Buzzer Beater Bronze
It's what dreams are made of…landing the winning kick as time expires to win a medal on the world's biggest stage, the Olympic Games. But for first-time Olympian Terrence Jennings (Alexandria, Va.), he won't be waking up from this dream because he did just that on Thursday at London's ExCel Centre, winning a bronze medal in the men's -68kg division.
With the score tied 5-5, Jennings, 26, landed a three-point head shot against Brazil's Diogo Silva as the clock ran out in their bronze-medal showdown. But nobody was sure if the kick had landed before time expired. U.S. Coach Juan Moreno asked for a video review and the replay confirmed that the head shot landed before the clock ran out, giving Jennings the bronze.
Jennings started off his Olympic tournament facing top-seed and reigning world champion Servet Tazegul of Turkey. Tazegul, known for his spinning kicks, quickly put them on display as he landed two successive two-point back kicks to Jennings' body to take a 4-0 lead. But Jennings roared back, tying the contest at 4-4 with a three-point head shot just before the end of the opening round.
In the second round, Tazegul again landed a two-point spin kick to go on top 6-4. After both fighters were given simultaneous deductions, the score stood at 7-5 in favor of Tazegul after two rounds.
Jennings scored a point in the third to close to within 7-6 before Tazegul countered with a score of his own to close out an 8-6 victory.
"He's a good spinner and I got caught with a couple spin hook kicks inside," said Jennings. "I was trying to close them off but I need to do a better job in my next match. He's such a good and tough competitor, it was hard for me to beat him but in the end it was a good fight. It was a tough match against the world champion."
Said Tazegul of Jennings; "It was a close fight. I was a little bit unlucky to pick up such a strong fighter in my first match of today's competition."
After Tazegul advanced to the final, Jennings had a second life and took full advantage of the opportunity. He scored a 3-2 win over Ukraine's Hryhorii Husarov in the first repechage round, setting up his bronze-medal showdown with Silva.
"After losing the first match of the day I had to focus and make the bronze medal my gold medal," said Jennings. "The last two matches were about closing it out and being as efficient as possible. I gave up two shots at the end, but I fought to the last second and it paid off. I knew I made contact with his head I just didn't know if it scored before time ran out."
Tazegul would claim the gold medal with a win over Iran's Mohammad Bagheri Motamed, with Afghanistan's Rohullah Nikpah winning the other bronze medal.
In the women's -57kg division, 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Diana Lopez (Sugar Land, Texas) lost her first match in sudden death overtime to two-time world champion Hou Yuzhuo of China. Hou scored the golden point 28 seconds into the extra frame with a counter kick. Both fighters played a cautious game throughout regulation time, waiting for the other to make the first move, and the match ended scoreless after three periods forcing the overtime.
"I felt stronger than her," said Lopez. "It was just me going off the line and her tapping my chest protector. I was waiting on her motion and she was doing the same. I thought I played my game pretty well. It was an overtime situation, things happen. That's taekwondo. You never know what's going to score."
Lopez was also thrust back into the competition via the repechage round when Hou advanced to the final, but she lost her next match to Finland's Suvi Mikkonen, 9-4. After Lopez went out in front 1-0, Mikkonen scored two straight three-point head shots to take control of the match. However, Mikkonen came within one warning of being disqualified from the match for excessive penalties. She was given seven warnings (kyong-gos) for various infractions, an eighth would have given Lopez the victory.
"I tried my best," said Lopez. "I almost got her kyong-go'd out. They weren't calling the holding early on and that is how she got her two head shots."
Competition resumes on Friday with Steven Lopez (Sugar Land, Texas) in the men's -80kg division and Paige McPherson (Sturgis, S.D.) in the women's -68kg division.

