Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) - update
9 January 2014 - WHO has been informed of an additional laboratory-confirmed case of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in Oman.
The case is a 59 year-old man who became sick with fever, cough and shortness of breath on 20 December 2013 and was admitted to hospital in North Batinha Governorate on 24 December. On 28 December his condition deteriorated and he was transferred to an intensive care unit and was diagnosed with pneumonia. The patient died on 30 December. A laboratory confirmation of MERS-CoV was made on 1 January 2014. The patient had a history of daily exposure to camels and other farm animals and also participated in camel race events. In addition, the man was a heavy smoker.
Globally, from September 2012 to date, WHO has been informed of a total of 178 laboratory-confirmed cases of infection with MERS-CoV, including 75 deaths.
Based on the current situation and available information, WHO encourages all Member States to continue their surveillance for severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) and to carefully review any unusual patterns.
Health care providers are advised to maintain vigilance. Recent travellers returning from the Middle East who develop SARI should be tested for MERS-CoV as advised in the current surveillance recommendations.
Patients diagnosed and reported to date have had respiratory disease as their primary illness. Diarrhoea is commonly reported among the patients and severe complications include renal failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with shock. It is possible that severely immunocompromised patients can present with atypical signs and symptoms.
Health care facilities are reminded of the importance of systematic implementation of infection prevention and control (IPC). Health care facilities that provide care for patients suspected or confirmed with MERS-CoV infection should take appropriate measures to decrease the risk of transmission of the virus to other patients, health care workers and visitors.
All Member States are reminded to promptly assess and notify WHO of any new case of infection with MERS-CoV, along with information about potential exposures that may have resulted in infection and a description of the clinical course. Investigation into the source of exposure should promptly be initiated to identify the mode of exposure, so that further transmission of the virus can be prevented.
People at high risk of severe disease due to MERS-CoV should avoid close contact with animals when visiting farms or barn areas where the virus is known to be potentially circulating. For the general public, when visiting a farm or a barn, general hygiene measures, such as regular hand washing before and after touching animals, avoiding contact with sick animals, and following food hygiene practices, should be adhered to.
WHO does not advise special screening at points of entry with regard to this event nor does it currently recommend the application of any travel or trade restrictions.
WHO has convened an Emergency Committee under the International Health Regulations (IHR) to advise the Director-General on the status of the current situation. The Emergency Committee, which comprises international experts from all WHO Regions, unanimously advised that, with the information now available, and using a risk-assessment approach, the conditions for a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) have not at present been met.

Route: MGY-4G1-MGY (Approaches at 4G1, MFD, MGY)
Weather: Scattered clouds, 78 degrees, wind variable at 4 knots
Mike and I had a puppy-filled weekend. Seven little guys flew into Wright Brothers on Friday night from North Carolina. I took four of them, who couldn't have been more than 8-10 weeks old, home with me for the night and Mike fostered the other three. They were cute and cuddly, just as you'd expect puppies to be. See below for proof! :)
When we first got home, they were pretty much inseparable
Getting more cuddly...
These two loved to be close to each other
Contained in the tiled part of the house - as if I need to explain why
No sane person can say no to these adorable little faces, right?
Fast-forward to this morning, when we met at Wright Brothers around 8:00. It was time to fly the pups to Greenville Municipal Airport, just across the OH-PA state line. There we would meet another pilot who was flying them the rest of the way to their new home near Buffalo, NY.
It took a little while to load them into the plane but we were underway around 8:45. The weather was absolutely beautiful on the way up - mostly clear skies and smooth, cool air. The dogs pretty much relaxed in their carriers the entire trip and Mike and I chatted much of the way.
One of the reasons I was tagging along on the trip was to act as a Safety Pilot. For those of you who don't know what that means, it's pretty simple. Mike's working on his Instrument Rating, which will allow him to fly in the clouds. In order to practice (and this would be the same for a pilot who is already Instrument Rated) he has to wear a device that prevents him from seeing outside. Since we're flying in Visual conditions, we are responsible for "Seeing and Avoiding" all other aircraft. Long story short, if one pilot is "under the hood" the FAA requires another pilot on board to watch for traffic and monitor everything. So that's where I came in - I kept my eyes outside and made a couple radio calls whenever Mike put the hood on.
As we approached Greenville, Mike called Youngstown Approach and requested the VOR/GPS Approach into the airport. An instrument approach is basically a series of points and altitudes you fly through in order to safely arrive at an airport in low visibility, clouds, etc. So he flew us down from cruise altitude on instruments until about a mile from the airport, at which point he peeked outside again and made a normal landing.
Puppies and airplanes really do play well together
Charging at me on the ground at Greenville Municipal Airport
Mike and I attempting to say goodbye to all the energetic puppies
Starting to load the dogs into their second 182 of the day
These guys were quite content just relaxing on the ramp
One final goodbye to this cute little dude
All loaded up and ready for the last leg of their journey
The dogs were all happy to get out of their cages and roam around once we landed, as you can see from the above photos. We chatted with the other pilot for a short while as he met the puppies, then loaded them into his own airplane. It was around 11:00 when we took off and headed back towards Dayton.
Instead of flying directly home, we first headed towards Mansfield. They are known for having great controllers and quite a few pilots around here seem to practice approaches there. Today it was our airplane taking advantage of their hospitality; Mike flew the ILS Runway 32 Approach. We didn't land - just got down close to the runway then continued on our way home.
One of my favorite sights in the air - clouds reflecting off lakes
Final for Runway 32 during a practice ILS approach at Mansfield
It's always fun passing over Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
Passing downtown Dayton on the RNAV GPS Runway 20 approach into MGY

Today's Flight: 0.8 hours (SIC)
Total Time: 224.5 hours

On a Spring Assist knife, there is no separate button or switch. Instead, you apply pressure to part of the blade to begin the opening process. This is usually a small bump of metal which sticks out under the knife, making it fast and comfortable to use. Once you press on that part of the blade, it automatically opens and locks into place. Since the action of opening the knife is started by pressing the blade metal, instead of a button or switch, it is considered to bypass the laws which ban Switch Blade knives.

12 Westminster Ave.
Venice, CA 90291
If the Lizard King slept here, it wasn't because his name was on the lease. Rock star and leader of the Doors Jim Morrison had friends in the building and evidently partied on the roof. Some say he wrote much of the Doors' first two records in the rooftop apartment. But local historian Jeffrey Stanton terms claims that Morrison lived in the building at Westminster and Speedway, urban legend.

Engaging Business Users to Business Intelligence Competency Center
Purhonen, Ville
Permanent address of the item is
Summary ViewShow full item record
This thesis deals with the engagement of business users to Business Intelligence Competency Center (BICC). The concept of BICC is still relatively young and it has not been researched a lot. The benefits and the downsides of BICC presented in the existing literature are also related to the engagement of business users to this more centralized Business Intelligence (BI). New centralized BI offers different means and methods but it also sets up different challenges considering the engagement. The main objective of this thesis was to find out different means and methods to engage business users to Business Intelligence Competency Center. The research was conducted as applied case research on an assignment and it was focused on solving real practical problems in the case environment. The qualitative research material was based on the observations and the interviews of two different BI solution development cases. The analysis of the research material was built on two descriptive narratives and their categorization and summarization. The results of this research show that the means and the methods of engaging business users to BICC are familiar from the existing change management literature. However, the importance of BI solution"s superiority was notable compared to other ways of engagement. Also the timing of introducing superior BI solution did not make any difference in engagement as opposed to the indications of the existing literature. The research also indicated that as the maturity of BICC increases the means and methods of engagement should also change considering increased coverage and standardization, and the dilution of personal touch. Also conducted research brought out different challenges considering the engagement of business users to centralized BICC. As a conclusion, this thesis is able to give managers a good overall understanding of engaging business users to BICC. They can achieve better engagement with less effort and consider how the characteristics of their own environment affect on the engagement. For academics this research works as an opening for further research related to engaging business users to Business Intelligence Competency Center. /Kir10

While President Obama pushed Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform in his State of the Union address, many states are already paving the way toward a more sensible set of policies.
Nowhere is this clearer than in offering equal access to higher education, regardless of immigration status.
Twelve states have laws allowing students who meet specific requirements, regardless of their status, to pay in-state tuition rates at public post-secondary institutions: California, Connecticut, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Washington.
Rhode Island's Board of Governors for Higher Education adopted a policy permitting eligible students to pay in-state tuition rates, regardless of their status. Minnesota offers a "flat" tuition rate to students, regardless of their status. Three states — California, Texas and New Mexico — allow qualified students, regardless of immigration status, to get financial aid or scholarships, and another, Illinois, established a private fund to raise money to aid undocumented students.
Last week, the University of Hawaii regents approved a plan to offer in-state tuition to stude3nts who meet certain criteria, regardless of their status.
New York may soon join this group. Assembly Democrats in Albany support the tuition assistance bill, while Senate Republicans seem to be wavering in their opposition. So far, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been sitting on the fence. A vibrant coalition of students and educators have high hopes, however, that Cuomo will demonstrate the kind of leadership he exercised in passing laws on gun control and gay marriage. At least a dozen other states are likely to consider bills to improve access to education for immigrants — measures that are gaining bipartisan support.
Colorado's tuition equity bill is well on its way to becoming law this year. In a state where immigration at times has been a toxic issue, the politics shifted dramatically after last year's election. Republicans lost their majority in the state House, while Democrats held theirs in the Senate, in no small part due to political participation among Latinos, who were repelled by the anti-immigrant rhetoric of Republican politicians.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, has expressed support for the measure, and in the post-election context, one Republican already has already voted for the bill.
The moral case is clear. These "DREAMers" have lived in the United States since they were children. So many are outspoken, smart, and passionate. Many first discovered that they did not have a Social Security number or a lawful status when they applied to college.
The economic argument is even clearer. Higher levels of educational attainment mean greater productivity for workers, and a state with better-educated workers provides a more attractive climate for business. A college degree translates into increased incomes for individuals and stronger tax revenues. In New York, the Fiscal Policy Institute estimated that the typical graduate of a two-year college earns $10,000 more than a high school graduate, and pays $1,000 a year more in state and local taxes. That's a very good return on the state's investment — and the returns look even better for four-year degrees.
These farsighted state policies on immigration won't substitute for comprehensive reform at the federal level, but they help point the way.

Quebec is home to an impressive number of species of birds that vary from residents, that stay all year around, to breeding birds, that spend a good part of the growing season in Quebec to raise their young, migrants who pass through Quebec with the seasons, to wintering birds who like to spend a good part of the winter in Quebec to escape colder conditions up north. While many species of birds are relatively common as they are part of the ecosystems of the province, it is always a thrill to stumble upon a rare bird or vagrant, that does not really form part of any the Quebec ecosystems. Maybe it got lost during its travels between its summer and winter residence or it got displaced by bad weather.
Among the species of the checklist of the birds of Quebec you can find waterfowl and wading birds, a large suite of songbirds, raptors, game birds, swifts and nighthawks, etc., many of which occupy several ecosystems simultaneously, as they fly to and from forests, meadows, shorelines of waters, cities and and urban green spaces. At Birdlist, we have developed a coding system that can help you predict when you may expect a certain species, with a code for seasonality, such as resident, nesting, wintering, etc. A code for abundance will give you a clue on the likelihood that you may actually see a certain species of bird. As we progressed with the coding, we realized that there should be a differentiation in the coding for "common", such as less common, common and very common birds. However, this would require reliable quantative data, which for most provinces, are not revealed by the commission of bird records. We hope to provide those in the future. In the meantime, enjoy the current checklist of the birds of Quebec.

The recent news that Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston were engaged came as a shock to many.
After all, here's a couple whose relationship imploded on the world stage and turned into a bitter family feud involving Palin's mother Sarah Palin, the former vice presidential candidate.
Following their breakup, the pair traveled very different paths: Bristol Palin went on to be a spokeswoman for teen abstinence; Levi Johnston posed for Playgirl.
But like star-crossed lovers, Palin and Johnston found a way to come back together, reuniting for the sake of their year-old son, Tripp.
"It's like Romeo and Juliet in Wasilla," Joy Behar said on "The View."
And while their relationship may seem rife with reality TV-like drama, according to Thomas Van Flein, the Palin family attorney, there's no plan for the young mom to chroncile her romance anytime soon.
"There is a lot of public speculation that Bristol and Levi have signed up for a reality show about their relationship," he said in a statement to ABC News today. "They have not. While several networks have pitched different concepts, Bristol has not agreed to participate in any show. Her focus remains on doing what is best for Tripp and her family."
Though they announced their engagement last week on the cover of US Weekly, senior editor Lindsay Powers said the news shouldn't come as a total surprise.
"About a month ago we saw the relationship thawing between them," Powers told ABCNews.com.
That's when Palin told "Good Morning America" that she was getting back together with Johnston for Tripp's sake.
"I am doing my best to raise a happy, active and healthy boy," Palin said. "I believe that wherever possible, if the parents can cooperate and co-parent in a positive way, the child will benefit. Levi and I are turning a new page here as co-parents to this wonderful boy and putting aside the past because doing so is in Tripp's best interest."
They certainly wouldn't be the first couple to reunite for the kids and they certainly won't be the last. But will other celebrity couples who have split up follow in their footsteps? Last week, several former couples made headlines. ABCNews.com thought it would be fun to take a look at their chances of getting back together. Powers ranked them from most to least likely.

A new burndown herbicide offering improvements over previous products powered by Roundup Technology will be available to wheat growers across the Western Great Plains in time for spring burndown, 2013.
The new product, branded RT 4 herbicide, is specially reformulated for farmer and retailer use and can be applied pre-plant, postharvest and to fallow ground and will replace the current RT 3 brand going forward.
RT 4 is an American-made product that has been tested and formulated exclusively for Western Plains growing conditions. It will be priced competitively with foreign-made generic glyphosate formulations, according to Monsanto. Wayne J. Jelinek, Monsanto U.S. Roundup and RT 4 Manager, explains that growers will notice significant improvements in RT 4 over the previous RT 3 herbicide.
"The most noticeable benefits will be the improved handling characteristics and reduced foaming," Jelinek explains. "The new herbicide will maintain the same level of concentration, offering improved logistical efficiency by covering more acres per gallon than most generics and branded imitators."
RT 4 herbicide will also feature reliable, consistent performance on tough-to-control weeds, including annual and perennial weeds, improved performance under cool and wet spring conditions, and better performance during hot and dry summer weather, according to Monsanto.
"Monsanto's commitment to bringing improved formulations to growers across the U.S. and the world is our primary objective," Jelinek stresses. "Roundup brand agricultural herbicides have been on the market since 1974, and we have worked hard to improve these formulations many times over. We are not yet finished, and Monsanto will continue to improve on its flagship herbicide brands."
RT 4 herbicide will be supported by Monsanto's Tough Weed, Tough Conditions Warranty and the Roundup 30-Minute Rainfast Warranty. Monsanto will begin shipping RT 4 in November of 2012, making this latest brand available for the Spring 2013 burndown season.

Raster - The rectangular area of a display screen actually being used to display images. The raster is slightly smaller than the physical dimensions of the display screen. Also, the raster varies for different resolutions. For example, VGA resolution of 640x480 on a 15-inch monitor produces one raster, whereas SVGA resolution of 1,024x768 produces a slightly different raster. Most monitors are autosizing, meaning that they automatically use the optimal raster depending on the monitor's size and the video adapter's resolution. In addition, most monitors have controls that allow you to move the raster, resize it, and even to rotate it. (Webopedia: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/r/raster.html)

Science Teacher: Fred, can you tell me one conveyance that conducts electricity?
Fred: Why, er….
Science Teacher: Wire is correct.
From the jokesdictionary.com
After an electrician finished repairing some faulty wiring in a lawyer's home he handed him the bill. "$500? For an hour's work?" cried the attorney. "That's ridiculous! Why I'm an attorney and I don't charge that much." To which the electrician replied, "Funny, when I was an lawyer I didn't either!"

Choice Hops And Bottled Self Esteem Lyrics
Last call, lights on peel your faces off the bar.
Go to church cause you need a good cleansing of body mind and soul
I never thought it possible but I think I've fallen in love with someone worse than me
And I love you to death, but I just don't think I like you anymore.
The healing power of alcohol only works on scrapes and nicks
Not on girls in seedy bars who drown themselves in it
They say that scent is the strongest sense that's tied to memory and the smell of this place is almost as bad as the memory tied to it
I've tried to forget that sickening stench with everything I've got
But you can't trust a heart that was cold from the start
You just waste your time on it
The healing power of alcohol only works on scrapes and nicks
Not on girls in seedy bars who drown themselves in it
You can play all day and tell your friends that everything's alright
The truth is that your heart collapsed 2 years ago tonight
You should thank your lucky stars for all the times you've been ashamed You've learned more from the harder times then times that you've been vain
A lesson learned is priceless gain if you can take the sting
You threw away your friends as if drinks are all the friends you need

Principal Investigator(s):
There is increasing concern among scientists and the general public about the current state of marine fisheries and their supporting ecosystems. Recent scientific progress on this topic has been partly overshadowed by significant controversy on how to assess marine resources and how to address current problems in ocean management. Marine ecologists and fisheries scientists often tend to favor contrasting approaches, and we observe that these schools of thought have polarized over time. We now recognize this situation as counterproductive and propose to address this controversy where possible. In the proposed Working Group we are trying to define common ground among marine ecologists and fishery scientists by (1) developing a unifying terminology and a common analytical framework for assessing marine fisheries and ecosystem change, (2) applying this framework to a number of representative marine ecosystems around the globe, and (3) assessing management successes and failures in order to identify a set of tools that have been proven to reverse trends of degradation in marine fish stocks and ecosystems. This process should also identify areas of continued disagreement, important for focusing future research. In a final step we will present our conclusions to managers, NGO and government agencies, helping them to understand the progress that has been made. The central question we are trying to answer is: how can we merge contrasting objectives, tools, and scientific criteria among marine ecology, fisheries science, and management into a unifying framework. We envision that this group will be acting as a catalyst for joining scientific forces in a quest to sustain and restore valuable marine resources.
Major publications produced by this group have been featured in the media in 2011, 2010 and 2009. The 2009 publication "Rebuilding Global Fisheries" was also awarded the Sustainability Science Award from the Ecological Society of America (ESA).

