By example as well as by precept, the ambassador for Christ is to 'charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life' (1 Timothy 6:10, 11, 17-19)."
a. Principle Focus (review)
Delayed gratification--the state of delaying reception of some desired source of pleasure or satisfaction; the putting off of a reward or recompense for a task that is often difficult and ignored.
b. Scriptural Foundation (study)
Galatians 6 intones that the law of the universe is operative. If we sow the wrong seeds, we will reap the wrong plants. We set actions and reactions in motion by our deeds. The reasoning is that it is better to put off that which is counterproductive (delayed gratification) and feel the pain than to indulge and reap the penalties.
c. Behavior Outcomes (model)
d. Personal Assessment (evaluate)
How satisfied am I with the development of this characteristic in my ministry? (Circle one.)
e. Action Plan (implement)
What will I do to increase my effectiveness in this area? (Write your intentions.)
"Lord, Moses, Joseph, Daniel, and other notables exercised delayed gratification. We too have the opportunity to do so. But lest we get morbid or overly obsessive, You are not against joy and innocent laughter, and so we should do all things in balance. As we mature in the Christian walk we will find that decisions once difficult will become more natural. Lord, help us in those unguarded moments."

We're almost halfway through the season! Thank you very much for reading this column. Regardless as to how well I'm doing, it's been fun so far and I look forward to sharing my thoughts with you moving forward. Cheers!
This week sees Atlanta (4-3), Chicago (4-3), Green Bay (7-0), Oakland (4-3), New York Jets (4-3), and Tampa Bay (4-3) all on bye.
It was a rough week of football and moving forward it will be interesting to see how teams fare going with their backups at several positions.
Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans (-9.5)
I'm not exactly sure what happened last week to either of these teams, who gave up a combined 103 points defensively. Offensively, both teams are struggling. Obviously, the Colts are going to struggle to move the ball without Peyton Manning. Tennessee is struggling with the loss of Kenny Britt (Matt Hasselbeck was averaging over 300 yards a game with Britt and around 175 without him). The problem here is that Chris Johnson is still Chris Johnson and this Colts defense has more holes than Sarah Palin's campaign platform. I have to continue to doubt that the Colts are capable of winning, but something about this match-up has me intrigued. Is Chris Johnson really playing that bad or is this his week to bust out? We shall see. -Jared
Jared – Titans win by 9 or less, tie, or lose
I can't explain last week except to say that the Saints opened up the weaknesses than many have been pointing at all season. Yes, the Titans have been bad, and specifically Chris Johnson — and that is not going to change this week as Johnson has never had much success against the Colts. Look for Hasselbeck, who has been struggling some without Britt, to have success throwing the ball to Jared Cook, exposing the Colts weakness in the middle of the field where linebacker Pat Angerer is injured. The Colts passing game should be better than last week but I just don't think that it is going to win Indianapolis the game.
Travis – Titans win by 9 or less, tie, or lose
New Orleans Saints at St. Louis Rams (+10.5)
I understand that Sam Bradford is likely to play, so I'm going to assume that means there's a chance the Rams break into double digits in scoring. I see the addition of Brandon Lloyd as a positive for St. Louis as well. The problem is, the New Orleans offense is on fire and is showing no likelihood of slowing down anytime soon. -Jared
Jared – Saints win by 11 or more
Sam Bradford still hasn't practiced but if he plays I think the chances of the Rams offense producing will go up dramatically, especially as he gets his timing down with Brandon Lloyd. Trying to develop some kind of offense against the Saints is not a winning proposition. New Orleans is on fire and a struggling team is not going to stop them.
Travis – Saints win by 11 or more
Miami Dolphins at New York Giants (-9.5)
This prediction is by no means bold, but the Giants are getting healthy. While this game appears to be another "Suck for Luck" entry by the Dolphins, I wouldn't expect them to lay down. The Giants have a ton of holes in their defensive secondary, and were it not for the already dangerous New York offense getting healthier, I'd expect the Dolphins to go ahead and give New York a run for its money. Run all you want, Miami. This one should be ugly. -Jared
Jared – Giants win by 10 or more
Starting for the Miami Dolphins is possibly… J. P. Losman. Not much more should need to be said. Giants are getting healthy and have a dangerous offense while Miami is lucky if they can get one on the field, let alone a defense.
Travis – Giants win by 10 or more
Minnesota Vikings at Carolina Panthers (-3.5)
It might be a little premature to say this, but I think Cam Newton and Christian Ponder will be seeing more and more of each other as their careers progress (meaning they may meet each other in the postseason). Albeit obvious, I think this game comes down to the play of Cam Newton against the Viking defense (who struggled with Michael Vick earlier in the season) and Adrian Peterson (Carolina's run defense is awful). -Jared
Jared – Carolina wins by 3 or less, ties, or loses
I really liked what I saw from Christian Ponder last week. I think this week we will see him make more progress as he develops his timing and puts more touch on the ball. I look for Ponder to have more opportunities to throw the ball down field and for Peterson to get some good runs against this Carolina run defense. Carolina's offense is pretty good but they need their run game to be effective in order for their pass game to open up more than other teams because of Cam Newton. While the Panthers have ranked eighth overall running the football they are going against the 4th ranked run defense this week and 3rd ranked run offense.
Travis – Vikings win, tie, or lose by less than 4. (in my opinion Vikings likely win by at least a touchdown)
Arizona Cardinals at Baltimore Ravens (-12.5)
If you are a Ravens fan and are looking for a cure to last week's awful game, it has arrived in the form of a home game against the absolutely awful Arizona Cardinals. I see this game as a sort of pick-me-up for Baltimore. Their offense struggled in Week 7's loss to Jacksonville, but Arizona provides no such challenge. -Jared
Jared – Ravens win by 13 or more
While I do not believe the Texans defense is in the neighborhood of the Ravens, I expect the Houston offense to be just as effective as they were last week. This dynamic will provide more of a challenge to the Jaguars, especially considering they're coming off a close win and a short week after playing Monday night. -Jared
Jared – Houston wins by 10 or more
I am not sure if Andre Johnson is playing in this game (my fantasy team hopes he does). As bad as the Jags have looked on offense, their defense is actually ranked top 10 in rushing, passing, and points allowed per game. On the other hand, Texans are ranked even better in those areas and also ranked top 10 on offense. I like the running game to be a key to the game here.
Travis – Jags win, tie, lose by less than 10
Washington Redskins at Buffalo Bills (-5.5)
Let me set this one up for you. Washington has lost their best wide receiver (Santana Moss), best running back (Tim Hightower), and a great tight end (Chris Cooley) in the last week. Add to that the fact that the Redskins have also replaced Rex Grossman with the just as ineffective John Beck. On the flipside, the Bills are healthy and undefeated at home. It can't get any uglier for the Redskins (or can it?). -Jared
Jared – Bills win by 6 or more
Jared sums it up well. The Skins are banged up and have switched starting QB's. Bills get back on track and win.
Travis – Bills by 6 or more.
Detroit Lions at Denver Broncos (+3.5)
I'll most certainly be one of the people standing and clapping for Tim Tebow, but a comeback win against the hapless Miami Dolphins shouldn't be called a comeback. I'm aware the Lions are a little banged up, but Detroit most certainly presents a better defensive threat than the Dolphins did. Plan accordingly. -Jared
Jared – Lions win by 4 or more
Lions are having some offensive struggles but they are facing a Broncos team on the border of being horrible. I do hope that Tebow can become a decent QB but he isn't at this point in his career. Chances of a win go up for the Broncos if Stafford is unable to play but we saw last year they can still be an efficient team.
