Number 12 all around us today
Buy a dozen roses today. Or, at least, a dozen doughnuts.
Rent "12 Angry Men.'' Or, maybe, "Twelve O'Clock High.''
Or at 12:12 a.m. and again at 12:12 p.m., have a shot of 12-year-old Scotch.
For Wednesday is 12/12/12 -- and it's the last day of this century when numbers will line up this way.
The run started with 01/01/01 and has proceeded through the first decade of the New Millennium and into 2011 and 2012.
"It happens 12 times a century,'' said Mike Breen, public awareness officer of the American Mathematical Society in Providence, R.I. "And 12 is a nice number.''
Unless you're long-lived, you won't see its like again. It won't happen for another 88 years, until Jan. 1, 2101.
More InformationA dozen dozens 12 months in a year 12 signs of the Zodiac Two sets of 12 hours in a day. Noon and midnight are at 12 o'clock 12 inches in a foot 12 disciples who followed Jesus 12 tribes of Israel 12 Greek Gods of Olympus 12 people on a full jury 12 Days of Christmas 12 ribs in a human body 12 men have walked on the moon 12 items in a dozen
But the day is also an occasion to celebrate the number 12 itself, which seems to be everywhere in human culture.
"It's important for a number of reasons,'' said Glen Whitney, director of the National Museum of Mathematics, which will hold its official opening for invited guests on Wednesday to coincide with 12/12/12.
Whitney said that to understand 12, you have to go far back in time, when humans invented symbols to stand for actual things. They learned to count.
"They realized it was much simpler to use an abstract sign -- a number -- instead of the things," Whitney said.
Once they began to manipulate those symbols, they realized some numbers are more useful than others. They are what are called "highly composite numbers."
"12 is one of those numbers,'' he said. "So is 60, which is why we have 60 minutes in an hour, 60 seconds in a minute. So is 360, which is why there are 360 degrees in a circle."
The reason these numbers are so useful is that they can be divided easily.
"If you've been on a hunt, and you've got to divide up the animal you just killed, you've got to find numbers that are good for sharing and grouping,'' Whitney said.
And 12 is excellent for that, he said. It can be evenly divided by the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6.
Which means, for example, if you have 12 months in a year, you can easily divide them evenly into four sections, the seasons. Or you can divide them into six-month sections between solstices, when the sun's light waxes and wanes.
In this case, he said, it's the number itself that orders our world.
However, not everything fits into this pattern. Humans have 12 ribs. That, Whitney said, is just coincidence, not part of some divine pattern.
"That's just human consciousness trying to make some sense of things, to see a pattern,'' he said.
Don Goodman III, president of the Dozenal Society of America, which promotes a mathematical system with a base of 12 rather than 10, said the number 12 is also what mathematicians consider an abundant number.
That means that if you take all the numbers that divide 12 and add them up, they total 16, which is more than 12.
Goodman said all the ways a dozen of things can be evenly divided proves its worth.
"It's easy to do fractions,'' he said. "You can have two sixes, three fours or four threes.''
Goodman said that applies to the 24-hour workday, which can be split easily into shifts -- two 12-hour shifts, three eight-hour shifts, four six-hour shifts.
"It just happens,'' he said.
But Breen of the American Mathematical Society said that ociety members, while engrossed in numbers, aren't superstitious about them.
"I don't think a lot of the people here are going out to buy lottery tickets tomorrow," he said.