Posted on 02/28/2006 7:41:17 AM PST by vrwc0915
At a time when money supply (link to Wikipedia) has been exploding and weekly figures provide a nasty experience week after week, month after month, the Fed put out a short, flat notice last Thursday, saying that it will discontinue publication of M3 figures after March 2006. Such a step may fit in the policy of the current Bush administration but certainly not a supposedly independent central bank. M3 is the most important money aggregate for economists, analysts and Fed watchers to get an idea at what speed the (electronic) printing press is running. The European Central Bank (ECB) honors this set of data with a special press release every month. So much about transparency.
GRAPH: Recent M3 figures are certainly unpleasant and worrisome. M3 has been growing at an annual rate of 7.5 percent or double the most recent rate of GDP growth (subject to a revision.) Since Bush took office money supply M3 has risen by 40%. The Fed prints it and the government spends it as can be seen by growing government participation in growth numbers.
I am still shocked and in a state of disbelief that gives place to being disgusted about the new style. What will be next? Discontinuation of industrial production figures below zero? The consumer price index (CPI) being treated as a national secret once it rises above 5% despite all hedonic adjustments? Torture threats against people insisting to get the whole picture?
US Investing Will Become A Fly By Night Adventure No! First comes the discontinuation of more important data releases. No more repo data, no more Eurodollar data, no more large time deposits. Investing will become a fly by night adventure. From the Fed website (saved locally for later reference):
On March 23, 2006, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System will cease publication of the M3 monetary aggregate. The Board will also cease publishing the following components: large-denomination time deposits, repurchase agreements (RPs), and Eurodollars. The Board will continue to publish institutional money market mutual funds as a memorandum item in this release. Measures of large-denomination time deposits will continue to be published by the Board in the Flow of Funds Accounts (Z.1 release) on a quarterly basis and in the H.8 release on a weekly basis (for commercial banks).
Take note that only publication, but not calculation of these figures will be discontinued. I strongly hope that Ben Bernanke will revise this decision, being an economist who knows that sound research can only be done on the basis of data.
Looking back into history economic data was only kept a secret in failing economies, e.g. the Soviet Union. As this data is published by the board of governors of the Fed every one of their words will have to be scrutinized most carefully in the future and tested for credibility. Words are easy, but I prefer hard data. No prudent investor will navigate his funds through a foggy world but lie at anchor below a clear sky, meaning: elsewhere.
Rounding up Keynesians and shipping them to Gitmo.
Americans always overreact.......bankrupting the country.
Future wars will be fought from home ........push the nuke button.
"Looks likes the terrorists are winning. Americans always overreact.......bankrupting the country. Future wars will be fought from home ........push the nuke button. "
Did you forget to tell everyone to buy gold?
Who is the author?
Buy SPAM, more likely.
It's as crystal clear as your tag line.
Key question. Where is "elsewhere?" The US economy is the best bet in the world, which is why we can have so much debt at so low interest. Yes, we've been spending like slightly inebriated sailors, but it turns out the Europeans and the Japanese have been spending like drunken sailors and have far less in the way of GDP growth to show for it. You could go to China or India in search of growth, but if you are looking for monetary stability, forget about it. You have to come right back here. Which is why we have no trouble auctioning off government debt by the trillions to foreign investors.
If you would prefer that your country's investments were less attractive to foreign capital, you could always move to Europe or Canada. The world is betting AGAINST them. I don't see any great advantage, given their double-digit unemployment and 50% GDP in government spending.
The prudent thing now is what it has always been. Diversify. Don't own cash, except what you need for your short-term needs. Own some bonds, some stock, some real estate, some gold, some investment-grade antiques. And avoid debt for anything except the acquisition of appreciating assets with positive cash flows. Then sleep well as the alarmists keep publishing the same tired charts they've been publishing for decades.
Remember, up until now every optimist in history has been right. Now place your bets.
Face it, NOBODY knows "easing the money market" like Helicopter Ben, the Printing Press Man!
No, thousands of years of hard economic reality are now making that case plainly enough.
The current ratio is now under 20. A blind man can spot what is coming next.
It's not time yet.
It's coming, but not yet. A few more pieces to put in place.

Will it be available from other sources?
Not releasing M3 on the excuse that no one uses it is a false statement. Many people use it. The feds just stopped using it because it makes the financial situation look bad.
This reminds me of Soviet statistics.
Secrecy is the killer of nations.
I have to tell you that as a financial professional and an MBA, I am not impressed with that blog, "The Prudent Investor." Anyone can start a blog these days, but that doesn't mean they know what they're talking about.
Possession is 9/10 and if you don't hold it you don't own it. Paper is useful to write on and for cleaning up when using the head
Just one last comment: I think the country is starting to suffer from information overload and major distortions of information because of too many uninformed and unprofessional news sources. Everybody thinks they're qualified to write about geopolitical events, politics, and economics, and not everybody is qualified. There's so much distorted, inaccurate information being tossed out by bloggers, radio shows, and especially left-wing activists. People write stuff in their blogs and publish it immediately on the web before they've even studied the issues. For example, Michelle Malkin is a great lady and very corageous but I don't think she understands this UAE port deal in detail and she's publishing commentary based largely on emtion without understanding that acquisition.
Could you explain? What is has to do with the publication of M3 figures?
I don't know about the M3 data. There may be solid technical reasons why it's not a good measure of money supply or it's not very meaningful. It may be a wise decision not to publish it; no information is better than distorted or meaningless disinformation. For example, the offical reported US "savings rate" doesn't include pre-tax 401K and IRA contributions, so it's a meaningless number and we might be better off if the government stopped publishing that number and invented a more accurate calculation of savings that includes 401K and IRA contributions.
I didn't read it in detail, but my first impression of that blog is that it has some overly alarmist, overly pessimistic editorials based on a lack of understanding of how our economy and financial system operates.
No, just don't publish meaningless statistics that amount to disinformation.
Captain Edward John Smith aboard the "unsinkable" Titanic.
I don't get the relevance of the first graph. I'd like to know the burden of servicing our debt on our budget, compared to historical debt burden. I bet it's low/average.
As a financial professional do you believe M3 is a meaningless statistic ?
PMs are at a stable high. Silver may cross $10 very soon.
Hahaha. That's great!
I'm just amazed that folks come on and DEFEND the stopping of publishing the M-3 data!
This is like a ship turning off the radar repeater in the passenger lounge, lest it frighten the passengers.
This is a stupid chart. It double or triple counts some debt. If you take out a car loan from GMAC and GMAC sells a bond to pay the auto seller, that debt is counted twice. And why no chart of assets? And why compare this debt number against a yearly number?
If I make $50,000 a year and get a 30 year mortgage for $200,000 my debt is now 400% of my GDP. Is that good or bad? I guess it depends on whether I want to sell you a big ass hunk of gold!!
I guess the rose-colored glasses pom-pom girls who pop up here are trying to sell a few more houses before the bust.
My point is just that this decision may not be the deep, dark government conspiracy that some think it is.
If there were nothing wrong with deficit spending, then there would be nothing wrong with continuing to report the M3 figures. Seems to me there's an off-hand acknowledgement floating around here somers.
...and freeze-dried, N2 packed food, guns and ammo.
Cause when this puppy comes down, it could get really ugly.
Remember the Scout motto: "Be PREPARED."
In the meantime, here's a little something some of the Founding Fathers left us to read covering how they TRIED to keep BRAVO SIERRA like this from happening.
Nobody will be laughing then.
I don't think you'd have enough to live on in that scenario after taxes, food, insurance, utilities, car payment, maintenance, etc. But give it a try and let me know how you're doing. I hope you don't have a family to support. Good luck!
"In the long run, we are all dead" is a fine philosophy...if you are a heartless and nihilistic creep who doesn't care about the lives his grand children will be forced to lead.
Well possibly if your time frames are long enough. But in normal-human years someone following your diversify strategy in 1928 might have gone from rich to poor as the stock and bond values dropped through the floor, anitques devalued as money dried up. At least their gold was good, until FDR siezed by executve order! Pessimists who thought Hitler was going to destroy Germany and acted accordingly (left country) did far better than those who were 'optimistic' when bad things started happening. History offers plenty of examples.
"If I make $50,000 a year and get a 30 year mortgage for $200,000 my debt is now 400% of my GDP."
Sure, but so is your asset holdings. That $200K is backed by a $200K house. What backs our national debt or currency? Nothing.
History repeats itself while the sheeple are blind.
The difference is, in your case you very likely have a future income stream that will increase more than your future expenditures, so that you can reduce your debt. You also likely have that now. Furthermore, you won't be borrowing $200,000 next year, or the year after, of any year into the foreseeable future. And you likely don't have a bunch of unfunded liabilities down the road.
In the case of the federal government, spending is increasing faster than revenues. There is NO plan to pay down the debt, or even achieve a balanced budget. They plan to borrow even more money next year compared to this year. And there are massive unfunded liabilites around the corner once the boomers retire.
I guess it depends on whether I want to sell you a big ass hunk of gold!!
Gold beats paper over the long haul every time. As for "selling gold", as least they are selling some tangible instead of passing paper around all day like "sophisticated" investors do.

