Despite a few complaints about zipper problems, reviewers consider the L.L.Bean Rolling Deluxe Book Pack's durability to be one of its best features. Safety features like the reflective strip on the front of the pack and reflective detailing on the straps are also praised. However, not every school allows rolling backpacks, and some parents say this pack is too large to fit in their child's locker. Many adults love it, though, for commuting or other activities.Pros
Well organized and spacious. The L.L.Bean Rolling Deluxe Book Pack has two main compartments, as well as a smaller front compartment and a tiny stash pocket. Reviewers say they use it for everything from middle school to college. Adults often use it for carrying materials for their business or hobby. Expert testers with Good Housekeeping say the handle sometimes sticks, and there are complaints from users that the zipper catches in the flap of fabric meant to cover it; one owner solved the problem by cutting the flap off. The Rolling Deluxe has a compression strap on either side to help cinch the load down. A few say it's too large to fit in their child's locker or that they'd like an exterior water bottle holder:
Versatile, but best on its wheels. At about 5.5 pounds, the L.L.Bean Rolling Deluxe Book Pack is about average weight for a rolling backpack, but it's significantly heavier than a pack without wheels. Kid testers with Good Housekeeping say that it's "extremely comfortable to walk with." Tuck-away padded shoulder straps are contoured for extra comfort and we found a couple of comments from those who like the ability to carry it as a regular backpack in highly congested areas, then switch right back to pulling it when space allows.
Expect it to last for years. Reviewers say that the L.L.Bean Rolling Deluxe Book Pack's fabric is tough, with abrasion-resistant ballistic nylon on the pack's bottom. A few owners comment on the zippers, which seem to be a weak point; those who asked L.L.Bean to fix the problem say they quickly received replacements or repairs. There are no complaints about the wheels, which is something that can't be said about many other rolling backpacks. It comes with a lifetime warranty.
Kid-Friendly Backpacks With Wheels, Editors of Good Housekeeping, Aug. 19, 2014
A panel of child testers finds the L.L.Bean Rolling Deluxe comfortable to walk with, and they say it's easy to open and close the compartments. The Rolling Deluxe is one of three recommended rolling backpacks for children.
2. LLBean.com
Rolling Deluxe Book Pack, Contributors to LLBean.com, As of August 2016
More than 230 owners review the L.L.Bean Rolling Deluxe, giving it a 4.5-star average rating. They generally praise its quality, durability and convenience, but it doesn't seem to be well suited for the elementary school-aged child for various reason. A few also say they would like a water bottle holder.

Talent agency CAA mulls Silicon Valley office
By Peter Lauria
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Creative Artists Agency, the largest talent representation firm in Hollywood, is considering opening an office in Silicon Valley to expand ties with the technology community, according to two people familiar with the firm's plans.
CAA, whose client roster includes Brad Pitt, Oprah Winfrey and Peyton Manning, wants an "on the ground presence" in Palo Alto, these sources said. An outpost in Silicon Valley would help ease the travel load of CAA agents, some of whom already shuttle between Los Angeles and Palo Alto, California, three or four times a week.
Currently, the agency's business in Silicon Valley is divided into three: advising tech companies about Hollywood, partnering with venture capital firms to incubate start-ups and matching clients who have digital media ideas with companies that can help bring them to fruition.
Having regular contact with tech executives will also give CAA the opportunity to sign them up for representation on the speaking circuit and other endeavors outside of technology, both sources said.
The agency already represents Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, former Facebook executive Randi Zuckerberg -- the sister of Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg -- and other tech executives through its CAA Speakers division.
The plans under consideration by CAA underscore the idea that software developers and computer engineers are the new creative community and tech executives -- not media moguls -- are the rock stars of the business world.
A representative for CAA declined comment. One of the sources said CAA is extremely methodical about its business plans and is likely to "proceed very slowly" with any proposal to set up its own shingle in Silicon Valley.
"They aren't going to put up a big building with signage on it and dispatch a dozen agents to the Valley," this source said. "It'll be much more of a subtle presence." Continued...

Crazed Fan Rushes Demi Lovato on Stage: Watch Now!
Posted Friday April 27, 2012 11:52 AM GMT
Overcome with a bit too much excitement, a forceful fan's unwelcomed rush of the stage forced Demi Lovato to stop her concert in Paraguay Thursday night (April 26).
Always accommodating to her show-goers, the "Skyscraper" songstress had just allowed audience members to move closer to her performance area when the overly-ecstatic girl jumped up and held Demi in an embrace.
Quickly becoming a madhouse, other crowd members followed suit, prompting security to rush the area - and leaving Miss Lovato to make a run for backstage.
Putting on her best professional face, the talented pop star later returned to the stage, telling fans to "chill out." Wow!

Technical Abstract: Recently, we observed that N deprivation may enhance degradation of the atrazine ring and the pyrimidine moiety of cloransulam-methyl, with little effect on degradation of the homocyclic ring for the latter. To extend this work to the organism level, we coupled DNA-based stable isotope probing (SIP), adapted for use with 15N-labeled substrates. Assimilation of 15N by pure cultures produced limited change in buoyant density (BD), ranging from 0.013 g mL-1 (M. luteus, GC = 72%) to 0.015 g mL-1 (E. coli, GC = 50%), however, using gradient fractionation, followed by comparing T-RFLP from fractions of labeled and control treatments increased sensitivity for detecting 15N-enriched DNA. This approach enabled us to detect 9 OTU fragments when 15NH4SO4 treatment was compared to unlabeled NH4SO4 in soil, and an increase in BD (>0.0035 g mL-1) of 16S rRNA upon exposure of Pseudaminobacter sp. strain C147 to side chain 15N-atrazine (25 mg L-1) in culture. Using soil from an atrazine spill site, we observed nearly 60% mineralization 14C-ring atrazine over a 25-day course. Comparisons of T-RFLP data between samples of this soil treated (maximal field application rate) with 15N-labeled and unlabeled atrazine revealed upward shifts in BD associated with specific fragment sizes, suggesting label incorporation by these particular organisms. Our results demonstrate utilization of atrazine side chain N by a subset of the total soil population, and provide an approach for examining regulation of that process by combining molecular tools with process level measurements.

