Coverage of the economy has dominated the news lately and it seems the reports could be doing more harm than good.
Negative headlines about companies "bleeding" workers and stocks "diving" for the worst can increase fear during a time of recession.
In response, many consumers save money and put their assets aside when, in reality, the economy needs their spending and other activity for stimulus.
CBN News spoke with financial consultant Maureen Flanagan about media coverage of the economy and how it has impacted Americans.

HOW TO COPE WITH JEALOUSY (iVillage.com)
� Every single time you have a jealous thought, write it down and rate how strongly you believe it on a scale from one to 10. Ex: My boyfriend is having an affair with a girl from work: Nine.
� Underneath the sentence, list all the reasons why you believe it is or isn't true, no matter how silly they sound. Ex: "He's working late a lot." "He wore his lucky pants to work."
� Wait two minutes and dwell a bit longer on how upset and angry you feel. Deliberately stay in the "rage" state of mind a little while so every single one of those suspicious thoughts surfaces for you to write down.
� Wait another two minutes, but now try to come out of the "rage" state and calm down. Breathe deeply, remind yourself of how you felt after the last jealous rage (unjustified). Then force yourself to challenge each and every point you've listed with a logical explanation. If you find this difficult, imagine your best friend is there with you. How might she challenge those thoughts? Write down the explanations even if you don't believe what you're writing. (He's working late because he wants a promotion. He wore his lucky pants because he had an important presentation.)
� Read through what you've written, focusing on the logical explanations - and re-rate how strongly you now believe the initial thought is true. Accept that there's as much possibility the logical statements are true as it's possible your jealousy-inspired accusations are true.
� Don't rejoin your partner until you've reduced your initial rating (example: nine) at least one point. Don't be alarmed if the minute you walk out of wherever you've been hiding, it all comes flooding back and you shoot back up to nine. Just congratulate yourself that you regained a small amount of control when normally you would have just stormed out without thinking.
� If you still feel out of control, repeat the exercise or leave. Go back and go through the steps one more time. If it's not working, go home - with or without your partner - and try it again there.

• A cost-benefit analysis should be seen not as a mechanism for deciding mechanically on the allocation of funds and resources among programs but as a structure for weighing advantages and disadvantages (that is, for organizing knowledge). Considering all the forms of benefits and costs that we were able to derive in monetary terms, the experimental program provided both additional benefits and additional costs as compared with the conventional treatment. However, the added benefits, some $1,200 per patient per year, are nearly $400 more per patient per year than the added costs. A number of the forms of benefits and costs that we have measured in quantitative but nonmonetary terms show additional advantages of the community-based experimental program. The generalizability of a single experiment is limited, but the methodologies developed may be useful if their proper role is appreciated.

Skip to comments."Bombshell" to Explode Governor Paterson?
Posted on 02/05/2010 3:41:45 PM PST by AtlasStalled
The rumor mill is churning right now about a "big, damaging" New York Times "bombshell" story that supposedly features some ruinous dirt about the personal life of Governor David Paterson. Elizabeth Benjamin at the Daily News hears it "will be far worse than his acknowledged extramarital affair with a former state employee."
(Excerpt) Read more at gothamist.com ...
Most likely a present for the governor from 0bama himself.
And the hits keep coming.
I don't know. Does he have an aide name al-Jihadi?
Is he not blind? Does he like boys?
Frankly the only thing that's bothered me about this guy during his tour as Governor is that early in the game some of the people who should have been trusted assistants had him signing documents without telling him the truth about them.
It's not fair to kick the blind in the knees.
Doing Cuomo's dirty work.
Looks like the Dems in NY really have it in for the blind Gov. Seems like they have a problem with the disabled. Obama had his retarded Bowling incident, Rahm had his retarded liberals incident, and now NY Dems are trying to off one of their own who is disabled?
He might have been spotted by democrat operatives while attending church or purchasing a semiautomatic rifle.
The Dems really, really want to shovel him out of there, but he won't take the hint. He was only governor by accident. He was supposed to be a token black & handicapped lieutenant governor, sort of a showpiece, not an actual leader.
I remember the name Richard Ravitch from back in Ed Koch's day, although I don't remember exactly why I remember.
A DEMOCRAT having cocaine-fueled swinger orgies in the State Mansion???
That's a DOESN'T-MATTER-WHEN-DONE-WHILE-DEMOCRAT, isn't it?
"I'm a blind man who likes cocaine who was appointed governor. My life is a plot from a Richard Pryor movie."
Whatever it is, I can't imagine it's more self serving or destructive to the nation as the trail of malfeasance that Andrew Cuomo left in his wake at HUD.
As a general rule, I've found that the louder the build up, the more feeble the ultimate revelation. I'm expecting to see pictures of his car parked next to a fire plug.
The rumor is Patterson and wife are swingers.
A blind swinger ? LOL

