Expand your comfort zone and put some adventure in your life
How spacious is your comfort zone? Are you fretting inside the straitjacket of conformity and habit? Are you thinking about starting something new, doing something different, but afraid to take the first steps because there's just too many unknowns and what if it all goes wrong? Do you look at the edges of your comfort zone and wonder… why is it so small?
Such feelings are more common than you might think. Of course, safety and security are fundamental needs for all of us, and much of our lives seem geared to arranging things so that we can reliably predict what's going to happen and prepare ourselves to deal with it. We do this by creating routines and habits. And sticking to them. Religiously.
What is a comfort zone?
We all love the zest for life that we see in young children. They are curious about everything, want to try new things, are always ready to explore. The whole world is new to them. Yet all too soon, it seems, the pattern of 'clinging to the familiar' begins to show.
We quickly learn what's 'safe', from our own experience and from society. We build up a 'comfort zone' which we can sum up as 'what we know and can rely on'. This can be geographic (my house, my neighbourhood, my town), social (my family, my friends, my community), work-related (my job, my colleagues), ideological (my politics, my religion) and behavioural (what I do every day).
The purpose of a comfort zone
There's nothing wrong with having a comfort zone - everybody needs one! It makes life easier in many ways if you stick with what you know and have practised lots of times. It brings a sense of security and safety. It means you can operate without undue anxiety and stress, and can give your energy to 'getting on with it'.
When a comfort zone becomes limiting
The limits of your comfort zone only become a problem when they start to feel like prison walls. When your natural human desire (still in there after all these years) to reach out for the new and different is stifled by unwarranted fear and trepidation. When you begin to wonder if these safe routines are really delivering you the good life you used to dream of.
Don't destroy your comfort zone - expand it!
Some people address this challenge by knocking down their comfort zone, or jumping right out of it. This extreme approach can work, of course, but it doesn't have to be that drastic. By beginning to think of your world and your life in a different way, you can stretch your comfort zone to bring new things inside it.
Use the unconscious mind to begin expanding your comfort zone
It's clear that a 'comfort zone' is a mental construct, and that changing it requires a 'change of mind'. Expand your comfort zone uses hypnosis (an 'altered state of mind') to make it easier for you to consider and adopt an appropriate mindset for the changes you want to make in your life.
Expand your comfort zone allows you to let your own unconscious mind find the right way forward for you - which it can do much more effectively than all your conscious fretting. You will discover how to let yourself relax really deeply and release your own inner creativity and spirit of adventure. It will begin to feel completely natural again to let life bring you new things - and enjoy them.

Our target market is business owners so the web design needs to have a clean/professional look.
We need to build off of our newly selected logo and colors (http://www.technologyassociates.net…lpaper.jpg). Would like several 'stock photos' of business professionals in design. Final design template needs to be compatible with Expression Engine.

A winner was selected from 75 designs submitted by 38 freelance designers.
We are a group of engineers and consult to design some consumer products. Our customers are large consumer brand name such as HP, Samsung, Cisco... We are specialize in product design with wireless capabilities such as tablets, netbooks, smartphones.... We design the mechanical casing, electronic boards and Software.
We manage various companies involved in the design of these devices, Then we work with large asian companies to execute the product implementation and qualify the mass production process.
The way we manage project is new and represent a shift of mindset. We run very light design team relying a lot more on partners. We push the envelop and pride ourselves to be hire people expert in their field. We focus on architecture and cross functional issues. We are very respectful of culture difference, we are committed to our projects and are very detailed oriented.
We meet :
- Customers (Cisco, HP, Samsung...)
- chipset maker (Marvell, Intel, Texas instruments, Atheros,...)
- Asian suppliers (tooling, screen, touch panels, mechanical plastic injections...)
- Asian manufacturer (Foxconn, Asus, HTC, IAC,...)
- Partners (Software design house, ID houses, other consultants...)
We would like to focus on logo and business cards.
Our initial idea was :
- clean lines
- modern and simple fonts
- white or slightly off-white cards
- classy look
- Shift logo
- background technical drawing embossed. (for instance simple gear outline, in black). We think like Jules Vernes technical details. Gears, mechanism or other vintage drawings...
We would welcome other concept and ideas but need to be :
- modern, simple, subdue, technical, trust,
We will need photoshop, illustrator and PDF output.

It's a common perception that, being an ER doctor, everybody and their brother must bug me for medical advice at all times. Strangely, I have found that not to be so much the case. It's in fact quite rare for someone I know only casually to ask my opinion on anything medical. They may ask for "freaky ER stories," but not about themselves. In truth, I also try very hard not to let people know what I do for a living. My standard line is that I "work in a body shop in [name of town]."
My family and close friends do occasionally ask for opinions regarding their own health, but these are all people I am really close to and have a very trusting relationship with, so it doesn't bother me. I may or may not be able to help them or answer their questions, but I have no qualms about discussing it and venturing an opinion when appropriate.
I recently found myself in a somewhat dicey variation on the theme. A high-profile, powerful individual who I knew only professionally called me and asked for some advice. This is a person I have interacted with on multiple occasions, but don't really know very well, and though I am well-disposed towards her, I would not say we have much of a relationship at all. But we do have enough of a relationship (and she is important enough) that it would have been impolitic of me to brush her off.
Worse, her concern was regarding chest pains she had been experiencing. Clearly, after some information-gathering, these were quite unlikely to represent anything serious. But as all ER doctors know, unlikely things do happen from time to time.
So I had to decide: what should I tell her? I could just abdicate all responsibility and tell her to get in to the ER. Safer, simpler, and the "textbook" answer. But I could tell that she did not want to go to the ER and I hated to think that if I sent her in and she endured a negative work-up, she would be annoyed at me for wasting her time and money and disrupting her busy life with a worthless hospital stay. Would her opinion of me suffer? Not an appealing thought. On the other hand, I could reassure her, quite honestly, that the symptoms she was experiencing were probably not serious and doing so, effectively give her permission not to go in. (Which was what she wanted.) She'd be happy with me, and truth be told, she almost certainly would be fine. But such a response just feels intrinsically dishonest, and as a fundamentally paranoid ER doctor, that nagging "what if" in the back of my mind is hard to ignore.
Ultimately, this is what I told her:
You need to understand that I am not going to attempt to diagnose or treat you over the phone. I will, however, give you some background information. The symptoms you describe, in a person such as yourself, are highly unlikely to represent any serious disease. There is, however, a small but measurable possibility that these pains are caused by your heart or some other dangerous cause. If you go to the ER, they will do tests X and Y and Z and will be able to give you a better assessment as to whether you are at risk or not. If you choose not to go in, that is a reasonable choice in this setting, but you need to consider your own willingness to tolerate risk before making that decision.
There was a long silence over the phone. Clearly she was not thrilled with what I had done -- put the onus of the decision back on her shoulders. She thanked me and ended the conversation.
A short time later she sent me a text saying that she was going in.
The next day, at work, I was tempted to look her record up in the computer, to see what the tests had shown. But I was unsure whether that was kosher -- would it have been a violation of her privacy? She had trusted me enough to call me and discuss her medical condition -- does that entitle me to "treating physician" status? I decided probably not, at least not worth the risk and potential bureaucratic headache. I figured I would find out next time we met, which I did, and she was fine, and in hindsight she was quite glad for my advice because it had helped her make the decision that was right for her.
So a happy ending for both of us.

