Worth Says S&P 500 Direction Is 'Coin Toss': Technical Analysis
Stocks could go either way and anyone who claims to know their future is lying, according to Carter Worth, the third-ranked technical analyst in last year's Institutional Investor survey.
A monthlong gain in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index has left bulls and bears at a "a perfect standoff," Oppenheimer & Co.'s Worth wrote in a note yesterday. It's a "coin toss" as to whether the index will increase or retreat, he said.
Worth's ambivalence highlights the challenge for investors as earnings rise at the fastest rate in 22 years even amid signs the economy is faltering. The S&P 500 rallied as much as 9.2 percent from its Dec. 31 close this year and dropped as much as 8.3 percent. It climbed 0.6 percent yesterday to 1,127.79, up 1.1 percent for 2010.
"This is the elegant, exquisite moment that you'll see a handful of in your lifetime," Worth said in an interview. "Anyone who says to you, 'I know where it's going,' they're lying to themselves and they're lying to their clients."
After gaining 11 percent from the 2010 intraday low on July 1, the S&P 500 ended last week at 1,121.64, close to its average level during the prior 150 days, according to data compiled by Oppenheimer and Bloomberg. The benchmark index approached its June 21 intraday high of 1,131.23 for the third time this month. While surpassing the June peak may herald more gains, breaking below the Aug. 6 intraday low of 1,107.17 would mean the rally since July 2 may be at risk of ending, according to Worth.
2007 Peak
Worth uses the 150-day average to gauge a bull or bear market. Using this tool, he called the start of the U.S. bear market on Nov. 9, 2007, one month after the S&P 500 peaked at a record high of 1,565.15.
The S&P 500 fell 12 percent in the second quarter, trimming its gain since March 2009 to 52 percent, on concern economic growth in the U.S. and China is slowing. The index has gained 9.4 percent since then.
"The market is trying to figure out are we on a cusp of an important intermediate advance, or decline?" Worth said. "From the things I spend time looking at, it's literally neither fish nor fowl."
Cash at S&P 500 companies has risen six straight quarters to $836.8 billion as executives fired workers and reduced capital spending, according to S&P. Earnings at the same companies will increase 35 percent in 2010, the biggest annual gain since 1988, more than 8,000 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg show.
Beating Estimates
Of the 443 companies in the S&P 500 that reported results through Aug. 6, 76 percent exceeded analysts' forecasts, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The rate marks the fifth straight quarter in which more than 70 percent of companies have topped projections, the data show.
While income is rising faster than predicted, the economy has showed signs of slowing. Private employers added 71,000 workers in July, down from this year's high of 241,000 in April, the Labor Department said last week. The number of contracts to purchase previously owned houses unexpectedly fell in June, figures from the National Association of Realtors showed.
"It's a standoff between those who have a view that's constructive and bullish, and those who say 'No, something is not right,'" Worth said. "We're probably going to be here longer than it's almost bearable."

I`m looking for opinion which one is better for building web applications(web sites). I have some experience with Django, and some with Google App Engine and App-Engine-Patch for Django. And it seems to me that only Django is working faster than the GAE implementation. Is there some other frameworks that simplify the developments process, providing forms creating, user management, url resolving etc.
Thanks in advance, Ilian Iliev
P.S. I am also interested in GAE and webapp framework case

Research on the transition from school to work suggests that students entering the workplace struggle to adapt their writing and speaking to individual audiences. To address this problem, the article presents principles for using problem-based learning to design assignments that teach students to tailor communication to the needs of audiences. The approach focuses not on specific workplace documents but on the higher order workplace practice of effectively connecting documents and presentations to audience needs, and designing communication accordingly. A two-year study of capstone design courses suggests that the approach encourages students to explicitly consider audience needs when composing.

Altered front, based on the medium size (which is light blue and right in the middle of the range). On the right, you can see the part of the pattern that is cut on the fold at CF and that forms the twist. I shifted the entire thing up 2 3/8" and re-trued the curve of the neckline and the lower CF seam. I've also sloped the front shoulder a small amount and added width to the side seam at the hip. The shoulder-neck, underarm, and CF-hem points remain exactly where they were on the original.
Before I tacked it together, there was a hole under the twist. I've put this in front of a lamp so it shows up. This seems likely to happen whenever the fabric is at least somewhat lightweight.

New Halo 4 Enemies Revealed by McFarlane Toys Packaging?
Written Saturday, May 12, 2012 By Dan WebbView author's profile
An image has surfaced on the interwebs this weekend revealing the back of a package of one of McFarlane Toys' Halo 4 figurines.
Great, right? Well, the eagle-eyed amongst you out there will notice two things straight off the bat. Yes, that's right, it seems to reveal what looks like two new enemies: the Crawler and the Watcher.
The Crawler, as you can see in the image below, looks like a four-legged creature of some sort with glowing yellow patches on its face and body. The Watcher on the other hand, well, that just looks like an abomination... we can't tell if it's a winged beast or that's a shield of some sort.
You may also notice the Spartan Soldier as well in the blue armour with the Knight Rider style visor.
For now, we'll chalk this down as a rumour, but let's be honest, the packaging speaks for itself. Whether they'll appear in Halo 4 is the question you should be asking. Our answer: we'd like to think so. Check out the image of the packaging below.
If you want more Halo, then you can also check out our latest Halo 4 interview straight below too!

