Bank Overdraft Rates Of 20% Devastate Customers
Banks are being crippled by the highest ever bank overdraft rates.
The Bank of England revealed yesterday that the average overdraft rate has reached a record of 19.65 per cent, which is nearly 40 times higher than the base rate, currently at an historic low of 0.5 per cent.
If you had an overdraft of ┬Ż1,000 for a year, this means it would cost ┬Ż196 – and this is before you have paid off a single penny of the actual debt.
To make matters worse, it comes at a time when millions of families are suffering a ferocious squeeze on their finances from low pay rises, tax rises and the high cost of living.
Andrew Hagger, a personal finance analyst from the website Moneycomms.co.uk, said: ŌĆśThe record cost of overdraft borrowing is an unwelcome drain on the family budget which is already being hammered by rising fuel, food and energy bills.
ŌĆśIt is tough for consumers to swallow, and what is more worrying is that the official figures donŌĆÖt take account of the increasingly common and more expensive flat fee tariffs.ŌĆÖ He said banks and building societies are increasingly changing their overdraft charges, and introducing a daily fee, rather than a high rate of interest.
For example, NationwideŌĆÖs new FlexDirect current account charges ┬Ż1 per day for an authorised overdraft and ┬Ż5 per day for an unauthorised overdraft, subject to a maximum charge.
Banks and building societies are also stinging homeowners with the highest variable mortgage rates for more than three years
The BankŌĆÖs figures, published yesterday, show it is not just the millions of people whose current accounts are in the red who are being hit by rate rises by BritainŌĆÖs banking giants.
It shows banks and building societies are also stinging homeowners with the highest variable mortgage rates for more than three years.
The average standard variable rate, known as an SVR, has hit 4.32 per cent, the highest average rate since March 2009, the month the Bank cut the base rate to 0.5 per cent.
This is the type of mortgage deal which homeowners are automatically moved onto when their current deal, such as a two-year fixed loan or a three-year tracker, comes to an end.
Many are ŌĆśtrappedŌĆÖ on this rate because they cannot switch to a different deal or a rival lender because they are too high risk, are in negative equity or their deposit is too small.
In recent months, a growing list of lenders have been increasing their SVR, blaming the high cost of funding.
Banks, such as Halifax, Santander, Yorkshire Bank, the Co-op and Bank of Ireland, have all recently increased their rates in a move which hits their loyal customers.
The rate rises come at a time when banks are reaping the benefits from the ┬Ż80billion Funding for Lending Scheme, launched in August, which is giving them cheap money.
Under the scheme, banks and building societies can borrow an unlimited amount of money for as little as 0.25 per cent as long as they maintain, or increase, their lending.

I don't know if this belongs under the holster threads or here in the LE discussion. My apologies if it is in the wrong section of the forum.
I have a Safariland 6004 drop leg holster to carry my Taser X26 in. I carry it on my support side. It has two leg straps on the shroud. I just started wearing it, and it is a little uncomfortable. A fellow officer just made me aware that Safariland makes a single strap shroud for the same holster that I have.
I'm wondering how much more comfortable it would be and if it is stable enough for a good draw.
Perhaps someone who uses either of these set ups could help me. Thanks.

Assignment 1: The Pythagorean Theorem
Assignment 1: The Pythagorean Theorem
Geometry is a very broad field of mathematics composed of a wide range of tools that can be used for problem solving. In this module, you are going to research three examples of the implementation of geometry that would employ the use of the Pythagorean Theorem as a problem-solving tool.
The examples you find can come from several different fields of study and applications such as construction, city planning, highway maintenance, art, architecture, and communications, to name a few. The examples you find must clearly demonstrate the use of the Pythagorean Theorem as a tool. Your textbook—Chapter 10, "Modeling with Geometry"—would be a good reference to consult for some examples illustrating the use of the Pythagorean Theorem in applied situations.
For each example you share in your post, address the following:
Demonstrate the use of the Pythagorean Theorem in the solution of this problem.
How is the Pythagorean Theorem applied to help solve this problem in this application?
Why would the Pythagorean Theorem be applied instead of employing some other mathematical tool?
What tools, unique to this application, would be necessary to get the measurements needed to apply the Pythagorean Theorem?
Are there other geometrical concepts that are necessary to know in order to solve this problem?
Are there any modern tools that help solve this kind of problem that either provide a work around, or that rely heavily upon, the Pythagorean Theorem?
When constructing your response, consider the theories, examples, and concepts discussed in your readings this module, and refer to them to support your conclusions.
Write your initial response in a minimum of 200 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

OBJECTIVE: Students learn the basic of principle of buoyancy and how submarines use it to dive and ascend in water.
1. Cut three holes in side of the soda bottle.
2. Stack the pennies into three piles containing 4, 8, and 12 pennies.
3. Carefully wrap stacks of pennies with foil.
4. Place a rubber band around the plastic bottle and slide
it next to the closest hole. Position the other rubber
bands next to the two remaining holes.
5. Place the four-penny stack under the rubber band closest to the bottle's top.
6. Place the eight-penny stack under the middle rubber band, next to the middle hole.
7. Place the 12-penny stack under the last rubber band (NOTE: The weights should be next to the holes NOT over them.)
8. Push the shorter end of the straw (about 1 inch) through the hole in the bottle's cap. Reattach the bottle cap to the bottle. Keep the flex section outside and bent upwards. Tape straw securely into place in bottle cap.
9. Lower the "submarine" into the water. Do not let
long end of straw take in water.
10. Observe the action of the "sub" and record your observations.
11. When the sub stops sinking, blow into the straw.
12. Observe the action of the sub and record your observations.
1. What makes your submarine sink?
2. What makes it surface?
3. You learned the basic properties that make submersibles
dive and surface. What is your model missing that U.S. Navy submarines
have to navigate underwater?
Answer: Diving/hydro planes for direction, a propeller for sustained movement and speed.

Pittsburgh filled more hotel rooms in 2011 than it had in a decade and the city's prospects look even better this year, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Pittsburgh Tribune-Review report.
Citing figures from the city's tourism agency, VisitPittsburgh, the Post-Gazette says the overall occupancy rate for Pittsburgh hotels was 68.2% - better than the U.S. average of 60% and best over the city's competitors.
Tourism officials attribute the good news to a mix of new convention business and increased popularity with tourists.
TWITTER: Follow Hotel Check-In's BarbDeLollis
The city's occupancy rate hadn't been that high in more than 10 years, the Post-Gazette says. The Tribune-Review says it's the city's highest hotel occupancy rate going back 21 years.
"These are impressive numbers," Craig Davis, VisitPittsburgh's new CEO told the Post-Gazette. "And, we are proud of our strategic approach to marketing and advertising that assisted in these very positive returns."
The Westin Convention Center Hotel's general manager, Tom Martini, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that 2011 for his hotel was its best in a decade. Room nights sold in the downtown area rose by about 10% last year vs. 2010, he said.
Martini attribute the growth to the city's "escaping the worst of the recession and to the worldwide attention that the G-20 summit brought to the city in 2009," the Tribune-Review tells us.
"That's when people said, 'We've got to see what Pittsburgh is about,' " Martini told the paper.
National Geographic Traveler even named the city one of the best places in the world to experience in 2012.
Room nights sold in the downtown area went up by 10,000 last year, about a 10% increase, and a similar jump is expected this year, Martini said. Increases come despite the fact that convention-center-area rooms now number about 4,000, vs. 2,500 a decade ago.
Pittsburgh's travel industry has more momentum this year. VisitPittsburgh booked more meetings and conventions in 2011 for future years than it did in 2010, the articles say.

