$0.75/1 – Sara Lee Delightful Buns or Bread – (bricks.coupons.com)
There is a new $0.75 off Sara Lee Bread Coupon!
Thanks, Hooked on Bargains
Visit coupons.com, go to printable coupons area, you'll see a banner at the bottom (it rotates among other coupons like kellogg, restaurant.com, etc) with the 75c off sara lee coupon. Enjoy!
Oops let me retract part of the goods news, of course on closer inspection the coupon that I found last night can't be used with this coupon for Sara Lee Delightful bread…it is excluded…sorry…but it is still good on $1.00 off milk with purchase two Sara Lee bread products…so still look in your bread isles for this coupon.
I kept refreshing till the coupon popped up on the right side and it printed for me on coupon.com. Also last night I found a coupon in the bread isle for a $1.00 off milk with the purchase of two Sar Lee bread products…it is on a tear off pad. I am assuming that they are in all markets,but they should still be there. They weren't on a blinkie, so be on the lookout.
Angelique, thank you so much! I printed two, also, thanks to your help. 🙂 Woohoo!
Go to coupons.com, click next on the coupon page until the side banner on the right side has Sara Lee. Printed 2 coupons!
I went to coupons.com and clicked the ad…
Got mine!! Yay!
After several tries, I went to coupons.com on page 2 and found the coupon info on the right side. I was able to print 2 coupons.
GOT MINE!…My ad was at the bottom of the page as well from that zip code that was listed above
tells me I've printed the number allowed. Wonder when I did it. What a rip off
Not the end of the world, just a loaf of bread 🙂
I went to coupons.com and kept scrolling through the pages until i saw the add on the right side and clicked on it. I was able to print from there.
I got my two! Thanks!
Same here! 🙁
I eventually found it too, just keep refreshing your browser until the Sara Lee ad goes up on the side. I wish it was on all Sara Lee bread, family doesn't care for the Delightful stuff too much.
I try to print this coupon and it says that I already printed this, which I didn't…..
it was in the bottom banner for me…
For me, it said it had already printed using the above link. I went out to coupons.com and saw it showing up as a Web banner ad running at the bottom of the coupon site page. Clicked on the banner and got it to print just fine.
Must already be dead! Everyone is getting the same thing.
If you go to coupons.com & look on the right hand side at the ads you can get it there. If it doesn't come up right away just keep hitting refresh.
Am I doing something wrong? I tried this "trick" of going to coupons.com and looking for the ad but there are NO ads that pop up.
I just get an error
hmm. it says i printed them out too. weird!
Go to coupons.com and the link is on the right side of the page. You may have to refresh a couple of times but it will work!
I went to the original blog, she says its on the right hand side of coupons.com. I used my zipcode 66205 and the Sara Lee banner showed up on the right side and I was able to print from there.
I read on another site if you go to coupons.com and start going through the pages there will be an ad on the side for Sara Lee bread and a link to print the coupon. Hope this helps.
If you reboot the computer to factory default it will let you print all your coupons again. But you will loose all your info so do a back up your files and pics. It will change your ip and let you print.
I got the same thing, already printed maximum(I've never printed it.)
Says I've already printed too!!
FYI: One of their websites says they will be giving away bread coupons tomorrow on Twitter.
Tried the link, but no more prints available.
says i already print. i always have this problem 🙁
I wonder if it's because she sending us to her direct link and so if she's printed it the max times it wont let us. Hopefully, she can just put up the zip code for this item because it's not listed under my zipcode.
I get this error frequently and it doesn't matter which computer I try to print from 🙁
i THINK THEY MAY BE GONE AREADY? I GOT THE REACHED PRINT LIMIT AND I HAVE NEVER PRINTED THIS COUPON BEFORE.
it wont let me print!
Thank you so much for sharing this!
It keeps saying I've printed it the # of times allowed- but I haven't printed it at all! Anyone else having this issues?
said the same thing to me, and I didn't print any either
Must be gone already….tried to print from 2 different computers and it says I have already printed the number of times allowed :((
OK This JUST popped up, and when I tried it, it said I've already printed the allowable amount of coupons. I haven't EVER printed Sara Lee coupons because I'm new to this. What's up with that?
Having the same problem. Never printed it before. I am using Windows XP.
Having trouble printing this one out. Get the message already prined the maximum. This is my first try at this coupon! Anybody else having problems here?
Strange, it says that I have already printed it. This is the first time I have seen a coupon for this bread. What do you do now?
Says I already printed…which I didnt. Did the same thing a couple weeks ago when this coupon was available. Anyone get this to print? I tried on all 4 of my macs.
says I already printed too, and never have……

Sexual Assault Education | Breaking Silences Video | Domestic Violence
Ending Sexual Assault And Violence Against Women: Breaking Silences Video
Breaking Silences: A Supplemental Video To NO!
Color/Digital Video/112 minutes/USA/2007
AfroLez® Productions, LLC – Production Company, Print Source, & Distributor
Aishah Shahidah Simmons — Producer/Director
Joan W. Brannon — Director of Photography
Monica Dillon — Editor and Original Score
Ford Foundation — Funder
Produced and directed by Aishah Shahidah Simmons, Breaking Silences: A Supplemental Video to NO!™ The Rape Documentary features selected in-depth excerpts from the thirty plus hours of footage that didn't make it into the award winning, internationally acclaimed NO!™ The Rape Documentary.
This comprehensive video is compartmentalized into five individual segments, which feature compelling messages from women and men violence prevention advocates/activists and riveting testimonials from women who are multiple survivors of sexual violence.
Deconstructing Rape Myths (30 minutes)
Featuring Aaronette M. White, Ph.D.
A social psychologist and activist dispels 17 rape myths and misconceptions that impact the way many members of society tend to think about and respond to rape and other forms of sexual assault. She underscores the importance of dispelling these myths and misconceptions so that:
- women victim/survivors will tend to speak out more; and
- women victim/survivors will have a better chance of getting justice in the criminal justice system
because members of the criminal justice system such as
- police officers,
- judges,
- lawyers, and
- prospective jurors
will all have a better understanding about rape and other forms of sexual assault.
The Role of Religion in Violence Against Women (25 minutes)
Featuring Gwendolyn Zoharah Simmons, Ph.D. and Rev. Traci C. West, Ph.D.
Two feminist/womanist Islamic and Christian scholars and theologians both critique the negative impact of the role of religion in violence against women, while celebrating how women have used and continue to use Christianity and Islam to nourish their spirits and their souls while they heal from all forms of battering and sexual violence.
Women, Incarceration, & The Impact of Sexual Abuse (18 minutes)
Featuring Pat Clark
A veteran criminal justice advocate addresses some of the most critical struggles that incarcerated women, many of who are survivors of domestic and sexual violence, must face every day, while offering concrete solutions about what those of us who aren't incarcerated can and should do to challenge the injustices and address the needs of imprisoned women.
Additional Testimonies From Survivors (20 minutes)
Featuring Salamishah Tillet, Ph.D. and Gwendolyn Zoharah Simmons, Ph.D.
Their individual assaults occurred thirty years apart on two different continents and yet there is a common theme that is conveyed through their testimonies.
Men Speak Out Against Raping and Battering (16 minutes)
Featuring Michael Simmons, Ulester Douglas, Sulaiman Nuriddin
and John T. Dickerson, Jr.
Men activists who have demonstrated track records of standing on the frontlines of local, national and global movements that address, challenge, and work towards ending all forms of violence perpetuated against women and girls, have honest and frank discussions about what all men must do to stop the (heterosexual) raping and battering of women.
Breaking Silences is an ideal educational organizing tool, which can be used both independently and as a supplement to NO! The Rape Documentary.
The chaptered DVD menu gives viewers the option to view the segments separately or in one viewing.
You might host a one-time screening of the video in its entirety; or, you might host a five-part screening series, which would feature each segment, followed by conversations and workshops, in your
- dorm,
- classroom,
- church or mosque,
- rape crisis center,
- shelter,
- correctional facility,
- living room, and/or
- community space.
Breaking Silences is an excellent resource for anyone who is taking action or wants to take action in their communities to educate themselves and each other about rape and sexual assault.Print This Page

