No. It is a unit of distance.

I thought that since a LY = d/t
One unit of distance. If calling it a lightyear is confusing call it a meeblewarp. One meeblewarp, the distance light travels in one year.

Your Turn — Sept. 7, 2013
Updated 5:27 pm, Friday, September 6, 2013
Johnny-free zone
Would you consider offering an edition of the Express-News that is 100 percent Manziel-free?
We have foods that are salt-free, fat-free and gluten-free, all in response to an increase in public health awareness. I think there is a growing segment of your subscribers who would appreciate opening their morning paper and not finding a reference to Johnny Football on the front page, not to mention a special section ("Johnny on the run," Sports, Aug. 25) with Manziel all over that front page.
Don Hill
Football vs. books
Thank you, Bob Krueger, for your excellent comment ("Johnny football reveals our college priorities," Opinion, August 25).
Although I am an ardent sports fan myself, I am still appalled at the way we have let our sports priorities override educational needs.
We can enjoy both academic achievement as well as athletics without one hurting the other.
Leonard Denney, New Braunfels
Picture IDs
Re: "Right to vote," Your Turn, Sept. 1:
Does Mr. Gutierrez realize that I have to show a picture ID to write a check at the supermarket?
Does Mr. Gutierrez realize that the first thing that they ask me for when I donate blood is a picture ID?
It is only reasonable to have the same safeguards in voting to ensure the integrity of our democratic process.
While Mr. Gutierrez makes strong accusations against people with my point of view, I have to wonder about his motives.
Terry Read, Kirby
Re: "Local panel set to fight state agency," Metro, Aug. 22:
As a taxpayer and voter, I was pleased to see County Judge Nelson Wolff comment on the amount of taxpayer money spent on attorney fees for the resolution of real or imagined problems in the local and state operation of the Texas Workforce Commission. He correctly pointed out, "We should be ashamed."
I look forward to similar comments on the more than $250 million that will be spent on the unneeded and unwanted streetcar system, which will forever obligate taxpayers to pay the almost inevitable funding shortfall for that system.
Cost vs. quality
Re: "Obama to 'shame' colleges on tuition," Nation, Aug. 23; and "In spite of strides, minorities still face racism, Obama says," Nation, Aug. 24:
The president has proposed that the federal government limit the cost of higher education by "shaming" colleges, establishing a "rating system" and ceasing to subsidize schools not producing "good results." No explanation is reported, but it appears that the "rating system" and "good results" relate to cost, without concern for quality.
To limit cost, the government will have to place limits on curriculum, academic standards, size of faculty, faculty compensation, technology, tenure, research and publication. Apparently, those limits will be formulated and imposed by the Department of Education.
With regard to the cost of law schools specifically, the president proposed reducing degree programs from three to two years. How that will be accomplished is not reported, but it seems obvious that reducing required and elective course offerings, and reducing the number of credit hours required to earn a degree will be necessary. Diminishing law school curriculum will likely require diminishing the content of bar examinations.
The president proposed denying federal student aid to colleges that do not control cost as dictated by the government. The practical result of that action will be the nationalization of higher education and the operational control of colleges and law schools by the Department of Education.
Conceding that the cost of higher education is unaffordable to many, and that there is not always a correlation between cost and quality, the effect of addressing only cost by government fiat will be that everyone will be entitled to a cheap education in terms of both cost and quality.
Robert R. Barton. Senior District Judge and former law professor, Kerrville
Judicial circus
Re: "Tears flow at Fort Hood as shattered lives detailed," Front Page, Aug. 27:
The long circus is over, to the dismay of lawyers who have been paid outrageous fees by taxpayers. How about taking care of the killed and wounded as well as Hasan has been?
Ronald Rutherford, McQueeney
Stay out of Syria
It appears the Obama administration is entertaining the thought of entering the conflict in Syria.
I say it would be a no-win situation for the troops involved. As with all typical Middle East conflict lately, we would be heroes for a week and villains forever, especially with the current administration. I have no confidence in Obama, and I feel he is totally incompetent, without the leadership and experience when it comes to foreign policy.
He offered neither a response nor a sense of responsibility regarding the Benghazi attack. Enough said. Does anyone think that Obama or Kerry would accept responsibility if things went south in Syria? No, they would probably blame Bush.
Keep us out of the Middle East. Let them solve their own problems. We would be better off.
William Charest, Cibolo

