This past week, one political candidate opined:
We went into a recession in 2008 because of gasoline prices. The bubble burst in housing because people couldn't pay their mortgages because they were looking at $4 a gallon gasoline.
Readers will note that I rarely take absolute positions on a subject - not only is the supporting evidence seldom clear or straight forward, but also the exact historical dynamic mix is unlikely to duplicate again in the future (making use of historical data to prove a point problematic). A recession caused by higher energy prices is one such subject - it is difficult to prove energy's exact relationship to the economy.
I find the following graph specifically revealing - it ratios energy costs to GDP. As the economy slows due to a recession with energy prices remaining constant, one would expect the energy to GDP ratio to increase (as the divisor GDP shrinks). But when the energy spike occurs in front of a recession, it is likely energy played a significant role in causing the recession. This implies an energy spike was one of the major causes of the 1980 recession, but likely only a contributor after the fact in subsequent recessions.
The major element in the USA economy is consumer spending. When an element in the consumer budget becomes more dear, the first reaction is to use less of an item or substitute (hamburger for steak). When the subject is gas pump prices:
It remains my position reinforced by personal consumption data released this past week, that the consumer remains hunkered down with income remaining at January 2007 levels - and overall will continue to spend all of its income. The only option for consumers remains the ability to reallocate their spending. Higher gasoline prices will just make the already unhappy consumer more miserable - and therefore good fodder for political campaigns. The chart below documents the reason for consumer discontent.
It is difficult to write a conclusion to this post - as evidence is not clear in establishing what point rising energy prices becomes a clear danger to the economy. The danger does not appear to exist right now - and likely even $5 per gallon gas would only present a headwind (not a stomach punch) to the economy. A recession based on the current economic dynamics would likely be triggered by other causes, with energy playing only a supporting role.
It is sad economics cannot give a straight forward answer to this simple question - it is a one dimensional "science" in a four dimensional world.
Economic News this Week:
The Econintersect economic forecast for March 2012 (first article under author's photo) continues to indicate a growing economy. This index essentially uses non-monetary measures (counting things) to determine economic growth or contraction. Several of this index's components draw on transport industry movements.
ECRI has called a recession. Their data looks ahead at least 6 months and the bottom line for them is that a recession is a certainty. The size and depth is unknown but the recession start has been revised to hit around mid-year 2012.
This week ECRI's WLI index value continues to be less bad at -3.0 - a negative value but the best index value since August 2011. This is the seventh week of index value improvement. This index is indicating the economy six months from today will be weaker - but increasingly marginally.
Initial unemployment claims were essentially unchanged at 351,000. Historically, claims exceeding 400,000 per week usually occur when employment gains are less than the workforce growth, resulting in an increasing unemployment rate (background in second article under author's photo and here). The real gauge – the 4 week moving average – fell 5,500 to 354,000. Because of the noise (week-to-week movements from abnormal events AND the backward revisions to previous weeks releases), the 4-week average remains the reliable gauge.
The data released this week which contain economically intuitive components (forward looking) was negative - rail movements. Rail traffic year-over-year contraction reported for the second week in a row is troubling.

Beautiful & Amazing!
By LOVE TO SHOP
from OLDS
The stone is amazing, beautiful colour and it just glows on my hand! The silverwork is beautiful, and there is lots of silver here. Very comfortable on my finger, doesn't roll at all. I find that I can wear a smaller size due to the construction of the ring, and that helps it to stay put. Like another reviewer said, I keep looking at the stone, it draws you in, it's that unique! Please bring more colours in the silver rings!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A different ring every time you move your hand. The colour of the stone changes with every move. Silver work is beautiful. This is a very unique ring. So glad I ordered it.

Blue Ribbon Beauty

This stone is very unique. The ring sits beautifully on the hand. The silver work is very well done, as all of Nicky's line is. A very lovely piece of jewellery.

fascinating stone
By MARY LOU
from ORILLIA
I love the stone in this ring ; it is beautiful and changes according to the lighting source and the background. The ring itself is comfortable but rather large for my small hands. I would like to see a pendant with the same stone as a pendant would be more appropriate in a large size. Also because the appearance of the stone changes with the background a pendant would look different with different fabric colours behind it. Bottom line is I never tire of looking at the stone.
But Beautiful
By psychic
from Gloucester
Very unusual yet beautiful. This is a striking ring with electric-blue wires criss-crossing inside the Quartz. The stone has many facets so that the inner threads catch any available light and the stone appears to be lit as my hand moves. Very large & very comfortable...does not roll around.