What an exciting year for everyone in the video game industry. The team here at 2K has seen a lot over the years, and experienced countless new system launches. But we've never seen one like this year, with the launch of PS4. It's an old cliché that new technology allows developers to take their products to the next level, but that's never been truer than now. As work began on NBA 2K14 for PS4, the next-gen technology inspired our developers at Visual Concepts to develop a completely new experience from the ground up. NBA 2K14 on PS4 will feature re-built game modes, stunning life-like graphics, and a brand new gameplay engine.
The dedicated team behind the next-gen edition of NBA 2K14 has an eye for detail. And not just a normal, everyday eye; they have hundreds of eyes, hell-bent on making this the best basketball experience in video game history.
Hi guys! I'm here today to share some details for Top Spin 4, in stores tomorrow, March 15th in the US and March 18th internationally. A quick reminder: if you pre-order from GameStop today, you can still get a Vintage Andre Agassi, mullet and all!
Top Spin is one of my favorite video game franchises because it truly redefines the way you experience the sport of tennis. Intuitive controls make gameplay immediately accessible, yet deep and rewarding for the tennis experts who want to plan their strategy and target their opponent's weaknesses.
Top Spin 4 also has two PS3-related features: the use of PlayStation Move and 3D. Recently, I interviewed 2K Czech game designer Remi Ercolani for background on the use of PlayStation Move and 3D.
Ronnie2K here! Back in October, I discussed NBA 2K11's PlayStation Move functionality along with a deep look on all the great features NBA 2K11 has to offer. And if you ever have suggestions for NBA2K, hit me up on Twitter and follow us on Facebook. NBA 2K11 has garnered more than two dozen Sports Game […]
Hey all! Ronnie2K here back again to discuss all things NBA 2K11. If you missed my last submission on the PlayStation.Blog where I discussed the Move along with a background on all the great features 2K11 has to offer, you can catch it here. If you ever have feedback on a feature, don't hesitate to […]
Hi guys! Ronnie here from 2K Sports. I am the Community Manager here and the point person for our fans. Have feedback on a feature for NBA 2K11? Want to get an idea in the game? You have my ear and can always reach me on Twitter. Drop me a line anytime! You probably remember […]

"Good recipe. I marinated the salmon for 3 hours, and still felt like the end result was not overly flavorful. Served with rice and salad for a perfect dinner. Next time I might use fresh garlic and fresh ginger."
"I've made this a bunch of times now, actually got the same recipe from my sister a while back. It is so fast and makes a healthy and delicious side dish."
"Have made these classical wonderful cookies several times. They are the perfect balance between sweet and salty. They must be a little bit underbaked to stay moist and chewy. I have tried making them with craisins, although I favor good ole raisins. I tell myself that they are healthy because of the oats and the raisins, right?!"
"Wow! These were one word: AMAZING. This was my first time to prepare brussel sprouts, and I was a little bit nervous because of their bad rap. The prep was simple, I threw together the ingredients in a matter of seconds. Out of the oven came delicious balls with creamy centers. Yum. Enough said."
"This was easy and delicious, although I wish the sauce had been a little bit thicker. My husband loved it more than I did. I served it with brown rice and steamed broccoli. Will definitely make again."
"Awesome and simple recipe. My husband loved it! I made exactly as directed. Will definitely be making this over and over again."
"Great flavor, went really well with pineapple chicken (like apricot chicken but with pineapple preserves instead). Trying to be healthier, I used brown rice, the rice at the bottom of the pot got burned because of the longer cooking time. Next time I will make with white rice, and there will definitely be a next time."
"I made this exactly as directed. Not my favorite, although I usually love ketchup based salad dressings. I think it was too sweet. I may try to make again with much less sugar. Just realized that I did use the heinz organic ketchup and I think it is sweeter than the regular kind. I put in about 2 T. of grated onion, next time I would use less."
"Made these for a dinner party, less than satisfied with the results. A tad too salty. Will choose a different green bean recipe next time."
"Great easy chicken recipe. I made 2 chickens at the same time. One of the chickens refused to stand up, but turned out good because it cooked lying in the spilled beer. The chicken was tasty and moist."

