Kerry Hughes, 42, is a personal trainer who works out of Fitness Factory at the Southgate Plaza in West Seneca. She teaches classes including "Burn 60," an hourlong, boot-camp-style, "intensive, kick-butt workout."
What are the staples of your diet?
Water, lots of water – the best thing you can drink – chicken and dark green vegetables: spinach, asparagus, broccoli and Brussels sprouts.
How can you make some of that stuff taste good?
Vegetables are an acquired taste for the most part. Basically, I use olive oil and sea salt or pepper to give it a little more seasoning.
Do you ever give yourself a break and try something bad?
Once a week. I don't do a cheat day, but I do a cheat meal. My favorite is pasta.
What are your to-die-for healthy and unhealthy foods?
Unhealthy, it's probably going to be some kind of sweets. When I'm making the kids cookies, I may have one or two. I try not to eat them all!
If I do splurge, it's only every couple of weeks.
And I crave a really good steak. It would be a healthy to-die-for food because I only eat it once a week. Otherwise I eat chicken. If you keep the portion small and don't eat red meat all the time, it can be good for you.

The much-anticipated match-up has finally arrived.
Sole possession of first place in the Atlantic Sun Conference will be on the line Saturday night when the Stetson Hatters travel south to Fort Myers to take on the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles. Tip-off is set for 7:05 pm from Alico Arena. The game will be broadcast live on ASun.TV, as well as on WSBB 1230 AM New Smyrna Beach, 1490 AM DeLand, and on myam1230.com.
In what may very well likely be the first-ever meeting between two 8-0 teams in conference history, Stetson will carry a 15-4 overall record and a school-record 11-game winning streak into the contest with the Eagles. The Hatters are coming off a 62-39 victory over Northern Kentucky Monday night at the Edmunds Center. Victoria McGowan (16 points), Sasha Sims (13), and Jama Sharp (11) all scored in double figures, while Cherisse Burris pulled down 12 rebounds. The victory also marked Stetson's 14th straight win at home.
FGCU (15-5) is also streaking, having won nine in a row overall and 26 consecutive conference games dating back to the start of the 2011-12 season. The Hatters know they will have to be at the top of their game come Saturday night.
"They are a good team, and they play very well at home," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "You've have to play a complete game when you go down there; you have to be very good offensively and defensively. Our team has had to come through some adversity, and I think that's a good thing to have gone through before you have to go down there and play. I like our defense right now."
Stetson's defense has been brilliant during the 11-game winning streak. No opponent has shot over 40% from the floor or scored over 66 points over the last 11 games. The Eagles, however, are averaging 68.4 points per game and shooting 41.6% for the season.
"Defensively we need to be very, very good, we need to communicate well and get back in transition," McGowan said. "I think rebounding will also be very important in this game."
Saturday's meeting will be the first of two regular season meetings between the Hatters and Eagles, who will also meet on Feb. 23 at the Edmunds Center. The teams could possibly meet for a third time in the A-Sun tournament, as they did in last year's championship game.

The best system out there. the only people who bitch about it are who were stupid enough to believe the hype that Bill Gates put out there. People can say that it breaks easily or it has poor graphics(it has neva broken for me, and the graphics aren't that different), but the fact of the matter is, Sony is still dominating the industry. All developers come to Sony first and the rejects go to Nintendo and then to Microsoft. Playstation2 is the succesor to PSONE, the only game system in its time, so whoever hates it only does coz they were too cheap to buy it and missed the fun.
PS2 and Xbox are about the same price retard!!

A 61-year-old man was bitten by a shark this morning as he was snorkeling with another man about 200 yards off a beach fronting Halama Street in Kihei, causing officials to prohibit people from going in the ocean nearby, a county announcement said.
Tom Kennedy of Oregon suffered multiple lacerations to his lower left leg and thigh. He was treated on shore and taken to the Maui Memorial Medical Center.

While awaiting surgery this afternoon at the hospital, Kennedy said from his hospital bed that the incident occurred when he and relatives took out their stand-up paddle boards to snorkel.
He said the water was "turbid" in the area and no fish were around so they were getting ready to get on their boards to move to a better location when the attack took place.
"I was just moving along in a straight line and suddenly I felt a sensation, something big grabbing me on the leg and (I) turned, obviously it was a shark, I could see its left eye and part of its sort of face and head, (then) it released me. I started swimming as fast as I could," said Kennedy. "Obviously, I wanted to get out of the water. I kept watching behind; I was concerned it would come back again."
Article Map
Waters off of Kamaole Beach Park III to past Waipuilani Park to the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary were closed to swimmers and would remain off limits until sunset today.
The situation will be re-evaluated Saturday. If there are no additional confirmed sightings, the area will likely re-open at 11 a.m. Saturday, the county said.
The size of the shark and its species were unknown, but the victim reported the shark's head was about 2 feet wide.
Warning signs were posted. A Fire Department helicopter surveying the area after the attack spotted an 8-to-10 foot tiger shark in the waters off the sanctuary.
Maui County Ocean Safety officers patrolled the water on personal watercraft. Officials with the state Department of Land and Natural Resources also responded to the incident reported at 10:15 a.m.

Insurers carriers are flaw in mammography
Dr. Anna Chen and Dr. Thomas Summers, in their Nov. 29 Another Voice, are right on with regard to mammography, which has significantly improved over the last few decades, as have the radiologists who read the images. It is the best, lowest-cost, mass screening tool we currently have, with limitations. When additional resources are needed because of these limitations, the more definitive tool in diagnosing breast cancer is MRI (MR Mammography). With regard to diagnostic breast imaging, the major "flaw" in the system is the insurance carriers.
I have been on the phone for an entire afternoon to get a patient's breast MRI authorized, received approval from the insurance carrier's physician (an internist in California) following a peer-to-peer review, only to have to jump through all the hoops all over again when I call the local carrier back. Are you kidding? Your expert physician just approved it, right there in your computer system, on your screen as we speak. It's Friday, 5 p.m. Eastern time, sorry Ms. Smith, we couldn't get your MRI authorized, so you won't know if you have breast cancer until next week. That is if you don't follow the insurance carrier's algorithm that says you can wait six months for a follow-up mammogram.
Buffalo has excellent diagnostic breast imaging capabilities and radiologists who interpret them. Trust the patients, physicians and radiologists when this is needed, not the insurance carriers.

