20Sep2016 Market Close: US Markets Closed Flat After A Last Minute Sell-Off, WTI Back In The 46 Handle, US Dollar Tickles 96 And Gold Remains Steady Ahead Of The Fed Meeting
Written by Gary
Wall Street closed flat, green, but closed just in time, because another 5 minutes of trading the indexes would have been solidly in the red as there were a lack of BTFDers during the last minute sell-off. Crude Prices and the US dollar are back up, one of them has to give way. Indicators are bearish to neutral.

October 06, 2011, Santa Ana, Calif. –
CoreLogic (NYSE: CLGX), a leading provider of information, analytics and business services, today released its August Home Price Index (HPI) which shows that home prices in the U.S. decreased 0.4 percent on a month-over-month basis, the first monthly decline in four months. According to the CoreLogic HPI, national home prices, including distressed sales, also declined on a year-over-year basis by 4.4 percent in August 2011 compared to August 2010. This follows a decline of 4.8 percent* in July 2011 compared to July 2010. Excluding distressed sales, year-over-year prices declined by 0.7 percent in August 2011 compared to August 2010 and by 1.7* percent in July 2011 compared to July 2010. Distressed sales include short sales and real estate owned (REO) transactions.
"Although the calendar says August, the end of the summer traditionally marks the beginning of 'fall' for the housing market as it begins to prepare for 'winter.' So the slight month-over-month decline was predictable, particularly given the renewed concerns over a double-dip recession, high negative equity, and the persistent levels of shadow inventory. The continued bright spot is the non-distressed segment of the market, which is only marginally lower than a year ago and continues to exhibit relative strength," said Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic.
Highlights as of August 2011
Full-month August 2011 national, state-level and top CBSA-level data can be found at http://www.corelogic.com/About-Us/ResearchTrends/Home-Price-Index.aspx
*July data was revised. Revisions with public records data are standard, and to ensure accuracy, CoreLogic incorporates the newly released public data to provide updated results.
The CoreLogic HPI incorporates more than 30 years' worth of repeat sales transactions, representing more than 65 million observations sourced from CoreLogic industry-leading property information and its securities and servicing databases. The CoreLogic HPI provides a multi-tier market evaluation based on price, time between sales, property type, loan type (conforming vs. nonconforming), and distressed sales. The CoreLogic HPI is a repeat-sales index that tracks increases and decreases in sales prices for the same homes over time, which provides a more accurate "constant-quality" view of pricing trends than basing analysis on all home sales. The CoreLogic HPI provides the most comprehensive set of monthly home price indices and median sales prices available covering 6,587 ZIP codes (59 percent of total U.S. population), 608 Core Based Statistical Areas (86 percent of total U.S. population) and 1,142 counties (84 percent of total U.S. population) located in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Study Shows Girls Have Always Been Better at School
A new international peer-reviewed study has concluded that over the last century, girls have always outperformed boys to get higher grades in school. The findings, published in the American Psychological Association's Psychological Bulletin, reveal that the recent focus on a "boy crisis" in scholastic achievement is not based in historical data. Female students obtain equal or higher school marks in a broad range of studies, including language, math and science. This also dispels the myth that female students only excel at the arts and social sciences. The gap in grades is simply greater in these subjects.
The findings hold true across nationalities and race according to the Susan and Daniel Voyer, authors of the study and psychologists at the University of New Brunswick in Canada. The study assessed primarily American classroom grades but looked at results from students in two dozen other nations as well. The data was compiled from 306 education studies from 1914 to 2011 – capturing the school grades of one million students divided equally by girls and boys.
Scandinavian countries bucked the trend with virtually no difference in grades regardless of gender or subject. Co-author Daniel Voyer believes the results debunk prevailing stereotypes that have informed education policy for decades and continue to influence the debate on education trends and changes. For the last 100 years, girls have not lagged behind boys in math and science and the weaker school performance of boys in recent years is not a new phenomenon. Voyer also suggests that the superior performance of female university students should not be surprising. Male students simply had less competition in past decades when tertiary education at the college or university level was less acceptable for women and many fields of employment were available solely to men.
It is not all bad news for the guys, according to the authors of the study. They believe the data reveals an underlying failure of education systems around the world that perpetuates the underachievement of boys and the greater frequency of labeling male students as behavioral problems. There remains a gender gap, in part, because of entrenched stereotypes about male students as well. My husband would be the first to admit he received more family and peer encouragement for his sporting accomplishments than his academic performance. He was, after all, "just being a typical boy," or so he was told.
In contrast, societal pressures on girls to be polite, well-behaved and conscientious students may help them in the classroom setting but it can also limit their exploration and risk taking when it comes to learning different skills or exploring unique spheres of study. It is the reduction of these types of gender "norms," as well as the refusal to segregate students on the basis of performance and ability that may have contributed to the Scandinavian results – an equal opportunity for all to succeed without preconceived stereotypes.

