Jedis use taser guns to shoot down the Queen's speech
And the spoof that spoofed you all
Posted in Bootnotes, 17th November 2006 16:17 GMT
Letters Let's start the letters bag with something that got you really hot under the collar - the spoof Microsoft Firefox site. My, oh my, what a bunch of unhappy readers you were. Some of you even thought we thought it was real (how little credit you give us)...
As there's just too much abuse to post, we thought we'd give you the one of a million emails that actually appreciated the joke:
The microsoft Firefox spoof today has possibly been one of the best things I have seen in years, my entire office was almost in a fit of outcry, debates on whether or not anyone can just buy out thier competition rather than rivalling it and whether or not open source is really still open source has produced many a red face, but none more so than those who visited the website to download a copy of Internet Explorer 7.

Why, thank you.
And now into the hard stuff. More on TV licences, if you can bear it. I suspect this one could run forever...
When I told my wife about this story, she boggled. "You need a license to watch TV?"
Small steps, people. Today TV. in 2084, the Home Minister will be licesning oxygen.
There are a lot of things wrong with the USA, but freedom to receive unscrambled broadcasts without paying anyone for the privelege still exists here.
The whole TV licencing fiasco could have been avoided if a simple decision had been made, a few years ago before the move to all-digital TV was approved, to require all digital TV receivers and recorders to include a smartcard-based decoder.
Then the licence fee would be replaced by the need to buy a smartcard to unscramble the broadcasts. The end result is nobody watching TV without a licence, because it's not even possible to do so anymore. Of course, the decoder would be upstream of the SCART socket; so pre-recorded videos, DVDs and any new recording technology to be invented could still be watched. Recordings made off-air would have required a viewing card in the recorder at the time of recording.
(This would have the slight disadvantage that the fee would be payable per receiver, not per home. However, in a house with more TV sets than people, it would be possible just to transfer one card from set to set when watching in a different room. This would make it easier for parents to prevent kids watching TV; simply pull the card out of their set. Maybe we could even see a pay-as-you-go card, which is topped-up with fixed amounts of viewing; this would certainly be better for occasional TV watchers. There are many other possibilities that could be explored.)
I find it incredible that, in the course of a lengthy discussion which must have involved experts from across the broadcasting and setmaking industries, such a simple solution would never have been mentioned; and am forced to conclude that the authorities actually so enjoy intimidating people with poison-pen letters and Spanish Inquisition-style tactics that they killed off a scheme which would have eliminated TV licence evasion altogether.
Let me close by saying that I fully support the way the BBC is funded. The alternatives would be far worse: either advertisements (which ultimately leads to advertisers dictating content; ad-funded TV companies are effectively pimping audiences out to advertisers) or Government funding (which ultimately leads to the government dictating content; 'nuff said).
I don't have a TV, and after a number of threatening letters from the TV police, I wrote back to them threatening to sue them for harassment and inviting them to come and check I didn't have any TV receiving equipment. I got a polite letter back apologising for the stream of letters, saying they had to do it because some people who have a TV don't admit it. Since then, I have not heard from them (in about a year...).
I recommend this approach which seems to work.
An approach that doesn't sit well with you, however, is the UCLA police tasering a student for not carrying the right ID.
This is what happens when psychotic fucking pricks are given too much power. I hope those cops lose their jobs, pensions and receive long hefty prison sentences, but it's unlikely they'll be punished if they were trained to perform their duties in this manner.
To think that a student can receive torture and abuse at the hands of police who should have been more professional in handling such a situation is deplorable. In a University, the majority of people attending are educated enough to accept rational criticism. But if this is what a student gets for hanging around just because he forgot or never had the right ID with him, then I think something is very wrong with how police are trained to do their jobs.
A rational approach would have been more acceptable, such as on seeing the student leave, make sure he gets out of the building and is escorted back to his residence in a civil means, and maybe get a small fine for not having his ID. But as it's 10 minutes from Friday and rationality has already gone out the window; and I'm in a good mood, I recommend that the student be allowed strap those police to their cars, taser them consistently until the batteries die (even if the cops die first), then have the rest of the students who were present assist in torching the cars and their unwilling passengers while their families are made to watch.
You also didn't seem to feel the force when two members of the Jedi religion turned up at UN's London HQ petitioning for recognition of their religion:
Jedi?? That's just sooooooo 2001. I'm now a fully committed, die-hard Pastafarian (www.venganza.org)... well, I will be until something better turns up. Tom
In other news, two people in London failed to GET A LIFE! IT'S JUST A FILM YOU SAD LOSERS.
And don't get me started on the people who actually thought they'd get Jedi listed as a genuine religion based on an urban myth from Australia.
Our sentiments exactly.
Continuing with notions of reality, it emerged this week that phantom limb pain can be alleviated by creating a virtual universe where patients can see their missing limb restored - and move it. You had other suggestions:
Fixing phantom limbs with virtual reality
It's an interesting piece, but are you aware that a somewhat more low-tech version has been used for some time? It's a box with a mirror down its centre. VS Ramachandran discovered this method in the early 90s. There's a decent explanation of how it works here http://aig.cs.man.ac.uk/research/phantomlimb/phantomlimb.php
Although El Reg readers are probably going to prefer to read about how people experience orgasms in phantom limbs http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/mind/note_nf3.html
Awww, you know us so well.
And on the topic of orgasms, the Queen was expected to propose banning "extreme porn" in her annual speech this week. And while she didn't end up actually mentioning it, it still ruffled a few feathers among you.
Brace yourself for this one...
Dear Mr Ballard
I think your brother does a great job of sports reporting on the BBC. But this isn't an email sent in praise ...
"The law does not propose to ban the act of consensual sexual violence, only the possession of a depiction of it. It will require a jury to determine that something was produced only for the purpose of sexual arousal, that it featured BEASTIALITY, necrophilia, or acts of violence that would be life threatening or result in a disabling injury, and that it had to be realistic."
Now just a moment! At no time has 'my Dolly' ever become aggressive towards me. OK, on the odd occasion she bleets at bit, but it's nothing a handful of grass can't sort out afterwards. And, obviously, I am at my tenderest when I am in her company.
Sir; whilst I am all for the prevention of people looking at photographs of other persons handcuffed to bedposts (and the like ... apparently ...) I do not see why - the otherwise honourable - St Tony of Bliar, has suddenly got it in for my Dolly?
What harm has she ever done to anyone?
Now Sir, I know what you are thinking ... but I simply do not have the time to service all of Dolly's friends (there are only seven nights in a week you know, and the Cheshire countryside is positively covered in white fluffy mounds!); so Dolly had taken to the practice of placing the odd snap of our night time rendevous (does that have another "s" in the plural? ... anyway ...) on random gate posts, for the viewing pleasure of any "uncared for" friends who may pass that way.
Therefore; I would venture that the restrictions about to be imposed will impinge terribly on her civil liberties and Bovid-Rights. Incidentally I do hope the new "Animal Restrictions" will, at least, leave her methodone allowence as is? In our household, Cold-Turkey is only served after Christmas; and we shall have an awful time if she reverts back to the crack!
Further - as I hope I have illustrated - it is not just Dolly who will be affected. What is the world going to do with all those unfortunate sheep who (alas) remain "uncared for", and who will now also be unable to receive their gate-post pr0n-fix?! Sheep are nervous enough things as it is; from what will we make jumpers if they loose their coats from the stress of the withdrawl symptoms from the lack of postings!?
Does no one in this cruel and unthinking government give a damn?!
Something must be done - I shall fetch the old man's elephant hunting rifle from its berth on the library wall. Time for a stand. Are you behind me?
(if so; wait yer f'kin' turn!)
Ah, riiiiight. Onwards.
There was a Blogging for Backlash day and if this is in the Queens speech there will be a second day held when it is debated in the period after the Queens speech.
The master blog (pun not intended) is at http://bloggingforbacklash.blogspot.com/
"What do we think about this? We're not supposed to take sides, so we're sitting on the fence - and boy, does it feel good."
Obviously you have not got the fence adjusted correctly and/or you have not been forced to sit on it for long enough. Perhaps you need one of these:-
No need, but thanks anyway.
My late father used to tell me "hard cases make bad law". He wasn't a lawyer, but he got that from someone who was. The point being, don't try to draft law to prevent a recurrence of one particular case. You'll end up with a law that doesn't achieve the objective, which this won't, and will criminalise all sorts of other things you didn't intend, which this will.
If any party comes into the next election promising to repeal any legislation that resulted from a campaign in the Daily Mail or Daily Express, they'll get my vote.
Ours too.
The UK justice system came under fire again when a dating site hacker nimbly swerved a spell in chokey.
Non custodial sentence? What kind of signal is that sending out then? He hacks into profiles in a dating site, tries to extort the site owner, and also authored 2 versions of a Virus (the initial version too it looks like) and basically gets off with it? WTF?
Overcrowded prisons I guess will be the answer eh, gee good answer.
And no mention of a court order banning him from using PCs.....
More good work from the UK justice system, while they release illegal alien killers back into society, they wont even jail people who are potential threats to business and home users alike. Not to mention the back-patting of the police, yeah great job guys, the hacker never encrypted his work, so you get the credit.
Woo what a world.
Next up, your views on Warwick University's premature email upgrade - trading in Groupwise for Microsoft Exchange.
That story is uncannily similar to a classic humorous internet text. I don't know if your familiar with the text, but the short synopsis is that an archaic DEC is being supported by a bank next to more modern (c. 1994) IBM machines, which are on a UPS with backup generator, while the DEC is not afforded the luxury. The power goes out, and a failure in the backup generator destroys the IBM machines as the power comes back. I suppose in this story, the ancient GroupWare box is the one that bites the big one, but I'm sure someone at The Reg may enjoy updating the story to fit. :)

