So far tablets are just toys, being an Ipad or a Nexus 10, they still cannot replace my microsoft windows ultrabook, i need microsoft office to do homework and to do my daily tasks. I am waiting for a surface tablet running windows 8 pro, that would be the ultimate entertainment and work device, i believe that device could surpass apple and google.

I agree, I'm starting to like MS more and more since I just got Windows 8 for FREE through DreamSpark.

Google and Android will be fine for years to come because Android is an open OS and is adaptable.
Windows is not as open but there are always great devs working on ways to improve Windows phones.

Hmm. I get WP on my android. Just set it up last week. Not 8 mind you, but that will be released soon i suspect. But how can Windows phone beat android? If i really like this wp7 launcher i will still buy and android and just set it up again. That's the beauty.
Sure, it doesn't have all the cool Microsoft features like bing :) but i can control everything on my x box except games. Browse web, navigate dash board. Its great.
That's the thing about android. Even if Google doesn't have the best a software package included in the os,if millions of people use it, like hundreds of millions, this software tends to exist anyway.
There is a place for all is market but no one is taking down Google or android... Anytime soon at least

Who ever the anaylist says that Microsoft will come up on top only a few manufactuers HAVEN'T made a Windows phone yet from what i saw. SONY, MOTOROLA, & LG. U need more HARDWARE to make more apps in my opinion
46. dackoni (Posts: 2; Member since: 29 Nov 2012)
I think that Microsoft's reentry in the smartphone market ads to a pressure for which Google felt was negligible previously. It concerns the quality of apps. Before, Apple used to enjoy having a majority of quality apps, while a lot of the same apps on Android were usually a bit choppier, had less fancy animation and whatnot, and for a time this was acceptable for most of the Android users, since a lot of things Android offered were superior, well not anymore. Microsoft clearly aims for providing premium , or at least competitive user experience through encouraging and supporting native development. We already have Skype, which will surely provide the most premium experience on WP 8, followed by iOS and then leaving Android in being third. There lies the problem, soon I plan to buy an HTC One X+, which is surely a beast of a phone, and I imagine I will be quite happy with it, bit within a year, if some things don't change for the better on the Android front.. what's the point of having a fastest quad core 2Ghz Android phone with killer amount of RAM if it has the most sh*tty versions of Facebook, Skype, and a whole bunch of other popular apps. You know, being the close second in some areas is usually perfectly fine in this market, but being the last in 3rd place is a whole other thing.. this is a dangerous situation Android is facing, and is something I think Google definitely needs to address in the future 5th version of Android - with a 3rd player now in the mix, user experience in both 1st and 3rd party apps will be essential to staying relevant in the game.. well that's my opinion anyway.
48. dackoni (Posts: 2; Member since: 29 Nov 2012)
The worst thing is, Microsoft doesn't even need to have more apps on WP 8 vs Google Playstore - the key is that all they have to do is to provide better user experience on the most popular apps and services through their better implementation.. that will win MS quite a market share.

The only thing Apple is good that, is adding rows to iPhone withing years. I think in ten years iPhone become something like a gentlemen sausage... and Android, I have to admit, is superb in copying. The only company, who is offering something like a NEW os is Microsoft. And YES, It crushed Apple and Google, with all of its products. Surface, Windows, Windows Phone, IE, Office, Skype, Bing and everything else...

Perhaps you should re-read the story on "BIAS". I would have to agree with the analyst on this one :)
64. boosook (Posts: 1436; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
A Microsoft employee. What else could he say?
65. tashreef (Posts: 476; Member since: 24 Nov 2012)
If this is the case..then i am an analyst ,...because i had predicted it before some week ..that MS will crush both of them ......
66. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
?? how ....see i doubt any of them will crush the other as all 3 are big players
77. tashreef (Posts: 476; Member since: 24 Nov 2012)
it's just an assumption because only MS is capable of making a desktop kind of OS for Smartphones ...others are just limited to smartphones...what if you will get a desktop version of OS in your smartphone with a great hardware.... then who will be interested in Google android and Apple iOS....with the support of great hardware MS will be able to do this....
68. Airforce (Posts: 68; Member since: 24 Jul 2012)
Well i know that when Steve was in charge of APPLE...things went well..but i doubt Tim Cook has any intiative or vision...he his just trying to modify what Steve has done...and honestly am getting bored of the Shape of the iphone....the ios is OK..but if APPLE doesnt change their iPhone designs...i Bet Windows phone will crush apple...but never GOOGLE ANDROID

This is M$ money talking more than analyst speaking his mind. Only time will tell. It's all about clsoed system vs open system and let's see who wins in long run. M$ ahs been struggling now at 15% of web market share down from 25% earlier and a "manipulated 40%" once when they had deals with godaddy.
74. MC1123 (Posts: 1255; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
again...analyst dont know a thing...but he's right that google and especially apple should watch out to microsoft's tiger attempt! but i dont think all people will love the live tiles thing!! coz most people love putting wallpapers on homescreen! and just look at it! while WP only offers the lockscreen wall paper!

What the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation Can Learn From the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation
Zvi Bodie
Boston University - Department of Finance & Economics
May 1994
Harvard Business School Working Paper 94-070
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) can learn from the experience of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC). As was the case with FSLIC, the mismatch between the market-risk exposure of the corporate liabilities the PBGC insures and the assets backing them creates the potential for large shortfall losses. It is apparently a widespread belief among policy makers that a well-diversified pension portfolio of equity securities provides an effective long-run hedge against liabilities of defined-benefit pension plans, so that there is no mismatch problem. This belief is mistaken. When a pension plan sponsor invests the pension assets in equities, the actuarial present value cost to the PBGC of providing insurance against a shortfall increases rather than decreases with the length of the time horizon, even for plans that currently are fully funded.

