Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai has posted an image of a new Assist Trophy in the game, and it's none other than the Skull Kid from The Legend of Zelda series. Those who played The Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess will recognize the child, whose appearance has changed for the worse after becoming lost in the Lost Woods.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - C.J. Fair scored 13 points and No. 2 Syracuse scored the final six points of the game to beat No. 19 Louisville 52-51 on Monday night, snapping a seven-game losing streak against the Cardinals.
Syracuse (26-1, 13-1 Big East) used an 8-0 run to take an eight-point lead, only to see Louisville (20-6, 8-5) rally with a 15-2 run of its own. But the Orange held the Cardinals without a point over the final 3½ minutes and Fair hit the go-ahead layup with 2:11 left.
Fab Melo scored 11 points and the best shooting team in the Big East overcame a 34.4 percent effort, including 1 of 15 from 3-point range, to win for the sixth straight time since losing at Notre Dame.
Freshman Chane Behanan had 16 points and nine rebounds for the Cardinals, who had won six straight conference games.

Are there economic benefits for Net Promoter? Yes, according to Satmetrix's Dr. Laura Brooks, one of the co-developers of Net Promoter. So what is the economics of Net Promoter?
Well, first, there is measurable economic impact from promoters as well as detractors. Straight to the punch line: On average, the relative economic impact of promoters who recommend is that they bring in additional $565 in revenue and while detractors are responsible for $701 in lost revenue. This is from a sample of B2B software companies. This data was calculated by understanding the number of referrals or negative comments these folks gave.
So promoters bring in more revenue through word of mouth marketing, but they are also a driver of revenue growth while detractors are drivers of lower growth. No surprise here. In addition, promoters total value is much more then detractors. Again, no surprise. What I found most interesting with all these benefits of promoters – they are also have a lower cost to serve. So they cost less and are more filling!
Laura talked about important to amplify promoter community through customer testimonials, inner circles, and special communities to further cement the relationship. While there is a lot of attention given to detractors by most customers it is the smart companies are also figuring out how to leverage these promoters through the power of Word of Mouth.
The last word on economics is that committed Net Promoter companies see financial gains. On average, with B2B companies studied, they experienced 23% revenue growth over a 3 year time frame, with an average 9% gain in Net Promoter.
What I wonder, with data like this, why aren't all companies using Net Promoter?

Women's golf ends fall on disappointing note
Golf tournaments in Hawaii sometimes aren't always all they are cracked up to be. First, there's the long flight and the subsequent jet lag. Then, there's the issue of actually focusing on the event. The latter can be quite a task, as picturesque ocean views and beautiful beaches can be just a little bit distracting.

SEATTLE (AP) — The paparazzi may have moved on to Apple's sexy new iPad, but the iPhone is still Wall Street's darling.
Apple said Tuesday it sold a record 8.8 million of its popular smart phones in the three months that ended March 27, more than doubling the number sold a year ago and topping last quarter's 8.7 million. The company's net income shot up 90 percent, shattering Wall Street's expectations.
Apple shares jumped to a new all-time high Wednesday. They rose $13.31, 5.4 percent, to $257.90 in early trading.
"It was a monster iPhone quarter," said Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, who was astounded that a 3-year-old device could still grow at such a clip. "It's defying the law of gravity."
While much of the consumer electronics industry has faltered during the economic downturn, Apple has been impervious, much to the delight of investors. Shares of the company skyrocketed to an all-time high in extended trading Tuesday.
Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's chief financial officer, said in an interview that strong sales came from both existing and new mobile carriers. Although AT&T Inc. remains the exclusive U.S. carrier, Apple has been selling phones through multiple carriers in other countries.
Apple's net income and revenue were its highest ever in a non-holiday quarter, Oppenheimer said. Earnings rose to $3.1 billion, or $3.33 per share, from $1.6 billion, or $1.79 per share in the same period last year.
Revenue rose 49 percent to $13.5 billion from $9.1 billion in the year-ago quarter. Revenue from iPhones and accessories made up 40 percent of Apple's total.
Analysts had expected Apple to earn $2.45 per share on $12 billion in revenue, according to a survey from Thomson Reuters.
The company said it sold 2.9 million Macs, a 33 percent increase. IPod unit sales edged down 1 percent — but Apple still sold 10.9 million of the digital players.
Apple didn't start selling the iPad, its new touch-screen tablet computer, until after the fiscal second quarter ended. During a conference call, analysts pressed for more details on Apple's decision to postpone by a month to late May the international launch of its new tablet computer.
Tim Cook, Apple's chief operating officer, said there are no production problems with the iPad. The international launch has been delayed only because of demand in the U.S., where Apple said it sold more than 500,000 iPads in its first week.
"It has shocked us, the level of demand, at least initially. We'll see what happens from here," Cook said.
Brisk iPad sales will drag down Apple's gross margin in the current quarter, which ends in June. Gross margin is the profit Apple makes on each dollar of revenue once the costs of making products are subtracted. In the second quarter, gross margin rose because a greater share of Apple's revenue came from its profitable iPhones.
New products such as the iPad are generally less profitable until companies can buy parts in higher volumes to drive down prices. Cook also said Apple was aggressive in setting low prices for the iPad.
Apple also said its margin would be lower in the current quarter because of a "future product transition." That's likely the next version of the iPhone, which analysts expect Apple to unveil in June.

New York State's Request for an Amendment to its Current Section 1115 Waiver
New York State is pleased to submit this amendment to its current Section 1115 waiver, building upon its existing Partnership Plan to expand the availability of health insurance to the uninsured, working poor. Under the new program called Family Health Plus (FHPlus), this amendment will strengthen New York State's health care system offering comprehensive health care coverage to more than 600,000 low-income adults who have incomes or assets above the current New York Medicaid levels. These individuals do not have access to health insurance coverage or cannot afford it.
The FHPlus program is the result of an unprecedented consensus among government leaders and key consumer and advocate groups, labor organizations and health care providers. Under Governor Pataki's leadership, the State legislature enacted this program as part of the Health Care Reform Act of 2000 (HCRA 2000). Together with the State-funded "Healthy New York" program, which will provide employers more affordable health insurance, HCRA 2000 offers significant new options for health care coverage in New York State.
This amendment to the Partnership Plan requests the additional waivers of several provisions of the Medicaid program so that New York State can expand eligibility for certain groups and receive federal financial participation in the costs of the FHPlus program.
Eligibility Under the Family Health Plus Program
The FHPlus program will provide comprehensive health care coverage to adults, with and without children, who have incomes or assets greater than the current Medicaid eligibility standards. Individuals meeting the following criteria will be eligible to enroll in FHPlus:
- Permanent residents of New York State.
- Age 19 through 64.
- Citizens or Medicaid eligible qualified aliens.
- Not eligible for Medicaid based on income and/or resources.
- Not in receipt of "equivalent" health care coverage or insurance.
Parent(s) living with a child under the age of 21 will be eligible if the gross family income is up to:
- 120% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) as of January 1, 2001;
- 133% FPL as of October 1, 2001; and,
- 150% FPL as of October 1, 2002.
Individuals without dependent children in their households will qualify with gross incomes up to 100% FPL.
While the majority of Medicaid eligibility standards and rules will apply, several aspects of the program will require waivers to encourage participation and ease enrollment. There are no asset or resource tests for FHPlus, nor any co-payments, premiums or other types of cost sharing. Similar to Child Health Plus (CHPlus), New York's extraordinarily successful health insurance program for children, coverage is available when eligibility is determined and enrollment in a plan has occurred (i.e., there is no retroactive coverage). Enrollees will be guaranteed an initial six months of coverage regardless of changes in circumstances. The existing Medicaid fair hearing and notice process will be used for eligibility determinations under FHPlus.
Applicants with equivalent health insurance, as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, will not be eligible for FHPlus. Moreover, to prevent employers from reducing their current commitments to provide health insurance ("crowd out"), current insurance availability will be measured during the application process. The State will monitor changes in insurance coverage among applicants. Should "crowd out" occur, the enabling legislation requires that individuals wait six months (with certain specified exceptions) before they are able to enroll in FHPlus.
Services Provided under the Family Health Plus Program
A comprehensive benefits package, similar to that provided under the State's CHPlus program, will be provided to individuals enrolled in FHPlus. Services will be provided through managed care organizations and will include:
- Physician services;
- Inpatient and outpatient health care;
- Prescription drugs;
- Smoking cessation products;
- Lab tests and x-rays;
- Vision care;
- Speech and hearing services;
- Durable medical equipment;
- Home health service (short term, acute care in lieu of hospitalization, up to 40 visits per year);
- Family planning services and supplies;
- EPSDT services;
- Emergency room services;
- Emergency ambulance transportation;
- Inpatient mental health and alcohol and substance abuse treatment (30 days per year);
- Outpatient mental health and alcohol and substance abuse services (60 visits per year);
- Diabetic supplies and equipment;
- Radiation therapy, chemotherapy and hemodialysis; and,
- Dental services (to the extent offered by the plan).
Similar to CHPlus and commercial and employer-sponsored health insurance plans, long-term care services, non-prescription medications (except smoking cessation products) and non-emergency transportation are not covered under FHPlus. Moreover, because all services are to be provided through managed care plans, there are no "wrap-around" fee-for-service provisions.
Family Health Plus Service Delivery System
An initial Request for Application will be distributed to the 37 insurers already participating in Medicaid managed care or CHPlus. Plans will be screened for current financial stability, positive survey outcomes and network capacity. By using existing plans with the proven ability to meet quality assurance, access and reporting requirements, the service delivery system will be more reliable and effective.
Despite plan recruitment efforts, it is possible that fewer than two FHPlus plans may be available in a county, particularly in low density or rural areas of the State. While only one FHPlus plan may be the sole option for obtaining care, network requirements provide choices between and among providers. In areas where there is insufficient managed care capacity, State legislation also enables the State to purchase a prepaid benefit package from a commercial insurer.
Rates will be developed utilizing the existing Medicaid managed care rate setting process. Rates will be all inclusive and fully capitated, without carve-outs.
The State will monitor the quality of care provided by FHPlus plans using a system built upon the existing Partnership Plan Quality Monitoring Plan. Key components of the monitoring will include internal quality improvement systems within plans, external monitoring and data collection, on-site reviews, and consumer satisfaction surveys. Grievance and appeals processes will assure that both the plans and the State provide full access for participant's complaints, and protection of their rights.
Application and Enrollment Processes
