Mayo Clinic ranked best hospital in Phoenix
PHOENIX - Mayo Clinic, the nonprofit medical practice and research facility, has been ranked the best hospital in the Phoenix metro area.
According to US News, the Mayo Clinic was ranked best hospital because of its number of nationally-ranked and high-performing specialties around the state.

Scottsdale's Healthcare Shea Medical Center came at number two, while St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix came in at number three.

Kelly Clarkson isn't just really good at singing and being pregnant. She also, we now know, is really good at creating terribly awkward Christmas cards. On Tuesday, the 31-year-old American Idol winner shared a photo on Twitter of herself, her new husband Brandon Blackstock, his two children from a previous marriage, and their two dogs:
Merry Christmas from the Blackstocks! Share your photos for a chance to win! More info here: bit.ly/1aSCYNs http://t.co/lzn0LnaiBV—
Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) December 10, 2013
It's unclear, however, if Clarkson and her family are merely wrapped up in decorations for fun, or if Santa has tied them up and is holding them hostage. Or possibly holding onto some kind of explosive device, powered by Christmas lights, that will destroy them should they try and escape.
And that's what makes the photo truly awkward.

Line drive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In baseball, a line drive is a type of batted ball, sharply hit, and on (or slightly above) a level trajectory. The threshold between a line drive (also sometimes called a liner or frozen rope) and a fly ball can be subjective.
Line drives can be dangerous to baseball players and spectators. For example, on July 22, 2007, Tulsa Drillers first base coach Mike Coolbaugh was killed in a line drive accident at an away game with the Arkansas Travelers. Though the ball hit his neck, his death was the impetus for base coaches to start wearing helmets. [1]

activities and attractions in Venice Los Angeles Area
City Highlights
Located in western Los Angeles, Venice Beach is a wildly popular draw for individuals looking for a good getaway spot. Selecting Venice Beach vacation rentals puts visitors in one of the prime vacation destinations in California. The town was founded in 1905 and was marketed as the Venice of California. Since then, Venice Beach has only grown in popularity, and over the years it has been well built up with beaches, canals, boardwalks, and more. Venice Beach vacation homes are fantastic options for those who are looking for nonstop entertainment and sun during their getaway.
Those who choose Venice Beach vacation rentals never have to wonder if they will have enough to do. Venice Beach is arguably the perfect vacation destination thanks to its multitude of attractions, many of which appeal to a wide range of guests. At the top of the list is the Ocean Front Walk. For those who plan a Venice Beach vacation, the Ocean Front Walk is the first place to visit. With live musicians, fortune tellers, and distinctive products, there is something for everyone at the Ocean Front Walk.
Beyond the Ocean Front Walk, some people may be drawn to Muscle Beach. Though the original Muscle Beach was located north of Santa Monica, the modern incarnation is at Venice Beach. This unique gathering place focuses on body building and weightlifting, and celebrities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger have trained there extensively. Muscle Beach features weightlifting equipment and space for gymnastics and other physical activities.
One of the newer attractions that those looking for a Venice Beach vacation condo may be interested in is the Venice Beach Skate Park. This state of the art facility features a variety of obstacles, making it the perfect place to enjoy a skate or to just appreciate the tricks of others. The park is located just next to Muscle Beach and is on the beach.
Venice Beach vacation rentals are also close to a number of wonderful recreational activities. Some guests may be interested in the wealth of golfing opportunities near Venice Beach. Another relaxing activity can be a spa getaway, with plenty of unique massages and skin treatments to choose from.
If guests wish to enjoy a bit more action while staying in a Venice Beach vacation home, it is also good to remember that Venice Beach is renowned for its intense pickup basketball. There are a variety of courts in the area, and some famous players have been known to hone their skills on the streets of Venice Beach. Other sporting opportunities in Venice Beach include tennis, volleyball, bicycling, and more.
For beach lovers, Venice Beach not only has ready access to the water but is also close to some of the other popular California beaches. In fact, those who choose a Venice beach rental are only five minutes away from both Santa Monica and Marina del Rey.
In addition to the other leisure activities available at Venice Beach, those who choose Venice Beach vacation rentals can expect a solid shopping experience. There are four distinct shopping districts in Venice Beach, the first of which is along Ocean Front Walk. This unique stretch has a number of unusual vendors among the other performers and restaurants. The offerings here are eclectic and changing, so it is always worth a look.
For a bit more upscale experience, many guests prefer the shopping along Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Between antiques and boutiques, the selection on Abbot Kinney is sure to appeal to a wide range of shoppers. Shoppers should also be sure to check out some of the vintage clothing stores on Abbot Kinney, which are considered to be some of the top shops in the entire Los Angeles area.
Venice Beach vacation rentals are also within close distance to some fine dining experiences. Of particular note are the restaurants along Abbot Kinney Boulevard. This thriving street even features Abbot's Pizza, which is well known for its salad pizza. Because Venice Beach is such a popular destination, guests can expect to find restaurants of all styles and price points.

"This card met all expectations! The paper stock is nice and sturdy. Printing is beautifully done with the thermography. It is so nice to also have the bows already and exquisitely done. I can't wait to send these out!!"
"We opted to not do a photo card this year, and selected this thermography card. It is GORGEOUS. The paper is thick, and the printing is rich. The designers adjusted the spacing just so. I'm really happy to be sending these out this year."

