The past two Dodger games told us everything we need to know about this year's team and its all-but-imminent elimination from 2012 title contention.
On Tuesday, Los Angeles peppered San Diego with 14 baserunners while allowing only a single earned run — and still lost, 2-1. Two Dodger runners were thrown out between third at home and 11 others were left on base, while the Padres tallied their decisive second run on a throwing error by Dodger starting pitcher Josh Beckett.
On Wednesday came the kind of smashing performance the Dodgers expected to get on a regular basis following their mega-deal with Boston in August: an 8-2 victory, with Matt Kemp going 4 for 5 with a homer and four RBI, Adrian Gonzalez and Hanley Ramirez each knocking two hits and, for a touch of the life's-too-good absurd, even Nick Punto scoring four runs.
The mental beatdown Dodger fans have taken over the past several weeks is such that no one felt assured that the game was locked after the Dodgers took an 8-0 lead in the sixth inning. Since August 15, when they led the National League West by a game, the Dodgers have gone 15-22; Wednesday's victory was their first by at least three runs in more than a month. Injuries to Kemp, Chad Billingsley, Clayton Kershaw and others have been a big part of it, but so has a star-quality lineup that responded to the spotlight like Cindy Brady in her stage-fright episode of "The Brady Bunch."
The contrast with May, when an injury-ravaged, star-challenged Dodger squad actually gained ground in the division, couldn't be more stark. The 2012 Dodgers swam when they should have sank, then sank when they should have swam, or at least dog-paddled.
In a way, it's a pretty sensible result for 2012, a year that began — lest we forget — with clouds hovering over their title chances in general and team ownership in particular. This was not a year that began with high on-field expectations of any kind. Consequently, when rays of hope did emerge, we were all led to believe that we would be rewarded for our suffering.
And then, just like that, we were punished for our exultation.
Seven regular-season games remain for the Dodgers, starting with tonight's road finale in San Diego. Los Angeles won six of its first seven regular-season games this season — if they delivered a bookend 6-1 finish, they would still need St. Louis to go 2-4 just to manufacture a tie for the second wild-card playoff spot. What's weird is that this could happen, even though all things sensible tell us it won't — because if the 2012 Los Angeles Dodgers have been anything, they've been contrary.

What is globalization? Please list its advantages and disadvantages.
14 Answers | add yours
- Increased trade across national boundaries.
- One company having subsidiary companies and plants in many countries.
- One company procuring material required from multiple countries.
- One company selling its products in many different countries.
- Growth of joint ventures and technical collaborations between companies from different countries.
- Lowering of trade barriers and simplified import and export procedures.
- Greater employment opportunities for people.
- Availability of greater variety of goods and services to the consumers.
- More competitive price to the competitors.
- Ability of companies to achieve lower costs.
- Access to bigger markets to business firms.
- Faster and wider spread of new technologies across the world.
- Unrestricted globalization can hamper the development of less developed countries.
- Smaller firms may lack the resources to compete internationally and therefore may be forced out of business.
- Countries become increasingly dependent on other countries for meeting their needs for goods and services. This can become a major disadvantage in situations like war.
- Adverse economic condition in one country can escalate to other countries and may even adopt global proportion.
- Globalization may also lead to faster spread of infectious disease, for people animals and plants. Such infection may be carried through, people or goods.
Globalization is the process where the economies of various countries in the world become more and more connected to one another. In a globalized economy, people from one country can buy goods quite easily from other countries. Nowadays, people in one country can even buy services from other countries (because of the internet a company can have accountants in India, for example, do its taxes).
The main advantage (economists say) is that people get more goods and services for a cheaper price. Instead of having to buy something made in America, I can buy the same thing made in China, but cheaper. That's good for me. You can also say globalization helps countries like China get richer and eventually that will mean they'll buy more stuff from us (like computer programs and movies and such).
The disadvantage that most people see is that this means just about any job (in a rich country like ours) can end up getting sent to another country. So we have to compete with people who have way lower standards of living and can work for way less pay. This really annoys a lot of people in the US and that's why we have a lot of calls for less in the way of free trade.