Photo of the Week: Cocoa Transforms a Peruvian Community
September 13, 2013
For Geister Cachique and other farmers in Las Mercedes, cocoa represents a prosperous and sustainable future.
Geister Cachique, in blue, prepares to process cocoa beans after a harvest in Las Mercedes, Peru. Like many in his community, Geister used to depend on coca plants, which can be processed into cocaine, to earn a living. But seeking an alternative to the crime, fear and uncertainty that came with coca cultivation, local farmers began planting cocoa trees.
In 2011, Geister and other members of the Cocoa Producers Association of Las Mercedes began working with TechnoServe to improve their productivity and incomes. Through TechnoServe's trainings, they learned proper techniques for pruning and fertilizing their trees, and best practices for harvesting and processing. Thanks to these improvements, Geister's cocoa productivity has doubled, and he is receiving a higher price for his cocoa.
"I am working to send my children to college," says Geister. "Most of all, I want them to be proud because this money will be earned with dignity and free from violence."
TechnoServe is facilitating training for Geister and thousands of other farmers through the Economic Development Alliance in San Martín, a program funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development.

From Booklist
"A gripping survival thriller...Cameron unspools the adventure in Anna's twitchy voice, heightening the tension as the youngsters battle storms, cold, hunger and fear...But this agonizing odyssey of loss and being lost has humor...The book's anguished yet hopeful ending provides a touching terminus...This expertly crafted novel could do for camping what Jaws did for swimming."―Richard Eisenberg, People (4 out of 4 stars)
"A page turner...Like Emma Donoghue's Room...The Bear creates suspense out of the gap between what Anna knows and what the reader suspects...The story is laced with humor and moments of joy and triumph as well as fear and sorrow...So gripping that it is hard to put the novel down."―Margaret Quamme, Columbus Dispatch
"Read this book in one sitting...Taut and engrossing...Cameron proves masterly in the creation of a child's fractured world view, as familiar as it is unexpected, as observant as it is naive...Cameron's resonant plot and Anna's unforgettable voice add up to a novel destined to stay with you long after you've chewed through it."―Jared Bland, The Globe and Mail
"Visceral...Cameron reminds us how tenuous is our mastery of the natural world."―Christine Fischer Guy, The Millions
"A gut-wrenching trip through the Canadian wilderness with a 5-year-old as your guide, a roller coaster of emotions...Heart-wrenching...I had to force myself to slow down and not race through pages...Cameron does an exquisite job with Anna's story...Very engaging. Bittersweet, and lovely. If you liked the childlike voice of Room, you'll be captivated here."―Kelly Konrad, Chicago Now
"A vividly portrayed wilderness ordeal...all seen through the eyes of a child...Uplifting."―Publishers Weekly, "Pick of the Week"
"A slam-bang opening...Scary...Darkly funny...Touching...Harrowing but ultimately hopeful."―Kirkus Reviews
"Harrowing...A sort of youngster stream of consciousness...Touchingly voiced courageousness...From the conception to the execution, the book is an exploration of anguish from a child's point of view, shaded and shaped by Cameron."―Eloise Kinney, Booklist
"The concerns of the young narrator - being good, remaining brave when her parents and her teddy bear are gone, how annoying her brother is - are an engaging, focused lens through which to view events in the novel...This is a fast, compelling read for nature lovers."―Gwen Vredevoogd, Library Journal (Starred Review)
"An emotional tour de force. Claire Cameron's The Bear offers us an unforgettable child narrator who propels us through a story as unsettling as it is bone-chilling, and as suspenseful as it is moving."―Megan Abbott, author of Dare Me
"The Bear is a taut and touching story of how a child's love and denial become survival skills. Claire Cameron takes a fairytale situation of children pitted against the wilderness, removes the fairies, and adds a terrifying and ravenous bear. I devoured this wonderful new novel in one day."―Charlotte Rogan, author of the national bestseller The Lifeboat
"Claire Cameron has written a chilling, beautiful, voice-driven novel, one that will turn your blood cold, make you laugh, and remind you of all the ways you are human. Most importantly she honors the complexity of our relationship with nature, the ways we are humbled by it and tethered to it. A vivid, potent, and unforgettable novel."―Megan Mayhew Bergman, author of Birds of a Lesser Paradise
"Claire Cameron plunges us in to the dark terrors of the wilderness. The Bear is a survival story that is heart-pounding and moving. I devoured this book."―Tanis Rideout, author of Above All Things
"The Bear faultlessly captures the wonder, bewilderment, fear and self-centeredness of five-year-old Anna, and beautifully balances the darkness of her tale with a hopeful, sensitively told back story and moments when she grasps her situation with just enough clarity to shoulder her burden."―Cathy Marie Buchanan, author of The Painted Girls
"Thrilling and harrowing...I couldn't put this book down. And I must say that the ending was so right, I caught myself holding my breath. A remarkable novel."―Anthony De Sa, author of Kicking the Sky
"Harrowing suspense. The Bear is a survival thriller that is told from a child's-eye point-of-view, which is not only convincing but doubles the tension. A heartbreaking, white-knuckle read."―Andrew Pyper, author of The Demonologist
"The Bear is a harrowing and endlessly hopeful novel-an unforgettable hymn to the legacy of familial love. Claire Cameron is alive to mind of the child. Her assured evocation of soon-to-be-six-year-old Anna hits all the right notes: the connective web of association and analogy; the permeable skin between truth and story; the immersive experience of time. This is subtle magic-the transportive spell of a pitch-perfect narrative voice. We witness the unfolding of events through Anna's eyes while simultaneously watching over her small shoulder, hearts in our mouths. The Bear is no fable, gentle reader. A source of terror and lonely solace, Cameron's fur-clad villain threatens from without and from within. Like our unwilling heroine, we must be very, very brave."―Alissa York, author of Fauna
"A hauntingly beautiful novel about the unspoken bond between mothers and children."―Miriam Toews, author of A Complicated Kindness, The Flying Troutmans, and Irma Voth

