The monthly review of the stocks in the Dow Jones Industrials reveals which ones are the most oversold but Moneyshow's Tom Aspray cautions investors to be cautious about their entry level as they are likely to become more oversold before they bottom.
The stock market's decline last Friday reversed many of the positive readings from the prior day's strong close. The market internals are still locked in their month-long trading range but the downward pressure on the stock market seems to be growing as we head into the Election Day.
The past month has been especially hard for the some of the large cap, high yielding Dow stocks. The SPDR Diamond Trust (DIA) in October lost more than 1% more than the Spyder Trust (SPY). Of course concerns over a potential hike in the tax rate on dividends has clearly been a factor that has depressed many of these stocks.
Therefore, I found the results of my monthly scan of the 30 Dow stocks quite interesting. As a quick reminder this scan looks at where the 30 stocks that make up the Dow Industrials closed October in relation to their starc bands.
This has been a regular monthly feature for over a year. If a stock closed near its upper starc band (starc+) it is considered to be a risk buy and overbought. Conversely, closeness to the lower starc band (starc-) indicates that a stock is a high risk sell or oversold.
Of course that does not mean that an overbought stock can't go higher or an oversold stock can't go lower. Therefore, once I have the scan results I look at how the stocks are performing versus the S&P 500 and also their monthly volume patterns.
The table shows that The Coca Cola Co (KO) is at the top of the list as it is 9.4% above its starc- band. The surprise with this month's analysis is that a close technical review of the 10 most oversold Dow stocks suggests that almost all look as though they can still go lower in November.
Many of stocks on the list are being recommended by analysts because of their long-term growth potential but an entry level or stop is generally not given. The analysis of these four Dow stocks suggests that now is not the time to be doing aggressive new buying in spite of their attractive yields or long-term growth potential.
Chart Analysis: Coca Cola Co (KO) peaked in early August at $40.67 and is now 8.8% below this high. The close in October was the lowest in four months with the 20-month EMA at $35.55.
McDonald's Corporation (MCD) was at the top of the August monthly oversold list but dropped to third this month. The close in October was below the monthly uptrend, line d.

A delegation consisting of local community and charity organisations, schools, media and representatives from the Muslim Council of Britain joined the Muslim Chaplain to the Armed Forces, Imam Asim Hafeez and members of the British Army for a visit to Belgium and France to remember and reflect on the often forgotten contribution that Muslim soldiers made during the First World War. The delegation visited the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing in Belgium, dedicated to the memory of the British and Commonwealth soldiers who were killed in the Ypres Salient of the First World War, whose graves are unknown. It contains the names of over 54,000 Commonwealth soldiers who died without graves; thousands of whom were Muslims from the Indian sub-continent. The group further visited the India Gate in France where the Indian Army made a significant contribution during the war effort and the peak of their involvement came at the Battle of Neuve Chapelle in March 1915. The names of the many missing Indian soldiers are inscribed on interior panels along with the regimental crests of Indian Army Units. Among the many Indian features, there is a 15 metre high column in the foreground recalling the pillars of Asokar (Ashokan) surmounted by a Lotus capital, the Star of India, the Imperial Crown and the inscription in Arabic calligraphy of 'Bismillah-hir-rahman-nir-raheem'. The Muslim Chaplain to the Armed Forces, Imam Asim Hafeez, led a short service of remembrance and thanks. Signing the Book of Remembrance, Shahid Akmal, Chair of MCB's Education Committee said "the Muslim contribution is often forgotten. At a time when there is much criticism of Muslims in Europe, we need to look no further than the First World War to see what a crucial role Muslims played, where thousands paid the ultimate sacrifice in defence of sovereignty". The visit follows a publication the MCB released in November 2009 entitled "Remembering the Brave" detailing the contribution of Muslims during the First and Second World Wars. [END] The Muslim Council of Britain is the UK's largest Muslim umbrella body with around 500 affiliated national, regional and local organisations, mosques, charities and schools.

So you have your suitcases laid out for everyone in the family, now the question is what to bring? You already know that your whole house won't fit in the car. But no need to worry, follow these helpful hints and packing should be a breeze.
Stay organized, lists are a perfect way to keep control. Keep lists for each member of the family, this will prevent any confusion in what you have packed and what you need to pack.
For the Children:
You may think that you need everything but if you are really crunched for space, don't pack anything that you can buy at your destination. Maybe you really don't need that 100 pack of diapers, 24 might suffice for the beginning of your travel.

The Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies presents Professor Robert Singleton discussing the impact of economic and environmental changes on African American and White communities.
What are some of the reasons behind the different impact of economic and environmental changes on African American and White communities? This presentation will describe some examples of the successful employment of Geographic Information Science (GIS) used as a tool to visualize, through spatial mapping, what is often invisible to the naked eye or hidden in confusing statistical tables and graphs.
When equipped with this evidence, activists are achieving increasing successes in their efforts to sway the opinions of many, often including recalcitrant judges and juries, about the existence of institutional and pernicious racism and their effect on economic inequality.
Robert Singleton is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at Loyola Marymount University.

Processing Electronic Transactions with a Payment Gateway
How to process credit cards securely and effortlessly!
A payment gateway makes it possible for your business to accept credit cards. In a nutshell, the gateway provides the tools and technology to securely process electronic payments between customers, merchants, and banks.
This option is attractive to merchants because it ensures that credit card details have been encrypted and are passed on securely from the customer to the merchant and then to the payment processor.
What key services can you expect from a well-established, trusted payment gateway?
Which Payment Gateway Does My Business Need?
➤ Find out which solutions are a perfect fit for your business.
➤ Call BankCard USA at 1-800-589-8200 to request a free quote for your own offline or online gateway.
➤ A virtual terminal – software that allows the customer to input their credit card information
➤ ACH/Electronic checks feature – the ability to transfer funds from customer's checking account directly to merchant's bank account
➤ Authentication of credit card or electronic check transactions
➤ SSL Security (Secure Socket Layer) – an industry standard in sending and receiving electronic transactions securely
➤ Encryption of credit card payment and personal data
➤ Payment authorization
➤ Reporting capabilities accessible via the Internet
➤ Experienced technical and administrative support
You'll want to select a reputable company with significant experience. Also, ask if there's a partnership with the most trusted companies in the credit card processing business when selecting the provider.
How a Payment Gateway is a "Win-Win" for Merchants and Customers
Customer experience is critical to your success. We all know that one bad circumstance can lead to negative reviews and loss of business. A benefit of using a payment gateway that many merchants don't always consider is that it's a simple way to improve a customer's experience.
Accepting credit card payments securely gives customers more options, obtains their trust and builds your positive reputation. Here are the benefits for both parties:
Accept payments from anywhere:
Customer benefit: The ability to make purchases regardless of where they live gives customers more choice when it comes to spending their money.
Merchant benefit: Accepting credit card payments from all over the world means more opportunities for sales.
★ Merchant Tip: Could you benefit from accepting payments on site in your local area or even around the world? Some companies also have a wide variety of options for credit card processing, including wireless and mobile for businesses on the go.
Convenience factor:
Customer benefit: It's quick and hassle-free to pay with a credit card, especially if it's an online payment.
Merchant benefit: Saves time waiting for a payment to arrive and then to clear. And, because the order and payment processing is very fast, merchants get their money sooner.
★ Merchant Tip: Do you have customers who make regular payments? Then you'll want a gateway that can be set up to handle recurring payments from credit cards or checking accounts.
Customer benefit: They feel confident buying from you, and this encourages them to become repeat customers and refer more business to you.
Merchant benefit: Protection against chargebacks, assurance that all data is securely transmitted and prevention of inventory loss from fraudulent transactions.
★ Merchant Tip: Nothing is more important in a gateway than top-notch security measures. Look for a company that guarantees 100% safe and secured online payment transaction.
2 of the biggest risks of processing credit cards manually instead of using a payment gateway.
Some businesses owners choose to process payments manually rather than electronically. This is often a cost-saving measure, but unless those merchants are diligent, they could be opening themselves up to increased risk and a less efficient business.
Monitoring that risk can be time-consuming which adds cost to the business. Without a gateway, merchants face serious challenges:
Uncertain security protection. There are many security issues to monitor when accepting credit cards. One of the costliest comes when you unknowingly process a credit card that has been reported lost or stolen—your business will inevitably incur chargebacks.
More overhead, less profits. Having more transactions is a good thing for businesses but without the automatic processing of credit cards, more manpower is needed to do the work. That eats into your profits. And if you're a business that ships products, it could also cause delays leading to inefficiency.
Protect yourself, your business and your customers with the added security and improved efficiency in processing payments electronically with a reputable payment gateway.
Questions to Ask When Reviewing
➜ What types of payment options will I be able to accept? Make sure you're not limited to just credit cards.
➜ Do you have built-in fraud prevention and detection tools to identify suspicious activity?
➜ Are you PCI compliant? All sensitive data should be stored in a PCI-compliant data center, never on your computer.
➜ How quickly will payments be deposited into my account? This should happen within days.
➜ Is live merchant support available 24/7? Be certain they have both technical and administrative support.
➜ Is it easy to integrate and use?
Note: Businesses are not all the same, so make sure your gateway offers the specific features your business needs as well as options for customization.

