Frustration at slow emergency response grows on Mississippi coast
By Scott Dodd
"BILOXI — Overwhelming need gripped the Mississippi Coast two days after Hurricane Katrina dealt the region a devastating blow.
In the hardest-hit areas, where hundreds of people lost their homes, cars and everything they own, parents wandered the streets Wednesday begging for water for their babies, and local officials grew frustrated at the slow response.

The Washington Redskins will suffer a loss in durability if London Fletcher were to retire at the end of the season. The linebacker has played in 254 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the NFL. With Fletcher being "99-percent certain" of retirement, the next closest player to his durability is Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten.
The Dallas tight end has played in 169 consecutive games. Witten has missed just one game in his NFL career, way back in 2003. Along with his durability, his production has also stayed consistent. Witten has not been out of the starting lineup since 2006. Witten spoke with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram about his ability to stay on the field:
"Obviously, anything labels you as just getting older, getting up there," Witten said. "It is hard to play consistently and at a high level like he [Fletcher] has every week, week in and week out. I've been fortunate to be healthy, and that's a big part of it. Obviously, London, that's just unbelievable at that position to do it as long as he's done it."
Giants quarterback Eli Manning is the next-closest player to Witten and Fletcher. Manning has started 149 consecutive games, which is just behind Witten's streak.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
Q: I've heard of an elaborate 1920s house on a downtown rooftop. Is it for realA: The New Story building at 6th Street and Broadway (one critic called it a "magnificent white pile") was built in 1910 by tycoon Walter P. Story, a Montana real estate developer, railroad owner, socialite, and former military man. He plopped a pied-à-terre atop his namesake ten-story high-rise, outfitting it with intricate gardens and servants' quarters. Story died in 1957, and his lavish penthouse has been empty and unused for decades.

Hi! My name is also Kim. I will be 40 this year. I've recently found SP and it just occured to me to look for this group. Your thread title caught my attention.
I was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse in elementary school. I was assured that this would only become a problem in my 60's. And that medical advancements might make surgery uneccesary.
My MVP was never an issue. I took antibiotics at the dentist and that was it. I married, had two children and lived my life.
At age 28 I had to have a full work up with my cardiologist before my hysterectomy. Even then I was told I'd be ok until I was in my 60's.
Fast forward --2010 I'm 37 and feeling pretty bad. My weight is too high but I have no energy or motivation. I grow weaker and more worn out. I have constant "cold" symptoms.
It honestly did not occur to me that this was related to my heart. I was going to the walk in clinic about once a month. In Nov 2010 I had an echocardiogram.
I could tell by the tech's reactions and questions that something was *off*. He explained that I DID NOT have MVP, instead it was aortic stenosis--pretty severe. and an aortic aneyurism!
My walk in clinic dr was not very helpful and I had to be very aggressive about getting to a cardiologist. But I did. By January I was meeting with a surgeon.
I *could* wait to deal with this but my symptoms would get worse pretty fast. I hoped I would be able to have a non invasive surgery. That did not happen.
Jan 24, 2011 I go in for full OPEN HEART surgery. The plan is to replace my valve with a ST. Jude artificial valve and repair the aneyurism.
It took 6-7 hours but it was "textbook perfect" according to the Dr. We expected 3 days in ICU, it was only 24 hours. I believe they thought I would be in the hospital about 10 days but I was able to leave on Friday afternoon.
So that's some background on me. Let me say that you WILL feel soo much better afterward.
All of your running and cardio will benifit you greatly. It's a BUMP, not the end of this road. It's very likely that you will start cardiac rehab within weeks of surgery. They will teach you how to build your endurance back up.
I would say that it was about six months from surgery and I was better than before.
It IS scarey, and there is pain but improves the quality of your life.
Happy to answer any questions
Kim, Sorry your BAV has made it hard to keep your regular workouts and you have to cut down on your running. Your valve replacement surgery will make you feel so much better and you should be able to get back to your regular routine as you heal. God's blessings to you.
Giving God the glory each day for the all the bounty in my life
Co-Leader Spark Wisconsin-The Official Team
Co- Leader Healthy Hearts
Hi everyone. My name is Kim and I'll be 50 in Feb. I've known I've had a bicuspid aortic valve since I was around 25 but I was given the impression at that time it was really nothing to worry about and that many people walk around with it and don't even know it.
2 years ago I started getting serious about losing weight and exercising. I joined a local fitness center and I lost 30 lbs and even ran in 4 different 5K's. I've felt better than I have in years. I especially enjoyed running. Last year however I started feeling pain in my chest and shortness of breath. I also feel like blacking out on a regular basis.
I found out through my cardiologist that my BAV has progressed and I also have regurgitation where the blood flows back into my heart. He told me from this point on I'm only soposed to keep my heart rate no higher than 130 and I can not lift anything that will cause me to strain. He also said that I will be needing a heart valve replacement in the comng future. That part will depend on how quickly it continues to weaken.
This totally took the wind right out of my sails. This means I am not soposed to run anymore. It means I have to back off of alot of the exercise that I helped me get to where I finally felt good about myself.
I'm working with a trainer to try and find a happy medium in all this and I do confess that I do still run a little. At one point I was up to 8 miles of running/walking and I know that is out of the question. But I still run up to a mile. Then I walk and feel guilty and then I'm in tears the rest of the way. I don't want to be stupid about all of this. But it's like a tug of war for me right now.
I will be seeing my cardiologist in March and will find out if the surgery will be in the near future or if I'll be rechecked again later.
I'm so glad to have found this group and it's helpful to know I'm not alone.

Interactivity, and not just technological interactivity, may be the secret to getting patients engaged. Doing is infinitely more interesting than being talked at or just handed information. That's why we do science experiments in school. Theory is one thing but seeing an idea in action, and being a part of that action, makes the concepts so much more concrete. Making the action fun just adds to the chances of success. That's why nursery rhymes and the ABC song have been used as learning tools for decades.

The High Cost of the Sweet Life
As we move toward digital health and digital payments, the relationships between spending, environment, and other health determinants are becoming clearer, including the choices we make at any moment. Things that influence behavioral choices are often the social determinants of health, the cultural and economic contexts (including geography) of our day-to-day decisions.
HIMSS Rocks the Global Center for Health Innovation
The Global Center for Health Innovation opened for business last October in Cleveland, Ohio, but will officially open to the general public this October. The futuristic glass structure, designed by LMN Architects of Seattle, comprises four floors and 235,000 square feet of space. The Global Center is adjacent to Cleveland's new underground Convention Center, also designed by LMN. Jointly, they hope to attract more healthcare-themed conferences and exhibits to Cleveland.
Looking Through the Google Glass
I'm impressed by the number of big-name health systems that are giving Google Glass a test drive. It's also interesting to note the diversity of applications, from telehealth, education, remote consults, and EMR access. By the time HIMSS15 rolls around next April I am sure we'll have a clearer idea of which vendors have figured out the formula for success. But please… don't be a Glasshole!

Will Satisfaction Survey Fatigue Impact Provider Compensation?
According to The Medical Group Management Association, about three percent of primary care physician pay and 2.31 percent of specialty physician was tied to patient satisfaction in 2013. That's a relatively small portion but as provider compensation continues to shift from fee-for-service to reimbursement models based on outcomes, patient satisfaction will no doubt factor more heavily. As more providers jump onto the patient satisfaction survey bandwagon, satisfaction survey fatigue may rise to an all-time high. The exception, of course, will be unhappy patients, since disgruntled consumers tend make time to voice their complaints.
The Difference Between Patient-Centered Care and Patient Satisfaction
If you must pick one area to focus on, focus on patient-centered care over patient satisfaction. Perhaps it's because I have always worked in the clinical setting that I believe good clinical care can trump, or at least balance, parts of an experience that are less satisfying. Healthy patients equal happy patients and I feel they, like me, would be more willing to compartmentalize different aspects of the care experience. Because they are treated like individuals and listened to by their clinicians, they'll be less likely to give an overall poor satisfaction score if something, like scheduling, goes amiss. And let's not forget that despite how health care has changed over the years, good health outcomes are really what it is all about.
What is Health IT Literacy?
Healthcare has many components and, ultimately, the most essential elements are delivering high quality care in a timely and efficient manner. In the middle of this is you – the patient. Understanding what is healthy is core to health literacy. Understanding how your data is collected, stored, used, and exchanged is central to health IT literacy. We need to raise our health standards for both healthcare and health IT literacy, and this will take a community and your active participation.

