The Awesome Oscillator for Simonds Group Limited (SIO.AX) is showing a five day consistent downtrend, signaling building market momentum for the shares. Author and trader Bill Williams created The Awesome Oscillator Indicator (AO) and outlined the theory and calculation in his book "New Trading Dimensions". The indicator shows the difference between two simple moving averages that can help define moving strength of the market. Bill Williams developed this indicator on the basis of earlier existed MACD and made a number of changes. The Awesome Oscillator subtracts a 34 period simple moving average (SMA) from a 5 period SMA. It illustrates what's happening to the market driving force at the present moment. The interpretation is similar to MACD including buying when the oscillator crosses through the zero line to the upside and selling when it crosses back below. Of course, this will result is many false signals in flat or choppy markets. As with most indicators, the AO is best used alongside additional technical signals.
Successful stock market traders and investors don't usually just become that way overnight. There are often many years of experience behind those winning trades. The amount of data available to investors these days is staggering. Investors have to be able to focus on the provided information and decide which data should be followed and prioritized. Many investors will be keeping a watchful eye on the next round of company earnings reports. As companies start to report quarterly numbers, investors may be able to sift through the data and make some projections on how the stock will perform over the next few quarters.
Technical traders often make a point of keeping an eye on the ATR or Average True Range as well. Currently, Simonds Group Limited (SIO.AX) has a 14-day ATR of 0.01. The Average True Range is an investor tool used to measure stock volatility. The ATR is not used to figure out price direction, just to measure volatility. The ATR is an indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder. Wilder has developed multiple indicators that are still quite popular in today's investing landscape. The general interpretation of the ATR is the higher the ATR value, the higher the volatility.
The Williams Percent Range or Williams %R is another technical indicator worth checking out. Simonds Group Limited (SIO.AX) currently has a 14 day Williams %R of -66.67. The Williams %R fluctuates between 0 and -100 measuring whether a security is overbought or oversold. The Williams %R is similar to the Stochastic Oscillator except it is plotted upside-down. Levels above -20 may indicate the stock may be considered is overbought. If the indicator travels under -80, this may signal that the stock is oversold. Chart analysts may also use the indicator to project possible price reversals and to define trends.
The Average Directional Index or ADX is technical analysis indicator used to discern if a market is trending or not trending. The ADX alone measures trend strength but not direction. Using the ADX with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) may help determine the direction of the trend as well as the overall momentum. Many traders will use the ADX alongside other indicators in order to help spot proper trading entry/exit points. Currently, the 14-day ADX for Simonds Group Limited (SIO.AX) is 31.40. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would indicate a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would signal a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would indicate an extremely strong trend.
Traders may be leaning on technical stock analysis to help with investing decisions. Simonds Group Limited (SIO.AX) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -60.91. Despite the name, CCI can be used on other investment tools such as stocks. The CCI was designed to typically stay within the reading of -100 to +100. Traders may use the indicator to determine stock trends or to identify overbought/oversold conditions. A CCI reading above +100 would imply that the stock is overbought and possibly ready for a correction. On the other hand, a reading of -100 would imply that the stock is oversold and possibly set for a rally.
Traders are paying renewed attention to shares of Simonds Group Limited (SIO.AX). The current 14-day RSI is presently sitting at 53.46, the 7-day is 44.81, and the 3-day is 26.67. The RSI, or Relative Strength Index is a popular oscillating indicator among traders and investors. The RSI operates in a range-bound area with values between 0 and 100. When the RSI line moves up, the stock may be experiencing strength. The opposite is the case when the RSI line is heading lower. Different time periods may be used when using the RSI indicator. The RSI may be more volatile using a shorter period of time. Many traders keep an eye on the 30 and 70 marks on the RSI scale. A move above 70 is widely considered to show the stock as overbought, and a move below 30 would indicate that the stock may be oversold. Traders may use these levels to help identify stock price reversals.

One of the principal tasks of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is research aimed at the protection of the environment. Scientists here develop technologies and concepts to improve our living conditions and to make them more environmentally friendly. DLR has taken on numerous challenges for 2010, including research on alternative aviation fuels and a satellite that will test innovative components for future space missions. This article gives an overview of DLR's research objectives for 2010.