The 1996 snowstorm and flood
The pictures in this slideshow show a 1996 blizzard that transformed into a devastating flood. Snow melt and cracking ice surged down the Susquehanna River, demolishing the historic Walnut Street Bridge in Harrisburg.
On Jan. 7 and 8, 1996, 21 inches of snow accumulated in the Susquehanna Valley and it didn't stop there.
On Jan. 9 another 2 inches piled on top. Then on Jan. 12 another 11 inches fell, adding up to 35 inches of snow in one week.
Temperatures then increased dramatically. Here, drifting ice chunks threaten the Market Street Bridge.
Just 10 days after the record snowfall, temps hit the 50s and 60s. One to two inches of rain then fell on top of a deep snow pack. The results were disastrous.
A 122-car freight train ground to a halt along the river when ice and water flowed over the banks, pinning it against a hillside.
Chunks of rushing ice steamrolled the New Cumberland Boating Club, splintering buildings and turning them half way around.
Witnesses reported the Susquehanna River's record rise -- in some cases citing a 9-foot increase in 10 minutes.
Keep clicking through this slideshow for more images of the 1996 snowstorm and flood.

This article, "Engine sells results, draws fire" in CNET dates back to 1996, a time when people were warming up to search engines. Summarising the article, the search engine OpenText initiated the paid search business model to finance their business. OpenText's Preferred Listing service aimed at highlighting businesses, services and products when users searched for relevant keywords. The article then goes on to say that the company drew a certain degree of flak aimed at their integrity and business ethics. The searching masses did not want a commercialised version of their search results. But, this was 1996.
Fifteen years and more than a billion searches later, what started off as OpenText's Preferred Listing has evolved into an industry that caters to one of the most preferred tools in a marketer's inventory – search engine marketing (SEM). As with anything worth its weight, the journey to the spotlight hasn't been easy. Non-believers and skeptics aside, SEM was earlier seen as something that could be explored through leftovers from the marketing budget.
Over time, results, return on investment and a skyward sales graph all aided by the rapid progress and penetration of technology has helped shape search engine marketing into a $20 billion industry.
Shortly after Open ext, GoTo.com, a major search engine at that time, pioneered the paid search business model by introducing the pay-for-placement model. GoTo.com succeeded in deciphering the maturity of the search market.
GoTo.com soon introduced the auction (bidding) process for ad placements on the search results page. The advertiser would get charged the bid amount each time his ad was clicked by a user. This soon caught the eye of many advertisers who saw the value in relevancy and did not hesitate to pay up to a dollar per click.
Search engine marketing as a mainstream business was slowly taking shape. Under the umbrella were other techniques of leveraging search engines for marketing such as search engine optimisation. The pay for placement model evolved into the pay per click (PPC) model that encompassed other digital advertising avenues such as display advertising, content marketing, and placement techniques.
Since the beginning of the last decade, things started getting busy for the PPC industry.
GoTo.com later went on to change its name to Overture and, in 2003, was purchased by search giant Yahoo! to add muscle to its paid search marketing wing. The year 2000 saw the arrival of Google into the search marketing scene with the Google AdWords program that saw mostly limited success until 2003.
Ask.com followed with its PPC services in 2005 called Ask Sponsored Listings. Soon after, MSN.com followed suit in 2006.
Owing to click fraud, PPC advertising saw a downfall during its initial stages. The nodus was at times automated bots generated a huge number of clicks on a particular PPC ad, thereby costing advertisers huge losses. Presently however, the PPC ecosystem has evolved enough to reduce the impact of click fraud on advertisers.
As businesses with deep pockets started adopting PPC models to reach their marketing and sales goals, it soon turned out to be the primary source of finance for search engines.
Search engines now provide search engine marketers with access to analytics, trends and keyword tips that add the edge to relevancy. Most digital marketing firms now have teams that specialise in search engine marketing management. In-depth campaign analytics provided by major search engines help teams derive the best possible bid amount, placement and ROI for a PPC campaign.
Various tools have also been crafted by independent PPC businesses to enhance and sharpen their strategies. As search engine houses evolve their search algorithms, PPC methodologies are also evolving to give advertisers more than just the desired return on investment.
So what about the future of SEM? Well, smart SEM campaign management and foresight can help do more than influence purchase decisions. Reputation management and communication is turning SEM into an integral tool for marketing-communication specialists. An example to help you understand – ever since the spill, record amounts of money was reportedly spent by BP trying to clean up their act through Google SEM. They used Google SEM to buy keywords, which when searched for, revealed ads that linked to more transparent information about BP's efforts to clean up the Gulf of Mexico disaster. Brands are thus using SEM as a way to clear the air.
Very often, multiple unique messages need to be communicated to the audience about a product. This direction of their communication can very easily be communicated through SEM compared to traditional means.
Thanks to evolving search patterns, SEM is turning out to be more behavioural based. This means brands will have to strategise on keywords, bid on keywords and keep an eye out for events that can aid relevant correlation. As a result, a concept called remarketing is taking shape that will link a person's digital behaviour to the ads that are exposed to him.
In my following columns, we'll have a look at emerging SEM trump cards such as remarketing.

