US Airways Nov. passenger revenue falls 4 percent
TEMPE, Ariz. — US Airways said on Wednesday that a key measure of revenue
was lower than it had expected in November because of the late timing of the
Thanksgiving holiday.
The airline said per-seat passenger revenue fell 4 percent in November compared
to the same month last year. The late Thanksgiving meant that travelers took the
return half of their holiday trip in December. As a result, US Airways said it
expects December passenger revenue to be higher than it had expected.
Delta Air Lines reported a similar November-December tradeoff on Monday.
US Airways said November traffic fell 0.8 percent. Flying capacity rose 5.3
percent. The increase wasn't necessarily because the airline added flights. A
year ago, Superstorm Sandy forced airlines to cancel thousands of flights,
causing their totals to look higher this year.
Because traffic fell even as capacity was rising, occupancy fell on US Airways
planes. Its load factor fell 5 percentage points to 79.8 percent.
For the year so far, traffic has risen 4.6 percent. Flying capacity is up 3.9
percent. Load factor has risen a half percentage point to 84.3 percent.
US Airways has gotten approval for its merger with American Airlines in a deal
that is expected to close on Monday.

I`m a 55-year-old rural school English teacher who loves patchwork and quilting. I started in 1997 when I found a teacher who had a patchwork workshop in Buenos Aires. The course lasted one year and I learned a lot. Since then I bought many books and learned many techniques by myself. I`m very curious and now I find internet very useful. My sewing machine is not that modern but it's great. You can see my pages on Facebook: Recuérdame Quilts where I show my projects and Canyuelas Patch & Quilt where I show the progress of my students. thanks!

Welcome To LifeWithoutInsomnia.com. By visiting this site, you've taken the first step to curing your insomnia forever, leading to a happier, healthier life.
What Is Insomnia?
Insomnia is defined as a condition in which the sufferer either has difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, or both. While insomnia often occurs by itself, insomnia is also a symptom of other medical or psychiatric disorders. Chances are, if you're visiting this website, you know firsthand what insomnia is like and how big of a pain it can be.
The Effects Of Insomnia
Other than the pain and annoyance of being awake for long periods of time, lack of sleep causes many other significant effects including, but not limited to:
Increased irritability – a lack of sleep causes people to become irritable much more quickly than normal.
Decreased physical performance – The body needs sleep to repair itself. When it can not do so, it is not able to move as quickly or as powerfully.
Decrease alertness – As we become more and more tired, our minds become less responsive to external stimuli.
Impaired memory – When sleep deprived, the human brain's cognitive processing ability decreases, resulting in impaired memory.
A full list of the effects of insomnia can be found by clicking here.
If you've been suffering from insomnia for a long time, chances are you won't even notice a lot of these effects, simply because you're used to them. You'll be amazed to discover how much better you'll look and feel after you begin getting a full night's rest every day of the week.

The Afghan-Iranian Youth Network believes that one of the central means of improving the conditions of working people, whether they be Afghan, Iranian or any other nationality, is through building of labour unions in our workplaces. Having a union is a first step to providing a means for workers to fight, as a collective, against their employers.
It is self-evident to workers in all sectors of Canadian society that they are powerless in relation to their employers, that is, the terms of their employment are dictated by the bosses. The result is that workers are paid pennies in relation to the huge profits their employers take home. Harassment, underpayment, favoritism, workplace unsafety and intimidation are often the result of such a worker-owner relationship – as many of our readers can personally attest to.
Building a union, that is, an organization of workers for the purpose of fighting for the interest of workers is the central means through which you can improve your living standards. Unions allow workers to bargain with their employers as a collective and to engage in forms of labour action, such as strikes, to force their employers to offer better terms of employment. It is a known fact that unionized workers are paid significantly higher than their non-unionized counterparts. On top of that, unionized workers often enjoy benefits, more secure working hours as well as a means to fight workplace abuses by managers and the bosses.
In today's economy crisis, it is even more important for us workers to fight for better living standards. The upper class (or capitalists) have been making billions of dollars over the past decades while tossing us working people crumbs from the table. As the world economy collapses, at the fault of bankers and big business, workers are being expected to give up their hard-won wages, working hours or to even accepts layoffs. At the same time, the pro-business politicians of the Liberal and Conservative party have taken over 100 billion dollars of our tax money, out of our pockets, to bail out these fat cats. What is clear is that unless we begin to organize ourselves, and begin to fight for our interests, we are going to see our living standards as a whole greatly reduced.
Building a union, here in Ontario, is quite straightforward but not necessarily easy. A union vote occurs once 40% of workers in a given workplace have signed union cards. This union vote, if a majority of workers vote in favor of a union, results in union certification. The Afghan-Iranian Youth Network is committed to helping workers unionize their workplaces, but the effort to win a union and to make it effective lies with workers themselves.