Try this out: Find a builder offering new houses for less than $300,000 in a tight-knit community east of the Cooper.
For one, count Beazer Homes. The national company opened an 18-home hamlet near S.C. Highway 41 and U.S. Highway 17 in late spring.
Known as The Enclave at Gregorie Ferry, the neighborhood showcases houses 1,660-2,855 square feet and priced from the $240,000s. Moreover, the homes carry ecofriendly perks designed to cut power bills.
"We are thrilled about the opening of The Enclave at Gregorie Ferry and bringing our Energy Star-certified homes to our newest location in Mount Pleasant," says Doug Schwartz, division president with Beazer.
"This community is special in that it offers the convenience of being right off of Highway 17, but with all the pleasures of a small, quiet community," he says.
The Enclave at Gregorie Ferry promotes its centralized location in burgeoning Mount Pleasant. The village stands minutes from Mount Pleasant Towne Centre — home to shopping, movies and restaurants. Scenic beaches at the Isle of Palms can be reached in minutes, says Penny Davis, new home counselor for Beazer Homes.
The Enclave at Gregorie Ferry rises a few miles from Lieben Park, a Beazer community on Highway 17, which sold out in less than two years. "We made 102 families happy homeowners," she says.
Public schools close to The Enclave at Gregorie Ferry include Laurel Hill Primary, Charles Pinckney Elementary, Thomas C. Cario Middle and Wando High. There's also private, charter and magnet school options, Davis says.
The community opened for sale June 1. Eight homes pre-sold. The village contains 18 home sites.
Buyers can choose from six floor plans: the McKinley, Washington, Madison, Lincoln, Wilson and Carver.
Base prices stay below $300,000. The two-story models encompass two-car garages and consist of three to six bedrooms and two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half baths.
Beazer offers a slew of options, too. Depending on the design, the extras include additional bedrooms; a kitchen island; home office; loft; fireplace in the great room or family room; screened-in porch; and deluxe master bath with tub, separate shower and linen closet.
Each home is built to easily exceed Energy Star standards, Davis says. The "high performance" green homes can save purchasers hundreds of dollars a year on their energy bills.
"You can expect your new home in The Enclave at Gregorie Ferry to have monthly gas and electric bills for around $92- $125," she says. "We have set the bar high, allowing you to save up to 43 percent in energy cost."
Top-end features consist of gas tankless water heaters, a "radiant roof barrier" to reduce attic heat, advanced framing techniques to conserve energy, heavy-duty wall and attic insulation, "jumper ducts" to balance air flow, high efficiency air conditioning unit, 95 percent efficiency natural gas furnace, double pane vinyl windows, wireless home energy monitor, Honeywell-brand programmable thermostats, compact fluorescent light bulbs and dual-flush elongated commodes.
Beazer offers a bunch of incentives. They include contributing up to $4,000 towards closing costs as long as purchaser financing is handled by one of the seller's preferred lenders and a $2,000 "hometown hero" discount that applies to doctors, nurses, EMTs/paramedics, firefighters, teachers, police and military – active, reserves, National Guard or retired. Also available is a $1,500 Boeing employee discount.
Sales hours for The Enclave at Gregorie Ferry run 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and 1-6 p.m. Sunday. Shoppers can visit on Wednesday by appointment.
Similar models stand at Lieben Park. Head north on Highway 17 in Mount Pleasant. Across from Wando High School, take a right and Lieben Park is ahead.
To see The Enclave at Gregorie Ferry property, take Highway 41 off Highway 17. Turn at the first right, which is Gregorie Ferry Road, and the neighborhood is ahead.
For more information, visit www.beazer.com/charleston-SC/the-enclave-at-gregorie-ferry or contact Davis at 843-697-2480 or email@example.com.

quote: No offense but I'm glad they have ignored your suggestion. Why on Earth would you want to remember, and type, a password frequently when you can just click a UAC prompt to achieve the same goal?
quote: Also your suggestion is a bit redundant because you actually CAN make the UAC also function with password. However a good suggestion would be to make this process a bit easier and intuitive to the end user, I agree.
quote: That should be much easier to enable or disable. Why isn't it right next to the UAC slider??
quote: I think requiring a password in the "UAC state" is more secure. Imagine a scenario where I leave my laptop unattended for some unknown reason. Guy comes over, pops in his flash drive, and installs a malicious program. Password prompt inside UAC stops that from happening. I think this style of attack is called the "evil maid" attack.
quote: Agree. Well Microsoft got really serious about security some time ago. But what they found was that if you go TOO secure, it turns people off. Remember all the Vista complaints about the UAC? And that was a more toned down version of what they originally wanted to do. Also from a customer support view, I'm sure not requiring a password cut out some millions of calls from people who can't install something because they "forgot" their password lol.
quote: Now this is valid of course. Having an OS that's secure from physical intrusions is novel. I would hope IT departments are pushing the UAC password state. I would actually be interested in knowing how widespread, if at all, that practice is.
quote: Forgotten passwords... ugh... I do web apps (CRM/ERP) and I cannot tell you how many times I get emails about forgotten passwords. How?!? Perhaps that is why Microsoft hid it.
quote: I didn't even know it existed.
quote: That should be much easier to enable or disable. Why isn't it right next to the UAC slider?