Globalization is the process by which the economies of countries around the world become increasingly integrated over time. This integration occurs as technological advances expedite the trade of goods and services, the flow of capital, and the migration of people across international borders. Without a doubt, globalization has had a number of positive effects on nations and businesses around the world. Yet the concept—once regarded as almost universally positive—has undergone a bit of a reassessment in recent years.
"The plain truth is that market liberalization by itself does not lift all boats, and in some cases, it has caused severe damage to poor nations," the Business Week article admitted. "What's more, there's no point denying that multinationals have contributed to labor, environmental, and human rights abuses as they pursue profit around the globe."
Globalization gives companies access to wider markets and consumers access to a greater variety of goods and services. But the benefits of globalization are not always shared by all of the parties involved in trade. Unfortunately, developing countries—which need the potential benefits of globalization the most—are often the losers. "The downside of global capitalism is the disruption of whole societies, from financial meltdowns to practices by multinationals that would never be tolerated in the West," the Business Week article noted. "Industrialized countries have enacted all sorts of worker, consumer, and environmental safeguards since the turn of the century, and civil rights have a strong tradition. But the global economy is pretty much still in the robber-baron age."
The potential problems with globalization are not limited to developing nations, however. Some workers in advanced economies—particularly those in unskilled jobs and belonging to labor unions—feel that they are being increasingly displaced by low-wage competition in developing countries. Some of these workers are unable to make the transition to skilled jobs and service-oriented industries.

There are two major problems with globalisation. The first is the disconnect between the company and the state. Public companies have many owners (shareholders) from a number of countries whose focus is on the return on investment. This means that some decisions are made in the interests of the company that are at odds with the social or environmental needs of the countries they are located in. The so-called Monsanto seed Law which prohibits people in a number of countries collecting and storing seeds is but one example of this.
The second major problem is that of the tipping pont. in the past fourty years much of western manufacturing has been relocated to low-wage third world countries. The same issues that drove wages and conditions up in western economies- the demand for and retention of skilled labour and the employment competition that occurs as a consequence has seen wages and conditions rising in third world countries. In America in the last year wages and conditions in new employment are falling. As the developing economies move towards the establishment of conditions to create a large middle-class, the developed economies wages and conditions subside.

Globalization depends on who is answering the question and how you would apply the term. For many it is basically when all marketing, production and government are controlled by a central government.
All things would be equal for all people involved, prices, food available, medicine available, education, justice.
Things that you could loose: individuality; choice of food, education, work, medicine, justice.
An aristocracy would thrive.

Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world.Globalization is not new, though. For thousands of years, people—and, later, corporations—have been buying from and selling to each other in lands at great distances, such as through the famed Silk Road across Central Asia that connected China and Europe during the Middle Ages. Likewise, for centuries, people and corporations have invested in enterprises in other countries. In fact, many of the features of the current wave of globalization are similar to those prevailing before the outbreak of the First World War in 1914.

"The world is getting smaller" a term used very often to describe the modern world and globalisation. Economic growth has grasped the majority of countries including LEDC's
The difference between countries has dropped significantly allowing countries to rely on one another for each other's different industries some people argue that this is bad for LEDC's due to the exploitation from MEDC's through high tariffs on trade and the fall in prices for example the coffee trade to Europe and US. Migration is very important be it in their own countries or international it creates better opportunities for the workers and economically for the countries
The communication between countries grows with globalisation which creates better international networking and knowledge sharing, it allows for an international oversight on the economy and other aspects of development.
LEDC's do benefit from this reliance on other countries especially aid and loans for example per capita income in the poorest countries has doubled over the past 30 years. LEDC's also rely on the MEDC's to purchase or trade in the natural resources unfortunately this stops the rise in industry in LEDC's.
Although the lack of technology may seem like a bad thing, it does create opportunities for MEDC's or private companies to invest in LEDC's, resulting in LEDC's governments getting the technology they need, and an increase in jobs available.
Therefore globalisation and the ability for countries to work together does help the development in LEDC's despite the negatives.

You have to know what Globalisation is first to begin with. It is the integration around the world, it invoes trade and connects countries through that.
There are advantages of globalisation for example trade and investment increases within a country as you now have foreign money coming into your country economy. Accessabilty is another advantage: there will now be new modes of interaction and transportation therefore via the air of sea you now have a wider vairety if ways to transport or travel.
The main disadvantage is that because of globalisation, there will be cometitiona in prices between countries, this is because countries now have the same products or services and goods. This decreases trade and the competition is the prices, of course people would go for the prices that would not disstabalise their economy.
I hope this was helpful

The previous answers have covered most of what globalization is. Some additional aspects are that personal computers and the internet have boosted the easy connectivity of peoples throughout most of the globe. Thus, communication is almost instant.
Business and trade is now interconnected between commercial and individual concerns face to face through monitor screens via pc, smart phones, etc.
Social websites have created a global interconnect of meeting individuals, making friends, forming relationships that could develop into lasting relationships.
Honest communication between people on a global scale can break down prejudices and educate us that people throughout the globe pretty much have the same basic needs and goals.
Dishonest communication on the other hand can frustrate and lend to a lack of trust that is sad because you see just how much fraud is being promoted by selfish people. You wonder, "who can I trust?"
Glitches in technology, such as email that cannot be sent or received or viruses that dishonest people penetrate can be frustrating and sometimes cause one to think that we were better off not globally connected.
These are additional aspects of globalization in response to the original question.

The Vision Behind Freda Salvador's First Store
Originally published on CaliforniaHomeDesign.com
After three widely successful seasons of designing shoes, Freda Salvador finally has a San Francisco storefront to call its own.
The brainchild of friends Megan Papay and Cristina Palomo, they originally met as former designers at Anyi Lu and instantly bonded after working together. Now, they've created a brand that every women wants to wear–they are stylish on your feet and to showcase on your bookshelf. As you walk into their Union Street store, you're instantly in awe of the entire space–it makes you feel right at home. That's exactly what both of them wanted to achieve. We sat down with both Papay and Palomo to get the inside scoop on their design process and vision behind the store.
Did you always have a vision of opening your own store?
Yes! but we didn't necessarily plan on it being this soon. We were looking for a temporary pop up store for the holiday season and found our current space on Union Street. Once we walked in we knew we wanted it for keeps. It is the perfect space to house design, office and retail.

Have you been waiting for Prince Charming to come along and sweep you away? Do you feel empty and want someone to fix your self-esteem and make you feel pretty and smart? Dr. Robin says if you are looking for a rescuer, look no further than yourself. "It is so tempting to look for someone else to fix you, to fill your heart, to fill your soul and your mind," she says. "It is not someone else's job to fix that which is broken in you—it is your job."
Stop sitting on the sidelines thinking someone is going to come along and make your life full and complete, Dr. Robin says. If you let someone else be the source of your love and self-esteem, you can get hurt in the long run, she says. "If someone else fills those empty spaces, guess what? They can take back what they gave you," she says. Dr. Robin says you should evaluate your life and figure out what needs to be fixed. "Figure out what is it that is shattered," she says. "Is it your relationship? Is it your mind? Is it your own ability to see yourself as deserving and worthy?" Once you know what needs to be fixed, Dr. Robin says you should experiment with ways of rescuing yourself. Try getting together with friends and laugh and relax, or go somewhere quiet and reflect.

Mutual understanding
An international research team has shown that Asian and European honey bees can learn to understand one another\'s dance languages despite having evolved different forms of communication,.
The species of Apis honey bees found worldwide separated about 30-50 million years ago, and subsequently developed different dance \'languages\'. The content of the messages is similar, but the precise encoding of these languages differs between species.
"We know that the members of a honey bee colony routinely exchange information via dance about the location of newly discovered locations, like feeding places, water or new nesting sites," explains Dr Shaowu Zhang from the Research School of Biological Sciences at The Australian National University (ANU). "The scout bees perform the so-called 'bee dances' inside the nest. The co-ordinates of distant locations are encoded in the waggle phase of this ballet, with the direction and distance to the food source indicated by the orientation and duration of the dance. This duration differs across honey bee species, even if they fly the same distance in the same environment. It is these differences which we can think of as distinct languages."
The research team is the first to successfully study the behaviour of a colony containing a mixture of two different species of bees. One of the first findings of this novel approach was that Asian honey bees Apis cerana and European Apis mellifera, after some time of adjustment in the mixed colony, could share information and work together to gather food. Asian honey bees followed the dances of European forager bees, and deciphered the encoded information correctly.
"The dance language of honey bees is among the best studied communication systems in the animal kingdom. Nevertheless, surprises are still possible, as we have shown," Dr Zhang said. "This work has potentially major implications for our understanding of animal communication. Next we plan to study the extent of variation between different bee dance languages."

"Teen Mom" star Farrah Abraham is telling people she's not a party girl and she got a DUI last week because of an illness ... a little hard to swallow after looking at these pictures.
The photos were snapped in January at Halo Ultra Lounge in Omaha. The promoter tells TMZ, Halo was hosting a lingerie soiree ... and Farrah showed up with a bunch of slutty-looking girls, all wearing next to nothing.
Then the boozing started ... with Farrah guzzling straight from the bottle.
You'll recall, just one day after Farrah was arrested for DUI last week -- blowing nearly twice the legal limit -- Farrah tweeted, "It's amazing what people believe and make up!"
Farrah says the reason the breathalyzer registered a .147 is because she was coughing a lot and couldn't blow properly.
That's what she said.
The promoter tells TMZ, Halo was hosting a lingerie soiree ... and Farrah showed up with a bunch of slutty-looking girls, all wearing next to nothing.
so he hosts a lingerie night.then calls the girls who show up in lingerie slutty looking? uhhhhh okkkkkkkk they only wore what the host asked.
to be fair to her, she is being kissed, not doing the kissing- in fact she looks like she is trying to pull her face away...still, she is dressed in lingerie and holding a bottle of booze but a girl has to pay the bills right?
If coughing into a breathalyzer could falsely register a .15 BAC then every lawyer in the world would be using that excuse. "No no your honor. My client wasn't drunk. He just had bronchitis". I never thought she was smart, but she's absolutely brain dead if she thinks that's going to fly.
This uneducated, irresponsible airhead only behaves this way for attention. Way to give it, and make sure the idiotic stunts continue. You're only helping to glorify stupid and reckless behavior. Stop.
I think the girl that is with her is smiling because she's about to sell these pictures to TMZ. Cha-ching
If a promoter is hosting a lingerie party, he doesn't have any right to call some of the attendees "slutty-looking." It goes with the territory.
What a skank! How about you watch your daughter instead of going out getting wasted making out with other girls stupid bitch
Does the piece if trash still have her daughter? Instead if putting thousands of $ in making herself look better for the nightclubs she should be making a better life for herself and her child.

