Those of us who work in the field of customer experience are especially hard hit by the passing of Steve Jobs. He symbolized the power of experience — how much a great experience can transform a product, a business, an industry, and even our daily lives.
Do you remember personal computers before the mouse, how you bought and listened to music before iTunes and the iPod, or how many animated films you watched in theaters — with or without the kids — before Pixar?
Steve Jobs even changed the way many of us think. If you own an iPhone or an iPad, you've probably found, as I have, that you don't bother to memorize very much anymore. Why should you when you can dig up facts anytime, anywhere with just a few taps on a touchscreen?
Now please don't get me wrong: I don't idealize the man. For one thing, many people contributed to the success of everything I just mentioned. And not all Apple experiences are perfect, and Jobs didn't succeed at everything he did (remember the NeXT Computer?).
But to go cynical is to miss the point, or more specifically, the point of view — the one that makes Jobs an icon for customer experience professionals. He put it out there when he famously said, "You've got to start with the customer experience and work back to the technology — not the other way around."
Frankly, "the other way around" is how most companies still operate. Not just technology companies but firms in every industry. Someone has an idea (maybe great, maybe not), and that turns into a product or service in the marketplace. The customer experience that results is whatever it turns out to be.

Over the past few weeks, Paul Hagen, Kerry Bodine, and I have been posting our takes on Forrester's Customer Experience Forum, 2011. We've included video of moments we like from 10 out of the 11 main-stage sessions (sadly, we don't have video of the Voice Of The Customer Awards, but at least we have a list of the winners!).
To give attendees and others an easy way to find the moments that matter to them, I've assembled this guide to our posts about the event. If you find these posts interesting, you can jump into the discussions that started at the forum in our online Forrester Community For Customer Experience Professionals.
"Customer Experience Is Personal"
Harley Manning, Vice President, Research Director, Forrester Research
Here's the man-on-the-street video I used in my opening remarks. We took a camera crew to Harvard Square and asked people to describe their best and worst customer experiences. Yikes!
"What Is the Right Customer Experience Strategy For Your Company?"
Paul Hagen, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research
What is a customer experience strategy? What is it good for? How can you recognize a good one? Hear Paul's answer, which sets the theme for the rest of the event.
"A Relentless Focus On Members"

You all know Nikon, which has more than $8 billion in annual revenue and 26,000 employees worldwide. At Forrester's Customer Experience Forum, 2011, we also got to know David Dentry, general manager of customer relations for Nikon.
David's a lucky guy. He's been interested in photography since he was a small child, so working at Nikon is a dream job for him. He was a photographer and photo teacher in the US Navy for eight years, which had him shooting (in a way that's different from the way most military personnel shoot) everything from aerial reconnaissance photos to cake-cutting events. In fact, he joined the Navy based on his recruiter's assurance that if he signed up he'd get to be a photographer.
Today David's responsible for all aspects of customer support for Nikon in the Americas. His team manages Nikon's call center operations and the nikonusa.com website. That's quite an interesting challenge because he gets the customer service experience challenge in stereo from two very different types of channels. Not to worry, though, because he has a technique he uses to suss out the lowest common denominator when it comes to customer experience challenges: ask Grandma.
Here's how he describes his approach.

There's a personal story behind why we invited one of our speakers to be on the main stage at Forrester's Customer Experience Forum, 2011.
A few months back, I had to take a trip from Boston to Toronto. My colleague Jeff Thurston said, "You've got to fly Porter." I asked why, and he just said "trust me." Well, I do trust Jeff so I went ahead and booked a flight on Porter Airlines.
When I got back to Boston I concluded two things. First, the only way I was going to fly to Toronto from now on was via Porter. Second, I needed to get someone from Porter on stage to talk about the butt-kicking customer experience I'd just had.
What's so great about Porter? Let me give you my take. It starts with flying into Billy Bishop airport, which is basically in the city of Toronto — as opposed to Toronto Pearson International airport, which is a long cab ride outside of Toronto. So when you get off the plane at Billy Bishop, you just saved yourself about 15 miles worth of traffic.
That's the convenient part. Now for the cool part. The flight experience is retro 1960s (maybe earlier, I wasn't flying in the 60s). The seats are wide and comfortable. The crew treats you like they want your business. You get snacks that are basically meals plus wine or beer — and it's complimentary! I almost fell out of my leather seat when the flight attendant told me that.

Last year we published not just one but two reports that featured the outstanding customer experience transformation process that took place in the American Express call centers. The first report described the winning entry submitted by American Express for a 2010 Voice Of The Customer Award — the data from that VoC program drove many of their call center improvements. The second report was a profile of the transformation itself based on a talk by Reena Panikar, vice president and business leader of American Express' Customer Service Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
We were so impressed by this story that we invited Jim Bush, executive vice president of world service at American Express to speak at Forrester's Customer Experience Forum 2011.
Jim is responsible for leading the company's global customer servicing operation — which includes 25 proprietary locations across the globe and a team of tens of thousands of customer care professionals who provide service to more than 63 million customers. He was the driving force behind the American Express call center transformation.
Listen in as Jim describes how it all went down.

