Intel: Value or value trap?
The chip-maker's stock is at long-term support, but it needs strong management to pull it out of a hole.
By John Jagerson and Wade Hansen, SlingShot Trader
This month, Intel (INTC) beat expectations, all right -- by leaping over a bar that it lowered for itself five weeks prior. But it's going to take more than strong earnings for Intel to thrive in a post-PC-world.
Tech stocks, including Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL), are looking weak this quarter. The biggest issue for Intel is whether the results from its last quarter represent macroeconomic slowing, a temporary trough in the semiconductor industry, or a troubling shift away from INTC's core market.
PCs: Evolving or dying?
Intel's core market is, of course, PCs. Even industry leaders fret about the future of the battered and weary PC. Paul Ottelini, Intel's CEO, acknowledged the woes facing the market and said that PC demand was going to grow at half its normal rate during Q4.
Intel is investing heavily in what could be the next phase of personal computing: ultrabooks, a thin laptop/tablet hybrid. Anticipated sales for ultrabooks in Q4 have been revised downward, however -- a sign that consumers might just prefer tablets to be tablets and laptops to be laptops.
Crucially important for INTC investors is whether the chip giant will manage the transition from PC to mobile effectively to grow its market share in new technologies or if the company will get passed up by smaller, more nimble competitors.
A lot hinges on Windows 8
Windows 8 was officially released on Oct. 26, and as Steve Ballmer, Microsoft (MSFT) CEO, stated that it's simply the biggest deal for the company in at least 17 years. It is the product that intends to bridge MSFT's future with the post-PC world; naturally, it should be expected that both optimism and pessimism abound. (Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, an MSN Money site.)
Besides MSFT's fortunes, Windows 8 also holds part of INTC's as well. Even if slow out of the gate, gradual adoption of the OS will help spur sales of Intel-powered devices.
If Windows 8 struggles, INTC will have some very difficult quarters ahead of it.
A value or a value trap?
With INTC down almost 25% from its high and trading just above its 52-week low, have the problems with the PC market been priced into the stock? Bears have been in firm control and, as a result, INTC has not participated whatsoever in the market's rise since July.
Could this be an overreaction?
INTC still has an operating margin of 30.8%, higher than 95% of industry peers. Its return on equity is 25.4%, better than 96% of other semiconductor companies. With a trailing 12-month price-to-earnings ratio at only 9.6, the stock has rarely been this cheap. It has traded at a lower multiple only 5% of the time since 2002. Its average multiple since 2010 has been 12.5, a 32% premium over current levels. For the stock to trade at lower valuations likely means one of three things:
- The onset of a bear market in which multiples decline across the board
- Management's failure to respond effectively to the evolving marketplace
- A faster-than-expected collapsing PC market that undermines strategies to expand market share in high-growth segments.
At its current price, Intel stock could well represent one of the better values among tech companies, especially with a 4.2% dividend yield and a 7.1% annualized return during the last 10 years. Whether this price level is a value, and not a value trap, depends on whether the company can leverage its brand and size to move dominantly into high growth markets.
Weighing the scales
With INTC at long-term support and trading at 75% of its value from only three months ago, a strong argument could be made that the market's fears about the PC market are exaggerated and -- like most investing emotions in the short-term -- will get attenuated in the coming months. A reversion back near its long-term multiple alone could provide a 25%-30% return.
However, this is not to downplay the tough road Intel has to navigate. The most pertinent issue is going to be how well INTC management can deliver over the next two to three quarters.
Recommendation: Buy INTC in anticipation of reaction against overselling from inflated bad news out of the PC market. Look for move back to $24-$26 range.

Planned Parenthood, whose federal funding was threatened by GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, is taking credit for President Obama's reelection by keeping independent women scared long enough about Romney's agenda for Obama to win them over.
Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of Planned Parenthood, on Wednesday said that the women's health group, starting in June, focused on keeping the minds of independent women open to voting for Obama by warning how Romney would rob them of birth control and abortion. That, she said, gave the president enough time to convince women that the economy was getting better and that he was leading the recovery.
Ignoring women who had already decided how to vote, Laguens told an Emily's List post-election analysis panel that "there was a whole group [of women] that, what it looked like we could do, is expand the amount of time they were willing to give the president and the economy to recover. So we could kind of hold them in 'undecided' by, in particularly in the presidency, by making Mitt Romney questionable in their mind on our set of issues."
The effort had a simple strategy: Just get women, frustrated with the economy, to hold off deciding for Romney. "Don't. Wait. Gotta learn more about this stuff," was the theme, said Laguens.
She said the effort "might not be able to close the deal with them, but could keep the elevator doors open, hold it open, until we could see the economy start to come up and the president's campaign do that closing argument that really did finally tip them over. And I really think that was the role that we played in there with a lot of independent women."
Despite earlier polls showing Romney strong with women, a huge gender gap showed up on Election Day, with Obama beating Romney among women 56 percent to 44 percent. And in some states where abortion and birth control were issues, such as in Missouri, record numbers of women voted.
Women candidates, especially Democrats, scored big, prompting Stephanie Schriock, president of Emily's List, which supports pro-choice Democratic women, to cheer "We won."
And Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Florida Democrat and chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, said it is time to "double down" on women's issues going into the 2014 midterm elections.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - It appears uncertain at best whether Governor Scott Walker will get the campaign money he needs to win the presidency in 2016.
The Associated Press says Walker is among a group of Republican hopefuls courting major donors to Romney's failed 2012 White House bid. And according to a report Monday morning, many Romney donors want to shy away from Walker because of the governor's criticisms of the way Romney ran his campaign a year ago.
That, of course, could change with 38 months to go until the next presidential contest.
The AP notes that it's not too early for all the possible Republican hopefuls to start courting large donations -- even though some, like Walker and Janesville House Republican Paul Ryan, are busy with re-election bids for their current offices in 2014.
Walker and Ryan are both expected to attend a September 23rd fundraising event at the home of senior Romney donor Woody Johnson, who owns the NFL's New York Jets.
Romney himself recently said that only one or two Republicans have a legitimate shot to win the White House in 2016. He did not name names.
At a recent New Hampshire GOP fundraiser, Romney urged Republicans to, "stay smart" by backing candidates who have the best chance of winning.

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) -- The newly-signed state budget was passed with a big change from the Joint Finance Committee that will have an impact on one central Wisconsin business, and a lot of jobs.
Governor Scott Walker did not veto the Joint Finance Committee changes to the Department of Public Instruction's school information software from single-vendor to multi-vendor. That means school districts can keep what they have or select the software of their choice instead of being forced to switch to Infinite Campus products. The Department of Public Instruction had previously selected Infinite Campus to be the state's only provider in a single-vendor contract.
Skyward has the majority of Wisconsin's districts as clients, and many districts feared the hidden costs behind the state mandated single-vendor system. This budget alleviates those fears and keeps Skyward in Stevens Point, where they plan to expand.
State Superintendent Tony Evers and Department of Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch both supported the single-vendor approach. Governor Scott Walker would not comment on the issue while it was in the appeal process, but made his position known by saying nothing and signing the budget.
Republicans who gathered in Wausau for their state convention unanimously passed an amendment to an education measure supporting a multi-vendor system, to promote competition and local control.

Okay...Thank you for the reply....I will try this.

Possibly in both (this isn't my area). Here is some info about swiftmailer (about half way down): http://swiftmailer.org/docs/sending.htmlQuote:
If this is it,where should i put this in the swiftmailer? or php.ini ?
You would put this SMTP into the swiftmailer configuration.
Hi ServerStorm,
I tried to put in the swiftmailer but when i run my reg.php it will echo failed.I don't know why.Quote:
You would put this SMTP into the swiftmailer configuration.
here is my code please correct me if i am wrong.
require_once './lib/swift_required.php';
// Create the Transport
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance()
$transport = Swift_MailTransport::newInstance();
// Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
// Create the message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()
// Give the message a subject
->setSubject('This is my subject')
// Set the From address with an associative array
->setFrom(array('firstname.lastname@example.com' => 'Jemz'))
// Set the To addresses with an associative array
->setTo(array('email@example.com' => 'jemjem'))
// Give it a body
->setBody('Here is the message itself')
// Send the message
if ($mailer->send($message))
echo "Sent\n";
echo "Failed\n";
You have put the SMTP in the correct place.
Do you know if this is an authenticated or non-authenticated SMTP? If it is authenticated then you will need to ensure that you provide the authentication details. You could ask your neighbour for the credentials if the are willing to share them with you.
before trying to get this working in SwiftMailer, maybe first try sending an email using the command line. Here is a link to a tutorial that shows you how to do this. If you use this technique and it successfully sends an email, then it is a problem with your credentials/settings; however if you are unsuccessful then you need to get to a point where you can do it via the command line before setting up your SwiftMailer config.
If you are wondering why do it using the command line. The reason is that it will show you all connection, data and sending steps that you don't see behind a mail client.
Hi ServerStorm, I tried it but i got problem in theit will says access denied.Quote:
rcpt to:<address>
email@example.com assume that is my real email address
here is the result in the command prompt
220 mta3.zimbra.epldt.net ESMTP Postfix
ehlo example.com
mail from: firstname.lastname@example.com
250 2.1.0 Ok
rcpt to: firstname.lastname@example.com
554 5.7.1 <email@example.com>: Relay access denied
Hi jemz,
Do you have an Public MX record setup for your example.com (whatever the real domain is)? If not, then make sure you have a valid MX record. Often times this 'access denied is due to the lack of a proper mx record.
Also ensure you have created a reverse PTR record for the DNS entry for your example.com email server as well. Once you have this done then test and we'll go from there.
Public MX record setup
My point is just to try send mail using swiftmailer and simple php code..I have no domain like www.mypage.com...Quote:
Also ensure you have created a reverse PTR record for the DNS entry for your example.com email server as well. Once you have this done then test and we'll go from there.
firstname.lastname@example.com, then you need to have a MX record in place for your server where the email is sent from. No matter if you are trying to do something simple, you are still creating a mail server using SwiftMailer. This means that the DNS configurations that normally have to be done for a mail server must be done for your SwiftMailer as well.
Mail servers that will receive mail from your SwiftMailer will likely be set to validate your mail server. If no public DNS records exist (MX, Reverse PTR) then many receiving mail servers will reject such messages.
I hope this clears it up why you have to get this sorted out.
www.mywebsite.com...:injured:..by the way sorry for my english but i am trying to ask some help like you and serverstorm or other who reads my thread...I apologize for my English if you misinterpret.:confused:
firstname.lastname@example.com to firstname.lastname@example.com. The mail route goes like this:
SwifthMailer -> sends message -> ISP SMTP -> message is routed -> Yahoo's Mail Server(s) -> What is the MX record of the mail server sending this? What is the reverse DNS for this sender (if it doesn't have one it is unsafe and likely a Spammer). Oh, these records doesn't exist. We will not deliver this so send error. -> error sent -> goes through ISP SMTP -> gets to SwiftMailer (or command line, or mail client).
To fix this you need to have two DNS (Domain Name Service) records created; an MX record that list mx.yourdomain.com and a reverse pointer record that points your I.P. address, say your address is 126.96.36.199 then the reverse pointer DNS record would point 22.214.171.124 -> mx.yourdomain.com.
It is only with these records in place that some larger email providers - like Yahoo - will allow messages to be routed. You cannot create these records if you don't have an domain name. ralph.m is right in recommending that you get a cheap domain for this which will allow you to finish the test.
I hope this is a better way to describe this.
I have free hosting i used host22 ,maybe i can get the mx record of this free hosting...please correct me if i am wrong.Quote:
To fix this you need to have two DNS (Domain Name Service) records created; an MX record that list mx.yourdomain.com and a reverse pointer record that points your I.P. address, say your address is 188.8.131.52 then the reverse pointer DNS record would point 184.108.40.206 -> mx.yourdomain.com.
You can use your free host given:
- You can set DNS records for your free domain. i.e. set an MX record in reference to your free host domain
- You do your swift mailer test from the free host as the I.P. will need to be be from the same server for the Reverse PTR record check to pass by a yahoo.com (and other) mail hosts.
Hi serverstorm, i tried this firstit sends succesfully to my yahoomailQuote:
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 465, 'ssl')
i also tried thisand it's working also...Quote:
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('220.127.116.11', 465, 'ssl')
But what is this?,if this is the port why is it that it is successfully sent when i used the ip of the server of the free hosting,does the server of the free host and the gmail having the same port?...can you please help me to enligthen my mind.Quote:
To best find the path that the mail travel led, look at the headers of the message that you receive from swiftmailer - your gmail account and see how it shows it routed. It will list every transaction leaving to arriving. You can't really post it here as it will make public your email addresses. Pay particular attention to the time when the message is sent and received.