Your bias as an ER doc shows here, in the sense that you perceived this as a dichotomy; a situation with only two acceptable courses of action (go to the ER or don't go.) What about adding, "I think you ought to consult with your personal physician about these symptoms." (And that if she didn't have a personal physician, she ought to, perhaps using this as the impetus to establish that relationship.)ReplyDelete
I find it sad/frustrating/appalling that this option didn't even occur to you.
Oh, give me some credit (and get off your high horse). Of course there was PCP involvement, in fact she already had an appointment set up. That was not why she was calling me. What she wanted to know was "do I need to do something about this now, at 8pm, or can it wait?"ReplyDelete
I have the same problem as an attorney, and I was recently put into a similar position when my boss (I'm now a teacher) called me at home for legal advice. I basically did the same thing. It's uncomfortable. And people I barely know ask me for advice all the time if they know I'm an attorney.ReplyDelete
I thought that was nicely handled. Letting the kind of, sort of, patient make the decision is better for everyone.ReplyDelete
From the way it was written, I presumed that it was not during office hours.
I thought your answer was just about perfect. You left the decision in her court, but you gave her the information needed to make it.ReplyDelete
Why should you assume the risk? Ultimately, the patient ought to be responsible for their own health. Obviously, in emergency medicine that is often not possible, and a dr. has to assume responsibility for some decisions. But I never expect my personal physician to be responsible for my health. I'm the one who will be making the daily decisions that affect my health, after all. What can he do if I don't follow his instructions? And what can he do if he doesn't have all of the information he might need, through no fault of his own?

Angry Bill Belichick calls out Wes Welker
FOXBOROUGH — Without any solicitation for his opinion on the matter, Bill Belichick was quick to address Wes Welker's open-field pick on Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib in Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game. The Patriots coach called Welker's actions, "one of the worst plays I've seen,'' he said.
Talib was knocked out of the game on the play.
"I feel badly for Aqib, the way that play turned out,'' Belichick said at the beginning of his season-ending wrapup Monday morning at Gillette Stadium. "I went back and watched it, which I didn't have a chance to [Sunday], it was a deliberate play by the receiver to take out Aqib.''
The play in question occurred in the second quarter with the Broncos leading 3-0 and facing a second-and-9 from their own 19 with 13:34 left. Denver came to the line of scrimmage in a four-wide formation with quarterback Peyton Manning in the shotgun, Welker lined up in the slot on the right side of the formation, and Demaryius Thomas, Manning's intended target on the incomplete pass, lined up as the sole receiver lined up on the left side.
Talib was rolled up in press man coverage on Thomas.
Thomas broke from the formation and led Talib across the middle from the left side while Welker came running across from the opposite direction. Welker leveled Talib with an open-field hit that knocked the Patriots' best cover corner out the game with a left knee injury.
Belichick alleged that Welker made "no attempt to get open.''
"I'll let the league handle the discipline on that play,'' he added. "It's not for me to decide. It was one of the worst plays I've seen and that's all I'm going to say about that.''
Talib had little to say about the play after Sunday's game.
"I can't even remember how the play went,'' Talib said. "I was just upset [at being hurt].''
Welker denied that he was trying to hit Talib after the game.
"It was one of those plays; it was kind of a rub play and I was trying to get him to go over the top and I think he was thinking the same thing and wanted to come underneath, and you know just kind of collided,'' Welker explained. "It wasn't like I was trying to hit him or anything like that. I hope he's OK; he's a great player and a big part of their defense.''
When asked if Welker's hit sent a message to the Patriots, Thomas said, "I don't know if it was a message. It was kind of a pick play. It was a big collision and it knocked him out of the game. The main thing was to come out and play physical as a whole group and that's what we did.''

the fine details
Here you will find but a few of the many fine details that can be applied to your bespoke stationery. Simply scroll for inspiration and discover the techniques below.
Considered the highest form of printing, designs are engraved onto copperplates and then coated with coloured inks or metallic foils and hand stamped onto the stationery.
blind stamping
Following the same process as die-stamping, this technique simply omits the ink to give a more subtle raised effect to your lettering or motifs.
Traditionally used on invitations, a decorative or stepped platemark creates a raised border around the edge of the stationery to frame the text.
lettering styles
Whilst we can match any lettering style that you present, Smythson owns a selection of unique lettering styles that you will not find anywhere else and can only be used by our artisans, giving your stationery that true Smythson feel.
To create a border, our artisans first test the ink to ensure a perfect colour match and then meticulously hand paint the edges along the surface.
deckle edge
A deckle edge recreates the effect of paper with a raw edge. This technique can be applied to the cut edge of the paper should you desire a more organic texture.
gilt bevel edge
Cutting the edge of a card at an angle creates a smooth edge that allows our artisans to apply gold or silver metallic foils by hand. This same luxurious finish is used on all Smythson diaries and notebooks.
colour edging
To add a pop of colour, inks can also be applied by hand to the edge of a card rather than on the surface, as with bordering. This allows you to have something a bit bolder but no less refined.
specially milled paper
Smythson has a collection of specially milled paper that is made by our UK artisans in a range of colours and textures, each of which bears our signature watermark. However, should you have a specific paper in mind, our trained consultants have an endless array papers in their repertoire.
Each envelope is finished with our signature Smythson blind stamp to give it that mark of distinction. Our envelopes are handcrafted to complement your stationery and can be enhanced with many of the same techniques used for our stationery such as colour edging. Smythson envelopes are traditionally tissue-lined but they can also be made unlined.
tissue lining
We use a 'full wrap' technique to line our envelopes. This technique is completed by hand in our artisan workshop to ensure that tissue covers all surfaces inside of the envelope for a truly luxurious feel. Tissue colours can be selected to match or contrast with your chosen inks or metallic foils.