When I was 19, and in college, I answered a campus add looking for a male life art model. I needed the extra cash, and I thought it would not be a big deal. But the classes were alot bigger than I thought they would be, about 80 students in a large lecture hall. The students were seated at elevated levels, and I posed naked on the lower level, so all could look down at me. Not all were art students, I found out. Some were in other majors but had to take drawing credits for their degree. I think some were engineering majors. There were the jock type guys who took the class as an elective thinking there would be a female nude model. Also, on several occaisions, a guy would go out of his way to talk to me for as long as he could after class. Anyway, I almost freaked out the first time I had to stand there naked and do awkward poses in front of all. There were laughs, comments, etc. I was not ashamed as I worked out regularly and was in good physical shape. But still felt very vulnerable. I would have to take all cloths off behind a screen at the far corner in front of the lecture hall, and walk about 40 ft to my posing spot. The way it worked out, I would have to be stripped before class started, so I would have to wait in the front of the class naked until all students arrived. They would have conversations, etc. while I waited naked standing in front of the lecture hall.The wait was usually for about fifteen minutes. The prof. insisted I be ready early so class could start on time. There were other times when I would have to wait naked while one class ended, and until another started. Students comming and going, while others peered through the door while classes were changing. This one guy would always walk his very hot girlfriend into her drawing class, and give her a long kiiss goodbye in front of me while I stood there naked. That was for some reason, pure torture. There were some very hot females in those classes. That was pure hell at age 19. I would often get smiles while walking on campus, and in some of my classes. I could never be sure if the those smiles were comming from students in the art classes I worked, because for the most part, I could never bring myself to look at the students directly. I guess I thought I would not be seen as much if I did not look. It was usually be accident when I got a good look at some of the students. And the good looking ones who were well dressed always added to the naked factor, humiliation. I worked the classes for 3 semesters. Nevers really got used to it. Always felt naked, awkward, uneasy feeling in chest, stomach and throat. I was kinda relieved when it was over. I finished what I started and brought in needed extra cash. But it was not for me long-term. Never got passed that degraded feeling of posing nude in front of a fully clothed crowd. Cheers…
male female
Are you a male are female model?
Most places where I model, the model has to put robe on during breaks.You change into robe in bathroom are behind the screen as you did, but put a robe on till time to drop it to model. I have walked about 15 feet nude in class. Most of the girls will look away as soon as the pose is over.
Sometime people come into the class who are not members of the class but not many.
Maybe one are 2 during the semester.
I model for a college open life drawing party that was free for the students and $5 for other who wanted to draw. I think some may have came just to look at my nude body (but every acted as if they were there for art experience).
ingotblue, they set some ridiculously unsettling conditions for you in those classes.
I posed once to substitute. The instructor just asked me and my mindset at the time was no problem. Being a last minute substitute I posed clothed.
Sometime later some aquaintances were chatting and it came up i posed for an art class after a girl mentioned she was doing an 2-d student project and could use a model prefering a male . She asked me so i figured why not. She'd pay me a 100bucks for a couple afternoons.
She and her classmate reserved an empty class and I posed first clothed and then nude.
Some woman stopped by the class and asked her friend how to find some room. While they were talking by the door, the woman had her 2 daughters, maybe 12-13 yrs old go sit down and wait. So as the 2 women were sorting things out, this woman's daughters are sitting right there in the classroom as I'm standing nude.
I'm no prude but it was very uncomfortable. I couldn't move without messing up the pose.
The mother saw me and appeared taken aback. Still she continued asking things before finally shuffling her kids out.
I wouldnt tell anybody they shouldnt pose for artsake, but make sure everything is under control first.
I was a nude male model at community college
I got my degree in graphic design so we had a few art prereqs. I took art 101 2d and 3d art, then I got to pick art history or nude figure drawing. I wanted to improve my art skills so I took the later course. I wanted to make some extra cash so I asked my art teacher about the modeling job. It was $10/class in 1998. And you couldnt be enrolled in the college. So during the summer I started my new job (didnt go to school there in summer) and when I went on to V tech. It was so hard to sit (or stand or knell) posed without doing anything so I whould look at a clock in the corner or something and my mind would wander a few times, I was so embarrassed at the time- I was thinking about sex and my penis (which is small when soft) blue up like a ballon, the more I tried to fight it- the larger and harder it got. some girls started gigelling. finally my art teach felt my pain and she started talking about how we were all human and then she -actually complemeted me and siad that I have the most beautifull penis she'd ever seen and and my penis started to deflate, as I reilized she was right we human and lol I did and still do have a beautifull looking penis (esp. when enlarged) well that's my nude model story for ya,—AJ
I have to say, any model could've waited around in their robe for the class to actually start before being nude. You don't have to wait around naked, you can wait by the stage and when its time then you drop you robe. All you had to do is ask if your not comfortable with something.
As far as the doors being open and people looking, this happened to me lots, its not too much of a big deal, since it was all within the art department of the school not an isolated room in the middle of the campus. Once I actually had a group prospective students touring the university come in an observed as I modeled for the class.
About the size of the class, 80 people, I admit would be really nervous to pose such a large class.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

