Stock Futures Little Change ahead of Data. Stocks to Watch: AAPL, ARUN, ADSK, BEBE, EAT, FB, MRK, CRM
Published on Friday, 24 August 2012 07:35 Written by Christopher Lynn
New York, August 24th (TradersHuddle.com) – Stock futures were little change amid overseas weakness, following Wall Street's lead, after hopes that the Fed will provide another round of stimulus eased. The ongoing debate over the Fed coupled with Greece returning to the headlines out of Europe left participants wary of committing to the market in either direction, particularly after the gains in the recent weeks.
In Asia, stocks fell for the second day, as hopes for the Fed providing further accommodative measures eased. Participants worried over the pace of economic growth after the manufacturing data points in China and Europe signaled a weakening outlook. The Nikkei lost 1.2% amid weakness on steelmakers and other economic sensitive stocks, while the Shanghai Composite dropped 1%, closing at its lowest level in almost 3-1/2 years.
In Europe, markets were struggling amid stubborn jitters over the debt crisis in the region and after the likelihood of a swift action from the Fed to boost growth at the world's largest economy dimmed. Investors were awaiting a meeting between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, as the possibility of Greece exiting the euro zone was resurfacing. Meanwhile, U.K. second quarter GDP was revised to -0.5% from a prior reading of -0.7%.
The euro was falling against the Dollar, but still trading above the $1.25 level. Crude oil was losing 0.26% to $96.02 per barrel. Also in the energy complex, natural gas was gaining 0.82% to $2.825 per MMBtu. Gold was sliding 0.15% to $1668.10 an ounce, and silver was dropping 0.05% to $30.44 an ounce, meanwhile copper was retreating 0.52%.
On economic data, at 8:30 am, the Commerce Department will release figures on Durable Goods orders.
Today's Stocks to watch: Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Aruba Networks (NASDAQ: ARUN), Autodesk (NASDAQ: ADSK), Bebe Stores (NASDAQ: BEBE), Brinker (NYSE: EAT), Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), Merck (NYSE: MRK), and Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM).
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), the maker of iPads and iPhones, was losing 0.1% to $662 in pre-market, after losing 0.9% in the prior session. The stock has seen a rally of more than 16% since its big earnings miss in July and posted a new all-time high of $674.88 amid heightened expectations ahead of the release of the new redesigned iPhone 5 in the first part of September. This week, Needham boosted its target price to $750 from $620, while last week, Jefferies raised its target price to $800 per share. Separately, South Korea's Samsung won a home court ruling in its patent wars against Apple when judges in Seoul said the company didn't copy the look and feel of the U.S. company's iPhone, and that Apple infringed on Samsung's wireless technology. However, in a split decision on patents, the panel of judges also said Samsung violated Apple technology and ordered both sides to pay limited damages.
Aruba Networks (NASDAQ: ARUN), the computer networking company, will be in focus after surging 15% to $19.48 in after hours. The company posted earnings of $0.18 per share, $0.01 better than consensus, excluding non-recurring items, on revenue that jumped 22.3% from a year ago to $139.2 million versus consensus of $136.85 million. Mizuho raised its target price to $17 from $11, while Needham bumped its target price to $23 from $20.
Autodesk (NASDAQ: ADSK), the design software Company, will be in focus after the stock plunged more than 21% to $28.10 in after hours following negative reaction to an earnings miss and weak outlook. The company said it earned $0.48 per share, $0.01 worse than consensus, on revenue that climbed 4.2% from a year ago to $569 million versus consensus of $593.63 million. For the current quarter, Autodesk issued earnings and revenue guidance that is below consensus. The stock was downgraded to Hold from Buy at Canaccord Genuity and to Underperform from Neutral at Bank of America Merrill.
Bebe Stores (NASDAQ: BEBE), the specialty retailer, will be in focus after beating earnings expectations on revenue that was above consensus. However, the company issued earnings guidance for the current quarter that was below consensus. Bebe said it earned $0.04 per share, $0.01 better than consensus, on revenue that fell 0.6% from a year ago to $131.5 million versus consensus of $128.4 million.
Brinker (NYSE: EAT), the casual dining Company owner of Chilli's and Maggiano's Little Italy restaurant chains, will be in focus after the company announced a dividend increase and additional $500 million for share repurchases. The board approve a 25% increase in its quarterly dividend to $0.20 from $0.16, while increasing the outstanding share repurchasing authorization to $626 million.
Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), the social media Company, will be in focus after the company yesterday announced a new app for the iPhone and the iPad that will make it faster for users, while providing increased screen space for the news feed. The app will try to capitalize in the company's new sponsored news feed, which has been generating increased clicks for advertisers. The stock has seen a new bout of selling after the first IPO lockup period expired last week, providing early investors and insiders with the opportunity to sell shares.
Merck (NYSE: MRK), the maker of Singulair and Zocor, was falling 0.5% to $42.59 in pre-market after the stock was downgraded to a Neutral rating from Buy at Bank of America Merrill.
Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM), the provider of Internet based customer relationship management software, was tumbling 5.6% to $138.55 in pre-market after the company issued a weak third quarter earnings outlook. Salesforce posted quarterly results that topped expectations but disappointed investors by issuing mixed guidance for the quarter, while saying that it expects fiscal 2013 EPS inline with expectations and revenue above consensus. The company said it earned $0.42 per share, $0.03 better than consensus, on revenues that jumped 34.1% from a year ago to $732 million versus consensus of $728.14 million.

Can't see hulk coming considering his release clause is about 90million. Shame.
- 1 Reply to CalgaryResident
Does that mean a team would have to pay £90mil or is it there purely so that Porto (hulks current club?) have the power to negotiate, without player power forcing a move?
I was told that Benzema has a £800mil clause, but sirely this is purely to empower the club and not allow the player to demand a move?
I wonder if Luka's contract has a clause?!

Then we sent in corrected dates of June 24-26 (hoping Father's Day wasn't considered a black-out holiday) and waited for our documents to come. Come June, we called to see where they were and the company said they send a letter at the end of March saying our dates were full and not available. (Those must be the only full mid-week flights in the U.S.!!!)
There were some alternate dates on the letter that we never got, but she said those had already become unavailable. I told her that there is nothing in the literature that says "we send out letter of approval or denial early, so if you haven't rec'd your confirmation within 2 months of departure, call our long-distance number to find out what happened to your letter." She said the next days available were in the last 2 weeks of November and would send another letter with those dates.
Three weeks later, I am still waiting for this letter. We DID confirm that my address was correct. I've heard of others losing their "refundable deposits" and just giving up on the headache of contact and convincing, but $200 is $200.

*UPDATE ..Mini Vacations contacts Rip-off Report to give a full Refund or replacement certificates to any unsatisfied customer.. even when it's not their responsibility
NOTE: Rip-off Report launched a complete investigation on this particular situation and found that Mini Vacations had no control over promises another company makes when marketing their vacation coupons. Even though Mini Vacations is not responsible for another company's actions, they have been giving FULL refunds to anyone who has contacted them, and has even given more than they should have in the name of good customer service

Portals Diplomacy & Peace
Mali to receive Canadian special forces to fight al Qaeda
Written by defenceWeb, Tuesday, 06 December 2011
The troops from Petawawa, Ontario, are not involved in direct combat as they are primarily there to advise Malian troops and provide training in communications, planning and first aid. They will also provide medical aid and support to civilians, Canadian media report.
Mali is struggling with a growing presence of gunmen from Al Qaeda's African wing, al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), which operates from bases in northern Mali and is believed to be behind the recent kidnappings and murders of Western tourists.
Last month five people were kidnapped in separate cases, and a German national was killed as he tried to resist abduction.
The threat of attacks by Al Qaeda-linked operatives in Mali has cost the West African state some 50 billion CFA francs (US$108 million) in lost tourism receipts and 8,000 jobs over the past two years, its government said.
"This is exactly the place we should be in terms of trying to develop a counter-terrorism capacity in the Sahel and in North Africa," said Brigadier General Denis Thompson, head of the Ottawa-based Canadian Special Operations Forces Command. "This is a natural fit for us."
Earlier this year the Canadian Special Operations Regiment sent a small team to northern Mali to provide instruction for that country's special forces. Another team is currently in the capital city of Bamako providing counter-terrorism skills training and officer training. The teams number fewer than 15 soldiers.
Thompson said that small teams will continue to move in and out of Mali as the country requires training.
CSOR was created in 2006 to help support the Ottawa-based counter-terrorism unit, Joint Task Force Two, as well as to conduct its own missions. Its soldiers have undertaken operations in Afghanistan, but the details of those missions are classified, Postmedia News reports.
In February and March this year roughly 15 CSOR personnel took part in Exercise Flintlock in Senegal, a US-led training event. The Canadian forces instructed Malian troops in small unit tactics and other disciplines.
Thompson said that Canadian special forces will take part in the Flintlock exercise in Mali next year.
Mali has been criticised by neighbours and Western partners for not doing enough to tackle bandits, local al Qaeda agents and other groups operating in the vast Sahel region straddling Niger, Mauritania, Algeria and Mali.
The countries are struggling to contain the growing threat by Islamist militants operating across West Africa's remote desert regions.
Though it was still not clear who was responsible for the kidnappings last month, al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has in the past claimed responsibility for similar abductions.
President Amadou Toumani Toure said his country would do its utmost to improve regional security but he said international partners had to play a role, notably by addressing the implications of the Libyan war for its close neighbours.
Neighbouring states have for months raised concerns about a spillover of looted weapons from Libya into a region which has several rebel groups as well as al Qaeda-linked guerrillas.
In August Mali launched a 32 billion CFA franc (US$69 million) programme to try and restore the government's authority in its desert north where a mix of rebels and criminals have fomented insecurity through kidnappings, smuggling and uprisings.
"Poverty and insecurity are perfect breeding grounds for terrorism and fundamentalism," Toure said while explaining the two-year plan.
The influence of the central government in the isolated north has always been weak, and nomadic Tuareg rebels launched rebellions there in the 1990s and in 2007.
But Mali, Niger and Mauritania have struggled to tackle the spreading insecurity, which has seen drug smuggling rise and dozens of Westerners kidnapped and mostly end in the hands of al Qaeda's North African wing.
Western nations led by former colonial power France and the United States have led efforts to provide military support to these countries but analysts say more progress in development and tackling corruption is needed.

