The death of new-media mogul Andrew Breitbart has not derailed his promise to provide voters a thorough "vetting" of President Barack Obama and his Administration in the months leading up to the 2012 Presidential election.
The latest installment of the "vetting" from Breitbart.com examines Attorney General Eric Holder, his past and the fatally flawed Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms Fast and Furious gunwalking campaign. The conservative news outlet published on Sunday a video of Holder that originally aired on CSPAN 2 circa 1995, wherein the future Attorney General calls for a plan to "really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way."
A portion of the clip can be viewed below:
Following the release of the video, the news outlet — in its signature publishing style — released Holder's vetting in segments, using the Attorney General's 1995 remarks to make the case that Fast and Furious had nothing to do with curbing violence in Mexico and everything to do with creating carnage to make Americans favor tougher gun laws.
Breitbart.com says of the video: "The video reveals Attorney General Holder's early, consistent, and strident enthusiasm for gun control legislation. He wanted schools to talk about anti-gun propaganda 'every day, every school, and every level.' Operation Fast and Furious—in which Holder's Department of Justice (DOJ) smuggled guns illegally to Mexican drug cartels— could finally have provided Holder the material for that anti-gun curriculum."

Whether your style is on-trend or timeless, edgy or elegant, when considering a new handbag, it's wise to have a strategy. After all, there are endless options each season, so finding the perfect clutch or a spot-on satchel can be a tricky and confusing task. In times like these, it's always nice to have a little navigational assistance, so we decided to ask some of our favorite masthead MVPs for their input on spring's must-have handbags. These influential insiders-with personal style as varied as the magazines they represent-were kind enough to share their wisdom in today's Editors' Picks with us and now we're sharing it with you! So read on for all the bag-centric counsel from Elle's Kate Lanphear, Nylon's Dani Stahl, Teen Vogue's Jane Keltner, Marie Claire's Nina Garcia, and last, but certainly not least, Vogue's Meredith Melling Burke.
Kate Lanphear, Style Director, Elle | Emilio Pucci Suede Studded Shoulder Bag ($2112)
For style stalkers who follow what editors wear outside of fashion shows as much as what designs show on the catwalk, there is no denying the cult of Kate Lanphear. Known for her black-on-black wardrobe, shock of bleach blonde hair, and take-no-prisoners heels, Lanphear's behind-the-scenes élan is as influential as the pages she styles for Elle. This spring, Lanphear is all about Emilio Pucci's Suede Studded bag; the metallic adorned flap and chain strap are perfectly in line with Lanphear's style credo, yet the decorative gold clasp adds a bit of haute gypsy into the mix. Of course, we've sussed out a couple of substitutions for her exact Peter Dundas for Pucci design: try 3.1 Phillip Lim's Edie Studded Leather Handbag ($700) or Tory Burch's Amanda Mini Bag ($350). If you are a fan of Lanphear's fashion-forward flare, you'll definitely adore these excellent alternatives!
Dani Stahl, Style Director, Nylon | Burberry Sling Bag ($1195, 310.550.4500)
Though she's considered a downtown darling, Nylon's Dani Stahl opted for a decidedly uptown spring satchel: the Burberry Sling. With feminine ruching and a classic baguette-esque shape, this accessory is the epitome of chic. And while this style comes in a variety of colors and materials (be sure to check them out here!), we love how the Nylon trendsetter took to a pale textured leather bag. (It will look great with spring's new neutrals.) Of course, feel free to try Rampage's Krista Hobo ($89) to get that high-fashion look for a high-street price-we're sure Ms. Stahl would heartily approve!
Jane Keltner, Fashion News Director, Teen Vogue | Proenza Schouler PS1 Bag ($1595)
Jane Keltner, the lovely Fashion News Director at Teen Vogue, not only has an eye for the most covetable carryalls, but she also possesses a wise investment strategy, to boot. By limiting herself to one or two new bags a year, Keltner makes sure that her choices are as timeless as they are chic-nothing with logos or branding (a sentiment echoed by big Vogue's Meredith Melling Burke) and something that will be effortless and evergreen (no "one-season-wonders," thank you very much!). Keltner heralds the PS 1 as the "new classic, like the Balenciaga motorcycle bags," and everyone from Chloe Sevigny to Leighton Meester agrees. Keltner already owns the black version, but for spring she's all about the soft gray (if a style sage like Keltner is going back for seconds, you know it's a key piece for this season and beyond!) Of course, if you can't track down the must-have PS1, or want to try something a little more budget friendly, we have a few pieces that will satisfy your cravings. Coach's Sydney Metallic Leather Shoulder Flap ($798), Francesco Biasia's Motion Flap Shoulder Bag ($650), or Steven by Steve Madden's Off The Hinges Leather Satchel ($238) are all gorgeous gray alternatives.
Nina Garcia, Fashion Director, Marie Claire | Celine Calfskin Luggage Bag ($2150, 212.826.8900)
The fashion world is still buzzing about Phoebe Philo's impeccable first collections at Celine, and for good reason. The clean lines, unfussy tailoring, and sporty silhouettes are on the top of every most-wanted list. Of course that extends to Philo's first accessory outing at the famed French house. As Nina Garcia, Marie Claire's Fashion Director succinctly puts it, the handbags, such as her must-have Calfskin Luggage style, marries the "utilitarianism and understated elegance" of Celine's S/S 10 collection, and is most certainly spring's status satchel if there ever was one! Be sure to check out this celebrity and editorial all star (Mary Kate Olsen has also been spotted toting this style around town) or, for a few more budget-friendly alternatives, try Coach's New Leather Charm Tote ($398) or Furla's Corniola Bag ($525).
Meredith Melling Burke, Senior Market Editor, Vogue | Marc Jacobs Clutch ($290)
Meredith Melling Burke has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things chic; after all, as Vogue's Senior Market Editor, it's her job! Luckily for us, she was gracious enough to shed some light on the season's most stylish satchels, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Though Melling Burke cited Miu Miu, Celine, and Proenza Schouler as contenders, we were quite taken with her revolutionary selection of the daytime clutch-specifically Marc Jacob's Lock Clutch ($290). Just big enough to stow your necessities, there's something incredibly modern and refreshing about the size (and price!) of this handy bag. In fact, we have a sneaking suspicion that her selection will catch on immediately. Everyone get out your egg-timers now, because trust us, if Melling Burke is doing it, it's only a matter of minutes before the trend blows up!