His mistake is that he loves taxes. As the song says he'd tax the pennies on your eyes.
Farmyard animals.
A blind swinger ? LOL
"Hey, how was I supposed to know she wasn't my wife!?"
Live boy or dead girl?
whenever the leftist media attack one of their own, there's a reason.....probably to support Cuomo....
I suppose speculation is entirely a human reaction but let's PLEASE try to be dignified and not subscribe to character assassination until the facts are presented.
I know, I'm Pollyanna.
Yea, that's the ticket"
The Democrats don't like negroes in positions of power.
Exactly. The downstate libtards want Cuomo on the ticket. Maybe they're hoping this will get Patterson out and there won't have to be a primary. Though the rumors in the article, don't seem to indicate that this is "bombshell" material.
The NYT will never publish anything that will knot the brow of a Dem, unless that Dem is on the outs in the party.
Wonder if Patterson has seen this coming?
Seriously. Look at any black democrat that attempts to go for higher office. The NY Democratic party, and often the DNC get into the game to force them out of such ambitions.
Paterson is there by a total fluke.
He's Christian.
Why is this even necessary. The man has no chance of getting re-elected anyway.
just a stone's throw away from....NEW JERSEY!!!
Larry! ...You haven't been to New York lately have you?
Speaking of Gov. Patterson,
Have you seen his new suit?
Neither has he!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Paterson wouldn't be my first choice for NY Gov, but for a Dim he seems pretty decent.
Yup -- ya gotta hand it to him!

It takes a lot to impress a science-fiction fan these days. Truly great sci-fi films are few and far between, which allows the hardcore genre fanatic to A) catch up on all the classics, and B) re-watch (and re-watch) the best of the best. Plus it's just so damn hard to come up with a NEW idea in the science-fiction arena; it's tough to blame us when something fresh and exciting comes along. Take Duncan Jones' 'Moon,' for example, which hit the shelves last year and became sort of an "instant classic" to a lot of genre folks (including me). And the reason so many of us took to 'Moon' so quickly is because ... it's fresh. It's novel. It's original, challenging, fun, and "deep" all at the same time.
Duncan Jones' sophomore effort, 'Source Code,' is not nearly as original as his first film, but it is the next best thing to unique: it's two or three familiar ideas tossed into a blender, whipped into a tasty concoction, and delivered with a great deal of style and confidence. Astute devotees of the realm of speculative fiction will no doubt recognize a few dashes of Terry Gilliam's '12 Monkeys,' the slightly goofy 'The Butterfly Effect,' and even Harold Ramis' 'Groundhog Day' within Ben Ripley's 'Source Code' screenplay, but it's the tight, slick, and efficient way the disparate elements are drawn together that make the script such a cool surprise. (Congrats to Mr. Ripley, who cut his teeth on 'Species 3' and 'Species 4' before diving into the deeper end of the sci-fi pool.) The plot is this: a young man awakens on a train, staring at a beautiful woman, confused out of his mind. He slowly comes to realize that he's part of a much larger design. Turns out there's a bomb on the train, and our hero is the only one who can (bear with me here) leap forward in time in order to receive vague but crucial instructions on how to prevent the bomb from exploding. Oh, and he only gets eight minutes at a time to piece the puzzle together. To say much more would be a trip into spoiler territory, plus this is already one of the most difficult plot synopses I've ever written.
A high-end, feature-length 'Twilight Zone' concept, bolstered by two excellent performances (Jake Gyllenhaal and the luminous Michelle Monaghan) and presented in a crisp 90-minute package, 'Source Code' is precisely the sort of clever-yet-accessible sci-fi thriller we need more of. The concept has a nifty hook, the performances sell the human side of the story with effortless ease, and Jones does a superlative job of ratcheting up the tension en route to a disarmingly satisfying finale.
As with most examples of quality science fiction, 'Source Code' is logically focused on strange technology, misplaced memories, and all sorts of high-minded concepts, but you always need a little focus on the human side of the equation. Without a few characters worth caring about, no amount of train explosions will make a real impact. Jones, Ripley, Gyllenhaal, and (especially) Ms. Monaghan do a fine job of offering a worthwhile dash of humanity amidst all the sci-fi craziness. (Vera Farmiga, as a helpful voice from our hero's future, also steals a few scenes of her own, but that's hardly a new phenomenon.)
We've had a fine streak of enjoyably varied science fiction flicks lately, from the surprisingly good 'The Adjustment Bureau' and the admirably insane 'Battle Los Angeles' (next week's 'Limitless' is also pretty damn cool), and 'Source Code' looks to continue that streak. It's hard to say how much of a bankable audience is still out there for "smaller" sci-fi flicks like 'Source Code,' but speaking as only one massive fan of the genre, I'm very pleased that the studios still throw some money at projects like this one.

text: The consumption of food can be a tricky subject. One moment, it provides essential nourishment, the next–a vector for disease. The development of food preservation techniques opened up new opportunities for the evolution of human culture. From crossing the ocean to the New World to orbiting the planet from the space shuttle, food preservation has allowed for humans' survival in hostile environments and expansion to areas once unattainable. In this workshop, antique canning jar expert Cameron Boum will discuss the various types and styles of canning jars that were used in different time periods. Participants are encouraged to bring their own jars to learn more about their identity. Cheryl Rautio, UConn Extension's Expanded Food and Nutrition Coordinator, will then discuss the science of food canning, sharing some of the do's and don'ts of preserving homegrown foods. Adults and children ages 8 and above. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Magician Jay Mattioli will perform his "electrifying magic" show at 8 p.m. Saturday at Penn College's Klump Academic Center.
A finalist on NBC's hit show "America's Got Talent," Mattioli is one of the youngest magicians ever to receive first prize in stage magic at the International Society of American Magician Contests.
"I specialize in strong visual magic and original presentations," Mattioli said.
Article Photos
His magic show tours around the world: Egypt, Bahrain, Kuwait and Hong Kong. Mattioli believes that his world travels have made him more flexible and versatile.
"There are a lot of things I can't do onstage in the Middle East that I will be able to do at Penn College," Mattioli said. "Being able to make it work in both places is what keeps me busy and bills paid."
His repertoire of magic includes levitating objects and performing tricks with live doves.
"I learn so much just working with the birds," Mattioli said. "I've been doing it for over 15 years and it's always a crowd-pleaser."
When it comes to pleasing a crowd, Mattioli brings plenty of professional experience. Companies like IBM, Morgan Stanley and Disney book his magic act for their special events. He also performs at casinos, vacation resorts and universities. Mattioli's charismatic personality plays a large part in his showmanship.
"I like talking and joking with the audience," he said.
Entertainment legends David Copperfield, Michael Jackson and Superman are among Mattioli's role models.
"A magician was the closest thing to a real life profession that had the qualities of those guys," Mattioli said. "They were real showmen who made audiences fall in love with their persona and not just the tricks."
Like his idols, Mattioli strives to delight his audience in unexpected ways.
His vivid costumes, punk-rock hairdo and vivacious assistant (what magic show would be complete without one?) enhance the show's success.
"I think performers need to pay lots of attention to the concept of putting on a show, not just doing tricks. I put in a lot of effort in that regard," Mattioli said.
What's an example of his unique brand of magic? He levitates an audience member five feet in the air while dancing like the King of Pop.
"I do a bit of a Michael Jackson spoof dance. If I'm having fun, and the audience sees it, there's a good chance they will have fun too," he said.
In addition to "electrifying" tricks, Mattioli considers pacing an important ingredient in putting on a good show.
"I can perform fast-paced magic, then slow it down, then speed back up," Mattioli said.
Not every trick Mattioli performs is original, but most are.
"Originality is what every performer should strive for," Mattioli said. "I stand on the shoulders of giants who invented different magic secrets. I use many of their same techniques but perform them differently."
Mattioli currently performs out at sea on Celebrity Cruises. He found out the hard way that certain tricks are more dangerous when practiced aboard a moving cruise ship.
"I almost killed myself," he said. "I fell off this prop onto a 5-foot tall stainless steel spike. I walked with a limp for over a week."
In general, though, sharp objects don't daunt him: he has an illusion where he swallows and regurgitates 13 sewing needles.
Although magic has been performed for hundreds of years, technologies like TV and the internet make it hard for magic to "hold it's own."
"Some magicians use those mediums to 'stage' tricks that are impossible to do in real life. The tricks are filmed in reality TV-style and passed off as being accomplished by their performance skills," Mattioli said.
He steers clear of such deception, preferring instead to develop real life skills. He has nearly two hours of material.
Mattioli's advice to audience members?
"Just have fun. Be willing to let yourself laugh, giggle, oooooh and ahhhh, and I think you will!" he said.
For ticket information on Jay Mattioli's upcoming magic show, contact the Pennsylvania College of Technology's Student Activities Office at 327-4763.