It's over for Tim Boland and Blair Bike & Board.
Starting about eight years ago, Boland began raising money to build a skatepark somewhere in the Altoona area.
Last week, the Central Blair Recreation & Park Commission pulled its support for the project, saying Blair Bike & Board has made too little progress over too many years.
In September, Boland and the board had agreed to shrink the project to fit the $100,000 the organization had raised so far. Six years ago, the project was slated to cost $1 million.
But the parties recently learned that the designated tract for the skatepark near Blair County Ballpark was in a floodplain, requiring prep work that would consume half the project budget, according to commission Executive Director Mike Hofer.
That would leave too little even for a shrunken project, he said.
The board had been pressuring Boland to begin work despite his massive fundraising shortfall, because a small grant from the Tony Hawk Foundation was set to expire in June.
"When you start taking money out of the bank, it's never a good thing," Hofer said.
Now it's over.
"I'm bummed out that we couldn't get it completed," said Boland, a teacher at Altoona Area Junior High School. "We kept running into issue after issue with pretty much everything."
The flood plain revelation was "pretty much the final straw," he said.
The board likewise is disappointed, according to Hofer.
"Nobody really wanted to see the project go away," he said.
"But we can't be putting all this time into it when it's not going to happen," said Bill Schirf, a commission member. "After so many years, there was just not enough money raised."
The biggest chunk the group raised was a $71,000 grant earmarked by U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-9th District, in the 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Bill.
That money may go toward the commission's spraypark project on the site of the defunct Memorial Pool in Juniata, if Shuster's office OKs it, Hofer said.
The remaining money raised by Boland will go toward the Altoona Area School District program SOAR - Study, Overcome, Achieve and Reward - which provides orientation and mentoring to motivated junior high school students, so they can eventually go to post-secondary education with financial assistance.
The funding will be designated to help a skateboarder.
Aside from the earmark and the Hawk grant, Boland's group raised between $7,000 and $12,000 through fundraising events and individual contributions, Boland estimated.
They never got far enough along to approach potential big business donors, he said.
Some of the money the group raised independently of the grants went toward creation of plans and to cover other expenses along the way, he said.
If Boland had it to do over again, he would have limited project presentations to "places that mattered."
He ended up talking to elected officials in far too many municipalities, he said.
"We did a complete circle and ended up back at the Rec office," he said. "We lost two or three years going from place to place."
That two or three years meant that when the national economy collapsed and nonprofit organizations tightened up their grant programs, the group had still not raised much money, he said.
The board might have done better with fundraising if the skateboarding community was more organized, like basketball or baseball, he said.
Those sports have teams, whose members meet regularly with coaches, giving the coaches access to kids' contact numbers, making fundraising feasible, he said.
Skateboarders tend to be independent agents, the kids who don't like to join teams, he said.
The project still might also be viable if the Rec Commission had some other more cost-effective site available, Boland said.
But it doesn't, he said.
Boland would be willing to help some other organizer take up the cause, calling it a "much needed project. I still think there's interest."

LAHAINA - Rapid development, fallow plantations and byproducts - like herbicides and pesticides still in the soil and abandoned dirt roads - as well as animal feces, landscaping fertilizer, treated wastewater and open storm water drains are all damaging West Maui's coral reefs, members of a multiagency nonprofit community task force announced last week.
But the task force has readied a plan to save or restore at least two coral reefs and is on the cusp of beginning remedial efforts, said West Maui Watershed and Coastal Management coordinator Tova Callender.
The draft Wahikuli-Honokowai Watershed Management Plan examines the causes of coral reef degradation and recommends solutions, along with estimated price tags and possible schedules for more assessments and then implementation of ways to improve the offshore environment.
The difference with this plan, compared to many existing ocean pollution studies, is that it looks mauka and for land-based causes, Callender said.
"We've been beating the hell out of the ocean from the ocean, and we've been beating the hell out of the ocean from the land," said Andy Hood, plan consultant and hydrologist/principal with Sustainable Resources Group Intn'l Inc.
However, implementing everything in the two-volume document would take years and millions of dollars, organizers and their materials said.
For the first time on Maui, though, there is a plan for two Valley Isle coral reefs, which they noted are integral to the island's tourism-based economy.
The first priority is to work with landowners of old corn seed, pineapple and sugar cane field roads. The team lists remedies such as grading, road dip and sediment-collection basins, according to a plan handout.
That's because the roads act as erosion funnels to the ocean during a storm, Hood said.
Everyone's seen those red clouds hang in the nearshore water for days after a heavy rain, he said. Not only does the sediment strangle the living coral, but chemicals from garbage, agriculture and landscaping can be deadly, too.
That's not to mention the "nutrients" still inside the treated wastewater that Maui County continues to put underground and into the ocean, according to the plan.
The Wahikuli and Honokowai watersheds in question are side by side and encompass 6,420 acres and 3.9 miles of shoreline and 5,631 acres and 1.7 miles of shoreline, respectively.
"Hopefully, we'll be sticking shovels into the ground by the end of the year," Callender said of plans for improvements.
Residents have until Oct. 31 to weigh in on the plan's second and final draft. It goes over the strategies and implementation methods. The first volume identified land uses and watershed conditions, then set priorities.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coral Reef Conservation Program is leading the effort, said project manager Kathy Chaston.
"It seems like you're doing a lot to address reducing the sediment but not the chemicals inside it," said Penny Wakida, who spoke at a recent public meeting as a concerned West Maui resident. She also serves on the Maui Planning Commission.
Sediment is a focus of conservation efforts because it's most often the chemical conduit to coral, the plan's authors said. Plus, the entire region they plan to study in the new Ridge to Reef Program covers about 24,000 acres in West Maui. That's a lot of land. Most of it is made up of old plantations with lots of owners now who might not want to take part or make any contributions to the cause, officials said.
The county's Lahaina Wastewater Reclamation Facility role involves pouring 3.5 million to 5 million gallons a day of nutrient-rich treated water underground using injection wells, Hood said. These nutrients have been blamed, at least in part, for killing coral and feeding algae blooms that strangle it.
Mayor Alan Arakawa has promised to redirect as much of the treated water as possible for irrigation.
By last account, 22 percent of what used to be county sewage and gray water poured underground now supplies golf courses and lawns. Former Mayor Charmaine Tavares planned to eliminate the county's 18 injection wells within a decade.
Four environmental groups also have sued the county in federal court demanding that the Lahaina facility get a special federal permit that sets limits on what pollutants can be discharged. While the facility does have an EPA administrative permit for the wells, federal officials also demanded that the treated water be disinfected.
Ridding West Maui of injection wells is estimated to take at least eight years and millions of dollars to build the pipes, pumps, power sources and reservoirs needed to irrigate farm fields, resorts and golf courses, according to the management plan.
The watershed management plan also calls for installing a series of mesh traps and other filter devices along gulches and dams to grab debris and dirt before it reaches the Pacific.
In town, the focus is on installing grates over storm water exits and installing more filter systems and planting particular flora that absorbs oil and other contaminants from streets and parking lots, Hood said.
But some county employees said they were concerned about whether they'd be able to keep up with cleaning out and maintaining the equipment, considering their staff cuts in recent years.
Hood said the group also met with a lot of the landowners, who "used the land to reap profits and have left it" to decay. If the owners will pitch in financially or more agriculture can somehow return, growing crops using treated irrigation is the best way to keep the sediment in place and the roads in good shape.
One concern is that if the watersheds' fields get hosed down with treated water just to get rid of the dense volcanic topsoil, weeds will sprout up, Hood said. Aside from exacerbating the invasive species problem, it would also worsen Maui's drought-induced brush fire hazards, he said.
Not everyone has to volunteer to dig trenches or empty grates of pop cans and twigs.
There are little things residents can do to protect Maui's reefs, such as washing your car on your lawn or disconnecting gutters to help water the grass, Callender said.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and state Department of Land and Natural Resources devoted $3 million to the Hawaii Ridge to Reef Program, which includes the Wahikuli-Honokowai plan, Chaston said.
The overall goal is to protect West Maui's Kahana, Honolua and Honokahua watersheds, too. There are a few similar projects under way on other islands.
As lead agency, NOAA will apply for grants to cover costs as the plan progresses, Chaston said.
The consultants said the effort is not about enforcing environmental regulation.
"Why don't you find out why and how the coral is dying first?" asked Native Hawaiian elder Leslie Kuloloio. He said something must be done, and the reefs "are a mess."
But people should know exactly what diseases are killing the coral before the government comes in and decides on cures, Kuloloio said.
Darla White, special projects coordinator for the DLNR Division of Aquatic Resources, said officials know what kills coral. There's also a West Maui study under way.
Chaston added that a NOAA expert was out in the water last week collecting samples for the report.
"This plan is necessary, holistically, to sustain our whole life," said Native Hawaiian advocate Foster Ampong.
The participants do include some property owners as well as NOAA, EPA, the Army Corps of Engineers, Maui County, state DLNR and Health departments, West Maui Mountains Watershed Partnership, Coral Reef Alliance, National Fish and Wildlife, Hawaii Community and Harold K.L. Castle foundations, and the Kaanapali Makai Watch.
Chaston said the group chooses reefs that can be saved. West Maui reportedly lost about 25 percent of its coral reefs in roughly the past decade. There are other Maui reefs reportedly virtually dead already.
Callender said she wants see people step up and become community facilitators who will shepherd other residents to help realize the plan.
"We need the community to get behind our goals," Callender said.

