Chemical Industries Business Association
The chemical industry is vital to the world economy and the Chemical Industries Business Association strives to bring together the varying businesses involved in the industry. There are thousands upon thousands of products that are available only because of the chemical industry. Transforming raw materials like air, oil, minerals and metals into helpful products, our lives are affected by the industry on a daily basis.
The worldwide chemical industry includes companies of all sizes and has been mostly established among three different geographical areas: The United States, Europe and Japan. Those in Western Europe are responsible for most of the industry's output, followed by North America and Japan.
The sector of the chemical industry that's rapidly growing is that of organic polymer manufacturing. Organic polymers are widely used in the production of different elastomers, fibers and plastics.
Chemical Business Leaders in the U.S.
The big players in the chemical industry are spread out all over the world. Some of the leading chemical companies include DuPont, ExxonMobil, Bayer, Shell and BASF. The United States alone has nearly 200 major chemical companies, although they do have installations abroad as well as in the U.S. The jobs that the industry provides are impressive and very much needed. In the U.S. there are over a million people who work in the chemical industry. The industry outputs $750 billion each year in the U.S. and spends upwards of $5 billion each year to minimize pollution.
The chemical industry in Europe, a big part of which is in Germany, is one of the biggest industries. Plastics, chemicals and rubber sectors combined provide roughly 3 million jobs across 60,000+ companies. In Europe, two thirds of the manufacturing trade surplus is comprised of the chemical sector.
The Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry
During the five years leading up to 2012 we have seen a steady growth in the organic chemical manufacturing industry. This industry is set to continue growing, with an estimated 4.3 percent annual growth rate. Providing raw materials to a number of industries such as paint, plastic and adhesive sectors, it survived the financial crisis and has bounced back.
At one point (2009) revenue dropped due to the financial crisis, as many people simply weren't buying up end-user products like they normally do. Consumer spending was dragged down across all industries… But demand has since grown and the organic chemical manufacturing industry has picked up steam again.
Chemical Industry News
New Ethylene Plants in the U.S.
With the growing demand for ethylene, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company seems to be leading the race to the development of ethylene plants in the U.S. This is good news for many, including those in Texas where thousands of new jobs will be created. They said they'll require around 10,000 construction workers and engineers to create the plant and two additional polyethylene factories near Houston. Hoping to open in 2017, the plants will provide roughly 400 permanent jobs for plant employees.
Other companies racing to develop plants include Exxon Mobil Corporation and Dow Chemical Company.
German Chemical Industry Workers Get Pay Increase
Originally, chemical workers in Germany requested to receive a six percent pay increase that would slowly take effect over the course of one year. The chemical industry is comprised of nearly 550,000 workers and after talks with union officials they've agreed to a four and a half percent pay raise that will take effect over the course of 19 months. Not as high as they'd like, but it's still more than the 4.1 percent that they agreed on last year.
Dow Chemical Company to Receive Financial Help from Government
The Obama Administration's blueprint for an American economy built to last is making it possible to provide the Dow Chemical Company some federal financial aid. The Energy Department is going to invest in several Michigan businesses in an effort to help build leadership by American companies and to increase the competitive edge of global manufacturing.
The Dow Chemical Company received nine million dollars, but they aren't the only company that was awarded financial aid. General Motors also received aid in the form of nearly three million dollars. This financial aid was awarded to provide them the means to create innovative manufacturing processes that will save them money in the long run – processes that will minimize the amount of energy required to run their company and equipment.
These monetary awards are only a small part of the investments being made by the Energy Department. In total, there's a whopping fifty four million dollars being invested spread out across 13 different projects in the U.S. Seventeen million of that was made possible from private sectors. These investments are part of the effort to create advanced technology, processes and materials to reduce the cost of operation and increase efficiency of the different companies involved.

Throw the discount dagger at the other goblin's face! If it misses, roll out of the way of his next attack.
In this Spoiler is my dark collection of black magic, Opening it releases the forces of light and dar- ...You misclicked on it didn't you.
stabey stab, taketh loot, runey run run!!
You inch over to the discount dagger to pick it up.
You hurl the discout dagger at the other goblin!
FACESTAB! The attack deals 6 damage to the goblin.
The goblin is stunned by your throwing finesse (and also the dagger lodged in his face), and misses his turn. Your second command will not be necessary.
> Get up, and recover that dagger of yours.
> Take advantage of your low position and kick him where it hurts!
Sgrub Fusion: Guided by an unknown hand. Unstable combinations and hijinks.
Get up, retrieve knife, stab his face with other knife. Then use discount knife on face. Again.

My update schedule is an entirely refined and disciplined thing.
You get up.
The goblin pulls the dagger out of his face, taking 2 damage.
He readies the discount dagger.
You retrieve the discount dagger.
The goblin enters a defensive stance!
While in defensive stance, the goblin will negate 0% of all damage taken in the next turn!
That's probably because he doesn't have a fucking shield!

Stab face with discount dagger. Bring out sword and stab face with sword.

Chumhandle: informativeClouder. Now wasn't that a dead giveaway?
> Attack him. Right where the shield isn't. Which is everywhere.
FACESTAB! You deal 6 DAMAGE to the goblin!
His defensive stance blocks 0 DAMAGE, blocking precisely fuck all!
You take out your sword and also throw that in his face, why not!
FACESTAB! You deal 6 DAMAGE! OVERKILL!
The goblin has been slain in battle.
He drops a butterfly knife and 3 coins.
Victory achieved!

> Head to yon left. Or whatever Old English term is appropriate.
> GREY: Do a victory dance before going through the door on the west.
Bayn does not appear to be interested in jolly cooperation, though he will help administer diplomacy against the goblin.
He fires his CHEAP CROSSBOW at the goblin boss for 4 DAMAGE!
The goblin boss unleashes POIGNANT BLOOD for a massive 10 damage to Bayn!
POIGNANT BLOOD requires 3 turns to recharge.
Your move, ace!
Duel weild Butterfly Knife and Sword and cut off the goblin boss's arms.

Wichita and most of south central Kansas finally got rain this week. Almost two inches fell in the Wichita metro area on Aug. 3 and we've had another round of storms with at least some rain since then. But the water came with a price. Hail and power outages came with the storms that hit with 60 to 70 mph winds about 10 p.m. Wednesday night. Tree limbs are down all over town and the silver maple at the side of my driveway lost a big limb right out of the center of the tree. The wisteria was…Continue Reading
Blistering Kansas was supposed to get a "respite" Sunday from 100-degree heat, with a forecast high of "only" 96. It hit 101. Things heated up more today, topping out at 108 and Tuesday is expected to be hotter still with highs around 112. That's air temperature for the folks accustomed to talk about "heat index." The stats for July were tallied over the weekend, making it officially the second hottest July on record, with an average temperature of 89.3 degrees, topped only by the heat of…Continue Reading
Kansas seems to have its own version of the divide in farm country precipitation this week. Heavy rains in the north have put rivers and creeks over the banks with widespread threat of flash flooding and river flooding across the top quarter of the state. The rest of the state is still gripped in drought despite off-again, on-again showers. The problem is heat and wind, which rapidly sucks any moisture right back into the atmosphere. Today, for example, most of the state is under a wind…Continue Reading
One of the real joys of my life is that from time to time, thanks to my partner, Dave, I get to meet new people that are intersecting his world as they come to Wichita to buy an airplane or get flight training. Tonight, we had a wonderful time talking to David, who just bought a Bonanza, and his flight instructor, Harold. They are from Greenville, S.C., and during the course of the dinner conversation, agriculture came up as a discussion topic. David revealed that about 10 years ago he…Continue Reading
This is the time of winter discontent. Oh, the heck with the winter of OUR. . . discontent and all that other literary stuff. Farmers know that late January and early February is the awful time of the year. Christmas and New Years and shiny resolutions are over. It is a long, long time until spring. So here we are in the sometimes snowy, often cold, ever windy, mostly cloudy, just plain YUCK!! season of the year. And I do have some ideas to offer -- although mind you none of this applies to…Continue Reading
I drove out to Stafford County today for the first of my six interviews with this year's Master Farmer/Master Farm Homemaker Award stories and on the return trip, I got a reminder that this has been an extraordinarily dry fall and winter in central Kansas. Just west of Hutchinson, I had to pull off to the side of the road as gusty northwest winds picked up the topsoil from fields and hurled them across the road, temporarily cutting visibility to near zero. DUSTY DAY: Blowing dirt…Continue Reading
I always think of November and early December as the "season of conventions" because almost every organization has an annual meeting somewhere in there. The rest of the winter is education conferences and one of the biggest is coming up Jan. 25-26 in Salina: the annual No-Till on the Plains Conference. This one is special whether you are currently no-till or just thinking about it. It's a chance to learn what no-till is all about, explore how you might gain soil health, productivity and…Continue Reading
Greetings from Husker Harvest Days. Walking the show yesterday, it was fun to see how many Kansas farmers -- and Kansas businesses -- are a part of the show. SPF, a Leawood company specializing in fertilizer treatments is here and so is Ryan Hammes of Seneca, who is showing his AgSynergy dual placement feritlizer applications. Both have some brand new products that you'll be hearing more about in future editions of Kansas Farmer. And I don't know if it was just to make me feel at…Continue Reading
There are a lot of people out there that don't trust farmers to do what is right for the land. I wish they could have been on the tour bus with me this afternoon as the Residue Alliance of South Central Kansas toured five farms where the commitment to take care of the soil is rock solid. As the bus took off from South Barber High School's parking lot for the first stop, we drove past a "clean" field and the comments were non-stop: All you need is that sight to make you understand no-till…Continue Reading
One thing you can say for Kansans: they know when to put on a straw hat with a wet towel underneath and hunker down to endure. And that's exactly the mode that most of the state is in as we continue to bake in 100-plus temperatures with higher humidity than we would like thanks to the abundant rain of the early summer. For those who planted fall crop early and are near harvest, this heat may be a yield robber but it won't be devastating. For those who double-cropped behind wheat…Continue Reading

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Cleveland, Ohio, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Cleveland Star.

Minimal Electro Vibes
Who likes to work [construction kits] will find enough material here.
Minimal Electro Vibes
Sound&Recording, 07-2009
Back to the construction-kits: The Elastik-Player keeps the full mix on C1 and spreads the single elements on the adjacent keys that can now be played chromatically or can be new arranged. At the end of this row you will find the single drumsounds. Such a concept can be a mess if the kits sound weak. But they don't: With a good labeling plus tempo and scale information the samples offer a nice mix of beautiful swinging grooves from different drummachines, clicks and oings, plus a few tonal elements (blips and bimms). Who likes to work this way will find enough material here. Those of you who are looking for a huge amount of drumloops should look elsewhere.

Minimal Electro Vibes
Compared to other libraries of this genre the key does not lay on a maximum loudness and accented deep basslines but on a nice acoustic picture. This is exactly what makes this library so interesting.
Minimal Electro Vibes
keys, 04/2009
Minimal Electro Vibes is based on the approved Construction Kit Concept. The 20 Kits are not only seperated into each single line but also come with a prefabricated Mix-Set that includes arranged patterns, intros and breaks. This set allows you to create complete tracks that will suite into a DJ-setup within minutes. As bonus on top this library offers an extra-set with wav-loops ready as Ableton Live project.
For those of you who don't want to use prearranged loops but only parts they can work with the singleloops or sounds. As typical for this genre the beats, bass- and synthlines were programmed minimalistic.
The sound as such is consciously not aggressive and the groove flows. Compared to other libraries of this genre the key does not lay on a maximum loudness and accented deep basslines but on a nice acoustic picture. This is exactly what makes this library so interesting.

The library knows how to score with a perfect production - just as we are used to from the guys from Hanover, germany.

Minimal Electro Vibes
"minimal" is still the magic word in the Clubs. Although there is a trend within the electronic music that heads towards opulent arrangments styles like "Minimal Electro" and "Minimal Techno" still have their own position. Therefore the Elastik-wrapped library hits the taste of the time and knows how to score with a perfect production - just as we are used to from the guys from Hanover, germany. Although the loops aren't that original the library comes with a solid base of all you need. Ideal in this library: Ueberschll delivers a complete DJ-Set for Ableton Live - an additional incentive to buy for all digital dancefloor-artists.

There are some really interesting grooves and sounds that are well worth checking out. Especially if you like a nice electro twist to proceedings!

Minimal Electro Vibes
With so many sample sets available today, you wonder when people's enthusiasm for them will dry up. Ueberschall, however, have found a twist to keep you on your toes. First up, this sample set comes Ableton Live ready and they've also thrown in Elastik – a standalone loop player.
With samples specially designed for minimal, electro, techno and tech house, Electro Vibes has a little more to offer than other sample sets.
With more than a gigabyte and a half of material there is more than enough to get the ball rolling, and to get you on your way the 20 construction kits will be a big help. Each kit includes all solo parts and drum shots used in the mix, as well as thumping bass loops and grooves plus animated sound FX all firmly aimed at the dancefloor. All 750 of the sounds can be integrated with various genres of house sample sets for extended exploitation.
The DVD also includes an Ableton Live set primed and ready to construct your own live minimal electro from the DJ booth. The Elastik loop player is also a nice touch; this flexible loop player is an inbuilt sampler that allows you to integrate the Electro Vibes samples, and then time stretch and pitch shift them to your desired sound. The integrated filter has a kill function right down to -72dB and you can adjust the BPM from 10 to 480 BPM. You also have an option to save the audio loops in original and modified forms.
The inclusion of the Live-ready set makes you look at sample sets in a different light. And while it's not the cheapest around, there are some really interesting grooves and sounds that are well worth checking out. Especially if you like a nice electro twist to proceedings!
Verdict: If you are an Ableton Live user, this is well worth looking over. It's also useful to mix with other house genre sets.

The appointments that generally can be booked online are:
Are you having back pain with any of the following?
We understand that you are experiencing one or more of the health issues that might be impacting your back pain.
We recommend that you discuss these health issues with your doctor before proceeding with this program.
Once you are cleared by your doctor to do this program, we hope it helps you find relief from your back pain.
Stress can appear in different forms. Some stressors are things that many of us encounter every day, like conflicts, disagreements or tension in our personal or professional lives. Whatever the cause, learning to manage the stress you feel is important to your health and well being.
Your body needs regular exercise, relaxation, good nutrition, and enough sleep to help deal with the effects of stress. It's important to make healthy habits a part of your day. Choose one or several of these habits and make them a part of your routine.
Aerobic exercises help release chemicals in the brain that reduce depression and stress. Some examples are:
Relaxation exercises soothe your mind and body. They include:
Regular balanced meals can help you feel your best. Choose meals with lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and low-fat dairy products. Avoid too much sugar, fat, caffeine, or alcohol.
Healthy sleep is vital for your physical and emotional health. Getting enough sleep can help your mood and make you feel less stressed.
Manage chronic illness or pain. If you have a chronic illness or chronic pain condition, stress can make it worse. Set aside time each day to check in with yourself. Sometimes, you may need to reprioritize a task or project to make time for exercise or to practice relaxation breathing.
Find uplifting activities. Joy can balance the stress in your life. Find activities that are enjoyable, peaceful, and make you feel good. Try hiking or drawing, gardening, singing, or spending relaxing time with people you love. Observe which activities or hobbies bring you pleasure and do them often.
Everyone needs to give and receive support. Especially when under stress, it is important to reach out for extra support. Trying to "go it alone" is counterproductive – isolation can actually increase stress and depression. Here are some ideas for sources of support:
Caring about others and feeling cared about can reduce stress. We need to hug, laugh, and share our feelings with family and friends. Surround yourself with people you trust and care about and share your experiences during stressful times.
Don't be afraid to find help for problems relating to health, relationships, finances, or substance abuse outside your home. There are sources of support in your community: clergy, nonprofit aid organizations, and trained counselors.
Taking steps to manage your time at work and at home will help you control your stress level. When you organize your time, you will find tasks much more doable.
Ask for help as you work to improve how you use your time. Find friends or coworkers who seem good at using their time and ask them for tips.
One of the causes of stress and depression is a feeling of going nowhere. Life may feel like it's just passing you by. With an obtainable goal in mind, you might be amazed at how good you feel.
Think about your ideal life, your values and hopes. What small steps would it take to get a little closer to your dreams? Write down your thoughts and set up small and realistic goals for yourself. Your goals don't have to be big: plant a small vegetable garden, read a book, go out with friends once or twice a month.
When you reach your goals, reward yourself! Consider your next small steps and update your goals with those in mind.
If you have an emergency medical condition, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital. An emergency medical condition is any of the following: (1) a medical condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in serious jeopardy to your health or body functions or organs; (2) active labor when there isn't enough time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery, or if transfer poses a threat to your (or your unborn child's) health and safety, or (3) a mental disorder that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity such that either you are an immediate danger to yourself or others, or you are not immediately able to provide for, or use, food, shelter, or clothing, due to the mental disorder.

With so many activities, entertainers and exhibits to see, it is no surprise that many happy family memories and traditions are made at the annual N.C. State Fair. In fact, a number of families return year after year to eat at their favorite food stands, see the racing pigs or check to see if they won a ribbon in a competition.
If you don't have your favorite stops already planned, here are some free, fun family-friendly activities to check out at the fair:
* Step right up and weigh in — As counterintuitive as it seems, many people like to weigh themselves in public at the State Fair, and not just at the Fool the Guesser games. The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Standards Division operates an officially calibrated scale in the Education Building where you can get a printed card with your weight on it. Some people like to weigh in the morning and then again at the end of the day after a few fair foods.
* Educational exhibits — Want to learn more about animal agriculture in the state, or some of North Carolina's top agricultural commodities or the role bees play in producing food? How about pottery making or weaving? Or perhaps you are interested in the types of careers that are available in agriculture today? There are exhibits for all of that. Check out the State Fair Ark for information on animal agriculture, the Field of Dreams exhibit for other agricultural commodities, the Village of Yesteryear and Heritage Circle for old-time crafts and household needs and the Cultivate a Career tent for agricultural career information. Learn about bees in the Expo Building or about the state's Christmas tree industry in Dorton Arena. The State Fair Scavenger Hunt, which can be found online at http://ow.ly/dHfkt, will help visitors navigate around to all the exhibits.
* Racing pigs — This smile-producing attraction, featuring piglets in competition for Cheese Doodles, is especially popular. Be sure to arrive early to get your seat in the stands.
* Keep your eyes open for the "big and tall stuff" — The giant pumpkins and watermelons on display in the Expo Center always draw a crowd, but also look for the oversized sweet potatoes in the horticulture display. The Got to Be NC Big Cart, a 13-foot-tall shopping cart, and the Got to Be NC RV are both on display outside the Got to Be NC Agriculture exhibit outside the Kerr Scott Building. Also, stroll through the Flower and Garden Show area to see and have your picture made with the supersized Adirondack chair. While you are walking around, also be on the lookout for stiltwalker Carrie McQueen, the 9-foot-tall Rock-it the Robot and the unique act Divine.
* Tap your feet, clap your hands — The Folk Festival is a celebration of traditional North Carolina music and dance. Some adult participants have been competing since they were youngsters, so there is a real feeling of family here. The music is spirited and the dancing is high-energy fun. Shows are daily at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the tent behind the Kerr Scott Building.
* Tap into your inner chef — With the variety of food on the fairgrounds, it is not difficult to churn up the culinary creativity. Check out Neomonde Bakery's daily bread-making demonstrations at 1 and 4 p.m. near the church and Village of Yesteryear, look for the decorated cakes in the Education Building, sample free hush puppies in the Education Building and at the old Grist Mill, or stop in the Got to Be NC Agriculture tent to learn about the many food products made in North Carolina.
* Music is in the air — It is not hard to find some great music at the State Fair, with two dedicated musical stages and nightly shows in Dorton Arena. Pull up a chair and relax to the sounds of bluegrass, rhythm and blues, beach music, alternative country or folk music at the Kitchen Craft Waterfall Stage or Bluegrass Stage.
* Fresh from the farm — Many visitors don't live on farms, but the State Fair offers fairgoers many opportunities to see farm animals up close. The State Fair Ark in the Expo Center features a display of junior livestock grand champions, along with horses, mules, mini donkeys and baby chicks. Livestock competitions are held throughout the fair in the Graham Building and the Expo Center. It's tempting and they are cute, but please no touching. New this year is a mobile dairy classroom that will be set up near the Expo Center for daily milking demonstrations. The traveling milking parlor, operated by Southwest Dairy Farmers, will include information on the modern milking process, cow anatomy and the nutritional benefits of dairy foods.
* Go to Kiddieland Fun Park — Kiddieland Fund Park near Dorton Arena will be the setting for a clown, a magic show, a roving artist and a man who plays the spoons. Performances are held at various times throughout the day.
* Not free, but still fun — The Midway includes more than 100 rides.

Traumatic injuries are the leading cause of death and disability in children, making immediate, life-saving medical care crucial. Northridge Hospital's Level II Pediatric Trauma Center is the only facility in the San Fernando Valley that provides immediate care to infants, children and adolescents with life-threatening traumatic injuries 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week. We were also voted "Best Pediatric Care" by the readers of the Daily News.
Our Pediatric Trauma Center is just the right size for children with the technology necessary to quickly and accurately assess a child's condition and provide immediate treatment. On arrival, children can be treated in our resuscitation suite that is outfitted with specialized technology to effectively resuscitate young patients.
What Is a "Designated" Pediatric Trauma Center? Pediatric Trauma designation verifies that Northridge Hospital has the clinical expertise, specialty pediatric staffing and technologically-advanced equipment needed to effectively resuscitate young patients regardless of age or body size. We have expert physicians in more than 20 subspecialties, which include emergency medicine, anesthesia, orthopedics and neurosurgery.
We also house the technologically-advanced equipment needed to effectively resuscitate patients regardless of age or body size—including laparoscopy and minimally invasive surgeries, in addition to resuscitation medications that are prepackaged in accurate unit doses for pediatric use.
We house an elite team of pediatric physician specialists in more than 20 subspecialties, which include emergency medicine, anesthesia, orthopedics and neurosurgery. In addition, we have available RNs, social workers, pharmacists, registered dieticians, occupational and physical therapists, speech-language pathologists and respiratory therapists who are all specialty trained in pediatric care. We also have school liaison staff who coordinate the educational needs of children during their hospital stay.
Injuries Cared for by the Pediatric Trauma Team
Time Is Golden When a child is injured, our Pediatric Trauma Team immediately activates to await the patient's arrival. Our goal is to provide medical treatment within the Platinum 30 Minutes—known as the first critical half hour when treatment increases the chance of survival. (This critical time period is 60 minutes for adults—known as the Golden Hour—but is reduced to 30 minutes for a fragile child.)
Unfortunately, children injured locally have lost their lives during transport to Pediatric Trauma Centers outside of the San Fernando Valley. The Pediatric Trauma Center is named after Richie Alarcon – the infant son of District 7 Councilmember Richard Alarcon – who was traumatically injured in a vehicle accident. Richie's transport out of the Valley extended beyond the Platinum 30 Minutes, and he died in his father's arms the next day.
Shortly after, Alarcon (who was then a State Senator) introduced legislation to establish funding for Northridge Hospital's Pediatric Trauma Center. He received help to get the bill passed from Senator Alex Padilla, 20th District, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors and L.A. County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, 3rd District.
After receiving emergent treatment in the Pediatric Trauma Center, multifaceted care continues in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and Pediatrics Unit, which are staffed by pediatric surgeons and pediatric critical care specialists.
Because we know how important it is to be near little ones when they're sick, we also provide sleeping chairs for a parent to spend the night.
Child Life Specialist
Northridge Hospital is the only facility in the San Fernando Valley that offers a Child Life Program featuring a Child Life Specialist who educates and comforts children so they can better cope with stress, hospitalization or an upcoming procedure.
Child Life Specialists are specially trained to address each child's specific cognitive, emotional and physical needs. They help children gain a sense of comfort and familiarity through exploration of the unit; play; art projects; therapeutic activities; self-expression; and developmentally appropriate toys for children restricted to bed. Because a child's well-being depends on family support, Child Life Specialists also provide education and guidance to family members. Golden Hour Guild The Golden Hour Guild (GHG) takes its name from the term given to the critical first hour of care after a traumatic injury. The first hour can make a difference in saving lives and improving recovery. The GHG is committed to the future of trauma care, but can't carry out this life saving work alone.
With the public's support the Guild continues to provide essential medical care in our Level II Trauma Center and Richie Pediatric Trauma Center. If you would like more information on how to help support the Trauma Center, please call the Foundation office 818-885-5341, ext. 2.
Northridge Hospital voted the best in Pediatric Care for the 2012 Daily News Readers Choice Awards.

Most business owners know that they need to form either a corporation or LLC to protect themselves from the risks associated with running businesses in our modern world. Alas, most don't think through the process to its logical end when evaluating these risks. As a result, they often don't realize that they may need two, not one, business entities.
Let's start with a simple question. Why do you form a business entity? Yes, there can be tax reasons, but most form them to protect themselves from the risks associated with being in business. These risks include being sued for a ton of money or having creditors come after the company to collect debts. Business entities are great at creating a shield between you, the owner, and these debts. The question is whether that is enough. For many businesses, it is not.
So, what is the problem? The problem is most of your valuable and critical assets are actually owned by the corporation. This means they are exposed to the risks of running the business. Consider an example. I own a hosting company for websites. I incorporate it and business goes really well. Everyone knows "Chapo's Hosting". I have a trademark, logo and the whole nine yards. My servers get hacked in the first week of December and all the sites of my clients are down for the first 10 days of the month, the busiest on the web. I get sued for millions. While I am not going to be personally liable, I am going to lose all my servers, equipment, trademark and logo to the companies suing me. Once I lose all of those, it is just a matter of time till I can't meet my personal bills and lose my home, car and so on. We are talking about a nightmare!

If this is something that can be added it would be greatly appreciated.
This was the request:
a simple rose bud on a stem, not open and silly like the daisy. It represents caring about someone when there aren't word to say it. You could make a whole lot of people fell that if it was here. Wouldn't you like one sometimes???
I think she's right. I think it would be greatly appreciated here. They even use them at funerals.
They represent deep sorrow that can't be spoken to.
If you want to ask them and quote 'us' it's OK with me.

This handsome decorative serving tray is unusual in its deep mahogany finish which shows the grain of the wood while maintaining the glossy shine of traditional Sawantwadi lacquerware. This elegant hand painted serving tray features a trio of hand-painted rosettes which provide a contrasting burst of exuberant color- its Hindi name means 'festival'. The perfect handmade gift idea. • Approx. Size: 15.25"L x 4.63"W x 1.63"H
• Approx. Size: 15.25"L x 4.63"W x 1.63"H
The word ganjifa comes from the ancient Persian word ganjifeh and refers to the round, hand painted playing cards used in card games by the Mughal emperors who first invaded India in the 16th century. Sawantwadi is the only remaining place in the country where the art of ganjifa painting is still practiced. Originally imported by visiting scholars in the 17th and 18th century, this art form flourished under the patronage of the royal family, the Bhonsles, who have presided over the kingdom of Sawantwadi for more than 400 years. The original Mughal style of painting was modified to incorporate Hindu themes, while painters from the neighboring Portugese colony of Goa contributed the floral motifs reminiscent of the decorative arts of Portugal and Spain. The happy marriage of these techniques and styles, encouraged by the patronage of the royal family, resulted in a flourishing community of artisans whose products, from ganjifa cards to home décor items, were in demand throughout the country. Trained in workshops and schools founded by the Bhonsles, artists perfected the process of preparing wooden items, painting them by hand using water based paints in vibrant colors, and sealing them with a coat of clear lacquer. Distinct decorative styles emerged, each focusing on different subjects: Hindu gods and goddesses, floral garlands and bouquets, and representations of the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu. These themes, painted in vivid hues of orange, red or black, continue to dominate ganjifa art more than three centuries later. Over time, ganjifa painting and the art of lacquerware in general fell into a decline so that by the early decades of the 20th century, only a handful of skilled painters remained. In 1972, the Rajabahadur Shivram Sawant Bonsle and his wife, the Rani Satvashiladevi Bhonsle took it upon themselves to revive the dying art of ganjifa. They engaged one of the few remaining master painters to train young artists in the ganjifa style and transformed the darbar, or audience hall of their palace into a workshop. Gradually increasing their product lines and focusing on quality while strictly adhering to the traditional methods and styles of the art, the Bhonsles were able to build a market for this revived art form among collectors and art lovers, both in India and abroad. The organization now employs 7 skilled artisans who work painstakingly to create exquisite works of art while adhering to original ganjifa motifs and techniques. They take pride in the knowledge that they are preserving an artistic tradition that was close to extinction just a few decades ago.

I try to cover all the bases, with a maximum camp size of 2, I can be both commander and foot soldier ! This way, by the end of the week, it's me I can't stand. Haven't had the guts to Black List myself yet, that dude can be a real jerk when confronted. Blame? Everything is my fault. That's called taking credit.

Paul Collins tells the story of the brutal, bloody murder of William Guldensuppe committed by his girlfriend and her lover. Narrator William Dufris gives a delightfully varied and nuanced performance. The book features the voices of a diverse cast of late-19th century New York characters, from Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst to a duck farmer in Woodside to employees of the Murray Hill bathhouse. Together, the characters tell the story of a gruesome crime that fueled a sensationalistic media juggernaut from the moment a group of young boys found a man's mutilated torso floating in the East River in New York City on a summer day in 1897. In Dufris' inventive performance, he expertly adopts the voice of the chillingly blasé murderers; then turns on a dime to describe, in a voice filled with wonder, the new forensic science that went into identifying the body. Dufris engages the listener by sounding as fascinated by the story as the author himself is.
It is vital that Dufris get the performances just right, since Collins has distinguished his book from other histories of the crime by telling the story of the investigation and trial largely through the voices of the people who were actually there. Collins carefully reconstructs their quotes into an intensely detailed narrative, and Dufris individualizes the voice of each witness, including the murder defendants themselves. Especially effective is his portrayal of one of the main defense attorneys in the story, William Howe, whom Dufris imbues with a bold, brash voice that enlivens the "Big Bill" persona that Collins describes. But Dufris is just as adept at capturing the macabre character of the women who, obsessed with the case, filled the sweltering courtroom gallery day after day to show their support for the dashing murder defendant, Martin Thorn. Maggie Frank
In Long Island, a farmer found a duck pond turned red with blood. On the Lower East Side, two boys playing at a pier discovered a floating human torso wrapped tightly in oilcloth. Blueberry pickers near Harlem stumbled upon neatly severed limbs in an overgrown ditch. Clues to a horrifying crime were turning up all over New York, but the police were baffled: There were no witnesses, no motives, no suspects.
The grisly finds that began on the afternoon of June 26, 1897, plunged detectives headlong into the era's most perplexing murder. Seized upon by battling media moguls Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, the case became a publicity circus. Re-creations of the murder were staged in Times Square, armed reporters lurked in the streets of Hell's Kitchen in pursuit of suspects, and an unlikely trio - an anxious cop, a cub reporter, and an eccentric professor - all raced to solve the crime. What emerged was a sensational love triangle and an even more sensational trial: an unprecedented capital case hinging on circumstantial evidence around a victim that the police couldn't identify with certainty - and that the defense claimed wasn't even dead.
The Murder of the Century is a rollicking tale - a rich evocation of America during the Gilded Age and a colorful re-creation of the tabloid wars that have dominated media to this day.
©2011 Paul Collins (P)2011 AudioGo
"Wonderfully rich in period detail, salacious facts about the case and infectious wonder at the chutzpah and inventiveness displayed by Pulitzer's and Hearst's minions. Both a gripping true-crime narrative and an astonishing portrait of fin de siecle yellow journalism." (Kirkus Reviews)
"A dismembered corpse and rival newspapers squabbling for headlines fuel Collins's intriguing look at the birth of 'yellow journalism' in late 19th-century New York. [A]n in-depth account of the exponential growth of lurid news and the public's (continuing) insatiable appetite for it." (Publishers Weekly)
"Well worth the credit!"
A very "listenable" book, factual, but well presented, interesting and captivating. A fascinating history of a short period in journalism - perfectly read!
Online Grad Student, I prefer audiobooks to bound books. Preferences: history, disasters, Preston/Child, Lee Child
"Great look at NYC crime, forensics, and journalism"
This is a well narrated audiobook of murder, forensics, and the incredible power and resources of yellow journalism in NYC at the turn of the 20th century. Pulitzer and Hearst battle to scoop each other in a grisly murder of a mutilated German-American. Forensic and courtroom procedures are described in stark contrast to today's format. The story swirls around collusion between the police and reporters, the handling of evidence, the subject of abortion, the conditions of the Tombs jail, the consolidation of the five boroughs into one municipality, and the apex of yellow journalism where news is made, not reported. Great story, especially if you're from NYC.
We bite
"Loved it"
Didn't know what to expect. I had been looking for a book to spark my interest in audio again, and this was it. Very tight writing. Intriguing story intermingled with a background of newspaper rivalries. Narration was perfect.
"Perfect summer read and possibly more"
Details really bring the era to life without slowing the pace and pitch of the story, which unfolds like a police procedural and courtroom drama among other things. The author does not preach against sensationalism, but instead wisely shows us that even more than a century later, some have never managed to evolve (the brouhaha surrounding high-profile cases). Competent narration rounds out this perfect package.
I could listen to this story more than once, first for fast paced and interesting story and then the wonderful narrative reading. The story does get bit a graphic on the details of the murder but what would you expect, it's about a murder. The story never slows up and you are placed into that time period with fluidity of the story's timeline. I loved learning about the history of the papers and really enjoyed the writer including the epilogue. I will go out and buy the book to see if I missed anything. I love a book that makes you want to do more research on the time period because it opens your eyes to a different time.
"true to the age"
the newspaper angle and how tabloids got started
engaging and good performance
long but excellent
iloved the deatails of police work in late 18s00
"Great Crime Story"
Being a history buff I was fascinated to listen to a story about how life was back at the end of the 19th Century and the beginning of the 20th. I really enjoyed learning about how police work, and court proceedings how they differ (and for that matter how they led to today's forensic evidence handling) today.
The description of the execution proceeding and it's aftermath.
The description of the trial proceeding and how well it was arranged and conducted.
No, but it was fascinating.
"Very Interesting"
Interesting, knowledgable, thorough
Defense council was portrayed very well by the narrator
He had a great way of distinguishing each character's voice and brought out emotion in the dialogue. William Dufris did a great job!
The package no one wants to open
An old broad that enjoys books of all types. Would rather read than write reviews though. I know what I like, and won't be bothered by crap.
"War of the Newspapers!"
Definitely! It was a great listen. New York City in the age of Tammany Hall and Pulitzer vs. Hearst duking it out in their tabloids. What's not to like?
Compulsion by Ira Levin, which was a novel about the Leopold/ Loeb murderers. This story is true though, and much more compelling because it is factual.
The scene I remember the most is when Augusta returns to the prison and asks for a job. I think she missed the attention she got as a high profile prisoner.
I enjoyed the book immensely but would never sit for 10 hours to finish any book...
This is a wonderfully written and narrated story about a real life murder in 1897 New York City. The most important thing about the narrative is the early police force, (fingerprints were not reliable at that time) and how the newsmen and women were just as likely to gather the clues as the cops. It was an important step in beginning a cohesive way to solve crimes and a lot of the people involved learned a great deal from being involved in this case.
Addicted to Audible!
"Exceptionally BORING"
I love murder mysteries, especially when they are true. This one misses the boat. It is slow moving,boring, bogged down in unnecessary detail and read in a monotone. Perhaps if the story interests you speed reading the book might be a good idea, you could pass over the dull parts!
