Viewers have been complaining almost since people first had TVs at home.
Since the 1960s, consumers have been complaining about loud TV commercials.
Finally, Congress and broadcasters seem to be paying attention (maybe consumers should have bought some loud commercials themselves?). Legislation filed two years ago by Rep. Anna Eshoo, a Democrat from California, may come to a House vote as early as this week.
It only took 45 years of consumer complaints, according to Consumers Union.
One reader said she even removes her diamond ring before entering the store.
When you shop at thrift stores, do you feel guilt for depriving poorer folks of the items you purchased at bargain-basement prices?
Julia at Bargain Babe confessed that she does. She's felt bad about "sucking up a limited resource," she wrote. "I can afford to pay more for clothes," her thinking goes. "Therefore I should, leaving the Salvation Army and Goodwill selection to the poor."
Most readers advised her to get over it, and at least one thought Julia had lost her lid -- "You cannot be serious about this question," Mimi said -- but others understood exactly what she was talking about.
We're negotiating all the time, so why not learn how to do it effectively?
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
In May, I wrote about how to negotiate your salary. I argued that following the advice in Jack Chapman's "Negotiating Your Salary: How to Make $1,000 a Minute" is one of the best ways to improve your financial well-being. I still believe it. If you're looking for work or looking for a raise, you should absolutely read his book.
But negotiation is a skill you can use in other parts of your life, too. In fact, in "You Can Negotiate Anything," Herb Cohen says that we negotiate constantly with our spouses, our children, our parents, our co-workers, and our friends.
The 3 crucial variables
In every negotiation, Cohen says, there are three crucial variables: power, time, and information.
California homeowners find strategic default and becoming renters the new American dream.
Is defaulting on your underwater mortgage and then renting a better house for less money the new American dream?
The Wall Street Journal this week wrote about several families in California who did just that and are happier for it.
"It's just a better life. It really is," says Shana Richey, a schoolteacher who gave up on a house in Palmdale, Calif., that had declined more than 50% in value since she and her husband bought it in 2004.
The people in the Snuggies marketing department are evil geniuses.
This guest post comes from Andrea at Fools and Sages.
They're everywhere!
Last year when the Snuggie commercial came out, it was just another silly product with a fun commercial -- although not nearly as fun as the ShamWow. When a parody went viral on YouTube, I was laughing along with everyone else. And when my neighbor admitted to actually owning one, I patted her on the arm and told her how much I appreciate her as a constant source of amusement.
Free Christmas songs for iTunes and Amazon, plus a free poinsettia.
It's time for Friday freebies and food deals, but the deal makers seem to be settling down for a long winter's nap, or at least a holiday hiatus. Some of last week's deals are still good.
To make up for the lack of free food, we've found you some free music, free kids' craft workshops, a free poinsettia and even a free bus trip.
Our blogger is hooked on hoofing it. She's saving money, too.
I've always liked walking to a nearby market or to the library. For the past three years there's been plenty of walking on the university campus. But I used the bus, too, and sometimes I even drove my car on errands. Back then, I was still in control.
But you can find great deals on magazines, computers, jeans and travel to Mexico.
This Deal of the Day is from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Visit your e-mail inbox this time of year, and it's easy to think you're being stalked by every retailer in the mall. Depending on how you handle the influx, those e-mails can be your best bargain or your worst budget-buster.
Looking back over the past week, I've received roughly 50 e-mails a day in my personal account touting sales and deals, including a few travel and shopping newsletters. Yet I pulled out my credit card for just one: a $300 Calphalon pan set. They're on sale for $80 through Dec. 13, and I wanted to replace the warped hand-me-downs I've been using since college. Minus a $42 leftover gift certificate balance from last Christmas, I got them for $38 -- an 87% discount.

Indianapolis —
Triton Central Middle School teacher Lori Diehl finished her "Black Friday" Christmas shopping early Friday morning, then returned to her van to head for home.
The Decatur County resident had made stops at K-Mart, Kohls and Menards in Indianapolis Friday, purchasing presents for her husband Matt and their three young children.
But when Lori returned to her vehicle, she received a shock: every last item she had purchased was gone.
Thieves had broken into the Diehl's van while Lori shopped at Mendards, taking everything Lori had spent the morning acquiring.
An exasperated Lori notified Menards management of the break-in, then she contacted police who told her there was little they could do.
Finally she called her husband Matt, the extremely popular South Decatur High School Choir Director, who had stayed home with the couple's children while Lori had shopped.
As Matt heard the news of the break-in, he became more disheartened than perhaps he ever had.
"I lost a lot of faith," said Matt upon hearing the news their family had been robbed.
Friday morning's theft was another tough blow in a year that has proven itself difficult for Matt and Lori.
Matt was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and has temporarily taken leave from his job at SDHS in order to undergo treatment. Lori has been on maternity leave after giving birth to their youngest child four months ago, and with two other very young children in the home (age three and a half years and 20-months respectively), money has been tight for the family.
In order to help brighten Matt and Lori's Christmas, friends and family had purchased gift cards from various retailers. Those donations, coupled with Lori's careful "Black Friday" shopping plan, were aimed at making the best of a difficult year and providing the best possible Christmas within the Diehl's limited budget.
Friday morning's theft changed all of that.
Matt estimated that approximately $500 worth of items were stolen from the Diehl's van, not including Lori's breast pump which was valued at about $400. The latter item has been a necessity with a new baby in the home, and the pump was the only piece of stolen merchandise the Diehl's could scarcely afford to do without.
But just when Matt and Lori felt they had finally had enough in a year that would likely test the faith and patience of nearly anyone, a wealth of kindness sprang forth from some very unlikely places.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) Officer investigating the theft at Menards, Lisa Weilhamer, was compassionate and understanding of the Diehl's plight — so much so that she, herself a mother — gave the Diehl family a breast pump she owned. Officer Weilhamer even delivered the much-needed item to Lori in person and told the family they could keep it as long as was necessary.
"We can't thank her enough for being willing to do that for perfect strangers, in a crisis situation," Matt told the Daily News. "It was a huge blessing for us."
Indianapolis television news stations caught wind of Friday morning's theft and featured the Diehl family in televised stories throughout the weekend.
One viewer, Indianapolis Colts center Mike McGlynn, immediately took an interest in the story. McGlynn and his wife paid to replace all of the Diehl's stolen items.
"It was a really unexpected thing," said Matt. "It was another of those moments that kind of picked up our confidence in humanity."
But McGlynn wasn't finished.
Immediately following Indianapolis' victory over the Buffalo Bills Sunday, the Diehls received a phone call from McGlynn who told Matt and Lori Colts players are thinking about them and praying for them. McGlynn even took time to speak with the Diehl's oldest son.
"We hoped this win would lift up your spirits," McGlynn told Matt and Lori Sunday.
And the news keeps getting better.
Matt just finished his 12th chemotherapy treatment. He'll return to the hospital for tests soon and should know by Christmas whether or not he'll be well enough to return to South Decatur High School in January, which has been his target date to return to work for some time.
"It's a long road and there are always setbacks, but that's definitely been a focal point for us — to get back in January," Matt said Monday.
With Friday's unfortunate circumstances having become a sort of blessing in disguise, Matt and Lori now find themselves thankful.
"That was just a really special thing for us," said Matt. "We haven't expected anybody to do anything for us."
Matt mentioned his appreciation for the help received through students and faculty of SDHS as well as many others who've been there for the Diehls to "lean on" during tough times.
"It's been very humbling and just a huge blessing," said Matt.
With their fortunes slowly turning, the Diehls now hope they can learn from this experience, one day returning the favor.
"We want to be able to give back when we're able," said Matt. "This can be a great lesson for our kids."

If you've had a hard time getting through on the phone to the state's unemployment office, you're not alone.
Claims have spiked in January, and that's leaving callers getting messages that no one can help them because of high call volume.
Tennessee Department of Labor spokesman Jeff Hentschel said claims always increase in January because more people lose their jobs when construction slows and retail workers are laid off.
"Normally we get 6,000 new claims each week and we are getting double that amount right now," Hentschel said.
The inability to get through is especially hard on families with children.
Jack Kapanka and his wife have four children. He was laid off from his job at Bethel University in October.
"Every time I called, I could never get through," Kapanka said.
"With four kids, it's a tough existence right now," he said.
Kapanka wondered why the Department of Labor can't hire seasonal workers to take calls, when they know there's a high volume every January.
"They could get seasonal workers, if they know this influx of calls is coming in. You need to man those phones cause there's a lot of people out there hurting," Kapanka said.
Hentschel said they can't do that because of federal guidelines and because every claims agent requires a long period of training.
The department has been steadily increasing its work force and its phone lines since the recession began, he said.
"In 2009, we had around 75 people answering around 200 phone lines. Now we have 200 people answering a queue of 600 phone lines," Hentschel said.
The Department of Labor is hiring 65 new workers, but it will be some time before they're ready to man the phone lines.
Hentschel said there is no silver bullet. The state is looking toward technology to handle claims faster. Claims can now be taken online. In the future, he hopes the state can develop an app for smartphones, but he said that is not in the immediate future.
Hentschel said people filing claims should have a realistic idea of how long it takes to start getting a check. Before the recession, it could be 21 days or less. These days, he said, it can be six or seven weeks.
The Department of Labor has created a series of videos that help walk people through the claims process.

It was not that long ago Johnny Giavotella was playing baseball for the University of New Orleans, part of a team that earned an NCAA Tournament berth for the second straight year.
Then June 5, the second baseman was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the second round of the amateur draft. Just eight days later, Giavotella made his professional debut, picking up a hit June 13 in the Bees' game at Peoria.
"It's a fantastic feeling," Giavotella said. "It's something that you dream about growing up, being a Little Leaguer. To finally have it happen, it's a dream come true."
Giavotella ended his collegiate career by hitting .354 his junior season. He is eighth in school history with a .363 career average and is tied for fourth with 32 home runs.
As a sophomore, Giavotella was a third-team All-American after hitting .385 with 15 home runs and 65 RBI.
The 5-foot-8, 185-pound Louisiana native has taken well to his new surroundings.
With his 2-for-3 night Saturday, Giavotella upped his average to .260. He has four RBI.
"The competition is definitely a lot better," said Giavotella about the difference between college and professional baseball. "Everybody is a great ball player. It's just fun competing against top quality guys that know how to play the game well."
Giavotella has seen a lot since joining the Bees just before the Midwest League All-Star break. In his first three games with the team, the Bees won, lost and ended a game in a tie. The team then started the second half by winning four of its first five games. That was followed by a three-game losing streak. And now, the Bees have won two straight against the Timber Rattlers.
No matter the results of games, Giavotella is having the time of his life.

