Regardless of the industry you compete in, there are a variety of benefits of using courier services rather than having your own in-house delivery personnel.
With American Expediting, you can not only reduce overall costs – but increase your overall efficiency. When it comes to same day delivery needs – American Expediting is simply the solution.
Having your own in-house delivery system may seem like the best option; however, it comes with increased costs. Firstly, you have the added cost of paying your in-house drivers for deliveries. This adds up as the amount of your shipments increases and you are forced to add more drivers to cover your needs. You also have to purchase vehicles. This comes with a list of added costs entirely on their own, and compensation for employees needed to run the delivery process smoothly. In addition to this, firms also have to worry about operational inefficiencies. If too much time is spent on the delivery process of your business, less attention is paid to the parts that really matter.
For medical professionals, worrying about which driver is delivering a specimen, if the cars are ready, and if it will be done correctly and on time, takes their focus away from the patient they are treating. With a trusted courier handling all of your shipment needs, you focus on the parts of your supply chain that you're good at – and perfect those to set you apart from your competition.
By integrating American Expediting into your supply chain to handle all deliveries, you not only eliminate all the monetary costs of hiring, training, and maintaining your own fleet of drivers, you also reduce the stress that comes with it. Rather than having to oversee the entire shipping department, you can pick up the phone and tell us where you need us to pick up and where your packages need to go. You also have one check to write for deliveries, and not a list of paychecks. We not only save you money, we also make you look good. With a performance average of 99.3%, we're there the first time and every time to be sure you and your customer are happy.
Since 1983, American Expediting has been a trusted name when it comes to all expedited delivery needs. Across the country, we have built a nationwide network so that we can "Say Yes" to any request you may have. With American Expediting handling all shipping/delivery needs, you can decrease cost, simplify your operations, and rest assured that your deliveries will be there on time every time.

Valentines Day is one of those holidays I just don't get excited about like so many others seem to get delirious over. I personally associate the day with piles of terrible candy covered in pink and red tat with a dash of cheap novelty greeting cards. However, in my utmost determination to disassociate myself from these negative ideas of v-day, I thought I'd make something awesome to take my mind away from the mountains of gaudy baubles pawned off on naive lovebirds.
Heart Containers were an easy choice. Who wouldn't love someone that gave them the gift of extra health? I know I would! One if the most rewarding things about a Zelda game, especially later on, is having an absolute ton of hearts. Unless of course you consider yourself more the type of person that walks a dangerous road and chooses to skip heart collecting. Either way, fans of both approaches can appreciate the importance of keeping your heart containers full. Or maybe empty, in the case of these cookies.
Fun Fact: There were actually three Oracle games planned, but due to time restraints, the third was scrapped.
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
4 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Very finely crushed red hard candy, about 1 cup (I used a raspberry drop candy I happened across at the supermarket)
For glaze:
1 cup icing sugar
1 tablespoon milk
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks and vanilla and beat to combine. Slowly add flour mixture and beat to combine. Form dough into 2 equal balls, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Working with 1 disk at a time, roll out dough between floured parchment paper to 1/8-inch thickness. Stack dough in parchment on a baking sheet; refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes. Cut out heart shapes using cookie cutters or, if none are available, cut out shapes using a clean, non-perforated knife. Place cookies, 1 inch apart, on well greased tin foil baking sheets (this makes it easier to get the glassy hard candy center off the foil). Bake until cookies are pale but set, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove sheets from oven; fill cutouts with crushed candy. Bake until cookies begin to brown at edges and candy is melted, 3 minutes. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks.
Mix icing sugar and milk together then apply to the outside cookie and let set.
Fun Fact: The Pols Voice monster in The Legend of Zelda was originally meant to be defeated by screaming into a microphone for the NES. It was, however, scrapped in the US, and only applied to the Japanese Famicom version. The US manual still refers to them "disliking loud noises".

Just one real estate move could indeed satisfy both short and long-term needs.
Seattle Children's Research Institute faced an immediate need for 60,000 SF of in-city interim lab and office space, and a longer-term need for a larger, permanent facility. Not only was the Institute facing two moves, but it was also facing a three-year wait, even for an interim move, assuming the specialty lab space needs would require building versus leasing.
Seattle Children's is one of the most respected non-profits in the community, a fact Kinzer knew could be used to the client's negotiation advantage. During the investigative phase, Kinzer discovered an expansive downtown building originally designed as a lab, that was now vacant and saddling a Fortune 100 company with an unwanted long-term lease. Kinzer quickly negotiated a discount on the leasehold.
At the same time, Kinzer entered into separate, confidential arbitrage negotiations with the building owner and the leaseholder — a move that resulted in the Institute's successful purchase of a 220,000 SF state-of-the-art office and lab building, at below replacement cost.
Additionally, Kinzer secretly assembled an adjacent building and a full block of adjacent properties totaling 1.7 million SF, turning Children's short-term solution into their long-term solution, and enabling just one move, three years ahead of schedule.

SimpleUsers needs PHP 5, MySQL (no special version needed) and the MySQL Improved extension (http://php.net/mysqli).
Basic knowledge of PHP is required. Assuming that you know basic PHP, you most likely do know your way around HTML.
Is it secure?
SimpleUsers doesn't store password in clear text which makes the application secure for you AND your users.
Every user gets a unique 128 character long salt prepended to their chosen password, which then gets stored in the database as a SHA1 hash. The hashing is one way.
Additionally, to avoid SQL injection attacks, SimpleUsers uses prepared statements, when communicating with the database.
CSRF (Cross-site request forgery) protection has been integrated - the methods doesn't require user is logged as CSRF also could be prefered in other situations.
The CSRF protection works only with POST data (as GET data already is too easy to manipulate).
Please be aware that SimpleUsers isn't a fullblown application; it's not safer than what you use SimpleUsers in.
When developing your application, think of SimpleUsers as an aid in adding user management to your application.
It's simple.
What you need to do, is to edit the configuration file, located at simpleusers/config.inc.php, then run the install script which is located at simpleusers/install.php
Include and use
You simply make sure that your sessions has been started (http://php.net/session_start), include the su.inc.file, located at simpleusers/su.inc.php and finally, you create an instance of the SimpleUsers object - now you're ready to go.
Sample files are included with this package
The following files are simply sample files and should not be used as useradministration `as is`.
The sample files are only for reference and learning purposes, so you can build SimpleUsers into your own application.
Not all the methods available in SimpleUsers is covered in these files.
A full reference can be found in reference.html.
Please make sure you configured the config file!
It might seem like a trivial thing to mention, but when things doesn't work as expected, the most likely cause is a misconfigured configuration file.
The config file is located at simpleusers/config.inc.php and is fairly simple to understand.
Did you run the install script?
If not, you would probably want to; this will create the tables in your database needed for this to work.
The install script is located at simpleusers/install.php.
If you did, you should remove or rename the file or something similar, to avoid unwelcome users having access to it.

Whether you admit it publicly, you've probably seen "Pawn Stars," the second-highest-rated reality show on TV. The show, which chronicles the daily doings at the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop of Las Vegas, is a guilty pleasure.
Obsessed fans of the show are lining up outside the store to get a glimpse of their favorite character, whether it's Chumlee or The Old Man, with up to 4,000 people visiting every day.
The Pawn Stars guys are making it big. They're likable, funny and full of useless knowledge.
And the pawn industry — namely the National Pawnbroker's Association — is supporting the show, having awarded Rick Harrison and staff "The Pawnbroker of the Year Award 2010" for "dramatically improving the image of the modern-day pawnbroker."
But can an everyday pawn broker, unsupported by a major television show, be a profitable investment? The answer is a resounding yes.

VICTIMS of domestic abuse and sexual exploitation can now access increased support services provided by Copeland Borough Council.
The Council has recruited a full-time officer to support residents who are at risk of homelessness and have experienced – or at risk of abuse or sexual exploitation.
The number of victims presenting as homeless in Copeland has risen by over 25% in the last 18 months and, with domestic abuse known to rise over the Christmas period, the Council is ensuring that it is providing much needed support to vulnerable residents.
Councillor Mark Holliday, Member Champion and project lead at Copeland Council for the prevention of domestic abuse, said: "As Member Champion and lead of this project I am making reducing the scourge of domestic abuse my number one priority and will continue to support the efforts we are making.
"The sheer scale of this terrible issue in our borough makes me fully committed to reducing the impact."
Mike Starkie, Mayor of Copeland, said: "This is just one of a range of projects we are committed to and championing to address social issues across the borough."
In addition to employing the Specialist Prevention and Crisis Support Officer, the Council is also investing in two additional properties that are specially adapted for victims of abuse and exploitation.
These properties will provide emergency accommodation for victims who present as homeless to ensure they have a safe place to stay and one of these properties has been expertly designed specifically for victims with children.
As well as delivering support and prevention activities and working with other authorities around the county, including voluntary and third sector groups, the worker will link with other agencies to promote prevention and safeguarding messages in the wider community through advice and awareness-raising events.
To contact the Council's Specialist Prevention and Crisis Support Officer email email@example.com or call 01946 598300.
The Council advises that anyone who believes they are in immediate danger of abuse or exploitation to call 999 immediately. For those who are affected by these issues but are not at risk of homelessness call the National Domestic Violence Helpline on 0808 2000 247 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

I never thought "ami" was masculine.
Ami starts with a vowel (l'ami), so you can't write 'ma ami'.Therefore, it has to be masculine.

my female quaker parrot is approximately 15 yrs old. She hasn't laid eggs in years yet recently she has been on the bottom of the cage acting as if she is about to. She is healthy, eats regularly and doesn't appear to be sick. Her behavior is slightly aggressive when I put my hand in the cage. What is going on here?
What's Going On Here?

Posted 16 June 2014 - 05:05 PM
Sounds like she might be trying to lay an egg. But as long as she's eating and pooping regularly, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Are there any indications she is molting? Maybe she doesn't feel well if she's trying to get new feathers in.
Posted 16 June 2014 - 06:30 PM
I think she is too old to lay eggs. No, she is not molting. She is exhibiting symptoms of egg laying by attacking me when I put my hand in the cage
Posted 17 June 2014 - 05:21 AM
Posted 17 June 2014 - 08:26 AM
thanks for responding. She is shredding some but not a lot of paper. I think you may be correct with the hormone theory. Since she hasn't laid eggs in many, many years, I don't think she is about to do it now. I have 5 different species of birds in one room and don't let them out often as they are very territorial and attack each other.
Posted 17 June 2014 - 12:15 PM
Five different species! It must be interesting at your house. As LindeeV pointed out, if she's eating and pooping normally, it's probably nothing to be overly concerned about.
Maybe you already do this, but one thing I do to help control the hormone thing (my CAG is really prone to going into breeding mode), is to regulate their light, year-round. I use cage covers to, I hope, fool them into thinking there are around 12 hours of darkness in every day. Their sense of longer days is a big cue that it's that time of year. It's not foolproof, but I think it helps.
Posted 17 July 2014 - 05:02 PM
Just an update on Nibby. As of today, July 17, Nibby has laid 5 eggs. I guess she wasn't too old after all.
Posted 18 July 2014 - 05:44 PM
I'm glad she's okay and was just in laying mode.

Cough is not a disease, but a symptom of an underlying medical condition. Occasionally it is a natural reaction to an airway irritant – a natural body reflex and we all experienced one or two normal coughs a day to help clear the throat and respiratory passages. However, there are many health conditions resulting to this symptom and we should know when a cough needs attention.
According to Mayo Clinic some causes of coughs include:
- Common cold
- Influenza (flu)
- Inhaling an irritant
- Pneumonia
- Whooping cough
- Allergies
- Asthma (most common in children)
- Bronchitis
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Postnasal drip
- Acute sinusitis (sinus infection)
- Bronchiectasis (a chronic lung condition in which abnormal widening of bronchial tubes inhibits mucus clearing)
- Bronchiolitis (especially in young children)
- Choking: First aid (especially in children)
- Chronic sinusitis
- COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
- Croup (especially in young children)
- Cystic fibrosis
- Emphysema
- Heart failure
- Laryngitis
- Lung cancer
- Medications called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
- Neuromuscular diseases, such as parkinsonism, which weaken the coordination of upper airway and swallowing muscles
- Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) — especially in young children
- Tuberculosis
To treat a cough, it's important to determine the cause – it helps us choose the right kind of treatment. Different types of cough suggest different causes.
What types of cough are there? How can you tell each apart?
Dry coughs do not produce phlegm or mucus, and are usually the airway's reaction to an irritant or to asthma. It might range from the occasional annoying, dry hacking cough that disrupts your sleep. You might also develop a sore throat or a headache as a result of your coughing.
While the primary symptom of a dry cough is self-explanatory (a dry cough without phlegm. But a dry cough often accompanied by other symptoms and these can include:
- Sore and dry throat
- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Weakened immunity
Croup is a disease that causes a harsh, barking, dry cough that can sound similar to a seal barking. Croup in kids results in a swollen upper trachea, or windpipe; this is usually caused by a viral infection. The swelling, which is beneath the vocal cords, causes the barking cough.
Most often, croup is caused by an infection. There are two types of this condition — viral and spasmodic. Viral croup is caused by any virus that infects the voice box (larynx) and windpipe (trachea), while spasmodic croup comes on suddenly, often in the middle of the night. Your child might wake up gasping for air.
Here are the signs your child may have croup:
- A cough that sounds like a bark (may be worse at night)
- Hoarse or raspy voice
- Noisy, labored breathing
- Fever (in some cases)
- Rash
- Eye redness
- Swollen lymph nodes
A wet cough is caused by fluid secretions and mucus found in the lower respiratory tract (windpipe and lungs). Common causes of wet cough include infections and asthma. The coughing removes fluid from the lower respiratory tract.
If your wet cough has been going on for more than a few weeks, it could be caused by:
- Bronchitis
- Pneumonia
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Cystic fibrosis
- Asthma
A child with whooping cough (also known as pertussis) will have symptoms similar to an ordinary cold, but gradually the cough becomes worse, with severe fits of deep, fast coughing, especially at night. It is a highly contagious respiratory disease. It is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis.
The frequent coughing fits are generally a series of 5 to 15 staccato coughs in rapid succession. After coughing, the child will breathe deeply, sometimes making a "whooping" sound. The rapid coughing can lead to breathing problems and the child can look somewhat blue because of the temporary shortage of oxygen. While whooping cough can affect people of all ages, but can be very serious for babies less than a year old. The best way to protect against pertussis is by getting vaccinated.
Whooping cough has the same symptoms as the average cold:
- Mild coughing
- Sneezing
- Runny nose
- Low fever (below 102 F)
- Diarrhea early on

My Review:When 30-year-old Anna Ramsey learns that a meth-addicted looter has dug up what might be the funerary mask of Montezuma, she books the next flight to Oaxaca. Determined to redeem her father, a discredited art collector, and to one-up her unfaithful fiancé, a museum curator, Anna hurls herself headlong into Mexico's underground art world. But others are chasing the treasure as well: the shape-shifting drug lord no one can really describe; the enigmatic American expat, who keeps his art collection locked in a chapel; the former museum director who traffics stolen works, and his housekeeper—deeply religious, a gay woman in a culture of machismo, dependent on a patron she loathes; the painter Salvador on his motorcycle, complex, sensual—but with secrets of his own.
Anna soon realizes that everyone is masked—some literally, others metaphorically. Indeed, Dancing with the Tiger is a splendid reminder that throughout human history, cultures have revered masks: whether in the theater or in war, for religious purposes, or to conceal identity, masks are as universal as our desire to transform ourselves, to change. Anna, without an ounce of self-pity despite traumatic losses, stands out as a heroine for our times as, traveling alone, she finds the courage to show her true face.
I've worn a mask most of my life. Most people do. As a little girl, I covered my face with my hands, figuring if I couldn't see my father, he couldn't see me. When this didn't work, I hid behind Halloween masks: clowns and witches and Ronald McDonald. Years later, when I went to Mexico, I understood just how far a mask can take you. In the dusty streets, villagers turned themselves into jaguars, hyenas, the devil himself. For year,s I thought wearing a mask was a way to start over, become someone new. Now I know better.

Grapefruit Seed Extract for a Yeast Infection
Yeast infections are a common occurrence for women, with three out of four women experiencing one in their lifetime according to FamilyDoctor.org. Several methods, both prescription and nonprescription, are available to treat them. One natural treatment that is inexpensive and purported by natural health practitioners to be effective is the ingestion of grapeseed extract, or GSE. This supplement acts as a nature-based antibiotic and antifungal that kills off proliferating yeast.
GSE comes from the rind and seeds of the grapefruit 4. According to DiagnoseMe.com, a website overseen by medical doctors, it is a broad-spectrum, natural antibiotic that can kill a wide variety of pathogens. Along with bacteria and protozoa, it kills the yeast in both vaginal and systemic yeast infections. It is considered generally safe for most people and can be used for long periods of time without upsetting the beneficial flora in the gut, unlike antibiotics.
Dr. Allan Sachs, a proponent of using GSE for candida, recommends that a cleansing diet that is low in sugar and starches be used in conjunction to remove the yeast.
Grapefruit seed extract can be found in most health food stores, in either pill or liquid form 12. It is also found at most drug stores and on the Internet. Some GSE products contain additional compounds, such as preservatives and fillers. Check the label to see exactly what you are buying.
In "Nature's Antiseptics: Tea Tree Oil and Grapefruit Seed Extract", author C. J. Puotinen recommends three or more capsules, or 10 to 20 drops of liquid extract, of GSE per day to fight a yeast infection 13. Dr. Sachs recommends using GSE as a douche -- 16 drops in 16 ounces of water, once a day for three days. You should discuss exact amounts of GSE for both oral and vaginal use with a doctor.
A study from the University of Texas found that GSE has "antimicrobial properties," is safe, and affects bacteria within 15 minutes. Other studies have failed to prove the effectiveness of GSE against fungus.
Those with a citrus allergy should not take GSE. It should not be used with immunosuppressant or cholesterol lowering medications or taken with antihistamines.

In light of everything with the new WCHA playoff system, I had a lingering question: What effect would the semifinal rules have had on Michigan Tech's chances of making the NCAAs as an at-large team?
Luckily, I knew the guy to ask: Tim Braun of TechHockeyGuide.com. His answer:
Michigan Tech would still need to win the Title to get in…even sweeping FSU at home and losing to MSU in Houghton would have MTU first team out.
[T]hey'd pickup almost 40 RPI points, enough to pass Cornell, but not UMD…that would get them to 0.5398 (UMD was up at 0.5440).
The new, truly-insular schedule for 2016-17 will make it hard for WCHA teams to make the NCAAs. WCHA teams play just 32% of their non-conference games at home this season (39% if you count the Alaska tournaments) per UAHHockey.com's Michael Napier. It's no wonder that the WCHA is looking to reduce the number of league games to give member schools more opportunities to play out-of-conference. The WCHA's woeful non-conference totals in 2015-16 — tabulated by Troy Mills of the Beaver Hockey Pond — tells the sad tale of woe:
The WCHA non-conference schedule is complete and the league ended up with a record of 27-36-9.
-5 against Hockey East (3-2-0)
-4 against Atlantic Hockey (3-0-1)
-26 against the NCHC (4-20-2)
-24 against the Big10 (10-9-5)
-7 against the ECAC (4-2-1)
-6 against Arizona State (3-3-0)
It's the NCHC play that killed the league. Four teams from the Nacho made the NCAAs, and the results weren't pretty:
- UAH went 0-2-0 against eventual national champion North Dakota, although one of those games was 1-0, and split with Colorado College.
- UAA lost to St. Cloud.
- UAF also lost to St. Cloud.
- BSU went 2-0-0 against Duluth, 0-1-1 against North Dakota, and lost to St. Cloud.
- BGSU lost two games each to Miami and Western Michigan, a fact that probably rankles our friends at BGSUHockey.com.
- FSU went 0-1-1 against Western.
- LSSU lost to North Dakota, and they sadly got swept at home by newbie Arizona State.
- MTU didn't play any NCHC teams, and their big regrets are in conference play.
- MSU lost three games to St. Cloud and two to Nebraska-Omaha.
- NMU split with Duluth.
One way to consider the new playoff structure — which I like a lot! — is that playing two or three semifinal games will lower the chance of upsets. While that lowers the probability of hurting a league team in PWR — again, it kept Tech out in 2016 — Ferris State made the 2014 NCAA field as an at-large despite losing the Broadmoor to Minnesota State.
I hope to have answers on the probabilities for the 2016 semifinals and final game in the next week or so. But there's also …
Time to build a spreadsheet! https://t.co/oe0WK23wns

News Blog: Investing in East Portland in 2020 and beyond
PBOT will construct 14 additional projects in East Portland in 2020, investing another $45 million in safer and improved streetsRead More…

1120 SW Fifth Ave, Suite 800, Portland, OR 97204
Clarification: An earlier version of this advisory incorrectly described the Smart Park garage closure. The closure on Sunday night through noon on Monday only affects the rooftops of those garages. All other floors will be available for parking as normal.
(Aug. 17, 2017) – The Portland Bureau of Transportation warns the traveling public to prepare for heavy traffic congestion on area highways and potential delays on public transit this weekend through Tuesday, as the state experiences an influx of visitors for Monday's total solar eclipse.
On Monday, Portlanders should consider telecommuting, working flexible hours, walking, or biking to avoid travel delays. Carpooling can reduce the number of vehicles on the roads, reducing traffic for everyone. Portland Streetcar and BIKETOWN bike share service both plan normal operations.
Local efforts to reduce unnecessary traffic during presidential visits and winter storms have shown Portlanders are able to adjust their travel plans for special circumstances by planning ahead. It's worth remembering to support local businesses as the region copes with the influx of an estimated 1 million visitors to Oregon.
Our Twitter account @PBOTinfo posts updates of significant changes in road conditions, including closures and alerts. Check our Facebook account and PBOT web site for more background information.
On Monday, the Human Access Project and Portland Bureau of Environmental Serviceswill host an eclipse-watching party, floating and swimming on the Willamette River in downtown Portland. They encourage you to go there by bike!

Markus Fleischer is a jazz guitarist. He is the fifth best Meludia gamer of all. He gives us his impressions about Meludia and some ear training tips.
What are the dimensions where you perform the best on Meludia?
Being a guitar player I am a little better at Harmony but entering the Expert level everything starts to get pretty difficult. My total score is 68/70.
What's your favorite exercise?
My favorite exercises are Micro-Melody and The Slightest Move.
Micro Melody is just brilliant! I really like the way more and more notes outside the common major or minor scale are introduced. Steadily your ears and brain have to memorize more notes and recognize more notes that take you away from a key center.
The Slightest Move is a great way to train to hear individual voices within a chord or cluster of notes.
Which is the exercises you find the most difficult?
The most difficult exercises for me are Two-Part/Three-Part Rhythm and The Slightest Move. It's hard for me to remember all the rhythm hits when the tempo goes up.
In The Slightest Move I have problems when the three notes are played in very high register.
Do you have any tips and tricks for beginner as well as advanced musicians?
I think all musicians – beginners and confirmed ones – should train their ear all live long. It is a sure way to free your creativity and there is always something you can find that you could do better.
On a more practical level working with Meludia I would encourage you to practice in many different ways. For instance when I work with Micro Melody I sometimes do it very slow and repeat and sing every melody until I think I have it but sometimes I try to be very fast and intuitive typing in the melody in real time a spilt second after hearing it. Of course you will make more mistakes this way but you will improve your hearing instincts. You could also first play the melody on your instrument. Experiment.
What do you like (or don't like) in Meludia?
When you play Meludia it is really obvious that the exercises are created by musicians with a lot of musical insight. Meludia helps to be better on stage not only better at ear training. And it's a game, It's fun!
I am looking forward to the rest of the Expert levels being released.

In past years, the talent pool for the I-75 league draft equaled all available cards minus 216 protected players.
This year, for the first time, the talent pool will equal all available cards minus 260 protected players.
The difference will be noticeable. There will be fewer "this-year" help cards, resulting in more prospects going faster, and possibly relief pitchers going even more quickly than in recent years.
It's the effect of expanding from 12 to 15 teams. So, contenders and hopefuls might want to look at the trade market instead of banking on bulking up their lineup or pitching staff for a 2013 run.
Thus, without further ado, we present the latest installment of a 2013 Mock Draft — a hefty overhaul from the midseason mock draft:
1. Bryce Harper, OF, Washington — Power, speed, howitzer. About to turn 20 years old. One of the game's best prospects ever, and more than useful for 2013 to boot: .869 OPS vs. righties, including a .360 on-base number; 18 steals and eight outfield assists. Previous rank: 1.

Funky Jazz is characterized by its earthy, "low down," soulful, bluesy, and gospel flavored qualities, e.g., Moanin', Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers (IHJ). While Funk also combines elements of jazz, blues, and soul, it is characterized by syncopated rock rhythms and a heavy, repetitive bass line, e.g., Chameleon, Herbie Hancock (Web).

Pinal Co., AZ
|WESTERN BANDED GECKO Coleonyx variegatus
DESCRIPTION: A small (up to 76 mm or 3" from snout to vent) creamy yellow lizard
with reddish brown crossbands, spots, and reticulations on the body and tail. The limbs and sides are tinted with with pink. The ventral surface is plain and pale. Juveniles usually have distinct dorsal bands that break up into spots and reticulations as the animal ages. Adults in the southeastern portion of our state tend to retain the juvenile banding. A creamy yellow line loops from the corner of the eye around the back of the head to the other eye like an eyeglass strap. Behind this loop is a broad, reddish brown collar. The scales are small and granular and the skin is soft and translucent. A faint, blue-green tint is visible through the skin above each eye. This gecko has slender toes, lacks toe pads, and lacks tubercles on the body distinguishing it from the similar looking Mediterranean House Gecko. The tail becomes plump when the animal is well fed. The pupils are vertically elliptical. Unlike many geckos this lizard has moveable eyelids.

Following is the speech delivered by Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS) - UK Sri Lanka Branch Chairman Lalith Witanachchi at the organisation's 22nd Annual Awards Ceremony. Speaker of Parliament Karu Jayasuriya, Ports and Shipping Minister Arjuna Ranatunga, Public Enterprise Development Deputy Minister Eran Wickramaratne, ICS Sri Lanka Branch Vice Chairman Manjula Agalawatta, ICS Sri Lanka Branch Secretary Anoma Ranasinghe, ICS Fellow members and members, distinguished invitees and ladies and gentlemen. It is my pleasure to welcome you all this evening to the 22nd Annual Awards Ceremony, the flagship event of the Sri Lanka Branch of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers - UK, and also an important event in the shipping almanac of the local industry.
I feel particularly honoured to have the presence of Speaker of Parliament Karu Jayasuriya as our chief guest this evening and also the presence of Minsiter Arjuna Ranatunga and Deputy Minister Eran Wickramaratne. Ladies and gentlemen, Speaker Karu Jayasuriya is the senior-most member of the ICS Sri Lanka Branch and was the first Asian to be bestowed with the honour of being the chief guest at the International Awards Ceremony of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers - UK, which event was held in London,
a few years ago. Today, we are indeed proud to note that one of our members, a true professional who takes pride in living up to the spirit of the ICS motto 'Our word our bond', in word and in deed, is aptly appointed as the Speaker of Parliament and what great honour it is for us to have him as our chief guest this evening. Sir, may I mention, the consistency you have shown in attending our Annual Awards Ceremonies despite your busy schedules is exemplary. Thank you sir for graciously accepting our invitation for this evening's award ceremony. Minister Arjuna Ranatunga, it is our privilege to have your distinguished presence this evening. May I humbly submit sir, you have assumed command of the local shipping industry as its subject minister, at a crucial juncture when the industry is starving for proper leadership and guidance. Of course, there is no doubt a challenging task is ahead of you. But then,
you are well-known to be a strong-willed person and also known to take challenges head-on with great success. My mind swiftly rewinds back to your cricketing days in the year 1996 when you astutely lead with great courage and determination a young Sri Lankan team – who were the underdogs - steamrolling your opponents to emerge victorious and win the World Cup for Sri Lanka. With age, I am sure those inherent characteristics have also matured in you like vintage scotch and wine. As you all know, the maritime industry is considered the lifeblood of international trade and global economy. More than 90 percent of world merchandise from raw material, machinery, equipment to consumer goods, estimated to be around nine billion tons, annually is carried by ships across the oceans.
The maritime commercial shipping has now achieved a high level of efficiency for low-cost movements of goods immensely contributing to economic globalization. In Sri Lanka's perspective, the country being an island nation and its economy to a greater extent depending on import and export trade, primarily an efficient and cost-effective maritime connectivity is undoubtedly an important prerequisite for the overall economic progress of the country. It is also important that we have to make more economic use of the country's strategic geographical location promoting it as the 'maritime hub' in the region.
There is a wide range of maritime-related business activities such as trans-shipment, shipbuilding and repairs, logistic centres, ship management, maritime education, marine insurance, surveyors and brokering, financing, etc., which can be attracted and promoted in maritime centres across the island by creating pro-business policy environments. Human skills vital One vital area which draws attention is the continuous development of human skills.
Technological developments in the sea transport sector over the past few decades, especially in terms of containerization, have stressed the necessity to recognize this fact and act positively in this all important area. In this respect, one thing remains pertinent – the need for focused and relevant training; capable of attracting high-quality and talented individuals who see shipping for what it is – an important, vibrant and growing industry. Sir, over the last 100 years, the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers - UK has earned an unmatched global reputation from the international shipping industry's major players as the only professional body dedicated to commercial shipping worldwide. The postnominal initials MICS and FICS make a point of difference in very difficult and ever changing service sector, which remains dependent on the knowledge and trust of its key decision-makers. Governments across the world are seeking specialist ICS opinion on relevant shipping issues. Minister, in the context of the local shipping industry, the need of the hour is for the state administrative machinery to have in place a vibrant consultative mechanism or forum comprising shipping professionals to provide appropriate advice to them to formulate effective solutions with issues related to shipping. It reminds me to recall that in the year 1996, the then Shipping Minister - late Ashroff,
appointed a taskforce for the formulation of a National Shipping Policy for Sri Lanka. Mind you sir, this is a point we have been repeating every year at our awards ceremony. The contribution made by ICS Sri Lanka Branch as a Member of the Task Force was immense and significant. Unfortunately however, due to his sudden demise the document never saw the light of the day. Today, we could proudly boast of having a port with three terminals,
including the deep draft terminal, with an annual capacity of 2.5 million twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEUs), which is capable of accommodating MEGA ships which are now being inducted into shipping services which of necessity require deep draft facilities. Moreover, shipping companies are facing challenging times with vessel over capacity and still new ships being added to services and having to compete for less cargo volumes causing very depressed freight levels. Resultantly, ship-owners/operators are demanding more productive, cost efficient and quality port services. The Terminal operators have to understand these circumstances when making their policies and strategies. Sir, as a professional body, we are ever so willing and readily available at your disposal to extend whatever possible assistance you may need in steering the future course of the Sri Lanka shipping industry under your astute leadership.
Minister, these are just a few thoughts I embarked upon to share with humility but there are many more for which neither the time nor this forum is appropriate. However, let me once again humbly reiterate that ICS Sri Lanka is always available to share our expertise in the broader interest of the development of our own shipping industry.
To all of you who will be receiving your diplomas, membership and awards tonight, I wish to mention, that the single most important factor in the shipping industry is the individual. Professionally qualified individuals are better placed to make better decisions on behalf of themselves, their companies and their clients. Professionalism couples, a comprehensive understanding of one's business with trust and integrity. ICS members combine the knowledge gained through study and proven through examination with business ethics that Imports confidence into the industry worldwide and epitomize themselves as genuine professionals.
Finally, let me wish the recipients of awards all well and request them to maintain the highest standards of ethics in their thoughts and action as a true professional and always live up to the institute's motto 'Our word our bond', indeed a hallmark of professionalism in this global Industry

The healthcare field has made huge strides in embracing the internet. Mind you, this is not universal. Whether it's shortage of funding, or hesitation to realize the inherent value of the digital realm, there are those that are taking advantage, those that aren't, and those that are exceeding their initial digital goals.
Dermatology & Skin Health in Dover is one such organization that is taking advantage, and is continually working towards the latter. Their initial want was to introduce their practice to an online audience. They were hoping to get a "Contact Us" page up so that prospective patients could dial in, or email requests and book appointments. They approached us to see if we could make that happen for them. Our answer? Of course.
"We had no foundation for who we were, what we are, and what we could offer the community," said Laurie Seavey. "We needed to come up to times, have presence in the digital setting. We needed to increase access and visibility. We assumed people knew where we were, and they didn't."
Sure we could deliver a Contact Us page. That's simple. Any shop that codes sites could have made that happen for them. What we wanted to do was expound upon their interest in investing in this digital landscape and create a presence for them that not only allowed their prospective clients to make contact, but also position Dermatology & Skin Health as an industry thought-leader. We sought to inspire. What we built for them is a robust interface that is a trend setting industry design and operative implementation. Their website is a valuable user reference portal.
"We're very pleased with the site," said Seavey. "The site took on a different meaning than what we thought it would initially. The site became an educational piece. We thought it was going to be a contact us page, now that's it focused on educations, it makes more sense, and establishes us as leaders in the industry. We are never opposed to different views on things. We value Boldwerks as a marketing force, and we value how they go above and beyond to make sure we're marketing ourselves to our fullest potential. They value our success, and thrive off of helping our business."
Dermatology & Skin Health's new website has provided the organization with tremendous visibility – offering patients an astounding medical resource and insight into the organizational values of the practice. They continue to grow daily, bringing in new staff, and garnering more traffic to the site daily, which is as much an educational tool as it is a piece of brand collateral. When done correctly and effectively, the two should be operating in unison. It's in that cohesiveness that success blooms.

Dental Travel Guide #2
The Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention (OSAP) has publish a great Traveler's Guide to Safe Dental Care. Below is just another small piece of a great site full of information you should know when traveling for dental care. The check list is a great start to a great dental vacation.
Take steps to ensure a healthy trip free of dental emergencies.
No one wants to have a trip ruined by a toothache. To minimize the risk of a dental emergency, visit your dentist for a check-up before your trip. Schedule your appointment to allow enough time to complete any necessary or outstanding dental work before your departure date.
- Before you leave on your trip, tend to decayed teeth, broken fillings, and other dental problems. Inform your dentist of your travel plans and ask about any other potential dental problems.
- Have your teeth cleaned by the dentist or hygienist. This is particularly important if you have periodontal (gum) disease.
- If you will be away for an extended time, consider having partially exposed lower wisdom teeth removed. The fleshy covering over the tooth creates a food trap that can cause pericoronitis, a potentially serious infection that can spread to parts of the head and neck.
- All root canal treatment should be completed before travel to avoid potential infections and pain due to pressure changes during air travel. if the work cannot be completed, ask your dentist to insert a temporary paste filling to reduce the risk of problems.
Most insurance policies don't provide coverage for care delivered overseas, so it makes sense to take care of any potential problems before leaving home.

F191- It Appears Hope Does Not Either
There are limits to Sloth's anti-gravity powers. Wet, making your shorts cling to you kind of limits. These are your gods, cave people! These are your gods.
Quick Critique: Bloodborne
I was hoping that by skipping the Dark Souls games, I could get back into the franchise with Bloodborne. That was very much not the case. Bloodborne is just Demon's Souls without the interesting characters and world. It has the same intro where you fight a way too strong monster so it can kill you quickly. The same lack of story telling. The same crappy camera. The same lousy hit detection where enemies that clearly did not touch you still do damage and your weapon can pass through an enemy without doing damage. The same nonsensical level design. The same way that enemies don't react to being sliced by your giant weapon. The biggest thing that jumped out at me was that now it has terrible controls that map your attacks to the the triggers and bumpers instead of the face buttons. I'm not asking for an easy mode, I just want some super basic usability things answered. How do I save and when is it safe to turn the game off? How do I level up? How do I access my storage? Is there a way to nicely compare stats because looking at equipment in the shop doesn't let you easily compare stats to what you already have equipped in a meaningful way. The answers to those questions are actually: I don't really know it just sometimes happens but if you go to the systems setting menu you can go back to the title screen which seems to do the trick, you can't for the first overly long section of the game, and that door that was locked in the first overly long section of the game just opens up for some reason even though the game doesn't give you any indication about that and you'd have no reason to run back up that hill to find out the door is now open, and the storage section is under a big shelf full of bottles so it doesn't really look like a storage area. Normally, you'd turn to an instruction manual to find out these answers, but BB doesn't come with one. It comes with an ad for The Order: 1886 instead. Handy! It does have a digital manual but digital manuals are the worst. You're trying to find information but you don't know where it is and you can't access it and have the game up at the same time, so you have to deal with a bad UI and there's loading time on every page turn.
Nothing about BB addresses things I didn't like about Demon's Souls and without the cool world, it just feels worse. BB has the same godawful leveling system where you get 1 stat point per level at increasing soul costs. I hate this way of doing level ups so much because each point doesn't feel like it makes much of a difference so just the process of leveling is unfulfilling and it means that taking a stat from 5 to 6 can cost as much as taking a stat from 59 to 60. Either have fewer, more meaningful stat increases or add a modifier for how much it costs to raise stats for moving from low to slightly less low is cheaper than high to even higher. And I did the same exact thing as in Demon's Souls where I picked a stat that looked helpful, sunk all my souls into that, and later found out that it wasn't really all that useful and I should have probably sunk all my souls into stamina. BB even looks worse. Yes, the graphics are technically nicer but everything is extremely brown and overly shiny but not in an "eww these hellbeasts are icky" kind of way, more a "did everybody oil up as part of selling your soul to evil?" kind of way. Dead bodies also freak out the physics engine with whole lots of twitching and getting caught on your feet. You can kill a lumbering giant of an enemy, but as soon as it dies, it loses its mass, crumbles to a twitching pile of bad physics engine, and gets tangled up in your feet as you walk, so you drag it around like it was light as paper until it finally wriggles free.
The fact that I did complete Demon's Souls probably contributed greatly to me not caring about BB. In DS, everything was new and you didn't know what could be around the next corner or where a little bit of story would sneak in and it helped that the levels were clearly defined as separate worlds. In BB, I know what's out there, I know I'm going to slog from area to area without knowing where or why I'm going that way outside of it just being someplace I haven't been yet, I know I'm going to bash my head against a wall on bosses with way too much health until I stumble upon the one gimmick you need to know to beat them and how to keep them from blocking the camera, I know that there will be little to no building of the story, and I know there will be no sense of making progress or completing goals because the world is all connected and unless you stumble upon the shortcuts, you're going to be running through the same areas over and over and over. In DS, you at least had a goal and you knew (or at least thought you did) what your enemy was. BB doesn't give you any sense of satisfaction when you beat a boss or get through an area. In DS, I knew that beating a boss meant I was done with that part of the world and that I had made real, demonstrable progress and was that much closer to my goal. Beating the first boss in BB gets you a checkpoint that's less convenient than the previous one you had and doesn't even open up the next area of the game. After beating the boss, you just turn around and go back the way you came. After several hours of playing BB, I didn't know who my character was, what its motivations were, why I was in that town, what was wrong with the people, who the people were, why everything wanted to kill me, how to stop it, or what my goal was. The game just plops you down, tells you that everything might be a hallucination, says "blood" A LOT, and sends you off to murder the same respawning enemies. That's not fun, compelling, or interesting to me in the slightest. I got up to the second (maybe?) boss and just couldn't bring myself to play it again, so I looked up spoilers online. The closest thing to a revelation in the story is that injecting yourself with strange blood from monstrous creatures is bad for you. That's not a plot twist, that's just basic common sense and something I assumed from the very start of the game so I wouldn't have even considered that as something to be revealed.
Bloodborne is just more of an already uninteresting game and not something I feel any need to experience again. The sole kind thing I can say about it is that the dead baby ghosts are kind of cute in their own little minion-y sort of way. So rock on, dead baby ghosts, you wear your fancy hats well.

OK, so you are looking for proof that just about anybody can build a geodesic greenhouse dome? Well check out these pics of my friend Kacper's new dome that he built for under $500.oo! Holy cow! The thing is 40ft across!
Laying out the dome foundation! With a little help from friends. Look at the size of it!
The first layer of triangles takes shape. It starting to look like a geo dome now!
It takes all sizes to build a greenhouse! Think how healthy she will be with all the amazing organic, food grown right at home!
Its getting bigger and bigger so when doing this size dome scaffolding is a must!
It might not look that big but this greenhouse dome will have room for small trees! The peak of the roof is over 24ft off the ground but this structure will easily shrug off the strongest winds.
Next step: the UV resistant insulating light spreading high tech cover material!