My office Aquarium
I've since added three more otocincluses (a total of 4 dwarf sucker mouth catfish), one peppered corydoras catfish, two glass shrimp, a japaness moss ball, and an anubis plant. The otos donot like the algae fishfood tablets and will eat only living algae, powdered Spirulina, and the very expensive aquatic driftwood I put in there. I've had one oto die of starvation because the snails ate all the living algae - hence, I've had to culled the snail population (that came with the aquarium grown plants) periodically to prevent the otos from starving. The glass shrimp are aggressive scavengers but will only eat living algae in a pinch. Glass shrimp will eat the fishfood tablets and the powdered Spirulina. When the glass shrimp eat the green powdered Spirulina you can see it in there intestinal tract (since they are transparent). The corydoras armoured catfish, the largest resident, will eat the fishfood tablets but is very shy (being the only one) and will not come out unless the lights are turned off and nobody is in my office area ( it can see and recognizes people outside the aquarium). The Amazon Swordplants leaves were pale and anemic until I added phosphate-nitrate based plant food tablets to the water (my initial choice of potash-iron based plantfood which was not enough). The aquatic plants appear to be greener and are now growing a bit since I switched from a regular 15w incandescent aquarium lightbulb to a brighter full spectrum 10w flourescent aquarium lightbulb, too. The aquarium light is controlled by a GE digital timer that is set to turn on the lights for 12 hours a day. This Aquarium also has a powered external carbon based filter to keep the water clean and a heater to keep the water at about 76 F degrees.

Re: My office Aquarium
One oto has died of starvation so I'm culling the snails on a regular basis now. I've added an airstone to provide more oxygen to the tank. With the added aeration/oxygent the fish are more active. I'm using the fish food tablets as snail bait to capture and remove the snails. The Phosphate-nitrate plant food has brought back the aquatic swordplants and kyoto grass back to life.

Re: My office Aquarium
For good feng shui - I've added one golden orange male guppy ( he looks like a goldfish). The peppered cory catfish is going nuts and uprooting the live aquatic plants ( hornwort, cambola) - this 5.5 gallon aquarium is too small for him.... the four midget sucker catfish(otos) are doing fine - the spirullina and 4 inch aeration airstone did the trick.

Definition/Scope: (FM 3-0) Direct every military operation toward a clearly defined, decisive, and attainable objective. The principle of objective drives all military activity. At the operational and tactical levels, objective ensures all actions contribute to the higher commander's end state. Objectives allow commanders to focus combat power on the most important tasks. Clearly stated objectives also promote individual initiative. These objectives clarify what subordinates need to accomplish by emphasizing the outcome rather than the method. Commanders should avoid actions that do not contribute directly to achieving the objectives. The purpose of military operations is to accomplish the military objectives that support achieving the conflict's overall political goals. OLD VERSION The physical object of the action taken (for example, a definite terrain feature, the seizure or holding of which is essential to the commander's plan, or the destruction of any enemy force without regard to terrain features). (2) The clearly defined, decisive, and attainable aims toward which every military operation should be directed.

It's about time a more concerted effort is being made to capture more of the storm run-off. Allowing…Read More billions of gallons of water to simply flow to the ocean, in an area that's always been desperate for fresh water, is unbelievable. Especially when the engineering and technology is available to produce catch basins along the various rivers that funnel all the rain water to the ocean every time we have a major rain storm.
Instead of throwing money away to construct the bullet train, how about using that money to create ways of saving rain water? An adequate supply of water in California, especially Southern California, in my opinion is much more important than the bullet train.

MICHAEL ZITTERMAN February 20, 2014 at 05:41 am
DEFINITION: A number of persons joining together for some…Read More common purpose.
TYPES OF UNIONS: Private and public
FACTS: Private and public unions negotiate with employers to obtain specific goals for those persons being represented.
Subjects for negotiations include wages, benefits, and working conditions.
If negotiations result in additional costs to an employer:
a.A private employer will absorbed those costs or will pass some or all to the customers.
b.A public employer will have its "rainy-day" funds reduced or will raise additional revenue from its taxpayers.
a.If a private employer absorbs additional negotiated costs, margins will be affected, which will reduce taxable income, which will cause a reduction in the value of the employer's business. If the employer passes on the additional costs to its customers, it would be inflationary and the customers would have less spendable funds for other expenditures, which may adversely affect the economics. In most instances of higher costs, those costs will be passed on to the customers.
b.If a public employer raises additional revenue from its taxpayers, the taxpayers will have less spendable funds and that may adversely affect the economics.
c.When a politician, economist, or anyone else calls for high-paying union jobs, they are implying that there be a shift of wealth from customers to the high-paying union jobs.