The FHPlus legislation streamlines the eligibility and enrollment process. A simplified application form will be designed to screen and assess eligibility for Medicaid, CHPlus and FHPlus. The application and annual recertification processes will be integrated with traditional Medicaid eligibility reviews to assure that applicants are directed to the appropriate program. Care will be taken to assure that applicants who are eligible for traditional Medicaid will be enrolled in that program.
Effective transitions will be established between Medicaid, FHPlus and CHPlus, so that when changes in income, resources, or age occur, continuity of care is assured. For example, those enrolled in traditional Medicaid, but found ineligible during recertification based on income or resources, will be assessed for FHPlus. Young adults who become ineligible for CHPlus based on age will be assessed for Medicaid and FHPlus.
While local social services districts will continue to be able to accept applications for Medicaid and FHPlus, the program will also use enrollment facilitators to ease the application process. Our initial feedback concerning this approach in the CHPlus program, upon which the FHPlus program will build, has been very positive.
Enrollment facilitators will be sited at community locations and at convenient times for working families and individuals. It will be their responsibility to assist individuals in completing the combined and streamlined application for the various programs. These community based groups will be fully trained to screen applicants for eligibility under all programs, using a joint Medicaid/CHPlus/FHPlus application with standardized definitions and a simplified format.
The facilitators will also provide impartial and helpful information to assist in the selection of a participating plan and a primary care physician. Household members will be encouraged, but not required, to participate in the same plan as other FHPlus, CHPlus or Medicaid managed care family members. Because FHPlus is a voluntary, rather than mandatory program, no auto-assignment will be used.
The annual recertification process will also be eased by the use of a mail-in process, and availability of enrollment facilitators to provide assistance.
Outreach and Publicity
New York State will develop a comprehensive plan for FHPlus outreach that will complement and build upon the efforts currently in place for the CHPlus program. FHPlus will be marketed as a health insurance program for low-income individuals and families and will be targeted to reach potentially eligible populations.
In addition to statewide publicity, education and outreach activities, facilitators and plans will also be an important source of information about the availability of FHPlus. Protections are built into the FHPlus program to ensure that such activities are conducted appropriately.
Family Health Plus Administration
The Department of Health (DOH) will administer the FHPlus program. The DOH is the designated Title XIX single state agency, and is responsible for administration of the current Partnership Plan waiver as well as the CHPlus program. FHPlus administrative functions will be integrated with current Partnership Plan and CHPlus activities such as expansion of the enrollment facilitator activities, rate setting, quality assurance monitoring, patient survey, research and reporting. This approach will reinforce the goal of assuring continuity of care and effective management and oversight, while avoiding establishing new and duplicative administrative structures.
Purpose and Outcomes
This waiver amendment will allow New York State to continue to address the original Partnership Plan waiver objectives of quality assurance, access, improved health outcomes and cost effective service delivery. Other outcomes of the demonstration will include:
- Supporting the goals of welfare reform by assuring that employed individuals are able to continue working with adequate health insurance.
- Testing the effectiveness of a CHPlus-type service package for adults.
- Promoting health insurance as an item that is obtained for a family as a whole, rather than only individual members of a family.
- Assuring seamless transitions for individuals between and among the CHPlus, Medicaid, FHPlus and Healthy New York health insurance programs.
- Identifying and testing means to streamline obtaining and maintaining eligibility in publicly funded programs, transitioning New York State Medicaid from a perceived "welfare" support to a health insurance program.
- Assuring that individuals and families seeking health coverage are given the opportunity for a "full" Medicaid determination.
Research and Evaluation
The FHPlus demonstration will provide timely information for New York State and the Health Care Financing Administration to:
- Understand the size, nature and utilization patterns of an expansion population which is currently uninsured.
- Provide information on the effectiveness of a facilitated and simplified enrollment process.
- Measure the continuity of care and health outcomes for CHPlus "graduates."
- Determine whether the availability of insurance leads to a greater likelihood of retaining employment.
- Assess the improvements in prudent health service use through managed care.
- Determine the impact on existing employer insurance plans when publicly funded insurance coverage is introduced.
Waivers and Amendments Requested
New York State is requesting waivers of certain statutory and regulatory requirements necessary to implement FHPlus as defined in State legislation. While several waivers have already been approved under the original Partnership Plan, additions, modifications and amendments are required based on the nature of this new program. In summary, the major waivers being requested include:
- Eligibility standards and income and resource requirements, so that individuals with higher incomes than current Medicaid standards can enroll in the program and that we can modify the "disregard" process to ease the eligibility process.
- Amount, duration and scope of services, so that the comprehensive package of services can be provided, although the package is not equal to that provided under the traditional Medicaid program.
- Statewideness and freedom of choice, to reflect that the types and degree of selection of managed care plans may not be comparable statewide and that services will only be provided through a managed care insurance product.
Similarly, the budget neutrality formula, and the detailed terms and conditions under the Partnership Plan will require amendments and revisions. While many of the Terms and Conditions are applicable to FHPlus, others are not, such as those associated with auto-assignment, mandatory placement in managed care, requirements for special needs plans, phased in implementation and others.