Research Profile
The School of Medicine pursues the highest standards of research, education and training, in medicine and related subjects, to enhance the health of the people of Wales and the wider world.
The School of Medicine works to enhance the health of the people of Wales and the wider world.
School of Medicine researchers annually win tens of millions of pounds in research awards from the NHS, Government, the charitable sector, the healthcare industries and other partners to work on the most pressing issues of human health. Research in the School is focused on six interdisciplinary themes, each of which links basic science to clinical practice in hospital and community settings. The underlying aim is to ensure the best "translation" of fundamental knowledge to patient benefit. Notable recent successes include the establishment of a Medical Research Council-funded translational research collaboration with Bristol University (called SARTRE), and the award of an MRC Centre in Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics. Current efforts are focussed on the establishment of a Cancer Research Centre with new build and CR-UK support.
The interdisciplinary research groups draw upon their own strength in depth and the vast range of expertise available across the Schools of the University. They address cancer; clinical epidemiology; cardiovascular sciences; neurosciences and mental health; infection, immunity and inflammation; metabolism repair and regeneration.
The School of Medicine accords a high priority to the development of a thriving postgraduate research culture and the training of the next generation of leading biomedical researchers. All postgraduate researchers complete a Biomedical Research Techniques course at an early stage, in order to gain the necessary skills for conducting research in medical sciences. In addition to externally funded studentships, the School itself funds up to twelve PhD studentships each year.
The Henry Wellcome Building for Biomedical Research in Wales is the largest enterprise of its kind ever in Wales.

|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 21 April 2013 06:12
Avery County firefighters were called out early this morning to a mobile home fire on Flat Springs Road near Elk Park. The 6:22am dispatch came after a neighbor spotted flames and smoke in the predawn light at the home, causing a call for a number of Avery Departments to be dispatched.
Reports from the scene indicated that the mobile home had been occupied by an elderly woman, sometimes by a man, according to the neighbors, but there was no word from the scene about their whereabouts. Fire investigators were also called to the scene.

Report calls for enforcement of cycling ban on London's South Bank
Lambeth Council invites comments on Draft Strategy document
A draft cycling strategy commissioned by the London Borough of Lambeth has called for stricter enforcement of a ban on cyclists riding their bikes along a stretch of the South Bank running from the Oxo Tower to the London Eye.
The report, entitled 'Draft South Bank and Waterloo Cycle Strategy 2010 – 2012' and compiled by the South Bank Employers' Group (SBEG), acknowledged that "The debate about cycling on the River Walk," which includes landmarks such as County Hall, the London Eye, the Royal Festival Hall and National Film Theatre, "is polemical," and identified a polarisation in attitudes between local residents and the capital's cyclists.
"Opinions volunteered were fairly evenly divided between local residents and their representatives who wish to see cycling on the riverside prohibited and London-wide cyclists who wish to see it permitted," the report's authors said. "The River Walk is not a designated cycle route and private landowners in the study area recommend that a ban on cycling in this location be enforced," they continued.
One of the chief recommendations of the report is that Southbank Centre and Coin Street Community Builders, the landowners of the stretch of riverfront in question, should "support enforcement of no cycling rule on the River Walk between Oxo Tower Wharf and London Eye."
The authors, representing businesses and organisations including the British Film Institute, Guy's & St Thomas' Hospital Foundation Trust, ITV and Shell, add that "should no enforcement support be agreed with police," landowners should instead give their support to Lambeth Council for implementation of a signage plan to encourage cyclists away from the River Walk onto the nearby designated cycle route along Belvedere Road and Upper Ground.
The stretch of path in question is popular with cyclists, providing a quick, traffic free route along the South Bank together with an attractive riverscape backdrop, and includes a section under Waterloo Bridge where London Critical Mass meets on the last Friday of each month. However, it can also become thronged with pedestrians, particularly at evenings and weekends.
Other recommendations of the 100-page report, which can be downloaded here, include improvements to local designated cycle routes, consultation on the introduction of a 20mph zone, improvements to cycle parking and initiatives to reduce cycle theft in the area.
Lambeth Council is now inviting comments on the report, which can be emailed to email@example.com, with a deadline of 10 September 2010.
Kinda runs counter to the current use of the skatepark bit of Southbank doesn't it? Or are they trying to get kiddies off their BMXs? Maybe this is a secretly underhand scheme by the skateboarders who are getting miffed at BMXers stealing their thunder?!?
Anyway, good luck with that Cycling Lambeth.

Kinf of funny how all this lot are all worked up about "enforce cycle ban" but the authorities do nothing to enforce cycle lanes, allowing anybody to park on them! Hypocrites!

Direct Current Brain Polarization in Frontotemporal Dementia
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This pilot study will evaluate the effect of direct current (DC) electrical polarization of the brain on language, memory, reaction time, and mood in six patients with frontotemporal dementia (Pick's disease). There is no effective treatment available for cognitive impairment in patients with this condition. DC polarization sends a very weak current between two sponge pads placed on the head. In a previous study in healthy volunteers, DC polarization of the left prefrontal area of the brain increased verbal fluency, memory and attention, and motor reaction time in the study subjects.
Patients between 35 and 75 years of age with frontotemporal dementia who have been referred to NINDS's Cognitive Neuroscience Section for an existing protocol will be offered participation in this study. Candidates will be screened with a neurological examination to confirm the diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia.
Participants receive 40 minutes of DC polarization or sham polarization in each of two separate sessions. (No current is applied in the sham treatment). During the polarization, the patient rests quietly. Sponge pads that have been soaked in water are put on the left side of the head and above the right eye, and are held in place with elastic netting. Before the polarization and after about 20 minutes of polarization, patients undergo the following tests:
- Language: Patients must say as many words beginning with certain letters as they can in 90 seconds.
- Memory: Patients must remember a letter on a computer screen, and when the letter appears again, press the same letter on the keyboard.
- Reaction time: Patients place pegs on a pegboard.
- Mood: Patients place a mark on a line ranking how they feel.
Pick Disease of the Brain
Procedure: Direct Current Polarization
Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety Study
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Direct Current Brain Polarization in Frontotemporal Dementia
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|February 2004
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|August 2005
Introduction: In this study, we will use anodal direct current (DC) polarization at 2 mA to treat patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Currently, there is no effective treatment for these patients. Previously, in healthy volunteers, we observed that DC polarization of the left prefrontal area for 20 min safely increases verbal fluency, cognitive processing speed (working memory and attention) and motor reaction speed. Both of these functions are severely impaired in FTD. Objective: We wish to see whether anodal DC polarization of the left prefrontal cortex in FTD patients leads to improvement in verbal fluency and working memory. Design: In this pilot study, we propose to treat six FTD patients for 40 min with anodal and sham DC polarization in a single-blind, crossover design. Outcome Measures: The main outcome measures will be verbal fluency and working memory. If anodal DC polarization produces clinically relevant improvements in these patients this will provide the impetus for a larger trial.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
-Six patients referred to the Cognitive Neuroscience Section, NINDS, with a clinical diagnosis of FTD confirmed here, will be selected to participate in the study.
- Greater than 75 years of age.
- Presence of metal in the head other than dental hardware.
- Broken skin in the area of the stimulating electrodes.
- Any behavioral disorder that makes testing impossible.
- Children are excluded, as FTD is not a childhood illness.