Why not share with your friends to make them feel scared, Chris brown is not dead and he still remain a REALLY INSPIRING PERSON.

Asked by:
Issue with same domain based attribute on both Leaf & Consolidated level
Within my Organization model I have an issue with setting access rights the way I would like to. For a certain group of users I want to give access to only the consolidated members of an explicit hierarchy but not the leaf members. When I set the security and enter the application as a user with these access rights, I get an error ( "An unknown error occured") when I try to go into the Organization entity or into the members within the Organization hierarchy.
Starting from scratch with a very small testmodel I was able to pinpoint the issue: the errors starts to occur when I create an attribute based on the same domain based attribute on both the Leaf level as well as the Consolidated level.
Doing this also causes another undesirable effect: that domain based attribute occurs twice in the Enities menu-item list.
I can not imagine that I am the first person to build this....?
Kind regards, Susanne
All replies
Can you explain a bit more about the business case for using the same dba for the consolidated and the leaf members? It seems like you should be able to do this, but I was just curious because consolidated members are usually not physical things, while leaf members usually are.
To configure this scenario, are you going in System Administration, Manage > Entities, selecting your entity and then adding a dba under both the "Leaf attributes" and "Consolidated attributes" sections? I did this, and when I go in Explorer I don't see my dba listed twice under the list of entities.
(In my example, I created a Product entity and Color entity. I used Color as a dba for both the leaf and consolidated members. When I open Explorer and point to Entities on the menu bar, I see Product and Color in the list, but nothing is repeated.)
Suzanne Selhorn [MSFT]
Hey Suzanne,
You asked about the business case for using the same domain based attribute for consolidated and leaf members: my customer wants to have several of the same attributes on both levels, e.g. Organization Type, Organzation Category.
And yes, I set things up the way you described: going into System Administration, Manage > Entities, selecting the Organization entity and then adding a dba under both the "Leaf attributes" and "Consolidated attributes" sections
You said that you were not able to reproduce the duplicate appearance of the domain based attribute in the list. But you did not mention if you were able to reproduce the error with regards to access rights, which is a bit more important to me actually ;-)
Using an administrator account, working via Remote Desktop, I set security on the Organization entity. I set it for my own UserID and set the Leaf to ReadOnly and the Consolidated to Update.
When I enter the MDS web application locally, so with my own UserID, and go to the Organization entity I get the error message 'An unknown error occurred'. There is also a green 'back' arrow. When I click on it, it says 'Access denied'.
By the way: I do not see the dba listed twice on the server where I am working as an administrator either, just locally when I enter with my own userid.
I did some more tests just now: the issues do not only occur when I set the security the way described above. The issue also occurs when I set update rights for the entire Organzation entity. The error stops occurring when I set update rights on the Model level, but I still see the dba listed twice.
I am very curious to hear if you can reproduce this.
Kind regards, Susanne
Hi Susanne,
I am able to reproduce this. To log this bug you might either want to enter it in the Connect site (connect.microsoft.com) or open a suport case (http://support.microsoft.com) so that it can be tracked and addressed.
Seems like I'm not alone with this matter.
I just started finalizing my production environment and started assigning user permissions to different users. To this point I've been using MDS only with a user that has administrator access, so no restrictions.
In model M, I have an entity AA that has a domain-based attribute X, that references to entity BB. This domain based attribute X is defined for both leafs and consolidated members. Just as Susanne had with her situation. When I assign permissions to user "U1" and give him read-access to model M and Update rights to entity AA's consolidated members. When I log in as user "U1" some strange things start happening:
First of all, entity BB shows up TWICE in the entity menu list (just like in Susanne's case)
Secondly, when I try to view the members of the AA entity I get the following error message:
Server Error in '/MDS' Application.
A column named 'X' already belongs to this DataTable.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

