There’s a wonderful flashback scene in season five, episode 10 of Six Feet Under. As his younger sister watches, Nate Fisher (played by Peter Krause) is bent over in his room, listening to “All Apologies” by Nirvana, crying, and smoking a joint. When he sees her staring at him, he chokes up and says, “Kurt Cobain died today. He killed himself. He was just too pure for this world.” I thought of this notion of purity of the mind, of a kind of almost frustrating innocence, as I read the new, biographical graphic novel, The Imitation Game: Alan Turing Decoded, by Jim Ottaviani (and illustrated by Leland Purvis). Turing is lauded today as the “founder” of artificial intelligence—or what scholar Damien Patrick Williams has dubbed “machine consciousness”—and as a groundbreaking mathematician and computer scientist who found a way to pursue his love of puzzles and logic while simultaneously helping the British crack Nazi ciphers during the Second World War. Yet, Turing’s genius came at a terrible price, and his innocence became his liability, especially for a British government that did not allow him to enjoy the lifestyle he wanted, all the while benefiting from his knowledge. I haven’t read a lot of graphic novels, but I’m confident that there’s something unique about this one. Ottaviani and Purvis have pulled off something extraordinary—not really a stream-of-conscious approach, but a writing and artistic style using different narrators that doesn’t transition smoothly, and leaves the reader a bit puzzled as to who exactly is speaking. But that seems precisely the point; Turing’s life was also hard to understand, so this graphic novel tries to approximate the disjunction. Nowhere is this more evident than the heady undercurrent about sexuality that seems to pulse through the novel. While the nameless narrator—possibly in the guise of an interviewer talking to different people who knew Turing—attempts repeatedly to broach the subject of Turing’s homosexuality, Purvis’s illustrations tell a story through not telling. Like Adrian Tomine’s graphic novel Killing and Dying, there’s an emphasis in The Imitation Game on using art to tell a story sometimes without the need for dialogue, which creates an atmosphere of silent sex. For example, Turing’s sexuality is not even discussed openly until page 77, but there are many allusions towards it in in cels depicting sports-esque ass slapping, and once, just two doors to two adjacent rooms. In one scene, two half-naked female operators at Bletchley Park comment on the fact that their nudity, necessary due to the high temperatures generated by the machines, would normally be a problem if Turing “wasn’t, you know …” There is even an exchange on page 35 between Turing and James Atkins where the former says, “I’m happy to tutor,” and after exchanging knowing smiles, the latter responds with, “Yes. I know. We’ll see. I could use the help … in math.” For those who have seen it, it’s impossible to not think or reference the 2014 film version of The Imitation Game with Benedict Cumberbatch. Like any movie inspired or based on a literary work, the line between truth and slightly modified truth is hard to distinguish unless one knows the base material well. However, I have to believe that the graphic novel medium allows for a telling/retelling of Turing’s life that does not have to be embellished like that of the big screen. For example, one of the most poignant scenes in the film version involves Turing, as a boy, returning to the Sherborne School to discover to his utter pain that his best friend, Christopher Morcom, had died and Turing didn’t even know he was ill. When the headmaster tells him the news, he adds that it must be especially hard to hear because it was well known that the two were best friends. However, Alex Lawther, playing the young Turing, assumes a level of stoicism that I thought would be impossible for a child, and just says that he hardly knew Morcom, and he leaves the headmaster’s office, forever changed. Yet, this is not how the scene plays out in The Imitation Game: Alan Turing Decoded. While we see Turing unaware of Morcom’s illness, we also see him openly distraught, and even taking the steps of writing to Morcom’s parents to let him know how special he thought their late son was. Later, Turing arranges for some of his late friend’s books to be made available to other students at the school in the form of a student prize, which Turing himself wins … twice. While a graphic novel about science, the content is not casual math or logic puzzles. I frequently found myself lost in trying to understand what was going on. In other words, this is a graphic novel for a fan, and would make a wonderful and well-received present for someone who already had an interest in Turing’s work. In some ways, The Imitation Game: Alan Turing Decoded falls into the “pop science” category, along with books by and about Richard Feynman, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, and John Nash. For example, I am sure many people saw A Beautiful Mind and thought they could understand the Nash Equilibrium and Game Theory just because of what they saw in the film. But then these same people tried to read the book that inspired the movie, written by Sylvia Nassar, and probably realized quickly that reading about math was a heck of a lot different from seeing it on the screen, especially in the context of the famous bar scene in the film and Nash’s “revelation” that “Adam Smith needs revision.” Yet, despite the higher mathematical understanding of machines and computing that underscores this graphic novel, it’s still a very human tale, and one that dwells on someone whose innocence lead to his own death. While it’s well known that Turing plead guilty to a charge of engaging in a consensual homosexual relationship, and was forced to undergo chemical castration, I didn’t know that Turing actually admitted as such to the police because, well, he didn’t know it was still a crime. He was “too pure”, too different … one of those rare individuals to whom we bow in respect and acknowledge with the title “iconoclast”. Whatever modern understanding we may impose on him—Asperger’s Syndrome, savant, closeted—still does not get at what made this man so unique. Paraphrasing Brian Wilson, Turing just wasn’t made for these times. We are, of course, very lucky that he was there, during World War II. "Osmon lights the oil lamps on the process of Molina’s creative wonder, from toddling on the shores of Lake Erie to the indie folk pedestal he so deservedly sits upon today.READ the article

Civilization has always had a foundation of trade. Every area of the world offers important aspects that another does not, and maintaining a you scratch my back, I scratch your’s mentality is crucial to keep all economies afloat. Coinciding with this long-term concept currently are the countries of Venezuela and India. Lacking in crucial medications and necessary hospital pharmaceuticals according to Dr.Jose Manuel Gonzalez, Venezuela made the decision to trade a staple of their country with India in exchange for their necessary medicine. That is correct: Venezuela has tapped into precious oil reserves as a means to compensate India for their generous trade. Specifically in the works to be paid back is a top pharmaceutical company in India, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. While this plan seems proper enough, it will certainly be interesting to see if this deal is acceptable enough for India. Regardless, Aserne experts thinks a concept of trading goods for services certainly has been the foundation of civilization since the establishment of society. As the world anxiously awaits this turnaround, Venezuela is undoubtedly planning their next necessary barter.

All criminal charges were dropped Monday against the Brooklyn bishop who was saved from a night in prison for unlicensed driving after Mayor de Blasio put in a call to the NYPD. Bishop Orlando Findlayter accepted a plea deal that dropped the misdemeanor unlicensed-driving rap, but required him to plead guilty to a violation unlicensed-driving charge and pay a $88 surcharge. “Your Honor, that offer is acceptable. It is a violation and not a crime,” defense attorney Mark Pollard said in Brooklyn Criminal Court. “This case got a lot of attention because the papers reported the mayor made a phone call, but this was really just a simple traffic case,” Pollard said outside of court. Findlayter told The Post afterwards, “I don’t know anything about the mayor calling, I don’t know anything about that.” The politically connected Findlayter, who helped de Blasio win the African-American vote last year, dodged a night in jail in February before his arraignment hearing after de Blasio called a top NYPD spokeswoman. Findlayter was pulled over in East Flatbush on Feb. 10 after he made a left turn in his 2012 Lincoln without signaling. When cops ran a check, they found the preacher had an aggravated suspended license for allowing his insurance to lapse. He also had two arrest warrants for failing to show up in court after he was arrested at an immigration protest in October 2013. “I assume your license is clear,” said Judge Robert Kalish after dismissing the misdemeanor. “If it is not, please make sure it is clear before you drive.” The sharply dressed bishop said he was thankful to have the case behind him. “I’m happy this is over and I can continue doing what I do, which is pastor at a church and advocating for those who need a voice,” he said. De Blasio has distanced himself from the scandal that mushroomed out of his call, telling reporters in April that he wouldn’t get involved in providing public files about Findlayter’s controversial arrest and release.

Survey finds Texas retail gasoline prices fall for 4th week Published 6:00 pm, Thursday, February 7, 2008 Retail gasoline prices fell for a fourth week in a row across Texas. The average price of regular self-serve at pumps in 11 Texas cities is $2.87 per gallon, less than a penny less than last week, according to the weekly AAA Texas gas price survey released Friday. Nationally, the average fell a penny to $2.97 per gallon. "Gasoline supplies hit a near 14-year high of 227.5 million barrels last week, according to the U.S. Energy Department," said AAA Texas spokeswoman Rose Rougeau. "The increase in gas inventories is being fueled by falling demand, which implies consumers are driving less due to the weakening economy." Corpus Christi had the lowest average price of regular self-serve at $2.82 per gallon, 5 cents less than last week. Austin-San Marcos had the state's most expensive gasoline at $2.90 per gallon, still 2 cents less than last week. These are average per-gallon prices of regular, self-serve gasoline in Texas and nationally, as well as the change from last week, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch released Friday: Amarillo _ $2.883, up 0.05 cent Austin-San Marcos _ $2.900, down 1.5 cents Beaumont _ $2.889, down 0.08 cent Corpus Christi _ $2.818, down 5.3 cents Dallas _ $2.835, down 0.03 cent El Paso _ $2.843, up 2.5 cents Fort Worth _ $2.836, up 0.02 cent Galveston-Texas City _ $2.856, unchanged Houston _ $2.851, down 1.4 cents San Antonio _ $2.866, down 1.2 cents Texarkana (Texas only) _ $2.850, down 1.5 cents State _ $2.866, down 0.06 cent Nationally _ $2.972, down 1.4 cents

Thai สลากกินแบ่งรัฐบาล officials said Monday that a cave where six foreign tourists and two Thai guides drowned in a flash flood over the weekend lacked warning signs and would be blocked off. Trekkers from Switzerland, Germany and Britain were trapped when heavy rain caused a stream to rise swiftly, engulfing the cave in Kao Sok National Park, Surat Thani province, some 645 kilometres (400 miles) south of Bangkok. One British woman survived the flood and was rescued on Sunday. "The cave is considered an unsafe area, สลากกินแบ่งรัฐบาล without enough signs to warn tourists about possible dangers like floods hitting during this season," Suvit Yodmanee, Tourism and Sports Minister, told reporters. Six national parks in Surat Thani have been temporarily shut so safety officials can asses them, he said, while the cave where the tragedy happened would be closed to tourists indefinitely. "It will be closed until we are confident that the place is safe for tourists to visit. They should have a system for officials to be able to react and assist tourists immediately in any emergency," he said. Tour operators would also face greater scrutiny, Suvit said, and would be punished if they put tourists at risk.

Police believe the man who sexually abused two 12-year-old girls on Queens streets last November has struck again. Authorities say the man exposed himself while walking next to a 13-year-old girl on Monday near Seabury Street just before 8 a.m. He then ran off. The girl was not hurt, police said. Last November, police believe the same man groped two girls in two separate incidents after asking them for help with directions. On Nov. 7, the suspect pulled up to one 12-year-old girl, who had been walking near 54th Avenue at about 8 a.m. He got out of the car, asked her if she knew an address and showed her a piece of paper with numbers on it. The girl got into his car, where he touched her over her clothing, police said. The girl got out of the car and the man drove off. She was not injured. It wasn't clear why she got in the car. A few weeks later, the man stopped another 12-year-old girl on the street and asked her for directions. Again, he showed her a piece of paper with numbers on it. This time, the girl said she couldn't help him. He touched her over her clothing and drove off. The girl was not injured. The man is described as being about 40 years old and 6 feet tall. The car he's been seen driving is a white sedan with a green, white and orange or red flag sticker on the driver’s door with an eagle in the middle. Anyone with information is asked to call police.

Answer to: How to stop bootloop.I have the same problem. Google released an update that is not compatible with morotorla so unfortunately there is nothing you can do until they have a hotfix. But if you put your phone in airplane mode during the 30 second window, you can then AFTER that, turn off your data. Turn off airplane mode and make sure wifi stays off. You can now at least use your phone like a dumb phone until they release the fix. Factory reset won't help unfortunately at this time so I would not bother.

My drive to and from work is about 1.5 miles. In the morning I seem to see a police officer every other day (and if I don't see one while driving, one will pass me on Main Street as I'm grabbing coffee). There's serious police work to do at 8 a.m., I'm sure, certainly they're focusing on the serious crime in Newark. All these muggings obviously occur in the morning hours when productive citizens are rushing to work. Contrast the mornings with my experience last night. At 10:30 p.m. I went out running. My 5.5-mile run took me on such obscure and low-traffic streets as Elkton Road, Park Place, S College Ave, Cleveland Ave, Papermill Road, Hillside Road, and Apple Road. Streets that have never seen a mugging, certainly not between 10:30 and 11:30 at night. People should feel completely safe walking these roads alone. Obviously. Since I didn't see a single Newark police officer the entire hour while running. The city council keeps approving more police officers to combat the crime problem. Too bad the police force doesn't care about assigning officers to work in a way that might actually do something about the crime problem.

Oh, did you want that coffee to go? Here’s a Schwinn with your soy latte. That’s what happens when you run a bikeshare program out of a coffee shop instead of through a corporate sponsor like Citibank. Writes Feargus O’Sullivan for The Atlantic: Buy a coffee, and we’ll lend you a free bike. This is the idea behind a novel kind of bike-share scheme in the Czech Republic, where group of cafes in Brno, the country’s second-largest city, have come together to offer customers free biking. Dropping in for a drink, all users need to do is put down a deposit of 300 Crown ($16) and they get a lock, a folding bike, and a request to turn it in at the end of the day at any of the participating centers. O’Sullivan likens it to free wifi at coffee shops. Remember before it was widespread? It was good publicity for the coffee shop, made you want to come back, and encouraged you to get a cup of joe. This tiny bikeshare program will hopefully do the same thing. And since they’re not using fancypants docking stations, the program doesn’t require any new infrastructure — just a little bit of room in the café. As if it couldn’t get any better, the one-year-old program hasn’t had to deal with theft, either. (Then again, they only have five bikes. But still.) Dang Europeans.

23-year-old Man Sentenced for Rapid City Robbery RAPID CITY – A 23-year old man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison with five of those years suspended for robbing a Rapid City convenience store. KEVN television reports that Seventh Circuit Judge Wally Eklund sentenced Ryan Reub on Tuesday. Reub pleaded guilty to robbing The Big D store in December with a BB pistol that resembled a real weapon. His attorney told the court that Reub was intoxicated on methamphetamine at the time of the robbery. Reub told the judge that he was sorry for what he did, and said if he weren’t in jail he would be dead. Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Touring isn’t something that I’m good at. I read this quote from Adele today in an article in which she discussed her desire to quit touring. For me her admission radiated bravery to buck a system and to develop a creative process that enabled her to remain true to herself. She showed an ability to look at what made her happy and what depleted her and in doing so exhibited a willingness to do what supported her gifts and strengthened her. And her fans would adjust; they would still hear her beautiful voice through her CDs or occasional performances on television but not necessarily through annual tours. How many times in life do we “stay the course,” doing things in that deceptive way that tradition tells us works? How often do we step out of the box to say this works and this doesn’t and I’m not going to frustrate myself by continuing to do something that doesn’t work? Why do we tend not to discard mental and emotional tools that are broken? Silly, huh? Just like you wouldn’t keep using a vacuum cleaner that didn’t work instead of replacing it with one that did. Know too that because something works for someone else does not mean that it’s what brings out your best. Someone once told me that I needed to be doing something with my business that others were doing and I informed the person that it just wasn’t my bag. (Completely throwing off this Gen X person. I had to translate.) We’re not cookies; we don’t need to fit the same mold. Do you listen to your calling to do something out of the ordinary? Do you encourage those who ask for your advice to listen to their inner voice even though it may run counter to what our culture tells us is expected? Would you agree with your child if he/she wanted to take a gap year between high school and college? Would you be comfortable encouraging your young adult daughter or son to explore a non-traditional field of work that interested them or tell them to jump into the established workforce? Paul Gauguin, the Post-Impressionist artist, realized that while he was good at being a stockbroker he hated it. It was too constricting. And much to his wife’s dismay, he quit a lucrative career that provided him with an income to live in a beautiful Parisian apartment and collect art to pursue his desire to create through paint and clay. I’m not encouraging you to abandon your responsibilities especially if they include providing for a young family but I am encouraging you to either start or continue making decisions from a place of acknowledging your talents and how best to bring them to life. If Gauguin had followed his calling from the start (art) and not entered into a profession that did not bring him happiness he would have saved himself and a lot of people (namely his wife and five children) from some painful times. As I continue to work with non-profit and for-profits businesses on leadership issues I am continually pulled to suggesting that these entities recognize that their businesses are comprised of people and that as such they are not static but ever evolving and changing. Research suggests that by 3pm most people working a traditional 9-5 job become unproductive especially those who have children returning home from school. Calls begin to go back and forth about homework and dinner until the closing bell at 5pm. The Danes have realized that workers are most productive if they work from 9am – 3pm at which time they leave to pick up children from school and daycare. They have five very productive work hours and one hour of lunch which they do not eat at their desks while working (it’s considered bad manners). Again, thinking outside of the traditional box. I realize that ideas like these are easier to bring to small businesses but I also know from experience that most small businesses are too apprehensive to even try a new approach to what a work day looks like and how a work environment functions (don’t eat at your desk and take a vacation that does not include checking in at work all day). Back to Adele and you – I encourage you to embrace the unique person who you are, do things to support you, try things that challenge you (the only way Adele realized she didn’t like touring was to actually tour), and release things that deplete you and impact negatively on how you use your gifts in the world. No one knows you better than you know yourself. And no one is quite like the wonderful, unique person you are. You shine your light in the world first by being true to yourself and then casting that beam outward. “This above all: to thine ownself be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” Shakespeare – Hamlet P.S. As I prepare for the launch of my book I have only a few openings for new clients who are interested in mindful leadership training for themselves or their employees (lunch-and-learns, professional development, one-on-one executive training). Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.org or message me on my Facebook page, Anne Greco, Writer, if you think one of the remaining leadership training slots is for you.

Business is good for youMr Gates had the good fortune to be perfectly suited for his time—but he is less well-equipped for the collaborative and fragmented era of internet computing. This does not diminish his achievement. Nor, as some would have it, does his philanthropy necessarily magnify it. Whatever the corporate-social-responsibility gurus say, business is a force for good in itself: its most useful contribution to society is making profits and products. Philanthropy no more canonises the good businessman than it exculpates the bad. In spite of his flaws, Mr Gates is one of the good kind. Some great industrialists, like Henry Ford, stick around even as the world moves on and their powers fail.

Durant may miss a couple games after snapping his balsa wood ankles. I’m not sure what the big worry is here with his ankles, this stuff happens to Derek Fisher, like, twice a game.

While I was researching another story for my post this week I came across a most impressive portfolio from a celebrated makeup artist named Matin Maulawizada. I was instantly intrigued, so I called his agency, Timothy Priano, to find out more information. It turns out he’s not only a very established artist, he is also the Global Artistry Director and Brand Ambassador for Laura Mercier cosmetics. His list of celebrity clients reads like a roll call of the Academy Awards red carpet. But that was not what interested me the most about Matin (he uses only his first name professionally), it was his philanthropic work with a foundation that he started called Afghan Hands. Matin graciously agreed to talk with me by phone earlier this week. I’d like to share the Q&A.

By Blaise Robinson Greek lenders Bank of Piraeus and Eurobank will drop out of the pan-European STOXX 600 benchmark, index compiler STOXX said, potentially depriving them of investment flows at a rocky time for Greek’s economic future. Despite a recent rebound, shares in the two banks are down around 65 percent since February 2014, hurt by worries over Greece’s debt pile. The demotion from the benchmark index means the shares will be dropped from exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and index trackers replicating the STOXX 600, resulting in a fall in liquidity for the stocks. According to Societe Generale analysts, the deletion would mean ETFs and funds having to adjust to the change would sell 10.1 million Piraeus shares worth around 6.2 million euros ($7.1 million), and 47.5 million Eurobank shares worth 7.1 million euros. Piraeus shares were down 6.6 percent and Eurobank down 4 percent on Wednesday morning, giving up a portion of gains made on Tuesday after Athens delivered a list of economic reforms to the euro zone that helped it secure a four-month extension of its financial rescue. The two banks have a market value of 4.2 billion euros and 2.5 billion euros, respectively. Bigger rivals National Bank of Greece and Alpha Bank will remain in the STOXX 600. The index provider, which uses criteria such as market capitalisation and free float to rank stocks, said Rhoen Klinikum, Premier Oil, Ophir Energy, Hunting and Nutreco will also be dropped from the STOXX 600. AMS, Faurecia, WH Smith, Beazley , Duerr, Restaurant GRP and Grafton will be added to the index. Changes will be effective as of the open of markets on March 23.

Skip to comments.Don't 'Shop me Bro - White House Warns: Don't Photoshop Obama Gun Pic Posted on 02/02/2013 8:10:33 AM PST by GraceG The White House has released a picture purporting to show President Obama "skeet shooting" at Camp David. An activity he claims he does "all the time." The White House also warns all you mischievous internet types to not mess around with the picture: "This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House." (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ... Well they forgot to put in the smoke that would be coming from the ports on the left side. It’s ported on both sides. Good point but since when has this administration ever been concerned about following the rule of law or the Constitution for that matter? Looks more like a turkey shoot stance, but I doubt he ever did that either. I knew that the rest of him is far left, I just didn’t know if he was left handed. They have no idea of the true meaning of photo shoppped but they will. LOL!!!!!! Laws are for the little people. Let's do it anyway... When the heck does anyone shoot that close to a road?? Most ranges have gravel roads at best. Interesting observation. Many areas prohibit the discharge of firearms within 100 yards or so from any type of “structure”. I was just about to post that. No more than half the butt pad is in contact with his shoulder and the line from the top of the barrell meets the top frame of his sunglasses. So let’s see. Obama teed off at the AFB course at 9:00 AM that day, played for 6 hours, hopped on the plane, flew to Camp David, arriving well after 3 PM, (not sure how long the flight is), went skeet shooting and then joined a small group of friends & aides to celebrate his birthday. “WASHINGTON President Barack Obama celebrated his 51st birthday Saturday with a round of golf and a quiet weekend at Camp David, taking a break from campaigning three months before Election Day. Obama, wearing a white golf shirt, khaki pants and sunglasses, boarded Marine One at Andrews Air Force Base after about six hours on the golf course before heading to Camp David. He was joined by a small group of friends and aides that included White House chef Sam Kass, a frequent golf partner.” I would like to see the image EXIF data. HA, HA, HA! “Hey, I just spent 6 hours on the golf course. It’s 4 PM, but what I really want to do is shower, get into some comfy jeans and blue shirt and shoot some skeet!! The party can wait!” Cork and string coming out of the barrel. I think the extra puff of smoke is from a previous shot. The chose this pic to get people to come up with theories on the smoke so they can use it later for ridiculing right wing gun owners. Doesn’t everybody shoot skeet with only one choke tube screwed in? Since it’s threaded for choke tubes the one thing you never do is shoot it without a choke tube, it screws up and damages the threads. This is such a joke! Elmer Obama Fudd goes hunting.

