Good morning.
What Friday giveth, Monday taketh away. After the worst day of the year for stocks, there seems to be some cracks in the bullish veneer as calls for a market top, including the one detailed below, are getting louder.
Maybe this whole "great rotation" thing is a big misunderstanding.
After all, despite yesterday's big drop, stocks are still overbought and have "a long way to fall before even sniffing oversold levels," according to Bespoke Investment Group.
Of course, predicting disaster is a great business, so you can expect more and more doom and gloom to pile up should the slide continue. But it doesn't look like it will. At least not today. The retrenchment back toward 13,000 on the Dow might have to wait.
Key market gauges: Futures on the Dow /quotes/zigman/9049316 YMH3 and the S&P /quotes/zigman/8751039 ESH3 are looking to get back on the bull track after yesterday's retreat. Both are moving higher early, following Europe /quotes/zigman/2380150 XX:SXXP into green territory. Asia, however, ended deep in the red, bogged down by a 2.3% drop on Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475 HK:HSI . Read: Asia stocks fall as Europe tensions rise.
The economy: How strong is the rebound in housing? U.S. home prices grew 0.4% in December to extend the year-on-year gain to 8.3%, the biggest advance since May 2006, CoreLogic said. Last month, U.S. home prices had gained 7.4% year-on-year through November. CoreLogic said 46 of 50 states registered gains for the year. Leading the pack, Arizona has the strongest year-on-year appreciation at 20.2%, though prices are down 39.8% from the peak.
Read Calculated Risk's case against a fall in housing prices from these levels. "These investors initially bought for the cash-flow, and they would only sell now if they could make a solid profit — and that means a higher price," writes Bill McBride in his response to the Financial Times story, "House price rebound cruising for a fall."
The Institute for Supply Management's index of conditions in the non-manufacturing sector will be issued at 10 a.m., with a MarketWatch poll targeting a decline to 55.0% from 55.7% in December. Read: What to watch on U.S. economy.
Earnings: As we push through the home stretch, results from Walt Disney /quotes/zigman/245568 /quotes/nls/dis DIS , Toyota /quotes/zigman/199376 /quotes/nls/tm TM , Expedia /quotes/zigman/7619798 /quotes/nls/expe EXPE and Chipotle /quotes/zigman/395806 /quotes/nls/cmg CMG will help shape Tuesday's trading session. Zynga /quotes/zigman/7720406 /quotes/nls/znga ZNGA , NYSE /quotes/zigman/421745 /quotes/nls/nyx NYX and Aflac /quotes/zigman/216779 /quotes/nls/afl AFL are also on the sked. Read: Big earnings on Tuesday.
The buzz: Dell /quotes/zigman/27952 /quotes/nls/dell DELL remains in the spotlight as it closes in on a deal to go private. So what will the company do once it's out of Wall Street's glare? MarketWatch's Therese Poletti chews on some ideas.
Yum! Brands /quotes/zigman/303422 /quotes/nls/yum YUM and its Chinese chicken scandal is among the most popular topics today, and it's getting really ugly early. The stock is off more than 6% after the company posted a drop in profit. A downgrade from Baird isn't helping.
Investors are still having a ball with Research in Motion's new ticker symbol /quotes/zigman/18534 /quotes/nls/bbry BBRY . That and a 15% surge in the stock on an otherwise dreary session are making for good times for the BlackBerry faithful. The shares are poised to push even higher when the market opens. Read why this Seeking Alpha contributor says BlackBerry is a "dead company walking."
Standard & Poor's, a unit of McGraw-Hill, is in some hot water. The government is about to file civil charges against the ratings agency relating to the model it used to rate mortgage bonds before the financial crisis blew up. Read why Kid Dynamite says the only crime was gross ignorance, not fraud. Perhaps, but that didn't stop McGraw-Hill /quotes/zigman/233490 /quotes/nls/mhp MHP shares from tanking 14% yesterday. No sign of a bounce premarket, either. Here's the lawsuit, scanned and tweeted by @felixsalmon.
