Bond Basics for Individuals: A Guide to Buying and SellingWhile people speak of the bond market as if it were one market, in reality there is not one central place or exchange where bonds are bought and sold. Rather, the bond market is a gigantic over-the-counter market, consisting of networks of independent dealers, organized by type of security, with some overlaps. Whereas stocks sell ultimately in one of three independent exchanges, most bonds are sold dealer to dealer.
This market is so vast that its size is difficult to imagine. Overwhelmingly, this is an institutional market. It raises debt capital for the largest issuers of debt, such as the U.S government, state and...

What is in this article?:
- Droughts changing the way farmers grow cotton
- More half-pivots
- Banking duties
- Drought may be altering the way High Plains farmers irrigate.
- More half-circles are likely.
- Cotton will remain major crop.
More About:
High Plains cotton is nearly ready to harvest.
Two consecutive droughts may be changing the way Texas High Plains cotton farmers manage their crops.
"I think drought is altering the way we look at water and the way we irrigate," says Matt Wilmeth, Ralls, Texas, farmer and banker. "We may need to reduce the amount of irrigated acreage," he says, and possibly change crop mixes to conserve water resources that continue to decline across the High Plains.
He's currently managing nearly 1,500 acres of cotton. He converted 150 acres to grain sorghum following a hailstorm that took out some cotton early. "All but 100 acres of that is irrigated," Wilmeth says. "Twenty percent is in subsurface drip irrigation; we have 30 acres of row-water irrigation; and the rest is under pivots."
The 2012 crop, he says, "is not bad — it's way better than it was last year. Most of our acreage is just a little below normal. Some of the drip irrigated acreage is as good as usual. We got some rain that other places missed."
Last year, he says, the area "got basically no rain, and high temperatures and high winds also hurt."
Wilmeth says his bank customers, many of whom have farm loans, have changed irrigation management to half-circles — watering cotton under half the pivot and growing the other dryland or leaving it fallow following wheat.
"We started to do that on one pivot this year, but we got some rain and planted a full circle."
He says if grain prices stay high he may try to plant a short season corn variety — 100-day maturity — and cotton after that. "I would plant as early in March as possible and would be through watering corn by the time cotton needs moisture."
He says planting corn on the outside or the inside of the cotton crop would be more efficient than planting two half-circles. "We get more benefit from the water by making a full circle than by using a windshield wiper technique."
Adding more subsurface drip irrigation is currently not an option, "unless we pick up another farm. We also like to have land available to graze for our commercial cattle operation."
Cotton will remain most significant crop
He thinks the area will turn to more dryland cotton in the next few years. "If grain stays high into the fall and spring, we might see a temporary dip in cotton acreage. Long-term, cotton will remain the main crop for this area, but we may see some decline."
He says some acreage is not well-suited to dryland cotton. "Soils are too tight; we typically get rain in the spring, and then we get runoff. A wheat/fallow/cotton rotation may be another option. That has worked well for some until the last two years of drought.

So LO has been gaining steadily every month (1lb 9 oz, and 1 lb 6 oz past two months). But the past couple of weeks, she's become a real lazy latcher! Sometimes I get a lightning bolt of pain because she's just chomping away at my nipple. Then she'll start complaining at the boob and tugging. I delatch , and sure enough my nipple's white and no milk's coming out. I switch breasts and within a minute or so, the original breast is is squirting milk as usual.
I've also noticed she's far more distracted. Even when she does latch well, 10 minutes later she's looking around- at the computer and even cranes her neck around and stares at the blank TV screen and gets fussy. It's almost like she wants to me to turn it on. (I try to keep a no TV policy during the day so she's not distracted from eating and napping.)
Now I'm wondering if she's craving stimulation and just less interested in eating in general. She's an active kid, no doubt about it. She very chatty, and is a lap baby who likes lots of back and forth talk, movement and playing with rattles and paper. She likes to co-sleep but spends the first half sleeping next to the bed in the bassinet. She ends up in bed with us latched on and sleeping from the wee hours until getting out of bed.
I have to force her to get two 2-hour naps by putting on white noise. She'll get sleepy when she eats, but fights going anywhere but on my lap or in the swing by day. If I don't put on white noise, she'll just chat to herself in the swing until she gets impatient and starts crying. The car seat and stroller are variable . Sometimes she'll settle in and nap well- other times she'll scream like a scalded cat.
I would chalk this up to normal development if it weren't for her weird weight gain this past week. She gained almost 4 ounces in one day two times last week, but then lost in it poo explosions in subsequent days. She ended up with zero net gain this week, which hasn't happened since she was just born.
Is there something I'm missing or could be doing to keep her weight gain on even keel?

Happy Monday, family!!
Ahhhh, the year is passing us by, uh? I could have sworn I was juuust making my way to Long Beach in California early February. But I'm not complaining because I am one of those annoyingly happy people during the holidays. I adore Christmas time and was ecstatic to hear Christmas music as I was strolling through Sephora on Saturday. It will only be a matter of time until I start getting my Christmas tree together. Yessss!
Okay–back to business. This was a reader requested mascara. I received several emails about this mascara waaay before I even saw it in stores. And then I saw the display featuring the omnipresent Rihanna. I swear that chick seems to be everywhere. Did this mascara live up claim of brightening the eyes? Hmmm….
Price: 5 out of 5 ($6.00 from CVS)
Packaging (Brush Wand): 3 out of 5
Overall: 1 out of 5
What it claims: "The unique eye brightening formula combined with the patented No Clump brush technology brings out the color of your eyes and gives you gorgeous clump-free lashes."
The truth: Wait, what? I'm looking for my eyes to be brighter? What the….is there a mini flashlight in the mascara tube or something? I don't get it.
What I loved about it: Uh….I love how the tube is white and then fades out into a gray and then black. Seriously the only good thing about this mascara.
What I didn't like: Gee, where to start…..okay, here's the wand.
Not bad but not spectacular either. I didn't like how the "hairs" of the wand weren't elongated all the way out. You see how they start small and then get bigger? Well, what sense does that make, CoverGirl? How am I going to get the inner lashes? Yikes!
Overall: I don't really know what CoverGirl's motive was for this mascara. Some promise length. Others promise curl. And then some promise clump free separation, volume, long lasting wear, etc. But how many people have actually said, "Gosh, I wish my brown eyes looked brighter!" *looks around* One would assume that if for whatever you reason you wanted your eyes to appear "brighter" then you would perhaps play in around in eye make-up that compliments your eye color, right? CoverGirl has tried to be innovative and failed, in my opinion. This mascara does nothing. See for yourself…
The length isn't bad but that's not what I l'm looking for. Do my eyes appear brighter to you, folx? No. I was extremely frustrated with this claim not delivering. And while the mascara itself didn't clump on me, I experienced terrible fall-out in my eyes. Each day that I wore it, I had eye irritation allll day. Not good. And then I figured out why. Look closely at this picture and enlarge if you have to.
The mascara apparently has little glitterly flecks that are supposed to "illuminate" your eyes. I get it! But nope, take it back to the chopping block, CoverGirl. These little flecks are irritaters (made that word up) that should not be in a product that goes so close to the eye. That's a no-no. And I'm sure it would be far worse if I were a contact wearer. Not a good idea.
Would I recommend it: Absolutely not. I don't think it's very safe for the eye. I mean, at all…plus it doesn't do anything. Definitely not a fan of this mascara.
*wipes brow* I'm trashing this baby here. So what do you think? Has anyone else tried this mascara? I hate to give such a not-good report but I must keep it real with yall. Still interested in testing out this mascara? What say you?