This episode left me pulling my hair out … because I'm going to have to wait until March to see what happens next. This has been the best episode of Agents of Shield this season, by far. I normally don't like that they've answered questions with more questions, but the way in which they've been answered brings me back to the best episodes of Lost (and not the bad ones). So, let's dive in.
The Pieces Come Together
So we found out that the monolith that Nick Fury was hiding was a portal to a desolate planet, and on that planet was an ancient being. We knew from Skye's mother (I still refuse to call her Daisy), Jaiying, that the monolith would kill all the Inhumans. We assumed, incorrectly, that it was a weapon, not that it was the gateway to something that had been exiled long ago. We found out from Gideon Malick, Hydra's new fearless leader, that Hydra had been founded countless millennia ago to rescue and serve what is on the other side of the portal. The little hints dropped all season have all pointed to one thing, that what is on the other side of the portal is Death. Not just a metaphysical death, but a desolation. In a lot of ways, this makes sense. Hydra is the ultimate evil organization, and now we know that at it's core is a death cult. The word that has been associated with the chamber in which ancient Hydra used to send was "Maveth." Malick tells us it's Hebrew for Death. This was also in the scroll recovered by Fitz. The question has been whose death are we discussing.
Not That Death
I know what you fellow Marvel fans are thinking, and it's not that Death. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, there is a Eternal (ancient cosmic being) named Death, who Thanos desperately wants to love him. It would make sense if this was the actual Death Hydra is seeking, but I don't think so. Namely because we know that the being they're looking for is an Inhuman. Death is cosmic. I also don't think that Thanos would fall in love, or even really care about anything that came from a presumed failed Kree experiment. Also, setting up something this big would probably not be allowed by the MCU heads. Besides, the evidence points toward something that makes way more sense.
The Unspoken
I was unsure about this until this very episode, but here's my theory (based on the evidence). There is an obscure character from the comics, who is an Inhuman, who was exiled from their civilization, whose power is literally described as being able to do anything. This character is believed to be the living body of the terragenisis (the transformation process of becoming an Inhuman), so his power literally changed as he saw fit. In the comics he was deposed by Black Bolt (King of the Inhumans). He was then nursed back to health by the Alpha Primitives (human slaves of the Inhumans). I think that this is the same thing that was on the planet.
Hydra is an organization meant to serve this being, therefore they probably were founded by renegade Alpha Primitives. It would also jive with why they would build a temple to him on the alien planet (as seen in the latest episode). We see, as Fitz is leading Will to the portal off the planet, that there had been a civilization, and that this thing had killed them all, and Will begins discussing the downfalls of the original inhabitants and talking about how they became easily divided, and that they could have been great. He spoke like he had a ruler's perspective (or a former King's). The Unspoken is a big Inhuman's villain (like Lash), and as a result Lash may be the only way to stop him, seeing as conventional weapons can't. Plus, he's so obscure that if he is the one being used it won't interfere with the MCU that much.
At the same time, it still could be Death…

Marcelo stunner helps Real Madrid win and gives Benitez winning Bernabeu bow
Rafael Benitez got off to a winning start on his home debut as Real Madrid boss as Marcelo's brilliant individual effort handed the Spanish giants a 2-1 win over Galatasaray
Madrid: Rafael Benitez got off to a winning start on his home debut as Real Madrid boss as Marcelo's brilliant individual effort handed the Spanish giants a 2-1 win over Galatasaray. Nacho's first-half opener for the hosts had been cancelled out by former Madrid midfielder Wesley Sneijder early in the second period.

However, Madrid weren't to be denied victory in the friendly held to celebrate the Santiago Bernabeu trophy thanks to Marcelo's strike eight minutes from time. "The first day is always very exciting, but I was concentrating more on the game as is the job of a coach," said Benitez. "I saw plenty of positives and if we play like that I will be happy, but we still have plenty of margin to improve which is positive."
Benitez named close to his strongest available line-up just five days before Los Blancos kick-off their La Liga campaign away to Sporting Gijon. However, it was a less than convincing start from the hosts as Umut Bulut headed just wide for the Turkish side before Lukas Podolski forced Keylor Navas into his first save of a busy evening. Madrid did manage to break a two-game streak without scoring when defender Nacho headed home Luka Modric's corner after 17 minutes.
Isco was inches away from doubling Real's advantage with a lovely curling effort that clipped the bar before Bulut passed up a great chance to equalise when he blazed over from barely three yards out. Gareth Bale endured another largely frustrating night as he too failed to find the target with an effort from distance and was met with boos from sections of the home support.
And even Cristiano Ronaldo's eye for goal was awry as the World Player of the Year spooned a glorious opportunity over from Jese Rodriguez's fine cut-back with the last action of the first-half. Madrid were made to pay for that miss early in the second period when Sneijder levelled against his former side with a fine left-footed strike into the far corner.
Navas saved Benitez the embarrassment of going behind on his home debut with a stunning save from Sabri Sarioglu moments later. Both sides then made a raft of substitutions, but there was one moment of real quality left to decide the game as Marcelo skipped past three Galatasaray defenders before prodding the ball home at the near post.