J.C. Penney /quotes/zigman/237947 /quotes/nls/jcp JCP is also getting hit hard, down more than 5% before the bell. Zero Hedge asks: Is Carl Icahn trying to bankrupt Bill Ackman's J.C. Penney?
The chart of the day: On a scale from 200% net long to 200% net short — in other words, fully leveraged in either direction — the most bearish fund manager in the latest NAAIM survey is a startling 60% long. That's never happened before. What exactly does it mean? As Pater Tenebrarum points out in the Acting Man blog, "there not only are no bears left, there is also no one left who's merely 'neutral' on the market." Here's a look at how fund manager sentiment is getting ahead of the S&P.
The call of the day: "This may not be 'the top,' but it's close enough. I'm calling it," writes Mike Shedlock in his Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis blog. He joins a growing chorus of pundits who are throwing water on this "great rotation" notion of leaving the safety of cash and bonds for the allure of stocks. He says it's "point-blank absurd." The impetus for his post was provided by the latest Barron's cover.
Random reads: Meet the youngest American woman billionaire. You probably haven't heard of her, but if you grew up in California like I did, you might just hug her and never let go if given the chance. (h/t @EMarghezi).
The sun is barely up, and I've already found my favorite headline of the day, maybe the week. "Goldman Sachs hired by Russia as corporate broker to boost image." The much-followed @GSElevator Twitter feed couldn't even make this stuff up.
#1: Insider trading is like pissing in the pool. It sounds dirty, but really isn't that big a deal.
— GS Elevator Gossip (@GSElevator) January 18, 2013
China is a total pain and the U.S. may be approaching saturation, so social media is looking to Brazil, perhaps its most promising frontier. In the meantime, VentureBeat says you might want to take a cue from Antoine Dodson and "hide yo kids, hide yo wife" (still the best) because you're about to be tracked, whether you like it or not.
Need to Know starts early and is updated as needed until the opening bell, but sign up here to get it delivered once to your e-mail box. Be sure to check the Need to Know item. The e-mailed version will be sent out at approximately 8:45 a.m. Eastern. Follow @slangwise on Twitter.

Once again, Jeff and Christa Duggan, the husband and wife team behind Portola Coffee Lab at OC Mart Mix in Costa Mesa, are bringing Orange County a new coffee experience unlike anything we've had before: a dedicated slow bar to explore the wonders of coffees.
Their new Theorem, an intimate barista-driven and six-seat bar, next to Portola Coffee Lab just opened with hours from 1 to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Take a seat (after you've made a reservation) in the dimly lit Theorem bar and you'll be treated to about 30 to 45 minutes of private tastings of up to six traditional and innovative coffee creations such as a barrel-aged Kyoto old fashioned, and a signature iced coffee with fermented coffee from Bali, that's not only slow brewed, but barrel aged in oak for six months, then served with a Muscavado simple syrup, house-made coffee bitters, and an orange peel garnish.
Pique your coffee interests by tasting coffee flights that vary in origin, body, acidity, roasts, processing and more. Manager and barista extraordinaire Truman Severson will most likely be behind the bar brewing, steaming, pouring and even whipping up ice cream made to order with liquid nitrogen for a spin on a traditional Italian Affogato. Much like a wine bar, you'll be able to explore the notes, nuances and flavor profiles of each coffee, and you'll leave with a deeper understanding of Portola's mission to further introduce Orange County to a passion for artisanal hand-crafted coffees. Reservations are available online at http://www.portolacoffeelab.com/theorem.
Theorem by Portola Coffee Lab is in the OC Mart Mix at 3313 Hyland Ave. in Costa Mesa.

IT Trends | Feature
5 higher ed chief information officers discuss their changing role on campus.
Campus Technology interviewed five CIOs about the perceptions of their changing role on campus, asking them to give examples of how they delegate, mentor, collaborate and strategize more than they used to. In the final part of our series, Antioch University CIO Bob DeWitt talks about the importance of communication and partnerships for CIO success. (Missed parts 1-4? See the Table of Contents on the top left of this article.)
