NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) ? More messages of hope and solidarity poured into Newtown on Monday as the town prepared to observe Christmas Eve 10 days after the elementary school massacre that claimed the lives of 20 first-graders and six teachers and administrators.

Two dozen children and six adults arrived at town hall in the morning to deliver hundreds of handmade cards and snowflakes collected as they toured the state in a charter bus.

One of the organizers, Gwen Samuel of Meriden, said "we just want them to know they're not alone in their journey."

The effort was intended to give Connecticut children a chance to express their feelings about the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Police say 20-year-old Adam Lanza killed his mother before going on the shooting rampage, then committed suicide. If they know why he shot his way into the school and gunned down 26 people, they have not said.

In the week since the shooting, messages similar to the ones delivered Monday have poured into Newtown from all over the world. People have donated toys, books, money and more.

"We know that they'll feel loved. They'll feel that somebody actually cares," said 15-year-old Treyvon Smalls of Middlebury, a few towns away from Newtown. "It gives us all a chance to speak out."

As Treyvon and the students traveling with him delivered their notes, another group of roughly two dozen people met in the town hall auditorium for a prayer service that was as much therapy session as religious gathering. Attendees expressed their sorrow and fears and looked to each other for support as they talked about what happened.

The town hall has become a gathering point for those dropping off donations and in need of a place to congregate and find comfort in one another. A "'peace tree" created out of a log and adorned with a heart-shaped wreath, numerous peace signs and Christmas decorations sit in front of the town hall steps, where a large banner proclaims, "Together we birth a culture of peace."

Karen Pierce, one of the town hall's elected building managers, has been helping accept the deluge of donations and expressions of support that have been coming in all week.

"We've had people from all over the country. It is incredible, it's heartwarming, it's overwhelming. It's invigorating and exhausting," she said. "It's so uplifting and I believe that's what's been getting people through."

The town has been so inundated with donations for children that Pierce said she has redistributed some to other children dropping off their own notes and donations, saying that with their acts of kindness they too have qualified to be children of Newtown.

On Monday, she gave each of the children dropping off cards a golden stuffed monkey. She chose gold, she said, because it symbolizes a new dawn that everyone needs.

"At the same time we have this outpouring and we want to make sure we give respect for every phone call, every card, every gift, every flower, every kind word," she said. "And so that's one of the things that everyone in the community is trying to do is make sure while people are honoring us, that's the big question, how do you say to the world 'Thank you?'"

Later Monday, people throughout Newtown were expected to light luminaries outside in memory of those killed.

The idea was hatched by Nicole Russo of Fairfield, who has two nephews who attend Sandy Hook Elementary School and were unharmed. She decided to bring her neighborhood's Christmas tradition of lighting the way for Santa to Newtown.

"My husband and I were saying we feel so helpless, you know, we're 30 miles away and we're helpless," she said.

After a group of her friends got together and started a 'Luminaries of Love' outreach campaign, about 40,000 bags were donated for their project, with Yankee Candle donating 10,000 candles.

The free bags and candles were quickly scooped up on Sunday in a couple of hours with many people offering cash donations that could help fund the project in the future.

"I want to do it every year," Russo said. "We don't ever want to forget."

Sensory Persuasion For Sensible Marketing - Work On the Internet

The new age marketing scenario is extremely aggressive in its promotion and sales tactics and media exploitation techniques. The pressures on modern day businesses to keep up with constant competition in meeting consumer demands, and maintaining popularity in the market, has been driving marketersinto introducing innovative ideas and styles into the field, and to keep on constantly experimenting with all sorts of advertising trends. All kinds of traditional platforms like news papers, banners, radio and television are still being fully exploited, along with modern day avenues like the internet and other visual medias. All sorts of promotions through email marketing, pop ups, search engine optimizations, online catalogue shops and web ads are filling up the internet, and direct marketing options are being revolutionized by firms that deal with experiential marketing gimmicks for bringing about quick and effective changes in meeting sales targets.

Many businesses in the small scale market, and the international corporate arena, are concentrating on employing unique attention grabbing and outstanding ad promotions, that register impressively in the minds of the audience and reign in customers, by etching their name in the audience memory. Guerilla marketing stunts are forever being crafted and presented in public spaces, and are creating waves in the advertisement arena. The best experiential marketing firms have already established their names in the business field, with their team of innovative marketers regularly coming up with the most effective and successful ad campaigns. They are experienced in providing customers with interactive platforms, where they can try out the new products or business services to test their credibility, and the special promotions are tested out through sensory aspects of sight touch or taste, to etch the experience in the mind and memory of the prospective customer.

