The closely watched Nasdaq-100 index is trying hard to break free of strong resistance that has been in place since the beginning of 2011.
PowerShares QQQ (QQQ), which follows the Nasdaq-100, is aiming for new highs from the subprime meltdown but disappointing results from top holding Google (GOOG) weighed on the exchange traded fund on Friday.
Google shares slipped 8% after the search giant's quarterly earnings fell short of analyst expectations. The stock is the third-largest holding in PowerShares QQQ at 6.1% of the portfolio.
Yet other top holdings such as Intel (INTC) and Microsoft (MSFT) were rising Friday in the wake of solid quarterly results, along with tech bellwether IBM (IBM).
The Nasdaq-100 ETF is up about 7% so far this year to outperform the S&P 500.
On Thursday, the Nasdaq-100 closed at an 11-year high, reports J.C. Parets at All Star Charts. Still, PowerShares QQQ is well below the 2000 peak before the dot-com bubble burst.
Europe's debt crisis is a cause for concern on the global economy, but some analysts think tech ETFs are well-positioned to weather the storm.
In Europe, governments and consumers will be cut back spending as they meet fiscal budgets, increasing fears of weakening growth in Europe, Dylan Cathers, S&P Capital IQ Equity Analyst, wrote in a research note. China, a major driver of tech spending, is projected to expand 7.8% this year, compared to 9.2% in 2011. The U.S. unemployment rate still weighs on the economy. Additionally, flooding in Thailand has created a shortage in hard-disc drives.
Gartner (IT) recently lowered its outlook on global information technology spending for 2012 to 3.7% growth from 4.6%.
S&P analysts, though, believe the recent payrolls numbers and consumer credit reports will bolster the technology sector. In addition, the introduction of Windows 8 in the second half, along with interest in mobile devices and demand for servers and storage devices will support tech companies.
"Despite some negatives, we believe there are worthwhile investments in IT," Cathers said.
The S&P analysts singled out IBM, Oracle (ORCL), Microsoft and Apple Inc. (NasdaqGS: AAPL). These companies are also major component holdings in tech and information technology ETFs.
Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund (VGT) tries to reflect the performance of the MSCI U.S. Investable Market Information 25/50 Index. VGT has an expense ratio of 0.19%.
SPDR Technology Select Sector Fund (XLK) tries to reflect the performance of large-cap tech stocks, holding various IT industry components, such as computers, software and IT services. XLK has an expense ratio of 0.20%.
S&P gives these ETFs an "overweight" score based on performance and cost factors.

Thursday 13 October, at 10:37 am The North Face® Athlete James Pearson successfully achieved the ascent of the Qualido big wall line called Joy Division, one of the hardest granite multpitch in the alps.
The route itself is hard, demanding and very fall-offable, especially in his 1st, 4th and 7th pitches After 15 days work spread over three months and, James was finally ready to climb the line in one push, leading all the route with no fall for more than 800m, 22 pitches, a bivy and two days of granite climbing.
"The summit made all of the hard work and suffering worth it. The top of the "hammer" of the Qualido is a magical place, and one that if I am honest, at times doubted I would ever see."
James first took the decision of climbing this big wall in August, when conditions seemed to be good, long days and ok temperatures. But one thing is to say it, an other is to be there.
"I had heard about this wall from various people including Val di Mello local and first ascentionist Simone Pedeferri, and it seemed like a great adventure. I decided to pay the line a visit in early August accompanied by my girlfriend Caroline and grand ideas of a fast ascent. I completely underestimated what was to come!"
The condition, length and the logistic of a big wall have to be well studied, but the first overview took James into a bad mood about the possibility of a successful ascent. The rock was not perfect and the condition of an east face notoriously difficult, with hot mornings and cold afternoons. Finally, the top of the Qualido is at 2700m, where the weather conditions can change quickly in every part of the year, switching temperatures from 0 to 30°C! Not extreme, but enough to hurt the chance of freeclimbing 8b on a big wall!
A climb of this nature needs patience, time and a little bit of luck! So after the first hit on the wall James decided to go back home to train specifically for the climb, with plans to return when things felt right.
"I spend a lot of days training in the gym, and outside in the Zillertal whenever the weather allowed. I tried to work on longer technical pitches, and climb many pitches in a day, attempting to simulate the challenges I may face back at Qualido"
After a 2nd August inspection on the wall, even with the terribly warm conditions, James could understand that the hard pitches could be climbed.
"There were lots of up's and down's! I began to understand the subtleties of the harder pitches but conditions were too bad to allow for a full attempt on the line. The 4th pitch, rumoured to be the hardest, seemed attainable to me, but the first pitch, with its 40m of sustained and technical crystal smearing seemed so far beyond my ability I started to question my reasons for even trying."
After an extended separation from the route, James returned in early October to spend a few more nights in the Qualido Hotel. This time partnered by Frenchman Nico Nastorg, James hoped to take advantage of an incredible band of high pressure that was extending the alpine climbing season much longer than usual. The first few days passed as planned, with the pair exploring the last little details of the route, before a storm rolled in and forced a premature retreat.
Three days later the storm passed. The snow melted, the sky was blue and the pair headed back to the wall for what was likely their last chance of the season. A little after first light, the first 8b was done! Whilst climbing this pitch on his first try was a huge relief, there was a long, long way still to go.
"The first pitch is the most difficult in isolation for me. The style is sustained lay-backing up a thin finger seam with only bad smears for your feet. I could fall on any move, and knew that success would not be dependent on pulling harder, but staying absolutely focused for the entire pitch. With every attempt, my skin would take a beating, and with so many hard pitches waiting above, I knew I needed to climb it quickly."
This description of the first pitch can be applied fairly accurately to the entire route. On paper, the level of the individual pitches might not seem so high (I know because I made the mistake of imagining the individual pitches as sport routes during a days climbing). However, when combined together one after the other, the sustained, complex, and delicate nature of the climbing completely exhausts your body and mind.
Knowing that you could quite easily slip of one of the many delicate crux moves, and in the process, invalidate all the hard work before it, is a difficult thought to deal with. Each of these moves steals precious skin from your fingers, and energy from your muscles – It breaks you down physically and mentally.
I was suffering a lot during the first section of the wall with strange cramps in my hands and arms. I would arrive at the top of each pitch unable to open my fingers and wonder how I was going to continue. Without the support of Nico, I think I would have been finished, but somehow we continued upwards, focused only on one pitch at a time (even the 7a+'s on this wall are desperate!), and eventually, most of the hard climbing was done.
When the climbing became trad, I felt more in my element, and the final 7c+ passed with relative ease. From here on there were just a couple of very bold 6's to climb in the dark to reach the sanctuary of the bivy. A long cold night, and even colder morning took us to the summit the next day – what an amazing view! I have to thank Nico, Riky, Pietro, and Caroline for the real support in all the process!"
Joy division climbs parts of three existing routes on the Qualido Wall: "Forse si, Forse no", "Mellodramma" and "Melat". The complete line was first free climbed in 2003 from the local hero Simone Pedeferri, and since then the route has seen various different attempts expecially in his first part (the Miro Piala and Igor Koller 3 pitches called "forse si, forse no", 8b.) Pedeferri's ascent was climbed over 3 different days, and finally James has climbed it in one push.

After starter Michael Vick left the game in the first half with a hamstring injury, rookie Matt Barkley looked like, well, a rookie. The Giants brought Barkley down for 4 sacks and safety Will Hill hauled in an interception on the Eagles final offensive possession of the game to seal the victory.
Placekicker Josh Brown connected on all five of his field goal attempts. Much like last week against the Minnesota Vikings, a special teams gaffe would produce Philadelphia's only score of the game as long snapper Zak DeOssie launched the ball over punter Steve Weatherford's head and the Eagles' Najee Goode scooped up the football and found the end zone.
The Giants held Philadelphia to just 200 yards of total offense after surrendering 439 yards in their Week 5 loss to the Eagles.
Big Blue heads into its bye week with some momentum after compiling consecutive victories following its 0-6 start. Tom Coughlin and company will make the most of their extra rest before preparing to face the Oakland Raiders in Week 10.

Auction house offers bidders Neil Armstrong's EKG heartbeat
A New Hampshire auction house will reportedly put up the EKG of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin during their descent to the moon, an item that could fetch more than $10,000.
The EKG, which records the minutes right before the duo touched down on the moon, shows the tense final minutes as the lunar module soared across the lunar landscape and Aldrin and Armstrong sought to discover a place to safely land the craft.
The auction, which is being led by RR Auction, will take bids on the EKG and other items during a series of auctions between May 16 and May 23. Other items include the joystick used to control the lunar module's descent onto the moon, and 85 other items from the Apollo 11 mission.
According to those familiar with the EKG, it shows Aldrin's blood pressure rising as the pair of astronauts began to run short on fuel. Armstrong's blood pressure remains relatively low as he spent the time scouring the lunar surface for an area void of house-sized boulders. The pair successfully landed the lunar module on the surface of the moon with less than 20 seconds of fuel remaining.
PHOTOS: The 10 best images of the moon
It remains unclear how much the EKG will fetch. The auction house has listed the item of $3,000, although its historic significance will likely push the actual purchase price far higher.
The Apollo missions were able to reveal a great deal of information about the moon and its relationship to the Earth. The National Air and Space Museum lists the Apollo discoveries as showing not only the nature and history of the moon and its formation, but also important information about its environment.
Armstrong, a space legend, passed away in August of last year at the age of 82. He passed away from complications due to heart surgery. The former U.S. Navy pilot made two trips two space, one in 1966 as commander of the Gemini 8 mission and a second in 1969 during which Mr. Armstrong became the first man to walk on the surface of the moon.

The narrator of this rare clip describes James Joyce -- arguably the greatest novelist of the 20th century -- as a "small, thin, unathletic man with very bad eyes." Ouch. And it gets worse. According to the voiceover, when Joyce and drinking buddy Ernest Hemingway faced a potential brawl, Joyce would hide behind his more imposing comrade and shout "Deal with him, Hemingway, deal with him!!!'
But we bet they were both just hiding behind Gertrude Stein.

