Picoult '87, writers question future of print media
Some of the panelists spoke about the e-book sales of their own books. Picoult noted that 54 percent of her most recent novel's sales were print books while 46 percent were e-books.
"I'm selling more books, but I am making one third less money because of the lower price of e-books," she said. "Next year I think I will have equal or more sales of e-books but this is not necessarily to the advantage of the author."
Achenbach agreed with Picoult's feelings toward the pricing of e-books and other electronic content.
"I've wondered how is my employer making any money off of what I'm doing? Should I report stories or just start tweeting?" he said.
Gutierrez spoke about the way that advertising in newspapers has adapted to this shift from a traditional print model to a newer online media-based model.
"Our [advertising] numbers in terms of print have decreased, but now we are distributing content in new ways like Twitter," she said. "The distribution is changing, but the content hasn't."
Nicholas presented statistics indicating that Americans are reading more content overall. He said that one problem for media corporations is figuring out how to maintain their previously established relationships with their consumers when content distribution shifts to an online format.
"There are still examples of organizations figuring out how to keep their previous relationship with consumers," he said.
However, Picoult offered a different view of the adaptability of media organizations and publishing houses.
"Publishers are dinosaurs. They were caught with their pants down with e-books," she said.
She also noted the increasing importance of social media in publishing.
"Social media is a huge part of my life now. That is where people find out about their beloved writers now," she said. "Anyone can get published, but that doesn't mean anyone will know it exists ... It is about making people know it's out there."
Achenbach agreed that writers now have to do more self-promotion and marketing to sell their work.
"Entrepreneurs are going to do well in this system, the people who will hustle," he said.
The panel also spoke about the problems of piracy and aggregation of online media content.
"I hate to be so whiny, but pay me for what I do," Achenbach said.
However, the panel noted that it is not just about making sure that their writing sells. Picoult said she does not think the profitability of e-books is an accurate measure of the success of her writing.
"We believe not just in making a buck but in getting people to read. That's why we got into this business," she said.
The panel, titled "The Nook or the Book: What is the Future of the Printed Page?", was held in McCosh 50 and moderated by University Librarian Karin Trainer.

The galleries that have been redone are very good, som eof the old ones are interesting. Overall worth the time. Mind the stairs!
Although a truly national museum, the displays are ordered in a different manner on the two floors. Worth taking in are the Kandyan regal collection, which came back to Ceylon from the British Museum and now form the centrepiece of the collection. The olio of natural history and cultural exhibits leaves a somewhat mixed impression. By themselves they may hold... More
A must see place in Colombo, ofcourse after the Kollupatti beach, dutch hospital and the old parliament buildings. Here you get understand the history and culture of the country and its people. Do not hesitate to talk to other stranger visitors here. They will help you share and compare culture and history of their country as you walk along the... More
When we visited there was a lot of renovation work going on so the actual displays were very limited and there were really only 2 galleries, though they say there are more as they count each gallery as 2 or 3 by including subdivisions. There were some interesting artefacts but the overall impression was boring. It was rather hot and... More
Situated at Albert Crescent, Colombo 7 and is good to visit to gain some knowledge of the culture and history of Sri Lanka.
Not too pricey (200 RS I believe). Very quite on the day I visited. Not always a lot of explanations to go with the artifacts. Has a bit of a dark and dusty feel to it but there are some pretty things hidden among the rest.
This museum is a perfect introduction to a tour over the lovely island of Sri Lanka. Some galleries are a bit oldfashioned but the overall quality of the objects shown and the information given on the history and art forms is very good
There is a lot of great history here that helps explain to new comers about Sri Lankan history. There are some great relics here including Buddhist and Hindu artwork, the Sri Lankan national throne, crown and scepter taken by the English and then returned, a great collection of ancient stone carved pillars, religious figures and (yeah get this:) squat loos....

