While promoting her craptastically crappy new show Cougar Town, Courteney Cox was on with Jimmy Kimmel last night and said a bunch of crappy crap about older women.
First Kimmel said he wasn't sure if "cougar" was a compliment or an insult. And Courteney agreed. But… Your show is called Cougar Town! Next, she claimed that used to think that "cougars" were women who'd had a lot of plastic surgery, trying to look young, to go out with younger guys… But now she's changed her mind, because she is a cougar. Wait, why is she a cougar? Does this mean she did or didn't have plastic surgery? Or is she a cougar because she's 45 and David Arquette is 38? Right. Okay.
Next, she had some kind of talking point about women reaching their sexual peak in their early 40s. Kimmel questioned the veracity of that theory, and Courteney backed down. But she did say: "I think the whole cougar thing — I'm glad it's come around." Plus: "I think what happens is as women get older — they want to become more sexual, so they're trying so hard to stay young that… probably they're pretending." Yeah, that's it. Older women are just pretending to be sexual... kind of like Courteney is pretending Cougar Town was a good idea.

5 Reasons Why Courteney Cox's Cougar Town Looks Awful

By Quentin Fottrell
Store sales are up. The job market is improving. Oddly, analysts say, retailers aren't hiring.
Jobs growth slowed significantly in March, according to the latest data released by the Labor Department Friday. Jobs excluding agriculture grew by 120,000 last month — half the growth in February — the first time since November 2011 that job growth came in below 200,000. And, while store sales appear encouraging partly due to a warm winter and Easter falling two weeks earlier than last year, according to results released this week, jobs growth last month slowed significantly in that sector. The Gap and Target showed improvements, while CostCo and teen fashion outlet Buckle fared less well. Meanwhile, jobless claims data released Thursday showed numbers fell to the lowest level in nearly four years last week.
So why aren't retailers hiring?
Big box and department stores have been employing stricter control of inventories instead of new workers, economists say. They're also demanding higher productivity from existing workers. This shift "has long term implications for employment: fewer retail workers and less square footage," says Patrick O'Keefe, director of economic research at J.H. Cohn consultants in Roseland, N.J. They're also centralizing checkouts and introducing self-service machines, says independent retail consultant Jeff Green, which means a longer walk for shoppers in search of a till and less floor personnel.
Retail-sector job opportunities keep shrinking. In the five years prior to the recession (2003-2007), stores accounted for 13.6% of all private sector jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics; but during the jobs recovery – which began in earnest in March 2010 — the retail sector has only provided 9% of the total private sector gains. While auto and gasoline sales have shown some momentum in recent months, "recovery in the rest of the retail sector has been rather tepid," O'Keefe says.

Department stores also appear to be experiencing a choppy recovery. During February, retail trade lost 33,800 jobs in March after losing 7,400 jobs in February — on a seasonally adjusted basis or taking into account the holiday sales. Jobs plummeted by 32,300 at general merchandise stores and by 21,000 at department stores, after falling by 35,400 and 25,000 respectively in February. But sporting, book and music stores added 1,200 jobs last month after adding 12,400 jobs in February. Investment blogger Andy Nyquist says warm weather has encouraged people to bulk up on their outdoor equipment and sports goods. "It's one of the many benefits of an early spring," he says.
Still, with tentative signs of a jobs recovery underway, others say it's too soon to know if the retail sector will under-perform the overall jobs market throughout 2012. If department stores shed more jobs in the months ahead, it may reflect more seismic changes in how people shop, says Betsey Stevenson, assistant professor of business and public policy in The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. "For instance, I rarely shop in department stores anymore because I almost exclusively at discount retailers, Amazon, and boutiques."

Started up Alaska Airlines out of LAX. I like that it is 2 years because replacing aircraft is a real pain since it takes a long time and really eats your profits, but hopefully it will be long enough to build a good airline. Let's see how it goes, since it's summer and we have more time with no school!
I have a thought for another quick world, and that would be to pick a low cost carrier, only flying their aircraft types, and only having hubs at their real hubs. Destinations would be too much to worry about, so there's no need for that. Yay or nay?
And dibs on Airtran
Proud Member Since 2003
That'd be fine, make sure to make hubs unlimited!
Also, do you think we should extend the time period to 3 years instead of 2? I'm sure that aircraft maintainence wouldn't be too bad with just one more year, or possibly even two. I have well over 300 tokens so I can build the world if you would like. But I'd like the world to start after 8/14.
Hey raydon, are you at 30 tokens yet? And N776AU, do you feel settled enough to start up again? If so, what would you both like in a world? I'll make this one since I know that I have plenty of tokens to use up. I'm still kind of contemplating on who I should be, are defunct airlines allowed? I am probably looking at these specs:
2. $1,000,000 starting cash
3. Unlimited Hubs/Unlimited Foreign Hubs
4. What year should it start?
5. 2 737s of some variant... possibly the -300?
6. Full world (except Antarctica unless someone wants it)
7. Obviously only having hubs/focus cities where your airline does
I can tell that this world will be a really nice game!
I'm ready to go whenever you guys are.
Using only 737s would be a cool limitation.
I did too at first. I'd pick a really busy airport to start with, and try to use a plane that's the right size. I try to keep the ticket price around $400. If it's significantly less than that, the plane used is probably too big.
Proud Member Since 2003
Very good. Raydon, I guess it'd be better for you to stay out of Africa, since there are much busier cities in Europe and in the US. That way, the game will move a little faster and you can make more money and order more planes. Like N776AU, I try to keep my fares between $400-$500, and sometimes even as low as $375 at the very least. Typically, planes that are 70 seats or smaller are too small for most routes, and you can make more money using a larger plane like 100 to 150 seats. As far as selling planes goes, you can either have them scrapped (you only get money for the parts which is a nominal portion of the actual MSRP of the plane, but it is the fastest way to get rid of a frame and you get the money immediately), or you can try to sell it on the public market, where one of us buys the plane and you get the money once we purchase it (which will take a lot longer than scraping the plane, but it gives you the opportunity to make more money off the plane. Typically, in a small world like this, players do not buy used planes.) Looks like these will be the specs and I am going to build the world right now:
2. $1,000,000 starting cash
3. Unlimited Hubs/Unlimited Foreign Hubs
4. What year should it start?
5. 3 737-300s
6. North, Central, and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia
7. Obviously only having hubs/focus cities where your airline does
The world number is 1650 (named the Aviation Design 3 Year) and the password is aviation design. (case sensitive)
Joined as Airtran in ATL. Looks like I have MKE, MCO, and BWI to choose from after that.
Raydon. Since we're doing the Low Cost carrier theme, you could take Virgin America or Jet Blue. I realize we can only have 737s and not A320s, but SFO or JFK would make you great money to get going.
If it's still up for grabs I would say 2000 or so so the 737 NG is ready to be ordered. I can already see me ordering -800s and -900 for ATL and shifting the -300s to BWI and elsewhere.
Proud Member Since 2003
Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 08/21/2010 02:42AM by N776AU. (view changes)
I spec'ed it to start at 2003, that way there are 2 years to order 737-300s, and the -400s, -500s, and the -NGs are available. I will definitely be ordering several -500s, since I will probably be out of DAL and/or HOU at some point.
I'll have to see the fuel burn. I never thought about the -500. I figured -600s and -700s from MKE and a shift of my -300s to BWI when I can pull in -800s and -900s for ATL.
Proud Member Since 2003
I ordered a 737-600. It's going to function as my regional aircraft at ATL, and also take a place working some thin routes from MKE and BWI (and trues me, there will be plenty). It's seating isn't too much higher than the 717, and the fuel burn is better too.
Proud Member Since 2003
I've looked at the 737-600 too, but I've decided to be a purist to make the decision process easier for me and only order -300s, -500s, -700s, and a few -900s for a few heavy routes. I figure I will use those -900s for LAX-HNL because WN codeshared with ATA back in the day on that route. My -300s and -700s will be on routes out of hubs like LAX, LAS, PHX, MDW, DEN, and maybe OAK. The -500s will be on smaller routes out of OAK, DAL, HOU, and to smaller cities from LAX, PHX, LAS and MDW. The -900s will only be used on huge routes out of LAX, DEN, PHX, and LAS.
Personally, ops are going a little slow right now since LAS is a smaller starting city than LAX, and 737s take 2 days to build versus other smaller planes that I normally start with. My unflattering last place ranking shows it. I just opened up LAX today, so I am just going to stick with LAS and LAX for a couple of days, and then I'll open up somewhere else, probably PHX or DEN. I'm looking at having at least OAK, LAX, LAS, PHX, DEN, DAL, HOU, and MDW as hubs, and having 739 service to HNL from LAX, OAK, LAS, and PHX like the ATA and Southwest codeshare a few years ago. There is a 737-500 on order and it will be used either in LAX, or both LAX and LAS and the rest of the planes that I plan to order for now will be either 733s or 73Gs. What about you?
ATL is it's usual paradise. MKE is pretty bad. Those 73Gs from MKE can barely make any money even in the biggest of markets. I figure I'll cover the major airports with -600s and call it finished. BWI and MCO I'm not sure. -700s and -800s should suffice there, maybe -600s for small routes. I guess my -300s have to have a place somewhere else, since I plan to deploy all of my -900s from ATL.
Proud Member Since 2003
Sounds like MKE. A 737-600 is about the biggest airplane I can use with any practicality.
JFK is a good money maker. According to Wikipedia it was #12 on the busiest airports list last year.
Proud Member Since 2003
Either that or we all start at the same hub. We would just need enough money for new and different airplanes so we don't have crazy price wars to start off.
Proud Member Since 2003
Oops. Guess my link didn't work. Should have double checked that.

Small Business: SEO, Email Marketing, Websites and Socia Media – Oh My!!!
|Small business is no longer just local business…
In today's world, a social and web presence are not optional, they are a must and vital to the success of your business. I am here to say no matter how small your business is, a digital presence in the world is easier than you think.
First, you must have a plan of action. Create a marketing plan and social media plan for your business. Of course newly created businesses rarely have much wiggle room for paid marketing, but social media is thankfully free and if you use it wisely, you will quickly reap it's rewards.
Looking at your financial status, figure how much you can realistically spend on your web design. Often you can locate another small business/boutique style designer like myself to create a WSYWIG (What You See Is What You Get) site or site on another platform, such as Word Press of Joomla. Expect a website to cost you between $2000-$5000 as a low ballpark average.
First of all, you may be unsure of what exactly the acronym, SEO means. If you don't this may be your biggest roadblock – Search Engine Optimization. How you rank compared to the world? Compared to your competitors in your region or around the world. Mashable has a great article on ways to increase your SEO.
There are many ways to increase your SEO. Often SEO and website design go hand in hand. A big part of SEO is meta tags – these are keywords or main ideas that best describe your business or site. These help your rankings in search engines and help drive more business to your site. In addition, to correctly using meta tags, proper web platforms, social media, and blogs are also huge components of driving traffic to your site, and making your web-presence more prevalent.
Do you have a Facebook page, Twitter handle (@businessname) or LinkedIn accounts? All of these not only increase your SEO, but help you create an online community of customers and supporters. Here is a great article from the Social Media Examiner on small business successes with social media.
Now social media is great, it keeps our customers connected, up-to-date, involved with our business when properly managed, but what about email marketing and newsletters? Are these a thing of the past? Think again. Email marketing is still a useful and widely accepted marketing tool that businesses should still utilize. I wanted to hear what other experts thought where the best email marketing tools out there and this article beautifully sums them up.
What are your goals for your small business in 2012? Do you need a consultation? Should you outsource social media and other web related business? Sit down, grab a pen and paper and map out your goals, think about how those should look and then compose a plan to help you achieve those goals.
Have questions related to this blog or any other social media, web design, or graphic design questions?
Happy planning!

More Metro Detroit homeowners choose Martino Home Improvements for our craftsmanship, our individualized service options, and our commitment to 100% customer service and satisfaction.

Royal Oak's Source for Concrete Driveways, Walkways, and Patios
Whether your landscaping improvement needs include adding a patio, a fire pit, or a secret garden walkway, Martino Home Improvements will help bring your visualization to life. Our master craftsmen can create works of art that instantly increase your curb appeal and home value. We offer professional design assistance, ensure that proper permits are pulled, and do everything necessary to make the concrete construction project smooth, efficient, and stress-free.
Working with concrete, stone, and brick is an art form that takes years to master. We have the experience it takes to excavate and level the area, pour concrete, lay brick, place stone or customize exposed aggregate. A properly installed and maintained concrete driveway or patio can last for decades and outperform asphalt driveways by two to three times. As a result, a concrete driveway or patio needs to be repaired or replaced a lot less than other materials.
Martino Home Improvements offers a wide range of concrete services including:

play_arrow Concrete Patios & Decks
play_arrow Stamped Concrete
play_arrow Aggregate Concrete

Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee means we will come back every other year, at no additional charge, to inspect the work we've performed for you. If we see a problem, we fix it free of charge. How many contractors offer that? At Martino Home Improvements, we promise the best remodeling experience you will ever have!
Why choose concrete for your patio or driveway?
Concrete can be recycled. If you have a concrete driveway that needs replacement, it can actually be crushed and recycled. This material salvaged from your driveway can then be used as granular fill, as a base course for a new pavement, or as aggregate in newly made concrete.
Concrete is made from renewable resources. Unlike asphalt, which is made from non-renewable petroleum supplies, concrete uses natural rock and sand, and the most abundant mineral on earth: limestone.
Concrete lasts longer. A properly installed concrete driveway or patio can last up to 40+ years with occasional degreasing and optional sealing. Asphalt driveways, however, last up to half this time and requires resealing every 3-5 years. Not only does concrete require less maintenance, it's also more durable to work with than asphalt. Color, stenciling and stamping can add an element of rich interior design to the outdoors.
Customer Reviews
"We got a few estimates, and Dennis with Martino Home Improvement match another bid for our patio. We had to wait awhile through the summer, which I was glad it was after the hot weather. Dennis was very helpful and informative. It took only 2 days and all the workers were professional." Philip S.*
If your outdoor home improvement project includes a new walkway, driveway, patio, or other living area, call the experts at Martino Home Improvement! We're Royal Oak's most trusted choice for concrete, exposed aggregate, brick and stone installation and maintenance.

Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on Antares Pharma and Celldex Therapeutics
Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on Antares Pharma and Celldex Therapeutics
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Jan 24, 2013) - Lost revenues from expiring patents has played a major part in the Biotech Industry's success in recent years. A total of 676 takeovers of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies have occurred in the past three years, with an average premium of 38 percent, according to data collected by Bloomberg. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Biotech Industry and provides equity research on Antares Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ: ATRS) and Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLDX).
Access to the full company reports can be found at:
At the end of the third quarter five of the biggest drug makers in the U.S. held over $70 billion in cash, near cash and short-term investments. Major revenue losses from patent expirations have forced big pharmaceutical companies to look to biotech companies to help fill the void. Pfizer's Lipitor and Bristol-Myers' Plavix, which lost exclusivity in late 2011, had combined annuals revenues of $17 billion at their peaks.
"We're through many cost-cutting programs, restructurings and portfolio arrangements," said Henry Gosebruch, Managing Director, Mergers & Acquisitions J.P. Morgan. "When you put that together with record levels of cash available and improving, but still moderate R&D productivity, we think there will be more big pharma M&A activity in 2013."
Five Star Equities releases regular market updates on the Biotech Industry so investors can stay ahead of the crowd and make the best investment decisions to maximize their returns. Take a few minutes to register with us free at www.FiveStarEquities.com and get exclusive access to our numerous stock reports and industry newsletters.
Antares Pharma is a revenue-generating product focused specialty pharmaceutical company that has developed three proprietary platforms, two of which now include FDA approved products.

Celldex Therapeutics is the first antibody-based combination immunotherapy company. Celldex has a pipeline of drug candidates in development for the treatment of cancer and other difficult-to-treat diseases based on its antibody focused Precision Targeted Immunotherapy Platform.

The Changing Face of HIV/AIDS Activism
By Aaron Laxton
February 24, 2013
Ask anyone involved in HIV/AIDS activism about the current state of the movement and the answers might range anywhere from stagnated, stalled or quite possibly a bit more optimistic, citing the phrase "AIDS-free generation." The answer typically denotes the person's experience within the community and to some degree reflects their journey with HIV/AIDS. We have inched closer to longer life-expectancy while at the same time creating a diminished a sense of urgency and self-determination that as a community we once had, but now have lost.
An aging activist generation coupled with a naive generation that has been lulled into a pacified state translates into an antiretroviral drug-induced "zombie-fication" that only bastardizes the gallant efforts of HIV/AIDS activists who threw caution into the wind; a determination that would accept nothing other than change. Whether it was raiding the FDA, climbing over razor wire in the pre-dawn hours to demand change or simply stopping traffic with a human chain, linked hand-in-hand or even taking on the Catholic Church in its own territory; the word "no" was not part of the activist vernacular. Gradually the comfort of medicated lives replaced the torment of imminent death and unbearable suffering but that comfort came at a price ... progress.
Declining participation, a problem that has seemingly crippled every facet of the activist community; HIV/AIDS issues are no longer a political hot-button topic which could potentially hurt or hinder a politician's aspirations or career endeavors. It was, in my opinion, that potential which served to motivate politicians and the elite of society to mandate change. It was the Queer elite, who out of desperation tapped into their financial means and influence, establishing the very first activist organizations to provide services for those living with HIV/AIDS. It was a group of people that many times had no prior knowledge of how to develop an organization that when they looked into the faces of friends and lovers dying of AIDS, knew that it would soon be them. They knew that something had to be done and that no one else was going to do it.
I have been told, more than once, that the tactics and actions once employed by ACT UP no longer serve a purpose. This much is clear: the tactics and actions once employed will again serve as the catalyst for meaningful change but only if we as a community put the movement in front of ego. The movement must evolve with the political landscape while maintaining the integrity of our heritage.
HIV/AIDS activists such as those documented in How to Survive a Plague not only tapped into an emotional response but they constructed the blueprint for how to bring about change while staring adversity directly in the face. Adversity that came in the form of former New York Mayor Ed Koch (may he not rest in peace), United States President Ronald Reagan and his entire bigoted administration, just to name a few.
If we are to revive and reengage our base of activists then we must examine what have been our successes as well as our failures. As a community we must, I repeat, we must find a way to integrate long-term survivors with those who are newly diagnosed; no one should feel disenfranchised or left behind. Additionally we must look within our society and align ourselves with others who are facing similar challenges such as patients who are fighting for total coverage of their chronic illnesses that will not be addressed under the Affordable Care Act. We must unify a spirit of bipartisan deal-making with civil disobedience; there is a need for policy analysts and advocates just as there is for protests and actions. Together a multi-pronged approach will ultimately place more pressure on those who are in control and have the ability to address our demands.
While social media has revolutionized how as a community we communicate, it is a contrast from the early days of the movement where telephone chains served to rally people for actions. ACT UP set the standard for weekly meetings that were known for their chaos and heated debates. It was in the midst of this where master plans were developed. A group of people walked in as bankers, thespians and every occupation in between but they marched out as activists.
While there was a core group of activists, through word of mouth others would hear about the movement and they would want to get involved. People would come and people would go. Ultimately as activists would die, newcomers would fill the void. Over time as a generation of patients began to thin out and ultimately AIDS-related deaths began to decline so too did the memory of this horrible time in our culture, but the fight was not yet over.
My friend and longtime activist Eddie Hamilton has theorized many times that it will take a new generation suffering loss before they will find focus and determination to once again engage themselves in the HIV/AIDS movement. "As a longtime advocate, I have now come to the conclusion that some in the HIV community have a sense of entitlement which shouldn't be the case. For those folks, they will never become active until they start enduring cuts. This is dangerous but it is the truth. Like it or not."

My HIV Journey
Aaron Laxton
I am simply a guy who on June 6, 2011, received the news that over 33 million people have received: I am HIV positive. I decided in that split moment to record the journey that I was embarking on so that I might help others as they receive that news.
I am not a doctor and I do not endorse any agenda other than simply living a healthy life. I am an activist and advocate and simply want to make the world a better place. I hold a degree in sociology and psychology. I am a product of the Missouri Foster System and this is one of my main passions, second only to the work I do with HIV/AIDS outreach and prevention.
I embrace a sex-positive model. People are going to have sex; it is a natural part of who we are. However we need to make sure that it is safe. I can be found on weekends throughout St. Louis, Missouri, passing out condoms and safe-sex kits.
I am now an M.S.W. student at Saint Louis University's College of Public Health and Social Justice and the School of Social Work.
Whether in St. Louis, D.C. or around the nation, I always jump at the chance to help change not only policies to better serve those that need help but to also change the landscape of the society that we live in.

Fueling swirling rumors of an impending divorce, Jon Gosselin spent yesterday checking out some potential new digs in Manhattan, according to published reports.
It looks like divorce is imminent for the stars of "Jon and Kate Plus 8." TLC, the network home of America's latest favorite dysfunctional family, released a statement Thursday saying Jon and Kate Gosselin will announce a major decision on their reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" on Monday's episode.
Many have speculated that announcement will include news of a separation. Could a move to the Big Apple be in the cards for at least one member of the unhappy couple?
Jon was checking out a spot at Trump Place on the Upper West Side on Friday, according to Gawker.com. But it looks like the TV star won't be bogged down by alimony to his wife and eight kids if the divorce rumors are true. Jon was looking at a $3,200 one-bedroom place facing the river, reports The New York Daily News.
A source close to Jon told People.com that he has been trekking back and forth to New York a lot as of late, adding that the reality TV dad has been doing fine despite all the drama surrounding his marriage.
Both Jon and Kate have fended off rumors of infidelity in recent weeks. He's accused of cheating with a 23-year-old schoolteacher; she's charged with getting hot and heavy with her bodyguard. The couple denies the respective allegations against them.

Online controversy stirrer OpposingViews.com has found an uncomfortable contrast between the relative danger of terrorism and your toddler.
The new site reports that 11 Americans have been fatally shot by kids age 3-6 so far in 2013, compared to only four Americans killed domestically by terrorists (all linked to the Boston Marathon attack).
Among those killed by accidental shootings by children is Jaiden Pratt, the 4-year-old Houston boy who fatally shot himself in the stomach Feb. 24 with a pistol purportedly stolen by his father, Deshon Pratt, 20, who was sleeping nearby.
"One has to wonder if the NSA's PRISM program would have saved more lives had it been monitoring toddlers – or gun owners – rather than suspected terrorists," author Stacie Borrello writes.

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color, choosing your socks by their character makes no sense, and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable!

i love the scene where the plot of the story reveals how he made the book. when he is spitting and ticking all over the room writing out his ideas. i think Jim did the psycho scene like a geneous!!

Product Highlights
Size: 40.5mm
The Formatt Hitech 40.5mm -20 UV Filter is an underwater filter that is designed to absorb ultraviolet light and improve color accuracy at depths of 59'.0 to 65.6'.
Due to its density, water naturally attenuates radiation, including visible light. Lower-energy wavelengths of visible light that are apparent as red, orange, and yellow colors are attenuated more than higher-energy wavelengths of visible light that are apparent as blue, indigo, and violet colors. This further obscures the ability to see red to yellow hues, and can otherwise limit underwater life or objects to appearing only in shades of blue to violet.
Additionally, particles suspended underwater can reflect and scatter ambient sunlight. When this occurs, higher-energy wavelengths within sunlight such as ultraviolet light and visible light that are apparent as violet and blue colors are more easily reflected than lower-energy wavelengths of visible light that are apparent as yellow, orange, and red colors. Together, these particles, along with the ultraviolet, violet, and blue light they are reflecting can obscure details within a scene while further imparting an unwanted bluish cast.
The Formatt Hitech 40.5mm -20 UV Filter can help improve the results of underwater images at depths of 59'.0 to 65.6' by effectively absorbing ultraviolet light and reducing visible light that appears as blue and violet. Available red, orange, and yellow light is allowed into an underwater housing and camera, helping to improve color balance throughout the frame.
This filter is constructed from Schott B270 glass for increased optical clarity as well as color fidelity and features an aluminum-alloy filter ring for durability while remaining lightweight. When used, the Formatt Hitech 40.5mm -20 UV Filter's 0.1 density darkens the entire image by 0.3 stops. This reduction in exposure can be compensated for by adjusting the aperture setting of the lens it is placed on, or the shutter speed of the camera being used.

EPA has approved a new federal label for the application of a Regiment-Command tank mix on problem broadleaf weeds in rice, including smartweed, hemp sesbania, eclipta, flatsedge, and ducksalad.
Rice growers will also now be able to make an early postemergence application of Regiment herbicide plus Command to control emerged broadleaf weeds and grasses. The tank mix also provides residual grass control until flood, according to Valent U.S.A. Corp., the registrant for Regiment.
Greg Rich, Valent product development manager, said the tank mix is an effective program approach to weed control. He said growers can use a reduced rate of Regiment and Command early and follow it with a second Regiment application pre- or post-flood. The second application can be tank mixed with other registered herbicides, if necessary, to target specific weeds.
"We have seen good results with this tank mix combo on broadleaf and aquatic weeds, as well as barnyardgrass," Rich said.
This new tank mix joins a growing line of quality products and registrations from Valent U.S.A. Corporation. Other Valent solutions for southern growers include Bolero herbicide, Cobra herbicide, Orthene insecticide, Select herbicide, Resource herbicide and Valor herbicide.
Valent U.S.A. Corporation markets and sells herbicides, insecticides, bio-insecticides, insect growth regulators, nematicides, baits and plant growth regulators for the agricultural, horticultural, turf, ornamental and professional pest control markets.
For more information about Valent products for Southern row crops, Valent U.S.A. Corporation and its product line, call 800-682-5368 or visit the Valent Web site at www.valent.com.

The Democratic Leadership Council is holding its summer conference; the absence of any of the nine Democratic Presidential candidates is an indication of how far leftward the pendulum has swung in that party. DLC members warned against the danger of an electoral catastrophe like 1972 or 1984, as they have been doing–to no perceptible effect–for some time.
Indiana's Evan Bayh struck a typical note: "It is our belief that the Democratic Party has an important choice to make: Do we want to vent or do we want to govern? The administration is being run by the far right. The Democratic Party is in danger of being taken over by the far left." It is interesting to contemplate an allegedly "centrist" perspective from which the Bush Administration is "far right."
But the most powerful critique came from pollster Mark Penn, who noted that: "We're at a postwar historic low of Democratic Party membership." Penn said that the Democrats now trail Republicans among people who earn more than $20,000 annually–which would seem to be just about everyone–and that only 22% of white men now describe themselves as Democrats. "Among middle-class voters, " Penn said, "the Democratic Party is a shadow of its former self."
But the DLC and its allies appear to be having little or no impact on the Democratic race. The candidates have steadily moved to the left, not toward the center. And the primaries haven't even started yet.

SHANGHAI/LONDON (Reuters) - GlaxoSmithKline said on Monday it was investigating new allegations that its staff had used improper tactics to market Botox in China, but had so far found no evidence of bribery or corruption.
The move follows a claim that GSK staff allegedly handed doctors cash and other rewards for prescribing Botox treatment, which the British group sells in China under an agreement with patent-holder Allergan.
The latest allegations against GSK, which is already under investigation by Chinese police for unspecified "economic crimes", were first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
The newspaper said internal documents and email showed GSK's China sales staff were also apparently instructed to use their personal email addresses to discuss marketing strategies related to Botox.
A GSK spokesman in London said the company believed the new allegations over Botox came from the same source who previously made claims over corruption in China - claims which GSK said earlier it had investigated and found to be without foundation.
"Nevertheless, we are investigating these new claims. However, our inquiries to date have found no evidence of bribery or corruption in relation to our sales and marketing of therapeutic Botox in China," the spokesman said.
"GSK has some of the toughest compliance procedures in the sector. We are proud of our high standards and operate in accordance with them."
The Wall Street Journal said emails and documents it had seen also discussed a marketing strategy for Botox that targeted 48 doctors and planned to reward them with either a percentage of the cash value of the prescription, or educational credits, based on the number of prescriptions the doctors made.
The strategy was called "Vasily", after the Russian World War II sniper Vasily Zaytsev.
"We have investigated the specific claim on the so-called Vasily program. Our investigation has found that while the proposal didn't contain anything untoward, the program was never implemented," the company spokesman said.
GSK is responsible for therapeutic sales of Botox in China - for example, to treat facial spasms - rather than its use as a cosmetic treatment to remove wrinkles.
The allegations come as police in the south-central Chinese city of Changsha investigate high-level Chinese staff at GSK on suspicion of economic crimes. It is not clear if the Changsha investigation is related to any of the allegations.
GSK, Merck and other foreign and domestic drugmakers are also being investigated by China's top economic planning agency on cost and pricing issues, as foreign firms come under pressure from Beijing over possible price-fixing.
China is an increasingly important market for international pharmaceutical companies, which are relying on growth in emerging markets to offset slower sales in Western markets where many former blockbuster drugs have lost patent protection.
IMS Health, which tracks pharmaceutical industry trends, expects China to overtake Japan as the world's second-biggest drugs market behind the United States by 2016.

31243, Hymns, Should You Feel Inclined to Censure, no. 235
1. Should you feel inclined to censure
Faults you may in others view,
Ask your own heart, ere you venture,
If you have not failings, too.
Let not friendly vows be broken;
Rather strive a friend to gain.
Many words in anger spoken
Find their passage home again.
2. Do not, then, in idle pleasure
Trifle with a brother's fame;
Guard it as a valued treasure,
Sacred as your own good name.
Do not form opinions blindly;
Hastiness to trouble tends;
Those of whom we thought unkindly
Oft become our warmest friends.
Text: Anon., ca. 1863
Music: Philip Paul Bliss, 1838-1876

Womens Womens Copper Serene Cordani Cordani
It's probably fair to say that on the whole, the volatile keyword in Java is poorly documented, poorly understood, and rarely used. To make matters worse, its formal definition actually changed as of Java 5. On this and the following pages, we will cut through this mess and look at what the Java volatile keyword does and when it is used. We will also compare it to other mechanisms available in Java which perform similar functions but under subtly different other circumstances.
Essentially, volatile is used to indicate that a variable's value will be modified by different threads.
Declaring a volatile Java variable means:
We say "acts as though" in the second point, because to the programmer at least (and probably in most JVM implementations) there is no actual lock object involved. Here is how synchronized and Copper Serene Womens Cordani Womens Cordani volatile compare:
|Type of variable
|Object or primitive
|Null allowed?
|Can block?
|Womens Womens Cordani Cordani Serene Copper No
|All cached variables synchronized on access?
|From Java 5 onwards
|When synchronization happens
|When you explicitly enter/exit a synchronized block
|Whenever a volatile variable is accessed.
|Can be used to combined several operations into an atomic operation?
|Pre-Java 5, no. Atomic get-set of volatiles possible in Java 5.
In other words, the main differences between synchronized and volatile are:
Attempting to synchronize on a null object will throw a NullPointerException.
We mentioned that in Java 5, the meaning of volatile has been tightened up. We'll come back to this issue in a moment. First, we'll look at a typical example of using volatile. Later, we'll look at topics such as:
