Anglican leader Rowan Williams steps down
LONDON (AP) ? The head of the Church of England is leaving office after a decade as the spiritual leader of the world's 80 million-strong Anglican Communion.
Rowan Williams, the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury, will be replaced by 56-year-old former oil executive Justin Welby, the Bishop of Durham.
The ten years in which the 62-year-old Williams held office saw him struggling to maintain unity within the Anglican Communion amid bitter disagreements over female bishops and church teachings on gay relationships.
Williams has been praised for engaging with church critics and atheists including Richard Dawkins, but he has also raised eyebrows with his opinions on controversial issues including the war in Iraq and Sharia law.
Williams will step down Monday to start a new role as Master of Cambridge University's Magdalene College.

2012 was a Breakout Year for MBoSC! | Mountain Bikers of Santa ...
MBoSC at Turning Wheels for Kids December 2012
2012 was an another amazing year for mountain biking in Santa Cruz County and MBoSC. In fact, this was probably a breakout year in which mountain biking changed from being an underground sport to one which had entered the community consciousness and is rapidly becoming a part of the Santa Cruz identity ? much like surfing. The local bike industry like Fox, Bell, Ibis, Santa Cruz Bikes, X-Fusion, Caletti Cycles and the local bike shops like Epicenter Cycling and Scotts Valley Cycle Sport had a really healthy year of growth.
Our donors and volunteers really stepped up their game for 2012 and we have accomplished some incredible things. The 2012 focus was to present the Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Festival in Aptos ? which included California?s first Super Enduro race in Soquel Demonstration Forest (another first) and the approval and implementation of the Emma McCrary trail in the Pogonip.
Starting the year, MBoSC President Mark Davidson was recognized by Santa Cruz NEXT as a community thought leader. This recognition created more visibility of local mountain biking among the broader (non-mtb) community.
The Pogonip multi-use trial (now called the Emma McCrary Trail) project was approved by the Santa Cruz City Council by a 6-1 margin. The story of the transformation of the East side of the Pogonip from a drug haven to recreational trail was documented in a Dec 2012 Bike Magazine article.
The 1.7 mile Castle Rock Trail officially opened April 6, 2012. This trail represents the first mountain bike legal single track opened in the county since the U-con trail in 1999.
MBoSC presented the 2012 Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Festival. This year was huge! The festival grew 50% in both activities and attendance over 2011. We had 70 sponsors, 200 athletes, 200 kids? rodeo participants, 150 volunteers, estimated 6,000 attendees (from as far as France) and perfect weather for making the Fox 3rd Annual Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Festival an incredible success!
As part of the SCMBF, we successfully ran the Bell Super Enduro at Demo ? the first sanctioned competitive event in Soquel Demonstration State Forest. The Bell Super Enduro had 50 elite riders doing 3 special downhill stages and 3 transfer stages.
However big the SCMBF and the Super Enduro were our largest and proudest accomplishment this year has been the design and implementation of the Emma McCrary Trail (a.ka Pogonip multi-use trail). This project really brought the community together. Over 2200+ volunteer hours and $30K had been raised since May and we hope to complete and open this trail for spring 2013.
There were lots of smaller events and initiatives that MBOSC volunteers were involved in. We strengthened our relationship with the local bike industry, we attended meetings and formed partnerships with local land managers. We sent folks to the IMBA Summit in Santa Fe and we had a IMBA Club Care Crew visit soon after. We participated in the annual Turning Wheels for Kids Holiday bike build and we built over 40 new bikes.
We aren?t slowing For 2013. Some of the projects we are planning include:
Finally, we must give a huge, HUGE thank you to the volunteers, attendees and donors who have made MBoSC and our events so successful this year! Thank you, thank you, thank you! It?s so rewarding to see the community come together for some monumental achievements. Specifically, we have to call out and recognize MBoSC officers Mark and Eve Davidson, Steven and Megan Gemelos, Michele Lamelin, Daryl Breuninger and Sebastien Praly for their hard work and commitment to the club. A huge thank you to Shannon Armstrong ? the SCMBF Festival Director for her uncompromising vision of increasing the quality and sustainability of the Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Festival.
Finally (finally!) we have to recognize MBoSC?s trails officer Drew Perkins for his leadership in the design and implementation of the Emma McCrary trail and for creating constructive long term relationships with the local land managers. Drew is the rock star of MBoSC and the man with boots on the ground to make new trails happen in Santa Cruz County. Thank you Drew!
We have earned a great reputation as an organization who are easy to work with and can get things done. We could not do it without the support of the local mountain biking community and those who love to ride in Santa Cruz County!
Lets rock 2013!

