For nearly 3,000 years now, traditional Chinese medicine or TCM has been taking a holistic approach to diagnosing and treating bodily disorders and dysfunction. To eliminate disease and discomfort, TCM involves restoration of the balance between bodily systems through Chinese herbs on one hand and acupuncture or Tuina therapy on the other. This approach is guided by Chinese philosophy and its worldview. Chinese philosophy sees the human body as a system within the system of the universe. It is a smaller system within this greater system, and any function or behavior exhibited by the body can find its parallel in the workings of the universe. With TCM, overall well being requires that our attitudes, level of contentment, the food we eat, the air we breathe, the work we do and the lifestyles we live are all in balance.
Life Rising was founded with these tenets in mind. After immigrating to the United States to continue his research, our founder Zhengang Guo established himself as a leading acupuncturist and master Chinese herbalist in Chicago by being a pioneer in TCM education in Illinois. His dedication and devotion to the research of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) have led to the opening of a flagship clinic for TCM, Tuina and acupuncture in Chicago on Archer Avenue.
Master Guo has also overseen the opening of additional clinics in the Chicagoland area; one for TCM consultation, Tuina and acupuncture in Westmont and another location for TCM consultation, Tuina and acupuncture in Northbrook, IL. In addition to clinic services and locations, Life Rising also offers a full product line which draws on Chinese herbal medicine at its best and most powerfully effective. Ease, convenience and palatability are key factors in keeping patients on task with a regular course of herbal formulas and supplements.

When I was about 10 years old, my parents taught me some very important lessons about the basics of money. You earn it, you pay taxes on it, you save some, you give some away, and you spend the rest.
They taught me to always make sure not to spend more than I had; otherwise I'd get myself in trouble. I was also told that when times get tough, and you can't afford the things you want, you cut back your spending.
Most importantly, my parents said that I should never put myself in a position in which I was living so far beyond my means that I could not recover.
Apparently, the Democrats in our state Legislature didn't have anyone to teach them these basic principles.
Let me start by saying this: While I am upset with the way Sacramento Democrats are handling the state budget issues, I am equally disappointed with how our federal Republican representation has recently drifted away from the basic policies of fiscal responsibility that used to be integral to the traditional platform of the GOP.
Many voters now perceive Republicans as the party of big government, which must have Ronald Reagan rolling over in his grave. At least our presumptive Republican nominee for president, John McCain, has articulated the need for Congress to return to a policy that would see lower taxes and curtailed spending to balance the budget, rather than the other way around - which is unlike the platform of the Democrats in Sacramento.
With that caveat addressed, let me provide some context for my discontent. Despite tough economic times, California had a gross domestic product of about $1.7 trillion for 2007, with over $134 billion in exports. California currently boasts five of the top-10 most expensive communities to live in within the United States.
According to some reports, if California were an independent nation it would have the seventh largest economy in the world. For years, the Golden State has had the Golden Goose that so many other states, and other nations, envied.
Yet we still have a $17.2 billion state budget deficit, which is over 10 percent of our annual GDP. While our great state's per capita income places us eleventh in the country, we pay the fourth-highest tax burden.
Additionally, California has the second highest rate of residential real estate foreclosure in the nation.
So the question becomes, with such relative financial success and potential for growth, why does this state have such a monumental financial problem? A big part of the problem is that the California Legislature seems incapable of approving a balanced budget.
Democrats in the state Legislature recently introduced their state budget proposals, which call for combined tax increases of nearly $11.5 billion! Their proposed budget also has rejected nearly every single spending reduction that was suggested earlier this year by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Instead, the Democrats have proposed to increase spending on a number of health and welfare programs to the tune of nearly $3 billion for next year alone.
Benjamin Franklin once said, "Certainty? In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes."
I completely understand that taxes are an inevitability, and are necessary to help build and maintain infrastructure, and to provide public services and public safety. But what I don't understand is why the Democrats in our state Legislature believe it is acceptable to the voters of California to raise taxes, rather than curtail spending, as a cure to the state's economic problems.
The voters of this state have repeatedly expressed their disapproval of this type of "remedy" for an unbalanced budget. A recent Field Poll of Californians shows that 63 percent want to see the budget deficit addressed through reduced spending, while only 26 percent agreed to raise taxes in order to balance the budget.
In a time when voters are being forced to tighten our belts in order to offset rising costs of gasoline, food and the basics of life, why is it acceptable for our representatives to take an opposite approach?
As voters, it is time to send a message to our leadership: If we have to make sacrifices, you should too!
Our state and federal governments should be forced to live within their means, work with what they have, and cut back spending the same way voters do in order to balance their household budgets.
Unfortunately, our Democratic legislators (and to some extent a number of Republicans) aren't listening to 62 percent of their constituents and feel that the best way out of this tough financial situation is to spend more.
Based upon the simple lessons I learned when I was 10, I can tell you this plan just won't work.
If our leadership in the California Legislature fails to make more careful, well-reasoned decisions in the next few years, the Golden State may wind up killing the Golden Goose!

Frederick's Pastries is selling cupcakes to help the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of its popular Boston cream cupcakes will go to help the Boston One Foundation, which is aiding those affected by the bombing at the marathon about two weeks ago.
The cupcakes are on sale at Frederick's New Hampshire locations in Bedford and Amherst, along with North Andover, Mass.
The fundraiser has been going on for about a week, and workers said they have already sold hundreds of the cupcakes.
The cupcakes sell for $4.99, and the effort will continue for at least another week.