Paul McCartney Continues to Have a Wonderful (Financial) Christmas Time
Dec. 23 2010 - 2:25 pm | 8,364 views | 0 recommendations | 2 comments
By ZACK O'MALLEY GREENBURG
Wonderful Christmastime
Paul McCartney's holiday gift to the world -- and to himself -- keeps on giving.
Christmas is still days away, but Paul McCartney has already given himself the gift that keeps on giving: The song "Wonderful Christmastime."
Released in 1979, the ditty was written, produced and performed by the knighted Beatle. He even played all the instruments himself. As a result, he receives royalties as a songwriter and performer, and doesn't have to share the pieces of this festive sonic pie with anybody else.
So just exactly how much money does the song generate per year?
"The song is what we in the industry call an evergreen, because it gets played all the time," explains entertainment attorney Bernie Resnick. "[McCartney's] publishing royalty check every fourth quarter probably has a lot of zeros on the end."
Another industry source puts the number in the $400,000-$600,000 range annually. By way of a back-of-the-envelope calculation, that means McCartney has seen about $15 million from the song since its release. That's a bit less than what McCartney earns in an entire year these days from royalties on songs recorded by himself and with Wings and The Beatles.
McCartney was likely motivated to record the holiday standard in part because of his disastrous financial experience with The Beatles. The group's first record deal with EMI paid out a measly penny per record sold, and though the group's members made millions, by most accounts they earned far less than they should have. A suit against EMI for $60 million in unpaid royalties was settled three years ago (the struggling record company may soon be up for sale; suitors include WMG, BMG, and possibly Apple or Google).
And with revenues from streaming music on the rise, don't expect McCartney's steady stream of earnings from 'Wonderful Christmastime' to dry up anytime soon.
"If you listen to 'Frosty the Snowman,' it sounds like it's from another century," says Resnick. "'Wonderful Christmastime' doesn't sound dated, and it's more than 30 years old. McCartney was smart because not only did he write and record the song himself, but he created a song that will stand the test of time."

