We've already examined the most popular puppy names of 2012, but just finding out which names we're most likely to hear at the dog park wasn't quite enough. We wanted to look at which monikers were on the rise, so we dug a little deeper to determine the 10 trendiest names of 2012.
To do so, we hit up Vetstreet's data, which includes information about 1.26 million dogs. We looked at where the names were in 2003 and 2012; those that moved up the most made the list. Of course, some names fell off the list completely in the past decade — Elvis, Ozzie and Cassie among them. Some of these were replaced by newer names like Thor and Athena that, despite a late entry to the Top 100, have become popular enough that they, too, were included. [See Also: 10 Least-Trendy Dog Names]
Dexter rose in popularity the most of all male dog names, starting at No. 99 in 2003 and landing at No. 25 in 2012.
Luna's rise in popularity was even more meteoric, also beginning at No. 99 in 2003 and rising to No. 19 last year.
Although Thor didn't even appear on the Most Popular list back in 2003, it climbed to No. 27 in 2012, after making the list for the first time in 2010. Not coincidentally, the movie Thor came out in 2011, and the main character in that movie also starred in last year's top film, The Avengers.
Layla, at No. 37, might not have box office stats to compare to Thor, but it's also risen quickly, cracking the Top 100 in 2004 and hitting No. 37 last year.
Gunner first came on our radar in 2004, and ever since then, it's climbed in popularity, ranking now at No. 28.
Piper, which now holds the No. 42 spot, broke into the Top 100 in 2006 and quickly gained steam.
Bentley is a star on the rise, joining the Top 100 in 2002 and hitting No. 7 last year. It's been one of the Top 10 male dog names for the past three years.
Nala, a name from one of our favorite animated films, The Lion King, was the No. 25 most popular name last year, after first making the Top 100 back in 2003.
At No. 35, Jax isn't one of the most popular names, but it's moved up the ranks quickly considering it wasn't in the Top 100 until 2009. One interesting tidbit: The name Jackson has declined over the past five years, and this is the first time Jax has earned a more popular spot than its longer counterpart.
Stella made the Top 100 for the first time back in 2001 and hit No. 22 last year. Could the adorable Frenchie on Modern Family have something to do with the name's rise in popularity?
Ace first made the Top 100 in 2003. It rose to No. 31 in 2012, perhaps due to the recent trend of owners choosing old-school human nicknames for their pets.
Willow, hitting the Top 100 in 2009, has made quite the impression, rising to No. 59 last year.
Leo, the 30th most popular name overall, made the Top 100 list for the first time in 2001 and has been climbing up the chart ever since.
Maya joined the Top 100 list back in 2005, rising to No. 60 by 2012.
Although it may seem like an established and stately name, King, the No. 51 name, didn't break into the Top 100 until 2006, making it a relative newcomer.
Athena is an even more recent addition to the list of popular names, joining the Top 100 in 2010 and rising sharply over the last couple of years, hitting No. 62 in 2012.
Simba, currently No. 53, first became popular during the mid-nineties, thanks to The Lion King. It dropped out of the Top 100 in 2001, but came back in 2009, seeing a major surge in popularity over the past few years.
Traditionally a male dog name, Charlie has become a favorite for female dogs, joining the Top 100 in 2010.
Milo claimed the No. 17 spot in 2012, marking its first entrance into the Top 20.
Ella joined the ranks of the Top 100 in 2006 and has remained a prevalent pick since then, grabbing the No. 64 slot in 2012.

In the spring of 1970, a British illustrator named Ralph Steadman had just moved to America, hoping to find some work. His first call came from a small literary journal called Scanlan's. It was looking for a cartoonist to send to the Kentucky Derby. Steadman had heard of neither the race nor the writer he was to accompany, a fellow named Hunter S. Thompson.
Steadman hadn't read any of Thompson's work, and he certainly didn't know that the writer had a bit of a drinking tendency, but he agreed to go.

It's been 70 years since the letters of John Pryor were understood in their full meaning. That's because as a British prisoner of war in Nazi Germany, Pryor's letters home to his family also included intricate codes that were recently deciphered for the first time since the 1940s.
Pryor's letters served their purpose in World War II, as Britain's MI9 agents decoded the messages hidden within them — requests for supplies, notes about German activities — before sending them along to Pryor's family in Cornwall.

