GDP Revised Down to 5.6% From 5.9%
WASHINGTON ( TheStreet) -- The economy expanded at its fastest pace in years in the fourth quarter, according to the government, helped by upticks in corporate spending and slower inventory reductions, among other things.
In its third and final read on the nation's gross domestic product released Friday, the Commerce Department said the economy grew at a 5.6% annual rate last quarter.
The government provides three separate estimates on quarterly GDP. In its first reading released in January, GDP reportedly rose 5.7% in the fourth quarter. That figure was revised up to 5.9% in last month's revisions, only to be amended down in this final reading. Consensus forecasts had called for growth to remain unchanged in the last revision at 5.9%, according to Briefing.com.
During the third quarter, GDP rose 2.2%. For all of 2009, the economy contracted at a 2.4% annual pace.According to the government's assessment, when compared to the previous estimate, this final reading reflects downward changes to business spending, inventories and consumer spending. The grand bulk of the economic expansion resulted from inventory adjustments. Businesses wound down inventories for much of last year, but that pace slowed immensely during the fourth quarter. According to the report, businesses slashed inventories by $139.2 billion in the third quarter and $160.2 billion in the second. But in the fourth, inventories decreased by only $19.7 billion. The change in inventories added 3.79 percentage points to the fourth-quarter GDP rise, according to the report, though that was revised down from the 3.88 percentage points estimated in the previous reading. In the third quarter, inventories added 0.69 percentage points. Corporate spending jumped 5.3% in the fourth quarter, according to the report, after retreating 5.9% in the previous quarter. Still, in its last estimate, the government said business spending increased 6.5% in the fourth. Exports surged 22.8% after rising 17.8% in the third quarter. But consumer spending rose less than originally thought, increasing only 1.6% during the quarter. The previous estimate reported a 1.7% improvement. Consumer spending picked up 2.8% during the third quarter, and slid 0.9% in the second quarter. -- Written by Sung Moss in New York

Rockford, IL – Veterans Day looks more like Memorial Day this week as the nation honors the men and women who were killed or wounded in last week's shooting at Fort Hood. They were remembered in Rockford this weekend, along with Illinois service members who have died during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. WNIJ's Susan Stephens reports.
By Mike Moen and Susan Stephens
DeKalb, IL – The state's budgeting decisions could put the health care plans of many Northern Illinois University employees at risk. Local doctors have sent a letter to state officials saying they cannot afford to wait much longer for the state to reimburse them for medical services provided to state employees. WNIJ's Mike Moen and Susan Stephens have more on this story.

Naperville, IL – A new law recently approved by a Chicago suburb has brought attention to one man's decade-long protest against city hall. Many call him homeless...but he says his street tent is a way of demonstrating against the city. This new ordinance will force him to take his message elsewhere. WNIJ's Mike Moen reports:
DeKalb, IL – As October winds down, the investigation into Northern Illinois University's police chief continues. Donald Grady is accused of threatening a student journalist. He's been placed on administrative leave, and is in danger of losing his job. As WNIJ's, Mike Moen, reports, this isn't the first time Grady has had to face critics:
DeKalb, IL – It's been more than a year and a half since five students were shot to death in a classroom at Northern Illinois University. Now people who were affected by that tragedy can find some peace in a newly-completed memorial garden, featuring a sculpture many are finding inspirational. WNIJ's Mike Moen reports.

Warrenville, IL – It has been nearly a year since any construction has taken place at the site of an NIU affiliated proton cancer treatment center in DuPage County. Things are much different, however, at the site of its nearby rival. ProCure Incorporated recently installed its all important cancer-killing proton-beam cyclotron. WNIJ's Christopher Hosken watched the delivery of the 220-ton component and filed this report.
DeKalb, IL – A report based on newly-released Census numbers shows poverty is on the rise in Illinois. Over the past eight years, the number people living in poverty jumped by nearly a quarter million.
WNIJ's Susan Stephens spoke with one of the people behind that report: Amy Rynell is with the Chicago-based Social Impact Research Center.

DeKalb, IL – In the 1960s, Tom Lehrer's satirical songs achieved cult status on college campuses. Now, a new generation of students has a chance to experience his biting wit. Northern Illinois University's School of Theatre and Dance is presenting "Tomfoolery," a revue of Tom Lehrer's songs, September 24-October 4. WNIJ's Guy Stephens has more:
Rockford, IL – For the second Saturday in a row, people marched in the streets of Rockford because of tensions heightened by last month's police shooting of a man in a church daycare center.
Last Saturday, Reverend Jesse Jackson led what was billed as a "Unity March" for justice, jobs, and education. This weekend, the march was in support of the police officers involved in the shooting. WNIJ's Susan Stephens reports:
DeKalb, IL – Small business owners are paying attention to the health-care debate, and what it means for them. WNIJ's, Mike Moen, discussed the issue with the owner of a long-time business in downtown DeKalb:

Rate Dr. Brad Mechor
Dr. Brad Mechor's Ratings
I saw Dr. Mechor yesterday to address sinus issues after having a septoplasty done by another doctor several years ago and it was like having a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Not only did he validate my pain, but he actually honestly addressed that the last surgery I had was completely over the top (I had consented to a septoplasty but the doctor went in and did major sinus surgery, removing most of my turbinates). Despite being terrified of surgery after the last fiasco I went through I'm beginning to feel more at ease with my options. The last doctor I went to just looked up my nose with a light and told me I needed surgery, whereas Dr. Mechor actually went in with an endoscope and took pictures (and took the time to go through the pictures with me and explain what he saw), and is sending me for a CT before definitively determining my course of treatment. He spoke to me like an actual human being (since I'm in my early 20s most doctors have a tendency to speak to me like I'm a toddler), his staff is kind and helpful, and the appointment actually started on time. It is so rare to find a doctor that is as attentive, yet still good at their job as Dr. Mechor. I would recommend to anyone having sinus issues.

