1.The shopping paradise China
2.Options to Buy Good Quality Promotional Gifts from China Wholesalers
3.Essential to Know about Shipping Products from Shenzhen, China to USA
4.Checking out Promotional Gifts from China to be offered to your Employees
5.How can Customized Promotional Gifts improve my advertising?.
Essential to Know about Shipping Products from Shenzhen, China to USAAmerican companies have now started to increasingly look for the far eastern countries for product purchase to enjoy the real cost reduction benefits. China is a leading manufacturing nation, which is into wholesale of products at the cheapest rates than any other parts of the world. In the past few years, it was Shenzhen in China, which had grown rapidly as one of the top five container ports in the world. This itself shows the demand of Chinese products globally. At olden times, the Chinese wholesale business to US was a bit dull, but lately there has been a growing demand for the Chinese wholesale imports to the United States and the shipping process has got much simplified.
Even those who are not having much knowledge about international shipments to US can also make use of a large number of shipping consultants to carry out these affairs. If you are a retailer in US and want to purchase wholesale products at a cheaper rate to increase your profit margin, then there is no better place to buy than China. The concern initially was of the quality of the products, but that doubt also got eradicated now and businesses all over the world largely depend on Chinese products to meet their needs. From electronic equipment to clothing, there is a wide range of products on offer with the China manufacturers. You can simply search for the wholesale merchants online and can view the product descriptions and prices through these websites. There is also an option to have some good bargains on the wholesale deals.
Get a good shipping partner
If you planning for a shipment from Shenzhen China to any US ports, then at the first point itself, the need is to find out a reliable shipping company at your locality that has got international shipping license. You can search on the Internet or the local business directories to spot them and communicate with them to find out the best one for you. Contacting them personally is very important in order to check out whether they cover shipments from Shenzhen.
Next, you need to obtain the necessary shipping documents such as the description of the goods, dimensions of the container, weight, invoice from the seller, and the proof of origin. Your shipping company can get the local agents in Shenzhen for arranging the documents from there. Once all the needed paperwork has been done, then you can simply wait for your shipment to reach the port and get it cleared with the help of the shipping company and finally get it delivered at your place.

I guess because I designed IS by using canon technology in ways that is overpowered, I did come up with strange ways to break the system. In a way, like how Star Trek comes up with solutions...
ISpers have an insane advantage in that they know what you are going to do next. Let's pit combat instructor Trinity in an I-type MPIS with just the SAR-X2 SOPMOD rifle and a 4-bit SWORD Equalizer against Mysterious Lady. Even if the MPIS can't overwhelm the defenses, the unit being lighter and simpler can engage the unit in attrition until ML gives up or makes a mistake. Being an ISper helps that along. Being an experienced pilot first and a war veteran second closes the gap some more. And when she stalls long enough, the rest of her squadron would've gotten there. Now let's say it was Marvelous-san who set up the trap, and has Karon and friends Overdrive jump from BVR into melee. All of them have been given plasma disruptor Equalizers. ML is now exhausted by Trinity's assault, and reacts too slowly from being surrounded, and is stunned unconcious. So as long as no one comes to her aid, she's lost because her IS was just too bulky, and that she's just 1 person.
As long as there is a pilot, the IS always has a flaw.

I'd say it's fine for me.
Of course, those who speak/ write English for real might say otherwise...
2. I'm concentrating myself with my college and sacred twins, but I believe I'll post Authorfic and chapter 9 at the same time.
What is MPIS? Something like Uchigane & Raphael?

(And they say Nurse knew how to take care people, Ichika is going to scold me)
As for chapter 9, I might have problem with character interaction, but I'm confident with the battle scenes. It's 33% done so far, 5500 words to go!

I think, you should put a LITTLE of a description, such as: I tried to lose in her in the hallways, didn't work. Tried running into a crowd, she just blew them away (without injuring them of course) and then say, after X minutes of more running away.
I think the girls AKA Ichika's harem are a bit too quiet about this matter, knowing how possessive they are. Although, maybe you should add in Irish whispering to Ichika, "Go along with this for now."

Just needed to know if it's actually plausible enough to write first, didn't want to write an extended fight/escape scene if the draft was too convoluted.
So do you think it's plausibe or too stupid to include?

Anyway, how about we bring all those characters to Dan's place?
You see...Ichika wanted to bring Madoka home to improve her mood further...
But the harem (and Char) is tailing for the twins, mistook it for a date (yes, the girls already saw Madoka as a big threat at this point).
Of course, Ichika visit Dan (Dan and Ran, moreso than Rin, never met Madoka even once), and Dan recognized one of the 'stalker' as Rin. Cue jelly maelstorm happy party with Ran joining.
Meanwhile, Dan and Ichika met their enemies (the guys Ichika sent to hospital for bullying Rin) when they brought Char to arcade. For some reason, they proceed to challenge Ichika in a duel (which obviously a trap, but Dan said he does not afraid).
They're surrounded by 30+ people but those three managed to steamroll them easily, and no I.S. involved.
Umm, is the pacing a little too fast? Just saying.

Also, when ISpers are few and far between, (The entire Metroid Spacey has around 10, and there's no formal way to test the trait beyond the pilot claiming she can feel something backed up by performance in war games) why bother?
(Its a trait I believe to exist in Ichika. Explains why IS reacts to him as well, and all those lol-NEWTYPE reactions he has. So instead of deterring it, people would be focused on making their men ISpers first, before they attempt to find countermeasures.)
That said, IS Perception is limited in the sense that they can only feel strong intent and emotions, which empathic people can already accomplish to an extent. Are these so-called ISpers really a new human being, or just someone very good at reading body language, amplified by the sensors of the IS? The Metroids believe they are, but the rest of the world regard it as hogwash.
Notice how I always like to have neither here nor there themes in my work. It gives me a lot to expound about as the series rolls on. Gotta give you guys something to chew on when I have no harem antics in mind.