Reviews for Makeover Li'l Cheddar Meat Loaves(17)
Sort By :
These are wonderful! I've made them several times and always a hit! I do us 1lb lean ground beef just for the ease of buying the meat, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I also make these in a muffin tin. I've made them in a jumbo muffin tin (6 servings) and in a regular muffin in (12 servings). Perfect portions each time this way. Anyway you decide to make them, they are delish!
I added a bit of Worcestershire to the ketchup topping. My family loved it. My husband liked that it tasted like a cheeseburger instead of traditional meatloaf, something different.
My husband was craving meatloaf but so many recipes have so much fat. I found this recipe and he loved it! Ate 2 more slices for midnight snack and 2 more the next morning for breakfast. Good thing I made two! I was in a rush so I prepared with onion soup mix and omitted the additional seasoned salt and divided the recipe between two meatloaf pans rather than mini loaves. I also omitted the carrots only because I was out. Recipe was great without the carrots but next time I will add to up the "healthy content."
Re-vamped this original recipe myself quite awhile ago and no-one can tell the difference - I usually mix the meat: 1/2 super lean beef and 1/2 either the 99% FF ground turkey or ground chicken breast - works beautifully!!
I have made the original recipe and we actually prefer this one. It is more moist and it seems the flavor of the meat shines through more without so much sweet sauce. We really enjoyed it and will make this version again for sure.

Toproping, absolutely. Use you own quickdraws. But lowering off? These anchors are designed for precisely that. If they're worn, they need replacing. If they wear super quickly due to traffic, consider more approriate anchors. Lee (from safercliffs.org)
Well said, Lee. I think the original intent was that if the anchor looks like the one in the picture, consider using a bail biner to rap off. That is pretty scary worn, and I would hesitate even rapping off that.
Lee, lowering off vs. rap, lower off the anchors, all the dirt in your rope cuts like saw. Save the anchor and wear and tear on your rope and the anchors will last much longer, rap off. Some people are TOO lazy.
Gotta go with Lee here. The anchors shown here are specifically designed to be lowered off of - not rappeled from. Why else do you think there is a gate on the top? As Lee notes, if they wear super quickly due to traffic, consider other anchors (i.e. quicklinks/chain). Also, considering Lee signed his comment "from safercliffs.org" - a little research shows that "Safer Cliffs Australia is a non-profit voluntary organization of climbers who maintain the safety of rock climbing areas in Australia". I would say he is far from being part of the problem.... Edited to add: Regarding these anchors though - I do think a design flaw on Fixe's part was to design these anchors to be lowered off - but not design them to be more easily replaced. The hooks shown here though are an improvement over a style (also Fixe) that I saw in Owens River where the hook was connected to a welded ring requiring the whole setup to need to be replaced. See here www.mountainproject.com/v/california/sierra_eastside/bishop_>>>
That is right, they were designed for that. The anchor will LAST LONGER! if you rap off them. 1st time I climbed at Red Rocks NV, many of top anchors where just like the photo it was sickening. Just think about it, a climber rapping off vs lowering 100 to 200+ lb climber lowering through the the anchors over and over, vs. pulling a rope through, with all the dirt and gravel. And I do agree that a link, chain or ss ring, are better. I still rap off to save wear and tear on anchor, someone spent a lot of time and $$$ on anchors.
I think it's totally fine to toprope or lower from these things - as long as YOU are the one that will replace the anchors when they are worn - long before they get to this point. If not, just rappel - it's actually really easy and safe, there isn't a good reason not to. We can't forget that people die doing this sport.
Regardless, you should strive to rap whenever possible. It makes the anchors last a LOT longer, and your belayer can do other things.
Yes, rap off anchors. The problem with lowering and toproping off anchors should be obvious from the picture irregardless of what you think they were designed for. There is no one who carries the responsibility to replace these anchors even when they "should be replaced". They only get replaced out of the goodness of someone's heart. So, have a heart and don't abuse the anchors, and they will last longer.
@boulder irregardles is not a word.

August 3, 2012 - this is a very cool braclet...I use it for an anklet.It is well worth the money,but I wish they could have used real animal hair instead of cotton.I guess they use what they can get and helping Tibet in ant way is what it's all about plus you get a cool bracelet!!
June 14, 2012 - Very pretty, simple yet striking. Had to ignore the loop at the end where it's supposed to be fastened though as it's quite large, still looks great though and supporting a very important cause.

