Ken Bosic's 2008 season came to a tearful end. Clear Spring coach Craig Bathgate is hoping for a better outcome for the 5-foot-11, 215-pound fullback/linebacker in 2009.
In only six and a half games, Bosic was the Blazers' leading rusher (more than 800 yards) and tackler (nearly 75 tackles). Then, at halftime of the seventh game, a sprained MCL in his left knee brought a halt to Bosic's season.
"He sprained it early in the year and it kept getting worse and worse," said Bathgate, who even limited Bosic's practice time hoping to keep the Clear Spring's workhorse in action the entire season. "We're 1-5 and he's thinking about giving up walking again to track back out on the field. That shows you want kind of kid he is. But he couldn't do it any more. He didn't want to hear that, but he was done."
With the injury behind him, Bosic, who grew up in the Linganore area and was exposed to youth football -- something unfamiliar to most Clear Spring players -- is focused on the 2009 campaign.
"He's in the weight room more than anyone, and just as often as I am," Bathgate said. "He's a natural leader and he leads by example with incredible work ethic."
Bosic plays middle linebacker at Clear Spring. He was an honorable mention all-league pick last season despite missing more than three games. He projects as a small college linebacker.
During Clear Spring's brief football history, it has sent only one player into the college football ranks -- Jesse Jarvis at Division III McDaniel College. Bathgate figures Bosic can be a Division III middle linebacker.
"He'll run through walls for you and not think twice," Bathgate said. "Now he's back to doing squats and dead lifts, and he's ready to go."

If you want your players to create goal scoring chances like the midfield players at Barcelona, try this exciting and fast-moving game and you'll soon see the benefits.
Filed under: Attack, Dave Clarke, defence, Goalkeeping, Soccer Coaching, Soccer Fitness, Soccer News, Soccer Refereeing, Soccer Skills, Soccer Team Management, Soccer Training | Tags: attack, Barcelona, coaching, goals, midfield, skills, tactics
Why use it
A session aimed at getting players to create and utilise space in midfield. With quick passing and movement, it should help open up the opposition and make goal scoring chances.
Set up
Create a playing area 40x20yards, with two goals back to back across the middle, but just one goalkeeper. We're using eight players and a keeper for this session, plus a server who can be the coach. You need bibs, cones, balls and two small goals.
How to play
Start by serving a ball into the game. Players can score in either of the two back-to-back goals. If the keeper gains possession or the ball leaves the area, serve a new ball in. The keeper puts any balls he gathers into the net behind him. When a goal is scored, immediately serve another ball into the game.
Creating space in a match situation with fast and accurate passing will open up the room for midfielders to exploit. In this game a quick switch of play allows players to take advantage of one of the goals being unguarded – they must be aware of the position of the keeper at all times.

Line-breaking passes are those that go through a line of the opposing team's formation.
For example, a pass that goes between two opposing defenders is known as a line-breaking pass because it breaks through the defensive line.
A line-breaking run is similar to a line-breaking pass, although in this case it is the player, not the ball, that breaks the line.
Line-breaking runs usually occur in the final third of the pitch when a forward or midfielder runs through the defensive line and into a goal-scoring position. Cristiano Ronaldo is an expert at making line-breaking runs.

A defensive diamond is created when a team's midfielder drops back from midfield towards his own goal (also known as dropping deep) to form a diamond shape with his goalkeeper and two centre backs. This enables the team to play out of defence against a team playing with two forwards.For this to happen, the team's full backs must go high and wide, and the midfielders and forwards must go into advanced positions to really exaggerate the space for the players to play out of defence.

BACK FOOT the ball is played to the foot furthest from the defender
FRONT FOOT the ball is played to the foot nearest the passer
Ball Control and Footwork
Front foot refers to the foot nearest the ball.
When receiving the ball under pressure from an opponent and unable to turn, a player must receive the ball on his front foot and protect the ball by placing his body between the ball and the opponent. Now the player can choose to pass to a team mate or turn away from the opponent using a quick skill or trick=.