Prerequisites for HD telephony
HD (High Definition) telephony offers new, natural sound quality when conducting calls. When using HD technology to make a call, the full frequency spectrum of speech is transmitted, resulting in realistic voice reproduction. To conduct calls in HD quality, the following prerequisites must be met:
- Both parties must either use internet telephony (VoIP) or an ISDN line to conduct the call. HD telephony can also be used when conducting internal calls. HD telephony cannot be used if one of the parties is using an analog landline.
- All telephones, PBXs, and the telephony provider used for the call must support the speech codec G.722. Cordless telephones must also support HD telephony.
Note:All current FRITZ!Fon models support HD telephony and G.722. If you are using a telephone from a different manufacturer, the manufacturer can tell you whether it supports HD telephony and G.722.

The TAU Cross

St Francis Prayer
What is a Tau Cross?
he Tau Cross, also called the Cross of Tau, the Franciscan Tau Cross, the Cross of St. Francis, and the Cross of St. Anthony, is a simple cross, based on the Greek Τ, which is pronounce taw. In Hebrew the letter is pronounced the same but written as x. It predates the cross of the crucifixion, and for this reason it is also called the Old Testament cross.
It is a type of the cross of the Crucifixion. In Ezekiel, an angel, traditionally believed to be St. Gabriel, is instructed by God to go and mark the foreheads of the faithful with the Tau symbol. Other angels are then instructed to "go ye after him through the city, and strike: let not your eyes spare, nor be ye moved with pity. Utterly destroy old and young, maidens, children and women: but upon whomsoever you shall see Thau, kill him not, and begin ye at my sanctuary." (Ezekiel 9:5-6). So in Ezekiel, those marked with the Tau were saved from this destruction – their lives were spared. In the Passion, the crucifix became the symbol of Christ's sacrifice, which brought eternal salvation. And so yet another name for the Tau Cross is the Anticipatory Cross.
Tradition holds that in the 3rd century, St. Anthony, the Egyptian hermit who is considered the father of monasticism carried a Tau cross, but it was St. Francis and the Franciscan order that really popularized the use of the Tau cross. Francis was also familiar with the religious community that followed in the footsteps of St. Anthony the hermit, a community which was active in Assisi during St. Francis's time. This is likely where he first encountered the Tau Cross.
In 1215, at the Fourth Lateran Council, Pope Innocent referenced the Tau cross and the passage from Ezekiel. It is widely believed that St. Francis was present at the Council and that this is when he wholeheartedly embraced the Tau cross as his symbol. Francis used it in his writings, painted it on walls and doors where he stayed, and even used it as his signature. St. Francis would also stretch out his arms, to show his friars that their habit was also the Tau Cross. He instructed them to not only let that serve as a reminder, but also as an active symbol for them to be a walking crucifix in their lives.
Due to St. Francis's love for the Tau Cross, it became associated with the Franciscan Order. It is adopted and used or worn by many followers of St. Francis, whether part of the religious order or secular. Even for those unfamiliar with the details of St. Francis's life, the Franciscan Order is what comes to mind when most people see the Tau Cross.
More about the Franciscan Orders:
First order
The existence of the Friars Minor or first order dates from 1209, when St. Francis obtained an approval from Innocent III of the simple rule he had composed for the guidance of his first companions. The rule was subsequently rewritten by St. Francis and solemnly confirmed by Honorius III in 1223.
Second order
1212 brought the foundation of the Poor Ladies (also called the Poor Clares) or second order. In that year St. Clare had asked St. Francis to be allowed to embrace the new manner of life he had instituted, with several other pious maidens who had joined her. St. Francis did not write the formal rule for these ladies. It was composed about 1219 by Cardinal Ugolino and later rewritten by Clare with the aid of Cardinal Rinaldo. The revision was approved by Pope Innocent IV in 1253.
Third order
Tradition holds that the foundation of the Brothers and Sisters of Penance, now known as tertiaries, took place in 1221. This third order was established for those men and women who wished to follow Francis's rule but because of marriage or other ties, could not join the first or second order.
"Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love."
Francis of Assisi

Saluda Dam Reservoir To Be Raised Earlier Than Expected
After determining that the remediation work at the Saluda Dam in South Carolina is ahead of schedule and the dam is responding positively to the construction of the backup dam, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission cleared the way this week for SCE&G to begin to raise the water level in the Lake Murray reservoir, cutting in half the impact on recreation-related activities.
The remediation is necessary to ensure that the dam can withstand an earthquake the size of the Charleston quake of 1886, which measured 7.3 on the Richter scale.
Chairman Pat Wood, III, commented, "When I toured the site last November, I was impressed by the incredible work going on there. I congratulate the Commission's dam safety staff and the licensee's team on achieving this goal in record time, all while ensuring the public is protected."
The water level will be raised from its current level (345 to 347 feet) to 351 feet and held there until the last segment of foundation backfilling is complete. With a continued positive response of the dam, the reservoir refilling will continue to its seasonal level. The amount of rainfall the area receives will determine how fast the reservoir will be brought up to the desired level.
The lowering of the reservoir, which was determined by experts to reduce the risks of dam failure during critical phases of construction, facilitated the construction of a massive backup dam that is designed to retain the Lake Murray reservoir under the impact of another Charleston-size quake.
The entire remediation effort is expected to be completed in spring 2005.