In Need of a Makeover? Click here and Let Gerard Bollei® Salon's Beauty Team Transform You.
Find out about our
Red Carpet Special Event Services
to make your look unforgettable!
Established in the sixties as the in-house salon of the Plaza Hotel, Gerard Bollei has been a fashionable place for decades. The salon even did hair and makeup for Truman Capote's glam Black and White Ball. In 1976, having grown too big for its gilded britches, the operation moved and expanded, putting down roots as one of the original tenants of the Galleria building on 57th Street. Bollei himself died in the eighties, but his legacy lives on in that same duplex space. Retaining plenty of seventies charm—Formica, rounded countertops, lots of taupe—the salon spans 5,600 square feet and employs a staff of 80, including nail, makeup, skin-care, and waxing experts. Hair gets the most attention, however, with 30 stylists and 25 color specialists, many with decades of experience, doling out custom cuts and colors to generations of clients. Society types, fashionistas, and a healthy smattering of celebrities have been loyal customers for decades, and bold names like Carolina Herrera and Leelee Sobieski are regulars. Hair-cutting stations bustle on weekends and it can seem like the whole 10022 ZIP code is getting coiffed at once. Yet a factory feel is avoided and clients always command lots of personal attention.

BMW 3 Series Convertible full 9 point review
There's a wide choice of engines and all provide plenty of power and pace – from the four-cylinder 320i to the V8-powered M3, which goes like a rocket. Elsewhere in the petrol range are the 325i (our favourite) and the six-cylinder 330i and 335i engines. The four-cylinder 320d diesel engine is a peach, while the six-cylinder diesels (325d and 330d) are even sweeter.
Ride & Handling
The Convertible's suspension is a little softer than the Coupe's, and the whole car is a lot heavier. This does change the ride-and-handling balance, and it's not quite as sharp. It still handles better than most rivals drop-tops, though, and maintains most of the responsiveness and feel expected of a 3 Series. The ride is rather firm, though.
Put the roof up, and you can see why BMW wanted a metal-roof coupe-cabriolet rather than a soft-top: the 3 Series convertible is as hushed and weatherproof as a saloon. Even with the car fully open (roof and windows down), it's acceptably draught- and din-free for anyone in the front seats, and road- and engine noise never become intrusive.
Buying & Owning
Prices aren't cheap and you won't get much of a discount, even if you buy online. However, strong residuals mean you'll get plenty back when you sell. Running costs are competitive, too. The engines are frugal despite their power, and low emissions keep company car tax bills down.
Quality & Reliability
Mechanically, BMWs rarely give trouble, so there's no need to fear problems. Owners rated the mechanical reliability of the 3 Series as average in the 2012 JD Power survey. Build quality - both the choice of materials and the way they are put together - is exemplary.
Safety & Security
A coupe-cabriolet is always going to provide a sterner test for thieves than a soft-top - one of the reasons why they are now so popular. Safety provisions are all you'd expect from BMW, with stability control, self-drying anti-lock brakes, two front airbags, big body-and-head side airbags and automatically activated rollover hoops fitted.
Behind The Wheel
The folding metal roof does wonders for visibility in the 3 Series convertible. Compared with a traditional cloth roof you can see more of what's behind. It's hard to fault the adjustability of the driving position or the control layout, too, which will include BMW's brilliant iDrive if you choose the sat-nav option.
Space & Practicality
No convertible is the last word in practicality, but the 3 Series doesn't do too badly. Yes, rear head and legroom are a little limited, but there's still enough room for four adults to travel in relative comfort. The boot is decent, if not huge, and the rear-seat backrests fold down to provide useful extra storage space. There's a through-hatch for skis and golf bags, too.
Every model has a healthy standard specification, including niceties such as automatic lights and wipers, electric seat adjustment, rear parking sensors and automatic air conditioning. However, there's plenty more you can add, such as leather trim that reflects much of the sun's heat.

