With all the king's horses and all the king's men, President Obama has not been able to put it back together again. With the stimulus money and all the tools in his reach, the country is mired in a huge debt, a high unemployment rate and an economy on the brink of a depression, seemingly without an end in sight. He even doesn't have help from Congress after the super committee threw in the towel.
When a youngster does something wrong, we of later years understand because we might have made the mistake ourselves. The young person usually gets straightened out and becomes a productive citizen. But I'm not speaking about a mistake; I'm talking about self-destruction. Big difference.
From 2001 to 2008, the Republican Party – under the leadership of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney – destroyed the country.
Starting a war in a sovereign nation on borrowed money and cleaning out the Treasury just about did us in, while leaving a budget for the incoming president with a trillion-dollar deficit – not to mention all the deaths and injuries of our men and women in uniform and the Iraqi civilians who had nothing to do with Saddam Hussein. Couldn't get much worse.
Someday when historians look back and try to determine when America started down the road to become a Third World country, they will certainly look long and hard at those years. Hopefully I'm wrong as I have been wrong before.

GOLDEN " Hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling techniques are used in 90 percent of wells in the United States, and precautions are in place to ensure that groundwater is unharmed by growing production, speakers at a federal forum said Monday.
The forum, which included speakers from the Bureau of Land Management, state regulators and the oil and gas industry, drew about 300 to the Denver West Marriott in Golden. It was the third in a series of BLM-hosted hearings nationwide about fracturing, or fracking, and energy production on public lands.
The BLM is contemplating new federal regulations, though the Environmental Protection Agency has found no evidence of water-quality degradation from fracking, said Dave Cesark of Mesa Energy. The EPA is conducting another study into fracking to be completed next year.
Dave Neslin, director of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, which regulates the industry on private lands, said Colorado ranks fifth in the nation for gas production and 10th in oil. He said most of Colorado's 44,000 active wells " 37 percent of which are in Weld County " rely on fracking to create permeability in the rock and open pathways for oil and gas to reach the surface.
"This technology is absolutely vital to unlocking Colorado's rich oil and gas reserves," he said.
Speakers detailed the many layers of governmental precautions required in the drilling of fracking wells. Chief among them are the cement casing that creates a hydraulic seal within the space between the well bore wall and the resource pipe and verifying the integrity of those seals.
Rich Ward, a geologist with the Aspen Science Center, said there are seven layers of steel piping and cement that isolate the well from contact with subsurfaces, including water tables.
"Well integrity is the absolute key in this whole process," he said.
That said, he noted it's possible for a casing to be flawed but that if proper pressure checks are done, any such flaws can be quickly repaired.
One in 10 wells drilled in Colorado is on BLM lands, mainly on the Western Slope.
Neslin said the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission's regulations are similar to the BLM's.
He said the COGCC has investigated hundreds of complaints about contamination related to fracking "and to date we've not found any instances of groundwater contamination."
He said the agency is going beyond regulations with participation in a new website " www.fracfocus.org " where oil and gas producers voluntarily report the chemicals used in fracking. Thirty-five operators have so far registered to participate, including large operators such as Halliburton.
Cesark said, in general, 99.5 percent of fracking materials are sand and water. The other 0.5 percent of materials used, he said, are chemicals commonly found in households, such as acids, antibacterial agents, corrosion inhibitors, lubricants and gels.
He said there is typically a mile to two miles of separation between an aquifer and shale formations where fracking takes place. Between those layers is impermeable rock.
"The risk of fracking fluid coming in contact with an aquifer is extremely remote and there really are a great many precautions that take place to prevent it," Cesark said.
Cathy Purves, of Trout Unlimited, said wastewater management needs stricter oversight and that the public should be fully involved.
Michelle Haefele, an economist with The Wilderness Society, said regulatory agencies in charge of monitoring fracking are understaffed and need more resources. She said the BLM should pursue rules for full public disclosure of chemicals used in fracking, noting a recent federal study that found some carcinogens in fluids.
"If these fluids are so safe, then the industry shouldn't have a problem disclosing them to us," Haefele said.

With minicamps opening around the NFC East this week, teams are getting a chance to see all of their players on the field together. For the Dallas Cowboys, the position of greatest interest is likely their overhauled cornerback corps. So ESPNDallas.com is taking a look at pretty much everyone in that mix.
Tim MacMahon writes on Brandon Carr as a lunch-pail guy who's had to work his tail off for everything he's ever achieved. Herman Edwards, a former coach of Carr's, tells Tim that he's "not the stock market. He's not going to be up and down. He's one guy you don't have to worry about."
Calvin Watkins writes on Mike Jenkins, who wants out of Dallas but will report to mandatory minicamp this week and, apparently, learn how to play the slot corner position.
And Calvin also writes of the difficulty of making an impact at cornerback as a rookie, and the Cowboys' need for Morris Claiborne to do just that if they're going to have success.
The Cowboys' ideal situation appears to be that Carr and Claiborne are the Week 1 starters with Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick splitting time as the slot corner. But they have the ability to hedge. If Claiborne is slow coming back from his wrist injury, or slow to adjust to the speed of the pro game, they can start Jenkins and Carr on the outside while Claiborne gets ready. And if that happens, they can use Jenkins in the slot in practice while getting Claiborne the reps he needs to get on the outside. It's an imperfect comparison, obviously, but remember that Eagles 2011 first-round pick Danny Watkins didn't start at guard Week 1 last year but was the starter by the second half.
Personally, I think Claiborne will be fine. I'd expect growing pains, but nothing that isn't overcome by the immediate impact his raw talent will bring. The point, though, is that the Cowboys want and need to be deep at this position that cost them so much last year. With minicamp opening, we may start to get some sense of their plans. Claiborne won't be on the field this week, but he'll be there learning the defense with the rest of the guys. And we'll get a chance to find out just how much of a stink Jenkins plans to make about his contract status and reduced role. I'm still not sold on the idea that the revamped secondary will help the pass rush be better, and I think they should have addressed some issues up front. But assuming Claiborne does make it back on schedule and Jenkins shows up and plays, the Cowboys' plans to attack their biggest problem with depth appears to be on track.

Evangeline: Jossy Do It springs upset in Hallowed Dreams
Breaking alertly under Eddie Martin, Jr., Jossy Do It controlled the pace throughout and coasted home 5 3/4 lengths in front in Saturday night's $50,000 Hallowed Dreams Stakes at Evangeline Downs.
Ada Mae outfinished 5-2 favorite My Lady Lauren for second. The final time of the 5 1/2-furlong dash was 1:03.92 over a fast track.
Trained and owned by David Wolochuk, Jossy Do It ($25.80) was dismissed as the longest shot in the field of 3-year-old fillies despite a solid record that included a win in allowance company at Sam Houston Park in her most recent start and a 2-3-1 record from 9 previous starts at seven different tracks. A Florida-bred daughter of Proud Accolade, Jossy Do It added $30,000 to her bankroll and has now earned more than $78,000.
Great job Eddie, hope you have time to come to lone star
Congrats Eddie

Jeffrey Cole says Facebook's only got five years left
- From: Australian IT
- November 17, 2010
- Web expert talks at marketing forum
- 'Facebook only has a few years left'
More: Industry news at Australian IT
DIGITAL consumer expert Jeffrey Cole gives social networking giant Facebook five years before its audience begins to splinter.
Dr Cole, who addressed a digital marketing forum hosted by Ninemsn in Sydney this morning, predicted the site would be no more successful than MySpace and Bebo at hanging onto the fickle teenage audience.
Dr Cole, who predicted the decline of MySpace at an earlier appearance he made for Ninemsn in Sydney four years ago, said it would take longer for Facebook's dominance to be challenged because of its global scale.
The social network, which yesterday announced it would launch an email service, has more than 500 million users worldwide.
"The same thing will happen to Facebook but it's going to take a lot longer," Dr Cole said.
"And it's not going to be replaced by one big social networking community but it's going to fragment."Read more at The Australian.

I'm already tired of Facebook. It's a passive thing - I keep track of people I hardly ever get to see. Addictive Zynga games are the only reason people still go there obsessively - eventually people will get bored with these and stop visiting Facebook regularly. without revenue from millions of people hitting it up dozens of times a day, it'll die off.
Sarah of Brisbane Posted at 11:00 AM November 18, 2010
I remember trying to sign up for facebook when it was only for american colleges and couldnt. Haven't bothered signing up for it again because honestly it doesnt interest me, also considering I'm in the "age bracket" - being 22 you'd think I would.

If only his prediction was a little closer - like 2 years away.

