Vizibility Slides Out Passbook, vCard Following and Mobile Business Card Directories
NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Vizibility announced today that RE/MAX Regional Services, one of the largest RE/MAX franchisors in the United States, is offering digital business cards to its 4,500 real estate brokers and agents across Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Southern Ohio and Southeastern Michigan. Vizibility's popular Mobile Business Card is a personalized mobile microsite which is used to package and share a professional's contact information and web presence. Agents can easily share their new Mobile Business Cards using Passbook on their iPhones as well as with QR codes printed on business cards, listings and other sales materials. Agents can also share their Mobile Business Cards wirelessly with Near Field Communication (NFC) using Vizibility's plastic Mobile Wallet Card.
"In today's competitive real estate climate, we have to push the envelope of technology to give our agents a competitive edge. We also must provide home buyers with the best tools to make what may be the most important decision of their lives," said Dane Ellison, CEO of RE/MAX Regional Services. "Technologies like Vizibility's Mobile Business Card can help our agents get more opportunities to share their listings, provide mobile virtual tours and engage effortlessly with prospective home buyers. By making it a little easier to close sales, we're making it a lot easier for our RE/MAX agents to be more successful."
Vizibility is the first company to use Passbook for sharing Mobile Business Cards and RE/MAX Regional Services is the first to implement it on a large scale. Passbook, recently introduced with Apple's iOS6, allows users to keep boarding passes, movie tickets, coupons, loyalty cards and more in one place. Major companies are supporting Passbook including Target, Starbucks, United Airlines, American Airlines, Google and Ticketmaster.
Vizibility is also introducing three game-changing Mobile Business Card features:
- CardSense™ enables Passbook users to select locations where their Mobile Business Card Pass can be instantly accessed from their iPhone lock screen with a finger swipe. This capability makes it a snap to share contact information at the office, tradeshows, networking events, open houses, or anywhere else frequent, fast access to a Mobile Business Card is needed. Locations are set right on the back of the Pass.
- CardFollow™ enables people to receive updates when the vCard they previously downloaded from a Mobile Business Card changes. This patent-pending feature makes it possible for the first time to stay in sync with specific people without having to sync every personal contact with cumbersome, third-party systems. Vizibility users can easily see and manage their vCard followers.
- The Mobile Directory displays a searchable directory of mobile business cards for everyone in an organization. This feature makes it possible to link a company's business cards together to facilitate discovery and reinforce the depth of an organization's expertise. Vizibility corporate administrators can easily control who appears in their organization's Mobile Directory.
"Smartphones have fundamentally changed the way we buy products and select service providers. Google recently reported that 96% of U.S. smartphone owners have researched a service or product on their mobile devices," said Greg Harris, Product Manager at Vizibility (find Greg in Google at http://viz.me/greg). "The Mobile Business Card is like a personal storefront for professionals. We're excited to be helping enterprises and their people drive revenue using the latest mobile marketing technologies such as Passbook, QR codes and NFC."

I was rooting for Sony, but that would have probably been a step in the wrong direction. Owned by any 1 hardware company wouldn't be that great.
Yeah, I don't want to get into console favoritism here, but what exactly would be wrong about EO on Vita?

Raising Children With an Attitude of Gratitude
Research Finds Real Benefits for Kids Who Say 'Thank You'
At the Branstens' modern white dining table, the family holds hands for their nightly ritual.
Arielle, 8 years old, says she's thankful for her late grandfather, Horace, and how funny he was. "I'm missing him," she says. Her third-grade pal, over for dinner, chimes in, "I'm grateful for the sausages." Leela, who works for an education nonprofit, and her attorney husband Peter, burst into smiles. The San Francisco couple couldn't have scripted this better. Appreciation for things big and small—that's why...

Haunted Dolls
Posted 01 October 2008 - 12:07 PM
My friend once had a doll and she loved it and she used to have it in bed with her up until her brother painted over the eyes hile she was in school one day and after that it scared the heck out of her so she kept it on her shelf, but every morning she would wake up and find it on the end of her bed. Eventually she was that freaked that her perents put it in the attic, because it was a family airloom. But my friend got even more freaked because at night she said she could hear it in the attic moving about, so eventually they had to get rid of it.

Seriously!! Was that the only time your toy ever did that? Was this an antique doll or did you buy it new?
As a kid I used to swear that my cuddly toys moved during the night from their origonal places. But it didnt scare me, then only a few year back I bought a little cuddly toy dog, and i sat it on my shelf facing the side. I went to watch tv and when I went into my room later on it was facing forwards.

And my lucky charm kinda thing is a small plush bunny that I found down the back of my waderobe and my mum and dad swear they have never seen it before and I couldnt remember it ever being mine, and we put the waderobe there.
I might show you all a picture when I have a few spare minutes.

Maybe it's not the dolls, maybe it's the homes you've moved to that are haunted. I posted before that I thought most homes in the UK have ghosts...maybe I'm right!
I bought it new from a pharmacy, but in my old house before we moved to the one we are in now, they used to move almost every night. Id put them up on my shelf and wake up with them on my bed and stuff.

The bunny might've been a forgotten gift someone gave you when you were a baby. Parents can't remember all the gifts their kids have received right?
Posted 07 October 2008 - 01:54 PM
Not all houses in the UK are haunted, but in my old house I had terrifying nightmares and would never go upstairs on my own.
My new one the only thing that has ever happened is our old dog used to bark at the chair in the corner of the room and then follow someone around the room to the area were the doorway used to be.
So I dont think every house is haunted in the uk, theres just more history and crazy people
Posted 09 October 2008 - 11:32 AM
and i dont no if i said this in my earlier post but if you sat on the couch in the dark and in complete scilence you could hear noises coming from the doll room it was like a couple of crashes then like bangs like something was hitting the door and little bangs like something was moveing about the room very slowly i would be to scared to go in at night by myself and check it out but i would check in the morning and the dolls would be either the same or just slightly moved but i could have been imaginating it or something
then as for the plush animals moving my sister would but it on the dresser then i would come in in the morning and wake her up on the weekend just to be a jerk lol but then i would see the dog on the chair beside her bed and ask her if he was supposed to guard her then she would look at it and say she left it on the dresser and she didnt move it
doll freak me out to begin with though
Posted 09 October 2008 - 11:36 AM
Can the doll room be locked? Because Id double or maybe triple lock it lol.

Sunday's "I Am Cait" premiere included one very shocking revelation: Caitlyn Jenner once thought about committing suicide.
In the premiere episode, Cait gets a message from Katharine Prescott, the mother of a 14-year-old trans boy who recently took his own life.
"That's the problem that we have here is that it happens all the time," Jenner tells her mom and sisters. "Suicide is a permanent solution for a very temporary problem. And most of the ones that are at risk are these young kids. Have their whole life ahead of them. It just doesn't need to happen."
Jenner then gets emotional as she reveals her own heartbreaking experience with contemplating suicide.
PICS: Other transgender celebs
"I know how these kids can feel. I've had some very dark moments in my life," Cait says. "I have been in my house, with a gun and said, 'Let's just end it right here. No more pain. No more suffering.'"
"That struggle, it's real, and I've been there," she adds.
As E! News previously reported, Caitlyn later visited the Prescott family to provide some support and comfort. "He was going to get there and he was going to do amazing things," Katharine told Caitlyn during the visit. "He was young. He was still just 14. At that age, they just don't realize they're going to get through it, they can get through it, they can get to these wonderful things on the other side."
"It's so hard for young people, because they just don't...they can't see the future and because of that they become extraordinarily desperate, and suicide becomes an option," Caitlyn added. "We have to do something about that."
Fans also got to see the moment Jenner's youngest daughter Kylie Jenner saw Cait for the first time. Caitlyn receives an unexpected FaceTime video chat from the 17-year-old and tells her "I dont' want to scare you" after answering the call.
"You're not scaring me," Kylie says. "You look pretty."

Moving to Austria?
Austria: Visas, Residence & Work Permits
Becoming an Austrian Resident
Moving to Austria is significantly easier for EU/EEA citizens. You don't need a visa to enter the country, nor do you need a residence or work permit to live, seek, or take up employment. Since the beginning of 2014, citizens of Romania and Bulgaria also enjoy free labor market access. For Croatian nationals, certain restrictions regarding work permits are still in place.
However, all EU/EEA citizens intending to move to Austria for more than three months need to apply for permanent residency within four months of their arrival. This can be done at a competent residence authority like the state governor (Landeshauptmann), or an administrative district authority (Bezirksverwaltungsbehörde). In order to receive a registration certificate, you will have to prove that you are financially independent and able to support yourself.
Moving from outside the EU
If you are not an EU/EEA citizen, you may need a visa to enter Austria. An overview of visa regulations for certain countries can be found in the Bürgerservice section on the website of the Austrian Foreign Ministry. Alternatively, you can contact the nearest Austrian Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence (or the diplomatic missions of the Schengen state which represents Austria in your area). This is also the best way to access detailed information on the application cost and processing times, and the documents required to obtain a visa.
Some types of visas merely allow you to enter the country while others are tied to specific work or residence permits. Below, we present a few categories that may be relevant for expats.
The EU Blue Card
This type of residence and work permit allows highly qualified non-EU citizens to live and work in Austria for up to two years. It is tied to a confirmed job offer, and will only be granted if the AMS (the Austrian Labor Market Service) is satisfied that no Austrian or EU citizen is available to do the work specified.
Only applicants who have completed a university degree course of at least three years are eligible for a Blue Card. Their qualifications must match the job profile, and the salary specified in the work contract must be 1.5 times higher than the average yearly income of full-time employees in Austria. The figures are published regularly by Statistik Austria. You can expect the application process to last approximately eight weeks.
The Red-White-Red Card
Non-EU citizens who qualify as "key workers" can apply for a Red-White-Red Card, which allows them to work for a specified employer and live in Austria for a period of 12 months. In order to qualify as a key worker, you must be high qualified, a skilled worker in a shortage occupation, a self-employed key worker, or a graduate of an Austrian university.
The Red-White-Red Card works on a points-based system. Depending on which of the above categories you belong to, you must fulfill certain criteria before you can apply. Please consult the Austrian Migration Portal for more information and a points calculator to help you determine your eligibility.
After ten months of working and living in Austria, Red-White-Red Card holders may apply for a Red-White-Red Card plus, which entitles them to free access to the Austrian labor market. Family members of Red-White-Red or of Blue Card holders are also eligible to apply for a Red-White-Red Card plus.
The Jobseeker Visa
This six-month permit is intended for highly qualified non-EU citizens who are interested in working in Austria but have not yet managed to secure a job offer and thus cannot apply for one of the above permits. Please note that the Jobseeker Visa merely allows you to look for work —you must still apply for a work permit if your job hunt has been successful.
Similar to the Red-White-Red Card, the Jobseeker Visa operates on a points basis. Applicants must meet the required criteria in order to apply for this visa. The issuing of a Jobseeker Visa is managed by the AMS. All application documents must be submitted together with a German or English translation.
We do our best to keep this article up to date. However, we cannot guarantee that the information provided is always current or complete.

Ireland's parliament has passed an historic abortion bill by 127 votes to 31. It will now be sent to the rubber stamp Senate where passage is assured.
President Michael D. Higgins will pass it into law or he may refer it to the Supreme Court to test its constitutionality.
The bill called The Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill came about to satisfy a 1992 Supreme Court judgement known as the X case where a suicidal 14 year old was raped and refused travel to Britain to have an abortion.
The Supreme Court ruled that abortion should be allowed if there was a threat to the mother's life or if she was suicidal.
Nothing was done to give a legislative framework to the decision however, until the Bill was drawn up following the death of Savita Halappanavar, an Indian dentist who passed away of sepsis in a Galway hospital in October of 2012.
She was denied an abortion as she miscarried 17-weeks into her pregnancy and she later died.
Despite pleading for an abortion she was told it was not allowed because "Ireland is a Catholic country."
Five members of the ruling Fine Gael party refused to vote with the government and were dismissed from the party.
European Affairs Minister Lucinda Creighton was the most high profile after she voted against the bill over the suicide clause. She was replaced by Paschal Donohoe as minister.
Creighton said after her resignation: "It's very disappointing and I would rather that I wasn't here.
For me, this is a very important piece of legislation, one which is against a commitment that we made at the last election - a promise had been made, a very fundamental promise - on abortion.
"I just felt that I couldn't remove from that promise that we made at the last election."
She said it "was not possible" to compromise on matters of "life and death."
Sinn Fein member Peadar Toibin also voted against his party's whip and is likely to be expelled.
A 14-year prison term for procuring an abortion outside the narrow guidelines is also part of the bill.
That replaces a penal servitude for life sentence in the old legislation. Liberal opponents had argued against any prison sentence

A persistent legend haunts Denver cops, convincing some that reporting their fellows for excessive force could have dangerous repercussions, retired division chief Dan O'Hayre told a civil service commission hearing panel.
The legend: some years ago an officer reported another for using excessive force. As a consequence, his dog was poisoned, house blown up and he was beaten up.
The truth: there was an officer who reported another and the report led to that other cop being disciplined, but no home was destroyed, no dog murdered. "All the bad things they report didn't happen, as far as I could determine," said O'Hayre, who testified at an appeal by Officer Chuck Porter of his firing in an excessive force case. Former Safety Manager Al LaCabe fired Porter, 44, after concluding he stomped on a teen's back causing liver and kidney damage.
The fact that much of the story about the ostracized officer is untrue didn't stop many in the rank and file from believing it, said O'Hayre, who retired several years ago.
Officers believed that their colleagues would freeze them out, call in sick rather than work with them, refuse to come running when they needed help, O'Hayre said. "There's a lot of war stories out there. Officers perceived that it was true, that they wouldn't get cover. I think when it comes right down to it when an officer needs cover for safety reasons everybody puts all that junk aside," said O'Hayre.
A cop who witnesses another use excessive force on someone is required to report it immediately. But they would rather the officer who struck the blows own up to it, he said. If that doesn't happen, O'Hayre said, "it is every man for himself. I can't help you any more and I'm not taking a fall for you. Then you pull the fire alarm, you tell on them."
Under a discipline matrix that kicked in this year, Denver cops are far more likely to be fired for covering up, or participating in excessive force, than they once were. "I hope these young cops realize the jeopardizing their careers by not realizing that the old school days and old school ways are over," O'Hayre said.

Our theme park enthusiast brethren over at the LATimes.com, Brady MacDonald likes to put together his most anticipated rides for the upcoming year pretty early on.
His take on the best new rides coming in 2014 he put together back in July 2013, but that's not too unusual considering the lead time theme parks like to take from announcement to opening.
Now that the new year has finally arrived, though, it seems fitting to roll his top 14 take back out. It's a great look at what's coming to theme parks around the entire country this year.
Not that Orlando isn't well represented.
The Harry Potter expansion at Universal Orlando is there. So is the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at the Magic Kingdom as is Falcon's Fury at Busch Gardens. Also on the list are new shows at SeaWorld Orlando.
What's not there is the the new Magic Kingdom parade expected this spring with new floats for Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, Tangled and Brave among others.
For what is there, you'll have to click through the gallery (http://thesent.nl/1bZI7nr) to see where they fall on Brady's list. Agree with Brady's take?

Ten Second Review
Since its launch in 2012, the Peugeot 208 has dramatically improved its French brand's proposition in the supermini sector - but time moves on. Since its original introduction, just about every key rival has been either refreshed or re-launched. Hence the need for this smarter, cleverer and more efficient facelifted version. It's a small car with very big ideas.
'The idea here was to create the most economical car in the world that could transport four people in comfort'. It's a statement that could have been made yesterday. Actually, it dates back to 1929 and Robert Peugeot's speech at the launch of his company's 201 model at the Paris Motorshow. Arguably, this was the market's very first supermini, the beginning of a whole series of small 2-designated Peugeots that would, over the next eighty years, bring the French brand 15 million global sales and finally culminate, in the Summer of 2012, in the launch of a model perfectly designed to realise it's French founder's vision - in the modern era. This car, the 208. At this model's original launch, it got some of the things the PSA Group was developing for its modern era volume cars - an infotainment touchscreen and 1.0 and 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engines - but not all. In comparison to the best rivals in this segment, the connectivity needed an upgrade and the diesel engines were a little behind those of the best rivals. Peugeot has now sorted both these things. You can download the latest apps on the 7-inch central dash display that most models get - and and now use a 'MirrorScreen' system that duplicates the functionality of your smartphone. Under the bonnet, diesel variants now get the brand's BlueHDi technology with three 1.6-litre units. Plus there's a desiable 1.2-litre turbocharged PureTech 110bhp petrol option borrowed from the larger 308 model. It all sounds promising. Let's check this car out.
Driving Experience
One issue still tends to dominate your thinking the first time you get into this 208 and drive off. Namely the smallest steering wheel you'll find this side of a supercar. A potential problem, you might think, given that in most vehicles, you view the instrument cluster through the wheel. Here though, you don't have to for the instrument pack has been moved to sit up above the wheel as it would do in, say, an MPV. On the road, this car feels light on its feet thanks to a programme of weight-saving that has especially benefitted entry-level variants equipped with the marque's clever three cylinder PureTech petrol engine. This powerplant may only be able to draw on either 68 or 82 braked horses, depending on whether you order it as a 1.0-litre or a 1.2, but that's still enough to throw the car up the road with some alacrity, rest to sixty in the 1.2 detaining you for only 12.2s. If you need more power, there's also a 1.2-litre turbocharged PureTech petrol option devloping 110bhp. This unit can also be specified with the marque's latest EAT6 six-speed automaic gearbox which uses the company's 'Quickshift' technology for faster changes. There's even bigger news on the diesel front, where the brand's efficient BlueHDi technology is now available to 208 buyers in the form of three different 1.6-litre variants, respectively developing either 75, 100 or 120bhp.
Design and Build
Peugeot has tried to make this 208's styling a bit more assertive and distinctive. The restyled front bumper creates a sharper and more precise line, with a wider grille and deeper chrome finisher that is now fully integrated. Plus most models get two-tone headlamps, with black and chrome masks and a hi-tech LED light signature. At the rear, the full LED light clusters have been redesigned to incorporate Peugeot's 3D 'claws' motif. Inside, not too much needed doing. Soft touch plastics, tactile switchgear, chrome highlights and almost faultless ergonomics show other supermini sellers how it should be done. As before, the two main talking points inside are the smallness of the steering wheel (over which you view the high-set instruments) and the colour touchscreen attached to the fascia that controls audio, trip computer and stereo functions and to which you can add a now wider range of clever downloadable apps. The wheel is now trimmed in full-grain leather from Active trim, while the soft-touch moulded dashboard strip - which is standard regardless of trim level - has smarter graining on higher specification models. Despite the slightly more compact outward dimensions, there's a little more room on the back seat than you mght expect - and decent luggage space behind. Don't get us wrong: 285-litres isn't huge by supermini segment standards but it's a very usable space that can be extended to as much as 1,076-litres of you push forward the rear bench.
Market and Model
You'll pay somewhere in the £10,000 to £18,000 bracket for most 208 derivatives, pricing that's pretty much par for the course in the supermini segment. There's a £600 premium to go from the three-door car to the five-door body style. If you're shopping at the bottom of the range, think carefully about paying the £1,300 premium to go from the entry-level 1.0-litre petrol model to the 1.2: that's quite a lot extra to pay for an extra 14bhp. A range of personalisation packs are now available to match the current buying preference in this segment. And no matter which three or five-door 208 model you opt for, you'll find a competitive level of standard equipment included. Yes, you'd probably get more if you bought something from a budget brand but nevertheless, even the entry-level version of this car is decently kitted out with cruise control with a speed limiter to help you keep your licence in urban areas, a stereo with an AUX-in jack and wheel-mounted controls, remote central locking and electric front windows. Fresh technology includes a 'MirrorScreen' feature, which allows you to duplicate the functionality of your smartphone on a dashboard infotainment display that's standard from 'Active' trim upwards and is compatible with apps like Coyote, Parkopedia, Glympse, and Sygic. Safety-wise, buyers can now specify features like a reversing camera and the Active City Brake system that scans the road ahead as you drive for potential collision hazards.
Cost of Ownership
The revised engine line-up means all versions of the 208 meet stringent Euro 6 emissions standards. BlueHDi technology is one of the most effective diesel emissions control systems on the market and every version of this 208 puts out below 95g/km of CO2. With the exception of the 75hp version in entry level trim, all are equipped with Stop & Start (S&S) technology too. The freshly introduced 1.6-litre BlueHDi engines are available with three power levels choices. The first two are the 75 and 100 S&S, which are coupled with a five-speed manual gearbox and capable of impressive economy at 94.1mpg - a record for the segment, and in the market. The third is the 120 S&S which is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, which produces 94g/km of CO2. Most buyers though, will be looking at one of the entry-level petrol variants. Entry-level petrol engines on superminis are often old-tech and thirsty. Not here. The base 68bhp 1.0-litre VTi petrol variant is a car capable of returning nearly 70mpg on the combined cycle and under 100g/km of CO2. Opt for the 1.2-litre petrol variant and you'll hit those figures by about 5%. Further up the petrol line-up, the 1.2-litre turbocharged PureTech 110hp S&S version achieves CO2 emissions of just 103g/km. Even mated to the freshly introduced EAT6 six-speed automatic gearbox, the CO2 figure rises only to 104g/km. Modular and compact, clean and high-performance, this engine is a tour-de-force of efficiency and the latest technology. With a high pressure (200 bar) direct (cylinder) injection system, a new-generation high-efficiency turbocharger (operating at speeds of 240,000rpm), it offers driveability of the highest order in the market, and this from a very low engine speed.

I believe that MOTUC Saurod must be included in the Snakemen.
Evil master of death energy.
He is a bounty hunter obsessed with richness, Saurod is always looking for money and treasures.
He is very loyal to King Hsss and obeys all his orders. But when there isn´t any request of his King he can works for the highest bidder.
He is a master of hunter, expert in energy.

Yin Yoga & Anatomy Workshop at Open Lotus, Cologne
(in German)
"Wherever you go, go with all your heart." (Confucius)
Yin yoga is one of the calmest and most relaxing forms of yoga in the world, consisting of a series of passive poses of the body.
By means of long-held stretches (3–5 minutes) without muscle tension, we focus on the deep connective, fascial and ligamental tissues – stimulating, strengthening and stretching the tissues.
We mobilise the joints, and stimulate and calm the nervous system, thereby reducing stress and encouraging regeneration.
During the practice we temporarily slow down the flow of Chi energy, enabling the revitalising energy to accumulate and then flow more freely on conclusion of the practice.
Indeed for days after a yin yoga practice, we'll feel blissfully relaxed and recharged.
Depending on the length of the workshop, either all or only certain themes of Yin Yoga and Anatomy theory – as listed below – will be discussed.
Depending on the length of the workshop, either all or only a selection of Yin Yoga and Anatomy listed below will be practiced.
All workshops are suitable for yoga teachers and also yoga students wishing to learn more about yin yoga and yoga anatomy.
Workshop I - Yin Yoga
What is yin yoga?
What is yang yoga?
What are the advantages of each kind of yoga?
How do they complement each other?
What is tension and what is compression?
What is the function of our connective tissue/fascia in this practice?
Stress and back pain, and yin yoga as a "therapeutic touch"
Yin yoga class /classes (Paul Grilley style)
Focus: back class
Workshop II - Yoga Anatomy
Skeletal variation
Compression and tension
Analysis of a yoga pose
Skeletal variation tests and practical consequences for yang yoga asanas and assists – such as lotus, shoulder stand, pigeon, down dog, warrior, etc.
We'll analyse the following asanas in detail:
Lotus position - external rotation of the hip joint
Reclining hero - internal rotation of the hip joint
Shoulder Stand - neck, shoulder, collarbone and shoulder blade
We'll discuss the following issues:
What restrictions does my individual bone structure impose on me?
How different is it from other people's bone structure?
Will I or my students ever manage to get into the lotus position or achieve a "perfect" pigeon, etc?
Where are the areas of compression and tension within my individual bone structure? How do I deal with it?
How can I stretch and stimulate the tissues, when compression is constricting me?
What is the physical function of a yoga pose?
Sat 24 October 2020
12.00pm & 4.00pm
Open Lotus, Poller Kirchweg 101, 51105 Köln, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

Apparently, Barbara Walters's idea of balance is grilling Chris Christie about being too fat and unhealthy to be president. Yet, during the same 10 Most Fascinating People of 2012 program, she conducted a girl talk session with Hillary Clinton, laughing with the Secretary of State about her hair. Walters appeared on Wednesday's Good Morning America to promote the show. Talking to Christie, she derided, "I feel very uncomfortable asking this question when I'm sitting opposite you. But you are a little overweight." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
After Christie retorted, "More than a little," Walters actually wondered, "Why [are you overweight]?" To this, the governor reminded, "If I could figure that out, I'd fix it." The journalist interrogated, "There are people who say you couldn't be president because you're so heavy. What do you say to them?" In contrast, Walters gently asked Clinton: "So, I have to ask you this very personal question. Your hair?" After Clinton chuckled, the host enthused, "Nobody asks the men that." The two then shared another laugh.
Oddly, Walters tried to compare the Christie and Clinton interviews, as if they were both hard-hitting, remarking, "So, we asked Hillary about her hair. We asked him about, well, what they call the elephant in the room and that is his weight."
Now, it's possible in the full program, Walters grills Clinton. But considering her history, it's unlikely. Walters will also interview Barack Obama for the program. In December of 2011, she interviewed the President and slobbered, "If you were a superhero and you could have one super power, what would it be?"
The full program airs at 9:30pm on Wednesday.
A transcript of the December 12 GMA segment, which aired at 8:22am EST, follows:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: And I'm over here now with Barbara Walters. Her ten most fascinating people of 2012 airs tonight on ABC.
BARBARA WALTERS: But we also– Hillary Clinton, it's the first, the third time that we've had her on the most fascinating people. She probably is one of the most admired people in the country. We asked her, of course, if she wants to run for President. But you know what most people wanted to know?
STEPHANOPOULOS: What?
WALTERS: What does she do about her hair. Take a look.
[clip from Most Fascinating People of 2012]
WALTERS: So, I have to ask you this very personal question. Your hair?
[Clinton laughs.]
HILLARY CLINTON: I know that it's one of the great fascinations of our time.
WALTERS: Absolutely.
CLINTON: Much to my amazement.
WALTERS: People said to me, "Are you interviewing the Secretary of State?" I said, "Yes. What should I–" "Ask her about her hair."
CLINTON: Well, I do not travel with any hair dresser and I'm not very competent myself. I've been admitting that for years, which should be obvious to everyone. It just got to be really burdensome to try and find a hair dresser in some city, somewhere. So, I just said, "Enough. We're going to try and go with as simple as possible."
WALTERS: Nobody asks the men that.
CLINTON: Have you noticed? [Laughs]
[Clip ends]
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, you got to the bottom of that. You also got her laugh out. That big, big laugh.
WALTERS: And we did ask her if she's going to run in 2016.
STEPHANOPOULOS: She doesn't know yet. Right?
WALTERS: Her husband wants her to, but she's not sure.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Now, another person people talk about for possibly running in 2016, Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey.
WALTERS: So, we asked Hillary about her hair. We asked him about, well, what they call the elephant in the room and that is his weight.
WALTERS: Okay, governor. I feel very uncomfortable asking this question when I'm sitting opposite you. But you are a little overweight.
CHRIS CHRISTIE: More than a little.
WALTERS: Yeah?
CHRISTIE: Yeah.
WALTERS: Why?
CHRISTIE: If I could figure that out, I'd fix it.
WALTERS: There are people who say you couldn't be president because you're so heavy. What do you say to them?
CHRISTIE: That's ridiculous. I mean, that's ridiculous. I mean, I don't know what the basis for that is.
WALTERS: I think they're worried about your health.
CHRISTIE: Well, I've done this job pretty well and I think people watched me for the last number of weeks in Hurricane Sandy doing 18 hour days and getting right back up the next day and still being just as effective in the job. So, I don't think that would be a problem.
[clip ends]
STEPHANOPOULOS: But he dismisses that. But you asked the question that a lot of people do ask when they think about him running for president.
WALTERS: Well, he's running again for governor and he has tried to lose weight. And he campaigned all over the place, so his health seems pretty good. But we're going to be watching what happens to him in the next election.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And, boy, after that response– That's right and after that response to Hurricane Sandy, his population skyrocketed.
WALTERS: And deservedly so.
STEPHANOPOULOS: That's right.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You're just back from the White House. We saw those clips. You made so much news with the President and Mrs. Obama. You'll be back here Friday to talk about that. How did they seem to you?
WALTERS: They are very different when the two of them are together. I mean, we talked to him with the hard news, Syria and so forth. But together, they are very charming, very funny and, by the way, they have a special message for Robin.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Oh, fantastic. And you'll be back Friday with that.

Small not Simple: Minimalist Modern Modular Home Design
A summer home should be simple insofar as it is easy to maintain, inexpensive, comfortable and requires little work to get back into working condition after being idle for a while. While this miniature modular house by Tommie Wilhelmsen takes advantage of cheap materials, a simple plan and a small site to save on costs, it is also compelling in its three-dimensional spatial complexity.
Seen from the outside, the secluded enclosure of an upper bedroom also wraps to form a semi-enclosed deck space below. The volumes that comprise the house fit together but also provide views in various directions and some privacy between each interior and exterior room.
The interior of the building is modern and minimalist as the exterior. Simple white walls and mostly built-in furniture populate these spaces and open shelving and clean lines are found throughout making everything easy to keep tidy.
Nooks and crannies are formed by the wrapping exterior walls to create comfortable interior spaces within the plan – without letting them become cramped by being fully divided and isolated.
Shifts in elevation are also employed to make each small space a distinct section inside of the structure as a whole. While it is only a summer home this would be a wonderfully rich set of spaces to live in year round as well.

"It looks like I'm going to be starting a new drug regimen."
As a counselor, I often find myself sitting across from a client who begins the conversation with these words. Each has his or her own reasons for changing regimens, including efficacy, side effects and compliance issues.
If you are facing a change in your regimen, or have been presented with this possibility by your physician and are talking about the next steps, chances are you are experiencing your own thoughts and emotions. What I have learned from my clients is that a new drug regimen presents both challenges and opportunities. And like other life changes, the best way to tackle them is through acknowledging our emotions, harnessing the power of your rational mind, and taking action.
Are You Ready to Get Started?
Remember that you are not at square one. In the immortal words of Joan Crawford in the film Mommie Dearest: "This ain't my first time at the rodeo."
As you approach your regimen change, don't forget that you have been down this path before. Whether this is the first time, or if you have changed too many times to count, or at least feel that way, you are not a stranger to facing the uncertainties of putting new medications into your body. You've been through whatever period of time it takes your body to adjust, the temporary and potentially long term side effects, and the frequent monitoring.
So you've got an edge here. I have clients who, because of past experiences, approach their regimen with bravado -- a "dare you to defeat me" attitude and a lot of chest pounding. This attitude may result from having worked closely with their physicians to evaluate potential regimens and to determine when to begin the new therapy, with confidence that they have chosen the optimal route. Enthusiasm may also be related to an intense sense of relief due to the end of regimen that has been difficult to maintain, or has resulted in intolerable side effects, or has become less effective. But is there another side to the bravado?
Some clients use their bravado as a way of avoiding some of the less acceptable, uncomfortable feelings that a new regimen may provoke -- anger, fear, frustration -- while others don't even attempt to hold back on the dark side but instead go there and stay. They recall past experiences with new regimens that caused intestinal distress, or nightmares, or fatigue. If they had to face it in the past, how could this one be any better? They can't help but wonder: what next?
Are Your Coping Skills Rusty?
Let me tell you about a client who I will call Doug, who has been HIV positive for 15 years. As a veteran of AZT, he is no stranger to changes in his medication. He has gone through a few of them over the years. He has been on his current regimen for more than two years but has gradually become resistant to it, so he finally agreed with his physician that it was time to change. But that doesn't mean Doug was looking forward to this change.
I had my treatment down to a routine. I was calling my meds my vitamins. Now, that's a joke. I mean I wasn't even thinking about them any more and was barely aware that I was popping them at the same times every day. It's like they were just pills that had nothing to do with HIV.
Doug was overwhelmed by the idea of having to make changes in his routine to accommodate the new regimen, along with the adjustment that his body would have to go through. But more important, he didn't want to face the feelings that went along with this change. With a comfortable medication routine, HIV stayed in the background. With a regimen change, he was going to need to be conscious of how he was feeling physically and emotionally from the perspective of his HIV. He was going to have to adjust his schedule to accommodate his regimen. Basically, the prospect of paying more attention to his medications made Doug feel like a patient and disempowered. He thought he had long ago left the patient label behind and wondered how much old territory he was going to have to cover again.
You may want to ask yourself the question I asked Doug: What worked and didn't work the last time you went through this?
Take a moment and think about past experiences with regimen changes, or even back to when you first began taking HIV meds. What helped you to handle the emotions you were experiencing around this new chapter in your life? Did you get informed? Connect with supportive people? Make lifestyle changes? Get in touch with your spiritual side? In other words, how did you get to the other side of what may have seemed like a very deep valley? Just as important, what did you do that didn't help at all? What bumps in the road could have been avoided?
If you take a look back, you may rediscover some coping mechanisms that have slackened off due to lack of use but, with some exercise, can again be relied on to help you deal with this challenge. Below are some ideas you may find useful.
Update Your Knowledge: I often hear that, over time, people's drive to actively gather information has declined when the current medication is doing its job or they've grown to trust their doctors. How long has it been since you updated your knowledge about HIV and the latest treatments? Some clients approach their new regimen with such enthusiasm that they don't want to "jinx" anything by overanalyzing or otherwise questioning the limitations and the benefits of the new regimen. Others avoid knowing too much out of a concern that their worst expectations will only be confirmed. Either way, a new regimen is often the kick in the butt that gets people re-involved in their treatment. Is it time for you to start asking questions again and seeking answers? The HIV medication picture is constantly changing. If you haven't been keeping yourself educated, or have gotten out of the habit, now could be a good time to restart the process. Even a few minutes a week, on a regular basis, can be a step toward staying informed and can give you an outlet for the anxiety and frustration you may be experiencing.
Don't Hesitate to be High Maintenance: Getting involved begins with asking questions. If you haven't asked why a regimen change is recommended, that would be the starting point. While the answer may be obvious to you (for example, if the side effects were becoming intolerable) your physician may still be able to give you additional insights into why the regimen is being changed at this time. What are the risks of changing the regimen in terms of keeping the virus in check? And then there is a whole new set of questions regarding the new regimen. Why this regimen and not one of the other options? And what can you expect in terms of effectiveness? Side effects? It is not uncommon for HIV patients to become complacent in their relationships with their physicians over the years. Patients have told me that have almost forgotten how to express complaints or concerns to their physicians, and may even feel guilty doing so, as if they are letting their doctors down by no longer acting like model patients. But you shouldn't worry about being "high maintenance" -- it's your health at stake.
Keep Records: It may be a long time since you have thought about your medications beyond keeping your prescriptions on hand and taking them on schedule. But a new regimen is going to completely throw off your routine, and if don't stay conscious of this new routine, you may find yourself taking the new medications at the wrong time. Until you retrain yourself to follow the new schedule, it can be helpful to carry a small notepad to use to keep track when you took what medication each day. This will save you from having to reconstruct what you were doing earlier in the day. While you are keeping a record of when you took your new medications, you may also want to make brief notes on how you are feeling. Did you experience some nausea one afternoon? Write it down. Dizziness or a headache on another day? Make a note of that too. And what about questions? It can be helpful to keep track of your questions in this same notepad, which you can bring to your next doctor's appointment.
Stay Connected: Because a new regimen can raise some unfamiliar issues and emotions, it can be really helpful to have a place to talk about what you are going through. You may want to connect with a support group through a community center or HIV organization. Here, you are likely to find people who are going through the same situation as you are, and possibly with the same regimen, who can offer both emotional support and their own perspectives. If you are involved in a church, or synagogue, or a spiritual group, this may be a time when you want to reach out for support. You may also want to consider talking to a counselor who is experienced in dealing with HIV-related concerns. This is not a time to be alone. Find a safe place to talk and strategize with someone who cares about you, understands what you are going through, and who can also be an objective sounding board.
Adhering to Your Regimen: Depending on what you were facing with your most recent regimen, adherence may have become an issue. Consequently, you may be looking forward to an easier schedule with the new regimen, or have other reasons for anticipating the change. Or, as I discussed earlier, the new regimen may look like a steep uphill climb. Either way, you don't need another lecture about adherence. But if you have doubts about your ability or willingness to stay with it, talk to your physician so that he or she can explore whether the regimen is having a biochemical effect on your mood. Talking about your emotions with a support group, friends, or a professional counselor can also be helpful.
A new regimen can unleash a whole range of emotions, some of them a blast from the past, and some of them brand new, and your emotions can impact effectiveness of the new regimen as well as adherence. This is not the time to continue going it alone. Keep a close watch on how you are feeling emotionally, and don't hesitate to ask someone else to watch with you.

Castle Champions (Free)
What's it about? Players in Castle Champions create and manage a medieval castle filled with businesses and peasants, in order to create a fighting team that competes in strategic battles.
What's cool? Your job in Castle Champions is to build a towering castle that produces all kinds of money. That's accomplished by adding levels to the tower as you earn more, then turning the rooms in those levels into apartments for peasants, or businesses at which they can work. As peasants earn money, you can turn additional rooms into places where you can train warriors like archers, swordsmen and mages, as well as powerful heroes. You'll need those warriors, because every few minutes, your castle is engaged in a battle with other teams in your "league," and you'll need to field a team that can beat back the hordes for glory. Winning battles earns you additional money and other bonuses, and you'll need to upgrade your team and learn to maximize your strategies to be successful.
Who's it for? If you enjoy light strategic gameplay combined with management simulation stuff, Castle Champions is right up your alley.
What's it like? Castle Champions borrows a lot from the mechanics of Tiny Tower, so if you like this, you'll like that.
Crushin' Robots – NYC (Free)
What's it about? Robots are washing up in boats in New York City, and it's your job to keep them from overrunning the city by beating back the mechanical monstrosities with a number of different items in Crushin' Robots.
What's cool? Crushin' Robots is an arcade game in the style of older titles, with simple mechanics but a lot of challenge. Your job in Crushin' Robots is to crush robots – they're attacking New York and you're the only one who can stop them. Tapping on the rows of attacking robots lets you fight them back by throwing things like wrenches and propane tanks at them, and you'll need to keep the robots from crossing the street and destroying stuff, as well as from scaling your building to stop you. The more robots you take down, the higher your score will grow as you increase your point multiplier.
Who's it for? Fans of old-school arcade titles will enjoy Crushin' Robots.
What's it like? You might enjoy games that are similarly aimed at an arcade sensibility, like Frogger and Planetary Command.

Corning from another perspective
On December 19th, 2011 we began purchasing shares of Corning Inc. for investor accounts – these purchases were made at an average price of $12.73 per share. Unfortunately we didn't have time to write an article explaining all of the reasons why we felt Corning represented a good value for investors, we did however mention the purchases in our February 1st, 2012 article The Prime Ministers "One Dollar" bets when we published our correspondence saying:
"haven't always been able to publish all ideas (but always execute for friends and family) – for e.g. haven't had time to write an article on it yet, but have also been buying GLW (mostly below 13)."

Recycled Love
I can't even imagine, I was thinking to myself as I sat in the veterinary emergency room in the wee hours of the morning, how I would feel if I had to surrender Angus to a shelter or the alternative (gasp – I won't even say it) because I couldn't pay for his procedures. So sad having to make a decision like that.
With the average cost of basic food, supplies, medical care and training for a dog or cat being $700 to $875 annually, handing over furry friends to shelters is at an all time high. That gets me to thinking about the ones that end up there and how do we make their transition an easier one?
Recycle This
"For the past 18 years, the Friends For The Dearborn Animal Shelter have been ultimate recyclers— of hope, lives, and love"* Since their inception, they have "rescued, rehabilitated, and re-homed" more than 35,000 animals. "Yes, the biggest need is to remember that animals need homes" says Andrea Kuentz of the shelter, "but also small acts and donations add up in a big way too."
While our furry friends are waiting to be part of a new family, there are a lot of things you may already have around the house that could be of use to them at a shelter. Peanut butter for the pups, white pages of the newspaper for litter, old towels, or e-collars. And, instead of putting that old armchair out to the curb, donate it to make Fluffy more comfy at a Cat Community. Any old plastic toys your pet isn't interested in anymore – wouldn't those make the stay more fun? From adhesive tape to rubber gloves to hot dogs – check alternate ways to give at www.dearbornanimals.org or with your local animal shelter and see how we all can help make life a bit easier.
Recycle things you find in your home. Or upcycle and fill up the water bowl for a new addition. I don't know about you, but I'm all about ultimate recycling for unconditional love.

It's no secret that I've harped on Target in the past. First there were the epidural maternity shirts, then there was the incident where the police were called on a breastfeeding mother. This weekend, however, Target did something that has me very thankful, and while I already informally expressed my thanks to them on Twitter, I wanted to do so a little more formally here.
It happened on Saturday – the last weekend before Christmas – when Jody and I decided to take the kids to Target so they could each pick out a present to give to the other. I thought it would help them learn the joy of giving, rather than just receiving on Christmas.
Before we went into the store, we emphasized that the store would be very busy with lots of people and the kids were to stay with us at all times. (You can see where this is headed, can't you?)
Jody and I each took a kid and headed for the toy section as the kids searched for the perfect gift for their sibling (and got distracted with what they wanted for themselves at least 20 times). At one point, I turned a corner and glanced behind me with 3-year-old Julian nowhere to be seen. My heart jumped into my throat as I quickly retraced my steps and found him just around the corner playing with a toy. Whew!
Eventually, the sibling gifts were chosen.
I wanted to buy some art supplies for the kids, so Jody took the kids and planned to let them pick out something for me while I shopped for them.
I found what I wanted and began moseying around the store to find them. That's when I saw Jody, alone, looking frantic as he dodged in and out of maternity clothes racks.
"Where are the kids??"
Jody told me he couldn't find Julian and had told Ava to stay in one spot with the cart while he looked for Jules.
My first thought was to go to the guest services desk and let them know Julian was missing. The more people looking for him, especially on such a busy day, the better. Jody, however, apparently had the same thought at the same time and beat me to the desk.
I ditched my cart (and my purse – totally wasn't thinking) and started looking for Julian myself.
Within seconds, crimson-clad Target employees were combing the aisles in force. Within two minutes, an employee asked me if I was the mom with the lost child (was the crazy "Oh my God, where is my son?" look in my eye that obvious?) and said they had found him and they would bring him to guest services.
Thank. God.
As I quickly walked to find Jody and tell him Julian had been found, I heard another employee say, "Oh! They are chasing after him!" And I could picture Julian screaming and crying and running away from the people who were trying to help him. Poor buddy.
I ran over to where Jody and Ava were already headed and met up with them to find a crying Julian safe in Jody's arms. I kissed and hugged him and was so relieved to see he was OK. We let him know how scared we were that he was lost and it was obvious how scared he was too. (He had apparently run away from Jody looking for me when he got lost.)
It was about that time that I remembered that I'd ditched my cart with my purse in it. I was relieved to find it was all right where I left it.
I can't tell you how thankful I am that our story had a happy ending.
Thank you, local Target employees, for springing into action so quickly and helping my husband and me find our son.
What To Do If Your Child Is Missing:
If your child ever goes missing in a store, notify the front desk or an employee ASAP. Most stores have a "Code Adam" procedure (named after Adam Walsh, the 6-year-old son of John Walsh, who was abducted from a Sears department store in Florida in 1981 and later found murdered) that alerts the employees to look for the missing child. If the child is not located within 10 minutes, the police are called.

A spokesman for Penn State president Rodney Erickson says the university faced a potential four-year ban on playing football before the NCAA issued its punishment for how the school handled the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
Erickson spokesman David La Torre disclosed the possibility of a four-year ban Wednesday, after Erickson met behind closed doors with the trustees to discuss the sanctions the NCAA imposed earlier in the week.
College sports' governing body on Monday handed down a $60 million fine, imposed a four-year bowl game ban, reduced football scholarships and negated 111 wins under former coach Joe Paterno.
NCAA president Mark Emmert said this week that if a total football ban had been imposed, other penalties would have accompanied it.
The potential four-year ban was first reported by ESPN.
Here is LaTorre's full statement:
"The Penn State Board of Trustees met for a discussion tonight. A vote was not required and none was taken.
The Board finds the punitive sanctions difficult and the process with the NCAA unfortunate. But as we understand it, the alternatives were worse as confirmed by NCAA President Mark Emmert's recent statement that Penn State was likely facing a multi-year death sentence.
The University and Board resolve to move forward together to recognize the historical excellence in Penn State's academic and athletic programs. We anticipate and look forward to demonstrating our outstanding performance in complying with the sanctions.
We continue to recognize the important role that intercollegiate athletics provides for our student athletes and the wider University community as we strive to appropriately balance academic and athletic accomplishments. Penn State will remain a world-class educational institution of which our students, faculty, staff and alumni can be justifiably proud.
The commitment demonstrated by our student athletes in recent days embodies all that is good about Penn State and we look forward to unprecedented support by the Nittany nation when we take the field this fall."

QUITO (Reuters) - A knife attack in Ecuador that killed two government supporters was perpetrated by a man under the influence of drugs and alcohol and was not politically motivated, President Rafael Correa said on Tuesday.
The man killed two Correa supporters and injured five more at a campaign rally on Monday, about two weeks before a presidential election that the leftist leader is expected to win comfortably.
"There is no indication that this attack may have been politically motivated. It was a person who was temporarily insane and stabbed the people that he found in his way," Correa said at a press conference in Quito. "This person was under the influence of drugs and alcohol."
A 40-year-old man with a criminal record who had spent time at a drug rehab center was detained shortly after the attack and is in police custody.
Correa said that five people were injured, one more than the number previously given by authorities.
Such incidents are exceedingly rare in Ecuadorean political campaigns despite historically volatile politics in which presidents have been toppled during street protests.
It was the first significant act of violence in a presidential race that officially started on January 4.
In a chilling video broadcast on local TV networks, a man could be seen breaking through a rally of a few hundred Correa sympathizers and attacking them with a large knife. Dozens ran for their lives while some men tried to stop the attacker.
Correa said police at the event were caught off guard. He said the attack lasted less than 20 seconds.
The incident occurred ahead of a campaign rally in Quininde, a town in the western Esmeraldas province. The event was canceled following the attack and Correa suspended his campaign on Tuesday in solidarity with the victims.
Correa, an ally of socialist Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, is expected to win the February 17 vote. Polls give him between 50 percent and 60 percent of votes, at least 30 percentage points ahead of his nearest rival, Guillermo Lasso, a former banker.
The president is very popular in urban shanty towns and rural areas, where millions have seen their livelihoods improved thanks to record spending in roads, hospitals and schools.

Whether it is an LL.M. or Master's degree, fully residential, limited residential, or online program - UNH Law has the program for you.
UNH Law has a long-standing global reputation for teaching legal professionals in an academically rigorous, supportive and collaborative learning environment in which students have personal day-to-day interactions with faculty and other students.
Traditionally, these opportunities were only available to those able to travel to New Hampshire for an extended period to participate in our residential programs.
These programs, housed in the Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property, offer students some of the most extensive collections of IP courses in the country.
Students are in residence for 2 semesters and also have the option of attending the Intellectual Property Summer Institute and being placed in an externship.
Limited Residential
Now, our Intellectual Property degrees are available in a limited residential format. In our limited residential program, students enroll for the fall semester in residence at the law school.
After completion of the fall semester, the student is then able to return home to finish the degree requirements online as either a full-time or part-time student.
This option allows for a student to experience a shorter stay in the U.S. and still complete a degree with an individualized schedule. Students have the opportunity to live and learn in the U.S. for one semester and lower their living expenses substantially by returning home to complete the degree.
For those individuals who cannot travel abroad to study due to limited time or work constraints the option of a fully online program is also available in both the International Criminal Law and Justice degree and our Intellectual Property degree (with a focus in patent law). These programs can be completed in 3 semesters and allow the student to avoid the costs associated with living expenses in the U.S. and travel to and from the U.S.
Faculty for the online programs include many of the high caliber faculty who have taught in the residential program for years and expert adjunct faculty from around the country.