What We Do
Our workplaces: many of us spend most of our lives in them. Often, these workplaces can be drab, dreary spaces in which people may feel anxious, uncomfortable, and unproductive. At DORIS, we help solve this problem by understanding people and empowering them to create spaces that are effective for the unique ways in which people work.
Simply put, we enable people to design, and in our world "design" means "problem solve." We visit our clients' offices or invite them to join us in our Design Lab. There, we ask them targeted questions that give us an understanding of who they are and what makes them tick. We solve design problems of all sizes, helping people find innovative solutions from within.
How We Work
First of all, we listen.
Maybe your office has dead zones or wasted space. Maybe your employees are disconnected, each of them working in silos. Maybe employee morale is low because people are uncomfortable. We use an innovative Design Thinking process to get to the bottom of these problems—or opportunities, as we like to call them. It isn't our job to just provide solutions for people, it is our job to equip them with the tools they need to create their own well-considered workspaces.
Using divergent and convergent thinking, we provide the process, and your people provide the content. This enables your team to move from abstract concepts to concrete ideas.
In short: we collaborate, support, and equip.
Simply put, we enable people to design, and in our world, design means problem solve.
Why This Works
It's a lesson you've learned since you were a kid: teamwork is important. We believe in the power of collective creativity, and we've found that when everyone contributes to the process, the results ultimately last much longer.
We don't want to sound like a bunch of hippies, but at DORIS, we live by an unofficial mantra: power to the people. That's why we always refer to people as people, and not just users, and we believe that those people, when they are actively engaged in the design process, will be better equipped to use their workspaces to the fullest potential.
Our Eight Step Process
Your employees spend lots of time in the office.
Does their workspace motivate them to do great work?
About DORIS
Our Story
DORIS is the result of a graduate-level thesis project. Our founder, Sam Julka, believed there had to be a better way to create work environments. In her final year of graduate school, Sam worked on a research project that provided people-centered solutions to common workplace woes. In the process, she designed a toolkit of valuable research methods, and DORIS was born.
Because DORIS believes passionately in connecting with and understanding people, it makes sense there is also a face behind the letters: Doris Sodersten, Sam's grandmother. The legendary Doris was born on a farm in a small Wisconsin town. As a young woman, she moved to the south side of Chicago and lived to the ripe old age of ninety-eight. Doris' farm girl problem solving skills combined with her big city street smarts embodied a spirit of ingenuity, positivity, and "get it done"-ness that informed and inspired the vision of DORIS as a company.
Our Founder
A graduate of Indiana University's Herron School of Art and Design, Sam Julka is an enthusiastic and compassionate design researcher who is committed to the belief that design can change the world. Sam is a listener, and she's incredibly empathetic—two skills that make her incredibly good at what she does.
If you tell Sam a sad story do not be surprised if you see a tear well up. Fear not: she has a firm grip on reality. She is just passionate about her work and thinks the key to making change in a complex world is listening to people's struggles and enabling them to become positive change agents.
Sam lives in an historic downtown Indianapolis neighborhood with her husband Chris, their twin boys—Jasper and Henry—and their dog, Porter. Though she doesn't consider herself a professional photographer, she loves taking photos and is never without her camera. She also spends her rare moments of spare time playing golf, shopping locally, and walking to nearby restaurants.
Throughout the course of her education, Sam worked on several people-centered projects that helped inform the collaborative Design Thinking process she uses to this day. With this process, she helps empower people—especially people who don't consider themselves designers—to improve their workplaces.
A recent study indicates that creativity is the number one thing CEOs look for in their employees.
What does your workspace do to encourage creativity?
A Space for Serendipitous Encounters
When a mid-sized sales organization realized that its 50 employees were working in small, exclusionary groups rather than as a unified team, they knew they needed to change some things. Silos like this inhibit the sharing of knowledge between groups and ultimately can stifle creativity and innovation. See how DORIS helped them solve a communication problem by co-creating a new space within their office that allowed for serendipitous, meaningful encounters.
Sharing our Story
An organization with two recently remodeled office locations needed to determine how their sales team might consistently and compellingly tell their story through elements within their space.
Next Project
We understand that design processes can be lengthy and expensive. But if you find yourself knowing that your organization needs real, carefully considered change from within, we believe that the DORIS approach to design thinking can help move you forward. In fact, we fit best in situations where a "fuzzy" problem has been discovered, but no solution has been found. If you have a general idea of what you want, but you don't know exactly how to get there, we look forward to working with you soon.
You want to encourage your employees to invest in their work.
What are you doing to promote your internal entrepreneurs?
Become a Client
Who Needs Us
Do we need to work with a company like DORIS? You're probably asking yourself that, and it's a fair question. We know that design processes can be lengthy and expensive.
But if you've ever found yourself saying something like "we know something needs to change in our space, but we don't really know what it is or where to start," then we are your place. In fact, we fit best in situations where a "fuzzy" problem has been discovered, but no solution has been found. Most of our clients have a general idea of what they want, but they also don't know exactly how to get there.
Who We Are Not
First, let's get this out of the way: if you're looking for an interior designer, graphic designer, or product designer, you've come to the wrong place. Phew, we got that off our chest. We are a design research organization looking to gather valuable insights from your team. We provide you and your people with an engaging experience that honors your value system and uses it to create lasting, meaningful change.
We are design researchers, not design implementers. At the end of your project, we will hand you a brief or a planning matrix, not a construction document, identity system or product drawings.
Your Commitment
We hope you get it by now: DORIS isn't for everyone. If you are a small team of executives making decisions for everyone else, we are not your solution. If you like to dictate change to the rest of your organization, we are not for you. If you are interested in excluding people from your design process, you might want to look elsewhere.
We ask for access to everyone within your organization. We like to build trust and engage your people in the process. When you work with us, we are asking you to commit to making the process the best it can possibly be.
It's a big commitment, but we've seen it work. In fact, we believe in it so much, it's the only way we like to do business.
We provide you and your people with an engaging experience that honors your value system and uses it to create lasting, meaningful change.
Participatory Design Research
Many times your employees have the solutions that move your business forward.
What are you doing to capitalize on the wisdom of your workforce?
The Lab
How it Works
We help people create better spaces, so it is important to us that we have a pretty cool space of our own. We like to call it The Lab. It's in a 2,000 square foot brick building that was built in the 19th century, and we've completely reimagined it to serve as a space where clients can come spend time with us.
It's one of our favorite tools we use, and it gets used a LOT. Groups collaborate there, white boards wait to be filled with new ideas, and wide open spaces give plenty of space to think and play. It is a great safe space for groups to block out all the noise of their everyday work and focus deeply on the challenges they face.
The lab is open to anyone and everyone. All we ask is that you come in with an open mind and plan on leaving with some great new ideas.
Research has shown that employee turnover can be very costly.
Does your environment attract and retain top talent?

This question I hope, means I am not alone. No, I do not read the inside flap nor do I read the back. I feel both give too much away and I want to experience the book for myself, rather than having some notion of what is going to unfold.

The Achilles tendon is the largest and most vulnerable tendon in the body. It joins the gastrocnemius (calf) and the soleus muscles of the lower leg to the heel of the foot. The gastrocnemius muscle crosses the knee, the ankle, and the subtalar joints and can create stress and tension in the Achilles tendon. Tendons are strong, but not very flexible, so they can only stretch so far before they get inflamed and tear or rupture.

Causes of Achilles Tendon Rupture

The exact cause of Achilles tendon ruptures is hard to say. It can happen suddenly, without warning, or following an Achilles tendonitis. It seems that weak calf muscles may contribute to problems. If the muscles are weak and become fatigued, they may tighten and shorten.