These problems go way back to the 80's. I dont think any of them were ever really resolved. Definately Bobby's book should have come out at a later date and he does bash quite a few people, but thats rock and roll!! It is truly a shame that they are going to call it quits so soon. I have heard that they need a break. Maybe so, but all the negativity does not help. I feel no matter how bad it is within a band, we as fans shouldnt even be hearing any of it. We the fans have made them the stars they are today. Without us, well, enough said....They play great music, and we still enjoy it.
I also hope they can get their lives in order and get along. But we dont live with them on the road every day or have to deal with the things they do, so who are we to judge.....

Our room, storage space and balcony seemed small in comparison to RCI & Carnival. But, the bed was very comfortable -- a saving grace.
We ate in the main dining room every evening and usually for breakfast. Our head waiter, Alfie, was excellent and catered to our needs. We are not picky eaters. Some entrees were better than others, but on the whole I wouldn't rave about dinner. Breakfast was nice if you sat at a table for two, but service at a large table was an hour of waiting to be served. Again, the food was good, not excellent.
The Oceanview Cafe -- (the buffet in other words). In the self-serve drink area, if you didn't slip on the wet floor, your shoes stuck in the sugary spills. One time, there was red juice spilled all over and I sat in it and ruined my white shorts. The window sills were filthy. DH loved the fried fish and chips. I thought the pizza was terrible. To make a fresh salad, you had to go to 3 different stations for variety. The AquaSpa Cafe had very nice steamed or grilled fresh salmon or tuna with a salad selection.
Room Service -- We used room service for a late afternoon snack. The selection was poor, but the cheese and crackers were the worst. Imagine, American cheese slices and Keebler crackers -- was I in daycare? Another time we had minuscule chicken wings -- I didn't know they made them that tiny!
The theater--was very nice with comfortable seating. We enjoyed the acrobats, the comedian/magician and the musical variety shows.
Seminars -- something not found on every line! We enjoyed the seminar on "Pirates", the Apple I-Pad and the one on Navigation.
We didn't take any "tours".
Getting off the ship was not as easy as getting on. Waiting until 9:30am and then having to stand in very long lines was tiring. Our luggage was easy to find. Customs went smoothly. Our Park n Go van was right there to take us back to our car.
We are doing 4 cruises this winter and hope for better on the next three.

Four Aiken Technical College Radiation Protection Technology students recently received a distinguished nuclear industry certification that will make them more marketable to potential employers.
Read the text of a press release we received below:
Richard Austin, Allison Cunningham, Colby Kight, and David Roberts were recognized with Nuclear Uniform Curriculum Program (NUCP) certificates during a ceremony on campus this month. The NUCP certification can allow qualified students to be exempt from portions of required initial job training at any nuclear power plant in the country because of the specialized training that the student has received through training with a partner college.
"The NUCP certificate is acknowledgement of the students' achievements in the core classes of their degree programs, and assures the nuclear power industry that they have satisfied the fundamental requirements for an entry-level radiation protection technician position," said ATC Department Chair for Nuclear and Skilled Trades Programs Dave Deal.
Students who successfully complete the requirements and receive the NUCP certification could skip more than 12 weeks of required initial training and proceed to site-specific training, which would mean a significant savings of cost and time for a potential employer.
ATC partnered with industry sponsor SCANA to develop and certify ATC's program, awarding its first NUCP certificate in 2011. Since then, ATC has awarded a group of students with the specialized NUCP certification each year.
Students were joined at last week's ceremony by Paul Mothena, SCANA Manager for Nuclear Training and New Nuclear Deployment; Moses Coleman, SCANA Manager of Health Physics and Safety Services; and William Barber, Health Physics Operational Superintendent for Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4.