HARARE, Zimbabwe - As Zimbabwe braced for its most hotly contested election since independence, 14 opposition poll watchers were abducted and held for several hours Friday, raising further doubts about the fairness of a weekend vote that follows months of campaign violence.
President Robert Mugabe's party has ruled the country for two decades, and the strong challenge posed by the nascent Movement for Democratic Change has startled the country's entrenched leadership.
Human rights groups and some international observers have accused Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front party of waging a campaign of intimidation against opponents to keep them from the parliamentary polls today and Sunday.
A recent opinion poll showed strong support for the opposition, but it will be difficult for the MDC to win an overall majority. Mugabe, whose term runs until 2002, is not on the ballot, but the election is seen as a referendum on his autocratic rule and the shrinking economy.
Pierre Schori, leader of the 173-person European Union observer mission, said pre-election violence raised concerns about how many of Zimbabwe's 5.1 million voters would show up at the polls.
"When I talk to my observers, with their experience, they have not been used to this amount of violence in previous elections they have observed," Schori said.
More than 30 people, mostly opposition supporters, have been killed in political violence since February, after Mugabe's party suffered its first electoral loss with the defeat of a constitutional referendum it backed.
On Friday, suspected ruling party militants detained and questioned 14 poll watchers in western Zimbabwe, eventually freeing all but one, said David Coltart, a local MDC candidate. The remaining poll watcher's whereabouts were unknown, he said.
Throughout the campaign, Mugabe has vilified the MDC as a puppet of the country's tiny, but economically powerful, white minority who he says would return the country to British colonial rule.

Farewell, multiplayer. It has been a nice run.
Being financially destitute, I had to drastically cut down my expenses and with much regret, severed ties with my broadband internet connection. Thank you, fucking exorbitant student loans. Readers, it doesn't pay to go school unless you have a position waiting just for you after graduation. I foolishly pursued a passion and invested both my time and money into a useless liberal arts degree. Sorry that I didn't want to wipe butts as a nurse or become an official nerd by studying some field of engineering. I wanted to make films, damnit. I guess the dream is still alive, but its light is fading rapidly. But as they say, everything happens for a reason. Maybe I should take this a sign to finally buckle down and follow through to achieve a goal of mine. Also, I guess I am really pissed off because I have been forced to grow up and become "fiscally responsible"—at age 28 finally.
So now I am going to write yet scathing diatribe about Corporate America's iron grip. Broadband internet has been monopolized across America. There are truly only three players: Comcast, Time Warner, or AT&T. True, you may have some alternatives in highly-populated metropolitan areas, but your region only offers one or two of said choices. Here in suburbia, the buttcrack of America sector (Missouri) to be exact, my area can only receive two broadband providers: Comcast or AT&T. I originally went with Comcast, but since they virtually have a monopoly in my town, the nefarious company has significantly increased its monthly rate on average of $10-20 dollars per year. What was initially a $30 broadband bill a month is now currently $70. (A'murica! Fawk yeah!) And as can you surmise, bills and taxes have increased as well. But yet for some odd reason my wage has remained stagnant—and I didn't factor in inflation, either. Now before I go off on a political tangent, I just want to raise awareness that most of us need to quit being so aloof and come to the realization that we're gradually getting poorer. But I digress. I just wanted to address the monopoly on high-speed internet. I'm sorry, but $70+ bucks a month is ridiculous just to play Team Deathmatch a couple hours a week. Not only that, but I averaged at best 12mbps speed-wise. So it wasn't really that great of connection to begin with.
It's evident that not only I have been charged an exorbitant amount due to price-fixing, but also there is a strong indication that data speed is capped. If I read my modem correctly, the unit is capable of receiving up to five times the amount. I'm barely over DSL speed. Plus my ping test results indicated that I receive my connection nearly 30 miles away.
I of course looked into other alternatives, but the only offering is AT&T where they are lower in price, but at a dinky 8mbps. And that's pretty much it. There are no other alternative ISPs in my region. I mean, granted, Google offered their fiber optic service with blazing speeds in the city, but we're just a test market that is available in certain (affluent) neighborhoods for the time being.
Oh well. Ironically I just divorced Call of Duty anyway. I suppose it was inevitable. And I believe I am not the only gamer who experienced this predicament, too. The consumer's only voice is their wallet. Hopefully we won't become dumb enough through the years where we have to take out a loan just to pay the cable bill. But so far it looks imminent. Consumer exploitation has to end, else developers will have to cease in creating multiplayer (filler) content. I think it will be okay, though. I do have a big ass backlog of RPG classics to tackle. Plus my neighbor offered his wifi connection. So the blog will continue, but the online gaming ends.
Until next time (hopefully). I guess I will resort in trying out more beneficial things like excercising or learning an instrument. Eh, productivity is overrated.

Breakfast at Tiffany's
- Directed by Blake Edwards
===Story=== No film better utilizes Audrey Hepburn's flighty charm and svelte beauty than this romantic adaptation of Truman Capote's novella. Hepburn's urban sophisticate Holly Golightly, an enchanting neurotic living off the gifts of gentlemen, is a bewitching figure in designer dresses and costume jewelry. George Peppard is her upstairs neighbor, a struggling writer and "kept" man financed by a steely older woman (Patricia Neal). His growing friendship with the lonely Holly soon turns to love and threatens the delicate balance of both of their compromised lives. Taking liberties with Capote's bittersweet story, director Blake Edwards and screenwriter George Axelrod turn New York into a city of lovers and create a poignant portrait of Holly, a frustrated romantic with a secret past and a hidden vulnerability. Composer Henry Mancini earned Oscars for the hit song "Moon River" and his tastefully romantic score. The only sour note in the whole film is Mickey Rooney's demeaning performance as the apartment's Japanese manager, an offensively overdone stereotype even in 1961. The rest of the film has weathered the decades well. Edward's elegant yet light touch, Axelrod's generous screenplay, and Hepburn's mix of knowing experience and naivet combine to create one of the great screen romances and a refined slice of high society bohemian chic. ===DVD Features=== *Audio commentary by producer Richard Shepherd *The Making Of A Classic featurette *It's So Audrey!