One of the challenges in putting together Forrester's Customer Experience Forum is that we have a very limited number of main-stage speaker slots. And that's frustrating because as the content champion for the event, I wanted to put the top bank, the top credit card provider, and the top insurance provider on stage.
Lucky for me our Customer Experience Index data tells us that's all the same company: USAA.
And that's why we were so happy to have Wayne Peacock as a speaker.
Wayne is executive vice president of member experience at USAA, where he oversees its marketing, channel management, sales, and service functions. We profiled him earlier this year as part of our series "Conversations With Chief Customer Officers."
As always, the USAA story is inspiring. As Wayne put it, it accomplishes its mission by focusing on three things that are deceptively simple but very hard to execute well:
To which I will only add: If you do those things, you might also have a year-over-year customer retention rate of 97% to 98% like USAA.
But don't take my word — listen to Wayne yourself. Enjoy!

No offense meant to any of the other great speakers at Forrester's recent Customer Experience Forum 2011, but I have to admit that I had a favorite: Kevin Peters, Office Depot's president, North American retail.
Kevin had some stiff competition from executives like USAA's Wayne Peacock, Jim Bush from American Express, the members of our chief customer officer panel, and others. But Kevin won me over by giving one of the best speeches I have ever seen anywhere.
As someone who A) gives speeches on a pretty regular basis, B) attends a lot of events where I see other people give speeches, and C) feels compelled to analyze everything, I've been thinking a lot about why Kevin was so good.
Let's start with the fact that he rocked it old school by standing up and delivering a speech without slides or any other kind of visual aids. Yeah, that's right — he stood up and told a story so interesting that I just sat there riveted.
How did he manage that trick? It was a combination of great content and passion about that content. Let me be clear: If you've ever wondered what an executive who is deeply committed to his customers looks like, just watch this.
Posted by Harley Manning on the Customer Experience Professionals Blog on July 5, 2011
I was recently fortunate enough to host a panel of three chief customer officers (CCOs) on the main stage of Forrester's Customer Experience Forum 2011.
They're all quite different. Fred Leichter from Fidelity Investments has a background in customer experience, having guided the design of Fidelity websites for many years (and as a Fidelity customer, I can say that those sites are pretty darn good). In contrast, Jim Merlino of The Cleveland Clinic is a practicing surgeon as well as CCO, and Jeff Harvey of SAP (who was recently promoted out of the CCO position) has a diversified leadership background that's more typical of the customer experience executives we recently studied.
Interestingly, despite their differences, they all spend time as CCOs on evangelizing customer experience, building empathy for customers among their organizations' employees, and embedding customer-centricity into projects.
Check out this video excerpt from our session and share your own thoughts about this emerging role!

Ha! Elvis is blushing, and his tail is twitching… I love when Elvis is annoyed.
i'm rereading this series (probably for the fifth time… this week. minor obsession) – elvis seems like quite the troublemaker! so cute
Ahhh the beloved sunspot . . . I can recall my Maine Coon, Precious, being obsessed with the blinds covering the sliding doors to the backyard–she'd ball herself up on the other side of the blinds to soak up the sun and keep herself hidden. When we couldn't find her, that was the first place to always check. 🙂
Aw Elvies little blush 😊

Smart Woman: Eating and Exercising
Before running a half marathon last year, Gouthami Rao consulted a dietitian to create the best diet for her training.
Rao said, "Striking a bigger balance between carbs and protein which I think is a huge battle for pretty much everybody when they eat."
So why do protein and carbs pack the right punch for a good workout?
"With exercise our bodies are constantly breaking down and need to be repaired and protein helps do that. Carbohydrate is the fuel for our bodies, fuel for our brains. We need to have it to some extent before the workout, sometimes during and after the workout," said dietitian Carol Kelly.
If you're exercising first thing in the morning for an hour or less, you can delay breakfast. But if you're working out later in the day, load up on carbs and protein for lunch.
Eat a combination of protein and carbs within 30 to 40 minutes post work out. But experts say limit protein: 10 to 20 grams, or a palm-sized piece of chicken, is enough.
And eat fruits and veggies. They help mop up the damage done during exercise.
If your workout lasts more than an hour, you may need to refuel with a sports beverage or gel during your workout.
"The goal for me is just to make the whole process an enjoyable experience. I really want to work towards doing another half marathon," said, Rao.

Submitted to: North Central Weed Science Society US Proceedings
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 12/12/1996
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Two thousand seeds of giant foxtail, woolly cupgrass, velvetleaf and common waterhemp were buried in the upper 5 cm of soil contained in 45 by 58 cm wooden frames. Seeds were buried in the fall of 1994 and 1995 within eight weeks after harvest. A randomized complete block design with five frames per species were used. Frames established in 1994 were tilled to a depth of 5 cm on April 5, 1996. Weed emergence was monitored throughout the 1995 and 1996 growing seasons by counting and removing all seedlings at three to four day intervals. Averaged over two seasons, emergence for first year seed was 36% for giant foxtail, 52% for woolly cupgrass, 8% for velvetleaf, and 14% for common waterhemp. There was no difference in emergence percentage for the two broadleaf species during 1995 and 1996 for 1994 seed, whereas emergence during 1996 for the grass species was approximately 25% of that observed in 1995. In the two years following burial of 1994 seed, emergence accounted for 41, 53, 16, and 12% of the buried seed from giant foxtail, woolly cupgrass, velvetleaf, and waterhemp, respectively. Each species had a characteristic emergence pattern that was consistent in both years. Woolly cupgrass was the first weed to emerge and reached 90% emergence within three weeks of initial emergence. Waterhemp was the last of the four species to initiate emergence and had a prolonged emergence pattern; 90% emergence did not occur until six weeks after initial emergence.