Signal to Noise: UFC on FX 7's best and worst
From MMAFighting.com:
All the way from Sao Paulo, Brazil, we learned there's a Russian lightweight who is making a name for himself, a British middleweight who is ultra talented can't really win when it truly matters, and officiating in our lifetime is never going to improve.
Let's take a look back at Saturday's
UFC on FX 7: Belfort vs. Bisping
as we separate the winners from the losers, the best from the worst and the signal from the noise.
Most Sensational Reminder He's a
Vitor Belfort's
Head Kick KO
He wasn't guaranteed a title shot with a win over Bisping, but the manner of victory is making everyone rethink whether or not that's the right call. For the second time since dropping to middleweight, Belfort stopped an opponent in the second round with strikes. For the first time ever in his career, he did it by setting it all up with a head kick. In other words, he isn't just beating respected talent at 185 pounds; he's doing it by demonstrating there are new wrinkles to his game. He's doing things at middleweight he hasn't done before at least from an offensive perspective. The ease with which he reaches the smallest weight of his career also makes one wonder whether his legendary cardio deficiency or ability to be overwhelmed over time in a fight might also no longer be the serious shortcoming of his game we all thought it was.
I don't know who is next for
Anderson Silva
and there are still tough tests for Belfort before we can give him another crack at the top, but I'm more excited to see him try it than I was before. If he can continue to augment his game into his thirties, he's worth another look.
Career Most Likely to Take After Hater Memes:
Michael Bisping
I noted on Twitter after Saturday's main event I disliked trying to predict Michael Bisping fights. Several readers Tweeted me back wondering what was so hard about it. It's pretty simple, they noted: he wins everything but the most important fights. And in retrospect, they're absolutely correct. Bisping will be the UFC's most accomplished fighter to never earn a title shot unless something dramatic happens.
So why the difficulty in predicting the outcome of his fights? My own inability to make the correct choice, for staters. But beyond that, it's grappling with the weight of his limitations. Prior to this bout I believed he had a chance to overcome them because he was facing another fighter with fatal flaws and known weaknesses that actually dovetailed with his strengths. It also seemed like the narrative of his losses only happening when it truly mattered was overblown and the result of irrational Bisping dislike. Besides, the Brit can strike (in volume), scramble, wrestle and execute offensive of a range of levels. He also didn't display the same kind of mental fragility that has led to some of Belfort's own losses.
Ultimately, that didn't matter. The narrative of Bisping, however manufactured in its origins, is real. He really does lose when it matters most even if his skills and experience are considerable. Bisping's career isn't one worth hanging one's head about. He's done more than most will ever dream of accomplishing. But for the haters, critics and cynics, they were right even when some accused them of being mean, dismissive or wrong.
Best Reminder Nothing Is Ever Going to Change in Officiating: UFC on FX 7
We need to come to terms with the fact that in our lifetime, nothing is going to change in officiating. It's going to be bad and it's going to be bad everywhere. Perhaps the next generation of officiating talent will improve matters, but this one? It's hopeless. And we need to accept it.
We often hear the problem with judging or officiating is a function of poor experience or the wrong knowledge base. Either it's referees who've never worked a major show or it's boxing judges who were grandfathered in the MMA ranks. And while those problems are real, there's another reality everyone should be honest in facing: the current crop of experienced talent are hardly any better.
What we saw on Saturday were referees and judges with not simply several UFC events on their resume, but several
of UFC experience on the c.v. And what was the result? Incredibly poor stoppages, weird scores during decisions and a lot of the inbetween.
I do believe if the UFC took it upon themselves to certify judges under their own rigorous standards but were also certified by various state athletic commissions, that would improve performance. There are probably any other number of good solutions, not least of which includes the idea of the MMA community no longer looking at tenure as a measure of a referee's or judge's worth.
And that's really the core issue here. The majority of regulators don't think there's a problem or at least downplay the negative effects. Even if they believe the issue is problematic, there isn't much from a resources perspective they can do. Saturday was further a reminder tenure is positively zero guarantee of quality. In short: we are stuck. This is the reality in which we live and it won't change any time soon, if ever. Short of a major change now or a generational replacement (neither of which is a guarantee of anything), it wil not get better: not in Brazil, not in Europe, not in Canada, not in the U.S. Not anywhere. Welcome to this fresh hell.
Strongest Claim Staked:
Khabib Nurmagomedov
Jon Fitch
is one of the Russian's teammates at American Kickboxing Academy. He Tweeted after Nurmagomedov's victory that the Russian needed one more test before a fight with 'the sharks'. Ultimately, Nurmagomedov is his own man and apparently he wants Nate Diaz. Maybe he'll get the fight he desires. What I know for sure is that his performance on Saturday makes that conversation possible. Tavares has fought a formidable line-up of tough lightweights, but of all of Tavares' losses, this was the quickest in his career. There are still questions to be answered about Nurmagomedov, which is why I believe a fight with Diaz is premature. Regardless, he deserves a tough battle against a top-flight lightweight. More than anyone on Saturday's card, he proved was worthy of a step-up in the kind of fighter he has faced thus far in the Octagon.
Best Return From a Loss:
Edson Barboza
If there's a prospect where there's hope for something more but also a recognition that his development is going to take time, it's Edson Barboza. The hard-hitting Brazilian ran into something of a road block against
Jamie Varner
in May, losing for the first time in his MMA career and handily so. Beating
Lucas Martins
isn't about proving he's ready for the division's elite, but it is about getting back on the horse. He needs time to groom his skills and on Saturday, he needed to prove he was in no way psychologically derailed. Stopping his fellow Brazilian and doing so in the rather violent way he did will do wonders for his self confidence and buy him more time to bring his skills up to speed. It was also proof the setback against Varner was as temporary as we'd all hoped it to be.
Least Impressive as a Developing Prospect:
Ronny Markes
I want to like Markes more than I do, but he doesn't make it easy. He's a large, well-trained and athletic middleweight, but he never really applies those talents to stick it to his opposition. Markes isn't as bad as
Diego Nunes
, who fights in the most tactically-absent way I've ever seen at this level. He does have a purpose, but it's mostly about hanging on until something naturally happens. There's no urgency and little risk-taking even in a calculated way. If he is to move into anything even approximating a contender, he's going to need to step on the gas much more than he is now. All he's doing at the moment is coasting down hill with the car in neutral.
Most Questionable Value-Add:
UFC on FX
With the changes coming to FX, perhaps this question will be answered for me: what, precisely, is the point of having shows exclusive to FX for a UFC main card? As best I can tell, it's to make up for the shortcomings in putting shows on FUEL.
Initially main events on FUEL featured top contenders where winners were once offered title shots. None of that has materialized and for reasons that are obvious: not enough people are watching. To be clearer, few can watch. Yes, FUEL needs compelling main events to sell tickets, but it has to have the viewership to merit putting the winner in a place to contend for a title after the fact. That's especially true in the case of a new or up and coming fighter who isn't already well known to the masses.
FX can correct for that by placing fights on a bigger platform. And by being on FX, they are able to make use of already more established names in their main event. But the problem ends up being an event like Saturday's where it's basically a one-fight card. There were other talented fighters to be sure. The UFC has many of them and it's almost impossible for them to create a show where there are no takeaways of significance.
FOX shows are about turning top stars into PPV draws. PPV is about selling the brand and fighters on the biggest stages. FUEL is about frontiering with new locations and interesting, new talent. Yet, FX isn't really a middle grade between FUEL and FOX, minus the main event. Saturday's main event probably wasn't enough to push the ratings needle and is only correcting for what FUEL can't offer. It's a sophisticated way to rob Peter in order to pay Paul, but ultimately makes little sense for the UFC's purposes.

