In a recent report on Deere & Co., UBS has upgraded the company's stock from Sell to Neutral with a 12-month price target of $81, reports Zeeshan Athar on BusinessFinanceNews.com. The main focus of UBS' research in the report, is the U.S. corn business. The research house expects corn prices to rise over the next six months. This rise will support Deere stock. While UBS expects slight increase in 2016 corn acreage, it believes there is downside risk to yields which would cut materially into ending inventories.
UBS expects corn acreage to increase slightly to 89.3m acres in 2016 from 88.4 in 2015. The decline in soybean prices in 2015, led by good U.S. and South American production, along with weaker demand from China, is likely to drive the shift back to corn acreage. UBS does not expect any material change in corn demand, although it foresees some downside risk to exports due to stronger U.S. dollar.
USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service released crops data shows precipitous decline in corn plantation in 2015 as compared to 2012. Year over year (YoY) comparison shows 2% decline in 2015 to 88.38 million acres from 90.59 million acres in 2014. Harvesting fell by 3% over the same period on the back of low corn prices. In these five years, prices dropped by 38% per year on average; from $6.02 per bushel in 2011 to $3.71 per bushel in 2015. However, it is likely that these prices will revert in 2016 amid lower corn inventories during the year. This would drive farmers to harvest more corn.
Credit Suisse Analysis
While UBS ponders over the impact of corn on Deere & Co., Credit Suisse is focused on mergers and acquisitions in agriculture sector. Deere's strong balance sheet puts the company in position to acquire such businesses. Based on this view, Credit Suisse maintains an Outperform rating on Deere stock with a 12-month price target of $87.
Deere's agriculture business is split into 40% large agriculture, 40% small agriculture, and 20% Turf. Recently, Deere provided its company update where it foresees no change in the company's long-term growth trend. However, it expects the U.S. economy to recover slowly despite increases in commodity prices.
The company points out that Latin American farmers are earning well, yet their lack of confidence remains an issue. Argentina is the most profitable region while the European region is viewed as a laggard. Currently, Deere holds excess construction inventory, however it expects to sell this off within the first half of 2016. The company has announced 10,000 job cuts from its global workforce of 67,000 people. On the other hand, the company does not foresee the need to close any major plant based on its long-term market view. In its 2016 guidance, Deere & Co. projects EPS at $9.09 along with $32 billion in sales.
In line with Credit Suisse' expectations, the company continues to invest in precision agriculture; both organically as well as through acquisitions. This differentiates the company's competitive positioning from others. Precision agriculture is predicted to be a $20 billion market. Strategic acquisitions in this segment might lead to Deere's stand-alone business.
Deere acquired Monosem and Precision Planting in November 2015. With Monosem, Deere is likely to use its global platform in other countries. On the other hand, Precision Planting comprises the largest installed base of precision planting through its network of retro-fit planters. Deere expects to monetize through seed companies, agriculture service providers and chemical companies to augment its revenue stream with Precision Planting.

Arizona cop arrests naked woman after entering her home illegally
An Arizona woman is planning to sue the city of Chandler after a local police officer illegally entered her home and arrested her while she was naked. Police later found the officer had no reason to enter the woman's house.
It's unclear exactly when the incident occurred, but it began when Chandler Police Officer Doug Rose and another cop arrived at the home of Esmeralda Rossi. The two wanted to speak with her after receiving a call about her arguing with her estranged husband.
When they arrived, Rossi was in the shower and her daughter answered the door.
"My daughter came to the shower and said there are two officers at the door. So I just grabbed a towel and ran to the door,"she told local ABC 15, which broke the story and obtained video footage of the incident.
At some point during her conversation with the officers, Rossi said she wanted to get her cell phone in order to record the interview. On leaving to retrieve it, she heard footsteps behind her and then one of the officers told her to stop or she would be arrested, Rossi alleges.
The situation escalated when Rossi and her daughter began recording the episode anyway. Officer Rose can be heard asking Rossi if she wants to go to jail. He eventually moves in to arrest her.
"I don't want to touch you! Don't touch me,"Rossi can be heard saying in the video.
"You are under arrest. Please turn around and put your hands behind your back,"Rose says as he grabs her. At this point, Rossi and her daughter are yelling.
"I felt helpless. I felt violated. And honestly, I felt molested,"Rossi told ABC 15.
"The way he approached me was very aggressive and very angry. And it made me very uncomfortable."

3 Makeup Looks Inspired by My Favorite Albums of 2016
Since I'm a visual person I hardly ever remember the album title but I just remember what the album art looks like.
I live for MAC limited-edition collections. Funny, they're usually filled with new colors that just so happen to be the colors I've spent my entire makeup wearing life searching for.
I've gone through some thangs in pursuit of limited-edition products: waking up at two o'clock in the morning to check that the collection dropped, standing in line outside in the polar vortex until the store opened, and ordering from London literally a week after I left the city--which I had just been studying abroad in for the last four months.
All of these crazy times were for the sake of lipstick. MAC lipstick at that: Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday, Rihanna Pleasure Bomb, and when MAC first released Candy Yum-Yum as a limited edition. As you can see, my love for pink lipstick has gotten so real.
When I read that MAC was releasing a collection with Sharon and Kelly Osbourne--two collections, to be accurate--I wasn't sure what to expect because they're so totally different from each other (Sharon and Kelly, that is). And more important, would there be a new lipstick for me to covet? Read on...
Sharon's collection is for the modest type. It's filled with Patentpolish Lip Pencils, which are color sticks that go on like chubby lip pencils, but shine like gloss. All are in warm, neural tones such as a nude beige and warm caramel. There are two Lipglasses also in neutral shades (a light gold and soft rose), Mineralized Skinfinish Duo in peachy-golden pink, a satin-finish Powder Blush (peachy-pink), and two brushes (an angled shading brush and a larger blending brush).
My favorite product from Sharon's collection is the Patentpolish Lip Pencil in Ruby, which is a rosy color. It glides on easily and gives a nice tint with a satin finish. It reminds me of the BITE BB for Lips, except it doesn't move much or wear off throughout the day. I lined it with the Lip Pencil in Cranberry, a subtle yellow-pink, to give it some extra color.
Kelly's collection is more fun and daring. Like her mother, she also has two brushes (a pencil brush and a flat buffer brush); plus a Mineralized Skinfinish Duo (light beige/pale pink); a Powder Blush in a satiny, peachy brown; a Lip Pencil in bright yellow-pink; and a Eye Shadow Quad (a mix of satin, matte, and pearl textures), and an Eye Kohl. Kelly also has a Jumbo Penultimate liner (in Rapidblack), four lipstick shades (mattes and satins, ranging from light nude to light vivid orange), and a Brow Duo in soft taupe/dark brown.
My favorite products from the Kelly collection are the Dodgy Girl and Kelly Yum-Yum lipsticks. Dodgy Girl is a matte pale lavender that reminds me of the Rihanna Hearts MAC RiRi Boy that was released last summer. Depending on the lighting, it can look more pink than lavender. Kelly Yum-Yum is a bright blue pink that's similar to the original Candy Yum-Yum, but has a satin finish instead of a matte one. If you're into bright lips, these can be your new bright summer shades.
If you weren't able to get these products online because they were sold out, now's the chance to stock up--the collections are out in-store today.
Who's your favorite Osbourne? And what crazy stuff have you done to get a limited-edition beauty product?

Before media and political elites began to understood the potential for online activism, MoveOn was doing it. The group, which was forged in the 1998 fight to get Congress to "move on" from petty-yet-divisive wrangling over the impeachment of Bill Clinton, and which expanded into a political force of national and international significance during the struggle to avert the war in Iraq, MoveOn has for almost two decades set benchmarks for digital activism.
Today, the group describes itself as "a community of more than 8 million Americans from all walks of life who use the connective power of the Internet to lead, participate in, and win campaigns for progressive change."
Yet only once has MoveOn made an endorsement in a contest for a Democratic presidential nomination. In February 2008, when that year's primary race was at its most competitive, MoveOn members voted 70-30 to back the insurgent candidacy of Illinois Senator Barack Obama over that of New York Senator Hillary Clinton. Four years earlier, former Vermont governor Howard Dean beat Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich and Massachusetts Senator John Kerry in "the MoveOn primary," but fell short of the threshold to secure an endorsement.
Now MoveOn members are voting again, in online balloting that began Thursday and will extend through Sunday.
"Here's your official, personal ballot, where you can vote now for your choice—Hillary Clinton, Martin O'Malley, Bernie Sanders, or no endorsement," read the message that went to MoveOn members Thursday afternoon.
"A key reason MoveOn exists is to elevate ordinary people's voices in our democracy, which has been rigged by the undue influence of big money and powerful interests—and that's exactly what this vote is about," says Ilya Sheyman, executive director of MoveOn.org Political Action. "This vote gives millions of MoveOn members across the country a chance to weigh in on the presidential race prior to the Iowa caucuses, and if there is substantial alignment among our membership, MoveOn will endorse and work to elect the candidate MoveOn members support."
MoveOn has significant capacity to do that work, not just in the first-caucus state of Iowa and the first-primary state of New Hampshire but in states across the country, including Southern and Western states where progressives are not always so well-represented or well-connected. It also brings significant resources to the process, along with a commitment to run "a 100% positive campaign" on behalf of its endorsed candidate.


text: 'My goal is to build a comedy empire and help restore dignity to our profession. It..s the best I ever feel when I..m on stage, putting the thoughts from my head into those of an audience. Applause is my drug of choice.' - Katt Williams Known just as much for his permed hair as he is for his animated performances and quick wit, comedian Katt Williams has been making his mark in Hollywood for over 12 years. Beginning his career at an age when most teenagers are seeking their driver's license, the young comic quickly discovered that he had a gift for making people laugh. Inspired by the likes of great humorists such as Richard Pryor Donn Knotts, Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby, George Carlin, Thomas Marshall, Jeff Foxworthy, Whoopi Goldberg, Jerry Seinfeld and Dave Chapelle, whom he calls the 'Malcolm X of comedy,' Katt Williams' entertaining standup routines are laying the blueprint for a new generation of comics. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio and raised in Dayton, Katt Williams was the product of a socially and politically charged household. His parent's influence and teachings may have been what caused him to briefly join the Nation of Islam later on in his life while living in the Bay Area. Being that educational excellence was greatly encouraged from birth, the tiny prot..g.. was reading at age 3. When he was 12, he won a number of awards for science projects, which landed him a full scholarship to The National Science Academy in Dayton, but as soon as the young brain found out about the scholarship, he purposely failed a math test in order to be disqualified from participating in the program. "I was young. You know when you are young, you just do what you do. I can use my I.Q. now. I had a high I.Q as an 8 years old. So you know what was I gonna do with it. I was just trying to be impressive and not mess up." In 1999 Katt became a presence at The Improv, The Comedy Club, The Icehouse and even had his own room at The Hollywood Park Casino where he had a large, loyal following. He..s become somewhat of a staple comedic force on the BET Network, appearing on shows such as Comic View, Rip the Runway, Black Carpet, 106th & Park, The BET Awards and BET Comedy Awards. Throughout his success he has been massively embraced by the Hip Hop community, receiving and encouragement from Nelly, Ludacris, Snoop, and Master P (..Hands down Katt Williams is the next Richard Pryor..) and Snoop Dogg (..Katt is doing his comedy thing so flamboyantly and so fly with spirit of the late great Red Foxx and the spirit of Richard Pryor..) For two consecutive years Katt has hosted the BET ..Hip Hop.. Awards Show in Atlanta, Georgia. In his role as host he received an overwhelmingly positive response from critics and had a chance to speak directly to Hip Hop audiences globally and share his insight on urban culture, folklore, lifestyle, history and music. More than a musical style, hip-hop is a history of American culture, and a testimony by its artists of their life experiences. The Award Shows have been electrifying events of non-stop homage and entertainment to the genre of Hip Hop music. Performances from the 1st Hip-Hop Awards included Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Young Jeezy and T.I. while Award Nominees include everyone from Common and Busta Rhymes to DMX and Jay-Z. Katt Williams' talent extends over multiple mediums. Known to most for his breakout role in three seasons of Nick Cannon..s highly-rated MTV improv show, 'Wild n' Out,' the funnyman has appeared in music videos for everyone from Outkast ('Roses') and Ludacris ('Stand Up' & 'Number One Spot') to E-40 ('One Night Stand') and Lil.. Kim ('Shut Up/Lighter's Up'), in addition to landing roles on the small and big screen. Some of his appearances include 'NYPD Blue', UPN's 'Girlfriends' and 'Cuts', 'The Tracy Morgan Show', 'Short Circuitz', 'Wanted', 'My Wife and Kids,' Russell Simmon's HBO 'Def Comedy Jam' alongside Dave Chappelle and an animated character ('A Pimp Named Slickback') on the popular adult cartoon 'The Boondocks'. He also co-starred alongside Eddie Griffin in Eddie Murphy's 'Norbit'. With the recent release of his own movie 'American Hustle', Queen Latifah's 'A Perfect Holiday' with Terrence Howard, Gabrielle Union and Charlie Murphy, and 'First Sunday' with Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan, he is definitely cementing himself on the silver screen. He is also branching off into directing and casting his own films with his team of writers at So Pro Studios. Katt continues to receive stamps of approvals from the urban and mainstream community alike for his brilliance and ingenuity on screen and on-stage including being named 'hottest new comedian' in Rolling Stone Magazine as well as praise from African American comedic icons such as Steve Harvey who says, 'He's one of the hottest comedians in the country' Widely recognized for his role as 'Money Mike' in the hit New Line movie Friday After Next, the rising star is currently on a multi-city sold out comedy tour with a groundbreaking album in the works entitled It's Pimpin', Pimpin' (Kattpack Records/Diplomat Records/Universal), featuring Lil Wayne, Nelly, Snoop Dogg, Da Brat, E-40, Lyfe Jennings, Paul Wall, Mike Jones, Lil' Jon, and more. Ten of 'Money Mike's' ring tones were also recently ranked in the Jamster! Top 5 most downloaded, fun-sound ring tones while 'Money Mike' also remains the Urban World Wireless.. ring tone king with the popular 'Pimp Phone Ringing'. Telling jokes with ease, the stand-up comic/actor wants to conquer the globe's problems with laughter. 'Everything, everywhere is comedy material. To watch and view the world via television, newspapers, movies and music translate our world into funny. There is no subject where funny doesn't exist.' The current Los Angeles resident has undoubtedly become a fixture on the comedic and Hollywood landscape with more than enough charisma and talent to spare. Possessing the ability to make millions of people laugh, Katt Williams is healing the world one smile at a time. Katt sums it up best, ..I..m in the great comedian lane. Once you..re in that lane, that's just the beginning of it. The getting there is the journey.'

Federal regulators, state and local emergency managers and Florida Power & Light say they may learn lessons from Japan's battle to control earthquake-crippled reactors but they downplayed the possibility of a similar nuclear nightmare striking the state.
After a review of plans for Florida's three nuclear plants, Gov. Rick Scott declared the facilities and emergency responders prepared to face any "natural or manmade disaster'' — from a quake to far-more-likely hurricanes and storm surges. One facility, Turkey Point in South Miami-Dade, already has weathered a hit from a Category 5 hurricane — Andrew in 1992.
Michael Waldron, a spokesman for FPL, which also operates a nuclear plant in St. Lucie County, said the utility's reactors were designed to endure "worst-case'' impacts and boast a back-up cooling system that operates on steam when emergency diesel generators fail — a redundancy Japanese reactors lack.
"The factors that caused this event are extremely unlikely in South Florida,'' Waldron said Tuesday.
The reassurances don't assuage activists, who contend Japan's struggle to contain the worst radiation release since Chernobyl underlines the inherent dangers of nuclear power and difficulty of dealing with unexpected disaster.
South Miami Mayor Philip Stoddard, a Florida International University biology professor who campaigned against FPL plans to add two more reactors at Turkey Point, acknowledged a quake was improbable.
"But think of the other things that could happen,'' he said. "What if somebody drops an airplane into a spent fuel pool or Castro decides to crash a MIG into Turkey Point?''
Stoddard and other critics of the Turkey Point expansion argue that emergency plans fall short, starting with a 10-mile-radius evacuation zone standard for all U.S. nuclear facilities. In Japan on Tuesday, the government urged residents up to 18 miles from the Fukushima Daiichi plant to remain indoors.
Stoddard said South Miami-Dade roads would clog as residents outside the zone tried to flee as well, potentially slowing evacuation from the hottest zones and delaying access to potassium iodide pills that are stockpiled for distribution at an emergency reception center in Tamiami Park near Florida International's main campus. Medical experts say the pills, mega-doses of iodine, can prevent one of the most common forms of radiation sickness, thyroid cancer.

WASHINGTON -- The big budget deal President Bush just signed, the one that's supposed to cut the deficit by nearly $500 billion over five years, won't cut federal spending at all this fiscal year.
In fact, total federal spending will rise by about 10 percent. And that's without an additional $75 billion more for the savings and loan bailout and the Persian Gulf military expedition.
The deal -- which Bush and Congress struggled for six months to produce, promoting widespread public disgust in the process -- promises that one-third of future deficit reduction will come from tax increases and two-thirds from spending cuts.

Human Wrongs Watch
– The joint military manoeuvres between the Russian and Chinese navies, armies, and air forces has kicked off. It's a clear message for Washington, which has recently strengthened its action in Asia, indicating that as a country that overlooks the Pacific, it wants to play an important role in the continent, aimed at containing the Chinese expansion.
Obama, during his visit to Laos, the first by an American President and his last in Asia as President, has explicitly stated that the United States are guarantors of Asian stability.
One must also consider that the greatest continent of the world is going through a wave of nationalism (China, Japan, India) and populism (Philippines). Joint military manoeuvres are a clear message: the United States cannot decide the destinies of Asia.
Russia is already considered by NATO an enemy to contain, encircled by the borders of Eastern Europe. The annexation of Crimea, the intervention in eastern Ukraine, and then the military action in Syria, have isolated the Kremlin, object of unprecedented trade sanctions by both Europe and America.
The meeting last week, between Obama and Putin at the G20, ended overtly negative. The fragile agreement to a ceasefire in Syria reached between the respective foreign ministers, does not solve the overall dispute between the two countries, which are still willing to fight each other with an undeclared war, until the very last Syrian. The Western alliance intends to maintain sanctions on Russia.
The logic is that the latter, weakened by the fall in oil prices and witnessing a significant reduction of its revenue, will lead to Putin being obliged to accept the supremacy of the West, hence being forced to reduce his action internationally.
This logic leads to a non-negotiation, as everyone waits for Putin to understand that he cannot have global ambitions. As Obama said, "Russia is a regional power." And the information system is full of analysis on how the Russian economy is going through a crisis, and how the decline in resources will undermine the relationship between Putin and the Russian people.
Now, a slightly more in-depth analysis gives way to serious doubts on the strength of this strategy. To begin with, the sanctions have a different burden on Europe than on the United States.
It is emphasized that Russia's GDP has fallen by 3.5 percent. But aside from the fact that in this scenario the reduction in oil prices (the main Russian export) plays a much more serious role, from $ 100 a barrel to the current 50 dollars, all is quiet on the cost of penalties for the West, which has suspended Russia's exports.
According to the European Commission, at the end of 2015, it was $ 100 billion dollars. But here lies a major difference, which has been inexplicably silenced. US exports to Russia fell by 3.5%, while the Europeans fell by 13% ( 43% of the agricultural sector). For its part, European imports from Russia fell by 13.5%.
Also according to the European Commission, the European GDP fell by 0.3% in 2014 and 0.4% in 2015, as a direct result of the sanctions. This doesn't preoccupy Germany but countries like Italy, whose growth is close to zero (and whose agricultural sector has been hit by the loss of the Russian market), without forgetting that the total growth of the European GDP is close to 1 percent.
But, reply the NATO circles, the difference between the decline of Russia's GDP and that of Europe, shows that sanctions work, and it is only a matter of time before Putin capitulates.
This leads to another reflection largely absent in the media. One cannot ignore that Putin enjoys great esteem amongst the Russian population. The independent surveys confer to him levels of popularity which range from 60% to peaks of 78%, percentages unknown for any Western leader.
This popularity has increased since Putin annexed Crimea, intervened in Ukraine, sticking a knife on NATO's side, (which he can turn as he pleases), and intervened in Syria. The response of the official circles is that these actions were carried out to hide the internal social and economic crisis.
However, crises arise when they feel as such. Americans are convinced that during the Reagan presidency the United States they were living through a blissful economic era, whereas in reality, the fiscal deficit rose from 800 billion to 2,750 trillion.
It's now easy to convince the Russians that the West is trying to strangle their economy. Furthermore, the Russians are a population, according to sociologists, are able to squeeze consumer spending much more than the citizens of the western countries, for both historical and cultural reasons.
However, the main reflection should be made on an important dysfunctional element: the simultaneous existence of the European Community and Nato, two institutions which have a different agenda, which often generate schizophrenic actions.
The formal purpose of the European Community is to promote further integration and development of European countries, based on common values and interests.
The formal purpose of Nato is to act for the security of the Western world, which is made up at the same time by the United States (absolute leaders) and from Europe.
As a consequence, Europe entrusts Nato in her security. According to many analysts, Nato echoes the characters of Pirandello's Play "Six Characters looking for an author". The end of the cold war and the end of the Soviet threat would have implied Nato's end. But getting rid of an institution is often more difficult than creating one. So for a long time, Nato has persistently looked for an enemy which would justify its existence.
As a Chinese proverb says: If you put a hammer in the hands of a man, they will look everywhere for nails that protrude. So much so in this case, that the last commander of Nato, the current General, has declared that Russia is a greater threat than ISIS.
Yet, there is also a school of thought that considers the West guilty of doing everything it could to make sure Putin was paranoid when he'd started off as an ally of Bush.
It should not be forgotten that Gorbachev's agreement to accept the fall of the Berlin wall was a consequence of Nato's commitment to keeping its borders.
Instead, all European countries of the former Soviet Union have entered Nato. And, representative of this trend, defined as an encirclement of Moscow (while Madrid defines it as a containment) is the recent admission of Montenegro to Nato, who admitted to having an army composed of 3,000 men.
Now, with careful analysis, there it is safe to say that Nato carries more weight in international politics than Europe. Even because, objectively speaking, Europe has reduced military expenses, as it delegates the costs of her defence to the United States.
No coincidence that Trump, making a point during his election campaign, promised that if he were to become President, the Europeans would have to pay their bills. This would result in a severe decrease of Nato's power in Europe.
Joint manoeuvres in the South China Sea are part of a very important and accelerated approach between Russia and China. Despite the slowdown in China's economy, as Beijing has signed loans for 25 billion dollars to Russian companies: Russia, for its part, has committed itself to a gas supply agreement of 38 billion cubic meters of gas per year, for 30 years, with a fee of 400 billion dollars.
China Development Bank has granted a line of credit at Sberbank of 966 million dollars. Beijing has set up an investment fund for Russian Agriculture worth 2 billion dollars and has granted 19.7 billion dollars credit for a railroad linking Moscow to the city of Kazan.
The two countries have also agreed to increase their bilateral trade to 200 billion dollars by 2020. In other words, an unprecedented business alliance is growing between the two countries.
The question that Europe must, therefore, ask, taking off its Nato hat and putting on the hat of the European Union, is whether it should push Russia into the arms of China. Maybe it's time to open a comprehensive negotiation with Russia, instead of discussing separately each step of the litigation, Siria separately from Ukraine, from Crimea, from the issue of Georgia, from Eastern Europe and so on.
From this analysis, an ever more crucial question arises. Is it a forward-looking strategy for Europe, if the sanctions had an effect, to have a country of great military and economic importance such as Russia, close to the borders, on it knees and with a population who is humiliated and offended, convinced (thanks to evidence) that Europe is obstructing Russia from having a righteous place in the world? Is this the best path for European security?
Perhaps a negotiation with Russia would be better, in order to obtain a security policy, as well as trade and commerce for which there are huge needs, as according to world-leading economists we're headed towards a long period of stagnation.
But the question whether the European schizophrenia of the two hats, that of Nato and the EU, (today in crisis), enables this negotiation. Especially because Putin is creating his own system of European alliances: an Alliance with the populist right, with the Salvini's and the Le Pen's, achieving the admiration of Trump, becoming the model for an illiberal democracy, as the Hungarian President Orban puts it.
This certainly reduces European security. But where is a leader capable of having a newer, more realistic and long-term vision of security for Europe? Are we sure this is feasible without Russia?

A focus group is a method used in the context of a marketing strategy where a group of individuals are offered a certain scenario and provide their opinions, beliefs and perceptions to reveal their attitudes concerning a concept, product, advertisement, service, idea, or a type of packaging. Typically, a group is invited to participate based upon certain individual factors. Individuals are asked questions within an interactive setting where they talk freely along with other participating group members.
Benefits of Data Mining
Data mining is used for marketing purposes and involves searching, collecting, analyzing and processing information from various sources. Focus groups are beneficial for the process of data mining in that they allow for companies and organizations to discover distinctive information about customers and consumer behavior. The kind of information revealed from a focus group is rarely accessible from any other method, since it is the result of an interactive discussion forum.
Group Discussion Benefits
Group discussions produce information and insight in what is otherwise less accessible about key marketing concerns. In group discussions, individuals are afforded the ability to listen to other points and view, consider that information and then react to it immediately. By having the opportunity to listen to other people's experiences, new ideas and memories are stimulated to form different and conclusions which they may not have otherwise arrived at. Group members also discover common languages to describe very similar experiences. This atmosphere enables a unique type of disclosure which can be very beneficial for market research purposes.
Data Validity
Focus groups are sometimes thought of as "one shot case studies," particularly when they concern the social sciences. However, when focus groups are repeated, they elevate to a more valid study. The issue of external validity is a concern for any form of qualitative research, especially with regard to observer dependency. For example, results obtained are usually in some way influenced by the person conducting the research.
Types of Focus Groups
The types of focus groups used in a number of marketing strategies are varied. Some of the more popular focus groups include:
*Traditional. A single moderator with from 6-12 people
*Dual moderator. One moderator oversees mechanics; the other topics covered
*Two-way. One group observes another focus group
*Respondent. One respondent acts as temporary moderator
*Dueling moderators. Opposite sides are covered on an issue
*Client participant. Overtly or covertly, one or more client representatives participate
*Mini. Smaller groups of 4-5 members
*Teleconference. Discussion over telephone network
*Online. Moderate and members connect over the Internet
Focus Group Challenges
While focus groups are a very effective method for gathering qualitative research, the technique does experience some execution challenges. For example:
*Finding good quality participants in certain less populated areas
*Cost of rewarding participants
*Certain intimate and competitive topics are unsuitable for focus groups
Traditional focus groups provide accurate information and are typically less expensive than other forms of marketing research. However, when products will be marketed nationally, attitudes gathered from different locales requires geographical considerations. This also requires much more travel expenditure for both focus group professionals and their clients.
Focus Group Benefits
Observing focus group discussions provides marketing professionals with valuable opinions surrounding issues, revealing specific words and phrases used by customers and consumers.This information leads to a more clear view of the target market and becomes an essential aspect of any comprehensive marketing strategy. The market research professionals at bowden2bowden can help you achieve a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

The charm of Karawa Waterfall in Lembang district, Pinrang, South Sulawesi, begins to attract tourists. In addition to its clear water and natural atmosphere that is beautiful and cool, Karawa Waterfall has exotic views of the waterfall site and it's suitable for self relaxation. No wonder if this natural attraction that is located about 60 kilometers from the city Lasinrang, Pinrang is starting to be a byword. The bathing place of Karawa Waterfall is one of the new attractions that begin to be promoted by local government as one of tourist destinations.
On weekends, this beautiful and cool waterfall is much frequented by residents and students to refresh themselves. Karawa Waterfall has a height of about 30 meters which is located on the top of Mount Karawa. To reach this location, tourists have to travel as far as one kilometer of road districts. The road is uphill and challenging to make visitors often stop to rest for the trip. But fatigue is relieved after enjoying the coldness of Karawa Waterfall that is surrounded by rocks and green trees. The streets leading to the waterfall can be passed by a motorcycle. However, tourists who use four-wheeled vehicles must be willing to walk as far as 1 kilometer, because the vehicle could not get to the location.
Source: www.ardiyanta.com
A number of supporting facilities such as a gazebo and a place to change clothes should be provided and managed either by local governments or investors, so the facilities can bring economic benefits. To that end, the tourists hope that Karawa Waterfall can be polished again in order to become more attractive.
Karawa Waterfall is currently still managed by the local community. Each tourists is charged for admission of 5,000 Rupiah. Admission is used to finance and clean up the rubbish left by visitors every day.

WELLSTON, Mo. (KMOV.com) – A MetroLink rider was beaten after a group of men entered the Wellston station and yelled 'someone is going to eat dirt' on Tuesday night, according to witnesses.
The incident allegedly started in the parking lot of the station as the suspects followed the victim into the train and then kicked and punched him before he was pulled off the train and onto the platform. The victim was eventually able to run away from his attackers.
It is unclear whether the victim knew the suspects. Metro officials would not let News 4 see the footage of the attack.
No arrests have been made from this incident.

Semester Program
Marine Resource Studies
Fall 2018
August 27 - December 5
Spring 2019
January 28 - May 8
The SFS Center for Marine Resource Studies is a leading destination for students looking to immerse themselves in marine studies. Students and faculty at the Center work in collaboration with the South Caicos community and TCI authorities to conserve diverse marine resources and establish a sustainable economy for island residents. The Center is located in close proximity to coral reefs, uninhabited cays, mangroves, seagrass beds, and shallow shoals, offering abundant snorkel and dive sites as well as opportunities for a variety of research.
August 27 - December 5
January 28 - May 8
June 3 - July 3
July 8 - August 7
The Center is led by research scientist and faculty member Dr. Heidi Hertler. Dr. Hertler completed her Ph.D. at Drexel University. She has been studying the relationships between land use and coastal marine systems, including mangroves, seagrasses, and coral reefs in TCI since 2011. The Center's faculty includes Franziska Elmer, Ph.D. (Marine Ecology), and Kathy Baier-Lockhart, M.S., SFS Alumna (Marine Resource Management).
SFS Turks & Caicos Spring '09
My semester abroad in the Turks and Caicos Islands with SFS definitely helped me get where I am today.
As a fisheries research technician for the U.S. Geological Survey based at the Great Lakes Science Center, you'll find me driving a 28-foot research boat out on the water for most of the year. I conduct larval fish tows, which is collecting the tiny baby fish swimming at the surface, and I do demersal egg sampling, or gathering eggs that fish are depositing on the riverbed. Our team also builds…READ MORE
The charismatic fauna of the Turks and Caicos Islands include more than 300 species of fish, many elasmobranchs such as the spotted eagle ray and lemon shark, as well as sea turtles and humpback whales. Seagrass beds, mangroves, sandy shoals and reefs lend a patchwork appearance to the shallow blue water around our Center. Most local residents depend upon marine resources for their livelihoods, and tourism has placed increased strain upon these resources.
Research at the Center for Marine Resource Studies focuses on documenting the current status of local marine resources as well as the social and economic conditions of South Caicos, and quantifying any changes that may occur. The Center shares its research findings through local media, meetings and technical reports, facilitating increased environmental awareness among stakeholders and enabling local policymakers to make scientifically based decisions for management of local resources.
Through this research completed by faculty and students, several key research topics are addressed, and the exploration of these topics adds to both the local and global corpus of scientific knowledge.

My choice to study abroad in the Turks and Caicos Islands has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.
I never thought I would have such incredible experiences doing research, but here the ocean is our lab and it's truly surreal.Kayla Anderson
The community of South Caicos has hosted SFS for more than 25 years. During that time, staff and students have integrated into the small community on multiple levels. We are dedicated to helping the community conserve its natural resources and develop sustainably, and enjoy being a part of the Caribbean culture and island lifestyle of South Caicos. Students tutor and mentor local children, provide swimming and snorkeling lessons and lead a 'research club' to teach marine biology. Collaborative efforts with local NGOs have led to beach clean-ups and other service projects, and open research presentations provide an opportunity for the Center to share its findings with members of the community.
The SFS Center for Marine Resource Studies is located just steps from a crystal clear ocean classroom, adjacent to Cockburn Harbour and the island's 1,200 residents. Our field station sits about 40 feet above the water, looking directly out to sea. Within a three-mile radius are coral reefs, mangrove islands, sea grass beds, and carbonate platform flats offering abundant snorkel and dive sites.

Giants great and host of "NFL Monday QB" on CBS Sports Network Phil Simms talks Jets-Patriots with The Post's Justin Terranova. Simms will be calling the matchup between the two AFC East rivals, who have taken different paths to their 3-3 records.
Q: Was it surprising how well the Jets played against the Colts?
A: When I watched their game against the Texans, I realized they were closer than I anticipated to doing a lot of things really well. They probably should have beaten the Texans, but they weren't there to make the plays that counted for the win. They did put it together against Indy and it was a step. It's a different team, better competition this week, now can you add onto it? Can you still have the threat and the power to run it and make big pass plays?
Q: They didn't need him to do much, but did you walk away impressed with Mark Sanchez, though he threw for just 82 yards?
A: I thought Mark Sanchez had thrown for about 170 yards. I was shocked the numbers weren't bigger when I looked at the stat sheet. He played very well, if a play was there to be made, he made it, and he also created a couple, too. That's what you ask of a quarterback. But in two weeks if things don't go well, his game against the Colts will be viewed as a big negative because it'll be, 'oh, he just threw for 82 yards.'
Q: Both teams are 3-3, what weaknesses have you seen from the Patriots?
A: The overriding factor on this football team is if they can stop the pass, and they didn't against Seattle and Baltimore. That was the issue last year, but they overcame it and went to the Super Bowl, but pass defense is still their biggest weakness, no question.
Q: And are the Jets equipped to take advantage of that?
A: They are going to have to find that run-and-pass mix. Just because there's a defense struggling to stop the pass, doesn't mean you can take advantage of it. The NFL so many times it is about matchups.
Q: What about the Jets stopping the Patriots' passing offense, especially without Darrelle Revis?
A: I am not taking anything away from Cromartie at all, but it's like part of Revis' spirit went into Antonio. It's unbelievable. You can't help but notice him on the field. He is really and truly a special athlete, but the focus is on him more than ever. I see why, he deserves it.

Monster Trucks Crush In New Hampshire By Sean Hurley • Jan 8, 2013 Sean Hurley for NHPR They're twelve feet tall, twelve feet wide and crush metal into scrap for fun. They have names like Maximum Destruction, Eradicator and Thrasher. If you're envisioning a new breed of comic book villains, think again. They're some of the gigantic debutantes of a new season of Monster Truck Madness. The touring circuit known as Monster Jam 2013 landed in New Hampshire last week. Sean Hurley put in some earplugs and visited the spectacle for this radio field trip.

A vicious mob killer emptied his gun into an NYPD cop under orders from a Colombo crime family boss, he told jurors in Brooklyn federal court Thursday.
Former Colombo consigliere Joel Cacace is on trial for murder for allegedly ordering the 1997 slaying of Police Officer Ralph Dols because he'd married Cacace's ex-wife.
One triggerman, Dino Calabro, told rapt jurors he and a colleague walked up to Dols around midnight in front of his Brooklyn home.
The unsuspecting cop said, "What's up?" before the men opened fire, Calabro said.
"I just emptied my gun," Calabro said, noting that he saw Dols slumped over the hood of his Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme after being riddled with bullets.

Hi there! I'm so happy you've landed on my little piece of the internet :)
My name is Danielle (or Danni- whichever you prefer) and I'm the woman behind the camera! I'm a natural light photographer and instructor with a serious love for color harmony, fashion, patterns, and symmetry. I'm based in Washington, DC but I travel periodically to teach other photographers looking to fine-tune their natural light photography skills and improve their businesses! I specialize in lifestyle portrait and business photography; I also offer limited wedding photography services. Take a look around and if you'd like to schedule a session, I'd love to hear from you!
I am a natural light photographer specializing in portrait photography! On the lifestyle side I work with families, couples, models, seniors, etc... On the business side, I work with local companies, small businesses, and creative professionals looking for a warm and personal look for their business photos. I shoot a few weddings a year, and I teach as well! I offer 2 photography mentoring programs- one for photographers looking to improve their natural light photography and the other for photographers looking to build or improve their photography businesses.
"There are countless ways to learn: webinars, podcasts, teleconferences, video tutorials, blogs, major conferences and sometimes it can be OVERWHELMING!! And despite all the information, it may not get to the heart of YOUR specific needs. What I walked away with from both of DFinney's mentoring sessions was AMAZING! Her teaching style cuts through all the noise, fluff and distractions. I only wish I hadn't waited so long to make the investment in myself!"
~Stacy Pierce. Orlando, FL
"Danielle is all that you think she would be! She's organized, outgoing, and she's an expert in her craft. She made me feel at ease and we had a great time together! She told me what would look best and as a result, my photos are amazing. I'm so grateful that I went with her and I can't wait for my next shoot."
~Fatimah Barker.
New York, NY
"Working with Danni was incredible! When she showed up, the first thing she did was smile, and that automatically put my daughter and I at ease. She has a spirit that will light up any atmosphere! We will definitely work with her in the future!" ~Nelsheika Wallace. Washington, DC

Vocabulary and Introduction
Lesson 1 of 4
Objective: SWBAT define and practice with vocabulary that will help them as they learn about waves.
Big Idea: To be ready for a new unit of study, vocabulary is a great place to introduce the new topic while preparing them for the learning to come.
What We Know
To begin this lesson, students will share what they know about waves. Without giving anything away, the discussion centers on what they know currently. As they share, students can add to each others thoughts, develop their own further, or share something different that they know. Prompting and allowing them to talk motivates them to try to understand what they will be learning next.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Vocabulary We Need to Know
Students are ready to learn the vocabulary that will be used during the upcoming lessons. To start they take out their science journal. They will be using this to record their new words and will add to their learning as we learn in lessons to come.
My student teacher found a foldable within a unit on waves to help her in her planning of the unit. By adding the words to their journal in this way in makes the note taking process fun. Any format for adding the words to their journal will do. Each word is read and a definition given. Once this has occurred, students will get the chance to provide an example or discuss any connections they might have made.
Science Journal Checks
Students do not all take notes at the same rate. When giving the definitions, I write them onto the white board. Students can then take their time and add the notes to their own style. It gives them ownership to the new learning. While they add their words and definitions, the monitoring and walking around the room to help students stay on track is very beneficial. I can then help those that need it and offer further information to students with special needs.

"The century's greatest political mysteries explained! The strange history of Maos' Chicago gangster brother and evil doppelganger revealed! And what about those recent sitings of Elvis and the beatific 103 year old Mao in a Dubuque K-Mart? Film maker Szilveszter Siklosi's hilariously demented brand of historical revisionism interweaves "real" history, carefully edited archival footage, fake "expert witnesses,"and straightfaced academic blather to demonstrate that in an age of electronic reproduction, anything is possible and everything is dangerously close to believable." (G. Handman, American Libraries, March 1997) 1994. 54 min. Video/C 4637
"...No Lies is more than just a critique of the verite style. When the credits appear at the end of the film and provide the only clue that the film is a "fake" 'not a "real"' documentary, the first-time viewer may be more than a little puzzled. Eitzen writes that the film adheres so rigorously to documentary form that first-time viewers who were unaware of the film's true nature often become "visibly disturbed" at how the character of the filmmaker treats the woman. Upon being told that it is a fiction film, these same people redirect much of their anger to Mitchell Block, the man who made the film. "Viewers now feel angry at having been duped," he writes. Eitzen attributes this anger to the fact that the film lies about its true nature. It pretends to be a documentary, but is not. He states that No Lies is "a fiction film about rape, but it is a documentary about documentaries. But No Lies is unusual among mock documentaries, as it has the power to enrage its viewers by its central deception. Also, its principal goal is to dupe the audience, something not found in such extreme measures in later mock documentaries (though Man Bites Dog (1991) and Forgotten Silver (1996) come close)."

Inter Milan striker Samuel Eto'O is expected to pass his medical examination today and sign for Anzhi Makhachkala.
Speaking to Sports.ru correspondent Denis Bystrov, Eto'O's agent Claudio Vigorelli confirmed the reports that the agreement between Anzhi and Inter about the player's transfer had been reached and that the Cameroonian will officially become an Anzhi player today after his medical examination is complete.
Vigorelli denied the reports alleging that Eto'O would live separately from the rest of the team. There had been reports about some special conditions provided by Samuel's contract that were published in the media, saying that he would not live with the team but this has been denied.
It is believed that the transfer will be €21 million.

|Home | Mission | about SciDAC | Contact Us
Current efforts in climate modeling and climate science are generating massive amounts of data that are distributed across the globe. Under SciDAC-1 the Earth System Grid (ESG) was developed and deployed to make climate simulation data easily accessible to the climate modeling community. The Earth System Grid (ESG) currently has 2,300 registered users and manages 140 terabytes of data. It is estimated that more than 200 scientific publications are under way from analysis of ESG-delivered data in the past year alone. Despite these successes, ESG faces significant challenges in coming years as the size, complexity, and number of climate datasets grow dramatically. The goals of this proposed five-year project are to (a) sustain the successful existing ESG system, (b) address projected scientific needs for data management and analysis, (c) extend ESG to support the major Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment in 2010, (d) support the Climate Science Computational End Station at the DOE Leadership Computing Facility at ORNL, and (e) support climate model evaluation activities under the proposed SciDAC-2 climate application. To do this, we will broaden ESG to support multiple types of model and observational data, provide more powerful (client-side) ESG access and analysis services, enhance interoperability between common climate analysis tools and ESG, and enable end-to-end simulation and analysis workflow.
This project has relevance to efforts to deliver improved climate data and models for policy makers to determine safe levels of greenhouse gases in the Earths atmosphere and to reduce differences between observed and model simulated temperatures at sub-continental scales, based on the use of several decades of recent data. This project will improve access to and utility of datasets to support the Department of Energys contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment in 2010.
Center for Enabling Technology: Distributed Computing
Project Title: Scaling the Earth System Grid to Petascale Data Center for Enabling Technologies
Principal Investigator: N. Dean Williams

Xbox Live is wonderful, its gilled vertiginous with the algae growth of a thousand game developers releasing new titles and downloadable content. Its payment systems? Decidedly less so. Transactions are conducted in monopoly money called Microsoft Points, which needs to be bought in lump sums and then traded for purchasable items.
There's reasons Microsoft operates this way. For one thing, Microsoft Points are only purchasable in lump sums, and the chance is always pretty good that you will pay for more than you need to buy what you want. But it's also a purposefully obfuscating method of transaction that is bad for the consumer: Microsoft hides the real cost of purchases behind an arbitrarily assigned point cost. Not only does this mean it's harder for customers to figure out how much money they are actually spending on a given piece of content, but it allows Microsoft to jack up the price occasionally without garnering the same sort of attention a dollars-and-cents price jump might accrue.
Still, Amazon now has you covered if you like paying real money instead of Microsoft moon man coinage. Starting Wednesday, Amazon expanded its digital content to include being able to purchase Xbox Live Arcade games for real world money.
The system is a bit clunky, unfortunately: if you buy a title off of Amazon, you receive a code in exchange, which must then be manually (and tediously) entered into your system. It would be nice if you could link your Amazon account with your Xbox Live account. Still, at least it pulls aside the obfuscating veil that makes Xbox Live games seem so nebulously priced.