Have you ever made plans only to see them falter? I have many times. If I were to be honest according to my plans I should have been rich and famous by now… I don’t have to tell you that did not work out too well. I often make plans that fall short. I make financial goals, fitness goals, career goals only to see them constantly fail. All of us have personal experience in plans failing. Sometimes its because we give up, other times it's situations that are out of our control. Maybe the broken plans are for heartbreaking reasons. Relationships fail, people die. So how are we to respond when life takes a downward turn? The Bible is filled with these types of occurrences, reminding us that God allows hardships, but He is continually working for us and through us. In our Lifegroups for the next month or so we are going to look at the book of Ruth to see how God is moving even when our plans don’t work out. "So how are we to respond when life takes a downward turn? " In Ruth 1 we find three ladies whose lives did not turn out like they wanted or hoped for. In fact, when we find them, they were in an awful spot. Because of a famine in Israel, Naomi, her husband and her two sons moved to Moab, an enemy land to the east of Israel. While there Naomi’s sons married two local girls Ruth and Orpah. Very quickly after they moved there Naomi's husband died. Within 10 years, Naomi’s two sons died as well. Naomi and her two daughters were widowed and alone in Moab. Now this would be heartbreaking under any circumstances. But in that day it was especially bad because women did not have the same privileges as today. Widowed=destitute. Women did not work outside the home. They had no way to support themselves or their family. If a woman’s husband died she would either have to remarry or beg for a living. When bad things happen it is natural to wonder and ask God why. In Ruth 1, Naomi was still grieving. She went from being married and having two sons to losing everything. Alone in a foreign land. In the first chapter of Ruth we are given insight into a heart wrenching situation. These 3 women are moving from Moab back to Bethlehem in hopes of finding a better life and enough food to feed themselves. Although these two daughters were all that Naomi had in the world, she encourages them to go back to their homeland so they could find a new husband. A new husband was all the hope that a widow had of escaping poverty and begging. Orpah took Naomi up on the offer and decided to go home, but Ruth would not leave. When a woman in that day married a man she married into the family. The husband's family was her family. So much so that if her husband died and there was a living brother, that brother in law would have to marry her. The problem was both brothers had died and there was no one left to take care of them. But Ruth was still loyal to her commitment. She loved Naomi more than herself and was not going to leave her. This was a huge sacrifice because logically speaking, Ruth was a Moabite. Jews looked down on Moabites, interracial marriage was viewed in that day similar to what it was a hundred years ago in our own county. A Jewish man would not marry a non-Jew if he cared about what others thought about it or social expectations. So when Ruth declared that she would move back to Bethlehem with Naomi she understood that meant she would likely be a widow in a foreign land the rest of her life, even after Naomi was not around. (But thank God he had other plans!) "You must remember that just because you can’t see how God is working doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have a plan for you!" We have the privilege to see the whole story. Something that Naomi and Ruth couldn’t when they were living the story. God was working both in Ruth’s personal story and for his redemptive story. In the chapters that follow we are going to see how God not only provides food and resources for these two widows, he also uses this moabite widow in a mighty way to effect the world. How was God working on his story? Read the last word of the book of Ruth: “David”. Ruth ended up being the great great grandmother to King David. Which also means that Ruth was a great grandmother to Jesus himself. Could God have used someone else? Yes, his story was not dependant on Ruth, but Ruth had an amazing opportunity to be a part of God’s story in carrying on the line to Jesus and to beautifully show God's redemptive love. In the moment when Naomi and Ruth could only see their hardships and troubles. What they do not see is there future victory. You might be in a situation similar to them today. You might be on a figurative road paved with hardship and suffering just like a Naomi and Ruth were on a literal road that was. You must remember that just because you can’t see how God is working doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have a plan for you! Romans 8:28 says “ And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”An amazing thing about when God moves it simultaneously benefits us as his children and brings himself glory. God made Ruth and Naomi lives better while also allowing a family line for Jesus to come through and save the world. This week what is an area that you need to trust that God is working in? Are there hardships or trials that you don’t have a solution to? I encourage you to start reading through the book of Ruth and pray that God would show you how to trust him in the good days and the bad. The secret to knowing what to do when your plans fail is to trust that God is working. (Over the next few weeks I'll be discussing this idea more)

When temperature is 33 to 35 degrees, humidity 70% and up, I never feel like eating. I made the choice to live without air-conditioning, and it is so much better. This is the only minus. And it’s OK if I eat food adapted to the season. I don’t really have the “digestive troubles” I mention, precisely because I eat how I need to avoid them. Whole grains can be trickly to digest. Be nice with your intestine. Take genmai (brown rice). Cook it overnight. I like my o-kayu (congee, rice porridge) very liquid. I use the Chinese program. Cut the fibers thin, salt and slightly steam the greens. Cut and salt in advance the herbs (nira and Italian parsley). Mushrooms are steamed too. They are “tora enoki”, panther enoki.

Sunday, January 30, 2011 I've never liked fantasy. Even when I was young and most vulnerable to my imagination, I disliked it. I wanted to read stories that reflected the world around me as I knew it. That's changed a lot in the last couple years. I've found movies and TV shows about the paranormal or bizarre that I really like. More importantly, I discovered Neil Gaiman's books. Gaiman, like the best fantasy writers, uses the fantastical to shine a light on actual human interactions and emotions. A vampire can be the most humane character in The Graveyard Book. Angels can be as capable of jealousy and passion as their creations in Murder Mysteries. Gaiman made me realize the joy of invention that can be found in fantasy. That being said, I still like Gaiman's most "realistic" books best. I love American Gods because Shadow is such a perfectly human protagonist; same goes for The Graveyard Book's Bod. For this reason, I've been a little apprehensive about trying out one of Gaiman's most famous books, Stardust. Stardust is real fantasy. It has a human (well, half-human) protagonist and begins in a little English village. But most of the book takes place in the land of Faerie, and a star is a major character. Just looking at this book made me wary. However, one of my friends absolutely adores Stardust, so I was willing to give it a try. I have to admit; it wasn't my cup of tea. Like all of Gaiman's books, it takes very human concepts and glances at them through the window of the bizarre and magical. But this book was very much fantasy. Tristran Thorn, born almost eighteen years earlier under mysterious circumstances, leaves the village of Wall in order to retrieve a falling star coveted by his crush, Victoria. To do that, he must pass into the land of Faerie. There, he does find the star (who looks and behaves like a human girl) and much trouble. He's not the only one looking for her, you see. But he is the only one unwilling to destroy her to get what he wants. There's adventure and sacrifice and romance along the way, and everyone gets what they deserve at the end. It's a perfect example of a fairy tale. Unfortunately, I've never liked fairy tales. So this wasn't quite the book for me. That's not to say that I actively disliked this book. It's impossible for me not to enjoy a Neil Gaiman novel. I loved the character of the star, Yvaine, who wasn't all sweetness and sugar like you might expect. Also, the humor is dry and understated in classic Gaiman fashion. That's one of my favorite things about Gaiman. He doesn't underline the jokes like so many other writers. You have to be fully immersed in the story to get just how funny some of his sentences are. The final few pages of this book also make it worth reading. It's a happy ending, but it's not overly schmaltzy or perfect. I actually got a little choked up at the ending sentence, a lovely little summation of everything that works in this book. The first chapter is pretty awesome, too. I can see why my friend loves Stardust so much. Indeed, it's a very winning story. Unfortunately, it just doesn't do it for me the way parts of American Gods or Gaiman's best short stories do. Psychology Today, by Darnell Arnoult Friday, January 28, 2011 Mike Birbiglia has been one of my favorite comedians since high school. At heart, he's an awkward nerd whose best jokes have an equal amount of sweet whimsey and weirdness. He's not a comic who works for everyone, but he's always been right up my alley. So when my friend Amy reviewed his new book over at her blog, I knew I had to follow suit. As Amy mentioned in her review, much of the material in these personal essays has been explored before in Birbiglia's CDs and TV specials. If you think these stories were funny the first time, though, then they're still funny here. Birbiglia isn't the strongest writer in the world, and the structure of most of the essays seems a little messy and underdeveloped. But that didn't keep me from enjoying the book. The book builds up to its last two essays, "Sleepwalk with Me" and "One More Thing," which have the distinction of being the best pieces in the whole book. They tell the tale of Birbiglia's struggles with a sleep problem called REM behavior disorder, which causes sufferers to have extremely vivid dreams that they then act out while unconscious. Before being officially diagnosed, Birbiglia spent years trying to ignore the problem. After crashing through a second-story hotel window during a dream and ending up in the hospital, he finally sought help. These two essays deal with this whole story in a funny, informed, and poignant way. The final scene of the book, where Birbiglia confesses to his crotchety father that he's had problems dealing with the disorder, manages to be honest, sweet, and hilarious all at once. This book was worth reading just to get to that well-done ending. Tuesday, January 25, 2011 Book Reviewed: Everything I Needed to Know About Being a Girl I Learned from Judy Blume, edited by Jennifer O'Connell This last weekend at a family get-together, my older cousin asked what I was reading. When I mentioned the title above, she smiled and said, "I lived that book." An avid Judy Blume reader when she was younger, this same cousin gave me my first Judy Blume book when I was seven. I then went on to become a Judy Blume fanatic. That's the amazing thing about Judy Blume: she's one of those authors that people love to pass onto the next generation. It's amazing that books she wrote thirty, forty years ago still have the resonance they do today. When people ask who my most influential writers are, I name off the usuals - Fitzgerald, Roethke, etc. But they're always surprised when I say that Judy Blume is the most important writer of my life. When I was seven and that cousin gave me Superfudge for Christmas, it changed my life. I read that book and couldn't believe that someone could make me say, "Me too!" in that way. Suddenly, I knew that I had to start writing; I had to start forming connections through words and stories. People laugh at this anecdote, but it's completely true and not particularly funny to me. Judy Blume's characters reflected my own experience so completely that they carved out the rest of my life, turning me into a lifelong reader and writer. That's why I was so excited to see that this book existed. Judy Blume is one of those writers that binds people together. I can meet someone I find annoying or don't particularly like, but if she mentions an affinity for Judy Blume, I suddenly treat her like she's my best friend. None of my other favorite writers are quite like that. I assume it's because people become hooked to her during their most impressionable years, at a time when it's not always easy to feel understood or to find books that speak to your experience. So anyway, I finally checked Everything I Needed to Know out from the library and read it. It was an overall enjoyable experience, even though some of the essays rang much more true for me than others. A lot of people love Judy Blume for books like Deenie or Forever..., which explored off-limit topics like sex or masturbation. Most of these essays were about those two books, and since those are two of the only Judy Blume books I've never read, I couldn't totally connect to them. I was more into Judy Blume for her looks into how families and friendships work. For this reason, my favorite essays in the book were Megan Crane's "A Long Time Ago, We Used to Be Friends," about a close friendship that eventually ends and a reflection on Judy Blume's Just as Long as We're Together (one of my favorite Blume books, I must add); an exploration on family upheaval and moving away by Melissa Senate called "Then Again, Maybe I..."; and Kristin Harmel's essay on divorce and It's Not the End of the World, "It Wasn't the End of the World." My favorite essay, for obvious reasons, was Cara Lockwood's "Superfudged," about the trials of being an older sibling. This essay hit the closest to home for me. When I was little, I hated being the older sibling. I thought my little brother, a tiny charmer if there ever was one, got more attention than I did. It seemed like no one else realized how annoying he could be. At the same time, though, I loved him and looked out for him. No one else was allowed to hurt him expect me, dammit. That's why Superfudge, the story of Peter Hatcher and his annoying little brother, made such a huge impact on me as a first-grader. Peter Hatcher had the exact same problems I did! In her contribution to the book ("The Importance of ABC's," which I wasn't particularly fond of overall), Kayla Perrin hits the nail on the head of what it means to read Judy Blume: "Her stories touched me right in the center of my emotional core. I read her books knowing that someone understood the trials and tribulations of grade school kids, and even more importantly, someone cared....And that's huge when you're young and often feel alone." I often found the writing in this book to be a little weak or overly naval-gazing. I also wished it hadn't focused on the "being a girl" aspect and featured some essays by male writers as well. (Also, no one here even mentioned one of my all-time favorite Judy Blume books, the fantastic Here's to You, Rachel Robinson). But overall, it was fun to spend time with people who love Judy Blume as much as I do, people who found in her the understanding and care that will continue to make her a perrenial favorite among children. I know that if I or my friends or my close family members have kids, they'll all be receiving copies of Superfudge as soon as they hit grade school. Monday, January 24, 2011 It's been quite awhile since I indulged in some historical romance. The last few historicals I picked up did nothing for me, and I threw each one to the side after only fifty pages or so. The heroes kept coming off as too macho, the heroines too weak, or the writing too insufferable. So I was a little wary when I picked up Julia Quinn's beloved The Duke and I at a used book sale for a quarter. Luckily, this particular historical rocked. Daphne Bridgerton is one of four siblings, and the first daughter to hit the London social scene in search of a husband. Her mother is adamant she find someone, but Daphne hasn't had much luck. She's very likeable, with her open face and open personality. Unfortunately for her, that likability makes men want to be friends with her rather than lovers. So when one of Daphne's brother's friends - the hot Duke of Hastings, Simon Basset - offers her a clever way to trick men into falling for her, she takes it. They pretend to be attached. This works for both of them. Once men realize that a duke is after Daphne, they begin to take notice of her. Meanwhile, society mothers back off on constantly throwing their daughters into Simon's path, freeing him from social annoyance. Things take a turn, though, when both Simon and Daphne realize they are actually in love with each other. Here's the plot kink: When Simon was a child, he had a very bad stutter. His asshole father basically disowned him, and he spent his life never really feeling loved. He overcame the stutter, but the whole situation turned him completely off the idea of having a family. Like so very many romance heroes before him, Simon thinks having children will turn him into his father, and he refuses to let that happen. So when he and Daphne end up getting married in tense circumstances, he tells her he can't give her kids. You can guess what happens in the end, with happy endings and whatnot. So why was this basic-plot romance so enjoyable? Because Simon and Daphne are strong characters, and they make a fantastic couple. Through the whole book, they genuinely like spending time together. Despite his lingering bitterness over his childhood, Simon is surprisingly witty and charming. He has a big heart, even if he doesn't realize it. Daphne, meanwhile, is funny and sweet without coming off as too perfect. They both have faults, but they are also fundamentally good people. I like these kind of characters in romances, particularly historical romances, which have a tendency to get too wrapped up in brooding to make me want to be friends with the hero and heroine. I loved just hanging out with Daphne and Simon, and I wanted things to work out well between them. I will definitely be reading more Julia Quinn in the future. Next in Trashy Reads: Erin McCarthy's Hard and Fast. Yes, I realize that title is ridiculous. Sunday, January 23, 2011 Anyway, thinking about that poem made me realize I needed to go back and reread it. I hadn't seen it in years, and I only remembered the gorgeous language and moonlit tone. I am glad I found this poem again. It's so beautiful and painful. That last line is an absolute killer. Enjoy! The Lifeguard, by James Dickey Tuesday, January 18, 2011 I accidentally started a book club. Back in November, I did a program at my library where I led a discussion of Kathryn Stockett's The Help. Only a few people attended, but they were all interested in continuing with further book discussions. Because my library branch only has the financial backing to do one program per month, I had to take the book club project into my own hands. I chose The Book Thief as our first official book because I loved it so much and wanted to share it with other people. The discussion is on Thursday, so I'm not sure yet how many people read it and liked it. However, my mother read it and absolutely loved it. So I hope that means other people will enjoy it, too. So anyway, I had to reread The Book Thief. Luckily, it's such a good book that I don't mind digging into it again only six months after my first reading of it over the summer. I won't bore you with details of what the book is about or my basic feelings about it. I covered that pretty well in my first review. Let's just say it's a tremendous book and leave it at that. I've always believed that good books should be read at least twice. I always get more out of the second reading than the first because I'm not worried about plot anymore. Instead, I can enjoy the language or the dialogue or the character development for its own sake. This time around, I was really impressed by just how damn ambitious this book is. I don't think this novel is perfect by any means; it gets maybe a little too sentimental at the end and sometimes the writing style can get a little repetitive. But you have to give Zusak some major credit for taking on this kind of project and pulling it off so beautifully. I think the reason the book works so well lies in its narration. Making an inhuman figure like Death the narrator of a book about the nuances of language and humanity is a pretty tricky prospect. Zusak uses it to his advantage, making his strange, choppy style (which can even be off-putting in his earlier books like Fighting Ruben Wolfe) come from the voice of someone who can't help but look at things in an episodic, off-handed kind of way. I applaud Zusak for taking risks that even the most admired masters of literary fiction don't even attempt. The other thing that struck me when reading this book again was the relationship between Liesel and Rudy. In my original review for the book, I gushed about how much I loved Rudy and his friendship with Liesel, but somehow I missed just how truly bittersweet the whole thing turns out to be. There's so much regret and lost opportunity by the end of their story that it made me cry all over again. Having read the book once and knowing everything that was coming made their scenes together towards the end just that much more heartbreaking. There's a scene where Rudy and Liesel are hanging out in his father's shop at Christmas that almost hurts to read. The amazing thing is that the bittersweet elements don't come solely out of the fact that [SPOILER ALERT] one of them eventually dies. It also comes out of the fact that they are just at that age where first crushes and missed opportunity go hand in hand. Fourteen year olds are supposed to feel too scared to act on their emotions, and Zusak understands this perfectly. He seriously gets everything right about their situation, and it makes the book just that much more wonderful and sad. I am super-excited to see what he does in the future. When the official date for his next book is announced, I will be pre-ordering it months in advance. To be brief, this book remains as amazing as ever. I definitely did not regret re-reading it so soon. Sunday, January 16, 2011 Well, I am waiting no more. My reading backlog will have me covered for the next month or two (I still have Anne Carson's latest to digest), but I hope to get my hands on that Maurice Manning book very soon. In the meantime, here's one of his poems that came out in Poetry magazine a couple years ago. I quite like the funny little ending. Enjoy! Sad and Alone, by Maurice Manning Tuesday, January 11, 2011 Over New Years weekend, I ended up with a nasty sinus infection. With a high fever and no desire to move, I couldn't concentrate on books with plots or involved writing. Luckily, a friend had just given me the AV Club's Inventory as a Christmas gift just a few days earlier. I could not have read this book at a better time. Lists of bizarre and hilarious pop-culture topics were the perfect thing for my fevered, list-loving mind. It's no great secret here that I love the AV Club and will read anything they publish. This book actually came out at the end of 2009, but my library didn't have a copy and the big book seemed a little too inconsequential to buy with my hard-earned money. That's why it was a perfect gift: something I'd like but wouldn't buy myself. Inventory is a book for people who know a lot about insignificant things. It's a compilation of lists about specific pop-culture subjects, a collection of the Iventory feature that the website runs every Monday. Lists about things like songs that hate on specific cities, movies too brutal to watch more than once, and books with strange plots make this book a blast to read. Seriously, I had as much fun reading this book as I might have had actually seeing any of the movies listed in this book. Some of these lists went a bit over my head, talking about bands or foreign films that I have very little knowledge about. But some were just pitch-perfect, making me laugh or think in equal measure. A few of my favorites include "Tell Me a Tune: 26 songs That Work as Short Stories," "Peter Parker Had It Easy: 18-plus Truly Tough Superhero Adolescences," "Superdrunk!: 10 Film Alcoholics Who Sober Up to Save the Day," "Noises Off: 15 Movies with Great Dialogue-Free Scenes," "Night of the Killer Lamp: 22 Ridiculous Horror-Movie Adversaries," and many more. But without a doubt, my favorite list is one that also doubles as the AV Club's memorial to Kurt Vonnegut, "So It Goes: 15 Things Kurt Vonnegut Said Better Than Anyone Else Ever Has or Ever Will." It's a surprisingly moving and wonderful list, one that makes me miss Vonnegut's writing and personality very much. Great job, AV Club! I doubt I've ever read a list that brought tears to my eyes like this one did. Side Note: Apparently being sick makes me crazy for lists. The other thing that kept me occupied while I was stuck on the couch was VH1's five-part series on the 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s. This list kicked some major synth-laden ass. I've been listening to selections from it on Grooveshark ever since. Sunday, January 9, 2011 We received record amounts of snow up here in the South Bend, Indiana, area this weekend, so everything is cold and white. Midwinter is one of my least favorite times of year, but it can also be very beautiful at times. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean I don't want to get away from it sometimes. Here's a short and lovely little poem in that spirit of mind. Enjoy! Arrival, by Heidy Steidlmayer Sunday, January 2, 2011 Burning the Old Year, by Naomi Shihab Nye Saturday, January 1, 2011 This isn't to say that I'm done with Trashy Reads or Neil Gaiman or teen books, of course. I plan to read a couple more Gaiman books in the coming months, and I have a very awesome pile of historical romances stacked on my desk. I hope to continue supplying this blog with reviews of books from all kinds of genres. It's what makes my life (and hopefully yours) interesting. What about you guys? Do you have any books on your to-read list that you absolutely are determined to get to this year?

Title: たくさんのバレンタインチョコありがとう！…ってツンデレの浩史が言わないからかわりに俺が言ってみた (Takusan no Barentain Choko arigatou!. . .-tte Tsundere no Hiroshi ga iwanai kara kawari ni ore ga itte-mita / Thanks for the many Valentine’s Day Chocolates!. . .I tried to say instead because Tsundere Hiroshi won’t say these words) View Episode Guide Rating: 😀 😀 😀 (3 & 1/2 out of 5 grins) ATTENTION!!! Important Note: All the translations below are my own (by Arria Cross). All are labelled “rough translation”, as they did not undergo any professional proofreading and/or editing and may lack literal and/or grammatical accuracy. I did my best, however, to convey the atmosphere and context of the conversations in this radio show. This is the 48th episode of Kamiya Hiroshi (神谷浩史) and Ono Daisuke’s (小野大輔) radio show Dear Girl ~Stories~. It’s graduation season in Japan (March). HiroC says that they’re discussing something “normal”, for a change. Then OnoD uses the term “Yayoi” which is an obsolete Japanese term for the third month, referring to March which is the graduation season. Then, typical of OnoD, he deviates from the original topic and uses “Yayoi” as a female name. HiroC interrupts him before he takes too long doing these pointless monologues. Next, they do the Futsuu Sto Corner (Futsuu Story/Ordinary Story) where they read and discuss letters sent to them by their listeners. HiroC: Aratamemashite! This is Kamiya Hiroshi MOSU! (“Aratamemashite” means “to do this formally”, meaning to introduce oneself formally.) OnoD: Mosu! Mosu! This is Ono Daisuke. HiroC: Until when do I have to do this duty (of saying “mosu”)? (“Mosu” is OnoD’s popular dialogue tag, taken from his CD “Hinemosu”. I assume that the “mosu” part is written in the program script and HiroC is required to read it whether he likes it or not.) Noazuku (Listener Letter): This may sounds sudden, but I have someone I like. Noazuku (Listener Letter): I’ve liked him for 2 years now, but we will be graduating this March. I want to confess my feelings to him before graduation. If possible, I want to ask him even for just his e-mail address. Do the 2 of you have any experience like this? I want to know what 2 Romance Masters like you have to say. (Staff laughing in the background) HiroC: Ooooh~ So we are now the Romance Masters, huh? Well, asking for his e-mail address will be easy, you know. OnoD: Well, that’s true. You see here, Noazuku-san— HiroC: It should be easy, right, Ono-kun? OnoD: Ah, yeah, yeah. HiroC: So if it was you, how will you ask? OnoD: Huh? Me? HiroC: You’re a Romance Master, so you should know, right? OnoD: Yes, but you know.. .I think I want to ask HiroC. HiroC: No, no. It must be Ono-kun. OnoD: No, HiroC– HiroC: I really think that it should be from you, Ono-kun. OnoD: It can’t be helped, then. Just wait for a minute, okay? OnoD: I, the Great Romance Master will just gather my thoughts. . . HiroC: We’re counting on you. OnoD: . . .on how to ask the e-mail address of the person you like. First is. . .uhm, yeah. You must absolutely. . . OnoD: Find out where he’s working. (staff laughing in the background) HiroC: Okay. Then what? OnoD: Then apply for a job there… OnoD: There’s going to be paperworks, right? And then you become his subordinate– HiroC: That’s employee information, so it’s useless in our discussion! OnoD: Then when you’re working together, you ask him directly for his e-mail address. Say, “Please exchange mail addresses with me. Please!” HiroC: I understand that he’ll probably give her his e-mail address, but that kind of advice from you, Ono-kun is just creepy, you know? OnoD: You’re right. Then he’s going to be like, “How did you know (where I work)”? But I’m just saying that there are people who research (stalk) information about the people they like. HiroC: Ah, yeah. You’re right. OnoD: They research things such as movies that they like, which is very convenient for conversations. HiroC: Yeah, yeah. OnoD: I also do this and like using it. So when the other party’s e-mail arrives, I find that the best is always the last line says something like “I’d like coffee after watching rental movies.” HiroC: That’s just too far-off the topic that I have no idea whatsoever what you’re talking about. Sorry. My bad, folks. I understand what the above conversation is in Japanese, but I can’t translate it properly into English that will make it more understandable. Anyway, let’s move on. After Ono-kun‘s awkward romance advice, he asks HiroC how he would ask for someone’s e-mail address. OnoD: So how would you do it? HiroC: Fine. Then listen to me. Listen, ok? Uhm. Here we go. (starts acting out a scene) My phone is acting weird. I think the infrared sensors are not working. (Exchanging phone numbers and e-mail addresses via infrared sensors is common in Japan. No need to manually enter a number/address. Just put the phones close to each other.) OnoD: Ah, is that so? HiroC: Can I try it with you? Ah, right. I don’t know your e-mail address, right? If it’s alright with you, can we exchange numbers? OnoD: That’s fine. HiroC: (continues babbling while pretending to exchange e-mail addresses) My phone just randomly beeps and the reception and such just go haywire. . .Oh! Thanks. Here it comes, here it comes! HiroC: I just sent you an e-mail. “I LIKE YOU.” OnoD: As expected from the Romance Master. HiroC: How was it? OnoD: A sudden confession. OnoD: On the very first e-mail. HiroC: I’ve had enough of this! HiroC: Shut up! HiroC: But you know, let’s think about this more clearly. OnoD: What do you mean, Romance Master? HiroC: If a woman asks you, “Ah, Ono-san, I don’t know your e-mail address. Will you tell me?” You’ll give it to her, right? OnoD: Yes, I probaly will. HiroC: Normally, if you ask for it, he’s going to listen and give his e-mail address to you. OnoD: That’s true. HiroC: You just don’t have the courage to ask. HiroC: (in his, ~kyaaah~, seductive voice) What you need is merely the courage to ask. And that is– Both: DEAR GIRL ~STORIES~! Love it!!!!! Brilliant! Yuka (Listener Letter) shares that she wants to become a part of the DGS team, so she took the Bunka Housou exam but unfortunately failed it. She says that she was angry at first, but her love for DGS is just too much, so she wishes HiroC and OnoD more power in doing DGS. OnoD: Ahahaha. Ara! HiroC: I see. So you took the Bunka Housou exam, but failed. But you’re a listener, so I think as a listener you’re the most concerned about our show. OnoD: I see. That’s true. HiroC: No doubt about it! HiroC: But this show’s staff is more troublesome than you think, you know. OnoD: That’s right. HiroC: We’re always on our toes about what they have in store for us, what kind of things they would require us to do. I drifted off for a while, as I lost interest with what they’re talking about after this. They talk about “Nimpo” or the Ninja Arts. They seem to be enjoying their discussion. Next, OnoD announces that they’re both going to star at the then upcoming anime “Monochrome Factor” that coming April. Finally, they do the Sylph Danwashitsu Corner where they read the description of the manga Anonymous by Imamura Youko-sensei. Imamura Youko-sensei asks them what kind of costume they like. OnoD says that he generally likes “Dirty Pair”-like costumes and costumes that make a girl look “moe”. HiroC comments that OnoD is making a lewd face. On the other hand, HiroC says that he doesn’t have a particular favourite costume. He likes what looks good on a person. Afterwards, they take photos of their heads and superimpose them on top of cosplay costumes. OnoD’s head is put on a body wearing a China dress, while long hair is added to HiroC. They try on many different looks, which I can only imagine since this is a radio show. HiroC: Tonight’s DGS episode is ending soon. . .MOSU! OnoD: Ahaha. If you don’t want to say that, you don’t have to. HiroC: Ah. Ah, ok. OnoD: I’d rather you say it from the bottom of your heart. HiroC: Well, I have no choice because it’s my job. HiroC also announces that they have forgotten a lot of corners such as 1-Phrase Story and the Dear Letter Corners. He says that they’ll try to remember to do them in the future. My favourite is the “Romance Master” part. This is a fun episode, as usual, but there are many instances that I drifted off or lost interest with their conversations. I hope that you enjoyed it, as much as I did.

This recipe was adapted from a turkey sausage recipe I got from a friend years ago. Since I don't have access to affordable, quality, ground turkey, I have adjusted and tweaked that original recipe to use with our hamburger meat instead. For every pound of grass fed hamburger add: 1 tsp nutmeg 1 tsp rubbed sage 1/2 tsp thyme 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp sea salt ground black pepper to taste 1 or 2 large cloves of garlic crushed I usually cook a tiny bit in a small pan after mixing it to make sure I don't need to adjust the seasoning but otherwise that's all there is to it. I prepare about ten pounds of this at a time. Some I fry up ground to freeze and have on hand for soups, casseroles and such then I make the rest into patties which I keep in the freezer to fry up when ever needed for breakfast. Because I can't eat eggs, my staple breakfast is one of these patties simmered in broth with squash or whatever leftover veggies I have on hand.

Future Protein Supply and Demand: Strategies and Factors Influencing a Sustainable Equilibrium. Foods 2017, 6, 53.| |Series/Report no.: ||Foods;vol 6| |Abstract: ||A growing global population, combined with factors such as changing socio-demographics, will place increased pressure on the world’s resources to provide not only more but also different types of food. Increased demand for animal-based protein in particular is expected to have a negative environmental impact, generating greenhouse gas emissions, requiring more water and more land. Addressing this “perfect storm” will necessitate more sustainable production of existing sources of protein as well as alternative sources for direct human consumption. This paper outlines some potential demand scenarios and provides an overview of selected existing and novel protein sources in terms of their potential to sustainably deliver protein for the future, considering drivers and challenges relating to nutritional, environmental, and technological and market/consumer domains. It concludes that different factors influence the potential of existing and novel sources. Existing protein sources are primarily hindered by their negative environmental impacts with some concerns around health. However, they offer social and economic benefits, and have a high level of consumer acceptance. Furthermore, recent research emphasizes the role of livestock as part of the solution to greenhouse gas emissions, and indicates that animal-based protein has an important role as part of a sustainable diet and as a contributor to food security. Novel proteins require the development of new value chains, and attention to issues such as production costs, food safety, scalability and consumer acceptance. Furthermore, positive environmental impacts cannot be assumed with novel protein sources and care must be taken to ensure that comparisons between novel and existing protein sources are valid. Greater alignment of political forces, and the involvement of wider stakeholders in a governance role, as well as development/commercialization role, is required to address both sources of protein and ensure food security| This work forms part of the ReValueProtein Research Project (Exploration of Irish Meat Processing Streams for Recovery of High Value Protein Based Ingredients for Food and Non-food Uses, Grant Award No. 11/F/043) supported by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) under the National Development Plan2007–2013 funded by the Irish Government. |Appears in Collections:||Food Marketing & Agri-Innovation| Items in T-Stor are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.

September 14, 2008 Memorandum on Potential Marine Conservation Management Areas By Bush, George W August 25, 2008 Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Chairman of the Council on Environmental QualitySubject: Potential Marine Conservation Management Areas The Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality has advised me there are objects of historic and scientific interest in areas under the jurisdiction of the United States that may be appropriate for recognition, protection, or improved conservation and management under available authorities including by executive order or action under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.), National Marine Sanctuaries Act (16 U.S.C. 1431, et seq.), or the Antiquities Act (16 U.S.C. 431). These objects include: In the central Pacific, coral reefs, pinnacles, sea mounts, islands and surrounding waters of Johnston Atoll, Howland, Baker and Jarvis Islands, Kingman Reef, Palmyra Atoll, Wake Island, and Rose Atoll that are isolated from population centers, mostly uninhabited, and support endemic, depleted, migratory, endangered and threatened species of fish, giant clams, crabs, marine mammals, sea turtles, seabirds, migratory shorebirds and corals that are rapidly vanishing elsewhere in the world. The reefs in these areas support unique localized upwellingbased productivity, and two of the atolls are repositories of the larvae of many marine species transported from the biodiversity-rich western Pacific. In the western Pacific Ocean, the marine waters around the northern islands of Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, including the Mariana Trench, that offer an exceptional and diverse collection of marine life and habitat. Please provide to me your assessment, with relevant supporting information, including the views of the territorial and local governments and other interested parties, of the advisability of providing additional recognition, protection or improved conservation and management for objects of historic or scientific interest at these islands, coral reefs, geologic features and surrounding marine waters. Because Johnston Atoll and Wake Island have supported active military bases, and the other areas in the Pacific include areas of strategic importance to the United States, any measures your assessment recommends should not limit the Department of Defense from carrying out the mission of the various branches of the military stationed or operating within the Pacific and shall be consistent with freedom of navigation and international law. Please also consider cultural, environmental, economic, and multiple use implications of any measures you recommend, including the extent to which they are compatible, if applicable, with sustaining access to: (1) recreational and commercial fishing; (2) energy and mineral resources; and (3) opportunities for scientific study. With respect to each of these areas, your assessment should further identify whether there are opportunities and mechanisms for improved coordination of management among relevant agencies in accordance with Executive Order 13366 of December 17, 2004.

The competitive world of publishing is the setting for the suspense filled pages of Chris Pavone’s novel, The Accident. Isabel Reed, a New York City high powered literary agent, has just been given an anonymous novel that has captured her attention and she feels it may be her once in a lifetime discovery. The book would be a revelation to the world, and a story that many very scary, powerful people would not want discovered. The novel is a journey told by many unique characters who all want the prize of making the book by anonymous their discovery. In Pavone’s book the publishing industry is exposed to the readers and it is a learning experience as to how a book gets from writer to shelves. Specifically, it reveals many crimes that were committed by a powerful media mover and shaker, Charlie Wolfe. What a ride! Add to that the people who are trying anything to keep the book and it’s secrets hidden and you have a fun filled race to the last page.Although I thoroughly enjoyed the story’s plot, the organization of the book was a bit difficult for me to get into at first. The novel is written with each chapter being told from a different character. I had some trouble keeping track of what was happening from chapter to chapter as I tried to remember the character and their storyline from a previous chapter gap. Pavone’s skill prevails because in time I caught onto the cadence of characters and enjoyed the development. I would recommend Pavone’s novel, The Accident, to anyone wanting to vicariously visit the publishing industry as a thrill ride. Well, worth the read.I received my wonderful copy of "The Accident" from Blogging for Books.com!

Hello my friends, I'm so excited that Camp Aloha Friends, has kicked off. If you've not heard about it, check out the link, it's a summer camp from the comfort of your own home, full of lots of different crafts for you to try plus lots of other fun things to do all over the summer from June until September. The first activity that Camp Director Mel has given us, is to make a journal to document our journey through Camp Aloha Camp 2014 but this would be a great idea to journal your summer activities or travels. Mel has given campers a PDF, to print out personalized Camp Aloha Friends pages but I'm low on ink and used plain photo copier paper, folded in half to make A5 size, use as little or as many as you want. Once folded, open out and poke four holes down the centre fold, I measured one inch from the edge and then made a hole two inches from the first hole, do the same the other end. I then binded the pages together with two pieces of twine, take a large tapestry needle and from the outside of the journal thread in and back out the other side so you can knot the ends together on the spine, repeat for second holes. Now for the fun part, decorating the cover, I've gone for a vintage style cover and used some vintage music sheets. Cut two to the size of the front and back covers, I used a Gel Medium to glue the music sheet to the front, any glue will be fine, I just like multi medium as it doesn't wrinkle the paper as much as normal wet glue. In keeping with the vintage look, I inked around the edges in a light brown ink, you could use a wet tea bag and will get the same effect but you will have to let it dry and it will probably wrinkle a little bit, if you get it too wet. I'm decorating the cover with a large tag, some vintage buttons, a floral image from a magazine, vintage lace and a paper doily. Again I inked all the edges and glued down the tag and button card. I attached the lace down one side of the floral image. I then glued the floral print and doily onto the front and stamped a sentiment on to a piece of card, tying some yarn the left hand side. I decorated the first page, covering with some pretty paper and I cut the clock face out from a magazine, adding alphabet stickers with the quote " It's time to get creative". I took some sandpaper and gently sanded over the page, to give it the shabby look that I like. On the second page, I've stamped some leaves, post mark and ink splats, collage style ready to start filling it with all the wonderful crafty projects I'll be doing over the summer. It's not too late to sign up and join in the fun, just hop on over to here, you can enroll anytime to the classes and if you wanted the "suitcase" option, there are a few left and will take around 10 days to arrive, if you are international. Also, don't forget to check out Mel's blog, Singlehanded Knits, to see what's going on and interviews with some of the teachers. Thanks for stopping by.

State racing officials will take at least another month to decide whether to give the state fair an extra week of horse racing next year at the expense of the Sonoma County Fair. The California Horse Racing Commission had been scheduled to vote on the plan Thursday in a meeting in Santa Anita, but it became evident there was deep disagreement between key parts of the horse racing industry and board member Steve Beneto, who proposed the change last month. Chairman David Israel delayed the vote until at least the Nov. 21 meeting, calling for more negotiations in the meantime. Beneto, a former member of the state fair board, wants Sonoma County to move its fair a week later to accommodate an extra week of racing at the state fair, set to wrap up July 27. The Sonoma fair had planned to run July 24 through Aug. 10 and was counting on running horse racing throughout that period. Fair Manager Tawny Tesconi has said repeatedly that moving the fair dates at this late point is impossible, and warned that losing one week of racing during the fair would cost at least $150,000 in revenue the cash-strapped organization had been counting on for next year. At Thursday's meeting, Beneto accused Tesconi of making "some statements I think are not true," saying moving the fair dates should be easy. "It wouldn't affect the fair at all," he said. "It's just one week." Tesconi, however, stood firm, saying the Sonoma County Fair Board had made clear it would not alter the planned 2014 dates. "I really don't think it is this board's jurisdiction to tell us when we can run our fair," she told Beneto. Other players in the racing industry also voiced opposition to the plan. Joe Morris, president of the Thoroughbred Owners of California, said his board members were all opposed, with owners preferring to spend July at the turf track in Sonoma rather than on the dirt one at the state fairgrounds, known as CalExpo. Representatives of Golden Gate Fields on the Berkeley-Albany border expressed concern that shifting the Sonoma dates later into August to accommodate Beneto's plans would cut into late summer dates they had been counting on for their track for next year. It's not clear how much support Beneto's plan has on the seven-member board. Only one member, Jesse Choper has expressed support, while the chairman expressed some concern Thursday about the possible collateral effect on Golden Gate Fields, which has been enjoying a modest economic rebound after several difficult years. The remaining members have yet to comment. (You can reach Staff Writer Sean Scully at 521-5313 or email@example.com.)

The attack occurred under the administration of former president Carlos Menem, who was closely aligned with US global policies (George Bush Senior was President of the US at the time) and, by extension, with the policies of the State of Israel and of global Zionist organizations. haaretz.com Israel is SHOCKED by the signing of an agreement between Iran and Argentina Sunday to establish a truth commission in a bid to resolve the 1994 bombing of a Buenos Aires Jewish community center that Argentine courts accuse Iran of sponsoring. “We warned the Argentinians only a short while ago not to fall into the trap that the Iranians will set up for them ,” said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Yigal Palmor. “We are stunned by this news item and we will want to receive from the Argentine government a complete picture as to what was agreed upon because this entire affair affects Israel directly.” Israel heard about the launching of the dialogue between Argentina and Iran in October from reports in the media. Despite repeated requests from Jerusalem, the Argentine government refused to update Israel on the progress of the talks. In meetings that have been held over the past few weeks between Argentina’s foreign minister, Hector Timerman (who is Jewish), and representatives of the country’s Jewish community, he agreed to convey only a few general details about the negotiations. Before the first round of talks between Iran and Argentina, senior officials of Israel’s foreign ministry traveled to Buenos Aires and delivered a sternly worded message to the effect that Israel would not accept the signing of any agreement that would be at the expense of the victims. The Israeli diplomats were adamant in their demand that Argentina must insist upon the extradition of the Iranian suspects and upon the payment of compensation to the families of the victims. In the terrorist attack against the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association (AMIA) in Buenos Aires in 1994, 85 people were killed and over 300, most of them Jews, were injured, after a Lebanese-born terrorist blew up a booby-trapped car alongside the Jewish community center building. After more than a decade of cover-up attempts, Argentine General Prosecutor Alberto Nisman, who headed the investigation of the attack, announced that Iran and Hezbollah were responsible for the bombing. For an entire decade, particularly during the presidency of Argentine President Carlos Menem, Buenos Aires avoided any comprehensive, thorough investigation of the attack. After Menem stepped down as president, his successor, Nestor Kirchner, ordered Nisman to renew the investigation. In the report he submitted in 2006, Nisman concluded that the attack was carried out by Hezbollah under the direction, and with the assistance of, top officials in the Iranian regime. Nisman argued that the persons involved in giving the order for launching the terrorist attack against the AMIA building included Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the then-Intelligence Minister Ali Fallahian and the head of Revolutionary Guard, at the time, Mohsen Rezae. The report also stated that the terrorist attack was executed by Hezbollah chief of staff Imad Mughniyeh; Iranian Ambassador in Argentina Hadi Soleimanpour; the cultural attaché at the embassy, Mohsen Rabbani, who, in effect, served as the operations officer for the bombing; and Ahmad Reza Asghari, a diplomat at the Iranian embassy who was in fact an intelligence officer. Upon the request of the Argentinian government, Interpol issued international arrest warrants in 2007 against several senior Iranian officials, including Ahmad Vahidi, Iran's current defense minister, as well as Fallahian, Rezae, Rabbani and Asghari. Tehran continues to deny any involvement in the terrorist attack and has refused all demands for the extradition of the persons against whom the international arrest warrants were issued. The Iranians claim that Nisman’s report is based on false information that Israel and the United States supplied to Argentina.