Soft-Baked Funfetti Sugar Cookies.
My favorite recipe for soft-baked, chewy funfetti sugar cookies.
It's the return of Funfetti Fridays. Because every Friday deserves a little sprinkle/sparkle to it, right?!
I am very excited for two reasons today:
1) This was the first photo shoot in 8 months that I was able to put away my tripod and free-shoot. Last weekend, I shared with you that I bought a new camera! Quite the business investment. It took me a few photo shoots to get used to it and today was my lucky day. I ditched the tripod! Call it perfect lighting, the perfect camera, or the perfect cookie – whatever it was, I was elated!
2) I have been studying, researching, testing, and retesting, and more retesting for months and months to find the perfect sugar cookie recipe. Thick, soft-baked style, pillow-y, buttery without being greasy, and showered with sprinkles. Well today folks, here it is. The winner!
I have several "go-to" base cookie recipes in my archives. From those base cookie recipes, I have the luxury of creating many spin-off cookies using the same dough. My soft-baked chocolate chip cookie recipe has been the base for 7 of my cookie recipes. My soft & thick peanut butter cookie recipe is the base for so many of my favorites! I also have a peanut butter oatmeal cookie recipe that receives rave reviews from readers. And my new, super-thick chocolate cookie base recently won a Nestle baking contest.
And after months of researching, studying, testing, retesting, and retesting some more… I finally found my one and only sugar cookie recipe. Yes, I did a little happy dance in the kitchen when I took the first bite.
The ingredients are simple. Nothing out of the ordinary. Your usual suspects: all-purpose flour, leaveners, salt, vanilla, butter, egg, sugar, sprinkles. That's it. Nothing fancy. Nothing demanding an extra trip to the grocery store. Just pure, easy ingredients for my sugar cookies.
The recipe is quick. The cookies only take about 8-9 minutes in the oven. They will look undercooked and very soft. That's ok – they will continue to bake as you let them cool on the cookie sheet.
The recipe makes a small batch and can easily be doubled or tripled for a large family, get together, or party. I got 15 decent sized cookies from the batch. Just enough to have some in our cookie jar and leftovers for Kevin's coworkers, who are getting quite spoiled with cookies recently.
There's room for a ton of sprinkles. The dough is thick enough to hold a fair amount of the good stuff. In my recipe testing, I've found that sugar cookie dough can be overly greasy, making it hard to incorporate sprinkles and have them stick. Not these – they're the perfect soft pillow for a multitude of sprinkles. A lot of sprinkles is a good thing. Especially on a Friday. 😉
I have sprinkle fever.
I am quite certain that nothing compares to sinking your teeth into a soft, chewy sugar cookie. The cookies are so tender, they will melt in your mouth.

Soft-Baked Funfetti Sugar Cookies
My favorite recipe for soft-baked, chewy funfetti sugar cookies.
Yield: 15 cookies
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature*
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature*
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 cups (190g) spoon & leveled all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar (cannot be omitted)
- 1/2 cup (80g) sprinkles, plus more for sprinkle on top before baking
- In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream the softened butter for about 1 minute on medium speed. Get it nice and smooth, then add the sugar on medium speed until fluffy and light in color. Mix in egg and vanilla. Scrape down the sides as needed. Set aside.
- In a medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 different parts. The dough is quite thick and you may have to stir the rest by hand. Once combined, fold in 1/2 cup sprinkles.
Scoop a large sections of dough (about 2 Tablespoons of dough each) and roll into balls. Make sure the balls are taller, rather than wide. Add a few more sprinkles on top of each ball dough.
- Chill the balls of dough on the cookie sheet for at least 2 hours and up to 48 hours in the refrigerator.* This step will prevent spreading in the oven.
Preheat oven to 350F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Bake chilled cookie dough for 8-9 minutes. The cookies will appear undone and very soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for 3 minutes and move to wire rack to cool completely.
- Cookies stay soft & fresh for up to 1 week at room temperature. Cookies freeze well. Cookies may be rolled into balls and frozen up to 3 months to bake at a later date. Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
Additional Notes:
*If you're in a pinch and need to soften your butter quickly, cut 1 stick of butter into 5 different sections. Microwave for 10 seconds.
*Room temperature egg is required. To bring the egg to room temperature quickly, place in a warm glass of water for about 10 minutes as you get the other ingredients ready.
*Chilling dough is mandatory.

