I'll now turn the call over to the New Frontier Media's Chief Executive Officer, Michael Weiner. Michael Weiner Thank you, Grant, and good morning, everyone. New Frontier Media continued to execute its long-term strategic plan during the second quarter of fiscal 2011. As part of this effort to advance the strategic plan, we have been focusing our attention on expanding the transactional TV segment's international footprint. During the reported quarter, we grew our international revenue to $1.4 million, up 75% as compared to the same prior year quarter. The large majority of this revenue has been generated through VOD distribution. We are expanding the international service we provide to include pay-per-view channels and then recently we made several key investments in order to further these efforts. In April, we announced a new transponder agreement allowing us to distribute up to three pay-per-view channels in Latin America. During the completed quarter, we successful launched these channels and are already distributing the pay-per-view channels on the largest system in Mexico and Columbia.

Despite intensive treatment that generally combines surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) have a long-term survival rate of only 15-50%. Thus, there is a great need for improvements in pharmacologic treatments/chemotherapeutics for OSCCs. One current theory is that conventional treatment fails because it does not adequately treat cancer-initiating cells (CICs), also called cancer stem cells (CSCs). Our laboratory developed the 4-NQO (4-nitroquinoline oxide) carcinogenesis model of oral cancer for mice, now the most widely used murine model for the study of the development of OSCC. When we provide 4-NQO, a carcinogen and a surrogate for the neoplastic lesions caused by smoking, in the drinking water, mice develop lesions in their oral cavities that mimic those in humans, including hyperplasia, dysplasia, leukoplakia, papilloma, and invasive squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs);moreover, the molecular markers of OSCC in this murine model are the same as many of those in human OSCCs. Here we propose to use a cell lineage-tracing approach in this 4-NQO oral carcinogenesis model to test the hypothesis that certain Polycomb proteins which are involved in chromatin regulation, specifically Bmi1, also play a major role in putative CICs in the oral cavity. Bmi1-expressing cells will be permanently marked at the time of tamoxifen addition by using transgenic mice that have a tamoxifen-regulated, creER(TAM) fusion protein gene driven by the Bmi1 promoter, and crossing them with Rosa26 """"""""confetti"""""""" reporter transgenic mice. These mice will be followed during the carcinogenesis process to determine the Bmi1-expressing cell progeny and the expression of Bmi1+ marked cells in OSCCs that develop over time. We will also characterize the functions of Bmi1 in OSCC by over- expressing Bmi1, specifically in the oral cavity epithelium and in a regulated manner, through the use of a doxycycline-regulated expression vector in mice during oral cavity carcinogenesis. Completion of these aims will provide us with much new information about the Bmi1 gene, which is thought to be a key gene required for formation of CICs in human OSCCs. Moreover, the techniques used and further developed in this proposed research will provide us with useful, powerful tools with which to identify and study CICs in OSCC, including their ability to self-renew, their abilityto differentiate, and their phenotypic fluidity. This knowledge is essential to discover new therapies and to screen for drugs that target CICs in human OSCCs.
Despite intensive treatment that generally combines surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) have a long-term survival rate of only 15-50%. Treatment often results in orofacial dysfunction and a major reduction in quality of life. We will be able to devise more effective treatments for OSCCs by learning more about cancer initiating cells (CICs) that might be responsible for the failure of traditional chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

General Accounting Office, Telecommunications: Greater Use of Satellite Telecommunications To Link ADP Facilities Could Save Millions (EMD-81-102; B-203691) (June 19, 1981) (full-text).
Overview Edit
The GAO conducted a review of the Department of Energy's (DOE) planning and acquisition of automatic data processing (ADP) equipment.
During its review, the GAO noted that DOE needs to strengthen its ADP acquisition planning procedures to ensure that its computing requirements are met in a cost-effective manner. Several weaknesses were identified in certain aspects of DOE procurement plans to acquire a major scientific computing system for its research and development work.
The GAO review showed that DOE has not fully considered using available satellite telecommunication data processing capabilities, a less costly alternative. Although DOE procedures require that written justifications for ADP equipment include information on each of these requirements, the review shows that they were not discussed in the justification submitted by the laboratories involved.
There is no evidence that appropriate studies have been performed to evaluate the feasibility of alternative approaches. Satellite communications which provide the requisite speed for rapid data transmission were commercially available. Costs would be lower using these systems rather than using the encumbent service. DOE questioned the present technological feasibility of using this matter. In view of the potential cost benefits of using satellite technology, it is the opinion of the GAO that ADP equipment not be completed until all alternatives are fully evaluated and documented. DOE must fully consider satellite technology in meeting its future computing requirements.