Families of kids with allergies should use environmental control measures that reduce exposure to the child's allergy triggers. Some require few changes in the home, while others can be costly or fairly time-consuming.
Talk with your doctor or health care provider about starting with environmental control measures that will limit those allergens and irritants causing immediate problems. But know that allergies develop over time with continued exposure to allergens — dust mites might not be a trigger now, but with continued uncontrolled exposure, could become one. The doctor may suggest taking precautions now so your child doesn't develop new allergies.
These are suggested environmental control measures for different allergens and irritants:
Cockroaches carry proteins that can trigger allergies and flare ups in many kids with asthma. To limit your child's exposure to cockroaches:
In some cases, the doctor may recommend allergy shots (immunotherapy) when control measures and medications are not effective. Ask your doctor about these options.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Fantastic organisationIn full: The organisation is fantastic, the Marshalls and aid stations all really supportive and friendly, great course, good quality technical tshirt and medal.... I don't think I can fault it. The guys that organise this should be very proud. Date of review: October 8, 2012
In short: Good potential but let down on the dayIn full: I guess new races always have teething problems, but this one had more than most, with the obvious being the wrong distance run. It did seem surprsing that they started the fun run at the same time, and the organisaiton at beginning and end was lacking. Having said that, all credit to Stoke Council for trying to introduce a new race, i hope they do it again, it does have the potential to be a real good event in the future and it does seem to actively want to encourage new runners and those of all abilities. Date of review: May 30, 2010
In short: Fantastic Race - highly recommendedIn full: Great race, good organisation, amazing views, helpful and friendly encouragement from marshalls (and fellow runners), and the occasional never ending hill. Highly recommended.Date of review: November 6, 2005
In short: Excellent, well organised eventDate of review: October 24, 2005
In short: Tough and rewardingIn full: Excellently organised race, good setting with very tough hills.Date of review: September 26, 2005

Most consumers aren't quite sure where to begin when they try to find and evaluate California home insurance. But we make that comparison process painless and far less complicated than it used to be.
A baseline understanding of begins with what it covers. Virtually all policies cover the structure of your residence as well as any other structures on the property. This would include garages, fences and sheds, for example. It also covers personal belongings, including the contents of your home: furniture, clothing and other items.
Unusual and valuable items, such as antiques, jewelry and computer equipment may well require additional coverage.
How much home insurance?
The amount of coverage is going to depend on many factors: what your home is made of, where it is located, its value, what personal property you have in it and other factors. You'll find lower premiums if your home has burglar alarms and smoke alarms. Carriers consider any security systems are helpful in reducing claims.
You are likely to need additional coverage for floods or earthquakes. Acts of nature are not always covered by standard coverage. Check to see what is necessary in your geographic location. If you live in a flood plane or a hurricane-prone area you will need to make sure you are protected.
But the most important consideration might also be your budget, because you simply cannot afford to have a gap in coverage.
Budgeting for home insurance
Budgetary considerations include how much you can afford to pay each year as well as how much you can afford in the way of deductibles or the cost of replacing what might be damaged. There is no general rule, you simply have to think through your own situation.
If your home is a condo, you do not own the building itself and are only responsible for any improvements and, of course, the contents. You do, however, need to check the association's master policy to see what is covered because not all association policies are alike and you do not want to be caught short should something happen.
Items that are more valuable will need to be separately scheduled, which means additional coverage. They might include jewelry, antique furniture, sound systems and computer equipment.
Personal liability is important in case someone is hurt or injured on your property and you are sued or have to pay medical expenses. This is the kind of protection you need but hope you never have to call on.

great product to reduce inflammation and relax. No magnesium stearate in it too which is good news as Magnesium stearate and stearic acid kills your T-cells.

Comments about Learning Resources Wild Word Adventure™ Early Language Game:
The game my husband and I played with our 7 and 5 year old children is called Wild Word Adventures! Shipping was very quick and packing was good! Set up for this game didn't take long at all. Play is simple, everyone picks a 3 to 5 letter word and as they go around the board they answer questions and collect letters to make their word. The first to collect all the letters for their word wins. We played a few times. My children didn't find the letter part at all challenging but the questions where good and made them think. For older kids I think it would be great just to use the question cards in circle time or what not. The board game is bright and there is nothing complicated about it. Choose short words or long words really depends on how long you want the game to last. The kids did not often get a question wrong making the games rather short. Who ever went first tended to win. Of course being creative and changing the rules isn't hard either and we like this option, specially with this game. I would recommend this game for preschoolers and maybe a little bit older. Be ready though to change some rules if your children find it too easy or get board of moving around the board in a circle over and over. -- I was given this product to review!