That is interesting, I don't think Adsense has ever really "tanked" for us...it is always the same. Yahoo (usually) just pays more, but they do have bigger "play" with their daily/month revenues. I hope ours return to March totals, yet I have a feeling if ours returns, yours may decline. It's the see-saw effect!
I'm glad yours increased, but darn, that means there may not be a reason for our quick decline.

The James H. Heineman Vascular Center was established in 2002 at the Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute as a collaborative effort between The Sanger Clinic, Carolinas Medical Center and the Heineman Institute.
Our goal is to provide patients a single place to go for the evaluation, treatment and prevention of peripheral arterial and venous problems.
In this one location, we offer the services of vascular surgeons, vascular cardiologists, non-invasive vascular laboratory, diagnostic angiography, endovascular surgery and open surgery.
The philosophy of the physicians and staff of the Heineman Vascular Center is to provide the most effective and safest care to each patient through a multi-specialty and multi-modality approach.
The consolidated resources in the newly created James H. Heineman Vascular Center provide patients with fully integrated services for vascular diagnosis. This includes an outpatient ambulatory vascular care center and our non-invasive vascular laboratory.
The William W. Gainey Investigative Suite, a state-of-the-art angiography facility created within the Center, features an Integris angiography complex. The Center is close to the Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute's operating rooms where all "open" vascular procedures are performed. Such consolidation of services now allows a more efficient delivery of both diagnostic and interventional procedures and an increased opportunity to coordinate the expertise of cardiovascular specialists with different backgrounds.
Patient visits, including outpatients, non-invasive studies and angiographic studies, have steadily increased since the opening of the Vascular Center. The surgical caseload for the vascular service continues to grow, with more than 450 open surgical cases performed in the past year. Angiographic procedures are being performed by both vascular surgeons and by our vascular interventional cardiologist partners.
Our vascular service has also been active in research which has yielded numerous presentations and publications.
Vascular surgeons specialize in the care and treatment of all vessels outside the heart and brain. Our surgeons treat arteries that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to all areas of the body, as well as veins that return blood to the heart. This includes the aorta that feeds the abdomen and legs, and the carotid arteries that feed the brain, as well as many smaller vessels. Sanger's vascular surgeons can also treat wounds caused by the lack of blood supply to lower legs and feet.
Additionally, vascular surgeons perform minimally invasive treatment options where graft placement can substitute for conventional surgery in a much simpler procedure. The surgeon cuts a small opening to insert the device that carries the graft. This enables a shorter recovery time and less pain. Our surgeons can also perform diagnostic testing such as arteriography. The vascular surgery specialty remains focused on open procedures which we perform when indicated. Some of the conditions treated at the Heineman Vascular Center include:

Of the cities and towns we surveyed, these 5 are most in need of more outdoor recreation spaces, like pools, playgrounds and parks. No surprise: major cities with a dearth of space rank low on our list.

(Our list was compiled by using a list of the top 100 cities by population, adding in well-known smaller cities too, and removing cities so close to other large cities that they would have similar data. We ranked the best cities for recreation based on the amount of parkland per 100,000 people.)
Philadelphia, PA
Philly's got it covered when it comes to historical sites, but when it comes to park space per person, more room for kids to run around would be nice.

Rochester Police are reviewing an incident involving the arrest of a sister and brother and the video of which is circulating on the internet. Now another piece of video has surfaced showing more of the confrontation between Brenda Hardaway and Officer Lucas Krull.
When police were called to Seyle Terrace for the report of a fight Tuesday evening, a neighbor shot video of officers attempting to arrest Rome Hardaway, 16.
His sister Brenda then intervened. Police claim she pulled pepper spray on the officers.
As Officer Lucas Krull tried to arrest Brenda, who said she is pregnant, the struggle became physical. It was all caught on video and posted on the internet.
YNN received an additional 12 seconds of video that was not included in the original online video, where Brenda Hardaway allegedly tries to strike the officer.
"I was a little bit surprised that there was additional footage that wasn't necessarily put out there. In terms of what we're going to do is look at the totality of the circumstances, not just what's on tape or what's been deleted, but just look at the whole scenario then take all that information and make a conclusion based on our investigation," said Chief James Sheppard of the Rochester Police Department.
The United Christian Leadership Ministry says it's prepared to file a lawsuit against the City of Rochester and the Rochester Police Department, claiming Brenda Hardaway was physically assaulted by police.
"We have an attorney that's representing us, this is going farther. It's going all the way to the court system and we're looking for justice. We hope we find it but it's going higher, it's going to the courts and we're going to fight this," said Bishop Jerry McCullough, Faith Temple Apostolic Church.
Clergy members say police disrespecting African-Americans has been going on for years in the Rochester community and they're calling for a dialogue with the chief and mayor.
Mayor Tom Richards says he's open to the idea and Sheppard says he already met with some of those ministers early Thursday afternoon.
"Hopefully I'll be able to meet with some of the others a little bit later and hopefully we can come to some understanding at least in terms of getting to the bottom of it," Sheppard said.
The Rochester chapter of the NAACP says it has concerns that the Rochester Police Department is out of hand and Sheppard has failed to control his officers.
"I would like that we meet with the mayor to go over as far as removing Chief Sheppard. If Chief Sheppard cannot control his officers, then we need to put somebody there who could," said Edward Goolsby, NAACP.
Richards says that won't happen, as Sheppard has his support.
"He runs a force of 740-some people and he does a good job at it, and I don't think anybody can say this is a gentleman who has not made himself available in the community and has worked hard on community relations," said Richards, D-Rochester.
The ministers are calling for Brenda Hardaway to be released from jail immediately and charges against her dropped. Otherwise, they are prepared to march on City Hall.