Flying is usually the quickest and most convenient way to travel – especially to far-flung destinations. But hanging around for hours before a flight, even longer if there's any delay, can result in restlessness. Rather than regarding this waiting period as a necessary drag, it's possible to use this time for enjoyment. Read on for ideas on airport activities designed to relieve boredom.
Indulge yourself with duty-free shopping
Most airports, especially major ones, have amazing shops selling top brands at duty-free prices. While it's not practical to weigh yourself down with too many shopping bags, on the way there at least, indulging in one or two items that will fit easily in your hand luggage is perfectly fine. Even if you don't want to purchase anything, window shopping alone can still be lots of fun and provide a decent dose of retail therapy.
Relax in a sumptuous airport lounge
Trying to unwind on uncomfortable standard airport seating is never going to be an enjoyable experience. However, relaxing on snuggly couches and having access to entertainment options and a constant supply of food and drink makes paying a bit extra for access to an airport lounge an attractive option. These luxe lounges differ greatly around the world. Some include superior features such as spas, swanky cocktail bars and fine dining restaurants. Quite often, frequent travellers who are VIP members of certain airlines get automatic entry to these lounges.
Socialize and enjoy quality time
Especially if you're travelling with friends, those few hours at the airport can become quality time with the right approach. Instead of just waiting around clock watching and quickly grabbing food, why not enjoy a bit of socializing by going for a meal or coffee and having a good chinwag? If you're lucky enough to be in one of the world's most entertaining airports, this can easily translate into leisure time. Singapore's Changi Airport has a rooftop pool, interactive art gallery, nature trail and even a children's slide, Nashville International Airport holds regular concerts for travellers and Hong Kong International has the world's only IMAX airport cinema.
Get some work done
Free or cheap high-speed Wi-Fi is widely available at airports making it possible to catch up with work on the go. Whether you've got a jam-packed email box that needs clearing or simply want to get something completed that will save you time later on, curling up in a coffee shop or airport lounge with your laptop and utilizing those extra hours to get ahead with work makes a lot of sense. This might not be the most exciting of airport activities, but it's certainly convenient.
Do you have any more ideas on what to do at the airport to add?

I have long hair for a guy, it almost reaches my shoulders. My hair tends to throw people off because it's white. As in, white as snow. ALL the hair on my body is. >_>; For as long as I can remember. I'm korean and white, so my skin is a little dark and I have an asian face, and asians don't really have light hair often, haha. It doesn't look dead or nappy or anything, it's actually healthy and shiny and soft, but people still think it's weird and generally aren't attracted to it. xD;
I like any kind of hair on a girl, as long as it's healthy. I think hair looks better when it isn't dyed or anything, even if it can look nice sometimes. I like a more natural look, in general. The style/length depends on the girls face.00|00|0

Beverly is one of the 77 community areas of Chicago, Illinois. It is located on the South Side on the southwestern edge of the city. The borders are (roughly) 87th Street on the north; Beverly Avenue, Hale Avenue and Vincennes Road on the east; 107th Street on the south; and Francisco Avenue and Western Avenue on the west. A segment of the eastern part of the Ridge Country Club lies with the boundaries of the community. Sparsely settled in the middle of the 19th century, Beverly began to be developed by business interests from Chicago[3] in the latter part of the nineteenth century, encouraged largely by the completion in 1889 of the suburban line of the Rock Island Railroad that runs parallel with the eastern edge of the Blue Island ridge (see the Ulrich & Son ad that appears elsewhere in this article). Its position on the ridge allowed the community to become an exclusive streetcar suburb, and the homes and large lots reflect this historic distinction. Beverly is located on the highest elevation in Chicago,[4] and is the city's largest white-majority neighborhood with the highest percentage of Black residents.[5]
Beverly has quick access (by public transport or car) to all of the Chicago financial markets, shopping, airports, and attractions, yet retains itself as a peaceful and quiet wooded community. Beverly is one of the top five largest historic districts in any major city in the USA. The particular trains that are accessed by the Beverly community are provided from Metra's Rock Island line.[6]
North Blue Island[edit]
Beverly is one of few areas in the City of Chicago that features a hilly terrain. This geography is due to its location in the middle of the geological formation known as the Blue Island Ridge. In its early years of settlement this area as well as Morgan Park to the south was known as North Blue Island,[7] denoting its relationship to the village of Blue Island, which was settled in 1836 and is located a few miles to the south.
|Historical population
The neighborhood's roots are largely English and Protestant but is now home to a large Irish-American/Catholic community and many Irish establishments. Prior to European American settlement the area was home to the Potawatomi Indians, who in 1833, after the Black Hawk War, were moved west of the Mississippi River by the federal government.[9][10] The community (along with Morgan Park to the south) is the home of the South Side Irish Parade, which is held every year on the Sunday prior to St. Patrick's Day. It hails as the largest neighborhood parade of any type in the country.[11]
The neighborhood currently is home to more Irish-style pubs than any other in Chicago.[citation needed] There is a house whose design was inspired by castles from the builder's native Ireland. The Beverly Branch Library has the largest Irish heritage collection in Chicago. This branch opened a new facility in June 2009 which has a new LEED certified design and engineering. Beverly Branch houses a bronze sculpture by Virginio Ferrari entitled Two Lovers; additional art has been commissioned for the new branch. Artwork was funded through the Percent for Art Ordinance administered by the City of Chicago Public Art Program.[12]
During World War II, Beverly served as a peaceful sanctuary for wounded officers in the Allied Forced of many nations who were in recovery.[citation needed]
Some families move to Beverly in order to provide their children with a private school education defined by Catholic Parish boundaries.[citation needed]
There are four Catholic parishes: St. Barnabas, Christ the King, St. John Fisher, and St. Cajetan. Beverly is a main drawing ground for many of the Chicago area's all-boys schools (Brother Rice, Mt. Carmel, St. Rita, St. Laurence), all-girls schools (Mother McAuley, Queen of Peace, Mount Assisi Academy (closed in 2014); and co-educational Marist Catholic high school. Council Oak Montessori School is a PreK-8 Montessori school in Beverly. Ridge Academy is also in Beverly.