Overuse can also be a problem by leading to muscle fatigue. The more fatigued the calf muscles are, the shorter and tighter they will become. This tightness can increase the stress on the Achilles tendon and result in a rupture. This injury happens most often to "weekend warriors," according to the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, middle-aged people who get their athletic activity in only on their days off.

Additionally, an imbalance of strength of the anterior lower leg muscles and the posterior lower leg muscles may also put an athlete at risk for an injury to the Achilles tendon.

An Achilles tendon rupture is more likely when the force on the tendon is greater than the strength of the tendon. If the foot is dorsiflexed while the lower leg moves forward and the calf muscles contract, a rupture may occur. Most ruptures happen during a forceful stretch of the tendon while the calf muscles contract.

Steroids and some antibiotics are also linked to Achilles tendon rupture. Many doctors avoid cortisone shots in or near the Achilles tendon due to this association.

Signs and Symptoms of Achilles Tendon Rupture

A classic sign of an Achilles tendon rupture is the feeling of being hit in the Achilles area. There is often a "pop" sound. There may be little pain or a sudden pain in the area, but the person cannot lift up onto his toes while weight bearing, and walking uphill or upstairs is difficult. Swelling may appear on the back of the leg in the Achilles area.

You should seek immediate medical attention after the injury. The doctor will perform a physical examination and discuss what happened. That is usually enough to make the diagnosis, although sometimes an MRI may be ordered.

Achilles Tendon Rupture Treatment

A completely ruptured Achilles tendon requires surgery and up to 12 weeks in a cast or walking boot. Surgery is preferred because it has a lower rate of re-rupture compared with non-surgical treatment. Partial tears are sometimes are treated with surgery following by a cast.

Because the tendon shortens as it heals, a heel lift is used for six months, or more after the cast comes off. Physical therapy to regain flexibility and then strength is begun as soon as the cast is off.

A grand and epic look at few outsiders surviving the self-destruction of a corrupt and unstable culture. This film is worth studying.

This movie is brilliant, an animation watermark, but the source material is far better. I don't want to be a 'book was better' douche, but people who loved the film really need to get hold of the comics. When you're familiar with the manga the movie feels like a highlight reel and a lot of issues with the plot make sense in context. It lends itself much better to a show format than film and I always hoped they'd get round to turning it into a show.

This has made it onto the top 10 films I have ever seen. When searching for the image above, I also came across the fact that the average review for it is very poor, between one and three stars, which initially (and stupidly) shocked me.
This film is truly amazing and or a variety of reasons, but primary amongst them is that it is a very real portrayal of what happens when Political Correctness becomes the ideology of the day. And yes, I really do mean that, and yes, the emphasis on Political Correctness is indeed on Political. But do not be fooled.

1 package frozen Phyllo sheets – defrost for at least 24 hours in fridge
4 finely chopped walnuts
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon zest
3 Tablespoons cinnamon
1 pound melted butter
1 1/2 cups honey
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 lemon, seeded and cut in quarters
!Assemble the following:
1 13-inch x 9-inch pan
1 pastry brush, or use a 2 1/2-inch paint brush just for this purpose
1 large sheet waxed paper
1 cotton hand towel
1 sharp Paring knife
1 pair kitchen shears (if available)
1 package foil lined cupcake papers
Combine the walnuts, cinnamon, lemon zest, sugar and set aside.
Open the Phyllo sheets onto the waxed paper and split along the middle fold to create rectangular sheets that will be slightly larger than the 13-inch x 9-inch pan.
Cover the Phyllo with dish towel. Turn off the ceiling fan if you have one.
Brush the pan lightly with melted butter.
sheets at a time, place Phyllo in pan gently patting into corners with brush to avoid large air pockets. Gently brush melted butter between each double layer.
** the bottom of the pan should have about 16-20 sheets or 8-10 double layers.
*** don't soak the Phyllo with butter, just moisten it.
Spread 1/2 of the nut filling over the Phyllo.
Place 2 double layers (4 sheets) of Phyllo over the mixture.
Spread the 2nd half of the nut mixture onto the thin middle layer of Phyllo.
Repeat the process that was done for the bottom layers of Phyllo using 16-20 sheets or 8-10 double layers.
** this is a lot like making Lasagna.
Trim the Phyllo that is extended over the sides of the pan, but keep the filling enclosed in Phyllo.
Place pan in fridge for 15 minutes till the butter has solidified.
Score the top layers of Phyllo with a sharp paring knife in a diamond pattern, cutting deep enough to reach the top layer of nuts.
* you should yield 48-60 pieces.
Bake in a 350-Degree F oven till golden brown. Approximately 45-55 minutes. Do not under bake. Cool on wire rack.
** the Phyllo will curl up where it was scored.
Combine the honey, sugar, water and lemon quarters and bring to gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
*****Skim off the foam that will form and discard the lemon once cooking time is completed.
Once the Baklava is baked and cooled, pour the hot syrup slowly over the cooled Baklava till absorbed. You'll probably have a little less than a cup of extra syrup which is fantastic on French toast or pancakes.
When completely cooled cut each row all the way through and place in foil lined cups.
You may cut a row at a time as you use the Baklava to keep the pieces intact.
This can be frozen unbaked, after baking-before adding the syrup or after completely prepared.
**it's best to pour hot syrup over cool Baklava OR cool syrup over hot Baklava.