Arch Surg. 2007;142(12):1158–1167. doi:10.1001/archsurg.142.12.1158 Adjuvant massage therapy improves pain management and postoperative anxiety among many patients who experience unrelieved postoperative pain. Pharmacologic interventions alone may not address all of the factors involved in the experience of pain. Randomized controlled trial. Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Indianapolis, Indiana. six hundred five veterans (mean age, 64 years) undergoing major surgery from February 1, 2003, through January 31, 2005. Patients were assigned to the following 3 groups: (1) control (routine care), (2) individualized attention from a massage therapist (20 minutes), or (3) back massage by a massage therapist each evening for up to 5 postoperative days. Main Outcome Measure Short- and long-term (> 4 days) pain intensity, pain unpleasantness, and anxiety measured by visual analog scales. Compared with the control group, patients in the massage group experienced short-term (preintervention vs postintervention) decreases in pain intensity (P = .001), pain unpleasantness (P < .001), and anxiety (P = .007). In addition, patients in the massage group experienced a faster rate of decrease in pain intensity (P = .02) and unpleasantness (P = .01) during the first 4 postoperative days compared with the control group. There were no differences in the rates of decrease in long-term anxiety, length of stay, opiate use, or complications across the 3 groups. Massage is an effective and safe adjuvant therapy for the relief of acute postoperative pain in patients undergoing major operations. Despite the availability of opioid analgesics, studies have demonstrated that many patients have a substantial degree of unrelieved discomfort after an operation.1- 8 Pain is often undertreated owing to patient and clinician barriers. Patients frequently fear dependency, are concerned about adverse effects of analgesics, believe that suffering should be accepted without complaint, or worry about bothering nurses. Physicians and nurses may possess personal biases, cultural attitudes, or knowledge deficits that lead to prescribing or administering ineffective doses of analgesics.2,4,7,9- 17 The undertreatment of pain persists despite awareness of ineffective practices. Education, although essential, has proved insufficient alone to overcome ingrained clinician behavioral patterns.18Recent attempts to address the issue include making pain a fifth vital sign and the implementation of new pain standards by the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.19- 25 Clearly, alternative approaches to managing postoperative pain that supplement current practice may prove more effective than efforts at achieving better adherence to a regimen of opiate administration alone. The problem of pain is more than just patient discomfort. Pain can affect physical functioning, including the ability to cough and breathe deeply, move, sleep, and perform self-care activities. This may contribute to unintended and serious postoperative complications.1,26- 30 Furthermore, ineffective pain relief may result in significant psychological distress, potentially leading to sensory overload, anxiety, confusion, and even delirium.31- 33 Surgical patients report that pain is one of the highest environmental stressors they encounter.34,35 Pain has sensory and affective components. Sensory qualities are described in relation to time, intensity, pressure, and location of pain. The affective component of pain is related to the emotional context and often described as “unpleasantness.”36- 40 Pharmacologic interventions alone may not effectively address all of the factors involved in the conscious experience of pain. Massage is any systematic form of touch or manipulation performed on the soft tissues of the body that provides comfort and promotes health.41- 43 Touch and massage have been used for centuries to treat pain.44 When integrated with pharmacologic treatment, massage may be useful in the management of acute postoperative pain. Although several case reports and experimental studies have addressed the potential benefits of massage on pain,45- 52 only 2 clinical trials have examined the effect of massage on acute postoperative pain.53,54 In the first study, Nixon et al53 found that patients who received massages experienced reduced pain levels when compared with control participants. However, the study had several limitations: it was limited to 39 participants; massage method and length, times of day, and anatomical sites varied between subjects; details on opiate use were lacking; and pain unpleasantness was not measured. Piotrowski et al54 conducted the second study as a pilot study before the present one. Pain intensity and unpleasantness in response to massage or individualized attention were assessed. There was a significant difference in the rate of decrease of pain unpleasantness between the control and massage groups. The same trend was found for pain intensity but was not statistically significant. The present study was designed to have adequate statistical power to detect the effect seen previously and to examine the short-term effect of massage on pain, anxiety, and functional recovery. We designed this randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effects of a back massage on patients' self reported perceptions of postoperative pain, anxiety, and functional recovery. Patients undergoing major thoracic or abdominal operations were randomized into 3 groups and received (1) routine care (control group), (2) individualized attention from a massage therapist (MT) for 20 minutes but no massage (individual-attention group), or (3) a 20-minute back massage each evening by an MT (massage group). The study aim was to compare the perceived relief of pain and anxiety, opiate use, pulmonary function, postoperative complications, and length of stay (LOS) between the 3 groups. The primary hypotheses were that perceived postoperative pain and anxiety decrease over time more rapidly in the massage group compared with the individual-attention and control groups and that perceived postoperative pain and anxiety are immediately reduced as a short-term effect in the massage group compared with the other groups. We also hypothesized that massage, through its effects on pain relief, would enhance the recovery of pulmonary function. Randomization was stratified by surgical type and study site and, within each stratum, blocked randomization was performed to further enhance group balancing. The biostatistician in our group (H.M.K.) performed the randomization. Sequentially numbered envelopes with group assignments were prepared ahead of time and given to coordinators at each site. Patients were recruited from February 1, 2003, through January 31, 2005, at Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Indianapolis, Indiana. All veterans requiring operations with a sternotomy or an abdominal incision that entered the peritoneal cavity and was at least 8 cm were considered eligible. Patients were excluded if they were blind, deaf, or delirious; could not understand English; or had severe mental illness. Patients were identified from surgery schedules or surgery clinic schedules. Most patients were recruited before surgery. Institutional review board approval was obtained at both medical centers. The primary outcomes of pain intensity, pain unpleasantness, and anxiety were measured using visual analog scales (VAS). Each VAS was anchored by phrases at opposite ends of a 10-cm line. The anchoring phrases were “no pain” and “severe pain” for intensity and “not at all unpleasant” and “as unpleasant as can be” for unpleasantness. For anxiety, the phrases were “no anxiety” and “as anxious as I can be.” Delirium was assessed using the Bedside Confusion Scale.55 This test consisted of a visual assessment of the patient's alertness and then a rating of how well the patient recited the months of the year backward. State and trait anxiety levels were assessed using selected questions from the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, a well-validated instrument designed to help differentiate anxiety as a personality trait vs anxiety in response to stress.56 After consenting to participate, the patients completed a baseline questionnaire containing selected questions from the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and demographics. Patients also rated their current levels of pain intensity and unpleasantness. The study coordinator performed spirometry on patients who did not undergo preoperative pulmonary function tests to obtain baseline forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) using commercially available software (Breeze Suite; MedGraphics, St Paul, Minnesota) on a laptop computer. Patients were asked to complete each VAS each morning between 9 and 11 AM, beginning on postoperative day 1 and continuing through day 5 or until discharge if earlier. After ensuring that the patient was extubated and well enough to be visited, the site coordinator or research assistant asked the patient to rate the levels of pain and anxiety. Each day, delirium was assessed using the Bedside Confusion Scale. Spirometry was performed on postoperative days 1, 3, and 5. Nationally certified MTs provided interventions to the 2 experimental groups each evening between 6 and 8 PM. Patients randomized to the control group received routine care from nursing staff. Patients in the individual-attention group received, in addition to routine care, dedicated time (≤ 20 minutes) with the MT each evening on postoperative days 1 through 5 or until discharge. The purpose of this group was to assess the effect of emotional support independent of massage. Patient-MT discussions were informal and spontaneous and typically included such topics as family, hobbies, and personal interests. In addition to routine care, patients in the massage group received up to a 20-minute effleurage back massage. Most of the patients who underwent sternotomy received their massages while leaning forward in a chair and resting their head and arms on their tray table. If the patient received the massage while lying in the bed, he or she lay in a lateral recumbent position supported by pillows. The MTs were instructed to use medium pressure but to be responsive to a patient's tolerance. Patients were instructed to relax and encouraged to inform the MT if they became uncomfortable, wanted to change position, wished to stop, or required modification of the technique. Each evening, research assistants collected the pain and anxiety VAS findings within 30 minutes before and after the intervention. Every effort was made to keep the research assistants blinded to the patient's group assignment. The MT and research assistant coordinated their efforts by using a centrally located log, where they recorded times of patient interaction. Daily opioid use, including the drug name, dose, and route and the time of administration, were collected. The total amount of daily analgesic use was normalized by converting the daily opioid dose to the intravenous morphine equivalent. On the sixth postoperative day, patients completed a questionnaire that asked about satisfaction with pain management. Those in the massage group also completed questions about their experience with massage. Data on postoperative complications occurring within 30 days after surgery were collected from patient records. The sample size was determined to have 80% power to detect a difference in the rate of decline in the pain intensity score of 0.22 (scale range, 0-10) per day during the first 4 postoperative days with an α of .05, assuming 4 measurements (including baseline) per patient, within-subject correlation of 0.05, and σ of 2.3 (estimated from the pilot data). No interim analysis was planned. All analyses were performed with the intention-to-treat method. Baseline comparisons of demographic variables across the 3 groups were analyzed using χ2 tests or analysis of variance where appropriate. Initially, the individual daily scores and daily mean scores of pain intensity, pain unpleasantness, and anxiety were explored graphically for each postoperative day by group. Missing data were assessed to determine whether missing outcome variables were ignorable.57 Each of the outcome variables were collected 3 times daily (ie, morning, preintervention, and postintervention). To estimate the time-averaged effect while accounting for the potential correlation within multiple measurements of the same patient and to model the trend over time, a random-effect growth curve model was used.58 The model included a random intercept for each patient to adjust for the within-subject correlation and for time as the number of days since randomization to model the trends over time. Dummy variables for the massage and attention groups were used to model group effects, and an interaction term of time × group was used to model the potential differential rate of change in outcome over time across the groups. A coefficient of the time × massage group interaction term of less than zero would suggest a faster decrease in outcome for the massage group relative to the control group. The model also included daily opiate consumption normalized by body mass index. Although it would be impossible to determine whether missing data mechanisms are ignorable, under the assumption of ignorable missingness, a likelihood-based analysis such as a longitudinal model with random effects is valid given that the model is correctly specified.59 However, we also used the chained stochastic imputation method to impute missing outcomes and covariates using observed data.60 We then repeated the analyses for the 3 primary outcome variables using the multiple imputation method. Estimates from the imputed data sets were combined to obtain variable estimates and appropriate standard errors after accounting for both between- and within-imputation variation.61 For logistical reasons, spirometry data (FEV1 and FVC) were collected at fewer than 20% of the planned measurement times at one study site; therefore, these analyses were restricted to one site. We evaluated the effect of the interventions on the day 5 FEV1 and FVC percentages predicted using multiple regression with independent variables of group indicators, incision type indicators, and other potential covariates. For complications, a logistic regression model was used to assess the effect of the intervention on the occurrence of any complication. The LOS was skewed to the right, so we analyzed it as is and after truncating at 30 days (99th percentile). We performed statistical analyses using Stata, version 9.1 (StataCorp, College Station, Texas), and SAS, version 9.1 (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, North Carolina) statistical software, and set statistical significance at .05. We approached 1003 patients and, of 903 who were eligible, 645 consented, 252 refused, and 6 were initially screened but unable to be located thereafter for various reasons. Reasons for refusal included lack of interest, discomfort with being touched, anxiety about surgery, and not wanting to be bothered. Of the 645 patients who were randomized, postoperative pain and anxiety scores were not collected for 40 (17 from the control group, 9 from the individual-attention group, and 14 from the massage group) for the following reasons: receiving mechanical ventilation or reintubated (17 patients), withdrawal from the study (11), return to the operating room (5), delirium or a neurological problem (2), and other miscellaneous logistical reasons (5). These patients were not included in the analysis. Of the remaining 605 participants, 203 were assigned to the control group, 202 to the individual-attention group, and 200 to the massage group (Figure 1). There were no significant differences across the 3 groups in age, sex, education, marital status, preoperative pain intensity, history of military combat, or posttraumatic stress disorder (Table 1). The median age was 64 (mean ± SD, 63.8 ± 10.2) years, and the participants were overwhelmingly male (98.5%). The sternum was the most common incision site (64.0%). Of the 605 participants, 221 (36.5%) had all 5 usual pain intensity measurements, and the corresponding numbers were similar for the other outcomes. The pattern of missing data was random for the 5 postoperative days. Missingness in the postoperative day 1 pain intensity measurement was not associated with the preoperative pain intensity measurement or the treatment group. Older patients (P = .02) and those undergoing sternotomy (P = .004) were more likely to have missing day 1 pain intensity measurements. Increasing age, the presence of a sternotomy, and the site were similarly associated with missingness in the postoperative day 1 pain unpleasantness and anxiety measurements. No statistical differences were seen across the 3 groups in preoperative pain intensity, unpleasantness, state and trait anxiety, or postoperative day 1 pain intensity or unpleasantness (Table 2). Morning anxiety on postoperative day 1was higher in the individual-attention group (P = .02), but there was no difference across the 3 groups in postoperative day 1 preintervention anxiety (P = .89). The daily mean short-term changes for the pain intensity, pain unpleasantness, and anxiety scores all showed significant improvement from preintervention to postintervention measurements (Table 3). Although short-term improvement was significant for all 3 groups for each of the 3 outcome variables, the massage group had a significantly greater improvement in short-term outcomes than did the individual-attention or the control group. In particular, for pain intensity, the individual-attention group did not differ from the control group (P = .54), but the massage group had an additional 0.34 reduction in pain score (P = .001), averaged across the 5 postoperative days (Table 4) after controlling for daily preintervention pain intensity level. Similarly, the time-averaged short-term reduction in the pain unpleasantness score was significant in all 3 groups (P = .001), but an additional reduction of 0.41 in the pain unpleasantness score (P < .001) was observed in the massage group compared with the control group, whereas there was no difference between the individual-attention and control groups (P = .45). The anxiety score also showed a short-term daily reduction in each of the 3 groups (P = .007), with the massage group showing an additional reduction of 0.48 (P < .001) compared with the control group. For all 3 outcome variables, the daily short-term improvement was significantly associated with the daily preintervention values of the outcome. Greater improvement was associated with a worse preintervention outcome (a higher score) and, although the amount of unadjusted daily outcome improvement decreased during the 5 postoperative days (Table 3), after controlling for the daily preintervention scores of the outcome and group, no time effect was found. The pain intensity score declined over time at different rates across the 3 groups (Figure 2), but by postoperative day 5, the mean scores were at a similar level (P = .56 by analysis of variance). We therefore used pain data from postoperative days 1 to 4 to model the differing rates of decline across the 3 groups. After controlling for preoperative pain level, anxiety trait, age, type of incision, daily opiate consumption, and postoperative day 1 pain level, the pain intensity score was shown to decline significantly at a rate of 0.60 per day (P < .001; Table 5). This can be translated as a reduction in the pain score of 1.80 (0.60 × 3 days) from postoperative days 1 to 4 for the control group. Pain scores in the individual-attention group did not decline faster than they did in the control group (P = .35), but in the massage group they declined by an additional 0.22 per day (P = .02), giving an estimated decline in the pain score of 2.46 from days 1 to 4. When daily anxiety and confusion were added to the model, they were significantly associated with daily pain intensity, but the decline in the pain score in the massage group was still evident (P = .049), which did not support the hypothesis that the faster reduction in pain was primarily mediated through reduction in confusion or anxiety. The pain unpleasantness score also declined significantly faster in the massage group than in the control group (Figure 3), after controlling for opiate use and preoperative unpleasantness. The pain unpleasantness score declined 0.60 per day in the control group, which is a reduction of 1.80 (0.60 × 3 days) from postoperative days 1 to 4 (Table 6). The pain unpleasantness score declined faster in the massage group by an additional 0.25 cm per day (P = .01), but the rate in the individual-attention group was not different from that of the control group (P = .93). Unlike the pain intensity score, when daily anxiety was added to the model, the rate of decline in the massage group was still different from that of the individual-attention and control groups, but the rate of decline was reduced to 0.18 (P = .07), suggesting that the reduction in pain unpleasantness in the massage group might be mediated through reduction in anxiety. Although the daily morning (long-term) anxiety score also decreased over time (Figure 4), no long-term effect of massage on anxiety was found. The decrease in anxiety over time was significant (P = .03), but the anxiety score declined at a faster rate in the individual-attention group than it did in the other 2 groups (P = .04), likely owing to a significantly greater anxiety level in the individual-attention group on the first day, although the results were adjusted for the postoperative day 1 anxiety level. We created 5 imputation data sets. To impute missing outcome values and time-dependent covariates, we used incision type (which did not have any missing values) as a predictor, along with all observed outcome values and covariates. Results from the multiple imputations were generally similar to the results without imputation. The massage group showed a faster decline than the control group in pain intensity and unpleasantness. However, unlike the analysis without imputation and although not statistically significant, the individual-attention group also showed a faster rate of decline in pain intensity (0.13 per day faster; P = .09) and pain unpleasantness (0.15 per day faster; P = .07) compared with the control group. No difference was found between the individual-attention and massage groups for either pain measure. Mean opiate consumption declined daily for patients in all groups, reaching a similar level by day 5 (Figure 5). The mean opiate dosage on day 1 was not significantly different across the groups (P = .82), and the daily opiate consumption declined at an estimated rate of 6.9 mg/d (P < .001), with no differential rate of decrease across the groups. The satisfaction score can range from 0 to 10, with 10 indicating most satisfied. The mean ± SD scores were not different across the 3 groups (P = .50) and were 8.2 ± 2.7, 8.4 ± 2.5, and 8.5 ± 2.4 for the individual-attention, control, and massage groups, respectively. When patients in the massage group were asked whether the massages affected their pain, the mean response was 7.4 (0 indicates a great deal worse; 10, a great deal better). When asked whether the massages were helpful, the mean response was 8.3 (0 indicates not at all helpful, 10, very helpful). The mean ± SD FEV1 percentage predicted was 74% ± 19% preoperatively (281 patients), 32% ± 16% on postoperative day 1 (68 patients), and 43% ± 17% on postoperative day 5 (179 patients), and the FVC percentage predicted was 82% ± 17% preoperatively, 36% ± 18% on postoperative day 1, and 49% ± 18% on day 5. After controlling for age and the preoperative and postoperative day 1 values of the outcome, the individual-attention group had greater function on postoperative day 5 than did the other groups for FEV1 (P = .04) and for FVC (P = .07) percentages predicted. There was no difference in complication rate or LOS between any of the groups. At least 1 complication was experienced by 122 of 605 patients (20.2%) during the 30 days after the operation, and the complication rate was higher in patients with abdominal incisions (P < .001), patients with renal insufficiency (P = .003), and patients with diabetes (P = .001). The LOS was a mean ± SD of 8.8 ± 8.1 days, with a median of 7 days. The LOS was longer in patients who underwent sternotomy but was not affected by group or incision after controlling for the following 3 variables predictive of LOS: older age (P = .001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (P = .003), and renal insufficiency (P < .001). None of the patients reported any adverse events related to the massage intervention. However, several serious adverse events occurred related to the operations. Nine patients died during the study, and 7 of them were in the individual-attention group. After careful review of patient medical records, we determined that the deaths were unrelated to the interventions. This study is, to our knowledge, the largest randomized controlled trial of massage as adjuvant therapy for acute postoperative pain. It has confirmed and extended observations from our preliminary study showing a more rapid rate of decline in pain unpleasantness in patients receiving massage.54 In this study, significant decreases in the rates of both pain intensity and unpleasantness were seen during the first 4 postoperative days in subjects receiving massage. Although there were methodological differences between the preliminary study and this study, the long-term effects of massage on pain perception were preserved. In addition, we have demonstrated the feasibility of incorporating massage into routine postoperative care. Perhaps the most important observation from this study is the immediate (short-term) effects of massage on pain intensity, unpleasantness, and anxiety. These significant reductions were most pronounced on the first postoperative day. A 1-point (1-cm) reduction in the pain score (of a possible 10) on a VAS in the acute postoperative setting may sometimes require the administration of several small (eg, 1-mg) boluses of parenteral morphine, depending on the individual. This suggests that massage may be quite a potent pain reliever in some patients. Although the morning anxiety level was higher on postoperative day 1 in the individual-attention group, the reasons for the greater initial level of anxiety in this group are unclear. The analysis of the long-term effect of the interventions on anxiety was adjusted for the day 1 anxiety level. In a recent case-control study, Taylor et al62 examined the development of postoperative respiratory events. Respiratory events were defined as respiratory depression (< 10 breaths/min) and/or a decrease in oxygen saturation (< 90%) during narcotic administration that was reversed by naloxone hydrochloride. The authors concluded that the first 24 hours of postoperative care are a high-risk period for respiratory events. The most robust effect of massage in the short-term relief of pain was seen on postoperative day 1. Massage may potentially be a safer alternative as-needed form of pain relief. With proper training, health care providers at the bedside (especially nurses) may now have a powerful nonpharmacologic tool to directly address their patients' pain and anxiety. As was reported in our preliminary study, no significant differences in opiate consumption were seen between groups in this study. Because patients had limited to no control over administration of their opioid medications, opiate consumption might be spared if massage were available on a more frequent as-needed basis (eg, once or twice a shift). Although individualized attention was not associated with any significant effects on pain perception, it did have a significant effect on FEV1 percentage predicted, whereas massage did not. Massages were not given in proximity to the pulmonary function testing, which may account for the lack of an effect. The ability of massage to help relieve pain did not translate into any reduction in the complication rate or LOS. This observation is consistent with the lack of an effect on pulmonary function. However, further research is warranted to better define the relation between the timing of massage interventions and patient functional recovery. There are some limitations of this study. Virtually all the patients in this study were elderly men (Table 1). Results should thus be interpreted with some caution when extrapolating to other populations. There was also a potential self-selection bias among participants in the study because patients who were not interested in being touched refused to participate. This bias may have enhanced the response seen in the group receiving massage. Because of the intimate nature of massage and the variation in cultural attitudes regarding touch, it is unlikely that all patients would choose to have massage. However, two-thirds of subjects in this study were willing to participate (Table 1), which suggests that massage would be acceptable to a large proportion of patients. In addition, patients who received massages reported a high level of satisfaction with the therapy. It has been suggested in the context of opiate trials for cancer pain relief that a 2-point reduction on a VAS may be a more clinically meaningful outcome.63 However, such a standard may not be entirely applicable to acute procedural pain that rapidly decreases in intensity during the early postoperative period. In addition, because of a limited ability to alter the basic pattern of postoperative care, it was not possible in this study to perform dose-response interventions (eg, increased time of massage or increased number of massages per day) that could potentially demonstrate even greater reductions in pain intensity, unpleasantness, and anxiety. The effectiveness of massage in reducing both the intensity and unpleasantness of pain suggests that it may act through more than one mechanism. Our modeling suggests that massage-mediated reduction of anxiety may be an important mechanism in reducing pain unpleasantness, the affective component of the pain experience that is related to suffering. Suffering has been defined as “the state of severe distress associated with events that threaten the intactness of the person.”64(p 640) Major operations can be such a perceived threat. Fears of death or prolonged disability coupled with the physiologic experience of postoperative pain create the substrate for depersonalization and suffering. Massage may ameliorate suffering by helping to relieve the anxiety that so effectively synergizes with pain to create distress. Our modeling also demonstrated that the faster rate of reduction of pain intensity was largely independent of any effect of massage on anxiety. This implies that massage is also acting through another pathway distinct from its influence on affect. Possible mechanisms could include the creation of competing sensory input consistent with the gating theory of pain51 or perhaps through the generation of humoral mediators (eg, endorphins).65 Historically, massage was a common experience for postsurgical patients. As health care systems have become more complex and administrative demands on nursing time have increased, the tradition of nurse-administered massage has been largely lost. With the recent emphasis on assessing pain as the fifth vital sign24 tempered by renewed concerns for patient safety,62 it is time to reintegrate the use of effective and less dangerous approaches to relieve patient distress.

In place of its ancient fortifications Angouleme is encircled by boulevards known as the Remparts, from which fine views may be obtained in all directions. On the north, east and south boulevards with gardens follow the line of the medieval walls, which have mostly disappeared. Once strongly fortified, it is now surrounded by wide boulevards, and new quarters have grown up on its outskirts. The town was formerly surrounded by massive ancient walls, but these have now been for the most part replaced by boulevards; many of its streets are narrow and irregular. Boston paid in 1907 36% of all state taxes, and about 33, 62, 47 and 79% respectively of the assessments for the metropolitan sewer, parks, boulevards and water services. It contains several squares and boulevards, a large public garden, and many handsome public and private edifices. The steep, narrow streets of the old town contrast with the wide, shady boulevards which encircle it and divide it from the suburbs. The town is a medley of old narrow streets contrasting with the wide modern boulevards which cross it at intervals. The city has 95 acres of boulevards and avenues under park supervision and several fine parks (17, with 307 acres in 1907), notably Washington (containing Calverley's bronze statue of Robert Burns, and Rhind's "Moses at' the Rock of Horeb"), Beaver and Dudley, in which is the old Dudley Observatory - the present Observatory building is in Lake Avenue, south-west of Washington Park, where is also the Albany Hospital. Founded in 1854, it is well-built, provided with boulevards and surrounded by luxuriant gardens. The viali or boulevards form pleasant residential streets with gardens, and the system of building separate houses for each family (villini) instead of large blocks of flats is becoming more and more general. Coutances is a quiet town with winding streets and pleasant boulevards bordering it on the east; on the western slope of the hill there is a public garden. As opportunity offers, the narrow streets of the older city are converted into broad, straight boulevards, lined with palatial mansions and public buildings. The fortifications which partly surrounded the old and central portion of the city have disappeared to make way for tree-lined boulevards with fine squares at intervals. The old fortifications, of which the Porte de Valenciennes (15th century) is the chief survival, have been demolished to make room for boulevards and public gardens. Indeed, in the closing years of his life he produced some of his finest paintings, in which he set down with admirable truth the peculiar atmosphere and colour and teeming life of the boulevards, streets and bridges of Paris and Rouen. Of boulevards and parks aggregating 160 acres. With regard to the fine boulevards of the Upper Town, it may be mentioned that about 1765 they were planted with the double row of lime trees which still constitute their chief ornament by Prince Charles of Lorraine while governing the Netherlands for his sister-in-law, the empress Maria Theresa. The Senne was bricked in, and the fine boulevards du Nord, Anspach, Hainaut and Midi took the place of slums. The Bourse and the post-office are two fine modern buildings in this quarter of the city. The Senne, a small tributary of the Scheldt, flows through the lower town, but since 1868 it has been covered in, and some of the finest boulevards in the lower town have been constructed over the course of the little river. In 1907 an extensive system of new parks, parkways and boulevards was projected. The old town forms a nucleus of narrow, winding streets surrounded by boulevards, beyond which lie modern quarters with regular thoroughfares and public gardens. The old town, close to the river, forms a nucleus round which a newer and more extensive quarter, bordered by boulevards, has grown 'up; the suburbs of St Christophe and Deols lie on the right bank of the Indre. The municipal park system is one of unusual beauty, consisting of a chain of parks with a total area of about 1030 acres, encircling the city and connected by boulevards and driveways. The chief modern' buildings, such as the Athenaeum, with its Ionic facade and Byzantine dome, are principally on the quays and boulevards, and are constructed of stone. Bucharest is often called " The Paris of the East," partly from a supposed social resemblance, partly from the number of its boulevards and avenues. These streets are connected by an inner circle of boulevards, constructed just outside the canal, which marks the site of the town moat. An outer circle of boulevards, planted with trees and commanding the view of the suburbs, lies just beyond the present walls of the city, erected by the Spaniards in the 16th century; the entire length of these boulevards is traversed by an electric tramway 7 m. The older city, including both the Zealand and Amager portions, was formerly surrounded by a complete line of ramparts and moats; but pleasant boulevards and gardens now occupy the westward or landward site of fortifications. The main artery is the Gothersgade, running from Kongens Nytor y to the western boulevards, and separating a district of regular thoroughfares and rectangular blocks to the north from one of irregular, narrow and picturesque streets to the south. South-west from this point extends the line of gardens which occupy the site of former landward fortifications, pleasantly diversified by water and plantations, skirted on the inner side by three wide boulevards, Ostervold, Norrevold and Vestervold Gade, and containing noteworthy public buildings, mostly modern. There is one commissioner each, appointed by the mayor, for the parks and boulevards, police and public works departments. Handsome boulevards now skirt the town, the streets of which are clean and well-ordered, and a large public garden extends at the foot of the citadel, with a statue of Enguerrand de Monstrelet the chronicler. It has an extensive system of boulevards, parkways and parks (aggregating 2465 acres in 1908). The former, situated on the top of the hill, is of comparatively small extent, and forms almost a parallelogram, surrounded by ramparts of the 13th century, and, outside them, by boulevards, and entered by ancient gateways. The site thus gained was converted into new boulevards, while the railway to Neuss and Aix-la-Chapelle was diverted through the suburb of Bilk and thence across the Rhine by an iron bridge. Wide boulevards traverse the west of the town, which is also rendered attractive by numerous fountains fed by a fine aqueduct hewn in the rock. The town is irregularly built and its streets are steep and narrow, but it is surrounded by wide tree-lined boulevards, which have replaced the ancient fortifications, and has some fine churches. Its ancient ramparts have been destroyed, and it is now surrounded by boulevards, outside which run branches of the Therain. The more modern quarter which has grown up at the southern foot of the hill has handsome broad boulevards and villas, many of them with beautiful gardens, filled with semis tropical plants. The suburbs, with their broad and quiet boulevards on the site of the former fortifications, are steadily growing. The Landwehr Canal, leaving the Spree near the Schlesische Tor (gate), and rejoining it at Charlottenburg, after a course of 6 m., adds not a little to the charm of the southern and western districts, being flanked by fine boulevards and crossed by many handsome bridges.

WELCOME TO OUR NEWS AND EVENTS PAGE. Like us on Facebook! We recently launched our Facebook site. If you like your awards or promotional products that we crafted, be one of the first to like us on Facebook and share your support. The greatest compliment anyone can give us is to tell someone else about our company. We also would love to promote your event on our Facebook page. Simply take pictures of our products or better yet, someone receiving our products at your event, email those pictures to us with a brief description of your event, and as long as they do not reflect our company in a negative light, we will proudly post the images and information. LET US HELP YOU MAKE YOUR OWN NEWS and EVENTS WHAT'S NEW WITH US As a company, we are constantly growing and improving our business and products. In 2013, we decided to change our name and logo to Classic Awards & Promotions to embrace our growing promotions and novelties department. We are still the same great Trophies, Awards, Recognition, and Promotions company that we always have been...just better and offering more. Our extensive selection makes it EASY to find what you want. Then we'll customize it to your specifications, ALL IN ONE PLACE. We want to make it simple for our customers to get everything they need for an event or business all in one place. Our knowledgeable staff is full of great ideas and will help you find the right products to make your business or event even more special. SIGNS & BANNERS We now offer foil for our banner and sign printing. Contact us for details. Late 2012, we added more advanced banner printers and engravers to ensure we give our customers the greatest options and quality. We take pride in our work and finished products, so you can be proud to present them. Signs Custom plastic signs are one of our specialties. Call to discuss the best solution for your specific needs.