NEW YORK (MainStreet)Bank of America (BAC) wants us to believe it's MCI and Countrywide is Worldcom. The thing is...
I know MCI post-Worldcom...and BofA is no MCI post-Worldcom.
After the Worldcom accounting scandal rocked Wall Street a decade ago, MCI (now owned by Verizon, one of the last Baby Bells standing) ran mandatory ethics training throughout the company. MCI had transparency. MCI had auditing practices in place. MCI's company materials were easy to read and followed by every employee of the company.
Also see: DFS Force-Placed Insurance Legislation is a Joke
I was a Relay Operator at the time. My group translated telephone calls between voice phone users and text calls from the deaf and hard of hearing. To respect the privacy of our customers, MCI built a secure room in the back that could only be accessed with a special ID. Prior to the interview, we were tested for our ability to relay sensitive information without judgment. Within the first 10 minutes of sitting down to interview for my position (in my most professional suit and tie), I was handed a piece of paper and told to read five things straight-faced (these are just descriptions, not literally the things I had to read):
- Something about killing a politician
- Something anti-Semitic
- Something sacrilegious
- Something sexy (I actually did a sexy voice for this one and made him crack a smile)
- Something obscene
After passing all of the interviews and aptitude tests, we were given a drug pre-screening and run through a standard background check. The first week of training, the checks came through, and one person was removed from the class...
Also see: Ethical Risk Management: Anonymous Reveals Its Face
MCI's training class was one of the more engaging corporate training classes I've ever been through (and I've been through a LOT of training courses). They played videos on ethics and quizzed us. The employees bought into the corporate culture. The honesty and morality was forced upon the company by the corporation, but it was genuine. There were checks and balances in place, and, as in nearly every company I ever worked for in my life, the customer was the focus. Ethics saturated the entire company from the top down. Unfortunately over the next decade, cell- and web-based calling rose up to dominate society, making MCI's Friends and Family plan obsolete. The company faded away soon after.
By the time Verizon took over MCI, I had already moved on. I got a job with Countrywide Home Loans. I found myself experiencing culture shock in an entirely different world. Ethics and morality were no longer discussed. It was the first job where we didn't take a course on sexual harassment and ethics as part of the initial training course. We were shown a dress code and vacation policy, but other than thatnothing. The business was entirely numbers driven. Critical thinking wasn't encouraged. Questions went nowhere. The only suggestions that were solicited were suggestions that led to higher production.
The customer was never a focus. In fact, the majority of workers in the mortgage industry don't work in customer facing positions. The industry is divided into front end and back end. When you speak to a customer service associate, he'll blame everything on the back end (aka "corporate," "the mailroom," etc). That back end is where I worked, managing multiple teams and projects at five processing centers in three countries for over a dozen of the largest lenders in the country.
In the back end, the only time we so much as looked at a customer's name was to spellcheck it. Not only are you not considered important as a customer, but you also aren't looked at as people. You're numbers and codes on a screen. We were completely detached from the effects of what we did.
Also see: 30-Day Blues: Americans Come Up Short On Cash Every Month
In the back end, everything is compartmentalized to the point that everyone is sitting in cubicles putting numbers in fields. Each department monitors certain fields for certain numbers. The meaning of these numbers and fields is never taught. In fact, it's purposely withheld.
In every meeting I ever had with executive management, we were encouraged to keep people disconnected so they would not understand the big picture. Explanations of the effects of each value in each field are purposely dumbed down or even left out of training material. Workers are taught what to do with no attention given to what it means or affects.
The fact of the matter is that the housing crisis and fraudulent foreclosures aren't committed directly by executives like BofA President and CEO Brian Moynihan. It's not the 1% directly raising your payments and manufacturing foreclosures. Corporate banks don't work like that. They work like the mafia. Brian Moynihan is the capo. BofA co-CEOs David Darnell and Thomas Montag are his consiglieri. Everyone else is a soldier...
And the only way we'll ever prove the fraud that the banks committed during the financial crisis and subsequently stop it is to hit them in their back ends...
Brian Penny is a former business analyst at Bank of America turned whistleblower. He documents his experiences van dwelling, working with Anonymous, training to be a yogi, and fighting the banks on his blog.

Here's an example:
"I repeat: a 12-point swing," Sullivan stressed. "On every single issue, Obama has instantly plummeted into near-oblivion."
Just hold it a moment.
Did anyone really believe that the president would just sail into re-election? That the polls would never get closer? Agreed, the Romney campaign, at least until the debate, was a train wreck, but Romney, unlike Obama, did what a candidate has to do when his or her message is off track — change tactics. And, if you're as right-wing as they come, go to the center as fast as you can, and any way you do so is game. Unfortunately for the president, Romney chose the debate to make that turn, and the president did not challenge that change. It was the single biggest mistake of the debate. Romney's complete change to the center? A record 90 minutes. That sets a new national record. Now, of course he contradicted himself, changed policies and positions but, hey, what's a losing candidate to do? And now he's not a losing candidate, but one who is in the game.
Anyone breathing who watched the debate agrees: Obama lost. That said, get over it. Yes, he was not there. Yes, he was not engaged. Yes, he did not challenge the contradictions and new positions Romney uttered, and sadly he disappointed all of us who believe in him. We do not know the reason why, and if I were interviewing the president, that would be tops on the list of questions I'd ask. I guess that puts my interview request on the bottom of the pile. That said again, get over it and let's move on. This president will learn from that night, but those who are constantly dwelling on his performance are only helping the other side. Andrew, the president doesn't need you to tell him how bad he did — he's bright enough to know and adjust.
So here's what has to be done. The president, vice president and those on the campaign trail must hit their messages home every day, especially on Social Security, other entitlements and social issues. They must reframe those issues in a way that the general public can understand: sound bites. And they must not — I repeat, not — lose any opportunity to point out Romney's flip-flopping. Earlier this week, for at least the fourth time in his life, Romney changed his position on abortion. Democrats shouldn't be afraid to mention all his positions, then ask, Which Mitt Romney are you today? And answer it for him. Never mind; he might be another Romney tomorrow when he's running in a different race.
If they really need motivation, all they have to do is think Supreme Court and the next president.

Many communities in north Alabama know what it's like to be faced with rebuilding after a tornado.
A handful know what it's like to rebuild then be hit again.
The Anderson Hills community in northwest Madison County was badly damaged during the storms that came on April 27, 2011. That tornado came 16 years after a devastating day in May of 1995.
The 1995 tornado killed one person, destroyed 21 houses, and left 18 more badly damaged.
Several residents moved out, but many stayed.
George Ellis Jr. is among those who stayed.
Ellis came through the storms in 1995 then saw his home hit again in 2011. He said his insurance company helped him rebuild both times.
After the April 27 storm, a neighbor helped him get to a nearby hotel.
He spent several days trying to salvage what he could from his home and find his lost pets, but he never considered leaving the area.
Ollie Nance is another homeowner who picked himself back up and rebuilt.
"I just trust in the Lord," said Nance. "You can be anywhere and this can happen, so I'd just as soon be here as anywhere else."

In many cases, multiple myeloma is discovered as part of routine blood and urine tests during a medical checkup. To increase the odds of catching this and other serious conditions as early as possible, follow the recommended schedule for general physical examinations for your age and sex.
If you have symptoms that are common to multiple myeloma — such as back pain, weakness and fatigue, poor appetite and weight loss, or repeated infections — call your doctor. After your doctor sees you, you may be referred to a specialist in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer (oncologist).
Because appointments can be brief and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready and know what to expect from your doctor.
Questions to ask your doctor at your initial appointment include:
Questions to consider if your doctor refers you to an oncologist include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment at any time that you don't understand something.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Thinking about your answers ahead of time can help you make the most of your appointment. A doctor who sees you for possible multiple myeloma may ask:
While you wait for your appointment, check with your family members to find out if any relatives have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma or with plasma disorders such as MGUS.

It bears repeating every winter weather season.
Ohio Sheriff's are given the freedom of issuing travel restrictions or advisories, if they choose to.
I always think of the three levels as a traffic light.
The lowest level One is like the green light.... a slippery snow-covered drive, but passable.
The second level Two is like a yellow light... motorists may drive, if they feel it is necessary.
The third and highest level Three is like a red light... NOBODY travels, under penalty of being cited.
Every year we must review these declarations for our Ohio viewers. Unfortunately, the West Virginia Legislature has not seen fit to issue such power to WV sheriffs, but we can be sure that the weather doesn't just stop at the Ohio river.
Whenever bad weather arrives, use common sense and monitor the media to relay the advisories issued by your local sheriff.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSCabell Students Film PSA On Distracted Driving
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported by: Heath Harrison
Reported: Jul. 17, 2014 10:46 PM EDT
Updated: Jul. 17, 2014 10:55 PM EDT
Huntington , Cabell County , West Virginia
Students are getting creative, when it comes to warning people about the dangers of distracted driving.
High school and middle school students from Cabell County took part in a public service announcement commercial shoot Thursday for a distracted driving prevention campaign.
The students took part in a teen summit in conjunction with the Cabell County Substance Abuse Prevention Partnership in March.
That included about 140 students. Those students came up with the idea for the campaign.
The commercial will air this fall on local stations.
Students will take part in the overall promotion of the campaign.
The commercial spot was filmed in Huntington.

Thames Water plans 10 per cent plus hike in bills
Households in parts of Wiltshire could see water bills rise by more than 10 per cent above the cost of inflation - but elsewhere in the region they could drop by around six per cent. Thames Water wants to make the increase to pay for a new sewer in London.
By contrast Wessex Water says its bills will fall in real terms from an average of £479 a year now to £454 by 2020.
Thames, which pays no corporation tax, last week announced half-year pre-tax profits were up by nearly a fifth to £134.2 million, helped by an above-inflation tariff hike. It is already at loggerheads with the regulator over customer charges.
Thames serves 14 million customers in and around London. It said its current typical £358 bill is £50 below the average for England and Wales but would increase to £398, plus inflation, for 2020.
Last month it was slapped down by Ofwat over plans for a one-off £29 bill hike for next year, because of unforeseen costs including customers failing to pay their bills, as well as the Thames super sewer.

Just in case you mistakenly heard that it was all ice and snow in Russia, take a peek at the Big Bikini Exposition. This is right on the river Moskva in Moscow!
Moscow has been the capital of Russia for almost its entire history. The exception is during the period of the Russian Empire, which lasted from 1721 until the Russian Revolution 1917. For these two centuries the capital was St. Petersburg. The Russian Empire was the second largest contiguous Empire in world memory; only the Mongol Empire had been greater.

Although you may not have heard of Sochi, on the Black Sea, they're building up quickly and hope to host the 2014 Olympics.
Other periods of Russian history include the Tsardom of Russia, from Ivan IV to Peter the Great, and the Grand Duchy (14th-16th centuries).
The earliest period of Russian history was ruled by the Novgorod Republic and Kievan Rus, which was the first Russian state dating back to 800AD in Kiev.
Modern Russia remains one of the world's superpowers. They launched the earth's second satellite, called Sputnik 1, and were the first country to put a human being into orbit around earth. (The first one is called the Moon.)
After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia became a federal republic of 83 states.

Each browser has its own defaults, so to account for them all, there are resets like the above. Perhaps not every element needs zero padding and margin, but it's easy enough just to include them all in the one rule. I've never used a browser that had any default margin or padding on a div, for example, but I hear there is (or was) such an one.

Newer versions of browsers are tending to be closer in their defaults but there is no guarantee. Previously some browsers used margins on html and some like opera used padding and some like IE applied styles to the body element instead.
Therefore the standard practice for old and new browsers is simply to zero margins and padding on html and body e.g. html,body{margin:0;padding:0}.
There are many other anomalies such as the default space for bullets on lists which some browsers use padding and some use margin so you need to address both.
It would be nice if all browsers used the same measurements but then why would you want a browser telling you how much margin to apply. It's your job as a designer to set the requirements for your layout that you need.

Deadline on village shop sale looms (From thisisoxfordshire)

Deadline on village shop sale looms
10:00am Friday 3rd January 2014 in News By Damian Fantato, Council Reporter, also covering Oxford city centre. Call me on 01865 425429
TIME is running out for a community's plan to buy their village shop under new 'right to buy' laws.
Wolvercote villagers have until January 23 to make an offer on The Post Box, Godstow Road, before special protected status ends.
Owner Colin Crozier put the freehold on the market at £400,000 but cannot sell it straight away under new laws.
A group of villagers used the Localism Act 2011 to give them six months to find cash to make an offer.
No other offers could be accepted by Mr Crozier until the six months is up on January 23.
But he said the villagers, who have argued that the property is worth less than Mr Crozier's asking price, had yet to come up with a satisfactory offer.
Neither party would say how much residents have put forward, but it was previously said the figure had reached £237,900 in August, pledged by 174 people.
Their money would be returned from the net income the shop makes.
Mr Crozier said: "I don't have any objection to selling the shop to them in principle. I have not heard anything from them in months.
"I don't mind that the sale has been put on hold. It makes no odds to me.
"I have got my idea of what the shop is worth and my opinion is that it is worth more than they say it is," he added. "If it isn't, then I am not going to sell it."
Steve Lunn, a member of the villagers' steering committee, said the shop was not worth £400,000.
He said: "As a community benefit society we cannot pay more than we believe it to be worth.
"We have to know we are getting a reasonable deal because if things go wrong we can sell it and repay people.
"We will be doing all we can to get our offer up as high as we can and I wouldn't say we have finished. We are working on whether we can increase our offer."
He said: "Anyone who wants to buy it and gets advice from a professional valuer will be told what we have been told.
"We can wait until the owner realises they won't get a better offer.
"I am still optimistic in the long term that we will manage to buy this shop."
Mr Lunn said the group was not ready to share how much the shop had been valued at independently.
To use the act, villagers had to form a community benefit society and apply for 'preferred bidder' status to Oxford City Council.
The council asked villagers to put down how much they would pledge in order to buy the freehold.
For the right to buy laws to come into effect, a property must be first designated an 'asset of community value'.
The Kassam Stadium was the first facility in Oxford to be given this status, although owner Firoz Kassam has not put it up for sale.
Another community group in East Oxford has triggered a six-month moratorium on the sale of the Gladiator Club in Iffley Road.
Christian charity and social club owners the Gladiator Trust wants to sell the site for development and has put it on the market for £1.25m.

For all the bluster of the community groups, all that seems to happen is that it delays a genuine business transaction.
Indeed, unless they are cash buyers, it can actually increases the cost of borrowing for a purchaser by 200-300 basis points as there is a significant risk for the lending bank that they will be unable to realise their security promptly in an administration.

Just who do these villagers think they are? If Mr Crozier wants to ask £400,000 for his shop, that's his choice. Otherwise, a house buyer would be able to say that they don't think a house is worth the asking price and try to get it cheaper.

Less is More: 6 Ways to Improve Your Company's Website Design0
We have all seen certain company websites that look as though a cotton candy machine vomited all over their homepage. Everything seems to have been crammed into a very small space, company information is shoved into every corner, and there is just too much going on.
Not only are these types of small business websites unappealing, they are a turn-off for potential customers. A tell-tale sign that a company hired an amateur web designer is that there is too much "stuff" on their homepage. When it comes to web design (and your branding efforts), less is more.
Here are six quick tips on how to simplify your company's website and make it more appealing to potential customers:
1. If something does not have a purpose, get rid of it.
One big rule of web design is that nothing on your company's website should be accidental. Everything should have a purpose and function, just like a machine. Machines are never manufactured with unnecessary pieces; the same thinking should take precedence with your company website. If certain information does not fit with the rest of the page, it needs to go.
2. Web design elements should never compete for your attention.
When it comes to web design, there should only be one or two big design elements that call attention to themselves. For instance, think about a band. If there is a saxophone solo, the piano player should not attempt to take center stage. All of the other instruments should be supplementing the solo, not overpowering it. The same goes for a web design. There should be an attention-grabbing element and everything else on the page should be an accompaniment.
3. Stick to three fonts, tops.
Yes, there are a lot of cool fonts available to web designers. However, all of them do not belong on your company website. Think about how overwhelming that would be. Instead, simple fonts can make a statement and there are plenty of well-designed one-font websites. So do not be afraid to ask your web designer to use one font in varying weights and sizes. This design strategy can be anything but boring.
Just because you can use three fonts does not mean that you should. There are few websites that can pull off the three-font layout. If you feel that one font is too bland, stick to two fonts.
4. Use a maximum of three or four colors.
Acclaimed painter Bob Ross was an expert at making hundreds of colors blend together in the perfect combination of beauty and tranquility. Chances are you (or your web designer) are not Bob Ross; so it is best not to follow his example when it comes to color.
Instead, sticking to three or four colors can simplify a website and make the layout more visually appealing. For example, one great tactic is to go monochromatic and use the same color in different shades. Also, using lighter colors for a background, such as white or pastels, can make your company website feel more open.

There are some picks in this sector that have excellent valuations and strong earnings growth.
- Gold stocks to buy amid the Ukraine crisis
These three hot movers could rise by double digits in the coming months.
- RadioShack weighs rescue deal options
The electronics retailer is burning through cash, could run out by the end of '15.
Don't want to throw your own money into the market? A new contest gives you fictional cash, but the winner will take home a real $1 million.
It's a typical stock-picking contest, with winners determined by who has the highest portfolio gain. The second-place finisher gets a new Maserati, and weekly winners get exotic vacations to places such as Dubai and South Africa.
These picks offer safe, steady returns as well as solid growth potential, making any of them worthy buys on any pullback.

David Marcus, the manager of the Evermore Global Value Fund, says he's seeing the biggest bargains in 20 years in Europe.
By Robert Holmes, TheStreet
David Marcus, the manager of the Evermore Global Value Fund (EVGBX), says alarming news stories about Europe's debt debacle -- including a possible default in Greece -- are creating the biggest bargains in two decades.
As a global value-fund manager, Marcus has put his focus squarely on European stocks, as many stock indexes from Germany to France to Italy are mired in bear markets after plunging on sovereign bankruptcy fears plaguing the continent.
"We're in a world of headline readers, and they see it's pretty bad out there," Marcus says. "What our investors are paying us to do is sift through the headlines and dig deep. There are a lot of problems in Europe. We're finding that while some things are worse than the headlines, there are more opportunities there than I've seen in 20 years."
Mining shares have largely missed out on the metal's recent rally, but some analysts think that's about to change. With video analysis.
By Alix Steel, TheStreet
Gold stocks may have missed the rally in gold prices, but they're poised to hop on the bandwagon.
The changing environment for gold stocks has been a prominent topic at the Denver Gold Forum this year. It was only a year ago that the thought of $2,000 gold was reserved for the more enthusiastic gold bugs. Today that price target is becoming the norm.
"We have about a 40% probability that gold will be over $2,200 next year," says Martin Murenbeeld, the chief economist at DundeeWealth. "We have about a 50% probability that gold will average between $1,950-$2,000 an ounce."
Qwikster, the company's new DVD-by-mail branch, will offer video game rentals. Is this yet another mistake?
By Jeanine Poggi, TheStreet
Netflix (NFLX) is entering the video game rental market, a risky bet for a company attempting to find value in its DVD-by-mail service.
The company announced Sunday that it is dividing itself into two companies -- one for its DVD-by-mail program, called Qwikster, and another for its streaming service, which will continue to operate under the Netflix banner. As part of Qwikster, subscribers will be able to rent video games for Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Chief executive Reed Hastings said on Netflix's blog that this will be a video upgrade, which implies subscribers will need to pay more for the service. But Hastings didn't reveal how much more it will cost. Rival GameFly offers the service starting at $15.95 a month, while Blockbuster includes video game rentals in all of its packages, which start at $9.99 a month.
Funds that track transportation, housing and software will be in the spotlight.

Here are five ETFs to watch this week.
1. iShares Dow Jones Transportation Average Index Fund (IYT)
Transportation companty FedEx (FDX) is scheduled to announce its quarterly earnings on Thursday. While FedEx's numbers will generate interest from transports fans, the firm's report and outlook will also provide ample clues on the state of the global markets.
FDX is IYT's second largest holding, representing close to 10% of the fund's total portfolio.
We are beginning to recognize that the sovereign debt crisis will be solved -- just not in a way that is satisfying to anybody.
Some things never get old -- or discounted, for that matter. That's how I am feeling about the sovereign debt crisis.
You put it past you for a couple of days and a lot of money is made. Not a little but a lot. And then it comes back and bites you again because it can't be solved easily. The fact is, though, we are beginning to recognize that it will be solved. It just won't be solved well and in a way that is satisfying to anybody.
In other words, get used to it, it will play out, it will hurt people, but it might not hurt as many stocks as you think.
I am taking this posture because I like to see how players react to the same stimuli over and over. In other words, whenever futures are down off of Europe, do the same people who missed the rally big hold their hands up, point fingers and say "I told you so?"

As often happens, strong bearish sentiment helped boost the market all week, but it's best to wait to buy until a pullback occurs, which could come as early as mid-week.
By Tom Aspray, MoneyShow.com
The stock market got very close to the key levels in the major stock ETFs Monday, and then spent the rest of the week rebounding. This was in spite of very little in the way of positive news, either on the US economy or the Euro debt crisis.
Some of the Euro pain was lessened last Thursday, after the world's central bankers moved to offer unlimited dollar funding through the end of the year. This helped the hard-hit European banks, especially those in France, to rebound.
The news on our economy was not a big help. Retail sales were flat and Best Buy (BBY) reported 30% drop in income for the second quarter. Retail sales were hurt by the several days lost because of Hurricane Irene.
A recent survey of economists by The Wall Street Journal sees a 1 in 3 chance the US will slip into a recession. They also put even odds that the euro would breakup.
The Conference Board was even more negative on the economy, as they see a 45% chance that there will be a recession.
Energy Transfer Partners may run into a problem with growing cash distributions.
The bears probably won't be in hibernation next quarter.

The dread continues for besieged BlackBerry maker Research In Motion (RIMM).
The self-proclaimed "global leader in wireless innovation" reported gloomy earnings last night. Net income came in at $329 million, or $0.63 per share, dropping nearly 59% from last year's $797 million. Top-line revenue of $4.2 billion dropped by "only" 10% from the previous year, falling short of the $4.5 billion that Wall Street analysts were looking for. Meanwhile, gross margin took a big hit, falling to 38.7% from 44.5%. If you ask me, the only thing that RIM is leading is its own implosion.
The company shipped 200,000 PlayBooks and 10.6 million BlackBerry phones. The (already reduced) estimates called for 562,000 PlayBooks and 11.8 million BlackBerry phones. The discouraging figures don't paint a pretty picture for the future of the company's QNX platform.
Could a Chinese online shopping site really raise that much in a public offering? It seems to think so.
The company is Beijing Jingdong Century Trading Co., which runs the online shopping site 360buy.com. The business is growing at an insane pace, and Jingdong is now expecting to raise a whopping $4 billion to $5 billion from the IPO, The Wall Street Journal reports.
That would totally blow away the $1.9 million that Google (GOOG) raised in its 2004 IPO.
Brian Lazorishak, who heads the Chase Mid-Cap Growth Fund, discusses some of his best-performing holdings.
By Frank Byrt, TheStreet
This year is the moment of truth for mutual fund managers. As the economy slows and stocks fall, managers' strategies are laid bare, and those who can't make money for investors face the firing squad.
The Legg Mason Value Trust (LMVTX), which beat the S&P 500 Index for a record 15 years under Bill Miller, has slumped 10% this year. Ken Heebner's CGM Focus Fund (CGMFX), which used to gain more in one quarter than most funds did in a year, has dropped twice as much as the Value Trust. Even Fidelity's Contrafund (FCNTX) has declined 1.9%. The Boston mutual fund firm's Harry Lange, the manager of the Magellan Fund, was replaced this week because of poor performance.
Brian Lazorishak of the Chase Mid-Cap Growth Fund (CHAMX) is earning his keep. The mutual fund is in the top 2% of its category in terms of performance this year, with a return of 6%, and in the top 1% over the past 12 months, with a 27% gain, as tracked by Morningstar. The S&P 500 ($INX) is down 4% this year and up 8% over the past 12 months.
Why did the state give the television show a tax credit of up to $420,000?
Taxpayers will foot the bill for as much as $420,000 in production costs from the show's 2009 season, the Star-Ledger reports. This week, the state's Economic Development Authority agreed to give the show a film tax credit.
Bolder actions are needed to stop the slow bleed out of the eurozone. For ideas, the region's leaders are turning to measures the US took in 2008.
The European debt crisis is a festering wound on the face of the global economy. Until it heals, the global recovery, which was so strong in 2009 and early 2010, can't continue. After a handful of rescue packages -- two for Greece, one for Ireland and one for Portugal -- eurozone policymakers just can't draw a line under the problem.
Instead, dithering and a lack of big, bold measures -- like those enacted by President George W. Bush during the worst of the 2008 financial crisis -- have allowed speculators to push the currency union to the edge. They're running a flanking maneuver: While officials struggle to implement a new plan hammered out in July to save Greece, hedge fund types are pressuring too-big-too-fail Italy and Spain by pushing up borrowing costs.
The infection has spread to the banking system, which is having a hard time raising cash. The result is a drop in loan activity as banks, especially those in France, hoard capital in an effort to restore confidence. This, in turn, is pushing Europe ever closer to outright recession. What a mess.

Chart patterns indicate that an upcoming pullback in the tech sector will be well supported.
By Tom Aspray, MoneyShow.com
While the S&P 500 and Spyder Trust (SPY) have failed to surpass the 50% retracement resistance from the May highs, the Nasdaq 100 is a different story. Technology stocks have been getting lots of press lately, and many hope that this sector will help turn the market around.
Though the Nasdaq 100 is made up of both technology and biotech stocks, it is the technology space that has been getting the most attention. A closer look at the market internals for the Nasdaq 100, as well as the key chart points and the sub-industry tech groups suggests that we should get a pullback in the next week or so that will provide a better risk/reward entry level for those who are not already long.

[BRIEFING.COM] The major indices are sporting modest gains as the morning session continues. All in all, there hasn't been any sense of urgency in today's trading. That could be owed to the realization that there are some key events at the back end of the week (i.e., central bank meetings and August employment report) and/or the need for participants to re-acclimate to things after being out on vacation.