Windstar Cruises' 14,745-ton, 312-passenger Wind Surf came to the aid of a catamaran in the Caribbean earlier this week. The ship received a call Tuesday evening from the Martinique-based Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) to join in an emergency rescue effort off the north coast of Guadeloupe. Sofrane, a French catamaran, was experiencing engine problems in 16-foot seas with winds gusting to 40 knots; only one man was onboard.
Interestingly, Windstar crew did not pick up the stranded sailor. Their role in the rescue operation was to position their five-mast, seven-sail ship near the troubled catamaran in order to create a lee -- an area of shelter in the opposite direction from which the wind blows. This windbreak created a calm area for the smaller Sofrane to remain in until a rescue boat could take it into tow two hours later, at 9:25 p.m.
Wind Surf was released by the MRCC at 9:29 p.m. and continued on to its next port, St. Martin, as scheduled.
It's not uncommon for cruise ships to alter course to assist fellow seamen in trouble. Earlier this fall, P&O Cruises' Ventura came to the aid of an injured yachtsman in the Mediterranean after intercepting his mayday call -- and over the summer, Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Dawn rescued two sailors in one day.

The last few weeks have been very tense in the Ukraine. As most if the world knows, political tensions in the Ukraine escalated a few weeks ago as a portion if the Ukraine's citizenry protested oppressive conditions forcing the then leader to flee the country. This promted Vladimir Putin, Russia's president, to send troops in to intervene.
Many nation's leaders became worried that tensions would escalate into an armed conflict. Germany's leader, Angela Merkel, reached out to Putin in an attempt to try to get him to back off. She would later express concern that Putin was not in touch with reality (http://time.com/#13040/putin-ukraine-obama-white-house-attacks/).
Certainly, Mr. Putin has drawn some international attention recently with some of his antics. A few months ago, prior to the beginning of the winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, his Parliament passed a law banning homosexuality (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/11/russia-law-banning-gay-prop...).
Additionally, Putin was also very involved with Syria and their chemical weapons a year ago (http://www.jpost.com/Diplomacy-and-Politics/Putin-says-US-Russia-agree-o...). Russia was seen as being an arms supplier, and possibly involved in supplying chemical weapons as well, to Syria.
Needless to say that tensions between the United States and Russia are mounting (http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/28/world/europe/ukraine-politics). One would even think that with Russia's attempt at land grab in the Ukraine, the cold war is back. In h center of all the controversy is what is Vladimir Putin thinking? Is he exercusing appropriate leadership measures for the good of his country, or is he out of touh with reality and just looking to restore the Soviet Union as a powerhouse?
Looking at Mr. Putin's behaviour, we can discern, speculate and hypothesize just what may be going on inside his head. Without an involved discussion with him, of course, it wuld be beyond our ability to decide that he is delusional. Nevertheless, we di have clues that may give s some insight.
Mr. Putin has proclaimed that he is concered about the situation in Ukraine for theb safety of some Russians that are living there (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/10669670/Ukrain...). Our own president has discounted this as no more than an excuse.
A heightened sense of self-importance is the hallmark of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (http://www.halcyon.com/jmashmun/npd/dsm-iv.htm). The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, in fact, states that or is characterized by "(a) pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy".
While it may take a grandiose oersonality to seek the highest levels of public office, it may seem that there are other factors involved as well. The ban against homosexuality and lack of regard for the Ukranisms' right to govern would seem to validate the lack of empathy.
Another distinguishing characteristic of NPD is that lying is a common trait of narcissists (ibid). Hence President Obama's remark that Putin's excuse for gong into Ukraine "isn't fooling anybody" ((http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/10669670/Ukrain...).
The unfortunate conclusion is this: since narcissists have a grandiose view if hemselves, it ay be hard, if nit impossible to reason with him. Perhaps a solution may involve appealing to his vanity and one that makes him look like the winner for getting out of Ukraine.
A show if force may be useless since he will not se himself as weak. Perhaps, then, some type of reward that is more than his occupation of that country. Ultimately, the worst case scenario would be military conflict. And let's hope it doesn't come down to that.

The sounds of steam whistles and chugging locomotives will blend with the classical blues of Jelly Roll Morton at "Blacks on Tracks," an event celebrating the amazing contributions that African Americans made to the nation's railroads. Held at the Colorado Railroad Museum on Saturday, February 18, the event will include re-enactors, music, and the tasty food of Five Points caterer Cora Fayes, including traditional soul food such as fried chicken, po'boys and catfish.
African American connections with railroading goes back to the "Great Migration" that followed the Civil War, when thousands of freed slaves headed north and west, pursuing their dreams for greater opportunity and freedom. After the Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869, there was a rise in railroad tourism that provided opportunities for African Americans, many of whom served as porters on cars made by the Pullman Palace Car Company. In Denver, these rail employees and their families established a lively community in Five Points.
Saturday's event will include opportunities to:
- ride in vintage passenger coaches with red velvet seats and brass chandeliers pulled by an 1880's steam locomotive;
- explore the Museum's collection of more than 100 pieces of historic rolling stock, from cabooses and freight cars, to diesel and steam locomotives that ran through Colorado;
- listen to re-enactors as they transport you back to the experiences, challenges and sometimes harsh realities faced by African Americans working and traveling on the railroads in Colorado;
- seea special exhibit ofphotographs that capture the vibrant black community in Colorado in the early 1900s;
- savor food from Cora Fayes, the celebrated Five Points caterer who will be selling traditional soul food, including fried chicken, po'boys and catfish; and
- listen to the celebrated sounds of African American classical, jazz and blues musicians like William Grant Still, Sidney Bechet, Ma Rainey, and Jelly Roll Morton, who once performed in Five Points neighborhood venues.
"Blacks on Tracks" will be presented at the Colorado Railroad Museum in collaboration with Denver's Blair Caldwell African American Research Library and Black American West Museum. Special thanks to Kenneth Grimes, Terry Nelson, Steve Parker and Sid Wilson.
IF YOU GO: The event is at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Saturday, Feb. 18, Special Event Fare Schedules apply.
- Children (Under 2) Free
- Children (2 – 16) $5.00
- Adults $15.00
- Family (Two adults and children under 16): $30.00
- Seniors (Over 60) $10.00 Museum members are free.

