the 1999 NBA Champions. Popovich would go on to win three more championships with the Spurs along with a win percentage of .686 and would win three NBA coach of the year awards. The consistency that Popovich has brought to the Spurs has not been matched by any other head coach in NBA history. Even as unlikely of a franchise to have one coach for 17 years it is almost as unlikely as having the same star they drafted with the first overall pick in 1997 still leading the team into the 2014 NBA finals.
The last season the Spurs missed the playoffs was 1996-1997 when the team finished 20-62 and usually when a team misses the playoffs it is considered a failure and a thing that should be avoided however the greatest thing to ever happen to the Spurs came from that awful season, Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan since stepping on the floor in 1997 has won basketball games and has done it so well that he is a four time NBA champion, two time league MVP, 14 time All-star, and three time NBA Finals MVP. The combination of star and coach is unmatched by any other franchise in the NBA's luxurious history however it isn't two people that make a great franchise like the Spurs are its every player in the organization and the San Antonio Spurs have consistently made moves that seem to always to work in the end.
The Spurs have the most ethnical diverse roster in all of basketball as they currently have five players who were born overseas including their star point guard, Tony Parker, and the most consistent bench player, Manu Ginobili, for the last eight season. The Spurs have turned a 28th overall pick, Parker, and a 57th overall pick, Ginobili, into one of the most effective and consistent backcourts of the last decade. With the combination of Parker, Ginobili, and Duncan the Spurs have not needed to make trades or big time free agency signings like other teams to get to where they are now which makes what they do even more special in that they prove that if you have a consistent coach combined with homegrown talent a team can be in the championship hunt every single season like the San Antonio Spurs.
The Wizards have a rare opportunity to follow in the blueprint of the Spurs to hopefully take them to NBA championship contention every year however it starts with resigning Coach Randy Wittman for the foreseeable future. In signing Wittman it will allow him to grow as an NBA coach like Gregg Popovich grew into one of the greatest coaches in the NBA's history. Along with keeping Wittman will help him grow as a coach, it will also allow the young Wizards, John Wall and Bradley Beal, to grow into the most consistent backcourt in the NBA like Parker and Ginobili. However it will not be the big sexy free agency signings or trades (Kevin Love) that will take the Wizards in the direction of the Spurs it will be the smart draft picks and the efficient free agent signings, like the signing of Drew Godden, along with the patience of fans and front office personnel that will leave that Wizards in championship contention for hopefully as for the next 17 years like the greatest franchise in the NBA for the last 20 years, the consistent San Antonio Spurs.

" 2 A certain man of Zorah, named Manoah, from the clan of the Danites, had a wife who was childless, unable to give birth. 3 The angel of the LORD appeared to her and said, 'You are barren and childless, …. Judges 13:2-5a….
…. but you are going to become pregnant and give birth to a son. 4 Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean. …. Judges 13:2-5a….
…. 5 You will become pregnant and have a son whose head is never to be touched by a razor because the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from the womb…." [TNIV] Judges 13:2-5a….
"So Manoah asked him, 'When your words are fulfilled, what is to be the rule that governs the boy's life and work?' " [TNIV] Judges 13:1….
Manoah was motivated not by curiosity, but by his commitment to raise the child to be best prepared for his destiny.

" 1 Samson went down to Timnah and saw there a young Philistine woman. 2 When he returned, he said to his father and mother, 'I have seen a Philistine woman in Timnah; now get her for me as my wife.' Judges 14:1-3….
…. 3 His father and mother replied, 'Isn't there an acceptable woman among your relatives or among all our people? Must you go to the uncircumcised Philistines to get a wife?' …. Judges 14:1-3….
…. But Samson said to his father, 'Get her for me. She's the right one (looks good) for me." [TNIV] Judges 14:1-3….
Samson's eyes spur his lust to break the dual reins of his parents' wishes and the Mosaic Law. (verse 3; Deuteronomy 7:1-3)
Principle #2 A SENSUOUS PERSON FOCUSES ON THE EXTERNAL RATHER THAN ON THE INTERNAL! Principle #2 A SENSUOUS PERSON FOCUSES ON THE EXTERNAL RATHER THAN ON THE INTERNAL!
The first recorded words of Samson are…. "I SAW a young Philistine woman." "I SAW a young Philistine woman."
He did not mention any of her INTERNAL QUALITIES.
Our EXTERNAL APPEARANCE should frame our INTERNAL QUALITIES in a way that HIGHLIGHTS them but does not overshadow them.
" 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. …. 1 Peter 3:3-4….
…. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." [TNIV] 1 Peter 3:3-4….
When you look at someone, is your FOCUS on the frame or on the quality? Do you dwell on the appearance, or do you look past it to the heart?
"But the LORD said to Samuel, 'Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things human beings look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.' " [TNIV] 1 Samuel 16:7….
In spite of Samson's runaway lust, God is still in control of the situation.
"(His parents did not know that this was from the LORD, who was seeking an occasion to confront the Philistines; for at that time they were ruling over Israel.)" [TNIV] Judges 14:4….
… overcame an attacking lion (v.6) … posed a riddle – 7 days to unravel the riddle
… Samson's bride enticing him for the answer
Judges 14:18b-19…. " 18b... Samson said to them, 'If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have solved my riddle.' 19 Then the Spirit of the LORD came on him in power. ….
Judges 14:18b-19…. …. He went down to Ashkelon, struck down thirty of their men, stripped them of everything and gave their clothes to those who had explained the riddle. Burning with anger, he returned to his father's home." [TNIV]
Samson stormed away to his father's house. His wife was then given to one of his companions (verse 20). Before Samson knew it, he was at the door to his wife's room with flowers in hand.
"Later on, at the time of wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. He said, 'I'm going to my wife's room.' …" [TNIV] Judges 15:1a….
Samson's father-in-law stood at his daughter's door to sandbag the flood of Samson's passion.
From romance to revenge, Samson's rage …. Judges 15:3-5…. " 3 Samson said to them, 'This time I have a right to get even with the Philistines; I will really harm them.' 4 So he went out and caught three hundred foxes …
…. and tied them tail to tail in pairs. He then fastened a torch to every pair of tails, 5 lit the torches and let the foxes loose in the standing grain of the Philistines. He burned up the shocks and standing grain, together with the vineyards and olive groves." [TNIV]
Principle #3 THE SENSUOUS LIFE BRINGS ONE ANXIETY AFTER ANOTHER! Principle #3 THE SENSUOUS LIFE BRINGS ONE ANXIETY AFTER ANOTHER!
"An angry person stirs up dissension, and a hot- tempered person commits many sins." [TNIV] Proverbs 29:22….
"Samson led Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines." [TNIV] Judges 15:20….
Apparently, the Bible said that SAMSON ruled righteously and by faith.
" 32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered …. Hebrews 11:32-34….
…. justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies." [TNIV]
"One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute. He went in to spend the night with her." [TNIV] Judges 16:1…. Samson went to Gaza ….
Little did Samson realized that this "walk in the wild side" would lead him into a snare that would eventually cost him his life.
Principle #4 SENSUALITY MAY BE DORMANT, BUT IT IS NEVER DEAD! Principle #4 SENSUALITY MAY BE DORMANT, BUT IT IS NEVER DEAD!
when fanned in the open air, can fuel a forest fire. And, invariably, someone always gets burned.
" 26 For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread, but another man's wife preys on your very life. 27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned? 28 Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched?" [TNIV] Proverbs 6:26-28….
" 14 But each of you is tempted when you are dragged away by your own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." [TNIV] James 1:14-15….
Each snare in this tragic hero's life is tripped by his SENSUALITY.
Samson ultimately forfeits his life for failing to avoid the lure of lust.
Paul says that we are suppose to give our lives to Christ in consecration as a living sacrifice to Him.
" 1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is true worship. …. Romans 12:1–2 ….
…. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will." " [TNIV] Romans 12:1–2 ….
Just as Samson's hair was his inward commitment to God, let our heart in Christ be our "COMMITMENT" to Christ.