LOWVILLE Cornell Cooperative Extension Association of Lewis County next week will begin offering a series of parenting classes for those with children from birth to 10 years old.
Its super interesting with lots of practical information, said Michele E. Ledoux, executive director at the Lowville Extension office. Its timely and relevant.
The Magic Years class is a program for families of children from birth through 4 years, while the Middle Years class is for families of children 5 to 10 years old.
Both of the six-week classes will be held Wednesdays in February and March, beginning next Wednesday, at the Lowville Extension office on outer Stowe Street.
The Magic Years classes will run from 9 to 11 a.m., while the Middle Years classes will take place from 1 to 3 p.m.
The cost for each of the courses is $50, but participants may receive a fee waiver based on income guidelines.
The class for parents of younger children will help them learn about their role in the development of their child, according to a release. Topics will include identifying developmental milestones, nurturing routines, parenting styles, positive discipline, stress management, nutrition and caregiver responsibility.
Meanwhile, the course for parents of older children encourages positive family interactions and offers parenting strategies that work, the release said. Topics in that class will include child development, positive communication, setting family rules, positive discipline, building self-esteem in children, nutrition, stress management and parenting styles.
Class certificates will be available at the end of the six-week programs.
Similar courses are held periodically in Jefferson County by that countys Extension office.
At the request of Lewis County Department of Social Services officials, a parenting program has been started here as a cooperative effort between the Extension offices here and in Watertown, which boasts a large parenting program, Mrs. Ledoux said.
While that referral-based program has gone well thus far, the upcoming courses will allow any interested county residents to gain more parenting and nutritional skills and share their experiences with other parents, she said.
The Extension office here has offered some parenting courses in the past but hasnt done so in many years, Mrs. Ledoux said.
To enroll in either or both classes, call the Lowville Extension office at 376-5270.
More information is available by calling Jessica Hall, parent educator, or sending her an email at email@example.com.

Peering into 2009: Is the Sky Falling or Was That Just My 401K?
As we wrap up December it's usually an appropriate time to grab a glass of something warm and fermented, sit by the fire and reminisce about the year gone by while reviewing the state of our investment portfolios, and plotting for new adventures in the year ahead. This year of course it will all happen with a twist as we can also ponder where it all went wrong.
It was a year that started with promise, though of course also with just a couple ominous clouds as well. But of course those of us who have been around long enough know that some of the best growth can come in times when the clouds look dark. Only problem is that this time consumer spending, which drives most of the US economy, took a direct hit. And then things, went from shaky, to bad to worse.
The new GDP figures from NBER say that GDP fell by .5% in Q3 of 2008 and the new consensus according to the Wall Street Journal survey of economists is that Q4 2008 will be down by more than 4%. Tough times indeed.
Want to know what 2009 will look like? We've done some regression analysis on historical temp employment and GDP that suggests temp employment moves at about 5 times GDP growth, minus 8%.
So with 3% GDP growth, temp employment is likely to grow at 8%. With 2% GDP growth temp employment will be about 1-2%. For 2009 The Economist projects GDP will drop by 1% over the full year which suggest a decline in temp employment of 13% or so over the full year. And that GDP forecast assumes a semblance of recovery in the second half of 2009, so during the first half things could appear even bleaker.
Now I don't know if our analysis will work for such negative GDP numbers, and we don't know for sure if the economy will really be that bad, and past history certainly doesn't always predict future performance (or so my broker told me), and, and, and But any way you slice it 2009 doesn't look like it will be much fun for the staffing industry (with the possible exception of our funereal friends in Outplacement).
So what's a self respecting staffing exec to do? My advice is that now is the time to start planning to be one of the survivors and thrivers in the tough days ahead. Lots of firms will be ducking for cover and many will shut their doors, but those who are in this for the long term will be investing in their people, building their strategies and positioning themselves for the upturn that will surely come just at the point when all the weaker organizations have given up.
When things do turn around it will happen quickly; just as quickly, no doubt, as 2008 went bad. Will you be ready when that day comes?

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- If you're a hot sleeper, get night sweats, or just prefer the cold side of your pillow, the Chillow claims it can keep your pillow cool and dry all night long. The makers say the secret is its water-cooled memory foam.
WZZM 13's Lauren Stanton took the product to Marie Bolen, who says she's a "pillow flipping fool." Marie says she wakes up all the time and flips her pillow because she's so hot.
Marie went over the instructions and found them surprising. You fill the Chillow with seven to eight cups of warm water, remove any air bubbles, then let the Chillow sit flat for four hours before use.
The Chillow can either go inside your pillow case or on top of your pillow. Marie found it did feel cool to the touch. The instructions also say to put it in your refrigerator for 15-30 minutes if you want it extra cool, but never put it in the freezer. Marie felt like it was cool enough.
Marie used it for a week and admittedly, it stayed cool for the most part, all night. Marie would find herself moving to the cooler outer edge of the Chillow, but didn't have to flip her pillow anymore.
The problem was, the Chillow ended up sliding down her pillow in the middle of the night and bunching up at the bottom of her pillow case. She said it became uncomfortable and you lose the flexibility of your pillow because you can't move it around too much with the Chillow pack inside. Because of this, Marie says she would not buy the Chillow.
Bottom line, the water-cooled memory foam seems to do its job staying cold; it just needs a better design for all night sleeping. The Chillow pillow stays chill, but you may lose some of the comfort.
The Chillow is available online for $12.99 plus shipping and processing costs.