I have been working at RetailMeNot full-time (more than an year)
They treat their employees VERY well. Every perk you can imagine - they offer it...free meals, reimbursed cell phone, gym membership, parking provided or paid for. There is actually a full coffee bar with a barista. Rewards and contests are very generous - shopping sprees, trips, cash, etc... Plus there are international offices with exchange programs.
The smaller size of the company allows for direct interaction with other departments which fosters collaboration and team work. The lack of politics is very refreshing. You really feel everyone is playing their part and working together to make the company successful overall - rather than pitted against each other as I've seen in other companies.
The company is growing fast, so the opportunity for promotion and growth can be good in certain departments.
Good management team that is very open to new ideas and suggestions.
Hard work and long hours are expected. But as mentioned above, they reward you very well for your hard work.
Don't let the fast growth, increased size, and going public impact the culture and the way we do things.

Abstract ESSAYS ON EFFECTS OF THE HOUSING MARKET COLLAPSE by Catherine Lau Adviser: Professor David Jaeger The housing market collapse of 2008 had a number of economic effects. Chapter One addresses the history of the AAA financial guaranty insurance industry, which began in the 1980's, grew rapidly in the first few years of the 21st century, but ceased to exist following the housing market collapse. The factors that led to the industry's growth are explored, while the weaknesses that existed in its AAA façade all along are pointed out. This essay concludes that, while the collapse of the housing market was the immediate cause of the financial guaranty industry's downfall, any economic shock would have harmed this highly leveraged industry. Declines in home values over the past five years have affected many homeowners, decreasing their asset values, and leaving some with negative equity. Besides financial harm, high indebtedness may adversely affect health. Chapter Two looks at the research done to date on the effects of consumer debt and mortgage debt/foreclosure on health. Chapters Three and Four use different data sets to empirically test the effect of high mortgage loan to home value on a number of health outcomes. Chapter Three employs the Health and Retirement Survey (HRS), a rich, nationally representative sample of the population over 50 years of age and finds significant correlation between high mortgage loan to value and negative health outcomes. Changes in home values are used as an instrument variable to further identify the effect of loan to value on health; results are not conclusive of causality. Chapter Four uses the NLSY79 to explore the effect of mortgage debt on a younger cohort that, in comparison to the HRS, is more likely to rely on wage income and have lower net worth. Results point to higher loan to value in conjunction with unemployment as having a significant negative impact on health for this cohort, but higher loan to value alone does not significantly affect overall health. These results point to the need for greater financial literacy for homeowners and potential homeowners, given the more frequent spells of unemployment and the volatility in home prices. Further research with data post 2008 is needed to further test causality.
There is a large literature that documents a positive correlation between income and a variety of measures of good health. This correlation may reflect causality in both directions and may also reflect omitted "third variables" that are positively related to income and health. In my dissertation, I employ an exogenous negative shock to income due to a natural disaster to estimate the true causal impact of income on health. The shock I will use is Hurricane Katrina, which severely damaged counties in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana in August 2005. I use these treatment counties and a variety of alternative sets of control counties in a difference-in-differences (DD) research design. From the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System I obtain measures of income and health for residents of these counties before and after the date on which the hurricane struck. I estimate DD regressions in which income or health is the dependent variable to obtain the impact of the hurricane on each outcome in the treated counties net of other factors. I then use the interaction between an indicator for residents of the treatment counties and an indicator for the period after the hurricane struck as an instrument for income in a two-stage least squares regression of health on income. In the main empirical chapter of my dissertation, I focus on self-rated health status. In next chapter I examine body mass index and indicators for the presence of asthma, high blood pressure, and diabetes as other health outcomes.
Obesity is a serious public health issue, associated with increased risks of premature death, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, breathing problems, arthritis, reproductive complications, and other diseases. There are economic causes and consequences of overweight and obesity. Researchers have recently suggested that the inability of Body Mass Index to appropriately distinguish between body fat and non-body fat components may lead to inaccurate results when analyzing the economics of obesity. I use Percentage Body Fat, defined as Body Fat divided by the sum of Fat-Free Mass and Body Fat, as the primary measure of body composition. A growing body of literature explores the relationship between body composition and income in the United States. There are two views: (1) overweight and obesity lead to lower wages; and (2) low family income and low wages contribute to overweight and obesity. I study both relationships using a dataset comprised of the most recent years of data available in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. I find relatively larger effects of body composition on wage levels in Not Worth the Weight: The Relationship between Body Composition and Wages, and relatively smaller effects of family income on body composition in Poor Choices: The Effects of Family Income on Body Composition. In Not Worth the Weight, I hypothesize that the negative impact of body composition increases at higher wage levels because the associated positions require additional education and perhaps a slimmer figure. The results show that for women, the effects of body composition on wage levels are larger than for men, and a higher wage level is associated with a higher wage penalty for being overweight. Poor Choices is unable to prove that low family income has a significantly large impact on body composition. In The Heavy Cost of Healthcare: The Ex Ante Moral Hazard Effect of Health Insurance Possession on Body Composition, I use the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, augmented with state-level food and tobacco prices, in an attempt to prove there is ex ante moral hazard associated with the possession of health insurance such that the insured are more likely to be overweight or obese. I hypothesize that the effect is larger when an individual is covered by government health insurance and smaller when the individual is covered by private insurance. The analysis shows that the ex ante moral hazard effect is larger when Medicaid covers the individual. When I control for individual fixed effects as well as endogeneity, however, results are insignificant. Thus it is inconclusive whether insurance has an impact on body composition. I conclude with suggestions for future research and effective policies to combat the public health epidemic of overweight and obesity.
Health is dened as an individual's mental or physical condition and being healthy means to be free from illness or injury. Health is relevant to both the supply and demand sides of the national economy. On the demand side, consumers derive satisfaction from being healthy. Consumers purchase goods and services to improve their health but also engage in activities that impair health such as smoking or drinking too much. On the supply side, firms produce health care goods and services to meet the market demand for health care derived from consumers' demand for better health. In addition, health augments labor inputs since the healthier the population, the larger the labor force and the higher the marginal productivity of labor, as in fewer sick days. This dissertation is comprised of three essays related to the eect of social environments and economic incentives on health and health behaviors. The first essay examines whether whether immigrants converge towards natives' level of smoking prevalence with assimilation. Results show that assimilation is associated with a greater likelihood of being a smoker for immigrants from lower smoking countries relative to the U.S. and a lower likelihood of being smoker for immigrants from higher smoking countries. Differences in responsiveness to taxes or smoke free air laws cannot explain the convergence in smoking rates between immigrants from higher and lower smoking countries. The second essay examines the effect of mortgage debt on health. Homeownership in the U.S. is promoted through the use of nancing. These policies improve the liquidity of the housing market and make homeownership more aordable. But it also encourages greater consumption of mortgage debt. Using mortgage loan to value (LTV) as a proxy for financial stress, I show that homeowners with high LTVs are more likely to be in poor health. The third essay examines the eect of unemployment duration on health. I hypothesis that unemployment duration aects health through nancial stress. Results show that high mortgage loan to value is not signicantly correlated with most measures of poor health but when interacted with high home leverage is positively and signicantly correlated with poor health. However, I cannot rule out reverse causality given that those in poor health have a significant likelihood of having high LTV in the next period.
At first, a literature review of over 150 articles on the determination of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) proposes the main determinants of FDI. A meta-analysis tests the reliability of the previous studies on FDI. Then, a cluster analysis on FDI data reveals the necessary to segment economies, especially by income level, in FDI analysis. A large number of studies emphasize FDI determinants but ignore the income distribution on the results, which biases the estimates. In Chapter 3, I correct for heterogeneity due to income distribution by using the Blundell-Bond System GMM (Generalized Method of Moments), which controls for endogeneity problem as well. I categorize the countries according to their level of development: high, middle and low income. I further break down the middle income category into upper and lower segments. I consider level effects and various interactive effects. I find that income levels play a significant role in FDI determination model. Controlling for income levels corrects the sign and the magnitude of a number of estimates. In particular, results show that low income countries attract more FDI, ceteris paribus. This result is in stark contrast with the traditional consensus that capital flows to rich countries (Lucas 1990). Moreover, modeling income levels shows that lagged FDI has consistently positive effect on FDI, which is a dynamic model structure. Consistent with the literature, market potential and education boost FDI and results are robust to income levels. FDI increases with risk levels because during financial or economic crises it replaces other investments. Tax rates overall exert downward pressure on FDI, but mostly when the middle and low income levels are controlled for. This article also supports the Tariff Jumping FDI argument in middle and low income economies, according to which, FDI is a potential substitute for international trade. My results reject the hypothesis of the wealth effect of exchange rate, and there is weak evidence that the depreciation of local currency discourages FDI in particular in poorer countries. Results are stable for different specifications of income dummies (one intercept dummy, two intercept dummies, and slope dummies, etc).