What a difference 10 months can make...
Following a - quite frankly bizarre - u-turn from Yahoo! CEO Jerry Lang late last week when he seemed to have conveniently forgotten all the quotes he made fighting off the Microsoft takeover bid, Steve Ballmer (no doubt with a big grin on his face) has taken the time to rub salt into the wounds.
Speaking at a business luncheon on Friday, Ballmer stated "We made an offer, we made another offer ... We moved on... We tried at one point to do a partnership around search … and that didn't work either, and we moved on and they moved on. We are not interested in going back and re-looking at an acquisition. I don't know why they would be either, frankly."
Well, here's a hint Steve: Google Adsense. Of course, you all know the TrustedReviews viewpoint. We thought it was a stupid idea in the first place.
Where does Yahoo! go from here? At present down, then probably down again and down some more. All of which is something of a shame since it has long been a pillar in most users early web experiences. Sadly, it's a dog-eat-dog world...
Oh and before I forget, that baffling Alzheimer-esque quote from Jerry Lang in full:
"To this day, I have to say that the best thing for Microsoft to do is to buy Yahoo. I don't think that is a bad idea at all - at the right price, whatever the price is, we are willing to sell the company. We were ready to negotiate, we wanted to negotiate a deal, and we felt that we weren't that far apart. But at the end of the day, they withdrew and they since have been very clear about not wanting to buy the company."

text: Okay this is not skating but thought fans of the retired Olympic Champion pair might enjoy it. S& Z recently 'competed' as contestant no.5 on a Chinese television Dancing competition called 舞林大会 (I guess similar to UK's Strictly Come Dancing?). They performed 'Love' - a contemporary dance program to live audiences and 3 critical dance judges. I have never seen this show myself but the news were featured on the Chinese Skating Forum China-Ice.org so I took a look http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/yeNA9SmYsLs/ Funny comments from the judges which I will pick a few to translate: 1st Judge (Cool sophisticated looking female) "I have never been soft spoken with people. S&Z, you guys should withdraw! (laughs) Some show biz contestants came to compete, some came to perform, you belong to neither. What are you, did you come for a demonstration/protest to us three judges?!" 2nd judge (Artsy almost bold guy with crazy orange bow tie) "If we have a bit more time, I reckon you would have a real chance to win at Blackpool. Our suggestion... today's winner has already been decided. If you intend to take part in the final, our competition is pretty much done, so please do not compete, let's stop here." 3rd judge (Cute drag queen/transgender? Go China!) were able to find faults on Shen Xue (Ha of course he would!!), said the outfit didn't flatter her on the stationary stage even though it may look good fluttering in motion on ice, and that at one point she reacted too fast to the music, way before Zhao were able to cause the reaction as part of the choreography. "Maybe during skating judges can't see it, but on the stage I saw it." 2nd judge defended Xue saying actually he picked the outfit on the same day she arrived to the competition, so it is not her fault. ------ I have no idea if this is a publicity stunt, but certainly it worked since I am writing about it. It is really unusual to see Olympic champion pairs skaters perform without their skates (Yeah ok there's Lysacek, Yamaguchi but they are singles), and the pair's chemistry is simply unparalleled. (yeah pun intended )