Was somewhat disappointed with the results of these cookies, after leaving the balls in the fridge for hours the cookies still spread out and became very thin. The cooking times were confusing and at 8 miniutes they were no where close to being done. I did an extra 6-8 miniutes and waited for them to cool assuming that they were going to harden but they stayed mushy. The taste was just soso and were not worth the hours I spent on them
I followed the recipe as closely as possible and measured all of my ingredients very carefully. Sure enough, I ended up with some pretty tasty cookies! The only thing that's wrong with mine is a slight sour/tingly feeling on my tongue (from the cream of tartar I'm assuming). I'll still gladly eat the cookies since they taste yummy, but I think I'll make another batch with less cream of tartar to share with everyone else. Is this a pretty common experience when using cream of tartar?
I was so excited about making these for a friend's birthday and they turned out looking as cute as could be! Very festive and just perfect for a birthday treat! The flavor, on the other hand, was that of raw vanilla flavored dough with an overwhelming artificial taste of the sprinkles. I was so disappointed, and would have been mortified to give my friend such cookies! In the end, they all went in the garbage and I have not tried the recipe again.
I hate to be a downer but I had to say something!! I followed this recipe to a T (measuring properly, letting ingredients get to room temp, chilling dough, bake time, cooling times, etc.) and all I got from it was underdone cookies and about 8 hours of violent food poisoning.
I realize I am just ONE commenter, but perhaps you should adjust the bake time. Or at least add a note about checking to see if they are all the way baked. They looked really pale when I took them out, but the recipe INSISTED I bake no longer than 8 minutes.
I brought these to a LBD BBQ and am praying none of my older relatives got sick.
Made these today. While the recipe was technically successful, they tasted overwhelmingly like the sprinkles – waxy and artificial in flavor. One bite and the entire batch went in the trash. The dough base itself could be used in other ways as it was fine (i.e. a small amount of sprinkles used as a topping might be better than a large quantity stirred into the batter).

Find unread messages using PHP IMAP
Posted March 30th, 2009 in PHP (Updated February 8th, 2011)
Having reached the conclusion of my series on getting Google Analytics data by email I had an enquiry from someone asking how to find only the unread email messages using PHP IMAP. This is simple enough to do and can be done either when looping through the messages or using the imap_search function.
IMAP vs POP
Please note that the Unseen flag will only work if you are connecting to an IMAP mailbox and not when connecting using POP. POP servers have no concept of read and unread messages.
Looping through the messages
I've covered how to loop through messages using PHP IMAP in an earlier post so be sure to read that for more information.
To find the unread emails when looping through look for the ->Unseen property like so:
$count = imap_num_msg($connection); for($msgno = 1; $msgno <= $count; $msgno++) { $headers = imap_headerinfo($connection, $msgno); if($headers->Unseen == 'U') { ... do something ... } }
You could use this to look for specific emails or show in a list view which emails have not yet been read.
Using imap_search
I've covered how to use the imap_search function in my looping through messages to find a specific subject post so be sure to read that for more information.
There's a flag called UNSEEN which you can use to search for the unread emails. You would call the imap_search function with the UNSEEN flag like so:
$result = imap_search($connection, 'UNSEEN');
If you need to combine this with more search flags, for example searching for messages from firstname.lastname@example.com, you could do this:
$result = imap_search($connection, 'UNSEEN FROM "email@example.com"');
For a complete list of the available flags, refer to the criteria section of the imap_search manual page on the PHP website (www.php.net/imap_search)

Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is lupus affecting the skin.
In this autoimmune disease, the body's immune system attacks healthy skin. There are 3 main types: (1) Acute cutaneous lupus ("acute skin lupus"); (2) Subacute cutaneous lupus ("subacute lupus"); and (3) Chronic cutaneous lupus ("discoid lupus"). All patients with skin lupus need to be monitored for disease inside of the body, which can affect the joints, kidneys, lungs, and other organs. Acute skin lupus almost always involves more than just the skin, whereas both subacute and discoid lupus often occur only in the skin. This is important because while all patients with skin lupus need to be monitored, many patients with either subacute lupus or discoid lupus go through life without significant disease inside their bodies.
Lupus most often appears between the ages of 20 and 50 years; it affects women more than men; and it may happen more in patients with a family history of lupus or other autoimmune diseases.
Each type of skin lupus can be triggered and worsened by sunlight. Acute skin lupus most often involves a prominent rash on the cheeks and nose ("butterfly rash"). Subacute lupus most often presents with a red, raised, scaly rash on sun-exposed areas of the body. It tends to have circular skin lesions or lesions that can look like psoriasis on sun-exposed skin. Discoid lupus starts out as a red to purple scaly rash on the scalp, face, ears, and other sun-exposed areas. Over time, discoid lupus may heal with discolored scarring and even hair loss when the scalp is involved. Sometimes patients may feel pain or itch.
Your physician will look at all of your skin, ask questions about your medical and family history, take blood and urine samples, and may do a skin biopsy. Yearly blood and urine testing is needed to screen for lupus affecting the joints or internal organs. Your physician may recommend seeing a rheumatologist (autoimmune specialist) if there is concern that your lupus may affect the joints or organs.
The goal of treatment is to improve the appearance of the skin, limit scarring, and prevent new skin lesions. Therapy begins with protecting your skin carefully from the sun by wearing sunscreen every day. Sunscreen should have a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 50, and the label should indicate that it protects against both types of sunlight (UV-A and UV-B). It is also important to wear sun-protective clothing and a broad-brimmed hat. People with skin lupus or systemic lupus should try to stop smoking because smoking may worsen their disease. Medical treatment for lupus affecting the skin begins with creams or ointments and an oral medication called hydroxychloroquine. If your skin lupus is still active after using these treatments, your physician may consider other medications. Treatments help to control the disease, but there is no permanent cure for skin lupus, so it is important to see your physician regularly.

Contemplative Outreach - Snowmass, CO - Phone: (970) 927-9376
Parks, in Snowmass, are open grounds or garden areas for recreational use, and are usually maintained by a civic body. Typically, a park is a protected area, in its natural or semi-natural planted state, and is meant for human recreation and enjoyment. It has facilities like: jogging or walking strip; active playground for the youth to play soccer, football, etc; see-saw, slide, swing, merry-go-round, etc, for the very young.
Parks, in Snowmass, are both active and passive spots of recreation. Active recreation is that which involves some action on part of the individual and may be a solo or team activity on playgrounds, ball fields and skate parks. Running, throwing, kicking, jogging, walking, swinging, sliding, etc, are all active recreations. Passive recreation is a low level of involvment with activities and may include nature-watching, enjoying an outdoor picnic on the trails, etc.

Several Jedi younglings have to face their greatest challenge yet: obtaining Kyber crystals for themselves in order to build their own lightsabers. This has to be done before the doorway to the cave containing the crystals is frozen over, trapping them inside for several more rotations.

* HotBlooded: Gungi. He gets better.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Petro. Like the latter, he gets better about it.
* LovableCoward: Byph. He gets better, though.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: What the children endured in the cave was this, as they were able to conquer their own weaknesses.

Oh goodness.
So I'll admit that I, for lack of better words, sucked it up at NaNoWriMo this year. I got maybe a 3rd of the way through and then the creative juices just ran dry. It was a bummer considering that I've done it 3 years in a row but sometimes that happens I suppose.
But I have all the ideas right now. So I'm going to get writing. Maybe something amazing will come of it?
Wish me luck!

What's a kid to do during the summer?
An age-old question the Amarillo Globe-News helps to answer with its annual "What's A Kid To Do" gathering, this year on March 24 in the North Exhibit Hall of the Amarillo Civic Center.
Last year, 34 organizations set up displays and offered information about summer camps, said Susie Self, director of special events for the Globe-News.
"This provides one-stop shopping for families to find out what kids can do over the summer," she said.
"They can sign up right then and there and the camps reach people they normally might not have."
From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., parents and children can wander among the exhibits to obtain information on summer camps and summer programs from groups such as the Amarillo Parks & Recreation Department, Girl Scouts - Five Star Council, Golden Spread Council Boy Scouts of America, Amarillo Public Library, Family YMCA, Camp Fire, the Lions Club, Maverick Boys and Girls Club and the Don Harrington Discovery Center.
"Even though there are some representatives from Oklahoma, Childress, Panhandle and Happy, they're mostly from our area," Self said.
As many as 500 people attended last year's event, the second "What's A Kid To Do" event, and Self said she expects at least an equal number to attend this third annual gathering. Families seem to appreciate having so many options under one roof.
"I can't tell you how many people thanked us as they were leaving (last year)," she said.
The Maverick Boys and Girls Club's booth attracted attention from families who might not have considered the club to occupy their children's summer, said David Rodriguez, executive director.
"It helped people not aware of the Maverick Club or people who wouldn't have thought of us," he said. "Some thought we were just a wrestling club; others thought we were for bad kids on their way to Boys Ranch and some were new to town.
"I also learned about other groups and clarified information about others."
The booth offering information about the Amarillo Public Library's Summer Reading Program usually attracts families who lean toward recreational reading anyway, said Donna Bannavong, public relations and programming coordinator.
"But (What's a Kid To Do) gives me the opportunity to connect with kids," she said, "and tell them about the Summer Reading Program."
Connecting with children and their families answers the question, "what's a kid to do?" with the answer - lots.

Apple Weighs Down Markets, But Dow And S&P Remain Positive
Category: Markets / Finance
/ Jan 15, 2013 5:34PM EDT
The Dow and S&P 500 edged higher on Tuesday (January 15) after stronger-than-expected retail data, though tech heavyweight Apple dragged on the market for a third day. Apple was the biggest weight on both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 after reports on Monday of cuts to orders for iPhone parts. Shares declined 3.2 percent to $485.92 (USD) and closed below $500 for the first time since February. Retail stocks advanced after a government report showing retail sales rose more than expected in December was seen as a favorable sign for fourth-quarter growth. A separate report showed manufacturing activity in New York state contracted for the sixth month in a row in January. Among retailers, American Eagle Outfitters Inc
gained 4.8 percent to $20.58 and Gap Inc rose 3.4 percent to $32.46. The Morgan Stanley retail index advanced 1.5 percent.
Express Inc surged 23.8 percent to $17.40 after the apparel retailer raised its fourth-quarter and full year 2012 outlook.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 27.57 points, or 0.20 percent, at 13,534.89. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 1.66 points, or 0.11 percent, at 1,472.34. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 6.72 points, or 0.22 percent, at 3,110.78.
Apple's stock has lost about 7 percent in the last three sessions and is down 8.7 percent since the start of the year.
Also keeping investors on edge is the looming debt ceiling debate. On Monday, President Barack Obama rejected any negotiations with Republicans over raising the U.S. debt ceiling. The United States could default on its debt if Congress does not increase the borrowing limit.
Resolving the debt ceiling is more a question of how than if. Investors don't expect a U.S. default, but they are also wary of another eleventh-hour agreement like the one in August 2011.
An expected lackluster earnings season, too, kept investors from taking aggressive bets. Analyst estimates for the quarter have fallen sharply since October. S&P 500 earnings growth is now seen up just 1.8 percent from a year ago, Thomson Reuters data showed.
Dell Inc shares added to Monday's gains, ending up 7.2 percent to $13.17 after sources said talks to take the computer maker private are in an advanced stage.
On the down side, shares of Facebook dropped 2.7 percent to $30.10. The company unveiled a "graph search" feature that CEO Mark Zuckerberg said would help its billion-plus users sort through content within the social network and its content feeds.
Volume was roughly 5.8 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and the NYSE MKT, compared with the 2012 average daily closing volume of about 6.45 billion.
Advancers outpaced decliners on the NYSE by about 17 to 12 and on the Nasdaq by about 13 to 11.

There were many excellent questions, please allow me to elaborate...
The FLD (Float Lock Down) caused the FTD (Failure To Deliver). In other words, they're both "interconnected!"
When we buy and hold a stock, we're taking shares out of the market and in that process we reduce the float (the number of shares that are actually available for trading, not counting any restricted shares). When we have effectively bought all of the stock (SVFC) that is practically available for trading, it's called: "Float Lock Down."
Any shares purchased after all the (SVFC) stock is sold-out, causes the market makers to sell shares that they don't have! So they must either borrow shares to sell short or they naked short (sell shares that do not exist).
For example, stocks bought and sold in a transaction must be settled within 3 days. Obviously, the buyer must deliver the cash and the seller must give him the stock. But, if either party doesn't meet their obligation within 3 days, a FTD (Failure To Deliver) takes place. THIS PRIMARILY HAPPENS IN A SHORT SALE OR NAKED SHORT (see above).
The FTD (Failure To Deliver) "threshold point" was exceeded on Friday, January 31, 20014 due to the FLD (Float Lock Down). In simple terms, everyone on our buy-and-hold list, caused the FLD! ***THIS IS GOOD NEWS! CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF US ON THE SHARE-COUNT LIST!***
Sentiment: Strong Buy

