Many businesses have characteristics that are similar to any stock market in the world; there are ups and downs. When you experience a downturn, the culprit may be a slow drip of revenue, which means a slow drip of closed business from very few leads. Your goal, then, is to get in front of more leads, convert leads to clients and create systems around making this your business habit. Here's how you do it:
Not enough leads – This is an issue with visibility. Quite frankly, not enough people know about what you offer and your ideal prospects don't see you as a solution to the challenges they are facing. This problem is solved by increasing and improving your marketing efforts. This means you need to be showing up where your prospective clients are gathering (online and offline) and engaging them in conversation to understand what they need.

Myotonic Dystrophy
Myotonic dystrophy is an inherited disorder that affects muscle tone, and hair loss and can involve varying degrees of impaired cognitive abilities. It is inherited as a dominant disorder, which means that individuals that carry the defective gene have the disease. The amount of symptoms exhibited in persons with myotonic dystrophy varies.
Physical limitations resulting from myotonic dystrophy can be significant, involving muscle weakness and difficulty lifting items and performing certain routine daily tasks. There are many cases in which affected persons experience mental delays, and this usually correlates with the extent of the genetic defect. Myotonic dystrophy is a progressive disorder in terms of muscle weakness and muscle wasting.
Myotonic dystrophy is relatively rare, occurring approximately once in 8,000 people. There is also a more rare, severe congenital form that occurs with an incidence of about 1 in 100,000.
Causes and symptoms
Myotonic dystrophy involves many different tissues within the body, including the eye, the heart, the endocrine system, and the central nervous system. The clinical manifestations in myotonic dystrophy span from mild to severe, leading to three separate categories with somewhat overlapping characteristics: mild, classical, and congenital (in which the clinical manifestations are evident at birth).
Mild myotonic dystrophy
In the mild form, persons usually develop cataracts and experience mild muscle tone dysfunction (myotonia). They normally do not experience clinical manifestations
Classical myotonic dystrophy
In the classical form, patients can have generalized weakness, myotonia that is more severe than the mild form, cataracts, balding, and heart rhythm disturbances. The age of onset can be from 10 years until they are 30 years old.
Congenital myotonic dystrophy
Symptoms in the congenital form of myotonic dystrophy are evident at birth. Affected infants show muscle weakness, respiratory defects, and eventually, mental retardation. There are cases that appear after birth but before 10 years of age, although the symptoms might be slight and remain unnoticed. Congenital myotonic dystrophy is almost always inherited from the mother; however, inheritance from the father has occurred. Mental retardation is thought to be associated with early respiratory failure and the effects of the mutated gene on the brain.

Jeffrey Meyer began teaching at Quinnipiac Law School in 2006, following many years of legal practice experience. He teaches courses including legal ethics, criminal procedure, international law and environmental law. He serves as faculty adviser to the Environmental Law Society and to the International Human Rights Society and its law and service project in Central America. He is also a Visiting Professor of Law at Yale Law School where he co-teaches the Yale Supreme Court Advocacy Clinic.
Educational Background
Jeffrey Meyer graduated summa cum laude from Yale College in 1985 and then from Yale Law School in 1989. Between college and law school, he was a Fulbright Scholar in Ecuador where he studied rural development economics and access to credit for campesino farmers in the Andean highlands of central Ecuador.
Work Experience
After law school, Jeffrey Meyer served as a law clerk to Chief Judge James L. Oakes of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and to Associate Justice Harry A. Blackmun at the U.S. Supreme Court. He then worked as a staff attorney with Vermont Legal Aid where he represented defendants in mental health civil commitment proceedings. He moved to Washington, D.C., to work in complex civil litigation at Shearman & Sterling and then at Kellogg, Huber, Hansen, Todd, Evans & Figel. From 1995 to 2004, Meyer was a federal criminal prosecutor with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Connecticut. He specialized in the investigation and trial of financial, environmental, and civil-rights crimes. From 2000 to 2004, he supervised the U.S. Attorney's Office's appellate practice before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York. In mid-2004, Meyer accepted a position in New York as Senior Counsel to the Independent Inquiry Committee into the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program (led by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker). This was one of the world's largest corruption investigations involving $1.8 billion of kickbacks paid by thousands of companies worldwide to the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein. Meyer supervised aspects of the investigation involving the UN Security Council and companies that received contracts under the Oil-for-Food Program to furnish humanitarian goods. Meyer was also principal staff editor of the Committee's numerous official reports. In 2007, Meyer served as Editor and Counselor to an independent panel led by Paul Volcker to review the World Bank Group's Department of Institutional Integrity, with a focus on the protective measures used by the World Bank to investigate and prevent corruption in its lending programs. In Connecticut, Meyer has served as co-chair of the Independent Accountability Panel appointed by the Mayor of New Haven to advise the city concerning police reform.

