So taking the drugs makes you anxious about dying early so you take more pills which makes you more anxious.
2. From Reuters: "Tumbleweeds plague drought-stricken American West."
Wow. Tumbleweeds out West. Who knew? Next they'll be telling us there is ice in Alaska.
3. From Gay Patriot, your week in seven clicks:
- Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid caught siphoning campaign funds to family members and trying to hide it from the FEC.
- California Democrat Senator charged with corruption, bribery, and gun-running.
- North Carolina Democrat Mayor resigns amid charges of bribery, theft, and coercion.
- Democrat Rhode Island House Speaker Resigns after being caught in corruption probe.
- Democrat New York Assemblyman’s home raided in corruption probe.
- Illinois Democrat Senator resigns after being caught with kiddo pr0n.
- Pennsylvania Democrat State Senator to stand trial for using state funds for campaign fundraising.
The rest of the story on No. 2 is the California state senator is pro-gun control and the Democratic Party's nominee for secretary of state. He was helping Muslims overthrow the Philippine government.
But hey, look over there is a bridge in Hoboken.
4. From Gov. Scott Walker: “I think what we’ve shown in Wisconsin is that it’s not about austerity — it’s about reform. And what I mean by that is if we just come in our state and cut things across the board that means you cut your priorities as much as you cut things that aren’t quite as important. We reined in collective bargaining. We put more power back in the hands of the taxpayer at the state and the local level. I think nationally we need that same sort of reform no matter who is running for president. I’d slash the marginal tax rates for everyone across the board — go to a simpler, more flat tax.”
President Reagan took on Patco. He had the easier chore.
5. From Reuters: "Peter McGraith and David Cabreza will marry in London a stroke after midnight on Friday, marking the culmination of a campaign to end a distinction many British gay couples say made them feel like second class citizens."
6. From Bloomberg: "Citigroup Inc.’s capital plan was among five that failed Federal Reserve stress tests, while Bank of America Corp. won approval for its first dividend increase since the financial crisis."
From the New York Daily News: "Citi Bike boss resigns as beleaguered programs fails to meet monthly performance standards."
Come on. If you cannot run something as simple as a bank, how can we expect you to run a bike stand?
7. From Fox News: "Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are pressing President Obama to raise the issue of human and religious rights during his face-to-face meeting Friday with Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah."
Because that worked so well with Putin.
8. From Fox News: "Alex Trebek is unimpressed with 'Jeopardy' contestant's answer."
Art Fleming might have given him a pass but not Trebek. You don't want to face the Wrath of Trebek.
And Fox News geniuses: The contestants give questions not answers.
Got to admit, it takes a pretty large amount of stupid to think Magic Johnson played hockey.
9. From CNN: "U.N. General Assembly resolution calls Crimean referendum invalid."
The United Nations. Nerd virgins at Porky's.
10. From the Fuel Fix: " Boosted by the galloping pace of tight oil operations, the United States produced a tenth of the world’s oil at the end of last year, the Energy Information Administration reports."
Does this mean we get to tell the Saudis to shove it?
11. From Fox News: "A federal appeals court on Thursday upheld Texas' tough abortion restrictions that have led to the closure of nearly 20 clinics around the state, saying the new rules don't jeopardize women's health."
By clinics they mean abortion mills. We treat puppies better.
Final score: GOOD 8, EVIL 3.
Just a reminder, bonus column on Saturday at 5 P.M. Eastern.

A recently published article has called on food manufacturers within the UK to 'recognise the massive potential of nanotechnology in creating healthier foods'.
Foods produced with nanoparticles 'can deliver a more rapid hit of taste', meaning that other ingredients such as salts and fats can be reduced as the particles are more evenly distributed. Nanotechnology would also allow a 'two- or three-fold increase in shelf-life' for foods.
The article also contains an interview with a representative from nanoKTN, who stated that "the UK was the leading country for developing the science behind nanotechnology" but that it has come to suffer from "that age-old problem of translating research into commercial benefit". He also highlighted that the UK was now falling behind countries in the Far East when it came to commercialising nanotechnology.

The District 2-5A boys basketball race didn’t begin Saturday with a three-way tie for first place, but it ended with one.
This was largely due to the Eldorado Eagles, who beat West Mesa 58-54 on Saturday afternoon.
Michael Knaub had 19 points, and Josiah Mitchell added 18 for Eldorado (13-7 overall), which joined Sandia (16-4) and West Mesa (15-5) atop the 2-5A standings.
Each team is 3-1 in league play.
The only reason Saturday didn’t end with a four-way logjam for first place is because Farmington, playing at home, beat La Cueva 78-62 in the afternoon. The Bears (12-8) are 2-2 and a game behind the three co-leaders.
District 5-5A has seen Santa Fe leading the league early, but right on the Demons’ heels is Los Lunas.
The Tigers (16-4, 3-1) bashed visiting Rio Grande 63-30 on Saturday afternoon, and they are one game behind Santa Fe (13-7, 4-0), which defeated rival Capital (12-7, 1-3) by a 71-55 score Saturday night.
Sophomore guard Jalin Holland poured in 31 points to lead Los Lunas against the Ravens (10-8, 2-2). Point guard Ezra Guest added a dozen points.
Los Lunas got out quickly, leading the Ravens by 10 points in the first quarter, and didn’t look back.
“Today we didn’t get Rio Grande’s best shot,” Tigers coach Travis Julian said. “They’re a better team than that.”
Rio Grande, despite the loss, was in third place in 5-5A by itself as of Saturday afternoon.
GIRLS: Sandia had a difficult week, losing home games to both Volcano Vista and La Cueva. But the Matadors routed visiting Piedra Vista 69-15 on Saturday afternoon in District 2-5A.
The Matadors’ outstanding sophomore trio — Sydney Benally, Hope Giddings and Audri Wright — combined to score 61 of their team’s points. Benally had 30 points, Giddings 17 and Wright 14.
Sandia (14-5, 2-2 in 2-5A) had suffered a 64-57 loss on Wednesday to La Cueva.
“The La Cueva game was disappointing, but we had our two best practices of the year on Thursday and Friday,” Matadors coach Lee Kettig said.
Sandia has a home game next weekend against Farmington (19-1, 4-0), which leads District 2-5A.
The Scorpions were in Albuquerque on Saturday and downed La Cueva 53-41 in a first-place battle. Guard Eva Love returned to the La Cueva lineup on Saturday after missing the previous month with an ankle injury. Love’s minutes were limited, and she scored six points in about 12 minutes of action, La Cueva coach Marisa Cogan said.
Jordyn Dyer led the Bears with 13 points.
Senior guard Kamalani Anitielu had 13 points to lead Farmington. Kjani Anitielu added 12 points for the Scorpions, who led La Cueva by 20 points in a big first half.

It seems there is no stop for Bitcoin. The token touched an all-new high this week above $19,850. Now the market cap of the digital currency has reached over $317.5 billion. The trading volume of the coin also increased exponentially and the last 24hour’s trading volume was above $14.5 billion.
- Bitcoin touched a new high this week above $19,800, but has since pulled back from the rally
- The token gained around 17 percent this week and currently trying to regain its peak with support around $18,400
Though the week started with a drop from $17,300, BTC/USD was quick enough to find support around $16100. It also acted as a pivot and initiated a week-long bullish trend. With this trend, Bitcoin touched its lifetime peak above $19,800. But after a classic pullback from the peak, the token found support around $18,400 region.
100 SMA is still above the 200 SMA indicating an upward least resistance. This also indicates the continuation of the uptrend rather than a trend reversal. Fibonacci retracement is currently at 50 percent.
Stoch is also going up indicating the continuation of the bullish rally. RSI being at 49 percent is in the optimum region. MACD, after stabilizing due to the pullback is again tending to go up.
Bitcoin has seen a massive rally after the introduction of the first Bitcoin futures at COBE on 10th December.
Yesterday, CME Group launched Bitcoin futures on their trading platform. Even though prior to the launch, the digital coin paced up to touch its new high, after the launch, the value had a pullback.
On 23rd December, another hard ford on the Bitcoin’s network, called Bitcoin Platinum, is lined up. This will be the second fork this month but there is one more fork to go before the clock strikes an end to 2017. These forks also influence the price of digital coins a lot.
Amid the meteoric rise, regulatory authorities of many countries are considering the possibilities to regulate the digital coin. Recently Indian tax authorities have started a soft crackdown on the countries exchanges in suspicion of tax evasion and money laundering.Trade on BTC/USD now

A pensioner jailed for sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl has failed in a bid to get his sentence slashed.
Widower Dennis Green, 68, of Riverbank East, Stakeford, near Ashington, was jailed at Newcastle Crown Court for four-and-a-half years after he admitted attempting to have unlawful sexual intercourse and two specimen charges of indecent assault.
His victim only broke her silence after she was examined by a doctor after an attempted drug overdose.
Green's Lawyers yesterday argued the jail term was too long in view of his guilt plea, his age and his ill health.
But Lord Justice Keene, sitting with Mrs Justice Hallett and Mr Justice Goldring at London's Appeal Court, ruled Green's sentence must stand.
He explained: "One disturbing feature of this case is that Green blamed the girl for instigating sexual activity."
Green, who has no previous convictions, was apparently `devastated' by his wife's death and was described as `a desperately lonely man' at the original hearing.

Bad breath is a common health problem which greately affects the daytoday activities of somany people. The offenssive odor from the mouth is unpleasent to those who come in close contact with bad breathers. The problem will be doubled by psychological trauma leading to depression. The sufferers from this problem wil be isolated from the society. This can even lead to marital disharmony.
The Right Cure For Bad Breath It is important to realize that there are several distinct causes of bad breath and that there are correspondingly different treatments for the different causes. Simply sucking a mint will not cure the fundamental, underlying problem. When you are looking for a cure for bad breath, you will have to examine the cause of the bad breath in order to treat it effectively. Bad breath is a common condition that affects one in four people and it is good to know that there is a cure and bad breath can be treated effectively.
Oral bacteria, foods, smoking, dentures, and dry mouth are the main causes of bad breath. Each cause of bad breath can cause either long term or short-term bad breath. However there is a cure for each of the causes of bad breath. And nobody needs to suffer as either the cause or the recipient of the problem of bad breath.
Oral Bacteria The number one cause of bad breath is oral bacteria in the mouth, teeth and gums. This bad breath can be controlled, and even completely eliminated by regular brushing and flossing of your teeth. You should also brush or scrap your tongue. The oral bacteria that live in your mouth uses the tongue as one of their favorite hiding spots. When brushing and flossing you must dislodge food particles and plaque from your teeth so that bacteria will not thrive in your mouth. By getting into a regular routine of brushing and flossing, you can control the growth of bacteria and remove the problem of bad breath for ever. If you suffer from chronic bad breath, medically called halitosis, then you must consult with a doctor to find a stronger, more permanent, treatment to cure your bad breath.
Food Caused Bad Breath We all know that some foods, such as onions and garlic, can cause short-term bad breath. That is why you have to be very careful what you order when out on a dinner date, or even a business lunch. However while you can eat a sprig of parsley, cloves, fennel seeds or peppermint to mask the odour, the smell of strong foods cannot be eliminated because it originates in your intestinal tract. While you can try to mask the smell you run the risk of overpowering your breath with both mint and garlic. The only solution to food caused bad breath is to wait for the odor to leave your body naturally.
Bad Breath Caused By Smoking The smell of tobacco and cigarette smoke is very hard to shift from your mouth, and your clothes. For those who don't smoke, and more importantly for those who have given up smoking, the smell of cigarettes from a person's breath can be quite distasteful. No amount of brushing, mouthwash or breath sprays will work, because these simply mask the smell temporarily as you will always have another cigarette. No only dose smoking leave the smell of tobacco and stale smoke in your mouth, but it also leaves your gums and teeth prone to gum disease which in and of itself will cause bad breath. If you smoke you will have bad breath, if you want fresh breath you will have to give up smoking.
Dentures And Bad Breath Dentures that are not cleaned regularly can cause bad breath. Food particles can be caught in your dentures and unless they are washed regularly the food particles will help promote the growth of oral bacteria in your mouth causing bad breath. Always clean your dentures as recommended by your dentist.

5 reasons to give to Rotary on Giving Tuesday
You have many choices where you donate this Giving Tuesday, 27 November. Why should Rotary be your charity of choice?
Here are five reasons to give to Rotary.
Our accountability and transparency have earned The Rotary Foundation 11 straight years of four-star ratings — the highest possible — from independent evaluator Charity Navigator. Ninety-one percent of Foundation funds are spent directly on programs. No high administrative costs dilute your gift.
We partner with other organizations to increase our impact and make your donations work even harder. When you give to PolioPlus, for example, you have the satisfaction of knowing that every $1 Rotary commits to polio eradication is matched by $2 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Thanks to this partnership, all donations to end polio (up to $50 million per year) are tripled, providing critical funding toward creating a polio-free world.
3. A record of success
Rotary unites leaders who have the skills and resources to tackle some of the world’s most difficult problems and deliver sustainable, long-lasting results. For decades, Rotary has been a leader in the battle against polio and has caused cases to plummet from 350,000 in 1988 to only a handful this year. Rotary members have also achieved notable results in other areas, like eradicating Guinea worm disease in Ghana.
4. Global reach
Our 1.2 million members span the globe, uniting people who have a common desire to serve others. From teaching children to read in Ecuador to a microcredit program in Indonesia, Rotary members identify local problems and use Rotary’s vast network and the resources of The Rotary Foundation to take action in their communities.
5. Bringing about peace
Each year, the Rotary Peace Centers train some of the world’s most dedicated professionals to resolve conflicts and promote national and international cooperation. Rotary Peace Fellows study in a two-year master’s degree program or a three-month professional certificate program at Rotary’s partner universities. Rotary members themselves also address the underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, inequality, ethnic tension, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources.

Inarguably the most hyped release of 2010, Kites starring Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori finally released last weekend. The film had been aggressively marketed given the lack of other movies to make an impact at the Indian box office, other than the recent comedy Housefull. But Kites failed to impress in India as well as overseas.
In the UK Kites was expected to collect half-a-million pounds in its opening weekend (including Thursday previews), but the film collected half of what was expected, despite the massive number of screens it was released in. In fact, the screen average of Kites is lower than Jodhaa Akbar, Dhoom 2, Krrish, Koi Mil Gaya, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, Mujhse Dosti Karogi, K3G, Yaadein and Fiza.
In USA the film featured in the Top 10 list, which is very, very praiseworthy, but given the number of screens (208), the opening weekend numbers are disappointing. The film just about managed to collect a mere $958,673. The film should have collected between 1.75 million to 2 million in its opening weekend, just going by the number of screens. Here too, the screen average of Kites is lower than Jodhaa Akbar, Dhoom 2, Krrish, Lakshya, Koi Mil Gaya and Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon.
While comparisons are being made with the collections of 3 Idiots and MNIK in India, lets see how these two big films have performed in the USA.
My Name is Khan was the other big film of 2010. Expectations were as high, if not higher because of the hit jodi. And this project also had big names associated with it. It released on the 12th of February in the USA across 120 theatres. MNIK earned $1,944,027 in its opening weekend and was ranked 13th on the chart.
3 Idiots is a movie everybody just loved. People had huge expectations as the film was based on the best selling novel “Five Point Someone” by Chetan Bhagat. Besides that, it brought back the hit team of the Munnabhai series, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Raju Hirani. 3 Idiots released on 23 december 2009 across 119 screens and earned $1,645,502 in its opening weekend and got ranked 12th on the chart.
Judging from the above figures, Kites didn’t have a huge opening in the USA as is made to let us all believe. As you can see, 3 Idiots and MNIK released in less theatres and both earned a lot more.
How Kites reached the top 10 is a question that will remain unanswered. The fact that there have been no big American releases except Iron Man 2 might be one of the reasons.
According to Roshan, the foreign press has appreciated the film and they’re just judging Kites with no strings attached. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the audience is staying away despite these good reviews.
Roshan told the Bombay Times on Tuesday that he was justified in trying something different and that the movie had given Bollywood a new profile internationally. “I have been feeding this biryani-loving audience typical fare like ‘Dhoom 2’ and ‘Krrish’ but here I am saying, ‘Try some pasta as well’,” he said.
A 90-minute version of the movie released this past Friday. Maybe that version will work it’s magic at the Box Office.

Ministers are expected formally to back a new generation of nuclear power stations in Britain, in defiance of a fresh legal challenge from environmentalists and a damaging revolt from Labour backbenchers. Gordon Brown’s first cabinet meeting of the new year is due to nod through the decision next week, and John Hutton, Secretary of State for Business and Enterprise, is expected to confirm it to the House of Commons on 7 January when MPs return from their Christmas break. But Greenpeace, which overturned the Government’s last attempt to usher in a new atomic age when a judge ruled that the decision-making process had been flawed, is confident of repeating the successful tactic. And Britain’s top nuclear energy economist, Gordon Mackerron, who recently headed the committee on radioactive waste management, has demolished the case for the atom and lent his support to the legal action.

The government is bracing itself for another legal challenge from Greenpeace when it sanctions the construction of a new generation of nuclear reactors in the next few days. Ministers will reveal the results of their second consultation on nuclear power as early as 7 January. The publication of the long-awaited energy bill, which is supposed to frame the UK’s energy policy for the next 50 years, will follow shortly afterwards. But Greenpeace, which opposes nuclear power, is preparing to mount a second legal challenge to block the plans.

The Treasury is in line for a £2bn windfall next year as the Government presses ahead with plans to sell its stake in Urenco, the uranium enricher. In an attempt to facilitate the sale, the Government is considering appointing new non-executives who would drum up interest and push for the highest possible price, nuclear industry insiders said. Britain jointly owns Urenco with Germany and Holland. Downing Street has been keen to privatise the Buckinghamshire-based company, one of the largest uranium enrichment companies in the world, for several years as part of its wider drive to sell Britain’s nuclear assets and take advantage of their high price on international markets thanks to the resurgence of nuclear power, but has so far been blocked by its partners. But sources said the Government planned to push ahead in 2008. On April 1 it will take direct control of the British stake from BNFL. The Government is lobbying its European partners to accept a sale of one third of the business.

text: BACKGROUND: Elderly population is on rise. It is an ethical dilemma how aggressive one should be when it comes to treat cancer in elderly. Presumed fear of increased postoperative morbidity and mortality has resulted in delivery of sub-optimal cancer surgery. METHODS: In this review article we visit physiology of the aged, tools available to assess surgical risks in oncogeriatric patients, and current practice in the management of common cancers encountered in surgical oncology, with the view of increasing awareness on optimising surgical management of senior patients with cancer. A pubmed search for cancer, surgery, elderly, was carried out. RESULTS: Cancer is on rise with increasing age predominantly affecting breast, gastrointestinal tract and lung. Increasingly more surgeons are offering surgery to elderly cancer patient but selection bias is prevalent. Available data reflect short and long-term outcome of cancer surgery in elderly is not greatly different to that of younger patient. Declining physiological reserve along with inability to respond adequately to physiological stress are salient age related changes. Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is not tested in surgical patient. There is need for a tool to define individualised operative risk. Preoperative assessment of cancer in elderly is designed to offer this information based on functional status of an individual utilising currently available tools of risk assessment. CONCLUSION: All elderly cancer patients should be offered optimal treatment depending on their functional status not on chronological age. Oncogeriatric patient would benefit from dedicated multidisciplinary approach. Recruitment of elderly cancer patients to more clinical trials is needed to enhance our knowledge and to offer optimum treatment to this unique subgroup.

6 nutrients that optimally prepare you for surgery
Written by Michelle Feijen
Patients often ask me what nutrients they need for surgery. We are also often asked why the nutrients we recommend prior to surgery differ from the nutrients we recommend during recovery from surgery or trauma. It’s high time to dedicate a blog to these questions!
Which nutrients optimally prepare a patient for surgery?
The need for vitamins before surgery differs from the need after surgery. To properly prepare your body for surgery, you need the following 6 vitamins, minerals and amino acids: Vitamin B – Essential in energy metabolism
All B vitamins play an important role in energy metabolism. Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are converted into energy with the help of vitamin B. When there is a deficiency in the body of B vitamins, the body cannot properly convert the available food sources into energy, which is hampered for, for example, cell division and wound healing. 3
Vitamin D – Healthy bones and resistance
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and important for strong bones and teeth. In addition, it promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, which means that it has an important effect in building muscle and bone. 7, 8 Vitamin D also has a positive effect on the immune system, supports the immune response and contributes to the production of new cells and tissues. This contributes to a quick recovery. However, we often do not get enough vitamin D from our diet. 5 A vitamin D deficiency is associated with, among other things, an increase in complications after surgery, including a poorer recovery after hip surgery. 9, 10
Zinc – Involved in wound healing
Zinc is needed in building proteins, DNA synthesis and cell division. It is involved in as many as 70 enzyme systems that are important in wound healing. Because zinc is involved in tissue growth and renewal, it contributes to an optimal preparation for surgery 11. In addition, zinc makes an important contribution to the maintenance of cognitive functions and normal hormone balance.
Magnesium – Antioxidant
Magnesium is a very important mineral. It is necessary for the energy metabolism in our body and the proper functioning of the muscles. 12
Magnesium, together with vitamin D and calcium, contributes to stronger bone density. A magnesium deficiency has a negative influence on all bone tissue cells, making it difficult for new cells to be made, which reduces the structure and makes the bone break faster. Postmenopausal women and older men benefit from additional magnesium in addition to a healthy diet. 13
In addition, it has a beneficial effect on the reduction of fatigue, 12 has a positive effect on pain after surgery, and has been shown to improve wound healing in patients with diabetes.
Omega-3 – Anti-Inflammatory
Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids. The most important role is played by EPA and DHA, which have an anti-inflammatory effect. Research shows that wound healing is faster in the group taking omega-3 fatty acids than the control group, even when omega-3 is taken alone before surgery. 14
Arginine – most important amino acid for wound healing
One of the most important amino acids is arginine. Arginine has a variety of functions in the body, including supporting the immune system, supporting normal blood circulation, building muscle mass and promoting recovery from illness. It has a unique effect on wound and intestinal healing. In fact, it appears that the right amount of arginine can lower the risk of infections after surgery by more than 40%. Nutrients for surgery Now you know which nutrients are needed to put your body in an optimal nutritional state for surgery. Please share this post with anyone who could benefit from this information so we can help as many people as possible prepare for their surgery.
The food supplement Recover Prepare contains all these vitamins, minerals and amino acids and helps you to optimally prepare your body for surgery.

Eastern Panhandle Economic Outlook Conference scheduled for Nov. 3
To say that West Virginia is at a crossroads is an understatement.
It’s been a rough year for the state, and policymakers and business leaders are more interested than ever in the economic outlook for West Virginia, as well as possible remedies for an ailing economy.
The Eastern Panhandle Economic Outlook Conference will be held at the Martinsburg Holiday Inn on Nov. 3 to provide stakeholders with the economic forecast for West Virginia’s easternmost counties, as well as the outlook for the state and nation. The annual event is hosted by the West Virginia University Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER), housed in the WVU College of Business and Economics.
The report incorporates Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties in West Virginia.
“This event will provide a focused look at West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle, which has been one of West Virginia’s strongest economic regions in recent years,” said Dr. John Deskins, BBER director. “I will also provide a detailed look at the state economy and the forecast for the coming year.”
The event also presents an opportunity to discuss primary indicators of the state economy, such as employment, unemployment, population and real per capita personal income, and to discuss potential solutions. “There are a lot of questions out there about where West Virginia’s economy is heading, and people want hard data and rigorous and unbiased economic analysis. And that’s exactly what we will provide,” Deskins said.
Registration and lunch will begin at 11:30 a.m., followed by the U.S. Economic Outlook by Andy Bauer, senior regional economist, Baltimore Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Deskins will then present the Eastern Panhandle/West Virginia economic outlook, followed by a presentation by Stephen Christian, executive director, Berkeley County Development Authority.
The Eastern Panhandle Economic Outlook Conference is the fourth of five events scheduled by the BBER across West Virginia. The remaining regional economic outlook event will be held in Morgantown on November 16, with previous conferences held in Charleston, Wheeling and Beckley.
To register for the event, go to be.wvu.edu/bber. For further information on the WVU College of Business and Economics, follow us on Twitter at @wvucobe or visit be.wvu.edu.

Hey my friends!!
How is my super pal's doing?
Alright so have you ever thrown something out and then thought "shit I could've used that".
Your thinking in sat in my closet for god knows how long and never moved so I can toss it! Now I actually need it and have to go out and buy another one. Has that happened to you too or just me?
"Always make sure & think before you throw out"
It happened to be the other day when I was (not decor related) making some fruit water and I had a huge jug. I ended up tossing it out in my organizing frenzy and regret it now. Unfortunately I am back to making fruit water, which I thought I wouldn't because it got expensive and now I need a new jug. Was that a long sentence or what? Woo
The point is I wish I would've known sooner (maybe go forward in time, super power anyone?) and hadn't thrown it out. But unfortunately that's not possible so I made due long story short.
Same goes for decor & accessories my friends it's almost better to have some extra things laying around.
Maybe think about a decor closet?! Then you can shop your own house, brilliant. That would be super cool no? I need to make me one of these. Then you wouldn't have that sudden urge to go out and buy something new unless you really, really, really need to. Sometimes that happens.
"Disclaimer; Use those super powers and see what you really use & need. You do not need to go out and buy things to fill your new décor closet. Just start keeping things you collect or switch out over time. If you do however go fill up your new closet, husbands I am not to blame!"
My 5 top things to never throw out;
- Boxes, Bins & Baskets; Can you really go wrong with storage baskets or bins? Having extra is always handy.
- Candles: These are great for the senses as well as atmosphere. They almost look pretty styled on a coffee table, mantle or dining room table. You can never have enough right?
- "Out of Season" accessories; When you have enough of some of your accessories or you need a switch out or you simply seasonal decorate and are changing seasons. This is one of the best things to have! It'll be cheaper and much more convenient
- Organizers; From makeup organizers to plastic drawer units to drawer dividers and more. These will help your head from spinning and then "unseen" mess you see when you open a drawer, closet or door.
- Pillows; Umm this is just because what girl doesn't love pillows or buys an excessive amount when they're on sale or are just to cute to pass by? Am I right ladies?
Guys you can't go wrong with having a little extra around the house. Especially if you are like me and like to change things frequently, then you can just hit up your special cupboard and VOILA new feel, new atmosphere, new room.
Plus its MUCH cheaper and your bank accounts with obviously thank you, I should probably start think about that because mine might really thank me.
What are your top 5's? Did some surprise you?
As Always Thanks For Reading! Like This Post? Please Share It!

A gargantuan, mind-altering comedy about the Pursuit of Happiness in America Set in an addicts' halfway house and a tennis academy, and featuring the most endearingly screwed-up family to come along in recent fiction, Infinite Jest explores essential questions about what entertainment is and why it has come to so dominate our lives; about how our desire for entertainment affects our need to connect with other people; and about what the pleasures we choose say about who we are. Equal parts philosophical quest and screwball comedy, Infinite Jest bends every rule of fiction without sacrificing for a moment its own entertainment value. It is an exuberant, uniquely American exploration of the passions that make us human - and one of those rare books that renew the idea of what a novel can do. "The next step in fiction...Edgy, accurate, and darkly witty...Think Beckett, think Pynchon, think Gaddis. Think." --Sven Birkerts, The Atlantic

Where do you begin with a writer as original and brilliant as David Foster Wallace? Here -- with a carefully considered selection of his extraordinary body of work, chosen by a range of great writers, critics, and those who worked with him most closely. This volume presents his most dazzling, funniest, and most heartbreaking work -- essays like his famous cruise-ship piece, "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again," excerpts from his novels The Broom of the System, Infinite Jest, and The Pale King, and legendary stories like "The Depressed Person." Wallace's explorations of morality, self-consciousness, addiction, sports, love, and the many other subjects that occupied him are represented here in both fiction and nonfiction. Collected for the first time are Wallace's first published story, "The View from Planet Trillaphon as Seen In Relation to the Bad Thing" and a selection of his work as a writing instructor, including reading lists, grammar guides, and general guidelines for his students. A dozen writers and critics, including Hari Kunzru, Anne Fadiman, and Nam Le, add afterwords to favorite pieces, expanding our appreciation of the unique pleasures of Wallace's writing. The result is an astonishing volume that shows the breadth and range of "one of America's most daring and talented writers" (Los Angeles Times Book Review) whose work was full of humor, insight, and beauty.

"Elegant Complexity is the first critical work to provide detailed and thorough commentary on each of the 192 sections of David Foster Wallace's masterful Infinite Jest. No other commentary on Infinite Jest recognizes that Wallace clearly divided the book into 28 chapters that are thematically unified. A chronology at the end of the study reorders each section of the novel into a sequential timeline that orients the reader and that could be used to support a chronological reading of the novel. Other helpful reference materials include a thematic outline, more chronologies, a map of one the novel's settings, lists of characters grouped by association, and an indexed list of references. Elegant Complexity orients the reader at the beginning of each section and keeps commentary separate for those readers who only want orientation. The researcher looking for specific characters or themes is provided a key at the beginning of each commentary. Carlisle explains the novel's complex plot threads (and discrepancies) with expert insight and clear commentary. The book is 99% spoiler-free for first-time readers of Infinite Jest."--Publisher's website.

The agents at the IRS Regional Examination Center in Peoria, Illinois, appear ordinary enough to newly arrived trainee David Foster Wallace. But as he immerses himself in a routine so tedious and repetitive that new employees receive boredom-survival training, he learns of the extraordinary variety of personalities drawn to this strange calling. And he has arrived at a moment when forces within the IRS are plotting to eliminate even what little humanity and dignity the work still has. The Pale King remained unfinished at the time of David Foster Wallace's death, but it is a deeply compelling and satisfying novel, hilarious and fearless and as original as anything Wallace ever undertook. It grapples directly with ultimate questions--questions of life's meaning and of the value of work and society--through characters imagined with the interior force and generosity that were Wallace's unique gifts. Along the way it suggests a new idea of heroism and commands infinite respect for one of the most daring writers of our time.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE, STARRING JASON SEGAL AND JESSE EISENBERG, DIRECTED BY JAMES PONSOLDT An indelible portrait of David Foster Wallace, by turns funny and inspiring, based on a five-day trip with award-winning writer David Lipsky during Wallace’s Infinite Jest tour In David Lipsky’s view, David Foster Wallace was the best young writer in America. Wallace’s pieces for Harper’s magazine in the ’90s were, according to Lipsky, “like hearing for the first time the brain voice of everybody I knew: Here was how we all talked, experienced, thought. It was like smelling the damp in the air, seeing the first flash from a storm a mile away. You knew something gigantic was coming.” Then Rolling Stone sent Lipsky to join Wallace on the last leg of his book tour for Infinite Jest, the novel that made him internationally famous. They lose to each other at chess. They get iced-in at an airport. They dash to Chicago to catch a make-up flight. They endure a terrible reader’s escort in Minneapolis. Wallace does a reading, a signing, an NPR appearance. Wallace gives in and imbibes titanic amounts of hotel television (what he calls an “orgy of spectation”). They fly back to Illinois, drive home, walk Wallace’s dogs. Amid these everyday events, Wallace tells Lipsky remarkable things—everything he can about his life, how he feels, what he thinks, what terrifies and fascinates and confounds him—in the writing voice Lipsky had come to love. Lipsky took notes, stopped envying him, and came to feel about him—that grateful, awake feeling—the same way he felt about Infinite Jest. Then Lipsky heads to the airport, and Wallace goes to a dance at a Baptist church. A biography in five days, Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself is David Foster Wallace as few experienced this great American writer. Told in his own words, here is Wallace’s own story, and his astonishing, humane, alert way of looking at the world; here are stories of being a young writer—of being young generally—trying to knit together your ideas of who you should be and who other people expect you to be, and of being young in March of 1996. And of what it was like to be with and—as he tells it—what it was like to become David Foster Wallace. "If you can think of times in your life that you’ve treated people with extraordinary decency and love, and pure uninterested concern, just because they were valuable as human beings. The ability to do that with ourselves. To treat ourselves the way we would treat a really good, precious friend. Or a tiny child of ours that we absolutely loved more than life itself. And I think it’s probably possible to achieve that. I think part of the job we’re here for is to learn how to do it. I know that sounds a little pious." —David Foster Wallace

Infinite Jest has been hailed as one the great modern American novels and its author, David Foster Wallace, who committed suicide in 2008, as one of the most influential and innovative authors of the past 20 years. Don DeLillo called Infinite Jest a "three-stage rocket to the future," a work "equal to the huge, babbling spin-out sweep of contemporary life," while Time Magazine included Infinite Jest on its list of 100 Greatest Novels published between 1923-2006. David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest: A Reader's Guide was the first book to be published on the novel and is a key reference for those who wish to explore further. Infinite Jest has become an exemplar for difficulty in contemporary Fiction-its 1,079 pages full of verbal invention, oblique narration, and a scattered, nonlinear, chronology. In this comprehensively revised second edition, Burn maps Wallace's influence on contemporary American fiction, outlines Wallace's poetics, and provides a full-length study of the novel, drawing out the most important themes and ideas, before surveying Wallace's post-Infinite Jest output, including The Pale King.

The life of Bill Carter is one steeped in war, love and history.
The 85-year-old World War II veteran spent several years stationed in Alaska and the Aleutian Islands as a mess sergeant. Back surgery kept him out of the battle zone.
A Lincolnton native, Carter entered the guard in 1940 and was deployed to Fort Jackson, S.C. in 1942 before going to Alaska.
Carterâ€™s job required him to work two shifts everyday and prepare meals from numerous army recipe books. He usually served around 100 people.
He looks fondly on his time in Alaska, but it is a place he has no desire to visit again.
â€œDonâ€™t ever go to the Aleutian Islands on vacation, thereâ€™s nothing there,â€ he said.
However, he does keep in touch with the remaining men he was deployed with, meeting them at Sagebrush near the beginning of September every year, the day they entered the armed forces. The number of men has dwindled from around 97 to only nine.
Every year more and more of the remaining members cannot make the meeting, but Carter makes sure to spread the news of each one and keep in touch.
Being one of the remaining nine is something that he doesnâ€™t see as remarkable.
â€œIâ€™m just here,â€ he said. â€œThe Lord is keeping me here.â€
Carter experienced a much bigger gathering two years ago when he visited the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. with his family. More than 200,000 veterans assembled.
â€œThatâ€™s the greatest thing that I ever went to,â€ he said. â€œYouâ€™d be surprised the people we saw.â€
Carter is not the only one in his family with a storied military past. His grandfather, William Jackson Carter, was a veteran of the Civil War.
Carterâ€™s grandfather was the only one of three other brothers to survive the war between the states. Two were killed during the Battle of Richmond and one was killed during the Battle of Gettysburg.
The younger Carter does not remember much of his grandfather, except for his burial in 1924, when Carter was 4 years old.
His grandfather was buried in a casket made of wooden planks and carried to a cemetery in Lawndale in a two-horse wagon.
â€œI just remember sitting in the wagon going through the field going to my uncleâ€™s house,â€ Carter said.
Though he lived relatively close, he didnâ€™t revisit the site until two years ago when he took his granddaughter to see the grave.
While being a World War II veteran and having a Civil War veteran for a grandfather are definite historical accomplishments, some people find it more impressive that Carter stayed married to his wife, Mary Elizabeth, for 60 years.
The two were married in 1941 and met in his fatherâ€™s cafÐ¹, which was next to where Melamoose is today.
â€œI saw her walk past the window, and I tapped the window, and she smiled at me,â€ he said. â€œI got to date her, too, and that was it.â€
Their marriage received recognition from Presidents George and George W. Bush.
Carter has kept memorabilia from his 85 years, including his dress coat and an original Life magazine from 1936.
Though he is getting older, the memories are still fresh in his mind. It is that passion for the past that keeps Carter and many others celebrating and remembering every Veterans Day.
â€œIâ€™m going uptown to see the parade,â€ he said. â€œI might get out and sit in my wheelchair.â€

The sustainable builders at ArtisTree are known for creating some seriously beautiful and green structures. The company has just unveiled a charming treehouse located in a remote eco-retreat in Texas. Perched 25 feet in the air between two cypress trees, the Yoki Treehouse is an exceptional example of the company’s artistry and deep respect for nature.
Located in central Texas, the Yoki Treehouse is Austin’s first treehouse resort at Cypress Valley. Designed to be a luxury retreat, the treehouse sits 25 feet above a creek, which served as the inspiration for the design and name (Yoki is the Hopi Native American word for rain). According to Will Beilharz, founder of ArtisTree, “Water is life — one of our most precious resources, and ArtisTree treehouses are designed to let people experience nature’s resources more intimately.”
Built with sustainable woods such as elm, cypress and spruce, the treehouse holds court high up within the tree canopy. The retreat is comprised of a 500-square-foot suspended treehouse and a separate bathhouse, which sits on solid ground. The two buildings are connected by a 60-foot-long suspension bridge with various platforms to provide plenty of open spaces for enjoying the surrounding nature.
In the main house, this strong emphasis on nature is apparent at every angle. The entrance is located on the roof, which doubles as an observation platform perfect for enjoying the lush green forest views and the babbling brook. There is also an open-air porch where the branches grow through the floor, further connecting the structure into its environment.
Inside, the walls of the treehouse are clad in a warm birch wood, creating a cabin-like aesthetic. Again, an abundance of windows, including an all-glass front wall, allows guests to reconnect with nature. The interior design and furnishings were inspired by Japanese minimalism, while touches of Turkish decor add a sense of whimsy.
The separate bathhouse was built with solitude in mind. It features a spa-like atmosphere, complete with a large Onsen-style soaking bathtub. Ample floor-to-ceiling windows offer guests a serene spot to enjoy a bit of bird watching or stargazing.

The score doesn't show this, but Lake Mary actually had Miami Norland on its heels for nearly two minutes with a 22-20 lead.
The Vikings looked a bit rattled and frustrated with their poor shooting and careless turnovers until Cleandra Roberts nailed a buzzer three pointer to give them back the lead at 25-22.
Shakeyia Coyler and Sarah Taylor have a combined 17 points while Morgan Jones has eight rebounds. Roberts leads the Vikings with 11.
Both teams are tied with nine turnovers. The Vikings have 29 rebounds to Lake Mary's 21.

In recent weeks we have seen UK listed companies look to equity raises in order to consolidate through the crisis.
In London companies alone almost £600 million has been raised across multiple sectors, as trading environments become tougher, revenues decline, and firms look to equity to ensure they have working capital and a strong balance sheet to take them through the period.
This has led some to question the fairness on existing investors with their holdings becoming increasingly diluted, and some industry bodies calling for an element of protection or preferential treatment for them.
The fact remains, we are dealing with unprecedented, uncertain times, and cash is most certainly king.
However, with even FTSE 100 and 250 companies flocking to raise funds in order to stay afloat, where does this leave SME’s?
Government initiatives are certainly welcomed by the majority of industry leaders, though the speed and even likelihood of widespread implementation has been questioned by some.
One significant factor that we are seeing is increased appetite from private equity funds, family offices and private investors, to innovate in how they will look to invest in companies. There is focus on those companies and sectors that have the fundamentals to succeed in a post lockdown market, with potentially reduced competition and increased market share. The fact that these companies may be looking to take on debt or equity at a more generous level than previous in order to increase working capital, means some very attractive opportunities for investment have arisen.
This is a difficult period for all companies, large and small, and working capital to weather the storm is crucial. However, this creates opportunity for those who are best placed to come out of the other side and flourish, and investors want to be part of this, willing to help now, and benefit long term.
Now is the time to strike, please get in touch today and we can discuss your capital requirements and how the best opportunities to meet them.

It is everybody’s dream to live in a place where they don’t have to worry about anything happening to themselves or their families. Plenty spend big bucks to do so. One place to consider would be the Scottish island of Canna, situated in the Inner Hebrides. This town, less than four miles long and a mile wide, has not experienced any crime in decades. In fact, there has not even been a need for a police station to watch over the town’s population of only 26. However, the town was rocked with its first crime since the 1960’s when the community store was burglarized on Friday.
The community store in Canna is a volunteer run business that operates on the honor system for the past four years. It services the few locals and fishermen passing through who can drop cash in exchange for groceries and other items. It is left open 24 hours so that “sailors, fisherman and visiting kayakers can use the free wi-fi and help themselves to a cup of tea or coffee.” According to The Independent, thieves broke into the shop “emptying the shelves of sweet, biscuits, coffee, toiletries, batteries and six wool hats, that had been hand-knitted by shop manager Julie McCabe.”
McCabe said, “I am absolutely floored that someone has been in and did that to our community… We are going to have to consider locking the door at night.”
The last crime to happen on the island happened in the 1960s when a carved wooden plate was stolen from the local church. That crime was never solved.

THE construction work on Nerja’s new underground car park is almost completed.
Mayor of the town, Jose Alberto Armijo, visited the site to see the progress for himself, and announced a motion to call the new car park ‘Aparcamiento Municipal Burriana,’ which is expected to be approved in the next plenary session.
It will have 240 spaces on three different floors on a surface of 6,500 square metres. In addition, it will contain a tourism office.
With a budget of €2.6 million, it was funded through the National Financial Fund for the Modernisation of Tourism Infrastructure (FOMIT).
The car park is expected to be operational by the end of March or the beginning of April.

Rising pop artist Ashley Kutcher shares the heartbreaking new single ‘Emotionless‘.
It’s another showcase of Kutcher’s pointed and poignant songwriting. Built on soft acoustic guitar and the singer’s aching croons, the track transforms from an intimate bedroom ballad to gut-wrenching anthem.
As the track progresses, a heavy beat begins to throb underneath while the instrumental gets ever woozier.
‘Emotionless’ is Kutcher’s third release of 2022. It arrives on the heels of recent hit ‘Nothing’s All The Time’ and fan-favorite ‘Love You More’, which has amassed over 5.3 million Spotify streams.

Its actually best to study anatomy. Its a way to under stand the body differently, but in a scientific and accurate way. Really notice how the feet and arms actuall bend forward a bit while standing.
In a way, from those anatomical studies, you can come up with your own shapes and stuff. Sometimes a good shape is a comparison from real life such as the toes are like cars, the head and skull are eggs, the rib cage is an egg, the neck is a coat hanger, etc. The slope of the toe is a wind shield, the nail is the hood, and the fat on the sides are like fender. The car analogy is something that figure modeling taught me.
Its the same way with hands, only they are longer and not stubby.
Sometimes some drawing techniques are to draw boxes. It helps alot so you see all the perspective of the body as like some structural building and see that its a 3D form.
Or you can start with the contraposto lines which every one is talking about the lines for the torso, chest or neck.
Its also important to be loose, or do alot of gesture drawings, or basically getting the directions of the pose. Try posemaniacs, pixellovely, and quickpose, and do the timer. Its to get the basic form, not to be a complete picture.
I liked the car analogy and you are right, I'm currently taking those into suggestion with my next drawing. And I do use posemaniacs already but I'll give those other sites a try as well. Thank you for the advice/tips. ^^
hexcodewhiteFeatured By OwnerMar 6, 2013Student Digital Artist
Not only should you work with gesture drawings/draw anatomy from observation, you should also consider expression. Watch movies and study the way that people communicate to each other by the way they're standing or the way they're sitting.
Pull up Posemaniacs and use their 30-second drawing tool. Set it to something like 60 seconds and just draw gestures over and over again. You'll begin building a small library of poses and images in your head, and you'll be learning by doing - the best way! Watch some movies and take some screenshots of dynamic body language. Examine how people slump over when they're tired or bored, or how fluid their body is when they run. Considering body language helps "wake up" your drawings of people and keeps them from looking dull or lifeless. **Practice gestures first and get comfortable with those before you look up body language; little easier that way.
Gesture drawings become important in more complicated poses. In this instance, you may have to start out with an arm, a leg, or the spine before the head. Boxes and circles have a limitation in that they cannot lay out the directions of the limbs, spinal contours, and the distribution of weight as well as lines and curves.
The hands and the feet are perhaps the most complicated to learn how to draw.
Yeah I know. I tried starting a drawing with the shoulder line but it felt to odd. I'm just too used to starting out with the head shape first. :/ And oh man, do I know how hard hands are to draw. They've plagued me forever...
Even when drawing a more complicated pose, I think the head (the length of the head, to be more specific) is still useful as a 'measuring stick' to set relative proportions. Other 'measuring sticks' include the length of the upper arm, which roughly corresponds to the length between the shoulder and the waist. If foreshortening is involved, then this needs to be compensated for.
Spending a few semester in figure drawing classes is the most straightforward means of learning how to draw people using near-realistic proportions. Books (left-brain activity) on figure drawing do not make much sense until you have had first-hand experience (right-brain activity) in some figure drawing.