There is also a thread regarding this error message: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/hr/sqlmds/thread/6d4da4fe-bad9-4599-9f66-4080cca90177
I have MDS version 10.51.2425.0 and I'd like to start production use with the application but unfortunately it ain't possible without a bug fix which this issue certainly needs or a proper workaround. Is there anything I can do to solve this ?
I got assisted by Nathan LiuCheng in the partner forums and it found out that there was a hotfix to this issue:
FIX: "A column named 'AttributeName' already belongs to this DataTable" error when you open an entity in Master Data Manager in SQL Server 2008 R2 MDS
I installed the SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Cumulative Update 5. After installing seems like the bug described is gone!
So, thank you very much for your help !

County election board members must work as colleagues and not political rivals, the new Republican chairman of the State Board of Elections said Wednesday as recent local board dust-ups have led to allegations of partisanship and voter suppression.
Josh Howard addressed nearly 500 local elections board members, directors and staff at a statewide training seminar, the first since all 100 county boards came under GOP control this year after 20 years in Democratic hands. Republicans now hold 2-1 majorities in counties because Gov. Pat McCrory was elected.
But the division has gotten more attention in the past week as Democrats and civil rights groups are fuming over actions by Republican elections board members in Pasquotank and Watauga counties that could make it harder for college students to vote.
Video footage of part of the tension-filled Watauga County board meeting last week has received more than 28,000 views on the Internet.
Howard, a former federal prosecutor, urged the new board members to respect each other and the citizens who come before them.
"The real theme of the conference needs to be 'let's not have any more of our meetings show up on YouTube,'" Howard told the crowd.
"We've had some rough meetings over the transition period of the last few months. That's fine. That'll happen. That's part of change," he added, but "you are not partisan rivals. You're colleagues. And if you do your job right ... you might even become friends."
The Watauga County elections board voted last week to eliminate an early voting site and election-day polling precinct on the Appalachian State University campus.
The Pasquotank County board followed by prohibiting an Elizabeth City State University student from running for city council this fall, ruling his on-campus address couldn't be used to establish local residency. The local Republican Party now wants to challenge more voter registrations of students living on the historically black college campus.
Attorneys for the city council hopeful said late Tuesday they had appealed the ruling to the State Board of Elections, saying legal precedent made it clear that college students could use their on-campus address to establish residence and vote. "You can't treat college students differently from other voters," said Clare Barnett, an attorney with the Durham-based Southern Coalition for Social Justice.
Howard was reticent about his views on the decisions by the two county boards, saying in an interview later he didn't "want the state board from Raleigh to impose its will on local boards." Republicans hold three of the state board's five seats.
"We depend on local boards to know what's best for their local community," he added. "But I do hope ... board members and anybody that wants to speak on these topics is heard and not shut down."
He warned local election board members to keep their partisan views out of their board responsibilities: "Every one of you is out of politics now."
Democrats argue the local Republican moves are designed to discourage student voting, which tends to favor Democrats. The complaints align with accusations of discrimination and partisanship about a wide-ranging election overhaul bill McCrory signed into law last week.
The law, which is being challenged in court, would reduce the number of early-voting days by a week, end same-day registration during the early-voting period and in 2016 require voters to show photo identification before casting in-person ballots. College IDs won't qualify as voter identification.
The two-day training seminar included a session on the election omnibus bill and how it will be administered. Howard said he fully intends to carry out the law - at least those sections that are upheld.
The Forsyth County elections board voted Tuesday to table a proposal to place security officers at the county's early voting site. A proposal to eliminate an early-voting site at Winston-Salem State University won't be discussed until next year, the Winston-Salem Journal reported.