The Seattle Mariners beat the New York Yankees 6-3 on Tuesday night (April 29). In the first game of the series, Chris Young took the mound and allowed only three hits over 5 2/3 innings of work. Young is now 1-0 in his first season with the team. The game was also the best one Mike Zunino has had at the plate as the Mariners' catcher went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored.
Adding to the offense were Justin Smoak, Willie Bloomquist and Dustin Ackley, as all three players had two hits on the night. Corey Hart also drove in two runs and the team posted 15 hits total on the night. It was the most hits that they have had in a single game during the 2014 MLB season. Nine players registered at least one hit for the team, with Stephen Romero as the only starter that didn't reach base safely.
Charlie Furbush, Danny Farquhar, and Fernando Rodney spelled Young to finish off the Yankees as they beat CC Sabathia again. The starter for the Yankees allowed four runs on nine hits in just five innings of work. He did strike out five batters and didn't walk anyone before coming out at the end of the fifth inning.
The offense has been rolling very nicely lately and has yielded four win in the last five games for the Seattle Mariners. In the updated 2014 MLB standings, the team is now at 11-14 and squarely in fourth place in the American League West. They trail the 13-13 LA Angels by 1 1/2 games for third place and the 17-10 Oakland Athletics by five games for the division lead.
As the April 30 contest against the Yankees has already been rained out, the next game for the Mariners is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. PT on Thursday (May 1). The starting pitcher has not yet been confirmed, but it could end up being rookie Roenis Elias, who was supposed to take the mound in the postponed Game 2.

BOULDER - It was almost déjà vu . . . but with a much happier ending. Three nights after a Texas A&M three-pointer with under 2 seconds to play tied Colorado and eventually brought a devastating overtime loss, Kansas State had CU in a hauntingly familiar position.
With 1.1 seconds remaining, the Buffaloes were ahead by two and defending the Wildcats' in-bounds play. After CU Coach Tad Boyle had called timeout to set his defense, the ball was lobbed cross court to Rodney McGruder, who caught it - and despite having 6-foot-6 Alec Burks draped on him - leaped, turned and buried what was ruled on the court as a game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer.
TGFR - that's Thank God For Replay.
Tom O'Neill, Jeb Hartness and Greg Rennergarbe - three guys in stripes who hadn't made many new friends in the Coors Events Center to that point - huddled at the scorer's table, watched the tape and ruled McGruder's eighth three-point attempt of the night (he'd already hit three) left his hand a fraction of a second too late.
Score it CU 58, K-State 56 - and color Boyle and his Buffs a relieved and happy bunch after breaking a two-game losing streak and sweeping the Wildcats for the first time since 2003-04.
"What a difference a day makes . . . our players deserved this win after what happened on Wednesday night when we gave one away," said Boyle, who didn't look at the Events Center video boards for a hint of the officials' ruling, preferring to wait on whatever word he was given. "I couldn't tell . . . but I thought we guarded it well."
Senior Cory Higgins "wasn't confident at all" that McGruder's shot would be waved off. "But then I heard the students, I guess they were pretty confident . . . when we saw the (video) screen and we all knew it was no good."
After K-State Coach Frank Martin watched "the clip on the television screen on the (scorer's) table the second time it was run . . . I saw the light had gone off and it wasn't any good. If you don't play well enough then you don't deserve to win and we didn't play well enough."
Burks was close to disbelief that McGruder even got the shot away but also believed it didn't hit the net in time: "It was crazy for anybody to make that. It was like a 'horse shot' or something. I don't know how he made it. He saw me everywhere he was shooting. I had my hands in his face . . . I saw the red light go off; I know he didn't get it off in time."
Like Boyle, though, the capacity crowd of 11,052 - CU's third sellout this season - couldn't spell (or experience) relief until the official ruling. CU fans left the building thankful they'd stayed despite a first half that was mud ugly.
Higgins called it "the most unorthodox game I think I've played in. It was that way against them last year, too . . . it's just their style of play, but we have to match it. It's why it's such a grudge match when we play these guys."
Higgins led the Buffs with 17 points and Levi Knutson added 16. But Burks, who had been in double figures in 24 of 25 games this season, had to be content with his 10 rebounds - a game high - and eight points.
"Don't matter what I did," Burks said, "we won."
Boyle said that happened because of his "gold" team - mostly second-line players who haven't seen much (or in some cases any) playing time during the Big 12 Conference season. That list includes 7-foot freshman Ben Mills, who saw his first Big 12 duty; senior Javon Coney; junior Trey Eckloff; and redshirt freshman Shannon Sharpe, whom Boyle said "really grew up tonight" filling in for injured (sprained ankle) point guard Nate Tomlinson.
Sharpe finished with eight points in 21 minutes, his high in conference play. He was at his best going to the rim, with one of his three field goals a highlight dunk from the baseline.
Mills didn't score during his nine minutes, but contributed a pair of blocks. He also was in on K-State's final play, stationed at the rim to guard against a lob. "It was really fun for me to get in the game and try and contribute and help as much as I could," he said, noting his first block "was an adrenaline rush for me . . . I think it built some momentum."
Once again, the Buffs were without Tomlinson, who sat out his second consecutive game due to an ankle sprain suffered last weekend at Missouri. On Thursday, Tomlinson said he expected to play, and he tried to practice on Friday. But he wasn't in uniform Saturday night after the ankle bothered him during CU's afternoon shoot-around.
And once again, his presence at the point was missed. The Buffs committed 11 turnovers in a first half that was a struggle in almost every way. Neither team found any offensive flow, but CU might have been the more deficient. The Buffs shot just 28.6 percent from the field, and had they not converted nine of their 10 free throw attempts, they undoubtedly would have trailed by more than two (23-21) at intermission.
On the flip side, had the Wildcats been more proficient than their 50 percent free throw shooting (7-for-14 in the first half, 18-for-31 in the game), their lead would have more than their 24.1 percent field goal percentage deserved. The Buffs shot more proficiently in the second half, going 13-of-22 from the field (59.1 percent).
CU led only once in the first 20 minutes, taking an 8-7 advantage on a short Burks jumper with 13:18 left in the half. From there, K-State led by as many as eight points (22-14) before CU connected on five-of-six free throws and got a strong layup from Sharpe to close to within 22-21 with just over a minute remaining before the break.
Sharpe's basket broke a nearly 4-minute field goal drought for CU, which didn't score on a fast-break in the first half and gave up a dozen second-chance points while scoring only two.
Likely looking for some offensive spark and continuity, Boyle went deep into his bench, using 10 players. But the Buffs ended the half with season lows in points, field goals made (six), and no three-pointers in six attempts. CU's 21 first-half points was its lowest total since scoring only nine at Iowa State in a 70-42 loss on Feb. 11, 2009.
The second half had to get better . . . didn't it?
Initially, yes. When Knutson opened the scoring with a three-pointer, the Buffs took their second lead (24-23). Just over 3 minutes later, a Higgins jumper opened the advantage to 28-25.
Then, Burks was assessed his third personal foul while catching an elbow from Curtis Kelly on a defensive rebound. Officials reviewed the call, ruled that Kelly had thrown the elbow intentionally and awarded CU a pair of free throws.
Higgins hit those with 15:58 to play, then Marcus Relphorde scored on a reverse layup. Suddenly, the Buffs had their biggest lead of the game - 32-25. A minute-plus later, Relphorde went to the bench with his fourth foul.
Burks replaced him, almost immediately canned a jumper - putting CU ahead 36-28 - and then collected his fourth foul on what was ruled an intentional elbow throw at Shane Southwell, who hit one of two free throws.
The Wildcats tied the game twice (36-36, 39-39) on a pair of treys by McGruder and took a 47-44 lead on a trey by Will Spradling with 7:39 remaining. CU answered with two free throws and a pull-up jumper by Higgins to go ahead 48-47, but a Spradling free throw - he drew Relphorde's fifth foul - at 5:08 tied the score.
Less than 2 minutes later, CU lost freshman Andre Roberson to fouls, but Jacob Pullen couldn't convert either free throw with 3:31 to play. From there until the buzzer, the lead flipped back and forth five times, with Burks putting the Buffs ahead 54-53 with a pair of free throws, then dunking on a steal for a 56-53 lead.
Pullen's layup pulled K-State to 56-55 with 13.2 seconds left, but Knutson's two free throws restored CU's three-point advantage (58-55) with 11.9 seconds remaining.
Knutson fouled Pullen, who hit one free throw before missing intentionally on the second. Up by three and fouling before a trey is taken normally runs against Boyle's philosophy. "That thing could have very easily backfired on us," he said.
Trailing 58-56, KSU controlled the rebound after Pullen's planned miss and called timeout with 1.1 to play. CU followed with a timeout, set its defense and . . . waited for the officials to waive off McGruder's turnaround trey.
"Our guys battled," Boyle said. "And that's what we have to do every night; it's non-negotiable. If we do that and our players buy into it, which they're starting to, we're going to win our fair share of games."
The Buffs, now 16-10 overall and 5-6 in the conference, don't play again until they visit No. 2 Kansas on Saturday, Feb. 19 (noon, ESPN). KU defeated CU 82-78 on Jan. 25 in the Events Center.