A Pennsylvania man mistakenly threw $1.25 million worth of winning lottery tickets in the trash.
The tickets were sold at Zhou Grocery in York.
Wendy Hinton works at the store. She tells the York Daily Record that a regular who played the same numbers every day bought 25 tickets, each worth $50,000. She says he misread them and threw them away.
Hinton says he was plenty upset when he learned of his costly mistake.
The Pennsylvania Lottery confirms that 25 winning Quinto tickets were sold at the store on March 13, 2013. The tickets expired last month and the money remains in the Lottery Fund.
Lottery spokeswoman Lauren Bottaro's reaction: "Oh, no. Wow.''

Consumer Agency Survey Reveals Top Consumer Complaints
A new survey conducted by the Consumer Federation of America (CFA), National Association of Consumer Agency Administrators (NACAA), and North American Consumer Protection Investigators (NACPI) identified the top ten consumer complaints in the nation for 2009.
The survey also indicated that the nation's economic woes hit consumers and state and local consumer agencies hard last year. The majority of agencies surveyed received more complaints in 2009 than the previous year, and many of those complaints were related to credit and debt. At the same time that demand was up, many of these agencies saw their resources shrink.
The Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs was one of 33 state and local consumer protection authorities who participated in the survey. According to Joe Doyle, Administrator of the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs, the top complaints among Georgia consumers pertained to goods/merchandise, debt collection, auto repairs/service, used car sales, and cable/satellite. These issues were among the nation's top-ranked complaints as well.
Top Consumer Complaints Nationwide for 2009
"Consumers who are desperately trying to fend off collection agencies or save their homes from foreclosure are prey to scammers who offer to help them and then take their money and run," said Susan Grant, CFA Director of Consumer Protection. "Despite layoffs, hiring freezes, and furloughs, state and local consumer agencies are making herculean efforts to keep up with these and other complaints."
In addition to bogus offers to help consumers save their homes from foreclosure, which were the fastest-growing nationwide complaints last year, complaints that were particularly related to the recession included aggressive collection practices, debt settlement and other types of debt relief services, advance fee loans, business opportunities, business closings, landlord/tenant problems resulting from foreclosures, job scams, investment schemes, and auto dealers failing to pay off loans on trade-ins.
"When times are hard, consumers are more vulnerable to false promises of easy ways to make or borrow money," said Anna Huddleston-Aycock, a Justice Analyst with the Pinellas County Department of Justice and Consumer Services in Florida and current President of NACPI.
The agencies that responded to the survey received more than 300,000 individual complaints and obtained nearly $110 million in restitution or savings for consumers last year. "State and local consumer agencies handle all kinds of complaints, from a $15 order that the consumer never received, to a $150,000 problem with a home improvement contractor, to multi-state actions involving thousands of consumers," said Elizabeth Owen, NACAA Executive Director.
Following are the complaint categories that most frequently appeared in the agencies' top ten lists. Their ranking in the top ten in 2008 is noted in parenthesis.
Top Consumer Complaints for 2009
- Auto: (1) Misrepresentations in advertising or sales of new and used cars; lemons; faulty repairs; leasing and towing disputes
- Credit/Debt: (3) Billing and fee disputes; mortgage-related fraud; credit repair; debt relief services; predatory lending; illegal or abusive debt collection tactics
- Home Improvement/Construction: (2) Shoddy work; failure to start or complete the job
- Utilities: (4) Service problems or billing disputes with phone, cable, satellite, Internet, electric and gas services
- Retail Sales: (5) False advertising and other deceptive practices; defective merchandise; problems with rebates, coupons, gift cards and gift certificates; failure to deliver
- Services: (6) Misrepresentations; shoddy work; failure to have required licenses; failure to perform
- Internet Sales: (9) Misrepresentations or other deceptive practice; failure to deliver online purchases
- Household Goods: (7) misrepresentations; failure to deliver; faulty repairs in connection with furniture or appliances
- (tie) Landlord/Tenant: (8) Unhealthy or unsafe conditions; failure to make repairs or provide promised amenities; deposit and rent disputes; illegal eviction tactics; Home Solicitations: (9) Misrepresentations or failure to deliver in door-to-door, telemarketing or mail solicitations; do-not-call violations
- Health Products/Services: (10) misleading claims; unlicensed practitioners; failure to deliver
Ten Ways That Consumers Can Protect Themselves
Before you buy from unfamiliar companies, check with the Better Business Bureau and online complaint forums to see if other people have reported serious problems.
- Hire licensed professionals. When you're hiring home improvement contractors or other professionals, ask your state or local consumer agency if they must be licensed or registered and how you can check to confirm that they are.
- Pay the safest way. When you buy goods or services that will be delivered later, pay with a credit card so you can dispute the charges if they don't arrive or aren't what you were promised.
- Use gift cards and gift certificates promptly. Even well-established businesses can suddenly close or go bankrupt, and it may be impossible to get refunds for the unused balances on gift cards and gift certificates.
- Don't pay in full upfront. If you are asked for a deposit for home improvement or other services, pay a small amount, never the full price upfront.
- Recognize the danger signs of fraud. Be suspicious of any requests to wire money; scare tactics or pressure to act immediately; promises that you can borrow, win or make money easily if you pay a fee in advance; and any situation in which someone gives you a check or money order and asks you to send money somewhere in return.
- Get all promises in writing. Verbal agreements are hard to prove. Carefully read contracts or finance agreements and make sure you understand them before you sign.
- Seek help for financial problems from legitimate sources. If you're having trouble paying your bills, consult a nonprofit consumer credit counseling service. Steer clear of debt settlement services that require most or all of the fees to be paid before any of your debts are settled. If you can't afford your mortgage payments, contact your lender to try to work out a loan modification. If the lender is unresponsive or unhelpful, call 1-800-569-4287 or go to http://nhl.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hcc/hcs.cfm to find a local housing counselor certified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Reject unsolicited offers of help from any company except the lender to whom you send your mortgage payments.
- Know your debt collection rights. Under federal law you have the right to dispute debts that you don't owe, and many states prohibit action to collect debts after a certain number of years. Federal and many state laws also prohibit debt collectors from calling with annoying frequency, falsely threatening legal action, and discussing debts with people who aren't legally responsible for them.
- When in doubt, check it out. If you're not sure what your rights are or you think something might be fishy, ask your state or local consumer agency for advice.
Georgia consumers who have a complaint against a business can contact the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs at 404-651-8600 or 800-869-1123.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - Derek Masterson of UC Santa Barbara won the decathlon and two of his teammates finished among the top-six at the Big West Conference Multi-Event competition and the first leg of the 2013 Big West Track and Field Championships at Cal State Northridge on Saturday.
Samantha Balentine of Hawai'i took home the heptathlon title while UCSB freshman Tori Usgaard finished fourth.
Both Masterson and Balentine won by less than 100 points in two tight battles that went down to the final event.
Masterson scored 7,376 points to capture his second straight decathlon title, nipping the 7,355 he amassed last year at UC Irvine. He narrowly edged Long Beach State senior Garrett Demirjian, who finished second with 7,296 points. Mikael Powers of UCSB collected 7,100 points for third while Cal Poly teammates Devin Bennett and Dominic Byrne finished fourth (6,989) and fifth (6,833) in the final standings, respectively.
Masterson accumulated just enough points as he tied for first in the pole vault with a clearance of 15-01, second in the discus with a toss of 140-00 and third in the javelin with a heave of 177-07. The senior is the first Big West athlete to win two straight decathlons since Idaho's Jereme Richardson in 2004 and 2005.
Demirjian, who improved one spot from third after day one of the multi's, nearly stripped away Masterson's title with consistent solid showings. He started the day out with back-to-back victories in the 110 hurdles (14.73) and discus (141-10). The senior made a final push for the title as he completed the 1,500 meters in third place with a time of 4:29.86.
The Gauchos rode Masterson, Powers and junior Billy Britt, who came in sixth (6,523 points), to a team total of 19 points heading into the bulk of next week's meet at the Matador Track and Field Complex. Cal Poly collected nine team points and Long Beach State tallied eight.
In the heptathlon, Hawai'i senior Balentine held off UC Riverside senior Jazmine Lewis and Long Beach State junior Taylor Jackson to get the Rainbow Wahine off to a great start in their first Big West Track and Field Championship.
Balentine earned 5,060 points after finishing ninth in the long jump (17-00.75), sixth in the javelin (101-00) and fifth in the 800 meters (2:27.91). She outran both Jackson and Lewis in the 800 to pick up the required points to hold off her closest pursuers.
Lewis notched 4,974 points for the runner-up finish and Jackson was third with 4,963. UC Santa Barbara freshman Tori Usgaard had an excellent fourth place showing (4,828) in her first conference heptathlon. Cal State Northridge junior Stephanie Hicks was fifth with 4,773 points.
UH accumulated a total of 15 team points as Balentine's 10 were coupled with the five additional points that junior Kaleigh Morrison and senior Amanda Alvarez earned by virtue of their sixth and seventh place finishes.
Competition continues on Friday, May 10 at Cal State Northridge with the women's hammer throw at 9:00 a.m. Live results may be accessed on the Big West championship page and flashwest.com.

Time to get a little supernatural in the Christmas book promotions and indulge in some paranormal and Fantasy…..and no better place to start the proceedings than with Marcia Meara – The Emissary 2: To Love Somebody.
About the Novella
In Marcia Meara's second installment of The Emissary Trilogy, a Riverbend spinoff series of novellas, we find our three heroes at it again. Beautiful new places, exciting new adventures, and a whole assortment of new problems await them, bringing tears, laughter, and an extraordinary amount of love along with them.
Trouble never does a head count before showing up …They're back!
Jake and Dodger, the first (and so far, only) Emissaries to the Angels, are on the road again.
They're looking for mortals about to take a wrong turn. You know the ones—the kid thinking about stealing from a corner market or the man planning to lie about a coworker and destroy her career. Yeah, them. People on the brink of making a mistake that could send them down that wrong road and jeopardize their mortal souls.
Of course, there are rules by which the emissaries must play, and the archangel Azrael stands ready to enforce them. First and foremost, a person's free will must never be compromised. Emissaries are allowed to use only the smallest of mental nudges. Thankfully, a whispered suggestion here or images of a better course of action there is usually all it takes. The potential mugger walks on by. The thief drops the wallet back into the unattended purse. But whether the results are obvious or not, Jake and Dodger are fully committed to making a positive difference, even as they struggle with issues of their own.
Will Dodger get over losing his chance to learn what true love is all about? Will Jake survive the grueling angelic equivalent of Boot Camp? Will Azrael ever finish the Official Emissarial Guidebook—including the chapter titled Do Not Even Think About It?
One thing's for sure—Jake's and Dodger's strengths are growing daily, as they help more and more people make better choices. But is the price for so much power higher than they're willing to pay?
A recent review for the book
Not all sweetness and light this time, as Azrael gets serious about equipping both Jake and Dodger for their job of helping souls in trouble. I loved the chapter about the training session, and how Dodger and Jake reacted to the new strong-arm tactics.
I loved everything about this book just as I did the first in the series. The way Dodger tries to cope with his insecurities, and Jake's capable and patient attitude. Azrael had me laughing, he tried hard not to lose it as he struggled to get his point across to these very different personalities.
You never really imagine an angel getting cranky, now do you?
The missing element between Jake and Dodger, always a possible father-son relationship, really gets going in this book. I found it beautifully written and very emotional as I never got to know my own father. Altogether though, I thought they made a great team as they travel around the country, helping us mortals keep on the straight and narrow.
A subtle reminder that some of us in this world can't be helped, but wouldn't it be wonderful to know someone cares enough to try!