Tekla Labs has surveyed twenty labs from countries throughout Latin American and Africa to identify the specific equipment needs of researchers around the globe. We found that over 50% of researchers surveyed are in need of and would be willing to build their own:
microscopes, media rotators, fluorometers, sterilization equipment, spectrophotometers, PCR machines, incubators, water baths, hot plate/magnetic stirrers, pH meters, electrophoresis chambers, sonicators, UV lamps, tissue culture hoods, centrifuges, and ELISA plate readers.
By submitting a design for one of these pieces of equipment to our Instructables competition, you are not only eligible to win one of our grand prizes AND a 3D printer, but also will be providing a real life solution for a researcher in need!
Meet the scientists
So who are these researchers you will be helping? We have formed partnerships with many wonderful scientists from a number of different settings worldwide – including university research labs, government research facilities, and high school and university classrooms. The map above outlines the locations of all our international partners; and the pictures are of our featured scientists, who you can learn more about in the bios below!
Featured Researchers:
Johann Osma, PhD: Johann is a faculty member in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics at Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, Colombia. His lab focuses on the design and manufacturing of biosensors and microsystems, especially those dedicated to microfluidics, for food and environmental security and monitoring. Half of his lab conducts research while the other half is dedicated to building equipment so that the former can focus on their research instead of having to solve minor problems related to the operation and test of devices.
Amparo Zavaleta, PhD: Amparo is a faculty member in the Department of Pharmacy and Biochemistry at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Lima, Peru. Her research focuses on the use of microbial biodiversity of extreme ecological niches for the production of enzymes and metabolites of industrial interest.

Road Under Construction
Date: 9/8/96 at 23:13:54 From: Anonymous Subject: How Much Road Was Under Construction? Adam made a trip to see his college friend. The college is 295 miles from Adam's house. He averaged 50 miles per hour (mph)) for most of the trip but only 40 mph for the part where the road was under construction. If the trip took 6 hours, how many miles of the road were under construction?
Date: 9/9/96 at 22:59:19 From: Doctor Jerry Subject: Re: How Much Road Was Under Construction? Here's a suggestion for getting started on this problem. Concentrate first on the times needed for the two parts of the trip. Once you have the times, then you can figure out the two distances. If T1 and T2 are the times (in hours) for the good road and bad road parts of the trip, then T1 + T2 = 6. The distances travelled during the two parts of the trip would be 50*T1 and 40*T2. You can form these two into an equation and then solve the two equations in two unknowns. Okay? -Doctor Jerry, The Math Forum Check out our web site! http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

GM Leads in Energy Reduction Challenge
General Motors now has 54 facilities meeting the voluntary energy reduction challenge set by the EPA. General Motors has cut energy costs more than any other company nationwide and saved close to $90,000,000!
To be a part of the challenge for industry, the EPA required facilities to reduce energy intensity by 10% within 5 years. GM has cut energy intensity by 26% in just 3 years! This reduction resulted in 1,256,000 tons of C02 is equal to the amount of electricity needed to power more than 142,069 homes, or a city the size of New Orleans for an entire year.
New to the list are 22 GM international Operations sites and two facilities in North America. These facilities join the 30 GM plants that are already that met the challenge last year. This was achieved by benchmarking energy use, upgrading to energy-efficient lighting, improving control of ventilation systems and automating the shut-down process of equipment that previously was shut down manually as well as process energy reductions. This is just part of GMs ongoing energy efficiency program dedicated to reducing GMs carbon footprint.
In 2012, the EPA named GM one of its Energy Star Partners of the Year for energy management.
Congratulations, General Motors!

Hello Doctors and fellow fibroid strugglers. I'm 37 years old and have been struggling with a life changing posterior uterine fibroid that has been growing the past 3 years. It first started giving me pain at 3x3cm and now its 5x6cm. I have had 2 Gyn Drs tell me to leave it alone unless I had severe pain. I have dealt with severe back pain, severe bloating, lower pelvic pain traveling down to my knee and sometimes pain to the point of nausea and keeling over in bed until the Advil kicked in.

Hello, All your symptoms can be related to nuva ring use. NuvaRing is a contraceptive device. Like oral contraceptives ("The Pill"), it prevents pregnancy by providing a steady level of the female hormones estrogen and progestin.However, various side effects of using theses have been reported.It can cause nausea and vaginal inflammation and discharge.In some cases it has been associated with vaginitis and genital infections like candidiasis.

Anything with a high level of

but my husband and I did not like it. We really want to wait awhile to have children and we are currently using the "withdrawal" method which can lead to accidents. I am thinking of trying Norplant, I have heard good things about it but I'm not sure I want something implanted under my skin when I can't even handle an oral contraceptive. Does anyone have this?

I can't agree on taking the pill. The
involved with those scripts can damage other things. Best thing to do is run the appropriate labs to look at the symptoms first FHS - LH - estrogen Progesterone and testosterone and balance those ratios. If thyroid level are off - then run all 3 TSH - FT3 and FT4 and again ratio out the Free Testing to see if she actually is low.

But I have to figure out a way to control the pain now without it being the high

well you are certainly brave, given your
of reaction to hormonally based contraception.. The only choice you have is to work with your doctor and go systematically through different chemical configurations. It sound doubtful that you will tolerate them but you don't know for sure unless you try. I have talked to gynecologists recently who feel Mirena is a highly reliable IUD with few sideeffects for most people- however it is a progestin product- so it may affect you as the others have.

The doctors first suspected my brain and did an MRI on it 2 years ago. The nurse spent roughly 45 seconds blazing through the images and then told me I was fine. I felt a little unsure about that prognosis and went back to my main doctor. She told me to forget the brain and just stop worrying. So, for almost 2 years I ignored all the symptoms. Ignoring = being miserable. So I was at the chiropractor about 2 weeks ago. I talk to him alot about these problems.

I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a slightly low TSH
. At least 6 months later, I get diagnosed with slightly raise levels of testosterone/androgens. Apparently, birth control is how androgen levels are decreased and I was on it, so my gyno put me on lupron for 2 months (a drug that induces menopause temporarily- NOT supposed to be used for PCOS). It helped lower the levels, and then I went off lupron and the levels went back up.

on my own and it was in the normal range!! I also got results back from my physical that I had elevated liver enzymes and am supposed to come back in August to re-test. Dr. said it wasn't something to worry about, but it still worries me a little. Also I've lost about 3-5lbs after getting off the pill and my hair has been coming out a lot more..

