3 Reasons Oil Is Replacing Gold as Top Safe Haven for Investors
TheStreet) -- The Great Recession changed investors priorities and now we see black gold replacing the yellow metal as the new safe haven asset. A simple look at
United States Oil Fund
(USO) and we can see it replacing
SPDR Gold Shares Trust
(GLD) as the safe haven asset. Investors and speculators have three primary reasons for leaving gold in the dust and riding the oil price boom wave.
First, some history.
In August 2010 at the Jackson Hole economic summit, then-Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke announced massive quantitative easing. This entailed the Federal Reserve expanding its balance sheet to purchase over $2 trillion in Treasuries and other securities to keep interest rates low. Quantitative easing was and is needed as there are no buyers, foreign or domestic, willing to purchase U.S. Treasury bonds and other securities at such low interest rates.
As a result, the value of the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish Trust (UUP) fell with hard asset prices such as gold and oil rising. Energy stocks such as ExxonMobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), ConocoPhillips (COP) and others rose. Eventually the price of the yellow metal plunged while oil assets remained high, as shown by the chart below.
The major reason that oil replaced gold as a safe haven asset is that it appeals to both investors and speculators. Testifying before Congress in 2011, ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson stated the price of oil was about 50% higher due to speculators. Oil appeals to investors as it is the primary fuel source for transportation, one of the world's largest industries. The allure to speculators is the massive profits that can be made from market, not economic, conditions. Gold only appeals to speculators as it has no economic function.Next is that oil, unlike gold, is consumed by factories, motor vehicles, etc.... There are supply and demand factors related to an economy producing goods and services that results in how much oil is used. From this, the price is affected. That is not the case with the yellow metal. It is almost completely for financial asset purposes. It relies on "the greater fool theory": purely the hope that someone else (i.e., "the greater fool") will pay more for gold. Another is that the market for oil is much deeper, much more liquid and much more varied than that for the yellow metal. To state that the world oil market dwarves that for gold in size is a gross understatement. As just one example, the market capitalization for ExxonMobil, the biggest oil firm, is more than $440 billion. For Goldcorp (GG), the largest gold firm, it is just over $20 billion. Oil also has a wider range of investment products, too. Oil, long called "black gold," has now replaced the yellow metal as the new safe haven asset, and that's justification enough to keep the price of black gold high.

|Orthokine Therapy 101
|By Dorian M. Brito, CSCS
When your body is your punch card at work, you can't afford to be sidelined due to injury. Pro athletes have always sought ways to stay healthy and have an edge over the competition. Everything from training devices to surgery is up for grabs. In particular, steroids and human growth hormone have been used and abused by athletes for their profound healing effects. In the same vain you may have heard about something called platelet rich plasma therapy or PRP. It's a treatment used to combat muscle, joint, tendon and ligament injuries -- think knee pains and strains. The process involves centrifuging the patient's blood until it contains a concentrated mix of plasma cells and growth factors which is then then injected directly into the injured tissue. Lots of pro-athletes, Hines Ward and Troy Polamalu, have had the legal injection to get them back on the field. Then there's what NBA champ Kobe Bryant and MLB All-Star third baseman Alex Rodriguez have done to get back in fighting shape -- Orthokine therapy.
This therapy differs from the PRP in that Orthogen -- the German company that created the procedure -- uses a process where autologous conditioned serum (ACS) is generated by taking a sample of the patient's blood and incubating it in the presence of etched medical-grade glass beads. The ACS is similar to the PRP in that it is still the patient's own blood. The difference is the glass beads are used to grow immuno-factors, then spin down and re-injected into the affected joint or muscle (typically for treating arthritis or back pain). The second major difference: legality. Although the Word Anti-Doping Agency doesn't have Orthokine on its banned substance list, it hasn't been approved for use in the U.S. According a story in the New York Post , Bryant, who had traveled overseas to get the therapy for his right knee and left ankle, recommended A-Rod fly to Germany for the procedure. That explains why both Kobe and A-Rod had to take a trip to Deutschland for beer and injections.
Does it sound too good to be true? If you are thinking 'yes', then you're not far off. Although PRP therapy has been used for a number of years, it does have its short-comings in yielding results. A number of recent studies have begun to surface that question the efficacy of PRP. One such study compared whole blood, which has fewer growth factors, versus PRP in treating tennis elbow. The results indicate that treating injuries with whole blood was just as effective. As for the Orthokine treatment preliminary studies have found it to be more effective than the PRP. They stated that while the reason for the positive changes were not clearly apparent, the elevated amount of growth factors was significant and led to a clinical improvement. That means that it may work for you too, even though no one is really sure how.
What types of injuries can be treated using PRP and Orthokine?
PRP treatment works best for chronic ligament and tendon sprains/strains that have not healed with conservative treatment, including:
*Rotator cuff injuries
*Shoulder pain and instability
*Tennis and golfer's elbow
*Hamstring and hip strains
*Knee sprains and instability
*Patellofemoral syndrome and patellar tendinitis
*Ankle sprains
*Achilles tendinitis & plantar fasciitis
Pains and Risks?
In all cases, the area being treated is first anesthetized, although the injection can still be painful. The risk with PRP and Orthokine come from the injection itself, as any injection can be. These include bleeding, risk of infection and the risk of nerve damage, although the probability is low. To get the maximum benefit from the treatment, and help prevent re-injury, a specially-designed home-based rehabilitation and exercise program is incorporated. This helps newly developing connective tissue mature into healthy and strong tendon or ligament fibers.
Interested yet? Well, let's get down to the bottom line. How much does something like this cost? If Kobe, A-Rod and every other bad-ass pro-athlete are getting their blood spun, it must cost an arm and a leg right? Survey says: it's expensive! According to Scientific American , springing for legal blood doping can run between $500-$2,000 big ones. Here's the kicker: it's usually done over three to six sessions, depending on the site and severity. Except for Medicare, regenokine and PRP injections are covered by most insurance plans, though some require pre-authorization and in most cases it comes out of your pocket. If conventional therapies haven't worked for you and you decide to take the plunge, undergo some sort of physical therapy following the injection. It would help the newly developing connective tissue mature, strengthen and become resilient to re-injury.

WFP: Taking Swift Action To Help Iraq's Displaced Populations
In spite of the challenging security situation and the fact that displaced populations are on the move, WFP has successfully distributed food to more than 438,000 people in 10 governorates across Iraq. Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced by the crisis that first hit Mosul in mid-June and spread to surrounding cities and governorates. In recent days, a rising number of Iraqis have found themselves stranded around Iraq's Sinjar Mountains, fleeing violence. Since 4 August, WFP has set up four emergency kitchens in Dohuk and Lalish, enabling the food agency to assist more than 100,000 people who have fled the Sinjar area.

HostsMr. Phillip Overmyer, Chief Executive, Singapore International Chamber of Commerce
Ms. Nancy Teo, Senior Manager, Corporate Services
OverviewUpon our arrival at the Singapore International Chamber of Commerce headquarters, Ms. Teo escorted us to a conference room for a lunch meeting with Mr. Overmyer. He discussed the history of Singapore as well as relevant issues that the country is now facing; the presentation was followed by a Q&A session.
Key TakeawaysSingapore has become a major global player by the government planning out Singapore's growth
Singapore is a highly developed country with very low corruption, a free market economy, and a per capita GDP of $49,900. This is equal to the per capita GDP of four of the largest West European countries (and higher than the US per capita GDP of $45,800).* Singapore has evolved from a manufacturing economy producing low value-add products like toys and garments to a knowledge-based economy attracting major players in sectors such as solar panels, high-end pharmaceuticals and biotech.
Throughout Singapore's history the government has carefully guided the economy's growth by providing necessary incentives, tools, and infrastructure to develop the desired industries. The Singaporean government guided the country up the value chain from a manufacturing to knowledge-based economy by persuading the best companies and minds to move to Singapore.
*Source: The World Factbook website
Singapore operates like a world class business
The Singaporean government views itself as a first-rate business and acts accordingly. The Prime Minister acts like the CEO of the country, with the government structured as business units. The focus is on how to continue to grow the economy, and the real GDP growth of 7.7%,* suggests this approach to be working. The government recruits and retains the smartest, the brightest…the best. This highly selective recruitment process also promotes faith that the growth of the economy has been entrusted to the best Singaporeans and that faith likely pays dividends in obtaining citizen cooperation with the government's plans.
*Source: The World Factbook website
Singapore subscribes to the theory "make them come to you"
Early in its history, before its current prosperity, Singapore was just Malaysia's castoff, with few political alliances and natural resources. From that inauspicious beginning, Singapore has emerged as one of the foremost powerhouse economies in the world. By providing for companies' every want, Singapore forced others to seek it out rather than vice versa. The government had a clear growth plan for Singapore's economy; by reasoning backwards from the end goal, Singapore was able to design the necessary incentives to lure businesses to the island.
The Singaporean government provided companies with the complete package: the government would train the local workforce, build roads, factories and other necessary infrastructure, and provide a safe, familiar business environment. Singapore has attracted top talent from across the globe, including Professor Ian Wilmut, the Scottish scientist best known for cloning Dolly the lamb. A nice place to live that is still at the heart of everything – what could top that? Judging by the prominence and high number of its expatriates (1/4th of the population), not much!
Singapore may have built an unsustainable model
In the span of one lifetime, Singapore has reinvented itself numerous times and while the economy continues to grow, the nature of the jobs has changed significantly. Singapore now faces the challenge of moving the workforce up the value chain, requiring many to retool their skill sets rapidly.
Many of the workers from Singapore's era as a low-value-add manufacturing economy must adapt as the country moves to a knowledge-based economy. At the same time, the tourism sector is being cultivated and is one of the country's fastest growing sectors. The growing of labor-intensive sectors like tourism has proven challenging as well. While many of the older generation would be qualified to perform activities such as cleaning hotel rooms, many children insist that their parents should not take those menial jobs. In addition, the birth rate of 1.2 children per woman means the population is aging at a rapid pace. The influx of low-wage expatriates needed to fill the hotel and construction jobs creates a need for low-cost housing, and the resulting public dormitories have brought some complaints from the citizens living nearby.
The Singaporean government is working to extend the economic growth, but faces numerous challenges in matching the skill set of the local population to the best opportunities, the low birth rates of its residents, and the increasing reliance on migrant workers for low-end jobs.

Looking for The Muppets 3D Glasses for a Special Needs Student
I haven't really posted on this particular section of the DIS before. Generally I tend to post in the Creative Community area, but I figured that if anyone would be able to help me out with this matter, the movie board would be the best place to start. If it belongs somewhere else instead, please feel free to move it.
Anyway, to give a little background, I am a moderate/severe special education teacher. One of my students has had a pair of the green 3D glasses from The Muppets movie that he brings to school everyday. He absolutely LOVES his glasses and they're so important to him. Today he came to me in a panic because he had sadly broken one of the arms off. I told him that I would take them home to try to fix them, but with the way they're broken, I'm not sure that any type of glue will hold them. I've looked on ebay to see if I could find him a new pair, but no one is selling them. I've posted on my Facebook for friends to keep a lookout for a pair, but have had no results thus far. I know that in the past members of this board have been incredibly generous, so I thought I would put it out there what I'm looking for and hope for the best. I would gladly pay for shipping or anything else. Please let me know if you or someone you know can help me out. It would absolutely make my student's day.
Thank you,

I have an autistic son who is obsessed with these glasses too. We are headed to WDW next week, and we have a couple here, so I'd be happy to send one of ours, and we will get another next week. Message me your address, and I will ship them out ASAP. I know all to well when something gets broke that they love, ebay is great, but cant always find what you need.

If I'm wrong and the plastic is a type that can be glued, hedge your bets. If possible, find a thin but sturdy piece of metal or something similar to go on the back/inside of the arm, at least an inch long or even more, as long as it can be completely hidden when the glasses are being worn. Use a two-part epoxy glue instead of super glue. Super glue works well in many applications, but it has poor resistance to shearing forces. Epoxy is extremely strong once it is cured. If you can find a piece of metal to use, use a little sandpaper to make sure there are no sharp or rough edges. The apply the epoxy not only on the break, but also on the metal. Then put the metal in place spanning the break. It will greatly increase the strength of the bond.
Of course, if the break is very close to the front near the lenses, this method may not work.

So, I had an internal today (1.5 cm, hardly any progress at all - so frustrating) and now I feel like sh!t. ?My back hurts, I have cramps, I am really uncomfortable... is that just from the exam do you think? ?Has anyone else experienced this after a cervical exam this far along? ?TIA!?
PS - I really hope this kid got annoyed at the poking and prodding and is trying to get out...?
I am right there with you. Today was my 3rd and most uncomfortable internal. I've got some decent progress, but she seems to be staying put for now. I've had the worst cramps & back ache since my noon appt. I've also been having some contrx but they aren't consistent enough to be useful - just reallllllllly uncomfortable. I'm so ready! I'm trying not to completely lose it b/c you're right, it's supposed to be a happy time. I'm really hoping I can sleep tonight - that will be torture if not.
ETA: As I was writing this my water broke!!!!!!!!! AHHHH! Labor dust to you!