Then let us do the rest. From your ideas to our creative designs and final printed products, we are the place that does it all and does it right. Printer Specifications for Banners To create sign specific art, vector format is best, but if you need photos or greyscale images, then format your graphic file to 150 dpi to 300 dpi at actual size for a beautiful, high resolution printed product. The higher the resolution the better. Remember, just raising the dpi from 72 to 300 will not work. Art files need to start at the higher resolution. Most internet files are too low of a resolution to print into a sign or banner, so find the original higher resolution art to achieve the most success in getting a quality printed image.

Have 12 week old chickens and have over the last couple of weeks had several of the rumps pecked bloody even to the point of death of 1. The rest I have caught in time and treated with pine tar and they seem to be doing fine. Today had 2 pecked bloody and the only chicken with blood on face area was a rooster. (White Rock) Do they tend to do this? I have put him in his own jail cell....How long do I need to keep him separated or is this a habit that will lead to the dumplin pot?

Let our highly skilled medical aestheticians and MicroPen, bring back that youthful, beautiful healthy glow you’ve been missing. How does the DermaSweep MD system work? Using a medical grade variable-level vacuum system and an assortment of treatment tips, the DermaSweep wand gently lifts the skin against the appropriate treatment tip, removing the top most layer of skin. The system then vacuums away the dead skin in a precise and controlled manner. The skin is left smoother as the vacuum action wand stimulates blood flow, cleans the pores and moves the skin debris to a HEPA filter. The increased blood flow to the skin’s surface encourages collagen formation thus firming and toning the epidermis as well. Using the Epi-infusion option, skin specific treatments can also be applied to the skin during exfoliation.

Futile Tactic or Powerful Strategy? The False Futility Factor People who defend the status quo often take shelter behind the notion that “our divestment will not influence the share price or activities of fossil fuel companies since we have a comparatively small holding.” This argument is both incorrect and besides the point. It is a false argument because it relies on the false implicit assumption that ONLY our endowment will divest from fossil fuel companies. It does not take into account the ‘domino effect‘ that our divestment will have on other campaigns given the prominence of our university. Our divestment will propel other institutions to make the same decision, helping the global divestment campaign reach a tipping point where local campaigns rapidly increase in number and successes. The tipping point for the South Africa Apartheid divestment campaign was when the University of California divested its $1.7 billion in holdings in companies engaged in business in South Africa. The political conversation changed so much that Congress passed the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act in 1986, overriding President Reagan’s veto. Divestment’s Cumulative Effect Besides the cumulative effect of many divestments, which will in fact reduce the market for the shares of companies contributing to climate destabilization, there is also the moral and ethical cloud that will be imposed on the industry. The cumulative effect of divestment by hundreds or perhaps thousands of endowments, pension funds, religious groups and other pools of money managed for the social good can have a real impact on the life-denying business models of the companies from which we urge divestment. While academics continue to debate in economic terms whether the apartheid divestment campaign indeed played a role in toppling the regime, the individuals who took part in the campaign know that the true impact was political, not economic. Nelson Mandela also acknowledged this and, upon being released from prison and traveling to the United States, made his first stop the University of California, Berkley, where he thanked the students for their efforts. It should also be noted that Dr. Desmond Tutu himself, one of the foremost moral figures of our time, has also embraced the fossil fuel divestment campaign, calling for an “apartheid-style boycott to save the planet.” Tarnishing the Destructive Brands The devastation of our climate system can be remedied in part by the destruction of the reputation of those companies who not only exploit our fossil fuel addiction, but shamelessly pump money into the political system to block legislation to address the climate crisis. It is because of this influence that the United States is the only major country that lacks a comprehensive federal law that addresses climate change. The devious tactics employed by the Koch Brothers and other fossil fuel companies to target scientists, politicians, and organizations who take a stand against the fossil fuel industry are infamous and well documented; for instance, the United States is the only major country that has not ratified the Kyoto Protocol, and papers published in 2005 revealed that a Bush Administration official wrote to the Global Climate Coalition, whose members included ExxonMobil, British Petroleum and Shell, saying that the President had “rejected Kyoto in part based on input from you [the Global Climate Coalition].” Divestment is an imperative ethical response to the nefarious dealings of the money behind the fossil fuel industry, which chooses personal wealth over society’s health and wellbeing. Burnishing Columbia’s Reputation The Columbia University administration is on the wrong side of history with divestment from climate-clobbering fossil fuel companies in its refusal to address the issue. It took over 10 years for Columbia to finally divest from apartheid-related stocks after students first raised the issue in 1978, and that too was a moral and ethical issue now recognized as having been of huge proportions. Let us hope that the political, overly money-oriented administration does not take nearly as long with this divestment. Based on scientific predictions, we have precious little time left to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and avoid runaway climate change.

Our dreams are mere dust collecting on our broken souls today. Why? Because, it seems, Taylor Swift will NOT be performing at the Grammys -- and therefore our fevered fantasy that she take the stage with Bey (Tayonce, anyone?) for some kind of show-stopping, glitter-choked number is just that. A fantasy. (Not that Beyoncé has even been announced as a performer or anything. We just dream big, guys -- as one should.) "Since my whole life is wrapped up and entangled in the planning of The 1989 World Tour right now, I’m not going to be performing on the Grammys this year. I need this time to focus only on the tour," Swift wrote on Tumblr this week, after trying to placate us by revealing that she will be handing out the award for Best New Artist. That's all well and good, Tay, but couldn't you have at least hit the stage with Best New Artist nominee HAIM to give us a teaser of said upcoming tour? Perhaps you guys could do a Fleetwood Mac cover or something? Just think about it. Everyone loves Fleetwood Mac. Swift was quick to assure us, however, that while she waits in the audience to find out if she's scored any of the three awards she's nominated for, she will be putting on a performance of some kind, at least: IE, she will be dancing. Like no one, everyone and each and every one of her BFFs is watching. "I’ll be there having a dance party/rage fest in the audience," she wrote, plainly, and our minds were slightly allayed of their broken-dream-induced turmoil and catapulted into an infinite loop of the below:

From Music to work and ever'thin in between. So I decided to put together here book to tell you how life is. I found 24 artifacs about the things that happen durin this time. 10: It sounds to me like this is telling about a slave trying to escape. The hand writing is quite messy. It’s also on unlined paper. It talks about a horn blowing; my guess is that that is what happens when a slave tries to run. They have the dogs out and everything. I noticed that there is a number on the top of the page, the number being 2645. There is no date showing when this piece was written. I wonder if this slave ever got free. Is this song telling about how he got out? Whatever happened to him? | " The other man puts a nickel in the phonograph, watches the disk slip free and the turntable rise up under it.

The poster shows a globe with the statue of liberty’s arm going out of it. I also see a pile of books too. The setting probable is in New York. I see FREEDOM of religion Of expression Of want Of fear To show people that they can get what they want. It looks like they want to allow freedom of everything. The audience is the American people. It was created between 1936 and 1941. The tools for this would be paper and markers of some kind. That we take things for granite nowadays. What would be different would be the use of online pictures instead of markers and stuff. The theme would be the same in today’s era. 15: We sawd plenty of these on are way.

Web. 13 Jan. 2011. 17: The first thing I noticed is the car and the people around the car. I see some people that appear to preparing to go to a big event in town. I see the words “Plays and Players”, that I’m guessing that this is a masculine car. I see the name of the companies that build the car. I think this advertisement is an ad that is attempting to get publicity for this Paige model of car. I see the driveway that the car is on and the walkway to where the car, which is imposing that richer people, would like to drive this car. I wonder who or what kind of people bought this car. When was his car seen more often? Where was this model more often found? This looks more like a luxury car, so why would some be able to afford it, and if they did how would they afford it? | “A huge red transport truck stood in front of the little roadside restaurant." 18: In this picture I can see a family with great poverty. The first thing I noticed was their make-shift tent. Also in this picture you can see how depressed everyone is. You can also tell how poor they are by their cloths. There could be many reason this image was made. It could have been to portray the great depression. It could have been made to simply show the history of the event. In the image everyone is just sitting around with nothing to do. I think that this picture was made towards the end of the depression judging by the way they look. I believe the audience was intended for future lookers. From examining this image I can get an example of how a family might have lived during the dustbowl. If a similar picture was made today to show poverty some things would be the same such as living conditions. I think it would be different, because the picture might not have been taken in America because we are always trying to help other countries. In this picture there is a group of people perhaps a family. Some things in the picture consist of: a make-shift tent a rocking chair boxes and a group of people. This picture was taken in 1937. These people were most likely kicked out of their homes and had no other choice but to live outside. 19: “Lange, Dorothea. Poverty. 1937. Friday, December 03, 2010. A little Reality.

Ohio Memory. Web. 14 Feb. 2011. 22: This journal seems to have been through a lot. The pages are worn down so much you can barely read the writing. I can see that this journal belonged to Charles Nelson Gaylord. He wrote about his travels and adventures. He worked at Monroe Falls Paper Mill. This journal was from 1899. He also discusses his daily activities. The journal itself is hard to read due to the years.I wonder what all he did in those days. I also wonder if he wrote anymore before or after this one, if not why just one? 23: "Ohio Memory, a Product of the Ohio Historical Society and the State Library of Ohio | View Images." Ohio Memory.

The children made up a game where they would take all their toy furniture and move it to a corner of the room and then move it to another corner, pretending they were moving to a different house. One child told the teacher they don’t have enough money for rent and had to move. The first thing I noticed on the page was a picture of a boy who looks like he is in the back of a vehicle with a bunch of furniture and other item packed in. The purpose of this document was to show a child’s perspective on the great depression. This is one of the most interesting documents describing the great depression, because it gives a real first person like feel on the situation. This document was created by Russell Freedman. I believe the author intended this to be for everyone and anyone. You can learn a lot about this document because it gives a very accurate scenario on how the great depression was thought about by children. I think if this document was written today it would be very similar because, it is a first person story. They were a group of kids and their teacher. They took toy furniture from corner to corner. This was during the great depression. It was in Philadelphia. They were in a nursery school. The children did this because this is what they saw their own parent and others doing. They just mimicked their parents. 25: Freedman, Russell. “Children of the Great Depression” “Challenging the Bookworm Blog. Clarion books, 05 Aug. 2005.

It looks like the man just received mews that he has to leave and he is crying about it. It is made in 1935. The audience is probably the viewers who saw this piece of art. They probably used pencil for this. I learned that life in the depression era is really hard. The thing that would be different is probably the technique use for this. The thing that would be the same is the pencil. 28: On the cover I notice the song is called In the Cradle Nest and the font of the letters looks dark and creepy. I also see a mother sitting beside a cradle, and the creators of the words and the music. You can also tell right away that this Is a lullaby. Lullabies are songs sung to children to help them sleep. I think this song was composed by Clark W. Evans. I believe this song was intended to be song by parents. If someone was to make this song today the lyrics would most likely change a bit and so would the title because not many people use cradles today but I think that this song is still common today Who- This song is made for parents. What- it is a lullaby when-mid 1930’s but this song is still sung today. Where- this song can be sang anywhere. It is most common to be sung in a Childs bedroom. Why- this song is intended to help your children sleep. How- music/singing is used to relax. So this is a song used my parents to relax their children so they could sleep. 29: “Evans, Clark W.

The first thing I noticed was the barrel of vegetables; at first I thought it was a cup with some weird drink in it. It’s just a barrel of food as if it’s for those who don’t have enough. I think this poster was made for those who have surplus food on their hands. To make this they probably used cameras and or paint. It should have a person in the picture to add effect. If this poster was made today it would probably show a picture of someone, most likely a child, from a third world country eating a meal that they haven’t had all week. I wonder who the person was that came up with this idea; what their original idea was, and when it was made. I wonder where these posters were at, and why were they need during this time. 32: "They saw the tank legs now, and the house, a square little box unpainted and bare, and the barn, low-roofed and huddled." | "New Deal Network Photo Library."

This article is about how a third of family’s homes are in bad condition the first thing I noticed is that there are a lot of statistics and charts representing the percentages on the conditions of houses. There are about sixty sections discussing housing. This article was written 70 years ago. The article looks like it could have been written just yesterday, because it was edited when put on the website. This writing was made to show how bad housing is and to attempt to do anything that can help out families with bad living conditions. This article was written by wood, Edith Elmer and published by survey associates, Inc. This document was intended to be read by anyone who can help such as the government or even wealthy people who would donate to the poor. You can learn a lot about housing during the great depression in this article. But if It was made today the percentages would be much lower. 34: Smith, John T.

There are a lot of words in the advertisements the ones that are important are the title, and other large font words. Some things listed are that it has 1001 uses. Also they will give you a demonstration of the tool. This image was made to help promote a product. It was made for anyone who have a job that requires a tool similar to this one, the audience is more likely men. This advertisement was probably made in the late 30’s. Now a day an advertisement similar to this would be a commercial or maybe a newspaper for a smaller local business. 36: Milltown, N.J.

Hows that? Pres. and Mrs Roosevelt, could you please send this amount by April 5. I'd like to pay this out, before my parents receive a bill from the Docters office. O.K. Please. Sincerely, yours, O. C. 37: Reply to the letter: March 27, 1935 My dear O. C.: Mrs. Roosevelt asks me to acknowledge your letter and to express her regret that because of the great number of similar requests she receives, she has found it impossible to comply with them, much as she would like to assist all those who appeal to her. Assuring you of Mrs. Roosevelt's sympathy, I am Very sincerely yours, Secretary to Mrs. Roosevelt (M. A.) [A second letter from O.C. followed.] 38: Milltown, N.J.

C. Milltown, Public School, Milltown, N. J. [Reply to the second letter is not available.] 39: I found this letter on a website. (http://newdeal.feri.org/eleanor/oc0335.htm) It wasn’t a picture of the original letter, it was typed. I notice first that it was written by a little girl and was directed at the president at the time and his wife. She was asking if they could send her some money to pay her doctor bill. The girl does not want her parents to know that she was going to the doctor. My guess is because they can’t afford it either and she didn’t want them getting mad or worried. She feared that if she couldn’t get the money soon that the bill would keep going up and she’d be in serious trouble. There was a reply from Mrs. Roosevelt’s secretary explaining that they can’t send the money due to so many requests. The girl replied begging that she wouldn’t tell anybody. There wasn’t a reply to that letter that we know of. I wonder if she ever got that bill paid. | "Dear Mrs. Roosevelt: The Letters." New Deal Network. Web. 31 Jan. 2011. 40: "A0541: Charles L. Davis."

I personally think he’s a bit funny looking, but has a sense of something great to come. I can read all of the text clearly. The brochure is about a comedian performing at the Windsor Theatre, on May 28. With as much color and text there is on this poster, I assume it was a big deal. I’m sure lots of people showed up. Although I’m not sure how many exactly and couldn’t even give you an estimate. Back in those days things like this probably happened quite often since there were no TVs or Game boys. I wonder if he was the Dane Cook of his time. Though I’m sure either way he could crack people up. 42: The first thing I notice is the girl sitting in the center of the page. The program has a quote from William Morris. Then has a following paragraph that talks about the clothes he makes. I wonder if he designed the outfits that the people wear in the plays. The Poster is pink. It’s also a little worn on the edges. The picture behind the girl looks like it has people on it in a field with goats or something. There are happy and sad clown faces around the edges. There are also instruments. At the bottom is the publishing company. 43: "A0539: The Grand Opera House Program."

It appears to be on a piece of parchment. The page is really big. I see a bunch of text not writing. I think this was made to express what he felt during that time. The person who created it was probably a man. Who was intended to read this was probably the same person who wrote it. They received a letter saying that they have to get out of their house. They used a pen and paper for this. That life was hard, and you have to challenge life. The one thing that would be different would be the material that was used. They would use pen still in today’s life. | "Ohio Memory Collection. (1903): 1. Print." 46: I notice the text at first. I can read a few words of this journal, like I asked the, generally ., and other words and phrases. The thing that looks unfamiliar is the text. It is arranged in the form of a Social workers report. It appears to be on a regular piece of paper. The size is large. To show how horrible the conditions were back in the dust bowl era. I think William Smallwood made this. I think the city was meant to read this. They used a typewriter for this. If it were created today it would be on computer instead. | "The men sat still - thinking - figuring." 47: Smallwood, William. "J.F.X. Walsh." Print. 48: N.Y.C. W.P.A. "Eat These Every Day." WPA. Web. 23 Jan. 2011. 49: I see a poster board that has every food group that one should eat every day. The first thing I noticed was the food in the blue oval. There is a bottle of milk; some vegetables, some fruit, a carton of eggs, a plate of meat, a wedge of cheese and some bread. Everything is placed around the milk. I see a list of what is in the picture; the words are instructions of how much of these items should be eaten by someone. It’s a poster attempting to get more people to eat healthily. I think this poster was made somewhere between 1941- 1943 when the great depression was coming to a close. The audience for this poster is the mid and lower class families, so that the countries people are more healthy. From this poster we can confirm that people seem to have poor diets back then too. If this poster were made today it would probably have a scientific chart to show how much children should eat and how much exercise they should get a day. 50: In this letter I see a young girl merely asking for sympathy from a richer person. The first thing I noticed was how the girl complements the first lady. I was able to read the entire letter and the reply she got from, not the first lady but her assistant. She talks about her will to finish school but lacking of funds and how her family was brought down with her father leaving. The strange thing is how her father disappeared after law school. Her wording goes from admiration to complaining and then to a slight form of begging. Her last paragraph ends with a form of begging and pleading, one of her quotes is “How honored I would feel to be wearing your clothes." This letter was made as a plea for help and support. The letter was signed with the initials M. I. Its intent was to ask the first lady for help during the tough times. This letter was probably written when the farmers had to sell their land and other little possessions. If someone wrote a letter like this today they would probably be writing to a homeless shelter or a charity organization. But it would explain in similar reasons that they disserve a donation from something or someone. 51: Letter to Mrs. Roosevelt. 1 Jan. 1936.

Now it's ready. you can do anything with a harmonica: thin reedy single tone, or chords, or melody with rhythm chords." 53: On this poster, I notice two kids building something. Since the title is Sand Modeling I'm going to take a wild guess and say they're building a sand castle. It looks more like a house. The little girl is placing a flag on the top of the house. The flag looks like an American flag. It claims it's for younger children but in those days people of all ages would enjoy something to do. I wonder how many kids actually had time to do this. Was this just for wealthy families? 54: This letter is a letter about several schools that have not been able to attend school because they lack food, clothing and for some, both. The entire letter is readable and it is a letter that is asking the first lady to help children in need of food and clothing. There is a part that said that one group has helped her students already, and she asks for more support. First she explains that she is surprised that she is reading her letter. Next she explains what her job is and the why she needs help. She says that ”many children of my school would be unable to attend school had it not been for this organization” (Save the Children Fund). This writing was to thank and ask for more support for the children she supervises. It was written by someone with the initials C.B.S. The letter was intended to be read by the first lady. This letter was written around the peak of the great depression. 55: A.C.S. "Letter to the First Lady." Letter to Mrs. Roosevelt. 26 Jan. 1936. MS.

I see a tent attached to the car with rope and held down with old tires. The jalopy seems like its barely being held together. I see a family around a pit stop fire maybe to make a meal. I think this was made to show the hardships and living conditions that people on the move had. I think this was made maybe when people were more often seen on the move from the dust bowl. I am guessing that this image is for the rich to see what working families had to go through. I can see that this was made with standard lenses and that the family are near some woods or forest, on the outside of someone’s property judging from the fence line. If this were made today the family might have a vehicle hauling a pop-up camper of a large weather proof tent, they would probably still be using a fire to cook their meals and stay warm. | "Al started the motor and backed the truck up to the gas pump" 58: I see a man and a women waving at a airplane going over head. I notice the message in the square. I see the message I pledge you-I pledge myself to a new deal for the American people. The thing that would be different would be that it would be in real life not a cartoon. I t looks to me like the man is getting left behind by the airplane. I think it was the dust bowl that happened at this time because the farmer doesn’t have a house or belongings. The audience is the American people, because many didn’t realize it was hard for farmers. It’s about The Great Depression.

TH eweapons could be a symbol for something. I see the white house in the background. What happening was probably the election of that year. The audience was the people of the United States. Well in my eyes I think it was whether the new deal was a good decision or not. I think he was kind of in the middle of the two sides.

Author(s): Leema G, Kaliamurthy J, Geraldine P, Thomas PA Abstract Share this page Abstract PURPOSE: To document the clinical profile of patients with keratitis due to Aspergillus flavus and to elaborate on differences in the aflatoxin-producing potential of keratitis strains versus environmental strains of A. flavus. METHODS: Over a 6-month period, strains of Aspergillus flavus were isolated in culture from corneal scrape or biopsy material of patients who presented with suppurative keratitis (clinical isolates). The strains were confirmed to be A. flavus by molecular methods (amplification of the internal transcribed spacer 2 [ITS 2] region and direct sequencing followed by comparative GenBank analysis). The aflatoxin-producing potential of each strain was determined by thin-layer chromatography. The ability of each strain to form sclerotia in Czapek-Dox agar (CDA) after 7 days incubation at 30 degrees C in the dark and to produce a beige ring in yeast extract sucrose agar supplemented with methyl beta-cyclodextrin and sodium desoxycholate (YESD medium) after 3 days incubation at 30 degrees C was also assessed. For comparison, the tests were also run on 10 strains of A. flavus (identity confirmed by molecular methods) collected from local farming areas (environmental isolates). RESULTS: Aflatoxin B1 was detected in 16 (80\%) of 20 culture filtrate or mycelial homogenate samples of the clinical isolates (mean concentration: 366.7+/-125.4 parts per billion [ppb]) but in only eight (40\%) of 20 samples of environmental isolates (mean concentration: 306.6+/-125.4 ppb). Seven of the eight aflatoxin-producing clinical isolates and two of the four aflatoxin-producing environmental isolates formed sclerotia (>400 microm) and a beige ring in culture. CONCLUSIONS: Aflatoxin B1 was detected in a significantly higher percentage of growth samples of clinical isolates (80\%) than growth samples of environmental isolates (40\%) (chi(2)=6.667; p=0.0098); the therapeutic implications of this finding require further study. The production of sclerotia and a beige ring in culture appear to be useful markers of aflatoxin-producing potential in strains of A. flavus isolated from keratitis.

Cardi B Breaks Another Big Billboard Record, Surpasses Beyonce on the Charts Cardi B is still breaking major records. Billboard reports that this go around, the Bronx rapper has surpassed Beyoncé on the charts. She is the third act—and first woman—with five of the top 10 hits on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in a single week since the list began in 1958. She's now tied Kendrick Lamar and Drake for the most concurrent top 10s. Cardi was previously tied with Beyoncé with four. Cardi accomplished the record-breaking feat off the strength of her new collaboration with Bruno Mars, the "Finesse" remix which is at no. 1 on theHot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. She's also in the top 10 on that chart for her feature with G-Eazy "No Limit" (no. 3), “Motorsport" with Migos and Nicki Minaj (no. 4), "Bartier Cardi" (no. 7), and "Bodak Yellow" (no. 10). To top it all off, Cardi B is the only artist to achieve the feat with her first five chart entries. This latest chart breaking news comes as it was reported that she's inked her first movie deal, which she'll be shooting sometime in March. As of right now, there's no word on the tittle of the movie or what it's about. Next up, Cardi will be at the Grammys on Jan. 26, where she'll likely perform "Finesse" with Bruno. 25 Best R&B Albums of 2017

#tech #elit #queer Really pleased to be included in the next Electronic Literature Collection. If you haven’t had a chance to check out Queerskins, try it in Chrome or Safari. Thanks as always to my collaborator Cyril Tsiboulski, interactive designer and co-founder of Cloudred Studio. Queerskins explores the nature of love and forgiveness through the story of a young gay physician from a rural Missouri Catholic family who dies of AIDS at the beginning of the epidemic. It consists of 40,000 words of diaristic text, two hours of audio monologues from five different characters, and over a hundred photos and videos curated from Flickr Commons and YouTube and beautiful little Fiip videos of L.A. by filmmaker Jarrah Gurrie.

Porter Goss appears to be on his way to becoming a real hero. The New York Times reports that two more senior CIA officials, whose names have not been disclosed because they are under cover, have left the agency rather than comply with Goss’s new, no-leaks regime. Both officials were part of the Directorate of Operations, apparently the division of the CIA most in need of a shake-up. This is great news. At the rate Goss is revamping the CIA, we may, at some future date, have a competent intelligence organization dedicated to protecting the country’s security and not to advancing the interests of the Democratic Party. - Subscribe now!...

Normal – Head coach Anthony Jones moved one step closer to his to 100th victory career by claiming only his second win at Eddie G. Robinson stadium 23-9 over Grambling State. As with any first contest there were a number of penalties as both teams combined for 18 flags. The Bulldogs collected nine of those for 131 yards. "Our young people played really well," said Alabama A&M coach Anthony Jones, whose lineup featured 15 new starters, plus a new punter and kicker. "We made some mistakes but overall they played well, well enough to get the victory," Jones said. "Now what we're going to try to do is fix the mistakes that we made and get ready for the next one." The game started fast as A&M forced a fumble on GSU's first play of 2013. David Dagrin popped the ball out of Grambling's Juwan Martin hand as he was being wrapped up by a host of Bulldogs. Senior Derrick Harris then jumped on it the secure the first turnover for the Maroon & White defense. AAMU was unable to capitalize on the situation as the offenses' first four plays accounted for no yards. The first quarter would end in a scoreless tie after 29 plays were run by both teams with neither getting in the end zone. The one positive note was punter Rashad Anderson who had already collected a whopping 101 yards with his foot. His final punt of the first half pinned the Tigers on their one yard line. The second half started on a second and nine situation for Grambling which resulted in an incomplete pass that was broken up by newcomer Quentin Parks. Alabama A&M's first points of the new season came on the next play as Robert Nelson tackled the Tigers running back in the end zone for a safety giving A&M their first lead of the year 2-0. "We had a lot of kids that stepped up tonight and played well," defensive coordinator Brawnski Towns. "It started with the D-line. (Anthony) Lanier did a good job on pass rushing, also (Reginald) Bailey. The whole front line did a great job. The secondary played well for the first game out, with some new people." That score led to the Bulldogs first touchdown which came after an eight play 33 yard drive that saw Ball State transfer Barrington Scott dive into the end zone to push the lead to 9-0. Grambling would finally get on the board with a 20 yard field goal on the very next drive. Knowing he would feel comfortable with a bigger lead the Jones led squad grabbed an interception from Grambling when senior Tremaine Shepherd picked the ball off over the middle. AAMU then scored another touchdown when Brandon Wells connected with tight end Toriono Upshaw for their first TD of the year. The score gave AAMU a 16-3 lead at half-time. On the first drive of the new half A&M used a seven play 78 yard drive to add to their lead 23-9. Wells once again found a receiver this time it was Montauirus Smith who caught a 24 yard score for his first touchdown. GSU finally found some life after Wells threw his first interception. That turnover led to their first TD of the year when J. Runner found the end zone for a four yard score. A&M then ran the ball for the final two and a half minutes and secured Jones 98th career win, 80th Bulldog victory, first in the month of August and first of the 2013 season. The win was Jones second ever in the iconic stadium and second straight in Grambling. Starting quarterback Brandon Wells proved he was ready finishing 15 of 28 with two touchdowns and a pick. Wells also picked up 28 yards on nine carries. Barrington Scott rushed the ball 16 times for 77 yards and a score while Brandon Eldemire collected 21 yards on 10 rushes. Nelson finished the game with seven tackles, three for a loss of four yards and a safety. Anderson ended his first collegiate game punting for 202 yards averaging 40.4 with three being pinned in the 20 yard line. His longest was 58 yards. Grambling was led by Nicholas Peoples who secured 10 stops for and a sack for seven yards. Cedric Skinner rushed for 73 yards while quarterback D. J. Williams ended the game six of 20 for 62 yards. A&M now prepares themselves to play in-state rival Tuskegee University in the fourth annual Louis Crews Classic and 22nd Hall of Fame game.

For those American Football Fans: Electronic Arts, a video game developer with a wide array of sports-themed video games, believes in taking something that worked, and retooling and improving upon it so that it works even better. Such is the case for Madden 10, the first incarnation of the game hitting the scene over twenty years ago. This franchise just keeps getting better and better, and that’s why we name it the best football video game ever. In Madden 10, players can choose to make play selection as simple (letting the computer select plays for you automatically) or as complicated as he / she chooses. Your first stop is the Madden Test, which gauges your running, passing, run defense and pass defense skills, in order to adjust the game’s difficulty to your particular strengths and weaknesses. And it’s ever evolving – every time you play, your skill level is automatically adjusted. There’s a virtual trainer so you can bone up on specific skills, a rewind feature so you can try a play again, and a backtrack feature, where the game shows you what you coulda, shoulda, woulda done to save a bad play. There’s even a hardcore mode Front Office mode, where you can take complete control over every and any aspect of your organization from scouting to salaries. There’s a lot more features that I could talk about, but how’s ’bout I just cut to the chase? Get this game. Note that Madden 11 is in the works, and improvements have been made, notably in the way that runners catch the ball. In the past, they’ve essentially slowed down, jumped up and grabbed the ball. In this version, they’ll have a smoother ability to catch the ball in stride. As well, this version of the game touts improved aggressive short routes, and improved sideline / end zone awareness for receivers. All of the improvements will open up the playbook to more options. If you’re interested in other types of gaming, why not get adventurous and try online slots at online casinos USA that accept US players? The simple truth is that I love to play all types of these games. I can’t get enough. There are many formats to try and most of them are very enjoyable. Many of these are so realistic both in play and graphics. If you have not had the chance to take a look at these recently, you will be amazed at how far they have come. In addition to being able to play online with anyone around the world, there are tournaments that are held to see who the best person at any given game really is. Some of these have prizes comparable to some peoples annual salary rather that a trivial video game contest.

Dustin Williams drove in three runs, including a fifth-inning solo home run Wednesday night, as the San Luis Obispo Blues downed the Santa Paula Halos 6-2 in a summer collegiate baseball game at SLO Stadium. Williams had a two-run single in the first inning for the Blues (10-4, 2-3 California Collegiate League) and added the solo home run in the fifth. San Luis Obispo then tacked on three more runs in the eighth to put the game away, highlighted by a Tanner Gardner RBI single in the inning. Gardner, who was 6 for 6 in a rout of the Santa Maria Packers on Tuesday, has eight hits in his past 10 at-bats. Brendan Nail pitched six scoreless innings to get the win for San Luis Obispo. He allowed three hits and struck out three. Nick King was 3 for 4 for the Blues and has reached based in 11 straight games. San Luis Obispo hosts the Long Beach Legends on Thursday in a nonleague game.

OK, now this is being written "on time". Late night of the 27 of July, so it is on the same day. I left my camera in my Pelican case from the shoot the day before, so I didn't have it with me at work. I only got a few moments of wandering around a little before sundown. I am posting this a day late. My excuse is I didn't even get home until 12:30am today (2015-07-27) and I only shot a few test images with the Fuji this day. Most of the shooting, well, ALL of the actual shooting was done with the Canon 5D3, but I got in a couple test shots and figured I would see how the image came out. Still getting used to working with the Fuji's raw files, but this is a test shot I got. Today's photos are my lunch and my friend Matt's dog Pixel being lifted, and then not being lifted. Today there are more pictures than normal. I went to Cruisin' Grand in Escondido and wandered around a little. So, here are the pictures. Sometimes I just get a burrito to go and eat lunch here. Tofu House in Kearny Mesa, hadn't eaten here in a while. Right hand drive Toyota Land Cruiser spotted driving home! The clouds looked kinda rad today. This was on the wall at work.

We are stepping into a series of gateways that will open us and push us to detox the mind, body and soul. This past month has been a time of intense (almost frenzied) action. Spirit is offering this advice to keep us from getting lost in the busy-ness; take action steps in order to connect and align with your core/inner knowing lest you become exhausted and miss opportunities—take heart in knowing that this will be a time of INTENSE FEELING—be gentle with yourself…and others. The new moon occurring on June 23rd will be in Cancer and it will be pulling you into your emotional depths. Flow. PRACTICAL STEPS TO TAKE LEADING UP TO THE NEW MOON: *Meditate and then journal or voice memo your insights–this is a time of heightened intuition and psychic connection. *Take baths and drink lots of water—-immerse yourself in the watery cancer new moon energy. *Get out in nature, it is time to slow down and connect with Gaia’s heartbeat. *Schedule time to be alone, you cannot just hope time will appear. *Listen to music, find your inner rhythm and engage with it. Allow your SENSES to come into your point of focus. Venus in Taurus calls to our SENSUALITY. Take time to experience touch, food, drink, the earth beneath your feet….feel…. July 9th brings a full moon in Capricorn that has other astrological aspects (I’m looking at you Mars and Pluto!) that will be making this a time where tensions and tempers may flare. Something to remember about anger; it shows where you are being trespassed against–and where you are trespassing against your Self. Listen to it—-but try not to REACT to it. Do not let it move you. Ground and center—-then from that place of clarity—RESPOND. If you have been paying attention to your emotional, physical, intuitive and energetic bodies you will be able to better act as a Sacred Witness to the up coming gateways. The quick and dirty of it; check yourself before you wreck yourself. There is a sweetness to the upcoming gateways…..a divine dance with the senses, the ego, your desires and thoughts….and if you allow and process it (own your shit!) you may see a clearer path and vision opening before you. Come 2018, get ready to take flight. June 21st is the Summer/Winter solstice. The day out of time is July 25th. A major gateway and anchor point. We then head into the Lion’s Gate August 5th through August 15th, where we will receive codes of light. Then we have a full solar eclipse on August 21st. This is the first time since 1979 (my birth year) that we will have a full solar eclipse over the United states. Are you feeling the energy building? I will be posting on this later in the season. Blessings to you~~~~~~

Pros: Love the balance and pop off of this bat. Has been a favorite with our 8u team. Would highly suggest the Cat 6 for players making that first jump to the big barrels. Bat Pack Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bats: MJBBC6 3-Pack * Click on each bat in the bat pack to get individual features for that bat Pros: Love the balance and pop off of this bat. Has been a favorite with our 8u team. Would highly suggest the Cat 6 for players making that first jump to the big barrels. Pros: Looks good, Kids love saying, "Cat 6...Cat 6...Cat 6" Cons: The bat is dead. Small sweet spot. I got a 27/17 for my 7 year old and he doesn't use it any more. He went back to his older Easton XL3 27/17. I will throw a half bucket with the Easton XL3 and a half bucket with the Cat 6 and their is a noticeable difference in favor of the Easton. I read all of the reviews on bats and wonder, "how do 7 year olds put dents in bats??", well he did it in his first BP with the CAT 6. He's an average 7 year old and has slightly above average bat speed. I took it back to Marucci's head quarters since we live close to Baton Rouge. They offered to swap it out for free, but didn't have his size that day. I could bring it back, but I won't bother. He uses the Easton. With that said, I am a huge fan of Marucci items (helmets, fielding gloves, apparel, wooden bats), but pass on the Cat 6. Pros: My son loves this bat. I haven't seen too many Marucci bats around, but I tried this one out and I am very happy with it. Great barrel and pop. My son can't wait for the season to start. Cons: Haven't come across any. Pros: My 6 year old son has always been an above average hitter. The pop on this bat is ridiculous... ball comes off hot and it's ready to go right out of the wrapper. After swinging Eastons and being displeased with the 2015 Mako, I decided to get him this bat. It is something special. Well balanced and ridiculous pop! Cons: Little pricey. Pros: not onlyvis the bat more amazing then we expected but the ahipping process was fast! definitly will be doing more buisness with thia company! Pros: BAT SEEMS TO HAVE GOOD POP RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX . I CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OLD CAT 5 AND THE CAT 6. WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE ABOUT THE DENTS . Pros: Awesome pop. Great feel. Bat is hot right out of the shoot. Cons: Too soon to tell. Prefer BBCOR bats and this aluminum - but it's been the real deal so far. Pros: great grip, looks good, crushes the ball, batter doesnt have to swing out of their shoes to put the ball in the grass!!!!! Pros: got bat for my grandson and had made a world of difference in his swing. bat is very well balanced and he loves it Cons: nothing at all Pros: This is a really well balanced bat! The weight is really evenly distributed which made it easy for my 7 year old to swing. He had trouble swinging other 27 drop 17 bats since he is tall and thin but not this one! It has great pop. It has less vibration than other bats tried by my son Cons: None so far but we only have only had it about 1 month Pros: good grip evenly balanced for my boy Cons: aintfound one yet Pros: So far this seems like a good bat. Have not had games yet, but in the cage my son really seems to like it. Seems to have good pop and balance. Cons: Nothing as of yet. Pros: great pop with little to no vibration in the handle no matter where on the bat my son hits the ball. Cons: The bat grip has already started to wear off. First time in the cage and halfway through my son noticed the grip tearing up. Easy fix. We custom his bats with lizard skin anyway sonthis made it easier to justify to mom to go buy more baseball stuff. Pros: my son likes this bat, great pop and for my 6 year old rookie it gives him big confidence. Cons: nothing bad to say Pros: good pop Cons: none yet Pros: My son loves the bat, he tried out for his Travel team and I must say the coaches were impressed with his hitting, This bat is well balanced and feels great. He made the team and looking forward to continuing hitting with this bat, he got the 27" Cat 6 and he is 8 years old. Pros: Bought this bat for my sons 9u team and it has quickly become the go to bat! Cons: none so far Pros: A great bat for swing speed. Easy for the players to make solid contact, it is balanced for speed and control. Not as much pop as we hoped, but still has plenty of power. Pros: Awesome bat..lots of pop Cons: actually weighs 17.8 oz..but this bat is awsome Pros: sounds great, the ball jumps off the bat, weighted nicely for a jr bat. My 7 year old son just got this bat and he loves it, he is a little small for the size but he swings it well and the ball jumps off the barrel compared to the bat he was using. it was supposed to have a blemished grip and came with a free one, but the grip looks amazing so we have a back up grip now. Cons: the vibration from inside pitches hurt his hands, but he keeps swinging. Got a question about the Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6 ? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question OR Is there a major difference between Cat 6 and Cat 7? The major difference is the 2018 Marucci CAT 7 -10 Senior League Baseball Bat: MSBC7X10 features the AV2 knob to assist in vibration and has a sweet spot twice the size of the Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6. My son is 7, weighs 50 lbs and is 4'1". Needs a bat with the USA stamp on it. Does this have the stamp or recommend another? Unfortunately Marucci does not make any USA certified bats so the Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6 would not be legal for your son. Based on his height and weight, we would recommend getting a USA bat in a 28 inch length. The weight of the bat is more reflective on the player's strength but generally speaking you are seeking either a 16 ounce (-12 bat) or 17 ounce (-11 model). Not sure to go with 26/16 or 27/17. His T-Ball bat is 26/12. He just turned 6 but he is tall. Based on the fact that his previous bat weighted just 12 ounces I would recommend using the Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6 in the 26"/16 ounce size. What is the drop weight on this bat? The Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) will have a -10 length to weight ratio. Can my grandsons (10 and 9 years of age) use this bat for recreation baseball in Georgia? I would recommend checking with the league to ask if they are still permitting bats for use that have the USSSA 1.15 stamp on them. If they are permitting bats with that stamp, this Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) would be fine for use. That being said, this CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel bat is meant for coach pitch and machine pitch baseball. If your players are playing in kid pitch baseball leagues, the CAT bat that you will want to view is the 2018 Marucci CAT 7 -10 Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBC7X10). Does this bat have the USA Baseball stamp on it? No, unfortunately the Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6 does not feature the USA Baseball certification stamp on it. This model is only certified with the USSSA certification stamp. Does this have the 2 1/4 inch barrel? The Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6 has a 2 3/4 inch barrel. My son is almost 7 years old, about 48" tall and a little over 50lbs. In the summer he plays coach pitch and now he started machine pitch for fall. Is there a bat that you would recommend for both? It's hard to recommend a bat for both as coach pitch and machine pitch leagues can have different bat rules. If both of your leagues allow 2 3/4" barrel bats, then this would be a good bat to use. My son is 5 and in coach's pitch this fall. Height is 44" and weight is 37 pounds. The CAT 6 looks like it has the best reviews. Your recommendations? Any other bats other than this one and recommended size? It would be hard to find a better bat for a young player than the MJBBC6. Based on your player's height and weight, I would suggest a 27" 17 ounce for that bat. My son is 7 years old, 49" tall, and he only weighs 49 pounds. I was thinking about going with the 25"/15 oz size of this bat. What do you recommend? Based upon you player's height and weight, I think that he could probably use the larger sizes of this Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6). I would probably recommend the 27"/17 oz size of this CAT 6 bat. Can this bat be used for 8U machine pitch, I think it's at 41 mph? The Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6 is designed for coach pitch leagues and we would not recommend it for machine pitch at 41 MPH as this speed will damage the bat rather quickly. Boy is 7, 49 inches tall, and 65 lbs. Do you think a 27/17 is too small? Based on your son's height and weight I would recommend the 27"/17 ounce Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6). Currently, my six year old is using an Easton Mako JBB (27"/15 oz) for his coach pitch league (swings it well). Looking to get him a new bat that is a -10. Looking at the Marucci CAT JBB (26/16) or the Marucci Hex Composite (27/17). Which direction should I go? Since your player is currently swinging a 27" bat, I would recommend keeping him at that same length. Because of that, I would probably suggest getting the 2016 Marucci Hex Alloy (MSBAHAX10) or the Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) in the 27"/17 oz size. That 17 oz weight may provide a little bit of an adjustment period for your player, but I think he will be just fine with time. Both of the bats have been excellently rated bats and I really believe that either would be a great bat for your player. However, if you wanted to get the better deal, I would suggest this CAT 6 since it can be bought for cheaper. Is this approved for USSSA? Yes, the Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6 does feature the USSSA 1.15 stamp. My son currently hits a 26" Easton 2 1/4 -11 and has good bat speed and control. He is starting a coach pitch league and can use the 2 3/4 bats. Friend has the 27" Junior CAT 6 and my son borrowed it. He had an obvious swing speed drop and lost his control. Should I get him a 26" or let him learn to get used to the 27"? He is 50" tall and weighs 53 lbs and is a contact hitter. What are the benefits to this bat verses the Easton S3? The correct size to get is really up to you. If he is having success with the smaller bat (26") then it would be wise to stick with this size with the younger player. If you are thinking about what to get for down the road then it would certainly be better to go with the 27" bat as he will surely outgrow a 26" bat between now and next spring. As for the comparisons between the Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6 and the Easton S3, both of these bats are one-piece fully alloy designs with balanced swing weights. Hard to say which bat is necessarily the better one to get; we would defer to customer reviews as well as any personal experience you have with either of these bats to make your selection. My son is transitioning into coach pitch and is 7. he will turn 8 during season and play on 8u team. He is more of a contact hitter and is 50" tall and about 53 lbs. He currently swings a 2 1/4 bat at 26" 15 oz. He gets around on it pretty good and has great control of the bat. He has tried his friends 27" CAT 6 and we saw a big difference in his swing speed and he had lost all the control he had. Do you recommend a 26" CAT 6 junior or go ahead and get the 27" and let him learn to swing it? I want to get him a 2 3/4 for the bigger barrel but don't want to kill his swing speed and control. If he was not comfortable with the 27" bat I would not recommend getting it. It sounds like he should go ahead and get the Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6 in the 26" version. My son is coming out of tee ball using a 25"/13 oz sized bat and is going into coach pitch. Is the CAT 6 (25"/15 oz) going to be too heavy for him? I would imagine that if your player has grown since last using the 25"/13 oz bat, he should be just fine using the 25"/15 oz model of this Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) for use in coach pitch. If you feel like he will be wanting to use the bat longer into the future, I would maybe even recommend going to the 26"/16 oz size. My 7 year old son plays machine pitch (35-40 mph). Can he use this bat? I'm considering purchasing the 27". The Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6 would not be advised for use in machine pitch leagues, as the bat is not built to handle speeds faster than coach pitch. What is the diameter of the bat? Is it 2 3/4" or 2 5/8"? This Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) will come with a 2 3/4" barrel diameter. My son is 7 years old and we need to upgrade his bat for 8U coach pitch. He's 5'3" and weighs 77 lbs. What size would you recommend? Based upon your son's height and weight, I would recommend using a 30" Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6. Son is 6 years old, 7 in a month. Little over 4' tall and around 53 lbs. Which weight/length would you recommend? For your son's height and weight we recommend a 28" length. For his age we recommend a -12 length to weight ratio which is 16 oz. What size bat should a 10 year old who is 4 feet 8 inches tall use? For their height we recommend using a 30" length bat. For their age we recommend a -10 length to weight ratio which is 20 oz. Which length bat would you recommend for a 48" 7 year old that weighs 48 pounds? Based upon your player's height and weight, I would recommend using a 27" Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6. Is there a pitch speed velocity limit on this bat? I would not recommend using this Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) at velocities over 40-45 mph. Is this bat better than the new 2016 Easton S3 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: JBB16S310B? Since this bat is $179 and the Easton is $99. Both of these are good quality bats. The Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6 features anti-vibration technology and a longer barrel. It also has optimized wall thickness that allows for faster swing speeds. These components reflect the difference in price. How will the swing weight compare to an Easton S3 2 3/4 jr big barrel? 27/17 The Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) will feature a balanced swing weight like the 2016 Easton S3 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB16S310B). My son is 7 and plays on a travel ball team (coach pitch). He needs a 27/17 bat. Should he get the CAT 6 jbb or the Hex Alloy sl 2 3/4"? Which is the better bat? Does one bat have more pop than the other? The Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) and the 2016 Marucci Hex Alloy Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBAHAX10) are both great bats to consider. The Marucci Cat 6 will feature thinner walls which will translate into more of a trampoline effect on the ball but the thinner walls make it more susceptible to denting as it cannot handle much velocity; which is why it's made for coach pitch. The 2016 Marucci Hex Alloy Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBAHAX10) will have thicker walls and less trampoline effect but can withstand velocity better and will be a bat that your son should be able to get more use out of moving forward. Is it approved for Dixie Youth Baseball? The 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: MJBBC6 features a 2 3/4" barrel diameter and is not legal for play in Dixie Youth Baseball. My 8 year old, 90 pound 50 inch tall player will be making the move to his first kid pitch this season (9u). Up to now he has been swinging an S1 26 inch 16 ounce in coach pitch. I wanted to try the Cat 6, but not sure if I go with a 26 or 27 inch for his first kid pitch season? If he is playing kid pitch, you will not want to use a Junior Big Barrel model like the 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6). Junior Big Barrel bats will dent if used to hit kid pitch style pitching. You would want to use a Youth model or a Senior League model. Based on height and weight, we would recommend a 29 inch 19 ounce size. What is a good bat for machine pitch? The speed is about 45 mph. The bat diameter is 2 5/8 inches maximum. For pitches of that speed, you will want to use a Senior League or "Youth Big Barrel" model rather than a Junior Big Barrel bat like this 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6). Here is a link to some models that would qualify: http://www.justbats.com/products/barrel%20diameter~2%205-8/baseball%20bats~youth%20big%20barrel/?sortBy=TotalSales%20Descending&size=24. What is the warranty on this bat? The 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) features a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty from Marucci. What bat is seeing more pop in younger players? The 27 inch 17 ounce Easton S1 or the 27 inch 17 ounce Cat 6? My kid has an S1, but I am hearing great things about the Cat 6. "Pop" is more of a term associated with the skill of the player rather than a quantifiable feature of the bat. Due to the safety restrictions imposed on the bats, most models will perform very similarly at their peak the difference would be in the feel of the bat and the durability. The 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) and the Easton S1 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB13S1) compare well in those aspects. The CAT 6 would be hot out of the wrapper while the S1 may require a bit of break-in to get going. Does this bat come hot right out of the box or does it need to be broken in? The 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) is an alloy barrel bat that would not need to be broken in. Only composite barrel bats will need to be broken in. Would you suggest this bat for a 9 to 10 year old kid pitch league? If not, my son is 9 years old, 56", and 60 lbs. What bat would you suggest? The barrel walls on the 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) might be a little too thin for 9 & 10 year old kid pitch which can lead to premature damage. If you are wanting to stay with the Cat 6 I would recommend the 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBC68). This bat will have thicker walls and will be able to withstand the pitching speeds better. My son is 7 (coach pitch) 50" tall and approximately 55-60 lbs. My question is, should I get the 27"17 oz. or just stay with the 26"16 oz. model? For a player of his size, our bat coach would actually recommend the 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) in a 27" 17 oz. model. Typically, most players are able to swing the drop 10 in that size fairly comfortably. My son is 8. He is 53" tall and weighs 70 lbs. He wants a CAT 6. He currently uses an Easton MAKO 27/15. He is a power hitter. I am trying to decide if this would be a good choice for him or not. Any tips are appreciated. The CAT6 models would be a great choice. The 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) is typically only used in Coach Pitch leagues. If he is in kid pitch I would check out this version: 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBC68). The one-piece fully alloy design will provide a stiff feel and great performance. I'm looking for a replacement for the CAT 5 (MJBB2) bat we had that is now discontinued. Is this the closest thing you've seen to that bat? What other bats would you recommend that are very similar? My son seemed to really hit the ball far with the CAT 5. This 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) would be the most comparable design to the CAT 5 Junior Big Barrel. For other -10 Junior models, I would check out the Easton S3 and Slugger Assault: http://goo.gl/67bfL9. How did this bat compare with the Marucci Cat 5 MJBB2 bat? Is it the same material? Built similar? Same pop as the Cat 5? My son had great success with it and now, I've got another one coming up through the younger ranks. The 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) will feel similar to the older CAT 5. The AZ3000 alloy material will be very similar between both bats. The new CAT 6 will eliminate more hand sting and vibration due to the anti-vibration technology. Is it evenly balanced or end loaded? The 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) will definitely be evenly balanced and have a light swing weight. What size CAT 6 would you recommend for a 6 year old that is 44" tall and weighs 45 pounds? Based on your player's height and weight, we would recommend the 26" model of the 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) - (http://www.justbats.com/bat-coach/). Is this senior league or coach pitch bat? The 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (MJBBC6) is designed mainly for coach pitch. Based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Marucci was founded by two former Big Leaguers and their athletic trainer who began handcrafting bats for some of the best players in the game from their garage. Fast forward to today, and that dedication to quality and understanding of players' needs has turned into an All-American success story. Marucci is the number one bat in the Big Leagues and makes wood and aluminum bats, batting gloves, protective gear, and other baseball and softball accessories.