Travis – Lions win by 4 or more
Cincinnati Bengals at Seattle Seahawks (+2.5)
From the outside looking in, I can see the suspension of Cedric Benson hurting the Bengals offensive plan. However, no matter who you throw in the Bengals backfield, the one thing this Seattle team does fairly well is play run defense. That said, look for everyone's favorite red-headed step-child Andy Dalton to have a big game. -Jared
Jared – Bengals win by 3 or more
Never thought you would hear this did you? If Tavaris Jackson plays and is near 100% I think they have a shot at winning this game. I think the loss of Cedric Benson is going to hurt the Bengals but not kill them. I was high on Dalton coming out in the draft I do think he is a solid rookie quarterback and better than Jackson, so the Bengals pull this game out.
Travis – Bengals win by 3 or more
Cleveland Browns at San Francisco 49ers (-9.5)
Yet another week goes by and the Browns refuse to pay Peyton Hillis, so he refuses to play. I'm not the only one that sees this, right? The 49ers play defense and are moderately successful at not turning the ball over on offense. The Browns, on the other hand, have a moderately successful defense and an offense that resembles an off-season pick-up game. Meh. -Jared
Jared – 49ers win by 9 or less, tie, or lose
At this point it is expected that we will see Peyton Hillis play this week. The Brown defense isn't bad by any means but the 49ers is good, especially against the run, which means it may not matter if Hillis plays or not. To me this game is going to be a battle of Alex Smith vs. Colt McCoy. It is going to be sloppy if either quarterback has to carry their team. I give 49ers a bit of an advantage in the ground game.
Travis – 49ers win, tie, or lose by less than 10
New England Patriots at Pittsburgh Steelers (+2.5)
Both of these teams appear to be healthy, hungry, and motivated. Defensively, the Steelers are a better team. Offensively, the Patriots have a little too much going on for the Steelers. The one thing the Patriots seem to be good at defensively is shutting down one player. Mike Wallace should be that guy. -Jared
Jared – Patriots win by 3 or more (I'm guessing a field goal)
This should be a hard fought game that is probably low scoring (under 25 points).
Travis – Patriots win by 3 or more.
Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles (-3.5)
So far this season, when Dallas has lost, it hasn't been by more than 4. I understand that the Eagles are coming in off of a bye week and should look a bit sharper than they have previously. Dallas has an above average defense and a bordering on elite offense. This game should have a ton of fireworks, but with two reasonably unreliable (yet potent) quarterbacks, it could also turn into "Is DeMarco Murray on LeSean McCoy's level?" Plan accordingly. -Jared
Jared – Eagles win by 3 or less, tie, or lose
Going into this game we see two teams I don't trust. I don't trust them because they are both inconsistent. Of the two, I think that Dallas has proven that when healthy they are the most complete team. While they are not completely healthy, the receiving corps is which helps Romo. As a result, I will go with them in this match-up.
Travis – Dallas wins, ties, loses by less than 4
San Diego Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs (+3.5)
I'm not sure what is going on with either of these teams, but I don't like it. Not one bit. San Diego managed to make Mark Sanchez look like an All-Pro while their own All-Pro quarterback Philip Rivers looked like a second-year player having his sophomore slump. The Chiefs may have lost their best play-maker in Jamaal Charles, but the Chargers are having trouble keeping their own play-makers healthy. I'm not sure which team shows up this week, but I have to figure it could be pretty ugly. -Jared
Jared – Chargers win by 3 or less, tie, or lose
Philip Rivers is playing like he did 4-5 years ago, Chiefs are coming off their best game of the year (albeit against a raiders team adjusting to a new quarterback). I still don't trust that Gates is healthy but it is clear he is getting to where he is going to start playing, which helps out Rivers and the Chargers receivers. Despite their struggles, the Chargers are still a better team, and I think that Ryan Mathews could have a big game this week.
Travis – Chargers by 4 or more

Ghurka really is an awesome American original!
I don't see anything suspicious about it.
I really think you should. I had a speedy that got horrible wrinkles after a few years. I used it all the time! You don't have to buy the shaper but at least make sure you keep something inside...

A new paper from Craig Doidge, G Andrew Karolyi, and René M Stulz investigates the reasons why the number of publicly listed US companies peaked in 1996, even as the number of publicly listed foreign firms climbed.
From the study:
The number of U.S. listings fell from 8,025 in 1996 to 4,101 in 2012, whereas non-U.S. listings increased from 30,734 to 39,427.

Cameron Chardonnay Abbey Ridge 2013
$66.95 Regular
Old vine, old school. Abbey Ridge boasts some of Oregon's oldest Chardonnay vines. Cameron treats these exquisite grapes right: barrel fermentation in neutral oak for nearly two years, imparting an amazing seamlessness. A true "grand cru" of Oregon wine. - Marcus
The 2009 Chardonnay Abbey Ridge was sourced from 35 year old vines, aged sur lie, and bottled without filtration. Light gold in color, it offers up an enticing nose of pear, melon, and hazel nuts. In the glass it opens to reveal a vibrant acid structure, ripe flavors, and excellent length. It will provide enjoyment for another 4-5 years at the very least. - Jay Miller
Winemaker John Paul says: �A warm vintage such as 2009 usually favors the higher elevation and cooler sight characterizing Abbey Ridge. Add to that the 35 year-old Draper clones which occupy part of the original Chardonnay vineyard block at this vineyard and you are on to something significant.
In the cellar we fermented the juice from this pressing in old French Oak barrels from our favorite cooper, Claude Gillet. The wine and all of its lies (sediment) was left to contemplate the future for nearly 2 years, undisturbed. It is an old White Burgundy technique and the resemblance will be obvious to those who are familiar with the latter wines.�

I have an existing and working wireless WPA secured home network that now
has my 3 PCs connecting via a router to a cable modem that then connects to
the internet using COX cable internet.
I am experimenting with changing the existing (weak because of walls)
wireless connection between one PC and the router by using a 50 ft 5E cable
going through the attic to connect the two. The cable has been passed and
is connected.
My question is: when I now connect to the internet from this PC how does XP
Home SP3 choose to connect? Does it connect preferentially through the
cable connection or through the wireless one? How do I find out? Can I
influence that decision?

While I was visiting Los Angeles, I had the honor of visiting the Disney Animation Studio to learn more about Wreck-It Ralph and how it was created. As far as animated movies go, Wreck-It Ralph is my absolute favorite, but I have a whole new level of respect for the film after seeing the work put in to create it.
My tour covered everything from digital downloads to how to use rigs to the stages of character development. It was jaw-dropping to hear thought processes and the amount of work that goes into figuring out everything down to the type and color of shirt a character will wear.
Although the entire tour was incredible, I must admit my favorite part was learning how the motion capture cameras are used. I mean, I just figured it was an animated film, so everything was done through..animation. It isn't! They use actual cameras to create these awesome animated films! Who knew?!?!
Using motion capture technology is important because it gives you a more realistic feel while you are watching the movie. If the scene is a person running, for example, it looks flat if the screen is just steady. By adding a little bounce with the motion capture camera, the scene all of a sudden comes to life.
The room used for motion capture is actually very simple looking. The floor has a perimeter around it with colored cones. A camera that is able to turn and twist is inside of the perimeter. Using a computer they can scale the size they need the camera to capture, whether it be a small room or a full sized city. Each wall has a flat screen monitor that allows the cameraman to see what the camera will be shooting.
I created a video of Ralph running through Hero's Duty. Check it out below to see what it looks like when I make the camera move and turn.
As you can clearly see from this video, I'm not an expert. I think I have found my calling and am just waiting for the phone call so I can start working on the next big hit! Ha! I think I have the skills to make a scene as good as this one from Wreck-It Ralph…
Okay, so maybe not THAT good, but I'm well on the right track to get there….maybe….okay, not really, but it was fun. Maybe one day…or not, but I can dream.
Stay tuned for even more behind-the-scenes footage from my tour!
Wreck-It Ralph is available for instant digital download and will be available on DVD on March 5, 2013!
Disclosure: I was provided an all-expenses paid trip by Disney to attend the #DisneyOzEvent. All opinions expressed are 100% my own.

Economic Snapshot: February 2009
SOURCE: AP/Craig Ruttle
Download snapshot with full graphs (pdf)
The U.S. economy is experiencing its worst recession in decades. Jobs and wealth losses are accelerating, contributing to sharp increases in families' economic distress. This crisis was precipitated by a sharp drop in consumer spending, but also by a decline in business investment and by the fact that foreigners continue to purchase fewer U.S. exports than Americans are buying imports, especially as a global recession strikes the rest of the world.
The only sector of the economy that can turn this situation around is the federal government, although large looming deficits created by irresponsible management in the past will make it harder to achieve optimal results from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that was signed into law last week by President Barack Obama.
1. GDP growth turns negative. Gross domestic product declined at an annual rate of 3.8% during the fourth quarter of 2008, the largest decline since the third quarter of 2001. The drop in growth was coupled with a 3.5% decline in consumer spending during the fourth quarter after declining 3.8% in the previous quarter. Spending on homes also declined by 23.6% in the fourth quarter of 2008, marking the 12th quarterly decline in a row and thus the longest continuous decline in residential real estate spending since the Bureau of Economic Analysis began tracking the data in 1947.
2. Job losses accelerate. The U.S. economy shed 588,000 jobs in January 2009. The economy has lost 3.6 million jobs since the recession began in December 2007, including 1.8 million jobs in just the last three months.
3. Unemployment rates reflect broad labor market recession. The unemployment rate was 7.6% in January 2009—the highest level since September 1992. Last month, the African-American unemployment rate stood at 12.6%, the Hispanic unemployment rate at 9.7%, and the unemployment rate for whites at 6.9%.
4. The job market recession is the most severe in decades. Between December 2007 and January 2009, the labor market shrunk by 2.6%—the fastest decline during the first 13 months of a recession since the recession that started in May 1960. The unemployment rate rose by 2.7 percentage points during the first 13 months of the current recession, the fastest such increase since the recession that started in August 1957
5. Wages temporarily outgrew inflation. Factoring in inflation, hourly wages were 4.7% higher and weekly wages were 3.1% higher in December 2008 than in December 2007. These increases followed lower prices in December 2008 and are unlikely to continue.
6. Benefits decreased before the crisis. The share of private-sector workers with a pension dropped from 50.3% in 2000 to 45.1% in 2007, and the share of people with employer-provided health insurance dropped from 64.2% in 2000 to 59.3% in 2007.
7. Families are still burdened by high levels of debt. Household debt averaged 130.3% of disposable income in the third quarter of 2008, down from a record high of 133.5% at the end of 2007, but higher than any level recorded before September 2006.
8. The housing crisis deepens. New home sales in December 2008 were 44.8% lower and existing home sales were 3.5% lower than a year earlier. Median sales prices for new homes had dropped by 9.3% and those for existing homes by 15.3% at the same time. At the current rate of new home sales, it will take almost 13 months to sell all new houses on the market, making this the worst new home sale market since the Census collected these data in 1963.
9. Homeowners lose wealth. The values of all homes fell by $656 billion in the third quarter of 2008 after accounting for inflation, and they were 13.6% or $2.4 trillion lower than a year earlier, marking the largest such drop since the Federal Reserve collected these data in 1952. Home equity as a share of home values also fell to a record low of 44.7% in the third quarter of 2008.
10. Mortgage troubles mount. One in 10 mortgages are delinquent or in foreclosure. In the third quarter of 2008, the share of mortgages that were delinquent was 7.0%, and the share of mortgages that were in foreclosure was 3.0%. The share of new mortgages going into foreclosure stayed at its record high of 1.1% in the third quarter.
11. Families feel the pressure. Credit card defaults rose to 5.6% of all credit card debt by the third quarter of 2008, an increase of 35.4% from the fourth quarter of 2007.
12. Business investment declines. Business investment declined by 19.1% during the fourth quarter of 2008, the largest decline since the first quarter of 1975. Business spending on equipment and software also dropped by 27.8%, the largest decline since the first quarter of 1958.
13. The trade deficit remains high. The trade deficit was at 3.7% of GDP in the third quarter of 2008. Despite declining slightly, the trade deficit remains at a historically high and ultimately unsustainable level.
14. Large deficits are looming. Following years of fiscal and economic mismanagement, the federal deficit is expected to reach $1.2 trillion in 2009, even before the effect of the necessary economic stimulus has been included.

Top Gun Raceway is the only ¼ mile NHRA sanctioned track in Northern Nevada and is located just 14 miles south of Fallon, Nevada on Highway 95. It's a member of the NHRA Pacific 7 Division and is host to an annual Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Divisional Points race every June. Other events include:
A full Summit ET Series Schedule where street cars, door cars, dragsters and motorcycles battle among themselves to see who will come out on top and be named Track Champion.
The Summit Junior Drag Racing League which offers kids ages 8-17 a chance to race half-scale dragsters in a controlled environment long before they can obtain a state driver's license. The cars that Jr. Drag Racing League competitors race are called Jr. Dragsters and are half-scale versions of Top Fuel dragsters. Using a five-horsepower, single-cylinder engine, a Jr. Dragster can go as fast as 85 mph and as quick as 7.90 seconds in an eighth-mile
The World Famous $5 Friday Test and Tunes where the track opens on Friday night five times a season and spectators get in for only $5. If a person chooses to run down the track during those nights, it's only another $10 for a tech card. It's cheap entertainment and well worth the trip out to the track.
A Test and Tune is when people come out to make test passes in their vehicle or to practice or to do NHRA License passes or just to have fun driving fast in a safe environment. We allow these at every event (except for the Divisional Race) and they aren't just for race cars, but also for street cars, junior dragsters, imports, motorcycles and snowmobiles.
So next time you feel the need for some speed, bring yourself out to Top Gun Raceway and see what we have to offer. You won't go home disappointed.

Out of Characterby Piercarlo Valdesolo David Desteno
Have you ever wondered why a trumpeter of family values would suddenly turn around and cheat on his wife? Why jealousy would send an otherwise level-headed person into a violent rage? What could drive a person to blow a family fortune at the blackjack tables? Or have you ever pondered what might make Mr. Right leave his beloved at the altar, why hypocrisy seems to be rampant, or even why, every once in awhile, even you are secretly tempted, to lie, cheat, or steal (or, conversely, help someone you never even met)? This book answers these questions and more, and in doing so, turns the prevailing wisdom about who we are upside down. Our character, argue psychologists DeSteno and Valdesolo, isn't a stable set of traits, but rather a shifting state that is subject to the constant push and pull of hidden mechanisms in our mind. And it's the battle between these dueling psychological forces that determine how we act at any given point in time. Drawing on the surprising results of the clever experiments concocted in their own laboratory, DeSteno and Valdesolo shed new scientific light on so many of the puzzling behaviors that regularly grace the headlines. For example, you'll learn: * Why Tiger Woods just couldn't resist the allure of his mistresses even though he had a picture-perfect family at home. And why no one, including those who knew him best, ever saw it coming. * Why even the shrewdest of investors can be tempted to gamble their fortunes away (and why risky financial behavior is driven by the same mechanisms that compel us to root for the underdog in sports). * Why Eliot Spitzer, who made a career of crusading against prostitution, turned out to be one of the most famous johns of all time. * Why Mel Gibson, a noted philanthropist and devout Catholic, has been repeatedly caught spewing racist rants, even though close friends say he doesn't have a racist bone in his body. * And why any of us is capable of doing the same, whether we believe it or not!A surprising look at the hidden forces driving the saint and sinner lurking in us all, Out of Character reveals why human behavior is so much more unpredictable than we ever realized. From the Hardcover edition.

Lenore Skomal: Not your business, no use prying
My grandmother -- wizened crone -- had a saying, which I really think is the crux of happy living. Ironic how those who came before us start to make sense the older we get, isn't it? A second-generation German born to immigrant parents from Bavaria, she was born and bred in Nebraska and had an industrious pragmatism, despite her whimsical and often vain nature. Though a bit of a gossip herself -- who isn't in Small Town, America? -- she didn't take to people poking their snouts into her business. When a nosy posy came along and poked into private territory, she'd lilt with a syrupy smile, "Oh, you should mind your own beeswax, dear."
Beeswax was the more genteel way of saying "business." Otherwise put, buzz off. She never once said this to us, her grandkids, as it was generally understood back then that as children we were expected to mind our own beeswax and then some, and cheekiness wasn't tolerated.
While I appreciated her advice, it was my mother's practicality and "because I said so" parenting that really drove the point home. Grandma's phrase was hijacked into my mother's arsenal and used continually, changed here and there to suit the situation or crisis.
As one of seven children around the dinner table, fights broke out routinely. In general, it was about vegetable portions; in specific, about lima beans, the most hated legume of my generation and the go-to vegetable in my mother's freezer. She had boxes of them. Frozen into solid bricks, these limp, drab-green things were boiled into submission and then piled onto our plates coated in margarine, under the misnomer of being nutritious. I hated them so much, I counted everyone's lima beans to make sure no one was forced to swallow fewer of them whole than I was.
When a discrepancy was found and registered as a complaint with the prison matron -- I mean my mother -- it was summarily dismissed. "Mind your own plate," became her warning salvo. And she meant it. She demanded all of us stare at our own plates and not even glance at our neighbor's. If my little brother, Mommy's little pet, got away with not eating all of his limas or spitting them surreptitiously into his napkin and I dared tip the balance of justice, I ran the risk of being given all of his, chewed ones and all.
You'd think I'd have realized then the powerful lesson to mind my own beeswax. But no. It's taken years to realize that she's right. There's a lot of wisdom in minding your own beeswax. And a lot of benefit, too. You soon stop worrying about what other people think about you. Which lets you do something else -- live and let live.