1) The Labor Law Reform We Need 2) Responses to "Further Reflections on AFSCME Election" The Labor Law Reform We Need Rand Wilson July 11,20112 Labor Notes http://labornotes.org/2012/06/labor-law-reform-we-need When the next opportunity for labor law reform arrives, union membership will be smaller and our political clout even more diminished. If we are to succeed, future reform proposals must be wrapped in a broader mantle that will appeal to all workers. The four-year drive for the Employee Free Choice Act was the single largest union-backed campaign in decades and it succeeded in uniting the labor movement as never before. I doubt there was a steward in the country who wasn't familiar with EFCA and why we needed it. The proposed law, which so many members fought for between 2006 and 2010, would have made it faster and easier for workers to gain union recognition through card check, created stiffer penalties for employers who violate labor laws, and helped workers win difficult first contracts through binding arbitration. Many union leaders believed EFCA to be labor's last opportunity to address the obstacles to recruiting new members and a rebirth of the labor movement. While campaigning for EFCA was easy among union members, once we ventured beyond our ranks it was a much harder sell. With faith in democracy deeply ingrained in the national psyche, it was almost impossible to convince the general public that card check was as democratic as a secret ballot election. Every time the opposition yelled, "Union bosses want to take away your right to vote," we were put on the defensive and our allies floundered. So while EFCA appealed to union members and a small population of workers who imagined they might one day like to join a union, it appeared to the public as a narrow "special-interest" labor bill. The demise of EFCA closely resembled the fate of other reform bills backed by the labor movement: one against permanent striker replacement (1993); a bill for speedier elections, greater union access during organizing drives, and relief for illegally fired workers (1978); and repeal of Taft-Hartley (1966), where we could not stop a filibuster in the Senate. WINNING THOUGH SMALLER Past reforms led by the labor movement have won minimum wage, health and safety regulations, child labor laws, and prohibitions against discrimination. And whenever the labor movement was on the offensive fighting for all workers, union membership grew. What's left to achieve that might inspire all workers--union and non-union alike? "Employment security" could be the remaining frontier. A campaign to pass state laws requiring "just cause" before a worker is fired could also spur union growth, since one of the top reasons workers are afraid of organizing is the knowledge they are likely to be terminated. Our existing laws have not diminished workers' fears because the procedures are too uncertain and lengthy (two to three years at the Labor Board and another two years in the courts) to provide any assurance. Winning state "just cause" laws that allow cases to be decided quickly by arbitrators might give workers more confidence. As described in Clyde Summers's important 1976 Virginia Law Review article on the topic, the United States is alone among industrialized countries in allowing at-will employees to be terminated for arbitrary reasons. Because of union protests and aggressive legal action, Germany, France, Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and South Africa require employers to have a just cause to dismiss non-probationary employees. One state has also passed such a law. The Montana Wrongful Discharge from Employment Act was passed in 1987. Applicable to non-union non-probationary employees, it prohibits discharges without good cause, allows workers to sue for up to four years of back pay, and provides a way for workers to recover attorneys' fees. Despite fear-mongering by opponents, the Big Sky state's robust economic growth has not been affected. Statutes in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands also prohibit termination without "good cause." CHAMPIONING EVERYONE Winning "just cause" legislation will certainly not be easy. But building a movement on a similar scale to the effort put behind EFCA would offer union activists an opportunity to champion an issue that would benefit all workers and also help union growth. A "just cause" campaign could potentially engage working people at many levels. Short of state or federal legislation, local unions, central labor councils, and worker centers could seek to enforce a just cause standard through workers' rights boards and community pressure. Communities could declare certain areas "Just Cause Zones" and fight to enforce just cause as a community standard--like living wage laws, but potentially much wider. Political activists could use the proposed legislation as a litmus test for candidates. We could hold hearings on the need for just cause and lobby state legislatures. If just cause campaigns succeed, workers will have more security to participate in organizing drives. Montana's unionization rate reflects its mix of industries and history of militant struggles, but it's hard not to notice that the state, at 14.6 percent, has a healthier percentage of union members than the national average. Neighboring Idaho has less than half the rate of unionized workers. Even if campaigns for just cause do not succeed, they would be an opportunity to educate millions of not-yet-union workers about the concept (especially if the campaign used ballot referendums) and the increased job security it could bring to their lives. By popularizing the just cause concept and raising expectations, more workers may respond by thinking, "If we can't get this protection through the legislature, let's get it by forming a union!" Rand Wilson is organizing director for Service Employees Local 888 in Boston. 2) Responses to Further Reflections on AFSCME Election 1.From: Sal Luciano <[log in to unmask]> Subject: RE: Further Reflections on AFSCME's 40th Convention and Election of New Leadership - A Response to Our Critics Why the vitriol?