American Woodcock
- Audio
Woodcocks have an extremely long bill; round, plump body; short tail and legs; and large black eye located high on the head. The back is dark, mottled with cinnamon and gray, and the underparts are buffy. They are most commonly seen at dusk in spring when the male performs a high, upward-circling, twittering flight culminating in a precipitous long fall while his feathers make a gurgling sound. Back on the ground, the male repeats a raspy loud "peent" call several seconds apart.

William Peace University has reached a purchase agreement for Seaboard Station, it confirmed Friday night.
In an email at 6:33 p.m., the school said it had "just signed" the agreement. The school said the purchase "is subject to court approval."
The area, which is right next to Peace in downtown Raleigh, includes thriving shops, but court filings show landlords Gregory and ParkerLLC owe more than $2 million to various creditors.
Gregory and Parker has been under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code for more than a year working on a corporate restructure plan.
Peace's interest in the property has concerned some downtown.
"This could go from what's become a very vibrant retail center in downtown to a parking lot," City Councilor Mary Ann Baldwin said. "We need apartments. We need the retail to flourish and grow."
But Peace President Debra Townsley has said neighbors' fears are just a misunderstanding. She says Peace does want to purchase the land, but wants to keep the retail space.
"Students like to have a campus where there's places to eat, places to shop," Townsley said this spring.

A major construction project will soon begin at the state capitol building in St. Paul, but the plan that was laid out on Monday morning took even Gov. Mark Dayton by surprise.
"It's going to be miserable -- for you, for me, for everybody who needs to function here," Dayton admitted. "It's going to be like a major highway project. You've got to get through that disruption."
That's how Dayton described the upcoming renovation after the Restoration Committee meeting, and he admits that he was caught a bit off-guard when he first saw the full plan would put all employee parking in the construction work zone.
"We never discussed this to my knowledge," Dayton said of the plan to pave parts of the mall.
Although Dayton did say he was "taken aback," he conceded that he ultimately understood why.
Some work has already begun to restore the exterior stone on the east wing of the building, and the employee parking on the northeast corner has already been commandeered by the construction.
On Monday, FOX 9 News learned the northwest lot will serve as construction staging too -- as will Aurora Avenue in front of the Capitol.
One of the pictures shown to the Restoration Committee showed Utah's state capitol building during its renovation gave a glimpse of how big of a mess it will eventually become, and that's why parking lots will be built on the mall.
The planners promise the lots will be temporary, and they insist the trees will not be cleared, contrary to some fears.
Outside the building, the stone will be repaired as the windows and roof are replaced. Inside, a full renovation will also involve tearing out walls, which is why Dayton expects it to be distracting.
"We're going to disrupt ourselves for the next two, three years willingly for the sake of the people that are really going to follow behind us," he said.
The $272-million project will begin in the fall and is expected to take three years to complete. The Restoration Committee will meet again in two weeks.

The Milwaukee Bucks' Sinister Six (and friends)
Category: Ridiculous Things
Last night, the nickname "Dr. Blocktopus" was created by Eric Buenning and me for Larry Sanders. Sanders dug the nickname and Eric and I began to collaborate on the Milwaukee Bucks' version of the Sinister Six from Spider Man.
Eric wrote the words and I made the images. We didn't want to stop after six players, so we turned the entire roster into Spider Man villains. Hopefully Stan Lee doesn't sue us. Please enjoy.
The Sinister Six
Larry "Doctor Blocktopus" Sanders
Brandon "Mysterio" Jennings
Monta "Electro" Ellis
Ersan "Sandman" Ilyasova aka "Ersandman"
Mike "Kraven the Hunter" Dunleavy
John "Vulture" Henson
Armed with enormous "wings" that some have suggested give him the ability to fly (no word on whether Henson has tried), "Vulture" uses his superhuman attributes to cause havoc on the glass. Given that he hasn't filled out just yet, his wings are still sharp and are considered weapons to anyone daring enough to them.
–Heightened physical attributes

That Drew Gooden pic really made my day. It fits so well.
I agree that the ideal situation would be for Tobias (Henson too?)blossom into a star, along side a very good Larry and Jennings. I like, and would keep the current roster, aside from Prysbilla, Daniels, Dalembert, and Ellis.
Hilarious! Nailed it. Great job guys…thanks for the laughs this morning.

