Rick Warren: 1st Amendment protects freedom to practice one's faith in full
Specifically, does the First Amendment guarantee believers of all faiths the freedom to practice their ethics, educate their children and operate family businesses based on their religious beliefs, moral convictions and freedom of conscience? Do Americans have the freedom to place our beliefs and ethics at the center of our business practices — or must we ignore them when we form a company?

Photography Erik Messori documents illegal coal mining in Eastern India and the health hazards affecting the population.
Earlier today, Evan Osnos, the Beijing-based staff writer for The New Yorker (and the 2007 winner of the Asia Society's Osborn Elliott Prize for Excellence in Journalism on Asia), wrote a blog post about the exhibit (and his fears for the health of anyone breathing Beijing's perpetually "hazardous" air).
Today's New York Times devotes extensive coverage to Coal + Ice, a new photography exhibition that opened last weekend at the Three Shadows gallery in Beijing.

The traffic into the stadium was horrendous. As with any big event like this, make sure to leave early.

Etrade Rewards Visa Platinum Credit Card Review
Review of Etrade Rewards Visa Platinum CardSummary - If you are a customer of etrade, then you just might be tempted with getting their credit card. Is it good at all? Well, the Etrade Rewards Visa Platinum is rewards credit card that allows you to earn rewards that can be redeemed for statement credits, commission-free trades, travel and merchandise rewards and gift certificates. We'll do some thorough investigation here.
Rewards - The Etrade Rewards Card allows you to earn one point for every dollar you spend on the card. You can earn unlimited reward points which can be used for statement credits, commission-free trades, travel and merchandise rewards and gift certificates. New cardholders get 2,000 reward points after their first purchase.
Fees and Rates - There ia no annual fee. The apr is prime rate plus 3.90%. There is no introductory offer though cardholders may get offers from time to time. T average daily balance method (including new purchase) method is used to calculate monthly balances. The grace period for purchases is 25 days.
Etrade Credit Card Peer Comparison
Etrade Visa vs Fideliity Amex - The big issue with the etrade visa is that you can only earn one point for every dollar that you spend on the card. The Fidelity Amex for example, allows you to earn 2% cash rebates which will be deposited into either your savings or brokerage account or your IRA depending on which card you have. So in terms of pure rebates, the Etrade Visa is outshone by Fidelity.
Trade vs Charles Schwab Visa - Charles Schwab also has a Visa that gives a straight 2% cash back on every purchases you make on the card. Like the Fidelity Card, the cash back is deposited into your brokerage account (not retirement account). So once again, the Etrade Visa pales in comparison with the Charles Schwab Visa. (update - the Charles Schwab Visa is no longer being offered).
Doesn't look like a great card, does it? - Compared to its' peers, this card kind of sucks. It gives the standard 1% rewards while the Fidelity Amex and Schwab Visa gives a 2% rebate (double). Having said that, if you are an etrade customer, you will probably have chosen it because you think it has a better platform or tools for your investing needs. Hence, I suspect that if you want to get this card to squeeze out that 1% automatically into your etrade account, then it may not be such a bad thing.

BOSTON, MA - April 30, 2014 - HFF announced today that it has closed the sale of a 24-property, 1.4 million-square-foot retail portfolio located in the greater Boston area, New Jersey and Connecticut.HFF exclusively marketed the portfolio on behalf of G.P.B. Holdings, LLC and introduced the buyer, Kimco Realty Corporation (NYSE: KIM), who purchased the properties for $270 million including the assumption of approximately $121 million of debt.The overall portfolio was 96 percent occupied and anchored by a variety of national and regional credit tenants including Walmart, Kohl's, Lowe's, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Petco, Pier 1 Imports, Walgreens, CVS as well as Kings and Aldi supermarkets. Twenty-one of the properties are located in Massachusetts, two are in New Jersey and one is located in Connecticut. Several included irreplaceable, core locations such as the Trader Joe's near Harvard and M.I.T. on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts and a Whole Foods in close proximity to Boston College and Boston University in Brighton, Massachusetts. The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing director Jim Koury and executive managing director John Fowler.According to Koury, "This was unique opportunity to acquire a critical mass of retail property located in Boston's inner suburbs where it is rare to see the transfer of retail ownership. In addition to being well located, the overall portfolio will provide Kimco with good opportunity to grow the cash flow over their investment horizon. It's been personally satisfying to have originally orchestrated the sale of this same portfolio back in 1996 and again now in 2014. I'm positive Kimco will be as successful with the portfolio as the previous owners."HFF (Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P.) and HFFS (HFF Securities L.P.) are owned by HFF, Inc. (NYSE: HF). HFF operates out of 22 offices nationwide and is a leading provider of commercial real estate and capital markets services to the U.S. commercial real estate industry.

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said Tuesday that he still sees the U.S. central bank raising interest rates some time early next year.
"The data I've seen are basically on track with our projections" and continue to point to the Fed raising interest rates at the end of the first quarter as a "reasonable judgment," Mr. Bullard said. But he emphasized that his outlook for central bank policy is not calendar based, saying what happens "depends on how the economy evolves." Read More »

He gave me half my performance with the lighting, says actress Kathleen Byron of cinematographer Jack Cardiff, who shot her in 1947s Black Narcissus. A rebuke to style-versus-substance segregationists, these words pay tribute to the star of Craig McCalls documentary, a soapbox for the wizened eminence to explain the innovative effects he achieved with a Technicolor camera the size of a sedan while narrating his epoch-spanning career. The son of music-hall actors, Cardiff began in movies in 1918, as a child performer. An autodidact whose film school was the National Gallery, he trained as Englands first colour cinematographer; shot Narcissus and other legendary collaborations with Michael Powell; directed Sons and Lovers and several ingenious, scurrilous B-movies; then returned to cinematography to immortalize the sweat-beaded torsos of Stallone and Schwarzenegger in the 80s. Cardiff shows off a gallery of famous co-workers on his wall and counts the casualties: Hes dead, shes dead . . . You can do the same with interviewees in Cameraman, 17 years in the making: Directors Peter Yates and Richard Fleischer, DP Freddie Francis, Charlton Hestonand Cardiff himself, whose inextricable life and work ended in 2009. Director Alan Parker (still living) nicely describes the tightrope teeter of Cardiffs hothouse imagery: Its great art, and then it will be kitsch, and then it will be art again. Or is he summing up cinema itself?

The key to success in 2014 and beyond is coordinating and synchronizing your content marketing with your marketing automation and marketing analytics.
It seems crazy to say that "content is king" in 2014, when it's been our true sovereign for decades. While we can't survive in modern marketing without campaign management, database platforms and marketing automation, none of those technological solutions are going to build the business if we don't have amazing content to power the automation engine.
The key to success in 2014 and beyond is coordinating and synchronizing your content marketing with your marketing automation and marketing analytics.
Content is what ultimately connects you with customers and prospects. It is what builds trust, especially as some data-driven marketing pushes consumers into very personal and customized experiences. All the data -- big or small -- we use just comes down to creating those precious moments of truth for a customer. And what is it that makes a moment of truth come alive? The content that resonates in that moment, that channel and that stage in the lifecycle.
This is not simple or easy. It takes a commitment to understanding the customer attitude, how lifestages evolve and how different channels work together. It takes a new mindset around moving from content creation to content curation -- a method that must permit creative genius and brand imagery, while at the same time embracing a modular approach. It's hard to balance those, particularly if you have a tightly controlled visual brand.
It also takes a village of your marketing team to produce and manage great, relevant content. The good news is that many disciplines in the group are already really good at producing content and creative variations that can be automated. Tap into that expertise and experience for your automation and optimization projects this year.
Consider that already:
Many marketers don't realize they are doing content marketing; they think of it as segmentation or audience development or drip marketing or even campaign management. It's usually a fascinating and insightful conversation to ask people to step back and articulate how they are sourcing and creating and managing content (I'm sure you will find many untapped best practices around your department today). Just this simple conversation can be a great exercise in ideation.
The key is to be purposeful in your content marketing. It's so integrated into our marketing processes that we often neglect to optimize or even consider efficiencies or opportunities. Every business is a publisher of some sort, through blogs and social media, email marketing, the website, whitepapers, customer presentation, internal and client training, executive summaries... all of this and more can be a strong foundation for a more purposeful content approach.
A benefit today is that the marketing team does not have to create all the content -- it's everywhere. Tap your colleagues in other departments, your partners, your customers and even the media and outside bloggers and influencers. Just as social marketing is the job of every employee who has a Twitter account, so too is content marketing a responsibility of anyone who is good at what they do in your organization. Most business outputs involve content of some sort and sure, lots of it is proprietary and confidential, but a lot of it can be repurposed.
When you put content at the center of your automation and marketing, you start to realize a lot of synergies across the various marketing teams. It can be a great way to rally and synergize when the business culture allows. Couple a content marketing strategy with marketing analytics to strengthen your understanding of your customers, improve conversion rates, gain business insights that move the needle and nurture all your various audience segments.
How are you celebrating and optimizing your content marketing to innovate marketing practices, processes and customer experience? Please share in the comments section below.