Strangled by the pressure
Teens struggle to be as thin as the models they see
When women look in the mirror, they often see someone bigger and less attractive than they really are.
As models get ever thinner and smaller sizes begin to fall into the plus-sized category, women find it tough to feel good about their curves.
Megan McCoy, 17, is no exception.
"I pay attention to it because I am a teenage girl," Ms. McCoy, of Anderson, said. "It makes me think about, am I not skinny enough and stuff."
Although Ms. McCoy is tall and slender, media images do affect her self-esteem at times, she said.
"It makes me feel a little self-conscious, but then I start thinking there's no way that (super slim bodies) can be healthy. Still, when I go to Hollister or something and I try on pants, I'm not a size 0 or 1 or 2. I'm in 7s and 9s. It makes me think twice about it."
Recently, TV host and former model Tyra Banks has been criticized for being too heavy.
Ms. Banks, who recently told People magazine that she is 5'10" and weighs 161 pounds, said she is about 30 pounds heavier than when she landed on the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue in 1997.
The industry that holds Ms. Banks and other celebrities to such high standards create body-image issues starting at young ages, as pre-teen and teen girls attempt to emulate the body sizes and shapes they see portrayed in fashion magazines and on movie and television screens.
There's even a name for the disorder in which women are unable to see their body accurately: dysmorphia. It has been recognized as a legitimate mental disorder for at least 20 years by the American Psychiatric Association, and can severely affect sufferers' lives. It even has been linked to high suicide rates.
Tania Stewart, a University of South Carolina student from Anderson, works to combat women's negative body images through her work as president of the campus group, Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance (FMLA). Through her mentoring of Girl Scouts in the Columbia area, the girls have become involved in the Dressing Room Project.
At TheDressingRoomProject.org, girls can find information about how to make other women feel better about their bodies and boost their self-esteem.
Participants create postcards with positive messages such as "You are beautiful," which they place on mirrors in department store dressing rooms.
Ms. Stewart and the Girl Scouts she works with plan to ambush a dressing room with signs they have created.
"That way, when a woman is trying on a bathing suit and hating her body for all of the flaws she sees, she can read an inspirational message to remind herself of her good qualities," Ms. Stewart said.
Clarissa Brydie-Keesley is on a similar mission.
She works with girls ages 12 to 18 through a program called Circle of Sisters, and at a summer program called Camp Essence in Pendleton.
"I run into it all the time," Ms. Brydie-Keesley said. "I try to tell them that God created everybody different, and God loves you no matter what you look like because he created you to be you. But they think adults have never been young and we don't know what we are talking about."
As she spends time with the girls in her programs, Ms. Brydie-Keesley hears comments from them such as "I'm fat," "I'm not pretty" and "Nobody is going to want to go with me because I am so big."
"I try to tell them that those people on TV are not healthy people, especially the anorexic-looking ones, and they are going through the same problems as you all are," she said.
So she works with the girls on boosting their self-esteem by exercising and using their talents in step dancing and other creative activities.
She also shares her own story with them.
Ms. Brydie-Keesley never gained much weight during pregnancies until her fourth one. But when she gave birth two months ago, she had gained more than 50 pounds.
Now she struggles with dreams of fitting into her size 10 jeans again.
"It's all about you and how you feel on the inside," she said. "I still feel good and look good. I would like to get back down to a size 10, and in fact, I bought five pairs of jeans in size 10 recently. But right now, I'm in a size 16. We have to stop letting society put these restrictions on us. We are beautiful no matter what size we are."

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Despite an increase in survival among babies born after six months of pregnancy, a new study finds preemies born earlier than that don't have the same success.
For that reason, this weekend Americans in nearly 1,000 communities, including Grand Junction are lacing up their shoes to walk for babies.
The fundraiser for the March of Dimes is a way for families who have lost a child to honor their memories and also raise awareness and money for preemie research.
Our local walk is Saturday at Lincoln Park. Registration starts 8 a.m.
11 News is a proud sponsor of the March for Babies.

Celebrate the majesty of the ocean by chowing down on fish while watching THE LIFE AQUATIC
Join us for a special 35mm screening of THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU as we lay out a tasty fish and chips special and bestow upon all attendees official Team Zissou red beanies.
Here at the Alamo, we're all very big fans of Houston-native filmmaker Wes Anderson. His films are infinitely touching, suprisingly whimsicle and feature some of the best soundtracks ever assembled for a motion picture. Along with frequent collaborator Bill Murray, Anderson has managed to capture some of the most nuanced, truthful looks at the complicated relationship between fathers and thier children.
This March, we're paying tribute to one of Anderson's greatest films, THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU. The film stars Murray as Steve Zissou, a famed oceanographer who puts aside his career to plot an elaborate revenge scheme against the shark that ate his friend. The film features an amazing line-up of actors including Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe, Michael Gambon, Jeff Goldblu, Anjelica Huston, Owen Wilson and Seu Jorge, who also provides a soundtrack featuring Brazilian-influenced covers of David Bowie songs. The film also features wonderful stop-motion animation from Henry Selick, the director of A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. Also, keep an eye out for Bud Cort in a supporting role. Cort, of course, is the star of HAROLD AND MAUDE, this month's Big Screen Classics title.
For our screenings of the film in March, we're pulling out all the stops. You'll get a 35mm presentation of the movie, Team Zissou caps for all attendees and a great special on our fish and chips entree. So climb aboard the Belafonte, pack some dynamite and join us on a mission of revenge as we accompany Steve Zissou into the great mysterious depths of the ocean.

St. Lucie County notebook: Lincoln Park girls soccer off to promising start
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Lincoln Park Academy's girls soccer team is off to a 6-1-2 start behind strong play from senior forward Marissa Kiernan and sophomore midfielder Teresa Cortes.
The Greyhounds have outscored opponents 38-5 in their six wins. The only loss was a 4-1 decision Nov. 19 against District 12-2A opponent Benjamin.
LPA is coming off non-district ties against Class 4A Martin County and Class 5A Treasure Coast.
"We have played well so far, but the next few weeks will test us a little more," Lincoln Park Academy coach Sara VanTassel said.
Offensively, Kiernan and Cortes are leaders on the field, according to VanTassel. Kiernan has a team-high 14 goals and seven assists. Cortes has eight goals and four assists.
"They command the field, and the others look for them to make plays," said VanTassel, who is 54-28-5 in five seasons.
Lincoln Park is 3-1 in district play and has games remaining against district leaders King's Academy and Benjamin.
A year ago, Lincoln Park knocked off Benjamin 2-1 in the District 12-2A semifinals before losing to King's Academy 3-1 in the district final and to Sarasota-Cardinal Mooney on penalty kicks in a Region 3-2A quarterfinal.
While the Greyhounds hope to make a run at their fourth district title since 2003, they already are close to clinching their 15th consecutive winning season. That would extend the longest active streak among Treasure Coast teams.
For now, VanTassel said the biggest focus is "improving our consistency with every touch."
Fort Pierce Central's Roneisha Jordan not only is a standout player for the Cobras volleyball team, she also excels on the girls basketball and weightlifting teams.
Through seven games, Jordan has averaged 12.3 points per game to help lead the Cobras' girls basketball team to a 3-4 record.
"Hard work and dedication has brought her to the level she is at," girls basketball coach Sophia Witherspoon said.
As the unquestioned leader of a inexperienced basketball team, Jordan is demonstrating "what a leader should be by her play on and off the court, especially to the younger players," Witherspoon said.
"She brings the intensity that the other girls feed off."
With her basketball commitments, Jordan has not been able to work on her technique with weightlifting coach Jeff Cameron.
"She gets most of her work in during weightlifting class with the help of senior weightlifter Hannah Sides," Cameron said.
In a recent meet against Treasure Coast, Jordan recorded a 145-pound bench press and 145-pound clean-and-jerk to win the 154-pound weight class with a total lift of 290 pounds.
"I believe she can be a top-10 lifter in her first year," Cameron said.
Both coaches added that Jordan has the potential to compete in either sport in college.
Fort Pierce Central quarterback Sam Vaughn passed for 1,955 yards in 11 games, giving the Cobras their school-record fifth consecutive 1,000-yard passer.
The others: Tim Smith in 2008 (1,082), Trevor Banks in 2009 (1,354) and Marcus Sigmon in 2010 (1,318) and 2011 (1,622).
Winter sports coaches are asked to report their team's statistics beginning next week.
Coaches should fax statistics to 1-866-447-3504 or email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Updated area leaders will be posted on PrepZone.TCPalm.com each Friday beginning Dec. 14.

It's hard to separate the work of Fritz Kalkbrenner without referring to his brother Paul. Their first collaboration together, the soundtrack for the film Berlin Calling, led to a major hit, "Sky and Sand," and while it propelled Paul Kalkbrenner into the limelight, Fritz's unique, soulful vocal became synonymous with the movie itself.
Soon, though, Fritz began releasing music on Suol, a label whose audio aesthetics matched those of his own, and he found success with his debut album, Here Today Gone Tomorrow, which combined Fritz's love for soul, hip-hop and techno. This week, the Berlin producer releases his second album, Sick Travellin', and before he does, we catch up with him to get the lowdown on what went into its production.
Where do you begin in the track-making process?
The good old question; I think the blunt truth is that there is no recipe. There can be many ways to start a track, whether it's a break, or cutting and chopping a sample, or a four-tone melody coming out of a synthesizer. Honestly, I'm not trying to avoid the question; there are as many ways as there are tracks, but, if had to pick a way, then it would probably be where I take a sample, chop, flip, and play around with it.
[bpaudio id="3824853″]
Is there a specific piece of equipment you use to start putting ideas down?
Most of my ideas, I draw them in Ableton Live version 8, which is still the latest version, I believe. This is where I usually work to hold my first ideas. A lot of connoisseurs still say that the audio engine of Ableton Live is not the best, but I still prefer them 'cuz I'm very into the workflow of the software and I've been using Ableton synths—the first version—for more than 10 years now.
What kinds of music have you been listening to to help drive you with this new record?
The kind that I'm always listening to: The Isley Brothers, Marvin Gaye, Flying Lotus, J Dilla… you name it, ya know? Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Hall & Oates—their early material, before all the '80s stuff.
What particular new pieces of gear have you been using?
Plain and simple; it's the outboard technique in the new studio which helped me most in the recording process. Because it meant I could record any type of vocals right in the studio using these very good old compressors like Teletronics, Cube Tech, Empex. These old hardware compressors that give a warm, crispy, crushing sound on the vocals.
[bpaudio id="3824851″]
Finally, is there a specific message you wanted to convey with Sick Travellin'?
Well, it's totally not about travelling when you're feeling ill [laughs]. It's more about always being on the road, and it's kind of a warning. You know, I travelled constantly from the age of 25 to 35 and as I sing in the intro "A man is tumbling down, sick travellin'," it's kind of a warning, both to me and to others, that an unbalanced life always travelling will result in you tumbling down. I think that's the basic message.