- If it wasn't apparent that Jarvis Jones is the heart and soul of the defense, it should be now. Watching the highlights, it is easy to see that no matter how hard opposing offenses work to slow him down, they basically have to count on him to miss.
- As for the rest of the defense, the big guys up front were relentless in pursuit. Ogletree played a huge game. Rambo was effective on blitzes and in coverage. Just a great defensive performance.
- I'll wait to see the replay before I say this definitively but it looked like this was the best the offensive line played all season. Florida was looking to bring pressure from all angles and times. Good game.
- Hello, Zander Ogletree.
- Yes, Murray had a (statistically) bad game. He had three interceptions, but only one was a bad decision. Florida came into the game ranked 3rd in the nation in pass defense. They are now 16th. Seriously, Murray's game wasn't great, but it wasn't the disaster everyone was expecting.
- Gurley and Mitchell. Both are big time, big game players. We'll see much more of them doing stuff like this in their careers.
- Having said that, I hope Mitchell knows what he could have cost the team with the mouth running. It didn't matter in the end, but at some point, he's going to give Pwn Wagers' crew a chance to be a game changer if he doesn't stop it.
- I was willing to get down on Grantham, but I thought his plan was spot on for handling Florida. As I mentioned, Florida has been living on the long running plays. As far as I can tell, the longest run they had was 17 yards in the 3rd Q. Driskel's passing numbers were blah, too.
- Coach Richt showed some emotion. He also laughed. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

TD - Hope you enjoyed the game and the tickets worked out well for you!
Go Dawgs!

I like Murray and don't begrudge an occasional performance like this, but it's insane to think Florida dropped from 3rd to 16th in pass defense. They give up 180 yards/gm, murray threw for 150.
In pass efficiency defense they dropped from 3rd to.....3rd. Murray performed like one of their average opponents. You must have gotten pass efficiency defense and pass yards/game defense mixed up.
- Tyler Dawgden said...
You are correct. I did mix up the two.
- Aladawg said...
Couple other notes. Did anyone note the face mask to Mitchell on the TD pass? Why was there no review on the Florida Int., run then fumble. The CB was not down in my opinion, but on another body before he was stripped of the ball. Murray was 4-6 on the TD drive and Danielson aptly noted that Murray had to do something good for UGA to win. When is Muschamp going to get an unsportsmanlike penalty for his antics? Aladawg

Apple slips bomb into ITC filing: Samsung being PROBED by US gov
Korean firm under investigation over use of standards-essential patents
The United States government is investigating whether Samsung is misusing the standards-essential patents that it holds, rival Apple said in a document it filed with the International Trade Commission on Monday.
Samsung holds several standards-essential patents covering data transmission from mobile devices, which it is under an obligation to license to rivals at a fair and reasonable rate (FRAND terms). If Samsung is found to be misusing standards-essential patents, the Department of Justice has the power to fine Samsung, jail its execs or even ban Samsung products.
Samsung is also under investigation for its Standards Essential Patents by the European Commission and South Korea's Fair Trade Commission.
Apple have moaned about Samsung's grip on standards essential patents before, but we didn't know the US Justice department was looking into it, until now. The department has so far refrained from commenting.
The probe into how Samsung licenses standards-essential patents was revealed by ANOTHER patent investigation. Apple dropped a reference to the Department of Justice investigation in a filing to the International Trade Commission regarding a separate spat with Samsung. Apple says:
The Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the manner in which Samsung has used - or misused - its declared-essential patents, as has the European Commission.
Apples also states that Samsung is not licensing its key patents fairly and that this is harming the public interest:
Samsung's assertion of declared-essential patents was incompatible with Samsung's FRAND (fair reasonable and non-discriminatory) commitments and the public interest.
Apple's filing to the International Trade Commission, 22 October 2012, is part of the case: Certain Mobile Electronic Devices, Including Wireless Communication Devices, Portable Music and Data Processing Devices, and Tablet Computers; Inv. No. 337-TA-794 [PDF - but you'll need to register].

U.S. stocks fluctuated, following a three-month advance in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (CME:SPZ13), as data showed manufacturing unexpectedly climbed last month and investors assessed reports on holiday retail sales.
Urban Outfitters Inc. lost 3.8% as retail spending fell on the weekend after Thanksgiving for the first time since 2009. EBay Inc. climbed 1.9% as a report showed online spending on Black Friday rose to a record. Newmont Mining Corp., the world's second-largest gold producer, slipped 3.8% as the precious metal's price declined. 3M Co. lost 3.5% after Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock.
The S&P 500 fell less than 1 point to 1,805.48 at 2:54 p.m. in New York after earlier rising as much as 0.2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 39.98 points, or 0.3%, to 16,046.43. Trading in S&P 500 stocks was 16% lower than the 30-day average at this time of day.
"It seems like a sleepy day after Thanksgiving, nothing exciting going on," Frank Ingarra, head trader at Greenwich, Connecticut-based NorthCoast Asset Management LLC, said by phone. His firm oversees about $1.8 billion. "Investors are probably waiting to see if there's any news from the Fed later in the month and trying to get a read on retail sales."
The S&P 500 climbed 2.8% last month and has gained 27% this year, poised for the best annual performance since 1998, after the Federal Reserve refrained from tapering its third round of economic stimulus. The central bank next meets Dec. 17-18. The index ended November with its eighth straight weekly advance, the longest rally in almost a decade, as data on employment and consumer sentiment boosted confidence in economic growth.
Factory Data
The Institute for Supply Management's factory index rose to 57.3 in November from 56.4 a month earlier, the Tempe, Arizona- based group's report showed today. The median projection in a Bloomberg survey of 77 economists called for a drop to 55.1. Estimates ranged from 53.5 to 57.5. Manufacturing accounts for about 12% of the economy.
A separate report from Markit Economics showed the final November index of U.S. manufacturing increased to 54.7 from 51.8 the previous month. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for no change from the preliminary November reading of 54.3. Other reports showed manufacturing in the euro area, U.K. and China expanded faster than estimated.
The Labor Department's jobs report on Dec. 6 is forecast to show the U.S. added 180,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate slipped to 7.2%, matching the lowest level in five years. The weakest employment recovery in seven decades is proving a boon to equity markets.
$14 Trillion
Five years into a rally that has restored $14 trillion to share prices, U.S. payrolls remain 1.5 million below the level in 2008, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Resistance to hiring from ConocoPhillips to Walt Disney Co. will help push S&P 500 profit margins above 10% next year, the highest ever, data show. Below-average employment was cited last month by Fed chairman nominee Janet Yellen as the biggest obstacle to raising interest rates.
December has been the second-best month for U.S. equity returns, according to data compiled by Bloomberg that starts in 1928. The average return for the month is 1.5%, more than twice the overall monthly mean of 0.6%. Should stocks match their historic gains this month, it would put the index at 1,832.90 by the end of the year.
U.S. retailers are coming off the first spending decline on a Black Friday weekend since 2009. Purchases at stores and websites fell 2.9% to $57.4 billion during the four days beginning with the Nov. 28 Thanksgiving holiday, according to a survey commissioned by the National Retail Federation.

