TUCSON, Ariz. -- UCLA won its sixth-consecutive Pac-12 road game (dating back to last season) on Friday night with a 67-61 win over Arizona at the McKale Center.
The Bruins got back to .500 with the win to improve to 8-8 overall and 2-2 in the Pac-12. The Wildcats dropped to 4-10 overall and slipped to 0-3 in league play.
Thea Lemberger, who didn't practice this week due to a leg injury, had a game-high 19 points to go with six rebounds, five assists and two steals. She entered tonight's game 0-for-13 from three-point range, but sank 2-of-6 on the night.
The Bruins built their largest lead of 15 points (25-10) on a layup by Atonye Nyingifa at the 9:14 mark of the first half. Nyingifa was one of four Bruins in double figures, registering her third consecutive double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds. UCLA held a 37-31 lead at the break and outrebounded the Wildcats 27-14.
UCLA never trailed in the contest and led 56-48 with 7:48 remaining. But Arizona engineered a 7-0 run in a two-minute span to trim the lead to 56-55 with 5:48 to go on a layup by Candice Warthen. Lemberger hit her second three-pointer at 5:04 to push the lead to four. After a pair of free throws by Arizona, Nirra Fields drained her second trey of the game (finished with 11 points) to give the Bruins a 62-57 advantage with 4:01 to go. The Wildcats, which didn't make a field goal the final 5:48 of the game, never threatened again.
Luiana Livulo had a solid outing, tying her career-high of 11 points for the third time this season. She also had five rebounds against the Wildcats. Corinne Costa had a nice outing with six points and eight rebounds to help UCLA outrebound Arizona, 44-35. Costa also registered two blocks to become UCLA's leader with 15 on the year in just her sixth game of the season.
LaBrittney Jones led Arizona with 14 points. Warthen was the only other Wildcat to reach double figures with 10 points.
The Bruins return to action at Noon on Sunday, Jan. 12, when they travel to No. 23 Arizona State. The game will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks.

Give till it hurts! That's what they say when considering how much to donate to local charities during the holiday season. Here are profiles of five local charities that support the health and wellness of our local and global community. Consider giving more than you get this year.
Women Like us Foundation
Women Like Us Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging, empowering and engaging women and girls to make a difference globally and locally. This foundation has a local and international impact. Your donation go to support women in depressed areas around the globe and help support local program that empower young women to become future leaders.
Based on the book, Women Like Us: Real Stories and Strategies for Living Your Best Life, by Linda Rendleman, an inspirational tea and speaker series was created by Linda and Dr. Sally Brown Bassett to expand on the theme of the common threads which run through women's lives. Our stories are singular, but our passions are shared. After the initial success, the Women Like Us Foundation was created to inspire and empower women and under-served girls to make a difference globally and locally.
Our mission is accomplished in a number of ways, including implementing Women Like Us Afternoon Tea and Speakers Series, raising funds for sustainable global projects, supporting women to start their own WLU Chapters, offering short-term humanitarian trips, and through a mentoring program for high school girls.
Heifer International
Heifer International's mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the Earth. While this charity does not have it's home base in Indiana, it was started by an Indiana farmer. This idea of giving livestock to help support the food sustainability of poor communities is fast becoming popular choices for charitable contributions.
We empower families to turn hunger and poverty into hope and prosperity – but our approach is more than just giving them a handout. Heifer links communities and helps brings sustainable agriculture and commerce to areas with a long history of poverty. Our animals provide partners with both food and reliable income, as agricultural products such as milk, eggs and honey can be traded or sold at market.
When many families gain this new sustainable income, it brings new opportunities for building schools, creating agricultural cooperatives, forming community savings and funding small businesses.
The Indianapolis Foundation
Can't decide which charity to give to? By giving to your local community foundation, you can make your donation go further. Traditionally community foundations support multiple non-profit organizations in your community. Those organizations apply for funding each year and awards are given to the one that best meets the criteria for each grant.
As Indiana's oldest and largest community foundation, The Indianapolis Foundation (a CICF affiliate) was created in 1916 to ensure that the quality of life in Marion County continuously improves; to help where the needs are greatest and the benefits to the community are most extensive; and to provide donors a vehicle for using their gifts in the best possible way now, and in the future as conditions in the community change.
Humane Society of Indianapolis
This local humane non-profit has been around for many years helping find homes for thousands of animals in our community each year. It not only helps provide housing for homeless animals but is known for providing top notch humane education and spay/neuter services to help create better pet owners to reduce the number of animals needing homes. They also provide lower cost veterinary services so every pet has access to quality care.
The Humane Society of Indianapolis is an Indianapolis-based, independent nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that receives no government funding. We are supported solely by contributions, grants, bequests, investments, and adoption and service fees. We receive no funding or guidance from the United Way, the Humane Society of the United States, or the ASPCA. Your financial gift shows a deep personal commitment to animals in Central Indiana.Your financial gift supports our plan to end the suffering and neglect of Hoosier animals. When you donate,
- You help us provide medical and behavioral care to cats and dogs at our shelter, and make it possible for us to save lives by not putting animals down because of space or time.
- You're supporting the launch of a world-class animal-welfare center featuring low-cost spay/neuter services to those most in need.
- You make it possible for us to provide services to the community such as pet behavior help and a low-cost vaccine clinic.
Earth Charter Indiana
The Earth Charter is a declaration of fundamental ethical principles for building a just, sustainable and peaceful global society in the 21st century. It seeks to inspire in all people a new sense of global interdependence and shared responsibility for the well-being of the whole human family, the greater community of life, and future generations. Earth Charter Indiana is committed to advancing these principles here in Indiana.
The Earth Charter Indiana is also related to other green and eco-conscious charities in Indiana including Sustainable Indiana and A Greener Indiana. What a great way to make your gift last by supporting sustainability focused charities!!

Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna
Vienna Travel
The Schonbrunn Palace is is a former imperial summer residence. The House of Habsburg was an important royal house and they reigned in Austria for over six centuries. Nowadays, Schonbrunn Palace is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and the main tourist attraction in Vienna.
The Schonbrunn complex includes:
- The Palace
- Great Parterre (garden with 32 sculptures)
- Neptune Fountain
- French Garden
- The Tiergarten (the Imperial Zoo)
- Gloriette (building on the hill with a view over Vienna)
the Gloriette with the view deck on top
The ticket price for an adult is:
- Imperial Tour is €9.50 (35 minutes tour through the palace)
- Grand Tour is €12.90 (50 minutes tour)
Children between 6-18 pay for these tours: €6.50/€8.90
Students and disabled have a discount
There are several combined tickets with special discounts:
A family ticket for the Classic Light Pass is €33 and €14.90 for individuals. This pass includes the grand tour, admission the Gloriette with viewing terrace, 2 gardens and a cake. The Gold Pass is the most expensive (€39) and includes the Zoo, a museum and the Palm House.
opening hours
- 1st April to 30th June: 8.30 - 17.00
- 1st July to 31st August: 8.30 - 18.00
- 1st September to 31st October: 8.30 - 17.00
- 1st November to 31st March: 8.30 - 16.30
tips & visitor information
Most visitors at Schonbrunn take the tour through the Palace. When we arrived in August 2010 there was allready a queue with visitors outside the building. It took us half an hour before it was our turn. After buying the tickets we had to wait a second time. The tours through the palace are individual tours with an audioguide; not guided tours. Every tour takes about 35/50 minutes. When the visitors have finished the tour, the next group of visitors can start their tour. Most tour groups come in the morning. If you come at noon there are little visitors at the entrance gate and in the palace.
I believe the admission to the main gardens behind the palace is free. Everybody can walk through the main building or just around the palace to the gardens. The ticket offices are only selling tickets; they are not checking admission to the palace. In the hall behind the ticket offices is the way out to the gardens and the entrance to the palace rooms.
travel to Schonbrunn Palace
Schonbrunn Palace is just outside the city center. Take metro line U4 to Huttedorf, stop at station 'Schonbrunn'. From the metro station to the palace is a 7 minutes walk.

Mr. T. T. Taylor, of the second
ward, was in town on Tuesday last.
He says the water is falling much

from us. He says that they are lucky
to get a fall of 3-4 of an inch in twenty
four hours. We cannot account for
this difference in the fall of the river at
such % short distance, unless it is that
we are helped by the break just oppo

To-morrow morning at eleven
o'clock the annual celebration of
Children's Day will take place at the
Methodist Church, when a very inter
esting and pleasing programme will be
presented to all who desire to attend.
Children's Day heretofore has proven
a great success, and no doubt to-mor
row the children will acquit them
selves as creditably as they have done
in the past. A cordial invitation is
extended to all to be present.
Last Saturday morning Mr. John
Plttman shot and killed a negro by the
name of George Boyd iu the public
road, on the Wilton front. It seems
4hatthe negro owed Mr. Plttman a
supply account and was attempting to
move off of Wilton down to Stein's
without settling up before leaving.
Mr. Pittmau wrote Mr. Stein a note in
reference to the matter and told him
that if the negro would pay one balt
of his Indebtedness he would relin
quish him. To this he received no
reply. The night before the killing,
Boyd carried off a large portion of his
effects in one of Mr. Stein's wagous
through the back part of the planta
tion and next morning was returning
for the balance, coming up the public
road along the levee front, when he
was met by Mr. Pittman. A short
conversation took place between them,
duriug which Mr. Pittman told Boyd
that he did not intend to shoot him,
but that he could not go on until he
was paid. The negro replied that by
G--d he was in the state read and
nobody could stop him. Mr.Pittman
caught the bridle of one of the rronL
mules, and as he did so, Boyd raised
his Winchester to fire; but before he
could do so Mr. Pittman cocked his
rifle and shot him in an instant, the
ball entering near the thigh and com
ing out near the spioe. He died in a.
few minutes. The only reasou Mr.
Pittman was not shot was doe to the
fact that the'negro's gun was rusty
and would not work rapidly.
Although done in self defense, the
affair is regretted very much by Mr.
Pittman, who had no idea of his
trouble with the darkey terminating
so fatally.