By David Clarke
Barcelona's captain Carles Puyol is known for his intense commitment and strength as a defender. According to Barcelona's head doctor, Puyol is "the strongest, who has the quickest reactions, and who has the most explosive strength".
Love him or loathe him, he is the sort of player who gives everything for the cause, who prides himself on being alert to wave after wave of attacking threats in and around the box. He is also the sort of player who is not afraid to put his body in harm's way. And he'll grab you the odd goal or two.
Ensuring that your players are back on their feet after a good tackle or clearance and ready to combat a second wave of danger is essential.
To keep them alive and reactive, here's a defensive move that asks for quick reactions and tireless commitment to the cause.
How to set it up:
Create a playing area measuring 10×10 yards.
The drill requires four servers and one designated defender.
Each server starts on a different side, with a ball.
Place your defender in the middle – his job is to react to a different serve from each player around the area. After each serve, his task is to keep the ball within the box.
Getting started:
Starting on the left-hand side, server 3 throws the ball up for server 1 to head into the middle. The defender tries to stop the ball from going out of bounds.
Immediately, server 2 passes a ball towards the opposite line. The defender must now react, running to slide and stop the ball from crossing the line.
Now server 3 dribbles onto the pitch and attempts to get to the line opposite. The defender tries to stop him.
Finally, server 4 throws the ball over the defender's head and attempts to run around him to win it back. The defender's task is to shield the ball, letting it run over the line. If the ball stops dead before the line, he can then kick it clear to the left or the right.
Now rotate so that a different player acts as the defender.
Why this works:
Adopting the mindset that a defender's job is rarely complete is absolutely vital if players are to counter all of the threats on a match day. After each phase of this drill, the defender needs to be alert to a new test, reacting quickly to each ball and clearing the danger.
Each test offers a new skill, and provides you with a quick-fire snapshot of where the defender's game can be improved.
Filed under: Dave Clarke, Soccer Coaching, Soccer Fitness, Soccer News, Soccer Refereeing, Soccer Skills, Soccer Team Management, Soccer Training | Tags: angle, attack, cover, defend, distance, support, tactics
In this 3v3 game, you can get players to learn about providing support and being in the right position to cover when the ball is lost.
Support play
In a 3v3 situation, one of the most important jobs is to support the player on the ball. There should be forward support to provide an attacking outlet and rear support to give a defensive outlet.
A pass back to the player covering the defensive area of the team can be an attacking move because it can open up space on the other side of the pitch.
Support players need to think about:
- The angle of support
- The distance of support
Getting this right means the supporting player:
- Has a full range of forward vision.
- Can receive the ball comfortably.
- Has space to pass the ball to a team mate.
- Can move forward into space in front of them.
How to set it up
In this game, rear support comes from the goalkeeper who must move out of his goal when the team is attacking. When the team is in possession of the ball none of the three players are allowed in their defensive end zone.
Goalkeepers have to support from the rear and be ready to get back if the team lose the ball. So the attacking team always has an empty end zone so the defending team can quickly attack if it wins the ball.
The attacking team therefore has a 3v2 advantage in the middle of the pitch. The defending team can have players in any zone, but when it wins the ball and attacks, all players including the goalkeeper must move out of the defensive end zone.

I firmly believe that if you want to develop the skills of individual players you need to start young and you need to do so at grassroots level. So this summer I decided to attend a number of courses based on skills coaching and individual excellence that would add to my knowledge of youth coaching. And this was the pick of the bunch.
Coerver Coaching's Alf Galustian was the star skills educator at his Play Like Spain course at the London Soccer Dome – and it was like being in Spain on one of the hottest weekends of the year.
Coerver's course is based on the Spain national side and the success they have had playing with Spanish style and the phases of play that make up that style. Alf coached sessions where the emphasis was on individual ball mastery and how the development of the individual creates a winning team.
Alf said: "I have worked in Spain as a coach educator several times throughout my career. It is common knowledge that Spain are the current leading developers of football talent and they have implemented a style of play that is the envy of world football".
I found it very interesting because last year I spent a lot of time working on the phases of play used by Barcelona and why they have had so much success in the last few years with their style of possession play – I broke Barcelona style down to Possession/Patience/Penetration and did a presentation for the NSCAA on the Barcelona phases of play.
Alf broke down the Spain style into four phases of play
Protecting the ball individually by coaching shielding techniques and as a group moving the ball quickly to keep it away from opponents.
Individually and as a team. This is the Spanish way, lose the ball win it back by pressing high up the pitch giving teams no time to settle on the ball.
Running with the ball into space or finding the killer pass, with drills to develop individual and team skills
The creative end product from the combination of the other three parts of the course – including creativity in the final third (the one thing English players find hard to do).
Coerver have been over in Spain recently and Scott Wright the UK director of Coerver told me: "We have had coaches from all levels attend our courses in Spain including La Liga clubs Real Madrid, Getafe, Real Mallorca and Rayo Vallacano as well as other coaches and ex-players from across Spain and Europe."
So I felt I was in good company on the course and that there was a real Spanish aspect to the sessions. Added to that Coerver had brought former Athletico Madrid youngster Manuel Ojalvo, and former professional Diego Camacho, who has amassed more than 400 appearances in La Liga.
Manuel has a background in youth coaching and gave some great insights into what it was like to be a youth player in Spain. Diego doesn't have the command of the English language that Manuel has but he managed to get across the frustrations of being coached in one position for all his time in youth football – defensive midfield. He has played against the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Lionel Messi, asked how he stopped Messi he shrugged and gave a chopping motion… it was fascinating stuff.
Both players are convinced the Coerver system can help grassroots in Spain – and of course in England.
Diego said (with Manuel acting as interpreter): "Every ex-professional player, no matter the level, who is thinking about moving into coaching should definitely study the Coerver System; I wish it had been available to me when I was a young, it would have made me a better player".
Alf also introduced former ManchesterCity and Scotland defender Willie Donachie who is now development coach at Newcastle United. Again the advice was very interesting because Coerver are very much an attack minded in their tactics. Willie talks defence and used the example of Ian Rush the former Liverpool and Wales striker as an example of a forward whose first thought on losing the ball was to win it back. Alf too had praise for an attacker who likes to win the ball back – Lionel Messi "he is the best defender in the world", said Alf.
Some great course material to take away in the form of a book that included the sessions Alf had put on during the weekend added to the overall success of the course.
It was a great way to spend a weekend in the summer and a very valuable one for my own personal development adding to my knowledge of Spanish football, giving me lots to take back to the teams that I coach. I suggest if you get the chance you should go on the course – it is a great learning experience.