Montgomery Ave, a narrow one-way street running off Dundas St
behind the University of Otago's new child-care centre, has
been closed off in recent times due to work on the centre and
flood works on the St David St Bridge.
The Otago Regional Council has proposed closing the road
permanently to allow for the river to be widened at its right
bank and creating a 2m-wide walkway linking Dundas St and St
David St and providing pedestrian access to the rear of the
child-care centre.
It also proposed to turn a short section of the road at the
Dundas St end into a private driveway to allow firefighting
and maintenance access to the centre.
To do this, the regional council needs the approval of the
city council and it was proposed a memorandum of
understanding between the two councils and the university
covering the expectations and obligations of each be agreed
A report to the city council said it was expected the impact
of stopping the road would be minimal, even though it
averaged 80 vehicle movements a day.
Since the road was closed due to the construction work and
the temporary pedestrian bridge, there had been ''no apparent
traffic issue as a consequence'' of the temporary closure, it
Stopping the road would result in the loss of 13 car parking
spaces but those who had parked there had already found other
parking options since the road closed.
The closure was expected to improve the pedestrian experience
and safety, the report said.
''The new path will be 2m wide, better lit and safer with the
traffic removed.''
It was hoped the work could begin in November this year,
after exams finished, if all agreements and final design work
were in place.

I am familiar with Montgomery as the cut from Leith/Dundas to
Campus. Hard to perambulate as the pedestrian footpath is
residential parking. There is a school of thought, admittedly
from Christchurch, that cars obstructing entire footpaths can
simply be walked over, from bonnet to roof and down the boot.

A pensioner frustrated with his daily delivery of mail
declaring lottery wins wants to warn others of the scams.
John Alderman, of South Dunedin, said in the past three weeks
he had been sent 55 letters from scammers.
''I got four yesterday.''
The letters promise prizes of up to $100,000.
But to claim the winning cheque the recipient is told to send
a $75 administration fee to companies in Malaysia, the
Netherlands, the United States or Australia.
Most of the letters were sent from Auckland company Chel - a
business not registered with the New Zealand Companies
The scam letters had been arriving since Christmas and Mr
Alderman's repeated requests for companies to stop sending
letters were in vain, he said.
He visited New Zealand Post yesterday to ask how to stop the
mail onslaught.
Dunedin Delivery Leader Lyz Harvey said ''regrettably''
postal operators could not intercept scam mail because the
Postal Services Act required them to deliver addressed mail.
''If you get a letter like this, throw it away and hopefully
over time they'll get the message that they're wasting their
time,'' Mrs Harvey said.
Age Concern Otago chief executive Susan Davidson said it was
''mind-boggling'' how many scammers targeted pensioners in
Otago. The family of a scammed pensioner had sought her
Ms Davidson said people who wanted less marketing material in
their letterbox could put their name on the Marketing
Association ''do not mail'' list.
A Marketing Association spokeswoman said ''reputable''
marketing companies subscribed to the list to ensure
marketing material was not delivered to listed people.
However, she doubted the companies targeting Mr Alderman
would be subscribers.
Don't be swindled
Never send any money following an unexpected prize or lottery
Do not call any numbers given to check if a lottery or
competition is genuine.
Be cautious about giving out your personal details, bank
details, mobile phone numbers or email address.
Do not open junk emails or click on their contents. Just
delete them. Do not click to unsubscribe.
Ignore unsolicited texts or missed calls from unknown
Be wary of unsolicited approaches from psychics.

I like Ham's advice on dealing with lottery scam mail.
I'd like to suggest an adaptation. 'Mark it
up "return to sender: deceased" ' yourself. That
way you're keeping two Posties busy, and the
senders get their own mailboxes cluttered then have to
dispose of their own scam mail!
Ask your Postie really nicely and/or offer them some
cake and they'll mark it up "return to sender: deceased".
The scammers know they cant make money from a dead
person so stop pretty darn quick.
Failing that, just enjoy the fact that there's something in
your mailbox and you're keeping a Postie busy.

A woman who's interested in you is more likely to go back to your place than a motel. This gives you a chance to seduce her, whereas, in most cases, women will flat out reject the motel idea. Hence having your own pad essentially gives you a "fighting" chance at flirting your way into the bedroom.
Lack of confidence
Because you can't take a woman home, your self-confidence will be lower, considering your odds of taking a woman back to a motel are a lot lower than convincing her to head back to your place for "coffee." So more often than not, you'll be doubting your chances of scoring, which will eventually become a self-defeating handicap
You can't keep doing it
Okay, now let's assume you lucked out and convinced a woman to go back to a motel and she loved the experience so much that she wants a booty call relationship. How can you possibly do this if you're still living at home with your parents?
Parties aren't a possibility
Most men underestimate the value of house parties. By hosting your own event and inviting friends — and their friends — over for some fun, you'll increase your odds of meeting, and bedding, new women tenfold.
in the meantime...So you finally understand the importance of having a place of your own, and the role it plays in today's dating scene. In the meantime, here are some spots to take your prospects to until you finally find a place to call your own:
Her place: Ask her if she lives in the neighborhood, and then offer to give her a lift home. By this time, she's already made up her mind about whether or not to sleep with you. If she invites you in, then you have nothing to worry about.
Your car: Try steaming up the windows. Then once you're done, you can simply drop her off at home.
A friend's place: Ask a wingman to lend you the keys to his place. Just don't forget to give him some cash to spend on a motel for the night.
Your office: If you have the keys to the office (and you know you won't get caught), offer to show her where you work — especially if she seemed interested in your job during your conversation. Women dig the office routine — especially if it's a few stories high with a great view.
But what if she suggests going back to your place?
If you have no choice, here are two realistic, short-term excuses you can use:
1- You have a roommate. Women are usually shy about meeting roommates on the first night, and will gladly opt out of heading to your place.
2- You have family or friends in from out of town. The fact that company might hear her (should something happen) will likely deter her from egging you on about heading to your pad.
do whatcha gotta doExcuses are not the best choice, but given the situation, you're better off lying to a woman than admitting that you still live at home with your parents. In the meantime, start looking for a place of your own.
"If you want them to put out, you've got to move out."