GENEVA, Sunday—On Friday afternoon I had to leave for Paris with my son and daughter-in-law, since on Saturday I had to do a full day's work there on various radio interviews to be sent back to the United States.
We dined with M. and Mme. Monnet on Saturday night and lunched with my friends, Mr. and Mrs. James P. Hendrick, so we managed to have a very pleasant time in spite of the fact that we had to accomplish a great deal of work. The last time I was in Paris for the day I was fortunate enough to see the Place de la Concorde all lighted up at night, with all the fountains playing. This only happens on Saturdays and Sundays, so I looked forward to being at the Hotel Crillon Saturday evening and seeing this really lovely sight again.
I also drove along the Seine and stopped to take a long look at Notre Dame. It was late afternoon and the light on the beautiful old church was enchanting. I would have liked to visit my favorite Sainte Chapelle but I knew it was too late and we could not get in. The beautiful glass of the Sainte Chapelle makes it, I think, the most perfect jewel of all the small churches. Anyone who loves Paris in the springtime will feel as I do that the chestnut trees in bloom are an unforgettable sight.
A little American girl came up to me as I was leaving after a late session of the Human Rights Commission the other afternoon, and as she shook hands she said: "I am an American and I rather miss the United States over here."
I didn't hear just what she said and it wasn't repeated to me until she had gone on her way. But I wish I had taken it in sooner, for I can very well understand that even if she is having a good time over here, spring would make her homesick. The very beauty of the flowers and of Geneva itself—or even of Paris, for that matter—makes me long for the sight of the flowering dogwood trees at home at this season and the tulips and the lilies-of-the-valley which must be blooming in my own garden by now. I wonder if the lilacs are out as yet and if their fragrance scents all the walks around our cottage buildings. I saw the first lilacs for sale on the streets here the other day, but I actually haven't seen them blooming in the big hedges anywhere as yet.
I went to lunch with a friend the other day and was greeted by such a friendly little Scottie dog. He made me homesick for Fala and Tamas and I hope that they will not have completely forgotten us when we get home at the end of almost six weeks.
We have been fortunate in the weather. Everyone says it is a cold and late spring, but I expected from past experience to have a good deal of rain. On the whole, however, the showers have been few and far between and we have had absolutely no difficulty on any of our air trips thus far. I hope our luck holds until we are actually back in the United States.
I got back to Geneva on Sunday. My son and his wife have flown back to the United States. It has been a great joy to have them with us, but there are only two weeks more in which to work on the Covenant of Human Rights and any of the other items that must come up on our agenda, so I have a feeling it is as well that most of the radio and television work is now at an end. If we have to have night meetings I shall not object, though it is not a prospect that any of the members of the commission really enjoy, because it is hard to do good work and give full attention to speeches during three long sessions a day.

Many might snicker at the thought of putting "LA" and "style" in the same sentence. "LA style is often dismissed as jeans, T-shirts and Uggs, but there's so much more to it than that," says Melissa Magsaysay, author of the new book, "City of Style." "Throughout history, there have been several styles that started in Los Angeles, which have gone on to influence and affect the entire world," Melissa says. "Think about skaters, surfers and Old Hollywood, the city really harbors its own canon of looks and it's something to be celebrated and enjoyed by everybody."
Here, Melissa breaks down some of the styles covered in the book, the celebs who have made them famous today, and how to get a quintessential LA look:

Nicole Richie defines the eclectic modern day hippie. She loves a light and airy silhouette and doesn't shy away from hair accessories, piled on jewelry and print on print dressing. A few essentials when trying to channel Richie's luxe Lady of the Canyon vibe are: a wide brimmed, floppy hat in a warm brown or light tan, a long floral print chiffon dress (preferably with a high 70s style waist line and wispy sleeves) and great, vintage inspired jewelry that incorporates earthy stones like amber and turquoise.

Rachel Bilson and Kate Bosworth are your poster girls for the Casual Chic look. They love fashion and high-end designers, but don't give in to every single trend out there. They translate the trends they do love to fit the more casual vibe of L.A, pairing an Isabel Marant sweater with Goldsign jeans or a Helmut Lang blazer with a Current/Elliott chambray shirt. Get this look with a few key pieces including: A pair of wide leg jeans (worn with chic ballet flats) or cropped skinny jeans (worn with little ankle booties), a flirty mini dress that's short but tasteful (this could be a classic LBD or something with flounce. Temper it by throwing on a faded denim jacket over the dress) and a classic long sleeve striped shirt that can be worn preppy or playful if paired with bright colored jeans and layered necklaces.
CHOLA STYLE: Who can forget Gwen Stefani during her Chola style phase? Or the way people like Fergie and Kat von D have channeled the Chola look for their performances (or in Von D's case, her everyday look). The history behind the style is rich and extremely interesting and it's certainly more than just black eyeliner and baggy pants. There's an attitude and strong sense of pride that comes along with the it. Once you've got that part nailed down, here are some suitable sartorial staples: Black gel or liquid eyeliner (the line does not have to be extreme or exaggerated. The precise black line is a hallmark of the style and can be tweaked to suit your personal taste.) Work wear inspired pants a la Dickies have that tough tom boy quality and when worn with a simple white, black or gray tank top, you've got the foundation for the look.

No one captures this style like the "adorkable" actress Zooey Deschanel. Anyone who loves '50s and '60s style vintage pieces has a little of this look in them. Try wasp waist short dresses that come in a retro pattern, pair them with flat, lace up oxfords or stack heel shoes and an orange-poppy red lipstick to punctuate the quirky style.