Integrated Dynamic Electron Solutions, Inc.
Dynamic Transmission Electron Microscopes DTEM reveal unprecedented details of the mechanisms underlying a host of nanoscale systems that are at the core of our current and future energy economy.
A vast and growing number of materials utilized in the energy sector rely on nanostructured materials and their unique dynamic behaviors. DTEM offers researchers the ability to directly interrogate these materials at time and length scales that to-date have either been impossible to access or required the use of multi-billion dollar synchrotrons. DTEM will fundamentally change the approach to basic and applied research in the diverse and numerous fields that involve nanomaterials. Direct imaging of the behavior of nano- and bio-materials will not only change the way scientists approach nanoscale problems, but it will fundamentally drive the engineering of these systems and their use in the energy sector.
DTEM offers imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy of nanomaterials at frame rates that are more than six orders of magnitude greater than the current state of the art. Moreover the technique utilizes pulse durations as short as 10ns and achieves nanometer spatial resolutions which enables direct imaging and spectroscopy of material dynamics, including nanoparticle catalysis, structural changes in biomolecules, and electronic and charge transfer processes in solar cells and battery electrodes.
The key difficulty with this technology is the large capital investment required to establish a DTEM facility, which typically involves millions of dollars of equipment. This challenge is offset by the incredible value delivered by DTEM when compared to expensive facilities, such as synchrotrons and aberration corrected TEMs. IDES has successfully constructed its first commercial DTEM instrument demonstrating not only a market need, but also the viability of the technology itself.
7AC Technologies, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, is developing Liquid Desiccant HVAC systems for Commercial and Industrial buildings using technology from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. These Liquid Desiccant HVAC systems deliver a 50 to 75 percent reduction in energy usage over conventional HVAC units. The system consists of a membrane conditioner responsible for drying and cooling the air and a heat-driven regenerator. The liquid desiccant design allows for the utilization of solar or waste heat sources, paving the way for net-zero energy retrofits to existing buildings with costs comparable to conventional HVAC.
Borla Performance Industries, based in Johnson City, has an option to license a novel, nano-pore membrane technology from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Combining this innovation with Borla's exhaust technology will lead to a low cost, unique exhaust system that will double as an energy neutral device to recover and reclaim clean water from engines powered by diesel, gasoline or natural gas. Military and commercial applications include transport and stationery power plants, marine, cars and trucks.
California Lithium Battery (CaLBattery), based in Los Angeles, California, is developing a low-cost, advanced lithium-ion battery that employs a novel silicon graphene composite material that will substantially improve battery cycle life. When combined with other advanced battery materials, it could effectively lower battery life cycle cost by up to 70 percent. Over the next year, CALBattery will be working with Argonne National Laboratory to combine their patented silicon-graphene anode material process together with other advanced ANL cathode and electrolyte battery materials.
Element One, based in Boulder, Colorado, has created the only available coatings that change color when detecting hydrogen and other hazardous gas leaks, either reversibly or non-reversibly, to provide both current and historical information about leaks. Element One's patented gas indicators and sensors use catalyzed thin films or nanoparticles of a transition metal oxide to create very low cost sensors for use in industrial and consumer environments, greatly reducing the potential for undetected leaks and their cost and safety implications. This technology is also being integrated for use in refineries, industry gas and fuel cells systems and was developed using technology from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Iowa Powder Atomization Technologies, Inc. (IPAT), based in Nevada, Iowa, is using gas atomization technology developed at Ames Laboratory to make titanium powder with processes that are ten times more efficient than traditional powder-making methods — significantly lowering the cost of the powder to manufacturers. The powder form of titanium is easier to work with than having to cast the metal — where manufacturers melt and pour liquid metal into molds — particularly given titanium's tendency to react with the materials used to form molds. Titanium's strength, light weight, biocompatibility and resistance to corrosion make it ideal for use in a variety of parts — from components for artificial limbs — like those used by wounded veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan — to military vehicle components, biomedical implants, aerospace fasteners and chemical plant valves.
SH Coatings, based in Dallas, Texas, employs Super Hydrophobic Coating (SHC) technology that protects power systems by preventing ice accumulation on power lines in ice storm threatened areas and contamination of power lines from salt on the coasts. In order to successfully utilize and commercialize the SHC technology for this application, tools to apply the coating onto new and existing lines must be developed. SH Coatings is developing these tools with the help of technology from Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
SynchroPET, based in Shoreham, New York, is a start-up biotech firm with the next generation of PET Scanners, which have superior imaging capabilities to what is currently available on the market today. SynchroPET's technology was developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory and it enabled SynchroPET to miniaturize the typical PET Scanner while improving its image. SynchroPET's technology can be paired with an existing MRI machine for a simultaneous image. These advances will accelerate the creation of new pharmaceuticals to treat cancers, and Alzheimer and Parkinson's diseases. SynchroPET currently has four prototypes built, and each have been used by researchers from labs in New York.
Teknikem is developing a chemical blend platform technology invented by the Y12 National Security Complex that is known as RonJohn. RonJohn is a safer, more eco-friendly alternative to dangerous chemicals and processes used to strip paints and adhesives from parts and equipment. RonJohn is not toxic, not flammable, not carcinogenic but is biodegradeable and very effective on many plastics, paints, and adhesives. Market segments and channels are being developed including the military, aerospace, shipping construction/maintenance, ground transportation, general industry, and consumer retail.
TrakLok, Inc., based in Knoxville, Tenn., intends to use an Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)-developed, technology for tagging, tracking, locating and communicating with cargo containers and trailers in transit. The ORNL technology provides an avenue to meet increasing requirements for shipping containers to be "smart boxes" that can be tracked electronically. TrakLok uses GPS technology and satellite communications as part of its tracking and warning capability and international container locking technology to protect against container tampering, theft, vandalism and smuggling. Shipments can be tracked through a web-accessible, information technology-based global tracking system to provide real time visibility of cargo.
US e-Chromic LLC, based in Boulder, Colorado, will use electrochromic technology developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to create a new thin film window material that reflects sunlight on demand, making windows more energy efficient while reducing cooling costs for consumers.
Umpqua Energy, based in Medford, Oregon, is using an Argonne National Laboratory technology to develop a system that allows a gasoline engine to operate in an extreme lean burn mode in order to increase gasoline mileage. One negative side effect of a lean burn engine, whether powered by gasoline or diesel fuel, is an increase in the amount of harmful gases released to the environment. The company expects to both increase fuel economy and simultaneously reduce emissions with its system.
Vorbeck Materials, based in Jessup, Md., is using a Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)-developed method for building tiny chemical structures to greatly improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable batteries that are widely used in portable devices such as laptops and power electric vehicles. Vorbeck is using PNNL's method to develop better lithium air and lithium sulfur batteries. The new material in Vorbeck's batteries stores twice as much electricity at high charge and discharge rates as current lithium-ion batteries, and creates increased battery capacity and a longer cycle life.
Woodmont Enterprises, based in Nashville, Tennessee, is creating a top-coat solution moisture barrier product for oriented-strand board (OSB), an engineered wood product formed by layering flakes of wood, by using technology developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The primary focus is to create a moisture barrier on OSB during transportation and after installation. One net benefit to moisture protected OSB after installation is mold resistance.