Lead Theme for HANNOVER MESSE 2015
The message behind "Integrated Industry – Join the Network!" is that the key challenges of the fourth industrial revolution – such as achieving universal standards for machine-to-machine communication, maintaining data security and finding new business models – can be mastered only through collective endeavor in networks.
The technological advances that can flow from networking will be made real and tangible at HANNOVER MESSE this coming April. Visitors to the fair will witness digitally networked production plants, ingenious new production processes, and next-generation industrial robots live in action. They will see collaborative robots with sensor systems so advanced that they can work right alongside their human counterparts without any safety barriers. And they will see IT-based automation solutions that will bring fundamental change to all in-factory organizational processes.
In addition to long-time exhibitors like SAP and Dassault Systèmes, next year's HANNOVER MESSE will feature newcomers like Microsoft.
The technology needed to achieve the energy transition is already available.
Smart grid technology has a vital twofold role to play in the energy transition. First of all, grids need to be intelligent if they are to be able to handle steadily growing in-feeds of renewably generated electricity in a way that is both efficient and commercially viable. And second, smart grid technology enables all energy networks – i.e. power, gas and heat networks – to 'talk' to one another so that capacity can be balanced and optimally deployed across the entire energy system. No country can achieve a truly sustainable, future-proof energy system unless it has in place IT-based networks that intelligently manage and integrate the entire energy supply chain, from generation and storage to transmission and right through to the end consumer.

WASHINGTON (AP) President Bush signed a law Friday that lifts restrictions on long-haul flights from Dallas Love Field in 2014.
Travelers also will see an immediate impact. Southwest Airlines Co. said it would begin selling one-stop tickets — called through-ticketing — quickly once regulators approve the new service.
Southwest officials were waiting for the Federal Aviation Administration to tell Congress that it can safely manage the air space over Love Field and nearby Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport under the new law. Southwest and rival American Airlines consider that a formality because an FAA official testified that the agency could handle the job.
"We have to view Dallas with all new eyes," said Southwest spokeswoman Beth Harbin. "We'll be treating it like a new city. We don't know what the demand is going to look like without the Wright Amendment."
Love Field is one of Southwest's busiest airports, but the airline offers many more daily flights at Chicago Midway Airport, Las Vegas and Phoenix. All are candidates for one-stop service, a Southwest official said last week.
American, which has a big hub at DFW, expects to offer through-ticketing from Love Field to much of the country via St. Louis, said spokesman Tim Wagner. American is a unit of Fort Worth-based AMR Corp.
Neither airline would say how much they will charge for the new one-stop flights — by law, airlines can't signal pricing decisions to each other.
Tom Parsons, who tracks fares as editor of the travel website Bestfares.com, said Southwest will probably drive down fares from Dallas to the West Coast by 30% or more.
Parsons said American currently charges $358 to $398 for most of its 14-day and 21-day advance-purchase tickets — the kind bought by vacationers.
"All those fares will probably come down to $178 to $218 when Southwest comes out with its initial sale," Parsons said. He said business travelers would also benefit because Dallas-based Southwest has a lower cap on last-minute fares, $319, and American will have to match that on routes where it competes with the low-cost carrier.
American will be able to charge $20 to $30 more for non-stop flights from DFW Airport than Southwest charges for a one-stop trip, Parsons said.
Bush's signing of the bill, done without ceremony, caps two years of intense lobbying and negotiations involving American and Southwest, the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, DFW Airport and Love Field.
"It has been a long process, but North Texas consumers will benefit from more competition and significantly reduced airfares," Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, who sponsored the bill, said in a news release.
The 1979 law — known as the Wright Amendment for its author, former House Speaker Jim Wright — forced flights leaving Love Field to land in Texas or the four contiguous states. Restrictions were later lifted on four more states. The idea was to help then-new DFW Airport grow.
The new law will repeal the Wright legislation after eight years and reduce the number of gates at Love Field from 32 to 20.

Watch One Direction's 'Africa Diaries' for Red Nose Day
Subscribe to PopCrush on
One Direction's trip to Africa was an eventful one. We saw Harry Styles and Zayn Malik cry as Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson maintained their composure while expressing subtle outrage at the poor conditions in Ghana. And now we can see a longer look at the band's time in the country, for which they were simultaneously praised and maligned — and by which they clearly moved.
The videos are divided into stories for each band member's individual experiences in the country. While most of us have already gotten choked up seeing Styles cry, some parts of his trip to Ghana were more lighthearted — he witnesses a birth ceremony, plays with kids and attempts to learn how to dance from "the most talented person" he's ever seen. He's clearly humbled by what he's witnessed.
In Tomlinson's vignette, he was in awe at the wonder from the children in Ghana at Malik's tattoos. "These kids are just so cute," he gushed. "They just wanna shake your hand, and that's what makes you feel like you want to make a difference, because they're such lovely people … and this is what they have to put up with. And they shouldn't."
Payne's piece is particularly fun to watch. In addition to his heartwrenching hospital trip, Payne busts some moves with the locals, high fiving the kids and having a good time. In Horan and Malik's individual clips, there are a lot of sick children and tears.
Thankfully, the boys also recorded a behind-the-scenes look at their Red Nose Day photo shoot to offset the heaviness!

Mathies Named SEC Player of the Week
Jan. 16, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky women's basketball junior guard A'dia Mathies was named the Southeastern Conference's Player of the Week, the league office in Birmingham, Ala., announced Monday.
Mathies, a 5-foot-9 guard from Louisville, Ky., earned the honor after averaging 21.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.5 blocks and 2.5 steals per game in UK's two wins over ranked opponents.
She scored a career-high 34 points in UK's upset of No. 6/7 Tennessee on Thursday, while also grabbing nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals. She hit the game-winning shot vs. Lady Vols with 4.2 seconds left to snap Tennessee's 36-game conference winning streak, give UK its first 4-0 start in conference play in program history, and give UK its third win over a top-10 ranked opponent this season.
Mathies' 34 points vs. Tennessee are the most scored by a UK player since Dec. 20, 1987, when Bebe Croley netted 40 points vs. Morehead State. She also became just the fifth Wildcat in school history to score 34 or more points in a game.
In the win over No. 24 South Carolina, Mathies tied a career high with three blocks, while also getting three steals. She added eight points which moved her up to No. 16 on UK's all-time scoring list with 1,208. She ranks ninth on UK's career steals list with 220 and needs just four more to tie Sandy Harding at No. 8.
This is Mathies' second SEC Player of the Week honor this season. She was named Co-SEC Player of the Week on Dec. 5, 2011.
Overall, Mathies leads No. 9/8 Kentucky (16-2, 5-0) in almost every statistical category as she averages a team-high 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.3 steals per game.
UK returns to action Thursday for its third straight matchup against a top-25 team, when it travels to Athens, Ga., to take on No. 19/16 Georgia at 7 p.m. ET. The Cats look to snap a two-game losing skid to the Lady Bulldogs and capture their first win in Stegeman Coliseum since 2008.

Okino Apologizes For Anti-Gay Comments
Originally printed 1/31/2013 (Issue 2105 - Between The Lines News)
Former Honolulu City Councilman Gary Okino is apologizing to gays, lesbians and their supporters for comments he made during a confirmation hearing.
Mayor Kirk Caldwell withdrew the 71-year-old's nomination to the Ethics Board of Appeals after he told city councilors on Tuesday that he has "no tolerance for homosexuality," and that gay people "are in danger not only spiritually, but physically."
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser http://bit.ly/Vp3qgp reports Okino said in a statement Saturday that Caldwell's decision was appropriate.
Okino says he was being overzealous in his efforts to respond to allegations against him.

President Obama today ordered that $473 million in "unspent earmarks" be made available to states for other construction projects.
"My administration will continue to do everything we can to put Americans back to work," Obama said in a statement. "We're not going to let politics stand between construction workers and good jobs repairing our roads and bridges."
The 8.3% unemployment is a major issue in the election contest between Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
Earmarks are special projects pushed by specific members of Congress for their districts.
In a statement, the administration says it has identified $473 million in unspent earmarks between fiscal years 2003 and 2006.
The law allows Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood "to make the unused funds available for eligible surface transportation projects."
Said LaHood: "We are freeing up these funds so states can get down to the business of moving transportation projects forward and putting our friends and neighbors back to work."
The administration also provided a list of available funds by state.

I want to Talk about what will make this New Year a Happy One. And linger on some good memories of 2013. Saying the year is tricky for me. For some reason, once the 2000's went into its teens; I went back to the 1900s. I could say 2012, but when 2013 came around, my mouth said 1913. Now 1914. I correct myself and say/write 2014, but maybe it has to do with another number that came my way in 2013? Like the number 80 …
The Magnificent Year of Edging 80: With the thought that 80 really might be coming my way, every occasion became a celebration of the big eight-zero. Little gatherings or large happenings gave me a chance to sprinkle thank-yous to friends who gave my long life a lift. The February trip to Maui, with my school pals Joan Weber and Carolyn See, still has me on a high. Carolyn and I were able to show appreciation to Joan who lifted our lives when we teenagers (we had no wardrobe and she shared hers). Thanks to the Westin Maui and Mark Ellman's MALA and HONU, we had a comfortable, delicious and memorable holiday full of Mahalos and Aloha.
From the trip to Hawaii, to special friends lunches (Tolucans JoAnne Worley, Mitzi Brill and Dee Stratton), to an afternoon of fun in my home (with a fine Pony to ride), where I could express my appreciation for friendship with people from my early youth and through my zig-zagging life. It was fabulous.
And speaking of fabulous … Sheila.
SHEILA KUEHL: Something I have never done, ever in my whole life, is stand up to support a candidate for office from the git-go. One of my favorite 2013 days was a house party to introduce my friends and neighbors to the amazing Sheila Kuehl. Sheila is running for LA County Supervisor. I see this as the most wonderful news for my hometown, Los Angeles.
Please do me a personal favor and use the Internet to get to know Sheila. She has a lovely interview in the Archives of the Television Academy, as part of their Television History, One Voice At a Time. And find Sheila's website. She actually gives enjoyable lessons on what a County Supervisor really is and what they do. It's very big.
The blessing of being a columnist versus being a reporter is that I can express my own opinions. And in this upcoming spectacular year, my opinions on why Sheila Kuehl will be a blessing to LA County will be abundant. Let this be clear. She is a brilliant legislator with a storybook history of serving California. And she was Zelda Gilroy in Dobie Gillis!
2014 is offering a wealth of good people running for office but Sheila towers above them. I could go on, and I will. So please do your homework so we'll be on the same page.
Last year's landmarks include the first baby in the family, so welcome Skylar Ava Mandell, the beautiful daughter of Marc and Beata. And Skylar's Aunt, Dana Mandell, had a lovely wedding to the very special Bryan Coopersmith. And Dana's, Aunt Sheri Lawrence, pitched a strike at the opening of a Dodger game!
And David and I celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary.
David. In our years together, so compact, with 24/7 days, it seems like a little lifetime. It's so good to sing the same songs, and remember (or help each other to), the same old movies.
David promised to take care of me, and so he does, in very sweet little ways and, in a lot of big ways. So we continue to build new memories and as we do …
We'll Talk….