This is the obituary of Helen Thomas, former White House "reporter", and I use that term very loosely. She is finally out of her job at the White House. Her big mouth has been sitting there, front and center, for years, using language that no one else would use.
And finally in the past few days we see the true Helen Thomas. The anti-Semite. The Jew hater. She probably loved Hitler when WWII was happening. She supposedly apologized, but I think it was just a token apology. She apologized because she "had" to and did not mean a word of it, in my opinion.
I honestly don't know how she managed to stay in the White House as a "reporter" for so long as it was. She was nothing but a nuisance and never had anything of substance to say or ask, in my opinion.
I am glad to see her go, especially since she showed her true colors. I don't understand why all of a sudden everyone, including the Obama administration, is bashing Jews and Israel. I thought the Benjamin Netanyahu's speech the other day was right on target and kicked butt. We need to stand with Israel and support them. Remember, when the Lord comes back, that's where it all will go down.
So, Helen Thomas: Goodbye, Adieu, Arrivederci, Farewell, Donadagohi, Sayonara, Auf Wiedersehen, Adios, Paalam, Dag, Yasaou, Ha det bra, Slan leat, and Shalom. We won't miss you!

The 2002 Turner Prize winner Keith Tyson offers elaborate explanations of his work, but are they really any help?
Haunch of Venison, W1
KEITH TYSON has not exhibited in London since he won the Turner Prize in 2002. Two years would not be much in the careers of most artists of his generation, but for one as exuberantly productive as Tyson it is an age. So it is hardly surprising that his silence is broken with not only a show of mostly huge paintings, enough to fill to overflowing the whole space of the Haunch of Venison's large galleries on three floors, but also permit of another sizable show of new work at the Galerie Judin in Zurich. All the paintings have apparently been done in the past nine months.
Tyson is not the sort of painter who commits himself…

Samsung is a pioneer when it comes to mobile phones. They have released a bevy of mobile phones ranging from the premium, flagship models to the mid-range market. Basically, they have mobile phones for every price bracket there is.
Today, we are going to take a look at a mid-range mobile phone from Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy A5 is a mid-range priced phone but it does have a premium look and feel to it.
It has an all-metallic design, which Samsung incorporated in the first Samsung Alpha phone released last year. It is nice to know that Samsung opted for a more durable metallic design as opposed to the flimsy plastic that they once used in their mobile phone line up.
The Screen of the Samsung Galaxy A5 is a 5-inch, Super AMOLED display that has a screen resolution of 720x 1280. This is their proprietary LED technology which works great on dimly lit environments, but not as great when you are outside.
Anyway, the colors and contrast of the screen pretty much make up for that flaw. The vibrancy of the colors is there and when you are fond of taking photos, especially selfies, you would love the picture clarity that the Samsung Galaxy A5's screen has.
Speaking of the Camera, the Samsung Galaxy A5 has a 13-megapixel Sony Exmor RS IMX135 sensor. This is the same camera sensor that is found on the LG G3. The phone's camera app is snappy and it barely takes 2 seconds for it to fully initialize.
The photos that are taken by the camera are quite good for its class. It offers visual clarity and crispness that are evident in most other mid-range phones. The camera is perfect if you want to take selfies.
Speaking of selfies, the Samsung Galaxy A5 has a proprietary technology just for that. Have you ever come across a situation where all of your friends will not fit in the frame when you're trying to take a groufie? The Samsung Galaxy A5 has the wide selfie function, where it creates a panorama-like selfie by bridging three different photos (taken from the left, right, and center). This ensures that all of your friends will be included in the final photo.
For the performance aspect, the Samsung Galaxy A5 is powered by Qualcomm's Quad-Core Snapdragon 410. This processor is a bit dated, but this is pretty much a standard when it comes to the mid-range mobile phone lineup.
The speaker system of the Samsung Galaxy A5 is also quite good. Samsung claims that it has an Adaptive sound. This means that it adapts to the ambient sound of your surroundings. So, if you're in a bustling part of the city, for example, the speakers will automatically increase its volume so you can hear the music or song that is playing. This is ideal for music lovers and movie geeks because they don't have to reach for that volume control panel anymore.
The only quirk I found about the Samsung Galaxy A5 is that it battery cover is not removable. I guess that is to be expected in most metallic designs. But, do not worry, you can increase the storage capacity of your Samsung Galaxy A5 by putting a micro SD. It can support up to 64GB of micro SD capacity.
All in all, the Samsung Galaxy A5 is a very good mobile phone for its price range. The Samsung Galaxy A5 costs only $360.

"stressful and not one i want to repeat ever"
About: Lister Hospital Lister Hospital Stevenage SG1 4AB
Posted via NHS Choices
What I liked
Consultant was pleasant and courteous
What could be improved
I waited over an hour with my three year old son, the waiting room was heaving - around 100 people in the fracture clinic, so it was hugely stressful.
there weren't enough chairs for people with broken legs to sit down.
The reception staff don't answer the phone so you can't get through to them if you need to contact them about the appointment or even ask where the clinic is. in the clinic they were unhelpful. i asked them why they didn't answer the phone and they said it was because there was a queue of people so they don't answer in that situation.
on arrival there were no parking spaces, lift was broken and I ended up walking down five flights of stairs in the the multi story with my injured son.
as soon as I got home i had a phone call asking why i hadn't shown up for the appointment. I'd just left there an hour earlier!
the experience was really stressful
Response from Lister Hospital 5 years ago
We're sorry that this was your experience - please accept our apologies. By their very nature, fracture clinics will always be very busy places but the problem at the Lister is that the existing clinic is now too small. This is why, as part of the £19.3 million redevelopment of the hospital's emergency department now underway, the Lister will be getting a much bigger and better fracture clinic - incidentally this is also the reason why you can no longer park in front of A&E because of the building project.
Whilst this promises a much better environment for the future, your feedback still suggests that more immediate changes should be considered that will help make the existing service better in the interim - we'll share your comments with the team involved to see what can be done in the short term.
Finally, we're sorry that the lift in the multi-storey car park was not work - the engineers are attending to it, but the problem involved is taking much more time to fix than we would like.
- {{helpful}} {{helpful == 1 ? "person thinks" : "people think"}} this response is helpful

Thank you for your feedback.

New Tax Bill Addresses Biases Against Saving and Investing
June 25, 2003
The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 contains several major provisions that will encourage hiring and capital formation; however, these reforms are only temporary and must be extended to have maximum impact upon the economy, says Stephen J. Entin.
While President Bush wanted to completely eliminate the double taxation of both dividends and capital gains, the House ultimately decided to treat capital gains and dividends equally with a rate of 15 percent on each (the Senate's plan would have continued to tax capital gains twice, thereby favoring dividends).
In the former tax code, there were two different tax biases which needed to be addressed:
- The basic bias of the income tax against saving (and in favor of consumption) results from taxing both income that is saved and the returns on that income; all income is taxed when earned, but while there are almost no further federal taxes on consumption, money earned from investing in a stock or bond is taxed again.
- The other anti-saving bias in the tax system is the taxation of dividends at both the corporate and shareholder levels; profits are taxed as corporate earnings and if they are passed on to shareholders as dividends, they are taxed as personal earnings when the stock is sold.
The goal of a good tax system is to eliminate the tax biases against saving and investment. The current Act is a good start and may ultimately lead to a system that puts income saved on a par with income used for consumption, says Entin.

7 Gold Beauty Products That Will Literally Give You The Midas Touch
In recent years, gold has been impacting the beauty community in a big way. Gold is claimed to have anti-inflammatory properties, which means a visible reduction in acne and hyper-pigmentation. Science aside, gold can give an instantaneous boost to the skins luminosity.
Now most of these claims haven't been scientifically proven...yet. But one thing's for sure: gold is glamorous. There's nothing that screams decadence quite like sporting actual 24K gold leaf as a quick-fix facial. At the very least, it puts those animal sheet masks to shame. And, regardless of the discrepancy in long-term benefits, the immediate appearance of an angelic golden glow is impossible to deny.
This list reps the gold standard: Actual visible and tangible results that make these metal-infused products worth melting for. Here are the top seven golden products, at varying price points, to help transform your skincare routine from rags to riches.
1. Farsali
Farsali Rose Gold Elixir, $35, Farsali
2. Tatcha Camelia Beauty Oil
Tatcha Camellia Beauty Oil, $95, Sephora
Tatcha has a whole line of gold-infused and inspired products, like their 23-Karat Gold Illuminated Lipstick, Camellia Nourishing Lip Balm, and their Pore Perfecting Water Gel Moisturizer just to name a few. The Licorice Root Extract calms and soothes the skin while the gold provides a shine-free radiance. Because the oil is extremely lightweight, it even works well to tame frizz without weighing down the hair.
3. Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Eye Patches
Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Hydra-Gel Eye Patches, $75, Sephora
Peter Thomas Roth really has the Midas touch when it comes to 24K gold products. The brand's Golden Cleansing Butter, Prism Cream, Sheet Mask, and Lift & Firm Mask are just some of the stars in their line. But in this skincare galaxy, the 24K Gold Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Hydra-Gel Eye Patches is the sun. Along with gold, these patches are infused with caffeine, collagen, and humectants that help to minimize puffiness and smooth out fine lines instantaneously and over time. You can make them work double time by using them as shadow shields while applying a smokey eye, or flip them over and place the unused side on top of smile lines as well.
4. Kaprielle
Kaprielle 24K Gold Mask, $95, Kaprielle
Maybe you've seen these insanely bizarre and amazing masks making their rounds on the internet already. Their mask kit comes with a 5 ml bottle of their Roses & Gold serum and 35 pure 24K gold sheets. After patting in a couple drops of the serum, you're meant to pat on the gold leaf until your entire face is glistening and gilded. The mask boasts of a dozen benefits, including a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, acne while promoting hydration and circulation. Never before has a mask been so indulgent. Even if the results aren't absolutely life-changing, at least you can get a really good, really expensive selfie!
5. Guerlain
7. Effiny
Though these previously-mentioned products are certainly worth their weight in gold, sometimes we don't want to break the bank to feel beautiful. If this is the case, then look no further than this gold-infused essence. It contains real 24K gold, along with ginseng extract, jojoba oil, and collagen. The reviews are rave, especially considering this product works similiarly to more popular products at a fraction of the price. Effiny will give you that fancy feeling on a budget.

I have seen 5-7 shows at the Actors' Studio and have been pleasantly surprised at the professionalism of the cast. Many of them are young actors making a name for themselves. They usually choose popular productions. My favourite so far was Steel Magnolias. This is dinner theatre, but you may want to skip dinner and just go for dessert before the show.