Interesting, klouise. After my last pap (which just a couple of months ago), my doctor told me I had "damaged cells" on my cervix and gave me a one-dose vaginal suppository antibiotic. He was not able to give me a viable reason as to why or how it happened, and I'm confused as to how it was never noticed before. I just had another pap to see if the antibiotic did any good. But like you, my paps have all been normal.

The more adipose means more
. If there's an excess of
, the body can bleed excessively or be fooled into thinking it is pregnant. A hormone called "prolactin", which normally rises during breast feeding and stops ovulation/menstruation, can also rise because of a disturbance in the chest wall, as a consequence of hormonal fluctuations or imbalances or for reasons unknown. It is not really fair to simply dismiss your bleeding irregularities to your weight.

After treatment, I started the
and had 3 normal cycles and I thought I was cured... and then it began again... I have been on my period for 6 months now... My OB/Gyn changed me to Femcon which only made the cramps much worse, then changed to Nordette and that did not help at all... So I stopped taking all birth control about 6 weeks ago and this month, my periods have slowed down to about every 2 weeks which is better... but I still need to be on birth control.

Hi there, I'm new to this and a little confused. My doctor just told me yesterday that I have hypothyroid, my TSH level is 12.4 which is "very high" and my husband and I should immediately stop trying to get pregnant because we will most likely miscarry if we can even manage to conceive. We have been trying for 4 months with no luck and no periods. It sounds like some of you have had levels waaaay higher than that though and have managed to concieve and even carry to term.

The first time the acutely raised liver enzymes was due to me not tolerating the

A cause was never found, but a thought was that it could have been caused to me not tolerating certain vitamins (as the liver enzymes went back to normal once I ceased the vitamin intake, as multiple tests (incl.

For the remaining 3 relationships (including the last, my husband), I have tried to use
(a vaginal contraceptive). Each time, after using it for a few months, I had to stop, because of the intense burning and pain inside and out of my vagina. Although the pain seemed to go away after a few months of not using it, the last two relationships ended about then. Scary to think if they were related. So, beware of Nuvaring! I can't believe I didn't see the trend.

Then Planned Parenthood changed me to Ortho tri cyclen lo after 5 years which screwed me up wicked.. Had spotting every week when I transitioned from dose

It worked for a while and then it started getting screwed up again. Now I am on
and I am not bleeding irregularly anymore, but I have had the same problem you have since I started birth control. I have not masturbated without heavy bleeding (very very dark blood) since I started the depo as I recall,and most of the time I bleed throughout and/or after intercourse. I had the same result on my papsmear as well, so there must be a connection.

My son has had 3 major surgeries since January and I noticed I had very heavy bleeding and tenderness (it felt like my uterus hurt) but again, it went away when the stress
went down. I do agree that no one BC method works for everyone since everyone's bodies are so different. But it's been GREAT for me. When I was on the BCP before our daughter was born, it really affected my moods and my sex drive. It took me forever to feel ready to have sex.

She said that women experiencing a lot of bleeding on Seasonique typically need a pill with a higher
of progesterone, so she switched me to Junel (I think that's the spelling?). I started the new pill on Sunday and after just 2 days, the bleeding is beginning to subside. I still have a little spotting and need a pantyliner, but it's not nearly what I had experienced for the past 8 weeks! I definitely think you might want to talk to your doctor and discuss any other options.

Welcome back!
I'd not realised it had been two weeks.
I assume you won't be recommending Orange as an ISP in future?

It's actually been nearer 4 weeks but I did'nt mention it on here for a while as I always have loads of links in reserve, so to speak.
On March the 17th I received an email from Orange saying they were upgrading the line and I may experience slower speeds than normal for upto 10 days. The problem was my speed dropped 128k and it lasted for almost 4 weeks!
When everything works Orange internet and phone is a great deal for me pricewise but the tech support is the worst I've ever known.
Saying that, I've never heard from anyone about good tech support whoever they are with.

The debate this week has been whether Joey Galloway or Roy Williams was Jerry Jones' worst trade. So who better to settle it than the man who dealt for both.
"I'd personally have to flip a coin on that," Jones said, refusing to settle the bet.
Galloway cost Jones two first-round picks and was signed to a seven-year, $42 million deal. He played in 48 games, catching 151 passes for 2,341 yards and 12 touchdowns before being traded for Keyshawn Johnson. The Cowboys won no playoff games with him.
Williams caught 94 passes for 1,324 yards and 13 touchdowns in 40 games for the Cowboys. He cost the Cowboys a first- and third-rounder, and Dallas signed him to a five-year, $45 million extension. The Cowboys released him this week.
"I'd love to have that trade back," Jones said. "But I know what a prospect that he was leaving Texas, and I know that he had some phenomenal production in Detroit. He did have some."
But Jones said neither Galloway nor Williams rates as his worst trade ever.
"I've made a lot worse mistakes. I have," Jones said. "Matter of fact – and I'm not trying to be cute and I'm not necessarily just referring to that type of mistake. If you said with draft picks, with a roster… We gave a [second-] and a [fifth-round pick] for Alonzo Highsmith when we had two doctor letters – one given to me at two different times – saying this guy will never play again. It's bone on bone [in his knee], and we gave a two and a five for him. OK? That was kind of some gutty things. I've personally made mistakes that I think are of this magnitude."
In a text message, Highsmith, now a scout for the Packers, agreed that he was Jones' worst trade ever.
"No doubt," Highsmith texted, "but I told them my knee was messed up."

