There are four ranges of app stores: platform, driver, independent and manufacturer. This is a fragmented market with each shop having its own staminas and also weak points depending on the individuals' viewpoint and particular requirements. This record aims to uncover the landscape of shops and where they currently stand with the best MAC Apps.
Platform & Maker Stores:
Apple Application Store – The initial and, presently, most successful shop. With over 300,000 applications for the apple iphone, iTouch as well as iPad, it has actually had more than 7 billion downloads so far. All applications on this shop are vetted by Apple for viability, adherence to style requirements and to maintain the apps appropriate. Apple take 30 % of any kind of income from the application.
Google Android Market – This store currently flaunts 100,000 applications with 5,000+ being included weekly. It is an uncontrolled shop so anything goes. This nonetheless indicates that along with lots of great applications, there are also a reasonable amount of badly developed dross. Google take 30 % of any revenue from the app.
Ovi Shop – this is Nokia's app shop which has had 3 million downloads especially for Nokia phones. Although the court is still out on their brand-new variety of smart devices, Nokia's big installed base of Symbian tools mean that they're still a pressure to be considered. See this space of business applications.

Amazon – Not yet launched, the Amazon Android app shop threatens to be everything Android Market isn't really. Nonetheless in the pre-launch bumph Amazon mentions that an application cannot be sold for less anywhere else, which the app cannot be on deal anywhere else for more compared to two weeks before it's given to Amazon. The declared T's & C's likewise specifies that Amazon.com has sole discretion to identify all features and procedures of the apps and can establish the retail price of Mac Apps.

Brian Murphy '80 died 14 years ago.
The bookshelves inside Judy Bram Murphy's light-drenched apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan are filled with photographs from before: a wedding portrait, a baby picture, a snapshot of Judy, her two daughters, and her husband, Brian. Looking at the photographs, you can almost pretend that September 11, 2001, never happened, that the two jets never flew into the World Trade Center towers. You can almost pretend that Brian came home from work that day.
But Bram Murphy has no desire to pretend. Brian's death left her a young widow and a single mother to Jessica, who was then five years old, and Leila, who was not quite four.
Jessica and Leila are now 19 and 17, the same ages as my daughters. My wife, eldest daughter and I were at Ground Zero a few years ago, visiting my parents, whose office was nearby. My wife pointed out the site but my daughter did not remember 9/11. Do Jessica and Leila remember their father? How can they? Time steals all our memories, especially from the children.
For Judy Bram Murphy, Brian is most alive in their children, in Jessica's thoughtfulness and Leila's adventurous nature. Because of this, her daughters triggered a sadness in her during the first six months after the attacks. Gradually this sadness began to subside, and she is now able to cherish the memories her children evoke. "They bring life and spirit to my life," she says.
She takes every opportunity to help her daughters remember their father. The three talk about him all the time, reminding one another of things he used to say and do. Sometimes the girls will say, "I miss him" or "I wish he were here." Other times they will declare, "Daddy's here watching my concert" or "Daddy's proud of me" or even "Daddy's eating all the butter on the table."
What would your family remember if you were snatched away from them one clear sky morning? Is whatever else you are doing right now as important as that?
"I'm not sure if I said it first or if they said it first," she says, "but they feel he's there all the time." Bram Murphy takes comfort in that. She believes that such a sense helps the girls to feel safe and secure. "I don't always feel his presence," she adds, "but if I think about him, I feel he's there in some spiritual way. He's a part of me." She chooses not to shield them from her own emotions, believing it important to show them that it is permissible to be sad and to cry. She shows them that the sadness passes.
Heartbreaking. Sadness passes but never disappears. I hope that every father in the Murphys' community kept a special eye out for Jessica and Leila this last decade. They are all our daughters now.
When Bram Murphy runs into acquaintances who want to know how she's been faring over the past two years, she doesn't know how to answer. People tend to assume one of two things: that she is perpetually upset or depressed, or that by now she should be feeling better. "It's one of those situations that is not linear," she says. A clinical psychologist, she is a particularly astute and articulate observer of her own emotions. She has good days and bad days, she says; there are moments when she feels content and others when the sadness and the loneliness are crushing. "People in general," she says, "have trouble understanding that I'm not one thing for having this one thing happen to me."
I read these stories every year, and every year I cry. Do you?
Like many others who lost someone they loved on that clear, late-summer day, Judy Bram Murphy is finding her way in this new post-September 11 world. She reminds herself that it was her husband, not she and her children, who lost the most that day. "So many people complain or are dissatisfied, and he felt so lucky to have what he had," she says. "It just seems that he should have lived longer."
Indeed. Why was Brian Murphy taken from both his own family and the community of Ephs? We should all be more thankful for what we have. We are all so lucky.
For most people the death of a spouse is a personal loss, but the entire nation — and much of the world — feels somehow connected to the grief of the September 11 families. Many, Bram Murphy says, reached out with a kindness and generosity that she could never have imagined and that went far beyond anything she would have received had Brian died of a heart attack or in a car accident. Her yoga studio, for example, gave her two years of free instruction. Grief counselors this spring organized a day of activities for the children of the victims. Perhaps most touching, a woman last year asked for an assortment of Brian's T-shirts and ties and meticulously crafted them into three patchwork quilts–one for each of the family's beds. The gifts are comforting but also sometimes painful. "It's a double-edged sword," Bram Murphy says, pointing out a small sculpture in her living room. The sculpture is made from the metal debris at Ground Zero. "You have no warning. You open the door and there's this sculpture. You're happy, but you're also upset to get it."
I neither sew nor sculpt. What can I do? What can you do?
This summer Bram Murphy threw a party in Bedford for Jessica's seventh birthday. "The parties are still hard for me," she admits. She has become accustomed to Brian's absence on special occasions and she adjusts to it, but it still hurts. A few weeks after the party, the girls' day camp held a visiting day for parents. As has become typical for Bram Murphy at events like that, she found herself with a mix of emotions: happy, excited, and proud of her children; comforted that Brian was in some way present; sad and lonely that he was gone. "Those sorts of days," she says, "are the most difficult — when both parents are supposed to be there."
Brian Murphy should still be there. Perhaps the lesson for all of us to be there, wherever we are, today.