The Beacons of Light ~ Re-minders from Home
July 15 2008
~ Transition Into Passion
The Beacons of Light Re-minders from Home are presented Live on the internet, transcribed and posted here on the 15th of each month. The next Lightworker VirtualLight broadcast will be on
~ Re-minders from Home ~
From Steve:
This message was a recap of what is directly ahead. They said that moving our experiences from the time line is the next step in evolution. The began with "Dear Creators" and went on to say that a Sexual Energy activation is ahead. This is different from the Infusion of which they spoke recently. The said that Sexual Energy is what happens when the soul is firmly connected to the body. That lets more light through your body and it is felt as sexual energy. In this message they told for the first time their knowledge as to when the soul actually enters the body and how the body is allowing the brain to grow back together rather than to be separated into the two lobes. They group says the veil exists between the two lobes of your brain and the rewire is closing that gap. That, according to the group, is also closing the gap between Heaven and Earth.
Big Hugs and gentle nudges. .
Greetings from Home
Dear creators, we are here to help reflect your energy, to re-member who you are, why you came here, and what you had in mind for yourself as a soul. The veil you wear has perplexed humanity lifetime, after lifetime, after lifetime. The energy of Home is within each and every one of you, yet it so hard for you to re-member. When you hear music and re-member Home. You see beauty and re-member Home. You feel love and re-member Home. That is re-membering Home, but how do you walk in that feeling every day? How does that become part of your daily life where you can take these tools and use them in a conscious way? That is the direction you are moving. It is fine to meditate, connect with the higher self, and channel. It is even fine to open the door for your spirit to elevate both your body and spirit. Yet, you live as you walk on your physical feet and as you go through your daily life. Dear creators, it is your own belief systems that supersede your reality and your own creations. They overshadow much of what your magic is truly about. That is beginning to change. It is changing because of your newfound elevation and higher vibration. Your hearts have been ignited.
The Re-Wiring of Humanity
There is much happening now with your physical bodies. The veil, itself, exists between the two hemispheres of your brain. Now there is a general re-wiring occurring throughout all of humanity. The process is actually helping to bring back together that which was separated to create the illusion of polarity on the gameboard. You no longer need polarity. You are learning to see things in a field of triality instead of duality, instead of just light and dark or good and bad. You are now balancing that with a new vision from the higher self. You can now see such beauty for it is new; it is your own reflection that you are beginning to see. Let us share some of the things directly ahead, the energies and ideas that will be happening as you step forward.
Sexual Energy Activation
In order to keep you grounded we told you there would be a sexual energy infusion into the physical body. It is the life-force energy—light coming into the body. The way we define sexual energy is simple: when the spirit is thoroughly connected to the physical body, you shine more light through the body and that we see as sexual energy. There has been an infusion of sexual energy which is continuing on this planet. That is the sexual energy infusion. There will also be a sexual energy activation that will begin soon. It is nothing to fear, as it is simply your light coming through the body. It happens through your eyes and your smile. It happens through your heart just connecting to other people. We are not here to teach you how to be angels, dear ones, as you already know how to do that. We are here trying to help you do something that nobody has ever done before--ever--in any Game. You are beginning to carry the huge amount of energy from Home in your physical body while you walk around every day. Once this energy is activated you will see many new relationships to sexual energy. It is for that reason that we suggest you get comfortable with sexual energy and clear any restrictions or blockages you have in these areas,
Removing Your Experiences from the Timeline
Let us share some of the simple things, the ideas that humans wrestle with. You understand that you are playing with the illusion of a timeline. You think there is a past, present and future when actually only one of those is real; the other two are illusions. The past is nothing more than a memory and the future is only a potential. There is only this moment. That is what you are learning and starting to do. As you start removing everything in your experience from the illusion of a timeline, you begin thinking differently. Your left brain puts everything into the illusion of a timeline. Now that is beginning to lessen because there is no longer a need for the separation. There is nothing that needs to be defined in those terms. If you want to bring Home here now, do it with your smile. Do it with your sexual energy, your words, or your music. Dare to be the Human Angels walking with a vast amount of your own energy in your physical body, while sharing it with others. That is Home, right now. That is where you are moving toward.
We, as angels on the other side of the veil, jump up and down in excitement about this! As you try to figure yourselves out, you want to understand everything in its relationship to a timeline. You even want to know exactly when the spirit enters the physical body, which is a great debate on planet Earth. It is interesting that nobody has ever asked us that question. We will answer that today.
When Does the Spirit Enter the Body?
Dear ones, even after birth the soul can change. Actually, it happens all the time. A soul enters the body 27 months before the physical body is even formed. You sit on your mother or your father's shoulder--your primary parental contract--for 27 months so you can see how everything is going to relate, and how your energies are going to work out together. Then you jump in and the last nine months you form a physical being. Is your spirit in that physical being? Yes, partially. But that little body, so very close to Home, simply cannot carry that much light. It takes time to adapt the physical body to be able to carry the energy from Home. Even with all the innocence you see in the baby, with all the beauty and the brightness, the spirit cannot fully attach for several years and filters in over a period of time. It is not actually until they start connecting with their own sexual energy that the physical being becomes a holder for all the spiritual energy it will hold during that lifetime. It is actually not until the beginning of puberty that the spirit fully enters the body. That is when you see the light of Home; that is why it carries the sexual energy from Home. It carries the excitement of life. That is when you start bringing people to you and start connecting in many different ways. That is when your friendships form that you carry the rest of your life. That is when your knowledge really begins to anchor in. These are the times you start evolving as a spirit pretending to be human.
This is a special time on Earth, dear ones. It has never happened before. You have already taken the Game far beyond the highest potential the you scripted for yourself in the very beginning. Soon you will pass another marker...one that was meant to end the Game and mark the very end. However, it is not an end but rather a birth of light in the physical body. Is it important for you to raise your vibration? Yes. We hope you also go out and play. We hope you skin your knees. We hope you have wrinkle lines from laughing so hard, because those are the human experiences you wanted to have. Even pain will be welcomed as a unique human experience. That is what brings Heaven to Earth.
No More Closet Lightworkers!
There is a lot coming, dear ones. You are capable of all of it and more. The magic within each one of you is so great! If we showed you only a piece of it you would be scared and say, "Oh no. That is not me…" If only we could show you just a little glimpse, it would give you the courage and confidence to step forward and just be you, allowing yourself to make "mistakes"—as you call them. Step out and put it into forward motion. You can figure out the path later, for it is the forward motion that begins the ripple effect of movement. This is the time, dear one. Honor it. Lightworkers are going through challenges. There will be a commonality with many of you leading the way vibrationally. There will people who move, change jobs, change relationships, re-define relationships, form new gatherings, make new friends. Now is the time for you, as healers on the planet Earth to form your infrastructure that will now begin to support you as you step into what you really came here to do. It can not wait any longer; there will be no more closet Lightworkers. It is now time. We see your light and we will not let you hide it any longer.
Move in the Direction of Your Passion
The energy of Home seen through your eyes, your smile and your hugs--that is what you came here to do. Find a use for that today and you will create Home right now. Smile, laugh, and hug each another. With all the might in Heaven you can do something that we cannot—you can hug each other. Touch each other with the memories of Home, with the light of the angelic being that inhabits these physical bodies. As you step forward, the miracles start to unfold. It is going to happen on an ever-quickening basis on planet Earth. Yes, there will be fear. We can guarantee it. Yes, there will be people who do not know how to handle it. And yes, there will even be people who try to control it and manipulate it. That is uniquely human and yet, it is still the energy of Home and it is still Heaven on Earth. It will shine through you if you let it. No, you do not have to know exactly where your passion is. All you have to know is the direction. If it is not this way, maybe it is this way. Follow your heart. That is all you need and you will begin to transition into passion and it is under way on planet Earth right now.
You are entering the Age of E, the age of Empowerment. Empower yourself and those around you and Heaven will be here today.
It is the greatest of honor that we ask you to treat each other with respect. Nurture one another every chance you get. Re-member that it is a beautiful Game you are playing and Play well together.

Face to the Sun
I feel very blessed with my life. I have so much to be thankful for. Remember it is important to enjoy the highs in our life and learn from the lows. There will be times of a straight easy track but that doesn't seem to last too long as changes are always presenting themselves. One of my favorite sayings from Steve and the group is "It's not about the destination it's about enjoying the journey, enjoy the ride".
I came across this beautiful saying. It is a Maori proverb.
Turn your face to the sun
And the shadows
Fall behind you.
With love and light,
We'd like to hear your