Hello guys, maybe one additional bug, I'm not sure. 1) Open kronolith, click "add event" 2) click "Edit Attendees" 3) On the next screen: click Address Book 4) Now selected a address book that isn't use for expanding addresses.

I put some more output in the sql.php an found the following problem. The search in the address book shows the correct owner_id. So the user is found and shown.

Re: Plotting Structural Data on a Stereonet
Joe Kington <joferkington <at> GMAIL.COM>
It seems that there were some problems in the first Examples.tar.gz file that I attached. Here's a version that should work.
On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM, Joe Kington <joferkington <at> gmail.com> wrote:
Hi everyone,
I've been plotting a lot of structural data on a stereonet lately, and while this is possible in GMT, it can't be done directly.
To make things a bit easier on myself, I put together a python program to output lat,long pairs corresponding to the line or point representing a strike/dip, plunge/bearing, pole to a plane, or rake measurement. It reads strikes in azimuth or quadrant form, and assumes RHR if no dip direction is given. It can also "unfold" data (e.g. rotate each measurement so that a given strike/dip is horizontal), for simple cases (non-plunging folds). Coupled with various GMT tools, you can also plot contours of poles to planes, find a best-fit plane to data (using fitcircle), etc.
Forgive me if I'm reinventing the wheel, here, but I don't know of any other software to plot data on a stereonet in linux. Rick Allmendinger's software only works on mac and windows and doesn't produce (i.m.h.o.) as nice an output as GMT does. My script makes it much easier to analyze and plot structural data using GMT's various tools. It requires python 2.3 or later, but should work on any platform. (OSX or any recent *nix distribution should already have what you need. Otherwise, just install the latest version of python.)
Installation should be as simple as moving the script to somewhere in your $PATH and chmod +x. More detailed instructions (and instructions for windows) are in INSTALLATION.txt. Also note that "stereonet" alone will try to read from stdin and print to stdout, rather than printing a help message. Try "stereonet --help" to see the usage.
There are several examples in the attached examples.tar.gz file.
Also, the "unfolding" function hasn't been rigorously tested. It's probably best not to use it for anything important. There undoubtedly various bugs, but I think (hope?) its rather robust.
Let me know if anyone finds it useful,

This article is continues Part 1, where you generated and tested a J2C (or JCA) bean for a SAP resource adapter outbound scenario, using the enhanced Java EE connector tools in Rational Application Developer Version 8.0. The J2C bean artifacts have been generated in the workspace and the workspace has been launched. Part 1 also tells you what you need to have installed to work through this hands-on example.
Be sure that you've read that article before proceeding with this one. You can find it easily by clicking "More in this series."
Create a simple JSP to expose the J2C bean functionality
After the "J2C Java bean selection" view is launched under the "Java EE Resource from J2C Bean" window, the path to the generated J2C bean that you generated in Part 1 is automatically entered in the "J2C bean implementation" field (see Figure 1). Now you need to create a simple JavaServer Page (JSP) to expose the functionality provided by the generated J2C bean.
- In that "J2C Java bean selection" window, click Next.
Figure 1. Select the J2C bean to generate deployment artifacts
- On the Deployment Information page (Figure 2), there are four deployment options: EJB, Faces Web Page, Simple JSP and Web Service. The default deployment method is Simple JSP.
- Check the box labeled Configure Resource Adapter Deployment so you can configure the way that the resource adapter deployment will show, in step 5.
- Click Next.
Figure 2. Simple JSP selected by default
- To generate a Simple JSP, you need to create a dynamic web project to hold it, so click the New button next to the web project to generate that project. For Target Runtime, use WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
The name of the web project will automatically show in the "Web project" name field.
- For the "JSP folder" name, enter
sample(see Figure 3), and click Next.
Figure 3. Generate the simple JSP
- When the Resource Adapter Deployment page appears, click Finish to generate the deployment artifacts.
If you do not select the "Configure Resource Adapter Deployment" check box in step 2, this page won't show.
The default SAP resource adapter deployment is "Deploy as Stand Alone," which means that the resource adapter will be installed on WebSphere Application Server. For this example, it will be installed on Version 7.0. After it is installed on that server, the applications that need the SAP resource adapter to connect SAP server can share the same resource adapter.
However, if you select "Deploy within EAR," the resource adapter will be packaged within the EAR file and will not be visible or used by other applications.
Figure 4. Select the default resource adapter deployment option
- Inspect the content of the Java project and the web project. Figure 5 shows the structure of the artifacts generated both for the Java project, SAPBAPISample, and the web project TestWeb.
The J2C bean is generated in the Java project with schema files, and simple JSPs are generated in the web project.
Figure 5. Artifacts generated for both the web and Java projects
Test the simple JSP on WebSphere Application Server
- First, you must deploy an EAR file that contains your web project to the WebSphere Application Server, Version 7.0, as shown in the Add and Remove window in Figure 6.
Figure 6. Add the EAR file to the WebSphere server
To deploy the EAR file to the WebSphere, you need to open the Server view, right-click the WebSphere 7.0 server instance, and select Add and Remove.
- Now, right-click TestClient.jsp, and then select Run As > Run on Server (see Figure 7).
- Run TestClient.jsp on the WebSphere Application Server.
Figure 7. Test the createSapBapiDemoWrapper method
- In the left pane of the Web Services Test Client tab (TestClient.jsp file), under Methods, click createSapBapiDemoWrapper in. Input data is shown in the Inputs.jsp file which is shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8. Test the "createSapBapiDemoWrapper" method
- Enter this input data in the Inputs.jsp file:
- Under sapPiPersonaldata, enter those values:
- city: Burlingame
- lastName: Johnson
- firstName: Tom
- countryKey: US
- currencyKey: USD
- cityPostalCode: 94010
- dateOfBirth: May 03, 1965
- languageKey: EN
- regionStateProvinceCounty: CA
- Under sapPiCopyreference, enter the following values:
- distributionChannel: 01
- division: 01
- salesOrganization: 0001
- referenceCustomer: 01
- Under sapPiPersonaldata, enter those values:
- Then click Invoke from Result.jsp to create a new customer number.
Figure 9. The Result.jsp display
As Figure 10 shows, similar log messages are displayed from the WebSphere Application Server console view.
Figure 10. WebSphere Application server console view log
This article showed how easy a J2C bean can be created with the J2C tools provided in Rational Application Developer V8.0. With just a few steps, you can build an application that can access the functions of the SAP backend system. That functionality can be quickly exposed to other applications and business processes through the generated web page.

War Is Not the Answer
We all come to crises from different perspectives. I come to the current Israeli conflict from a place in the north of Israel.
I grew up there on a kibbutz near the Lebanese border and later raised my children there.
Most of my life, my family and I lived with the sounds of the bombs, first from Syria, and then from Lebanon, as Israel reacted to keep peace in the presence of unstable Palestinian factions that had moved there after being ejected from Jordan.
My husband almost lost his life in the first cycle of war in Lebanon. Eighteen years later, my son entered a commando unit and lost many of his friends. He was almost killed as well.
And the bombs continued to fall. It seemed like a frozen situation. Someone had to stand up. As our tradition teaches us: "Where a [wo]man is needed, endeavor that thou be the one" (Avot 2:6).
One day in 1997, I was one. I began reaching out to friends, colleagues, whoever was willing to listen. We formed the "Four Mothers" movement and lobbied the Israeli government to stop the war with Lebanon.
The New York Times had this to say about us in 2000, shortly after the Israeli army pulled its troops out, ending more than 20 years of armed conflict: "Today many Israelis celebrated with the Four Mothers. The women took a classic Israeli stereotype -- the silent, suffering soldier's mother -- stood it on its head and dared to challenge the military."
I am currently teaching religious studies at a university in Columbus, Ohio, taking a much-needed break from politics and wars. A few days ago, I returned from a visit to Israel, meeting with colleagues at Hebrew University about a research project. While there, I was amazed to find that even though six years have passed since our movement did its work, people still acknowledge our achievement.
They were thankful for the quiet life they finally have enjoyed in the North. Many urged me to return and enjoy the life of peace there as well. Then, overnight, the situation changed. The northern part of Israel returned to the same horrible state of war we had suffered through before. An attack on our army and kidnapping of our soldiers hurt our pride and confidence.
The most natural reaction when we are being hit so badly is to hit back. But how hard? How do we make sure we do not return to another 20 years of war in the North?
The new Israeli minister of defense, Amir Peretz, keeps saying, "I want to tell every mother and father in Israel that we are not going back to the Lebanese mud."
But have we dug ourselves into an old hole?
Is it realistic to ask the Lebanese government to take responsibility for Hezbollah, after Israel fought in Lebanon for more than 20 years and didn't eliminate this terrorist organization? How do we stop Hezbollah now, knowing that Syria and Iran are arming them?
No one, including the Israeli government, wants to enter into a war with Syria and Iran.
Recent history has taught us that our actions aimed at eliminating terrorism "once and for all" usually produce a lot of destruction, but don't achieve the goal. The question now becomes: How are we going to lead this time and not be led?
On my trip I saw how Israel is bustling -- filled with tourists from around the world. Aren't we playing into the hands of the few terrorists? Aren't we letting them bring Israel to a standstill?
A strong state that has a strong army like Israel's surely has the means to come up with a solution that is better than merely hitting back harder. I am sure the Israeli army knows how to keep our borders and soldiers safe, so that small groups of terrorists will be unable to cross and kidnap soldiers.
My life experience has taught me that wars haven't simplified situations or solved problems. On the contrary, fighting makes situations more complicated and destructive.
I have been glued to the Israeli media. People keep calling into radio stations asking what to do next. They are overwhelmed. They don't know how to stop their lives and lock themselves in shelters any more. Some of them don't have functioning shelters and they are totally confused.
Unlike in the movies, war is not so heroic. I have lived through too many, and they are nothing more than death, destruction, fear and total chaos. We must not return to wartime in Israel. We can bring Israel back to its best version of peacetime, although I know we will continue to be part of an ongoing conflict.
In Jewish history, we have experienced war and destruction too many times. As a Talmudist, I am inspired by the thousands of pages written over hundreds of years by people who lived through the consequences of the Second Temple destruction, namely 2,000 years with no Israel.
On Tisha B'Av we will read again the texts the sages developed after the destruction. They teach us how to try to engage in dialogue, even with your worst enemy.
As they say: "Who is the greatest of heroes? He who converts his enemy into his friend" (Avot d'Rabbi Nathan 23).
Is it still possible? Just a thought.