Adviser: Professor Terence Agbeyegbe This dissertation comprises of three essays organized into three separate chapters on tail behavior and extreme dependence patterns, with each chapter focusing on a specific aspect of the financial markets in several East Asian countries. In chapter one, "Tail Behavior in East Asian Stock Index Returns and Foreign Exchange Rate Movements", I analyze the tail behavior of the daily stock index returns and foreign exchange rate movements of six East Asian economies: Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan. I use extreme value theory (EVT), in particular, the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD), to understand the probability of extreme events and estimate the level of fatness in the tails of stock index returns as well as foreign exchange rate returns. Empirically, I find that, whether stock index returns and currency movements of a country have fatter left or right tail is very country specific. And for countries in the same geographical region, the tails of the returns distribution do not behave similarly as often claimed in the literature. In chapter two, "Tail Dependence between Stock Index Returns and Foreign Exchange Rate Returns: A Copula Approach", I apply the concept of copula to model the dependence patterns, especially in the tail area, between stock index returns and foreign exchange rate returns for five East Asian economies: Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan. I first filter the raw returns series using AR(k)−GARCH(p, q) type models to make sure the probability integral transforms are i.i.d Uniform (0,1), and then I fit the resulting series to the copula models. Some major empirical findings are, for the two more advanced markets, namely Hong Kong and Singapore, there exists neither left nor right tail dependence between stock index returns and exchange rate returns for the period under examination. Two of the three emerging markets (Indonesia and South Korea) have much stronger left tail dependency than right tail dependency, indicating that the higher probability of double extreme loss than double extreme gain. Taiwan has symmetric tail dependence with similar right and left tail dependence coefficients. In chapter three, "Extreme Dependence across East Asian Financial Markets: Evidence in Equity and Currency Markets", I investigate pairwise extreme dependencies across regional financial markets by directly estimating the degree of tail dependence coefficients via unconditional and conditional copulas. I apply the two-step inference from the margins (IFM) method to model the extreme dependence patterns across stock markets as well as across currency markets. Empirically, I find significant asymmetric tail dependence in equity markets, with a larger left tail dependence coefficient than the right tail dependence coefficient. Mixed results are found for extreme co-movements in the foreign exchange markets. Extreme co-movements in the currency markets are much weaker, in several cases, with larger right tail coefficients. Using conditional copula, I also find significant changes in the degree of tail dependence for most of the equity pairs. These results serve as evidence that the degree of tail dependence in these stock markets changes over time, suggesting that these stock markets are in the process of becoming more integrated. In chapter four, "Summary of Findings", I summarize the empirical findings of this study and discuss the potential implications of these findings.
Abstract A SUMMARY OF SOME ESTIMATORS OF DYNAMIC PANEL DATA MODELS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS by Zhen Ma Advisor: Professor Michael Grossman This thesis consists of two chapters. Chapter one summarizes three estimators of dynamic panel data models: Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) with fixed effects, Wooldridge Conditional Maximum Likelihood (CML) with random effects and a Maximum Simulated Likelihood (MSL) random effects dynamic probit. Chapter two presents their applications and empirical findings. I examine the impact of the large price increases in cigarettes after the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) on drinking behavior using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). Alcohol consumption, drinking participation and heavy drinking participation (three or more drinks per day) are considered for the full sample, as well as for sub-samples stratified by age group and gender. Estimation results are relatively stable across estimators. I find that the cross-price effects of cigarettes on alcohol consumption are insignificant showing that averaging on all consumption levels, the number of drinks consumed per day is not affected by the increases in cigarette prices; and that the cross-price effects of cigarettes on drinking participation are mostly positive and significant, indicating drinking is an economic substitute for smoking; also, cigarette prices do not affect heavy drinking prevalence.
In this study, I estimate time-series demand functions using Ordinary Least Squares in order to examine the effects of real cigarette and alcohol prices on their respective consumption. My targeted population is high school seniors in the United States. The data I use come from Monitoring the Future, The Tax Burden on Tobacco, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Using the Ordinary Least Squares real price coefficients, I evaluate how much of the observed change in consumption is explained by the observed change in real price during a particular period of time between 1976 and 2008. Then, I repeat the same calculations for subsamples of male, female, white, and nonwhite high school seniors. Moreover, I incorporate a risk variable measuring whether or not subjects believe there is a great risk of harm when consuming cigarettes or alcohol in moderate or excessive quantities. Among high school seniors, my findings reveal that 73 percent of the observed decrease in cigarette consumption during 1997-2008, 28 percent of the observed decrease in alcohol consumption during 1989-1992, and 70 percent of the observed decrease in excessive alcohol consumption also during 1989-1992 are explained by increments in their respective real prices. The percentage of change in cigarette, alcohol, and excessive alcohol consumption explained by changes in their respective real prices remain substantial even after controlling for risk perceptions associated with these activities. Furthermore, greater awareness of the risks associated with smoking, drinking, and binge drinking strengthen the effect of real price on consumption.