The high-yield corporate bond market has continued to rally in 2012, producing a 12% total return through the first three quarters. Over the past three years, the market has produced an average total return of 12.5% per year. Over that time period, yields on 10-year B-rated bonds have declined from around 9% to around 6.5%. Today, yields in the 5.5% to 6.5% range for BB- and B-rated 10-year issues are at or near record lows—50 to 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) lower than the previous record lows reached from 2005 to 2006.
This exceptional performance has been sustained by record inflows to high-yield mutual funds. In a low-yield world, investors seeking even a moderate amount of interest income have been drawn to high-yield mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Because those inflows have been so strong, record volumes of new high-yield issues have been absorbed at exceptionally low yields.
Veteran observers of the high-yield markets have begun to express concerns about these and several other recent developments they regard as symptomatic of a frothy market. Contrarians regard investors chasing rallies as a warning that the rally is in its late stages. In addition, because demand is so strong, issuers have begun structuring new deals that expose investors to additional risks. For example, deals are being structured without the traditional bond covenants that prevent the company from issuing additional debt that would be senior in the capital structure—that is, companies could issue new debt that jumps ahead in line when it comes to getting paid. Several recent deals have included payment-in-kind bonds, sometimes called "PIK-bonds," giving the company the option of making interest and principal payments with new bonds rather than cash. In previous cycles, bonds with these structures performed very poorly once the rally ended.
It is important to note, however, that two of the most reliable signs of trouble ahead are not in negative territory. Yield spreads to Treasuries are still quite generous, and default rates are still very low. Some observers worry that current spreads to Treasuries are no wider than the averages of the past 10 years. For example, the average spread for 10-year B issues is approximately 485 basis points, very close to the current spread. Those averages, however, are distorted by the explosion in spreads in 2007 and 2008. Without these extreme spreads, that average drops to around 400 basis points, or 75 basis points below the current spread.
A better comparison would be to the spreads reached in the most recent high-yield rally that lasted from 2004 into 2007. Because Treasury yields today are far lower than in 2005 and 2006, spreads to Treasuries are much wider now. For example, for 10-year maturities, spreads to Treasuries for BB and B credits are now approximately 425 basis points and 475 basis points, respectively. From 2004 to mid-2007, these spreads were 150 to 200 basis points narrower. There is, therefore, still considerable room for spreads to narrow from current levels before they would indicate heightened risk in the high-yield market.
Default rates also appear nonthreatening to the market. The Moody's trailing 12-month default rate is now 3%, up from 1.8% a year ago but well below the long-term average of 4.8%. Moreover, spreads to Treasuries in past cycles were typically below current spreads and didn't widen until the default rate moved above 6%. It would appear, therefore, that the pace of defaults is not warning of an end to the high-yield rally.
The unusual nature of this interest rate cycle is also important to the outlook for high-yield bonds. This cyclical recovery has been so much weaker than recoveries in past cycles that short-term rates are expected to stay low much longer than they did in earlier cycles. Those low short-term rates would be expected to help keep bond yields from moving sharply above current levels. The experience of 2004 to 2006 shows that bond yields can remain at or near cycle lows for long periods of time. While the high-yield market exhibited considerable volatility over those three years, it produced average annual returns of 8.3%. It was not until the onset of the financial crisis in 2007 that returns deteriorated.
Past cyclical experience also suggests that for high yield, recessions are much greater threats than periods of rising interest rates. Recessions bring financial stress and rising default rates, widening credit spreads, and poor returns from high-yield bonds. Currently, almost all leading indicators of economic activity are signaling continued moderate growth, not a recession, for the foreseeable future.

My phone won't receive text messages but can send them. It can also receive picture messages sometimes. Help???
Hello BEEPBOOPBOB,
I know texting is an important form of communication. What type of device do you have? Before I suggest other things, have you removed your battery and powered back up and retested?
Hello Ephillips72311,
I understand your concern about messaging with your fiance. I can definitely assist you, but would need some additional information. I will be sending you a private message, so if this issue is still occurring, I would like to ask that you please reply to the private message with the information requested.
Thank you!