IBM SPSS Statistics is software for managing data and calculating a wide variety of statistics. This document is intended for students taking classes that use SPSS Statistics. Those who plan on doing more involved research projects using SPSS should attend our workshop series.
If you are not already familiar with the SPSS windows (the Data Editor, Output Viewer, and Syntax Editor), please read SPSS Statistics for Students: The Basics.
The examples that follow are based on the sample data in
C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\19\Samples\English\Employee data.sav
Counts and percents are wonderful statistics because they are easy to explain and quickly grasped. Frequencies also form the very foundation of most explanations of probability. They are an excellent place to begin understanding any data you may work with.
Analyze -> Descriptive Statistics -> Frequencies
Select one or more variables in the selection list on the left, and move them into the analysis list on the right by clicking on the arrow in between. Then click OK.
frequencies variables = gender minority.
Note that this is one of the few instances where missing values (whether system missing . or user designated missing) show up in the default output table (however, not in this particular example).
The mean and standard deviation of a variable are such fundamental quantities in statistics, that there are many SPSS commands that will report them to you. The most straightforward command to use is Descriptives.
Two other useful commands are Frequencies (in the dialog box, click on the Statistics button), when you want to see counts as well as means and standard deviations (perhaps for Likert scales), and Explore, which gives you such additional statistics as the median and interquartile range as well as a variety of graphs.
Analyze -> Descriptive Statistics -> Descriptives
Select one or more variables in the selection list on the left, and move them into the analysis list on the right by clicking on the arrow in between. Then click OK.
descriptives variables=educ salary.
SPSS has three different sets of commands for producing graphs. The easiest to learn and use are the oldest "legacy" graphing commands. They give you graphs with a default visual style (colors used, weight of lines, size of type, etc) that can be customized by hand.
Histograms are vexing because they can be alternately informative or deceptive, depending upon how the bins (the bar boundaries) are chosen. They are useful and popular because they are conceptually very simple, easy to draw and interpret, and if drawn well they can give a good visual representation of the distribution of values of a variable.
Graphs -> Legacy Dialogs -> Histogram
The basic histogram command works with one variable at a time, so pick one variable from the selection list on the left and move it into the Variable box. (A useful option if you expect your variable to have a normal distribution is to Display normal curve.)
graph /histogram(normal) = prevexp.
In this example, the distribution of the data is nothing like a normal distribution!
To edit colors, titles, scales, etc. double-click on the graph in the Output Viewer, then double-click on the graph element you want to change.
The basic crosstabs command just gives you counts by default. Typically it is useful to also look at either row-percents or column-percents, which must be specified as options.
Analyze -> Descriptive Statistics -> Crosstabs
Select one variable as the rows, another variable as the columns. Conventionally you might put an independent variable in the rows and a dependent variable in the columns, although mathematically it doesn't really matter. To get percents in your output, click on the Cells button and specify the kind of percents you want to see.
/tables=jobcat by minority
/cells=count row.
In this command syntax (and the next one, means), you see the key word by used to specify a categorical variable that divides the data into groups.
Analyze -> Compare Means -> Means
Select the variable(s) that you want means of, and move it to the Dependent List. Select the variable that divides the data into subsets (the "grouping" or "by" variable) and move it to the Independent List. You may have more than one variable in either/both list, and SPSS processes them in pairs and produces separate tables.
means tables=salary by minority.
Similar to a histogram, the x axis is treated as a categorical variable, and the y axis represents one of a variety of summary statistics: counts (a.k.a. a histogram!), means, sums, etc.
Graphs -> Legacy Dialogs -> Bar
This takes you through an initial dialog box, where you choose among several basic schemas for making bar charts,
and then to the main dialog box. To graph means by groups, select Other statistic for what the bars represent, the variable for which you want to calculate means in the Variable box (means will be the default statistic), and the group in the Category Axis box.
graph /bar=mean(salary) by jobcat.
Graphs -> Legacy Dialogs -> Boxplot
As with bar charts, you first choose a specific boxplot schema from an initial dialog box,
and then choose the analytical variable (the one you want to see medians and interquartile ranges for, the y axis), and the categorical variable (the x axis).
examine variables=salary by jobcat
Analyze -> Correlate -> Bivariate
SPSS calculates bivariate correlations (the Pearson's r) for all pairs of variables in the list.
correlations /variables=educ salary prevexp.
Both simple scatter plots and scatter plot matrixes are pretty easy to produce.
Graphs -> Legacy Dialogs -> Scatter/Dot
Takes you through two dialog boxes. First you choose the scatter plot schema you want to work with,
And then you specify the variables with the x and y coordinates of the points you wish to plot.
graph /scatterplot=salary with salbegin.
graph /scatterplot(matrix)=salary salbegin prevexp.
T-test can be used in a variety of ways, and SPSS gives you quick access to three of them (univariate, grouped, and paired) through the Compare Means menu. They all access the same t-test command.
Analyze -> Compare Means -> Independent-Samples T Test
When setting up an independent-samples (grouped) t-test, you not only specify the variable being tested and the grouping variable, but you also have to specify which data values represent the two groups you want compared (because in general the grouping variable might have an arbitrary number of categories, not just two). Use the Define Groups button, and type in the data values (not the value labels) that define the groups being compared.
If you type in an invalid data value for any of the groups, SPSS will not catch your mistake until you actually run the command. You need to know what your data look like before you get to this dialog box, because SPSS will not let you browse your data set while a dialog box is open.
t-test groups=gender('f' 'm')
Like t-tests, chi-square tests come up in a wide variety of circumstances, the most common of which is assessing the independence of two variables in a contingency table (a crosstab). So this chi-square test is specified as an option on a crosstab command.
Analyze -> Descriptive Statistics -> Crosstabs
In the main dialog box, click on the Statistics button, then select Chi-square and Continue back to the main dialog box. Specify your variables and run.
/tables=jobcat by minority
/cells=count row.
ANOVA tables are a core concept in statistics, and they are produced by several different commands in SPSS, including oneway, glm, and unianova. The unianova command is perhaps the easiest to use overall, because it allows you to use string (character) variables as factors.
(If you are doing a one-way ANOVA and your factor is coded in numeric form, then oneway is even easier to use.)
Analyze -> General Linear Model -> Univariate
For a simple ANOVA, your factors are considered Fixed Factors. If you have more than one factor and you do not want to include interactions in your model, you will need to specify that with the Model button.
unianova salary by jobcat.
Analyze -> Regression -> Linear
/dependent salary
/method=enter salbegin.