If you dont have time to go and see the ruined cities in Anuradhapura or Polonnaruwa you may at least go and see what you can see in those places. Also if you wish to see the throne and the crown of the last Sri lankan King dont miss this place. If you are a foreign traveler on a short... More
The museum is only covering the Buddhist Sri Lankan kingdoms but nothing else. It is therefore not complete as the last 2 hundred years are only mentioned very briefly. The main focus is on Buddhism. I did expect more than that. Also the rooms are not air conditioned and we had to rush through as our baby had problems with... More

Bringing Hope to a Hopeless World
Gospel Light Worldwide is currently helping children enter and grow in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in 16 different countries in four major regions of the world divided into four major categories:
Critical Nations | These countries have become our highest priority projects because they are where we have been called and the Lord is actively working. We consider China, India and South Africa our 2009 Critical Nations.
Under Review | This country has recently come to our attention as we prayed and studied God's Word. The Bible is very clear about blessing Israel and whom the Lord loves. We are seeking His direction on how best to serve His people and His Land.
Ongoing Significance | These are the projects are either in the early stages of transitioning to sustainability or still in ongoing development. Included are Cameroon, Kenya, Uganda and Poland.
Transitioning | These projects are in the final stages of transitioning towards self-sustainability. Transitioning countries include Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia, Egypt, Georgia, Lebanon, Romania and Russia. Donations to these countries moving towards self-sustainability can be made directly to our transitioning partner, World Vision.
Please visit each country often to see what God is doing around the world as we update regularly.
Follow the Numbers
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 2006 Midyear International Database, Africa has 371,571,125 children under the age of 14; India has 337,331,587 children under the age of 14; China has 273,907,572 children under the age of 14; and Latin America has 103,179,670 children under the age of 14.
In the world, there are only 1,789,461,717 – that's one billion, seven hundred eighty-nine million, four hundred sixty-one thousand, seven hundred and seventeen children under 14 years of age. That means that over 60 percent of all children under the age of 14 reside in those four regions.

The Age of Innocence
Reader's Guide - Discussion Questions
Edith Wharton's original title for
The Age of Innocence
was Old New York. Which title do you think is more fitting?
In the first chapter of
The Age of Innocence
, the narrator describes Newland Archer as being at heart a dilettante, and thinking over a pleasure to come often gave him a subtler satisfaction than its realization. How does this brief character analysis foreshadow his future choices?
The novel is told entirely from Newland Archer's point of view by an unnamed omniscient narrator. How does this shape the reader's understanding of May Welland and Ellen Olenska?
In Book One, Newland compares marriage to a voyage on uncharted seas, noting that May's frankness and innocence were only an artificial product. How does the action of Book Two prove his early intuition correct?
How does Newland view himself compared to other men in Old New York, especially Julius Beaufort?
It may be easy to forget that Ellen Olenska is not especially beautiful. Why are both Newland and Julius so drawn to her? What else do these two men have in common?
In contrast to her artistic European cousin, May Welland is an accomplished athlete. What does her skill in archery reveal about her character?
How does Newland feel the first time he visits Ellen Olenska's home? What distinguishes it from other homes in fashionable New York?
Newland's relationship with Ellen leads him to see how elementary his own principles had always been. Which principles, in particular, does she challenge?
What is revealed about Ellen's life in Europe? What is concealed? What kind of cruelty did Ellen endure as the wife of Count Olenski? What kind of cruelty does she experience in America?
In Book Two, the whole of New York was darkened by the tale of Beaufort's dishonor. What is this failure, and why does it rupture all of society?
Is there an innocent character in the novel? Is there a villain? What might playwright David Ives mean when he says the novel is an extraordinary portrait of the villainy of innocence?
Does Wharton's narrator condemn this society or does she merely describe the hypocrisies of New York in the 1870s? Is the tone sarcastic, ironic, or mocking?
In her memoir,
A Backward Glanc
e, Wharton reveals a clue to her fiction: My last page is always latent in my first; but the intervening windings of the way become clear only as I write. How is this true in

Obama's 'Fix it First' Program Would Mend 'Deficient' Hill Avenue Bridge
In his 2013 State of the Union Address Tuesday, President Barack Obama touched on immigration policy, gun control and the economy, among other national issues. In terms of infrastructure, he proposed a "Fix it First" plan that may affect Glen Ellyn.
President Barack Obama proposed Tuesday night what he called a "Fix It First" program to address the nation's crumbling infrastructure—like roads and bridges—in an effort to improve citizens' quality of life and bring jobs to the United States.
"I propose a 'Fix-It-First' program to put people to work as soon as possible on our most urgent repairs, like the nearly 70,000 structurally deficient bridges across the country," he said during the State of the Union Address.
"And to make sure taxpayers don't shoulder the whole burden, I'm also proposing a Partnership to Rebuild America that attracts private capital to upgrade what our businesses need most—modern ports to move goods; modern pipelines to withstand a storm; modern schools worthy of our children."
Many of the structurally deficient bridges Obama referred to are located throughout the Chicago area, according to Transportation for America. The organization's campaign says coordinators are "eager to reform how we spend transportation dollars at the federal, state and local level to create a safer, cleaner and smarter transportation system that works for everyone."
One bridge in Glen Ellyn, the Hill Avenue bridge, which crosses the East Branch of the DuPage River is categorized as "deficient"
Transportation for America Data indicates that an average of 4,600 cars use the bridge daily.
Overall, Illinois ranks 35th in the country when it comes to inadequate bridges with about 8.5 percent of all its bridges rated as such.
That may change if Obama has anything to say about it.
"Let's prove that there is no better place to do business than the United States of America," he said Tuesday. "And let's start right away."
Dan Smith, Jr.