Foreclosures and mortgage delinquencies declined significantly at the end of 2012, according to the latest report by the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Continue Reading Below
That's certainly a sign that the housing market continues to recover, with the help of rising prices and the increase in home sales. But it's going to take at least two more years before delinquencies reach "normal" levels, says Michael Fratantoni, MBA's vice president of research and economics.
"For the foreclosure inventory rate, it may take longer," he says.
The national mortgage delinquency rate -- which includes home loans that are at least one payment past due but not in foreclosure yet -- fell to 7.09% in the fourth quarter of 2012, the MBA says. That's the lowest rate since the financial crisis of 2008. The rate was 7.58% during the same period in 2011.
Lenders also started fewer foreclosures in the last three months of 2012 than they did in the fourth quarter of 2011. The share of loans in foreclosure at the end of the fourth quarter was 3.74%, down from 4.38% a year earlier.
"We are seeing large improvements in mortgage performance nationally and in almost every state," says Jay Brinkmann, MBA's chief economist. Problem states
But some states remain plagued by extremely high levels of foreclosures.
Florida has the highest percentage of loans in foreclosure in the country, followed by New Jersey, New York and Illinois. The four states have laws that require lenders to go through a judicial process before foreclosing on a home.
"The foreclosure process lingers much longer than in other states, and as a result, the foreclosure rate is much higher," Fratantoni says.
In Florida, where the average time to complete a foreclosure is about two years and four months, about 12% of all mortgages in Florida are in the process of foreclosure. That's down from a peak of 14.5% last year but still more than twice as high as the national average. Florida was one of the states hardest hit by foreclosures after the housing boom.
In the Miami metro area, including Miami Beach and Kendall, more than 16% of all loans are in foreclosure.
Most of the delinquencies in the pipeline today are a result of the loans issued during the boom, when many lenders didn't require much more than a pulse from borrowers to give them a mortgage.
Nationwide, more than half of the loans that were more than 90-days delinquent in the fourth quarter were taken out between 2005 and 2007. About a quarter of them were taken out prior to 2005.

"It is too easy to love and care in the abstract"
"I'm religious but I don't believe in institutional Christianity" is often another Docetic way to say, "I want to be spiritual without any of the ambiguities, frustrations, and responsibilities that embody spiritual commitment."
Institutions are embodiments and substantiations of ideals, aims, and values. Docetism is a special abnegation of any responsibility to incarnate ideals, values, or love.
It is altogether too easy to love and care in the abstract. Concrete situations of diapers, debts, divorce, or listening to and being with someone in depression and despair, is the test of real love.
Docetism is the religious way to escape having love tested in the flesh. All of us are tempted to audit life rather than to participate fully and be tested by it.

Adding to its stable of meat brands, Hormel Foods (NYSE:HML) sealed a $700 million deal on Thursday to snag Skippy peanut butter from Dutch consumer goods giant Unilever (NYSE:UN).
Continue Reading Below
First introduced in 1932, Skippy is the No. 2 brand in the store category of the $2 billion peanut-butter industry.
The acquisition "allows us to grow our branded presence in the center of the store with a non-meat protein product and it reinforces our balanced portfolio," Hormel CEO Jeffrey Ettinger said in a statement.
Hormel said Skippy is projected to generate about $370 million in annual sales, including $100 million outside of the U.S. The acquisition is expected to add to Hormel's bottom line "modestly" in fiscal 2013 and then by 13 cents to 17 cents a share the next year.
Unilever, which is the parent of Ben & Jerry's and Lipton, said the transaction includes the company's Skippy manufacturing facilities in Little Rock, Ark. and Weifang, China.
"Skippy is an iconic brand with presence all around the world," Kees Kruythoff, president of Unilever North America, said in a separate statement. "As we continue to sharpen our portfolio to deliver sustainable growth for Unilever, we believe that the potential of the Skippy brand can now be more fully realized with Hormel Foods."
The deal, which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close early this year.
Shares of Hormel rallied on the acquisition, jumping 4.31% to $33.39 in recent trading. U.S.-listed shares of Unilever dropped 1.08% to $38.59.
Barclays (NYSE:BCS) served as Hormel's exclusive financial advisor on the deal.

Therefore it is very important to find the right way to treat insomnia so that to protect your health. Traditional methods of insomnia treatment can help you with this.
Mugwort Tea – the Best Way to Combat Insomnia
In case of insomnia it's recommended to take mugwort infusion. Mugwort is rich in magnesium phosphate, potassium and calcium, which are necessary for a healthy and strong nervous system. It also contains vitamin B6, which makes mugwort an antispasmodic agent, toning the nervous system, as well as a regulator of pituitary and endocrine hormones. Mugwort tea effects to lucid dreaming are really incredible.
Mugwort is used in traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine for moxa therapy, where the heat from a burning roll of chopped mugwort leaves is placed on certain selected points on the patient's body.
However only the experienced specialist can define the right type of insomnia and correct dose of mugwort tea. So it's very important to know all mugwort tea recipe health benefits and side effects.
Use of Mugwort Tea in Folk Medicine
This amazing shrub has been known since the ancient times. For example ancient Slavs reportedly used mugwort to purify the spiritual and the physical world. While Romans used it as a means to strengthen the stomach. The Chinese believed that it could improve appetite. Travelers always took it in a long journey, it was believed that mugwort helped avoid sea sickness. Mugwort is widely used in folk medicine, mainly in the form of decoctions, infusions and alcoholic liquors, as well as a dry powder and tea.
Mugwort Tea: Uses of a Medicinal Drink
Mugwort tea has been used for a long time as a means to give an appetite, as the substances contained in the plant activate the digestive glands, stimulating the development of pancreatic and gastric juice, bile, thereby improving the motor function of the gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, mugwort extracts have anti-inflammatory action and stimulate the immune system.
Mugwort infusions and extracts are used in the treatment of rheumatism, asthma, eczema. In folk medicine, mugwort infusion can help with gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, kidney and liver diseases, anemia, migraines, flatulence, obesity, hypertension, epilepsy.

Matagorda Advocate
Mission Statement
- We are our market's dominant provider of relevant and compelling content.
- We delivery timely and accurate information to consumers, and we deliver targeted audiences to advertisers across multiple mediums.
- We value honesty, fairness, respectfulness, and service to our community.
The Victoria Advocate is 165 years old, Texas' second oldest newspaper. We're an independent regional media company and the area's premier information and advertising source.
Our circulation Monday through Saturday is 33,606. On Sundays, it's 31,894. We average 2.9 readers per copy during the week, which totals 88,757 readers. On Sundays, we average 3.3 readers per copy, or 105,237 readers. 1
A research study by Frank N. Magid Associates Publishing Division (formerly MORI Research) indicates that Victoria area residents rate Advocate Media as the top source for community news and information and -- by the largest margin -- for local advertising and shopping information.
The inaugural edition of the Advocate was printed May 8, 1846. An extra edition was published that day to inform local citizens of the battle of Palo Alto, the first battle in the Mexican War. The Advocate was first delivered by horseback to points such as Gonzales, New Braunsfels, and San Antonio. Later it was sent by stagecoach when Victoria became the headquarters for three stagecoach lines.
The newspaper's first publishers were Thomas Sterne and John David Logan. Both experienced newspapermen, they changed the name of the paper in its first year from "Texan Advocate" to "Texian Advocate" in response to requests from Texas pioneers. Sterne and Logan sold the newspaper in 1853.
Wilson Pickering took control and led the organization into the manufacturing age where machines made publishing capable of reaching very large audiences. Pickering's grandson, Donald Foster, was a major stockholder and purchased a business that supplied paper and other printing supplies. This part of the business later grew to include cleaning supplies - they sold everything from paper towels to dish soap to toilet tissue. Custodial products became a significant part of the business, and the small mop on the logo at that time signified the connection to this unrelated enterprise. The cleaning supplies business was sold to finance the purchase of modern press equipment just prior to 1900.
Later editors and publishers included Sam Addison White, Victor Marion Rose, Frank R. Pridham, Edward Daniel Linn, John L. Bartow, Louis Nicholas Hofer, and James McDonald. It was during White's ownership that the newspaper was named the "Victoria Advocate" between 1859 and 1861. McDonald introduced the "Daily Advocate" in 1897. Both daily and weekly editions were published until 1943. In 1901, after 55 years and nine owners, George H. French acquired the paper and operated it for 41 years.
Morris Roberts and a number of leading citizens purchased the paper in October 1942. In April 1961, Roberts purchased all stock and became sole owner of the Advocate. He shared ownership with his son, John M. Roberts, who serves as president and daughter Catherine R. McHaney, who is secretary-treasurer. Family members Dan Easton and Stephen McHaney currently serve as co-publishers.
The Advocate has missed publication only a few times because of fires in 1876 and 1892, and the Civil War, when it could not publish due to lack of newsprint.
The Advocate's Web site, VictoriaAdvocate.com, was established in 1999.
The Advocate is located at 311 East Constitution Street in downtown Victoria, where it has been since 1949.
Readers-per-copy figures provided in the Frank N. Magid Associates Publishing Division (formerly MORI Research) 2010 Audience Survey. Circulation figures provided by Audit Bureau of Circulations Audit of Victoria Newspaper for 24 months ended September 30, 2010.