Jessica Simpson got a crash course in tuna fish Monday when the endearing dimwit attended a staff meeting at Chicken of the Sea's San Diego headquarters. (Simpson admitted on a recent episode of her MTV hit Newlyweds that she thought Chicken of the Sea was actually made of chicken. Cue laugh track.) "We wanted to bring her down and make sure she understood the difference," says company exec Don George, who kept mum on rumors that Simpson is still trying to find her way out of the building.

Solo artist Jonah August preps for upcoming album
Culture / October 20, 2015
Expands home studio in preparation for debut
Jonah August left home at 18 years old. Scraping together as much survival money as he could, he moved up to Salmon Arm, BC where he worked at a tree nursery and wrote his first record. Despite having a multi-instrumentalist for a father and playing bass in his brother's band, August had never shown a particularly keen interest in music before picking up an acoustic guitar. His move to Salmon Arm sparked the beginning of a long and intense journey with music that, now, has produced two EP's: first, There Was Snow at Your Funeral, shortly followed by Elder.
Now that he's living back home in Chilliwack, August has started working on his self-proclaimed debut album. "I would consider the first two demos," he explains, "because what I'm doing now is such a step up."
Both There Was Snow at Your Funeral and Elder are high-quality, unique records chock full of emotion. Each song presents delightfully melancholy, finger-picked melodies paired with August's low and gentle vibrato. If what he's is brewing up in his home studio beats the old records by such a long shot, we're certainly in for a treat with the next one.
Over the summer, August wrote a whopping 19 songs for the new album, 14 of which should make it onto the track list (the other five could possibly be compiled as an EP, which would come out just before it). This might seem like a lot to do within a year, but for August, it's ample time. He's off of school, off of work, and expanding his home studio as best he can in preparation for the debut. The goal is to be done recording by his 20th birthday in March, which should be a piece of cake for the musician, as he finished his first EP within a month and his second in three weeks.
"If you're serious about songwriting and you want to have an impact on someone, you have to live the music. You have to let it be your life, or when someone realizes that you're a jerk but you write beautiful songs, they're going to ask, 'How does that work?'"
August plays, records, and produces every part of his work, regardless of the instrument. In other words, if you can hear it, he's behind it. This becomes even more impressive when you realize his situation—everything he's ever put out has been taped in his house using (gasp!) Garageband. The software has an unnecessarily bad rep, but that's not stopping August from doing his best with it.
"I'm not embarrassed," he says. "There's just so many bad things said about Garageband that I'm successfully going to record a whole album on it."
Although he's channeling more time and effort into the upcoming album than ever before, he's still recording from home on a computer, without needing help from anyone else. This lone wolf mentality doesn't just apply to Jonah as an artist, though—it's an integral part of his personality. In his high school years, Jonah regularly went off on unchaperoned adventures. To cure his adolescent shyness, he'd hitchhike with complete strangers just to force himself into conversation.
"Especially when I was 16, I'd go down to the ferry terminal and hop a ferry to the island, hang out for a week and sleep on the beach and stuff. I was living with my mom and she'd be at work, and I'd just ditch school. I was gone for like, two-and-a-half weeks on Vancouver Island once. I recommend it for able-bodied, young men to better yourselves a little bit."
With every album, the artist focuses on a new theme. This album's subject is simple: honesty. "I'm not going to be abstract about the lyrics," Jonah explains. "I'm just going to be honest about the point I'm trying to get across." This contrasts to his past releases, which were driven mainly by emotions and concepts, and therefore were more abstruse.
Another new contribution on the LP is the addition of drums. August decided to add percussion due to the "lack of rhythm in the other EPs," and plans on adding more instruments into the mix, too. It's bound to be an exciting project for the artist, who is going into it with enthusiasm and a critical mindset.
"I get so worked up about the details. Like, I get headaches," he laughs. But it's that kind of meticulous care for his work that creates such a clean, interesting product.

Donald M. Brandt, Individually and as the Personal Representative of the Estate of Janice N. Brandt, Deceased, Appellant,
Elizabeth K. Gooding and Gooding & Gooding, P.A., Respondents.
Appeal from
Paul M. Burch, Circuit Court Judge
Opinion No. 26135
Heard January 20, 2005 - Filed April 10, 2006
Jack B. Swerling, of
Columbia; and Richard A. Harpootlian, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Amanda G. Steinmeyer and Daniel A. Speights, both of Speights & Runyan, of Hampton; and Joel W. Collins, Jr., and Joseph S. McCue, both of Collins & Lacy, of Columbia, for Respondents.
CHIEF JUSTICE TOAL: This is a legal malpractice action. The trial court granted summary judgment, found the plaintiff to be in contempt, and dismissed the complaint as a sanction. In addition, the trial court sentenced the plaintiff to six months imprisonment, issued a restraining order, and awarded court costs and attorneys' fees to the defendant. The plaintiff appealed. We hold that the trial court properly granted summary judgment, and properly issued criminal and civil contempt sanctions. Additionally, the court correctly awarded costs. Therefore, we affirm.
Factual / Procedural Background
This legal malpractice action arose out of a land transaction in
In 1999, the court dismissed the claims against Summers and Edisto Farm. The court found that those parties were sham parties named in the complaint by Brandt to establish venue in
During discovery, Brandt produced a document (Edisto Farm Letter), which appeared to have been sent by Summers of Edisto Farm to Brandt on September 18, 1995. Brandt also provided the letter to his malpractice expert, Professor John Freeman. The letter was introduced in Professor Freeman's deposition and used by him to opine that Gooding had committed malpractice. Brandt first caused the document to enter the case on April 3, 2001 when he provided a supplemental response to a request to produce. In addition, Brandt introduced the deposition into evidence in the case as an attachment to his Memorandum in Support of Motion for Reconsideration on January 18, 2002.
The document, if authentic, would have imputed knowledge to Gooding of a conflict of interest related to the representation of Brandt in the land transaction. But Gooding claimed that the document was fraudulent, and as a result, requested a hearing to determine whether the document was authentic. In addition, Gooding asked the court to issue a citation of contempt if the document proved to be a forgery. However, the circuit court judge delayed a contempt hearing until it could be determined if the document was authentic.
In subsequent motions before a second circuit court judge (trial court), Gooding moved for summary judgment, dismissal of the cause of action, and contempt. At the hearing on the second motions, Gooding presented the testimony of Marvin Dawson (
Although Brandt was not represented by counsel, Brandt cross-examined
The trial court found Brandt introduced a fraudulent document into a court proceeding. As a result, the trial court dismissed the complaint with prejudice as a sanction. In addition, the trial court granted summary judgment. The trial court also held Brandt in criminal contempt for perpetrating a fraud upon the court and sentenced him to six-months imprisonment. Finally, the trial court awarded court and attorneys' fees to Gooding. Subsequent to the trial court's finding that the Summers letter was fraudulent, Professor Freeman withdrew his opinion, stating:
The Court's meticulously detailed Order finds that the Brandt letter was "fabricated, forged and fraudulent," and the [sic] Mr. Brandt committed a fraud on the Court in bringing the evidence forward . . . it appears to me that my services were used in an attempt to perpetrate a fraud on the Court.
. . . .
. . . I have no choice but to withdraw and disaffirm my opinion testimony offered in the Gooding case.
Brandt filed a motion for reconsideration. The trial court suspended the sentence pending review. Upon review, the trial court sustained its earlier ruling and Brandt was taken into custody. Another motion for reconsideration was filed and denied. Brandt appealed.
This Court certified the following issues for review from the court of appeals pursuant to Rule 204(b), SCACR:
I. Did the trial court have the authority to hold a contempt proceeding even though the first judge ruled that a contempt hearing should be delayed?
II. Did the trial court err in granting summary judgment?
III. Did the trial court err in dismissing the complaint as a sanction for civil contempt of court?
IV. Did the trial court err in holding Brandt in direct criminal contempt?
V. Did the trial court err in issuing a restraining order?
VI. Did the trial court err in awarding attorneys' fees and costs?
Law / Analysis
I. Authority of the Trial Court
Brandt argues that the trial court did not have subject matter jurisdiction to grant summary judgment or cite him for contempt of court.[2] We disagree.
When determining whether to grant summary judgment, a court must examine both the facts and the law. Royster Co. v. Eastern Distribution, Inc., 301 S.C. 18, 20, 389 S.E.2d 863, 864 (1990). Because a court must conduct the examination of law and facts, such an examination constitutes a trial.
In support of his argument that the trial court did not have the authority to rule on contempt, Brandt relies on authority that prohibits one circuit court judge from reversing the standing order of another circuit court judge. For example, in Cook v. Taylor, this Court held that a circuit court judge does not have the authority to reverse another circuit court judge's determination of the proper mode of trial. 272 S.C. 536, 538, 252 S.E.2d 923, 924 (1979). Moreover, a circuit court judge cannot deny the use of an amended complaint in light of an order of another circuit judge that permitted use of the amended complaint.
In the present case, the first judge issued an order on Gooding's motion for a rule to show cause as to whether the Edisto Farm Letter was authentic. If the letter was proven to be a forgery, Gooding wanted to go forward with contempt proceedings against Brandt. The first judge dismissed the petition without prejudice because a contempt proceeding was premature until after the document's authenticity was determined. In addition, the first judge established a procedure to examine the document and examples of similar documents from Edisto Farm. In essence, the first judge took the logical steps to leave the issue of contempt to be addressed after such a determination had been made. Gooding then brought subsequent motions before the trial court with testimony from an expert that the document was a forgery. In the second battery of motions, Gooding moved for summary judgment, for citation of contempt, and for dismissal of the complaint. After a hearing, the trial court granted summary judgment, dismissed the complaint, and held Brandt in contempt of court.
Because the first judge delayed a contempt hearing, the trial court did not reverse a standing order of the first judge. Instead, the trial court acted in accordance with the steps outlined by the first judge and ruled on the issue of contempt after the document's authenticity could be determined. Accordingly, we hold that the trial court had the authority to grant summary judgment.
II. Summary Judgment
Brandt contends that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of Gooding. We disagree.
Summary judgment is appropriate when it is clear that there is no genuine issue of material fact, and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Summer v. Carpenter, 328 S.C. 36, 42, 492 S.E.2d 55, 58 (1997). In determining whether any triable issue of fact exists, the evidence and all inferences which can be reasonably drawn therefrom must be viewed in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party.
In a legal malpractice action, a plaintiff must prove that (1) the defendant was negligent, (2) the defendant's negligence proximately caused the plaintiff's injuries, and (3) damages resulted. Summer, 328 S.C. at 42, 492 S.E.2d at 58.
In the present case, the trial court granted summary judgment on the ground that Gooding did not proximately cause Brandt any injury. In addition, the trial court found that because the case against Lombard in the
Because Brandt did not suffer any injury, we hold that the trial court did not err in granting summary judgment.
III. Civil Contempt
Brandt contends that the trial court erred ordering civil contempt and dismissing the complaint as a sanction for the contempt. We disagree.
Courts have the power to punish for both civil and criminal contempt. In re Brown, 333 S.C. 414, 420, 511 S.E.2d 351, 355 (1998). On appeal, a decision regarding contempt should be reversed only if it is without evidentiary support or the trial judge has abused his discretion. Stone v. Reddix-Smalls, 295 S.C. 514, 516, 369 S.E.2d 840, 840-41 (1988) (citing Means v. Means, 277 S.C. 428, 431, 288 S.E.2d 811, 812-813 (1982)).
A defendant may move to dismiss the plaintiff's complaint on the ground that the plaintiff has no right to relief based on the facts and the law. Rule 41, SCRCP; Shepard v. S.C. Dept. of Corrections, 299 S.C. 370, 372, 385 S.E.2d 35, 36 (Ct. App. 1989). Furthermore, a complaint may be dismissed with prejudice for failure to comply with these rules or any other order of the court. Rule 41(b), SCRCP
In the present case, the trial court found Brandt to be in contempt of court for introducing a fraudulent document. In response, the trial court dismissed the complaint as a sanction for perpetrating a fraud upon the court.
We hold that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the complaint as a sanction for civil contempt. Dismissal of the complaint is a proper sanction against a complainant who submits fraudulent documents to the court. Therefore, we affirm the trial court's decision.
IV. Criminal Contempt
Brandt contends the trial court erred in holding him in direct criminal contempt. We disagree.
It is within the trial court's discretion to punish by fine or imprisonment all contempts of authority before the court. S.C. Code Ann. § 14-5-320 (1976). In addition, courts have the inherent power to punish for offenses that are calculated to obstruct, degrade, and undermine the administration of justice. State ex rel. McLeod v. Hite, 272 S.C. 303, 305, 251 S.E.2d 746, 747 (1979).
Direct contempt involves contemptuous conduct in the presence of the court. State v. Kennerly, 337 S.C. 617, 620, 524 S.E.2d 837, 838 (1999). A person may be found guilty of direct contempt if the conduct interferes with judicial proceedings, exhibits disrespect for the court, or hampers the parties or witnesses. State v. Havelka, 285 S.C. 388, 389, 330 S.E.2d 288 (1985). Direct contempt that occurs in the court's presence may be immediately adjudged and sanctioned summarily. Int'l Union, United Mine Workers of Am. v. Bagwell, 512
This Court has recognized that depositions are judicial proceedings and are within the "presence of the court." Matter of Golden, 329 S.C. 335, 496 S.E.2d 619 (1998). In Golden, the Court held that "although a deposition is not conducted in a courtroom in the presence of a judge, it is nonetheless a judicial setting." Because there is no presiding authority, it is even more incumbent upon attorneys to conduct themselves in a professional and civil manner during a deposition.
In the present case, the record shows that Brandt presented a fraudulent document to the court. The document was introduced at the deposition of Professor John Freeman. In addition, the deposition was introduced into evidence in the case as an attachment to his Memorandum in Support of Motion for Reconsideration. Further, the record shows that Brandt was the sole cause of the introduction of the document into this case when he provided a supplemental response to the request to produce one day before Professor Freeman's deposition. We hold that the introduction of the document into the deposition constituted an introduction of the document into the presence of the court, warranting a citation for direct contempt.
Therefore, we hold that the trial court did not err in citing Brandt for direct criminal contempt.
V. Restraining Order
Brandt argues that the trial court abused its discretion by issuing a restraining order. We disagree.
The decision of whether to issue a restraining order is within the trial judge's discretion. State v. Hill, 266 S.C. 49, 52, 221 S.E.2d 398, 399 (1976).
In the present case, the record indicates that the judge did not abuse his discretion when he issued a restraining order. Brandt testified that he would spend ten years and a million dollars to get justice against Summers and Edisto Farm Credit. Further, Brandt used threatening conduct toward parties involved in the litigation. For example, Brandt told Ronald Summers, after he was dismissed from the lawsuit, that he "wasn't out of the woods yet."
The issuance of a restraining order was arguably necessary to prevent Brandt from harassing Gooding and other parties involved in the litigation. Therefore, we hold that the trial court did not abuse its discretion.
VI. Fees and Costs
Brandt contends that the trial court erred in awarding attorneys' fees and costs. We disagree.
An award of attorneys' fees and costs is a discretionary matter not to be overturned absent abuse by the trial court. Donahue v. Donahue, 299 S.C. 353, 365, 384 S.E.2d 741, 748 (1989). An award for civil contempt is appropriate when a party has caused unnecessary litigious activity as a result of the contemptuous behavior. Curlee v. Howe, 277 S.C. 377, 386, 287 S.E.2d 915, 920 (1982).
In the present case, Brandt presented a fraudulent document. The introduction of this document unnecessarily prolonged this case. Therefore, the award of fees and costs is an appropriate award because of the unnecessary litigation directly related to the introduction of the letter. Accordingly, we affirm the award.
In sum, we hold that summary judgment was proper. Additionally, the citations for civil and criminal contempt were proper. Finally, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in issuing a restraining order and awarding attorneys' fees and costs. Accordingly, the ruling of the trial court is affirmed.
MOORE, WALLER, BURNETT and PLEICONES, JJ., concur.

