As Apple shareholders mourn the passing of Steve Jobs, they are forced to ask themselves a tough question: Will the passing of the company's iconic founder and driving creative force mark the top in its shares?
Investors have had plenty of time to evaluate Apple without Jobs at the official helm and his successor Tim Cook.
After all, two medical leaves by the founder in the last two years did not stop the company from briefly surpassing Exxon Mobil to become the most valuable company in the world this year.
But the timing of Jobs' death comes at a time when the shares are off more than 10 percent from that all-time high amid what many investors deemed to be a disappointing release on Tuesday of the latest version of the core piece of its product halo: the iPhone.
"It is sad and it seems hard to believe that the stock will not be under pressure," said JJ Kinahan, chief options strategist at TD Ameritrade . "Mr. Cook had a major disappointment in his first major announcement, but there was some comfort in knowing that Jobs was in the background. Not only was Jobs a master of the press he was the greatest quality control and brand manager of all time and that element will be perceived to be missing."
The Jobs track record speaks for itself. When he returned to the company in 1997, the stock price was under $6 and the market value below $2 billion.
But after his technological revolution—beginning mostly with the iPod and iTunes and ending with the iPad—now the shares are worth more than $370 and the market value above $350 billion (now second-biggest to Exxon).
"Cook will not have the same latitude with missed execution than Jobs received from investors," said Dan Nathan an options and equity trader who runs the web site . "The next five years for Apple are much going to be far more challenging for the stock and the company than the last five years. The likelihood of them being able to replicate the performance on the product front and thus in the stock is not great as the smart phone and tablet markets mature and become commoditized like PCs."
Last year, Apple held 28 percent of the smart phone market, second only to a rapidly deteriorating Research In Motion at 30 percent and followed closely by fast-growing phones running Google's Android system with 24 percent market share, according to eMarketer.com.
Phones running Android will surpass Apple and Blackberry this year, holding 37 percent of the market, estimates the research firm. Apple will hold 29 percent of the market and Blackberry a paltry 20 percent.
"It was very likely Apple would have seen its core products (mobile computing) overtaken by the Android onslaught in the medium term regardless of Steve Jobs health, and/or passing," said Reggie Middleton, editor of BoomBustBlog.com. "Unfortunately, the Android momentum is building up to a head a the same time Jobs has passed and the mantle has been passed to Cook, and it is inevitable that Cook will catch the fallout."
To be sure, the drop in Apple's stock Tuesday as the new CEO unveiled the iPhone 4S was not unusual, even when Jobs took the stage. Apple finished June 2010 lower even after the unveiling of iPhone 4 that month. Of course, part of that was due to the fact that expectations for Jobs' trademark presentations had become so high investors bid up the shares well before in anticipation of what had become an annual ritual for each June.
While acknowledging the pace of growth under Jobs will be hard, if not impossible to match (iPad was the fastest-selling electronic device ever), many investors are willing to give Cook plenty of time to gain his footing with future product releases. Many said they would be looking to buy on any weakness this week as a result of the founder's death.
"Steven jobs can't be replaced and we can't expect Apple to have a 100 percent success rate, but we can assume that a brilliant visionary would put in place a capable team to continue at Apple," said Jim Iuorio, a trader with TJM Institutional services. "People can be confident in owning Apple shares for a long term investment as it remains reflective of its creator in imagination, ingenuity and the ability to stay a step ahead of the pack."
As evidenced by the outpouring of admiration on Thursday, Jobs was probably the most loved chief executive in corporate America. On Wall Street, the numbers show the stock was definitely the most-loved by analysts. At last count, the shares had 48 'buy' ratings, three 'hold' calls and just one sell.
To many investors, this is another contrarian signal that Apple's future growth prospects—now without Jobs as Chairman—are more than priced into the stock.
It reminds them of Cisco during the Internet bubble when the market value of the router-maker topped $550 billion and some even predicted it would become the first $1 trillion company. Cisco shares have lost three-fourths of their value since March 2000 as new competitors entered the router market, killing margins.
"Just as the world will never be the same as it was with Steve in it, the company and stock will not soon or ever regain it's standing as the miracle machine of the last decade," said Josh Brown, money manager and creator of The Reformed Broker blog. "Expectations will have to adjust—just as we will have to accept the passing of a giant."

Ex-FBI agent describes raid to save boy from bunker
Dehumanizing behavior toward hostage may have spiked sense of danger
A retired FBI agent said that authorities likely moved in to rescue a 5-year-old boy held captive in an underground bunker in Alabama out of a growing sense of danger.
"It's a very tough situation," said former agent Jeff Lanza.
He said the scenario that started last week when James Lee Dykes took the boy into the underground bunker would have been precarious. He said negotiators should be patient, but not too patient. Agents believed Dykes had a gun and was agitated.
Lanza said negotiators likely spotted behavior in Dykes that was demeaning and dehumanizing to 5-year-old Ethan.
"Usually, normal people, they have to objectify somebody, dehumanize them before they put their hands on them," Lanza said. "When you see that kind of behavior in words, verbally and non-verbally, usually the next stop is violence."
Lanza said the speed of the FBI's hostage rescue team was no surprise. He said the team had likely been on-site within hours after the standoff started and members had been practicing for days.
Negotiators convinced Dykes to approach the bunker door to accept delivery of an item. Once he did, the agents set off an explosive device. Dykes and the agents exchanged gunfire, and agents killed Dykes and rescued Ethan.
Lanza said Ethan's age was probably not a factor in the decision.
"Once you sense that the hostage is in danger, you go in," he said. "It doesn't matter if they're 90 or nine or five going on six. You just go in."

AMM Comment,
John Ambrosia
With the fourth quarter fast approaching and the presidential election looming ever closer, the view of where metal markets are heading seems no clearer than it was six months or even a year ago.
Although many in the metals sector remain upbeat in general, on specific points there is still concern: When will the construction sector pick up? What is the overall future of shale gas development? Where are taxes and regulations going?
AMM conducted a survey in the spring on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers among global steel and aluminum executives, a repeat of those in April last year and again in October. We take a look at the meaning of the survey numbers starting on page 14, but here are a few quick conclusions:
Executives are getting glummer. In April 2011, 94 percent of executives were very or somewhat optimistic about the next 12 months; this year, that number fell to 71 percent. This is still a strong number, but it shows concerns.
Recruiting, hiring, retaining and managing employees remains the biggest strategic initiative or challenge that executives face.
Despite regular news about smaller deals and a return to the occasional megadeal, only 17 percent of survey respondents are aggressive in their approach to mergers and acquisitions. This number has been essentially steady throughout the past year.
A majority of executives see emerging marketssuch as Brazil, Russia, India and Chinaas a path to expansion in the next year. In last years survey, less than half felt that way.
Greenhouse gas regulation continues to have little impact on business. This may be due to the fact that national legislative efforts have slowed greatly.
Information technology strategies are still an important aspect of the metals business. (We will explore this further in the October issue of the magazine.) In fact, 86 percent of survey respondents said it is very critical or somewhat important to their operations, up slightly over last year.
Cautious is the word that best seems to describe executives current thinking. The future looks like it will be brighterafter all, business is better than it was just three or four years agoand yet there remains a nagging concern that something isnt quite right. Perhaps the decisions that metal executives make in the coming months will help sharpen those visions.
All comments are subject to editorial review.

The Korean producers 'seem to think they have a good case, but personally I wouldn't get overly confident.'

Dow record? Who cares? Economy still stinks!March 5, 2013: 12:00 PM ET
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Paul R. La Monica. Other than Time Warner, the parent of CNNMoney, Abbott Laboratories and AbbVie, La Monica does not own positions in any individual stocks.
The Dow Jones industrial average hit a new all-time high today, topping the 14,200 level for the first time. Forgive me if I'm not celebrating.
Sure, I'm just as thrilled as the next guy and gal that the funds in my 401(k) plan -- as well as shares of my parent company Time Warner (TWX) -- have recovered sharply over the past four years. But the Dow is only a weighted average of 30 stocks. It's not really a reflection of the true economy.
Heck, the Dow circa October 2007 isn't even the same 30 companies as today.
The last time the Dow peaked, AIG (AIG), GM (GM), Honeywell (HON), Altria (MO) and Citigroup (C) were in it. They've since been replaced by Cisco (CSCO), Chevron (CVX), UnitedHealth (UNH), Travelers (TRV) and Bank of America (BAC). Comparing today's Dow to the 2007 make-up is like arguing whether the 1998 New York Yankees could beat the 1927 Bronx Bombers. Fun debate. But mostly pointless.
So investors and traders can pop champagne corks about this milestone. But what about the large number of people who don't have that much skin in the Wall Street game?
Consider this. When the Dow hit its now old record high back in October 2007, the economy was still in good shape -- although it was just a few months away from the beginning of the Great Recession.
The unemployment rate in October 2007 was 4.7%. In January of this year, the unemployment rate was 7.9%.(Thanks to the wonderful FRED database at the St. Louis Federal Reserve for making it easy to look up this and other historical data.)
Workers were getting more bang for their buck too. While total wages and salaries nationwide are up 6.7% since October 2007, the consumer price index has risen more than 10% during the same time frame.
Gross domestic product grew 3% in the third quarter of 2007. Revised figures from the government last week showed that GDP in the fourth quarter of 2012 rose a scant 0.1%. But I guess that's good news considering the first estimate showed a 0.1% decline.
And despite all the hoopla about the steady recovery in the housing market over the past year, real estate is still in a bear market. The most recent level of the S&P Case-Shiller 20-City Home Price Index, one of the most widely watched gauges of the health of housing, is still 24% below where it was in October 2007.
Related: Why America's middle class is squeezed
Public debt as a percentage of GDP is over 100% right now. Back in October 2007, debt was only about 65% of GDP.
So let's get this straight. The job market is still considerably worse than October 2007. The economy is barely growing. Housing prices have not come back completely. And the federal government is much more heavily in hock.
The market is priced as if the U.S. recovery is in full-blown expansion mode. But that's simply not the case. Instead, we are merely entering year four of what's been a subpar recovery. And there are more reasons to be worried than excited.
Globally, there are still big concerns about the health of Europe. China may have a real estate bubble that could make the U.S. housing bust look like child's play.
And speaking of the U.S., have you noticed how dysfunctional our least and dimmest "leaders" are in Washington?
Related: First furlough notices go out
Forced budget cuts went into effect last week, even though Congress and the president bought themselves more time to avoid them when they reached a fiscal cliff deal on taxes back in January.
Given that Republicans and Democrats are showing no willingness to work together, is there any real reason to believe that they can forestall a government shutdown later this month? Or that they will be able to cobble together a meaningful agreement on budget issues before the debt ceiling needs to be raised once again in mid-May?
So why are stocks still surging? Central banks, most notably the Federal Reserve, are continuing to do everything they can to keep the market afloat. Short-term interest rates have not budged since December 2008. They remain near zero. The Fed has also been buying bonds and mortgage-backed securities through several crisis-era programs to keep long-term rates low. The yield on the 10-year Treasury right now is 1.9%. Back in October 2007, the 10-year was yielding 4.66%.
This has created an environment that's perfect for stocks. The Fed is encouraging investors to take more risks. But it is still acting like the financial crisis hasn't ended.
Companies also remain cautious. Many blue chips have been hoarding cash. Ahem, Apple (AAPL). Businesses have also done all they can to cut expenses (which often means layoffs) to keep their bottom lines growing. Corporate profits were up more than 33% from October 2007 through last July (the most recent figures available via FRED).
Related: Why the Fed is failing to boost lending
Of course, I'm not trying to demonize corporate success. But there is a bigger disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street now than there was nearly five-and-a-half years ago.
Yes. the Dow may be at an all-time high. And the broader S&P 500 may soon hit a new peak of its own. But the American consumer is still hurting. Don't forget that as you read all the headlines about this record-setting bull market.

A couple of years ago, I came across Smart Traveller claiming that wearing your name tag can increase the risk of crime and assault in the form of someone who pretends to already know you taking advantage of your trust:
A young Australian woman was attending a conference in a foreign city, and went shopping downtown for the afternoon. A young man approached her, greeting her by name and explained he was from the hotel where she was staying and would look after her. He took her to meet friends at another hotel and bought her a drink. When she woke in the morning she had been assaulted and robbed. She discovered she was still wearing her conference name tag - that was how the young man had known her name.
However, this anecdote is no longer on Smart Traveller (I got it from another web site that copied its contents), and I've never heard anyone else talk about this.
Is wearing a name tag in public in foreign cities a risk?
Background: A recent conference I attended, that's not in my home city, asked us to wear our lanyards while going from the conference venue to a pub, and while at the pub. I want to know if this is something risky that should be avoided.