New rules limit the amount of money you can borrow through a reverse mortgage. Tara Lynn Wagner takes a look at the details in this week's Money Matters report.
The idea behind a reverse mortgage is simple. It's a way for older homeowners to access the wealth accumulated in their home without having to sell that house. Think of it as a home equity line of credit, but with a major difference.
"The difference is that with a more traditional home equity loan you have to start making monthly payments after you take the money out whereas with a reverse mortgage you can wait until you permanently leave the home before you make any repayments," said Peter Bell, CEO of the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association.
Basically, the homeowner will get the money now or over a period of time and the lender gets it back once the house is sold either by you or your surviving family members.
The money can be distributed in a few ways: a lump sum payment, a line of credit that the homeowner can draw from over time or fixed monthly payments. However, reverse mortgages recently underwent a big change.
Last Septmeber, the Federal Housing Authority placed a limit on the amount of money a homeowner could access in the first year to 60 percent of the available funds.
"And then the balance becomes available in fixed monthly payments or a line of credit that you could tap later on," Bell said.
There are exemptions, depending on what's called the concept of mandatory obligations or more simply put, the bills you have to pay.
"If you have an existing mortgage you have to pay that off, if you have taxes that are in arrears, you have to bring those current, if you have any federal guaranteed loans, for instance you might still be paying student loans or you might have had an SBA loan that's outstanding," Bell said.
If those add up to less than 60 percent of the homeowner's eligible funds, the limit applies, but if it's more than the 60 percent threshold, the homeowner can withdraw whatever they need to pay what they owe, plus another 10 percent. However, keep in mind, a higher amount means a higher upfront fee.
"If you are under the 60 percent threshold, it's one half of one percent. If it's over, it's 2.5 percent," Bell said.
Not all lenders offer reverse mortgages so you need to find someone that specializes in this product. For a list of recommended lenders, go to www.reversemortgage.org.
In addition, the National Council on Aging has put together a HUD-approved pamphlet on reverse mortgages called "Use Your Home to Stay at Home." To obtain a free copy, go to NCOA.org.

The Big Bang Theory Spoilers: A New Roommate for Sheldonby TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
A big change is coming to The Big Bang Theory.
On the sitcom's fourth season finale, Sheldon and Leonard will part ways. As teased to Entertainment Weekly by producer Bill Prady: "You have a situation where Priya is staying with her brother, and Leonard is spending time with Pryia. The current sleeping arrangement isn't the best one. I think a little experimentation with people in different spots [is necessary]."
Who will take over as Sheldon's new roommate? Prady says it will be a human being with whom viewers are familiar:
"One of the things that Sheldon will [learn from] his new roommate - temporary or permanent, we don't know - is just how long Leonard has been skating by. He's going to have a terrific experience with this new roommate."
Amy Farrah Fowler! That would be awesome!
it is RAJ. although i wanted Penny :(
Rajesh clearly needs a place and Penny can't pay the rent... it could either... I hope it's Penny because it would be so much fun... we all expected Raj, surprise us!
definatelly penny, and who knows maybe something will happen between the two of them that will change sheldon's opinion about love ??? ti woyld be so funny like rachel living with joe, and plus thats the only way keep penny in the highlights, lately she seems a bit lost...
penny! that will be so great!!!
The Leonard and Penny relationship is over. Get used to it people. It's played out. It ended about the same time their real life relationship ended. Priya is here to stay.
Amy, Raj or Penny, in that order of likeliness. They introduced Amy's apartment for the first time in the last episode, so I guess there could be a reason behind that. It would make sense for Raj and Leonard, or Priya and Sheldon to switch apartments. If that would happen, it would probably be Sheldon and Raj in their current apartment - remember Sheldon's discomfort at the 'left-over radiation from luminous clock dials' when he temporarily moved out to keep Penny's secret about not graduating from community college from Leonard?
Penny might be a good choice, however seeing as she only has one bedroom I don't see how that would work out. Unless Penny and Leonard switch, and Priya moves into Penny's old apartment with Leonard.
It can't be Howard, he's engaged so I'm assuming that he and Bernadette will (eventually) move into their own apartment. I REALLY don't see Bernadette functioning well under Howard's mother's roof. A teeny tiny part of me wishes that something weird would happen, and it would end up being Will Wheaton or Barry Kripke. That would be hilarious!
I'm going to have to say Raj. Just because if Leonard is spending so much time with Priya then he and Raj will just switch. I don't like Priya either. I'd like Leonard and Penny back together.
I'd like to see Howard move in with Sheldon. His mother is going to have a fit when she learns of his engagement, to the point where she might kick him out...and Bernadette won't want him living with her until he gets it through his head that she's not a surrogate mother...not that I can see their engagement lasting in the first place. He might not have anyplace else to go.
My gut says Penny, she misses her rent or something happens to her apartment. That would make the comedic sense.

So, i love all the details you did, it looks qute cool!
The difference to the grass are the trees, they havn´t got so much detail. But I think that your mixture from details and no details is well done. The colours you use are pretty together. One thing is jumping into your eye, the pink antler. i just love the whole picture, it´s quite intresting to watch and watch again.
So, i hope it was an okay Critique, it´s my first and sorry for my bad english, I know it isn´t the best. But keep your work going on!

Sagem and Thales create optronics joint venture, OPTROLEAD
Paris, July 23, 2012
Sagem (Safran group) and Thales have announced the creation of OPTROLEAD, an equally-owned joint venture for optronics. The official signature creating the new company follows the original Memorandum of Understanding signed on December 20, 2011.
OPTROLEAD will be responsible for the sale of future optronic systems, especially for defense applications.
The new company is staking out a position in several major programs, including the optronic payload for the planned upgrade of the French navy's Atlantique 2 (ATL2) maritime patrol aircraft, the imaging system for the future French-British MALE (medium-altitude, long-endurance) drone, modular optronic systems for army combat vehicles, and optronics for tomorrow's helicopters.
The legal documents for the new entity were signed on July 18 by Philippe Petitcolin, Chairman and CEO of Sagem, and Serge Adrian, Chairman and CEO of Thales Optronique SA.
"We have taken an important step forward in consolidating and enhancing synergies within the French optronics industry," said Serge Adrian. "Our new company OPTROLEAD will effectively combine the leading areas of expertise of its two parent companies."
"OPTROLEAD is already capable of coordinating contracts directly with customers of Sagem and Thales," added Philippe Petitcolin. "For example, the ATL2 upgrade program could well be the first concrete application for this new entity."
Emmanuel de Roquefeuil of Thales was named Chairman of the new company, with Albert Levionnois of Sagem as Chief Executive Officer.
Thales is a global technology leader for the Defence & Security and the Aerospace & Transport markets. In 2011, the company generated revenues of €13 billion with 67,000 employees in more than 56 countries. With its 22,500 engineers and researchers, Thales has a unique capability to design, develop and deploy equipment, systems and services that meet the most complex security requirements. Thales has an exceptional international footprint, with operations around the world working with customers as local partners.
For more information, www.thalesgroup.com
Sagem, a high-tech company in the Safran group, holds world or European leadership positions in optronics, avionics, electronics and safety-critical software for both civil and military markets. Sagem is the No. 1 company in Europe and No. 3 worldwide for inertial navigation systems (INS) used in air, land and naval applications. It is also the world leader in helicopter flight controls and the European leader in optronics and tactical UAV systems. Operating across the globe through the Safran group, Sagem and its subsidiaries employ 7,500 people in Europe, Southeast Asia and North America. Sagem is the commercial name of the company Sagem Défense Sécurité.

Almanac Transcript
Territorial strippers making the news this week on the Oklahoma Audio Almanac.
Hello, Im Steven Knoche Kite.
In the mid-1880s settlers began illegally setting up homesteads in what is now the Oklahoma Panhandle. At that time the panhandle didn't belong to any state, and the squatters or "strippers," as they were called were hoping to form the Territory of Cimarron and eventually a separate state out of the thirty-four by 168 mile strip. These settlers were occupying land illegally and therefore could not use their land as collateral for loans. Hoping that if they set up an official territorial style government the national government would recognize them, the strippers set about building a governmental framework.
To say that these people were poor is an understatement, they chose to adopt Colorados judicial code but could not afford to buy a copy of the laws. They elected legislators and senators for the territory and met in a government house in the tiny settlement of Beaver, but unable to afford two separate rooms the house and senate met in one room separated by a curtain. It was in this week of August 1886 that the settlers of the panhandle held the first organizational meeting for the new Cimarron Territory. Meeting in a sod house, they carved seven counties out of the strip, elected judges, who having no set of laws, couldn't really do much, and elected a representative to send to the nations capital to lobby for the creation of their new land.
The Cimarron Territory representative found little help for his cause in Washington as professional politicians labeled the group "squatters," who by settling illegally on government land were committing a federal offense. Rather than getting support for creating a new territory the representative instead received threats of arrest and fines. The Cimarron Territory issue was immediately tabled and never brought up again in Washington. The hopes and dreams of over 12,000 settlers were dashed when the representative returned with the bad news. By 1888 a severe drought prompted some of the panhandle population to leave, and when the great land run of April 1889 occurred even more people left the once imagined Territory of Cimarron. Shortly after the land run of 1889 the panhandle was annexed to Oklahoma Territory as Beaver County, and settlers there were officially recognized by the US government.
Territorial dreams finally realized this week on the Almanac.
I'm Steven Knoche Kite.