Above Average Joe
Joe Torre is a sweetheart of a guy, but there's the same demand for his services as a manager as there was for Darryl Strawberry's as a ballplayer.
Mike Lupica, in "Below Average Joe," Daily News, October 31, 1995
Hard though it may be to remember, as Joe Torre moves closer to his triumphant return to Yankee Stadium, but Lupica was pretty much just spouting the consensus reaction to Torre's hiring as Yankee manager in late 1995: Nice guy. Lousy manager. But try, if you will, to rewind past the ticker tape parades and look at Steinbrenner's October Surprise without the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. Torre was brought in to replace a brilliant, if tightly wound, young manager named Buck
Showalter, who had led the Yankees from the depths of Stump Merrilldom to their first playoff appearance in 13 years. Showalter's reward? A pink slip. Torre's credentials a career record of 994-1003, zero World Series appearances more than justified tabloid comments like Lupica's. His hiring seemed like the managerial version of Dale Murray for Fred McGriff.
And initially it didn't look too promising. Whereas the credenza in the Yankee Stadium manager's office had once supported Showalter's copy of Total Baseball, it now displayed Torre's copy of the Godfather trilogy. ("It's a Sicilian message. It means that Randy Velarde sleeps with the fishes.") Mel "Pitch count? What pitch count?" Stottlemyre was the new pitching coach. And the sacrifice bunt suddenly seemed like a religion.

But when the '96 Yankees jumped out to a fast start and a comfortable division lead, all this was forgotten as quickly as the Macarena. And over the course of that summer and succeeding ones any serious discussion of Torre's decision making abilities was replaced by talk about the melodrama of his life: A baby daughter. A brother's death. Another brother's heart transplant. A career-long wait to get to the World Series. A Showtime bio flick (Curveballs Along the Way). Another World Series. A cancer diagnosis. Another cancer diagnosis. It seemed, at times, that Torre just dropped in from Central Casting.
So while there's been plenty of ink spilled on Joe Torre the mensch, Joe Torre the cancer patient, Joe Torre the lunch-meat pitchman, there has been precious little discussion of Joe Torre the baseball manager.
So let's do just that. How about a quick scan of Torre's résumé? The highlights are higher than a Cheech and Chong film festival. He's won two World Series. Among active managers, only Tom Kelly of the Twins can make a similar claim. Forget about 114 wins. In merely winning 100, he joins a pretty select club: Bobby Cox, Tony LaRussa, Davey Johnson, and Mike Hargrove, among those still coaching.
But despite this, he's rarely mentioned in the same sentence as LaRussa and Jim Leyland. Why not? The lows. His career winning percentage is .502. That's just a shade below Don Zimmer. And below such luminaries as Bill Virdon and Tom Treblehorn.
So which is it? Is the glass of Lambrusco half full or half empty? While most analyses of managers begin with the hit-and-run and end with how long they'll let their starters twist in the wind, these in-game judgments are really the least important part of a manager's responsibilities. Let's instead take a look at some of the really big decisions of the Yankees' Joe Torre Era.
Could we have seen it coming? Torre had always shown a willingness to gamble on young players and good judgment when he did. Ray Lankford, Todd Zeile, Bernard Gilkey, and Brian Jordan won their jobs under Torre.
Could we have seen it coming? No. His handling of Ozzie Smith's decline was one of the contributing factors along with lots of losses to his dismissal in St. Louis.
But Torre has always believed in a structured bullpen. In '96 John Wetteland was his closer. Period. And instead of succumbing to the temptation to put Rivera back into the rotation remember, Jack McDowell was in Cleveland and David Cone on the operating table he deeded the seventh and eighth to the young fireballer. The result? Rivera smoked hitters in innings that Steve Howe, Bob Wickman, and the rest of the bullpen-by-committee had so deftly soaked in lighter fluid the year before.
Could we have seen it coming? Torre was actually one of the pioneers of the closer-in-the-ninth philosophy, getting Lee Smith a then-NL record 47 saves in '91.
Could we have seen it coming? Loyalty to his players, albeit sometimes misguided, has always been a big Torre strong point.
Could we have seen it coming? No. His teams in St. Louis and Atlanta were always middle of the packers in walks and OBP.
So, is Joe Torre a genius? Well, no, but then again Stephen Hawking can't figure out when to hit and run. But as LaRussa and Leyland have shown, you can win without horses. You just can't win championships. On the other hand, Torre's proven he's no Joe Altobelli either. You can luck into one World Series but not two. What's the verdict on Torre? Against all odds, and with a little luck, he took a good team and made it great. Can you really ask anything more from a manager?