Unit sustains $100,00 damage in blaze
Damage was estimated at $100,000 in a fire that burned a third-floor, one-bedroom apartment at Sunset Terrace in Napili on Monday night, a fire official said.
The cause of the fire was undetermined, pending more information, said Fire Services Chief Lee Mainaga. But he said there was no immediate evidence to indicate the fire was intentionally set.
Firefighters from Lahaina, Wailuku and Kahului responded to the fire, which was reported at 6:03 p.m. at the complex at 3626 Lower Honoapiilani Road. Fire crews arrived to find smoke and flames from the third-story unit. The fire was brought under control at 7:18 p.m. and contained to the apartment, which was unoccupied at the time, Mainaga said.
Approximately 50 residents of the complex were evacuated before being let back into their apartments at about 8 p.m., he said. One person living in the apartment that burned refused assistance and will be staying with relatives, Mainaga said.
Fire damage was estimated at $60,000 to the structure and $40,000 to its contents. No injuries were reported.
'All clear' given for landfill on Molokai
The Molokai landfill reopened Tuesday after a military team disposed of suspected explosive ordnance earlier in the morning, Maui County announced.
The "all clear" signal was given at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday for the landfill to reopen. The suspected explosive ordnance was found Monday.
Crews aid man who fainted on Pali trail
A man in his late 50s to early 60s was in stable condition Tuesday morning after fire rescue crews airlifted him to safety after he fainted while hiking on the Lahaina-Pali trail, a fire official said Tuesday afternoon.
Firefighters were dispatched to the scene at 8:14 a.m. Tuesday for the hiker who was in distress after hiking about five minutes up the Lahaina-Pali trail with a group of other hikers, said Fire Services Chief Lee Mainaga.
The man started to feel lightheaded then passed out, he said. His fellow hikers managed to catch him so he didn't fall on rocks, but the man sustained some scrapes.
The man, Don Holland, visiting from Mississippi, told The Maui News he was hiking with his family and passed out while taking a break on the trail. After being released from the emergency room at Maui Memorial Medical Center he was well enough that he visited the Snow Factory in Wailuku for a cold treat.
Fire crews decided to airlift the man out with the Fire Department's Air One helicopter because of the rainy weather that made the rocky trail slippery, Mainaga said.
The man was airlifted from the area around 8:45 a.m. to a nearby landing zone where an ambulance crew took him to Maui Memorial Medical Center.
Bail set for woman in Kula assault case
Bail was set at $11,500 for a Pukalani woman charged with entering a Kula residence without permission and assaulting a woman in the home, police said.
Linda Mattos, 54, was charged with first-degree burglary, third-degree assault and fourth-degree criminal property damage.
According to court documents, Mattos went to the house at about 1:15 a.m. Monday and began banging on the front door. The house-sitter woke up and opened the door to see Mattos standing in the doorway.
Mattos entered the home without permission, leading to an altercation between her and the house-sitter, according to court documents. The house-sitter suffered a wound on her left calf and left the residence before calling police.
When police arrived, Mattos was found sleeping in a bedroom and was arrested, police said.

It probably isn't a bad gig, being married to Joel Coen; it's sure worked out well for Frances McDormand. As the Coen Brothers made their directorial debut with Blood Simple back in 1984, she stepped in front of the camera for her first time and proved just as vital to making that steely noir work as the directors were. The partnership only became increasingly rewarding as she went on to star in four more of their films, rightfully earning the greatest acclaim -- not to mention an Academy Award -- for her turn as pregnant police chief Marge Gunderson in Fargo.
She would earn a subsequent nomination as William Miller's overbearing mother in Almost Famous(pictured), and while I very much adore both that movie and her performance in it, I'd argue that she was able to show slightly more range that year in her other film, the oft-overlooked Wonder Boys.
She plays Sara Gaskell, chancellor of the film's nameless university, wife to the head of the English department, mistress to creative writing professor Grady Tripp (Michael Douglas)... and he's knocked her up, it seems. "So I guess we just divorce our spouses, marry each other, and have this baby, right?" she halfheartedly proposes.
Grady doesn't know the answer. After all, Grady's spent the better part of a decade working away at his follow-up to a brilliant first novel, and he's partial to pot smoking and fainting spells. A hot, young student of his (Katie Holmes) clearly has an interest; would he be eager to reciprocate? His third wife just left him; what did all three know that Sara doesn't? Should she keep his kid? Could she leave her husband, Grady's boss and a bore with a fondness for all things Marilyn Monroe, in favor of an unreliable golden boy who's lost his shine? Or does she go it alone at her age? As much as the film is about the sense of stagnation in his life, Sara's the one who runs the risk of being left in the lurch when all's said and done. And McDormand, she nails all of this turmoil without ever giving into hysterics. In public, she's an utmost professional, briefly hesitating upon meeting a transvestite but quick to extend a smile and a handshake all the same. But in private, with Grady, she's restless, hopeful and worried in equal measure.
There's a three-minute scene in which Grady has passed out in a hallway outside a lecture and she's right there to pick him up again. When he says he has some bad news (involving a dead dog), she instantly assumes that he's about to call their relationship off and works through the logic that his ex will come back -- "she always comes back" -- with shaky determination. She counters with an abortion, even insists on lighting up a cigarette upon mentioning it, and he takes it out of her mouth and throws it down, concerned that she would be doing this for all the wrong reasons.
He wants to have a life with her, but when he admits that he doesn't see a way, she quietly but fiercely tears into him for apparently throwing in the towel before pleading with him that they might find a way to make things work out. After hearing applause from the lecture, they go to split and Grady accidentally drops a cap gun (remember the dead dog?) on the floor. She picks it up, aims it straight at his heart and lets out with a quiet "Pow." "You got me," he says, and just as they draw near, she chokes up and professes her love to him before walking away.
That sums the beauty of her performance up in one swift but tumultuous scene. She's determined to take care of herself, but she isn't necessarily sure of her decisions, and while she'll be there to pick Grady up when he needs her, she'll also be the one to walk away when the public eye nears. It's probably not much of a surprise that everything works out for the best in the end, but up until that point, McDormand embodies that life-changing uncertainty with humor, anger, fear, hope and a certain delicate touch.
Man, it's no wonder Joel proposed.

Getting products out to customers is part of doing business and when it's done safely that's even better.
At Frito-Lay in Williamsport safety is a priority, including for drivers who travel many miles making the deliveries.
This year, four drivers achieved significant milestones - driving at least 1 million miles without a crash.
"Among the four you are looking at 7 million miles," said Frito-Lay Traffic Manager Rick Clark. "In the industry it's pretty rare."
Ken Tallman reached 3 million miles and Rick Keller drove 2 million miles without an accident.
Two other drivers, Mark Liddick and Zane Staver, were accident-free for 1 million miles.
In recognition of their achievements, each was honored by the company earlier this year in Dallas, Texas.
Tallman, 61, of Jersey Shore, said there's no real secret to safe driving. It's just something that is stressed at the company.
He drives all over the Northeast and the Mid Atlantic region and as far west as Indiana.
One day he might be heading to Buffalo and the next day to Lynchburg, Va.
"Each place requires a different type of concentration. But you have to plan ahead," he said. "The drivers in Cleveland are different than those in New York City. You have to have patience and skill."
He often plans his trips to begin in Williamsport at midnight to ensure he encounters less traffic.
"The road is more peaceful at night," he said.
Keller, 55, of Williamsport, said safety means staying alert and being aware of the surroundings.
Like Tallman, he likes to start his truck runs early in the morning - between midnight and 2 a.m.
He doesn't like to drive in the big cities of New York, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. in the afternoon.
"I think winter time is one of the biggest challenges, dealing with the elements," he said.
Road construction can present challenges as well.
Keller said if the weather is bad, he may decide to stay home rather than risk driving in hazardous conditions.
It's better being safe than sorry.
"If I can't be there today, I will be there tomorrow," Tallman said.
Both men noted the amount of safety training the drivers receive at Frito-Lay.
Tallman said he teaches younger drivers how to maneuver the big rigs they drive.
"Right now, we are going through close quarters maneuvering. It helps reduce the amount of accidents," he said. "I think it's fun to teach the younger drivers how to do this."
Clark noted the entire driver corps is focused on safety.
"We have a continuous ongoing safety program. There's classroom training," he said. "We do close quarters maneuvering."
Overall, some two thirds of the drivers at Frito-Lay's Willliamsport plant have reached 1 million miles without an accident.
In a week's time, the average driver compiles about 2,500 miles on the road per day.
Tallman and Keller said they both enjoy their jobs.
Tallman noted he's sort of his own boss.
"I don't think I would want to do anything else. I have freedom, responsibility. I meet a lot of different people," he said.
Keller said it's getting out and seeing different things.
"You see the sun come up," he said.
Added Tallman: "I love my job. I like to look out the windshield every day and see something different."

William Weber Koenig has early stages of dementia, officials said.
Koenig's home, on SW 202 Circle in Dunnellon, was checked and deputies found his checkbook and credit cards on the kitchen counter, but his car, a white 2002 Chrysler Concorde with Florida tag UFV0Z, was missing.
It is believed that Koenig left his home between 6 a.m. and 12 p.m. on Wednesday and could be traveling to St. Simons, Ga. to visit his girlfriend, who has severe Alzheimer's disease.
Anyone who has seen Koenig is asked to call 911.

Mike Mayock may be the most respected person in the draft community.
The NFL Network analyst is everywhere during the offseason. He holds hours-long conference calls to clue the rest of the media into what he's seeing and hearing about various prospects. He can tell you the 40 times of the most obscure prospects and their what their study habits are.
The man knows everything. So when he releases his mock draft each year the day before the draft, it's worth glancing over. And this year, he has the Patriots taking Florida State cornerback Xavier Rhodes.
It's an interesting selection. Many other experts expect Rhodes to go somewhere in the top 15, and the pick comes with UCLA defensive end Datone Jones, a player the Patriots are believed to be very high on, still on the board.
Mayock seems to acknowledge that it would be quite a drop if Rhodes lasts until the 29th pick when explaining the pick.
"They're ecstatic when Rhodes falls all the way to No. 29. He's 6-foot, 210 pounds with long arms. He's the ultimate press corner," Mayock writes. "I think this kid can develop off-man skills. I think he understands zone concepts and he fits what today's NFL is."
A few other favorites, such as USC wide receiver Robert Woods and Boise State corner Jamar Taylor, are not selected in the first round of Mayock's projection.

Hurricane Igor swept past the island of Bermuda's west coast Sunday night and left thousands without power.
The storm closed the island's schools at least until Tuesday.
Flag poles and palm trees buckled as winds gusts - some up to 90-miles-an-hour - sent steady streams of rain hurling sideways.
Igor weakened to a category one hurricane just before it hit Bermuda, but it was producing hurricane force winds extending 90 miles out from its center. It was strong enough to knock out power to two-thirds of the island.
Ahead of the storm, officials feared Igor could be the worst hurricane to hit its shores.
"Our country and our people have throughout our history rarely faced the full fury of a strom of this magnitude," said Ewart Brown, Bermuda's Premier. "As a people, we will pray once again that we will be spared."
Tourists were urged to pack up and leave their vacations early.
"We really wanted to stay, to be quite honest," one tourist said. "It was going to be an experience, really, to see a hurricane."
For residents, warnings of igor's possible direct hit recalled memories of Hurricane Fabian, which caused hundreds of millions of dollars worth of damage in September of 2003.
"This whole section was taken out by Fabian," said Lisa Rollins as she showed a television crew areas of the local airport. "We had palm trees coming through the doors, through the windows, everything."
The storm is expected to veer away from the U.S. East Coast. Meteorologists say that is due to a cold front along the eastern seaboard. It's still expected to cause high surf and strong rip currents.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Julia is the next storm brewing in the Atlantic. Julia currently has tropical force winds extending up to 200 miles. Forecasters however, believe the storm will weaken in the next day or two.

Senate races from around the nation
MASSACHUSETTS: Democrat Elizabeth Warren defeated Republican Sen. Scott Brown for the U.S. Senate seat in one of this year's most closely watched Senate races. Democrats were eager to get back the seat, held for decades by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, after Brown's surprise victory in a 2010 special election. Warren, a Harvard Law School professor, was a key force behind the creation of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau.
OHIO: Democratic incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown overcame a challenge by Republican Josh Mandel, the state treasurer. The race drew plenty of national attention -- and money, with $30 million spent in ads against Brown by outside groups.
CONNECTICUT: Democratic U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy overcame a challenge from Republican Linda McMahon in a tight race to succeed retiring Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman. McMahon, a professional wrestling executive, spent more than $42.6 million of her own money on the race, nearly matching the $50 million she spent in her failed 2010 Senate bid.
MAINE: Former Gov. Angus King, an Independent, cruised to victory over Republican Charlie Summers and Democrat Cynthia Dill. The expectation has been that King will caucus with the Democrats, though he hasn't said so.
INDIANA: Democrat Joe Donnelly beat Republican Richard Mourdock. Mourdock, who had tea party backing, had dominated the race after defeating six-term Sen. Richard Lugar in the GOP primary. But he damaged his chances when he said in a debate that pregnancy resulting from rape is "something God intended."

Sabine - I like you list - I may steal it! :)
Jenn - you know it! We may have a few years of freedom in our home before my mother has to move in with us. For now, she is very healthy at the age of 87, but is going blind. She'll stay in her home as long as she can, and then I think will move in with us. I'm not looking forward to that time, but you do what you have to. She doesn't have the funds to go to a care center. My home is the only one that is really accomodating to her needs. The room my son is currently using is off the family room, she can use that as her bedroom, the family room can be her living space, and the downstairs bath is right there next to that family room so that can be her bathroom too. She will have to use the only kitchen in the house - but I don't think she will be doing any cooking by then. I'm HOPING one of my other sisters offers to have her come live with them, we shall see.
UGH - so tired. I slept approx. 5 hours last night - not getting out of bed until 9 am and then sleeping a bit more on the sofa, until the phone rang and it was that stupid "we can lower you current credit card rate" call! I can't wait to get rid of our land line! All we get on it is advertising crap.
I think all the bacon yesterday caused a bit of water retention - back up to 184.2 again. So I'll push water like crazy today and drink a lot of herbal tea. That should cause a nice flush of the system! I'm also planning a fast until dinner today. I had a little binge on almond butter last night when I couldn't sleep. Healthy, but loaded with calories! So, its water and herbal tea with stevia for me. I'll walk this afternoon, after work. I want to get to work a little earlier to day so I can get in my walk before dark - I really hate walking in the dark. Its a little spooky - but also hard to see if there is things to stumble over.
I'm wishing this weight loss was moving along a bit faster. I get so frustrated when I read those "the weight just FELL right off of me" stories! GRRRR --- nice for you, but shut the hell up already! For the other 99% of us, its a grueling day to day struggle and a long drawn out process! I love the drops - and then as always, the bounce back follows! I should focus on the drops and stop letting the ups get me down. I DO KNOW that if I stay on the program and do what works the weight will continue to drop - EVER. SO. SLOWLY. Sometimes I wish SPEED was still a legal weight loss aid! :)
Speaking of "drugs" I've been thinking about this trend toward legalizing pot. The state of Washington recently legalized the use of pot - but its still illegal to buy it, sell it, or grow it. So...........legalizing the smoking of it is sorta useless. Right? Honestly I think if beer, wine and hard liquor is legal - pot should be legal as well. If we just let people grow it for personal use then the drug cartels in Mexico will be put out of business! At least the pot industry will come to a screetching hault. Selling it should be regulated and taxed. You want to sell it, you need a commercial license and you have to pay taxes on what you grow and sell. It should be monitored and inspected to see that nothing "foreign" is being added to the mix. Would I smoke it? no........ but, its not a substance that is any different than beer, wine or liquor, so why is it so illegal?
man - having tummy troubles today................ wow............... must have been that almond butter binge at 2 AM. I bet I ate 1/2 cup of the stuff! Its so good!!! But, it replaced my addiction to peanut butter, so thats troublesome. I'm on my last jar of almond butter and I've decided not to buy more. I'm trying to eliminate all sources of binge eating. I think I've tackled the chocolate monster now - not having any chocolate since 10/7, so nearly 2 months. I haven't bought any dark chocolate for about 3 months now :) the m&m's were my last taste of chocolate. And since it causes such tummy issues I don't think I will have trouble saying no to that. Hubby had a bag of peanut m&ms on the trip to Seattle and I didn't touch them. So, no chocolate, no nut butters and no nuts (except on road trips) --- those seem to be my binge triggers. I will have to have something in the house to replace those things for when the desire for snacking arises. What? Jerky? I haven't found a jerky that I really like. Its always too sweet or too peppery. And ALWAYS to leathery!! Why can't they make it like my grandad used to make it? NEVER tough and leathery! Maybe I should make my own........... thats a thought. We do have a smoker and I do know how to use it. :) We also have a meat slicer - and a freezer full of grass fed beef. I could also make some salmon jerky. I want my hubby to make some smoked salmon - but his brine has brown sugar in it. I wonder if I could get him to make it with honey and mollases instead? Need to do some searching on that.......
better go get ready to work. I have to stop at the banks on my way in. Sorry for the rambling thoughts........... sometimes I just need to get things out of my head and work them through.