Chevy Volt and 2011
Nissan LEAF EV are preparing to launch later this year.
That's familiar news to most, but what might be a little more hazy is
how the growing ranks of EVs are getting their power.Amid all
the EV excitement, charging has
been one topic that has been decidedly undercovered -- largely due to
lack of available information. However, the Michigan Public
Service Commission this week announced that
it had approved the state's first experimental rate for residential
customers to recharge their EVs. Utility DTE
Energy Co.'s Detroit Edison unit filed the application. By
having a regimented payment infrastructure and usage monitoring, the
utility will be able to better cope with demand and presumably
provide customers with more competitive rates than if it left them on
their own to install home charging stations and charge off their
current connections.DTE Energy is offering EV customers two
options -- either pay a flat rate of $40 per vehicle per month, or
sign up for a lower, variable off-peak rate. The big expense
will be the installation of a specialized meter circuit and charging
station -- DTE Energy says that customers may be charged up to $2,500
for that. It's unclear whether automaker-provided
chargers will be compatible with DTE's system.The
trial program will run through December 31, 2012 and can cover up to
2,500 consumers.For moderately heavy drivers (40-100 miles
per day), assuming $40/week in gas expenses and the full charging
station cost, it looks like customers will start to see savings in
about 2 years. While those savings have a long way to go
towards justifying the large cost premiums on the Volt and Leaf,
they're a start, at least.

A very common name among the black race. To the average white man, this is every black person's name.
Where's jamal?? A common game found in rural areas dominated by the white man, in which when a black man is located, the locator calls out "Where's Jamal??" and the objective is to find jamal.

A name commonly found among Muslims from all parts of the world. Jamal appears in the Quran, the holy book of Islam, and is thus popular as a name. The meaning of Jamal when translated from arabic is the beautiful or handsome one. This is also related to the name Jamil which means beauty.

After peaking at $705 on the day the Apple iPhone 5 launched, it has been look out below for Apple's shares and the subsequent 20% drop in price brings the stock within $45 of a target of $510 that was predicted back in April...

Apple is in a wave A of wave 5 correction. You have no clue about what this means. If this is true there wont be a next year.
Wave 3 top was 600 and that guy predicted a 545.00 decline, and in that last write up I posted that Apple may see 525 or lower and it did fall to 517 so how was he wrong or way early. The writer of this article has no clue either because had he checked he would see that that guy was way correct and not early at all.
Wave 5 Elliot wave expansion 1.38 was 700.00 and that was the end of the line for now. Apple will try to retest that high as a wave B, and fail then wave C will happen. Apple is already under the 200 day moving average which means funds are have sold or already unwinding. When wave C happens any one near Apple will not be happy.
Those were the technical's, and they look bad since apple is under the 200 day average that means lots of selling. Apple has not failed that 200 day average since the last stock market decline of last years June fail.
The stock market 5 wave cycle is complete since the 2008 decline we did a 78.6% retrace of 1575 2007-2008 top. The major correction is already starting next year may not be pretty
We will test 1390, and then 1336, and if we fail there look for 1200's "IF" you are in any stocks or have investments it is now time to go defensive. By years end it will not be good. Tech is finally about to fall with Apple leading the decline.
Let's see if the Fed's can Q.E. this.....ooops they already are until 2015. I can't wait to see how this is going to play out.
At any rate Elliot waves works and that guy was correct, because Apple did fail to 517.00 before climbing back to a 1.382 projected wave 5 top.
Apple is one of the best performing tech stock of the last 4 years period. Embrace what they have done. I am an Android guy but you have to give them credit for changing the Tech game in the phone/computer technology arena.
46. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
That's right thumb me down rather than to understand what it is that you are thumbing down. Apple will fail after attempting to rise and when it does I will be just as correct as I was in the last article PA wrote about the Elliot wave prediction. I chart the market and stocks like Apple and also led a group of private investors discussing technical's on the regular.
My friends will tell you that my EW targets are always correct!

61. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
Don't be foolish re-read what I wrote, and investigate this. When you are done investigating you will find that you don't dip buy at a wave 5 top. This is a wave "A" down correction of wave 5 up. If Apple continue to 545-517.00 and holds then wave B retrace will try to reach 700.00 possibly by Xmas. and then wave C will happen.
When Wave C of major wave 5 top fails holy hell will let loose in that stock period. 79.00-700.00 from December 2008-2012 is a lot of profit, and dip buyers at the top is why B waves trick so many dip buyers. I have led technical classes on the smart traders site and investors web site for a group that will tell you that I am correct.
I have taught many people how the waves and pivot points affect stock price action,

Since they were up over $700 mid September and now closed at $558 today on November 7, yes they are doing really bad. A 21% drop in less than 2 months is cause for alarm for any company. Jeffrey Gundlach from Doubleline Capital is projecting them to fall to $425. That would make it a 40% drop. Just like the .com era, their bubble has burst.

100% agree with you. They don't manufactured their own product and mostly their ideas in creating their products are based on stealing, copying and worst is claiming they created it.. With the new litigation with Samsung, it might affect more their stocks. I'm sure some stockholders doesn't like apple the way it compete, sooner or later they will leave apple.
20. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
I just don't agree with you, Apple is based solely on tech, think about it: there's the Original iPhone, then there's the iPhone 3G, then the iPhone 3GS, the iPhone 4, the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and we mustn't forget the New iPads 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. And, now, there's the MiNiPad and the unannounced iPhone 5STD. Not to mention all those great adapters that they use on their devices and the FABULOUS Apple iMaps on iOS 6. So, you see, Apple is 'full of tech'; the kind of tech that backs-up a toilet in a power outage due to a storm. Hey, but some people's sewerage back-up is another person's gold mine.

You did not understand me, Apple is tech company but Apple's tech is based only on brand name (marketing) and nothing more. Other companies are working on both sides high specification technologies and marketing while Apple is working almost only on one side marketing (a.k.a. fooling people).

Exactly right.
Take Samsung for example. Pretty much all of the core components that make up their phones and tablets, they actually design and build (screens, cpu's memory, etc, etc) - where as Apple claim everything they didnt make is theirs..

Being one of the oldest tech geeks on this site, I've been around Apple a long time. I have tried to make my opinion as clear as possible through experience. Apple's most glorious moments were with Steve Jobs manning the ship. Now that he is no longer present, Apple's history is slowly starting to repeat itself. Steve was Apple, Apple followed Steve and the consumers loved the combination of Apple products in conjunction with his boisterous leadership. While Apple is strong, the turn has begun to happen. Apple needs to innovate strongly along with more open acceptance and less proprietization. They cannot just evolve from their present products or position. This is where the rubber meets the pavement. If not, this will be Apple's last recovery. Cheerleading blindly at this point, is ignoring the true reality of what I am trying to convey. Do Apple supporters not see the tremendous inroads competiton has made to bring more exciting products to the market? It cannot be denied. Calling products cheap in comparison of Apple, has now become irrelevant. It simply doesn't compute.

54. AnTuTu (Posts: 1580; Member since: 14 Oct 2012)
Well said Slammer +1.
To be very honest I liked Apple when Steve was around. But now these guys are following different approach.
They have been keep on pushing the same product which Steve led 6 years back.
Why I hate Apple now because they are accusing one of my favorite manufacturer "Samsung" without any reason.
69. Slammer (Posts: 1515; Member since: 03 Jun 2010)
We cannot deny the success and overall feat that Apple has accomplished. But, as we have seen historically, Steve Jobs was the sizzle for the steak. Apple eliminating and moving associates around, is a desperation move. We must remember that Steve Jobs hand picked both Jony Ive, Tim Cook and Scott Forstall. Whether they saw eye to eye on everything or not, this was the dream team that catapulted the company to stardom. With descention amoung the crew since Steve's passing, I fear that the vulnerability has overtaken any further success for Apple. The wealth Steve created and left for Apple will sustain them for some time. However, the very substance that elevated them to their current position; is gone.

Sounds about right. Their market capitalization a while ago was just unrealistic. $625 billion, I believe it was. That's basically Google, Microsoft, and Intel combined, maybe with room for a relatively tech company in there (AMD, ARM, NVIDIA, or something of that nature). If you wish, swap Amazon in for Intel.

Football's Kovanda to Compete in NFLPA All-Star Game
Scott Kovanda, a senior punter on the 2012 Ball State football team, has announced he will compete in the 2013 National Football League Players Association Collegiate Bowl Jan. 19, at the Home Depot Center on the campus of California State University Dominguez Hills in Carson, Calif.
Kovanda, who has been invited to the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine, was one of three finalists for the 2012 Ray Guy Award, which goes to the nation's top collegiate punter. Kovanda, a captain for the Cardinals, helped Ball State rank second in the country in punt return defense, allowing only 1.0 yards per return and having only six punts returned this season. He pinned opponents inside the 20-yard line 27 times in 2012.
For one week preceding the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, participants will receive an in-depth introduction to the union - the primary resource for information on the business of football and how to succeed in the NFL and in post-football careers.
Pro football players and coaching legends will work with the game's future stars, giving them first-hand insight on what it takes to win on and off of the field. Herm Edwards and Dick Vermeil will serve as the head coaches for the American and National Teams. Player Ambassadors for the game include former NFL players Terrell Davis, Hank Baskett, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Lorenzo Neal and Andre Reed.
Kovanda helped the Cardinals to a 9-4 overall record in 2012 and a berth in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl St. Petersburg. He punted 44 times this season and pinned opponents inside the 20-yard line 27 times. Kovanda punted for 1,767 yards and a 40.2 average this season, including six punts of 50 or more yards. Kovanda had 223 career punts for 9,154 yards and a 41.0 career average. He ranks fourth all-time at Ball State in career punt yardage, fourth in career punts and third in career punt average.

