- How to Read a Study Record
Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has emerged as a significant problem among troops returning from combat zones. A majority of these veterans will report difficulty maintaining or initiating sleep. The purpose of this research will be to conduct a prospective, randomized, wait list controlled, small scale feasibility study to examine if the use of an auricular acupuncture regimen improves quality of sleep for Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF)veterans with PTSD receiving standard PTSD treatment. Hypothesis: Objective and subjective sleep disturbances and sleep quality will be improved in OIF/OEF veterans who receive auricular acupuncture in conjunction with standard PTSD therapy or standard therapy alone.

The matchup was between the leaders of their respective leagues, West the winner of last year's Tri-City Athletic League tournament and second-place overall in the TCAL, and Lodi was last year's San Joaquin Athletic Association tournament and overall champion.
West coach Ed Carlos said that he came into the season knowing that he would have a lot of experienced wrestlers on the team, but he expects that they will still have to work harder in practice to meet their potential.
"For them to show and perform this well, if we pick up the pace in practice we can have a good season," he said. "Up and down the lineup I feel very confident that each wrestler can get the win."
West faced a Lodi team that last year denied Tracy its fifth straight SJAA title by a narrow margin. The original count of team scores at the end of last year's SJAA league tournament indicated that Tracy was the overall championship, but a recount gave Lodi, which went into the league match in second place, the advantage in the end.
Carlos figured the first matches against Lodi on Wednesday could have gone either way. After West won the 135-pound weight class by forfeit, senior Kyle Selna was first up in the 140-pound class. He beat Lodi's David White on a 6-3 decision.
"I think Lodi is going to be a really tough team, so I just wanted to wrestle my best and not get pinned," Selna said.
Following him was junior Daniel Austin (145), who beat Dustin Sefried on a 7-3 decision. Austin said the team had to prove it was ready to go up against tough competition right away.
"We had a feeling we were going to win but we really weren't sure, because we know this (Lodi) team is a really good team," he said. "They showed it tonight, getting a couple pins and getting close in a lot of other matches. We just came in and did our game plan, and wrestled how we knew we were supposed to wrestle."
Senior Jacob Biehl added that the win was a big confidence boost for the start of the season, and he was glad to contribute with a win in the third round of the 152-pound match. He pinned Lodi's Adam Carleton in 4:53.
"I just wanted to start off this dual meet with a pin to start our team off. We should be able to go off from here and get more wins."
In all, West won 10 of the 14 matches, including one by forfeit, three by decision and six by pin. Lodi won four matches, including one by forfeit, one by decision and two by pin.
Other wins for West were: Dominic Williams (189) beat Colin Anderson 8-3, Kris Merrill (285) pinned Tanner Purdy in 3:29, Ulysses Juan (112) pinned Nick Pette in 1:46, Justin Martin Del Campo (119) pinned Raymond Varvel in 2:50, Trevor Manaois (125) pinned Luke Jump in 1:53, and Daniel Aflague (130) pinned Joshua Smith in 1:17.
Wins for Lodi were: Jacob Holly (160) pinned Christian Maroulas in 1:39, Khenyada Beck (171) pinned Christian Thiessen in 4:40, and Daniel Frazier (215) beat Matt Mahe 7-4.
West's junior varsity wrestlers won with a score of 53-9. West won four by forfeit, one by technical pin and four by pin. Lodi won three by decision. Two matches were double forfeits. Winners for West included: Carlos Ocampo (140) beat Jacob Marcee 13-0, Aviel Sosa (152) pinned Anthony Smith in :20, Devon Hutchins (285) pinned Brian Collins in 1:07, Ron Sasing (112) pinned James Mettier in 2:27, and Michael Juarez (119) pinned Marcos Ahling in 1:23.
Wins for Lodi were: George Bryant (145) beat Gerrardo Chavez 9-6, Joshua Mastro (160) beat Derek Blake 4-0, and Cody Edsell (215) beat Oneil Ingram 7-6.

LAS VEGAS - The owner of a U.S. Marine Corps ring that was discovered in a Las Vegas restaurant has been found. A Las Vegas woman first reported the lost ring to 8 on Your Side.
Geri Hart had a mission to find the owner of a ring her son Dillian found six months ago at a Burger King. The ring bears a red stone in the center, a U.S. Marine Corps emblem on top and two significant places and dates etched on the sides – 'Tun Tavern 1775' and 'Iwo Jima 1945'.
With the help of 8 on Your Side, Geri found the rightful owner: 16-year-old Andrew Penn.
"The first thing I thought was, man, they are expecting an old Marine Corps veteran to have left their ring, and I'm only 16," Penn said.
This young man has a heart to serve, however, and the ring is very special to him. Andrew bought the ring in Florida after his ROTC drill team took first place at nationals. He lost the ring two weeks later.
"I never thought I'd see this thing again," he said.
He probably wouldn't have if Dillian, an Army recruit himself, hadn't found it. Dillian and his mother Geri reported the lost ring to 8 on Your Side. The rest is history.
"I was extremely happy to see that someone cared so much over what some people would think is just a ring," Andrew said. "I know we shared the same feeling that this is more than a ring."
Now that Andrew has been reunited with his ring, he promises he won't lose it again.
"(I am) going to wear it every day to everywhere so that there are less chances of me losing it," he said.
These two families with a shared love of the military say they will now be connected for life.

