We're about health
Shaklee is the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S. Why?
The logical reasons are many:
- Over $250 million invested in clinical testing, research, and development
- Over 83,000 tests annually for product quality
- Over 100 scientific papers, 90 of them published in peer-reviewed journals
- Quality far beyond industry standards
But the real reason is much less quantifiable. It's passion.
We think health is the most important thing in the whole world. Without it, you have nothing else.
So everything that goes into every Shaklee bottle is designed to make you healthy. And to do it so well you tell your friends about it.
Dr. Shaklee's vision was to give people the wealth of health. We still think that's the best idea to build a company on.

Streak: North Dakota State, 2 wins
For the third-straight year Georgia Southern (10-3) will play in the FCS Semifinals and for a second-straight year will travel to North Dakota State (12-1) for the game. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. Friday night on ESPN2.
The Eagles will play on Friday night for the first time in school history and for just the fourth time on a day other than Saturday.
Friday will be the third series meeting between the two schools with the last two coming in the FCS Semifinals. North Dakota State has won both previous contests.
GSU is 45-12 all-time and is 12-9 away from Statesboro in the playoffs. Their 45 playoff wins ranks first in the FCS.
The Eagles' offense leads the Southern Conference in scoring offense, total offense and rushing offense.
They also rank first in the FCS in rushing offense, eighth in total offense and 9th in scoring offense.
QB Jerick McKinnon and B-Back Dominique Swope are the only two SoCon teammates to rank in the top-5 in rushing. They also are second and third in the league in scoring, respectively.
Georgia Southern's defense leads the Southern Conference in sacks, while DE Javon Mention and DE Dion DuBose rank fourth and seventh in sacks, respectively.
QB Jerick McKinnon's 1,649 rushing yards on the year ranks fourth all-time in school history and is 283 yards shy of tying Adrian Peterson's school record of 1,932 yards.
The Eagles are the FCS' winningest team with more than 50 games played, posting a .722 winning percentage and 287 all-time wins.
Head Coach Jeff Monken has now led the Eagles to 10 or more wins in each of his three seasons at the helm of the program. He joins Paul Johnson as the only two Eagle coaches to have won 10 or more games in their first three seasons.
Monken is also a finalist for the Liberty Mutual FCS Coach of the Year Award. Fans can cast their vote by visiting coachoftheyear.com.
The last set of Military Appreciation Day camouflage jerseys are up for auction now through Sunday. The shortened website is tinyurl.com/camojerseys2012.
For just the fifth time in school history, Georgia Southern has two 1,000-yard rushers in the same season. QB Jerick McKinnon and B-Back Dominique Swope have combined for 2,818 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns this season.
McKinnon has three of the top-90 single-game rushing performances in the FCS this season. His latest of 171 yards and four touchdowns against Old Dominion ranks 89th in the country.
McKinnon has scored multiple rushing touchdowns in four- straight games and five of the last six contests.
LB John Stevenson needs just one more tackle to reach 100 tackles for the season. The former walk-on would be the first Eagle to reach that mark since Josh Rowe in 2010.
DT Brent Russell needs just a half sack to become the school's career sack leader.
The Eagles have converted 44.7 percent of their third downs, while holding their opponents to a 37.0 percent conversion rate.
Georgia Southern has not been shutout in 218 consecutive games dating back to a 45-0 loss to Montana in the 1995 FCS Playoffs.
The Eagles' 602 rushing yards at Old Dominion were the second most in the SoCon this season.
Georgia Southern has tallied 300 or more yards of total offense in all but one game this season.
The Eagles' 29 rushing first downs at Old Dominion were the second most in the SoCon this season.
QB Jerick McKinnon's 24 points and four touchdowns scored at Old Dominion tied for the most scored by a player in the SoCon this season, while his four rushing touchdowns are the most in the SoCon.
Georgia Southern ranks first all-time with 45 playoff wins and six National Championships. Georgia Southern also currently stands fourth all-time in most NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff appearances.
Eleven members of the Georgia Southern football team are set to graduate Friday, including Brian Wilcher, Tyler Sumner, Zach Reckers, Russell DeMasi, Markus Farmer, John Stevenson, Blake DeBartola, A.J. McCray, Brent Russell, Darreion Robinson, Dion DuBose, Zach York and Brandon Lane. Of those 11 Sumner, DeMasi, Stevenson, DeBartola, McCray, Russell, Robinson, DuBose and York are likely on the travel roster and will forgo the graduation ceremony to play in Friday's game.
Of QB Jerick McKinnon's 1,649 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns this season, 1,056 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns have come in during the stretch run of the last six games, which featured three FCS Playoff teams in Appalachian State, Central Arkansas and Old Dominion and one FBS squad in Georgia. The junior has also rushed for 1,294 yards and 15 touchdowns since taking over the quarterback role against Western Carolina.
Four members of the Georgia Southern Football team were named All-Americans, including Brent Russell, Dorian Byrd, Garrett Frye and Dion DuBose. Russell repeated as a Sports Network First Team selection, while Garrett Frye was a third team selection. Dorian Byrd and Dion DuBose were both named Third Team All-Americans by College Sports Madness.
McKINNON NEARING THE MILE MARKER
With 111 more yards, Jerick McKinnon will reach the one mile mark in rushing yards for the 2012 season. One mile is the same as 1,760 yards.
With Georgia Southern's 2012 semifinal appearance, the Eagles made themselves the only team to reach the FCS Semifinals for three-straight years.
The Eagles have reached the semifinals of the NCAA Division I Football Playoffs on 13 occasions. The following season, Georgia Southern has averaged 11.0 victories and 2.75 losses. In those seasons the Eagles have reached the playoffs 11 times and won five National Championships, reaching the semifinals or further in 10 seasons.
QB Jerick McKinnon and B-Back Dominique Swope both rushed for 1,000 yards this season, making it just the fifth time in school history and the first time since 2005 in which the Eagles have had two 1,000-yard rushers. McKinnon crossed the 1,000-yard plateau against Howard, while Swope reached 1,000 yards against Old Dominion.
Sophomore B-Back Dominique Swope is the first Eagle since Jermaine Austin in 2002 and 2003 to run for 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons. Only one Eagle has ran for 1,000 yards in all four seasons, Adrian Peterson.
QB Jerick McKinnon enters Friday's game against North Dakota State with 1,649 yards on the year. That total ranks as the fourth-best season for a rusher and the second-best total for a quarterback.