Going Public: Darryl Carter's First Boutique
Thanks to his first boutique, Washington, D.C.based designer Darryl Carter can now share his refined vision
By Laura Regensdorf
Darryl Carter's New Boutique
Long live restoration, Darryl Carter says, with the laugh of someone who understands its challenges. In the 1990s, while still a lawyer with a decorating habit, the native Washingtonian combined four units in a Beaux Arts building, returning the apartment to its original footprint. Then he relocated to Embassy Row, setting up his residence and design firm in the former chancery of Oman. His latest projecta home decor shop and studio, opening this monthbrought him to Shaw, an up-and-coming neighborhood in northwest D.C., where, in 2008, he purchased a carriage house on a historic cobblestone alley and the 19th-century building across the courtyard.

Good morning, friends,
2 Corinthians 5:20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
I, Cara, have woken up this morning in a world of stress and worry. I put on the old shoes. Do you have a pair of old shoes? Shoes that, let's be honest, have long since lost their value. The tread is worn. The holes are visible. Yet, we keep them. Even worse, we wear them. Maybe just around the house (we wouldn't want friends to see these!). So, on they go, as the day wears on, we don't even realize the damage they are doing to our bodies, do we? Our feet begin to ache. Our legs hurt. Our back, oy! Then, I don't know about you, but I get a headache. Everything is out of alignment. All because I put on those shoes this morning.
Worry and fear are just like that. I wake up and oh, the stresses begin to weigh me down. I worry about my children. I worry about finances. I worry about making the wrong decision. I worry about…and then, not dealing with that WITH the Lord, confessing my need for Him, and arising in the strength of the Lord, I then greet my husband and children with this cloud over me. Then I begin the worry of the house not being clean, the schoolwork not being done…and I'm stressed and the family receives the brunt of my stress.
God talks in His word about feet. About beautiful feet. My feet, most certainly, this morning do not resemble these feet.
Isaiah 52:7 EXB ·How beautiful [or How beautiful on the mountains] ·is the person [L are the feet of him]
who ·comes over the mountains to bring [or brings] good news,
who announces peace
and brings good news,
who announces salvation [Nah. 1:15]
and says to ·Jerusalem [L Zion; v. 1],
"Your God ·is King [or reigns]."
I look at how I have begun my morning. When I greet the day remembering how blessed are those who bring good news. Good news. Peace. Salvation (deliverance). When I begin my day, remembering this is a fight, a battle, oh, my day can begin to turn. No excuses. No way. Instead…
Ephesians 6:10 EXB Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his ·great [strong; mighty] power. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can fight against the devil's ·evil tricks [schemes]. 12 [For] Our ·fight [conflict; struggle] is not against ·people on earth [L flesh and blood] but against the rulers and authorities and the ·powers [or cosmic powers/rulers] of this ·world's darkness [L darkness], against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly ·world [realm; places]. 13 ·That is why you need to [L For this reason,]put on God's full armor. Then on the day of evil [C persecution generally or end-time tribulation] you will be able to ·stand strong [keep your ground; resist the enemy]. And ·when you have finished the whole fight [L after you have done/accomplished everything], you will still be standing. 14 So stand ·strong [or ready], with the belt of truth tied around your waist and the ·body armor [breastplate] of ·right living [a righteous life; or God's own righteousness/justice; L righteousness]. 15 On your feet wear the ·Good News [Gospel] of peace ·to help you stand strong [for firm footing; or to be fully prepared]. 16 And ·also [in addition to all this; or in all circumstances] use the shield of faith with which you can ·stop [extinguish] all the ·burning arrows [T fiery darts] of the Evil One. 17 ·Accept[Receive; or Take] the helmet of salvation, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the ·word[message] of God. 18 Pray ·in [or in dependence on] the Spirit at all times with all ·kinds of prayers[L prayers and requests], asking for everything you need. To do this you must always be ·ready [alert]·and never give up [L with all perseverance]. Always pray for all ·God's people [T the saints].
So, instead of the old, worn out shoes of worry and fear, place the Good News of peace to stand strong. We can only be strong IN the Lord, IN His great power. I think of this prayer this morning…
The Prayer of St. Patrick
I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.
I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's hosts to save me
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a mulitude.
Christ shield me today
Against wounding
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through the mighty strength
Of the Lord of creation.