Karen C. Winckler
Karen Winckler's legal career has centered on criminal defense, both in state and federal courts. Ms. Winckler joined the firm following a judicial clerkship with U.S. District Judge Philip M. Pro in Las Vegas. Since that time she has passionately and aggressively defended her many clients. In 1995, Ms. Winckler filed a federal class action suit to address the constitutionality of the practice in Clark County, Nevada, of arresting and holding criminal defendants for eight days without bringing them before a judge. The federal court found this procedure unconstitutional and ordered the State to release inmates within 48 hours after arrest unless the Justice Court found additional time was needed for investigation, such as in murder cases, a rule that remains in effect. In 1997, Ms. Winckler was named Defender of the Year by the Nevada Attorneys for Criminal Justice.

How Low Can Interest Rates Go?
Much lower, says Senior Fixed Income Strategist Doug Drabik – if central banks continue to intercede.
Yields around the globe have fallen precipitously in the last year largely as a consequence to struggling global economies and central bank responses. This has had a significant impact on the U.S. Treasury yield curve, a line that plots the yields of U.S. Treasury securities.
All eyes on the inversion
Generally, the yield curve is positively sloped, as it rewards investment in longer-term maturities (with greater market risk) with relatively higher rates of return versus those with shorter-term maturities (less market risk). However, under certain economic circumstances, this curve can become negatively sloped and thus "inverted" (i.e., when bonds with shorter-term maturities have higher yields than those with longer-term maturities). When the curve is inverted, it often signals that something is amiss. This is why inverted yield curves are so often considered an indicator of a looming economic recession or an end to an economic cycle.
In the U.S., yields on Treasuries with long-term maturities have recently fallen more than those with short-term maturities, causing several key points along the Treasury yield curve to invert. The spread between the 2-year/10-year Treasuries inverted briefly for 12 days at the end of August, while the 3-month/10-year spread has remained inverted for a little over four months. While such inversions are often alarming to investors (as evidenced by the volatility immediately following the 2-year/10-year inversion), several key factors would suggest that the U.S. yield curve has been influenced to a greater degree by certain global circumstances that bear mentioning.
International influences
The lack of inflation and slowing economic growth around the world (especially outside of the U.S.) has prompted central banks to assume increasingly accommodative monetary policies. This has included cutting interest rates and implementing asset purchase programs in an attempt to stimulate slumping economic growth and inflation. The asset purchase programs directly influence lower global interest rates. Through quantitative easing, the world's four major central banks (the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, and the People's Bank of China) have swelled their combined balance sheets to ~$19.4 trillion (up over 200% since the start of the Great Recession). In many markets (most notably, Europe and Japan), negative interest rates have become commonplace and total worldwide debt with negative yields has recently crested at over $17 trillion.
The current global interest rate environment and growing worldwide uncertainty has, in turn, swayed investors into both a flight to quality and search for yield. The U.S. bond market, albeit historically low in yield, boasts comparatively high interest rates and a strong credit standing. Thus, the subsequent demand for U.S. debt has been a significant headwind to higher interest rates. Volatility along the yield curve has been rewarding for investors that took on duration. For example, the 30-year Treasury (3.375% coupon, maturing 11/15/48) that closed 2018 at around $107 was valued at $132 in early September. That equates to a total return of approximately 32.3%. Metaphorically, longer-duration bonds have been on fire, and although many bond investors don't employ bonds as total return investments, the total returns have outperformed most other asset classes this year.
How low can they go?
Market uncertainty culminates with the often-asked question "how low can interest rates go?" Many pundits suggest that rates have a barrier or minimum level at which investors will engage. Clearly, we have not reached such a point, nor does anyone know whether one actually exists. Overseas, the European Central Bank declared its willingness to use any and all means at its disposal to stimulate the economy, as evidenced by its recent announcement of a new round of monthly asset purchases.
Domestically, the U.S. may be swayed toward choices that prevent the dollar from getting too strong and/or interest rates too varied from global rates. Even with our still-growing economy and robust employment, the Federal Reserve has lowered rates twice this year. The bottom line is that global influences will impact interest rates more than the economy here in the U.S. As long as the world's central banks continue to intercede, it is very plausible to conclude that interest rates can go much lower.
Keep a long-term perspective
Despite lower interest rates, it is imperative that investors maintain asset allocation discipline. Individual bonds provide consistent income, predictable cash flow, and greater protection of principal. These features hold true at any interest rate level. As shown during recent bouts of volatility this year, longer-duration assets fared extremely well. Being cognizant of reinvestment risk is just as important (if not more important) than duration risk in the current environment. In order to weather the volatility, investors must stay true to their long-term financial plans.

One of my patients today presented concerned about potential problems with Group B Streptococcus.
What is Group B streptococcus (GBS)?
Between 20-30% of men and women in the UK have colonisation with Group B streptococcus (GBS) which is a normal bacterium which colonises , usually without symptoms or side effects. GBS can, however, occasionally cause serious infections, usually in newborn babies.
GBS is not a sexually transmitted disease and treatment of a woman and of her partner carrying GBS does not prevent recurrence. Importantly, most women who have GBS do not pass it on to their babies. Most babies are born well, with no medical consequences. However, a few do go on to get the infection which can be serious.
Guidance from the Royal college of Obstetrics and Gynaecologists is that only mothers at high risk of having GBS should receive IV antibiotics prior to labour.

Whilst this mousse does contain a little blue cheese, I have found over the years, that even those people who are not fans of blue cheese, love this mousse! The blue cheese is not obvious but rather adds an incredible depth of flavour. This is ideal as a make ahead option for a drinks party or also works perfectly as a starter (that can be made the day before and kept in the fridge) or even as the final course of a formal meal (to replace the dessert course or instead of a cheese board). It is also lovely served with caramelised onion marmalade or poached pears and walnuts as an accompaniment.
2 x 250g tubs smooth cream cheese
60g blue cheese, crumbled (such as Gorgonzola)
250ml (1 cup) good quality mayonnaise
40ml powdered gelatine
5mls (1 teaspoon) sugar
250ml (1 cup) mushroom stock (you can use vegetable or chicken stock instead)
250mls (1 cup) crème fraiche
5mls (1 teaspoon) paprika
5mls (1 teaspoon) salt
- Heat the stock till quite warm but not too hot. Sprinkle the gelatine powder over the surface of the stock until it sponges. Then stir until the gelatine is dissolved.
- Using a food processor or blender, blend the cream cheese, crumbled blue cheese, mayonnaise, crème fraiche and seasoning until it is just combined and smooth.
- Add the gelatine and stock mixture and briefly blend again until combined.
- Pour into a lightly oiled mould (6-8 small individual moulds depending on their size or one round ring-shaped mould) and allow to set in the fridge for a few hours.
*You could use gelatine leaves instead of powdered gelatine. In this case use about 8 sheets that have been soaked in water for about 5 minutes, squeeze off excess water and stir into the warm stock.

Annual General Meeting update
The FCRA hosted another successful AGM at Science World on December 3, 2015.
Association Co-Chairs Patsy McMillan and Fern Jeffries circulated their 2015 Report highlighting the advocacy work undertaken by the association on a range of issues. This included an update on the Greening the Creek Light Campaign, which has neighbours shining green lights in their windows calling for the City of Vancouver and Concord Pacific to fulfill a decades-old contractual obligation to complete Creekside Park and the Seawall.
After a lightning round of brainstorming 2016 priorities for the False Creek Residents Association, we turned the floor to our guest presenters.
Speakers from Providence Health Care talked about how the new St. Paul's Hospital—to be built on a vacant lot near Main Street and Terminal Avenue—is expected to shape the future of health care provision.
Neil MacConnell, the project lead, explained how the new facility will provide residential care for the elderly and infirm, mental health and addiction services and a 24-7 integrated care centre to divert patients away from emergency departments.
St. Paul's new one-million-square-foot campus will cost as much as $1.2 billion. So far, the government has agreed to contribute $500 million to the effort. Providence is expected to complete its business case over the next year, tender by the second half of 2016 and begin construction in 2017. The False Creek site is expected to open in 2023.
The evening closed with a fond farewell to Fern Jeffries, Co-Chair since the FCRA's inception, who was instrumental in shaping the organization into what it is today.
And we thanked Deb Barker for her years of invaluable service and lively Facebook posts.
Joe Thompson also left the board, and we welcomed new members
Renée de St. Croix (and Mick Slivecko post meeting).
As we embark on a series of major projects within the city that will affect our False Creek neighbourhood, it's more important than ever to showcase the central role played by residents. A successful project is a collaborative affair with widespread support and involvement from the local community. We look forward to working with you in 2016!

Albert Bonniers förlag, 2007. ISBN: 9789100110772
Reviewed by Sarah Death in SBR 2008:2
Seasoned author Peter Kihlgård is bidding for our attention with an experiment in form. Events in his latest novel spool backwards, which certainly caused a stir among the reviewers and helped the book take up residence in the Swedish bestseller lists. The publisher describes it as "a story of two modern people who love each other. In spite of everything and for the rest of their lives", but the rather shocking first chapter intimates a suicide pact that would cut those lives very short indeed.
The chapters, written in the third person but alternating the viewpoints of Kicki and Lasse, are choppy, stream of consciousness fragments, like tantalising pieces of the puzzle we are invited to put together. Their torrid relationship is playful and painful, farcical and erotically charged, interrupted but always resumed. It is a source of sorrow to them both that they are childless, and that their hopes of adoption are dashed when the authorities uncover Lasse's murky past.
Lasse is a gentle giant with large hands and a croaky voice, and prone to outbursts of violent rage. He runs a successful jeans manufacturing company, but has a history as a petty criminal, speed-maniac rally driver and downhill skier. Quicksilver Kicki has dabbled in careers in fashion, arts and the media, but is permanently restless and changes jobs as often as she changes flats – and sexual partners. The only fixed thing in her chaotic universe is Lasse, her champion.
She is the brains, he is the brawn. Admittedly it is not a wild boar or a menhir with which Lasse manfully staggers home across Stockholm one night, it is his beloved Kicki, but once I had started thinking of them in terms of those loyal comrades in arms, Obelix and Asterix, I could not get the image out of my head. The piggyback ride is a metaphor for Kicki and Lasse's fraught yet close relationship: it strikes Lasse that although Kicki was a heavy burden, it was probably even harder for her to stay clinging on. One Swedish critic rightly characterised their relationship as a folie à deux.
What binds this odd couple is certainly the most interesting aspect of the novel, and it is signalled by a dust-jacket design in which their names are dwarfed by an enormous ampersand. They are trapped in a continuous, linked cycle for which Kihlgård offers another image: the paternoster lift. Lasse's grandfather made his fortune manufacturing them, and they have played a part in Lasse's life since birth. The back leaf of the dust jacket provides pictures of a nineteenth-century design for just such a lift.
Seven-eighths of the way through the book, I still had no idea what welded these two individuals together. The last two chapters, the farcical family dinner party (hailed by the Swedish critics as a comic tour de force) and the final, chapter O Magnum Mysterium do at last unlock the secret. We meet the appalling mother from whom Kicki made her urgent escape into an adult world all too ready to exploit her youth and beauty. We witness the bizarre turn of events in a drifting Lasse's life, the circumstances of his first encounter with Kicki and the mutually redemptive nature of their union.
But so what? My problem with this, for me, essentially nasty-tasting story was that I could not bring myself to care about the characters. Kicki is revealed as a volatile exhibitionist, infantile, sadistic and promiscuous. Lasse, a psychologically unconvincing character for my money, comes across as a morally confused but essentially decent dupe, a man in the grip of an obsession, who at one stage asks himself: "When would he start being able to defend himself against the power she wielded over him?"
Are we meant to see the pair as traumatised victims of life, clinging together for comfort? Perhaps the book is meant to mimic psychoanalysis, taking us further and further back in their lives until we finally think we understand what makes them tick. But nothing is quite what it seems: Kicki and Lasse are mythologisers, who create the legend of themselves by telling each other stories about their families, and re-enacting scenes from their past, confusing the chronology of the novel and the reliability of the narrative still further. Are those distinctive marks under Lasse's eyes tattoos, we wonder, or scars from the time Kicki tried to claw his eyes out? The novel provides no answers.
One thing never in doubt is the quality of the writing in this book. Kihlgård's stylish narrative bowls along, zinging with arresting imagery and incisive, throwaway observations on everyday life. A group of fluorescent-vested pre-schoolers are described as "brightly coloured, miniature camp inmates, begging him with reproachful looks to save them from the idiotic cheeriness that only nursery teachers, their cheeks rosy with integrity and caffeine, can chirrup forth". When Kicki repairs her make-up, she has "so much black around her eyes that it looked as if her irises had sprung a leak and overflowed", and as Lasse's pulse rate rises, it pounds "like a pair of trainers in a tumble dryer". A real linguistic treat.

Resolution #6: Know and Act on a Priorty
I had this grand vision, see, of getting it right this year-- 30 resolutions in 30 days, and they were going to be numbered, written and released on the calendar days corresponding.
"If you want to make the Gods laugh, make a plan", some smartypants pantheist said.
Thursday night I planned to go to the Arts Care exhibit opening at the Arts Center-- two of my dear friends, who are wonderful artists and stellar vessels of love and light, were showing some of the work they do as part of a community project bringing healing creativity to the ill. I've been making art (or at least watching them make it) with these and 6 other women on the coast during twice yearly retreats for 18 years. But a few days ago we found that one of our own was diagnosed with a Really Scary Illness, so the remainder of us gathered tonight to send our loving intentions to her from too far away as she faces surgery tomorrow. We broke bread, lit candles, sang out to her, made an alter of her pictures (she has the most whimsical smile), and told stories as we held her in our circle.
I left at 8 explaining I had to go fulfill this commitment I'd made to blog a resolution a day throughout January. We'd done what we'd come to do; it was fine.
I got home and debriefed a rough, sad day with my sweetheart, who stroked my arm, listened and was the triple C we all love him for (cool, calm and collected). When he asked me how I was doing, I said I was so sad my stomach hurt. Huh, he said, mine's feeling a little funny too. I said I was sorry if I had upset him and he said no, I think it was something I ate. There was a quick little transition from normal sweetie to the kid in the exorcist-- like in seconds. I will not fill in the blanks for you but it ended with him too weak to talk or walk, pale and clammy, 911, the whole circus show.
Meanwhile in the ER I get a message from my sister in KC, stupid-thirty in the morning her time, that our dad's on his way to the ER there. Haven't heard a follow-up but they thought it would be a quick visit to deal with some equipment fail issues and then he's back to acute care rehab.
By the time we got home it was 2 am, sweetie was no longer a Horror Fountain or jellyfish and my midnight deadline had come and gone without the day's blog. Amazing what a few pints of rehydration, 6 hot blankets, 2 SWEET nurses (yea Lindsey! yea Laura!) and he is off to sleep the sleep of the just and the just real tired.
More on this theme in tomorrow's /today's blog, Dealing with Bloody Reality As it Is, Even When It Stinks. Though if memory serves, it had a gentler title when I first thought of writing it. And I will try to stay on track, God Willing and the Crik Don't Rise. Meanwhile I am using my vast knowledge of criminal thinking errors (justification, uniqueness) to say I am STILL ON TRACK: it's still Thursday to me since I've not been to bed.
Some ideas to consider if you take this resolution as homework:
What is calling for my attention? Whose need is greatest? What would future self want present self to do now? Notice a priority in your life and give it its due today. Maybe that's getting to the gym, maybe it's calling your mother to tell her you love her. I trust you. You'll figure it out.
We have competing agendas all the time. For this resolution, look at your priorities and see what truly needs your attention and will best serve a pressing need. Remember to count yourself in the equation need-wise.
As in , right now, I need to get some sleep.
ps-- this photo isn't mine because i did not make the summit that day-- Thanks to photog/mountain goat Tom Brennan for the shot.

Jana, I am so sad that you have been going through all of this. It reminds me of recent times in my own life, dire ilness and crisis and love being the engine that got me through it and moved me forward.
Know (and you do) that your own engine is fully supplied!

I received the following comments from an outside reviewer: > The text should not state a MUST requirement (section 7.3, > paragraph 3) and then later revoke that requirement by permiting > servers to implement the original behavior. It seems that locking > an unmapped URL MAY (or SHOULD, but not MUST) result in the > creation of a non-collection result with empty content, but that > regardless the indicated URL MUST be locked. I'm fine with making this change if others agree. I could argue that any server claiming compliance with "bis" can be required to implement the new locking behavior and we don't need to make the old behavior a specific option, but I think it's also reasonable to make the old behavior a specific option. > > It would help if there was descriptions of how clients should > perform actions portably given that MAY. For example: > - if a client locks an unmapped URL and then decides to COPY or MOVE > another resource to that name, it needs to include an "Overwrite: T" > header in the COPY/MOVE > - similarly, if it changes its mind and decided to not create the > resource, it needs to use DELETE instead of UNLOCK > - if a client wants to creat a new, empty collection and lock it, the > client should not pipeline a MKCOL and LOCK but rather do the > MKCOL and > only send a LOCK if it succeeds. Pipelining them can result in the > client locking a collection that someone else created or even the > locking of something other than a collection. (Or maybe I'm > overlooking something here...) > I agree with the reviewer that this would be useful guidance to client implementors, and propose to add a subsection to Appendix D (Lock-Null resources) that is non-normative.

Holiday weekends are tough on Geeks. We are supposed to be doing things outside, with family, going to community or family outings and cookouts. When all we really want to do is that geeky project we have been putting off and now we have the time to do it. Saturday, I pulled the trigger on integrating two blogs into one. It wasn't as pretty a picture as I had hoped but all is well.
The Combining of Tucson Real Estate in the News with Tucson Real Estate
I wrote about the testing process and how that had gone on last Monday, my internet day in Hell so to speak. I planned and planned and did more testing on how to pull of this integration project.
I thought I had it pretty well worked out DUH!
First I created the 301 redirect file for all the blog posts 250 + of those. Then I did backups and more backups and wrote down the procedure like it was a check off for a NASA lift-off.
When I ran the test integration last week I noticed the pages which were duplicate on each site were integrated so I had 2 contact pages and 2 sitemap pages and 2 archive pages, etc. I didn't want to have to delete all these duplicates once the integration was complete. I deleted each of the duplicate pages from the original blog before exporting the files.
The procedure I followed to the best of my memory LOL
- Delete the duplicate pages from the News Blog (the one being integrated)
- Export the pages, posts, categories, comments, tags using the Export Function under the Manage tab.
- Backup the receiving blog database using the WP Backup plugin
- Backup the content using the same Export function above
- Import the file created from the News Blog into the Tucson Real Estate Blog
- Upload the new .htaccess file with the 301 redirects
- Process complete go do something else (This didn't happen)
Where it all went wrong
Everything proceeded according to plan till I got to step 5. After the first 65 post were integrated I got an Apache server error. I think it timed out. I repeated the process it passed those first 65 posts and said "already exists" it added another 65 posts till I got the same error. There were 250 + posts to integrate so it took 5 times running the import process to get to the bottom of the list and have the "All Done" message show up at the bottom.
Duplicate posts 5 copies
Not all the post were imported 5 times, it seemed two or three posts which were on the bubble of the 65 time out limit each time were added each time I did the import, even though it said "Already exists".
The solution: I went to the manage tab and went month by month and removed all but the first import of the post. Everything about those posts was imported so it didn't really matter which one I deleted just so I got it down to one.
The News blog had 7 months of content predating the other blog that is where I found the most duplicates, once I got to where those post were integrated into existing post the duplicates stopped.
Duplicate Categories
This got a little trickier. It duplicated the categories as well but it showed 4 of them with no posts in the category and all the posts in the first one created. This meant I had to be careful to delete only the empty duplicates (which I did).
I had one category show up as empty which I knew had 9 posts associated with it. Rather than try and figure out what this might be caused I I decided to close the browser now that the duplicate posts and categories had been taken care of and reopen. That did it. That category filled with the 9 posts.
The .htaccess file and redirect 301 saga
I thought it might take a little time for the new .htaccess file to "catch". I was wrong! I got 500 server errors immediately and after waiting an hour switched back to the old file, immediately everything was back. What to do.
Try adding a few redirect lines at a time instead of all of them at once.
First 10 went well. Second 10 didn't Then a light bulb went on.
The Easy Solutions that took hours to figure out
I had moved all the posts and categories and the permalink structure was the same on both blogs, (THIS IS IMPORTANT WHEN COMBINING TWO BLOGS) Maybe all I had to do was redirect the main directory change and that would be all I needed. A single line instead of 250+ lines.
I took the old .htaccess file and added this line
redirect 310 /tucson-real-estate-blog/ http://www.tucsonazrealestateblog.com/
The important part was that final / at the end of the redirect. It worked prefect. Hours of creating a huge .htaccess file with lines of 301 redirects wasn't necessary and besides, it didn't work.
What's happened since Saturday Aug. 30, 2008
The reader reported from Feedburner have gone from 32 to 74 as of this writing. The news blog was showing 87 readers when I made the integration.
The blogtopsites went from 56 to 27 as of this moment. Traffic to the site hasn't doubled but it has increased significantly and I suspect as the week progresses the desired effect of combining Google juice and incoming links will have the desired effect. I'll write an update on the progress in a month. (Note to self Oct. 1 blog post on the integration of the two blogs).
Blogroll Change Request
If you have linked to Tucson Real Estate In the News http://www.barbaralasky.com/tucson-real-estate-blog/ in your blogroll, would you please change the link to http://www.tucsonazrealestateblog.com I would really appreciate it.

- Wedding: November 2014
I'm lucky to have a very creative bridal party who are willing to help with anything? I'm having a fall wedding and looking for some crafty ideas for my girls and I to work on.
I'm lucky to have a very creative bridal party who are willing to help with anything? I'm having a fall wedding and looking for some crafty ideas for my girls and I to work on.
@sirenoftheflame: Tell us more about your wedding- colors, theme, venue, etc.
Do you have a Pinterest account? Check for DIY ideas there.
The theme we are going with is fall harvest. Haven't picked our colors yet but have narrowed it down to dark red, plum, orange, and possibly brown or black. We also haven't booked a reception hall yet but will be getting married at our local church. My fiancee is a police officer so we have to wait on booking the church and hall until he can offically take off for our wedding next year lol.
Glitter leaves garland- made with artificial leaves covered in glue and glitter
Bling pumpkins
wind inexpensive plastic beads on an artificial pumpkin
Paper book pumpkins
Lots more ideas for pumpkins here:
grapevine balls wrapped in mini lights
candles wrapped in cinammon sticks- maybe just do votives
@sirenoftheflame: mini pumkins/gourds/dried flowers for tables/pinecones/paper flowers (which sounds strange to some but if you make them well they are super cool)
skip favors (I know this isn't DIY, but it's a $$ saver!!)
I did dried lavender for the BMs and GMs and it was inexpensive as a whole, and beautiful (I can give you the etsy seller's shop if you want it)
Make your own card box (we made one for about $20)
before you rent linens (if it's something you are considering)- check out buying them. It was actually LESS to buy than to rent for us, and we just had to do a little ironing.
When I think of Fall Harvest I think rustic, so I hope these pics are in the direction your wanting to go.
We did a fall theme for our October wedding, and one of the DIY projects we did was for the tables. We collected leaves that had turned colour (some ivy and maple leaves, among others) and dipped them in parafin wax which we melted in a pan over the stove. We did the leaf gathering and dipping a week before our wedding and they held up great! It was a good project to do with a group (4-5) because you can get an assembly line going of dipping, drying and putting away the leaves.
Unfortunately I don't have a good picture of them yet, but this is pretty much how they looked:
I saw a tutorial on making roses out of maple leaves. Sorry I can't link from my phone right now, but you can Google it.
what about making all your flowers.
cutting out real flowers is a huge cut.
I didn't buy any of the paper I used – I used a dracula book- old college books- old sheet music etc.
just use an ipod for your DJ. that will cut on costs.
I did my own invites. I spent $15 instead of the $250 we were quoted for.
Flowers and invites are great places to save. We spent about $75 on save the dates and invites. And 120 on all the flowers for our wedding party ( 3 bridesmaids, 3 groomsmen, 2 ring bearers, parents, grandparents, and us). I second akipping favours.
Thank you for all the great ideas
fall is an awesome choice for DIY, check out lia griffith for some genreal ideas… she also has guides for paper flowers which look awesome. or DIY your bouquet.