Now time for some Fantasy courtesy of War of Nytefall Book 2: Lost by Charles E. Yallowitz
About Lost
As the Vampire Civil War of Windemere rages on in the shadows, a mysterious girl appears to deliver mayhem to both sides.
Rumors of old-world vampires disappearing and mortals being attacked by an army of humanoid monsters have reached Clyde's ears. Still learning how to rule the city of Nytefall as a strong, but fair leader instead of a vicious warlord, the former thief assumes he has rogue agents on his hands. Instead, his people stumble upon Lost, a teenage Dawn Fang looking for her father and aided by a decrepit bunny that might be an animated corpse. Bounding from one side of the Vampire Civil War to another, this carefree girl will turn out to be more trouble than she looks as all of the demons of her past emerge to get what they have been promised. Yet, her chaotic actions are nothing compared to the secret of her creation, which will change the very fabric of the Dawn Fangs' world.
It is time for the womb-born to be revealed.
One of the recent reviews for the book
N. N. Light Yallowitz pens an all-encompassing world! October 5, 2018
As the vampire civil war intensifies, a new player emerges and like most in power, judging this teenage girl by her appearance is a deadly mistake. Her name is Lost and she's a Dawn Fang. She looks innocent and keeps talking about her mission to find her father. Chaos follows in her wake, causing mass confusion between Clyde and the Dawn Fangs as well as Xavier, his wife and their subjects. There's an army of followers looking for Lost, too. When she reveals she's womb-born and not fang-born, the vampiric world erupts. Once reunited with her parents, will Lost obey vampiric law or will she destroy them all?
Lost continues where Loyalty left off and for the most part, the plot moves at a good pace. Lost is a deceptive character, appearing innocent yet she's one powerful vampire. Lost reminds me of Darla from Buffy and Lamia Zacharius from Death Coach. Betrayal, especially in a vampire's world, is a criminal offense and there's plenty of it to go around. Yallowitz pens an all-encompassing world with quite a few twists and turns. The ending, though, was a little let-down. It can be read as a standalone, but you'll understand characters' motivation if you read book one first. Perfect for this time of year!
Favorite Character/Quote: "Fine, but after we take naps. A grumpy Princess General is a sloppy Princess General."

The next authors bring us fantasy in the form of a graphic novel…Mister Fox – Winter's Tail by Stuart France and Sue Vincent
About the book
Where is Mister Fox? The night howls in triumph… pale eyes watch from the shadows… It is the night of the Hunter's Moon and the dancing ground should be alive with flame as the Foxes dance in the dark. But the dancing ground is deserted. They are gone. No earthly light pierces the gloom, only the sickly glow of a veiled moon. Don and Wen stare in disbelief. Whispers in the shadows, a faceless voice, a tale of ambush and betrayal… of Foxes driven from their home and scattered, condemned to wander far from their ancestral lands. Charles James Fox wounded… none has seen him since that fateful night. Will the Hunter's Moon pass in darkness? Have the Demon Dogs succeeded in their mission to bring eternal winter to the land? Or will their celebrations be short-lived? …For none may mar the Dancing Ground Nor add their darkness to the night, Nor stand against the Silver Fox, The wielder of the Staff of Light…
One of the recent reviews for the book
The graphic novels that make up the Mister Fox series are, frankly, weird. Character development, plot, pacing, or almost any of the elements I would normally demand from a book—especially one I like—are virtually irrelevant. Instead the authors have created a visually stunning retelling of the cycle of the seasons, presented as an otherworldly re-enactment of a myth.
Every culture has stories of supernatural interference with the cycle of nature. Persephone has to go to Hades before she can come back to bring spring. The great summer and winter solstices have to be observed so planting and harvesting can be scheduled. Night has to follow day. Egyptian sun god Ra must fight the underworld serpent Apep every night in order for the day to return. The Greek goddesses of day and night, Hemia and Nyx, meet each day. "Nyx and Hemera draw near and greet one another as they pass the great threshold of bronze: and while the one is about to go down into the house, the other comes out at the door."–Hesiod's Theogony, c. 700BCE"
And how do you mark this importance? By showing what happens when the cycle is broken of course. When Persephone's distraught mother Demeter, the Goddess of the Harvest, can't find her daughter, all the crops fail. It's only the return of Persephone every spring that allows crops to grow.
And, as all believers know, it's better not to leave anything this important in the laps of easily distractable deities. So you build temples, chapels, stone circles. Conduct ceremonies, say prayers, and even channel your gods through ritual to ensure they stay on task.
And that's where Mister Charles Fox and his band of (anonymous) dancers come in. By firelight as autumn moves toward winter, Summer, in the form of a giant crow, wages epic battle against the foxes who herald the change of season and the arrival of winter. Their primeval battle is a dance, set to drum and pipe music and waged against the flickering flames of fire and torch.
But when the friends of the foxes, Wen and Don, arrive expecting to see the usual dance, they're shocked to find all the foxes have disappeared. Their search for their friends turns up a story that starts in 1591…
For this modern day recreation of a myth, the graphic novel format is perfect. The flames glow against the darkness, wrapping the dancers in a layer of magic and fantasy. And you've just got to love a background mystery that begins with, "The year," he said, "is fifteen-hundred and ninety-one…"
Like all books in this series, Mister Fox Winter's Tail is beautiful, fun, confusing, and leaves you feeling there are a lot more things going on than the few words and gorgeous pictures tell you (besides that pun in the title, of course!). And, while there are only a small number of pages, if a picture is worth a thousand words, this book is an epic.

Performing a HTC Aria hard/factory reset
You can return your phone to its original state, as it was when it left the factory. This is also called a hard reset. You might want to do this if you are giving your phone to a friend or relative and you want to remove all your data first, or if your phone has a persistent problem that is not solved by powering off the phone and then powering it on again.
A factory reset is a drastic measure. It permanently erases all your personal data and customized settings, and also removes any programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the information and files you want to keep.
If your phone hangs or freezes, we recommend that you do a "soft" reset instead of a hard/factory reset. To perform a soft reset, remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After re-installing the battery, turn on the phone.
Performing a HTC Aria factory reset via settings
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
Press HOME > MENU, then tap Settings.
Scroll down the screen, and then tap Privacy > Factory data reset.
On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase everything.
Performing a HTC Aria factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER to reset the device.