PORTALES — The 12th Annual Ag Expo is right around the corner and people from around the United States will showcase this country's agriculture at the Roosevelt County Fairgrounds Monday through Wednesday.
The festivities for the Ag Expo range from quilting and cooking to tractor shows and dairy cattle.
"It draws people from within a 100-mile radius of Portales," Roosevelt County Extension Agent Floyd McAlister said. "It provides the latest changes and educational opportunities in agriculture."
The Farm/City/Eastern New Mexico University/Cannon Air Force Base Banquet tips off the Ag Expo at 7 p.m. Monday at the fairgrounds. Ag Expo Committee Chairman Dennis Edwards said people are excited about the banquet, which will have Lowell Catlett of New Mexico State University as the guest speaker.
"He is well-known throughout the United States as a futuristic agriculture economist," Edwards said. "He's an outstanding speaker and we are pleased to have him. It's a nice way to start off the ag expo."
Anna Foster of the Roosevelt County Chamber of Commerce considers the Ag Expo the largest event for the chamber each year.
Foster said the Women's Building will offer more activities than in past years, including a quilt show, repairing quilts' seminar and cooking demonstrations.
Presenters of the Ag Expo expect to draw more than 400 exhibitors from across the United States and Canada.
Clay Mathis of New Mexico State University will offer an update on United States animal identification plans, an issue that has been brought to light because of mad cow disease.
"There is a lot of talk about the new system of animal identification," Edwards said. "People want to know where the hamburger patty came from. From what cow did it come from and from what ranch did it come from."
The ag expo covers as many facets of agriculture in Roosevelt County as it possibly can within three days. There are seminars on using and preparing horses for show throughout the day on Tuesday. Seminars on milking and producing compost from manure are two events taking place in the Jake Lopez Building on Wednesday.
"There will be seminars on how to do things better," Edwards said.
"Farmers need to be certified for pesticides and some of the seminars will count towards their certification."
The second annual dairy heifer sale will take place on Wednesday. There will be around 200 head of replacement heifers from the eastern part of the United States and a few from the local dairies for sale, according to Randy Bouldin, chairman of the sale.
"The heifers have been picked off the top of the better replacement heifers," Bouldin said in a press release.
Edwards, who has been on the committee for 11 years, said the Ag Expo has grown in the last 12 years and all of the vendor space at the Roosevelt County Fairgrounds is filled.
"He have a high rate of return exhibitors," Edwards said. "All of the vendor space is sold out. We requested in the capital outlay to have the pavilion expanded by double the size. We believe we can fill it up."
Edwards said the success of the Ag Expo is due in part because of a seasoned committee that knows what needs to be done and because the chamber officials work on it year-round.
There is no charge to enter the 12th Annual Ag Expo and there will also be a 16-foot stock trailer given away.
"We crammed as much as we could into three days a person could hope for," McAlister said. "It should be a good one."

SHOPWORN - Starting Out - Classical SicilianProduct Code: SWB0018EM
Publisher: Everyman Chess
Pages: 176
Book DescriptionThe Classical Sicilian is one of Black's most popular and highly regarded opening choices against 1 e4, and it's been a favorite of such greats as Vladimir Kramnik, Alexei Shirov and Vishy Anand. White has a number of aggressive ways to battle against the Classical: the fashionable Richter-Rauzer Attack; Bobby Fischer's favourite, the Sozin Attack; and finally the wild Velimirovic Attack, and no work on the Classical would be complete without a study of these fascinating variations. In this book, Alexander Raetsky and Maxim Chetverik revisit the basics of the Classical Sicilian, elaborating on the crucial early moves and plans for both sides in a way that is often neglected in other texts.
The Everyman Chess Starting Out series has firmly established itself as the leading guide to studying openings for up-and-coming players. These books are distinguished by their easy-to-read layout, the lucid explanations of the fundamentals, and the abundance of notes, tips and warnings to help the reader absorb vital ideas. Starting Out opening books are ideal for enthusiastic chess players who have little experience of the openings in question and who wish to appreciate the essential principles behind them.

Politics has been marred by sex scandals throughout American history. Take a look at some of the steamiest.
In 1998, news broke of an affair between then-President Bill Clinton and 22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The resulting investigation eventually led to the impeachment of Clinton by the U.S. House of Representatives and his subsequent acquittal on perjury and obstruction of justice charges in a 21-day Senate trial.