Wait a second....Glen Ellyn had their arm twisted by Lombard to help with the repairs of this bridge....are you saying work has stopped on it?
Mary Ann Lopez
11:08 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
I will check on it Dan. It's on the list and I wasn't aware of any work being done, nor is it specified, if you view that document.
Mary Ann Lopez
3:28 pm on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Lombard is leading the project, which is still in the planning stages, but work has yet to commence. Glen Ellyn is helping to fund it.
Dan Smith, Jr.
9:17 pm on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Thanks, didn't know if you knew the back story where lombard threatened to close the bridge if GE didn't agree to share some costs.

According to a Tweet by Sole Collector, this was part of Reebok's presentation to John Wall. Of course, we already know Wall won't be No. 11, that's reserved for Elvin Hayes.
When a first saw a picture of a Reebok's Zag Slash (below), I was like 'meh' — the shoe has nice creativity in the sole and in the triangle design pattern, but I feel like the patent leather (or pleather) shine is getting played out and the huge 'Reebok' text is a little blaring.
On the other hand, they look damn good in Wizards colors — while they're still around — and on John Wall's feet.

This is a keynote speech by John Dean, former White House Counsel to President Nixon and a key figure in the Watergate investigation and political scandal. He spoke about Watergate, President Nixon, and his own involvement in the events that led to the end of the administration.
Watergate reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein participate in a discussion on Watergate and presidential accountability as well as how Watergate changed the presidency.
Katharine Graham, the publisher of the Washington Post during Watergate, was interviewed in 1997. She spoke at the Newseum in Arlington, Virginia.
Washington Post journalists Ben Bradlee and Bob Woodward recently traveled to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum-–where a new Watergate Exhibit has just debuted-–to talk about the political scandal and the fallout for President Nixon. They reflect on the role of the anonymous source known only as "Deep Throat" and reveal the behind-the-scenes events that shaped the newspaper's Watergate coverage.
In this program from our 1999 "American Presidents: Life Portraits" series we focused on James Garfield's life and career. Historians discussed Garfield's military service, his election as president and assassination shortly after his inauguration. Suzanne Miller, the site manager at Garfield's home in Mentor, Ohio, talked about several of the artifacts and documents that Garfield left behind.
C-SPAN's Local Content Vehicles take American History TV on the road. Throughout the weekend of May 18-20 we feature the history of Columbia, South Carolina.
Thousands of colonists rejected the War for American Independence and many fled to the British stronghold of New York City. San Jose State University History Professor Ruma Chopra discusses the situation in the city and the perspective of those who looked upon the British as natural allies in religion, language and blood and thought the violence of rebellion was unnecessary and unlawful.
This is a look at President Eisenhower's views and actions in the area of civil rights, including the desegregation of the armed forces, his appointments of pro-civil rights Supreme Court justices and the dispatching of the 101st Airborne division to assist in the integration of Little Rock High School in Arkansas. This discussion was part of a conference titled, "Ike Reconsidered: Lessons from the Eisenhower Legacy for the 21st Century," co-hosted by Hunter College, City University of New York, the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute & the Eisenhower Foundation.
American History TV visited San Francisco's Chinatown to follow historian Charlie Chin as he tells the story of the Chinese in America to a group of college students. This is part one of a three-part series on San Francisco's Chinatown. This portion of the series was recorded in the Chinese Historical Society of America Museum.

