Hey Malik, it's been awhile. How are you doing bro?
I'm good bro, blessed and always be entertained by life.
In your last bout, you lost to Dereck Chisora by what many consider to be a controversial knockout. Talk about the impact that this loss has had on both your career and general psyche…
Well to start things off controversy or no controversy it was a good fight and Chisora officially won fair and square, whatever senseless acts that these referees or judges may do in these fights are not the fighters call, so it is what it is and that milk is spilled so no need to cry over it. As far as my psyche is concerned its better than it has ever been, I still believe I'm the best skilled heavyweight on the planet, I still look good, I have two beautiful, healthy kids that I'm crazy about and I can't wait to get back in the ring to finish my mission to a heavyweight championship.
Is a rematch with Chisora something that the fans can expect to see in the future?
I'm hoping so man, it's something that I definitely want and it's something Chisora told me personally that he would make happen. I'm looking forward to it and I'm hoping Chisora is man enough to keep his word, we'll see.
What are your thoughts on Chisora as a fighter in general?
Same as it was before the fight, he's a good, rugged and tough fighter, you have to give a guy credit who fought for the heavyweight championship of the world against a reigning champion like Vitali Klitschko with only 14 fights and took Vitali a tough distance. Dereck is a tough fighter.
What would you do differently in order to ensure victory in a rematch with Chisora?
Well I was in his hometown on his promoter fight card and like the title said for the fight I was behind enemy lines and I say all that to say, I still was up on all scorecards. I was giving Dereck unnecessary opportunities early in the fight with wrestling, elbowing and just inside working and I still was winning, from what I saw from watching the fight if we fought again I would start off a lot quicker than I did and steal on him a lot more.
It says a lot about how serious you are taking your career by accepting the fight against Chisora after so many other fighters turned it down. If a rematch with Chisora is not secured, what's next for you Malik? Who is on your radar?
Yeah man, I just want to fight, and the world is on my radar, whoever I can get that's relevant in this division I will take.
When can we expect to see you back in the ring Malik?
Shit, ASAP bro. I'm just training, living life and waiting on the call.
Your friend and fellow heavyweight Deontay Wilder scored a nice win last week over former heavyweight champion Sergei Liakhovich. Did you happen to see this fight? If so, what were your thoughts?
Yeah me and Deontay was actually talking all the way up until the morning of his fight against Sergei and he told me he was going to cripple him the way he did, one word describes that kid man a fucking "BEAST." He has a right hand that just can't be taught, it's God-given and I only speak off of what I have felt from when we use to go at it in training camp. He's official tissue, good fighter.
Friendship aside, boxing is a business, and if a fight with Wilder was offered to you, would you accept?
Of course, me and Deontay are bros but we are both chasing history and we both have family's to feed. And if it ever had to come to that we would have to put our personal relationship on the side and handle our business and get back to being bros after the fight.
Out of the following fights, describe how you see the fight playing out and who takes home the win:
Wladimir Klitschko vs. Alexander Povetkin- Been in the ring with both guys, Povetkin is tough and deceiving but if I was betting my money it would go on Wladimir.
Vitali Klitschko vs. Bermane Stiverne (not signed yet)- Vitali by stoppage.
David Haye vs. Tyson Fury- Before 6 rds I got Haye by KO. After 6 I got Fury by KO or decision, great fight.
Seth Mitchell vs. Chris Arreola- Arreola by knockout
Bradley vs. Marquez- I don't care
-Alvarez vs. Mayweather- Mayweather best performance victory
Any final thoughts for the fans?

I know you're probably busy - whether it's shopping or working or spending time with family. As I write this, I'm sitting beside two of my little cousins, watching Woody Woodpecker episodes. (We've already made rocket ships and christmas ornaments, and danced conga lines all over my mom's house.) I'm grateful for them and how they remind me to be a kid again. Before we all continue to get swept up in the day and the weekend, I wanted to share some things with you:
1. Our Creative Fridays Showcase is happening in 2 weeks! Stay tuned for announcements about our amazing sponsors and raffle donations. Be sure to RSVP today.
2. There's a new coaching program starting in 2014 and you're invited to check it out. It includes group work, private sessions, a special retreat, a supportive community, and a Showcase for you to share your work. It's for you if you want to do any of the following: dance again, paint again, write consistently, express your truth, feel like a kid again, and make important changes in your life in the new year.
In honor of Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, I'm offering YOU a private 30-minute call me. We'll talk more about the greater visions you have for yourself, what might be standing in your way now, and how I can help you break through to achieve exactly what you want - creatively and genuinely. If the new program sounds like a good fit, I'll share the details with you.
You must email me back by Tuesday Dec, 3rd to claim one of the 10 spots that are open. The call will happen over the next couple of weeks but you have to write back by Tuesday to ensure a spot. All you have to do is send me a message, say "sign me up!" and I'll be in touch to schedule from there.
It can be hard to prioritize yourself in the midst of the holidays, but if there's something I've learned, it's that self-expression is not selfish. Your creativity and expression is bound to have a positive influence on the world around you. Don't deny yourself or the people in your life.
Email me and we'll talk.
thankful for you, Jess

By Chris Stimpson
Let's start with the near-certainties:First, the Nantucket Sound wind farm will be permitted. The draft environmental impact statement was overwhelmingly in favor of it, citing benefits to our health, economy and energy future, while debunking the disingenuous doomsayings of opponents. Nothing has surfaced in the year that followed this statement to contradict its findings. Absent any more backdoor dirty tricks from our upright representatives in Washington, there is little that can stop its approval now.
Second, when the power from the wind farm comes ashore, the laws of physics assure us that it will be used at the closest points of resistance downstream from the Barnstable substation - that is, the towns of the Cape and islands.
Third, the developer - Cape Wind Associates - will make money from its huge investment, no matter to whom it sells its power, even after making the lease payments set by the Department of the Interior (27 percent of which will be returned to Massachusetts). And so one should hope; there's not an energy producer or distributor in this most capitalist of countries that is not a profit-seeking business, including companies like Dominion and Mirant, whose fossil-fuel plants produce electricity, and like NStar, which distributes its output to the Cape and islands.
Now, did you catch the contradiction up there? Cape Codders using wind farm power is not the same as Cape Codders buying the power. I don't have the room here to explain the full intricacies of power generation, aggregation, buying and selling in New England, except to note that they would delight and challenge the mind of Erno Rubik.
However, the raw fact is that, even though Cape Wind has many times stated its desire to sell its power through 10- to 15-year fixed-price contracts to Cape Codders - and what a windfall (!) that would be for us - the system in place demands that the company sell to an aggregator, not to individual consumers. Such an aggregator could be, for example, ConEdison, which is perfectly capable of selling the power to consumers in Connecticut, Pennsylvania or farther afield.
So if the money that ends up in Jim Gordon's pocket actually started out in the bank accounts of New Yorkers or Philadelphians, allowing the ''Filthy Five'' oil-burning plant in Sandwich to continue to pollute our lungs, whose fault would that be?
Bad news, folks. It would be ours.
Gordon's company can build the wind farm and bring the power ashore; the rest is up to us. And on Cape Cod, we have a resource in the form of the Cape Light Compact, which could work to secure those amazingly beneficial long-term contracts for its constituents - you and me.
The compact's current mission is to procure electricity at the most favorable rate possible for Cape and islands towns, and this it does to the best of its ability. But the representatives of the compact have shown little or no interest in acting as aggregator for Cape Wind's output, even though it would take a relatively minor retooling of its mandate to allow it to do so.
The compact exists to serve consumers' interests, and nothing would serve our interests better than to have our power bills stabilized to the maximum extent possible. We can achieve this goal only if we have the will to make it happen; in plain terms, this means that every one of us should be demanding action from our politicians, who make the laws, and from our selectmen, who appoint the compact representatives, and from the compact representatives themselves. And that action must be to stop ignoring the inevitable and do whatever is needed to create an entity out of the Cape Light Compact that can lock in our electricity rates on the Cape, even while oil and gas prices rise exponentially.
If this does not happen, what kind of judgment will history make of people who dwelt at the locus of an energy revolution in this country, yet turned their backs on the benefits it promised?
Winston Churchill's famous wartime exhortation to America - ''Give us the tools, and we will finish the job'' - bears remembering today. On Cape Cod, the tools exist in the representatives of the Cape Light Compact; finishing the job is up to us. Shame on us if we do anything less.
Chris Stimpson of Bourne is a board member of Clean Power Now. Chris is a native of Great Britain. After a 13-year career in the Royal Air Force he settled on Cape Cod in 1981. He has spent most of the time since in the advertising business, with a focus on high-tech industries. He has also been a local independent businessman and now works in radio advertising sales. He performs secretarial duties for Clean Power Now, and lends his creative skills to the advertising and publicity efforts of the organization.

The baby shower for little baby "Q" is today. Here's the blanket that was supposed to be all wrapped up and waiting for the momma to open it.
I did send the baby hat and booties and a card with a bow of the baby blanket yarn. The card informed her that a blanket was being made and would be sent upon completion. I should have had it done and at the shower but - c'est la vie. I believe baby "Q" is due mid December so I'm hoping to have the blanket done in time. If not, I'll bring it up at Christmas. And if not by then, hopefully before the spring. I love the Afghan of the Sandman pattern but it is going to be a long time until I make another one of these blankets. They take FOREVER and I'm not sure why that is. I'm a fast crocheter and the pattern is easy. It must be the yarn and hook size.
I also have a project that must be done by Christmas. Little Brodie is 2 1/2 and she would know the difference if her Christmas gift arrived in January. Her mom has informed me that she loves bright, bright colors. I think this yarn will do and it should look great on her new "big girl" bed.
I was hoping to make a sweater for Edward but alas, I don't think that will happen this year. I will have to adjust the pattern for a bigger size and start in February so it will be completed by next Christmas.
Where did this year go??? It seems like June was last week and October was yesterday.

The sandman blanket stitch seemed time consuming to me but I'm not a master crocheter. It was gorgeous in oerson though.
And Brodie's blanket is so cheerful. I love it!

Short Term Foster Care
Short term fostering is usually for children and young people who are either in care proceedings or whose parent(s) or care givers are unable to look after them. It could be for weeks, months or possibly two years.
Step-down Care
Support for young people making the transition from residential care to a fostering home
Long-term Foster Care
Foster care is the child's plan for permanence, as recorded in their care plan. The foster carer has agreed to be the child's foster carer until they cease to be looked after.
Respite Foster Care
Respite foster care is a fostering home for a limited time only and provides foster carers with a break. It can benefit both the foster carer and the child by giving them a break from their usual routine.
Emergency Foster Care
There are times when a child may need to be placed in care due to unforeseen circumstances. Providing emergency care at short notice means children can be placed in a safe environment sooner rather than later.
Parent and Child
Parent and child fostering is a specialist type of fostering where a young parent and baby, comes to stay with you at a time when they need extra support.
Sanctuary Seeking Foster Care
Foster homes for young unaccompanied sanctuary seekers.

When Mozilla announced a year ago that it would not renew the search deal it had with Google in favor of regional deals that would give the organization more flexibility and independence, a turning point was reached.
Instead of being dependent on a single source of income, Mozilla suddenly was less dependent than before.
According to sources near Mozilla, the decision was made in part because of contractual restrictions by Google which limited the browser's search UI and likely also related features such as Tracking Protection.
This came at the cost of switching default search engines for Firefox users in specific regions of the world, and not everyone liked that obviously. It is easy enough to switch the search engine however in the Firefox web browser and that's likely the main reason why the change did not blow up in Mozilla's face.
My impression back then was that it was a good move for Mozilla, and also beneficial to part of Firefox's user base thanks to regional providers such as Baidu or Yandex replacing Google Search in China and Russia respectively.
Last year's financial statement, which Mozilla published yesterday, still shows Google as the major source of income, but next year, that is going to change.
About 323 million US Dollar of the 329 million US Dollar revenue total came from royalty deals in 2014, and most of that came from Google Inc.
Things will be very different in 2015. Mozilla has no commercial relationship with Google anymore at this point even though the company's search engine is still default in most of Europe for example.
According to Mozilla's Chief Financial Officer Jim Cook (via Cnet), the 2015 figure's will even be better thanks to the strategic move to find regional search partners for Firefox instead of a global one.
Money-wise, things are looking good as well. Mozilla had about 266 million US Dollars in cash and cash equivalents at the end of 2014 which is an increase of about 10 million US Dollars from a year earlier.
Mozilla's major expenses
Where does that money go? Software development accounts for the bulk of the money (212 million US Dollars) followed by branding and marketing with $40 million, general and administrative with $38 million, and program services with $13 million. In fact, expenses rose by $22 million in 2014.
The future
Mozilla continues its investment in mobile products such as Firefox OS, and mobile apps for Google's Android and Apple's iOS operating system. According to Net Market Share, Firefox had a mobile usage share of less than 1% in 2015.
Now You: What would you do if you'd be in charge of Mozilla?
Advertising revenue is falling fast across the Internet, and independently-run sites like Ghacks are hit hardest by it. The advertising model in its current form is coming to an end, and we have to find other ways to continue operating this site.

I think that in principle breaking the link with Google should be a good thing for Mozilla's independence.
It is also clear that Mozilla is itself a substantial corporation / foundation with all that this brings. I don't like how Mozilla has taken certain political stances on certain issues – better to stick to its core business I.e the Firefox browser etc.
I want to like and support Firefox but I have to say recently I am finding Google Chrome to be faster than Firefox which has been causing problems for me
Mozilla will do well financially without Google
A donation to Mozilla helps keep the Web open and free from corporate control. If everyone reading this chipped in $3, we would be supported for another year. Donate now.
One one hand, I'm happy that they are doing well. On the other hand, 212 mil. $ for software development of a browser? And another 40 mil.$ for BRANDING? Give me a break…
Yeah 40 mil for branding is a bit odd given how horrible and ineffective Mozilla marketing is.
> On the other hand, 212 mil. $ for software development of a browser?
Mozilla does much more than Firefox. It's not only the development of Firefox.
I, for one, applaud their decision and hope it works out well for them. Any move away from monster Google is a brave step in the right direction. I am so impressed, I may even try the browser again.
I'd applause to any extra funding which would allow changing the bunch of sectarian volunteers which require an average of 7 weeks to review (sign) an add-on together with a staff which is apparently blocked psychologically on the issues of the signing process. Have all of them replaced by open-minded full-time hired professionals The problem with volunteers is 1- hard to fire them, 2- they sometimes consider themselves as the lords of their commitment. Mozilla needs a new staff, a new mentality. For that I'd be willing to give my penny, or more, but certainly not to support those clowns.
I'd say that Mozilla's "Google envy" got the better of them. I suppose Mozilla will do OK in the short term–adding some diversification of revenue. However, all of their plans for the future have a big, fat "FAIL" written all over them. They've alienated their users of Firefox (read: "new 5-year plan: avoid less than 1% market share"). 10 years from now I doubt Mozilla will be much more than an afterthought.
Google is just another big company now–more evil than it used to be, still less evil than almost every other company (big or otherwise)… much less evil than those who complain about it (esp. including govt. types). At least Google "earns" its revenue, unlike the Google wannabes that complain the most.
Alphabet soup, anyone?
It does not matter how their funding goes, if no one wants to use the browser. Better to worry a little less about dollars, and more about excited users…
"no one", interesting. Money is important because without money they can do nothing.

As part of the Trade Preferences Extension Act signed into law by President Obama in June 2015, employers that fail to file correct information returns with the IRS or fail to provide correct payee statements could face steep penalties[1]. The increased penalties would apply to returns and statements to be filed after December 31, 2015 – specifically Forms W-2, 1099-R, 1099-MISC, 1094-B, 1095-B, 1094-C, and 1095-C, which are due in early 2016.
This change is particularly important for applicable large employers (ALEs) under the Affordable Care Act. Next year marks the first time that they will be required to file Forms 1094-C and 1095-C to report on health insurance coverage for full-time employees.
The basic penalty for failure to file or furnish a correct information return or payee statement will increase from $100 to $250 per return or statement while the standard annual penalty cap will double from $1.5 million to $3 million. It is important to note that the penalty applies separately to failure to file[2] and failure to furnish[3]. Similarly, the penalty (per filing) for intentional disregard increases from $250 to $500. There will be no cap in this scenario.
The IRS may provide temporary relief from penalties for firms that are making a good-faith effort to comply with ACA requirements[4]. However, no relief will be offered for the entities that fail to file in a timely manner or furnish a statement all together.

University of Arkansas-Monticello senior receiver Jamal Nixon made the end zone his personal playground during a game against Lindenwood-Belleville last week.
University of Arkansas-Monticello senior receiver Jamal Nixon made the end zone his personal playground during a game against Lindenwood-Belleville last week.
Nixon, a former Ellender star, grabbed nine catches for 120 yards and three touchdowns in the Boll Weevil's 41-27 win.
Nixon's three touchdown grabs went for 10, 40 and 21 yards. The majority of his scores came on runs he made after the catch.
Nixon added two kickoff returns for 45 yards (with a long of 28).
For the season, Nixon is second on Arkansas-Monticello in receiving with 37 catches, 472 yards, 12.8 yards per catch, seven touchdowns and 67.4 yards per game.
Arkansas-Monticello continues its season against Southern Nazarene University at 3 p.m. Saturday.
Nixon wasn't the only former Ellender football player with big statistics last week.
Westminster College of Missouri player Justin Billiot, a former Ellender quarterback, made plays as a runner and receiver during a 23-14 loss to Iowa Wesleyan last week.
Billiot, who is listed as a quarterback, had five catches for 54 yards (long of 34 yards) with a 10.8 yards per catch average. He also had five rushes for minus-7 yards.
Billiot and Westminster (2-5 overall) will face Northwestern-Minnesota on Saturday.
New Mexico Millitary Institute receiver Jermaine Johnson, a former Ellender standout, caught four passes for 40 yards in a 58-21 win over Pima Community College. Johnson has played in seven games this season, and he has 15 receptions for 358 yards and four touchdowns.
Here is a look at how several other local college football players fared last week.
--Louisiana-Lafayette true freshman running back Elijah McGuire, a former Vandebilt Catholic standout, had 10 carries for 110 yards with 11 yards per carry in the Ragin Cajuns' 23-7 win over Sun Belt Conference opponent Arkansas State on Tuesday.
It was the second 100-yard rushing game of the season for McGuire, who had the team's longest run of the season — a 70-yarder — in the second quarter. McGuire's big run set up Louisiana-Lafayette's second touchdown of the game.
McGuire is the Cajuns' second leading rusher with 425 yards, 51 carries and four TDs this season.
Louisiana-Lafayette (5-2 overall, 3-0 in Sun Belt), which has won five straight games, will play its next game at home against New Mexico State at 4 p.m. Nov. 2.
--University of Florida senior defensive back Damien Jacobs didn't play during the Gators' 36-17 loss at Missouri last week. Jacobs sat out with a concussion.
The Gators (4-3) continue their season with a game against rival Georgia at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Jacksonville, Ga. The game will be nationally televised on CBS.
--Auburn University standouts in offensive tackle Greg Robinson and receiver Trovon Reed got playing time during the Tigers' 45-41 upset win over Texas A&M last week.
As a starting offensive tackle, Robinson was a part of a Tiger offense that finished with 615 total yards (397 rushing, 236 passing).
Auburn (6-1 overall, 3-1 in SEC) returns home to play Florida-Atlantic at 6:30 p.m. Saturday on Fox Sports Net.
--Several Nicholls State University defenders made tackles during a 55-41 loss to Stephen F. Austin last week.
Redshirt freshman Eric Trench, a former Thibodaux player, had three tackles for the Colonels. Sophomore running back Josh Johnson of Thibodaux recorded one tackle and added a kick return for 14 yards, while freshman linebacker Jeremiah Thomas of Terrebonne had one tackle.
The Colonels return home to play McNeese State at 3 p.m. Saturday at John L. Guidry Stadium.

It's Thanksgiving weekend! Well, at least up here in Canada it is. The harvest is in, the snow has begun to collect, and it is time to gather with the loved ones and eat your faces off. I was lucky enough to get enough crab apples off the tree yesterday to make a couple delicious pies, and the cooking bonanza has just begun. And, while I am arms deep in the delicious harvest delights, someone has to distract the kids. Oh, good ol' television, babysitting children since the late 20's. I thought I would compile a quick list off movies to get into the festive mood, let's take a gander…
5. Son in Law (1993)
The brandish comedic stylings of Pauly Shore may be out dated for children these days, but for 90's kids, Son in Law is pure nostalgia. Featuring Crawl (The Weasel), as he attempts to get in good with the girl, heads to her farming home in South Dakota for Thanksgiving. His urban, slack attitude puts him in more grief than originally planned as values clash with her family.
4. Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)
Another nostalgic comedy for the pre-millennials, Planes, Trains and Automobiles is one of the greatest films from the late, great John Candy. Control freak Neal Page, played by the always wonderful Steve Martin, is trying to get home for Thanksgiving weekend. After a plane reroute and a dastardly snowstorm, Neal is forced to bunk and travel with the extremely annoying and talkative character played by Mr. Candy.
3. Addams Family Values (1993)
They just don't make Thanksgiving movies like they used to. This movie makes the list for one specific scene that I am always reminded of come the season. A revenge for the native Americans is played out in a graphic scene portrayed by Wednesday (Chritina Ricci) and Pugsly Addams (Jimmy Workman). The dark children create a mutiny in their camp play and even put councillors on the spit to prove their point.
2. Free Birds (2013)
Modern animated film, Free Birds, takes a unique perspective on the feast of the holidays, as we look at things from the turkeys view. Pardon turkey, Reggie (Owen Wilson) and his dim witted peer, Jake (Woody Harrelson), travel back in time to the first Thanksgiving dinner in an attempt to save their species from the horrible fate of the yearly ritual. And it turns out that their kind have not always been the brainless idiots they are today.
1. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973)
Leave it to The Peanut Gang to create a classic holiday film. This classic television special features Charlie getting in another sticky situation as Patty takes it upon herself to invite the neighborhood over for Thanksgiving dinner. Obviously, morals are learned, as is a must with a Charlie Brown special. And, everyone enjoys a great dinner together with their closest friends. Leaving fans happy just to hear the awesome Charlie Brown theme song.
Thanks booknerds, and happy eating to my Canadian brethren.

Enactment of the Protection of Personal Information Bill delayed
The latest news on the Bill's journey through the parliamentary committees is that on 13 February 2013 the NCOP's Select Committee on Security and Constitutional Development heard more detailed submissions from its content advisor, the drafters from the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, the SA Law Reform Commisson and the Financial Services Board. See this article on Legalbrief Policy Watch.
The minute of that meeting reflects that there is a way to go still for this bill. In addition, the workshop which was planned for early March 2013 was postponed until further notice (see cyber law expert Francis Cronje's blog).
We will continue with our introductory articles on POPI in the next CLR.

Helloooo again,
Well I am back to share with you another ( and my favourite) layout that I created for my Scrapbooking Memories Magazine application...
I have had this idea for a "Rainbow" for a really long time and originally I was thinking of perhaps creating the layout with a ton of flowers layered on there. In the end , and at the last minute I scraped that idea and went the water colour way. I felt that this represents my style more and I am so glad I went this way instead..
I managed to use up a lot of my older bits and bobs that I had lying around,while still mixing it in with the newer goodies like the resin flowers and the Heidi Swapp disco heart.
It really was fun pulling this layout together and I am keen to try something similar ,but just not to sure what just yet. The bright colours and watercolour have me hook , line and sinker.
Thanks so much for looking and I will be back again soon to share more of my application..
Till next time
Much Love

The VLM Mixer promotes homogenous mixing by creating micro and macro eddy currents, which are swiftly dispersed by an reciprocating donut shaped hydro-disk.
The force and distribution of these currents are determined by the size, frequency and stroke length of the disk. The energized fluid currents are distributed throughout the vessel on its own strengths resulting in a rapid and intense momentum exchange. The rate and degree of agitation can be controlled by a Variable Speed Controller (Inverter).
In open top vessals, the safe and easy access to the hydro-disk and drive shaft is a unique maintenance feature of the ESM design.

Life after the finish line, where to from here?
Update August 2015: This is the first blog post I published on my old blog, Making It Up back in May 2014! While a lot of my blog (now Career Chronicles) has changed since I penned this post, I wanted to keep this without updating it, as a reminder to myself of how far I've come! Some of my old posts really reflect the challenging situation I was in at the time - I was desperately unhappy at work, and couldn't work out how to get myself out of this situation. If you are feeling unhappy with your current job or circumstances, read this and remember you can only go forwards. Phoebe.
Life after the finish line
I never considered myself to be the "marathon running" type. Long distance has never been my thing. Recently though I realised that I had been running a metaphorical marathon all my life, and the finish line had snuck up on me. Now I was standing on the other side, with no idea where to go.
The other day, a blog post by Gretchen Rubin caught my eye, where she talked about the danger of the finish line:
"A finish line marks a stopping point, and once we stop, we must start over, and starting over is harder than starting. The more dramatic the goal, the more decisive the end—and the more effort required to start over."
These feelings are pretty common for someone in their mid 20s. The finish line mentality starts building at school: you work hard to get good grades, your good grades get you into your chosen degree, where your continued dedication and ability to manage the multiple extracurriculars you need to show your diversity of talent lands you an internship, and ultimately you land yourself the holy grail of all career goals: the grad job.
Getting a grad job in a highly competitive market is a huge achievement. A big tick off your life list. So you happily get on board the daily grind, and chances are you are so busy learning, trying to impress, trying not to screw up that a few months or years fly past.
But then what? Until now, your measure of career success has always been to land yourself a good job, not put those student debts to waste, get your first set of business cards. Then one day you wake up, and wonder to yourself - what on earth now?!
This is the danger of the finish line.
In her post, Gretchen noted that once we decide that we have achieved success, we tend to stop moving forward. So how do you get back on the right track?
I am not going to lie. This realisation hit me a few months ago, and it hit me pretty damn hard. Getting back on track wasn't easy. In fact, some days I hardly had the energy to get out of bed, let alone redefine my goals, work out where I am going and who I am.
Where to from here?
Working in a busy profession, its pretty easy to forget who you are. Taking a step back, to remember who I am, and what is important to me, was the first step to getting back on track.
So I am trying a new approach: I am going to be me. I am looking for ways to combine my work, with things that I am passionate about - mentoring, learning and being inspired. I am creating goals that are more diverse. I am going to have time for the relationships that are important to me, but I am also going to put myself out there and meet new and interesting people. I am going to stop beating myself up about my perceived flaws. I am going to be positive, and take charge of my own life. To do things my own way.
Sure, within these goals I have measures of success. And everyday I feel that I am getting closer to achieving these. It is time to take a break from the exhausting finish lines.

Having come from a background in reporting on technology, I've seen far more than my share of social media tools come and go. Very few have been actually impressive in any function, focusing more on flashy design to tell you the same thing that any other one could tell you. So when I saw what Tracx has been doing, it was that ah-hah(!) moment that I've been waiting to have for the past few years.
Why Tracx is Different
It's often said that, in tech, you should do one thing and do it very well. While I generally find that to be true, there are many times where focusing on a single thing leaves out the rest of a very important story. That's largely been the case in social media dashboards. They're either for intelligence gathering, management or monetization. Any one of these is a great feature, but the product needs more.
Tracx is different because it spreads its focus among intelligence, management and monetization. It focuses on helping you to make important, informed decisions about where you're spending your time and money. That's a refreshing change.
The intelligence side of Tracx will let you analyze conversations for sentiment and demographics, helping you to stay in touch with your brand. But the system also goes a couple of steps further by implementing influencer management and even geographic mapping so that you can see when someone from Bangladesh is bashing your business in Boston.
The management facet will let you publish to all of your social accounts, of course. But by tracking success of your owned media and keeping conversations into easily-read threads, it also helps you quickly find what's important instead of having to dig.
Finally, the monetization side does exactly what you would hope that it would do – it helps you make smart decisions. By integrating into your existing CRM, and then providing you with leads management, Tracx does everything in its power to remove the guesswork from your social media spend.
Why Do You Need It?
Because you're probably wasting money. Because social media is a hard animal to contain and it's getting more wild every day. Because there's never been a better day to not spend money that you don't have to.
But more than anything else, you need Tracx because it's the first system that actually gives you start-to-finish coverage of your social media presence. The team knows that social business is still very much business, and it has provided a robust set of tools for integrating it with the systems that you're already using.
Take a few minutes to browse the Tracx site and request a demo with the company. For the very first time, it feels like someone has created a social media platform that is not left wanting.

What a Life—So Far!
In June 1949, the Canadian School in Western China held its last graduation ceremony, under the trees outside the Sunday school room. As the only—and last—graduate, I received a home-made blue-blue-and-white certificate from Principal Erwin Newcomb and expressed my earnest desire to return to China as a medical missionary. A few weeks later, I flew to Hong Kong on my way "home" to university. I caught up with the Bacons at the Church Guest House in Hong Kong, and together we caught the Northwest Airlines DC4 for Vancouver, an eventful flight that ended in Seattle because of fog.
In September 1949, I started university at Oberlin College, Ohio, and would have completed my degree there but for American Immigration, who cancelled my student visa the second year, explaining to the college president that "Mr Willmott's presence in the country is deleterious to the best interests of the United States of America." It was the McCarthy era, so active opposition to the Korean War, membership in the Young Progressives of America and the YMCA, and even chairmanship of UNESCO were considered subversive activities. So I moved to Montréal and completed a BA in sociology at McGill, where I was active in the Student Christian Movement, then entered McGill Medical School in September 1953.
Disillusioned with medical training, I quit medicine in January 1954 and became a lithography press apprentice briefly, then provincial youth secretary for the Canadian Communist Party (then called the Labour Progressive Party) for two years. In December 1955 I married Patricia Toby of Edmonton. In 1957, disillusioned with the Party, I returned to McGill to complete an MA in anthropology based on a summer's fieldwork among the Inuit at Inukjuak in the Ungava.
My doctoral program at the London School of Economics was interrupted for 18 months' teaching at UBC (where my first daughter was born), finally completed in 1964 based on a year's research on the Chinese community in Cambodia. Then I returned to UBC to teach Anthropology and Asian Studies. Much of my extracurricular time was spent speaking against the Vietnam War. I married for a second time in 1964, Ann Berney from New Zealand, who brought three daughters to our marriage, and together we adopted a son (I lost my daughter when I separated from Pat.)
On my first sabbatical, we lived in New Zealand for a year 1970-71, and decided we would like to move here, so I made myself known to all six NZ universities. A year later a job came up at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch. When the chair of sociology was offered to me, I accepted, and we moved here in September 1973. I taught at Canterbury until I retired in January 1998.
After Ann died, I married Diana Madgin in 1985 and helped her bring two daughters through their teens. We now share seven children (biological, adopted, step) spread around the world, six grandchildren and one great grand daughter. Three children and one grandson have visited China with us.
Throughout my academic life, most of my research has focused on Chinese communities abroad: BC, Cambodia, Singapore, and Pacific Islands. For eight years after retirement, I was attached to a Pacific studies research centre at Canterbury completing my final project. Now I am writing a biography of my parents, who spent 30 years in China.
Since coming to Christchurch, I have been active in the New Zealand China Friendship Society, so have enjoyed continuous connection with China in different ways. I was national president of the NZCFS for ten years, Christchurch Branch president before that. Diana has also been branch president, and we are both on the national executive today. Most enjoyable has been leading ten tours to China, including three garden tours with Diana. Our most recent tour (for family and friends) was in May 2008; we were bussing to the Guilin airport to catch our plane to Chengdu when the terrible earthquake struck. We were relieved to learn that none of our friends in and near Chengdu had been seriously affected, disappointed not to visit my home town.

I have to admit, when the first MIX was happening it confused me. Yet another conference? In my usual pessimistic self I tried to convince people that it was wrong, blah, blah. But I was wrong. MIX has become of of my favorite conferences to attend. Not only for the announcements that likely happen, but for the networking with industry folks in an area I'm most passionate about.
Enough gushing though. I'm going to MIX09. Will you be there? If you register before 13 Feb 2009, you'll be able to get $400 off the registration fees! Register on the MIX09 site with RSVP code MIX09offer and you'll get the discount. I realize that most organizations (and individuals) are feeling the crunch of the pressures of life and our world economy. Forking out $1200 (or I suppose $800 with the discount code above) isn't an easy sell during these types of times. I'll say this though: If you are doing web or rich internet application development, THIS is the conference you want to go to. Here's a few reasons why in my opinion:
That's just a few simple reasons. Obviously I'm partial to the Silverlight content. I've personally submitted 5 sessions (yet to hear if they'll be accepted), but am looking forward to being there regardless. I hope you're able to make it and convince anyone you need that this would be training funds well spent!

President's Message
Susan Lutgendorf, PhD, APS President
It has been a great honor and a pleasure to serve as President of APS and I am very grateful to have had this opportunity as I look upon APS as my "professional home". I have enjoyed working closely with the members of the Executive Committee, Dr. Tica Hall, Immediate Past President, Dr. Karen Weihs, President-Elect, and Dr. Urs Nater, Secretary-Treasurer as well as with the Council over the past year. Starting after the Fall Council meeting in October 2013, the Council, which has now been streamlined to 9 people beginning in March 2014, implemented a new communication structure, whereby the entire Council now participates in monthly planning calls to more fully participate in leadership decisions. This spring, Drs. Maria Llabre, Scott Matthews and Paige McDonald will be rotating off of Council after 3 years of dedicated service, and we will be welcoming two new Council members, Drs. Erin Costanzo and Tara Gruenewald.
Much has been accomplished this past year. Our first major order of business following the 2013 Miami meeting was to complete the hotly debated identity/name change voting process. First the membership identified "Association for Biopsychosocial Medicine" as the favored alternative name. The vote in June 2013 on adopting this option vs. retaining American Psychosomatic Society favored retaining the name of American Psychosomatic Society. Following the vote, Council determined that a greater emphasis on dissemination regarding the goal and mission of the Society would help spread the work of the Society. To this end we have undertaken several initiatives, including formulating several changes to update the website as our public "face" to make it more user friendly and to more easily enable viewers to learn basic information about the Society. (For more about dissemination initiatives see the article by Tica Hall in this issue).
In October 2013 APS hosted our second annual one-day specialty conference entitled "Diabetes, Obesity, and the Brain" in Arlington, Virginia. This meeting, masterfully chaired by Dr. Sue Everson-Rose with the very dedicated work of the planning committee, Drs. John Ryan, Andreana Haley, Tica Hall, and Maria Llabre, provided a fascinating overview of current high-impact topics and active debates in the field of neural consequences of obesity, diabetes, and their related complications. The meeting was highly interactive, with animated discussions and interchange, and although participation by Federal employees was hampered by the government shutdown, we all felt that the meeting had achieved its goal of stimulating interchange in this cutting-edge field and promoting the visibility of APS. Plans for our next one day meeting are underway.
The Young Investigator Colloquium, which had its debut at the 2013 meeting, was highly successful, providing a forum for a select group of 25 young investigators to meet in small groups with 10 Past Leader mentors for research and career development. We will be holding another Young Investigator Colloquium in San Francisco with another talented group of 25 young investigators and 10 Past Leaders as mentors.
We have two new Special Interest Groups (SIGs) (Sexual Minority Health, chair: Dr. Eli Puterman, and Global Health, co-chairs: Drs. Moto Nakajima and Mustafa al'Absi).
Coming up is our 2014 Annual Meeting which will be held in San Francisco, March 12-15, 2014 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco. Dr. Kristen Salomon from the University of South Florida has done a magnificent job of leading the program committee this year, with the excellent help of the program committee members. The meeting theme is "Stretching the Boundaries: From Mechanisms of Disease to Models of Health," and is designed to highlight various ways in which our field is expanding and changing. "Stretching the Boundaries" involves embracing new technologies from e-medicine to greater utilization of genomic and neuroscience perspectives as part of our understanding of Psychosomatic Medicine. It involves greater integration of Complementary and Alternative/Integrative medicine perspectives and technologies with Psychosomatic Medicine, as well as ways to support the well-being of patients and communities with our research and discoveries. We have a wonderful lineup of featured speakers including Gary Gibbons, MD, Director of the NIH National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute who will be talking about his recent research on health disparities; Wayne Katon, MD, Professor, Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, School of Public Health, University of Washington who will be discussing integration of mental health service models into primary care settings;Margaret Chesney, PhD, Director, UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, Distinguished Professor of Medicine, UCSF School of Medicine who will be discussing research in integrative medicine, and Steve Cole, PhD, Professor of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA who will be talking about computational bioinformatics.
Finally, I would like to thank all the dedicated staff of Degnon Associates who work diligently behind the scenes to make our organization work smoothly and orchestrate our meetings. I look forward to seeing you at our 72nd Annual Meeting, March 12-15 in San Francisco. Until then, be well and take good care.

One of the things I enjoys about homeschooling is that it gives my boys the opportunity to interact with children of other ages. Every Friday morning while Micah and Sophia are at preschool, Cooper gets to come hang out with his cousins Jake and Luke. I so enjoy watching them interact, relate, play and take care of Cooper. I think he enjoys it too! He is so excited to get here and just soaks up the boy time. Some school work still has to be done, so Cooper likes to help out.

Ukrainian politicians are afraid if they are reminded of their promises
August 23, Ukrainian media said that "separatists" installed loudspeakers along the lines of delimitation and "psychologically attack" on the Ukrainian military.
"The separatists used "cutting" of the speeches of the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk with all the promises that they made during 2013-2015 and which, because of various reasons, have not been realized," – anchorman Yuri Bibik said on Ukrainian television broadcast "112 Ukraine".
"In the opinion of our military specialists, loudspeakers are used with an acoustic output of at least 144 dB, which are able to cover an area 15 square km over. It's very loud. Broadcasting does not stop even for a minute for more than 12 hours.
It is a psychological attack aimed at undermining confidence in the leadership of Ukraine and that must be stopped, including through international organizations." – Yuri Bibik outraged.
As proverb states, nothing hurts like the truth.

More Positive Signs for Housing
The single most asked question I get as a Realtor is, "how is the market?" I'll be the first to admit that as much as I read about real estate and try to understand the market, the answer to that question over the past two years has been a bit of an uncertainty. The economic experts seem to provide conflicting reports on the state of our economy and that makes it difficult to have confidence when answering the real estate question.
One thing is clear; the number of positive articles, blogs, and economic forecasts have slowly been rising over the last six to nine months. It is refreshing to hear more and more good news about job growth, GDP growth, and most importantly (in my opinion) is consumer confidence. It is obvious that some areas, like Michigan, are still very severly affected by job losses which has compounded the housing downturn. Some areas will be in recovery mode for years to come.
The good news for us in the Colorado market is that we have been on the front end of the housing recovery since it started. We did not have the high increases in home prices when other parts of the country were soaring with 15+% increases per year. Because we did not have the artificial jump in prices, we did not have as far to fall when the market turned.
I'm a big fan of stats and I'll be posting the year end stats for 2010 very soon. Until then, here is another article by an expert that has some good stats included.
Help May Be Available
One of the most difficult aspects of being a Real Estate Professional in today's market is helping folks who are struggling to pay their mortgage. It is challenging as a professional because the ins and outs of the foreclosure or short sale process and the options available to avoid foreclosure are constantly changing. It is difficult as person because I care about the people who contact me for help and it is difficult to watch them struggle through a difficult time. As you might imagine, over the past couple of years those types of questions have come more frequently. The good news is that there are programs designed to help!
There are programs specifically created to help homeowners avoid foreclosure and remain in their homes. There are options available to refinance or modify your loan. There are programs to help people modify a high interest rate second mortgage. There are non-biased third party organizations created to help people navigate all of the options and determine the best course of action.
One viable option to avoid foreclosure is a short sale. A short sale is when a lender agrees to take less for the house than what is owed on it. The home is listed on the market and sold to a buyer for less than the current mortgage amount. A short sale requires approval from the lender, because the lender is agreeing to be "shorted" the difference. While a short sale will not save your credit, it can be less damaging than a foreclosure.
Every case is different, and sometimes the best choice is foreclosure. There are many reasons people find themselves considering a foreclosure or short sale; medical expenses, loss of job, maturing adjustable rate mortgage, pending balloon payment and others. If you or someone you know is thinking about a short sale or foreclosure, here are some things to keep in mind.
1. Don't wait. Many times a short sale requires time to communicate with the lender(s) and get your home on the market. If there isn't enough time the lender may decide to proceed with a foreclosure. Get help before you miss your first payment.
2. Check out your options. There are several options available that may help. Check out this site for details: http://makinghomeaffordable.gov/eligibility.html.
3. Connect with a Housing Counseling Agency. Here is a link to the local agencies that may be able to help: http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hcc/hcs.cfm?webListAction=search&searchstate=CO
4. Do not rely on second hand information. If you want immediate answers and quidance you can contact the Colorado Foreclosure Hotline at: (877)601-HOPE or (877) 601-4673
5. If you just need some help managing your credit, budgeting your money, debt management contact a credit counselor for confidential help: http://www.creditpage.com/credit_help/colorado_credit.html
This is not a fun subject for any of us, but it is important information if you or someone you love is facing foreclosure. I hope you find this helpful. As always, call or email me if I can help.
What Projects Should You Be Considering for Your Home?
There are a lot of questions about real estate in today's market. As a Realtor, I hear one question a lot. "What can I do to fix up my house without over doing it?" In other words, how do I get the best bang for my buck? There is great information out there about what projects have the best "pay off" in terms of increasing the value of your home. The real tricky part is that each home is different.
It is impossible to give a blanket answer to the question, "how is the real estate market?" It's like asking what is the national weather forecast for today? The question just doesn't make any sense. The same principle applies when we talk about getting the best bang for your buck with home improvements. There are just too many variables. Your home may be very different than a friend's home, so there is no magic answer. However, there are some questions to consider when thinking about a home remodel project:
1. How long do you plan to live in the home? If you plan to sell the home within a year and you are "prepping" it to sell, the projects may be different than if you are doing it for your own enjoyment.
2. How much equity do you have in your home? When you consider the current market value of your home and subtract what you owe on your mortgage, what is that amount? It is good to know if you owe more on your home than it is worth in today's market before you spend money on improvements that may not yield much when it comes time to sell.
3. What is the condition of the systems of your home? How old is your furnace, windows, water heater, AC, roof, siding, etc.?
There are other questions to consider before making the plunge. The value of your home relative to the neighborhood is a big factor to take into consideration. It is very important to understand at what point your remodel project turns from an investment in your future to consumer spending; and each neighborhood is different. Another important thing to consider is what updates are needed that are more functional than cosmetic? (Question #3 above.) I find that when people are thinking of updating their home they want to "see" some upgrades or improvements for their money. It is not always fun to spend a bunch of money on your home and not really see much to show for it because you spent the money on the systems of your home. However, spending your money on those items may be your best investment.
I've attached a link to the leading source of information on this subject for our area. Remember, each home is different so please do your own research before diving into a big project. Check out the numbers here.
There is an article that goes along with these numbers that you may also find interesting. Cost vs. Value: Help Clients Stretch Their Remodeling Dollars.
Do you need the names of some trusted contractors? Would you like to know where your home value stands now? Would you like to have some suggestions on home projects that make sense for your home? If so, please call or email and we can answer those questions together.
I hope you find this useful information. If there is anything more I can do to help please let me know.
I'm now a CERTIFIED NEGOTIATION EXPERT!
This was a fun! I got to study the ins and outs of negotiations from one of the best teachers in the state. We learned about some very interesting ideas and case studies. I really enjoyed the live negotiation practice sessions!
I've been negotiating contracts for over 17 years now and it has always been something that I've enjoyed. When I found out about this negotiating expert designation I signed up right away. It is arguably one of the most important designations available for someone who negotiates on behalf of others. I'm grateful to have had the experience and look forward to putting it into practice!

DENVER (CBS4)– The overall health of children in Colorado is getting worse, not better. Kids in Colorado get a C- when it comes to their health.
The Colorado Health Foundation released its yearly report card on the health of Coloradans Thursday. The report outlines the factors that contribute to the overall health.
More than 18 percent of children across the state live below the poverty level. Nine percent have no form of health insurance. Fifteen percent of children are considered obese.
Health experts believe these figures can be changed with just a little work.
"Parents can make good choices. Obviously we know that fresh food, particularly fresh fruits and vegetables, are difficult to come by because they are expensive. But I think exercising with the kids, walking in the park, doing all the things that you want, that you can do to make a difference," said Colorado Health Department's Chief Medical Officer Dr. Chris Urbina.
The Colorado Health Foundation states there are areas that have improved across the state, including education. Schools have increased physical activity, improved lunch menus and even curbed junk food in vending machines.
It is not just in Colorado.
As the U.S. slips into Third World Status, this sort of thing will increase.

Prohibitory orders will come into force around Sabarimala from Saturday evening. (File)
Police are on high-alert and tight security arrangements are place as Sabarimala temple is set to open for monthly 'pujas' on November 5 after a period of violent protests over the entry of women of menstrual age.
Head priest Unnikrishnan Namboodiri will open the temple doors and light the lamp at the 'Sreekovil' (sanctum sanctorum) on November 5 at 5 pm.
According to a Kerala police press release 1,500 personnel are guarding Sabarimala and nearby areas. A 20-member commando team has been deployed at Sannidhanam, Nilackal and Pamba. Prohibitory orders will come into force from Saturday midnight.
Barricades have been erected at many places en route to Nilackal and police is allowing vehicles only after checking.
Comprehensive traffic arrangements have been made in Pathnamthitta, where the shrine is situated. Private vehicles carrying pilgrims would be allowed to go only up to Nilackal, a base camp, police said.
Kerala police has introduced online booking for pilgrims, which would enable them to conveniently choose the day and time of 'darshan'.
According to officials, Kerala State Road Transport Corporation tickets are compulsory for all pilgrims, who reach Nilackal.
Kerala government has said it is ready for talks with the Nair Service Society (NSS), an outfit which is against entry of women of menstrual age into the hill shrine.
BJP leader K Surendran alleged that government had some "hidden agenda" on Sabarimala temple. He said the party's state president, PS Sreedharan Pillai, has received a "death threat" on Saturday.

Silver men - a new breed is born.
Can the adage 'there's no good pilots, only old pilots' apply to men?... Obviously not, as the concepts of greatness or being good looking has nothing to do with age. However, the idea around what is it to be an older man has evolved quite a bit in the last 40 years. Why would you want to take care of yourself a couple of decades ago when money and social status was enough to get by. Style, grooming, attention to design was even considered as too feminine to be consider something a real man should do!
Fortunately, thanks to many innovators and boundary pushers we can now think more openly, have conversations about style and fashion – An interesting shift is the coming of age of the silver man concept. Remember our grandfathers, grey haired, often not in the best shape, theylooked and behaved like old persons. And being old had nothing to do with being useless, finished or any negative concept. Many of our grandfathers were kind, wise, loving, and powerful figures. But these general characteristics were often associated with a sense of something which will soon end and the energy that emanated was a sort of winding down.
When looking at the new breed of silver men, yes they do look amazingly beautiful, but more than that, they have great style and carry so much energy. They have continued to look for new clothes, shoes, exploring colour matching of hip accessories, enchanting fragrances and some of them are in better shape than a 20 years old. I guess, part of it, is to keep feeling alive, to be a part of our society, and doing it with style for the satisfaction to reach the concept of a job well done. I guess with age, comes a better understanding of what's involved in amazing craftsmanship, the time required to master a skill, specific gestures, and accumulated experiences. With age, everything associated with the concept of time is taken to another level. Yes Chronos is slowly and regularly doing his work, but we appreciate how a good wine ages, how a leather bag acquires character, a wooden boat demands respectability.
The contemporary silver men are the former babies of the sixties and they grew up with parents who had witnessed the civil rights movement, the rise of feminism and of equal rights for LGBTQ+ people. The direct consequences are an openness to new ways to live, to embrace new cultures, to value both feminine and masculine sides – Their tastes are not defined by their gender, race or age.
Let's keep exploring, coming up with new ideas, built on accumulated experiences and more importantly render age as a non existent concept.