Sciatica is not a disease, but simply a symptom indicating any type of pain caused by the compression of the longest nerve in the body called the sciatic nerve, which runs from the back of the pelvis all the way to the foot. The underlying causes of sciatica symptoms are numerous, including: - Lumbar herniated disc, occurring when the soft gel inside the disc is forced through a tear or crack into the thicker outer layer of the disc, irritating adjacent nervous tissue. - Degenerative disc disease, caused by the wear and tear of the disc, which dries out and loses its flexibility with age. - Piriformis syndrome, caused by the compression of the sciatic nerve by the flat muscle located in the buttocks called piriformis. - Sacroiliac joint dysfunction: Trauma to the foot, ankle, knee, or hip or a muscular imbalance from performing a certain type of sport or physical activity resulting in a rotated pelvis that stresses a sacroiliac joint and the sciatic nerve running nearby. - Other causes include lumbar spinal stenosis, isthmic spondylolisthesis, pregnancy, muscle strain, scar tissue, and infection. How Do Epidural Steroid Injections Work for Sciatica? For patients struggling with debilitating leg or low back pain for whom anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy, exercising, and other conservative therapies are not effective, one solution to address chronic leg pain and back pain involves delivering steroid medication directly to the irritated nerve roots. The minimally-invasive surgical procedure is meant to reduce the inflammation of the disc herniation, thus relieving the irritation of the nervous tissue and the accompanying pain, numbness, and weakness along the nerve’s route. The steroid medication, along with an anesthetic and a saline solution meant to flush out the inflammatory proteins in the affected area, is injected directly into the epidural space (the area between the inner surface of the bony spinal column and the exterior of the spinal column called the dura). There is, however, a growing body of evidence pointing to the limited benefits of epidural corticosteroids for sciatica pain, raising questions about the actual value of the treatment. The results of 23 randomized placebo-controlled trials showed that epidural injections with corticosteroids provide only limited relief from pain compared to placebo, and with little or no significant results over the long term. The study findings were confirmed by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), which stated that, “Epidural steroid injections play a limited role in providing short-term pain relief for lower back pain that radiates down a leg and do not provide long-term pain relief.” According to them, the results of corticosteroids last for only 6 weeks and may not be cost-effective for patients with debilitating sciatica symptoms. Why Is Chiropractic Better for Sciatica? Unlike epidural steroid injections that provide short-term relief from the symptoms, chiropractic treatment tackles the underlying cause of the nerve irritation in order to restore the body’s correct skeletal motion and performance. Depending on the cause of the patient’s sciatica and medical history, a licensed chiropractor will design a treatment plan that can include: - Chiropractic adjustment/manipulation – The core of chiropractic care, spinal manipulation aims to restore the correct spinal movement by realigning the vertebrae to their correct position within the spinal column. For sciatica patients, this approach will relieve the pressure applied on the sciatic nerve, thereby reducing inflammation, swelling, pain, spasms, and other discomfort linked to sciatic nerve compression. - Heat/cold therapy – Alternating ice and heat sources can provide positive results in reducing sciatica pain. Applying an ice pack reduces swelling, while heat relaxes tight muscles around the nervous tissue and in the structures pressing on the sciatic nerve. The treatment is also readily available, inexpensive, and effective. - Massage therapy – A licensed massage therapist will apply various techniques to structures compressing the sciatic nerve, enabling the muscles to release their hold on the nerve and reduce the spasms. It often starts with a bit of tingling and occasional numbness, but the compression of the sciatic nerve can evolve into constant, debilitating pain that makes it difficult for sufferers to stand up and even walk. Simple treatments such as ice/heat therapy or spinal manipulation performed by your local chiropractic office can provide relief from pain from even the first session, so ensure you seek specialized help before turning to invasive procedures for your sciatica pain.

Sonny Skinner, a former PGA Tour player and a veteran Georgia PGA member, was inducted into the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame recently, with the ceremony held at Atlanta Athletic Club. Skinner joins recent Georgia PGA inductees James Mason, Ray Cutright, Stephen Keppler, Lowell Fritz and Richard Crawford, who have joined the GGHOF since 2012. The 57-year-old Skinner was born in Virginia, but grew up in the southwest Georgia town of Sylvester and still resides there. He played golf and football at Worth County High School and attended both Shorter College and Abraham Baldwin before turning pro. Skinner began his golf career as an assistant professional at Valdosta Country Club in 1982, and was the head pro at Pine Knoll GC in Sylvester from 1984-89. From 1990 to 2004 Skinner was a full-time tour pro, beginning his career on the PGA Tour in 1990. He spent four years on the tour in the 1990s, tying the course record in the Buick Open in 1997 with an opening round 62 at Warwick Hills outside Detrot. Most of Skinner’s tour career was spent on what is now the Web.com Tour. He played the tour for 10 years between 1991 and 2004, and continued to make occasional starts before turning 50 in 2010. Skinner won tournaments in Shreveport in 1993 and Richmond in 1994, with his ’93 victory coming after he played his way into the field in a Monday qualifier. Skinner placed among the top 30 on the money list three times, finishing as high as 11th in ’94. Since turning 50, Skinner has made 30 starts on the Champions Tour, most of them via pre-tournament qualifiers. Skinner began playing Georgia PGA events full time in 2006, and has been one of the top players in the Section since then, while also making an impact at the national club professional level. He has twice earned Georgia PGA Player of the Year honors (2006 and 2014), and has placed fourth or higher six other times in the points standings. Among his tournament victories are two each in the Georgia PGA Championship (2009 and 2012) and Atlanta Open (2015 and ’16), winning the latter event in consecutive years in his mid-50s. He also won the Match Play Championship in 2006 and was runner-up a decade later. Skinner narrowly missed the Georgia PGA’s career Grand Slam, finishing one shot out of a playoff in the 2006 Georgia Open. Since turning 50, Skinner has won numerous Georgia PGA tournaments at the senior level, including the Georgia Senior Open in 2012 and the Georgia PGA Senior Championship three times since 2010. At the national level, Skinner has twice finished as runner-up in the PGA Professional National Championship, the top event for the country’s club professionals. He placed second at Reynolds Plantation on Lake Oconee in 1998, just one shot behind the winner, and again was second two years later in Indiana. Since becoming a club professional in 2006, Skinner has been an almost annual qualifier for both the national club professional and senior club professional championships, and has placed high enough in both events to be a frequent participant in both the PGA Championship and Senior PGA Championship. He finished as low club pro in the 2011 Senior PGA. Skinner became the first PGA member to win honors as both national Player of the Year (2008) and national Senior Player of the Year, claiming the latter award three straight times from 2010 to 2012. His Player of the Year award in 2008 was aided by a top-20 finish in a Nationwide (now Web.com) Tour event at Jennings Mill outside Athens after making it into the event via a Georgia PGA qualifier. Since returning to the club professional ranks, Skinner has worked as a head pro and instructor at River Pointe in Albany and Spring Hill in Tifton, as well as serving as a sales representative for several golf-related companies. He is currently an instructor at Spring Hill. Skinner was inducted into the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame along with three other honorees. Also inducted were career amateur golfers Wright Waddell and Martha Stacy Leach, along with Stephen Hamblen, the long time Executive Director of the American Junior Golf Association, which is based in metro Atlanta.

I remember my father saying to mum something along the lines of ‘he will be safe and with me’. Mum agreed I could go. He was right, at least in terms of that night. Not so much in the years that followed. It was 1969, I was 12 years and some months old, and we were heading to St Theresa’s Primary School where I was now a past pupil. When we arrived the school was not as I had left it. Every classroom was filled with families seeking refuge, families who had just been burned out of their homes, families to whom I spent the next few hours delivering hastily gathered food, blankets and such like. I didn’t really know what was happening but I knew it was very serious. I was returned home by my father in the early hours, safe as he had promised I would be. Although I didn’t realise it at the time my childhood and the childhoods of many others ended that night. Three years later my aunt lost her life, two years after that my father, and in another two years my cousin as well as two close friends lost their lives. By the time of the Good Friday Agreement I had lost 40/50 friends neighbours and acquaintances. Many of my friends and neighbours had spent most of their lives in jail while literally thousands of people unknown to me personally were losing their lives, being injured, and seeing those left behind, or caring for injured (including the severely traumatised), having their lives changed forever. I personally witnessed the immediate aftermath of many horrific events and like most males in my age group (teens upwards) in my area at that time I was frequently invited to Fort Monagh and other places for a good beating. These are facts. It is because these are facts that I understand suffering and grief are exactly the same for every human being who suffered in these circumstances. The personal friends I lost came from every part of this society and I knew them all as nice people. ALL those left behind, ALL those still suffering physically and/or mentally should receive the greatest degree of resolution it is possible to deliver, and they should receive it as soon as possible. Legacy is not the ‘elephant in the room’, legacy is very much recognised, its’ complex character analysed, and the measures required to address these complex needs pretty much identified. The difficulty is very much that victims have been weaponised, legacy has become the battleground. This should be stopped immediately and the complexities addressed rather than deepened. It’s almost exactly one year to the day since I last made a submission to this website. I still hold by every word I expressed at that time. Unfortunately little has changed during the past 12 months in the public arena. That said, it is my opinion that we are now potentially on the cusp of starting to address the complexities of legacy in a real and meaningful way through the establishment of the structures designed in the Stormont House Agreement. To realise these structures it is essential that as many people as have an opinion (not just victims) respond to the legacy consultation recently published by the Westminster Government. My own response will reflect this:- ➢ There should be no prejudgment of outcomes because everyone who suffered was/is a human being and should be treated as such. The greatest resolution possible cannot be delivered unless we deliver to all. ➢ No door should be closed. ➢ It should be absolutely guaranteed that cross-contamination between the HIU and the ICIR will not be permitted to happen under any circumstances. ➢ No special status or amnesty should be given to any participant, legal or illegal – no statute of limitations in any form or in any other guise. ➢ My preferred option is to engage with the ICIR, not only because I think it is unlikely the HIU will deliver many prosecutions but also because I think this has the potential to hold the greatest number to account for their actions. All of those involved on a corporate basis, not just the soldier or volunteer who engaged in the action. ➢ Legacy inquests should be funded and a pension paid to the severely injured immediately and without exception. ➢ As well as the option of victims approaching the ICIR a community based system should be devised to enable properly trained and appointed persons to actively approach families and let them know they have not been forgotten by inviting them to participate and support them to do so. Not everyone has the ability or strength to go alone. In as far as possible no-one should be left behind. ➢ The proposed Mental Health Trauma Service should be funded and established in advance of SHA structure implementation to ensure the wellbeing of those impacted throughout the processes. ➢ Structures should be entirely free from political interference or influence although politicians should absolutely be held to account for their speeches and actions. Because politicians left the killing and dying largely to others does not mean they are devoid of any responsibility. Finally I would say this to those who shout the loudest and hurl ‘dogs in the street’ type accusations – you have not achieved a high degree of progress. Because of the universally good reception to my article on this website last year I am of the opinion that a quiet approach, using language which positively challenges, has the potential to achieve results. This consultation gives everyone the opportunity to make that measured positive contribution.

Inspiration can come for anywhere, mine personally was layers. I took one simple thing and added more simple items around it. For example, one project started with just a simple feather. Added to it were some small green vines and followed that were other natural things that were at hand. The layers give things a better personality and just as we as people have layers, so does our art. The tools that I used were only my hands, never did I use any scissors or anything. The materials that were used in this art project were a feather, leaves, plants, flowers, rocks and woodchips. To make sure the objects were set in the correct spot without messing up the rest of the project you had to use a careful hand. Being slow and steady was the only technique that I used. Art is my escape from the regular dull, bland world. You can make something beautiful and share it with the ones who need it most. It’s not a piece that you’ll forget about, this is something that you can remember for the rest of your life. It’s something that you can always remember and gives you a chance to forget about all the stress in your life, if only for a brief moment. The art can change people’s perspective on life, and gives them a chance to change things.

Soccer: Llorente perfect competitor for Kane, says Tottenham's Pochettino (Reuters) - Finding a striker to compete with the prolific Harry Kane is a tough ask but Fernando Llorente fits the bill perfectly, Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has said. Spaniard Llorente joined the London side from Swansea City in the close season but is yet to score in nine appearances for the club in all competitions this season. The 32-year-old's form is in complete contrast to Kane, who has bagged eight goals from nine Premier League games with five more in the Champions League but Pochettino was keen to stress the importance of an experienced back-up like Llorente. "It is important to analyse one thing: when you look at Harry Kane's form in the last few years, it is not easy to find a player who can compete with him," Pochettino said. "In this market, it is difficult to find a player who wants to come and do that as everyone recognises he is one of the best strikers in the world. "For a club like us it is not easy to find the right player under these circumstances. That is why Llorente is perfect. He fits very well in our project." Llorente is Pochettino's oldest outfield signing and the Argentine said Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy had not set an age limit on his recruits despite the club's preference for youth. "From the beginning here, Daniel Levy has never said to me 'we cannot sign players who are over 25'. I promise you he has never said that. All we do is try to find a profile that will fit what we need for the club." Tottenham will look to bounce back from Wednesday's 3-2 League Cup loss to West Ham United when they visit second-placed Manchester United in the league on Saturday.

When it comes to goading a user into action, your best ally is the website itself. It knows which of the attributes are the most seductive, what colours, which copy, which architecture, etc. We only need to listen to our website to obtain all this information. The problem is that we are pretty deaf. How can you get your website to talk to you? There is no better way of getting it to talk than by taking measurements. Right from the very first time we analyse it, the website can tell us a huge amount: so much so that, for most people, it?s as if it said nothing at all. This is where hearing problems start. Don?t shout at me; I can?t see you To overcome hearing difficulties, the best way is not to get your website to tell you more, but to choose the question carefully. Focusing the problem will help us understand the answer better. We must turn to the scientific method, trial and error, measuring the new option against the current one. After that, the website will start to speak loud and clear. He who seeks? will find The website is a gossip by nature; it?s dying to tell us things. Unfortunately we do not understand it, and do not want to, either. Any website is full of tools which provide valuable information. One example is the internal search engine. These days, there isn?t a single website worth visiting that does not have an internal search engine. It?s major purpose: making the surfer?s job easier? Is that all? Yes, for most people. The best ones perform statistical analyses to check that the tool is working correctly, but the internal search engine is most valuable when it is giving us clues as to what users are looking for on our web page. Analysing the content entered on the search engines can be the key to determining what the most valued features of a product are and this can help us design new prototypes which are guaranteed to succeed. Unfortunately, most people do not know how to conduct this kind of research. In short, are you deaf? Well, use the measurement ?whisper?.

Center the kitchen sink stainless steel into position under the granite, Heard that stainless steel is chrome, is that so? Yes, but about lead, the precipitation of chromium is relatively difficult. And a lot of chromium is too good because the weld is not okay. So the quality of 304 stainless steel faucet is indeed more environmentally friendly for the copper faucet! Also, there are North American CUPC lead-free copper, Australia's DR copper, the British and other 4MS copper, H62 copper (copper is relatively soft, for the processing of curved bends and other large parts) and so on.

David Wetzel, the president of the Texas High School Football Coaches Association, is joining Matt Rhule’s new staff at Baylor. Wetzel had been the coach at San Antonio’s Reagan High School since 2004. Before San Antonio, Wetzel also was the head coach at Hyde Park High School in Austin and Killeen Ellison. He’s a natural fit for Baylor since he was a wide receiver for the Bears when Grant Teaff was the team’s head coach. It’s unclear what sort of role Wetzel will have at Baylor. Rhule interviewed him Wednesday, the same day Rhule was introduced as the new head coach. Wetzel probably will work most with recruiting, helping Rhule establish contacts with high school coaches across the state. Rhule had no ties to the state before he took the job. Teaff told the Waco Tribune Herald: “He’s a perfect fit for Baylor as a graduate and highly respected high school football coach. You don’t get to be president of the Texas High School Football Coaches Association without being highly qualified. He loves Baylor and always has, and he’s very excited about the opportunity to work with Matt and help restore the things that have been lost in the last few months.” At Reagan, Wetzel coached Trevor Knight, who started at quarterback for Oklahoma before transferring to Texas A&M. He also coached Kellen Mond, a four-star quarterback who was an original commitment to Baylor before pledging to the Aggies.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) -- Democrat Barack Obama dismissed his rivals' calls for national gas tax holiday as a political ploy that won't help struggling consumers. Hillary Rodham Clinton said his stance shows he's out of touch with the economic realities faced by ordinary citizens. Clinton and certain Republican presidential nominee John McCain are calling for a holiday on collecting the federal gas tax "to get them through an election," Obama said at a campaign rally before more than 2,000 cheering backers a week before crucial primaries in Indiana and North Carolina. "The easiest thing in the world for a politician to do is tell you exactly what you want to hear." Clinton, who toured the Miller Veneers wood manufacturing company in Indianapolis, said "there are a lot of people in Indiana who would really benefit from a gas tax holiday. "That might not mean much to my opponent, but I think it means a lot to people who are struggling here, people who commute a long way to work, farmers and truckers," Clinton said. She has called for a windfall tax on oil companies to pay for a gas tax holiday. "Senator Obama won't provide relief, while Senator McCain won't pay for it," Clinton said. "I'm the only candidate who will provide immediate relief at the pump, with a plan." With his comments, Obama continued a running dispute over whether ending collection of the gas tax is the quickest and best way to help consumers. Leading in delegates and the popular vote, Obama in recent days has focused on McCain, but he broadened that criticism Tuesday to include Democrat Clinton. "Now the two Washington candidates in the race have decided to do something different," said Obama. "John McCain started it, he made the proposal, and then Hillary Clinton said 'me too.'" The plan would suspend collecting the 18.4 cent federal gas tax 24.4 cent diesel tax for the summer. He said drying up gas tax collections would batter highway construction, costing North Carolina up to 7,000 jobs, while saving consumers little. "We're arguing over a gimmick that would save you half a tank of gas over the course of the entire summer so that everyone in Washington can pat themselves on the back and say they did something," said Obama. "Well, let me tell you, this isn't an idea designed to get you through the summer, it's designed to get them through an election," said Obama. He said his call for middle-class tax cuts would be far more beneficial than suspending gas tax collections. Obama took a different view on the issue when he was an Illinois legislator, voting at least three times in favor of temporarily lifting the state's 5 percent sales tax on gasoline. The tax holiday was finally approved during a special session in June of 2000, when Illinois motorists were furious that gas prices had just topped $2 a gallon in Chicago. During one debate, he joked that he wanted signs on gas pumps in his district to say, "Senator Obama reduced your gasoline prices." But the impact of the tax holiday was never clear. A government study could not determine how much of the savings was passed on to motorists. Many lawmakers said their constituents didn't seem to have benefited. They also worried the tax break was pushing the state budget out of balance. When legislation was introduced to eliminate the tax permanently, Obama voted "no." The effort failed, and the sales tax was allowed to take effect again. Responding to Obama's criticism, McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds said the Illinois senator "does not understand the effect of gas prices on the economy. Senator Obama voted for a gas tax reduction before he opposed it." Bounds was deliberately echoing one of Democrat John Kerry's most troublesome missteps of the 2004 presidential campaign. Kerry said of funding for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it." Obama returned to the gas tax theme later in the day during a rally in Hickory, N.C., conceding "the crisis families are facing is real" but suspending the gas tax wasn't the answer. He acknowledged voting for a similar measure in the Illinois Legislature, but said he opposed efforts to extend it because "it wasn't making any difference in people's lives. It wasn't helping." Obama and Clinton both opened their campaign day in North Carolina. Clinton toured a research facility and collected the prized endorsement of Gov. Mike Easley. "It's time for somebody to be in the White House who understands the challenges we face in this country," said Easley, in announcing his backing of Clinton. She then promptly headed for a string of events in Indiana. "The governor and I have something in common - we think results matter," said Clinton. Easley is popular with white, working-class voters that have formed the base for Clinton's success in recent primaries. Clinton also collected an endorsement from Democratic Rep. Ike Skelton of Missouri, who praised "her support in rural America, her commitment to national security and her dedication to our men and women in uniform." Skelton, a conservative Democrat who chairs the House Armed Services Committee, was among a half-dozen Democratic House members called to meet with Clinton after she won the Pennsylvania primary last week. While Obama is favored in North Carolina, the race in Indiana is very tight, and Obama was heading there Wednesday. Obama collected endorsements of his own during the day: In Kentucky, Rep. Ben Chandler, son of former Gov. A.B. "Happy" Chandler, gave Obama his backing ahead of that state's May 20 primary, and in Iowa, Democratic National Committee member Richard Machacek - a supporter of former Sen. John Edwards before he dropped out of the presidential race - switched his support to Obama. Interest in the two primaries next week has been high. Officials in Indiana said nearly 90,000 people have cast early ballots, far outpacing absentee turnout in 2004. At stake Tuesday are 115 delegates in North Carolina, and 72 in Indiana.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin has asked a federal judge to throw out his indictment on bribery charges, saying the case has been tainted by prosecutorial misconduct. The alleged misconduct includes anonymous posts by former prosecutor Sal Perricone, who was a top deputy to former U.S. Attorney Jim Letten. Perricone resigned after acknowledging his online comments. Nagin was the subject of some of Perricone's posts. Nagin's attorney asked a judge for a copy of a sealed Justice Department report on anonymous comments by at least three federal prosecutors. But U.S. District Judge Helen Berrigan rejected the request Wednesday. Nagin's lawyer believes that sealed report will bolster arguments of prosecutorial misconduct.