During coverage following the match up between the UCLA Bruins and Nevada WolfPack in Week One of the college football season, the Pac-12 Network had an entertaining in studio moment courtesy of Pro Football Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott.
While the crew was recapping the action from UCLA's dominating 58-20 win at home, Lott backed up in his chair and went for a little ride.
We aren't sure exactly what caused the mishap, but the result was Lott going head over heels as his chair crashed to the ground. Of course, the moment was followed up with laughter from everyone in the studio.
After all, it's not often that you get to see one of the most feared defenders in NFL history looking like your average human.
Here is a GIF of Lott's spill, courtesy of Bleacher Report:
That is just the beauty of live television.
It is refreshing to see human moments during studio segments and this is one that we can all relate to. I mean, who hasn't had that time when you leaned back a little too far in your chair only to go for a ride?
We all feel your pain, Mr. Lott.

(Associated Press) Kentucky lawmakers have voted to override the governor's veto of a bill intended to better protect legal claims of religious freedom.
The law will give stronger legal standing to people in court who claim the government burdened their ability to practice their religion. The legislation protects "sincerely held religious beliefs" from infringement unless there is "a compelling governmental interest." The courts will still consider and rule on each matter.

I like the last one! The cleaner lines work better for these kinds of "construction" drawings, the first one feels a little more blurred and hard to read whereas the last one is instantly recognisable. Will you color these?

Sweet. this one is more elegant and "flowy". Feels like one of the mechs from pilate candidate.I love your mechs. you should put up a mecha drawing tutorial, so people like me can do it.

the first two are cool.... but way too messy.
the last one however, totally kicks ass.

These are all awesome. When I try to draw mechs like these they don't come out so good...Mine end up looking far more bulky...and more like monsters than people...I'ld be glad to share...
I personally like the evil one best...but where's it's other leg?...kinda hard to make out...
Wow, those mechs are really really awesome. I have a mech posted up on this board too. It's over at this link (mech sketch). Please take a look at it and give me any advice or comments if you have time. I'm still learning to draw and color, so any advice would be soo cool. Thanks man. Your mechs rock!!!
I like purdee pictures.
Abbobaf > When I draw this, I have this vague image in my head of its pose, to depict something very speedy and deadly. (I was inspired by the idea of a praying mantis, but I wanted to make it more or less humanoid.) So I just sketch it out roughly, without any concern over it's anatomy.
But you're right, the legs are ...bad... ^_^;

I used to be very much like what was said when tanking Heroics.
Stopped tanking them due to the ever increasing numbers of incompetent DPS and Healers out there. While there are good players out there, I counted myself lucky if the DPS were able to merely beat my DPS (as a tank in proper tanking gear, with almost everything reforged into mitigation; for random Heroics, I never needed to gear for threat). I don't think I ever got a single group where no one stood on the fire or ate that one boss's skill players have to get out of the path.

Ok food, bad servicePosted on 07 / 21 / 2012
Ive had lunch here a few times and each time I was disappointed.
There are a few vegetarian options, and I asked for a sandwich without cheese. It took 15 minutes and It ended up coming out with cheese, and she thought I said I wanted it "with" cheese even though on the menu it already said it included cheese. It took her another 15 minutes to give me a version without cheese.
Every other time I came in it felt like the servers were very unenthusiastic about their work, and it felt like i was taking time out of their day.
I would prefer cuppa joe where the service is friendly and the portions bigger and better quality. They also have a vegan breakfast burrito there.Pros: Nice ambiance
Cons: Bad service, No vegan option on menu

Bellisio To Buy Overhill Farms
Bellisio Foods, the third-largest producer of frozen entrees in the U.S., announced Wednesday that it would buy Overhill Farms for about $80.9 million in cash.
Overhill Farms is a producer of prepared frozen foods for private label, foodservice and branded retail customers including Safeway, Target, Panda Restaurant Group and American Airlines.
Overhill also sells frozen foods under the Boston Market brand in a co-manufacturing and distribution agreement with Bellisio that the companies have had for two years.
"After conducting an extensive review of potential strategic alternatives, our board concluded that this all-cash transaction was the best path to maximizing value for our shareholders," Overhill Farms CEO James Rudis said in a news release announcing the sale. "Additionally, in the course of our partnership on the Boston Market brand, we have seen that Bellisio is a company very similar to ours in terms of their business philosophy, corporate culture, focus on quality and customer service, and their entrepreneurial spirit."
"We believe that Overhill's brand portfolio and West Coast manufacturing presence enables us to unlock meaningful synergies and better serve existing and new customers through expanded capabilities and a broader offering," Bellisio CEO Joel Conner said in the release. "We look forward to working with Overhill Farm's employees and customers as we incorporate this business into Bellisio."
The deal is subject to shareholder and regulatory approval and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

A concert devoted to the music of Vienna could take in a wide range of styles, from the turbulent drama of Beethoven or Brahms to the dour atonality of Arnold Schönberg.
The Cleveland Orchestra, under music director Franz Welser-Möst, took a light approach Friday night at the Adrienne Arsht Center opener of its Miami residency, with a heart-on-the-sleeve violin concerto, a selection of waltzes and polkas and an early Schubert symphony.

Found February 20, 2013 on Pass The Pill:
PLAYERS: Derrick Rose
TEAMS: Chicago Bulls
TEAMS: Chicago Bulls
Finally some good news for Bulls fans! According to @KCJHoop, Derrick Rose participated in 5 on 5 practice earlier today. One can conclude that there was no setbacks from Monday's 5 on 5 practice, and that is a positive step towards his return. ESPNChicago reported that a source close to the Bulls thought that Rose looked "really good" on Monday. Combining the fact that he has gone two 5 on 5 practices in three days and looked good, one would assume he may be close to playing. Rose made it clear that he was not even close to returning and he could not dunk, which made missing the entire season a real possibility. But the news coming from Bulls practice seems to be that Rose is closer than he is letting on. Could it be that Rose is taking after his coach and not giving the media any information? Whatever the case, it seems that the time for his return is near. If he is coming back, early March would be the latest he could come back and be up to speed by the playoffs. The playoffs will be more interesting with Rose starting over Hinrich, so there is no need to dunk the basketball, just lay it up on the glass Derrick.

Wow, these things seem to be getting popular. Both you and the other person I'm working with are using those keys.yea, they're the best quality/cost switches I've found so far
one last question before I begin learning to build PCB's, How do I implement (physically) a mini-usb port so my keyboard can be plugged in and used (recive power and send keyboard signals)? I know that the Leonardo has a mini-usb already attached, can I just use that? if not, do I need to reroute power from the usb port to the power port on the uno?

Hi Everyone –
I know, I know, I'm running two Blog Hops at once…
I love the holidays and meeting new readers, and what better way than a fun Holiday Blog Hop, right?
So I have a kid story to share about wishes… My daughter (Who is 21 and has heard me tell this story many times) was asked this question for her elementary school newspaper: "If you ever caught a leprechaun, what would you wish for?"
Many of the kids asked for money, cars, video games, but my 6 year old daughter proudly wished for "A Shaved Ice Recipe"… LOL
The innocence of that wish always makes me smile, because so often we wish for money or a house or a car, something that will make us feel more secure instead of something that brings us joy. I love Christmas shopping because I love to find gifts for people I care about that weren't on a list. I love to give them something that they didn't even realize they wanted.
Books have always been a fun gift because you can introduce a new author to a friend or family member. I remember giving Panda her copy of The Phantom Tollbooth and watching her hesitantly open the cover. It's still one of her favorite books of all time.
And my son, Reno, isn't a big reader, but he was excited to get the newest book in the "Young Templar" series. He hadn't even known the new one was out!
A gift doesn't have to be expensive to bring someone JOY… I think that's my favorite part of the season…
If you leave a comment and/or visit the rafflecopter link http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/d4a6093/
I have some holiday goodies to give away including a copy of my Christmas music CD – The Magic of Christmas.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and I'd love to hear some of your WISHES in the comments…
Lisa J

First let me wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year!
Lisa, if I could have one granted wish this Christmas Season, it would have to be that my sons not to be deployed to Afgan. My son Brandon which is in the US Army is scheduled to deploy at the end of June or beginning of July and my son B.J. is in the US Marines and is scheduled to deploy in April. I pray every night that for one reason or another that something will happen to cancel there deployments.
Happy reading and writing*
My only wish is that my sons do not want for anything and their christmas is a good one.

That's an adorable story!
Books are among my favorite gifts to give; I love sharing my favorites with people and having someone to discuss a book with is like a bonus present! This year I'm wishing for some new books for my kindle, some tea…maybe some time to myself to read, though that's a bit hard to wrap!
Both of my kids this year told their father and me that they didn't want toys. They 'have plenty that they already don't play with'……..I thought that was the cutest thing ever. My son is almost 10 and my daughter is 7. Just love em!
Wishing you and your family the happiest of times this entire month!!!