- Wild encounters
These massive animals delight all visitors to Werribee Open Range Zoo.
Once, great herds of this wonderful animal roamed from northern Mexico to Alaska. Today, wild Bison herds are found in national parks and refuges in only six US states (Montana, Wyoming, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota) and one Canadian province (Northwest Territory).The 19th century saw hunting of Bison on a scale that nearly brought the species to extinction. Threats now include habitat loss, genetic manipulation and culling to prevent the spread of bovine disease. Wild herds now occupy less than 1% of their original range. They are classed as 'near threatened' by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (on the IUCN 'red list').
Meeting the Bison at Werribee Open Range Zoo is an important way to connect with an open grassland species. Your visit helps to fight species extinction. Visiting the Bison at Werribee is an opportunity not only to marvel at these amazing animals, but also to learn about the threats to many species, what the international community is doing to try to conserve this species, and how Zoos Victoria is contributing to the fight.
Bison means 'ox-like' in Greek. They belong to the bovidae family just like cattle, buffalo, antelope, gazelles, sheep and goats.
The American Bison, commonly known as the American Buffalo, is not to be confused with its African (Cape Buffalo) and Asian (Water Buffalo) cousins. A large shoulder hump and thick winter coat are two things that distinguish a Bison from a buffalo.
Bisons are the largest land mammals in North America. Male Bison, called bulls, stand 1.8 m and weigh 700-900 kg. Cows, female Bison, weigh only half as much but they are hefty beasts all the same.
American Bison live in grassland habitats such as plains, prairies and river valleys and are grazers, meaning they eat mainly grasses. Bison eat in the early morning and evening and chew their cud in between. In winter, Bison use their head and hooves to find food beneath the snow.
American Bison live, feed and move in herds like all other gregarious animals. The herds include cows and calves. Adult bulls are solitary animals and only join a herd during the mating season called the rut.
- Adult Bison have few natural predators. Their horns, strong hooves, large size and speed (they can run 60 km/hr) are effective weapons of self-defence against wolf packs and even bears
- The great herds of Bison were part of the largest community of wild animals that the world has ever known
- The American Bison, once numbering more than 60 million, were hunted to near extinction in the late 1800s. Bison hunters killed the American buffalo for their skins. Railroads allowed tourists to shoot Bison from their trains. The US government promoted the slaughter of the American symbol to strip Native Americans of their lifestyle
- The only continuously wild Bison herd in the US resides within Yellowstone National Park. Numbering between 3000 and 3500, this herd is descended from a remnant population of 23 individual mountain Bison that survived the mass slaughter of the 1800s by hiding out in the Pelican Valley of Yellowstone Park
- Recent genetic studies of privately owned herds of Bison show that many of them include animals with genes from domestic cattle; there are as few as 12,000 to 15,000 pure Bison in the world