Spencer County Couple Arrested for Sexual Abuse of a Minor
Date of News Release: 01/27/2014
(Campbellsburg, KY) - A Spencer County couple was arrested by Troopers with Kentucky State Police Post 5 on Friday (1/24) on charges of sexually abusing a juvenile girl. An investigation by Detectives at Post 5 shows that Laura Pike, 38 years old from Fisherville, KY, and her boyfriend Brett Smith, 36 years old from Fisherville, KY, allegedly sexually abused Pike's daughter while living in Henry County. Pike and Smith were charged with Sodomy, Sexual Abuse, and Unlawful Transaction with a Minor. Additionally, Pike was charged with Incest. All of the charges are with a victim under the age of 12. Warrants in Henry County were obtained for both of the perpetrators and were served Friday afternoon at their residence in Spencer County. Pike is currently lodged at the Carroll County Detention Center and Smith is lodged at the Shelby County Detention Center.
Detective Tim Moore is leading the ongoing investigation. Detective Moore was assisted by the Spencer County Sheriff's Department.

CBS Corporation will report its Q4 2013 earnings on February 12. We expect another solid quarter with growth across its segments. The company's broadcasting network in Q3 2013 had benefited from solid summer programming. In Q4, it will again be the programming that includes NCIS, The Big Bang Theory and NFL On
See our complete analysis for CBS
CBS Ratings Continue To Grow
CBS has remained at the top in ratings (total viewers) due to high demand for its content. The media company telecasts NFL football games and they account for highest ratings. CBS said its regular-season schedule averaged 18.7 million viewers, a 6% increase over last year's 17.7 million viewers. In terms of scripted series, The Big Bang Theory and NCIS continue to lead the ratings in key demogrphics for the broadcasting network. The company in its third quarter earnings call stated that both of these shows are pulling in more than 20 million viewers a week. CBS will benefit from the success of all these shows and the company's focus on original programming will continue to aid its overall growth.
Trends In Advertisement Sending Supportive
Television ad spending in the U.S. has been supportive for the content owners. During Q3 2013, the company witnessed 4% growth in ad revenues to $1.86 billion, primarily driven by the growth at the CBS Television Network and CBS Interactive. The advertising market has trended well in 2013, despite the absence of the Olympics or high political spending. By the end of the first three quarters of 2013 (latest Nielsen data available), global advertising spend grew by 3.2% as compared to the prior year period. However, the North American region saw a slight decline of 1.3% during the same period. This can be attributed to the absence of heavy political advertisements versus the prior year. Television as a medium continues to show steady growth. With a 4% increase in advertising spend for the third quarter of 2013, it accounted for 58% of the overall market, according to Nielsen estimates. Content owners such as CBS will benefit from the advertising growth as more than 50% of CBS' value comes from advertising related businesses, according to our estimates. We believe that CBS will benefit from its continued focus on original programming, evident from the performance of Under The Dome in the previous quarter. CBS will air Amblin Entertainment's Extant starring Halle Berry in the coming summer season. The company has already started to see the benefits from the show and recently inked a deal with Amazon for Extant's exclusive content licensing.

But if X11BASE/include/X11/xpm.h doesn't exist (not XFree86 4.0, and either xpm uninstalled or installed using xpkgwedge), the Makefile drops down to the last else, thus setting DEPENDS to xpm. Thus xpm depends on xpm, which depends on xpm... >How-To-Repeat: Go to start building packages on nice new fast machine. Do 'make build-depends-list' as matter of course.

However, that problem is more widespread, and also applies to MOTIFBASE, etc. It is a vestige of attempting to allow a mix of xpkgwedged and non-xpkgwedged USE_X11BASE packages to be installed, and fixing it would probably require a lot of '.if exists', and is beyond the scope of this pr.) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:

Ah, the Mediterranean. Few places so capture the idea of a classic (and oh so classy) European beach vacation. With azure waters and coastlines dotted with tiny hamlets and seaside cities, the Mediterranean region is one of the most beautiful in Europe. Bordering a dozen countries in Europe (Spain, France, Italy, and Croatia among the more popular) as well as several in Asia and Africa, it conjures images of lazy days at the beach followed by cool nights dining on fresh seafood to a soundtrack of crashing waves.
But not every adventure in the Mediterranean region fits this mold. So this week we're exploring the area a bit more thoroughly, from the classic and cliched to the undiscovered and unusual.
First up, we'll check out the "other side" of the French Mediterranean with a look at five lesser known destinations in Southern France. Then we're off to Sardinia to seek out the best of this rugged and less-visited island. On Wednesday, Adam Seper will show you how you can include Europe on your RTW trip – without breaking the bank. Later in the week, we'll discover some of the best Mediterranean islands and then learn about some interesting – and unknown to many – prehistoric sites around the world.

A crowd of tourists, kids and nearby officeworkers couldn't help gawking at the installation of the giant "Three Heads Six Arms" sculpture on the east end of Civic Center Plaza.
During assembly, crews had to work from inside the piece and exit through the massive arms. When the last arm was attached, the only way out was through a hidden trap door at the top of one of the heads.
Liz Hafalia/The Chronicle
The Buddhist-inspired copper artwork by Chinese artist Zhang Huan and presented by the San Francisco Arts Commission, is making its world debut as part of a celebration marking the 30-year-old sister-city relationship between San Francisco and Shanghai.
Installation of the sculpture, which stands 25 feet tall and weighs 15 tons, is expected to be completed May 7. The official dedication for San Francisco's newest public art piece is set for 10 a.m. May 12 and will be on display through 2011.