Conference proceedings are a collection of Scientific/ Research/ Technical papers that presented at a professional association meeting. These meetings are sometimes referred to as conferences, symposia, workshops, expositions, exhibitions, and the like. The proceedings would be of different kinds like- Abstracts, Full length papers, Extended abstracts, Manuscripts, Presentations, etc. If the publications are filled with full papers, they are considered proceedings, or conference proceedings. Abbreviated papers are referred to as abstracts or conference abstracts. Conference abstracts can be simple (1 page), or extended (2-5 pages). So these publications can be called conference proceedings, symposium publications, workshop presentations, annual meeting papers, or any combination, but we're sure you get the idea.
We as ARC Publications publish vast majority of proceedings in the area of Clinical, Medical, Engineering, Life sciences, Pharmacy and other technology fields.

White Chocolate - Cranberry Fudge
Here is my first entry to the JFI-Chocolate event. I've never made a dish for any other event this fast. Now I am sure you guys will accept that I am obsessed with chocolate.
My boss usually brings us some treats during the holiday season and last year he brought this fudge. They tasted wonderful and my husband and I liked it a lot. I've been bugging him ever since for the recipe. Unfortunately his wife misplaced the recipe. I decided to Google for the recipe and found the one I liked, here.
I omitted the nuts as the one I tasted last year was without the nuts. This tasted exactly like the one my boss brought last year and this year I packed some for him, as a pre-Christmas treat. It is a very easy no bake recipe and takes about 5 minutes to prepare and 2 hours to set. The fudge was chewy and soft and the cranberries complemented the white chocolate perfectly.

United Technologies (NYSE:UTX) reaffirmed its fiscal 2012 earnings guidance on Friday that brackets Wall Street's consensus and said strong cash flow will enable the company to pay down debt.
Continue Reading Below
The Hartford, Conn.-based maker of technology products for the aerospace industry said it expects to earn between $5.25 and $5.35 a share, excluding one-time items, on sales of $58 billion to $59 billion.
Analysts in a Thomson Reuters poll are looking for earnings of $5.31 on sales of $58.58 billion.
In July, the company lowered the full-year forecast from an earlier $5.30 to $5.50, which represents roughly flat year-over-year profit growth.
At a meeting on Friday with investors, UTC Chief Financial Officer Greg Hayes said the company, which manufactures plane components for major jet makers like Boeing (NYSE:BA), continues to expect cash flow from operations, minus capital expenditures, to meet or exceed net income attributable to shareholders.
"Strong cash generation and proceeds from anticipated divestitures will enable us to pay down approximately one-third of the debt issued for the Goodrich acquisition by the end of 2012," he said.
The affirmation comes more than a month after the company posted second-quarter earnings that topped Wall Street expectations and completed its $16.5 billion takeover of Goodrich.