The ESP-LXME and the ESP-LXD from Rain Bird are efficient controller solutions that combine modularity with advanced water management and Rain Bird's Extra Simple Programming.
ESP-LXD Two-wire Decoder Control System
Product From Rain Bird Sales Inc. -
The ESP-LXD controller maintains the look, feel and simple programming made popular by Rain Bird's highly regarded ESP-LX Modular Controller. However, instead of being connected to the system's valves through multi-wire bundles, the ESP-LXD interfaces to a two-wire path for decoder-based irrigation.
- Product From Rain Bird Sales Inc.
Featuring a square spray pattern with a throw radius of 2.5' or 4', the SQ Series is designed specifically for watering small, narrow areas of turf and ornamental plantings like those found near walkways, parkways and street medians. Because these unique, low-volume nozzles offer pressure compensation, they use less water and eliminate inefficient overspray, saving time, money and water for both new and existing installations.
Landscape Irrigation and Maintenance Remote (LIMR)
Product From Rain Bird Sales Inc. -
Rain Bird's Landscape Irrigation and Maintenance Remote (LIMR) gives contractors the ability to activate their customers' irrigation controller devices without having to physically access their controllers. The LIMR consists of two primary components—a receiver and a handheld transmitter with an LCD screen and key pad.
Maxicom2 Central Control System
Product From Rain Bird Sales Inc. -
Rain Bird's Maxicom² central control system has become well known for its ability to control literally hundreds of irrigation sites from the convenience of one central computer. Rain Bird has made Maxicom² even better by releasing new software with updated features and enhancements that will make the central control system even more efficient and user-friendly.
- Product From Rain Bird Sales Inc.
Rain Bird's XF-SDI Series Dripline with Copper Shield Technology, offers up to 90% watering efficiency for turf grass, shrubs and groundcover. Because the dripline is buried underground, it is unaffected by wind, evaporation or vandalism, effectively watering plants and turf while using 30-70% less water than overhead sprays. With its durability and efficiency, XF-SDI Series Dripline provides a much-needed option for the growing number of communities that have passed legislation limiting the use of overhead sprays for irrigation near buildings and hardscapes.
WR2 Wireless Rain and Rain/Freeze Sensors
Product From Rain Bird Sales Inc. -
After installation and programming, the WR2 Wireless Rain and Rain/Freeze Sensor from Rain Bird automatically senses and measures both rain and cold temperatures to prevent unnecessary irrigation, saving water and reducing wear on irrigation system components.

APPLETON, Wis. (AP) -- A Fox Valley woman has been sentenced to a year in jail for a fatal bike crash.
Prosecutors say PaKou Xiong struck Jim Weiss from behind as he rode his bike in Kimberly in July of last year. Authorities believe Xiong was texting at the time of the crash.
A judge in Outagamie County on Tuesday also sentenced Xiong to serve five years of probation and do 100 hours of community service each of those years while wearing jail orange and a pin memorializing Weiss.
WLUK-TV reports an accident reconstruction showed there were no signs Xiong attempted to brake before hitting Weiss.
UPDATE: 4/16 at 10:46 a.m.
APPLETON, Wis. (AP) -- A Fox Valley teenager has pleaded not guilty in a fatal crash that police say occurred because she was texting while driving.
Nineteen-year-old PaKou Xiong is charged in Outagamie County with homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle. Investigators reviewed Xiong's cell phone records and say they found an exchange of text messages in the moments leading up to the crash that killed James Weiss. He was biking in Kimberly when he was struck July 28.
The Post-Crescent says a trial is scheduled July 9. A conviction carries a maximum 10 years in prison and $25,000 in fines.
ORIGINAL STORY: 1/21 at 2:01 p.m.
Charges have now filed against 19-year-old Outagamie County woman accused of texting while driving and causing a crash that fatally injured a man.
According to WLUK-TV, James Weiss, 46, was riding his bike shortly after midnight on July 28, 2012 in Little Chute, when investigators say he was struck from behind by PaKou Xiong. Prosecutors say there were no tire marks indicating Xiong's vehicle had attempted to stop. Weiss was taken to a Neenah hospital. He died on August 4th .
Weiss' bicycle did have lights and reflectors on it.
Xiong remains behind bars in the Outagamie County Jail. She's expected to be charged with homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle.