Trustees Approve Investment Strategy for COM's Unfunded Liability
$2.1 million will be deposited into an irrevocable trust
Kentfield, CA— June 25, 2013 — On June 18, 2013, at its regular monthly meeting, the College of Marin Board of Trustees approved a comprehensive investment strategy that will address the college's unfunded liability for employee health benefits. Approximately $2.1 million of funds designated for the Other Post Employer's Retiree Benefit Trust (OPEB) will be deposited into the California Employer's Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) the last week of June to start prefunding the college's OPEB Trust.
The approval of the investment strategy is the last step in a process that began several years ago to fund the college's outstanding retiree health benefits liability. The college began putting money in a designated fund in fiscal year 2005-06 and added to it in good financial years.
"The District's Board of Trustees has been steadfast in its commitment to address the liability by setting aside significant funds over several years," said College of Marin Superintendent President Dr. David Wain Coon. "The good news is that with this new investment strategy the college could begin funding retiree benefits entirely from the trust beginning with the 2018-19 fiscal year."
The newly approved investment strategy will allow the college to pay down its $5.1 million unfunded liability over the next five years using a combination of returns on the OPEB trust and an estimated total of $4,632,161 in payments from its general fund as follows: $892,850 in FY 2012-13, $869,363 in FY 2013-14, $787,384 in FY 2014-15, $754,933 in FY 2015-16, $716,154 in FY 2016-17, and a final payment of $610,477 in FY 2017-18 at which time the actuarial consultant, using a seven percent growth rate, projects that the trust will have grown from $2.1 million to over $2.9 million thereby fully funding the remaining liability.
According to the most recent actuarial study by the firm Total Compensation Systems, Inc. (TCS), as of June 2013 the college's unfunded liability is the lowest that it has been having decreased from $5.6 million in September 2012 to $5.1 million today. In addition, more employees are coming off of the plan as they reach the age of 70 will result in annual payout reductions.
The process to develop a viable investment strategy to address the college's unfunded liability was initiated in August 2012, when nine firms were invited to submit proposals to assist the college with trust administration, trustee services, and investment management. Three firms: California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), Community College League of California Joint Powers Agency (CCLCJPA), and Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) submitted proposals.
The California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) was selected by college Trustees at their November 13, 2012, monthly meeting to manage and invest the college's OPEB trust. CalPERS is a state agency and does not retain profit from trust operations; it charges a single fee rate that covers all administrative and investment services relating to CERBT. The decision to select CalPERS was based on several key factors, including low single fee rate and investment performance. Operating in a volatile market, the average annual CERBT investment return rate has been 10% for the three year period ending September 30, 2012.
The Agreement and Election of Marin Community College District to prefund OPEB through CalPERS and the Delegation of Authority to Request Disbursements from the Other Post Employment Prefunding Plan were passed by the Board of Trustees on January 15, 2013. As part of the process to integrate into CalPERS' CERBT, an update of the District's Actuarial Study of Retiree Health Liabilities through June 2013 was completed by TCS in April 2013.
Trustees voted on June 18, 2013, to approve an investment strategy OPEB Trust in CalPERS CERBT by a vote of 5-1-1. Trustee Conti voted No and Trustee O'Brien was absent.
A copy of the California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust Presentation to the Marin Community College District Board on June 18, 2013, is available online.

Crude Oil Rested Today
Rod David
A big drop in crude oil this week was absorbed and retraced. But the recovery can tolerate only a brief pause.
The following are the latest daily summaries of my ongoing intraday coverage, providing context to interpret price action. Any prices listed are for a contract's current "front month." Their direction tends to correlate with any ETFs listed for each.
Today's Highlight:
What FOMC giveth, the hangover taketh away... as was the case this week with crude oil. Its two-day $4 rally revisited the last bounce's target, all but requiring a new rally leg. But buyers were tired and in need of a rest.
Dollar Basket
Dec Contract DX; (NYSEARCA:UUP), (NYSEARCA:UDN)
Fresh lows overnight down to 80.15 were not tested intraday, which bounced to 80.55. Retesting the overnight low before extending any higher would be likely to form a bottom. Otherwise, extending any higher would target 81.00.
Dec Contract EC; (NYSEARCA:FXE)
Fresh highs overnight essentially tested the next higher resistance at 1.3580. A pullback has room down to 1.3485 before starting to signal a more substantial drop underway targeting 1.3333.
Dec Contract GC; (NYSEARCA:GLD)
The 1363.00 target had been met soon after the 1341.00 target, further pressuring the rally's momentum. The next higher resistance at 1377.00-1381.00 is likely to hold if tested prior to at least a modest corrective pullback, preferably a pullback all the way back down to 1341.00.
Dec Contract SI; (NYSEARCA:SLV)
Wednesday's recovery extended higher after the FOMC news, attacking the 23.55 resistance. Its test is likely so long as 23.00 holds as support.
30-year Treasury
Dec Contract US; (NYSEARCA:TLT)
Probing above 132-00 created room for a pullback down to 131-10 while keeping alive potential that a bottom has been forming. The pullback's test must resolve up into the weekend, or else breaking back under 131-02 would signal a new downleg underway.
Crude Oil
Oct Contract CL; (NYSEARCA:USO)
The recovery extended higher Wednesday's night to probe above 108.75 resistance. Although its test reacted down to test 106.75 intraday Thursday, retesting 108.75 was probably more for chipping away at resistance than for refueling sellers.
Natural Gas
Oct Contract NG; (NYSEARCA:UNG), (NYSEARCA:UNL)
Fresh high up to 3.82 on the EIA report were reversed down sharply intraday to 3.68. Wednesday's low held, but not by enough for confidence in resuming the rally. Any lower low would reverse momentum down.

In July of 2008, ABC Family launched "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" to a fair amount of brouhaha. The show launched with a pregnant teen trying to make her way in the world and encountering a set of teenage difficulties outside of the normal ones due to said pregnancy. With a supportive family and good friends, Amy has grown and changed through the years as have those around her. Relationships have formed and ended and people have come and gone. We greatly look forward to seeing how the show ends tonight for this is the last episode we will get.

In 1979, Polar invented the first wireless heart rate monitor for the Finnish Nordic Ski Team. As intensity training has increased in popularity, so has the use and availability of this equipment, which can eliminate a large margin of error with counting pulse.
Heart rate monitors are usually fastened around the chest to send a wireless signal to a watch-like wrist band. The Maximum Heart Rate formula is generally used to set the training or exercise zones according to your fitness goals. The monitor then signals you to increase your intensity or decrease it according to the goal you have established.
If strapping a band around your chest does not appeal to you, newer models of heart rate monitors are "strapless" and measure your heart rate through your wrist pulse.
Similar technology has been an added feature of cardio-respiratory equipment, such as treadmills, for years. Pulse rate is counted by a finger-worn monitor which sends a signal directly into the display which you set according to your personal specifics and goals.
There is still room for error using this technology, unless an electrocardiogram exam is performed to determine a true resting heart rate and it is applied to the Karvonen formula to determine target heart-rate.
But Heart Rate Monitors provide immediate, consistent, and fairly accurate information on how hard you are working at any given time during your exercise session, and many allow you to track your overall fitness gains over time.
If you are new to exercise and need some assistance with determining your optimal training levels, a heart rate monitor is the best way to learn what your aerobic training zone should feel like.
Increasingly, doctors are encouraging their patients who have had heart related illness, or other medical histories, to measure their exercise intensity with heart rate monitors, to ensure that they are working appropriate to their health needs.
Many serious athletes are already sold on the benefit of using heart rate monitors. Runners have worn them for years in marathon and race preparation, to periodize their training, apply intervals, and to avoid overtraining.
Group cycling enthusiasts wear them regularly to ensure that they are hitting at or beyond their anaerobic threshold in their intensity efforts – part of the interval training aspect of cycling classes.
Long term exercisers who cease to make gains in fitness, or find themselves simply bored with their routine, may find using a heart rate monitor will give them a needed reality check and incentive to push just a little harder. The body adapts to any training stimulus and, over time, can result in reaching what is known as a fitness plateau.
Heart Rate Monitors can assist you with setting and achieving new goals and motivate you to new fitness heights.
Update – since this article was first written, the chest strap, while still available, has become less common and the wrist monitor only has become increasingly popular. Additionally, many new features – such as calorie counters and the ability to log acheivements online or thru apps – have made monitors increasingly valuable to help keep exercisers accountable and on track to reach their fitness goals.

