Posted by The Hand on May 30, 2012 in Relationships |

Recently I was faced with a basic quandary about myself as a person. Am I needy? No, I?m not going to share the situation that brought about this little discussion. The fact is that it?s here and while it?s easy to dismiss the idea right away, I find it more interesting to take some time and think about it.

Neediness is a pretty common characteristic attributed to females, especially when they?re in a relationship that often involves emotional attachment. Being ?needy? is another one of those dismissals that guys like to use when they?re talking about ?crazy womenz and their crazy feelingz.? Basically, demanding any time or effort above what your partner initially wanted to give you gets classified as ?needy.?

When I think about a person that I would deem needy, it normally involves an individual with relatively low self-esteem who is looking for constant affirmations that the people in their lives still love and care for them. It?s someone who has to end every conversation with ?I love you? and freaks out if a text message goes unanswered for more than a couple minutes. Personally, I?ve never considered myself to be a part of that group.

But as a happily married woman, I have to admit that I find myself missing a lot of the romance that comes early on in relationships. Suddenly I was looking for more date nights, more ?I love you.? I want reminders that we?re still just as in love and committed now as we were years ago when we decided to get married. That desire for romance brought up an uncomfortable question. Am I needy? Did I suddenly become one of those people? Had I judged them wrong to begin with?

In this moment, it would super easy to blame romantic comedies and Jane Austen novels. Of course books and movies only show romance when it?s being screamed from a rooftop or shoved in our face. I grew up seeing that you didn?t really love someone until you embarrassed yourself in front of a crowded room for them. I could use the excuse that the early exposure to in-your-face romance makes me perpetually inclined to grand romantic gestures.

I could use that as an excuse, but it wouldn?t be completely fair. When my husband and I are dating, you want to know the most romantic thing he ever said to me? I can remember it very vividly. We were talking about the possibility of my taking a little time off work to go back to school. He told me that he would fine supporting me for a while when I wasn?t earning an income. My response, as an independent single mother, was that ?I don?t need you take care of me.? Without a moment?s pause he said, ?And that?s the only reason I would want to.? That?s the day I decided that I would marry that man.

Sure, it?s a cute story, but it?s not a romantic comedy story. There was no neediness there. There was no flash mob apology or interrupting my sister?s wedding to proclaim our love. It was a simple moment while we were cleaning the kitchen after dinner. My dating life had very little resemblance to a Jane Austen novel, so why would my marriage be any different?

I think I?m beginning to realize that relationships in general have to be a little needy. The longer they go on, the more they need to attract attention. The longer you?re with someone, the more work they take. (Coincidentally, the more work they take, they more rewarding they are.)It?s not just insecure people that are begging someone to love them. Long-term commitment takes dedication. It takes effort that we sometimes aren?t in the mood to put in. That doesn?t make our partners needy, it simply means that a good relationship will take energy from both parties to keep it healthy and happy.

Sure, some people are looking for relationships that are a little more labor-intensive than others. That?s probably why I felt sympathy for those who seemed to need more affirmation than their partners were willing to put out. It seemed like they hadn?t found someone whose romantic relationship needs matched their own. But even in the most low-key relationships, there will be time where our partners demand more effort than we?re in the mood to give. And those moments will feel a little needy.

Am I needy? Possibly. I like to feel like I?m pretty secure in my own skin, but there are times when I want to hear that I?m smart or capable or funny. But is my relationship needy? Yes. By it?s very nature, marriage demands commitment from us. That takes effort. And sometimes, it takes more effort than either my husband or I are in the mood to devote to it.

No, that?s not the most rosy or romantic view on marriage you?ll find, but I think it?s an honest one. It?s also one that lots of couples probably face over time. The good news is that putting the effort in to help keep our relationships strong normally involves some fun and a little lovin.

JERUSALEM (AP) ? A Russian-based internet security firm says a powerful computer virus with unprecedented data-snatching capabilities has attacked machines in Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East.

Iran has not disclosed any damage done by the new spyware virus, dubbed "Flame." Its origin has not been identified, but Israel's vice premier fueled speculation that his country, known for its technological innovation and tireless campaign against Iran's suspect nuclear program, unleashed it.

Russian digital security provider Kaspersky Lab, which identified the virus, said in a release posted on its website late Monday that "the complexity and functionality of the newly discovered malicious program exceed those of all other cyber menaces known to date."

It said preliminary findings suggest the virus has been active since March 2010, but eluded detection because it of its "extreme complexity" and the fact that only selected computers are being targeted. Flame's primary purpose, it said, "appears to be cyber espionage, by stealing information from infected machines" and sending it to servers across the world.

According to Kaspersky, the virus collected information not only in Iran, but also in Israel and the Palestinian territories, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Iran, however, was far and away the country most affected, it said.

A unit of the Iranian communications and information technology ministry said only that it has produced an antivirus capable of identifying and removing the new malware. The Flame virus is the fourth known cyber attack on the Iranian nuclear program.

Comments Tuesday by Israel's vice premier did little to deflect suspicion about possible Israeli involvement in the latest attack.

"Whoever sees the Iranian threat as a significant threat is likely to take various steps, including these, to hobble it," Vice Premier Moshe Yaalon told Army Radio. "Israel is blessed with high technology, and we boast tools that open all sorts of opportunities for us."

Israel, like the West, rejects Tehran's claims that its nuclear program is designed to produce energy, not bombs. It considers Iran to be the greatest threat to its survival and repeatedly, if obliquely, threatened to attack Iran's nuclear facilities if Tehran doesn't abandon its uranium enrichment project, a key element of bombmaking.

Kaspersky said the cyber espionage worm came to its attention after the United Nations' International Telecommunication Union asked it for help in finding a piece of malware that was deleting sensitive information across the Middle East. The company stumbled across Flame when searching for that other code, it said.

Because Flame is so complex, was not designed to hack into bank accounts and doesn't have the hallmarks of amateur hackers, Kaspersky has concluded that the research that went into the code was government-sponsored.

The code offers no information that can tie Flame to any specific nation, Kaspersky said.

Udi Mokady, CEO of Cyber-Ark, an Israeli developer of information security, said he thought four countries, in no particular order, have the technological know-how to develop so sophisticated a cyber offensive: Israel, the U.S., China and Russia.

"It was 20 times more sophisticated than Stuxnet," with thousands of lines of code that took a large team, ample funding and months, if not years, to develop, he said.

"It's a live program that communicates back to its master. It asks, where should I go? What should I do now? It's really almost like a science fiction movie."

The first known cyber attack on the Iranian nuclear program dates back to 2010, when the Stuxnet virus disrupted controls of some nuclear centrifuges. Iran claims Stuxnet and other computer viruses have done no serious harm to Iran's nuclear or industrial facilities, and sees them as part of a campaign by Israel, the U.S. and their allies, which includes the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists, to undermine the Iranian nuclear program.

In Baghdad last week, Iranian negotiators rejected proposals by six world powers to curb Tehran's nuclear ambitions. A new round of nuclear talks is expected to take place in Moscow next month.

Yaalon, the Israeli vice premier, told Army Radio on Tuesday that the talks in Iraq "yielded no significant achievement" except to let Iran buy time. He appeared to take a swipe at President Barack Obama by saying it might "even be in the interest of some players in the West to play for time."

Yaalon in the past expressed disappointment that the U.S. has delayed plans to expand sanctions against Iran, suggesting Washington was afraid the penalties would send oil prices soaring and hurt Obama's re-election chances.

The Volkswagen Beetle was a favorite of the counterculture crowd of the late '60s and early '70s.

By Paul A. Eisenstein, msnbc.com contributor

Few manufacturers have had more humble origins or had less of a chance of surviving. Yet, as Volkswagen?celebrates its 75^th anniversary, the German maker now has a solid shot at dominating the automotive world.

While it is no longer a one-model company, Volkswagen AG has become an industry powerhouse covering every segment of the market, from such high-mileage econoboxes as the VW Up! to playthings for the ultra-rich with models like the Lamborghini Aventador and Bentley Mulsanne.

Getty Images

The basic VW Beetle introduced fuel economy to the American public.

Such a range would have been hard to imagine when the company was founded by the legendary Ferdinand Porsche in May 1937. Better known for his high-performance sports cars, Porsche was charged by Adolph Hitler to develop a small, affordable car for the German masses.? It was to be known as the Volkswagen, or People?s Car. ?It wasn?t until several decades later that the original model came to be known as the Beetle.?

The new company was headquartered in Wolfsburg, an old castle town an hour from Berlin, but the assembly line barely got into operation producing the 990 Reichsmark coupe before production was shifted to support the Nazi war machine.? And there the story might have ended had it not been for British Army Maj. Ivan Hirst.

Getty Images

The Volkswagen bus also had a following among those who preferred going down a road less traveled.

He was assigned to the devastated town shortly after the war ended and given the task of trying to put the VW plant back to work. Buried under the rubble Hirst found a surviving Beetle, painted it green and convinced British occupation forces to place an order for 20,000.? Within just a few years, demand was booming. And desperate for foreign currency, the newly privatized Volkswagen started shipping some of the little cars abroad.

The first to reach the U.S. arrived in 1949.? It was a sort of anti-car, anything but the sort of big, heavy ? and gas-guzzling ? models that American buyers were shopping for in ever increasing numbers. Yet the Beetle resonated with a small community and by the ?60s it became a symbol of the American counter-culture.

Getty Images

Disney's "Herbie, the Love Bug" brought even more popularity -- and sales -- to Volkswagen.

Soon, U.S. sales were nudging a half-million annually. But the German maker was about to face some new competition from Japan and, unable to match the mileage and quality of makers like Toyota and Honda, and unwilling to design products specifically for the States, sales steadily dwindled even as the VW line-up expanded. By the early 1990s, Volkswagen seriously considered abandoning the U.S. market.

It decided to stick it out but shifted attention to other markets, including China where it is today locked into a bitter battle for dominance with General Motors.? It also went on a buying spree, adding new brands like Spanish Seat and Czech Skoda, as well as Italy?s Lamborghini and Britain?s Bentley.?

Getty Images

The first Volkswagens to reach the U.S. arrived in 1949.

Collectively, those and Volkswagen AG?s other brands generated a hefty 8.39 million sales in 2011, making the company the world?s second-largest automaker, behind only General Motors but ahead of the previous year?s leader Toyota, which was hurt by Japan?s devastating earthquake and tsunami.? While Toyota has a good chance of regaining its lead in 2012, Volkswagen officials have declared a goal of becoming the automotive world?s king-of-the-hill before the end of the decade.? And their soaring profits should provide the additional product needed to get there.

Meanwhile, the German maker has shifted course in the U.S.? After long ignoring the market and having closed its Westmoreland, Pa., plant more than two decades ago, Volkswagen?last year opened a new plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., to build a version of the midsize Passat sedan designed specifically for the U.S. ?The payoff came quickly, with booming demand suggesting that VW just might meet a goal of tripling U.S. volume ? including the Audi brand ? to 800,000 annually.

Getty Images

Today, Volkswagen has one of the broadest line-ups in the automotive world. A lot has changed in 75 years.

Today, the maker has one of the broadest line-ups in the automotive world.? And that includes what is only the third-generation Beetle. The little coupe will never again match the demand of decades past, company officials admit, but it is an iconic symbol of VW?s unlikely success and ability to rise from the ashes.

The Roots of acupuncture and Amazing benefits To Great Health

The documented heritage of China clearly demonstrates how acupuncture was developed there thousands of years ago. Even so it wasn?t until some time ago, Maybe couple of hundreds years, That this mode of the treatment plan made its way into Europe. It took until around the twenty first century before acupuncture received popular natural beauty in the US and additional countries. The situation now is that a lot of study has been performed. The ancient and modern Chinese texts assert that quite a few types of ailments are treated. Though, It is still highly advised that you talk to your family doctor prior to acupuncture. Just as a broad summary, There are specified meridian lines by the body processes which are the areas for the points. Meridians are situated all over the body, And the number of them is perhaps hundreds of. The meridians are energy channels elsewhere in your system, And the right flow of energy must be existing for optimum health and fitness and vigor. The action of the acupuncture needles is to clean the obstacle to energy flow and restore well-being and health. Discomfort caused by other ailments can be reduced utilizing the same basis. truly, You can find an excessive amount of people who regularly receive this treatment for pain control. But you can find known circumstances such as help with stress connected headaches as a result of tension. Migraines are a typical problem that runners use acupuncture for, And they which effective treatment can occur. This operation can be very safe but only when treated by someone who is properly trained with the right qualifications. Apparently there may perhaps be some side effects with some types of problems, But the best path to take is ask a quality professional acupuncture therapist.

Reducing tuberculosis transmission in geographic "hotspots" where infections are highest could significantly reduce TB transmission on a broader scale, according to a study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. An analysis of data from Rio de Janeiro showed that a reduction in TB infections within three high-transmission hotspots could reduce citywide transmission by 9.8 percent over 5 years, and as much as 29 percent over 50 years. The study was published May 28 by the journal PNAS.

"Targeting treatment of 'core groups' as a way to reduce community-wide transmission is common with diseases like HIV and malaria, but is less accepted as a mantra for TB control," said David Dowdy, MD, PhD, ScM, lead author of the study and assistant professor in the Bloomberg School's Department of Epidemiology. "Our findings suggest that hotspots containing 6 percent of a city's population can be responsible for 35 percent or more of its ongoing TB transmission. Controlling TB in these hotspots may have a similar impact on long-term, community-wide TB incidence as achieving the same targets in the remaining 94 percent of the population."

For the study, Dowdy and his colleagues developed mathematical models for TB transmission using surveillance data from Rio de Janeiro. Each model tested different scenarios for TB transmission between the hotspot and the rest of the community. Co-infection with HIV was also factored into the model.

According to the study, reducing TB transmission rates in the hotspot to those in the general community reduced citywide TB incidence by a mean 2 percent per year over the first 5 years. By year 50, TB incidence was reduced by 29.7 percent, reflecting a 62.8 percent reduction in incidence in the hotspot and a 23.1 percent reduction in the remaining community.

Tuberculosis infects more than 8.8 million people worldwide, resulting in 1.4 million deaths each year. The disease is known to cluster in hotspots typically characterized by crowding, poverty and other illnesses such as HIV. Nevertheless, TB transmission appears to be more homogeneous than that of many other infectious diseases, in which 20 percent of the population may generate 80 percent of infections.

According to Dowdy, "TB may not follow the same '80/20' rule that we see in parasitic or sexually transmitted diseases, but the '35/6' rule seen in our study suggests that targeting hotspots is still the best way to control TB in a community."

The disease is known to cluster in hotspots typically characterized by crowding, poverty and other illnesses such as HIV. Nevertheless, TB transmission appears to be more homogeneous than that of many other infectious diseases, in which 20 percent of the population may generate 80 percent of infections.

According to Dowdy, "TB may not follow the same '80/20' rule that we see in parasitic or sexually transmitted diseases, but the '35/6' rule seen in our study suggests that targeting hotspots is still the best way to control TB in a community."

The authors of "Heterogeneity in tuberculosis transmission and the role of geographic hotspots in propagating epidemics" are David W. Dowdy, Jonathan E. Golub, Richard Chaisson and Valeria Saraceni.

Now and then it?s healthy to step outside of Obama?s ?Real World?. To breath some fresh air. To ponder existence beyond the orbit of the Obamas, Kimberlins, and #Occupy hippies. The Left?s controlling 1% makes for a long, strange, dangerous trip.

One of the handful of political leaders worth two hoots today is Senataor Tom Coburn. Watch this interview on what is THE issue of the election:

The Obama Administration is fundamentally incapable of facing the budget reality. While you can attempt a mellow pose, and say that the problems did not begin on Obama?s watch, you?d better be honest and admit that Obama has done frack-all to offer substantial leadership in any other direction.

Even the much-derided George W. Bush at least tried to do something, anything, to privatize Social Security. Sad. The post title, by the wasy, tries to play on ?Debt Bomb? and ?Explosive Ordnance Demolition (EOD)?.

Mark J. Rebilas-US PRESSWIRE

Today, we?re 96 days away from the kickoff of the 2012 college?football?season. As such, we?ll review the No. 96 team in our Rant?Sports?100 in 100 college?football?previews, the Temple Owls.

2012 will be a season of challenged for Steve Addazio?s team as they return a limited number of starters on both sides of the ball and re-enter the Big East Conference. There?s no doubt, however, that Addazio has Temple alumni and fans in Philadelphia firmly in his corner regardless of how the Owls finish this fall.

Impact Players

Offense

Dual-threat quarterback Chris Coyer will lead the offense for the Owls in 2012. Coyer?s elusiveness and ability to throw on the run are both vital to his continued success in igniting a Temple offense that will be looking for playmakers this fall to maintain momentum. ?Throwing on the run and escaping the pocket will be something Coyer will certainly be forced to do given the loss of four offensive linemen from 2011?s 9-4 squad.

Coyer will be surrounded by a solid strength and speed duo of running backs in Matt Brown and Kenny Harper. At 5?5?, Brown is a shifty and fleet speed back with great ability to hit holes and pick up a solid yards per carry average. Harper, on the other hand, is the bruiser who made a strong impression during spring practice and could in fact turn out to be a workhorse for the Owls this fall.

There also remains a slight possibility that Boston College transfer Montel Harris could get eligibility issues worked out in time to be able to suit up this fall, but there doesn?t really appear to be a consensus among Temple media that this is a certainty.

Coyer will look toward junior Deon Miller as his primary target in the passing game, but only by default, given that Miller is the leading receiver with 18 catches from 2011.

Temple?s offensive line concerns, however, outweigh all others that Steve Addazio will be forced to deal with as fall practice rolls around. Young, inexperienced players will be forced to step up and play serious minutes at a high level for any facet of the Owls? potentially powerful offense to be successful.

Defense

The Temple defense will be looking for plenty of new faces to step in and fill holes left by multiple players who are no longer a part of the program. Up front, the Owls lose five players who made a major impact not only in terms of their percentage of the overall number of tackles, but also in unquestioned leadership.

Several young men will have the chance to step up into much more extensive roles this season and make a mark on the defensive side of the football. Linebackers Ahkeem Smith and Nate D. Smith will be depended upon to be the second line of defense behind the inexperienced defensive line. The ?Smiths? have the type of impact ability to change a game, and their collective ability to get pressure in the backfield and disrupt opposing offenses will go a long way towards Temple?s defensive success in 2012.

Safeties Nate Smith and Justin Gildea will anchor a secondary which will be challenged consistently unless the new defensive front can beat opposing offensive lines off the snap.

In general, young players will need to step up for the Owls to have a substantial defensive presence and allow their clock-control, run-focused offense to stay on the field as long as possible to control possession and the flow of games.

Schedule

The first five games of the Owls? season will certainly set the tone for the team?s finish in 2012. Home contests to start the season against the Villanova Wildcats and Maryland Terrapins are both winnable, but could be more of a test than they appear to be on paper. Weeks 3 and 4, however, are the true test. Games against Penn State in Happy Valley and at home against the deceptive South Florida Bulls could show how prepared Addazio?s young troops are to take on 2012 and return to another first-tier bowl game.

In short, the young Temple Owls certainly will not be the 9-4 team of 2011 in terms of experience, but talent is not lacking. How well this talent translates to execution will tell the tale at Lincoln Financial this fall.

Selecting keywords for your PPC or search advertising can be overwhelming for any local business running their own advertising. How long should your search keywords be? Should they be broad or specific? Here are a few basic tips on creating an optimal PPC keyword list if you?re running your own Google AdWords or other search advertising to promote your local business.

Think Like a Consumer

When selecting keywords for your search advertising campaign, it?s important to think about how your potential customers are searching for your products and services. In addition to selecting search keywords related to your business category, you may also want to select keywords for your most popular products or services. You should also consider the reasons someone might be searching for your business type. For instance, if your business sells kitchen countertops, you probably want to reach consumers who are considering remodeling their kitchens. So in addition to ?kitchen countertops,? you may also want your ad to show up for consumers searching for terms like ?kitchen remodeling? or ?redo my kitchen.? It?s also a good idea to choose keywords that are present on your business website. These keywords have the most relevance to your search ads because they are the terms a consumer expects to find on your website when they conduct a search.

Do Basic Keyword Research

Use Google?s Keyword Tool to come up with a list of related keywords you want to use in your search ads. When you type a core keyword or phrase into the tool, it provides related keywords as well as the search volume and competitiveness of the keywords. In general, you?ll want to select keywords that have a higher search volume but lower competition. However, for very specific keywords related to your business, the search volume may be low, but consumers searching for those phrases are also more likely to click on your ads and contact you.

Use Long-Tail Keywords

Long-tail keywords are phrases that contain three or more words and target a specific part of your business. Long-tail keywords typically have low search volume but also have a lower cost-per-click than more generic keywords because they are less competitive. These keywords usually result in higher quality leads from your search advertising because the searcher has specified exactly what they are looking for. This means if your ad matches their search query, the searcher is more likely to click your ad and convert into a customer.

Localize Your Keywords

Bidding on local keywords and using them in your search ads is a must for any local business. Because your goal is to reach consumers in your local area, using local keywords is an effective way to show your ads only to searchers in your target market. Modify your keywords with your neighborhood, city, or metro area, depending on the area you serve as well as the areas you think your customers are most likely to search for.

Include Qualifying Terms

Another way to create relevant keywords is to add descriptive words to your core keyword. For instance, if you install kitchen countertops, you can use keywords related to ?different materials to qualify the keyword ?countertops,? such as ?marble countertop installation,? ?granite countertop installation,? or ?stone countertop installation,? so your ad is more likely to be shown to consumers who search for those specific keywords.

Use Questions

Search queries are often framed in the form of a question, so you can use that phrasing to come up with relevant keywords. For example, a consumer may search for a phrase like ?How do I install kitchen countertops?? or ?How do I choose a kitchen countertop?? So choosing keywords like ?install kitchen countertops? or ?choose a kitchen countertop? is an effective way for you to reach consumers searching for those specific terms.

Identify Negative Keywords

You can also opt to identify negative keywords for your search advertising set up, which mean your ad will not be displayed when a consumer searches for that keyword. For example, if your countertops are high end, you may want to add words like ?budget,? ?discount,? or ?cheap? to your negative keyword list. This tactic can help you make sure your ads are reaching only the most interested consumers, but beware. Using too many negative keywords can mean your ads are reaching fewer customers, which can potentially have a negative impact on your quality score. So use this tactic carefully.

Following these tips to selecting keyword is a great way to jump-start your PPC advertising. Once your ads are showing on the search engines, make sure to monitor their performance and refine your keyword list based on the results. If you?re looking for a more robust approach to your search engine advertising and keyword selection, contact a search engine advertising company that can provide keyword expertise as well as ongoing monitoring and optimization of your ads? performance.?