After watching Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard exit, Magic fans might get queasy even thinking about the club perhaps trading the third-best center in franchise history at all, much less to their dastardly state rival.
I need some antacids myself when addressing it, but there's really no debate: the team's most attractive asset is center Nik Vucevic.
If the faithful want to see GM Rob Hennigan shake up the Magic, perhaps any major deal must include Vucevic.
One possible trade would involve a lot of gambling on Hennigan's part and even more cooperation …with the Magic's Florida neighbors.

Let this serve as a warning to all readers about the dangers of unexpected international roaming charges. Heric Silva shares his experience and illustrates why you need to keep an eye on your iPhone while traveling overseas.
I recently went to Europe for 9 days. I used my iPhone over there and it seemed to work very well. I received my bill the other day and it was over $1200, yes $1200. When I had my Treo I usually get a bill for about $400 to $500 when I was in Europe. Now the problem is that the iPhone does not have anyway of controlling the amount of data you receive, unlike the treo where you can limit the amount of email data you download and giving you the option to download the rest if you like and letting you know the size prior to downloading it so you can see if it is worth the money. When I used my iPhone and press any of the applications that require updating to retrieve stock, weather, email or whatever it needs...you get hit really hard on the $ per KB international roaming charges. Also the email client does not store the downloaded/viewed emails it always has to pull them down from the web so even if I already looked at it it would download it again and incur roaming data charge!
This is a major flaw that will cost users a bundle. Why do they bother to give you 8GB of memory if they don't even use it for email storage and downloaded files. The iPhone is essentially an iPod with a phone and the phone portion is very limited.
I called AT&T to complain and they said "sorry these are all legitimate charges, give Apple a call." I have called them but I was on hold for about 45 minutes so I gave up and will try again. I think they should pay my bill, their poor design causes the users to incur unnecessary data charges.
This flaw should be made public and they should re-reimburse all users that have incurred these massive charges.

I'm new to the area and the sport, along with my wife. The goal right now is to hit the trainer kite hard and get 10 hours under our belts before a land/water lesson. It would be awesome to schedule that lesson for about 2 weeks from now.
We live in San Jose area and would like to use the trainer in parks around our condo that would give us the closest feel for a larger kite. I'm about 220 lbs and my wife is about 110 lbs. Knowing that info are there trainer kites we should look at or stay away from? Also, it would be awesome to have the kite readily available in the area and in the $150 to $200 range.
We have seen there are 2 line kites and 3 line kites. The one trainer we have used is a 1.6 M Ozone Ignition. That seems to run for $200 at a local shop. There is a Naish Xeon that is $150 and is 1.3 M as well.
Do all trainer kites have a safety strap that you attach to your wrist? Does the 2 vs 3 lines really matter?
One thing we are conscious of is wanting to have enough trainer kite time before the land/water lesson. This will allow us to get the most out of the lesson and feel confident with a large kite. Come to think of it, the biggest thing that we want to have is safety and confidence.
Thanks in advance!

BREAKING! T.I. & His New Wife 'Tiny' Arrested In Los Angeles After Ecstasy Was Allegedly Found In His Car!
We're so upset to hear that T.I. and wife 'Tiny' were arrested Sept. 2 in West Hollywood! L.A. County Sheriff's deputies searched the rapper's car and took the couple into custody!
Just when T.I. thought his legal troubles were behind him, the multi-platinum-selling artist was arrested Sept. 2, along with wife Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, for alleged "possession of a controlled substance." TMZ is reporting that a small amount of ecstasy was found in the car and the pills are being "tested."
T.I., 29 and Tameka, 36, were pulled over on Sunset Blvd. around 10:30 p.m. by The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. It's unclear why the couple was initially pulled over, but reports claim authorities smelled marijuana coming from their Maybach. RadarOnline.com reports that after the LASD searched the luxury vehicle, the two were arrested and booked at the West Hollywood Sheriff's Station.
The longtime couple was married July 30, and T.I. just recently finished his seven month prison sentence for federal weapons charges. The Grammy winner and Tameka were held on a bail of $10,000 and released around 4 a.m. PDT.

Texarkana Arkansas Names Volunteers of the Year
The annual Jack Hardy Memorial Educations Service Award has been presented by the Texarkana Arkansas School District.This year's award goes to a pair of men who have devoted countless hours to the Razorback Trapshooting Team. John Wilson and Gary Nolte are said to have a "whatever it takes" attitude.
The two have cleared fields for the students to practice on, moved equipment, secured grants, sold raffle tickets, met with kids on weekends for practice and held fundraisers that involved them preparing and cooking enormous amounts of foodl.
The Razorback Trapshooting Team recently won first place at the Rick Evans Invitational in Columbus, Arkansas and a member of the team was on the Junio Olympics Shotgun Team back in 2011.