"DLR and its research network are facing enormous national and international challenges in 2010. In a competitive world, it is increasingly important to demonstrate our scientific, technical and technological capabilities," explains Prof. Johann-Dietrich Wörner, Chairman of the Board of DLR. "The performance of an exporting nation like Germany is increasingly dependent on its basic and applied research capacity. Networking these capacities with industry, transforming the results of pure research into industrial applications and engaging industry ever more closely with pure research – these are clear objectives of DLR's mission for 2010. And a fundamental prerequisite for this is a clear political direction and the will to build existing core competencies into scientific and business capacity," says Wörner.
DLR is an integral part of the German research and industrial landscape. Projects in applied and fundamental research must be interdisciplinary, and involve various institutions and research areas.
DLR's research into aviation attains its direction from the European strategy document 'Vision 2020' and its national annex, 'Aviation 2020'. One of the core concerns is the reduction of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions by 50 and 80 percent respectively. In this area, DLR, with its institutes and research facilities, has the capacity to handle the full spectrum of aviation system challenges.
Environmentally friendly and economically viable passenger aircraft
The passenger aircraft of the future must be ecological and economically viable. Scientists at DLR have investigated a future engine concept using extensive simulations and evaluated it in detail. The studies confirm that open rotors – that is, propeller engines without a rotor cowling – represent a realistic and energy efficient alternative for future generations of passenger aircraft. The collaboration between the DLR Institute for Aerodynamics and Fluid Dynamics at Braunschweig and the Cologne Institute for Engine Technology has highlighted the potential of the Contra-Rotating Open Rotor (CROR) concept in particular. This is an engine equipped with two propellers, one behind the other, rotating in opposite directions. In contrast to the turbofan engines normally used in civil aviation, CROR has no cowling over the rotors.
Lightweight, high-strength aerospace materials
A further decisive factor in the efficiency of civil aircraft and in emissions reductions is the weight of the aircraft itself. This can be significantly affected by employing new, lighter and yet even stronger materials. DLR has been working on the development of a carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) for several years. Such a material would give its users a significant competitive advantage in the growing civil aviation market. It is currently predicted that more than 25,000 new aircraft will be deployed over the next 20 years. If we look just at Airbus, this would mean an annual requirement for CFRP valued at more than one billion Euros. DLR, with its scientific and industrial partners, will establish Centres for Lightweight Construction (Zentrums für Leichtbauproduktion; ZLP) in Staade and Augsburg this year.
Zero gravity experiments, exploration of other planets, monitoring the environment from space – DLR's spaceflight activities include activities aimed at ensuring the continuation of conditions for human life on Earth and fundamental research of our planet and the Universe.
This year will mark the end of the Shuttle Programme, the completion of the International Space Station (ISS) and the launch of the first Soyuz from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, as well as the start of construction of the European satellite navigation system, Galileo. DLR has developed the nose-cone heat shield for the capsule of the European EXPERT technology mission (European eXPErimental Reentry Testbed) scheduled for launch in November.
Waste disposal in space
It is not just space junk and antiquated satellites that are tumbling around in orbit. Modern communications satellites can also run out of fuel. When that happens, although they may still be fully functional, they are no longer able to keep their orbits stable. The scientists at the DLR Institute for Robotics and Mechatronics and personnel from the German Space Operations Center (GSOC) in Oberpfaffenhofen have developed a procedure with EPOS (European Proximity Operations Simulator) that enables such satellites to be captured, powered up and controlled.
In the context of the On-Orbit Verification (OOV) programme, part of the German space programme, the TET satellite (Technology Tester) will test new technologies and components in space. The small TET satellite, the core element of the programme, will test new satellite components for use on future missions for the first time. TET was conceived in Germany and built as a collaborative undertaking between DLR and the space industry. The first satellite, TET-1, integrates eleven different technology payloads. These include new battery systems, GPS receivers and solar cells as well as an infrared camera and a drive system. TET-1, which will remain in orbit for a year, will be launched at the end of 2010 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Energy is essential to industrial society, since it is the basis for all our everyday activities. Increasing prices for fossil fuels and looming climate change confirm the urgency of taking action. Increasingly evident bottlenecks in energy provision and the changed political priorities of individual countries have led to the concept of sustainability being augmented by the concept of energy security.
Energy storage – a key role in the energy supply of tomorrow
Electrical, thermal as well as chemical energy storage devices will be central to the future of energy supply and mobility. DLR has research and development programmes in all three types of storage. Storing energy enables us to decouple supply and demand and considerably increase the contribution of renewable sources. DLR is collaborating in this area with RWE and General Electric.
The market for solar-thermal power plants is developing very dynamically. The Center is playing a role in the development of various power plant components and new concepts, especially in the area of solar towers. DLR's researchers in Cologne have quality tested important components, such as mirrors and absorber pipes, for solar-thermal manufacturers and customers on their test stands and large test facilities. DLR has had significant success with the announcement of the DESERTEC concept, based on research run by the DLR Institute for Technical Thermodynamics.
Decentralised power stations and energy concepts will play a large role in our future energy supplies. Coupled generation of current and heat, in particular, means highly efficient use of fuel. With energy supply company EnBW, DLR has established a platform for research in this area, which is also open for additional partners.
'The future of energy' – Year of Science 2010
This year has been designated the 'Year of Energy' by the German Federal Government. DLR is taking part in this initiative with numerous projects. These include lectures, presentations for school and university students, participation in 'MS Wissenschaft' programmes, Internet games and other internet activities and information programmes. Among other initiatives, science journalist Jan Oliver Löfken answers a new question every week about energy on DLR's Energy Blog. Readers are invited to send in their own questions about energy.
The transport industry is a pillar of our industrial society. It satisfies the need for individual mobility and generates employment as well as a significant portion of GDP. New engine technologies will not replace efficient internal combustion engines for the foreseeable future, but will be important supplementary solutions. In the medium to long term, various types of electronic motors are a particularly promising option. DLR covers almost the entire range of priority areas in transport and energy associated with the development and deployment of electric motors; from low emissions power generation, behaviour, demand and network analyses, to vehicle concepts and concrete technical deployment proposals, including analysis of life cycles and environmental impacts. Given an intelligent integration with the grid and renewable sources, electric motors can even satisfy energy and climate policy objectives. Low-emission power generation is crucial to the environmental aspects of this technology.
Safety at airports
DLR has been working successfully for several years to integrate ground and airside management processes in airports. The aim is to significantly increase the punctuality, reliability and safety of airport traffic. On the ground side, procedures have been developed to take a snapshot of the current situation at an airport, evaluate it and simulate future development to discover fundamental bottlenecks. The FAMOUS II project aims to further develop and implement theoretical studies into concrete applications. This also involves developing innovative security and safety technologies and methods in airports.
New tunnel simulation facility at Göttingen
In recent years, DLR has established itself as a competent partner research for railway manufacturing companies and operators. With the Next Generation Train and Next Generation Railway System projects, DLR has played a role in determining research themes and trends in railway trains and operations. DLR's competitive positioning in the railway industry will be further improved by this year's inauguration of its tunnel simulation and side-wind test facilities at Göttingen.
The objective of DLR's security research programmes is to improve the civil security of Germany and to strengthen the German contribution to international activities. Innovations in this area are not simply technical, but include new organizational concepts and action strategies. It follows that interdisciplinary projects, which link these themes together, are at the centre of DLR's activities. Contributions include all areas of activity, for instance air traffic security (aviation/traffic), catastrophe management (spaceflight) and traffic management during large-scale disasters (traffic). DLR has core competencies in all essential system areas, for example, in Earth observation, robotics and communications.
DLR launches a new stipend programme
Young German high school graduates can now apply for acceptance into the DLR's 'German Trainee Programme'. This stipend programme, developed by DLR together with the European Space Agency (ESA) for young students with primarily technical and scientific educational backgrounds, offers excellent opportunities for acceptance into spaceflight programmes. The programme's long-term aim is to increase the participation of young German scientists in ESA activities. It thus supports the German Federal Government's objective of increasing German staff numbers in international organisations.

Got the winter blues? Let there be light
By JASON SCHREIBER

Got the blues this winter?
If so, you're not alone.
The bone-chilling temperatures and relentless snowstorms that have plagued New England are taking a toll on even the hardiest Granite Staters.
Seasonal depression is real, and this year it's bad, according to local therapists on the front lines of this personal battle with Mother Nature.
"It's really hard up here. It's dark. It's cold. It's really unpleasant out, and as much as you try not to let the weather affect your mood, when you have a cold spell like we've had this year and with the darkness, it's really hard to avoid it," said Dr. Karen Gillock, a clinical psychologist with a private practice in Lebanon.
Gillock and other therapists are seeing elements of the winter blues commonly referred to in the medical community as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Seasonal depression tends to worsen during the fall and peak in the winter months. It improves in the spring and summer.
The University of New Hampshire tries to help students and staff cope by offering free light therapy.
Provided by UNH Health Services, the light therapy can be an effective way to beat the blues.
Users can schedule sessions lasting anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours with a light box. Those seeking the treatment sit with their eyes open and read, write, or simply relax.
Experts say light therapy mimics sunshine and can help improve a person's mood.
The university has seen more students taking light therapy this winter. Not all have been diagnosed with SAD, according to Kathleen Grace-Bishop, director of education and promotion at UNH Health Services.
While some students and staff have tried the therapy and decided it wasn't for them, Grace-Bishop said others schedule regular appointments.
"I think for everyone it's different," she said. "For some they find it very useful."
Dr. Carl Hindy, a clinical psychologist who practices in Nashua, has his own therapy light on his desk, but not because he's depressed. He arrives early in the morning when it's cold and dark and needs a desk light, so he figured he might as well use a therapy light.
"It certainly has a pleasant effect," he said.
People who suffer from SAD experience lower serotonin levels while melatonin levels are higher. Hindy said serotonin is a neurotransmitter; low levels are commonly associated with depression.
"For some people they certainly have a greater proneness to this and they may have more of this quasi-hibernation," he said.
Though it's hard to quantify, Hindy said the "quasi-hibernation" many people experience in the winter could be a contributing factor.
"There is an indication that the (therapy) lights work, but there's also indication that if you're physically active out in the light, that's even more effective. One hour outdoors in sun may be better than two to three hours with a lamp," he said.
"Even just a walk out at lunchtime or a walk to the bus stop can help."

Fans of Stockton's tiki history are celebrating the discovery of a long-lost and venerated artifact: the 6-foot tiki head that stood outside The Islander.
Fans of Stockton's tiki history are celebrating the discovery of a long-lost and venerated artifact: the 6-foot tiki head that stood outside The Islander.
The moai head, as it is properly called, proves the gods work in mysterious ways. The vanished monolith has been in Stockton all its 26 missing years.
"I found it!" David Jon Foster, a tiki buff and researcher, cheered on the Tiki Central website. "I have been hunting this sacred tiki for a long time. ... The gods are with me."
Stockton has a surprisingly rich history of tiki, the post World War II craze of kitschy Polynesian-style restaurants and clubs. The Islander was the King Kamehameha of these establishments.
Designed by Stockton architect Warren Wong, the exotic building hosted a running luau in Lincoln Center South from 1963 to 1983. The vacant building was moved in 1986.
In an architecturally blasphemous act that probably angered the gods, it was demolished in 2010.
Tiki heads love The Islander. They post articles about it, argue over facts and scour California for such artifacts as Islander postcards, menus, float lamps and cocktail mugs.
The moai head is the big kahuna of these coveted items. An imposing hardwood monolith, it was carved by Richard M. Ellis, an artisan who worked for Oceanic Arts, a renowned tiki supply house in Whittier.
Ellis gave the head the dignified but inscrutable visage of authentic Polynesian moai. But he added a touch of fun by endowing it with a 5-foot schnozz.
The head's whereabouts has long been the subject of speculation. Foster stumbled onto it.
"Oh, man, it was just awesome," Foster said. "I could just hardly believe my luck."
An artist, Foster was talking tiki at a recent art reception in Lockeford. "This old man approached me and said, 'Hey, I got one of those Islander tikis in my yard.' "
Eureka. "What luck," Foster bubbled. "Is that crazy?"
The tiki's owner is Verdell "Sam" Austin.
A Stockton contractor, Austin, 78, is a lifelong friend of Neal Pollard, the entrepreneur and founder of Pollardville, who bought the Islander building in 1986.
Pollard moved it to Pollardville, his roadside attraction on Hwy. 99 outside Stockton. But he gave away some Islander accessories.
The moai he gave to Austin.
"It was just different," Austin said. "Not that I'm a tiki head. I didn't know there was anything significant about it."
Austin remembered that lifting the head, 6 feet of hardwood log, took four men. The indignity possibly displeased the god. "It bent the tailgate of my pickup," Austin ruefully recalled.
Austin planted the head in the backyard of his north Stockton home. The backyard has a sweeping vista of rolling golf links.
So there you go: For the past 26 years, the missing moai has been gazing majestically over the back nine of Elkhorn Golf Club.
It has probably had to endure some knocks from the flying golf balls, too, said Susan Austin, Sam's wife.
"They hit the roof," she said. "They hit the side of the house. They hit the patio. They hit out front. They hit the skylight. I'm sure the tiki has been hit, but he hasn't said anything."
Aside from golf balls, nobody disturbed the head during its 26-year idyll. But the head disturbed at least one person: a man from Hawaii the Austins hired to do backyard work.
The man halted, full of superstitious fear, when he spotted the head.
"If it's not facing in the right direction, all sorts of bad stuff can happen," the man stammered. "I ain't coming back there!"
The tiki community applauded the discovery.
"Of course it's a huge find," said Colleen Weidman, a Ripon resident and Islander researcher who identified the carver. "It was surrounded in mystery, kind of like folklore: What happened to the moai?"
Islander designer Warren Wong, now 87, was tickled by the tiki head's resurrection, too.
"It's like life," he said mystically, "because it regenerates itself."
The fuss may seem silly. But The Islander has gained recognition as a classic of American tiki architecture.
It certainly was one of Stockton's most distinctive buildings, said Wes Swanson, chairman of the Cultural Heritage Board,
"Were it intact today, it would easily be recognized as a Structure of Merit, and probably qualify for landmark status," Swanson said.
Sam Austin said he'll take better care of the big guy now that he knows it's a VIP.
"Maybe I'll put some linseed oil on it," he said.

Let's Grow
Michael Graber
Entrepreneurialism is the last frontier – an uncharted region with unprecedented, unforeseen, unknown dangers, challenges and rewards.
All adventures begin with a new map, just like the territory you charted in your business plans. You drafted this plan in the ardor of a visionary impulse, tempered with a will to thrive as you grow.
The world is in too short a supply of courage and craves its heroes, its success stories. Perhaps your story will become a light in our constellation of capitalism, a story that inspires generations, like the ones of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Fred Carl of Viking Range, or Fred Smith of FedEx.
For the real, budding businessperson, there is no choice. You know you can do something better, create a more useful product or service. The status quo won't cut it. You're propelled to create a better way by aptitude, circumstance, drive or a combination of all three forces. Here's the real reason why.
In this new world, you learn who you are, what you're worth, your capacity, who you can trust, and you come to realize, with earned depth and from experience, what things really mean. You can invent your future.
Invent: You must possess a mindset that allows quantum leaps. This is the taproot of the creative process. To invent requires skill, knowledge and passion. You must be able to lose sense of time when solving a problem while having the ability to zoom in and zoom out. You zoom into the smallest details of an invention-in-process and then zoom out to see its broadest potential market application, keeping one eye on the product and the other on the market. You adapt, as the actual finish line is not yet on the map.
Your: The key word here is you. The tense is possessive. You possess a sense of mission, a calling. You do not sacrifice your integrity for the illusion of security. You take risks because you believe in what you are doing. As a result, you trust yourself and others are willing to bet on you. You leave the safety of tenure or the golden handcuffs of a corporate job to own your own destiny. You don't have a back-up plan.
Future: The future is the frontier you have begun to map out. Often a new map – a new way of seeing – is placed over an old map and a new era is born. The keys to this future are always found right at hand, in the present moment. Your future is defined by the actions you take today.
Let us end by telling you about a fellow adventurer, a personal star in our constellation, Michael's maternal grandfather, Leo Brody. He had to turn down a full scholarship to Vanderbilt University to support his mother and two sisters. While working at a pawnshop on Beale Street he started repairing luggage. Along the way, he dismantled pieces, put them back together better than before, and an idea struck him like lightning. Travel was the new paradigm. Planes, trains and automobiles had replaced boats and more travelers were on the new roads.
He hustled his way to Chicago and New York with his map in hand. He sold all the large department stores on private label luggage. During the heyday of his company, it produced 2.4 million pieces of luggage a week. At his funeral it was stated he was one of the rare individuals possessed with a vision and the will to manifest it. In other words, he invented his future.
Now, it's your turn. Such a life is not for the lily livered or faint of heart, but the treasures are too varied to describe in a short column. Take the step. Follow your calling. The world needs you. Besides, you cannot deny the adventure another second.

The Gadsden Police Department has new gear that will help officers keep a better eye on crowds and also help them get to remote locations where teenagers are known to drink.
The Gadsden Police Department has new gear that will help officers keep a better eye on crowds and also help them get to remote locations where teenagers are known to drink.
The T3 Patroller is an electric stand-up vehicle that can travel up to 15 mph. It will assist officers during events like First Friday and RiverFest. In addition to moving the officers quickly if need be, the vehicle will put them in a better position to observe what is going on in large crowds.
The vehicle cost $9,500 and was paid for by a grant from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs' Underage Drinking Fund program. Lt. Wayne Keener said 14 officers will be trained on the vehicle: eight patrol officers, one school resource officer, two Special Projects Team officers and three instructors.
Keener said the vehicle will work in conjunction with bicycle officers. The Patroller, however, won't be riding exclusively with bikes for too long.
"We will try to get at least one more so officers can go in pairs," Keener said. "It's for the safety of the officers."
He said one of the advantages of the Patroller over a Segway, a similar vehicle, is that equipment for the officers can be carried. They would be able to bring extra handcuffs, breathalyzers, reporting gear and other small items. The vehicle also has LED flashing lights, a headlight, a siren and turn indicators. He described it as a "one-person mobile unit."
The vehicle is not without its drawbacks. It has limited range, so if it needs to be brought to remote areas to combat underage drinking, it will have to be put on a trailer. It also cannot go on roads with a speed limit over 25 mph and is water-resistant but not waterproof, which means rain will keep it from being used for now.
Officer Guy Frondorf was one of those who began training on the vehicle Thursday. He ran several slaloms as well as narrow places to turn around, taking advantage of the Patroller's zero-turning radius features.
"It comes pretty natural when you make a few runs (through the course)," Frondorf said. "With the zero turning, it feels kind of iffy, but you just have to trust it."
Keener said he thinks this vehicle is one of the first of its kind in Northeast Alabama. The department will break it out for the first time for the First Friday in April.
"It will make our officers more effective without fatigue," Keener said.

Burma monk Shin Gambira 'faces legal action'
Burmese monk Shin Gambira, one of the leaders of anti-government protests in 2007, will face fresh legal action, according to state media.
He is accused of staying in a monastery that had been sealed by the authorities and of breaking into two others.
Gambira had been released as part of an amnesty last month, but continued his criticism of the civilian, military-backed government.
He was briefly detained earlier this month before being released again.
The state-run New Light of Myanmar said that after questioning Gambira was taken to senior monks who reprimanded him for his behaviour, news agency AFP reports.
The senior monks "wished for legal actions" against him after he admonished them for not helping jailed monks, according to the New Light.
Reports in state media also accused Gambira of rejoining his religious order without requesting authorisation, Reuters news agency reports.
Gambira's brother Aung Kyaw Kyaw, told Reuters on Sunday that he had had no news of the developments reported in the state-run press.
Hard labour
One of the leaders of the All-Burmese Monks Alliance, Gambira was arrested in November 2007, weeks after the monk-led ''saffron revolution'' protests were crushed.
Less than three weeks later, he was sentenced to 68 years, including 12 of hard labour.
He was one of 651 people freed on 13 January in what was the most significant release of political prisoners since the country began a series of reforms aimed at encouraging the lifting of sanctions imposed by the European Union and United States.
In interviews after his release, Gambira expressed deep scepticism about reforms taking place in Burma.
Parliamentary by-elections are due to take place in April, with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi standing for a seat in parliament.
EU Development Commissioner Andris Piebalgs said this week that sanctions on Burma could be eased if the elections were free and fair.

First Person
Other People's ChurchesBy Rachael Maddux
"Close your eyes," the man told us, and we did. "If you died today, do you know for sure if you would go to heaven? If you don't, raise your hand." When my hand curled slowly into the air, two strangers rushed over to me, kneeling one on either side of my metal folding chair, as if I'd just been struck down on a busy street. They greeted me in warm, soft tones. One opened a small leather-bound book and ran her fingers along the close-set type, then inclined the page towards me. She underlined a passage with her fingernail and commanded me to read it.
For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord, and believe in your own heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in his heart that a man becomes right with God; and with his mouth he tells others of his faith, confirming his salvation.
At my feet, the two strangers blinked up at me expectantly. "I think I misunderstood the question," I lied, because I hadn't. Read More

It's believed to be the first "atheist church" and it is scheduled to hold its first "service" on Sunday in London, according to a report from The Christian Institute.
"Stand-up comedians Sanderson Jones and Pippa Evans, who are behind the 'church,' say they like many aspects of religion but don't believe in God," the Institute reported yesterday.
So no problem. They've created plans for now for a once-a-month meeting for those who, well, don't believe.
"We thought it would be a shame not to enjoy the good stuff about religion, like the sense of community, just because of a theological disagreement," Jones said in a report by the Institute.
The result? "It's part atheist church and part foot-stomping show. There will be a speaker on a theme each month but there will also be an awesome house band, which Pippa will lead. We'll be helping people try and stick to their new year's resolutions in the first service."
The plans just went too far for the Rev. Saviour Grech, of St. Peter and St. Paul Roman Catholic Church.
Read the stunning "You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence, But You Can't Make Him Think" from author Ray Comfort, or Comfort's "God Doesn't Believe in Atheists.
"How can you be an atheist and worship in a church? Surely it's a contradiction of terms. Who will they be singing to?" he said. "It is important to debate and engage with atheists but for them to establish a church like any other religious denomination is going too far."
According to a report in the Islington Gazette, the group will meet in the Nave in St. Paul's Road, Canonbury. Services will begin now and weddings and funerals will follow, planners said.
The comics report they will invite speakers to talk on a theme each month. Their first guest will be a children's book author.

Here are the events of the OFL coming up
Optional email code
Just as workers unite in a union to protect their rights, so also do unions unite in central labour bodies to fight for better working and living conditions. The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) is the province's "house of labour" and serves as an umbrella group for working people and their unions.
From its inception in 1957, the OFL has grown to represent over one million Ontario workers belonging to more than 1,500 locals from 54 affiliated unions, making it Canada's largest provincial labour federation. The OFL's strong membership and militancy makes it a formidable political voice.
The OFL pushes for legislative change in every area that affects people's daily lives, including health, education, workplace safety, minimum wage and other employment standards, human rights, women's rights, workers' compensation, and pensions. It also makes regular presentations and submissions to the Ontario government and mounts internal and public awareness campaigns to mobilize the kind of political pressure that secures positive change for all workers – whether or not they belong to a union.

Hey everyone,
If you wanna search better on google try some of the things I talk about one this tut . Everything here is going to be about this site www.google.com. Well here goes nothing.
Some of googles myths:
1) Google's index is a snapshot of all that there is online.
No, not even google knows everything that is on the web. Every sec there is a new web site up, so it is impossible for google to keep up with the populion of the Internet.
2) Everything on the web is credible.
No it is not, There are things on the Internet that are just plan wrong.
3)Googles content filtering will protect you from offensive material.
HA, Even tho googles filtering is good, it's not perfect.
Generally speaking there is two types of search engines on the Internet. The first one is called the searchable subject index. Which is a kind of search engine that only searches titles and descriptions of sites and it doesn't search individual pages. Yahoo is a searchable subject index. Then there are full-text search engines which are computerized "spiders" which contain around millions and billions of pages. These pages can be searched by title or content, allowing for much more searches then searchable subject index. Google is a full-text search engine, that is why google is the best search engine in the world.
Whenever you search for more then one keyword at a time (e.x john brown AND bob heart) the search engine has a default method of how it handles the keyword. Will the search go of both keywords or for either keyword? The answer is called a Boolean default, the search engine can default to Boolean AND (it will search for both keywords) or Boolean, OR (It will search for either keyword). Of course even if a search engine defaults to searching for both keywords (e.x AND) you can give a command to intrust it to search for either keyword (e.x OR). A search engine has to know what to do if you don't give instructions.
Basic Boolean and or Commands
Google's Boolean default is AND that means if you enter a query word without modifiers, google will search for all of all of them (e.x snowblower Honda "Green Bay").
Google will search for all for the word, if you want to specify that either word is acceptable, you put an OR between each of the words (e.x Snowblower OR snowmobile OR Green Bay).
If you want to definitely have one term and have one of two or more other terms, Group them in parentheses e.x Snowblower (snowmobile OR "Green Bay")
Or try:
snowblower (snowmobile | "Green Bay")
snowblower snowmobile -"Green Bay"
There are a couple of other considerations you will need to keep in mind when searching google. The first thing is that google does not accept more then 10 query word, If you where to try to use more then 10 words they'll be summarily ignored. Second Google does not support stemming, the ability to use asterisk (or other wildcards) in the query term (e.x Three * mice) you would have to search as three blind mice, Three blue mice, and things to that matter.
Some search engines are "case sensitive" that means if you search like this FIREWORKS it will not find fireworks. Google is not case sensitive if you search like this FIREWORKS, Fireworks, fireworks it will come up as the samething.
Search Better
To narrow your search results you are better off using commands, Therefore making it easier on your part.
How do I use them??
Easy on the main page of google you will see a search box, After finding what you want (intitle, inurl, etc) write as followed; intitle:whatever or inurl:Fireworks,etc, etc. Here are the commands you can use:
intitle: (restricts your search to the titles of web sites) or allintitle:
inurl: (Restricts your search to just the URLs of web sites) or allinurl:
intext: (Searches just in the body. e.x URLs, link text, and so on) or allintext:inanchor: (searches for text in the pages links anchors)
site: (allows you to narrow your search by a site or a top-level domain)
link: (returns a list of pages linking to a specified URL)
cache: (Finds a copy of the page that google indexed even if that page is no longer available)
daterange: (Limits your search to a particular date or range of dates that when the page was indexed)
filetype: (This searches the suffixes or filename extensions)

The Lamar University department of history will host the fourth annual Regional History Day competition on Thursday, Feb. 14, attracting students from high schools and middle schools across Southeast Texas.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
For this week's New York Times crossword puzzle, pick up a copy of this week's The Examiner on newsstands now.

slow commute for me - was going on at a nice pace up coot-tha. got half way up and knew the pace was about to disappear so just cruised the rest of the way.
bike ran REALLY nice with a new chain, clean cassette, clean crank, and relubed bottom bracket. pity about the bloke pushing the thing.

UNH police chief gives tips on surviving campus shooting
By GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
DURHAM - University of New Hampshire Police Chief Paul Dean wants staff, faculty and students to feel comfortable taking action if ever involved in a campus shooting.
It was a point that he hammered home Wednesday afternoon during a presentation to faculty and staff on surviving an active shooter event on campus.
More than 100 people attended, and a second session has been scheduled for March 19 from 1 to 2:15 p.m.
Dean talked about the "outs," namely, getting out, hiding out or "taking out."
With a campus-wide ban on weapons, including firearms and pepper spray, some staff questioned how they should fight back.
The idea of "taking someone out" is about a mind-set of believing it is OK to attack, whether with a book or backpack or as a group, if the situation were to arise, Dean said.
Dean said, "You have to find a way to protect yourself and do what you can to survive."
Not everyone was pleased with the response.
Professor Jimmy Raeder told Dean he found the information contradictory.
"You can't hide out and take out at the same time," Raeder said. "What are we supposed to do?" He asked Dean to define "whatever it takes."
Dean said that was individual.
Other staff felt the presentation gave them important things to think about, including creating plans for each office and department in the event of an emergency.