Dr Brad is one the Best ENT specialist I have ever seen , I had so far 7 Endo Sinus surgeries done in the past before I met Dr Bad and never felt like my sinus problems will be cured , at one point I lost hope on life because of the chronic sinus issues I have.
After my recent surgery with Dr Brad I regained my life back , I got my sense of smell , no more sinus headaches, no more issues in breathing .. everything is good . He did explained me about the problems I have and helped me recover from my problems, He has very thorough knowledge in the subject and knows most of the root causes for the problem.
I recommend Dr Brad to each and every patient

Dr Mechor performed an open Rhinoplasty on me on July 2014. I had a boxy tip, also I wanted a little bit of tip rotation, a nicer profile and a fix for my deviated septum. Dr Mechor did a great job fixing my deviated septum and removing the bulb on my nose, my profile looks way better and I am very happy overall. I can breathe better too. The recovery time was very short, he has gentle hands I can say. After 5 days my cast was removed, even if it was still swollen I could see I the nice results. My nose looks better every day. I was told the final results will be seen after 1 year. I am happy I chose Dr Mechor to do my surgery! Thanks a bunch!

Nadine seems a little short on the phone as far as staff goes but other than that had an excellent consultation visit with Brad! Booked the sinus surgery and had it completed. Brad was good in reassuring me that things wold be fine as i was quite worried about the surgery. Great guy, confident! Going in for post-op shortly, hope all is on track!

I had an excellent experience with this doctor. After a functional nose job I started to have breathing problems. My surgeon and original ENT couldn't see the problem but within 5 mins Dr. Mechor saw it. A year later, after I had healed, he offered an alternative low impact repair. When I chose to have it more invasively repaired, which he recommended against, he willingly recommended a very good Doctor who could help me. Some procedures require many years of experience and instead of risking doing further harm he sent me to someone with 18 years of experience doing difficult revisions. The referral was sent immediately and I had a phone call and appointment the next day! Absolutely no delays, so professional. The Doctor he refered me too was also excellent an listened well. Dr. Mechor is one of the few Doctors I have meet with a good bedside maner. He actually cared about me as a person. On top of it all he showed compassion and sympathy. He also offered me post operative care as the doctor he refered me to was out of town. He is office ran on time and his staff are helpful and willing to answer questions. An all round good experience.

With regard to Dr. Mechor, I had waited almost two months to see him and he completely brushed me off! I have had a chronic cough for almost a year and was told by my family doctor as well as Rockyview's radiology team that a pre-existing condition was causing me sinus problems, post-nasal drip and my chronic cough. The only thing he did was put the scope in my nose and ears, which he proceeded to tell me was fine and he also rejected the radiologists report & said they were incorrect. If there was anyone incorrect, it would be Dr. Mechor. He told me my chronic cough was caused by smoking (which I have only smoked for 4 pack years & put me on a guilt trip for smoking) and acid reflux... well I take an acid reducer twice daily that keeps it under control so it doesn't cause that AND I have been to gastroenterologist that has stated that my cough is NOT caused by acid reflux supported by endoscopy. He made the acid reflux assertion but didn't even look in my throat! I thought an ear, nose and throat doctor would look in my throat with his scope! I felt extremely rushed, the appt only lasted 15 mins and he sent me on my way. His ego is astronomical, he would be much better if he dealt with lab rats all day, not people; as far as his bedside manner goes he DOES NOT even have one. I also think that I was disregarded because I'm in my 20s, which is a horrible way to practice medicine and is age discrimination. If you're looking for help, DO NOT go to Dr. Mechor and I WILL be seeking a second opinion.

One of the best doctors I have ever seen in my life. He is a true genius, and I am so grateful to have him looking after my sinus issues.

Dr. Brad fixed my sinuses and septum. He has accommodated my unusual schedule several times. With him, you are not trading personality for professional ability. He has it all. My surgery exceed expectations. There was always a forum for my questions. It has only been a week, and I can breathe through my nose, it is straight, and the bruising is almost all gone. I knew I was in good hands, when they wheeled me into the OR, and 'For those about to rock' was playing. Too funny.

Leather Case For iPod Touch 3rd Gen / 2nd Gen / Black
Posted: 16/03/2011
Very good quality and does the job. Probably one of the best leather cases I have seen for my ipod. At this price it's quite a bargain!
There are two reasons I gave it 4 stars and not 5.1. There is a small leather strip in the inside to cover the inner side (left side) of the ipod/iphone. It's a good thing, but I find it irratating when playing games or trying to select something right in the corner.
2. I found it hard to type with two hands. I think the cover flap comes a little in my way.
Well these are my opinions. Others may find things different. I have worked a way round the above issues. I keep my ipod in my silicone case for protecttion, then place that in the leather case for screen protection! A bit bulky but gets the job done!

indeed a microcosm of A's season, but I can't really blame anyone on the team for the loss. The Royals out-hustled and out small-balled the A's. 7 stolen bases, 5 of them in the 8th & 9th innings! Hard for anyone to stop that. I'm a die-hard A's fan, but I gotta give the Royals credit for playing a great game... As for the Giants, they looked damn good!

Seneca Lake is the largest of the glacial Finger Lakes of the U.S. state of New York, and the deepest lake entirely within the state. It is promoted as being the lake trout capital of the world, and is host of the National Lake Trout Derby. Because of its depth and relative ease of access, the US Navy uses Seneca Lake to perform test and evaluation of equipment ranging from single element transducers to complex sonar arrays and systems.[1] The lake takes its name from the Seneca nation of Native Americans. At the north end of Seneca Lake is the city of Geneva, New York, home of Hobart and William Smith Colleges and the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, a division of Cornell University. At the south end of the lake is the village of Watkins Glen, New York, famed for auto racing and waterfalls.
Due to Seneca Lake's unique macroclimate it is home to over 50 wineries, many of them farm wineries and is the location of the Seneca Lake AVA. (See Seneca Lake wine trail).
At 38 miles (61 km) long, it is the second longest of the Finger Lakes and has the largest volume, estimated at 4.2 trillion US gallons (16 km³), roughly half of the water in all the Finger Lakes. It has a maximum depth of 618 feet (188 m),[2] and a mean depth of 291 feet (89 m). It has a surface area of 42,800 acres (173 km2).
The two main inlets are Catharine Creek at the southern end and the Keuka Lake Outlet. Seneca Lake outlets into the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, which joins Seneca and Cayuga Lakes at their northern ends.
It is fed by underground springs and replenished at a rate of 328,000 gallons (29,520 m³) per minute. These springs keep the water moving in a constant circular motion, giving it little chance to freeze over. Because of Seneca Lake's great depth its temperature remains a near-constant 39 °F (4 °C).[3] During the summer months however, the top 10 to 15 feet (3.0 to 4.6 m) does warm up to a pleasant 70–80 °F (21–27 °C).
Seneca lake has a typical aquatic population for large deep lakes in the northeast, with coldwater fish such as Lake Trout and Atlantic Salmon inhabiting the deeper waters, and warmwater fish such as Smallmouth Bass and Yellow Perch inhabiting the shallower areas. The lake is also home to a robust population of "Sawbellies", the local term for Gizzard shad.
Over 200 years ago, there were Iroquois villages on Seneca Lake's surrounding hillsides. During the American Revolutionary War, their villages, including Kanadaseaga ("Seneca Castle") were wiped out during the Sullivan Expedition by troops that invaded their homeland to punish them for assisting the British. Today roadside signs trace Sullivan and Clinton's route along the east side of Seneca Lake where the burning of villages and crops occurred.
After the war, the land of the Iroquois was parceled out to veterans of the army in payment for their military service. A slow stream of white settlers began to arrive circa 1790. Initially the settlers were without a market nearby or a way to get their crops to market. The settlers' isolation abruptly ended, though, in the 1820s with the opening of the Erie Canal.
The canal linked the Finger Lakes Region to the outside world. Steamships, barges and ferries quickly became Seneca Lake's ambassadors of commerce and trade. The former, short Crooked Lake Canal linked Seneca Lake to Keuka Lake.
There are numerous canal barges resting on the bottom of the lake. A collection of barges on the southwest end of the lake, near the village of Watkins Glen, is being preserved and made accessible for scuba diving by the Finger Lakes Underwater Preserve Association.
Painted rocks[edit]
The painted rocks located at the southern end of the lake on the eastern cliff face depict an American Flag, Tee-pee, and several Native Americans. As the story goes, back in the late 18th century when General John Sullivan was avenging the Wyoming and Cherry-Valley Massacres, he chased a group of renegade Native Americans, up from present day Athens, Pennsylvania (then known as Tioga Point) through the valley, to a point somewhere along the cliffs. The Indians escaped down a narrow footpath to canoes that they had hidden earlier in the underbrush. They used these canoes to paddle across the lake to safety. Later they came back and painted these paintings in commemoration of their escape. The paintings found along the bottom of the cliff are the originals, the American flag and the tee-pee were added in 1929 during the Sullivan Sesquicentennial.[citation needed]
The painted rocks may not be authentic Native-American paintings as the Seneca Indians lived in longhouses not the tee-pee used by western Native-American tribes. Historian Barbara Bell suggests that the paintings may have been made for tourists on Seneca Lake boat tours[4]
Guns of the Seneca[edit]
Seneca Lake is also the site of a strange and currently unexplained phenomenon known as Mistpouffers. In this area, they are called the Seneca Guns, Lake Drums, or Lake Guns. These are mysterious cannon-like booms and shakes that are heard and felt in the surrounding area. The term Lake Guns originated in the short story "Lake Gun" by James Fenimore Cooper in 1851.[5] Many[by whom?] believe that they are caused by giant air bubbles from deep in the lake bursting on the surface, which is not believed to be true[by whom?]. Others[by whom?] equate it with Indian folklore. The most widely accepted explanation is due to sonic booms from military aircraft, though this does not explain the sounds heard during Cooper's time.[6] The theory has not been proven, however, there is a significant amount of natural gas trapped in the bedrock (including the Marcellus Shale and the Utica Shale) below the lake. The lake is over 600 feet deep in places. When a bubble of natural gas escapes from the bedrock hundreds of feet below water level and rises through the water, it expands due to lessening pressure. When these bubbles break the surface, they produce a create the significant booming noise. The booming noises happen day and night throughout the year. Evidence for this theory is supported by the decrease in the frequency of the sounds since oil/gas exploration drilling has increased in the area (these drill into the bedrock and release built up pressure).
The east side of Seneca Lake was once home to a military training ground called Sampson Naval Base, primarily used during World War II. It became Sampson Air Force Base during the Korean War and was used for basic training. After Sampson AFB closed, the airfield remained as Seneca Army Airfield but was closed in 2000.[7] The training grounds of Sampson have since been converted to a civilian picnic area called Sampson State Park.[citation needed]
There is still a Naval facility at Seneca Lake, the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Sonar test facility, where a scale model of the sonar section of the nuclear submarine USS Seawolf (SSN 21) was tested during the development of this ship.[citation needed]
Water quality buoy[edit]
There is a YSI EMM-2500 Buoy Platform located in the north end of Seneca Lake roughly in the center. Its coordinates are: latitude: 42°41'49.99"N, longitude: 76°55'29.93"W. The buoy has cellular modem communications and measures wind speed and direction, relative humidity, air temperature, barometric pressure, light intensity, and the water's depth and temperature, conductivity, turbidity, and chlorophyll-a levels.[8]
The buoy was initially deployed in June 2006. The water depth where it is located is about 200 feet (61 m).[9]
Viticulture and winemaking in the area date back to the 19th century, with the foundation of the Seneca Lake Wine Company in 1866 marking the first major winery in the area. The modern era of wine production began in the 1970s with the establishment of several wineries and the passage of the New York Farm Winery Act of 1976.[10] The region was established as an American Viticultural Area in 1988.[citation needed]
Seneca Lake Wine Trail hosts many events on and around the lake, annually. With more than 30 wineries currently located on the shores of Seneca Lake, the winter 'Deck the Halls' event is a great time at the lake with participating wineries showcasing their vintages and pairing these wines with distinctive, tasty treats. Wineries also provide participants with an ornament at each stop to commemorate the event. 2011 marks the 20th anniversary of this event.