It may seem like the ravings of a particularly intemperate Wall Street occupier to suggest that executive pay could be a reason for the weak economic recovery – surely it cannot have a big enough macro impact – but there's enough economic evidence to start taking the idea seriously.
In a piece I did a few weeks ago about the rise in the profit share of GDP I noted this argument by Andrew Smithers:
The strange behaviour of profits after this recession needs further explanation and Mr Smithers has an innovative idea. "It seems to me that what we've seen has been a marked change in corporate behaviour," he says. "They have not responded by cutting prices and competing like fury, they've responded by cutting staff."

Smashed iPhone Gets Russell Brand 20 Community Service Hours
Ever think buying an iPhone was a pricey proposition? Behold, the price of destroying one.
Russell Brand averted a fairly lengthy jail stretch this morning, making a plea deal with New Orleans prosecutors over a March incident involving the British comic and star of FX's "Brand X" and "Get Him To The Greek" pitching a photographer's phone through a window, TMZ reported Thursday.
Brand could've faced a six-month jail stretch. Instead, his attorney pleaded guilty on his behalf today to misdemeanor criminal damage, with the condition that Brand pay $500 in court costs and complete 20 hours community service by Aug. 21.
His attorney claims that he'll perform the service tending to people suffering under substance abuse. Brand himself has struggled publicly with heroin and alcohol dependencies, as well as sex addiction, reportedly sobering up in 2002.
Despite the March 15 "simple criminal damage to property" warrant issued for Brand, he not only turned himself in to police, but also offered to reimburse the broken window's cost. It wasn't his first brush with the law stemming from the paparazzi: He was arrested on Sept. 16, 2010, after allegedly attacking a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport when the pap allegedly blocked his and Perry's way onto their flight. He posted $20,000 bond, and was released from custody.

"Partnering with WMTI is a huge opportunity for the Zephyrs," said Jeff Booker, Zephyrs Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Community Relations.

For the first time ever, the Zephyrs will have an entire radio group get behind us as a partner, much like the Hornets and Saints have had for years."
All 144 Zephyrs home and away games will be carried by True Oldies 106.1 FM. Tim Grubbs returns for his ninth season as the play-by-play voice of the Zephyrs, and will again be joined by Ron Swoboda on all home broadcasts.
"We are proud that True Oldies 106.1 will be the new flagship radio station of the New Orleans Zephyrs this year and for many years to come," said David Smith, General Manager of Citadel Broadcasting New Orleans. "We understand the value and heritage of the Zephyrs in our community and will work hard to build upon this great tradition of exciting baseball and outstanding family entertainment. Play ball!"
The Z's begin the 2010 season at Zephyr Field on Thursday, April 8th when they face the Round Rock Express at 7:00 p.m. For more information and to purchase ticket packages, please call the Zephyrs at (504) 734-5155.

Justin Bieber Has A Slumber Party In Sweden
First, there was J. Biebs' bodyguard, spotted the other day in a full-body pajama onesie. Now, today, here is Bieber himself, decked out in bright red footie pa-jay-jays. This is apparently his pre-concert outfit, the one he wears for his pre-concert ritual that we refer to as "Embarrassingly Strutting Around Stockholm, Sweden, With Your Buddy Pretending To Dance To Music That Isn't There." In any case, is this a trend we're going to be seeing a lot more of? Are footie pajamas suddenly going to be "up in the clurb"-appropriate? Let's hope so. I'm dusting off my Pajama Jeans right now.