I have never lived more than ten minutes from the lake. I pretty much live on the lake now and jog by it daily. I have spent most of my life fishing this lake. Back in the 90's the lake was very good for panfish and bass.
Despite what people will tell you I would never say it has been a good walleye or pike/muskie lake. Remember I have fished lake marburg every way there is to fish ice,boat,fly rod exc. But than again my idea of good is different than others.
To be honest with you I am not sure I have ever caught a muskie out there. I have caught a decent amount of pike though. As far as walleyes go id say its a joke sorry folks this is not a world class walleye fishery. You may catch one here and there while bass fishing but your wasting time if you target them.
The lake currently is not in good shape. The white perch are everywhere and it is POLLUTED with Gizzard Shad. Any of you that have boats with good electronics know this to be true. This lake needs stripers. The Old timers and the pa fish and boat that think the lake is a world class fishery are whats killing the lake. There is nothing but prey fish in the lake except bass. The pan fish populations are ok but size is pathetic because there is millions of white perch.
Than you get to fishing pressure which is very very high. Plus many of our hanover locals are not real good with catch and release many pan fish get taken out in the spring and I am talking about gills,crappies and yellow perch Not white perch. Last spring I was fishing for gills and a man on the shore was keeping them and throwing the white perch in the woods. Another problem is the stinking white perch can be really hard to catch. Sounds crazy but you can troll for them all day and catch next to nothing some days.

Wow. That is the complete opposite of what I was told and shown at our TU meeting. If you really want to worry about the lake as a fishery, I would certainly be looking at the DCNR proposal to spray herbicide on weed beds in the lake.

I think some of the folks that tend to think Marburg is all it can be need to take a few fishing trips. There are some real gem Lakes with in an eight hour drive of Hanover. New York has its finger lakes, lake oneida and chataqua (spelling) lake. All out of this world lakes.
Now I know you all will say yea but those lakes are huge compared to lake Marburg well ok. What about Maryland's Deep Creek Lake only a little bigger than Marburg but far and away a more productive lake. Than some of you will say none of these lakes have white perch ok. Well I have to tell you I would say all of Baltimore county's lakes Pretty Boy, Loch Raven, Liberty are far better than Marburg oh and liberty has stripers.
Folks Lake Marburg is a testament to how the state of PA mismanages its lakes. Plain and simple

trike 23: What specifically did "the state" do to mismanage the lake? For clarification purposes before you respond, "the state" did not introduce white perch or gizzard shad; those were apparently angler introductions. I can understand the desire to have a striped bass fishery, but based on much experience at other SE Pa lakes they would do little to "control" white perch or gizzard shad. Their value in that regard is undetectable.

trike 23: The only "control" that we have seen that is effetive in managing white perch populations is a naturally occurring fish kill, per Nockamixon Lake in 1985-1986. Gizzard shad periodically have naturally occurring fish kills during or just after the winter as energy reserves are depleted and vulnerability to diseases increases. Those populations in all cases we've seen quickly bounce back within a year.

Trike do you fish the same Lake Marburg?? It is tough at times but it is one of the better lakes in PA (I have fished all over PA). I have fished Marburg my whole life and have had many amazing days there.
Your statement about the white perch being hard to catch makes no sense either. If you give me a shoestring and a piece of metal resembling a hook I bet you I could still catch them. Im not trying to be ignorant but most of the people targeting white perch catch their fill every time they are out for them.

Yes at times in the spring you could perhaps catch them on a shoe string. Once the heat of July and August show up no that is not the case. You almost always catch them yes but fill your livewell up till it can not hold any more Id say it becomes harder.The perch tend to feed on very small things most times of the year. They are not always in the mood to chase down a crawler harness are a spinner. These fresh water white perch are not the same thing as there chesapeake bay cousins that eat anything. I may be inclined to agree that Marburg is one of the best "lakes" in Pa. But if that is so it is only because other than lake Erie there are not many lakes in PA. Like I stated earlier visit some of what new york has to offer and some of what Maryland has to offer and you will think a bit different of Lake Marburg. I have fished lake Marburg since I was knee high to a grass hopper and I have caught many fish out of her. But the last fifteen years the lake has been on a down turn. The yellow Perch I used to catch by the hundreds are mostly a thing of the past. The days of ice fishing from sun up to sun down and catching bull bluegills all day is Over.The lake with all the shad and white perch is not the same place it once was. If you are catching lots of big muskie out of Marburg God bless You im not at all calling you a lier. I dont really consider myself much of a muskie fisherman so any I would catch would be bass fishing anyways. But I just have a hard time thinking Lake Marburg could become a destination for muskie anglers IMHO.

And Mike Pa is not very well known for having outstanding fishing. The best thing we have are our trout streams which they do everything in there power to screw up (think big spring). I think I went a little far blaming them for Marburg. The fact is the state is broke they can not really offer much help.
Its just sad that we drained Shepperd Myers and other small lakes in a state that does not have many good places to fish warm water fish. Most of the time when you want to get the boat out you know that means you will be doing a little driving.

I fish Maryland a good bit and almost never see PA, DC or NJ plates when I'm down there. Up here in PA, on both trout streams and warm water locations (including Codorus SP) I see quite a few MD, DC and NJ plates. I can think of dozens of "good" places to fish WW fishes just here in SC PA (and that's without the Susky anymore).
I'm not a weekly regular on Marburg but I've fished it for over thirty years. Sure, the walleyes and yellow perch aren't what I remember them to be, but other game fish more than make up for it in my view. And yes the white perch can be tough to find in summer (like most fish in the lake) but I think they're pretty easy to catch when you find 'em.
You really seem to be down on Marburg.....to each his own.
I like it and believe, all things considered, it's better than 10 or 20 years ago.

Landlocked salmon have been introduced into Raystown but (to my knowledge) have never been stocked in Marburg. Cohos were tried briefly in Marburg.
Lakers might do okay in Marburg. They seem to thrive in Raystown which is similar with deep, cold, oxygenated depths.
However, my guess would be that Marburg isn't really deep enough or cold enough for lakers. Raystown is deeper and colder and has smelt. Lakers might be worth a try on an experimental basis although I'm also skeptical that enough anglers would target them. I'd vote to stick with muskies and add stripers if there's funding and enough public interest..

The merits of failing faster | Opensource.com
The merits of failing faster
Promoting a culture that supports failure is a foreign concept to most people, but not for the panelists speaking about open government and business at CityCamp Raleigh. According to the panelists, who range from vice presidents of corporations to chief information officers of Raleigh government, there is a general consensus that failing faster provides a quicker path to innovation.
Jimmy Goodmon, VP/GM, Capitol Broadcasting New Media Company (WRAL) and a member of the business panel, explained that failure is alright. You can take the lessons learned from your failures as intellectual property, and eventually, something will stick. People learn from failure and the quickest way to get something right is to see what doesn't work.
Andy Krzmarzick, Community Manager at GovLoop used the example of the Triangle Expressway, a new stretch of highway built in the Triangle that cost just over $1 billion. The Expressway is not used as heavily as projected and there have been flaws in the billing system. The panel suggested that some of these problems might have been avoided if there were smaller projects that failed. Failures could have worked out the flaws in this large, costly project.
Another important facet of this philosophy is transparency. Transparency builds trust, which is crucial for learning from failure. The panelists believed that without transparency, promoting failure is useless because failure is only valuable if one learns from mistakes. In other cultures where failure is not embraced, mistakes are often swept under the rug. Because failure is not seen as a negative thing in an open company or government, mistakes are published out in the open. The benefit? Anyone can learn from them and mistakes are repeated less often.
Members of the audience raised concern about promoting a culture where failure is ok—especially in the government sector. Some departments, like emergency response, cannot afford mistakes. The panelists acknowledged this concerned and explained that the process of work flow is very important. Every step requires open feedback and many eyes looking at the problem and solution.
DeLisa Alexander, Chief People Officer at Red Hat and a member of the business panel, cited a famous open source saying, "With many eyes, all bugs are shallow." The panel suggested that no new plan is foolproof and any reform can lead to mistakes. They believe that even in the case of emergency response, it is better to have a few small errors than one large mistake.
What do you think about promoting a culture that embraces failure? Have you experienced it at your job or working with government? We'd love to hear your thoughts.
You can also listen to the discussions if you missed CityCamp Raleigh.

How to succeed: fail early and often.
And observe all available examples of instructive failure. Social success depends on a compounding factor: concentrated learning from distributed trial & error.
This ain't rocket science. We're gonna fail to scale until we dramatically Open Source all education, training and especially ongoing practice.
The gravity of a bug is always a function of kinetics. In this case early detection & early intervention determine consequences.
Some people associate the errors and the failures to incompetence. Thus, I think it isn't easy to promote this culture in some organizations.
"Promoting a culture that supports failure" is a very big change in nowadays culture and goes in opposite direction of our objective: success. It would be better "promoting a culture that deals or manage or learn from or measure work from ...some failure".
Another element that must be known: good products or projects exhibit, as time elapses, some failures (supposed they are not engineered into).
You must take this into account when designing new products balancing costs, performance and failure.
Failures are built in. I suppose you know, for example, that really big buiding projects involve terrible failures: percentage of casualties.
Of course we know that we learn more from failure that from success alone, but it's essential to have time and resources to learn from THAT failure.
Please, don't make a big leap as you mean. Small changes are better.
Although I agree with keeping failures as small as possible, any successful company has more failures than successes. Look at Apple or Google. Each have a long history of failed products, and these don't cover the failures that didn't make it to market.
Failures >> Successes
It's that simple.
When I worked on Scientific Linux our philosophy was "release early, release often" But to go along with that philosphy we made sure that failures/bugs were as transparent as possible. I lost track of the number of times I publicly stated "That was my fault. Here is what I did. Here was the solution. Here is what we plan on doing so that won't happen again."
One would think that admiting mistakes would make our reputation go down, but just the opposite happened. People appreciated our openness and were able to see how we were using mistakes and failures to make a better distribution.
No surprise the toll road is a failure. People don't want to pay through the nose to ride on a highway when there are other routes. I think citizens also resent the fact that toll roads are always sold as a temporary tax to pay for the new highway but those temporary taxes always find a way to stick around forever.

An Underrated Sleeper
by Jagman from South Carolina | October 31, 2008
I recently bought my white '98 Regal GS with 81k miles from the original owner, a retired gentleman who passed on to me a beautifully maintained car with all the service records from day one. My GS is, indeed, a sleeper, basically invisible on the road but with outstanding performance from the supercharged 3.8 liter engine, plus all the comfort & convenience features you could ever want. After many years of owning mostly European sports sedans, the Regal GS is my first Buick. I'm enjoying it for what it is: an inexpensive daily driver with a great combination of performance and luxury. Handling & ride is softer than true performance sedans, but with the right tires, the Regal GS tuned suspension and 16" wheels give sufficient road feel and, in fact, handles just fine. My biggest cautionary note is to do a pre-purchase inspection, especially regarding leaking intake manifold gaskets and/or a leaking water pump. Both are notorious on GM engines from the 90's & early 00's. These engines are well known for blowing their intake gaskets as a result of poor GM gasket design combined with GM's infamous "longlife" Dexcool coolant. After my purchase, I had to install new intake gaskets (non-GM), plus a new water pump, thermostat & coolant. Be sure to switch your coolant to "normal" antifreeze. A complete flush is required - don't mix regular antifreeze with Dexcool. I also discovered I had no heat on the driver's side of the passenger compartment, & traced the problem to a bad left side AC/heat temp valve actuator, so added a new actuator to the final bill (about $1k). Do yourself a favor and use good quality engine oil, preferably a synthetic or synthetic blend, and a good filter. Also, don't scrimp on the GS supercharged engine by using any gasoline other than premium - the few extra pennies you spend at the pump will pay off in preventing possible engine damage from pinging. Premium gas will also insure you get the full benefit from all 240 horses under your hood! In the end, I'm glad I bought my GS & really enjoy driving it every day. With due diligence before a purchase, you'll be just fine with this underrated sleeper of a nice car.

From Mirror, wire reports
UNIVERSITY PARK - One-time Penn State football recruit Zayd Issah was arrested and charged Friday night with felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest and marijuana possession, according to court documents.
He did not post $20,000 bail and was arraigned on Saturday morning. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
Issah, 18, a linebacker from Harrisburg, was charged with counterfeiting in March, and PSU coach Bill O'Brien pulled his scholarship offer. On national signing day in February, O'Brien had spoken highly of Issah, saying he would have the opportunity to compete for playing time as a true freshman.
"If this is true, he certainly won't be part of the team," O'Brien told ESPN.com Saturday afternoon about the latest allegations against Issah.
The (Harrisburg) Patriot-News reported Saturday that a State College Police officer was injured while pursuing Issah. No details about the injury were available.
Issah had recently been placed on a probationary program that would likely have allowed him to avoid a criminal record, according to PennLive.com.

