A powerful feeling swept over Jets cornerback James Hasty before his team stepped onto the frozen field today to play the Bills here at Rich Stadium.
He reflected on the anguish and helplessness that the team had felt during the last week with Dennis Byrd lying in a bed at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, his legs paralyzed after he broke his neck in the game against Kansas City last Sunday. Hasty thought about the Jets' recent history against Buffalo -- 10 straight losses dating to 1987 -- and the fact that the Jets had lost four starters and were considerable underdogs this afternoon. And the feeling got stronger.
Hasty talked to Jets linebacker Kyle Clifton about his feeling, about faith and about destiny.
"I told Kyle that it was in God's plan for us to win today," Hasty said. "No matter what they did, we were going to win this game. It was destiny."
Drawing strength from the faith that Byrd had displayed, and lifted by the news Saturday that Byrd had exhibited some voluntary movement in his legs, the Jets pulled out an improbable 24-17 victory over the Bills to cap what had probably been the most anguished week in the team's history.
When strong safety Brian Washington intercepted a pass by Bills quarterback Jim Kelly and zigzagged 23 yards through the outstretched arms of Buffalo players to score the game-winning touchdown with 1 minute 41 seconds to play, it did seem as if some kind of divine destiny was working for the Jets.Continue reading the main story
As Washington lay on the frozen turf in the end zone underneath a pile of his teammates, cuddling the football, his mind flashed to Byrd at the hospital.
"When I fell down in the end zone, I just said, 'Yes!' " Washington recalled. "In reflection, we look at Dennis and we look at what happened. He wants us to be strong, because he is very strong. We definitely drew electricity from him in this game today."
Byrd, who underwent surgery last Wednesday, watched the game from his hospital room, surrounded by his wife, Angela, and his parents. On Saturday, he told the Jets' coach, Bruce Coslet, to tell the team that he would be watching them and pulling for them. With that thought in the back of their minds, and with a pre-game pep talk from the Jets' owner, Leon Hess, fresh in their ears, the Jets were soaring with inspiration when they took the field.
"It was all in here," Jets defensive tackle Mario Johnson said, pointing to his chest. "It was nothing but heart. You tried to keep your emotions in control, but we were all whacked out. I knew Dennis was watching and I knew if I messed up, I couldn't live with myself and I knew Dennis couldn't live with it. I was out there playing for Dennis." Game Ball to Byrd
After the game, approximately 20 Jets players and coaches squeezed into a room off the visitors' locker room to speak to Byrd in a conference telephone call.
Coslet officially awarded Byrd the game ball during the call. The players -- who had drawn strength from Byrd's upbeat attitude all week, and who wore the ichthus, the Christian fish symbol, on their helmets with his jersey number as a representation of his faith -- were overjoyed to talk to him after the victory.
"I just told him that I was happy that we won, but I was sad that he wasn't here with us," Hasty said. "He said he was here. I have to believe that Dennis's spirit was here, but it wasn't the same as him being physically here. Dennis was really happy for us. You couldn't ask for a better situation than what happened today."
It seemed somehow fitting that the Jets' defense, victimized so often by fourth-quarter comebacks by Kelly and the Bills' offense, would provide the margin of victory this afternoon for the Jets (4-9).
"I'm sure when times got tough, the defense was thinking about Dennis," said Jets quarterback Browning Nagle, who completed 14 of 22 passes for 176 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. "Dennis will never give up and that's the way the defense played today. It was special."
The Jets scored on their opening drive, taking a 3-0 lead on a 42-yard field goal by kicker Cary Blanchard 4:56 into the game. Buffalo answered with a 27-yard field goal by Steve Christie with 7:56 to play in the first quarter.
It looked as if Buffalo was going to run over the Jets when they went on a 14-play, 84-yard drive in the second quarter that consumed 7:32 and was capped by a 6-yard touchdown run by running back Kenneth Davis.
The Bills led, 10-3, at halftime. But the Jets tied the score on Brad Baxter's 1-yard run midway through the third quarter, then took a 17-10 lead on a 9-yard run by Baxter with 1:43 to go in the quarter.
The Bills came back, evening the score at 17-17 on a 1-yard touchdown reception by tight end Pete Metzelaars early in the fourth quarter. That seemingly set the stage for another heartbreaking loss for New York against the Bills. But the Jets would not fold this time.
When the Bills got the ball at their own 19 with 1:53 to play, the Jets braced themselves for a repeat of what happened to them in the last meeting between the team on Oct. 26. In that game, the Jets took the lead with 1:51 to play and the Bills got the ball back with 1:42 to play. Kelly's 12-yard pass to running back Thurman Thomas with 51 seconds to play gave the Bills that game. But the Jets weren't thinking repeat. They were thinking about Byrd.
"I knew we had to go back out there and hold them again," Hasty said of going back on defense and holding the Bills back. "But even then, I just felt like it was our turn."
On second-and-10 at the Buffalo 18, Kelly looked straight at receiver James Lofton, but didn't see Washington lurking off to the left. Washington stepped in front of the soft pass at the 23 and headed for the end zone.
"You see Brian running in for the touchdown and all the visions of Jim Kelly throwing for a touchdown and them taking the victory home kind of faded away," said Jets defensive lineman Paul Frase.
That was one of the few times during the game that Frase let his thoughts stray far from Byrd, his friend and teammate.
"I thought about him throughout the game," Frase said. "Whenever I thought about him, I lifted Dennis up to God. I pray for him and I pray for God to touch his body and touch him with a miracle." EXTRA POINTS
The Jets lost another starter to injury in the game against the Bills. Free safety LONNIE YOUNG injured his right knee in the third quarter after picking up a fumble by Bills running back KENNETH DAVIS and being tackled by Bills quarterback JIM KELLY. Young, who was standing outside the Jets' locker room before the end of the game on crutches with a brace extending the length of his right leg, said he will have a magnetic resonance imaging scan on his knee on Monday, but said it appeared likely that he will face some form of reconstructive surgery. . . . The loss dropped the Bills to 9-4.Continue reading the main story

Backcountry campsite 2S1 on Lower Slough Creek
Contrary to popular belief, Yellowstone National Park is not a drive through wildlife safari or petting zoo. The animals will bite, gore and tear you to shreds if you pet them while taking a selfie.
I've spent 2 summers working at Canyon Lodge and Lake Lodge engaging with hundreds of visitors per day. I haven't seen it all, but I've seen a lot. I've seen a father put his 2 year old on the back of a bison laying down for a photo op, cars with all four doors open stopped in the middle of the road with the passengers all taking pictures of the mamma bear and cubs 20 ft away, tourists trying to pet the newborn elk with the mother charging towards them, visitors doing handstands off trail on the edge of the very unstable Grand Canyon, families who yell at me…

Statin Users Gain Weight
Statin Users Gain Weight
Patients who take cholesterol-lowering drugs gain more weight and eat more fat and calories, according to a new study published by the American Medical Association.
Researchers analyzed the data of 27,886 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. For those placed on statins, calorie intake increased 9.6 percent and fat intake increased 14.4 percent over the course of ten years; those who did not take cholesterol-lowering medications had no significant changes in calorie or fat intake.
Those on the medications also gained more weight, compared with those not on medications. The authors conclude that patients have adopted a false sense of security, and dietary intake needs greater emphasis.
Sugiyama T, Tsugawa Y, Tseng C, Kobayashi Y, Shapiro MF. Different time trends of caloric and fat intake between statin users and nonusers among US adults: gluttony in the time of statins? JAMA Intern Med. Published online April 24, 2014.

PITTSBURGH, January 25, 2002 — Fertility drugs do not put women at a higher than average risk of ovarian cancer, according to the largest analysis to date on the topic, conducted by University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health (GSPH) researchers and published in the Feb. 1 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology.
"For more than a decade, controversy has surrounded the relationships among infertility, fertility drug use and the risk of ovarian cancer," said Roberta Ness, M.D., M.P.H. , associate professor of epidemiology at GSPH and principal investigator on the study. "This analysis helps put to rest the questions that have been troubling physicians and the women who endure arduous fertility treatments."
While no association was found between ovarian cancer and fertility drugs, the study does point out a link between ovarian cancer and certain specific causes of infertility -- namely, endometriosis and "unknown" reasons for infertility. The study suggests that some women who receive fertility treatments develop ovarian cancer because of underlying conditions that cause infertility, not because of the treatments themselves.
Investigators collected interview data on infertility and fertility drug use from eight case-control studies conducted between 1989 and 1999 in the United States, Denmark, Canada and Australia, including 5,207 women with ovarian cancer, and 7,705 women without ovarian cancer. In the study, infertility was signaled by prolonged unsuccessful episodes of trying to conceive, and by seeking medical help in conceiving.
Results showed that women who spent more than five years trying to conceive were at a 2.7-fold higher risk for ovarian cancer than those who tried for less than one year. Women who had used fertility drugs were not more likely to develop ovarian cancer than those who had never used fertility drugs. The risk of ovarian cancer dropped with each pregnancy.
Also, the infertile women who were most likely to develop ovarian cancer were those whose infertility resulted from endometriosis or from "unknown" causes.
Endometriosis is a condition in which cells from the uterine lining, or endometrium, migrate to various sites throughout the pelvis and attach to other organs, causing inflammation and pain, as well as infertility. In the newly published paper, Dr. Ness suggests that the local inflammation that is characteristic of endometriosis may play a role in ovarian cancer. Conversely, researchers are as yet unsure how to characterize "unknown" causes of infertility.
"We are actively working to better understand what are now unknown causes of infertility," said Dr. Ness. "Understanding this better will give us a window into the biology behind ovarian cancer and it will help to define the women in this high-risk group."
Researchers found that ovarian cancer was not associated with the following causes of infertility: ovulation or menstrual problems, ovarian cysts, blocked tubes, uterine development problems or cervical mucous and/or inflamed cervix.
Women who took fertility drugs but never became pregnant were more likely to have non-invasive tumors, according to the study, but the researchers suggest that more tumors were found among these women because they were under intense medical scrutiny while undergoing fertility treatment.

Loud Lady of the Month :: Interview with Shannon Bradford, Erotic Romance Writer
1. Please start by telling us a little bit about yourself, your blog and your businesses!
My name is Shannon, I'm an Ohio girl who's been living abroad for the past couple years throughout various countries in South America. I work for a non-profit by day, and blog/write furiously in the night hours. I blog for the fun of it at The Astromaid Chronicles, and the business side of my writing is found under my pen name, where I write all things romance!
2. Can you tell us what your favorite things are about your part of the world, and what we can expect if we visit you someday?
I'll have to cheat and give two answers for this. I was living in Peru most recently for just about a year, and half of that time was spent in the Sacred Valley. It was one of the most magical and captivating places I've seen in the whole world, a true high-altitude heaven with landscapes so intensely gorgeous that looking at them felt surreal.
Visiting any part of Peru is magical, but in the Sacred Valley you can expect lots of Incan ruins, alpaca burgers (a nice, lean meat!), and lots of beautifully-colored CORN. I left Peru in May, though, and my current location is Ohio (where I'll be for a bit longer!). So if you come visit me here, you can expect plenty of Midwest frivolity, and maybe even a Booze Cruise to Kelley's Island. And, you know, we can go check out the garden I dug at my dad's house.
3. As a sexy romance writer, do you have any tips for bloggers? What are your fave writing tools and tricks?
Sometimes I think that blogging for genre fiction and blogging for the non-fiction world are two separate beasts. In the romance world, the main feature is the final product: the novel. The blog is a critical tool to connect with established readers in terms of updates and general goings-on, but it's also a way to find new readers via content. In the regular blogging world, the blog is your only content—or perhaps it's the main draw in addition to informational eBooks that might be available on the side. So the function of the blog differs a bit between the two worlds.
Though the audience differs and some of the rules change, they're not actually all that different. At the end of the day, the only "trick", which is less of a trick and more of just an organic approach, is to connect with your readers. I try to do this via my novels and then via my romance blog, the same way I try to do this on my for-fun blog. If nobody's emotionally engaging on some level, there is no interest and there are no readers. It's as simple as that. Write content that comes from your heart—whether it be novels or blog posts—and the rest will take care of itself. It's intuitive, but easy to overlook or even forget. For me, it's a work in progress.
4. What are your other hobbies and passions outside of blogging?
Besides blogging and writing my face off, I also practice Ashtanga yoga anywhere from 3 to 5 times per week. I love to garden, and my partner and I love red wine, so we try to go to tastings or host fun dinners for old and new friends. And, of course, traveling! I've been to 25 countries, and my To-Travel list just seems to get longer and longer. I'd like to visit the American West sometime soon…and plan a winter trip to Switzerland…and also go back to India for 3 months or more…ahh, I want to do all the trips!
5. What are your future plans in business and in life?
As for my blogging and writing, I'd like to see those areas continue to grow…all the way to best-seller status! When I receive my first unsolicited piece of fan mail on a book I've written, I'll be able to die happy. Outside of the writing arena, I have a lot of ideas circulating, but most lack financial investment. My partner and I want to open a hostel in Central America within the next couple years, and I'd like to purchase some property in my hometown to then develop into a vacation rental. We also throw around some pretty grand business ideas…like starting a vineyard in Argentina. Who knows what we'll get into?
6. What's your favorite thing about the internet world? What's your biggest challenge?
The biggest challenge with being an author (particularly romance) is the amount of saturation in the market. I feel this in the blogging world to some extent, but it's nothing compared to trying to launch a brand new author platform in an arena that is literally inundated with authors of all stripes trying to be heard. It makes starting out a real challenge—it's not uncommon for first-time authors to get discouraged and abandon their craft. Social media tends to get bombarded with people hawking books relentlessly; mostly free or rock-bottom prices in an effort to attract attention, which is a difficult task in the crowded sea of genre romance. When I first started publishing romance novels, it was a big turn-off. It just seemed like a lot of people screaming at the top of their lungs to be heard, without realizing the entire audience was deaf.
Despite this, what I love about the internet is that it's still possible to find your tribe. I remember using the internet back in the day when I could go into whatever chatroom on AOL and find a new best friend in the course of the evening. I would never go into a chat room these days, but finding your people is still possible, and that's something I really cherish. I fucking love the internet, I'm not gonna lie. It's a double-edged sword though, at times.
7. What's your personal philosophy or belief system?
Great question! I'll have to answer this more in depth when we finally meet, over a glass of red wine…but in summation, I think that it's up to us to make what we want out of life. Our attitudes, thoughts, and energy form a startling amount of our reality. We can truly achieve what we want, but this requires a brutal (yet compassionate) honesty with ourselves about what we're willing to do in order to achieve these things. Priorities help shape your life, and whatever they are, it's okay—there's no rigid "right way" to do this existence thing. We're not victims of our lives, but rather the creators. We are all so powerful!
8. What do you love most about being part of the Loud Ladies community?
All the other inspiring women! I love the wide variety of blogs and businesses that each lady brings to the table. It's a constant inspiration, and a much-needed frequent reminder that I can take my own plans higher and higher. Plus, I have a network and support system—quite a talented group of ladies, I must say!
9. What's the most important lesson you've ever learned in life?
This goes hand in hand with #7. "Change your thoughts, change your life." When these words found me—when I was really able to get the meaning of them—my life changed immediately.
10. What song do we all need to listen to... right now!?
"Gracias a la vida" by Mercedes Sosa. This is a chillingly beautiful song, where the singer talks about all the things she's thankful for in life—from her eyeballs all the way down to her feet. If you don't speak Spanish, look up the translation after you've listened to it. Daily gratitude is a must—sometimes I'll start my day with this song!

Besides their writings on clay, the Chaldaeans were in the habit, from very early times, of engraving inscriptions on gems. The signet cylinder of a very ancient king exhibits that archaic formation of letters which has been already noted as appearing upon some of the earliest bricks. [PLATE VII., Fig. 3.] That it belongs to the same period is evident, not only from the resemblance of the literal type, but from the fact that the same king's name appears upon both. This signet inscription—so far as it has been hitherto deciphered—is read as follows:—"The signet of Urukh, the pious chief, king of Ur, . . . . High-Priest (?) of . . . . Niffer." Another similar relic, belonging to a son of this monarch, has the inscription, "To the manifestation of Nergal, king of Bit-Zida, of Zurgulla, for the saving of the life of Ilgi, the powerful hero, the king of Ur, . . . . son of Urukh . . . . May his name be preserved." A third signet, which belongs to a later king in the series, bears the following legend: "—sin, the powerful chief, the king of Ur, the king of the Kiprat-arbat (or four races) . . . . his seal." The cylinders, however, of this period are more usually without inscriptions, being often plain, and often engraved with figures, but without a legend.
"Chaldaei cognitione astrorum sollertiaque ingeniorum antecellunt." Cic. de Div. i. 41.
Among the arts which the first Ethiopic settlers on the shores of the Persian Gulf either brought with them from their former homes, or very early invented in their new abode, must undoubtedly have been the two whereby they were especially characterized in the time of their greatest power—architecture and agriculture. Chaldaea is not a country disposing men to nomadic habits. The productive powers of the soil would at once obtrude themselves on the notice of the new comers, and would tempt to cultivation and permanency of residence. If the immigrants came by sea, and settled first in the tract immediately bordering upon the gulf, as seems to have been the notion of Berosus, their earliest abodes may have

Audience:Instagram Shoppers & Businesses
Intro: People are using Instagram for variety of reasons, one if which is Shopping. Instagram, as a platform, does not fully support Shoppers nor Businesses as many features lack for both sides. oneGram tries to fill this gap by providing a customized Instagram app that focuses on shopping experience.
Challenge: oneGram is an Instagram client. Meaning, it uses all Instagram capabilities and data but with some added features. The design challenge was that oneGram needs to highlight all the new features not available in Instagram while maintaining similar User Experience to Instagram to make its users feeling 'home' when using OneGram. Waqood design team had also to ensure oneGram identity is well preserved inside the app as being connected with such strong brand as Instagram.
Result: Waqood design team replaced the bottom tab bar in Instagram app with a top tab barWaqood design team has cleverly overcome the challenge by the following:
- Adapting Instagram timeline style: Since Instagram most used screen is the Timeline screen, the screen style was adapted in oneGram to have a similar User Experience and hence increase app usability measurements.
- Maintaining Android UX guidelines: As we believe that each apps should adapt the platform it operates on, we have applied all UX guidelines from upper the Tab bar to the navigation style.
- Preserving oneGram brand: Waqood has applied the brand colors palette to the app along with the brand font type. The icons shape used in the app has also been designed to serve the brand identity.

Graduates are capable of working on a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary basis, and know how to find their niche in the rapid and constantly changing professional field.
The programmes at the School of Dance are small in size. As much as possible, we aim to link the individually-oriented education to practice. Developing and enforcing your own artistry and cultural identity is a central point in all ArtEZ School of Dance study programmes. Much attention is given to injury prevention, knowledge of your own performance abilities and the development of your personal style as a dancer, choreographer and dance lecturer. Also, much emphasis is placed on building a good technical foundation: an important tool for dancers to further develop themselves as artists.
The roots of the ArtEZ School of Dance can be traced back to Winja Marova, who set up a private dance school in Arnhem before World War II. Audrey Hepburn was one of the pupils. The Arnhemse Dansacademie (Arnhem School of Dance) subsequently acquired official status in 1968. By the 1980s, it had become a part of the Arnhem University of the Arts, later ArtEZ. Since 2004, the School of Dance has been housed in the Theatrium, the splendid, underground building designed by the architect Hubert Jan Henket. The premises are connected to the Rietveld building.
The School initially had a classical bias. When Hlíf Svavarsdóttir took over in 1991, slowly but surely it was transformed into a dance institute that specialised in the contemporary field. In 2000, the School merged with the EDDC: the European Dance Development Centre. From various viewpoints, the programme became richer, and the education developed further. With the arrival of Director Gaby Allard in 2006, the course became more focused on the demanding contemporary field with a new innovative and coherent curriculum in 2009.
The School of Dance acts as a pioneer in the innovation of dance education. The education is offered entirely on a period basis. Education is divided into periods, which means that the curriculum takes into account the specific physical and mental development rate of the dancer's body. In addition, traditional curriculum components are linked to supplementary techniques within the programme to varying degrees. This form of dance education considerably reduces injuries, and contributes to the development of excellent dancers and lecturers with a great deal of knowledge regarding self-regulation and career extension.
ArtEZ School of Dance works closely together with Papendal Medical Sport Centre (SMCP). In addition, the School of Dance now has an Associate Professor of Health, Matthew Wyon, who conducts research and turns the research data into workable methods for providing further innovation for the dance education at ArtEZ.

For a brief moment last year, the exchange-traded fund held in greatest value by investors had nothing to do with the S&P 500 index. Or stocks of publicly traded companies of any sort.
Instead, it was an ETF that took stock in a metal: gold.
The fund was SPDR Gold Shares from State Street Global Advisors, the firm that kickstarted the entire $1 trillion ETF industry with the 1993 launch of the SPDR S&P 500, which did, in fact, have as its base holdings of stocks in that widely watched and used index.
But on Aug. 18, 2011, SPDR Gold Shares were worth more, in toto, than all shares held in the SPDR S&P 500, long the undisputed leader in overall size.
At that moment, though, shares of stocks in public companies were reeling as were the values of SPDR S&P 500. That was due to the first-ever downgrade of U.S. debt by a major ratings agency, on Aug. 5, and nervousness over the U.S. deficit, debt and economy.
At the same time, the threat of a European sovereign debt collapse sent investors looking for a safe haven. For thousands of years, that has been gold.
With gold prices up and stock prices down, $76.7 billion was held in GLD shares and $74.4 billion in SPY shares on Aug. 19. The moment didn't last. Four trading days later, SPY was back on top.
The New Gold Standard. In a time of currency trouble and low interest rates, gold can give portfolios some luster.
A Golden Headache. Investors who benefit from rising gold prices may find unexpected pitfalls in the tax code.
But the moment showed just how broadly accepted investing in a share of a fund that in turn holds bullion has become.
Indeed, says Kevin Quigg, global head of ETF strategy and consulting holding at State Street, gold is on the verge of becoming a "set piece of asset allocation'' in the minds of institutions.
Its slice of the investing pie in a diversified set of holdings, next to stocks and bonds and other alternatives? Somewhere between 3% and 5%.
Gold, in the form of shares in an exchange-traded fund such as GLD, "is increasingly becoming part of a diversified investment portfolio,'' said Greg King, head of Exchange Traded Products at Credit Suisse.
The 3% to 5% slice?
It's been higher. When inflation was roaring in double digits in the late '70s and early '80s, some institutions kept as much as 20% of their holdings in gold, typically in bars or other physical forms back then.
In many investing quarters, in the past, gold also has been viewed almost interchangeably with other commodities, from oil to corn to coffee to copper, by many institutions.
But now, Quigg contends, it's becoming regarded as a separate asset class, almost if by groundswell. A store of value. A hedge against risk. A bet on the metal itself. A hedge against inflation. "It's all of those things,'' he said.
GLD, for many institutions and individuals, has been better than holding gold because it's quicker to buy and sell as needed, and no special housing is required.
For instance, State Street Global Advisors holds 40.3 million ounces or 1,254 tons of gold in its vault. And it sells shares in the GLD fund at the rate of one-tenth of an ounce a share.
In practicality, the "index" for the fund is the price of gold and rises or falls accordingly.
And even though gold has fallen from its record high of $1,895 an ounce in early September, the returns have been far better than stocks for far longer.
Since inception of the fund in November 2004, the average annual return has been 18.72%. By comparison, the S&P 500 index has risen from 1,211.92 on the last trading day of 2004 to 1,257.60 on the last day of 2011. That's a return of 3.7% over seven years, equivalent to 0.5% a year.
Investors were so enthusiastic about the chance to invest in gold through the indirect mechanism of ETF shares that State Street pulled in $1 billion to GLD in its first three days of operation.
And even with a pullback, as European Union nations moved toward approving the European Stability Mechanism rescue fund, the 420.3 million shares in the fund were worth a total of $70.5 billion at the end of trading on Jan. 27.
The fund is not alone in capitalizing on gold. Nor is it the lowest cost fund. The expense ratio for GLD is 0.40% of assets over the course of a year. By contrast, the second largest fund, BlackRock's iShares Gold Trust, has an expense ratio of 0.25%, King notes. It has total assets of about $9.7 billion.
Partly because of the rise of ETFs, demand for gold bullion is increasing. In the third quarter of 2011, demand for gold increased 6% from the same period a year earlier. Demand was 1,054 tons, worth $57.7 billion.
And the reason for the growth? Investors, according to the World Gold Council. "A strong rise in investment demand drove the growth in overall demand, as investors across the globe sought wealth preservation, portfolio diversification and strong returns,'' it said.
In that quarter, in fact, demand for gold from investors snuck past demand from jewelers, the long-time source of greatest and most consistent demand. Demand from the jewelry market fell 10%, year over year, to 465.6 tons. Demand from the investment market was 468.1 tons. Demand from the technology industry remained far behind at 120.2 tons.
Most notably, demand for ETFs and similar products led to demand for 77.6 tons — 58% above the previous year.
SPDR Gold Shares is one of the top 10 largest holders of gold in the world, behind France and ahead of China. But that doesn't mean investors actually hold gold.
Shares in an ETF such as GLD are more like mortgage-backed securities than mutual fund shares or listed stocks, says investment advisor Catherine Austin Fitts, a former managing director at Dillon Read & Co.
What the investor holds, she says, is an undivided interest in the underlying asset, not an equity interest in an entity. There is no deposit insurance, she notes, and, in her strongest critique, she says, GLD is a vehicle "by which investors provide the banking community with the resources to control and manipulate the precious metals market without adequate compensation.''
Gold, the metal, typically runs in cycles, of course. Right now, it's on a 10-year tear, the longest it has experienced. But, if world economies right themselves, the price could fall dramatically, spurring a downward spiral.
That's because "as the price of gold falls and investors flee GLD and other gold ETFs, these ETFs will have to drop physical holdings,'' says Justin Dove, executive editor of Investment U, a financial website.
"Considering GLD has more gold than China, this could easily flood the market. Depending on the scale of the drop in gold prices and the evacuation from GLD, things could get really ugly, really fast,'' he contends.

The Saturn V rocket was developed in the 1960s as part of America's goal to land a man on the moon. It was determined the job would be best accomplished by three men. In order to send them and their equipment a huge rocket of incredible power was necessary in order to escape the pull of Earth's gravity. Standing 363 feet tall and weighing approximately 6.7 million pounds at launch, the Saturn V developed 7.5 million pounds of thrust which initiated the acceleration to speeds of approximately 24,000 MPH required to go to the moon. Upon their return, the three astronauts were traveling at speeds of approximately 25,000 MPH when they re-entered Earth's atmosphere. Even 40 years later the Saturn V is still the most incredible machine to ever fly.

text: Hi. Can anybody tell me how does the rv042 determine the outage of the primary WAN link? I do not own the rv042 yet but from the manual I can see that You only can set which port is primary. No ping possibility etc. Asked the Linksys tech chat or whatever, well... Anyway, how does rv042 understand that it should fail over to the backup link when I just want to use the unit for connecting to 2 ISPs, no tunnels and one ISP as primary, the other for backup when the primary fails. Maybe there's more functionality in the 1.3.6 release? BR, Kalev

The management of Laurel and Pimlico race courses was involved deeply in talks involving intertrack wagering last week.
The track operators are asking for more help from members of the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association concerning the current ITW between Laurel and Pimlico.
Nowadays, the horsemen (owners and trainers) give up $1,000 per day toward expenses of having the video signal sent to Pimlico so customers there can bet on live races run at Laurel.

GOFFSTOWN, N.H. – They say winning is the only thing, but how you win matters when it comes to the New Hampshire Primary.
There is a lot of lazy talk in the world of pundits about how many "tickets" there are out of New Hampshire this year on the Republican side. Since the Democratic race is only two people they're not counting tickets, but for the GOP side the main priority now is winnowing their field of candidates.
Republican voters have been like shoppers in a grocery store, overwhelmed by the choices in the cereal aisle. This one has too much sugar. That one is too dry. The other one is bland. When the options seem limitless we are always quick to find fault with the choices.
In that way, Republican voters have been immobilized by the tyranny of multiplicity.
As has been the case in every recent cycle, the priority for Republicans is to come to as quick a conclusion as possible with the least amount of damage inflicted to the eventual nominee. The members of the red team failed in that goal in the past two cycles. But this year, New Hampshire might give the party a chance to do just that.
So with all this talk about "tickets out of New Hampshire" always remember that each candidate has a specific threshold to meet in order to advance to South Carolina on Feb. 20 and beyond.
With those high-stakes in mind, let's look at what each of the viable candidates needs to do today in order to keep on moving.
[What are the three keys to winning in New Hampshire? Chris Stirewalt has the answer in 60 seconds. WATCH HERE.]
Donald Trump -The New Hampshire frontrunner in polls since the beginning of August, Trump stands atop a 17-point lead in the Real Clear Politics average for the Granite State. Even if Trump were to underperform here as he did in Iowa – a 5-point slip – it would still leave him 12-points ahead of his closest competitor. That wouldn't be the kind of dominance shown by the two prior GOP nominees, John McCain and Mitt Romney who won the states by margins of 54 points and 41 points respectively. But it would be enough to get Trump back on track following his Iowa disappointment.
What Trump should be worried about here isn't a loss but rather a larger shortfall than he saw in Iowa last week. In Iowa, Trump did worse than expected but his rivals did slightly better. But if there is greater evidence that Trump's supporters don't show up to vote or that he actually drives up support for other candidates, this could be start of a long, painful season for the celebrity billionaire.
So while margin of victory matters, the real key for Trump is clearing the 25-percent mark that would be consistent with his Iowa underperformance. If he falls short of that threshold it would mean that Trump's coalition isn't a coalition after all.
But if Trump wins here by 10 points or more and with more than a quarter of the vote, he will have fully reclaimed his frontrunner status.
Marco Rubio - The Floridian would certainly rather have not endured his Saturday night suplex from Chris Christie. But there is a silver lining: If he had been untouched in the debate, the expectations for Rubio today would have been entering dangerous territory. Sans suplex, Rubio would be facing a required second-place finish to avoid an embarrassment.
But the last round of polling actually showed Rubio still rising. Perhaps his debate brain freeze slowed his roll, but there's no evidence of freefall or even reversal here. If Rubio does finish second, he can count on a "comeback kid" narrative. But if he finishes third or perhaps even fourth it will not be debilitating. But that depends on who is ahead of him in the stack.
The Iowa bronze winner can afford to finish behind Trump or even Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who has a one-state campaign focused on New Hampshire. Kasich is already discounted in the process. Heck, Rubio could fall behind Sen. Ted Cruz if Cruz pulls a stunner.
The only real imperative for Rubio is to not fall behind former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. That would scramble Rubio's chance to unite the traditional GOP coalition and start duking it out with Cruz and Trump for South Carolina. Bush may not have a path to the GOP nomination, but he and his group have enough money to take Rubio out of the money.
John Kasich - The Ohio governor could have run as a conservative, but he made a decision long ago to play up his Huntsmanian qualities as a liberal Republican with trans-partisan tendencies. Democratic-leaning independents in New Hampshire and in the political press eat that stuff up.
Kasich has yo-yoed in the polls here, some have shown him vaulting to second place by huge margins, but Real Clear Politics' average has him at third place with 13.5 percent of the vote. But Kasich is also-ran nationally and Republican voters obviously resent his Democratic dabbling.
Lacking a plausible path to the nomination, it's not clear what a second-place finish would do for Kasich. For him to really remake the race here, Kasich would need to pull off a super stunner and win here. But as John McCain learned in 2000, even that probably wouldn't be enough given power of the South in early GOP primaries.
Ted Cruz - The Texas senator doesn't draw a lot of water up here in New England. And that's probably okay with him. Cruz booked his ticket out of New Hampshire in Des Moines. He's got a win under his belt, big money and a great organization in the Southern states just ahead, starting with South Carolina.
Cruz is running a respectable fourth in the RCP average and doesn't need to do any better than that in order to shift southward with vigor. And if Cruz could somehow slip into third place it would give him quite a boost.
But Cruz did take some lumps here over his campaign's sharp elbows against the gentle Ben Carson in the Iowa caucuses. That combined with pro-lifers rallying around Sen. Marco Rubio could cost Cruz here. There's almost nothing that could happen here to take Cruz out of contention, but he would surely rather have a pleasant surprise than be a cellar dweller here.
Jeb Bush - The presidential bid of the former frontunner could end tonight. What would have been an impossible thought a year ago, Bush is facing elimination in the first primary.
Bush is running fifth both nationally and in New Hampshire and needs to do substantially better than that tonight to keep on keeping on. And the presence of his family and longtime supporters in New Hampshire in the past week suggests that the family knows that the end is nigh.
Bush can only continue if he finishes third or very close to whoever does. If Bush does so he can use his remaining funds to kill Rubio and open the way to a Trump nomination. And in that way, Bush really needs a big surprise showing to make the case to a party that has spurned him that he could really make things happen. Otherwise, pressure will mount for his departure.
Chris Christie - New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has long pegged New Hampshire has his path to victory. Donning a pin of the Granite State next to his home of New Jersey, Christie hasn't quite caught the fire he hoped, mostly staying in the single digits according to the Real Clear Politics average in the state where he currently sits at approximately 6 percent. He will have to have a shocking result here in the Granite State in order to have any path forward, but his path would require a refiguring of the Republican Party that is about as unlikely as him being the nominee.
[Watch Fox: N.H. primary night special coverage begins tonight at 7p.m. ET.]
Live Free or Die is the state motto of New Hampshire, and many take pride in the phrase today as a symbol of the state's rebel spirit against big government and taxation. But how exactly did the Granite State become associated with the famous phrase? N.H. Tour Guide tells: "The phrase was taken from a toast on July 31, 1809 which was written by General John Stark, a famous New Hampshire soldier of the American Revolutionary War. General John Stark was invited to an anniversary reunion for the battle of Bennington but he became ill just prior to the reunion and could not attend. In his absence, he sent his toast in a note. Part of that toast read 'Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils.'"

Fox News' Senior Political Correspondent, Mike Emanuel, and The Hill's, A.B. Stoddard, discuss whether neighboring Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., will actually pull out a win here in the Granite State, and if he does, does it matter? The panel weighs in on the Democratic battle and whether it will bubble over today. But the GOP side is the one to watch, and the panel says that there are only four clear tickets out of New Hampshire. Who are they and what does that mean for folks looking for a miracle win? The panel gives their take to Chris Stirewalt. WATCH HERE.
[Keep up with the incoming results from the N.H. Primary throughout the day here.]
NH.GOV: "Early historians record that in 1623, under the authority of an English land-grant, Captain John Mason, in conjunction with several others, sent David Thomson, a Scotsman, and Edward and Thomas Hilton, fish-merchants of London, with a number of other people in two divisions to establish a fishing colony in what is now New Hampshire, at the mouth of the Piscataqua River…Thus the settlement of New Hampshire did not happen because those who came here were persecuted out of England. The occasion, which is one of the great events in the annals of the English people, was one planned with much care and earnestness by the English crown and the English parliament. Here James the first began a colonization project which not only provided ships and provisions, but free land bestowed with but one important condition, that it remain always subject to English sovereignty. So it remained until the 'War of the Revolution.' Smith first named it 'North Virginia' but King James later revised this into 'New England.'"

Statoil may halt plans to drill in the Chukchi Sea off of northwest Alaska citing the risks and costs. In an interview at CERAWeek yesterday, EVP Tim Dodson said,
"Ultimately, you need more of a collaborative effort," Dodson said in an interview. "I think we all agree that generically, this is not really the place to go it alone. This is the place where you need to be learning from each other (and) where you need to be sharing both experiences and sharing facilities and common costs."
Statoil has decided to watch what happens with the Shell Arctic wells before they make a final decision about letting their leases go.

Saga Heroes is an action/adventure RPG that is played from a top-down perspective, very much inspired by classic action/adventure games on the SNES, but we've added our own unique blend of adventuring, role playing, and action. As you explore, you will complete many quests along the main storyline, and will also have the opportunity to help NPCs by doing their side quests.
You start in the small village of Aria, with the clothes on your back and nothing more. Gain the trust of the townsfolk by completing their quests and uncover the secrets of the Shadow Cabal. Explore the world of Gaia and discover the rich lore behind it all.
Saga Heroes offers an exciting new adventure based in the world we created for our MMORTS, SAGA, and a new film set in the same world, The Shadow Cabal made by our friends at Arrowstorm Entertainment.
While questing, you will cross paths with ferocious beasts, majestic creatures, and ancient demons. As you defeat your enemies, you will gain experience and grow more powerful. You will also collect all kinds of loot to more prepare you for the evil ahead.
Delve deep into the dungeons of ancient temples, which have been overrun by legions of Undead and worshipers of Goth-Azul, who are desperately trying to break the seals and release their master. You must defeat the evil inside, and stop them before it's too late.

50 Feet in 4 Seconds: Reviews
?50 Feet in Four Seconds: The True Story of a Leap into Consciousness and Ultimate Health? by local Ashland Deeksha-giver and Melchizadek Priestess Shazna Jai, describes in clear and concise detail her dramatic healing journey from this life-altering incident and offers insights to others who are facing their own journey to healing wholeness. After a dramatic and life-altering free fall fifty feet onto the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona, Shazna experienced a profound connection to Source and her essence, enabling her to accelerate her body?s own healing abilities to the astonishment of the medical teams around her. As proof of her miraculous recovery, her attending ER doctor has acknowledged in the prologue the incredible speed of her recovery. Astonishing and yet not as Shazna details in the chapters such as ? Hospital, Surgery, and Miracle Healing,? ?Subconscious to Conscious,? and ?Learning Divine Skills? where she explains her process and gives detailed descriptions of her methods for the reader. Breathing exercises and meditation techniques round out the balance of this wonderful true story. A must read for anyone who is undergoing any kind of healing in their lives.

Dear Shazna,
I finished reading your book several days ago and want to tell you how much it meant to me. I found it totally inspiring and fascinating. Your ability to remember in such minute and intimate detail and to express it all in words is just wonderful.
I'm going to listen to your CD next and am sure it will be a perfect extension to the experience of reading your book, which was quite mind-expanding and soul-nourishing.
Thank you for sharing so much of your soul and body's journey with us all.
Here is a review for you:
50 Feet in 4 Seconds took me with Shazna Jai on a leap of faith into fuller consciousness. How? The clarity, authenticity, and authority with which she writes are irresistible. In this unique spiritual adventure, I fell with Shazna and then experienced her miraculous recovery. And not just recovery! This book is about revelation: discovering who we really are, finding our true path, and having the courage to live it while here in the body now. I felt the blessings she experienced of being guided and healed by dolphins, angels, and ascended masters and guides.
When Shazna fell 50 feet in 4 seconds and broke 22 bones, she surrendered into a healing process that affected her on more than a physical level. Yet, she clearly states that ?... our collective intent is to be carried out in human form, bringing the light of the divine within our precious cells.?
Shazna offers her book as a testimonial to the power of Spirit, the wisdom of the inner Self. All we need to do is listen, surrender, say yes, and BE without reservation and without judgment. The book includes daily healing practices for learning to ?Know Thyself.? Thank you, Shazna, for showing us that surrendering to the power of Love can lead us to the highest state of Bliss.
Marty Christian, retired editor, National Geographic Books
Your book is a treasure. The remarkable power of self-healing shines from every page, with unmistakable clarity. As your journey unfolds, each chapter forms a pyramid of light, one step built upon the other, at the top of which is reached the glorious certainty that total health, our true destiny, is in our own hands. Congratulations and thanks.
Linda Elesiya Evans, Artist & Intuitive, Ashland, OR
An amazing, powerful and inspiring story about Waking Up.
Gerry G. Jampolsky, M.D. Founder of Center for Attitudinal Healing and author of ?Love is letting go of fear?.
That Shazna Jai survived her near-death encounter is a miracle. That she then chose to ask, "What did I learn from this?" in order to share her answers with others provides the reader with a gift of extraordinary spiritual insight.
Carol Adler, Dandelion Press
?I read your book on the way home from Dallas....it is wonderful...inspiring, profound and remarkable. Bless you, bless you?.
Rita Reneaux, Relationship Expert and Coach
?We have both finished your book. I was deeply touched. I came to tears of joy many times while reading your story. It confirmed my belief that we are meant to be healthy, wealthy and happy, and it is our unexamined beliefs that hold us back.

I feel grateful to have you share this story with me?.

Making scarecrows is serious business for the preschoolers at A Children's Carousel.
For two years, the Sunrise nursery school has held a scarecrow contest judged by Sunrise Mayor Steve Effman. Each of the eight classes of 4and 5-year-olds presents its own scarecrow for consideration.
And in this contest, every scarecrow is a winner.
Trace Jones, 4, helped make the scarecrow with the big stitched smile that sits in a corner of Jennifer Segal's classroom. "My scarecrow won `Happiest,'" Trace said proudly.
Betty Lou, the scarecrow made by Sue Fazio's class, has long straw curls and wears a string of pearls around her neck. She won the honor of being named "Best Dressed."
Claudine, a hip scarecrow dressed in fashionable clothes, was named "Coolest."
And the long, lanky scarecrow made by Christine Vacchiano's class was dubbed, simply, "Tallest."
Effman awarded a title to each of the eight scarecrows and presented them with special certificates. The awards were hung on each classroom door.
"All the classes get awards," said Nikki Rich, a teacher at the preschool. "The kids love it. They make such a big deal about it."
Parents of the preschoolers donate burlap bags that serve as the scarecrows' bodies, and old hand-me-downs, mostly overalls and outgrown plaid shirts, for the scarecrows' clothes. The hay for stuffing is purchased by the school.
On a scheduled day, parents visit their children's classes to help with the scarecrow-making. The children stuff the burlap bags and dress the scarecrows while parents sew on buttons for eyes and attach carrots for noses.

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) -- Maya Moore and everybody around UConn realized how much this meant to Stanford after several near misses against the mighty Huskies -- one in the Final Four, another that cost the Cardinal the 2010 NCAA title.
No. 1 Connecticut's remarkable run is over, a 90-game winning streak stopped by an inspired Stanford squad determined to protect its own impressive mark: 52 straight home wins at Maples Pavilion.
This time, the ninth-ranked Cardinal took the lead from the opening tip and kept firm hold of it until the final buzzer of a 71-59 victory Thursday night.
"They forced us into some mistakes we haven't made all year," coach Geno Auriemma said. "Finally a team took advantage of the mistakes we made."
Stanford had been so close to UConn in the previous two meetings, blowing halftime leads and pondering what could have been for months -- especially last April's NCAA final that sent the Huskies to their second straight championship.
The Cardinal took an early 13-point lead Thursday and never trailed.
UConn fans accustomed to watching Auriemma's team blow past opponents hadn't seen a loss since the 2008 NCAA semifinals, when Stanford beat the Huskies 82-73 in the Final Four at Tampa, Fla.
"At some point reality had to set in, and today reality set in," Auriemma said. "I'm not destroyed about it. Winning that many games in a row, it's unheard of."
These teams have a bit of a history. In last season's title game, Stanford almost beat Moore and Co. but lost 53-47. It still bugs the Cardinal.
That they won in the rematch shouldn't have been a total surprise. Even Auriemma acknowledged he wasn't sure how the Huskies would match up.
Stanford was unbeatable at home, had given the Huskies fits in past meetings, and UConn came close to losing to then-No. 2 Baylor last month.
Jeanette Pohlen hit five 3-pointers on the way to a career-high 31 points for the Cardinal (9-2). Moore couldn't find a rhythm until it was too late, held to 14 points on 5-of-15 shooting and 4-for-11 from 3-point range.
"I thought we let it get away from us," Auriemma said. "I think the atmosphere and what was going on and when Maya couldn't get going early. I think it affected the rest of our guys. We just didn't play like ourselves. Give credit to Stanford. I think they played an unbelievably good game."
Last week, the Huskies (12-1) topped the 88-game winning streak set by John Wooden's UCLA men's team from 1971-74 by beating No. 22 Florida State 93-62, then won their 90th in a row this week at Pacific.
Pohlen sealed it with six free throws in the final 42.5 seconds. She shot 8-for-15 overall and had nine rebounds and six assists. Nnemkadi Ogwumike added 12 points and six rebounds, and Kayla Pedersen 11 rebounds to help Stanford to a 43-36 advantage on the boards.
"I thought we showed moments of fight where we came together and were playing together at times," Moore said. "Then we would hurt ourselves ... and momentum would shift right back to them."
Moore's 3-pointer with 10:50 left cut Stanford's lead to 48-44, then Pedersen answered moments later on the other end. Moore tried to will her team back late, scoring eight straight during one stretch. But she missed the front end of a one-and-one off the rim with 1:42 left that could have made it a four-point game.
"I think we worked very hard defensively," Cardinal coach Tara VanDerveer said. "She's a great player. She's human."
Kelly Faris scored 19 points and Bria Hartley 14 for the Huskies, who never found their usual dominant form while playing in front of a raucous sellout crowd of 7,329.
"I think that's an incredible, incredible accomplishment," VanDerveer said of UConn's run. "Since we last played them and beat them, we've lost (nine) games -- and two of them were to them. I'm really proud of our team for really stepping up and not being intimidated by the streak. Tonight was our night."
Stanford hasn't won it all since 1992 despite making the last three Final Fours.
"It's not a national championship but it's a very big game for us and we're very excited," VanDerveer said.
Former players from both schools were in the stands: Wiggins, Jayne Appel, Rosalyn Gold-Onwude and JJ Hones of Stanford sitting together on one baseline, and ex-UConn star Tina Charles. And also Alana Beard and Ruthie Bolton, a member of VanDerveer's gold medal winning 1996 Olympic team in Atlanta.
"I'm just happy for our team," said VanDerveer, who joined the elite 800-win club last week. "The streak is something that they did. We're about Stanford and what we want to do."
Stanford hasn't lost at home since a 68-61 upset by Florida State in the second round of the NCAA tournament in March 2007.
"It's a huge win but it is December," Pedersen said. "This instills confidence that we can beat any team. We haven't won anything yet."

Bangladesh Tragedy Reinforces Need for Corporate Action to Ensure Health and Safety in Supply Chains
Today, on International Workers' Day, an international celebration of the labour movement, the UN Global Compact is urging companies to step up efforts and engage in the fight to improve occupational health and safety standards.
EcoVadis's insight:
An interesting move from the United Global Compact to focus on down-to-earth CSR issues and advocate for the adoption of better health safety standards in the supply chain. This is a little reactive after major incidents such as the one at the Tazreen factory fire and Rana Plaza factory collapse that led to a 800+ death toll (not 400 as mentioned), but welcome.
The international Dutch chain of fashion retailer C&A has launched an in-depth fire safety audit at all its suppliers in Bangladesh after the country's worst-ever industrial blaze at Tazreen Fashions.
EcoVadis's insight:
In response to the Tazreen tragedy, international buyers such as C&A are now reinforcing their supply health and safety audit standards...
Mobile device giant Samsung has admitted to using tin sourced from a controversial mining operation on the Indonesian island of Bangka, where unregulated mining kills 150 miners a year and causes substantial environmental damage, reports The Guardian and Mongabay-Indonesia....
EcoVadis's insight:
With ever increasing scrutiny of supply chain from NGOs, third sector and advocacy organizations, it is now crucial for large corporations to proactively develop CSR risks management strategy in worldwide supply chains.
A blaze that killed 112 workers in Bangladesh last month exposed a disconnect among retailers like Sears and Walmart, the monitoring system to protect workers and the factories filling the orders.
EcoVadis's insight:
Beyond the abominable tragedy, this article from the New York times also highlights key issues such as the opacity in sub-contracting networks, the lack of corrective actions and follow-ups once non-conformities are uncovered during audits, and of course the tragic lack of investment in what does not directly impact the bottom line...