Co- Written: By Alvin L & Humblepie (BBO Value Investing)
After another record year in 2016, what's next? OCK had successfully venture into Vietnam market, by acquiring Southeast Asia Telecommunication Holding Pte Ltd (SEATH), the largest independent base transceivers station (BTS) owner in Vietnam. SEATH holds 100 per cent of three BTS owners in Vietnam: the VNC-55 Infrastructure JSC, the Mobile Information Service JSC, and the Global Infrastructure Investment JSC. They own and lease 1,938 BTS and over 150 in-building systems (IBS) for mobile network operators in Vietnam. SEATH average net-profit from 2013-2015 is RM7.4 mil, 2017 will be the first full year profit from SEATH.
Another successful strategy that OCK did was entering to Myanmar market, a population of 54mil and an average GDP growth rate of 7%. OCK having a Master Service Agreement with Telenor Myanmar for the construction and lease 920 telecommunication towers. It is believe that OCK will finish all the towers and pass to Telenor Myanmar this year. The deal is in a long-term "build and lease" business model that will deliver OCK rental income for 12 years, according to the agreement. Partnership with Telenor Myanmar is an advantage as the company currently operated the largest 3G network in Myanmar, and serves more than 12 million customers, and covers with its network over 60% of the population. For your information, Myanmar awarded its fourth - and final - telecoms license to Myanmar National Tele& Communication (MNTC). It could increase the tenancy ratio of OCK to build and lease telecommunication towers to the company, as OCK had already established her name in Mynamar.
Telecommunication services still remains as the largest contributions for OCK, so venturing into emerging markets provides tons of opportunities for OCK. In Cambodia, the group's project involving dredging and laying works for 800km of fiber for Telecom Cambodia, is at the tail end. So we won't see much contribution for the group in 2017. On the other hand, Instead of owning its own telecoms towers and competing head-on with the giant tower companies in Indonesia, OCK will participate in the local market by providing the telcos there tower-management services, although the market was attractive. Today, OCK are the largest telecoms-managed services company in Indonesia, commanding 23% of the market by number of towers.
Key Question: Mother Price selling at 0.895 , how much does the warrants worth?
With the Implied Volatality of 29.52%, the Fair Value for OCK-Wa should be at 0.33 which is exactly the current closing price of OC-Wa. The market has priced in the the FV with no arbitrage opportunity. Talk about Efficient Market Hypothesis!
Lately, RHB Research came out with the Target Price of OCK @ RM1.05. So, the golden question would be:
What is the FV for the warrants if OCK is trading at RM1.05?
The OCK- Wa will be worth RM0.46 which is is potential 40% upside from 0.33
Mother price will be gaining 16.6% with the same TP of RM1.05.
P/S: One of the reason on top of the leveraging concept for warrants trading, I am choosing the OCK Wa instead of the mother is because the low/negligible dividend payout. If you know what i means =)

Lacie Heart grew up on a ranch in San Luis Obispo, California and studied ballet as a child.
Heart danced at a Canoga Park strip club's amateur night at age 19 on a whim. While she was there she was recruited and subsequently met with agent Derek Hay of L.A. Direct Models in August of 2005. Her first on-camera appearance was in a scene for Fantasy Wash with Jack Venice who had introduced her into the adult film business. She participated in Jenna Jameson's American Sex Star contest, which she lost. She signed with Vivid in January of 2006 and was with them for nearly a year.
Heart was introduced to fellow performer Scott Nails at a party about a month after she had entered the business. They became a couple soon after. Heart left Vivid after she told them that the only guy she wished to work with on camera was Nails; Vivid already had one actress who did only girl-girl, and they did not care to have Heart signed to work exclusively with one guy.In December 2006, Lacie signed with Digital Playground.
In 2007 she received two AVN Award nominations – Best New Starlet and Best Oral Sex Scene.

He who cannot forgive breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass. ~George Herbert
Forgiveness is setting a prisoner free. The miracle is, once you have forgiven, you discover that the real prisoner who has been freed is yourself, not the person who has hurt you.
It helps if you can identify the part/parts of you that continue to carry the wound. Is it the child part of you that holds on tight to the wounds that you never deserved or an adult part that feels betrayed? Think of all the faces you wear. Here are some examples of what I mean by the faces we wear (or parts) taken from my book Ragdoll Redeemed.