Home sweet home.
And the return of the Durango High School basketball teams couldn�t have come at a better time, too. The girls have dropped three in a row after an 8-2 start, while the boys were swept last weekend by Southwestern League foes Grand Junction and Montrose, the loss to the latter a difficult one-point defeat.
The need to break a pair of losing streaks adds an element of intrigue going into Thursday�s rivalry doubleheader against Montezuma-Cortez High School, starting at 5:30 p.m.
Fortunately for both DHS programs, they�ll play the next five at home after a road-heavy schedule to this point. And while both teams are excited to get the chance to put together a streak of a more positive type at home, the boys team may be the most relieved of the two. The DHS boys have played just once at home � a Jan. 15 win over Pagosa Springs � in their first 13 games.
�It�s always good to be home. ... Sitting on the bus all day to Grand Junction gets you stiff. ... It�s hard to get off and play,� said Nate Atencio, son of Joanne and Raymond Atencio.
Durango boys head coach Alan Batiste said it�s a matter of accentuating the positive for his squad, which sits at 9-4 and 2-2 in the SWL. While the loss to Montrose may have been unexpected given each team�s record, the Demons still are in the SWL hunt with a chance to make a run at home. And in three of their four losses, the Demons have fell by a grand total of seven points � which is why Batiste said he�s emphasizing finishing close games.
�It just comes down to us having to finish a game,� Batiste said. �Putting ourselves in position. Being 10 points better than every team we play.�
And a big part of being able to finish in close games is an ability to avoid letting mistakes snowball on themselves and become an even bigger issue. Mental toughness and the calmness to execute down the stretch often is the difference between wins and losses in tight contests � or in this case, between 9-4 and 12-1. Learning how to overcome will be critical for a team that�s eyeing the postseason.
�We�re just sitting there dwelling on a lot of stuff that happens in the game, and we�re letting it carry over into the game. And it�s affecting our play; it�s affecting them individually,� Batiste said. �So we�ve just got to be able to move on to the next play if things start going bad or adversity hits. ... We�re 9-4, and we still haven�t played a complete game offensively or defensively.�
On the girls side, head coach Nancy Smith�s squad hasn�t had much luck cracking the upper reaches of the SWL, falling to Fruita Monument, Grand Junction and Montrose � who have a combined record of 36-9 � in the last three games. But the head coach said she�s happy with the way her team�s banded together in the face of the season�s first real adversity, including the loss of Jessica Sigillito to a knee injury, something they couldn�t quite pull off last year during a 5-16 campaign.
�We are rallying around one another,� Smith said. �We�ve had several talks about how this is a point in the season when teams implode and how we really don�t want that. And them supporting one another, encouraging one another and pushing one another is going to be what keeps us from doing so.�
Senior guard Molly Barnes said lessons from last year have helped this year�s DHS squad�s chemistry, and the Demons will need to rely on each other perhaps even more this year as they try and battle the pressure of a possible run to the postseason.
On the floor, DHS will need to improve on an 11-percent shooting performance in last Saturday�s loss to Montrose, which hampered its ability to set up the full-court press, which works better after made baskets. The Demons, who hang their hat on defense, have allowed 51 points per game in conference play, a number they�ll start to look cutting into Thursday.
�Our defense, it wasn�t bad, but it wasn�t the best,� said Barnes, daughter of Joe Barnes and Carol Cunefare. �So I think we just have to come out with more intensity, because we always pick it up in the third and the fourth quarter, when we really need to do that from the very beginning.�
Fortunately, they�ll have a shot to get back on track against a winless Panthers team (0-12) that�s scored just a shade more than 20 points per contest in SWL play. And a pair of rivalry games in front of what�s a typically packed house might be just what the doctor ordered for both sets of Demons to shake back into form.

A shady person is someone who does not keep it real; a person who hides out; a person who keeps things to themselves.

I'm never there when I'm supposed to be but I'm always on time. You can say I'm a creeper. I don't like to be in the same place for too long. I like to keep my hood up. I have an excuse for everything. You find it hard to trust me. I have multiple personalities. I text people on my phone that aren't friends of yours. I have few friends but many acquaintances. I'm easy going. I'm pretty sneaky. I take lots of short cuts when traveling. I'll come and go like wind. I like to listen, and give you a blank stare while you talk. You'll never know what I'm thinking. I don't take very much seriously. I'll say anything to get your trust. I probably won't abuse it but if i have to i won't hesitate. I'll gossip with you and about you when your not around. Sure I'm a backstabber... I don't snitch, but i have dirt on everyone. I'm perfectly fine with myself. I'm independent. I hate being called out. Some say I'm shy but I'm just shady...

"To Sheila, Meg and Jack, thank you for being such good teachers and so inspirational. I learned more in 3 days with you than I did at all the other conferences (3) that I have attended in the past 3 years."
— Mary Lou Todd
"I also wanted to thank you again for a great conference. Just days after meeting with you individually and Jack in the manuscript group I felt my writing turn a necessary corner. It is a great feeling except for the fact that now I`m writing late into the night!"
— Pat La Pointe
What a wonderful weekend I had in Arizona! Once again the three of you gave a fabulous conference. You each bring a tremendous body of knowledge to those of us who aspire to the writing life, and your skill and kindness in teaching us makes the experience rich and pleasurable. Thank you so much. Each time I meet and work with all three of you, I gain skills, knowledge and an ever-increasing enjoyment in the process of writing. See you at the next one!

Crosby said he's not sure what provoked Milbury's tirade. The 24-year-old former MVP has been limited to 19 games over the last 15 months due to concussions.
"I don't know what he's looking for, if he's looking for attention. I don't know what it is," Crosby said Tuesday before the Penguins' game in Boston. "I really don't know where that came from. He's pretty good at twisting things around, that's for sure."
Therein lies Crosby's biggest problem that he still hasn't learned, KEEP YOUR DAMN MOUTH SHUT. If he would keep shut his pie hole, I think people might, and I use the word "might" loosely, have a little more respect for him. He couldn't keep his mouth shut when Pasha and Lids were suspended for not attending the All Star game and now with Milbury and Torts. As far as I'm concerned, he brings it all on himself. Just stop with the drama queen crap and play the game like a man.