3.86/5 rDev +11.6%
Had this beer on board the SP Leipzig a steamship on the Elbe River. It comes as a dark brown almost black with a nice three finger head that lasts all the way with nice lacing in the glass.
It smells of dark roasted malts with a hint of coffee but that may have been because the other passengers were having their afternoon coffee and kuchen and the whole galley smelled of coffee. This beer tastes of dark roasted malts with a hint of sweetness at first. It has a full body that goes down well although it does finish a bit bitter and dry. A nice beer to have with a meal.

3.43/5 rDev -0.9%
A: Dark brown/ruby with a dark tan head.
S: Caramel, very faint hint of smoke.
T: Caramel and a hint of smoke. Almost no bitterness, and a short after taste of honey and caramelised sugar. Not fizzy, almost flat, no trace of alcohol in the taste. This weaker kind of beer is predominately weaker kinds of strong euro lager. Some of the czek brands brewed for the swedish market and some swedish brands imitating weissbier, ale and porter are quite nice, but still substitutes and not the real thing. Good if you try to keep an eye on that waist line or your consumption of alcoholic beverages.

4.03/5 rDev +16.5%
A: Very dark red / brown. Barely opaque.
S: No strong smell. Very clean.
T: First is an odd, perhaps hoppy character that is not bad at all, just odd. Next the malt washes that away and you are left with a nice smoky presence.
MF: Great for a lager.
D: Very much. A great example that is not at all a cookie-cutter schwarzbier.

Appearance: Very dark brown, almost black; huge cream colored head
Aroma: Roasted malt; dried fruit; hint of molasses
Taste: Juicy roasted malt start; slightly bitter mid; watery, smooth finish; a refreshing session beer
Remarks: Did not score A, T, S, M at that time; disregard those scores

3.8/5 rDev +9.8%
NB: The reviewed beer is 3.5% abv, brewed for the Swedish market.
The colour is black; the large foam sinks down to a firm finger thick compact head.
The smell is a bit roasted, bitter with a touch of butter. It is not very strong.
The carbonation is just right, lots of small bubbles but not too strong.
The taste is soft with a fine bitterness and lots of roasted malt, the body is quite light. The creaminess reminds me a lot of a mild ale. At times, it is balancing on the edge of being watery. The aftertaste is bitter with notes of both aroma and bitter hops (sweet almonds), balanced by a roasted, earthy taste of malt.
A very drinkable and well crafted beer.

Krusovice (dark beer) brewed and bottled by Kralovsky Pivovar Krusovice (czech)
upon opening the pint .09 bottle the immediate nose to the brew was that of sweet malts and slight coffee notes.
i was surprised by the extremely dark pour and the almost nonexistant off white head.
the beers initial tastes were that of sweet, gently toasted malts, slight cherry notes and rootbeer were detected also.
the bottle drank very smooth, i mean very smooth. it came as no surprise that the brew only weighed in at 3.8% (the ABV was not printed on the bottle, i had to research the brewerys website krusovice.cz)
an extremely drinkable dark lager, with tasty malts and a subtle sweet finish.

On tap at a Czech restaurant in town.
Dark blacks and brown edges with about a finger of white foam and good retention as well as some lacing. Aromas of toasted malts, bordering on burnt and smoky. Tastes of toasted malts with a semi-burnt character. Hops are present with a citrus bite. Medium mouthfeel with crisp, high carbonation. Very drinkable with such low ABV.

A "Böhmischen Schwarzbier" specially brewed by Královsky Pivovar for the Swedish market.
A beer sold in a Swedish store other than "Systembolaget" may have max 3.5% alcohol in it.
Bottle from a local supermarket (Hemköp), tried it on April 22, 2006.
Verk dark red, beautiful ruby color.
Big lasting brown head.
Roasted fresh scent.
A bit thin mouthfeel, probably from the low alcohol.
Sort of acid taste, probably from the soft water combined with dark malts. Also burnt and roasted taste.
Slightly roasted after taste.
For a low alcohol beer available in stores this is excellent stuff!

2.95/5 rDev -14.7%
Bought at ICA grocery store in Visby, Gotland, Sweden.
Pours a very dark ruby brown with 2 cm dark tan head.
Smells very malty sweet, with wet grain, grass and a touch of burnt popcorn.
Very smooth mouthfeel--ever-so-slightly thick and with low carbonation.
The taste is an immediate dose of roasted malt, albeit very toned-down (I have a feeling this is because this is the 3.5% version for the Swedish market outside of Systembolaget stores), a touch of lemon. Overall, not as sweet as it smells. The aftertaste is very much unsweetened cocoa.
Overall, not bad, but I think I'd prefer the full-on Systembolaget version.

