This long-time gardener needed to have a garden equal in beauty and ease of care. Here is how she turned a standard patio into a cozy garden oasis.
Left: Seasonal color and texture are integral parts of any garden planting, as is appropriate lighting. Small solar lanterns, which are placed among the tall grasses, ensure adequate lighting year round.
Right: Planters placed in clusters along the wall are filled with annuals and scented herbs. Using planters allows Shirley to "rearrange the garden" to suit her, or the plant's, needs.
Gardening and downsizing: two words that are rarely, if ever, used in the same sentence. However, Shirley Gibson has taken the transition from a large splendid home with formal cutting, floral and vegetable gardens, groomed orchards with planned fields filled with native plantings, to a smaller villa style "Visiting Garden." A senior residential community, where homes have limited space for gardens and patios, was where she graciously invited me to interview her.
Succulents in a container look like a mini landscape.
At 94 years of age, Mrs. Gibson is a member of the Garden Club of America, a retired horticultural judge emeritus, and presently is an active member and past president of a local garden club in her town. She still finds the time to work almost daily in her garden. Being socially active as well as having a deep working knowledge of gardening plays a large part in the influence of her choices of plants. Most of her plantings are chosen for their aesthetic qualities. "Sometimes," Mrs. Gibson told me with a twinkle in her very bright blue eye, "I put them in just because I like them."
In light of Shirley's busy lifestyle, she desired a garden equal in beauty and ease of care. Tucked away in a senior living development, Mrs. Gibson took her rather standard patio and made it into a small and cozy garden oasis, which is equally inspiring and inviting. Achieving this level of garden quality may seem as though it might take a great deal of planning; however, anyone with basic plant interest and knowledge could achieve a similarly styled successful garden.
Left: Growing against a warm western-facing brick wall, Mrs. Gibson's 'Roma' and cherry tomatoes produce in abundance and safety away from ground pests and foraging animals.
Right: Nasturtium and parsley spill from this raised planter.
She decided that having a raised-bed garden would reduce her hours of bending over while working in her garden. She also uses planters for smaller plants, such as herbs, which could be moved around throughout the season to the best parts of the garden where growth production would be at its peak. The final result was a smaller container garden where planters burst with fragrant herbs and heirloom tomatoes filled with freshness and flavor. Plants tumble over each other in a waterfall of color over the raised-bed edges while pole beans twine upward toward the clear deep blue sky. Chard grows in deep, lush mounds scattered about the garden. All of this is within arm's reach and all of it is grown with little daily care and maintenance.
Shirley was quick to remind me that gardening should be pleasurable and relaxing as well as a reflection of who you are.
Left: Japanese anemone (Anemone hupehensis) is an easy-care perennial with personality.
Right: Established pink Knock Out roses planted at the bases of white pine trees provide a dense privacy screen as well as weather and wind protection for the garden. Wave petunias and sweet potato vine set in large planters, with their brilliant contrasting leaves, bring the visitor's eyes up towards the modern art sculpture.

I'm getting kicked in the nuts on this job and I really just want this crap to work so any help would be surely appreciated. Here's what I have:
Two jaces and port forwarding set-up in a Verizon issued D-link 2750B gateway.
I have port forwarding set-up for one jace at 192.168.1.101 and I've opened ports 80 and 1911
the other Jace is 192.168.1.124 and is using ports 81 and 1912
Everything works great as long as I'm connected wirelessly to the gateway and I'm typing the static IP of the gateway and the port
I want to connect to into my browser. The problem occurs when I try to connect when I'm connected away from the gateway, from home for example. The correct link comes up in the address bar but the webpage never loads. Verizon has been no help at all so any suggestions you guys might have would help.

Marketing Buzz 10/02
This story appears in the October 2002 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Stars of PR
PR is the hottest way to get buzz about a new business. So say Al and Laura Ries in their new book, The Fall of Advertising & The Rise of PR (HarperInformation). Media stories imply credibility. "Over the years, we've noted that many brands really got started with PR," says Al. Remember these big-guy tactics:
- Starbucks: Founder Howard Schultz pitched the fact that the European-style coffee bar was new in the States and that it attracted a hip, urban clientele. Says Al, "Being the first in a new category generates publicity."
- Red Bull: First launched in Austria in 1987, the product's buzz started in Germany when the energy drink was banned because of concerns about some ingredients. That, of course, made German teenagers want it even more. The word-of-mouth came to the United States with a vengeance-and Red Bull is now the market leader.
- Amazon.com: Founder Jeff Bezos spoke everywhere about his fresh concept: an online bookseller. The media bit, and Bezos and Amazon.com enjoyed plenty of press coverage.
The key to each of these success stories? Each business focused on what was newsworthy-something any company can do.
Student Teachers
You don't have time to keep up with all the latest business knowledge, but MBA students sure do. And over at Emory University's Goizueta Business School in Atlanta, businesses that participate in the annual Marketing Strategy Competition can get the up-to-date advice they need-directly from students.
Anisa Telwar Hunt's Atlanta product design company, Anisa International Inc., benefited greatly from the program. After spending time with Telwar Hunt sharing the ins and outs of her business, financials and distribution, the five-member student team put together a marketing plan in 2001. They recommended that she increase her relationships with vendors, expand her distribution and be more innovative with the line of makeup application tools she manufactures. "It re-energized me," says Telwar Hunt, 36. Having already started building relationships, she hopes to attack the innovation suggestions soon. "I learned so much," continues Telwar Hunt, whose sales topped $8 million in 2001.
Find out how to submit a proposal to be part of next year's competition at www.bus.emory.edu/gmsc. If your company doesn't make the lucky 12 or if you can't afford the $15,000 fee to participate ($5,000 for nonprofits), check out your local community colleges and universities for similar programs. Contact marketing or even public relations professors and offer your company as a case study for the classroom-you just might get some innovative marketing ideas.

9:30 am – 5 pm 7 days a week
Older kids, pre-teens and adults can make their way through an enchanting forest filled with overgrown flowers, huge mushrooms and whimsical fairies – suddenly, everything takes a turn and gets darker! Journey through the ominous forest and get face-to-face with frightening forest trolls and menacing trees that have come to life.
This October, guests will have the chance to meet Medusa, The Serpent-headed Gorgon Queen, as she steps out of the pages of mythology and lurks in the darkest shadows of the Zoo. It is believed that those who look her in the eyes are so overwhelmed with fear they turn to stone. Guests must heed the warnings or become a permanent member of her chilling garden of statues! Despite Medusa's scary appearance, snakes like those replacing her curly locks are critical to local ecosystems. Earlier this year ZooTampa provided a much-needed boost to the wild population of Eastern indigo snakes. The Zoo hopes that Medusa will not only spook guests but also remind them of the importance of these snakes and how the Zoo is committed to protecting them.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (adapted from the Springfield College press release) - The Brandeis baseball team withstood a furious ninth-inning rally on Monday, hanging on for an 8-7 win against Springfield College on Monday afternoon.
The Pride trailed by five runs heading into the bottom of the ninth, but scored four times on three hits to come within a run. Brandeis improves to 12-14 with the win, while Springfield falls to 12-11 with the loss.
Brandeis was led by junior 1b Kyle Brenner (Brookfield, Mass./St. Peter-Marian), who went 3-for-5 with two runs batted in. Sophomore 3b Greg Heineman (Wilbraham, Mass./Minnechaug Regional) picked up three RBI's while classmate Connor Doyle (Avon, Conn./Avon Old Farms) tacked on two hits for the Judges.
Springfield was led by Billy Peterson (Wareham, Mass.), Jared Hopkins (Cranston, R.I.) and Corey Wilcox (Montville, Conn.) each with two hits. Steve Starr (Lebanon, Conn.) and Brent Poulin (Atascadero, Calif.) each drove in two runs.
The teams combined for no runs on four hits through the first four frames, as Brandeis junior Elio Fernandez (Bronx, N.Y./Fordham Prep) and Springfield's Alex Williams (East Hartford, Conn.) were both dealing early.
Brandeis got on the board in the top of the fifth, jumping out to a four run advantage. Sophomore centerfielder Sam Miller (Sudbury, Mass./Lincoln-Sudbury) took a lead-off walk to start the inning and junior Brian Allen (Salem, N.H./Central Catholic) and senior Brian Ing (Sandwich, Mass./Sandwich) followed it up with back-to-back singles to load the bases with no outs in the inning. Doyle drove in the game's first run on an opposite field single, scoring Miller. Junior DH Tom McCarthy (Yonkers, N.Y./Fieldston School) made it a two-run game, reaching on an error that scored Allen. Brenner and Heineman both grounded into RBI fielder's choices, giving the Judges a 4-0 lead.
Springfield got on the board in the bottom of the sixth inning to make it a 4-1 game. The Pride tacked on two more in the seventh. With one out, Adam Zandri (Ridgefield, Conn.) had a pinch hit single to left field and scored on a double by Hopkins for a 4-2 game. The Pride came within one run one a sacrifice fly by Starr to deep right field, scoring Wilcox to make it a 4-3 game.
Brandeis put up an insurance run in the top of the eighth, as Heineman reached on an error and later scored on a single by rookie right fielder Ryan Tettemer (Westfield, Mass./Suffield Acad.) to give the Judges a 5-3 lead.
The Judges built up a five-run lead with three more runs in the ninth. Heineman drove in two on a double to left and Brenner brought home Heineman on a single to center to take an 8-3 lead.
Springfield made it interesting in the bottom of the ninth, nearly erasing the five-run deficit. The Pride loaded the bases on two-straight hit batters and a single by Wilcox. With one out in the inning, Starr beat out a grounder to third base, scoring Dan Bergami (Schenectady, N.Y). Poulin drove in Wilcox and Keith Cotnoir (Westhampton, Mass.) on a double to the gap in left center and the Pride made it a one-run game on a ground ball out by Frank Calabrese (East Longmeadow, Mass.). Brenner, pitching in relief, got out of the jam one a grounder to second base to escape with the win.
Fernandez earned the win, going 6.1 innings, giving up seven hits, three runs, all earned. It was the second-straight strong start for the junior, who allowed three runs in 8.1 innings against UMass-Dartmouth last week. Williams took the loss for Springfield (1-2) going six innings, allowing six hits, four runs, three earned with two strikeouts.

- Unsuitable for use on coated wallpaper overlaps eg vinyl
- Although Aquadhere is reasonably water resistant, it is not recommended for use in water or weather exposed situations or for any job where maximum water resistance is required (for weather exposed and/or wet areas we recommend Aquadhere exterior or Aquadhere Durabond).
- Will not take common timber stains
- Aquadhere is not recommended for joints that are subjected to constant high stress. Instead, use Selleys 308 High Stress wood glue.
- Do not use on projects that you need to be able to sand, as Aquadhere Interior is not sandable.
- Will not bond MDF, we recommend using Aquadhere Exterior
What materials is this product suitable for?
- End grain gluing
- Craftwork
- Cloth
- Paper
- Mosaics
- Leather
- Other craft materials
How to use this product
- Surfaces to be bonded must be close fitting, free from dust, dry and clean from grease.
- Shake bottle before use
- Apply adhesive liberally to one surface only, position surfaces and press together while still wet. Immediately clamp for 30 minutes for softwoods and 1 hour for hardwoods. Alternatively, low clamping pressures (50lbs/in2) can be used with softwoods; higher pressures are recommended for hardwoods (100 – 150lbs/in2). Do not stress joint for 12 hours.
- Wipe off excess adhesive while still wet with a damp cloth. If the wood is to be stained, any residual Aquadhere left on the timber surface may prevent the stain from taking to the wood.
- Maximum strength is achieved after 12 hours, but longer in cold, damp conditions, or when used on dense timbers.
- Cure slows significantly in humid, cold conditions.
- Clean all tools with water before adhesive is allowed to dry. If dry, soak in water until adhesive is soft.
Handy tips
- 1L covers approx. 8m2
- To fill small gaps, Aquadhere can be mixed with sawdust.
- Longer clamping times may be required for joints under high stress, or alternatively use Selleys 308 High Stress Wood Glue.
- Avoid contaminating Aquadhere with iron and steel, eg nails, etc. Aquadhere contaminated with rust (iron oxide) will stain brown/black in the presence of tannins in many woods.
- On very porous surfaces applying a thin layer to each side and allowing to soaking in before applying a second layer to one side only may result in a stronger bond
- Cured adhesive can be resoftened by prolonged contact with hot water or steam.
- Sanding isn't an effective way to prepare for gluing, as it often leaves an uneven surface and may clog the timber which can stop the glue from penetrating and impact on your result. A straight router can be used to trim the edge, but be sure to only remove as much as required to obtain a suitable edge for gluing.
- If you are gluing over a larger surface, try using a small roller to aid in application.
- For cleaning surfaces prior to application of adhesive, if the surface is porous, we would recommend using SELLEYS Liquid Sugar Soap. If the surface is non-porous eg glass or metal, firstly clean the surface with mineral turpentine and then again with methylated spirits. If there is old, difficult to remove residue such as old paint, we recommend using paint stripper such as SELLEYS Kwik Strip Smart. Ensure the surface is dry before applying the product.
- Keep a canister of SELLEYS Sugar Soap Wipes nearby for a quick and effective cleanup.
Safety tips
- Aquadhere is considered a non-hazardous material.
- In case of eye contact, hold eye open and flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes.
Storage and re-use
- For maximum shelf life store inside at moderate temperatures. Do not allow to freeze.

Maven: Lets Build A Time Machine For Mars
The high-ceiling room resembles a brightly lit, white-walled operating theatre, and the people inside are dressed for surgery. It is impossible to tell if they are men or women – or even human – they are so enveloped in white smocks, masks, boots, and gloves; their heads covered in hoods, even their eyes obscured by glasses.
They work as precisely as if they were performing an operation. But they are not operating on a patient, they are operating on a spacecraft. A cuboid mass of shiny silver-colored metal, 2-meters (6.5-feet) high and covered with delicate instruments and antennae. As I watch, these engineers busy themselves attaching this unique machine to its life-supporting solar arrays.
I am witnessing the final stage of assembly of Maven at the Lockheed Martin Space Systems facility in Denver, Colorado. Shortly to be shipped off for launch, due later this year, this Nasa mission is designed to answer fundamental questions about the Martian atmosphere. And the outfits worn by the engineers in this spacecraft factory will ensure that no cells, bacteria or chemicals from Earth contaminate the destination planet.
Maven (pronounced May-ven) is a somewhat tortured acronym for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN. Evidence from the Curiosity rover, along with other recent missions, has led scientists to deduce that Mars once had the conditions suitable for life, including liquid water. As Curiosity continues to trundle its way slowly across Gale Crater, Maven will orbit the planet to examine whether the atmosphere could also have provided life support.
"What we know from our missions looking at the surface of Mars is that there used to be water there," says Guy Beutelschies, Maven Programme Manager at Lockheed Martin. "We can see the outlines of ancient rivers, the shorelines of ancient oceans. But water can't exist there now – the atmosphere is too thin and too dry, any water would just evaporate or freeze." So the big question is what happened to Mars' atmosphere? "It used to be thicker, warmer, wetter, now it's thin and dry," says Beutelschies, before adding: "how did we get there?"
A letter published last week in the journal Nature adds weight to the argument that Mars once had an oxygen-rich atmosphere, though other scientists remain skeptical. Today, that atmosphere is equivalent to just one-hundredth the thickness of Earth's. Made up mostly of carbon dioxide, with a tiny fraction of water vapor, this fragile, thin band around the red planet is now unlikely to support any sort of life, as far as we know. But the atmosphere in the past must have been more substantial to allow the formation of rivers, lakes, and oceans. Scientists working on the Maven mission want to understand what this atmosphere was like, in as much detail as possible, and the processes that led to its destruction.
Short of being able to travel back in time into the Martian past, how do you go about tackling these questions with a mission today?
"In a sense, we are building a little bit of a time machine," says Beutelschies. "What we're doing is understanding the processes." And with that information, they can work backward to track how the atmosphere has changed and built a computer model, or simulation, of what it used to be like.
Top-down viewToday, what little remains of Mars' atmosphere is being stripped away by the solar wind – the stream of charged particles continuously spewed out by the Sun. The Earth is protected from the solar wind by a magnetic bubble surrounding our planet, known as the magnetosphere. This is generated by the Earth's magnetic field, which effectively turns our planet into a giant bar magnet. Mars does not have a field or, at least, it doesn't have one anymore.
"We think that Mars used to have a magnetic field," explains Bruce Jakosky, the Principal Investigator for Maven, who is based at the University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics in Boulder. "We see places on the surface that retain some remnant magnetism, they were imprinted when they formed with whatever magnetism was there. We think that some four billion years ago when the magnetic field turned off, that turn-off of the magnetic field allowed turn-on of the stripping by the solar wind."
To investigate the processes taking place today, Maven will dip into the tenuous Martian upper atmosphere with each orbit, measuring the particles, sampling gases, monitoring the magnetic field and solar wind. "Rover missions for the past fifteen years have focused on habitability and the history of habitability," says Jakosky. "We're trying to get the other half of the problem, what role the top of the atmosphere has played.
The rovers get the bottom of the atmosphere, we get the top of the atmosphere and how it interacts with the Sun." Both are needed to put together a picture of what's controlling the Mars environment. Results from the Curiosity rover published in Science last week, for instance, supports the evidence that Mars may have lost most of its atmosphere billions of years ago.
As well as filling in the blanks about Mars' depleted atmosphere, Maven will also provide clues to the habitability of other planets, beyond the solar system.
In trying to understand the distribution of life throughout the Universe, this is a really important indicator," says Jakosky. "Understanding the environmental conditions that allow [life] to exist, or don't allow it to exist, is key to being able to extrapolate elsewhere.
Right now, Mars is being studied in unprecedented detail – from spacecraft in orbit and by rovers on the ground. Maven will provide another part of the jigsaw as we build up an understanding of a planet that, it is now becoming clear, used to be remarkably like our own.
"Imagine that!" exclaims Beutelschies. "We had a solar system with two planets with oceans on them! That certainly raises the question in many people's minds about whether Mars could have had a life sometime in the past."
For Mars it, somehow, all went horribly wrong. We should just count ourselves lucky we evolved on Earth instead.

Subtle moving graphic/compatibility with all common devices
I saw that other websites or emails have moving images and graphics. Would it be possible for future wedding websites to have moving images compatible from any smartphone or laptop? (i.e a plane flying across the page for a destination website when you first enter the site, simple twinkles for some the New Years weddings. It doesn't have to be cheesy, just subtle and VERY simple. Not so flashy it gives people a headache or distracting. There are so many wonderful ideas and possibilities. When guests open up the website, it's something unique that they may not have seen with other wedding sites. Maybe they can have the option to keep their existing site or the same design but with moving graphics.
Hi and thank you so much for your idea!
We will definitely take this into consideration. We're always trying to improve the Wedding Website experience for couples so we welcome all of your great ideas.
We will keep this forum updated as we make improvements!
Enjoy your planning!

|Stuart D. Bale
B. A. Physics and Mathematics, 1989; Ph. D. Physics, 1994. Bale is a Professor of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley. Bale's area of research is experimental astrophysics.
Tell us about your personal life.
I am married, and we have a son. We live in San Francisco. I am very oversubscribed and my days are messy, but it's mostly a fulfilling life. My wife Isabelle works in the wine business in the Napa valley. Our boy Hugo attends a preschool at the university. The Bay Area is a charming place to live, however, I do miss the sunshine and the
winters in Minnesota.
Tell us about your professional life.
I am a Professor of Physics and Director of the Space Sciences Laboratory (SSL) at the University of California, Berkeley. My research interests are experimental space physics and plasma astrophysics. I am making measurements of the fundamental plasma physics processes that are important to astrophysics, i.e. collisionless shocks, plasma turbulence, magnetic reconnection, plasma radio emission, etc. We make measurements in situ with satellite-borne instruments. After my Ph.D., I went to Queen Mary and Westfield College (QMW) in London for a postdoctoral appointment.
My intention was to work on data from ESA's 'Cluster' four spacecraft mission with the QMW guys; however, the Cluster launch failed and the satellites went into the ocean. So I continued my collaboration with my Minnesota colleagues (Paul Kellogg and Keith Goetz) working on measurements from the NASA Wind satellite.
In 1997, I moved to Berkeley, first as an Assistant Research Physicist and then joining the physics faculty in 2004. In 2008, I took over as Director of SSL. Berkeley is a great place to work. It is an exhilarating intellectual environment and my interactions with colleagues are enjoyable. I have continued my collaborations with my Minnesota colleagues. We built an instrument for the NASA STEREO mission and were recently selected by NASA to build an experiment together for the Solar Probe Plus mission.
Tell us your favorite memory from your time in the School of Physics and Astronomy.
I have two memories that stand out: As an undergraduate in the Methods of Experimental Physics course (taught by Mike Shupe and Bill Zimmerman), my lab partner Jason Hinze (B.S., Physics, 1992) and I built a little one-shot nitrogen laser and we actually made it function. The laser was hand built from a piece of PC board, a little plastic box with a half-silvered mirror, and an enormous rackmounted
high voltage power supply. We set up a (~10 kV) discharge across some copper strips in the box of nitrogen and it lased! It had a time constant of about one second which caused computer monitors to flicker across the lab. I think we made a measurement of the beam width too.
The second memory is of our scientific expedition to South Africa in 1994 to view the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet impact with Jupiter. Paul Kellogg thought the comet fragments might generate decametric/decimetric (~10-100 MHz) radio emission as they plowed through the Jovian magnetosphere. Paul, Keith Goetz, Steve Monson and I set up shop for about six weeks at the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory. We built up a set of huge, steerable log periodic antennas and moved them by hand each night, tracking Jupiter as it passed over. We have lots of funny stories to tell about this trip: walking on hot coals during a 'braai' on the 4th of July; monkeys throwing rocks at our car as we drove into the valley; and shopping at the local 'muti' shops. Our equipment worked fine, we could see the Io-modulated emission and solar radio bursts, but no primary signatures of Shoemaker-Levy 9. A negative result is still a result.
Tell us about your favorite professor(s) and favorite courses
My favorite professors were Serge Rudaz, Bob Lysak, Ben Bayman, and Bill Zimmerman. These guys were models of clarity and insight and the best teachers that I have had. Bob Lysak's graduate plasma physics course still forms the backbone of my knowledge of plasma physics. Serge's course on relativistic quantum mechanics was elegant and inspiring. I left the third quarter of the quantum field theory sequence with an incomplete – a big scattering matrix calculation that was too forbidding to finish at the time. When it was time to graduate, I tapped on Serge's door, showed him my stack of calculations, and asked him for leniency. He asked me about my post-Ph.D. plans, I told him (a postdoc position working on space data), and he said "You're not going to do quantum field theory
professionally." I said "No." He asked "You're not ever going to tell anyone that I taught you how to do quantum field theory?" "No," I said. So he gave me a passing grade. Thanks Serge.
What advice do you have for current students and recent alumni.
A career in science and teaching is richly rewarding and worth every second that you spend pursuing it. It is important to make a rapid transition from solving 'known' problems to developing your own taste. My advice to a young scientist would be to find a topic that was formerly 'hot,' but has gone cool for lack of new measurements or
techniques, then really scratch your head and figure out how to take the next step. Avoid the bandwagon.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Gold Resource(GORO) - Get Report was gaining 34.7% to $4.74 Tuesday after beating analysts' expectations for earnings and revenue for the first quarter.
For the first quarter Gold Resource reported earnings of 13 cents a share, beating the Capital IQ Consensus Estimate of 5 cents a share by 8 cents. Revenue fell -26.4% from the year-ago quarter to $31.15 million. Analysts expected revenue of $28.8 million for the quarter.
"During the first quarter, the Company delivered strong operating results with production increasing 15% over the prior quarter," Gold Resource CEO and President Mr. Jason Reid said in a press release. "Equally important, we substantially drove down our total cash costs by 38% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. In addition, we continued to distribute our monthly dividend and increased our treasury by $4.5 million over the prior quarter. With a strong first quarter, the Company is on track to meet its annual production outlook goal."

TheStreet Ratings team rates GOLD RESOURCE CORP as a Sell with a ratings score of D+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate GOLD RESOURCE CORP (GORO) a SELL. This is driven by several weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow, generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself and feeble growth in its earnings per share."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Metals & Mining industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 144.7% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $9.17 million to -$4.10 million.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Metals & Mining industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, GOLD RESOURCE CORP underperformed against that of the industry average and is significantly less than that of the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to $3.21 million or 73.34% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.
- Despite any intermediate fluctuations, we have only bad news to report on this stock's performance over the last year: it has tumbled by 64.06%, worse than the S&P 500's performance. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 147.05% compared to the year-earlier quarter. Turning toward the future, the fact that the stock has come down in price over the past year should not necessarily be interpreted as a negative; it could be one of the factors that may help make the stock attractive down the road. Right now, however, we believe that it is too soon to buy.
- GOLD RESOURCE CORP has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past two years. However, the consensus estimate suggests that this trend should reverse in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, GOLD RESOURCE CORP swung to a loss, reporting -$0.01 versus $0.60 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.35 versus -$0.01).

'Angels' are heaven-sent
To say that Denver Health is grateful is an understatement. In fact, administrators are so grateful for the support that nine of the city's highest-profile women have given to its Newborns in Need program that they have taken to calling Janet Elway, Frances Owens, Susan Kiely, Debra Pain, Sharon Magness Blake, Pam Crowe, Katie Trexler, Peggy Shanahan and Kelly Ford "angels" and paid tribute to each of them at the hospital's annual gala.
"An Evening with Angels" was the theme for the dinner-dance held at the Adam's Mark Hotel. Each angel has hosted one or more baby showers for Newborns in Need, a program that provides diapers, clothing, toys and other essentials for the babies born to families that cannot afford them.
Items collected at the showers are given to the families that often have to choose between paying the rent or buying food, let alone be able to purchase new items for their babies. Approximately 4,000 babies are born each year at Denver Health and a signficant percentage of their families live in extreme poverty.
Dr. Patricia Gabow, Denver Health's chief executive, emphasized her appreciation for the work done by the Angels by pointing out that each of them have full lives of their own.
Janet Elway, for example, is the founder of Janet's Camp, which sends inner-city children to YMCA summer camp; she also lends support to the Community College of Aurora Foundation scholarship program and Developmental Pathways. Frances Owens, Colorado's former first lady, is chairing the 2007 Western Fantasy for Volunteers of America and also supports Developmental Pathways.
The Rev. Susan Kiely ministers to low-income seniors while Peggy Shanahan and her husband, Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan, were honored last week for their support of Beacon Center, a residential treatment program for abused and neglected teens.
Katie Trexler and Kelly Ford are local media personalities; Debra Pain oversees the University of Phoenix campuses in Colorado; Pam Crowe, whose husband heads Level 3, is known for her generosity in letting nonprofit organizations use her home for fund-raising events. Sharon Magness Blake is the cofounder of Western Fantasy and supports numerous local causes through her Thunder Foundation.
Pictures from the Denver Health Gala are posted at denverpost.com/SeenGallery.

Phone Interviews
The telephone interview is another tool that many employers may utilize in their candidate selection process. In most cases a telephone interview will be part of the screening process that will occur early in the employers search. Telephone interviews may be used if an employer has a large pool of applicants and needs to narrow down the field or used to screen applicants that may be out of the employers' geographic area. If the position requires a significant amount of telephone work, the employer may use this opportunity to analyze your professionalism over the phone.
You as an applicant may see advantages to the telephone interview; convenience, you don't have to get into your interview attire, no travel, and the interview is probably going to be conducted in an environment in which you are comfortable. The disadvantage is that you will not have the personal face to face contact with the interviewer, which puts more responsibility on you to communicate verbally in a positive and strong tone. Your voice inflections will be what the employer will be using to judge your interest and motivation for the position. Keeping these things in mind, here are a few suggestions to assist you in preparing for a telephone interview:
- Have items such as your resume, job description, and company literature within easy reach.
Review all of them prior to the call. Have a set of prepared questions you want to have answered about the position.
- Know the details of the call: do you initiate or will the employer? What time will the call take place,? Are you dealing with different time zones? If there are any questions about the timing of the call make sure you get clarification ahead of time.
- Provide a telephone number that will afford you a degree of privacy for the conversation.
If available use a land line phone rather than a cell or cordless phone to eliminate any potential low or dead battery problems. If you have call waiting, disable it.
- Write down the name(s) of the individuals you will be speaking with and address your questions to them by name. You will also want this information to send follow-up thank you notes. Be sure to get correct spelling of names and titles.
- Speak in a confident, positive, and clear tone. If you feel yourself starting to talk too fast, take a breath and slow down.
- Your interview will start the second you answer the phone so do so in a professional manner.
- Determine what the next step in the search process will be, if this is not provided by the employer ask before you terminate the call. Have your calendar handy in the event the employer wants you to come in personally for a second interview.
Remember, you will probably not get a job offer as a result of a telephone interview but you may be eliminated as a candidate. Treat the phone interview as seriously as you would if you were sitting directly across from the employer in their office. Follow up with a thank you note to the interviewer(s).

A credit score carries a ton of weight when applying for a home loan, and while VantageScore, a company created by credit bureaus Experian, TransUnion and Equifax, is modifying the way credit scores will be calculated, mortgage applications will still require a FICO rating when applying for a loan.
FICO, named after the Fair Isaacs Corporation, which created the software to calculate credit scores, is still required to determine home loan eligibility because of government-owned mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because of their influence on the market.
However, when applying for other forms of credit, take note that substantial changes are underway. A few changes include:

What's the problem?
The Federal Government is pushing forward with a plan to force Internet Service Providers to censor the Internet for all Australians. This plan will waste millions of dollars and won't make anyone safer.
It won't protect children: The filter isn't a "cyber safety" measure to stop kids seeing inappropriate content such as R and X rated websites. It is not even designed to prevent the spread of illegal material where it is most often found (chat rooms, peer-to-peer file sharing).
We will all pay for this ineffective solution: Under this policy, ISPs will be forced to charge more for consumer and business broadband. Several hundred thousand dollars has already been spent to test the filter – without considering high-speed services such as the National Broadband Network!
A dangerous precedent: We stand to join a small club of countries which impose centralised Internet censorship such as China, Iran and Saudi Arabia. The secret blacklist may be limited to "Refused Classification" content for now, but what might a future Australian Government choose to block?
Help turn the lights out on the proposed Internet filter by joining the Great Australian Internet Blackout.
Join us and take action!
The Great Australian Internet Blackout is a combined online and offline demonstration against imposed online censorship. We're collaborating with Electronic Frontiers Australia to make sure every Australian knows why this draconian policy is unacceptable.

There are actually over twenty beaches to choose from in LA County, and they all offer something a little different from each other. \r\nOne of the best Los Angeles beaches for surfing is Zuma Beach just north of Malibu. This popular surf spot is known for its tasty waves and clear waters. Another surfer beach is Manhattan Beach. This is also the reputed birthplace of beach volleyball, and a great place to go on long, shoreline walks. \r\n\r\n\r\nLA Beaches for Families, Nature, and Folks - \r\nHeading to the beach with the kids? Redondo Beach is a good Los Angeles beach for families with lots of outdoor activities from building a sand castle to biking or skating on the paved pathways. For a beachside carnival atmosphere, head to Santa Monica Beach, home to Pacific Park amusement park on Santa Monica Pier. \r\nIf you want to check out tide pools, head to Malibu Lagoon State Beach. Abalone Cove is also full of neat sea creature encounters. Venice Beach is the place to be for people watching along the palm tree lined boardwalk. It has a well-deserved reputation for attracting free spirits, and it's also home to shopping and dining.

OK for my next DB2 trick and remaining off the path of the righteous for the time being we will look at creating a DB2 database. I assume that you have the DB2 RDBMS software installed, you can get a free 'community' copy of the express edition, follow this link for the download. Being a SQL DBA with an MSDN subscription I installed DB2 on Windows Server R2 2003 running on VM Workstation. It can also run on a variety of *nix OS too.
As with SQL Server there are many ways to create a database in DB2. In this example I am going to use the wizard, I'm new to this so I'll go with the simple approach. Assuming you have all the components installed, as I do, you need to fire up Control Manager.
Note: There are differences in the physical architecture of database files when comparing DB2 to SQL Server. As my understanding improves I may write a little about that topic but for now we'll focus on using wizard and creating a database.
Before we start let me give you a bit of background on this server I setup, I'm not yet all the knowledgeable on ideal performance layout for DB2 and as this was setup for me to learn a bit more about DB2 so I configured my server with a C:\ drive which houses the OS and the DB2 software and an E:\ drive which I intended to use for the data.
We'll now create a database using the wizard in Control Manager. So how do I open Control Manager, here's how I do it on my Windows Box:
- <Start>
- <All Programs>
- <General Administration Tools>
- <Control Centre>
When Control Manager opens you are asked prompted by the Control Center View box to specify the view that you want. "Advanced" was selected by default so I went with that and clicked OK. My DB2 instance and the databases installed as part of the install were already registered. These are Sample and Schedule:
To create a database:
- Right Click <All Databases>
- Select <Create Database>
- Select <Standard>
This starts up the Create Database Wizard:
Enter a name for your database in my case I called it GETEST and I set the default path for the database to be the e:\ drive and a folder called data.
I took all other default settings, Let DB2 manage my storage (automatic storage). I left the default bufferpool and table space page size at 4K:
I made no changes on the storage tab, because I specified a default path and let DB2 manage my storage on the name tab I have no changes to make here. Click <Next>
For simplicity I make no changes on the Region tab and I take the default settings. Click <Next>
on the summary tab it give you a "Show Command" button which gives you the underlying code that will execute
So there we go as you can see that the syntax is very similar to its TSQL equivalent.
Click on <Finish>
This should cause DB2 to go away and create you a nice new database.
except in my case it doesn't create a database. I get the following error:
"SQL1052N The database path "E:\DATA" does not exist.
Explanation :
The path specified in the "<path>" parameter of the command is not
valid. Either there is no path with that name, or a path has been
specified when the DB2_CREATE_DB_ON_PATH registry variable is disabled
(Windows only).
Well I the path is there so it must be the later in the explanation " a path has been specified when the DB2_CREATE_DB_ON_PATH registry variable is disabled (Windows only)"
Well it is windows, so I guess this is viable.
So how do I enable this registry variable. It is very simple.
Open a command prompt on the server and run the following:
db2set DB2_CREATE_DB_ON_PATH=YES
You won't get any message confirming it has been set or any errors telling you it hasn't worked, when I run it i just got another command prompt.
You then need to restart the DB2 Service, mine is listed in the services as:
Restart that service.
and re-run the wizard and you should get yourself a brand new DB2 database.

Women and Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries
Skip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Women have more anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries than men: women athletes injure their ACLs up to 8 times as often as men athletes. footnote 1 Experts have identified three areas where differences between men and women may affect the risk of ACL injuries.
- Body differences. Compared to men, women have a wider pelvis, a smaller ACL, a narrower area containing the ACL (femoral notch), and a greater degree of the knees pointing inward (genu valgum or knock-knee). These differences increase the risk of an ACL injury, especially when landing from a jump.
- Muscular differences. Compared to men, women have less muscular strength, use the muscles in the front of the thighs (quadriceps) more for stability, and take a longer time to develop muscular force at a given moment. These factors result in greater stress being placed on the ACL.
- Laxity and range of motion. Compared to men, women have a greater range of motion and "looser" knees (knee laxity), hip rotation, and knee hyperextension (how far the knee can be stretched or straightened). The increased hyperextension results in a backward curve of the knee when the leg is straight. This makes it more difficult for the muscles in the back of the thigh (hamstrings) to protect the ACL. Looser knees may also make an ACL injury more likely.
Some studies suggest that the differences in ligament laxity may be due to changing hormone levels. These studies have shown that there is change in ligament laxity during the menstrual cycle and that women are at greater risk for an ACL injury during the ovulatory phase of their cycle than at other times. Other studies have not found a relationship between the menstrual cycle and laxity in the ACL. footnote 2 How hormones affect the ACL is not known.
Training and rehabilitation
Training and rehabilitation programs for women may take the above factors into account. A program may include exercises to:
- Control inward movement of the knee.
- Emphasize using the hamstrings to stabilize the knee.
- Emphasize speed and reaction time of the quadriceps.
- Control hip and trunk movement and train the hip muscles to help stabilize the knee.
- Control knee extension.
- Increase muscular endurance.

A legal aid lawyer is a lawyer who will provide specific services on behalf of a client at no cost. The government will pay all or part of your legal costs when you are unable to afford paying for those costs yourself. To be eligible to hire such kind of lawyer service, you need to provide proof of your inability to pay. The services they can provide to a client include helping a client with legal documents, providing legal advice and assistance to the client, and actually representing the client in court.
A lawyer that provides legal aid usually does not get paid as much as a lawyer who practices at a private law firm. The Legal Services Commission (LSC) directly provides the money needed to help eligible clients. The money is funded by the treasury and the Ministry of Justice oversees the work of the LSC.
Even the Best Criminal Lawyer for Legal Aid in Surrey and elsewhere must have a contract with the LSC to be able to provide help to clients. As a result, those lawyers who provide such services do not get paid directly by their clients as lawyers employed by commercial law firms do, but rather by the LSC through the ministry.
This service in England was established by the legal agenda and Advice Act 1949. Such kind of lawyers are available to about 29% of adults. Their services can be accessed for many different types of legal cases, including many types of criminal cases and many types of civil cases including family cases.
Before 2004, legal aid lawyers were not allowed to represent defendants in defamation cases, as was the case in the McDonald's Corp. vs. Steel (a.k.a. McLibel) case. The European Court of Human Rights determined in July 2004 that the defendants in that case were not allowed a fair trial due to the lack of legal aid lawyers, and as a result, from then on, lawyers providing such kind of services are allowed to work on the behalf of defendants in defamation lawsuits, provided that the defendants could show that they did not have the financial means to hire their own legal counsel.
Therefore, if your rights are being violated and you don't have the money to hire your own legal counsel, you may be eligible to have a legal aid lawyer to help you take your case to court and win to protect your rights.