Average daily turnover in FX markets were raised to $1.9 trillion in April 2004, a rise of 54% at current exchange rates and 36% at constant exchange rates. One of the reasons for such a strong growth in turnover is carry trading where investors borrow money in a currency with low interest rates in order to invest in a currency with higher interest rates. The first part of this thesis re-examines the relationship between the yen carry trade activity and the related financial variables. Although a recent study, employing structural vector autoregression methodology, finds that the U.S. stock market performance has a dominant impact in the activity of the speculative yen carry trade using monthly data, I illustrate that this finding is not robust when weekly data is introduced to the same methodology. Instead, I find that it is the fluctuations in the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar exchange rate, rather than the interest rate spread between the two countries and the U.S. stock market performance, that determines the direction of the yen carry trade. The second part of the thesis investigates the role of carry trade transactions on exchange rate behavior since these transactions change the supply and demand for currencies initiated by the opportunity to exploit interest rate differentials. The net position of speculators in different currency futures are used as an indicator for carry trade activity. By employing vector autoregression methodology, the results indicate that exchange rates react instantaneously to shocks in speculators' positions and Granger causality tests suggest that these positions lead to price discovery in the spot market for exchange rates. Furthermore, out-of-sample forecasts perform better than the random walk model for three of the five currencies in our sample based on root mean square and mean absolute error forecasting evaluation criteria. The last part investigates the dynamic lagged relationship between trading activity in currency futures and exchange rate volatility in the spot market using the net positions of trader in various currency futures markets. I use weekly high-low estimate of volatility, historical volatility, and conditional volatility from the GARCH (1, 1) process. The results point that in most cases while speculators and small traders in currency futures increase volatility in the corresponding spot markets, hedgers seem to decrease it as indicated by generalized impulse response functions. Also, in most of the cases, speculators' demand for futures increase in response to increased volatility in the spot market meanwhile hedgers' demand decrease.
The Indian economy has received considerable interest in economic research in the last decade. Economic liberalization, greater participation in world trade and the availability of long panel of firm level data has encouraged empirical work on the Indian economy. My research adds to this growing empirical literature on the behavior and performance of Indian firms post liberalization. This thesis comprises three chapters. In the first chapter, I provide a brief summary of reforms in India, review some of the papers analyzing firm behavior and performance and put it in the perspective of the liberalization process in India. The literature on Indian liberalization and on various aspects of firm behavior and performance is plentiful. I have limited my review to the papers which have influenced my research. In the second chapter, I analyze the relationship between financial constraints faced by the Indian manufacturing firms and their export participation decision. I find that the firms that enter the export market are financially healthier than the firms that cater only to the domestic market. I also verify that financial health is the cause and not a consequence of exports. In the last chapter, I address the relationship between firm size and its total factor productivity in the Indian manufacturing industries (co-authored with Prabal De). While small firms have the advantage of smaller and more flexible management and lower response time to market changes, larger firms have advantages of economies of scale, political clout and better access to government credits, contracts and licenses, particularly in developing countries. We find that small Indian firms are more productive than their larger counterparts.

Dick Harmon: BYU-ND Football — Timpview's Chris Badger may be Notre Dame's only LDS missionary
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Chris Badger faced armed robbers twice on his LDS mission in Ecuador — a world away from the life he lives today as a redshirt safety for the University of Notre Dame, where many believe he is the first and only football player to have served a Mormon mission.
One wonders if Fighting Irish coach Brian Kelly understands what Badger has been through and how to deal with a player who has been away for two years serving his church.
Kelly certainly will be in the thick of mission guys when BYU visits on Saturday. He's gotta know missions aren't trips where players go to spas or Gold's Gym.
The first time Badger was robbed on his mission, he and his companion, a native of Ecuador, were in a poor part of the city of Guayaquil at night. A couple of guys approached them, pulled out a gun and asked for all their money and cellphones. He only had a couple of bucks in his pocket, and he gave them up. "I don't have a cellphone, but I do have a book that is about God," Badger said he told one of the robbers. The man gave him back the money.