Bob DeWitt, Antioch University
DeWitt has worked for Ellucian as a transitional CIO on several campuses. This year he is transitioning from being an Ellucian employee to working for multicampus Antioch University full time.
CT: What have you have learned during your assignments as a transitional CIO? Have the expectations of what the CIO can accomplish changed over the last few years?
DeWitt: I have noticed that even small and medium-sized institutions have moved up the "technology maturity ladder." Previously, there was a focus on improved "customer service," combined with lowering the cost of delivering services to students. Many institutions now have relatively mature customer services, and are being driven to focus attention on the strategic use of data for managing the institution. This is partly being driven by increased competition in the higher education space, and partly by increased requirements by funding agencies for accountability. For example, community colleges have moved fairly rapidly from a culture of "access" to a culture of "success," so colleges now need to demonstrate their ability not just to recruit students but also to retain and graduate them in a timely manner. This has created new integrated enterprise data collection and reporting needs, and the CIO is at the center of identifying and responding to those needs. The CIO has finally moved significantly away from a focus on plumbing and toward a focus on information, which of course is the essence of the CIO title. This is allowing the role of CIO (in higher education at least) to evolve finally to become a true C-level player.
CT: Did you have to establish personal relationships or lines of communication with certain people on campus in order to be effective?
DeWitt: One of the mistakes that some higher education CIOs make is to engage primarily C-level leaders to the exclusion of other members of the university community. Yet the culture of higher education is different from corporate culture in that faculty and students (and other staff) want to be part of the decision-making process. I believe that to be successful, the CIO has to build communication channels to all constituents, both formally through governance structures and informally by being open and responsive.
CT: How have those partnerships helped you prepare for big initiatives like the launch of Antioch University Connected (AUC), a new fully online university?
DeWitt: One way that CIOs can contribute to new initiatives like AUC is by leveraging their experience in building external partnerships. Chancellor Felice Nudelman recognized that in order to launch a fully online university in a short period of time but at a high level of quality, Antioch would need to engage a [vendor] partner with experience and a successful track record in the online space. She asked me as CIO to manage the selection process for the partnership. The process worked well because we were able to engage the very capable university leadership team via a structured process that helped to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the vendor candidates.
CT: What are the essential skills and focus areas of CIOs in 2014?
DeWitt: While staff members must be able to manage "the plumbing," the CIO has to focus on collaboration, partnership building and institutional effectiveness (defining success, measuring progress, continual improvement).
Wanted: CIO
What are colleges and universities looking for in a CIO these days?
Many are increasingly emphasizing the ability to promote the use of technology in instruction, said Phil Goldstein, a founding partner in Next Generation, a San Anselmo, Calif.-based IT recruiting firm with a focus on higher education. That may open up possibilities for people with experience in academic technology support groups, but only after they also can prove their ability to run the whole IT organization.
Goldstein's partner, Mary Beth Baker, noted that many universities recruiting CIOs now want some people in the recruiting pool who are from corporate settings, although experience in higher education and its culture of collaboration is preferred. "But some are trying to change the culture, and they would like to bring in a sense of process innovation and greater agility."

When John McCain takes the stage here Thursday to accept his party's presidential nomination, he will have to be as much political acrobat as statesman.
The Republican National Convention was supposed to be an uncomplicated week of rousing speeches and raucous parties. Instead, it has been blown off course by two storms – one real, the other the revelation that the unwed teenage daughter of Senator McCain's conservative running mate is pregnant.
Republicans, more than Democrats, needed a full four days of nationally televised razzmatazz to excite voters in a tough year for the GOP. Instead, their convention has been a tangle of rewritten speeches and muted celebrations that has competed with hurricane Gustav for airtime.
The latest Gallup poll shows the Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. Barack Obama, with his widest lead ever over McCain. McCain's job at the Xcel Energy Center Thursday night will be nothing less than to take control, say political analysts.
With few of the warm-up acts that preceded Senator Obama's rock-star acceptance speech at the Democratic convention last week, McCain will have to summon a forceful case for his candidacy, draw together disparate factions of his party, reach out to independents, and distance himself from an unpopular president who is still his party's putative leader.