NEW LEBANON, N.Y. -- The animal control officer in New Lebanon handling the case of Kobe, the missing alligator, says they have found the reptile.
New Lebanon Animal Control Officer Wes Powell says Rhonda's Reptiles, a reptile rescue business in the town, lost the three-foot American alligator on August 22nd when Kobe got out of his cage.
According to Powell, the owner retrieved the gator from a local pond after someone tipped her off it may be in the water.
Kobe's owner, Rhonda Leavitt, put him in a temporary cage while she cleaned his permanent one, something she says is done hundreds of times.
Leavitt says she believes her pet was stolen while she was cleaning out the alligator's cage. She says this has been a stressful experience to say the least and will be taking extra security measures.
"I will have cameras all over my property. All the
animals will be microchipped. It will not happen again," she said.
Police say there is a person of interest and charges are pending.

Your children and students surf the web. It is inevitable and inescapable. With all of the technological devices they have within their reach today, it is essential that children are taught how to surf the web safely in school and at home, and understand the dangers and deceptions of being online. Learn why and how you should talk to your children and students about surfing safely and gain some additional tips and tricks to try at home and in your classroom.
Safety First-Why it's Crucial to Teach Your Kids About the Dangers of the Internet
Things have changed drastically from the days you were a child and teen. Today, nearly all children subscribe to social media or have viewed a social media site like Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. Most children are on the computer an average of 5 hours a day for school work, enjoyment, or communication purposes. While kids enjoy reading statuses, viewing images, and posting comments on their friends or followers pages; the last thing they consider is that someone they have never met and barely know is stalking them online.
According to internet safety facts and statistics from Teens & Social Media (Pew Internet & American Life Project), 39% of teens who upload pictures limit what can be seen by outsiders most of the time, whereas 21% never restrict photo access to strangers. This is a serious issue. In fact, many children have come across sexual images or videos online that they didn't wish to see while doing research or getting homework help, and may have even been approached online by a stranger at one time or another. Most victims are teens, but it is never too early to discuss the dangers of the internet with your elementary school children.
How to Get Your Children to Use the Internet Safely
Now that you are aware of some of the dangers of surfing the web, you can take steps to safeguarding your children. These five steps can be implemented at home or in school and can be taught as young as Kindergarten.
1. Don't Assume Anything
Sit with your children or students and show them how to properly type in a URL address or utilize a search engine. Many parents assume today that their child knows how to visit pages or conduct a search because they have done it in school, when in fact, this is where and how students accidentally come into contact with inappropriate content.
2. Limit Navigation
There are numerous excellent internet site blockers that can be purchased online or in stores that will assist the process of blocking inappropriate sites and search engine topics. Nearly all school districts have safety devices already programmed into their computer systems, making it extremely difficult for mishaps to happen.
3. Something Inappropriate? Shut It!
Despite excellent internet site blockers at home and in school, ads and inappropriate images sneak through from time to time. Its best to teach young children and students that if any kind of image pops up on their computer to quickly shut the lid and raise their hand for their teacher to check it out, or for a parent to examine the content at home before resuming work online.
4. Do Not Talk to Strangers. Period.
This may seem like an obvious safety rule, but parents and teachers would be surprised at how children and teens can get sucked into the mystery of communicating with strangers. If you have not spoken to your child or students about this rule already, you need to immediately. Encourage your children at home to inform you of any unusual conversations or friend request online as soon as contact is made.