I'm disappointed that the people most aware of the the technical aspects of the problem were not able to provide their input. The problem was obviously unrelated to GroupWise, but a massive power failure. The only person quoted (anonymously, I might add) was someone that appeared to have his own personal reasons to slam the product, probably because he was required to use the University standard mail product.
Most Exchange migrations that I have been associated with or aware of are not as a result of any technical or product capability issues,but because of the ability of an individual within an organization to hijack hundreds of thousands of dollars in budget to get their OutLook client at work like they do at home. Exchange has been proven time and again to be more expensive and less reliable than Exchange, so the idea that users have to be "rescued" from GroupWise by an Exchange system is ludicrous.
They're really hacked off with Groupwise? Wait 'til they discover the joys of Exchange, officially the world's worst email service. Thrill! as it bogs down every time you send a big email. Shock! as hundreds of vulnerabilities allow every skiddie on campus to knock the service over. Gasp! as a couple of thousand user SMTP server brings a huge dual core 4 Gbyte machine to its knees. I'm not normally a zealot in such things, but anyone who runs, of all things, a university mail service on Windows needs their head examining. -J.
Sticking with software Allchin backed away from his claims of an oh-so-secure Vista, causing some of you to laugh...
"Most users will use some form of anti-virus software, and that will be appropriate for their scenarios,"
...so let me get this right - MS are releasing a new version of their "OS" (I use the term in the loosest possible sense) and they are admitting that it contains exploitable security vulnerabilities that require the user to purchase additional software in order to make it viable for use in a networked environment?
....errr.... and people still buy this stuff??? errr... right!
By the way, that "ASLR" you talked of sounds somewhat like a very similar feature of OpenBSD, an OS that DOESN'T require the use of anti-visus / anti-spyware / anti-whatever software in order to use it effectively.
...And others to just rubbish the anti-virus industry...
I've used WFWG3.11, NT3.51, NT4.0, Win 95, Win 98 and Win XP at home and wife kids too since 1994 online. We never use AV products. We have never had a virus.
(Skeptics may ask how do I know? I check for extra processes, unusual disk or Internet activity, in the past via proxy server logs, also now we check occasionally with Silent Runners).
The AV industry is a scam. What is needed is education. Email servers that block any executable (like my home email server does) and Education. Things like double extension file names are likely evil. Or Zip files with VERY long spaces in name..
Anyone can dispense with adictive AV products that often give a false sense of security and often rdeuce reliability of PC.
They can do products that are effective and don't need updates but won't.
As an IT professional most of the PCs I have manually removed malware from actually had AV and/or Firewall products.
We don't use any firewall products on PC either. We used to use a Proxy and now use a NAT with very basic firewall. We never used Outlook or used default settings in email clients..
Using an EXTERNAL firewall in my experience stops about 90% of non-user click exploits. Switching off all un-needed services makes a big difference too.
I've also run IIS online with 1 DOS for 3 years up to 2004. Again combination of Firewall and removing all IIS services not needed.
A USwitch survey said punters are suffering in the broadband price war. And suffering you certainly are:
When I read your piece on "free broadband" I did a double take at, "overall levels of satisfaction have sunk 9 per cent..." and went back to look for the missing "to" between "sunk" and "9".
Seeking to save myself a shedload of cash on my monthly broadband connection charges, I was recently persuaded to switch to the Orange "free broadband service". It wasn't really free, as I had to upgrade my mobile contract to get it, and it sure wasn't a service. After a fortnight of applying the "repair" option up to 60 times a day, of almost hourly re-booting, re-installing, spending huge amounts of time and cash on the Orange "helplines", I decided the "service" wasn't worth the pain any longer.
That's when I discovered Orange had taken over much of my registry, and it cost me over £50 to get their stuff off my laptop to allow me to revert to my full cost BB provider. "Free" broadband "service" from Orange"? They should be prosecuted under the trades description act.