Capital Guidelines and Ethical Duties: Mutually Reinforcing Responsibilities
Lawrence J. Fox
Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP
Hofstra Law Review, Vol. 36, No. 3, 2008
This article appears in the Hofstra Law Review symposium issue on the Supplementary Guidelines for the Mitigation Function of Defense Teams in Death Penalty cases.
It is counsel, and not any non-lawyer member of the multidisciplinary defense team which needs to be assembled to provide competent representation in a capital case, who bears ultimate responsibility for the team's performance and for decisions affecting the client and the case. This article describes the many respects in which counsel's specific obligations under both the ABA's Guidelines for the Appointment and Performance of Defense Counsel in Death Penalty Cases reprinted in 31 Hofstra L. Rev. 913 (2003) and the Supplementary Guidelines that are the subject of this issue are either direct implementations of or logical corollaries to deeply-rooted provisions of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct that would bind counsel in any event. Correspondingly, the ABA Guidelines and Supplementary Guidelines illuminate the requirements of the Model Rules in the particular context of capital representation.

text: A legacy oil field, the Pembina Cardium field was discovered in 1953. ARC has been a core holder in the area since the company's inception in 1996 and today remains one of the largest operators in the region. With more than 7.8 billion barrels of original oil in place the field is the largest conventional oil pool in western Canada. Attractive features of the field, include its long-reserve life index, production of high netback and high quality oil, and proximity to refining facilities. ARC has had great success accessing a lower-permeability sandstone reservoir beneath the primary producing zone using horizontal fracture stimulation. The application of horizontal technology in the region is reviving this 50 year old asset.

Citigroup, whose market-making unit suffered millions of dollars of losses trading Facebook in its public debut, urged U.S. regulators to reject Nasdaq OMX Group Inc.'s proposal to pay $62 million in compensation.
The third-biggest U.S. bank said Nasdaq OMX's claims that its liability should be limited because it is a self-regulatory organization is unsupported by legal precedent. Decisions made by the second-largest equity trading venue in the May 18 initial public offering were aimed at protecting its profits, the company said.
Citigroup's assertions, contained in a 17-page letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission, came one day after rival market maker Citadel LLC said Nasdaq's proposal should be approved. The New York-based bank told regulators that its losses exceed its portion of the pool proposed by Nasdaq last month, which would compensate Wall Street firms that lost money after a design flaw in its computers delayed Facebook's open and left traders confused about how many shares they owned.
"Market participants suffered hundreds of millions of dollars of losses as a result of Nasdaq's profit-driven conduct prior to and during the Facebook IPO, not as a result of protected regulatory activity by Nasdaq, or routine system failures," Citigroup wrote. "Nasdaq should not be permitted to hide behind regulatory immunity."
Joseph Christinat, a Nasdaq spokesman, declined to comment.
Citigroup and Citadel operate equity wholesaling groups, brokers that execute orders for individual investors sent by securities firms such as Charles Schwab Corp., TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. and Fidelity Investments.
Payout Increase
Nasdaq OMX last month increased its planned payout to brokers that lost money trading Facebook to $62 million from $40 million in cash and credit. Nasdaq said it made the decision despite protections it possesses as a regulated exchange. The cap on Nasdaq's liability stemming from technology errors and malfunctions it causes is $3 million, according to the exchange's rules.
