Mesh Peplum Top is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SimpleBeauty from Cute I really liked this top because I thought it was different and funky enough to wear with jeans. I went down a size to get a snug fit, usually I wear a S in bebe tops so I got the XS and the fit was just right because the cotton spandex combo allowed enough stretch, so it's still comfy even a size down. I'm a size 32D on top and had no problems with the size. Oh and FYI, it doesn't come with the tank top underneath as pictured, so if you want a more conservative look you'll have to either buy or use your own. It's a cute top either way.

2013 Toyota Venza Preview: New York Auto Show
- Crossover's exterior gets a fresh look
- Update also includes more standard features
- New version fully revealed at New York Auto Show in April
Toyota will reveal an updated 2013 Venza at next month's New York International Auto Show. The automaker recently released a few details about the new version of its midsize crossover along with teaser photos of a revised headlight, which features a sharper design than today's model.
According to Toyota, the biggest changes to the Camry-based Venza will come on the outside. The updated Venza will get a new grille, revised fog lamps, redesigned 19-inch wheels and three new exterior colors. And those new headlights teased by Toyota will include available LED daytime running lights.
Toyota is also adding more standard equipment to all three of the 2013 Venza's trim levels. In the base-level Venza LE, blind spot mirrors will provide drivers with a wider field of vision, while "puddle lamps" will illuminate the ground when passengers are entering or exiting the vehicle. This model will also feature integrated turn signals on the mirrors. The Venza XLE will add a memory function for the driver's seat, a navigation system and Toyota's Entune multimedia infotainment system. The upscale Venza Limited gains an upgraded navigation system, JBL premium audio system and the new LED daytime running lights as standard equipment.
Originally released for 2009, the Venza received several trim and equipment changes for the 2012 model year to help spur sales. The 2013 Venza's facelift and new features are intended to keep things moving until a fully redesigned model debuts sometime in the next few years.
A 182-horsepower 2.7-liter 4-cylinder engine is standard on Venza LE and XLE models; a 268-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 is optional on those trim levels and standard on the upscale Venza Limited. It's likely that the 2013 Venza will receive a slight price bump over the current model's price, which starts around $28,000 including destination fees.
We'll be on hand when the 2013 Venza launches in New York to provide photos and more details about the revisions.
What it means to you: The Toyota Venza crossover will offer more bang for the buck by adding standard features for 2013.

FRISCO, Texas (Friday, Feb. 14) – Pending receipt of his visa and ITC, FC Dallas has acquired forward Andrés Ramiro Escobar on loan from Ukrainian power Dynamo Kiev, the club announced today. Per league policy, terms of the deal will not be disclosed.
"Escobar is a great young player," said FC Dallas Technical Director Fernando Clavijo. "He has played in Europe for the last few years and I expect him and Fabian Castillo to form one of the best flank combinations in the league. Both players are very similar in their speed and ability to beat players one-on-one. I expect Escobar will fill the void created by the loss of Jackson on the right flank."
NEWS: FC Dallas acquires Honduran international midfielder Hendry Thomas
A native of Colombia, the 22-year-old forward has been with Ligue 1 club Évian on loan from Dynamo Kiev where he signed in 2011 at age 20 from Deportivo Cali. Escobar returned to Deportivo Cali on loan from 2012 to 2013, appearing in 35 matches and scoring five goals. He appeared in four games for French club Évian in 2013.
"I've known Andres for a long time and had been following him since his early years at Deportivo Cali," said FC Dallas head coach Oscar Pareja. "He is a player we wanted to bring to the team a few years ago but it wasn't the right time. After the experience he has gained in Europe and his growth as a player, we feel that now is the right moment to bring him to FC Dallas."
Full Name: Andrés Ramiro Escobar
Position: Forward/Midfielder
Height: 5'6"
Date of Birth: May 14, 1991
Birthplace: Puerto Tejada, Colombia
Nationality: Colombian

- Hyun-Jin Ryu was excellent in five innings, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out five. He left the game after injuring his toe. It, thankfully, does not sound serious.
- Yasiel Puig had himself a 3-hit night (double, two singles) and drove in two as well. Puig was also bitten by the injury bug as his back is sore.
- Dee Gordon and Juan Uribe also chipped in with three hits and a run driven in apiece.
- Adrian Gonzalez stole a base.
- Alex Guerrero had his first official plate appearance and struck out. He's almost certainly about to be sent down for some minor league seasoning.
- The bullpen ran into some trouble in the ninth with a big lead. Jose Dominguez fared the worst -- two walks and a 2-run single -- while Kenley Jansen was taken deep by Mark Trumbo.