Female Athlete of the Week: Shantyce Brodhead, Kingston High School, basketball (video)
Shantyce Brodhead has a been a big behind-the-scenes person for the Kingston High girls basketball team.
The senior guard, who had 11 points and six assists in Tuesday's victory over Pine Bush, has been doing a little of everything.
Brodhead has sacrificed her offense to aid the team on defense, getting key rebounds, battling for loose balls, tying up defenders to force jump balls and being the playmaker.
She's enjoying her best all-around season in what is also her first injury-free varsity season.

Its proper name, La Antigua Guatemala, means "the old Guatemala," and this is in fact what it is. The former capital of Guatemala was destroyed by an earthquake in 1773. Rather than rebuild, the country's aristocracy opted for a fresh start in the neighboring Valley of the Hermitage, the current site of Guatemala City [1].
And so, by decree, the city and its inhabitants moved on. Still, some Antigueños stayed behind, choosing to live among the ruins, coffee farms, verdant hillsides, and sentinel volcanoes. The city's colonial architecture was maintained, as there were no plans to rebuild, and its ruined churches and convents remained just that. It is said the remaining residents of Antigua were so poor they had to subsist on avocadoes, earning them the nickname Panzas Verdes (Green Bellies).
Today, Antigua (as it is more commonly referred to) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to much of Guatemala's expatriate population along with scores of international students studying in its many Spanish Language Schools [2]. Its brightly colored houses and cobblestone streets harbor some of Guatemala's finest restaurants [3], shopping [4], and art galleries [5] in a fantastic mountain setting that has inspired artists, writers, and wanderers for centuries. Antigua is a pleasant mixture of Mayan and Spanish colonial influences and is an excellent base from which to explore other parts of the country.
Antigua lies 45 kilometers from Guatemala City via a good, paved highway. Its setting is spectacular, flanked on its southern extreme by towering 3,750-meter (12,325-foot) Agua Volcano. The colossal 4,235-meter (13,900-foot) Acatenango and active Fuego Volcanoes lie to the west. The surrounding hillsides provide wonderful views of the valley and the volcanoes, and are excellent terrain for recreational pursuits such as hiking [6] and mountain biking [7].
The climate is similar to that of Guatemala City, as Antigua lies at about the same altitude, just over 1,500 meters. Days are warm and nights are pleasantly cool.

How To Deal With Anger
honk if you're angry!
We've all seen this slogan one time or another on bumper stickers or billboards when driving. American society has become so enraged that it takes a bit of humor like this slogan to bring us back to reality. The irony of it all is that the more we "honk," the angrier we get. So ask yourself the following questions to determine if you're the angry type:- When faced with everyday delays or frustrations such as elevators that don't immediately arrive at your floor, slow-moving supermarket lines, dawdling drivers, rude teenagers, broken vending machines, etc... does your immediate impulse cause you to blame somebody?
- Does this blame quickly spark your ire toward the offender?
- Does your ire often manifest itself in aggressive action?
anger is toxic
High blood pressure, decreased blood sugar levels, headaches, migraines, psychoses, and even death, are the most common side-effects of chronic anger. For many years now, a good number of clinical research centers have carried out trials whereupon hundreds of angry volunteers took tests and were followed for many years to establish a pattern between anger and one's health.The results had definitive indications that anger does kill in the long run. It is estimated that a person who is generally angry all his life will die 10 years younger than a person who controls his anger and stress. Now do I have your attention? Good. This is where things get real interesting.
Anger caused by stress and negative thoughts decreases serotonin levels in one's brain, which ensues the following:
So how can you stop anger from taking over? Here's how... Next Page >>