The fact that Hillary Clinton won the New Hampshire primary isn't nearly as interesting as the fact that so many people were surprised by this. And that surprise? Well, that's due to the same thing that's keeping this writer's strike going despite millions of dollars in losses. [Yes, I know, I'm making this all about me. This is a blog, after all. But seriously, it's about me. You'll see…]
How could this happen? Sure, Hillary had a sizable lead in New Hampshire until last week, but Iowa changed all that. Obama was polling in double digit leads right up until moments before the voting started! Today, pollsters are flummoxed, as hinted at by such stories as "Pollsters flummoxed by New Hampshire primary."
Pollsters flummoxed by New Hampshire primary
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton's victory in New Hampshire's Democratic presidential nominating contest confounded pollsters, who found themselves trying to explain how opinion polls got it so wrong.
Chastened experts said on Wednesday they would have to closely analyze their forecasts against the results of the New Hampshire primaries to learn why they were so right about resurgent John McCain's win on the Republican side but so wrong about Clinton's win among the Democrats…
…"It's really a case study in the limits of momentum," said University of New Hampshire political analyst Dante Scala…
…John Zogby, who does the Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll, said the 18 percent of New Hampshire voters who reported making up their minds on Tuesday "is just an unprecedented number…"
…One issue making it hard for pollsters is that this is a history-making contest with no past parallels — Obama would become the first black U.S. president, and Clinton the first female U.S. president.
Herbst said the "public-private gap," the difference between what voters say and do, has long been tough for pollsters to gauge…
Look at all those plausible explanations up there! The press is full of pundits taking a swing at crackin' this case, most coming down on the side of sampling error, last-minute decision-making on the part of the voters, ol' fashioned racism, and Hillary crying.
Oh, come on, guys. You know that's not it. The reason's simple: We wanted the story to be about Hillary losing.
Maybe it's because she's "calculating," or too "inevitable," or maybe some of us have Conservative Clinton Revulsion Syndrome (CCRS). Mostly, though, it was that the "story" had been the same for too damn long, and talking about a Seismic Shift and Failed Strategies and getting to write Hillary's epitaph (or at least dust it off and submit it after adding today's date) was easier and more fun than spending a few days informing the public (now that it was paying attention) about the substantive differences between the (now) two frontrunners.
Pundit and pollster alike, this frenzy had to do with feelings and an abdication of professional objectivity (ooh, yeah! That's media trash-talk! Abdication of objectivity, yo!). ABC's Gary Langer manages to drive by the truth when he calls some explanations "a convenient foil for pollsters who'd rather fault their respondents than own up to other possibilities - such as their own failings in sampling and likely voter modeling." Stop the car. We're there.
Voters model. Sometimes, that'll even change what they do in the voting booth, which is the rationale behind some of the most effective push-polling. But you don't have to work for any particular candidate to push-poll, kids, oh no - you can just close your eyes, wish what you want real hard, and then go ask your questions.
But even that extra-hard wishing wasn't enough to change enough voters' minds to get the story we all wanted really, really badly, the one where an angry Hillary stomps a hole into the ground and disappears into the core of the earth. Why wouldn't the New Hampshire voters tell us THAT story? We practically begged for it! We TOLD them in a hundred ways that we wanted THAT. And they wouldn't give it to us. They're so mean.
And this is where we come back around to the writers' strike. The writers have made that small cabal of moguls mad, and now they won't come to the table and solve this because they don't want to give us the satisfaction and reward us for being big stupid meanie-faces.
Seriously, I wish any of this was more complicated. But the heads of the giant media conglomerates would really rather petulantly piss away millions of dollars of their shareholders' money than give the WGA the satisfaction of thinking that their tactics worked. And the coinage isn't completely real to them anyway - they're going to earn millions even if they get fired for slicing millions off their companies' bottom lines. It's the company's money, and so by definition the investor's money… you know, play money. The bright orange kind with cartoon locomotives on it. The kind you can afford to throw away on a brilliant business ploy known as "a snit."
Same deal with the pollsters. And it wasn't just loaded questions, either [as in Question #5 on yesterday's Zogby tracking poll: "Does the Obama mania that's sweeping the nation and capturing the imaginations of all the cool kids make you more likely to vote for our new Captain Terrific over that nasty Clinton bitch?"], it was also the effect of asking a question while wishing really hard. [And that oughta be the title of a forthcoming book on why polls often suck: "Asking a Question While Wishing Really Hard."]
The scary thing here, to me, is not how wrong the polls got it in predicting Obama's victory, no, it's asking myself how much of Obama's real bounce, the way he closed the gap between him and Hillary to just a couple of points by yesterday, really was pushed on the voters by a childish, frenzied media. I mean - yipes. But does the knowledge that we are almost certainly having a large, collective effect on voters make us more like to start reporting policy and closely monitor our rhetoric and conduct to make sure that we're maintaining a professional, objective mien at all times?
Of course not. Just like with the AMPTP, if we all agree not to be grown-ups, nobody has to be. On to South Carolina - let's see if we can hitch a ride on a strawberry-colored unicorn!

Fruit juice is a very good source of fiber and various essential nutrients. Apart from the skin, the pulpy part of the fruit can also provide high levels of fiber. For instance, the pulp of the orange is a great source of Flavonoids (or bioflavonoids) and the orange-colored part of the fruit is high in vitamin C. These to essential nutrients act together and help improve health.
Vitamin C and Flavonoids usually work together in order to support good health. This is the reason why purchasing processed fruit juices is not recommended because the fruit's essential nutrients are lost during the process. Although you can find a lot of fruit juice products in the market with 'pulp added' on their descriptions, many of these products do not contain the original fruit pulp.
Remember that the most ideal way to consume fruit is raw, including its skin. It is also recommended to eat your fruit on an empty stomach or twenty minutes before eating your meal. If you are not into fruits, you can still experience the great benefits of fruits by making juice from them.
According to researches, fruit juices with rich colors are the best because this means that the manufacturer includes the skin of the fruit in the process. It is a given fact that the skin of any fruit contains the highest intensity of essential nutrients that are beneficial to health.
In general, fruit juice helps eliminate the acids and toxins inside the body. Apart from fruit juices, vegetable juices are also beneficial to health as they can help sooth the nerves. Remember that these juices are entirely different from each other and work in different ways so it is best to use them individually.
Most people are having difficulty in losing weight. Some of them complain about eating the right kinds of foods but still cannot eliminate that remaining three to six pounds. There are many kinds of diet plans that can help you eliminate fat and a good fruit juice diet is recommended to get rid of those excess fats in the body.
Before engaging yourself into drinking fruit juice as your diet, there are certain things that you should consider in order to make it work. The first thing to do is to visit your doctor in order to determine if you have any health concerns or medical conditions.
A diet that consists of drinking fruit juice usually lasts from three days to one week. If it is your first time on this diet, it is recommended to try it for 2 to 3 days and observe its effect on your body.
Fruit juice effectively cleanses the body and eliminates all the bad toxins and chemicals instantly so it is considered as one of the best ways to detoxify the body. After two days of your fruit juice diet, you will experience stomachache, headache, irritability and tiredness but all these side effects are only temporary. Once all the chemicals and bad toxins in the body are eliminated from the body (usually after three days), you can notice weight loss, improved memory and mental functions and increased energy.
Keep in mind that it is important to avoid consuming processed fruit juices because these products are full of refined sugars, preservatives, additives and artificial flavorings. Processed fruit juices can increase the levels of insulin and in most cases, they can cause diabetes and certain types of cancer.

You got the first two steps covered here - you took the camera on your fishing trip, and you got it out while something interesting was happening. Now you've just got to work on the technique to create the picture that will get people's attention. Perhaps here you could have waited for the fish to jump or have zoomed in a bit for a closer view of the fish during the fight. Keep trying!

Agenda/reality check
PSA Reality Check - We will
schedule PSAs in a few weeks. This week we'll finish pairing students.
Demonstration videos. The groups and schedule are posted here. We start producing these next week. Please keep in mind the requirements:
We'll finish a few minutes early today to give you time to meet with your group members. Be sure to delegate responsibilties: audio design, graphics, set & lighting design, etc. We're shooting these starting next week.
Cybercollege Readings - 57 (timecode) & 60 (studio)
Signal Flow in the Studio
In a TV production studio you often hear the words "upstream" and "downstream." These
terms use the analogy of water flow to represent the flow of the video
signal to various pieces of equipment in the studio. Think of a camera
as being the most upstream element in the studio. This is where the signal
originates. After the signal comes out of the camera CCU, it flows downstream
into the input of the switcher. Once inside the Grass Valley switcher
in Studio 5, the signal flows from the Preview and Program busses to
the keyer. So the keyer is downstream of the program bus. After the keyer,
the video flows to the Master/Panic Black switch. So whatever we do on
the Program or keyer stage can be covered by the Master/Panic Black button.
After leaving the switcher, the video flows downstream to a VTR.
Studio Equipment
There are several important pieces of studio equipment that
you should be familiar with: TBCs (time base correctors), waveform monitors,
vectorscopes and switchers.
TBC (time base corrector)
A TBC, is a piece of equipment used to correct instabilities in analog
video signals, provide synchronization between video signals, and adjust
phase differences in signals to correct color or make them consistent
with other signals. TBCs usually have a "proc amp" which lets
you "tweak" or adjust the video's brightness, hue, saturation
and setup.
If you have a copy-protected VHS tape or DVD that you need to dub, you
can run the video through a TBC. It strips the old sync, which has been
modified to create dubbing problems, and replaced it with new sync.
Waveform Monitor
A device used to examine the luminance portion of the video signal and
its synchronizing pulses.
A vector display measuring device that allows visual checking of the
phase and amplitude of the color components of a video signal. NOTE:
You can't adjust or manipulate a video signal just by using a waveform
monitors and vectorscopes. They simply let you examine the signal. You
must use a TBC, a camera control
Sync generator
Provides synchronizing pulses that are fed to the TBCs
and cameras to keep them all running. All the horizontal/vertical
retracing and scanning must happen at the same time in order to blend
the video signals together with a switcher.
Video switchers allow the user to select and mix video signals. They
also provide a limited degree of effects.
Basic functions:
Switchers can have a number of different busses. A buss is simply a
row of buttons, which allow the operator to select which input goes out
to a particular destination. Usually there are at least three different
busses on a production switcher:
Basic Operation:
Special Effects & controls:
Wipe: when one image replaces or uncovers another (Write
deko does this)
Soft wipe: you can set the border to be soft (fuzzy) by a knob on the switcher
Wipe pattern: the geometric shapes you can choose from
(diamond, circle,) these are standardized and referred to by numbers
so that EDLs (edit decision lists) can pull them up consistently from
various switchers
Wipe positions and directions: al wipes can be reversed
(by pressing the reverse button on the switcher) or stopped partway by
stopping the fader bar.
Split screen: if you stop a horizontal, vertical or
diagonal wipe halfway you get a split screen.
DVE (digital video effect) allows you to actually squeeze,
rotate, flip, shrink or expand the image. Grass Valley uses the abbreviation DPM (Digital Picture Manipulation) instead of DVE- but they both mean the same. DVEs or DPMs allow for shaping or distoriting the video in interesting ways, including perspective,
squuezes, page turns, flips etc.
Keys: When using keys, the switcher replaces part of
the video signal with video from another source. There are several types
of keys you can do with a production switcher: luminance
chroma keys and external keys.
Chromakey examples:
You should also be aware of the term downstream key, which is a key
that happens downstream or after the video leaves the switcher. It's possible
to get a downstream keyer that inserts the station ID or weather warnings,
Switcher types & functions
The Grass Valley switcher in Studio 5 is just one type of switcher.
There are several different types of switchers designed for different
Production Switcher
Master Control Switcher
Simple Routing Switcher
Don't forget Audio
Audio follow video switchers. Audio switching is sometimes done by a separate device (other than the video switcher) The term "audio follows video" refers to devices that control
or trigger an audio switcher. The result is that when you swicth a video source, the audio follows along.
In the recent past, broadcasters across the nation replaced their old analog gear with digital. Stations that might have used analog RGB routers, distribution amps, and switchers had to toss/sell/scrap/retire the gear and build an entirely new system based on an HD-SDI infrastructure.
Video Recording Systems
Tape - Videotape can be in the form of open reel or more commonly found cassette shells. (miniDV, DVCPro, HDCAM, etc.)
Magnetic Disk - Uses one or more magnetic disk drives (commonly referred to as a "hard drive"). Mutlple drives are often cofigured as a RAID (redundant array of independent disks).
Optical Disk - Many camcorders write video directly to optical disks. Sony's XD Cam is one example (E.g. BluRay).
RAM-based (uses solid state memory) Now found in computers (SSD) and on consumer and professional camcorders. (Panasonic P2 cards, Compact Flash, Memory Stick, etc.)