As to the authors, no one knows how those in Donohue's local vote.

Overall, I enjoyed your story; it was really tense and full of emotion.
I gave it a 4/5, however, because I felt there were a few too many grammatical errors. I don't know if any of these were pointed out, but I'll list a few that I saw. I'm not trying to troll or be obnoxious, I'm just trying to help. :)
There's an incomplete sentence. "As I sat on the school bus for the first time. ..." Try putting a comma in-between these two 'statements.'
I used to do this A LOT, but ... (more »)
The only comment I have is that you need more deatail to make it better and there are some grammer errors

What is a Quaife ATB differentialDue to variations in importing taxes, freight charges varying with qauntities and exchange rates, pricing cannot be finalised unless items are in stock or after being imported. The 'Automatic Torque Biasing' differential is Quaife's unique patented design, and is an after-market differential that provides smooth, constant traction for racing or slippery road conditions. Suitable as an ideal replacement for any front, rear or four wheel drive application, these ATB differentials have the added benefit of no adverse effect on the steering of a front wheel drive vehicle. Quaife ATB differentials have been used in a wide array of applications, from Formula 1 cars to emergency and public utility vehicles, where all weather mobility is essential, and where the product must perform in the most demanding of conditions. Available to suit a very wide range of vehicle applications, from Alfa Romeo to Volkswagen and including Ford, BMW, Honda, MG & Rover, Vauxhall/Opel, as well as a range of light commercial vehicles. The characteristics of the differential are that it progressively locks as torque increases; there are no plates or clutches to wear out, as the more conventional limited-slip designs incorporate. The ATB differential is particularly effective in combating the effects of FWD torque steer and understeer.

By Kate Gibson and Barbara Kollmeyer, MarketWatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stock-market futures tallied small gains on Friday, as investors paused after two bruising days on Wall Street and looked to a report later in the session on consumer sentiment.
"An eerie calm, after yesterday's dramatic swings, has settled over the capital markets," Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman, wrote in an emailed note.
Week ahead: FOMC minutes due
With forward guidance failing to have the desired impact in the U.S., the euro zone and the U.K., financial markets will be looking to the latest FOMC minutes and Chinese activity data to drive risk sentiment.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 6 points, or 0.1%, to 15,076, while those for the S&P 500 index added 2 points, or 0.1%, to 1,657.70.
Futures for the Nasdaq 100 index climbed 6.25 points, or 0.2%, to 3,077.25.
The Commerce Department reported housing starts climbed at an annual rate of 896,00, less than the 915,000 estimated.
"They were a bit weaker than expected, but I still think it's overall good news, as they approached 900,000. I was disappointed about single-family starts, which actually declined, and it is a bit surprising. Based on recent permit data, I was hoping to see more of an uptick on the single-family side," said Elizabeth Ptacek, a senior credit real-estate analyst at KeyBank.
But Ptacek believes that difficulty in getting financing is more of an issue for housing than higher interest rates: "Credit remains very tight. It's easing, but not quickly enough for first-time home buyers."
The Labor Department reported productivity rose at a slightly better-than-estimated 0.9% annual rate in the second quarter.
At 9:55 a.m., the University of Michigan/Thomson preliminary consumer-sentiment index for August is expected to remain at an 85.1 reading.
The 10-year Treasury yield /quotes/zigman/4868283/delayed 10_YEAR 0.00% was lately holding steady at 2.773%.
Gold prices rose $6.10, or 0.5%, at $1,367, extending a two-day rally in which it gained $40.40, or 3.1%. Up for six of its last five sessions, the metal is up almost 4% for the month and down 19% for the year. Oil prices fell and the dollar edged down against the currencies of major U.S. trading partners.
Applied Materials Inc. /quotes/zigman/19895/delayed/quotes/nls/amat AMAT +1.84% shares fell 0.7% in premarket trade after the supplier of chip-making equipment reported quarterly revenue just short of estimates.
Nordstrom Inc. /quotes/zigman/235890/delayed/quotes/nls/jwn JWN +1.58% shares fell 3% a day after the high-end retailer reported lower-than-expected sales and cut its full-year forecast.
Aspen Technology Inc. /quotes/zigman/57708/delayed/quotes/nls/azpn AZPN +1.65% shares jumped 14% after the maker of software for process manufacturing posted higher-than-expected sales and earnings for the fiscal fourth quarter.
PC maker Dell Inc. posted adjusted earnings of 25 cents per share — a penny higher than analysts had predicted.
Upbeat jobless-claims data in the U.S. on Thursday helped cement the view that tapering of the Federal Reserve's bond-buying program will happen in September. U.S. stocks sank for a second day, driven by tapering fears, downbeat corporate news and a spike in Treasury yields to 2011 highs.
"The likelihood of a change in Fed policy has exposed the underlying earnings slowdown that has been ignored all year due to the [quantitative-easing]-beer goggles that market participants have been wearing up until recently," wrote Peter Boockvar, chief market strategist at the Lindsay Group LLC, in emailed commentary.
On Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA +0.26% dropped 225.47 points, or 1.5%, to end at 15,112.19, while the S&P 500 index /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX +0.48% lost 24.07 points, or 1.4%, to 1,661.32.