Symmetry as a methodological move, part IV
Is there a difference between hitting a nail with and without a hammer?
This is one of the provocative questions that Latour asks in Reassembling the Social (p.71). The question, of course, is rhetorical: of course there's a difference. Using the hammer remakes—perhaps I should say makes—the activity in a very fundamental way. Perhaps holding a hammer makes every problem look like a nail, but similarly, a nail poses a very different problem when one doesn't have a hammer.
Yet, Latour charges, classical sociology has tended to ignore the hammer and other material objects when it examines human activities. These material objects are often seen as incidental, he says, to what classical sociologists see as their real focus: social constructs, social structures, social contracts, social forces, etc. As Latour argues in his book Aramis, classical sociology sees through actors to the social structure, scrutinized through fixed frames such as norms, reason, logic, and common sense (pp.199-200). It assumes "a stabilized state of affairs, a bundle of ties that, later, may be mobilized to account for some other phenomenon" (Reassembling the Social, p.1). It posits "the existence of a specific sort of phenomenon, variously called 'society,' 'social order,' 'social practice,' social dimension,' or 'social structure'" (p.3). This social "context" "can be used as a specific type of causality" (pp.3-4), i.e., it causes people to act in various ways. So, Latour claims, classical sociology begins with society or social aggregates; sociologists then study the effects of these causes (p.8).
Latour does not necessarily think this is a problem.
In fact, Latour says, classical sociology is like Newtonian physics. In most ordinary cases, when change happens slowly, it's fine to use a fixed frame of reference. When you're trying to determine with what force an object will hit the ground, knowing only the object's mass and rate of acceleration, it's fine to use Newtonian physics (f=ma). And if you're studying fixed social situations, such as traditional craftwork, a fixed-frame approach such as classical sociology is A-OK in Latour's book (literally his book: Reassembling the Social p.12).
But in other cases, we need a relativist frame. If you want to understand why atomic clocks run slower on commercial jetliners than they do at the US Naval Observatory, Newtonian physics will not get you very far; you need a relativist physics. And if you want to study situations in which "things accelerate, innovations proliferate, and entities are multiplied," Latour says, you need a relativist sociology (Reassembling the Social p.12)—one with no fixed frames or metalanguage (Aramis p.200).
In this alternate, relativist view, "'social' is not some glue that could fix everything including what the other glue cannot fix; it is what is glued together by many other types of connectors" (Reassembling the Social, p.5). It's not the cause but the consequence of the assemblage (Reassembling the Social, p.8); the social is what you get when you associate various things. Thus, in this relativist sociology, you can't understand the social until you trace the associations among things (p.5). The things themselves aren't social; what's social is how they are shuffled together (p.64).
Let's try this out with some examples.
Situation 1. Suppose you're visiting a carpenter and his apprentice in their workspace. They're familiar and comfortable with their tools (hammers, saws, miter boards, etc.) and with each other, and they're doing work with which they are very familiar. Their hands are sure and their movements are smooth, as you might expect from experienced people performing familiar tasks. In activity theory's terms, they their work is largely operationalized, habituated to a degree that they hardly have to think about it, leaving them free to talk baseball and politics. In fact, the details and tools of their craftwork may not be nearly as interesting as other things you might be able to investigate in this fixed frame: how they bond through talk, how they represent themselves in topics, how the carpenter retains or fails to retain social dominance over the apprentice.
Situation 2. But now let's suppose we visit a middle-aged college professor. He's at home, working at his kitchen table, surrounded by books and papers. The window is open, letting in a breeze that repeatedly moves the papers. Suddenly he gets up, fetches a hammer from the kitchen counter, and puts it on top of a page.
Now, that's not a completely novel use for a hammer, but it is certainly not what the hammer was designed to do. And this use snaps our attention to what we might stuffily call "the materiality of writing"—a broad set of different things (materials, artifacts, practices, people) that become associated in order for the professor to do his work. Without some of these associations, the work doesn't turn out the same way, or perhaps at all. These different things all contribute somehow. Sometimes it's through direct problem-solving, as in the maps and hoeys that Hutchins describes. Sometimes it's through mediations that make the problem space more tractable, like using a hammer as a paperweight. Any thing might be an actor—"any thing that does modify a state of affairs by making a difference," Latour says (Reassembling the Social p.71). So the operative question is: "does it make a difference in the course of some other agent's action or not?" (p.71).
Or as I asked at the beginning: Is there a difference between hitting a nail with or without a hammer?
When Latour uses symmetry, it's as a methodological move: a move that focuses us on the associations among various humans and nonhumans. And since the associations themselves are the focus, the things they associate fade into the background. It's not that nonhumans become humans or vice versa, it's that these differences in qualities are no longer what we're investigating. Hipsters and horses are different, but those differences don't matter to an elevator or gravity. Professors and papers are different, but that difference isn't the focus of Latour's methodology.
Now let's connect this discussion to something closer to home. Earlier I mentioned the materiality of writing, something I've been studying for the last 15 years. One of my first moves—conducted after reading Hutchins, but before reading Latour—was to begin describing and examining genre ecologies, which are (loosely speaking) associations of text types used in people's work. This move was, like Latour's, a methodological move, meant to help me focus on a specific issue: How people were solving problems by using available texts in their environments. This issue became very important to me during my first set of observations, when I discovered something that (when you think about it) should be blindingly obvious: people don't just read one text at a time. In fact, they string together lots of texts, sometimes surprisingly large gobs of wildly heterogeneous texts, related in very different ways. Some of these are things that we would not normally consider texts at all.
My focus, that is, shifted toward the associations among the genres I saw being used in these observations, which I mapped using basic network diagrams, characterized based on qualitative data (observations, interviews, artifact collection), and compared between participants and observations. Rather than asking "How does this person read and write?" I began asking, "What combinations of texts do people need in order to get work done?" "When and why do people innovate new texts to include in these combinations?" "How do they associate these texts?" "When is one association substituted for another?" "Around which associations do people encounter the most disruptions?"
The construct of the genre ecology helped me get at questions such as these, methodologically, by helping me to focus away from individual expertise, interpretation, cognition, and social forces, and instead focusing on the associations that held these together. At the same time, this methodological move forced me to demand specific evidence for each association.
That's not to say that genre ecologies are symmetrical in the way that Latour's actor-networks are. Genre ecologies model associations among texts, not all kinds of entities, and those associated texts collectively mediate human activity rather than enfolding human beings into the collective activity of a system. That is, genre ecologies are still conceived within a WAGR framework. But methodologically, they constitute a similar move, one that has paid dividends for me (and, I hope, for others in my line of work).
And that's where I want to leave this series. When Latour proposes that we study humans and nonhumans symmetrically, when I propose that we study genres in ecologies, when Newton proposes that force can be considered mass times acceleration for any mass in a fixed frame, these are not all-encompassing propositions. They are deployed only when they make methodological sense. Physicists, I'm assured, don't look at their loved ones and see kilograms (unless, perhaps, when they're worried about the elevator breaking down). Similarly, Latour doesn't talk to doorknobs—unless he needs to apply that methodology to solve a particular kind of problem.

