Mass Effect Edit
Al-Jilani appears at the C-Sec Academy on the Citadel, asking Commander Shepard for an interview. If Shepard agrees to the interview, al-Jilani's questions begin cordially, but gradually become more hostile. It soon becomes apparent that she is appealing to popular human opinion; she is critical of the Citadel Council, believing it treats humanity as a "poor relation".
Al-Jilani asks Shepard if the Normandy has effectively been handed over to the Citadel, if the Council has been asking Shepard to put the Citadel's requests above humanity's needs, and - if Shepard has just returned from Noveria - whether the Commander was specifically asked to sabotage Peak 15, which she describes as a human research station. She will also ask about Feros if Shepard has just returned from there. Al-Jilani pushes for answers that will 'prove' Shepard is a shill for the Council and becomes irritated if she does not receive them.
Shepard can answer al-Jilani's questions in several ways. The Commander can choose to answer diplomatically, which annoys al-Jilani; conversely, she agrees with several aggressive answers, but still usually manages to include a snide remark in her responses. Eventually, Shepard can either calmly dismiss al-Jilani, realise she has an agenda and walk away - much to her annoyance - or, if she has particularly angered Shepard, punch her. Although Admiral Hackett will later disagree, Shepard can impress al-Jilani by answering her questions in ways that emphasize human independence and strength, with Shepard finishing the interview by saying, "Strong words. This is a good time for strong words."
When the Commander uses the Galaxy Map to travel to another system, Admiral Hackett will contact Shepard and describe what the response was on Earth to al-Jilani's interview. Also, a news report can be heard when travelling in a lift on the Citadel, remarking on Shepard's behaviour toward al-Jilani.
Mass Effect 2 Edit
Al-Jilani returns in 2185, in a far corner outside of the Dark Star Lounge on the Citadel. She again requests Shepard to conduct an interview, asking loaded questions, drawing irrelevant conclusions, and other logical fallacies about the Battle of the Citadel and the Commander's choice of saving the Council or leaving them to die, in order to show Shepard in a negative light regardless of their responses. Shepard can interrupt her by punching her in the face (she will have a black eye and other facial injuries afterward). If the Commander is patient and listens to the question, they can choose to charm the audience by saying that the sacrificed people are heroes (if the Council was sacrificed, Shepard will compare their background to humanity's past and note how the death of the Council allowed other species to excel) or they can intimidate her by responding that the audience and families of those sacrificed deserve better than her. Shepard can also simply walk away from her, without replying.
Mass Effect 3 EditEarth, the Commander encounters al-Jilani the first time while visiting Commander Bailey's office. Al-Jilani demands an interview from Bailey, claiming the Council is promoting anti-human propaganda. Later, she confronts the Commander outside the Embassies, criticizing Shepard for abandoning Earth while countless innocents die. Shepard can attempt to punch her, which she will dodge. If she was punched both times when the Commander met her previously, she will declare "not this time you military thug!". The Commander can then headbutt al-Jilani and admonish her for her attempt at yet another slandering report as she falls unconscious. She lies unconscious on the floor for the remainder of Shepard's current visit to the Citadel. Should the Commander not headbutt her, al-Jilani will knock the Commander on the floor with an uppercut.
If Shepard does not punch al-Jilani, the Commander can convince her that they are doing the right thing and ask for her assistance. Shepard tells her that they need all the help they can get, asking her to stay on the Citadel to keep asking the tough questions. She promises to do so. Before walking away, al-Jilani reflects on her prior interactions with Shepard, either calling the Commander a violent thug or saying that the two of them have not always seen eye-to-eye depending if they punched her before or not. If Shepard never met her before, she says she hasn't always spoken kindly of the military. Whatever the case, she is glad Shepard is on humanity's side.
If Shepard elects not to goad or encourage al-Jilani, the Commander will tell her to "get some help" and walk away from the interview.
During the Citadel coup attempt, al-Jilani uses a Westerlund News van to broadcast an alert requesting C-Sec reinforcements at the station's communication towers.
Mass Effect 3: CitadelEdit
Shepard can listen to al-Jilani's unfinished interview with Admiral David Anderson for the Alliance News Network, which was recorded before the Reaper War began, inside Anderson's Personal Apartment. She asks Anderson about his experience training in the N7 program and his opinion on what qualities good leaders possess. Al-Jilani notes that the remainder of the interview, which was cut short due to the Reaper attack on Earth, would have focused on personal questions about Anderson's life. She dedicates her show to the soldiers fighting the Reaper invasion and concludes by expressing her hope that Anderson and all those under his command will survive the war.
Her name can be seen on the Armax Arsenal Arena scoreboard on the Silversun Strip, as well as among the high scores for Shattered Eezo at the Castle Arcade.
Trivia Edit
- The Shadow Broker's archive contains several video records of her.
- Her name, Khalisah (Arabic, خليصة بنت سنان الجيلاني), means "sincere" or "pure", both of which are ironic contradictions to her occupation as a slandering reporter.

Go for the Glow
Written on June 7, 2011 at 9:18 am , by Fitness Magazine
Ladies, we all know how important it is to stay safe in the sun, but who doesn't want a nice glow? Well, it's time to kiss the damaging sun oils goodbye and say hello to the myriad self-tanner options on the market. Since choosing among the bounty can be daunting, I put together a list of my favorite options:
BEST INSTANT TANNER: L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Lotion in Deep Natural No need to worry about looking orange with this one; a perfectly bronze shade developed within a few hours.
BEST GRADUAL TANNER: Jergens Natural Glow Foaming Moisturizer This lightweight foam subtly enhanced my skin tone in less than a week—and spread on so easily.
BEST RINSE-OFF: MAC Cosmetics Skin-Sheen Leg Spray When my legs need an extra boost for a little black dress, I spray this transfer-resistant tint on, and it washes off in my next shower.

Nucor Fastener has filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of International Trade, claiming the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) erred in ruling that the domestic fastener industry is not being injured by dumped and subsidized imports from China and Taiwan.
Alan Price, partner in the international trade practice of Washington law firm Wiley Rein LLP, called the decision "clearly erroneous."
Price, counsel to Nucor Fastener, was sharp in his criticism of the ITC ruling and minced no words in announcing the appeal and his client's intent to vigorously pursue the case.

The new T-series ThinkPads offer a host of enhancements over the prior models. But the classic-style keyboard has been jettisoned in favor of the chiclet, or island-style, flavor.
The Niyari Atari 400 keyboard mimics the design of the computer's membrane keyboard (a spill-proof keyboard with pressure pads for keys), but adds some modern chiclet keys.
The Asus Chromebook C200 and C300 vary only in screen size, but offer full-sized keyboards, an HDMI port, and a curiously wide touchpad.

Industrial design chief dismisses a claim that HP's Envy Spectre XT Ultrabook looks like Apple's MacBook Air, arguing that form follows function and Apple doesn't "own silver."
The $249 Samsung Chromebook is a solid device for the price and an interesting illustration of what new ARM chips can do. But don't push it too hard with lots of browser tabs or heavyweight Web apps.
Some might call the midsize Asus VivoBook S451 attractive, and it's certainly inexpensive, but too many sacrifices were made to hit that budget price.
While the entry model is less of a bargain than it used to be and configurations are limited, the thin, aluminum-clad Dell Inspiron 14 7000 remains an attractive option for its looks, performance, and price.

Like-minded people who value creativity
"Having a business in the creative industry, and having worked with thousands of artist entrepreneurs we've found that it can be challenging at times to find like-minded people who value creativity to handle your web design. That's why we were so thrilled when we found out about our friends at Aeolidia several years ago, and have stuck with them ever since! We couldn't be happier with their hard work, reliability, friendliness, and plain old know-how. Thanks Aeolidia - we love our website, and we love working with you!"

Consumer confidence also rose more than expected this month, and Commerce Department data showed that sales of new homes jumped 15.6 percent to a 4 1/2-year high.
NEW YORK — U.S. home prices closed out 2012 with the biggest annual gain in more than six years, while sales of new homes spiked in January, the latest sign that the long-suffering housing market was on the mend, data showed Tuesday.
American consumers, meanwhile, grew more optimistic in February as the prior month's worries about a broad tax increase faded.
"The numbers are all pretty strong. It's a significant rise in confidence and a strong rise in new homes sales — there is not really much to argue in those numbers," said David Sloan, an economist at 4Cast Ltd. in New York.
The S&P/Case Shiller composite index of 20 metropolitan areas showed home prices jumped 6.8 percent in the year to December, the best year-on-year gain since July 2006, just before the bottom began to fall out of the U.S. housing market.
The index gained 0.9 percent in December on a seasonally adjusted basis, topping economists' expectations of 0.5 percent.
Separately, Commerce Department data showed sales of new homes jumped 15.6 percent to a 4 1/2-year high. The percentage increase was the largest in almost 20 years.
Omer Esiner, chief market analyst at Commonwealth Foreign Exchange in Washington, called it "a blowout number."
MSN Money:Stocks rise on upbeat housing data, Bernanke | Consumer confidence rebounds in February
Consumer confidence rose more than expected this month as Americans shrugged off worries about fiscal policy.
But while the full brunt of tax increases and spending cuts that were scheduled to go into effect in 2013 was averted, taxes did rise for some Americans and the payroll deduction holiday came to an end, leaving consumers with less spending money.
Major U.S. stock indexes rallied while Treasury yields rose after the stronger-than-expected data.
Data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. showing the U.S. banking industry recorded its highest earnings last year since before the financial crisis also contributed to the rosier economic outlook.
Improvements in housing helped lift fourth-quarter profits at Home Depot. The world's largest home improvement chain also forecast higher sales and earnings per share for the current fiscal year.
Last year housing contributed to economic growth for the first time since 2005. Prices have been rising since last February, as the supply of available homes for sale tightened in 2012.
Investors buying cheap homes to be converted into rentals also supported the market and some struggling areas saw a sharp bounce back in prices.
But the market is far from fully healed. Some 20 percent of mortgages are underwater and foreclosure rates remain elevated.
"Housing won't be a huge contributor to growth this year, but we are on the long road to recovery," said Michael Hanson, senior U.S. economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "But consumers will need to see that these gains are persistent."
Homebuyers also have been enticed by the historically low interest rates. The Federal Reserve's latest stimulus efforts are helping to keep rates low, as the central bank buys assets including mortgage-backed securities.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke strongly defended that policy Tuesday. The Fed's rate setting-committee has said it intends to keep buying $85 billion of mortgage-backed and government debt each month until the labor market improves substantially.
Minutes from the central bank's last policy meeting revealed last week that some officials thought the Fed might have to taper off its purchases before seeing the increase in hiring that the program is designed to deliver.
Some economists expect rising home prices and recent stock market gains to blunt the impact of tax increases for consumers, which should help spending improve in the second half of 2013.
Macy's Inc., which also operates the Bloomingdale's chain of luxury stores, said Tuesday it expected same-store sales to rise about 3.5 percent this year.
But risks remain. Government spending cuts worth about $85 billion are due to take effect at the end of the week unless Washington agrees to postpone them.
A high jobless rate was also likely to drag on spending, economists said, while it would take time for an improved housing market to translate into much stronger spending and easier consumer lending.
"There's a mix of good news and bad news in the economy, and housing is on the good side of the ledger. But people can't slice off a piece of their house and take it to the store, they still need to borrow," said Hanson. "And concern about fiscal issues will keep consumer sentiment volatile."

Feb 2013
My perspective may be a little different, being asexual, but I honestly don't see what playing with a body part has to do with sexuality, even playing in a sexual fashion. I'd probably do the same - I'm curious about 'male parts', and I happen to think boobs are awesome, being in possession of my own set. I don't think either invalidates my 'asexual' identity, they're just body parts. The main thing is that I have no interest in having sex with anyone - that's what makes me asexual. If you have no interest in having sex with men, well, that's an answer to that, I would think.
Women with male parts are still women - when you were initially attracted to her, you probably assumed female parts, the lack thereof doesn't invalidate the initial 'attraction to female' you felt. If you start finding yourself attracted to men based on outward appearances, maybe then it's time to question what you're looking for, but even then, I don't think sexuality is ever 100% anything.
If you're only attracted to women, but also interested in sex that involves the 'male part', you might be some combination like homoromantic heterosexual, or homoromantic bisexual. The 'romantic' designation refers to the gender you prefer relationships with, and the sexual is the gender you'd prefer in the bedroom, so to speak. It's most common for the romantic and sexual desires to be compatible, but not unheard of for them to go different ways. Or it may be purely physical, in which case, you might want to try toys that approximate the male part. Difficult to say without knowing more.
In the end, only you can decide what you feel, and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise - you only need to see the massive number of votes for 'are you happy?' to see that. Do what makes you happy, call yourself whatever you like, judge for yourself whether you fit the label, or even want to be labelled. But if you need the validation, then sure, I'd consider you a lesbian.

We are building a new home (a farmhouse colonial).....we wanted to purchase a farmhouse style sink and settled on this one after reading the great reviews. This sink is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS.....it is substantial and has a beautiful design.....we couldn't be happier with the purchase.
We just installed this sink in our new home. It is HUGE! I love the color and size.
This is my first purchase from Overstock and I am very pleased with the amazing farm sink and faucet as well as the terrific service from Overstock. I will continue to order and encourage my family and friends to as well.
We recently completed a kitchen update for our 1784 Northern New England Farmhouse & this sink is the best. The look is very upscale, but not too "modern". We added granite countertops & since our stove & frig were already stainless steel, this sink with the apron front was the most appropriate addition. Since our contractor installed the sink, I can not commend on ease of assembly. My only wish is for Overstock to carry the "sink protector" to help reduce scratches/rust stains. I've tried some sink mat type things, but they get soiled easily & move around too much...with all this said, I would highly recommend this sink without reservations.

Quite happy to have Carberry in the middle at the moment. Hope we don't get him out for a while.
Nah he's the sort of batsman that can look bad for a while but if he gets in properly he can be hard to stop. I wouldn't bet on it, mind.
Two MD Bates' in the same game on different teams. Both batting 11. Very odd to see a wicketkeeper bat at number 11 these days.
Pitch looks difficult to say the least.
Afridi out for nought shocker.
It goes without saying in Afridi's case but they're trying to smash the cover off the ball after fluking a decent start. They didn't need to do that. Just needed to bat properly - move their feet on a tricky pitch.
Afridi's last 10 innings: 0, 0, 4, 14, 0, 12, 5, 0, 7, 0.
Wasn't Katto Hants' main overseas bod this summer, actually? How come Afridi's playing for them?

"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."
- Barney Ronay on Mario Balotelli
Haha, did Mills just say "no wickets for me"?
Jeepers, that was a decent hit.
Mills is done, I can finally start watching. Cringe every time I watch him bowl.

Don't give up on stocks just yet
It's hard not to be frustrated by volatility, but certain sectors could still be excellent buys.
By Tom Aspray, MoneyShow.com
After the prior week's 7.3% gain in the S&P 500, last week was bound to be a disappointment. Nevertheless, the relatively flat performance was pretty good and certainly better than I expected.
Trading kept up with the recent level of volatility. The week's early rally was met with heavy selling Thursday as the positive impact of the widely expected ECB rate cut was dampened by comments that sent the yields on the Italian bonds sharply higher. The short-term technical action as of Tuesday's close warned of a correction.
The market got relief early Friday as 17 countries agreed to an intergovernmental arrangement to handle budgetary matters, but the UK dissented. Since it was not unanimous, it will not be reflected by changes in any existing EU treaties. This, of course, puts the focus back on the ECB, which will need to take more forceful action.
The bottom line is that we are likely to see more sharp jolts to the stock market between now and year-end. The technical action favors higher prices going into the end of the year as long as the November 25 lows hold.
A gain of another 4% to 6% in the major averages would catch many by surprise, because after every successive market drop, we hear more analysts claim that we are already in a new recession or will enter one soon.
On the back of the surprisingly good monthly jobs numbers on December 2, last Friday's preliminary reading on consumer sentiment from Reuters/University of Michigan rose to its highest level since June. This is likely a plus for the retail sector.
On Tuesday, we get the latest reading on retail sales which should be helped by the record Black Friday numbers. As the chart indicates, retail sales have exceeded the 2008 peak, and are in a solid uptrend.
The prior uptrend was broken in early 2008, when retail sales topped out by the middle of the year (keep in mind, the economy was then solidly in a recession). Though this is just one economic indicator, in the past these charts have often given us some good insight.
Also on Tuesday, we get the report on business inventories, followed by import and export prices on Wednesday. The economic calendar gets busier on Thursday with jobless claims, producer prices, industrial production and the Philadelphia Fed Survey. Finally, on Friday, we get the Consumer Price Index.
Friday is additionally triple witching—the end-of-the-quarter event when the stock-index futures, stock-index options, and stock options for December all expire. As the name indicates, these days are often accompanied by increased volatility and heavy volume.
I was looking for a pullback early last week, and the sluggish nature of the rally suggested that by the middle of the week a deeper correction was possible. Friday's strong performance clearly improved the technical outlook, but the market needs several strong days early this week to indicate prices are ready to accelerate higher.
The sentiment of both newsletter writers and individual investors fluctuates from week to week, but the majority are bullish. The readings are still well below the extreme levels that are typically seen at significant market tops. As you will recall, the sentiment was extremely bearish at the October lows.
(For more on the AAII Sentiment survey, watch "Secrets of the Sentiment Survey.")
The Spyder Trust (SPY) tested the rising 20-day EMA Thursday at $123.65 and its breakout level (line b) before closing sharply higher Friday.
This low now represents first support, with further levels between $121.35 and $122.50. The daily uptrend (line c) is now at $118.35, with key support at $116.20 and the November 25 lows.
The S&P 500 A/D line turned up Friday, but is still well below major resistance (line d). Important support for the A/D line is at line e and the most recent lows.
A close above $127.50 will signal a test of the October highs of $129.42. The 127.2% Fibonacci retracement target is at $133.26, with the upper trend line resistance (line a) now at $134.
Dow Industrials
The Spyder Diamonds Trust (DIA) held up much better than SPY on last Thursday's drop, as it held well above the rising 20-day EMA (in red).
It tested the October highs last Wednesday, and a decisive close above $122.58 should signal upward acceleration. The 127.2% retracement resistance stands at $125.61, with the upper channel (line f) at $127.
The daily Dow Industrials A/D line is also quite close to its prior highs, and shows a short-term as well as a longer-term pattern of higher lows. Initial support for the A/D line can be found at line h, with further levels at the late November lows.
The daily relative performance, or RS analysis (not shown) broke out to the upside last week. Near-term support for DIA sits at $119.64, followed by the gap between $116.18 and $118.41.
The PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ) and the high-tech sector continues to be out of favor, as it has failed to outperform since the October lows.
Though it closed higher last week, it is still well below the strong resistance in the $57.50 to $58.50 area. QQQ traded as high as $59.83 in July.
The daily A/D line has turned up and continues to lag, while the daily on-balance volume (OBV) is still below its WMA. Therefore, it would take several weeks before this sector could take a leadership role.
There is still initial support at $54.60 (last Thursday's low), with more important levels at $53 to $53.50. A close below $53.80 would be negative.
Russell 2000
The iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (IWM) rallied sharply Friday, closing below the recent highs at $75.39.
A close above this level is likely to mean that IWM will finally overcome the major 61.8% resistance in the $77 area (line a). This would signal a move to the trend line resistance at $80, if not the longer-term resistance in the $84 area.
The daily RS line turned up Friday, and could move through resistance (line d) early this week. This would signal that the small caps are now starting to lead the S&P 500 which is consistent with the January Effect.
The daily OBV was much stronger than prices in October, and is now trying to move back above its WMA. It will take a strong close above the downtrend (line f) to turn bullish.
There is initial support now at $72.22, with the uptrend (line c) now at $68.60.
Sector Focus
The transportation stocks are an important market sector, so I closely monitor the iShares Dow Jones Transportation ETF (IYT). It started to outperform the S&P 500 in the middle of November, when the RS line moved through its resistance (line i).
IYT has key resistance now at $90.74 (line g), which if overcome should signal a move to the summer's highs of $98.63 to $101.60.
Volume was heavy on last Thursday's drop, which has kept the daily OBV below resistance (line j). To confirm the price breakout, one would like to see high volume.
There is initial support at $86.60, with stronger levels now at $84.40.
Despite the sharp drop in the middle of November, the Select Sector SPDR Energy (XLE) has been one of the hottest sectors, up over 24%. The Sector SPDR Industrials (XLI) have also done well, rising 19.8%.
Both have done much better than the less volatile and lower-risk Select Sector SPDR Consumer Staples (XLP) and the Select Sector SPDR Health Care (XLV), which are both up just over 10%.
As I discussed last week, the long-term RS analysis for Select Sector SPDR Health Care (XLV) has deteriorated recently. On the other hand, it will take a few more weeks of positive action for the weekly analysis of the energy and industrial sectors to turn positive.
Interest Rates
I have been watching the bond market closely over the past few months. Although it is possible that they did make a significant top in the summer, concurrent with the peak in bullish sentiment, the bond ETFs I covered on Friday need to be monitored closely.
Crude oil corrected briefly last week, but the February contract held well above support in the $95 to $96 area (line b). The daily flag formation has key resistance now at $102.50, which if overcome should signal a move to the $106 to $107 area.
The upper daily Starc band is now just above $105.58, with the weekly above $110.
The daily OBV continues to act stronger than prices, already having moved well above the November highs (line c). The OBV has good support at line d.
Precious Metals
The SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) dropped briefly below the $166 level last week, where it was well supported. There is further support in the $162 to $163 area and the daily Starc- band.
A close above the recent high of $170.80 would convincingly break the downtrend (line e), with the next target just above $173 and the daily Starc+ band. There is further resistance at $177 to $180, while the daily flag formation (lines e and f) has Fibonacci retracement targets of $194.69.
The daily OBV has just slightly broken its downtrend (line g), suggesting that the worst of the selling may already be over. The seasonal tendency is for gold to bottom later in the month and then rise into February.
If gold's correction is over, silver is also likely to be strong—as long as the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) can hold support in the $29 area. A close above resistance at $34.50 should signal a move to the 50% retracement resistance of $37.60.
The Week Ahead
Every downdraft in the stock market convinces those who were waiting to "buy on the dip" to change their minds, only to be left on the sidelines.
Much of the price action often comes overnight in the futures, causing either sharply higher or sharply lower openings. This is likely further frustrating the investing public.
To signal sharply higher prices in the major averages, we need to see a move above the recent highs and watch the Dow Industrials, or the SPDR Diamonds Trust (DIA) in particular, as it should break out first.
This would cause a strong rally into Christmas, but would not be the oft-mentioned Santa Claus rally. The latter refers to the market's tendency to rise for the last five days of the year and the first two of the following year.
If the small caps start to outperform the S&P 500, that would be my favorite area, but continue to move up stops and take some profits on the days when the market is up sharply.
- Don't miss Tom's latest Trading Lesson: The Four Key Seasonal Trends for 2012
Many of us had given uy taking any financial advise offered on this site by many of it's writters and those responsible for creating, and re-creating (as the headlines get changed multiple times during the day on some stories) all that seriously, some time ago. There can be more flip flops then a house of pan cakes when it comes to the assesement of what's going on. And a given news story can go from "market is up, as people shed their fears of Europe debt crisis, to Europe debt crisis fears return: markets dip, to Europe continues: markets are mixed", to "Europe is better, stocks show gains" all in a matters of hours of each change to the headline on the same story....
No one ever accused some of the headline creators at MSN money of consistency in journalism; except perhaps if it was consistency in trying to convince people that things are better then they actually are, except for pesky reality that sometimes rears it's ugly head. And from Friday to today, or Thursday to Friday, how much in the US economy really changed to rationally explain the wild ride the stock market has taken? Simply changing a headline, or telling people "don't lose faith, keep putting more money into the casino which is the stock market of present" doesn't change the underlieing picture of what people are seeing in their lives, their families lives, their communities, their states, or the like. Like for instance some of those state budgets, the fiscal issues surrounding them, and Congresses inability to get along with itself when matters of the federal budget comes up again. And while the news wrt Europe will continue next year; we will also have the joys of the 2012 budget debate which is about to begin, on next years budget; right on the super committees announcement that they came to an impass and can't agree with each other on anything... Yes, that gives people a lot of reason to trust in the financial picture moving ahead; even while their own leaders are too busy being at each other's throats to even begin to deal with the debt issue here in the US itself.
not sure as to what is happing . but will someone explain to me if the stock market keeps going up gas food ect ect cost more the dollar loses its value and we have no work or wage increase other then we all have 401k money in the market which we can't get out unless we quit are job . which will cost us 40% in taxes i think it is time we are allowed to move are money out of the market without quitting are job as long as they have control of are retirement we americans can do nothing . who ever thought up the 401k knew how to control the world the rich get richer i think its time we quite feeding the rich and Europe

Did Toronto do better with Halladay than Twins did with Johan?Posted on December 16th, 2009 – 8:34 AM
By Joe Christensen
If your head is spinning, trying to determine winners and losers in this week's blockbuster deal between Toronto, Philadelphia, Seattle (and Oakland), ESPN's Jayson Stark gives a good team-by-team breakdown here.
I'm most impressed by Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik's ability to get involved and give his team a 1-2 punch of Felix Hernandez/Cliff Lee at a time when the Angels have just lost John Lackey (to Boston) and Chone Figgins (to the Mariners).
I don't know enough about the prospects involved to know how Toronto ultimately did in the Roy Halladay sweepstakes, or how Philadelphia did in the Cy Young for Cy Young swap of Lee for Halladay. For Twins followers, Stark makes an interesting point toward the bottom of his column:
Whether the Blue Jays' end of this deal makes total sense is another story. "I thought they'd get more," said one scout. But when you size this up, they did better than the Twins did in the Johan Santana deal, got more than the Indians got in either the CC Sabathia or Lee deals and at least got this over with — for everyone's sake.

NEW ORLEANS - Something about Terrence Ross in the spotlight still seems unnatural, though he has proven that he's worthy of the attention.
On Saturday night he'll only take up a third of it when he aims to defend his Slam Dunk title in the new-look contest, taking place at New Orleans' Smoothie King Center.
A year ago, Ross defeated reigning champion and little-known Jazz forward Jeremy Evans in a fan vote, breathing some new life into a floundering competition.
But does he see himself as the defending champ?
"I only do that just because that's what everybody calls me or they always ask me if I'm going to defend my championship," said the Raptors' modest and soft-spoken sophomore, who was reluctant to re-enter the contest this season, though he felt obligated to. "I have to. I just feel like if you win a championship you have to defend it."
This year he'll share the court with a few more familiar faces. For the first time in 26 years, the Slam Dunk contest will feature three All-Stars, two of which compete on a team with Ross as the event takes on a controversial new format.
Teaming up with a couple of Eastern Conference All-Stars in Paul George and John Wall, Ross' squad will oppose All-Star Swiss Army knife Damian Lillard and the West's Harrison Barnes and Ben McLemore.
The contest's first round, a 90-second freestyle showcase, will force the teams to work together and assist on each other's dunks. Ross met with his teammates Thursday evening to rehearse and formulate a strategy. All three say they're ready to go.
"We got our game plan ready," said the Pacers' George, an All-Star starter. "We're all going to have fun with it, we're all going to be a part of one another's dunks so it'll be a fun game."
In the second round the East dunkers will go head-to-head with the competitors from the West until a team of three is crowned champion. Fans will then vote for the "Dunker of the Night" from the winning team. Intended to spice up an event that's lost its luster, the twist is one that may take some getting used to, one that not everyone is on board with. The participants, as you would expect, have high hopes for the new format.
"I personally like [the new format]," Ross said. "A lot of people don't like it but after they see what's going to happen, how the dunks are going to turn out everybody's going to like it."
"I think it makes it more fun," Lillard agreed. "It's a little bit less pressure on each individual dunker, it's a little more of a group thing and a team thing."
However, not everyone is so optimistic.
"I just feel like the dunk contest from back in the day has always been pretty simple and that's what made it good," said All-Star forward Blake Griffin, who won the 2011 competition after jumping over the hood of a Kia. "So I don't know how I feel about putting in a lot of extra stuff. I think it should just be get out there and let them dunk. I think they've made it a little too rigid. Just kind of make it more free and let guys have more fun with it and I think they'll get better results out of it."
Whether you love it, hate it, sit somewhere in between or are reserving judgment, the NBA will take another stab at reinventing an event that is still haunted by the memory of Vince Carter's iconic performance in 2000.
14 years after that fateful night in Oakland, Carter's show-stopping dunks remain a hot topic of conversation at All-Star weekend. At the time it was exactly what the dunk-off needed, problem is Carter set the bar too high.
"It was almost like he made it feel like it wasn't a dunk contest," said Ross, who was just nine years old when he watched Carter make history. "It was kind of like a clinic or like a tutorial, how he just went out there and every dunk he did was like first try, done, 50. It was unreal to see because you haven't seen anybody shut down a dunk contest since."
No one has topped it and perhaps no one ever will. All the format changes in the world won't change that but an infusion of young talent and star power could.
With Ross, the defending champ, facing off against three brand-name players, there's more excitement going into this weekend's event than there has been in years past. Still, everyone is clamouring to see a certain MVP throw his hat in the ring.
"LeBron (James) would make the Dunk Contest so much more exciting," Ross admitted. "He would have people hanging from the ceiling just to try to get in and watch it. The atmosphere would probably be unreal and that's something I would like to experience. If he ever does it I would sign up again for it. Hopefully one day he does it."
He has a Dunk Contest trophy on his shelf and a 51-point game on his resume, yet Ross is still getting comfortable with the attention. It took him a little while to allow his excitement to build up and come out but with a new format and fresh competition, the 23-year-old finally has his game face on. Better late than never.
"That's even more incentive for me to go in now and try to do it again," he said. "It's like a new contest."

The Notorious central duo of fiddler–singer Eden MacAdam-Somer and guitarist–banjo-player Larry Unger are joined by mandolin, percussion and bass here in a collection of traditional and original American folk tunes, peppered with a couple of Eastern European tunes.
There's not a preamble in sight as they launch straight into the Bluegrassy title track, setting the tone of much of the album: the ensemble is tight but unfussy, propulsive without forcing the pace or the volume and with a bass that brings depth but not attack. The fiddle is able to weave easily but deftly around this, with lower-string harmonies melding into the group sound and the tune bobbing along on the surface.
There's an understated variety running through the disc, too. MacAdam-Somer slots into the Latin feel of Sumari's Waltz with a looser sense of time and longer, caressing strokes; and while her rather Celtic take on a Romanian wedding song might unsettle the aficionado, she proves that she has a Balkan style in her kitbag elsewhere. Additionally, the use of viola in a couple of songs brings a gruff voice to an album that makes its mark without needing to dazzle.

The New Orleans Saints picked up wide receiver Brandin Cooks in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft by trading up with Arizona.
Coach Sean Payton said the rookie from Oregon State is a star both on and off the field.
"You interview 75-80 at the combine," head coach Sean Payton told FOX Sports. "As you go through the process when you're reading the board and putting names up, if there is discussion with regards to a player, you might say 'Let's use up one of our visits and get this guy in here.' Brandin was a player where there really wasn't the type of discussion. It was pretty clear as to how he interviewed, how we felt about him."
Cooks' father died when he was six years old. His mother, Andrea raised Cooks and his three brothers by working two different jobs.
Cooks ran the fastest 40-yard dash at this year's combine while wearing Adidas shoes. Adidas awarded him $100,000 for the feat.
Instead of buying something for himself, Cooks bought his mother a brand new Mercedes-Benz to replace her 15-year-old car.

2013 - 2104 Verification
Every year the U.S. Department of Education selects a percentage of financial aid applicants for a review of their financial aid information. This review is known as verification. If your application is selected for verification, you will need to submit certain information depending on your verification group.
Below is a list of forms required for each verification group. Your verification group is listed in the Missing Information Letter (MIL) you received from WKU. MIL's are emailed to the student's WKU Topper Mail or to the student email account listed on the FAFSA if a Topper Mail has not yet been assigned.
All forms are available by signing in to Zip Access at http://www.kheaa.com and choosing "KHEAA Verify."
*** IMPORTANT: Submit forms to KHEAA Verify, NOT to WKU ***
Verification Group 1
Verification Group 2
Verification Group 3
Verification Group 4
Verification Group 5
Where do I submit verification documents?
KHEAA Verify has been contracted to complete all verification services on behalf of WKU. All verification documentation should be submitted to KHEAA Verify. All required verification forms are available at http://www.kheaa.com by signing in to Zip Access. Students/parents can complete and sign the forms electronically and/or submit required documentation through KHEAA's document upload feature.
KHEAA Verify, P.O. Box 4902, Frankfort, KY 40602. Phone: 855-272-8771. Fax: 502-696-7230. Email: email@example.com.
How does the student begin the verification process?
1. Go to http://www.kheaa.com and click "Sign In."
2. Sign in to Zip Access with the student's ID and password. (First-time Zip Access users must register first).
3. Click on "KHEAA Verify."
4. Complete the required verification forms, per the Missing Information Letter* you received from WKU and the chart above.
*MIL's are emailed to your WKU Topper Mail account or the student email address listed on the FAFSA.
Why do I have to complete the verification process?
Every year the CPS (Central Processing Center) randomly selects students for a process called verification. When a student is chosen for verification, the educational institution is required to verify the accuracy of the data reported on the student's FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Students selected for verification must submit required documentation to the institution, and that information is compared to the data on the FAFSA. If a discrepancy is found, the institution makes the necessary corrections to the student's FAFSA and sends those updates to the CPS. Once the corrections have been processed, the CPS will issue the student a new SAR (Student Aid Report) which reflects any changes made to the FAFSA as well as any change in the EFC (Estimated Family Contribution number).
All verification documents must be received by August 1 of the award year to guarantee a student will be awarded by the fall semester "fees due date," and by January 1 of the award year to guarantee that a student will be awarded by the spring semester "fees due date." WKU does not award federal (Title IV) aid until the verification process is complete.
Occasionally a student is selected for verification after being awarded Title IV aid. The student will be subject to all the rules and requirements of verification as those applicants who were selected before being awarded. If the student's federal Title IV aid eligibility changes as a result of corrections made through the verification process, any required return of Title IV funds will be returned to the appropriate accounts through the Office of Billings and Receivables, and the student will owe WKU for any remaining balance that may occur due to funds being returned. CPS will issue the student an updated SAR, reflecting any corrections made to their FAFSA, and SFA will notify the student through WKU email of any changes to their Title IV aid. All Title IV aid changes will also be reflected on their Top Net "Account Summary" (billing account information).

Lines of defense
Virtua's board-certified cardiologists and sophisticated cardiac technologies enable patients to easily access life-saving diagnoses and treatments. "An electrocardiogram (EKG) is an important first test to measure the frequency and regularity of a person's heart rhythm," explains Vincent Spagnuolo, MD, chief of cardiology at Virtua Memorial Hospital. This painless test measures the heart's electrical impulses via electrodes placed on the surface of the chest.
If an EKG presents an abnormal reading, the physician may recommend an echocardiogram at Virtua's nationally accredited echocardiography lab. An echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce real-time images of the heart, allowing the cardiologist to visualize - in two dimensions - detailed anatomy of the heart valves, assess heart muscle function and measure blood flow within the heart.
Some heart conditions may not be detected unless the heart is forced to work harder than usual. In this case, a stress test can determine the amount of exertion the heart can handle. During the 30-minute test, a patient walks on a treadmill or takes medication to simulate exercise while a physician monitors the heartbeat and blood pressure. Based on the results, a physician can identify blockages or narrowing in the arteries.
A center for cardiac catheterization
If a stress test indicates a blockage, a cardiac catheterization may be necessary. "This allows a physician to view the heart function, evaluate the surrounding coronary arteries and direct treatment for plaque build-up that is narrowing the arteries," notes Randy Mintz, MD, medical director, cardiac catheterization laboratory at Virtua Marlton Hospital.
During the test, the patient is mildly sedated while the cardiologist guides a narrow tube, called a catheter, into a blood vessel in the person's arm or leg. The catheter is slowly guided to the heart with the aid of advanced imaging technology. A contrast dye is injected into the catheter. Once it reaches the heart, the cardiologist can observe the heart's movement along with the location and severity of the problem.
Virtua Marlton's catheterization lab performed nearly 700 procedures in 2003 and has been designated a full-service lab by the New Jersey State Department of Health. This enables cardiologists to perform catheterization on high-risk patients with heart failure, advanced coronary disease or a recent heart attack. Virtua Health has two catheterizations labs; the other is at Virtua Memorial. Serving more than 250 patients in 2003, the Memorial catheterization lab has leading-edge digital technology including several real-time, viewing stations throughout the hospital. This means that a patient's physician can watch the procedure from another location in the hospital as it is being performed.
Total cardiac teamwork
Virtua has nearly 100 board-certified cardiologists as well as many support groups, educational programs and wellness services. With sites in Mt. Laurel and Voorhees, there are also two cardiac rehabilitation programs that are nationally accredited by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation.
Be true to your heart. For more information or an appointment with a Virtua cardiologist, call 1-888-Virtua-3.

Former LA Lakers point guard Smush Parker is calling out Kobe Bryant for being a diva who treated his teammates like crap -- and it comes just hours after Kobe blamed Parker for costing him a huge trophy 7 years ago.
Parker played with Kobe during the 2005-06 season, and tells TMZ the Lakers great is only lashing out because he once dared to say Kobe was "overrated" as a teammate.
Parker's never explained what he meant by that, but now tells us ... Kobe "told me out of his own mouth that I couldn't talk to him. That my accolades under my belt weren't deserving enough for me to talk to him." He also says Kobe didn't talk to most of his teammates.
Parker says he's opening up about Kobe's diss because Kobe told reporters earlier today ... he lost the '05-'06 NBA MVP trophy to Steve Nash because he was surrounded with no-talent players that season.
Kobe said, "I tell Steve, you won MVP, but I was playing with Smush Parker."
Kobe piled on more, saying ... "He shouldn't have been in the NBA but we were too cheap to pay for a point guard. So we let him walk on."
Parker, who's currently hooping overseas, says his stats prove he was far from "the worst" ... as Kobe claims ... and adds, "People lie, numbers don't."
Kobe played with a starting 5 of Smush Parker, Luke Walton, Kwame Brown, and Odom. And he took them to the playoffs. He was the real MVP that season hands down.
The Rapist is very opinionated. 5 rings or not, to call out a player like that is childish. Divo.
I still like Kobe he is a good basketball player .
No surprise here..Korny Kobe has ALWAYS been a overrated diva who blames losing on everyone but himself.
Isn't everybody from California a diva?
I will be very happy when Kobe retires.
Everyone has something to say about Kobe and once he responds with a truthful answer he's a diva? He has proven himself many times and he can't do everything alone so maybe others players are to blame lol
Kobe Is an overpaid a-hole.....I don't even watch the lakers anymore due to the arrogant idiot Kobe...yes he can play, but his character sucks..it's always someone else's problem and never his....of ourse the owner screwed the fans by taking away free tv viewing but lined his pockets with close to a billion...I will watch the Clippers.
Why would Smush elevate Kobe even further by giving a crap about Kobe's opinion (which he is entitled to) over stuff that happened years ago? Cheez, GET OVER IT!! Kobe is too busy guarding the front door to keep his wife for this high school crap.
Kobe Bryant needs to take a lesson from others like Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan would never whine like that. Kobe needs stop acting like a child.
Even if they are no longer on the team, you don't attack your own team mates. A true gentleman, that Kobe is.
Kobe could be a basketball wife.
Phishie from Philly
Kobe has Michael Jordan scoring capability and Charles Barkley mouth.
Kobe is about on par with Jordan as anyone else regarding bball skills... but yet he will never get out of his MJ's shadow due to his peckah head attitude.
I cant wait till he retires also.
smush parker u just hatin on kobe sucess u could not have