Wanting to keep their children, students, employees, customers and residents safe, representatives from the public and private sector on Long Island are devising a plan to respond to mass shootings.
The seminar at Adelphi University comes in response to the massacre of 26 people including 20 children in Newtown, Conn.
The Nassau County Police Department's sixth 'Active Shooter' seminar on Friday focuses on creating a plan to deal with anyone who uses deadly force on people and has unrestricted access to additional victims.
On December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School where he opened fire on students and staff after shooting and killing his mother in their home. Lanza later shot himself in the head.
The massacre is the second deadliest school shooting in U.S. history after the shootings at Virginia Tech in 2007.
Hundreds of people were expected to attend Friday's meeting.

David Thewlis InterviewsMovies
The Sydney Morning Herald has a short piece with Prisoner of Azkaban actor David Thewlis, in which he comments on his three young co-stars:
Thewlis, who joined the cast as Professor Lupin for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, thinks it will be difficult for them to have acting careers outside the series.
"The most likely is Rupert," he said. "I think he's the most natural actor. He's the oldest of the three. I can imagine him moving on. Emma's the same."
It will be tougher for Radcliffe, who plays Harry, to avoid becoming the Mark Hamill of his generation, typecast as Luke Skywalker to the point of hardly getting another decent role.
"Someone is going to have to make a brave casting choice to give him something that takes him away from Harry Potter," Thewlis said. "Or he's going to have to shave his head and grow a beard ... to get away from it."
The site also has a video interview with David Thewlis - click 'Playing Professor Lupin' in the 'Related' box on the same page.

Tales of ghostly goings-on at 'haunted' school
6:00pm Wednesday 14th November 2012 in Witney
SPOOKY tales about ghosts roaming Henry Box School in Witney were told during an evening of storytelling.
The event aimed to encourage the 40 youngsters to enjoy storytelling and literature.
Bill Spectre, who runs ghost tours in Oxford, gave a reading of Bram Stoker's The Judge's House to pupils including Megan Berry, Immy Hill, Molly Mullins and Sophie Harlow.
They were also taken to the school's library and told about the ghost of the founder's wife Mary Box who, so the story goes, still roams the building.
Librarian Nicola Patrick said: "It was a huge success. I hope it will create lots of positive memories and some of the students are now really interested in story telling as an artform."
Immy, 11, said: "I liked the Mary Box tale because it told you all about the history and that the library was haunted, and also the story-teller was great with his facial expressions and scary voices.
"At the end my friends and I told our own ghost stories."
Immy said she was now more interested in English Literature because of Thursday event, adding: "It was a really engaging way of learning."

Regardless of eating or cooking habits, a healthy lifestyle requires that food remain uncontaminated and fresh. At the heart of clean kitchen is the separation of different types of foods and proper cooking and cleaning practices.
Keep It Clean
A clean kitchen is easy to achieve so long as upkeep is performed regularly. Standing water and old food allow bacteria to spread, so make sure to clean out your fridge regularly, and don't let dirty dishes sit in the sink for days on end. Perhaps the easiest step to avoid bacteria growth around the kitchen is to clean or replace sponges often. Ironically, the tool we use to clean our dishes is often the one that spreads the most bacteria. A wet sponge is an ideal place for bacteria to grow as it is built to trap moisture. Sponges can be easily cleaned by microwaving for about a minute, which kills all bacteria that may be growing inside them. Replace sponges that are old or worn to stop the spread of bacteria, and never use an old wet sponge to clean dishes. And finally, keep counter tops clean and free of debris. Wiping down counters before and after cooking helps keep bacteria at bay.
Separate the Food Groups
Different types of food should be stored in different places. Meat, dairy, and produce should all be kept in their own areas, as each have unique health issues associated with them. Vegetables that are to be eaten raw are of particular concern, as bacteria associated with meat and dairy will not be killed in the cooking process. Therefore, it's always best to keep veggies in the crisper section of the refrigerator and away from meat and dairy. Meat should be kept in a separate area by itself as well, as should dairy products. Contaminants from meat can affect dairy as easily as they can affect vegetables and vice versa. By separating foods it ensures that the spread of potential contaminants is limited.
Heat or Chill
Bacterial growth can be easily avoided by keeping food hot or cooling it quickly. Bacteria grow best at room temperature, so keeping perishables in the refrigerator or freezer is a must. A refrigerator should generally stay around 34 degrees Fahrenheit to protect food from going bad. If you plan on to leave food on the stove, keep the temperature above 149 degrees Fahrenheit. At temperatures hotter than 149 most common bacteria cannot survive. Food kept in the freezer is generally preserved best at around 0 degrees if possible.
Cook Wisely
When cooking, one should keep in mind all of above previous information. Make sure kitchen materials are clean and foods are kept separate until they are added together in a dish. Wash all utensils used to prepare raw meat before they touch any other food, and make sure never to serve cooked meat with the same utensils used to prepare it. The longer meat is cooked, the less likely that it will carry harmful bacteria. After cooking, be sure to store leftovers in the proper packaging and at the correct temperature. It is always best to cool leftovers as rapidly as possible to prevent contamination. Leaving food on the counter can allow bacteria to grow.

