Breaking Ebola
Six months into the unprecedented outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in West Africa, the United States and international community are finally trying to catch up to the crisis. On Sept. 16 President Obama committed 3,000 military personnel and $750 million to coordinate relief efforts. Two days later the United Nations Security Council convened its first emergency meeting on a public health crisis, unanimously declaring the epidemic "a threat to international peace and security."
The question now is: Will these efforts be enough to avoid what health officials see as possible worst-case scenarios? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of Ebola cases in Liberia and Sierra Leone, two of the hardest hit countries, could reach between 550,000 and 1.4 million by January absent "additional interventions or changes in community behavior." But the C.D.C. director, Tom Frieden, held out hope, saying that if 70 percent of Ebola patients receive proper care, the disease could run its course by mid-January and that the recent surge in global support is "exactly what's needed."
The next couple of months will be especially crucial, and few institutions can deploy as rapidly as the U.S. military or match its logistical capabilities. But if and when this fever breaks, it will be worth asking whether this is the best way to confront health emergencies. The World Health Organization is the natural alternative, but it has come under criticism for its slow response to the escalating Ebola epidemic. W.H.O., however, is only as effective as U.N. members make it, and it went into West Africa underfunded and understaffed. The time for properly funding its efforts was yesterday, but the international community can still come together to prevent the next crisis.
United Front on Climate
On an overcast Sunday, Sept. 21, veterans of protest who marched for civil rights and against the Vietnam War in the 1960s joined hands with over 300,000 citizens of every generation, social and economic class, religion and political commitment to walk 2.2 miles through Midtown Manhattan shouting and carrying banners: "Wake up, America"; "The dinosaurs didn't see it coming, either."
A nearly block-long string of marchers carried a banner so enormous it could be read only from a distance: "Capitalism Is Killing the Planet." While delegates prepared for the upcoming United Nations climate summit, the boisterous crowd marched along singing "We Shall Overcome." Jesuit scholastics, Sisters of Charity, Capuchin Franciscans from Rome, rabbis, imams, victims of Hurricane Sandy, movie stars, jazz bands and politicians made this People's Climate March—the largest of the 2,646 climate-change events held in 156 countries that day—radiate a moment of hope while the planet warmed, oceans rose, species of wildlife disappeared, the food supply shrank and we whom God made stewards of creation learned that we must act, even sacrifice, to save our planet.
We know that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air is now 42 percent above pre-Industrial Revolution levels and that human activity has warmed the planet by 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit. If this trend continues for the next 30 years, The New York Times reports, the temperature "would likely be incompatible with human civilization in its current form." If we fail to stem these rising tides, the marchers warned us, "There Is No Ark."
The Internet Wants to Be Free
"Net neutrality" does not sound like a term that would arouse much passion. Yet more than a dozen religious bodies, including the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, have issued a sharp joint letter to the Federal Communications Commission urging policymakers to keep the Internet "neutral" for the benefit of all of its users.
"We are concerned about paid prioritization and other policies that will increase costs and limit opportunities for our organizations and the communities we serve," the statement said. The letter comes as the F.C.C. considers the possibility of a "two-tiered" Internet that would allow service providers to charge companies like Netflix a premium for delivering faster service.
On the blog of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on Sept. 16, Bishop John C. Wester of Salt Lake City argued: "Instead of adopting rules that permit the wealthiest companies to purchase the best service, the F.C.C. should insist on fair treatment for everyone, no matter our income."
Bishop Wester contends that a bifurcated system would harm religious and nonprofit groups, which would be unable to pay for premium speed. This would make it more difficult for them to communicate with their members and promote their online activities. Over time large content providers would come to dominate the digital realm. Religious groups already have a difficult time conveying their message in the din of our commercialized culture. They deserve equal treatment from government regulators. A free and equal Internet should be an essential condition of our digital age.

The kitchen cupboards paint could affect the atmosphere of your kitchen. Dark palette could create elegance, luxurious, or contemporary looks.

Have you heard the news? Of course you have – it's all anyone is talking about. Electrical storms are going to wipe out the Internet – possibly forever. Unless you all send me some self-addressed, stamped envelopes this post might be my last chance to share my passions with you.
My blog is just a few months old and yet our time together is almost at an end. I want to use these last few minutes we have together to share the things I think are important in this life.
You have to get out there and build strong relationships. Spend time really getting to know your parents, spouse, children, friends, neighbors, church family, the clerk at the grocery store…you get the point. We spend way too much time parked in front of the television or the computer these days and that causes us to miss out on getting to know the people with whom we share our corner of the world. When was the last time you had a deep conversation with one of your children? I don't care how old your children are – whatever their age, they have something wonderful to tell you. You just have to listen. What about your neighbors? If you are like most of us, I'll bet you don't even know the name of the person who lives right next door to you. Change that. Start today. Bake cookies for an elderly neighbor, mow the yard for a single mom who lives on your street, or just strike up a conversation with your next door neighbor the next time you are both checking the mail.
Now…get off the computer and start working on those relationships!

