RT @meganamram: NEW DRINKING GAME: take a drink every time you want to take a drink 1541 days ago
October 9th, 2009
Much as the Coelacanth was thought to be extinct before a fisherman caught one off the coast of South Africa in 1938, word of portal site called Humid Beings has been whispered around campfires for several years; most thought it to be legend. But lo! It lives, brought to you by Blake Haney and the Canary Collective.
Jeff Crouere knows what black folk need, and he's not afraid to tell them what they need are more wingnuts, but — and here's the O. Henry twist — NEGRO wingnuts!
John "Squealer" Lombardi continues to make friends and influence nobody. I mean, it ain't like John "Snowball" Kennedy is a threat to anything, but he could push through that board consolidation, which would further erode Lombardi's BMOC satus, already hurt by accusations of producing book-learned mopes when wrench-totin men are needed, and being a bad sharer.
Mark Meaux points us to an MSNBD documentary about the death of Holly Beach.
NOLA police under investigation for crimes up to and including murder. These stories always mention who people "don't want to open old wounds", and how they want to "move on":
Many residents are skeptical of efforts to re-examine the actions of anyone who responded to the anarchy of the flood, much as they have been to the questioning of doctors who may have played a role in the deaths of at least 17 patients at Memorial Medical Center here.
The circumstances were traumatic, skeptics say, and the city faces too many grave problems — a crowded crime blotter, a lack of medical facilities, thousands of blighted houses — to focus on the first responders, especially those who stayed to help, in the days after the storm.
"I don't sense a lot of enthusiasm down here," Peter Scharf, a criminologist at Tulane University in New Orleans, said of the investigation into the Danziger Bridge shooting. "What's the endpoint of all this? Is this the best use of prosecutorial resources?"
Mr. Scharf pointed out that on a recent weekend, 13 people had been shot in a 12-hour period. While he supported investigations into corruption, he said there were legitimate doubts about scrutinizing "decision making in an extremely complex, chaotic environment."
In fact, that's exactly where decision-making should be scrutinized, because that's where a failure in the process is most dangerous.
Are conservatives even American any more?
And have liberal Democrats found their voice in the Honorable Mr. Grayson?
"Madame Speaker, I have words for Democrats and Republicans tonight."
"Let's start with the Democrats"
"We as a party have spent the last six months, the greatest minds in our party, dwelling on the question, the unbelievably consuming question of how to get Olympia Snowe to vote on health care reform. I want to remind us all that Olympia Snowe was not elected President last year. Olympia Snowe has no veto power in the Senate. Olympia Snowe represents a state with one half of one percent of America's population."
"What America wants is health care reform. America doesn't care if it gets 51 votes in the Senate or 60 votes in the Senate or 83 votes in the Senate, in fact America doesn't even care about that, it doesn't care about that at all. What America cares about is this; there are over 1 million Americans who go broke every single year trying to pay their health care bills. America cares a lot about that. America cares about the fact that there are 44,780 Americans who die every single year on account of not having health care, that's 122 every day. America sure cares a lot about that. America cares about the fact that if you have a pre-existing condition, even if you have health insurance, it's not covered. America cares about that a lot. America cares about the fact that you can get all the health care you need as long as you don't need any. America cares about that a lot. But America does not care about procedures, processes, personalities, America doesn't care about that at all."
"So we have to remember that as Democrats, we have to remember that what's at stake here is life and death, enormous amounts of money, and people are counting upon us to move ahead. America understands what's good for America. America cares about health care, America cares about jobs, America cares about education, about energy independance, America does not care about processes politicians or personalities or anything like that."
"And I have a few words for my Republican friends tonight as well. I guess I do have some Republican friends."
"Let me say this; last week I held up this report here and I pointed out that in America there are 44,789 Americans that die every year according to this Harvard report published in this peer reviewed journal because they have no health insurance. That's an extra 44,789 Americans who die who's lives could be saved, and their response was to ask me for an apology."
"To ask me for an apology?"
"That's right. To ask ME for an apology!"
"Well, I'm telling you this; I will not apologize. I will not apologize. I will not apologize for a simple reason; America doesn't care about your feelings. I violated no rules by pulling this report to America's attention, I think a lot of people didn't know about it beforehand. But America DOES care about health care in America."
"And if you're against it, then get out of the way. Just get out of the way. You can lead, you can follow or you can get out of the way. And I'm telling you now to get out of the way."
"America understands that there is one party in this country that is in favor of health care reform and one party that is against it, and they know why."
"They understand that if Barack Obama were somehow able to cure hunger in the world the Republicans would blame him for overpopulation"
"They understand that if Barack Obama could somehow bring about world peace they would blame him for destroying the defense industry."
"In fact, they understand that if Barack Obama has a BLT sandwich tommorrow for lunch, they will try to ban bacon."
"But that's not what America wants, America wants solutions to its problems and that begins with health care, and that's what I'm speaking for tonight."

Silas, E G (2010) Foreword. In: Identification of Marine Mammals. Jayasankar, P and Anoop, B,(eds.) Narendra Publishing House, Delhi, pp. 13-15.
This book blends traditional taxonomy with genetics, for species and gender identification and for forensic testing for preventing illegal trade in marine mammal products. Updating will be an ongoing process. The aim is also to bring people closer to marine mammals. This book should elicit interest to enhance our knowledge about the life habits of these remarkable creatures. It should also inspire those in authority to support protection, management and conservation of marine mammals and their diversity and appreciate the services they render to the natural bio-ecosystems.

Our life would have become difficult without this invention of this wonderful device as we may not be able to talk to our loved ones without this. Having a Cell phone has lot of advantages in it. One of the largest and most wide spread cell phone services is offered by the verizon wireless mobile service. It is one of the most famous mobile payers in the market who are present in the current marketing environment. The popularity of these services have become so popular that people have stated asking for mobiles that could play the ring tones of verizon and the verizon real ring tones. It is a great achievement for any mobile service provider. There are many people who are about to buy mobiles but can t find what are the mobiles that allow the usage of verizon ring tones in them so they feel very much confused. For this purpose only their are many websites which are created which specify what the mobile that would play verizon ring tones are. It also goes a step ahead and specifies the mobiles which would play a particular type of verizon ring tone and verizon real ring tone.
The old mobiles as well as the newer mobiles are able to play the verizon ring tones. Old mobile play the monophonic ring tones of verizon and the new models are able to play the .mp3 format verizon ring tones. There are many ways in which the verizon ring tones can be down loaded. One of the most common way to down load the verizon ring tones is to use the internet. There are many sites in the net which offer this service. But the best site to get the verizon ring tones is the verizon site itself.
One could also upload the verizon ring tones that he has in his mobile. These ring tones would be converted into a particular format and then would be allowed to be down loaded to be used in the mobile. There have been many complaints that the quality of these tones is very bad. It people say doesn't sound like verizon ring tones. There are many sites on the internet which act as the library for verizon ring tones. They have huge collection of the verizon ring tones. They allow the users to download the verizon ring tones and they are allowed free of cost. But the problem is that these sites don't guarantee whether the mobile would be able to pay the particular verizon ring tones. They don't assure on compatibility.

Sydney coach John Longmire is welcoming Saturday night's blockbuster AFL clash with bogey side Collingwood as the ideal pre-finals test.
The Swans are a game clear on top of the AFL ladder after extending their winning streak to nine with a 14.9 (93) to 10.11 (71) win over Carlton at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
The visitors were never seriously threatened after kicking four of the first five goals.
Hard-working midfielders Kieren Jack, Jarrad McVeigh, Josh Kennedy and Daniel Hannebery were all very impressive.
But the win came at a potentially heavy cost, 297-game veteran Jude Bolton subbed off with what might be a serious knee injury.
He will have scans on Monday.
While Sydney's form is excellent, they face a difficult run to the finals, including clashes with Hawthorn and Geelong.
But the ANZ Stadium encounter with the third-placed Magpies will be as significant as any.
Not only are Collingwood and second-placed Adelaide the two sides within a game of Sydney, but the Swans have lost their past 10 meetings with the Magpies, making the coming clash a great gauge of Sydney's improvement.
"It's an important game to be able to play a team that's played in grand finals previously and be able to play them at this time of the year and a team that's in really good form," Longmire told reporters.
"It's a good challenge for our group.
"We've come up short in the past, Collingwood have been just too good for us.
"Our challenge is to try and lift and see if we can improve enough to be able to catch those really good teams."
Blues coach Brett Ratten said the Swans were playing as well as any AFL club, particularly their defensive and one-on-one work.
"They like to be underrated, that's why they just carry that and hose everything down and do it very well," he said.
"They're as good as nearly anyone going.
"I think Hawthorn and them are the two (form) teams."
Ratten took some heart from the Blues fighting the game out and the comeback performance of key forward Jarrad Waite, who notched eight marks and three goals.
The Blues, who lost defender Michael Jamison (hamstring), are now two wins outside the top eight and hold only faint finals hopes.
"While we've still got a heartbeat we'll make sure we keep pushing on," Ratten said.

A Powerful Pink Sunrise From Framingham, MA
Please submit your sunrise and sunshine snapshots via email or leave the URLS of favorite instagrams in the comments.
December 21, 2013 - 4:11 am
From Caroline:
This is a sunrise in Framingham MA, taken on Dec. 10 2013. The color is not enhanced at all, but the photo was brightened a touch to bring out more details in the shadows. It was a truly amazing sight. My amateur snapshot does not do it justice. After that colorful beginning, the rest of the day was only shades of gray.

For those who haven't heard already (or didn't read the tiny hint I gave in my previous Soul Eater post), Soul Eater is set to air on two different days each week. On Mondays, the regular daytime version is released, and on Thursdays a "Late Night" (LN) version will be released. Although everyone kept calling it an "unedited" version (which has been pissing me off soooo bad), this is not the case. The LN version features additional content. Now you've all read what I thought about Soul Eater episode one (it's was awesome!), and I just finished watching the RAW of the LN version. So how do the two add up and what differences are there? As of right now, not many.
As I watched the episode I only found two major differences. One, there was a very breif clip where Shinigami said a few words and then it showed a close-up of Blair's well-endowed rack. Two, at the end of the episode there was a much longer preview that showed scenes from what I believe should be the next 2-4 episodes. Now, there could be differences in some of the dialogue, but as I've stated many times, I'm not fluent enough in Japanese to pick up the differences without paying very close attention.
So is the LN version anything to get super-excited about? Not really, but I have to admit, I did get kind of excited about that extended preview…nice shots of action from Black Star, Death the Kid, Maka, and several others. The LN version itself wasn't all I'd hoped it be, but it has managed to get me even more excited about the next episode…screw H2O, Soul Eater rocks your soul! (as for what version I'll be following…it'll be whatever the best sub group is following)
In other news, just thought I'd update our readers on what's going on around THAT behind the scenes:All series that have already aired are being picked up by there respective bloggers. This means that 90% of the coverage here is going to be sub-based. Just because To Love-Ru airs on Thursdays doesn't mean subs are out on Thursdays. Good news is, you don't have to listen to me and Impz so much anymore as Calawain, Crusader, Extrange, Shokkeru and all the writers here start chipping in.
There are only a few shows that have yet to premiere (or that don't have RAWs yet), those being: Kaiba, Junjou Romantica, Golgo 13, Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, and Nijuu Menzou Musume. I doubt we'll be covering Golgo 13 extensively, but the rest of those shows should have a decently sized entry committed to them.
Some shows have aired and we haven't written anything on them yet. For the most part this is because they were either horrible, or the first episodes just didn't catch us in a way that made us want to put in the extra effort to write about them on top of all the work we've been doing for the shows we are interested in. 30+ shows is a LOT. We are working on a "Spring 2008: Leftovers" post though, in which we we'll briefly touch on those series we have missed. Look for it sometime Saturday/Sunday.
Library Wars was the hawtness and there will be a post on it later tonight when Impzie wakes up. Go watch it and be ready to rant about it with us!
Thanks for reading and I want you all to be ready to post some massive feedback come Saturday. I'm planning on posting a small questionnaire to our readers about the new season, ideas you may have, things you want and don't want, etc…so start brainstorming (don't post here…wait until Saturday!!)!

'Show Trials' Author Advocates for Systemic Changes to Immigration Courts
By Lee Rawles

Woa. I'm posting a link to this on the AILA Washington Listserve. Good stuff!
By Tom Youngjohn on 2012 05 18, 8:17 pm CDT
When I was a law student I did immigration deportation trials under the suspervision of then INS attorneys. I handled an Eritrean (the country that broke off from Ehtiopia) female asylum case that was based on her political opinion. No big deal, pretty routine for the mid 1990s. In the middle of her testimony she started crying and shaking, then detailing how she was raped in the police station, really detailing what happended. The Judge asked me for closing argument, so I told the Judge it was never raised in her submitted I-589 application and that's all the ImmigJudge needed - her found her incredible and denied the asylum application. Unfortunately, the Immigration system is "adversary" when it really should be investigative. I still feel yicky about that case.
By NotSoStellar LegalMoments on 2012 05 18, 8:55 pm CDT
This is because you have a God given (or evolution given, whatever) conscience.
Be at peace, grasshopper.
Now that judge, well, that judge can just go fantasize about,
whatever Immigration Judge's fantasize about.

Areas of the towns of Brandon, Dickinson, Bangor and Moira currently without broadband Internet service could get added to the network this summer, according to Slic Network Solutions' plans.
The company, which just celebrated its first year of offering television service, plans to finish running fiber-optic cable to some of the unserved pockets in those communities, according to Slic sales engineer Jeff Yette.
The plans to finish some smaller extensions of the fiber-optic line in Franklin County are part of an overall plan to complete expansion in Bellmont and Clinton County's Lyon Mountain, Mr. Yette said.
The Bellmont and Lyon Mountain expansion is part of a group of five separate projects funded by a $6.1 million NYS Connect program grant. These projects are slated to bring 165 miles of fiber-optic cable to the north country.
These projects will pass 2,500 houses and more than 100 businesses in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Hamilton counties. The new service areas include Lyon Mountain in the town of Dannemora, North Hudson in the town of North Hudson, Schroon Lake in the town of Schroon, Long Lake in the town of Long Lake and Brainardsville in the town of Bellmont, according to previous reports.
Mr. Yette said Slic's service expansions have been financed through state and federal grants. The company is looking into additional grants to continue its expansion and is applying for grants for projects in Franklin County.
Mr. Yette said the grants being used for this summer's projects are grants the company applied for in 2011.
When the grant money is given out among broadband companies, it is given to the areas where it will affect the largest number of homes. Mr. Yette said if two areas need similar dollar amounts to provide the service, the funding will go to the area where the installation will service a greater number of homes and get as many people on broadband as possible.
Slic still has some funding available to provide free installation and hook-ups for customers in new service areas.
Throughout this past year, Slic completed more than 1,000 miles of fiber-optic cable installation in Franklin and St. Lawrence counties, according to previous reports. The projects were funded largely by grants and loans from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009; the funds totaled more than $33 million. The expansion allowed 1,000 previously unserved north country residents to access high-speed Internet service, bringing Slic's total customer count to more than 3,600.
Mr. Yette said the past year was the company's first time offering video services through their myEVTV network. The company has been in the phone business for more than 110 years, in partnership with Nicholville Telephone, and Internet service has been provided by the company since the late 1980s or early 1990s.
Mr. Yette said the idea of providing TV was brand new. The company had to build a satellite dish farm and obtain video equipment.
Mr. Yette said Slic is planning to add pay-per-view and is looking into TV Everywhere.

Comments on The Lane's Gifts v. Google Report by Alexander Tuzhilin
As part of the Lane's Gifts settlement, the Circuit Court of Miller County, Arkansas ordered an independent review of Google's click fraud detection system to determine if they were reasonable. The review was conducted by Professor Alexander Tuzhilin of NYU. Tuzhilin's 47 page report, The Lane's Gifts v. Google Report, came out last month.
The punchline: Tuzhilin, after being given "insider" access to Google people, practices, and report, found Google's efforts to detect and combat clickfraud to be "reasonable."
Beyond this punchline, there are many other interesting tidbits in the report:
- Even if the efforts are "reasonable", Tuzhilin indicates there's no direct scientific evidence that those efforts work well:
It is hard for me to arrive at any definitive conclusions beyond any reasonable doubt based on Points 1 through 6 above [ 1 to 6 refer to six pieces of indirect evidence]; that Google's invalid click detection methods "work well" and remove "most" of the invalid clicks — the provided evidence is simply not hard enough for me, and I am used to dealing with much more conclusive evidence in my scientific work.
- Tuzhilin believes Google waited too long (until winter 2005), to fix the "double click" issue, and as a result enjoyed significant economic benefit from this delay at the cost of advertisers. (p. 30)
- (p.16) Tuzhilin makes the excellent point that clickfraud itself isn't clearly defined. While outright automated fraud robots are clearly invalid, many more human clicks fall into a gray zone. What if a human clicks with no intent to purchase, is that valid? Tuzhilin writes
…In some cases [ beyond clear fraud ] the true intent of a click can be identified only after examining deep psychological processes, subtle nuances of human behavior, and other considerations in the mind of the clicking person … It is simply impossible to identify true clicking intent for certain types of clicking behavior, and therefore, [ impossible to ] classify these clicks as valid or invalid. (p. 16)
- Because of of this,
Given a particular click in a log file, it is impossible to say with certainty if this click is valid or not in all the cases. (p.18)
- Most of the Google fraud filters are surprisingly simple, and haven't evolved much over time. Newer filters have done little to improve the system. (p. 28, p. 32)
- (p.14) Tuzhilin points out none of the three types of parties with data relevant to click-fraud — Google, advertisers, and vendors — have sufficiently comprehensive data for detecting fraudulent clicks. True. Tuzhilin does not discuss that even if Google had full conversion data from all advertisers, they'd still have an incomplete dataset for clickfraud analysis, as one would assume any sophisticated fraudster would conduct fraud across the all the engines. Google can't see what is happening on Yahoo, MSN, etc.
- The phrase "massive clickfraud" appears several times in the report, usually right next to a sentence indicating that if Google disclosed the detail of its fraud detection methods, unethical users would exploit that knowledge (p. 21 and elsewhere) I wonder if this choice of words, "massive clickfraud", originated with Tuzhilin or with Google. The phrase brings to mind a dam about to burst. The thought that a speck of knowledge could unleash massive fraud is disturbing … online security experts state that security through obscurity doesn't work.
- Tuzhilin makes a "long-tail" argument that most fraud today is probably simple fraud, so simple filters can catch most of it (p. 29). Speaking with no data, my hunch is that I disagree. I'd suspect the most advanced fraudsters — those doing the most damage to the PPC system — use very sophisticated to distribute the bogus clicks broadly across IPs, time, and phrases.
- Tuzhilin does point out that Adsense is more prone to fraud than core Adwords, a topic we've written and spoken about multiple times. Hurrah. Many of our clients avoid Adsense altogether, finding the performance simply isn't there, be it due to targeting, fraud, or a combination of other factors.
After reading this report, I have a better appreciation of Google's fraud detection methods.
I come away feeling that fraud on the non-Adsense network is likely small, and agree with Tuzhilin that Google is making "reasonable efforts" to fight PPC click fraud.
And I agree with Eric Schmidt's (often misquoted) comment about the self-correcting nature of clickfraud, the truest test of click quality rests in the advertiser's conversion data.
If the clicks sell enought to justify their cost, the channel still works.
Very interesting report — worth downloading and reading.

So far, all menopause women think that only hormones can reduce hot flashes effectively. The good news is that cool herbs can cool down hot flashes not only effectively but also safely.
Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) July 21, 2008 -- The hot summer temperature is making hot flashes even worse. Menopause experts are endlessly debating merits of synthetic or bio-identical hormones. Too much complicated information overwhelms menopause women. Some are wise and some otherwise. As volcanic hot flashes come every day, poor menopause women are on the horns of hormonal dilemma. So what else works?
Surprisingly, Mary found her way to escape her hot flashes safely and effectively. She used a Chinese herbal formula Menopause BalanZ for 1 month and her hot flashes were reduced by 90%. Mary, from Ann Arbor, Michigan, is a 54 year-old Caucasian woman. She wrote: "I have been in peri menopause for 11 months. I was suffering with hot flashes day and night. I experienced as many as 10 per day. The first 5 days of taking these herbs I thought the hot flashes worsened. They seemed hotter and longer. From 5 to 7 days they began to improve with less frequency, intensity and duration. From 7 to 10 days I steadily improved. After 30 days, I have noticed that I have only 1 or 2 a day. There is a minor amount of warmth to them for a very short time. I have not noticed negative effects. I have been taking 6 pills morning and night."
Is this success by chance or by choice?
In fact, Menopause BalanZ has been on market in China for 27 years as an over-the-counter herbal menopause remedy. It is an official herbal formula listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The efficacy and safety have been proven by clinical trials and animal studies. What is new now is that the quality control is enhanced: authentic herbs are guaranteed by DNA barcodes.
Menopause BalanZ is based on the time-tested herbal f

The More Law, the More...? Measuring Legal Reform in the People's Republic of China
SCID Working Paper 59
This paper starts by evaluating the state-led legal development in China during the reform period, focusing on the building of a body of substantive laws, legal institutions, processes, and the clarification of roles for institutional actors. It proceeds to examine the relationship between legal development and economic growth. In particular, it questions the notion that more formal legal institutions, rules and trained personnel are synonymous with the greater respect for the rule of law that seems to be necessary for economic growth. The complexity of the Chinese situation are under-appreciated by many observers who underestimate the difficulties of improving legal measures that are "best practices" and work well in Western countries in a "top-down" manner in China. Any analysis of the impact of the law on Chinese economic development must consider the extent to which laws can perform well only when they are societally generated. Moreover, China's situation is complicated further by the Communist Party's exemption of itself from formal and informal legal constraints. At a theoretical level, this paper calls for broadening the inquiry as to why law matters to the economy, beyond simple devotion to the rule of law. In this context, a priority for research is to examine the interplay between formal rules and informal norms, and to assess their interaction within the Chinese society.

PAWTUCKET – The topic was Ryan Lavarnway and the most prolific home run hitters to ever to suit up for the Pawtucket Red Sox. After all, when you've amassed 13 round trippers in 43 games – Lavarnway's mashing rate heading into Monday's action – you start flashing back to names like Jim Rice, Sam Horn, Phil Plantier and Izzy Alcantara and the baseballs they made vanish.
PAWTUCKET — The Connie Mack Baseball League has always taken a back seat to American Legion baseball during the summer months. And that's too bad because there are some good players performing in relative anonymity inside the 12-team Rhode Island organization.
Elmwood Sports, which features players from Pawtucket and Central Falls, showed off some of its talent during a 2-0 victory over West Warwick in a first-round playoff game on Monday evening at McConnon Field. Bryan Quinlan knocked in both runs to back Andrew Larson's shutout pitching.
CENTRAL FALLS — Calling it a move that will "allow Central Falls to re-invent itself as a viable community," Receiver Robert Flanders announced Monday that the city has petitioned for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection.

Almost break...turkey and studying!!!
So far I've officially "survived" Berkeley, and loved it at the same time. It is the #1 public school in the nation; would you expect any less of the workload? I definitely feel like I choose the right school for me. Even when I'm up late at night studying there is a piece of me that feels like I enjoy it because I know that it will only better me for my after college career path. I'm really glad I came into Berkeley with time management skills otherwise I'd feel lost like some other students do. As the weeks pass I feel more comfortable here and begin to see more familiar faces around campus.
I've met some amazing students and friends in my classes, who have been really supportive. I recently lost a friend a few weeks ago, and having the support of other students has been why I was able to pull through last week. I'm really looking forward to thanksgiving so I can eat turkey and get ahead on my reading because most of my finals are the first week of December. My recommendation to people in the same place as me is to get as much as you can done now before your study guides are handed out. For example I'm doing my weekly reviews two weeks ahead of time to reduce my stress finals week. Also RSF has amazing yoga classes to help with stress too!

UN chief slams deadly car bomb attacks in northern Lebanon
UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) — UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Friday termed the two car bomb attacks in northern Lebanon as "cowardly acts of violence," voicing his hope that those responsible for the deadly explosion "will be brought to justice as soon as possible."
Ban strongly condemned the attacks targeting two Mosques in the north Lebanese city of Tripoli, which left dozens killed and hundreds of others injured shortly after Friday prayers, said a statement issued here by Ban's spokesman.
Ban "extends his condolences to the families of those killed and to the Government of Lebanon, and his sympathies to all those injured," the statement said.
At least 27 people were killed and 358 others injured in the deadly attacks, the country's caretaker Health Minister Ali Hassan Khalil told reporters.

This example will show how to use the On Balance Volume indicator by drawing and applying analysis of trend lines. Trend lines make it easier to follow trends as they show levels of support and resistance that can be useful in examining the pace of the trend. Trend lines are one of easiest tools to use for technical analysis. This example shows how to use trend lines with On Balance Volume to make it act as a leading indicator. The buy and sell signals given on the On Balance Volume panel can come sooner than the signals from similar trendlines established on the price chart. Let us begin.
The strategy is one in which trendlines will provide buy and sell signals. Because many traders will use price trendlines to generate buy and sell signals, we will use OBV trendline crosses as our starting point in a buy and sell analysis. We will look for OBV trendline crosses followed by price trendline crosses, therefore hopefully beating other traders to the punch. If a price trendline is crossed before the OBV trendline then an assessment of the OBV indicator will be necessary to see if one should act on the price trendline signal.ShareThis

How to Get the Most Antioxidant Bang Out of Your Veggie Buck, written and illustrated by Janice Taylor, Life & Wellness Coach, author and 50-pound big-time-loser.
While many people are true believers in the power of the raw food, mind-twisting news from researchers in Italy, one of the top culinary capitals of the world, encourages us to boil, steam and even fry our veggies (although, truly, I don't know if I can go there, however heavy in antioxidants).
The study, which was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, compared these various cooking methods on zucchini, carrots and broccoli and found that cooking increased certain antioxidants that are crucial to fighting disease.
So, put on your chef's hat and funky apron, get out your steamers and sauté pans, and get ready to cook up some carrots, zucchini and broccoli!
For best antioxidant boost: Boil or Steam
Resulting in a 31 percent increase in gluocosinolates, which prevents certain types of cancer, as well as a 32 percent increase in carotenoids, which boosts Vitamin A production.
Blessed Broccoli (from the book, Our Lady of Weight Loss: Miraculous and Motivational Musings from the Patron Saint of Permanent Fat Removal)
Lemon herb pepper
1/4 cup white wine vinegar (try white wine fig, my latest obsession)
2 tablespoons fresh thyme
fresh ground pepper to taste
Steam broccoli.
Toss all ingredients together.
For best antioxidant boost: Fry or Steam
Resulting in a 61 percent increase in caffeic acid, which fights certain cancers and cardiovascular disease.
Spiritual Carrot Stir Fry
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium carrots, cut into strips
1 large Vidalia onion, chopped
1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
soy sauce, low-sodium
In large skillet or wok, heat oil. Stir fry vegetables until tender, yet crisp; approximately 6 minutes. Add ginger and soy sauce to taste.
For best antioxidant boost: Boil or Steam
Resulting in a 20 percent increase in beta-carotein (a carotenoid), resulting in Vitamin A production.
Zealous Zucchini
2 medium zucchinis
6 whole gloves of garlic (or more; as many as you like … if you love garlic, go for it!)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Trim ends from zucchini; cut each zucchini into long 1/8″ to 1/4″ inch strips; as skinny as you can.
Place zucchini and whole cloves of garlic in steam basket.
Place steam in pot.
Steam until zucchini is semi-soft.
Put zucchini in a bowl.
Mash the garlic.
Place in bowl with zucchini.
Drizzle with a tablespoon or two of olive oil.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the word, NOT the icing!

Your better half is committed to eating healthy in the New Year, and you're behind 'em one hundred percent.
Or are you?
New research has found that when it comes to nutrition habits, we are who we're hitched to.
Which means that, despite your nagging about his dangerous three-bag-a-day Cheeto addiction/her habitual midnight Taquito fests, you could actually be the culprit.
The Marriage Diet
A diet study published in November offered an inside look at this phenomenon. The research team, led by UC Berkeley's Mark Pachuki, tracked the eating patterns of some 3,400 people—groups of spouses, friends, brothers and sisters—over a 10 year period.
As the decade stretched on, they watched in awe (or neutral scientific observation) as the husbands and wives of the study began eating more and more and more alike.
Spouses, they concluded, have a much stronger impact on a person's food choices than friends, coworkers and other family.
Well, that's not surprising: you grocery shop and cook together, you dine out together. Having rivaling food preferences doesn't really work in a relationship.
But there's more to it, I imagine. Not only do our brains naturally, subconsciously, imitate the things around us, but there is a singular tendency to mirror the objects of our affection.
That explains how even one's most stubborn healthy habits can fade, as couples gently add pounds together over the years.
It also explains how Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux can unwittingly step out in matching outfits.
So Who Started It?
Um, good luck nailing down who baked the first butter-crumb-encrusted macaroni and cheese, or programmed the Pizza Hut number on speed dial.
The findings of the Couple's Diet study present an opportunity. Not to justify food faults or point fingers, but to make a joint change.
If you are hoping your spouse will join you in discovering the merits of slow food and Whole Foods in 2012, you won't need artful persuasion tactics or a stronghold on the shopping list. You won't even need to—thank goodness—'accidentally' trip them on their way to calling Pizza Hut.
To get your spouse's full healthy-eating support (as in, conscious and unconscious—cha-ching!), all you have to do is go first.
Consistency is key to make this change long-term and at times your spouse may sabotage your new found habits. Learning to deal with Sabotage may make all the difference.

A TIGER IN A CAGE? General Purpose computations on Graphical Processor Units (GP-GPUs) posses an extreme computational power—at least potentially. But often a GP-GPU-programmer will end up in an endless, unproductive optimization phase.
Now, for the first time, you will have the opportunity to do a real profiling of GP-GPU code. Not through special hardware registers or other non-intuitive mechanisms. But in a novel non-intrusive way, meaning that you do not have to pre- or re-program you code, but merely run it through 'lab4241's GP-GPU performance analyze pipeline.
Currently 'lab4241' presents beta-stage GP-GPU profiling, meaning that only a limited set of the nVidia GP-GPU software stack is available— see the requirements section for details.
GPU PROFILING AT A GLANCE: a demo profile dump from the matrix multiplication example.
Here is a screenshot of how the GPU profiler is able to analyze the memory usage, in terms of number of reads and writes to all memory types (global, shared, etc.) for the specific test case of shared-memory optimized matrix multiplication, C=A*B, A and B being square matrices of a modest size of N=32:
[click to enlarge]
The profiler can also plot the temporal access pattern to all GPU memory types, here again plotted for the shared-memory matrix multiplication demo case:
[click to enlarge]
A trace of calls to the CUDA kernel driver for the case would look like:
[click to enlarge]
showing, as expected, that a 32*32 matrix multiplication takes up very little GPU kernel time, a little more than 20 µsec, compared to other functions. A full demonstration for the matrix multiplication can be found in the demo section.

To Split or Not to Split, That is the Question
The consensus in CDO is that splitting during the first-year summer may not be a good idea, but splitting during the second-year summer may make sense.
First-Year Summer
For most 1Ls, their first-year summer job will be their first legal experience. It may take some time to become acclimated to the work environment, to the process of conducting research, and to dealing with fellow attorneys and support staff. Additionally, the importance of securing good references and a writing sample can be particularly important during this time because of the potential need for them when applying for second-year summer jobs.
Second-Year Summer
By the time their second-year summer rolls around, most 2Ls will already have had some experience working for a legal employer. This experience, coupled with an additional year of school, usually provides a level of confidence that will enable a student to hit the ground running during the summer. As a result, second-year students may find splitting their summer to be a wise choice if they feel the need to explore several workplaces.
To get a sense of which firms enabled students to split their summers, look at the YLS Student Employment Lists which will indicate if a student reported working for more than one employer during the summer.
Potential Pros
» Opportunity to explore two different jobs. This is especially helpful for students who are trying to decide between a public interest or private sector position or are set on pursuing public interest but wish to spend part of a summer exploring a private sector position.
» Ability to expand your network of contacts. Working with different employers increases your chances of meeting people with similar career interests who can serve as mentors and contacts in your future job searches.
» Greater likelihood of working on a variety of different types of legal projects. While each project may not be very in depth, you will be able to explore a number of legal issues during the summer.
» When working for one employer for the entire summer, a few students have been known to get a little lazy towards the end of the summer and not perform as well as they did in the beginning of the summer. By limiting the number of weeks you are with one employer, you may avoid that problem.
» Opportunity to investigate more than one city.
Potential Cons
» Insufficient time to thoroughly explore the position. It takes time to really see what the attorneys at an organization do, what the culture of the place is, and what it would be like to work there on a daily basis. Six or so weeks may not provide you with sufficient time to take in all this information.
» Potential for employer to underestimate your commitment to their organization. By working for two employers, you may create an impression that you are not committed to either one.
» Inability to secure a strong reference. Your opportunity to work on a significant project with an attorney who will get to know you and your work product sufficiently to serve as a strong reference may be lessened. It may be more difficult to develop strong mentor relationships as well.
» Failure to create a strong writing sample. A good writing sample requires attention on your part and on the part of an attorney willing to assist you in revising your work product. This may not happen in 6 to 8 weeks.
» Less time to rehabilitate in the event of a misjudgment/mistake. Everyone makes mistakes when starting new jobs. However, when you only have the opportunity to work on a handful of projects with a limited number of attorneys, your error may take on greater significance.
» Logistical issues associated with moving to a new city and finding new living arrangements.
» Logistical issues associated with the potential desire to be available to participate in FIP in late August.
Deciding Where to Go First
Many employers will require that you spend the first half of the summer with them because there is a perception that students do better work during the first half of the summer and are more likely to accept an offer. Employers provide orientation programs for students arriving at the beginning of the summer. You may wish to work for the employer in which you have a greater long term interest during the first half of the summer.
Summer Program End Dates
When interviewing with employers, inquire about the length of their summer programs. Some employers have surprisingly early end dates, as early as mid-July. You are not going to be able to spend the second half of the summer working for an employer with an early program end date.
Conflicts of Interest
If you will be working for more than one employer in the summer, be sure that both employers are aware of your employment plans. It is likely that you will be asked to participate in a conflicts check to determine whether the potential for a client conflict exists. It is important that you do not reveal any confidential information. If you have any questions when participating in the conflicts check, consult with your employers.
Split Public Interest Summer Opportunities
When considering whether to split, don't forget to consider applying to firms who offer split public interest summer opportunities. Through these programs, you can receive the law firm's salary while exploring public interest work for part of the summer. See CDO's handout Firms Sponsoring Split Public Interest Summers.

The World's Most Trusted Provider of Social Data
We know that social media analytics are only as reliable as the social data they analyze, Gnip is built for companies who can't afford to miss a single activity. Our engineering team is focused every day on flawless delivery of high-volume social data. We offer multiple layers of redundancy to ensure you never miss a Tweet, Check-In, Comment or Post.
Backfill automatically protects you from data loss caused by brief disconnects from your realtime connection. Had a network disruption? Need to switch to a new production server? Not a problem. We track the activities we're sending you in realtime and if you reconnect within 5 minutes, your stream picks up right where it left off. No need for you to do anything. Backfill is available on all sources with full firehose access.
With Replay, you can quickly recover any data you missed due to a longer disconnect from your realtime stream. Had a data center outage? Need to upgrade your data ingest system without losing data?

Psychiatrist Offers Tips To Combat Winter Blues
CBS Chicago (con't)
Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSChicago.com/ACA
Health News & Information: CBSChicago.com/Health
(CBS) — How many times have you heard people say they are so over this weather?
It's certainly taking a toll on all of us. As CBS 2's Dorothy Tucker reports, there are strategies in dealing with the deep freeze.
A perfect solution to a cold gray day: Garfield Park Conservatory.
There have been more than 50 days of snow and more than 35 straight hours of subzero temperatures.
According to psychiatrist Robert Shulman, we got it early and we're suffering more than in years past.
"You hear the complaints. 'Doctor, I'm tired. I'm fatigued.' You don't want to go to work. Just want to maybe consume some carbohydrates and curl up," he says.
Shulman says the quickest way to get energized is through carbohydrates.
"It's not healthiest but it's the quickest," he says.
Drinking plenty of fluids is a better way to cope with winter blues. Exercise is another.
The perfect refreshment is a getaway. But if you can't afford a costly trip to Florida, you can find 75 degrees at places like the Garfield Conservatory.

The best thing about living in East London, is that you can be wondering home, and literally stumble into an intriguing little pop up world, in this case, a shop set up by artist Keggie Carew, called "The World The Way I Want It"
There were lots of things to look at in there, but one of the things that really caught my eye, was the jewellery collection made from dead insects. Not something that I would personally ever be able to wear, but they did make me think of my friend Summer Rayne Oakes, who is an insect enthusiast. I had a quick conversation with the artist about them, I was trying to find out more about where she finds the insects and why she uses them, she wasn't very forthcoming in her replies, but it made me think that she was making a statement about the how some insects are dying at alarming rates such as the bees, and about how we should re-use everything that mother nature gives us.
It got me thinking especially about British Bees, which if you don't know are seriously in danger now. Sam Roddick has been campaigning to save the Bees, and perfectly explains why on Eco Age's Blog;
"Mankind has been deeply connected to bees since we could record history – in france the first documentation of honey hunting are painted on caves dating back 6000 years ago. Bees have penetrated our religion, our politics, our art, and our literature- from Aristotle to Da Vinci to Einstein- all our great thinkers have been passionate about the bees and what they as little creatures offer us. Symbolically they represent civil society, purity in behaviour and the ultimate servants for the good of the whole community. All religions have revered the bees. Beyond that Britain was known as the land of milk and honey – our original name meant the Isle of Honey. One of the earliest alcoholic drinks- mead- was made with honey- even appearing in Beowulf. The british bee is really more of a national symbol than Big Ben.
But the precious bees are disappearing at an alarming rate. Known as colony collapse disorder (CCD), the disappearance of the bees is a global and national crisis. There are mounting fears around the world that the growing use of "neonicotinoid" pesticides, which work by poisoning the nervous system of insects, could explain why bees and other pollinating insects are in such dramatic decline in Britain, Europe and the United States, where the insecticide is widely used.
But while it is a global issue, it needs to be tackled nationally. Within England, the bee is vanishing at a far larger rate than any other country in Europe- the British honey bee population has dropped by thirty percent in recent years. Six of 25 bee species have declined in UK by at least 80% in last 50 years while 3 British bumblebee species are already extinct.
Many scientists and experts have stated with out bees there is a huge chance we can not ecologically survive- one in three mouthfuls of food depends on bee pollination. The United Nations (UN) recent report on bees states that of the 100 crop species that provide 90 per cent of the world's food, over 70 are pollinated by bees- what's more, the bees contributes some £26bn to the global economy.
We are not going to survive without the bees – we depend on their little busy buzzy life to pollinate our food- but the bees, as well as many other little crawly creatures and pollinators that are in decline are part of a larger food chain- the birds need them to survive too. Can we imagine a world without bees, butterflies and birds and flowers? Or fruit, cotton, or coffee?
The bees are vanishing because we are being naughty, blind and a little bit too greedy – the reality is if we look after them we can have our honey cake and can eat it too. "
Bees are a vital part of our eco-system, and we need to make sure that we do all we can to protect them. You can find out how to help from the Help Save Bees website. Here is their list of 10 things that you can do:
As Sam says "Caring for the bees is about caring for ourselves… They are the symbol of all life- but they have much to teach us- about humility, community, loyalty, selflessness, cooperation and passion. They are nature's genius."

In May, the company kick-started its retail push by announcing it would start selling its computers through Wal-Mart. Today, the company sells PCs in about 3,000 Wal-Mart stores and 1,400 Staples stores. Dell also signed contracts with retailers around the globe including China's Gome stores, Japan's Bic Camera, and Europe's Carrefour Group and Carphone Warehouse.
Although Dell's Best Buy move is a major step forward for the company to carve out a space in retail, the timing for the deal was just a little off, as its products won�t hit store shelves until after Christmas.