I use AknCommonDialogs::RunSelectDlgLD to select file. Then How to open it with fopen()?How to get data with fread()?
If you are already writing new Symbian-specific code, I think you are better off with the native Symbian APIs. For example, use RFs, RFile etc. for file access.
AknCommonDialogs::RunSelectDlgLD() places the file name in a 16-bit descriptor. To use it with fopen(), you will have to convert it to a 8-bit zero-terminated C string. With RFIle you can pass in file names as 16-bit descriptors so you do no need to do any conversions.
Furthermore, standard C file access examples are all over the internet. A good starting point is the s60opencdoc.chm documentation supplied with Open C.
Some basic ways to use it will be like this
#include <libc\stdio.h >
char* name = "C:\\Media files\\document\\Logs.txt";
FILE *file_lp;
file_lp = fopen (name, "r");
if (file_lp == NULL)
/* Can't open the file in read mode */
// free any memory allocated
return (-1);
// for reading character by character
int ret_l;
ret_l = fgetc(file_lp);
// closing the file
// for more info about fread refer this link

What Is The TRUE Meaning Of Success?
It's easy. Here's how to break it down and truly dissect it's nature.
S - Sense of direction
U - Understanding
C - Confidence
C - Clarity
E - Esteem
S - Self-confidence
S - Self-acceptance
That's as clear and simple as it can get, wouldn't you agree?
Success may seem like this huge mountain that we need to overcome. In reality, all we need to be on the path of success is: a sense of direction, understanding, clarity, esteem, self-confidence and self-acceptance. If you have all 7 and you pair it up with extreme action taking, you are moving closer and closer towards your dreams. You're not far from making it all a reality.
You can start working on your dreams now. Click here.
Dissecting each aspect of success...
1.) Sense of direction
This is really important. Sense of direction is pretty much the same as having a vision. The important question is... "Where do you want to go?". Developing a road map mentally and putting it on writing is critical. This is how we know what to do next and having a sense of direction wouldn't create a lost cause. Being specific in what you want is the key to getting the things that you specifically want.
2.) Understanding
You may be thinking "Why do I need to be understanding...for what reason?!". Each and every one of us come from different backgrounds. We're experiencing different things in life. Instead of blaming and making excuses, understand that life is a series of challenges. Where ever you are now, accept it, take responsibility, realize that you are where you are because of the decisions you've made and do something about it. It's far more productive than wasting time blaming the whole world except yourself, wouldn't you agree?
3.) Confidence
No one in the history of mankind has done amazing things without having confidence in in what they do. Being confident releases a different type of energy, a different type of aura. An aura that influences people and brings them up...not down.
4.) Clarity
We're back. Like I mentioned before, the clearer the vision, the more specific, the more badass. Clarity can help create motivation, passion, inspiration and most importantly...focus.
The clearer you are with your purpose or your "WHY", the clearer the images in your mind become. Whatever images play within your mind will directly create an output which is in form of emotion. The stronger and more empowering the images, the stronger and more empowering the emotions that you will be reaping. Like I said...it's important to stay clear and precise with your vision.
(Click here to see how a vision can change the world (Maybe even your life)
5.) Esteem
I can describe this in one word that pretty much sums it all up and that's "RESPECT". Respect for who?
Most importantly for yourself but also never forget to respect the people that will help bring you to the top. Respect goes a long way and people never forget nor get turned off by it. Be aggressive in a respectful manner.
6.) Self-confidence
You become a different person. It's like all of a sudden, you've discovered your "other self" as Napoleon Hill likes to put it.
If you don't believe in yourself...if you're not confident in your skills and talents...then you will never achieve anything. You will always be mentally consumed by fear, worry and anxiety.
One really awesome way to stopping these unwanted feelings is by getting better and growing. Fear is nothing but an illusion projected by our subconscious mind. It's an outcome from projecting scary images of yourself messing up and failing within your mind. Worry is pretty much the same but this time, you're underestimating your skills and talents (if you're well-prepared then why worry?!). Anxiety is worrying about the future. Live in the moment and whatever decision you've made, stop trying to mentally escape. Be in the moment!
7.) Self-acceptance
Whatever situation or circumstance you're in...accept it. If you never accept it, you will always struggle internally and externally. You need to learn how to accept what you can't change (everything in the past) and change what you can't accept (your current lifestyle, relationships, finances, etc.)
Moving forward in life starts with you and only you. No one else can do anything about it but you. If you don't come to terms with yourself then it means you're lying to yourself. Being true to yourself and accepting who you are is always important and it's a critical piece to the life puzzle. People who are lost are merely people who don't or can't accept who they are. One thing I can say is "If you don't like who you've become...change it!".
Success is ready for you! It's waiting for you at the other side of this page. Click NOW!

Ex-Ann Arbor police chief Dan Oates leads investigation into Colorado 'Dark Knight' massacre
Recent developments:
• Shooting suspect's apartment 'booby-trapped'; area evacuated
• Shooting victim narrowly missed gunfire last month
• Witnesses describe shooting scene
Note: The number of victims is now reported as 12 this morning, reduced from 14. That number was changed in this story.
Former Ann Arbor Police Chief Dan Oates is in the national spotlight Friday morning after his officers in Aurora, Colo., arrested the gunman accused of killing 12 and wounding at least 50 in a theater screening of "The Dark Knight Rises."
The Associated Press
The gunman, who is in custody, stood at the front of the theater and fired into the crowd about 12:30 a.m. MDT at a multiplex theater in a mall in Aurora that was showing the new Batman movie, the Associated Press reports.
"Witnesses tell us he released some sort of canister. They heard a hissing sound and some gas emerged and the gunman opened fire," Oates told reporters at a news conference, according the AP account.
Police, ambulances and emergency crews swarmed the scene after frantic calls started flooding the 911 switchboard, officials said. The suspected gunman was taken into custody behind the theater.
Details on the crime and the suspect were still unfolding as of Friday morning. There was no immediate word of any motive.
The suspect spoke of "possible explosives in his residence. We are dealing with that potential threat," Oates told reporters.
Aurora is on Denver's east side and is Colorado's third-largest city with 327,000 residents. Oates left Ann Arbor to run that department in 2005 after four years as police chief in Ann Arbor. Prior to that, he worked in New York City, coming to Ann Arbor just weeks before the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks.

A SOLUTION FOR PEACE, HARMONY, AND TRANQUILITY : This act of crime may compel us to better understand the nature of violence. I consider violence is the manifestation of a lack of peace, harmony, and tranquility in a person's living experience. It is related to the aspect of spiritual well-being of that person who resorts to violence. It is time that we must fight crime by paying attention to the problem of promoting the spiritual well-being of all people before the sickness like violence affects others in the community. We are selling guns and ammunition without knowing or understanding the health condition of the purchaser. I would suggest that we must verify by asking simple and direct questions to ascertain if the purchaser has any issues about his/her own living experience. You may be surprised, people who have issues, often disclose them when asked.
Sat, Jul 21, 2012 : 12:11 p.m.
My heart aches for the families in Aurora -- but look at what folks are bombarded with daily on television, movies, video games -- many times very violent, especially some of the video games. Makes one begin to wonder a tad.
Honest Abe

Oates is a good guy, but he was a total softy when he was in Ann Arbor.
Fri, Jul 20, 2012 : 5:44 p.m.
This action is straight out of Warner Bros. Studio "Gangser Squad" trailer/preview (soon to be released) The Hollywood glorification of violence is responsible, in my opinion, for the conception, excitement, activities and acceptance of this type of crime. All you need is ONE copycat nutcase and this is what results. Funny/ludicrous how the pervayers, actors and sponsors of these 'action adventures' are all outspoken criticizers of gun, weapons, explosives and knife possesion, but lead the way in their abuse. And one of the presidential candidates is campaigning, with the support of Hollywood, as the 'Dark Knight' ! Will the next president still subscribe to Hollywood whims for more and more depravity while accepting their cash?
Fri, Jul 20, 2012 : 3:40 p.m.
This couldn't have happened in Ann Arbor luckily, since Ann Arbor those not a large move theater within the inner city limits :/
Fri, Jul 20, 2012 : 3:34 p.m.
We need more access to mental health care and stronger laws to commit people that are on the edge. This is just insane - and I seriously, seriously doubt a switch was flicked and this guy suddenly went nuts. People had to have known he was disturbed but even if someone wanted to do something about it, there is typically nothing one can do. That is a tragedy.
Sat, Jul 21, 2012 : 1:46 p.m.
This kid, like many others that grow up in todays world, probably raised himself in quiet desperation and was secluded to an alternate reality fueled by movies, media and Internet. No care or screening would have prevented this. The only hope is to encourage parents to focus on one of the most important job they should be doing, parenting their kids. The other involves removing guns from the system so that it's not as easy to commit these acts, but no one wants to talk about that as it may infringe upon their outdated "rights".
Fri, Jul 20, 2012 : 3:02 p.m.
I wonder if there is more of this thing or it just gets more exposure. Some guy blew up a whole school full of children in Bath Michigan (outside Lansing) at the turn of the century. We've always been a violent country. More violent? I don't know.
Fri, Jul 20, 2012 : 3:21 p.m.
I think it's just more (and quicker) exposure. Look at the way the media swarms to these incidents and runs coverage into the ground even before there's enough time to discern the entire story. If you want a real eye-opener read "Columbine" by David Cullen. Ten years after the fact he goes through and tells the full story, correcting the media's knee-jerk, ratings first reporting as well as revealing what the media didn't even bother to stick around and learn.
Fri, Jul 20, 2012 : 3:01 p.m.
According to the mayor of Ann Arbor on newstation WWJ 950 this morning Oates left Ann Arbor for Colorado because there isn't much crime in Ann Arbor
Mon, Jul 23, 2012 : 4:12 p.m.
If that's the reason he stated, he was being diplomatic. Oates was a wonderful guy who was all but pushed out. We didn't let him escape, we lost him.
say it plain
Sat, Jul 21, 2012 : 1:25 a.m.
Just btw, reports indicate that Aurora had just been named to ....ready now?...a list of the top ten safest cities in the US! By Forbes magazine. So, unless that's been a recent change (and indeed there are claims that crime in Aurora had been increasing recently, so it seems that some were shocked to see their city on that list), leaving Ann Arbor for Aurora wasn't because Ann Arbor was so boring crime-wise by comparison. Unless, of course, one doesn't believe in lists. We seem to take great stock in them around here ;-)
say it plain
Fri, Jul 20, 2012 : 4:58 p.m.
Is that the reason Oates gave for real? I'd love to know lol...
Fri, Jul 20, 2012 : 3:37 p.m.
Thanks for posting that, ttc. Did the mayor also mention that there aren't many police officers in Ann Arbor anymore, either? Probably not. I'm sure we all feel safer with his declaration today.
Fri, Jul 20, 2012 : 2:44 p.m.
Oates just called "One of the best police chiefs in America" by Bill Bratton former police commisioner of Los Angeles. Said he worked with Oates in the nineties in NYC. Howd we let him escape Ann Arbor?
Fri, Jul 20, 2012 : 3:05 p.m.
Um, "we" had nothing to do with it. He is smart, saw what our pathetic mayor and his puppets were up to, saw the light and bolted after a mere four years.

I recently added the 9News.com video link to this article. It's long - about 8 minutes - and starts with a bit of an overview. However, once the interview starts with the witness, it's riveting and so emotional. I want to encourage people to both watch it to absorb some of the tragedy here, but also offer a warning that it really is emotional. This witness keeps his composure and offers so much detail. I'm just sitting here stunned after watching.

Habitat Dedicates 80,000th House
Habitat founder Fuller presides over stirring end to Building On Faith Week
September 19 1999 - Habitat for Humanity International celebrated the construction of its 80,000th house on Sunday, Sept. 19. The house, which is in the Mezquital Valley, just outside of Mexico City, will be home to a mother and her four daughters. Habitat for Humanity has now helped more than 400,000 people move from substandard housing into homes of their own.
The landmark dedication was celebrated by hundreds of Habitat for Humanity volunteers from across Mexico and was presided over by Millard Fuller, Habitat's president and founder. The dedication also marked several other Habitat milestones, including Mexico's 10,000th Habitat house and the 4,000th Habitat home built in the Metzquital Valley.
"The completion of this house is very significant," said Fuller, "because Habitat for Humanity volunteers have made this milestone possible. It was a personal thrill to be present at this dedication, and once again see the hope a new home brings. We are now poised to reach our goal of 100,000 houses by next September."
The celebrations were a fitting end to Habitat for Humanity's annual Building on Faith Week, which saw simultaneous building by more than 500 Habitat affiliates around the world. Building on Faith highlights the role of churches in the work and mission of Habitat for Humanity to address the worldwide challenge of poverty housing.
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating poverty housing worldwide. Habitat brings together people with resources and people in need to build simple, decent, affordable houses. The homes are sold to those in need at no profit, through no-interest loans. Founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller along with his wife Linda, Habitat for Humanity has built more than 80,000 houses, providing shelter for more than 400,000 people worldwide. With affiliates in every state of the United States and in 63 other countries around the world, Habitat for Humanity expects to build its 100,000th home in September 2000.

I had Diaz winning rounds 1,2 and 5. Round 3 was a toss-up and Round 4 was the only one where I had Condit winning.
If you're going to fight literally running away or backing up the whole time, the only way you should be able to win is by landing powerful counter strikes. He didn't do any of that. Just kept landing pitter patter leg kicks, which are the equivalent of jabs in boxing.
You land a jab or a leg kick to set up a power strike, like a right cross, a hook or a kick to the face. How many spinning elbows did Condit land ? 0. How many flying knees did Condit land ? 0. How many combinations did Condit land ? A bare handful. How many high kicks did he land ? 2. Everything else got blocked or dodged.
Diaz spent the whole fight coming forward and landed the cleaner, more powerful shots, including getting a takedown in Round 5 and getting in position for a Body Triangle.
I understand people wanting to fight a tactical fight, but Condit fought not to lose instead of trying to win. Those leg kicks he landed ? Half of those shots were feeble and simply "shoe shining" as we say in boxing, because the letter of the law states that it's a landed shot. How many times did you see Diaz stopped in his tracks or have his head snap back ? Practically 0.
Condit can have his belt, but it doesn't mean jack shit to me. He, and everyone in that Jackson camp talked a lot of shit about how they wanted to "bury" Nick Diaz. Well, instead, you fought like a bitch and used the "unified rules" to your advantage. He should change his name to "Natural Born Runner" and maybe join the US Olympics team, after that performance.
If Diaz is serious about retiring, then I'm finished with MMA. He was the only guy truly worth watching in the sport.

Maybe Condit should've smoked some of what Diaz was smoking...maybe he would've relaxed, felt invincible, and took some risks, rather than backpedaling the whole fight.