The second stickup occurred later when Badger and his companion were doing yard work as a service project. He was wearing Notre Dame gear and some brand-new Adidas shoes. "That's a no-no to wear new athletic shoes," he said. The bandits pulled out a gun and demanded money and his shoes. "I walked all the way home in my socks," he said.
While Badger is redshirting this season in South Bend, he's still been a focal point of many questions from his teammates. "They want to know what players I know on BYU's team." And, of course, he's always fielding questions about being a Mormon.
Working on Notre Dame's scout team this week, he's played the part of BYU safety Daniel Sorensen. "I've tried to give our offense a good look at what to expect from BYU," said Badger.
Badger was an all-state safety at Timpview and a key part of their state championship teams. He chose to go to Notre Dame because during his visit he was struck by the "Rudy" story and the hallowed football tradition, the Golden Dome and the legendary program.
His older brother Troy has been a mainstay in his development and helping him sort through recruiting. It was a process that included many camps; one was at Louisiana State University, where former BYU coach Gary Crowton was offensive coordinator and looking at Timpview teammate Xavier Suafilo. Crowton's interest in Suafilo widened to include Badger. That turned into an LSU offer, and Chris tucked that away with others from Notre Dame, Florida State University, University of Oregon, University of California and Stanford University.
"Even without off-the-chart numbers or natural talent, he showed that a kid that played hard, physical and smart could get a spot anywhere in the country," Troy Badger said.
"Chris was successful in high school because of his work ethic," continued his brother, who pushed him and supported him from his start at Park City, then at Timpview, where he played with BYU's Michael Alisa and Craig Bills.
His father, Dr. Rodney Badger, director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at the University of Utah, got former Utah safety Steve Tate involved with Chris at Timpview, and he's been a mentor ever since.
"Steve is cool. He's been where I want to be. He served a mission, started for three years at Utah, he's a playmaker and he's done a lot of great things," said Badger.
Tate calls Badger a blue-collar football player who works tremendously hard and isn't afraid of putting his nose in the fray. "He's got a great work ethic, good footwork. You can play him in the box and, like me, he likes to mix it up, blitz and make plays on the ball. He's a coachable guy, and you don't find that too much in high school these days, where many think they're entitled."

What to do if playing with obvious horrible player.
Ok so you join ranked game solo que, and everyone there is what seems like autistics children. They are not trolling, they are just bad. Or just in regular draft mode. I usually dodge que in reg, but i dodge like 10 ques a day and it wastes a lot of time. What can i do to deal with them or is it just worth it taking the chance of a ban dodging ques all the time? I don't think i should get in trouble for leaving a que because someone else is just sot errible the entire game will be ruined.
I will give an example.
I was playing Udyr jungle, our top was irelia, mid vladameir, bot Singed and ashe. This irelia in the first 15 min fed Renekton 8 kills. At this point i have ganked top multiple times, i have 6 kills 1 death. Now renekton rapes everyone, we lose every team fight. Ended up Me 6/2, singed 0/5, vlad 0/5, irelia 0/9, ashe 2/6.
Next game i join i get 2 people from the group i just had, singed and irelia.....
I leave que, 15 mi later join back same people in there. What do i do.....
Help your team. This can not be stressed enough. If you are doing so much better than them and can isolate their failures, tell them what they are. As long as they don't fly off the handle and rage at you (grounds for tribunals), you may see some improvement in their gameplay, helping you raise your ELO and such.
If you're still consistently better than your team, you'll eventually start gaining ELO (unless you queue dodge it away).
Well it depends on what your opposing team is like. If they're likewise filled with horrible people then whatever. But that's a digression. With regards as to what to do:
There are a couple options you can take to optimize your chances of success.
1. You can do the "hands off" approach. You basically ignore the crappy teammates. If they're 0/8 then they're not worth much gold anyways, so try to get them to hard-push a lane...this will at least keep your lanes pushed and force an enemy action...making the enemy predictable while you personally take the most tactically advantageous course of action...be it pushing, ganking or taking objectives.
2. Or you could try and train them or guide them...that really depends on who they are though.
ya normally if its a heavy feeder i have them push lanes seein as there worth less gold than the minions and the extra gold /exp can help them.
aura items FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! trust me

Top 5 of the week: Things with stars on them
A big fat star on a leather boot is the type of thing I might typically dismiss as being on the gimmicky side, but I'm loving these.
This sleeping mask amuses me for days.
You need to see this one up close to really appreciate the cuteness.
I like that this Jennifer Fisher 10K gold mini-charm has a little bit of a shooting star quality.
Golden Goose sneakers: crazy stupid pricey, and wickedly adorable.
Slideshow: 25 Rather Cute Holiday Gifts Under $50
Tuesday trifecta: Investment bags
What makes these worth shelling out for is that they are all classic but not boringly so, versatile enough to carry with most any outfit, and—most essentially—not going out of style any time soon. First up: Coach's Legacy Duffle, which I have been mildly obsessed for some time. The design is a few decades old, simple as the day is long, and its own version of absolute perfection.
Leather backpacks are tricky, tricky, and typically I only like them when they're very traditionally backpack-shaped. But the bucket bag silhouette here gives it both utility and the ability to be perfectly appropriate for work lunches.
I've always advised people who think they need a tote as a work bag to consider a satchel instead—they're just as roomy and practical and so much chicer. This one feels all natty and British to me. (Also, here's one I die for but will only link to because it exceeds the GOACA price limit).
In which I exercise restraint
J. Crew's having another of their 25% off of everything in the store* specials (just type in SHOPNOW at checkout) so on Friday I trekked on over to their Soho outpost and stocked up on socks and gloves. Not the sexiest shopping trip in recent memory, but possibly the most gratifying. I especially like my new glove/mittens (the Crew calls them "glittens,"; I can't).
I have made some especially egregious splurges lately, so I was committed to this being a trip for just essentials. But that didn't mean I couldn't have a look around. This collarless leather jacket reminds me so much of Agnes B when Agnes B was the rage.
A bib popover is such an easy shape, and the grey is nicely sophisticated.
With an oversized white button-down, red lips, and heels to the office Christmas party? Perfection.
*Except, it would appear, for Collection items.
Cheap and chic of the week
I bought the warmest coat I've ever owned, a Spiewak Snorkel Parka, back in my magazine days, after noticing it was what all the cool fashion editors who didn't give a damn about pulling a look wore to trudge around in the snow and the muck during fashion week every February. They don't make the exact model anymore*, but this version from Gap is as dead a ringer as you could hope to find.
*Although this one, also from Spiewak, comes close.
Fun with colorblock
Otherwise known as the precise spot where fun meets chic. I love most anything red, white, and blue, and this Madewell crewneck has the added advantage of being super-soft and just the tiniest bit fuzzy.
Couldn't not include something from Liberty's brand-new line of wallets.
The mix of textures here gives the illusion of layering without the bulk.
This is just straight-up fun: a shearling and denim jacket from Current Elliott's collab with Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Taking Requests
"Scarves, please," wrote a reader named Kathy this week, and something about the brevity of her request—all executed in the subject line of the email—amused me just enough to comply. I find the stripes on stripes here both charming and sophisticated.
A slightly rough-hewn look, with a color combination I can pretty much never say no to.
Houndstooth on plaid: should be too much, totally works.
Unfurled, this is a print-of-the-week-worthy moth pattern, and I love a blue with a green.
Tiny, girly little blossoms bring a dose of sweetness to the party.
Thursday trifecta
I love leather jackets from Vince—they've got a total poor-man's-Rick-Owens thing going on, which I only mention as a compliment: they come pretty damn close to the real thing for half the cash. Which still, unfortunately, doesn't mean they're especially cheap. But right now, a nice selection of them are marked down quite substantially as part of a big sale going on at Nordstrom, and if this is at all your your thing, you might want to take a look. Here's one so fabulously paper-thin you can actually really layer with it, and I like its somewhat unexpectedly inky hue (here it is in the black, just in case you don't so much).
The big collar is kind of punky/romantic, and I like the crop on this one too—it's perfect for wearing with dresses.
OK, only the sleeves here are leather, and it's not so Rick Owens at all, but I am sitting on my hands to keep from ordering this deeply cute boucle/leather combo.
Cheap and chic of the week
These Isabel Marant sneakers are a whole thing this season, but—cute though they are with that little pink tab— they are silly-pricey for just a pair of sneaks. I have a friend(cough) who is still kicking herself over buying them.
Because all they are, really, are fancied-up Adidas Stan Smiths.
Which Topshop does even cheaper.