And of course, certain sniper duo (Cecil and Madoka) is making a BIG DAMN HEROINES with BB gun, and then Houki and Rin just happen to be there albeit a bit late...
(Especially, Rin, who still hold a grudge toward the guys)

10 people would make a lot more sense. Even if Charles is badass he still wouldn't have been able to take out those robbers without Laura. Make it more like they take out 3 each and Madoka headshots the last one.
@Blitz- Is the draft okay to include or too much of a whiplash?

Sorry guys, but I don't quite get it! The network is maybe the most important part of a cluster setup. And what do you do about it ? "I heard that this card doesn't work right" or "It seems that this card works better". While there is nothing wrong in asking about card/driver combinations on this list, do you ALSO take a look at archives of mailing list devoted to development of these drivers ? And if you have a problem, do you report it on such a list ? Or you just say: "OK, this card/driver combination is just crap, let's change it." ? What if you still have problems after the change - will you make another change ? I encountered the same way of thinking on the NFS list... For reference: http://www.scyld.com/network/index.html has links for drivers (and more) while mailing list archives start at: http://www.scyld.com/mailman/listinfo Going back to the 3Com problem: the driver that was present in kernels up to around 2.2.15 was an old driver, based on Don's 0.99H and modified by different people. It had a race which was only possible to happen in a very narrow window; but 2-3 weeks of uptime under load give this window the opportunity to happen (I know because I had exactly the same problem). Now I have 3C905 B and C cards in UP and SMP nodes which have uptimes of more than 2 months (we do upgrade kernels from time to time). RH 6.1 had the "bad" driver; the original kernel from RH 6.2 also had it, but the updated 2.2.16-3 has the new one; and this is the 3c59x driver, not the 3c90x driver (which is written by 3Com). If you trust Don's drivers more, his 3c59x is available from: http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html and it includes (AFAIK) a fix for this problem and much more.

House Tour: Time to Collect
Salvaged chic [1]
A mix of chairs looks casual around an old farm table. Vintage—and white—items are the heart of the French farmhouse decorating style in this 1909 Illinois home.
Timeless accents [4]
Old pocket watches from a flea market provide a tabletop accent.
Stairway style [7]
The homeowner's timepiece collection extends to a dozen antique and reproduction clock faces climbing the stairway wall.
Architectural add-ons [10]
Displaying architectural pieces, such as an arched window frame, is interior decorator Denise Knickrehm's go-to trick for adding character to her home.
Denise owns the home-decor and clothing shop Denise's Adornments in nearby Geneva, Illinois. Right now, her shop and home feature gloriously romantic whites and creams mixed with French signage and modern industrial metals.
Recycled storage [13]
Hard-sided suitcases store files on a shelving unit.
Organized vintage [16]
Wire baskets attached to an old barnwood plank organize odds and ends above a desk. A framed chalkboard displays quotes.
Reimagined space [19]
A closet becomes a walk-in pantry with built-in cabinets, drawers and open shelves; a hutch just outside holds overflow pieces.
Architectural salvage [22]
Denise and her carpenter husband, Greg, use pediments and pilasters to enhance the plain trim of doorways and windows. Leaning a diamond-paned window inside a kitchen bump-out was a simple way to improve the view.
Unified hue [25]
Denise painted and distressed her kitchen cabinets. If she finds a great item that isn't her beloved white, she paints it.
Repurposed use [28]
Figuring out new ways to use old things is a passion. Here, Denise used tarnished silverware to decorate a lampshade's framework.
Small collectibles [31]
Grouping collections maximizes impact. Denise has flatware, pocket watches, perfume bottles and more. Glass containers show them prettily, but she also uses old pots, pitchers, baskets, trays, and bowls to corral and display.
Master bedroom chic [34]
The master bedroom is one of the few rooms in Denise's house to feature a color other than white; the ceiling is painted a soft blue-gray.
Pretty and practical [37]
Vintage hard-sided suitcases tucked beneath a bedroom side table are pretty and practical. They hold linens and clothes.
Dresser dress-up [40]
Favorite items are grouped on the dresser: a vintage fur collar, a glass jar full of perfume jars and an old tiara.
Laundry decor [43]
Even the laundry room gets an artful touch, with a pretty assemblage of lace-edged linens, a rusty iron and wooden clothespins.
Ladder linens [46]
Snow-white linens hang from a white wood ladder in the laundry room.
Home office organization [49]
Remember library card catalogues? This lookalike cabinet keeps envelopes and paper clips organized in the home office. It's topped with a whimsical mix of used paintbrushes, binoculars and a well-loved derby hat.
Guest bedroom [52]
A vintage dresser gets a makeover with white paint and old-fashioned knobs.
Pinecone vignette [55]
Denise is known for the carefully curated vignettes, such as this basket with cement pinecones, she creates at her shop and her home.
Texture contrast [58]
Mixing textures—rough string, gauzy lace, nubby linen—keeps a monochromatic vignette interesting.
Repurposed tray [61]
What to do with an old tray? Use chalkboard paint to transform it into a wall hanging with ever-changing inspirational sayings.
Farmhouse welcome [64]
With four finished floors, this Bartlett, Illinois, farmhouse has more than enough space for Denise's seven grandchildren to visit.
The rambling, four-level house was a two-flat apartment building when Denise and Greg, bought it. "It was trashed, disgusting and rundown," says Denise, who, nonetheless, could spot its good bones. The couple ripped up carpets to expose original wood floors, tore down walls for a more open floor plan, and replaced all the plumbing and electrical wiring. Then it was time to have fun decorating.

A psychotic need to avenge oneself on a group, nation, or whatever because of real or alleged victimisation visited on one's ancestors by the ancestors of the target. The person afflicted with the Agrajag Complex almost - indeed sometimes literally - seems to regard such insults as having been visited on themself personally, and dwells on the grievance so much that they cripple themselves mentally and emotionally. From the character of Agrajag in Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series of novels, who has reincarnated many times as a wide variety of different creatures, each of which was killed (or at least looked at in their last moments, Agrajag believes smugly), by Arthur Dent. Agrajag returns to take revenge on Dent in the form of a giant mutant bat with long curving teeth that lacerate his own face every time he moves his jaw.
These Northern Irish Nationalists and Unionists can all be seen to suffer from a form of Agrajag Complex.

By now, most readers of the nation's major newspapers know that U.S. cotton farmers are on a mission to keep farmers in the African countries of Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad and Mali in poverty.
Writers for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post have said U.S. growers receive gazillions of dollars in subsidies, which they use to make sure that farmers in those West African countries receive little to nothing for their cotton.
Even the National Cotton Council's hometown newspaper, the Memphis, Tenn., Commercial Appeal, sent a reporter to Benin and Burkina Faso to produce a two-part special report that was entitled "Subsidies and the Cotton Industry."
The reporter interviewed NCC President Mark Lange about Council efforts to help African farmers improve their production and marketing systems, but ignored his protests that the series' focus on U.S. subsidies was way off base. (The Commercial Appeal ran the Council's written response on Dec. 25.)
Having been on foreign assignments, I can understand how writers might have trouble getting their arms around a complicated issue. But I have rarely seen so many obviously intelligent people totally miss the point of a story.
Lange alluded to that in his response to the Commercial Appeal series, which appeared in its Dec. 4 and Dec. 11 editions. (Lange's letter can be found on the NCC Web site: www.cotton.org.)
"In your article was a kernel of the story. African cotton farmers are being smothered by the institutions left over from French colonialism, not U.S. subsidies. Perhaps no other cotton farmers are as disadvantaged, but the price difference your reporter noted between what they receive compared to cotton farmers in Brazil or Australia has nothing to do with the U.S. cotton program."
Lange cited a campaign mounted by non-governmental organizations, saying the press has blindly accepted assertions by these organizations that the U.S. cotton program is suppressing world prices. "Studies by Texas Tech University, the International Monetary Fund and the Food and Agricultural Organization attribute, at most, a 2 to 4 percent impact on world prices from all cotton subsidies."
The most glaring omission in the Commercial Appeal series, however, is this: Why do cotton farmers in Brazil and Australia sell their cotton for 50 cents per pound while the African farmer receives 32 cents? What happens to the other 18 cents per pound?
It's siphoned off by officials who either market the cotton or must sign off on documents required to move the crop out of the country. Another recent New York Times article noted that it takes 116 days and 38 government signatures to get a load of bananas from the Central African Republic to a ship bound for Europe. The same may be true for cotton.
If these articles were produced in a vacuum, cotton farmers could ignore them. But the direction of the Doha Round after Hong Kong shows growers have no choice but to respond to the misinformation.

Candace & Chris's Art-Filled Loft — After the Deluge
(We're trying out some of the best applicants from our New York Blogger Search — this House Call comes from applicant Anna Hoffman Steinhardt.)
Name: Candace and Chris
Location: SoHo, New York City
When Candace and Chris bought this classic Soho loft, they wanted to counterbalance some of the slickness of the developer's renovation — so after the help of architects from OpenShop Studio, Candace decorated the loft with organic shapes and rounded forms. An art adviser, Candace's top priority was lots of wall space for display, so bookshelves were dropped to floor level and turned into banquettes around the living room. When a catastrophic flood from an upstairs apartment destroyed the developer's shiny cherry floors, she replaced them with something visually softer, choosing reclaimed American chestnut and treating it with a Swedish sealant that maintains the natural color of the wood...
These floors carry a texture and patina that made a living room rug unnecessary, lending to the loft's unfussy, airy effect. Art is the main decoration of the apartment, but unexpected details throughout, like a wallpapered ceiling in the powder room and black-on-black upholstered walls in the "man-cave" TV room, ensure that the décor is no mere white box. The master bedroom is dominated by a mural by Adam Cvijanovic, while the guestroom walls are covered with small works-on-paper, hung salon-style.

April 28, 2011 -- A Medscape/WebMD survey of 15,794 U.S. doctors finds that orthopaedic surgeons and radiologists make the most money, while pediatricians and primary care doctors trail the pack.
It's not really a surprise that specialists make the most money:
- Orthopaedic surgeons and radiologists: median pay $350,000 a year.
- Cardiologists and anesthesiologists: median pay $325,000 a year.
- Urologists, gastroenterologists, surgeons, and dermatologists: median pay about $300,000 a year.
That's just what most of these specialists make. Some individuals make a lot more. For example, about 17% of dermatologists report earning $500,000 a year or more.
At the other end of the scale are primary care doctors and pediatricians, who log in at about $159,000 a year average income. Only about one in 100 primary care providers reports making more than $500,000 a year, while 18% had a 2010 income of $100,000 or less.
As in most other fields, men are more highly paid than women. Male specialists pull down a median $225,000 while female specialists take in a median $160,000 a year. The same thing goes for primary care doctors: Men report a median $170,000 annual income while women earn a median $140,000 a year.
The survey offers some hints about why female doctors earn less. Women report spending more time with each patient and report seeing fewer patients each week than male doctors do.
Is Doctor Pay Fair?
Are doctors being paid a fair amount? Doctors are pretty evenly split on the question. Just over half of specialists, and just under half of primary care doctors, say they are fairly compensated.
If the salaries of doctors seem high to you, consider this: Many doctors work very long hours. Two things eat up doctors' time: Actually treating patients and paperwork.
Anesthesiologists, cardiologists, gastroenterologists, surgeons, and urologists spend an average 46 to 50 hours a week seeing patients. About 42% of all doctors see 50 to 99 patients a week, while about 30% see 100 to 149 patients weekly.
Then there's the paperwork. About one in five oncologists, surgeons, and cardiologists report spending 20 or more hours a week on paperwork and other non-patient activities such as billing issues, supervision, and office meetings. So do 17% of primary care doctors.
Would Doctors Do It Again?
Perhaps the most interesting question in the Medscape Physician Compensation Survey is whether, given the chance to do it all over again, they would choose to become doctors.
Instead of a career in medicine, one doctor would have switched to a job as "an assassin -- of insurance company executives." Another would have been a Zamboni driver.
But an overwhelming 69% of doctors said they would once again choose a medical career. However, 12% said they definitely would not. Among the top alternative career choices are business, law, and education.
While 61% of doctors said they'd choose the same specialty, 21% would not. And only half of doctors would choose to work in the same practice setting.
Some specialists are more satisfied than others:
- 80% of dermatologists are satisfied with their careers, and 93% would choose the same specialty again.
- 72% of radiologists are satisfied with their careers, and 82% would choose the same specialty again.
- 70% of oncologists are satisfied with their careers, and 79% would choose the same specialty again.
And some are less satisfied than are others:
- 54% of primary care doctors are satisfied with their careers, and only 43% would choose the same specialty again.
- 57% of pulmonologists are satisfied with their careers, and only 52% would choose the same specialty again.
- 57% of obstetricians/gynecologists are satisfied with their careers, and only 53%% would choose the same specialty again.
- 57% of nephrologists are satisfied with their careers, and only 55% would choose the same specialty again.
The Medscape Physician Compensation Survey was fielded to 455,000 U.S. doctors. Responses came between Feb. 2, 2011, and March 30, 2011, from 15,794 doctors in 22 specialty areas.
The fields most represented by survey respondents were primary care (23%), pediatrics (8%), psychiatry (8%), emergency medicine (6%), obstetrics/gynecology (6%), and surgery (6%).

Birds are warm-blooded, egg-laying, vertebrate animals. They are covered in feathers and their forelimbs are modified into wings which are used for flight. Their feathers are highly protective against cold and also against water. Birds have adapted for flight with their bones being made up of a honeycomb structure so as to reduce their structural weight. They also have acute eyesight and hearing but little sense of smell. Most birds are diurnal (only active during the day) although some have become specifically adapted to a nocturnal lifestyle (only active during the night).
Depending upon the species, birds feed on a variety of food sources; nectar, seeds, insects, rodents, fish and even on other birds however all have specific adaptations to aid in their individual feeding technique. Most birds build a nest in which they lay their eggs, although there are a few that actually lay their eggs in other birds' nests so as to 'trick' the other birds into raising their young (Cuckoos)! Eggs, like birds, vary in colour, size and shape.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Veteran news anchor Tom Brokaw, the face of "NBC Nightly News" for more than two decades, has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer affecting blood cells in the bone marrow, but is hopeful about the outcome of his treatment, the network said on Tuesday.
Brokaw, 74, stepped down as anchor in December 2004 but has remained with the network as a special correspondent, currently covering the Winter Olympics coverage in Sochi, and has continued to work on NBC projects during his treatment, NBC News said in a statement.
It said Brokaw and his physicians were "very encouraged with the progress he is making."
In his own statement accompanying the network announcement, Brokaw said: "With the exceptional support of my family, medical team and friends, I am very optimistic about the future and look forward to continuing my life, my work and adventures still to come."
He added, "I remain the luckiest guy I know."
A South Dakota native who joined NBC in 1966, Brokaw served as White House correspondent during the Watergate scandal of the Richard Nixon administration and hosted NBC's "Today" show from 1976 until 1982.
He replaced John Chancellor at the helm of the "Nightly News" desk, first as co-anchor that year with Roger Mudd and then as sole anchor in September 1983, while the "CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite" was still the top weeknight network newscast.
Within several years, however, Brokaw and "Nightly News" moved to the top of the Nielsen ratings, leading Dan Rather and the "CBS Evening News" and Peter Jennings' "ABC World News Tonight" through the end of Brokaw's tenure in 2004.
The youngest of his Big-Three network news contemporaries, Brokaw was the first to retire as anchor, stepping down from the job at age 64.
Despite his accomplishments as a journalist, Brokaw has said it was a work of history that he was most proud of - his book "The Greatest Generation," a bestseller about Americans who grew up during the Great Depression and served in World War Two.
Multiple myeloma is a cancer that strikes white blood cells in the bone marrow called plasma cells, which normally produce antibodies to help fight infection. But in multiple myeloma, an over-abundance of malignant plasma cells releases unhealthy levels of a protein into the bones and blood that in turn can cause damage to bone tissue and organs.
There is no cure, but treatments are available that slow its progression, according to the medical website WebMD.com.

The GXV3140 IP Multimedia Phone, what doesn't this unit do? The GXV3140 is bursting with industry-leading features. A surprisingly clear 4.3″ digital color liquid crystal display, an adjustable 1.3MP advanced CMOS camera with privacy shutter, auxiliary interfaces including USB, stereo headset, audio/video output, and SD slots, advanced video compression, and duplex speakerphone. The phone is also equipped with Web and social networking apps; web browsing, Yahoo/MSN/Google IM, Internet radio, Flickr, RSS feeds, music streaming, games, and more. This unit has established itself as a unique hotbed for the culmination of many multimedia applications that will leave the user in awe.
This GXV3140 enables the user to abandon the computer for smaller tasks, and a more aesthetically pleasing desk layout. The GXV3140 can switch providers with the push of a button as carrier's voice quality may vary. While the video aspect is more Web cam-ish than video conferencing it is still a remarkable system. Neither Skype or IAX is supported.
The Grandstream GX3140 IP Phone lacks options in skin color (black being the only option), but the idea of purchasing a $250 multimedia phone on aesthetics alone is rather ridiculous. The GXV3140 supports 11 languages, and could possibly be the first stationary phone you use frequently, and not just for calls. The GX3140 is a revolution in home and office communication and has been nominated for 2 different awards here at Reviewboard Magazine.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
The companies that make up the Chemical/Diversified group are largely intermediate producers of a broad array of chemicals and industrial gases. Their products are mostly used as raw materials by manufacturing industries. Major end markets served include automotive (plastics, paints), residential (carpets, fixtures, furniture) and commercial construction (glass, metals, wood), agriculture (fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides), commercial aerospace (carbon fiber composites), and general manufacturing customers. Chemical/Diversified stocks are more commonly characterized as growth-and-income holdings, and are generally suited to investors seeking broad exposure to the manufacturing sector of the economy.
The products made by these companies fall into three main categories. Basic Chemicals have commodity-like characteristics and are sold in large volumes. These include petrochemicals, such as polymers used to make plastics and other man-made fibers. The category also includes such derivatives as carbon black and synthetic rubbers. Specialty Chemicals are more performance critical, value-added products, usually made to customer specifications. These include industrial gases, coatings, and chemicals used in electronics manufacturing. Finally, the Life Sciences segment encompasses animal health, crop protection, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical-related products.
End markets supplied by this group typically face a wide range of economic prospects. Nonetheless, serving a variety of customers and geographic regions usually provides some downside protection in the form of diversified income streams. In general, though, basic chemicals have less pricing power during downturns, making specialty and life sciences products more stable in terms of profitability. Still, overall economic conditions play a significant role. As such, the group's performance will largely mirror that of the broader manufacturing economy. In that regard, the Institute for Supply Management's Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) can be a useful guide. This index is designed to indicate whether the manufacturing sector as a whole is expanding (over 50) or contracting (below 50).
Input costs are also key. Indeed, companies in this group consume large amounts of natural gas and oil, which are mostly used as feedstock. Naturally, lower input costs translate into higher margins, and vice versa. However, it's the volatility in the pricing of these two commodities that warrants more careful attention from an investment prospective, as changes are quickly reflected on the bottom line. As a result, most of these companies employ some degree of hedging to smooth out rapid price moves. Oil and natural gas prices are less of an issue for those supplying industrial gases, where the primary concern relates to the utilization of production capacity.
The domestic market for chemicals is largely mature. Historically, the sizable automotive and housing sectors have posted very modest average annual growth, irrespective of the stage of the economic cycle. (Those industries experienced a fundamental correction in the wake of the 2008-2009 recession.) The same is also true for the food industry (plastic bottles, agricultural products). By comparison, developing countries, most notably China and India, hold huge potential for rapid expansion in nearly all sectors.
The majority of the companies in this group have long been capitalizing on the opportunities presented by this trend, and have steadily diversified operations by developing far flung production facilities. Whereas a couple of decades ago, overseas business accounted for a relatively small portion of sales, that figure has grown substantially, now accounting for 60% or more of total revenue.
In addition to the promise of high growth potential, building an international presence helps reduce exposure to economic downturns in any one region. Geographic diversification has also often resulted in a reduction of the overall corporate tax burden, because overseas jurisdictions usually have lower rates than those of the U.S. One of the potential drawbacks to this strategy, however, is increased currency risk. Reported overseas sales can boost results when the U.S. dollar weakens. But the opposite holds true if the dollar strengthens. Meanwhile, for many of these companies, international transportation costs are prohibitive (most notably for industrial gases), requiring them to make their products where they are to be sold. This also provides a natural hedge, in that production costs are priced in local currencies.
Most of Chemical/Diversified companies are capital intensive, reflecting the large manufacturing facilities required to produce bulk quantities. Combined with the high technology requirements, this gives the industry a competitive advantage in terms of high barriers to entry.
Because the industry operates with such high fixed costs, modest changes in sales can lead to wide swings in net income. During periods of strong demand, these costs may be spread over a larger sales base. As such, it's important to keep an eye on capacity utilization rates. Often, during economic downturns, when capacity usage is low, pricing power becomes more limited and operating margins suffer.

Meredith Whitney's favorite big bank remains Bank of America, despite the firm's recent legal troubles regarding its mortgage practices.
Federal prosecutors took aim at BofA on Wednesday for a mortgage loan scheme it had inherited from Countrywide Financial when it bought the company during the financial crisis.
Authorities said the scheme involved rapidly turning out mortgages without checking for wrongdoing, then selling them to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
While the charges against Bank of America seem serious and prosecutors are looking for $1 billion from the company, Whitney said the bank remains in good shape and may even beat the case.
"I still like Bank of America," she said during an interview on CNBC's "Closing Bell" program. "It's cheap and I think they've got a lot of stability behind the company for the first time in a very long time."
In fact, Whitney said she spoke with BofA officials Wednesday and they assured her the case was not a major problem. (Read More: Bank of America Posts Profit)
"They think the case is meritless, based on the fact that five of the issues at point have been settled," she said. "One of the items is not worth pursuing (so) one out of seven claims are questionable."
Whitney said regulatory pressure is likely to result in a string of similar lawsuits against mortgage bankers.
"How many of these claims have merit and legs will be determined. I don't think this is unique to Bank of America," she said. "Everyone in mortgage disclosure should be prepared for these kinds of lawsuits."
Banks also should be ready for more layoffs, she said. (Read More: More Bank Layoffs Coming: 'Bad as I've Seen It': Whitney)
Bank of America alone expects to cut 16,000 positions by year's end, and other major institutions including Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank have similar plans.
"The only way banks will increase returns on assets and return on equity is if they streamline the business and get more profitable," Whitney said. "Banks have a lot of wood-chopping and a lot of expense management to do."

State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe exhibits the characteristic mind-set of a cult leader who urges his followers to "fear the other." He wants us to hate our neighbor if they do not look like us, worship as we worship, belong to the same political party, and the list goes on and on. He preaches division and fear because that's the only tool that ineffective politicians like Metcalfe have to keep their small pool of constituents together.
Aside from the embarrassment he brought to us last week, there are many reasons why Metcalfe should resign. He has continued to hold captive three House bills in his committee that need to go to the floor for a vote. The passage of these bills would make better for Pennsylvanians. We can no longer elect poor performing officials like Metcalfe whose only skill is obstructionist politics. We need elected officials that have good progressive ideas, are willing to work across the aisle, and hold bright visions of the future for all citizens.
I believe people can and want to work together to make our district a great place to live, but we can't do that when our representative magnifies our differences and then uses them as a vehicle for hate.

Indoor Activities for Seniors and In Home Assisted Living
The winter weather can be brutal at times. With fierce winds and bitter cold, it can be dangerous for those with frail health to venture outdoors. Snow and ice also make it difficult to drive and might make walkways treacherous. With the freezing temperatures and dreary weather, winter is the best time to hibernate indoors; but just because we are inside does not mean we need to have cabin fever.
There are many indoor activities for seniors that are not only entertaining but also can be wonderful ways to bond with an elderly loved one. Grey days mean more time for gathering ticket stubs, photographs and other sentimental items to preserve in scrapbooks. If your elderly loved one is interested in creating a personal book that can be printed and mailed, there are many websites that offer reasonable pricing and are user friendly.
Another fun indoor activity to perform with an elderly loved one is playing board games. When was the last time you played Chess or Checkers? Perhaps your elderly loved one is an ace at card games. Learn some new card playing strategies that have proven tried and true for your loved one. Playing games with a loved one is a wonderful way to spark friendly competition and encourage bonding.
Some seniors find much joy in joining dinner clubs or going out to breakfast daily to connect with friends. There's something to be said about sharing a meal with a loved one. If your loved one is a fabulous baker and you want to enjoy a fresh treat; inspire them to teach you how to create their best dish.
The common denominator for creating enjoyable indoor activities for a senior loved one is interaction. Any time spent with a loved one is sure to be cherished. So take the time to drop by for a chat, or coordinate a weekly dinner whenever possible. Social interaction with friends and family enable a boost in mood and will help your loved one feel special and important. This mood boost will improve their overall outlook in life and the positive energy may also improve their health. A smile does wonders to push the winter blues away.

For professionals in the field of Educational Psychology.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Soon after I wrote the first edition of Educational Psychology, I had the good fortune to return to a middle school classroom teaching geography to two sections of sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. On my first day back in a K-12 setting, I was quickly reminded of how exciting and energizing the process of teaching growing children can be. This experience confirmed once again what I have always known—that the principles of educational psychology have clear relevance to the decisions a classroom teacher must make on an ongoing basis. How children and adolescents learn and think, how they change as they grow and develop, why they do the things they do, how they are often very different from one another—our understanding of all these things has innumerable implications for classroom practice and, ultimately, for the lives of the next generation.
I have been teaching educational psychology since 1974, and I have loved every minute of it. Because I want the field of educational psychology to captivate you the way it has captivated me, I have tried to make the book interesting, meaningful, and thought-provoking as well as informative. I have a definite philosophy about how future teachers can best learn and apply educational psychology-a philosophy that has guided me as I have written all three editions of this book. More specifically, I believe that you can construct a more accurate and useful understanding of the principles of educational psychology when you:
Focus on core principles of the discipline Relate the principles to your own learning and behavior Mentally "process" the principles in an effective manner Consider numerous classroom applications of the principles
As I will show you in a moment, I have incorporated numerous features into the book that will encourage you to do all of these things. I hope that you will learn a great deal from what educational psychology has to offer, not only about the students you will be teaching but also about yourself—a human being who continues to learn and develop even now. Features of the Book Focusing on Core Principles
Rather than superficially explore every aspect of educational psychology, I have chosen to offer in-depth treatment of the fundamental concepts and principles that have broad applicability to classroom practice. If I myself couldn't imagine how a concept or principle could be of use to a teacher, I left it out. I have highlighted many of the key principles in the Principles/Assumptions tables that appear throughout the book. Relating Principles to Your Own Learning and Behavior A central goal of this text is to help you discover more about yourself as a thinker and learner. If you can understand how you yourself learn, you will be in a better position to understand how your students learn and, as a result, to help them learn more effectively. Throughout the book, I've provided many exercises to help you discover important points firsthand and thereby construct a more complete, meaningful understanding of psychological principles of learning, development, motivation, and behavior. Appearing as Experiencing Firsthand features, these exercises are in some ways similar to the "hands-on" activities that can help students learn in elementary and secondary classrooms. But because I ask you to use your mind rather than your hands, you might more accurately think of them as "head-on" experiences. "Processing" Principles Effectively
Research tells us that many students, including many at the college level, use relatively ineffective strategies for reading, studying, and learning. But research also tells us that students can acquire effective strategies and that when they begin to use such strategies, they find themselves successfully learning and remembering what they read and hear.
One important principle of learning is that people learn and remember new information more effectively when they relate it to what they already know—a process called meaningful learning. I will ask you to reflect on your own knowledge and experiences at the beginning of each chapter and in Thinking About What You Know features at various other spots throughout the book. In addition, some of the margin notes designated with a special (disc) symbol will ask you to consider personal experiences or to recall ideas discussed in previous chapters.
Another effective strategy is organization—making connections among the various pieces of information that you're learning; the Compare/Contrast tables that appear throughout the book will help you organize some of the key ideas in each chapter. Still another learning strategy is elaboration—expanding on information as you study it, drawing inferences, thinking of new examples, making predictions, and so on. Many of the (disc) questions in the margin will encourage you to elaborate on concepts and principles as I describe them. The (triangle) notes in the margin can help you with both organization and elaboration: They may show you how you can connect the material you are reading with ideas presented in later chapters, or they may provide additional, "elaborative" information about those ideas. Taking Principles Into the Classroom
Throughout the text, I consistently apply psychological concepts and principles to class room practice. Some of these applications are summarized and illustrated in Into the Classroom features and Students in Inclusive Settings tables; many others are highlighted with an (apple) in the margin. Furthermore, the (disc) questions will sometimes ask you to consider possible applications in your own specific circumstances as a teacher.
In addition, every chapter begins and ends with case studies. The case study at the beginning of each chapter presents an example of one or more students dealing with a particular classroom learning task. As we proceed through the chapter, we will continually relate our discussion back to this case, helping you connect chapter content to a classroom context. The case study at the end of each chapter focuses on teachers and teaching; it will help you apply ideas you have encountered in the chapter and make instructional decisions based on what you have learned. Changes in the Third Edition
Although most of the content in the second edition remains in the third, I have made several changes to reflect current trends in educational psychology and educational practice. Among the most significant changes to this revision are: the addition of three new chapters, including Learning in the Content Areas, Promoting Learning Through Student Interactions, and Students with Special Educational Needs; new and expanded topics; and a reorganization of Part 3. New Chapter on "Learning in the Content Areas"
Chapter 9 applies principles of cognitive psychology to learning reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies. Four general themes—constructive processes, the influence of prior knowledge, metacognition, and developmental differences—and many content-specific teaching strategies appear throughout the chapter. New Chapter on "Promoting Learning Through Student Interactions"
Discussion of instructional strategies has been expanded to two chapters, and Chapter 14 is now devoted exclusively to describing interactive approaches to instruction including: communities of learners, class discussions, reciprocal teaching, cooperative learning, and peer tutoring. New Chapter on "Students with Special Educational Needs"
Chapter 5 describes recent trends in special education and presents numerous strategies for teachers who work in inclusive classrooms. (The "Students in Inclusive Settings" tables that appeared in each chapter of the second edition remain in the third edition as well.) New and Expanded Topics
The third edition includes new sections on contemporary applications of Vygotsky's ideas; theoretical perspectives on language development; heredity, environment, and group differences in intelligence; how procedural knowledge is learned; critical thinking; setting events; behavioral momentum; positive behavioral support; self-regulated learning; lesson plans; direct instruction; and working effectively with parents. Discussions of other topics have, of course, been updated in keeping with recent developments in theory and research. Reorganization of Part 3
Topics related to planning for instruction-identifying instructional goals, conducting task analyses, and developing lesson plans-now appear at the beginning of Chapter 13 ("Choosing Instructional Strategies") and pave the way for the discussion of instructional strategies. Chapter 15 is now devoted entirely to the topic of "Creating and Maintaining a Productive Classroom Environment." Supplementary Materials
Numerous supplements to the textbook are available to enhance your learning and development as a teacher.
Student Study Guide. The Student Study Guide provides many support mechanisms to help you learn and study more effectively. These include focus questions to consider as you read the text, a chapter glossary, application exercises to give you practice in applying concepts and principles of educational psychology to classroom settings, answers to selected margin notes, sample test questions, and several supplementary readings.
Simulations in Educational Psychology and Research (Compact Disk). A compact disk accompanies the third edition of the textbook. This CD contains four activities that resemble actual research studies in educational psychology: "The Pendulum Experiment" (to be used with either Chapter 2 or Chapter 9); "Assessing Moral Reasoning" (to be used with Chapter 3); "Bartlett's Ghosts" (to be used with Chapter 7); and "Intuitive Physics" (to be used with Chapter 7, 8, or 9). As you use the CD, you will find yourself "participating" in the activities in much the same way that students in the original research studies did; the CD will ask you to respond to various situations and then give you feedback about your responses. The CD will also help you connect the activity with educational practice.
Companion Website. You can find the Website for Educational Psychology: Developing Learners at prenhall/ormrod. For each chapter of the book, the Website presents Key Questions that identify the chapter's central issues, a chapter glossary, key terms linked to Internet destinations, and a quick self-test (multiple-choice and essay questions that let you self-assess what you've learned). The Website also provides Syllabus Manager™, which your instructor may use to post and occasionally update the course syllabus, as well as an interactive "Message Board" through which you and your classmates can engage in discussions about chapter content.
Videotapes and MultiMedia Guide. Videos are a highly effective means of visually demonstrating concepts and principles in educational psychology. The eight videotapes that accompany this textbook portray a wide variety of teachers, students, and classrooms in action. Six videos present numerous case studies in many content domains and at a variety of grades levels. Two additional videos are: `A Private Universe" (which examines learner misconceptions in science) and Constance Kamii's "Double-Column Addition: A Teacher Uses Piaget's Theory" (which depicts a constructivist approach to teaching mathematics). Opportunities to react to these videos in class discussions will further enhance your ability to think analytically and identify good teaching practices. Your instructor will have a MultiMedia Guide to help guide and enrich your interpretation and understanding of what you see in the videos.
Instructor's Manual. Available to your instructor are suggestions for learning activities, additional "head-on" exercises, supplementary lectures, case study analyses, discussion topics, group activities, and additional media resources. These have been carefully selected to provide opportunities to support, enrich, and expand on what you read in the textbook.
Transparencies. The transparencies that your instructor may use in class will include tables and classroom exercises similar to those found in your textbook. These transparencies are designed to help you understand, organize, and remember the concepts and principles you are studying.
PowerPoint Slides and Supplementary Lectures and Activities. Your instructor may use a CD-ROM that includes PowerPoint versions of the transparencies, supplementary lectures, and activities that appear in the Instructor's Manual.
Test Bank. Many instructors use the test questions that accompany this textbook. Some items (lower-level questions) will simply ask you to identify or explain concepts and principles you have learned. But many others (higher-level questions) will ask you to apply those same concepts and principles to specific classroom situations—that is, to actual student behaviors and teaching strategies. The lower-level questions assess your basic knowledge of educational psychology. But ultimately, it is the higher-level questions that will assess your ability to use principles of educational psychology in your own teaching practice. Acknowledgments
Although I am listed as the sole author of this textbook, I have been fortunate to have had a great deal of assistance in writing it. First and foremost, I must thank my editor, Kevin Davis, whose ideas, insights, and clear commitment to the field of educational psychology have provided much of the driving force behind my writing and productivity. Kevin is a task master, make no mistake about it, and he always insists that I stretch my talents to the limit. Yet he also provides the guidance (scaffolding) I need to achieve things that initially seem so impossible. After spending countless hours working with Kevin, I can say that he is not only my editor but also my friend.
I am equally indebted to Linda Montgomery, developmental editor for the third edition, whose extensive experience as both an elementary school teacher and an editor have greatly enriched the quality of this edition. Linda's creativity, commitment to excellence, and ongoing support have always been there for me when I've needed them most. I must thank Linda Peterson as well; as developmental editor for both the first and second editions, she helped define much of the pedagogy of the book. Her continuing insistence on application, application, application! kept my focus on the things that future teachers really need to know.
Others at Merrill/Prentice Hall have also contributed in important ways. Copy editor Sue Snyder has gone through my manuscript with a fine-toothed comb and teased out many little places where the text wasn't quite right. Photography editor Nancy Ritz has located many photographs that have given life to the words on the page. And Julie Peters, as production editor for all three editions, has flawlessly coordinated and overseen the entire process of transforming a manuscript into a book—an incredibly complicated task that, in my mind, should far exceed any normal human being's working memory capacity.
In addition, many colleagues across the country have given the book a balance of perspectives that no single author could possibly do on her own. Drs. Margie Garanzini-Daiber and Peggy Cohen provided some of the ideas for ...From the Back Cover:

Obama taps GE's Immelt in another outreach to business
WASHINGTON — Continuing his outreach to business, President Barack Obama Friday named Jeffrey Immelt, the chairman and chief executive of General Electric, to head a new, high-profile panel that will advise him on ways to help the private sector create jobs.
Immelt will chair a new President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, which will replace another group of outside economic advisers led by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. The Volcker panel, which was temporary, is set to expire next month.
More than a change of players and titles, the move suggests a shift in the White House's approach as the president switches from a panel and chairman aimed at regulating financial markets to a new group of advisers charged with finding ways to help business.
Obama said it was time for a change. "As we enter a new phase in our recovery," he said, "I have asked the new council to focus its work on finding new ways to encourage the private sector to hire and invest in American competitiveness."
It's the latest in a series of steps to woo business that the president has taken since he led his Democratic Party to sweeping losses in last November's elections, losses that were fueled in part by anti-Democrat ads financed by business groups.
His post-election courting of business has included:
- A new order to make sure that federal regulators consider how their actions will cost business.
Like those other steps — all taken since November's elections — this one drew quick, albeit cautious, praise from business.
Thomas J. Donohue, the president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said launching the new panel was a "promising step" toward a new White House focus on creating jobs, boosting growth and helping U.S. businesses compete abroad. He applauded the choice of Immelt, noting his experience in business and international trade.
But Donohue, whose organization pledged to spend $75 million in last year's elections to defeat Democrats, said action had to follow all the recent moves by Obama.
"The ultimate test will not be the administration's words and intentions, but its actions," Donohue said. "A more robust economy and stronger job growth will require regulatory restraint and reform, trade expansion, reducing deficits, reining in spending, strengthening our education system and rebuilding our nation's infrastructure."
Republicans said Obama could have more impact by changing policies rather than advisory councils.
"The Obama administration needs a new economic philosophy much more than it needs another council," said Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the chairman of the Republican Study Committee.
"Massive deficit spending, higher taxes and the rapidly expanding regulatory state are all obstacles to prosperity, and President Obama's agenda has increased these barriers by leaps and bounds. . . . If Washington doesn't get out of the way, the private-sector jobs America needs will be a long time coming."