Thank you for reading DVD Catalyst Newsletter 32,
It has been a busy week this week for me. Of course the big news of this week is a new DVD Catalyst 4 update (4.1.2), which, aside for some bug-fixes and a few new profiles, introduced new screen resolution settings for the Amazon Kindle Fire and the Barnes & Noble NOOKcolor to enable you to make your movies as full-screen as possible. To show off the difference this makes, I also created some sample videos using the new settings, and, after 2 weeks of using it as my main entertainment device, I published a Kindle Fire review on my website.
Lets start with the tech news of this week:
The web is still milking the releases of the Kindle Fire and the NOOKtablet, but a few interesting things this week.
Asus Transformer Prime: Available for pre-order through a variety of different retailers, and a couple of websites already received units for review.
With the XBOX 360 selling nearly 800.000 units in 1 day (black friday), partially thanks to an upcoming update that adds TV functionality to it, Im wondering what Sony is up to. The Playstation 3 Firmware 4.00 is around the corner, which supposedly adds functionality in order to work better with the upcoming PSP Vita handheld, but since its Sony, I cant help but wonder what they have taken out/disabled in the PS3 this time.
There is also a lot of talk on the web about a spyware app called Carrier IQ, which supposedly monitors everything you do on an Android-based phone and then shares part of this information with your cell phone carrier.
DVD Catalyst News:
DVD Catalyst 4 v4.1.2
Last week, someone contacted me about full-screen videos on the Kindle Fire. Because of the small menu-bar that is displayed in most of the apps you run on the Kindle Fire, creating videos using the full resolution of the Kindle Fire results in black borders on the sides. So with some calculations and tests, I came up with settings that take the little menu bar into account for the video files, so it is possible to eliminate those black borders completely. Because the settings required a change in code in DVD Catalyst 4 to be able to use it, I released DVD Catalyst 4.1.2. Because a release for just a settings addition alone isnt enough, I also did the same (about time, I know) for the NOOKcolor. For the NOOKtablet, using the full screen resolution is fine, but because the NOOKcolor has a video-size limitation that is different from the screen resolution, custom settings also had to be created.
For full details on all this, have a look at the release notes for 4.1.2:
Tools4Movies Articles:
Together with the DVD Catalyst 4.1.2 release, I converted a couple of trailers using the different settings in order to show the difference.
Full-screen movies on the NOOKtablet:
This was easy. The NOOKtablet doesnt really care about the screen size of the video, and it doesnt have a menu bar at the bottom for everything you do, so the full screen resolution of the NOOKtablet can be used for video playback. During tests, I was able to have it play a 1920×1080-sized video file without any issues, but since the NOOKtablet doesnt have TV-out, there is no actual need to use video files of that size. The trailers show off the quality of videos on a NOOKtablet.
Full-screen movies on the Acer A100:
DVD Catalyst was the first conversion tool that actually took the permanent Honeycomb menu-bar into account. When the Xoom was first released, we actually picked one up, and found that if you use the actual specifications of the device for video files (which is basically what all other conversion tools do) you end up with black borders on the side of the video. By taking the menu-bar into account for the screen-size, DVD Catalyst 4 was capable of creating video files that made full-use of the available screen portion for video playback. Of course we did this for the 7″ tablets as well, but it wasnt as well-known, so we created some sample trailers to show people what the Acer A100 (and other 7″ Honeycomb devices) is actually capable of when it comes to video.
Full-screen movies on the NOOKcolor:
One of the additions to the 4.1.2 update of DVD Catalyst is a custom screen resolution for the NOOKcolor. With a screen size of 1024×600 and a maximum screen-size limit for video files of 854×480, you always end up with black borders on either the top/bottom or the sides. With the custom settings, it is now possible to create true full-screen video files for the NOOKcolor.
Full-screen movies for the Kindle Fire:
With the 4.1.2 update, DVD Catalyst is the first (only?) conversion tool on the market that can create full-screen video on the Kindle Fire. Similar as on Honeycomb tablets, the Kindle Fire has a small menu-bar that is permanently visible during video playback, which restricts the size of video files a bit. With this update, DVD Catalyst now takes this little bar into account, enabling you to watch your movies on the Kindle Fire without black borders.
Kindle Fire Review:
In last-weeks newsletter I already expressed my opinion towards reviews from popular websites that are mainly interested in Apple products. Now, after 2 weeks of using the Kindle Fire as my main entertainment device, I posted a review of my own. Aside from screenshots of the Kindle Fire that you have not seen before (unless you own one yourself), the review does not show any favoritism towards any Apple device or other product, well, maybe towards the Kindle Fire itself. Because of my limited use for tablets (mainly video, web and some software development), it really doesnt matter to me if the device is running Android, BBX/QNX, WebOS or has an Apple logo on it or not. If it plays videos, has a webbrowser of some sort and lets me put stuff on it of my own, it has my needs covered. A game here and there is nice but not a requirement for me. Since all the devices on the market pretty much have all I use covered, I dont have to fight with work-arounds (unless I create them myself). All I care about is if it does what I need it for, how it does that, and how big of a chunk it takes out of my bank account.
But, on a side-note, as much as I love the Kindle Fire, I did put it back in its box for now, and its sitting on a shelf. Rather than sitting in plain sight, tempting me, I have put it away, and am now starting with a run with the Barnes & Noble NOOKtablet. For 2 weeks, I have put a lot of time on the Kindle Fire, and now its time to find out how the NOOKtablet is holding up.
Problem DVDs:
Of course every week I get a few questions regarding DVDs that end up being a bit tricky. The DVD releases of this week were, similar as last week, quite disappointing, so all I got was 2 older ones.
Elf (2008) DVD
Electra (2005) DVD
Random Thoughts:
TV: As I mentioned in quite a few articles and newsletters on my website, I have a strong dislike (to put it mildly) towards the TV system. The darn commercials are what make things so bad.
Im bringing this up again, because thanks to Amazon Prime and the Kindle Fire, Ive stumbled upon Top Gear UK, and have been watching a couple of episodes a night. At first I didnt really pay much attention to it, but I noticed that I went to bed quite a bit later than usual. It happens every now and then when I get into a marathon-mode, but with Top Gear I was just watching 2-3 episodes at the most.
Then I realized what was happening. Because Top Gear is a BBC show from the UK, an hour-length show, without commercials, is about 55 minutes in length. When you watch an hour-show in the US, and cut out the commercials, you are looking at barely hitting 40 minutes. Watching 3 episodes of a US show is about the same as just 2 of one from the UK.
The reason for this is because the BBC is funded by a controversial TV Tax. You basically pay for a license for each TV, and that money is used to fund the BBC to create TV shows. A lot of people in the UK (well, most of them I guess) hate the idea of this tax, but I am quite sure that if they would be stuck with US TV for a couple of months, they would wish it was the same here. 40 minutes of TV shows, and 20 minutes of commercials that are mainly medical related, either meds themselves or lawyers trying to get rich by advertising a class-action-lawsuit.
Top Gear UK:
When I first started playing with the Kindle Fire, I noticed this show in Prime, so I gave it a go. It took a little to get into, but now with a couple of seasons under my belt, I love it. Aside from doing things with supercars that you dont see anywhere else, the challenges they do, the trips etc, it is quite entertaining. They recently started with a US version, which I have setup on the TiVo, but I havent gotten to that yet. I dont think they can put as much into the 40 minutes of TV time though. Maybe with a couple of car-commercials added in-between, it might appear to get to the 55 minute mark.
Rant @CBS:
The wife and I are into The Amazing Race which is the only show I actually watch on TV, and every time, it reminds me of the nightmare that is TV. We have the show set to record on the TiVo, but for some darn reason, 60 minutes, the show before The Amazing Race always extends for 20-30 minutes, which of course screws up the TiVo recording. When we start watching it, we end up having to fast-forward for half an hour, and of course we miss the ending as well. If you call a show 60 minutes, why cant they keep it within the 60 minutes, or did they not include the 20 minutes of commercials?
And that is all for this week. Today I will be putting some cabinets together and putting in some carpet tiles on the porch we turned into a room a few months ago, which should finish up that project. This weekend, I have quite some work planned for MovieGallery. As I mentioned earlier, the Kindle Fire is currently out of sight for me to give the NOOKtablet some dedicated attention, and last night I spent some quality time with it. Hopefully later this upcoming week Ill be able to write a proper review of the device (also without the common Apple favoritism found in most reviews of course).
Thanks again for taking the time to read my newsletter, and see you next week,