I am havin the same problem for the past week, I can send texts but cant receive them. I did the factor restart took the battery out but still can't get texts.

Good Morning, arizonaangel96!
If you continue to have issues with your texting, please contact us directly to resolve the issue. You can PM me with your name and mobile number or click
I am having the same issue and it started right after I left the Verizon store at the Forum. Can anyone help me?
Ugh, I am having the same problem. All day today I have not recieved any of the 'incoming' messages however I am able to send texts out, send and receive calls. Can anyone help me? I have the Samsung SCH-u370.
I got a text message saying the following: "Message size: 30 KB Expires Apri 5, 10:47 pm" Then there are two options "Download" and "Reject". If I click Download, the message says "Downloading" but then I get a message saying "Text message not received" This happened 3 times! The messages are from another verizon user and she told me that she was trying to send me pictures she had taken with her Verizon iPhone. Can anyone tell me what is happening with this? I have a Droid Razr and I am well below my monthly quota for minutes, data, etc.
Hi skababy,
I feel your pain; no incoming message can be very inconvenient. Try clearing all your messages from your inbox (delete all current messages), as this has resolved similar issues for others.
Also, reprogram you phone by dialing *228 option 1, then power phone Off/On and test.
If issue continues do a factory reset:
1. From a Home screen, touch Menu ➔ Settings &
Tools ➔ Phone Settings ➔ Security.
Enter the lock code when prompted. The default lock code is the last four digits of your telephone number.
2. Touch Restore Phone.
3. At the prompt, touch Yes to reset and restore default settings, or No to return to the Security menu.
Note: A factory reset will return your phone to the default settings and permanently erase all user data, including pictures, videos, music, messages, contacts and downloaded applications stored on the phone. Back up your information and media before performing this troubleshooting step.
If issues continue after completing the above troubleshooting steps, send me a direct message and I'll reach out to your to further assist you.

I also cannot receive text messages since around March 30th. I know people are sending them, but I'm not receiving them. I even checked my text message usage on Verizon's site, and it doesn't show that I've received any texts, just shows that I'm sending them.
I've deleted around 200 texts, and reprogrammed my phone, reset it, pulled the battery, but still didn't fix it.
I don't really want to do a factory reset unless absolutely necessary.
Seems to be happening to several people recently. What changed?
I am also having the same problem - for the FOURTH time since January. 3 times with my phone - Samsung Sch-U370 and once with my daughter's phone - Samsung Reality (pretty much the same phone). I have contacted Verizon Tech support all 4 times. I've had my memory wiped clean, restarted, etc. The only thing that resolved the issue was when Verizon took my phone off the network completely. But, obviously, that was only a temporary fix, since this is happening AGAIN!!!!!! And, now they tell me I have to wait 72 hours to get help. Cannot receive texts, but I can send them.
I have never had a problem in the 10 years I have had Verizon, but now I am ready to switch to another service. This is ridiculous!!
I'm having problems for the second time. Now my girlfriend is the only person who cant send me a text message. Every time she tries to text me, it says message failed but i can send her one. She has Verizon too and everyone else who texts me has no problems and neither do I. This is becoming very irritating and it would be nice to have this problem solved soon.
I am having this issue today, I have tried everything. 228, pull battery, settings to no avail. I need serious help.
I recently switch my iPhone 5 to Verizon. Now I am not getting any messages from other iPhone users. I get them on my iPad, but not as texts on my phone. Non iPhone texts seem to be fine

Do you have iMessage turned on on the phone?
I have the same issue I have the LG Cosmo II and I don't get any texts anymore for the past 1-2 weeks. I did what it said to clear it out with the factory boot, I also took the battery out. Nothing seems to work please help me!
I have had the IPhone5 for over a month, and have had sporadic issues sending texts..... and its to other Verizon members, who have IPhone5, old flip phones, and droids. They get some but not others and I have no idea when they do or dont get them. VERY frustrating. I have one I just b/c she said she hadnt gotten anything from me so I sent her a screen shot of all the texts. She GOT the screen shot, but no other texts...... not even my response to her saying she got the screen shot.
What the heck? I have been with Verizon for 20 years, no issues, been waiting for Iphone, love it... this may be the reason I switch carriers?