Scottsdale Community College defensive coordinator Doug Madoski has been named the replacement for outgoing football coach Ken Giovando.
Madoski was chosen from a pool of 95 applicants with high school and college coaching experience. He was informed of the decision Thursday morning.
"I'm excited about the opportunity of being a head coach, especially at Scottsdale," Madoski said. "I'm going to try to get this program on a consistent basis to become a top junior-college program."
The Artichokes had the second-ranked defense nationally two seasons ago under his tutelage.
"We think he'll do a good job," Scottsdale athletic director Art Becker said. "He's got a good plan."
Madoski spent one year at San Joaquin Delta (Calif.) Community College as an offensive line coach before joining Scottsdale. He played collegiately at Utah State and professionally in the Canadian Football League.
After losing five games by a combined 15 points this season, Madoski said he will emphasize discipline and hard work to get Scottsdale back among the nation's elite.
"I don't know how much talent we have, but I know that we're going to work really hard," Madoski said.
"We're going to have that blue-collar attitude and work every day with a hard hat on."

'Liquid' batteries could charge electric cars faster
MIT researchers have innovated the next generation of electric car batteries.
Thu, Jun 09, 2011 at 02:44 PM
Image: Dreamstime
A new breed of quick-charge "liquid" batteries could help make recharging electric cars as easy as filling up at the gas pump.
Electric cars may be driving the auto industry toward a greener future, but a great number of issues still need to be resolved for them to catch up with their petroleum-guzzling forebears with regard to performance and desirability.
Perhaps the biggest problem facing electric auto designers lies in the battery: large and inefficient, today's standard rechargeable lithium-ion batteries take hours to replenish and are suitable only for short distances. Chevy's Volt model, for instance, takes nearly 10 hours to fully charge using an ordinary 120 volt outlet, and is able to travel only 25-50 miles before resorting to its backup gas engine.
Thanks to a group of MIT researchers, however, a new generation of leaner, more powerful, and easy-to-refuel batteries may be just around the corner. In a paper published in the May 20 edition of the journal Advanced Energy Materials, the group — led by MIT professors of material science Yet-Ming Chiang and W. Craig Carter — describe a novel approach to battery architecture that revolves around what they call a "semi-solid flow cell." [Read also "History Repeats Itself: Carmakers Again Put Electric Vehicles in Fast Lane"]
Essentially, the new design houses the battery's active components — the positive and negative electrodes, or cathodes and anodes — as solid particles suspended in a liquid electrolyte. This thick, quicksand-like liquid is pumped through the system during the process of charging or discharging the battery. According to MIT, the architecture should make it possible to reduce the size and cost of a complete battery system to about "half the current levels," while providing a "10-fold improvement in energy density over present liquid flow batteries."
"For two decades, advances in batteries have relied on development of improved components to be used in the same basic, inefficient architecture," Chiang told TechNewsDaily. "Our work represents the inception of 'Batteries 2.0.'"
The batteries will hopefully bring the performance levels of electric vehicles up to par with their gas engine counterparts. Using the semi-solid flow architecture, Chiang estimates a car will be able to travel 200-300 miles on a single charge.
"Our objective is to replace 'range anxiety' with 'range euphoria,'" he says.
Additionally, the new design will make refueling a snap. Drivers will have the option of either simply pumping out the liquid slurry and replacing it with a fresh batch, swapping out the tanks like you would a spare tire, or recharging the existing material when time permits.
The technology is still at an early stage of development—Chiang expects the first commercial prototypes to be ready in about two years, but foresees the semi-solid flow system challenging the current cell-module-pack approach by the end of the decade.