Week 16 recap:
9-7 straight up
8-8 against the spread10-6 over/unders
154-84-1 straight up (64.7%)
124-106-1 against the spread (53.9%)
67-60-4 over/unders (52.7)
Here are the week 17 picks:
Panthers (11-4) @ Falcons (4-11)Actual Line: CAR by 6
Predicted Line: CAR by 7
Predicted Line: CAR by 7
Since the Panthers started out 1-3 and I questioned whether Cam Newton had a future in the NFL, they have won 10 of 11, with the only loss in New Orleans. They dominated in 6 of those games and also beat three legit playoff teams along the way. They just might be the team to beat in the NFC. In this extra-meaningful game, they'll keep Atlanta looking hapless. Panthers 27-14.
(Under 46)
Ravens (8-7) @ Bengals (10-5)
Predicted Line: CIN by 4.5
Actual Line: CIN by 7
Complete desperation for Baltimore; I gotta believe this spread is too high. Bengals 19-17.
(Under 44.5)
Texans (2-13) @ Titans (6-9)
Predicted Line: TEN by 5
Actual Line: TEN by 7.5
For the longest time, it looked inevitable that Teddy Bridgewater would be quarterbacking the Jaguars for many years to come. Now, Houston can secure the #1 pick and make sure Bridgewater does indeed play in the AFC South. Incredibly, this will be their 14th straight loss. Titans don't cover the spread though, 21-16.
(Under 44)
Jaguars (4-11) @ Colts (10-5)
Predicted Line: IND by 6.5
Actual Line: IND by 11
Whoa there. How are the Colts getting 11 points against anybody? Their defense is pathetic. Indy 28-24.
(Over 45.5)
Jets (7-8) @ Dolphins (8-7)
Predicted Line: MIA by 4
Actual Line: MIA by 6
Dolphins still have something to play for, but the Jets would love to spoil their season. I like the points in this defensive matchup. Miami 21-16. Bonus prediction: Rex Ryan does NOT get fired.
(Under 41.5)
Speaking of coaches being fired, Black Monday is nearly upon us. The list of coaches absolutely certain to be fired is quite small: Mike Shanahan. But the list of coaches with a better than 50% chance of being fired is extensive: Jim Schwartz, Greg Schiano, Leslie Frazier, Mike Munchak, whoever coaches Jacksonville and Oakland. Then there are many with a small chance of termination, including Jason Garrett, Tom Coughlin, Doug Marrone, Mike Smith, Rex Ryan, maybe even Mike Tomlin. It should be a Black Monday to remember. Heads will roll.
Lions (7-8) @ Vikings (4-10-1)
Predicted Line: DET by 2
Actual Line: MIN by 3
No AP, Matt Cassel at QB, and a stupid spread. Very tempting. Alright, fine: Lions 27-24 in Schwartz's final game.
(Under 51.5)
Assuming Gym Shorts does get fired (which might be giving the Lions' execs too much credit), who are the best fits for his replacement? Someone known for disciplined teams, such as Lovie Smith, Tom Coughlin, Ken Whisenhunt? Or someone known for developing QBs, such as Gruden, Bill O'Brien, etc.? Or, a proven college coach, like Stanford's David Shaw or A&M's Kevin Sumlin? Many, many options out there. Most likely, it'll be a successful NFL coordinator who we've never heard of, not a big name like Lovie or Gruden. We shall see.
Redskins (3-12) @ Giants (6-9)
Predicted Line: NYG by 3
Actual Line: NYG by 3.5
Shanahan's final game as a head coach, Kirk Cousins's last chance for a 2014 audition, Eli's fnale to one of the worst quarterbacking seasons ever, and an end of misery for both fan bases. With Cruz out and Cousins playing well, I am taking the Skins in an upset, 26-23.
(Over 45)
Browns (4-11) @ Steelers (7-8)
Predicted Line: PIT by 6.5
Actual Line: PIT by 7
Steelers need a win, and the Browns have been quietly tanking for a better shot at a top 5 pick. Looks like a blowout. 38-23.
(Over 44)
Sidenote: Watch out for the Browns in 2015. With a franchise QB (like Manziel or Hundley) throwing to stud Josh Gordon, and a strong defense that will include whoever they take with Indy's 1st round pick this April, that will be a playoff team. Unless of course their franchise QB is a dud.
Packers (7-7-1) @ Bears (8-7)
Predicted Line: GB by 3
Actual Line: GB by 3
Rodgers is back! Cutler sucks! Packers are in the playoffs with 8 wins. How pathetic is that. Final score: Pack 34-27.
(Over 51)
Broncos (12-3) @ Raiders (4-11)
Predicted Line: DEN by 11.5
Actual Line: DEN by 11.5
Don't know why nobody has talked about this yet, but Peyton Manning is going to break Favre's career TD record sometime in the middle of next season. He needs 21 more. He'll also break the total passing yards record if he plays two more seasons. (Needs about 6,000.) What's truly amazing is that Peyton has 117 fewer interceptions than Favre.
Also important: the Broncos need 17 points to break the '07 Pats record for points scored in a season. They've scored 150 more points that anybody else this season.
Lastly, a Broncos' victory clinches homefield throughout the playoffs. So put that all together, against a dead-duck opponent, and let's say Denver 37-13.
(Under 54)
Bills (6-9) @ Patriots (11-4)
Predicted Line: NE by 9.5
Actual Line: NE by 8
Thad Lewis is starting for the Bills again. New England is gunning for the 2 seed. I'm not overthinking this one. Pats 28-13.
(Under 46.5)
Bucs (4-11) @ Saints (10-5)
Predicted Line: NO by 12
Actual Line: NO by 12
A win clinches the playoffs. Saints won't be messing around. 37-20.
(Over 47.5)
49ers (11-4) @ Cardinals (10-5)
Predicted Line: SF by 6
Actual Line: SF by 1
Great defensive matchup. The key: one of these quarterbacks is Carson Palmer. Niners 16-13.
(Under 42)
Chiefs (11-4) @ Chargers (8-7)
Predicted Line: KC by 3 *Oops*
Actual Line: SD by 9
The "Nothing to Play for Chiefs" should roll out plenty of backups and treat this like a preseason game. Rivers will pick apart the backup defense, and the Chiefs' offense will do nothing without Charles. Chargers cover with a couple late scores, 31-20.
(Over 45)
Rams (7-8) @ Seahawks (12-3)
Predicted Line: SEA by 12.5
Actual Line: SEA by 12.5
Rams defense is too good for me to take this many points. Plus, Zac Stacy can move the chains. Seahawks 24-17.
(Under 42.5)
Eagles (9-6) @ Cowboys (8-7)
Predicted Line: PHI by 7
Actual Line: PHI by 7
I invented a game called The Romo Game this week. It works like this: you turn on sports radio, look at the clock, and see how many minutes go by until you hear the word "Romo." On average, it's about 30 seconds. Often, it's less than 2 seconds. With all the stories going on right now (Peyton smashing records, Rodgers coming back, 7 marquee quarterbacks going to the playoffs, etc) the only story worthy of The Talking Heads is Romo's injury. Seriously? The real story should be Kyle Orton. Heck, the real story of this game is Nick Foles. 25 TDs and 2 interceptions! That dude is incredible. The only way this game is close is if DeMarco Murray gets 25+ carries. But he won't. Cowboys are too stupid. Philly 31-17.
(Under 53)
Go Lions?