Internet Explorer and Firefox users trying to access the Wave website are now told the hosting servers for the service have been closed completely.
"You will no longer be able to get to your waves," says the status page.
However, Google has chosen – for the time being – to allow users of its own browser, Chrome, to access the read-only version of Google Wave. Google hasn't confirmed how much longer Chrome users would have this access.
The long wave goodbye began in August 2010, when Google announce plans to discontinue the project. Last November, the web giant had warned it would pull the plug on the project, telling Wave users they would be able to access the service in a read-only version only from January 31 through April 30 of this year.
Its read-only users could still export their waves using the PDF export feature, read existing waves, or export their waves to an open source project called Walkaround.
Google Wave was one of the company's first major social moves, before Buzz and Google+. Wave was Google's attempt to "rethink email" by allowing web users to collaborate and discuss ideas through a hosted conversation, rather than through multiple emails back and forth.
Google Wave launched as an invitation-only platform at the 2009 Google I/O conference. Wave proved popular with developers, but failed to generate much interest in the wider online market. Google VP Marissa Mayer once called Wave one of Google's biggest mistakes.

Price Paid: $9.99
I don't know how I lived without this. For years I lugged around a duel fuel lantern, the fuel, and all the required accessories. Now I carry a couple of these babies at home, backpacking, everywhere. Tea candles are 6 cents apiece and I've had them burn for as long as 4 hours and they have citronella. Put a metal coffee cup on top and keeps coffee warm.