Of Mixed Fan Base Families, December Birthdays and Mickey Mouse
Families certainly bring about the weird and wonderful in life, especially where birthdays are concerned and especially around the holidays. This is how I found myself yesterday afternoon running to UPS to ship a very California, Angels inspired, Red Sox fan item from Los Angeles County to Boston. You can go back and read that again if you want but, trust me, you read it correctly the first time. Allow me to back up and explain.
Our nephew Henry is a very new diehard Red Sox fan. He's only turning six this week, so the very new part can be forgiven. The Red Sox part really isn't his fault either. There are undeniable environmental factors involved. Growing up in the Boston area, the cards really were stacked against him turning out any other way…or at least these are the jokes I tell my sister-in-law, his mother. She's a somewhat casual Yankees fan married to a far less casual Red Sox fan and these comments made her laugh a lot. (Yes, on my side of the family we have Dodgers and Giants fans – and a few rogue Royals fans – occasionally coinciding within the same immediate family group. On my husband's side of the family we have the same thing with the Yankees and the Red Sox. And my husband and I are the odd folks out wherever we go. When the trash talk starts it can occasionally get epic, but it doesn't start nearly as often as you might think.).
When Henry and his family came out to California for their summer visit, he came to dinner wearing an obviously well loved Clay Buchholz shirt. My husband and I were the height of cool in his book when we told him we'd seen Buchholz pitch. The Red Sox are the best team ever, he proclaimed. So I asked him to tell me about the Red Sox and why they were his favorite team. Henry got an extremely thoughtful look on his face and seemed to consider my question very carefully. Then he broke out in a huge grin.
Because Big Papi can hit the ball so far, Aunt Kristen. I mean really, really far. And this year we killed the Angels!
At this last comment, my sister-in-law looked mortified. But between her expression and our nephew's literally bouncing up and down enthusiasm, my husband and I could not help but laugh. Those are very good reasons, Henry, I told him in between giggles.
Hey, he's five (just shy of six now), he's starting to love baseball and he's passionate about his favorite team. What could be cuter? Other than his favorite team having a halo in their logo, I mean. So for his birthday, we sent Henry this Red Sox Mickey (shown here sitting next to his, in my opinion, much better looking cousin Angels Mickey):
Buying Red Sox Mickey for our nephew was really funny. They still have the All Star Game Mickeys (36 different kinds – one painted to represent each team as well as an AL Mickey, an NL Mickey and 4 different All Star Mickeys) for sale at the Big A so we went to buy one after a game. The saleskid looked really surprised at my request after taking in our Angels gear and kind of sputtered, But, but that's the ugliest Mickey of all of them! As he handed me the box.
I decided to have a little fun with him. Really, you think so? But the red and blue are such great colors don't you think? And look, he's got an adorable little Wally the Green Monster right here on his foot!
At this point, Saleskid kind of short circuited. He did that goldfish out of water thing where the mouth just opens and closes without actually making any noise as he tried to think of something nice to say about the Mickey, the customer being always right and all that. So we laughed and let him off the hook by explaining about the Red Sox fan nephew's birthday.
Saleskid's response? You guys are awfully accepting. Best Aunt and Uncle ever.
Hopefully Henry agrees.

You are a better Christmas gift giver than me. I once called off a wedding because she forgot to tell me she was a New York Yankee fan. And this was before the Rays were awarded a team (lol).
I was once asked to send a friend in Carbondale, Illinois a Chicago Cubs hat,being the practical joker I am at times, I sent him a Florida Marlins cap….Two weeks later, Bartman ruined his evening.
Love the All-Star Mickey Mouse figurine. We had the huge Rays rendition one in the Trop's rotunda for the last month of the season, but still no minature size…Bummer!
You can always remind your Red Sox relative that the arm was broken off the Boston Mickey Mouse before this years All Star game….I swear I was no where in the area….Check my GPS.
Rays Renegade
HAHA. Loved your story. Sounds like you come from a very mixed family, baseball wise. I'm glad you manage to stay civil to each other and I think you're the best aunt and uncle ever that you didn't give your nephew a stern lecture when he answered your question the way he did! LOL.
Good story. Thanks for sharing😉 Any chance they make an Expos All-Star Mickey? Hehehe.
Rays Renegade – The Marlins hat story is hilarious. Yeah, I definitely plan on telling my nephew the story of the giant Red Sox Mickey's broken arm when he's older. And of course you were in Florida at the time. You're not protesting too much or anything there…
Jane – Well, he was only 5 at the time. If he'd been older, say 7, I might have let him have it with both verbal barrels. But at 5 he still gets a pass, LOL.
Jeff – Hey, hate me because I post sappy stories around the Holidays just don't hate me because the Angels have no news worth blogging about right now, he he. Yeah, I heard they tried to market the Expos Mickey more effectively by covering it in a Nationals uniform but still no one believed it was a real baseball team.
::asking myself what happened to my post here. I thought I posted it a couple of days ago::
Oh well,
I remember the broken Red Sox Mickey when I volunteered for the All-Star FanFest. I took pics and posted them. The Dodger Mickey was at the Downtown LA Music center. I bought my mini Dodger Mickey at Walgreen back in July.
You are a nice "tia" buying the Red Sox mickey for your nephew.
Thanks Emma. My sister-in-law sent us an email later that week and mi sobrino definitely liked Red Sox Mickey. Score! I didn't know you volunteered at Fan Fest. That had to be a lot of fun!