NOAA lists ringed and bearded ice seal populations under the Endangered Species Act
Dec. 30, 2012 ? NOAA Fisheries announced on December 21, in compliance with a court ordered deadline, its final listing decision for four subspecies of ringed seals and two distinct population segments (DPSs) of bearded seals under the Endangered Species Act. Specifically, in line with the proposal, NOAA will list as threatened the Beringia and Okhotsk DPSs of bearded seals and the Arctic, Okhotsk, and Baltic subspecies of ringed seals. The Ladoga subspecies of ringed seals will be listed as endangered. The species that exist in U.S. waters (Arctic ringed seals and the Beringia DPS of bearded seals) are already protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
This science-based listing decision will not result in any immediate restrictions on human activities; however, Federal agencies that permit or fund projects that may affect a listed species must consult with NOAA Fisheries to ensure the existence of the species is not jeopardized. In addition, this listing will have no impact on the subsistence harvest of ice seals by Alaska Natives, a practice that is central to the traditional culture and nutrition in many Alaskan Native coastal communities.
"Our scientists undertook an extensive review of the best scientific and commercial data. They concluded that a significant decrease in sea ice is probable later this century and that these changes will likely cause these seal populations to decline," said Jon Kurland, protected resources director for NOAA Fisheries' Alaska region. "We look forward to working with the State of Alaska, our Alaska Native co-management partners, and the public as we work toward designating critical habitat for these seals."
NOAA will work with local, state and Native partners, as well as the public to help determine whether to propose critical habitat designations for Arctic ringed seals and the Beringia DPS of bearded seals. This decision will happen at a later date, after compiling significant additional scientific and economic data and public input. Earlier this year, the President directed that any future designations of critical habitat carefully consider all public comments on relevant science and economic impact, including those that suggest methods for minimizing regulatory burdens. Any potential future critical habitat designation will include a full analysis of economic impact, including impact on jobs, and will strive, to the extent permitted by law, to avoid unnecessary burdens and costs on states, tribes, localities, and the private sector.
Ringed and bearded seals depend on sea ice and snow to survive. After a comprehensive review of the best available science including climate models developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, NOAA has concluded that sea ice and snow cover are likely to further decrease in the foreseeable future resulting in population declines that threaten the survival of these seals.
Ringed seals nurse and protect their pups in snow caves, which are threatened by late ice formation in the fall, rain-on-snow events in the late winter, earlier break-up of spring ice, as well as decreasing snow depths, which are projected to be too shallow for snow cave formation by the end of the century. Both ringed seals and bearded seals rely on sea ice for extended periods during molting, and bearded seals live on sea ice during critical months for breeding, whelping, and nursing. Sea ice is projected to shrink both in extent and duration, with bearded seals finding inadequate ice even if they move north.
NOAA Fisheries proposed the listings in December 2010 and provided opportunities for public input through public comment periods and during public hearings held in Anchorage, Barrow, and Nome. In accordance with NOAA's Policy for Peer Review in ESA Activities, the agency also solicited comments from peer reviewers on each of the proposed rules. In December 2011, NOAA administratively extended the deadline for final listing determinations six months to June 2012 to allow for additional consideration of relevant science and information. In November 2012, the Alaska district court ordered NOAA to respond to a complaint about further delay by December 21, 2012.
The Endangered Species Act defines an endangered species as "any species which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range." A threatened species is "any species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range."
The Endangered Species Act requires species listed as endangered to receive the full protection under the Act to prevent extinction, including a prohibition against "take," which includes harassing, harming, pursuing, wounding, killing, trapping, capturing, or collecting. These protections may also be established for threatened species to prevent them from becoming endangered, but NOAA does not propose pursuing such a rule at this time.

Gaming Lobby Has Already Poured Nearly $1 Million Into Push to ...
The state legislature won't convene for another couple of weeks but, as we've noted previously, the biennial push to legalize gambling in Texas is already well underway. With that push comes the flood of money to grease the legislative machine.
Already, gambling interests have poured in nearly $1 million in advance of the 2013 legislative session, according to the San Antonio Express-News:
Texans for Public Justice, which tracks money in politics, found that gambling interests donated $1.6 million to Texas political action committees and candidates going into the 2010 elections.TPJ, in a check of reports available for this year, found top gambling PACs from 2010 donated more than $904,000 this cycle. The total included only reports covering up until eight days before the election, so the total is sure to be higher.
According to Let Texans Decide, the Chickasaws and Choctaws, which have Oklahoma casino operations, have given Texas candidates five times as much as they gave Oklahoma candidates since 2008 -- more than $807,000 in Texas compared to nearly $152,000 in Oklahoma. The Chickasaws also have invested in a Grand Prairie track.
Let Texans Decide, backed by Penn National Gaming and the Sam Houston Race Track, is the group spearheading the push to legalize gambling. In recent weeks it's been dropping tidbits of news -- for example about "unchecked crime" at underground game rooms -- to bolster its central argument, which is that Texas is losing billions to surrounding states by continuing to bar gambling. Figures cited by the group predict that legalizing gambling would bring $8.5 billion in economic activity and $1 billion in additional tax revenue.
Those arguments, being trotted out for the umpteenth legislative session, are familiar. So are those in opposition: The revenue estimates are overblown, a repeat of the grand promises that came during the push to allow pari-mutuel betting at horse tracks; that relying on gambling as a revenue source is unconscionably regressive, since it generally attracts poor people; that gaming is a social ill that Texas shouldn't countenance.
The legislature has always sided with the opponents and shows no sign of changing track. Tommy Williams, a Republican state senator from the The Woodlands who chairs the Senate's Finance Committee, told the Express-News there was little chance that any new proposal will pass either chamber, particularly given the freshman class of legislators, who are very conservative. That won't be for lack of trying. Or money.

India gang-rape victim dies in Singapore hospital
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The Indian gang-rape victim whose assault in New Delhi triggered nationwide protests died in hospital on Saturday of injuries suffered in the attack, a Singapore hospital treating her said.
The death of the 23-year-old medical student could spawn new protests and possibly fresh confrontations with the police, especially in the Indian capital, which has been the focus of the demonstrations.
"We are very sad to report that the patient passed away peacefully at 4:45 a.m. on Dec 29, 2012 (15:45 a.m. ET Friday). Her family and officials from the High Commission of India were by her side," Mount Elizabeth Hospital Chief Executive Officer Kelvin Loh said in a statement.
The woman, who was severely beaten, raped and thrown out of a moving bus in New Delhi, was flown to Singapore by the Indian government on Wednesday for specialist treatment.
Most rapes and other sex crimes in India go unreported and offenders are rarely punished, women's rights activists say. But the brutality of the assault on December 16 triggered public outrage and demands for better policing and harsher punishment for rapists.
The case has received blanket coverage on cable television news channels. The woman has not been identified but some Indian media have called her "Amanat", an Urdu word meaning "treasure".
Earlier on Friday, the hospital had reported that the young woman's condition had taken a turn for the worse. It said that her family had been informed and were by her side.
T.C.A. Raghavan, the Indian High Commissioner to Singapore, said after her death that the family has expressed a desire for her body to be flown back to India.
At a briefing earlier on Saturday, Raghavan declined to comment on reports in India accusing the government of sending her to Singapore to minimize the possible backlash in the event of her death.
Some Indian medical experts had questioned the decision to airlift the woman to Singapore, calling it a risky maneuver given the seriousness of her injuries. They had said she was already receiving the best possible care in India.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government has been battling criticism that it was tone-deaf to the outcry and heavy-handed in its response to the protests in the Indian capital.
"It is deeply saddening and just beyond words. The police and government definitely have to do something more," said Sharanya Ramachandran, an Indian national who is working as an engineer in Singapore.
"They should bring in very severe punishment for such cases. They should start recognizing that it is a big crime."
"SIGNIFICANT BRAIN INJURY"
The Singapore hospital said earlier that the woman had suffered "significant brain injury" and was surviving against the odds. She had already undergone three abdominal operations before being flown to Singapore.
Demonstrations over the lack of safety for women erupted across India after the attack, culminating last weekend in pitched battles between police and protesters in the heart of New Delhi.
New Delhi has been on edge since the weekend clashes. Hundreds of policemen have been deployed on the streets of the capital and streets leading to the main protest site, the India Gate war memorial, have been shut for long periods, causing commuter chaos in the city of 16 million.
Political commentators and sociologists say the rape has tapped into a deep well of frustration that many Indians feel over what they see as weak governance and poor leadership on social and economic issues.
Many protesters have complained that Singh's government has done little to curb the abuse of women in the country of 1.2 billion. A global poll by the Thomson Reuters Foundation in June found that India was the worst place to be a woman because of high rates of infanticide, child marriage and slavery.
New Delhi has the highest number of sex crimes among India's major cities, with a rape reported on average every 18 hours, according to police figures. Government data show the number of reported rape cases in the country rose by nearly 17 percent between 2007 and 2011.

RunAutoWithWater works on almost all vehicles including hybrids, diesel, gas, and petrol. Your vehicle warranty is preserved and you can add or remove the system in minutes. This system is SAFE for your vehicle and requires no engine modifications.
Based on thousands of tests, the RunAutoWithWater system is among the least expensive systems to build, safest for your vehicle, consumes the least power, and results in up to 3 times the gas savings than older systems based on plates or spiral cables. It even works in freezing weather.
With the RunAutoWithWater System your vehicle will have increased fuel efficiency, smoother drive, and protect the environment.
Smaller systems sell on the internet from $800 to $2,300, but why pay so much when you can build your own using simple tools and easy-to-find parts for $20-60?
Get Started 100% Risk Free with RunAutoWithWater with our 100% Money Back Guarantee. If you join TODAY, you are guaranteed to get access for a special discounted price with 6 limited time bonuses.
How Does This Technology Work?
The technology is not based on replacing your gas with water, but by enhancing the efficiency of your gas-based engine by using the stored energy in water.
We have developed a system that uses very little electricity from your vehicle?s battery to cause water to turn into HHO gas. This gas is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. This gas, also called Brown?s Gas, Oxyhydrogen, Hydroxy or Water-Fuel burns very smoothly and releases A LOT of energy. The end result of this process is water.
Works for big-rigs, trucks, motor-homes, even motorcycles.
We have simplified and made this technology even more inexpensive.
Good for carb/fuel injection, diesel, turbo-diesel, gasoline and petrol.
Works for new and old cars.
You get permission to duplicate the RunAutoWithWater Quickstart system for your own benefit.
Mechanics agree that current engines normally utilize only 20-25% of the power of the gasoline being used. By installing the very easy to build at home RunAutoWithWater system, oxy-hydrogen gas will be injected into the engine to increase the ability of your car engine to produce energy.
The fact is that the hydrogen in water is many times more potent and full of energy than gasoline is. By using electricity from your car?s engine, the hydrogen stays in the form of water up until the split second needed to add to the combustion chamber of your motor. The end result is an increased fuel efficiency of up to 70-80% as well as a cleaner engine and less smog in your exhaust.
The system is very easy to install and we give you step-by-step instructions.
The system can be quickly and easily connected to the vehicle?s battery and draws less than 1-2 amps. The system is protected by a fuse and can be connected or disconnected in less than 5-10 minutes.
Because of such a low power consumption of our design, the vehicle battery lasts just as long as when the system is not attached.
Our design using stainless steel rods produces more oxygen and hydrogen, consumes less electrical power, and is easier and simplier to build (compared to older designs that use plates or spiral cables). It also lasts longer, is easier to clean, and is safer because there is less deterioration of the components.

Kitten marks 11,000th Oregon Humane Society adoption in 2012 ...
A brown tabby kitten became the 11,000th animal adopted this year from the Oregon Humane Society, the third year in a row the agency has achieved that amount.
The 3-month-old, 3-pound feline, named Azazel, was adopted about 2 p.m. Thursday by a Lake Oswego woman, said David Lytle, an agency spokesman.
He estimated at least 100 more dogs, cats and other small animals will find homes before 2012 ends.
"Our yearly goal is to find homes for at least 11,000 animals," Lytle said. "For us to hit that mark for another year is an accomplishment."
Last week, 106 animals were adopted Dec. 20, a single-day record for the Humane Society. Last year, it set a record of 11,521 animals adopted, the most since the society's new shelter in Portland opened in 2000, Lytle said.
The society has slashed adoption fees by 50 percent or more to empty its kennels and other animal areas.Fees, which include spaying or neutering, initial shots and microchips, range from $50 for a dog 6 months or older to $12 for an adult cat. Puppies, which are not discounted, still cost $200 to $400.
The shelter, 1067 N.E. Columbia Blvd., is open for adoptions from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday to Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday to Wednesday.

Best Careers for the Future
What are the best careers for the future?
Rather than doing the usual ?Top 10 Careers for the Future?, I?ve decided instead to look at several broad career fields and highlight the better performing careers in each field.
Not everyone is cut out to be a doctor or an engineer, so we?ll take a look at a number of careers and hopefully you?ll find one that works for you.
Each career listed will include median pay level and projected job growth from 2010 through 2020. ?Source: the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Occupational Employment Statistics
Healthcare
There are hundreds of fields within the healthcare industry, but let?s focus on the ones that have been around for a long time, are steady performers, and don?t require a multi-year stint in medical school to get started.
All are above the national averages in both income and job growth.
Registered Nurse.? Median income $64,690, 10 year job growth 26%
Pharmacist.? Median income $111,570, 10 year job growth 25%
Physical therapist.? Median income $ 76,310, 10 year job growth 39%
Occupational therapist.? Median income $72,320, 10 year job growth 33%
Dental Hygienist.? Median income $68,250, 10 year job growth 38%
Engineering
It?s almost a given that engineers of nearly any stripe earn far above average income levels.
However job growth rates in some sectors, such as nuclear- and industrial-engineers are below average, sometimes well below. ?Here are some of the engineering disciplines where income is high and future job growth is average or above. ?Bio-medical is well above average.
Petroleum.? Median income $114,080 , 10 year job growth 17%
Civil.? Median income $77,560, 10 year job growth 19%
Environmental.? Median income $78,740, 10 year job growth 22%
Bio-medical.? Median income $81,540, 10 year job growth 68%
Technology
What career has the growth potential that?s best for your interests?
Like engineering, the technology field is diverse.
And also like engineering, some areas are seeing lackluster job growth. ?One such occupation is computer programmers, where future growth is projected to be well below the national average (which is why it isn?t listed below).
Here are the technology fields where both income and job growth are above average.
Computer and information research scientists.? Median income $100,660, 10 year job growth 19%
Network and computer systems administrators.? Median income $69,160, 10 year job growth 28%
Systems analyst.? Median income $77,740, 10 year job growth 22%
Software developers.? Median income $90,530, 10 year job growth 30%
The Skilled Trades
The skilled trades have the advantage that they don?t require a college degree, and the cost that involves. ?Some are projected to grow faster than the overall job market (electrician and plumber), while elevator repair and installation is slower growing but pays well above many college related careers.
Auto mechanics and aviation mechanics are not on the list because future job growth is projected to be well below average.
Electrician.? Median income $48,250, 10 year job growth 23%
Plumber.? Median income $46,660, 10 year job growth 26%
Elevator repair and installation.? Median income $70,910, 10 year job growth 11%
Education
Incomes are above average and growth is average, but education related jobs are consistent performers.
Teachers.? Median income $51,380, 10 year job growth 17%
College professors.? Median income $62,050, 10 year job growth 17%
School principals.? Median income $86,970, 10 year job growth 10%
School counselors.? Median income $53,380, 10 year job growth 19%
Entrepreneur
We may not think of having your own business as being a career but it?s increasingly common.
It may be the best solution to a job market in which promotions and traditional jobs are becoming difficult to find. ?It?s also fast becoming the next career move for suddenly unemployed mid-career professionals who find themselves shut out of their lifelong occupations.
Entrepreneurship is difficult to generalize; it can be any type of business from a painting contractor to a factory owner.
The internet is creating millions of opportunities for business ventures by lowering the cost of entry, opening up access to unlimited markets and enabling small start-ups to offer many of the same products and services as large corporations.
The opportunities for both business ideas and income here are unlimited.
Sales
The sales field is broad, and can include everything from common sales areas like real estate, insurance and autos to more technical ones, such as pharmaceutical sales and manufacturers reps.
In general, job growth is on par with national averages and pay can vary (widely) depending on both personal abilities and the product line.
We may not often think of sales as a career, at least not in the traditional sense, but income and promotion potential can be substantial for those who have a natural ability to sell. ?Good sales people often earn more money than salaried professionals. ?Many top level executives start out in sales and rise to the top of the company based on their sales performance.
Finally
No one has an accurate crystal ball. ?There?s no telling how the economy will change over the next decade. ?But having an idea of what careers are expected to have growth can help you decide where you should steer your career or education.
Do you know any other careers that would do well?

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) ? This Christmas was unlike any other in Newtown.
When a gunman wiped out nearly an entire first-grade class and killed students and adults in two other first-grade classrooms just 11 days before Christmas, it made it impossible for the holiday to be the same this year.
Some residents, like Joanne Brunetti, have found ways to console and help their grieving neighbors. Well-wishers from around the country are stopping by to do the same.
Brunetti watched over 26 candles that had been lit at midnight, just before Christmas Day, in honor of those slain at Sandy Hook Elementary School. She and her husband, Bill, signed up for a three-hour shift and erected a tent to ensure that the candle flames never went out throughout the day.
"You have to do something and you don't know what to do, you know? You really feel very helpless in this situation," she said Tuesday. "People have been wonderful to everybody in Newtown whether you were part of what happened or not. My thought is if we were all this nice to each other all the time maybe things like this wouldn't happen."
At a town hall memorial, Faith Leonard waved to people driving by and handed out Christmas cookies, children's gifts and hugs to anyone who needed it.
"I guess my thought was if I could be here helping out maybe one person would be able to spend more time with their family or grieve in the way they needed to," said Leonard, who drove to Newtown from Gilbert, Ariz., to volunteer on Christmas morning. "I know they've been inundated with support and that's great, but it's always nice to have a present to open on Christmas Day."
Julian Revie played "Silent Night" on a piano on the sidewalk at the downtown memorial. Revie, from Ottawa, Canada, was in the area visiting at the time of the shootings. He canceled his plans to go to Australia, found a piano online and chose to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day playing for the people of Newtown.
"It was such a mood of respectful silence," said Revie, who planned to leave the piano behind. "But yesterday being Christmas Eve and today being Christmas Day, I thought now it's time for some Christmas carols for the children."
Many town residents attended Christmas Eve services Monday evening and spent the morning at home with their families. Others attended church services in search of a new beginning.
At St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church, attended by eight of the child victims of the massacre, the pastor told parishioners that "today is the day we begin everything all over again."
Recalling the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, the Rev. Robert Weiss said: "The moment the first responder broke through the doors we knew good always overcomes evil."
"We know Christmas in a way we never ever thought we would know it," he said. "We need a little Christmas and we've been given it."
Volunteers hung ornaments on a series of memorial Christmas trees Tuesday morning while police officers from around the state took extra shifts to direct traffic, patrol the town and give police here a break.
"It's a nice thing that they can use us this way," Ted Latiak, a police detective from Greenwich, Conn., said Christmas morning, as he and a fellow detective, each working a half-day shift, came out of a store with bagels and coffee for other officers.
The expansive memorials throughout town have become gathering points for residents and visitors alike. A steady stream of residents, some in pajamas, relit candles that had been extinguished in an overnight snowstorm.
Others took pictures, dropped off toys and fought back tears at a huge sidewalk memorial in the center of Newtown's Sandy Hook section that is filled with stuffed animals, poems, flowers, posters and cards. Snow covered a pile of teddy bears displayed in town.
Newtown officials plan to convert the countless mementos paying tribute to the 20 children and six adults into a memorial. Thousands of flowers, letters, signs, photos, candles, teddy bears and other items at sites around town will be turned into soil and blocks to be used in a memorial, The News Times in Danbury reports.
The mementos will stay up until after the New Year as residents and visitors pay their respects.
Police have yet to offer a possible motive for gunman Adam Lanza's rampage. The 20-year-old Newtown man, who lived at home, killed his mother in her bed before heading to the school and killing 20 children ? all either 6 or 7 years? and six adults. He then killed himself.

Should You Go To Grad School?
Please don't waste your life this way Photograph by Otmar Winterleitner/iStockPhoto.
Apparently, people have been talking. Recently I received an email from an editor at Bookforum who was asking a number of writers to contribute essays to a book to be called Should I Go to Grad School? for an institution called the Platform for Pedagogy.
She told me, somewhat mysteriously, slightly ominously: ?Several people have mentioned that you have strong feelings on the subject.?
Hm. It?s true, I had recently spoken to a grad school class on Shakespeare at NYU (led by my colleague, the gifted poet and memoirist Meghan O?Rourke) about my book The Shakespeare Wars.?And if all grad school teachers of literature were like her, I would have no problem with the institution.
But I must admit I expressed some very ?strong feelings? in that class. Specifically about the controversy stirred up by some academics who have arrogated to themselves spurious authority to discard parts of Hamlet. I had indeed emphatically warned the impressively bright students in the seminar against the kind of grad school-nurtured exegesis of Shakespeare most egregiously represented by James Shapiro in the section of his book, 1599, wherein he purports to read Shakespeare?s mind and discover that Shakespeare would have wanted to cut, trash, delete, and disappear Hamlet?s final soliloquy; one of the high points of the play and of Shakespeare?s entire oeuvre.
It?s true that the fourth act soliloquy (?How all occasions do inform against me/ And spur my dull revenge ...?), which is present in the so-called ?Good Quarto? of Hamlet, the one published during Shakespeare?s lifetime, was omitted from the posthumously published Folio edition. But there is no evidence that this was Shakespeare?s preference and not that of, for instance, a theater manager who wanted to speed up the action of one of the Bard?s longest plays, which in fact revolves around extended delay.
As I suggest in my book, the mind-reading case Shapiro makes for the excision is no small matter. It?s emblematic of a whole academic mindset, of the sort of tin-eared arrogance that would consign to the dustbin?on no good authority 35 eloquently tormented lines of self-reflection by one of the greatest characters in world literature?a character defined by his penchant for introspection and self-reflection?on the basis of a half-baked theory. In this case, the theory that Shakespeare decided he wanted to revise Hamlet to make Hamlet more of an action hero! Like Schwarzenegger in True Lies! Or maybe a Bruce Willis vehicle: Die Hard With a Vengeance: The Elsinore Conundrum.
In this analysis Hamlet?s last soliloquy slows down the action, makes Hamlet too ?dark and existential,? as Shapiro disparagingly notes. Wouldn?t want that! That Shapiro?s theory has been taken seriously by academics is not merely an intellectual scandal but makes it the perfect metaphor for the way most graduate study of literature in America diminishes it?and has become?something to be avoided like the plague. I?ve tangled with Shapiro before and I will never cease condemning his grad school-bred disembowelment of Hamlet ?til the day I die and hopefully, like Hamlet?s father?s ghost, return to haunt those who advance this meretricious attempt to pour poison into the ears of grad students, to besmirch one of the high points of English literature.
Yes, I guess I do have strong feelings.
But, I told the Should I Go to Grad School? editor, I couldn?t speak about graduate school education in general for two reasons. First, it seems intuitively true that for subjects such as history, philosophy,?the hard sciences, and even some of the softer ones, it would be hard for me to make a case against graduate study.
But grad school for literature, I can't advocate. I escaped Yale before it became the center of the frenzied fad for French literary theorists, as a result of which students read more about arcane metaphysics of language, semiotics and the like than the actual literature itself. But, even though many of the most sophisticated contemporary intellectuals who once bought into this sophistry (such as Terry Eagleton) have abandoned it, the tenured relics who imposed this intellectual regime are still there, still espousing their view that literature itself is only to be understood through their diminishing deconstructing lens. I can testify to it, having sat through enough seminars at the Shakespeare Association of America conferences to last a life time. Please don't waste your life this way.
Second, she had said she was asking two kinds of writers: those who had, and those who had not gone through graduate school. I fell into neither category: I had only spent a year at Yale?s graduate school (in English literature), and then fled the institutional comforts it offered for an unknown future.
All the better, she said. I?d looked at life from both sides now.
And so return with me to the moment I made the choice about whether to stay in graduate school; the moment when two roads stretched before me. I don?t suggest anyone take the path I did?I don?t want to ruin any lives?but maybe it will help some see if it?s the road for them.
It was the spring of 1969, around midnight at a lovely house on a comely cove a few miles up the coast from New Haven, a place I shared with a couple of Yale friends. I was sitting at the kitchen table. I had been up late paging anxiously through the classified ads of the Village Voice (long before they became a porn emporium), looking for a traveling salesman job, not finding one, and wondering if I should accept what seemed to be my fate and continue on in graduate school.

Successful Investing During Inflation | Penny Stocks

Ways of Investing During Inflation
There are some mutually exclusive strategies that can be used when investing during inflation. One strategy involves ratcheting up the level of risk one is willing to chance in order to achieve the returns necessary to beat out the inflation rate. The other is to park funds in a safe place where they are not likely to be destroyed by inflation, and then wait out the storm in the realization that you are not going to make much, if anything, until the financial skies clear once again.
This dichotomy is the real inflationary trap, since many investors depend on the returns that their portfolio yields and cannot spend years without any income. Ergo, they are forced either to take risks they do not feel comfortable with, or to live off their principal, and therefore harm the future income stream upon which all of their financial plans were long ago postulated upon.
Some Suggestions for Investing During Inflation
? Inflation destroys purchasing power, which means that each dollar buys less than it did previously. Because most people cannot significantly raise the number of dollars they make, they have to economize with the ones they do have. This makes value retailers such as WalMart or Dollar General likely candidates for improved earnings and thus higher stock prices. Value priced restaurants are also good plays. McDonalds always seems to do well.
? Liquor and gambling stocks were always expected to do well in tough times, but lately they have not proven to be the reliable contrarians they once were.
? Precious metal producers tend to rise in tandem with the inflation rate, but it is not easy to sift out the real players from the old guys with a hole in the ground and big but basically unrealistic plans.
? For those who are sick of trying to beat the game, US TIPS seem to be the vehicle of choice for investors. Buyers get a very small return on their investment, but are insulated from inflation by having the bond tied to the US Consumer Price Index.
Investing during inflation can be a frustrating exercise, but it is important to keep in mind that you want to position your investments not to ride out the inflationary hurricane but to be well placed to take off once blues skies return.

Stores look to week after Christmas for sales
Shoppers walk past an H&M location, Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2012, in New York. This holiday season is shaping up to be the weakest since the country was in the middle of a deep recession in 2008.

U.S. holiday retail sales this year are the weakest since 2008, after a shopping season disrupted by storms and rising uncertainty among consumers.

Bargain-hungry Americans will need to go on a post-Christmas spending binge to salvage this holiday shopping season.
Despite the huge discounts and other incentives that stores offered leading up to Christmas, U.S. holiday sales so far this year have been the weakest since 2008, when the nation was in a deep recession.
So stores now are depending on the days after Christmas to make up lost ground: The final week of December can account for about 15 percent of the month's sales, and the day after Christmas is typically one of the biggest shopping days of the year.
Stores, which don't typically talk about their plans for sales and other promotions during the season, are known for offering discounts of up to 70 percent after the holiday. This year, they're hoping to lure more bargain hunters who held off on shopping because they wanted to get the best deals of the season.
Still, a powerful winter storm, which pounded the nation's midsection on Wednesday and is heading toward the Northeast, could hurt post-Christmas shopping. The storm is bringing high winds and heavy snow that disrupted holiday travel, knocked out power to thousands of homes and were blamed in at least six deaths.
The Macy's location in Herald Square in New York was bustling with shoppers on Wednesday. There were a variety of deals throughout the store: candy dispensers for 70 percent off, various men's clothes were "buy one get one free," belts for 50 percent off, a bin of ties for $9.99.
Ulises Guzman, 30, a social worker, was shopping in the store. He said he waited to shop until the final days before Christmas, knowing that the deals would get better as stores got more desperate. He said he was expecting discounts of at least 50 percent.
The strategy worked. He saw a coat he wanted at Banana Republic for $200 in the days before Christmas but decided to hold off on making a purchase; on Wednesday, he got it for $80.
"I'm not looking at anything that's original price," he said.
Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta was also crowded by midday on Wednesday. Laschonda Pitluck, 18, a student in Atlanta, was shopping after Christmas because she wanted to get the best deals. Last year she spent over $100 on gifts but this year she's keeping it under $50.
Pitluck said she found items for 50 percent off, including a hoodie and jeans for herself at American Eagle and a shirt at Urban Outfitters. She said she would have bought the clothes if they hadn't been 50 percent off.
"I wasn't looking for deals before Christmas," said Pitluck, who also bought boxers for her boyfriend.
The shopping rush after Christmas illustrates just how important holiday sales are. Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of economic activity, and many retailers can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue during the two-month holiday shopping period at the end of the year.
So far, holiday sales of electronics, clothing, jewelry and home goods in the two months before Christmas increased 0.7 percent compared with last year, according to the MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse report that was released on Tuesday. SpendingPulse, which tracks spending, said that's the weakest holiday performance since 2008 when sales dropped sharply, although the company did not know by how much.
The SpendingPulse data, which captures sales from Oct. 28 through Dec. 24 across all payment methods, is the first major snapshot of holiday retail sales. A clearer picture will emerge next week as retailers like Macy's and Target report monthly sales.
In the run-up to Christmas, analysts blamed bad weather for putting a damper on shopping. In late October, Superstorm Sandy battered the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states, which account for 24 percent of U.S. retail sales. That coupled with the presidential election, hurt sales during the first half of November.
Shopping picked up in the second half of November, but then the threat of the country falling off a "fiscal cliff" gained strength, throwing consumers off track once again. Lawmakers have yet to reach a deal that would prevent tax increases and government spending cuts set to take effect at the beginning of 2013. If the cuts and tax hikes kick in and stay in place for months, the Congressional Budget Office says the nation could fall back into recession.
Still, The National Retail Federation, the nation's largest retail trade group, said Wednesday that it's sticking to its forecast for total sales for November and December to be up 4.1 percent to $586.1 billion this year. That's more than a percentage point lower than the growth in each of the past two years, and the smallest increase since 2009 when sales were up just 0.3 percent.
Kathy Grannis, a spokeswoman for the group, noted that the trade group's definition of holiday sales not only includes clothes and electronics, but also food and building supplies.
"Stores have a big week ahead, and it's still too early to know how the holiday season fared, at this point," she said.

Protection Management, LLC: Security Consultant Offers Business ...
Security Consultant John M. White, CPP, recommends that businesses have firm policies on how employees will deal with aggressive customers.
Violence in the retail sector has increased.? "In the past the most a shoplifter might do was run, or an angry customer might have just yelled a lot.? However, now they are pulling knives or guns, or causing property damage in their fit of rage," said White.? He goes on to say that shoplifters seem to prefer to fight these days, verses getting arrested.
Businesses need to take this into consideration and train their staff on how to handle a situation that escalates quickly, and especially when a weapon is introduced.? Businesses can do little things to reduce their risks, such as train staff, and never put staff between an aggressive person and the exit door.? If someone wants out bad enough, then they will be willing to do harm to an employee to get past them.
Other business tips include;
? Removing all weapons and placing them in secure display cases.
? Insure that employees have a safe distance between them and the customer at the checkout counter.
? Train staff on how to react to a violent incident
? Train staff on how to deal with shoplifters and contacting the police
? Train staff on how to manage aggressive people
? Train staff how to spot danger before it happens
? Consider extra security during peak shopping events
There are numerous actions and training opportunities for businesses and their employees.? If when you have team meetings anyone brings up a concern, take it serious and address it then with everyone.? If one person has a concern, the chances are high that others share that same concern.