Back to the Queen's speech, this time an analysis after the event, which some of you just didn't get:
I have trouble understanding what your article is about.
The use of sarcasm and understatements makes it unintelligible to someone who isn't up to date with the story in the first place.
yours, Ferrie Bank
"This journalist thinks that's a fine example of the pot calling the kettle black", which is kinda funny in itself given how journalists have such a fine reputation for being trustworthy highly scrupulous!
(Meaning no disrespect to the fine articles produced by your goodself)
Hmmmm, this was the point...no?
Right, we're almost there. Let's finish with some fun stuff. And what's more fun than our good friend Bill accusing security rivals of trying to 'castrate' Vista?
Geldings (castrated male horses) are much better work horses than stallions. Far more manageable.
perhaps Bill Gates believes that Defender and Kernel Protection are "the bollocks", i.e the bee's knees, of Vista.
I see a whole lot of punnery in the coming weeks over that one...
Punnery, as requested, to follow next week. Go nuts (sorry) and have a good weekend. ®

Oh Boy! I couldn't last long without trying a new beauty box program. This time, I bring you, My Platinum Box, a deluxe monthly beauty subscription service that caters to both men and women! Wait– both? Yes, both. But each get their own box that has an assortment of 4 to 5 grooming, fragrance, skincare,lifestyle, or body product samples for just $10.00 + free shipping. If you like something from your sample box, you can also purchase the full size directly through the site and earn 15% cash back on purchases over $30. How easy is that? Hey, who doesn't like to make a little money while spending a little money?
What's even better is that the company include online tutorials for those needing to be spun in the right direction. Just check out their blog for daily updates on how to use the products or product reviews.
Anyways, onto the review! The package arrived today in my mailbox, which was an awesome little surprise to come home to, so I immediately took a picture and posted it on my facebook page. All products were safely enclosed in a crisp white cardboard box with the logo splashed on the outside. And tah-daaaahh, the inside.
The first product in the box was a sample of Issey Miyake's L'eau D'issey. L'eau D'issey is a feminine scent with a blend of fresh water florals such as lilys. Platinum Box describes it as a casual parfum to wear. I personally tend to stick to white florals and wondered what lilys and carnations would smell like. Honestly, it has a woodsy scent to it but not in an over powering way. You kinda got to get close to smell it–but it is distinctive when you do. Could I wear this perfume? Maybe. I'll keep it in my sampler bag for another try. Issey Miyake's L'eau D'issey can be purchased directly through the platinum box online store for $65
Issey Miyake Parfum's on facebook Issey Miyake on twitter
Next product in the box is a black eye liner pencil. I'm not sure of the brand, but it's as big as a regular writing pencil so it looks like it would last long. The "lead" is medium-hard so you can get a pretty precise line with it, although its more of a gray-black than a black-black. It doesn't pull or drag at the skin and just a tip, if it ever does, I rest my pencils that need softening near my curling iron so they soften under the heat. Don't do it too long though, you don't want to burn your face so be sure to test on the back of your hand.
Next product I received was Earthly Body's Dreamsicle Hand & Body Lotion. Earthly Body specializes in high quality natural skin and haircare, and was one of the leaders in the use of hemp seed oil for bodycare! Their products range from candles, body butters, lotions and and body oils and no, it won't get you high by using it. Hemp seed oil used in cosmetics has all THC removed, while having some of the highest concentrations of essential fatty acids which keep the skin moisturized. The lotion's name was dreamsicle which made me thing of a creamsicle, thus making me think this would smell like oranges. Well, I was close. Tangerine and plum. I have no idea what plum is supposed to smell like but I smell citrus and like it. The lotion absorbs quickly and doesn't stink, which is a plus when it comes to natural products. Sometimes they have a natural "funk" to them. This doesn't! Hooray! Not only is hemp seed oil moisturizing my skin, but also shea butter, jojoba, and argan oil soften it as well. Dreamsicle can be purchased directly from their site for $5.99 or you can visit their store in Chatsworth,CA.

I love having about twenty or oh, I dunno, about 50 lip balms on hand in every form and brand possible. I just cant get enough lip balm and I now have one from Skinny Skinny to add to my collection. SkinnySkinny is a luxury organic eco-savvy body care line. They also have their flagship store in Brooklyn, NY, with other locations dispersed throughout the US. SkinnySkinny's tea tree & mint lip balm features skin softening ingredients such as cocoa butter, coconut oil, avocado oil, while adding in the benefits of tea trea oil and mint. Tea Tree Oil is a great antibacterial agent and can help heal chapped lips. Mint tastes good and can be invigorating. In this case, the mint did a wonderful job of hiding the tea tree flavor. Wanna know something weird? I swear I smell chocolate if I breathe out. Am I crazy? (doing the breath/cough test again) –yup, it kinda does. I don't think it's meant to do that, but hey, cocoa breath? It's not the worst thing to smell like! I also like that it goes on very thin. I could still wear lipstick over this without feeling like have 5 coats of paint on my lips in order to keep them moisturized. The lip balm can be purchased for $6.00 via platinum box, or from skinnyskinny's site. I suggest all you 3-free nail polish lovers check out this page– heeeeaaaaven! They had other items I would love to try such as their organic grapefruit ylang ylang bath salts and the organic chamomile body oil.

My lucky self got two samples of Shaveworks, The Cool Fix. I'm actually no stranger to this product- my boyfriend uses it–and then I started using it on my legs. This got the thumbs up right now from the boyfriend because I split the sample with him. This blue gel comes from the father brand, Anthony Logistics for Men--but don't be scared that it's a mens product. Anthony Logistics was created by Anthony Sosnick, he wanted to create a line of skincare products that addressed specific men's needs. It has now grown into a business with multiple lines of personal care products that deal with anything from shaving, bath & body, sport, and face. And don't forget, an ingrown hair is an ingrown hair whether its on you or me so don't be worried about using the wrong product- it truly works for everyone. Cool fix helps by soothing shave burns and helping ingrowns work themselves out. You do have to use it every day, but hey, no biggie. A small nickel size is enough for both of my legs from the knees down. You can purchase Cool fix on the Platinum Site for $25 and I will tell you this is money well spent. Just be sure to hide the bottle so no one else uses it up!
Anthony Logistics on Facebook Anthony Logistics on twitter
So ladies? Gents? What do you think? Good mix of products? I think so! Platinum box gave me a perfume, something for the lips, makeup for the eyes, lotion for the body and treatment for ingrowns. Do I think the value is great at $10? Yes, for the quality of products recieved I think so. I do think it would be nice to get an info sheet with the products so I don't have to go back to the site at first, but overall a very nice program.
What product would you like to try from the box?
You can find more info on Platinum Box at their website: www.myplatinumbox.com
You can also find them on facebook and twitter…which I suggest you follow because they do giveaways and offer discounts!

I don't think it had anything to do with the program...they wanted Kaetlyn to win and to do so, Akiko got held back. Sad but true...
The reason I say that is that the comments among those who were at Skate Canada was that Kaetlyn had a bigger presence on the ice and I think a lot of that was driven by her outgoing personality skating to Carmen, which lends itself to some in-your-face type performing. I don't think it's a stretch to say that perhaps the judges were influenced in the same way.
So perhaps the reasons you list were the driving factor, but combine it with the fact that Akiko continues to be underscored and a reward toward over-performing mediocre-packaged programs (see Alena Leonova) and you got a perfect storm.

Russia's industrial boom over the last few years has been accompanied by the usual rapid development of the building industry. Vestnik Finansov[1] recently carried out a poll among the municipal authorities in 158 towns of Russia on this question. Mr. Veselovsky in Russkoye Slovo gives the following data from the poll: annual construction and remodelling of houses:
in 1907 ............ 11,961 " 1908 ............13,709 " 1909 ............15,093 " 1910 ............10,674
In some three years, the building industry has expanded nearly 50 per cent! That the capitalists are making vast profits on this industrial boom can be seen from the prices of bricks. The prices reach 33 rubles per thousand in St. Petersburg, and 36 rubles in the more industrialised Moscow.
Municipal brickworks exist in only 50 or 60 towns, so that the possibility of combating the insatiable appetites of the building capitalists is insignificant. And, for that matter, our towns, as a result of the property franchise, the complete absence of free elections, etc., have been completely handed over to a handful of money-bags, who take municipal interests to be those of their own pockets.
The series of notorious collapses of houses under construction shows the incredibly scandalous practices in building, the carelessness and the total disregard for human life. Intensified building activity, with thousands and thousands of rubles passing into the pockets of contractors, engineers, capitalists, and the mass of sacrifices offered up by the workers on the altar of capital—that is what the industrial "boom" means.
And what of the position of the hundreds of thousands of building workers?
We learn the following about their wages from the poll. The day's wage of a building worker varies with the size of the town as follows:
Population Day's wage of a building worker Under 5,000 . . 5,000–10,000 . . 10,000–25,000 . . 25,000–50,000 . . 50,000–75,000 . . 75,000–100,000 . . 100,000 and over . . 1 ruble 33 kopeks 1 " 36 " 1 " 41 " 1 " 53 " 1 " 56 " 1 " 87 " 1 " 80 "
Even in the biggest cities, the worker's wage does not reach 2 rubles a day! One can imagine what these workers suffer with the present high cost of living, when very often they have to maintain a family in another town or in the country. Moreover, building work is seasonal, it does not continue the year round. During the few months of employment, the worker must earn enough to maintain himself and his family throughout the year.
These figures are evidence of the workers' poverty and utter insecurity.
It is more difficult for building workers to unite and get organised than for workers in factories. All the more insistently should workers in the van campaign for the education and organisation of building workers, who can seek help nowhere but from their own workers' paper, their own workers' trade union, and their own more developed proletarian comrades.

1.) Change Your Warm-Up
"If you're in the gym twice a week, you need to be stretching four time a week," says John Whitesides, head strength and conditioning coach for the NHL's Boston Bruins. "If you have tight hips, it's gonna be hard to shuffle laterally and pivot." The fix: Try using a foam roller on your legs, hips, and glutes for a few minutes before you lift. It'll break up scar tissue in your muscles and leave you fresh and ready to train.
2.) Get Off Your Ass!
Lift while standing, when the move allows. "Mimic the environment of the athlete," says Jeff Cavaliere, trainer to New York Mets third baseman David Wright and founder of the AthLEAN-X training system. Seated dumbbell overhead presses do you no good on the field of play. You've just trained yourself to move in a very specific and isolated manner, not how you move in real life, he says.
3.) Go Big First
"Always do complex exercises first," says Bryan Doo, strength and conditioning coach for the NBA's Boston Celtics. "Hit your major muscles, then the minor ones." That means squats, deadlifts, and cleans should always come before any kind of curl or extension.
4.) Chug more H2O
"We tell athletes to take in 64 ounces of fluid a day," says Steve Watterson, strength coach for the NFL's Tennessee Titans. "On top of that, they have to replace the fluid they lose during their workouts." To make sure they do it, the Titans weigh their players before and after training. You should aim for eight glasses of liquid each day—plan teas and clear fruit juices count; anything with added sugar doeasn't—along with a pre- or post-workout drink.
5.) Train As You Play
Focus on exercises that let you move through space in a purposeful way. Set up for a cable crossover with one handle high and one low. Perform the movement one arm at a time, rotating your torso with your arm as you go. "We're trying to get the body to move in the patterns it instinctively follows, but with more power and precision," Cavaliere says.
6.) Forget Numbers
"If you could tell me how bench-pressing 400 pounds can translate to being better in your intramural basketball league," Whitesides says, "I'd love to hear it." Focus on lifting a weight that allows you to use good form throughout the set. "If you can't do three sets of 20 reps of pushups, you're not ready to bench."
7.) Be Eccentric
Don't ignore the eccentric (or lowering) portion of any lift to emphasize the concentric (lifting) phase. "Guys want to run fast," Doo says. "That's great if you have a Porsche engine, but you don't want to have Hyundai brakes." To get better at stopping and starting, the next time you do stepups, take four to five seconds to lower your leg down to the ground during each rep. If you can't move slowly enough, hold a medicine ball out in front of your chest to counterbalance your weight. "Even if you just do it once a week, the benefits will be huge," he says.
8.) Buddy Up (And Kick Butt)
Cavaliere often trains with Wright, and they'll compete against each other to see who can do more reps in a given set. "It's often the last reps that give you 90% of your results," he says.
9.) Focus On Balance
One side or portion of your body is often stronger than the other. That can cause your other muscle groups to work harder in an attempt to balance you out—leading to injuries and weaknesses. "Unilateral training will help you overcome imbalances," Cavaliere says. Try one-legged squats or presses with dumbbells working one arm at a time.
10.) Work Your Way Up
Ease your way into hardcore training. Each time you hit the gym, train a little bit longer or lift a little more weight. "That's the true secret to improved fitness and overall athleticism," Watterson says.

AFTN: Schedule Dynamics Adding Interest To MLS Season
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Every Friday, Southsider and blogger Michael McColl takes ALL CAPS "Away From The Numbers" for a fan's perspective on the Vancouver Whitecaps.
As much as I wanted Major League Soccer to adopt a balanced schedule again this season, I've actually found the new set up of the League to be a lot more interesting and exciting than seasons gone by.
It may just be down to the fact that the Whitecaps have a chance to do something this year, but I've found myself taking a lot more interest in other games around the League.
I'm watching a lot of other matches this season, looking for scores whilst trying to work out what the best case scenario would be for the Caps in every game.
MLS' decision to focus more on the East/West divide has certainly made nearly every match key for a multitude of reasons.
I still hate the fact that five teams from both Conferences will advance into the playoffs. When you look at the strength of the West and the poor overall quality in the East, you can't help but feel that sides are not competing on a level playing field.
There are going to be some good sides in the Western Conference that will miss out on a playoff spot, whilst some crappy Eastern sides, that don't really deserve a place, will be in the final battle royale, with a shot at the title.
Without a balanced schedule and a single table, there's also a chance that some sides in the West will miss out, whilst having a better record than their Eastern counterparts.
All of this could affect the Caps in a horrible way. Good job we're going to be in the top four of the West so it won't really matter!
The reshaping of the schedule, and the playoff qualification criteria, has made for some interesting new dynamics in what we need to see from matches from a Whitecaps perspective.
The Whitecaps dropping points against a team from the East now isn't the end of the world. Sure it's still points lost, but much rather you give them up to a team that isn't your Conference rival than one that could be going down to the wire with you in the playoff race.
The Caps need to pick up as many points as they can from any game obviously, but particularly so from Western Conference match ups.
And that's where the 'Best Case Scenario' factor comes in for non Caps games in every round.
We're going to be finding ourselves cheering for some unlikely foes this year. We could even be rooting for Toronto and, gasp, Montreal to win. That's going to be hard but necessary. I'm not sure that I'm quite ready for that dirty feeling yet mind you.
In the ideal Caps world, we need western teams to lose, or at best draw, when squaring off in inter-conference rivalries. Eastern sides will have our support all season long in these games and every point an eastern team secures against a team from the west benefits the Caps greatly.
In all-western match ups, draws are our friend right now. Although we probably know who the strongest sides are going to be come the season end, the starts made by LA, San Jose and the Caps perhaps show that nothing should be taken for granted quite yet.
Once the season progresses and we start to separate the wheat from the chaff, that whole scenario takes two distinct paths depending on where the Caps are in the table.
If we're still at the top of the standings, we will want to see the top teams around us dropping points to those at the bottom to ensure a better seeding. We'll be cheering on those bottom feeders like there's no tomorrow.
If we're right in the pack, fighting for our playoff lives, then we have to hope that one or two of the teams at the top are running away with it and beating all comers, except us, whilst those around us are drawing in all their inter-conference match ups against everyone else in playoff contention.
We'll be glued to our televisions, checking score updates, changes in the table and everything else we can to see how every goal and every game affects the Caps' chances.
It all makes for some interesting dynamics and fans should have a lot more interest now in games that they previously wouldn't have been too fussed watching.
Just what MLS wanted and although I still prefer a single table and a balanced schedule for complete fairness, the current season should shape up nicely in the interest and excitement stakes.
We've started a weekly "Best Case Scenario" feature over on AFTN so swing by, check it out, see what results are going to benefit the Caps most every week and find out who you should be cheering on for the win.
It just makes it that little bit more exciting if you can know that the Caps are the big winners at the end of it all.

Interesting Oct 23, 2007
This accomodation is in an old post office. We chose a private room. The room had a bunk bed, double at the bottom, single at the top. The room was very small, just enough room to walk along the side and end of the bed. There was no where to put anything. We had our cases on the floor at the end of the bed. There was a television up on the wall. We had a very small ensuite.To enter the ensuite you must be on the right side of the door as it would hit the bed when it was opened. The worst thing was the bed, it was so uncomfortable! We didn't use the share kitchen or the share sitting/tv area. The ground floor had heaps of computers and a breakfast dining area. It was a continental breakfast for $5, not too bad. They also had a tour desk. There was limited, unsecure, pay parking on site. The lift was scary!
It was not what we liked but can see that for the young ones it is a good way to go but really, it wouldn't have cost us much more for a hotel room. However, we had the experience.
The location wasn't too bad. We did walk to the museum and the main shopping precinct.

Hybrid clouds most popular with UK business, survey reveals
Hybrid clouds are the most popular cloud computing models with UK businesses, a survey has revealed.
This Article Covers

Hybrid clouds are the most popular cloud computing models with UK businesses, a survey has revealed.
Roughly one-third of UK businesses are using or considering using cloud computing, according to a poll of nearly 400 UK IT professionals by data availability and disaster recovery software supplier Vision Solutions and London-based cloud services provider Frontier Technology.
UK IT Priorities 2018 survey results
Download this e-guide to discover the results of our 2018 UK IT Priorities survey, where IT leaders shared with us what they are going to be investing in over the coming 12 months.