After school, for a change of pace, I decided to go out with
some of my classmates. Usually, I would just go home do homework,
and write in my journal or pop a movie in. But today felt
"Did you hear about the fight that happened at the high school?" One of the girls, Alice I think, chattered gossip with everyone as we walked toward the mall inside the campus.
The whole college was like its own city it was so huge. About three thousand students resided within it, so of course there would be things like a mall or a café or a club inside. Yet I had never gone into any of these things, either the library or home for me. We all went inside and the first thing I see is a small Wal-Mart on my left, while a star bucks was on my right. The whole place was just as big as the library, but much livelier. Chatter passed y loudly as everyone was doing something interesting, or to be witty, nobody was doing nothing. I was happy to not be nobody that day. Most of the girls entered a small boutique, and while I also wanted to go to Best Buy with all of the guys, I kind of wanted to look at dresses.
I stared at this one blue get up for a few minutes while some of the other girls were trying on things. It was a short sleeveless design with a glittery fading skirt. If only it was in green.
"You would look sexy in that." Alice, popping out of nowhere, nudged me, looking at the dress then back at me.
"No!" I automatically said, forgetting that she wasn't just Ben making fun of me.
I thought I had insulted her, but instead she just laughed.
"You're so shy! Oh my god, Sheena, help me get her into the dressing room!" She shouted to another girl who came with us, who suddenly appeared out of the dressing room.
A tall pretty blonde, she looked a little bit like the dark haired Alice, but only in shape of the face. She was wearing a long coat reminding me of London, with a white belt to shape her hips.
"Does it look nice?" Sheena twirled around, giving a big shiny grin towards us as she stopped and posed.
"Yeah yeah, Sheena! You look great in everything, we've gone over this! Now help me get Nel in the changing room, she's putting this dress on!" I yelped as Sheena just picked me up like I was a toy, and moved me towards the dressing room.
I was a decent height, above average girls, but She was like an Amazon! It felt both thrilling and concerning to have someone treat me like a tiny little girl. Alice was laughing in the background as the other girls giggled from the sight. They shouldn't be laughing, especially Alice, I'm sure Sheena did this to her all the time! Compared to her, Alice looked like a midget, but she of course tried to make it up with her ridiculously big and ridiculously cute platforms. I believe she told me once that every outfit she made for the day was based on the shoe she chose. But even with the platforms, it was scary how short she was near Sheena. But, then again, even I was short to Sheena. Everyone there was. This was so odd.
"Do you need help getting changed, or will you not run away?" She asked as she was putting me down in the tiny room.
"I don't dare even try thinking of running away with you around!" I laughed, and she smiled before leaving the room.
After getting the dress on, which took far too long due to the ridiculous strings that had to be laced up on my back, I left the room to see everyone waiting for me. Those girls cooed and ahhed and told me I looked amazing. It was too much attention for me, I blushed and fidgeted with my fingers as they touched the laced up back and played with the hem of the dress. Why am I wearing this again? They pushed me over to the three sided mirror, passing a working lady who automatically commented "That looks lovely on you miss." which automatically made me question the sincerity of all of them. But when I saw myself in the mirrors, I think I saw what they did. The light blue made my partly colored skin look creamy and soft, while the sparkles on the bottom gave the same effect for my legs, as well as elongating them. The short style of it made my arms look slender in a sweet kind of way. I looked nice. It looked good on me. For once, I was able to say "I love it" and smile. But Ben was wrong. Green would not have looked good on me. It had to be blue. Light blue looks good on me. I did end up buying it, even when I knew there was no occasion for me to wear it, but everyone seemed happy for me.
"Haha! See, aren't you happy we made you try it on?" Alice commented, laughing. She was always laughing.
"Made me? Why, what are you talking about? I did that on my own." I joked, teasing with her about the situation.
One girl in the group pushed up to touch my shoulder. "I'm glad you're looking so good, Nel. A lot of us were worried about you." and I turned to look at her. Was I really worrying others?
Not just that, how do they even know me? I barely spoke during class. But this is a strange world. I guess people can know my name without talking to me too much. It's a good thing, to know there are people who care about acquaintances. Maybe I should get to know my classmates better.
"Thanks." I told her, which was an odd response, but it seemed to be the right thing to say for me.
She smiled and said "You're welcome!" Though she also looked a little confused, and rushed over to see one of the guys at Best Buy.
The guys rejoined us and talked games, and I followed suit with my latest Call of Duty session. Mia, the girl who was best friends with the one I had just talked to, joined me, mentioning one place she was stuck on, and everyone was talking and arguing and laughing while walking to the café. Before I knew it, it was ten already, and they had to get home to the dorms before the RA's caught them. We all waved goodbye and I walked home perfectly content with the street lamps leading my way. Nobody was down at the lobby when I closed the door, and I noticed that stupid book from this morning was on the counter near the phone. How in the world did it get back here?! I grabbed it and throw it out the door, making sure not to have hit anyone. Who in there right mind would pick that thing out from the trash? Maybe it was my arch rival Gary trying to bring me pain and irritation by putting that book back into my life. Wait, that's ridiculous. I haven't played Pokemon awhile, so of course Gary wouldn't do that right now. Well, whoever it was, fictional or not, if I find out who they are I will give them a stern talking to. Huh. Then again, I've never been the talkative type. I guess I should work on that.