I rate this product very highly because it effectively lowers blood pressure. I had a sudden spike in my blood pressure, and it was out of control for two months. My doctors had me on the highest dosage of three medications. Two months ago, after I began taking Coleus Forskolli, in combination with Turmeric, my medication has been reduced to only one low-dose medication. I use Paradise Herbs because it is all natural and I trust the product.
I initially purchased this for my mom for uncontrolled glaucoma. After taking it for 2 weeks, her eye pressure was the lowest in at least 2 years. Her eye doctor encouraged her to keep taking it. Then my mom went to a kidney specialist for another ongoing problem with test results. The kidney specialist told her to stop all supplements. The only supplements that she was taking was Omega 3 and forskolii. So now her eye pressure has increased again and she continues to have the ongoing problem with kidney test results. The lesson here is to start taking this as a preventative before you are under the care of several doctors for chronic problems. So now I am taking the other 2 bottles of this supplement as a preventative and to help lose a few pounds of extra weight. I have no side effects and I have lost 3 lbs in about 10 days.

Blood pressure
Posted by Reviewer2441465 on Jan 09, 2015
For all of my life my blood pressure has been perfect, but recently after some health issues it popped up, and would fluctuate a great deal. I started taking this a few months back initially because it is suppose to help fight off cancer cells. Well the good news is that at this point my cancer is still in remission, and my blood pressure has stabilized. I was impressed with the results!!
Posted by 4759804624055541491 on Dec 02, 2014
i bought this product from an organic store and in 3 days i lost a pound. but then when i learned iherb.com sells them on a much lower price ($10.00 difference), i went ahead and ordered 2 bottles online. when the shipment arrived, one of the bottles looked like the contents were replaced and the second bottle had a slightly less dark brown colored capsules. I still tried taking them, to my frustration, i have not lost a pound. I do not know if iherb.com is a reliable source and guarantees that they have the same products sold in the market. Next time, i may just buy at the place where i got my first bottle, a bit more expensive but at least i know it's authentic.

rid of other gearMany of us grow tired or grow out of clothes that
still have plenty of wear in them. Instead of throwing them into the trash or
the rag pile, consider these options:
Throw a clothes-swap, or a used-clothing party. Bring
your castoffs and ask your friends to do the same. Everyone piles the clothes
together and then people pick the clothes they'd like. Anything left over can
be donated to charity.
Charities such as Goodwill and the Salvation
Army accept clothing donations. They also take other household goods, provided
they are still in working order. Items they gratefully take include air conditioners,
mattresses, coffee pots, blenders and stereos. As with computers, donated household
appliances must be in working order.
Nonprofits often sell
used goods including clothes, books and appliances to raise funds. Some even can
find a use for your goods. For example, a shelter for women of domestic violence
may need cell phones or work clothes for their patrons. Your best best is to call
local charities to ascertain their needs.
If you need cash,
consider selling your castoffs, particularly clothes. When selling clothes, keep
in mind the seasons. Shops are less interested in summer clothes in the fall.
They want winter clothes in good repair. Check your local Yellow Pages for stores
that sell used clothes.
Generally you'll either sell your
clothes outright for cash or stores will accept clothes on a consignment basis.
That is, they will sell your clothes for you. If the clothes sell, the store takes
a commission and you get a check. A general rule of thumb is you'll make more
on consignment, but that requires more work on your part. You'll need to check
back periodically with the store to see if your goods have sold and figure out
how to price your used khakis or other apparel. It's less of a hassle to sell
your clothes outright to a store, but it will pay you less than a consignment
The same rules hold true for selling used household
appliances. Those in good working order sell for more than items that are just
being sold for parts. Look in your local Yellow Pages for shops that buy used
furniture, appliances or other items. Keep in mind that newer items or antiques
sell better than just plain olditems.
retool, reuse Much of recycling is simply a matter of taking time to
rethink how things can be reused. For example, you can turn empty jars into containers
for leftover food. Or, use the jars as candleholders. Reuse boxes for wrapping
presents or to store items.
Books can be donated to charities
for book sales. Libraries often have used book stores to raise extra cash. You
can also sell used books that are in good condition to local used bookstores.
Magazines can be donated to gyms, doctor's offices, schools (for use in art projects)
and even libraries.
One person's junk is another's prized
possession. So instead of throwing away your obsolete items, do some good and
maybe even raise some cash, by donating or selling the stuff you no longer need.