I came to watch my favorite football team play on Sunday afternoon and was treated in the worst way. The waitress took me to the area that was playing the ball game I requested. I was really enjoying the game after I had finished my meal, when the waitress decided she was not going to let me finish watching my team by going behind the DJ booth and changed the channel. When I went up to the DJ booth and asked the DJ to change the channel back to the game I was watching, he pointed to my waitress stooping down where the control center was telling me that it was broken. I don't believe that to be true, the game, she changed it to was playing fine. I am extremely angry about my experience there, so I had to tell everybody how trifling they are at that place. Just because it's a team you don't support, doesn't mean you can disrespect your customers in such a rude trifling way. I will never go there ever again! Faithfully, my team still won, but I would have liked to watch them win.
Frank Ski's Restaurant and Lounge is located at 2110 Peachtree Rd. NW Atlanta, GA 30309. The restaurant's food and cocktail menu's are accessible online. I drove to this location in search of discovering the night life Frank Ski's Restaurant and Lounge had to offer.
Friday night around midnight I arrived at the venue location ready to hear some hip hop and enjoy the pineapple upside down cake martini I spotted on their online drink menu. I was pleasantly surprised to see the patio was full of people as I prepared to enter the parking lot. The scene:adult (28-40), professional crowd having fun.
The venue has valet parking only which is $10 per car and let me just say parking took some time due to the number of people arriving and how quickly the lots had filled up from earlier that night. After finally parking which took 15 -20 minutes, I walked up the slight hike to get to the venue. I was informed after 12am the cover charge is $20.
When I got inside I saw a crowd of people dancing and enjoying different hip-hop, rap, and popular songs from a variety of area codes. The dj was doing his job getting the crowd excited. The vibe amongst patrons: "let the good times roll." Everyone was there to have a good time so you would rarely see people standing around not dancing to the music or having fun while sipping drinks.
This is not the venue if you came to stand against the wall and stare at the opposite sex. This is the place to let your hair down and have a good time around people who are adult professionals who still know how to party. Ladies are in dresses and heels, men were dressed neatly- urban adult attire. When I want to have a good time, I will definitely go back. By the way, the pineapple upside down cake martini was delicious.

HP ElitePad 900 tablet won't run Snap feature
Display's resolution is too low for new Windows 8 dual-app Snap
Computerworld - The HP ElitePad 900 tablet, announced earlier Monday, comes with a screen resolution below what's required to run Snap, a unique feature that allows two apps to be viewed simultaneously.
The tablet, intended for business users and due to be released in January, features a 10.1-in. display with a 1280-x-800-pixel resolution. However, Microsoft requires a 1366-x-768-pixel resolution for the Windows 8 Snap feature to work.
HP explained the shortcoming in a news release footnote that reads: "The integrated display resolution is below the threshold for Snap, a Windows Store interface feature that allows two Windows Store applications to be viewed simultaneously. This feature may be enabled by attaching an external 1,366 x 768 or higher resolution display.
The shortcoming was dubbed a "fatal flaw" of the tablet in a PC World story, although HP apparently decided that Snap won't be a critical ingredient for users of the ElitePad. Pricing for the tablet has not been announced, and some analysts speculated that HP was holding down the expected price with a lower resolution display.
In a statement emailed by a spokeswoman, HP said Snap does not currently support Outlook or business applications, even though it will be "a convenient tool for consumers in the new Windows 8 interface.... HP's extensive focus group and human factors testing with customers over the past decade has dictated our product design. This research has indicated customer preference for a 16:10 ratio in a tablet form factor due to usability and comfort (the slightly wider design balances better on the forearm), the wider viewing angle and ideal display of legacy applications."
Microsoft's own Surface and the Samsung ATIV, both running Windows RT, will have high enough resolutions for Snap, as will the Windows 8 Dell Latitude 10. Analysts are still awaiting pricing on many of the Windows 8 and Windows RT tablets, although some said the lowest priced Windows RT tablets will be above $500, with Windows 8 tablets much higher.

A grading shortcut
Beverly Horvit | Texas Christian University
I believe in giving lots of quizzes and homework, but I don't have time to grade everything.
On some assignments, particularly tricky ones, I'll put the students in groups of three the day the assignment is due and let them compare answers and turn in collective homework. With a class of 15, that means I'll only have five papers to grade.