There are many different medications used to treat fibromyalgia symptoms, including pain medicines, sleeping pills, and antidepressants. Some fibromyalgia medicines help ease pain. Others boost mood and improve sleep. Working with your doctor will help you find the right fibromyalgia medication to add to your treatment regimen. That way, you can manage your symptoms effectively.
What is the initial treatment for fibromyalgia?
The first medication doctors will often try for people with fibromyalgia is an antidepressant, which helps relieve pain, fatigue, and sleep problems. In addition, antidepressants help depression, which is commonly seen in people with fibromyalgia. Older antidepressants, called tricyclics, have been used for many years to treat fibromyalgia.
How do tricyclic antidepressants treat fibromyalgia symptoms?
The tricyclic antidepressants, including Elavil (amitriptyline) and Pamelor (nortriptyline), work by raising the levels of chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain.
Tricyclic antidepressants increase levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. People with chronic pain often have decreased levels of these calming neurotransmitters. Tricyclics can relax painful muscles and heighten the effects of endorphins -- the body's natural painkillers. While these medications are often very effective, the side effects can sometimes make them difficult to take, as they may cause drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, dry eyes, and constipation.
Do other antidepressants relieve the pain and fatigue of fibromyalgia?
There are several different types of antidepressants that have been shown to help relieve the pain, fatigue, and sleep problems in people with fibromyalgia.
The most well-studied antidepressants for fibromyalgia include Cymbalta (duloxetine), Savella (milnacipran), and Effexor (venlafaxine). Cymbalta and Savella are specifically FDA-approved to treat fibromyalgia. There is less medical research to show that Effexor helps fibromyalgia. Other antidepressants that have also been studied for fibromyalgia and may help include Prozac (fluoxetine), Paxil (paroxetine), and Celexa (citalopram).
Different antidepressants work differently in the body. In addition, what works for one person with fibromyalgia may not work for someone else. That's why people with fibromyalgia may have to try more than antidepressant to find the one that best relieves the pain, fatigue, and sleep difficulties associated with the condition. Your doctor may even want you to try a combination of more than one antidepressant at a time.
Which fibromyalgia medications help relieve the pain?
Different types of pain relievers are sometimes recommended to ease the deep muscle pain and trigger-point pain that comes with fibromyalgia. The problem is these pain relievers don't work the same for everyone with fibromyalgia.
The over-the-counter pain reliever acetaminophen elevates the pain threshold so you perceive less pain.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), when taken alone, don't typically work that well for fibromyalgia. However, when combined with other fibromyalgia medicines, NSAIDs often do help. NSAIDs are available over the counter and include drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen.

Many cities are experimenting with gun-buyback programs to get weapons off the street and reduce crime, but a group calling itself the "Armed Citizen Project" is taking the opposite approach, according to a report on Foxnews.com.The report says the group wants to help people in high crime areas get guns. The founder just trained a group of 10 women and gave them shotguns."As criminals have more reason to fear the citizenry, crime begins to drop as a result," said Kyle Coplen, the founder, to FoxNews.com.You can read the full report on Foxnews by clicking here.

36 companies dump Village Voice over child sex-trafficking / prostitution ads Stop advertising alongside pedophiles in Phoenix New Times, pleads McCaffrey
Twenty seven major advertisers, including H&M, AT&T, and Ikea, have pulled their ads from Village Voice Media due to the company's alleged links to child sex trafficking.
Justin Wassel, a minister from Ohio, started a Change.org campaign asking U.S. companies to pull advertising from Village Voice Media after one of its properties, Backpage.com, was accused of allowing advertisements that support child sex trafficking.
Mayor Mike McGinn has written a letter to Village Voice Media CEO Jim Larkin expressing concerns about Backpage.com, the VVM-owned classified site that has been implicated in a long string of underage prostitution charges.
In the letter, McGinn noted that the policies VVM claimed they had in place to prevent pimps from trafficking underage prostitutes do not appear to be working; last month, for example, Seattle police rescued a 17-year-old girl who was posting Backpage ads for herself on a public library computer on behalf of her pimp, who remains at large.

"I'm excited to go back," Roy said after the Timberwolves lost to the
Lakers in Los Angeles Thursday night. "I don't quite know how I'll feel.
I'm excited to go back and be in that building again. It was special. I
had a lot of special moments there."
Roy won't be in the game, let alone in that zone, on Saturday. At least
he will be in the building. He's hopeful that he can play again this
season, but with his future not guaranteed, 27 games remaining on the
schedule and the injury-riddled Timberwolves about to miss the playoffs
for the ninth consecutive season, this could be Roy's last time in
Portland as a player, even an inactive one.
"This," he said, "will be a little different."

Portion Control Plate helps shed unwanted weight
I've been trying to get rid of a few pounds and it's really hard to do. My diet is pretty perfect, however my portions aren't. The main thing to do when you want to shed weight and eat healthy is eat the right amount. Lately, due to restaurant food, we are far too used to eating gigantic portions. To get rid of this distorted idea of the amount of food we need, the Portion-control plate is perfect. It greatly helps in managing weight and promoting portion-specific eating habits. This convenient divider fits most dinner plates and includes labelled compartments for fruits and vegetables, starch and protein. You will find that every area measures one cup at the top and includes a half-cup line. It is based on the USDA My Pyramid serving sizes. It's available for $15 here.