Hundreds of eager college students armed with imaginative ideas like a plate that weighs food portions and a restaurant inventory anti-theft device crammed into the corridors of The University of Texas-Pan American's College of Business Administration Nov. 16.
The students were members of more than 30 University teams participating in the Great BizIdea Showdown, an annual contest to promote leadership, entrepreneurship and inventive ideas.
The competition requires each team to formulate a viable business venture and then market the products to the University community. Displays were set up throughout the halls for students to view the final product.
Norman Jeffries, a senior international business degree major, and his team devised a business plan to build a climate control trailer, equipped with an oversized cooling fan to help oilfield and farm workers battle the heat.
"It is not as cold as an air conditioned unit so you don't run the risk of getting a cold and you are not susceptible to extreme weather changes and so the worker can get back to the job safely after stepping into this trailer," Jeffries said. "We are trying to pursue this to make the workers more productive and avoid getting heat stroke."
Jeffries said the business idea face-off was a great trial run for a real-world corporate pitch.
"We get exposed to how we need to present our plan and how we need to present ourselves. We also get an idea of what we really want to pursue," Jeffries said. "I am hoping we can actually make a future business out of this and make it a profitable business."
Dr. John Sargent, UTPA professor of management, helped to organize the showdown. Sargent said the experience is stimulating for students because they learn how to channel their interests into profitable ventures.
"You get immediate results because it is embedded in them what it takes to be successful. Five years down the road they can start their own business and they remember it began in a class at UTPA," Sargent said.
Susana Gonzalez's team created a comprehensive plan for an electric auto windshield visor. The UTPA junior insists her product is superior to the regular fold-out car visor.
"It retracts up and down by itself with a push of a button and essentially what our product offers is convenience. It is effortless pretty much," Gonzalez said. "In seconds it will automatically go up and provide complete heat coverage on the front windshield."
UTPA junior, Hiteshu Bhakta, and his five-person team also took the challenge seriously. They peddled a prevention device that they hope will someday save a baby's life. It is a universal belt buckle that attaches to a child car seat with a Bluetooth-enabled chip inside.
"There will be an app on smart phones for it or you can have the keychain. As soon as you buckle it in, it is activated and a signal link is established," Bhakta said. "If you walk more than 15 feet away and leave the child buckled in, the signal is broken and an alarm is set off reminding you that you left your baby in the car."
One of Bhakta's group members is pregnant and he said that served as the inspiration behind the baby safety buckle.
"This is a problem that needs to be solved. The temperature in a car goes from 80 degrees to 120 degrees within 20 minutes," Bhakta said. "We found over 200 documented cases of it occurring. So this is our chance to address the problem with our plan because a child's life is priceless."
Bhakta said he appreciated the opportunity to collectively design a business plan because he was able to apply what he has learned as a student on a business track.
"This is what it is like in the real world. You have to create a product and then market it," he said.
A panel of outside judges with entrepreneurial experience determined the contest finalists. Ballots were also available to students who wanted to vote for their favorite display. Students selected the Student Choice Award and the competing teams selected the winner of the Peer Award.
The six top vote-getters then had 10 minutes to present their ideas to an auditorium of spectators and the judges. Following the presentations, audience members had the opportunity to scream for their favorite team for 10 seconds. The judges then determined a Scream Award recipient based on the volume of approval from the audience. The panel also selected the top three winners eligible for more than $3,000 awarded in cash prizes.
"This was just a great chance to show that we can build a real business and promote it. We get to take our ideas to the next level," Jeffries said.
Winners of the BizIdea Showdown for 2011 are:
First Place: P&S Recycled Auto Bumpers $1,500
Second Place: Aba's Helpers $500
Third Place: E-Biss $250
Student Choice Award: The Leaf Munchers
Peer Award: E-Biss
Scream Award: E-Biss

You may feel inspired to lend your support to friends and family members today. Perhaps you want to ease the burden for loved ones who are going through difficult circumstances, or you may feel a desire to strengthen the bonds you share with the important people in your life. Though your gestures are given in a spirit of love, you may also find yourself feeling resentful if your loved ones don't express appreciation or reciprocate your kindness today. You can avoid the possibility of hurt feelings by releasing your expectation of receiving anything in return for your efforts. If you focus instead on letting each good deed be its own reward, you will feel inspired and joyful about your actions, regardless of the spirit in which they are received.
Giving to others without expectation of anything in return allows us to feel good about our ability to make a positive difference in the world. Though we may not perform good deeds with the intention to receive praise and recognition, it is easy to get caught up in expecting to see tangible rewards for our efforts, and therefore forget our initial objective of serving others. By instead focusing on how good it feels to help others, we automatically enjoy rich rewards in the form of character development, inspiration, and lasting satisfaction about the positive energy we share with those in need. The efforts you put forth on behalf of others today can continue to bless you with spiritual rewards for a long time to come.

The Olympic Games are being blamed for a renewed North-South divide as a widening gap emerges in the housing market and the number of businesses showing signs of distress.
Experts say that the South East has received an economic shot in the arm from preparations for next year's Games in London, from which the regions have not benefited.
House values in the regions have fallen so far since the recession that the price paid for an average home in the South could now buy you two up North, according to the property website Rightmove.

Attack speed is a measure of how fast units attack relative to their base attack time. In game, increased attack speed (IAS) is granted by items, buffs from spells and auras, agility, and passive abilities.
Attack speed is represented in game as a number, usually with a percentage sign (%), but sometimes not. Regardless of whether a percentage sign is included or not, the meaning is the same.
Each point of agility (either base agility or bonus agility from items and abilities) gives 1 IAS.
All sources of IAS stack additively: for instance, if a hero has 30 agility, a Hand of Midas, and is affected by a Shiva's Guard aura from an enemy unit, the hero will have 30+30-40=20 total IAS.
If a unit has 0 IAS, it can attack only once every base attack time (BAT). Increased Attack speed represents the amount your attack speed has increased (or, when negative, decreased) as a percentage of your BAT in the following sense: A unit with x IAS will attack x/100 more times per second than if it had 0 IAS.
There is a maximum and minimum IAS a unit can have. IAS is capped at -80 and 400, meaning there will always be a minimum of BAT/5 seconds between two attacks.
Attack Speed Formula
To determine how fast a unit attacks, the following formulas may be used:
Attacks per second = (1 + IAS)/BAT
Example of formula:
Vengeful Spirit has a BAT of 1.7
If Vengeful Spirit has a total of 160 IAS, the formula will be as follows:
Attacks per second = (1 + 1.60)/1.7 = 1.53 times per second.
Seconds per attack = BAT/(1+IAS)
Example of formula:
Windrunner has a BAT of 1.5
If Windrunner has max (400) IAS, then each attack will take:
Seconds per attack = (1 + 4)/1.5 = 0.3 seconds.
Note: IAS in this formula is a percentage, so you must divide your actual IAS by 100 before using it in this formula.
Special case: Damage point
If a unit's damage point (the point at which an attack completes) is greater than the unit's BAT, the damage point will be used instead of the BAT in the formula above. Currently in DotA, this only applies to the Death Ward.
The first formula can also be used to determine how long a unit's frontswing and backswing animation will be. In either case, you simply divide the animation time. For example, Clinkz's frontswing animation is 0.7 seconds, so with minimum (-80) IAS, his frontswing will last 0.7/(1-0.8) = 3.5 seconds.

Local gymnast returns from Chile with gold
by Deborah Stone
Features Writer
Fifteen-year-old Brittany Billmaier has been a gymnast since she was six.
For the past nine years she has been training and competing in local, regional and national competitions, rising up each of the competence levels in her sport.
Gymnastics has been her life with five-hour practices, five days a week at a local gymnastic studio, Northwest Aerials.
Billmaier, a WHS sophomore, recently returned from a trip to Santiago, Chile, where she and three others from Northwest Aerials competed at the South American Gymnastic Championship Tournament.
She took fifth place all-around for the four events (balance beam, floor exercise, vault and uneven bars) and won first place on the balance beam.
Her team from Northwest Aerials won the gold medal for team competition.
"It was a wonderful experience," says Billmaier. "I had such fun and it was great to meet all the girls from the different South American countries. I tried to communicate with them, but I don't know much Spanish so it was a bit hard, but still I made some friends that I hope I can e-mail with in the future. Santiago is a really pretty city and you can see the Andes Mountains in the background. I had never been there before so it was all a new and different experience for me.
"It was especially exciting for me because I felt I did one of my best routines ever on the beams and that felt great!"
The opportunity to travel to Chile and compete in the tournament came as a result of a group of Chilean gymnasts who came to the Seattle area to train last year. "They trained at our gym," explains Billmaier, "and a relationship developed that led to an invitation to come to Chile."
Billmaier's specialty is the balance beam as she finds it the most challenging of the four apparatuses.
She says, "I love to learn to do the flips and various movements on it. It also takes so much concentration and when you do something right, it feels so satisfying."
Billmaier finds the sport very exciting and is not fazed by competitions. She enjoys the energy that comes from the meets and all the people she gets to know along the way.
For the past two years, she has been to the U.S. Junior Olympic Nationals and has placed second all-around on her team. To combat any nervousness she feels when competing, she uses various relaxation techniques that she has learned from her coaches, John and Tammy Carney.
"We have to take mental training to prepare us to compete," explains Billmaier, "and we're told to visualize our routines before we do them on the apparatus. This really helps us to focus and picture the perfect routine."
Billmaier's next important competition is the Level 10 Junior Nationals in Oregon in the spring. Level 10 is the level just below Elite (the competence level attained by those competing at the Olympics).
There are not many Elite gymnasts in the U.S. as the tests to award such a distinction are rigorous. Billmaier's future goal is to compete for a college after she graduates from high school.
She says, "A college education is my first goal, but I want to continue to do gymnastics because it's a part of my life that is very important to me. Maybe one day I'll get to coach others, which I think would be a lot of fun."

Readers, please learn from my experience with a contractor.
I entered into a signed contract with him, which detailed the work he would complete installing a new metal roof on my building. After completing the work, I experienced several issues with the roof, including numerous leaks. He did not resolve any of these issues.
Upon calling the West Virginia Contractors Licensing Board, I was notified that he is not a licensed contractor. Therefore, that gave me little recourse in resolving my problems.
Finally, I was forced to find another contractor, who was licensed, to inspect the roof and perform the necessary repairs it needed. This licensed contractor determined the roof had been installed incorrectly and confirmed that several critical items from my original contract were never completed, such as installing a vapor barrier. Furthermore, there was a large portion of the roof support deck missing and several areas left open to rodent infestations.
The roof was completely removed and reinstalled correctly.
My hope is that other home or building owners in the area read this and learn from my experience. Please make sure you hire a licensed and insured contractor to perform any work on your behalf.
Ask to see their license and proof of insurance. Also make sure they are licensed in the work they will be doing for you. Otherwise, you may end up paying twice to have someone else come back and do the work properly like I did.

The Administrative Team at Windsor Hill Arts Infused Elementary held a meeting with the entire third grade on a recent Early Release Day in the cafeteria. All classes were dropped off by their homeroom teachers and left in the cafeteria for high quality instruction led by Principal Vernisa Bodison, Interim Assistant Principal Donna Clark, Title I Facilitator Taddy Thomas, ITS Pam Inabinett, and Guidance Counselors Tori Alford and Cara Jones. They performed a short skit on the writing process, using giant pencil props that Ms. Bodison had acquired recently. Ms. Bodison led the students through the process with a question and answer session, emphasizing the reality that achieving Exemplary on PASS is possible for all students. Ms. Bodison and her team said they were very impressed by some of the higher-level words and thought processes the students were using.

AT WEDNESDAY'S news conference welcoming Temple back into the Big East, commissioner John Marinatto gave every indication that Villanova might join the conference for football at some point. At the very least, the Big East is on record as trying to help position the program for that possibility.
Doesn't mean it will happen, only that it could.
Villanova's trustees were poised to vote last April to move up from the Football Championship Subdivision to the BCS and play football in the conference it's called home for almost everything else for 3 decades. The Big East backed off at the last moment, then the landscape changed. Dramatically. The changes might not be over.

TUNICA – The automotive industry, like other industries, is cyclical, but it forgot about that during the halcyon days of 17 million vehicle sales.
So said Don Esmond, Toyota Motor Sales' senior vice president of automotive operations, at Friday's closing event of the Southern Automotive Conference.
"I've been in this business for 40 years, and it's always been cyclical," he said. "But I think we forgot about that. So when we had this big bump in the road, it was even bigger than most before because we saw sales drop 40 percent. Previously, the biggest drop was 20 percent. It was pretty tough."
But Esmond, echoing the opinion of other auto industry veterans and observers, said sales appear to be stabilizing after a three-year tumble.
"It looks like the industry is on track to sell about 11.5 million vehicles in the U.S. this year, which is about a million more than last year," he said. "I think next year we're looking at 12 million and by mid-decade, we're back to about 15 million.
"We're still a little cautious, but there does appear to be some pent-up demand."
On Thursday, Kim Korth, president and owner of global consulting firm IRN Inc., said she expected U.S. vehicle production to reach 14.5 million to 15 million through 2015.
Esmond noted that Toyota's sales through September are up compared to last year and the company was still No. 1 in retail sales despite the negative publicity it got during the first half of the year.
Esmond didn't shy away from Toyota's recall of some 10 million vehicles. The Japanese automaker's initial slow response to the problems turned into a public relations nightmare for the company, which was accused of acting too slowly and hiding information.
"We heard our wake-up call loud and clear," Esmond said.
Toyota now is focused on becoming the industry benchmark in quality, safety and customer satisfaction, he said.
Esmond, who also visited the Blue Springs plant before driving to Tunica, said sales for the Corolla, which will be built at the facility next fall, continue to be strong.
"It was the No. 3 best-selling car last year, with a heavy push during the cash for clunkers deal, and this year, it's still the No. 3 car," he said.
Asked if a hybrid version of the Corolla might be built in Blue Springs, Esmond said that while Toyota has committed to extending its hybrid lineup throughout its products, there's been no definite time frame for a Corolla hybrid.
The Toyota Matrix, which is built on the Corolla platform, will not be made in Blue Springs, said Toyota spokeswoman Barbara McDaniel. The Corolla and Matrix both were made at the NUMMI plant in California that Toyota co-owned with GM before it shut down in April. But both models also are made in Toyota's Canadian facility. The Matrix will be made there.
When Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi hits full production, 90 percent of the Corollas bought in the U.S. will be made there, Esmond said.

Nokia Lumia 1020 vs HTC One
Obviously, both smartphones take photo snapping seriously, but they are based on rather different concepts. The Lumia 1020 packs one monster sized 41-megapixel PureView camera sensor, that can produce huge full sized photos or sharing-friendly 5MP ones with superior quality, thanks to combining six pixels into a single better one. In contrast, the HTC One has a standard size sensor but instead of 8 or 13 MP resolution, it offers only 4-megapixels. This results in larger-than-average pixels, which HTC calls an "UltraPixel" camera.
Snapping photos is a key feature with these two, so it's wonderful that they boast a similar set of shooting modes and manual controls to adhere to enthusiasts. We absolutely like how the Lumia 1020's Nokia Pro Cam app follows a similar look and feel to a standard digital camera, since its rotating dial enables us to quickly adjust different settings. At the same time, the HTC One offers the same set of customizations, but it relies more on a typical menu style approach. When it comes to photo quality however, in each and every shooting situation, it's the Lumia 1020 that comes out as the clear victor – therefore, it's the choice we'd stick with. Not only are the Lumia 1020 shots sharper, offer more detail, and better color representation in conditions where light is plentiful, but it also excels more under low lighting too. Don't forget that using the Lumia 1020 you can get both high-quality 5MP photo and the full sized 38MP one which is suitable for post production or big prints, while with the HTC One you're stuck with 4MP photos. In addition, when shooting at 5MP resolution, the Lumia 1020 offers something unique - 3x zoom.
Moreover, it's also a clear winner for the Lumia 1020 in the 1080p high definition video recording quality department. To be frank, it's not even a close win for the fabled camera phone, as the Lumia 1020 handsomely puts the HTC One in its place.
Nokia Lumia 1020 Sample Video:
HTC One Sample Video:
Each of the respective music players have their appealing elements, so as a whole, we won't say that one is better than the other – since the base functions are all the same. However, we do take notice of the Modern UI employed with the Windows Phone music player, and the cool visualizer effect with the Sense music player. The Lumia 1020's speaker is loud and commanding, but the One's dual front-facing speakers with HTC BoomSound are even more prolific in tone and output!
Even though there's a slight size advantage to the HTC One's display, we don't find it any more beneficial over the Lumia 1020 when it comes to watching high-definition videos – especially when they move so swimmingly with their performances.
And finally, we can't forget about the built-in IR blaster on the HTC One, which combined with its integrated TV app (power by Peel), turns the handset into a universal remote of sort that offers an engaging and social TV experience. Clearly, it's a feature that's not available with the Lumia 1020.

Cameraphone vs. smartphone. One plus a Sony RX100 > L1020.
3. papss (unregistered)
Doug sure if you want to carry both around.. Hell lets just carry a feature phone and a laptop while we are at it..
8. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Back to my original post - cameraphone vs. smartphone. I have no problem carrying my RX100 with the carrying strap on my shoulder. Or, tucked into a cargo pocket of my pants. The One does quite nicely as a smartphone (which avoids a feature phone and a laptop...). Further, the RX100 Mark II has WiFi connectivity with the One, so pics taken with the RX100MII can be immediately shared.
13. papss (unregistered)
Back to my original post the 1020 does quite nice in the camera department too so no need to lug any camera around. You phone doesn't work as well as a laptop for grownup needs in the work place so why not use a laptop and feature phone? What I'm saying is that its no different either way so don't pretend it isnt
22. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Ummm. More like you have chosen the L1020 and I have gone with the One as my backup to the Note II. I might even consolidate around the One Max depending on what the Note III has to offer vs. the One Max. Camera-wise, I will stick with my RX100, thank you.
Your comment about using a smartphone as a substitute for a tablet or notebook strikes me as a bit disingenuous. But I am looking at the Surface Pro as a replacement for a tablet and notebook.

5. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
One additional item not covered in the camera discussion - burst mode. The One has it (keep pressing the shutter) and the L1020 doesn't. Burst mode can be the difference between a pic of friends with everyone having their eyes open vs. some caught mid-blink.
10. Karl.Hummer (Posts: 5; Member since: 17 Jul 2013)
It's called Nokia Smart Camera
15. papss (unregistered)
I was about to say that...obviously people have never used this phone if they say there's no burst mode. I used it on my l920 and I use it on my 1020

In camera department wins Nokia Lumia 1020, in everything else department wins HTC One. :)
11. Paradox (Posts: 124; Member since: 08 Aug 2012)
Stupid comment. How much will it cost to get an rx100 and a HTC one?
12. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Biased comment on your part. Nothing if you already own the RX100. As the article mentioned, the One costs $100 less than the L1020 on contract.
If you are starting out from zip, it comes down to whether you want a cameraphone or a smartphone. The L1020 does cameraphone better than the One. The One does smartphone better than the L1020. Nokia is effectively acknowledging that in their recent ads.
34. UrbanPhantom (Posts: 949; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
The Lumia 1020 is an excellent smartphone in addition to having a kick ass camera that nobody else can touch. The HTC One is only an option if you are determined to choose Android as your operating system. However, for non-geeks that don't mind WP8, and for people who like taking pictures, I think the L1020 is a better option...
35. marbovo (Posts: 658; Member since: 16 May 2013)
Wow, so 80% of smartphone users in the world are geek and I didn´t know that?!?!?!
17. LetsBeHonest (Posts: 1457; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
That wasn't very nice buddy
the point of smartphone is that we want all in one.
you cant simply refer Lumia 1020 as just a camera phone. Windows phone 8 is a smart phone OPERATING SYSTEM(everyone knows how good MS is at soft wear department) ,may be not yet reach to android's level still not far behind especially with Nokia's great support(map service,apps, games etc)
in smartphone camera department nokia wins hands down... Every one knows nokia is at their best when it comes to camera its a fact buddy , at least for now...
i am not saying HTC One is a bad phone especially when it have such an awesome Design,display,and new htc services (blinkfeed zoe etc) and of course android with its huge amount of apps, google map, and and its unique features etc
i also prefer HTC ONE over Lumia 1020 because i am not a camera centric person and prefer android over WP
so its up to personal preferences for those who are in more photography then go for Lumia 1020
for those who prefer a smartphone which is more close to a PC and a good camera go for HTC ONE

Doug, I'd like to see you run a few miles cross-country or in a city with hills and stairs and such with your camera strapped around your shoulder and phone in your pocket, or, as you said, both in a cargo pocket. I'd really like to see you try that with the lens out and flash popped up, just to make sure it's "photo-ready" as quickly as a smartphone camera would be (since you can press the camera button on most smartphones so-equipped to wake them up and launch the camera app simultaneously); you can leave the screen in its standard place, though it would be quite the test if it was popped out as well.
Personally, I'd rather have the Lumia 1020 for that test, as it's lighter than both, doesn't have any external moving parts, and if I put it in a shoulder- or chest-mounted holder, I could video the experience and have it turn out pretty well with the built-in OIS.
39. MistyFog (Posts: 3; Member since: 29 Jan 2013)
L1020 plus 5DMkIII >>>>> One plus RX100.
You should have picked a bigger brother for One. Totally pwned ROFLMAO.
2. ZettaiRyouiki (Posts: 39; Member since: 05 Aug 2013)
I think the camera section can be summarised with digits.
6. vandroid (Posts: 328; Member since: 04 Sep 2012)
You are a moron the camera on the 1020 isn't better than the one other than more detail with the zoom HTC proved that megapixels don't make a camera better
7. ZettaiRyouiki (Posts: 39; Member since: 05 Aug 2013)
I didnt mean more megapixels mean better photos. 5MP pureview shots are better than full resolution shots. The digit i was referring to is synonymous to the difference in amount of detail of photos taken between the 2 phones. HTC One has proved to be underwhelming in various reviews. 4MP simply isnt enough as well, especially if you want to do some photoshop work, there simply isnt enough pixels to play with. They should use an even bigger sensor and bump it to 8MP.
14. papss (unregistered)
Lol funniest comment in his thread.. The 1020 kills the one ( no offense because I love the one but the camera isn't all that great).
23. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
it's not funny anymore reminding moro$%s like you what PureView was invented for. Just crop images taken by 1020 or 808 and one...if you don't see the difference...the enermous difference in sharpness, details, etc, etc...well sir, you obviously should take care of your eyes immadiately.
Well..htc has just proved that one particular thing.
Nokia knows what to do with all this information..htc didn't know therefore they "invented" ultrapixel and tried to convince everyone that they were able to produce better camera module. How it ended, we all know.
16. LetsBeHonest (Posts: 1457; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
DESIGN :htc one is the best looking smartphone to date (my opinion)
DISPLAY:I'll go with htc because of 1080p and slcd3 (nokia not far behind though)
OPERATING SYSTEM: its a matter of personal preferences so i am choosing android over wp because its a high end device so there wont be any hiccups (lag will only be present in haters eyes) and huge amount of apps, ecosystem,open source nature etc
note saying WP is bad for high end devices, its absolutely an OS with high potential with unique interface,high fluidity even on dual core processors,and of course nokia with their high customer support and awesome offline navigation system etc
CAMERA:that's not a question isn't it?? I choose Nokia Lumia 1020
HTC's ultra pixel,was a little disappointing.