For Parents
Home > Wellness & Safety > For Parents > Should I Worry About the Way My Son Walks?
My 15-month-old son walks with his feet turned in. My pediatrician assured me that it's normal and that he'll outgrow it. But I'm still worried. Won't walking this way hurt him? Will he be able to play sports? Isn't there something that doctors can do to straighten out his stride? - Esther
Many toddlers walk with their feet turned in, a tendency sometimes referred to as "walking pigeon-toed." The medical name for it is in-toeing, and it usually corrects itself without any medical treatment. In most cases children go on to walk, run, and play sports without any problems.
In the past, special shoes and braces were used to treat in-toeing. But doctors found that these devices didn't make in-toeing disappear any faster, so they're not typically used anymore.
What causes in-toeing? As babies are growing in the womb, the tibia bones (the large bones between the knees and ankles) rotate inward to accommodate the baby's fit within the uterus. Sometimes the femur bones (the bones between the hips and knees) also turn inward. So when children are learning to walk, their feet often turn in.
In-toeing usually disappears as kids develop and improve walking skills, usually around 4 to 6 years old.
Since in-toeing usually disappears gradually, it can be difficult for parents to notice any improvement from day to day. Doctors often suggest that parents who are concerned about in-toeing take a video of the child walking (from the front and the back) and take another video 1 year later. By watching and comparing the videos it's easier to determine whether the in-toeing has improved. If it has not, talk with your doctor.
In some cases in-toeing is a sign of an injury or illness, and the child needs evaluation and possible treatment. Call the doctor if your child:

One of the more recent sports to be added to the Olympics is taekwondo, it was added as a medal sport in 2000. Maybe it became more popular after hundreds of American children started taking classes. Regardless of being one of the sports that they air at 2:00am on NBC maybe Steven Lopez will give you a reason to DVR. For Lopez taekwondo is a family event his siblings Mark and Diana also compete on Team USA. His other sibling Jean is the coach.
Reasons to love Lopez:
1. His favorite movies are "Braveheart" and "Forrest Gump."
2. In terms of his favorite food it is his mother's cooking. Awww.
3. He appeared in People's Magazine 50 Most Beautiful People. I definitely agree with that choice.
4. Lopez already has two gold medals in taekwondo and is going for his 3rd this year.
5. They call him the Michael Jordon of taekwondo . . . does that mean he makes a much money?

And, as you may or may not be able to see, in addition to the big tear, there are a bunch of smaller holes and weak areas. Kind of beyond mending, unfortunately.. |
Okay, it may not actually be my favorite dress. (I don't know that I really have one.) And when I first made it, I didn't like it much at all. But since then--it's been about a year and a half--it's become probably my number one wardrobe staple. With the sole exception of a jacket that I wear nearly every day, I've worn this dress more than any other thing I've made. It's very versatile; I was thinking just this morning, as I paired it with yet another odd assortment of other garments, that I think I've worn it at least once with every pair of tights I own. Which is saying something.
I am sad. If I could think of a way to patch it, I would (have done). But it didn't really seem doable. So now I've cut off the damaged part, which wound up being four and a half inches, to see if I'd still wear it at that length. I haven't bothered to hem it yet, because I've determined that I most probably will not.
Realistically, I know that this is a lot closer to the length of skirts most women my age actually wear (and it's a lot better for freedom of movement, too) but it's still a bit short for me. Here's what it looked like at the original length. Now--I just don't know.
It was really the top part I liked, though--the skirt was always kind of meh--and I still like that enough to keep, so I guess now I'll be on the lookout for some navy blue fabric of a certain consistency, and try to redo the skirt. (Unless anyone has any other suggestions?) It probably won't be the same, but maybe it'll be good enough...

Study: Sooty air lowers birth weight
SOOTY air pollution in towns and cities increases the chance of women giving birth to small babies, research has shown.
SOOTY air pollution in towns and cities increases the chance of women giving birth to small babies, research has shown.
A study involving millions of births around the world found that higher pollution levels raised the risk of low birth weight.
Newborns are underweight if they weigh less than 2.5kg, or 5lb 8oz. They face an increased risk of dying in infancy, as well as chronic poor health and impaired mental development.
The study, the largest of its kind, focused on tiny carbon particles called PM10s and even smaller PM2.5s, which are known to be linked to heart and lung problems. They originate from sources such as diesel exhausts and the chimneys of coal-fired power stations.
Professor Tanja Pless-Mulloli, who led the UK arm of the study at the University of Newcastle, said: "As air pollution increases we can see that more babies are smaller at birth, which in turn puts them at risk of poor health later in life."

Be the first of your friends to like this.
If it's not 197x and you're animating something created by Leiji Matsumoto (Galaxy Express 999, Captain Harlock), you have your work cut out for you. This is no fault of Matsumoto's, but his art is just something that doesn't tend to mesh well with modern production techniques. It turns out this holds true for the latest Matsumoto anime, Ozma, which just started streaming this past weekend.
The streaming situation is actually one of the more interesting things about Ozma. Online startup Viki recently announced the series would be streaming worldwide, and that's no exaggeration. The show is streaming in 200 countries 24 hours after its broadcast on Japan's WOWOW channel. If you want to check out Ozma before reading impressions, it's available via Crunchyroll.
With anime veteran Ryousuke Takahashi (Armored Trooper Votoms, Gasaraki) serving as chief director, Ozma is based on a 30-year-old script that was never produced. The story follows Sam, voiced by Tetsuya Kakihara (Fairy Tail's Natsu Dragneel), a young man who is after an enormous sand whale known as Ozma. His desert search goes awry when he runs across Maya, a mysterious woman being pursued by the Theseus Army. The only thing that manages to throw a wrench in their pursuit is Ozma itself, as it suddenly bursts from the sandy sea, providing Sam and Maya a window of opportunity to flee back to base camp.
This is where much of the first episode takes place, casually introducing viewers to the various characters that take up residence on the vessel on which Sam resides. Initially floored by the appearance of the gorgeous Matsumoto stylings of Maya, they quickly take arms as her pursuing forces show up to claim what's theirs.
Ozma is the first major anime project from Leiji Matsumoto in five years, and it fares about as well as anything else from the past couple of decades. The animation production from Gonzo and LandQ Studios is pretty bare and uninspiring. Characters move stiffly, and the whole thing has a gloss to it that really doesn't complement Matsumoto's art style. His wispy character designs tend to look more at home in productions from the 70s and 80s, understandably, but that might have been easier to overlook if the animation had more life to it. As it stands, Ozma has some decent looking backgrounds and that's about it.
It's tough to gauge whether or not the story will float after just one episode. Ozma's narrative success is dependent on what happens after the closing moment, which I won't spoil here. With just five more episodes to look forward to, let's hope it takes a more interesting turn sooner than later. If you're curious about it, or just can't resist anything Matsumoto, it might be worth your time, but I'm not terribly excited about seeing more of Ozma's dry desert world.

StreetEasy's Most Wanted: Climbing to new heights (Prospect Heights, that is)
by Sara Alessi | 4/05/13 - 8:57 AMSurprise! Brooklyn in general and Prospect Heights in particular are the stars of this week's edition of StreetEasy's Most Wanted -- the top 10 sales listings those browsing StreetEasy this week saved more often than any others. So if Prospect Heights is up your alley, take notes on these family-sized apartments under a million bucks.
Let's start with a renovated $765k three-bedroom, two-bathroom co-op on the corner of Park Place and Vanderbilt Avenue with maintenance set at an incredibly low $180 and reportedly set to sink lower, with shareholders expecting to receive dividends within the next three years, according to the listing.
Real Estate Want: A two-story wall of windows
by Julie Inzanti | 4/04/13 - 4:16 PMThis East 9th Street, garden-level, $17K per month rental has nearly 3,500 square feet, 3-beds, 2.5-baths and an incredible two-story wall of windows leading to a private courtyard just off the kitchen/dining area.
Even if you're trapped inside during the April showers, you can still feel like you're enjoying the great outdoors!
It might be time to invest in a few Adirondack chairs and animal pelts (faux, of course) because with the rustic wood ceiling beams and exposed brick, this place feels more like a mountain lodge than an apartment in the East Village....
Real Estate Want is a weekly column featuring New York City apartment details we're coveting right now.
Rent Coach: Can I overstay my lease?
by Mike Akerly | 4/04/13 - 1:03 PMQ. My lease is coming to an end this month, but I'd like to stay on a couple of extra months for my daughter to finish school (which we chose because it's in our neighborhood). Can I stay on without officially renewing my lease?
A. If you are a market rate tenant and neither you or your landlord move to extend your lease further, you would become a month-to-month tenant if your landlord continues to accept rent from you. In that case, either party could terminate the lease upon thirty days notice.
Your landlord can increase your rent during this period with your consent (or change any other terms of the tenancy). In the event you don't consent, your landlord could choose to provide thirty days notice of termination.
Alternatively, you could ask your landlord for a new lease that terminates at the time that you wish to leave. This would provide certainty with regards to the rent you be charged and security that you will not be forced to leave sooner than you wished. Given that you're looking to depart during the busy summer rental season, your landlord may find this to be an attractive option.

The SoHo Memory Project: One eye on the past, and the other on the $45 million penthouse across the street
by Julie Inzanti | 4/04/13 - 10:43 AMYukie Ohta, founder of The SoHo Memory Project, was born in SoHo in the1960s and currently lives in the same building where she grew up. The loft she lives in (owned by her family) is one floor up from the once she grew up in and has been split into two living spaces for her family and her sister's family. It is one of six units in a four-story cast iron building on Mercer Street built in 1898.
Being the true New Yorker that she is, Ohta went to the SoHo community playgroup, P.S. 3, I.S. 70, Stuyvesant High School before enrolling in Barnard College.
She has lived all over the city, from Greenwich VIllage to the Upper West Side and as far out as Brooklyn--but has always considered SoHo her home and says she will probably never leave.
Launched in 2011, The SoHo Memory Project covers the history of Soho from the 1960s to today--including the art scene as well as the diverse community of SoHo, including the families, businesses, community groups and basically all creative activity (photographs, sound recordings, video, etc.).
Ohta hopes that the blog will be a record of the lost community of SoHo comprised of myriad memories and experiences.

- A hallway bathroom instead of en suite I would have the bathroom entrance be from the hall so you didn't have to go through the bedroom to get into it. We'd just have to rearrange every feature of the bathroom but technically it can be done. - Millie, Carroll Gardens
- No more scaffolding They have just built scaffolding right up against my window. I live on the top floor and never thought I'd have to deal with people outside my window! But not only are there people, one of those people left his cup of coffee sitting on the sill outside my window. So there's litter now, too. - Yancy, Harlem

Need a new front door? Emerald Doors can guide you
by Leah Hochbaum Rosner | 4/03/13 - 12:14 PMEntry doors serve an important function. They keep the elements at bay, deter would-be burglars, and add or detract from the overall look and value of your home.
So when you need to replace one, it can be a surprisingly tough decision, says Peter Pastor, owner of Astoria-based Emerald Doors—the subject of this week's Real. Est. List Spotlight Series.
Established in 2010, Emerald Doors installs doors, window gates and locks of all types, but specializes in cellar doors and the doors most common in New York City apartment buildings: fire-rated doors (steel doors that are specially designed to contain fire).
Pastor says he decided to go into the business when he realized that many people were ripping clients off and speaking in terms they couldn't understand.
A onetime locksmith who learned about doors while fixing locks, Pastor was determined that his business would be different.
Dear Ms. Demeanor: Help me write a letter to my frisky neighbors
by Jamie Lauren Sutton | 4/03/13 - 11:25 AMDear Ms. Demeanor,
My neighbors have loud (porn-style) sex almost every night between 1 and 2 in the morning. I'm too embarrassed to say anything, but it's really annoying and I can't sleep. Can you recommend a well-worded letter?
The Accidental Voyeur
Dear Accidental Voyeur,
A delicately worded letter for a delicate matter... So many of our readers complain of noisy neighbors but the hardest ones to deal with head on, as it were, are those whose sighs of intimate pleasure are more like screams.
To attempt coitus interruptus, we've heard of neighbors placing prank calls mid-session, as well as ringing the doorbell and then running away. Some publicly shame the moaners by telling other neighbors about it. But we still think a firm, but fair letter is the most mature way to go.
10 ways to be an awesome board member
by Tripp Whetsell | 4/03/13 - 8:57 AMPhoto Credit / Traci Lawson
The recent racial discrimination lawsuit between longtime African American resident Alphonse Fletcher Jr. and two board members at the legendary Dakota co-op sent a major wake-up call to the estimated 40,000 unpaid volunteers who currently serve on co-op and condo boards throughout the city. Among other things, it opened up the door to personal liabiility for board members in certain types of lawsuits.
The case also signifies what a slippery, if not treacherous, slope the job can often be to navigate even at the best of buildings.
"While the vast majority of co-op and condo boards members are able to do this successfully, it's obviously not possible all the time," underscores Mary Ann Rothman of the Council of New York Cooperatives and Condominiums, a non-profit membership organization for co-op and condo owners.
If you're thinking about running--or already serve on your building's board--follow these suggestions for a smoother tenure that (hopefully) won't end in a courtroom....
Ask an Expert: Do all co-ops have the same ridiculous liquid fund requirements?
by Teri Karush Rogers | 4/02/13 - 2:16 PMPhoto Credit / oinonio
Q. I'm searching for an apartment to buy and I'd like to know how to find coops that don't require 1 or 2 years mortgage and maintenance in liquid funds. This seems like a ridiculous request if you have the equivalent in a Roth IRA which would be accessible.
I've found one co-op that will consider far less with 10 years or greater employment history with one's current employer. What other options are out there and how do I find them?
A. This requirement is not unusual--nor is it universal. The challenge is finding a more flexible board, say our experts.
"There are plenty of co-ops whose rules are more lenient," says real estate attorney Adam Stone of Regosin, Edwards, Stone & Feder. "But those generally will not be the Fifth Avenue or Park Avenue buildings. It may not be possible to know a building's particular rules before going to see the apartment. But once you know who the managing agent is you can request a copy of the coop application and ask if there are any predetermined guidelines for applicants."

In anticipation of peak rental season, BrickUnderground is taking a closer look at the holy grail of NYC apartments: the no-fee rental.
If you've found an apartment in the last 12 months without paying a broker's fee, we invite you to pay it forward by telling us how you found it--along with any other suggestions for fellow apartment hunters looking to get so lucky.
We will combine your collective intelligence with our own sleuthing and wrap it all up in a blog post later this spring (so if you haven't found your no-fee apartment yet, be sure to check back for the latest no-fee intel).
The StreetEasy Hot Dozen: 12 rentals that may or may not be available by the time you read this
by Alex Hughes | 4/02/13 - 10:42 AMAmong the apartments making it onto this week's Hot Dozen--the 12 rental apartments Streeteasy.com visitors clicked on most often over the past seven days--are several no-fee options on the Upper West and Far Upper West Side.
At 244 West 99th Street and Broadway, you'll find six floors of furnished rooms for rent from $1,400-$2,300/month. The listing calls them studios, but you will be sharing a bathroom and kitchen with your neighbors. They're available on a flexible short-term basis, from one to 10 months. On the bright side, the bathrooms are cleaned daily by the staff and they're newly renovated. The apartments sounds like an adult dormitory and may be suitable for those in a pinch, or for interns looking for summer housing.
Condops demystified: What they are, why you should care--and how to find one
by Marjorie Cohen | 4/02/13 - 8:57 AMSponsor apartments aren't the only perplexing apartment type you may have run across while browsing through sales listings. If you've also been puzzled by the description of an apartment as a condop, you're not alone.
In fact, a condop is probably one of the most misunderstood designations in New York real estate.
When asked to define a condop, one long-time broker told us simply: "I'm not really sure. Is it legal? Sounds kind of wishy washy to me."
What's a condop?
Condops are, in fact, completely legal--they're just not very common. They're a category created by owners and developers in the 1980's who wanted to get around an IRS rule that threatened to stifle their profits.
The Open House Scorecard: The calendar says it's springtime. So do the most popular open houses.
by Emily Feldman | 4/01/13 - 1:57 PMBuyers, perhaps salivating for summer, seem to have their eyes trained on windows and outdoor space this past weekend, as half the properties on this week's StreetEasy Open House Scorecard—the 10 open houses saved on StreetEasy more often than any others this weekend—boast some sort of open-air area, from balconies and rooftops to courtyards and sundecks.
Let's start with the bright, modern Flatiron-district $1.24 million one-bedroom condo pictured here. The lofty corner unit has 11 foot ceilings gets a double dose of sunlight from the south and east. A set of French doors in the living/dining area opens to double Juliet balconies. Owners also have access to a two-tiered Mediterranean style sundeck. The kitchen is no mere kitchen but a "freestanding kitchen pod" outfitted with the usual high-end appliances; it can apparently be closed off when not in use.

The Palm Beach Post reports that three former Palm Beach County football players were dismissed from the Marshall University football team on Wednesday, and one of them — Palm Beach Gardens Dwyer alum DT Mike Fleurizard — faces robbery charges.
Also let go were Belle Glade Glades Central graduate RB Antwon Chisholm and former Pahokee WR Fred Pickett. All three were incoming freshmen.
The Huntington (W.Va.) Herald-Dispatch reports that search warrants filed in Cabell County (W.Va.) Magistrate Court link Fleurizard and Chisholm to a Saturday, July 31, robbery of a Papa John's pizza delivery man. A criminal complaint charges that Fleurizard, also on Saturday, worked with two others to rob a Z Brick Pizza delivery man on the university's campus.

2013: Vitalism and Value
With the publication of Future Shock by Alvin Toffler in 1977 the American public was introduced to the concept of "futurists" and their work. Since that time the methods used by futurists have been refined and they now represent an important planning tool for governments, corporations, institutions and individuals.
In 1977 Alvin Toffler, James Dator and Clem Bezold founded a futurist work group known as The Institute for Alternative Futures www.altfutures.org. Today Dr. Bezold serves as the Chairman of the Board and senior futurist for the IAF.
In March 2013 the IAF released a report looking at the future of the chiropractic profession entitled Chiropractic: 2025. In this scenario approach to looking at various futures the earlier work of The Octagon was noted and highlighted by Dr. Bezold and colleagues. Obviously we at The Octagon are appreciative of the acknowledgement provided by the IAF, but more importantly we are very excited that an organization such as the IAF and a futurist such as Dr. Bezold appreciated the potential in the areas in which we have been active.
The question before us at The Octagon, in light of Chiropractic: 2025 is 'what can be done to bring about the possible future outlined by the IAF in "Vitalism and Value", the fourth scenario of their report?' To this end The Octagon Conference 2013 was reconfigured and rescheduled to immediately respond and react to this opportunity.
On September 12-14, 2013 an invitational group of leaders representing futurists, health care providers, policy advisors, researchers and consumers will gather to explore a re-engineering of "Vitalism and Value" with a goal toward the development of strategies to hasten the arrival of the reality envisioned by the IAF in this scenario. On Saturday, September 14, 2013 the closing session of The Octagon 2013 will include an open session for all interested parties to present the thoughts of the conferees and to outline a series of next steps with respect to the fulfillment of the vision of "Vitalism and Values"
We thank you for your interest in The Octagon and we encourage you to follow our efforts here at www.lifeoctagon.org

Q. "What keeps you coming back to TPU."
A. 1) Great, friendly, helpful community. I'm as happy to give advice as to receive it, 2) Great reviews by all the reviewers, 3) A chance to see interesting product launches... and also to belittle the "nonsense" products and PR BS that sometimes we see C+P here, 4) Clean quick fast site

I was reading on another site the other day, the discussion was about some gpu review, can't remember what exactly, but someone there was saying to "go read the reviews at TPU!" The gist of his comment was that TPU puts more thorough work into their reviews than all other places, and i agree with that. I mean, we have W1zz reviewing everything in depth, putting 2560x and eyefinity resolution into the mix with all the top games= Quality! And That's not limited to gpus, our motherboard and memory reviews are spot on ( to cadaveca), keyboards, headphones, psus... and the list continues to be awesome.
The friendly and helpful spirit is really the deciding factor in actually participating in this great forum. Other places do not have that friendly spirit; many others are condescending and/arrogant, or just downright ridiculous. Many reasons to why TPU is such a great place. But, the "unlocking of shaders of a 6950" is what originally brought me here before ever even buying the card, and it's all been great since then!

A few questions: -Whoever enters this contest...will we have the chance to cancel our submissions if the prize revealed doesn't interest us? -Will you be awarding the prizes based on how many people entered in the beginning for the first prize, then later for the second prize, etc. ?

whenever i needed tech related help, i always relied on the techpowerup community, they would give me the best advice and save my money too
need to gift a friend tech thing or need to build his rig : techpowerup would always help out computer goes wrong, dont know whats the problem, tried everything : techpowerup has more ways you can try and solve the issue like a game, but it has no people online, post it on techpowerup : hundred people will come online in a day need to buy sell or giveaway some things or some stuff : techpower community would support you. I can go on and on, but to brief it out i would say the "without techpowerup i wouldnt have the knowledge or things i have today, thanks techpowerup ".

Sleep remains a mysterious, but necessary, process
These days it's easy to dose a bad night's sleep the day after with coffee or energy supplements.
But research now reveals that nightly eight hours might affect more than just whether we feel drowsy during an afternoon meeting. Sleep can affect how much money we make, what we eat and where we live.
That's what journalist David Randall discovered in researching :Dreamland: Adventures in the Strange Science of Sleep: (Norton, $25.95), which explores the little-understood world of sleep, a science that many believe is on the cusp of its golden age.

On the other hand, if I knew someone really didn't like the birthday song, I would never try to sing the song to her...
It's possible that she has very bad associations with the birthday song. If my friends "forgot" that I hated a particular song to the point that I run out of the room to get away from it, I'd probably hang up too.
I am so over people expecting everyone else to know what their "bad associations" are and expect the whole world to change for them. There is a time you need to take a deep breath and get over things. Especially when someone is going out of their way for you.

Head Start Takes on Asthma with Awareness Campaign
Head Start takes on Asthma with awareness campaign OHS partners with EPA, distributes toolkit to combat most-common childhood disease
Asthma is the most common chronic childhood disease nationwide, impacting the lives and families of 6.3 million children nationwide.
With nearly a million children in its Head Start program, the Administration for Children and Families has a great opportunity to combat the disease through the power of information sharing.
Studies have documented that pre-school aged children have an exposure rate of 20 percent to secondhand smoke and are at a greater risk for developing asthma.
By providing early learning child care staff and families with information about comprehensive asthma environmental management practices and secondhand smoke prevention, children will be less at risk and live in healthier environments.
ACF initiated an Interagency Workgroup with representatives from the southeast offices of Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Head Start and Office of Child Care. Back in 2007, these agencies entered into a partnership with a formal Memorandum of Understanding to combine efforts to conduct outreach and deliver health risk reduction messages related to secondhand smoke and other environmental asthma triggers.
Outreach strategies from this workgroup aim to increase awareness and educate staff and families about environmental health risk factors to young children, as well as facilitate access to resources that can be integrated easily into ongoing Head Start and Child Care program activities.
The workgroup also collaborated with Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (which administers Pre-Kindergarten and the state's early care education programs) and also with the Georgia Head Start State Collaboration Office (that builds collaborative partnerships between federally funded Head Start programs and state-funded early childhood programs) to support this initiative.
A pilot project was designed to narrow the information gap and broaden pre-school staff understanding of how better to incorporate environmental education into program activities utilizing the Region IV Asthma Resource Toolkit developed by the workgroup.
Recognizing that children's early experiences impact the quality of their long-term growth and health, the Toolkit is a comprehensive resource that details how to maintain a healthy environment and provides a collection of educational materials that include asthma assessment checklists and recommendations for addressing areas of concerns.
The project was piloted in two counties in the state of Georgia (Bibb and Lowndes). These counties were selected based on the high incidence of asthma cases among young children reported in 2000-2008 data obtained from the Georgia Department of Public Health.
In each county, a Head Start program and two child care learning centers were selected resulting in a total of 10 centers, 50 classrooms and 880 children participating in the project.

Rubio, Risch demand information on Benghazi suspect
Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and James Risch (R-Idaho) and demanded Wednesday that the White House turn over any evidence that U.S. officials have about a suspect in last year's attack in Benghazi, Libya.
The two senators cited discrepancies in the testimony of Obama administration officials about Ali Ani al-Harzi.
Hillary Clinton testified last month that Tunisia released suspect al-Harzi because "there was not an ability for evidence to be presented yet that was capable of being presented in an open court."
But President Obama's counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, said during his confirmation hearing to be CIA director that the administration had nothing on al-Harzi at all.
"The Tunisians did not have a basis in their law to hold him," Brennan said last week. "We didn't have anything on him, either, because if we did, we would have made a point to the Tunisians to turn him over to us, but we didn't have that."
Four Americans, including Amb. Chris Stevens, died in the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya. Republicans have grown increasingly critical of the failure by the FBI and foreign governments to charge anyone more than five months after the attack, with Rubio suggesting during Brennan's hearing that al-Harzi's release shows U.S. cooperation with countries like Tunisia isn't working.
"Well, we have someone who was a suspect in the potential attack on — in the attack on Benghazi. They didn't give us access to him and we don't have any information from him," Rubio said at the hearing. "That doesn't sound like a good system of working with our foreign partners."
"No," Brennan responded, "it shows that the Tunisians are working with their rule of law, as well, just the way we do."

Dee Dee Myers: Why Clinton Can't Win (With the Press)

Dee Dee Myers: Is Hillary's Feminine Touch the Answer?
When Hillary Clinton won the New Hampshire primary just four weeks ago (why does it seem more like four months?), she became the first American woman ever to win a presidential primary, a fact that...
Dee Dee Myers: The Free-Pass Sexism of the Hillary-Hate Brigade
Sometimes, the current presidential campaign makes me feel like Cole, the troubled boy played by Haley Joel Osment in the 1999 film The Sixth Sense. I see things no one else seems to see. Thankfully,...

Dee Dee Myers: Barack, Think Twice Before You Mess with Bill
Mondays Democratic debate in Myrtle Beach took a turn for the personal, as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama duked it out over issues both germane (health care and jobs) and sleazy (Wal-Mart and Antoin Rezko?)....

Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood (Khram Spasa na Krovi)
Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood (Khram Spasa na Krovi) Review
The highly ornate, old-Russian style of this colorful church seems more Moscow than St. Petersburg, where the architecture is generally more subdued and subtle; indeed, the architect, Alfred Parland, was consciously aiming to copy Moscow's St. Basil's. The drama of the circumstances leading to the church's inception more than matches the frenzy of its design, however. It was commissioned by Alexander III to memorialize the death of his father, Alexander II, who was killed on the site in 1881 by a terrorist's bomb. The height of the cathedral, 81 meters, symbolizes the year of Alexander II's death.
The church opened in 1907 but was closed by Stalin in the 1930s. It suffered damage over time, especially throughout World War II, but underwent meticulous reconstruction for decades and finally reopened at the end of the 20th century. The interior is as extravagant as the exterior, with glittering stretches of mosaic from floor to ceiling (70,000 square feet in total). Stone carvings and gold leaf adorn the walls, the floors are made of pink Italian marble, and the remarkable altar is constructed entirely of semiprecious gems and supported by four jasper columns. Blinded by all this splendor, you could easily overlook the painted scenes of martyrdom, including one that draws a parallel between the tsar's death and the crucifixion of Christ. Across the road there's an exhibit that takes a compelling look at the life of Alexander II.

Charles Dickens: The Old Curiosity ShopCHAPTER 30 (continued)'The Valiant Soldier, by James Groves. Good beds. Cheap entertainment for man and beast,' said Mr Groves, quoting his sign-board. 'Half-past twelve o'clock.' 'It's very late,' said the uneasy child. 'I wish we had gone before. What will they think of us! It will be two o'clock by the time we get back. What would it cost, sir, if we stopped here?' 'Two good beds, one-and-sixpence; supper and beer one shilling; total two shillings and sixpence,' replied the Valiant Soldier. Now, Nell had still the piece of gold sewn in her dress; and when she came to consider the lateness of the hour, and the somnolent habits of Mrs Jarley, and to imagine the state of consternation in which they would certainly throw that good lady by knocking her up in the middle of the night--and when she reflected, on the other hand, that if they remained where they were, and rose early in the morning, they might get back before she awoke, and could plead the violence of the storm by which they had been overtaken, as a good apology for their absence--she decided, after a great deal of hesitation, to remain. She therefore took her grandfather aside, and telling him that she had still enough left to defray the cost of their lodging, proposed that they should stay there for the night. 'If I had had but that money before--If I had only known of it a few minutes ago!' muttered the old man. 'We will decide to stop here if you please,' said Nell, turning hastily to the landlord. 'I think that's prudent,' returned Mr Groves. 'You shall have your suppers directly.' Accordingly, when Mr Groves had smoked his pipe out, knocked out the ashes, and placed it carefully in a corner of the fire-place, with the bowl downwards, he brought in the bread and cheese, and beer, with many high encomiums upon their excellence, and bade his guests fall to, and make themselves at home. Nell and her grandfather ate sparingly, for both were occupied with their own reflections; the other gentlemen, for whose constitutions beer was too weak and tame a liquid, consoled themselves with spirits and tobacco.

PA Relief Center Holding a Quilt Show
By: Bejoy Joseph
Updated: January 25, 2013
It's part of the quilt show at the Cumberland Valley Relief Center in Chambersburg.
More than 100 quilts are on display, allowing people to appreciate the artistry of the unique pieces. The quilts will later be auctioned off at the PA Relief Sale in Harrisburg. Officials say the money raised will go towards the Mennonite Central Committee to help relief efforts around the world.
"We have several churches that support us," says Diane Brockman of Cumberland Valley Relief Center. "A lot of ladies who help support causes of Mennonite Central Committee come in here and quilt or do the work at home, and we really appreciate all the work they give us."
The Quilt Show will be going on until January 26th. The auction will be at Harrisburg's Farm Show Complex during the first week of April.