Controversy erupted when Robbie Manson and Michael Arms were selected as the new men's double sculls combination for the World Cup rowing season.
The uproar was because Olympic gold medallists and two-time world champions Joseph Sullivan and Nathan Cohen had been split. Cohen hinted he wanted to change to the quad if possible; Sullivan was dropped cold but was later recalled to race the single sculls before Mahe Drysdale's expected return at the trials within a fortnight. Neither Sullivan nor Cohen has had anywhere near the same impact compared to their heroic display in the Olympic final where they stormed home from last to first.
Manson and Arms finished seventh at the Olympics as part of the quadruple sculls and had made a logical progression through the system - and now the 23-year-olds have become the jewel of the Rowing New Zealand programme developed post-Olympics; unbeaten since assuming the mantle. They won their World Cups at Sydney and Eton Dorney and set a course record in their Henley royal regatta final.
Arms says they enjoyed their Henley experience but didn't get carried away: "It's a big old circus, that's for sure. I had a glass of Pimm's to celebrate but Robbie was watching me and I was watching Robbie to keep things in order. It was all very professional."
Coached by Calvin Ferguson, the duo could build a case as watertight as their rowing skiff if they triumph against their strongest opposition in a third World Cup final at Lucerne tonight. The duo sculled strongly to pick off their opposition in menacing fashion in the heats yesterday (NZT), advancing to the final. "One guy from the Italian Olympic silver medallist crew is back while Lithuania, Germany, Norway and Argentina are among the better crews to stiffen the competition," Manson says.
"I'm the most confident I've ever been going towards this third World Cup," adds Arms. "A lot of the new crews are worried about us rather than vice versa. We're just out there doing our thing, focused on our own boat speed."
They are evidence it is the programme rather than the athletes which make it a success. The only potential downside is the sport risks applying a sausage factory approach at the expense of individual flair. Still, if results are the sole driver of maintaining the most government funding of any Olympic sport ($18.4m over the Rio de Janeiro Olympic cycle), RNZ have struck gold.
There is a self-assurance in the demeanour of the courteous duo which suggests they could be Olympic medal contenders. Arms is built like an All Black No6 and is not the sort of bloke you'd fancy having a dart at down the blindside; his five o'clock shadow could sand a dining room table. There's a sneaking suspicion he'd be capable of telling a decent yarn or two once warmed up.
Manson appears more reserved and leaves the impression he could've walked out of a Barry Crump novel having skinned a dozen possums before breakfast; he has the ruddy glow of someone who has spent a good deal of time outdoors. Certainly much of the next three years will be spent on Lake Karapiro, given current form.
"Our results have given us enough confidence to raise expectations," Manson says. "We seemed to click straight away but hadn't spent a lot of time in the double before this year."
Arms and Manson made the final in the quad on Lucerne's Rotsee last year. Arms' previous experience was as the men's squad reserve in 2010 when he raced the single sculls to pass the day.
"I finished 17th so I could potentially move from zero to hero this year," he laughs.

Hawaiian Island Cycling
Referred to by Hawaiians as the "Valley Isle", the tropical Maui valley connects two of the world's largest volcanoes into one island biking paradise!
Our road cycling tour of the island loops around the valley nestled between two sleeping giants, Puu Kukui caldera to the West, and Mt. Haleakala to the East. Inside Maui's 120 miles of coastline, we experience a surprising range of microclimates, from exotic gardens to rainshadow drylands, from sandy lagoons to snowy summits! With over 20 ecosystems and lots of hills, road cycling is always an adventure here. One minute we'll be riding through a lush tropical rainforest, and the next we'll turn the corner onto a huge, sunny lava flow, or drop down onto a private peninsula for some fresh, hot Hawaiian banana bread! The people on the island are just as diverse. Evenings are filled with the sights and scents of real island hospitality, where we are pampered with islands feasts, luaus, and hula dancing, and are offered our own oceanside ohanas (private beachhouses).

The Central Museum of Remmil VI was a museum on Remmil VI. In early 2371, the museum was robbed by a group of Nausicaans raiders, who used a high frequency ultrasonic generator to create a sympathetic vibration in the crystalline webbing produced by the natives to construct buildings, and shatter it. This crime was mentioned in Odo's criminal activity report. (DS9: "Heart of Stone")

In the middle of the match, Tiffany came out and kept interfering. Obviously, Tiffany has something against both of these girls, and she just wanted to hurt them any chance she got. Referee Kristina McGraw had a hard time keeping this match in order and finally had to eject Tiffany from ringside. This pleased the fans because now they were going to see the one-on-one match they had been waiting for.

These are some personal observations on Weight Training, and some quick suggestions on how to improve your results.
Firstly, any weight loss program worth ANYTHING involves weight training. If you are not weight training in some way, you are selling yourself short. And if your goal isn't weight loss but muscle gain, well I hope the need for weight training is obvious in this case 😉
Alright, on to the observations
I like to break weight training down into two core parts – Getting strong on some basic lifts, and then putting in the work.
Now, 'Getting strong' doesn't mean you need to be a powerlifter crushing world records or an olympic gymnast doing mind-blowing feats of strength… you just need to get stronger then you were a month or two ago.
And though I do not think the relationship between strength and muscle mass is as linear as people would like to believe, there really does seem to be an elevated baseline of strength needed in order to truly reap the benefits of working out, but to reap those rewards you also need to 'put in the work'.
'Putting in the work' simply means spending time challenging your muscles with sub-maximal work.
So time spent challenging the muscles with heavy weights in order to become stronger, and time spent challenging the muscles with sub-maximal weights in order build up their capacity to adapt to challenge.
My very general observations have been that when men are having problems getting the results they want from their workouts, there tends to be an overemphasis on getting strong, at the expense of time spent 'putting in the work'.
For women I have found the opposite to be true. When Woman are having a hard time getting the results they want, there is a lot of time spent 'putting in the work' but not enough 'getting strong on some basic lifts'.
To sum up, as a quick suggestion – If you are not seeing the results from your workouts that you would like, or that you expect, look to see if you are making either of these mistakes.
I don't have fancy charts or graphs to tell you how strong you should be or how much work you need to do, but I can say that if you have been weight training consistently then you should be getting stronger, and your ability to do work (work capacity) should be increasing. If this isn't happening it may be time to change your workout program.

"We have had a very good fall camp up to this point. I am very pleased with the progress we have made with some of our young players. I am pleased with the leadership of our seniors and what they have done. I am pleased with the point of emphasis that we identified as a staff in our kicking game. We have worked defensively on being more athletic and playing with a purpose. I think offensively the development on our running backs and depth in the offensive line has been a big plus. Our freshmen have done a nice job of fitting into the mix of what we are trying to get done as a team. With that being said, we are focused on the 28th and what needs to be done on that evening. Northeastern is a tough and gritty football team. They are very well coached and they play with a lot of aggression. They will be a team we will have to prepare for and play our best football.
Q: Trey Buice's progress in fall camp to get the starting position?
A: "He was more productive and gave us more of a physical presence. I was proud of Trey and how he camp back from surgery after missing spring football. He is doing a tremendous job."
Q: What will Trey Lewis' role be this season?
A: "We are using Trey in two different capacities. It is nice to have someone who has played as much football as he has and it is nice to have someone who can play versatile positions."
Q: On listing three wide receivers on the depth chart?
A: "We do so many different things with our formations and personnel groups. If that is what we start with in our first play, I can't tell you that but that is the way we have listed it."
Q: The development of Daniel Ifft and Myles Trempe as wide receivers?
A: "They both have made good strides. I think Danny is a little more ahead of Myles. I think both of them will play a lot of football for us. Both will be great receivers for us. Danny is a guy who has excellent hands and isn't afraid of making a mistake."
Q: How do you think Briggs Orsbon and Toriel Gibson play into the wide receiver position?
A: "They will both fit in. I think Briggs is more ready than Gibson, but where and how much they will play is still to be determined. Obviously you want depth at that position so you want guys playing early as much as they can. Briggs is not like most freshmen. We have had guys through the years that have carried themselves a certain way. He is a very good learner and understands the concept of the game. He has a maturity factor physically and mentally."
Q: Tell us what you expect from Northeastern?
A: "Northeastern is a hard tough gritty football team. It is going to be a dog fight. They have some talented guys who have played a lot of football. Their tight ends can block and run. Their quarterback is a very talented player and we will have to be there defensively to stop him."
Q: Chris Clancy is listed as the third tight end on the Ball State depth chart, talk about his move from H-Back.
A: "Clancy can do so many different things; he can catch the ball well in the backfield if we use him as an H-Back. He can block at the point of attack. He runs great routes. He is a guy obviously who runs the ball well. He had a very good fall camp and he is a senior and his last season is important to him."
Q: Do you think our team will go as far as the offense can take it or the defense?
A: "It will go as far as our team will take it which includes our managers, our trainers, our doctors and our sports information director. It is a team game. It is all of us. That is what I believe and the team believes."
Q: Talk about the leadership of Ball State's 84th football team?
A: "We voted on captains last night and Dan Gerberry will represent the offense for the second year in a row. I think that is a great testament to Dan and how he handles himself on a daily basis. Brandon Crawford will represent us defensively. I don't think you could ask for two more stable mature guys who are about Ball State and this football program. We are very pleased and I do believe it is the greatest honor a guy could get to be chosen by his teammates as a captain."

How am I supposed to interpret the Patriots 2012 Yearbook picture? Is like an Uncle Sam thing, or a presidential thing? Are the offensive linemen in the secret service? Am I being recruiting for something? I guess this gets me excited for football season – and I can have it for the one-time fee of $12.95, which is nice – but what's the deal here?
Most importantly, why is Tom Brady pointing at me? I mean, the Patriots sell out every game anyway – they don't need Tom Brady to encourage me to come out to the stadium. What is being pitched to me, exactly? What do they want me for? I'm already uncomfortable when people stare me straight in the eyes – like Brady is doing – I don't need them pointing at my chest for no reason as well.
And look at the guy in the back, two people over from Tom Brady's left shoulder. I think that's Turtle from Entourage. How did he manage to find his way into the photo? I have no idea who any of those players are, except for Gronk (I think?), which might make me a bad fan, but what the hell – they're all wearing sunglasses. I'm used to seeing them in helmets, not in suits pretending to be part of some U.S. militia.
Imagine them setting this whole thing up? Do the players get to keep the sunglasses afterwards? Did Brady have to come to the photo shoot dressed like that – in the same way that we used to dress up for school pictures – or did he go in regular clothes and the guys provided him with a presidential outfit?
Everything about this is just very confusing. At least Brady doesn't have some Euro haircut, although he clearly didn't shave for three or four days to get ready for the shoot – giving him that rustic, 5 o'clock shadow look we all covet. Smart.

Last night, as I'm sure everyone on planet Earth is well aware, MTV aired an intimate documentary titled Britney Spears: For The Record that featured the young popstar openly discussing the hellacious year she suffered in 2007, leading up to her mental breakdown in January of 2008, as well as the aftermath and her recent attempts to get her life back in order. Filmed by the documentary filmmakers who made the heady Academy Award-winning doc Fog Of War, For The Record is an intense look at Britney Spears's life from her perspective, in her own words. Here are a few screencaps from last night's airing:
Britney Spears' life has been filled with speculation and scrutiny over the last few years. In "For the Record," a documentary that aired on MTV on Sunday night, the pop singer finally opened up about her life in the spotlight. "I have good days and I have bad days," she said in the special. "Sometimes it's too much. No subject was off limits, and Spears talked about being a mom, her public breakdown and her breakups with Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline. "For the Record" also gave an all-access pass to her return to the pop scene as she worked on promotion for her album Circus, which included video shoots for "Womanizer" and the title track. Explaining her breakdown, Spears said that she had let the wrong people into her life. "[It was] a really bad time in my life. … I'm not gonna sugarcoat it and say I was OK," she admitted. "Maybe I had traumatic stress. I just remember I did not want to be at home. When I was in my car, I was driving and I was going somewhere." Despite the hard times, the singer said she tries not to let them get her down. "Normal is different for everybody," she said, later adding, "It could be a lot worse. There are people out there who have it a lot worse than I do." She also admitted that even though her life seems hectic, what with constantly being surrounded by assistants, handlers and the paparazzi, "I choose to be a happy person. If I have a bad day, I get angry with myself." Britney's dad, Jamie Spears, and her longtime manager, Larry Rudolph, were also featured in the documentary, as well the pop singer's mentor, Madonna. "I admire her as an artist," the Material Girl said, adding that she sees a lot of herself in the young singer. But Spears isn't just a pop star, she's also a mother to her two sons. And they are the people in her life that help her hold onto her faith. "I see my babies and say … you have to believe in God," she said. "How can these two babies be here without there being a God?" At the end of the documentary, she said she hoped that people would understand that she's just like anybody else. "I love what I do. I love my babies," she said. "And I work really hard." She added, "It's weird. You can see the cruelest part of the world and then on the other side you see the most beautiful. … But they're worth it. … I've been to both places." In order to stay on that beautiful side, Spears said she's avoiding the people and things that hurt her: "Now I try to avoid situations from the past that may threaten me. … I go through life like a Karate Kid."
Many folks have commented that Britney looked sad thruout the documentary … to me, she appeared guarded and very reserved. I imagine that she is not used to baring her soul in such an open fashion. Despite her immense fame, she has never been afforded the opportunity to talk so openly about her life — the good and the bad — on such a grand scale. While there may have been tinges of sadness in the piece, I think the overwhelming tone was a guarded one (think of an injured bird that has had both of its wings broken and, in the course of the healing process, has to trust an outstretched hand that she is being helped and won't be hurt again). I was very impressed with how much Britney opened up to the cameras … I found it wholly fascinating to see what her life is like on the inside. I must admit, it doesn't look fun. But it appears to be all she's ever known … she even talked a bit about how she isn't complaining about how her life turned out, she's just trying to deal with the realities as she deals with very strong personal issues at the same time. It's a great sight to see her surrounded by her close friends and family members (Jamie Spears, Brett Miller, Larry Rudolph) — it's a far cry from the days when she was running around with that lecherous trash that almost led her to her destruction last year (Lutfi, Sims, Ghalib). I'm sure some people will complain that there were many things she did not discuss in the doc but, for me, I was impressed that she even agreed to talk about her life at all. This doc totally feels like a Larry Rudolph idea. It is not meant for Britney's very loyal fans … she will always have those people. This doc was made for the haters, detractors, critics and all around a-holes who take pleasure in ripping the poor girl apart. It's basically a stripped down look at her as a real person … good or bad, this is who she is. Will it silence her critics? I doubt it. Will it change a few minds? I think so … but in the end, I suspect the act of being so open, so publicly is an integral component of Britney's rehabilitation (if you will). She fell so far and has to recoup so much that, I think, she needed to (on some level) start over from scratch — baring so much on world-wide television prolly seemed like a good place to start. Again, I was very impressed with this film (and very surprised that Madonna agreed to sit down to be interviewed — that was a very well-kept secret). I just hope that her life continues to level off and that she is better equipped to handle the stresses that come along with being Britney Spears. I believe she can do it.
Britney Spears: For The Record will premiere in the UK on SKY1 tonight and will reair here in the US on MTV today, tomorrow and Wednesday (at least). I'm not sure if the film will be viewable online (at this point, it is not) but if it does become available, I'll be sure to pass along the info.

Ethinyl Estradiol(0.03mg)
Ethinyl Estradiol is used for contraception, post menopausal osteoporosis, prostate cancer, hormone replacement therapy (hrt) and failure of ovarian development.
How it works
Ethinyl estradiol belongs to a class of medications called estrogens (female hormones). It is a synthetic form of the naturally occurring hormone and helps in development and maintenance of menstrual cycle. In post-menopausal women, it works by reducing the post-menopausal symptoms and risk of weakening bones and bone fracture.
Common side effects
Headache, Nausea, Mood changes, Change in body weight, Abdominal pain, Sexual dysfunction, Breast enlargement, Metrorrhagia (menstrual bleeding at irregular intervals), Breast tenderness, Edema, Fibroid
Gestodene is used in contraception
How it works
Gestodene belongs to class of medications called oral progesterone contraceptives. It works by changing the lining of the uterus thereby making it difficult for an egg (female gamete) to develop and it also prevents release of eggs from the ovary (female gonads). Further it increases the thickness of cervical fluid (at the opening of uterus) which prevents the sperms (male gamete) from reaching an egg.
Common side effects
Adrenal insufficiency, Rash, Vaginal discharge, Headache, Dizziness, Back pain, Increased appetite, Decreased libido, Pain in extremity, Abdominal distension, Cushing syndrome, Sleepiness, Vomiting, Nausea, Edema, Abdominal pain, Lower abdominal pain, Breast pain, Hair loss, Fatigue, Acne, Hot flushes, Thrombophlebitis, Diarrhoea, Irregular menstrual cycle, Depression, Cushingoid syndrome, Increased blood pressure, Mood changes, Nervousness, Constipation, Increased glucose level in blood, Breathing difficulty

What is your take on the Gronkowski drama? Is there some internal conflict regarding his return or is this just the media looking to create a story?
Jason: While the obvious first impression might be this is a fishing expedition for the media, hearing glowing reports from practice and then seeing Gronk in blue jeans on gameday is going to create problems for any locker room. The guy signed a lucrative deal in the offseason, so it's only natural for his camp to protect that investment. That's in direct conflict with the team's goals, and it sure won't earn a whole lot of respect from his teammates.
Raj: It's getting ridiculous. Honestly I think he's fine. I'm not sure whether if it is an internal conflict or not but, I think something is definitely up. I don't believe the media has anything to do with it but, I certainly think the Patriots are scheming. Maybe they're delaying him for when they play Denver.
Derek: I definitely think the media was doing some baiting and spinning on this story to create some drama. However, I'm sure there are players, just like us fans, who are longing to see Gronkowski back on the field. There's little doubt in my mind that his presence would have turned the tide in Cincinnati and we could be looking at a 6-0 start if he had played two weeks ago. That being said, you have to look no further than the sideline, where Jerod Mayo and Vince Wilfork will be spending the rest of the season, to put some context on the situation. With those guys out, part of me is suddnely very grateful that Gronk has taken the cautious approach. Just like Talib and Brady, the Gronkster is a player that this team can just not afford to lose if they are going to make a legit post-season run to New York. The Patriots a 5-1 with two of their three hardest games out of the way. Not having Gronk these past six weeks won't have affected their ability to earn the AFC's top seed. Losing him to injury most certainly will.

Went to Costco today and BAM, a big sign at the door. "No firearms permitted" and just below it "ARS 13-3102". I was disgusted and turned around. I immediately went home to look up the Arizona revised statute. According to the statute it is still legal to carry open or concealed as long as the person is not a prohibited possesor.
Did Costco put up the statute to give it an offficial appearance? Did they actually read the statute?
Time to get the Sams membership.

Something huge is happening in our skies. What the HD images in the following video show, again and again, is a massive planetary object in the sky. The truth may not be pretty for human kind, it rarely was if you're truly honest with the evidence. Are you ready should Western Civilization, and the Human race for that matter, have a reckoning with a cyclical swarm of celestial objects? Can you be ready for such epic sights! Prepare while you can and who knows, if you're really hardcore and lucky…. you might live through it, with the right precautions now you could, theoritically survive. But only with the long term gear and foresight. All around us things ar changing quickly. The Climate is shifting. And space debris is increasing as another close asteroid pass ocurs. The millionaires and rich buy bunkers and war fever distracts the mob. Coincidence?
Or disbelieve it all. Yes, scoff and lie. Like Trump has! Stay distracted. Rage at the TV sports game. Many will do so until the very last minutes, maybe even during, we all know it. Maybe even family and friends which makes this especially difficult for all. People say such things are negative. It's easier to disbelieve. To lie to yourself. To turn a blind eye. It took me years to believe it myself, so I can hardly warrant skeptism of others. However it's getting more obvious by the day. Look up. Connect the dots. A
However, with so much cognitive dissonance at hand will they ever admit its there? They could say anything on the mainstream and a good 20% will eat up the lies. Then martial law and collapse. Before the true SHTF when an asteroid hits the shield or breaks the artificial sun and the world sees the destroyer. You will be ready. You're reading this for a reason. You're vibrating on the same level of consciousness. You can act. Either way,should the imagery prove true, than it seems fate is thrown to the wind every day we wake up. So Buckle up and smile. Take nothing for granted. Laugh and love, but do it with truth in your heart and courage in your soul.
Buckle Your Seat Belt – Planet X Nibiru Evidence Clear as day, Shielded? HD imagery from Mexico, April 19, 2017
Below, an orb is apparent in the sky.
Notice in the image below. Is this proof shielding and possible laser or optical technology is in orbit?
Note below the red dot and faint planetary object. Is a rogue planet being hidden in plain sight?
Below in this image from Mexico, is something in front of a faint orb. Collaborating evidence?
Was something caught in the glare of the sun in the image below?
It's really faint but is there appears to be an orb below the red curvature and dot. What about that line be evidence of technology in space?
Subscribe and track this phenomeum
Very convincing . . but I'm not convinced.
hubble cant find it but he did–Sofia,the 747 that flies on the edge of space with a 8 ft infra red tele can not find it–numberous teles all over our planet cant find it-plus a million or so hi tech telies owned by amature observers all over the globe cant find it but this moron found it–he should get the no bell incentous piece prize
Are you so IMPORTANT they would tell you if they found it ? Move along little sheep nothing to see here.
b 4 you are incorrect. amateur astonomers from around the globe have been seeing indications of planetary alignment problems from Jupiter too Mars ., and have been reporting it for years. Now please use your head ,. who controls the media., ? globally even?? who controls the flow of information and only tells us what they want us too hear? , now also think , do you really think they would allow a legit report from amateur astronomers too make it too the air? they Dont want the people of the world too hear about it, so the only people who can report on it is sites like this. Btw their is a tv station in california who DID find it in the early morning sky , and did some research into it, asking questions like what the hell is this!!! they ascertained that it wasnt any of our planets in our solar system, then called in professionals, and then finally all they got told was they was crazy. That is only one example of people who spotted it!!! I have seen personal photos , videos, amateur and professional, which filmed it and photographed it!! so please stop with the * nooone has reported on it bs!!! , because their have been thousands of people all over the globe who reported it, but, it never makes it big time because of a magical little word called * SENSORSHIP!! You all will see it shorly enough, and no i dont care about my typos, and capitals lol im just here too tell it like it is!!!
multiple citations needed
I suppose you don't care much about spelling, either.
SENSORSHIP!!!! That's rich.
Wow this nonsense is ridiculous. You shouldn't even be making video's like this if you can't even see the difference between planets and lens flares. Get lost please!

"Before the true SHTF when an asteroid hits the shield or breaks the artificial sun and the world sees the destroyer"
shield? artificial sun????? let me guess, you're one of those religious fairy-tale believers right?
p.s. one day you'll learn that lens flares are not planetary bodies,,,, there is no shield,,,, the sun is not artificial,,,, and your religion (like all others) is nothing more than a fairy-tale borne of ignorance
I am so tired of the constant mocking of the idea of a rogue heavenly body invading our solar system. Nasa says its quite common in the galaxy, and frankly more common than a single sun. I am so tired of trying too defend something i know is about too converge upon us., and oh yes it also is prophesized in the Holy scriptures , as part of a composite sign in the end times. All i will say is this: deep underground military bases.. google that that isnt conspiracy its a fact. furthermore the governments of the world are digging in for a long stay underground for about 15 or 20 year stay!! If they was digging in too escape a nuclear event then it would be a hell of a lot longer than that. YOU all tell me what their hiding from. I have seen it with my own eyes on 2 seperate occasions, and no it wasnt no lens flare, and no it wasnt shot behind 2 panes of glass, and no it wasnt photoshopped, and no it wasnt in no way altered!!! In a very short period of time you all will see it when it pokes its head out at us. I listened too a former nasa employee 3 years back who said , no1 it will be a small point of light in the sky which will get brighter and brighter , then pow it will gradually fade in luminessance, until the very last month , which will then appear in the sky with a very large appearance, which will get larger and larger till it fills our sky almost half way . well guess what that time will shortly be here. , but i have too agree with you on some of those images being lens flares. If any of you want the truth, then start looking around for the non-bs stories on the subject and keep a open mind. furthermore listen too experts and astonomers who have been talking about pole sh ifts on other planets , including obvious images from amateur astronomers. we will see shortly, and btw why would anyone wish for this, i hope im wrong.
Go back to nursery school, you are so stupid you need to… stop with this stupid planet x crap…

st: RE: Interaction terms in fixed effects model
Fri, 7 Sep 2012 18:54:04 +0000
You don't need to include separate main effects if they already are in a fixed-effects model. For example, if one is interacting a variable that is not time invariant by region or time and the region and time "dummies" are already included in the model, then, of course, you can't include them as separate main effects. A (brief) mention of this can be found in Allison's Sage little paperback book on fixed-effects models if you need a source.

Subject: st: Interaction terms in fixed effects model
Dear Statalist,
I would highly appreciate any comments on the following problem:
I have a panel dataset (6 yrs) and I use a fixed effects estimator including year dummies. I create interaction terms between different dummy variables and the independent variable of major interest. In different specifications, I analyze the effect of the independent variable, and the interaction term, but it's not possible to include the dummy used for the interaction term for several reasons:
Specification 1: dummy1 bisects the observation period; adding the dummy would cause a collinearity problem as year dummies are already included Specification 2: dummy2 is time-invariant and drops out when using fixed effects
Are these specifications still possible, even if I can't include both variables used for the computation of the interaction term?
Unfortunately, I didn't really find a clear answer yet.
Thank you so much for your help!

Jobless claims fall, beating market expectations
According to Bloomberg, jobless claims fell more than forecasted last week, with filings for unemployment falling by 6,000 applications to 331,000 for the week ended Aug. 24, the Departmemt of Labor said.
"Claims continue to trend down and hiring intentions continue to trend up," Neil Dutta, head of U.S. economics at Renaissance Macro Research LLC in New York, said before the report. "Fewer firings and more hirings should mean stronger employment growth."