An athletic director accused of planting drug contraband in the office of the Sandia High School basketball coach will be removed from his position.
Tom Knauber has 10 days to appeal the decision to move him from his athletic director and social studies teacher position at Sandia.
It has not been determined where within the Albuquerque Public School district he will be placed.
After a disciplinary hearing Thursday, the district said there was enough evidence to justify such a move, but APD declined to comment on what that evidence was.

Tony Garczynski has been removed as Gloucester Catholic's football coach after 13 seasons at his alma mater.
Gloucester Catholic athletic director Pat Murphy announced the move Wednesday morning.
"This was a difficult decision to make," Murphy said in a statement. "Coach Tony Garczynski is an alumnus who has worked tirelessly as a former player, assistant coach, and head coach.
"Coach Garczynski has conducted himself with integrity and with the good of Gloucester Catholic students in mind."
Garczynski said he had hoped to continue coaching the Rams for a couple of years.
"It's disappointing, but this is what happens when you start losing," Garczynski said. "They wanted to go in another direction, and that's that. Football coaches get fired every day."

Day 2 of previews and we look at the North Jersey 2 Sectional at Greystone Park in
Parsippany on Saturday. This meet was originally supposed to be run at Warinanco Park, but because the course is in bad condition after the hurricane, it has been moved to Greystone and will be run following the North 1 meet. Top 10 individuals and top five teams qualify for Groups on Nov. 17 at Holmdel Park.

3:20-Girls Group 1
RUNNERS TO WATCH: Brittany Gibson (McNair), Stherline Silencieux (Newark Tech), Melanie Egan (Verona), Jacqueline Bunce (Cedar Grove), Juliana Lee (Palisades Park)
Brittany Gibson is coming off a personal-best performance of 19:04.4 from Hudson County Championship at Bayonne Park. Stherline Silencieux is also coming off a PR of 19:18.9 during the Essex County Championship at Brookdale Park in Bloomfield. So the race will most likely come down to these two runners. Greystone is a little more difficult than those two courses and Gibson has shown she has run well on difficult courses such as Holmdel Park, running a 20:17 during Shore Coaches while Silencieux ran a 20:50 so I think Gibson will take first.
TEAMS TO WATCH: McNair Academic, Whippany Park, Secaucus, Belvidere, Newark Tech
Whippany Park has won this State Sectional the previous three years, but their reign appears to be over. McNair Academic just won the Hudson County Championship and have a solid top five led by Gibson. It appears McNair will win its first sectional title since 2008 this year. Whippany Park has a close pack but they're not as fast as years past.
RUNNERS TO WATCH: Clarissa Modde (Voorhees), Nisa Cicitta (Voorhees), Erin Seiffert (Voorhees), Laura Quintana (Bernards), Zoe Wojtech (Bernards), Gillian McIlroy (Summit)
For the first time since 2008 the individual winner will not be Dana Giordano of Bernards. The Voorhees duo of Clarissa Modde and Nisa Cicitta both ran 18:20 at Natirar Park in Peapack during the Skylands Conference Championship and will be a toss up between the two. Cicitta finished third last year so I'm sure she'll be hungry to take first, even if it's a two-way battle between her teammate. Quintana has put together an impressive senior season, running a PR of 18:39 at Pleasant Valley Park during the Somerset County Championship. She could potentially be a surprise but will most likely battle for third place with Seiffert, McIlroy, and her teammate Wojtech.
TEAMS TO WATCH: Voorhees, Bernards, Summit, Ridgefield, Governor Livingston
Voorhees is NJ.com's top-ranked team and No. 17 nationally, so it's clear they will win its third straight North Jersey 2 Group 2 Sectional title and its 7th straight sectional title overall.. The battle for second place should be really intriguing between Bernards and Summit. Summit has faster PR's than Bernards, but most of them came at the Six Flags meet, which is a notoriously fast course. It should be a close battle but Bernards should take second.
RUNNERS TO WATCH: Mackenzie Barry (Mendham), Abby Seel (Mendham), Reagan Kolakowski (Mendham), Lisa Grohn (Somerville), Christine O'Kane (Morristown)
This race features one of NJ's best with Mackenzie Barry, who has won this race the last two years. Barry had the previous course record at Greystone before it was broken by Sarah Disanza of High Point earlier this year. She ran 17:57 at Morris Counties, one second off her old course record, so it's not a question of whether she'll win, but if she'll PR and re-break her course record. Lisa Grohn, who has a pR of 18:31 at Pleasant Valley Park, may be the only one who could potentially break up a 1-2-3 Mendham finish.
TEAMS TO WATCH: Mendham, Morristown, Millburn, West Morris, Woodbridge, Somerville
Star-Ledger's No. 3 Mendham may arguably have the best top three runners in the state. They are coming off its first Morris County Championship in 19 years, and will look to take back the North 2 Group 3 title that Morristown took from them last year. The fight for the fifth spot will be very interesting in this one as well between Woodbridge and Somerville. Both are very even teams, but Woodbridge does not have someone like Somerville's Lisa Grohn who could place in the top five, which may be the difference between who qualifies for Groups.
RUNNERS TO WATCH: Marisa Ruskan (Bridgewater-Raritan), Eve Glasergreen (North Hunterdon), Kaitlyn Bedard (Hamilton Central), Sally Falk (North Hunterdon), Liz Newman (Ridge), Sarah Decker (Watchung Hills)
Group 4 is another race that features one of the best NJ runners in Marisa Ruskan. Ruskan
won this race last year in her first cross-country season and has placed first in all but one race this season. Eve Glasergreen has the next best PR with an 18:15 at Natirar Park, while the rest of the field is pretty open. Ruskan and Glasergreen should go 1-2, but after the battle for third could be anyone's.
TEAMS TO WATCH: North Hunterdon, Ridge, Bridgewater-Raritan, Watchung Hills, Phillipsburg
Group 4 features three Star-Ledger ranked teams with No. 10 North Hunterdon, No. 17 Ridge, and No. 20 Bridgewater-Raritan. North Hunterdon's duo of Glasergreen and Sally Falk should lead them to its first Sectional title since they were in Central Jersey in 1989. It won't come easy for them because Ridge seems to always run its best at Sectionals, winning the last four years. Ridge and North Hunterdon should be in a close battle but I think North Hunterdon comes out on top with Ridge in second.

For a long time, although largely unacknowledged, one of the most dangerous parts of a student's bus ride in many school districts was the bus loading area right on school grounds.
School site safety is not a new topic, which is a bit depressing. As an industry, we haven't made much progress in improving site safety. In my experience, supervisors — even good ones — sometimes turn a blind eye to glaring safety problems in bus loops. Why is this?
As transportation people, we tend to not see bus loops as our turf. We cede them to the school administrator. Who are we, mere support staff in a pecking order with the principal at the apex, to question how students behave in the bus loop area? Let alone to question whether teachers on bus duty are doing their jobs.
But this issue is too important to relinquish to others. My main goal in this article is to encourage you — and hopefully give you the confidence — to take on this issue in your own school district for the next school year.
If I accomplish only one thing, I hope it's that you'll take a new look at your bus loops and the student loading/unloading procedures in them. Better yet, find someone else to observe with you so you can compare notes. Or be totally bold and invite your insurance company to send a risk management expert out to spend a day with you.
At any rate, keep written notes on what you observe. I'll buy you a beer if you don't find a few safety problems in the bus loop that make your hair even grayer.
Here's my own "Top 10" list of dangerous situations I've seen in bus loops, in roughly descending order of importance:
1. Inadequate adult supervision of students in the bus loop. This is far and away my No. 1 concern about bus loading areas. The exceptions — schools where children walk calmly off their buses and into the building in the morning, and ditto from building to bus in the afternoon — are always the result of a principal and a teaching staff that really works at it. School staff are outside, attentive to children, taking their responsibilities seriously.
Unfortunately, these are exceptions. In too many cases, teachers or aides assigned to bus duty are inattentive, inadequate in number and uninformed about the serious nature of what they're doing. They don't understand that children can be and have been run over by buses right in front of school. I remember an incident in which two teachers were standing about 10 feet from a child whose foot was crushed by the outside dual rear wheel of a bus as it pulled out of the loop. They were talking to each other, oblivious to the child playing next to the bus.
No argument I know of can be made that it's not the principal's responsibility to make sure the bus loop is well supervised. This is why putting what you see in writing is key. Some principals fully accept this responsibility, but I've known some who seemed too busy or too important to be bothered with such a mundane issue.
2. Buses backing up in the loop. This happens way too much. Many government agencies recommend that buses never back on school grounds, but since it's "only a recommendation," it's seldom enforced. Children have been backed over by buses right on school grounds.
The solution to backing in the bus loop is two-fold: First, don't park buses so close together. Delays in the bus loop are inevitable. Children will forget something, have to go to the bathroom, get in a fight, etc. We shouldn't line up buses so a delay holds everyone else up, encouraging them to back up to get around the delayed bus.
{+PAGEBREAK+} But isn't "nose-to-tail" safer because it keeps kids from running between buses? If that's your theory, you're talking about different kids than the ones I see. Kids can and do dart between closely-parked buses. They'll slide under the bumper if necessary. It's stupid and it's scary, but nose-to-tail parking doesn't prevent it.
Furthermore, with some bus designs, nose-to-tail means you can't open the rear emergency exit. I've heard people say that's OK because "there are other emergency exits, and it's just for a short time." But bus fires do occur in bus loops.
Last year, a bus in a long line caught fire while waiting to load at a middle school. It was totaled, and we all said the same thing: "Thank God the kids hadn't boarded yet." Blocking the rear exit at any time is dumb and probably illegal.
3. Buses leaving the loop individually, not as a group. I believe in having one designated person, either a school or transportation official, responsible for checking that buses are clear, and then releasing them all as a unit. This is not rocket science, it costs nothing and it sets up a more orderly and safer egress of buses.
4. Buses tailgating each other as they leave the loop. Bus-bus accidents are an embarrassing little secret of our business, and most happen in the bus loop. Even in well-run districts, I see bus drivers leaving loops like it's the start of the Indy 500.
5. Walkers and busers released together. Bell times are the school district's "third rail" — touch it and you're burned. Staggering release times is much safer, yet asking teacher unions to move their day five minutes one way or the other is sometimes treated as though you're asking for a huge sacrifice.
6. Transportation not involved in bus loop design or redesign. Sometimes this is our own fault. We need to get involved in the process. Let the architect know your concerns for the bus loop — length, width, entrance and egress design. Talk of the need for a separate parent pick-up/drop-off area and for teacher and student parking lots to not conflict with bus traffic. Yes, budgets are tight, but it amazes me how infrequently architects acting on their own incorporate simple, inexpensive measures that would drastically improve safety in the new bus loop.
7. Unsecured buses rolling in the loop. Teaching drivers to secure their buses is critical. It should be the starting point of behind-the-wheel training programs. We've had incidents in which buses rolled into other buses and into drivers standing between two buses.
8. Students out of their seats as buses pull into school. Letting kids stand in the aisle while the bus comes to a stop is asking for an injury. Drivers blame the problem on the kids, but keeping kids in their seats is absolutely the driver's responsibility.
9. Boring signs. No sign will stop everyone, but I believe in big, colorful, bold "School buses only" signs posted at the entrance to the bus loop. Flashing lights during the morning and afternoon crunch periods are also nice.
10.Wheelchair lifts not stowed. This happens more than you'd like to think. I'm not aware of a fatality, but there have been close calls — the lowered lift plowing through signs, poles and parked cars. Training and retraining drivers to be alert as they prepare to leave school is essential.
Take the initiative
I hope you'll make your own list this year and take the initiative to address these important safety problems. No one wants to see a child hurt or killed on school grounds. This is an issue that cries out for transportation leadership.

MIDDLEBURG - Every team dreams of making it to the post-season. And for this year's Midd-West boys soccer, girls soccer and field hockey teams, that dream was a reality.
But before the first minute the district tournament was played, members of all three teams, along with boys cross country runner Alex Lieberman and golfers Adam Winey and Blake Zechman, made a strong showing in the Pennsylvania Heartland Athletic Conference.
This is evidenced no better than through the number of individual athletes who made the Heartland Conference all-star team in their sport.
For the boys soccer team, seniors Jake Keister, Austin Good and Colton Keister earned first-team honors across the field, as they were voted first-team forward, first-team midfielder and first-team defender respectively.
Jake Keister was a strong offensive threat for the Mustangs, and coach Chris Sauer said that Keister "scored many goals from his work and determination alone. No matter what, he always brought a high work rate and intensity to every game and practice."
Further back in the field was Austin Good, whom Sauer described as a "skilled and talanted midfielder."
Sauer explained that Good had strong field vision and was "very calm and confident with the ball at his feet."
At defender, Colton Keister was a leader of the team. Sauer said that not only did Keister always receive the most difficult defensive orders, but that he was a "strong, physical and very determined player."
If the boys soccer team made a strong showing in the Hearland Conference all-stars, the field hockey team wasn't far behind.
At midfield, Tricia Martin and Adrienne Gesselman both made the Heartland Conference second team. Martin moved from the position she had formerly started at as a sophomore, and Gesselman was a first year starter, but this didn't affect the impact both girls had on the team.
Coach Mandi Romig said that Gesselman "helped maintain offensive pressure on the right side," and that Martin demonstrated a "strong performance at a difficult position."
On the defensive end, Alexxa Dauberman won a second-team nod as defender, and Romig said she was very helpful in her ability to transition from the defense to the offense.
The Mustangs also had an all-star blocking the cage, as Mikayla Freed's six shutouts and 126 saves earned her a spot as second-team goalie.
Romig was very complimentary of Freed, saying that "(Mikayla) kept us in a lot of close games and gave us chances to win."
On the girls soccer team, seniors Allie Camp and Mikayla Beiler also made the all-star list.
Camp, whose 21 goals and eight assists helped her lead the team in points, earned the honor of making first-team forward.
Coach Russ Goodling said that Camp was "a very big contribution to our team." He also said that, in general, "if she didn't score, we didn't win."
But it wasn't just Camp who made this year's Mustangs stand out the the Heartland Conference - Mikayla Beiler also made a showing at second-team midfielder.
Goodling said the Beiler demonstrated strong leadership both on and off the field, and that she also aided the team in her ability to place the ball to Camp.
Rouding it out for the Mustangs, golfers Adam Winey and Blake Zechman earned first-team honors for their performance on the green, and harrier Alex Leiberman earned second-team honors for his strong running throughout the entire season.

Making it in IT: Digging into a Meaningful IT Career
An older-than-average prospective college student and IT certification candidate shows his maturity by asking for guidance on fields of study, and approaches to help him prepare to enter the workforce with style and panache. Ed Tittel does his level best to provide commensurate answers to some very good questions on finding a meaningful IT career with college and certification that will lead to a job following graduation.
Hello Ed,
My name is Luke. I am 30 years old and am interested in pursuing a career in the IT field. I am just now starting college, I have a high school diploma. I would like to pose a couple of important questions to you, if I may. I was wondering which path to take as far as which are the best fields in IT that will have jobs available. Is cloud computing and security the best way to go, because cloud computing represents the future of IT? What degree and certs do I need? I am interested in networking and security, so what certs and/or degree do I need and will there be job demand in that field in a few years after I graduate? Any insight or recommendations you can make would be greatly appreciated. BTW I am located in central Kentucky and will be attending either Sullivan University or University of Kentucky.
Thanks in advance,
Dear Luke:
Thanks for your email. Although you are a bit older than most entering college students, my experience has taught me that older students usually concentrate more on studying and less on partying while in college. Perhaps that's because they already have lives, and understand that they have to get into the workforce to start making money; or perhaps it's because they've got less time to repay their student loans! Your questions are obviously motivated by a desire to join the workforce, and to make sure that you have good options for finding work when you get your degree(s) and IT certification(s) under your belt.
With interests in networking and security, you have lots of programs from which to choose, both at Sullivan University or the University of Kentucky (UofK). At UofK, you have to look into the College of Engineering to find the computer science department, but they also have what looks like a very good IT program in their College of Communication and Information (which, as is often the case, looks like an offshoot of their Library Science programs). By targeting cloud-based computing and security, in fact, I believe you will be very well positioned to pursue your interests at UofK, because that school is also a Microsoft IT Academy, and you will be able to study up for the MCSE: Private Cloud in addition to whatever degree you decide to pursue. This could prove a potent combination when it comes time to start looking for a job. The College of Engineering Co-op program is also worth looking into, because it integrates 12 months of real work experience into progress toward your computer science degree.
As for Sullivan University, their Sullivan College of Technology and Design is also a Microsoft IT Academy, and they've got programs in both Computer Network Administration and Computer network Security/Forensics, either of which could lead you in directions it sounds like you'd be interested in following. I don't see anything about a co-op or internship program there, so you'll want to ask about that, to see how it compares to what UofK has to offer.
It looks like you've got some excellent options from which to choose. My advice would be to schedule visits with both schools, and to meet with computer science or technical programs staffs to find out about the following:
- Overall program duration and hours required
- How work-study operates at the institution
- Kinds and amounts of financial aid available, including scholarships, grants, loans, and so forth
- Overall costs likely to be incurred while earning a degree and one or more certifications
That will give you a good basis for comparison, and let you choose the institution you'd like to attend. I don't think you can make a bad decision either, so you'll probably want to choose the option that results in the lowest debt upon graduation, unless you decide you prefer one school over the other, debt notwithstanding.
Good luck in planning your education, and pursuing your dream. Best wishes, too.

Okay everyone, prepare to hop in the car and head to Toys R Us. There are two things that will be in-stock at midnight that a lot of kids, and people who are young at heart, will want. Toys R Us will have the three newest Skylanders SWAP Force figures and Xbox Ones. The season could be a whole lot brighter if you get there at 12:01am and grab these exclusive items.
There are three new Skylanders SWAP Force figures at Toys R Us in the latest rollout. People will be able to grab Dune Bug, Hyper Beam Prism Break, and a standard Smolderdash. Dune Bug is the only one people should really be concerned with, however. A Lightcore Smolderdash has been available since Skylanders SWAP Force debuted back in October 2013, and Prism Break has been around since the original Skylanders: Spyro's Adventures. So don't worry about grabbing those. Shoot for Dune Bug.
If you want an Xbox One, don't worry about really rushing to grab one. Yes, they'll probably be in limited supply in Toys R Us stores, but it's not like Xbox Ones are PS4 rare. Xbox One has Xbox Ones online, and GameStop has them this weekend as well.
It's actually the Skylanders SWAP Force figures that will probably be the hot ticket items during this midnight rush. People are crazy for those collectibe figures, and they're going to want those new ones for the holidays.

Insuring the future of mobility The insurance industry's role in the evolving transportation ecosystem
If people stop driving, what will auto insurers, well, insure? The rise of ridesharing and autonomous cars—as part of the new mobility ecosystem—means that the insurance industry should reconsider its time-honored business model. While some revenue streams will likely dry up, new ones will begin flowing.

Romney, who is trailing fellow GOP hopeful Rick Santorum here in recent polls, will hold a town hall meeting this morning in Shelby Township.
The event is scheduled for 11:10 a.m. at Eagle Manufacturing Corporation, 52113 Shelby Parkway.
Romney spoke last week in Farmington Hills, where Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder formally endorsed his presidential bid.
And as he returns to Metro Detroit, Romney is touting a new round of endorsements from the likes of Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard, former state Sen. Alan Sanborn of Macomb County and former state Rep. Bill Runco of Wayne County.
"In order to change business as usual in Washington, we need someone from outside Washington as president," Bouchard said in a statement distributed by the campaign.
"Mitt Romney spent his life outside Washington, working in the private sector, growing companies and utilizing conservative principles in the real world. This is the leadership that we need at this critical moment, both for Michigan and the country."
Romney also is scheduled to address the Detroit Economic Club on Friday at Ford Field ahead of Michigan's primary, which will take place one week from today on February 28.

THE Spark cash index, which measures the average value of cash withdrawals across more than 2,000 ATMs in South Africa, fell 9.18% to R440.53 in January compared with December 2012.
Spark ATM Systems MD Marc Sternberg said on Thursday the decline indicated consumers had significantly reduced spending during the month, following an increase in cash withdrawals to a record R485.07 in December.
He said the steep drop in the withdrawal values during January was a recurring trend.
"Historically, following a surge in spending over the festive season, January is the month when consumers often adopt a more conservative spending approach, especially with mandatory expenses on the horizon such as school fees and related costs," he said.
"In addition, there is also the fact that many workers get paid early in December and are often faced with a 'long' month before they get paid again in January, during which they have to curb their spending activity."
Mr Sternberg said the average monthly cash withdrawal figures would regain positive momentum in late March.
"This is due to the Easter holiday period occurring earlier this year, which is historically synonymous with increased retail activity nationwide," he said.
The index revealed a significant year-on-year growth of 5.43% for January.
IHS Global Insights principal economist Ronel Oberholzer said this was a positive sign.
"Comparing with last year's levels (2.65% year-on-year growth recorded in January 2012), consumers are currently in a better situation. However, I suspect that we will soon see a slowing in the rate of increase," she said.
Mr Sternberg said although consumers would remain cautious, the current stable interest rate environment would foster consumer spending and local retailers could still enjoy a positive trading environment this year.

UNFCCC Releases Workshop Summary on Ecosystems with High-carbon Reservoirs
1 April 2014: The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Secretariat has published a report of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) workshop on technical and scientific aspects of ecosystems with high-carbon reservoirs not covered by other agenda items under the Convention, held on 24–25 October 2013, in Bonn, Germany.
The report presents information provided by scientific experts, government representatives, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and international and regional research programmes and organizations on such aspects, including coastal marine ecosystems, in the context of wider mitigation and adaptation efforts. The report summarizes the presentations and discussions, which include: an overview of the global context; current scientific and technical knowledge of high-carbon content ecosystems, such as coastal ecosystems, terrestrial ecosystems, and methodological aspects, monitoring and modeling in high-carbon ecosystems; management of ecosystems in the mitigation and adaptation context; and challenges and opportunities regarding research needs.
The panel discussion also identified possible roles and next steps for SBSTA, including: continuing to use the research dialogue as a platform for providing up-to-date scientific information and for communicating research needs, including through further workshops; encouraging enhanced research regarding high-carbon ecosystems, particularly in developing countries; promoting and enhancing further collaboration, cooperation and networking among research institutions; linking science and policy communities, including through the Nairobi work programme on impacts, vulnerability and adaptation to climate change (NWP), and bringing together key actors to enhance further knowledge on mitigation and adaptation; acknowledging IPCC methodological developments on high-carbon ecosystems and considering recommendations to the IPCC for further work; guiding further work on high-carbon ecosystems and providing guidance on methodology use, such as encouraging the development of common terminology, data sharing and knowledge platforms. [UNFCCC Workshop Report]