Providence Holy Cross to Display Student Art [1]
The Art of Healing Grand Art Display will feature the talents of local young artists from the Sulphur Springs School District.
The Art of Healing community art program collected more than 140 pieces of artwork from elementary school children as young as 4 years old. Children in the Santa Clarita Valley were invited to submit their creations to the Art of Healing with the chance to win a one-year scholarship to SCV-Arts. All the submitted artwork will be unveiled, and 16 art pieces will be chosen as winners to be displayed on the walls of the Providence Holy Cross Health Center for the next 3 months. All submissions will be displayed during the event. This community art program was a joint collaboration between Providence Holy Cross and SCV-Arts, and is sponsored by KHTS AM-1220 and Mercedes Benz of Santa Clarita.
Come to the opening of the display on Saturday, November 11th from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Providence Holy Cross Health Center at McBean Parkway at Valencia Boulevard, on the first floor.
Art, no matter the format, can be used as a method of healing for the artists, visitor and patient alike. The program will enhance the arts for Santa Clarita youth and local artists, stablish a venue to display their art and provide an opportunity for child artists to receive scholarships. More importantly, the displayed art will help the healing process for thousands of Providence Holy Cross patients and visitors.

Negative Experience
Travel Research Apprentice Interview (Negative Experience)
I applied online and interviewed at American Express.
Interview Details – I interviewed for an entry level Travel Research Apprentice positions with American Express. After successfully completing two phone screens with five people (which took over 3 months), I was invited to meet with a manager and a team leader at the New York headquarters. My excitement at the prospect of launching my career at AmEx quickly faded as the experience was awful. The man who interviewed me was clearly unprepared and his comments were contradictory. As I am a recent college graduate, he kept mentioning my lack of experience (for this entry level position) and at the same time he said the position had previously been filled by an intern. After the interview this manager said I would hear something within two weeks, but many more weeks passed without any follow-up with a hiring decision. It was only after I placed a call to the office that I received a decline e-mail. There was nothing constructive or respectful about this process and based on my experience I can't believe their treatment of employees is any better.
Interview Question – The interview was very poorly organized, and I was asked the same questions over and over again in the three interviews. Answer Question
Interviews for Top Jobs at American Express

Ensure that your ductwork is sealed. You don't want your heating system to pull in air from dusty or moldy places.
Remake your bedroom. Dust mites love it there. Washing their bedding habitat in hot water kills them, but their larvae live on, requiring weekly washing.
Ban outside agitators. Falling leaves are full of mold spores, so wear a mask when raking and shower afterward.
Suck the life out of mold. Moisture means mold, so correct any water damage in the home.
Life with plants. When you bring your plants in to overwinter, their mold spore friends are coming along.

Now Ex-NFL player Aaron Hernandez has been indicted for a double homicide from back in 2012.
The former New England Patriots tight end was suspected in being involved with the deaths of Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and Safiro Teixeira Furtado when he was first charged with the murder of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, but now has been formally indicted.
The shooting of the two men occurred outside Cure nightclub in Boston in July 2012. Surveillance footage shows Hernandez and another man entering the club right after the victims did and almost immediately leaving.
Despite not having any reason to remain in the immediate area, Hernandez's vehicle was seen passing by the victims twice when they left nearly two hours later. The one survivor in the shooting said an SUV pulled up next to their car and then opened fire, reports WCVB.
Hernandez was immediately dropped by the New England Patriots two days after being questioned in connection to the Odin Lloyd case. He pleaded not guilty, but was indicted for murder by a grand jury on August 22, 2013.

4. We believe that apathy and resentment are nowpread ln Cuba. But while apathy and resentment mightlicate Castro's problems, they do nothreat to him or his regime. In short, we believe that Castro, with Blocertain amount of Free World help,s likely to weather his present difficulties. Be Is also likely to intensify his subversive activities ln Latin America, where the fragilo political situation Increases the potential of his limited subversive capabilities.
6. /in sum, our present policy can be characterized as one of low risk and low return: we are unlikely toirect confrontation with the USSR or to engender political strains with allied or neutraln tho other hand, we are still far from accomplishing our objectives of toppling the Castro repime and of eliminating Castro's subversive efforts against friendly Latin American regimes. This is not to sayontinuation of our present policy will not resulturther deterioration In Castro's-position; It is to say that under our present policynight be able to hang on for several years. During this time, through Castro's example or through his direct efforts, our own efforts in Latin America will bo vastly complicated or even neutralized.
Possible Future Courses of Action
6. Since it appears that current US programs at their present levels are not likely, barring unforeseen events suchs the sudden death of Castro, to result in the earlyof the Castro/Communist regime, it would seem timely, to examine what additional covert and overt measures can be taken to quicken the pace of events. The possible future courses of action which follow are less risky than either an invasion or blockade, but would probablyubstantially higher "noise level" and risk of confrontation with the Soviets than those presently in effect.
A. Covert Actions
.7. The current covert action program, if permitted to operate at the pace originally envisioned, will come
.to making maximum use ofpolicy

However, hazardous operational and concern over the'political

8. Two courses of action together with their advantages and disadvantages are submitted for consideration::
a. Relaxation of the present policy banning

Actions uncontrolled by US both as to timing and selection of targets, possibly striking at Soviet vessels and Installations.
US Government would be charged with complicity since American territory being used as base. . *
b. Authorization to conduct
air strikes against selected major economic targets such as the power plants and oil refinerle
ame as for a, above and, in addition, would caus> major damage to tho Cuban economy.
ame as for a. above and, in addition, could causa revulsion against Cuban exiles and possibly US if target missed and sizeable number of Innocent people killed.
B. Overt Actions by Other US Agencies Supported by CIA as appropriate
he main emphasis of overt US programs against Castro fia to complete the economic, political andIsolation of Cuba from Latin America and tbe free world ^nd to build defenses against Castro/Communistin Latin America. These measures have been largely responsible for Castro's current economic distress,dditional effective economic warfare measures could be taken. These are cited below together with their advantages and disadvantages. ,
a. President Johnson could issue an early policy declaration on Cuba making clear that tbe US continues to
elements in the armed forces to carryoup.
Vould leave no doubt in minds of dissident Cuban military elements that anti-Castro efforts have the official blessing of the US Government.
Wouldalutory effect on those Latin American leaders who haveillingness toositive US lead ln taking more forceful action against Castro.
Statement would have favorable effect on anti-Castro Cuban population and exile community andhem to Intensify resistance against Castro regime.
ight be considered to Involve the President too directly in operational matters.
b. By an Interplay of diplomatic pressure and political warfare to cause the Kremlin to conclude that Cuba hadiability and disengagement would be ln the best Soviet interest. The President and biscould place the Soviets on notice via diplomatic channels and in private confidential discussion that US rapprochement with Castro is excluded from consideration, and that the existence of the Castro regimeerious impediment to detente with the USSR, The US could offer to assist the Soviets inacesaving way to withdraw gracefullywithout serious long-term damage to its prestige.
The advantages of inducing the" USSR to disengageare
Soviets might attempt to engage the US in protracted
diplomatic negotiations with US bargaining concessions ln
Cuba for US concessions on other critical issues such as
Berlin, Bast-West trade, etc.
c. Thera la etill considerable opportunityightening the economic noose around Castro. More severe US sanctions against countries that trade with or ship to Cuba could be Imposed. We are particularly concerned with the current trade and shipping practices of Canada, the UK, Spain and Japan.
. '.
Forces greater dependence on the Soviet Bloc with consequent Increased drain on Soviet resources.
Increased economic chaos leading to greaterfor coup and increased disaffection on part Cuban population.
Probable adverse public and official reaction from free world and other countries affected by US economic sanctions and pressures.
Practical difficulties in applying sanctions,against friendly countries, might prove embarassing
to the United States.
a longterm basis, forcing Cuba IntoIntegration with the Soviet Bloc would notfor the US if other measures doreates permanent satellite).;
Seek to obtain OAS endorsement for blanket authority under tbe Rio Treaty to search and seize selected Cuban and OAS member registry vessels at will, to include the use of force if necessary. The ostensible purpose of this measure will be to quarantine covert arms, equipment and personnel shipments from Cuba to Latin America. In fact, -however, those actions would be designed to humiliate Castro at borne and abroad and to infuriate and provoke him into Irresponsible actions which the US, if it so desired, could use as Justification for more forceful measures against Cuba.
n addition to advantages implied in the text above, it would have favorable psychological effect on Cuban leaders and people, demonstrating firm OAS position against Castro regime.

s. OAS-wide or bilateral agreements with Latin American governments could be negotiated for joint measures, to detect and prevent arras smuggling by land, sea, or air into Latin America. Because of tbe urgency of the threat, Venezuela and Colombia should be given first priority.

Psychological defeat for Castro ln Latin America.
Would demoralize and weaken revolutionary elements
in Latin America.
Measure is mainly defensive and does little to hasten removal of Castro.
Might Involve risk of Soviet retaliation in Berlin, or elsewhere.
In Conclusion
10. The courses of action suggested above will increase Castro's problems and might thereby hasten his downfall. To the extent that these actions have genuine OAS support and participation, they will bc that much more effective. In tbe last analysis, however, there are only two courses which would eliminate the Castro regime at an early date: an invasionomplete blockade. Both of these actions would resultajor crisis between the US and the USSR (in Cuba and/or Berlin) and would produce substantial strains in the fabric of US relations with otheras well as neutral. reater extent than ln any of the courses discussed above, OAS support would bo important, if not critical, in reducing the risks and in Increasing the practical and political effect of an Invasionlockade.Original document.

I have added the first promotional image from season 2, will edit when we have a HQ version.
Edited with HQ, thanks to Far Far Away.

While October 2 may still be a while away, it's never too early to start looking forward to the season 2 premiere of "Reign" … right? We certainly feel that way, which is why we have the attached video below featuring star Toby Regbo.
While production is still too much in the early going for there to be any substantial scoop on what is coming up story-wise, we do at least have a few general pieces of information via Regbo below. Specifically, he starts off by explaining where Mary and Francis were at the start of the series, which is a significant departure from where the two are now. They made significant process towards being the right sort of rulers by the end of the first season, and that has us where the two are today.
Of course, the story is not anywhere near over for the time being. For one, the new season is going to expand the world outward more than anything we've seen just yet, and Mary and Francis are not going to be alone in combating many of the threats that lie ahead. The most prominent one, at least to us, is the beast otherwise known as the plague. This is a grave danger that could mean death for almost everyone we know, and it's the sort of evil that cannot be contained or fully stopped. Remember the time period here!
Ultimately, "Reign" season 2 should bring you everything you want and then some … including more mature versions of the main characters.
We have a fantastic new design by Vintage Dreams, let us know what you think.
Welcome back to Toby Regbo Online! I am Vicki the original owner of the site and am trying to get the site back on track, currently I have added Comic-Con images but please check for more updates =]

Toby Regbo is ready to rule your heart on The CW drama "Reign." We love a guy who feels comfortable rocking old school garb. (Men in tights are way underrated.) We're hoping to see Toby don some on the series, which kicks off this week. By the way, he happens to be this week's Hump Day Hottie.
Check out this dreamy photo of Toby, and keep reading for more details about him!
ital stats: The 21-year-old hails from London. And, even from a young age, Toby pursued an acting career, performing in school plays. He also attended the Young Blood Theatre Company.
Where you might have already seen him: Before landing on the CW, Toby appeared in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1" as Young Dumbledore. His other notable roles include the TV mini-series "The Town," "Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You," "Treasure Island" and "One Day."
Why you should take notice of him now: On "Reign," he's set to play Prince Francis, one of the suitors that the show's leading lady, Mary, Queen of Scots (played by Adelaide Kane), is torn between. The historical drama will plant Mary in the middle of a love triangle with Francis and his brother, Bash (played by the equally dishy Torrance Combs). Who will she pick? Well, we can't wait to tune in and find out.
In addition to "Reign," he's slated to appear alongside Angelina Jolie in "Maleficent."
Until next week, when we choose another Hump Day Hottie, you can salute Toby by gawking at the photo above!

The 'Mighty Marvel Superheroes' Cookbook' (1977) Will Teach You to Make a Sandwich
A while back, ComicsAlliance brought you a look back at the 1976 Mighty Marvel Strength & Fitness Book, in which the kids of the '70s were invited to slim down with exercises like the "Torchie Twist." It's hardly the only strange piece of strange Marvel ephemera from the era, though, and apparently it did its job so well that by the next year, it was time to fatten up those kids all over again with The Mighty Marvel Superheroes Cookbook!Featuring the art of Joe Giella — who also illustrated Strength & Fitness and who currently handles art chores on the meddlesome Mary Worth — the Mighty Marvel Cookbook features pages upon pages of recipes that are only vaguely tied into the super-heroes. A lot of them actually look pretty tasty, but there are plenty that are extremely dubious. I mean, writing a cookbook for kids is one thing, but when you count "make a sandwich" as a recipe, you've crossed the line into sheer insanity.
Dr Strange instant eatery!

The Impact Of Overconfidence Bias And Disposition Effect On The Volume Of Transaction And The Volatility Of The French Stock Market
AbstractThe volume of transaction varies according to several factors. Of a point of view of the behavioural finance, a high level of this last can be assigned to a phenomenon of overconfidence or a disposition effect. This paper studies these two phenomena as well as the one of the asymmetry of the volatility on the French stock market. The objective of this paper is to introduce explanations of the behavioural finance in the sources of variation of the transaction volumes. The adopted methodology is based on VAR analyses, T-GARCH regressions and time series regressions.

It Ain't Over
BY Robert Hilferty
March 17 2008 12:00 AM ET
Opera queens are
gay men who love opera and worship divas, dead or alive.
They memorize historic performances, know all the high
notes, mimic the mad scenes, and relish in backstage
But divas who are
simultaneously gay icons -- the way Barbra Streisand
and Judy Garland are in the pop world -- are far and few
between. Maria Callas is prime example, an artist
whose Will to Divadom trumped any shortcomings in her
voice, and whose life turned as tragic as that of any
of the heroines she played. She sacrificed herself for her
art, like Tosca, and her turbulent passion cut through
your ears directly to your heart, inevitably seared in
the process.
Gay men idolized
and identified with Callas in a time when the almighty
closet ruled. Terrence McNally penned a famous play in her
honor, Master Class, and Franco Zeffirelli, who
directed her in opera, also made a movie about her
called Callas Forever. There are countless
examples from other gay artists of lesser status.
Nowadays gay men
flock to another American soprano, Deborah Voigt. The
47-year-old, one of the world's leading dramatic
sopranos, has somehow become a gay icon, a notion that
she's aware of but didn't cultivate herself.
She far outruns figures like Marilyn Horne and Jessye Norman
who've come close to the lavender lair, but no banana.

You know I didn't use to have these limiting beliefs until I moved back to the small hometown that I came from. Ever since i did that I have been subjected to a lot of small town beliefs that are hurting me and I need to flesh these out and hear from guys regarding how true this stuff is.
I have some limiting beliefs regarding my age
1) I'm too old to relocate
At 31 years old my coworkers, family, and even some friends are telling me that it's time to settle down, maybe go back to school so I can make more money, and stay put. When I bring up moving to a city where there is more options and actions or going to a island or beachtown tourist area to make some quick cash they are telling me that my time has passed for a descent shot at that stuff, that the job competition is too thick for me at my age, that at my age it will be hard to start over on my own or form social networks. Not only that but Im starting to question my own energy levels at this point too and I know I can't rely on looks to get a good service job as much as I could before in these tourist area's.
2) I'm too old to be a player
A lot of people in this small town keep giving me feedback that I need to grow up, need to settle down, need to committ to a girl and date and stuff and stop chasing this silly dream of dating a bunch of women, not comitting easily, ect. They basically are saying I need to settle for being a provider at this point, which is a bit intimidating since I can't provide all that much on a superficial level right now. People are basically telling me to grow up and dress and act my age.
3) Dating younger women won't lead to anything
Those that realize that it's possible for someone my age to have sex with or see girls that are much younger, still seem to feel that none of those girls will really take me seriously for anything coming out of it. It would be a fling and that's it, nothing more. I don't have the correct social group aspects or social proof to keep them entertained enough or to hold my own, and I'm too old to be competing with the younger guys in bars and clubs.
So these are all things I've basically been being spoon-fed by friends, family, and society in this small town for a while now and I am starting to think like them. Are they right? Do I need to re-evaluate my strategies here, find a way to meet women that is more realistic and down to earth? I don't know like go back to school get a quality career going and meet women with similar interests as a part of my life, act more my age, dress more my age, stop giving off the player vibe ect?
I don't know ... what do you guys think?

Growth, Competition and Political Stability in China
AbstractA highly successful investment- and export-led growth strategy has positioned China as the second largest economy and as the largest exporter in the world. Households' consumption has played a minor role in its growth strategy, which is reflected in its unique and very high saving rates. In this paper we argue that the low weight of consumption in total expenditure is the result of the pervasiveness of the state in the economy, which aimed at impairing the growth of middle classes and,therefore, at preserving political stability. Nonetheless, an increase in purchasing power and the cultural individualisation of vast portions of the population is leading to an increase in popular mobilisation and social unrest. This indicates that, contrary to common pessimist analyses, prospects for democratization are perhaps stronger than usually presumed.

Disclosure Quality and the Excess Value of Diversification
AbstractFor a sample of U.S. firm years from 1980 through 1996 we document a positive association between the excess value of diversification as defined by Berger and Ofek [1995] and security analyst ratings of voluntary disclosure as developed by the Association for Investment Management and Research. We also examine an alternative proxy for disclosure quality that captures the degree of segment disaggregation and document a positive association between this measure and excess value. Our results are robust to controls for firm performance and information environment. Taken together, these phenomena suggest that disclosure plays a monitoring role in disciplining management's investment decisions. However, tests of the association between disclosure and the value of firms' investment spending yield mixed results.

Rating Feedback for Dr. Pousti (2036216)
The rating:
'Had breast Enhancement in 07'. 6 months later 1 breast looked ok and the other implant was still up super high!!! He gave me a huge refund gap!!! (major space between breasts) I was unhappy w the job because of how god awful high the implant was so he did a revision surgery and put in a new implant and manually dropped the implant. Well he put in the wrong size implant by 75cc's!!! Looks awful!!! Never went back to him!'
I am sorry you feel you had such a bad experience but I find it hard to believe he made a 75cc mistake as he marks the breast quite clearly in purple ink and the surgery staff double check everything. After 5+ years, I trust you resolved your problem.

I bought a new Highland Emmert repro vise on craigslist so of course I needed to make a bench for it. I did not need another bench but they are fun to make. Also I had a better idea of what I wanted for drawers -shelf-stop on top and tray. Top is hard maple-drawer faces and panels are Big leaf maple and frame is walnut. the 2 woods in stop are unknown. It has a larger top then old bench but it seems so much smaller. Looking forward to using vise and bench. One more vise to install when it gets here and a few holes to drill but it is a user now.

TiltShift Video is a great option for giving your photos and videos that miniaturized effect, but adds more work than necessary without key features.
Pricing not available
TiltShift Video is top notch for its intended purpose, but it needs more features to be a great app.
For sheer typing responsiveness, the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad Air is still a pro. But, even with its new tilt-angle design, it's no longer quite as unique as it used to be.
The Paradigm Shift E3m is a fine-looking, beautifully built in-ear headphone, but the admirable design elements don't offset its mediocre sound.
Instagram for Android users have been without the tilt-shift effect from the very beginning. A recent update has finally added the sought-after effect, bringing it in line with Instagram on iOS.
Instead of "shrinking" a photography subject with special effects, design studio creates a massive 20:1 euro cent coin to make a subject appear small in comparison.

Maingear's Shift is the boutique vendor's new flagship gaming PC. It brings almost everything we expect to find in such a system, from expert craftsmanship to fast overclocking to a case that makes a statement. We found a few minor sticking points, but, on the whole, this PC sits comfortably alongside the top tier of luxury gaming boxes, and we recommend it if you have the means.
For those who crave a physical keyboard, the HTC Evo Shift 4G is a solid choice with a more wallet-friendly price than its 4G competitors, and it doesn't sacrifice too many features.
The HTC Shift's small size raises some usability issues, and its battery life doesn't match what we'd expect from such a portable device. However, our primary complaint about the Shift is its remarkably high price.
