"Do you have an airsickness bag and some Dramamine?" asks Addison Pemberton, pilot of the Boeing 40C. It's Tuesday night, and I've traveled by subway, train, and automobile to Republic Airport on Long Island for the privilege of flying with Pemberton and four others as they retrace the airmail route from New York to San Francisco.

"Eat bananas," advises Ben Scott, who pilots the 1930 Stearman Speedmail. As I scrawl Find grocery store. Bananas, Ben continues, "They taste the same coming up as they do going down."
I draw a line through my to-do note.
I'm already somewhat nervous about flying the New York-to-Bellefonte leg. As Donald Dale Jackson reported in a 1991 Air & Space article, "The long, low ridges that roll across central Pennsylvania like waves on a choppy sea—hard to read from the air, prey to violent weather changes, and short on flat clearings for forced landings—were dreaded by pioneer fliers. Those who endured the area called it the 'Hell Stretch.' "
But the five men re-creating the trip are all experienced pilots, and my fears soon disappear. Pemberton, who coordinated the reenactment, and Scott are joined by Larry Tobin, pilot of a 1927 Stearman C3B; Al Holloway, pilot and mechanic extraordinaire; and George Perks, a pilot and the photographer who is supplying the photo blog for the trip.
At dinner, the men eat heartily, and talk about various airmail pilots and the difficulties they faced. They regale me with past adventures and their hopes about the reenactment. I hear the refrain "We're living the dream" several times. As the evening winds down, we agree to meet in the hotel lobby at 6:00 a.m. the next morning.
At the appointed hour I head downstairs. The entire crew is already waiting in the lobby. We make the short drive to the American Airpower Museum, where the vintage aircraft were stored overnight.
Many of the American Air Power Museum employees and volunteers have shown up in period clothing, as have representatives of the United States Postal Service. We'll be carrying about 700 letters on our flight, which will be stamped at each stop (some of these will go on sale). We were supposed to be on the television news at 6:30, but were preempted by a breaking story about a serial killer. The television cameras show up a bit later though, and Addison gives an eloquent speech about airmail history.
Jim Vocell, vice president of museum operations at the American Airpower Museum, worries that I'll be cold during the trip, and offers me a flightsuit. But I decide to experience the flight as a 1928 passenger would (although I know a 1920s airline passenger would be scandalized by my T-shirt and jeans).
Then it's time. To enter the 40C, I stand on Addison's back, who is on his hands and knees. I feel bad about crushing the pilot before we even begin our flight, but Addison assures me that everyone enters and exits the Boeing in this manner.

text: One of the greatest ice hockey players in Boston State College annals, Dick Leahy was named to the All-East and All-New England teams in 1968, while helping the Warriors to a fourth-place finish at the inaugural NAIA National Championship Hockey tournament. The 1970 graduate averaged 1.5 points per game with 103 points in 68 games, good for the fifth-highest scoring average in school history. He netted 45 goals and assisted on 58 other scores, while playing on the first line as a forward his entire career. Leahy also saw action for the first-line power play and penalty killing units for the length of his career. He was Boston State's second-leading scorer in both 1968 and 1969 and was named the team Most Valuable Player in 1969, while earning the first of two school Sportsmanship Awards. No stranger to success, Leahy helped the Warriors to three straight Codfish Bowl titles and was selected to the Codfish Bowl All-Tournament team in 1969. He was not only a Sportsmanship Award recipient in 1970, but also achieved captain status for both the hockey and golf squads. Leahy enjoyed a very successful golf career at Boston State as well, winning over 75% of his matches over three seasons and was named team Co-MVP in 1969 and 1970.

UK Parliament debates hate incitement and UK funding of PA, based on PMW findings
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
Mar. 17, 2013
UK Parliament scrutinizes Palestinian hate incitement,
terror glorification and British funding of PA
in debate examining PMW findings
MP Ellman: "The matters... are truly shocking and put a question mark over the status of the Palestinian Authority as a partner for peace"
MP Henderson: "No peace agreement will be able to guarantee...
peace if a generation of Palestinians is growing up indoctrinated
to hate Israel, Jews and the West"
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
British Parliament recently held a long debate examining "hate incitement against Israel and the West by the Palestinian Authority." The debate was initiated by MP Gordon Henderson. Henderson and other MPs cited
Palestinian Media Watch
's documentation of PA hate promotion and terror glorification, which they had seen in recent meetings with PMW Director Itamar Marcus as well as in PMW bulletins and reports.
MP Gordon Henderson on the severity of the Palestinian culture of hate:
"It is clear that a culture of hate has wormed its way into the very fibre of Palestinian society. Incitement to hate is pervasive in Palestinian school textbooks, on television programmes and at cultural and sporting events. Palestinians have been consistently and unremittingly taught to hate Jews, Israel and the West... Incitement takes many forms. It ranges from the denial of Israel's right to exist to the abhorrent glorification of violence and infamous Palestinian terrorists." [British Parliament debate, Feb. 26, 2013. All quotes below are from this debate.]
Documentation cited by MP Henderson:
Map cited by MP Henderson
"During the Palestinian application for statehood at the United Nations in September 2011, the PA's official TV channel broadcast a map that depicted all of modern Israel and the Palestinian territories wrapped in the Palestinian flag with a key through it. Therefore, at a time when President Abbas was telling the UN that he sought two states living side by side, residents on the west bank were being shown a map carrying an unmistakeable message of Palestinian sovereignty over the whole area."
PMW bulletin
, Oct. 6, 2011)
"Last summer, a PA TV broadcast
Picture cited by MP Henderson
Video cited by MP Henderson
Picture cited by MP Henderson
showed a painting depicting Israel as an ogre with a Star of David skull cap that impales and eats Palestinian children in Gaza."
PMW bulletin
, July 23, 2012)
"Just this month, PA TV broadcast a music video honouring a number of convicted terrorists... One of the terrorists who was honoured in that video was Ibrahim Hamed, who is serving 54 life sentences in Israel for planning a series of suicide bombings that killed 46 Israelis."
PMW bulletin
, Feb. 5, 2013)
"Official Facebook page of Fatah in Lebanon recently posted a photo of a mother dressing her young son with an explosive suicide belt and encouraging him to blow up the Sons of Zion."
PMW bulletin
, Oct. 29, 2012)
Other MPs from various parties likewise cited examples and agreed reiterated the significance of PMW's findings.
MP Dr. Matthew Offord (Con):
Picture cited by MP Offord
"Fatah's Facebook page routinely publishes pictures and slogans venerating arms and violence against Israel. In some pictures, young children are even shown carrying rifles."
PMW bulletin
, Jan. 7, 2013)
MP Louise Ellman (Lab) said the findings raise the question of the PA as a partner for peace:
"I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on securing this important debate. The matters that he brings to the attention of the House are truly shocking and put a question mark over the status of the Palestinian Authority as a partner for peace."
MP Henderson raised the problem of the of the UK funding PA salaries to prisoners, a topic being debated now in Norwegian Parliament as well:
MP Gordon Henderson:
"Consistent with the Palestinian Authority's policy of glorifying terrorists, the PA financially rewards terrorism by paying a monthly salary to Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons convicted of terror offences... I was shocked to learn that those payments are part funded by the British taxpayer. Indeed, the payments come from the PA's general budget, into which the UK contributes more than £30 million each year. I am unaware of any known safeguards in place preventing the use of UK aid to that end. Previous attempts by my parliamentary colleagues from all parts of the House to raise that issue have been met with apparent denial and a declaration that the payments are simply "social welfare payments to the families of prisoners" ...However, since these payments are not explicitly given to those in need, it seems logical to assume that they are given as a form of reward for prisoners' terror acts."
PMW reports
MP Guto Bebb (Con) cited proof that the payments were not social welfare, but in fact salaries for prisoners:
"... in December 2012, a Palestinian Authority statement, which was released through its official news service... which is made in the name of the Palestinian Minister responsible for prisoners' affairs, Issa Karake, announced that those payments were salaries and not social assistance. It went further by stating that any talk of social assistance was incorrect rumour. How can my hon. Friend square that issue with the denials made by our own Government?"
PMW bulletin
, Feb. 14, 2013)
MP Henderson cited what he saw as a positive remark by Prime Minister David Cameron:
"I am reassured that this is an issue that the Government are starting to regard with increased seriousness. Indeed, the Prime Minister made his position clear at a United Jewish Israel Appeal dinner late last year, when he said: "Britain will never support anyone who sponsors a football tournament named after a suicide bomber who killed 20 Israelis in a restaurant. We will not tolerate incitement to terrorism."
(PMW notes that contrary to PM Cameron's policy, Britain does in fact support those who glorify terror. All the examples of terror glorification cited by the MPs in the debate were sponsored by the PA. Moreover, the PA leadership consistently glorifies terror. PA Prime Minister
Salam Fayyad
sponsored a summer camp honoring Dalal Mughrabi, whose bus hijacking killed 37 civilians. Abbas supported
naming a square
after Mughrabi and personally sponsored a
computer center
named after her. These are just a few examples of many. PMW recently prepared a report for the Foreign Affairs Committee of
Dutch Parliament
with 40 pages of examples of PA-sponsored terror glorification. All of these events and programs glorifying terrorists are funded by the PA general budget that Britain supports. Contrary to PM Cameron's assertion that "Britain will never support" anyone who glorifies terror, it is supporting the PA, which glorifies terror almost daily. In addition to naming sporting events and places after terrorists, PA TV currently broadcasts four different weekly TV programs that are dedicated to honoring and glorifying Palestinian prisoners who are imprisoned for terrorism and security offenses. As long as Britain is supporting the PA, it is supporting those who glorify terror.)
The British government responds
Responding in the name of the British government was Alistair Burt, The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. Burt acknowledged the problem, referring to documentation he saw in a recent meeting with PMW Director Itamar Marcus, but argued that hate incitement is a symptom and not the problem:
"I had a briefing on some of the material some weeks ago, through Palestinian Media Watch. There are some tough examples. I think that I was expected to be shocked, but I was not. Hon. Members should not mistake me. Some material was shocking and offensive. It has no place in any political or historical discourse in which any credible democratic authority has a part. But my deep and genuine worry is that this incitement is not simply a cause of separation between peoples and hatred; I am afraid that it is a symptom of it."
Burt also seemed to imply a symmetry between PA and Israeli incitement although he did not cite any examples of Israeli incitement to back this up:
"I welcome this opportunity to reiterate the Government's position on incitement. We oppose, in all circumstances, the advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence. We deplore incitement on either side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."
"We do not hesitate to raise instances of incitement with both the Palestinian Authority and Israel whenever we feel that it is appropriate to do so."
Video cited by Parliamentary
Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Alistair Burt
Burt cited a video he had been shown by PMW director Itamar Marcus in their meeting, of a young
girl singing about martyrdom
at a performance broadcast on PA TV. However, following Burt's policy of blaming both sides equally, he did not blame the official PA schools who may have taught the girl the song, nor did he blame official PA TV for broadcasting the song, nor did he blame the producers of the event for including it in the program. Furthermore, he did not mention that PM Salam Fayyad and the Secretary General of the Presidential Office, Al-Tayeb Abd Al-Rahim, were in the audience applauding the singers. Instead, he blamed both sides equally:
Burt: "My overwhelming feeling in looking at some issues, particularly in relation to children, was sadness that those
on both sides of the divide
who wish to emphasize difference and separateness are steadily winning that battle. One example, which my hon. Friend may be aware of, is a little girl of about seven years of age reciting with pride a poem about a suicide bomber, or so-called martyr. If we see a child reciting a poem about such a thing, instead of what ought to be filling her mind, how do we react? Anger towards her is clearly not appropriate. Whoever's fault it is, it is not hers. I felt sadness for her, but anger that those who possess the ability to take down some of the barriers between Palestinians and Israelis simply do not do so, but continue actions that perpetuate the hatred." (emphasis added)
Burt also praised the PA leadership for what he called "their genuine commitment to non-violence":
"On the PA's leadership, it is important to stress that we consider that the track record of President Abbas and Prime Minister Fayyad shows their genuine commitment to non-violence and a negotiated two-state solution."
MP Andrew Percy rejected Burt's praise of the PA leadership, noting the PA may be telling UK leaders one thing and "saying something slightly different in Arabic":
"I am a little alarmed at that statement by the Minister, because there are many examples - example after example, indeed - of senior Palestinian officials at the very top levels attending sporting competitions named in honour of people who have murdered innocent Israelis, or of their attending ceremonies to rename squares and streets after people who have murdered innocent Israelis. So while they may say one thing to the West, they may be saying something slightly different in Arabic."
Alistair Burt responded by ignoring the facts cited by Percy and repeated UK policy:
"The Prime Minister was clear in his denunciation of those who set up sporting tournaments or who support activities named in memory of the so-called martyrs and the suicide bombers. Of course, that is the clear position of the UK Government."
(PMW notes that MP Percy was correct to state that PA leaders are involved in the terror glorification that Britain condemns. Burt's statement that Britain's policy is to "denounce those who set up sporting tournaments or who support activities named in memory of the so-called martyrs and the suicide bombers" is likewise not being implemented. Praising Fayyad and Abbas from the floor of UK Parliament for "their genuine commitment to non-violence," and not "denouncing" the fact that they are honoring terrorists, is contrary to stated UK policy.)
Finally, in spite of all the documentation, Burt tried to minimize the severity of the problem:
"I do not fully share the bleakness of the rhetoric with which my hon. Friend began his remarks, particularly his comment that Palestinians have been consistently and unremittingly taught to hate Jews, Israel and the west."
Possibly anticipating Burt's comment or having heard it before, MP Gordon Henderson in his earlier remarks criticized those who fail to acknowledge the significance of the PA hate incitement. He also warned that the PA hate incitement will undermine any future peace agreement:
"It is shameful that such incitement to hatred has been denied by too many people... I contend that incitement is a form of abuse of Palestinian children. We must remember that those children are the next generation of peacemakers and state-builders.
Simply put, no peace agreement will be able to guarantee peace in the medium to long term if a generation of Palestinians is growing up indoctrinated to hate Israel, Jews and the West."

Ecotourism May Benefit India's Environment, Economy
The Indian state of Uttarakhand has ample natural resources for ecotourism.
Photo by Grey cells via Flickr
Recent assessments of the state of the environment in 32 states across India indicate that the country's rising economic prosperity is putting the environment under stress, the Hindustan Times reports. Experts cite tourism as a leading cause of the environmental degradation in some areas. But "ecotourism," if properly implemented, has the potential to benefit both the economy and the environment, according to Manoj Bhatt, president and executive director of RACHNA (Research, Advocacy and Communication in Himalayan Areas), a nongovernmental organization based in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand.
India's tourism industry experienced a 20 percent earnings increase in 2005, but this "has not translated into jobs for areas like the Himalayas," notes Bhatt. Despite the region's world-renowned scenery and wilderness, tourism in Uttarakhand "remains a highly seasonal activity, served through a poor infrastructure and with unsustainable practices." The lack of jobs has spurred migration away from the area, creating a shortage of workers available to effectively care for and protect the local environment, according to Bhatt.
With a strong emphasis on local self-governance, RACHNA seeks to protect Himalayan ecosystems though community-owned projects and work plans. "Conservation-based businesses such as ecotourism and allied services like organic farming and food processing [have] a good potential of generating quality jobs and income in…[the] Himalayas," Bhatt notes. His organization trains local people to gather and interpret environmental data and to assess the effectiveness of various conservation efforts. This allows community members to "synthesize science with indigenous wisdom," Bhatt says. RACHNA also encourages youth involvement to help ensure long-term success.

Worldwatch Institute researcher Zoe Chafe agrees that conservation projects that are developed and managed by the community can be more successful in the long term. "If well-designed, ecotourism is one form of small-scale industry that can conserve local ecosystems and help keep indigenous knowledge alive in rural areas," she notes. "It can provide an alternative to urban migration and provide a viable financial option for those who wish to work closer to their rural homes." The best ecotourism project, according to Chafe, is one that includes "the local community in design and execution, truly preserves (and hopefully enhances) the local environment, aspires towards local ownership, showcases innovative environmental practices, and sources food and supplies from the local area."

Department of Homeland Security Robotic Fish Put to Test with Battleship TEXAS
LAPORTE – The Battleship TEXAS, the goodwill ambassador and museum ship that resides at the San Jacinto State Historic site, is back in the business of serving the nation this week — this time in a new role. The century-old battleship, a formidable warrior that saw the nation through two World Wars, is serving as a testing platform for a six-foot-long robotic fish designed to detect contraband hidden on a ship's hull.
Known as the BIOSwimmer, the technology undergoing testing is a highly maneuverable, unmanned underwater vehicle that is equipped with a sophisticated suite of sensors and embodies the natural shape of a tuna. The demonstration of this underwater robotic search system is a collaborative exercise of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate and Boston Engineering.
The test team is planting packages of mock contraband of varying sizes in tight, hard-to-reach spaces on the battleship's hull and putting the BIOSwimmer through the paces to see if it can successfully detect them. The technology demonstration of the BIOSwimmer is taking place from through Friday.
This is the first time the BIOSwimmer, developed by Boston Engineering Corporation's Advanced Systems Group with funding from a Small Business Innovation Research award from DHS S&T, will be tested in an operational marine environment.
"Texas Parks and Wildlife is pleased to make the Battleship TEXAS available to serve the nation in the interests of strengthening port security," says Andy Smith, TPWD's ship manager. "The tests underway this week will be instructive in the Department of Homeland Security's efforts to refine this innovative technology so it may be deployed to make our maritime environment safer. The Battleship TEXAS is showing us that you're never too old to be of service to your country."
The goal of the testing is to work out the details so that the system can ultimately be used to search for contraband attached to the hulls and underwater appendages of ships, according to DHS S&T BIOSwimmer Program Manager David Taylor.
The Battleship TEXAS became the first battleship museum in the U.S. in 1948. It is the last of the battleships in the tradition of the HMS Dreadnought that participated in World Wars I and II.

The SF-901 engine dynamometer was a workhorse in engine testing from the day it was released in 1982. Thousands of SF-901 engine dynos were produced and hundreds if not thousands are still in use today. The problem, the data acquisition system was designed in 1978 so it lacks features and capacity to adequately test modern engines and the majority of the electrical components required to service the data acquisition and control system are no longer available.
To help, we've developed a conversion kit to replace the dated SF-901 electronics with our latest WinDyn 4.0 data acquisition and control system. This upgrade allows SF-901 owners to keep the functional mechanical portion of their dynos and upgrade to the latest WinDyn data acquisition and control system making the dyno perform like new for less than half the cost.
The SF-ED-901 conversion package includes
The current WinDyn system is ¼ the size and 100 times more powerful than the SF-901 giving you more data channels, better testing methods, higher resolution test data and a suite of modern testing tools to get the most out of your engines. WinDyn is easy to use, ready to run and ready to adapt to your needs.
Major benefits of the SF-ED-901 conversion package
Onsite Installation and Training
The package includes three days of onsite installation and training by a SuperFlow service engineer. While onsite our engineer will:

The next wave of givers
Who will replace nonprofits' aging contributors?
- May 29, 2012
- |
Will the next generation of Virginians be as generous as their elders?
That's a question the leaders of many nonprofit organizations must ponder as they scan their lists of reliable but aging contributors.
Virginians in their 20s and 30s are part of a generation often called the Millennials. They are tech-savvy, self-assured and, despite the challenges of a bad job market, quite generous.
This year the Generous Virginians Project examines efforts to focus and cultivate that generosity as the Millennials come of age in the workplace and community affairs.
The project, now in its third year, looks at trends in philanthropy and tracks major donations made by individuals, corporations and foundations.
In the following pages, the magazine looks at attempts to educate a new generation in the responsibilities of giving, including a philanthropy class at the University of Mary Washington and the Future Fund, a fundraising group of young professionals created by the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia.
In addition, the magazine checks out PlanG, a new website expected to appeal to technocentric Millennials by offering one-stop shopping for philanthropy.
Also in this section are stories on:
- Trusts left by a couple who died in the 1950s, which have resulted in a $125 million windfall for 15 nonprofits, including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and Virginia Commonwealth University.
- The efforts of a Farmville museum to become a national educational resource on civil rights.
- A drive launched by Gov. Bob McDonnell challenging business organizations to collect money and food for state food banks.
- Innovative Virginia nonprofits that are finding ways to help stutterers, fund overlooked community projects and retrain the unemployed.
- An interview with Ray Smoot, who is retiring after 35 years as head of the Virginia Tech Foundation.
- Charts of major gifts

Develop an integrated method for directing remittances to income-generating projects for impoverished women entrepreneurs in Mexico.
Migrant remittances help alleviate some of the immediate symptoms of poverty, but they are not a permanent solution. They seldom succeed in creating opportunities that have a lasting effect on poverty. In 2007, Mexico received $25 billion in remittances, and yet more than forty million people continue to live on less than $2 a day. The challenge is to break the cycle where the survival of those left behind depends on migrant remittances, and instead create development opportunities within communities, so that migration ceases to be the only option for the next generation. CREA is developing an integrated method for channeling remittances to income-generating projects, eschewing traditional subsidies and cash handouts. By providing training and mentorship to women entrepreneurs in high-migration communities, CREA helps them scale-up their businesses and improve production processes, while developing better distribution channels to reach larger markets. Participating women entrepreneurs acquire new skills, build self-esteem, and forge closer partnerships with migrants, generating local income and employment.

The Bisons won their first Atlantic Sun game of the season beating Jacksonville 4-2 on the road Friday night.
"I was proud of the way the guys fought and battled," Bisons' coach Charles Morrow said. "We also did well with our chances. It was good to get on the board in terms of points in the conference.
"There is no question that Jacksonville is a good team. I'm sure they felt like some things didn't go their way. The margin of error is so narrow in conference games."
Garrett McLaughlin opened the scoring for the Bisons connecting on a penalty kick at 24:07 of the first half. It would be the only goal in the first 45 minutes.
In the second half the Bisons built up a 3-0 advantage. Garret Pettis scored on a cross from the right that went into the left corner of the net at 57:55. Nick Bibb was credited with the assist and earned high marks from Morrow for his overall play.
Miguel DaSilva scored the third goal for the Bisons at 71:24 on a deflection. The assist was given to Jeremy Lind.
"It was good to see Miguel look like his old self," Morrow said. "He had a goal and an assist and he drew the penalty kick. Miguel was a handful."
At the 80:30 mark Zach Langen was given a red card and ejected from the game. The Bisons played the rest of the way down one player.
"We played pretty great team defense for about 80 minutes," Morrow said. "But we let them back into the game."
Jacksonville came back to score the next two goals. Keegan Olsen scored an unassisted goal at 80:38 after a blocked penalty kick. Davide Faga found the next on a corner kick at 82:53.
The Bisons sealed the win at 84:12 when Andrew Chamberlain put the ball into the left corner of the net from 12 yards out. DaSilva was given the assist.
"We had made a lot of subs, but it shouldn't have gotten out of hand like it did with Jacksonville scoring two goals at the end," Morrow said. "We had to put some players back in near the end of the game to finish it off for us."
Goalkeeper Brent McGee made seven saves for the Bisons in earning the win.
The Bisons were outshot 21-14. Jacksonville held a 9-8 advantage in shots on goal.
The Bisons are 5-6, 1-2-0; heading into Sunday's road game at North Florida at 1 p.m. Jacksonville is 6-4-1, 1-1-0.
"We need all of the points we can get," Morrow said. "It is good after what happened to us last weekend to get a good result and get moving in the right direction towards the conference tournament.
"We are excited about Sunday. I told the guys we have to get over this win pretty quickly. We can't afford to leave here without six points. We will get refocused and be ready."

What is soybean peptides?
Proteins consist of long chains of amino acids held together by peptide bonds. The chains of amino acids that make up a protein can be quite long, sometimes hundreds of amino acids in length. Proteins can be broken down into shorter chains of amino acids called peptides. Every time you eat a protein, stomach acid and digestive enzymes in the stomach and intestines break down these proteins to peptides. Peptides can be as long as 50 amino acids in length or as short as 2 amino acids.
One type of peptide called soy peptides are derived from soy protein. These peptides are found naturally in soybeans as a part of soy protein. Soy peptides are released when hydrochloric acid in the stomach breaks them down. They can also be produced using enzymes to break down the bonds between amino acids in a laboratory. A variety of biologically active peptides have been isolated from soybeans that appear to have health benefits. Some have the ability to act as antioxidants, protecting cells against damage from exposure to oxygen, while others have an anti-inflammatory effect, reducing inflammation that contributes to a variety of health problems.
Peptides derived from soybeans also have blood pressure and cholesterol-lowering benefits, which may explain why diets high in soy may lower the risk for heart disease. In addition, soy peptides may lower the risk for obesity by reducing the body's ability to store fat and by stimulating the breakdown of fat stores. They also may reduce the risk for certain types of cancer, especially colon and liver cancer.
More recently it was discovered that soy peptides reduce exercise-related fatigue in athletes. This isn't surprising since peptides contain amino acids. These amino acids slow down the breakdown of other muscle proteins during exercise. They also appear to increase lean body mass in bodybuilders. Soy peptides are also easier to digest than milk protein and are well tolerated as a nutritional supplement.
Due to their anti-aging benefits, soy peptides are added to some anti-aging skincare products.
Soy peptides also have skin anti-aging benefits. Peptides are frequently added to skin care products because of their ability to alter the activity of cells. For example, some peptides signal cells in the dermis called fibroblasts to produce more collagen. Collagen is a protein that gives skin support and keeps it firm and wrinkle-free. Collagen levels decline with age, which is one reason wrinkles form and skin loses the firmness it had in youth. Research also shows that soy peptides increase the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, or GAGs, chains of polysaccharides linked to a central protein, in the dermis of the skin. An example of a GAG is hyaluronic acid. Glycosaminoglycans have the ability to hold onto water, which helps to keep skin hydrated. GAG levels decrease with age, and soy peptides may be one way to preserve them.
Due to their anti-aging benefits, soy peptides are added to some anti-aging skincare products to boost collagen synthesis and increase production of glycosaminoglycans as well as reduce inflammation and oxidative damage. When skin is exposed to ultraviolet light and pollutants in the environment, free radicals form that can damage skin cells and activate enzymes that break down collagen. Soy peptides can prevent some of this damage by donating electrons to these free radicals so they can't do their damage.
Soy peptides may help to fade areas of pigmentation due to sun damage as well as lighten under-eye circles.
Soy peptides may also help to fade areas of increased pigmentation due to sun damage as well as lighten under-eye circles. A small study showed that women who used a moisturizer containing soy peptides twice daily reported more even skin pigmentation, less blotchiness and improved skin texture as well as an improvement in fine lines and wrinkles. That's why soy peptides can be found in some facial moisturizers, eye creams and other anti-aging skin care products.
Is it safe? Soy peptides appear to be safe when applied topically and rarely cause skin irritation even for people with sensitive skin. In fact, they help to reduce skin irritation due to their anti-inflammatory effect. They have an anti-aging effect and can make skin look smoother and more evenly pigmented while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Omnipresence is the state of existing in all places at all times. Most monotheistic faiths claim their god possesses an omnipresent nature.
Further Definition[edit]
Wayne Grudem defines Omnipresence as such
"Just as God is unlimited or infinite with respect to time, so God is unlimited with respect to space. This characteristic of God's nature is called God's omnipresence (the Latin prefix omni-means 'all'). God's omnipresence may be defined as follows: God does not have size or spatial dimensions and is present at every point of space with his whole being, yet God acts differently in different places."
A good example of where from Scripture Christian Theists gain this thought is Jeremiah 23:23-24 where God says "Do I not fill heaven and earth?" But throughout scripture there are other allusions to this thought (cf: Ps. 139:7-10; Col. 1:17; etc.).

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Sues Company For Failing to Pay All Money Agreed to in Settlement
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A Charlotte, N.C.-based operator of janitorial services violated federal law when it failed to abide by the terms of a voluntary mediation settlement agreement it entered into with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the EEOC charged in a lawsuit filed today.
According to the EEOC's complaint, on October 20, 2009, Access Services, Inc. entered into a settlement agreement with the EEOC and Luis Rodriguez, a former employee, to settle a charge of employment discrimination filed by Rodriguez. As part of that agreement, the company agreed to pay $6,000 in a monetary relief to Rodriguez. The company has failed to make full payment, despite the fact the EEOC modified the payment terms twice at the company's request.
After first attempting to resolve the matter informally, the EEOC filed suit (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Access Services, Inc., 3:11-cv-00334), in U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, Charlotte Division. The agency seeks payment of the outstanding balance and appropriate injunctive relief.
Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution or ADR that is offered by the EEOC as an alternative to the agency's traditional investigative process. The mediation process allows the individual who filed a charge - called a "charging party" - and the company against whom the charge was filed, to meet and try to work out their differences with the assistance of a neutral mediator. The process is informal and voluntary, and both parties must agree to participate. The goal is to complete the mediation with a voluntary, negotiated resolution of the subject charge.
"When a company signs a settlement agreement with the EEOC and a charging party - whether the agreement occurs during mediation, investigation, or conciliation - the EEOC expects the company to honor such an agreement," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for the EEOC's Charlotte District Office. "Companies that voluntarily agree to settle a charge and then renege, will find that the EEOC taking all appropriate steps - including suit - to ensure that they comply with settlement agreements."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC and its mediation program is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Wayne State University: We Got A Deal; Take Our Word For It
University president says if faculty members don't like the deal, 'they can always quit'
Wayne State University officials say the state's right-to-work law helped the university get a better deal from its faculty union. However, university officials don't specify what they actually got in return.
Last month, WSU reached an agreement with the union on an unprecedented eight-year contract. The deal was struck as the clock was ticking toward the state's right-to-work law going into effect. At stake for the American Association of University Professors-American Federation of Teachers was the ability to keep collecting dues and fees from all members through 2021. The state's right-to-work law goes into effect March 28 and gives union members the right to opt out of paying dues or fees as a condition of employment.
In testimony Tuesday before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Higher Education, WSU President Allan Gilmour acknowledged the role that right-to-work played in the negotiations.
"We have right-to-work to thank for this," Gilmour said. "It added a sense of urgency that wasn't always present over the past nine months to get an agreement. Yes, it was over eight years. This has been a point of contention, but in my business career longer contracts provide stability for planning, budgets and personnel."
At stake now for WSU are additional state dollars from a $100 million performance fund. Lawmakers will be awarding money from the fund based on how well each university is keeping its costs under control.
Rep. Al Pscholka, R-Stevensville, chair of the subcommittee, has tied labor contracts that circumvent the state's right-to-work law to these cost controls. He has said his position is that universities should be considered ineligible for the performance funds if they renegotiate existing contracts with the result being that unions extend the period of time they can forcibly collect dues and fees.
Wayne State, however, was in a different situation. It had been negotiating a contract since July, long before right-to-work was passed. So Rep. Pscholka has taken a slightly different approach. He said the university should only be eligible for the funds if it can show that the contract saved taxpayers at least 10 percent in costs.
So far, however, Wayne State hasn't done that.
At Tuesday's hearing when Rep. Pscholka asked Gilmour how much money taxpayers saved as a result of the contract, there was no clear response. Gilmour mentioned several individual items, such as increased co-pays and some merit pay. However, he gave no overall savings amount.
At one point Gilmour asked rhetorically: "What is more harmful to students, an eight-year contract or a $7 million cut?"
Gilmour's general characterization of the contract was: "In short, we got a lot."
He also said in an interview after the hearing (see video below), that if faculty members don't like the deal, "they can always quit."
Rep. Pscholka said he wasn't impressed.
"It was so vague," Rep. Pscholka said. "He mentioned some cost savings on co-pays and something about $10 million. I couldn't even tell if he was talking about over the entire life of the contract or what. Look, we're talking about a contract that includes a 20 percent wage hike. I don't know how they're going to get savings out of that."
The Wayne State faculty union made no secret of the fact that it was rushing to get a contract agreement before right-to-work went into effect.
Rep. Pscholka also asked Gilmour about the eight-year length of the contract.
"I know of no one, other that Prince Fielder and Henrik Zetterberg, who gets an eight-year contract," he said. "Is this the longest (WSU contract) ever?"
Gilmour said he thought it was, but added the contract that just expired ended up lasting 10 years.
The first person to testify at Tuesday's hearing was Rep. Tom McMillin, R-Rochester Hills, chair of the House Oversight, Ethics and Reform Committee. Rep. McMillin has been trying to get Wayne State officials to testify before his committee.
With university officials providing testimony at the Appropriations Subcommittee, Rep. McMillin thought Tuesday would be a good opportunity for them to provide testify before his committee as well. Instead, once again the university chose not to do so, saying that it would wait until after the contract receives its final ratification on March 20.
"Initially they said they wanted to wait until after the professors ratified it (on March 6)," Rep. McMillin said. "So we waited. Now they say they want to wait again. It's an old legislative tactic, when you don't want to do something you just delay.
"They're saying wait until later, but they have their hands out right now for state appropriations," Rep. McMillin continued. "If this is such a good contract, the best way they could prove it would be to testify. I think they're just being evasive."

How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. It's your turn to identify the violation.
Hint: Can you feel the power?
Find the Answer
The blue and white wires in Photo 1 (above) are the 120V branch circuit wires feeding power to this fire alarm panel. The red cables are power-limited fire alarm circuit cables. According to 760.136(A), "Power-limited fire alarm circuit cables and conductors shall not be placed in any cable, cable tray, compartment, enclosure, manhole, outlet box, device box, raceway, or similar fitting with conductors of electric light, power, Class 1, non–power-limited fire alarm circuits, and medium-power network-powered broadband communications circuits unless permitted by 760.136(B) through (G)." According to 760.136(B) and (C), methods to permit both types of circuits in the same enclosure include keeping them separated by a barrier or by installing a raceway within the enclosure to keep the two types of circuits from contacting each other.
Photo 2 (above) clearly shows that there is no separation between the two types of circuits. The blue and white power wires are actually in contact with the fire alarm circuit conductors. This is a violation of Sec. 760.133(D). The power-limited conductors are permitted in the same enclosure with the power conductors, because both sets of conductors connect to the same fire alarm equipment; however there should be at least ¼ in. separation from the conductors and cables of power-limited fire alarm circuits and the branch circuit power wires.

Boeing is sticking with plans to speed up production of its 787 and sees no reason to change the lithium-ion battery design at the center of the troubled plane's problems, CEO Jim McNerney, said Wednesday.
Boeing's full-speed-ahead approach comes even as it became clear that airlines were replacing 787 batteries more often than Boeing had expected. A fire and emergency landing earlier this month, both involving the batteries, prompted regulators to ground Boeing's newest and highest-profile plane.
Airlines have been replacing 787 batteries at a rate that's "slightly higher" than Boeing had expected, McNerney said. None of the replacements have been for safety concerns, he said, and he noted that replacing batteries in planes is not uncommon.
U.S. aviation officials said they have asked Boeing for a full operating history of the batteries on the 787s.
Boeing is still building 787s even though it has halted deliveries to customers. It still aims to deliver at least 60 of the planes in 2013, and it's on track to speed up production from five per month now to 10 per month by year end, McNerney said.
All big planes – and especially the 787 – are assembled from parts from suppliers all over the world, into large sections at various facilities in the U.S., and finally by Boeing into a finished airplane. Speeding up or slowing down that process is complicated and takes months or years of advance warning to suppliers.
Asked what the 787 suppliers are being told, McNerney said, "No instructions to slow down, business as usual, and let's keep building airplanes and then let's ramp up as we'd planned."
Boeing said it expects to deliver 635 to 645 commercial jets this year, up from 601 last year. The 46 787s that Boeing shipped to customers in 2012 helped it deliver more planes than European rival Airbus for the first time since 2003. Airbus expects to deliver more than 600 planes this year.
Boeing said it earned $3.9 billion, or $5.11 per share, last year, a 3 percent decline from 2011. But revenue rose 19 percent to $81.7 billion. It predicted 2013 earnings of $5 to $5.20 per share, with revenue of $82 billion to $85 billion. The outlook assumes "no significant financial impact" from the 787 being out of service.
Last year's deliveries of the 787 as well as its revamped 747-8 brought in cash – the 787 lists for more than $200 million each – but they actually hurt profits because the planes cost more to build than what Boeing collects. Profit margins for commercial planes shrank slightly, even as the division's revenue rose 36 percent to $49.13 billion, and profits rose 35 percent to $4.11 billion.
Boeing is also dealing with declining profits in its defense and space business. Defense profits fell 3 percent to $3.07 billion in 2012, including a 13 percent drop in the fourth quarter. Defense revenue rose 2 percent to $32.61 billion, but profit margins declined.
Investigators are still trying to find out what caused the two battery incidents that grounded the 787. But McNerney said the company has learned nothing that makes him think they made a mistake in picking lithium-ion batteries. The 787 was the first plane to use the batteries so extensively. Boeing liked them because they charge quickly and hold more power than other batteries of the same weight.
The company declined to say how many of the batteries have been replaced. But Japan's All Nippon Airways said it had replaced batteries some 10 times because they didn't keep a charge properly or connections with electrical systems failed. Japan Airlines also said it had replaced some 787 batteries.
Shares of Chicago-based Boeing rose 88 cents to $74.53 in afternoon trading.

Preromanesque pluteus
The recent discovery of the pre-Romanesque baluster (pluteus - the wall panels, fence) uncovered the ancient roots Njivica.Do discovery baluster founding Njivica tied with the 1474th Njivice year when first mentioned in the deed of Krk Prince Frankopana that this document was part of his estate donated Nicholas Loncaric, both from him asking for a guarantee that they will take care of the St. Mary of the Nativity (today the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary) and the service of God.Pluteus proved that Njivice incurred before 15 century. Specifically, pluteus originally belonged to the church, whose location is not known, but it is known that in this church shared space Presbytery of space vjernike.Na pluteus are four sections divided threefold ribbons in the first two, there is a motive dove and cross. The decorations on the pluteus typically Preromanesque so it is assumed that the church in which he originally stood pluteus also from that time (11th century).Moreover, the church had to be built somewhere near the present-day, as indicated by the recently discovered ancient finds from the surrounding area. This in turn suggests that Njivice and probably has ancient korijene.Plutej now kept in the parish church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in which it is exposed. .
Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The present church was built in 1905 on the site of the former chapel of St. Mary of the Nativity, which was owned Frankopan counts. In the sacristy of the church preserves altarpiece from the 1586th according to which the painter John Volarić by those on the main altar. Sanctuary with the Council's altar to the people governed in 1978. year, according to the draft about Vincent Medical School, and at the initiative of local priest priest Joseph Jurjevic. In 1996.completed a thorough restoration of church interiors and exteriors. The church also contains Preromanesque pluteus whose discovery pointed to the ancient roots Njivica. .
Recreational riding
Near Njivica (at the turn), you have the option of recreational jahanja.Kako for riders with experience and those without experience, with a guide in a confined space is also an opportunity to get to know one specific side of the island and the trees ..
Fulfinum Mirine
The ancient city, and early Christian complex in the bay near Sepen Njivica and Omisalj.
In Sepen bay on the island near Omišalj, was built in the first century AD The newly planned, the ancient Roman city Fulfinum for veterans Flavian emperors. Municipium Flavium Fulfinum realized by then uhodanoj urban scheme: the flat area the grid communications.
Maritime suitable bays secured a well-protected harbor, a fertile field with an abundance of water surface of participation in the life of classical antiquity. City owned all the basic assumptions to this way of life, a forum with the Capitol and the city's basilica, port installations with commercial fourth by the sea, spa, communication with suburban cemeteries and two water phases. During the decline of ancient civilizations Fulfinum was probably one of the first casualties. Conceived as a top city civilization achievements, open and loving, sensitive to the least impact in the standard of urban life, which brings uncertainty of late antiquity, who welcomed her loch along with his anthropomorphic creator. However, as is the emergence and disappearance of a city, like people, have their own fate, he lost those reflections that are reflected in the metamorphosis of form and spirit, life continued in the design of new debris.

Every once in awhile a security exploit comes along that gives you cause to be a little more careful than usual when on the computer. Recently a Java zero-day exploit was discovered that has the potential to, among other things, slave your computer to a botnet. The vulnerability will no doubt be fixed soon, but in the mean time you should take the necessary precautions. The easiest thing you can do in this situation is to just disable the Java plugin on your browser. Any and every browser is possibly vulnerable, so we put together a list of how to do this on each of the major browsers.
Internet Explorer 9
For modern versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, all you will need to do is click on the gear icon just under the X in the top right and select Internet Options from the menu that will appear. The window that pops up will have seven tabs across the top. Look for the Programs tab to the far right of the page. The second option on the page that will appear includes a button that says Manage add-ons. Clicking this will open a third window listing all of the add-ons you currently have.
Scroll down in this list until you see Java(tm) Plug-In. You will likely see it listed twice. Next to the name it will list the Status. If the status is Disabled, you don't need to do anything. If the Status is enabled, click the add-on. A new field will appear below that prompts you to disable the plugin. Click Disable for each of the Java add-ons and close all of the Internet Explorer windows.
There are no current examples of this exploit targeting OS X, but it would be possible for it to do so. To disable Java on Safari click the settings icon on the top panel of Safari to pop up the Settings menu. From the row of icons that appear across the top, select the padlock icon labeled Security. Under the Web content settings, make sure that Enable Java is unchecked. If the box is already unchecked, you don't need to do anything else. If the box needs to be unchecked, restart Safari after you uncheck the box.
Click on the Home icon at the top right of Firefox to be taken to the main Firefox menu. At the bottom of this page you will see the Settings icon. Clicking this will pop open the Options menu. At the bottom of the General Options you will see Manage Add-ons. Click this to pop open the add-ons menu. Click the Plugins tab on the left hand side to be shown all of the current and active plugins. Scroll down this list until you see the Java(TM) Platform SE 7 U4 plugin. Click Disable to stop this plugin, and if it is already disabled than close this window.
From anywhere in chrome click on the URL bar at the top and type in chrome://settings/content and press Enter. Chrome will take you straight to the content settings for the browser. scroll down until you find Plug-ins. From here you can choose Click to play, Block all, or Disable individual plug-ins. Any of these three would be acceptable solutions, but for the sake of completion let's click on Deisable individual plug-ins.
Locate the Java plugin from the list and make sure the add-on is disabled. If it is already disabled, close this tab and continue browsing. If you have to disable the add-on, restart Chrome entirely.
Over the next few days, whenever this vulnerability is resolved, your browser will notify you of an update that will fix this issue. In some cases, while we wait for a fix, some browsers may take measures to keep you protected. Read every pop up or warning that comes from your browser until this vulnerability has been fixed. Keep your browser as up to date as possible, and if you use antivirus software make sure you are running it regularly.

Christian Humanism by Paris Reidhead God's Judgment and America's only Hope!
About commenting: Chances are there will be times when we can not understand the tone of one another for the simple fact of not being able to hear another's voice. Even so, if I find you rude and antagonistic, your comment may not get posted. If I do post your comment in spite of any nastiness, I will not play games with you. If you give me an attitude, you might get one back. Contrary to popular belief, Christianity is NOT rolling over and letting people walk all over them for the sake of "peace." If you want to come here merely for the chance to rudely attack the people here or any beliefs, then please go somewhere else.
I may or may not "turn the other cheek" here. When the truth is at stake, I find it hard to compromise by being silent for the sake of a fake "peace." I will not let you get by acting like a jerk with insults directed towards me, the readers of this blog or this blog.
If your comment is not relevant to a post, chances are it will not get posted. If you want to leave me something that is vulgar, it gets trashed. Spamming me will get you no where. Leaving me a "comment" (argumentative or otherwise) that is two, three, four pages long will not go up.
If you want to disagree with a post, fine. But if there are plenty of comments on that particular issue that have already addressed that subject, do not leave a comment expecting me to put it up. I will not.
If you come here to just leave a link, it will not be posted unless we already "know" one another. If a link is not relevant to the subject at hand, it will not go up. If I don't like where the link leads, it will not go up.
Do not use text message code or whatever it is some of you do, as a way to communicate with me. I will not post your comment if you do this. I will not spend time trying to decode whatever it is you are trying to say.
If you try to defend what I believe is deceitful, wicked, sinful and wrong, your comment will not go up.
I will not spend my energy defending my positions on what I already strongly believe. Chances are you will not change my mind and I will not be able to change yours. So peace to you as you leave this place.
This is my little place in the universe. You are welcome here if you are civil. This is my turf, my place. Please remember that.

Thane - Sins of the Father part 2
Walkthrough - Thane - Sins of the Father part 2
Take Captain Bailey's advice, and head over to the Dark Star Lounge, a bustling section of the Citadel. If you take a look at the map, you can find the Dark Star Lounge in the southeast corner of the Citadel. As you approach the entrance to the club, you'll spot the character you're looking for, a male human named Mouse (he should be standing almost directly where the Comm Terminal arrow is on the map, north of the club). When you speak with him, he'll recognize Thane almost instantly, though he refers to him as Krios. Mouse was a poor kid from the Citadel who survived long enough to make a name for himself, mostly as an informant and middleman. Thane jumps to the point with Mouse, asking him about a fellow Krell (his son) who recently asked for work. Mouse said the Krell identified himself as someone who knew Thane, so he got him some work. Eventually, he gives up a name. In return, you can guarantee him protection and anonymity from any possible reprisal.
With the information Mouse gave you now garnered, why not head back to C-Sec? From there, you can run the name by your friend, Captain Bailey. When you tell Captain Bailey about who you're looking for, a human male by the name of Elias Kelham, Captain Bailey will be taken aback. He's forthwith about why, though. Kelham is a well-known crook around the Citadel, and is always into something bad. To alleviate any headaches Bailey might have in dealing with him, he's agreed to let Kelham pay him off. In return, the two leave each other alone. Unfortunately for Bailey, Shepard and Thane aren't having any of it. Bailey figures out a work-around to bring Kelham in for interrogation, while not giving himself up as the person who did so. And just like that, you see Kelham getting dragged in to a nearby room. If you were wondering what that sealed door was next to the entrance into the Citadel, well, now you know.
Now, it's time to interrogate Elias Kelham. You have to be quick about it, because Bailey is doing everything he can to stall Kelham's advocate (lawyer) from entering the room. No worries, though -- the game goes about things automatically, though you'll figure out a way through this conversation, one way or another. If you chose to be the bad cop (to Thane's good cop), which we did, you'll get plenty of chances during the course of the stalled interrogation to beat Elias via Renegade quicktime options, though Paragons will want to resist the urge to strike him all together. Elias won't be forthcoming with information at first, primarily because he doesn't trust that this conversation is off the record. Paragons and Renegades should both have ways to convince him to speak up, however. When his advocate finally gets into the room, it shouldn't take Thane and Shepard much longer to make both him and his representative see things your way. Either Kelham talks now, or he can talk in a court of law. It's entirely up to him. Obviously, he makes the right decision.
Elias Kelham indicates that he hired Kolyat, Thane's son, to assassinate an anti-human politician by the name of Joram Talid. Talid is a Turian running for an important office as a representative of one of the Citadel's wards, but Kolyat can't be too far off in finding his mark and finishing the deal. Following your conversation with Kelham, you walk off, leaving him be (as promised). When you meet up with Bailey back outside of the interrogation room, he'll arrange for you to be brought to the appropriate section of the Citadel, where Joram Talid can be found. When you arrive at your destination, Thane explains to Shepard the plan. Shepard will remain on the catwalks overlooking the ward, keeping an eye out on Talid, and his red-armored Krogan guard. Meanwhile, Thane will hide in the shadows, looking for his son before his son pulls the trigger and makes a grave error in judgment.

It's been just over a month since two girls from Dayton, Iowa were abducted near their bus stop - allegedly by a convicted sex offender who'd served nearly two decades in prison. Authorities say Michael Klunder abducted the girls and committed suicide later that day.
The fact that Klunder was free at all has prompted questions about how sex offenders are evaluated, treated and monitored.
This story begins a summer series examining Iowa's correctional system.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Shares of Gentiva Health Services Inc. rallied in Monday's after hours as Kindred Healthcare Inc. sweetened its offer for the home health and hospice company.
Kindred said it is now offering to buy Gentiva at $14.50 a share, half a dollar more than the $14 a share it had previously proposed. The latest bid brings the value of the deal to $573 million although the total package could reach as much as $1.7 billion if debt is included. Shares of Gentiva US:GTIV rose 4.7% in after-hours trading while Kindred US:KND shares slid 3.3%.
Shares of General Motors Co. GM, -1.09% were mostly flat in extended trading, shrugging off the news of a new round of recalls. The auto maker said late Monday that it is recalling 3.3 million additional cars to replace ignition keys. The Wall Street Journal reported that GM will take a $700 million charge in the second quarter for this latest recall.
Restoration Hardware Holdings Inc. RH, -0.29% plans to offer $300 million convertible senior notes due in 2019 in a private placement. The funds will be used to pay down debt with high interest rates and strengthen its balance sheet, the home-furnishings retailer said. Shares were little changed in after hours.
Williams Cos. WMB, -0.40% said late Monday it will offer $3 billion in common shares to raise capital to fund its investment in Access Midstream Partners LP. Earlier, Williams said it will buy the remaining stake in Access that it doesn't already own for $6 billion. Shares of Williams fell 0.7% in after-hours trading.

How to Market Your Invention
Do some thorough research about marketing your invention because whether you, or someone else, decide to produce, distribute and market your invention, the success of your idea is only as good as your marketing plan. A good product successfully marketed is worth more than a great product poorly marketed.
Going to market
You have three choices on how to bring your product to market:
You do everything — manufacture, market, and sell.
You subcontract the manufacturing and concentrate on marketing and selling your invention.
You license your intellectual property rights to a company that arranges the manufacturing, marketing, and selling aspects and pays you a royalty (a percentage on each unit sold).
Planning your marketing strategy
To paraphrase Thomas Edison, "I'm not going to invent anything unless it will sell." You can create the greatest invention in the world, but unless the world knows about it, what difference does it make? The way to make a difference is through creative marketing and advertising efforts. Some marketing tips:
Find out as much about the industry your product sells in as you can. Educate yourself about wholesalers and distributors, manufacturers, and competition.
Use every resource you have for assistance, including the Internet, the Small Business Association, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, local college and university business schools, and inventor organizations.
Let the customer drive your product. Find out what customers like and — even more important — don't like about your invention and try to accommodate their preferences.
Likewise, realize that the customer determines the price of your product. You charge what the customer will pay and work out your profit margins from that.
Most importantly, once you have customers, pay attention to them.

McAfee has released the McAfee Labs Threats Report: May 2015. For the first time ever, we explore attacks on firmware. We also highlight the emergence of new families of ransomware and exploits to Adobe Flash vulnerabilities. Key topics include:
- A surge in powerful and clever ransomware encrypts files and holds them hostage until the ransom is paid.
- New Adobe Flash exploits target the growing number of vulnerabilities that have not been patched by users.
- Persistent and virtually undetectable attacks by the Equation Group that reprogram hard disk drives and solid state drive firmware.
The Equation Group: exploiting hard disk and solid state drive firmware
In February, news broke about a rare but extremely sophisticated attack campaign. The Equation Group, named for their affinity for complex encryption schemes, is thought to be behind the attacks. The most alarming discovery is that the Equation Group's malware includes hard disk drive and solid state drive reprogramming modules. Once reprogrammed, a compromised system remains infected even if the hard drive is reformatted or the operating system is reinstalled. Further, the reprogrammed firmware and associated malware are undetectable by security software. This marks the first time in a Threats Report that McAfee Labs has examined a firmware-based attack.
We also focus on two familiar faces—ransomware and Adobe Flash exploits—because McAfee Labs saw massive increases in new samples this quarter from both types of threat.
Ransomware returns: new families emerge with a vengeance
For ransomware, we attribute much of its growth to a new, hard-to-detect ransomware family—CTB-Locker—and its use of an "affiliate" program to quickly flood the market with phishing campaigns, leading to CTB-Locker infections. With the newly discovered Tox malware, an off-the-shelf application that lets users build their own ransomware, we expect ransomware to continue its meteoric rise.
Adobe Flash: a favorite of designers and cybercriminals
McAfee Labs attributes the rise in Flash exploits to the steady increase in the number of Flash vulnerabilities; user and enterprise delay in the application of software patches for those vulnerabilities; new, creative methods to exploit them; a steep increase in the number of mobile devices that can play Flash .swf files; and the difficulty of detecting Flash exploits.
For more information on these and other topics, read the McAfee Labs Threats Report: May 2015.