Lunges are a training staple for a reason -- they target just about every muscle in your lower body. Do the standard forward lunge by stepping forward with one leg and then bending your front knee until your thigh is parallel to the floor and the back knee nearly touches the ground. You can also perform a lunge with a narrow or wide stance, at an angle, to the back or to the side to slightly alter the muscle emphasis.
If you step forward a short distance -- 2 to 3 feet -- the primary muscles emphasized during the lunge are the quadriceps, a set of four muscles at the front of the thighs. The glutes and the adductor magnus, one of several muscles of the inner thigh, assists in all variations of the short lunge, while the hamstrings at the back of the thighs act as stabilizers. Side lunges, in which you step to the right or left and bend the knee into a lunge, use all seven of the adductor muscles to assist the quadriceps.
The gluteus maximus, the largest muscle of the buttocks, becomes the primary muscle targeted in long lunges -- when you lunge forward, back or to the side more than about 3 feet. The quadriceps act as an assisting muscle group during the long lunge. The glute complex also includes the gluteus minimus and the gluteus medius, the smaller buttocks muscles that stabilize the pelvis and prevent your knees from flaring out during the lunge.
The calf consists of two muscles: the larger, meaty gastrocnemius and the smaller, flat soleus. All versions of the lunge use these muscles to assist you in stepping forward to lunge and in pushing back to the starting position. The tibialis anterior, a muscle at the front of your lower leg near your shin, also stabilizes your legs during the lunge.
Try These Exercises!
To maintain an upright position as you step forward, several muscles of your core activate during the lunge. The obliques at the sides of your waist and the quadratus lumborum in your lower back stabilize your torso during the forward and rear lunge. During the side lunge and rear lunge variations, the erector spinae -- a complex of muscles along the spine -- performs trunk stabilization.
When you perform the lunge holding dumbells alongside your thighs, you activate certain muscles in your back. Holding the weights requires stabilization from the upper and lower portions of the trapezius muscle, behind the shoulders and middle ribs. The levator scapulae, alongside your neck, also support the weight of the dumbbells.

Gold & Silver Bullion: Insurance, Not Investment
|Email Print
A lot of newspapers and magazines have been celebrating the rising value of gold and silver over the last few years, citing as a reason why investing in gold might be a good idea. A lot of other newspapers and magazines are noting that gold may be overpriced and that a gold bubble has formed. Regardless of who is right, I think it illustrates a fundamental problem we all face every single day.
On a recent vacation to Miami, I was amazed at the number of luxury cars cruising along the highway. You usually see Maseratis and Aston Martins parked outside clubs or hotels, where the valet can keep a very close eye on them, but you don't usually see them rolling along in rush hour traffic. Most of us would never spend that kind of money on a car and can't understand why someone else would spend that kind of money on a car. The problem is that you see it as a car, the driver sees it as something else. Maybe it's a status symbol to support an image he or she is presenting.
Maybe they're an agent and it's important, to their business, for them to appear successful and influential. A hundred grand on a car to secure a deal worth a few million is a small price to pay. A hundred grand on something to get you to the supermarket is way too much.
The same is true for gold. Gold has traditionally been seen as insurance. If the dollar were to lose all of its value, you could take your bars of gold to another country and trade them for the local currency. If you've heard of it referred to as a "store of value," that's what that means. Gold holds its value because it remains stable against other currencies, even if your currency is plummeting to zero. When you buy gold, you should think of it as insurance, not as an investment.
The problem is that this type of insurance, unlike auto or homeowners, is finite. As demand increases because people are worried of a default, the price increases. This attracts speculators who see an opportunity. This is true for any commodity, whether it's corn, oil, or gold. There are people who buy it because they need it and there are people who buy it because they hope it'll be worth more tomorrow.
We're in the period where gold's price has been boosted by speculators, I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say that. If you're buying it because you want an investment, I'd move on. If you're buying it because you recognize it's insurance against catastrophe, then $1300+ an ounce is simply the price you have to pay. If there is a catastrophe, you have something with value that you can take with you. If there isn't, you're happy because you've retained the rest of your wealth.
Is it any different than car insurance? No one wants to be in an accident. 🙂
I'm eager to hear your thoughts on this…please add your thoughts now! }

you must squat.
Hi everyone! I'm a senior in high school in Illinois and I have been going Primal for about two months.
Last summer, I decided that I wanted to get stronger because I was sick of looking like a toothpick. So I ended up going with the MAX Workouts program developed by Shin Ohtake (which happens to emphasize the same principles as PB minus the low level cardio). In the diet book that came along with it, he briefly explained how grains and legumes should be eliminated from your diet. That really surprised me so I ended up going some research on Google and stumbled upon MDA's article on grains. I loved the article so much that I explored a bunch of other articles for the next couple of hours. And that's when I decided to go primal.
I've gotta say, it was probably one of the best decisions of my life. I've had much better sleep, higher energy levels, and a decreased appetite. In the past, I always had changing moods so being able to stabilize that with just nutrition was awesome. Although I followed PB, I didn't quite follow PBF until just last week. I had been following the MAX Workouts program for the first month and a half while simultaneously eating primal and then I had a rut for a couple of weeks where I was sick (probably because I didn't take vitamin supplements) and during recovery started mixing in a bit of junk food with my primal diet.
Last week, I pulled myself together and this time, I decided to try out PBF. The MAX Workouts program was great and all, but it was much too exhausting. It involved three high-intensity strength workouts a week and two high-intensity cardio workouts (both of which were restricted to about 20 to 30 minutes) every week. As much as I love free weights, I would be unable to do exercises not because I had no strength left, but because my hands could no longer hold the dumbbell.
When I tried out PBF last week, I felt great! Because I could do as many reps as I wanted until muscle failure and not hand pain, I challenged myself pretty well. I always aim to go 10-15 above whatever I set as a goal if I still have strength remaining. Moreover, I don't feel completely exhausted after workouts, yet I always have a layer of sweat covering my body at the end of each one. It certainly feels like the right way to exercise you body, but I have a couple questions.
1.) The old workout program I used to follow emphasized using exercises that would in combination train all sets of muscle groups in the body, does PBF do the same? I can't really tell because none of my muscle groups are very sore after workouts like they used to be.
2.) I have not done the pull ups because I don't have a pull up bar, but I purchased some dumbbells so I can do substitute exercises. What kind of exercises should I do in place of pull ups and how many reps?
3.) Because I'm a tennis player, my right arm is noticeably larger than my left arm. Are there any additional exercises I can do to strengthen only my left arm?
I also have a couple questions about my diet. Since I started eating primal, I haven't taken any vitamin supplements. So my question is:
4.) Do I really need the amount of vitamins corresponding to a serving size of the Damage Control Formula? And is it possible to "overdose" on vitamins?
Thanks for the help!
you must squat.
Welcome Rahulmutt! Congrats on moving to the PBF approach. Adding rest days should help a lot compared to what you were doing.
1) If you're only a little sore the day after a workout, that is still good. If you're not sore at all, you probably need some more weight (or to progress on the PBF scale). Whatever else you do, nothing beats squats and deadlifts.
2) I know of no substitute for pullups. I highly recommend getting a pullup bar, the kind you can mount in a doorway or the kind that sits on a frame. Tree limbs are good if you can find one at the right height.
3) I have this problem too. If you lift very heavy, at the edge of your ability, your left side will be the weak link. It will get more work than your right and should even out over time.
4) It is much better to get your vitamins from actual food; they are absorbed better than supplements. On a diet of grass-fed beef, beef liver, a wide array of fresh veggies, and occasional seafood like sardines or salmon, you don't need supplements IMO. But Damage Control is a great supplement when you can't get high-quality balanced meals. I don't think you can OD on Damage Control when taking the recommended dose, but you will pee neon.

How much starch are you okay with? Potatoes, rice, seasonal squashes, and green plantains are very budget friendly in my area. There are a million ways to prepare them so nobody gets bored. For best satiety I eat an amount roughly equal in size of the meat and never outside of meals.
For beef: grass-finishing is lovely but not as crucial as hormone/antibiotic-free. In some areas the best supplier may not be certified organic (you could google the individual brands and make a judgment call). Buy things with two uses, e.g. fatty ground beef where you save the drip and saute green cabbage later, or less popular bone-in cuts and save the bones for soup. The "complementary protein" of bone stock is no joke--it's way more filling than its calories would suggest.
Pork: I adore shoulders and rumps but quality is important so I don't buy it as often. I buy quality bacon often enough to keep some saved fat in stock.
Eggs: Pretty important IMO. The best eggs are true foraging birds (NOT vegetarian). Opinions are split on the flax meal used in o-3 eggs but I consider it a good signifier that at least it's not a useless battery egg so I dig them.
I don't buy any organic plants unless they're significantly fresher/nicer looking. I depend on a lot of conventional bananas, carrots, and onions. Rinsing leaves, stalks, and berries is probably wise.
I actually find nuts/seeds not very filling and expensive so I use them for garnish only. As a fat source I'd place them a notch below animal fat and oily fruits and would rather snack on something like raw veggies dipped in sour cream or guacamole, but if the kids love them have at it.

"I started screaming and yelling in the movie theater," she said. "I love seeing myself up on the big screen, and my name up there."
A fifth-grader at Brookwood Forest Elementary School, Julia makes her movie debut in the starstudded romantic comedy "Valentine's Day," which opened Friday.
Along with her mother, Lauren Damrich, and big brother, Russell Springer, Julia went to the first showing of "Valentine's Day" Friday morning at the Rave Motion Pictures theater in Vestavia Hills. Then they came home and played in the snow.
Julia, who has one scene in the picture, appears as the daughter of the philandering heart surgeon played by Patrick Dempsey. She asks him if he's fixed any broken hearts.
Getting to work with Dempsey, the Hollywood hunk who also stars as Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," was way cool, Julia said.
"It was very exciting, and he was very cute, and he was fun, and he kissed me on my head 36 times," she said. "I counted."
Directed by Garry Marshall, "Valentine's Day" also stars Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Queen Latifah, Jamie Foxx and Ashton Kutcher, among several others.
The critics have not been kind, but Julia thought it was super.
"I loved it," she said. "It was a great movie, and it was funny and sad at the same time."
Although "Valentine's Day" is Julia's first film, she appeared last fall in an episode of ABC's "Cougar Town," which stars Birmingham's Courteney Cox, and in a video for the Kenny Loggins song "There Is a Mountain."
Julia, whose father is Birmingham attorney Stewart Springer, took up acting about a year and a half ago, after her mother sent her to the Cathi Larsen Agency, a Birmingham modeling and talent agency, to help her overcome a severe case of shyness.
Within a few weeks, Julia was doing a stand-up comedy routine that included impersonations of George W. Bush and Sarah Palin, her mother said.
"It was a great experience for her," Damrich said. "Now she is completely out of her shell and is not lacking in any self-confidence anymore."
Agents and managers saw Julia perform at a talent expo in Dallas about a year and half ago, her mother said, and she began auditioning for TV and movie roles soon after.
Marshall, who also directed "Pretty Woman" and "The Princess Diaries," cast her in "Valentine's Day" last summer.
At the end of Julia's shoot, Marshall gave her a dollar bill, which he typically does for actors with whom he enjoys working, Damrich said.
"He handed Julia the dollar bill and she goes, 'Oh, good, can I go get some bubble gum with this?' " Damrich recalled. "I was like, 'No, no, no, we have to keep this.' " Next week, Julia and her mother go back to Los Angeles for more auditions.
Her brother, a seventh-grader at Mountain Brook Junior High School, is going, too.
Casting agents saw Russell on an earlier trip to LA with his sister, and they think he could be an actor, too, his mother said.
"They kept bugging us every time we would walk in to do stuff with Julia," Damrich said. "He finally said, 'Oh, OK, I'll do it.' "

Comedy 'Go On' from 'Friends' EP Silveri
Matthew Perry has been cast in the lead of the NBC comedy pilot "Go On."
He'll reunite with "Friends" executive producer Scott Silveri, who wrote the pilot and will executive produce with Karey Burke and Todd Holland, who will direct the pilot.
From Universal Television, "Go" is a single-camera comedy series centering on an irreverent yet charming sportscaster (Perry) who tries to move on from loss, and reluctantly finds surprising solace from the members of his mandatory group therapy sessions. Julie White and Suzy Nakamura will co-star.

• We studied seven subjects with certain manifestations of cobalt-induced lung disease. All worked with cobalt and were involved in either the production or use of hard metal. The mode of presentation varied from an acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis that cleared completely when exposure ceased to progressive severe interstitial fibrosis of the lungs. In one subject reexposure was followed by a recurrence of the symptoms. All subjects showed restrictive ventilatory impairment and a reduction of their diffusing capacity. The radiologic appearances varied greatly. While two subjects had clear roentgenograms with small lung volumes, others had a micronodular pattern or small blotchy nodular infiltrates, and one had diffuse reticulonodulation as is seen in cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis. The pathologic appearances varied between desquamative interstitial pneumonia and overt mural fibrosis of the alveoli. Six of the seven patients had multinucleated giant cells in their biopsy specimens or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

Antique Hammer Hatchet Tomahawk
Osage Orange Wood:
A heavy, close-grained yellow-orange wood is very dense and is prized for tool handles, tree nails, fence posts, electrical insulators, and other applications requiring a strong dimensionally stable wood that withstands rot. Straight-grained osage timber (most is knotty and twisted) makes very good bows. In Missouri and Arkansas, during the early 19th century, a good Osage bow was worth a horse and a blanket.
Custom HAND Made New Wooden Handle
Measures about 14.5″ long
Hatchet Head measures about 6.5″ x 2″ x 1.25″ thick at the hammer side

Fire Forces Mom To Drop Small Children From 2nd Story Window. Could You Do It?Monica Bielanko
I live in an old farmhouse built in 1901. One of my biggest fears is my 2-year-old daughter falling from one of our second story windows.
It's a long way down.
But as fire raged in her Portland apartment one Maine mother had to make the split-second decision to drop her three children from a second-story window to neighbors waiting below.
26-year-old Chasity Holtan was home with her three young children and two nieces when the fire broke out around two in the afternoon on June 29th. Smoke poured into the halls and 13 apartments in the three-story building.
Several neighbors called the fire department and started helping tenants get out of the building. With no way to escape, Chasity was forced to make the terrifying decision to drop her children out the window. After all the children were safely on the ground, Holtan then crawled out of the window and hung by her arms from the sill, waiting for firefighters to arrive.
"I was hanging there a good 10 or 12 minutes before firefighters got me," Holtan tells the Portland Press while still shaking, her skin and clothes blackened by smoke.
Other children on the first floor were also lowered to safety.
"I was getting dressed when I heard a woman scream for help," Harley Jones recalled, standing shirtless on the sidewalk. "I looked out the window and saw a couple people lower a toddler to safety from a first-floor window. I called the fire department and then I ran outside to help."
Firefighters arrived soon after and were able to rescue a handicapped woman from the third floor by carrying her down a ladder. Smoke and water have left the building uninhabitable, leaving 33 people homeless. The American Red Cross is helping find them a place to stay until permanent arrangements are worked out. Unbelievably, no injuries are reported. Amazing, considering what could have happened.
The cause of the fire is still being investigated.
Could you drop your small children from a second-story window into the arms of neighbors? Of course, you could if you had to but can you imagine that moment of looking into your baby's eyes before letting go? What awesome teamwork from neighbors! Love a story with a happy ending!

Rainbow Pancakes with YOPLAIT TRIXBrooke McLay
There's a classic story we tell around the breakfast table. It started one Sunday afternoon as I was frantically pouring children into church clothes and tossing warm pancakes onto a plate for the bellies of my little people. In the middle of all of the morning hubbub, I handed Andrew, my 5-year-old son, a bottle of syrup and asked him to put it in the microwave for 50 seconds.
Dresses pulled over tights, shoes on, hurry-hurry came the call for everyone to join us at the table. We sat down breathed in for two seconds, then held hands for family prayer. And in that very moment, a bang-pop like a gunshot went off. BANG! I screamed and hovered instinctively over my 3-year-old. The kids started panicking. In the aftermath of the sound, we took a quick assessment. We were all still there, untouched by harm, but microwave door had been blown open and sticky syrup dots covered our arms, walls, and the ceiling.
In his willingness to help, my tot had placed the syrup in the microwave for 50 MINUTES. And I had forgotten it was there. Twelve minutes into the cook cycle, the syrup container exploded, leaving us drops of syrup for everything in our house but our plates. We pulled out wet rags, topped the pancakes with our favorite, sweet-and-colorful YOPLAIT TRIX yogurt, and decided to make rainbows out of the morning. Which, as it turns out, was a rather tasty way to do breakfast on a Sunday morning.
YOPLAIT TRIX Rainbow Pancakes
Add a bit of flavor, protein, and lots of fun color to your regular morning pancakes with this easy twist on traditional maple-syrup topped pancakes.