An advertisement from the Chicago Daily Tribune that appeared on May 10, 1891 extolling the advantages of living in Beverly Hills.[16]
Advertisement from the Chicago Daily Tribune, November 24, 1889, advertising lots for sale in Longwood, Beverly, and the surrounding region. The area at the northern end of the ridge was first known as "the long wood", and the name of Longwood as an area of Beverly and by extension the roadway Longwood Drive perpetuates this early history.[17] The real estate firm of Samuel H. Kerfoot (1823-1896)[18] claims the distinction of being the first business to re-open in the burnt district after the Great Fire of 1871[19]
Beverly features the work of many notable architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright, George Washington Maher, Harry Waterman, Robert Seyfarth, Tallmadge and Watson and Walter Burley Griffin. This house at 10200 S. Longwood Drive was built in 1890 by Horace Horton, the owner of Chicago Bridge and Iron Company. It was designed by John G. Long, who was inspired by the H.A.C. Taylor house in Newport, Rhode Island by McKim, Mead & White (1886).[20]

How many of you remember Yu-Gi-Oh? Remember the movie? Of course you don't! The slippery slope to franchise obsolesce began ten years ago, when Warner Bros. released the franchise's first theatrical feature, Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie. What was supposed to be an event movie on the caliber of when Pokemon lit up the big screen in 1999 ended up flaming out the franchise within two more years. That's a troubling legacy, but why pin it all on this movie?
First off, you're probably wondering just what is this movie about? Well, the plot is unmemorable at best and generic and uninspired at worst. The following will only make sense to franchise veterans and fans. All others beware: Seta Kaiba wants to challenge Yugi Motou to a duel to take his crown as "world's best duelist". Meanwhile, the ancient evil Anubis is bidding to return from the dead and destroy the pharaoh. Oh no, what will they do?
And...that's it, really. Sounds pretty generic, huh?
Yu-Gi-Oh!'s movie debut didn't take any good advantage of its big screen opportunity. The animation quality, for example, is abysmal. Back in 2004, trailers online looked rather frame-y and stutter heavy. When I saw them, I assumed the quality of the frame rate was low simply the fault of my internet connection (56k). I thought, "Oh, the film's animation is just unfinished". But no: that lack of smooth movement, and animation in general, is actually what you get in the final product.
If you're wondering how this movie could be of such low quality, the answer lies in the circumstances behind this movie's production. Unlike every Pokemon movie, which is created by the core Japanese production team, this movie was instigated by dubbers 4Kids Entertainment. Perhaps hoping to catch similar success to 1999's Pokemon: The First Movie, they commissioned the Yu-Gi-Oh! movie, no doubt inspiring the storyline and influencing the production.
The animation as it looks doesn't have the quality of the TV anime, as it was undoubtedly outsourced (when your TV show has better animation than the movie, that's a bad sign). Such a situation happened later in 2006 with Pokemon's Mastermind of Mirage Pokemon, also made for the west first. 4Kids may have also pushed for the appearances of fan-favorite characters to appear (a'la Maxamillion Pegasus, ect...) Also arguable were the specific, dub-ready references in the script to the series' longevity in the States at that point in real-time (there's a nod to Yugi and Kaiba's rivalry going on three years, as the franchise premiered stateside in 2001). Would a Japan-made script be so specific?
If fans weren't possibly thrilled with this movie, the critics of the time sure weren't. Aggregated reviews on Rotten Tomatoes gave Yu-Gi-Oh! a terrible 5% rotten rating. That's lower than any of the Pokemon movies, which also got similarly savaged. However, the tone of the reviews for Yu-Gi-Oh! seemed more negative and vitriolic. Here are some samples of the hate-orade.
This cartoon based on the popular and complicated card game might as well be written in another language. Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
The latest kiddie con job to float over from Tokyo. Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
I suspect even children will be sophisticated enough to understand that a film should feel more alive than a trading card. Anthony Del Valle, Las Vegas Mercury
Now, to be fair, the five Pokemon movies were similarly poorly reviewed, so I'll take the hit for that, as a Pokemon fan criticizing a similar franchise much as people attack Pokemon. However, I've gathered that more people hold a love for Pokemon to this day, long after the initial "craze". I mean, how can you have a certain fondness for Yu-Gi-Oh's movie when it has lines like:
"It's time to get real with the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon!"
"...Show him what true power is all about!"
"Bro, I smell trouble." "Actually, that was me."
"Kaiba, once again, your ridiculously inflated ego BLINDS you to the truth!"
"It is no longer time to duel, now it is time to DIE!"
(...and so much more)
I pontificate that Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie created a form of brand erosion. Its poor quality, from the animation to the storytelling and so forth (and, oh god, the music), led to a rift between fans and the brand. Personally, I fell out of Yu-Gi-Oh! in the space of a year, pushed by how awful the movie was. Not just because of the expense of trading card games. Once the original series ended its run on Kids WB, I was out, and fully in the arms of Nintendo's Pokemon forever. Pokemon's strength was, and is, consistency, in both quality and meeting expectations.
Pokemon: The First Movie makes an interesting and direct counterpoint to Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie. Despite being made on gritty cel animation, it manages to look worlds better than the shinier, glossier Yu-Gi-Oh. It also happens to bear a higher level of craft in all other areas, especially the original Japanese version. The anime animation has more atmosphere, the writing doesn't insult the intelligence, the music by Shinji Miyazaki is superbly moody, and the storyline is much more inspired. The retelling of Mewtwo's origins is more interesting than a 'big evil villain' revenge story.
And while it probably doesn't mean anything, Pokemon made much more at the box office than Yu-Gi-Oh!: $85 million domestic versus $19 million.
Now, there was another Yu-Gi-Oh! movie, many years later. This one, no relation to the 2004 release, was Bonds Across Time. Arguably more fan service-driven than the earlier 4Kids production, it crossed over the heroes of the first three Yu-Gi-Oh! series into one giant duel. And honestly, it's the better movie, but not by a whole lot. The good news is that it was produced in-house by the original Japanese production team (while dubbed by 4Kids once again). In the States, Bonds Across Time didn't receive a wide theatrical release, which is why you may not have heard of it. It's strengths lie in the higher level of draftsmanship and by virtue of being playing the fans and no one else. With lower expectations and the proper team behind the production, Bonds Across Time plays much better to its audience.
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie stands as a lesson on how not to do a film adaptation of an anime show. It's wrought with a sense of drollness and predictability. The duels may be exciting to fans, but compared to Pokemon battles, they are much more baroque to anyone not familiar with the franchise. There are 17 Pokemon movies at this point, and they all show more bite, excitement, and variety than the one major Yu-Gi-Oh! feature. It's true the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise is still alive and well, but it's not anywhere near the zeitgeist that it was for a few years. Pokemon, meanwhile, can sell 12 million copies of the X and Y versions on the 3DS in a matter of months, without even trying too hard.
As this past weekend treated the world to the first-ever Pokemon Symphonic Memories, just ask yourself this: why has Pokemon endeared and endured in a way Yu-Gi-Oh! never did?
Update: The original version of this article said Yu-Gi-Oh! had a 2% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It is actually 5%. Apologies for the error

I have been added as a sub-account, I has made payment for Bronze Package, however Jotform is still asking me to upgrade. Please help!!Asked by singyang on April 18, 2016 at 01:00 PM
JotForm Support
I have checked your account and your account is on Free plan. There is only one form that is shared with, from account aaronkobes. You do not have any form that is created on your account.
I also saw that your account was upgraded. It seems that wrong account was upgraded and my colleague refunded the payment on this thread.
Considering that aaronkobes is main account and form that is shared with your account is created on that account, you need to upgrade account aaronkobes to enable that account and form.
Hope this will help. Let us know if you need further assistance.

So im here in Austin and have access to this awesome shop that carries alot of specialty molds, pans, and such that you cant get in a general grocery, michaels, or hobby lobby. I have a friend in the dfw area who is looking for a similar style shop, anybody know of any?
There are actually two or three places in the DFW area. Cake Carousel is in Richardson. Doing a goggle search I found Elizabeth's Cake Supplies in Euless.
This thread is a little outdate, but it has some information on it as well.
There is also a shop in Sherman, Texas called Patty Cakes Decorating Classes and Supplies. www.patty-cakes-decorating.com
The owner is Sheryl Robinson...she will special orders things as well.
She doesn't have an on-line store set up yet, but the website will give you the store address and contact info.
She is an awesome teacher and knows cake decorating. It is worth the trip to Sherman. Her prices are comparable to Cake Carousel and she is friendly where they are not.

In Need Of Some Winter Sun? Sky Travel's Guide To LanzarotePosted on: 01 December 2008 by Gareth Hargreaves
The most easterly of all the Canary Islands, Lanzarote, or Isla de Fuego ("Fire Island") as it is known locally, is full of drama and intrigue.
With the majority of its surface covered in solidified lava and nearly 300 volcanic peaks its landscape can certainly be described as "other-worldly", and it's probably the reason why it was chosen as the setting for the hit film, Planet of the Apes. Timanfaya National Park, which comprises nearly a third of the island, is where you can see the volcanic legacy of the centuries-old eruptions.
But all of this scenic drama doesn't stop Lanzarote from being an ideal place to come and relax. The sandy beaches, year round sunshine and good range of facilities make it a popular place to get away from it all, whatever time of year it may be.
Flights from the UK take about four hours and fifteen minutes, and arrive at Arrecife International Airport.

Watch the Cesar Manrique Video
Food And Drink
Lanzarote, like all of the Spanish islands, has a range of delicious specialities to try. As well as the traditional favourites, like sangria, tortilla and fresh seafood there are a range of local dishes to sample. Try mojo picon, (a canarian sauce), vieja (a tasty fish dish), sanocho canario (a fish salad with a hot sauce), pescado al plancha (grilled white fish), bacalao al ajo arriero (dried cod with tomatoes and peppers) and arehucas (a local rum).
Shopping is also a rich experience with most towns holding a weekly market. The Friday market in Jabillo and the night-time Costa Teguise market are two favourites where you can pick up a variety of souvenirs and fresh produce. The Playa Blanca market is held three times a week, so there's no excuse not to pay a visit.
If it's high-street shopping you're after, then the Biosphere Plaza in Puerto del Carmen should be what you're looking for. If not, try the Deiland Commercial Centre, which has three floors of shops, a cinema and a bowling alley. The Rubicon Marina in Playa Blanca is a good stop-off if you fancy browsing designer boutiques.
Things to look out for in Lanzarote are leather, el golfo crystal, Olivina, a semi-precious stone and local produce such as Rum Miec (local rum with honey).
Watch the Duty Free Shopping Video
Other reasons to go:
- Called Isla De Fuego (Fire Island) by the locals due to nearly 300 volcanic peaks.
- Landscape shaped by volcanic eruptions including dramatic black sand beaches.
- Excellent conditions in the north for watersports, particularly surfing and windsurfing.
Sky Travel's top things to do in Lanzarote
Top of any visitors' list for Lanzarote has to be an excursion into the Parque Nacional de Timanfaya. Here you can discover the huge expanse of solidified lava fields, volcanic sands and Montañas del Fuego (the "Fire Mountains"). There's also the chance to take a camel ride across this alien landscape for a truly unique experience.
Watch the Timanfaya Park Video
Lanzarote is also home to culture and history, both of which can be found at the island's capital, Arrecife. Don't miss the Museo Internacional de Art Contemporáneo, or the city's two Castles: Castillo de San Gabriel and Castillo de San José.
If its relaxation and fun you're after, then you won't be disappointed with the island's beaches and the children will go crazy for the island's aqua park. SCUBA diving is also an option if you want to explore the island beneath the water's surface.

|Re: being a good citizen is hard when you can't successfully run tests....
|Mon, 17 Sep 2012 12:51:04 GMT
Hmmm, in my other digression I thought I was on this thread. No disagreement at all with the "stability report" idea etc. To address being able to run tests, does it make sense to create a new annotation "PeskyTest" or something? It would suit my use case, that people need to be able to reliably run all reasonable tests without much pain before checking code in. We could leave these tests running all the time for everyone, but add a note to "How To Contribute" about "feel free to check code in if it passes all tests when you disable PeskyTest" (and tell them how). By leaving in on by default, we'd get maximum test coverage on different machines/environments/whatever, but give people a good way to get the warm fuzzy that their new changes didn't break tests.

