In ancient times, people walked barefoot. Throughout the years civilization brought modern advances.
Sharon Whiteley, Founder and CEO of LISTEN Brands, LLC, believes, "There are healthy benefits of walking barefoot. We don't have that direct connection to the earth any more. Our bodies are electron deficient.
Science proves the physiological benefits of getting that connection restored."
SZ: "What are the benefits of being grounded?"
Sharon, "Most of us think of the word being grounded as being balanced and getting centered and this is physiologically what happens.
I attended a conference and the subject switched to grounding aka earthing. The basic message, earth is an electrical field that has natural energy in the form of electrons and our bodies are electrical systems as well.
The very best thing that someone can do is walk barefoot on the grass or beach for 20-30 minutes but 95% of us cannot do it.
We decided to create a product that people could use in their daily lives to get them more connected to earth and benefit from this natural energy."
SZ: "You can walk barefoot in shoes?"
Sharon: "When you walk in Pluggz Shoes, the energy comes from the ground up. You walk directly on the ground, which is grass, sand, dirt, gravel, tile and brick, city sidewalks or concrete (concrete is water and sand). You are getting connected to the earth. That is like going barefoot without being barefoot.
SZ: "Pluggz Shoes look similar to all other shoes except for the 1-¼" black circle inside the shoes and on the soles."
Sharon: "Pluggz is a custom formulated carbon and rubber block plug. If the shoe just had a rubber sole without the carbon mixture it would not be conductive. The carbon and rubber mixture makes it conductive."
SZ: "We can just plug ourselves in like plugging a lamp into an electrical outlet.
Sharon: "The plug on the outside penetrates through the hole in the shoe. The piece of it on the bottom is what is hitting the ground.
What makes our shoes conduct to the earth is the design of the shoes at the metatarsal area, the insole of the shoe, inside the foot pad, called the K-1 point. The ball of the foot is the most sensitive part of the foot for nerve endings to be able to get the earth's energy into your body. It happens to be an acupressure point.
Pluggz are bio-mechanically engineered for true comfort. We have the trampoline heal, you don't jump on it. The shoe is designed in a way that keeps the heal balanced and the person's feet stable.
These shoes have insoles that are made of a wicking anti-microbial lining. Wicking means that there is some ability to absorb moisture so the feet don't get sticky as feet perspire even in the winter.
For information about the concept of grounding or about Pluggz Shoes, call (800)-771.8314. www.pluggz.com

Minutewomen Edge Past UNH, 9-8
March 14, 2003
DURHAM, N.H.--The University of Massachusetts women's lacrosse team tallied eight goals in the first half to hold on and defeat New Hampshire, 9-8, at Memorial Field in Durham, N.H., on Friday. The victory improves UMass to 3-1 on the season and drops the Wildcats to 0-4.
The two teams were tied at 2-2 through the first 15:06 of play after Jada Emery (Princeton, N.J.) tallied the first of her three goals at the 5:22 mark and Kerri Connerty (Nashua, N.H) recorded a goal at 6:24. Emery broke the tie with a goal at the 15:06 mark and scored the first of six consecutive goals by the Minutewomen, giving them an 8-2 lead. The scoring stretch was led by Emery and Lydia Robinson (Summit, N.J.), who each tallied two goals during the scoring run. UNH tallied its third goal of the half when it found the back of the net with just three seconds remaining in the period, making the score 8-3 at intermission.
The Wildcats came out firing in the second half, out-scoring the Minutewomen 5-1 in the second 30 minutes of play. The New Hampshire comeback was led by Jessie Groszkowski, who recorded four goals on the night, three in the second half. The Wildcats fought back to get within two of Massachusetts, 8-6, before Maura McGarrity (Chester Springs, Pa.) interrupted the four straight UNH goals with one of her own, giving the Minute women a 9-6 advantage. Groszkowski tallied two more goals before the end of the game, but the Wildcats were unable to overcome Umass' lead, giving the Minutewomen a 9-8 victory.
Emery led the Minutewomen with three goals while Robison added two and Connerty, McGarrity, Leslie Pollock (Watervliet, N.Y.) and Hope Zelinger (Ellicott City, Md.) each added a single score.
In goal, Cyndi Doyle (Bridgewater, Vt.) recorded 10 saves and UNH's Danielle Martin tallied eight saves.
The Minutewomen will next travel to Dartmouth on Sunday for a 1:00 p.m. game.

ACTOR and comedian Bobby Knutt joined fundraisers to hand over a cheque for more than £1,000 following two years of effort by Elsecar members of the Buffs.
Members of the Major Jack Clarke Lodge of the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes meet at the Fitzwilliam Arms, Elsecar, and sold raffle tickets and organised other events to raise the £1,063 needed to help the West Bank House Association Luncheon Club, which needed a hostess trolley to help serve hot meals.
Members organised a social evening on Saturday and Bobby, who lives in Elsecar, agreed to attend for the presentation which was made to Mary Porter, from the Hoyland-based association.
Lodge secretary Ian Clarke said: "The lodge had heard the luncheon club was in need of assistance to purchase a hostess trolley to serve hot food, so all members rallied round in selling raffle tickets and other events to raise money."
Those involved in the fundraising work included Chris Hough, Bob Mason, Jonathan Edgar, Mike Hunt, Woz Crew, Adam Parkin, Steve Challoner, Michael Cobb, Tom Corns and Ian Clarke.
The lodge is also appealing for new members. The society is open to men aged 18 and over and supports charitable causes. They meet every Sunday at the pub, from 7pm. There is also an opportunity for women to set up a Ladies Glades section and the lodge would assist with that.