Joining their neighbor to the north, Jefferson and Lewis counties have been swamped by requests from pistol permit holders seeking exemption from Freedom of Information Law inquiries.
There are four of us and some days were just running, said Kathleen A. Larkins, head of the pistol permits and records division at the Jefferson County sheriffs office.
We have been hammered, ever since the governor announced the new law, with everything: applications for permits, people purchasing guns, and FOIL exemptions, said Cynthia A. Robbins, who runs the Lewis County sheriffs pistol permit office.
The exemption form was created by a provision of the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013 and allows permit holders to keep personal information, including names and addresses, from being released publicly.
The forms were made available by state police on Friday. Since that time, both Jefferson and Lewis counties have witnessed a torrent of requests.
Mrs. Larkins said Jefferson County has received 180 requests in four days. Ms. Robbins said she has an inch-thick stack of requests.
While the forms work their way through the system, pistol permit information will be considered exempt from FOIL requests until May 15.
Confusion caused by the swift enactment of the law has slowed things down.
Ms. Robbins said she did not receive any instructions about how to handle the requests before the form was made available, and details about procedure are still being sorted out.
Mrs. Larkins said that the requests will be vetted by the sheriffs office but that ultimate approval will have to come from County Court Judge Kim H. Martusewicz, who is also the pistol licensing officer.
The NY SAFE Act states specifically that the licensing officer is the one who grants the exception from disclosure. However, there is no place on the request form for his signature.
Mrs. Larkins said 15,000 permit applications have been issued in Jefferson county since 1935, although no database has ever been created to track them.
Ms. Robbins said Lewis County has about 4,800 current permits. She expects that everyone who still has an active permit will submit an exemption request.
Jefferson County Administrator and FOIL officer Robert F. Hagemann III said his office has thus far received only one request for information about pistol permit holders. The request, seeking general information, came from an editor at Heavy.com, Mr. Hagemann said.
If this response is any indication, the FOIL opt-out provision has proven to be the most popular part of a bill that has met a great deal of opposition. According to www.nysaferesolutions.com, 41 of New Yorks 62 counties have passed or are considering resolutions objecting to the legislation.
The Jefferson County Board of Legislators General Services Committee approved a resolution denouncing Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos gun control bill Tuesday night. It will go before the full board March 5.

BUFFALO, NY - A now-former teacher with the Alden Central School District admitted Friday to sending instant messages of a sexual nature to a 16-year-old student.
Gerald Wild II, 46, of Amherst, pleaded guilty to a single count of endangering the welfare of a child. As a condition of the plea, the Erie County District Attorney's office required Wild to surrender his teaching certificate.
The incidents took place between December, 2011 and June, 2012 while he was employed as a Social Studies teacher at the high school.
Wild faces a maximum penalty of a year in jail when sentenced before Alden Village Justice Robert Woods in March.

April has been a great month so far in the many quilting bees to which I belong. For example, check out the fabrics that Marilyn selected over in the SewConnected 2 group. She's making a quilt for her soon-to-be-born grandson ... but since the quilt will be living at her house, she wanted something that she could enjoy, too! I was really blown away (in the best possible way) by the selection, which included prints from Amy Butler and Anna Maria Horner that worked together beautifully.
Marilyn gave us the choice of making either 6" or 12" blocks, which I think will make for a very dynamic and interesting quilt. I decided to go small this time and ... well, once I got started, I couldn't stop.
Here they are all together:
The simple one in the top center is my favorite.
And in the Cottage Quilting Bee, Katie from Metrosupial Designs sent out a color-coordinated scrap package to everyone in the group and asked for a basic block of 36 2.5" squares. I got my favorite color to work with -- orange -- and had a lot of fun fussy-cutting each and every square to feature something interesting.
Another grand, spectacular quilt in the making, I think!
Finally (and also from the Cottage Quilting Bee), my favorite British monkey sent out a charming selection of bird-themed fabrics ... but really, would you expect anything less than fabulous from Katy?? I went totally improv on this one, shooting for a "hop, skip, & a jump" look a la Denyse Schmidt. (Sorry for linking to your post, Kathy, but it's really the greatest example of the full quilt that I could find! Hope you don't mind ...) I pulled some coordinating Full Moon Forest from my collection to give the block some contrast. I hope she likes it!