Is Islam a divine religion?
Q1. Host: In light of the Bible, is Islam a divine religion? (2:35)
|Dr. Labib: Well, according to the Bible, Islam is not a divine religion. And the reason I say that is because the God of the Bible is not the Allah of Islam. Secondly, the Quran contradicts in very plain words the commandments and the words of the Bible. Finally, Mohammed doesn't have the qualifications of a true prophet. The Bible is very clear in the book of Hebrews Chapter 1. "God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son," if God has sent His son to speak to humanity, it's not reasonable, that He would send a slave after Jesus to be the "last prophet." If we go to the Bible and we want to apply Christianity and Islam, we can say emphatically that Islam is not a divine religion.
Bible: Hebrews 1:1-4
The Bible: Hebrews Chapter 1:1-4
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
|Next >
there are a lot of verses in the Bible that herald the coming of Prophet Mohammed (SAW).
We would be happy if you can list the verses of the Bible that herald the coming of the prophet of the Arabs Mohammed.
Understand that there is not one single verse that points to the coming of any prophet after the Lord Jesus Christ -
"Acts 10:43 To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believes in him shall receive remission of sins"

Guess what? I'm happy they're taking away mage oils. It gives casters an unfair advantage in DPS that really pisses me off.
Say I'm a rogue, which I am, I have to choose between my poisons or a sharpening stone in BGs because one will overwrite the other. And, as any decent rogue will tell you, you can't pvp without crippling poison, so ipso facto, I never get to use sharpening stones! While my mage buddy just slaps on the wizard oil without thinking twice about it.
It's unbalanced when you think about it. Casters get to use everything at their disposal PLUS wizard oil, while rogues have to sacrifice their poisons to use sharpening stones. This makes rogues have a dps tradeoff that casters don't have, i.e. we lose some dps (our poisons) to gain a little more, while casters simply gain dps. Period. So in the end casters benefit from oils WAY MORE than rogues benefit from stones.
Blizz should of just allowed rogues to use stones AND poisons, but taking both oil and stones away will have to do. I for one, am happy about it.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – The Department of Natural Resources will not charge or fine a Lee County property owner who they say admitted he set up a remote hunting device to kill wild hogs.
Wednesday, the Department of Natural Resources said the setup included eight guns and was not connected to the Internet as initially reported. But it was illegal.
It was a set up just like this, in an area, just like this right away. All the DNR has to go on is this picture, they never could find the device, but they've talked with property owner Jay Williams and explained why it's against the law.
In southwest Georgia wild hogs are a huge problem. Farmers and plantation owners have been fighting this losing battle for years suffering property losses. Two menacing four gun remote set ups found by utility workers on a Georgia Power right of way to hunt hogs is simply illegal.
"A hunter has the responsibility to identify what his target is and the area beyond that target that everybody and everything in the background is safe," said Captain Jeff Swift, DNR Law Enforcement.
The remote system set up by former property owner Jay Williams turns out not to be Internet based, but that doesn't matter.
"Whether it be remote or whether it be remote via the Internet, either way both of them are violations of Georgia law and would be treated as such," said Swift.
When the set up was brought to DNR's attention in November they did both aerial surveillance and searched the area on foot, but never found any sign the device had been fired, they showed us today why they don't believe it was operational.
"It's not operational because the shot gun shells are sitting right here, and you can't see the shot gun shells on the other, but you can see that the action's open and the bolt right here is pulled back," said Swift.
They also point out what's believed to be the web camera is likely the power source.
"That's the antenna and this you've got to have a battery source, you've got to have a power source and you've got to have a receiver," said Swift.
DNR law enforcement says the gun mounts are legally sold for sighting guns and they strongly discourage anyone using them for this purpose. Because the DNR can't prove the device was fired, they won't file charges in this case. They say if evidence comes forward to prove otherwise then they'll reconsider.
The investigation remains open. The DNR says articles about this device have appeared on Georgia Outdoor News and Field and Stream. They've also received dozens of phone calls about the device.

There's a new chef at the Bazaar by José Andrés, the new-fashioned tapas restaurant in the SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills. Holly Jivin succeeds Joshua Whigham as chef de cuisine. Whigham is returning to Washington, D.C., as a research and development chef for Andrés' expanding restaurant group, ThinkFoodGroup.
Jivin, who grew up in Savannah, Ga., has worked at the Bazaar since 2008, when she moved to Los Angeles from Atlanta. She was promoted to sous chef in 2010, working closely with Whigham to manage day-to-day kitchen operations. She also was head chef of Saam, the chef's tasting-menu-only dining room located inside the Bazaar, where she worked with other ThinkFoodGroup research and development chefs.
"Holly has been with us at the Bazaar since day one," said Andrés in a statement, "and she has shown amazing support as a team player. I know she is going to be a great leader too."
"We are a big team, and a good team always relies on strong people," said Andrés. "Josh has been with me for many years, way before he came to L.A." He was part of the opening team of minibar by José Andrés in 2003.
In her new position as chef de cuisine, Jivin is expected to work with Andrés to progress the Bazaar's menu. But the modernist air bread Philly cheesesteak is probably not going away any time soon.

Leaders of the Republican-controlled House sent President Obama a counteroffer that would avoid the fiscal cliff and cut $2.2 trillion from the country's deficit over the next decade.
According to NPR's David Welna, the bottom line is that it achieves those cuts with $800 billion in new tax revenue and the rest through a combination of cuts to entitlements.
During a briefing, senior congressional Republican aides said the proposal is "a fair, middle ground" based on an idea floated during testimony by Erskine Bowles, of the Bowles-Simpson Commission, which the president tasked with finding a long-term solution to the country's debt issue.
House Speaker John Boehner, a Republican from Ohio, said he hopes President Obama will give this serious consideration and "respond in a timely and responsible way."
The Wall Street Journal reports that revenue increases proposed by the GOP come from curbing things like deductions from the wealthiest Americans, but does not increase their rates like the president had demanded. The paper explains:
"It would cut about $4.6 trillion from the deficit over 10 years, including $600 billion in savings in Medicare and other health programs—up from $350 billion the president proposed—and change the way cost-of-living increases are calculated in Social Security and other inflation-adjusted programs. …
"In their counteroffer, Republicans did not accept Mr. Obama's bottom-line demand that income-tax rates increase for the top two income brackets. …
"The proposal represented a series of targets without much policy detail that explained how they would be met. Asked if the plan called for an increase in the eligibility age for Medicare, the GOP aides didn't answer directly but one said, 'I don't think there is any way to get a comprehensive deal without it.'"
Just for comparison's sake, here's how the AP summarize's the president's opening bid:
"$1.6 trillion in higher taxes over a decade, hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending, a possible extension of the temporary Social Security payroll tax cut and enhancing the president's power to raise the national debt limit.
"In exchange, the president would back $600 billion in spending cuts, including $350 billion from Medicare and other health programs. But he also wants $200 billion in new spending for jobless benefits, public works projects and aid for struggling homeowners."
If you were reading this post very closely, you might have noticed that there are two numbers for that Republican bid — $4.6 trillion and $2.2 trillion. The Hill explains that Republicans believe that when compared with the same terms as the president's offer, their plan cuts $4.6 trillion over the next decade. That's because that $2.2 trillion number doesn't include "savings from future interest on the debt, and savings from the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan," which Republicans do not count as new savings.
According to Republican's math, the president's proposal, which includes war and interest savings, would trim the deficit by $4 trillion over the next decade.

MAGNOLIA, Del. - A 55-year-old Bridgeville man is accused of raping his 11-year-old granddaughter. According to Delaware State Police, Benjamin Charleston Jr., was kicked out of a Mabel Drive house in London Village in early November. They say that this is when the victim reported the assaults to a family member.
Police say that the incidents happened over a year, while the victim was staying with relatives at that home. Detectives thoroughly investigated, and arrested Charleston on November 14th.
He was then charged with 18 counts of rape, continuous sexual abuse of a child, and endangering the welfare of a child. Charleston is being held at James T. Vaughn Correctional Center on $462,500 bond.
Anyone with information about this incident or something similar involving Charleston, contact the Criminal Investigations Unit at Troop 3 at 302-697-2104 or Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.

"Alright, we're here! Let us never speak of the shortcut again."Typically An Aesop against cheating. All the regular characters are on a Road Trip or some other quest. One character suggests they take a shortcut: sure, it may not be on the maps, but he knows the route like the back of his hand. Besides, it will shave a few hours off the trip, and be all-around more interesting than the boring old interstate! Persuaded, the other characters agree to take the shortcut. If they're lucky, Hilarity Ensues. If they aren't, all manner of deadly serious horrors beset them as soon as they leave the beaten path. They get lost. The car breaks down. The shortcut takes them to the Town with a Dark Secret or the Wacky Wayside Tribe. If the proposed shortcut is described beforehand as "the Scenic Route", it's pretty much doomed from the start. A staple of Dom Coms (where it is usually instigated by the Bumbling Dad), and stories involving The Quest. Frequent use of a Long Delay turns the destination of a trip into the story's MacGuffin. The situation will often be exacerbated by a Directionless Driver. See Path of Most Resistance for a similar trope used in video games. For more travel wisdom, see Right Under Their Noses.

My Options Nemesis
I recently came across an article from a prominent options trader that was a true disappointment.
He brought up the question regarding credit spreads and if they constituted a viable options strategy. For some traders, credit spreads are not a viable strategy, but only because they prefer a different style of trading, not because the strategy is faulty.

This Common Option Mistake Can Cost Big Dollars!