The man convicted of killing Gregg Smart in 1990 is asking for a furlough from prison.
Click to watch News 9's coverage.
Earlier this summer, Billy Flynn was approved for a work release program at a minimum security facility in Maine. He is now requesting a furlough to visit his wife in Newcastle, Maine.
That request has not yet been approved.
Pamela Smart continues to serve a life sentence for her role in the killing.
On Thursday, her spokeswoman said in a statement: "How many more rewards does this man believe he deserves for murdering Gregg Smart in cold blood and then perjuring himself in a court of law by blaming Pamela Smart for his own evil deeds?"

Nor'easter pounds New Hampshire coastline with wind, waves
Waves up to 18 feet crash ashore in Hampton
UPDATED 6:54 PM EST Dec 27, 2012
The New Hampshire coast took a bit of a beating as the Nor'easter passed through.
The storm kicked up waves along Hampton Beach, where the waves were as big as 18 feet during high tide, which was around 10:40 a.m.
Along Ocean Boulevard in Hampton, the waves kicked up over the seawall and even over the road, flooding a parking area.
In the process, the waves took out benches, knocking them onto the boulevard and even breaking some.
If that wasn't enough, the Seacoast area is expected to see its first snow showers from the Nor'easter late Thursday.

Christine Burnham, a former detective with the Muskegon Police Department, has accepted the position of interim police chief at Roosevelt Park, according to the city.
City Manager Anthony Chandler said Burnham, of Twin Lake, agreed to take the position Tuesday afternoon. The city council on Monday voted 6-1 to offer Burnham, who served on Muskegon's police force for more than 20 years, the position.
She's expected to start work next week. The position is part-time — she's expected to work 30 hours a week — and pays $30 an hour with no benefits.
According to the city, hiring Burnham was less expensive than promoting a full-time officer to the position of chief. The full-time officer's pay would have been increased to $33.78 an hour, plus benefits.
The city also noted that promoting an existing officer would reduce the number of officers and possibly increase the amount of overtime remaining officers were eligible to receive.
During her time at the Muskegon Police Department, Burnham worked as a detective, a narcotics investigator and as the department's DARE officer, according to her resume.
"She was a very well-rounded person," said Councilman Bob Young said, who chair's the city's personnel and finance committee, which recommended that Burnham be given the job. He also praised her organization skills, which he said would benefit the police department.
Burnham's appointment is expected to last between eight and 12 weeks. She replaces former chief Timothy Regan, who in December, was not reappointed to the position of chief.

From the Official http://www.TomCruise.com Blog:
g-speak overview from john underkoffler on Vimeo.
The days when you can surf the web, browse through photos, and edit your latest short film with a wave of your hand like Tom in "Minority Report" may not be far off.
Just such technology was on display at the annual TED conference in Long Beach, CA. Crowds oohed and aahed as demonstrators wearing special gloves – just like Tom – copied images and film from wall-size screens and plunked them down on a smaller desktop.
John Underkoffler, the technology whiz who helped create the interface that Tom Cruise used in "Minority Report", was on hand to showcase this quantum leap in computing.
Underkoffler predicts that in five years, gesture-based computing, as it's known, will be the way people interact with computers, sound systems and other electronics. Want to flip TV channels? Just wave your arm. Want to fast forward the movie you're watching? Try a flick of the wrist.
It won't be long before you can throw away the mouse.
In case you're wondering, the data you see Tom whipping around on transparent screens in "Minority Report" was created after filming ended. Tom and the other actors were mostly miming the action, which the talented special effects team made seem entirely real in post production.
Pretty soon, though, scenes like these will look like real life, rather than science fiction!

You play Lone Wolf, the typical he-man character who wants to take on the world and his wife as long as he can volunteer for the job. You parachute into enemy territory, and from that point onwards it's a Case of shooting anything and everything with a couple of exceptions. What's that? Did I say exceptions? Surely shome mishtake. But no, even in this day and age when you'll shoot even the earwigs for extra points, Oppo Wolf sends things like stretcher-bearing nurses and all-american boys running across the screen to see if you're too trigger happy. So watch those itchy trigger fingers! On each level - and there are six all-told - you have to take out a certain number of baddies, tanks. Launches and helicopters in order to move on. You have a limited ammo reserve with which to do this job, but you can find extras by shootinq vultures, chickens and cassette tapes. No that's not a misprint. It's so you can make a fowl Bros soup. More 'sensible' items you can shoot for extra goodies include various bottles of potions. Some give you extra machine gun power (without using up your valuable supplies), while others will nurse your damage rating back to a more healthy score. Also, if you shoot the dynamite, then everything on the screen will blow up - except you! Good, eh?
Your first task is to take out the communications centre. This level, which gets you used to the game, is full of plenty of things to shoot, and once you're through it it's on to Level Two. Here your task is to survive in the jungle. Switching to a luverly shade of green, you encounter gun boats for the first time - nasty things which take a fair bit of ammo to shift. But once you've done your duty amongst the shrubbery, it's back to the village where it's time to blast the chopper squad. Wheeeee, blammo!
When you leave the village you enter the next level which is described as the Powder Magazine - in plain terms this is your worst enemies ammo dump, and destroying it earns you loadsa points. Level Five is where you get serious - 'cos it's the concentration camp and you've got to start rescuing the hostages. You need them to get anywhere in this game.
All those nawty nurses and scampering children that you were trying not to hit in the earlier levels (weren't you?), turn out to be jolly useful in this level. 'Cos the hostages tend to walk across the screen without a care in the world, and hitting them not only increases your damage status, it also puts you one step further away from completing the game.
If you're good enough to get to the final level, you'll find yourself at the airport. Everything is thrown at you here, you've got to be Rambo IV to get anywhere. The hostages you saved in the last level will walk across the screen again. And if they foolishly step into the path of your speeding bullets, you'll find they sprout angelic wings and fly heavenward. If, finally, you've shot your quota of baddies then freedom will be yours. But if you don't save any hostages then don't expect to be asked on any other missions!
Needless to say you've got to rush out and buy the game, so here's a couple of tips I found quite useful while playing.
1) You've got a supply of grenades - but don't throw them at the soldiers since they only require a bullet from your gun to send them to the great arcade in the sky.
2) Save your 'G's for the big guvs like the helicopters. Even then, keep an eye on the number you still have to eliminate of each type.
3) If you've already taken out enough helicopters then don't keep blowing up more when there are tanks for the taking.

Prince William has vowed to immerse Prince George in the delights of diving and water sports.
Speaking as he follows in a royal family tradition of heading up the British sub-aqua enthusiasts' association, William, 31, said he hopes his son will one day take up his love of the water.
William represents the third generation of his family, behind his father Prince Charles and grandfather the Duke of Edinburgh, to become president of the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC). Marking his new role by writing a foreword for SCUBA, the organization's magazine, he says he shares the "passion for the sport and the underwater world.
"I hope that one day my son, George, will also experience the wonders that snorkeling and scuba diving have to offer," says the prince.
William has been diving around the world – he's visited Rodrigues in the Indian Ocean twice (including once for a study break), and likely donned his scuba gear when he headed to the Maldives with wife Kate in March.
He says he's keen use the new position to further his father's work in helping preserve and protect the marine environment, wildlife and heritage.
William, who also hopes to encourage more young people to take up the sport, writes, "The underwater world truly captures the imagination and broadens horizons. I have been fortunate enough to have dived in some stunning locations around the world."
"Scuba diving really has opened my eyes not only to many extraordinary sights, but also to the responsibilities that we have as guardians of the underwater world. Which is why, as BSAC's new President, I hope to continue my father's legacy of striving to preserve and protect our precious marine heritage and environment for future generations."
Hailing it as a "proud moment" for the BSAC, chairman Clare Peddie said, "It comes just after BSAC's diamond jubilee and having the Duke at the helm of our organization as we move into a new era is a huge and special privilege."
Prince William Hopes Son George Has Inherited His Love of Scuba Diving