If a speech Tuesday night by first lady Laura Bush was any indication, he is also likely to underscore his vice presidential choice – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin – in a play for working-class women in swing states where support for Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton ran deep.
The task will be particularly daunting for a man more at ease in a town hall than in a 650,000-square-foot hockey arena.
"It will be interesting to see how the Republicans pivot back into convention mode," says Martin Johnson, a political scientist at the University of California, Riverside. "The really tough thing for him is he's got these two audiences: a core Republican audience inside the convention hall and the audience on national television," some of whom will be tuning in to the race for the first time.
"The finesse he has to get right," Professor Johnson adds, "is simultaneously offering a continuation of the things the base of the party likes and communicating to a national audience that he is someone different and can be a meaningful change agent."
Though hurricane Gustav has proved a bedeviling distraction for convention planners, McCain is likely to allude to his response – a visit to a Mississippi command center, consultations with Gulf Coast governors, and a call for supporters' help with relief efforts – to reinforce his image as a steady hand in times of crisis.
But at least in this speech, he is likely to stop short of explicit contrasts with President Bush, whose handling of the response to hurricane Katrina three years ago McCain sharply criticized on the campaign trail earlier this year.
"He has an opportunity to throw George Bush under a bus," says Rick Perlstein, a historian and author of "Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America." "But his coalition is so fragile that he can't even risk that.… He has to tread so delicately in so many different directions."
Obama devoted stretches of his speech in Denver last week to tarring McCain as a sequel of the Bush administration. What remains to be seen is just how hard McCain will punch back Thursday.
A parade of speakers here Tuesday night gave clues to attack lines that may come into sharper focus as the week wears on.
"Senator Barack Obama is a gifted and eloquent young man who I think can do great things for our country in the years ahead," Sen. Joseph Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, told the convention hall. "But my friends, eloquence is no substitute for a record, not in these tough times for America."
Fred Thompson, a former Tennessee senator and GOP presidential candidate, said that the Senate "had more than its share of smooth talkers."
Delegates interviewed at the Xcel Center Tuesday night said McCain's aim Thursday should be introducing – or reintroducing – himself to voters only now paying heed to the race.
"He's got to talk about jobs, he's got to talk about energy, he's got to talk about eliminating the debt, and he has to do it in a way that doesn't like an economics professor," says Ralph Seekins, an auto dealer and former state senator from Fairbanks, Alaska. "He has to do it in a way soccer moms can relate to – 'How's it going to affect my life?'"
Lori Sotelo of Mercer Island, Wash., the chairwoman of the King County Republican Party, says she thinks that McCain's trump with undecided voters is his biography as a decorated Vietnam war hero.
"His life story I believe will resonate," she says. "His personal narrative speaks volumes about who he is."

Seminary hosts week of Church Planting events
Tonight, the Center for Church Planting at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary kicks off a weeklong series of events teaching the principles of starting and growing New Testament churches in the 21st century.
Tonight's Church Planters Round Table runs from 6-9 p.m. in the Living Proof room at Campus North (beside the indoor track) and continues tomorrow from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
The event is being held in partnership with the Association of Related Churches (ARC), which has launched some of the fastest growing churches in the country in the last decade.
Attendees can expect to hear real-life answers to the questions church planters must ask regarding issues such as location, financing, promotion and outreach.
Guest speakers will include Billy Hornsby, a nationally recognized leader in church planting and published author on the subject, and Matt Fry, planter and pastor of C3 Church, a fast-growing and innovative ministry in suburban North Carolina.
"Church Planting is the greatest evangelistic approach given to the church," said Dr. David Wheeler, Associate Director of Church Planting at LBTS. "Just as the cells of a living organism naturally multiply, so must the church if it is going to impact the world for Christ."
The Seminary's emphasis on church planting continues through March 4, with various speakers presenting at convocation and in classrooms, a Disaster Relief Lunch and a "ground breaking" Q&A session at the Muze café with complimentary pizza and coffee. A complete schedule of events is posted on the Center for Church Planting website.