During Christmas of 2013, I was in Kmart Supercenter in Memphis Tn. when i was informed by a sales associate about a program called Why not lease it program. Interested in saving money, I went to the customer service desk to get more information about this program.
After standing in line for almost 15 minutes, I was redirected to yet another line and was told that i would have to apply for a line of credit to see how much I would qualify for. In doing so, I qualified for $800 of instore credit through the Wht not lease it program. I spoke with sales associate and was informed that that amount or less had to spent in Kmart before the expiration date printed on the bottom of the receipt. I was also imformed that the amount spent would be the amount i had to pay back.
Well, I was able to get my kids the things they wanted with a little money saved. I was very thankful!! I understood that the payments would be taken from my checking account bi-weekly, on the assigned dates setup by WNL program. In agreement to the dates and the amount to be electronically deducted from my account each month, I was very shocked when I discovered that my account would be electronically drafted for 18 months unless I paid the WNL program an extra $350.00, whoch is what is called a buy out amount.
I contacted the WNL program and was told that my account would be drafted each month for $105 unless I couls pay the buy out amount or until the end of the 18 month term. I was under the impression thaat the assosiates were not knowledgeable of the program or they were told to mislead customers about the payment plans. I was also told by a representative that i could either pay the buy out amount or i could return all the items. So rude!!!!

The absorbing, bitter drama of the life of Australia's richest family will resume in Sydney today, after last-minute wrangling over a key change in its exclusive cast.
The civil action John Hancock and sister Bianca Rinehart are pursuing against their mother, mining billionaire Gina Rinehart, was delayed for the appointment of a new trustee for the A$5 billion family trust established by their grandfather, Lang Hancock.
In a surprise move last week, Gina Rinehart offered to step down as trustee in favour of a new head of "lineal descent". The case was adjourned yesterday to allow a decision to be made in mediation.
But Rinehart's un-named preference has not been accepted by her children, who have objected to any move to have their younger sister Ginia appointed to the job.
Rinehart has in turn objected to Hancock's candidacy, although Hancock's lawyer, Christopher Withers, told the Australian that West Australian mining magnate Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest had sworn an affidavit supporting his bid.
The titanic struggle for control of the vast fortune has been gripping from the start, pitting three children living on borrowed money against the legal battalions employed by Rinehart, worth an estimated A$17 billion ($19.3 billion). One of the three, Hope Welker, has since been forced from the action by crippling finances. Ginia Rinehart has taken her mother's side.
At stake is control of the Hope Margaret Hancock trust set up in 1988 by pioneer WA miner Lang Hancock, naming his four grandchildren as beneficiaries and installing Rinehart as trustee after his death.
Hancock reportedly had intended that John and Bianca would through the trust control the huge Hope Downs iron ore mine in WA's northern Pilbara region, which Rinehart owns in partnership with Rio Tinto and which supplies much of her wealth.
But two years ago Rinehart announced, on the eve of the vesting of the trust, that she intended to delay the vesting date until 2068. By then her children, if still alive, would be in their 80s and 90s.
John, Bianca and Hope launched action in the New South Wales Supreme Court, challenging her role as trustee and accusing her of "gross misconduct" as trustee.
In court documents her children also accused Rinehart as acting "deceitfully" and with "gross dishonesty".
Rinehart struck back with a legal barrage that for much of their dispute forced them to keep silent, and threatened them with bankruptcy through a crushing huge capital gains tax liability.
Hancock later received advice from the Tax Office that no tax would be due on the trust vesting.
Rinehart also cut her children off financially, withholding trust income that should have given each almost A$400,000 in 2011-12. She said the money was withheld as a lien against their "malicious" action.
Hope withdrew, but John and Bianca have continued on borrowed money, running up legal costs of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Rinehart insists she was acting in the family's best interests, claiming in documents tendered to the court that the children were selfish and spoiled and not equipped to run the trust.
Last week, Ginia Rinehart unsuccessfully tried to have the trial switched to private arbitration.

|The Age home > Realfooty > Article
Geelong faces a critical three-week period that will shape both its on-field fortunes and its financial bottom line. "It's crunch time for everyone," chief executive Brian Cook said after yesterday's 45-point loss to St Kilda left the Cats in 16th place, with one win from their first five games this season, and two from their past 11.
The next fortnight will be particularly testing, starting with Sunday's game against reigning premier Brisbane at Skilled Stadium, before a daunting trip to Perth to play West Coast, unbeaten at home this season.
Geelong could conceivably take a disastrous 1-6 record into the round-eight visit to Sydney.
Having been diligent in reducing their once-crippling debt, the Cats have budgeted to finish sixth in a season in which they had been widely tipped as a big improver.
So far, strong corporate support and a membership figure only about 800 below a target of 23,800 had provided something of a financial buffer, Cook said, but the situation could worsen dramatically if the on-field performance does not quickly improve.
"It's certainly not fantastic for us at the moment, being one and four, but that's up to the coaches and the players to look at that in the first instance," he said.
"In terms of budgeting, there's no difference at this stage compared with where we thought we'd be; the issue of what happens from here is the major one.
"If we keep losing it will certainly affect us. If we start winning a few games, we should be OK, but if we don't win a few games, it's going to be a problem for us."
Coach Mark Thompson said the capitulation to St Kilda was not his team's worst of the season - that dubious honour rests with the round-one loss to the Bulldogs - but his disappointment was as palpable as at any stage of a year he said had been "pretty tough all round".
Thompson summoned his leadership group, including captain Steven King, Ben Graham, Brenton Sanderson and Peter Riccardi, to a separate meeting after the general post-match address, concerned that the sins of the senior players were affecting their younger teammates.
Yet Thompson said he had little choice but to persevere with the likes of Graham, whose game the coach described as "just another downer". Asked whether the time was nigh to make a call on several of his senior players, Thompson said: "No, I wouldn't have thought so, because they're the only ones we've got left as senior players.
"(We) just need them playing well and how I do that is the art of coaching. That's my job."
Of the meeting, he said: "I just wanted to have a chat to them, because they're a fairly important part of where we go and how we handle this and what happens from here in the future.
"I just think they've got a big effect on the psyche of the whole group and that it's important for them to be stable and to set a good example on the field."
With an eight-day break, compared with St Kilda's six, Geelong had trailed by only one point when King kicked the first goal of the last quarter, only for St Kilda to kick the last seven.
The Cats' trend of last-quarter fade-outs has this year been defied only by last week's stirring finish against Melbourne.
Thompson said there was no need to adjust his pre-season targets. "I don't have that many goals or aspirations to make the eight or to do anything special, I just want to play the best footy we can play and we've certainly got a big game next week against Brisbane and another one backing up over in Perth against West Coast, so I'd like to win another game soon."
St Kilda coach Grant Thomas praised his team's perseverance and said the challenge was to carry the momentum into Sunday's game against the Bulldogs. "It was a really important game for us to win," he said.