Best ten Strategies For Understanding Piano ChordsSubmitted by percyg on Wed, 12/05/2012 - 16:08
How can you pursue your dreams of becoming the most effective pianist? Whatever your goals are, you will need to devote a good amount of time practicing and mastering your skills. For many fantastic tips on how to achieve success, examine our ideas on exactly what it will take!
1. Steer clear of possessing busy schedules.
The piano will not be something which can be learned overnight, or without the required time commitments. To receive exceptional results, just like anything at all, you need to practice daily. You need to make it a daily commitment, so you'll anticipate excellent final results. Lessen your workload, so you are going to have ample time to take piano lessons and master your expertise.
2. Set some time to train often.
Do your very best to allot a handful of hours each day to train. Should you set aside practicing and place this activity at the bottom of the to-do list, you may be too fatigued already to play the piano. Regardless of whether it is for just a couple of minutes, try and fit it into your current day-to-day routine.
3. Aim to practice the essential techniques from day 1.
You can find it problematical to mend your "incorrect" technique down the line in the event you keep practicing the incorrect method. You will need considerably longer to "unlearn" an inaccurate technique in the future compared to performing it right from the very beginning. Make sure that you simply observe precision and accuracy every single time you practice, so you may not create the habit of using the incorrect keys within your pieces.
4. Be your personal critic.
While you train, learn to assess the sound and pace you are applying. You will certainly understand when something is certainly not correct, because your ear will probably be fine tuned for this. Then, correct your mistakes before these become habitual. Always remember the advise of your trainer, or video instructions while you're practicing.
5. Break down your piano parts into sections.
This suggestion is incredibly useful in case you will need to practice an extremely long piece. Divide the piece into numerous, tiny sections. Right until you have perfected every one of them, keep practicing every segment independently. Once you believe you've mastered them, combine them together and listen to the wonderful music you will be seeing and hearing your self perform. Your aim is to work on every one of the fine details of the piece, so you can prevent committing mistakes which will ruin your overall performance.
6. Assess the small details.
You are going to observe numerous notations applied in music like the tempo, accidentals, finger numbers, and dynamic markings. Try and figure out the meaning of all of the symbols and terms within your piece, so you realize the correct method of practicing it. Whilst training, use a music glossary on hand in order to look things up when needed.
7. Warm up with some technical routines.
Just like athletes and actors, pianists ought to warm up before rehearsing. It is possible to start out with five-finger exercise, and proceed to some thing intricate such as arpeggios and scales. Make an effort to start out gradually and give yourself some time to warm-up.
8. Practice one-hand portions.
Training with only one hand is an excellent way to get warmed up and also to learn a detailed piece. It's essential to comprehend that your brain needs to become used to coordinating both hands jointly. Take this phase slowly and concentrate until eventually you get it correct.
9. Spend some time to study the theory.
You need to learn music theory, so you'll discover the ease in learning the piece. For instance, try and analyze why certain notes need to be in sharp or flat. To be aware of how music is formed, study chord composition, notes, and theory.
10. Work on harmonie by simply counting out loud.
There's a chance you're tempted to cheat the rhythm of the piece, but try to avoid this. You could possibly carry this into your performances so steer clear of this, as it might turn out to be habit. Within your head, it may possibly sound fantastic; however, your audience will have the impression that your performance is really a cluttered mess. Aim to feel the tempo and rhythm of the music, and you ought to really feel each and every beat. A metronome is a great tool for this purpose.
In Conclusion
Despite the fact that learning the way to play the piano could be tedious, you may appreciate the wonderful results if you are in a position to perfect this skill. Using the right attitude and strategy, practicing can be a satisfying and fulfilling experience.

1). Study Jazz. No musicians
1). Study Jazz. No musicians understand chords and theory better.
All well and good, but here are realities.
I began diligently acquiring the skills at a young enough age, but my hands ceased to grow, and so I will forever be limited in my ability to play. (I do alright, I can rock me some Beethoven, but I have to cheat.) But I really came to understand chords when I changed to the guitar, after 11 years of formal piano training.
And you cannot ignore those who truly have a gift, who somehow find the music at their fingertips.
Love or fear? Choose again with every breath.
These are great for
getting the most out of practice and developing good concentration and discipline. Music is a discipline, and that is what so many people fail to understand or do not wish to accept!
To better address the actual TITLE of your post (and point # 9), which is to understand chords, it is helpful to realize that music (western) can be easily boiled down into a relatively small number of chords, or note combinations. These are intimidating for a lot of folks to learn and understand (which is often a result of how they are taught--or rather not taught when they should be), but it doesn't have to be this way! The real difference between one chord and another is interval, or the amount of "musical space" between the notes in each chord (actually, distance between frequencies). This can easily be visualized!
Under all melodies are chords and scales that fit over those chords. Instead of always resorting to rote memorization of notes--in, say, a classical piece--in the linear order in which they appear on musical staff, there is great value in first learning the chord structures underneath, which contain all of those "correct" notes. They are patterns, really. Learn the patterns first, and then you'll recognize them when they appear in music, plus you'll have the muscle memory of those patterns under your fingers... be they scales or chords.
What is cool is that there is not an overwhelming number of these patterns. It helps to "see" music to get a sense of the relationships between notes to better understand this.
To get a visual sense of this, check out this short clip:

Nice summary
I will pass this on to my students :)

text: Zoloft hopeful I suffer from both anxiety and depression and fatigue. I take wellbutrin for the fatigue and depression and it works fairly well, but causes some anxiety. That's where zoloft comes in to help, hopefully with the anxiety. I also don't think of the wellbutrin as being that great for the depression, at least by itself. So I hope from the zoloft to achieve help from both the depression and anxiety. I've been on 400mgs of wellbutrin for a couple of months, but only on the zoloft for a couple of weeks. So far, nothing bad as far as side effects (50mgs a day), but no relief from the anxiety yet. I will update this in a couple of more weeks. So far, I'm glad I'm trying it.

First, from the Plants traits line, Vine Lash is really handy to have. Nature players tend to be a bit more squishy than the heartier classes, so being able to effectively pull mobs away from the pack is really very essential. If you head down the left side of the trait tree you can pick up Impaling Thorns or Briar at lower levels, both of which are solid damage powers to have on hand.

Cowboys' Bryant looks like a leader
|Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant (88) gets by cornerback Brandon Carr (39) for the reception during NFL football training camp, Tuesday, July 23, 2013, in Oxnard, Calif. (AP Photo/Gus Ruelas)
OXNARD, Calif. (AP) -- Dez Bryant moves from one set of autograph-seekers to another, fans screaming his name while he signs footballs and jerseys — and a baby.
The Dallas receiver is the star of training camp, playing like a leader and even talking like one after his first trouble-free offseason in three years.
The high-risk draft pick who fell to the Cowboys late in the first round in 2010 is very close to getting reclassified as high-reward — if he's not already there.
"I'm just impressed at this stage with how he's handled himself," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "Those that are the closest to him, those that have a dog in the fight, so to speak, which our fans do — a lot of other people are rooting for Dez, too — it's a consensus that he's making great strides."
Bryant's lowest point in a series of misadventures came last summer, when he was arrested on a misdemeanor family violence charge over an incident involving his mother. He struck a deal with prosecutors a few months later that could lead to a clean record and was one of the best receivers in the league in the second half of a breakthrough season.
Coming off career bests of 1,382 yards, 12 touchdowns and three games played with a broken finger, Bryant has been downright dominant early in training camp. He soars over starting cornerbacks Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne to make catches and is diving for balls more than six weeks before the regular season starts.
"Truth be told, I love this game so much," Bryant said Tuesday. "Even if we weren't getting paid, I'd still be probably be out and be a football player. That's what I love to do. You've got to have a strong passion to be great."
There was never any questioning Bryant's talent or passion. But he missed most of his final season at Oklahoma State for lying about meeting with Deion Sanders, and there were whispers that he was late for team meetings in Dallas.

Pizza Inn Holdings, Inc. Reports Results For Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2013
"Restaurant sales were heavily impacted by a weak start to the fiscal quarter," said Chief Executive Officer Randy Gier. "January was particularly challenging to the industry as consumers adjusted to the changes in their take-home pay resulting from the expiration of the payroll tax cuts and delays in federal income tax refunds."
"Pizza Inn sales performance has also been impacted by restaurant closings primarily as a result of non-renewals of expiring franchise agreements," said Gier. "We are moving forward with a stronger performing restaurant base operated by committed franchisees. We have been working with our Pizza Inn franchise leadership team to improve product quality and to develop marketing programs to promote our unique product offerings."
"We continued to expand our Pie Five concept with the opening of another Company-owned restaurant during the fiscal third quarter," said Randy Gier. "We are pleased with the sales performance of those restaurants that are now approaching the 18 month maturity window. On the franchise side, we awarded two additional multi-unit franchise agreements during the quarter, bringing the total to four awarded this fiscal year, providing for up to 38 Pie Five restaurants to be developed under these agreements. In April, our first Pie Five franchise location was opened in Holladay, Utah."
"We now have nine company-owned Pie Five restaurants operating in different types of trade areas across the Dallas - Ft. Worth market and several more in development. Our experience operating these restaurants has provided us with valuable learning to drive the success of future company and franchise restaurants as we accelerate into our next phase of development.""We have identified the characteristics of our best performing sites and continue to elevate our product offering. Additionally, we continue to strengthen the team and solidify operating procedures to drive consistency, efficiency, and profitability," concluded Gier.

marker.to: annotate a webpage and share it
There is a webpage with lots of useful information and you want to highlight/annotate some parts of it for future references.
In my current case, I want to watch the videos of PyCon US 2013 but I don't have much time so it will take some weeks till I finish them. In the meantime, I don't want to forget which ones I had already seen. It would be nice if I could add some custom notes to the webpage that lists the videos. In addition, I want to see/edit my annotations at home and at my workplace too, i.e. it should be web-based.
Marker.to is a browser extension that does exactly this.
"Have you ever used a marker pen for highlighting your paper documents?
Marker.to will do the same for webpages! After you install a browser extension or bookmarklet and run Marker simply by clicking on the icon, you can highlight text on a website with your mouse.
Annotating helps to point out important information in long articles. Our annotator creates a special link for the highlighted version of the page (like http://marker.to/XYZ123). You can share it through Twitter, Facebook, e-mail, IM etc. Or just bookmark it with your favorite bookmarking tool, i.e. Delicious.

I wouldn't say never on MM8. Anniversary Collection had it included and it was for the GameCube among other systems, so I don't think there is a problem with liscensing.
I'm not going to complain one single bit about GBA being on Wii U and not 3DS right now, regardless of how much sense it makes. However, the subheading for this article really got my attention: "Business needs trump the natural order".
In my opinion, a good way to include both of these would be to have by now introduced GameCube titles into the Virtual Console. The "natural order" would expect Wii U to be able to handle these games as those systems which closely resemble the Wii U's power (Xbox 360 and Ps3) both had original Xbox games and Ps2 games added to their library. Hell even N64 games have yet to make an appearance on the Wii U VC, although it is almost a foregone conclusion that they will be added at "some point". That point should have been about six months ago in my honest opinion, and by this point we should be seeing GC games being introduced.
Got Lost Levels from the Club rewards a couple months back, so I think I'll be upgrading right about now.
As a kid, I distinctly remember going to the store with my dad to buy Sonic 3 for the Genesis. When I got back out to the car, I realized that they had mistakenly sold me a GameGear Sonic game, so we took it back in and returned it. Instead of getting Sonic 3, I ended up getting Aladdin at the last minute.
As big of a Sonic fan as I was and still am to this day, I have never regretted changing my decision on getting this game instead. It was simply brilliant, and is a constant reminder of how bad video games based on movies or shows these days are compared to the glory days of old.
Will wait for the next batch of 3D classics for Altered Beast and Sonic 1... Contra 3 is a must-have though.

When Karina moved to Miami Beach from Eastern Europe in 2007, she used no nicotine, no alcohol, no drugs, nothing. Although she'd had a problem in her midteens with booze and MDMA, the 22-year-old was determined to begin her new life in America clean and sober.
Soon after she arrived, however, she fell in with a crowd of hard-partying Russians and began drinking again. Before long, she started snorting cocaine to wake herself up when she drank too much vodka. But it was only when she met a group of local gay men who hung out at clubs that her drug use really took off.
Now Karina (not her real name) was doing not only coke but also molly, GHB, and the animal tranquilizer ketamine. Strangely, when she tried crystal meth for the first time, she fell asleep on the toilet and missed work. She was often seen on the dance floor wearing a fanny pack — which she dubbed "the crack pack" — containing not just drugs but also sugar packets, Pedialyte strips, and a banana that helped her ease the inevitable crash. Her friends called her "Dyson," after the vacuum cleaner, because of her ability to suck up large amounts of cocaine. Still, she remained functional — she held down a demanding day job as a computer programmer that often involved 12- to 14-hour shifts. And she never took drugs at work.
But then a couple of her comrades became addicted, and others lost their jobs. She found that the older she got, the longer it took to recover from drug binges. Today she restricts herself to alcohol and cocaine, but, she admits, even that's difficult, especially given the environment. "It's hard not to take drugs living in South Beach," she says in heavily accented English. "Different types of drugs are everywhere, and people share them all the time. This is not a town where it's easy to be straight-edged."
So-called polydrug use — mixing various street drugs and/or prescription drugs either sequentially or simultaneously — will probably be in evidence this week as Winter Music Conference and then Ultra Music Festival hit Miami. Some of the estimated 300,000 people expected to attend the events might consume potentially dangerous drug cocktails while ignorant of the potential pitfalls. Just how dangerous was recently underscored by the death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was discovered last month on the bathroom floor of his Greenwich Village townhouse with a needle stuck in his arm. What was initially reported as a suspected fatal heroin overdose turned out be a polydrug death involving not only heroin but also cocaine, amphetamine, and prescription tranquilizers. A combo of heroin and alcohol is bad enough. That's what killed Glee star Cory Monteith, who was found surrounded by empty champagne bottles and drug wrappers in a Vancouver hotel room last July. Combining heroin and cocaine — a "speedball" — is even worse. That's what killed comedian John Belushi. But two stimulants piled on top of two depressants? Reason columnist Jacob Sullum speculates the stimulants might have masked the effects of the depressants, causing Hoffman to take more heroin than usual.
Celebrities and electronic-music fans aren't the only ones consuming dangerous drug cocktails. Increasingly, ordinary consumers are turning to perilous polydrug use. In Florida, there were 117 heroin-related deaths in 2012 (the last year for which numbers are available), only one of which was heroin on its own, a single case in Sanford, according to the state medical examiner's office.
And it's not just heroin. In Miami, there wasn't a single cocaine-related death that didn't involve other substances. The most common ingredient found locally in fatal drug mixes is the prescription tranquilizer benzodiazepine (followed by alcohol, oxycodone, and cocaine), not surprising perhaps because in recent years Florida has stood at the epicenter of a massive wave of prescription drug abuse that only now is subsiding.
In 2009, James N. Hall, a drug epidemiologist at Nova Southeastern University, conducted an analysis of 1,185 Florida oxycodone deaths in which the drug was considered to be the main cause. Seventy-two percent also had one or more benzodiazepines in their systems at the time of death, and 42 percent had at least one other opioid in addition to oxycodone.
On the national level, drug deaths have doubled in the past decade to surpass automobile fatalities and gun homicides as the leading cause of accidental death in America. The reason is not that more people are using drugs but that people are using more dangerous combinations. "Substance abuse in America has become more dangerous, more addictive, and more deadly than any other period in our lifetimes," says Hall, who recently warned of an "emerging heroin epidemic" in Florida.
The list of famous actors and musicians killed over the years by polydrug use is long. Jimi Hendrix died from barbiturates and alcohol. Janis Joplin expired from heroin and alcohol. Whitney Houston was killed by a toxic combo of alcohol, cocaine, Xanax, the antihistamine DBH, and a muscle relaxant. Chris Farley, River Phoenix, Alice in Chains' Layne Staley, and Philip Seymour Hoffman all died from mixing cocaine with heroin or morphine.
Not just in America but also in the UK, the '90s rave scene played a particularly important role in popularizing polydrug use. "Modern patterns of polysubstance abuse go back to the mid-1990s rave scene when ecstasy was usually MDMA," Hall says. "Yet even back then, ecstasy did not always live up to its name. Users who expected more of a stimulant rush would begin their weekend with a snorted line of cocaine [or] try LSD... More experienced crashers would ultimately turn to heroin to bring them down after the weekend binge."
Flash forward to today, and the rave scene has been reborn as EDM, and ecstasy has been rebranded molly. Many EDM fans believe they are safe because they take only one substance, molly, which is supposed to be pure MDMA. The reality is that most molly contains little or no MDMA and often consists of some hideous polydrug combination of various cathinones (bath salts), methamphetamine, and whatever the drug dealer happens to have lying around when he or she fills the capsules.
The role of alcohol in these mixes is particularly problematic. Many polydrug users don't think vodka or tequila is a drug because it's legal and ubiquitous. But sometimes it can act as a hidden catalyst that turns a hazardous combo into a fatal one. How many people have woken up after a night of binging on cocaine, opened their fridge to find an empty bottle inside, and wondered, How the hell did I drink a liter of vodka last night?
Similarly with prescription drugs, there's a widely held belief that because a doctor prescribed the drug, it's pure, and pure means safe. With a few obvious exceptions — such as fentanyl-laced heroin, the cause of more than 80 deaths in the Northeast within only the past few weeks — oftentimes pure drugs are just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, than adulterated ones.
Another problem is that polydrug users think because a drug's high has worn off, the substance is no longer active in their bodies. That's simply not true. The toxic half-life of opiates, for example, can last for days after the initial high, so when the user redoses with more opiates or another type of drug, he or she can turn already-dangerous levels of toxicity into a deadly poison.
As the old saying goes, choose your poison (or poisons) carefully — because chemistry is not a DJ mix set.
But there is good news: The wave of prescription drug abuse so prevalent in recent years has begun to decline. The bad news: Lately, a new wave of drugs, so-called research chemicals from Chinese factories, has flooded the market. Adding another x-factor to an already-volatile mix, some of these substances are so obscure that not even DEA chemists can identify them.
"Polysubstance abuse is not new, but it has exploded in the 21st Century, fueled by wide-scale prescription drug diversion and now the emergence of hundreds of synthetic chemicals from labs in China which are sold online and delivered by worldwide overnight delivery services," Hall says. "In just the last two years, small cohorts of heavy club drug users have been identified in London as well as other European cities, the United States, and, of course, South Beach. Most have consumed numerous different drugs over the past three months and continue to mix three or four substances daily."

Why are humans so unhappy?
Ixne Hendrix I have to say. He was really murdered.
as someone who was a hard drinking nightcrawler for 2 decades in NYC, and never lost his job or missed a day of work even if I had never went to bed, I feel for all of these people. It is both hard and boring and socially limiting to be straight and sober. I purposely stayed away from pills and drugs because I loved being altered, loved every thing about alcohol, and knew I would take drugs too far. "Know your dose and stay away from pills and powder" is pretty good advice. Moderation is good advice, but what fun is that? Couple years sober, with boring days and socially limited life, but at least I am not being fired or struggling through another day exhausted and nauseous. It is fun to play on the edge of of the world, but it is OK to step back, and just be happy to be alive. Breathing is pretty fun too, as opposed to not breathing.
Since she admittedly has such a hard time avoiding hard drugs in Miami Beach, perhaps a MOVE would help; the only reason she continues to live there is because she loves her rugs more than anything else.
Know your dose and stay away from pills and powders. Simple as that.

Take the time to stop in Grande-Vallée, a much photographed village, and admire its church atop the cape. The view from the lookout is absolutely marvelous. The tourist bureau in the heart of town has been adapted to meet the needs of people with a mobility impairment, and has a private parking lot that can accommodate all types of vehicles. Our friendly personnel will provide travelers with the best service available.
The Tourist welcome office is located in a village-relais, which is a safe and pleasant rest stop offering a variety of services.