Intel posts a 27 percent drop in fourth quarter profits
Fails to repeat the magic of 2011
CHIPMAKER Intel posted a 27 percent decline in fourth quarter profits to round out its 2012 fiscal year with 15 percent lower net earnings than last year.
Intel came off an exceedingly strong 2011 when it enjoyed significant revenue and profit increases, a performance it was unable to repeat in 2012. The firm posted its fourth quarter financials with revenues down by three percent from a year ago to $13.5bn while quarterly profits fell by 27 percent from last year to $2.5bn.
Intel's fourth quarter results capped a relatively disappointing fiscal year for the firm. Intel's full year 2012 results show the firm had $53.3bn in revenues, down 12 percent from 2011 while profits fell by 15 percent to $11bn with earnings per share falling a 11 percent to $2.13.
Looking beyond Intel's headline figures, the firm's revenue breakdown only confirms a decline in the PC market. The firm saw revenue from its PC Client Group fall by three percent to $34.3bn while its Data Center Group, which includes Xeon chips, increased revenue by six percent to $10.7bn.
Intel CEO Paul Otellini said, "The fourth quarter played out largely as expected as we continued to execute through a challenging environment. We made tremendous progress across the business in 2012 as we entered the market for smartphones and tablets, worked with our partners to reinvent the PC, and drove continued innovation and growth in the datacenter. As we enter 2013, our strong product pipeline has us well positioned to bring a new wave of Intel innovations across the spectrum of computing."
Although Intel's 2012 financial figures seem poor in comparison to 2011, it should be noted that the firm surpassed all expectations during 2011 and few analysts were expecting it to repeat the 19 percent increase in profits. That said, Intel faces challenges in 2013 as the PC market is expected to continue its contraction and there are no guarantees on the firm's success in the smartphone and tablet markets, while ARM chip vendors are knocking on the door in the server market. µ

Briton faces drug smuggling charges
A 55-year-old British woman is accused of trying to smuggle almost five kilograms of cocaine, worth $2.6 million, into Indonesia.PT0M0S 620 349
JAKARTA. A 55-year-old Englishwoman faces the firing squad in Bali after she was arrested trying to smuggle 4.8 kilograms of cocaine in a box disguised as a birthday present. Lindsay June Sandiford (left) was arrested on May 19 with a large box packed with cocaine and covered in pink wrapping paper.
Police say the cocaine, spotted by airport X-rays, had a street value of $2.6 million and that Ms Sandiford had smuggled it from Bangkok. She told customs she had taken part only because her children were being threatened in England. Ms Sandiford helped police with a ''controlled delivery'', which netted three more British nationals on May 25. An Indian was also held but police do not know if he is part of the group.

BACKGROUND: Any benefit of adjuvant interferon alfa-2b for melanoma could depend on dose and duration of treatment. Our aim was to determine whether pegylated interferon alfa-2b can facilitate prolonged exposure while maintaining tolerability. METHODS: 1256 patients with resected stage III melanoma were randomly assigned to observation (n=629) or pegylated interferon alfa-2b (n=627) 6 mug/kg per week for 8 weeks (induction) then 3 mug/kg per week (maintenance) for an intended duration of 5 years. Randomisation was stratified for microscopic (N1) versus macroscopic (N2) nodal involvement, number of positive nodes, ulceration and tumour thickness, sex, and centre. Randomisation was done with a minimisation technique. The primary endpoint was recurrence-free survival. Analyses were done by intention to treat. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00006249. FINDINGS: All randomised patients were included in the primary efficacy analysis. 608 patients in the interferon group and 613 patients in the observation group were included in safety analyses. The median length of treatment with pegylated interferon alfa-2b was 12 (IQR 3.8-33.4) months. At 3.8 (3.2-4.2) years median follow-up, 328 recurrence events had occurred in the interferon group compared with 368 in the observation group (hazard ratio 0.82, 95% CI 0.71-0.96; p=0.01); the 4-year rate of recurrence-free survival was 45.6% (SE 2.2) in the interferon group and 38.9% (2.2) in the observation group. There was no difference in overall survival between the groups. Grade 3 adverse events occurred in 246 (40%) patients in the interferon group and 60 (10%) in the observation group; grade 4 adverse events occurred in 32 (5%) patients in the interferon group and 14 (2%) in the observation group. In the interferon group, the most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events were fatigue (97 patients, 16%), hepatotoxicity (66, 11%), and depression (39, 6%). Treatment with pegylated interferon alfa-2b was discontinued because of toxicity in 191 (31%) patients. INTERPRETATION: Adjuvant pegylated interferon alfa-2b for stage III melanoma has a significant, sustained effect on recurrence-free survival.

Your "S.O.S." signals have been heard: The Jonas Brothers have completed their next album . One week before they hit the road for their Latin and South American tour, big brother Kevin has confirmed that new music is on the horizon.
"The new album is finally done, and we are so excited. We wanted to take a little extra time on it to make sure it was right, and we've been working for almost a year now on it and it's time and now we're back on the road," he told Celebuzz about the release. "We're just really looking forward to seeing the fans again. The fans down there are so passionate and so exciting, and I can't wait to share that with [my wife] Danielle."
It's been nearly four years since the brothers released a studio album, 2009's Lines, Vines and Trying Times, and the guys have certainly grown a lot since then. None of the fellas are teenagers anymore, they've had some solo releases and Kevin got married to longtime love Danielle. And yes, fans should expect a song or two about her on the album.
"I'm in a completely different place than I was when we wrote our last album three years ago," he said. "I've been married now for three years. I've been through a lot, so much good. And I've learned so much about Danielle and myself. … I've really grown as a person too. I was very excited to put that into music. Everything I write, there's a piece of Danielle in each part of it. Each one of the guys as well puts their own personal stamp on it."
No release date has been confirmed, but the trio played some new music for fans during several gigs last fall. One of those new tracks is the buzzy "Wedding Bells," which many fans have speculated is about Nick's ex, Miley Cyrus.
"The vibe right now that we're trying to create, we've kind of had a really memorable career we're really thankful for up until this time, [and now we're] hoping to create an experience for our fans that is really personal and shows a little bit deeper look into what our lives have been like, as far as lyrics," Nick told MTV News last October. "But musically, we're trying to push ourselves and continue to grow and get better.
"We're talking about some really real subjects and things that are meaningful to us both in the present time, in the past, and it's just now out there for people to hear," he added, noting that the guys wrote and produced much of the record on their own. "That's the great thing about being an artist, is you can create and then share later."
What are you expecting from new Jonas Brothers music? Let us know in the comments!