Representatives of more than 30 family farms in Jackson and Josephine counties have sent a letter to Oregon's U.S. senators, asking the lawmakers to remember small farms when considering the impact of increased logging on local watersheds.
In the July 7 letter to Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, the farmers, mostly from organic operations, stressed their need for clean water and a healthy environment to produce their crops. "We are not opposed to responsible forest management on public lands managed by the BLM," noted the letter, referring to the BLM. "However, many of these forestlands, known as O&C lands, have been proposed for as much as a ten-fold increase in logging," it continued. "Also, policies have been suggested that would reduce stream buffers, log old-growth trees, and renew clearcutting."
The group also expressed concern the former Oregon & California Railroad Co. lands could be managed to favor timber production over clean water production, wildlife habitat, recreation and tourism. "We depend on clean water, scenic views and a healthy natural environment for growing abundant nutritious local foods," the letter stated. "Policy changes that would sacrifice the landscape where our farms operate are not in the best interest of our southern Oregon farms."
Congress is considering revamping laws governing the so-called O&C lands in Western Oregon to provide more revenue for budget-strapped counties that depend on income from timber harvests in lieu of taxes.
Wyden is the chairman of the powerful Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
The small farmers, who produce everything from vegetables to wine grapes, say they support responsible forest management, especially in areas where thinning is needed to reduce the threat of a catastrophic wildlands fire.
Any management policy that threatens the water quality or the environment would have a devastating impact on their crops, they say.
"Our farms are adjacent to or nearby O&C forestlands," said Josh Cohen of Barking Moon Farm in the Applegate Valley.
"Farming in the Rogue and Applegate River valleys is important to the local economy, and it is an important reason why people find Southern Oregon an attractive region to visit and settle down," he added.
Tom Powell of the Wolf Gulch Farm in the Little Applegate River drainage agreed.
"Our farms are known to produce high-quality natural products," he said. "We should not sacrifice our clean water and ancient forests that surround our farms. We don't need clear-cutting or herbicides on our public forests. We have enough of those practices on timber industry forests."
The farmers called for thinning forests over clear-cutting to protect the forestland.
"Our forests need small trees thinned around large trees," said Taylor Staff of White Oak Farm in Williams. "Cutting big trees or clear-cutting these forests would just increase the risk of severe wildfire."

Hey everyone-
I recently picked up a Yamaha A4000 sampler. It has a zip disk drive installed, and I'm really not a fan of zip disks. Can the A4000 use a standard IDE card reader, or does it have to be SCSI?
thanks for your help!

DECATUR Pearl River Wildcats split with East Central in MACJC South Division baseball action here Tuesday, taking a 7-2 victory in the first game of the doubleheader in eight innings before falling 9-3 in the nightcap to the Warriors. PRCC is now 24-15 overall and 10-8 in division play, while ECCC is 24-16 and 11-9. The Wildcats are currently in third place in the division behind No. 1 Jones County (13-5) and Mississippi Gulf Coast (10-6), while the Warriors are in fourth. The two teams split in an earlier meeting played March 26 in Poplarville with the East Central taking a 2-1 win in the first game of the twin bill before the Wildcats rebounded with an 8-5 decision in the second game. In Tuesday first game, ECCC went up 2-0 in the bottom of the first inning before PRCC tied it up after three with solo runs in the top of the second and third. That 2-2 stalemate remained intact until to the top of the eighth when The River unleashed a five-run barrage to take the win. Jared Bond (2-0) of Denham Springs (La.) High got the win after relieving starter Taylor Byrd of Petal High in the sixth. Byrd pitched five-and-two-thirds innings. Colton Mitchell (5-2) got the loss after relieving starter Bobby Bryan in the seventh. He pitched one-and-one-thirds innings before Tyler Dalton pitched the eighth. James Abraham, a Southeastern Louisiana transfer who prepped at St. Stanislaus in Bay St. Louis, paced Pearl River 12-hit attack with a double and two singles; while Aaron Lee of Pearl River Central High had three singles, Derek Sanders of Simpson Academy a double and a single, Chase Toussaint of Petal High homered, and Chase Lewallen and B.J. Smith, both of Sumrall High, and Jordan Williams out of Christian County High in Hopkinsville, Ky., all had base hits. East Central finished with seven hits, led by Charles Hill, B.J. Martin, and Darmaal Moore with two singles a piece; while Richie Long singled. The Warriors committed three errors in the game to the Wildcats none. In the nightcap game, PRCC went up 1-0 in the top of the first, but ECCC answered with four including a three-run homer by Martin in the bottom of the frame and never looked back. In the bottom of the third, Hill grand slam homer highlighted East Central five-run effort to make it 9-1. Pearl River added a pair of runs in the top of the fifth to end the scoring. Starter Willard Bacon (5-1) got the win in his five innings on the mound, while Brock Ward relieved in the sixth and closed it out. Starter Robert Marzoni (6-3) of Purvis High got the loss in his two innings on the mound, while Beau Underwood out of St. Patrick High in Biloxi relieved in the third and Carlos Rios of Oak Grove High took over in the sixth. The Wildcats finished with six hits, led by Lewallen and Grae Orman of Clinton High with two singles each; while Smith and Toussaint had singles. The Warriors finished with seven hits, led by Hill home run and double; while Long doubled and singled, Martin homered, Carlos Leal doubled, and Tyler Brant singled. Pearl River resumes MACJC South Division play when it visits rival Mississippi Gulf Coast Friday for a 4 p.m. doubleheader before returning home to Wildcat Stadium Wednesday, April 27, to host division foe Hinds in a 4 p.m. twin bill. The Wildcats wrap their regular season Saturday, April 20, against division rival Copiah-Lincoln in a 1 p.m. doubleheader in Wesson.