Even for hoops addicts, watching NBA preseason games presents a challenge.
The baseball playoffs are under way, the college football and NFL seasons are in full swing, and there is this small matter of a presidential election.
There is no subscription package for the preseason. League Pass takes a pass until the regular season starts later this month. So the only way you can watch games right now is on NBA TV, which isn't part of the basic package of a number of cable systems, or on your team's cable network, if it decides to televise the game.
And if you are fortunate enough to find a preseason game on TV, it looks like the NBA on 'shrooms. The games are in hoops hotbeds such as Winnipeg, Fresno and North Charleston. Superstars are in suits, scrubs are starting, substitutions are seat of the pants and players are drawing up last-second plays, as Tony Parker did for French compatriot Nando de Colo on Wednesday.
But that isn't all that's going on. If you look closely, players, coaches and teams are tipping their hands just a little bit. Because it's the preseason, it may be nothing. Then again, it may be something.
Here's some of what's been going on.
1. Those projected 70 wins for the Lakers may be a stretch

ACPI for ARM?
LWN.net Weekly Edition for November 21, 2013
No devices on the market yet but ARM Holdings just finished its design late last year and is now working with fabs (TSMC, GlobalFoundaries, etc) on its production. Expect first devices to be servers from the likes of Calxeda in 2014. Consumer devices should show up sometime in 2015.
It's actually an extremely interesting design and much more of a clean break than AMD64 is compared to x86/IA32. In a way I think it's the last of the original RISC architectures to have gone 64-bit, but perhaps the only one that might be available in a few years time (I'm really not sure how much longer POWER and Sparc are gonna be around...)
Haley: We're doing an ARM64 OpenJDK port!

That's a bit worrying. I hope it doesn't end up as a second Itanium.

64-bit ARM is by comparison the most boring architecture you can imagine, it takes the 32 bit design, and replaces most of the oddities of that architecture with more common ideas from other RISC designs. Nothing to see here really, and that's how we like it!
Posted Oct 26, 2012 9:55 UTC (Fri) by nhippi (subscriber, #34640) [Link]
1) During Itanium time, people still had lots of binary-only proprietary server applications, thus binary compatibility was much more needed. These days most server apps are in some kind of interpreted languages (java, php, python, ...). Also, many people will porting to Arm64 from mips, ppc, x86, etc, so break between a32 and a64 is not relevant to them.
2) While lack of proper backward compatibility was one reason of Itaniums demise, the other was just pure business failure. Itanium was just too expensive, Opteron and Xeon offered much better bang for buck. The whole idea was "Let's make people replace expensive UNIX RISC servers with expensive Itanium servers running UNIX". Customers were more like "Umm no thanks, let's rather replace them with cheap x86_64 servers running Linux". A lot will depend on what bang/buck and bang/watt a64 offers compared to competitors.
Posted Oct 26, 2012 23:21 UTC (Fri) by aryonoco (guest, #55563) [Link]
1) Though AArch64/ARM64 is not backwards compatible with AArch32, the chips that will be produced will themselves be running ARMv8, which does support running both Aarch32 and AArch64 code (without emulation or anything like that). They will run both codes just fine next to each other. This PDF from ARM is a good overview of ARMv8 http://goo.gl/2u8X2
2) Since people seem to be interested in ARM64 and what path its designers have taken, I highly recommend having a look at http://www.realworldtech.com/arm64/ The conclusion says: "Like x86, ARMv7 had a fair bit of cruft, and the architects took care to remove many of the byzantine aspects of the instruction set that were difficult to implement. The peculiar interrupt modes and banked registers are mostly gone. Predication and implicit shift operations have been dramatically curtailed. The load/store multiple instructions have also been eliminated, replaced with load/store pair. Collectively, these changes make AArch64 potentially more efficient than ARMv7 and easier to implement in modern process technology. "
3) As for Itanium, let's not forget that Itanium is a $4 billion business that's also highly profitable. Sure $4 billion might be peanuts for Intel and it certainly didn't live to the (very) high expectations that the industry had of it in late 90s, but many businesses would be perfectly happy with a $4 billion, profitable "side business".

A lot will depend on what bang/buck and bang/watt a64 offers compared to competitors.
I am thinking about a service like Amazon EC2 which needs to have a reservoir of idle machines to handle traffic spikes (to be really elastic) and will have to eat up their energy costs while idle. Energy costs are nowadays the highest cost of running a server. Given that reserved instances may be half the price of on-demand instances, and that spot instances may be something like 5 times cheaper, I suppose that Amazon would be grateful to reduce costs. I can't wait to rent an AMD64 instance actually!