Integrys Energy GroupDividend Yield: 4.90% Integrys Energy Group (NYSE: TEG) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.90%. Integrys Energy Group, Inc., an energy holding company, engages in natural gas and electric utility operations, and non regulated energy operations in the United States and Canada. The company has a P/E ratio of 15.26. Currently there is 1 analyst that rates Integrys Energy Group a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and 6 rate it a hold. The average volume for Integrys Energy Group has been 370,100 shares per day over the past 30 days. Integrys Energy Group has a market cap of $4.4 billion and is part of the utilities industry. Shares are up 6.9% year to date as of the close of trading on Monday. TheStreet Ratings rates Integrys Energy Group as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, compelling growth in net income, reasonable valuation levels, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- TEG's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 3.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 6.2%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Multi-Utilities industry. The net income increased by 74.2% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $39.50 million to $68.80 million.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is somewhat low, currently at 0.89, and is less than that of the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively successful effort in the management of debt levels. Even though the company has a strong debt-to-equity ratio, the quick ratio of 0.29 is very weak and demonstrates a lack of ability to pay short-term obligations.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Multi-Utilities industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, INTEGRYS ENERGY GROUP INC has outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.

Next week marks the fourth anniversary of Operation Iraq Freedom. How does CNN plan to observe the event? An update, perhaps, on General Petraeus' new strategy to win the war, and the initial positive – if still early – reports from the battlefield?
Please. I did say "CNN." The network is set to run a one hour special: "Death Squads Reveals Links between Shia Death Squads, Iraqi Security Forces." CNN's report will in significant part be based on the work of an anonymous journalist.
Before considering the CNN report, let's review some of the recent developments in Iraq, as gleaned from MNF spokesman Maj. Gen. William Caldwell's press conference of March 14th:
- Prime Minister Maliki has affirmed that there will be no political interference in security operations. Iraq's leaders have lifted restrictions on Iraqi and Coalition forces that prevented them from going into certain areas, and U.S. and Iraqi troops are now pursuing the enemy in neighborhoods like Sadr City, where operations were once restricted.
- Iraqi and Coalition forces have secured significant sections of Sadr City without a shot fired in anger, an unimaginable achievement just months ago.
- About half of the planned joint security stations have been established in neighborhoods across Baghdad, helping coalition forces develop trust of local residents.
- Sectarian killings have been lower in Baghdad over the past several weeks than in the previous month.
- Sectarian displacement appears to have slowed or even stopped, with increasing numbers of families returning to their homes.
Other recent positive developments:
- More than 700 Shia radicals have been detained by Iraqi and Coalition forces in just the last 6 months.
- The PM and Minister of the Interior have fired or reassigned more than 10,000 personnel from the Iraqi Interior Ministry – people who were working subversively to stoke sectarian violence. http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/0305iraq0305.html
- In Feb., Iraq's Deputy Minister of Health was arrested by Iraqi security forces and Coalition forces – an action that would be been unthinkable a few months ago.
But if CNN's press release about its "Death Squads" report is any indication, the network doesn't plan to cover the progress that has been made in recent months in its special.
CNN's report also raises a journalistic issue. Its press release states that:
"Death Squads is a co-production of CNN and Channel 4/Quicksilver Media and is reported by a team of journalists: British journalist Deborah Davies, an Iraqi journalist working anonymously and CNN's John Roberts."
We're all familiar with anonymous sources. But anonymous journalists? We can understand the personal security concerns. But as the only Iraqi on the team, Mr. X is likely the key to some of the more sensitive, and potentially controversial, allegations being reported. Doesn't his anonymity raise a serious credibility issue? Paging Howard Kurtz and Fox News Watch!

According the latest comScore research, during August, Instagram had an average of 7.3 million daily active users. Twitter by comparison had an average of 6.9 million daily average users during the same month. Not only that, but comScore found that Instagram users were actually engaging with photos longer than they were doing so with tweets.
The data also shows that the average Instagram user spent 257 minutes on the photo sharing site using mobile devices. The average Twitter user on the other hand spent only 170 minutes viewing content via mobile devices. Perhaps, the most interesting thing about users for both services during the month is that twitter had more smartphone-based visitors during the month than Instagram.
Even though Twitter still has roughly 7 million more unique visitors per month than Instagram, it's worth mentioning that the photo-sharing service is only an app and is not available as a mobile website, and it's only available on two platforms: Android and iOS. Meanwhile, Windows Phone 8 is rumored to be getting Instagram later this year. On the other hand, Twitter is available in some shape or form on every smartphone in the world.
Reportedly, one of the advantages Instagram has over Twitter right now is that it doesn't have ads plastered all over it, which could be a reason why it has such appeal. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has vowed that he won't integrate Instagram directly into Facebook and close off sharing to rival social networks Twitter and Tumblr.