The Lehigh Valley IronPigs' roster still has a number of question marks that need to be answered this spring. The infield, though, appears to be one of the easier groups to predict with most of the projected starters already on the roster.
The Philadelphia Phillies could choose to make some surprising decisions. They added three veterans to minor league contracts as Spring Training invitees (Ronny Cedeno, Andres Blanco and Reid Brignac) and top prospect Maikel Franco could be primed for a promotion to Lehigh Valley or even Philadelphia.
With all of that in mind, we took a shot trying to guess what the IronPigs' starting infield might look like for the season opener on April 3 against the Pawtucket Red Sox.
First Base: Cody Overbeck
Perhaps the safest bet in the infield is Overbeck, who played 122 games for the IronPigs in 2013 and has been a mainstay with the team since his promotion in 2011.
His penchant for striking out will always keep him from becoming the top prospect he could have been, but his power more than makes up for it. He hit 19 home runs last season while driving in 65 runs for the IronPigs.
At 27 years old, Overbeck stock is likely falling, but he's talented enough to stick at the Triple-A level. And with three seasons under his belt at Lehigh Valley, he's carved himself a comfortable niche as one of the more popular players on the team.
Second Base: Jim Negrych
The Phillies signed Negrych after a season in the Toronto Blue Jays' system with the Buffalo Bisons. The small-statured infielder (just 5-foot-9) earned a Triple-A All-Star selection last season due to some great hitting—as he is well known for.
At this stage in his career, it's evident scouts see something in him that makes them believe his success would not translate at the Major League level. He has spent eight seasons in the Minors with five different organizations now. He will be 29 years old on opening day and not getting any younger.
He's a superb Triple-A player, however, and will provide the IronPigs with a major boost offensively. His defense is not a liability, but it's not noteworthy either.
In three seasons at the Triple-A level, Negrych has hit .280/.362/.393 in 954 PA. He will not hit for power—he hit a career-high eight home runs in 2012 with the Syracuse Chiefs—but will get on base.
Shortstop: Reid Brignac
Brignac is one of many non-roster Spring Training invites for the Phillies, and judging by the competition at shortstop, he'll likely be the odd man out. The 28-year-old has struggled to stick on a Major League roster, bouncing from team to team (the Phillies are his fourth in two years).
Once a starter for the Tampa Bay Rays, his bat has become an unbelievable liability that he simply can't remain at the big-league level. However, his experience and defensive prowess make him an ideal fit to start at short for the IronPigs.
What's more advantageous to Lehigh Valley is his ability to play at multiple positions, which will give the IronPigs room to play with their lineups some days.
Third Base: Tyler Henson
Ideally, Maikel Franco would be the IronPigs' third baseman this season and, more than likely, that will be the case by the time the All-Star break rolls around. Phillies director of player development Joe Jordan told beat writer Ryan Lawrence they would prefer Franco get some more time at Double-A Reading before his promotion to Lehigh Valley and that's likely what will happen.
Thus, for the time being, the third base job should belong to Tyler Henson, who came on strong for the IronPigs to close out the 2013 season. In 31 games, the 26-year-old infielder hit .316/.376/.526 with four home runs and 14 runs batted in.
Utility: Matt Tolbert
The 31-year-old infielder hit .327/.374/.367 in the Phillies' Minor League system last year, spending time at four different levels (just four games at Lehigh Valley). He hasn't appeared in the Majors since 2011, when he was still a member of the Minnesota Twins organization.
Tolbert should compete with Negrych for the starting second baseman job. His ability to play all positions in the infield should promise his place on the roster over other potential competition such as free-agent signings Ronny Cedeno and Andres Blanco.

Business Allows You To Try On The Outfit, Makeup You Want To Wear In Your Coffin
Be honest, how do I look? "Dead."
Because you only get one chance to make a last impression, a company in Japan allows people who are still alive to try on the outfit and makeup they want to be wear during their open-casket funeral (plus choose a custom coffin). Me? I don't want an open casket funeral. I want that casket nailed and chained shut so I can't rise from the dead before I'm in the ground. Oh -- and six feet under isn't nearly deep enough for me. I should be buried at LEAST 24-feet under to prevent an escape (and preferably beneath concrete). Plus my head should be buried separately from my body (or thrown into a volcano).
Thanks to xer, who wants to be buried in a vat of shrimp cocktail. I've thought about that too!

What have to do.
To resolve this issue i got this solution form link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/890015
As: You must use the Netstat.exe utility at the command line to see if another process is using port 80 or port 443.
But how to ensure that is these Ip are in use or not ? in terms of status ? What should its status ?
Second solution is : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters\ListenOnlyList. But this key is not found .