Don't run, Hillary, don't run: Amy Sullivan: "Jill Lawrence, one of USA Today's campaign correspondents in 2004, has observed that very few political reporters wrote about the way Kerry used religious language—even though, she noted, it occurred every week on the campaign trail—because they assumed that Democratic candidates weren't deeply religious. 'The stereotype of the Democratic Party is so deep that it never broke through,' she said. That's already happening with [Hillary] Clinton, whose religious references and comments on abortion generated headlines early in 2005. Most news outlets characterized her remarks as a distinct break from the past—implying that she was transforming herself for a White House run—even though she is a former Sunday School teacher who has spoken publicly about religion for decades."
"Taking It" the liberal way: Senator Rick Santorum, Republican of Pennsylvania, knows what gay sex is all about — "man-on-dog." Now he announces that he knows how liberals are "taking it," too — the "wrong way," of course. And that, says the Senate's sage of sexuality, explains the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic church (widely known for its liberal sexuality).
Oh, my. The story of Santorum's latest sex advice wouldn't merit Revealer comment were it not for the fact that it begs the question: Why does the press take this man so seriously? That's not a partisan question. After all, we asked the same of liberal God guru Jim Wallis, who, to be fair, never speculates on the favored sexual positions of those he disagrees with. The question is: How many dumb things does a powerful man have to stay before the press starts laughing? And the answer is: Mix in a little religion, liberal or cro-magnon, and the press will kiss your ring until it catches you with a prostitute. Or a dog.
Digital fetishistic Hasidic graffiti: Artist Elliott Malkin writes The Revealer to inform us of his construction of a semacode eruv. One of these two words is Hebrew, one is digital. Visit Elliott's site to find out which is which!
Pop goes the Times: Press critic Michael Massing turns his eye on The New York Times' pop culture coverage in the latest Columbia Journalism Review. Only, he's not very critical. Sure, the piece poses as a hard-hitting analysis of the Times' failure to take seriously the Volk's frustration with pop cult's luridness, but the sum of Massing's investigation — which includes lengthy ruminations from the Times' Frank Rich, the Orlando Sentinel's Mark Pinsky, and Kansan Tom Frank — falls short of the punch of any of these individual critiques. Massing's premise is fundamentally prudish. It's the opposite of Adorno: Massing seems to think that the masses are in possession of essential truths that, were they to be listened to, would remake culture coverage in a more family friendly fashion.
Here's another approach: What if the problem with the Times' culture coverage is that it doesn't include enough sex and violence? What if the Times decided that the best response to the concerns of religious conservatives was to take them seriously — by focusing more on the sex and violence of cultural production? Let's look at the eroticism of the Christian men's movement. The fetishization of violence in wholesome sports movies. Let's examine porn as culture, for better or worse. Instead of handwringing about Desperate Housewives, how about writing on the relationship of television to real-world sex lives?
Pinsky, author of a forthcoming memoir of his years as a Jewish religion reporter in evangelical Orlando, points us in the right direction. "I have no problem with my son watching [Deadwood]," he says, referring to the most brutal, foul-mouthed, and brilliant show on TV. "But I won't let him watch a dumb-ass sitcom."
Why? NYT, start with that question. "Quality" is not an adequate answer. Report culture.

The Huskies defeated Alabama State in their NCAA opener last Friday in straight sets, and then shook off a first set loss to win the next three to defeat LSU in the second round on Saturday. Against the Tigers, Krista Vansant had 24 kills on a .370 attack percentage, her second-most kills on the season.
Kansas reached the round of 16 with consecutive 3-1 victories at home last weekend over Wichita State and Creighton. The Jayhawks were second in the nine-team Big 12 this year with a 12-4 conference mark, and they are 25-7 overall. UW and Kansas have never met in volleyball. Senior setter Erin McNorton was a unanimous All-Big-12 selection.
Washington and USC are more than familiar with each other. The Huskies won in the Galen Center this season back in October, the first road win for UW at USC since 2008. Washington backed that up with a 3-1 win in Seattle that helped propel the Huskies to the Pac-12 title. USC rolled to sweeps of New Hampshire and Cal State Northridge in the first two rounds. The Trojans (28-5) led all teams with four All-Pac-12 selections, including Freshman of the Year Ebony Nwanebu and Libero of the Year Natalie Hagglund.
BYU and UW are in the same region for the second straight year, as both teams fell in the regional semis last year in Omaha, Nebraska. The Cougars (24-6) are unseeded but picked up one of the biggest upsets of the tourney so far, sweeping 11th-seeded Hawaii in front of more than 8,000 fans in Honolulu, one day after outlasting Arizona State in five sets in the first round. BYU and San Diego represent the West Coast Conference in the round of 16. In the regular season, BYU was 15-3 in league play, one game behind the Toreros for the conference crown.

Election Do's and Don't for Churches
Many pastors are unaware of just how involved they're allowed to be in political elections. Many pastors are under the false impression that their church will lose its charitable tax status if they mention elections or political parties from the pulpit. That is not the case whatsoever. To learn what you can and cannot say from the pulpit during election campaigns, download this file.
Election Guide handouts: no risk to tax-exempt status
The two-page Election Guide for Serious Christians respects Canada's laws regarding registered charities and political involvement. Therefore, it is totally safe to hand out in church, to read from the pulpit or use as a bulletin insert, without risk to your church's tax-exempt status. This piece is suitable for federal or provincial elections. It can be printed one or two-sided on your desktop printer, or at a copy shop. Contact us if you would like to order a supply of full-colour, glossy, printed Election Guides.
Pro-life Sermons & Homilies
Many pastors do not have time to do all the research related to abortion, embryonic stem cells, euthanasia, etc. Campaign Life Coalition makes it easy for you, whether Protestant or Catholic, to preach a powerful pro-life sermon in tune with the scripture readings for your Sunday service (or Mass).
For Catholic pro-life homilies, click here.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between teaching in an elementary school and teaching in a middle or high school?
What are the Foundational Level Math Credential and the Foundational Level General Science Credential?
Will an individual holding a Foundational Level Math or General Science Credential be considered "Highly Qualified" for the purpose of the federal No Child Left Behind Act?
Credential Requirements
What are the differences between blended, traditional and internship programs in terms of earning a teaching credential?

What is the TEACH California website?
TEACH California, California Department of Education's teacher recruitment website, is a very comprehensive and user friendly tool that highlights new web functions and credential changes impacting prospective teachers.
What is the difference between teaching in an elementary school and teaching in a middle or high school?
Elementary school teachers teach all subject areas and typically stay with the same students throughout the day. The California State Department of Education establishes the curriculum to be taught in the classroom which includes: Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Science and Visual and Performing Arts. Middle/High school teachers teach the subject they are authorized to teach and have specialized in. They will teach a different group of students in different periods of the day. For example, a high school English teacher has probably majored in English (though not always) and must be knowledgeable in composition, grammar, oral communication and literature and will teach only those subjects.
How can I get experience related to teaching while I am attending Pasadena City College?
PCC has internships, classes, and numerous referrals for tutoring and volunteer activities. The Polytechnic Internship is a paid internship and offers direct classroom experience in grades K – 8. Polytechnic's campus is minutes from the PCC campus and offers a select group of PCC students the opportunities to gain valuable experience of what happens in a classroom, the opportunity to assist in curriculum planning and outdoor recreation activities.
Where are the areas of greatest need for teachers?
Middle and high school science and mathematics teachers and Special Education teachers at all levels are areas of greatest need. A report from Critical Path Analysis of California's Science and Mathematics Teacher Preparation System projects that California will need more than 16,000 new math and science teachers within five years. At the current rate of teacher preparation, California will not meet this demand by a 30 percent shortage. In addition to the traditional option of a Single Subject Credential in either science or mathematics, refer to the section of Frequently Asked Questions which address two new options of a Foundational Level Math or Science Credential.
Are there any new credentials to address the shortage of Science and Mathematics teachers?
Yes. Due to the acute shortage of middle and high school math and science teachers, two new credentials have been approved by The Commission on Teacher Credentialing: 1) The Foundational Level Math Credential (FLM) and 2) The Foundational Level Science Credential (FLGS). Their addition promises to ease the current shortage.

However, teacher salaries are established by each school district and therefore you should contact a school district directly for more specific information about salary and benefits.
What if I already have a Bachelor's degree?
You should contact the four year university first to find out what you will need in order to apply to their teaching credential program. You can only complete a teaching credential at a 4 yr. university or college, not at a community college. Besides the tests that you will need to take before entering a credential program, you may need additional classes. You will be advised if you can take any necessary classes at the community college level.

What is the basic skills requirement and how do I meet the requirement?
The California Education Code requires that the prospective teacher planning to teach in public schools must meet the basic skills requirement in reading, writing and mathematics. The CBEST, California Basic Skills Educational Test, was designed to determine whether the future teacher has mastered these basic subjects. It does not determine how well a person is at teaching or communicating subjects to students. There are four ways to meet the basic skills requirement:
Website: http://www.ets.org/csu for additional information.
What is the CBEST test?
The CBEST, California Basic Skills Educational Test, tests for basic proficiency in reading, writing and mathematics.

Yes. As of January 29, 2009, the Commission on Teacher Credentialing approved six new add-on teaching authorizations, including one for teaching students with autism spectrum disorders. The new authorizations can be added to an existing special education credential (Education Specialist Credential) to expand the scope of instruction for current teachers.
What are the differences between blended, traditional and internship programs in terms of earning a teaching credential?
A blended or integrated program allows future teachers to take courses in which the subject matter is blended with professional preparation. This provides opportunities for multiple, extended field experiences during undergraduate studies. PCC has blended articulation pathways with several universities. (See "What are the transfer pathways available at Pasadena City College?" below) A student may simultaneously earn their Bachelor's Degree and Preliminary Teaching Credential.
Can I teach in California if I have a credential from another state?
Teachers who hold credentials from other states or other countries can have their transcripts evaluated by the International Research Foundation, Inc., (310) 258-9451. Based on the evaluation, these teachers may take tests like the CBEST (California Basic Educational Skills Test), and RICA (Reading Instruction Competence Assessment) or take university coursework to qualify for a California Teaching Credential. Generally, teachers from other states or countries do not need to take courses at PCC unless they are improving their English skills.
What is the CSET test?
The CSET, California Subject Examination for Teachers, was developed by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing as an examination option for proving subject matter competence.
Candidates seeking a Single Subject Credential to teach middle or high school must prove subject matter competence by either achieving a Bachelor's degree in the subject they intend to teach (with subject matter preparation included in the Bachelor's Degree) or if their Bachelor's is in a different subject area, they must pass the Single Subject CSET in the discipline they wish to teach. For example, a person with a Bachelor's in Mathematics (with subject matter competence) does not have to take a Single Subject Mathematics CSET.
How do I register to take the CSET?
Register and download practice tests at: www.cset.nesinc.com Also, for more practice tests check out: www.testprepreview.com/cset_practice.htm Website: www.cset.nesinc.com (800) 205-3334 24 hour automated service or (916) 928-4003 CSET Program Evaluation Systems Pearson P.O.

Asian are famous for their tea culture. Unlike Myanmar, Tibetan and Vietnam. Japan's tradition of drinking tea has been renewed all over the world. Tea ceremony involves preparing tea powder for guest and enjoying its rigid taste quietly and serenely. Influenced by Zen Buddhism, tea ceremony seeks to purify their mind.
The tea serving ceremony used to be exclusively practiced by nobles and priests who gave it is original form around the middle of the fourteenth century. In Japan its popularity gradually spread to wealthy merchants, warlords during the era of civil warfare ( in the 15 and 16 centuries) and their retainers.
The tea ceremony has been modified in many ways over the years. Until the end of the Edo period (1603-1868) it was practiced almost entirely by men; women joined in only after the beginning of the Meiji Era (1868-1912). There are many schools of tea ceremony, including the three Senke school of Ura, Omote and Mushannokoji.

After months of trying to complete a sale of its Hummer SUV brand to Chinese concern Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machines Co. Ltd., General Motors announced today that the sale will not be completed and the brand will be wound down.
It's unclear what exactly scuttled the sale, but considering that the deal was subject to approval from the Chinese government, it's likely that environmental concerns played a large role.

Standing in front of the Saturn V rocket at the NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, it's impossible not to be awed by the size . One hundred yards in length–the size of a football field. Close enough to reach out and touch it–the history of the Space Program is brought to life–and names like Lovell, Aldren, Grissom, and Armstrong come to mind. All those history makers and their feats displayed on the walls of the hangar that houses the rocket.
But on this particular Friday, the visitors marveled less at the wonders of space than the unexpected appearance of a sweater-clad bulldog named Blue.With an entourage that included his handler, Michael Kaltenmark, Michael's wife and infant son, Butler alum , a t-v crew (myself and a photographer) and our tour guide–a NASA flight surgeon–Butler Blue arrived at the Rocket Center at Johnson Space Center like a rock star–or better yet, an astronaut. And getting the star treatment every four-legged step of the way.
This was his first stop in Houston–but the latest in an exhausting schedule as what is arguably the most recognizeable mascot in the NCAA Men's Tourney.
The Butler Men's basketball story–becoming the first Indiana team to earn back to back appearances in the Final Four–is one of movie lore. Last year's last second heartbreaking loss to Duke emblazoned the Butler brand in the minds of basketball fans. This year's surprising appearance as one of the four teams remaining sealed their place as a force to be reckoned with. And the popularity of Butler–as the team people can't help but root for–is largely due to the dog who can move a basketball and hearts with the swipe of a paw.
So perhaps it isn't surprising that heads turned from the massive rocket–to the stout, but loveable pooch. A man with a UCONN shirt asked if he could get a photo with Blue. "I love Bulldogs", he said. Then, "not Butler Bulldogs" but the breed. However, he also admittedd he wanted to buy a Butler banner–because he wanted a picture of a Bulldog.
A Texan said he enjoyed following Blue 2 on twitter (@ButlerBlue2) .
And on the way out–a gentleman in a University of West Virginia shirt stopped to give Blue a pat on the head –all the while raving about the Butler program, the players, its coach. Then he paused for a photo op with the famous bulldog. Turns out he was the president of the university.
The flight surgeon, Dr Richard Scheuring, says he's worked with the top astronauts. And he's "seen a lot of things". But he's never seen anything like the popularity of this stocky school mascot..
Lovell, Armstrong, Aldren, …and Blue 2?
Let's face it. As cute as he is, he's no rocket scientist.
But Blue 2's charm and popularity has launched him among the stars of college basketball …and beyond.

It's no great secret: Jack White is an oddball. The former front man for the White Stripes has a polarizing personality, makes no qualms about badmouthing fellow musicians, dresses like a mortician from another planet and bounces across music genres on a whim, creating bands and side bands as if he can't keep still in one for long.
We've really come to expect anything and everything from Jack White on stage. A cover of Lorde, however, probably wasn't one of them. Okay, a cover of the Black Keys is probably the least likely thing for White to do at this point – but a Lorde cover is pretty out there, too.
At a show in Milwaukee earlier this week, Jack White covered Lorde's breakout single "Royals" to a packed crowd. The original is a minimalistic electronic pop anthem railing against the decadence of the rich and famous in the music industry. It highlights Lorde's understated vocals, which occasionally raise up for the chorus.
Unfortunately, the attendees at the Milwaukee set may soon be the only ones who can recall what White's take on "Royals" actually sounded like. What little footage of the performance had been available to watch via a concert goer's Instagram page, but has since been taken down.
According to a report from Radio.com, we are lucky to have even that for a brief moment. Jack White has a no nonsense 'no video recording' policy at all of his live shows. The person who managed to smuggle out a clip of his pop tune croonings and put it online, even for a little while, is a rarity among White fans.
"Royals" isn't the only cover that White has busted out during his recent live sets. He has been covering songs by artists such as Kanye West, Jay Z and Metallica.

Peanut Balls
Banner Health is promoting the innovative use of "peanut balls'' to help our mothers in labor have easier and faster deliveries.
Peanut balls are peanut-shaped vinyl exercise balls that help relax and open the pelvis of maternity patients who have received epidural anesthesia.
By using peanut balls, a mother-to-be may have a shorter first and second stage labor and a lower chance of getting a C-section, according to research conducted at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix.
The use of peanut balls was pioneered at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix, formerly Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center, and has been rolled out to other Banner facilities. The trial included 200 pregnant women who were carrying a term baby and who had an epidural.
Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix maternity staff investigated the use of peanut balls because research shows that while epidurals may reduce pain, they prolong labor by an average of 40 to 90 minutes and increase the risk of lengthening second stage labor (pushing) to more than two hours. In addition, epidurals are associated with higher numbers of births by cesarean section and more instrument-assisted vaginal deliveries, including the use of a vacuum or forceps.
Research also shows that varying a mother's position and separating her legs during labor widens pelvic diameter. Doing so helps ease fetal rotation and/or descent while reducing some of the pain of prolonged labor.
Women with peanut balls placed between their legs experienced increased pelvic diameter and, in turn, had more room for the fetus to descend.

This is not about the Dolphins, but rather the Hurricanes:
Some years ago, the Hurricanes joined the Big East, in the hopes that their basketball team would improve because of the competition. In return, the other school's football teams would get better. Never happened. Miami's hoops team was not allowed to compete in the Big East, so they never improved. But, the football teams all get better because of the competition, and Miami's got weaker to a degree.
Then, Miami joined the ACC, and the basketball team did get better. Better than the football team. The hoops squad is 7-0 at the moment. The football team finished a disappointing 5-7.

The Africa Region covers 37 sub-Saharan countries and a population of over 800 million through 11,400 service points. Extreme poverty severely restricts access to sexual and reproductive health services, and restricted access to sexual and reproductive health services exacerbates the impact of poverty. Africa Region IPPF members, volunteers and health professionals work tirelessly on a whole range of initiatives across the territory.
Sexual and reproductive health services delivered in the Africa Region in 2011:
- 15.9 million contraceptive service provided
- 40.9 million condoms distributed
- Nearly 13 million sexual and reproductive health services provided to young people
- 5.2 million HIV-related services provided
- 49% of Member Associations provide information and education on unsafe abortion, the legal status of abortion and availability of services
In addition to service delivery, here are a few recent advocacy achievements:
- As a result of the Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria's advocacy and technical advice, government clinics in 4 states now provide free antenatal care
- Family Health Options Kenya has expanded comprehensive care for people living with HIV to reach the most vulnerable, those living in urban slums
- UMATI, the Tanzanian Member Association, convened a civil society coalition and lead a successful advocacy campaign: the government allocated an additional $2.2 million of funding for contraceptive supplies this year
- The Family Guidance Association of Ethopia is training 14,000 government health extension workers to deliver long-acting contraceptives (impants)
- The Namibia Planned Parenthood Association has helped to develop the government's national policy on reproductive health

Entrenched cable companies Comcast (CMCSA) and Time Warner Cable (TWC) are having a pretty good year, with both stocks posting market-beating returns thus far in 2013.
Bigger-picture, however, these companies are in big trouble. Cable TV continues to decline while tech giants like Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) and others continue to disrupt the industry.
The numbers tell a pretty disappointing story when it comes to cable TV. Consider that in its last quarterly earnings report, Comcast lost 60,000 cable customers, and since 2008 its video customers have fallen every year from 24.2 million to 22 million in the same period — a 9% decline in five years.
That's partially thanks to the rise of streaming video services; Netflix (NFLX) now has about 30 million subscribers to top HBO, and Amazon (AMZN) is making big inroads with its Prime on-demand streaming service.
But it also has to do with the fact that cable TV is a bit of an anachronism. The idea of a cable coming out of a wall into a single-use device seems pretty quaint considering the variety of content-streaming options in the digital age. Virtual monopolies in many cable TV markets are keeping prices steep, and package "deals" force consumers into buying dozens of channels they don't watch, so it's no surprise the "cord cutting" revolution is gaining momentum.
It's going to be a long, slow bleed before these trends eat away at the cable empire of Time Warner Cable and Comcast, however. Execs at the companies are concerned, yes, but hardly panicking. TWC has $3.5 billion in cash and short-term investments and an operating cash flow close to $1.7 billion a year — hardly a corporation at risk.
But disruption is on the way with tech leaders like Apple and Google leading the charge.
Chipmaker Intel (INTC) is forging ahead with "Internet cable" plans, developing a set-top box for release this year that streams content to your TV. Microsoft (MSFT) and Sony (SNE) are rumored to be exploring similar hardware. And on the content side, Google is currently trying to license TV channels for an Internet cable service, according to insiders. Apple also is rumored to be toying with the space.
These plans would create a pretty powerful alternative to the current cable television options most people have — and accelerate the death of cable TV as we know it.
Of course, any Internet TV plans need support from the channel owners, and that is no easy task. Support for the new model has been, at best, lukewarm.
However, there is a rush to figure out how consumers are going to consumer video content in the future, and you can be sure that Google, Apple and other tech giants are going to get there eventually.
Comcast and Time Warner, on the other hand? Probably not.

This is part of a homework assignment for a real analysis course taught out of "Baby Rudin." Just looking for a push in the right direction, not a full-blown solution. We are to suppose that $f(x)f(y)=f(x+y)$ for all real x and y, and that f is continuous and not zero. The first part of this question let me assume differentiability as well, and I was able to compose it with the natural log and take the derivative to prove that $f(x)=e^{cx}$ where c is a real constant. I'm having a little more trouble only assuming continuity; I'm currently trying to prove that f is differentiable at zero, and hence all real numbers. Is this an approach worth taking?

How do I prove that $f(x)f(y)=f(x+y)$ implies that $f(x)=e^{cx}$, assuming f is continuous and not zero?
First note that $f(x) > 0$, for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$. This can be seen from the fact that $$f(x) = f\left(\dfrac{x}2 + \dfrac{x}2\right) = f \left(\dfrac{x}2\right)^2$$ Further, you can eliminate the case $f(x) = 0$, since this would mean $f \equiv 0$.
One way to go about is as follows.
$1$. Prove that $f(m) = f(1)^m$ for $m \in \mathbb{Z}^+$.
$2$. Now prove that $f(m) = f(1)^m$ for $m \in \mathbb{Z}$.
$3$. Now prove that $f(p/q) = f(1)^{p/q}$ for $p \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $q \in \mathbb{Z} \backslash \{0\}$.
$4$. Now make use of the fact that rationals are dense in $\mathbb{R}$ and hence you can find a sequence of rationals $r_n \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $r_n \to r \in \mathbb{R} \backslash \mathbb{Q}$. Now use continuity to conclude that $f(x) = f(1)^x$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$. You will see that you need only continuity at one point to conclude that $f(x) = f(1)^x$.
Since $f(t)=f(t+0)=f(t)f(0)$ we can conclude that $f(0)=1$. If there exists a real number $β$ such that $f(β)=0$, then for any real number $x$ we have
which implies that $f$ is identically zero. By the continuity of $f$ we can conclude that $f(x)>0$ for all real numbers.
For a positive integer $n$, $f(n)=f(1+1+...+1)=f(1)f(1)*...*f(1)=f(1)^n$.
Since $f(-1)=f(1+(-2))=f(1)f(-2)=f(1)f(-1)f(-1)$,
it follows that $f(-1)=f(1)^{-1}$.
For a negative integer $m$, $f(m)=f(-1+(-1)+...+(-1))=f(-1)^{-m}=(f(1)^{-1})^{-m}=f(1)^m$.
Since $f(0)=1=f(1)^0$, $f(n)=f(1)^n$ holds for all integers.
Let $q$ and $m$ be positive integers, then $f(m)=f(1/q+1/q+...+1/q)=f(1/q)^{qm}=f(1)^m$.
It follows that $f(1/q)=f(1)^{1/q}$. This will also hold for negative integers $q_1$ and $m_1$ as well.
Then, $f(s/t)=f(1/t+...+1/t)=f(1/t)^s=(f(1)^{1/t})^s=f(1)^{s/t}$, for any rational number.
Since the rationals are dense in the reals and $f$ is continuous, for any real number $x$ we can find a sequence $(r_n)$ that will converge to $x$ with $f(r_n)=f(1)^{r_n}$, so that $f(x)=f(1)^x$ for all real numbers.
Since $f(1)>0$ and is real-valued, $\log(f(1))=c$ exists. Then:
Thanks again!

Arizona vs. San Francisco Final Box Score
TUCSON--The Arizona women's soccer team concluded their non-conference schedule Sunday with a 2-1 win over the University of San Francisco at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium.
The first half of play went scoreless, but then in the second half, seniors Macke Mutz and Alex Davis hit Arizona's (4-5-2) two goals within minutes of each other. In her first goal of the season, Mutz headed the ball in from a free kick taken by sophomore Kirstyn Magyar at the end of the 65th minute, and Davis followed with a feed from freshman Ana Montoya in the 72nd. Davis's goal was also her first of the 2010 season, and her first career game-winner.
"It feels really good to get the win today," said head Coach Lisa Oyen. "And getting our second in a row going into conference is also great. These wins will really help in getting the girls prepared mentally for what they are about to face next starting week. We now know what we have to do in order to play at our best. It's great that our seniors got in a couple goals today, and their intensity has really paid off."
Montoya and fellow freshman Jazmin Ponce led the team with three shots each. Freshmen Jensen Skinner and Shannon Heinzler, and sophomores Alex Smith and Kristin Strother also took one shot apiece.
The Arizona defense kept San Francisco (4-9) out of the net until the 80th minute of play when the Dons' Molly Hall drilled the ball past junior GK Ashley Jett, who made nine other grabs on the afternoon.
Arizona and San Francisco were even on shots at 13 apiece, but the Wildcats had a slim advantage in corner kicks at 6-5. In on-goal shot attempts, the Dons had a decided advantage over the Wildcats at 10-3.
"I definitely have to give credit to San Francisco," Oyen added. "They're a hard working team and they kept us on our toes for the whole game. We made some mistakes that they capitalized on, and they definitely kept us honest through the entire game. We just have to play a complete ninety minutes. These last two games have shown us that we know how to close out, and have shown us what we need to keep doing in order to be successful in conference."
Up next, the Wildcats will kick off the conference schedule on the road. Arizona will face Washington on Friday, October 8 at 7pm in Seattle, Wash. On Sunday, the Wildcats will travel to Pullman to take on Washington State.

The trip ended as positively as it could, with two wins on the final day. The pitching staff looked much more relaxed and efficient today and timely hitting was found up and down the lineup. We are heading back to the hotel now, so you can expect full recaps of both games a little later tonight.
7:10 p.m. In the bottom of the eighth, Matt Toffaletti reached on an infield single. He was forced out on a fielder's choice off the bat of
A passed ball moved the runners into scoring position with one out. Matt Tellem, in his first collegiate at-bat, grounded out to second to drive in
After eight, Penn is up 12-1. Reid Terry is on for the ninth.
7:00 p.m. - In the bottom of the seventh, Penn put two more runs on the board when Mike Mariano singled for the second inning in a row. He drove in Dan Williams who had reached via infield single. Steve Gable scored Mariano with a double all the way to the wall in left-center.
Jeremy Maas is in for Penn now on the mound and retired the side in order in the eighth with three groundball outs.
6:35 p.m. After six innings, Penn leads 9-1. Mike Mariano started the inning with a single. Adrian Lorenzo followed with a base hit of his own. Steve Gable laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt to advance the runners. Kyle Armeny drove in Mariano with a single. With runners on first and second, both men stole a base to put two in scoring position. Toffaletti drove them both home with a single to make the score 9-1.
On another note, I just almost got hit by a foul ball from the field next to us. It landed with a loud "clang" on the bleachers right next to me. Thanks for the warning
6:18 p.m. -After five innings, the score is 6-1 in favor of the Red and Blue. The Quakers connected for four runs in the bottom of the fifth. Lorenzo singled up the middle and advanced to third when he stole second and hit third on an overthrow by the catcher. Armeny drove him in with a single. Toffaletti added a single of his own to put two runners on. Will
5:50 p.m. We have played three and a half innings so far in the final game of Penn's trip to Florida, and the Quakers are on top, 2-1. NJIT got on the board first with a run in the top of the third when a walk by Binkiewicz was followed by a stolen base and then a sacrifice bunt. He scored when the third strike to Mike Turner got by Mike Mariano and went to the backstop, negating the strikeout.
The Quakers got two in the bottom of the third when Adrian Lorenzo drove home Mariano with a triple. Lorenzo scored when Steve Gable singled.
Todd Roth has eight strikeouts through four innings.
4:00 p.m. Looks like we might try and get this second game in at 4:30 p.m. this afternoon, which is fine by me.
Lineups are in. Penn is the home team again.

NJIT enters the game with a 2-8 record this season. As a team, the Highlanders are hitting .311 with Ricky Petrosino leading the way at .571 over seven games. First baseman Mike Turner leads those who have played in all ten games with a .316 average. He also tops the Highlanders with three home runs and nine RBI.
PJ Saporito has started three games for NJIT, appearing in four total and has a 1-2 record with a 3.52 ERA. He will take the mound today against the Quakers.
Penn will counter with sophomore Todd Roth. He is 1-0 over two starts in 2008. Last time out, he defeated
3:30 p.m. In the top of the eighth, Paul Cusick came in and retired the first two batters before getting in a little trouble. He hit Brown and gave up a single to Maloney, with Brown advancing to third on an error by Dan Williams. The next batter was Munoz. He lined a shot back at Cusick that the pitcher deflected down to the ground with his glove. Cusick recovered to toss an underhand throw to Armeny at first to retire the Chargers. Reid Terry came on in the ninth to finish things off, shutting down Dominican in order, with two strikeouts. Final score, Penn 7 Dominican 1. The Quakers are back on the field at 5 p.m. against NJIT.
3:00 p.m. The Quakers got to Bohan immediately to start the bottom of the seventh. Dan Williams reached on an infield single when he beat out a throw from short. Steve Gable followed with a single of his own to right field. Kyle Armeny then connected with a Bohan offering, sending it over the right-field fence for a three-run homer, his first of the season and the team's first as well. Matt Toffaletti reach on a single before being retired on a fielder's choice off the bat of Will Davis. William Gordon added a double down the left-field line. Tom Grandieri, still in at DH singled home
2:47 p.m. Jeremy Mass relieved D'Agostini to start the seventh inning. He retired the Chargers in order with a strikeout of Cruz sandwiched between a pair of groundouts to third. William Gordon made two nice plays charging slow bouncers and made strong throws to first to retire the hitters. We are entering the bottom of the seventh now and Dominican has gone to the bullpen as well. Brendan Bohan is on the mound for the Chargers now. He is making his second appearance for Dominican and has one scoreless inning to his credit in 2008.
2:35 p.m. Tom Grandieri came on to get the first out of the inning, a ground-out to second and was done for the day on the mound. John D'Agostini came on in relief and after allowing a single to Munoz, induced an inning-ending double play to short. Dan Williams did a good job corralling the bouncer up the middle and stepping on second to force out Munoz while getting a throw off on the run. Kyle Armeny did just as good a job picking the throw on one hop.
2:30 p.m. After retiring the Chargers in order for the third straight inning, Penn came up in the bottom of the fifth and got the bats swinging. After Adrian Thomas ground out to first, Dan Williams blooped a single between the left fielder and shortstop. Steve Gable was up next and continued his hot ways, doubling home Williams who was off on the pitch as part of a hit-and-run. Kyle Armeny drove in Gable with a single through the hole into right field. The Quakers had a runner on third with two outs looking to extend the lead, but
2:10 p.m. After allowing a hit to Nelson Cruz, Grandieri got Iglesias to fly out to right field. The play was a designed hit-and-run by Dominican and Cruz was left in a cloud of dust at second base, helpless as Matt Toffaletti doubled him up at first base. The Quakers went 1-2-3 in their half of the fourth. After four innings the game is still tied 1-1.
1:53 p.m. Both teams scored a run in their half of the second inning. Dominican got on the board when Robert Iglesias scored Marc Mortellaro with a sacrifice fly. Mortellaro had reached via one of three walks in the inning by Grandieri.
The Quakers got the run back in the bottom of the second when Grandieri helped out his own cause. The sophomore reached on a throwing error by the shortstop Anthony Luciano. Adrian Lorenzo followed with a single to left-center. Grandieri hustled to third and Lorenzo followed speeding into second. The relay throw from Luciano missed second base and went all the way out of the field of play, allowing Grandieri to score and Lorenzo to reach third. Two groundouts squashed the rally, leaving the game tied 1-1 after two.
Grandierie retired the side in order in the top of the third, striking out Tommy Maloney and then getting Munoz to ground to second and Mann to line out to right. Quakers are up to bat right now.
1:31 p.m. The first inning has ended with neither team scoring a run. Dominican had runners on the corners with two outs on the heels of two walks and a stolen base, but Tom Grandieri induced a fielders choice, second to short, to end the inning. The Quakers had two runners of their own on in the bottom of the first thanks to a Kyle Armeny walk and Matt Toffaletti being hit by a pitch. Will
Also, we have a nice little soundtrack to the game today from a high school band and flag squad competition going on in the parking lot of Santaluces High School. Not quite sure who is winning, but more power to the guy walking around with the drum in this heat...
12:20 p.m. We have the lineups for the first game between Penn and Dominican (NY). The Quakers are going with a lineup very similar to the one which would have been on the field last night, with the only change being at pitcher. Sophomore transfer Tom Grandieri will make his first start for the Red and Blue after two appearances out of the bullpen. For the game, Penn will be the home team and will bat in the bottom of the first.

Looks like the Chargers are bringing Mondesir into the rotation from the bullpen. The senior right-hander is a big boy, 6-4 and 240 lbs. He was 2-0 over nine games, including two starts in 2007 with 26 strikeouts and a 3.60 ERA.
One other note, it appears that last night's scheduled starter for Penn, Todd Roth will get the nod in game two against NJIT. Dominican (NY) features a few left-handed hitters in their lineup, making a matchup with Grandieri a more favorable one for

Stinsman leads the Chargers' pitching staff with a 1-0 record over his two starts while not allowing a run. Michael Mondesir is a factor out of the bullpen for Dominican, striking out ten batters over seven innings over two relief appearances. I have not received word on who will start for Dominican yet, but will pass along his pertinent info before the game.

Hint: $$xy=z-x-y \quad \iff \quad (x+1)(y+1)=z+1.$$
Another hint: Subtracting the third equation from the second reveals a constant value for z as long as x ≠ y (Thank you Calvin).
The groebner basis in lex order is (try sympy)
$$x - z^4 - z^3 + 3z^2 + 2z=0$$ $$y + z^4 + 2z^3 - z^2 - 3z=0$$ $$z^5 + 3z^4 - 6z^2 - 4z=0$$
Note that now the first equation only contains $x,z$, the second only $y,z$ and the third only $z$.
If you factor out one $z$ from the third equation you have a degree four polynomial that is solvable in formulas (or you carry on guessing and factoring for that polynomial).