Miracle man Muamba is Strictly great on the dance floor (From The Bolton News)
Miracle man Muamba is Strictly great on the dance floor
9:24am Tuesday 18th December 2012 in News
MIRACLE man Fabrice Muamba showed he still has some fancy footwork as he kicked up a storm for Strictly Come Dancing — just months after retiring from the pitch following his brush with death.
The former Bolton Wanderers midfielder, who suffered a cardiac arrest during an FA Cup tie, showed off his salsa skills with professional partner Aliona Vilani for the Christmas edition of the BBC1 show.
He joined figures such as JLS star JB Gill — who found fame on rival show The X Factor — and comic Bobby Ball in the one-off festive show to be screened on Christmas Day.
Muamba, aged 24, looked delighted to be on the dancefloor performing to The Waitresses' track Christmas Wrapping.
He had told of his desire to be on the show weeks before he was linked to it — and in particular his love of the latin dance.
In a recent interview he revealed he turned down ITV's Dancing On Ice, and added: "I'd do Strictly Come Dancing. I love my salsa, so I'd be well up for that."
Fans — and the world of football — were left horrified in March when the player collapsed in front of 35,000 people in a match against Spurs. The Congo-born player, who recently tied the knot with Shauna Magunda, was technically dead for 78 minutes but was brought back after repeated shocks from a defibrillator, which made his heart beat again.
He has since had to give up football because of his medical condition. Other new faces to appear on the Christmas show include Katy Brand, Sheila Hancock and Helen Skelton. Chart star Gill is seen performing a colossal leap high above his partner Ola Jordan during the show, to be screened on Christmas Day at 6.15pm. The programme will also see a number of past contestants returning including Natasha Kaplinsky, Chelsee Healey, Chris Hollins and Rachel Stevens.
Hard-to-please judge Craig Revel Horwood will also be showing his lighter side as he dresses up as Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer during the 75-minute show.

A San Francisco Chronicle article confirms once again that American women's breast milk is contaminated from exposures to pesticides, flame retardants, additives and other chemicals in household products, air water and food.
Tracey Woodruff, director of UCSF's Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment and a member of our science advisory panel, is quoted in the article and points out that regulatory agencies should enact policies to keep breast milk from getting contaminated in the first place.
"It's really bad that the most important source of food, liquid and nutrition during the baby's very beginning of life is contaminated," she said. "We should figure out how to un-contaminate it, rather than scare women off breast-feeding."

Federal Programs
Targeting Title II Funds
Strategic Planning
While West Virginia schools districts target funds in uniquely powerful ways, the process for determining needs and planning the use of funds is similar. As a federal programs director, it is one's responsibility to use the county and school strategic planning processes as a tool for creating an effective work plan for each federal program. Strategic planning provides school districts with an opportunity to invite all stakeholders impacted by the educational process (administrators, teachers, parents, students, community leaders, etc.) to identify core beliefs and create a mission statement. It also provides county level personnel the opportunity to educate stakeholders about how federal funds may be used in collaboration to enhance the effectiveness of the educational system and improve the methods by which they are braided to accomplish the mission.
Data Analysis and Identified Priorities
Data analysis identifies internal and external factors that affect student achievement and school culture. While there may be a number of of areas in which a district hopes to enhance each student's education, only a few items may be selected as the district's identified priorities for continuous school improvement. These identified priorities shape each district's use of federal funds.
Example of Targeting Funds
If a district identifies deficiencies in mathematics as one of their identified priorities, it may choose to set a goal statement to enhance test scores in the area of mathematics. A measurable objective for that goal may be to raise Westest Scores by 5%. The school district may then want to consider the following in how it plans action steps for every federal program:
Once these questions have been answered, appropriate action steps may be taken to target funds in areas of greatest need. These action steps must align to the federal requirements in law an policy. Eligibility may be determined by adherence to the decision filter and Title II, Part A or Title VI resources.
Title VI
If the LEA is identified for improvement, the district must be able to provide evidence that it has targeted the funds at the issues causing them to be identified during monitoring.

Graduate Programs
The Faculty of the Atmospheric Sciences Program of the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences comprises scientists from the Department, and the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center. This combination of two distinct but related institutions gives the University at Albany the largest program of education and research in the atmospheric sciences in New York State. The ASRC and the local office of the National Weather Service (NWS) a are both located in the Center for Environmental Sciences and Technology Management (CESTM), which is within easy walking distance of the Department. The Graduate Program offers M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs in a wide variety of research topics in atmospheric and environmental sciences.
The current group of scientists covers a broad range of interests in the atmospheric and environmental sciences. A summary description of the three broad areas of research we offer for graduate study can be found by clicking the "Research Areas" tab above. Students may also combine these areas or propose interdisciplinary research with other departments, such as Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Nanoscience, Geography, Environmental Health Sciences, and Public Affairs. Opportunities exist for internships and cooperative research with the Albany National Weather Service office which is located on the University campus. Some of this cooperative research is through the CSTAR program.
Members of the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences are funded externally by agencies such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Office for Naval Research (ONR), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Air Force Office for Scientific Research (AFOSR) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).