I didn't bother to look up the history of the kissing ball, but I imagine it goes something like this: Mistletoe is ugly but people still need an excuse to kiss, so someone invented a ball covered in greens, called it a kissing ball and people started smooching under it.
Works for me.
Anyway, I recently took a class on how to make a kissing ball. Other than a few small tricks that make your life a little easier, this is the biggest no-brainer project ever.
Here's what you'll need:
Works for me.
Anyway, I recently took a class on how to make a kissing ball. Other than a few small tricks that make your life a little easier, this is the biggest no-brainer project ever.
Here's what you'll need:
- 4-inch oasis floral foam, really well saturated (overnight or all day).
- A chopstick, sharpened pencil, skewer or something else long and pokey.
- A 12-inch chenille pipe cleaner, preferably green.
- A bit of string, anything will do.
- A 1-inch piece of a twig, or a cut from the previously mentioned poking device.
- A selection of greens.
- A length of pretty ribbon.
I think it's probably easiest to prep everything first, so start by preparing all your greens. You want them cut into about 4-inch lengths, with the end of the "stem" part (the part you'll be sticking into the oasis) clean of needles for at least a half-inch. For the balls we made, we used white pine, port orford cedar and seeded eucalyptus. You can use anything, including flowers. Boxwood would be great and if you really want to guarantee some kisses you could also use mistletoe.
Then take your soaked foam ball (work over a sink or something because this bit is messy) and find the seam and think of it as the equator on a globe. Take your chopstick or pokey thing and stick it through the ball from the north pole to the south pole. If you're using a skinny tool, you may have to wiggle it a little to get a big enough hole.
Then take your chenille pipe cleaner and stick it through the hole. At the bottom of the ball, take your inch-long piece of twig or a cut from your poking device, and wrap a bit of the pipe cleaner around it to create an anchor. Hole up your ball by the other end of the pipe cleaner to make sure it's secure.
On the top of the ball, create a small loop, maybe an inch or so, and twist the rest of the pipe cleaner around the base of the loop.
Take about 8 inches of string and just tie a loop into the small pipe cleaner loop. You'll be cutting this off later so it doesn't have to be fancy; it's just so you don't lose track of the pipe cleaner loop when all the greens are in the ball.
The rest is easy. Starting at the top, stick in your prepared greens. Because we were using several kinds of greens, we started with the white pine as the base, spacing them out about 3/4-inch. Work around the ball, rather on one side, to keep it uniform, and cover the whole ball. Don't forget the bottom.
Then go back and start filling in with the other greens in the spaces you left between the first group of greens. You don't need to cover every last bit of the ball, because you won't see the oasis once it's hanging, but you do want it full. If some extra long greens sneak in there, just trim them off.
We also added a few gold-dipped greens to the very top, but you could also put pinecones or ornaments up there too.
When you're finished, find your pipe cleaner loop and string a piece of pretty ribbon through it, tying it into a loop (as long as you like) with 3-4 inch ends on either side of a square knot. Work the knot under the loop, cut off the piece of string you used as a place holder earlier, and you are finished.
Easy, right? There's no reason not to have a reason to smooch now. You're welcome.
The winner of the Uncommon Goods gift certificate was Laurin, who shared the worst gift she ever received: "The worst gift was from a previous M-inlaw. It was a hideous green and white polyester top that had clearly been on sale! That was well about 35 years ago and I still remember."
Buy yourself something nice with that gift certificate, Laurin. If you wore that top even once, you earned it.