will 4G really be that popular? - especially now that internet is being given away by rivalfree.com.au? would be interesting to know exactly how much this will cost everyone..
With 4G competition heating up around Australia, telcos are keen to stamp their mark on the technology.
So far, Telstra and Optus have opened up their 4G network to consumers, with Vodafone due to launch its 4G offering in early 2013. Other telcos and ISPs have also announced they will resell 4G access on Optus' network, including Virgin Mobile, Amaysim and Boost Mobile.
ISPs Exetel and iiNet will also offer 4G services to customers.
However, rolling out a 4G network is far from simple. According to Mark Gregory, senior lecturer at RMIT University, telcos typically subcontract 4G installation procedures to a company which interacts with their equipment supplier.
However, telcos remain an integral part of the design of the 4G upgrades to mobile base stations and cell design, such as where cells will be located, the number of cells and whether new base stations will needed to be built.
"Wherever possible they will try and reuse base stations," Gregory says.
"There are two steps involved in the process where you're using the existing infrastructure like the towers. They might be removing a former system, so they would first of all have to decommission that [and] take any antennas or cables and systems in the wiring cabinet away. They would then fit the new antenna cables and systems in the wiring cabinet."
Upgrades also need to be made to regional management centres, according to Gregory, which manage and interoperate with mobile phone systems. This could mean new systems are required, such as security, management, operations and authentication.
Gregory estimates it would typically take one day per base station to install new systems on an existing mobile base station to fit equipment and test it. Where antennas need to be replaced, this would slow the process, according to Gregory.
Gregory says higher spectrum frequencies can be affected by issues such as high-rise buildings, which is why telcos prefer to operate around the 1800MHz or 700Mhz spectrum.
"If you're up into the 2100MHz or higher frequencies, which some of them still are with their systems, you're going to be affected by things like buildings and you're not going to get the same outcomes if you were previously on 1800MHz," Gregory says.
Report: 4G LTE networks to be limited by spectrum availability
"There's frequency reshuffling going on because they're going to want to use as much of the 1800MHz band as possible for the 4G until they can get their hands on the 700MHz."
Optus, Telstra and Vodafone have all taken different approaches when it comes to 4G frequencies.
"Telstra has access to more bands – more frequency bands – than others like Optus, so Optus is really desperate to get its hands on 700MHz because it's really giving Telstra a free run," Gregory says.
With the 700MHz spectrum not expected to be operational until 2015, following the Digital Dividend auction in April next year, some telcos are shifting network frequencies, according to Gregory.
"[That] means that Telstra's going to have a three-year window of opportunity to be able to say 'look, we can provide 4G all around Australia'", Gregory says. Optus' 4G coverage is currently confined to around 10-15km from the Melbourne, Perth and Sydney CBDs, as well as coverage in the greater Newcastle area and Hunter regions. Optus customers in Adelaide and Brisbane will also have to wait until next year to access 4G services with the telco.
Over the long-term, spectrum will play a critical role in the roll out of 4G by telcos, Gregory says, and could also have an impact on non-4G users.
"That's part of where this effect is going to be. You're going to get detrimental effect in terms of old systems being turned off, frequencies being shuffled and older systems being shuffled onto less advantageous frequencies."
However, this can result in service degradation on some older mobile phones which cannot access some frequencies, Gregory says, with one telco issuing letters to customers on older phones recommending they update their handset in order to access changed spectrum frequencies.

will 4G really be that popular? - especially now that internet is being given away by rivalfree.com.au? would be interesting to know exactly how much this will cost everyone..
Ummmm Vodafone has more 1800MHZ frequency than Telstra and Optus have far more 2300MHZ frequency than well anyone else.
Quite a few errors in this article
Vodafone will have the best metro 4G in Australia, due to the higher amount of spectrum in the 1800MHz band, however, when the 2300MHz and 2600MHz bands become available, there will be a lot of competition.
Optus has almost 100mhz of unpaired 2300 spectrum which it acquired when it purcahsed Vivid wireless. Once it launches LTE TDD network in 2300 it will have oodles of capacity. The main problem will be handset support....

