WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton stepped out of the shadows tonight at an award ceremony held to recognize leaders from around the world who worked to improve the plight of women and featuring such guests as Nicholas Kristof and Vice President Joe Biden.
The event, Vital Voices' Global Leadership Awards, was the former secretary of state's second public appearances since she left her post at the end of January.
Clinton founded the original Vital Voices Democracy Initiative as first lady in 1997 with then-Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and has attended 11 of 12 such award ceremonies - every year except 2012 when she was traveling.
She reflected on her time as first lady, fighting for women's rights with former Chief of Staff Melanne Verveer by her side against problems that are far from over. She said today a map of the world shows "too many countries where women still face violence and abuse, too many political systems that treat women like second class or even worse.
"But that's not all the map shows. It's not what Melanne and I see," Clinton said. "When we look at the map we do see progress, because we know people who are making that progress against the most extraordinary odds every day, everywhere. We see the opportunities that are there to be seized. We see, we hear those vital voices."
Though some have speculated the high-profile Democrat could go head-to-head with Biden in a future primary election, Clinton said she was "delighted" that the vice president could be at the ceremony this year.
"Vice President Biden and I have worked together on so many important issues," she said. "One that is particularly close to his heart is the fight against domestic violence, and I know what a personal victory it was for him to see the Violence Against Women Act reauthorized last month."
Biden presented an award to the event's only male honorees, three brothers who run an NGO standing up for victims of human trafficking in India.
Before introducing the Kant brothers - Ravi, Nishi and Rishi - Biden declared that the U.S. government has an obligation to stand up for equal rights for women around the globe.
"In the end we know this is more than just policies and legislation," the vice president said. "We have to change fundamental norms and we have to let women around the world know that they aren't standing alone, that they don't have to accept their circumstances, because we won't accept it either."
Biden denounced practices like forced child marriage and sexual violence that occur around the world, calling them "barbaric." In Egypt, he said, we have a responsibility to support efforts to stop mistreatment of women.
"In each of these cases we have an obligation to act not just because we have a moral obligation, which should be self-evident to every human being, but because it's in all of our interests," Biden said. "Because again to quote my little sister, 'Peace, justice and equality can never be achieved when we use only half the brain power in the world.'"
Though neither Biden nor Clinton dropped any hints about future ambitions, a group of about 30 people gathered outside the Kennedy Center to urge Clinton to run for president in 2016.
The supporters and former campaign volunteers held signs imprinted with "Ready for Hillary," and some homemade signs reading things like "Power to the Pantsuit 2016," and "Hell Yea Hillary." They waved and shouted "2016 Hillary" as cars honked pulling into the Clinton event at the Kennedy Center this evening.
"It's going to happen, it's going to happen," Ray Anderson of Arlington, Va., said, "I think she'll run - she's got to save the country, right?"
The rally was organized by Ready for Hillary, a super PAC that launched recently and declared itself set to go should Clinton decide to run in the 2016 presidential campaign. Word was put out on local college campuses, Facebook as well as the super Pac's new website.
Supporters said they came out tonight to give Clinton the "little extra push" as she is making her decision whether to run.
"I am 99 percent sure, but that's why we're here - to make it 100 percent," McKayla Masen of Massachusetts answered, when asked whether she thinks Clinton will throw her hat into the ring. "It lets her know that people are supporting her."
Supporters out tonight predicted that if Clinton runs, in their opinion, she will win the White House.
"She's unbeatable," Jazmin Gargoum of D.C. declared.
Allida Black, chair of Ready for Hillary, is a professor at George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs and a long-time Hillary supporter. She said she believes "very, very strongly" that if ("when," according to Black) Clinton jumps in the ring, it is her job to have a base of eager supporters ready and waiting.
"Hillary is such a leader. I mean it's in her DNA she can't get rid of it," Black said. "The issues of my lifetime are the issues that she has spent her lifetime addressing, and one of the things that those of us who formed this organization believe is that she has the stamina, the wisdom, the shrewdness, the toughness and the hugest heart that this job requires."
Clinton's next speaking engagement is just days away. On Friday she is scheduled to address the Daily Beast's Women in the World Summit in New York.

Hearing Loss is Hitting Children HardDecember 29th, 2015
Parents, now hear this: More American children are losing some or all of their hearing. But too few parents seem to be aware of any hearing hazards, according to a recent survey. By taking steps now, you can help keep your child's hearing well-tuned into adulthood.
Hearing hazards
Since 1988, the number of children with hearing loss has jumped more than 30%. Nearly 1 out of 5 adolescents ages 12 to 19 may have a hearing problem. Excessive noise—mainly from personal music players—is partly to blame. Listening to loud music with headphones can gradually affect hearing. Environmental noises, such as heavy traffic, can also be harmful.
In a recent survey of more than 700 parents, two-thirds of them didn't believe their child was at risk for any hearing problems. Of all the potential hearing harms, headphone use was the most recognized culprit. But many parents didn't know that using a lawn mower, playing in band at school, or talking on a cell phone could damage hearing, too.
Ear protection
The human ear is a delicate instrument. As sound travels into it, small hair cells transform the sound waves into electrical pulses for the brain. Repeated exposure to loud noise—especially over an extended period of time—can permanently damage these cells. The result: partial or complete hearing loss. A ringing or buzzing in the ears—known as tinnitus—is also common.
It can be hard to tell if your child has any hearing loss. Some possible signs include turning up the volume on the television too loud or not following directions. Your child's tendency to not pay attention or even ignore you may actually stem from a hearing problem.
If you think your child may have hearing loss, talk with your child's health care provider about a hearing test. In general, children receive such a test before entering school. But hearing loss can happen at any time.
To help protect your child's hearing, consider making these changes at home:
- Turn down the volume on televisions, radios, and personal music players. The sound should be set to the lowest level that you can hear clearly.
- When your child listens to music, discourage the use of ear buds that insert tightly into the ear canal. If possible, opt for noise-reducing headphones. They limit outside noise so you can keep the volume low.
- Make sure your teen wears ear plugs when doing loud outdoor chores, such as cutting the grass or using a leaf blower.
- Choose toys that either don't make a lot of noise or have a volume setting.
- Minimize noise from within and out. Decorate your home with soft furnishings—thick carpet, area rugs, cushions, or curtains—that muffle sound. To keep outdoor noise at a minimum, caulk any cracks or other openings near windows and doors.
Hearing hazards are all around us.
Obesity May Impair Your Child's Hearing
Obesity has been linked to many health woes. Perhaps surprisingly, you can add hearing loss to the list. A recent study of nearly 1,500 adolescents found those who were obese were twice as likely to have hearing problems.
What's the possible connection? Excess body fat may lower the production of a hormone called adiponectin. That, in turn, may damage organs in the body, including the ears.

Melissa Rycroft And Tye Strickland Had A Baby Girl! They Named Her Ava Grace!
Former 'Bachelor' Contestant Melissa Rycroft is a new mommy! How exciting!
Melissa Rycroft and her hubby Tye Strickland welcomed the birth of their baby girl on Feb. 16. Ava Grace Strickland weighed in at 6 lbs., 13 oz.
We love Melissa Rycroft's shimmering sequined baby bump!
"Our lives have changed so much in the last two years and today we've been blessed with the best change ever, our beautiful baby girl," the onetime Bachelor contestant and Dallas Cowboys cheerleader said in a statement shortly after giving birth in Dallas, Tex.
Melissa, 27, and Tye married in December, 2009 in Mexico. They dated on and off, but fell back in love after Bachelor Jason Mesnick broke things off with Melissa.
Melissa Rycroft tells us she doesn't want parenting advice from her ex, Jason Mesnick!
Ava is the couple's first child. Congrats to Melissa and Tye on their new arrival!

Across the country, the imminent closing of contract control towers was eliciting a variety of responses from region to region.
Texas announced that its Transportation Commission would hold an emergency meeting to provide authority for state funding of 13 control towers at regional airports—including one, San Marcos, that began operation as a contract control tower in 2011.
In South Carolina, Beaufort County officials expressed relief that the closing of the control tower at Hilton Head Island Airport, set for May 5, would not happen until after the Heritage Tournament, a professional golf tournament that is held there in mid-April.
Also, lawyers for Spokane, Wash.'s Felts Field have presented the FAA with an emergency request to delay the April 7 shutdown of the airport's contract control tower to provide time for a U.S. Court of Appeals review of the sequester-driven closure order.
Felts Field's control tower is one of 149 towers in the Contract Tower Program scheduled for shutdown, and is among 24 facilities scheduled to close in the first of three phases of closings through May 5. AOPA President Craig Fuller has warned FAA Administrator Michael Huerta that the "cuts will have unacceptable consequences for the nation and the flying community."
Spokane Airports, operator of Felts Field, argues that prior to closing control towers, the FAA must "act in the public interest and assign, maintain and enhance safety as the highest priorities in air commerce decisions such as the contract tower program." That means the FAA must conduct a safety management systems review to assure that closure does not violate the airport's SMS. The agency also must prepare an environmental impact statement on the proposed "major federal action," and must take other preparatory steps, the airport's lawyers said in a March 22 letter to Huerta.
Spokane Airports was previously rebuffed by the FAA when seeking exclusion from the planned tower shutdowns. In comments submitted to the FAA on March 13, Spokane contended that the shutdown was "contrary to law" absent the preliminary actions it says must be taken.
The FAA dismissed Spokane's arguments on March 22, when it notified the airport board of the April 7 shutdown date. Airports in the Spokane system are jointly owned by Spokane County and the city of Spokane.
Responding that day with a hand-delivered request for an emergency stay of tower closings, Washington D.C. law firm Spiegel & McDiarmid countered that the sequestration mandate to cut agency spending does not excuse failure to delay closings during a safety review.
"As a matter of public interest, the FAA must stay its decision and satisfy the foregoing obligations prior to making any final closure decision with respect to Felts Field and the other affected contract towers," wrote Pablo O. Nuesch, counsel to the Spokane Airport Board.
"We can't comment on pending litigation," an FAA spokesperson said in an email to AOPA in response to an inquiry about Spokane's request.
The FAA sent airports scheduled for tower shutdowns a guidance document on closure that gives airport operators "a choice" about the aftermath. "The airport operator may choose to operate as a non-towered airport. The airport operator may also choose to continue providing tower services as a non-Federal control tower. The decision made by the airport operator will most likely affect what happens with the existing tower structure and the equipment inside," it said.
"The FAA is prepared to discuss the continued use of buildings and equipment with airports for those who desire to continue providing tower services. The FAA will also discuss the availability of reimbursable agreements where the airport can reimburse the FAA to provide other services (e.g., maintenance, logistics support, etc.)," the document said.
The Texas Department of Transportation issued a news release March 27 to announce its actions to keep some control towers up and running.
"Safety is the primary reason we felt a need to take immediate action for the flying public and business aircraft that use these airports, "said Texas Transportation Commissioner Fred Underwood. "I am proud of our leaders for taking this extraordinary measure to ensure that those relying on these municipal airports will be able to depart and arrive safely and efficiently."
Airports that could be funded include New Braunfels Regional, Brownsville /South Padre Island International Airport, Easterwood Field, TSTC Waco, Lone Star Executive Airport in Houston, Georgetown Municipal Airport, San Marcos Municipal Airport, Dallas Executive Airport, Sugarland Regional Airport, Stinson Municipal Airport in San Antonio, Collin County Regional Airport, Tyler Pounds Regional Airport, and Victoria Regional Airport.
On Sept. 1, 2011, air traffic services contractor Robinson Aviation had welcomed closure-targeted San Marcos Municipal "into the RVA family of air traffic control towers."
Spokane Airports CEO Lawrence J. Krauter expressed disappointment that the FAA "inadequately considered" Felts Field's objections to the tower closing while implementing "a hastily convened process that contravenes the systematic way that decisions impacting air safety have been historically and consistently handled."
As a result, the airport's board authorized pursuing "all available remedies" to keep the Felts Field control tower operating, he said in a news release.
Spokane may be joined in its effort by Middle Georgia Regional Airport. The Macon-area airport requested a 30-day delay in the closing of its contract control tower while it studies alternatives to closing, including joining Spokane's legal challenge, said a local news report.
Cuyahoga County, Ohio, was also rebuffed by the FAA in an appeal to keep the county airport's control tower operating after a scheduled May 5 closing date, said a news report.

I like this book because it has a lot of interesting features. One of those interesting features is my favorite part. My favorite part is when Matt gives his present to Kira. I found Kira interesting because she has a gift. When she sews, her hands sew what will happen in the future. When I read this book, I felt very interested in the story. And as I read it, I think about what will happen in the story. My favorite character is Kira because she is such a good person with good character traits.
If you like books with a lot of feeling, then I would recommend this book to you. Kira, Matt, and Thomas are what make this book good. This book has a lot of tension and heart. I would recommend this book for ages 9-18.

Water Damage Restoration Companies in Sunset Valley – What Do You Need To Know about Water Clean Up ?
Water damage
Water damage describes a large number of possible losses caused by water intruding where it will enable attack of a material or system by destructive processes such as rotting of wood, growth, rusting of steel, de-laminating of materials such as plywood, and many others.
[rssonpage rss="http://www.bing.com/search?q=IICRC&;format=rss" feeds="1″ excerpt="summery true" target="_blank"]
[rssonpage rss="http://www.bing.com/search?q=Restoration+Industry+Association&;format=rss" feeds="1″ excerpt="summery true" target="_blank"]
Who are the Water Clean Up Sunset Valley water damage restoration professionals to turn to for flood clean up, removal, and repair?
There are only a few true fire and water restoration companies that Water Clean Up in Sunset Valley Texas that can provide the full line of flood clean up, fire rebuilding and mold remediation services. These companies have been in business in the Sunset Valley area for decades and have full time, trained technicians who are available to do emergency water damage restoration work 24/7. They have industrial strength equipment and professional gear that they use daily on just such water damage emergencies.
We have been keywords accredited with Home Advisor since the beginning, and are honored to have earned a BBB A+ Accreditation, with over 50 5-Star Reviews!
And then there are the other guys….
These competitors are divided into three types of restoration service providers:
Water Damage Internet marketing firms
Most of the restoration companies you will find on the web are marketing companies that later sell your cleanup and rebuilding job to subcontractors they never met. When there is a big demand for restoration clean up services in Sunset Valley, such as frozen and burst pipes, burst water heaters or rain and flood damage, these marketing companies call everyone who says that they can do water removal, clean up and repair to get your job. However, if they cannot find any subcontractors, your job will be abandoned.
Water Damage Restoration National Franchises
The other type of water removal and repair competitors are large corporate franchise restoration companies with very little connection to Sunset Valley. They do not have full line fire, water and restoration services in Sunset Valley and usually have staff that is new to the home restoration business. Very often, the true fire and water remediation companies are asked to complete repair jobs that were started by restoration franchisees.
Carpet Cleaning Companies
There are hundreds of carpet cleaning companies in Sunset Valley that claim to be water damage restoration companies. These so called remediation experts have no water removal experience, flood damage clean up training or dehumidification equipment to complete water and flood damage repair projects. They also have no education or much experience in the science of water extraction, drying and clean up. There is very little chance that your property would be completely restored through their services.
In fact, since these companies do not have any water removal, fire restoration or mold remediation experience or content restoration facilities to handle personal belongings or furniture, their so called services only delay your home's restoration work. Meanwhile, there is further structural damage to your dry walls, ceilings, carpets, and floors, possibly resulting in mold damage.
Hire A Perfect Contractor For Water Damage Restoration?
One of the significant investments in the life of a man is his home. You have spent a lot of time in getting it exactly the way you want it. Home is where you spent a major chunk of your day. It is your prized possession that you associate with memories with family. So when it involves hiring someone to work on a home, people take great care to hire the right people. Even making the decision on who should handle restoration is no exception to the rule.
A company should be able to provide information regarding the certificate of their technicians. Many companies offer certifications that are recognized. Some states require licensing regarding water damage restoration while others do not require. You have to check the individual requirements of your state. You have to ensure that the services of the company you hire are following guidelines.
Take caution while making payments to the contractor. Make sure that there is a clause in the contract that you will receive waivers or lien releases for all materials and labor, once the final payment is made.
Extensive repair work
In the case of extensive repair work, you do not have to make full payment in advance. Rather, the contractor may ask for periodic partial payment as the work progresses. Each state has its set of rules regarding the payments to be made to the contractors.
In case of discrepancy
If there is any difference regarding the cost of repairs, then contact the insurance company. Try to sort out the differences with the company representative. You should communicate with the Department of Insurance if the matter remains unsolved.

Beckham backs Utd, hopes Rooney stays
David Beckham has tipped Manchester United to win the Premier League next season, even though he believes manager David Moyes will face tough challenges in his first season in charge - and hopes Wayne Rooney stays at the club.
United midfield legend Beckham told Sky Sports he thought former Everton boss Moyes, who succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson in the summer, would be able to see off threats including the returning Jose Mourinho and Chelsea.
He said he was sure the manager - who saw his United career begin with defeat to Singha All Stars in Bangkok - "has had a lot of mentoring: he is one of those managers that has always picked up the phone and spoken to Sir Alex".
And he added: "It was always going to be difficult job for whoever succeeded Sir Alex because of what he has brought to Manchester United, what he has brought to the game. But the same players are there, and I'm sure a few more will be added over the next few weeks.
"It's going to be interesting this year, as there have been so many changes throughout the Premier League. Jose is back, and that's exciting - but I still think United will win the league."
Beckham hopes United's line-up will still include Rooney, despite the England international having been linked with a move from Old Trafford and told he will not be first choice to play as a striker.
"I hope Wayne stays, because he is such a talented player and I see him as a Manchester United player," he said.
"Obviously, that'll be his decision and his decision only. As a Man United fan, I want to see the best players at the club, and I hope he stays."
He said the moves of his ex-United colleagues Ryan Giggs and Phil Neville onto the Old Trafford coaching staff would boost the club.
"So many of the young players respect them and look up to them," he explained. "It's important to have that."

Campus pastor gives convocation message on prayer
Dwayne Carson, a campus pastor and the director of the Office of Student Leadership at Liberty University, spoke in Monday's convocation on the need for prayer. "I believe in the power of prayer because I believe in a living God who says casts your burdens on me," he said.
Carson used Colossians 1:9 to demonstrate five major focuses of prayer. First he encouraged students to ask the Lord to direct them and help them find a purpose for their lives. "Total dependence on God brings trustworthy direction from God," he said.
Next he cited Psalm 119:33, which says "Teach me, O Lord, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them to the end." He said asking the Lord to teach them His principles is a way to form core values and learn how to live.
During prayer, he said, students should also ask the Lord to use them so that they may be productive. "None of us are saved by works but we have been saved to work," he said. "Don't be afraid to ask God to use you."
Carson said students should ask God to show himself to them. Using Psalm 9:10, which says "those who know your name will trust in you, for you Lord have never forsaken those who seek you," he explained how the more a person knows who God is, the more they can have the strength to rely on Him.
Carson then made his final point: to pray for the Lord's help, saying this will allow students to grow in patience and longsuffering. He closed by encouraging students to not only pray through these areas for themselves, but also for friends and family.

Trump Trauma #2
First, a vulgar lying yam became president. Then, like so many others, I watched in horror as, day after day, this raging, narcissistic, truly unstable man-child and his wrecking crew did their destructive work. As I often do in times of stress, I took refuge in my studio in the hopes of finding some distraction and relief. It didn't work. And once it became clear to me that I was making a "Trump Edition" of some kind of " PTSD" imagery, I gave myself over to the creative task and began enjoying the process, even finding it psychologically helpful. Many of these forms are dark and despairing, some are lighter and more playful, but all are a response to the traumatic disorientation of what is happening in our country.

Hydrocodone Bitartrate and
Acetaminophen Tablets, USP 10 mg/500 mg (Watson
Laboratories): Recall –
Potential for Oversized and
Superpotent Tablets
AUDIENCE: Pharmacy
ISSUE: Watson Laboratories, Inc. notified the public of a voluntary nationwide recall for two lots of Hydrocodone Bitartrate and APAP Tablets, USP 10 mg/500 mg (Lot Numbers 519406A and 521759A, both with the expiry date April 2014, distributed between 6/27/2012 and 7/18/2012 to wholesale distributors and retail pharmacies nationwide).
A complaint was received for tablets that were thicker and darker shade than the other tablets. It is possible that some tablets from lots 519406A and 521759A exceed the weight specification and may contain higher than indicated amounts of the ingredients Hydrocodone Bitartrate and/or Acetaminophen.
Unintentional ingestion of excessive amounts of acetaminophen may potentially result in an adverse event, including liver toxicity, especially in patients on other acetaminophen containing medications, patients with liver dysfunction, or people who consume more than 3 alcoholic beverages a day. Acetaminophen overdose can potentially cause severe liver damage, at times resulting in liver transplant or death. Unintentional ingestion of excessive amounts of hydrocodone may result in an increase in the severity or frequency of side effects, such as sedation or respiratory depression, particularly in patients who are elderly, have severe kidney or liver impairment, or are also taking interacting medications, such as sedating medications or certain antidepressants.
BACKGROUND: Hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen 10 mg/500 mg tablets are indicated for the relief of moderate to moderately severe pain.
RECOMMENDATION: Pharmacists and wholesalers are asked to check their inventories for lots 519406A or 521759A segregate any material from the lots, and to contact GENCO Pharmaceutical Services at 1-800-950-5479 for instructions on product return.
Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:

Hello there once again. I have recently finished two maps in Halo: Reach for Multiplayer purpose that I would like an opinion on from people who are willing to download and test the maps. The two maps are as follows:
Telescrew: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileD ... d=26889538 . Telescrew is a modified variant of Reflection that can support many game types. Telescrew (The Reach variant I made) was inspired to be created when I seen the Machine Gun Turret in Forge Mode Glitch on Youtube, which gave me the idea to do with Reflection what I did with Guardian on Halo 3 (http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserC ... =123580794 ) . Simply put, there are teleporters that have been added throughout the level that are all on the 'Alpha' frequency. Sometimes, you will teleport from one point of the map to another, others... well... you teleport to your death either by teleporting onto a landmine in a normally inaccessible room, or you fall to your death by teleporting to an inncessable point through the wall and fall. Some people may think this is dumb, but it can be rather amusing if you are willing to take risks. You will end up cursing and laughing at the same time. I know my Halo 3 variant did this for a lot of my friends, and i hope the Reach variant will do the same.
Fortification: (Link Removed as File was deleted) . Fortification is a Classic Slayer/ Classic Team Slayer style map (You can do current style slayer, just don't use the jet pack if you want to make the game fun and fair). The map was made in Forge World and there are two bases. The covenant research facility is the blue team base and the human outlook tower is the red team base. In regular Slayer, no player will have access to the roof of either base, meaning that only normal weapons will be available, and the only power weapons available will be the shotgun and energy sword. In a team slayer match, you might be lucky enough to respawn on the roof of a base, where you can get a Rocket Launcher/ Plasma Cannon, Precision Weapon, or some other weapon of increased power depending on where you respawn. The maps are meant to be fair and balanced, which is why I recommended no use of the jetpack. If you need to create a rules variant where jetpack isn't available for Slayer, then do so.
You can download the maps by either logging to your Bungie.net account if you do have one and going to the link above and clicking to download to your X-Box when the page loads, or you can look up lizking10152011 while playing Halo: Reach and check out my file share to download the files. If you like the maps, click the like on the website, or whereever you would on the game. Let me know what you think here of the maps and give me ideas if any at all should you think of something. Just please do not recommend flying vehicles such as the falcon or banshee in Fortification. They will make the map broken, even if death barriers were added.

There's much more involved. It's an architectural wonder with popup leaves and windows and layers and so forth. No imagination is spared coming up with these "jewel boxes". I envision men in white coats fussing about with bits of cardboard in the lab creating these gems.
And you can choose the box design appropriate for the occasion. These little darlings from Marquise de Sevigne, are waiting, perhaps for the mother of a new born babe..? A tiny bit resembling diapers...Hmmm
Can anyone compete with Ladurée's aray of shapes, sizes and variety in box design? I doubt it. Their designer must be the Yves St. Laurent of candy box couture...
This chic turquoise box comes from Patrick Roger . An intensely orange slipcase slides over the blue box...striking.
French branding (IMO) is about ribbons, past-on stickers and whymsical boxes. Not giant billboards that knock you over or your car on the highway. And don't forget those signature sacs (bags). Pink is a favored color for Paris boxes but black too is popular.
You're probably thinking, Hmmm...I'm more interested in the contents of that box.
I brought home this pile of candy boxes, and I have another bag full of brand name ribbons. They have no sell-by date. One shop can have 2-3 different signature brand ribbons on offer. They only make these in France as far as I can tell. I've often thought how nice to have a ribbon with Paris Breakfasts name on it. If I knew where to order them, I would tout suite...

New Highs: An Indicator of a Top?

A winner was selected from 52 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
Hi, we are a Dish Network Satellite TV retailer. If you're not familiar with Dish Network, they are 1 of 2 main Satellite TV companies in the United States.
Our current website is a few years old and is in need of a facelift.
We just need 1 page. This contest is just for the design.
Sterling Satellite
We sell Dish Network programming online.
Here is our current website:
Here is Dish Network's website:
Visitors usually come to Sterling Satellite because they have searched on Google or Yahoo for Dish Network. When they get to the website the either order online or call to speak with a sales agent.
Demographics:Male: 44%, Female 56%
Primary age: 35-64
I would like the website to have a similar feel to
http://dishnetwork.com/packages/default.aspx, but I don't want to exactly copy it.
I do like the red navigation bar and would like to have something similar. I like the clean lines and slightly rounded corners on text boxes and images. I would like to have a left side sub navigation similar to the packages menu.
- Dish Network's main color is red. Good colors for the website are red, black, gray, white. Red should be the main accent color.
- The red navigation bar should contain these links: Packages, Premium Movies, Sports, International, Receivers, FAQ, Home
- There should be room for a search bar at the end of the navigation bar too.
- We have a Dish Network Authorized Retailer logo that should be used at the top left of the page.
- I would like some room above the navigation bar for a phone number, about us, and contact us links

2014 Nissan Sentra, which abandons all pretensions and embraces its identity as a boring, garden-variety compact. Is going full-on vanilla enough to sway buyers from other options?
Give the People What They Want
Today, car buyers are being swayed toward taller crossovers because they prefer the feeling of an elevated seating position. The 2014 Nissan Sentra gives a similar sense of height from behind the wheel, but it wasn't until I pulled up next to a late-90s Honda Civic that I realized just how much the Sentra towers over older compact cars. It's also far more spacious inside than compacts of the past. In fact, the Sentra's headroom, passenger legroom, and positively huge cargo space all rival the larger, midsize Altima. The 2014 Nissan Sentra doesn't suffer from anonymous styling either—it's as sleek and polished-looking as the big-brother Altima.
Class the Place Up
What else do car shoppers crave? Nice stuff. The 2014 Nissan Sentra looks premium and feels solid enough inside to hold up to the daily wear-and-tear of commuting. "Nissan makes effective use of plastic and vinyl to convey a premium feel, which isn't always easy to do," said staff photographer Patrick Hoey. Nobody is expecting fine-grain wood and mood-sensitive ionized perfumes, but the Sentra's attractive, well-designed dashboard and tech features (like Bluetooth, navigation, push-button start) go far beyond the bare-bones days of previous economy cars.
It's Slow, But So What?
Where the Sentra falls short is its weakling 130-hp 1.8-liter four-cylinder. It's straight-up geriatric merging from an on-ramp, but the Sentra's powertrain is really tuned more for low-speed maneuvering in city traffic. It won't kick-start your heart, but that's not the Sentra's purpose, as much as it is easy driving and 39 mpg on the highway. Case in point, Nissan focused on revising ride and handling for 2014. "Compared to last year, the new car feels a lot less floaty and vague thanks to tighter steering and slightly firmer suspension tuning," said associate web editor Joey Capparella.
It might not be the enthusiast's choice, but the 2014 Nissan Sentra is a car that succeeds at exceeding the wants and needs of most consumers. It's proof that a good vanilla will always have a place on a car shopper's palate.

So in November, Microsoft will be bolting a supercharger, KERS and NOX to its Xbox 360, slapping on a new badge - the Xbox One - and launching the next generation of games consoles. It's accepted wisdom that a new console needs to launch alongside an all-new driving game, so step forward Microsoft-owned publisher Turn 10 and its revered racing sim, Forza Motorsport. We caught up with Forza Motorsport 5's creative director Dan Greenawalt, to find out what more power under the hood of a console means for the next generation of driving games…
So Dan, tell us what gifts does a next gen system give to a studio like Turn 10 and a game like Forza?
Well you know, about four years ago when the platform teams were planning out the Xbox one, they came to a lot of the first party and third party teams and said, "What are the games that you want to create? What are you looking for?"
Well, you'd hope so.
Well yes, obviously we were one of the teams that they came to. And we wanted to be native 1080p, 60 frames per second, we were looking already at things like open wheel racing and there were changes we wanted to do with the physics to be able to do that. Not only because we wanted to do the kinetic model to get the suspension right, but also because those cars are so much faster, even than an LMP [Le Mans Prototype] car. So being able to maintain a 1080p 60fps at those speeds, that was important. We were still nowhere near the power that we would expect out of a console at that point.
But we started getting at the physically-based material and recreating the way that paint has multiple layers, and the imperfections that you see on the machining of wheels, rotors and inside the paint coat, and bringing a city like Prague to life with the history, and pock marks on the cobblestones, all that was a new way of doing materials and requires a lot of power. So the Xbox One does a really good job of actually delivering on physically based materials.
Sounds complicated… Anything else?
The other thing was being cloud powered. This is something that I've been really excited about since the original Drivatar, but we didn't actually know how we'd ever realise it. The idea of big data just wasn't around back then. So the original Drivatar, it's a learning system, it's machine learning, it's a Bayesian network [a statistical model which represents a set of random models and their conditional dependencies. If that helps] which was way ahead of its time back in 2005.
We updated that in subsequent Forzas, but we didn't tear it down and rethink the entire problem. And this is what's so exciting about the new Drivatar. It's not really like AI. It's like big data. It's like search. So we log telemetry on you and the servers just start thinking about it. They start collecting and looking at other people and other data and it's not really about what you did at that point per se, it's about building a model. Because if a collection of people start doing something similar, then the overall system learns that new behaviour. Like check braking, we don't tell it to check brake, but if enough people check brake it learns how to check brake. And it doesn't mean that everybody's Drivatar check brakes, it just learned a new behaviour because the population learned it. And then, if you happen to check brake, your Drivatar says, "Oh yeah, I know how to do that!" so it's going to continue to evolve as more people drive. And that to me is what's so exciting, every time you log in, there'll be something new. People have said it sound like replays, but it's nothing like replays, it's nothing like line following.
Okay, geek alert. I hardly understood a word of that. Is there an idiot's guide, please?
I know. I love this s**t and I'm sorry about that! The easiest way is that all the things you're fearful about in sci-fi, and AI coming to life and killing humanity? Basically, that's what Drivatar is. Skynet is officially self aware! It happened today! Look, it's basically a learning machine, and it is techy and that's actually been the struggle, you know? I was really excited about this because I know the impact it's going to have when you go into a race and see cars faking each other out, not faking you out, AI playing with each other, racecraft, when have you ever seen racing AI have a racecraft? Where they fake left, dodge right, where they don't just draft and hit each other, but they hit each other because they wanted to, and had that intention.
Or they go three abreast, totally clean, complex passes where they're cutting corners, learning faster ways around the track than a traditional AI system would do? It's that kind of experience that people are going to see. I was explaining on the tech side, but on the experience side, you're not going to be able to tell the difference between really, really fast people, you know, humans! In multiplayer, and griefing humans, and everything else, it'll be humanity in your single player, and I know that some people are concerned about, "I don't want griefers in my game!" that's okay! You've got difficulty settings. You don't have to have them in your game.
So where you had computer controlled AI, you've now got people that the game has learned from, from their telemetry being uploaded to the cloud?
Yeah, and it looks like them as well, so if I get into a race, my brother, my sister will be in the race, and they'll be driving their cars from their garage, their customised liveries, and they're going to drive the way they drive. You know, my sister tends to cut me off, and she does an outside/inside pass all the time on me. That's what her Drivatar's going to do.
The hero cars are the McLaren P1 and the Pagani Huayra. How do you choose the hero car in your games?
Well it's interesting because at E3 those cars are getting the lion's share of the media, but actually I would say the hero car is the P1. And we choose our hero car on a few different levels. We're looking for partners who are actually going to bring something in to the simulation of the game. But we see ourselves as an editorial group. We don't play favourites. So we had Audi help us at the launch of Forza Motorsport 3. Audi didn't get any preferential treatment, but we did actually get a lot of data from their race team, because data makes our simulation better, not just on their cars, on all cars. McLaren's the same way. That's actually the great thing about a partnership with McLaren. They're a technology company. So imagine you want to do a better physics simulation of open wheel and you want to improve your aerodynamics. McLaren? They're on a short list.
There's some expertise there…
Exactly. And it just so happens that these cars like the LaFerrari, the Huayra and the P1, these are cars that only come out every 15 years. And so to happen to have the P1 come out now, you know, that's just an incredibly fortuitous event.
It has been an amazing couple of years for hypercar concepts, with the likes of the LaFerrari, Lamborghini Veneno and the Aston Martin CC100. How flexible can you guys be in putting cars in your game at late notice?
Because of our process of bringing cars to life, we are incredibly inflexible. It takes us almost six months to build a car, and that's if the manufacturer gives us CAD. And what we've found is that the manufacturer's data is often nowhere near as accurate as we need it. So we usually have to put our hands on it. The CADs helpful, but then we put our hands on it and we laser scan it and take photographs and it just takes a long time to build, especially when we're trying to get this level of detail on the painting and all of that. So six months is our standard time. We can cut that down by weeks, but not a lot. There are always, always cars that we wish we put in, but that's what's great about having continuous downloadable content, we're able to add cars at our pace, because we don't want to rush the pace, we want the cars to be accurate, we want the physics on the cars to be real, we want the sound on the cars to be accurate. We're really that anal.
Is there one that's really frustrated you that springs to mind?
We're not actually at the time yet where it would be frustrating. There's not been a big announcement that's not something we already have in flight, as far as I'm concerned. I would say probably at the end of June, or July we're going to get something, I don't know what it would be, that I'm going to read in a magazine, and I'm going to be looking at the clock and going, "Tick tock!" We're not going to get that in, in six months.
So, as an example. Would you be able to get the Aston CC100 in now, or has that ship sailed?
The nice thing is that we've actually known about the CC100 for quite a while.
But your job is essentially the best car shopping in the world. We'll have that one, and that one, and…
We've got a big process for actually coming up with the cars. It's interesting. Over the last 10 years we've seen a huge change in the way that manufacturers approve and approach new media, which is the area that video games falls into. It was "new media" because they're old companies. What they're starting to learn is that "new media" is just "media". And that's how they're going to reach the next generation of car enthusiasts. If they think that we're on the fringe and that video games is another way to reach their customer? No. We're the major way that they're going to reach the next generation of customer.
We had posters on our walls. Now kids can actually drive these cars…
They drive them in games. They have pictures of them digitally on their phone and on their tablets, it's not the same world. And car manufacturers know this, they obviously have very big marketing wings, and so they come to use and say: "Hey, there's this new car, we're really excited about it!" And we're able to say, "We're excited about it too," and the nice thing is that we're getting heads up about it ahead of time, because they now know our timelines.
So to go back to Aston, you said they'd spoken to you about the CC100…
Yeah, they'd spoken to us about the CC100 fairly early, it's a very cool car. We hear about a lot of these cars. Some cars we put in the DLC, kind of save them for later, some cars we put in the game, and a lot of times we're also looking for a commitment from the actual manufacturer, that they're really going to make a car.
Forza 4 had quite a lot of Jeremy Clarkson. We understand that Forza 5 is going to feature all three chaps…?
They are! We worked with Top Gear, and we worked with Charlie [Turner] on the magazine side, looking at the hundreds of cars that we have in our car list and putting them into groups that are more rivalry or spiritually based, and Top Gear would have an opinion on them. And they are narrating on these careers. They kind of hopefully giving you a feeling of what's exciting about these cars. So they're not just a random collection of cars, they're a collection of cars that feels like there's a heritage there. A history. If these cars were people, they would hate each other - having that level of passion.
Which makes sense, because when you're talking about Top Gear, it's essentially three people who hate each other…
That too! The great thing actually was having all three guys write, and come up with their take on each one of these different things. We actually had great material to choose from where sometimes they had very strong opinions about this group of cars, and fond memories or angry thoughts and what have you. And sometimes it was just like yeah, here's a history lesson. And having all three of them allowed us to pick and choose really funny, real Top Gear moments.
So how is that presented in the game? Because at the moment there are simple sets of menus to delve into, in the single player game. How have you bolted three old men onto this?
We're still in the pre-beta format of the game, so a lot of what people have seen so far is going to be swapped out and changed. We're experimenting with these flows. What it comes down to is that we've streamlined the overall flow, where we curate the cars you buy and we curate the paint jobs you buy and you're looking at these mini careers, and then there's a flow of getting into your car and learning more about that group and having Top Gear present information and then going on this journey to all these different environments, having different types of races that you're getting into. It really amplifies the rivalry between the cars, it feels very bespoke. So that whole thing is kind of a flow, it's a story, right?
So are they narrating the single player game?
In most ways they're bookending, setting it up, because what we're trying to do is borrow against the emotion they're putting forward. At the highest level, it's a collection of cars. And racing games, even Forza in the past has been: "Hey, it's a race. With a collection of cars." And if you know cars, you know why those 6, 8, 10, 20 cars belong together. But if you don't know cars, that's where we thought Top Gear could add the most value, actually coming and saying, well any car enthusiast knows this, but what Top Gear does so well is actually translate car enthusiasts to… my wife. So I look at a group of cars and I'm like, hot hatch! Yeah. The original GTi, blah blah, it's there!
But for your wife, it's incredibly boring.
But they can come in and explain that this hot hatch was a revolution because it allowed kids on the coast to get into a lot of trouble tuning up their cars, and just tell those great stories. And then through the rest of the races we can borrow against that.
Right! In your demo, you told us that you can finish your car this time round in 24-carat gold, if the mood takes you. Whose idea was that? And is that the weirdest thing you can clothe your car in?
Oh yeah, much weirder! I don't know what we'll end up shipping, if I'm honest in that area. We can create materials. It's alchemy. You know, we can honestly create skin, we can create leather, we can create anything that's on a car, and pretty much anything else. So we could cover a car in leaves. Absolutely. And so we went through our first review, and we had every material we had built for the game and there are thousands of these materials: cobblestone, flags, canvas! And just started looking at it and going: "That's money! Or, that's cool!" And the first barometer we held up was, "Is this the sort of thing that 3M currently makes a wrap for?" And we were like, we should include all of those. Anything that they pretty much say yeah, you can go buy a chrome wrap, or you can go buy a carbon fibre wrap, a matte wrap, so those just got a pass immediately, because you can do this today. Then we started looking at more wild things, and honestly the jury's still out. We're a very passionate team, and we're still debating a lot of these. We saw some cool ones though, like raw fibre glass, that dull, milky fibre glass, with the little pieces of fibre that go through it. We had that, and put it on the outside of a car, and it looked… funny? We liked it. But, I don't know, something about it didn't look right from a distance so, I'm not saying if it's in or it's out, we're just currently looking at those right now.
What are the silliest options you've considered?
There were some that were absolutely out there. Like alcantara, covering a car in alcantara. It's not only that it's kind of weird, but it didn't actually look very good. It caught light very realistically, bit it kind of breaks your brain. It looks weird! It's not even like matte, because matte absorbs light, but not like alcantara, because alcantara has grains that go different directions, so… we've gone way too deep into that subject!
The last time we caught up with you, you were getting an BMW M3. Do you still have that, and how's it working out for you?
Look, the game we're working on the team of a few years ago could not have built. I couldn't have managed the project we're working on right now. It took maturity in our process, tools and our engine, all of the individuals involved had to be more mature. And as a result it's actually invigorated my career, I'm more excited to work in games than I ever have been. I'm 13 years now into this experience, but… I'm working real hard! I'll just say, I don't see my car very much, it kinda gets me home, and it gets me back to work, and that's kinda that.
Ah, that's a bit sad…
I know people want me to be like this playboy who owns a bunch of cars and I come to events like this, and I've been driving the MP4 up and down, and having a good time this week, but when I go back to work, the truth is, what they really want, is what I really do. I don't do a playboy lifestyle, I got to Calspan [tyre research facility] and I test tyres. And I bring that knowledge to bear for our customers. So I don't go racing on the track, I have raced, I'm not a bad racer, I'm okay, but that's not what people want me doing with my time, they want me working! And the great thing is, right now, I love working. I really enjoy the job.
Have you managed to have a go in the P1?
I haven't, no. I shared the stage with it, I daresay it upstaged me.
But have you sat in it?
I did.
How did that feel?
Well, at that point, it feels like a car. It's a nice car. But it's sitting in a car. I think also, the MP4-12C is a wonderful car to sit in, the 458 is a wonderful car to sit in and the P1 feels like a wonderful hypercar to sit in. It's not so bejewelled and bedazzled as the Huayra.
Well, the philosophies are so different, right?
That's why I liked bringing both of them here in the game, because people kind of put them in the same group, because they're hypercars, but they're nothing alike, they're ridiculous. But they're nothing alike. The P1's understated. It's nice. The stitching's beautiful, but it's hard to separate just sitting in it from an MP4. Now, I've not heard it fired up and driven, and that's when I think that car will separate itself even from the glorious MP4-12C.