A new report from the UK Open Access Implementation Group examines the potential part that intermediaries could play in helping universities, funders and publishers to manage the impact of increasing volumes of open access article processing charges.
The implementation of the Finch report and new policies from the Research Councils are likely to herald a significant increase in the volume of open access publishing in the UK and in the payment of article processing charges (APCs). The new report, "The Potential Role for Intermediaries in Managing the Payment of Open Access Article Processing Charges," reveals an almost universal consensus that work is required to develop and implement standards to facilitate more effective flows between authors, publishers, universities and funders of information relating to APCs.
The report describes the key elements that these stakeholder groups think are needed to create an efficient and effective gold open access market - including scalability, low transaction costs and effective interfaces. It then outlines a range of value-added services that could be provided.

Wednesday Whinge: No Minister
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Central Government
Wednesday Whinge: No MinisterImage: Housing via Shutterstock
Brian Church, 24housing's deputy editor and resident mooncalf, oozes forth yet another mid-week spillage of baffling and histrionic vitriol from his keyboard.
Another housing minister! They're having a laugh.
When 24housing joked months ago that everyone will be housing minister for 15 minutes, it was meant as a Wildean wheeze. Sadly, it's actually true. We've reached the stage where it's harder in life NOT to be housing minister. Some don't even bother putting it on their CVs.
The new guy is 'Marlon' Brandon Lewis. As of writing, I don't know what "current" housing minister Kris Hopkins is up to, so no change there.
The regular turnover of housing ministers gives out all the wrong signs: the sector doesn't matter.
And, of course, it does matter. So how can we make sure a housing minister stays in his or her job for, say, at least two years?
Six quick suggestions, all of them practical and low-cost:
1) Get a public pledge from the new housing minister that he will accept no promotions or sideway moves. The PM can still sack him but, while he's a minister, it's just for housing.
2) Superglue the new minister's bottom to the housing ministry chair. While they'd no longer be able to stand up for housing, it would do the trick.
3) Put housing in a small department where it can hold its own (Wales?), or make up a new one like DRBC&H (Department of Ridiculous Badger Culling & Housing).
4) Have more than one housing minister at a time in the hope that someone lasts a full parliament. I'd suggest 30 or 40 to start with.
5) Ed Miliband takes on the housing portfolio alongside leadership duties in a vote-winning demonstration of his commitment to providing enough homes.
6) All housing ministers to have the same bland and boring name (eg Max Salsbury) so the outside world thinks it's the same person in office all along.
Just trying to be helpful.

This is my first wordpress page and I am not a programmer, so thank you in advance for your help and patience!
I am creating multiple pages with calendars in them. I created the calendars using tables in the page editor, and the tables appear perfectly in firefox.
However, the tables are cutoff halfway when viewed in Internet Explorer. I am viewing it in IE7.
Here is the link to one of the calendar pages: http://norcalrunning.com/races/bay-area/
the last two colums are not being shown. It is almost as if they are being hidden by the sidebar for the area for widgets (I'm not using any widgets.) Is there an internet explorer bug for tables?
Thanks again! any help would be greatly appreciated!

Firstly the staff was excellent, very friendly, very helpful. The room however was below expectations. The water pressure in shower was VERY low. Shower head was located too close to the shower wall causing some discomfort and with the low water pressure, it was a little challenging. Some of the electrical outlets didn't work, There was no coffee pot in the room (typically there is)

There might be a simple answer to my question. I just bought a domain from godaddy.com two days ago and installed wordpress so I'm still not used to this whole thing.
I have installed my wordpress but my question is how do I show my posts on my website?
To be specific, here is my website: http://www.dulcidine.net
Currently I'm just writing it all in html but since I have wordpress installed, I want to use it since it's more logical.
I want my blog to show up under the blog section on my front page. How would I go about doing this?
Thank you to anyone who can offer any insight.

2011: The Year of Reactionary HR
Inflexion Advisors
Gearing up your 2010 reflective engines, you may let your mind soar over your personal and professional landscape in an attempt to observe and report from a dispassionate distance. But before I crash into the future, let's take a quick journey back to December of 2009, a time when I predicted that 2010 would be the " Year of the HR Truism ": 2010 Scorecard.
2010 In Review
HR Examiner
With little fanfare and a constant rush of incremental news bites, 2010 didn't always feel like a lot was happening. 2010 was the year that the trend moved decidedly towards the use of video. In hindsight, there was a TON of structural change in the HR Industry. New powerhouses emerged. The focus of HR underwent a series of profound shifts. Years of impoverishment in marketing and sales investments began to show as structural weakness. Here are the high points of the year we are wrapping up. Continued Economic Insecurity and High Unemployment. It's truer now than ever.
The Best Company I've Ever Worked For
Inflexion Advisors
It was 95 degrees in the shade when we arrived. The picnic area boasted the usual grouping of wooden tables surrounding a central grill, all (thankfully) shaded by a long-faded overhang. Greeting us were the warm smiles of colleagues I haven't seen in well over ten years. This was the twenty-year reunion of the founding of the best company I've ever worked for. But why? closing thought.
Catch-up with Workday
Strategic HCM
w I've had a couple of interesting conversations about developments in HR technologies recently. For example, at one of the panels at Enterprise 2.0, I was asked about to what extent HR systems limit HR's ability to rise above compliance activities. suggested that this was largely an echo of the past – that technology shouldn't be a a barrier to performance as it was maybe just ten years ago.
Emotional Spell Check (we are all really dumb)
Steve Boese HR Technology
In the world of office productivity software like the Microsoft Office suite of programs, (Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, etc.), the 'spell check' feature is so fundamental, so ingrained into our experience of using these tools that we probably can't imagine a word processing or other text-centric application lacking the capability. Just like Spell Check… but for Tone. Technology communication
Farewell 2010

Last day of 2010. suppose for me, like many, 2010 was not the best year, certainly not one that played out as expected or desired. Sure, it is the last day of 2010.

Every major vendor in the HR Tech game is there. All the important trade publications, consultancies, and independent analysts are around. For me, the overall theme to the event was ' simplicity '.

Who Will Inherit PeopleSoft's Crown?
Ahmed's Universe
PRAGUE Spending a few days in the fairytale Czech capital where I presented the DOs and DON''Ts of HR technology projects at the HR Directors'' International Summit , I was surprised by how many of the 150 attending HR leaders asked me which vendor I saw most likely to inherit the mantle of HR technology leader now that PeopleSoft is slowly but steadily fading into the sunset. Here is my list of pretenders to the crown of industry leader. Could the other ERP behemoth, SAP , take over? What about the latest kid on the block: Workday ? What about HCM-only vendors? What about outsourcing vendors?
HR Technology Conference 2010 ? Still about the Tweeps
Home About SaaS Tech Tips HR Technology Conference 2010 – Still about the Tweeps by Michael Krupa on October 4, 2010 Last year at this time, I was eagerly preparing for the 2009 HR Technology conference as an attendee. I was excited to finally meet many of the people I had been conversing with on Twitter. In fact my first blog post after the conference was about the tweeps instead of about the conference. Some observations of the 2010 conference: Naomi Bloom was sorely missed at the conference but we all understood and supported her reasons for not attending.

Guest Post - Why Business Intelligence is Failing HR Managers
Steve Boese HR Technology
Note: This guest post comes from Tom Malone, CEO of Accero. In the past few years it seems like business intelligence has been all the rage. Vendors promise a tool that will help HR managers pull a seat up to the table with strategic insight gained through predictive analysis of the company's own data. However, according to analysts, most companies never achieve the results they expect with these tools. Why is it that business intelligence fails to live up to expectations? The answer can be found in time and resources. Do we need analytics solutions to help provide insight in the space?

Top 25 Talent Management Online Influencers v2.0
HR Examiner
Social Media really changes the way that ideas flow and tactics are communicated. Within very recent memory, if you wanted to be 'in the know' you had to spend a lot of time going to trade shows, local professional association meetings and read the latest book. Establishing credibility as a 'thought leader' was a well established path. Finding them was straightforward.
Twitter 101 for HR

Like it or not, convincing human resource professionals that Twitter is a valuable use of their time and resources can be a challenging endeavor.

Top 100 v 1.74 Kelly Cartwright. The HR Industry is maturing. Fifteen years ago, the space was a wild west sideshow. As the emergence of software standardized administrative practice, HR became increasingly intelligible. Although the older institutions have failed to keep pace with reality, that's hardly a surprise. HR evolved from the payroll department to a digital information infrastructure in a very short time. Lacking the traditional educational pipelines of other industries, the field matured ahead of its vendors and academic institutions. Technology makes new things happen.

Review: Sonar6
HR Examiner
Review: Sonar6. Last week, we looked at some of the issues surrounding performance management. The novice's error is to let the process of setting goals completely derail the work of attaining them. When performance management systems are installed badly, they become elusive silliness, completely divorced from organizational reality. Effectively implemented, they hold the promise of turbo charging the results they measure. The industry has changed in astonishing ways since SuccessFactors began changing our conversation and focusing on Performance management. Take a look at their offering.

When I plan to cover a show, I try to go in with an open mind to ensure my prior bias doesn't taint the coverage for those who are unable to attend. This one was particularly difficult for me as the sheer act of walking into the New York Hilton lobby floods me with memories of so much wasted time, money and space. You see this show used to be known as "HRO World , the armpit of the trade show circuit that was sold to publication and conference juggernaut LRP in 2006. Life Matters. Our HR Week experience didn't really kick into high gear until Tuesday morning. HR Matters.

Doling the problem out in egalitarian bites was the 2010 substitute for vision. 2011: What's Coming? It would be nice to have a crystal ball that wasn't quite so cloudy. In the two long years since the economic downturn started in earnest, seeing what's coming has been hard to do. These days, it's not uncommon to hear normally sensible business people talk about not having a long term view as an acceptable thing. It's hard work to see the future in times of upheaval. But, we're getting used to ass-covering as a way of doing business. HRExaminer

Decisions to Make About My Hair
When I started losing my hair, I really did not know what to make of it. I know so many guys who have completely shaved their heads, and I thought that maybe I should do the same. I just didn't think I would look good without any hair though, so I was not sure which route to go. I honestly did not think of trying any hair loss treatments because I didn't think any of them worked. I changed my mind after a friend told me about some Provillus reviews that he had read, and they changed his life.
I thought that was being a bit melodramatic, but he told me that it was the honest to goodness truth. Continue reading »Uncategorized | Comments Off
I Finally Have Thick Eyelashes
I thought that I was stuck with the thin eyelashes that I was born with. They are almost brittle seeming, but they were not quite that bad, just almost! Anyway, I thought that I was just stuck with them, because what can really be done for an eyelash? More than I thought possible, actually! When I heard about a Wimpernserum website on a beauty forum that I go to now and again, I was really surprised because rarely do eyelashes come up in beauty talk. It just seems most women are blessed with nice and thick eyelashes.
It seems that there are more women who are afflicted with thin and brittle eyelashes than I realized though. I went to the eyelash serum site, and I was really impressed with how much research had been put into the site. There was a great deal of general information about eyelash serums, but there was detailed information about top brands as well. Continue reading »Uncategorized | Comments Off
Eating Healthy is Easy After All
When I decided that I needed to stop eating fast food so much, I had to consider my options. I knew that I was gaining weight because of my frequent trips through the drive thru at various fast food restaurants, but I also knew that I did not have the time to go to the store, buy healthier choices, and then go home and cook them. I was talking to someone at work about this, and she told me to go online and look at some Hello Fresh meals and recipe reviews.
I had never heard of Hello Fresh meals before, so I was curious. Before I read reviews, I decided to go to their website to see what kind of service they offer. Continue reading »Uncategorized | Comments Off
It Was Important for Me to Find Something That Truly Worked
I am an avid skier. I fell in love with it back when I was 8 years old and my parents took me for skiing lessons for the very first time. I started out on a small little hill, and by the time I was ten years old, I was racing down massive mountains with my older brothers. Now that I'm 50, I'm a bit slower and accident prone. I broke my hip while on skis a couple of months ago, and it made my back hurt since I couldn't get around. So, I needed to find a Bakersfield chiropractor to help me out.
I first went to my doctor to complain about my back. I really felt that he was acting as if the pain was all in my head. At my first visit, he told me that I was fine and that I should give it a few more weeks and that I would soon see that I felt good as new again. Continue reading »Uncategorized | Comments Off
The Best E Liquid Refills on the Market Include the Ability to Taper off of Nicotine
I am on my way to quitting nicotine altogether. The really great thing is that I have not had a real cigarette in over a month. I am tapering myself off of nicotine I get by vaping. I know there is controversy about e-cigarettes, but I just know that I used it to quit lighting up. I bought one of those high end e-cigs that give you a good full draw that mimics real smoking much better. Then I found the best e liquid refills on the market. I needed to find a place that sold the liquid that tasted like the brand of cigarette I smoked. I did not want any candy flavors. I wanted full-bodied tobacco flavor in my vaping device.
Finding an e liquid that I can taper off the nicotine dose is the thing I needed to reach my goal. Continue reading »Uncategorized | Comments Off
The Chances That This Actually Works
I was looking about the internet the other day and I happened to come across an ad for tighter vagina cream. Of course I was curious and I looked at the blog entry for the stuff. It did not exactly promise results, but made it sound as though you might get the result which you wanted. Of course child birth is going to have an effect on the vagina and the theory is that this stuff can remedy that. In fact a child is a big thing to pass and it is not like that is going to pass with no impact on the system. It is going to change the woman's physiology.

My Vision Has Never Been Better
When my doctor told me that I should have corrective surgery performed on my eyes, I was not sure what to think about it. I knew that I would like to be able to have better vision, but I was also worried about the procedure itself. He referred me to the best lasik surgeons in mumbai, and that helped me with my fear of the procedure more than I can even say. I didn't even understand what Lasik surgery entailed. I just knew that any surgery with my eyes meant that problems could happen, and I wanted only the best surgeons to handle it.
When I made the appointment with the Lasik surgeon, I was very appreciative for how much time he spent with me. He wanted me to understand the procedure as well as the risks and benefits. He took his time and answered all of my questions, and I knew that I was in the best hands possible. Continue reading »Uncategorized | Comments Off

This is the wart remover wartrol reviewed by Rita, who has a blog she calls pure rita. I am thinking about doing a very similar sort of site. Obviously I am not really interested in reviewing wart remover, but instead I am thinking about reviewing things of a lot more value in the home entertainment systems.

Know the Dangers, Reduce the Risks
High cholesterol is a problem for many individuals. It can be attributed to genetics, poor diet, inactivity and obesity. Those suffering from high cholesterol levels can have serious health complications, such as an increase in the risk of a stroke or heart attack.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance, found in the fats in our bloodstream. There is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. Good cholesterol is commonly referred to as HDL, which stands for high-density lipoprotein. It helps to remove the bad cholesterol from the bloodstream. Good cholesterol is the kind of fat found in foods such as olive, canola and sunflower oil, many nuts, seeds and fish. Substances like these, containing monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, are heart healthy. Continue reading »Uncategorized | Comments Off
Improving Your Overall Health and Quality of Life
Cholesterol is something that you will want to reduce as much as possible if you desire to be in the best possible position health wise in your life. There are many different tactics that you can implement or change in your life to give yourself a better cholesterol rating and become more physically fit. Through exercise and a better diet, you can be in a great position to live as long as possible and stay healthy internally.
Exercise is something that you should do at least three times a week to stimulate your body internally and help to flush out the toxins that are found inside. This can serve as a good cleanse, especially if you are doing cardio exercises that require you to sweat a lot. Make sure that you do not overdo it, as you should consistently go to the gym for moderate period of time to get the best results.
Diet is the main factor that you will have to concern yourself with if you desire to reduce your cholesterol rating. Stay away from junk or processed foods as this can only up your rating, and will put you in a much worse state and mood. Fruits and vegetables are some of the best things that you can consume, as they are very low in cholesterol, taste great and will give you the vitamins and minerals that you need. If you are finding that you are consuming too much, try to ration the portions that you have instead of eating everything at one sitting. Instead, try to have four or five meals/snacks during the course of the day to give your body a chance to process the food. Additionally, refrain from eating in the late hours of the night, as your body will have a tough time processing large quantities of food during sleep.Uncategorized | Comments Off

Man sentenced in four vehicle deaths returns to Vt court
NEWPORT A driver convicted of being responsible for the 1998 deaths of four teenagers is asking a judge to reconsider the sentence imposed for his third probation violation.
Gregory Twofoot, 34, was sentenced to five to 15 years in prison on four counts of gross negligent operation of a motor vehicle, fatality resulting.
The Caledonian Record reported a judge ordered him to serve the remainder of his minimum sentence, estimated at 18 months. Now the judge has to decide whether the time frame for a sentence reconsideration has long passed.
Twofoot was driving a vehicle that overturned on Interstate 91 and landed in Cobb Brook, near Newport. Four people died; one passenger survived.
Twofoot is accused of violating conditions by taking drugs and drinking alcohol.MORE IN This Just In

Travellers are being given urgent safety warnings over the risks from malaria after deaths and serious illnesses among recent British visitors to the Gambia, west Africa.
Gambia's victory over Brazil at the World Youth Cup sparked wild celebrations in mainland Africa's smallest country, says Amy Lawrence.
In a report headlined Britain heads for clash with US, page 2, August 27, we referred to the president of the UN general assembly as Jean Ping "from Gambia". Mr Ping is from Gabon, not Gambia.
Freedom a deadly word in AfricaPeter Preston
Peter Preston: Meet Yorro Jallow, editor of the Independent . This one's in The Gambia. Last year, his offices were bombed three times by thugs supporting the regime of President (ex-Sergeant) Yaya Jammeh.
An international arrest warrant could this week be issued against a British man who skipped bail in The Gambia and has three times failed to return to the country for trial on charges that he raped a 10-year-old girl.
Gambia condemns Spanish ruling preventing girls' circumcision.
The president of Gambia has announced the discovery of "large quantities" of oil in his tiny West African country, the latest revelation of petrochemical riches in sub-Saharan Africa.
My sister has very high blood pressure and cholesterol, both of which are increasing despite treatment with drugs. She is planning to take a holiday in the Gambia. Is this a good idea?
The British government is facing claims that it has abandoned two London businessmen jailed without charge by the US at Guantanamo Bay.
We are taking our children, aged six and eight, to a coastal hotel in Gambia for a fortnight over Christmas. What do we need to know to protect them?
The cost of a holiday in Gambia is going up from 1 November. Tourists will each be charged a new £5 tourist tax.
Researchers in the Gambia have begun injecting hundreds of people with a new vaccine against malaria, the mosquito-borne illness which kills more than two million people a year.
As the UN meets to pursue its goal of equal access to education for girls, Victoria Brittain meets one woman who has bucked the trend in the Gambia.
Mary Smalls in The Gambia is leading a courageous campaign to end the horror of female circumcision. Although the practice is now illegal, the country's elected President warns her that she may suffer for her efforts.
When Joanne Gordon finally trod the soil of Mother Africa for the first time this month, she felt that she had finally gone back to her roots.

Even when the monsoon rains blacken the sky and many of Banjul's beach hotels are deserted, their swimming pools drained and their rooms filled with the pungent whiff of mildew and neglect, a few die-hard tourists remain - most noticeably a large number of ageing north European women, oddly coupled with their young "bumpsters".

I was wondering if any 1 would ever port a bunch of light gun games as 1 big port like 4gb
mad dog mccree 1/2, leathal enforcers 1/2, terminator 2, opperation wolf / thunder.
Basically every darn blasted light gun game you ever saw.
There is a serious lack of light gun games out there for the xbox, 3 official ones if you count stasky and hutch.
having looked around some light gun games are on the sega genesis and cd, but they just cant be used due to no light gun support on the emus. which is annoying due to mad dog mccree being on the sega cd, (its also a dvd game thats xbox compatable "not specificaly for xbox, will work on any dvd player" but this uses the remote)
the psxbox has no light gun support either rendering another tide of games unplayable.
Thank heavens we have master system mame snes and nes emus which do have light gun support. But Most of the emus have issues with light gun due to the emulators not using the native display settings the game was designed for, Making this genre of the xbox gaming system rather pitiful.
Im no programer never really have been, all i do is repair computer hardware and remove computer viruses.
It would be nice to know if any one has done a project like this or believe it is viable.
seems if you have to calibrate the light gun for 1 game which has a lot of diferent modes that Just look and play like all the other games that would be one kick ass light gun bundle.
thanx for your time.

Well said Trufully XBOX is missing light gun games its a pity how hard they are emulate. Well Madmab is including Light gun support the newest snes emulator. What sucks is with only a hand full of porters left this topic will most likely be ignored maybe you'll get lucky and the mysterious A600 could start on it.
Posted 14 August 2011 - 01:34 PM
Old thread but wanted to show my vote for the mentioned games!
That would be ace especially if they was arcade perfect.
I think Mame emulates the ones mentioned on the PC/MAC so maybe wouldn't be to difficult to maybe add these into the xbox version of Mame once full stable on the PC version?

Am I the only one who is in complete SHOCK that we are all cruising into our 6 month or are already in it?! It is sooo hard to believe that just a few "weeks" ago we were finding out we are pregnant! I am 23 weeks and 4 days :) soon we will be entering our 3rd trimester :D yippee!!
6 months?!
I am still a little lost with this. I am 24.5 weeks. How many months am I? And when does month 7 begin? I usually just tell people how many weeks I am instead of months...

#makingmemories #sidehugs
It feels like it was just yesterday that I was laughing because I had positive test! It really has been a while for me! I found out at around 2 weeks along. Crazy sauce! I couldn't believe it when I hit the half way mark and now I'm nearing the 3rd trimester! This needs to slow down for sure!
Life is too amazing to dwel on the past!
i have been thinking this for a week now!! Im so excited because im so anxious to me my little girl BUT than im so nervous! Time seems to be going by fast and slow at the same time if that makes sense! Im 27 weeks today! WOW, we are all almost there!! <3
May 9th is sneaking up on me :)
At 24 weeks I am 5 1/2 months along. It is like your age, it is two different things to be 6 months or to be in your 6th month. I am currently 31 yrs old, but I am in my 32nd year of life.
A pp linked to a timeline that shows the 6th month is weeks 22-26, so once we are 27 weeks we will be 6th months. (Week 1-4 is month 1, but you aren't 1 month pregnant until you complete week 4)
Yes jlgleigh is correct, you will be 6 months pregnant at 27 weeks. But that is just over 2 weeks away for me. Holy moly!
i'm 25 weeks now, and only now that I realized this is my last week for my second trimester (after reading the weekly email from babycenter).. wow, that was fast.. and still got a lot of shopping to do :)

Jamaica is an upper middle income country with the largest population in English speaking Caribbean. For decades, Jamaica has struggled with low growth, high public debt and many external shocks that further weakened the economy. Over the last 30 years, real per capita GDP increased at an average of just one percent per year, making Jamaica one of the slowest growing developing countries in the world. The country accumulated public debt stood around 140% of GDP.
To reverse this trajectory, the Government of Jamaica embarked on a comprehensive and ambitious program of reforms for which it has garnered national and international support: a four-year Extended Fund Facility (EFF) by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) providing a support package of US$ 932 million; World Bank Group and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) programs providing US$ 510 million each to facilitate the GoJ's economic reform agenda to stabilize the economy, reduce debt and create the conditions for growth and resilience. In addition, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) will continue to support private sector development.
The reform program is beginning to bear fruit: Institutional reforms and measures to improve the environment for the private sector have started to restore confidence in the Jamaican economy. Jamaica jumped 27 places to 58 among 189 economies worldwide in the 2015 Doing Business ranking. The country's credit rating has improved and the Government has raised US$2 billion in the international capital market in 2015 at a time when investors were moving out of emerging market debt. Debt has also gone down from to 126% of GDP.
Economic growth rates have been low during the past three years but are steadily rising, and the World Bank forecasts GDP growth accelerating to 1.7 percent in 2016 and to over 2 percent in 2017, aided by improving growth in the U.S., low oil prices, and reforms of investment climate regulations. The country continues to be confronted by serious social issues that predominantly affect youth, such as high levels of crime and violence and high unemployment. Jamaica, which had seen its poverty rate drop almost 20 percent over two decades, saw it increase by eight percent in a few years after the onset of the global economic crisis.
The unemployment rate in Jamaica is estimated at 13.5 percent (October 2015, Statistical Institute of Jamaica). The unemployment rate for youth is considerably higher at 30.3 percent, and the average unemployment rate for women is double that for men: 18.5 versus 9.3 percent. However, Jamaica's skilled labor force and strong social and governance indicators remain its key assets.