Next Leaders in the Climate Movement: Insurance Companies?
The insurance industry should become a leader in mitigating climate change, according to a report published by Ceres, a nonprofit that promotes sustainable business practices.
The report, "Stormy Future for U.S. Property and Casualty Insurers: The Growing Costs and Risks of Extreme Weather Events," warns that if insurance companies don't act, they are likely to pay out billions in claims due to events caused by climate change. This poses a risk to the viability of insurance companies and the economy in general, according to the report.
The report cites the $34 billion U.S. insurance companies paid out last year, much of which was for losses due to drought, fires, floods, and storms, as an example of the rising cost of climate change. It urges the insurance industry to address the issue by supporting the development of a low-carbon economy, and advocating for policies that reduce carbon emissions. Companies like Travelers and Swiss Re have been leading the way, and some government agencies and large fund investors are urging all insurance companies to be more proactive.
While our two main candidates for president have avoided the topic of global warming, the climate itself is anything but silent.
Could 350.org's aggressive new strategy bring an end to global warming?
The pundits are right that Obama should work to bridge political divides. But he needs to reach out to the American people—not to the Republican Party.

TV pitchman pleads for mercy, jailed anyway
CHICAGO — A federal judge rejected an impassioned plea from a television pitchman for his freedom on Tuesday, ordering U.S. Marshals to lock up Kevin Trudeau for failing to pay a $37 million civil judgment.
The visibly exasperated judge had already ordered that Trudeau be jailed during a hearing in Chicago when Trudeau stood up and asked if he could address the court. The Federal Trade Commission won the judgment after accusing Trudeau of hoodwinking viewers about his weight-loss books.
"There are no more assets to turn over, your honor," the 50-year-old Trudeau insisted during a 10-minute plea, at times striking a note of desperation. "I'm going to be incarcerated … and I don't know what to do."
Judge Robert Gettleman seemed unimpressed.
"Thank you, Mr. Trudeau," he said flatly. "My order stands."
The judge then directed two marshals to lead Trudeau out of the courtroom and take him to a nearby jail.
Gettleman, like FTC lawyers, balked at Trudeau's insistence that he is penniless — noting that he recently spent hundreds of dollars on cigars and a haircut.
On Tuesday, Gettleman added that he has seen no sign Trudeau was cooperating to verify where he does and doesn't have assets.
"I haven't seen any new information, only resistance," Gettleman said. "This has to end."
The judge said the only way Trudeau would get the message "is to incarcerate him."
Gettleman didn't say how long Trudeau would have to remain behind bars. It will be until at least Thursday, when there's another status hearing scheduled in the case, Gettleman said.
The judge sent Trudeau to jail for one night last month, warning him at the time that he'd be sent back if he wasn't more forthcoming.

Don't know if this belongs in the gossip thread, but it does address Hollywood standards of beauty, a topic that comes up so often here:
'Matilda' Child Star: Film Acting is Not Fun
You may not know her by name, but perhaps that is by design. Nineties child star Mara Wilson has revealed why she quit performing for cameras in a recent blog post: "Here is something no real celebrity will ever tell you: film acting is not very fun." In the post, a seemingly frustrated Wilson discusses her childhood careershe appeared in films such as "Matilda" (1996), "Mrs. Doubtfire" (1993) and "Miracle on 34th Street" (1994)indicating the beauty standard for today's big screen is too contentious for her, and the talent pool is impressive:
I think that there are many much more talented, much more conventionally attractive actresses out there who are taking the roles I would have been offered. To paraphrase the showtune, anything I can do, Anna Kendrick or Ellen Page or Jennifer Lawrence (or any actress from the plethora of actresses waiting to be "discovered") can do better.
Wilson addresses the continued enthusiasm her fans have, many of whom ask her to return to film. She compares her early success to finger painting:
It's flattering, but you haven't finger-painted in years, and it seems like something you did a long, long time ago. You've realized you don't particularly enjoy getting your hands dirty and that there are other outlets for your creative urges. But people are adamant: are you going to finger-paint again? When? Wait, you're not? Why not?... That's what it feels like.
The former child star, now 24, attended New York University and now works as a playwright, according to Us Weekly. And yes, she does still act in theater productions and for voice-over work. But:
...no, you will not ever see me on "Dancing With The Stars." Sorry. How likable is Wilson now?

There's nothing like changing technologyfor help in negotiating the financial hurdles that come with major life changes.
Expectant mothers can choose from hundreds of apps, including BabyBump Pregnancy Pro, which provides information on the entire process, from common pregnancy symptoms to a contraction tracker.
You'll even find a handful of apps to help you prepare for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Davka Corp. offers iBless Torah, a $2 iPhone/iPod Touch app that provides instructions on the Torah and Haftarah blessings.
Mobility is a key driver behind such tools, whether you're buying a home or saving for college.
"The nature of a mobile device is that it's always with you, and people want information anytime and anywhere," says Jennifer Wong, cofounder and chief executive officer of Alt12 Apps, the maker of BabyBump Pregnancy Pro.
While mobile apps in particular are popular tools, there are Web sites and other technology services that can help guide consumers through the financial hurdles that come with some of life's major milestones.
Here's a snapshot of three big subjects.
With the average cost of a wedding sitting at $27,800, according to TheKnot.com, consumers are always looking for ways to keep their budgets under control. A pair of iPhone apps are designed to help.
iWedding Deluxe features manual and automatic budget controls. The app tracks the cost of every item you enter and includes a dudget assistant that places each item in the relevant category.
Bridal Binder includes a tool that compares your estimated budget to your actual spending. You can allocate budgets for individual categories, such as stationery or flowers, and the app will alert you when you go over budget in any category.
Of course, wedding costs also depend on the number of people attending. Streaming video technology allows live remote viewing. Couples can book a small venue and still have a large audience. Guests don't have to travel great distances to attend, making it a good option for couples planning destination weddings.
Marry Me Live offers streaming video services through its network of videographers in 12 metropolitan markets, including New York, Los Angeles, and Austin, TX. The service includes on-demand video for 30 days after the ceremony, unlimited viewers, and a virtual guest book.
"This is a value that people didn't necessarily know about," says Stacy Yamaoka, cofounder of Marry Me Live. "The technology is evolving in a way that makes it more accessible."
Getting divorced is often more expensive and complicated than people imagine. That's why Dallas-based divorce attorney Michelle May O'Neil and divorce accountant Bryan Rice created DivorceApps.com, which offers two related iPhone apps.
The first, Cost & Prep, provides guidance on the cost of a divorce and the documents you'll need to prepare for your case.
"It has a calculator that can help somebody figure out what the hidden costs of getting divorced are, like having two houses and transportation to haul the kids around—all the things somebody might not consider in the total cost of getting a divorce," O'Neil says. "Knowing what documents you need to get together for your lawyer, that can be helpful in saving you a buck or two here and there."
The other app is Estate Divider, which assists with calculating the costs associated with dividing assets.
"They can put in their assets, their debts, and then play with what a decision might look like if you gave the husband this car, the wife that credit card," O'Neil explains. "It generates a spreadsheet that shows what this proposed division might look like. I've recommended Estate Divider to a few people who would have wanted to hire me but couldn't afford my services, and they've indicated that it helped them accomplish the goal and save some money at the same time."
Both apps cost $9.99. O'Neil says she and Rice have a third app in development. "It's going to be a possession calendar to help people who are divorced with children to have an app for possession schedule—changing weekends, and those types of things that everyone has to deal with."
The funeral industry isn't known for its technologically-forward thinking. But that's starting to change. In The Light Urns, an online retailer of caskets and cremation urns, offers the Funeral Advice mobile app for iPhone and Android users.
Along with providing advice, such as appropriate words of sympathy and the steps to take to plan a funeral, the app includes a casket and cremation urn shop.
"The cost of products from our online shop is less than a brick and mortar funeral home," says Tyler Fraser, general manager of In The Light Urns. "Just being able to look at products and get an idea of what kind of prices are out there for urns and caskets compared to what their local funeral home is providing is helpful."
Fraser says Funeral Advice will soon be updated with a video tutorial on how to finance a funeral.
Plan Your Own Funeral
Using technology to plan a funeral will become even more prevalent as baby boomers demand nontraditional send-offs, according to Sue Kruskopf.
In 2008, Kruskopf and Nancy Bush created the site My Wonderful Life to help individuals plan their own funerals.
After setting up a free account, customers fill out a "book," answering questions ranging from how you want your remains to be handled to favorite songs to distribution of possessions. You can choose up to six "angels" to carry out your wishes. The site sends your angels an e-mail with a link to your instructions.
"What really makes it unique is that when your loved one passes away, you click on a link and get a summary of every single thing that person wanted," Kruskopf says. "You know how much of a gift that is for people to not have to guess?"
Kruskopf says My Wonderful Life has about 10,000 registered members. Along with easing the emotional burden, My Wonderful Life can also help with financial matters.
"There's a section where you can let people know where all your stuff is," Kruskopf says. "Letting people know where their important documents and possessions are and who you want them to go to."
Kruskopf says she's hoping to ease even more of the financial burden with future updates to the site.
"A lot of our members want to prepay for their funeral, but they don't want to go through the traditional channels, so we're looking at some options," she says. "If you came down to the fact that the loved ones can print out a summary and then, by the way, it's already paid for, how awesome would that be? Talk about taking a huge burden off of the survivors."

Hybrid OR: Maquet and GE Healthcare announce cooperation in the field of the hybrid OR
Rastatt, April 2015. Maquet and GE Healthcare are announcing they are developing together a new flexible angiography Hybrid OR solution1. The combined system for surgical procedures and catheter-based interventions will consist of the angiography system Discovery IGS 730 (GE) and the Magnus operating table system (Maquet). Both companies will be presenting their integrated solution for the very first time at the Charing Cross International Symposium 2015 to be held between 28th April and 1st May in London.
Versatile solution for efficient use
Besides its high-precision imaging technology, the differentiating feature of the Discovery IGS 730 is its unique mobility. With its laser-guided, mobile gantry, it can be conveniently positioned throughout the OR with high predictability to provide the medical team with full patient access. The Discovery IGS 730 enables to use both left and right customizable parking locations in a single room for an excellent patient access during either left or right access procedures. Its mobile design allows more flexibility in the implantation of ceiling suspended elements such as laminar flow and booms. The Discovery IGS 730 also offers all features of a premium angiography system. It enables high-quality 2D imagery, as well as 3D rotational angiography and multimodality 3D Fusion with outstanding opportunities for minimally invasive therapy.
The Magnus operating table is a full-fledged, versatile OR table that meets all requirements of surgeons and interventional physicians. It has a "floating" function that enables quick and precise movements, during catheter-based interventions. Through the flexibility of different table tops it is possible to expand diagnostic and therapeutic measures for further surgical procedures.
Combination of the gantry mobility of the Discovery IGS 730 and the patient positioning capabilities of the Magnus operating table system should enable use of the OR for multidisciplinary surgical interventions. In addition, thanks to its universal table top, the Hybrid OR can also be used in regular OR programs, thus providing high capacity and utilization rate to the hospital.
"The Maquet table brings additional clinical breadth to the hybrid operating rooms. It should complement GE unique mobile gantry technology that delivers easy-to-use advanced imaging capability and highly flexible siting to fit the needs of virtually any surgery and interventional specialty. This solution should enable hospitals to expand their services to attract more patients and physicians while securing the operating room utilization." says Chantal Le Chat, Global General Manager Interventional, GE Healthcare.
Setting the trend for the Hybrid OR
"Our collaboration with GE Healthcare has produced several synergies for all parties involved", adds Markus Medart, President of Maquet GmbH. "With the successful collaboration in the field of Hybrid ORs in combination with MR, which began back in the year 2000, this joint development is yet a further milestone in the expansion of our position as global market leader for complete solutions for the OR in the international market." The company is able to look back on some 500 integrated systems over the past years. In addition to planning complex projects, the Maquet portfolio for Hybrid ORs encompasses all products from our own development and production units required to realize the project, from the modular wall system VARIOP to surgical lights, ceiling supply units, anesthesia and heart-lung machines up to full OR Integration.
