ELASTICITY OF DEMAND by Srikant Devaraj
Supply and Demand:Supply and demand form the backbone of economics and govern the laws of the economic market. The inter relationship between them have long defined the allocation of resources in the market. The quantity of demand and supply relate to the responsiveness of the product in the market and in turn define its requirement. (Investopedia, 2003) This change of demand/supply of product leads to the concept of Elasticity. I would like to begin this paper by giving an example of the relationship between demand, supply and price.
Consider a new video game in the market. Based on the company's previous research, consumers would not buy games higher than for $300 only 30 were released because the opportunity cost is too high for suppliers to produce more. If, however, the 30 games are demanded by 50 people, the price will subsequently rise because, according to the demand relationship. As the demand increases, so does the price. Consequently, the rise in price should prompt more CDs to be supplied since the supply relationship shows that the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied.
However, if there are 30 video games console's produced and demand is still at 20, the price will not be pushed up because the supply more than accommodates demand. In fact after the 20 consumers have been satisfied with their CD purchases, the price of the leftover consoles might drop as the producers attempt to sell the remaining. The lower price will then make the CD more available to people who had previously decided that the opportunity cost of buying the CD was too high.
Elasticity:The Economics glossary defines elasticity as:
"Elasticity is a measure of responsiveness to change. The responsiveness of behavior measured by variable Z to a change in environment variable Y is the change in Z observed in response to a change in Y. Specifically, this approximation is common:
Elasticity = (percentage change in Z) / (percentage change in Y)
The smaller the percentage change in Y is practical, the better the measure is and the closer it is to the intended theoretically perfect measure." (Economics, 2009)
To put it in simple words elasticity is the degree of change in supply and demand curve with respect to price. The degree of change varies with the product/service concerned. However, for commodities that are necessities price changes do not have much effect since consumers would continue buying them irrespective of the increase in price. And similarly commodities that are not much of a requirement will deter more consumers in case of a price increase.
Price Elasticity of Demand:Where the Law of demand states that the decrease in price increases the demand of the product, the price elasticity of demand determines how much of the quantity demanded responds to change in price, i.e., it's the proportionate change in demand given a change in price. (Christensen, 2003)
Determinants of price elasticity of demand
The price elasticity of demand depends on many economic, social and physiological factors, however some of the general rules include: (Bamford and Munday, 2002)
Substitute availability: There is a simple relationship here, greater the substitute greater is the elasticity. For example if we consider butter and margarine, an increase in the price of margarine while the butter remains same causes the sale of margarine to reduce drastically since its substitutable. Whereas in case of eggs where there is no substitute its less elastic.
Necessarily Vs Luxury: Necessities tend to have a constant demand curve while luxury goods tend to fluctuate. For example in case of increase in college tuition would not cause students to stop classes in the middle of the semester, however when the real estate market faces a price shoot up the number of buyers definitely dwindle.
Market definitions: Elasticity of demand also depends on how we define market boundaries. Narrowly defined markets are more elastic than broadly defined ones. For example food in general is broad and exhibits a constant demand, while if we narrow down to cookies, there are many substitutes and depicts an inelastic relationship.
Income: Products requiring a larger portion of the consumer's income tend to be more elastic.
Permanent or temporary price change: A one day sale would have different response than an individual price decrease of the same magnitude.
Time Factor: Goods and services tend to have a more elastic effect over a longer period of time.
Calculating the price elasticity of demand
Since price elasticity of demand is change in price for quantity demanded, mathematically it amounts to:
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded /Percentage change in price
For example, a 10% increase in the price of a tread mill causes the amount of the equipment bought to fall by 20 %. So the price elasticity of demand is
Price elasticity of demand = -20 % / 10% = - 2
Demand is said to be inelastic when he absolute value of the own price elasticity is lesser than 1, i.e, percentage change in quantity decreases when there is a change in price. In certain situations, the demand remains inelastic, inspite of pieces being higher. This is infact true for a number of medicaions that are available to treat certain conditions, where there is no subsititute. Demand remains constant in spite of high prices. Also, take the case of fuel consumption, where only few substitutes exist. During 2006, when the fuel prices were at its maximum, the demand for gasoline was affected only slighly. Although there were very few alternatives like hybrid cars, they still continued to purchase gasoline and the demand was indeed considered inelastic. Another typical example would be water, where there is no substitute. (Christensen, 2003)
Demand is said to be unitary elastic when the absolute value of the own price elasticity is equal to 1. (Baye, 2009)
Below figure represents graphical representation of three types of elasticity.
The rule of thumb is that the price elasticity for most products is near to 1.0. For most consumer goods and services price elasticity is in between 0.5 to 1.5. The table 1 below shows estimated price elasticity's of demand for a variety of consumer goods and services: (Anderson, 1997)

