Comanche Boy never found his rhythm. Rodriguez connected with a solid right in the second round and from then on all CB could do was play defense. He did fight valiantly in rounds 3-5...even landing a few punches that knocked Rodriguez back a little, but there was no doubt whose fight it was after the second. Hated to see him lose, but now is his chance to get back in the ring and work on building a national resume with more boxers outside the OK/TX area. Good Luck Champ.
Boxer Comanche Boy Fights Valiantly, but Suffers First Pro Defeat
George Tahdooahnippah knew it was coming.
The 34-year-old middleweight, who is nicknamed Comanche Boy, entered the professional boxing ranks back in 2004. But until this past Friday he had never tasted defeat.
Tahdooahnippah, who has Comanche and Choctaw ancestry, suffered the first loss of his pro career in a February 15 bout versus Delvin Rodriguez.
The bout was held at the Mohegan Sun casino, located in Uncasville, Connecticut. It was the main event on ESPN's Friday Night Fights broadcast.
Rodriguez was declared the winner following a sixth-round technical knockout. The referee stopped the bout, which was scheduled for 10 rounds, at the 2:41 mark of the sixth round as Rodriguez was continually pounding Tahdooahnippah.
"I knew a long time ago I was going to lose one day," Tahdooahnippah said. "A loss is part of any sport. I knew it was coming at some point and in a way I kind of wanted to experience it so I could get it out of the way."
The loss dropped Comanche Boy's record to 31-1-1. With the victory, Rodriguez, a native of the Dominican Republic, improved his record to 27-6-3.
Though Tahdooahnippah was undefeated heading into Friday's bout, Rodriguez was favoured to come out on top as he had battled more experienced pugilists in his past.
During his career, Rodriguez, who is 32, has twice fought for world championships. But he lost both of those bouts.
For Comanche Boy, who lives in Lawton, Oklahoma, the Rodriguez bout signified the biggest of his career.
Despite the loss he is hoping to rebound and to move up the ranks, hopefully to the point where he can challenge for a world belt within the next few years.
Though Rodriguez dominated Friday's bout from the onset, Tahdooahnippah believes he would be able to claim a victory if the two fighters ever squared off again.
Comanche Boy blamed a slow start for his performance.
"I went in there in the first round and I thought I had time to feel him out and see what his style would be," he said. "But he came out fast and I came out slow."
With each passing round Tahdooahnippah felt that Rodriguez would tire out, giving him a chance to provide an upset. But that never materialized.
"I couldn't disrupt his rhythm," Comanche Boy said. "I just felt flat. I started off slow and it just wasn't a good night for me. I should have jumped on him from the get-go."
Though he might eventually watch a tape of the fight, Tahdooahnippah already knows he's not going to like the way he performed.
"I was fighting to survive," he said. "I wasn't fighting to win."
Tahdooahnippah was impressed though with the support he received at the bout. About 100 of his supporters made the trek from his home state to Connecticut to watch the bout in person.
Comanche Boy felt simply being in the main bout of ESPN's Friday Night Fights broadcast was a victory in itself.
"That night was great for our people," he said. "I had a lot of support from Indians from all nations."
It also marked the first time in Tahdooahnippah's career that he was in the main event on the ESPN broadcast. He had been included on three previous broadcasts, all as an undercard performer, in four-round bouts.
Despite his setback in the ring last Friday, Tahdooahnippah is looking forward to future matches.
"I just have to go back to the drawing table and correct the things I did wrong," he said. "Ultimately though it was a learning experience for me."
Following a brief break, Comanche Boy is expected to return to the ring to start training for his next battle. Though nothing has been signed, he expects his next bout to be this summer.
"I don't know where it will be," he said. "But it doesn't matter."
What is known though is that his one career loss has not dampened his spirits.
"The best things are still to come," he said.

My son was trained by Delvin when he was trying just to make a living in Danbury ,Connecticut while he was training for his dream of becoming a champion. He was polite,soft spoken,and proud of his nationality,a true gentleman.He was also a very good boxing teacher ,very technical and taught basics that were to be the foundation of a good solid boxer. George fought bravely Friday night ,and it's more impressive when he was fighting a more skilled and experienced opponent ,taking a lot of punishment and not backing up.George is proud of his fight as he should be and knowing that he would loose one day should take some solice in knowing he was beaten by a future champion that is also a good human being and a true warrior like George himself.

Show Bits brings you the 55th annual Grammy Awards through the eyes of Associated Press journalists. Follow them on Twitter where available with the handles listed after each item.
For the Grammy Awards official after-party, celebrants went to India.
Actually, they just went to the Los Angeles Convention Center, right next door to the Staples Center where the 55th annual Grammy ceremony was held, but the space inside was transformed into a Bollywood party.
Belly dancers writhed rhythmically on various stages beneath lanterns and bright pink canopies, while aerial gymnasts dangled overhead. The massive ballroom was dotted with such stages and food stations boasting fare from Asia and America.
The B-52s and Estelle performed, drawing partygoers to the dance floor.
Multiple Grammy-winner Skrillex was among the celebrants, but he made an early exit — likely to attend one of many private post-Grammy parties planned for throughout the city.
— Sandy Cohen, www.twitter.com/APSandy.
The Recording Academy's president says this year's great clothing cover-up kerfuffle was "much ado about nothing."
A memo from CBS surfaced earlier this week advising Grammy participants to avoid wearing see-through clothing and to make sure "buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered" during the show's broadcast.
"For some reason people thought this was something new or different or even foreboding as far as being restrictive," Neil Portnow said backstage after the show.
What was outlined in the memo was simply the standard the show has followed every year for at least a decade, he said.
What's more, he added, every TV network has to communicate its standards and practices to anyone appearing on its shows.
Jennifer Lopez and Kelly Rowland, who both wore only slightly revealing outfits, joked about the memo.

Colombian rocker Juanes has been so inspired by performing the songs of his idols at Grammy events this week that he plans to include a few English tracks on his new album.
"Now I can sing in English easier than before," he said backstage after performing a bilingual version of Elton John's "Your Song." "Probably I'm going to do some tracks. Maybe four."
Juanes also performed Bruce Springsteen's "Hungry Heart" at Grammy's MusiCares event honoring The Boss over the weekend.
"It was such a great opportunity for me," he said. "I just met Elton John tonight. I met Bruce last year. ... They are an inspiration to me. I grew up listening to all this music when I was a teenager, and now I understand them a lot more so I love them even more."