Moderators: kiralouise, DunDunDun, MavsZane
missingllama wrote:Okay, so, I was doing some thinking in the shower and I think I've come to some conclusions.
I used to sometimes wonder if I'd regret joining the forums. There were a lot of things and factors that I had to weigh in and being the ADD person that I am, I never really thought about it for long.
But in the shower as I was thinking about this book I'm writing and procrastinating, I thought about how the characters in it have to cope with different changes in their lives, and I planned out a scene where the main character wonders what it would be like to have to face any of these changes alone and the thought terrifies her. And since the main character is kind of based off of me, and one of her best friends is facing the same changes I am, I thought about how I had to cope with it alone and how this would parallel in the book and how it was kind of unfair for me to have to face it alone and this girl would have her friends to help her.
Only, then I realized I wasn't alone. I had you guys.
And as I thought about it more, adding in other things I'd already thought about, I came to think a few things.
1.) Before I found you guys, I was all alone for the most part. In the end of 5th grade and all of 6th grade I had no friends at school, no one to hang out with, no one to talk to, no one to confide in. I had just moved and we were going through a rough time and having to adjust to so many things and it was completely lonely. But I didn't really mind.
Why? Because I suddenly became emotionally detached. To combat the loneliness, and I guess to cope with it, I became bitter and mean and angry at the world, and sad at what I had to leave behind. I was angry because I couldn't make friends because of my dumb voice, I was angry I had to move 687 miles away from my friends and family and the only life I'd ever known, I was angry that my parents wouldn't stop fighting and that they had to drag me down here.
I was bitter. I convinced myself that I was better than everyone in my grade and became cocky, and that I didn't need them as friends after I couldn't make any. I shunned people who tried to be my friend in the 5th grade even, and now I regret that, because as I look back I know now that they really were nice people who were trying to be friendly. I guess some or really most of the fault was my own that I didn't have any friends.
This year in 7th grade we got back reports and papers our 6th grade teachers had written about us. In the report the 6th grade teacher would have to write two adjectives to describe his student: I got "Sardonic" and "Brilliant," in that order.
I looked up "sardonic" and realized that yeah, I was sardonic. If you don't know what that means, it means "bitterly sarcastic." And really, that completely and perfectly described how I was in 6th grade. No explanation needed.
2.) The whole cause of that whole list up there was all because I was lonely.
3.) Then I met you guys.
Okay, so I've learned a lot of things from you guys. You've changed me so much as a person and now I don't know what I would have done without you guys.
You guys have taught me empathy. You've taught me to think about the other person and consider in all the factors and reasons why he would be acting like he is and what he's feeling and made me understand.
Jabber jay, if you ever read this, you specifically taught me not to be mean to others or else you'll regret it. You and Uprising123 and Oohlala44 and lauronlovespeeta and a few other people. I'm really, truly sorry from the bottom of my heart and I regret ever being mean to you guys so much <3 Back then I used to dislike you guys, or sometimes even hated at moments, but now I love you guys. You guys have taught me it's really hard to hate someone, because there's usually so many sides to a person.
You guys took away the loneliness that was preventing me from having friends and you guys have taught me to warm up and become nicer and more kind. You guys have taught me so many life lessons and taught me to think deeper and to become more humble and...
I don't know. You guys, I love you all so much, and I love pretty much every single person on this forum. I will never forget you guys. I will never forget all the memories, moments, friendships, happy days, good days...any of it.
To this day I still don't understand how any of you guys could love me. I'm still selfish, whiny, dumb, slow, mean, condescending, annoying, and some days I'm really foul and in a bad mood and I lash out at you guys. I try not to, but I do. And you guys still stay here and love me anyway.
You guys were the comfort when I was having trouble, and you guys were the people I clung to when I had no one else in life. And now that I'm in the place where I'm happiest I can look back and realize just how much you guys have done for me just by being here and going on this forum. I am so glad that each and every one of you has joined and has stuck here and decided to stay, even if it's not forever. Throughout the past almost year, I can say I've honestly become happier because of you guys.
You guys don't know how much you mean to me.

The president's men trash the Constitution to pursue antagonists
Americans' confidence in the economy jumped this month, helped by a better outlook for the job market and expectations for higher pay.
Barack Obama has been president for 51 months, and America is still waiting for that change he told us to hope for. The latest economic indicators continue to point in the wrong direction: Durable-goods orders are falling, growth in factory output is sluggish and optimism is dissolving.
The average home price in the nation's top 20 cities rose smartly by 8.1 percent in the past year — the fastest increase since the peak of the housing bubble in the summer of 2006, according to the S&P Dow Jones index released Tuesday.
It was the tax cut that nobody noticed two years ago. And it was rarely mentioned in the fight between Congress and the White House last year over the expiring Bush-era tax cuts. But this month, the payroll-tax cut suddenly registered on everybody's radar screen — when it went away.
Recession is coming. That's the cheery news emanating from the green eyeshades at the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The nonpartisan economists last month issued a report outlining the likely outcomes given a set of probable scenarios.
U.S. consumer confidence tumbled in December, driven lower by fears of sharp tax increases and government spending cuts set to take effect next week.
House Republican leaders said Thursday that they will bring their chamber back to town this weekend to try to avert the "fiscal cliff" — the sole optimistic sign on a day when pessimism deepened within both parties on whether Congress can avoid the looming tax increases and automatic spending cuts.
U.S. consumer confidence rose this month to its highest level in almost five years, pushed up by steady improvement in hiring.
A flurry of reports Thursday showed that U.S. consumers are growing more confident and spending more, boosting a still-weak economy just five days before the presidential election.
Stocks rose strongly Thursday on Wall Street following positive reports about manufacturing and consumer confidence, two keys elements of the economic recovery.
At first glance, it looked as if the elections might be a slam-dunk for Republicans this year, given the way presidents in recent history have fared in the face of poorly performing economies. But as the GOP is finding out, today's economy is a double-edged sword that is cutting both for and against President Obama.
Early this week, investors saw a modest jump in consumer confidence in September, according to the index compiled by the Conference Board. That brought good news, so-so news and even some bad news.
Four major business groups see gloomy times ahead for the job market and the economy, according to a string of separate surveys and polls released this week that cast fresh doubt on hopes that the economic recovery may have turned the corner.
Consumer confidence perked up this month while home prices posted their third straight month of gains in the latest signs that the economy continues to slowly but steadily improve.
U.S. consumer confidence jumped this month to the highest level since February, bolstered by a brighter hiring outlook.