LEWISBURG, Pa. - President Brian C. Mitchell's book, The Paddy Camps: The Irish of Lowell, 1821-61, has been released in a paperback edition by the University of Illinois Press.
Lowell, Mass. occupies a significant place in American history. The first planned industrial city and an early leader in the textile industry, Lowell is often studied in the context of American labor, economic, and industrializing history.
Lowell is also Mitchell's birthplace. His fascination with the history of his hometown and the role of immigrants in its history led to his writing The Paddy Camp. The initial printing of the book was so successful that the hardcover version sold out.
The Paddy Camps weaves together the concerns of immigration, labor, and social history. The book demonstrates how the Irish community in Lowell overcame adversity to develop strong religious institutions, an increased political presence, and a sense of common traditions. Mitchell described his book as "speaking directly to the evolution of American cities and the role immigrants have played in shaping them."
Mitchell traces the Irish immigration from the pre-famine era through the immigration boom of the mid 1840s. The growing Irish population of Lowell served as a source of cheap labor for local textile mill owners. Displaced by cheaper labor, other workers blamed the Irish for job losses and added to their plight through repression and segregation.
Noted civil war historian Kenneth Stampp said, "With the historian it is an article of faith that knowledge of the past is a key to understanding the present."
For those looking to understand the role immigration has plays in shaping modern day America, Mitchell said in the new preface to his book, "Nineteenth century Lowell is a lesson for those who seek to understand twenty-first-century Houston, Detroit, Denver, or Miami… The specific histories, periods of growth and impact of world events differ in detail, but the stories of accommodation and assimilation have distinct parallels even if the process and outcomes differ."
Copies of the book can be obtained through booksellers online and nationwide or from the Bucknell University Bookstore.

Dog owners are being warned to vaccinate their dogs for the potentially deadly parvovirus after a local Humane Society reported seeing an increase in infected dogs.
Canine parvovirus is a fast-acting, potentially deadly gastrointestinal disease in puppies and adult dogs.
The Humane Society of Tampa Bay's Animal Health Center says it has seen a significant rise in the number of owned pets infected with the disease.
Parvovirus spreads when a dog comes in contact with the feces of an infected dog. Warm weather provides a perfect environment for the virus to thrive, allowing it to remain infectious on contaminated ground for months, according to the HSTB.
The Humane Society of Tampa Bay recommends keeping puppies under four months and unvaccinated adult dogs away from areas with lots of dog traffic like parks, beaches, kennels, pet stores, etc to avoid possible infection.
Parvovirus most frequently attacks puppies younger than one year of age, but unvaccinated adult dogs are also susceptible. Most infected adults recover with expensive treatment. But, as many as 25 to 50 percent of infected puppies die from the disease, if not diagnosed and treated immediately, according to the HSTB.
"Parvo is a devastating, highly-contagious and costly disease that strikes rapidly and without warning," said HSTB Executive Director Sherry Silk.
"Thankfully, a vaccination is available and we urge the community to make sure their dogs are up-to-date on their shots."
Parvo shots are available at veterinary clinics, the HSTB and some pet stores.

What are the technologies trapping us?
There are a number of advantages to technology, although the side effects include an unsociable society trapped inside there homes. I'm looking into the many ways that modern forms of technology may attribute to this, including:
Online shopping, including the downloading of music and videos, so we no longer visit the High Street or supermarket
Online banking, so we no longer walk to the bank
Social networking, so we no longer talk to our friends in person
The ability to work from home, so we no longer go to the office and interact with colleagues
I would love to hear from you if you can think of other examples of ways in which modern technology is making it easier for us to become this trapped society...
James Zhang 30+
Oct 3 2012: Why do you feel trapped by technology? If you don't need to go to the bank anymore, doesn't that give you MORE time to spend with your friends? Sure, your employer may catch on and force you to fill your newfound spare time working, but that's not the fault of the technology itself, now is it?
Sep 15 2012: Computer technology may be wiring out brain to do things differently than before. Could this be the same for smartphones. Is the speed of cultural change with the common use of computers and smartphones going to end up trapping us. For example in the future could we discover a side-effect to using smartphones that is detrimental to the health of our brains. I don't know, only time will tell.
We could make any use of an technological object a trap in our minds. But could our own patterns of behaviour with said technology really be the trap to watch out for. i.e. it stops us from walking, socialising more. We use it to much and forget to eat properly, exercise and socialize for all round health.
I'm not 100 hundred per cent sure it is the technologies that are trapping us. We do it to ourselves anyway with our mind sets.
The one thing in technology I think that trapped us is wire, wire based transference of electricity, phone cables etc. It was an important part of human development, laying cables etc. a very practical solution but we have held onto it a lot.
There is light transference of signals in fibre-optic cables and satellite and wifi signal sending. But could we have developed liquid, sound, transference of energy before wire we might be on a different path culturally.
Sep 14 2012: Automobiles. We carry an environment with us and are detached from nature, even when we travel. Human powered traveled method such as bikes, canoes, roller blades, and just walking are subject to laws set in place to make things easy for the mass transportation methods.
Television. People plan their lives around what is on TV.
Computers. Millions would go home from work with nothing to do if the computers did not work. They do not even teach manual methods in many industries anymore. I do not believe cursive writing is taught anymore...is it?
HVAC. We use to change what we did to suit nature's living environment. Now we change our living environment.
The media has made us afraid of our own shadows and caused us to lose trust in people. Particularly public figures.
We are expecting to be led through complex processes rather than figure them out.
Pharmacuetical/Medical All the testing, drugs, and doctors instructions..the waiting... the expense...that saps your quality of life while your alive for the promise of an extra bit of time at the end...maybe?
Sep 14 2012: Technology isn't entrapping humans.
Humans are entrapping humans. Always have been.
Technology was created to free humans from unsafe, boring, monotonous and dangerous labor.
But, humans use technology to create more profit, at the direct expense of those it lays off because of the technology.
Like most everything else, it is in the hands of the wrong people, being used for the wrong purposes and these ultimately enslave people by creating inequality, poverty, slavery and then war and death.
Those are just five needs of any monetary system. Do they fit your needs?