CARRIE UNDERWOOD's PROJECTOR DRESS
Carrie Underwood used the huge skirt of her gray dress as a digital projector during her Grammy Awards performance.
As she sang "Blown Away" and " Two Black Cadillacs" various images flashed on her dress.
"They can do a lot of amazing things with projectors these days," she said backstage, holding her trophy for best country solo performance. "We had a dress especially made. I said I should take that home and we can watch movies on it."
Underwood said she had to stand in a specific spot on the Staples Center stage to make it work.
"It took a lot of precision," she said.
— Beth Harris — Twitter http://twitter.com/bethharrisap
Justin Bieber can't catch a break.
Not only was the superstar singer not nominated for a Grammy, but a Ustream session that Bieber launched at the same time as the ceremony Sunday to answer questions from fans crashed because it was overloaded. The technical snafu immediately began trending on Twitter, inspiring such popular hashtags as (hash)ThankYouForTryingJustin and (hash)JustinUseRedTube.

Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen - Greensboro
Online Reservations
I found this restrarant online and after reading reviews and checking out the menu decided it was a good choice for our group. Two of three of us were dieting and the menu supported some lighter choices. While it would have been a plus to have nutrition information availed, there were some items flagged as healthy choices. One in our group had salmon and salad and was delighted. I chose the black cakes (the server suggested) and could not finish my meal. It was too much food. The third person in our party had the beef Stew and was quite satisfied. We arrived early (45 minutes before our reservation) and despite the wait for tables, we were seated immediately. The service was very good. I will definitely be back!
Greeted promptly and table ready on arrival. Hostess was friendly. Server was prompt and for the most part attentive. He did not seem happy to be our server. Did not offer info or suggestions on the menu. Had to ask a specific question if we wanted to know any info. Food was good, but not excellent. Many of the sides were not hot or even warm when they arrived at the table. Ribeye was not tender, but good flavor. Presentation of food was very nice. I would definetly give them another try!
The shrimp cakes and heart health green beans were great.
We are always on the lookout for new and interesting restaurants around Greensboro and we happy to find this one. They use local farmers for the restaurant and have a very extensive wine list. We thoroughly enjoyed the food; we enjoyed appetizers, dinner, and dessert during our meal and enjoyed everything we ate. The one disappointment we had was our server. It was a busy night and with two large dinner groups (I guess H.S. Homecoming was that evening). Once these large parties arrived and were seated our service went down hill. There was a lot of waiting for everything we did and it did not make our meal flow smoothly.
The whole family left very satisfied. I wish you were closer to Jamestown.
This is the first time myself and my wife have eaten there. The service was great and we love how they use local farmers for food supplies.
Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Came for lunch on my wife bday, did not like how nothing from the restaurant was provided for it like a small serving cake with ice creme. But everything else was wonderful.
We've been visiting Greensboro for more than 30 years, and just heard about this restaurant from a family member. From service to food, a class place. Wait staff worked well as a team. Food came on time and well preswented. Many interesting choices.
Arrived at 6:00 pm, had fantastic fried chicken and a really huge and delicious brownie with ice cream and syrup. Martha Bassett and friends played until 9:30. They were GREAT! We stayed till the end. Good food and great music. What more can you ask for? (Well, the Old Chub Scotch Ale was good, too!)
I've lived in the area all my life and finally went to Lucky 32's. I was happily surprised it was not as expensive as the outside appearance appeared. Our food and drinks were GREAT! My wife and I will definitely return.
The atmosphere was very warm and the food was delicious. We were visiting my son and his wife in Franklinville. They suggested we eat at Lucky 32. I enjoyed the southern dishes. I tried some things I had never eaten and loved them. We hope to try some new things when we visit next time.
Perfect Spot. Reasonable prices, unique menu, excellent atmosphere!
We always have a very nice time when we dine at Lucky 32. It is a family favorite and a great place to get together with our extended family. The service is always excellent and the food, whatever each of orders, is always delicious. A gem for Greensboro!!
I had some special dietary needs and requests and the waitress and chef was terrific handling the changes without any problem. Service was great and the food tasty.
First time trying this restaurant drinks were great, food was very good, staff was very helpful and polite! We will be visiting again soon!
We stayed at the O'Henry Hotel and our driver recommended the restaurant and the hotel had free shuttle service. We were visiting from Northern Michigan, so it was wonderful to experience Southern cuisine. We had the fried green tomatoes, jambalaya, corn bread, collard greens, green beans and finished with the peanut butter cream pie. It was to die for! We will definitely go back again on our next market trip.
I've been here several times now. The food is incredible and service is excellent. You can tell the take pride in their work and genuinely enjoy giving great service. One of the best menu's I've seen for such a reasonable price. Would recommend to many. Will be back again and again.
If you want to support the local economy and savor the tastes of the south, visit Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen! From locally grown and made products, enjoy traditional southern recipes as well as monthly favorites from specific southern regions. I enjoyed Brunswick Stew created using the Dan Valley Community Center's recipe. Dessert is always a must! Their peanut butter pie is sure to satisfy and maybe even share. Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen serves up a superb dining experience!
We enjoy dining at Lucky 32 on special occasions, as well as spur-of-the-moment ideas. Always a special treat, the servers, staff and management do no hesitate to make special accommodations to any of our sometimes unusual requests. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the music can be too loud. However, I give L32 a five-star rating and will be returning.
Had a fantastic dining experience! Loved our service and the food was fabulous.
I have eaten here several times and I have never been disappointed. I love the seasonal menu changes and the fact that they purchase a lot of their food from local farmers. Highly recommend this restaurant.
I had a delightful time and the rather unique restaurant. Interesting dishes that are very pleasing to the palate.
This was my first time at Lucky 32 and had heard many nice comments about this restaurant. I was very pleased that all was true. Great menu- good food- and reasonably priced. Great place to take a client for lunch. Looking forward to trying dinner as well.
We were in Greensboro for the weekend and decided to try this place. What a gem! I can't wait to find another reason to be back in Greensboro so we can go here again. Everything was outstanding, and priced right.
We lived in the Triad several years ago and had gone to Lucky 32 when it first opened. Our youngest son has just relocated to Greensboro and we went down for a birthday dinner. Not being from the area we made a reservation at Lucky 32 but were a little leary since it had been so long since we had been there. What a surprise. We had great food great service and it did not break the bank. It is nice to see that a restaurant will stand the test of time and this one certainly did. We plan to go back when we are in Greensboro again
Had a truly wonderful experience at lucky 32 on Sunday. Brunch menu offers many varied selections.
Unique and delicious upscale Southern food! I loved that many ingredients were sourced locally, too. Our server was attentive and made great suggestions - Voodoo Pig Bread and Lamb Spoonbread.
I selected one of the Quaintance Restaurants for our pre symphony dinner because the food is always wonderful, the service is always excellent and because they are supporters of the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra. It just makes good sense that I suggested to my group of 12 a local restaurant who supports local non profits. Other great choices in the Quaintance group are Green Valley Grill and the Bistro at the Proximity. The staff was conscious of our time constraints and offered to split all of our bills and not add on a hefty surcharge for our large group. It was a win win. We loved everything about Lucky 32.
Marvel at the variety on their menu; good, efficient service; requested quiet spot for two gals to chat over lunch and were placed in ideal location. We've returned every time we find ourselves in Greensboro. What's not to like?
it was very fancy. a little pricey but the steak was good.
Everything was very good. We got the "back room" behind the bar which was nice and quiet for our party of 8. The only negative was the dish my wife ordered was odd - served cold (by design) and I tried it and it simply did not have much flavor. However, the staff offered to replace it and my wife chose not to. It wasn't poorly prepared I just found it not to be something I liked.
The food and service were both excellent. However, we were first seated at a very small booth very close to the door, very drafty and too cold for us. We asked to be moved further from the door and they did so, as well as moving us to a much larger booth, certainly preferable!?
I frequent Lucky 32 for business meetings as well as for personal outings. Service, food, attention to detail--all are top notch.
Food quality and service was excellent . Our group had an enjoyable evening.
Consistency of service and overall quality of food and presentation = an enjoyable experience!!
Dinner was amazing! We were a group of four who all had different meals, including one vegetarian and we all had an delicious meal!
We were going to be in town for a concert, do I asked a local resident for a dining recommendation. So glad I did! The menu was an eclectic fusion of southern dishes and tastes. I highly recommend the pulled pork served on Johnny Cakes...delicious!
4 of us wanted a nice meal before the Eagles concert in G'boro Saturday night. We were really excited about the show HOWEVER I almost forgot about the show because of the great service and good food! The wait staff anticipated our needs and although the restaurant was very busy we didn't wait for anything. Thanks for the meal before going to Hotel California!!
My friends and I came to Greensboro Saturday evening from Winston (2) and Supply (2) for the Eagles concert. I wanted a place that was close to the Coliseum, reasonably priced, with a wide menu variety. Lucky 32 met that and more. All 4 of us enjoyed our food which was perfectly prepared. The noise level and lighting were "age appropriate" for us baby boomers, yet the atmosphere was lively. ALL of the waitstaff and greeters were extremely warm, courteous and knowledgeable. I will definitely return there.
It was our 32nd anniversary. So it was appropriate to celebrate at lucky 32. Service was great, food very good. Could not have asked for a better waitress. My food was cold but good. I did not say anything because of the moment and just wanted to enjoy the evening. Overall it was a very good experience. Thank-you.
I chose this restaurant for a business dinner and was very pleased with everything since I had not been here before and do not live in Greensboro. The service was very good and the ambiance was casual, but sophisticated. The food was really unique and my northern visitors really liked the southern influence. They were very patient with us since our meeting went late and we were the last ones to leave. I would return the next time I am in Greensboro.
Lucky 32 never disappoints! Service is great and food is fantastic!
If you've eaten here, you know what to expect. If you haven't, you're missing out. Great Southern cooking, but it's not your grandma's food.
We met family members for dinner in Greensboro because it was about midway for us and them. The food, service, location were all very good. We'd do it again. If it weren't so far away we'd frequent Lucky's 32 more frequently.
My wife and I have visited Lucky 32 many times. When choosing a very nice place for a party of six (coworkers and family) we chose Lucky 32. We were not disappointed. Food service and ambiance were great. Lucky 32 delivered as expected and we had a wonderful evening.
We celebrated my dad's 80th birthday at Lucky 32 and it was perfect! Service, food, ambiance and cocktails were all outstanding. Thank you Karen and Jay, and thank you to your team for making our experience a memory that will last a lifetime. If you are heading to Lucky 32 you have to do yourself a favor and order the North Alabama Chicken Bread! Also, the Upset the Apple Cart cocktail was awesome!
We asked for a quiet table. Then we asked them to turn down the piped-in music. Still it was noiisy. We love this place but wish they would soften the acoustics.
Celebrated a friend's birthday at lucky 32 because it's a great place for gatherings. The food, drink, and service was great.
Visited Lucky 32 for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. Overall, the food and service were good. We enjoyed everything we ordered, with the exception of the sweet potato cheesecake -- it didn't have very much of a sweet potato taste, and it was a little watery -- like it had been frozen and thawed. The waiter took it back and removed it from our bill with no problem. Will back to try the lunch and dinner menus.
I love lucky 32s for the great food and the best local food I can find around. everything is so fresh and I had a great time. I definitely have to make this a monthly stop.


text: I visited the stall at Mercado La Paloma last year, and also could not understand the level of praise Mo-chica was receiving. I am Peruvian, grew up in Lima, and know my way around the Lima restaurant scene. Mo-chica was nowhere near any of the better restaurants in Lima; it could never compete with the most acclaimed ones. The only explanation I can find is that it introduced Angelenos to Peruvian fusion food, in the case of Picca and now the new Mo-chica, in a sophisticated setting (most Peruvian restaurants in the US are rustic and serve traditional "criollo" food). I should note I have visited Picca, but not the new location of Mo-chica (but based on my previous experience, I do not plan to).

New Jersey Brow Lift – Surgery Procedure and Recovery

- Additional Resources
If people tell you that you look angry or sad, an aging forehead with drooping eyebrows and wrinkled forehead skin may be to blame. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and tone. Gravity wins out, causing our forehead skin and eyebrows to sag. In addition, a lifetime of facial animation and corrugator muscle activity causes a progressive deepening of the wrinkle lines in our forehead skin. The corrugator muscles are located beneath the inner aspect of the eyebrows. They cause us to frown, eventually developing vertical wrinkle lines between the eyebrows, and are a major contributor to horizontal wrinkles in the forehead as well.
Non-invasive treatments such as neurotoxins, fillers, and skin resurfacing can provide temporary forehead rejuvenation.
More permanently, a surgical forehead or brow lift is a good solution to rejuvenate these aging changes in your forehead. A brow lift accomplishes several goals:
- Raises the eyebrows to a more normal position
- Smoothes the transverse wrinkles across the forehead and between the eyebrows
- Restores a more well rested and youthful appearance
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, there were 24,431 forehead lifts in 2012 on both men and women across the country.
How do I Determine What's Best for Me in Treating my Aging Forehead and Eyebrows?
A number of options currently exist to treat the signs of aging in the forehead and eyebrows. During your initial consultation, Dr. Parker will listen to what bothers you, take a medical history, and perform a physical examination of your forehead and face focusing on the areas around your eyes. He will assess your eyebrow position, upper eyelid skin excess, the wrinkles in your forehead and those between your eyebrows, and the quality of your forehead skin. Dr. Parker will review his findings with you and discuss the various treatment options available.
Are there Non-surgical Treatment Options for my Forehead Wrinkles and Sagging Eyebrows?
In considering treatment options, we first think of non-surgical options. Though temporary, neurotoxins such as BOTOX and Dysport can be used to elevate the outer aspect of the eyebrows and soften or eliminate wrinkling between the eyebrows and in the forehead. We often refer to this as a "chemical brow lift."
Fillers can be used to plump out very deep depressions in between the eyebrows if they do not completely disappear after neurotoxin injections. Fillers can also be used in conjunction with neurotoxin injections to raise the outer aspect of the eyebrows.
Discoloration and fine wrinkling of the forehead skin may be improved with skin care products, a chemical peel, or laser resurfacing. Dr. Parker and his team will discuss the details of these treatments with you, as well as their duration, at your initial consultation.
What surgical options are available to treat my forehead wrinkles and sagging eyebrows?
During your initial consultation, Dr. Parker will likely review surgical options for forehead and brow rejuvenation. These typically include brow lift techniques and often, options for upper eyelid blepharoplasty. If more comprehensive facial rejuvenation is desired, other procedures can be performed at the same time such as lower eyelid blepharoplasty and facelift surgery.
Are there Different Types of Brow Lifts?
For many years, a coronal brow lift, requiring an ear-to-ear incision behind the hairline, was considered the standard procedure for brow rejuvenation. Dr. Parker and many other respected plastic surgeons have found the less invasive endoscopic brow lift to be as effective as a coronal brow lift, but with much smaller incisions. In selected patients, the combination of a temporal brow lift with transpalpebral corrugator resection is quite satisfactory, as well. In patients desiring or requiring less of a brow lift, a lateral brow lift or brow pexy is also effective. These procedures are considered "minimally invasive," resulting in shorter scars and quicker, easier recoveries than coronal brow lifts.
What is Involved with an Endoscopic Brow Lift?
During an endoscopic brow lift, Dr. Parker will make three small incisions, each about ¾" in length, just behind your anterior hairline. This will allow him to insert a thin telescopic probe, called an endoscope, connected to a camera and television monitor. Guided by the endoscope, he will surgically separate your forehead skin from the underlying tissues. This will allow Dr. Parker to remove a significant portion of the corrugator muscles using the endoscope for optimal visualization. He will elevate your eyebrows into a more youthful position and hold them in place with sutures. The small incisions will then be closed with sutures.
This 41 year old patient underwent an endoscopic brow lift and an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. She also had correction of her drooping left upper eyelid, or ptosis correction, by Dr. Parker.
What is a Temporal Brow Lift with Transpalpebral Corrugator Resection?
In those patients undergoing an upper lid blepharoplasty who have little sagging of the inner aspect of their eyebrows and only mild laxity of skin in between the eyebrows, a temporal brow lift is a very good choice. A 1½-inch incision is made in the temporal part of your scalp behind the hairline. Dr. Parker will separate the temporal and forehead skin from the underlying tissues. He will elevate the outer aspect of your eyebrows into a more youthful position and stabilize them in place with sutures. The temporal scalp incisions will then be closed with sutures. Dr. Parker will then perform what is known as a transpalpebral corrugator resection, removing the corrugator muscles under direct vision through the upper eyelid incision (medically, this is referred to as "transpalpebral"). Removing the corrugator muscles offers long-term option for softening of frown lines and forehead wrinkles.
This 50 year old patient underwent transpalpebral resection of her corrugator muscles through her upper lid blepharoplasty incision. At the same time, she had a temporal brow lift performed along with a lower lid blepharoplasty and facelift.
What is Involved with a Lateral Brow Lift?
A lateral brow lift, otherwise known as a lateral brow pexy, can be performed during an upper lid blepharoplasty through the upper lid blepharoplasty incision. Using this approach, Dr. Parker will moderately elevate the outer aspect of your eyebrows by suspending them internally with sutures. This requires approximately 30 minutes performing in addition to your upper lid blepharoplasty procedure. It adds very little to your recovery afterwards. Lateral brow pexy should provide mild elevation of the outer aspect of your eyebrows, as shown by the patient below.
This 54 year old patient, at the time of her upper lid blepharoplasty, also underwent a lateral brow lift, or browpexy, to slightly elevate the outer aspect of her eyebrows.
What is Recovery Like with Brow Lift Procedures?
The brow lift procedures discussed above usually require approximately one hour to perform in our fully certified, on site ambulatory surgical facility, Surgiplex. Patients are made comfortable with monitored intravenous sedation or general anesthesia, administered by one of our board certified anesthesiologists. Patients are typically discharged one hour after completing surgery. There is usually very little postoperative pain. Patients may shower and shampoo their hair the day after surgery. Sutures are removed within ten days. Swelling and discoloration subside within 10 to 14 days. Camouflage make-up may be applied after one week. Patients may return to normal activities in seven to ten days and exercise in two weeks.
"I have strongly recommended Dr. Parker and the Spa to everyone who knows about my procedures. Everyone is attentive, informed and committed to patient's recovery and comfort." —Facial Plastic Surgery Patient

Protect Your Capital: Never Chase High Yield
by Donald Cassidy
While several versions of the so-called efficient market hypothesis (EMH) have lost many adherents in recent years, the opposite proposition—that the market is definitely not totally stupid—is clearly valid. This is crucial for investors to remember when investing for yield.
Higher current yield reflects greater risk. This is true across asset types and among securities within the same type. Investors who chase yield are gambling, knowingly or naively, that the market is wrong and that their principal will not be significantly impaired. In the current artificial low-yield climate, risk to capital is real but is being ignored more than usual, as investors seek to replicate the income streams available pre-2007.
This article covers several income-oriented asset types: high-yield bonds, preferred stocks, so-called hybrid preferreds, real estate investment trusts (REITs), master limited partnerships (MLPs), closed-end funds and utility common stocks. While the capital soundness differs by asset type, one key caution is equally true for all: High yield means high risk.

Many valid points in the article, unquestionably. However, regarding T's dividend, a look at its free cash flow seems to indicate that the dividend is well-covered. The key is nimbly to get in and out when appropriate in all situations because long-term holding is a killer of returns.

Good basic article. I agree that Quantum on line is a very valuable resource. I have used it many times to find preferred stocks and it has kept me out of some potential disasters (some RBS preferred shares three years ago).
Robert Albers from Illinois posted 5 months ago:
I truly applaud you for the reasoned research that went into this article. I have copied it out to my collection of materials on income investing in general. One thought: If you take the word "current" out of "current yield", then a certain type of dividend growth investing (with a concentration of the growth part)would result in a higher income each year one held the asset. Thus, the income goes up, and really, most income oriented investors would be OK with this. The catch is that they have to start with 3%-3% yields, and work higher over time. If someone has the time, then this is a way to reach for yield, but not "current" yield

An excellent article. I hold all of these instruments with the exception of High Yield Bonds, Hybrid Preferreds, and Mortgage REITS which I have avoided for exactly the reasons given. CEFS (Muni & Corp) have been on a declining price trend since talk (May) of Fed tapering began. I think these could be attractive in the next couple of months.

An article entitled "Top Commander Reiterates Iran's Commitment to Full Annihilation of Israel" published by the Fars News Agency, reaffirms the Iranian leadership's wish to destroy Israel despite the pressure of sanctions. The article features the pronouncements of one Hassan Firouzabadi, the "Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces". He made assertions such as "The Iranian nation is standing for its cause that is the full annihilation of Israel".
Such statements, at a time of great international tension, should make it slightly more difficult for the many Western apologists of the regime, that condemn any prospective Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. The same people are willing to play fast and loose with the lives of millions of innocents by minimising the shocking fanaticism of the regime, casting doubt on the translation of a certain famous statement (much of it a quibble over "map" rather than "pages of time"), and ignoring the prolific number of other genocidal threats that eminated from the Iranian elite since the year 2000.
It is widely acknowledged that Iran sends hundreds of millions of Dollars each year to Hamas and Hizbullah, as well as providing arms and assistance with the training of these terrorist organisations. However, the article goes on to state that during a sermon at Tehran University in the month of February, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei openly acknowledged that Iran got "directly" involved in the 2006 Lebanon War. Although it is unclear what "directly" strictly means in this instance, it may constitute some form of actual engagement with the IDF. Khamenei's comments also suggest Iran may have been involved to a similar extent in the 2008-09 Gaza War. Such an admission makes it clear Iran is engaged in an unofficial fracas with Israel, and further justifies an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities from a moral perspective, easily conforming to Just war theory. The Fars News Agency is widely understood to be affiliated with the Iranian government so any issues about "translations" should not be open to debate.
TEHRAN (FNA)- Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi said threats and pressures cannot deter Iran from its revolutionary causes and ideals, and stressed that the Iranian nation will remain committed to the full annihilation of the Zionist regime of Israel to the end.
Addressing a defense gathering here in Tehran on Sunday, General Firouzabadi said that nations should realize the threats and dangers posed by the Zionist regime of Israel. He reiterated the Iranian nation and Supreme Leader's emphasis on the necessity of support for the oppressed Palestinian nation and its causes, and noted, "The Iranian nation is standing for its cause that is the full annihilation of Israel." The top military official reminded that the Iranian Supreme Leader considers defending Palestine as a full religious duty and believes that any kind of governance and rule by anyone other than the Palestinians as an instance of usurpation....

Wheelchair Charities Inc. Donates 65 New Computers With Special Features for Disabled Residents of Coler-Goldwater
Donation Marks 40 Years and $20 Million of Giving to Coler-Goldwater by Philanthropist Hank Carter
New York, NY - Coler-Goldwater Specialty Hospital and Nursing Facility, a 2,016-bed specialty hospital and rehabilitation care nursing facility of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, today received a donation from Wheelchairs Charities Inc. (WCI) of 65 new Dell computers specially designed with the latest in assistive technology that helps make life easier for people with disabilities. The computers feature voice recognition, zoom-text, and a pointer device to facilitate use by quadriplegic individuals. The donation was presented at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Coler-Goldwater computer lab for residents by Hank Carter, Chairman and Founder of WCI, a long-time philanthropic supporter who over the last 40 years has raised $20 million dollars worth of equipment for patients and residents of Coler-Goldwater, including more than 1,000 state-of-the-art computers. Mr. Carter was joined by NBA All-Star Speedy Claxton; recording artist Maino; WBLS radio personalities Marley Marl, Hal Jackson and Debbie Jackson; HHC President Alan D. Aviles; Lynda D. Curtis, HHC Senior Vice President; and Robert Hughes, Coler-Goldwater Executive Director.
"The 65 computers donated today by Wheelchair Charities, under the guiding hand of Hank Carter, will open whole new vistas of communication to even our most severely disabled patients. The technology will enable conversations that might never have taken place, enriching the therapeutic work of our staff and the lives of our patients and their families," said Lynda Curtis, Senior Vice President of the HHC North Manhattan Network that includes Bellevue and Coler-Goldwater. "The gift continues a forty year tradition of giving by Wheelchair Charities to Coler-Goldwater -- over 1,000 computers and millions and millions of dollars to help us sustain our mission. Words cannot fully express our gratitude for this remarkable partnership."
"For nearly four decades, God's grace has given me the guidance and inspiration to carry out His mission on behalf of Coler-Goldwater thanks to the generosity of our supporters. With God's help, nothing is impossible," said Henry (Hank) Carter.
"We are forever grateful to Hank Carter and Wheelchair Charities for their on-going compassionate support and generous contributions. For close to 40 years, Hank has enabled our patients and residents to reach their fullest potential and live a much improved quality of life. Hank Carter's selfless nature and humility are powers of example to us all," said Robert Hughes, Executive Director, Coler-Goldwater.
About Wheelchair Charities, Inc.
The history of this charity dates back to the early 70's when violence filled many areas of New York City. Hank Carter's friend was hit by a stray bullet during a shoot-out on a city street and left paralyzed from the chest down. While visiting his friend at Coler-Goldwater, Carter connected with the special needs of the residents there and organized the first fundraiser in 1973, marking the beginning of Wheelchair Charities Inc.
The giving continued strong, and in 1982 the first computers were purchased for the Coler-Goldwater children's ward and later for the general patient population. Over the last 40 years, Hank Carter and WCI's strong supporters have raised $20 million dollars worth of equipment, with $3 million of that going to the purchase of 1,000 state- of- the-art computers for use by the patients and residents in the computer lab. In 2004, the New York Health and Hospitals Corporation voted unanimously to rename the Hospital's Department of Rehabilitative Medicine the Henry "Hank" Carter Rehabilitation Center—making it the first time a living person had such a distinction.
About Coler-Goldwater Specialty Hospital and Nursing Facility

Goldwater Hospital opened in 1939 and was the first public hospital in the United States for chronic diseases. Coler Hospital opened in 1952 and served a similar population.

Zen Journal
Here and now.
Communicate here
"The key is to focus on your breathing, and pay as much attention to it as possible. As other thoughts enter your mind, recognize that this has happened, notice the process. If you must, you can even examine the particular thought for a brief moment (what type of thought it is, why it may have popped into your mind), but always bring your attention back to your breath.Think about it this way, if you are consciously telling your brain to focus on your breath, but you get distracted by something, you aren't really in control, are you? That's your subconscious injecting a thought into your conscious that it thinks is more important.
Losing concentration on your breath (and you will), and bringing it back to your breath, is exactly what meditation is. It's strengthening your mind's ability to focus. It's like lifting weights for the brain; each time you lose focus and bring it back is one rep. The longer you can hold your focus on your breath, the stronger you are becoming. And yes, it can get mentally tiring! But the next time you are in a tense or stressful situation, your stronger mind will be able to handle it much better. One other important thing to note is that just because you lose focus doesn't mean you aren't meditating or that you are failing. That's part of the process. That'd be like saying just because you can't continually lift a 30lb dumbbell over and over again you are failing at working out."

Leaving Lessons
This story focuses on the relationship between a grandfather and grandson and the family legacy passed down between generations. Highlighting the Anderson family of Port Clyde, Maine, this short documentary is a portrayal of the strong influence of grandfathers on grandsons. In this family, where fishing has been a historical way of life, ever-changing times raise the issue of impermanence.
Memories of the Fire
On September 24, 1970, an explosion and fire flattened the Port Clyde Sardine factory, putting two hundred workers, mostly women, out of work, and changing the town of St. George permanently. Residents remember the factory and the fire In this video by Alex Acquisto, Ashley Cleek, Nellie Large, and Emma Weatherill, students at Salt Institute for Documentary Studies.
Getting Down to Business in Port Clyde
The lobster processing business is vital to the Maine economy. Port Clyde's prominent business is fishing, including lobster. Local fishermen, however, have been shipping their catch to Canadian processing plants. Jessie Wright-Mendoza, Katrina Roi, Wolfgang Daniel, and Gillian Fish, students at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies, paid a visit to Port Clyde and interviewed two processors: Kyle Murdock and Linda Bean, the granddaughter of the famous L.L.

PopSci Talks To Neil deGrasse Tyson About Politics, New Frontiers, and Science Evangelism
Tyson's book "Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier" is out today
2012 marks the first year in three decades that the U.S. is not launching its own publicly funded manned space vehicle, and it could also be China's year to shine, on Earth and in space. It's a transition period for American space exploration, but even amid all this change there's something greater, yet less tangible, that's lacking: As a country, we need a clear mission. America's unofficial space spokesman, Neil deGrasse Tyson, has something to say about that.
Tyson, a science crusader and regular guest on "The Daily Show" and other outlets, has a brand-new book out that tackles some of America's profound space questions. "Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier" is a collection of essays, a few of which have already appeared in other publications.
It also includes selected tweets culled from Tyson's enormously popular Twitter feed. So if you're a devoted NDT follower, some of it will feel familiar.
What is noticeably different is his tone — there's less gee-whizzery, science-is-amazing wonder, and more geopolitics and policy. Tyson said he wanted to combine his experience in government, research science, education and space evangelism, which he says gives him a unique perspective on each.
"If you've only ever been a space enthusiast, you'll say things that are not connected to geopolitical reality. If you have only ever been a politician, you will say things that are not connected to how science works. If you have only ever worked for NASA, and thought of NASA just at NASA, rather than NASA being part of a geopolitical landscape, you don't see the connection between the strings that are used to control NASA, by people who are not NASA," he said in an interview.
PopSci talked with Tyson about "Space Chronicles," remaking "Cosmos" on Fox, and how to make policymakers realize the importance — and awesomeness — of science. An edited transcript follows.
PopSci: How do you think private space exploration, or at least private space delivery, will impact the way people think about NASA and the government's role in space? There is a push and pull between people who think it's a great thing and not such a great thing that NASA is no longer launching Americans into space with our own spacecraft. What do you think about that?
Neil deGrasse Tyson: The original subtitle of the book was "Delusions of Space Enthusiasts," because the original title was "Failure to Launch: The Dreams and Delusions of Space Enthusiasts." One of the delusions — I should be kinder and say one of the points of confusion — is what role the private sector will play with regard to the activities of NASA. Many people simply got that wrong. What's going on here is the private sector is being encouraged — something, by the way, that should have happened decades ago — to actively participate in access to low-Earth orbit.
NASA has been in and out of low-Earth orbit since 1962. That is not a space frontier. If you want to think of NASA as an organization that advances a space frontier, the last place they need to be is low-Earth orbit. So you promote commercial enterprise to provide that service. Fine, I don't have a problem with that. They'll do it more efficiently, they'll do it more cheaply, they'll do it more frequently. They'll find other activities to conduct there; there could be space tourism. All of that will drive what we expect and hope to be a flourishing low-Earth orbit industry.
That is not the same thing as advancing a frontier. Period. Private enterprise cannot advance a frontier, because there is no capital market valuation of a frontier. The frontier is dangerous; it has uncertainty; there are technologies that need to be invented to even test it. The promise of financial return, which private enterprise requires, is not there, if you're the first to do it. So governments do it. The history of human culture bears this out over centuries. Governments do it first.
PS: This book is a little more politically inclined than your previous work.
NDT: Oh, certainly.
PS: You talk a lot about NASA's budget, for instance, and how politics have poisoned the agency's future vision planning. Why is it important to you to bring this message home to politicians right now?
NDT: Previous to this book, I was active as an adviser to White House, and NASA, and sort of as a public conveyor of things related to NASA. It's just my role, on TV and that sort of thing. I didn't think it ever needed to be a book; I thought I could just sort of talk about it, and people would absorb the concepts and take it to heart. But that just wasn't happening.
NASA has been in and out of low-Earth orbit since 1962. That is not a space frontier.As far as for right now, well, what is NASA going do next? Well, President Obama says we are going to Mars. Most people don't know he actually said that, but he said we're going to Mars. OK, Mr. President, when? 'Well, sometime in the 2030s.' Will you be in charge then? 'No.' He's going to be on a beach in Hawaii in 2035, and it's going to be carried out by some president to be named later. And that concerns me deeply. We live in a time when a president makes some kind of promise, but does not have the political continuity set in place for the future to make sure it follows through. President Kennedy said we will go to the moon within this decade, because he would have [still] been president, had he lived. It's something he could have shepherded. Imagine if he had said, 'we'll go to the moon sometime before the century is out.'
What this book is, is a blend of all that I have gleaned communicating with the public on matters of space and science in general; all that I have gleaned in the service of the government, seeing how it works; all that I have gleaned as a direct advisor to NASA itself; and all that I can assemble as a citizen of a nation that once went to the moon.
PS: You also talk throughout the book about China and India, and their own investments and progress in this area. What do you think we should do as a country, and what do you think people should focus on, to make sure we don't fall behind? How do we drive action on that front?
NDT: The issue here, is do people understand what it takes to achieve science literacy in a nation such as 21st century America? I don't think they understand, even people who claim they understand. Solutions to problems tend to be thought of as, 'If you do A you will solve B.' If you want people to be science literate, let's have better science teachers. This is the A-to-B thinking. Now, of course we want better science teachers. But what happens to you after you've had the science class? Maybe a flame was lit within you because the teacher was awesome, but now the teacher is gone. Will the flame stay fanned within you? There's not much left after you've had your great teacher. By then it has to be self-motivating. What kind of ambition will you have upon leaving the educational pipeline? What great, grand projects await you? We don't know. There's nothing staring at you.
When the government embarks in a major science activity, such as what we did when we went to the moon, everybody knows about it. And everybody becomes a participant in some way. Either an actual participant, by choosing to major in science because they want a taste of that frontier, or an emotional participant, because they embrace the activity — even though they become English majors.
PS: That was me. And some of our readers.
NDT: See, so you embraced it. You can embrace the idea, and the trappings that the success of those ideas will bring. People will say, with or without your great science teacher, 'I know I want to become a scientist, because we're going to Mars. I want to design the airplane that will fly in the atmosphere of Mars. I want to be a biologist and look for life in the aquifers of Mars. I want to be a geologist, because Earth is cool but Mars is cooler. I want to find out what's going on on Mars.'
And all of a sudden, the attitude and the state of mind of the nation shifts. You stimulate an entire generation of people to become scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. Out of their innovations and their curiosities, entire economies get invented. And it transforms the world, and makes tomorrow come.
PS: You're making a new version of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" series, which itself inspired a generation of people to fall in love with science. How did you get involved in this?
NDT: After Carl Sagan died, within a year of his death, I was asked to join the board of the Planetary Society. It was a great honor for me to be thought of that way, implicitly replacing him in the role as a public educator. It was in that capacity that I met Ann Druyan, his widow. She is one of the most enlightened people I know, and has a very deep sense of humanity. And when you marry that to a deep sense of the frontier of science, you have a potent storytelling mechanism to not only teach people what science is, and what it does, but why it should mean something to you, and why it matters to society and everything that we hold dear.
So we are scripting now, and I'm the host and narrator. We start shooting in the spring and it will air in spring of 2013.
PS: In the book, you also talk about the Cold War being a driving factor behind the space race. The reaction we had to the space shuttle delay after Challenger, and what that meant to us, was different when there was an enemy in Russia than it was in 2003 with Columbia. Not that anyone wants another Cold War, but will that drive a journey to Mars, if China decides to land on the moon?
NDT: If China sets up a permanent base on the moon, and tries to explore Mars on a time scale shorter than ours, that will be another space race. I am just certain of it. I am trying to get people to do this without having to view it as an act of war, or an act of a response to an adversary. One way is because of economics; the government could do this, and they could say, 'The economic return is the scientists and technologists who invent the new tomorrow.' Space exploration is the carrot that incites people to become scientifically literate. So I view it as an economic development plan.
I would rather people thought of it as, exploration is a beautiful thing and it's enlightening and inspiring. And I'll get maybe 10 percent of the people on that argument. It's the 90 percent that outnumber us.
PS: What about exploration for the sake of exploration? Lately we've been hearing a lot about exoplanets, for example. How are Kepler and other findings changing astrophysics in a larger sense? Some of these findings are really bizarre and interesting, things that we would not have expected to see in reality, that have been part of science fiction or our imaginations. How do these findings change our view of our own place in the cosmos?
NDT: Deep in the heart of that is the search for life. Any life at all, or ideally life as we know it or certainly intelligent life. That's at the heart of this motivation. Because otherwise, Kepler could be designed to look for any old planets.
We knew beginning this that we were completely ignorant of what other star systems might be like. So we were completely open to what we might find. You go with some expectations, sure, and when you find something that confounds your expectations, the press writes that as this overturns the apple cart. No, there was never an apple cart. There was, 'Maybe we could be this way, we don't know, let's find out.' So some ideas had to be rethought. Others confirmed things. Others were some things that were not even questions we had, because we didn't even know the right question to ask in the first place.
So it's not that it changes everything. The very nature of science is discoveries, and the best of those discoveries are the ones you don't expect. It's a product of doing things the right way all along. The best experiments are the ones where we are completely stunned. You know, we are always at the drawing board. If you were not at the drawing board at that day, you are not at the frontier. The frontier means you're at the drawing board at all times.

I think Dr. Tyson is an exemplary scientist and science-educator, and I agree that space exploration is an invaluable endeavor. But I would remind him that curiosity (not space) is the final frontier. Fewer than 10% of the species on earth have been identified and catalogued. Our oceans, rain forests, and remote areas are largely unexplored. The greatest change to earth in the past 65 million years has come in the last century, with a 40-fold increase in trade and transportation, and a tripling or quadrupling of the human population. This brought all the continents back together in the "homogezine period" where plants, animals, and diseases are shared across the globe. Curiously, more than twice the number of Americans believe in angels than evolution. Yet the total budget for ecological sciences is dwarfed 60-fold by the NASA budget. Our priorities may be out of place—we have many problems to solve on earth.
While I am a HUGE fan of NDT, and I almost always agree with his views, I sense a lack of understanding from him of just how much people have changed over the past few generations. Mars will never have the same "Gee Whiz" appeal to my (20-something) generation as it did to those a few decades older. The novelty of space exploration in general has faded to something almost passe. While that may annoy and possibly offend some of you it is the truth, but there is no reason to be upset about this. We as a society do not bat-an-eye now when a jet's cruise speed is given in MACH numbers, even though a few decades ago, the sound barrier was considered a frontier.
Change is inevitable, we just have to adapt, and move forward. Energy should be considered the new frontier and scientific focus.
If our government wants to get kids exciting about science, then our society will need to start treating our scientists and engineers like celebrities and rock stars, because there are plenty of kids lining up to be the next Kardashian.
In reply to TomSColorado2:
Curiosity is the fuel that ignites the urge to explore a frontier. Whether or not is final or not is subjective, but IMO space is a frontier that is outward, Earth is a frontier that is inward. But the difference in how much substance there is to explore between the two is incomparable.
The human condition on Earth is a completely different bubble than space exploration (not that they don't affect one another). It's easy to micromanage everything that takes place on Earth and still have resources dedicated to space exploration at the same time. A lot of the science that is learned from space exploration is put to good use on Earth to help and strengthen the human condition.
America's steadfast belief in mythologies goes hand in hand with the lack of funding for any types of science. Their beliefs instill fears that in turn create bloated defense budgets and misguided basic civil liberty debates - all distractions from any personal motivation to look up at the night sky and wonder what's up there.
Our priorities are certainly out of place, but thankfully there are entities like NASA and the private sector working to help inspire new interests and creative motivations.
It's possible our sense of wonder has been overloaded with all the amazing technological advances we see regularly, especially in the form of personal gadgets, the Internet, the gee-whiz CGI in Hollywood's latest blockbusters. The virtues of scientific and technological discovery are ever-present in our lives in a way they weren't back in the 60's.
It could be that a lot of people have other interests that fire their passion as much as science and discovery feed mine. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I don't think science education has anything to do with the lack of vision that Tyson laments.
As much as I was excited about Cassini and the Mars rovers, it's tempered by the realization of how much a manned mission to Mars would cost and how dangerous it would be. Is the benefit worth it? Robotic missions are much less expensive and have dramatically increased our knowledge of the solar system and the universe. Maybe when our propulsion technology improves significantly, putting people on Mars or a colony on the moon becomes viable.
The fact that there is now a private rocket industry is hugely exciting because competition tends to facilitate all kinds of technological advances; even more than a massive government investment like we saw in the 60's did.
If you take a look around and stop focusing on the moon and Mars, you realize that science and technology are making breakthroughs all the time that capture the imagination of our kids. It's just not the moon. Or Mars.
In reply to laurenra7:
"As much as I was excited about Cassini and the Mars rovers, it's tempered by the realization of how much a manned mission to Mars would cost and how dangerous it would be. Is the benefit worth it?"
Imagine if "cost and danger" stopped the mission to put a man on the Moon in the 60s. Imagine losing all of the technological and psychological advances that were gained from such an extraordinary achievement through tenacity. The benefits were and still are tremendous. I believe the same can be said of putting a man on Mars. It's not so much about putting man on an alien planet (anyone can argue the obvious point of "why?") as it is achieving something that was otherwise impossible beforehand and learning all the new things along the way. And then applying that newly gained knowledge to evolving the collective knowledge of the species. Again, the benefits could be enormous for everyone.
"science and technology are making breakthroughs all the time that capture the imagination of our kids"
Absolutely! But there is nothing that can compare to the effect of the sheer vastness, strangeness and beauty of space on the imagination. Not to mention the undiscovered wonders that lay hidden, scattered about just waiting to be noticed. Truly a fantasy realm for the senses that no kid could resist! But like you said - there's just so many more things to capture your attention (or distract) these days.
You don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Why? If you drop the basket, then all of your eggs will crack. All humans should NOT be living on one planet. Us Humans need to colonize other planets, because it just takes one epic worldly disaster to wipe us all out. If we were living on other planets or in space, then at least the human species would survive, if there was an extinction event on Earth.
The earth has a finite size. Our exploitation of it's resources and population growth are exponential. It doesn't matter if people perceive we have decades left. How long is long enough? To live in space means to live in a self sustained and self sufficient manner. That is difficult and will take a long time to develop. The sooner we get busy, the better off we will be when it becomes necessary for our survival. Space is huge and the potential resources are also huge. Unless people want to embrace zero growth, exponential growth can only continue in space.
I really like Brian Greene too, I own three of his books and his NOVA specials, but he's a theoretical physicist. NDT is an astrophysicist and astronomer like Sagan was.
If you ever listen to NDT talk about Sagan, you'll understand that there's no one who will put more care into a Cosmos remake than he will.
There are many places in our solar system where we can never send a manned mission. Half the planets are gas giants and most of their moons are probably too distant to travel to without a major leap in technology. Mercury is too hot and too far. Venus has a surface pressure that can crush a nuclear submarine.
Man CAN go to Mars. We can do it with today's technology. Lewis & Clark's expedition took 2 years, 4 months, and 10 days. A round trip mission to Mars would only take about 1 year, 5 months, and 5 days.

No. 12 South Carolina 35, Kentucky 28: Mike Davis rushed for 106 yards and a pair of scores to lead the Gamecocks to a win over the visiting Wildcats.
Connor Shaw was 17-for-20 for 262 yards and a touchdown for South Carolina (4-1, 2-1 SEC), which outgained Kentucky 453-301. Damiere Byrd had five catches for 98 yards and a touchdown for the Gamecocks.
Kentucky (1-4, 0-2) got 178 yards passing and 69 yards rushing from quarterback Jalen Whitlow, who threw for two scores and ran for another. Ryan Timmons had four catches for 36 yards and a touchdown, while Javess Blue had four receptions for 62 yards.
The Gamecocks jumped on top early, scoring 1:39 into the game on a 62-yard hookup of Shaw to Byrd. Davis scored two straight touchdowns to push the South Carolina lead to 21 less than a minute into the second quarter.
Two Whitlow touchdown passes within two minutes of each other early in the fourth pulled Kentucky back within six, but South Carolina responded with a seven-play, 89-yard drive capped by a 2-yard touchdown run by Shaw to push the lead back to double digits. Whitlow's 1-yard touchdown run made the margin seven with 4:03 to play, but the Wildcats could never get the ball back.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Gamecocks All-American DE Jadeveon Clowney missed the game with bruised ribs. … Whitlow's 178 yards passing were a season high, as it was the first game this year that Whitlow played the entire contest. … South Carolina has won 13 of the last 14 meetings.

Hi I currently reading Gray Hat Python to learn about Debugging and various interesting techniques for binary analysis.
So far I have learned an amazing amount of stuff (just read about DLL-Injection). Two questions though:
When two processes are running with the same (non-administrative) user:
Can process A simply do kernel32.OpenProcess, kernel32.WriteMemory
on process B or is that only possible for a process A that runs with higher priviliges as B (i.e my debugger running as admin).
Why at ally would you allow something like kernel32.CreateRemoteThread

DUBLIN, N.H. (AP) - This year's edition of "The Old Farmer's Almanac" is full of household tips that its editor hopes will resonate with people looking to save money and simplify their lives in tough economic times.
In the 2012 edition that comes out Tuesday, one reader suggests recycling saved greeting cards by adding new messages.
Another advises snipping single ripped legs off of two pairs of pantyhose and layering them to create a pair that's good as new.
Editor Janice Stillman says those ideas were among the winners of this year's essay contest that asked readers to write about their best original money-saving habits.
The 220-year-old book is believed to be the oldest continuously published periodical in North America.

Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin weather is very harsh in the winter and extremely unpredictable. When I get out of work during a snowfall/snowstorm/sleeting, I would like to be able to get the snow off my windshield as quickly as possible instead of waiting and scraping.This product reduces that time substantially.I have a larger SUV, and this product covers the whole windshield and moves down onto the hood, preventing the wiper motors from freezing.Lightweight like a parachute; manipulates easily when you're trying to move quickly through the cold and wind.

By Mickey
from Davis, WV
The truck-size cover with magnets covered my Buick family car quite well, and shielded the windshield of snow. But when the wind blew at more than 25+ mph, the six small magnets were not enough to hold the cover down, much less tight enough. I used bungee cords and fireplace logs to hold down the cover, but it still flew off. There should be either more magnets or larger ones. I was definitely disappointed.