Morgan Stanley to cut 6 percent of securities unit staff: sources
By Lauren Tara LaCapra
(Reuters) - Morgan Stanley (MS.N: Quote) plans to cut 6 percent of its institutional securities staff starting this week, two people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday, the latest sign of a pullback on Wall Street as revenue from trading and deal-making remains in the doldrums.
Combined with related job cuts among support staff, Morgan Stanley's workforce reduction will amount to 1,600 people, said the sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
Morgan Stanley chief Executive James Gorman has pledged to reduce costs, and said in July that he planned to reduce overall staff at the firm by 7 percent in 2012. The new job cuts - which target sales, trading and investment banking staff as well as workers who support those operations in areas like technology - come in addition to that plan, the sources said.
"This continues the steady drumbeat of negative news from banks," said Greg Cresci, a Wall Street recruiter with New York-based Odyssey Search Partners. "It's hard to tell where the bottom is, given how many banks have made similar announcements."
For the past two years, Morgan Stanley and other banks have been dealing with a revenue drought in their trading and investment banking businesses as activity remains weak, particularly in once-lucrative trading areas. New regulations that ban certain kinds of trading or make it more costly are also prodding banks to exit businesses and reduce staff.
Morgan Stanley's latest cuts come in addition to workforce reductions that took place or were announced last year across the industry.
Its main rival, Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N: Quote), cut 700 jobs during the first nine months of 2012 as part of a plan to reduce annual expenses by $1.9 billion. Analysts expect the firm's compensation pool to be much lower in the fourth quarter.
Citigroup Inc (C.N: Quote) announced plans last month to cut 11,000 jobs, including some in investment banking and trading, to save $1.1 billion in annual expenses. Credit Suisse Group AG CSGN.VX is also cutting securities jobs to reach an annual cost-savings target of 1 billion Swiss francs ($1.1 billion), while UBS AG UBSN.VX said it would cut 10,000 jobs and exit the fixed-income trading business amid losses and new regulations.

What to Do When Your Company is Gearing Up for Layoffs
There are thousands of companies not only cutting positions and consolidating job responsibilities, but also closing their doors forever. The failing economy took so many people by surprise and left many people out in the cold. Employees who are in a state of denial and believe that their place in the organization is solid, need to come to the realization that everyone is replaceable.
Be Aware of Warning Signs
If your company has experienced a crunch in business, it could be a sign that jobs will be eliminated. Your best bet is to have an updated resume ready and waiting in the event that this happens. Once you see staff members going out the door, you could be next, regardless of what your boss may be telling you. The last thing a company wants is to lose all their good people at once, so many times they will pace the layoffs to ensure things still run smoothly.
Your resume is a crucial part of a new job search and trying to prepare the document yourself can be a huge mistake. It may seem that you can save money by writing your own resume, but in the end, if you don't have an effective resume and cover letter, it may limit your chances for a rewarding career opportunity. Imagine that you have one shot at the job of your dreams and you don't have the best possible representation of your academic training and employment history. A professional resume editor knows how to bring out your most significant accomplishments and consolidate your experience and training to show a prospective employer exactly what you have to offer.
Start Looking for a Job Before You Need One
Keep a close eye on the job market and be ready to apply for a new position when it arises. Sometimes employers will simply be hiring to replace a key employee, so be sure to do your research and keep abreast of companies that are doing well and making money. The last thing you want to do is jump from one employer to another and create a "job hopping" reputation that could potentially harm your chances of securing certain opportunities. Companies like to hire people who have longevity with past employers because it shows a pattern of stability and proves their time and efforts in training won't be wasted when hiring new staff members.
Maintaining confidentially is another important point to remember. If you decide to test the waters and get into the job market, don't share this with your co-workers who you believe are trustworthy. When it comes to jobs and money, it isn't in your best interest to confide in people within your organization. When layoffs are looming, if your employer gets wind that you may be looking, they can easily target you as one of the first people out the door since you are probably leaving anyway. To them, your actions may indicate a disloyalty and they really lose interest in doing all they can to help you keep your position.
Be ready for a change and don't get caught without a plan for your future. Only you can be the one in charge of your own career destiny.

We always heard that green is now in the mainstream but I guess this makes it really, really official if MTV is now producing videos geared towards environmentalism and even has its own green site called MTV Switch, which is the network's Global Climate Change Campaign.
"It's all about seeing things in a different light–a green light. You'll find clever ads, interesting videos, and tips from Environmentors. We'll be looking for the best ideas and innovations that can help us reinvent how we live in ways that are cool for us and the planet."
Here is one very interesting video from them forwarded to me by the biofuel blog guru Simon Robinson. The video attacks businesses (which seems to be more focused on the energy, manufacturing and chemical industries) as well as politicians and celebrities who just greenwash their way into either making profits or to get public approval.
The lesson here, according to the red (that turns green) angry blob with the smoking head, is to make the world healthy again starting by changing your lifestyle.

