A Classic Natural Anti-Depressant Practice
Everyone at some point in their life will be affected by depression whether it's their own or someone they are close to. Almost 19 million Americans alone have periods where they feel a lack of pleasure or interest their usual activities combined with feeling tired and heavy, potentially overly emotional or numb, and an onslaught of negative and self defeating thoughts that can keep invading the mind over and over again. The more periods of this depressed mood we have in life, the more likely we are to fall back into them again. Why does this relapse occur and how can mindfulness offer hope? Falling into a depression feels traumatic and just like getting bit by a dog causes us to be fearful of and oversensitive to dogs, our minds and bodies become oversensitive to associations with the depression causing us to react to any sign of it. Feeling low mood is normal for everyone, but if we've experienced depression in the past, this may be a trigger for thinking depression is about to set in again. If we feel tired or if we notice sadness, the mind pops up with the worry "uh oh, that is how I felt when I was
Stop the Glorification of Busy and Give Yourself Permission to Be Happy
It's as if someone from the outside has decided to play a cruel joke on a large segment of humanity. From the outside looking in they're saying, "Let's turn up the dial and increase the speed of life for these humans and see how much they can take before they naturally combust." We've fallen into a trance of sorts where there's some warped shared understanding that to be busy means we are productive members of society, needed and important. This is supposed to then make us feel good, but at the end of the day it comes with a terrible expense - increased stress, anxiety, depression, cellular inflammation and less time, value for play and taking care of ourselves. The reality is, if we want to increase the general well-being of our culture we need to stop the glorification of busy. Can we begin to accept that it's also okay to lead a calmer and more joyful life? Can we practice and learn to see others who are doing this, taking time for themselves, playing and finding enjoyment in life and rather than meeting them with judgment, practice seeing their joy and being happy for their happiness? Ask yourself, what would the days, weeks and months ahead be like if there were more people who were encouraging of and genuinely happy for the good moments you experience in life? How would that make you feel? And how would it make you feel if you felt genuinely happy for
The True Upside of Hard Times
I often say if there's two things in life that we can't evade aside from death and taxes, it's stress and pain. Suffering is a part of life, but the mindset we layer over it makes all the difference. I have so many examples in my life, and you may as well, where a difficult time was upon me and that very time was the seed which brought on the growth of the next moment. The reality is, we never truly know whether an experience in life is good or bad because we don't know what's going to happen next. In Uncovering Happiness I write about how the deepest, darkest moment of my life was exactly what inevitably opened my mind to seeking out support that led me to where I am today. It was this very experience, and many more like it, that led me to seek out mindfulness, which
Difficult People are Messengers for Our Unhealed Parts
We all have difficult people in our lives, it's part of the human experience. Typically, we tend to see them as a nuisance, individuals we have to put up with, or even avoid. This also comes with it's share of suffering. I'm not familiar with the author of the quote above, but the message is worth being curious about. What if we could change our perception to seeing difficult people as messengers or teachers who arouse something inside of us that needs to be cared for or loved? If we do this, might we become less reactive toward ourselves and other people? Inevitably, won't this provide a chance for more relationships to improve? Might it be easier to let go of bitter grudges and move toward strengthening mindfulness, self-compassion, and forgiveness? This isn't Pollyanna, it's a practical approach that can help us focus more on what matters in life. Moreover, consider this: If relationships improve, might that support communities, regions and countries to improve? Is it possible to set off a spark in this way that leads to not only the healing of our individual being, but the healing of humanity? Whoa, that's a bit too large to imagine perhaps, so let's just begin with today and ourselves. Today, try this...
How to Mindfully Deal with Difficult People (and Save the World)
There's a practice I've been doing for a while that is so simple and yet so impactful in working with difficult people and also bringing a sense of balance and perspective in the moment, it's almost shocking to me. I live in Los Angeles, which is well known as a city with one of the highest degrees of traffic. If we were to be able to peek into the average LA driver's brain I think you'd see a hyperactive amygdala and most of the blood flow moving out of the prefrontal cortex. In other words, LA drivers can be a large group of difficult people with emotions and stress running high. One day while I was driving here I was cut off by some sports car that seemed to be speeding weaving in and out of the car lanes. My teeth locked together and my shoulders tensed and what went through my mind is only appropriate on HBO. In that moment I realized how tense I was and likely how out of control that driver was. It made me think of all the cars on the road and how many people were very likely tense in their cars. That simple recognition sparked the beginning of something important. My shoulders dropped a bit and the question arose, "What is it that I'm actually needing right now?" The word "ease" came to mind. So I said...
STOP: The Surprising Power of Waiting
Most people believe that waiting is a waste of time and it's best to fill that time with something... anything. Whether we're in line at a the grocery story, waiting at a doctor's office, or sitting at a stoplight, the brain seems to be cued to fill that space. Nowadays, many of us pull out our phones and begin sifting through various messages, reading over documents, or surfing the web. However, the belief that waiting has no value is mistaken. In fact, the secret to a sense of personal control, general satisfaction with life and even success, lies in learning how to find peace with waiting. We've all heard the famous adage, "Patience is a virtue" or "Good things come to those who wait." Easier said than done, why? We're not in control of our brains Because underneath the subtle yet intolerable experience of waiting is a little anxious gremlin that fears being alone. This gremlin is operating on old software that says if you're alone that means you're not being protected by your clan and it's a threat to your safety. In those small moments of waiting, the gremlin takes the controls of your brain and reaches for something to "be with" so you're not alone anymore. In other words, the anxious gremlin is in control and you're not. Studies are clear that lacking a sense of control is associated with negative stress, anxiety and depression. Also, the more we let the gremlin run our brain, the stronger it gets - or as the Canadian psychologist Donald Hebb says, "neurons that fire together, wire together." Using waiting for good
How to Live Well with Chronic Pain and Illness: An Interview with Toni Bernhard
One of the essential commonalities we have as human beings is that at some point or another we all experience some form of suffering. This isn't meant to be a downer, it's simply a fact of being human. Today, you're going to hear from an incredible woman, Toni Bernhard. She is the author of the award-winning book How to Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers and How to Wake Up: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide to Navigating Joy and Sorrow. Her newest book is called How to Live Well with Chronic Pain and Illness: A Mindful Guide. She also writes a great blog called, "Turning Straw Into Gold." Today Toni talks to us about why the path to peace begins with facing difficult realities, how mindfulness can help with chronic pain and illness, and some of the key lessons she's learned. Elisha: How is this book different from your other book on chronic pain and illness, How to Be Sick? Toni: The new book is broader in scope than How to Be Sick, and it's organized differently. How to Be Sick is organized around concepts and practices to help people learn to live with grace and purpose despite the limitations imposed by their health. By contrast, the new book is organized around specific difficulties and challenges that people face, such as dealing with others who don't (or refuse to) understand; making the best use of your short time with the doctor; coping with isolation and loneliness; handling mood swings and painful emotions; the difficult challenge of being young and chronically ill. The new book goes beyond my personal experience because I draw on the thousands of people who've written to me about their health struggles. What the books have in common is a liberal use of personal anecdotes, easy-to-learn practices (such as mindfulness and self-compassion), and my conversational style of writing. People tell me they feel as if we're sitting in the kitchen together chatting over coffee or tea. Elisha: In the introduction, you say the path to peace begins with facing life's stark realities. What do you mean by that? Toni: I'm referring to some of the inescapable realities of the human condition. First of all, we're in bodies and they get sick and injured and old. Coming to terms with this opens the door to
12 Striking Photos Depicting Depression and Anxiety
We live in a time where there is simply too much to pay attention to. Our nervous systems are overloaded leading many people to disconnect and now we're seeing rising levels of anxiety and depression. In fact, there isn't a single person I know who hasn't experienced these in one form or another. But when you try to convey what anxiety depression really feel like, words never really do it justice. Katie Joy Crawford is a photographer who through her own experience has created 12 stunning photos she calls, "My Anxious Heart" depicting how anxiety and depression feel. Allow this to be a mindfulness practice, take a breath and look at each picture, notice what kinds of thoughts, emotions and sensations arise. Does the picture resonate with you in some way or at some point in your life? A picture is truly worth more than a thousand words. "depression is when you can't feel at all. anxiety is when you feel too much. having both is a constant war within your own mind. having both means never winning."
Four Steps to Freedom from Negative Thinking
A number of years ago I created a free email-based program called "Daily Now Moments." Every day people get an email into their inbox that is meant to inspire a moment of mindfulness or give some practical guidance in the direction of emotional freedom and happiness. One of the practices is called "The Freedom Practice" and I wanted to share it with you because it can be so useful in gaining freedom from styles of thinking that don't serve us and keep us stuck in stress, anxiety, depression and even our addictive behaviors Sometimes I call these styles of thinking "Mind Traps." Mind traps are styles like catastrophizing, blaming, exaggerating the negative and discounting the positive or just your most common negative thoughts.
The Freedom PracticeWhen you first notice a mind trap or common negative thought, first stop, take an intentional deep breath and from this more mindful space, move through these next four steps (Name, Feel, Release, Redirect):
A Mindful Proposal: Can You Handle 5 Minutes of Solitude?
In a past article, journalist Andrea Chalupa made a Mindful Proposal for everyone to make a plan to take out 24 hours in solitude. She quotes her father, Dr. Leo Chalupa, saying that "A national day of absolute solitude would do more to improve the brains of all Americans than any other one-day program." This might sound scary to some and intriguing to others, but have no fear, this is not going to happen. But what can happen? Thomas Merton said, "Solitude is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather, it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it." We are in an age where there is no solitude at all and if there were any we'd grab for our phones to make sure there wasn't any. Whether you're in the camp who believes it our not, the pace at which we live our lives and the amount of things we try to pay attention to at once are major recipes for stress, anxiety, depression and addictive behaviors. Spending time in solitude is actually a very healthy thing to do, it's giving us an opportunity to balance the busyness. It's not only a mindful act, but a self-compassionate act too. Furthermore, the more balanced you are, the better you'll rub off on others, so maybe consider it's something that can might even make the world a a little bit better. So what if we took her proposal to heart, but scaled it back a bit? How about starting with five minutes of solitude per day? Maybe we can even scale it to two sessions of five minutes a day at some point? Why even consider this?

A boundary element (BE) formulation is presented for predicting the surface power density distribution for short conductors having rotational symmetry in an induction heating system. The accuracy of the solution is tested by considering the case of a short right-cylindrical conductor coaxial with an induction coil. Each sharp edge is represented by two coinciding nodes to ensure that the normal direction is well defined on the end regions. The location of the conductor w.r.t. the coil is considered, and particular attention is given to the effect of the relative positions of the conductor and coil on the end-region power distribution. Numerical results for the electromagnetic field distributions over the boundary of the conductor are presented and compared with experimental values. Curves showing the effects of the operating frequency, the conductor conductivity, and the length-to-radius ratio on the predicted total surface power are given

|mod_perl.pm and Apache 2
|Fri, 28 Mar 2003 19:25:39 GMT
Hi I'm trying to build RequestTracker (RT), a trouble ticket system which uses Apache and mod_perl. Apache's site recommends Apache 2, so I've got that, and I've built mod_perl-1.99 for it. Now here's the problem. RT requires a bunch of perl modules, among them Apache::Cookie. That module requires something called mod_perl.pm. So I do an "install mod_perl" on the MCPAN command line. This asks me for my Apache source. I answer "/usr/opt/src/httpd-2.0.44". Then I get this: Configure mod_perl with /usr/opt/src/httpd-2.0.44 ?

MUMBAI Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said on Thursday India's budget had adopted a "cautious" approach in tackling some of economy's structural weaknesses and said it would have no bearing on the country's sovereign rating.
"The commitment of the new Indian government to maintaining the trend of fiscal consolidation would benefit the sovereign's credit fundamentals. However, the budget announced today has opted for a cautious approach toward tackling some of the economy's structural weaknesses," S&P said in a statement.
Earlier, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley unveiled a budget that seeks to revive growth and curb borrowing, but left open questions on how it will reduce the fiscal deficit.
S&P added the budget would have "no immediate impact" on India's sovereign rating. The agency is the only of the three major ratings providers to rate India with a "negative" outlook.
S&P said it could lower India's rating to below investment-grade from the current "BBB-minus" rating should the new government prove unable to reverse India's low economic growth.
Alternatively, S&P said it could revise the outlook to stable if the government can restore some of India's "lost growth potential and consolidate its fiscal accounts."

Chapter 1
The Jar
Origins can be difficult to trace. But if we are forced to uncover the origins of Claude Page and his invention, and grant those origins some fine and subtle meaning, we must begin by noting the arrival of the Vengeful Widow on the tenth of September, 1780. Though the Widow can be compared to the easterly of Devon and the mistral of southern France, that doesn't quite do justice to her bite. As winds go, she is drier and nastier than her French and English cousins. Parish records indicate that when she hit in 1741, the Widow pulled the steeple off the Tournay church-a steeple that had been mounted and secured just two months earlier-and deposited it in the sty of a heretical farmer. The event provided Father Gamot, the local priest, with a chance for some spirited sermonizing. Ten years later the Widow struck again, this time thrusting the branch of a birch tree through the stomach of Philippe Rochat's piebald pony. Rochat was a devout Catholic, so on that occasion Father Gamot had to keep quiet. But the devastations of '41 and '51 were only preludes to the attack on the tenth of September, when the Widow grabbed the valley's inhabitants mercilessly and by surprise. She stripped tiles from roofs, needles from pines. She slipped through unlatched shutters, searching for exposed bits of flesh. Then she struck: cramping toes, deadening udders, waking dormant nipples.
On that night, the house of Claude Page was singularly secure from the Widow's invasion. Madame Page had noticed slight changes in her nailed-up twig of sapling fir and in the demeanor of the family milch cow. The agitation of the beast and movements in the homemade hygroscopeforeshadowed the arrival of the unwelcome wind. Madame Page had ordered the family to prepare.
Claude and his younger sister, Evangeline, shuttered shutters and tied down what needed tying down. They repositioned the roof rocks before closing themselves inside the cottage, where an oak fire counteracted the Vengeful Widow. Fid'lit', the eldest of the three Page children, headed a scouting party to cover over cracks in the cottage walls. She toured the periphery of the kitchen, moving her hand up and down. Occasionally she would shout, "A draft!" and dispatch Evangeline to daub the trouble spot with a blend of straw and mud, a recipe of her own mixing. Fid'lit' ordered her sister to push the gravel-filled snake across the threshold and to stuff a length of old lace in the ornate pump lock, thus conjoining two of the trades that made the valley famous-metalwork and lacemaking-in novel fashion.
When the Dragon rug was draped over the window, Madame Page declared, "We're as cozy as a watch in a fat man's vest." She then turned her attention to the pinecones she was roasting for her children. It was a scene that catchpenny printers of the period would have titled, with perhaps a touch of irony, Domestic Peace.
Claude stretched out in the attic, peering occasionally through an unplugged knot. In his hands he held a crude copybook, a saint's day gift that was his most regular companion. The intended purpose of the copybook, as indicated by the solid and dotted lines that marched across the page, was the acquisition of proper handwriting. But Claude had adapted it and a pot of ink to his own purposes, namely drawing.
His nose rubbed against the unvarnished oak as he gazed through the knot and lined up the scene below. This peephole perspective was one of Claude's favorites, and he had filled the copybook with many such views, "as if through Father's telescope."
He found his target quickly: Fid'lit'. Though never terribly kind to his elder sister, Claude tried to maintain a peace of sorts. His unspoken frustrations, however, found quick and direct release in the copybook sketches. He discovered the reason for Fid'lit's tyrannous patching expedition. She had decided to build a house of cards, a project vulnerable to drafts. Claude begrudged the pleasure she took in refusing to let Evangeline do anything but watch, wait, and admire the full scope of her talents.
Talents? Hardly. Claude was always more bold in his constructions, putting the face cards outward in raucous confrontation, at least insofar as the cards could confront each other back to back. Fid'lit', on the other hand, lacked inspiration. Her cardhouses, tedious in design, ignored the conjunctions of the kings and knaves who kissed at an apex, or queens flanked by lesser members of the deck. Also, Fid'lit' cheated by lodging the card edges in the knife cuts of the table before bringing the tops together. This suited Claude's mocking illustration. He had the cardboard nobility emerge from its surface existence to do battle with the hapless architect. He allowed the King of Hearts to slice off one of Fid'lit''s ears, which looked like jug handles, and had the Queen of Cups spit in her eye. Then he transformed an andiron into the little black dog nibbling at his sister's foot.
"It is to be the mansion house of the Count," Fid'lit' told her sister.
Claude sniggered. The architecture had taken on pathetically monastic dimensions that suggested none of the mansion house quirkiness. A courtyard, a cloister, and a steeple figured in the plan. Evangeline pestered Fid'lit' for cards and consequently received a smack. "Your hands are too muddy." A full-blown, whispered quarrel ensued. Worried by the possibility of parental intervention, Fid'lit' finally quieted her sister by giving over three cards. The girls returned to their handiwork, and Claude returned to his.
There was a rap at the door, but it was faint. The Vengeful Widow did her best to muffle the sound. Claude's mother, overseeing the pinecones, didn't hear a thing. Fid'lit' heard-how could she not, with those jug-handle ears?-but ignored the summons. It was Claude who announced the arrival of an unexpected guest. Madame Page ordered the door opened. Fid'lit', with much reluctance, slithered away the snake and freed the lock of its costly wadding.

''Dutch and Flemish Masterworks from the Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo Collectio''
Wander among a collection of some of the greatest works by the Old Masters at the "Dutch and Flemish Masterworks from the Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo Collection" exhibition. The show features works by Rembrandt, Hals, Gerrit Dou, Jan Steen and others. The colors and light utilized in these timeless classics remain some of the best examples of visual art ever wrought. The van Otterloos are first and foremost passionate appreciators of beauty and the aesthetic perfection in nature, and as such their collection is an expression of love as much as anything else. High on the list of must-see works is Orpheus Charming the Animals; an amazing scene from mythology rendered with draftsman-like perfection, it's a fantastical work by the usually realist landscape master Aelbert Cuyp. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 12:15 to 7 p.m. Sundays. Through February 12. Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1001 Bissonnet. For information, call 713-639-7300 or visit www.mfah.org. $3.50 to $7.
Tuesdays-Sundays. Starts: Nov. 13. Continues through Feb. 12, 2011

Research Institution:
Abstract79186S Fresh water is growing scarcer and costlier. Power production is the second largest user of fresh water, accounting for 130 billion gallons daily. Unfortunately, current approaches to reducing the water used in power production increase the cost of power and reduce the efficiency. Cycle improvements are needed which will enable power to be produced from coal with reduced water usage but without economic or efficiency penalty. This project will develop a new power cycle, the Steam Ammonia Power Cycle (SAPC), which avoids the penalties normally encountered in air-cooled power cycles. The SAPC condenser operates above atmospheric pressure (100-250 psia), allowing "dry" or "damp" cooling with finned tube heat exchangers, greatly reducing the quantity of water required (60% reduction with damp cooling). Also, because the SAPC cycle closely matches the temperature glide of the heat available from the power plant, it will be from 5% to 15% more energy efficient than the conventional steam cycle. Phase I will analyze and optimize the SAPC cycle for three specific power generation applications, which cover the gamut of coal-fired application to power production: coal direct, coal derived gas in a combined cycle, and coal derived liquid in a combustion turbine. For each, the benefits of reduced water consumption and reduced fuel use will be quantified, and the change in capital cost will be estimated. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee: Applications should include integrated coal gasification combined cycle power plants, coal-fired power plants, and other cycles which incorporate a steam vacuum condenser. With a 25% penetration of this technology, fresh water consumption would be reduced by 22 billion gallons per day, and fuel consumption by 0.35 quads per year.

To be honest, I was not expecting the paper to close. I have received almost overwhelmingly positive feedback on the paper since we started publishing it. People seemed to like the "Local Faces, Local Names, Local News" approach that was heavier on photos and positive community items and lighter on news-y reporting. We were not the Lincoln News, nor did we ever intend to be the same type of publication. We tried to tie the paper in with a popular website and Facebook page to offer a media platform that no one else in our area had. And advertisers seemed to like the combination, as our ad revenue continued to grow throughout the life of the publication.
But apparently it didn't grow enough to support the paper. I received an unexpected call from Bob at Hometown Newspapers on Tuesday letting me know that it wasn't sustainable any more, and that he was pulling the plug. He did offer to print one more final edition to announce the closure, but I didn't see any point in having him lose money on one more edition.
So you may be wondering what that means for the Exploring Lincoln website and Facebook pages. The answer is I don't know yet. I ran Exploring Lincoln for nearly a year before starting the paper, and the popularity it had accumulated was what made Hometown Papers approach me about starting the Explorer. It has continued to grow since then, to the point now where nearly 5000 people have liked the Facebook page, and thousands of people are hitting the website and interacting with the content each week. That's not bad when you consider that the town lists the population of Lincoln as 5221 on their website.
The bulk of that traffic comes from the photos of local sports and area events I publish, and also from some of the community news and business spotlights I write. And the truth is that I was doing that before the paper started, and can continue to do it even though the paper is gone. I really enjoy getting out in the community with my camera, meeting lots of folks, and capturing cool moments as they participate in life in small-town Maine. What the paper allowed me to do was to make a little money while doing it so that I could justify all the time I spent taking, editing, and posting photos. I will continue Exploring Lincoln in some form, but haven't worked out the details yet.
What I can say now is thank you – thanks to all the businesses that advertised in the paper, thanks to all the stores and offices that distributed copies, and especially thanks to all the people who read it each week. I really appreciate all the encouragement and compliments I have received over the past 8 or 9 months in the paper business, and am sorry that the print copy, at least for now, is dead. Please keep checking the website and Facebook page, as local content and photos will continue. And stay tuned to see what comes next…

Symphony No. 1: Asgard
By Teo Aparicio Barberan
Concert band - Grade 5-6
Composed by Teo Aparicio Barberan. Concert works. Score and set of parts. Duration 0:21:07. Published by Beriato Music (BT.EMA-001).
Item Number: BT.EMA-001
This impressive piece by the young Spanish composer Teo Aparicio Barberan was created at the famous 2002 International Contest for Bands, Ciudad de Valencia, which is one of the most prestigious competitions in Europe. The composer based this work on a Scandinavian romantic fairytale. ... where the flowery landscape remains in that sweet scented season when spring is about to turn to summer at all times. Its fields resemble smooth green lawns (kept cropped by herds of deep red cows and woolly sheep) and its forests are home to bountiful deer and songbirds. All of this is protected by a wall you cannot climb, made of closely fitted stone blocks. We would be unable to enter if not for the grace of Odin. It is here that Odin sits on his throne at High Nest in Valhalla and surveys all those in his domains. The door of Valhalla Valhalla, or the Hall of The Slain. This is the place where Odin resides preparing his legions of heroes for the coming of Ragnarok. The rafters are built from giant spears and the roof from shields. The hall has 540 doors and 800 warriors can pass through each door, shoulder to shoulder. This makes it the grandest of halls to be preserved in Asgard. If you listen carefully, you may hear the battle cries of the fallen heroes as they prepare for battle against the approaching Ragnarok. The guard of the clouds Jotumheim, the so-called guard of the clouds, is one of giant warriors in charge of the doors of Asgard. The brave Balder, our hero, asks for help to find his way back to Mildgard. Jotunheim wakes up from his eternal dream in a bad mood, and they both engage in a fierce battle. After conceding defeat, he agrees to show the Kingdom to Balder, and takes him to Odin. Crazy Man Odin, the most powerful of all gods, receives Balder in the Mildgard Palace. Shocked by Jotunheims defeat, they enter into an agreement. He will allow Balder to return to his world if he is able to defeat Ragnarok. In order to do this, he can count on the help of Thor, the God of Thunder. But they must watch out for the evil and crazy Loki, who will try to beat Mildgards warriors and become the owner of Asgard. Brave Balder fights until the end. He defeats his rival but, weakened by his wounds, loses his life. Thor, armed with his hammer Mljnir, kills Loki and takes the latters dead body to Odin, who turns him into the God of Light.

Would that hurt things or help? Paulson says talks still going on and h has confidence, or he says he does not like it and he is out. Stock down maybe?
Paulson needs to explain how he blew hundreds of millions of his client's funds in the Canadian Sino-Forest accounting fraud before he opens his mouth about ANYTHING.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
I'd prefer he says he has confidence and loaded up more ; would help him to lower cost basis.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Paulson lost any credibility he ever had when he LOST $900 million in CLIENT funds gambling on SINO-FOREST the Canadian accounting fraud. God Bless Carson Block for exposing it. Paulson obviously didn't do DD. It only took 2 journalists a weekend to confirm Block was right about the fraud.
Sentiment: Sell