FAYETTE CROSS: Hilltop edged Fayette's girls by a point to win the final league cross country run last week on the Cadets' course, but the Eagles still hung onto the top place in the BBC standings to take the league crown.
The Eagles claimed three of the top 10 spots in the race, but that wasn't quite enough. Hilltop took second and fourth place and its slower runners were up far enough to make the difference.
"It was close," coach Bryan Stambaugh said. "We were leading most of the race, but there were a couple of position changes in the last half mile that cost us a few points."
The league title makes it two in a row for the Eagles girls team.
Hilltop finished with 48 points to Fayette's 49. Stryker followed with 57, then Edon with 89, Pettisville with 101 and North Central with 181. Edon's Sabrina Brown was first overall with a time of 20:48.
The Eagles were led by Jill Stuckey in third at 21:26, followed by Melani Seiler (7th, 22:24), Emilie Keiser (10th, 22:40), Madelyn Maginn (14th, 22:57), Noelle Goodson (15th, 23:10), Liz Maginn (25th, 24:37) and Ellen Baker (28th, 24:56).
"I was happy with their times," Stambaugh said. "It wasn't the best race for everybody, but they were about where they should be."
In the final BBC standings, Stuckey was ranked fourth and Seiler was sixth for first-team honors. Keiser and Goodson made the second team and both Maginns received honorable mention.
Pettisville's boys notched four of the top seven places to win handily with 29 points, followed by Fayette at 54, Stryker at 67, Hilltop at 101, Edon at 128, and North Central at 164.
The Blackbirds' Dominic Frey finished first overall at 17:01, 10 seconds ahead of Fayette sophomore Skylar Lantz in second at 17:11. Lantz still claimed the league individual title with all first- and second-place finishes.
After Lantz came Dylan Stannard (8th, 18:01), Jared Wagner (13th, 18:26), Casen Burkholder (15th, 18:48), Ian Schrock (16th, 18:56), Dylan Aschemeier (27th, 20:03) and Cole Burkholder (31st, 20:58).
Stambaugh said the boys lowered their point total in each of the BBC runs this season, and that's the improvement he wanted to see.
Stannard and Burkholder made the second team all-BBC squad while Wagner and Schrock received honorable mention.
JUNIOR HIGH—Fayette's boys took first again to win the final league meet with 25 ahead of Pettisville's 47, and the Eagles also won the league title.
Austin Lopez was second at 11:39, Christian Suarez third at 11:44, Alex Jaramillo fourth at 12:09 and Skyler Jones eighth at 12:31.
Other Eagles were Bryce Conklin (12th, 12:47), Mason Maginn (15th, 12:50), Cole Stuckey (20th, 13:35), Jason Stuckey (28th, 13:52), Christian Renner (42nd, 15:20), Grant Reinking (47th, 15:55) and Max Baker (49th, 16:13).
For the girls, Haley Perdue took third at 12:47, followed by Jennaya Hibbard, 10th at 14:14, Alexus Ball, 17th at 16:18 and Caitlin McIntosh, 20th 18:25.
Fayette was second with 72 points, behind Pettisville with 18.
In the final standings, Perdue took third. For the boys, Suarez finished second, Jaramillo was third, Conklin was seventh and Maginn was eighth.
The junior high boys will run in the state tournament Sunday—an event that's not a school run. It's the first time a Fayette team has made the trip to Groveport south of Columbus.
FAYETTE VOLLEYBALL: Fayette's varsity volleyball team took Stryker into five games Thursday before dropping the league match.
The Eagles won the first two in close 25-23 wins and nearly finished it off in the third game before falling 20-25. Fayette collapsed in the fourth set, 12-25, then lost 6-15 in the deciding game.
The loss marked the final contest on the regular schedule.
Last week at Hilltop, the Cadets won in three games, 25-18, 25-10 and 25-16.
They also fell in three games against Morenci Oct. 8.
"I have the team and the talent that can start out strong," said coach Danni Keefer. "We just need to keep working on finishing as well as we start."
Cady Stockburger finished with 13 good serves for the night, while Taylor Hartman and Allison Cuff each added 12. Cuff had 10 good attacks with one kill. Paige Keefer finished with 11 attacks and three kills.
In other action this month, Fairview won in a tri-match, 25-11 and 25-22, as did Holgate, 25-20 and 26-24.
Against Pettisville Oct. 2, the Blackbirds claimed the win, 25-11, 25-17 and 25-20.
"Our front line showed improvement that evening," Coach Keefer said. "Our goal is to focus on improving our back line performance."
At Edon Oct. 4, the Bombers won 25-11, 25-13 and 25-17.
"The girls had a great game because of their improved movement all over the court," Keefer said. "The whole floor was shifting to the ball and covering the hitters."
Edon's speed gave them the advantage, but Keefer was pleased with her team's improvement.
JVs—The Eagle JV team fell to Hilltop, 23-25 and 15-25, but took Stryker to three games. Fayette won the opener, 25-18, then fell 23-25 and 14-25.
MORENCI CROSS: Morenci runners gave a good showing Saturday at the Lenawee County cross country championship with three top-10 finishes.
Tatyana Pless finished second in the girls race, getting edged out by Tecumseh's Katie Kaspar in the final leg to finish just five seconds back from the winner. Pless crossed the line at 20:29 and teammate Mariah Gillen took third at 20:41. That was Pless's best run ever and Gillen was just two seconds off her record time.
As a team, the Bulldogs placed fifth. Tecumseh won the meet, followed by Blissfield.
Other Bulldog runners were Samantha Mikuski (21st, 22:30), Maelle Delhaise (25:07), Taylor Baugh (25:15) and Andi Mikuski (30:27). Sammy Mikuski was 10 seconds away from her best, despite illness.
Luke Spaulding finished in ninth place at 18:01, while league foe Dominic Muessig of Clinton won the race at 16:42. Spaulding got off to a fast start, coach Brad Brown said, and ended up not running his best.
Jake Spaulding took 23rd at 18:36 and Reagan Stowell was 28th at 18:56, his personal best. Brandt Kelley also turned in his best ever at 21:43.
Tecumseh also won the boys title, defeating Adrian by two points. Morenci took fifth place, but beat Addison for the first time this season.
The Bulldogs topped Pittsford for the first time two weeks ago, Brown noted, as they continue to show improvement.
Now that the league season has ended, Morenci's cross country teams will turn their attention toward the Class D Championship meet Saturday, followed by the regional run Oct. 27.
This marks the first time Morenci has participated in the Class D meet in Shephard, Mich., which is sponsored by a coaches association.
"The kids are looking forward to it and know they'll run against some of the best teams in the state," said coach Brad Brown.
Some of the best individuals will be there, also, including the top Class D girl who has run a 17:39 and has finished in the 17-minute range several times this season.
TCC—The Bulldog girls finished the season with their number three runner, Madi Gleckler, injured, giving Britton-Deerfield the opportunity to win its first-ever league title in the sport.
The Bulldogs placed two runners on the all-league team and the boys did the same.
Morenci juniors Tatyana Pless and Mariah Gillen placed one-two at the final TCC run Oct. 9 at Woodlawn Golf Course. Pless crossed the line at 21:10, with Gillen five seconds behind.
Other all-league members were Natalie Perry of Sand Creek, Gina Pike of Clinton, Ashley Daniels of Whiteford and Emily Gebhardt of Sand Creek.
Times weren't the best of the season, but it's not a fast course, Coach Brown said, and they were good times for that location.
Other Morenci runners were Samantha Mikuski (16th, 24:33), Taylor Baugh (21st, 25:01) and Maelle Delhaise (29th, 26:17).
BD scored 59 points, followed by Sand Creek with 68 and Morenci with 69.
Clinton's boys team repeated as league champions, placing three members on the all-league squad. Dominic Muessig won the race at 17:30, followed by teammate Ryan Rogers. Bulldog Luke Spaulding took third at 18:24 and his brother, Jake, finished fourth at 18:46.
Other all-league runners were Justin Swisher of Clinton, David Gilbert of Madison and Jacob Warwick of Madison.
Reagan Stowell received honorable mention with his 19:24 finish for 11th place. Adam Roseman was 28th at 21:15 and Brandt Kelley took 48th at 24:02.
Clinton won with 43 points, followed by Madison (68), Sand Creek (72) and Morenci (84).
MORENCI FOOTBALL: What a way to end the season.
Two weeks ago the Bulldogs faced the league leaders from Clinton, then last week it was the second-place team when Whiteford visited.
Now, to finish off the season, it's number three Britton-Deerfield.
Don't expect the level of competition to drop with number three, because all three of the Tri-County Conference teams played extremely close games against one another.
This week at Deerfield, the Bulldogs will face the league's most prolific ball carrier and scorer, Leighton Merritt, who gained 1,069 yards and scored 12 touchdowns prior to last week's 21-3 win against Sand Creek. The Patriots also have the fourth best passing record with quarterback Nate Hoffman tallying more than 700 yards.
Britton-Deerfield will bring some extra incentive to the field Friday—the Patriots need the victory to advance into the playoffs.
Last Friday it was second-place Whiteford that delivered a 30-0 shutout against Morenci. The Bulldog offense was kept in check all night long, finishing with only 84 total yards.
"They were bigger and stronger at the line of scrimmage," coach Mike McDowell said. "We're in position, but we're not able to sustain blocks. Our effort is still good, but we're being beat by better teams."
Whiteford scored on its first drive of the game and came back with another touchdown early in the second quarter following a Morenci punt.
The Bulldogs stopped the next Bobcat drive, but Morenci's next punt was blocked and Whiteford was soon in the end zone again for a 22-0 lead. Austin Thomas grabbed an interception shortly before half-time.
Morenci's defense made several stops until a big play gave the Bobcats the boost they needed to advance.
Hayze Wolf finished the contest with 23 tackles, including 13 solos. Eli Decker also gave a good defensive showing with eight tackles.
Nick Stutzman finished with seven tackles, Kendrick Taylor with six and Brandon Myers with six.
For his small frame, McDowell said, Myers manages to do a lot of disruption to the opponent's offense.
Quarterback Torin Merillat was back in the line-up following a shoulder injury at Clinton, but he didn't practice last week and he wasn't used on defense against Whiteford.
This week the Bulldogs will be down to two spare players in uniform unless Coach McDowell brings up a player from the JV squad.
MORENCI VOLLEYBALL: Morenci's strong volleyball season took a break last week—seven matches, no wins.
The Bulldogs fell to league-leading Whiteford in a double-header Oct. 9, then failed to pick up a win in a tough bracket of the county tournament.
Finally, Morenci fell Monday to Lenawee Christian, facing a team they will likely see again in the district tournament that starts Oct. 29 in Morenci.
"We played with good effort but came up short against LCS," coach Dennis Owens said.
The top-10 ranked Cougars broke open a 16-16 tie in the opener to win 25-16, then followed up with a 25-14 win. A 25-20 decision ended it, after the Bulldogs were as close as 20-22.
Statistics: Brooke Bovee, 16 kills, 8 digs, 6/6 serving and 8/8 in service reception.
Breanna Gilson, 11 assists, 11/11 serving, 8 digs, 1 block.
Emma Binegar, 10 assists, 6/7 serving.
Erin Vanderpool, 14/14 in service reception, 9/10 serving.
COUNTY—The Bulldogs were in the toughest pool at the county tournament and "never could get over the hump for a win," Owens said.
Morenci lost to Tecumseh 16-25 and 15-25, to Onsted 25-27 and 15-25, to LCS 24-26 and 11-25, and then in bracket play to Clinton 22-25, 15-25.
Hitting: Brooke Bovee, 39 kills, 1 block; Hannah Jeffers, 12 kills, 2 blocks; Breanna Gilson, 11 kills; Hilary Falor, 4 kills, 2 blocks.
Passing: Brooke Bovee, 34 digs; Hannah Jeffers, 28 digs; Erin Vanderpool, 26 digs.
Setting: Breanna Gilson, 28 assists; Emma Binegar, 28 assists.
Serving: Hannah Jeffers, 34/36, 4 aces, 20 points; Jessica Storrs, 19/19, 2 aces; Breanna Gilson, 22/23, 2 aces; Brooke Bovee, 19/22, 6 aces.
WHITEFORD—The Bobcats kept their grasp on first place with a double victory last week at Morenci.
Whiteford took the opener 25-15, 25-20, 22-25 and 25-18, then closed the night 25-23, 24-26, 25-13 and 25-15.
"We missed too many serves against a good team and had a lot of hitting and digging errors," Coach Owens said. "We did a good job in service reception and we got our hands on a lot of their hits at the net, but we could not convert enough of them."
Statistics: Brooke Bovee, 46 kills, 2 blocks, 21 digs, 21/22 serving 2 aces and 7 points.
Hannah Jeffers, 22 kills, 2 blocks, 21 digs, 33/37 serving, 9 aces, 21 points.
Erin Vanderpool, 30 digs, 49/50 in service reception.
Breanna Gilson, 34 assists, 12 digs, 5 kills, 1 block, 29/31 serving, 3 aces, 13 points.
Emma Binegar, 34 assists, 20/22 serving, 1 ace and 8 points.
Jessica Storrs, 27/30 serving, 2 aces and 13 points.
Hilary Falor, 2 kills, 1 block coming off the bench.
Ashley VanBrandt, 3 kills and 2 blocks.
Taylor Schisler, 3 kills.
JVs: Morenci's JV volleyball team played six matches Saturday at the Camden tournament, finally losing to the host team in the semifinals.
Morenci opened pool play with a split against North Adams, then beat Pittsford and Tekonsha before splitting with Blissfield.
In the championship bracket quarterfinal, Morenci defeated Waldron 25-22 and 25-15. Courtney Fletcher led the offense with six kills and nine service points, and Justus McCowan's pressure serves helped propel Morenci into the semifinals.
In the semis, Camden opened the first game with a 10-point run before Morenci managed to get its first side-out. The Bulldogs scrambled to close Camden's lead, but came up short, losing the first game 22-25. Morenci recovered to win the second game 25-20 before Camden controlled the final game to knock the Bulldogs out of the tournament.
Ali VanBrandt and Emily Schmidt directed the offense from their setting positions, while Brooke Baumgartner anchored the back line defense in her first action playing the libero position.
For the day, Rebecca Heinze finished with 22 kills and Sydney Weeks added 15 kills in addition to her steady back-row play.
LCS—Monday at Lenawee Christian, Morenci's offense stalled and the Cougars won 25-16 and 25-10.
It was a disappointing evening, coach Renae Schaffner said, with the team managing just six kills in the match.

You can order it from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, the publishers Rowman & Littlefield, and also through your local bookstores. For more on the book, see here. You can also listen to the podcast of the interview on WCPN 90.3 about the book.)
On December 26, 2009 I flew to Sri Lanka to attend a college reunion. It was the day after the 'underwear bomber' incident that took place on the transatlantic flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. I was glad to go out of the country since I knew that the media here would be saturated with the usual hysterical "Oh my god, we're all going to die unless we give up to the government all our rights and liberties and privacy so that they can protect us from all danger!" that always follows these attempts by suicidal persons to inflict harm on others.
Although such bomb attempts do not scare me from flying despite the absurd hysteria they arouse, I fully expected to deal with a lot of security. But there was nothing unusual and I breezed through security with just the routine checks.
But the second leg of my flight from Washington (Dulles) to London (Heathrow) was far from routine. About 45 minutes before we were due to land in London, I was trying to take a nap when suddenly I heard shouting and opened my eyes to see two men running up the two aisles from the back to the plane towards the center where there was the galley and bathrooms. I also heard the sounds of fighting in the narrow passage between the bathrooms with someone seemingly being beaten and their head pounded against the wall or floor. The two men whom I had seen running took positions in each aisle where they could see up and down, whipped out badges that were on chains around their necks, and shouted out that they were police and that everyone should immediately take their seats and remain seated thereafter. They stayed in this position while the sounds of fighting continued, accompanied by shouts of "Stop beating your head against the wall!" and "Stop beating me!" and I realized that two other air marshalls were the ones subduing someone in the passage between the bathrooms.
Eventually, after about fifteen minutes, the sounds of fighting subsided but the two air marshalls in the aisles stayed in their positions and kept surveying everyone in the plane all through the landing. We were told to remain in our seats until the British police could arrive and take charge of things. This took about 20 minutes and after that we were allowed to leave the plane, though those who had been eyewitnesses to what had happened near the bathrooms were asked to remain. No one told us the cause of fracas. I later checked the web for information and found nothing so I figure that the disturbance was caused by a drunk or psychotic or otherwise unruly passenger, not someone with any intent to destroy the plane.
Even though this occurred the day after the Christmas bombing attempt, I did not feel any panic or fear during the entire episode, nor did I detect such feelings in the other passengers that I could see. People seemed to be simply curious about what was going on, craning their necks to get a better view. In fact, one passenger allowed his little daughter to stand in her seat so that she could get a better look. I think that this sense of calm was due to the fact that the air marshalls seemed to quickly take control of things and also because the flight attendants, even while there were sounds of fighting, created an air of normalcy by going about doing routine pre-landing tasks such as collecting cups and so on.
On my return trip to the US on January 11, there did not seem to be any extra security either, even at London as I was boarding for the US. The security people at Heathrow airport did not require everyone to take off their shoes but looked at them first before making the request. My shoes were given the green light and could be kept on but people with boots were asked to remove them. The only extra measure was at the boarding gate. I was singled out of the line and asked to check in my carry-on bag because new size restrictions for carry-on baggage had apparently been imposed on January 1 because of the underwear bomber incident and my bag that had passed muster all these days was now suddenly deemed to be too large.
Although the request was made courteously and I complied without making any protest, I was a bit suspicious because other passengers with similar sized bags were allowed to keep them and I was wondering whether my skin color had caused me to be singled out as a potentially dangerous person. After arriving in the US at Washington and passing through customs and immigration, I was told that I could once again take my bag as a carry-on on my last leg to Cleveland, suggesting that this new size rule was being applied somewhat inconsistently.
On the flight from London to the Washington, they also announced that there was another new rule, that when the 'fasten seat belt' sign comes on, everyone must return to their seats immediately, with no exceptions even for those going to the bathroom or already in it. For this seven-hour flight, they put on the sign a full hour before landing, which is the time when a lot of people use the facilities. This caused some friction between a few passengers and the flight attendants, who knocked on the door of the bathroom and asked the people inside to return to their seats. The reason for this new rule seems to be that the underwear bomber tried to detonate his explosives during the last half-hour of this flight, but since that seemed to be an arbitrary decision on his part, the logic of this new rule escapes me, since another bomber could merely make his move earlier.
On my return to the US, I discovered that the usual hysteria over the underwear bomber had indeed occurred, with people demanding even more security measures such as full body scanners, profiling, and the like.
I wonder when people are going to say that they have had enough. I myself have long ago reconciled myself to the fact that there will always be people crazy enough to try and find ways to kill others and that there is no way to be 100% secure even if we give up all our rights and liberties and freedoms and privacy. Systems and people are fallible and there will always be some cracks in the security system that can be exploited. So I am willing to take the risk of loss of life in a terrorist attack in return for living a life that is free from highly intrusive government security. This is why I think I was so unperturbed by the fight on the earlier flight. After all, the risk from dying in a terrorist attack is surely less than the risk of dying from other causes that I face every day such as car crashes or common criminals or building collapses. I don't obsess over those risks so why should I obsess over dying in a plane crash?

So, you're hosting a webinar using AnyMeeting! Awesome! Your presentation material is polished, you have completed the webinar set-up in the AnyMeeting app, and you are ready to lock-in some valuable attendees by promoting your online event. But where to start? With so many promotional tools out there, how do you maximize your reach in a timely manner, without the added cost?
The following 9 promotional channels are free, almost effortless, and will truly amplify your online presentation's exposure:
- Your Email Contacts: This is the easiest place to start your webinar promotion. When scheduling your webinar, you can copy and paste your email list of your targeted audience…and just like that, your promotional campaign takes off! Your webinar is set-up, your people have been invited via email, and they'll even receive reminders on the day of the webinar!
- Your AnyMeeting Public Profile: The second easiest channel to use for AnyMeeting webinar promotion is an informative landing page. Use your AnyMeeting Public Profile as a landing page, by directing potential attendees to this page (located in the Account Manager under the "Public Profile" tab — make sure it's on the "public" setting). This is an ideal way to direct traffic to all of your upcoming webinars. As long as your mark your webinars as public when scheduling them, they will show up on this page with all the info your attendees need!
- AnyMeeting Social Integration Tools: While you are still in the AnyMeeting app, click on your AnyMeeting Public Profile tab to share and promote your upcoming webinars quickly and easily through Twitter and Facebook. Once the integration is set up, your scheduled webinars are automatically posted to your stream. How easy is that?
- LinkedIn: LinkedIn is an ideal place to promote your business webinars, and can be done so quickly and easily. You're on there every morning anyway — why not drop a note about your upcoming event?
- Instagram and Pinterest: A picture is worth a thousand words — especially when it becomes viral. Snap a cool photo or create a catchy graphic that represents your webinar topic, load it with hashtags, event info, and your AnyMeeting landing page link, and voilà!
- Your Blog: Already blogging for your business? Great! Be sure to post about your webinars as they approach. You can do this in a way that is fun and interesting, by creating a consecutive series of blog entries that touch on topics which will be covered in your upcoming webinar. Without giving away too much valuable information (save it for the webinar!), you can spike interest and even collect questions from readers to address at the upcoming event. Always close the series with details about the upcoming webinar, and a call to action: "Secure your spot today!"
- Another's Blog: To cast an even wider net, try promoting your online event by joining forces with a popular blogger in your industry. "Guest Blogging" is a great way to reach new potential attendees, and create relationships with other voices in your line of business.
- Video Channels: Periscope, Vine, and YouTube are fun and out-of-the-box channels for promoting your webinar. Using viral video tools, you can quickly create free promotional materials that are sure to get potential attendees' attention. Think fad-like social media channels like Periscope and Vine are not marketing tools? Think again! Live and unedited promotional pitches show authenticity and creativity, and break up the monotony of traditionally written promotion that may be ignored.
- Your Email Signature: While it may seem too simple to be true, adding upcoming webinar information with a link to your email signature is a highly effective, and effortless way to promote your upcoming webinar. Think about all the people you exchange emails with on a daily basis who may click your link, or forward the info to a colleagues.
Okay, we have only touched the tip of the iceberg, my friends! I'm sure we could list dozens of more easy ways to promote webinars, but we know you need to get back to work. 😉
Have any fun ideas to add to this list? Leave us a comment!

Maronite Leader Expresses Concern About Christians in Syria
Maronite Leader Expresses Concern About Christians in Syria
Maronite Patriarch Mar Beshara Boutros el-Rai expressed concern on the situation of Christians in Syria and the increasing number of displaced Syrians living in Lebanon.
During his meeting with French President Francois Hollande at the Elysee Palace in Paris Tuesday, Patriarch Rahi said a large number of Orthodox Christians- about 60 percent of those displaced- had left Syria, and that the solution there must be political. Patriarch Rahi stressed that President Bashar el-Assad is not worse than those who are fighting in Syria.
"[France] is committed to stability of Lebanon and political harmony among all components of the Lebanese community in order to preserve civil peace and national unity," President Hollande said in a statement.
"France remains very interested in the situation of Christians in the Middle, those who constitute a key component of the identity of the country and the region," he added, while stressing the "historical ties with the Maronite Patriarchate and Maronite people of Lebanon."
Sources said Hollande's meeting with Patriarch Rahi began with an extended session followed by a closed meeting between the president and the patriarch, London's Al-Hayat newspaper reported.
The sources also said that when Hollande asked about Hezbollah, the patriarch replied that he has talks with the party that represent the Shiite community in Lebanon and has relationships with all communities in Lebanon.

How it Works
On most recipe sites, the journey begins and pretty much ends with finding a recipe. But on BakeSpace, finding a recipe is just the beginning of the journey.
As a BakeSpace member you can post, search and swap recipes in real-time, and our unique recipe swap feature ensures that you'll always know what your friends are cooking. You can also build and customize your own "online kitchen," raid the "virtual pantry" (forums), upload videos, create blogs, get inspired, share your passion and learn from other members by tapping into our first-of-its-kind mentor program.
On BakeSpace, you can also publish your own cookbook as both an ebook and native ipad app for free! Check it out at BakeSpace.com/cookbooks.
BakeSpace.com -- launched in August 2006 as the Web's first food-themed social network and recipe swap -- our unique advertising platform enables brands to engage with consumers on a peer-to-peer level and add value to the social networking experience.
Currently we have partnerships with Sony,Universal, ABC, Fox Searchlight, Kodak, Reynolds, Sara Lee, McCormick, Duncan Hines to name a few.
From day-one, our grassroots site has helped brands transcend banner advertising by joining the conversation as an active community member. Each new ad campaign or promotion on BakeSpace is designed to preserve the site's grassroots sensibility and help members connect with one another, as well as with brands, in new and exciting ways.
A Genuine Grassroots Community
Created by and for food enthusiasts, BakeSpace is fundamentally different from food sites built by large publishers and marketing database companies attempting to enter the realm of social networking.
Our organic and transparent approach to brand integration allows brands to invite members to join their network of friends so they can share recipes, tips and other worthwhile content.

Background: The Indus Valley civilization, one of the oldest in the world and dating back at least 5,000 years, spread over much of what is presently Pakistan. During the second millennium B.C., remnants of this culture fused with the migrating Indo-Aryan peoples. The area underwent successive invasions in subsequent centuries from the Persians, Greeks, Scythians, Arabs (who brought Islam), Afghans, and Turks. The Mughal Empire flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries; the British came to dominate the region in the 18th century. The separation in 1947 of British India into the Muslim state of Pakistan (with West and East sections) and largely Hindu India was never satisfactorily resolved, and India and Pakistan fought two wars - in 1947-48 and 1965 - over the disputed Kashmir territory. A third war between these countries in 1971 - in which India capitalized on Islamabad's marginalization of Bengalis in Pakistani politics - resulted in East Pakistan becoming the separate nation of Bangladesh. In response to Indian nuclear weapons testing, Pakistan conducted its own tests in 1998. India-Pakistan relations have been rocky since the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, but both countries are taking small steps to put relations back on track. In February 2008, Pakistan held parliamentary elections and in September 2008, after the resignation of former President MUSHARRAF, elected Asif Ali ZARDARI to the presidency. Pakistani government and military leaders are struggling to control domestic insurgents, many of whom are located in the tribal areas adjacent to the border with Afghanistan.

Pakistan Through the Lens of Iraq
As General Petraeus takes over Central Command, America's options in Pakistan become much clearer when examined through the lens of the American experience in Iraq.
Terror Remains Beyond Control of Pakistani State
International terrorist plots with the invariable Pakistani hand draw upon a rich resource base for jihad that has taken root in the social system of Pakistan and is beyond the control of the Pakistani state.
The People of Pakistan Have Spoken
The biggest winner is Pakistani democracy. The elections proved that even in the wake of intimidation and fear of violence, Pakistanis continue to believe in the discourse of democracy.
Apprehension Palpable Ahead of Feb. 18 Elections in Pakistan
The sense of festivity that usually marks elections in Pakistan is largely absent. A deep sense of apprehension is palpable, and people remain reluctant to join in the rallies and corner meetings.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised President Barack Obama for securing a fourth round of Iran sanctions, even though many here say that the measures are not sufficient to prompt Tehran to change course.
"It's an important first symbolic step,'' says Zalman Shoval, a former Israeli ambassador to the US and a member of a team of foreign policy advisers to Netanyahu. "It shows Iran and its supporters that most of the world is determined to oppose Iran's nuclear efforts, but a great deal more will be needed in order to make sanctions effective…. Obviously time is running out.''
Israel had called for "crippling" economic sanctions, including a ban on buying oil and gas from Iran. But in the wake of Israel's fatal Gaza flotilla raid, officials here seem resigned to the fact that there's little they can do to accelerate the gradualist approach of the US.
IN PICTURES: The Gaza flotilla and the aftermath of the Israeli naval raid
"Israel is much more enthusiastic than the international community'' on sanctions, says Meir Javedanfar, an Iran expert based in Tel Aviv. But "Israel can't part ways with the US. Israel had problems taking over one Turkish ship, and it infuriated the international community, which shows that the current Israeli government doesn't have the political capital to take Iran militarily, which is much more complex.''
Israel relieved to move out of international spotlight
Mr. Netanyahu lauded Mr. Obama for building an "impressive'' majority in the United Nations Security Council Thursday, persuading even Russia and China to support fresh sanctions.
For Netanyahu, the vote was a welcome global spotlight shift after more than a week of intense international pressure on Israel for an external investigation of its raid on the main boat of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla, the Turkish-flagged Mavi Marmara. Turkey and Brazil, which had brokered an 11th-hour nuclear fuel swap deal with Iran in a bid to avoid sanctions, were the only two countries on the 15-member council to oppose the vote – although Lebanon abstained.
Iran unlikely to 'rethink' its nuclear aspirations – analyst
While Israel has been relatively quiet publicly, national security commentator Ronen Bergman wrote that Israeli officials have privately knocked the measures approved yesterday as too weak. But he took issue with such views.
Writing in the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot, he said the measures would have a "considerable tactical effect'' on the Iranian military establishment and nuclear program by limiting the purchase of equipment – and by hurting companies and banks that finance the build-up. But ultimately, he said, the sanctions will not achieve Israel's ultimate goal.
"The bad news is that all this will probably not change the Iranian determination to reach the bomb,'' he wrote. "Only sanctions that inflict serious harm to the Iranian economy and cause distress to the Iranian people are liable to cause the regime to feel that its future is in danger – and rethink the whole matter. The sanctions imposed yesterday are not sanctions of this kind.''

Bieber hits back at underage party reports
Justin Bieber has slammed reports he brought underage Jaden Smith and Ella-Paige Roberts Clarke to a nightclub last week.
The pop star turned 19 on March 1 and reportedly had a huge circus-themed bash planned at Cirque du Soir in London.
Bieber was seen leaving the venue only minutes after he arrived.
Pal Jaden Smith and Justin's rumoured girlfriend Ella-Paige were reportedly seen walking from the nightclub around the same time.
That same night Bieber vented his frustrations on Twitter with a cryptic message.
"Worst birthday," he wrote, with no explanation.
The Baby hitmaker took to his Instagram account on Sunday to finally address the whole ordeal.
"The funny moment when people believe I brought underage people to a club," he captioned a blank image on the photo-sharing site.
"You think Will Smith is letting his 14-year-old in a club, I don't think so.
"2nd I love how the club wanted to give the press another reason to why we didn't stay at their weak ass club so they wouldn't look bad for me walking in and right back out.. [sic]."
Bieber went on to explain his tweet.
He insisted the message had nothing to do with reports of an incident between his entourage and club managers.
"i said my 'worst bday' but that was due to dummies pushing over my fans and being overly aggressive. Btw it wasn't the worst bday cuz all my friends from back home flew in I was just mad in the moment (sic)," he said.
Bieber is reported to have splashed out STG12,000 ($17,833) on the bash, despite leaving Cirque du Soir only moments after arriving.

Researchers find new target for Alzheimer's drug development
Researchers at the University of Minnesota's Center for Drug Design have developed a synthetic compound that, in a mouse model, successfully prevents the neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer's disease.
In the pre-clinical study, researchers Robert Vince, Ph.D.; Swati More, Ph.D.; and Ashish Vartak, Ph.D., of the University's Center for Drug Design, found evidence that a lab-made compound known as psi-GSH enables the brain to use its own protective enzyme system, called glyoxalase, against the Alzheimer's disease process.
The discovery is published online in the American Chemical Society journal ACS Chemical Neuroscience and presents a new target for the design of anti-Alzheimer's and related drugs.
"While most other drugs under development and on the market attempt to slow down or reverse the Alzheimer's processes, our approach strikes at a root cause by enabling the brain itself to fight the disease at a very early stage," said Vince, the study's lead researcher and director of the Center for Drug Design. "As is the case with all drug development, these studies need to be replicated in human patients before coming to any firm conclusions."
Alzheimer's has previously been found to impair the ability of the brain to use the glyoxalase system. But the compound psi-GSH provides the glyoxalase system the fuel it needs to destroy destructive oxidized sugar metabolites that – in Alzheimer's models – converts normal brain amyloid protein into the abnormal form that produces Alzheimer's.
When given to mice genetically predisposed to develop Alzheimer's disease, psi-GSH reduced the buildup of abnormal amyloid beta protein in the brain. The buildup of this protein is a well-known feature of Alzheimer's, ultimately found in the form of plaques and tangles in the brain associated with the condition.
After being administered with psi-GSH for 11 weeks, cognitive capabilities such as memory and chemical brain health indicators in Alzheimer's-predisposed mice remained intact.
For example, the treated mice retained complete memory in a standard Alzheimer's maze test while the untreated mice lost significant memory and ability to negotiate the maze, indications consistent with symptoms of advanced Alzheimer's.
In addition, the treated mice were devoid of brain plaques while the untreated mice had significant plaque formation.
Preliminary studies indicated no observed toxicity to the brain or other vital organs from psi-GSH.

Ah yeah, then seems that things get too complicated. You definitely need a DAW. Especially if you're doing electronic music, the amount of post production required to mix properly is such that even a serious desk would struggle, or at least require a lot of outboard. It's not a case that electronic music is made primarily in the box.
Although I'm aware of the bounce option and have used it to combine the same instrumental part recorded sectionally on several tracks to one;I am not sure to what extent the bounce destination track/tracks preserve the panning/levels I use to set things up...
They will most definitely preserve them. A bounce is a bounce - if they didn't preserve your panning, they wouldn't even when you bounce your final stereo mix. But the fact that you can bounce only stereo definitely complicates things.
so as a result my focus is on using the (mixdown>stereo master track>MBC>copy results back to 2 mono tracks as part of a submix) process the unit offers..
It seems like a case of making up for shortcomings of the tools you have. Get new tools! :D
Best of luck.

At a press conference in Seattle today the former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, backed plans in Washington and Colorado to make a legal market for marijuana in the United States.
Citing the loss of human life in his country due to the failed war on drugs and the black market that grew up in its shadows to feed the massive market for marijuana in the U.S., Fox said he hoped for an orderly and tightly regulated marijuana market here.
"We all understand that we human beings perform best in scenarios of peace and harmony. A new responsible society will bring this peace and harmony. About the loses? We cannot be worse than where we are. The war [on drugs] has been lost all along and it has been lost again and again. It's time for a new start. It's time for a new vision. That's why I applaud this group," Fox said.
The conference was organized by former Microsoft manager and now marijuana advocate Jamen Shively to announce his company's plans to create a national brand and business out of the legal marijuana markets coming online in Washington and Colorado.
Check out the videos for the rest of the story: Above Fox expresses his support and concerns and below Jamen Shively, CEO of Diego Pellicer Inc., lays out his company's plan to become a major player in an international and national marijuana market.

XO Silver
Stainless Steel
Elements Bracelet
* Far Infrared
* Tourmaline
* Germanium
Product Description - Standard Size is 8.5 inches
Elements Found in Each Bracelet
Beneftis of Germanium:
As a semiconductor element, Germanium has a small band gap that allows it to efficiently respond to infrared light. The two important characteristics of Germanium that brings about healthy function effects are its natural ability to balance the body's ions (bioelectricity) and the penetration of Far Infrared Rays into the human body.
Germanium atom has thirty-two electrons with four of them constantly moving unsteadily along its outermost shell. These four electrons are negative-charge carriers. When approached by a foreign substance, one of these four electrons will be ejected out of its orbit once the temperature is above 32 degrees Celsius. This famous semiconductor phenomenon is known in electronics as 'the positive hole effect'. The remaining three electrons will seize an electron from other atoms in order to maintain balance.
In essence, once in contact with the human skin, the negatively charged ions from the millions of Germanium atoms will attract the harmful positively charged ions from the body. This process is also known as the dehydrogenation effect where oxygen atoms combines with hydrogen ions which have accumulated in the body to remove them.
Our current urban lifestyle exposes the human body to harmful positive ions generated from mobile phones, computers, electronic and electrical equipment, chemicals, acid rain and ultraviolet rays. Hence, the negative-charge ion from Germanium will help in blood purification and balancing the positive and negative ions within the body. This also achieves muscle relieving effects as well as reducing fatigue and tiredness. The metabolism of the human cell is an extremely important process as it purges waste out of the body while acquiring nutrients from the blood. With more negative ions in the body, the body's metabolism process also increases in its efficiency.
Conversely, with more positive ions in the body's metabolism becomes less efficient and slower. Thus the human cells become weak and the body is more susceptible to sickness and the ageing process becomes accelerated. This can be further explained by the reduced oxygen carrying capacity of the blood cells.
While scientific research has not been conclusive, some people are said to have experienced the various benefits:
Here are some benefits of Tourmaline:
Studies have shown the increased incidence of chronic disease is directly related to toxic overflow in the body. Tourmaline gemstone is known to aid in relieving stress, increase mental alertness, improve circulation and strengthen the immune system. It is a powerful agent for reducing toxin-related ailments.
Furthermore, tourmaline produces a detoxifying, cleansing effect on the nervous system, as well as the organs and tissues of the body. It has been shown as a useful aid for improving circulation, reducing stress, improving brain alertness and activating the immune system. This colorful gemstone has a highly stabilizing effect on our nerves, due to its capacity to generate its own heat. This ability to self-produce an electrical change makes it one of the only minerals that can emit far infrared heat, as well as negative ions.
Here are some benefits of Far Infrared:
• Relieves muscle pain, spasms, and neuro-pathological conditions.
• Decreases joint stiffness.
• Increases blood flow.
• Assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrates, edema, and exudates. Increased peripheral circulation provides the transport needed to help release edema, which can help inflammation, decrease pain, and help speed healing.
• Scientific evidence shows that infrared therapy helps the body maintain healthy levels of cortisol. Cortisol is a "flight or flight" hormone produced by the body. Cortisol increases with stress and is implicated with weight gain. Far Infrared helps to control cortisol levels which helps metabolism.
•Far infrared detoxifies the body of harmful toxicities that could lead to illnesses. Many illnesses are caused by a "hyper-toxic" condition. Such toxins that are detoxified by far infrared include: heavy metals, hazardous materials, chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, pathogens, parasites, bacteria and viruses.
• Far Infrared stimulates the circulatory system, causing the heart to beat more vigorously and blood vessels to dilate, which help cleanse the circulatory system and more fully oxygenate the body's cells. Better blood circulation means more toxins flow from the cellular level to the skin's surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery and strengthen the immune system.
• Skin plays a vital role in the protection of our bodies from the external environment. When broken, it is important to repair it quickly to prevent infection. Far infrared has been proven to be very effective at wound healing.
More far infrared benefits:
• Far infrared promotes quick recovery from fatigue and improves blood circulation.
* Stress Reduction
* Beautifies and benefits the skin
* Enhanced Immune system
* Improved Cardiovascular Conditioning
* Cellulite Reduction
* Mercury & Heavy metal Removal