Toward Starlight's End and under project name Project Starlight describes a long-developed science fiction series written by T.C Michael. It describes a dystopian Earth after facing depopulation when space exploration was commercialized and exoplanets were rapidly colonized in a 70-year period from 2015 to 2094 by the use of jump gates (warp gates) and faster-than-light speed equipped starships. The series also takes on themes such as cyberpunk, neo-noir, and elements of space western and dieselpunk combining 1950's through early 1990's retrospect in depicting future elements popularized in classic science fiction lore.
In the year 2094, humans have colonized exoplanets deemed habitable through advanced terraforming. Huge cities are constructed and industrialization efforts are revolutionized, creating a universal-wide economy. On Earth, the planet's population has declined due to the mass exodus following economic ruin and prompts to colonialize space in order to establish a new living system in the early 2020's, and with Earth's meta-cities facing overpopulation, the remaining governments are prompted to build spaceports in order to migrate the populace to other systems. With warp gates operational, planetary colonizers have inhabited nearly half of the galaxy within the 21st century.
Plot summary
Sarah Jane Loveheart and Michael James Stacy are veteran private investigators who operate the Loveheart-Stacy Investigative Services in New York City, before temporarily relocating to Sun City in Arizona, then from aboard their starship The Blackheart. The characters struggle against the lawless outlook between Earth's megacities and the desolate wastelands throughout North America. They are also accompanied by their adopted son and computer hacker Kevin Statham, and their personal assistant and close-friend Anika Kleinschmidt, along with Sarah's brother Kris and a bounty hunter named Lisa O'Conner. Throughout the series, the characters would fight an array of criminal organizations and black operatives, while undertaking a case that involves a recent whistle-blowing against the megacorporation Evecorp and its involvement in illegal black marketing and drug-related operations, while also unraveling a conspiracy behind the company's founder Evelin Bishop as part of a secret organization known as The Roundtable, a group consisting of wealthy elites who operate various criminal operations throughout the galaxy in order to maintain their universal monopolization and manipulate the global powers into total war. The characters would also find themselves performing their services off-world, and explore various parts of the solar system divided by four of the powerful stellar governments from aboard their starship The Blackheart, while exploring independent colonies and other indigenous civilizations throughout the galaxy.
The series is currently being written and outlined by T.C Michael, who also states that the series will act as a tribute aimed at influential popular culture works such as Batman, Star Wars, Bladerunner, and even references to James Bond and anime.

The main and supporting characters were designed specifically by T.C himself originating from his personal tastes, qualities and even from his personality. Sarah Jane Loveheart was envisioned by T.C as his model example and also imaging from his influences from popular culture to personal tastes. Sarah's partner Michael James Stacy from personality to appearance is heavily based on T.C himself. Other characters simply reflects off from T.C's personal nostalgic influences in terms of appearance, personality, and clothing apparel.
The series primary focus is between Sarah and Michael. The two work as private investigators and also show their struggle coping with Earth's war-torn and civil disorder. Sarah and Mike keep a strong sense of justice and moral values that have been near-to-impossibly feasible in a time of life's wonders.
Main article: Cultural references in Toward Starlight's End
The series was drafted by T.C since 2009, and is still a work-in-progress as of 2016. This series would represent a powerful and complex imagination by T.C, who has been influenced by a majority of popular culture and especially relating to retro-futurism. Toward Starlight's End takes shape and influences from science fiction authors such as William Gibson and Phillip K Dick, and cinematic influences from Ridley Scott, George Lucas, Tim Burton, George Miller, and Irvin Kershner. In contrast, Toward Starlight's End is heavily inspired by popular titles such as Sprawl Trilogy, Blade Runner, Akira, Cowboy Bebop, Mad Max, and Firefly. Additional influences draw from Batman and 1940s film noir for it's dark and gritty atmosphere.
Possible anime/manga series
T.C has expressed interest in creating a manga based comic partially based on seinen(young adult)style, and will likely be rated +18 (R rating) for graphic content.

I was just asked if I could ship cake pops to another state. I am thinking that cake pops would not ship well but maybe cake balls would but I have no idea how to package them. Anyone ever do this?
I just did this for my MIL so I probably went overboard with packing. First I got candy boxes so I didn't put too many in a box together. Lined the bottom with paper towels and thin foam. Put the cakeballs in cupcake liners and put them in snugly. Then topped with more paper towels and foam so they didn't shake at all. Then I put the boxes (4 total) in a larger box completely surrounded with foam and the air pockets that come in deliveries. The final box was probably 4x as big as the original but they got there safe and sound. Thank goodness she was paying the shipping!
I did cake balls from MO to PA (in the fall/winter) when it was cool. Put the cake balls in the little paper liners (like mini cupcake liners) and placed them down inside egg cartons. Then placed parchment paper over the top before closing carton. They shipped perfectly.
I have shipped cake pops, by prority mail I wrapped them in bubble wrap put them in a box and bubblewrapped that as well and then into the priorty box they arrived in great condition

I love the site and you guys do a great job. I had a couple of ideas to run by you if that's alright. The first is retroarch. It's becoming huge with desktop and Raspberry Pi users and I personally enjoy using it. Their cht format is confusing and a real pain to type up manually. I was hoping you might be able to add retroarch to the list of exportable formats. I know they have a github for it, but a cht file that only has "unlimited lives" just isn't fun. Being able to select whatever Code I want and then saving the file would be fantastic.
I also wish there was a way to search through all games on the site by code title. For instance, I might want to search for "Hit Anywhere" and see every game that has such a code. That's all I wanted to say. I appreciate all you guys do for the community. Thanks.

Modern Outdoor Furniture and Lounge Chairs
Love It or Hate It? CB2 Tie-1-On Sectional
CB2's new overscaled Tie-1-On sectional is a weather-friendly, water-resistant polyester chair with black nylon straps that allows you to tie two chairs together for a loveseat, sofa, etc. It's basically a bean bag chair for the outdoors with an extra convertible feature. I don't have a backyard pool or lawn to decorate, so it may be a moot point, but I think I'd prefer a cushioned, teak chaise or something of the sort for my imaginary outdoor space. How about you? Do you love this?