I looked her up at Celeb Defamer and found a large assortment of fakes of her. It was tough picking out just two to showcase here but I settled on these two. The first shows her naked with one of her hot co-stars and she looks like a hot little sex kitten! The other porn fake has her getting her sweet pussy stuffed by a whole gang of guys.
You can see the rest of these Joanna Jojo Levesque fakes at Celeb Defamer, as well as those of thousands of other famous women. From actresses and models to sports women, socialites and more.

With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
The protected area around one of southern New England's most pristine river systems has grown, with The Nature Conservancy's acquisition of 104 acres in Middlefield.
The Conservancy had identified the primarily wooded land—a 55-acre tract and a 49-acre tract, both in the Westfield River watershed—as critical to protect because of its location within a large area of intact high-quality forest. Such forests help provide the state and region with clean air and water and vital wildlife habitat.
The land borders a 31-acre parcel owned by the Conservancy and creates a corridor of protected land that has Factory Brook as its western boundary. Factory Brook is a tributary to the West Branch of the Westfield River.
The Nature Conservancy, the state and the National Wild and Scenic Rivers program have recognized the Westfield River as one of the most intact river systems in southern New England, and one of the healthiest tributaries to the Connecticut River.
The clear, cold, swift-flowing tributaries and intact river corridors in the upper Westfield watershed—which includes Factory Brook—provide critical habitat for rare fish and dragonfly species and many are designated as important 'Coldwater Fishery Resources' by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife.
"This sale is historic in that this land has been part of the Pease family since my grandparents bought it just after they were married," said Myrtle (Pease) Richardson, whose family owned the 49-acre tract. "I remember visiting 'the cider lot,' as it used to be called, and picking blueberries here with my mother when it was all open fields. The Pease/Richardson families are pleased to have worked with The Nature Conservancy to conserve an area so rich in natural beauty that will serve as a tribute to the family's historic legacy in the area."
Markelle Smith, land protection specialist for The Nature Conservancy in Massachusetts said the Conservancy is grateful to the properties' owners. The Conservancy also is pleased that portions of both tracts with homes on them will remain in private, family ownership.
"Thanks to the property owners' foresight and conservation values, we've been able to protect more than 1,100 feet of frontage on Factory Brook, along with many acres of intact forest that surround it," Smith said. "People will be able to enjoy and reap the benefits of this additional open space in such a special place for generations to come."
The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organization working around the world to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends.

Why Ghana World Cup fans are claiming asylum in Brazil
Nearly 200 Ghanaians have requested asylum in Brazil after visiting the country to watch the World Cup.
According to the BBC, police say these Ghanaian Muslims are requesting asylum to flee "inter-religious conflicts in their home country."
The fans reportedly filed for asylum in Caxias do Sul and are currently taking shelter in Roman Catholic churches in the area.
The group made headlines last week after failing to return to Ghana via flights organized for their return. Of the 600 Ghanaian fans who came to Brazil, nearly half failed to return home.
But all is not as it seems. To learn more about what motives may be at play, watch this Newsy video.

Chrissy Teigen thinks that she deserves an award for having sex with John Legend. However, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model isn't bragging about how good she is in bed.
According to an April 28 report by Cosmopolitan, Teigen recently made an admission about her sex life that's somewhat shocking. When the model was asked about the craziest place that she and John Legend have ever had sex, she revealed that she's a member of the Mile High Club. "We were on our way to Thailand to see my parents, flying commercial first-class," she said. "We were under a blanket. We weren't even in one of those pod things. I feel like we should get a trophy for that."
Sex on a plane isn't that big of a deal – the Mile High Club probably has plenty of celebrity members. However, most stars likely join the club when they're on private jets, so it is actually kind of impressive that Chrissy Teigen and John Legend managed to sneak in a sex session with nothing but a blanket hiding their romp from their fellow passengers.
Even though most people would see Chrissy Teigen's admission as being pretty naughty, she doesn't think that she and her man are very kinky. "We're by no means freaky-deaky, but let's just say, we're open to things," she said. "We're very okay with PDA. When we go to a restaurant, he loves when I wear a dress, so he can do some upper-thigh rubbing." It sounds like John Legend just has dessert on his mind at dinnertime.
Chrissy might think that she and John have a pretty normal sexual relationship, but she did once let her lover pretend to choke her in a disturbing Christmas video. If she and John get off on faux domestic abuse, their sexual relationship is definitely "freaky-deaky." Chrissy might enjoy public foreplay and pretend choking, but she isn't a fan of all BDSM – she once buried a copy of "Fifty Shades of Grey" in the sand after reading just two pages of the book.
Chrissy also admitted that her relationship with John started with sex. They hooked up on the set of his "Stereo" music video, but she didn't try to start a serious relationship with him right away. "The worst thing you can do is try to lock someone like that down early on, then have them think, 'There's so much more out there,'" she said. Instead she "played it cool for a long time."
Obviously being patient paid off – Chrissy definitely has John locked down now. However, it's kind of sad that she didn't feel like she could talk to him about their relationship status. She's basically telling women that they should let desirable men use them for sex while silently hoping that a sex buddies setup turns into something more. Her method of landing a guy isn't the best one to follow since most men will just take advantage of the situation until they get bored with it. But at least it worked for her and John.
Do you think that joining the Mile High Club is a fun achievement that's worth celebrating, or do you think that it's kind of gross? And what do you think of the way Chrissy and John got together?

While it has long been recognized that extreme stress can bring on a heart attack, more focus needs to be placed on the emotional impact experienced after one, especially among younger women according to Dr. Viola Vaccarino, Wilton Looney Chair of cardiovascular research in Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health.
After her recent study involving 49 men and women ages 38-50, Vaccarino found that having a heart attack had more of a psychological impact on women ages 50 years and younger, causing them to be twice as likely to experience more emotional stress afterwards than their male contemporaries. As a result they were more prone to suffer inadequate blood flow to the heart (Ischemia) than the men. All participants had suffered from heart attacks within 6 months prior to the study, and were subjected standard exercise, stress tests to measure cardiac responses to acute emotional disturbances.
While "concerns involving poverty, minority race and depression were more common among younger women, they did not adequately explain why they were more vulnerable to Ischemia, other than indicating that the females may be at more psychological risk from heart attacks," Vaccarino stated.

HT Localization Presents Language Translations for Real Life: Localization of Colors Around the World – A Business Perspective
- Details
- Published on Thursday, November 15 2012 01:31
- Written by HT Localization
Segment 9 - Localization of Colors Around the World – A Business Perspective
In the last article, I discussed the cultural influence of colors and why localization of colors should first be understood from a cultural perspective. In this segment, I will elaborate on colors and share how the cultural factors have impacted business decisions.
But before I begin, I want to answer a burning question from the last article: "Can we wear black to the wedding?"
As some of you may know from my earlier article, Translations in a Big Fat International Wedding, I had a relatively large international wedding in Bangkok with guests from virtually every continent represented. In the last article, Localization of Colors Around the World, I discussed the many cultural meanings of the color black. While I personally, find the color to represent elegance, it is not considered the most appropriate color to wear to a Thai wedding - if you want to show respect and wish the bride and groom marital bliss and happiness. Although I probably wouldn't have been personally offended, it was too difficult to ignore my cultural influences; hence, my response to my wondering guests was to wear extremely bright, brilliant and flashy colors: fuchsia, gold, silver, electric blues, yellows in Thai silk. I love the bright colors and the mood of the reception was energizing!
Now back to localization of colors with a business perspective… Many global companies looking to expand often explore popular "business" colors:
Blue, Green, Orange
When asked why Facebook chose blue, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook responded..."I'm color blind; it's the only color I can see." Blue is a color often associated with peace, tranquility, trust, loyalty, inspiration, confidence, comfort, conservatism , stability, sadness, depression and mourning. The pharaohs of ancient Egypt wore blue for protection against evil, and in Europe it is associated with royal lineage (blue blood). In Western societies, the color blue is used to invoke trust. Police officers and the Air Forces in some Western countries wear blue to give an aura of trust and protection. The Blue Cross & Blue Shield brand represents trust, protection and stability in its image, which is paramount for a health insurance brand. Many banks and business consulting firms like to use the color blue to represent their brand's stability, trust and fidelity (ie. Citibank Blue, Chase Manhattan blue, France' s Carte bleue). However, blue, like black is also associated with death, sadness and mourning in many cultures. In Asian countries, even the specific shade of blue can be critical, as it can imply death or immortality.
For example, in the 1950's, the soft drink Pepsi took a critical hit to its market share against Coca-Cola, after changing its vending machine colors from a deep blue to light ice blue. Experts have attributed the lost in market share to the region's association of light blue to death. Nobody wants to drink a beverage that implies death! Localization of colors has not been Pepsi's only challenge in Asia (ie. Come Alive with Pepsi campaign in China, implied bringing ancestors back from the dead – immortality is also risky business).
Nonetheless, blue remains a popular business color, and is considered one of the safest color choices for brands. Some companies heavily using blue in their marketing images include IBM (big blue), Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.
Green is another interesting color with respect to culture and localization for business. While green may represents all things natural, environmental, healthy, masculine, soothing, lucky, prosperous, vitality, youth, generosity, fertility, money, food, hope, growth, freshness, youth, sharing and responsiveness, its negative connotations are also very strong: jealousy, inexperience, envy, misfortune, greed, constriction, guilt.
In the U.S. green is associated with money and prosperity, while in some parts of North Africa, it is associated with corruption. For Koreans, the color green represents wealth and fortune; hence many Korean storefronts are green to draw prosperity and success to the business.
It is not very clear as to why green has a negative connotation for packaging in some countries, but studies have found that green is not a good color choice for packaging in China and France, which implies that it is also not a good choice for online marketing in these countries. Perhaps it has to do to the connotation of green for sickness or nausea in the Far East. As for France, the color normally symbolizes hope but it is also heavily associated to bad luck because in the past, cyanide was used in the chemical process to produce this color for dyes, which resulted in many deaths (ie. the French playwright Moliere was said to have been wearing a green costume when he died on stage).
However, one international brand that has attributed its success to the color green is Garnier Fructis. This brand has not only managed to embrace the color green, but has successfully capitalized on its eco-friendly theme in virtually every country represented, its bright green shampoo bottles can be found proudly displayed in super market aisles across the globe. They have smartly localized their packaging in France and China using white packaging accented with green images of nature. Moreover, they are reinforcing the positive green connotations relating to organics, nature and Feng Shui in their product packaging (The Chinese Feng Shui meaning of green includes: Yin, Wood, growing energy, refreshing, nurturing, balancing, harmony normalizing, healing, health, peaceful, calming).
Orange elicits feelings of warmth, balance, encouragement, enthusiasm, vibrant, expansive, flamboyant, confidence, friendliness, cheerfulness, excitement, energy fun times, adaptability, happy energetic days and ambition. It can represent fruitfulness and prosperity.
It is a sacred color in India and the color worn by Buddhist monks in several southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Cambodia and Laos, and it invokes thoughts relating to spirituality or religion in some cultures. The color has a strong association with Northern Ireland's Orange Order, a Protestant Loyalist group. The France Telecom mobile company, Orange recognized this critical point when in the 1990's, as the company was preparing for its launch in Ireland, their successful ad campaign "The Future is Bright – the Future is Orange" was changed to avoid political/religious connotations by the Irish Catholic population.
ING Direct attributes its global branding success to its fresh new way of banking, as symbolized by their bright orange ball. In fact, they position themselves as having an Orange culture. As described on their company website: ING DIRECT has established an Orange culture that is fuelled by innovation, growth, and collaboration. These are values that drive positive change, making a difference for individuals, communities, and the world. ING Direct has not only revolutionized banking, but has been able to succeed in global markets by reclaiming the inspiring attribute of the color orange. In the U.S., the color orange's connotation formerly implied cheap; ING Direct has taken that and reinvented the connotation to imply refreshing, invigorating, cost-effective and smart.
In the food industry, orange is an appetite stimulant, and using orange decor can help encourage restaurant sales. Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain and stimulates mental activity. It is a youthful color popular amongst a younger generation. Who knows this more than anyone?
Check out McDonald's international websites and color schemes. While the Golden Arches remain the key symbol of American fast food, each international website presents a slightly different color scheme for each country. McDonald's Golden Arches appear against a red background in its Chinese website, making it appear orange, rather than yellow. In India, the background ranges from shades of red to orange. Walk into a modern international McDonald's restaurant and one will see that the once popular neon yellows and bright reds are becoming a thing of the past, and are more often replaced with subtle hues of oranges, reds, yellows and even greens.
So when it comes to understanding global marketing success, one must take a deep look at the local culture and color preferences. Color localization is part of successful business expansion and can often make or break a successful brand image. Companies such as Pepsi have experienced a few bumps along the path to globalization, but have successfully learned and regained its leadership position in the beverage industry. Citibank and ING Direct have successfully inspired trust amongst its banking constituents, leveraging colors to deliver completely different messages: confidence in blue and dynamic in orange. Other companies like Garnier Fructis, have managed to take its local understanding of color and have discovered how to minimize the negative responses by attaching positive color associations to invoke more desirable responses from its local consumers.
As I purported in my last segment, the key to successful color understanding and localization boils down to a cultural understanding first. Color is not only a marketing analysis effort, but also a cultural one. Color must first be understood as a human factor, and like words in a language, colors have a distinct meaning to different people. Many successful global businesses understand that, however many others still continue to learn the hard way.