The Morning Ledger: Private Equity Pursues Opportunity Amid Market Tumult
Get the free Morning Ledger emailed to you each weekday morning by clicking here: http://on.wsj.com/TheMorningLedgerSignup.
Good morning. Far from steering clear of the turmoil, Blackstone Group LP saw the sagging markets of last year's final quarter as an opportunity to invest, the WSJ's Matt Jarzemsky reports. The firm said that swooning share prices during the period exposed investment opportunities that weren't available when markets were booming. "New investments have become much more attractive" as many companies' shares have fallen 30% to 40% from recent highs and tighter credit markets limit their access to capital, Blackstone President Hamilton "Tony" James said on a conference call Thursday to discuss the firm's fourth-quarter results.
Private-equity firms have spent the past several years furiously selling companies and other assets into rising markets. But they invested relatively little of the tens of billions of dollars they raised from pension funds, endowments and wealthy individuals. A sustained decline in prices could change that equation, leading to new investments across a broad swath of the market.
In the meantime, the New York Stock Exchange is bracing for more volatility. NYSE on Thursday proposed a series of rule changes designed to avoid another repeat of the market mayhem that struck in August. Many of the proposals are widely agreed upon among exchanges and market participants, but they don't include changes to some of the more contentious issues such as NYSE's Rule 48. The rarely used rule, which allows market-makers to open trading of stocks later on volatile days, was criticized for contributing to problems on Aug. 24.
Ford CFO: Currencies, commodities fail to drag down results. Ford Motor Co. finance chief Robert Shanks said the negative impact of the strong dollar on 2015 results was relatively modest, CFO Journal's Richard Teitelbaum reports. "It's not make or break for a company of our size." Ford reported net income of $1.9 billion as strength in its core North America market helped offset economic turbulence in emerging markets.
Five things to watch in the fourth-quarter GDP report. The Commerce Department publishes its first look at the economy's performance in the fourth quarter at 8:30 a.m. EST on Friday. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal forecast a paltry 0.8% seasonally adjusted annual growth rate for gross domestic product, the broadest measure of output. That would be a slowdown from the third quarter's 2% pace.
American Airlines shares are too low.American Airlines Group Inc. is flying high, but its stock has fallen too far ahead of quarterly results, writes Steven Russolillo for Ahead of the Tape. The sharp plunge in oil prices has greatly benefited the big four U.S. carriers, which account for roughly 80% of the domestic air-travel market.
Xerox to split in two. Xerox Corp., synonymous with once-cutting-edge technology, plans to divide itself into one company containing its hardware operations and another housing its services business. As part of the move, billionaire investor Carl Icahn will get three seats on the services company's board.
A board struggles with its CEO's borrowing.At Swift Transportation Co., the CEO's margin debt on company stock ran up against limits, so the board kept adjusting them. Institutional Shareholder Services, the proxy-advisory firm, has objected to the Swift board's willingness to let top executives pledge shares they own.
Retailers bet big on retooling e-commerce supply chains.Traditional retailers are hoping for a payoff from costly investments to retool their supply chains for e-commerce. Contributing to the risks: Retailers' supply chains often rely on a hodgepodge of old and new back-office systems. That can boost the potential for disruptions, which can quickly translate into lost sales because consumers have little patience for delays.
Banks rip up oil forecasts. Analysts at big banks have been scrambling to lower their oil-market forecasts after prices plunged to 12-year lows below $30 a barrel in January. Here's how bad things are getting in the oil patch: In some cases it is now cheaper for energy companies to buy one another rather than drill for crude. The first signs are emerging that falling commodity prices are starting to hurt U.S. defense exports, as companies deal with shifting priorities on equipment, especially in the Middle East. Meanwhile, oil prices rose to a three-week high on hopes that Russia and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries would cooperate on production cuts.
Why Exxon is the get-rich-slow oil play. Value hunters picking through the oil-industry rubble may do better with Exxon Mobil, writes Spencer Jakab for Heard on the Street. It has a proven ability to take advantage of bad times for the industry. Since 1970, through four booms and four busts in petroleum prices, $100 invested in Exxon has turned into $33,000, including dividends, nearly four times the gain of the S&P 500.
U.S. union membership rate held steady in 2015. The rate of union membership in the U.S. held steady last year, with slight overall gains in union membership rosters outweighed by the rising ranks of nonunion workers. Unions collectively added new members in the private and public sectors, including in industries such as leisure, hospitality, retail, education, and health services, while they saw declines in manufacturing, construction and transportation.
IBM CEO awarded with bigger bonus. International Business Machines Corp. CEO Virginia Rometty is getting a $4.5 million performance bonus for 2015. That's $900,000 more than the $3.6 million in bonus she earned last year. Revenues at IBM have dropped for 15 straight quarters and the company has lowered profit expectations three times since late 2014.
Takata CEO Shigehisa Takada to resign.The chief executive of Takata Corp., the maker of tens of millions of recalled air bags, has said he intends to resign, a person familiar with the matter said.
No quick takeoff for Iran's lofty aviation plans. After a flurry of big deals aimed at revamping Iranian commercial aviation, officials in Iran face a host of obstacles to revamping the sector that could keep some of their loftiest ambitions grounded for some time. Meanwhile, Iran is taking preliminary steps toward leasing or buying commercial satellites, another sign of dramatic changes stemming from the recent international rollback of economic sanctions.
Mattel's Barbie bombshell: Three new body types. Mattel Inc.'s Barbie doll is getting three new body sizes—curvy, petite and tall—to try to stem a long swoon in sales of the iconic toy. In the last four quarters, Barbie's global sales were $904.2 million, down 14% from the previous four quarters. Mattel's total sales fell 6.2% in that same period.
Plan would force pay disclosures by gender. The Obama administration plans to require large employers to peel back the curtain on how much they pay men and women. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission will roll out details of the plan Friday to begin gathering a summary of pay data from employers with 100 or more workers. The data will be used to identify employers that may be engaging in pay discrimination so that the agency can target its enforcement resources.
Italy wants Google to pay back taxes. Italy says Alphabet Inc.'s Google owes $327 million in back taxes for the years 2008 to 2013. Italian authorities allege the company evaded taxes in the country by routing revenue to its office in Ireland and not in Italy, where the firm paid $2.4 million in corporate income tax last year. The firm faces similar tax claims throughout Europe.
New EU brokering rules may boost U.S. ownership of companies.Planned changes to the way investors in Europe pay for brokers' stock research could have an unintended consequence: a rise in U.S. ownership of European companies. The reforms will make it relatively more lucrative for brokers to service U.S. asset managers, leading these investors to become increasingly dominant shareholders in smaller European companies, according to one of the U.K.'s leading independent brokers.
Amazon reports largest profit but still disappoints. Amazon.com Inc. reported the largest quarterly profit in its 19-year history as a public company, but shares tumbled as results fell below analyst expectations. It was also the third straight quarter of profits, the first time Amazon has done so in more than three years. The failure to meet outsize expectations underscores the pressure Amazon now faces after teasing Wall Street in recent quarters with tighter costs and black ink.
Microsoft's earnings show vitality. Microsoft Corp. showed progress in newer cloud-computing services as well as in such established business lines as Windows in the latest quarter. Despite a decline in both the company's revenue and profit for the period ended in December, the numbers topped Wall Street expectations on an adjusted basis. One continuing drag comes from smartphones.
Alibaba results top expectations.Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. posted stronger-than-expected earnings in its fiscal third quarter despite a slowdown in China's economy, underscoring the resilience of the country's consumers. But the company will be challenged to maintain growth given its dominant position, and faces intensifying competition from smaller but more rapidly growing e-commerce companies, in particular JD.com Inc.
Hershey sales hurt by slowdown in China.Hershey Co. on Thursday said its fourth-quarter revenue fell 5%, hurt by a sharp drop in chocolate sales in China, though earnings came in above market expectations.
Harley profits hurt by sluggish demand, dealer discounts. Harley-Davidson Inc. reported a 43% decline in fourth-quarter profit and trimmed its forecast for 2016 shipments as demand remained sluggish and dealers cope with large supplies of used bikes.
Caterpillar sees further revenue weakness. Caterpillar Inc. warned that its sales for 2016 could sink to a six-year low as the company swung to a fourth-quarter loss from expenses to shrink operations as it deals with falling demand.
Electronic Arts' profit buoyed by "Star Wars Battlefront." Electronic Arts Inc. turned in the kind of reliably profitable quarter, driven by strong sales of "Star Wars Battlefront," that has helped the company's stock price to more than double in the past two years.
Bank of Japan introduces negative interest rates. Japan's central bank introduced negative interest rates for the first time, in an attempt to keep the economy from sliding back into stagnation. The unexpected move shows the BOJ's determination to fight global headwinds that threaten to tip the country back into deflation, a damaging cycle of price falls and weakening economy. In search of clues to the BOJ's monetary-policy decision, some firms are using artificial intelligence to supplement human judgment.
U.S. durable-goods orders tumbled 5.1% as global demand remains weak. Demand for long-lasting factory goods sharply declined in December—falling 5.1%—in the latest signal the U.S. manufacturing sector is suffering in the face of global headwinds.
German exporters shudder as China economy slows. German exports to China are suffering their sharpest drop in a quarter of a century, casting a shadow over Europe's biggest economy and showing the global impact of China's slowdown.
Cash is fleeing China. Now what? China is experiencing the greatest episode of capital flight in history, with reserves down $700 billion last year alone. The big worry is that China devalues its currency, which would come at a time that money already is flowing out of emerging markets as investors grow more risk averse and the U.S. Federal Reserve slowly begins to raise interest rates.
Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. said Lee Shavel, its finance chief, will retire after about five years with the company. The former Bank of America Corp. investment banker joined the exchange company in 2011, and will pursue board service in his retirement. Mr. Shavel will join the board of Investment Technology Group Inc., a New York broker and financial-technology provider. Mr. Shavel received 2014 compensation valued at $3.3 million, including a salary of $500,000, a bonus of $1.1 million and equity awards valued at $1.7 million, according to its most recent proxy filing.
Lands' End Inc., a clothier based in Dodgeville, Wis., named James Gooch CFO and operating chief, succeeding Michael Rosera, who will leave the company. He was most recently co-chief executive and chief administrative officer of Demoulas Supermarkets until December 2014, and formerly served as CEO and before that CFO of RadioShack Corp.
USA Technologies Inc., a payment-technology provider based in Malvern, Pa., named Leland Maxwell interim CFO, effective Jan. 28. He succeeds Duncan Smith, who will resign. Mr. Maxwell was the company's CFO and treasurer from 1997 to 2003, and is the founder of Maxwell CFO Consulting, a CFO and controller outsourcing firm. Mr. Smith was named CFO in August, when former CFO David DeMedio was promoted to chief services officer.