These Nike workout pants are the perfect choice for all those times you might typically reach for sweats or leggings, but maybe want to look a beat or two more together. I feel like they've got a whole slouchy cool thing going on that is almost fashiony on one level but still happily casual on another, and am looking forward to them adding a whole new level of cool to my morning dog walk.

When mobile device management isn't enough
The explosion of smartphones and tablets in the workplace means that confidential information is now not only spread throughout your organization on servers and desktops, it is also being stored on mobile devices – which are prone to loss or theft – and being transmitted from these mobile devices beyond the control of your organization. It is easy for employees to disseminate – whether accidentally or intentionally – sensitive business data outside the organization with a simple action – e.g., upload employee healthcare records to the public cloud via a cloud storage app.

Michigan Again Proves To Be House Of Roush
By Matt Mercer ,
Edwards dominated the day, but it was also a big day for fellow Roush drivers David Ragan, Greg Biffle, and Matt Kenseth. The three drivers took positions 3-4-5 and improved their Chase chances thanks to DNF finishes from Jeff Gordon, Denny Hamlin, and Kasey Kahne. For Ragan in particular, he is the unquestioned underdog in the fight to Richmond. It would be quite the story for him to make the top 12, a year after getting thrown into the fire and taking the criticism, learning the hard way, and stand on the stage as one of the top 12 drivers in the sport. As of now he stands on the outside, but one breakthrough win at California or Richmond could be enough.
Biffle and Kenseth don't look like championship contenders right now, but their performances Sunday did a lot to solidify their standing to at least have a shot at the title. Biffle has been a tad more consistent than Kenseth, who I still maintain is adjusting to having a new voice in his helmet. Chip Bolin has proven himself worthy of the promotion... it just has taken more time than I or most others expected. Only Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson have made every Chase since its inception and I don't expect that to change.
Heading into Bristol, Kenseth and Edwards are the last 2 drivers to have won the August race. Kenseth did so in 2005 and 2006, Edwards last season. I would expect both to be in contention Saturday night along with the usual suspects.
Finally, much like Jack himself Sunday, I didn't mention that other guy... will he be in the 5th car next season? Or will it be surprise?

Cooper commits future to Australian rugby
ESPN Staff
December 7, 2012
Quade Cooper has penned a new deal to stay in Australian rugby © Getty Images
Quade Cooper has settled his long-running dispute with the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) and has signed a new two-year contract.
Cooper appeared to jeopardise his playing future earlier this year when he labelled the Wallabies' environment as "toxic" - an outburst that saw the ARU withdraw a contract offer and the player handed a hefty fine and threatened with a further three-match suspension.
An incentive-based deal was later tabled by the ARU but rejected by Cooper with his manager Khoder Nasser subsequently revealing that there had been "a total communication breakdown" with the governing body.
The 24-year-old playmaker, who is currently battling back from a knee injury, signed a new three-year contract with the Reds earlier this year but that deal was dependent on a new agreement with the ARU. And that has now been signed with the ARU's acting CEO Matt Carroll delighted with Cooper's decision.
"This means Quade Cooper and the Reds can now focus entirely on the upcoming 2013 Super Rugby season," Carroll said. "Quade can now look forward to getting back on the field next year and playing for the Reds and in turn stake his claim for re-selection in the Wallabies squad.
"Next year is an exciting year for Australian Rugby with the British & Irish Lions venturing to our shores for the first time since 2001. Agreeing to terms for a further two years provides Quade with an opportunity to take on one of the world's most iconic Rugby teams. It is an opportunity I am sure he is looking forward to as a Reds player and potentially as a Wallaby."
Carroll's sentiments were echoed by Queensland Rugby president Jim Carmichael. "The ARU has shown great support to bring this to a point where we have the right decision for the game, one of rugby's real talents and Quade's future," Carmichael told the Courier Mail. "Where there might not have been trust and understanding a few months ago, there has been positive dialogue and everyone working towards the same thing.
"I know Quade is in a really good place with what he wants to achieve for the Wallabies, as well as Queensland."
Cooper's deal is worth a reported AUS$800,000 (£522,000), according to the Courier Mail, a season and he hopes to break back into the Wallabies set-up sooner rather than later. There were reports that he has recently failed to see eye-to-eye with coach Robbie Deans but Cooper does not see an issue with the Australia boss.
"He's the coach. It (their relationship) is not something I have to improve," Cooper said. "His job is to coach and get the best out of the team. My first goal is to get back out there for Queensland and then if I play well the opportunity will arise to play for my country. It is a big year coming up."