The current problem I have with not spending holidays with my mother is two-fold: I am an Only Child and she is the Only Living Parent I have. Sometimes we enjoy each other's company and have a good time. As with most families, there are the usual bumps along the Road Of Life, but the situation in mine is growing worse each year.
Can you relate? If not, you are truly lucky/blessed. Or, you don't fall prey to Guilt Trips as easily as I do, and have happily crossed-off being with "family" on holidays to have a semblance of sanity and pleasant times with an Extended Family, which is how it "used to be" until time moved-on and my mother's age continued to climb into the Danger Zone children must face with ageing parents…knowing that each holiday could be the last with a loved-one; therefore "biting the bullet" and gathering together with them in rituals our societies hold sacred.
In writing another personal story rather than a political or Something Else Thingy, I'm hoping to shed the mental and emotional burden I'm feeling at the moment. I could simply write about what happened in a private journal; however, I don't intend to go into detail on the problems in this post, but, instead, feel that it's important to express the dilemma many of us feel about being with relatives on every holiday, every year, when chances are strong that there could be a messy ending to what we have been taught "should" be Happy Times!
Why do we, in varying cultures and societies, place so much pressure on ourselves to Be Happy on holidays? We are bombarded via advertisements to Enjoy-Enjoy-Enjoy and Buy-Buy Something for whatever the holiday may be. We are exposed to images of the Classic Genial Family Eating Food and Drinking Stuff while little children run and dash around in the background giggling and blowing bubbles. Some families are like that. Others not-so-much.
Not everyone is always in a great mood. Why should holidays be different? If one's happiness must be forced, then what gain is there? Isn't it as Fake As Fake Can Be to faux smile at the camera when you'd rather punch the person sitting next to you? Or, the person next to you wants to slap you? I'm not suggesting we show-up to family gatherings with a snarl or an unwillingness to be nice, kind, helpful.
However, if we know we may not be good company, or that our hosts may not treat us with respect, then why go? Why ruin not only our day but the experience of others? Why do we turn ourselves into masochist's just because a calendar tells us that a certain day is "special"?
The only calendar I care about is Mayan – and thus far it appears that The End many worried about from that piece of archaeological history did not arrive in 2012. So, what good is a calendar anyway other than helping us keep track of Life? Does it need to Control Our Lives, too?
With regard to the Current Issue with my mother, again I'll say, in another way, that unless one has a very Hard Heart, it is a Nice Thing to Be There for one's Only Living Parent who does not have other children. I do and have tried. And, in truth, I know my mother has "tried" as well to accept my flaws and to be there for me on Special Occasions as well. BUT, sometimes when two powerful forces collide, it's an explosive situation. And ours happened on a Perfect Night for fiery confrontations. Something combustive was "in the air."
Perhaps both of us took the 4th of July Fireworks too much to heart.

I had a follow-up email with my neurologist and would appreciate your input to the previous post above. I wroteL
It is the symptoms I describe to you that can't be seen that I want to know which disease it is. For example, no one sees a headache but they can deduce what it may be and that is what I need clarification on with all oft symptoms. Can you do that?
Here's my neurologists response to our conversation:
Your tremor condition is most consistent with a postural tremor and is therefore most resembles "benign essential tremor." I do think that it could relate to the cervical spine disc protrusion. I do not see evidence of Parkinson's disease or atypical parkinsonism (PSP, MSA (aka Shy Drager), OPCA, or Pure autonomic failure. I do not have concerns that your tremor disorder will affect your life expectancy.
I continue to believe that your condition may improve in time.
Dr. Stacey, could my condition improve even though I feel my tremor when laying down on my side, in my pants pockets when standing and when arms are folded? Aren't these rest tremors? He still thinks these tremors are related to my discs - I would truly appreciate your input with all of your expertise.
Thank youView Thread
I met with the neurologist who thinks that this is still a postural tremor even though he didn't ask to see it in the positions I experience it in - lying down or arms folded. I showed him that my hands shake when they are in my pants pockets and he still considers this postural tremor. He says that postural tremors in specific positions even when laying down can be considered postural. Is this correct? I am having a EMG test end of September.View Thread
Thank you.View Thread
If you have a moment, could you please answer my question above?
Thank you for your time.View Thread
Thank you for your response. I am already with a neurologist that specializes in Movement Disorders and have an appt for end of August. When I saw him in May and the subsequent conversations between my husband and him and he states that this isn't Parkinsons, MS, ALS, etc.
From our correspondence above in all the previous posts, you made it sound like I don't have Parkinsons or any other Parkinsonian syndrome, so when your post said that to have a DatScan to convince you that I didn't have PD was a change and I wasn't sure that you had changed your thoughts from not PD to PD, so I am sure you could understand my confusion. I am sorry if I offended you in any way, I just wanted you to clarify as I thought it may be an error in typing. Anyone in my position has many questions especially when you are young with a young children involved and reassurance is helpful along with information. Anything you would like to answer like the test you had me do for finger movement to test for rest tremor as asked above or have additional thoughts would be appreciated.
Best regards,View Thread
I apologize about the repeated posts above - I was sending it from my cell phone and didn't see that it went to a second page and thought that my email through the phone was working.
I did move my fingers when my wrists were under my pillow and other positions and the tremor did keep going, so what is that tremor called? Is this disease?
Thank you and, again, I am sorry for the emails above as the second page didn't appear on my cell phone screen.View Thread
My previous email asked about your Datscan statement - is it to convince me that I don't have Parkinsons's or that you think I have it and need the test to prove otherwise?
With the "rapid progression" from your previous email, you don't think this could be disease or any Parkinsonian syndrome?