Jay McD said:I personally didn't want Martinez as he hasn't impressed me or stood out as a manager and for those reasons do not believe he should be the everton manager, he also got his team relegated and then left them. His buying and selling of players at Wigan was a contributing factor. In my opinion he's just a nice guy yet I too hope I'm wrong for the sake of the club.
I wanted laudrup as I am impressed with what he has done and was a big fan of him as a player, with all the poor managers we were linked with he was easily the best. I would of even gambled on the Porto manager such is my opinion on Martinez.
I thought we signed wigans stand out player in Kone, I don't think McCarthy is a bad player just no where near the level of Fellaini nor the presence, so that disapointed me too, along with the fact of signing another Wigan player in Alcaraz who will unlikely play.
Before we got Lukaku I thought we would of finished around 9th now I hope for top 7.
All in all so far I don't think Martinez has stamped any sort of personal mark on everton and feel the Fellaini and anichabe money has been flittered away patching up our team for this season only, no long term improvements and no thought to the future.
Not mega bothered about the badge
koolhandluke8 said:I think " Martinez got Wigan relegated" is somewhat of a moot point...
I know we spoke to the bmouth manager ....he's in division 2 ! Would we have accepted him or another like him over Martinez ? As an "up and coming manager"

If he can add goals to his passing game....stop leaking goals...... he's cracked it...
We're always going to concede against the better teams....but not scoring against the wba's and cardiffs of this world isn't good enough...concedin 2 against the norwichs of this world doesn't help his cause either...
Jury's out still for me...
azzo said:Yes but let's say for instance that Bill Kenwright came onto this forum and read your threads and then called you in for a meeting to discuss your concerns what exactly would you say?
If the club was ran by people like yourself nothing would get done.
A good topic and excellent thread - many good points made - Bipolar to my goodself - This thread could have been posted by Mr Luvvie Kentalkaloadofshite or Mad Marty themselves.
You may have gathered Im a glass half empty sort of guy - I know that's not good but my view is if you prepare your self for the worse you have more chance of getting out of a mess - maybe a relegation battle.
Martinez is a rose tinted glass overflowing sort of guy - Who got relegated. A very nice guy - show me a nice guy whos a winner -
FA cup I hear you scream at me - whats that 6 matches and the luck of the draw - Bournemouth replay - Macclesfield - Huddesfield - Everton - Milwall - then one off Man city 1 0 - we seen off Man U remember.
On the subject of relegation a chap called Klopp got relegated - Now one of the top mangers in the world.
3 games is not a lot of time - but there is something not quite right - but as you rightly point out who else was there - Klopp? -
As I say Great thread - - But don't ever try to defend that feckin pathetic badge - Even if its a cheap copy of Barcelona
Hat off to Azzo - Ill have to put my thinking cap on to respond -
azzo said:I see a lot of negativity on this forum mainly by allseeingeye but I put the following questions to you and one word answers are not acceptable.
- Why do you feel Martinez is a bad choice of manager?
- Who realistically would you have liked as manager and why?
- Why is James McCarthy not Everton material?
- What is wrong with the new badge and what would you like instead?
- Where do you feel we will finish this season and why?
I suspect the answers will predominantly revolve around Wigan being relegated, so please explain fully as this isn't a valid reason for all the negativity.
Beano said:...This season, there is an element of the team being out there to prove it was never all about Moyes and there is a determination to show what they can do without him... This season - 7th or 8th

From the September 21, 1962 issue of Commonweal, a followup to the announcement by the archbishop of New Orleans that all the parochial schools of the archdiocese would be desegregated for the 1962-1963 academic year.
When Archbishop Joseph F. Rummel announced last spring that segregation of parochial schools in New Orleans would end with the opening of school this fall, he laid to rest some lingering doubts about the effective meaning of the Church's condemnation of segregation. He certainly knew, as did his coadjutor, Archbishop John P. Cody, that trouble could be expected.
Now, with more than a week of desegregation behind them, the Catholics of New Orleans have good, reason to take pride in their response to the Archbishop's decision. To be sure, there were many instances of white parents' boycotting the integrated parochial schools. And there were as well some nasty scenes of white and Negro parents' being jeered and harassed. Yet, by and large, the opening week went off very well indeed. The only real trouble came in some of the outlying areas of the Archdiocese. In Buras, deep in the heart of Leander Perez' domain, Our Lady of Good Harbor School lost all of its white pupils through parental boycott. As for the five Negro children who entered the school on the opening day, they did not return on the next. Continue reading

I thought there might be some people from Poland in this forum and so i have an question to ask.One of my relative is relocating to Poland from India.I just wanted to know for resident visa in Poland is birth certificate a mandatory document because in India 10th mark sheet and passport are considered to be valid for verifying for place of birth and date.The issue he is facing is the name on birth certificate is not appeared correctly and date of birth is also not correct .So is it fine if he shows Indian 10th mark sheet for applying resident visa in Poland.He has already received work permit for Poland.
I will be in Warsaw from 5th to 8th of december, cause I will have only the nights to visit and enjoy the city, Could you give me recommendations for dinner and local disco bar.