The ARMv7 family has the A5, A7, A8, A9, and A15. Let's hope it does not get near A32, else things will get even more confusing.
Posted Oct 31, 2012 2:02 UTC (Wed) by wookey (subscriber, #5501) [Link]
If you really care there is a doc somewhere carefully distinguishing the names of the architecture, 64-bit instruction set, 32-bit instruction set, etc. But I reckon most people without marketing droids standing behind them will just call it arm64 (or armv8).
I've been having fun with bootstrapping: http://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port
You can install a quantal amd64 chroot with cross toolchain and start building stuff.
Linaro have OE image builds that can be run on ARM's free-beer 'Fast' Model (which is not at all fast) http://www.linaro.org/engineering/armv8

We don't have an e-mount adapter for the table we use for full-on lens tests, but when Tamron's all-in-one zoom came through our offices, we certainly thought it deserved some attention. I attached it to the NEX-C3 and brought it with me for a short trip to Berlin, Germany. It was the only camera I brought with me, as I wanted to use this lens the way someone who bought it likely would. Here are some sample images shot with it, along with some impressions.
The images are presented without any editing unless it's noted. I tried to keep editing to an absolute minimum, though, so you can see what the images look like right out of the camera. They were all shot in JPEG Fine.
A protester waves a flag from the back of a vanbeing used to house a loudspeaker. This was shot very near the widest end of the lens, which required me to get very close to the subject. You can see a bit of chromatic aberration in the high-contrast area between the flag and the sky, but it's not bad. The subject is nice and sharp despite shooting from the hip.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police have located three missing executives from a car dealership where 81 new vehicles worth roughly $2.5 million vanished, and at least one of the three has been arrested.
Scottsbluff Police Capt. Kevin Spencer told KNEB radio that Legacy Auto Sales controller Rachel Fait, 37, had been arrested in Tooele County, Utah.
Spencer says the dealership's owner, Allen Patch, 52, had been contacted through his lawyer in Utah. The dealership's general manager, Rick Covello, 53, called police Wednesday afternoon from out of state and arranged to turn himself in.
All three previously lived in Utah.
Spencer did not respond to a message from The Associated Press left early Thursday morning.
About two dozen vehicles missing from the Scottsbluff dealership were traced to Salt Lake City, and at least 16 of those had been sold at an auto auction. Six others were found at the Scottsbluff airport, and the FBI found some of the other vehicles in Las Vegas.
The missing vehicles were all Fords and Toyotas. The Fords were put on transporter trucks and taken away Saturday and the Toyotas were shipped out late Monday, John Childress, Scotts Bluff County's chief deputy county attorney, said Wednesday.
Miranda Cervantes, the dealership's title manager, told the Scottsbluff Star-Herald she returned to work Tuesday after a day off and found the lot was virtually empty. She said the desks of Patch, Fait and Covello had been cleaned out.
Cervantes has not responded to calls seeking additional comment.
Legacy Auto Sales remained open Thursday despite the missing cars and executives.
Justin Leach, a spokesman for Toyota Financing in Torrance, Calif., said Patch financed the Toyotas and Fords through his company.
Leach said there are some provisions that would allow a dealer to move vehicles, but when the dealer and the cars go missing there's reason to be concerned.
Legacy has had financial problems, Childress said, and authorities suspect Patch and his associates were looking to sell the vehicles to auction houses and keep the proceeds rather than pay Toyota Financing. He said the three have no criminal records in Nebraska.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the crude extract of the twigs of Dorstenia barteri (DBT) as well as that of four of the five flavonoids isolated from this extract. Gram-positive bacteria (six species), Gram-negative bacteria (12 species) and fungi (four species) were used. The agar disc diffusion test was used to determine the sensitivity of the tested samples while the well micro-dilution was used to determine the minimal inhibition concentrations (MIC) and the minimal microbicidal concentration (MMC) of the active samples. The results of the disc diffusion assay showed that DBT, isobavachalcone (1), and kanzonol C (4) prevented the growth of all the 22 tested microbial species. Other compounds showed selective activity. The inhibitory activity of the most active compounds namely compounds 1 and 4 was noted on 86.4% of the tested microorganisms and that of 4-hydroxylonchocarpin (3) was observed on 72.7%. This lowest MIC value of 19.06 g/ml was observed with the crude extract on seven microorganisms namely Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter aerogens, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus stearothermophilus and Candida albicans. For the tested compounds, the lowest MIC value of 0.3 g/ml (on six of the 22 organisms tested) was obtained only with compound 1, which appeared as the most active compound. This lowest MIC value (0.3 g/ml) is about 4-fold lower than that of the RA, indicating the powerful and very interesting antimicrobial potential of isobavachalcone (1). The antimicrobial activities of DBT, as well as that of compounds 1, 3, 4, amentoflavone (5) are being reported for the first time. The overall results provide promising baseline information for the potential use of the crude extracts from DBT as well as some of the isolated compounds in the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections.

Abstract: The crude methanolic extracts from Treculia africana and Treculia acuminata, three compounds isolated from T. africana and identified as, Phyllocoumarin (1), Catechin (2) and 6, 9-dihydroxy-megastigmane-3-one (3), four compounds namely 2, 3, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl-heptadecanoate (4), and Ferulic acid (5) isolated from T. acuminata were tested for their antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (six species), Gramnegative bacteria (12 species) and three Candida species. The micro-dilution method for the determination of the minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) and the Minimal microbicidal concentration (MMC) was used. The MIC values obtained with the crude extracts varied from 78 to 156 à ¼g/ ml against 12 (57.14%) and 20 (95.24%) of the 21 tested microorganisms respectively for T. acuminata and T. africana. Apart from compound 2 that prevented the growth of all the tested microorganisms, other bioactive compounds showed selective activity. The obtained results provide promising baseline information for the potential use of these crude extracts as well as some of the isolated compounds in the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections.

Abstract: The present studywas undertaken to investigate the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of the leaf and twig extracts of Dorstenia barteri (Moraceae) in mice. Both the leaf and twig extracts of Dorstenia barteri at 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg showed significant (P < 0.05-0.01) antinociceptive activities in chemical-, mechanical- and thermal-induced pain test models. Intraperitoneal administration of the plant extracts at 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg significantly (P < 0.05-0.01) inhibited carrageenin-induced acute inflammation in oedema paw weight, pulmonary oedema and number of pleural leucocytes in a dose-dependent way. The twig extract was found to be more active than the leaf extract in all the experimental models used. The inhibitory effects of the plant extracts were comparable to those of the reference drugs acetylsalicyclic acid (ASA) and phenylbutazone (PBZ) at 100 mg/kg i.p. The significant reduction in acetic acid-induced abdominal contractions, the decrease in oedema paw weight as well as in the number of leucocytes in the pleural cavity exudates, and the significant increase in the reaction time and pain threshold of mice observed in this study suggest that Dorstenia barteri extracts possess both anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities. The present study, therefore, lend pharmacological support to the folkloric uses of Dorstenia barteri extracts in the treatment, control and/or management of arthritis, rheumatism, gout, headache and other forms of body pains in some parts of Africa.

Antioxidant activity of prenylated flavonoids from the West African medicinal plant Dorstenia manniiDufall, K.; Ngadjui, B.; Simeon, K.; Abegaz, B.; Croft, K. (Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. www.elsevier.com/locate/jethpharm, NaN, 2003)[more][less]
Abstract: The antioxidant activities of three prenylated flavonoids from Dorstenia mannii (6,8-diprenyleriodictyol, dorsmanin C and dorsmanin F) were compared to the common, non-prenylated flavonoid, quercetin. The prenylated flavonoids were found to be potent scavengers of the stable free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and are more potent than butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT), a common antioxidant used as a food additive. The prenylated flavonoids also inhibited Cu2+-mediated oxidation of human low density lipoprotein (LDL). Dose-response studies indicated that the prenylated flavonoids were effective inhibitors of lipoprotein oxidation with IC50 values <1 M and had similar inhibitory potency compared to quercetin, but was not directly related to Cu binding. Unlike quercetin, they did not show any pro-oxidant activity at high doses in the Cu2+-mediated lipoprotein oxidation system. The medicinal action of Dorstenia mannii may be related to the high concentration of potent antioxidant prenylated flavonoids in this species.

Abstract: The twigs of Dorstenia barteri var. subtriangularis yielded three diprenylated chalcones: ( )-3-(3,3-dimethylallyl)-50-(2-hydroxy-3- methylbut-3-enyl)-4,20,40-trihydroxychalcone, (+)-3-(3,3-dimethylallyl)-40,50-[2000-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-dihydrofurano]-4,20- dihydroxychalcone and 3,4-(600,600-dimethyldihydropyrano)-40,50-[2000,-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-dihydrofurano]-20-hydroxychalcone for which the names bartericins A, B and C, respectively, are proposed. Stipulin, b-sitosterol and its 3-b-D-glucopyranosyl derivative were also isolated. The structures of these secondary metabolites were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, especially, NMR spectra in conjunction with 2D experiments, COSY, HMQC and HMBC. The structural relationship of bartericins B and C was further established by the chemical cyclization of one to the other. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/258 Files in this item: 2

Abstract: The genus Lannea belongs to the family Anacardiaceae and consists of 40 species. Lannea nigritana (Sc. Elliot) Keay is a small tree of 3e6 m of height found in the tropical rain forest (Berhaut, 1971; Letouzey, 1972). It is used in the traditional medicine for the treatment of various infectious diseases (Berhaut, 1971; Burkill, 1985). The stem bark of this plant was collected in Makenene, Centre Province of Cameroon in December 2003. The identification was done by Mr. Nana from the National Herbarium of Yaounde where a voucher specimen (N 40408/HNC) documenting the collection is deposited.

Three-Time Victims: Colombians Continue to Face Violence, Neglect, and Stigma as a Result of Long-Standing ConflictMSF calls for expanded and improved mental health care for victims of the armed conflict
New York, July 27, 2010—Victims of the on-going conflict in Colombia not only suffer from the direct consequences of violence caused by the conflict but also from social and institutional stigma and neglect, according to a report released today by the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). In the report, titled "Three Time Victims," MSF documents how violence, stigma, and neglect impact the mental health of people living in Caquetá Department of southern Colombia, and calls for mental health services to be adapted to the needs of this vulnerable population.

European stock markets posted stellar gains as investors returning from the New Year's break cheered a deal in Washington to avert spending cuts and tax increases widely seen as potentially threatening a U.S. recession.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index jumped 2% to end at 285.33, the highest closing level since February 2011. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 index advanced 2.2% to 6027.37, while Germany's DAX rose 2.2% to 7778.78. France's CAC-40 gained 2.6% to 3733.93.

Late Tuesday, Congress broke a prolonged stalemate, passing legislation that allowed the U.S. to avoid an austerity package that would have taken effect in the absence of a deal. The bill represented the biggest tax increase in two decades and was passed despite objections from conservative Republicans in the House.
In two months, $110 billion in spending cuts delayed by Tuesday's package will again kick in, making another battle in Congress all but inevitable. At the same time, the U.S. will need to increase its borrowing limit, a change that can only be made by Congress.
"We still have upcoming challenges with the debt limit debate, but a lot of people left the stock market, and they need to come back," said Michael Strauss, chief investment strategist at Commonfund, in Wilton, Conn. In early afternoon in New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 222 points, or 1.7%, to 13326, for a second consecutive session of triple-digit gains. The blue-chip Dow had rallied 166 points, or 1.3%, on New Year's Eve, to close out a year of solid returns.
Haven investments such as U.S. Treasury debt, which have been supported by concern that over the so-called fiscal cliff, lost ground. The benchmark U.S. 10-year notes were down 27/32, to yield 1.841% as European markets closed, while March Bunds were down 157 ticks to 144.07 in Germany.
The euro initially rallied, rising well above $1.32, but slipped back to $1.3163, down from $1.3195 late Monday in New York.
Yields on 10-year Spanish and Italian government debt fell to their lowest levels since March 2011 and December 2010, respectively.
Mining stocks, whose performance is closely tied to the overall economy, posted sharp gains in Europe, getting an extra boost from news that manufacturing activity in China continued to expand at a modest pace in December. The Stoxx 600 index for basic resources rose 4.6%.
Copper futures in New York rose to a 10-week high, while oil, another commodity that marches to the global economic drum, was up $1.28 at $93.10 on the New York Mercantile Exchange as European equity markets closed. Oil was above $93 a barrel for the first time since October.

Biologically Inspired = Highly Desired?
Posted December 21st, 2010 by emilychangMother Nature is a great innovator. In fact, one might argue that some of today's most efficient technologies were not engineered, but rather, exist in nature as the byproducts of a little process called evolution.
As such, it comes as no surprise that scientists sometimes look to nature as a source of inspiration for their next innovations. One example that comes to mind is Rice University's Project Squid Skin. This four-year, $6 million grant from the Office of Naval Research aims to develop "metamaterials" that emulate the camouflage techniques of a class of animals called cephalopods (which includes squid, octopus, and cuttlefish). Researchers plan to use patterns of organized nanostructures to create sheets of materials that can change colors quickly and "see" light in the same way that squid skins do.
Meanwhile, scientists at the University of Southampton are developing an underwater sonar device that would be able to detect objects through bubble clouds that normally scatter sound and clutter the sonar image. The inspiration for this research? Dolphins, which have been observed to create bubble nets that outsmart manmade sonar. "It occurred to me that either dolphins were blinding their sonar when making such nets, or else they have a better sonar system," said Professor Timothy Leighton of the University's Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR). Not a bad point.
Of course, marine life isn't the only sector of the animal kingdom capable of setting exciting new technologies in motion. A German bionics company, Festo, designed a Bionic Handling Assistant (robotic arm) that was inspired by the elephant's trunk. According to the company, the system could be useful for medical technology, rehabilitation, and in industrial environments. Not too shabby for an animal sometimes referred to as "Dumbo."

Chess is a game played between two players using 32 pieces (16 each of two distinct colors) on a square grid of 64 squares.
The earliest known ancestor of modern chess was an Indian game called Chaturanga, where the knight, King, and Rooks moved the same, but there was no castling or two square move for the pawn, and the Bishop and Queen were much weaker. It then moved to Persia where it was known as Chatrang, eventually making its way through the still-youthful Islamic Empire, where it was known as Shatranj, into Southern Spain. By the 1500's it had spread all through Europe and there were many different ways to play, including one where both King and Queen could move at the same time. The modern rules were adopted in Spain, and later the rest of Europe, sometime in the 1500's.
Legend has it that the Queen's power on the chess board was the idea of Spanish chess players, modeling it after Queen Isabella, arguably one of the most powerful female monarchs in European History.
Chess has been acknowledged as a sport by more than 100 countries. FIDE (Fédération Internationale des échecs) is the third largest sporting body in the world (behind the IOC and FIFA), has a delegate to the IOC, and may be in the Olympics sometime soon, making Chess one of the most popular sports in the world.

good read!!!!!! (:
Great game.
It would be very nice if chess becomes the most popular sport.
Sport of the mind. Sid Meier's CIV on a standard Earth map, with 14 players at a time, should also apply for Olympic representation - as should all other 'sports of the mind'... no? Why stop at standard chess? Take the concept to it's logical conclusion, and have national teams of the best thinkers participate in the 'Mental Olympics'
a bit incomplete but i realize there is too much history to list here. Murray still has the definitive book on chess history, but i can't find it anywhere (suppose i haven't looked hard though, never looked online for it). Also i have read recently somewhere that the ancestor or origin might also have been china. David Shenk's book The Immortal Game is a great read for anyone with mild or above interest in chess, Murray's i believe would be to academic for most
i want a kick some butts on these chess games
its good information.in armenia we call the game shakhmad,its combination of two words shakh means check and mad neans mat ,thanks again for good information about this intelligent game that developed in many countries.
I'm learning
Very nice ~!~!~!~!~!

Need I say more? I think the title says it all.
A woman who my mom knows through work had these kittens she was looking to get rid of, and well whenever animals are being given away my mom always comes to me. And who is going to say no to a kitten? Of course I wanted one. So she told the woman I was interested and I just got the new kitten last night.
I call him Strega, which means witch in Italian. He is a very mellow and mild mannered little guy, in fact his temperament is a lot like my old cat Zeo. I was quite surprised as I had thought at first being in a new place and away from his siblings that he would cry a lot, but he is pretty quiet, and seems quite content and easily adaptable. He is not skittish, and when I go out to see him he likes to follow me around everywhere. He likes rolling around on top of my feet and trying to climb up my legs.
Because he originally came from an apartment, when I took him out this morning in the yard to get used to being outside, and his new surroundings at first he was rather suspicious of the grass.
I have some pictures I wanted to share but I am having trouble getting them to upload. Every method I have tried has failed, but I will see if I can figure it out.