China should learn how to make good quality products and win the hearts of the people.(not with military Tanks/Missiles?other weapons)
All American should learn how to work in a factory without union! Dissolve the whole army and really start work hard.
They have something very important for these products be successfull: Consumer market. The problem is this prohibition from chinese government to control some websites and stuff. Chinese ones should get a little bit bored, for being apart of many quality and relevant information, even about their own leaders.
The Chinese will rise only if they get rid of Communist party and its cruel intensions towards its neighbors. It should also liberate Tibet and other countries it has occupied and stop threating its neighbors like Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, Bhutan, Burma, India, Nepal.. list goes on. I should stop meddling with media, human rights for its own people, killer policies like one child policy..etc. then and then only it can gain respect and place in Asia
I agree with you, for sure. The chinese growth is very well masked with these issues you cited. And, in a way, this puts big questions on air, like "China rises but what about these external and internal policies?", "What about this arbitrariness, that attacks people's freedom and alienates them?". After solving all these issues, it can be said there was a great advance by gaining respect and place in Asia. Concernig to that, Japan is a nice example, though historical rivalries with some neighboors, like China and Korea, we can see that when they focused and invested in their own citizens, establishing a democratic internal politics, everything worked out. This reminds me of a business concept of a renowned brazilian writer called Chiavento: "To grow your business, treat people as people, not as resources." China really needs to understand that.
"To grow your business, treat people as people, not as resources."
Now you should see how important Brazil is in the world, just fighting Mafia!
Apple this quarter result will most probably overly optimistic analyst target again due to 2 factors:
1) google nexus 7 will be the best selling tablet, it is currently out of stock for at least 3~4 weeks in US. Many consumers opted for nexus 7 instead of iPad.
2) many iPhone users have been switching to larger screen Android phones, especially Samsung Galaxy S3 which is the best selling smartphone all most Asia countries, replacing iPhone 4s.
Good luck to those to long AAPL
Other problem for apple's service is that a lot apps and functions are not completely working in China. And people are just using apple for fun and fashion. But we all know it's more powerful than that.
People love to hate a winner. They hated Microsoft when it was at the top of the heap, and now they hate Apple who took that position over. I live in China. After having Nokia and motorola smart phones, which I disliked, I bought an iphone 4S. I bought it in Hong kong since they are cheaper there, and i don't have to worry about getting a fake. The phone is great, even better than my Blackberry from Canada. My motorola was an Android...you only need to look at the user interface and see that it was copied from the iphone. All the people who are dumping on Apple for using Foxconn for production should remember that Foxconn produces for almost all the big electronics companies, including Samsung. As for Huawei, their phones are crap, like most Chinese brands of electronics and other consumer goods are. As for the comment about carriers subsidizing Apple phones...when you buy a contract with a carrier, all brands are offered subsidized. In China, there are no contract plans with subsidized phones, other than maybe some corporate arrangements. You need to pay the full price, which is even higher than buying unlocked phones in the West.
The patent lawsuit for Siri is being filed by National Cheng Kung University (成功大學) in Taiwan, not by a mainland patent troll, if I'm not mistaken.
"Apple doesn't just make stuff in China; "
Does Apple make iPhone/iPad in China? NO, Foxconn does.
Is Foxconn list in Hong Kong Stock exchange?
This is all part of the bigger game as consumption and balance of trades are shifting. You hear all those BS in DC about Made in China, and BS in Beijing about exports and US debt. But Imperative and quantitative facts will always speak itself regardless of the rhetoric.
My phone is a beat-up Blackberry and my wife doesn't own any "designer" bags, well, not yet at least. However we know plenty of people who do and there is absolutely nothing wrong with such ownership or the people who own them.
Companies like Apple, LV & Gucci wasn't born market leaders. They have beat out countless competitors for years, sometimes decades, and the premium on their products is the testament to their excellence in their products and to lesser extend, marketing, research, IP...etc. They have earned their right to charge more, fair and square, and we all know they can be replaced by anyone better at any stage.
Think those products are overpriced? Don't buy it. Think those products are chicken soup for vanity? Don't buy it. But no amount of tirade will stop the market from determining the rightful price of everything.
Just because one doesn't understand how the world works doesn't give one the right to criticize how people wish to spend their own money. Sour grapes? Perhaps.
But Apple fans are brainwashed morons indoctrinated into cult-like worship and signing over all their worldly goods to their Cupertino masters, and if they didn't sue Samsung and HTC, it would be impossible for them to sell iPhone and iPad at all. How else could their success possibly be explained?
Don't listen to suggestions that Foxconn workers on Apple production lines get paid a handsome bonus compared to those on Microsoft, Samsung and Blackberry production lines over the road. Or the fact that they'r perfectly capable of affording iPhones and iPads as they are among the top paid manual workers in China, and are actually in the group of 270m Chinese mentioned in the article who can afford them. That's crazy talk!
"How else could their success possibly be explained?"
Not by your brainwashed morons and lawsuits theories- that's for sure. Apple is successful because it came up with a phone that was second to none. The iPhone users I know are mostly well-to-do professionals who own many other worldly possessions, and I can assure you they all still have both of their kidneys.
And why is it Apple's fault that Foxconn workers are not getting paid as well as you would like them to be? The only relevant question for those workers is: can they do better by not working for Foxconn? My guess is that Foxconn workers are treated a lot better than the workers working at knock-off Chinese iWannabe-iPhone factories performing exactly the same tasks.
The premium commended by the iPhone is not derived from the labor of assembly. The value of an iPhone comes from the design, the innovations, the eco-system, the investments in R&D... To suggest that workers who performed mundane and minimal labor must get a bigger piece of the action, while is laudable and rank right up there with world peace, go against the very nature of risks vs. rewards that have so far powered our progression.
In my own observations, the iPhone has quickly faded from view and the Galaxy Note is the new prestige gadget in China. This might change after the iPhone 5 gets released, but I don't think Chinese are as brand loyal as Western consumers when it comes to Apple. If Samsung or HTC releases a great new device and markets it well, the Chinese will definitely buy that.
In absolute terms of course Apple's performance in China is shinning. There's so many consumers, its hard for it not to.
as a university student in southewest china where the economy seems undeveloped,however,i still have to admit how powerful Apple's penetration is in china.Gone are chinese's loyalty to Nokia early on.students who use iphone,to some extent,flaunt their richness ,at least in my university.it really angers me when i hang out to eat with friends,seeing how they are attentive to playing with their iphone.neverthless,it's not wrong to pursue exquisite taste on technology,though,i really miss those quality time when friends share emotions instead of phones.

The Apple have just tap into the rich vein of silly nouveau Riichis who like to show off the cool electronics just like LV handbags. These luxury companies are just excellent in branding even though most or some of the parts are actually made in China.
Apple just beat you guys!! They are smarter than you and they are using their skills to make great products using cheap chinese brainless labor
When chinese workers are so brainless then American is stupid to produce in China, don't you think!!
Apple is the new giant PATENT TROLL!
Don't know leh, why FT pov is so different from TE
I read the FT article and I see your point. But it is still true that Chinese like luxury brands. This phenomenon is not limited to Chinese, though. It happens in Japan, Taiwan, and probably many other places.
Little differentiates Apple from its counterparts in the smartphone market in terms of functionality and they are merciless in extracting money from software. I believe that any widespread buying of Apple is due to immense racial self hatred, especially when phones such as the Huawei Ascend P1, the thinnest phone in the world, are available. In addition, Huawei designs its own processors (ncluding the fastest in the world: http://phandroid.com/2012/03/16/does-huaweis-ascend-d-quad-xl-have-the-f...), while Apple purchases almost all of their hardware from commercially available sources. Huawei also has a complete telecom supply chain ranging from networks to phone, which Apple does not.
It is clear to all rational observers that those who prefer Apple must be self hating racists at least in part.
"Racial self hatred" is too strong of a phrase to drop on mundane things like Apple sales.
Thanks to the boys like you it currently got deluded to the meaningless soundbite as it is used to advocate pretty much anything with very predictable outcome.
Yes, I guess that Apple is yet another thing for which I am supposed to have white man's guilt. However, I somehow at this point tend to think that the problem is you, not me.
Huawei does not have the hundreds of thousands of apps that Apple does. Nor does it have its own operating system. Those two are probably the most important parts of the whole thing.
Applications are good, how many are they be downloaded is a question?
Everything single app on Iphone is downloaded... by design. Beside the best apps are free anyways...
That been said, I still like the the Android design better. though the new Windows 8 phone about to come out do looks good.
Btw, the smart phones of today are way too big...
My question is how many Chinese users will download the apps (not the freebie)? Every app downloaded, Apple made most of the profits from them.
Smart phone of today are just too heavy, see the new Nokia with 43MB picture weighted almost 200 grams. I had better have a 7inches-Pad weighted around 200 gram.
Apple needs to be careful in China. While there is a lot of money to be made in a country with over 1 billion people and a surging economy, China's Intellectual Property System is not great for protecting their product. Apple needs to dedicate a huge amount of time and resources to making sure people don't rip off their product in China. Otherwise they risk losing more money than they could gain as cheap knock offs are produced in China and find their way out into the world market.
China's Intellectual Property System is not great for protecting their product:: China cannot even protect its own people and provide them basic human rights forget about Intelectual property rights for Apple products!
If you can protect your road full of potholes that is OK, the rest is unimportant!
Forbes had this article that was interesting, entitled:
"Report: Apple iPhone 5 Will Be Last Smartphone Hurrah As Market Nears Peak"
Essentially captures the views of Bill Whyman, head of the investment research firm International Strategy & Investment's tech strategy research team.
Even if partially accurate, probably means China's importance as a market could possibly rise higher and Apple is lucky to have strong brand equity there.
As for the debate on patents in the US, patent disputes have a long history in this country. In the 19th century it was not uncommon for an inventor to go through double digit numbers of cases for an invention (defend patents, or respond to challenges) - Morse and Eli Whitney were prominent examples.
Well, the US congress can change them any time of day I believe. Its an enumerated power in the US Constitution - Article 1, section 8:
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
I would doubt that China's importance will rise if the growth of smartphone market slows.
Apple revenue model means that it makes a killing not only in selling smartphones, but also by selling content for smartphones through iTunes.
And Chinese are awful consumers of media content that they actually have to pay for.
If anything, smartphone market slowdown may mean a big rethink in business model for Google (that loses money on Android and that has pathetic sales through its store).
In most situations, the wealth will contribute more if they buy luxury products than when they just keep money in their pockets.

RELEASED: Oct. 24, 2008
Tyler James
EAU CLAIRE — Indie-pop performer Tyler James will play three free concerts at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Nov. 7-8.
James' shows in The Cabin, the Davies Center coffeehouse that is celebrating its 40th anniversary season, will begin Friday at 11:30 a.m. and 8 p.m., and Saturday at 8 p.m.
"An understated, melodic singer songwriter specializing in lush, piano-driven pop, Tyler James has an unadorned, vulnerable vocal style that grows on you ... adding complexity to deceptively simple lyrics," wrote The Nashville Scene.
"I write my songs on the upright piano in my house under the windows where the sun shines in," James has said. "I will never cease to be inspired by Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Nick Drake, David Bowie, Rainer Marie Rilke, Woody Allen, Jack Kerouac and The Band."
Born near Seattle and raised in small-town Iowa, James moved to Nashville in 2000. He has released two EPs ("An EP" and "Sweet Relief"), and his music has been heard on ABC-TV's "Brothers and Sisters" and MTV's "The Hills."
Cabin performances are free and open to all ages. Soft drinks, domestic and imported beer, specialty coffee drinks and tea are sold at all evening programs. Proof of age is required for alcohol purchases.
All performances are produced and managed completely by student members of The Cabin committee of the Student Senate's University Activities Commission. For a complete schedule of the semester's Cabin presentations, contact the Activities and Programs office, 715-836-4833, or visit the Cabin Web site.

This serum supposedly was created for those who want to fight the signs of aging, and fight them hard. Unfortunately, it won't help anyone progress on the anti-aging battlefield, at least not any more than countless other serums that don't have the problems this one does. It's great that the company included retinol and a handful of other antioxidants in stable packaging, but also on board are several fragrant plant oils that won't do your skin any favors; orange peel, lemon peel, and peppermint oils are all exceedingly irritating. The irritation they cause leads to inflammation that depletes collagen and hurts skin's ability to heal. That won't bring aging skin to a more youthful state; actually, quite the opposite is likely.
Speeds recovery from past UV damage. Increases epidermal thickness and elasticity. Encourages the skins DNA repair mechanism to self-correct. Locks in moisture. Reduces the signs of collagen degradation.

The "Zo" in Zo Skin Health are the initials of this line's creator, Dr. Zein Obagi. You may recall Obagi, this dermatologist's original namesake skin-care line, which initially was sold only in physicians' offices. Why he decided to create another line with an indirect and confusing association with his first brand is a question we couldn't get the company to answer to our satisfaction. We suspect this is just a way for him to sell his products to the mainstream market while also maintaining the exclusive dermatological bent for his earlier line. Actually, Obagi, the original line, is available online from lots of other skin-care sites as well, and there is no exclusive dermatology angle any more. In total, this adds up to ridiculous marketing nonsense that is neither medical nor good for your skin, and it's all needlessly expensive. Whether or not women's interest will be sparked by the alleged formulary expertise, or by the blessing, of a dermatologist is yet to be seen.
The main differences between the original Obagi line and the Zo Skin Health line are that the Obagi line offers a couple prescription-only products that contain 4% hydroquinone and tretinoin. Curiously, some of the Zo Skin Health products have distinctly better formulas than similar products in the original Obagi line. The only other differences you'll find are packaging and the fact that Zo Skin Health products cost more.
As it turns out, despite a price point that's far from reasonable, there are more formulary victories than defeats in the Zo Skin Health collection. For the most part, this line does a good job of offering consumers formidable options to improve the appearance of skin and (in the case of sunscreens) to prevent further damage to aging skin. This is a worthwhile line if you're looking for products with retinol that also contain other state-of-the-art ingredients (most retinol products are one-note formularies).
The body-care products are also a cut above, though again, the prices are definitely not easy on the pocketbook. However, there are less expensive options, so there's no need to worry if you can't afford this line. Zo Skin Health is not one-stop shopping for all manner of sun-damaged or aging skin and it also isn't comprehensive enough to meet everyone's needs and preferences. However, formula- and appearance-wise it bests much of what Obagi touts as state-of-the-art in his original line. Ideally, he should've parlayed the best formulas devised for Zo Skin Health products into the Obagi line products because that would ostensibly give him reason to weed out the average to poor products that are still available.

Metallica To Headline Saturday Show of Voodoo Music Experience
October 21st, 2012
Just when it seemed that the line-up for Voodoo Music and Arts Experience couldn't get any better, Metallica was added last minute as a headliner for October 27th.
As was mentioned in a previous mxdwn article, the Voodoo Experience was already sporting an awesome line-up with big names such as Nas, Kaskade, The Avett Brothers, Die Antwoord, Silversun Pickups, Skrillex, Justice, Tomahawk, Say Anything, Bootsy Collins, Gary Clark Jr and Preservation Hall Jazz Band. However, now Metallica has been added to the line-up to replace Green Day who was originally scheduled to play. Metallica was fortunately able to schedule this performance last minute saving Voodoo goers the disappointment of a missing act.

Coach suspended for pushing gas-passing student
ALEXANDRIA, Pa. (AP) — A high school football coach facing criminal charges for allegedly shoving a student who passed gas in the coach's classroom is receiving support from coaches in neighboring districts and others.
Forty-five-year-old Michael Smith remains suspended and cited for harassment and criminal mischief for the March 25 incident at Juniata Valley High School.
That's where state police say Smith pushed a student into a wall, breaking a thermostat.
Superintendent David Christopher says, "It's a really difficult situation here. You've got a longtime teacher who's accused of something pretty serious."
Smith isn't commenting, but more than 300 people have signed an online petition supporting Smith.
They include Bellwood-Antis softball coach Jim Payne who wrote, "I guess the elephant in the room is, 'What would you do if a kid (passed gas) in your face?'"

Canon Tips: how to display the histogram on your EOS camera
Get into the habit of viewing your Canon histogram alongside each shot in order to avoid disappointment later. Here's how…
In previous posts we've often talked about why it's a good idea to take a test shot and then check the image's histogram on your Canon DSLR. This is because your EOS camera's histogram display takes the stress out of making good exposures.
A histogram is a small graph that can be viewed alongside the picture during playback, or displayed while you're taking a shot using Live View, and provides a visual guide to how bright or dark an image is.
It's a much more accurate way to judge exposure than simply looking at the picture on the LCD screen alone, as the screen's own brightness level can give a false impression of whether an image is well exposed or not. Below we'll show you the simple process of setting this up.
How to display your Canon histogram
Display options
When reviewing images on the back of the camera, press the INF0/DISPLAY button to cycle through the options. The default option is a full-screen image with no shooting info.
Depending on the camera, the second or third screen shows the brightness histogram. In bright light you may have to shield the screen to judge where the edges of the graph are.
RGB histograms
Tap INFO/DISPLAY again to see the histograms for the three colour channels. You can set the brightness histogram or the RGB histograms as the default in the Playback menu.
Live View
Pressing INFO/DISPLAY during Live View cycles through various info overlays, including either live brightness or RGB histograms; note that these can obscure picture detail.