Where everyone has a voice
Published: Feb. 3, 2011
Updated: Aug. 4, 2011
Speech pathologists in Duke Voice Care Center are trained to evaluate and treat voice problems in children.
This care guide covers the following topics related to pediatric voice problems:
Spend a few minutes on the playground and it will be easy to see (or hear) how susceptible children can be to acquiring voice disorders.
Most childhood voice problems result from phonotrauma (trauma related to how the voice is being used). Types of phonotrauma include incorrect yelling, shouting, excessive talking, or a harsh or strained vocal technique.
Voice problems are further impacted by other medical issues, such as allergies or reflux, that can intensify vocal symptoms. Vocal hygiene, such as hydration, can also positively and negatively influence the voice depending on how well a hygiene regimen is followed.
Typical problems resulting from phonotrauma include benign lesions (nodules, polyps, and cysts) and vocal strain (muscle tension dysphonia).
There are also voice problems occurring independently of how a child is using his or her voice. These can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired.
Serious medical conditions may require surgery, leading to a voice disorder, such as a unilateral or bilateral vocal fold paralysis due to a cardiac or thoracic surgery.
Other medical conditions, including papilloma, laryngomalacia, subglottic stenosis, glottic web, and velopharyngeal insufficiency (nasality) can affect vocal production, in addition to possible breathing and swallowing problems. These can result in long-term changes affecting the voice through childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood.
Children with voice problems may develop the following symptoms:
The evaluation for a pediatric voice problem is similar to that of adults, with a joint visit scheduled with the otolaryngologist (ENT) and the speech-language pathologist on the same day. This allows for a thorough medical evaluation and a complete voice evaluation.
The voice evaluation includes a parent interview to discuss concerns and vocal habits of the child.
In addition to typical questions about the onset of symptoms, the following observations are useful in diagnosing a voice problem and determining a treatment plan:
Depending on the situation, formal testing may include videolaryngostroboscopy or acoustic and aerodynamic measurements.
This determination will be made based on the nature of the symptoms, the need for visualization of the larynx as requested by the physician, and the child's age, but is not limited to these factors.
Additional details can be found on our appointments page.
Voice therapy is most appropriate for children at least four years of age (or a very mature three year old) so that they are able to follow directions and complete the exercises.
This is also the age when voice use becomes more important as they begin preparing for school or pre-school and socializing more with other children.
Regardless of age, the goal for therapy is to produce a clear voice with minimal effort. The specific activities, though, are catered to the individual and are age-appropriate to promote learning and improvement.
A standard course of treatment is eight sessions, with adjustments made for more or fewer sessions based on progress. Therapy focuses on education about healthy voice use, teaching vocal technique, rehabilitating damaged vocal folds due to benign lesions (like nodules or polyps), and reducing strain and effort with speaking.
Parents, siblings, and caregivers are included in the education portion to promote incorporation of strategies at home. Success in therapy depends upon a child's motivation and maturity and the family's level of participation and support.
The larynx changes shape and length with age, and the vocal folds mature into their distinct layers from birth through puberty.
Infancy through adolescence is when the larynx experiences the greatest change it will have as part of human development. Therefore, when vocal surgery is considered, careful thought is given to the best procedure and the optimal time for any surgery.
If there are more pressing medical issues, such as breathing or swallowing problems, surgical intervention is more likely to be recommended and necessary for the child to thrive.
Strategies you can implement to promote vocal health in your children include:

U.S. Department of Education Awards More than $35,000 to Help Baltimore County's Perry Hall High School and Community Recover from School Shooting
The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Safe and Healthy Students has awarded Perry Hall High School in Baltimore County, Md., a Project School Emergency Response to Violence (SERV) grant, totaling more than $35,000, to assist with ongoing recovery efforts following a school shooting in August—on the first day of school.
Project SERV grants provide critical support to districts that have experienced a significant traumatic event and need resources to respond, recover, and re-establish safe environments for students. The Office of Safe and Healthy Students has awarded more than $31.5 million to 105 grantees, including Perry Hall High School, since the grant program began in 2001.
"Senseless shootings disrupt the lives of students, schools and communities," U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said. "We hope these resources will help the learning process continue and support the community as it recovers."
On Monday, Aug. 27, 2012, a student fired a shotgun in the school cafeteria during lunch. The shot struck a student in the back. The student who was shot was sent by helicopter to a shock trauma center. The shooter was apprehended at the scene, tried and recently sentenced.
Information shared at the parent/community meeting and since the shooting indicates that parents and staff members remain concerned about the safety and security of the school setting and the capacity of the school to respond to a critical incident of this kind. Areas of need emerged since the shooting incident to help maintain safety and security, and to facilitate the recovery process necessary for teaching and learning. The Project SERV grant will help fund some of the much needed services.

very pleasant flat, cheap and near the main places of interest. Just one problem : the soundproofing of the door is really bad. And the flat is not so warm.