Among these companies, 46% favoured a hybrid model, where both public and private cloud resources are used, 41% said they preferred to use a completely private cloud, while only 13% were happy to rely entirely on the public cloud.
However, only 18% said they were actually using cloud technologies, while 33% did not see cloud as a good fit, and 31% were undecided.
There are several reasons that cloud adoption is still relatively low, said Ian Masters, sales director UK and Ireland for Vision Solutions.
The biggest problem, he told Computer Weekly, is the lack of knowledge about cloud computing, which means there is still confusion about the concept and about the potential business benefit.
There are also concerns about security and where data will reside, but Masters said disaster recovery will help foster cloud adoption as it did the adoption of virtualisation technology.
Businesses are turning to cloud-based disaster recovery services to cut costs, he said, but this will lead to wider adoption as they become more comfortable and begin to see the business benefits.

Here's all you need to know about Audi's new Valvelift system.
More power and torque with less fuel consumption – that is the dream of every engine designer. With the Audi valvelift system, which manages the inlet valve timing in a gasoline engine in a very innovative way, that dream becomes a reality. Audi uses this technology for its direct-injection 2.8 and 3.2-liter V6-FSI engines in the A4, A5, A6 and A8.
Intelligence is all in the head, one might say – the cylinder head in the case of a car's engine. The aim is to open and close the valves in such a way that the correct charge of air is always drawn into the cylinders. The first breakthrough came years ago with the rotation of the camshaft by means of adjusters – permitting the valve opening and closing times to be varied. The Audi valvelift system now achieves the next step – variable control of the valve lift, thus influencing the cross-section of the intake duct.
How it works: The two inlet camshafts are equipped with teeth. On each of them sit three cam elements – cylindrical sleeves, on the outside of which there are spiral grooves. There are six metal pins integrated into the ladder frames of each of the two cylinder heads, which extend by four millimeters, powered by lightning-fast electromagnetic actuators. Two of them are responsible for each cam element.

After graduating from Houlton High School, Frank served with the U.S. Army between 1956 and 1958. Frank was self-employed much of his working career. Two of his favorite pastimes were water-skiing at his family's camp on East Grand Lake, Orient, and playing golf at Houlton Community Golf Course.
Frank is survived by his children, Thomas Beaulieu of Augusta, Maria Beaulieu of New York City, Robert Beaulieu of Sabattus and Laura Haines of Spearfish, S.D. He was the grandfather of Dorian, Abigail and Calvin. Also surviving are four sisters, Rita McDade of Houlton, Doris Kilfoil and her husband, Clifford, of Brunswick, Anne Rhoades and her husband, John, of Brunswick and Teresa Eagers and her husband, Charles, of Farmington; and three brothers, Edmund T. Beaulieu and his wife, Trudy, of Brewer, Carl A. Beaulieu of Andover, Mass., and Francis R. Beaulieu and his wife, Mary, of West Rutland, Vt. Frank was predeceased by his parents, Edmund and Monique.

Garden Museum renovation uncovers secret tomb containing remains of five Archbishops of Canterbury
The renovation of the deconsecrated St. Mary-at-Lambeth Church at the Garden Museum in London has led to the astonishing discovery of a secret tomb containing the remains of five Archbishops of Canterbury.
In a video posted online by the Garden Museum, Rooff Ltd site manager Karl Patten recalled how they were just lifting up slabs to expose the ground when they uncovered a secret tomb. This led to an interesting find which museum director Christopher Woodward considered as a pleasant interruption to the renovation works, The Sun details.
"We were exposing the ground as part of the job and we were lifting the slabs in the arc area and we uncovered an entry to what looked like a tomb," said Patten in the video. "We got a camera on the end of a stick and discovered numerous coffins and one of them had a gold crown on top of it."
Woodward revealed that five archbishops were buried in the recently discovered tomb. Two had name plates with the names Richard Bancroft (1604 archbishop) and John Moore (1783 archbishop). He said they believe Frederick Cornwallis (1768 archbishop), Matthew Hutton (1757 archbishop), and Thomas Tenison (1695 archbishop) were among those buried inside.
So far, Woodward said they have identified at least 20 of the coffins. However, they still do not know the others buried there.
The details of the discovery have been kept under wraps for several months to ensure the safety of the vault until the Garden Museum's grand reopening next month. There are fears that the roof of the vault may have become unstable because centuries have passed since it was last opened, The Telegraph notes.
St. Mary-at-Lambeth Church, which was built in 1062, used to be an Anglo-Saxon church. In the 13th century, the Lambeth Palace was constructed and later overshadowed the smaller church.
Based on historical records, there were archbishops buried at St. Mary-at-Lambeth Church from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The discovery of the coffins was unexpected since people believed they were gone by the time the church was reconstructed in 1851.

For years, neighbors of a gravel quarry near Libertyville pleaded with county officials to move up long-term plans to close the mine and convert the site into a forest preserve park.
Each time, the Lake County Forest Preserve District would assure them it would be well worth the wait. And the district appears to have kept its word, according to most who have visited the Independence Grove Forest Preserve. Located at Illinois Highways 137 and 21, the site opened June 2.

With Brokaw as Elder Statesman, NBC Plans Future of 'Meet the Press'
By JACQUES STEINBERG
Published: September 30, 2008
WASHINGTON -- Sometime between Election Day and early December, NBC News will make a final decision about who will replace Tim Russert and his interim successor, Tom Brokaw, at the helm of ''Meet the Press,'' Steve Capus, the president of NBC News, said in an interview.
Mr. Capus refused to characterize the network's intentions. But it is leaning toward an ensemble of hosts that would be led by Chuck Todd, NBC's political director, and include David Gregory, a correspondent and MSNBC anchor, according to a person who had been briefed on the proposal but was not authorized to comment, partly because the plans were not set. Like the turnover of anchors at all three network newscasts, the process of choosing a successor for Mr. Russert has been closely watched in media and political circles.
In the meantime Mr. Brokaw has been given an unexpected encore. Since taking over for his close friend Mr. Russert following his death, Mr. Brokaw has lent on-camera stability to ''Meet the Press,'' which continues to be the most watched of the network Sunday public-affairs programs. He has also appeared in guest spots on ''Today'' and on MSNBC that might have otherwise gone to Mr. Russert.
But less widely known is that Mr. Brokaw has also played a pivotal role out of public view, both within NBC and in its dealings with the campaign of John McCain in particular.
In an interview here after Sunday's broadcast, Mr. Brokaw said that over the summer he had ''advocated'' within the executive suite of NBC News to modify the anchor duties of the MSNBC hosts Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews on election night and on nights when there were presidential debates. Their expressions of strong political opinions from the MSNBC anchor desk has run counter to the more traditional role Mr. Brokaw played on ''NBC Nightly News'' for more than two decades. NBC said earlier this month that the two hosts would mostly relinquish their anchor duties to Mr. Gregory, while being present as analysts.
''Keith is an articulate guy who writes well and doesn't make his arguments in a 'So's your old mother' kind of way,'' Mr. Brokaw said. ''The mistake was to think he could fill both roles. The other mistake was to think he wouldn't be tempted to use the anchor position to engage in commentary. That's who he is.''
Mr. Brokaw said he had also conducted some shuttle diplomacy in recent weeks between NBC and the McCain campaign. His mission, he said, was to assure the candidate's aides that -- despite some negative on-air commentary by Mr. Olbermann in particular -- Mr. McCain could still get a fair shake from NBC News. Mr. Brokaw said he had been told by a senior McCain aide, whom he did not name, that the campaign had been reluctant to accept an NBC representative as one of the moderators of the three presidential debates -- until his name was invoked.
''One of the things I was told by this person was that they were so irritated, they said, 'If it's an NBC moderator, for any of these debates, we won't go,' '' Mr. Brokaw said. ''My name came up, and they said, 'Oh, hell, we have to do it, because it's going to be Brokaw.' ''
Mr. Brokaw will moderate the second debate, on Oct. 7, in Nashville.
Last week during the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, Mr. Brokaw said, he spoke briefly with Mr. McCain, who has not appeared on ''Meet the Press'' since Mr. Russert's death. While Mr. Brokaw said he and the Republican nominee are not personal friends, he did say they are ''friendly'' and ''always had a great relationship.''
Of the prospects for a potential booking, Mr. Brokaw said: ''We're going to get him. I don't know exactly where or when.''
As for Sarah Palin, the Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential nominee, thus far she has passed over ''NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams'' in favor of interviews with ''World News With Charles Gibson'' on ABC and the ''CBS Evening News With Katie Couric.'' She has also yet to accept an invitation to appear on ''Meet the Press,'' a point Mr. Brokaw said he raised with her when they met for a moment at the Clinton Global Initiative.
''I told her, 'I'm the only one in this business who ever had Susan Butcher as a house guest,' '' Mr. Brokaw said, referring to the Iditarod champion, who died in 2006. ''Susan Butcher is to Alaska what Cal Ripken is to Baltimore.''
For Mr. Brokaw, who will mark the fourth anniversary of his departure from ''Nightly News'' in December, the work of the last four months has interrupted a life in which he had balanced outdoor recreation in and around his Montana ranch with long-form journalism, including books, magazine articles and documentaries.
Instead, on Sunday, he presided over a mini-debate between David Axelrod, the top strategist to Senator Barack Obama, and Steve Schmidt, Mr. McCain's top aide. Asked where he would have otherwise been, Mr. Brokaw, said, ''I would have been watching 'Meet the Press,' '' probably from Montana.
Last week, he interviewed former president Bill Clinton in New York and then traveled to Mississippi to watch the first presidential debate and provide on-camera analysis. In the preceding weeks, he reported from Beijing, London, and Denver and St. Paul, the sites of the two party conventions.

Homophone story
Homophones, as we all know, are two or more words which have a different spelling but the same pronunciation, for example, son and sun. One way to make the presentations of homophones more interesting is their inclusion in an amusing or interesting story. Students read the story and have to identify and correct the homophones. Here is a brief example :
Eye woke up this morning and went too have breakfast. As usual, I eight to eggs and sum bacon. I looked out of the window to see what the whether was like. The son was shining, witch was amazing, because it had been raining all knight etc etc etc
Okay, so this story was neither amusing nor interesting, but it should give you an idea of how to do it!

Andray Blatche of the Brooklyn Nets was questioned by police Tuesday morning about an alleged sexual assault at a hotel in Philadelphia, and later released. Blatche went on to score 20 points against the 76ers in a Brooklyn victory Tuesday night. After the game, more gory details from Monday's hotel incident began to emerge. From ABC 6 in Philly:
According to sources, Blatche met the alleged victim at Delilah's gentlemen's club on Spring Garden Street. They say she along with two other women went to the Four Seasons Hotel suite.
The suite was being rented by Blatche, whose one-year contract with the Nets became guaranteed just hours before the alleged incident.
The woman told investigators at least two of the men raped her and the others saw what was happening.
Sources tell Action News investigators found samples of the date rape drug in the suite.
Blatche and three others were questioned by police and released Tuesday morning; two, though, remain in custody.
The Nets forward told police while he was in the hotel suite, he was not in the same room where the sex was taking place.
But sources say investigators found Blatche's cell phone with what they described as compromising pictures of the alleged victim.
A strip club, the date rape drug, and allegedly taking photos of the victim? Yikes. Here's what the New York Times has, which is a slightly different version of events:
According to Ramsey, Blatche was among three men and three women who were together inside a room at the Four Seasons Hotel in Center City, where the Nets stayed Monday night. One of the women, whom Ramsey described as "highly intoxicated," said that she had "nonconsensual sex" with one of the men and "consensual sex" with another man. Blatche was "not an active participant" in either supposed sexual encounter, and he was not in the bedroom area when the alleged assault took place.

We recently found out my Grandfather's name was Alessandro Verta, DOB is either 2-2-1887 or 2-2-1907. We have no other information except he came to the US, but can't find info. Somewhere along the way, his last name was changed to VELTO.
Filippo Onorato was born May 15, 1909 in Fagnano Castello and died there on June 24, 2003. I am seeking the names, dates or any information concerning his parents. Thank you!
My grandfather was born in Fagnano Castello on Feb. 12th 1890. He emigrated to the US in 1907. His parents were Gaetano Avolio and Maria Francesca Porcella. I have no dates for their births, marriage, or deaths. Any information on them would be most welcome, as I have hit a brick wall with my family tree.
I am seeking information about my grandfather's family. Emiddio Bello (b.1891-d.1948), eldest son of Agostino and Angela from Fagnano-Castello, Italy. He migrated to America, settled in Salem, Oregon with a younger brother Frank (b.1895-d.1964) in the 1900s. Other siblings include Luigina (b.1893-d.1960), Maria, Vincenzina (b.1898), Saletta (b.1912-d.1975), Rosina (b.1913), Pasquale (b.1911-d.SpanishWar) and Erico (b.1905-d.1973). Any additional information would be very appreciated and helpful. I uncovered data linking Rosina to Corona, CA. She had a son Giovanni Carnovale and grandson Batista Carnovale. I would like to extend these distant cousins a welcome.
I am searching for information on my grandfather who came to the United States from Fagnano. We were told he was an orphan yet he traveled with a brother. His name was Alessandro Velto. The last name could have been changed at Ellis Island. He was born in the 1880's, and came to the US around 1910. Sad that he passed away in 1922, 2 months before my father was born. My father never new his father and someday I hope to know more about his father.
Pai: Vincenzo Greco, veio para o Brasil em torno de 1950 e avós Emídio Greco e Carolina Caprino Greco. Gostaria de saber se há familiares vivendo na cidade de Fagnano Castello.
My grandparents both came from Fagnano Costello-Cozensa.
Maria Savaria Iapichino and Filiberto Ruggiero. They married in NYC on 1916. The parents of Filiberto are: Rosario Farrante and Gioacchiono. Maria Savaria are: Raffaele and Maria Domencia Tunno. Can you give me the name of the cemetery where they're buried, if possible or a photo? Don't have year of their deaths or any information on the Iapichino name?
Thank you so much. I am trying to do a family history on the grandparents I never met.
Hi it's interesting but maybe my relatives are the ones you listed here. I'm looking for a Ralph and Mary Tunno, Ralph was from Fagnano Costello, Cosenza Italy and she was from Calabria as well but not sure what town. Mary's last name however was not Savaria, it was Trotta (but that's because her father had multiple wives and my great grandmother, her half sister has the last name Trotta..so we always called them the Trotta sister) all living in or near Paterson, NJ.
I am searching for my family which originated in Fagnano Castello, I believe. The oldest relatives I can find are Sebastiano Avolio b: ?(spouse Maria Domenica Tommasina Carmela Barone b:4 Aug 1830). Other family originating from there is Francesco Tarsitano b: 1868 (spouse Fiorina Avolio b: Nov. 1867) and Phillip Perrone b: April 8, 1890 (spouse Rosina J. Tarsitano b: 1898).
Hi. My grandfather was born in Fagnano Castello. His name was Sebastiano Tarsitano. He was born in 1886 and emigrated to the US in 1903. He came to the US by himself and no one has a record of his family he left there. We believe he had a sister, but don't know her name. Have you run across the name "Sebastiano Tarsitano"?
I am just now seeing this post! Did you find out anything about Sebastiano? I don't have him in my family tree, but I haven't filled out all of the Tarsitano line, yet. Sorry that I can't be more help.
Hi George, my maternal grandfather mother's maiden name was Tarsitano. Her first name was Concetta. I believe she was born on October 24, 1898. They came to the US in 1927.
Did Philip have a brother? I have a photo of my great-grandmother's (she was an Avolio) cousin Philip Perrone together with his brother. They were all from Fagnano.

We were born in Guatemala, we started our pastoral ministry at a young age, planting over 13 churches in different places. We are educated in Theology and family therapy.
We were pioneers of the Hispanic ministry in Tennessee. We were career missionaries to the Mesoamerica region and in charge of promoting evangelism in 5 countries, including Mexico.
We've been pastors to the First Hispanic Church of the Nazarene of Kansas City in which we've implemented leader's training, church planting, and the SEDE program for theological education, now also online.
At a moment that we thought we were going to retire in our current ministry, after pastoring a total of 35 consecutive years, the Lord convinced us of the need to return to the missionary field and accept the challenge to be the Coordinator of Ministerial Strategy for North-Central Meso America. I have continued my higher education and have closed a doctorate in leadership and contextualization.

Designers like Rag & Bone, Carolina Herrera and Rachel Zoe sent tailored suits, crisp shirts and classic oxfords down the fall 2013 runways. And while mannish, when styled correctly, each look appeared femininely chic.
Want to test the trend out for yourself? It's easy. As long as you follow these dos and don'ts.
Pair a boys'-inspired fitted blazer with a flirty skirt, rather than opting for the full-on suit.
Instead of sporting a classic black menswear tuxedo jacket, for example, try something colorful, or one with a metallic lapel. It's unexpected, sleek and gives the look just the right amount of girliness.
Rocking a pantsuit? Add a touch of femme with a cool tee under the blazer, instead of that classic button-front shirt like the guys would normally wear.
What's the easiest way to make any look appear feminine? By adding embellishments. Especially when it comes to accessories. Testing out a pair of two-tone brogues or flats? Try a pair with a bit of glitter for a subtle touch of girly glamour.
And there you have it! What do you think? Will you give this trend a whirl this season? Sound off in the comment section below!

* Fed to continue asset buys as doubts grow
* Investors eye congressional-White House battles ahead
* Retailers post December sales
* Positive jobs data has little impact
* Indexes down: Dow 0.13 pct, S&P 0.16 pct, Nasdaq 0.17 pct
By Chuck Mikolajczak
NEW YORK, Jan 3 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks edged lower on Thursday after minutes from the latest Federal Reserve meeting showed growing concern about the risks of its highly stimulative monetary policy.
Despite the concerns about the effects of its asset purchases, the Fed look set to continue its open-ended stimulus program for now.
The minutes from the December meeting showed a growing reticence about further increases in the central bank's $2.9 trillion balance sheet, which it expanded sharply in response to the financial crisis and recession of 2007-2009.
Stocks had pushed the benchmark S&P 500 index 4.3 percent higher during a two-day run as investors turned their focus to upcoming battles in Congress, including likelihood of bitter fights over spending cuts and raising the federal debt ceiling.
"As we look down the pathway here, there are some real issues in front of the market. There is going to be a new battle in two months over the debt ceiling and sequestration and fourth-quarter earnings are going to start to come into focus," said Stephen Massocca, managing director at Wedbush Morgan in San Francisco.
"There are some issues out there that could hold this market back, but on the other side of the ledger, zero interest rates are a tremendous stock market flotation device."
The rally in equities began on the last day of 2012 on optimism a deal would be reached to avert the "fiscal cliff," and avoid a possible recession. Gains continued on Wednesday, the first trading day of 2013, with Wall Street's best performance since Dec. 20, 2011 after Congress approved a fiscal compromise.
Retailers advanced after several major companies in the sector beat expectations of modest sales increases in December, with the S&P retail index up 0.8 percent and the Morgan Stanley retail index up 0.6 percent.