PAWTUCKET – Earning and maintaining good field position proved crucial for Shea High on Friday night during a 19-0 victory over Central High in a Division II-B matchup at Max Read Field before approximately 200 fans.
By TERRY NAU
Sports editor emeritus
PAWTUCKET – Earning and maintaining good field position proved crucial for Shea High on Friday night during a 19-0 victory over Central High in a Division II-B matchup at Max Read Field before approximately 200 fans.
The Raiders, now 2-0 in league play and 3-0 overall, scored two first-half touchdowns with drives that began on Central's side of the field. The visiting Dragons never crossed midfield in the first half, pinned down in their own territory by an aggressive Shea defense that forced punts on all five Central possessions in the first half. When Central decided to fake a punt and run for a first down, Shea's Momodou Mbye raced up from his punt returner's spot to blow up the play.
Shea also got the biggest play of the game, a 55-yard punt return for a touchdown by freshman Yanique Duarte early in the fourth quarter to ice the game. Central finally crossed midfield in the final minute of the game. Shea's defense, a speedy and disciplined unit, stood firm and protected its unscored upon status by stopping backup Central QB Steve Alvarez at the six-yard line as time ran out.
The Raiders' defense remains unscored upon in three games this season, including consecutive shutouts these past two weeks over Pilgrim and Central by a combined 47-0 margin. Shea should have a better idea how good this defense really is when the Raiders visit West Warwick next Saturday afternoon.
Shea's defense is a swarming unit that blends strong teamwork and speed to frustrate opponents. Some of the key players Friday night included linebackers Ryan Mathias, Diaceyea Dorbor and Livingston McCarty along with DB Mbye and defensive end Jarred Mainville. Central's offense never had a chance against this crew of gang-tackling hitters.
The two teams spent the first quarter feeling each other out. Central seemed determined to pass the ball downfield, perhaps hoping to get rich quick, while Shea stuck to its running game, using good field position to take an early advantage on the scoreboard.
Shea's defense forced a quick punt on Central's first possession of the game. The elusive Duarte returned a punt 24 yards from midfield to Central's 25-yard line but the Dragons defense yielded nothing and Shea turned the ball over on downs.
After another Central punt, the Raiders launched a 12-play drive that reached Central's eight-yard line before two costly penalties, a 15-yard sack of Shea QB Ty'shon Ashe and an intercepted screen pass by Dragons' defensive lineman Gelson Silva ended the drive late in the first quarter.
Central went three-and-out, passing the ball ineffectively on each down, before a 13-yard punt gave Shea the ball at the Dragons' 47 early in the second quarter. Mbye, a running back on offense, gained seven yards on first down. Ashe then circled right end and covered the remaining 40 yards to the end zone for a 6-0 lead with 10:11 left in the first half.
On Central's next punting opportunity, the Dragons lined up with a fake in mind. Mbye sensed the fake from 20 yards downfield, crashed through a hole in the line and stuffed the ball-carrier short of the first down.
Shea took over on the Central 16 and went backwards as Ashe was sacked on fourth down for a 15-yard loss.
Once again, Shea's defense held firm, forcing a punt that gave Shea the ball at Central's 48. This time, the Raiders took advantage, needing seven plays to score. Ashe hit Duarte for a 10-yard gain to get things going. Ashe gained 16 yards on three carries, bringing the ball to the five-yard line. Mbye burst through a hole for the touchdown with 37 seconds left in the first half.
A pass for the two-point conversion went awry and the Raiders took a 12-0 lead into intermission.
Central fell to 0-2 in Division II-B with the loss.
Central 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 -- 0
Shea 0 – 12 – 0 – 7 -- 19
Scoring summary
SHEA – Ty'shon Ashe 40 run (kick failed)
SHEA – Momodou Mbye 5 run (pass failed)
SHEA – Yanique Duarte 55 punt return (Leonardo DeBrito kick)

Update 2/2/13: More pics, video and initial review.
UPDATE 12/28/2012: T-SIX Review, coming soon.
UPDATE 12/05/2012: Z8RC has obtained the full T-SIX specs sheet.
Possible, T-SIX "E" Configuration
- Cheaper price point
- Helicopter specific subset of above
Hobby King has released their Spektrum DX6i killer with a JR-like data entry system. It will bind to any DSM, DSM2, or DSMX receiver as if it was a DSM2 DX6i and costs $65 + $32 (seemingly marked up) international shipping. The only thing more spectacular than the T-SIX's international shipping cost is the base cost of a Spektrum DX6i.
Z8RC pre-release sneak peak.
It took about two weeks to get a copy of the T-SIX from the HK International Warehouse. Initial inspection reveals a slightly higher quality product than the pricey Spektrum DX6i, the T-SIX's clear competitive target.
ORX hardware advantages over the DX6i are:
ORX hardware disadvantages compared to the DX6i are:
Other knowns and unknowns:
Details and side-by-side with the Spektrum DX6i. The ORX T-SIX feels more solid and has a much bigger, illuminated screen.
Note: I had to steal this DX6i's throttle trim button to replace its broken elevator trim button.
The ORX menus are laid out better. The larger screen allows for a two-column format that shows more or all of your options to prevent hunting for an option. For example, all ten models are displayed at once when selecting a different model. Oddly, these are displayed only by Model #, not by Model Name. The Model Name should be displayed in place of the # whenever a name is programmed.
Here's is a non-exhaustive video of the ORX menu functions. DX6i owners will immediately notice the overall improvements in layout:
Many, if not most or all DX6is have problems binding to certain DSMX receivers. One of my DX6i's has the bug. My E-Flight Blade 130 and Beast 3D will not bind to my DX6i-DSMX version despite repeated attempts with all sorts of distances, timing, rituals and prayers, but the ORX T-SIX bound the same DSMX receivers every single time:
The ORX T-SIX has a better feel overall. The radio feel more solid, and the gimbals are smoother.
Data entry is easier when flying since a 4-button data entry system can be used while flying with your right hand.
The only disadvantage, though I wasn't 100% certain because my tests were in very windy conditions, is that the ORX could have slightly more latency. I simply can't say for sure since the wind prevented carefully feeling-out the difference in radios.
Head-2-Head range shootout, coming soon….
Orange color is easy to see. I also liked the more modern form factor compared to the DX6i. Like or hate the color.
Better gimbal feel, slightly easier programming. Could have slightly more latency than the DX6i; more testing required. No DSMX.
Significantly more ergonomic than the DX6i. Similar programming power. T-SIX is more Specktrum Rx compatible.
Noticeably more solid than the Spektrum DX6i benchmark.
Just because the DX6i is a D-, doesn't mean $65 gets an A. Turnigy 9ch is only $15 more including a DSM2 module.
Easily trumps the too-expensive Spektrum DX6i, but the T-SIX is priced about right for the feature set.

Angela Basset has signed on to become part of the cast for Green Lantern.
Variety.com reports that the Angela will be playing government agent Dr. Amanda Waller. She stars opposite Ryan Reynolds, who plays the lead role, and Peter Sarsgaard.
The film has already begun shooting in New Orleans, and not much is know about the storyline or the extent of Angela's part. Although she may not get a lot of screen time in Green Lantern, Angela's role is significant because Amanda is a big part of the comic series that the film is based on. So, if there are any more installments, she could have a bigger presence in those films
Those familiar with Amanda may be a bit surprised by this casting decision, because, physically, it may have been better suited for Mo'Nique, Yvette Nicole Brown or even Loretta Devine.