How do we recognize the remorseless? One of their chief characteristics is a kind of glow or charisma that makes sociopaths more charming or interesting than the other people around them. They're more spontaneous, more intense, more complex, or even sexier than everyone else, making them tricky to identify and leaving us easily seduced. Fundamentally, sociopaths are different because they cannot love. Sociopaths learn early on to show sham emotion, but underneath they are indifferent to others' suffering. They live to dominate and thrill to win.
The fact is, we all almost certainly know at least one or more sociopaths already. Part of the urgency in reading The Sociopath Next Door is the moment when we suddenly recognize that someone we know, someone we worked for, or were involved with, or voted for, is a sociopath. But what do we do with that knowledge? To arm us against the sociopath, Dr. Stout teaches us to question authority, suspect flattery, and beware the pity play. Above all, she writes, when a sociopath is beckoning, do not join the game.
It is the ruthless versus the rest of us, and The Sociopath Next Door will show you how to recognize and defeat the devil you know.
©2005 Martha Stout; (P)2005 Tantor Media, Inc.
"Stout is a good writer and her exploration of sociopaths can be arresting." (Publishers Weekly)
"A remarkable philosophical examination of the phenomenon of sociopathy and its everyday manifestations....Stout's portraits make a striking impact and readers with unpleasant neighbors or colleagues may find themselves paying close attention to her sociopathic-behavior checklist and suggested coping strategies. Deeply thought-provoking and unexpectedly lyrical." (Kirkus)
"Who do you know?"
This book is truly facinating! Well worth the money and time. Audio clarity is superb. This book gives the author's professional insight to the world of sociopaths and their lack of conscience. She does a great job of developing characters based on real patients to illustrate the various types of sociopaths. She suggests that there are more of them out there than we realize.
I found myself thinking about anyone and everyone I know, have known or work with. It's amazing what you will discover. The book makes a lot of sense with regard to why and how sociopaths operate, how to spot them, and what to do when you know you have one in your life. With 1 out of 25 people being a sociopath, you will be sure to find yourself in the company of one or more already.
PS... if you are wondering if YOU may be a sociopath, you are not. Listen to the book to find out why. Mind blowing information.
"Gripping! A fascinating/scary look at human nature"
I debated on this one but gave it a shot, and I could barely break from it several hours later. This narrator does an excellent job of making this book as enticing as a suspenseful murder mystery. The material is excellent, and well arranged. The author uses sample cases to explain points and a finer understanding of details. She says 1 in 25 people are sociopaths, and then she describes them as they appear to themselves, to us, and their existence and effect on society as both the weirdo on the corner and the ruthless "successful" people in many walks of life that have left large marks on the history of humanity throughout time. Definitely worth the listen.
Retired CFO, Army wife, Mom of five, Grandma of six, two sons who served in combat, love to read books that reflect my values and faith, love mysteries, historical, military stories, and books that don't waste my time . . . if it doesn't have an ending that was worth the wait, I'm not a happy camper.
"What an EDUCATION!"
Wish I had read this several years ago, might have saved myself and my family some pain. It explains a LOT. This, to me, is the best audio book on the subject, as the others deal almost exclusively with the criminal psychopaths. It is scary to me that our society encourages and in some cases applauds this type of behavior now, which is also addressed in Ms. Stout's book. The recent admission by Lance Armstrong that he lied over and over and felt no guilt whatsoever, about his use of performance enhancing drugs, is an example. He even sued those who accused him of it. As I watched that interview on television, the lack of remorse on his face, so evident, I was reminded again of this book. Nothing is EVER their fault. Sad. Sad.
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
Wow, did I love this book. It was well written and well narrated. Not really at all technical, per se, it uses real life stories to illustrate the various characteristics of sociopaths. I have read in reviews that the reviewers saw the book as self-help. I would characterize it more as self-defense. Once upon a time, I had a colleague who was a complete scoundrel and who had hurt many people. I commented to one of my closest friends that what I could not understand was that I actually liked this scoundrel. My friend commented that amoral people often have that effect on us. This book helps us to identify those people. The book often reads more like one written by a science reporter than by one written by a social scientist. I am not complaining. On the contrary, it makes the book that much more readable. I think that the book helped me to understand the seemingly unfathomable why of what bad people sometimes do. Why are people sometimes totally insensitive to the feelings and needs of others. Why would one hurt another being for no apparent reason at all... not even for their own apparent personal gain.
Highly recommended.
"Good but a bit off-topic"
First, let me say there is a lot of good and interesting information in this book. I learned a lot of things about sociopathy from the author. That said, I have a few bones to pick.
The author goes off-topic. She does not just go a little off-topic, either, she starts rambling into areas that have absolutely nothing to do with her topic, much less with her thesis for the book. It almost seems as if she ran out of material and just started spening time adding filler to make the book a little bigger.
Also, it's hard to identify with any people in her stories knowing they are composite. Am I supposed to believe there were no examples of real sociopaths that would provide the examples she needs? If not, it kind of invalidates her points.
I gave the book three stars, but it easily could have been a much better book with some better editing, more succinct writing, and real examples.
I will add that Shelly Frasier did an excellent job of doing the narration, thouh.
"This is a very useful book"
I just bought the Audible version of this book after reading the hardcover book. This book is worth reading again! If you have ever been unlucky enough to have been involved with someone (authority figure, work colleague, child, marriage partner, etc.) who is a sociopath you'll need to read this book to help you understand what is happening, has happened and why.
It is particularly chilling and terrifying to see what is happening globally right now. When you read about the way "a lovable & charming" sociopath operates and what motivates him, you can better understand why we find ourselves in such an inexplicable, polarized and hateful mess both at home and abroad.
Knowlege is power and this book can empower us all - if we read it. Another illuminating must-read book on this subject is "Without Conscience, The Psychopaths Among Us" by Hare.
"Helped me understand troublemakers in my life."
A May 15, 2009 listener review says, "her tome quickly degenerates into a not-too-subtly veiled commentary on conservatism, Bush and the War on Terror (all quite sociopathic, apparently)."
Don't let this stop you from buying this book. I was still listening for this "not-too-subtle" commentary when the book was ending. The best guess I can come up with to explain where this slant was heard by the reviewer is the part of the book where Dr. Stout explains the usefulness of a sociopathic mind in a soldier in combat. This is true whether the battle is lead under a conservative or liberal government.
Don't read too much into your friends, family, co-workers, or acquaintances after finishing this book. After a second time through the book, I have a better understanding of what the Doctor writes and have removed some people from my mental list of possibles, but still have a former co-worker and (sadly) and sibling who still fit the bill.
I hope I'm wrong about one.
"Lightbulb Moment!"
This book was a great help to my family. If you have had dealings with a sociopath, and chances are, you have, you will be blown away by the similarities between your experiences and the composite examples from Dr Stout. Get ready for the goose bumps.
Addicted to Audible!
"Reinforces what you have already known"
I enjoyed the first half of this book. I found it very helpful in reinforcing what I already knew about sociopaths and learned a few things I wasnt aware of. As an RN for 33 yrs and just being alive for 53 yrs I have dealt with many who fit the bill and now understand them much better and feel better about my reactions to them. I ignored the political opinions - my husband is a General in the Army and I can't say there are any more sociopaths in his profession than my own.
A former globetrotting surf punk turned homeowner with ecclectic tastes. Classics, horror, crime, biographies or lectures? Yes please!
"Started strong...ended weak"
This started out pretty interestingly, although I thought her definition of what "conscience" influences seemed a little expansive...and I discovered why by the last third of this. She has far too few clinical examples, and then she devolves into why a Buddhist/Hindu global consciousness is the answer to sociopathy... Wow... Not interesting at all, not scientific and not well supported.
For instance, one of her early examples was that in traditional Inuit (if I recall correctly) society, which is about as communal as you can get, they pitched people like this off a cliff - THAT was their cure and treatment for sociopaths. Yet, somehow when she discusses that in east Asia the rates of documented sociopathy are low, it is not really considered that it might be attributable to something other "they have an ingrained communal, group consciousness"...like in the Inuit society...where sociopaths seemingly occured and where their solution was to pitch them off a cliff... Might these societies in Asia, at least socially, pitch sociopaths off a cliff? Well, that would be up to another author to examine, because this author is too busy using it as an open door to go on and on about the Buddhist or Hindu worldview. I felt like this book was a bit of a bait and switch.
The author was kind of like the person you meet at a party that initially sounds pretty interesting and intelligent, until you realize they think 9/11 was planned by Israel and the CIA...or that the last four presidents have been Reptile people... What few examples of her actual clinical experience there are in this book were very interesting and thought provoking...but trust me, there were very few of them.

December 11, 2013 —
The Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus), made famous by "Hedwig" the snowy owl that was a gift to Harry Potter in the popular book series, is not an owl normally seen in this region. They spend their summers breeding at the northernmost tundra regions of Canada and Alaska. Unlike most owls, snowy owls feed diurnally, or during the daytime. They have no choice in the arctic, where it's daylight everyday most the summer. Feather-covered feet and nostrils shielded by feathers are a few of many adaptations that this owl possesses.
As winter approaches, some snowy owls migrate from their breeding grounds and end up wintering in northernmost states of the U.S. such as New England and the northern tier of New York State (NYS). Once every few years, however, these owls display irruptive behavior (when they travel beyond their normal winter range) and are sighted farther south in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and southern NYS, including Long Island.
This fall looks like one of the more significant irruptions of snowy owls there has been for the past several years. Sightings during the last three weeks include areas of Orange and Sullivan counties in New York. Wintering areas favored by snowy owls are likely to be open fields in this region. Along the coast, snowys favor dune habitats, and there have been many sightings along beaches of New York and New Jersey. This species can be observed on the ground, in trees, or even on rooftops as they scan for prey.
A female snowy owl was rescued in Sullivan County during the first week of December and was turned over to the Delaware Valley Raptor Center (DVRC) in Milford, PA. It was found to be very emaciated (2.5 pounds, about half her normal weight). Bill Streeter, director of the DVRC, initiated treatment, but despite his valiant efforts, it died early this past Sunday.
Snowy owls weigh four to five pounds and are largely white; females have a little more dark barring. In a snow-covered field, look for what appears to be a mound of dirty snow; it may be a well camouflaged owl. If you see a snowy owl, stay in your vehicle if possible and resist the temptation to get too close. If the bird flushes, it is using precious energy it would otherwise use to hunt or to migrate; like eagles, minimum disturbance is crucial to this specie's wellbeing. Keep your binoculars, spotting scope, or telephoto camera handy, and with a little luck, you may spot one of Hedwig's friends this winter.