Quilters express gratitude to needy veterans
Published on Wed, Sep 9, 2009 by
Lorri Gilchrist
Read More
_ The Rebellion Dogs Quilt Guild is making "Gratitude Quilts" to thank local in-need veterans for their past and present service and sacrifice for our country. The guild meets at 6:30 p.m. the first and third Mondays at the Clallam County Veterans Center at 216 S. Francis St., Port Angeles.
Quilters of all skill levels are welcome. The guild is asking for donations - money, fabric, thread, and quilting supplies. It also would like the names of veterans who deserve a quilt. Call JoAnn Vickery at 360-461-0506 for more information.
_ In an earlier column, I told you about Sarge's Place, veterans transitional housing in Forks. Many government and service organizations are working to make this housing a reality.
I am asking you to help, also. Please consider their remodeling and furnishing needs when you do your fall cleaning.
There will be eight beds for men, four for women, three two-bedroom units for families and one unit for the veteran caretaker - all must be furnished. I have a long list of needed items, or you can e-mail Cheri Fleck at email@example.com.
_ Friday is the anniversary of 9/11. A good way to show support for first responders, the military, pride in our country and that we have not forgotten those who perished would be to fly the United States flag. Let's have flags everywhere on Friday.
_ Sept. 16 is American Legion Day. On that date in 1919, Congress chartered the American Legion. This will trigger a three-month "Legiontown USA" campaign to recognize communities where posts play an important role.
Post 62 in Sequim observes Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, participates in the Irrigation Festival Parade, sends "citizens" to Evergreen Boys and Girls State, supports the Sailor of the Quarter program for the USCGC Swordfish and helps with the Washington State Veterans Home in Retsil's Christmas Gift Shop.
The post is on South Sequim Avenue and Prairie Street. Meetings start at 7 p.m. the second Thursday of the month.
_ Operation Comfort Warriors has been mentioned in this column before. Service members recovering at military hospitals get world-class medical care, but they do not always receive comfort items to help pass the time, such as music players, CDs, DVDs and games.
Troops who have lost limbs also appreciate soft sweat suits and other loose clothing to wear during recovery.
If you would like to contribute to getting troops comfort items, send a donation to Operation Comfort Warriors, P.O. Box 1055, Indianapolis, IN 46206.
_ Once again, the local Marine Corps League is being honored - James and Rachel Graham received the Four Chaplains Award from National Headquarters for their aid to the Homeless Veterans Program; the detachment received the Meritorious Unit Commendation from the Washington State League; Detachment Commander Tom Flanik, Past Commander Jake Fish, Washington State Veteran of the Year Tom McKeown and detachment member Terry Roth all were awarded Distinguished Citizen Awards for their service to the community. Congratulations to all.
_ While you are out shopping, check the sale aisles. I have seen last year's toys on sale. Please get a few for the Marine Corps' Toys For Tots program that will start after Thanksgiving.

- Search Find-a-Grave or post extra info there. Find-a-Grave is frequently my go-to source for "possible" birth and death dates, as well as "hints" on family relationships. I double-check everything, especially info that isn't accompanied by a photo of the gravestone, because after all, anybody can transcribe incorrectly. But this is good jumping-off info for other searches and has helped me connect relatives in several cases. I also give back by posting extra info when I locate a family member on the site. See my extra info for James Edgar Wood, above. The write-up and photo took me more than 10 min but less than 15, but if cousins go looking for our ancestor, they'll find him and me!
- Search for brick-wall ancestors in new or updated Family Search collections. So many updates are being posted to Family Search that it pays to check back every now and again. Also, being occasionally less than methodical, I've discovered document images on Family Search that I never noticed were there before, like marriage records or death certs.
- Check my "to do list" on my personalized home page of Ancestry to see what I'm still trying to find out after all these years. Once I learned how to personalize the home page, I immediately posted a listing of "most wanted" ancestors for myself, along with what I want to know. If I have a spare few minutes, I check this list and challenge myself to be creative in doing a search I've never done before. These are very elusive ancestors, however, so no luck just yet. Oh, it helps to personalize some frequently-used links on the home page, too, so I can skip directly to those databases.

Vintage Halloween Photos Creepy Enough For David Lynch
Originally published on Wed May 23, 2012 10:18 am
A delightfully dreadful little book recently found its way to my desk. Its black cover is adorned only by a photo of a skeleton and a plain gray title, Haunted Air.
The inside offers little context for dozens of anonymous, vintage Halloween photos, dating between 1875 and 1955. The photos in Haunted Air, released in the U.S. this month, come from the personal collection of Ossian Brown, a British musician and artist. And I was both surprised and not surprised to discover that David Lynch wrote the book's introduction. Random, but completely appropriate.
Beyond that, there's not much more to say. Though I do wonder: What is it that makes these photos so creepy? In some cases, it's the memory of America's nightmarish racism apparent in the costumes. In other cases, maybe it's just the primitive, handmade quality of the masks, or the medium of crusty black-and-white photography.
We want to see your creepy Halloween photos. Upload your vintage vignettes here.