With more than half the Wando football team stricken with a staph infection, Berkeleys Friday, Aug. 8 scrimmage against the Warriors has been cancelled.
The cancellation leaves the Stags scrambling to find a replacement game.
Coach Cruce is working hard as we speak to find someone to play on Friday night, said Berkeley Principal Steven Steele.
On Wednesday, Wando was forced to cancel practice because of the outbreak.
According to Berkeley athletic director and football coach Jeff Cruce, his coaching staff in all sports work hard to guard against staph infection outbreaks.
More than half the team is a lot and we take preventative steps here to make sure this type of thing doesnt happen, Cruce said.
According to www.webmd.com, A staph infection is caused by a Staphylococcus (or staph) bacteria. About 25-percent of people normally carry staph.
The foot is also very prone to pick up bacteria from the floor. The infection often begins with a little cut, which gets infected with bacteria.
We wash all our gear every day in hot water, Cruce said. We dont let the kids take anything home. Everything we have is washed immediately after practice.
Cruce also said the locker rooms and weight room are regularly defogged and sanitized to guard against staph outbreaks.
For now, Cruce is left at the mercy of other area football teams in trying to find a replacement for Wando.
They all want me to come to their place and Im not doing that this year, he said. We may scrimmage Goose Creek at their place in the morning as part of a three-team scrimmage but right now thats up in the air.

Top cop claims he was pressured
- From: Herald Sun
- April 09, 2014
ONE of the state's most senior police has been accused of trying to shut down a bullying investigation that was the subject of an Independent Broad-Based Anti-Corruption Commission probe.
Former senior sergeant David Bishop claims he was approached on behalf of one senior officer by another to get him to drop a bullying complaint against Supt Dean Stephenson in return for a "way out" of assault allegations against him.
Supt Stephenson, was accused in 2011, when he was commander of Melbourne's northern division, of bullying Mr Bishop through a course of conduct including allegedly concocting two assault charges against him. Those charges were later withdrawn.
Mr Bishop said he was telephoned by a senior officer, whom the Herald Sun has chosen not to identify for legal reasons, and told he was calling on behalf of another officer, whom we have also chosen not to identify for legal reasons, to ask him if there was anything he wanted to "resolve" the bullying matter.
"He told me that I would end up 'wearing the cost' if I pursued my complaint because the force was 'heartless over this stuff' and said I should look to resolve the matter," Mr Bishop told the Herald Sun.
Mr Bishop said he asked if the senior officer wanted him to withdraw his complaint against Supt Stevenson.
"He said withdrawing the charge and kissing and making up was an option and what the senior officer was hoping to hear — that I would put a line through it and say I wasn't interested in pursuing it anymore, that I just wanted to clear my name," he said.
Mr Bishop spoke to the Herald Sun after being told IBAC would take no further action in the matter.
"To me it's abhorrent that a (senior officer) acting as an emissary for (another senior officer) would call up a complainant and offer an incentive to withdraw his statement in a criminal matter. It's highly inappropriate," he said.
Asked if the force was comfortable with the alleged conversation, Victoria Police spokeswoman Leonie Johnson would say only that an investigation into allegations of bullying by a superintendent was complete and that none of the allegations were substantiated.
"As such, no action will be taken against the superintendent," she said. "All parties have been informed of the outcomes, and a copy of the report has been sent to IBAC for their review. We are satisfied that this was a thorough and comprehensive inquiry, conducted by an independent, external investigator.
"Victoria Police does not tolerate bullying. All allegations of bullying are thoroughly investigated, and while we do not believe bullying to be a systemic issue within the workplace, we are working hard to ensure the ongoing wellbeing of all our staff."
Supt Stephenson remains in the force and works as a staff officer for Deputy Commissioner Tim Cartwright. There is no suggestion that Supt Stephenson knew that the officer called Mr Bishop in relation to the complaint against him, or that he had any involvement in the call being made.
Mr Bishop said he had no confidence in IBAC, describing it "as grossly incompetent and absolutely impotent".
In 2012, he appeared before the Federal Government's workplace bullying hearing in Canberra.
The 25-year veteran then told the Herald Sun he was willing to put his job at risk to speak out on behalf of 19 other bullied officers.
"I will tell the committee that workplace bullying in Victoria Police is substantial," he said at the time.
"But what's worse is the detrimental treatment of members who report bullying. It actually becomes worse than the bullying itself."
Mr Bishop first raised his concerns with the Office of Police Integrity in 2011, when the matter was handed back to police to investigate internally.
Mr Bishop said the outcome of that initial internal investigation, completed by a seasoned investigator, remained unknown because the matter was then handed to a private workplace relations company to reinvestigate. That investigation has now been reviewed by IBAC, which replaced the OPI last year.
IBAC spokeswoman Hazel Penfold said its review was complete and Mr Bishop had been advised of this.
Asked if the alleged phone call formed part of their investigations she said: "For legal and operational reasons, it is inappropriate for IBAC to comment on whether or not any matter might or might not be the subject of an investigation."
A State Government survey completed by 4200 police in May 2011 found 21 per cent had been bullied at work and 29 per cent had witnessed bullying at work.Originally published as IBAC ends bully probe

ONCE UPON A TIME, I thought there was nothing worse than for an analog person (me) to be trapped in a digital world.
Now that I am a "dog person" in a cat's world, I realize that I was wrong. I am in a dark tunnel.
Regular readers know I am an animal advocate and have been writing about animal issues for years. I like all animals, even so-called "bad" or "ugly" ones, such as sharks and snakes (OK, I skeeve cockroaches). I love dogs, always have.
Everything dogs are - friendly, enthusiastic, empathic - cats are not. That doesn't mean I dislike cats. It means they are not dogs.