How Is It that Rich Investors Never Miss Out?
The talking heads in the financial media aren't very much concerned with your long term investing success. They only care about convincing you to stay in the market at all times and fixated to their analysis for the latest market movements.
When you hear someone else getting excited about a trade, it can be hard to control your urge to get in as well.
It's the incessant idea that you're MISSING something that will make you poor if you let it. They'll convince you that no opportunity is too great to miss out on.

Options Tip of the Week
Who is the better options trader?
A. Two Nobel Prize winning economists who founded the very model that options pricing is based on.
B. A guy who thinks the market is like a giant poker game.
Of course, A right? They are the geniuses. I mean they wrote the Black-Scholes options pricing model.
But, if you have ever read the book "When Genius Failed" you would quickly realize that the smartest people in the room are not the best investors/traders. In short, the two Nobel Prize winning economists, Myron Scholes and Robert Merton lost $4.7 billion dollars in four months. That's billion with a B.
And while they were losing money, the trader who views the market as one big poker game was making billions – also …

Where Is The Top In Gold?
The second half of 2011 was not a great period for Gold because the precious metal lost more than 15% of its value. In fact, in the last week of the year, a rumored sell-off by a large sovereign investor took almost 6% off of the price. It now appears that that rumor was correct.
Since it closed at the 1540 low on December 29th, Gold has rallied almost 12% in a little over three weeks. At this rate, it would be trading at over $3000 an ounce by the end of the year. I don't think that even the most optimistic trader would expect this to happen.

How To Cash In On A Great Start To The New Year
On Wednesday the DJIA made new highs for the year, settling over the 12500 barrier for the first time in six months and clearly has last spring's highs in sight. The Index is up more than 3% for the first 11 trading days of 2012. This is its best start to a New Year since 2003.
The move has been on declining volatility and many analysists feel that this is good news after the tremendous volatility of last summer. They sense that in a more stable environment retail investors are more likely to return to the market.
Contrarians note that the rally has also been on declining volume and many fear that the worries that caused last summer's collapse have not vanished. …

Can Small Banks Cause Another Financial Panic?
Are 50 bank failures a year going to be the new norm?
In fiscal years 2006-07 only four U.S. banks failed. Contrast that to the "bank plague" of 2008-10 when over 300 banks failed, I guess only 92 in 2011 now seems like a good year.
For the first time in three years, 2011 saw a decline of bank failures. Less problems with banks is always a good thing for Average Joe, but when you compare it to pre great recession levels it is still a staggering number.
It appears that some banks are staying in business longer because regulators are allowing small and potentially weak banks, a much longer period to raise needed capital.
Apparently regulators are willing to allow this leeway in …

The Year In Review
While growing I listened a lot to the rock n' roll band U2. Of all their albums, I've always liked The Joshua Tree the best. There's a track on this record entitled "Running to Stand Still" and though I don't think Bono had the S&P 500 in 2011 on his mind when he wrote the song, its title describes it perfectly.
It was a highly volatile year for the S&P 500. In April the index ran up 8% but by October it was down 12%. Yet with all of this volatility, the S&P 500 finished 2011 less than 1 point away from where it ended 2010. That's the smallest annual change in history!

Photoshop Layer Thumbnails Tip →
I was recently over at Vectips looking through some of the tutorials and I came across a tip for enlarging the thumbnails of your layers in Illustrator.
Since I mainly work in Photoshop, I decided to see if this would work there as well. Lo and behold it does! Sadly there aren't as many options.
Now I don't have to keep wiping off nose prints on my screen.

InterDigital, Picochip meld Wi-Fi with femtocells for mobile offload
Dual-radio gateway allows two technologies to run concurrently, creating a super-connection that leverages both licensed and unlicensed bandwidth
A big debate is brewing in the wireless industry over whether femtocells or Wi-Fi will emerge as the key technology for relieving increasingly overtaxed mobile data networks. InterDigital and Picochip are proposing a compromise: use both.
Industry News
Briefing Room
Today the two companies announced a converged gateway architecture that puts a carrier Wi-Fi access point and a 3G femtocell in the same container. But InterDigital is doing more than just piling two radios onto a Picochip integrated circuit. Its meshing the two technologies together with radio resource management and policy software that would allow an operator to use both access methods in unison. According to a statement the companies put out today, the dual-radio platform could be used as such:
A smartphone can receive data over both cellular and Wi-Fi networks simultaneously, and the converged gateway can aggregate the two connections to improve quality of service or segregate different applications over different radios. For example, a subscriber could watch a streaming video using the higher bandwidth of Wi-Fi, but use 3G with its better security and billing for the authentication and payment for services. Alternatively, two mediocre channels can be combined to provide higher throughput and reliability to a user. Or you could seamlessly handover from Wi-Fi at home to femtocell to macrocell as you walk out of the door.
Some operators like AT&T have already begun making extensive use of Wi-Fi for mobile data offload, while many carriers have begun offering femtocells as home coverage solutions. In general, though, operators have kept the two technologies separate, using femtocells as a means to extend their voice networks in hard-to-reach places, while using Wi-Fi as means of offloading bulk megabytes. By combining the two, operators could get the advantage of both: a dedicated and secure channel operating over their spectrum that an operator can use for signaling and its own prioritized services and a bulk traffic channel that could carry the lions share of Internet bound data.
As operators starting offering tiered data plans that prioritize different types of traffic, such a configuration could come in handy. In highly congested areas for instance, operators could reserve 3G or long-term evolution capacity for higher tier customers where it can enforce QoS while shunting lower-tier customers to best-effort Wi-Fi.