But in my opinion, the clue is not if antrophometric develoment has been completed or not. When considering a rhinoplasty, it's crucial to have a psichological complete maturity to choose the correct decission.
Wait almost two or three years before deciding your nose surgery.
Age for rhinoplasty or nose job
The nose, specifically the septum (the wall that separates the two sides of the nose) serves as the focal point or center for midfacial growth. Prematurely disturbing this growth center could lead to abnormal development of the face. Therefore, it is essential that a qualified surgeon evaluate your facial growth and assure that it is an appropriate time to consider a rhinoplasty. Most teenage girls can have rhinoplasty approximately one year after their menarche (first menstrual period). Teenage boys are more variable, but the surgery can typically be performed successfully by age 16.
As long as surgery was performed at the appropriate time, your nose should not continue to grow, but will actually contract. The healing process actually takes an entire year and your nasal skin will slowly contract over the structural framework of bone and cartilage.

Teen nose surgery is OK if you are mature enough
By the mid teens, nose size/growth is near adult size, so from a technical standpoint a rhinoplasty can be done. From a psychological standpoint, teens should be choosing to do this for the right reason. While there are many right reasons, it is important that to a teen be self motivated and not be motivated by a family member to have it done.
Also, they should be able to identify specifically what they don't like about their nose and share this with their Plastic Surgeon. It is so important that the plastic surgeon and patient, no matter what age, are realistic about what result can be obtained, and what can not be corrected/improved. That is where computer imaging comes into the picture.
I use our imaging computer to emphasize how one might look, not to guarantee a certain result. I have found that those who like the computer simulated results I show them usually are ecstatic with their results. Those who don't should not have nose surgery.

Quebec Quay is one of the most desirable apartment developments in Liverpool's docklands. Large living room / dining room with separate kitchen. Double glazed French doors to Juliet balcony from which Liverpool Marina can be seen. Decorated to a high standard with double glazing and central heating. Situated within a gated community, the apartment offer access to immaculately maintained communal gardens and secure allocated parking.
Immediately adjacent both to the River Mersey and Liverpool Marina, in a quiet location yet within 5-10 minutes walk of the Pier Head, the Liverpool Echo Arena / BT Conference Centre, the Albert Dock and the new vast Liverpool One shopping centre. Ideally located for attending concerts at the ACC Echo Arena, Matthew Street Festival and Summer Pops.
20 minutes walk (or 5 minutes in a taxi!) to the city centre, yet the peace and quiet of the marina area.
Liverpool's Cultural Heritage: The architecture is world-class, with more listed buildings than any city outside London. The heart of the city and its waterfront sit proudly alongside treasures like the Taj Mahal and Pyramids at Giza as a World Heritage Site.
Many gems of the National Museums Liverpool fall within the heritage site. The refurbished World Museum Liverpool and Walker Art Gallery are housed in this part of town, while the Tate Liverpool and Merseyside Maritime Museum have their homes on the waterfront, at the Albert Dock.
Our city's areas of interest extend far beyond this however. Liverpool boasts two cathedrals which are major attractions in their own right. The Anglican Cathedral and the Metropolitan Cathedral are fine examples of internationally recognised architecture.
If you're looking for theatres in Liverpool, choose from the Everyman and Playhouse, Unity and Empire theatres for a range of contemporary, classic and touring productions.
Liverpool's Musical Heritage: Liverpool Rocks!
You will find traces of The Beatles at nearly every turn in modern Liverpool. But don't overlook their many predecessors, like Britain's first great rock'n'roller Billy Fury, or their contemporaries in the 1960s Merseybeat movement that would revolutionise pop culture. Musicians as diverse as Echo and the Bunnymen, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Atomic Kitten have roots in the city.
This summer, the city that The Guinness Book of Records has named as World Capital City of Pop is host to an exciting exhibition dedicated to 60 years of Liverpool music. The Beat Goes On opens at World Museum Liverpool from 12 July 2008 to 1 November 2009. Celebrating 60 years of Liverpool music from The Beatles to The Zutons.
*** For the latest acts, Liverpool Echo Arena is the city's superior venue for concerts and hosts world-famous artists and bands and is only 5 minutes walk from the apartment ***
Liverpool's Sporting Heritage: Sport - along with music - is the beating heart of this city.
Mention the name 'Liverpool' to almost anyone, anywhere in the world, and their almost instant reaction will be 'football'. The Northwest is a hotbed of footballing success, with seven Premiership clubs; the homes of two of them, Everton and Liverpool, are just minutes from Liverpool City Centre.
The Grand National horse race is the world's most-watched sporting event, with an annual audience of 600 million. Haydock Park a premier dual-purpose racecourse, boasting an active and energetic year-round racing calendar that includes both flat and jumping fixtures.
But scratch the surface, and there's a huge range of sports on offer: rugby league continues to rise in popularity, led by St.Helens Saints and Widnes Vikings, while the Liverpool the International Tennis Tournament 2009 attracts some of the world's top tennis talents, and the event is expected to be a major event in the calendar.
Dominic, had a traumatic day before we had arrived, but still had time to help us with our luggage and make us feel welcome.
The apartment was just right for our needs. Close for all the city center attractions and yet far enough away to not have the city noise.
Thanks so much for a lovely stay at Quebec Quay. The apartment is in a great location and an easy walk to the docks. It is a very comfortable place to live in and a great space for our 21 month old son to run around in. We very much enjoyed our stay there.
First the good stuff: excellent location in a fairly quiet neighborhood. The dockside is beautiful, and this was within easy walking distance of museums and Beatles sights and the ferry - all of which we wanted to see. Also it was a spacious apartment, with plenty of room for our family of four, and the dishwasher and washing machine/dryer in the apt were convenient. Now the bad - this was definitely NOT a "luxury" apt: thin carpets; worn out blinds that let in all the summer light; stuffy inside unless windows and door were all open, since the water heater is super hot; could feel the bedsprings in the worn out master bedroom bed; mildew everywhere in the shower (which was missing a handle to open the door); dish cloth was so old and dirty it was grey and I was afraid to touch it; kitchen sink with food particles in it when we arrived. Also, obtaining the key fob (which was attached to the key chain with scotch tape, and which fell off into the recesses of our car when we tried to use it), was very difficult. Pedestrian gate codes, car gates so you couldn't leave without the special thing attached to the key chain with scotch tape - it all made finding and accessing the apt and the parking difficult and stressful. I would not come back here, and I would not recommend it to any of my friends.
had a ball, great location and lovely apartment
Three of us stayed here for a weekend , I cant say a bad word about the place , definitely recommend!
Wonderful two bedroomed apartment with modern kitchen and comfortable lounge.
Clean, spacious and quiet. Ideal for our party of four.
Some minor quibbles but they did not detract from the overall positive of this apartment.
When we arrived at the flat both bathrooms were very dirty. The master had mold on the walls and ceiling there was mold on the shower tiles and all around the track of the shower door. I had to clean the shower tray because it had a black ring around it. The floors in both bathroom were covered in hairs and were very dirty in the corners. We had been in London for 2 weeks prior to our stay in Liverpool and we needed to do some laundry the washer was broken and we made many calls to the owners to have it repaired. We told not to keep calling them as they were trying to get it fixed and one of them worked nights. As they only supplied 6 towels for 4 people and we had no means of washing them I had to go and buy some. At the end of the second week it was still not repaired and we had to go to the launderette which cost 25 pound for taxis and the machines. We were given a refund of 50 pounds for the inconvenience. The owner told my husband he had never see so much fuss for a small matter. There were other things in this flat that we complained about there was a broken frying pan that actually swiveled in my hand while cooking. There was no ironing board cover or oven glove. The owner did bring these thing over the first week. But the general condition is grimy and dirty all the light switches and the walls around them are very dirty. As were the French doors there was kids sticky hand marks on the glass. The vacuum needed to be emptied and there was no dust pan or brush. I read some comments left by other guests and the broken handle on the shower was in 2010 it's still broken and the mold from the leak was in 2015 still not repaired. Also none of the extraction fans in the bathrooms or the kitchen work. On a positive note the location is great, the bedding was clean freshly laundered. This flat could be so much better it's an ideal size so come on guys get in some professional cleaners and put in some wifi everywhere we stayed during our month in England had wifi. Get the repairs done! You have a good property take care of it and take care of your guests.