If you want to update the firmware of your Android phone, it's important to back up your contacts and apps. Everything else is individual, like sms messages, calendar and notes. In fact, you have the option of syncing your contacts, calendar and notes to Google already, so you don't have to worry about that. Still, things can go wrong if you rely too much on Google for syncing everything – and then again, what about backing up and restoring apps?
Here are a few ways to go about backing up your Android phone before you press the panic button.
Back up your precious contacts. These could be just your SIM contacts, Google contacts, or even Facebook and what have you. Click on your Contacts button, press the menu button (left of the 'home button' on the Galaxy Note), click on More/Import-export/export to SD card. Confirm with an 'Yes'.
This is optional. If your messages are important, you can make use of many SMS backup apps on Google Play, the Android Marketplace. If you ask us, there's one that does the job pretty well: SMS Backup & Restore Pro. And it's free.
All the effort you've taken in installing and uninstalling apps will be for nothing if you don't keep a list of the apps installed (or forget to backup the apps), to restore after the firmware upgrade. There are several apps on the market that can do this, but the one I really like for its user interface and simplicity is ES File Explorer. Just open the app and follow this route after pressing the menu button: Manager/App Manager and press the 'Multi-select button' located at the top of file explorer. Now, select all the apps you want and press the menu button again. This time, you will click 'Backup'. This will install all the apps (the .apk files needed to install and reinstall apps) to your SD card's Backup folder.
However, the application data and phone settings require a backup, too. Your phone has this feature built-in. Just follow this path: Settings/Privacy settings. Say 'yes' to Back up my data and Automatic Restore by thumbing your checkmark to each of these settings.
It's important to pause the power management tools embedded in the Android phone or the external apps you've downloaded. For example, if you were doing over-the-air software update and the new file is over 300MB, it will take more than an hour to download all of it. If you have Wi-Fi managed in your power management tool, it will disable Wi-Fi the moment the screen goes off. Similarly, anti-virus tools tend to interfere with software downloads and installation, so it's better to uninstall them before you begin your software installation. You can do that by going over to Location and Security/Device administration and putting a checkmark to all the ones marked out there.

The Cape-ron (It's a cape AND an apron!)
Added Dec 21, 2011
by bruisedangel
Grand Rapids, Mi...
My friend Matt really likes to bake and he also thinks he's a superhero. So, the idea came about that he wanted to combine a cape and an apron and call it a Cape-ron. And that's exactly what he got!
I didn't use a pattern for this and mostly just eyed it.
Really, all I did was cut a semicircle and sew on some bias tape, then I added a D-ring on one side of the neck so he could adjust accordingly. I just cut a circle out of another coordinating fabric for his superhero circle and I cut out a "M" to applique to the middle of the cape.
Material Notes
Cotton/poly blend, Metal D-ring, bias tape.

American Red Cross Issues Steps to Prevent Home Fires
The biggest disaster threat to American families isn't floods, hurricanes or tornadoes; it's fire. The American Red Cross responds to a disaster every eight minutes and nearly all of these are home fires.
The Central and Western Oklahoma Region responded to 487 house fires and 37 multi-family fires last year. Fire is everyone's fight and the Red Cross urges people to know what steps they can take to help prevent fires.
"Home fires are a common and deadly threat because they happen so quickly," said Janienne Bella, regional CEO. "We urge everyone to become aware of what they should do to prevent a fire in their home."
According to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), there are almost 365,000 residential fires reported in the U.S. every year. These fires cause more than $6 billion in property loss. While the frequency of fire deaths has steadily decreased over the past ten years due to increased awareness and safety measures, more than 2,400 Americans still die every year in home fires.
Fortunately, most home fires can be prevented. Homeowners should check for items that can be hazardous such as candles and space heaters – common items that can turn dangerous very quickly.
To help avoid a fire in the home, there are steps someone can take now:
- Keep items that can catch on fire at least three feet away from anything that gets hot, such as sources of heat or stoves.
- Never smoke in bed.
- Turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to sleep.