Subscribe To ESPN Getting Its Own Social Network-Style History From Director Derek Cianfrance Updates
I've already subscribed
Back in 2011, 20th Century Fox acquired James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales' tome Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN, an oral history into the origins of the world's greatest sports network. But they let the project go into turnaround a few months ago, unable to figure how what to do with the vast amount of material. Always looking for a hole in one, Focus Features has stepped up to the plate and taken a swing at the book, according to TheWrap, with a box office slam dunk their goal (mixed sports metaphors are fun, guys!). And they've hired The Place Beyond the Pines director Derek Cianfrance to helm it, which is one of the strangest choices I can imagine. Well, I guess having Mr. Met direct it would be a stranger choice.
Producers Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti, who are working with Focus on 50 Shades of Grey, were also behind the Oscar award-winning The Social Network with David Fincher, and this is looking to be the sports-themed version of that movie. The producers are currently on the hunt for a screenwriter, and while The Social Network's Oscar-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin is of course the most obvious choice for this multi-faceted feature, it wouldn't be out of the question for them to get someone who's worked in documentaries to work with Cianfrance on putting this all together in a coherent package. Essentially, the book is a load of verbal footage that needs to be sorted through in order to pull a narrative out, and who better than a documentarian for that?
Cianfrance is no stranger to documentaries himself, have filmed several music-themed projects, as well as the MMA-focused Cagefighter, which he shot quite a few years ago and may never come to light due to legal issues. But given the stark realism Cianfrance drenches his films in, which includes the heartbreaker Blue Valentine as well as the multi-generational Pines, there's no doubt he can turn this series of talking heads into something special. While he currently has the half-finished hard rock drama Metalhead sitting half-finished, he'd signed on earlier this month to adapt M.L. Stedman's The Light Between Oceans. It will probably take quite a while to get a working script out of this feature, so expect to see him get something else done in the meantime.
Those Guys Have All The Fun chronicles the formation and domination of ESPN in the TV-sphere, taking interviews from Bill Simmons, Chris Berman, Mike Ditka, Bob Knight, Robin Roberts and many others, who give the real behind-the-scenes stories for all the ups, down, lefts, rights, rivalries and scandals that keep the network so interesting.
It's unlikely that he'll wind up shooting any actual sporting events for the film, but Cianfrance has proven his bona fides with a series of visceral, you-are-there ads for Dick's Sporting Goods, which are so much better than you would ever imagine for a sporting goods chain. Check out one of them below.

Wanda sat in the seat next to the last seat, in the last row, in Room Thirteen. She sat in the corner of the room where the rough boys who did not get good marks sat. It was also the place where there was the most scuffling of feet, most roars of laughter when anything funny was said, and most mud and dirt on the floor.

Question 2:
Where does Wanda live? What kind of a place do you think it is?
Wanda lived at Boggins Heights. It seems that it was a place far away from the school and also, where there was a lot of dry mud, thereby indicating that it was not a very rich locality.

Question 3:
When and why do Peggy and Maddie notice Wanda's absence?
Peggie and Maddie noticed Wanda's absence after three days, i.e., on Wednesday. They finally noticed her absence because Wanda had got them late for school. They had waited for her in order to have some fun, but she did not turn up.
Page No 65:
Question 4:
What do you think "to have fun with her" means?
In this context, 'to have fun with her' means that Peggy and Maddie would have made fun of Wanda and teased her for their own pleasure.
Page No 67:
Question 1:
In what way was Wanda different from the other children?
Wanda was different from other children. She did not have any friends. She came to school alone and went home alone. She always wore a faded blue dress that did not fit her properly. Unlike other children, she did not talk to anybody.
Page No 67:
Question 2:
Did Wanda have a hundred dresses? Why do you think she said she did?
No, she did not have a hundred dresses because she was poor and wore the same faded dress to school everyday. Probably, it was a child's fantasy to possess a hundred dresses—a child who had only one dress to wear for school. The other children used to make fun of her poverty, and would have laughed at her whatever she might have said. This could have been the reason for her exaggerating everything.
Page No 67:
Question 3:
Why is Maddie embarrassed by the questions Peggy asks Wanda? Is she also like Wanda, or is she different?
Maddie was embarrassed by the questions Peggy asked Wanda because she was poor herself. She usually wore old clothes, which were handed down by someone else. She did not feel sorry for Wanda. She was worried that perhaps later, everyone would start teasing her too. She thought she was different from Wanda in the sense that she would never claim that she had a hundred dresses. She was not as poor as Wanda. Yet she was afraid that the others might mock her too.
Page No 70:
Question 1:
Why didn't Maddie ask Peggie to stop teasing Wanda? What was she afraid of?
Maddie tried to tell Peggy to stop teasing Wanda by writing a note to her. She knew she would never have the courage to speak to Peggy about this matter. As she was writing the note, she pictured herself in the school yard as a new target for Peggy and the girls. She thought Peggy might ask her where she got the dress she had on and she would have to say that it was one of Peggy's old ones. This was what she was afraid of. Consequently, she ended up tearing the note.

Question 2:
Who did Maddie think would win the drawing contest? Why?
Maddie thought that Peggy would win the drawing contest because Peggy drew better than anyone else. She could copy a picture in a magazine, or some film star's face so well that one could tell who it was.
Page No 70:
Question 3:
Who won the drawing contest? What had the winner drawn?
Wanda won the drawing contest. She had drawn a hundred dresses, which were dazzling with colours, and had brilliant and lavish designs. They were all drawn on great sheets of wrapping paper. They were all different from each other and all beautiful. The judges said that any one of the drawings was worthy of winning the prize.
Page No 70:
Question 4:
What does Miss Mason think of Wanda's drawings? What do the children think of them? How do you know?
Miss Mason said that Room Thirteen should be proud of Wanda as she had drawn one hundred designs of dresses, all of which were beautiful and different. She told the students that in the opinion of the judges, any one of the drawings was worthy of winning the prize. She was very happy to announce Wanda as the winner. As Wanda was absent that day, Miss Mason hoped that she would be back the next day. She then asked the entire class to look at Wanda's exquisite drawings.
The children also admired the drawings. Everybody stopped and whistled or murmured admiringly. After Miss Mason had announced that Wanda was the winner, they burst into applause, and even the boys were glad to have a chance to stamp on the floor and whistle. Also, just as Peggy and Maddie entered the room, they stopped short and gasped. Later they recognized the designs as those which Wanda had described to them. And in the end, Peggy exclaimed, "…and I thought I could draw." This shows that she also realized how good Wanda's drawings were.

Belle Fourche School Lockdown Mystery Solved
BELLE FOURCHE - Mysterious gunshots that prompted the lockdown of a western South Dakota school turned out to be nothing of the sort.
Belle Fourche Police Chief Rob Hansen tells KBFS radio that a resident on Wednesday informed authorities that a vehicle he was working on backfired numerous times at about the same time reports of gunshots were called in to police Tuesday.
Those calls prompted the lockdown of South Park Elementary School, a police search of the area and the posting of an officer at the school for the remainder of the school day.

80 x 60 cm, Oil on canvas
Welcome to Paris! As Pavel Mitkov puts it, this is his favourite theme. Whether it is the artist getting a feeling of the city or the city getting a feeling of the artist is open to a lot of debate. The truth, however, is simple - Paris is the city of artists, the city of art and love. It has immense powerful allure, creativity and an atmosphere filling the air with a desire to live and create.
Pavel Mitkov is referred to in Bulgaria as the wet-street artist. He was dubbed so in 2000, during the filming of the first documentary about him. In the reel, the artist explains that he sees two worlds in a painting - the first is the real world, and the second is its reflection. This can only happen in the wake of rain, which is not uncommon in Paris.
Rain, the all-cleansing water, washes away everything vile and wicked. We invite you to a stroll of some sort down Paris streets in Mitkov's paintings, breathing the moist air filled with creativity, purity and love. And why not have this emotion brighten up your days from now on?
The most fascinating period is from 2012 on. Mitkov highlights two particular dates in it: 21.12.2012, supposedly the end of the world, and 10.02.2013, the beginning of the Age of Aquarius and the Chinese New Year. According to the artist, that was the time when the mankind chose its future 2000-year cycle and the good prevailed. Always positive, always filled with a lot of energy, Mitkov turned his latest period into a life mission. It is not about just composing paintings but rather about creating and putting enormous love into canvases. The painter believes a painting can make a real difference in a man's life.

SophieDeckstar needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 92 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
city (comma) state
I am the manager of the band. We have a full album recorded, and are now shopping it around to the major labels. We want to get started on new media, website, branding etc and the first step is getting a logo designed for the band. The band is a female lead singer and 3 male musicians. All members are in their 20s. The music is considered mainstream rock, think KROQ, All American Rejects, Paramore etc. Logo will be used for all forms of branding including merch.
Target audience is both male and female 13-30. Fun, edgy, rocker chic. Not cheesy. Definitely looking for something modern, clean and simple. Same audience as Warped Tour shows.
Logo should be "city (comma) state" written out in full some how. We are not looking for "City, State." Design should be sleek, clean, modern and simple. Not a lot of fancy illustration. Most likely going to go with a solid color, black text on white background or vice versa. If colors are used, they should be muted, not too bright.