Court Report
The Attorney General's office has re-filed their case against Aaron Wisdom, the owner of the container at Port in which customs agents allegedly discovered a marijuana substance, drug paraphernalia, guns and live ammunition two weeks ago.
The government's move to re-file followed when District Court Judge John Ward dismissed the charges against Wisdom Monday afternoon, after the government failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that a crime had been committed and that Wisdom had committed that crime.
Speaking with Samoa News, Assistant Attorney General Cable Poag said he called to the stand a Customs Agent and the lead police investigator. The government witnesses testified before the court about the alleged marijuana, guns and live ammunition that were found in Wisdom's container. Wisdom recently moved to American Samoa from San Diego, California.
The government in this case failed to have the witnesses identify the defendant in this matter. Judge Ward found no probable cause that a crime was committed and that Wisdom committed that crime and he dismissed the case. Ward's judgment followed the preliminary examination hearing on Monday.
Samoa News understands that Wisdom was taken back into custody of police and he's scheduled to make his initial appearance with the District Court today.
Wisdom is being held on bail of $20,000 on charges of unlawful possession of a controlled substance marijuana, possession of unlicensed firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition.
The High Court has accepted a plea agreement between the government and Sausaulele Siua, accused of assaulting a female back in 2010.
Siua was initially charged with felonious restraint, second degree assault and public peace disturbance. He pleaded guilty to second degree assault while the government moved to dismiss the remaining charges. The charges stemmed from an incident that occurred in April 2010. Second degree assault carries a jail term of five to fifteen years in jail and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
Associate Justice Lyle L Richmond was accompanied by Associate Judge Mamea Sala Jr. on the bench for this matter yesterday morning.
Siua told the court he was on his way home from a wedding party when someone threw stones at his vehicle. The court heard how the defendant stopped the vehicle, got out and punched the victim twice because he believed she was the one who had thrown the stones at his car. He said he was not aware that he had car keys in his hand when he was punching the girl.
The plea agreement that was read in the High Court states, the defendant's action left the girl with a big laceration on her forehead. Court filing says the cut on the victim's forehead required 12 stitches.
Before the judges accepted the plea deal, Richmond made it clear to the defendant that — despite recommendations by both parties on this matter — once he's sentenced, if he's not happy with the outcome, he may not come back to court to change his plea. The defendant assured the Judges that he's well aware of it.
The defendant, who's out on bail of $15,000 will be sentenced on February 23, 2012. Deputy Attorney General Mitzie Jessop Folau is prosecuting for the government and Assistant Public Defender Michael White represents the defendant.
The District Court has continued the government's case against Coast Guard Safety Detachment Unit Lieutenant Steven Caskey. He's accused of driving under the influence and careless driving December last year.
Assistant Public Defender Donna Clement said she had just received discovery from the police. Ward granted the request and said this should also allow both parties to continue the plea negotiations. Ward scheduled the case to February 14, 2012.
Lt. Caskey refused to sign his traffic ticket and that's what led to his arrest last year.
The prosecutor for this matter is Assistant Attorney General Cable Poag.

During yesterday's press conference Nokia started to show off the advertising campaigns it will be running for the Lumia 720, and we caught a brief glimpse of their new app "Glam Me". It's a very simple lens which is designed to aid self-portraiture using your front facing camera.
You start by taking a picture of your smiling face having framed it live using the camera. Not forgetting to show some teeth as the app will make use of those choppers later. Using Nokia's image processing APIs, some auto-correct magic is immediately applied to enhance skin tones and soften focus, and you're left with a corrected image.
That's not all though, you can then manually enhance certain features such as your eyes or teeth, enhancing/whitening them through the processing algorithms. Finally apply your favourite image filter to style your portrait (sketch is always a personal favourite) and as fast as you can say "artificial beauty" you have the best version of you.
No word yet on a release date for this app but we'll enquire through a few of our channels and update you accordingly. You can find a hands on video featuring the features of one Daniel Rubino below.

Street Address:
Don Newman was a photographer whose pursuit of the perfect shot once took him to the middle of one of the busiest streets in Memphis.
Standing on Union Avenue, the story goes, the photographer of iconic Memphis cityscapes went about his work, apparently heedless of the activity around him. Eventually, he was interrupted by a friend who suggested that the two men grab a bite to eat. Newman said he'd oblige if he could finishing getting his shot, which he did – four hours later.
Local photographer Gary Walpole demonstrates the operation of Don Newman's 8x10 film camera at the Crosstown Arts exhibit in which photos from the late Memphis photographer are on display through Jan. 11.
(Daily News/Andrew J. Breig)
The friends got that bite to eat, and Newman not only got his shot that day, but many others on many other days – helping the photographer, who died in 1994, leave behind a body of work that historically minded Memphians are still appreciating today.
Several images from Newman's archives, which are dominated by evocative portraits and moments in time his lens captured in shops, on street corners and against the backdrop of Memphis' architectural landmarks, are on display through Jan. 11 at Crosstown Arts.
The exhibit has been organized and is being presented by Memphis Heritage Inc.
"Don was an old school photographer," said local photographer Gary Walpole, who gave a talk at the gallery in recent days about Newman's techniques, which was attended by four generations of Newman's family.
"Back in his day, it was all big cameras and big film," Walpole said. "To think about somebody lugging hundreds of pounds of equipment out and standing in a busy street to get the shot is quite remarkable. Nowadays with digital, it's no big deal to run out there and do it, but there you are, set out with a great big tripod and camera and people whizzing by you – it was a pretty brave thing to do."
It was also the courage to capture a way of life in Memphis, to document it for history's sake. One photo in the collection is of a group of black female railway workers appearing to pose respectfully for Newman. There are street scenes, shots of pressmen, shots of places such as the old Harlem House building, the Sears building and a brightly lit, retro-looking Krispy Kreme restaurant, as well as a man appearing to fly via a jetpack.
Newman, who was born in 1919, did all his work by hand. That included taking the pictures, developing the film and printing them.
Since he used large-sized negatives because of his hefty camera, his photographs are able to be blown up considerably and still retain a large amount of detail.
"Some of the images are similar to what we've shown before – street scenes, Downtown architecture, things like that," said Memphis Heritage executive director June West. "There's also a tremendous amount of photographs just for the photographs' sake. We're trying to show Don's eye for photography. It just blows my mind the images he could get."
West said that after Newman's widow felt comfortable with Memphis Heritage's archiving of the collection, she gave the group "boxes and boxes" of negatives that Memphis Heritage has spent at least five years scanning and archiving.
The group has hundreds more in its files that aren't on the walls currently at Crosstown Arts.
"I think a lot of people who live in Memphis take a lot of things for granted," Walpole said. "I know he was aware of the beauty of the city and wanted to record that for future generations to see."

Can everyone please say prayers and keep everything crossed for Darcy over in Canada.
I only discovered Darcy's blog the other day. She is now in hospital, fighting for her life, with final stages of MVD.
Can everyone please say prayers and keep everything crossed for Darcy over in Canada.
I only discovered Darcy's blog the other day. She is now in hospital, fighting for her life, with final stages of MVD.
Darcy was a six year old beautiful tricolor female Cavalier from Ireland who lived with owners Kim and Jerry Thornton and two other Cavaliers in California. She developed an aggressive case of early-onset mitral valve disease at age 3 years. Her blog is at http://darcysdaily.blogspot.com/ and it is a very educational course in the progression of MVD, how it is treated, and the side effects and consequences of the disease and its medications. She died today, June 27.

Run free, Darcy, little one.
You have my prayers for a very brave little girl, Darcy. May she now be free and able to run and play at the bridge. This is indeed such sad news.
You are all in my thoughts, take care,
Alison, Wilts, U.K.
Hugs and prayers for sweet little Darcy.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance......
Oh I didn't know Darcy had crossed. I just wrote to Kim and Jerry Monday sending them good wishes. I just don't have it in me to read her blog. I was e-mailed a picture of her in her little wagon and that picture alone broke my heart.
Loving mom to Jake, Shelby and Micah
Darcy only passed away yesterday. Sadly, I only found her blog on Sunday, but I felt like I knew her already.Originally Posted by Cathy T
I was shedding tears for her yesterday when she was back in hospital.
Darcy was a brave and courageous Cavalier, and Kim and Jerry were brave and courageous too in sharing her story via her blog. I was referred to this site when my Ellie was in the last stages of her MVD and I do wish I had found it sooner. Darcey's blog is so educational, and imformative and yet speaks from the heart of folk who own a Cavalier and love that Cavalier with an unconditional love.Combined with a wish to eradicate this awful disease which affects so many Cavaliers and leads them to go to the Bridge too soon.
Although I never met Darcy, I feel like so many folk that we knew her personally and her courage shone through her postings albeit through her human carers who loved her enough to share her with the world.
Rest easy little one and play happy at the Bridge, you are sadly missed by all who were to know you via the Internet.
Anita, Gemma & Milly& Kizzy
I was in tears yesterday when I saw that darling little Darcy had crossed the bridge I'd been following her blog for ages & she was such a brave little angel.
Go run free with the bunnies now darling. Free from pain at last. We'll miss your daily thoughts and hope your Mom and Dad are OK xxxxx
What a brave little girl and family, am sitting here in tears...... life or God is so unfair.

Unless you've been living in an ice chest for the past couple of weeks, you've probably noticed that it's been a tad hot. Ok, really hot. Ok, really, REALLY hot. Like record-breaking hot. Just four days ago, when the heat indexed reached 110F in New York City, 188 cities across the United States broke high temperature records, and 138 more cities tied them. And if you're thinking that it's just your average heat wave, you're wrong. The fact is that the weather isn't what it used to be. The extreme highs, just like the extreme snow fall, rain, drought, flooding, and tornadoes, are because of climate change.
Senior Meteorologist Stu Ostro of Weather.com explained that the extreme highs are related to very high pressure in the atmosphere just a few miles above the Earth's surface. While there have always been extremes in weather, Ostro takes pains to point out the difference between our current extremes and what has happened in the past:
What's changing now is the nature of those extremes, and also what's important is the context.This time, the extreme drought, heat, and wildfires are occurring along with U.S. extremes this year in rainfall, snowfall, flooding, and tornadoes, and many other stunning temperature and precipitation extremes elsewhere in the world in recent years as well as, as I posted on my TWC Facebook "fan" page, record-shattering 500 millibar heights in high latitudes. And all of this is happening while there's an alarming drop in the amount of Arctic sea ice.
The nature and context of the extremes is the difference between the 1930s and now.
In the southern U.S. states like Arizona and Texas have been experiencing extreme temperatures since before summer even officially started. Because the soil has been so dry, this has made the temperatures even hotter because no energy from the sun goes into evaporating the moisture. The intense drought has cause massive dust storms, also known as haboobs, in Arizona, with one that was nearly 50 miles wide swallowing Phoenix. Just north of this, states in the Central U.S. are experiencing the other extreme: high rainfall and flooding.
Numbers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show that the Earth is 1.5 degrees warmer than it was in the 1970s, and the new average normals in 48 states have gone up. Heat has become the number one weather-related killer in the U.S. Heidi Cullen, a scientist at Climate Central and author of 'The Weather of the Future: Heat Waves, Extreme Storms, and Other Scenes From a Climate-Changed Planet,' explains what the "new normals" mean in a New York Times Op-Ed piece:
Drawing from methods used in epidemiology, a field of climate research called "detection and attribution" tests how human actions like burning fossil fuels affect climate and increase the odds of extreme weather events.Heat-trapping pollution at least doubled the likelihood of the infamous European heat wave that killed more than 30,000 people during the summer of 2003, according to a study in the journal Nature in 2004. And if we don't ease our grip on the climate, summers like that one will likely happen every other year by 2040, the study warned. Human actions have warmed the climate on all seven continents, and as a result all weather is now occurring in an environment that bears humanity's signature, with warmer air and seas and more moisture than there was just a few decades ago, resulting in more extreme weather.
The snapshots of climate history from NOAA can also provide a glimpse of what's in store locally in the future. Using climate models, we can project what future Julys might look like. For example, by 2050, assuming we continue to pump heat-trapping pollution into our atmosphere at a rate similar to today's, New Yorkers can expect the number of July days exceeding 90 degrees to double, and those exceeding 95 degrees to roughly triple. Sweltering days in excess of 100 degrees, rare now, will become a regular feature of the Big Apple's climate in the 2050s.
In other words, get used to it. Because the days aren't getting any cooler.