This apartment was in a great location with loads of bars and restaurants nearby, and not far to the city centre. It was cosy and private, and the staff gave us some hints and tips too! A great choice if you are staying in Lisbon and want a change from the usual hotel/hostel.

Combining Lexical Resources for Contextual Synonym Expansion
Date: 2009
Creator: Sinha, Ravi & Mihalcea, Rada, 1974-
Description: This paper discusses combining lexical resources for contextual synonym expansion. Abstract: In this paper, we experiment with the task of contextual synonym expansion, and compare the benefits of combining multiple lexical resources using both unsupervised and supervised approaches. Overall, the results obtained through the combination of several resources exceed the current state-of-the-art when selecting the best synonym for a given target word, and place second when selecting the top ten synonyms, thus demonstrating the usefulness of the approach.

Creator: Hassan, Samer & Mihalcea, Rada, 1974-
Description: This paper discusses cross-lingual semantic relatedness using encyclopedic knowledge. Abstract: In this paper, we address the task of cross-lingual semantic relatedness. We introduce a method that relies on the information extracted from Wikipedia, by exploiting the interlanguage links available between Wikipedia versions in multiple languages. Through experiments performed on several language pairs, we show that the method performs well, with a performance comparable to monolingual measures of relatedness.

Description: This paper discusses integrating knowledge for subjectivity sense labeling. Abstract: This paper introduces an integrative approach to automatic word sense subjectivity annotation. We use features that exploit the hierarchical structure and domain information in lexical resources such as WordNet, as well as other types of features that measure the similarity of glosses and the overlap among sets of semantically related words. Integrated in a machine learning framework, the entire set of features is found to give better results than any individual type of feature.

Description: This paper discusses learning to identify educational materials. Abstract: In this paper, we explore the task of automatically identifying educational materials, by classifying documents with respect to their educative value. Through experiments carried out on a data set of manually annotated documents, we show that the generally accepted notion of a learning object's "educativeness" is indeed a property that can be reliably assigned through automatic classification.

Creator: Mihalcea, Rada, 1974- & Strapparava, Carlo, 1962-
Description: This paper discusses explorations in the automatic recognition of deceptive language. Abstract: In this paper, we present initial experiments in the recognition of deceptive language. We introduce three data sets of true and lying texts collected for this purpose, and the authors show that automatic classification is a viable technique to distinguish between truth and falsehood as expressed in language. We also introduce a method for class-based feature analysis, which sheds some light on the features that are characteristic for deceptive text.

Linguistic Ethnography: Identifying Dominant Word Classes in Text
Date: March 2009
Creator: Pulman, Stephen & Mihalcea, Rada, 1974-
Description: This paper discusses linguistic ethnography. Abstract: In this paper, we propose a method for "linguistic ethnography" - a general mechanism for characterizing texts with respect to the dominance of certain classes of words. Using humor as a case study, the authors explore the automatic learning of salient word classes, including semantic classes (e.g., person, animal), psycholinguistic classes (e.g., tentative, cause), and affective load (e.g., anger, happiness). We measure the reliability of the derived word classes and their associated dominance scores by showing significant correlation across different corpora.

Maya: A Novel Block Encryption Function

Creator: Gomathisankaran, Mahadevan & Lee, Ruby Bei-Loh
Description: This paper discusses a novel block encryption function. Abstract: We propose a novel methodology to design Block Cipher functions. This methodology is illustrated with the design of a specific block cipher function Maya. Our design philosophy is to derive the S-Boxes themselves from the secret key. This makes breaking any round function equivalent to guessing all the key-bits. Advantages of our design include much larger key sizes in relation to the block size, an order of magnitude improvement in the hardware implementation efficiency together with the necessary resistance to cryptanalysis.

Non-Uniform Grid-Based Routing in Sensor Networks

Creator: Akl, Robert G.; Kadiyala, Priyanka & Haidar, Mohamad
Description: This paper discusses non-uniform grid-based routing in sensor networks. Abstract: A non-uniform grid-based coordinated routing design in wireless sensor networks is presented. The conditions leading to network partition and analysis of energy consumption that prolongs the network lifetime are studied. We implement routing in heavily populated sensor networks. By maintaining constant values for parameters such as path loss exponent, receiver sensitivity and transmit power, and varying between uniform and non-uniform grids, we observe energy consumption patters for each of the grid structures, and infer from the network lifetime the better suited grids for uniformly and randomly deployed sensor nodes.