Pittsford murder suspect attempts suicide in jailStaff Report | July 19,2013A Pittsford man awaiting trial in jail on a charge of murdering his girlfriend tried to hang himself in his jail cell, according to a Vermont Department of Corrections official.
Christopher Sharrow, 35, was taken to a Boston hospital after an unsuccessful suicide attempt, according to Al Cormier, superintendent of the St. Johnsbury jail where Sharrow has been incarcerated since his arraignment on July 8.
Cormier said he didn't know which hospital Sharrow was taken to, but he believed he was in stable condition.
Sharrow pleaded innocent to a second-degree murder charge brought by prosecutors who say he beat and strangled Kristen Parker, 32, who he lived with along with her three children. Sharrow is the father of two of Parker's children.MORE IN This Just In

Since a lot of people seem to have trouble with the idea of "political correctness," I thought I'd post a short guide to what it means to be politically correct. You know, so everyone can be on the same page as far as what people are complaining about. It's a short list. "Political correctness" means simply that you
- Understand and agree that merely being different is not, in itself, doing anyone any harm, and
- Recognize that it's wrong to punish people who are doing no harm, even if they are different.
And that's it. That's what all the fuss is about. When people complain about political correctness, as if it were some kind of horrible tyranny, what they're saying is that they object to one or both of these elementary moral principles. [Read more…]

Has anyone brought/used baby bottle warmers? :D
I was wondering if it was worth the buy & why? and if so, which one do you reccomend?Ā
Thanks!! I keep on getting mixed advice on whether to buy or not to buy ~_~
Never had one with my son. I BFed at first and I would just run frozen breastmilk under warm water to warm it up. When we used formula I just used room temp. water. I don't think they are really necessary IMO. We got by without one.

I think the one for the car can be useful at times but I haven't seen one in years.┬Ā┬Ā If anyone comes across one, let me know ;)

I put one on my registry, which has been bought, but I'm debating keeping it or exchanging for something else...┬Ā I will be BF'ing, but when I go back to work the baby will need to be bottle fed refigerated or frozen/thawed breastmilk. However... I personally don't see why just using warm/hot water to warm to the desired temperature wouldn't work just as well. About the only reason I even put the warmer on the registry was to appease certain people in the family who think they are necessary because I didn't feel like fighting with them over it...

I actually like mine. We had it for DD who was formula fed, and refused room temp stuff even from the get go. This time I'm also nursing, and she also won't drink room temperature things. If I do a bottle downstairs, I just heat the water in the microwave for a few seconds first. But when I've done them in the middle of the night, the bottle warmer has been a great luxury. I pop in a bottle, change her, get ourselves situated, and in the couple of minutes that takes the bottle is nice and warm without having to go downstairs. Saves me a middle of the night trek through the house.┬Ā
Mommy to 2 amazing miracles.
2 failed IVF cycles (cp), 2 failed FETs (cp), 2 successful donor embryo cycles, and...
I have to pump, he won't latch.┬Ā So since BM has to be stored in the fridge,┬ĀI use one.┬Ā You are not supposed to microwave breastmilk because it destroys some of the nutrients.┬Ā I┬Ā bought a Munchkin brand at WalMart for about $20.┬Ā It works just fine, only takes about 1-2 minutes to warm up a bottle of refrigerated BM.┬Ā┬ĀI don't┬Ālet it get very┬Āwarm, just enough to take the┬Āchill out of it.┬Ā
If┬ĀI didn't pump and just used formula, then it would be a different story.┬Ā┬ĀI┬Āwould probably use┬Āluke-warm tap water, or microwave w/ a good shake to make sure no hot-spots. ┬Ā┬Ā

Japan's Intervention Odds Rise Even as Kan Stays, JPMorgan Says
The odds that Japan will intervene in the currency market have doubled even after the election loss of a prime minister candidate calling for such action to weaken the yen, JPMorgan Chase & Co. says.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan yesterday defeated a leadership challenge from party rival Ichiro Ozawa, who pledged intervention for the first time in six years to support exporters. Kan hasn't called specifically for yen sales, instead saying last week that he is ready to act as needed to curb the currency's 11 percent surge against the dollar since mid-May.
"Politically, it's more stable than before the party election and that may make it easier" to conduct intervention, said Tohru Sasaki, head of Japan rates and foreign-exchange research in Tokyo at JPMorgan. Sasaki, who is a former head currency trader at Japan's central bank, figures the odds of intervention have doubled to 30 percent after the Democratic Party of Japan election.
The Japanese currency appreciated yesterday to a 15-year high against the dollar, threatening an economic recovery powered mostly by growing exports. The government yesterday revised its July industrial output figures to show that output fell rather than increased from a month earlier, as corporate leaders express concerns about the outlook for overseas sales.
The yen gained for a second day yesterday in Tokyo on speculation that Kan's election had diminished the odds of intervention, trading at 83.30 as of 6:44 p.m. in Tokyo. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average slipped 0.2 percent to 9,299.31.
Little Choice
While Kan had refrained from Ozawa's specific endorsement of yen sales, there may be little choice, said Masafumi Yamamoto, chief currency strategist at Barclays Bank Plc in Tokyo.
"The likelihood for intervention is rising," Yamamoto, who also used to work at the Bank of Japan, wrote in a report two days ago. "I don't see any other measure to address deflation and a slowing economy."
Japanese Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda said last week that the government has about 32 trillion yen ($384 billion) in unrealized losses in its foreign-exchange account, used to fund intervention. Japan last sold yen in March 2004, when it was around 109 per dollar.
Yamamoto calculated that Japan has about 35 trillion available for intervention during the year through March, about equivalent to the amount it used between January 2003 and March 2004 to weaken the yen.
Companies Complain
Top business executives have been calling for government action to stem the yen's rise.
"We want verbal or actual intervention if the yen appreciates more than the current level," Hiromasa Yonekura, head of Japan's Keidanren business lobby, said at a Sept. 13 press conference. "Rapid change should be managed," Hiroaki Nakanishi, president of Hitachi Ltd., said this week in Tokyo.
Some analysts have said that official action by Japan might not weaken the yen for long unless it's conducted together with overseas authorities.
Kan said last week in a debate with Ozawa that getting international cooperation to halt the yen's rise is "difficult."
"I see little chance of Japan conducting intervention," said Hiromichi Shirakawa, chief Japan economist at Credit Suisse Group AG in Tokyo. "Intervention will increase Japan's debt and could cause conflicts with the U.S., while having little impact on the market."
Geithner Comments
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner declined to comment about the prospects for currency intervention in an interview last week, instead saying that Japanese officials should do what they can to help their economy grow.
"They're working through some difficult problems," Geithner said on Bloomberg Television. "My view is they should be focusing like we are on how to make sure they're reinforcing recovery in Japan and doing things that are going to help."
In Switzerland, which has also seen a rising currency spark concern about exports, the central bank in June halted a 15-month policy of countering what it called "excessive" gains in the franc. The franc sales were "of no use" and largely served to accommodate speculators, the bank's former chief economist, Ulrich Kohli, was quoted as saying by the Sonntag newspaper.
Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa told Cabinet ministers last week that the effect of the yen's gains is large and international discussion on currencies is important.
"If there is no intervention in the next two weeks, my odd will drop to 15 percent again," JPMorgan's Sasaki said. "If you step back, you will realize that it's almost impossible to control massive currency markets."

On my new hoster's server I installed WordPress. But everytime I want to change the WordPress address (URL) and the Blog address (URL), nothing runs anymore, because the permission is denied. My hoster told me, this is because the .htaccess-file changed the permissions. But the .htaccess-file disappears as soon as i upload and install WordPress, so I can't fix it or change it...
This is the .htaccess-file how it is on my local pc for the installation

Does having global variables increase the size of the executable? If yes how? Does it increase only the data section size or also the text section size?
If I have a global variable and initialization as below:
char g_glbarr[1024] = {"jhgdasdghaKJSDGksgJKASDGHKDGAJKsdghkajdgaDGKAjdghaJKSDGHAjksdghJKDG"};
Now, does this add 1024 to data section and the size of the initilization string to text section?
If instead if allocating space for this array statically, if I malloc it, and then do a memcpy, only the data section size will reduce or the text section size also will reduce?

For many businesses, moving your sensitive data to the Cloud, will feel like a less secure option than just keeping their files on your home or work computer. Understandably, because the Cloud is a network of servers outside of your control, and it's run by another business. How could that be more secure than your own trusted hard drive or server? In this article, we will explain why it's a myth that the Cloud is insecure. There are always security fears, but you are much safer in the Cloud than out. Cloud security sits mainly with the measures you can take yourself, so we also share some tips on what you can do to keep your Cloud storage secure.

* Nikkei rises 0.8 pct; Topix up 0.6 pct * Banks up on expectations of reflationary policy * Fast Retailing up on strong Uniqlo Japan sales By Dominic Lau TOKYO, March 5 The Nikkei stock average advanced on Tuesday as the confirmation hearings of Bank of Japan leadership nominees boosted expectations of further easing by the central bank, while Fast Retailing rose sharply after reporting strong sales. Fast Retailing Co climbed 4 percent and was the top weighted gainer on the Nikkei after its Uniqlo casual-clothing chain posted a 9.6 percent year-on-year increase in same-store sales in Japan last month. The Nikkei was up 0.8 percent at 11,746.90 in midmorning trade after rising as high as 11,767.61. That was just shy of a 53-month intraday high of 11,767.68 hit on Monday when Haruhiko Kuroda, the nominee for BOJ governor, outlined a forceful policy to defeat deflation. "(Kuroda) is the absolutely perfect guy in there and probably the best one for the stock market," said Nicholas Smith, Japan strategist at CLSA. "This is absolutely not a yen story. This is about an asset price reflation story, so don't concentrate your forces in exporters, concentrate on ... banks, brokers and real estate," Smith said. Tuesday's confirmation hearing of Kikuo Iwata, nominee for one of the deputy BOJ governor posts, was also expected to support the market because the academic is known as an advocate of unconventional monetary policy. Such expectations of reflationary policies lifted the subindex of bank stocks 1.8 percent. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group gained 2.1 percent, and Mizuho Financial Group and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group both added 1.5 percent. They were the three most-traded stocks on the main board by turnover. The sector has rallied more than 53 percent since mid-November after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called on the BOJ to embark on bold monetary policy to whip deflation, outpacing a 35.5 percent rise in the benchmark Nikkei during the same period. Nomura Holdings, Japan's top brokerage, rose 2.2 percent and was the fifth-most traded stock on Tuesday morning. The broader Topix added 0.6 percent to 997.86. Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co Inc, however, sank 5.4 percent after a panel of advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended that the agency reject a drug for hot flashes associated with menopause made by Hisamitsu's subsidiary Noven Pharmaceutical Inc.