The one CEO perk that's not fading away. Since the Securities and Exchange Commission required companies to elaborate on executive compensation, certain perks, like country-club membership, have gone the way of, well, country-club memberships. But the Washington Post's Jena McGregor identifies the one perk that will not go away: the executive physical. This formal going-over of CEO vitals often occurs in places like "top-notch medical centers" and one-percenter spa retreats. About 30% of Fortune 500 companies disclosed offering the perk. Why? "A CEO's health is a huge risk factor," notes Ms. McGregor, pointing to the recent hospitalization of United Airlines Inc. CEO Oscar Munoz after a heart attack. "The other reason boards continue to offer them is that disclosing the cost of the physical in their proxies lets companies telegraph to investors how much they're prioritizing the CEO's health."
Making movies by algorithm. Ryan Kavanaugh, founder of Relativity Media, made himself into a young Hollywood power broker and became known for creating enthusiasm for his projects that few could match, much less explain, writes Benjamin Wallace for New York. Part of his pitch rested on applying algorithms to celebrities and genres to figure out which films would be a safe bet. "Borrowing a tool from Wall Street, he touted his 'Monte Carlo model,' a computer program that runs thousands of simulations, as a device that could predict a film's success far more reliably than even a sophisticated studio executive," Mr. Wallace writes. "Applying this analysis across a studio's entire slate, he could theoretically cherry-pick the winners and channel investors' money into those alone." But his methods have come into question as he struggles to recover Relativity from bankruptcy.
Can you feel me now? Facebook Inc. is set to change its "like" button, marking the end (or possibly the beginning) of a long company discussion on empathy and its importance to the social network. Bloomberg's Sarah Frier profiles Chris Cox, the leader of this tectonic shift, who started at the company in 2005 as its first human-resources chief. "'Empathy' is a word Cox throws around a lot, and which his colleagues often use about him," Ms. Frier writes. "Under Cox, Facebook's product team is tackling more sensitive subjects, such as designing a way for accounts to become memorials after someone's death, or helping users navigate the aftermath of a breakup by selectively blocking pictures of the ex." The goal is to personalize the experience to an extent where algorithm-derived content differs not at all from what a user would pick for himself or herself. "A side effect of making things easier for users: happy advertisers."