This speeds up the audience in connecting with the promoted brand, and creates a niche for the product in their list of preferences, by letting them judge independently and intelligently by comparing with already patronized products. Experiential marketing can boost up revolutionary sales margins in introductory products, as this type of publicity is strategically different from other conventional types of ad campaigns, which only informs or reminds the customer of the arrival or existence of a specific product in the market, and doesn???t give chance for hands on comparison with other products.

Although this type of marketing through sensory experience was prevalent in the food industry, especially in patisseries, for informing regular customers of the introduction of new menus and tastes, it is only in the recent times that this kind of strategy has been tried out in all sorts of other products and services. In the computer and information arena itself, the introduction of certain informative sites, introductory free usage of antivirus packages and basic trial offers of all kinds of downloadable services, are examples of experiential marketing. Special Media Agency gimmicks like Pop Up Shops, introductory Freebies, smart vending machines and interactive installations in popular public spaces are quite effective in creating impressions beyond ordinary ads, and are usually quick in covering initial publicity costs and raising profit margins discernibly.

Visualized: Carina Nebula captured with a 268-megapixel camera

Combine a state-of-the-art telescope with a 268-megapixel camera, point it at the sky, add in a bit of calculation and you could end up with a gorgeous photo of the Carina Nebula. That's exactly what the ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile did recently with its brand new VLT Survey Telescope -- just a portion of the resulting inaugural image is shown above. This isn't the first time the ESO has shown a love for large captures: it managed to stitch together a massive 9-gigapixel image of the Milky Way out of thousands of photographs taken with its VISTA telescope earlier this fall. However, with the 2.6-meter VLT and 268-megapixel OmegaCAM camera, the observatory is able to capture huge swaths of sky at a time -- no need for stitching here. The ESO says that it's the "largest telescope in the world exclusively dedicated to surveying the sky at visible wavelengths." As for the Carina Nebula, the star formation region is a popular choice among astronomers trying out new telescopes, and seeing how mesmerizing it is, we can't fault them for it. Click the source link below to see the whole image in all its zoomable glory.

Syria envoy Brahimi to meet Clinton, Lavrov on Thursday

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will meet international Syria mediator Lakhdar Brahimi in Dublin on Thursday to try to put a U.N. peace process for Syria back on track, diplomatic sources said.

The talks come ahead of a meeting of the Western-backed "Friends of Syria" group in Marrakech next week which is expected to boost support for rebels fighting to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"They will speak about a plan (or) common understanding on how to move forward," one source said of Thursday's meeting, which will take place on the sidelines of an Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) gathering.

A senior U.S. State Department official confirmed Clinton had accepted Brahimi's invitation to the afternoon meeting.

Rebels have made advances across Syria in recent weeks, despite punishing air raids, and have stepped up fighting outside Damascus, where fighting raged on Wednesday in an arc of suburbs on the capital's eastern outskirts.

Assad's family has ruled Syria for 42 years and the Syrian president has vowed to fight to the death in a conflict that has killed an estimated 38,000 people and risks sucking in other countries.

Opposition sources said on Wednesday rebels, riven by deep divisions and rivalries, were trying to restructure their leadership across Syria in an effort to secure foreign funding for their armed revolt.

Brahimi has called for world powers to issue a U.N. Security Council resolution based on a June deal they reached to set up a transitional government in a bid to end the bloodshed in Syria.

The Geneva Declaration, which was agreed when Kofi Annan was international mediator, called for a transitional administration but did not specify what role, if any, Assad would have.

RUSSIAN, CHINESE OPPOSITION

The United States and its allies want Assad to step down but are at odds with China and Russia over what role he should have in the process and whether the U.N. Security Council should pass tough measures to punish non-compliance by the Assad government.

Annan's plan also called for Syrians to be allowed to demonstrate freely, the release of political prisoners and an immediate halt to violence. But it did not resolve the question of arms sales to Syria and a host of other issues.

As violence continued in Syria unabated, Western countries proposed a new resolution at the U.N. Security Council in July aimed at putting direct pressure on Assad by threatening more sanctions if his troops did not stop using heavy weapons and withdraw troops from towns and cities within 10 days.

However, Russia and China for the third time vetoed the resolution saying it represented a direct effort to interfere in Syria's internal affairs.

Annan stepped down in August, saying divisions in the Security Council made his plan unworkable.

The United States and its allies said the plan failed because of Assad's refusal to abide by its provisions and Russia and China's refusal to hold Assad accountable at the Security Council.

The United States said it would focus its efforts on rallying support outside the U.N. system for more help for Syria's opposition.

Stocks wobble as Europe holds off on stimulus

NEW YORK (AP) ? The stock market wobbled between small gains and losses in morning trading Thursday.

The Dow Jones industrial average was up 13 points at 13,047 as of 11:21 a.m. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose three points to 1,412 and the Nasdaq composite rose 17 points to 2,991.

Apple rose $10.40 to $549.19, a day after taking its worst fall in four years. In separate interviews, CEO Tim Cook said Apple will produce one of its existing lines of Mac computers in the United States next year and will spend $100 million in 2013 to shift production of the line from China.

Europe's Central bank cut its growth forecast for next year and left its benchmark interest rate unchanged. European unemployment continues to rise even though rates remain at record lows.

The U.S. Labor Department said unemployment benefits applications dropped 25,000 last week to 370,000, a level consistent with modest hiring. The decline was also a sign that the spike in applications caused by Superstorm Sandy has faded.

The report comes a day before the government releases its closely watched jobs survey. Private economists forecast that hiring in November sank sharply from the previous month. The unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 7.9 percent. Some economists say the storm could cause the Labor Department's hiring figures to be much lower.

Among other stocks making big moves:

H&R Block jumped 4 percent after posting revenue and earnings that beat analysts' estimates. The country's largest tax preparation company reported a smaller loss, helped by cost-cutting efforts. It typically turns in a loss in the August-to-October period because it takes in most of its revenue during the U.S. tax season. H&R Block gained 77 cents to $18.14.

Men's Wearhouse dropped $1.49 to $29.86 after the men's clothing company's third-quarter results missed Wall Street's estimates. The company also cut its full-year and fourth-quarter profit forecasts.

Boeing fell 45 cents to $73.42. United Airlines said a failed electrical generator in one of its new Boeing 787s caused the plan to make an emergency landing in New Orleans, shortly after taking off from Houston.

In the market for U.S. government bonds, the yield on the 10-year note slipped to 1.57 percent. That's down from 1.59 percent late Wednesday.

For the month, the S&P 500 is down 0.5 percent and the Dow is up 0.1 percent. The Nasdaq has lost 1.2 percent.

Obese death-row inmate says he should be spared

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) ? A condemned obese killer should be spared because of lingering doubts about his "legal and moral guilt" and the conduct of defense and prosecution lawyers at trial, his attorneys told the state Parole Board on Thursday in a bid for clemency focusing on his innocence, not his weight.

Death row inmate Ronald Post is fighting his January execution on the grounds that he is so fat he can't be humanely executed and will suffer cruel and unusual punishment as the state struggles to find his veins or give him enough drugs to put someone his size to death.

That argument is in the federal courts, while the 450-pound Post pursues an innocence claim unrelated to his weight before the parole board. The panel considers requests for mercy before making a recommendation to Gov. John Kasich, who has the final say.

Attorneys for Post made presentations to the parole board Thursday followed by prosecutors from Lorain County and the attorney general's office.

Post, 53, was sentenced to die for the 1983 shooting of Elyria motel clerk Helen Vantz during a robbery. Vantz' sons, William and Michael, both attended Thursday's hearing.

At a break, both said they believe firmly in Post's guilt. William Vantz also had harsh words for Post's obesity claim.

"It's just another way for a coward to try and get out of what debt he owes to society," Vantz said.

The long-held presumption that Post confessed to the murder to several people has been falsely exaggerated, Post's attorneys argue. Post admitted involvement in the crime as the get-away driver to a police informant but did not admit to the killing.

"Sure ain't no murderer," Post told that informant, according to Post's clemency filing.

Doubt about Post's guilt lingers because of the involvement of two other men in the shooting, Post's attorneys argue. Post pleaded no contest to the crime on the advice of his attorney in expectation he would receive a life sentence, the attorneys argue. Even after his plea, he told a psychologist "he was not a murderer."

The attorneys also argue that prosecutors misrepresented to the judge that Post had confessed to sole involvement in Vantz's death.

They also say a police detective served as a "double agent" on the case, performing a lie detector test on Post for the defense team while working for the state to perform a similar test on an alleged conspirator in the motel shooting. The detective, "an agent of Post's defense team, violated a basic duty of loyalty and confidentiality to Post," the inmate's attorneys said.

"Lingering doubts exist about the degree of Ronald Post's legal and moral guilt," public defenders Joe Wilhelm and Rachel Troutman told the board in a written request for mercy.

"The death penalty should be reserved for cases where proof of guilt is reliable and the legal system produced a just result," they said. "Neither criteria is met in this case."

The Lorain County prosecutor argues that Post was the killer and as evidence points to Post's written no-contest plea in which he acknowledged responsibility for the crime.

That admission is "a compelling reason" why the board should reject clemency, Lorain County prosecutor Dennis Will said in a filing to the board before the hearing.

"Even though some of Post's personal admissions of criminal actions did not include an express and explicit personal admission that he was the shooter of Helen Vantz, all of Post's admissions amount to a confession by Post that he committed crimes at the Slumber Inn," Will wrote.

He also noted that Post signed a document prepared by the detective who conducted the lie detector test acknowledging he killed Vantz.

A federal judge plans a hearing later this month on Post's obesity claims.