Political changes from 2012 reverberated into 2013 among the Jeffco commissioners, with an opposing political view spicing debates over several key issues.
The addition of Casey Tighe, the first Democrat elected to the Board of County Commissioners since 2006, gave Commissioner Don Rosier a sparring partner on several issues, including whether Jeffco should raise taxes and whether the county should be on the record as opposed to new gun laws.
Littleton Fire Rescue and the City Council honored a local letter carrier last week with the John P. Cernich Lifesaving Award.
Postal worker Louise Devers noticed last summer that an elderly man on her route had not checked his mail for three days. Devers, fearing the man was in trouble, talked to a neighbor, who called 911.
Walking in a winter wonderland took on a whole new meaning over the weekend as people braved the frigid temperatures to take in a Hudson Christmas at Hudson Gardens.
The light show drew holiday revelers despite temperatures that hovered near zero during the evenings. But the cold weather was actually part of the appeal for some.
Story and Photograph by Chancey Bush
As the sun set behind the mountains, darkness settled over downtown Littleton — but not for long. More than 1 million twinkling lights illuminated the trees and the glowing smiles of eager youngsters waiting for an early glimpse of Santa Claus.
The holiday spirit swept over Littleton as thousands gathered downtown on Friday night for the 30th annual Candlelight Walk and Tree Lighting tradition.
The Littleton Museum is in the holiday spirit, and it shows.
The museum spent the weekend adorning its two historic farmhouses with authentic decorations used during early Christmases in Littleton.
And while both farmhouses lack the typical modern mayhem of flashing lights and inflatable snowmen, a stark contrast is evident between the 1860s and 1890s decorations, said Andrea Wilhelm, a historical interpreter at the museum.
It takes more than just the will to help and the desire to give to feed thousands of people.
It also takes an assembly line that would have made Henry Ford proud.
Inside the small gym at South Jeffco's Abiding Hope Lutheran Church on Nov. 22, 100 volunteers, many of them children, lined up along two banks of tables set up between hundreds of pallets of food.
Eileen Schoenberger, a member of the church, shouted instructions before the assembly line got moving.
As 16-month-old Aislynne stood on the courtroom table in front of Jeffco Judge Ann Gail Meinster on Nov. 21, her soon-to-be mother, Jena, straightened the young girl's new dress.
Everyone in the courtroom laughed as Aislynne danced on the table, clapping her tiny hands to an unheard rhythm.
"Well, let's make her yours officially," Meinster told Jena through laughter.
Some people define success not by the presence of monetary gain but by the absence of constraints — in other words, the freedom to pursue their dreams.
For Todd McFarlane, legendary comic book creator and owner of McFarlane Toys, success has meant the freedom to work without the constraints of others' limitations.
It might seem counterintuitive, but for many beekeepers, taking care of a hive isn't just about the sweet reward.
Instead, it's born of a fascination with a creature that so much of our daily sustenance depends upon.
Bees, along with other insects and birds, pollinate 35 percent of the world's food crops. Yet the number of bees in the world has dropped drastically in recent years.
The decline made Joanie Bock want to put a beehive in her Littleton backyard.
Marie Rugg was one of the countless patriots who volunteered to help our country during World War II.
But on this Veterans Day, Rugg's story stands out as special. She was in the first wave of women to sign up for the U.S. Marines when women were allowed to join the corps.
"I wanted to volunteer to free a man to fight," said Rugg, who now lives in an apartment at the Gardens at Columbine assisted-living facility. "I just wanted to do something for my country."
Jefferson County's Human Services Department is looking for some good samaritans this holiday season.
The Holiday Giving Sponsor-A-Family Program matches donors with families receiving services from the county's Division of Children, Youth and Families, said Korina Keating, Human Services' volunteer coordinator.
A donor receives two lists for the family being shopped for — one of needs and one of wants, Keating said.
As the judges compiled their notes, the costumed contestants sniffed out the competition.
It was a fierce battle. But when all was said and done, Leo, an 8-month-old puppy in a lion outfit, was obviously the top dog among the dozen or so canines competing for title of cutest.
The competition was part of the final event of the UFO World Cup Frisbee Dog Series, held Saturday at Clement Park and hosted by the Colorado Disc Dogs.
The group descended on the backyard in south Littleton during the early-morning calm of the weekend.
Armed with rakes and saws, plastic bags and hammers, the two dozen volunteers attacked a large pile of junk in back of the house.
The husband and wife who own the home, and who wished to remain nameless, have lived in the house for 43 years. The husband, a former engineer, had collected various items over the years that he either intended to fix or turn into something new.
It isn't fall until there are pumpkins.
There were more than a few pumpkin hunters looking for the perfect canvas for their Halloween art on Saturday at Littleton's annual Harvest Festival pumpkin patch.
"The kids love to come out here and look for pumpkins," said Betsy Reagan of Littleton. "It's hard to say no to the kids when they find the perfect pumpkin."
Christina Garza's paternal grandfather, who worked in a uranium mine, was diagnosed with liver cancer when she was 4. He died a year later.
Garza knew then her calling was to be a doctor.
Littleton is known for its genteel small-town ways — even the walking dead obey the traffic laws.
About 300 zombies weaved their way through downtown Saturday, led by a Dixieland jazz band playing a funeral dirge, as part of the fourth annual Zombie Crawl and Pig Roast.
While most zombie hoards tend to cause mayhem and destruction, this band of undead stuck to the sidewalks and obeyed the traffic lights.
Students at Montessori School at Ken Caryl have learned the hard way that sometimes Halloween can be more about tricks than treats.
A 40-pound pumpkin that the students in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten had grown in hopes of raffling off to raise money for classroom activities was vandalized in mid-September.
One by one, the balloons joined an airborne procession above Clement Park as they floated toward the horizon. As each name was read aloud, a person in the crowd of about 1,000 released another balloon that rose and joined the rest.
More than 450 names were read Saturday at A Walk to Remember. Each balloon carried the name of an infant who died, either as a stillborn baby, from SIDS or from a life-shortening illness.
The rainy, chilly afternoon on Sept. 27 gave way to a warm gesture of compassion, as the Front Range Christian School community presented more than $2,600 in bake-sale proceeds to the Lyons High Lions.
Lyons, one of the towns hit hardest by September's floods, saw roads swallowed and families displaced, leaving the community to pick up and start over amid the chaos of destruction.
But not alone.
The important thing is not to panic. And to remember that you won't starve to death.
Because you're surrounded by corn.
The Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield has laid out a perplexing course for its corn maze this year, the 14th installment of the popular populist puzzle. The labyrinth is spread out over 8 acres of maize, and hints are sprinkled throughout.
"Follow the hints; they're really helpful," said volunteer Dale Huffner. "Of course, that's unless you want to get lost in there."

Very disappointed! Do not dare ask if they sell cocktails - they don't and are quite happy for you to leave rather than suggest a nice wine to try from their wine menu. Given the place was empty at 10pm on a Saturday night you would think they would be more obliging! Not sure what sort of clientele they think they will be attracting - their wine list set out in a 'Dr Suess book' is doesn't match anything else about the place. 5 minutes after walking in we were so offended by the rude and pretentious bartenders we left for Small Bar. Will not be returning until they think long and hard about how they treat their customers - pick your game up guys!
cool, unique fitout - that has to be seen, friendly service, great back bar. what more could you want?
Dim. That's the first impression of Foxtrot. The lighting (or lack thereof) takes some adjustment, but once you stumble through the white arched door into the gloom, you encover an absolute humdinger of a bar. Full of faux-antique wooden chairs, lounges and tables with walls that vary from the post-modern to retro art and gallery nouveau, the ambience is instant and the vibe startingly lo-fi. Foxtrot is a place that grows on you though. Grab a drink, sit down on a velvet covered ottoman or an inside outdoor lawn chair in the upstairs garden terrace and just chill the hell out. It's quiet, the music inobtrusive. It's dim, the lighting if anything bordering on an OHS violation. But it's calm, it's civilised, there's no blaring house music, the bartenders can hear you when you order and the decor is delectable. It's like your best friend's schmick lounge room. So go, chill. Sit down. Read a book, talk about architecture or eighteenth-century literature. Discuss indie bands you've never heard or that friend of your brother's who paints two-dimensional sculptures. Frankly, the real world is far, far less interesting than any conversation you could have within the undoubtedly funky walls of Foxtrot.
