HBT: Reds will have Chapman on innings limit

Aroldis Chapman is going to enter spring training next February as a starter. Should he also emerge as one, there will have to be a limit on the amount of innings that he throws in 2013 because he topped out at 71 2/3 frames as the Reds? closer in 2012.

But that innings limit won?t be all that strict.

Reds pitching coach Bryan Price told John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer on Wednesday afternoon that he will ?see where [Chapman] is in terms of innings and pitches after 25 or 30 starts.? Which is basically a full season for most healthy starting pitchers in the major leagues.

?We?ll know a lot more by the time we get to spring training,? Price added. ?I don?t think there?s an absolute. You have to have a plan and hope it works. Any time you have a young pitcher and he?s going to surpass his inning total, there?s going to be questions if he gets hurt.?We can?t be scared of that.?

Chapman has a dominant 2.33 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 14.1 K/9 in 135 career major-league innings.

The 25-year-old left-hander is under contract with the Reds through the conclusion of the 2015 season.

CNN names Jeff Zucker as new chief

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A young model was either insane, or a calculating, quick-thinking murderer who feigned mental illness when he killed and castrated his lover, a prominent Portuguese journalist, in their New York hotel room last year, a jury heard on Wednesday. No one disputes that Renato Seabra, 22, killed Carlos Castro, 65, in January 2011. Seabra pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to a charge of second degree murder, and his trial reached closing arguments at Manhattan criminal court. ...

New blow for Rice: Moderate senator voices concern

WASHINGTON (AP) ? A moderate Republican senator, vital to any White House hopes of getting U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice confirmed as secretary of state, said Wednesday she couldn't back any nomination until more questions are answered about the deadly Sept. 11 attack in Libya and Rice's State Department role during the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombing in Kenya.

In a fresh suggestion of eroding GOP support for Rice, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine emerged from a 90-minute, closed-door meeting with the ambassador voicing new criticism of her initial account about Libya. Collins also questioned what Rice, the assistant secretary of state for African Affairs in the Clinton administration, knew about requests for enhanced embassy security before the Nairobi truck bombing.

Pressed on how she would vote if President Barack Obama names Rice to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Collins said, "I would need to have additional information before I could support her nomination."

President Barack Obama came to Rice's defense during a Cabinet meeting, calling her "extraordinary" and saying he couldn't be prouder of the job she has done as U.N. ambassador. Cabinet members joined Obama in applauding Rice, who attended the meeting. Obama has not named a replacement for Clinton, who has said she intends to step down soon.

At the State Department, Clinton was asked about her possible replacement.

"Susan Rice has done a great job as our ambassador to the United Nations," Clinton said. "Of course, this decision about my successor is up to the president, but I am very happy he has the opportunity with a second term to make a decision."

The misgivings from Collins, the top Republican on the Homeland Security Committee, came one day after three other GOP senators said they would try to block Rice's nomination. Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire said they were more troubled than ever by Rice's answers on Libya even though the ambassador conceded that her much-maligned first explanation was wrong.

In an unusual move, Rice and acting CIA Director Michael Morell have held two days of private meetings with Republican senators in hopes of assuaging their concerns. Privately, Senate Republicans said they had hoped the conversations would quiet the criticism as they want to avoid the spectacle of a postelection challenge to a female African-American nominee.

Instead, the sessions have cast further doubt on her chances for the top State Department job and increased the likelihood of a protracted fight if Obama does choose her. Although Democrats will have 55 votes in the next Congress, the president would need the support of five Republicans to avoid a filibuster of the nomination. Collins would be a prime candidate to help avoid a filibuster of the nomination.

Collins said she was troubled by Rice's "political role" in downplaying the Libya attack as a spontaneous demonstration over an anti-Muslim video rather than a terrorist attack by al-Qaida affiliates in a series of Sunday talk show appearances on Sept. 16 ? five days after the attack and weeks before the election.

U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the raid on the U.S. diplomatic mission.

Rice has said she was relying on talking points provided by U.S. intelligence.

Introducing another issue certain to be fodder for any confirmation battle, Collins said she pressed Rice about security at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi in 1998 when a truck bomb was set off outside the facility, killing more than 200 Kenyans and 12 Americans.

"What troubles me so much is the Benghazi attack in many ways echoes the attacks on those embassies in 1998 when Susan Rice was head of the African region for our State Department," Collins told reporters after the meeting. "In both cases, the ambassador begged for additional security."

Collins said Rice told her she was not involved directly in turning down the request for improved security. The Maine senator said that in light of Rice's position, she had to be aware of the general threats and U.S. Ambassador Prudence Bushnell's requests for security upgrades in Kenya.

Review boards headed by former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Adm. William J. Crowe after the Aug. 7, 1998, bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania did not find reasonable cause that any U.S. employee breached his duty in connecting with the bombings. Rice was not blamed.

However, Crowe said the boards believed there was a "collective failure" by several administrations and Congress over a decade to invest adequately to shore up vulnerable U.S. diplomatic missions around the world.

Rice has emerged as the front-runner for the top job at State, though Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., passed over for the job in 2008, is considered a strong alternative.

In a clear message to the White House, Collins said Kerry would have no problem winning Senate confirmation.

"I think John Kerry be an excellent appointment and would be easily confirmed by his colleagues," Collins said.

Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, who is in line to become the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, was more circumspect about Rice's chances after his own meeting with the ambassador.

The GOP senator suggested that Obama "take a deep breath and nominate the person he really believes is the very best person for secretary of state, regardless of relationships."

Corker, who traveled to Libya in early October, was highly critical of the administration and the intelligence community, saying that "the whole issue of Benghazi has been a tawdry affair."

Democrats have rallied to defend Rice, casting the Republican criticism as political scapegoating.

"You know it's a shame to create a sideshow that seems, I think, very clearly to be very political out of something that really has no bearing on what happened in Benghazi," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Wednesday.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a member of the House Intelligence Committee, called the criticism a "transparent attempt" to deny Obama a potential Cabinet choice.

The issue remained at the forefront as the Senate, in debating a defense policy bill, approved an amendment by McCain that would lead to an increase of up to 1,000 Marine Corps personnel to provide security at U.S. diplomatic missions around the world.

Piraeus seen as gateway for Chinese exports to Europe

The presence of Cosco in the port of Piraeus is a strategic one and will have mutual benefits, the Chinese company?s head, Captain Wei Jiafu, said in a meeting on Tuesday with Greece?s Deputy Foreign Minister Dimitris Kourkoulas, who is on an official visit to China.

Captain Wei stressed that Piraeus can become the gateway for Chinese products to Europe, noting that Greece?s main port could emerge as a distribution hub both for Southeastern Europe and Western Asia.

He added that Cosco?s venture in Piraeus is a model for privatizations.

Rdio rolls out 2.0 update with a new look and new features

After having done its rounds in some beta testing, Rdio v2.0 has been deemed ready for the masses and is now available for download in the Google Play Store. We're used to seeing frequent updates to Rdio but this release is a whole lot more than simple bug fixes. Aside from a whole new user interface, Rdio has added a few other welcomed additions:

• New side-bar navigation — A new navigation panel pops open on the left side of the app to bring you to Your Music, Settings, Playlists, and other features.
• Remote control — The app will notify you if “Rdio is playing elsewhere.” Pause, skip, or play a station from wherever you are, or click “Play Here Instead” and your mobile device will pick up right where your laptop left off.
• Infinite scroll — You’ll never run out of new music to explore. Rdio loads more content as you scroll through Heavy Rotation, Top Charts, and New Releases.

Overall, the additions and improvements are nice though in my time with it, I did find it a little bit laggy -- maybe it just needs some to settle in. If you're an Rdio user, go ahead and grab the update and let us know in the comments how it's working for you.

Long putters to go belly up

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) ? Golf is proposing to ban the putting stroke used by three of the last five major champions.

The sport's ruling bodies announced a new rule Wednesday that would make it illegal to anchor the club in making a stroke. The proposed rule is aimed at belly putters and long putters that are pressed against the body. Keegan Bradley was the first player to win a major with the belly putter at the 2011 PGA Championship. Webb Simpson and Ernie Els used belly putters to win majors this year.

Officials say the golf stroke should be a free swing, and anchoring a club eliminates part of the skill.

The rule would apply to golfers at every level. It would not take effect until 2016.

HTC opens store-within-a-store in Germany, hopes it's your One-stop shop

Electronics giants who want to compete for retail attention but can't always justify a full presence have a common trick: open a mini store. Apple did it, Microsoft did it, and Samsung virtually based the Galaxy S III launch on it. HTC is next at bat. While it has its own stores in Asia and parts of Europe, the smartphone designer is trying out a store-within-a-store at the giant Saturn-Markt shop in Hamburg, Germany. Swing by and you can buy or test a device like the One X+ or Windows Phone 8X alongside accessories -- including Beats headphones, naturally -- with dedicated staff to help. HTC didn't immediately have details of larger plans when we reached out, but there's talk at MyDrivers of further such stores as well as seminars that would help make sense out of Sense. There's no guarantee that HTC will benefit from carving out its own retail space in what's often considered hostile territory; even so, the move can't hurt when the company is fighting for relevancy.

Euro zone to seek Greek aid deal without write-off

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Euro zone finance ministers and the International Monetary Fund began their third attempt in as many weeks to release emergency aid for Greece on Monday, with policymakers saying a write-down of Greek debt is off the table for now.

Greek Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras voiced confidence the ministers would finally reach a deal after Greece had fulfilled it's part of the deal by enacting tough austerity measures and economic reforms.

"I'm certain we will find a mutually beneficial solution today," he said on arrival for what was set to be another marathon meeting.

Greece, where the euro zone's debt crisis erupted in late 2009, is the currency area's most heavily indebted country, despite a big "haircut" this year on privately-held bonds. Its economy has shrunk by nearly 25 percent in five years.

EU Economic and Monetary Affairs Olli Rehn said it was vital to disburse the next 31 billion euro tranche of aid "to end the uncertainty that is still hanging over Greece". He urged all sides to "go the last centimeter because we are so close to an agreement".

Greece had met international lenders' conditions and "Now it is delivery time for the Eurogroup and the IMF," Rehn said.

Negotiations have been stalled over how Greece's debt, forecast to peak at almost 190 percent of gross domestic product next year, can be cut to a more sustainable 120 percent by 2020.

Without agreement on how to reduce the debt, the IMF has held up payments to Athens because there is no guarantee of when the need for emergency financing will end.

The key question is: Can Greek debt become sustainable without the euro zone writing off some of the loans to Athens?

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said on arrival that the solution must be "credible for Greece". The IMF argues that the debt can only be made manageable if euro zone governments forgive some of their loans to Athens, but Germany and its northern European allies have so far rejected any such idea.

DEBT RELIEF "NOT ON TABLE"

German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told reporters on arrival that a debt cut was legally impossible, not just in Germany but for other euro zone countries, if it was linked to a new guarantee of loans.

"You cannot guarantee something if you're cutting debt at the same time," he said. That might not preclude debt relief at a later stage if Greece has completed its adjustment program and no longer needs new loans.

The German banking association (BDB) said a fresh "haircut" or forced reduction in the value of Greek sovereign debt, must only happen as a last resort.

Two European Central Bank policymakers, vice-president Vitor Constancio and executive board member Joerg Asmussen, said debt forgiveness was not on the agenda for now.

"It has been clearly stated. It is not on the table. Everything else is just rumors," Constancio told reporters in Berlin.

Asmussen told Germany's Bild newspaper the package of measures would include a substantial reduction of interest rates on loans to Greece and a debt buy-back by Greece, funded by loans from a euro zone rescue fund.

So far, the options under consideration include reducing interest on already extended bilateral loans to Greece from the current 150 basis points above financing costs.

How much lower is not yet decided -- France and Italy would like to reduce the rate to 30 basis points (bps), while Germany and some other countries insist on a 90 bps margin.

Another option, which could cut Greek debt by almost 17 percent of GDP, is to defer interest payments on loans to Greece from the EFSF, a temporary bailout fund, by 10 years.

The European Central Bank could forego profits on its Greek bond portfolio, bought at a deep discount, cutting the debt pile by a further 4.6 percent by 2020, a document prepared for the ministers' talks last week showed.

Not all euro zone central banks are willing to forego their profits, however, the German Bundesbank among them.

Greece could also buy back its privately-held bonds on the market at a deep discount, with gains from the operation depending on the scope and price.

But the preparatory document from last week said that the 120 percent target could not be reached in 2020, only two years later, unless ministers accept losses on their loans to Athens, provide additional financing or force private creditors into selling Greek debt at a discount.

The latest analysis for the ministers showed the debt could come down to 125 percent of GDP in 2020, one euro zone official with insight into the talks said.

FORGIVING OFFICIAL LOANS?

To cut the debt more boldly, the IMF wants the euro zone to forgive Greece some of the official loans, in what is called Official Sector Involvement (OSI) in EU jargon.

"OSI is at the core of the problems with reaching a deal," one euro zone official with insight into the talks said.

German central bank governor Jens Weidmann has suggested that Greece could "earn" a reduction in debt it owes to euro zone governments in a few years if it diligently implements all the agreed reforms. The European Commission backs that view.

An opinion poll published on Monday showed Greece's anti-bailout SYRIZA party with a four-percent lead over the Conservatives who won election in June, adding to uncertainty over the future of reforms.

German paper Welt am Sonntag said on Sunday that euro zone ministers were considering a write-down of official loans for Greece from 2015, but gave no sources, and a euro zone official said such an option was never seriously discussed.

French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said on Sunday that euro zone ministers made big progress to reach a common position during at a conference call on Saturday in preparation for their talks with the IMF on Monday.

"We are very close to a solution," he said.

Moscovici mentioned the reduction of interest on bilateral loans, foregoing ECB profits on Greek bonds and the debt buy-back as the options that would need to be applied for a deal as well as additional financing for Athens to keep it funded until 2016, rather than only until 2014.

Galapagos tests new antibiotics for resistant bacteria

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgian biotechnology group Galapagos is testing a new class of antibiotics that could be used to combat bacteria that have become resistant to other forms of medication.

The group said on Monday that in laboratory tests its new candidate drug, CAM 1, showed better results than traditional antibiotics against the MRSA bacteria that can cause life-threatening infections, particularly for hospital patients.

Galapagos shares rose as much as 7 percent in early trading on Monday, adding to their 51 percent increase since the start of 2012.

The group, which has a series of drug development alliances with large pharmaceutical groups, signed a deal for its flagship arthritis drug GLPG634 with U.S. group Abbott Laboratories worth up to $1.35 billion.

The group said it hoped to enter clinical tests for CAM 1, which it fully owned, in 2014.

Galapagos should then proceed with further tests and proof of concept studies by early 2015, analyst Jan De Kerpel at KBC Securities wrote in a note to clients.

"We expect in the coming weeks substantial news flow from Galapagos which should convince investors that the company is more than just GLPG634," De Kerpel said.

Scientists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control warned earlier this month that due to bacteria becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics, patients could soon face a time when they are powerless to treat many of the most common infections.

Man arrested in Britain over killing of Northern Irish policeman

LONDON (Reuters) - A man from Northern Ireland was arrested in Britain on Monday in connection with the death of Northern Ireland policeman Ronan Kerr, who was killed in April last year when a bomb exploded under his car, the Police Service of Northern Ireland said.

The 22-year-old man, from Omagh in County Tyrone, was detained in Milton Keynes, England, as police widened their investigation to northwest England. Police said they were conducting searches in Northern Ireland and northwest England.

Kerr, 25, was the first policeman killed in the British-controlled province for two years. A Catholic, Kerr was a new recruit and a symbol of Northern Ireland's new police service, which before the peace deal was predominantly made up of Protestants and viewed with scepticism by many Catholics.

The arrest of the suspect, who was not named, was made by the North West Counter Terrorism Unit at the request of PSNI Serious Crime Branch detectives, according to the PSNI.

A prison officer, David Black, was shot and killed in his car earlier this month, and a group of militant Irish nationalists claimed responsibility.

International monitors confirmed in 2005 that the Provisional Irish Republican Army had given up all its weapons, but dissidents disenchanted with the peace process, which largely ended three decades of violence in which over 3,600 people died, have increased violent activity in recent years.

Earlier this year, militant nationalist groups in Northern Ireland united under the banner of the so-called New IRA.

According to your condition associated with house, work position and income, it is possible to be eligible for a loan up to $1500, and some creditors may lend no more than $500. You will have a possibility to observe how much you be eligible for prior to accepting just about any loan agreement.

There is an important legal big difference between a gift along with a loan. A really nice relative or perhaps good friend could give you $5000 regarding vehicle repairs, for instance. In case there isn't any expectation associated with repayment, the money can be viewed as a present. The particular giver couldn't sue with regard to repayment later on inside a civil fit. However, if the borrowed funds supplier designates the amount of money just like a bank loan and also the customer pays back even a buck, the cash can be viewed as a legitimate loan and also the loan company could demand payment anytime. Little statements legal courts spend much of time determining regardless of whether a deal including money would be a present as well as loan. For this reason paperwork is essential when making private lending options in order to pals as well as loved ones.

The needs to get a loan are quite obvious. If you are employed, having a monthly income of $800 or maybe more, and also a banking account, you satisfy the fundamental requirements. A number of loan companies inside our network might have additional requirements.

Money financial loans are unsecured financial loans eliminated upon the following wage. Since they are short-term financial loans, they can be small; various from $100 to $1500 as well as payment comes to the next payday. They could be very helpful for overcoming a quick financial crisis, yet shouldn't be thought to be a long-term fiscal option.

Many loan programs are addressed through finance institutions or any other expert loan companies. They might make use of a various criteria to find out if your potential client is skilled for a financial loan. Earlier credit rating is nearly usually considered, along with current income as well as assets. The goal of the money can also be a good issue-a set up expense opportunity could have a lot more appeal compared to an misguided concept for any new eating place. 1 essential point may be the revenue to credit card debt percentage from the client. May the customer have the ability to pay the loan back with interest? Skilled loan companies basically 'sell' money, consequently debtors must be aware simply how much funding actually 'costs' in relation to real money.

Switched On: The Three Cs of Wii U

In the pre-post-PC era, life was simpler for Nintendo and other successful competitors: Sell console. Sell discs. Repeat until wildly profitable. Six years ago, as Microsoft and Sony were taking part in a game of specification leapfrogging, Nintendo embraced casual and family gaming with the Wii even as it mostly ignored online play and convergent entertainment features. More than half a decade later, Sony has surpassed the original Wiimote with its Move controller and Microsoft has created a motion anti-controller with Kinect, but the Wii retains an advantage in that developers can assume the motion control is there.

• Sony's Wonderbook is PS Move-augmented reading, launches with J.K. Rowling's 'Book of Spells'

Today, everyone in the games business still adheres to the basic notion of compelling software selling hardware, but the source of that software and the manner through which it drives revenue has changed via models such as digital distribution, downloadable content, free-to-play, subscription and advertising. In addition, Nintendo has launched the Wii U into living rooms in which game consoles must compete not only with each other but with Blu-ray players, TiVos, Rokus and Apple TVs for physical connections as well as smart TVs and tablets as other sources of connected entertainment experiences. How it has addressed these challenges reveals much about what the company has held dear from the Wii, what it has reluctantly accepted and what it has now embraced.

The house in the roses: Family time...

Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving Day... So much to be thankful for; including YOU, and YOU, and all of YOU my dear readers (silent ones too)

I know you all had an extra special day, at least that's what I want to believe. ? I know I had some blessed couple of days... working all day Thursday and Friday at home... cleaning and prettying up things and cooking and baking and washing dishes and rearranging things again and again. Oh, believe me, this is pure joy to me! ?I am never too overwhelmed with holiday preparations; never too tired of working extra hard when it comes to my home and family...

My husband got me some roses from the market in my favorite color to embellish our table. Love them.

No big centerpiece, just simply the best I could ever had!

We had a house filled with people we love, amazing food simmering in the kitchen and plenty of pumpkin everything to finish off our day!

This is an absolute amazing recipe, absolute hit! Perfect texture, nice creamy density without being heavy. Just perfect amount of pumpkin flavor.

I have eaten this so many times and every time it is amazing. Our friends and family love when I make it. ?One thing I must remind you, however, if you're planning on making a cheesecake, is to not forget (like I did) to bake your cheesecake in a roasting pan of hot water to prevent cracks from happening. Hence all the extra amount of whipping cream on my cheesecake to cover cracks.

My daughter baked a yummy cherry pie. ?Super delicious too!

I was feeling very tired by the time the last piece of pie was served, but I had a wonderful little helper!

I washed the dishes while she swept the floors...

?and beyond!

Have a happy rest of weekend, everyone!

The better your content, the more interested your readers will be. Search engine optimization is important but a establishing a core group of readers will benefit your business in great ways.

Keywords will help you improve the visibility of your sites. Coordinate your keywords with your article topics. This makes it easier for search engines to index your work. It will be easier to draw new readers into your site. Place a keyword in the title, in the summary, and include it in the body about four to five times.

'Downton Abbey' renewed for a fourth season

By Georg Szalai, The Hollywood Reporter

Carnival Film & Television / Masterpiece

LONDON - U.K. TV network operator ITV plans to bring back hit show?Downton Abbey?for a fourth season. It announced the re-commission on Friday.

The costume drama, which stars?Maggie Smith?and others, finished its third season on ITV1 in early November with a season-high ratings performance, bringing to an end what the network said was the highest-rated season of the show to-date.

In its Sunday night slot, the series from?Julian Fellowes, who recently signaled optimism that the series would return, managed to beat music competition show?"X Factor"?late in the season in average viewership, even though peak viewership for X Factor typically outperformed "Downton."

ITV said that the third season of the period drama, which in the U.S. will start on PBS on Jan. 6, averaged 9.7 million viewers when including delayed viewing on the same day, for example via DVR. Season one had averaged 8.4 million viewers, and season two had averaged 9.5 million.

ITV, which will air a two-hour "Downton Abbey"?special on Christmas Day like it had done last year, has been expected to order a fourth season of the drama due to solid live viewership and boosts in delayed viewing. This year's holiday special sees Lord and Lady Grantham and family heading for a summer break in the Highlands of Scotland, leaving most of their servants back at home, ITV said Friday.

The fourth season will be set in the early 1920s and return to ITV in the fall of 2013, followed by an extended Christmas special. Filming is set to start in February.

Gareth Neame, managing director of NBCUniversal production label Carnival Films and executive producer of "Downton"?said the new season will include some new faces. ?Viewers can look forward to more drama, comedy, love, hatred, jealousy, rivalry, ambition, despair and romance,? he said.

Laura Mackie, director of drama at ITV, added: ?We?re thrilled to welcome back a drama series that has become a much anticipated part of all our lives every autumn and achieved success around the globe.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? One of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives was arrested in Mexico and returned to Los Angeles Friday night to face charges of murder, kidnapping and rape, U.S. officials said.

Reputed Los Angeles gang member Joe Luis Saenz was taken into custody in Guadalajara late Thursday following a joint operation with the Mexican government, said Bill Lewis, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles office.

Investigators said Saenz shot and killed two rival gang members in July 1998 to retaliate for an assault on one of his associates.

Saenz suspected Sigrieta Hernandez, his girlfriend and the mother of his daughter, was going to tell police about the slayings, investigators said. He is accused of kidnapping, raping and killing her less than two weeks later.

Saenz also is believed to have killed Oscar Torres at his home in suburban Whittier in October 2008 because he failed to repay $600,000 in drug money after police seized the cash during a traffic stop. Authorities said they have videotape from a surveillance camera at Torres' house that shows Saenz killing Torres and wounding another person.

Saenz, who is about 37 years old, was believed to be hiding in Mexico, working as an enforcer and hit man for a Mexican drug cartel.

Saenz had been on the FBI's most-wanted list since 2009, putting him among the ranks of Osama bin Laden, Boston crime lord James "Whitey" Bulger and other notorious criminals. There was a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to his arrest.

Sound Strategies For Successful Self Realization And Self ...

Study up on the hows and whys of self improvement if you want to achieve the best you can in personal growth. Personal development can take many forms, whether educational, spiritual or career oriented. Read on to learn some tips to help your self improvement.

Stop stressing the small stuff. Worrying can cause you undo stress about situations that have no guarantee of ever happening, resulting in negative consequences to your well-being. As an alternative, think about what the worse case scenario could be and plan how you would cope with it. This makes you feel prepared for the worst while still being able to focus on the best things in your life.

TIP! If you desire to be successful in life, you will need a respectable coach who knows what he or she is doing. Those who are very successful often have coaches or mentors to advise them.

A positive attitude will do wonders for your personal growth. If you do not have a good attitude you will never get as far as you could have. Stay positive and keep telling yourself that a pleasant, upbeat attitude is the way to reach your goals.

Set goals as to how you want your life to be and make them happen. If you sit in your chair thinking about how you would like your life to be, and you do nothing to make it happen, you will never get that life. You need to step up and pursue your goals to make them really happen.

Your body?s health influences the well-being of your mind. Be sure to get plenty of exercise and nourishment. If you have a strong body, you will have a strong mind.

TIP! Each day should be an opportunity to top the previous day?s accomplishments. Steady, unending improvement should be your goal.

It is often helpful to focus on one single improvement at a time. Even though you may want to develop several of your personal characteristics, your chances of doing this successfully are greatly increased if you concentrate on enhancing them one by one. This also helps ensure long-term change in your personality, as it will be easier for you to maintain new habits if they are introduced slowly.

During a period of personal development, failure can be an immense and hurtful blow to the self esteem and ego. Remember, that even failure is something you can use to improve yourself. Failure is sometimes a way of finding out where your true strengths are. Look at failure as another opportunity for you to improve and overcome.

Having a strong sense of self discipline, can really help you excel in achieving your personal development goals. Your body yearns to give into temptations, but you can control the desires with practice. Beat bad habits like gluttony, jealousy, lust or greed. Not only will you learn restraint, you will also keep your body healthy by refusing to participate in these harmful activities.

TIP! It can be helpful to choose a number to count to, like ten or higher, if you find yourself becoming extremely angry about something. Using deep breathing techniques, along with imagining yourself in a peaceful setting can really help to curb your anger.

Keep notes on your progress (or backsliding) in order to stick to an organized plan. By separating your goals into smaller pieces, completing the tasks will be easier and quicker. Monitor how you are doing using your daily planner, or you can make a journal that is specific to your goals for personal development.

Seek out those with similar positive attitudes. They?ll help you stay on track by being good role models for positive behavior, and you?ll better balance any negative energy you get from people who aren?t as supportive of your self-improvement goals.

Being selfless is an important part of self improvement. If you understand the importance of caring for others at your own expense, you can build stronger character. Being able to sacrifice for others and being able to get fulfillment, will help you develop into a more well-rounded person.

TIP! If you notice yourself struggling with the blues, try increasing the amount of complex carbs in your diet. A diet that is deficient in complex carbohydrates can lead to low serotonin levels.

Don?t overexert yourself physically when you are trying to achieve your goal. While you should always give it your all, understand when you have reached your limit. Your body must be taken care of when striving for your goals. Sacrificing your body to reach your goal is in fact contrary to the idea of improving yourself.

With any good self improvement goal, you should be able to see the distance between your current state and the one you want to achieve. You cannot successfully make the journey from here to there if you do not know the intervening territory. If you are unable to recognize this need, you will not be effective in developing yourself to your highest potential.

One important element of self improvement is attaining and maintaining good health. It takes motivation to maintain a healthy lifestyle, both through diet and exercise. If you make your health the priority, you will likely feel your best, which makes contributing to the different aspects of life easier.

TIP! A great personal development tip is to always use love to fuel your faith. Love is a vital ingredient to faith.

Like we talked about in the beginning, your self improvement means you need to expand what you know. It is also important to apply this knowledge. There are many ways to begin personal growth. Once you start using these tips, you?ll start to feel better about yourself.