Tim Hardaways stats....PPG 14.9 Rebounds 4.6 Ast 2.2
Wow your a fool like I said 15! Dumb behind
Games that matter Tim scored
Pittsburgh 16
Kansas state 23
NC state 16
West Virginia 25
Ohio State 12
Indiana 18
Ohio state 23
Wisky 18
Indiana 11
Wisky 14
Last two tourney games 21 and 14 respectively!
And your dumb behind isnt worried about Tim Hardaway are you a fool? Glenn Robinson is good yeah but doesnt mean near as much to the team as Hardaway. Your a homer that has no clue what hes talking about.
One game above hardaway didnt show up for and thats MSU and guess what neither did any of the other wolverines. Maybe you should stop posting and take your world renowed knowledge of Kansas and leave!
Nice try
Timmy hardaway means more to this team than you think!
How can you predict anything about how Mcgary will do against Kansas you fool he hasnt started more than 4 games all year look at his average time played verss fouls!
Mitch averages a foul every 8 MINUTES! 40/8=5 which equates to him fouling out if he played 40 minutes which he doesnt! I guess my bullshit comment on him getting in foul trouble has some validity!
By the way you are 22 years old! haha telling me to stop gambling well I have stopped! I play only when I see value and that has only happened 3 times in a few months! One more thing the best advice for you young man is stop betting you cant beat this. Ive been on this site since 2007 and your telling me to stop haha. 2012 well folks we got a rookie here telling someone with experience what to do!
Good luck with your LITTLE TEAM!
Final comment I see no value on any side other than Michigan but its a no PLAY for me! I said michigan would cover SDSU and VCU and talked about my homerism on the board. I will NOT be better Michigan in this game as I fear Kansas defense may overwhelm GR!!! and Stauskas!

Handmade Double wedding ring quilt..... What would you think about getting one as a wedding present?
My best, closest, dearest friend of 13 years is getting married later this year. She has requested I not buy her anything for her wedding. I am her matron of Honor and I have already been warned she will be tapping me for a lot of help doing stuff.
She said I could make her something. But she would kick my ass if I bought her anything. I can't just give my best friend (basically my sister) NOTHING for her wedding.
So I want to make her a Quilt. A Double Wedding Ring quilt to be exact. My question is to to you guys. What would you think if you were given a Handmade Double Wedding Ring quilt? Is it to old Fashioned? To hokey?
I would love it! Nothing better than a handmade gift made with love!
I am. The good thing about her being my best friend I know her well. I am going to do one in browns, neutrals and dark red. Which will is the theme in her bedroom (should she decide to use it) or in her living room (if she wanted to display it instead)
Quoting unsuspected:
I would cherish it and feel honored. Just make sure you choose a color scheme she loves.

Thai Yoga Massage for Athletes
A basic massage is a treatment that involves rubbing or kneading the muscles as an aid to relaxation. Thai Massage is a more active approach performed on a padded floor mat instead of a table. You will remain fully clothed and no oils/lotions need to be applied. The Thai Massage Therapist will use various parts of her body to open energy lines and break up toxins which are stored within your body. The therapist will use passive stretching and gentle pressure along energy lines to adjust the skeletal structure, increasing your flexibility and softening your muscle tissue.Read More

Unbelievable: Last Friday, it was reported that Greece was threatening to quit the Euro Zone and there would be an emergency meeting. The Eurogroup Chairman flat-out told the media that there would be no meeting. And now, it looks like he simply lied. Why? To preserve the euro in the face of crisis. That is, to trick people into not dumping the Euro:
"We had certain necessities to consider. . . . We had Wall Street open at that point in time. . . There was a very good reason to deny that the meeting was taking place. . . . self-preservation."
I found the story at Zero Hedge, who captures my outrage well:
At this point Europe no longer even attempts to hide that everything is one big lie, and that should the truth emerge the market will crash more than ever in history. And why would the US be any different? It woulnd't [sic] which is why we can now safely say that pretty much any information coming out from the government and its proxies that has a stock market impact is false until proven true. Of course, for everything else, one can blame the conspiratorial blogs…
That's it for today. I was running all over last night, attending to different kid functions.Bookmark it: del.icio.us | Reddit | Slashdot | Digg | Facebook | Technorati | Google | StumbleUpon | Window Live | Tailrank | Furl | Netscape | Yahoo | BlinkList

The euro is crushing the dollar. Fairly soon, it's going to impact exports for European manufacturers. Seems logical that they'd want the Euro to weaken a bit.

"…to trick people into not dumping the Euro."
So…are we to feel compassion for currency speculators?

I hadn't given that much thought. I'm just disturbed that government officials would flat-out lie like that, then turn around and admit they lied, but still expect the sheople to continue to trust them.

"I'm just disturbed that government officials would flat-out lie like that, then turn around and admit they lied, but still expect the sheople to continue to trust them."
For the normal European who doesn't speculate in currency, the "Eurogroup Chairman" has done a great thing in saving their Euro-denominated life savings from evaporating in the midst of a speculative attack from a bunch of rich foreigners.
Think about it this way: you're an Irish brick layer. All of your money is Euros. This guy lies so the Euro doesn't suddenly lose value. Are you upset that this guy lied? Heck no; if you follow financial news at all, you're thrilled that this guy just protected your money from a bunch of rich b-st–ds who make their money betting on financial ruin.
I don't care for the "Eurozone", but the European-on-the-street isn't hurt at all by this (hence the bank's candidness in saying, "yeah, we lied"). The only people hurt by this are money speculators, to which I say, boo hoo – you can't make a profit and depreciate other peoples' savings. I feel *so* sorry for you.

Sunanda Pushkar, The cremation took place around 5.30 pm at the Lodhi crematorium in south Delhi, near the couple's residence in Lodhi Estate.
Earlier, doctors who performed post-mortem Pushkars body found certain injury marks, which "may or may not be related to her death".
"There were certain injury marks on her body. The nature of the injuries cannot be revealed. It is a case of sudden unnatural death," said a doctor at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), where the autopsy was done.
"Samples of toxicology analysis rules out poisoning," the doctor said, adding the post-mortem report would be available in two days.
The last rites of Sunanda, Union minister Shashi Tharoors wife, will take place at Lodhi Road crematorium around 5.30pm, TV channels reported.
Media reports also said Tharoor, the minister of state for human resource development, was expected to give a statement to the police after the cremation of his wife.
Earlier in the day, Tharoor, who was admitted to AIIMS, was discharged after doctors said he was fine. He had complained of uneasiness and chest pain.