Nearly four years ago, after the NFL's mishandling of Ray Rice's domestic abuse suspension became front-page news, Commissioner Roger Goodell vowed that the league would "get our house in order" when it came to future incidents of domestic violence and sexual assault.
But once again, we've been reminded that not much has changed at all; when it comes to violence against women, the league's proverbial house is still in disrepair.
Last week, the Detroit News reported that Matt Patricia, the new head coach of the Detroit Lions, was indicted on sexual assault charges in 1996.
The charges were dropped after the victim declined to testify due to the "stress of trial." In the eyes of the law, Patricia is innocent. And it's important to emphasize that Patricia shouldn't necessarily lose his job or be branded a pariah by the league just because this allegation surfaced.
Nevertheless, there are a few things about this revelation — and the subsequent handling of it by the Lions — that are downright disturbing.
For instance, why didn't any of the NFL teams that employed Patricia for the last 20 years find out about this indictment on their own? Why did the Lions feel comfortable firmly asserting Patricia's innocence so soon after they were notified of the incident? And why did they get basic facts of the case incorrect when doing so?
Here's what we know: In 1996, Patricia and a college friend, Greg Dietrich, met a 21-year-old female student at the beach while on spring break in South Padre Island, Texas. At the time, Patricia and Dietrich were football players and fraternity brothers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in upstate New York.
The woman told police that, on the evening of March 15, 1996, Patricia and Dietrich burst into her hotel room while she was sleeping and, according to court records and news reports from the time, took turns violently sexually assaulting her. She went to the hospital for an exam after the incident, and the police were provided with medical evidence. The following January, a grand jury indicted Patricia and Dietrich on one charge of aggravated assault, but the trial never happened because the alleged victim stopped cooperating, saying she couldn't take the stress.
However, we also know that the prosecution's witness list included a nurse, a doctor, a police detective, a police officer, and a college friend of the alleged victim, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Most of this information was easily discovered by reporters in public databases, which certainly calls into question why the New England Patriots — Patricia's former employer — and the Lions were both reportedly blindsided by the news last week. Given how NFL front offices have been known to inquire about the sexual orientation, parental occupations, and national anthem stance of players when entering into contract talks, an indictment for aggravated sexual assault seems like something they should have stumbled across.
Unless, of course, they weren't looking for it, and the Lions clearly weren't before they decided to hand Patricia the keys to their clubhouse. Of course, even if they had found this information, it's unlikely anything would have changed, based on how they reacted to the report by the Detroit News.
When approached by The Detroit News, team president Rod Wood initially said "I don't know anything about this" — but hours later said his review of the situation only reinforced the team's decision to hire Patricia.
"I am very comfortable with the process of interviewing and employing Matt," Wood said. "I will tell you with 1,000-percent certainty that everything I've learned confirmed what I already knew about the man and would have no way changed our decision to make him our head coach."
Wood also said the woman recanted the sexual assault allegations multiple times — a claim not substantiated by existing records or lawyers for Patricia and his fraternity brother.
That's right — just hours after first hearing about these sexual assault allegations, the Lions felt comfortable saying with "1,000-percent certainty" that they made the right decision hiring Patricia, and claiming the woman recanted the allegation, despite no corroboration of that fact.
Soon after the Detroit News story published, the Lions released a statement saying that, among other things, "Matt was 21 at the time and on spring break in Texas," and that they "believe and have accepted Coach Patricia's explanation and we will continue to support him." The Lions say they came to this conclusion after speaking to Patricia and the attorney who represented him "at great length" — even though they were allegedly unaware of the allegations until the report surfaced.
Let's get a few things straight: Being a 21-year-old male on spring break is not an excuse to rape someone; the fact that the alleged sexual assault occurred 22 years ago is not an excuse to dismiss it as unimportant; and the fact that the victim did not want to cooperate with a trial for very legitimate reasons does not mean she was lying or that she "recanted the sexual assault allegations multiple times." Plus, Patricia set the Lions up for failure by not disclosing such an easily-discoverable case during the job search.
In cases like these, people are usually afraid to jump to conclusions. However, that is a two-way street. A woman reported Patricia for sexual assault the night it occurred; she went to the hospital afterwards, which is not a pleasant or easy experience; a grand jury determined there was sufficient evidence to indict Patricia. What few facts of this case we do know suggests that it deserves more than a knee-jerk denial. In other words, there's a middle ground between instinctively kicking Patricia out the door and quadrupling down on your unwavering support of him before properly investigating the matter.
Patricia, for his part, has steadfastly proclaimed his innocence, without providing any specific details to back up his claim.
"Again, I did nothing wrong, and that's all I'm going to say on that matter," he told reporters. If the NFL really wants to prove it takes violence against women seriously, that shouldn't be good enough.

How To Write A Leave Letter
A Leave letter is a letter written by professionals or students at a school or college, to explain the cause for them being on leave. It is also written in cases where the writer wants to inform the concerned authorities and ask for permission to be exempted from their duties for a particular period. If the letter is written by a student, he/she must explain with a valid reason why he/she could not attend the class.
A leave letter is very formal in nature and is an official letter that could act as proof of the writer's absence from class/work. Writing a leave letter is a good way to express how sincere you are towards your work/studies and proves to the authorities that you are efficient and responsible. The following is a leave letter written to a teacher by a school student who was on leave for three days. The reason for leave is mentioned very clearly.
Sample Letter
The following is a sample letter for Leave Letter.
Ana Locke,
45 Lincoln Street,
North Park,
New York.
Miranda Priestley,
North Park High School,
North Park,
New York
Subject: Leave Letter
Dear Ms.Priestley,
I, Ana Locke, was on leave from school for five days starting on the DD/MM/YYYY to till the DD/MM/YYYY. I was absent in class due to my illness. Right from my childhood, I have been allergic to various things like dust, peanuts, etc. Many times, I have fallen ill due to my allergies. But this time, it was much worse.
On the weekend before, I went on a camping trip with my family. Since my allergies had not caused much trouble lately, the tour included activities like hiking, trekking, etc. However, once we went hiking, the trouble began. The route we chose was very dusty, and as a result, my allergies started acting up. We returned to our camp, packed and left for our home as soon as we could. I was taken to a doctor and was given a shot.
However, that evening, I came down with high fever. On visiting the doctor, I was informed that my dust allergy was the reason behind the fever. I was instructed to take some medicines and stay in bed for three days. Hence, I was on leave.
I have already taken down all the notes I missed, and I promise you that
Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
Anna Locke

Handwriting recognition is vital at least so long as the individuals write on papers or digital surfaces. In a comprehensive survey, Plamondon and Srihari reviewed many of online and offline approaches in handwriting recognition(Plamondon & Srihari, 2000).
Vinciarelli and Perrone proposed a combined method for recognition of online handwriting(Vinciarelli & Perrone, 2003). In their approach, first the online handwriting is recognized by an online system. Then, it is converted to a bitmap image and is recognized by an offline recognizer. By combining both results, the ultimate recognition becomes available which is more reliable than each individual result.
Trajectory recovery is an approach of extracting the chronology of writing of segments in order to enhance the reliability of offline handwriting recognition. An up-to-date review of trajectory extraction of offline handwriting approaches including analysis of different input types (skeleton or contour), end point detection, and trajectory recovery is presented by Nguyen and Blumenstein(Nguyen & Blumenstein, 2010). Nel uses Hidden Markov Models to estimate the trajectory of handwritten image(Nel, 2005). HMM is a probabilistic model which describes the dynamic transition between states. Her numerical results show that the method is both accurate and robust.

Halloween is one of the most fun parts about being a kid. And frankly, if you're an adult who is a kid at heart, its still a pretty great day!
But if you're the parent of a child with food allergies, Halloween can feel a lot more trick than treat. My son, Jack, has life-threatening food allergies to dairy, egg and all nuts. Bluntly translated this means that most Halloween candy can kill him.
We discovered his allergies when he was just 15-weeks old, had his first sip of formula and went into anaphylaxis shock. So he's never known anything different, and we've never known anything different.
While I don't want to speak for him and won't provide any perspective on what its like to celebrate Halloween when you have a food allergy, I can tell you what its like as a mom of a child with food allergies. I can also tell you how I started doing something last year to make the holiday even more fun for both me, and my son.
For eight Halloweens we had been doing all of the things that every parent of a child with food allergies has learned to do. We have a trade-in policy and exchange the candy that Jack collects for a toy or treat that is safe for him. When he was younger we carefully monitored which candy he accepted when trick-or-treating. We carry not just one, but five epi-pens with us that day and have drilled into the kids that they are absolutely not allowed to eat any of their loot until we inspect it at home. Our neighbors are sweet and will ask if they can provide candy that is safe for Jack.
But even so, it's a tough one when your child has food allergies. And that's too bad, because it's a great day! What's so wonderful is that Halloween is about more than just the candy collected during trick-or-treating. It's about community and fun and everyone coming together on a day of silliness to celebrate fantasy, spookiness and friendship.
Here in Chicago, we all hunker down over winter and this is often the last time we'll see our neighbors out and about for many months. So we do Halloween really big. In our community, like many of yours, Halloween is about the costumes and candy, but also the celebrations and the neighborhood gatherings. While kids trick-or-treat the adults follow along with red solo cups full of cheer. People host parties stocked with pizza, cookies, candy and other things that my son can't eat and are very dangerous for him to be around.
And sometimes that's a bit tough because I always envisioned that our house would be the one on the block with the big family parties and the place where all of my children and their friends would want to hang out. Not only is that fun, but I also I recognize the value in having a house where kids want to be as they get older because you can keep an eye on them, without them realizing you're doing so. I remember how much I loved being at my friend's house when I was a teenager because her family was friendly and the kitchen was always stocked with homemade cookies. But now that I'm the parent, I think I kind of shy away from those situations because the whole food thing is so tricky. And I can sense that Jack isn't always included in other social situations that involve food like lunch bunches or restaurant meals because it makes the other parents nervous. And to be honest, it makes me nervous too. But that's ok because Jack doesn't seem to mind.
In fact, he has never complained about Halloween or any other food-focused holiday. He loves the version that he gets. And as his mother, I want to keep it that way. Whenever someone comments about how hard the allergies must be, we always reply with "yes, but its manageable." And that's true. As long as we manage certain situations, Jack is safe.
He understands that Halloween has its limits from a safety perspective. But from an emotional and goal setting perspective, I never want my son to think of his food allergies as limiting. There's a real difference in tone between words like hard vs. challenging, sucks vs. tough, and limiting vs. manageable.
So with that in mind, last year I decided to stop feeling mopey about the dangers of Halloween parties, and instead dress myself up in a costume that would be a party-on-the-go complete with food that is safe for my son.
As our family got ready to trick-or-treat with others, I put on a hat from Jack's beloved Cubs, sneakers, a fleece and carried a cardboard box full of individually wrapped hot dogs self-steaming in foil (thirty-two of them to be exact). I had stadium mustard and Giardiniera, but no ketchup (this is Chicago, after all!) and kept calling out, "get your red hots, here!" I was a Wrigley Field vendor. You know the kind that walk the stands and sell right from their tray?
Jack and his friends loved it and kept coming back for another hot dog as we moved from house to house over several blocks. I heard them saying "Jack's mom has the best hot dogs!" and it made me feel good that they could associate Jack with a regular food that they love too, instead of the conversation always being about what Jack can't have.
It was a hit with our fellow adults too because every good Wrigley vendor also has to have Old Style beer with them.
I loved it because it showed the kids that their mom can be goofy and enjoy the day just as much as they do. It let them know that I'm in this whole thing with them..its not just their holiday, its our holiday. I recognize that a day that is supposed to be unabashedly over-the-top fun does have its limitations for him, and for us. But this was my little way of showing Jack that I have his back. The limitations are all things that we can manage and I'll always be there, finding creative ways to help him enjoy himself in safe ways.
As he gets older I know he won't want his mom around all of the time. At some point it won't be cool to have your mom trailing after you, even if she's handing out free hot dogs. I can't always be hovering, and helicoptering as much as I'd like to. And I need to trust that he will make safe decisions when it comes to his food allergies.
Plus after a few years, these costumes that allow me to travel with food will probably move from the creative camp to the weird camp. But for now, he's enjoying it, my neighbors are enjoying it and I'm enjoying it.
Aside from keeping our bellies warm and full of good cheer while trick-or-treating, hopefully the Wrigley vendor costume, and others that follow, will be a reminder to Jack of how to approach food allergies with a can do attitude, instead of a can't do attitude. Sure food allergies can be very tricky, but with or without allergies, Halloween should be a treat!

At last, the trip that had been planned since last year went through. At exactly 1:30 pm on a Holy Thursday we were on our way to San Juan, Batangas to visit my Ninong and of course, to enjoy the beach. Seated on our rented van I was concentrating because I was fighting my car sickness. In which I did not do good. I am used to it – throwing up; I had my first since I was a kid. This does not stop me from enjoying the trip, in fact, had experienced many firsts.

Chasing Sunrise
Sunrise for me symbolizes hope and a new beginning. It rejuvenates my soul. When its rays burst through the clouds, then to the trees, and unto my skin somehow I knew I am alive. I am alive along with my dreams, aspirations, and beauty. I can feel the heat. I'd sweat yes but still like all other goodness Mother Nature has I am in awe of its effect. Not only that, if we are looking, creatively above the high lands of a city minus the electric wires and messy roof we can witness something special unfolding.

Perfusion pressure
The link between blood flow and glaucoma remains controversial
There is a broad accumulation of data from epidemiological studies suggesting that reduced ocular perfusion pressure is associated with an increased risk of glaucoma and glaucoma progression, said Leopold Schmetterer PhD, Singapore Eye Research Institute, Singapore.
However, the degree of association between the two conditions is still in question and complex, he told the 8th World Glaucoma Congress.
Dr Schmetterer noted that ocular perfusion pressure is generally calculated by subtracting intraocular pressure, as a proxy for venous pressure, from brachial arterial blood pressure, as a proxy for ocular arterial blood pressure.
The same type of calculation also provides an estimation of the systolic and diastolic ocular perfusion pressure.
"There are many limitations to the way we calculate ocular perfusion pressure, and generally its relationship to ocular blood flow is relatively unclear," Dr Schmetterer cautioned.
Most of the prevalence studies regarding glaucoma suggest that low ocular perfusion increases the risk of having the disease.
Those studies include the Baltimore Eye Study, the Blue Mountain Eye study, the Singapore Malay Eye Study and the Los Angeles Latino Eye Study. One exception is the Beijing Eye study, which showed no link between the two conditions.
Regarding incidence, Dr Schmetterer noted that the Barbados Eye Study showed a clear relationship between the nine-year incidence of glaucoma and low ocular perfusion pressure at baseline.
In the Rotterdam Eye study, the relationship was less pronounced and only reached significance among participants receiving antihypertensive medication. In the Thessaloniki Eye study, low diastolic ocular perfusion pressure resulting from antihypertensive treatment was associated with increased cupping and a decreased optic disc rim area, even in eyes without glaucoma.
In the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial (EMGT), patients with low systolic ocular perfusion pressure (<125 mmHg) had a 1.39- and 1.42-fold higher risk of progression over the entire period of the trial, in a univariate and a multivariate analysis, respectively (p=0.038). Fluctuation of ocular perfusion pressure also appears to influence the risk of progression. In a retrospective study carried out in Korea, a 1.0mmHg increase in ocular perfusion pressure fluctuation was associated with 27.2% greater chance of glaucoma progression.
Dr Schmetterer noted that the data are not unequivocal. A meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology indicates that both high and low blood pressure are associated with increased risk of open-angle glaucoma (Zhao et al, AJO 2014, 158:615-627).
"If you pool together all the studies there is a relatively clear indication that both very low and very high blood pressure or perfusion pressure is associated with the disease," he added.

There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week.
This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports the percentage of times local representatives voted with their party's leadership in 2017 through August 25.
The votes of the 2017 membership of 34 Republicans were compared with those of GOP House Minority Leader Bradley Jones (R-North Reading). The votes of the 2017 membership of 122 Democrats were compared to House Speaker Robert DeLeo (D-Winthrop). Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 72 votes from the 2017 House session as the basis for this report. This includes all roll calls that were not quorum calls or on local issues.
A total of 78 of the 123 Democrats voted with DeLeo 100 percent of the time. That means nearly two-thirds of the Democrats always voted with DeLeo.
The Democratic representatives who voted the lowest percentage of times with DeLeo are Reps. Colleen Garry (D-Dracut) who voted with DeLeo only 62.3 percent of the time and Jonathan Zlotnik (D-Gardner) who voted with DeLeo only 68.1 percent of the time.
Only four of the 34 GOP members voted with Jones 100 percent of the time. That means only 11.8 percent of the Republicans always voted with Jones. The GOP representatives who voted with Jones the lowest percentage of times are Reps. Susannah Whipps (Independent-Athol) who voted with Jones only 79.2 percent of the time and Jim Lyons (R-Andover) who voted with Jones only 85.9 percent of the time.
REPRESENTATIVES' PERCENTAGE OF VOTES SUPPORTING THEIR PARTY'S LEADER IN 2017 -- The percentage next to the representative's name represents the percentage of times the representative supported his or her party's leader.
The number in parentheses represents the number of times the representative opposed his or her party's leader.
Some representatives voted on all 72 roll call votes. Others missed one or more of the 72 votes. The percentage for each representative is calculated based on the number of roll calls on which he or she voted and does not count the roll calls for which he or she was absent.
Rep. James Arciero 100 percent (0)
Rep. Cory Atkins 100 percent (0)
Rep. Jennifer Benson 100 percent (0)
Rep. Colleen Garry 62.3 percent (26)
Rep. Thomas Golden 98.6 percent (1)
Rep. Kenneth Gordon 100 percent (0)
Rep. Sheila Harrington 97.2 percent (2)
Rep. Marc Lombardo 89.1 percent (6)
Rep. James Lyons 85.9 percent (10)
Rep. James Miceli 100 percent (0)
Rep. Rady Mom 100 percent (0)
Rep. David Nangle 98.6 percent (1)
Also on Beacon Hill
RENAME YAWKEY COMMUTER RAIL STATION (H 3887) -- A late-filed bill before the Transportation Committee would create a special commission to study and make recommendations to the MBTA about changing the name of the Yawkey commuter rail station on the Worcester-Framingham line to a name that is "consistent with and reflects the values of the commonwealth."
HOME LOANS FOR FIRST RESPONDERS (S 733) -- The Housing Committee held a hearing on a bill that would create a special home loan program for first responders, including police officers, firefighters and EMTs, who are working for a city or town that requires them to live within a short distance of the city or town.
$2,500 FOR FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS (S 751) -- Also on the Housing Committee's agenda was legislation that would create a program that would help first-time homebuyers by providing up to $2,500 to pay closing costs.
The measure also allows consumers to contribute up to $4,000 to a first-time home-buying account. The money would be tax-free when deposited and when taken out of the account as long as it goes toward the purchase of a home.
CONSUMER COMMITTEE HEARING -- The Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure will hold a hearing on September 12 at 1 p.m. in Room A1 at the Statehouse. Several bills are on the agenda including:
IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION (S 111) -- Provides immunity from prosecution for persons under age 21 who seek medical assistance for an alcohol-related overdose, if the evidence for the charge of possession of alcohol was gained solely as a result of the person seeking medical assistance.
BARS AND RESTAURANTS MUST PROVIDE FREE WATER (H 3468) -- Requires restaurants and bars that serve alcohol to provide customers with free tap water when requested.
ALLOW CITIES AND TOWNS TO CONTROL LIQUOR LICENSES (H 189) -- Gives cities and towns the authority to decide how many liquor licenses are granted in their community. Current law determines the number of licenses that can be granted based on the population of the city or town. To obtain any additional licenses, cities and towns are required to have the request approved by the Legislature.
Supporters argue that local communities, not the state, should have the power to decide how many liquor licenses are granted.
The bill's sponsor Rep. Joseph McKenna (D-Webster) says that almost all the requests to the Legislature are approved with no opposition, but notes the process can take months and require political conne
How long was last week's session?
During the week of August 21-25, the House met for a total of 40 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 46 minutes.

Mexico City
How To Walk in Zocalo With Mexican History
icon-bullseye Mexican Adventure / Part.3
icon-bookmark Historic Mexico!
I will write about the interesting history of Mexico (shortly), and useful information of sightseeing around Zocalo in Mexico City. When we know the history of places where we go, our travel will be much more interesting and deeper..!
Mexico has a very very interesting long history and a lot of stories for over 2 million years. It's too many stories, I cannot write the all here. Also scientists still cannot reveal the all history clearly. There are still many mysteries..! (That's why people feel romantic tho) 😀
~ I've been still in the same hostel in Mexico City. When I came to Mexico I really did not know anything about Mexico, but step by step I got some places that I want to go in Mexico.
A Short History Of Mexico / Conquer & Be Conquered
skulls 2
icon-book Mexican History
The short summary is like this;
Long time ago,, (about 2 million years ago) There were many groups of native people with different culture & civilizations. The each groups developed their civilization highly and had trade each other. The skills of agriculture, architecture, astronomy and so on were very developed as the ages, but of course they were "human", they had fight and conquer a lot.
However suddenly the situation has changed totally.
Spanish people came into Mexico (1519). It's interesting and tragedy. At the time, the native religion's bible mentioned "one day, one of the god which has "white face" will be appeared", so they welcomed Spanish people as they believed their god.
BUT actually Spanish people were not god for them, they conquered the all native people just for 2 years..! The big reason was Spanish brought accidentally a few kinds of "disease" that killed native people a lot. Also Spanish had more developed weapons. For native people since the day everything has changed.
For A Heart
The land was started to be called "Mexico" as new big Spanish colony. Before the Spanish happen there were 2500 million of native people, but it reduced to 100 million in a few years..! Spanish broke down the native cultures, religions, architectures,,, well everything. Then brought & built Spanish things on it, on the land. Actually Spanish did the same thing to almost all South America area. As you know now the people speak Spanish there. (The human history is always horrible indeed…)
In 1810, the "Mexican" people stood and fought against Spanish. And then they made independent from the horrible situation. Nowadays, there is cool country Mexico. (it has still a lot of problems tho).

In the area of Zocalo in Mexico City, you can see Spanish style architectures & roads. The colorful and beautiful architectures make people feel like in Europe. Here is not only just beautiful place, but also there is a lot of historic stories behind. If you know the history little bit, and came this place you are gonna feel something special….
Used be
icon-bolt Mexica City was born as the colonial city.
The area of Mexico City was the capital "water city" of native people like Venice. But Spanish broke down all to pisces, and filled stuffs into the water and built their Spanish roads, buildings and churches, so the native cultures & things are buried deeply…
The native things are still sleeping under the ground. Area of Zocalo, there are still a lot of native things under the Spanish architectures. People have been still digging the ground to collect the lost cultures and history.
Under The Ground
When you visit to Zocalo, in front of you there are huge beautiful Spanish architectures, but you will also see some glasses on the ground. That will show you the buried native things under the ground.
The Church
I knew some of the history of Mexico and Mexico City before I came this place. When I came here and saw the native things under the beautiful Spanish architectures, I felt something strong.
A Little Blonde Guy
In inside of the church, there were beautiful architecture art and many Mexican people who were praying. I was wondering and thinking of the people. The praying people's ancestors were praying for the other god in the past, but since the day Spanish conquered this land the native people needed to pray for Spanish religion (Christ)… Now the all Mexican people in the church were praying eagerly.
"To conquer" is much bigger than what I imagined. It takes people's "everything" including religion & belief.
A Car For Garbage 1
Out of the church, the strong Mexican sunlight made me very thirsty. Water that's what I needed most at the moment.
A Car For Garbage 2
Templo Mayor
Museum / The Dug Up Native Things
Circle Lady
icon-camera-retro Templo Mayor
The museum is good for knowing and feeling Mexican history. You can see the dug up native things from the ground in this museum. To see the sight of real native things with Spanish architecture is one of the coolest things to do in Mexico City.
Dug Up 1
You can walk around the dug up big native remains.
You need to leave your water bottle at the entrance, so take some hydration before you start to historic walk. When it's sunny in Mexico the sunlight is super strong.
Dug Up 2
In the remains walking road, you will see a museum which has dug up native things.
There are much exhibitions to see. In inside is much cooler as temperature than outside, take your time and have fun to see & feel the cool things.
Native Art
A Huge Guy
After Words
icon-book Human history is always horrible but is very interesting
I felt something much stronger here than Teotihuacan remains in my heart. The reason why was I could imagine the history easier. Also the contrast of Spanish beautiful architecture and native things under the ground was super interesting for me.
Whenever, wherever people always fight each other, and they do not stop. cannot stop. That's the human being. I was hoping to know something important for human and as for my life through Mexican traveling.

Auckland swimmer Lauren Boyle bounced back from last nights disappointment to win the womens 400m freestyle gold medal tonight.
And, making the last evening of the swimming even more special, para-swimmer Sophie Pascoe picked up her second gold medal when she easily won the womens 200m individual medley.
Boyle, the fastest qualifier, lagged behind for 150 metres, but once she made her move, she was very impressive.
By 200 metres she was in front and she pulled away remorselessly. Her time, 4min 04.47s, was a Games record. As a bonus, Boyle pushed into second place Jazz Carlin, the Welsh woman who pipped her for the 800m freestyle gold medal last night. Carlin finished in 4min 05.16s.
Boyles winning time was about half a second slower than she swam when winning a bronze medal in the same event at last years world championships.
Pascoe, a Paralympics hero in 2008 and 2012, was far too good for the rest of the five-woman field and won in 2min 27.74s, giving her a margin of more than four seconds over second place.Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games Lauren Boyle Sophie Pascoe Swimming

Modern Family's Sofia Vergara has been announced as this year's highest-paid TV star by Forbes magazine.
She's now been number 1 in the TV actresses list since 2012 - that's five years in a row.
Vergara is said to have brought in $43 million this year, which is not only enough to buy The Great British Bake Off and a nice mansion, but is $18.5 million more than the second highest-paid actress - The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco.
In fact, Cuoco earned $4 million dollars less this year than she did last year, while Vergara earned $14.5 million dollars more!
The Modern Family actress isn't just trampling her female contemporaries in the money stakes, either.
Cuoco's The Big Bang Theory co-stars Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki - who topped last year's male actors list - are paid the same amount as Cuoco, meaning Vergara is way ahead of them. Forbes hasn't yet revealed this year's Highest-Paid TV Actors, but has confirmed Vergara beat all of them.
Cuoco, Parsons and Galecki are probably feeling the same way about Vergara as Melissa Rauch and Mayim Bialik (Bernadette and Amy, respectively) feel about them - Rauch and Bialik earn just *ten percent* of the main Big Bang trio.
Here is the top ten in full, with comparisons to last year's earnings (the actresses without comparisons are new to the rankings this year):
- Sofia Vergara: $43,000,000 (2015 earnings: $28,500,000)
- Kaley Cuoco: $24,500,000 (2015 earnings: $28,500,000)
- Mindy Kaling: $15,000,000 (2015 earnings: $9,000,000)
- Mariska Hargitay: $14,500,000 (2015 earnings: $11,000,000)
- Ellen Pompeo: $14,500,000 (2015 earnings: $11,500,000)
- Kerry Washington: $13,500,000 (2015 earnings: $7,000,000
- Stana Katic: $12,000,000
- Priyanka Chopra: $11,000,000
- Julianna Margulies: $10,500,000 (2015 earnings: $10,500,000)
- Julie Bowen: $10,000,000 (2015 earnings: $12,000,000)
Think any of them will lend us a tenner?

Today has seen the announcement by Aston Martin that it may be considering selling a minimum of 25 per cent of its shares on the London Stock Exchange. The luxury car manufacturer is synonymous with James Bond, with the DB5 being the first model to be driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger and with the same model being brought out of retirement by Daniel Craig in Skyfall in 2012.
The company has had a colourful ownership since its inception in 1913, having changed hands between a number of private owners, both British and American, with Ford taking a shareholding in 1987, before fully acquiring the company in 1991. Ford retained control of Aston Martin until 2007, when a consortium, consisting of David Richards, John Sinders and two Kuwaiti investment companies acquired the business for GBP 439 million. In 2013, 37.5 per cent was sold to Investindustrial, an Italian private equity fund, which (fortunately some might think) out bid Mahindra and Mahindra, the Indian multinational conglomerate that includes tractor manufacturers in its portfolio of companies. Aston Martin benefited from the additional funds provided by Investindustrial in terms of investment and research into new vehicles, which have helped re-establish the brand's popularity with a broader purchaser base and helped launch new models.
There have been rumours of an IPO before by Aston Martin back to 2015; however, at that point it was purely speculation in the media, whereas this time the company has formally announced it is expecting to publish a registration document imminently. So this time it looks like the IPO might actually speed on ahead.

Holy Jesus did broadcast tee vee ever screw the pooch on this one.
Like a millions of others, I went to bed last thinking that 12 cold, tired and dirty men would soon be walking out of a mine in West Virginia. I thought that because I made the very naive mistake of believing what I saw on tee vee. I was watching MSNBC about 11:30 CST when they broke into an interview for a live update reporting that the 12 remaining miners had somehow survived their ordeal. I clicked around and saw that CNN, Fox and all the other usual suspects were barking the exact same tune. There was no couching, no hedging, no 'unconfirmed reports indicate that . . . ,' no nothing; just big graphics - 12 trapped miners would be going home any time now.
Well, what a difference the truth makes. This morning, obviously, there is a different reality for tee vee to cope with, but instead of acknowledging their role in spreading misinformation globally, they were spinning an whole new yard that consisted of 51% flinger pointing, 49% who else got it wrong, and 100% CYA. Nowhere did any of these amateur, cowardly, entertainment-driven frauds suggest any of them jumped the gun. In tee vee's orgasmic rush to be first, no one, as usual bothered to be right. Don't let tools like Bill Hemmer, Geraldo Rivera and Rita Cosby lead you downthe path of 'it just spread like wildfire.' It was Big Media that ran the misinformation out there, bounced it off satellites, and now won't even come back with an Elimy Litella-like "never mind."
Tee vee news sucks, folks, and I couldn't paint you a more illustrative picture even with a fictitious news story. Unfortunatley, we have to be reminded of Big Media's failures during an all-too-real tragedy.

Let me start by telling you that my face felt amazing last night and even better this morning. I'm feeling a little oily now, but that's partially because like I mentioned I'm out of toner and prone to be an grease monkey.
I'm free of work for another 4 days!!
I've got an appointment to have my hair done tomorrow, thank goodness because my roots are getting a little out of control. Let me tell you that having bleach blonde hair when you're naturally a brunette is the pits when your roots grow out. I just washed my hair last night and my roots look super greasy just because of the contrast in color. I was planning on having purple put throughout, but now I think I'm just going to have her do the regular lightening all over and then I'll come home and dye it purple myself.
I'm cooking dinner for myself, my brother just left, which means I get to have all the bacon wrapped jalapeños to myself! That's right, I said bacon wrapped jalapeños. If I could just eat them everyday I would, but of course that would be detrimental to my health, so I have them at least once a month. I'm also making fish and potatoes.
Doesn't it look so yummy? I promise it was ridiculously delicious. The dogs are trying to make me feel guilty for not sharing, but I feel no guilt today. Ok, maybe just a little bit. There little faces are just so cute. 😦
Tomorrow morning I'll be distressing my stool and table, waxing, and staining the top. Hopefully we'll finish everything before it gets too late and I'll be able to get some good photos. Last night I had the insane thought of asking a friend of my brother's, she's a model, to follow me out and take some really cool and fun photos with my table, but that seems a little strange. Right? Eh.
Once the table is done we will move on to the dresser that were transforming into a TV stand. I was contemplating doing another ombre thing, but with a turquoise or minty color. I think it would look really cool on both the dresser and movie shelf.
Now that dinner is done, I'm going to go into a food coma for a bit with a face mask on. I'm sure the dogs won't want to cuddle with me, but I'm going to make them. Haha.
Busy days ahead friends.
Caloric intake: 2,156
Until tomorrow, stay wonderfully wild!

to Reign in Hell Than Serve in Heaven
After an amazing 10 years in the dark music game, Jonathan Sharp puts out some of the most seethingly wicked EBM with his current project, Bio-Tek. A mixture of vicious occult twists and turns amid pounding bass and heavenly keyboards. With the advent of his new album soon to be released, and the European issue of Punishment for Decadence soon out to sweep the rest of the EBM world by force, I found it irresistible to converse with this mastermind of the mix and what he has in store for the world.
SL: You as a musician right now have so much variety on your plate (New Mind, Bio-Tek, Hexedene, Gunhed, Psionic, Hyperdex-1-Sect, Lashtal, Tryophex 14, Zodiac and Takshaka). What is your major motivation and why so many projects to cover this inspiration?
JS: I have to say a lot of those projects have fallen by the wayside and my efforts are concentrated in a rather more focused manner these days. In the past I had so many fragmented ideas I needed to get out; now things are a little more focused, or maybe I should say Ive become more disciplined.
SL: Your sense of humour really abounds amid the seething undertones of your work with Bio-Tek, firstly with the Pure Morning cover on Punishment , and now with your send-up of VNV, Vengeance Not Victory. It seemed you did more here to mimic the style and then morph it into a Bio-Tek song. Loved it! But why?
JS: Youre honestly one of the few people to see the underlying humour!! EBM tends to have a real humour bypass, while I have a pretty black sense of humour. In regards to the Vengeance Not Victory track, it is a play on the whole VNV things. In fact, I see the whole Bio-Tek project as the complete antithesis to what VNV stands for. This all comes from a conversation I had with Ronan sometime back when he told me VNV stood against all the negativity and what he called death culture that is a big part of the whole EBM/industrial movement. Well, frankly, thats the whole driving force behind Bio-Tek; releasing an album with a title like Darkness My Name Is ought to illustrate that! The world occult in its truest meaning is: that which is hidden. Thats everything that Bio-Tek celebrates, the darkest, the hidden, even the forbidden part of the human psyche. So basically everything about the VNV track is a complete inversion of what VNV Nation is all about better to reign in hell that serve in heaven as the quote goes.
SL: So am I to take it that, through this whole difference in philosophy that you and Ronan still speak? That is to say, this isnt some blatant deep-seeded hatred, but a gentle jab in the ribs? Or just the opposite?
JS: No, its not some vindictive swipe at Ronan at all. Ill be interested though to see what sort of response this track gets when the album is released.
SL: So whats the schedule for this project taking you? So you see this taking precedent, especially after the new licensing of Punishment overseas, and the new album release pending?
JS: In terms of release and also in terms of work its pretty much my main concern right now. Particularly as the next album is scheduled for a joint USA/Europe release later this year. I still have some writing and recording to complete for this. Im delighted though to have a European license again for the project; its really the home of EBM I guess. But I do have other releases on schedule for this year; there will be another New Mind album, a kind of retrospective of unreleased and new tracks. Also the Takshaka album is nearing completion too, but thats become extremely experimental, and I see it appealing more to the IDM crowd than my usual audience.
SL: Ive heard some of the mixes for the new Bio-Tek. Do you intend to take this album in a different direction and how?
think its just the inevitable natural progression you make as an artist.
The EBM-oriented tracks are much more developed; theres also more emphasis
on being club-friendly, based on the fact Ive been doing some DJing myself.
And the orchestral side is also more pronounced, mainly because Ive become
stronger at arranging, I think. Theres also going to be a cover
version included too, but its a radical take on an old 80s metal track!

Last Wednesday, in the middle of a really busy and crazy week, I had just come back from grocery shopping and was feeling a little low, maybe it was the constant grey skies or maybe my to do list that keeps getting longer and longer. When I came home there was a package on my front porch, I wasn't expecting anything, but when I picked up the parcel and felt the weight and shape of it I knew immediately what it was and who it was from. My heart felt so joyful and happy, tears came to my eyes knowing that someone would think of me. My lovely blogging friend Caroline from The Simple Things had been making use of the many horse shoes she had lying around her place and I just so happened to admire her creations. So she sent me an early Christmas present. I'm afraid I couldn't wait to open this one, I was too excited, just like a crazy kid hyped up on chocolate opening presents on Christmas Day (and I hadn't even gotten the groceries out of the car yet), I ripped it open and started taking photo's of my beautiful new boot pull.
Caroline we love your boot pull. It has been used every day, especially by the boys, they really love it too! School shoes, sand shoes, boots, you name it, the horseshoes are pulling them all off our feet. Thank you so much my blogging friend.

SB 406 to be heard April 24 in the House
Posted over 5 years ago by Shelagh Larson
Great news - SB 406 has been scheduled for a public hearing on Wednesday (04/24) in the House Committee on Public Health. SB 406 is the "agreed-to" bill between nursing and medicine on delegated prescriptive authority. There are now less than 40 days left in the regular session, which places a lot of stress on members to get their bills heard and passed.

MINNEAPOLIS (CBS.MW) -- Best Buy Cos. Inc. did what few retailers have been able to do in a very long time: Beat quarterly profit expectations. And its shares behaved accordingly in early trading Tuesday, giving the electronics retailer star status amid another technology-related wreck.
Best Buy reported a record fourth-quarter profit of 89 cents a share, well ahead of Wall Street's consensus estimate of 82 cents a share, according to data compiled by First Call/Thomson Financial. Earnings were $189.7 million, up 16 percent over the prior year's $163.8 million, or 78 cents a share.
Shares of Best Buy BBY, +1.54% jumped as much as 15 percent Tuesday. They held tough while the broader markets got crushed, ending the session up $3.26, or nearly 9 percent, to $40.06. Even still, shares continue to trade nearer their 52-week lows.
For the quarter, Best Buy's sales jumped 27 percent to $5.46 billion, boosted by new store openings and a rise in sales of new digital products.
The higher-margin digital technology products, such as DVDs and high-definition televisions, more than offset the sales drops in home office items, particularly desktop personal computers, company officials said.
Comparable-store sales rose 1.8 percent for the quarter, and gross margins expanded to 20.4 percent, the Minneapolis-based company said.
For the year, earnings climbed 14 percent to $395.8 million, or $1.86 a share, up from $347.1 million, or $1.63 a share last year. Sales reached $15.33 billion for the 12 months ended March 3, up from the prior year's $12.49 billion.
Both the quarterly and full-year results include dilution of 4 cents a share related to the company's acquisition of Musicland Stores, a deal that closed in the fourth quarter.
Upbeat outlook
"Consumers are embracing the expanding breadth of new digital technologies and are showing strong preference for Best Buy's store format," Chief Executive Richard Schulze said in an earnings release.
He remains upbeat about this year's potential, even given softness in the U.S. economy. Schulze expects full-year earnings per share to grow by 16-to-18 percent, pushing earnings to the $2.15-to-$2.20 range compared with $1.86 earned for the just-completed fiscal year.
That comes despite projecting a loss of 23 cents to 25 cents a share in the first quarter and a flat second quarter compared to last year, Schulze said on an earnings call Tuesday.
He said that though appliance sales have not been big profit winners for Best Buy, the company is sticking with them and retooling its approach to selling them. In particular, Best Buy is teaming with certain suppliers to sell refrigerators and ovens directly to consumers - eliminating the so-called middle man and growing profits.
However, Schulze admitted that the competitive landscape is changing quickly. Rival Circuit City Stores Inc. CC, +2.43% for example, recently gave up on selling the space-guzzling products in favor of technology-related items that also happen to be substantially smaller in size. The reason: the growing number of home improvement retailers, such as Home Depot Inc. HD, +2.69% moving into the appliance-selling business.
But the format change at Circuit City has proven to be a tough one, forcing the company to warn Monday that it would miss expectations.
Schulze would not venture a guess on how the new sales approach might fare for Best Buy. He expects profitability, however, by 2003.
"This is a challenging economic environment," Schulze said, "but we expect to continue to add market share...and to get more than our fair share of the business."

The Wednesday Stuff
Not strictly on my workdesk which usually is the kitchen worktop/glass hob lid or table but I really need to shout from the rooftops about these. 24 pots of WOW embossing powders by Sheena Douglass and I won them in a facebook competition. I am so happy right now with these little pots of sparkly indulgence and can't wait to get my heat gun out from the depths of my stash box.
For more workdesks this week please stop by Stamping Ground
Next up is Work In Progress Wednesday
I started a new mystery sock on new years day. I didn't make a single pair of socks (apart from the sock journey thingy) during 2011 so, in an attempt to use up some stash yarn, I decided to do the mystery socks in the SKA group over on Ravelry
The only other WIP I have is the Advent Scarf. I'm currently up to day 22 of 24. I've shortened a few sections and missed a couple out as the yarn is running dangerously close to empty but I'm almost done and have really enjoyed it. The yarn is Aade Long. I love the long colour changes in it.
For more WIPs please visit Tami

visual irony
I've been reading a lot of blogs lately, and I find them a compelling form of comunication that is intensely personal that moves into a sphere that is utterly public. I have kept an online journal for two and a half years, but its in a format that is locked in and not very flexible. I like how this looks, and it seems idiot-proof, which works for me. Also, friends at work, including students, know my user name at the other site, so I want to move these ramblings here, under a different user name, so I maintain some privacy.

Following are some of the utterance by clients:
"This discussion guide is so good and thorough, that I am sure that you have not done it by yourself."
"You are very pursuasive, aren't you?"
"I felt like you were telling me a story, until you interrupted it with a question".
"Oh you are from India. You guys have a great cricket team."
"Do you have openings in your office?"
"Its Doctor, not Mister."
"You are an Indian? But you speak English so well".
I kid you not - I have not even rephrased any of the above.

Second marriages can be more romantic than first marriages because the second time around, people are more sure of who they are and what they want in a partner. Couples are more often more romantic because they appreciate their second chance at love so much more. This blog is about love and romance the second time around!And, about how much I love my husband, Chuck!

A Hug Can Make My Day
The other day, both Chuck and I spent the whole day together, working at home. He was sitting on one side of the dining room table working away on his computer, and I was on the other side writing on mine. We spent about 5 hours like that, sitting across from each other, taking a break only to use the rest room, or to get a drink of water, etc. We took a short rest after that, and it wasn't until dinner time, as he was walking by me, that I stopped him, put my arms around him, and gave him a hug. When he hugged me back, it was as though the whole day's worth of tension, of working on our respective computers, faded away, and all that was left was this incredible love I have for this man, and the feeling of his arms around me, loving me back. We had spent all day together, but I felt more connected to him in those few seconds than I had all day. I have always heard about the importance of physical contact between couples, and how it helps a relationship thrive. But it really hit home to me on that particular day that it really can do wonders to remind two people how much they care about each other. So I highly recommend hugging your partner daily. Dare I say a hug a day keeps the divorce lawyers away???!!!

Last month I ordered a whole organic free range chicken from the farm that Jason used to work on, yesterday was my day to go pick it up.
I have been looking forward to this day all month!
Call me weird but I have been searching all month for all different kind of recipes and ways to stretch this bird for as many meals as possible.
I found all different kinds of recipes:
chicken pot pie
chicken noodle soup
chicken and rice
chicken tortilla soup
chicken "anything your heart desires"
you get my point.. 1 chicken, lots of meals
So I started chopping some vegetable to put at the bottom of my crock pot
get the chicken out
look at the chicken
look at the crock pot
proceed to say oh crap!
my chicken is to big for my crock pot
I then go into panic mode and franticly search the kitchen like a chicken with its head cut off (no pun intended.. ok well maybe a little pun intended) for some kind of solution to just magically pop out of thin air.
I have no solution so I have to put the chicken back in the back and put in the fridge until I can figure some thing out.
There is just one small problem here, you see I cute the bag open and now it can't be closed back in the bag. Great.
I grab a freezer bag and start to jam the chicken into the freezer bag.. this is not pretty.. I was starting to get a little grossed out at how much this thing still looked like a chicken.. stop laughing.. I am used to chicken coming in boneless skinless breast.. not fully attached only missing its organs and head.
I managed to get the bird in the bag but it wouldn't zip.. darn bird! You could have laid off the calories a bit!
I double bagged it since it wouldn't zip and I put it back in the fridge until I can get to my moms and barrow her large crock pot
my poor little chicken
Hopefully I will have some lovely chicken recipes shortly following this post.