DeVon Franklin and Meagan Good decided to save sex for marriage.... More
First of all, it's important to say that sin is sin. Telling a lie is just as wrong as cheating on your partner. One could argue that no sin is bigger than another, as long as it's a mistake and not a lifestyle. For a lot of us, Jesus is our ultimate inspiration, and rightly so. He walked the earth obediently without committing a single sin, and sacrificed himself for us all. We are able to live life with purpose because of his perfect example.
Jesus dying on the cross in our place ensures that we can move on with life but it doesn't mean life is easy. There are trials and tribulations that we have to overcome and we should consistently want to better ourselves. As well as looking to Jesus for guidance, it is perfectly acceptable to find inspiration from the way others live their lives. Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa and Nelson Mandela are people who have gone down in history as extremely influential role model's but it's important to note that they weren't perfect.
Everyone makes mistakes and as humans we have the tendency to categorise them into 'big mistakes' or 'small mistakes' but they're all mistakes none the less in God's eyes. This doesn't mean it's not disappointing when our favourite role model falls short. In fact, for some of us, it's devastating. Israel Houghton shocked the world when he announced he was divorcing his wife of 20 years because of him being unfaithful to her. He received supportive comments and judgemental comments, so it begs the question, how should we react when our favourite Christian role model makes a big mistake?
God is full of grace and mercy and he is the answer to all of our needs and wants. He is able to restore the broken hearted and He truly cares for His people. Why don't you pray for God to pour out His love and forgiveness on all the people involved in the situation? Ask God to help your role model through their troublesome times. Our natural reaction can sometimes be to cast judgement or gossip, but we should always endeavour to make prayer the first thing we do.
Ultimately, no human is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. You may not struggle with cheating on your spouse but the chances are, you struggle with something else. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if people judged you and wrote you off after every mistake you made. When your role model disappoints you, why don't you think about your weaknesses and how hard it is to overcome them sometimes? That will enable you to show grace, compassion, and understanding to others.
Often, when our favourite Christian role models make a mistake, some of us decide to boycott them or to stop supporting anything that person ever did. We need to remind ourselves that the truth is still the truth. Our role models are just hands, feet, and mouthpieces that God uses to spread His word and His love. We were never supposed to be praising the role model. (We're supposed to be praising the God the role model was telling us about). If a role model said 'God loves you' and made a mistake after that sentence, the sentence is still true. Regardless of the mistakes people make, the truth of Jesus will always remain.
A wise man learns from the mistakes of others. When you see the effect a mistake can have on a person, their friends, and their family, let it inspire you to learn from where others have gone wrong. What got them into that position? What were the steps that had to be taken in order to make the mistake? Think about the potential pitfalls your role models may have faced, and trying toput barriers in place so that you don't have to experience the same things.
So many opinions and views are shared over social media. We live in a world where most of our role models have Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and the list goes on. It's likely that if a public figure is exposed or has controversy surrounding them, they'll be getting quite a few negative and judgemental messages. Why don't you go against the grain, and send a message of encouragement. Let them know you're praying for them and wish them well.

Iran to join international talks on Syria
BEIRUT -- Iran will take part in international talks on Syria for the first time this week, giving it a voice in the effort to find a resolution to the more than 4-year-old civil war that has so far defied even the slightest progress toward peace.
A crucial backer of Syrian President Bashar Assad, Tehran has been shunned from all previous talks on Syria. Its inclusion now marks recognition by the United States that no discussion on Syria's future can succeed without Iran at the table.
News of Iran's attendance outraged Syrian rebels, who said its participation will only prolong the conflict.
The gathering, which takes place today and tomorrow in Vienna, will also put Iran in the same room with its most bitter regional rival, Saudi Arabia, raising the potential for tensions. The kingdom, along with other Gulf countries, has been funneling weapons to rebel factions, while Iran has sent financing, weapons and military advisers to ensure Assad's survival.
Iran's participation reflects its newfound place in the international community after the nuclear deal reached with world powers earlier this year. It also shows the seismic shift brought about by Russia's direct military involvement in Syria since launching a campaign of airstrikes on behalf of Assad last month. That intervention has emboldened Assad's supporters.
Russia's intervention -- and its insistence that it seeks a political solution -- have created a new dynamic.
At the heart of the Vienna talks -- and the most contentious issue -- is the future of Assad.
While no one expects a breakthrough, the Vienna talks are the most serious attempt yet to put an end to a conflict that has killed a quarter of a million people and displaced millions of others, touching off a humanitarian crisis of spectacular proportions and unleashing Islamic extremists across the Middle East.