Marginal revenue – Relationship with elasticity of demand
In microeconomics, Marginal Revenue (MR) is the extra revenue that an additional unit of product will bring. Marginal revenue (MR) is the change in total revenue per unit change in output. Since MR measures the rate of change in total revenue as quantity changes, MR is the slope of the total revenue (TR) curve
.The Total Revenue Test states that if demand is elastic, an increase (decrease) in price will lead to a decrease (increase) in total revenue. And if demand is inelastic, an increase (decrease) in price will lead to an increase (decrease) in total revenue. Total revenue is maximized at the point where demand is unitary elastic. (Baye, 2009)
The figure below represents the relationship between Marginal revenue and total revenue with the elasticity of demand. The green curve indicates Total revenue, Yellow line indicates Marginal revenue and Red line indicates demand curve.
(Source: Truett and Truett, 2006 )
From the above graph we can conclude that the Marginal revenue is positive only when demand elasticity is greater than unity, i.e., a price fall causes proportionately larger increase in quantity demanded. It also shows that when price falls, the total revenue increases and marginal revenue is positive. Hence Marginal curve lies above the horizontal axis. Similarly, the Marginal revenue is negative whenever elasticity of demand is lesser than unity, i.e., a price fall causes proportionately smaller increase in quantity demanded. It also shows that when price falls, the total revenue falls and marginal revenue becomes negative. This marginal curve lies below the horizontal axis. (Truett and Truett, 2006)
Moving from left to right on the bottom graph indicates what happens to total revenue as price is lowered and the quantity sold increases. At lower quantities (higher prices) demand is elastic. Quantity increases are relatively greater than price decreases and total revenue increases as more units are sold. This means a company facing an elastic demand can increase revenue by decreasing price.
When demand becomes inelastic, quantity increases are now relatively less than price decreases, and total revenue falls. This means a company could increase total revenue by increasing price and selling fewer units. This could mean a very high profit. Important questions to be answered concern how competitors react to these higher prices, can the company produce lower quantities at reasonably low costs, exactly how much profit will the company make, and how will the government react to these higher profits. When demand is elastic, price and total revenue move in the opposite direction. When demand is inelastic, price and total revenue move in the same direction. (Truett and Truett, 2006)
The following table shows the consolidation of results obtained from the above graph:
|Marginal Revenue
|Total Revenue
|Price Elasticity of Demand
|TR increases as Quantity increases
|TR is maximized
|Unit Elastic
|TR decreases as Quantity increases
Elasticity of Supply
Elasticity of supply is the ratio of relative change of the quantity supplied to the relative change in the supply price. In other words, it is a measure of how much the quantity supplied of a good responds to a change in the price of that good. This is important for the suppliers as they indicate how much production will increase or decrease with a given price change. The price elasticity of supply is used to see how sensitive the supply of a good is to a price change. The higher the price elasticity, the more sensitive producers and sellers are to price changes. High price elasticity suggests that when the price of a good goes up, sellers will supply a great deal less of the good and when the price of that good goes down, sellers will supply a great deal more. Low price elasticity implies just the opposite, that changes in price have little influence on supply. (Bittermann, 1934)
Determinants of the Price Elasticity of Supply
They are
a) Flexibility of sellers: goods that are somewhat fixed in supply have inelastic supplies.
b) Time horizon: supply is usually more inelastic in the short run than in the long run.
c) Production possibilities: Goods that can be produced at a constant (or very gently rising) opportunity cost have an elastic supply. Goods that can be produced in only a fixed quantity have a perfectly inelastic supply.
d) Storage possibilities: The supply of a storable good is highly elastic. The cost of storage is the main influence on the elasticity of supply of a storable good. (Bittermann, 1934)
Supply is said to be elastic (inelastic) if the elasticity exceeds (is less than) 1. The more elastic supply is, the more will a change in price increase production. Because firms often have a maximum capacity for production, the elasticity of supply may be very high at low levels of quantity supplied and very low at high levels of quantity supplied. (Bade and Parkin, 2002)
Perfectly Elastic Supply
An almost zero percentage change in price brings a very large percentage change in the quantity supplied.
A small rise in the price decreases the quantity supplied by a very large amount, i.e., supply is perfectly elastic.
Elastic Supply
The percentage change in the quantity supplied exceeds the percentage change in price.
A 10% increase in the price of a book, increases the quantity supplied by 20%, i.e., the supply of books is elastic.
Unit Elastic Supply
The percentage change in the quantity supplied equals the percentage change in price.
A 10% increase in the price of fish, increases the quantity supplied of fish by 10%, i.e., the supply of fish is unit elastic.
Inelastic Supply
The percentage change in the quantity supplied is less than the percentage change in price.
A 20% increase in the price of a hotel room, increases the quantity supplied of rooms by 10%, i.e., the supply of hotel rooms is inelastic.
Perfectly Inelastic Supply
The percentage change inthe quantity supplied is zero when the price changes.
A small rise in the price of a beachfront lot, increases the quantity supplied by 0%, i.e., the supply of beachfront lots are perfectly inelastic. (Bade and Parkin, 2002)
Another application for elasticity of supply is the gold. Price of gold is volatile, sometimes shooting upwards one moment and dramatically decreasing the next. This happens because of shifts in demand and highly inelastic supply. Gold production is expensive and time consuming to process.
Cross Price Elasticity
Cross elasticity of demand is the % change in quantity demanded divided by the % change in the price of a substitute or complement. It measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good X to changes in the price of related good Y, holding the price of good X & all other demand determinants for good X constant (Baye, 2009).
Cross elasticity is positive for goods that are substitutes. Cross elasticity of demand is positive if the sales of product X move in the same direction as a change in the price of product Y. Larger the positive cross-elasticity coefficient, greater the substitutability between the two products. For example, when the price of hot dogs increases, the quantity of hamburgers demanded increases.
Cross price elasticity is negative for goods that are complements. When cross elasticity is negative: increase in price of product X decreases the demand for product Y. Larger the negative cross-elasticity coefficient, greater the complimentarily between the two products. For example, when the price of hot dogs increases, quantity of hot dog rolls demanded decreases.
A product's substitutability, measured by the cross-elasticity coefficient, is important in businesses and government because the demand for their products is directly affected by the price of other products. The figure below shows the cross price elasticity of demand between Pizza's, soda and burgers. (Bade and Parkin, 2002)
Pizzas and burgers are substitutes, therefore Cross elasticity is positive.
Pizzas and soda are complements therefore Cross elasticity is negative.
Some of the cross price elasticity of goods is mentioned below:
|Consumer products
|gasoline (competing stn)
|Boston, MA
|electricity/gas (residential)
|electricity/oil (residential)
Another application for cross price elasticity is the market for carbonated soft drinks industry. The rivals coke and pepsi are typical examples. The sales of Coke will fall if the price of Pepsi falls because some Coke drinkers will switch from Coke to Pepsi. The own and cross price elasticities for regular carbonated soft drinks is given in below table: (Cotterill, 1994)
Significant complements rather than substitute relationships is reflected in the above table. Sprite, a clear soda, for example, has a negative (complementary) cross price elasticity of (–0 .090) in the Coke demand equation and Coke is a complement in the Sprite equation. Since these brands are both produced by the Coca Cola Company the results do provide some evidence on the extent to which companies position and market products as complements rather than substitutes. Mountain Dew, a Pepsico brand, however has a positive (substitute) cross price elasticity in the Pepsi demand equation.
Complementary demand relationships were not expected among these competing regular soft drink products. When Coke, for example, lowers its price, shoppers are attracted and pickup some Sprite as a complementary product to provide "variety" or a clear soda for the non-coke crowd. Other strong complementary relationships exist for the following two pairs: Seven-Up and private label, and Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper. (Cotterill, 1994)
Income Elasticity
Income elasticity of demand is the % change in quantity demanded divided by the % change in income. Income elasticity (EM) measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income, holding the price of the good & all other demand determinants constant. (Baye, 2009)
Income elasticity is positive for Normal (Superior) Goods such as steak and vacations - more is purchased as income increases. A positive income-elasticity coefficient symbolizes a normal good; income and quantity demanded move in same direction
Income elasticity is negative for Inferior Goods such as bread and hamburger - less is purchased as income increases. A negative income-elasticity coefficient represents an inferior good (Ex. retread tires, cabbage, used clothing). A negative coefficient means that the income and quantity demanded move in opposite directions. i.e., as the income increases, the demand for the good decreases meaning it is inferior.
The below figure shows the demand curves for all the three types of income elasticity. (Bade and Parkin, 2002)
The below table indicates the income elasticity for various products.
|Consumer products
|electricity (residential)
|telephone service
The demand for necessities tends to be relatively less income elastic than the demand for discretionary items. For example the demand for clothing is more sensitive to income than demand for food.
The below table reflects the budget shares and income elasticites of various consumption categories across the world. (Regmi et al., 2006)
Based on the above table, low-income countries spend a greater portion (47 percent) of their total expenditures on food compared with richer countries, which on average spend 13 percent of their total budget on food. In general, lower income countries spend a greater proportion of their budget on necessities such as food, while richer countries spend a greater proportion on luxuries. With income elasticity below one, food, beverages and tobacco, and clothing and footwear appear to be necessities in all countries, while education, gross rent, fuel and power, house operations, medical care, recreation, transport and other groups are all luxuries. (Regmi et al., 2006)
Coverage from Science of Success:
Koch's Market-Based Management system acts as a stepping stone between how individual performance can be improved and how liberty can free societies to accomplish more. It is based on five dimensions: vision, virtue and talents, knowledge processes, decision rights, and incentives. (Koch, 2007)
Vision is about finding when and how an organization can create the greatest long-term value. It uses experimentation to develop value delivered for customers based on what the finest opportunities are and what the organization can most successfully accomplish.
Virtues and talents ensure that people with the right values, skills, and capabilities are hired, retained, and developed. In short, it attracts and retains people who want to follow the right principles with suitable talents for the tasks.
Knowledge processes involve creating, acquiring, sharing, and applying relevant knowledge, and measuring and tracking profitability. In short, it analytically adds to, disseminates, and applies knowledge related to profitability.
Decision rights ensure that the right people are in the right roles with the right authorities to make decisions and holding them responsible. It encourages people to become better decision makers after they have developed their skills and to be accountable for the decisions they make.
Finally, incentives reward employees as much as possible by the long-term value they have helped deliver for the organization. (Koch, 2007)
1. In measuring the sensitivity of demand, the
a. price and income elasticities refer to movements along the demand curve; other elasticities refer to shifts of the entire demand curve
b. price and cross-price elasticities analyze movements along the demand curve; other elasticities refer to shifts of the entire demand curve
c. income and cross-price elasticities refer to movements along the demand curve; price elasticity refers to shifts of the entire demand curve
d. price elasticity refers to movements along the demand curve; income and cross-price elasticities refer to shifts of the entire demand curve
ANSWER: D - The price elasticity usually considers the movement along the curve. Cross-price and Income elasticity considers the shift of entire demand curves.
2. The value of price elasticity of demand:
a. Depends on the units that are used to measure quantities
b. Has the same value as the slope of the demand curve
c. Depends on the units that are used to measure prices
d. Do not depend on the units in which quantity and price are measured.
ANSWER: D - The units of measurement of price and quantity are independent of the value of price elasticity.
3. If the income elasticity of demand is 1, then
a. A 5 % increase in income will induce a 1% increase in purchases of good
b. A 5 % decrease in income will induce a 5% decrease in purchases of good
c. A 5 % increase in income will induce a 5% decrease in purchases of good
d. A 5 % increase in income will induce a 5% increase in purchases of good
ANSWER: B - Income elasticity = % change in quantity demanded / % change in income = -5% / -5% = 1
4. Currently you purchase 4 packages of hot dogs a month. You will graduate from Ball State University in May and you will start a new job in June. You have no plans to purchase hot dogs in June. For you, hot dogs are

The dual-core superscalar processor has two identical Out-of-Order cores. Each core is a 4-issue superscalar. The multi-core processor has 16 in-order processor cores. Each in-order core of the multi-core processor can achieve about one third the performance of the OoO superscalar core. A benchmark program K includes both sequential codes that can only be executed on one CPU core and parallel codes that can be distributed to multiple CPU cores. For program K, execution of the sequential codes takes 30% of the total execution time. Please answer which processor would deliver faster performance for benchmark program K and show your calculations.

While enjoyable, the nature of recreational boating makes it a potential source for the most damaging types of water pollution: oil and fuel, sewage, chemicals, solid waste and debris.
Boaters can inadvertently introduce all of these harmful pollutants into the environment through their everyday activities. Much can be done by individual citizens to help protect coastal water quality and as a boat owner,
can play a major role in improving water quality.
The first step is to understand the potential impact of boating activities. One of the largest impacts that people, including boaters have on the marine environment is the introduction and prevalence of marine debris.
Marine debris is anything that inadvertently ends up in the marine environment. It get there directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally, disposed of or abandoned. No matter how it got there, it will have an impact on the environment. Living around the
Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary
has it's benefits, but also its responsibilities. Great conservation efforts happen locally around the Monterey Bay through a variety of organizations. Read on for more resources about how you can enjoy the environment as well as protect it.
Happy boating!
Most common types of marine debris
- As society has developed new uses for plastics, the variety and quantity of plastic items found in the marine environment has increased dramatically. These products range from common domestic material (bags, cups, bottles, balloons) to industrial products (strapping bands, plastic sheeting, hard hats, resin pellets) to lost or discarded fishing gear (nets, buoys, traps, lines).
Glass, Metal, Styrofoam, and Rubber
- These materials are similar to plastic in that they are used for a wide range of products. While they can be worn away - broken down into smaller and smaller fragments, they generally do not biodegrade entirely. As these materials are used commonly in our society, their occurrence as marine debris is overwhelming.
Derelict Fishing Gear
- Derelict fishing gear (DFG) refers to nets, lines, crab/shrimp pots, and other recreational or commercial fishing equipment that has been lost, abandoned, or discarded in the marine environment. Modern gear is generally made of synthetic materials and metal, and lost gear can persist for a very long time.

Marine Litter on Monterey Bay
Do your part
Marine Debris is EVERYONE'S problem
Tip 1:
Secure loads in your vehicles. If you are transporting loose material in a truck or trailer, ensure that it is secured properly, especially the back end.
Tip 2:
Report Litter. If you see vehicles or commercial vehicles (including Garbage trucks) with litter coming out of their vehicles, get the license plate, location, time and date and call the company.
Tip 3:
Stop Litter before it starts. The most effective way to keep litter off the beaches and roadways is to not generate it in the first place. Say no to plastic bags and polystyrene. When at the beach, use the Pack-it-in, Pack-it-out rule and take all your waste with you.
Protect while you play
Conserve water.
The more water you use the more water you send down the drain to be processed at sewage treatment facilities. This excess water can lead to sewer overflows and raw sewage discharges into streams, rivers and beach areas.
Use designated restrooms at beaches.
This can help to decrease the amount of human waste that is washed into the ocean. Keep diapered children out of the water and dispose of diapers properly.
Properly dispose of pet waste.
Bring bags to collect pet waste and throw it away in a trashcan. This helps decrease the amount of waste that is washed into streams, rivers and beaches when it rains.
Dispose of trash properly.
Place all waste in a trashcan, not on the beach or in the water.
Use natural products in your yard.
Whenever possible, minimize or eliminate the use of chemical herbicides and pesticides because they pollute the water.
Maintain your septic system, including the drain field.
Follow manufacturer instructions regarding pumping and maintenance service. This prevents the discharge of raw sewage into storm drains, rivers, streams, and the ocean following heavy rainfall.
Properly dispose of boating waste.
Empty portable toilet and sewage holding tanks into approved on-shore facilities. Maintain engines to minimize discharges of oil and gasoline.

Ken Burns Film Examines 1989 Jogger Case
Ken Burns' new movie in theaters is The Central Park Five. Five black and Latino teenagers admitted to the rape and beating of a white jogger and served prison sentences. But a startling confession in 2002 by a convicted murderer and rapist whose DNA was present at the crime scene led a judge to overturn their convictions.

In a striking reach across party lines, the White House and key lawmakers agreed Thursday to reshape the nation's immigration laws and give millions of illegal immigrants legal status. At the same time, borders would be tightened.
The compromise brought liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans together with top members of President Bush's team on an issue that carries heavy potential risks and rewards for all involved.
The Senate will wade into an emotional and wide-ranging debate on the issue next week that promises to test the unlikely coalition that produced the deal. Almost instantly, the plan brought vehement criticism from both sides of the immigration issue, including liberals who called it unfair and unworkable and conservatives who branded it an overly permissive "amnesty."
The proposal constitutes a far-reaching change in the immigration system that would admit future arrivals seeking to put down roots in the U.S. based on their skills, education levels and job experience, limiting the importance of family ties. A new class of guest workers would be allowed in temporarily, but only after borders were fortified and measures were in place to ensure the rules were followed.
Under the proposed deal, the Department of Homeland Security is under new pressure to plug the holes in the porous border with Mexico, reports CBS News correspondent Bob Orr. It must complete 370 miles of fencing, 200 miles of vehicle barriers, 70 ground-based radar and camera towers and deploy four unmanned aerial drones.
All of those steps have to happen before the 12 million illegal workers who are already in the country can pursue permanent legal status, Orr reports.
Mr. Bush said the proposal would "help enforce our borders but equally importantly, it'll treat people with respect."
Added late in the negotiations was the Dream Act, reports CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson. Immigrants who came illegally as children and are now in college or the military could stay and get a green card in just three years. This would be the fastest path to citizenship.
"This is a bill where people who live here in our country will be treated without amnesty but without animosity," Mr. Bush said.
The formula was enough to satisfy liberal Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass. — viewed as his party's decisive voice on immigration — and Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., a conservative who has been adamantly opposed to past overhauls.
Kennedy hailed it as "the best possible chance we will have in years to secure our borders and bring millions of people out of the shadows and into the sunshine of America."
Kyl said the measure wasn't perfect, "but it represents the best opportunity that we have in a bipartisan way to do something about this problem."
It was clear, however, that many Republicans and Democrats were deeply skeptical. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called the proposal a "starting point" for next week's debate and said it needed improvement.
"I have serious concerns about some aspects of this proposal, including the structure of the temporary worker program and undue limitations on family immigration," Reid said.
Bipartisan Immigration Deal Reached

I have searched here and everywhere on the Internet and only found a few posts addressing how to add JW Player to a template (php instead of shortcodes).
Apparently, the solution "used to be" the jwplayer_tag_callback function.
I've seen some mention that it doesn't work in latest version. Even if it did I cant' be sure it's not working for me because I have seen multiple versions of the syntax it requires.
Bottom line, I love this player, I want to put it in my home page header. How do I do it?

Timothy Gabriele: This is the best of two collaborations between Antony and Hudson Mohawke dropped this week. The other, which also features Oneohtrix Point Never under the name ANOHNI, is also a stunner. An aching vocal, a moving melody, and a gorgeous music video, perhaps what most stands out is that overblown snare hit, fuzzing into the red as if to overwhelm the track even further. I've always found HudMo a bit overhyped, but this may just have me giving Lantern a listen after all. Rewind/Replay. [8/10]

Three years ago, Jordan Davis was shot and killed at a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida. He was 17 years old.
The man who shot him complained that Jordan and his friends played their music too loudly. When he pulled out his weapon to shoot at the boys' car, the killer claimed self-defense, saying he saw a shotgun. No weapons were found in the car.
Los Angeles singer-songwriter Danielle Birrittella, otherwise known as Dia, will soon be releasing her new EP with trendy LA indie label Manimal, but in the meantime she's put together a gorgeous video for the track "Covered in Light". And as you'll hear, the track is reminiscent of everything from Beach House, to Slowdive, to Julee Cruise.
Dustin Ragucos: Aside from being great music to set up a trailer for a new Grand Theft Auto game, "I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)" will allow one to remember Kanye West's great "Good Life" and then almost immediately forget about its existence. The vocals and electronics are so attached to each other that stripping one of those factors will rip the life force from the track. The song gets dirty, but listeners will feel their grimy lives cleansed by the Persuasions samples. [9/10]
When they decided to tweak their sound on their second EP, Rochester, New York duo Roses & Revolutions had to have known they were on to something awfully good. Rooted in confessional singer-songwriter fare, guitarist Matt Merritt and singer Alyssa Coco have ventured further into pop on Torch, the sound broad enough to appeal to fans of alternative, mainstream country, and even R&B. Well-rounded and bolstered by tremendous hooks from start to finish, this is a record that deserves to be noticed.

Get The Look: Elizabeth Banks and Miranda Kerr at the 2013 Met Ball
Elizabeth Banks by Hairstylist Matthew Monzon
About: "Elizabeth wore an amazing Versace gold chain dress with a custom pair of Brian Atwood Shoes (her date). With the drama of the outfit, we didn't want her hair to be too insane, so we tried to downplay it a little bit, but keep the punk effect. We came up with a cool, sleek ponytail that had a sculptural effect when fused to the head with barrettes in the back." — Monzon
How To Get The Look:
- Spray a generous amount of Davines Melu Shied ($31.50/davines.com) onto damp hair. Follow by putting a healthy amount of Davines For Wizards No 3 Universal Mattering Mousse ($26/barneys.com) throughout the hair along with a few pumps of Davines OI/OIL ($39.50/davines.com) on the ends.
- Blow dry with a big paddle brush to try to maintain the sleek straightness, avoiding any "bend." Add extensions, when desired.
- Create a masculine, sleek square look in the front. Once the squareness is established, pull hair into a ponytail at the crown of the head. Do this by first focusing on pulling hair from the nape, then the sides, and lastly the top. Secure with a bungee band and take a 1/4 inch of hair and wrap it around to hide the band.

British researchers say that Jan. 6, is officially the worst day of the year. On the 6th, we are more likely to complain about the weather and the fact that we haven't stuck to our New Year resolutions.
Additionally, there are no more belated holiday gifts heading our way.

Patient Comments: Anemia - Treatments
How was your anemia treated?
Comment from: Penny, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: March 26
I was always a sickly child. Then when I tried to donate blood at 19, after my first child they told me I was anemic. I have had many of the symptoms here, craving for ice, headaches, easily bruised, fainting, dizziness, rapid temperature changes, ringing in my ears, heart palpitations and hitting my wall daily (my term for 'push through the fatigue then shut down'). After my fourth child at 30, the doctors began to get worried, my red cells had mutated to absorb more iron. My blood count was down to four, I was truly unwell. After years of putting off all the tests, I had iron shots and still no improvement. I ended up having a colonoscopy. It was discovered I have an auto immune disease, I am coeliac. Hopefully this news and change in lifestyle will change my life.
Comment from: Naturalremedy, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 22
I was suffering from anemia all my childhood. It came back heavily when I was pregnant. I took pills, iron, vitamins, and injections, nothing helped. I was told by a stranger to drink lots of fresh beetroot juice and sour red beetroot liquid. This is not the same as pickled beetroots. The fresh, raw slices of beetroots have to be put into a jar, with cold water, a few cloves of garlic and a piece of bread crust. The jar has to be covered but not closed. After a few days of fermentation, the water will turn red and should be ready to be used. Drink at least a glass of this liquid a day. This natural medication makes miracles. After a few days of drinking it, plus eating a lot of fresh vegetables you will be full of energy and your anemia will be gone. I have tried it many times, it saved me from severe anemia and its symptoms. Red beetroot has powerful ability to increase blood cells and cure various diseases connected with blood, also cancer. It's natural, powerful medication. Now I am like TIG(Trust in GOD)!
Comment from: Sue, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: July 22
I was first diagnosed as anemic when I was a child after my mother found me asleep on my bed in the afternoon. All these years later, routine blood tests are still telling me that I am anemic. I am tired all the time and have no energy or enthusiasm to do what I should. I don't crave ice but do suffer with insomnia and can't grow my finger nails as they keep breaking. Late last year I changed my general physician (GP) who sent me to a specialist so now I am waiting to see if he can find the answer.
Comment from: 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: October 28
I have been diagnosed with anemia on numerous occasions, always prescribed iron tablets, but it just returns.
Comment from: kimsue68, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: March 20
For most of my life I have had these symptoms: fatigue, shortness of breath, prickling in my fingertips, cold skin, mental fatigue, moodiness and my worst one--hair loss. I bought good iron pills from the health food store that have multiple support minerals for iron absorption, folic acid, B12, ferrous sulfate (as iron), vitamin C, and chlorophyll. I take one pill with a multivitamin and fish oil and I feel great. I sleep better, my hair and skin are better, I am more alert, and I have more endurance. Please--if anyone suffers from these symptoms, go to your doctor, get a diagnosis and get treated. The quality of your life improves immediately.
Comment from: maninder, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: March 23
I was diagnosed with anemia four years ago and take 1-2 iron pills per day. I also eat a couple of dried apricots everyday. Milk interferes with the absorption of iron, so I take my pills before I go to bed. Most days I am fine, but tend to up my iron intake just before and during my period.
Comment from: SnowGoddess, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: March 07
I have been a vegetarian since I was 8 years old with no mention ever of anemia. Three years ago I was diagnosed with fibroids after bleeding for 20 days straight and having to go to the hospital. They blew me off and said I wasn't anemic, and not to worry. After my last physical, they told me I was profoundly anemic at a 4, bordering a blood transfusion! I am so active and healthy I couldn't believe this news, I didn't have the typical symptoms, other than the dark circles under my eyes. I read through all the postings and feel better knowing I can treat this. Spinach, kale, fresh beet juice, and prenatal pills will be part of my everyday routine until my next blood test! Wish me luck!

The Torah broke with all ancient codes in limiting the power of human authority. To the regional superpowers in Egypt and Mesapotamia, rulers and priests were interfaces with the gods; they controlled the land and the people.
In the Torah, land was owned by private citizens, with every citizen given the same amount. Priests could own no land at all.
This week's sidrah mentions Jerusalem, not by name, but by alluding to it as "the place which God has chosen". This phrase is mentioned 15 times throughout Deuteronomy. Before this, the children of Israel are introduced to the changes which must take place when they enter the Land of Israel, which include laws detailed in succeeding sedarot.
With average life expectancy during the biblical period of around 30 years, it is unsurprising that the Bible seems unaware of the challenges presented by dementia. Biblical characters reach old age with their faculties undiminished; the biblical authors had little experience of progressive cognitive degeneration.
Moses stood on Mt Nebo looking at the Land of Israel and he prayed in 515 different ways, trying to find a way that would change God's mind and let him in to the Holy Land.
He begged God to let him be a bird or even a stone, anything that would let him enter into the Land of Israel.
In a competitive society, we are supposed to focus on success and strength.
History is replete with political super-entities crumbling back to constituent parts under the pressure of tribalism. Today it is the Middle East, yesterday the Balkans.
The project of Bemidbar, the forging of a nation from disparate tribes, appears to have fallen short at the finishing line.
At this point in the journey through the wilderness, the Torah tells us that the tribes of Gad and Reuben had many cattle.
What to do with Pinchas? His model of religious action in killing Zimri and Cozbi is deeply disturbing, an apparent invitation to acts of zealotry. And yet it receives not merely approval, but the reward of a "pact of friendship", a divine promise of eternal priesthood.
This week's parashah tells the amazing story of Balaam the non-Jewish prophet, who was commissioned by Balak the king of Moab to curse the Children of Israel. On his way to curse them, God sent an angel to confront him.
The Torah tells us that whereas Balaam could not see the angel, his donkey could and tried to veer out of the way. Balaam was frustrated with the donkey and hit it three times.
A major festival happens this week, ignored by many, but in ancient times it ranked as high as Shabbat. This week Rosh Chodesh, the festival of the New Noon, falls on Shabbat (and Sunday).
Therefore the haftarah this Shabbat teaches about Rosh Chodesh. (The traditional haftarah is from Isaiah 66: Liberal congregations will read a different text).

Using the Find tool
Using the Find tool
One of the most exciting organizational tools within Media Composer is the Find tool, which lets you search through the text in all the clips and sequences in your bins, and the metadata in the Timeline and monitors, and within your imported scripts. Let's take a look at how it works. So I'm going to enable my Project window here, and then I'm going to open up the Find tool by pressing Ctrl+F, or Command+F on a Mac. And we have three parts within Media Composer that we can search--again, the Clips and Sequences, Script Text, and Timeline and monitors.
Let's start over here with Clips and Sequences. So I want to search through all of the clips and sequences in all of my bins in my project. I want to find all of the clips that have Kim in them, so I'm going to just type in Kim, and I can either come over here and press Find or I can just press Enter. I do want to make sure that my Bin Index is lit up green, because that means that it has analyzed all of the text in all of the bins and it's ready to go. So green light, I can go ahead and press Enter.
So, as you see, it found fifty-one clips, and if you're following along with exercise files, you'll probably have fewer than that, because I have a few more files than you. So, it says, "Found: 51; after filtering: 51." We do want to filter that down, because this is still a lot of clips to sift through. So I'm going to add some criteria that I want it to search by, and let's find all of the Kim and Dave shots. So I'll just type in Dave and Enter. So initially, I found 51, but after filtering, we are down to 23.
Let's filter it down even further. Let's go ahead and add a criteria, and I'm going to find all of the suitcase scenes that Kim and Dave did. So I'm just going to type in suitcase. It actually updates on the fly, so I don't need even have to press Enter. We're down to 13 here. Let's go one further. If I want to find all of the clips where Kim and Dave set down their suitcases, I'm just going to type in set down, and we're down to four. So, much more manageable, and if I wanted to load any one of these clips, I just have to double-click on it.
You'll notice that the clip comes forward in the bin and it's highlighted, and in the source monitor, we see the clip loaded right here. So it's ready to go. As you can see, this is a really powerful tool. We can search through all of the bins; they don't have to be open; it just knows exactly where those clips are. I'm going to pop on over here to Script Text. And I want to talk just a little bit about scripts. You can bring scripts into Media Composer. Now, they can be narrative scripts, they can be transcripts from documentary interviews. And I happen to have a transcript from Kim's interview.
I just went through and I transcribed the interview before bringing it into Media Composer. And we'll talk about how to import scripts in a future movie, but just realize that that's here in Media Composer. So let's go ahead and search through that script, and it can be this script, and if I have multiple scripts, it will search across all of them. Let's search for the moments when Kim refers to vintage clothing. So I'll just go ahead and type in vintage clothing, hit Enter, and as you see, it found six instances where she said vintage clothing. And I can just double-click here, and it brings the script up and I can kind of see the context of what she's saying at that point in time.
So again, a very handy tool, searching through scripts. Let's just move on to Timeline and monitors. And this searches through all of the text in the monitors, as well as the metadata text within my Timeline. Now, I do want to make sure that Timeline text is checked as well, so it searches through that. One last thing I need to do is to actually select my Timeline so that it knows to search through my sequence and not my source clip. I'll do that by pressing Ctrl+0, or Command+0 on a Mac.
All right, and I'll come back into my Find window and I'll type in dip and click on Find. Great! So let's go ahead and take a look at my Timeline. I'm going to activate it by pressing Ctrl+0 or Command+0, and as you see, the position indicator went to this clip right here, and if I zoom in--again, that's mapped to my up arrow-- you can see that this is the Swing dance Dave dip shot. So it brought me to the exact right place. And you can imagine that this is a very helpful tool, especially when you have a sequence that is a half-an-hour or an hour long.
So, I'm just going to bring my Find tool back to the forefront by pressing Ctrl+F or Command+F, and I'm going to go ahead and close it out. So, as you can see, the Find tool is a tremendous organizational time-saver, allowing you to search through the text of your clips in your bins, as well as the metadata in your Timeline and monitors, and imported scripts.

All Rise...
Judge Brett Cullum has a special (and bizarre) relationship with Gwyneth Paltrow.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Bounce (Blu-ray) (published April 2nd, 2012), Emma (1996) (published October 23rd, 1999), Emma (2009) (published February 9th, 2010), The Romance Collection: Special Edition (published May 14th, 2008), Shakespeare in Love (Blu-ray) (published February 11th, 2012), Shakespeare in Love: Collector's Series (published March 8th, 2001), and View From The Top (published September 30th, 2003) are also available.
The Charge
The exquisite horror of Gwyneth Paltrow!
The Case
She is the stuff nightmares are made of and I know this firsthand. Back a few years ago I quit smoking out of concern for my health and longevity. My doctor told me that I might have very vivid dreams, and I thought to myself, "That might be nice!" What could be wrong with a dose of realism to my slumber? Little did I know that for at least three months I was tortured by a very real, very visceral image of Gwyneth Paltrow nightly tempting me with cigarettes. Not only would she smoke in front of me, but she would tease me. She would hurl names at me, and say outrageous things like "You are such a PUSSY!" At one point she started tossing lit matches at me. I would wake up screaming "You SUCK Gwyneth Paltrow!" I could smell her, and she would reek of expensive perfume and Marlboro Light 100s. This was long before Country Strong mind you!
The good people of Lionsgate have decided it is time to pack together four films starring my nightmare woman, so that I can relieve my days of torture from La Paltrow. They have chosen Shakespeare in Love for which she won an Oscar, Emma, Bounce, and View From the Top. One sublime choice, one midling one, a so-so romance, and then finally a stinker to top it all off. It is the curse of winning an Academy Award early on in your career, because the only way is down after all of that.
Given the law of diminishing returns, it is no surprise the real treasure here is Shakespeare in Love, because it is charming and accomplished. Gwyneth shines, and it is the time she had her best romantic partner in Joseph Fiennes (Elizabeth). She becomes the muse for a down-on-his-luck Shakespeare, and it all works to great grand effect.
Next up is Emma which is a light romp based on a Jane Austen novel. Paltrow plays a matchmaker who accidentally falls for a man she is trying to set up with a client. It's a pleasant period comedy, but decidedly light and fluffy. It's not all that memorable other than it was probably the role that got her the better one later.
Bounce is a bit darker with Gwyneth taking on the role of a recent widow who falls in love with a man who gave her deceased husband a ticket on a doomed plane. It was her big turn across from Ben Affleck (Daredevil), and surprisingly they didn't have that much chemistry.
View From the Top was an airline comedy that had the unfortunate luck of filming during 2001. Gwyneth plays a flight attendant here, but you can tell studio tinkering made it fall flat. The aftermath of 9/11 forced many of the bits to be altered, and the comedy got sucked right out of this one. Gwyneth is okay at comedy, but she is outshined by co-star Christina Applegate (Married With Children) who chews up every scene they are in.
All four discs are what have been out on the market for years. Each one has an okay transfer and just fine surround sound tracks. The shame is Shakespeare in Love looks the roughest in audio visual quality while View From the Top looks pretty pristine. Extras vary according to discs, and none of the supplements are new. Most come with a behind-the-scenes, and only Bounce gets a commentary.
True fans of Gwyneth Paltrow will already own these films, but thanks to packs like this now I can too. The idea is convenience, and for that Gwyneth Paltrow 4-Film Collection is a great value. Whether you love her or hate her, it's safe to say a couple of these should hit home with anybody. Of course they all make me want a cigarette really bad, and that's the truth.
The Verdict
Guilty of haunting my dreams, Gwyneth is free to fly on.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Gwyneth Paltrow 4-Film Collection a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

Rev. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., the president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, says it's "an absolute revolt against God's design" if husbands and wives purposely avoid bearing children.
On his Web site and other articles and interviews, Mohler argues that "marriage, sex and children are part of one package" and that "to deny any part of this wholeness is to reject God's intention in creation and his mandate revealed in the Bible."
In a CNN interview, the Baptist leader added, "We grow up by having children. Without that responsibility, we have a generation of perpetual adolescents just growing old."

Many people consider Sugar Ray Robinson the GOAT...
Despite the fact he fought in the 40s, an undoubtably weaker era (it would be practically impossible to match his numbers today against the better athletes).
Well here is something to think about and agree with:
We can name Sugar Ray Robinson the best, the greatest ever. We can overlook the fact he fought in the 40s. It wasn't his fault everyone else was so bad, it just was, but we overlook it...
Why can't we overlook the fact that Joe Calzaghe has few worthy elite challengers? It is almost exactly the same, both have built up terrific number against less than stella opponents. It is double standards if we overlook it in the case of Robinson, but are ultra critical about Calzaghe for it.
It wasn't Robinson's fault the opponents back then were unworthy. Just as it isn't Joe Calzaghe's fault he has no truly worthy challengers. We should overlook these unfortunalities in Joe's career, just as we do for Sugar Ray.
We should be able to place Calzaghe amongst the top ten ever, immune to critism of his resume, just as Robinson fans are can do. There is no difference when you compare their respective opponents head to head, arguably Joe with his 'zero' against solid modern opposition comes out on top.

The winner will also have their name and photograph featured on ECHL.com.
The ECHL congratulates the May Einstein of the Month, Angie Counsell of Boise, Idaho. Angie, whose favorite ECHL team is the Idaho Steelheads, was chosen at random among fans who answered May's question correctly. South Carolina Stingrays' goaltender Jason Fitzsimmons was the Most Valuable Player of the first Kelly Cup Playoffs in 1997.
The ECHL and Einstein HR thanks fans for once again participating in the Einstein of the Month contest during the 2014-15 season. Check back in October for the first question of the 2015-16 season.


text: We had a nightmare with Tuscany now. I would not recomend them at all. The villa we stayed in was shabby, nothing worked, the electrics kept on turning off. The response when we got back was appaling. They charged us 80 euros when we left for going over the amount of electricity we were supposed to use - how unbelievable! Also the MD ignored every complaint we made about the villa and sided with the owner. It even got to the point where he became rather rude to me, accusing me of all sorts that was complete rubbish. He then asked for us to pay an aditional 250 euros for damages to a sunbed, which fell apart at the seams.. when you have 2 old but working sunbeds for 10 people, what do they expect. All in all the holiday was a good one, the villa wasn't great but we made it work. The treatment I received when I came home was appaling and I would never ever recommend tuscany now as a company to anyone, even my worst enemy.