MileSplit National Team Power Rankings (Nov. 6)
No teams lost this past weekend, although a few had close calls. On the boys side, Neuqua Valley, North Central, Danbury, Crater and North Penn each won state championships, while Jesuit accomplished the feat on the girls side. As the season wraps up, the top teams emerge.

2. Neuqua Valley (IL) - Neuqua Valley won the Boys AAA state title, beating defending champion York 86-105.
3. North Central (WA) - Using a spread of only 49 seconds, North Central won state scoring a mere 36 points.

9. The Woodlands (TX) - A dominating performance over Cedar Park and Georgetown at their regional places the Woodlands in this week's power rankings. The squad lost to Cedar Park at the Nike South Invitational, however, the momentum this team is building seemingly can't be beat.

History 101: Eli Manning should struggle vs. 'Skins
November 30, 2012 @ 14:39:02 PDT
Following a three-game stretch in which he failed to throw a single touchdown pass, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning unloaded on the Green Bay Packers in Week 12 to the tune of 249 yards and three scoring strikes.
That means he is back, right, and fantasy owners can count him reliable again? Not so fast, says this guy. Manning has a great matchup on paper against his rival Washington Redskins. This defense has given up the eighth most fantasy points (20.3) per game to the quarterback position in the last month and the second most over the duration of the season. However, if history is any kind of prognosticative measuring stick, Eli could struggle mightily against the 'Skins this week. His 337-yard, one-TD Week 7 performance this year was Manning's best outing against them since 2009 and only the second game in his career with at least 300 yards versus this group. The two-time Super Bowl champ has one fantasy effort with more than two passing touchdowns and only three games with more than a single offensive score. Table: Eli Manning vs. Washington Redskins 2008-12
As you can see, it hasn't been a pretty go of it for Eli against Washington. He hasn't thrown a TD pass in three of his last five meetings with them, and Manning has had at least one pass picked off in eight of his last night games against the Redskins. Long story short, you may want to consider other options this week or at least temper your expectations for Manning. In the event your playoffs are on the line, starting another quarterback should be one of your primary concerns this week. Some waiver wire options to consider include Christian Ponder, Jake Locker, Ryan Tannehill, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Chad Henne and Brandon Weeden. About Cory J. BoniniCory is KFFL's General Manager.

Crochet: Koala Bear Amigurumi {Tutorial & Pattern}
I found a Koala Bear Amigurumi Pattern in the Woman's Day website and I have some off-white and gray organic cotton yarns on hand, so I made a pair of these small little stuffed koala bears for my kids in reverse color.
Some ideas to make it differently:
1. This adorable little koala is about 3-5″ tall only (depend on your yarn and the matching hook size), install a key ring on it's head and turn it into a key chain, hang it to the bag's zipper.
2. If we sew the limbs closer to the center of the body and insert 4 small strong magnets to the tip of each limb, you can make it "huggy" and hug on a tree branch or at the edge of your curtain or your pencil, ruler etc…
3. And, and…. instead of poly-fills, stuff beads into the body to weight it down and with the magnets of it limbs, it can be a cute memo holder on your desk too
4. Use a chunkier yarn and bigger hook, crochet a giant version to become a soft toy.
Lets get the how-to for the basic koala bear amigurumi:
Follow the crochet pattern at the above pattern link to crochet all the parts of the koala bear, which consist of:
1 head (stuff firmly and complete)
1 body
1 nose
2 ears
4 limbs
Remember to leave a long yarn end (about 6-8″) for every part so that you will have enough yarn to sew.
You need 2 black beads (I used about 5.5mm or 7/32″ to match the size of the head I crocheted).
Tapestry needle and scissor.
Find the appropriate positions for the ears, approx at the center of the vertical cross section of the head, middle of the height.
Sew to attach the nose in the center between the 2 ears.
Sew eyes 2 stitches away from the nose.
Stuff the body firmly and sew it to the bottom of the head.
Lastly, stuff and sew the limbs to the body. ~~Done~~