Install smoke alarms on every level of the home and outside each sleeping area. Put a smoke alarm inside every bedroom. Because smoke rises, put the alarms on the ceiling or high on the wall. Test the smoke alarms regularly. Install new batteries every year. Get new smoke alarms every ten years.
The Red Cross recommends that households develop a fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year with everyone who lives in the home. People should know two ways to escape from every room and designate a safe place to meet outside the home in case of a fire.
Other safety steps include:
- Follow the escape plan in case of fire. Get out, stay out, and call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number.
- Install smoke alarms on every level of the house and inside bedrooms.
- Replace batteries in smoke alarms at least once a year. Test each alarm monthly by pushing the test button.
- Download the Red Cross First Aid App to get access to life-saving information on what to do for common, everyday first aid emergencies including burns. The app is available in the Apple App Store and on Google Play for Android.
People can visit www.redcross.org for more steps they can take to lessen the chance of a fire in their home.
About the American Red Cross:
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies more about 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. To learn more go online to www.redcross.org/okc .

One Direction's Harry Styles Hanging With Model Ex, Summer Tour to Make History
It's good to be Harry Styles and it's good to be One Direction. Those are fairly obvious assessments. But want more proof of the charmed lives of 1D? Well, we've got it.
The well-coiffed Styles is reportedly hanging out with model Kara Rose Marshall... again. They were said to be a "thing" back in July of last year. But Hazza is a known lady killer and he recently was linked to reality star and model upstart Kendall Jenner, but that fizzled out, too. Oh, Harry and his models!
A source said that Hazza and Marshall were cozy at the book launch event for his hairstylist Lou Teasdale on March 25. "Harry really likes her, not just because she's beautiful, but he also thinks she's cool and down to earth," an insider said. "They're both Northern, so have a similar sense of humor." It was said that Hazza grew bored with Jenner because she didn't "get" his very British sense of humor.
And wanna know why it's even better to be 1D than you may have previously thought?
Well, the boys are gearing up for their summer Where We Are world tour. They have added dates, which now total 69. The tickets are in super high demand and are more hotly desired than those of Katy Perry and Eminem.
Forbes reports that the tour is projected to rake in $334 million in receipts. The average ticket price is $88, with almost 55,000 in attendance at each show. Whoa!
When all is said and done, the tour could end up being one of the Top 10 tours... of all time. That's insanity, considering that heritage acts like Madonna and Bruce Springsteen do that kind of record-setting business.
You can't deny the power of 1D or Directioners, for that matter.

Improving millions of relationships... one language at a time.The 5 Love Languages® by Dr. Gary Chapman has helped millions of couples identify practical and powerful ways to express love, simply by using the appropriate love language. Many husbands and wives who had spent years struggling through marriages they thought were loveless discovered one or both spouses had long been showing love through messages that weren't getting through. By recognizing their different love languages, they witnessed the rebirth of the love they thought had been gone for good.
Actions don't always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, "I love you," are important—hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten. Kind, encouraging, and positive words are truly life-giving.
In the vernacular of Quality Time, nothing says, "I love you," like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes your significant other feel. Quality time also means sharing quality conversation and quality activities.
Don't mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of gifts thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. If you speak this language, the perfect gift or gesture shows that you are known, you are cared for, and you are prized above whatever was sacrificed to bring the gift to you. A missed birthday, anniversary, or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous—so would the absence of everyday gestures. Gifts are visual representations of love and are treasured greatly.
Can vacuuming the floors really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an "Acts of Service" person will speak volumes. The words he or she most want to hear: "Let me do that for you." Laziness, broken commitments, and making more work for them tell speakers of this language their feelings don't matter. Finding ways to serve speaks volumes to the recipient of these acts.
This language isn't all about the bedroom. A person whose primary language is Physical Touch is, not surprisingly, very touchy. Hugs, pats on the back, holding hands, and thoughtful touches on the arm, shoulder, or face—they can all be ways to show excitement, concern, care, and love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive. Physical touch fosters a sense of security and belonging in any relationship.

There are several easy ways to find out the Love Language of your special someone.
If you are using the iPhone or Android app you can input your partner's email address to have the profile sent directly to them. Once they complete the profile their love language will be sent back to you via email.
If you are not using an app, simply have your partner visit http://www.lovelanguagechallenge.com/profile to take the profile and ask them to share the results. Finally, if your loved one is not able to take the profile consider answering the following questions about your partner:
• How does he/she most often express love to others?
• What does he/she complain about most often?
• What does he/she request most often?
Though our loved one's complaints normally irritate us, they are actually giving us valuable information. If a partner says, "We don't ever spend any time together," you may be tempted to say, "What do you mean? We went out to dinner Thursday night." Such a defensive statement will end the conversation. However, if you respond, "What would you like for us to do?" you will likely get an answer. The complaints of your partner are the most powerful indicators of their primary love language.
Gary Chapman, PhD, is the author of the bestselling The 5 Love Languages® series, which has sold more than 9 million worldwide and has been translated into over 49 languages. Dr. Chapman travels the world presenting seminars on marriage, family, and relationships, and his radio programs air on more than 400 stations. He lives in North Carolina with his wife, Karolyn.

I love the moves the Bills have made recently. Of course it's all "on paper" and nothing guarantees more success than last year. But there's a lot to love about the new defense.
And of course if you're going to talk about the defense, you've got to mention the man behind it, the new defensive coordinator, "The 'Stache", Dave Wannestedt.
The 'Stache is one of those guys we've had to hate with other teams, and I can't think of worse ones than Dallas (during the early 90s) and Miami. I could appreciate him during his stint with the Chicago Bears from 1993-98. He always had that Bill Cowher-esque scowl while he contorted his mustache into various configurations – all of them implying anger.
I love the guy as our D-coordinator. He's one of those guys that never quite translated as well as a head coach but can be awesome as a coordinator. However he actually had decent success as a head coach: he was only 41-57 with Chicago, but he was 42-31 at the helm in Miami and that was with QBs such as Jay Fiedler, Ray Lucas and Brian Griese. He actually made the playoffs his first two years at Miami (remember 2000 when our own Thurman Thomas played there? Ugh.) It's worth mentioning that his NCAA record is 42-31.
His defenses typically rank pretty high in terms of yards allowed, points scored and takeaways. He had some off years with Chicago, but his Dallas and Miami defenses were amazing.
With Wannestedt though, everything is predicated on the defensive line, as it should be. That's where the action starts, and if you can control the line of scrimmage you can typically control the game. As The 'Stache says in this TBN article:
It's going to be a defensive-line friendly scheme, and by that I mean we'll be as good as our guys up front play," he said. "That's how it was at Dallas, at Miami, every place where we've run this scheme. The guys up front, it all starts there. If we can get a good rotation going, keep some guys healthy, you know that kind of sets the foundation for what we're trying to get done here.
The Bills' 4-3 will be an attacking defense as well. Not one that reads and reacts, but one that uses the talent we have very well. Says Wannestedt:
Our defensive linemen will never hear the phrase, 'You gotta use up a double team or use up a block.' We want them making plays.
By going to the 4-3, the Bills also get players back to their natural positions. It's likely that the 4-3 defense was planned when Chan Gailey and buddy Nix took over but they didn't have the personnel for it. We have the talent now. I couldn't say it better then Pat Kirwan does:
Kelsey returns to his natural position (DE) but relegated to backup, too, and this improves depth. Andre Davis is gone. Barnett is better suited to play in a 4-3 front (scheme he played when originally drafted by Green Bay) and Merriman becomes a situational pass rusher which adds length to his career which has been up and down with injury. The only change in the secondary is McKelvin, who is now third string.
So a new defensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills and a new scheme in the 4-3. According to Wannestedt, there's no reason whatsoever to worry that the switch to the 4-3 will be difficult or won't happen in time for the regular season (from the same TBN post):
Every day we're putting in something different. Every day it's a different coverage, it's a different front. It might be a different blitz and we've got it organized pretty good," Wannstedt said. "I think when we get to about Day 11, 12 [of spring practice] we'll be about ready to play a game, really. And then the key will be to come back in training camp and start over again.
SuperMario, Marcel Dareus, Kyle Williams, Mark Anderson… if those guys can stay healthy it could be the harbinger of very, very bad things for opposing QBs and RBs.

Crime hits one in seven WA homes
Breaks-ins, attempted break-ins and motor vehicle theft affected 13.3 per cent of WA homes during the 12 months to October 1999, according to a report released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
The publication, Crime and Safety, Western Australia 1999, reports on selected types of household and personal crime in the State.
Household crime affected 14.6 per cent of Perth households but only 9.7 per cent of households in the rest of WA. One parent households had the highest victimisation rate (18 per cent).
While most householders reported vehicle theft to police (96.4 per cent reporting rate), far fewer reported attempted break-ins (21.7 per cent).
Personal crime (robbery, assault and sexual assault) affected 5.6 per cent of Western Australians aged 15 and over. Males, with a victimisation rate of 6.8 per cent were more likely to be victims than females (4.5 per cent). People aged 15-24 years had a higher victimisation rate (13.3 per cent) than people aged 55 years and over (1.5 per cent). The unemployed were more likely to experience personal crime (14.4 per cent) than their employed counterparts (5.7 per cent).
In occurrences of assault, the offender was known to the victim in 56.2 per cent of incidences. In these incidences where the offender was known to the victim, the offender was most likely to be a family member (including ex-partner). Acquaintances and friends were the next most commonly reported known offenders.
When asked about crime or public nuisance problems in their neighbourhood 41.3 per centof people reported that there were none.
Western Australians who did perceive a crime or public nuisance problem in their neighbourhood felt that housebreaking/burglaries, vandalism/graffiti/damage to property, dangerous/noisy driving and motor vehicle theft were the major issues.
Further details are available in Crime and Safety, Western Australia 1999 (Cat. No. 4509.5) available from ABS bookshops. The summary of the main findings can be found on this site. If you wish to purchase a copy of this publication, contact the ABS Bookshop in your capital city.

Mike Raicht, Zach Howard, and Austin Harrison take readers beyond the clouds!San Diego, CA (July 15, 2012) – IDW Publishing is proud to announce a brand-new creator-owned miniseries from creators Mike Raicht, Zach Howard, and Austin Harrison featuring color by Nelson Daniel! When land and sea have become deadly and uninhabitable, the intrepid survivors of ecological disaster must take to the skies; to the WILD BLUE YONDER!
"I couldn't be happier to continue my long partnership with Zach Howard," said Chris Ryall, IDW's Chief Creative Officer. "He illustrated the first comic I ever wrote, and has been producing some stunning work for IDW ever since. Add to that Mike Raicht's clever scripting and the amazing colors of Nelson Daniel and WILD BLUE YONDER becomes much more than just an innovative concept."
In a wildly imaginative take on the post-apocalyptic thriller, Raicht, Howard and Harrison have created an eye-popping world of flying machines, massive, makeshift fortresses and a desperate war among the dwindling population left to the scarce resources on land. As mankind has become accustomed to the reality of a prosperous life only existing in sky bound territory, a desperate war has broken out for control and survival on the ground and high above it.
"We've been striving to put Wild Blue Yonder together for a long time," said Raicht. "It is so amazing that it is finally coming together. To be able to publish it at IDW, the same place that has produced some of my favorite creator owned properties, like 30 Days of Night, The Cape, and Locke and Key, is cooler than I can ever truly express."
"I honestly couldn't be happier. It's very gratifying to be drawing my own books full-time while publishing them through my favorite company. Good times!" added Howard.
Clashing factions fight tooth and nail with primitive weapons in a thrilling, high-stakes world of tightly-knit families and deeply realized characters, all cobbling together a life in a world beyond imagination.
"We're excited for people to see the story unfold in the series," said Harrison. "Everyone at IDW has been great and supportive. We're thrilled to be working with such a great company."