IBM, AT&T Offer Secure Passage to the Cloud
Oct 10, 2012 3:40 PM PT
After years of chipping away at the cloud computing market, IBM on Wednesday announced that it has teamed up with AT&T to offer secure cloud computing as a service.
The two companies will combine IBM's SmartCloud Enterprise+ with AT&T's virtual private networking service to Fortune 1,000 companies worldwide.
The service will be offered early next year.
How the Service Will Work
The combined offering secures data in motion, integrating the security features of both IBM's cloud computing resources and AT&T's VPN service. This will let users move data or applications between their own data centers or private clouds, and the service.
"This is going to provide clients with an extra level of security because the data leaves their own data center at the company and travels on a protected network tunnel to be processed, and then goes back to them through the tunnel," IBM spokesperson Colleen Haikes told The E-Commerce Times.
Corporate data usually travels over VPNs, but the difference is that the AT&T network "is connected at the code level to the IBM cloud and data is protected the whole way through," Haikes said. "The two companies have worked really closely together over the past 10 years."
AT&T will dynamically allocate networking resources to computing resources. This will let both scale up or down in tandem rapidly to support changes in demand.
The service will be customized to fit customer demand. It will offer service level agreements aligned to business and usage requirements. It will have more than 70 automated built-in security functions, and will extend security to both wired and wireless devices that have been authenticated to the user's VPN.
Implications of the Team-Up
The IBM-AT&T joint offering "fundamentally reinforces the notion that cloud providers recognize that they can't treat security as a 'nice-to-have' but, rather, need to deliver it as a service, the same as how core computing services are delivered," Urvish Vashi, vice president of marketing at Alert Logic, told The E-Commerce Times.
"The idea of looking at the full array of security services and providing credible security solutions across the board is table stakes for targeting F1000 customers to move to the cloud," Vashi continued.
However, the team-up "won't materially change the playing field [because] most F1000 companies are taking cloud services from companies other than AT&T and IBM," Simon Aspinall, chief of vertical markets, strategy and marketing for Virtustream, told The E-Commerce Times. "Other suppliers have differentiated cloud offers that are gaining good market traction using AT&T and other communication services."
Don't Quit
It's likely that IBM's teaming up with AT&T is a bid to boost both companies' attempts to gain traction in the cloud computing market.
Big Blue has a worldwide network of at least 13 cloud computing centers. Back in 2007, the company introduced what it called "ready-to-use cloud computing" with its "Blue Cloud" initiative. In 2008, it offered its independent software vendors and partners "Bluehouse," a Software as a Service version of Lotus Connections.
Last year, IBM teamed up with SugarCRM to play in the social business arena, which Big Blue predicted would grow into a $100 billion market.
"AT&T and IBM have both been making efforts in cloud services, but haven't yet established a strong marketing position," Virtustream's Aspinall commented. "This AT&T/IBM offer mainly addresses basic virtualization and backup services related to IBM server offers."
Other Cloud Security Developments
Concerns about security in the cloud are driving developments in that arena.
On Monday, the Cloud Security Alliance published implementation guidance documents for security as a service.
On Tuesday, Microsoft released a free cloud security readiness tool.
"Security-related issues topped our list of consumer concerns about cloud maturity" in a recent CSA survey, Jim Reavis, the alliance's executive director, told The E-Commerce Times. "We have also seen an over 100 percent increase in downloads of our security assessment tools in the last three months. Providers are ramping up security directly due to consumer requests."

Thread: Camp hope
#1 Camp hope05-25-2010, 07:15 PM
Established in 2007, Camp Hope is located 70 miles south of St. Louis in the plush land of Farmington, MO. One hundred and seventy acres of beautiful rolling hills and hardwood ridges are available to our veterans for their year round enjoyment, recovery, and well being. Camp Hope is located in an area that has a lot to offer American veterans. State and National Parks surround the area with numerous activities such as fishing, canoeing, hiking and golf. Chris Neal Farm is a partner of Camp Hope and is dedicated to offering some of the best hunting in Missouri. It is our hope that these fine Americans will experience lasting memories and perhaps lasting relationships at Camp Hope.
Today there are over 2.3 million disabled veterans in the U.S. All of these veterans had dreams about the future, but many of these dreams were lost due to injuries suffered in the line of duty. Camp Hope has been established to thank these great men and women and show them that there is indeed still hope for their dreams. William Mike Whites family has a vision born of sorrow that is now becoming a reality which will be able to reach out and help the heroes of our Nation.Stand up for what is right, even if you have to stand alone.
That is excellent."The efforts of the government alone will never be enough. In the end the people must choose and the people must help themselves" ~ JFK; from his famous inauguration speech (What Democrats sounded like before today's neo-Liberals hijacked that party)

Congratulations From Colleagues
"The appointment of Michael Scales as president to Nyack College is wonderful news for the institution. I have known Mike for many years and believe his leadership will enhance the reach of Nyack College and build a solid foundation for the future at a time when a combination of truth with relevance is paramount in educating this generation."
Ravi Zacharias
Dr. Michael Scales:CONGRATULATIONS!!! on your election to the presidency of Nyack College and ATS. What wisdom the board has shown in appointing you to this important office in what is one of the most exciting colleges and seminaries in the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU). Having worked for many of these institutions as a president and board evaluator, including Nyack, I am aware of the high level of success the institution is having in the wide-ranging reaches it is making on its home campus, on the Manhattan campus, and in its other settings to be an inclusive community of learners, both faculty and students.
Your excellent work, Mike, for Nyack and many other Christian colleges and universities over many years, well qualifies you for the presidency, serving the cause of Christ in higher education. Under your skillful and servant leadership, Nyack will continue to advance the ministry of its sponsoring Christian and Missionary Alliance, and it will serve many from other faith traditions, as it has done for many decades. You, Mike, are the one to take this historic service to the next level of spiritual vitality, diversity, and professional collegiate educational excellence. You, of course, will stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you, thus permitting you to see so far what the needs are that Nyack and ATS should address today.
Mike, I recall with great pleasure the insights you have shared with me, especially in the president and board assessment consultations I have had the privilege of performing at a number of CCCU institutions. You are a clear thinker about the work of Christian higher education, and your competence and faith in God make you the person to serve in the Nyack presidency for the foreseeable future. You know the role the president must play today, both on and off campus, as well as with those in the larger society. I look forward to hearing good reports from your leadership from time to time
Blessings and Peace,
"My exposure to Dr. Scales was through his position as a consultant to Christian Colleges and Universities. In my thirty-five years experience in Corporate America, Mike is the only consultant I have ever recommended a corporation hire. Within thirty minutes of our initial meeting it was clear to me that not only were we like-minded in our approach to marketing and corporate communications, but we were of like spirit. His passion for exposing as many of God's young men and women to strong Biblical teaching and his keen insights to communicating with this constituency will serve Him and NYACK well in the years to come. I look forward to seeing what God has planned for NYACK as you come under Mike's leadership."
Michael Blackwell
"I have known Mike Scales for over 25 years and if there is one thing that you can say about him it is that he is committed to young people. Mike will be an advocate for the students at Nyack College in ways that they could never imagine. Mike's commitment to higher education has been his lifelong passion and anyone who knows him will attest to that.
"Congratulations Mike, but more importantly, congratulations Nyack College on a wonderful choice for your new President."
"You are so fortunate to have Mike. There is no one that I have more respect for than Mike Scales. Mike is a devoted follower of Jesus, a consummate professional in the academic world, and a leader who has prepared for leading a great institution like NYACK."
Dr. Kevin Jacobs
President, Christian Leadership Foundation &
President of the Banta Companies
"Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say that I heard the news, and to tell you how glad I am for you. You are the perfect man for the job!"
"Difficult times are at hand and ahead for private Christian higher education, and visionary leadership coupled with profound faith is what we need. I believe Mike's extensive experience in higher education, proven leadership gifts, and rapport with people is what we need to meet the challenges of a new century.
I've known Mike for almost 25 years - perish the thought! I assured him that Nyack got it right with his selection as president, and that he will have my full support and prayers."
J. P. Mellis
"I was excited to see that Mike has been named as the next president of Nyack College. Mike has worked with our organization and I have been impressed with his knowledge of higher education, his commitment to service, and his integrity as an individual. I am most pleased that he has accepted this call to service and I wish him and the college every success as you work together to achieve the mission of Nyack College."
Larry Nikkel
President, Tabor College
"I have been blessed to work with Dr. Scales for 12 years and I can say my greatest reward in higher education has been to learn from his teaching and example. The only thing greater than the knowledge he imparts on a professional basis is the personal integrity and life lessons taught through his spiritual insight and direction. Mike is a servant. He is led by Christ. At the core of every decision is the desire to do God's will. He is unwavering. Mike has a personal, real and rare relationship with our Savior and is unafraid to follow that relationship as it directs his life. He is driven to succeed. When victory comes, and it always comes, he shares the credit with others and the glory with God. Mike epitomizes visionary leadership. He inspires excellence. Nyack College is fortunate to have a President who models the love Christ had for His Church. I can think of no better person to lead Nyack College to success than Dr. Mike Scales. I am proud and fortunate to call him my friend."
Kyle Wray
"I have known Mike Scales since the 1990's when he helped re-organize and re-vitalized our admissions program at the University of Sioux Falls. His wisdom and steady hand guided the University to significant growth in enrollment. Mike was a valuable member of the Presidential team then, and I am delighted that he gets to lead his own team now. Nyack will be blessed by his leadership and faith."
Thomas F. Johnson, Ph.D.
"I have had the great privilege of calling Mike Scales a friend for more than 20 years. I have seen firsthand how he leads with true humility and servanthood. I continue to be amazed at his wealth of knowledge in so many areas, especially issues within higher education. I expect great things to happen at Nyack through this humble, Christ-like servant."
Paul Berry
"Dear Mike:
"I just received the TERRIFIC news that you accepted the position as president of Nyack College. As an alum, I am SO pleased. May God bless you and your family in the coming busy days. I look forward to being with you at board meeting later this month."