And you know what friends? This is NOT going to be a day where worry and fear win. This is a day where I remember nothing can separate me from the love of God. Christ is with me. With you. I put on the shoes of the Gospel of peace. The Good news…it's all that I need. I need to start my day!
Blessings to you! Join me in throwing those shoes OUT!

~Barbara de Angelis~
In our daily interactions we might often find ourselves feeling hurried and rushed to do everything. Busy parents scurry around the kitchen, while the kids are scrambling to grab a quick bite to eat before running off to school.
We find ourselves frustrated at work, deadlines here and there to meet. For many, the stresses around this time of year mount as people deal with family, finances, and crowds during the holiday season.
So I thought of 5 words and phrases that are amazingly elementary, but can mean so much to the giver and certainly the recipient. These are also words and phrases that I'm trying to instill in the vocabulary of my children:
Hello: Saying hello to someone is like saying "You matter enough for me to me to acknowledge your presence."
I'm Sorry: Two words that are painfully difficult to say. But when they spill forth from a place deep in the heart of the offender, and especially when they come with action to back it up, they can pack a lot of power.
Thank You: Such a simple way to recognize a deed done in your behalf, that another person did not have to do at all.
Excuse Me: I hate when my four-year-old sees adults behaving badly. During a trip to Target a while ago, I was in an aisle alone bending to look at baby food. I heard another cart approach and stop. Before I looked up, a lady's hands passed inches from my face to grab a couple jars off the shelf. I hoped my daughter was distracted. She wasn't. "Mommy, that lady was being rude. She didn't even say excuse me." From the mouth of babes.
I Love You: Too many times this expression is tossed around with no meaning or even withheld from those to whom it is owed. Tomorrow is not promised. Hopefully these are words we give of freely to those we love each day.

and Participation with support from the Australasian Cochrane Centre
If you are looking for information you can trust, to help you make choices about health for yourself or for your family, this site is for you.
It's free to access and it aims to summarize Cochrane Reviews, giving you key messages from the review of the science.
What is Cochrane?
The Cochrane Collaboration is an international, independent, not-for-profit organisation, funded by a variety of sources including governments, universities, hospital trusts, charities and personal donations. Learn more about the Collaboration here.
Cochrane's vision is that making decisions in healthcare should be informed by high-quality, timely research evidence. Each Cochrane systematic review addresses a specific question and a team of dedicated researchers then find and review the relevant clinical studies, in a systematic and unbiased way, and translate the results into information we can use. Sometimes reviews provide good evidence that a treatment does or does not work, or perhaps that it has side-effects. Sometimes the review finds that there is not enough high-quality evidence to answer the question, but it's important to know what we don't know!
What are Cochrane Reviews?
Cochrane Reviews study clinical trials in healthcare. These papers clarify the effects of medical treatments used for the care of patients. They are internationally recognised as the highest standard in evidence-based health care.
Each review considers a clearly designed question; for example: Do antibiotics reduce the symptoms of a sore throat? The next step is to locate for all the research on that topic. The quality of the studies is then compared to stringent guidelines.
The resulting data is collated and used to establish if there is decisive proof that a treatment works or does not work. In addition, all reviews are updated regularly, to ensure that your decisions are based on the most up-to-date and reliable information.
Cochrane Reviews are so widely recognized, that many countries purchase national subscriptions so everyone can access the journal. Cochrane Reviews contain the most rigorous application of scientific methods, so if you want to learn more, pay a visit to Cochrane Training.