In this tutorial you will learn how to quickly create a database in CUBRID. If you use a Desktop version of the OS and prefer using GUI tools instead of a terminal, you may perform all of the commands below in CUBRID Manager.
To start with let's create a sample database. Type the following command in the terminal. This assumes that CUBRID is installed in your system (or see installation instructions). If necessary, replace sample_db with your own database name.
cubrid createdb sample_db
This will create a database in your current working directory with a user dba and a blank password. If necessary, you can set a user password at this step or change it later.
If you want to keep your databases in a certain directory, first navigate to that directory and then execute the above createdb command in that directory.
Once you have created a database, you need to start it before you try to connect to it.
cubrid server start sample_db
If you decided to use a command line terminal, you need to connect to a database to execute SQL queries. CUBRID provides CSQL command line SQL interpreter for this. Let's connect to a database.
csql sample_db -u dba CSQL Interpreter Type `;help' for help messages. csql>
Now create a table to hold users' data. SQL in CUBRID is very much same to that of MySQL.
CREATE TABLE "tbl_users"( "id" integer AUTO_INCREMENT, "email" varchar(100) NOT NULL UNIQUE, "join_date" integer NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT pk_tbl_users_id PRIMARY KEY("id") );
Copy and paste the above schema declaration in the CSQL and press Enter.
Now let's insert some data into the table using CSQL.
INSERT INTO tbl_users (email, join_date) VALUES ('email@example.com', 1328523265), ('firstname.lastname@example.com', 1328534265), ('firstname.lastname@example.com', 1328528265), ('email@example.com', 1323423265), ('email@example.com', 1328523665);
At this point you have learnt how to create a database and a table as well as insert sample data.
There can be several reasons why your database may fail to start.
hostname resolves (by editing hosts file) to the IP of your server (eg. localhost or 127.0.0.1). It is common that users forget to ensure this. Note that CUBRID doesn't support IPv6, which means your hostname should resolve to an IPv4 address.
data_buffer_size parameter value.

Of course, Rohini may have given me a parting gift in her maid when she moved to Hyderabad. We wait with bated breath for her arrival from her village.
So yes, things got better. Mahesh has taken a couple of days off work so that was one kid taken care off.
I spent the whole day shopping for their upcoming joint birthday party on Sunday and was bone-tired by the evening. But sharp at six, the little punter was found hanging to my leg. The movie! Let's go! You SAID you'd take me! And so we landed up at Pixion Studios in Bandra where a small preview had been organized. We met Kiran and her brat and caught up with them before lights were dimmed.
The movie is brilliant.
Little Stanley has no dabba (tiffin) during recess but plenty of supportive friends and a superb imagination. The back story is not provided conveniently to the viewer but you are left with a lingering sense of disquiet at what is happening at Stanley's home. Where are the parents? Are they dead? Where is he living? There are heart-tugging scenes of Stanley trying to fill himself up with water, his clothes getting dirtier and his appearance scruffier by the day. Finally the friends decide to call Stanley's bluff. Stanley offers a cock and bull story about parents having taken off in a plane. No matter, say the friends (super casting by the way), we will share our food with you till the prodigal parents return. But they also need to account for Khadoos, their Hindi teacher with the insatiable appetite who'd rather eat the kids' food than let them share it with Stanley. The kids outsmart Khadoos over and over till he finally loses his temper and orders Stanley to stay away till he can produce a dabba. Stanley stays away from school. His friends have no way to get in touch with him. The school is auditioning for a concert that Stanley would have been perfect for. The story builds towards the climax. But come on, I cannot really tell you how it ends.
The characters are all people we have bumped into. The pretty, considerate, amiable teacher that we all love and have a bit of a crush on. The nasty one that we want dead. The strict South Indian lady who teaches Science and never sees the lighter side of things. The principal with the immaculate accent. Yes, we have met them all.
One thing is clear - the people who have made the film seem to have insight into children and their world.
Adi of course found the whole movie very disturbing. Children are both blessed and cursed with such a huge suspension of disbelief. Nothing is implausible in the narrative. They can identify with the movie to the extent that they are in the movie. Hell, they are the film! Adi was Stanley, hungry (would you believe he ate six Parle-G biscuits while he watched the film, he has probably never eaten the same ever in his life...the only reason they were in my bag is because Raagu eats them....and then followed it up with wafers and then ate dinner after getting home?) It was a bit of a As God is my witness, I will never be hungry again moment for him.
He gamely kept up with the movie but then towards the end there came a scene where Stanley's uncle slaps him. The boy broke down completely. He bawled and sobbed and wept. I tried to explain things to him but he would have none of it so we stepped out of the theater to let the others watch in peace. Fortunately Amol's wife was most sporting about the whole thing and made Adi talk to 'Stanley' on the phone. Finally, he calmed down enough to be taken home. We missed the end but any film that can impact anyone so deeply is obviously made very, very well. The acting was pitch-perfect.
Watch it! You won't regret it. And if you have a fussy eater on your hands, take them along. They might just end up appreciating you and your cooking a lot more.

MIAMI, Fla. (June 28, 2009) – The U.S. Women's National Team, the 2008 Olympic Games silver medalist, notched a 25-19, 25-14, 25-11 victory over Mexico to improve to 3-0 in Pool A of the Eighth Women's Pan American Cup at the University of Miami's BankUnited Center.
The U.S., ranked second in the world by the FIVB, returns to action on Monday night at 8 p.m. ET versus Peru (2-1). Team USA is tied with Puerto Rico atop the Pan American Cup Pool A standings.
"Mexico is a good team and played hard tonight," U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon said. "They present some challenges for us and made us adjust and we were able to accomplish that."
Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa) scored a match-high 20 points in the three-set victory with 16 kills on 28 attacks, three blocks and an ace. Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) chipped in 11 points with seven kills on 13 swings, three blocks and ace. Jordan Larson (Hooper, Iowa) matched her total of 11 points with 10 kills on 23 attacks and a block.
Kristin Richards (Orem, Utah) provided seven kills and team-high 10 excellent receptions. Christa Harmotto (Aliquippa, Pa.) added four aces as part of her seven points. Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.) added three points to go with 16 assists and leading Team USA to a 43.8 kill percent. Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) led the defense with 10 digs to go with six excellent service receptions.
"Mexico dug a lot of balls and touched a lot of other balls off the block and made us adjust," Scott-Arruda said. "It is good to know that we can play in a variety of ways and win."
McCutcheon started Scott-Arruda and Harmotto at middle blocker, Richards and Larson at outside hitter, Metcalf at opposite and Spicer at setter. Davis served as the libero. Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) and Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) subbed into the match in all three sets.
Migdalel Ruiz and Martha Revuelta led Mexico with nine points apiece.
Team USA served eight aces to Mexico's zero and held a 9-4 advantage in blocks. The Americans had 42 kills to the Mexicans' 20.
In the first set, the U.S. jumped to a 7-2 lead, but Mexico rallied back to close to within one at 9-8. The Americans broke free from a slim 14-13 advantage with a 6-0 run on Spicer's serve that included an ace. Mexico closed by to within four at 22-18, but consecutive Richards kills gave Team USA set points at 24-18.
Metcalf produced an ace to give the U.S. its third straight point at 10-5 in the second set. Team USA stretched 10 points at 21-11 on six unanswered points as Metcalf provided another two kills in the turn. The U.S. closed out the set with consecutive points on Mexico errors.
Mexico stayed close in the third set at 6-4, but the Americans poured on the pressure with 13 of the next 15 points as Harmotto recorded all four of her aces as part of seven consecutive points at 19-6. The U.S. ended the match with a Metcalf kill at 25-11.
"Right now we are focusing on tomorrow and not looking ahead," McCutcheon said in reference to his 3-0 record and leading Pool A. "Our opponent tomorrow, Peru, is a good team and presents some good challenges for us."
Earlier in the day, Costa Rica (1-2) downed Guatemala (0-3) in three sets and Puerto Rico (3-0) swept Peru in a battle of previously undefeated team in Pool A. Dominican Republic pushed its record to 3-0 in Pool B – played at Florida International University – with a convincing sweep of Trinidad & Tobago (0-2), while Brazil (2-0) was pushed to four sets against Argentina. Canada (0-2) was idle in Pool B.
Pan American Cup pool play, scheduled for June 26-30, is a five-day, round robin preliminary to determine classification round matches. The U.S. Women's National Team, part of Pool A at University of Miami with matches at BankUnited Center, will compete against Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru and Puerto Rico in pool action. All U.S. pool matches are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET.

Tickets for each date of competition at the specific venue (either University of Miami or Florida International University) are $20 for reserved general admission, $12 for adult general admission and $10 for child general admission.

The top three NORCECA teams and top team from South America receive berths into next year's FIVB World Grand Prix. The top two teams from NORCECA, Brazil and the top remaining team from South America qualify for the Final Four to be hosted by Brazil.
Miami will be a busy location for volleyball the last week of June and first week of July. The 2009 USA Junior Olympic Girls' Volleyball Championships is being played June 26-July 5 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Typically, the tournament attracts 788 teams and approximately 9,500 athletes in addition to parents and relatives. A total of 19 championships are contested in age groups ranging from 12 to 18.

Evacuation of physically impaired
In cases of emergencies, those individuals with physical impairments, who are not on the ground floor, may need assistance with building evacuation.
Ambulatory Individuals
Ambulatory individuals are those with disabilities that may impair rapid building evacuation. Examples include those who are blind, deaf or whose mobility is restricted by the use of walkers or crutches. Assistance to ambulatory individuals can be provided by guiding them to a stairwell, waiting until a clear passage is established and helping them down the stairs to the designated meeting area.
Non-ambulatory Individuals
Non-ambulatory individuals are those with disabilities that require the use of wheelchairs. To assist these individuals, proceed as follows:
- Call MSU Police at 911 or 2222. Provide the dispatcher with as much information as possible, most importantly, the location of the individual.
- Move the impaired individual into the stairwell and await assistance if there is no immediate danger within the vicinity of the stairs. Send a runner to the building accountability area and report where the evacuation assistance is necessary.
- If the hazard becomes life threatening, move the individual into a room and close the door. If evacuation is deemed necessary, proceed according to the established plan. Immediately inform emergency personnel of the location of the non-ambulatory individuals.
- Signal the emergency responders whenever possible by hanging an article of clothing from a window to attract attention and gain assistance.

Why e-marketing communication is so important for your business or organization
I sat down with two members of the Westerville School board this morning to discuss the tough situation facing the district. Westerville is, like many communities, experiencing a financial crunch with decreased property valuations, delinquent tax payments and less money from the State. A levy to close the gap recently failed by a large margin (60/40) in a district that rarely fails levies.
"Rarely does the rumor mill
work in your favor."
What happened and what does it mean for me and my business or organization?
I believe the levy primarily failed because of lack of communication – basically lack of a marketing plan. Even though the district was experiencing financial hardships, no real information was communicated or marketing campaign launched until just before the levy. The information that was available was either hard to understand or high level. This resulted in people forming their own beliefs about the underlying issues and whether or not they would support the levy. Clearly this did not go the way the district had hoped. Rarely does the rumor mill work in your favor.
The moral of this story is take control of your brand and the information flow before the problem arises. You can accomplish this in a few straightforward steps:
1. Do not wait until the last minute to communicate important information. Whether its a change in policy, end of life of a product or service or needing more tax revenue, communicate as early as you so you reduce the shock factor. Have you noticed that no one blinks at the $3.00+ per gallon we pay for gas now? Do you remember when the price was climbing quickly to these new levels? It's all anyone could talk about. Now we just accept it as the norm.
2. Push information frequently and repetitively. A business blog (or organizational blog) is a great way to keep the flow of information – flowing! You may need to tell someone the same thing three or four times before it sinks in. I have heard seasoned public speakers say "state your main point at the beginning, in the middle and at the end". This is because repetition sticks with us and sometimes we just aren't listening the first couple times.
3. Be transparent. Nothing kicks the rumor mill into high gear like the perception of hiding or spinning information or facts. Most stories have two sides. Present both to your audience. Feel free to choose a side, but present them both anyway. Another way to enhance transparency is to invite comments and questions. (Think blog comments or posts to a facebook wall). Be sure to respond appropriately to all legitimate questions. Chances are, when a question is asked, many people have the same question in their minds. Respond with honesty and compassion and stop the rumor mill in its tracks.

I just finished watching an interview with mike myers. The day that george passed away mike myers had just finished shooting a scene from goldmember when he heard of george's death. He was devistated and was crying when he got a call from a private investigator who wanted to see him. It turns out that george's last letter was to mike asking for a mini me doll and saying how much he loved his movies. They had never met, but Mike keeps the letter in a frame and looks at it every day. He still can't believe that it was the last letter that george ever wrote. It was written about a month before he passed away.
I just thought that it was kind of a neat story.

Expert advice for controlling ADHD and fast mind traits
I always thought that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) was a kid�s condition. You�d often hear about it in the context of some kids complaining that their classmates got special permission to�what they claimed was unfairly�take their tests and SATs untimed. Recently, though, a galley for a new book due out in February crossed my desk. It�s titled�FAST MINDS, and written by noted Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Craig Surman and Dr. Tim Bilkey, founder of the The Bilkey ADHD Clinic for Women in Toronto. I learned that 4% of the adult population has full-blown ADHD and many more (10%) have enough of its traits to keep them from performing to the best of their ability.

Letters from the past
Exactly 71 years ago on this day, the Austrian-Jewish writer Stefan Zweig and his second wife Lotte committed suicide in a rented two-story house in Petropolis, Brazil. It was an event that sent shock waves through the world and through the German-Jewish emigre population in the Americas in particular. Seen as cowardice by some (most notably by Thomas Mann), the Zweigs' final act of desperation marks a dark episode in the history of those fortunate enough to escape Nazi persecution in Europe but not to face the day-to-day emptiness left behind by loved ones lost at home.
The past years have witnessed a renewed surge of interest in Zweig. His suicide has been the subject of a bestselling graphic novel in France and a feature film in Brazil; a new German biography has highlighted unknown aspects of his life; and new translations of his many works have made this once most translated author in the world again readily available to English readers.
But there is something the world has yet to discover about Zweig – that he's a Fredonian!
Not literally, of course. Zweig gained his bachelor's degree from the University of Vienna and went on to gain a doctorate in philosophy from this same institution. And although he traveled extensively, the closest he ever came to Western New York was the six months he spent in Ossining, where he drafted his autobiography "The World of Yesterday." But it is at SUNY Fredonia today where one of the largest collections of Zweig manuscripts and personalia in the world can be found. This is thanks to the efforts of a former Modern Languages Professor, Dr. Robert Rie, who convinced Zweig's first wife Friderike to sell the author's voluminous correspondence to the college in 1967 for the symbolical sum of $2,800. An additional gift made to the college in 1975 by Dr. Eva Alberman, the niece of Zweig's second wife Lotte, brought in a second load of letters that considerably enlarged the existing collection.
Visiting the Stefan Zweig collection, as I do every semester with the students in my European Literary Landmarks class, is truly a delight and a treat for the lover of art and history. The voluminous correspondence that Zweig kept up during his lifetime (it is estimated that he wrote around 20,000 letters) reads like a who's who of European culture and it attests to Zweig's unique position as a counselor and friend to so many of the early 20th-century's most significant artists and writers. Among the many highlights in the Zweig collection are three handwritten letters by the Irish novelist James Joyce (one of them asks if Zweig could help find a German theater that would be willing to stage Joyce's play "Exiles"); a postcard in ink by the painter Salvador Dali (thanking Zweig for introducing him to "Sigmund Froid" while in London); and one by the English novelist Virginia Woolf (telling Zweig that, yes, she would be happy to co-sign the birthday card that he has prepared for Freud's 80th birthday).
But it is the documents relating to the holocaust in the Zweig collection that invariably leave the strongest impression on students. Consider a typed letter by the Czech-Jewish author Max Brod, the close friend of Franz Kafka who "betrayed" him by publishing his writings posthumously. The letter dated 1939 is sent from Tel Aviv (where Brod had moved to escape Nazi persecution) to England (where Zweig had moved) and written in English because, as Brod writes in broken English, "I learn that letters in German are sometimes going slower and therefore I choosed (sic) English." Here, in this seemingly ordinary epistolary exchange, one encounters something like the essence of the "cultural" violence done to writers in the early 20th century: here are of two masters of the German language uprooted from their native surroundings and forced to communicate in a borrowed language that neither of them felt comfortable in.
By far the most sinister document in the Zweig collection, however, is an official Nazi document, complete with swastika in the lower right-hand corner, that was sent to Zweig's Austrian domicile in 1938. The document informs him of a special tax that the German state was levying on Jewish possessions of any kind, a little extra for them to contribute simply because they were Jewish. Documents such as this one make the Holocaust come alive in a way that no history book ever can; they are a must see for any high school student in Chautauqua County (and their teacher) learning about the Holocaust.
In order to honor the legacy of the SUNY Fredonia Zweig collection and of the enduring presence of this great Fredonian, scholar Robert Kelz (University of Memphis) will deliver the second bi-annual Stefan Zweig lecture. This lecture, which will focus on Zweig's 1936 trip to Argentina, will be held in Rosch Recital Hall March 19 at 7:30 p.m. The lecture is free of charge and open to the public.