From the outside looking in, it was easy to see Stan Van Gundy taking over as the new head coach and president of the Detroit Pistons as a move based primarily on positional security.
After all, if the Joe Dumars era taught Pistons fans anything, it's that having control of both the players and the purse string lends itself to some serious staying power.
But there's another, simpler motivation behind Van Gundy's recent ascendance, one that could lead to a new beast in the Eastern Conference: a chance to build around Andre Drummond.
Indeed, Van Gundy all but admitted that was the plan during his introductory press conference back in May, via Matt Watson of Detroit Bad Boys:
There's nothing about Andre Drummond that doesn't appeal to me. I think [this because of] his athleticism, what he's accomplished at a young age. And I was very impressed with my first phone call with him. ... The guy, man, he was asking questions like, 'What do I do? What do I need to do?' He's a guy that wants to be great…I think we have two responsibilities to Andre Drummond that will help our team. And that is, number one, to do everything we possibly can to develop him as a player.
In the 21-year-old center, Van Gundy has the spitting image of a young Dwight Howard, whom the longtime Orlando Magic coach rode to a showing in the 2009 NBA Finals.
Balderdash, you say? Take a look for yourself:
|Player (year)
|Dwight Howard (2005-06)
|Andre Drummond (2013-14)
It's still far too early to tell whether these comps portend a steady trend. But as a basketball Rorshach test, it's pretty hard to take your eyes off of. From their physical builds to their uncanny defensive instincts, the raw offensive rudiments to their woeful free-throw shooting, Drummond and Howard appear—on the surface—to be two sides of the same coin.
As he did with Howard, Van Gundy's best chance at building a contender depends on surrounding his new centerpiece with shooters aplenty.
Unfortunately, the team's current roster isn't exactly flush with perimeter firepower.
Jodie Meeks, whom the Pistons recently signed to a three-year, $18 million tender, is certainly a start. Beyond him, however, Detroit's legitimate three-point threats are limited to the middling Kyle Singler and the as-yet unproven Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. And while Caldwell-Pope is coming off a stellar showing at the Orlando Summer League, putting too much stock in an offseason showcase is seldom, if ever, advisable.
The more immediate concern for Van Gundy, from a purely rotational perspective, lies in figuring out how to best balance the talents of Detroit's ill-fitting frontcourt trio: Drummond, Josh Smith and Greg Monroe.
In a surprising turn of events, Monroe on Tuesday became just the 14th first-round selection since 2003 to sign his qualifying offer, per SB Nation's Kevin Zimmerman, keeping the former Georgetown standout in the Motor City through at least next season.
At that point, however, it'd be hard to imagine Detroit—flush with cap space as it stands to be—breaking the bank to bring Monroe back. Particularly with Drummond eligible to receive the rookie max extension next summer.
During a recent press conference—via the AP, courtesy of NBA.com—Van Gundy intimated that not bringing Monroe back wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
"We're comfortable with all of the options," Van Gundy said. "On the parts that we can control, we're comfortable that we'll be OK no matter what. There can't be a trade we don't like."
Rather than lose Monroe for nothing, Van Gundy would be wise to explore sign-and-trade options designed to bring back either cheap, young assets, or a comparable borderline star that fits better within Detroit's rotational scheme. From the AP story:
Van Gundy wants 'good value' for the restricted free agent if the franchise chooses to give him up in a sign-and-trade deal. He insisted even if the 24-year-old power forward gets offered a maximum contract by another team, the Pistons may determine they can live with paying him, Andre Drummond and Josh Smith a lot of money to essentially play two positions.
At this point, it's in Van Gundy and the Pistons' interest to have the rest of the league believe Monroe is a max player, if only to increase the value of any potential return haul. That's not overinflating Monroe's value for the sake of doing so; it's a great business strategy.
Smith, meanwhile, still has three years and $42 million left on his deal. The bad news: The mercurial forward is coming off his worst statistical season in years.
The good news: According to 82.games.com, Smith's numbers at the 4—both individually and team-wise—significantly outstripped his production when shoehorned into the small forward slot.
The sheer size of Smith's contract will make it difficult for Van Gundy to unload for at least another year. But with Monroe (eventually) out of the picture and Smith geared back toward his more natural position, the Pistons should be able to count on improved overall production from their high-profile frontcourt.
Smith doesn't quite fit the power forward mold exemplified in Orlando by Rashard Lewis or Hedo Turkoglu, particularly when it comes to three-point prowess. What Smith does provide, however, is a second rim-protector to pair alongside Drummond, giving Detroit one of the league's most intimidating low-post duos.
Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that the Pistons will in fact extend Drummond on the rookie max scale—something in the neighborhood of $15 million per year.
Assuming the team picks up Caldwell-Pope's player option, that would put Detroit somewhere in the neighborhood of $40 million in committed salaries heading into the 2015-16 slate. With CBA expert Larry Coon projecting the attendant cap to be around $66.5 million, that gives Van Gundy roughly $26.5 million to play with ahead of next summer's free-agency period.
Gerald Henderson, Jared Dudley, Khris Middleton, Chase Budinger, Wesley Matthews, Rudy Gay, Danny Green—these are just some of the players slated to hit the open market next summer, each of whom would give Van Gundy the three-point marksmanship a Drummond-centered team would need. Albeit at drastically variable price tags.
The following summer, the crop only gets more enticing, with DeMar DeRozan, Arron Afflalo, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Nic Batum typifying a star-studded class that could also include LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
In short, Van Gundy might've inherited a franchise in something of a financial and rotational rut. At the same time, with Drummond as its cornerstone and cap space galore on the horizon, it's not hard to see Detroit being a major player as early as next season.
It's no wonder, then, that Van Gundy would want as much control as possible over the Pistons' near-future prospects; in the end, it's a team as much steeped in a rebuild as it is enticingly close to reloading.
With the NBA's guiding positional philosophies changing all the time, it's difficult to say whether pivoting around a player of Drummond's skill set—a potentially unparalleled rim-protector, yes, but with flaws aplenty at the other end—is the safest strategic play.
All the same, the always direct Van Gundy, itching as he must've been for one more shot at a championship, would probably have no qualms whatsoever with authoring another finals run by way of that age-old adage: Go big, or go home.