After months and months of waiting, the season is finally here. To get all of you super fired up for Thursday night's openers, we've got something very cool to give away.
KeyPoint Technologies has just launched over 30 Spirit Keyboards (available teams listed below) featuring some of the top programs in college football. These college-themed keyboards for Android have the colors and logos for your favorite team and come with a dictionary created specifically for your school. This way when you're texting, emailing, Tweeting or Facebooking, the dictionary already knows terms unique to your university – it even knows how to spell the bars near campus which always comes in handy after the game.
Another thing that's pretty cool is the word prediction. So if you've got the Alabama app on your Droid and you start to spell "McC," the word "McCarron" is offered up before you've completed half the word. Pretty handy for spelling "McCarron is on fire" when he throws four touchdowns and "McCarron stinks" when he fumbles in his own end zone.
Here's how to win a Spirit Keyboard for your favorite team from KeyPoint Technologies: In the comments section below, tell us why your team is going to win the BCS National Championship this year. Everything from incredibly insightful and statistically-backed reasoning to the humorously absurd will be considered. We'll select 5 winners after the conclusion of the Florida State at Pittsburgh game Monday night, so give us your most inspired, passionate, and hilarious reasons your team will win it all this year and the keyboard app will be on your Android phone in no time. Be sure to enter a valid email address so we can contact you (email will not be published).

There is not just one word that explains why ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE is going to win the National Championship AGAIN this year – Saban, McCarron, Pride, Leadership, Integrity, Passion, Determination, I coudl go on and on but no words or explanation is even needed, they will win it again no doubt about it – ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!
The three headed monster of David Oku, Adam Kennedy, and J.D. McKissic are why Arkansas State will win the BCS National Championship! Go stAte!
Auburn is going to win the BCS National title. Auburn has went undefeated in years(1913, 1993) that end in a 3 versus all others ending numbers..so 2013 is it. The BCS title has not left the state of Alabama in the past 4 four years. Alabama wins one, then Auburn wins one. Alabama wins 2 in a row…Auburns turn to win 2 in a row. WAR DAMN EAGLE!
Cincinnati will win the BCS Title this year! With a mythical, warmongering, carnivore mascot, the Bearcats will literally claw their way to the ship! With players named Munchie Legaux, Silverberry Mouhon, and Arryn Chenault just imagine all the fun Corso and Herbstreit will have announcing them?!
The Eyes of Texas will be upon the BCS National Title this year. The Texas Longhorns, led by the Ashian one, David Ash, and Mack Daddy Brown calling from the sidelines, will go through 12 games on their way to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California and have history of their last championship repeat itself. With Bevo on the sidelines and over 100,000 fans hootin and hollerin, Darrell K Royal will be the place to be to witness one of the greatest teams to come out of Austin. Hook em Horns!
The football world will be turned on its head this year when the Jayhawks bring home the Crystal ball! In fact it will be so stunning, no one will know what to do with it when it arrives in Lawrence! The first person to hold it will probably lob it into the nearest basketball goal…
Just be careful of those Dakota schools. They already pulled the huge upset over in Manhattan last Friday.
Really? No #3 Oregon? Interesting…

There are a variety of office blinds and shades conducive to creating a comfortable and productive office space, whether at home or in a high rise. Shutters and wood blinds are classic office window treatment options that work well to let in natural light, but also have slats that may be tilted for optimum light control. Solar screens reduce incoming glare while maintaining the view to the outside and cellular shades provide privacy while allowing light to filter in or be blocked out, depending on the selected opacity.

Charges of neglect and coverup during and after the deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi will be aired today when the House Government and Oversight Committee hears testimony about the September 2012 assault that killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
Drone Strikes or Guantanamo: Is President Choosing One Over the Other?Written by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
A Bush administration official claims President Obama is using drone strikes to kill terrorists rather than send them to Guantanamo.
Though President Obama renewed his pledge to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay last week, many recognize this as his latest attempt to pretend to have a different foreign policy from his predecessor. Despite the president's strong claims against Guantanamo Bay, there appears to be no indication that the Guantanamo Bay prisoners — a majority of whom are engaged in a hunger strike in opposition to their indefinite detention — are any closer to freedom, even the ones already formally cleared for release. Any discussions of closing the facility seem to be nothing more than attempts to assuage voters who are starting to ask questions about campaign promises that have yet to be fulfilled.
Without obtaining permission from Congress and despite repeatedly vowing not to put U.S. boots on the ground in Mali, the Obama administration has already deployed a small contingent of American troops to help international forces prop up the regime in the capital city of Bamako that seized power in a coup.
According to a report in the Washington Post, the president sent the U.S. soldiers to provide supposed "liaison support" to French and African troops battling separatist rebels in the north as part of a deeply controversial United Nations-backed operation. There are strong indications that American Special Forces are on the ground as well.

was that a harpsichord?
haha this is christmas music i can stand to listen to. I thought mannheim steamroller and trans siberian orchestra were my only options on xmas.
Good job in making it sound like it was actually played. I liked all the little runs you had going on, especially the part at 48 sec. Very cool
Actually it was a piano. In ragtime I have heard trills and runs like the one you mentioned a 48-49 seconds. I decided to put those in. Did the reverb help it sound like it was being played?Thanks!

'Before I Die' wall installed at Sky High
Death has a way of clarifying life, or so say great philosophers and New Orleans artist Candy Chang. It has a way of making us examine the kind of person we want to be, the life we want to live, the people who are important to us.
On Tuesday, people in the Bay View neighborhood were confronted by the finiteness of their lives as a result of one of Chang's projects. A wall that reads "Before I die I want to..." and has little buckets of colored chalk so people can fill in the blanks was installed at the Sky High Skateboard Shop and Gallery, 2501 S. Howell Ave., and in cities across the U.S. on Tuesday. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

(New Orleans, La.) The Dillard University athletics department recently launched a new app for IOS and Android devices. The app provides convenient access to all of the latest information regarding Bleu Devils and Lady Bleu Devils sports.
"This app advances our athletic programs even more by making it simple to connect our parents, fans and supporters to our student athletes with the touch of a finger on their phones," said Dr. Kiki Baker Barnes, Dillard's Athletic Director.
"We encourage everyone to download this app to get real-time experiences and stats during games, but mostly to watch the great people involved in DU athletics."
Enjoy the latest headlines including game recaps, upcoming events, and more. The scoreboard feature puts the latest results at your fingertips, and one-touch access to our live-event feed instantly links you to the video and/or audio broadcast we provide for most of the athletic events at Dillard University.
There is simply no better way to keep up with Dillard athletics than with the new app. For more information regarding DU athletics, please visit the newly renovated athletics website at www.dillardbleudevils.com.
To download the new DU athletics app from your Apple (IOS) device, click on the following link.
(New Orleans, La.) On Saturday, January 31, at the 2015 Allstate Sugarbowl Bleu Devil Classic, Dillard University will launch live streaming video for its home games at the Battlefield. This is the first step in a major transformation for the school's athletics department.
"Our goal is to transform Dillard University athletics to a world-class program," said Director of Athletics Dr. Kiki Baker Barnes. This is one step toward that end. We are proud of how far we've come. The live streaming program is consistent with our President's efforts to place Dillard as a national leader in major areas. My goal is to make athletics one of those areas."
"We want to be a leader in all aspects, including athletics," said Dillard University President Dr. Walter Kimbrough. "So being the first GCAC school this season to offer live streaming of games is natural to us. But more importantly, the lessons we learn will share with the entire conference so that we will use the technology as we build the conference brand together. It is cool being first, but it will be great if we all do this."
After much deliberation, discussion, and debate, the University also will release a new logo for the athletics department.
"Our new logo effort was led by our athletic director, Dr. Kiki Barnes," said Kimbrough. "My only idea was that it had to be bold. I think we have a strong word mark now that will replicate well."
To complete the transformation, the University's athletics website will soon undergo a complete makeover, adding several interactive modules, giving fans a closer way to connect with Bleu Devils and Lady Bleu Devils student-athletes.

Fundraiser and Rivalry Basket Ball Games set for Jan. 30 and 31
(New Orleans – LA) On Jan. 30 and 31, Dillard University's athletic department will host the 7th Annual Billy Ray Hobley Scholarship Gala and the 2015 Allstate Sugar Bowl Bleu Devil Classic, the annual basketball doubleheader featuring men's and women's games versus crosstown rival Xavier University. The gala will be held in the atrium of the Professional Schools Building on Friday, Jan. 30 and the basketball games will be held on the "Battlefield" (Dent Hall) on Dillard's campus.
This year's gala honorees are Dr. Charles C. Teamer, vice president of First NBC and former vice president of Fiscal Affairs at Dillard and Eugene Lamb Jr., '71, alumnus and former athlete. Both will receive Dillard's "Legacy Award" for their outstanding long-term contributions to their respective communities.
Teamer, who is well known in New Orleans' financial arena and for his service on numerous boards and civic organizations, served in a number of positions at Dillard including concurrent roles as athletic administrator and VP of Fiscal Affairs for more than 30 years. Under his leadership in athletics, the men and women's basketball teams won nearly 20 championships in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference (GCAC), District 30 and placed third in the National Final Four Tournament in 1984. He has served in a variety of civic organizations, including Chair of the following boards: The New Orleans Chamber of Commerce, United Way of Greater New Orleans, Greater New Orleans Foundation, Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans, World Trade Center, Urban League, Metropolitan Area Committee, Advisory Board Harrah's Entertainment New Orleans.
Lamb, who was a member of the men's basketball team during his undergraduate years at Dillard, returned to his hometown in Midway, Fla. where he taught Health and Physical Education, coached basketball, and worked with the Tallahassee Parks and Recreation Department for a combined 35 years.
Lamb also served on the city council and in 1986 as Mayor of the city of Midway. As a result of his dedication and civic involvement, Midway Recreation Center and Sports Complex for youth has been named in his honor.
New Orleans rhythm and blues band BRW will perform at the scholarship gala named for Hobley, the late Dillard basketball great who played for the Harlem Globetrotters. Tickets are $75, and all proceeds will go to athletic scholarships for Dillard students.
Starting times for the games on Saturday, Jan. 31 are as follows: Lady Bleu Devils basketball team will host Xavier at 3 p.m. on the "Battlefield" in Dent Hall Gymnasium, and the men's game will follow at 5 p.m. Tickets start at $15 and are good for both games.
Tickets for the 7th Annual Billy Ray Hobley Scholarship Gala and the 2015 Allstate Sugar Bowl Bleu Devil Classic are available through www.dillardbleudevils.com and the Dillard University cashier's office on the first floor of Rosenwald Hall (M-F, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.). Limited quantities will also be available at the door to both events.