Dev Anand
Like others, Dev Anand too had his share of struggle before embarking on his celluloid journey. He worked as a military censor office at Churchgate at a salary of Rs.160 and even joined his brother, Chetan Anand, as a member of the Indian People's Theatre Association (IPTA). Destiny, however, had something else in store for him and soon he was offered a break as an actor by Prabhat Talkies to star in 'Hum Ek Hain' (1946). It was while shooting for the film in Pune that Dev Anand met Guru Dutt - and was born a friendship destined for greatness. Two years later, the turning point in his career came when he was offered his first big break by Ashok Kumar in Bombay Talkies' hit 1948 movie 'Ziddi'. As it happened, Ashok Kumar spotted Dev Anand hanging around in the studios and picked him as the hero for the film.

First-time homebuyer credit: How big a deal is it?
You can use the money for all kinds of things. One young couple used it to buy peace of mind.
This post comes from WC Porter at partner blog Wise Bread.
After two years, more than 80 viewings, and almost breaking up with our broker, we finally bought our first place.
It's been a saga but we finally got it done. And as someone who has been looking for this long, I can tell you that we were pressured every step of the way to just buy something -- anything -- because it was the "perfect" time to buy. This had to do with prices coming down and interest rates being low.
But the best reason to buy was always President Obama's first-time homebuyer's tax credit. It would give us $8,000 in cash to use however we pleased after we closed on the home. This deal was the greatest thing since the Snuggie and we would be stupid not to take advantage of it.
When the credit was set to expire at the end of November last year, we felt the pressure from our broker: We were about to lose out on the best time ever to buy a first place. But as Wise Bread readers know, we didn't have the money back then. Luckily for us, the credit was extended.
Using the credit as a down payment. Not all homebuyers use the credit the same way. Some of them save it, some of them spend it on furniture for the new place, and others use it as a down payment toward the very house they're buying in order to get the credit.
That's right: In some mortgages you can use the credit as part of your down payment and put it toward the house. This seems kind of fishy to me because you don't even have the money yet -- but if you're really strapped for cash and this is the only way you can put money down or cover closing costs, then by all means do what you have to do.
But if you're in that bad a shape, maybe you shouldn't be buying a house to begin with.
Fixing up the place. Another option is to use the newfound cash to furnish your place, paint, etc. Starting anew is exciting, and giving the place a personal touch is part of the dream of owning a home. After all, you just put a lot of money into the place and you're probably feeling a little light on funds. So having some found cash makes it easy to go out and spend even more on it.
Isn't that the American way?
Building your savings back up. This is what we're going to do. We spent years saving as much money as we possibly could and now we're seeing most of that hard-saved money disappear as our down payment. Poof -- gone. Just like that.
The best part of having a large amount of cash sitting in an FDIC-insured account is peace of mind. And not have that money there anymore is very tough psychologically -- the cushion is not nearly as big as it once was.
What did that big cushion mean? It meant that the idea of one of us getting fired from our jobs was a trivial thing. Both of us losing our jobs at the same time? Eh -- we were covered.
But now we have a mortgage to pay and the majority of our savings is gone. We still have an emergency fund, but if either of us lost our jobs we'd feel very stressed. We feel stressed already!
And this is where the $8,000 tax credit is a boon to us -- it's going right back into our savings account to help build it back up to what it was.
- Quiz: Test your tax IQ
For us, the tax credit gives us the greatest thing money can buy: peace of mind. Without it, we'd probably still be buying this place, but we would also be more stressed out and statistically more likely to default on our mortgage. So for that I say thank you to the Obama administration. I don't know if the credit help the economy out of its doldrums, but it's definitely helping me and my wife.
I'm curious to hear from other people who have qualified for this or other home-buying tax credits recently and how the credit played a role in their purchase.

Open Adoption refers to an adoption where there is an open exchange of information between placing and adopting parents that continues through the post-adoption years. While there are degrees of openness in adoption, a truly open adoption involves ongoing contact and often includes visits.
Most relative adoptions are open, such as grandparent adoption, where the child knows and interacts with his/her biological parent(s), however it has only been the 1970s that open adoption in "stranger" adoptions (adoption by non-related persons) began to appear.
Open adoption research suggests that the openness and interaction is beneficial to all parties - the child, the biological parent(s), and the adoptive parent(s); however, it should be noted that the most extensive research work on open adoptions, the Minnesota-Texas Adoption Research Project, was conducted on infant same-race adoptions only.
Open Adoption isn't for every situation, but child psychologists who specialize in adoption and adoptive family issues, suggest that when the child's safety and well-being are not a concern, open adoption can be healthy for the child, and if the adults involved (birth and adoptive parents) can stay focused on the needs of the child, openness will benefit everyone.