Parents night will be held on Monday, September 9 at 6:00 PM in the OMIS cafeteria. Hope to see you there!
Once Upon a Story…
Hello and welcome to GRC! Do you like to travel? Do you like stories? Then Once Upon a Story is for you! Folk Tales have been circling our globe, inspiring, entertaining, and changing for thousands of generations!! In Mrs. Richardson's class this year, we will be taking a trip around the world by exploring those grand stories of old. Students will be reading, sharing and discussing the literary elements of theme, plot, character, and conflict of over 20 folk tales! They will learn how to tell an affective story as they share their tales with classmates. They will brush up on their geography as they "virtually" visit each place where a story originated and then plot it on a world map.
In an exciting yet challenging culmination to this unit, students will become script writers and puppeteers as they work with a group to change certain elements of a favorite folk tale and create a puppet show based on the new tale.
I encourage you to take advantage of this unit by asking your child to share some of his/her favorite tales they have learned. Ask them which part of the world the tale originated, and why they think it might have come from there. I also encourage you to share some of your own stories with your students, or to find folk tales from your family's country of origin.
It is in this oral sharing that a nation's— a culture's—a family's— a person's story can be preserved, and sometimes even changed.

Dell says it has enforced its commitment to being an energy efficient and carbon neutral company by joining The Climate Group. Dell is the first computer company to have joined the global non-profit organization, which works with businesses and government leaders to address climate change and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy.
The computer manufacturer has already lowered its carbon intensity (its ratio of carbon emissions to economic activity), but has pledged to reduce it by an additional 15% by 2012. It has also pledged to make its manufacturing operations and company facilities carbon neutral beginning this year.

Shopping for plus size?
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 02-19-2013 - 1:19pm
Im looking for some nice clothes that won't make me feel frumpy while Im trying to lose weight but lane bryant is expensive and they don't carry my current size. I also need something comfortable to walk in when I am at the track. I feel bad enough without drawing attention to myself in my husband's sweats. Can anyone help?
|Wed, 06-12-2013 - 2:25pm
My mom dragged me into a Ross store a few months ago when I needed a good interview outfit. We came out with TWO Lane Bryant tops and bottoms for less than $50. Woman Within is decently priced from what I've seen and they carry sizes above the usual cut-off point of size 28 that Walmart and LB do.
|Fri, 05-17-2013 - 2:49pm
Hi Tami,
for many years I have shopped Lane Bryant and Avenue, and I understand how unreasonable the prices can be.
Earlier this year, my mom took me to Ross. I was hesitant and less than inspired. Until I found 9 dresses (the dressy kind) for $100. They were all $5-15. It is really hard for me to shop. I am not only big, but also TALL. My least favorite word when shopping is "regular". But, there, I found everything, all sizes and length.
It is a hit or miss proposition, but it may well work. Also, Fashion Bug and Lane Bryant belong to the same company and usually carry a lot of the same stuff for significantly different prices.
Of course, Walmart too has a varied selection at a reasonable price. Sometimes you can find a good deal in the right size at Target. I buy my workout clothes there.
|Mon, 03-11-2013 - 9:23pm
Money is pretty tight but lately I have been finding some really fantastic finds at my local hospital opportunity shop...:)
They sell clothes that actually fit me...:) at a really great price and they look good.
Recently I bought myself several t-shirts and also bought a lovely tablecloth for my kitchen table.
Some placemats to that were very pretty!
I was looking at the purses to but decided to wait...;)...until the next time I go there.
Soon they will probably start putting out more Spring/Summer clothes...I cannot wait!
|Fri, 03-08-2013 - 2:01pm
If you don't mind online shopping, Woman Within has a fantastic selection of plus-size clothes at great prices and they also have good sales. www.womanwithin.com
|Fri, 03-08-2013 - 9:27am
I have found some things I really like at Kmart. I also shop the thrift stores. I have had some great finds at Goodwill.
|Thu, 02-28-2013 - 9:45pm
Hi Tami! Good question!! I'm also on a really tight budget these days, but like you said after a certain point you need your own workout clothes that fit good and you are able to move around in.
I have look high and low for affordable plus sized workout clothing. Believe it or not the best place is WalMart. I only wear WalMart workout pants these days. I went in there a couple weeks ago and bought new tshirts to workout in for $4.88 each and in really pretty spring colors to go with my black workout pants! If you have a Kohl's near by you can find good deals on the Clearance rack for sports bras, but the workout clothing isn't really made for plus sizes.
Let me know if you find anywhere else that has affordable options because I'm always on the lookout for new workout clothes.