Thanks a lot, it booted from CD fine with the Home Edition CD. Why doesn't Office boot? what makes it different?
i think because its not bootable, its not made for that. that would be my guess. now you need an OS, feel like trying Vista out?
i honestly dont know because i'm still on XP. But SP2 should be out soon and plenty of folks here are happy with Vista. I'm sure they will be able to help you out if u have trouble. I'm just saying that it doesnt make sense to buy XP at this point, if i was buying now id get Vista.
I am hearing that Office XP is not an OS, its actually just a bunch of desktop apps(word, power point) bundled together.
it is if you lost your XP key it can be found in the i 386 folder if you browse the CD on another rig.
i dont get it, how can you get your key in 386 folder if you were trying to reinstall, everything should be wiped by a preinstall format????
You put the CD in another system that has an OS installed on it. And go to the folder to see your key, but its doesn't work for me tho.
i see what u saying, i didnt account for another PC, lol damn, though, it should've worked, as long as both machines had XP Home, of course.
make sure its absolutely written right i have a bad habit on ym vista key to type P before t and i type Z as 2 ans "0" as "o" best bet is to copy and print it in notepad

Paris Hilton and her Hottie and the Nottie costar, Christine Lakin, caused a little stir as they went out to dinner in Los Angeles Wednesday night.
Posts for January 2008
Ryan Is Black and White and Red All Over the Slopes
Ryan Phillippe looked about 17-years-old (I mean, a handsome 17, but still young) hitting the slopes at Big Bear this week. Not bad for a little mid-week Manjoyment especially considering he hasn't always been looking his best recently. To go with his snowboarding gear, Ryan was showing off yet another Africare shirt, only this time it looks like he stepped it up from the hand-drawn look to an iron-on decal. These photos are definitely a treat — maybe next time he'll bring his adorable little mini-me along for a lesson on the slopes.
Lindsay's Still Feeling Furry
Lindsay Lohan stepped out of the Four Seasons wearing yet another fur coat yesterday — she's clearly found her favorite way to brave the NYC cold. At least she was looking a little more her age in her cozy hat and Wayfarers. We wonder if that big smile has anything to do with her new boyfriend of the moment. It's probably only a matter of time before they're spotted together, but let's hope she's smart enough this time to choose a boy who isn't just waiting for his chance to sell her out.
Paris and the Nottie Do Dinner
After a few days on the East coast, Paris was back in LA yesterday making her Fila sponsors proud. Of course, it wasn't all work and no play for Paris in NYC, because the recent LA lesbian club staple was spotted at a club on Tuesday making out with her friend Elisha Cuthbert. Anything for a little attention right? Back in LA, it was another type of stunt for the heiress who went out to dinner with her in-costume The Hottie and the Nottie costar, Christine Lakin. Fun fact: you might remember (but not recognize) Christine as "Al Lambert" from Step by Step. Poor girl having to wear that get up out, but who knows, maybe she's not big on being seen with Paris anyway.

Matthew McConaughey Is Already Thinking For Two
Kate Hudson ditched her blue dress for a more comfortable pantsuit after the premiere of Fool's Gold in LA last night, but kept on her pretty and dramatic eye makeup for the party. She and Matthew were showing off that friendly flirtation we love so much, but he was more into opening up about how much he's enjoying his relationship with Camila and their little baby already. He said,
"I am a happy man, thank you. Already, even with Camila just being pregnant now, the parenthood is begun. There is already a slight shift in the thoughts, the way I think about the future, and it has more of a 'we' to it instead of just a 'me.' That feels good, it's fine, and it hasn't really changed my point of view. It's just encompassed a little more quality."
In fact, MM says he is so happy with his current situation that he and Camila have no plans for marriage right now. Guess Matthew's mom has her work cut out for her.
Berry Bump
A very pregnant and curly haired Halle Berry waved goodbye to friends after lunching in LA Wednesday.
Breakout Virtuoso
Casey Affleck looked adorably tousled as he accepted an award at the Santa Barbara Film Festival's Film Virtuous Tribute on Wednesday night.
Jessica and Cash Left Their Smiles in NYC
After flashing a million smiles all over the talk show circuit and around New York, Jessica Alba was a little less sunny making her way back through LAX with Cash yesterday afternoon. She's got her big Hollywood premiere of The Eye tonight, so it's not straight home and into cozy sweatpants for Jess. Maybe Cash will even walk the red carpet with his expectant fiancee tonight when she gets all gussied up to answer a million more questions about the baby. At least she scored some sweet swag when she stopped by Tyra yesterday for a little improptu baby shower. Hmm, looks like the theme was a little bit blue.
Halle Takes Her Bump and Hair Out to Lunch
Halle Berry isn't letting her pregnancy get in the way of her daily routine — or her style. After she spent the weekend fashionably shopping in LA, she joined a pal for lunch yesterday looking chic in a black leather jacket and heels. That bump of Halle's seems to be growing by the minute, so it can't be long until we get the news that there's a beautiful new Berry-Aubry baby in the world.