First off, really glad to see someone step up and speak for my opponents as Selfish Man was building a really good team until he left.
So let's look at the matchups:
Line 1: My first line has everything you'd want in a 1st line. You have the glue guy in Thomas, the playmaker in Taylor and the goal scorer in Sheppard. Thomas will also score some goals. I expect Taylor to have his playmaking skills on full display during this series and set up plenty of opportunites for Thomas and Sheppard.
For my opponents you have a line of Herb Cain, Viktor Shuvalov and Carson Cooper. Cain is the goal scorer here, he was an impressive one in his day, scoring 30+ goals twice in a low scoring era. Shuvalov was a good team guy, often playing a defensive game and helping out the defensemen on his team. Carson Cooper is another fine player. This line is like my 1st line and will score plenty of goals. There is a lack of a playmaker on this but other than that it's a fine 1st line.
Line 2:
Much like my 1st line, my 2nd line offers everything you'd want in a line, you have your playmaker in Stillman, a goal scorer in Kuhnhackl and a glue guy in Koroll. Stillman was drafted because of his playmaking abilities but he reads as a determined player who will be a locker room leader for my team. Kuhnhackl's an interesting player. Called the best German to ever play hockey, he is credited with keeping German hockey afloat during his career. He even led the 1984 Olympics in scoring with 14 points in 6 games, I expect Kuhnhackl to have a quieter role on a more talented team but he should be fine. Cliff Koroll won't score as many points as Kuhnhackl or Stillman but I expect him to provide the glue on this line and chip in offensively from time to time.
My opponents offer up a great 2nd line as well. Slava Kozlov is one of my favourite players and I find him under-rated. That said his physical game while alright is still not above average and it could hurt him against tougher opponents. Golonka, on the other hand, is a great all around player and was a fitting choice for your captaincy. He's like Kuhnhackl and did wonders for his country in the field of hockey. I expect those 2 to match up well against 1 another. Vincent Lukac rounds out the line. Myself and MadArcand drafted Lukac in my first MLD and I remember being impressed with Lukac back then. Like Golonka he never played in the NHL but he played quite well for teams in Europe. This line could use a true grit guy but other than it's fairly equal to my 2nd line. Our top 6 are almost mirror images of the other.
Line 3:
In drafting my 3rd line I drafted 3 guys who where noted 2 way guys. Brunette is noted more for his playmaking abilities but he plays an adequate defensive game and should be fine here. Kelly Kisio is one of those heart and soul guys that can do it all on the ice and help the team win hockey games. Tony Granato will be the goal scorer on this line but I also expect him to play a good 2 way game. Granato was noted for his dedication and feistiness throughout his career.
My oppontents offer more of a defensive 3rd line. Radek Bonk was drafted to be a dominant scorer but didn't pan out that way but this Ottawa fan remembers how good Bonk was defensively, he's a very solid choice for a checking line. Brian Skrudland was on my short list when I picked Kisio. Skrudland's a defensive player first and foremost and may not chip in much offensively, Skrudland also had a knack for taking bad penalties so watch out for that. I question Loui Eriksson on a checking line. The guy's developing into one of the better pure goal scorers in the league but I don't know how much of a defensive game he has. Your 3rd line has 3 decent players but all 3 of them have a weakness which may hurt them and cost your team.
Line 4:
We took different approaches to our 4th lines, I went offense with goal scorers Vail and Guryshev and playmaker Havlat while the Hornets went defense with Drake, Zezel and Kallur. Both approaches work as all 3 of my guys are good enough offensively to make up for any shortcoming they have defensively and Kallur was good offensively and both Drake and Zezel should chip in with the odd goal. I actually like my opponent's 4th line better. Drake and Zezel are good 4th liners in this and Kallur is a good 2 way guy. The 4th lines should not determine who wins this series though.
I'll be back tomorrow to compare the team defenses and goaltending but I look forward to more comments from whoever's looking after my opponent's team right now or any of the other GM's.
Still at work but we're slower than Jason Allison now so I might get time to compare the 4th lines before I get off work.

Josh McDaniels happy with performance of Patriots offense against Rams
|10.30.12 at 8:05 pm ET
For the Patriots offense, Sunday represented one of the high-water marks of the 2012 season. Against the Rams, New England was able to put up 45 points (the second-best point total of the season), post 300-plus yards passing and 150-plus yards on the ground for the second time all year and score touchdowns on its first five possessions. All that was punctuated by the fact that quarterback Tom Brady wasn't sacked for the first time all year, and you could understand why offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was happy with the performance.
But on a conference call with reporters Tuesday afternoon, New England's offensive coordinator said there was still room for improvement.
"When you go into any week you hope to put together a plan that gives your guys a chance to go out there and execute and play fast and hopefully be productive, and then [when] the players go out and play the way they did it always makes you feel good," McDaniels said. "There definitely, certainly [are] things we need to do better and we can improve on. I would say [there are] plenty of things over the course of any game that you can do better."
McDaniels said one of the things that impressed him the most about New England's offensive effort was the fact that the Patriots adapted some defensive looks they hadn't seen before.
"I thought our guys did a good job of executing against some different looks that we hadn't seen," he said. "St. Louis presented us with some different challenges that we hadn't necessarily seen before, but our guys followed their rules and reacted and executed even so and I think that's a good thing and we need to do that on a consistent basis. It's something that we haven't necessarily done each week for four quarters and that has to be a focus for us going forward."
McDaniels said that no matter the opponent or the situation, the goal of the offense is always the same.
"Coach always tells us that on offense, we go out there for one reason and one reason only — and he's he's 100 percent right — and that's to score touchdowns," he said of the offense, which scored touchdowns on six of its 10 possessions on Sunday. "That's a simple goal that takes a lot of hard work, preparation, communication and execution to make a reality each week.
"I thought we took care of the football [and] we maintained a good balance between our run and pass game," he added. "We really have been focusing hard on a lot of the situational plays and had some good production on third down, red zone, two-minute offense, those types of things. When your players go out and play the way that our guys did for the most part, it definitely makes you feel good."

My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching. Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck.
14 Driving Convictions Fuel Global Outreach at Bethlehem:
- God's goal in creation and redemption is a missionary goal because our God is a missionary God.
- God is passionately committed to his fame. God's ultimate goal is that his name be known and praised by all the peoples of the earth.
- Worship is the fuel and the goal of missions.
- God's passion to be known and praised by all the peoples of the earth is not selfish, but loving.
- God's purpose to be praised among all the nations cannot fail. It is an absolutely certain promise. It is going to happen.
- Only in God will our souls be at rest.
- Domestic ministries are the goal of frontier missions.
- The missionary task is focused on peoples, not just individual people, and is therefore finish-able.
- The need of the hour is for thousands of new Paul-type missionaries, a fact which is sometimes obscured by the quantity of Timothy-type missionaries.
- It is the joyful duty and the awesome privilege of every local church to send out missionaries "in a manner worthy of God" (3 John 6).
- We are called to a wartime lifestyle for the sake of going and sending.
- Prayer is a wartime walkie-talkie not a domestic intercom.
- Our aim is not to persuade everyone to become a missionary, but to help everyone become a World Christian.
- God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him; our satisfaction in him is greatest when it expands to embrace others—even when this involves suffering.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
It's a big week for the Black & Gold, as the Bruins (16-8-4) aim to climb the Eastern Conference standings, beginning tonight with a trip to Buffalo to take on the Sabres (12-14-4).
The B's face a busy stretch of their schedule in the next week or so, with four games in the next six days, leading off with a set of back-to-back road games in Buffalo and Montreal. They've been able to take at least a point out of all six December games thus far, with a 4-0-2 record this month. Boston's coming off a disappointing overtime loss to the high-flying Flyers, 3-2 Saturday at TD Garden, a game they lost with just three seconds left in the extra session.
Buffalo also fell in their last contest, dropping a 5-2 game to Pittsburgh on Saturday. The loss was their first in regulation in their last five games, a stretch that has seen the Sabres go 3-1-1 in that time. Despite their recent success, their early-season struggles still have the team on the outside of the current playoff picture, eight points behind Boston and Tampa Bay, who occupy the seventh and eighth spot in the East, tied with 36 points a piece. Boston, however, does have two games in hand over Tampa Bay, and Buffalo for that matter. No team has played fewer games than the B's in fact, but that will change with their busy upcoming schedule.
Because these two squads squared off just eight days ago, there isn't much in terms of new information I can share with you. But that doesn't mean the well is completely dry… here are a few pre-game notes that you can memorize and impress your friends with later during the game…
– Tonight's game marks the third of six meetings between these two division rivals. The Bruins have won the first two games this season, 5-2 on November 3rd and a 3-2 overtime win last week on Tuesday.
– The lengthy drama of the Marco Sturm trade has finally reached its grand finale. The Sturm deal was made official yesterday when the German-born winger passed a physical with his new team, the Los Angeles Kings. This completes the trade that sent Sturm to the left coast in exchange for… well, nothing. Not even a bag of pucks or a few new sticks. We'll have to see what "future considerations" means down the line, but for now, the trade gets the Bruins under the salary cap, which was the ultimate goal for GM Peter Chiarelli.
– The B's had Sunday and Monday off before a full team practice Tuesday at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington. The team also had full participation in a morning skate today at HSBC Arena, a practice that saw Tuukka Rask be the first goalie off the ice, which usually indicates that he will start in net this evening to face off with the Sabres. Rask, who is 2-6-1 this season with a 2.51GAA, last saw action Thursday night in the 5-2 win over the New York Islanders.
– Goaltending for Buffalo is led by U.S. Olympic hero, Ryan Miller (10-8-3, 2.41GAA) who is back to full health and back to top form. Backing Miller up is Jhonas Enroth (2-2-1, 2.90GAA).
– Forwards Derek Roy (9G, 20A) and Thomas Vanek (13G, 12A) lead the offense for Buffalo. Vanek is on a hot streak as of late, riding a three-game points streak, with four goals in his last five games and 18 points (9G, 9A) in his last 15.
– Buffalo could get some reinforcements back in their lineup this evening, with some talented players possibly ready to return from various bumps and bruises. Tim Connolly (groin), Drew Stafford (upper body), and Rob Niedermayer (knee) all practiced with the team earlier this week, and all could see action tonight for the Sabres, with Connolly and Stafford more likely to go then Niedermayer. Shaone Morrisonn, out with post-concussion symptoms, remains out of the lineup for Buffalo.

Another possibility is to use the -lincomest- package together with the -parmest- package. The -lincomest- package is a version of -lincom- which saves the results as Stata estimation results. And the -parmest- package saves estimation results in an output dataset (or resultsset), with 1 observation per estimated parameter, and data on parameter estimates, standard errors, confidence limits, P-values, and other parameter attributes. These can then be converted to tables using the -listtex- package or the -listtab- package.
I hope this helps.

Subject: st: Table with lincom output?
Hello everyone.
I have run a series of lincom commands and I'd like to organize the
output in a table. I just need the point estimate and se (which I know
you have access with r(estimate) or r(se). So I can save these as
scalars. But I cannot find how to organize them in a simple table. The
esttab doesn't seem to be able to do this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank You.

A Will to Win
The finale of the Beaver State Fling was yesterday at Milo McIver State Park in Estacada, OR, just outside of Portland. Mother Nature was cooperative all weekend, as the rain that crushed the area weeks prior ceased just in time to finish over 200 hours of mowing, turning the overgrown jungle of the east and west Riverbend disc golf courses into a pristine venue, more than suitable for a weekend of National Tour golf. Co-tournament directors Jeff Mittl and Jeff Hagerty and their amazing team of volunteers and staff once again treated the players to one of the most exciting and well-run events of the 2013 National Tour Elite Series presented by Vibram. As the battle for the Drive for the Championship nears an end, players were anxiously seeking a way to climb to the top of the standings.
The Grandmasters and Masters divisions finished just as we thought they would, as Jim Oates cruised to a 16 stroke win with a final total of -14. He was the only player in his division to complete the tournament under par, as his closest competitor, Marcus Roberts, finished at +2. Ken "The Champ" Climo won with ease as well, as his consistent play earned him a nice check and another win at a large event. The race for second in the Master's division was a good one, however. Jay "Yeti" Reading started the day a few shots in front of San Francisco's Patrick Brown, but Pat would put the pedal to the metal early and often. The west course at Milo is a true risk vs reward style track, and if a player is hitting all of his lines off the tee and making putts, some serious ground can be gained. That is exactly what Patrick did in the final round of the weekend. He finished the round at 10 under par, catapulting him into second place, a mere one stroke ahead of the four time world putting champion Reading. Teresa Embree won the Women's Masters Division, while Steve Lee took home the Senior Grandmasters win.
In the women's division, Sarah Cunningham played smooth and solid all weekend, and waltzed to a victory over Paige Pierce by 4 strokes. Sarah shot lights out all weekend, and just when Paige would gain some ground, Cunningham would drain another birdie to put her further into the lead. Paige summed it up at the awards ceremony when she stated, "I thought I played pretty well this weekend, but Sarah didn't miss any putts at all." By consistently making putts from inside (and outside) of the circle, and dropping forehand drives right where she needed to be, it is clear that Mrs. Cunningham is a force to be reckoned with on the NT circuit. She finished the tournament with an impressive total of one over par, which was very close to 1000 rated golf on some very difficult courses. The round of the day belonged to Valarie Jenkins, shooting an unbelievable 59, or two strokes below par, landing her in a tie for third place with another world champion, Des Reading, at +8. A consummate professional, Valarie thanked the staff and volunteers for a job well done, and her competitors for driving her forward throughout the weekend.
In the Open group, Will Schusterick began Sunday on top by two strokes after being pushed by Nate Doss and Dave Feldberg in the round prior. The fireworks began right away, as it appeared that Will was having trouble finding the bottom of the basket with his putter. He missed a few putts early, and the gallery was starting to wonder if this would be Feldberg's year (he has finished second in this event several times in the last few years). Local hero Nate Doss also made a charge early, and at one point during the round all three men were tied at the top. Never count out last year's Player of the Year Ricky Wysocki, however, who was also making a move. Additionally, from the second card, a buzz was swirling that Adam Hunt of Oklahoma was making a serious charge for the title. After 11 holes, Hunt was -9 and threatening the lead card, as they watched him drain big putts right in front of them. Going into the last few holes, it was still unclear who was going to win until, on the difficult par 4 16th hole, Will was buried in the rough after his approach shot came up short and he had to straddle to his right from his knees just to find a look at the basket. He floated his birdie putt around a branch right into the center of the chains, and with a huge fist pump and a roar of appreciation from the gallery, found himself with a three stroke lead with only two to play. From there, he cruised in with pars for the win, just two in front of Nate, who birdied the last hole to put him in sole possession of second place. As Will's last putt fell into the basket, he stretched his hands toward the sky, elated with his victorious achievement.
Next year, we will see Milo again for the Beaver State Fling, and the 2014 professional World Championships, but for now, we will have to rest on the fact that this particular venue has played host to some of the most exciting and dramatic finishes in recent disc golf history, and it provides a setting that is picture perfect and next to none. Kudos to both of the Jeff's (Mittl and Hagerty) as they have once again set the standard for how an NT should be run. The players look forward to it every year, and it is obvious why. For a complete listing of the results, click here. Check out photos from the weekend on Flickr, and be sure to watch the season finale at the Vibram Open at Maple Hill at the close of the summer. Until then!

What the hell man. Teams lose. They lost a hard faught battle. It was a great game for both teams; win or lose. I said that during the 4th quarter of that game and stand by it. I'm pleased with the outcome, of course, but accept the loss and move on. This is why I will do something I.vowed to never ever in my life do....root for Baltimore to win a Super Bowl.
i agree more with ur sentiment im just saying i could see toads point
What I gather from those comments is that he thinks that if they played the way they're capable, they would have won the game. To me, any other interpretation is a major reach.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
The media might as well have asked the ball boys the same question, for they have as much as an importance on the 49ers team as Williams does.
Giants fan since the early 80s
Honestly, I thought I did read something about the NFL reviewing the game tape and clearing of us from any wrong doing (no head shots, no after the business shots, etc.)
Whatever. It's just another whiny Niner *****.

Great icons…using them for a social media presentation. They are perfect because I say that LinkedIn is a cocktail hour, Twitter is the water cooler, and Facebook is the bar.