New research [1] in the journal First Monday, however, suggests students may be more aware of privacy issues than they are given credit for. The research followed college students during 2009 and 2010 and found that as news spread of Facebook's privacy issues, more students started to modify their privacy settings, suggesting both awareness of the public debate and concern about its ramifications.

McFadden contract extension to boost under-pressure Leinster
FERGUS McFADDEN looks set to commit his future to Leinster and Ireland by signing a two-year contract extension with the European champions.
The 26-year-old Kildare man had attracted interest from Premiership clubs in England and Top 14 outfits in France, but looks set to remain with his native province and build on the steady improvement he has shown in recent years.
McFadden has established himself as a regular in the blue jersey over the past three seasons and has been a consistent performer this campaign in a difficult year for the province.
His next challenge is to become a more regular fixture in the starting Ireland team. He has won 16 caps since his debut against Italy in 2011, eight of which have come from the bench.
Initially a centre, McFadden has impressed as an explosive winger since adapting his game to play on the flank and his versatility has been valuable at both provincial and international level.
The news comes as a welcome boost for Leinster coach Joe Schmidt, who is expected to welcome Rob Kearney and Brian O'Driscoll back into his match-day squad for tomorrow night's trip to face Edinburgh.
Kearney has played just 32 minutes this season after injuring his back against Connacht in September, but he and Ireland captain O'Driscoll – who underwent an ankle operation in November – have made quicker-than-expected recoveries from surgery.
Their return could give the European champions a major lift ahead of next week's do-or-die Heineken Cup clash with the Scarlets at the RDS.

