A year after executives admitted in a closed door meeting that their management techniques were more comparable to the military than a corporation, Apple is starting soften up and offer employees better perks. Like its neighbor in Mountain View, the Cupertino company is piloting a program called "Blue Sky" that, among other mysterious things, invites a select group of employees to spend a few weeks working on unique special projects. One of those mentioned in a just published Wall Street Journal report about the program is a "a pet engineering project." We have absolutely no idea what that means, but we're hoping it's cooler than Sony's robot dog. (R.I.P.)
Like all things Apple, the details of Blue Sky are extremely secret. Most of those The Journal's Jessica E. Lessin was able to confirm are sort of boring perks regarding compensation. Apple is starting to get more assertive about keeping good employees from being poached by other companies by offering more handsome counteroffers. The company is also putting a new spin on compensation packages by showing the dollar amount of stock options to employees, rather than the number of shares. (There's not word yet on whether or not they've started paying their retail employees a living wage or not.) Non-boring perks include water slides, all night hackathons, all-expense-paid trips to Budapest and, of course,
free lunch death benefits. To our knowledge, Apple offers none of these. They are offering employee discounts on iPods now, though!
Perhaps the greatest perk of them all, though, comes straight from the top. Apparently, Tim Cook is actually being nice to employees. This was not Steve Jobs's forté. Whereas Jobs was known for making employees cry and destroying prototypes that took months to build because he didn't like the shape of a button or something, Cook is the kind of guy who says that his employees "are doing the best work of their lives" in front of millions of onlookers at major public events.
The inevitable down side to all of this is that underneath this glossy new veneer, Cook is still dealing with Jobs's legacy, and in many ways, nothing has changed at the company. Last week, ReadWrite's Dan Lyons ran a fascinating interview with former Apple sales executive David Sobotta, who recently wrote a memoir about his 20 years at Apple. Sobotta left the company in 2004 but worked closely with Cook on a number of projects. His impression of the company still sort of new CEO is not altogether positive. "Tim will react to the numbers or his fear of being wrong quickly," Sobotta told Lyons. "Fear of being wrong is a managerial trait that runs strong and deep in Apple because of the way Steve ran the company. Even the appearance of being wrong when in the end you might be right is dreaded at Apple."
Well, that doesn't sound anything like the kind of atmosphere you might find at the Razor scooter-stocked Google offices. Or the geek theme park-like atmosphere at Facebook HQ. Apple is a serious company. (A seriously successful one too, but that's for another blog post.) Sobotta added, "You don't make mistakes at Apple and get a second chance. That often hinders decision-making and creates a lot of passive-aggressiveness between teams that should be cooperating."
In conclusion, Apple is now letting employees embark on their own creative projects. But they'd better be awesome. Or else.

Preclinical muscular dystrophy data shows promise
Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute researchers have found that an experimental compound may help stem the debilitating effects of muscular dystrophy by restoring normal blood flow to muscles affected by the genetic disorder.
The researchers studied HCT 1026, a new type of molecule in which nitric oxide is chemically attached to a standard anti-inflammatory agent, in a preclinical model of muscular dystrophy. Results suggest HCT 1026 may be beneficial for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which begins in early childhood, and Becker muscular dystrophy, which often occurs later in adulthood.
Preliminary results were presented in April 2012 at the Experimental Biology meeting and now the full study is published in the Public Library of Science (PLOS ONE) and is available online.
Both forms of muscular dystrophy are caused by problems with a protein called dystrophin, which helps maintain healthy muscles. If patients have less dystrophin protein or if their body manufactures dystrophin protein that does not function correctly, their muscles cannot work properly and eventually become permanently damaged. As diseased muscles weaken over time, patients gradually can lose their ability to walk, sit or use their muscles in other ways. There is no cure now for either form of the disease.
"There is an urgent unmet need for effective therapeutic options for this devastating disease," said Ronald G. Victor, MD, director of the Cedars-Sinai Center for Hypertension in the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute and the Burns and Allen Chair in Cardiology Research. "If we can improve blood flow in muscular dystrophy patients, we may be able to preserve some muscle function over a longer period of time."
HCT 1026 dramatically improved blood flow in muscles used during exercise by dystrophin-deficient laboratory mice who share the same genetic defect as humans, Cedars-Sinai researchers found. The compound may have accomplished this by delivering nitric oxide, a key molecule involved in many physiological functions and found at reduced levels in dystrophic muscles.
The compound fully restored blood flow to affected muscles within the first month of treatment, and the impact was completely sustained for three months without any noticeable adverse side effects.
Authors of the study said the results represent a step in the quest to find an effective treatment for muscular dystrophy that will reduce muscle wasting as well as slow the progression of the disease.
"Based on our previous work, we think the ability of HCT 1026 to release nitric oxide is the key to restoring muscle blood flow in dystrophin-deficient mice," said Gail Thomas, PhD, a lead author of the Cedars-Sinai study. "HCT 1026 is an interesting prototype which allowed us to investigate the potential of this family of molecules in muscular dystrophies. While we do not expect these nitric oxide-donating compounds to cure the disease, our hope is that the improved blood flow could reduce muscle fatigue and injury, allowing patients to be more active while slowing down the loss of vital muscle."

Rep. Eliot Engel: The Sequester Is 'Stupid'
(WASHINGTON) – Speaking Sunday morning on ABC News' This Week, Rep. Eliot Engel, D-NY, called the automatic spending cuts — also known as the "sequester" — that are scheduled to go into effect on March 1 a "stupid thing."
"I think the sequester was a stupid thing. I voted against it the first time it came up. Congress keeps kicking the can down the road. It's really a ridiculous thing to do. The fact is that we need to do things that are smart, not take a meat cleaver and just hack cuts," Engel said. "I think Congress should sit down and avoid the sequester. And if the sequester kicks in, for a week or two, we should then fix it so it doesn't become a permanent thing."
Engel, the Foreign Affairs Committee ranking member, was joined on the This Week roundtable by House Intelligence Committee Chair Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., who warned that sequestration would affect national security.
"There will be [an] impact on national security, there is no doubt. And I think there's some misnomers. So it's really only 2 cents on the dollar over the whole federal budget, but they've scrunched that down into seven months and highlighted, or at least put most of the burden on the Defense Department. So that is going to have an impact. That's a 13 percent cut," Rogers said.
Rogers went on to argue for making the departments responsible for giving the cuts "flexibility" to ensure the cuts are made wisely as opposed to indiscriminately.
"There's a big difference from a sailor on the Eisenhower out in the Mediterranean and the travel coordinator at the EPA. You can't treat them the same. And the way this is structured it treats everyone the same. Can't do that," Rogers said. "We have intelligence operations that could get slowed down or stopped. That's a problem."
Automatic spending cuts will go into effect on March 1 if a deal to avert it is not reached before that time. Lawmakers, unable to agree on the makeup of a possible deal, have not been able to reach a deal to avoid the looming cuts. President Obama has called for an alternative that includes both spending cuts and new revenue. Republican leaders have said new revenue is off the table.

A NYC guy issued a summons for wearing his pants low has been cleared because, says Judge Ruben Franco, "the Constitution still leaves some opportunity for people to be foolish if they so desire."
The judge suggests in his decision that the cop, whose summons accused Julio Martinez of having "his pants down below his buttocks exposing underwear [and] potentially showing private parts," was "an attempt by one police officer to show his displeasure with a particular style of dress." Judge Franco continued, "While most of us may consider it distasteful, and indeed foolish, to wear one's pants so low as to expose the underwear . . . people can dress as they please, wear anything, so long as they do not offend public order and decency."
Although other courts around the country have disagreed, banning low pants, this seems to be the final word on the subject in New York. Where, in fairness, Gaga roams free — with no pants in evidence and at far greater risk of causing a public disturbance.

Pitfalls of Technical Analysis when Day Trading
A lot of people make a lot of money selling services to day traders. They produce videos, organize seminars, and (ahem) write books to tell you how to be a success. But in the financial world, success is a combination of luck, skill, and smarts.
Before you commit wholeheartedly to any particular school of research and before you plunk down a lot of money for some "proven" system demonstrated on an infomercial, think about who are you are and what you are trying to do. Despite all the books and all the seminars and all the business-school debates, every form of research has its drawbacks. Keep them in mind as you develop your day-trading business plan.
If it's obvious, there's no opportunity
Many day trading systems work much of the time. For example, a security gaps up, meaning that, due to positive news or high demand, the price jumps from one trade to the next. This is good, and the security is likely to keep going up. So you buy the security, you make money. Bingo!
But here's the thing: Everyone is looking at that gap, everyone is assuming that the stock will go up, so everyone buys, and that bids up the security. The profit opportunity is gone. So maybe you're better off going short? Or avoiding the situation entirely? Who knows?
And that's the problem. Looking for obvious patterns like gaps tells you a lot about what is happening in the market, but only your own judgment and experience can tell you what the next move should be.
Overanalyzing the data
Sitcoms always revert to tired formulas. The smart kid brags about how he or she will dominate a talent or quiz show, but panics on the big day. Two people who can't stand each other get a horrible sickness that requires them to be quarantined — in the same hospital ward.
Or there's this one: The kids want to do something that the parents don't approve of. The parents try reverse psychology. "Go have fun at the party, kids!" they say, thinking the kids will not want to do anything parents approve of. The kids, knowing the parents are using reverse psychology, decide to use reverse-reverse psychology. "Don't worry, we'll stay home!" they say — then sneak out. Hilarity ensues.
Technical analysis is a useful way to gauge market psychology. But when trying to determine the mood of the market, you can easily start over-analyzing and working yourself into a knot. Should you follow the trend or trade against it? But if everyone trades against it, would you be better off following it?
Instead of puzzling over what's really going on, develop a system that you trust. Do that through backtesting, simulation, and performance analysis. The more confident you feel in how you should react given a market situation, the better your trading will be.
Success may be the result of an upward bias
Under the efficient markets theory, all information is already included in a security's price. Until new information comes into the market, the prices move in a random pattern, so any security is as likely to do as well as any other.
In some markets, like the stock market, this random path has an upward bias, meaning that as long as the economy is growing, companies should perform well, too; therefore, the movement is more likely to be upward than downward, but the magnitude of the movement is random.
If price movements are random, some people are going to win and some are going to lose, no matter what systems they use to pick securities. If price movements are random with an upward bias, then more people are going to win than lose, no matter what systems they use to pick securities.
Some of those who win are going to tout their systems, even though random chance was really what led to their success.

WASHINGTON, April 5 (UPI) -- House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said President Barack Obama, in the budget he previewed Friday, is holding entitlement reforms "hostage for more tax hikes."
Obama's budget blueprint, to be released next week, will include proposed changes to Social Security and Medicare, and some new tax increases, administration officials said.
The senior officials said Obama's budget will include an offer the president made to Boehner in December -- $400 billion in savings to Medicare over 10 years, CNN reported Friday. Senior administration officials confirmed Friday the budget would include "chained CPI" -- a formula that would reduce the rate of federal benefit and Social Security payment increases keyed to the rate of inflation, and a key Republican request.
"If the president believes these modest entitlement savings are needed to shore up these programs, there's no reason they should be held hostage for more tax hikes," Boehner said in a statement. "That's no way to lead and move the country forward."
His statement is a rejection of Obama's call for Congress to agree to a combination of tax hikes and entitlement changes, the Washington newspaper The Hill reported Friday.
Liberals criticized the president for the proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts and warned congressional Democrats not to vote for the proposals, the left-leaning Talking Points Memo website reported.
Anna Galland, executive director of MoveOn.org said in a statement the cuts "would harm seniors who worked hard all their lives."
"That's unconscionable," she said. "It's even more outrageous given that Republicans in Congress aren't even asking for this Social Security cut. This time, the drive to cut Social Security is being led by President Obama and Democrats."
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, Ind-Vt., said he will "do everything in [his] power" to block the cuts, The Hill reported.
"In poll after poll, the American people are overwhelmingly against cutting Social Security," Sanders said in a statement. "And organizations representing a broad spectrum of millions of Americans from the AFL-CIO to the American Legion to AARP to NOW have urged the president not to make this terrible mistake."
Some critics of chained CPI say it is not an accurate way to measure inflation for Social Security recipients because their healthcare expenses rise faster than inflation, CNN said.
"The president's budget to be presented on Wednesday will show how we can invest in the things we need to grow our economy, create jobs and strengthen the middle class while further reducing the deficit in a balanced way," an official said.
The new budget would garner about $1.8 trillion in savings in 10 years and replace the forced budget cuts, known as the sequester, that took effect March 1, CNN said.
Also included in Obama's proposal are funds for initiatives he outlined in his State of the Union address, including universal access to pre-kindergarten education, which would be underwritten by an increase in cigarette taxes.
The plan would close a loophole that allows people to collect disability and unemployment benefits simultaneously, officials said.
Obama's budget was due in February. Congressional Republicans have been critical of the delay, which followed drawn-out negotiations on spending cuts and tax rates.

In USA TODAY's Innovators and Icons series, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell discusses the future of the league. He says technology, player injuries and expanding worldwide have to be the focus to grow the game.
NEW YORK — When Roger Goodell graduated from college, he sent a letter to his father. "If there is one thing I want to accomplish in my life besides becoming commissioner of the NFL," he wrote, "it is to make you proud of me."
Goodell would make good on both goals. He began by writing more than 40 letters to NFL teams and to league headquarters, looking for any sort of opening. That led to an offer of low-level administrative intern in the league office in 1982, clipping newspaper stories and the like, and he was on his way.
By now he's made the leap from intern to icon.
"I didn't say that," Goodell says, laughing. "I wouldn't say that at all."
He is talking to USA TODAY Sports in a conference room at the NFL's Park Avenue headquarters for a series on Icons and Innovators. Goodell is more comfortable with that other I-word. When up for commissioner in 2006, he promised NFL owners he'd focus on three primary areas: The game, the 32 franchises — and innovation.
"I made the very strong point at that time that our biggest risk was getting complacent," Goodell says of the nation's most popular sports league. "We have to continue to find new ways to grow the NFL, to respond to the interest in the game and make everything we do better. For us in the NFL, innovation is simply about better ways to do things."
Complacency, as it turned out, wouldn't be a problem. The NFL is facing perhaps its greatest existential crisis. A growing body of evidence suggests blows to the head from playing the game can lead to ills such as dementia, depression and Alzheimer's disease. More than 4,000 former players are suing the NFL, arguing that the league spread misinformation about neurological risks even as it profited from the game's violent nature.
INNOVATORS: More icons in their respective fields
Goodell, 54, says much of the innovation during his tenure has come in the crucial area of player safety. In 2009, the NFL disbanded its Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee, which had refuted a link between the game and chronic brain damage. In 2010, safety rules were expanded with a focus on illegal hits to the head. In 2011, the NFL's Head, Neck and Spine Committee created a standardized concussion assessment protocol and the league committed more than $100 million to medical research with a special focus on brain injuries.
"I've been very open about it, it's our No. 1 priority," Goodell says. "To continue to make our game safer and improve it and make it safer for the players who play the game. And that's not only at the NFL level. I think that's all levels of football."
The NFL has made significant research grants to the National Institutes of Health and other organizations. The league supports USA Football's initiative called Heads Up Football, a comprehensive youth football membership program designed to improve youth player safety.
Goodell will appear Friday in Cincinnati at the 117th annual National PTA Convention and Exposition, where he'll speak on Health and Safety for a New Generation.
"We want to make sure the parents understand what we're doing not just to make football at our level safer but also at all levels, including our efforts with USA Football and our Heads Up initiative," Goodell says.
Heads Up takes its name from tackling techniques that take the head out of the line of contact.
"It starts to a large extent with who's supervising their children, who's coaching their children," Goodell says. "Have they been properly certified, trained? Not only what they're coaching but also to recognize when injuries occur and to make sure that they're managed conservatively."
Goodell says he hopes research into concussions can help athletes in all sports.
"We recognize our leadership position," he says. "We want to make sure we are doing the right things for the people who play the game of football but we also believe this has tremendous benefits for people who play other sports. I have twin daughters who are 11 and I want my kids to be active in sports."
President Obama, who also has two daughters, famously told The New Republic this winter that if he had a son he'd "think long and hard" before letting him play football.
Goodell wrote Obama a letter soon after. "Obviously we have a different view," Goodell says. "We believe that we are doing all the right things. We need to do more. And we're committed to doing more."
And what of critics who suggest the NFL is not doing enough?
"I agree, we're not," Goodell says. "We're always trying to do more. We're always going to look for what else we can do. … We just want to do it responsibly. We want to do it in a very thoughtful way. And you've got to look at the unintended consequences of anything you do. So these things take a great deal of analysis and evaluation. We're proud of the work we've done and we agree we have more to do."
Kevin Guskiewicz, who directs the Matthew Gfeller Sport-Related Traumatic Brain Injury Research Center at the University of North Carolina, is a member of the NFL's Head, Neck and Spine Committee.
"What I like about Roger is he's a good listener," Guskiewicz says. "He takes in a lot of information and the decisions he makes are informed. He appreciates that there is a trickle-down effect to the college, high school and youth levels and I think his legacy will be that across the board he cares about health and safety."
Goodell was co-captain of his high school football team in Bronxville, N.Y., and he'd planned to play Division III football at Washington and Jefferson in Washington, Pa., but tore a knee ligament while working out during the summer before college.
"Sports are part of our life," Goodell says. "They're important in building our self esteem and our sense of confidence. For a kid who played nine years of tackle football, I wouldn't give back one day of that. I believe the things that I learned playing tackle football are the things that help me today. I use those values and those lessons every day of my life."
He also learned lessons from his father, the man to whom he wrote that prescient letter all those years ago. Charles Goodell was elected to Congress from New York just months after Roger's birth in 1959 in Jamestown, about 75 miles southwest of Buffalo.
New York governor Nelson Rockefeller selected Goodell's father to complete the nearly two years remaining in Robert F. Kennedy's Senate term after the former attorney general's assassination 45 years ago this month. Charles Goodell bucked his own Republican party when he joined Democrats in co-sponsoring a bill that called for a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam.
"He knew the consequences would likely be that he'd lose his seat in the next election because he was speaking out against the current administration," Goodell says. "And he did it, because it was the right thing to do, and was proven to be the right thing to do."
Charles Goodell earned a place on President Nixon's so-called Enemies List and the sitting senator placed a distant third in a three-party race in the 1970 election.
"He believed that he was in public service, that he had a responsibility to the people who elected him to do the right thing," Goodell says. "And they may not always be popular. … We are proud of the stand he took. And I think that demonstrates a principle that I try to stand by, which is, 'Do the right thing at all times, can't worry about short-term consequences.'"
His father died in 1987, nearly 20 years before Goodell would succeed Paul Tagliabue as the NFL's eighth commissioner. This interview takes place a few days before Fathers' Day and Goodell ends it with thoughts of his wife and twin daughters.
"It's my responsibility as a husband and a father in making sure that I can do everything to spend that quality time with them, while they still want to be with Dad," he says. "I got them Sunday, at least, for Fathers' Day. They love being with Dad and I love being with them."

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Having students choose lines from literature that interest them gives every reader, regardless of ability, a "way in" to a text, and is an excellent starting point for reader-response activities. As teacher Alfredo Lujan demonstrates in his classroom, students might be asked to find a line that "jumps out" or "tickles" them, and to give a brief explanation why. This exercise helps readers connect what they are reading with their own lives. Like most of the reader-response strategies, this one can be adapted by the teacher to suit the class and the purpose of the lesson. Once students identify the lines they find most interesting or important, they can share them in pairs or small groups, or record them in a journal along with comments about why they chose the lines. The lines can then become a starting point for a whole-class discussion.
Teachers who want to go further with this technique -- when reading, for instance, a particularly dense or difficult text -- can have students use the chosen lines to make connections to other things they are reading or learning about. For example, a line like "wrap their babies in the American flag / feed them mashed hot dogs and apple pie / name them Bill and Daisy," from Pat Mora's poem "Immigrants," could link to photos and news stories about immigrants or to other works of literature that describe the immigrant experience. Students might create collages to illustrate the lines, or write essays in which they trace how the meaning of a powerful line such as this resonates in several different works.
Still another use of the technique is demonstrated by teacher Greg Hirst, who models it with his students by reading James Welch's poem "Christmas Comes to Moccasin Flat." He has them choose five or six important words in each stanza; he then has his students narrow the important words down to "one absolutely critical word" per stanza. By making these choices, he says, his students are drawn deeper and deeper into the poem.
An extension of Hirst's idea is the technique of having students create a poem with lines from a text. To do this, teachers should have students identify a theme, character, idea, motif, or pattern of some kind in a text. Next, students should choose lines from that text that illustrate that theme or pattern. Finally, the students rearrange their lines into some new form -- poetry or prose -- that illustrates this theme powerfully. They can then read their new poems aloud, post them in the classroom, illustrate them, or present them as a theater piece.
Note: Teachers using this technique should generally refrain from publicly praising or censoring students for their choice of quotes from the text. If students are led to believe that there is, in fact, one "right" answer, the freedom and spirit of exploration necessary for true reader response will be jeopardized.
This exercise is a non-threatening way to open up discussion of a text. Readers of almost any ability will be able to choose at least one line, and once students see that there is no "right" or "wrong" reason for choosing a line, they will feel free to give honest and emotional responses to what they read. The exercise also ensures that each student contributes and that the more vocal students are not allowed to dominate. It is an easy way to have students focus on the words of the text itself so that any discussion that follows is grounded in that text.

Burford is a city in Cotswolds.
Get in[edit]
Public Transport
A number of different buses run between Burford and other local towns.
By Car
By car you can reach Burford easily Via the A40 from Oxford or Cheltenham directions. Otherwise you can come in from the direction of Stow-on-the-Wold on the A424 which is a beautiful drive.
There is a free car-park at the bottom end of town, and car-parking on the streets- but be careful- parking in some areas is limited to 2 hours, though this is clearly marked. Most of the hotels also have their own car-parking.
Get around[edit]
The town is small enough to walk everywhere. The lovely high street has many shops, pubs and tea rooms to spend a pleasant afternoon browsing.

Roads are flat and good for cycling.

Dressing up on Halloween doesn't have to be scary for your wallet.
If you want to say, "Boo" without breaking the bank, steer clear of the costume aisle and try some of these DIY options instead. They're cheap, easy and have the potential to win a costume party award for "Most Clever."
Or not.
Either way, have fun with these creative costume ideas.
Dancing with the Stars: Cover a tutu and leotard with glow-in-the-dark star-shaped stickers.
Breaking News: Staple torn newspapers to old clothing.
Sick and Tired: Put a bicycle tire around your neck and a thermometer in your mouth.
Stick in the Mud: Wear an all-brown outfit and sew a large twig onto your chest.
Smartie Pants: Glue rolls of Smarties candies onto a pair of old pants.
Iron Chef: Wear a chef's hat and carry an iron.
Quarter Pounder: Carry a quarter in one hand and a hammer in the other.
Tickled Pink: Don a head-to-toe pink ensemble with a pink feather boa.
Chick Magnet: Attach Barbie dolls all over yourself.
Dr. Pepper: Get a white lab coat or some surgical scrubs and pin chili peppers all over yourself.
Deviled Egg: Wear all white. Paint or attach a yellow circle to your stomach. Wear devil horns and carry a pitchfork.
Martha Stewart: Wear a flannel shirt in pastel colors over a t-shirt, with loose khaki pants and comfortable flat shoes. Stuff gardening gloves in your pocket and wear an apron. Carry a fancy lined basket with fresh muffins and cookies inside.

Martha Stewart Takes the Stand in Macy's Lawsuit
(NEW YORK) -- Even in court Martha Stewart never fails to make an impression.
Stewart, who referred to herself as an "uber-designer," testified Tuesday in State Supreme Court in Manhattan wearing a short, light brown skirt and matching vest with a cream colored blouse underneath. At one point she declared "I love Macy's," the company that is suing her for breach of contract.
Macy's insists it has exclusive rights to sell Stewart's line of home products. It accused her company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, of violating that agreement when it inked a deal with JCPenny, though Stewart seemed to see no conflict.
"It just boggles my mind that we're here," Stewart testified.
Asked whether Stewart's company suggested to Macy's that it could or would sell goods in any competing department store she answered, "There were categories that were non-exclusive to Macy's that we could sell in other department stores."
Stewart said she did business with lots of other stores.
"I don't know if you can consider Petsmart a department store for pets," she said. "Michaels is kind of a department store for crafts."
Ted Grossman, an attorney representing Macy's, repeatedly tried to tar Stewart as cut-throat businesswoman willing let others assume risk as she raked in profits, an accusation Stewart rebuked.
"We take tremendous risk," she said. "Our first obligation is to our consumer."
The lawsuit calls into question the legality of hundreds of items Stewart's company agreed to sell inside JCPenny stores.
"We thought, and I hope rightly so, that we were allowed to do such a thing," Stewart said, attempting to condense a multi-million dollar lawsuit into a simple misunderstanding.
Stewart's turn on the witness stand brought her back to a New York court eight years after she was convicted of lying to authorities about her sale of ImClone stock.
When asked whether she was comfortable on the witness stand Stewart replied, "As comfortable as can be."

"Painter's Tree"
"Painter's Tree"
I use thick 4mm transparent glass here, in two layers, painting in between and collaging with metal inclusion. Every pendant in this collection is a one-of-a-kind painting. They are made in small batches of nine or ten at a time, and go through multiple firings in a small box kiln. I treat them each as a little painting and continue working on each one for as long as it takes until I'm satisfied that its ready for its final firing.
The bail is silver-plated brass with a lacquer finish to protect it and to minimize tarnishing. NECKLACE IS NOT INCLUDED! It can be purchased separately.

In the second quarter of 2011, investors focused their attention on weaker economic growth, continuing sovereign debt concerns in Europe and supply-chain disruptions caused by Japan's devastating earthquake. "As a result, equity funds were down 0.20 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 — their first quarterly loss in four," says Tom Roseen, head of research services for Lipper.
In addition, Lipper preliminary data shows equity mutual fund investors were net redeemers of equity fund assets in the period and pulling out an estimated $0.8 billion from the conventional funds business (excluding exchange-traded funds). For May and June, on renewed interest in income plays, investors added more money to bond funds and injected some $46.1 billion net into fund coffers, though also withdrew some $5.3 billion from the municipal-bond fund group.
In the second quarter, the Greek Parliament passed a nearly $41-billion budget austerity package to help the country avoid default on its debt, and the markets then had a four-day winning streak. This helped push Lipper's world-equity funds macro-classification up 0.53 percent for the period. This performance topped that of the U.S. diversified-equity funds group (-0.35 percent) and sector-equity funds (-0.79 percent), along with the mixed- equity fund category (+0.37 percent).
Equity funds fell an average of 1.63 percent in May and 1.81 percent in June, Lipper says, but April's 3.31 percent positive return "helped mitigate downside exposure for the quarter." In June, just 4.2 percent of all equity and mixed-asset funds posted positive returns, and only 48 of Lipper's 86 equity and mixed-equity fund classifications posted positive returns for the full second quarter.
By sector, global-health and biotech funds improved 7.29 percent, domestic health and biotech funds ticked up 6.82 percent, and consumer-goods funds rose 4.45 percent, "as investors took a more defensive stance in the market," explains Roseen. Among the laggards, "old favorites" like India-region funds (-2.63 percent) and China-region funds (-2.23 percent) were among the cellar dwellers. Precious-metals funds declined 7.98 percent, while commodities/energy funds moved down 7.96 percent and commodities/agriculture funds 7.23 percent.
Fixed Income
Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (or TIPS) funds improved 3.05 percent, as the Fed's Quantitative Easing II program to buy $600 billion in Treasury paper wound down at the end of June, explains Jeff Tjornehoj, head of research for Lipper Americas. According to Barclays Capital, TIPS earned 5.81 percent in the first half of 2011, which is more than twice that of regular Treasuries — and not much less than the S&P 500 index, the Lipper analyst says.
General U.S. Treasury funds rose 2.50 percent in the second quarter. Short U.S. Treasury funds rebounded in the period, with a gain of 1.32 percent to take the group's year-to-date return to 1.23 percent.
Corporate-debt fund groups had a positive quarter, led by corporate-debt BBB-rated funds (+1.95 percent) and corporate-debt A-rated funds (+1.93 percent). U.S. corporate-debt issuance through June was $446 billion or 35 percent more than the same figure for the first half of 2010, according to Lipper. The weaker euro helped international-income funds post a 3.07 percent quarterly gain, while emerging-markets debt funds rose 3.26 percent.
"Muni debt rallied in the second quarter, as the supply of new paper virtually dried up and issuance slowed to its slowest pace since 2000," shares Tjornehoj. Some $105 billion was sold in the first half of 2011, about half the amount during the same time last year. Investors rallied around munis as fears of widespread defaults abated, though, "and yields were simply too juicy to pass up," he adds. California muni-debt funds led the way with a return of 5.23 percent, followed by high-yield muni-debt funds at 5.16 percent. The general muni-debt funds category (with $100 billion in assets) advanced 4.03 percent.

- Local - numbs one small area of the body. You stay awake and alert.
- Regional - blocks pain in an area of the body, such an arm or leg. A common type is epidural anesthesia, which is often used during childbirth.
- General - makes you unconscious. You do not feel any pain, and you do not remember the procedure afterwards.
You may also get a mild sedative to relax you. You stay awake but may not remember the procedure afterwards. Sedation can be used with or without anesthesia.
The type of anesthesia or sedation you get depends on many factors. They include the procedure you are having and your current health.

Health Problems in Pregnancy
Every pregnancy has some risk of problems. You may have problems because of a health condition you had before you got pregnant. You could also develop a condition during pregnancy. Other causes of problems during pregnancy can include being pregnant with more than one baby, a health problem in a previous pregnancy, substance abuse during pregnancy, or being over age 35. Any of these can affect your health, the health of your baby, or both.
If you have a chronic condition, you should talk to your health care provider about how to minimize your risk before you get pregnant. Once you are pregnant, you may need a health care team to monitor your pregnancy. Some common conditions that can complicate a pregnancy include
- High blood pressure
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
- Kidney problems
- Autoimmune disorders
- Obesity
- Cancer
- Infections
Other conditions that can make pregnancy risky can happen while you are pregnant - for example, gestational diabetes and Rh incompatibility. Good prenatal care can help detect and treat them.
Some discomforts, like nausea, back pain, and fatigue, are common during pregnancy. Sometimes it is hard to know what is normal. Call your health care provider if something is bothering or worrying you.

I guess. If you also want to believe that the world is flat and the sun revolves around the Earth. It says it in the Bible so if you believe that a 2000 year old cosmic zombie, carpenter will save you from sins he forced upon you, then believing the world is flat isn't much of a stretch.

What does a sea turtle have to do with supporting the universe? Maybe this is an 'answer' offered to a very young child, from their grandfather, who has just pulled in his nets and found a sea turtle? The kid does not yet have any idea what is going on, and probably will not for their whole life. Grandfather about the same. So why worry about the 'truth'? The kid is rather happy with a nice image, and grandfather is off the hook. Then comes 'the modern world' and we muck it up with details, big numbers, and the truth. Sadly I have been the young kid. I saw the crappy answer as a chalenge. I do love sea turtles!

The Seahawks took a step toward improving an offense that was doing a little better than just getting by.
The team announced they had activated wide receiver Percy Harvin from the physically unable to perform list.
Coach Pete Carroll said last week Harvin would practice more this week, and had previously indicated he was comfortable stashing him on the inactive list for a few weeks if he needed the time to recover from preseason hip surgery.
The Seahawks had a better day in the passing game yesterday, with Golden Tate, Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse each making plays. As nice as that is, Harvin could add an element they've lacked most of the year, even while running out to a 9-1 record.

In the dark caves and jungles of the world, there's an epic 65-million-year evolutionary battle going on between bats and moths.
Moths are obviously the underdogs. But scientists are learning that moths have found ingenious ways to counter the weapons of the bat.
The latest discovery is that the hawkmoths may be jamming the sonar signals bats use to track and catch moths in flight. How do they do it?
According to an article in Nature, behavioral ecologist Jesse Barber of Boise State University in Idaho and phylogeneticist Akito Kawahara of the University of Florida in Gainesville went to Borneo to study how hawkmoths defend themselves.
"When the researchers played bat ultrasound to the hawkmoths, they found that three species (Cechenena lineosa, Theretra boisduvalii and Theretra nessus) they had captured emitted ultrasound clicks in response. The males did so by rapidly grating stiff scales on the outer surface of their 'claspers' — structures normally used to grab females during mating — against part of the abdomen, the researchers report. Females also seem to pull part of their genitalia inwards so that genital scales rub against their abdomens."
This is the second species of moth known to man to find a way to jam the echolocation system employed by bats.
In a 2009 article in the Scientific American, Aaron Corcoran, a biology PhD student at Wake Forest University and the lead author of the paper about how tiger moths jam bat sonar, described how scientists studied and tested behavior of the Bertholdia trigona against the big brown bat Eptesicus fuscus, using high-speed infrared cameras and an ultrasonic microphone to record the action over nine consecutive nights.
"Normally, a bat attack starts with relatively intermittent sounds. They then increase in frequency—up to 200 cries per second—as the bat gets closer to the moth "so it knows where the moth is at that critical moment," Corcoran explains. But his research showed that just as bats were increasing their click frequency, moths "turn on sound production full blast," clicking at a rate of up to 4,500 times a second. This furious clicking by the moths reversed the bats' pattern—the frequency of bat sonar decreased, rather than increased, as it approached its prey, suggesting that it lost its target."
But sonar jamming is not the only weapon in the moth's self-defense system. Researchers have known for 50 years that moths have an early warning system: They can hear the ultrasonic hunting calls of their nocturnal predator.
In a 2006 paper in Current Biology, Dr. James Windmill who was at the University of Bristol, England, at the time, wrote that not only was the simply designed moth ear detecting the echolocation pulses of the bat, but it was actually fine tuning its receptivity when under attack.
He noted that the hearing of Noctuid moths is most sensitive to frequencies at 20–40 kH, which put it at the lower range of the ultrasound frequencies used by bats. And as bats move in closer, both the loudness and the frequency of the bat's sonar calls increase. And the moth responded.
"The moth's ear mechanically tunes up and anticipates the high frequencies used by hunting bats," wrote Dr. Windmill.
Check out a rather cool video depicting what an underwing moth does once he hears that there's a bat in hot pursuit.
An acoustical engineer now at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland, Windmill has continued to study moths. His latest research, published in May in Biology Letters, reports that greater wax moths can hear higher frequencies than any other animal on earth, up to 300 kilohertz.
The highest known frequency of bat echolocation calls is 212 kHz, but some scientists have suggested that bats are evolving higher frequencies or switching frequencies in order to confuse moths.
"A lot of previous work has suggested that some bats have evolved calls that are out of the hearing range of the moths they are hunting. But this moth can hear the calls of any bat," Windmill told Nature.
And so the epic evolutionary war goes on outside the audible range of some very interested human spectators.

You can't shape the dating atmosphere to your advantage without anticipating what is likely to come up. This post is aimed at reinforcing the more practical side of a subject and admittedly aims more at younger than more mature women.
Perhaps the toughest test of your worth to Mr. Good Enough, can and will he accept you without knowing the details of your past sex life? He has four interests: to determine his comparative value as a lover, to prevent his embarrassment as your lover, to determine the likelihood of you cheating, and what really intrigues him: Promiscuous? With his friends? With someone he knows? Mistress? Shack up? Cheap? Easy?
It's his nature; he's born that way. Men begrudge anyone who went before them, and the begrudging varies with who are the individuals. Husbands can be forgotten as legitimate earners of your favors (unless you bring it up)—but not the others and some measure of too many or too much reflects harshly against not just you but more importantly him.
CAUTION: The Manosphere loudly broadcasts that women are equally entitled to sexual freedom and their history is of no concern to advocates of Game philosophy. Don't fall for it, darling. Their philosophic values are founded on the supreme superiority of men over women to the extent that respect for women is non-existent. Their philosophic flavoring floats on Feminism, tends toward homoeroticism, and leans on Islamic values. Overall, it contradicts anyone's interest in sexual discretion and monogamy.
Here are a dozen pointers to help shape the dating scene to your advantage.
- Your known past generates suspicions that override acceptances and assurances. Your unknown past generates fewer suspicions to eat away at the mutual trust you hope to build. [241]
- Men seek and others often advise full disclosure. When men actively pursue more about your past, they can't ignore and not use the information to shape their thinking. Talked into full disclosure, women expect fairness and equality. The male nature does not originate fairness for sharing sexual assets, and equality is a female concept that men don't normally consider in human relations. [241]
- People argue that trust cannot arise without full disclosure. Hah! Trust arises from convictions drawn from beliefs and speculation about a person. Trust does not arise when specific knowledge prevents such convictions. [241]
- Full disclosure comes out uneven, unequal, un-repairable, because the male nature values a woman's chastity far more than the female nature finds interest in a man's sexual history. [241]
- The harder a man works to draw details out of your sexual past, the more likely he will use it against you sometime, someway. Perhaps latently, indirectly, or vengefully. It's available to hold over your head and to rationalize or recover from his own mistakes. [241]
- Forgetting your sexual past with lack of knowledge is far easier than forgiving what Mr. GoodEnough learns from full disclosure. The more he knows, the more he thinks. The more he thinks, the more he looks for the bad or unacceptable. The more unacceptable, the less forgetting. The less forgetting, the less forgiving. [241]
- Feminine intuition trumps full-disclosure. While not easy, you are blessed with the skills and expertise to withhold who, what, when, where, why, and how of what he doesn't already know. Withholding information is not dishonesty. Disclosure means candid, accuracy means honest. [302]
- His spirit and willingness to give more than he takes may indicate his ability to honor your decision and help qualify him as Mr. GoodEnough. However, if he's more of a taker, he may not honor your other expectations either. Such as these after marriage: Have kids even though he agreed. Or your desire to stay home and home school, when he wants more income in the home. Or support you in caring for a sick parent. [327]
- Your undisclosed sexual past defends your relationship, because his ammo box lacks your historical bullets to fire back in domestic squabbles. [327]
- The forward-thinking woman convinces all her female friends to never leak anything about her past to her dating partner, boyfriend, husband, or any other man. But this may fail too, because friends betray friends. They steal dates, boyfriends, lovers, and husbands, don't they? Consequently, the wisest woman keeps her sexual history as secret as possible even from friends and family. [327]
- Former relationships may be known to your man, but no mention should be made or comparative details disclosed. It's toxic in any relationship for you to disclose the relative sexual worth of one man to another, regardless of who's the better. [302]
- Don't think you can outsmart him by claiming he's your greatest lover ever. You opened the door to his inquiry about how and why he's the greatest, so you're trapped into telling what you're best off not to disclose.
The more that Mr. GoodEnough knows, the more likely he will make you pay some price for your past. Couples do squabble. You may never know or understand what's happening. Yet, he may strike back because of your earlier sexual events. It takes very little for reminders of your past to grow into humiliation for him. Your history affects his sense of significance, whether you know it or not and accept it or not.
I know this subject has been perhaps overheated and difficult to accept. Too much of a good thing can still be boring. Tomorrow's subject is also a tender one that needs to be reviewed for mid-life dating. It's submission, even though we all know that subject doesn't apply before marriage. Preparation is easier than recovery, which is the not just everything but quite often the only thing.

KEENE, N.H. (courtesy Keene State College) – Brandeis University men;s soccer seniors Steve Keuchkarian (Watertown, Mass./Watertown) and Theo Terris (Concord, Mass./Concord-Carlisle) each netted a goal and dished out an assist in the Judges' 5-0 victory over Fitchburg State on Saturday afternoon at the Xara Classic at Keene State College.
The Judges outshot the Falcons 37-4 on the game and had 19 corners to Fitchburg's two.
Brandeis midfielder Sam Ocel (N. Attleboro, Mass./N. Attleboro) started the scoring just over 15 minutes into the game on a nice cross from Keuchkarian to push it past the Falcon netminder. Less than five minutes later, junior forward Lee Russo (Westford, Mass./Westford Acad.) broke free of the Falcon defense and scored his first goal of the year all alone on the goalie.
Keuchkarian and Terris netted goals just over two minutes apart, at 54:11 and 56:53 respectively, with each of them being all alone with the Fitchburg goaltender.
Freshman Tyler Savonen (Orleans, Mass./Nauset Regional) added the final goal at the 77:24 mark for the 5-0 final.
Fitchburg freshman forward Wansi Frank (Lynn, Mass.) had the best scoring chance for the Falcons all game. In the first half, Wansi crossed two defenders and ripped a shot at the top right corner, but Brandeis goalkeeper Blake Minchoff (Fiskdale, Mass./Tantasqua Reg.) made a nice diving save to keep the shutout intact.
Minchoff finished the game with three saves for the shutout victory. Falcon freshman goalie Aidan Hanratty (E. Bridgewater, Mass.) was pestered with shots all game, making 14 stops in his first career game in the losing effort.
Both teams are back in action tomorrow on Day Two of the Xara Classic, with Fitchburg squaring off against The College of New Jersey at 12:30, while Brandeis will take on host Keene State College at 2:30.