Mobile home left in street
By JAMIE PATTERSON
Managing Editor
A Yazoo City man said a mobile home was abandoned in the middle of his street last year, and he is ready to get it out of there.
Cedric Gainwell appeared before the Board of Mayor and Aldermen this week with photographs of a unoccupied mobile home that was left parked on Bennett Street last June.
Gainwell said he has contacted several officials but has seen no results.

vintage glass + 4,5, or 6K cameras = a look that many people are liking.
vintage glass + 4,5, or 6K cameras = a look that many people are liking.
It's not necessarily true. I recently did several episodes of a major dramatized cable show in two days, and I'm guessing I did at least 100, maybe 120 defocused close-ups in the entire show (out of 1400 shots). Many with tracking power windows. The key is: the hair is sharp, the eyes are sharp, the clothing is sharp... but the skin in their faces is slightly soft. We keep it as a preset, pop that in as an extra node, problem solved. Literally 1 minute per shot, plus maybe another :30 seconds to finesse the tracking window.
We agree, but if only the skintone is soft, you won't notice it if it's done in a way to glamorize and beautify the actor. There is a point where "too much is too far." A brilliant mixer I know does the same thing in audio: "taste +1." Back off a little bit from going too far, and that's usually the right place to go. I'd call it the selective equivalent of a 1/4 Promist -- maybe a 1/2 if the client insists.I don't think lowering the resolution of the cameras is the right idea. However, let's all admit that for some types of close-ups, we need to soften the image and therefore are also lowering the resolution.
We can't color-correct worth a damn if the material isn't shot well to begin with. Good colorists are always in service to the work of the DP. We can make good work better, but we can't make crap work great. Given sufficient time -- and 16 hours is reasonable for an average 43-minute network dramatic show -- we can easily make the show better, smooth over the rough spots, make everything consistent, tell the story, preserve the DP's looks, and keep the show on budget.
BTW, I'm consistently floored at how good Smash looks, particularly in how good you're making Angelica Houston look. And I laugh every time at how well you guys keep the camera reflections out of the mirrors in the rehearsal hall. Damn near amazing. I've had to wind back on the DVR to check, and each time, I say, "damn! David got away with it again!" You're a bloody miracle worker.
Thanks! Most medium shots I use a #1/4 Hollywood Black Magic, on other scenes it may be a #1/4 Classic Soft Black... but for some tighter shots, I either use the #1/2 version of those filters or a black net I made from a fine black tule or veil material I found at a fabric store. My colorist is great too, Sam Daley at Technicolor.
David Watkin was right when he said that it was all about lighting more than diffusion, though, any light that comes from an angle creates a shadow on a face, and a diffusion filter just makes that shadow fuzzy, it doesn't get rid of it.
Now that I'm back in L.A. I've had to supervise the grade over some sort of data connection between Technicolor LA and Technicolor NYC, that's been interesting because now I'm looking at a large Plasma TV rather than the DLP projector in a D.I. theater, and the two devices are not exactly the same. Noise, for one thing, is more heightened on the Plasma display.
Yes, the wall of mirrors! I have to constantly remind directors lining up shots to take them into account, and every time we end up at one end of the room, the mirrors reflect the off-camera corner at the opposite end, so any equipment, video village, etc. all has to move, many simple shots still end up seeing 90% of the whole room due to the mirrors, leaving a small area to hide in. And I wish more often I could light through the daylight windows with some big soft sources but the mirrors on the opposite wall see the same windows, so it's like lighting for a 360 degree move many times. Luckily the mirror panels can be crooked a little, creating a few dead spots in the reflections to hide things in, but as soon as the camera moves, what's hidden can be revealed again.
David Mullen!!!
I started this thread for the quality and integrity of information that you have been so generous and thoughful to share.
To the rest who have read and will benefit from this discourse, enjoy!
FWIW going back to the Dark Night I thought that Maggie Gyllenhaal was lit LESS attractively in that film then just about anyone I've ever seen her in. Personally, I feel like Pfister didn't do her any favors.
I dunno. One can make a wild guess on the total "K" of 15-perf Imax 70mm, and I don't think the human subjects in The Dark Knight looked bad at all. High-res alone doesn't make people look bad; bad lighting and bad makeup do. Diffusion (lens, lighting, and in post) can always help.
To me, the key is just to control the sharpness. Knock it back when you need to, take advantage of it when you need to emphasize it. Resolution is just another part of the Swiss army knife of tools available to the DP.

I'm a high-school athlete. With our intense practice schedule, I'm always tired and worn out on game days. Is there something I can eat pregame that will keep me energized without slowing me down? - Nihal*
Your overall diet may be slowing you down on game day. During intense training, it's quite possible that you're not eating enough calories to compensate for the ones you're burning. One sign that you're not getting adequate calories is weight loss.
During training, as always, it's essential to eat a balanced diet and not skip meals to ensure you're getting adequate nutrients and maintaining energy levels, and to avoid fatigue.
An excellent pregame meal or snack will have lots of carbs, some protein, and very little, if any, fat and fiber. Fat and fiber are important elements of a balanced diet, but may lead to bloating and stomach cramps during exercise. Try a sandwich with lean deli turkey plus a piece of your favorite fruit. The carbs will give you immediate energy and the protein will give you some energy later in the game.
No matter which pregame snack you go with, remember to hydrate before, during, and after your game for peak performance.
Of course, being tired on game day can be a sign of not getting enough sleep. Most teens need at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep each night.