http://twogirlsbeingcrafty.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-first-amigurumi-koko-koala.html11hi please cud i buy it off u
12ok .can i just say i think you are amazing xx
13A Koala is not a bear! It is a marsupial. Their name has never been "Koala Bear". That is simply an erroneous term that is often used these days. I guess I feel so strongly about it because as an Australian child born in 1990, I grew up listening to great things such as The Wiggles and Don Spencer and I specifically remember Don Spencer's song about Koalas not being bears! "Please don't call me a Koala bear, cause I'm not a bear at all. Please don't call me a koala bear, it's driving me up the wall!" That being said, I think I might just make one of these cuties!
14I love this sweetie and would like to make my own one, but the problem is, that I can`t reach the website with the pattern … Tryed everything, but the pattern just don`t want to open. Could you sometime copy and post the pattern here, please, please?? I would be very grateful for that.
15I am making this my first amigurumi project – so cute! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us!
16Pingback:AMIGURUMI | Precious Crafts
I clicked on the link and it takes me to the page but the person who posted the pattern has set it to private now… Any idea where I could find another Koala
17Why can I not get to the pattern part of the Koala bear?
18Hi, can you please help with the access to that site?
19The koala is NOT A BEAR. It is a marsupial.
20In the pattern, it says mm at the end of every row.. what does that mean? I know it means millimeters but it doesn't seem to make sense in the context it's used.
Thanks! Adorable project.
21I decided to give this a try and have had great success with every part except for the nose. The instructions for the nose lack the clarity of the instructions for the other parts of the koala, and as a beginner, this has stopped me in my tracks with a noseles marsupial!
Here is where I am confused:
- It say to chain three and then single crochet twice, but it doesn't specify where those two single crochet stitches go. Do they both go in the second loop from the hook? One on the second and one on the third? Somewhere else?
- Then it says to chain one and turn (ok. I can handle that).
- But then it says to do two single crochets, but again it doesn't say where. Which stitch(es) do I put those two single crochets in?I think from that point on I would be ok. I have tried several different variations, but the nose just never seems to look right. Please help clarify the directions for the nose if you have the time. I would be very thankful as this help would allow me to finish my first amigurumi.
Thank you!
22It did help. Thank you so much! I have completed my first amigurumi, and it looks great!
23I really want to have a go at making this pattern but the link is not working, please can somebody help ???
24The link isn't working again
I really want to give this pattern a try can someone please post it on here or email it to me?
Please help!!
Thanks.25This is the most cutest thing ever!
26I made this koala, but he doesn't sit up very well. What did I do wrong?
27this is just the cutest little "bear" i love it .. i know my kids will too.. quick question how do i attach the legs and such … do i crochet them on ???
thank you in advance28FYI – if you're having trouble with the link – try to use a regular browser from a desktop/laptop. Neither my iPad nor my iPhone are able to view the pattern link at Women's Day, but I was able to from Safari on my laptop. This little dude is so adorable and since our new elementary school has a Koala mascot I'm hoping to make these for the year end gifts for the teachers. Maybe if I start this weekend.. they may get done in time! (nearly a year to go!). Thanks for sharing the tips!
29Hi! Im just starting to crochet and these are the things i want to make!! I think im not going to do so well but i want to try
What type of yarn do I buy if i may ask? and also what size?? Thank you so so much!! You are really talented!30Is there anyway you can email me the pattern? I was unable to get it to load. Also do you have any pointers to a beginner??! Thanks much in advance.
31Could you please email me the pattern? I started to do it, but when i finished the head and the body it disappeared from the linked webpage! And my little son is waiting for his koala… Thank you in advance.