"It has been an honor to work with Mike over the years and to become personal friends. He has had a profound impact on many Christian colleges because of his devotion to Christian higher education. He is knowledgeable, winsome and passionate about his ministry. It has been clear to me for a long time he was destined for such a role as the leadership of an outstanding college like Nyack. God's hand is on him and the Nyack community will benefit greatly because of this wise choice."
Greg Hall
"Mike, my congratulations on this much deserved appointment. This is a wonderful acknowledgment of your God-given gifts of leadership and spiritual depth. I am confident you will do a wonderful job in this new role. Your preparation has been thorough.
"You will be in our prayers, and we hope to continue our fellowship in the years ahead. If we can be of any help to you, please let me know. I look forward to visiting your campus someday. "
Mike E. O'Neal, President
Oklahoma Christian University
Oklahoma City, OK
"Serving Christian higher education with and for Dr. Mike Scales for has been a true pleasure. Ten years ago Mike invested in me-a young, just out of college admissions counselor-as a colleague and a friend. Ten years later I have a closer relationship with Christ because of Mike. There is not a day that goes by in my professional or personal life that I don't think about or apply some wisdom past down by Mike. His example of service to God's kingdom through his life's vocation of Christian higher education inspires me in my daily work. Mike is kind, wise, and competitive. His drive to succeed has always been for the benefit of others and for the glory of God. Mike is a kingdom servant. He is my hero. I anxiously await the tremendous blessings in store for Nyack College with Mike as its leader!"
"It has been an honor to work under Mike the past year and a half. I've never had a "boss" who has impacted me more in a professional or personal way. Mike teaches by example and I have learned a great deal from him. Mike inspires excellence to all those around him. The Lord has blessed him with many skills and talents that he uses for the Glory of God. It's a privilege for me to call him my friend."
Hollie Gorsh
"Dr. Scales is both my hero and mentor. It would be impossible for me to describe the impact he has had on my life both professionally and personally. I have never met anyone who is able to encourage with just his mere presence. Character, integrity, humility, and wisdom fill his mind and heart. I have often thought of how wonderful it would be to serve under a president such as Dr. Scales. NYACK has selected one I consider head and shoulders above the rest. "
Clint LaRue
Director of Financial Services
Oklahoma Christian University
"Mike's life call is to enroll as many students as possible to a Christian college. 14 of the past 16 years that I have known Mike, I worked beside him as a witness to him living out his call. He understands how Christian colleges change lives and Nyack is no exception. It has been said, "Leaders are dealers in hope" and that is definitely Mike. His leadership, wisdom, commitment to Christ, and experience are a fit to continue to move Nyack forward as a vital institution in the NY area and around the world. As a graduate of Nyack, I've always been biased for wanting him to be the president someday. God's timing is perfect and now is the time! To my mentor - Congratulations Mike! Nyack is blessed. And I am so blessed to call you friend."
Deanna Weyman - Class of 1989
"To a sister institution, I say congratulations on your appointment of Dr. Michael Scales. I've had the great experience of working with Dr. Scales here at Columbia International University as he served with us as a consultant in enrollment management. I know of no one in the country who has a greater heart for the advancement of Christian education and increasing the impact of Christian education on young lives. I believe this position with Nyack will be of great service to the Nyack community and also to the greater Christian college advancement. We trust God will give Mike many years of effective service with Nyack. I look forward to working with him in a sister institution relationship."
D. Keith Marion
"Dear Dr. Scales:
It is with pleasure and admiration that I convey congratulations to you your recent selection as President of Nyack College. I have long admired your social skills in dealing with all aspects of the academic world and, in particular, the fine reputation you have built in the recruitment process for the multiple organizations for which your skills have been utilized.
While some organizations may be reluctant to acknowledge it, "selling" your college or university is essential to bring in the desired student population and to service them through your staff, faculty, and facilities in a way that brings them pleasure and gratitude, while also producing a highly regarded graduate product. I am confident of that demonstrated skill and I am sure it will be a great asset to you in your leadership as President of Nyack College and ATS Seminary.
Simultaneously, that same sensitivity to "sales" becomes important to faculty as they regard every student as a valuable asset for which they have the privilege to influence, both academically and spiritually.
Finally, the success of the students academically, the excitement and proficiency of the academic staff, and the general success of the institution as a whole paves the way for a strong and embracing constituency that I believe is important in the provision of encouragement and financial support to the institution for its strength in the future.
Your leadership in these areas has been demonstrated. Your commitment to Christian higher education has permeated your career. You now are in a position to put all your work experience and passions together in your leadership as President of Nyack College and ATS Seminary. I know that your commitment to leadership in this position is motivated by a conviction that compels you to the challenges ahead. I pray that God will continue to give you wisdom, and that even though storms and difficulties may arise, the conviction that has led you to accept this position will never waver or be doubted as you continue to rely on His guidance, wisdom, and support to meet the challenges ahead.
I wish you God's blessing and again congratulate you for your selection, as well as your commitment, to this critical leadership position."
Peter Dys, President
"I have worked with Mike for over a decade and admire his passion for seeing that as many students enroll in a Christian colleges as possible. He is known as a praying man of God which shows in his success on the job and in
his family. You are fortunate to have the Scales family call Nyack 'home.'"
Doris Gukich
Vice-President of Advancement, Warner Southern College

It's the life he's dreamed of all these years. Traveling from city to city, going to bed at 4 in the morning, waking up at noon … and playing baseball every day.
Jake Cave hopes to be doing that for a living in the very near future, but for now he's loving life as a Peninsula Pilot. It could be another six weeks before anything happens with the New York Yankees, who last month drafted him in the sixth round. But the last three weeks have served as a glimpse.
"I'm using this to get prepared for minor-league life, because I know this is a lot like the minor leagues," Cave said. "At the same time, I'm looking to win a championship, too. I'm getting along with my teammates and it's really competitive.
"I like it out here. I've always liked using wooden bats, so that's cool. And I'm seeing good pitching every day. I haven't seen a bad pitcher yet."
Cave, the Peninsula District and Daily Press Player of the Year at Kecoughtan, has had little trouble adjusting. Going into Friday night's game at Thomasville (N.C.), Cave was leading the Pilots in batting average (.400) and on-base percentage (.493).
Of the 18 games he's played, he had at least two hits seven times. Even on nights he wasn't supposed to play, Cave has produced. Wednesday night in the Outer Banks, he came on as a pinch hitter in the 13th inning and doubled down the left field line. Ryan Huck's single drove him home with the winning run.
"He's phenomenal," Pilots coach Hank Morgan said. "He has a more continuous motor than any player I've ever been around. The same qualities that are there in (former Pilots) Ryan Zimmerman and Deck McGuire are certainly there in Jake. He's a natural, a special talent."
At Hampton Christian and then Kecoughtan, things came pretty easy. As a senior, Cave batted .609 with 16 extra-base hits in 23 games. It got to the point where he was once intentionally walked with first and second already occupied.
Cave faced good pitching in the Peninsula District — Menchville's Deshorn Lake, Woodside's Brett Mays, Warwick's Brandon Vick and Denbigh's Aaron Myers are all Division I signees — but not on an every-day basis. Now, baseball is more of a challenge.
Cave, who signed with LSU last fall, is hitting the ball, but he's struck out 16 times in 72 plate appearances. So while he's hitting .545 when putting the ball in play, 44 percent of his outs are coming on strikeouts.
"I think about three-quarters of them are against lefties," said Cave, who bats from the left side. "I've never been great hitting off lefties. I'm getting jammed on pitches that are like 83 (miles per hour) from lefties, but a righty is throwing 90 and I'm turning on it. It's definitely a mental thing right now.
"I've always heard that the ones who make it are the ones who adjust to failure. Coming out here, I know I'm not going to get a hit every time. I'll strike out. That's what I'm getting used to."
After drafting Cave as an outfielder, the Yankees asked Morgan to limit him to no more than two innings a week on the mound. Going into Friday night, Cave had faced only two batters and worked one-third of an inning all season.
As for what comes next — the Yankees or LSU — Cave is on hold. He wants to sign with the Yankees, who took him 209th overall in the First-Year Player Draft, but that could take a while. Of New York's first seven selections, only shortstop Dante Bichette (51st overall) has signed.
Both sides have until Aug. 15 to get something done. Cave won't discuss how much money he's after, but as a rough estimate consider the Yankees signed last year's sixth-round pick to a reported $300,000 bonus.
"I still keep in contact with them," Cave said. "They like me playing out here against good-caliber competition with wood. I don't think they want to rush anything.
"We were down in Asheboro (June 22), and I hadn't heard from them in a while. Their area (scout) was there, and he came up and was like, 'Yeah, man, I was just in the area.' I think I got two hits that game against a pretty good lefty."
For now, Cave just wants to play ball. He comes out every day to a stadium he grew up in — his father, Bryan, coaches the Apprentice School. And being the most prominent local on the team, Cave is suddenly a crowd favorite.
"I hear cheers when I come up to bat," he said. "And I'm thinking, 'Wow, that's different.' Everybody hated the way I played in high school. I'm not looking for everybody to like me, but it's cool to go out there and have some fans."

We assured Bridget that some of the noisy behaviors are normal; they're part of the parrot psyche. We explained that her habit of giving treats or attention to Payton immediately after he began to scream or squawk, however, may actually be making the behavior worse. Payton views the treats as a form of reward, which encourages more of the same behavior.
To get to the heart of Bridget's problem, we asked several questions about Payton's environment. Particularly, we asked what kind of cage he was housed in, where his cage was located, and what was in the cage.
Understand YOUR Bird's Needs
Payton was being housed in a cage barely large enough for a cockatiel. He surely did not have enough room to climb, extend his wings, or move around without knocking into his toys, perches, or the cage wire, which was likely causing feather damage and subsequent feather plucking. Because of his lack of mobility, he wasn't getting nearly enough exercise or stimulation. It's no wonder he was an unhappy, irritable bird.
Bridget selected a more appropriate cage for Payton immediately. Since his habitat would be growing, we encouraged her to add some different perching surfaces and new toys, which would help make Payton's environment more challenging and stimulating. We also recommended more play time outside the cage, suggesting she set up a playstand in another, bird-safe room and take Payton there to play once a day.
Shelly's late-night hours were having a negative impact on Pika's sleep. Shelly often watched television until midnight in the same room Pika's cage was located. She covered the cage at night, kept the television volume low and the lights off, but the television produced just enough noise and light to keep her bird "on the watch" for many hours after Shelly thought she was asleep.
In native tropical locations, these birds experience near 12-hour day/night cycles and are accustomed to receiving 10-12 hours of sleep. In their indoor homes, they must have the same amount of sleep to maintain a healthy immune response against disease, to prevent stress-related behaviors like feather plucking or squawking, and to stay as energetic and good-natured as they should be.
Away From Distractions
Shelly's veterinarian suggested she place a cage cover over Pika's cage and move it into a room that is dark and quiet at night, away from the television, computer games, or other distractions. Since Shelly lived in a small apartment, she did not have a suitable room to move the cage into. It had to stay in the living room, which is where the television was located. She decided to buy a smaller, sleep-only cage for her bedroom, so Pika could be moved there at night.
In both situations, the source of the problems was remedied with changes in the cage size, location, and accessories. However, in the case of Payton, since the problem behaviors he displayed took time to develop, they also would take some time, and training, to turn around.

SITE SELECTION OF klia2
14 December 2011
The present site for klia2 was selected based on the recommendation in the National Airport Master Plan (NAMP) (2008) after a detailed and comprehensive study involving all stakeholders including Ministry of Transport, Department of Civil Aviation, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Home Affairs and all airlines. The original KLIA Master Plan was reviewed so as to take into account the latest development in the aviation industry such as growth of low fare airlines and their specific requirements, rationalisation of routes, liberalisation of air service agreements and aviation security requirements. Major issues such as location, soil condition, airside/landside connectivity and existing infrastructure were also taken into consideration in the study.
This NAMP has superseded the original KLIA Master Plan (1992).

Car Deals
Luxury SUV Deals: September 2013
The best luxury SUVs on the market are offered in September with a host of incentives. Our list of luxury SUV deals highlights just that, proving that many of today's top models are available with several lease deals, low-interest rates and even the occasional cash-back offer.
Acura MDX
The Acura MDX is a midsize luxury SUV with standard V6 power and 3-row seating. In September, shoppers can get a great deal on a new MDX whether they're looking to lease or finance. For those who would prefer to finance, Acura is offering 0.9 percent interest for up to 36 months on all 2013 MDX models. Drivers who would rather lease can also get a good deal, as Acura is offering the 2014 MDX for 36 months with payments from $459 per month after $2,499 down at lease signing. For those who want all-wheel drive, that figure jumps to $489 per month and $2,599 down at lease signing.
Audi Q7
Audi's Q7 luxury SUV offers three rows of seats and available diesel power. In September, it's the diesel that's the best deal thanks to a few cash-back and low-interest incentives from Audi. The best deal is a low-interest offer that boasts rates as low as 1.9 percent on all 2013 or 2014 Q7 TDI models -- a rare low-interest deal from Audi. But Audi is also offering cash-back incentives this month, ranging from $1,000 back on a 2013 or 2014 Q7 TDI to $1,500 back on all Q7 models for "Audi loyalty" customers who currently own an Audi.
Cadillac SRX
The 2013 Cadillac SRX is a midsize SUV with V6 power and seating for five. Shoppers interested in an SRX can take advantage of a strong low-interest finance offer in September. Through the end of the month, qualified shoppers can get an SRX with interest rates as low as 0 percent for up to 60 months -- a deal designed to clear dealer lots as 2014 models begin to arrive. For those who want something bigger, the same deal is available on the full-size Cadillac Escalade.
Lincoln MKX
Lincoln's midsize MKX SUV offers seating for five and standard V6 power. In September, it's offered with a few incentives to help move 2013 models from dealer inventory. Cash buyers, for instance, can take up to $1,000 cash back on any remaining 2013 MKX. For shoppers looking to finance, Lincoln is offering 0 percent interest for up to 60 months or 1.9 percent for 72 months.
Range Rover Evoque
The Range Rover Evoque is the smallest model on its upscale Range Rover line. Powered by a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, the Evoque offers two incentives in September: a lease deal and a low-interest offer. For qualified drivers looking to finance their Evoque, the low-interest deal may be the best choice. It includes 0.9 percent interest for up to 36 months on all 2013 Evoque models. For shoppers who would rather lease, Land Rover has another enticing offer available: Through the end of the month, drivers can get a 5-door Evoque from $419 per month for 36 months after $2,995 down at lease signing.

Volkswagen Touareg
The upscale Volkswagen Touareg shares its architecture with the sporty Porsche Cayenne SUV. In September, the 2013 Touareg is available with a special offer for drivers interested in financing. Through the end of the month, Volkswagen is offering 0 percent interest on all 2013 models to clear out inventory. That includes the 2013 Touareg, which is largely the same as the 2014 model. The only difference is the 2014 Touareg doesn't boast any low-interest financing offers.

What it means to you: Shoppers who want a good luxury SUV at a strong price can find just that thanks to our list of luxury SUV deals.

Peppermint chocolate crinkles
These are a family favorite, but I've never made them peppermint before. They're really good! Next time, I might smash up some candy canes and toss them into the powdered sugar before rolling the cookies in them. YUM. I also didn't have any bakers chocolate so I used cocoa powder and vegetable oil, which worked out well. These are a little crunchy outside, and soft and brownie-like inside.
Peppermint chocolate crinkles
3/4 c cocoa powder
2/3 c vegetable oil
2 c sugar
3 eggs
2 t vanilla
1 t peppermint extract
2 c rice flour mix
1/2 t xanthan gum
1/4 t salt
1 1/4 t baking powder
confectioners sugar, for rolling
Combine the cocoa powder and the oil, stirring until combined, then microwave for a few seconds until smooth and melty looking. Add the sugar, eggs, vanilla and peppermint and stir well. Combine the flour mix, xanthan gum, salt and baking powder in a small bowl, then stir into the chocolate mixture. Chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. When you're ready to bake them, preheat the oven to 350. Roll into small balls and coat with confectioners sugar, then line up on your linked baking sheet. Leave some space between, but these won't spread that much when they bake so don't worry. Bake 10-12 minutes, until they hold their shape when you poke them gently. Makes a whole bunch, a few dozen.

Hi! I absolutely love your site! I've tried a good number of recipes you've posted... and they've all been great! You do such an awesome job cooking GF, and I like that you don't use such odd-ball flours. Anyway, I was wondering if it would work to freeze some of the cookie dough of the chocolate crinkles. I only want to make half a batch now... do you think it would be okay to freeze some of it for later? Not sure how or if that would affect the quality of the cookies. Any thoughts? Thanks!!ReplyDelete
Thanks! And I haven't done it, but I'm pretty sure you could freeze the rest of the dough, especially since the dough does best when its refrigerated longer. I would roll it into balls and freeze it that way. Let me know how they turn out!!
Oh yum... I used to make something like this, but have been looking for a gf recipe for them for awhile. I just found your blog and am loving it. Thanks!ReplyDelete

Amarillo, TX – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today announced more details of the fourth element of the four-pronged attack that Priests for Life is launching this year against the abortion industry, as described in the press release a few days ago. http://bit.ly/wqSoLq.
"Prayer is the foundation of all we do," Fr. Frank explained. "This year, we are expanding our prayer campaign (www.PrayerCampaign.org) and asking every Church to provide its congregation with the tools they need to pray each day for an end to abortion. In particular, we have special prayers throughout the year corresponding to the Feasts and liturgical seasons that many Christians observe. The prayer cards are offered to Churches free of charge."
"Most immediately, this Saturday begins a Novena (a nine-day period of prayer) in preparation for the sad commemoration of Roe vs. Wade, which has resulted in more death and destruction than anything else. Prayer cards can still be ordered and the prayer downloaded at www.PrayerCampaign.org," Fr. Frank stated.
Another aspect of the Prayer Campaign is the Facebook cause "Pray to End Abortion," now at over 80,000 members. This cause can be accessed at www.ProLifePrayers.com. Priests for Life will also invite people to become "Prayer Partners for Life" and to do such things as bring special pro-life prayer intentions to their pastors and to promote prayer resources that will be generated throughout the year. Pastors can obtain prayer resources corresponding to each Sunday of the year at www.priestsforlife.org/liturgy.
These activities will be coordinated in such a way as to prepare for the 40th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade on January 22, 2013. "Between now and then, we will launch several initiatives that will grow through the course of the year and culminate in a special commemorative service on the 40th anniversary of Roe. Multiple pro-life ministries from many denominations will co-sponsor that service, which will take place in Washington, DC. Now is the time," Fr. Frank pointed out, "to intensify our prayer efforts as never before, that a weakened abortion industry may go out of existence altogether. That's our goal, and we will reach it."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Wozniacki, Stosur, Venus reach third round in Charleston
Charleston, SC – Former champions Caroline Wozniacki and Sam Stosur were a pair of easy second-round winners Wednesday at the Family Circle Cup tennis event, while Venus Williams advanced despite receiving a tougher test in her match.
The second-seeded Wozniacki, who only entered this tournament Saturday when a scheduled trip to Haiti with boyfriend Rory McIlroy was postponed, blew past Spaniard Silvia Soler-Espinosa 6-1, 6-1 in a mere 59 minutes, while the third- seeded former U.S. Open titlist Stosur whipped New Zealand's Marina Erakovic 6-1, 6-2 on the green clay at Daniel Island Tennis Center.
Wozniacki was the big winner here two years ago, while Stosur was the 2010 Charleston champ.
"I felt like I really served well and returned well today," Wozniacki said after pasting Soler-Espinosa. "I'm pleased with that."
Wozniacki's third-round opponent will be former top-10 German Andrea Petkovic.
The former world No. 1 Williams, who titled here in 2004, was pushed hard by Puerto Rican youngster Monica Puig in her second-round bout, however. The 19- year-old Puig took the seven-time Grand Slam winner to a third set before Williams ultimately prevailed by a 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 score in two hours and 21 minutes.
Another former champion was taken to the limit in her Wednesday match. Seventh-seeded Jelena Jankovic, who captured this event in 2007, outlasted French qualifier Carolina Garcia in a two hour, 38-minute marathon. The former world No. 1 Jankovic edged Garcia in a lengthy second-set tiebreaker en route to a 5-7, 7-6 (12-10), 6-3 verdict.
Last year's Family Circle runner-up, sixth-seeded Czech Lucie Safarova, also advanced with a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Croat Mirjana Lucic-Baroni. Safarova gave way to American great Serena Williams in last year's finale.
Meanwhile, American qualifier Mallory Burdette pulled off an upset by dismissing 15th-seeded 2009 champion Sabine Lisicki 3-6, 7-6 (7-5), 7-5. Burdette is rewarded with a match against the world No. 1 superstar and reigning Charleston champ Serena, a two-time titlist here.
In some other second-round action involving seeds, No. 10 Julia Goerges of Germany held off Belarusian Olga Govortsova 6-2, 0-6, 6-3 and Canadian qualifier Eugenie Bouchard upended No. 16 Brit Laura Robson 6-4, 3-6, 6-1. Bouchard will face Stosur on Day 4.
Promising American Madison Keys eased into the round of 16 with a 6-4, 6-3 handling of qualifier compatriot Grace Min, while the aforementioned Petkovic topped American qualifier Vania King 7-5, 6-4. Keys will battle another fellow American, wild card Bethanie Mattek-Sands, on Thursday.
The winner of this $795,000 tournament will earn $125,000.

Editor's Desktop
Museum informatics, one major topic of our recent biological informatics coverage (Bulletin, 30 (1-2)), reappears as the focus of this issue with special emphasis on art and cultural heritage collections. Layna White of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is our guest editor and has put together an issue that makes me value my perk of having a sneak preview of the coming attractions. The articles discuss both the evolving job requirements for museum informatics professionals and the challenges facing museums in making decisions about allocating funding to digital resources and in implementing usable and useful information systems for public and staff. All of us, whether we work in museums or not, have a stake in these issues, and I hope you'll find them exciting reading,
This issue also has a "first" for us, at least while I have been editor. At the last meeting of the Advisory Board of the Bulletin, we decided to include a student member in our numbers on a standing basis. After consulting Sam Hastings, ASIS&T president, Heting Chu, the Chapter Assembly Representative, and Dick Hill (who is also publisher of the Bulletin as well as executive director of the Society), I decided to make selection of the student member a reward for winning Student Chapter-of-the-Year. I would leave the selection mechanism in the Chapter's hands.
Therefore, our first official student member, Lisa Nathan, comes from the University of Washington, where she is a doctoral student. Lisa has written a column that raises issues regarding information science students and our image of who they are that all of us will wish to consider in planning the expansion of the society.
On the IA side, Andrew Dillon reviews the state of this area as reflected in the 2004 IA Summit. Information architecture is certainly also a sub-theme of the special section, dealing as it does with such topics as the evolution of the role of Web masters in the museum environment. I also expect to include some coverage based on the Summit in the next issue of the Bulletin.
And finally, Sam Hastings says that she has forgone Spring Training this year to visit as many ASIS&T chapters as possible, a truly noble sacrifice. She reports the results of her travels in her President's Page.

Debates and Hotseating in the History Classroom
Posted 18 November 2003 - 04:28 PM
The most straightforward hot-seating activity has the teacher doing the acting. Answering questions as if at a press conference, King John could defend his actions against a vicious panel of questioners; Henry VIII could justify his changes to the church; Chamberlain could defend appeasement. Dont worry about your thespian skills - ham it up and theyll just lap it up!
Saying that, hot-seating is not the same as flying by the seat of your pants. To deliver a worthwhile performance, you need to know what questions to expect. Provide younger students with worksheets with pre-prepared questions to be volunteered during the interview. Better still, use the first half of the lesson prior to the interview as a means of getting pairs of students to come up with their own questions. Then lead a class brainstorm until a dozen or so different questions have been written up. Each student then votes for their three favourite questions on the board. These can then be placed in rank order the most popular to be answered first with the student who framed each question being given the job of posing it to the interviewee. Between the two lessons, you will then have enough time to do any necessary research to answer every question effectively.
Whilst interviewing a single character can be great fun, a whole extra dimension is added by making the interview a head to head between two characters with opposing opinions. One of my favourite Year 8 lessons involves presenting myself as Martin Luther and giving deliberately provocative but substantiated responses to a series of pre-prepared questions (Do you think that the Bible should be in Latin?, Are pilgrimages important?). Storming out at the end of the interview, I then return as Pope Leo X to answer exactly the same questions from the opposite viewpoint. In the follow-up lesson, students explain which point of view they found most convincing and consider what the speakers agreed about (issues of fact) despite their obvious differences (issues of opinion). Biased newspaper reports can then be produced in favour of their candidate (Luther wisely argued .but the Pope stupidly raged that ), complete with a suitably one-sided headline. More challenging still, get students to act as arbitrators, writing a verdict on the key issues which they hope will prove acceptable to both sides. This format can easily be adapted for any historical issue in which partisan viewpoints are the order of the day: the clash between Becket and Henry II, the Protestant-Catholic divide in Northern Ireland, the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East.
Pushing things further, the ideal scenario involves the teacher taking the back seat and the students getting into the hot seat. For example, a classroom witch trial could involve selecting five girls to play women accused of witchcraft and inviting them to choose their own defence lawyer. Whilst they proceed to sit down with each other, the rest of the class is divided into 5 prosecution teams. The first witch is then given an information slip outlining the case against her, and the first prosecution team is handed the same information. Different scenario slips are handed to the other four pairs of teams. The job of all ten teams is to come up with three questions for their witch, either designed to let her off the hook (in the case of the defence e.g. Is it not true that you only confessed because Matthew Hopkins kept you awake four days and nights?) or to damn her (Is it not true that directly after you cursed the farmer he dropped down dead?). Each defendant then stands in the dock answering questions from each side, with the rest of the class taking notes in a structured worksheet. At the end of the trial, each student is given three votes to cast against the witches they think are most guilty. The one receiving the most votes is then subjected to the dreaded water test by having a glass of holy water poured over their heads. If it appears to reject them by dribbling off, then they are guilty, whereas if it soaks into them they are innocent. From my experience, this lesson is an absolute hoot for everyone, even for the witch: just make sure the weather is isnt too cold and the glass isnt too full!
At this point, we are moving towards a full-blown debate, with the issues becoming more important than personalities. At GCSE, one of my favourite debates concerns the causes of World War Two. Students are put into small groups representing Italy, France, Britain, the USA, Germany and the USSR. Each pair of countries is then assigned to come up with one killer question for the other designed to establish its guilt. These are then written up on the board and each team is given ten minutes to prepare an answer. One representative from each country then has to take the stand and answer the question given to them using whatever evidence they have available. The rest of the class jots down notes throughout the trial and, at the end of the exercise, allocates blame between each country to a total of 100% and explains their reasoning in a homework structured answer.

Setting two students against each other works particularly well, especially with the more able groups. The thread on Historical Boxing matches (now developed into historical tag team wrestling) is very relevant here. http://www.schoolhis...p?showtopic=838
Hotseating improves the skills that other activities don't cover - and is an excellent way to bring another dimension into the classroom. It also allows you to have a 'Historical Stars in their Eyes' moment when students leave the room as themselves to return in role.

You're scared of mice and spiders, but oh-so-much greater is your fear that one day the two species will cross-breed to form an all-powerful race of mice-spiders, who will immobilize human beings in giant webs in order to steal cheese.

Zacks Bull and Bear of the Day Highlights: SodaStream International, Caterpillar, Suncor Energy, Atlas Energy and Northern Tier Energy
Feb 06, 2013, 09:30 ET
CHICAGO, Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Zacks Equity Research highlights SodaStream International (Nasdaq: SODA) as the Bull of the Day and Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) as the Bear of the Day. In addition, Zacks Equity Research provides analysis on Suncor Energy Inc. (NYSE: SU), Atlas Energy L.P (NYSE: ATLS) and Northern Tier Energy LP (NYSE: NTI).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101027/ZIRLOGO)
Full analysis of all these stocks is available at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2678.
Here is a synopsis of all five stocks:
Getting a commercial rejected from the Super Bowl telecast is turning out to be the best thing to happen to SodaStream International (Nasdaq: SODA) in quite some time.
The maker of home beverage carbonation systems had its first ever Super Bowl commercial rejected by CBS, supposedly due to the references made to two of the biggest sponsors of the Super Bowl, Coke and Pepsi. It ran a shorter, and tamer, commercial during the game instead.
But the original commercial, entitled "Game Changer" has been put up on YouTube and has already garnered 4.3 million views and counting. Not too shabby for a company with a $990 million market cap making its first advertising push into the U.S. market.
SodaStream, headquartered in Israel, makes home soda makers, flavored syrups, gas cylinders and bottles. It entered the U.S. market in 2009. The U.S. market now makes up about a third of the company's sales and turned profitable in 2012. It sells its beverage systems in 15,000 retailers across the United States and in thousands of retailers worldwide.
After 3 years of double digit earnings growth, including 93% growth in 2010, it looks like Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) is going to hit a wall in 2013 as earnings are expected to decline by 4.4%.
The bad news started with a 13% fourth quarter 2012 earnings miss even as the company reported record full year 2012 sales.
The world's largest construction and mining equipment maker also had the embarrassing episode of having to announce it was writing down $580 million for its purchase of Zhengzhou Siwei Mechanical & Electrical Manufacturing, which made roof-support equipment for underground coal mines, after it discovered discrepancies in the physical inventory after it closed on the deal in October 2012. It blamed "coordinated accounting misconduct" inside the Chinese company.
That acquisition had been the company's largest Asia investment since 2010.
Revenue fell to $16.08 billion from $17.24 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011 as China slowed and Europe remained mired in a recession. Inventory was lowered by $2 billion in the quarter.

Suncor Energy: Will It Miss?
Canada's biggest energy firm and the largest oil sands outfit, Suncor Energy Inc. (NYSE: SU) is scheduled to report its fourth-quarter and full-year 2012 results after the market closes on Tuesday, Feb 5, 2013.
In the third quarter, the company delivered a positive 13.33% earnings surprise, aided by volume growth at Oil Sands along with better refinery margins and start-up of operations in Libya . This represented the fourth straight quarter of positive earnings surprise. Let's see how things are shaping up prior to this announcement.
Factors to Consider This Quarter
The operating scenario for oil sands developers will remain critical in the near to medium term. Suncor is also susceptible to oil and gas prices, which are inherently volatile and subject to complex market forces.
Suncor's deep oil sands technology, though proven, is still vulnerable to potential implementation delays. In particular, there are risks related to growth and other capital projects that depend wholly or partly on new technologies. A high debt level and significant capital expenditure may also have adverse affects on the company's earnings and cash flows.
In fact, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fourth quarter has moved down by 2 cents to 80 cents per unit over the last 30 days as the tendency for a downward revision was more obvious.
Earnings Whispers
Our proven model does not conclusively show that Suncor Energy is likely to beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the fourth quarter. That is because a stock needs to have both a positive earnings Expected Surprise Prediction or ESP (Read: Zacks Earnings ESP: A Better Method) and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or at least Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) for this to happen. But this is not the case here as elaborated below.
Negative Zacks ESP:The Most Accurate estimate stands at 78 cents while the Zacks Consensus Estimate is higher at 80 cents. This results in a difference of -2.50%.
Zacks Rank #3 (Hold): Suncor's Zacks Rank #3, however, increases the predictive power of ESP. That said, we also need to have a positive ESP to be confident of an earnings surprise call.
Other Stocks to Consider
Here are some other companies you may want to consider on the basis of our model, which shows that they have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter:
Atlas Energy L.P (NYSE: ATLS), earnings ESP of +260.00% and Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
Northern Tier Energy LP (NYSE: NTI), earnings ESP of +7.97% and Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Many professors make their old exams available for students to review. Exams dating from 1992 and before are bound in volumes available in the 10th floor reading room in the Library. Exams after 1992 were scanned into the online eLOISe system, which is temporarily unavailable due to the recent network conversion. While the eLOISe system is unavailable, copies of post-1992 exams are available at the Document Center on the 9th floor.

We recently had a tipster who offered up a hands-on report of the LG Nexus and provided a picture taken with the device. We were asked not to upload the photo because it contained a Google employee. But today a whole gallery of images appeared online that were taken by an LG employee with a device code-named "Mako," which recent evidence confirms is the LG Nexus.
The new pictures are nothing to get excited over, but we should point out they came from pre-release hardware running pre-release software. They also seem to confirm our earlier reports that the LG Nexus will only feature an 8 megapixel rear camera. The Korean version of the LG Optimus G features a 13 megapixel camera, but they already announced that certain regions would be getting an 8 megapixel sensor instead.
I saved a handful of the pictures and embedded them below, but head over to the source link for the full gallery. After you browse through them, let us know what you think of the picture quality. How important is picture quality for the next Android phone you purchase?

Tuesday's Tip – Send in your Reviews
Sort Your Story received two user reviews recently.
Thank you, Lorel. I got to where it would have taken until 4 p.m. to get me on board so I thought it better to wait for the Windows workshop. It was very helpful when you explained that sys is an adjunct instead of a competitor of Family Tree Maker. That is something I have been trying to figure out. As I said yesterday, you were amazingly patient with all of us. I didn't realize it is not just MAC and Windows computers that are different, but apparently different brands too. Enough to drive anyone crazy! You will do well at the Roots Tech Conference! Susan
Thanks so much Lorel, for the very informative workshop at the Son's of Norway hall last Saturday. When you schedule the other classes could we have them at a time other than the 2nd and 3rd Saturdays of the month so they do not conflict with the NCMUG SIG meetings, please?
It would be nice if the SIGs were run the way your class was, with people using laptops, and tablets, and actually accomplishing something right at the meeting.
Hope Salt Lake city is rewarding. Kathleen

One response to "Tuesday's Tip – Send in your Reviews"
Shirley C. Flick says :
My comment is a bit delayed in coming to you. I'm still trying to catch up after being out of circulation for over a year and limited for 3 years before that but I'm slowly getting back in the groove.
I very much appreciate the time you spent at my house and also at the workshop and hope I can get into this enough to go with what I have for now because of your patience.
As I said before you have a wonderful idea and I can't help thinking that you will end up being extremely suggesvul with it. I just have to get to the point where I can just concentrate on your idea and really run with it.
Thank you, you are a dear.