Is relevance at the top of your list of goals for your association? Many association professionals are sure becoming more relevant is the key to your association staying in business for years to come.
Forget about it. Relevance is for losers.
You need to win with value.
I have no data to support this, but I'd guess that the most frequently used word with the word "Relevant" is "NOT"
No one says, "Wow, that association is really relevant for me." They want useful. They want ROI. They want value.
The best way to deliver value is to talk to your members, take a genuine interest in their business, communicate effectively and over deliver on their expectations.
While the perception of value is rooted in dollars and cents, there is certainly an intangible aspect as well. You have to appeal to their emotional side as well as their rational side. Members will want to feel good about the value they're receiving, and see it in black and white.
Strategies to Deliver Value
- Answer members' questions – Create content, programs and benefits around the questions your members ask you every day. Share that content with your members on your blog, through videos, whitepapers, and other channels. No, you won't put out as much content as the rest of the Internet, but you don't have to. Not only will your content be relevant, but your content will have great value because it's targeted to the needs of your members
- Answer the questions they're not asking you – Seek out what's important to your members on other similar websites, or by using Twitter, Google Alerts or question/answer websites such as Quora. Search for industry terms or topics and create additional content that shows your members how your association is in touch with their needs. You don't have to always create the content either. Even if you share information from others sources (which you should), your members will find value in knowing that your association is an expert and providing them with resources they need.
- Provide exposure to new customers - The number one reason most members join an association is to grow their business. A search engine optimized online business directory can drive traffic to your website and put your members in front of new potential customers. Having an online business directory creates additional pages on your domain, making your site more relevant in searches for your industry or area.
- Help them learn – Let them know about learning and certification programs. Giving members a way to stand out in their field will make them more successful and credit will go to your association.
- Save them time – What programs and benefits do you offer that saves them time? Be explicit in explaining the benefits to them. Where you can, connect this time savings to dollars. Use case studies to show how certain members have improved their business due to your association's services. Tell a story that other members can relate to and drive value from.
- Save them money – Do your members receive benefits and discounts that truly make an impact on their business? Did your legislative efforts save them additional taxes? Again, equate these activities to dollars. Rather than state that your government affairs efforts saved the business community $8,000,000, break it down and show how small businesses will save an average of $1,500/year each.
The goal is to deliver value in excess of membership fees and costs. Reward your members for their continued support by continually connecting your association's programs and activities to a dollar value.
Track and Share Your Value
Member loyalty is both an art and a science. The scientific part comes with measurement and analysis. With analytic tools and your membership management software, it's easier than ever to make a case for value.
When members join, log their reasons for joining using custom fields or tags in your membership database. Your staff can use this information when communicating with members throughout the year. If a group of members joined for certification programs, make sure those members receive regular updates on your educational programs.
Track benefits and your assigned dollar values in your membership management software. If your association has tiered membership levels, make sure you enter when each member receives certain benefits so you can report on it later and remind them of the value they are receiving.
Track the referrals and leads your members receive from your website. Sometimes the exposure your members receive from your website alone can justify their membership renewal each year. Make sure you regularly send them reports of how many referrals they are receiving.
Run insightful reports from your association management software to show members their involvement - annual dues, sponsorships, committees, event attendance, and more - with your association and the value they are receiving. Use that opportunity to ask them questions and learn more about how you can continue to provide them with valuable resources that help them grow their business.
Make sure you communicate the value of membership and engagement well in advance of renewal time, too. Members need to be continually reminded of value throughout the year, rather than in a once-a-year renewal drive.

- Why Chambers and Associations Have A Content Marketing Advantage
Your association has a lot more to offer than mere relevance. Help your members succeed, and they'll return the favor.
Don't afraid of change and trying new tools. Whether it's moving to a new dues structure, starting a blog, launching a new service or embracing social media, it's important to be fluid in meeting the needs of a new generation of members.
What have you done to make your association more valuable to your members?