AUSTRALIANS Bernard Tomic and Marinko Matosevic have both crashed out of the Thailand Open in second-round matches.
Frenchman Gilles Simon won the 300th match of his career with the 6-4 7-5 win over Tomic, while Matosevic fought all the way before going down 7-6 4-6 6-4 to Canada's third seed, Milos Raonic.
Simon, who flew to Asia immediately after defeating compatriot Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to win the Metz title at the weekend, admitted that he did not know that he was on the cusp of a personal milestone.
"I must be getting older, I want to get to 400 now," joked the 28-year-old, who became the ninth Frenchman in the post-1968 Open era to win at least 300 matches in Tour play.
Raonic needed more than two-and-a-half hours to overcome Matosevic, hitting 21 aces on his way to victory.
In the final set Matosevic saved a slew of break points before Raonic finally broke to earn victory.
"It was a little bit frustrating," Raonic said. "But he played well on a lot of those break points so I can't always blame myself.
The Canadian will on Friday meet Feliciano Lopez a month after beating the sixth seeded Spaniard in the US Open third round.
Russian fifth seed Mikhail Youzhny took victory over Denis Istomin 6-3 6-3 while Taiwan's Lu Yen-Hsun beat Czech eighth seed Lukas Rosol 6-3 6-2.
Simon began with an early break against Tomic, carrying that margin through the opening set, which he won in 43 minutes.
The French player earned the break for 6-5 in the second set as his Australian opponent put a return wide.
Simon closed out victory a game later, following another error from Tomic after 79 minutes.
On Friday, the world number 14 will face Dutchman Igor Sijsling, whom he defeated in their only previous meeting indoors in Metz three years ago.
Simon has now reached the quarter-finals or better nine times this season after winning his 34th match of the season against 20 losses.

Coffee truly is one of the more polarizing drinks in that some will argue that it has a plethora of benefits, while others have decreed that this caffeine fueled beverage has no business being lauded as needing to be consumed daily.
As much as the negative tends to gain steam, the positives have started to gain traction, one could argue perk up, as it relates to why coffee is coming on strong as being the drink that not only gives you that boost of energy but also has a series of benefits that go above and beyond taste.
This morning pick me up helps us all concentrate for sure on the day's work ahead, but what about coffee as a means to help fight disease or even ward off liver issues or cancers.
Recent studies have shown that coffee intake will help your liver as it relates to cancer. As little as one cup her day will help you decrease liver cancer, a study that was done in animals to start but shows some merit in humans as well. On a smaller scale, coffee also helps with inflammation in the same vein as an anti inflammatory pill like Advil would do. Other disease linked to coffee as far as the drink fighting them off is Diabetes (Type 2) or even brain issues such as dementia and Alzheimer's.
Obviously with any sort of cancer, you have to manage your weight accordingly. Coffee helps to burn fat and can give you that kind of energy that is the difference between skipping today's workout or doing at least 30 minutes of cardio every day.

Dublin and Galway is the third quarter final.
The draw for the semis was also made and Kilkenny will make their bow against the winner of Wexford and the Group team.

The other semi-final see local rivals Limerick take on Clare.
As for the football, Munster got us underway.
The traditional big guns Kerry and Cork were kept apart but with Tipp and Kerry getting byes to semi finals we may get a rematch of the 2016 final.
In the quarters, Cork will play Waterford and Limerick will play Clare.
The winner of the first game play Tipp and Limerick or Clare will take on the Kingdom.
In Connacht, Sligo and New York play in the prelim round. The winner of that match must face All-Ireland runners up Mayo in one quarter final.
Leitrim play London in the other quarter final.
The semi finals will see Galway play the winner of Sligo/New York/Mayo while Roscommon will play winners of Leitrim or London.

The other three quarter finals are Derry v Tyrone, Donegal v Antrim and Down v Armagh.
The winner of Derry and Tyrone will face the winner of Donegal v Antrim.
One of Monaghan, Fermanagh and Cavan will play Down or Armagh in the other semi.
And finally Leinster, the province of All Ireland champions Dublin.
The big news is Dublin are on the opposite side of the draw to traditional rivals Meath and Kildare but they are pitched in with last year's Leinster finalist's Westmeath.
Side A see Louth v Wicklow, with the winner facing Meath and Laois v Longford with the winner facing Kildare.
Side B sees Carlow against Wexford with the winner facing the Dubs.
Offaly play Westmeath in the other quarter final.

OpenOffice.org has responded to Microsoft's decision to place a demonstration of Office 2007 on the Web for people to try. OpenOffice.org is now telling users that they can test drive their Office Suite as well, but unlike Microsoft you can use OpenOffice.org for free as long as you like:
The OpenOffice.org Community invite you to go one better – download real OpenOffice.org 2 software today for a test drive. If you like it, use it free for as long as you like. We say it's the ultimate no-strings-attached test drive – if you enjoy the test drive, keep the car!
OpenOffice.org has been trying to make as many stabs at Microsoft Office 2007 as they can. Who will prove successful in the race for the most used Office Suite? I guess we will see if Microsoft can win over the hearts of people around the world with their new and more intuitive interface.

Here's The Weeknd's new video with Drake for 'The Zone'
The blitz of new material from The Weeknd before next week's official release of "Trilogy" continues. Today we get a new video for the "The Zone," which was from "Thursday," the second of three mixtapes compiled on "Trilogy." The track features a rap verse from fellow Toronto R&B man Drake, and he shows up in the video as well.
The video was directed by Abel Tesfaye himself, and is actually pretty cinematic. It's more involved than his recent ponderous clip for "Rolling Stone," all colored lights, balloons and projections of female sexuality. "Trilogy" is out 11/13.

5 Dating Tips from a Vegan Dating Expert
Dating can be discouraging, but following these five tips will inspire you, build your confidence, and get you ready for the vegan lover of your dreams.
Five years ago, I started Veg Speed Date in San Francisco after many friends complained to me about a lack of single cruelty-free men. After several successful matches, I decided to expand my events across the United States and Canada, and today we have more than 40 events planned and are adding more all the time! So, needless to say, I'm something of a vegan dating expert. And with Valentine's Day approaching, I've decided to share some of what I've learned about vegan dating to ensure all you single, plant-based lovers find the person of your dreams.
1. You're awesome, so be confident
You already have convictions, passion, and a heart of gold for caring about animals, the planet, and humanity. And because of these traits, you also have confidence, which shines through each time you oppose cruelty and choose compassion! It takes strong character—someone who really knows who they are—to take a stand and live their true life, so don't forget to approach a potential mate with your chin up and your chest high. Also, don't forget that confidence can lead you to a passionate love life with someone with whom you can share your love of vegan food and cute animal videos.
2. Find your veg Valentine
Navigating the dating world as a vegan can be difficult, and there are times when you might feel discouraged. In fact, right now you might be asking yourself, "Where are the sexy single vegans?" The good news is that you don't have to give up, because everyday more are choosing a vegan diet. Veganism is growing and on-trend, so chances are that you will find your veg love match! But where to find these awesome single vegans? Why not volunteer with your local animal rescue, join a vegan Meetup group, or search for "vegan" on dating sites.
3. Sweet date ideas
So you've made a connection with someone who understands your love of nutritional yeast and gets why you care so much about the animals? Great! Now it's time to plan a date. Since you just met each other, you might want to start off by focusing on shared interests. Is there a new vegan restaurant in town that you've both been dying to try? Do you have a favorite spot that you want to bring your date to? Here's your chance to get to know each other better over a delicious meal. Finish the night off with drinks and live music (maybe even dancing!) at your favorite bar. Are you more of an active vegan? Then try bonding with your date over a fun physical activity! Are they competitive or a team player? Do they look good in yoga pants? If you fall down, will they help pull you up? Find out by going on an action-packed date, such as rock-climbing, miniature golfing, bowling, or hiking. For nature lovers, pack a picnic and explore the soil with your plus one. Whether you live in a big city or small town, check out a local park, hiking trail, forest, field, waterfront, or animal sanctuary!
4. What to wear
Cruelty-free fashion has never looked so good, which means there's never been a better time to go through your closet, drop by your local vegan boutique, or order from your favorite online shop. If you want to keep it cool with that perfect mix of casual and polished, try placing a motorcycle jacket or blazer over a cute printed T-shirt. My suggestions include a tee from Herbivore Clothing, a jacket from Brave GentleMan, and footwear from MooShoes or Nice Shoes. For those who want to dress it up, pair a jacket with a cute pair of heels or boots from MooShoes and accessorize with a Matt & Nat bag.
5. Gift ideas
Gift giving should be cute, fun, and easy, and because you've just met your new veg connection, you don't want to stress over the perfect gift or spend too much money. Instead, give a sweet little gift that will put a sparkle in their eye without breaking your bank. Feeling creative? Make your date a Valentine's-themed card. Come up with cute phrases such as "you're the vegan frosting to my gluten-free cupcake," and then get out the construction paper, glue, and glitter! Are you more of a traditionalist? Then buy dark chocolate, as it's not only delicious but also reduces blood pressure. If you're wanting to tug at your date's heartstrings even more, consider making a donation in their name to a charity. Sponsor an animal in his or her name at Farm Sanctuary, support organizations such as The Humane League, or another great nonprofit group.
Karine Brighten is the founder of Veg Speed Date and has operated successful speed dating events to help bring veg singles together.

A New Take on Manny being Manny
[1] [2] I had the privilege of watching the Indians and Red Sox Tuesday night at the Jake. I will never call it "Progressive Field". I had excellent seats on the 3rd baseline right next to the foul pole. I never intended to do much except visit with my brother - in - law and eat as many hot dogs as I could since it was "dollar dog" night. I ate six with no problem, but the other two were frozen by the time I was done with the first six. Yes! It was cold! The first couple of innings I was intrigued with watching Manny Ramirez. Our seats were only about 20 yards away from him. He would take his glove off and play with it, or hold it with his right hand. He would pull out a bag of seeds and fill his mouth. While he is doing all of this, the game was in motion. The pitcher was in his wind-up and so on. I always believed that Manny was a terrible, lazy fielder, but even though it seemed like he could care less what was going on, he never missed a play. He made everything look so easy from fielding ground balls, to catching hard shots into the gap. His cut-off throws and one throw directly to 2ND base were precisely accurate and effortless. The game got into the later innings and Manny would look around and smile, watch the scoreboard. A few fans dropped their signs over the wall and Manny walked over and picked them up and threw them back to the fans. Ryan Garko was injured and most players were chatting with each other, but Manny was down on one knee and clapped as Garko made his way to first. He was constantly heckled throughout the game and never acknowledged anyone, but would occasionally smile and look at some fans. At one point during the 9Th inning, I leaned over as he went to retrieve the ball that got away from him while they were warming up and said, "Manny, I respect your game and the way you just have fun." He looked up and pounded his fist against his heart and pointed at me. It was great to see a superstar playing and just having a lot of fun. That is Manny being Manny!!!