"Danger, the emergency destruct sequence has now been activated. The ship will self-destruct in t-minus, ten minutes. The option to override automatic detonation will expire in t-minus, five minutes..." — Mother, "Alien" (1979)
Have you ever felt like Ripley — Sigourney Weaver — at the end of Alien? After the monster has wiped out all of her fellow crew members, she decides to kill it by blowing up her spaceship, the Nostromo. She sets the ship's self-destruct mechanism and races for the escape shuttle — only to find the alien now blocking her way.
The next few minutes are a hair-raising race against time. As Ripley barrels back through the long corridors of the space ship, "Mother," the voice of the ship's computer, ominously counts down the time left until everything will go kaboom in a blinding, space-bending explosion.
The stock market feels a little like this. The higher it goes, the more euphoric the cheerleading, the more the airheaded Gamma-class humans put on the happy face and hum their way to work, the more terrifying it becomes for anyone who actually bothers thinking. (Luckily, this excludes most of Wall Street). At best we feel like Jones, the ship's cat, getting banged around in a portable cage.
I hate to state the obvious, but stocks are just a claim on companies' future dividends. That's it. By definition, the higher they rise in price, the worse a deal they are. (I am amazed this is ever a subject of debate, as it is a tautology). Mom and Pop, with an instinct for self-preservation which suggests human beings are descended from the lemmings, usually pile on board at the peak.
Is it happening again?
Last week I got an email from Jeff Seymour, a former engineer turned money manager.
For the last seven years he's been studying the math behind a stock market crash. (There's more to it than that, but that's the elevator summary). He figured that if you looked at the right indicators, you ought to have a good chance of knowing what was coming. You should, at least, get an edge.
What were the indicators which were flashing red in 1999-2000, just before the collapse, he wondered? What were they showing in 2006-7?
Seymour's conclusion: There are nine indicators you need to watch. Just nine.
They range from the Volatility Index or "VIX," a measure in the options market, to the Weekly Leading Index (WLI) of the Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI), to the amount of stock that insiders are dumping on the market.
He put them all together in a doomsday machine he calls "the Greedometer." It tells you just how dangerously complacent and carefree the market has become at any moment. See the Greedometer.
These Greedometer indicators flashed red in early September 2000. If you read the signs — as some of my wiser sources did — you got out before the crash and saved half your money.
They flashed red again in May of 2007. And, again, if your read the signs you got out before the big collapse.

you could always make a new account! all resistance chars made now get 4x exp till lvl 30 then 3x exp till 70 then 2x till 110 i think plus everyday till nov 18th its 2x exp from 2pm-6pm pacific standard time. you could join scania with us if you want.
you can reach 120 in around 1week now(as an average(aka non funded) player). so no real harm done by losing your acc

Just because it's easy to level doesn't mean it's not worth playing you have so much character variety so you could just make another character and it's not as easy to reach level 200 as some people think it is the people who reach 200 usually put way to much money into the game. It does start to slow towards end game a fair bit and if you aren't doing the majority of damage to mobs your party will be getting most of the exp. You don't really need to boss to enjoy the game if you don't want to there is plenty of way to get good gear without bossing mainly making use of events or buying cheap items in the free market and selling them on so you can make money to fund yourself. The game is still fun to play regardless if people find it to easy to level. The game was way to hard to level before and just because it's easier now doesn't make it to easy just not to difficult. Sure it starts off easy to level but towards the end of the game it gets harder like most other MMOs. Getting in a good guild is key they can help you tons with gear and leveling or going on boss runs . Some people in my guild are funded some aren't but we all help each other out and have a good time.
With the Tempest patch around the corner the game is going to become even better and recently they have stepped up in dealing with hackers and gold farmers. With hyper skills coming out the difference between paying users and non paying users will close as every job will be getting them boosting up end game strength of characters making bossing even less needed but you will be able to do more bosses that you wouldn't be able to before as a non paying user.

the tempest update is 6 parts and we get 3 new classes out of it and supposedly they are very different from what we have now as 2 of them are "nova" classes. yes there are a lot of classes but you gotta remember that some classes are considered special and are only able to be made usually during certain events. i played for 2 weeks casually from 42-86 and it took me about 2 weeks(ish) and i am not funded at all. taking advantage of events especially exp ones do help a lot and can get you some pretty good gear too.
I'm currently a level 45 battle mage. What's your IGN? I'll pm you.
Yeah, I made a new account, I have only played my Battle Mage for like a few hours and I'm already lvl 36, the grind is pretty much gone, and I love it. My IGN is Tsukasain.

The John Birch Society has a new series of DVDs for you to learn how the Constitution was intended to secure our rights, not to enable the federal government to violate our rights.
You're invited to attend a six-part workshop that will provide you with a practical, common sense understanding of how the Constitution was intended to limit the government, not the citizens. This understanding will equip you to work with others to solve many of the problems Americans face every day.
Each class will include a DVD presentation and group discussion.
Topics include:

(B) in the event such individual dies or for any other reason ceases to be a licensee or transfers to another vending facility, ownership of such equipment shall become vested in the State licensing agency (for transfer to a successor licensee) subject to an obligation on the part of the State licensing agency to pay to such individual (or to his estate) the fair value of his interest therein as later determined in accordance with regulations of the State licensing agency and after opportunity for a fair hearing;

L. 93–651, title II, § 204,Nov. 21, 1974, 89 Stat. 2–10.)
The content of Pub. L. 93–516, including provisions of section 204 thereof which amended this section, were originally contained in H.R. 14225, 93rd Congress, Second Session, which was pocket-vetoed during the 31-day intrasession adjournment of the 93rd Congress for the Congressional elections in November, 1974. See 1974 Amendment note below.
Pursuant to an order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (Kennedy v. Jones, D.C.D.C. 1976, 412 F.Supp. 353) H.R. 14225 was deemed to have become law without the approval of the President on Nov. 21, 1974, and was given the designation Pub. L. 93–651. Therefore, for purposes of codification, this section should be deemed to have been amended by Pub. L. 93–651, title II, § 204,Nov. 21, 1974, 89 Stat. 2–10, in exactly the same manner as it was amended by Pub. L. 93–516.
1974—Pub. L. 93–516, § 204(a)(1), substituted "A State agency" for "A State commission" in provisions preceding par. (1). An identical amendment was made by Pub. L. 93–651. See Codification note above.
Par. (2). Pub. L. 93–516, § 204(a)(2), substituted "vending facility" for "vending stand" in two places. An identical amendment was made by Pub. L. 93–651. See Codification note above.
Par. (3). Pub. L. 93–516, § 204(a)(2), (b), (c), in provisions preceding subpar. (A), substituted "the net proceeds of the operation of the vending facilities" for "the proceeds of the operation of the vending stands", in subpar. (D), substituted "vending facilities" for "vending stands", added subpar. (E), and in proviso following subpar. (E) substituted "the net proceeds of any vending facility" for "the proceeds of any vending stand". An identical amendment was made by Pub. L. 93–651. See Codification note above.
Par. (6). Pub. L. 93–516, § 204(a)(3), substituted "vending facility program an opportunity for a fair hearing, and to agree to submit the grievances of any blind licensee not otherwise resolved by such hearing to arbitration as provided in section 107d–1 of this title" for "vending stand program an opportunity for a fair hearing". An identical amendment was made by Pub. L. 93–651. See Codification note above.
1954—Act Aug. 3, 1954, amended section generally and, among other changes, added pars. (3) to (6).

For the second year in a row, a student from Waterford School in Sandy won best in show at CEU's fourth art competition. The artwork will be displayed until Dec. 7 at the campus' east gallery.
A local student from Carbon High won honorable mention at the competition, which drew artwork from locations across the state, according to CEU Gallery East art director Cliff Bergera.
"There is some really good work in the exhibit and I am really pleased with the quality of the art," pointed out Bergera.
The 2007 event is the fourth time the local college has conducted the high school art competition.
On Dec. 3, UtahAmerican Energy released a press statement confirming that the company had idled the Westridge coal mine.
"Today, due to unanticipated geological conditions resulting in a high percentage of ash content in the coal that is currently being mined, the Westridge mine has been temporarily idled for a period of approximately 48 hours while management reviews its options and devises a plan to relocate the longwall to an area where conditions are more favorable," stated company vice president Rob Murray.
Westridge is one of three UtahAmerican mines owned by Murray Energy. All three are currently idled to some degree.
The state prosecutor's office has dismissed a felony level criminal complaint charging a former Utah Highway Patrol trooper with second degree aggravated assault in connection with a March 2006 shooting incident.
The incident reportedly started at a Green River motel and climaxed when one male subject was shot after pursuing law enforcement officers apprehended two fleeing robbery suspects.
Filed in 7th District Court on Nov. 28, the motion to dismiss indicated that the shooting was likely accidental in nature and the state had insufficient evidence to prove criminal intent on the part of the defendant, Edward J. Bentley, beyond a reasonable doubt.

When: Saturday, October 15, 7:00 p.m.
Opponent: @New York Islanders (2-1-0)
After a long week off the New York Rangers finally return to
action on Saturday in Long Island to visit the up-and-coming Islanders before
the Blueshirts embark on a four-game Western Canada road trip next week.
The Rangers survived their first two games without Marc
Staal, but on Saturday the blueline will face an even greater challenge. Staal is still no closer to a return and the
team will also be without Mike Sauer, who managed to play through a nagging
shoulder injury last weekend but didn't practice with the team this week.
In his stead, newly acquired defenseman Jeff Woywitka will
make his Rangers' debut. Woywitka will
wear No. 6 and be paired with Steve Eminger, a tandem that actually has played
together at the World Junior Championships. The top pairing of Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh could push 30 minutes
yet again because it's hard to guess how Woywitka and Eminger will fare and the
young pairing of Michael Del Zotto and Tim Erixon is also a huge wild
The blueline performed admirably against Los Angeles and
Anaheim, but it might be up to goalie Henrik Lundqvist and the offense to carry
the load against the New York Islanders.
The Rangers' hated rivals managed just one goal in their
first two games, but blossoming star John Tavares led the Islanders to a 5-1
win on Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Lundqvist will offer the Rangers a much
greater security blanket than the equally banged up Lightning had in Dwayne
Roloson, but he'll inevitably need some help from New York's forwards.
The latest experiment by Coach John Tortorella is to move
sophomore playmaker Derek Stepan up to the first line to play with Brad
Richards and Marian Gaborik.
The hope is that Stepan will be able to hold his own on the
top group and allow the Blueshirts to keep Brandon Dubinsky with Ryan Callahan
and Artem Anisimov and return Ruslan Fedotenko to a line with Brian Boyle and
Brandon Prust.
New York is in dire need of some combinations that click,
because right now the team is having a tough enough time battling injuries on
the blueline so some semblance of cohesiveness up front is a necessity.
The Blueshirts picked up two points against two Western
Conference playoff teams last weekend, but they could really use a victory on
Saturday night. The tilt against the
Islanders will be followed by an extremely difficult matchup against the 2011
Stanley Cup runner-up Vancouver Canucks and three more road games on the other
side of the continent.
- Here is the projected
lineup for Saturday's game:
Derek Stepan/Brad Richards/Marian Gaborik
Brandon Dubinsky/Artem Anisimov/Ryan Callahan
Ruslan Fedotenko/Brian Boyle/Brandon Prust
Mike Rupp/Erik Christensen/Mats Zuccarello
Dan Girardi-Ryan McDonagh
Michael Del Zotto-Tim Erixon
Steve Eminger-Jeff Woywitka
- Wojtek Wolski is expected to sit out again as he recovers
from a groin injury.

CARTHAGE The public will decide next week the fate of the school districts latest project to address security, safety and maintenance concerns.
Fewer than 20 residents showed up at Carthage High School to learn about the details of the districts latest $13.2 million or $16.9 million capital project depending on the proposition chosen during a public forum Wednesday.
There is nothing put into this project thats extravagant, Superintendent Peter J. Turner said, referring to the first proposition.
Residents of the district can vote on the project from noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday at the Carthage High School library.
According to a pamphlet provided to the district, both propositions pass only if a resident votes yes on both. The pamphlet states that neither will pass if Proposition 1 is voted down, even if Proposition 2 is approved.
During the forum, Mr. Turner said he fears that some voters will get confused and vote for the second proposition only.
Thatll hurt us, he said. Thats a no vote.
Proposition 1 the main proposition will include security camera replacement, asbestos removal, water treatment, boiler replacement and parking lot repair work, among other needs the district finds necessary. Alone, it will cost $1.01 per $100,000 in assessed property value per year for 15 years. Business Manager Amy M. Marrocco said residents would begin paying the extra tax as early as the 2014-15 school year.
The second proposition which would be counted only if the first proposition is approved by the voters would add four classrooms to West Carthage Elementary as well as basic technology infrastructure upgrades. Together, the projects would cost $1.33 per $100,000 in assessed property value.
Mr. Turner said that the project is eligible for 98 percent state aid, and $700,000 from the districts EXCEL (Expanding Our Childrens Education and Learning) grant can be put toward the project. If the maintenance items were put on the budget rather than the capital project, it would not be aidable by the state. He warned that the EXCEL grant may be taken away in two months.
Wilfred J. Deion, a resident of Black River, said he is considering voting yes on both propositions.
I think we need the project, he said. Were going to save on efficiency, and when we save on efficiency, we save on money.