Dillard's Brain Food Lecture to Feature Jason Riley, Author and Member of the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board
(New Orleans) – On Monday, January 26, 2015, author of Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make it Harder for Blacks to Succeed, will deliver the first Brain Food Lecture of 2015 in Georges Auditorium at 7 p.m. on Dillard's campus. A book signing will follow the lecture. The event is free and open to the public.
In his recent book, Please Stop Helping Us (2014), Riley examines how many well-intentioned government programs are really hurting black Americans rather than helping them. For example, he argues that minimum wage laws actually price a disproportionate number of blacks out of the labor force and that affirmative action in higher education has resulted in fewer black college graduates. Riley purports that the current methods and approaches to helping the socioeconomic advancement of blacks are not working. In 2008, his book Let Them In, argued for a more free-market oriented U.S. immigration policy.
Riley sits on the Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal where he has been employed since 1994. He has written opinion pieces on politics, economics, education, immigration and race, among other subjects. He has also worked for USA Today and the Buffalo News. Riley has appeared as a commentator on Fox News for more than a decade.
A native of Buffalo, New York, riley earned a bachelor's degree in English from the State University of New York.
Seats are on a first come basis. For more information go to @DUBrainFood, visitwww.dillard.edu or call 504.816.4800. Upcoming lecture: February 3 – Charles M. Blow, New York Times Columnist and CNN Commentator.
About Brain Food, The Dillard University President's Lecture Series
President Walter Kimbrough launched his official lecture series, Brain Food, April 18, 2013. Brain Food is a seven-course meal of intellectual sustenance, providing information that feeds intellectual cravings. Lectures are a way to stimulate the intellectual discourse on the campus. These noted scholars, authors, politicians and public intellectuals expose not only the campus community to their ideas and concepts, but also the broader community in which Dillard resides. The lectures are of interest to parents, high school and college teachers, lawmakers, clergy, activists, and anyone interested in understanding contemporary issues. All lectures are free and open to the public.

Making Strides with ePortfolios
Left to Right: Sarah Burns-Feyl, Assistant University Librarian for Instructional Services; Beth Gordon, Executive Director of Academic Technology and co-director of ePortfolio; Linda Anstendig, Director of the Dyson College Strauss Thinking and Learning Center and co-director of ePortfolio; Jim Stenerson, Executive Director for the Center for Teaching Learning and Technology and Pforzheimer Center for Faculty Development; and Samantha Egan, Academic Technology Supervisor.
Nearly half of all U.S. colleges and universities use ePortfolios in some capacity, and it seems Pace is ahead of the pack. Pace's involvement in a three-year Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education grant, Connect to Learning, a project connecting 24 ePortfolio-using institutions across the country, culminated at the AAC&U conference in D.C. last month.
"We are very excited to share with the Pace Community the National Catalyst website, a doorway to ePortfolio best practices, to the ways ePortfolios connect students' academic and co-curricular experiences, and to rich data that can promote scholarship as well as opportunities for program development," says Director of Dyson College's Strauss Thinking and Learning Center and co-director of ePortfolio Linda Anstendig, EdD.
In addition to Anstendig, the Pace team comprises stakeholders from key areas of the University, including: Executive Director of Academic Technology and co-director of ePortfolio Beth Gordon, PhD, Assistant University Librarian for Instructional Services Sarah Burns-Feyl, and Executive Director for the Center for Teaching Learning and Technology and Pforzheimer Center for Faculty Development Jim Stenerson. Samantha Egan, an academic technology supervisor, also helped to support the team with their efforts.
"According to our collective research developed through the Connect to Learning grant, ePortfolios advance student success, support reflection and higher order thinking, and also spur on curricular reform," says Gordon, PhD. "We're so pleased by Pace's role in this nationally recognized project and resource and proud to be part of the international ePortfolio movement."
The conference also marked the official launch of the Catalyst for Learning Site, a robust web resource documenting the progress of each institution in planning, launching, growing, and deepening their ePortfolio projects. Pace's project portfolio outlines the University's journey toward ePortfolio implementation and highlights the best practices of Pace instructors and showcases the outstanding work of Pace students. The Pace team was asked to extend their grant-funded efforts through June in order to continue to lead the momentum on national ePortfolio growth.

Pace is pleased to announce the appointment of Jonathan H. Hill, DPS, as Dean of the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems, effective July 1, 2016.

How to guides
How to fit ceiling lights
A standard single pendant light fitting near the centre of the ceiling can sometimes leave a lot to be desired. As long as you can get to the ceiling void from above without too much disruption, it's not complicated to move a light to wherever you really need it. Alternatively, you can boost your light levels by adding extra pendants which you operate either by the existing switch or by a new one. You'll find that pre-wired lampholder-plus-flex combinations are widely available.

They keep inserting a script with
document.documentElement.innerHTML = unescape into my WordPress menus. (I have the full code if you need to see it) I have removed the script and gotten the site working again, only to have the problem reappear a few hours later. I have reset all of my passwords, completely deleted and reinstalled WordPress, upgraded my WordPress version, and installed a security plugin (Better WP Security) to close any gaps. But no matter what I do, this latest hack just keeps happening.
I'm wondering if perhaps its something on my host (webhostingpad.com)? If you Google the title they've been inserting there seem to be a large number of sites effected.
Anyone have any experience fixing this? Tips, tricks, advice.. anything would be appreciated.