Using a Doctor's Excuse
Sometimes it is necessary to come up with a doctor's note when you need to be excused from work, school, an important meeting or even a court appearance. Although it may seem sketchy to have to resort to this method, strict guidelines that require you have proper documentation of your absence in order for you to become free from your obligation are the root cause of this. Let's face it, sometimes life is unpredictable and what may be an important emergency to you may not seem like an emergency to your employer or superior. What are some of the best ways to come up with a fake doctor's excuse in order to get out of an obligation? Click here to get some ideas.
Do you know someone personally in the medical field? If you have a family member or friend in the nursing field, they may be able to give you a doctor's note thus allowing you to miss your obligation for an extended amount of time. This is obviously the easiest method of obtaining a doctor's note but it could have unintended consequences if someone were to dig deep and call the doctor's office to see if you are an actually a patient. Depending on your local laws, it may be illegal for your doctor's office to actually give this information out.
If you have a friend that has recently went to the doctor, you may be able to ask your friend to borrow the note so that you can take it to a copy machine and place a piece of paper over the original patient's name. Once the copy is made, you can cut the sheet to match the size of the original doctor's note therefore you can begin have someone else write in your name. It is important to have someone else write in your name therefore the person whom you are giving this note to doesn't recognize your handwriting. Most doctors do not sign their own doctor's notes because a nurse or administrative assistant will just stamp the doctor's note with the doctor's signature or they will just print out a generic form with the doctor's signature already present on the document.
It can be difficult making the decision whether or not to use a Doctor's excuse when you haven't actually been to the doctor but sometimes in life, the ends tend to justify the means and you must have a good reason in your own mind in order for you to want to take this route. Stay calm and make sure you have covered all of your bases when you present your fake doctor's note. If you are a man, you wouldn't want to present a note from a gynecologist's office and you certainly wouldn't want to present a note from a doctor who may be friends with the person whom you are presenting the note. Keep these things in mind when presenting a doctor's note and you will be able to have an excuse to miss almost anything that you are required to attend in the future.

Just because it's summertime doesn't mean research at UC Merced comes to a halt.
Just the opposite.
This summer, professors and students at all levels are conducting a variety of research projects on campus, off campus, in the oceans and forests and around the world.
Up in Yosemite National Park, for example, nine undergraduate students are getting a summer experience to last them a lifetime, conducting research with faculty researchers from UC Merced, scientists from the U.S. Geologic Survey and from the park.
"We've been in the field every day, and we're going up to the high country so they will get to experience that, too," Hart said. "They have already been up to Glacier Point on their own, and they are just in awe of Yosemite."
Like many of the Sierra Nevada Research Institute [7] faculty members, the student researchers are looking into a variety of issues, such as into giant sequoia ecosystems, soil development, snowpack and water, greenhouse gasses, high-elevation meadows, lake life and the effects of humans on vegetation along the riverbanks.
Cognitive science Professor Teenie Matlock [8] and postdoctoral researcher Timothy Gann are spearheading a large-scale analysis examining how various stakeholders, including journalists, scientists and politicians, describe and debate issues around climate change.
This project entails carefully evaluating literal and non-literal language, and has excellent potential to lead to a better understanding of how people talk about and think about climate change, and what the implications are for policy-making.
Matlock and Gann also recently founded the Center for Climate Change Communication in the Sierra Nevada Research Institute. They are exploring funding and organizing a series of workshops involving local stakeholders, including Yosemite National Park officials and other UC faculty members.
One of the main goals of this interdisciplinary center is to promote and improve research on communication about environmental issues.
Amussen is reading plays, jest books and court cases and thinking about how these different forms of popular culture talk about the cuckold and respond to him.
The early 17th century (Shakespeare's time) is full of jokes about cuckolds, and the horns they wear, Amussen said. It's clear the husband whose wife is unfaithful is the butt of those jokes, and Shakespeare's comedies are full of them. Those jokes about cuckolds and horns often don't seem very funny to most readers, and they're left wondering why it is the husband's fault that his wife is unfaithful. Amussen said it's that gap – the piece readers don't get – that opens up interesting historical questions.
"The real luxury of the summer is the extended time for research, and the relative lack of interruptions, which allows me to see new connections between different sources," Amussen said.
Anthropology Professor Robin DeLugan [10] is in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, conducting ethnographic research on new public sites of memory that bring attention to the infamous government-led 1937 "Parsley Massacre" in which an estimated 17,000 Haitians who were living and working in the Dominican Republic near the border with Haiti were brutally killed over a period of days.
DeLugan is exploring how the new memory work by civil society actors is connecting the 1937 violence to historical and ongoing exclusion of Haitians and Haitian-Dominicans. She's developing this project as a comparative case study to my ongoing research in El Salvador where she continues to study how new commemorations about the 1932 state-led "Matanza" (massacre) of indigenous people is linked to the ongoing exclusion of indigenous people and to new efforts to include this historically marginalized population.
Back in Merced, over at UC Merced's Castle Research Facility, students in Professor YangQuan Chen's [11] Mechatronics, Embedded Systems and Automation (MESA) Lab have a list of research projects in various stages of completion.
A new project at MESA uses aerial imagery to create scientific-grade elevation models, while ongoing projects include work on unmanned aerial vehicles that can be flown for a variety of uses, from monitoring and tending farm fields to checking out the most dangerous areas of wildland fires.
One example is a work in progress this summer: a water-proof vehicle that can land on water and collect water samples, then fly home.
The students are also working on learning how to use a 3-D printer to make their own aerial vehicles with sensors built right in, and working out the details of a "cognitive lighting system" that can predict where it needs to shine by monitoring the environment and people.
In Professor Sachin Goyal's [14] lab, students are working to understand how and why DNA molecules take the shapes they do and how those shapes affect their biological functions. They are looking into better ways to model and predict the shapes, or "deformations," and to come up with a computer code that can better determine the "laws" of deformations.
The hope is that a better understanding will help researchers figure out how to solve improve medical treatments for diseases like Parkinson's.