Going up the stairs, the mahogany colors seemed brighter to me, and the creaking of the wood with each step caused by my feet seemed more pleasant than annoying this time. How amazing one outing can be! I rummaged for my keys as I was in front of my apartment door, the silence a peace I took in stride. Opening the usual door, I went inside my usual room, where all the usual things were. But still, it all seemed brighter. But, it all was dull beforehand. Is this how it usual looks like? I suppose sight isn't always as reliable as we'd like to think.
Things were usually like this. I would think something profound and then if I didn't write it down I would forget about it. But it is a wonder how I manage to think so much during my boring every day days. I wake up, go to school, go home, read or write, and go to work on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Not too much exciting, not too much sad either. Just regular. I'm regular. But I'm also not. Geez I'm boring. But today seemed exciting, Oh, too much thinking again!
Throwing on some pajamas, and after washing my face of all the residue and cover-up, I sat down at my desk. It was across from my bed, positioned on the wall next to the window, because I wanted some kind of openness when I wrote. Flicking the desk lamp on, I plugged my ears with headphones and turned the music u, keeping the shades up to stare upon the night sky. So many stars shone, and I wondered if anyone else was staring at them like I was. Soothing instrumental music played on my ipod, and I returned to the task at hand.
The journal wasn't in some secret compartment or taped under the drawer, that would just be stupid. Nobody comes to my place anyway, let alone comes to snoop, and I have no real reason to be so secretive about my feelings. Almost half of the journal had already been filled, all from me, each piece of paper worn out and imprinted from my pen, there were some stains from simple things like dirt, and there was some bad handwriting here or there. But all the pages had something special in them, and flipping through it all makes me feel like I've been doing something fulfilling, something important that's accumulated over time all because I've made it so. It had a brown velvet cover, with the design on the front centering on a cloud in the sky. On the side where it opens like a book a red silk ribbon tied the journal shut loosely, so I could easily open it later. I was proud of this journal, from the content to the wait it looked. I opened up from the last page I had written, pushing aside the ribbon to the edge of my desk. Everyday, either just before bed or in the morning when I wake up or even during the middle of the night, I would write in my journal about the day. It never left my apartment, and I was content on spending my alone time with my journal and my world of thoughts.
October 12th, 2010
Today was extremely unusual. I saw Morgan today, and she was looking nice, but she seemed late to school. Last night I had a dream about Ben, but also about me. . .
After class, a bunch of my classmates asked me to the campus mall, and surprisingly enough, I went with them. It was the first time in a long time I had ever gone anywhere other than the school or home. I bought a beautiful dress I was forced to try on and ended up liking. Ben would have liked it, t wad down to a tee for what he wanted me to wear, except it was light blue instead of green. But I think light blue looks better.
This was the first day I barely thought about Ben at all. No, I don't mean he's suddenly disappeared form my mind completely, but I mean he didn't appear in any of the conversations or nothing except the dress. And the concern from my classmates about how I acted after he left. Some of the people, like the group with Alice and Sheena, mentioned they were worried about me, but they were happy I was feeling better. Morgan mentioned something like that too. Am I "getting better"? how exactly did that happen? Maybe it's true that time heals all sorrows. But after a long year of complete solitude and empty, I did think I was maybe an exception to that. That maybe I would just live like this forever. But maybe, within that silent year I was also growing during that time.
Am I moving on? It doesn't hurt anymore. And the fear is starting to fade. I'm thinking this might be ok. So it should be time to try. Maybe I should put Ben away in a box for awhile, and learn how things are by myself, who knows, they might turn out for the better.
All at once I'll make a dramatic change for the better. It'll be like a brand new start. The colors are returning now, and the sounds are getting better. This will be better. I'll make it better.
To Whomever Reads This,
The clock struck twelve, and I forgot to feed the fish again! I rushed to the bowl, checking to make sure nobody died, and went straight to bed after that. I closed the journal, and put it in the drawer. In there, along with mine, was a journal with a green design of the same suit. It belonged to him, his adventures chronicled that I just couldn't read yet. His parents gave it to me during the funeral, because they knew it was what he wanted. But I didn't know if he wanted me to read it or not. So I left it closed until further notice, of which I had no clue what kind of further notice I was looking for. I put my journal on top of his, and closed the drawer. I slept easily, the room felt heavy and I felt tired from the day's activities. It happened simply, I flowed into a dream as soon as my head hit the pillow. Truthfully, my last thoughts were Biology class tomorrow. But there was a smell of human body and softener, Ben's constant smell. It was in the pillow and in the sheets, and on my closet. His smell was everywhere.

Hi, next summer (2016) I will be staying in Rouen for a week. I am looking for a hands-on photography course in Rouen. Can anyone please give me directions where to find more information? Preferably English spoken. Thanks! Best regards, Gertjan
On our slow journey from Collonges la Rouge, we're considering a stop in Cahors. We've looked it up and it sounds great, but when people are doing write ups of their own town they always make it sound great. So this question is for those of you who've been there--is it worth two or three days?
Hello all,
I am planning to have a Paris trip within a few days. I have travel schedule that I have to land on Orly airport and then go to the city from there. But as I am not familiar with the city and the transportation system, I am planning to rent a taxi from there. So, I need to know about the taxi services in Paris. Is there any meter manipulation practice does the drivers conduct? How is the fare rate? Where and how to book them?
I went through the internet find a good taxi service but there are many options available. Among them, a service named Taxi in Paris grabbed my attention primarily. Please guys, let me know your experience in the city of Paris.
Thanks in advance.
We are due to arrive at Rennes airport in June 2016 after 20.00hrs. We have been told taxis do not operate at this time!
Can anyone confirm please?
Has anyone toured the recently open exposition "LE ROI EST MORT/THE KING IS DEAD?" Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!

Is there any group who is going to Taizé from 15.05 until 22.05.2016? For me it would perfect if you or your group is from Bonn/ Cologne or any other country near by.

I would be very happy, if anybody answers me ;)
Greetings Anikapa
I know it's supposed to be touristy, but seeing a as how I'm a tourist, that should be OK. Or is it disgustingly cheesy. I'm in Rocamoudor now and like it. I liked Sarlat. How does Carcassone compare?
Hello! Me and my husband will be traveling to Paris for the New Year's. I've read a lot of reviews, advice and articles about choosing the right restaurant for the New Year's Eve — and I'm a little afraid to rely on some paid commercial articles offering Top-10 restaurants... The thing is that we do not want an overpriced, super-famous, crowded place. We don't even want any show, no Moulin Rouge or other type of cabaret. We'd love spending this evening in a very cosy, traditional French restaurant. Candles, small, good food, good wine, may be jazz/live music but not like a concert. Budget is around 80 EUR per person. Might be slightly more. I'd very much appreciate your advice.
Have tumor(?) issues. Have no Carte Vitale due error of German DAK. Spent countless time to get all the paperwork, only their (DAK) EU form whatever-number is missing, asked already twice: "we will send you it within 10 days".
The "10 days" passed at least 5 times.
Still, no EU-form-whatever (and thus no Carte Vitale). In the mean time the doctors in Karlsruhe and Budapest want me to see a surgeon "sure is sure, you probably do not have a cancer - but ethically we may not tell you anything else, just see a surgeon"
It's not a pleasure to see a surgeon - but:
1) How should I proceed with French authorities? The doctors want it to be done soon (even that I recall the tumor or what-not) being there for good number of years (if not for most of my life, but not 100% sure)
2) Any decent oncologist / urologist in Strasbourg?
3) How the French system works anyway? (Have no idea, except that I need that Carte Vitale what somehow I can't get even that I have a suitcase of papers - one from DAK is missing and they keep screwing it up)
Sorry, it's not about the travel - I am just kind of busy with all traveling, working, IT stuff, family and other things, have no time for crap like dying or so, neither mood, just in case... would appreciate some help. Thanks.
What is the painting at Auberge de la Chapelle? who is the artist and what is the scene?
I am travelling to auxerre in November, is it safe to go out at night as a single female
We are staying in colmar for 4 nights, Strasbourg for 2 and Nancy for 1 before heading to lake Geneva, Switzerland next summer. What villages are the best to visit in the Alsace Lorraine region? Stopping in Mulhouse to see the car museum for my husband
I'm looking for a destination for next summer for me and my family (2 adults, 2 four years old twins). We would like a nice place in France, England, Italy, Belgium or Netherlands, to spend three weeks there.
"We" like pools or sea, easy hiking, play areas, nice landscapes, not-the-most-crowded-place in august, nice weather...
Anybody can help me to find "this" place?
I know it's supposed to be touristy, but seeing a as how I'm a tourist, that should be OK. Or is it disgustingly cheesy. I'm in Rocamoudor now and like it. I liked Sarlat. How does Carcassone compare?
Hello all,
I am planning to have a trip to Paris within a few days. But as I am new to Paris, I don't have any idea about how to get a taxi service. I have read some blogs in internet about taxi in Paris. But I need clear guideline from the experienced ones regarding the cost, booking systems, where to book and how they all about.
Thanks in advance,
With best regards :)
Hi all,
Does anybody know whether we may buy on line the Navigo (for tourists/one week period) and collect it from Charles De Gaulle airport, RER ticket office?
Greetings guys.
My family and I will be arriving from Kuala Lumpur by Vietnam Airlines at Terminal 2E and have to check-in at Terminal 2D to London by Easyjet the same day on 6th Nov 2015. After collecting the luggage from 2E, how do I proceed to check-in my luggage to 2D? Where do I need to endorse my passport?
Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.
Wanzul WD.
Hi, like to know any restaurants open for New Year Eve celebration dinner in Amboise or Loire Valley on 31Dec2015?
Thanks your any help
Hi, We are currently near Clecy, Swiss Normande, Normandy, France. We have been to several towns and villages, but not really seen many hand made products. We are looking for a shop/place which sells quality painted plates/hand made products. We are really looking for something to remind us of our trip :-) If anyone knows of anywhere that sounds suitable, please let us know and we will be eternally grateful :-)
should we travel to paris in the next 15 days?
What is the situation on the land borders with Germany? I am stuck in Hungary (as we know, French government officials asking for extensive paperwork for anything). I was complying with all the paperwork requests from the French government (and this is not very fast in Hungary or RU either).
While doing so we had the tragic events first with the airplane, than in Paris. The newspapers in Hungary report that the borders are closed - but now I have to travel back (by car) and have no idea, what is going on.
Will try to call the French Embassy but if any local in Strasbourg and / or Karlsruhe would tell what is the situation on the ground that would be helpful. I live in Alsace.

Big Ship Cruising
What do you want to do today? Where do you want to eat? On a big ship, these are legitimate questions that need to be answered because the choices are not limited to either/or.
The major cruise lines that have been unveiling and sailing larger and larger cruise ships for the past decade take pride in offering so many choices that, for instance, it takes a week to visit every restaurant or dining room for dinner.
Superliners from Carnival Cruise Lines, Costa Cruises, MSC Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean International and others provide a cruise vacation that can be wild and wooly one minute and cool, calm and collected the next. The facilities on these floating resorts, which all deserve the state-of-the-art label, will satisfy everyone from the health nut who wants to stay fit to the party animal who wants to dance all night.
How do you choose between, say, Carnival, Royal Caribbean or Norwegian?
It's the big ships that feature the headline-grabbing innovations like surfing and sky-diving simulators, rock-climbing walls, ice skating rinks and wave pools, but because they are newer, they also feature some of the neatest twists on cruise-ship staples such as health spas, libraries and game rooms.
Mix in a few days visiting appealing ports, and a week on a big ship will seem to fly by. What may be most impressive, though, is how these ships can accommodate more than 4,000 people while not seeming crowded. More than anything, that's a testament to all the different choices everyone is making every day.
Big ships typically offer exceptional value, but get you with the on-board spending. You'll pay for extra for everything, soft drinks, speciality coffees, wine, beer and spirits. Plus, you'll need to budget extra, as gratuities are not included as they are on luxury cruises. Still, big ship cruising can be tons of fun, and they offer up something for everyone in the family.
Big Ship Cruise Reviews By Cruise Line
Big Ship Cruise Reviews By Cruise Ship
Big ships offer a multitude of features that really are designed to please everyone. But not all big ships are created equal. To read a review of a particular ship, click the link under "Read the Review." If applicable, our Live Voyage Reports offer a day-by-day overview of an actual cruise onboard. In some cases, there may be more than one report, to be sure to see if your favorite destination is represented.

Kripalu Guest Stories: Lara T.
When I first came to Kripalu, I had been living in New York City and was very career focused: I'd published a book and was working on my teaching career. I was reaching a point of burnout, totally caught up in the competition of New York. My coping strategy was to distract myself, rather than get at the root of the problem. I was ready for a change.
I had walked by a particular yoga studio for years. One day I showed up and tried it, and I was hooked. I had been trained as a dancer, but this was a kind of movement based on the individual, not the group. I loved that I didn't have to look just like the person standing beside me. Then a writer friend told me about Kripalu. I'd never heard of it but it looked like a beautiful place—I decided to give it a try.
When I came to Kripalu I didn't know what to expect. I thought I'd find a lot of people with really great yoga outfits. But here it's more about what your body is feeling instead of what your body looks like. After that first visit, I came to Kripalu three more times in the space of nine months. These days, I come to Kripalu on a regular basis, to teach workshops for the R&R Retreat program.
At Kripalu, I've learned things that I didn't find in my yoga classes in New York. I've been able to discover the eight limbs of yoga here. There is a willingness among everyone here to learn much more about the self—even the shadow self, the parts we tend to ignore or avoid. I'm grateful for the opportunity to know myself better at Kripalu and, in knowing, to become more empowered.
—Lara T., author and teacher, Kripalu faculty member

Raccoon attacks woman in Tigard
Tigard, Ore. – There's a raccoon menacing families in Tigard.
Kids told us they're scared, some of their parents filled spray-bottles with bleach, and the raccoon recently bit a woman, sending her to the hospital.
Cheri Bishop she said she was attacked by a raccoon outside her house.
"I came out to paint my toenails and have a cigarette, well there was a raccoon hiding out here," she said. "He attacked me. He came running out from under the tarp."
Bishop said the raccoon bit her foot.
"He has that silly little bandit mask. He tries to act like he's gonna be friendly," she said.
Stephanie Huertas lives in the neighborhood. She says her kids are afraid to go outside by themselves after dark.
"He puffed up and started hissing and growling at us," Huertas said. "My husband stepped back, threw a rock. It actually hit him. Sent him sideways."
But that didn't stop the raccoon.
"He came right back," said Huertas.
Bishop said she and her neighbors called the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife last month, before the raccoon attacked her. She thought ODFW would send someone to her house after she called. Instead, they sent her a permit allowing her to trap and euthanize the raccoon in a humane way.
"I'm not Grizzly Adams. I'm a city girl," Bishop said.
An ODFW wildlife officer told KATU the department almost never sends someone to track raccoons unless there is an immediate, urgent threat. Most people in similar situations hire a professional, the officer said.

Forsythe and South Squad Fall to North in Shrine Bowl All Star Football Classic

The annual game features the top seniors from this past fall from across the state of Iowa split into two squads. Pella's Blaine Forsythe was a member of the South squad and played safety and place kicker. The South squad had several turnovers in the game which aided the North in their shutout victory. Forsythe said he thoroughly enjoyed the entire week and it's an experience he'll never forget. Forsythe will attend Augustana, an NCAA Division II school in South Dakota to play football this coming fall.

Yes the screen size is the same but the body is not... It will be longer and much more odd looking because of it. Not only more odd looking (like a long clown shoe), but also if the bezel for the home button remains the same it will be less manageable with one hand because the length of the screen you would have to traverse added with the bottom of the bezel where the phone would rest in your hand. Additionally at the lower resolution it still impacts customer experience. None of Apples content on iTunes is at the crazy non-standard resolutions they insist on using time and time again; they are industry standard resolutions like 1080P. There are standard for a bloody reason. Because Apple ignores this, this leaves iOS customers with having huge black bars on the top and bottom of their viewing experience... You could then double tap to blow up the video but that would mean you would be missing what's going on in the scene on the sides... It's just a bad customer experience and makes it even worse that in a sense your competition is using standard resolutions for their flagship devices that are 'more compatible' with the content you sell than your own bloody devices.
You're showing your lack of knowledge. There are several HD pixel counts. 1280x720, 1920x1080, and of course 2560x1440 (4x) HD. All these have one thing in common that allows a video shot at any HD pixel count to be viewed on different displays, and that's the fact they all share a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is the reason Apple elongated the display on the iPhone 5; to give it a 16:9 aspect ratio versus the 4:3 (16:12) aspect ratio of all previous models. So, beginning with the iPhone 5, iPhones no longer letterbox HD video with large blank areas of screen real estate. And that means iPhone is the same aspect ratio of most Android phones.

John White, Louisiana Superintendent of Education, is proposing a new program to build students' career skills.
- Filed Under
Career education: It's not just for those seeking jobs straight out of high school anymore.
Superintendent of Education John White says restructuring career education into "Jump Start," a new program that he says will offer training opportunities for students whether they're seeking to be scientists or welders, will be of significant value to all students.
"It's time to end the stigma against career education," White said in a telephone news conference with reporters. It has been criticized as not really preparing students for employment in the past and "we can do better." ...

I have a 2.5 stock and the heater puts out very little heat and hardly blows. Has anyone upgraded there stock 2.5 and can give me a few options? Much appreciated.
I thought all that stuff was the same no mater what engine you have, am I wrong in thinking this?
Flush or replace the heater core, check or replace the thermostat, make sure the actuator cables are hooked up. One of those will make you sweat!
i have a 2.5l and the blazer heater motor works great. I just upgraded it about a week ago. what a difference. just go get part number pm102 at AutoZone and switch it out. if you search "heater upgrades" you will find step by step on how to do it.
I have to turn the blower down to the half setting after the water temp hits 180 because it gets too hot :D
As far as I know, mine's stock.
Cowl vent clogged? I pulled a ton of leaves out of mine before winter.
Also, thought this was somewhat relevant here, might build them:
My Jeeps like a nice and toasty until I get on the highway.

2008 Data Security Products: Buying Guide
2008 Data Security Products: Buying Guide
In this Guide
Security solutions range from software and services to anti-theft products designed to deter would-be thieves or make it easier to recover items once stolen.
Security Suites
With computers most vulnerable to malicious activities when connected to the Web, several companies now specialize in developing and continually updating software applications that address specific types of threats. Most bundle multiple layers of protection into a security suite, sold on a yearly basis. Where these suites differ most is in the user interface, and the extras included in the package.
Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite
Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.
$49.95 for annual subscription
This security suite for Windows XP and Windows Vista is easy to set up and use. It removes real or potential threats that may have infected the computer prior to installation, and then protects against such intrusion and malware in the future. Specific components protect against spyware, phishing, and spam. It includes firewall protection for the operating system and network, spy site blocking, and an identity theft component to prevent and resolve any unauthorized access to your data.
McAfee Total Protection
McAfee Inc.
$59.95 annual subscription
This suite gives Windows users all the features of the company's Internet Security suite, plus a Site Advisor and home network protection. The software can be set to provide routine maintenance of a computer, block offensive Web sites, and automatically back up files to a remote server. The Site Advisor Plus checks the validity of links embedded in e-mails or instant messages, while the home network component continually monitors the network and connected PCs and peripherals for security attacks.
Trend Micro Internet Security Pro
Trend Micro Inc. 888-762-8736
$69.95 annual subscription
For Windows XP and Vista, this bundle includes programs to safeguard your data and identity, and guarantee a secure environment for any online transaction.

Smartphone Security
Hackers now target smart phones with the same types of malicious programs that threaten computers. Publishers of security software have stepped up to these challenges with suites developed specifically for these mobile handsets.
Kaspersky Mobile Security
Kaspersky lab
$29.95 annual subscription
This bundle combines protection against malicious software and unwanted advertising with theft prevention and recovery tools. It was developed for phones running the Symbian 9 or Windows Mobile 5.0 operating systems or later. Its security mode scans all incoming files and connections to identify and prevent potentially damaging files and downloads. It also blocks unsolicited SMS messages containing adware. If the phone is lost or stolen, the software can delete personal data and notify the owner of the new phone number if the phone's SIM card is removed.
Norton Smartphone Security
Symantec Corp.
$29.95 annual subscription
Also for smart phones running the Symbian 9 or Windows Mobile 5.0 or later operating systems, this suite provides you with the same approach to security as seen in Norton's PC products. Components include a software firewall to control inbound and outbound network traffic on the phone; a smart phone version of Norton Antivirus to detect potential threats and prevents you from accessing infected files; and anti-spam protection for SMS to automatically filter or delete incoming spam messages.
Theft Recovery Systems
If your computer is stolen, all is not lost — provided you've installed and activated software services that can alert you to its location.
PC Phone Home
Brigadoon Security Group
Available in versions for Windows and Mac computers, this system uses e-mail to help owners of stolen PCs recover their property. The software transmits an e-mail message to an address assigned by you every time the computer connects to the Internet. If the hardware has been stolen, that message identifies the computer's present location. The price includes technical support to help you work with law enforcement to recover your computer.
ComputTrace LoJack for Laptops
Absolute Software Corp. 800-220-0733
This software service helps owners of Windows or Mac notebooks locate and recover them. Operating in the background, the software transmits its location to Absolute's Recovery Team whenever it connects to the Web. If the hardware has been reported stolen, the service notifies you and local law enforcement. The included Data Delete service can also be used to remotely erase files, passwords, and other documents as soon as the service is notified.
Security Hardware
These are just a few examples of products available to protect your hardware, and the data it contains, against theft or unauthorized access.
ComboSaver Notebook Lock Ultra
Kensington Computer Products 800-235-6708
A simple deterrent, this system can be used to secure a notebook PC. Its six foot long length of tempered steel cable attaches to a laptop's security port. It can be locked in place with the slim profile keyless four-wheel combination lock. You can easily reset the lock combination.
DEFCON Privacy Filters

Starting at $47.99 for 12.1 inch widescreen

Laptop filters are available for screen sizes up to 17 inches; an LCD version for widescreen displays up to 30 inches.
Microsoft Fingerprint Reader

This accessory for computers running Vista allows owners to use their fingerprint as password authentication.

A hardware-based security system, this compact card plugs into a laptop's ExpressCard slot to provide complete protection of all data assets, on and offline.

Murray homicide suspect released from hospital, booked into jail
A Murray man accused of gunning down his girlfriend during a domestic violence incident this month has been released from the hospital and booked into jail.
Salt Lake County jail records show that Ryan Randy Robinson, 31, of Murray, was booked into the jail Tuesday afternoon on suspicion of homicide, aggravated assault, illegally possessing a weapon, all felonies, and two related misdemeanor counts.
As of Wednesday morning, he had not been charged with a crime.
Robinson is accused of killing Shantelle Reid, 25, on April 9 at the Murray home they shared at 6341 S. 725 East. Murray police said Reid was shot to death shortly after neighbors reported seeing Robinson beating her in a yard close to his parents' home. When police responded, police said they both denied fighting.
At about 4:45 p.m., an officer came back and saw Robinson walking in the street, drinking a beer. Neighbors said the officer told him to show his hands, but Robinson responded with profanities. The officer drew his gun, and Robinson fled through the parking lot of a nearby LDS ward house with the officer in pursuit.
The officer chased Robinson to Mount Vernon Drive, the next street to the west, where the officer shot and wounded Robinson.
Witnesses said they noticed a can of beer and a handgun on the ground where Robinson was shot.
Afterward, officers entered Robinson's home and found Reid shot to death inside.

