Health Commissioner Hails CVS
Dear Editor: I was delighted by the decision of CVS Caremark Corporation that they will stop selling tobacco products in all of their pharmacies. Several months ago I failed to convince a sufficient number of our legislators about the merits of a legislative ban.

Luxury Portugal Holidays 2017, 2018
From enviable beaches and eclectic architecture to quaint fishing villages and famous vineyards, Portugal is a culture-rich country brimming with old world charm. Lisbon, drizzled across seven hills, is Europe's oldest city. Alongside Roman stones and medieval convents, it sports exquisite tile work on every corner: rich with a history of exploration and discovery, many buildings and monuments reflect its maritime past. Contemporary Lisbon can be described as both cosmopolitan and quaint, where modern architecture blends in with ancient monuments and a zest for life is reflected in an insatiable appetite for music and nightlife.
The World Heritage Site of the Douro Valley is as spectacular as it is tasty: with vertiginous riverbanks sculpted by centuries of vineyard cultivation, the world's oldest wine producing region is also the home of famous port. Nearby Lamego pours stunning architecture into the bottle with its 12th-century castle, Gothic cathedral and Renaissance and Baroque mansion.
Porto, the country's second largest city, is a tightly-clustered assortment of colourful tumbledown houses, soaring bell towers and stately Baroque churches, connected by a winding network of narrow streets and zigzagging staircases which emerge in pretty, sun-drenched plazas.
Portugal's best-known holiday region is the Algarve, famous for its
year-round championship golf courses, lively social scenes and beaches
that range from broad swathes of golden sand to small and sheltered
coves. Despite its popularity the area has retained its local charm.
Portugal with A&K
Portugal's generous hand of attractions, from surf-lashed Atlantic beaches to the wonderful city architecture and world famous vineyards has always delighted our returning guests. But that very diversity makes it more important to place your travel in expert, experienced hands, who can seamlessly combine some or all of the country's highlights - and that means A&K.
Our European team has provided luxury travel to every corner of the continent for over 25 years with knowledgeable staff, long established contacts and superb multilingual guides. They offer you unique insight and access from tours with historians, artists and botanists to gourmet cooking lessons. There's an awful lot to Portugal, and with A&K it's all possible.
Useful info
Best time to be there
Spring and autumn are the most pleasant times to visit. July and August can be very hot, especially in the sheltered bays of the
Algarve in the south, though this region is especially pleasant and mild during the winter months. Madeira and the Azores benefit from the warming influence of the Gulf Stream, so can be visited year round.

I'm sitting in an apartment in the neighbourhood locals call El Barrio and non-Spanish speakers label Spanish Harlem. Those who've lived here long enough to justify the shortening say "Spa Ha". The incessant tooting of frustrated commuters pierces the room. It's a large apartment by New York standards - the bathroom's so small you have to sit sideways on the toilet to shut the door, but the kitchen's huge and airy and a separate but sizeable bedroom-cum-lounge looks down on a greengrocer, a jeweller and a fish market. We're living marae styles with a friend who's good enough to put up with us for the next nine days. Here is New York!
Is there any other city in the world we all know so well? I've watched it on the big screen (welcome to Gotham city) listened to it, read it, laughed at it (RIP Friends, welcome How I Met Your Mother) and hankered after its fashion sense forever. Walking around it is to experience a bizarre and prolonged sense of deja vu. As crowds surged and police helicopters hummed up and down the Hudson River during the 4th of July fireworks display, I turned to my friend Jack: "this is like a scene from Independence Day." "Ya think?" he replied.
When we got home Ted pleaded with me to turn off my New York soundtrack. It's made up of two tunes and I'd been thrashing it since we crossed into Manhattan over the Brooklyn Bridge. I pushed the button on the self-proclaimed "new Sinatra" Jay Z as soon as we turned the corner to see Lady Liberty standing regal over her iconic skyline. My eyes welled and my life peaked as the man himself, Frank, led me over the water and into NEW YORK CITY.
I've become addicted to listening to the two of them tell me "if I can make it here I can make it anywhere", while I roam the streets and contemplate ways to rig the green card ballot. Yup, here's another city in which I want to live. I contemplated branching out and adding Lady Gaga and Beyonce to the mix when I gazed at the roof of Grand Central Station, but I decided to remain a purist.
What do you think a true New York experience should be? I reckon it should include shopping (I shall dedicate a post to that next week) and getting mixed up in crazed Manhattan traffic. It's difficult to understand why New Yorkers choose to raise their blood pressure to untenable levels by hopping in a car. New York has one of the best public transport systems in the world, for goodness' sake! But I'd watched enough cab honking, brake slamming and pedestrian bonnet banging to know that I had to get among it. And Ted needed the challenge of driving downtown during rush hour.
When you're tooted at for waiting too long on a green anywhere else in the world, you scream an indignant "patience" or something equally polite (the best call I've heard was from a bus driver in New Orleans was: "use your licence".) When horns blared at us here (multiple times), we giggled at one another: "OMG, we just got honked at in New York City." We'd passed our rite of passage in the international city of road rage.

I am so jealous NYC is my most favorite city in the world! Ditch the Car TED and travel everywhere in Manhattan by foot its the best way to see it. And get lost you never know what you will discover trying to find your way!
I did the whole carriage ride around central park, ice skating IN central park, broadway etc. Such a fantastic city, and I wish I had more than 2 days to enjoy it all. One thing I will point out, is Serendipity is not a great restaurant. We were told to go there for dinner because of how wonderful it is... yea, not so much. The waiter was rude, tried to get dessert orders when we were half way through our meals (I think it's more famous for its super huge desserts than anything else.) However, the bar across the road was awesome! haha. Oh and note that the statue of liberty has full airport security to get on the boat, and again to get up the statue, and buy your tickets in advance, because otherwise you will be waiting in line all day (we bought advance tickets and still waited 2.5 hours to get on the boat.)
The tooting on a green light thing - NY drivers are mega impatient. Our shuttle driver (from the airport) was honking madly at the cars in front of us at a green light (and the driver behind was honking at us), but when the intersection is blocked at the other side - where else are you supposed to? Taxi cabs also nearly try to run you over crossing the road WHILE ON A CROSS SIGNAL!
Such an amazing insight to a city that never sleeps. I look forward to hearing more. One day I vow to go there and live it up large...but for now I shall live vicariously through you.
The trick to seeing the sights like Statue of Liberty & Empire State without having to wait for hours, is to see them first thing in the morning. We got to the ferry for Liberty for the second sailing - 10 minute wait thru security and a run for the boat - by the the time we got back, the line was huge. Same with Empire - got there around 8.30am. No wait. Hubby had seen the lines the day before at mid-afternoon. They were around the block.
Carnegie Deli, and get the Woody Allen.
Can't believe you took on driving in NYC!!! Very courageous of you. I went to NYC with a couple of girlfriends...we too wanted to move there within the first hour of arriving. Buy some 7 Jeans...so much cheaper..and go to a show on Broadway.

On May 19, 2014, Google announced that it is acquiring containerization and dual persona vendor Divide. Divide's technology is designed to create a security and user interface division between the personal and the enterprise content, applications, and data on a single mobile device. This model meets the goal of separating the highly sensitive work data from the games and other potentially malicious content of a consumer nature. The big question is what is Google going to do now that it owns a technology leading containerizaiton play.
Selling Divide as a standalone solution isn't going to be lucrative enough, in the long term, to make the acquisition worthwhile. It makes a whole lot of sense for Google to embed Divide into the Android operating system. Just as rising tides raise all ships, containerization in Android will help the entire Android ecosystem shed the market perception of a technology that isn't quite yet enterprise appropriate. If this acquisition is any indication, Google has just put some power behind its push into the enterprise market and I don't expect it to subside any time soon.
All enterprises and vendors in the mobile security space should reconsider their future purchases and road maps based on this acquisition. Even if you are creating or buying mobile security technologies that don't play at the application layer, mobile security technologies are inseparably intertwined and this acquisition will have ripple effects that must be considered.
Read more in my full report here: Google Acquires Divide And Shakes Up The Mobile Security Landscape.

If you have implemented or used either application wrapping or containerization technologies, please COMPLETE THIS SURVEY.
Application wrapping versus containerization: Which technology provides better security to an enterprise mobile deployment? What are the use cases for each technology, and which technology has a longer shelf life when it comes to being the de facto standard for enterprise mobile security? Are there times when containerization provides a better user experience than application wrapping? And more simply speaking . . . what the heck is the difference between these two technologies, and which one should you purchase?
In the sport of boxing, "the tale of the tape" is a term used to describe a comparison between two fighters. Typically, this comparison includes physical measurements of each fighter as taken by a tape measure before the bout, thus the term "the tale of the tape." I'm currently conducting research for a "tale of the tape" report between mobile containerization technologies and mobile application wrapping. There has been a significant amount of discussion lately regarding which of these technologies is better suited for enterprise deployment. In order to settle this dispute, I'm going to get out the virtual tape measure and analyze the fighters!

Jump straight to my latest Quick Take report: "S&R Pros Desperate To Ditch BlackBerry Should Rethink Their Strategy -- BlackBerry Finally Opens BB10 OS To Third-Party Management."
This morning, BlackBerry announced the release of the BlackBerry Z3 Jakarta Edition. This new device is targeting the lower end of the market in Indonesia with lessened technical specifications and a reduced price point. It is unclear if the new device will be successful with the Southeast Asian buyer; however, I don't think it matters much to the US-based enterprise.
In the United States, BlackBerry has lost its hardware brand cachet. Over the last five fiscal quarters, BlackBerry total revenue has decreased by 64% from $2.7B to $976M. If we break out the revenue into separate streams -- hardware, software, and services -- we see that all three segments slowed in that same time period. The hardware revenue stream continues to be the boat anchor that is pulling down the other revenue segment, with a loss of 78%, while the software revenue stream only lost 15%.

The BBC failed to cover any of the Israeli attacks which killed Palestinian civilians since the ceasefire, 'but the single rocket attack' from Gaza made the BBC's front-page, say FOA
Elham Asaad Buaras
The BBC failed to cover any of the Israeli attacks which killed Palestinian civilians since the ceasefire, 'but the single rocket attack' from Gaza made the BBC's front-page, say FOA
The BBC has been accused of pro-Israeli coverage of the violations of the November 2012 ceasefire between Hamas and Israel.
Friends of Al-Aqsa made the accusation after an attack from Gaza into Ashkelon, southern Israel, last month was allotted a BBC online front page while a series of killings, kidnappings and incursions in the Occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip by Israel since the ceasefire went unreported.
The BBC reported al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade attack on February 26 as "the first such attack since shortly after a ceasefire ended eight days of clashes in November."
Friends of Al-Aqsa accused the BBC of "selective reporting" of events which portrays the Palestinians as the first to violate the ceasefire agreement.
According to the ceasefire agreements which ended Operation Pillar of Defence, Israel had undertaken not to launch any attacks on Gaza – by land, sea or air – and to stop the assassinations of the heads of Palestinian militant groups and not invade any Palestinian-held land.
Friends of Al-Aqsa say the BBC omitted to report on the Israeli Defence Force's (IDF) killing of ten Palestinians or the over 100 military incursions into the Gaza Strip since ceasefire agreement on November, 21, 2012.
Friends of Al-Aqsa say the Corporation failed to cover any of the daily Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians in Gaza since the ceasefire, "but the single rocket attack" from Gaza made the BBC's front-page.
According to the group the BBC has "abysmally failed" to report that Israel has killed ten Palestinians and wounded 91 in Gaza and wounded over 600 in the West Bank, since the November ceasefire.
Friends of Al-Aqsa also say the BBC did not report that Israel had "conducted over 100 military incursions in to the Gaza Strip", or cover the "over 63 incidents when the army used live fire against civilians" or the "40 attacks by Israeli naval boats on Gaza fishermen" since the ceasefire.
Friends of Al-Aqsa condemnation of the BBC coverage is supported by the latest report by the Ahrar Centre for Detainees Studies and Human Rights which says Israel kidnapped 382 Palestinians, including 10 women, political leaders and three elected legislators last month.
Ahrar said that the arrests in different parts of the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip in February witnessed a sharp increase comparing to January when the Israeli army kidnapped 350 Palestinians.
A BBC spokesperson said they were "satisfied" their coverage of events in Gaza and Israel "is balanced, fair, accurate and impartial" but failed to tell The Muslim News why none of the over 100 post-ceasefire incidents of Israeli aggression did not warrant coverage.
The February rocket attack also prompted the UK's Minister for the Middle East, Alistair Burt to voice his "concern" over "the first such incident since a ceasefire."
"We have consistently condemned the indiscriminate firing of rockets into Israel in violation of international humanitarian law. I call on both parties to respect in full the November ceasefire."
He also urged them to "take advantage of the continuing talks brokered by Egypt to resolve the outstanding issues of ending arms smuggling and improving access of goods and people to relieve the suffering of the people of Gaza. The calm since November has been welcome: it should be built upon, not reversed."
The Foreign Office defended its one-sided condemnation of the attack insisting: "The principal reason for issuing the statement was our concern that the rocket attack, if repeated, may lead to an unravelling of the ceasefire."
He told The Muslim News the Foreign Office "regularly" raises their concerns over Israeli actions but does so "privately in our contacts with the Israeli authorities. We cannot do the same with our concerns over actions by Hamas and other militant groups as we do not have contacts with them."

UCLA treatment for scabiesj

Now can't find it please, help me guys. Thanks
#2 Jan 31, 2013
Ok, I've found enough of the old threads to copy & paste to take with me to UCLA tomorrow - whether they are true or from Syria. Getting seen there, requires me to show up at 6 am, because I had to refer myself there. My doc won't refer me because she would have to disclose that I self-medicated with Comfortis. More on that later. Meanwhile,UCLA Harbor City will only see me if I go through the ER and I can't make an appointment no matter what insurance I have. Thus 6 am. Try to keep you posted.

ER was a zoo. Took 9 hours to be seen by aTriage Nurse. Scared him good with my rashes & my thorough type written records.(LOL)
Go back tomorrow at 8 am for Urgent Care w/ a Doc. No cell signal in hospital, otherwise would post you...
Having my doubts already about The THREE Experts seeing 'Cured for Life', we will see....
#5 Feb 2, 2013
The UCLA medical treatment was baloney posted by Cured For Life , it's expensive and didn't work for anyone.
#6 Feb 2, 2013
Uncle Sam I believe you're right. I found the original article written by a doc in Syria. I have good insurance & my GP, ID & Derm all see that I've had multi Iver & multi Perm 5%, Lindane & Eurax- so they said go to a Teaching Hospital where they have time to help you.

#9 Feb 2, 2013
I'm sorry you're going through so much... All I have to offer is my own personal experience... Have you had a biopsy or skin scraping that definitively shows scabies? We thought we were battling scabies or some sort of resistant sarcoptic mite for the first two months... Until I purchased a microscope and started viewing everything with that... I found that we had a springtail infestation... Not sure if it was just springtails all along or what... You really have to find out exactly what you're dealing with in order to get rid of the scourge... We are still not completely out of the woods, but things have improved drastically. I posted just about everything under the springtails/collembola thread... Please let me know if I can help...
#10 Feb 2, 2013
Thanks Shelly. I read about springtails, ouch. I would have hoped that all of the DE I spread every where and even in my shoes, would make a difference,as they like it moist. So do the scabies...
I lost my jeweler's loop and can't get my son's microscope to work, so need to buy one for myself, obvously. Thanks for the reminder. I do have two specimens with legs & head/body.
My latest "pro" skin scraping was a farce, she didn't use mineral oil and walked across the exam room with the loose flakes flying off the spatula on the way to the Petri dish. Ick. Yah, my insurance paid, but any of us could have done better.
Please, I ask everyone here to please help me to say the right thing to the Derm Dept at UCLA, in the first three minutes of their attention span.#1, I want them to keep me in the hospital for days and treat me. I'm so worn out from mega laundry, showering, medicating & trying to be a parent & run my firm. I feel like I'm radioactive. You know, you've been there.#2, give me the custom meds & the out-of-the-box treatment to be done with this.
As Fred pointed out, we can't get all of the proper chemicals to replicate the what the Docs can do. My private practice Docs won't take the time to think past what it says in the PDR, for anyone, as it's not billable.
Thanks again everyone. 6 months and really depressed...

Is there anyone in our "community" who has or wants to make an "outlet" for supplies that work? I spend a lot of time going to Feed Stores, but can't get it all there. A few things that California restricts that I know can be easily had in the Midwest, OTC. For example, lots of Sardix II, cheap injectible, paste & pourable Iver there. If I ever get better, I hope to help others with some tangible resources.
Sydney, Australia
#12 Feb 2, 2013
This is how it should be done. Cure them ONCE and FOR ALL and to STOP SPREADING- yay. But... will it happen?
I'd be interested in helping to set something up if someone had the wherewithal. Live in Aus but pc literate, can set up websites etc. Either referral/help/support service or selling the good meds. Horse iver and dog meds can all be sold OTC here. Perm 5% cream only in OTC in chemists but dog perm and horse iver OTC in pet stores. DE can also be sold anywhere.
But- get this- human iver CANNOT be prescribed for any reason whatsoever- extremely frustrating and contrary. Also very weird because Australia did the experiments with human iver and said it should be first line treatment. Another example of stopping effective medication to the masses- why?

#13 Feb 2, 2013
We have mines here in New Mexico that have the Food Grade DE & by the 50lb bag it's a great deal. Yes, we have the vet products too. We'll have to compare detailed notes, someday.
Here in the states, we have Permethrin resistant mites, but in Australia, you guys officially admit it. Too bad.
We'll compare OTC's later, I need to go be a parent.

Hi Charlie... We are at the six month mark, too... And trying to move forward. Quite scary since we still have a few stragglers in the house... You know, I've found that PA's (physician assistants) are a whole lot more willing to help than doctors... Especially the experts. The absolute worst doctor I saw was the "mite expert"... Bragged about speaking all over the world and claimed that half the residents thought they were infested with parasites after hearing him speak. Give me a break. A real doucher. Try a doctors office with multiple doctors, but make a same day appointment with a PA if you can... Or try a minor emergency clinic on a busy night... So they won't feel like arguing... Try to stay calm... Keep it simple. Tell them you've been dealing with scabies and that the topicals aren't working. You need stromectol... If you think you've got a fungal infection (which is usually the result of all of the topicals), you might ask for antifungals instead. It's pretty hard to decipher the two because they can often feel the same... What are your symptoms, if you don't mind sharing??

I wouldn't order from India... Just me. Do you have a Tractor Supply or similar farm/feed store? I just tried to find one (there is one that a lot of people suggested on here somewhere previously) but I can't remember the name now... I'll keep looking for ya..

Hey Charlie, if your in Cali I don't know how far the boarder is from where you live, but I would take a road trip to Mexico and get the ivermectin pills. I had a friend get them for me. In Mexico the pills come in 6mg. (At least the ones I got) and you get 2 in a box for $6.00 US. It's about 6mg for every 60 pounds. Also the prem cream is about $10.00 per tube. They also have this lotion that is prem and it's easier to spread on your scalp. I would get a lot so you won't have to make the trip again. Or you can buy the animal iver that most people buy on the forum.

About MeThe name is Shannon. I'm 23 years old. I'm a "graduate" from John Casablancas Modeling and Career Center. I've always wanted to model and absolutely love being in front of the camera and I'm only 5'7'' but I can work a runway. Being the center of attention keeps me in my comfort zone. I've been involved in 3 photoshoots so far and was a model in the "Alterna" Hair Show in Ocean City MD in 2008. My plan is to hopefully find more work through MM. I have a 2 yr old little boy & feel like I'm healthier now (post pregnancy) then I've been my whole life. I currently weigh about 116 which very modest curves. I would love to show off me in my "new skin" You may contact me via MM if interested in working together. Thank you so much! XO

What feature would get you to pay for a membership.
I got an email from Chess.com today it asked me why a membership isnt worth it. This is one of my oppinions. Add your own. I know how hard everyone here works, adding features all of the time. But I think these suggestions should be taken more seriously than in other discussions because this is a true example of what would make more money for Chess.com
Here is my reply to their email:
"Many of the member features are slightly inaccessible on this site and offered free on other sites. For instance, Opening Explorer can be found free on 365chess.com. Its the same as yours, so why should I pay to use it. However, if the game explorer was linked to my actual games, so i could open the current position with one click, i would consider this a feature worth paying for.
Thanks, joetheplumber"
Membership helps the players to raise their levels
One member feature that I would like to have is the one with tournaments. (More player capacity, more options, ability to host more, ect.) Anyway, I can't become a member because I'm too young. No credit card, no job.
Well, you do not consider the major features of this site: tactics trainer and chess mentor. You might say that there are some others tactics trainers elsewhere. True (I tried them all I think) but this one is by far the best :)
No lag would get me to join, but I guess that's impossible.
No idiots, but that won't happen either.
As Costelus mentioned, those features as good - I am considering membership over the summer when I have more free time. Maybe you could do a 3 month membership package Eric?
While I like this site, it really has little to offer me that i don't already have. I prefer to play Blitz on ICC (better competition), my slow play is through ICCF and CCLA--the quality of player is higher.
The forums here are OK but many are dominated by silly (and repetitive threads). My feeling is most members here are not super serious about chess and are lower level players which is great as people should enjoy and learn the game but it offers little to me.
Tactics Trainer is fun and I use my three free tries a day but I have many tactical tools. Chess Mentor is a good program I have the DVD's but really not what I use to train.
So the answer in my mind is what value ifor my use does premium membership offer and my answer is little--even though I like the site.
I have played in one tournament so far which was fun but clearly it will take a long time for the next rounf as there is WAY too much vacation time allowed --also I notice people here play way too many games at once which also is not great for their game (or playing against them)--just my own personal thoughts and not a knock on the site at all.
Videos, GM simuls, interactive lessons/lectures, World Peace....

You are too young to do "odd jobs" ? Hmmmm......
I wanted to purchase a membership last week for openings explorer, but i wasn't too happy of the features i will get. maybe they should revise them, or not. Although the fee was not high, the single one that made sense to me was the higher, but it wasn't too attractive also.
Anyway, i will continue to play for free.
I look forward to supporting this site. I think Erik has done a fantastic job at building this site and listening to his users. All the great features of the site aside I think that a certain level of commitment to the community in which you serve should be rewarded regardless.
Plus, the fees are incredibly reasonable.
I got the good owl gold star to get away from the publicty, the tactics trainer, I never use, it would be good if I could over that to someone that would apreaciate it, eh?

We don't have a 3 month package per se, but you can certaily purchase a membership monthly, and stop it after three months.
Yeah I realised that Baseballfan!! Lol. I just meant that people might be more inclinded to buy a 3 month package if it has a small discount. My thinking was you appear (and I use that very losely) to have missed the niche market that is students. There is no way I will buy a membership for a year because it will be yet another distraction to stuyding. Given that I have 3-4 months off in the summer, I'd be more inclinded to buy a membership then, which is why I suggested coming up with some sort of 3-4 month package xD
to me membership was a way of saying thank you for developing
a great site.
the perks and features are icing on the cake
I hope you don't mind a question. I thought your comments were helpful, especially the comparisons with other sites, but it made me wonder -- since these other sites are better from your perspective than Chess.com, why are you here? I'm not suggesting you leave, only interested in hearing what it is that you like enough about the site to make it worth your time to be here. I only ask because I am not familiar with the other sites you mention, and am less serious a chess player than you are - so I value your opinion. Would you be willing to discuss what you like about this site?
purcellneil, i will answer that questionas it applies to me.
I like the slow chess here, and the great community that it is built around. The players are not so good here, so i fit in better. Its a user friendly site, but I find the memberships to include features I dont need and not those that I do. Why am I still here if its not what I want, because nobody does better, its a personal matter, but I dont think that there is a single chess site online worth paying for. Im hopng a couple of membership benifits will be changed and that I can take advantage of those.
Thanks, Joe. I like the community here too - and I like playing slower games too (allows me to play a little when I have time and come back later). I wasn't really challenging you or aansel (to whom my question was directed) - I just wanted to understand what he liked about the site (given that his comments made it seem like other sites were generally better). Just curious, and particularly interested because he seems to be deeper into chess than I am.
As for myself - I pay for a membership mainly to be able to use the Chess Mentor whenever and as much as I like. I'm in too many games right now to have time for it though...

Two years ago a revolution started within the EBI. We took a good, hard look at all of our interfaces, and decided to put our users at the centre of our design. The first fruits of this revolution are out today, as our fleet of websites is re-launched with a unified look and feel and consistent navigation. The "top" page is at www.ebi.ac.uk
What prompted the change?
Our users, of course! We do a lot of usability testing, but usually one resource at a time. When we began to systematically study the way people consume data from the EBI overall, we could see that both our regular and casual users were dipping in and taking little bits of data, rather than navigating deeper. Overall, most of the people using our services aren't aware than we have more than one database or tool (and if they were, they normally did not have enough time to going exploring). Our interfaces have been stopping people in their tracks of what users wanted – the very opposite of what we're trying to do – and at the same time not helping them broaden their perspective when they did have a coffee in their hand and spare 10 minutes.
The first part of our mission is enabling discovery. One of the most important things that we do is to make public data available to researchers – but it's almost just as important to make it accessible. The redesign hasn't been just about making things look better – the main reason we did it is to help scientists find the information they want, explore how biological objects are interconnected and take every opportunity to move their science forward.
Who needs philosophy, anyway?
It's hard to put a face to an 'EBI user', because each of our resources – not to mention the global site – aims to serve a different community. So one of the sea changes that occurred at the EBI two years ago was that we adopted a user-centred-design philosophy in our web development.
Yes, a philosophy. Honestly, I was really curmudgeonly about this at first. After all, who needs a fancy name for "listening to users"? And who needs all this wishy-washy stuff like making personas, comics and storyboards?
Well, actually, we did. We needed a single, simple, driving philosophy and every tool available to communicate clearly with one another and achieve consensus. If nothing else, adopting UX methods helped us get our web developers talking to one another – and believe me, that doesn't always happen naturally. We couldn't even think about giving our users a unified experience until we were all speaking the same visual language.
Test early, and test often
Involving users has to be done right, with observation rather than instruction, and it needs the guidance of user experience (UX) professionals. The kind of testing we did involved carefully setting out specific tasks, building scenarios (e.g., "You've just run an RNAi experiment and the top gene on your list is ASF1, and you'd like discover more about it using EBI services,"), and observing what happens, listening as the user talks about what they are seeing and what choices they're making. This has been very revealing.
We tested many potential designs using paper mock-ups (very low-fi), with someone playing the part of 'web server', swapping out drawings or web pages as the user 'navigates' by pointing at sketches of buttons or menus. It seems a bit comic at first – certainly the 'web server' might feel a bit silly – but it's effective and … strangely liberating. You can generate and feel happy to throw away lots of different test designs.
Eventually we got to the 'hi-fi' testing, using html pages, where the details start to become important. This requires a much bigger time investment, so it could be a bit of a flash point. It's easy to get attached to a design you put a lot of time into, and to cling to elements you particularly like. Testing a lo-fi version is easier for both the developer and the user, because it's about high-level layout (and things that don't work are easy to throw out). But at this point the iconography and presentation have to be just right, and the stakes are a bit higher.
So what did the users do? Sometimes they'd jump out to look at Google or Wikipedia (and we didn't say, "No, look over here! It's on the left!"), and sometimes they'd go where we'd hoped (i.e., "This looks interesting… I think I'll click here…"). A lot of their decisions to explore the site further were prompted by visuals (thumbnails, appealing icons). We went through a lot of layouts before we could see a clear path to consistent design.
One useful exercise to come out of this was the development of personas for each of our main areas. You can't always have a group of users on hand to test things, but having a name to put to a fictional type of user in any given scenario (i.e., "Joe would need more detail there,") gives a much-needed structure to on-going development processes. It helps people try to see things from the user perspective in a consistent way, any time a change is needed.
Big Brands, Little Brands
Although a lot of the work was focused on the deeper things (layout and content), we really grappled with visual flow. We were hearing criticism – from users and advisors alike – that EBI resources were 'poorly integrated'. Well, we had actually done a lot of integration between the resources so this was a bit puzzling. But when we dug a bit deeper we could see that the problem was really that the resources didn't offer a consistent experience – and some of this was the "boring" business of fonts, colours and layout. We know how that came about (many of our resources are developed with their own rhythm, often in collaboration with other institutes), but we don't need our users to be distracted by it.
We could have gone about changing this in a really naïve way, trying to force everyone to use, say, green, and to put a giant stripe of navigation along the side. But that would be counterproductive, and we'd lose all the ground each of the services had gained by doing their own user outreach. InterPro, ArrayExpress, PDBe: these names mean something to people, and their brands are important to the community they serve. So how to square it all?
The BBC comes to the EBI
The EBI has a huge amount of data to serve to a lot of different communities. Sound familiar? We took great inspiration from the BBC – another 'multi-brand' operation serving up different data types (radio, TV programmes, Web sites… ) to different audiences through different channels. Anyone who's lived in the UK can tell you there is a world difference between BBC Radio 1 (Music Radio for teenagers and 'young adults'). BBC Radio 5 (a.k.a. "Radio Bloke" – sports and music) and BBC 4 (more highbrow)
We were very fortunate to have Bronwyn Van Der Merwe come and talk to a big group of EBI developers about how the BBC went about revamping their sprawling website. They first set out to pinpoint how their customers knew that the websites for Doctor Who (a sci-fi TV programme with lots of episodes) and the shipping forecast (a very niche radio programme with a cult following in the UK) belonged to the same company. They wanted people to pay attention to the content but to sense somehow that it was BBC content, without having it shouted at them.
What they achieved was an interesting blend of strong individual brands (e.g. Doctor Who) and a unified, consistent identity. They became a real 'brand family'. Spend some time wandering around BBC websites and you will get this sense of continuity as you move between distinctly different sub-sites (news, weather, sport, shows, etc.). They don't look the same at all. They just feel… same-ish.
Our redesign, like the BBC's, is based on very fundamental principles, rather than on trappings: grid, font, navigation, iconography and colour hierarchy. And, like the BBC, these guidelines are being applied to our many, many sites over time, as they implement changes dictated by the needs their own communities.
In some ways these guidelines have given our resources more freedom: they can choose their colours (but have rules about where to use them), they can keep their logo (but have guidelines about where to put it), and their content remains their own. But also, it is very useful for the developers working on the scientific content of these resources to have guidelines about all the things they don't really want to spend time thinking about or making. (Honestly, who wants to go and make yet another email icon, and argue about where to put it?)
We are really pleased at the result: our resource brands have actually become even more prominent than before. There is a consistent look and feel throughout the EBI websites, but you definitely know where you are when you're in Metabolights.
Probably the thing we spent the most time working out, with each other and with users, was how to encourage people to search across the EBI without distracting them from their local (expected) search. I'll be interested to see what people have to say about this, and what happens in future rounds of testing.
You might notice that not all EBI websites have made the big change. We've given each of them time to switch over, knowing they have to see to the immediate needs of their communities first. Some have high-priority features to develop; some need to change their internal APIs, etc. These sites are sporting the new global header and footer but, by and large, they are reusing their old framework (compare the compliant Metabolights site to the 'mitigated' ChEMBL site).
I think the moment it clicked for me that our strategy had worked was when my colleague Henning Hermjakob, who is responsible for a number of 'mitigated' (and politically complex) websites, said that surely we could have a central piece of html for the header and footer that everyone would use straightaway. He didn't even question that we should share consistent headers and footers, complete with the new EBI logo and black band up top.
I know all the mitigated sites are keen to shift to the new web guidelines, and we aim to have everything switched over the next year or two.
What makes a good website?
The techniques aren't really the important thing here (although they're fun to see in action). What we are really trying to do is to think and develop with the user's perspective in mind. It's not as simple as it sounds. The people leading, running and developing websites – from strategy to pixel shifting – are about as far as you can get from a sample of users. Everyone has strong, instinctive feelings about what makes a 'good' or 'bad' website, but when it's your website, you are simply too deeply involved to make those calls on behalf of your users. At best you have blind spots; at worst your instincts can be downright misleading.
Probably the nicest thing about UX is that it's about making data-driven decisions in design. (The reality is a bit messier – there are other, very real drivers to consider in the design of public services.) But at base, the approach is to apply common sense and data to question every detail, right from the start. This appeals to my science mind – I hate having arguments without data.
We hope to gain more than good user interactions from this shift. We've put the user front-and-centre in our website design not because we want to look good (although that would be nice, too), but because we want to help people do good science. So take a look at what we've done, and don't compare it to what we used to do. Just keep looking, and finding connections between the world of biological data right here on your doorstep

They are known as movie hard men, the go-to stars for a hint of menace.
But Jason Flemyng and Peter Mullan show a softer touch as they break out in song in the new feelgood movie, Sunshine On Leith, written to the music of Scottish band The Proclaimers.
Based on the musical stage hit of the same name, it tells the story of two soldiers, Davy and Ally, played by George MacKay and Kevin Guthrie, who return to Edinburgh from Afghanistan and rekindle romances.
Mullan and Jane Horrocks play Davy's parents, Jean and Rab, who are planning their 25th wedding anniversary
The cast sing Proclaimers hits including I'm On My Way, Letter From America, and I'm Gonna Be (500 miles).
Director Dexter Fletcher — Flemyng's co-star in Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels — said the production brought out hidden talents in his cast: "Peter Mullan was having the time of his life. He's a Scot through and through and for him it was a joy to do his interpretation of one of the Proclaimers' songs. And he's got a great voice. Who knew?"
Flemyng "fought like tooth and nail" to fend off other work after Fletcher invited him to take the part of an art gallery boss, and he fell in love with the story.
"Jason is one of the revelations," said the director. "He sings and dances. Even he couldn't believe he could do it. But I always knew he could. He was brilliant." Shooting the film was "an enormous amount of fun".
Fletcher, 47, made his directorial debut last year with gritty East End drama Wild Bill. But he had an early introduction to musicals, playing Baby Face in the movie Bugsy Malone.
He counts Singing' In The Rain and Cabaret among his favourite films: "I'm not a West End Wendy but the genre is not lost on me. When it works, it works well." Born in Enfield, he said his outsider's view may have helped him: "I have a less sentimental take on Scotland." But "it's a universal story, about those conflicts and moments of understanding that come to any family".
The film had its premiere in Edinburgh last night. It launches in London on Monday and is on general release from October 4.

This week's "Panther Pause" is by sophomore Brittney Harris. Brittney was successfully consistent in our lead-off beam spot last year and a solid contributor in the bars and vault line-up as well. This year she's stronger than ever and currently holding down our top all-around spot.
Hey Panther Fans!
Our team is working so hard! We are looking better now than we did last year at this time. The competitiveness on the team has been taken to a higher level. Everyone on the team is working hard to get into the competition line-up spot.
Over the weekend sports psychologist, Kevin Elko came and spoke with our team about the little things that make the big picture, and our big picture is winning the EAGL Championships. On Monday before Thanksgiving we had an intersquad called the Gobble No Wobble, and I noticed we all took the words that Dr. Elko said into consideration. The little things we had to focus on made our routines that much better. Yes we had a couple mistakes but we made sure we didn't carry those mistakes to the next event. The team did a great job at the intersquad and there is no place to go but up!
Not only does our TEAM strive for the eagle EAGL Championship but our strength coach Adam Gentry and athletic trainer Mallory Selldo as well. They are always there to support us and make sure we are doing everything we need to stay healthy and strong. A big thank you to both for their efforts and support!
Our Blue-Gold is quickly approaching so come out to the Fitzgerald Field House on December 10 to watch us scrimmage the West Virginia Mountaineers. We're ready, ARE YOU?

CRESTON, Ohio — No farmer should have to go through one barn fire, let alone two, but that is just one of the challenges Virgil and Lois Gasser have faced during their 37 years in the dairy business.
Just one week before the annual Wayne County Dairy Service Unit Twilight Tour, Gasser lost a barn on a second farm he owns to a barn fire. Fortunately, no one was injured.
"We have been blessed by family and friends and surrounding businesses that have helped us over the years," Gasser said. "Without them, we wouldn't be where we are today."
Love the land
When asked by Diane Shoemaker, Wayne County Dairy Extension educator, why he farmed, Gasser told the audience more than 1,200 people attending the tour that it was because they love the land that God has given to them.
"We enjoy learning from one another day to day," he said. "We try to set a good example for the community."
Gasser added that for young people going into the dairy business, it is important for them to be well grounded and prepared for the decisions they will need to make.
Gasser was born and raised on a dairy farm near Creston, Ohio, and farmed with his father and brothers. In 1974, he not only started his own dairy operation, but he began working for W.G. Dairy as a salesman as well.
Updated facilities
By 1984, they had purchased the home farm and updated the facilities to include a double six herringbone parlor and a free stall barn to accommodate 100 milk cows.
In 1999, the bank barn that had been on the farm when they purchased it burned. This barn was replaced by a four row freestall barn.
Since then, the parlor has been upgraded to a double 10 unit, new free stall barns have been added, cement feed storage bunkers constructed and a 1.8 million gallon manure storage facility is being constructed to handle the waste from 470 dairy cows and about 400 young animals.
Another improvement
Another improvement on the farm was the recent addition of an automated calf feeding system. Calves are started with bottles in individual pens, but when they are about 10 days old, they are moved to a large group pen in the 30 x 86 hooped roof building with curtain sides.
Because the Gassers use the waste milk from their herd, it is pasteurized before it goes into a bulk tank for storage. From the tank, the milk goes into the calf feeding unit where it is warmed to about 100 degrees.
Each calf wears a computerized necktag containing the calf's information along with how much milk it is supposed to get during the day. When the calf enters the feeding unit, the tag is scanned to determine when the calf last ate, how much it ate and how much more feed it is supposed have.
Daily allotment
When the calf has consumed its daily allotment, the computer records that and the calf is no longer able to get any milk from the unit.
According to David Gasser, who handles the calf raising duties on the farm, the unit is programmed to step up the amount of milk the calf gets as it gets older and when it is time to wean the calf, the amount of milk is decreased as the calf consumers more grain and water.
David Gasser said he saw the unit during a trip to Wisconsin and he like the look of the calves that he saw using the unit.
"The calves receive the same amount of feed they would in a conventional system, but they receive smaller amounts several times a day and they are able to use the nutrients better," he said. "Another advantage to this unit is that the calves are used to being in a group when they are weaned."

How to Reheat
All our pasties are baked and frozen. Straight from the freezer, preheat your oven to 350°F. Remove the bag and foil. Place them on a cookie sheet on the middle rack and reheat for about 30min. Don't let them start getting darker brown, this will dry out the pasty.
If you like, you can use an oven thermometer until the internal temperature is 160°F.

We've previously told you that Intel would be launching Nehalem before the end of the year, but that's not strictly the case any more. That's because as of now Intel's forthcoming new microarchitecture is no longer relying on a mere codename and has, in fact, received its official branding; everyone say hi to Intel Core i7.
Intel says it chose not to vary from the Core branding having built it up over the past couple of years. Arguably that could be a bad thing for consumers unsure as to the difference between various 'Core' ranges. In fairness to Intel, though, seven is clearly a bigger number than two, so your Average Joe should hopefully be able to distinguish that a Core i7 processor is better than a Core 2 one. Because bigger is better right?
As per usual, Extreme Edition processors are differentiated by having a black, rather than blue, badge. It's a tad more subtle than usual as there's no text this generation, which could be considered a good thing. Let's face it, most of the time displaying an Extreme Edition logo on your PC is akin to strapping an "I have more money than sense" sign to your back.
Intel's on-board memory controller sporting, Hyper-Threading capable CPUs should be out just in time for Christmas, so be sure to add "Core i7 Extreme Edition" somewhere near the top of your list.

So sad...another friend of ours in getting a divorce.
I got an email from my mother telling me that one of my friends that I grew up with is getting a divorce. This friend was like a little sister to me (I'm 7 years older than she is and we grew up together). She is coming up to my parent's lake home this summer with her son and I'm going over there to spend some time with her. My heart just breaks for her. She's such a sweetheart. I don't know the details of why they are getting divorced, I didn't even ask. All I know is that my friend and her son are hurting and I need to be there for them.

So sorry to hear of this. Divorce is a hard thing, no matter how "right" it seems at the time or how much someone wants it, it's never easy.
She's very lucky to have you to come to. Comfort is the thing that she needs most.

L'Oiseau de feu (The Firebird) premiered during the second Paris season of Serge Diaghilev's Ballet Russe in 1910, presenting a landmark synthesis of dance, design and music. Diaghilev commissioned Igor Stravinsky to write the score, his first for ballet, and Michel Fokine was responsible for the libretto and choreography of the one-act work. Collaboration between choreographer and composer was integral to the ballet, with innovations in both dance and music astonishing audiences. The production featured the early Diaghilev trademark of drawing on the traditions and folklore of the company's native Russia. The libretto, a classic tale of love conquering evil, was based on a blend of Russian fairy tales; the exotic designs of Alexander Golovin and Leon Bakst featured traditional Russian craft motifs; and the choreography integrated elements of the Russian folk style. The Firebird, the only role danced on pointe, was created on Tamara Karsavina, although it is said to have been originally conceived for Anna Pavlova, who apparently refused to dance to Stavinsky's score.
L'Oiseau de feu was revived by the de Basil Ballet Russe company in 1934. This production used the decor and costumes that Natalia Gontcharova had designed for the restaging of the work by the Diaghilev company in 1926, and featured Alexandra Danilova as the Firebird. Two years later, de Basil orchestrated the Monte Carlo Russian Ballet tour which brought the work to Australia, premiering in Melbourne on 28 November 1936, with Valentina Blinova dancing as the Firebird, and Valentin Froman and Nathalie Branitzka as Ivan Tsarevitch and his lover, the beautiful Tsarevna. The work was immediately successful with Australian audiences, and Helene Kirsova became renowned for her portrayal of the Firebird in future performances by this company. While this staging used the Bakst decor, the next de Basil company to bring the work to Australia, the Original Ballet Russe which toured in 1939/40, used the Gontcharova designs. During this tour, Tamara Toumanova and Vera Nemtchinova alternated as the Firebird, both to great applause.
L'Oiseau de feu was staged as The Firebird by Serge Grigoriev and Lubov Tchernicheva, with choreography after Fokine, for Sadler's Wells Ballet in 1954, and featured Margot Fonteyn as the Firebird, personally coached in the role by Karsavina. Over the years the work has been recreated in numerous other versions, with varying adherence to Fokine's scenario. George Balanchine's production, with decor by Marc Chagall, was brought to Australia by the New York City Ballet during their 1958 tour.
There have been a number of notable Australian productions of The Firebird. Garth Welch's version, choreographed for the Australian Ballet, opened on 27 April 1972, with Lucette Aldous as the Firebird, and Kelvin Coe and Carolyn Rappel as the noble lovers. Set and costume design was by Greg Irvine. In the following year, Walter Gore staged a version for Perth City Ballet, featuring Paula Hinton in the title role. Other Australian productions include the version choreographed in 1986 by Lambros Lambrou for the West Australian Ballet, and that by Jaqui Carroll for the Queensland Ballet in 1987. The West Australian Ballet performed another Firebird in 1999, this time with choreography by Krzysztof Pastor and design by Francois-Noel Cherpin. This production, which premiered on 11 February 1999, as part of the company's The Source - Tribute to the Ballets Russes season, was also performed in 2001 during the Russian Romance season. While Pastor based his contemporary work on the Fokine synopsis, other choreographers have further distanced their versions from the original. Lucy Guerin abandoned ties to the Fokine libretto when choreographing her non-narrative piece, performed by Delia Sylvan to accompany the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra's performance of the Stravinsky score in 2003.
The most recent Australian production was choreographed by Graeme Murphy, with set and costume design by Leon Krasenstein, for the Australian Ballet's 2009 season. On opening night, 24 February in Adelaide, the role of the Firebird was danced by Lana Jones, with Kevin Jackson as Ivan Tsarevich, Danielle Rowe as Tsarevna and Chengwu Guo as Kostchei. Lana Jones' performance in this production won her the 2009 Helpmann award for Best Female Dancer in a Dance or Physical Theatre Production.

Almost everything passes through the grill at some point in this restaurant—all of the dishes; even something as simple as a deviled egg. The egg white and the yolk are smoked on the grill. I think of it as this ephemeral spice that weaves through all of the food. You can't touch it, you don't really sense it, but you can taste it. Sometimes it's more pronounced and sometimes more subtle."