Bear Creek has been rated an "Outstanding" school for the past 4 years in a row & is the only dual immersion school in Central Oregon which has a very elite waiting list. Bear Creek provides the opportunity for amazing & positive diversity for children as they begin their school career & personal lives outside of school. The staff & teachers are outstanding as well, giving children the best possible beginning in life & caring deeply for each child & their families. Our family has had so many wonderful experiences through Bear Creek & have met so many wonderful kids & families! This school definately deserves a much higher school rating!!
I absolutely Love this school, I as a child attended this school and last year my daughter attended from kinder to 3rd grade, we had to move states but we miss bear creek and all their wonderful staff and amazing principal Mr. Montoya! Just wish the district would value this school more and not just the "rich" schools.
bear creek, we miss you!!! this is the most wonderful school my children have ever been to. i never felt so welcome and some of the teachers were the nicest individuals your kids could ever hope to meet, our principle was efficient, friendly, and mostly fantastic, but i think she retired right after we left. i hope bear creek never falls victim to these other school's problems of rude teachers left unchecked, or unfair and biased principles who dont believe a word students say when theres a problem. after all, its easy to be happy and get along when everything is mary sunshine. its how we interact when we have problems that makes us worthwhile or not.
Earned Oregon's top rating, "Outstanding" on the 2009-10 Oregon Department of Education State School Report Card. Only 37% of Oregon schools earned the same rating statewide.
My daughter was at this school for 4 years and my son has been there since Kinder.... this is such a wonderful school... The families here tend to be on the poor side and the teachers give them even more then the yuppies think. My son was a premee... he had a speech problem that mad it so that was so bad that only his sister and ourselves understood him... in the last 3 years my son has been given the gift of speech, confidence, and knowledge. The programs and the love at this school are amazing. It is little, and old, but it is a jewel.
We have three boys at Bear Creek and the teachers and staff are wonderful. They have gone out of there way to make sure our children have every thing need to succeed as well educated students. Our children love their school and we are trying to buy a house in the area so our children can stay at Bear Creek.

The shooter is being described as an adult male in his early twenties, dressed in black tactical gear at the time of the attack. Connecticut state police believe the shooter primarily targeted one particular classroom and "had ties to the school."
BulldogPI's current hypothesis is that we're dealing with a disgruntled employee type situation. There is also some sort of a 'New Jersey' connection as the parent of the young man was found dead at their home prior to this tragedy……
Update: 24 year old Ryan Lanza identified as the shooter
The media has begun spreading this facebook image as the likely shooter.
Ordinarily I would tend to agree. However, either someone 'borrowed' the s facebook account in question (just before it was shut down). As the shooter is now deceased according to police reports, either the wrong Ryan Lanza is being identified or someone is busily muddying the waters. (See below:)
Is the media focused on the wrong guy? Who's at facial comparisons? Are these two people the same individual?
"Why do you ask Bulldog?" Because the individual on the right posted a rather interesting 'tweet' this morning:
