"Whether You Think You Can or you can't... you're right"--Henry Ford
For example, if you think something is not possible or out of your reach, you're probably not going to commit much energy and resources to accomplishing that goal...Old habits die slowly because they are driven by an outdated mindset... In order to replace old habits though a change in your mindset, there are three steps you should follow:
1. First, begin by specifically identifying the results you want.
2. Then create and develop actions that will accomplish those results.
3. Lastly, examine your beliefs about those actions to determine if they are holding you back...
So if you want to achieve your goals, create a mindset made of beliefs that support the truth you want in your future."

Ishant Sharma picked up his fourth wicket of the innings when he dismissed the number 11, Stuart Clark for a nought. Clark drove from the crease, with the ball taking an edge and Dhoni completing the formalities. Australia were bundled out for 159, with Michael Hussey stuck at a well-paced unbeaten 65 at the other end.
Sreesanth then followed it up with another wicket of Bracken in his next over. Bracken tried to go over the top, but could only manage to hole out to Tendulkar, who took the simplest of catches. Australia, 155/9.

The Stanford University School of Medicine watched the brains of 22 young adults, 11 male and 11 female, checking for patterns of activity in certain parts of the brain. It seems that the male subjects experienced more of what a bad scientist would call "fun units" in a section of the brain associated with reward and addiction, and as their territory in the game increased the "fun units" did as well.
The report went on to note that the sun is hot and chocolate ice cream is delicious.

By Sudeep Reddy
Federal Reserve officials are acknowledging increasing weakness in the
economy, signaling a willingness to cut rates again at their next
meeting. But inflation concerns are rising among some officials,
indicating the magnitude of their next move may be a matter of
contention.
In speeches this week, policy makers said they are expecting a sharp
economic slowdown during the first half as the housing slump, credit
crunch and market turmoil take a toll on consumers and businesses.
Janet Yellen, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco,
said in a speech yesterday that she expects the economy to escape
recession ...

India's Budget Reaches Out To the Poor as Election Looms (wsj)
In what amounts to a starting gun for the next general election, India's government tomorrow will unveil a budget designed to reconnect the ruling Congress Party with its traditional voters: the poor.
In most likely the last budget before voters go to the polls in a general election that must be held before May 2009, Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram is expected to open state coffers to help India's lagging agriculture sector and depressed rural areas with infrastructure projects, subsidies on key products and programs for skills development. He also may scale back income tax for low earners. ...

Ishant Sharma picked up his fourth wicket of the innings when he dismissed the number 11, Stuart Clark for a nought. Clark drove from the crease, with the ball taking an edge and Dhoni completing the formalities. Australia were bundled out for 159, with Michael Hussey stuck at a well-paced unbeaten 65 at the other end.
Sreesanth then followed it up with another wicket of Bracken in his next over. Bracken tried to go over the top, but could only manage to hole out to Tendulkar, who took the simplest of catches. Australia, 155/9.

Study Shows Men More Likely to Get Hooked
A recent study suggests that men are more likely to become addicted to videogames. Another more informal study shows that researchers are more likely to prove obvious things.
The Stanford University School of Medicine watched the brains of 22 young adults, 11 male and 11 female, checking for patterns of activity in certain parts of the brain. It seems that the male subjects experienced more of what a bad scientist would call "fun units" in a section of the brain associated with reward and addiction, and as their territory in the game increased the "fun units" did as well.
The report went on to note that the sun is hot and chocolate ice cream is delicious.

Mounting Inflation Concerns Weigh on the Fed's Next Move (wsj)
By Sudeep Reddy
Federal Reserve officials are acknowledging increasing weakness in the
economy, signaling a willingness to cut rates again at their next
meeting. But inflation concerns are rising among some officials,
indicating the magnitude of their next move may be a matter of
contention.
In speeches this week, policy makers said they are expecting a sharp
economic slowdown during the first half as the housing slump, credit
crunch and market turmoil take a toll on consumers and businesses.
Janet Yellen, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco,
said in a speech yesterday that she expects the economy to escape
recession ...

BREAKING NEWS
Pakistan's Bhutto killed in attack
By SADAQAT JAN and ZARAR KHAN, Associated Press
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan - Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday in a suicide attack that also killed at least 20 others at the end of a campaign rally, aides said.
The surgeons confirmed that she has been martyred," Bhutto's lawyer Babar Awan said.
A party security adviser said Bhutto was shot in neck and chest as she got into her vehicle to leave the rally in Rawalpindi near the capital Islamabad. A gunman then blew himself up.
"At 6:16 p.m. she expired," said Wasif Ali Khan, a member of Bhutto's party who was at Rawalpindi General Hospital where she was taken after the attack.
Her supporters at the hospital began chanting "Dog, Musharraf, dog," referring to Pakistan's president Pervez Musharraf.
Some smashed the glass door at the main entrance of the emergency unit, others burst into tears. One man with a flag of Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party tied around his head was beating his chest.
In Washington, the State Department said it was seeking confirmation of Bhutto's condition.
"Certainly, we condemn the attack on this rally," deputy spokesman Tom Casey said. "It demonstrates that there are still those in Pakistan who want to subvert reconciliation and efforts to advance democracy."
The United States has for months been encouraging Musharraf to reach an accommodation with the opposition, particularly Bhutto, who was seen as having a wide base of support in Pakistan. Her party had been widely expected to do well in parliamentary elections set for next month.
At least 20 others were killed in the blast that took place as Bhutto left the rally where she addressed thousands of supporters in her campaign for Jan. 8 parliamentary elections.
Bhutto served twice as Pakistan's prime minister between 1988 and 1996. She had returned to Pakistan from an eight-year exile Oct. 18.
On the same day, her homecoming parade in Karachi was also targeted by a suicide attacker, killing more than 140 people. On that occasion she narrowly escaped injury.

BREAKING NEWS
Pakistan's Bhutto killed in attack
By SADAQAT JAN and ZARAR KHAN, Associated Press
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan - Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday in a suicide attack that also killed at least 20 others at the end of a campaign rally, aides said.
The surgeons confirmed that she has been martyred," Bhutto's lawyer Babar Awan said.
A party security adviser said Bhutto was shot in neck and chest as she got into her vehicle to leave the rally in Rawalpindi near the capital Islamabad. A gunman then blew himself up.
"At 6:16 p.m. she expired," said Wasif Ali Khan, a member of Bhutto's party who was at Rawalpindi General Hospital where she was taken after the attack.
Her supporters at the hospital began chanting "Dog, Musharraf, dog," referring to Pakistan's president Pervez Musharraf.
Some smashed the glass door at the main entrance of the emergency unit, others burst into tears. One man with a flag of Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party tied around his head was beating his chest.
In Washington, the State Department said it was seeking confirmation of Bhutto's condition.
"Certainly, we condemn the attack on this rally," deputy spokesman Tom Casey said. "It demonstrates that there are still those in Pakistan who want to subvert reconciliation and efforts to advance democracy."
The United States has for months been encouraging Musharraf to reach an accommodation with the opposition, particularly Bhutto, who was seen as having a wide base of support in Pakistan. Her party had been widely expected to do well in parliamentary elections set for next month.
At least 20 others were killed in the blast that took place as Bhutto left the rally where she addressed thousands of supporters in her campaign for Jan. 8 parliamentary elections.
Bhutto served twice as Pakistan's prime minister between 1988 and 1996. She had returned to Pakistan from an eight-year exile Oct. 18.
On the same day, her homecoming parade in Karachi was also targeted by a suicide attacker, killing more than 140 people. On that occasion she narrowly escaped injury.