Twenty-seven horses remain in the Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase on Friday 16th March, all chasing National Hunt’s Holy Grail. First prize of £355,938 will go the way of the winner, but this race is about so much more. The Gold Cup is THE race the vast majority of owners, trainers and jockeys want to win. Run over 3m 2 ½f on Cheltenham’s New Course, like most Championship races, this is a test of class, stamina, speed and heart. This year’s field will bid to join true great racing names like Kauto Star, Denman, Imperial Commander, Long Run and Don Cossack, five stars to taste victory in the last ten years. As the Festival moves ever closer, we assess this year’s field from an ante-post perspective. Cheltenham Gold Cup ante-post preview Quite rightly, last year’s outstanding RSA winner, Might Bite (4/1) is current ante-post favourite and it’s hard to see that changing unless we get soft ground. Might Bite’s victory at the 2017 Cheltenham Festival can only be described as brilliantly insane. Having lead his field for most of the contest, he was 15 lengths clear coming to the second last. He looked brilliant. Having jumped the remaining two fences, the son of Scorpion then veered sharply to his right, put the brakes on and started to idle badly. Moments later he was a half-length down on Whisper, but somehow managed to rally and claw back victory. Insane. To do as such, meant there was a fair bit of petrol left in the tank. It was an amazing performance. From here, Aintree was next, where a more straight-forward win saw him beat Whisper readily. This season Nicky Henderson’s horse has only run twice, winning a Listed Intermediate Chase at Sandown with ease from Frodon before going on to win the King George VI Chase at Kempton. The form of the King George is a little tough to weigh up, and differing opinions can easily be made and well respected. My gut feeling immediately after the race, with Bristol De Mai, Fox Norton and Whisper running well below par, was it was form to be weary of. That may well still be the case going forward as the race has yet to be truly tested. In the end, I had Might Bite running to around 165 in victory – a very good number, especially, if like me, you believe he idled badly up the straight and wasn’t in peak condition. Come March, on hopefully even quicker ground, there is no reason to say he can’t improve on that figure. He jumps fine, travels strongly and is as classy a horse in the field. Depending on which bookmaker you bet with, there isn’t much between last year’s Gold Cup hero Sizing John (6/1), and year’s third, Native River. One of the great ironies of last year’s Festival was Sizing John stepping out of the shadow of Douvan. The former is now a Gold Cup winner while the latter is yet to taste victory in a Championship Cheltenham race, on top of his Supreme Novices’ Hurdle and Arkle successes. Seven times Douvan and Sizing John had clashed over the years and seven times Douvan had Alan Potts’s number. But while Douvan fluffed his lines through injury on Wednesday in the Queen Mother Champion Chase, Sizing John immediately came out of his old foe’s shadow in winning the Holy Grail. It was now Sizing John 8 -vs-7 Douvan. His smooth and ready success over Minella Rocco, Native River and Djakadam was done in the style of a Gold Cup winner throwing back to the Kauto Star days. It was just pure class that won him the race. Travelling strongly, jumping economically and quickening were the hallmarks of his near 3 lengths victory. He showed he could battle when going on to win at Punchestown five weeks later before being put away for the current campaign. This season started in tremendous fashion with the son of Midnight Legend beating Djakadam by 7 lengths in the Grade 1 John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase. Eighteen days later he would flop badly at Christmas however, trailing in 32 lengths behind Road To Respect in the Grade 1 Leopardstown Christmas Chase. It was an awful run, there is no getting away from that, but I’d be confident it was due to his John Durkan effort coming too soon in a top-level race. That Punchestown race had clearly taken plenty out of him. Not too long after the Christmas disappointment, Jessica Harrington said her stable star would go straight to the Gold Cup after being freshened up. Given how lacklustre he was over the Festive period, this approach could well pay dividends and be a priceless piece of management. A similar fresh campaign has been given to Native River (13/2) this season. While Sizing John has run twice, this eight-year-old has only had the one start. Colin Tizzard’s relentless galloper had a massive 2016/17 campaign, winning three races including the Hennessy and the Welsh Grand National. He was unlucky not finish second in the Gold Cup last year, just being chinned late having made much of the running at a decent pace. He was no match for Sizing John in the 2018 renewal, but there is every chance he can get closer and maybe even reverse the form. The son of Indian River took a big step to achieving that when winning the Grade 2 Denman Chase for the second successive season on his seasonal debut. OK, he beat a non-stayer in Cloudy Dream and a nowhere near fit Saphir Du Rhea back in third, but it was done by 12 and 24 lengths, respectively. More importantly, it was good to see him travel well, jump nicely, move as fluently as ever, and find off the bridle – the further he went, the better he looked, although that’s understandable in beating a non-stayer. With age on his side, coming in fresh and looking as good as ever, he must be respected. With course and Festival form, Road To Respect (10/1) will surely be on most people’s shortlists? While he has yet to prove as classy as fellow Irish peer Sizing John, the fact the son of Gamut comes here at the top of his game shouldn’t be underestimated. After last season’s brilliant 6 lengths victory in Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate Handicap Chase, Noel Meade’s stable star has only tasted defeat once, when he was a gallant second to Outlander in the JNwine.com Champion Chase a Down Royal. In the interim, he has defeated such names as Yorkhill (where he was clearly a fortunate winner), Sub Lieutenant, Minella Rocco, Zabana and also revenged his defeat over Outlander, when winning the Grade 1 Leopardstown Christmas Chase. Returning to a left-handed track and getting on some nicer ground saw him produce a career best at Christmas when beating my Ryanair fancy Balko Des Flos and Leopardstown lover Outlander, wearing a first-time hood. The Gigginstown House Stud-owned gelding has had a modern-day Gold Cup preparation which will see him come to Cheltenham fresh. His record suggests that’s no negative so this seven-year-old, from the immediate family of a Gold Cup third in Road To Riches, looks to hold extremely solid claims. Finally, of those horses to the fore in the betting, Our Duke (9/1) is the last to get a significant mention. He’s another from the Jessica Harrington stable, and another eight-year-old – like Sizing John. Amazingly, well, for me anyway. He was a Grade 1-winning novice chaser last season, his victory in the Neville Hotels Novice Chase looking decent form now. So too is his second to the classy but fragile Disko in the Grade 1 Flogas Novice Chase over an inadequate trip, but the highlight was obviously his 14 lengths destruction job of the 2017 Irish Grand National field. That was a huge display, so good, he would finish the campaign officially rated a pound less than his stablemate and Gold Cup winner, Sizing John, as a novice. Some feat! This campaign started in disaster however, when he was well-beaten behind Outlander and Road To Respect at Down Royal; a poor post-race scope and therefore illness to blame. Surgery on his back would follow before he made a highly-encouraging and belated return to the fray in the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown, where a bad peck two out cost him dearly. At the time, it looked like he was getting slightly outpaced, but whatever your opinion on that, he certainly shaped better than the 16 lengths beaten. That step in the right direction was the catalyst for Grade 2 success over Presenting Percy in the Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park next time out. This came on his favoured soft ground (officially heavy), and giving the current RSA favourite 7lb and a beating is no mean feat on paper. It at least sees him firmly back on the right path. The horse most prominent in the betting I want to be against at this time is Killultagh Vic (10/1). First and foremost, that looks an extremely skinny price, for several reasons. One, his form doesn’t look good enough. Two, he’s a horse who has had serious injury problems in the past. Three, I’m not sure he jumps well enough, and four, I’d be worried about him staying. Definitly Red (16/1) will have no issue with the trip, but on decent ground, the race may well be over by the time he crosses the line. So much of his form has come on proper soft ground, I worry will he be taken out of his comfort zone on a faster surface? He also looks short on class in a competitive Gold Cup. This year’s Blue Riband looks a stronger race than the 2017 running, meaning Minella Rocco (20/1) may struggle to repeat last year’s second. Having been held-up in the race, he possibly ran on past beaten horses and was ultimately flattered. The fact he struggles for consistency is another concern. I’ve never really warmed to him despite knowing, on his day, he’s a class individual. The Willie Mullins pair of Djakadam (33/1) and Total Recall (16/1) are avoidable too at this juncture. The former is a top-class horse on his day, despite lacking the desired victories on his CV. The plus point is he appears to save his best efforts for this very race, but he comes into this year’s renewal on the back of a desperate run – by his standards – in the Irish Gold Cup, where he looked 20lb below his best. Maybe this was down to the lacklustre gallop in which he set.? Mullins’s Ladbrokes Trophy winner Total Recall has been in great order this season, winning all three races, but I think he needs to improve another stone to win here, and I just don’t feel he has that in the locker. He’s a horse who can be keen and he won’t get away with that in this company. Similar comments apply to yet another Closutton inmate in Bachasson (50/1), but he’s a horse who potentially has the scope to improve, although a stone is maybe asking a bit much. He has looked a different horse this season – his two wins at Thurles and Tramore coming in great style. While the case, this would be a significant step up in class over an unknown trip. He’s worth bearing in mind later in the season and even next year, however; he’s a horse on the right path. So too is the miracle horse, Edwulf (25/1), who looks drastically overpriced compared to Killultagh Vic. His victory in the Irish Gold Cup at nicely backed 33/1 will no doubt be among the highlights of this season given his miraculous near-death recovery at last season’s Festival, but I’m just not sure he’s good enough, yet. He may improve again for better ground, but this contest could come as a shock to the system compared to the slowly-run Grade 1 he won last time out. The one horse that looks overpriced with top-class recent form in the bag and appears to be on an upward curve is Double Shuffle (40/1). His close-up presence behind Might Bite in the King George originally saw me question the form, but having gone over it all again, I don’t think there was any fluke about the effort, and the form will (hopefully) stand up. OK, he must go and run to a similar level once more to solidify proof of that statement, and there is a chance Kempton is his ideal track, but given he’s an eight-year-old with a classy enough pedigree with few miles on the clock and is still relatively unexposed over three miles plus, there is potential for this scenario to play out. There is even an argument that his King George effort could be marked up given how wide he was for the near entire duration of the race. There is also a chance he is flattered to get as close to Might Bite, but the price discrepancy is too big given 1 length separated them at the line. Finally, speaking of wide trips in top-class races, Saphir Du Rheu (100/1) got a pretty average ride in last term’s Gold Cup when only beaten 6 lengths by Sizing John, and just three behind the likes of Minella Rocco, Native River and Djakadam. He was also closer to the good gallop than most. On this run alone, he looks criminally overpriced. Paul Nicholls’s inmate has a reputation of being a nearly horse – and that’s fair enough – after his trainer built him up to be his stable star many seasons ago. Success didn’t come early, but to be fair to the grey 2016/17 saw him put down some solid foundations for further progress. He’s only a nine-year-old and he comes into the Festival on the back of a well-beaten effort behind Native River in the Denman Chase, but he shaped far, far, far better than the distance beaten on his first run back from injury. The Final Verdict A superbly competitive Gold Cup to look forward to this year, should all the main protagonists make March 16th. So many horses are coming into the race fresh which potentially reinforces competition. A fresh field of horses has the potential to see many run their races. This is especially the case of those to the fore in the betting. Might Bite, Native River, Sizing John and Road To Respect, granted decent conditions, will have few excuses on the big day. In any race, the ground will prove vital, and this Gold Cup is no different. Should we encounter a similar surface to last term’s renewal, I’d be against Our Duke. I have no doubt he’s a classy horse, but I just have a small suspicion slowish sod gets the very best out of him and he could prove vulnerable on good going at this level. His tough prep on heavy ground also makes him stand out negatively from the aforementioned fresh crowd. At the same time, while against him on a quick surface, a soft ground running would make him and Native River the ones to beat, on form. Working on the basis of decent going, I’m not sure any of those to the fore in the market will shorten appreciatively. On ground similar to last year, I’d be surprised if one of Might Bite, Native River, Sizing John or Road To Respect don’t win. Hardly a bold statement! We already know Sizing John has the “X-Factor” to win a Gold Cup, and for me, there’s only one other horse in this field with that, and that’s Might Bite. If we get good ground, he’ll go very close, but that’s a sizeable ‘if’ given we are over two weeks away, especially when you consider the current Beast from the East passing through the UK. That rhetoric also means I don’t see any particular value in playing Native River, Sizing John and Road To Respect. Native River and Sizing John have proved their worth in a Gold Cup, and also proved their stamina. If there is one variable Road To Respect could just fall short on, it’s staying. The better the ground, the better his chance – that old throwaway line applies to him. So, at this stage, DOUBLE SHUFFLE and SAPHIR DU RHEU look the value bets. The former will need decent ground to see out the trip, but given he’s shown a similar level of ability to Road To Respect, I’d much rather chance him at four times the price, given both have identical potential stamina issues. Oddly enough, both also wear hoods while racing. Saphir Du Rheu will be at home on most going, but he’ll need a much cannier ride to improve on last season’s gallant fifth. Hopefully the Nicholls team go out and ride him like he can win, and just creep their way round down the inner. Both are bold shouts, I appreciate that, but my line of thinking is this; I can back maybe two horses to the front of the betting at fairish prices to win OR I can take a bolder each-way value approach on horses with top-class efforts in the hope of one hitting the frame and getting a similar return. We’ll see how it all plays out. Good luck! 1pt each-way Double Shuffle @40/1 (bet365, Coral, Sky Bet, Unibet – all NRNB) 1pt each-way Saphir Du Rheu @100/1 (Bet Victor), 80/1 (Coral, William Hill – both NRNB)

Regular Dental Visits Are Important Regular dental visits are recommended to prevent oral health problems. But more than one-third of American adults don’t visit their dentist every year. Regular dental checkups and cleanings can help you avoid tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Even if you may not have any symptoms of gum disease, dental exams are just as important for adults as children. Seniors, as well as children, are particularly vulnerable to tooth decay. Untreated, cavities and gum disease can lead to tooth loss. Visiting a dentist regularly can help prevent oral disease and catch problems early, when they are easier to treat. See your dentist right away if: Gums bleed often or pull away from your teeth Teeth are loose or separating You see red or white patches on gums, tongue, or mouth floor Mouth or jaw pain persists Mouth sores don’t heal in two weeks You have problems swallowing or chewing “What is Tooth Decay?” Know Your Teeth, Academy of General Dentistry. http://www.knowyourteeth.com/infobites/abc/article/?abc=C&iid=295&aid=1156/.

Earlier this year, global research and advisory firm Universum looked at the employers who are most attractive to business students in the U.S. In a report released this week, they've widened their lens to provide a global outlook on which opportunities are most appealing to business students the world over. To determine which employers are providing business students the most coveted opportunities, Universum asked nearly 240,000 students from the world's 12 largest economies (the U.S., Canada, Brazil, the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Japan, China, India, and Australia) to identify the employers for which they most wanted to work. Results were also weighted by GDP. It's no surprise that In fact, these two categories were the most represented among this year's most attractive employers, with fast moving consumer goods moving into third place. "They've globalized their professions and their recruiting efforts in a way that other companies and other industries haven’t been able to keep up with," said Melissa Bailey, president of Universum Americas. Automobiles and parts gained in popularity among business students over the past five years, as did engineering and manufacturing employers. Consumer electronics and household appliances, and technology hardware and equipment, on the other hand, have lost ground, while energy, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, and retail have remained steady. Bailey said that professional services employers, in particular, have gained traction with millennial candidates by emphasizing the importance of human capital and providing strong training opportunities. "Professional services for example, they put a stake in the ground and say, 'The people are our most important asset.' As you look at banks and some other industries, they're leading in valuing their people and giving their people freedom to innovate, allowing them to really come to the top as a destination for top people." Ultimately, said Bailey, the companies moving ahead in these rankings and seeing successful results are those empowering their employees to continue gaining new skills and adapting to a rapidly changing business landscape. "We see the importance of an organization to be able to learn faster than the pace of change. In the world we’re seeing lots of changes happening far more quickly than in the past. The companies getting ahead on the employer side--the people in their organizations are able to learn faster than the rate of change."

BBC World, the round-the-clock international TV news channel, has named Alan MacDonald to regional director for South Asia and the Middle East. Retaining his old position as head of business development, MacDonald's brief is to scout for new business from these regions, whose reliance on the BBC for news goes back to days under British colonial rule. "These changes by our management are aimed at enhancing BBC World's position as the international news and information channel," MacDonald says. "India plays a critical role in BBC World's plans for South Asia. This is the only region in the world where BBC World has a local office to oversee its operations." Despite intense competition from Time Warner's CNN International, BBC World claims to reach 10 million cabled homes in India. To attract local audiences, the free-to-air service is increasing news coverage from India in the run-up to the country's golden jubilee celebrations of independence from Britain. The BBC's renewed focus on Asia extends to Taiwan, where it will soon relaunch in a half million cabled homes after a two-year absence. In Indonesia, BBC World is available via direct-to-home and cable. It has notched up 50,000 homes in Singapore and 350,000 homes in the Philippines. Earlier this year it debuted in Latin America and hopes to garner a million homes' reach by year's end. Continental Europe accounts for 30 million homes. Overall, it claims to penetrate 50 million homes worldwide. On other fronts, BBC Worldwide Sales and Marketing Director in London Jeff Hazell will be given additional responsibilities as regional director for the Americas. Jonathan Howlett will be regional director for Africa, while remaining head of airtime sales. "These management appointments, together with the key programming input from BBC News, underline our commitment to establishing BBC World as the leading global news organization," BBC World Managing Director Mark Young says. "They will allow BBC Worldwide to maximize commercial, distribution and marketing initiatives to ensure the continuing expansion of the operation." Copyright June 1997, Crain Communications Inc.

After a 9,300 mile journey through 40 states, Belmont’s “40 States in 40 Days: Rediscovering America” class returned to Nashville late Wednesday evening. Despite skipping the last city on the tour, Montgomery, Ala., due to a mechanical failure on their bus, the ten students along with traveling faculty members Ken Spring and Andi Stepnick arrived home with new perspective on their country and culture. Junior Jenni Kilen blogged earlier this week, “Either CNN has done a total revamp, or I really have changed a lot over the past 37 days. As Emily, Shirah and I sat down to the glorious cheap salad bar in the grocery store we are parked near, I found myself absorbed in the T.V. Instead of tuning out information that was either too depressing or didn’t seem relevant in my life, CNN was more like a collage of stories that weaved gracefully into my thought process these last six weeks… I don’t think travel is necessary for these kinds of discoveries, but I am thankful to have had the privilege to have my eyes opened.” The class continued to receive media coverage throughout its journey, including an article in the July 17 Chronicle of Higher Education Daily Report.

Nehru Memorial College became Autonomous in 2004 and continues to be affiliated to Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli. The college has been given freedome to frame its own programmes at various levels viz., Under Graduate, Post Graduate, Certificate / Diploma / Advanced Diploma, Pre-Doctoral (MPhil) and adopt innovative methods of teaching and evaluation. In keeping with its tradition of promoting innovation and growth, the college had introduced the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) since 2005-2006 with the following objectives: The evaluation method of CBCS with grading provides a much better picture of the academic personality of the students than the existing one with marks indicated in percentages. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) and Grade Point Average (GPA) are indicators of the academic performance of the students. The students can have horizontal mobility in choosing Non Major Based Electives (for UG programmes), Open Elective Course (for PG programmes), Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses for their further empowerment with learning flexibility. The candidates are also permitted to choose Major Based Elective Courses of their choice among the courses offered by various departments. This is a modern system which consists of Teaching, Learning and Evaluation introduced in Higher Educational Institutions to keep the curriculum relevant to the demands in Job Market. Students are offered with a choice of a variety of courses viz., Skill Based Courses, Non-Major Based Elective Courses and Major Based Elective Courses for improving their employability skills. They can choose any course of their interest and need during the period of study and earn extra credits and certificates in addition to the regular programme. In our College, Choice Based Credit System is followed in semester pattern. Under this system every course is fixed with certain credit points, based on the, quantum of subject matter, complexity of the content and the allotted instruction hours. This is done after a detailed discussion on the curriculum and syllabus content of each course by the Members of Board of Studies and then the same is formally approved by the Academic Council. The office of the Controller of Examinations (COE) will issue application form for each student for registration to appear for Semester, Supplementary and Instant examinations. The students will have to remit the prescribed fees in the college office during working hours of all working days before the due date. The students will have to write the name of the course and its code in the space provided or put a (√) mark in the box provided. Late applications after the due date will never be accepted by our office. The office of the COE will prepare Hall tickets for all the registered candidates and send them to college office for issuing to the respective students. The students who have lost their Hall Tickets can get his/her duplicate Hall Ticket after remitting Rs.100/- (Rupees One Hundred only) in the office of the COE.

Rio is a bustling metropolis (the third-largest city in South America) and is well-known for its dazzling parades during the season of carnival and as the birthplace of musical genres such as samba and Bassa Nova. Recognized by many as the best private university in Brazil, PUC-Rio is a non-profit Catholic university that was founded in 1940 with an objective of knowledge based on humanistic values. PUC-Rio’s campus is located in Gávea, a neighborhood in the southern part of Rio de Janeiro. The university enrolls around 20,000 students annually, from a variety of religious, ethnic and social backgrounds. COURSES AND CREDITS A list of the courses offered at PUC-Rio is available online at http://www.puc-rio.br/ensinopesq/ccci/incoming/registration.html.

All students will be registered by the Study Abroad Office as full-time students during their semester abroad, which is 12 hours for undergraduate students and 9 hours for graduate students. Undergraduate students must return with the equivalent of at least 12 hours of credit on their host university transcript (9 hours for graduate students).

Husband of Malak Thawley who died during emergency surgery makes breakthrough in fight for independent inquiry The husband of the late Malak Thawley who died during emergency surgery at the National Maternity Hospital last year has made a breakthrough in his fight to have an independent inquiry into her death. It follows a constructive meeting with Health Minister Simon Harris who has asked former Rotunda Hospital master Peter McKenna to carry out an assessment of the inquest and internal report into her death. The report will be finalised within weeks and given to Mr Thawley. It will be his decision if he wants to proceed with an external investigation which would involve a team of specialists from outside the country. Me Thawley's solicitor Caoimhe Haughey said they will await this preliminary report before they make a decision. Ms Thawley (34) died during emergency surgery for an ectopic pregnancy. A blood vessel was accidentally cut and she suffered a fatal haemorrhage.

In an effort to minimize disputes regarding whether a truck body satisfies the weight-based exclusion provided in Section 4051(a)(2), the Internal Revenue Service, in Rev. Proc. 2005-19, has established four truck body safe harbors. Section 4051(a)(2) provides an exclusion from the tax imposed by Section 4051(a)(1) for truck chassis and bodies suitable for use with a vehicle that has a gross vehicle weight of 33,000 pounds or less. Similarly, Section 4051(a)(3) provides an exclusion for truck trailer and semi-trailer chassis and bodies suitable for use with a trailer or semi-trailer that has a GVW of 26,000 pounds or less. The IRS announced that it will not challenge a seller's determination that any of the following classifications of truck body types meet the "suitable for use" standard and sales thereof are excluded from the retail excise tax pursuant to Section 4051(a)(2): 1. Platform truck bodies 21 feet or less in length; 2. Dry freight and refrigerated truck van bodies 24 feet or less in length; 3. Dump truck bodies with load capacities of eight cubic yards or less; or 4. Refuse packer truck bodies with load capacities of 20 cubic yards or less. Other body types may also still satisfy the "suitable for use" standard if the seller can establish that, pursuant to Reg. 145.4051-1(a)(4), the truck body has practical and commercial fitness for use with a vehicle having a GVW of 33,000 pounds or less. Rev. Proc. 2005-19 is effective for sales on or after April 4, 2005. In the case of sales before April 4, 2005, the IRS won't challenge sellers who take positions consistent with the revenue procedure's safe harbors.

In other words, do not place the same article on more than one web page. The reason for this is that when you have two or more web pages with the same content, you will also have a set of inbound links that point to several pages rather than have the entire set of links point to one page.

You can use it again later in header tags and further content, but don't overdo it. You want the text to flow in a very natural manner. Words that are crammed into it over and over will stick out like a sore thumb. Create a business blog. Blogging is an effective way to utilize the use of long-tail keywords from niches within your business sector. In addition, search engines love sites with frequently updated or fresh content. A blog is a great way to provide both without changing the overall look of your site. Sites with active blogs more often than not enjoy higher ranking in search engine rankings as well. If your site includes multiple videos, you should create a separate sitemap for them. This sitemap can then be submitted to your site account on Google Webmaster Central, where it can then be more easily accessed and analyzed by web crawlers and spiders. This also adds to the overall integrity and relevance of your site. Take care in creating titles for your articles and content. Just as with old-fashioned newspaper headlines, the titles of your offerings should tell the reader what the article is about and give a bit of clear, pointed information. Titles should not be misleading or have a "bait-and-switch" effect. Visitors will feel cheated if they are sucked in by a title and then read content that doesn't deliver.

You should now find yourself ahead of the game if you are working to become an expert or just trying to get a bit of background information.