Video interviewing? Be prepared for the next recruiting frontier
With the marketplace for talent growing ever more competitive, smart companies are recognizing that a process that reduces time and cost to hire can provide a significant competitive advantage. Hiring managers are increasingly willing to explore new methods of attracting, interviewing and hiring talent.
Combine this with rapid technological progressions such as online bandwidth, network speeds and computer cameras, and you've created the perfect environment for one such methodology to thrive: video interviewing.
Mention video interviewing in some HR circles and you will be bombarded with concerns about its legality, technical requirements and how it fits into the current hiring process.
Yet there's no denying that video interviewing has moved beyond the trend phase. Fortune 500 companies with significant hiring needs, recruiters interviewing geographically disperse candidates and high-tech companies whose candidates "live" online all use this technology.
But the user base is still growing, and more mainstream companies are adopting the technology, too. A recent study by Aberdeen Group reported that 32 percent of organizations are investing in video interviewing, compared to 21 percent of organizations in 2012.
What's more, some video-conferencing vendors tout a reduction in time to hire by up to 50 percent and a cost per hire savings of up to $1,500.
Assuming video interviewing is something your organization would like to explore, below are a few tips to ensure you're using the medium most effectively:
Recognize video's limitations
Video interviews can be a powerful tool for conducting initial meetings with candidates, often as an alternative to phone screening. The information gained from a candidate's body language is valuable for separating candidates who otherwise might not be differentiated via a phone interview.