In 2001 we converted MV Lifeline, a commercial fishing boat, to a power passagemaker, setting off in 2005 from Brisbane in Australia, through Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia to Thailand, Borneo, the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia. This site tells what we did and how we are doing it - conversion costs, cruising costs, anchorages and lots more. We know how difficult it is to get information about converting a trawler, cruising long distance in a motor boat and where to travel (by boat) in South East Asia. So Cruising Under Power - Southeast Asia in a Converted Fishing Boat aims to be practical, information-laden, and based on experience - written by cruisers - not web designers (sorry about the layout, photos etc). We hope it is useful and enjoyable.

In Game 4 of their ALDS, the New York Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers 10-1. The Yankees scored ten runs, and the Tigers scored one run. Any time a team scores ten times as many runs as its opponent, it feels a little weird to suggest that everything turned on one single play; after all, the difference was a lot more than one play.
But I dunno you guys - Tuesday night, Curtis Granderson made a pair of spectacular catches in center field, and I can't shake the feeling that the first of them changed the course of the game completely.
This isn't an original thought of mine. Granderson's defense last night is all a lot of people want to talk about today. But I want to explore it in a little more depth, because I think it was hugely significant, and more significant than the final score would imply.
The setting: in the bottom of the first, there was no score, and the Tigers had the bases loaded with two outs. A.J. Burnett was struggling on the mound, and the Yankees bullpen was already active. At the plate, Don Kelly took a first-pitch ball, then swung at a fastball in the low-away corner and ripped a line drive to straightaway center.
Curtis Granderson did this. That's the video. These are the stills:
Granderson hesitated, backtracked, leaped, and caught the ball at full extension before falling down. In that way, the inning ended, scoreless, and the Yankees went on to score ten runs the rest of the way, while the Tigers scored one.
But what if Granderson hadn't made that catch? What if the ball glanced off his glove, or missed his glove entirely? We can guess, or we can turn to win expectancy, which is like using math to guess better. The idea behind win expectancy is that, at any given moment, in any situation, both teams have a certain chance of winning. This is an example of a win expectancy chart.
An assumption with win expectancy is that everything is average. This isn't always true, like when, say, the Phillies are playing the Astros. But with the Yankees playing the Tigers in Detroit with A.J. Burnett facing Rick Porcello, things were probably pretty close to even. So then we can look to the numbers and trust them.
The Tigers' win expectancy when Kelly stepped up was about 57 percent. When Granderson came up with the catch, that dropped to 50 percent. You can quibble about a point or two here and there, but anyway.
What if Granderson misses the ball, though? At the very least, that's a three-run double, and the Tigers' win expectancy shoots up to 80 percent. If it's a three-run triple, it's 81 percent. If it goes for an inside-the-park grand slam - which many suspect, since Granderson was falling, and Kelly is fast, and the ball was hit to the deepest part of the yard - it's 85 percent.
That catch by Granderson was worth about 30 - 35 percentage points of win expectancy. Because he made the catch, everything went back to even. Had he come up short, the Yankees would've been way behind the 8-ball.
And who knows what happens from there? Maybe Burnett comes undone and gets himself into more trouble. After all:
"It was a little nerve-wracking," Burnett admitted.
Or maybe Burnett gets yanked before he gets the chance to do anything else. Again, the bullpen was stirring when Kelly hit his liner, and we all knew going in that Joe Girardi wouldn't exercise much patience with Burnett with the season on the line.
So many things would have been different. The Tigers would've gotten a big early lead. Articles like this and this wouldn't have been written. Maybe the Yankees storm back later on, but maybe they don't - we can't just assume they still would've scored ten runs, because baseball doesn't work that way. Every event is in some way related to all prior events.
Curtis Granderson's leaping catch of Kelly's liner might have saved the Yankees' season. It's not fair to say he did it singlehandedly - a lot of other things happened, too, and missing that catch wouldn't have guaranteed a loss - but it can't be overstated how important that catch really was. There's no more difficult play for a center fielder to make than a line drive directly over his head, and Granderson snagged the ball in an impossibly crucial situation.
It'll be interesting to see if the Yankees go on to win the World Series. I hope that they don't - most people hope that they don't - but if they do, Granderson's catch might play the role of Dave Roberts' stolen base. With a difference being that the catch was way more important.

Jurgen Klinsmann's United States lineup for the "Camp Cupcake" friendly against Venezuela doesn't feature a great deal of surprises, and the team that he's selected makes sense based on how he's set up his teams in the past. Jermaine Jones, Jeff Larentowicz and Brek Shea resume roles that they have played with the first team, with one interesting aside. Jones, who is with the team due to his exile from Schalke 04 for the second time, by a second manager in two years, has been named captain. Here is the lineup.
United States (4-2-3-1): Hamid; Pearce, Parkhurst, Cameron, DeLaGarza; Larentowitz, Jones; Shea, Zusi, Feilhaber; Bunbury
The back line players will be under the microscope the most, as they have a much better chance of cracking the first team than the likes of Hamid, Zusi, Feilhaber and Bunbury. Parkhurst is coming off of a great year in Denmark, while the other three members of the back line are among the best defenders in MLS.
Kickoff is at 9:00 p.m. ET from Phoenix, Arizona. You can see the game on Galavision and ESPN3.
For additional coverage, head over to SB Nation Arizona, who is live at University of Phoenix Stadium for the game.