Detention laws like hostage taking in Iraq: lawyer
Page Tools
A leading human rights lawyer today likened Australia's immigration detention laws to terrorists taking hostages in Iraq.
Julian Burnside QC said it was not an offence to arrive in Australia without a visa and ask for asylum.
Yet the Government was locking up asylum seekers and their children without charge for years, ostensibly to send a message to people smugglers, he said.
"None of these people have committed an offence, so by definition we've got innocent people held in jail for three years plus," Mr Burnside told the Ten Network's Meet The Press program.
"We're jailing innocent human beings and we're jailing them in order to send a message to other people.
"Now the mistreatment of innocent human beings to mould the behaviour of others is seriously bad conduct and it's conduct which most people would not approve of.
"It's the sort of thing that hostage takers do. It's the sort of thing that terrorists do."
Mr Burnside said the message seemed to have got through to the people smugglers, with no new arrivals recently.
"From now on, the cruelty seems to be quite pointless," he said.
"We know that the people who are held in immigration detention have not committed any offence.
"Quite frankly, if they had committed an offence, do you think that any court would sentence children to three years imprisonment for coming along with their parents without a visa? Of course they wouldn't. It is not an offence to arrive in Australia without a visa and ask for asylum."
Mr Burnside said the only place the laws could be tested would be in the International Criminal Court.
"But more importantly I think this has got to be exposed in the court of public opinion," he said.
"What we're doing to innocent asylum seekers fails every test of democratic principle."
The Immigration Minister, Amanda Vanstone, last week announced that some long-term detainees whose asylum claims had been rejected would be allowed to live in the community until they could be sent to another country, as long as they accepted the Government's decision and renounced all appeal attempts.
Australian Democrats Leader Lyn Allison said people were being blackmailed into agreeing not to take further action.
Senator Allison said the people whose appeals were still before the courts were much less likely to abscond than those whose cases had been fully heard.
"In our view, there should be no-one in detention unless they are a security or a health risk," Senator Allison told the Ten Network's Meet The Press program.
"It is indeed a small change and I think the Governments' actions have been really disappointing."
Senator Allison is chairing an inquiry into mental health care in Australia, triggered by the case of mentally ill Australian resident Cornelia Rau, who was wrongly kept in immigration detention for 10 months.
Senate Allison said mentally ill people were hugely over-represented in prisons and the inquiry would look at whether prisons and detention centres actually made people mentally ill.
"Having been to Maribyrnong detention centre many times, I've seen people deteriorate in terms of their mental state," she said.
"So I'm in no doubt whatsoever that immigration detention centres cause people illness."

This is the debt I pay
Just for one riotous day,
Years of regret and grief,
Sorrow without relief.
Pay it I will to the end --
Until the grave, my friend,
Gives me a true release --
Gives me the clasp of peace.
Slight was the thing I bought,
Small was the debt I thought,
Poor was the loan at best --
God! but the interest!

NO sooner has the return of Dallas started on Channel 5 than new developments with the filming of the revived American television show have forced Charlene Tilton to pull out of the Grand Opera House pantomime in York.
Charlene, who plays Lucy Ewing in the Texan oil dynasty soap opera, had been the poster girl for New Pantomime Productions' production of Sleeping Beauty.
Taking her place will be former Emmerdale soap star Deena Payne, who will play the evil fairy Carabosse alongside veteran comedian Syd Little's King Egbert The Umpteenth.
Deena starred as Viv Hope in the Yorkshire farming soap from 1993 to 2011, becoming one of Emmerdale's longest-serving characters.
Sleeping Beauty will run from December 14 to January 6.

Tigo announced the launch of a pilot
project, known as Tigo Kilimo, which aims to provide farmers
with relevant and timely agricultural information from their mobile
Farmers can access this service via
their mobile phones by simply dialing *148*14#, bringing them to the
Tigo Kilimo menu. The menu screen will display a list of general
information on daily weather forecast, comprehensive details on soil
management, pest control methods on more than 20 common vegetable,
fruit and grain crops, and information on livestock care and
life-cycle, the press realize said.
Tigo Kilimo is an SMS-based
application which presents small-scale farmers in Tanzania with an
unprecedented opportunity to run their operations more productively.
Through this platform, it said, farmers get real-time information on
weather forecast and agricultural tips. Further, it enables them to
increase their yield and help close the productivity gap with other
parts of the world.
Using mobile phone based
agricultural solutions will create linkages and help farmers improve
their farming practices, said Yaya Ndjore, project manager for
Tigo Kilimo service at Tigo Tanzania. The impact of
poor transport and communications infrastructures, mean that farmers
in developing countries struggle to get access to vital agricultural
information, as well as training and advice on topics such as pests
and diseases, weather and proven farming practices. Through this
service, Tigo will offer new, cost-effective and scalable solutions
to address these challenges, he said.
In the second phase of the project,
Tigo will add more services, such as information on market price, as
well as to set up an interactive helpline for farmers to call in for
advice, the statement said.

You sit down and plan a golf outing with your buddies. You check the forecast and call to establish a tee time. In the world of everyday golf you will get rained out especially in the Northeastern US.
Now imagine planning a world class golf tournament in the desert country of the UAE. Average annual rainfall is less than 2 inches a year. You would figure you are pretty safe from experiencing any delays that are so common with golf played in Florida. Not this year.
Today the Dubai Desert Classic experienced a rain and lightning delay from a heavy thunderstorm. Forcing the field off the course for over 2 hours. Currently Ross Fisher from England is in the lead at -14 and Tiger finished his round at -9.
Only in golf can a thunderstorm pop up in the desert and ruin your outing.