A dressing method has been devised for plated grinding wheels having relatively coarse mesh microcrystalline cubic boron nitride abrasive. The method comprises lightly grinding cemented metal carbide (e.g. cobalt cemented tungsten carbide) with the grinding wheel before grinding the intended workiece. Wheels dressed in this manner have been found to obtain good surface finishes (16-18 RMS) while maintaining a free cutting aggressive action which gives high grinding rates.
1. A method of dressing a plated grinding wheel made with a single layer of microcrystalline cubic boron nitride grit which method comprises rotating said grinding wheel and lightly grinding a cemented metal carbide with several passes of the grinding wheel before grinding the intended workpiece.
2. The dressing method of claim 1 which comprises making at least 8 passes of the grinding wheel over the cemented metal carbide at a wheel speed of about 1676 surface meters per minute and about 25 downfeed per pass.
3. A method of dressing a grinding wheel made with microcrystalline cubic boron nitride grit which method comprises rotating said grinding wheel and lightly grinding a cemented metal carbide with several passes of the grinding wheel before grinding the intended workpiece.
1. Technical Field
This invention relates to methods for dressing grinding wheels. More particularly, it relates to dressing electroplated grinding wheels containing cubic boron nitride abrasive grit.
2. Background
Dressing may be defined as any operation performed on the face of a grinding wheel which improves its cutting action. Trueing is a dressing operation but is more precise, i.e., the face of the wheel may be made parallel to the grinding wheel spindle or made into a radius or special shape by trueing. Dressing and trueing are accomplished through the use of a variety of tools, such as rotary dressers, trueing brakes, and single point and multiple point diamond dressing tools. Dressing is performed with such a tool by engaging the periphery of the rotating grinding wheel with the tool.
The manufacture of electroplated grinding wheels is known to the art. They can be manufactured by electroplating nickel onto a suitable substrate cathode which is in contact with a quantity of abrasive grits, such as cubic boron nitride (CBN). Sufficient nickel is electroplated onto the substrate (e.g. steel) to tack down and retain the grinding grit on the surface of the wheel. One electroplating bath which may be used is known as a Watts bath, the composition of which is available in the literature.
Some references on nickel plated abrasive tools and electroplating in general are: Grenier, J. W. and Palovchik, S. T., "Electroplated Tools Fabrication and Performance,"presented at Diamond,--Partner in Productivity a Technical Symposium by Industrial Diamond Association of America, Inc., Nov. 11-12, 1974, Washington, D.C.; Ollard, E. A., Introductory Electroplating, Robert Draper Limited, Tedington, England, 1969; Metal Finishing, 49th Guidebook-Directory Issue, 1981, Metals and Plastics Publications, Inc., Hackensack, N.J.; Graham, K. A., Electroplating Handbook, 3rd ed., Van Nostrand Reinhold Co., N.Y., 1971; and Lowenheim, F. A., Electroplating, McGraw Hill Book Co., 1978.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,389,223 describes a type of cubic boron nitride especially developed for electroplated products. In particular, it is a microcrystalline CBN, especially treated to remove any surface electrically conducting phase which would interfere with electroplating. The CBN grit particles of this application are boron rich (i.e., have greater than the stoichiometric ratio of boron to nitrogen found in normal boron nitride), but it is believed that the treatment (an acid leaching process) removes elemental boron from the surface of the grits.
One embodiment of this type of CBN consists essentially of single crystal, catalyst grown CBN embedded in a matrix of boron-rich polycrystalline CBN which has been made from graphitic hexagonal boron nitride. The catalyst grown CBN can be prepared by the well known catalytic high pressure/high temperature technique (see U.S. Pat. No. 3,150,929; 3,192,015; 3,701,826; 3,918,931; and 3,959,443). The manufacture of the microcrystalline grit containing the catalyst grown single crystals is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,289,503, while the surface treatment process is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,389,223.
The surface treatment process to make the grit more amenable to electroplating comprises leaching the cubic boron nitride with an acid mixture seletected from the group consisting of nitric/sulfuric acid mixtures and phosphoric/sulfuric acid mixtures for a sufficient time to remove any surface conducting phase. For example, a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids (initial mole ratio of nitric to sulfuric acid of 0.017 to 2.43) at a temperature of between 100� and 300� C. could be used to leach the grit for a time of from 10 minutes to 12 hours.
The graphitic boron nitride used to make the type of CBN described in the paragraph above is a variety of hexagonal boron nitride which is distinguished from turbostratic boron nitride. The turbostratic structure is characteristic of pyrolytic boron nitride and is a continuous strcture characterized by two-dimensional layers of hexagonal rings stacked at irregular intervals and randomly oriented. Graphitic boron nitride (GBN) generally has a more ordered crystal structure than turbostratic or pyrolytic boron nitride. The boron and nitrogen atoms are believed to form more or less parallel stacks of fused boron nitride layers in the hexagonal lattice, with the stacking being fairly ordered in translation parallel to the layers and also in rotation about the normal to the layers. In other words, there are fewer imperfections and distortions within the GBN structure. GBN has a density of about 2.28 g/cm3 and an interlayer spacing of about 3.33 angstroms. The structure in any mass of GBN is continuous in any given direction, as opposed to being separated by crystal boundaries. The material is generally soft, flaky and light in color.
Further details on the two forms of hexagonal boron nitride may be found in Thomas, J. et al, "Turbostratic Boron Nitride, Thermal Transformations to Ordered-layer-lattice Boron Nitride," J. A. C. S., vol. 84, (Jan. 25, 1963) p. 4619; and Economy, J. and Anderson, R., "Boron Nitride Fibers," J. Polymer Science: Part C, No. 19,(1967) p. 283.
Normally, abrasive wheels, made by the electroplating method of metal entraining the grit on a metallic surface, are not dressed. In fact, such wheels are advertised as not to be dressed, or dressing is not recommended. The reason for this is the single layer of abrasive which retained in the electroplated metal bonded to the substrate might be stripped from the surface or fractured so that no protusion exists above the level of the bonding metal. In either case, the usefulness of the wheel is effectively destroyed.
However, in the case of plated grinding wheels made with the microcrystalline CBN grit described above, although the wheels demonstrate remarkably high grinding rates (in the order of 0.62 in3 /min.), the surface furnish on the workpiece is poor. The reason for this poor surface finish is thought to be the non-uniformity of the height of protusion of the grinding grits from the electroplated metal bond, giving high spots on the wheel. Thus, the problem presented is how to improve the workpiece finish without degenerating the grinding wheel performance.
This problem has been solved by dressing the plated CBN grinding wheel not with a normal dressing tool, but by grinding a cemented metal carbide block (e.g. cobalt cemented tungsten carbide) before the wheel is used on the intended workpiece. The thought behind this was that, although single crystal catalyst grown CBN grit will not normally grind cemented carbide in a resinoid wheel, the higher grit strength and the microcrystallinity of the CBN grit described in the background section above might allow the wheel to grind carbide and allow removal of the high spots from the wheel without gross fracture of the grits. This would present the wheel to the intended workpiece with more cutting grits and more cutting points per grit.
Through this dressing technique, the surface finish on the workpiece is improved, and the grinding wheel still grinds at a high rate. The plated wheel with the microcrystalline CBN grit has been found to grind metal carbide quite well, at a rate orders of magnitude better than other CBN grits (e.g. single crystal, catalyst grown CBN). More importantly, after such conditioning, the plated wheel will grind relatively soft steel with a substantially improved and satisfactory surface finish, while maintaining high grinding rates.
cl BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 1 is a front elevation view in simplified form of a grinding wheel and dressing tool positioned to utilize the dressing process of this invention.
In commercial metal working, surface finish or roughness is based upon the absolute values of the measured profile height deviations of the surface from a graphical or nominal center line within the sampling length. One of the common ways of expressing values of surface finish or roughness is RMS, or the root mean square of the absolute values of those profile height deviations in microinches. A value of about 50 to 60 RMS would normally be unacceptable, and finish grinding would be required. A value of about 32 RMS is considered a commercially acceptable finish for commercial grades of steel used in machinery and tools.
The invention will be further clarified by a consideration of the following example which is intended to be purely exemplary. The plate surface grinding wheel used had the following characteristics: 12 inch (300 mm.) diameter, 1/2 inch (12 mm.) width, using CBN grit characterized as 30/40 mesh size (600/425 micron) aggregated cubic boron nitride consisting essentially of single crystal, catalyst grown CBN embedded in a matrix of boron rich polycrystalline cubic boron nitride made from graphitic hexagonal boron nitride (obtained as BORAZON 570 CBN from General Electric Company) in a concentration on the wheel of about 0.31 carats per square centimeter (2 carats/in2). The intended workpiece was a relatively low carbon soft alloy steel, American Iron and Steel Institute grade 1020 (not heat treated or hardened). The grinding conditions were: wheel speed of 5,498 surface feet per minute (1,676 per minute), depth of cut 1/2 inch (3 mm.) per pass, table speed 10 inch/min. (250 mm./min), straight oil used as coolant.
The surface finish achieved under the above stated conditions before any dressing of the plated wheel was 80-85 RMS. The wheel was then dressed by traversing a one inch square block of cobalt cemented tungsten carbide (6% cobalt and 94% tungsten carbide, obtained as Carboloy� grade 44 A from General Electric Company) under the following conditions: 4 passes of the grinding wheel at the surface speed stated above and at a depth of 0.001 inch (0.025 mm.). After dressing in this manner, a new 10 inch long by 1/2 inch wide slot was ground into the AISI 1020 steel workpiece under the conditions stated above, and the surface finish obtained was 60-65 RMS. After dressing the wheel again in the manner previously stated with an additional 4 passes over the tungsten carbide, a third slot was ground in the AISI 1020 steel workpiece, and a finish of 25-35 RMS was obtained. After dressing a third time by additional 4 passes over the tungsten carbide block, a fourth slot was ground into the low carbon steel workpiece, and a finish of 16-18 RMS was obtained. In all of these tests, a high material removal rate of about 0.625 in3 /min. (10.2 cm3 /min.) was maintained. By comparison, an ordinary aluminum oxide plated wheel would be expected to either burn the workpiece if made with a relatively hard bond or fail to hold its size if made with a relatively soft bond under such grinding conditions on such a workpiece. The relatively large amount of space between the grinding grits at such a low concentration on the wheel combined with coarse mesh size allows for the high removal rate.
Until this experiment was performed, it was unexpected that a commercial metal finish could be obtained with such a coarse mesh, free cutting, agressive grinding wheel. In light of this work, it is now expected that such results would be obtained with any similar grinding wheel manufactured with this type of abrasive at such low concentrations, using coarse mesh size grit (180 microns in largest dimension or larger).
Other embodiments of this invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art form a conderation of this specification or practice of the invention disclosed herein. Various omissions, modifications and changes to the principles described herein may be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the true scope and spirit of the invention which is indicated by the following claims.

Two committees of the Italian Senate held a joint hearing on the violations of human rights in Iran and the Iranian regime's interference in Middle Eastern countries.
Mr. Struan Stevenson, the president of the European Iraqi Freedom Association (EIFA) and Mrs. Dowlat Nowrouzi, the U.K. Representative of the National Council of Resistance of Iran were heard by Italian senators and dignitaries.
NCRI - Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, described the 61st resolution condemning the brutal and systematic violation of human rights in Iran adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 18, 2014, as another decisive document on illegitimacy of having economic and political relationship with the ruling clerical regime in Iran and added: "This resolution leaves no doubt that the regime's appalling human rights record must be referred to the Security Council for binding and preventive measures, and those responsible for 120,000 political executions must be brought to justice."
Iranian dissidents in Camp Liberty have staged a protest at psychological torture by Iraqi guards who are broadcasting sound into the camp through giant loudspeakers.
One camp resident told the Al-Jazeera news channel on Wednesday: "We are protesting today the sound torture of Camp Liberty by Iraqi intelligence agents. For 45 days, agents of the Iranian regime that were stationed here during the previous Iraqi government have began torturing residents by broadcasting sound into the camp, closest to where the sick are housed."
Iran's Baha'is minority have no civil rights in the regime because their beliefs are contrary to Islam, a senior cleric close to Hassan Rouhani has decreed.
Mohammad Mousavi-Bodjnordi - head of Iran's civil rights watchdog - told the state-run Fars news agency: "The Baha'i belief is contrary to Islam. In Iran, Baha'is have no civil rights and in particular, they do not have the right to study."
The United Nations General Assembly on Thursday slammed the violations of human rights by the Iranian regime.
The resolution criticizes the Iranian regime's use of inhuman punishments, including flogging and amputations, and its use of the death penalty against young people under age 18.
OPEC countries will earn around $700 billion dollars from oil exports in 2014, a drop of 14 per cent on the previous year - but Iran's decrease in oil revenue could be even steeper, America's Energy Information Administration has announced.
The drop in oil earning was due to a fall in OPEC oil exports and lower oil prices, with the 2014 average for Brent crude oil projected to be eight per cent below the average 2013 price, the EIA report said.
NCRI - The cruel medical blockade on Camp Liberty and hampering access of residents to medical services continues.
On 15 December 2014, while all coordination for transfer of five patients to hospital had been made, in the last minutes and for no reason, the Iraqi agents prevented the patients' departure and thus they missed all of their medical appointments.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance believes the Iranian regime must be placed under 'maximum international pressure and sanctions' if it is to be forced to give up its quest for a nuclear bomb.
In an interview with Ambassador Ken Blackwell, published in a number of news media, the leader of the Iranian Resistance identified the three facets of the regime's survival strategy. Firstly, acquiring nuclear weapons, secondly, repressing its own citizens and thirdly aggression and meddling in neighbouring countries.
The head of the Iranian regime's Human Rights Council has said if the nuclear talks fail, it will be the fault of the West.
Mohammad Javad Larijani said that world powers are grasping at 'every opportunity' to put pressure on Iran in their negotiations with the regime.
NCRI - Two men have been publicly lashed in Iran for offences of disturbing public order and mischief.
The pair named only as K.A. and M.M. were each given 40 lashes in Chamestan County, in Mazandaran province.

Current Stocks Trending On StockTwits 0 comments
By Jeff Pierce
Outlook for next 3 months: Likely to trend higher over next few quarters but is slightly overbought. Would look to enter on pullback near $47-46, assuming it pulls back from these levels. If it continues higher, then you may have to adjust buy point upwards.
Outlook for next 3 months: Disappointing earnings reaction coupled with a technically weak chart causes a lot of concern in this chart. I expect this to trade lower for the next quarter or two down in the $38-36 range. Long term trend is intact and after a decent pullback could be a good long term buy.
Outlook for next 3 months: After basing for most of 2012 this sleeping giant has awoken. Look for this to consolidate under resistance and make a run at the $11 level. If it can get above this key area this is going much higher.
And now for something completely different. Here's is a picture my neighbor painted of a beach in Mexico. Isn't it beautiful? This is where I envision myself trading from someday full time.Back To Jeff Pierce's Instablog HomePage »

Kristen Bell's Multibraided Hairstyle
Get Kristen Bell's Cute Multibraided Half-Do
Kristen Bell was all twisted and tied at the Do Something Awards this weekend. The starlet styled her hair in a series of braids for the red carpet, starting with a texturized half-up French braid that intertwined with three side-braids (one on the right, two on the left).
To re-create the look, start by French braiding the top of your hair until you reach the same level as the tops of your ears, at which point you should begin braiding normally. Tie off the ends and pull on the braid to fatten and texturize it. Next, take a small portion of hair from the right temple area and braid it towards the back of your head; tie it off and pin it under the initial braid. Repeat this step twice on the left side to finish. Mist with a hair spray, and you have a braided half-do with some serious style.

text: Could it be? Will Britney Spears take time out from fighting for her kids to perform the coveted opening number at the MTV Video Music Awards? E!Online's gossip guru, Marc Malkin, says that a liitle birdie told him that Brit may just be the show's kick-off performance. It wouldn't be a new gig for Britney (remember the Britney/Madonna/Christina Aguilera kiss? I know you do), but, if done right, it could certainly give Britney the credibility she needs to get back into the good graces of the music biz. A rep for MTV would not confirm or deny the Britney rumors, but just the thought makes me giddy. maybe she can use Sean and Jayden as backup dancers? That would be sooooo cute, y'all!

Freedom of Speech is the solution to bullying
The most basic of all freedoms is freedom of speech, the freedom most necessary for a healthy society. But even advocates of freedom of speech have been caving in to antibullyism because they can't think of a good argument against it. What can possibly be wrong with anti-bullying laws? If we are against these laws, doesn't that make us pro-bully? So we blindly support these laws, even those of us who should know better.
The great irony is that freedom of speech is actually the solution to most bullying. Our Founding Fathers were very wise people who studied philosophy and deliberated greatly over everything they put in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. They had excellent reasons for granting us freedom of speech.
Enumerating the benefits of freedom of speech is beyond the scope of this article. However, regarding bullying, freedom of speech is the Constitutional version of the 'sticks and stones' slogan. It means, 'It's only words. We don't get punished for words.' If you attack me with sticks and stones and I get hurt, you are the one who hurt me. If you insult me and I get upset, I upset myself. Should you get punished because I upset myself?
Most bullying is verbal, and even most physical aggression begins with anger over words. When we try to deny people the right to say offensive things to us, it makes them want to say those things even more vehemently. Hostilities escalate, we look like fools and the relationship goes quickly downhill. On the other hand, when we grant people freedom of speech, they quickly stop trying to offend us, we respect each other more and harmony ensues.
If you are not sure about this, please watch the following video clip: https://bullies2buddies.com/Media/video-the-idiot-game-victim-proof-your-school-part-2.html
Antibullyism outlaws humor
Ever since the Columbine shooting, I have been warning that anti-bullying laws will outlaw humor, because humor, by its very nature, is offensive. Saying nice things about people is not going to make anyone laugh. Unless, that is, the nice things are said sarcastically—they are meant as an insult.
As George Orwell said, "The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being but to remind him that he is already degraded."
The day prior to Independence Day, a story was disseminated in the news media about a high school that denied two students their diplomas because their graduation speech contained a couple of jokes. Thus, they could have violated New Jersey's tough anti-bullying law. http://www.wltx.com/news/watercooler/article/192741/363/NJ-Studen...
If you don't have a sense of humor, don't worry–these laws won't affect you.
Pro-freedom organizations are caving in to antibullyism
Thus, the New York Civil Liberties Union is eagerly supporting New York's draconian anti-bullying law, cleverly labeled as "The Dignity for All Act": http://www.nyclu.org/news/nyclu-dignity-coalition-applaud-state-s...
In actuality, The Dignity for All Act is Newspeak (ala Orwell) for 'Repeal of Freedom of Speech Act.'
The Freedom Forum is an organization that describes itself as "A nonpartisan, international foundation advocating free press and speech rights for all people." Under its auspices, Charles Haynes proudly informs us of a glorious achievement. In conjunction with representatives from a number of other groups, he has worked out limitations of freedom of speech in a manner he hopes will not violate anti-bullying laws: http://www.centredaily.com/2012/06/06/3219433/combat-bullying-whi...
Yes, anti-bullying laws still permit criticism, but we had better be awfully careful how we do it. To play it safe, we should just stick to compliments.
Increasing Electronic Surveillance
Nineteen Eighty-Four portrayed a world in which everyone is under constant video surveillance of the great governmental protector, Big Brother. Big Brother, of course, is not God. He is not even an angel or a saint. He is comprised of mortal human beings just like us, with all of our faults, prejudices and tendency to abuse power. That Orwellian world is no longer science fiction. All busy public places are now under constant video surveillance. Antiterrorism has permitted government to monitor our phones and computers as well and to scan our bodies and possessions at airports and government buildings.
Many of us have quietly accepted this loss of freedom as a worthwhile tradeoff for the safety of protecting our physical beings from terrorists (though the increased safety is debatable). Antibullyism is taking us one giant step forward: it is going to protect our feelings. In a development reported worldwide, a team of computer experts is currently developing a program that will monitor everything we say on the Internet so that we won't offend each other: http://www.news.com.au/national/program-may-thwart-bullies/story-fndo4cq1-1226417250497?from=public_rss
Yippee! Maybe I'll finally stop getting cyberbullied by anti-bullying advocates!
Movie Recommendation
Antibullying organizations have been perplexed by the apparent increase in bullying-related suicides despite years of intensive efforts to require school staff and students to monitor and report all acts of bullying. Why isn't the constant surveillance preventing suicides?
A seminar participant once recommended to me a fascinating, powerful award-winning German film, The Lives of Others, based on life in Communist East Germany–Nineteen Eight-Four personified. See if you can find a parallel between the suicides in the film and the bullying-related suicides we are experiencing today.
If you think you would be happy living in the safety of Soviet-style Communism, you should be thrilled with antibullyism.
Down with liberty! Long live Independence Day!

You can populate a collection object and return that object
You can serialize you database query result into a string that does not contain line breaks. More over, you can use a well-defined data format, such as JSON.
I don't believe that Oracle database returns a data to your server side app in a string representation. Inside your server program, you actually get some database object (possibly, JDBC, if it's Java). How do you turn this object into a string is up to you.

What does it take to legalize with a label my beer. Does anyone has try to go semi-commercial?
Creat and sell your own beer.
Thanks for replying best for 2013.
Crappy day, save it have a homemade beer.
Thank you,
Takes a lot more than labels.
A lot more.
I Secondary.
The answer to your question will differ greatly by location. In most US states, you can NOT sell your homebrew. Federally, and even at the state level, you MUST have a Manufacturer's License to brew beer you intend to sell. And even then, in many states, you can't be both the brewer and distributor. (Some states regulate brewpubs who sell by the glass ON PREMISES differently than "package manufacturers" who sell bottles that will be consumed off site)
I highly recommend you look up the laws in your locality.
Nothing Beats a Fool's Luck . . . and I am the Master Fool.
This might give you a little insight. Federal and state legislation will be your challenge...and if you need to secure a 3rd party distributor, your volume won't be enough to get their interest.http://allaboutbeer.com/live-beer/br...getting-legal/

Enid Burns | December 4, 2007 | Comments
In three years, ZenithOptimedia predicts, online ads will comprise 11.5 percent of the total global ad spend
An ad spend forecast released yesterday by ZenithOptimedia expects online ad spending to surpass magazine advertising in 2010. That's one of three major milestones for online advertising in the three-year forecast.
In 2008 online is expected to overtake radio advertising in terms of spending, a prediction included in an earlier forecast. The following year online advertising's share of the total global ad spend is expected to reach a double-digit share of 11.5 percent, and then 15 percent in 2010.
"Looking globally, the Internet still has a lot of room to grow," said Jonathan Barnard, head of publications at ZenithOptimedia. "Formats like Internet video are still quite unexploited." Barnard said one bottleneck for online advertising is available talent.
Globally, the degree of online ad spending can vary. Barnard said the online ad spend in China already equals 8 percent of the total spend, and expects it to reach 15 percent (about $3.7 billion) in 2010. While China may be considered aggressive in terms of Internet advertising, the top four markets in the category are Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the U.K. where online will likely exceed 20 percent of total spending in three years.
Recent ad spending reports warn of slower growth in both online and overall spending, though the ZenithOptimedia forecast expects to see an increase in inventory from Internet startups.
ZenithOptimedia, in the study, recognizes that some fear the new generation of dot-com companies will trigger a bubble, much like the one that hit earlier this decade.
This time, ZenithOptimedia said, it will play differently for the ad market. Last time around, companies spent their funding on advertising instead of building business. The new breed of start-ups have based their business models on selling advertising rather than buying it.
"Instead of raising money in order to advertise, they're raising money to capture Internet revenue," said Barnard.
"We don't yet know what ventures will work best, and what ventures will capture the attention of other people." An example, Barnard offered, "Nobody saw Google coming, nobody saw Facebook coming. The most successful ventures have been the ones to come up with a use for the Internet nobody's thought about before."

Questar Fueling will build, own and operate a compressed natural gas fueling facility in Houston, Texas, that will serve up to 200 natural gas-powered trucks operated by Swift Transportation and Central Freight Lines
January 4, 2013
Covanta Energy Corp. and Clean Energy Fuels Corp. announced an agreement to co-develop compressed natural gas stations at select Covanta facilities throughout the U.S.

January 2, 2013
From a frozen pizza company to neighborhood ice cream delivery, from a dry cleaner to a real estate business, these small fleets have been running natural gas-powered vehicles for years
December 28, 2012
The old saying goes, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Life, or in this case, a landfill, gave DeKalb County, Ga., methane gas - so the Sanitation Department decided to make vehicle fuel.
In 2009, DeKalb County, located just east of Atlanta, was experiencing the same economic frustrations and high fuel prices as the rest of the country
December 12, 2012
The engine products of the joint venture between Cummins Inc. and Westport Innovations now dominate the existing, albeit small, market for natural gas trucks, but more are on the way from other sources, indicated manufacturer representatives during the American Trucking Associations' recent Natural Gas Summit

Republic Services, a recycling and waste company that serves more than 200,000 households and 27,000 businesses in the St. Louis region, is investing nearly $25 million to enhance its fleet with 72 compressed natural gas collection vehicles.
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. released the second edition of "The Road to Natural Gas," an update of truck companies, refuse haulers, fleet operators, airports, municipalities and other organizations which are making the switch to natural gas with transportation fue
Announcements about new natural gas engines, bi-fuel engines and aftermarket conversion systems are coming faster and faster
One of the key roadblocks to wider adoption of natural gas fuel by the trucking industry has been a lack of fueling infrastructure. In the past, natural gas was mostly an option only for companies that could return to a central fueling station each night.
A growing number of fleets are testing or making large-scale deployments of natural gas powered vehicles. Here's a sampling, including a slide show of some of these fleets and others

I did a quick search and saw quite a few online plans...if you've bought one please let me know if the plans were easy to follow or not.
My grandfather used to make wooden wind driven whirligigs in the 50's but we do not have any of his.
My uncle found an old one (a man sawing) and fixed it up...now the kids want to build one.
I was thinking of a simple woodpecker design. (I remember my grandparents having one like that.)
My son was also thinking of making one from found items, not necessarily wood.
So...if you've made one...is it really difficult? Want to share photos?
Hmmmmmm. Not sure what you are referring to. Got a pic to share?
like this http://www.etsy.com/listing/97620746/1930s-folk-art-whirligig-bearded-man

I was thinking of something more simple for their first time building...Maybe like this::

I ate a Lean Pocket this afternoon and didn't burn all the skin off of the inside of my mouth. First time! 2. My daughter's Hokey Pokey Elmo has finally run out of batteries. 3. There are no more strange men traipsing in and out of my bathroom (construction gets ooooold after awhile). 4. That Jon and I have Tom Brady and the Patriots defense on our fantasy football team. 5. The existance of banana pudding. Or any pudding. Tapioca, chocolate, butterscotch - I give thanks for all of you, Pudding! 6. Sweet Dulcolax. 7. That my husband had the good sense to marry me. 8. My daughter's dancing skills and spot on Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men impression. 9. Real Housewives of Orange County - particularly Vicki who in my estimation is batshit crazy and the only reason to watch! 10. That the Lifetime Movie Network sees fit to run terrible docudramas 24/7! 11. Augusten Burroughs, Jack Handy, The Office, my husband, Cynthia Heimel, The Lazlo Letters and all things that make me laugh. 12. The possibility of my babies being home for Christmas.