More TQ than HP???
I looked the pistons up on Summit Racings by the brand he gave. They list 3 with the -3.5 dome. All 3 the compression height is listed as 1.560 for the Speed Pro hypers.
The edelbrock performer intake i have is a dual plane. Also i have seen dyno results of the very same engine with a performer and air gap. The curves were almost identical but tue air gap made more peak hp.
The crank is a stock 350 crank and i do have rebuilder pistons. I run 91 or 93 octane regularly and have ran 110 leaded initially until i was comfortable with the setup. The calculators i have used showed something like 10.2:1 static and 9.67:1 dynamic.
The way i checked the quench was just a quick check since things were already together i used a dial indicator to get dead 0 and then used a straight edge and then roughly measured it.
I very much agree with you! Wjat do you think of the fast as cast trickflow heads i mentioned earlier? Would those be a good choice for this motor?
More TQ than HP???
Caballerokid, I use this website for informational purposes. CamQuest ? Select The Perfect Camshaft & Valve Train Components Checking cams with different heads,compression, carbs, etc. I found a cam similar to yours. It a Comp Cam 12-210-2, 1500-5500, .454/.454/ 218/218 LSA 110 ICL 106. When checking it on the dyno it made 310@4500 hp and 395@3500 Torque with low perf/stock ports & valves, dual plane intake-std flo, 600 cfm carb. I guessing your cam has about 295hp and 364 lbs Torque at the flywheel. Look on your dyno sheet to find out at what RPM you made the 250hp and 317 TQ. Changing heads to HP stock ports and valves, dual plane intake hi-flow, and 750 cfm carb, the increase is 368hp@5000 and 428 lbs Tq@ 4000. Pocket porting the heads increase it to 415hp@5000 and 442 lbs tq@ 4000. Now it might affect yours a little differently because of the 106 LSA and 102 ICL. If you was going to spend that kind of money get these: AFR 180cc SBC Eliminator Street Heads 0911 - SummitRacing.com or these: AFR 195cc SBC Eliminator Street Heads 1036 - SummitRacing.com or these: I would get these. Dart SHP Special High Performance Cylinder Heads 127222 - SummitRacing.com. Then dump that Crane cam and try one of these XE262H 12-238-2 or XE268H 12-242-2. Make sure to order the heads with the springs that will work with these two cams. I have been trying to warn you about your compression that it's too high even for aluminum heads with pump gas.
Thats a really cool tool to get an idea of how the cams perform. My problem now is that i'm looking at a 2k tab to gain 100-150hp... that just doesnt seem good enough. For that kind of money I can get a turbo LS setup started and making 500 or more hp. Hmm...
I have thought about that but I'd have to tear the motor down completely so I can cut the rings for blown/turbo application. I'm worried about that to even put a turbo on it because of that. Would I even really need to worry if I ran 5-10lbs? I don't think I'd want any more than that with the compression where it is already... I'm just trying to rethink my plan on this right now. I feel stuck.
If you're going to go through the trouble of increasing the gap on your rings I'd swap in some flat top or dished pistons while you're there. A good set of used pistons would work if you're careful.
Then again you could just swap your cam into a used stock long block, which you can often find for a couple hundred bucks.
More TQ than HP???
Yep! I never known anybody to build a small block for the street with dome pistons. They are for a race setup. To mill the dome would probably cost as much as another set of pistons if it could be done. Sometime the domes are hollow.
More TQ than HP???
I would not spend anymore money on the engine except to tune. You have a 4 speed transmission, I would spend some money on a set of 3.42 or 3.55 ring and pinion gears. Take it to a drag strip during test and tune to get some time slips. Post the info back here. I sure some one will have some answers comparing the time slip info and the dyno info as for why your hp numbers seem low. How is you timing curve set up? How much engine vacuum do you have? Check all of this to make sure everything is right.
Horsepower gets the groceries and wins the races- it's all the same even though the application is different.

Angelina Jolie's shocking announcement of a double mastectomy to prevent breast cancer has some island cancer survivors cheering.
They said it highlights a difficult, but potentially life-saving option.
Dorie Erlandiz doesn't have a lot of energy to play with her dogs, because radiation treatment has left her weak.
"I'm right on the boundary of being in remission," said Erlandiz.
It has been an emotional and exhaustive journey just to get to this point.
"My mother passed away last February, then I found out in May I had breast cancer," said Erlandiz.
Her mother Francis died from breast cancer. The disease then took a hold of Dorie, who was diagnosed with stage four cancer.
She was willing to undergo chemotherapy and radiation, but she was not ready lose a part of herself when doctors suggested a radial surgery to stop cancer dead in its tracks.
"My surgeon said, 'Why don't we do a double mastectomy?' At the time, I wasn't OK with that because I didn't know enough," said Erlandiz.
Click here to see celebrities who had had mastectomies.
Dr. Melvin Palalay, a medical oncologist, knows cancer and he wants to make sure his patients know about it as well.
"With more knowledge people can become more secure in terms of what to do," said Palalay.
Jolie's genetic testing and double mastectomy are part of a growing trend in medicine to find and fix problems before they even begin.
"This is the future of medicine. We're going to look at the human genome and how it affects lives. This is where we're going to go," said Palalay.
There is even a new term for those who take action to prevent cancer, instead of being called survivors they are called previvors.
Erlandiz has already lost one breast in her current cancer battle, but she also wants to take the preventative step of removing her other healthy breast.
"They say I don't need it to be done because of the possibility of the cancer re-occurring might not happen, but I will always have to worry and wonder if it is ever going to come back," stated Erlandiz.
The mother of four said she'd rather spend her time living her life to its fullest, with those who matter most -- her family.