but i have seen android 4.1.x or 4.2.x lags. I have Asus Padfone 2 with S4 pro (quad core), 2GB RAM and 4.1.1 and it lags sometimes and on my phone there is almost stock android with very minimal customization from asus
24. sniper1087 (Posts: 508; Member since: 31 Dec 2011)
While other phones do, the HTC One doesnt, and this is all about the HTC One, and yes I have a lumia 1020 and things that people dont report are things that has been happening to a lot of owners, phone resets while on camera, you also get some horrible lag on the 1020 when you have a couple of apps and need to open the camera, had to do 2 soft resets becase the hotspot would ot connect. Other things are no full OS voice dictation, yes you can do it on texting, but not on whatsapp or viber, no video chat app, and you can say we have skype and that while true is not really optimized, it does not use your contact list to determine who has skype, you have to add them manually which is more cumbersome than having the app automatically add them just like tango does, prefer facetime still though, but tango is not going to support WP8, at least not for now. Also I use Gmail and it does not sync my sent mail past a couple of weeks, even though I set that to sync at anytime which is the highest they give you and yet it doesnt work.
21. sergiobr (Posts: 709; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
WHY compare a cameraphone vs a real phone ??? Lumia 1020 or the others loose against real cameras ! It´s just a camera with WP. Looking for better photos ? Buy a RX100 and put in your pocket and save your money !

29. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Yeah, because I'm going to spend $749.99 MSRP (http://store.sony.com/p/20.2-megapixel,-RX100/en/p/DSCRX100M2/B?XID=O:rx100%20ii:dg_di_msnsrch:b&adparam=sem73p1329036&k_id=3d0c4c85-9ebc-4e48-1256-00006cad0e0c) on a camera that doesn't have interchangeable lenses, no OIS, and still be without a smartphone? PASS! I'll save the money and get a Lumia 1020 instead and keep using my Canon DSLR for the rare times I still need it (which is when I'm deciding to go on a photo shoot, rather than being out and about, seeing something I want to photograph, whipping out my phone, doing the photo, putting phone back in pocket, and continuing on my way).
Not only that, an arguably camera does not make an instantly-better photographer or better results. I've seen folks with a full DSLR rig with external flashes, lenses by the dozen, tripods, etc., who, while prepared, didn't really know what they were doing, and were confused with the results they were getting, while the college student with a smartphone was getting results they wanted because they knew what they were doing with the settings and what they were doing with the camera. Just one example, of course, but applicable.
32. sergiobr (Posts: 709; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
Is up to you ! As a amateur, like you describe, you can spend your money wherever you want. And ... miss the right photo. Look at dpreview about 1020 and have better photos !

both is great phone
1. for my social apps, I preder lumi 1020. I loved integration socmed on lumia
2. for camera, there is no doubt lumia is the best
3. for office it hard to decide, but I probably chose lumia for its office 365.
4. for games, no doubt htc with android win
5. for apps collection clearly htc
6. for its email, I prefer lumia.
conclucion: I'll buy lumia 1020, for games and apps I'll buy a chinese android phone with quad core. its only $160.

I have the black HTC one, I got it cause of the main screen its not ur ordinary android phone. But I got my hands on the Lumia 1020 and its my main phone now. I thought about selling the HTC one but I use it to watch YouTube on my tv with it and to play chess on it under WiFi. Lumia 1020 is just a beast. If Bruce Lee was alive he would say windows phone just flows like water. Lol

This Site Is Not Biased Review.The Fact Nokia Lumia 1020 Is Clear Winner In This Battle When Come To Photography And Video Recording.
Benefit Of PureView If Compare To Ultrapixel ;
Nokia Camera
1.)World Class Supersensitive Lens ZEISS
2.)Larger Pixel Make Us Zoom As Far As Possible Without Pixeliate and Noise Noticed In The Pic,When We cropped it with detail.
3.)Excellent Video Recording With HACC Mic
4.)The World First Smartphone Introduce OIS in cameraphone technology
5.)Nokia Camera Pro Apps are more astonishing with great settings available if Compare To HTC One
6.)Xenon Flash Give Excellent Detail When We Capture Motion Subject
7.)The World First Camera Phone Introduce Low Light Capabilities Shooting Mode.
Weaknesses Of Ultrapixel:
1.)Low Pixel means suffer from noise and pixelliate when We Zoom or Crops The Image
2.)More Light enter the camera lens doesn't mean can capture excellent low light capabilities,Sometime more light enter the camera result the photo overexposed and over brightness of the photo.

Zimmerman and Christakis1 reported that early television exposure in children younger than 3 years was associated with deleterious effects on cognitive development, such as reading recognition at age 7 years. Their findings were based on a longitudinal study and supported the American Academy of Pediatrics' guidelines that parents should discourage television viewing for children younger than 2 years.2 Our previous survey on development and rearing of 18-month-old children (n = 1900) in 3 areas of Japan also suggested that children with frequent television viewing (>4 hours per day) would have delayed development of meaningful word speech, even with parental talking during television watching. Because of these findings, the Japan Pediatric Society proposed that children younger than 2 years of age should avoid frequent television viewing.3 To clarify the reason for the statistical association between delayed development in speaking and heavy television viewing, we conducted an observational study.