I have this!
Have you ever scratch yourselves and find out that welts in horizontal or vertical lines, along with the direction of your scratches, appear on the surface of your skins? When you do, perhaps you are one of 4 to 5% of world population who suffers from skin writing, that is dermographism or dermatographism, or more specifically, dermatographic urticaria.
What is dermatographism? It is a mild skin disease. Calm down, it is neither life threatening nor contagious. Dermatographism is caused by the weak membrane of the cells. In results, the mast cells, whenever are faced with stress or pressure, will break and release the substance called histamine. This is somehow similar to the allergic reaction (the release of histamine). These mast cells are the sources of histamine and this histamine will cause inflammation of local areas of your skin, resulting in the raising of the skin surfaces whenever you scratch, rub, or stroke them. As itchiness can appear after the welts, some people think that dermatographism results in itchiness –and scratching — whereas actually it all begins from the scratching or other forms of pressure to the skin themselves.
Dermatographism can be cured with antihistamine. A non-medication way is somehow to avoid hot baths or showers. The symptoms of the raised skin usually last in minutes, but in some cases, they can last in several days or weeks. Another cool fact is that it is told that there was an artist who got dermatographism and used his own skin as one of his art media. You may also fantasize by "drawing" or "writing" on your skin using some intentional scratches, no? Of course, only when you don't mind and you're sure that it will not result in any other further complications. Now, you judge that it can actually be referred as mild disease, and ow yeah, avoid tight outfits!

I have this!
I honestly enjoying this ability to write on my skin but sometimes, it bothers me because its itchy… yet as you've said, its cool…!
thank you for this great info
I got this last summer after getting heat exhaustion many days in a row. My cells became weakened by the heat, additionally my Dr. found a strep infection floating around in my blood which may have been a factor. luckily after treatment with steroids and antihistamines for 3 months it went away, but comes back occasionally.
this was a very poorly written article. if you really want to know more about dermatographic hives search dermatographia or skin writing on wikipedia or google.
I am the artist you speak of in this article, and that image of writing on legs is mine. Please credit it to me, Ariana Page Russell. Also, I am a woman: "Another cool fact is that it is told that there was an artist who got dermatographism and used his own skin as one of his art media"
I also wrote about how to manage the itchiness of dermatographia here:
Thank you for making the changes I requested.
I have this dermagraphism urticaria, mine is a mild case, but was born with it. It is difficult when I scratch from an itch, and I get all red , blochy and look like hives and welts. Everyone always ask, what's wrong, and "oh my god, what happened to you".i don't feel it. Except when I itch. And I am very sensitive to alot of soaps and lotions. Yes I can very easily breeze my skin with my finger nail and it will welt up.
Its just nice to know other people actually have this and not feel like I have this freak skin
The internet is truly a gift. I've had this for 45 years and any Dr or derm who's noticed it, I scratch my arm or neck or where ever and it is instantly flame red against my very pale skin, and they think I am having an allergic reaction to something, when I'm not even there for that. Now really how dumb are they that NONE of them ever came across this in med-class, particularly in derm? So interesting to finally know what it is. And yeah it's always been a treat, for my friends, to write on me like a piece of personal art/friend, and use me for tic tac toe in camp when we were paperless in the woods.

Rumors that major pharmaceutical companies may be circling Ariad Pharmaceuticals (ARIA) regarding a potential buyout helped drive shares of the volatile stock higher on Thursday. Ariad was up over 11 percent Thursday on extremely heavy volume, continuing Ariad's bigs swings that have come to characterize the stock in recent months.
Ariad Buyout Rumors Spark Run
The inciting incident for today's gain appears to be an article that appeared in the Daily Mail that speculated that several major buyers could be interesting in buying Ariad. The article states that Eli Lilly (LLY) , GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) , and Shire (SHPG) are all interested in purchasing the company following the approval of Iclusig (a pill form of Ponatinib treatment) for treatment of leukemia patients.
The frontrunner is reportedly Eli Lilly, who may be willing to pay as much as $20 a share. That would take the price close to the share value in October prior to a massive plunge following serious regulatory concerns.
Could Ariad's Wild Ride Finally be Coming to a Close?
Ariad Pharmaceuticals has been on a long, wild ride that has taken shares from a 52-week high of $23 a share, to $22.50 a share in October before the FDA put a hold on Iclusig because of worries about blood clots. That sent shares plummeting to the 52-week low of just $2.15 a share. Shares continued to exhibit big volatility on heavy volume over the next month, with double-digit swings in a single day not at all out of the norm.
However, things started to stabilize for Ariad after the FDA approved Iclusig again with new prescribing guidelines. Now, Ariad's been making steady gains since mid-December and appears to have left the worst behind it.
What the future holds for Ariad is still far from clear, and the fact that the stock is trading at under $7.50 a share should prove that a certain healthy skepticism of the $20 a share price quoted in the buyout rumors.