Influenza (Flu) in Animals
Influenza viruses are clinically and economically important agents of disease in people, horses, pigs, marine mammals and poultry. Human influenza results from infection with influenza A, B or C viruses and a wide variety of domestic and free-ranging wild animal species can be infected with influenza A viruses. Aquatic birds are the natural hosts of influenza A viruses and represent a vast, global reservoir of influenza genes. Just as there is for humans, there is a flu for birds, horses, pigs and marine mammals and, as with people, some forms of the flu are worse than others.
Influenza in Swine
Influenza in swine is common and often only causes minor clinical signs of illness in pigs. Like humans, there is a flu season for pigs. Type A influenza viruses are common in birds and mammals, including pigs and humans. By monitoring and studying influenza viruses in swine, e.g., v.H3N2 and pH1N1, we can learn more about them so that better tools to diagnose them and vaccines can be developed as well as learn if a particular novel virus has evolved into a potential public health threat.
Avian Influenza
As part of the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza, which includes both avian influenza and human pandemic preparedness, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) works with its partners on the international and domestic fronts to help control the spread of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza. Learn more about avian influenza and what you can do to protect poultry.

Steph, Jamal/Q, TT..
the only qquestion for me is who is starting at sg
Who will be our starting pg? I've read some post' saying that they would prefer starting nate at pg, and pushing steph out to sg, and Q to sf. Some people wanna do TT sf, steph sg, and nate pg. Or Q at sg, Steph at pg, Jamal 6th man? Should we keep Steph at pg? There are also some people who don't know a thing about basketball and say someone like Bruno Sundov should handle the ball. What do you think?
Steph, Jamal/Q, TT..
the only qquestion for me is who is starting at sg
Stephon will be our starting PG just like last season and the season before that.
Nate will not be our starting PG because he has not experience to start PG in the NBA.
Jamal will not be our starting PG because he is not even a PG. He is a SG.
u cant even think about this question, its marbury even if u dont want to be he is
I wouldnt want to see anyone else start at pg besides marbury. Theres no chance of marbury playing anyother position and he will have his best year ever.
I don't think you want Marbury at the 2. He's as much of a creator as a scorer and more importantly he needs the ball in his hands. Maybe people see him as a Dwayne Wade, but he was a 2 in college who's better off the ball. At the 2 Marbury's a bigger defensive liability and he would still dominate the ball making the PG little more than a messanger who would bring the ball to half court for him. If he has a much more team first attitude, with more guys around him for which to create he should have a good year.
Steph is our starting PG. Nate will get 10 minutes per game and give us a spark when Steph is flat.
Q-Rich & JC will split time at the 2-spot. I'm sure one of the guys will get traded soon.
qrich will start. jamal will be a better sparplug off the bench.
nate, jamal, trevor is a real athletic trio comming off the bench, i think thats going to be really
tim thomas and penny hardaway shuold be traded, theyve got to have SOME value with contracts that expire at the end of the year. especially "tiny" tim.
did i hear that correctly somewhere that isiah wants to add ANOTHER power forward????? is that seriously true. how many do we have??? whats his problem. stop smoking whatever your smoking isiah, please. give sweetney a chance to show what hes got.
and if he gets antoine walker i will officially go ballistic. marbury, crawford, qrich, walker all on the same team??? the team will have chemistry issues DAY ONE. they each take 60 shots a game, and chuck stuff up at will from anywhere without any regard to their teammates.
Why don't we start TT at SG? He plays like a guard anyway, and he'd be better defensively if he were playing someone shorter than him every night.
The five would be:
1 - Steph
3 - Q-Rich
4 - Frye or Sweets
If we go with Frye, that's a tall, athletic front line with good shot-blockers and rebounders AND a match up advantage at SG almost every night, AND Frye gets valuable minutes every night.
I agree that LB wil probably start Malik at the 4 because he's so good defensively. So the backups might be:
1 - Yoda
2 - J-Craw
3 - Ariza
4 - Rose
5 - Sundov or Frye
Third team:
1 - Penny until he's dumped
2 - ? Lee? A good ball handler, former PG
3 - ? prob a PF out of position, like Sweets?
5 - Butler or Sundov (one or both will probably be cut unless the we thin out the PF's)
We'd be a better defensive team if TT got some minutes at SG. Thoughts?
this is a dum poll.....its like askin who is our coach.....i dont no who put jamal.....but marbury is our pg
I think Larry will be impressed by Nate abilities and will start him at point guard. Steph will be pushed to the SG, just like Larry did to Iverson in Philly. I just don't know who is going to start at SF, it its Q or TT.
I also think Jamal will be a good sixth man like John Starks, coming in and bringing some energy
Brown will not start nate.....Marbury is our pg
if he did that we would have a midget backcourt.....
and then we have both richardson and jamal on the bench(i doubt Q will start over Timmy) it wont happen not untill next year at least
Marbury hands down is the starting point, I'd be very surprised to see otherwise....
Before Mr. Tayor taught the world to play
Before fiber glass, before parque
Before the world Doctor was spelled with a "J"
And ballrooms were ball courts where the renissance played
Before hype and before the dunk
After the rythm but before the funk
It was only a ball, and the soul of the game
Bleed oRaNgE & bLuE, the only way to bleed

Freedom New Mexico
ABILENE, Texas — Senior center Audra Lively-Maxwell scored 24 points and grabbed 17 rebounds Tuesday night and Abilene Christian rallied from a 12-point deficit early in the second half to beat Eastern New Mexico University 73-65 in the Lone Star Conference South Division women's opener for both teams.
Junior forward Jamie Meyer added 17 points for the Wildcats (9-6 overall), while junior point guard Kat Kundmueller had nine of the team's 19 assists.
Sophomore forward Cat Clay hit 6-of-11 3-pointers and finished with 21 points for the Zias (9-10), who dropped their third in a row. Sophomore forward Til-Lois Fifer added 13 points, while sophomore point guard Tori Northcutt compiled eight assists with just one turnover in 38 minutes.
Clay's 3-pointer on the game's first possession gave the Zias a lead they didn't relinquish until several minutes into the second half. Fifer added a 3-pointer midway through the half to make it 22-11, and a 3-pointer by Northcutt and a basket by Karen Grant in the final 90 seconds put ENMU in front 39-29 at the half.
ENMU finished the half 8-of-12 from 3-point range while holding the Wildcats to 32 percent shooting from the field.
Fifer's rebound basket made it a 12-point game early in the second half, but the Wildcats went on a 12-0 run capped by Maxwell-Lively's layup at the 16:30 mark to tie it 41-41.
Jody Meyer's basket put Abilene Christian ahead for good and started a 7-0 run.
Four points from Fifer brought the Zias within two points, but ACU took off on a 9-0 run to open a double-figure lead. ENMU was unable to get closer than four points.
The Zias were 7-of-35 from the floor in the second half. They finished the game 20-for-69 from the field for 29 percent.

Im a little confused although i am in new territory so if i have got something blatentley wrong im soz but any help would be appreciated.
I have a shell script that i am able to run fine on the linux command line but i effectively want to run this script after the user submits a form and i want it to run in the background.
I thought as a stepping stone what i would do would be to put the required execution of script in a php file on it's own just to get a feel for how to do things but i have come up with some problems.
The php script i am running is ::
Code: Select all
$handle = pclose(popen('./AWR-analyze.sh upload/StevesCompany72ede6f3c97cc8850e5726bea8b49d83/aw*.txt > upload/StevesCompany72ede6f3c97cc8850e5726bea8b49d83/StevesCompany.csv', 'r'))
echo "done"
It actually works but "done" is not rendered until the script has executed.
Now i get really confused.
Although the script executes fine... ( it collates information from txt files to a csv ) .. It should also output the progress and results. ( which it does ono the command line ) If i run this on the command line there are status messages show as the files are processed and then a "completed successfully" comment.
Firstly, i want the script to run aside of the page processing. I think it's called running as a child.... but i also need to dump the results somewhere so that i can pick them up with another script.
As said. Im not entirely sure im completely on track so any help would be really be welcome.

Quarter of New York property value exempt
November 6, 2013 —
ALBANY, NY — According to a new report issued by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, more than 25% of real property value in New York is exempt from county, city and town property taxes. The total value of these exempt properties is $680 billion. The value increases to $826 billion for properties exempt from more than one type of local government or school district taxes.
"In an era of limited resources, the impact of property tax exemptions complicates the financial picture of our local governments," said DiNapoli. "In localities with higher exemptions, taxable property owners are often carrying a much higher burden. Local leaders will need to continue to find creative ways to offset these exemptions and must carefully weigh any decision to offer new exemptions. Syracuse is attempting to tackle this challenge head on and others can learn from its example."
Across New York, DiNapoli's report noted that the percentage of exempt property value ranges from less than 10% in several municipalities to more than 60% in others.
Towns have the greatest variation in terms of total exempt property value in the state, ranging from 1% in some communities to nearly 90% in others.
For counties, the highest percentage of exempt property value is in Tompkins County (40%), followed by Seneca (38%); St. Lawrence (38%); Lewis (37%); and Niagara (36%).

(Updated 4:20 PM) Activision/Blizzard announced it is dropping the in-development Guitar Hero game planned for 2011. The company is also disbanding its Guitar Hero division, best described by the company itself in the following statement:
"Due to continued declines in the music genre, the company will disband Activision Publishing's Guitar Hero business unit and discontinue development on its Guitar Hero game for 2011."
Activision was clear that there would be no music games from the company this fiscal year. That means no Guitar Hero, and no DJ Hero. During the investment call, the company also said it plans to lay off approximately 500 employees. But does this mean the franchise is truly dead, or will we see a newly re-vamped game in 2012 or 2013? According to Wedbush Securities' analyst Michael Pachter, a return of the Guitar Hero franchise is unlikely in the near future.
"I don't think it's going to be revamped," Pachter said. "It would only happen if there's a whole new console refresh, but if it's an Xbox 360 with a two-terabyte hard-drive and an 802.11 N, who cares? You don't need a new Guitar Hero for that. I think Guitar Hero is one of those things you don't need to buy more than once."
I've contacted Activision about this, but as yet, haven't heard back from the company on an official basis, but this blog post from Activision's Dan Amrich takes a different tact from Pachter's:
"For a while there I couldn't drown out the cries of gamers on forums, blogs, and Twitter saying GH should take some time off, and from all appearances, that's what this is. Step back, let it breathe for a while, don't make any major plans, and see what happens in the future. I'm very okay with that.
Chapter closed? Sure, okay. Book burned? I doubt it."
So what do you guys think? Is Guitar Hero, as a franchise, dead, or is it just sleeping for a bit?

Amazon's About to Pass Apple
I bet TheStreet contributor Robert Weinstein a beer that AMZN would hit $300 before $200. Then, after I wrote Amazon Will Beat Apple to $1000 , I received a whole slew of I'll betcha a beer cards and letters.
Harken back with me if you will. Check out some of the prescience in that September 2012 piece:
Amazon . . . provided Apple the succession plan shareholders weren't sure it had when Steve Jobs was ill. It goes like this: Amazon unseats Apple as the dominant force in tech and related spaces.
At several points over the last year, Apple stopped dictating the rules of engagement. As a result, Amazon will unseat Apple this decade as America's premier company, without being No. 1 in market share for any device. It doesn't even have to make money on hardware sales.
Crash. BOOM. Bang!
If you look toward the middle and end of the decade, there's a ton more uncertainty in Cupertino (can you say Apple TV?) than there is in Seattle.
As Apple sits on obscene amounts of cash, Amazon reinvests heavily in its business. It continues to roll like a perpetual startup with the appropriate mix of tunnel vision, natural ability, calm and reckless abandon.
Amazon doesn't live off of interest like a dying senior citizen. It riffs immortal as it makes the population reconsider the question of which tech company will rule the world.
Wall Street loves stable, well-oiled machines that don't miss. It will run AMZN to $1,000 on confident anticipation of a dynasty by the end of the decade.
Us literary types call that foreshadowing. Back in the old neighborhood we refer to it as the writing on the wall. The bell tolled for thee.
Hindsight really is 20/20. Clarity looks most clear in the rearview mirror. Because here we are with Amazon on the verge of another earnings report everybody will trash even as the stock rebounds, recovers and ultimately moves higher thanks to the faith Wall Street has in Jeff Bezos.
I was watching CNBC Wednesday afternoon. You know I love those cats -- to a person -- but they took the easy route, making the Cook-Bezos comparison. Should Tim Cook ignore Wall Street like Jeff Bezos does ? Ooh. Ah. But it's a bogus question. A gross misunderstanding of the situation.
Let's break it down.

The Cats got off to a slow start as the first quarter ended down 9-23.
The boys fought hard the second quarter and cut into the lead as they went into halftime down 32-26.
The third quarter was another slow one by the Cats as they were outscored 19-8.
These two slow starts proved to be the difference in the game as the Bobcats fell short 74-50.
Scoring for Refugio: Anfernee Friar 17, James Durst 12, Tyler Castellano 7, Cole Van Ness 6, Travis Quintanilla 5, Darrin DeLeon 2. On Tuesday, Jan. 28, the Varsity boys traveled to Goliad to take on the Tigers in a district basketball game.
The Bobcats played hard as they kept it close. Refugio ended the third quarter tied at 38.
In the fourth quarter, the Bobcats found themselves in a little foul trouble and allowed the Tigers to get to the free throw line.
However, a couple of missed opportunities by the Tigers allowed the Bobcats to stay in it. The Cats had one last opportunity down 54-52.
With just under 10 seconds, Refugio Bobcat Friar took the kick out from Tyler Castellano looking the hit a game winner.
Good defense by the Tigers forced Friar to pull it down and drive to the basket where he found a good look but the ball just would not fall.
The Cats fell 54-52. Scoring for the Cats: Frair 15, Durst 14, Quintanilla 12, Deleon 4, Castellano 4, Devon LaFrance 2, Robert Frazier 2.