Even if you have some failed past, you can pray with Samson – "Remember me" – and be assured that God's strength can help you overcome your defeated past. Judges 16:28–30

If x+y=1 and both x and y are positive real numbers, prove that (x+(1/x))^2+(y+(1/y))^2 will always be AT LEAST 12.5.HINT: when x and y both equal 0.5, (x+1/x)^2+(y+1/y)^2=12.5MORE HINTS: you...
If x+y=1 and both x and y are positive real numbers, prove that (x+(1/x))^2+(y+(1/y))^2 will always be AT LEAST 12.5.
HINT: when x and y both equal 0.5, (x+1/x)^2+(y+1/y)^2=12.5
MORE HINTS: you must prove that when a+b=a fixed value, a^2+b^2 is smallest when a=b
1 Answer | Add Yours
Since x+y=1 then y=1-x so your equation is
`(x+1/x)^2+((1-x)+(1/(1-x)))^2 `
`= x^2 + 2(x)(1/x) + 1/x^2 + (1-x)^2 + 2(1-x)/(1-x) + 1/(1-x)^2`
`=x^2+2+1/x^2 + 1 - 2x + x^2 + 2 + 1/(1-x)^2`
No for x and y to be positive and x+y=1 then 0<x<1 and 0<y<1
Take the derivative.
`f'(x)=4x-2-2/x^3+2/(1-x)^3` We are looking for the minimum.
f'(x)=0 when `4x-2-2/x^3-2/(1-x)^3=0`
x=1/2 is the only real root of this equation
`f''(1/2)=4+6(2)^4-6(2)^4=4 gt0` so this is a minimum.
f(0) is undefined, and f(1) is undefined. `lim_(x->0)f(x)=lim_(x->1)f(x)=+oo` .
So `f(x)>=12.5`

The Secret Language of Your Body went into its 3rd printing in less than a month.
Yesterday I had an amazing time being interviewed on TV, sharing with several people how to heal their lives and presenting at Changing Hands Bookstore, which was full of people. If you live in Arizona, you have to visit that bookshop, it is incredible!
Kidney Problems
Hi Inna,
I have been suffering with Kidney problems for the last five years. I really believe that I can get better. Can you give me more information on the possible causes of kidney problems and any ideas on what I can do to begin my healing journey.
Thank you so much, Kirk
Hi Kirk,
because kidney problems are common I decided to answer your question in my blog.
Below is some information about the role of the kidneys and some of the possible causes of kidney dysfunction. I would also suggest that you check out my book, The Secret Language of Your Body and work with the process for healing the kidneys as well as with the emotions you relate to.
Kidneys control many vital body functions. Their major role is to remove waste from the blood, eliminating it through the urine. Kidneys also make important hormones which stimulate the production of red blood cells and control blood pressure, as well as strengthen bones.
The symptoms of kidney problems are feeling of tiredness, discoloration or blood in the urine, nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, swollen or numb hands and feet, muscle cramps and lethargy.
A major role of kidneys is to cleanse, thus if the kidneys break down, a person needs to look at what in their life they are holding on to, keeping stuck and fear letting go of.
Often people will say, I have worked on myself and let go of everything that I can think of. However often, this letting go is on the mental level and is very general.
If your kidneys don't heal, it's because there is something deeper and often it is connected to your childhood or younger years. Sometimes it is not necessarily your personal issues that you need to work on, but the sadness, pain and fear that you have picked up from your environment.
Kidneys store a lot of unresolved sadness; sometimes this sadness is buried so deep, that it is difficult to access. Especially if in younger years, you were taught to be strong and not to express your feelings, or desires.
Sometimes the deep grief in the kidneys can be related to unfulfilled dreams and desires or broken dreams. This could relate to someone leaving you, or a person you love dying, or a betrayal in a family situation. Kidneys can also relate to a deep feeling of emptiness and lack of love. This can create difficulties in communicating with others and make you feel like a victim, where someone else is always in the wrong.
Healing, means being willing to go deeper into yourself than ever before and explore what is stored there. It's a strong desire to find out and transform, rather than to be saved by someone else. Be aware of putting people up on a pedestal and then throwing them off, and start to focus on yourself. You are the one who has the power to heal.
When you recognize that the power is really within you, you will start using it to heal.
I hope this helps!
Love Inna