Oh pineapples, how I love you. Whether it's on a plate or in print form, there's no denying that you're pretty darn wonderful. I may be a little late to the pineapple party, but hey, I'm participating to the fullest. Gotta love those ananas comosus, am I right?! Getting to style up this delicious pineapple clutch by Luna on the Moon was one of the best opportunities ever, and since it's arrival it has cemented itself as one of my very favourite bags. It may also help that I have miniature pineapple earrings to wear with it (unusual for this lady as I barely ever wear earrings – ever!)
Wearing the best colour possible – bright yellow, in case you didn't know (!) we headed down to one of my favourite places – the boat sheds. I had visions of amazing light, a wind-free day, you know the sort.. Apparently Wellington doesn't know the sort – so we stuck it out, taking photos as long as we could for an especially windy day. Strangely enough these have turned out to be some of my favourite photos – ever! …Though really, it might just come down to the abundance of pineapples!

Innovative Business Leaders and Health, Fitness and Education Experts Unite With Youth to Help Protect Productivity and Well-Being of Future Workforce
GENYOUth Foundation holds the first Nutrition + Physical Activity Learning Connection Summit to explore connections between nutrition, physical activity and learning among America's youth and announce a youth-driven AdVenture Capital Initiative
Sep 18, 2012, 09:00 ET
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The GENYOUth Foundation is joining National Dairy Council (NDC), the American College of Sports Medicine, the American School Health Association and the National Football League (NFL) to host the "Nutrition + Physical Activity Learning Connection Summit." The conference brings together leaders from the private and public sectors - including athletes, celebrities, respected non-profit organizations and leading iconic American companies - to explore innovative solutions in order to reverse the child health crisis and positively impact academic performance.
One strategy being announced today is the youth-driven AdVenture Capital Initiative, which invites youth to "pitch" a realistic solution to help improve access to nutritious foods such as low-fat and fat-free dairy, whole grains, fruits and vegetables and physical activity at their schools. Students present to a panel of judges, encompassing business, education, health and fitness leaders and will have a chance to receive a grant to make their idea a reality. Ultimately, the program will kick-start lasting student/corporate partnerships that will benefit students and schools today and the American workforce tomorrow.
"We can't accept this paradox of obesity and poor nutrition among youth as the new normal, we must change it. While many are familiar with the long-term health effects poor nutrition and physical activity have on a child, there's also a connection to a child's ability to learn," said Alexis Glick, CEO of GENYOUth. "We're constantly looking for reasons why academic achievement isn't as high as it could be. School breakfast and time for physical activity are often overlooked and underutilized, and we believe these are areas where improvement can be made to help schools across the country."
Health-based solutions in the school setting can be critical not only for children's physical well-being, but also for their academic performance.1 According to "The Learning Connection: The Value of Improving Nutrition and Physical Activity in our Schools," a 2004 report authored by 16th U.S. Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher, nearly half of all young people ages 12 to 21 didn't participate in regular physical activity, and only 2 percent of school-aged children ate the recommended servings from the fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy and protein food groups.1 Now, the CDC notes less than 3 in 10 high school students get at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day.2 This underscores the need for collaboration from the classroom to the boardroom to unlock the right solutions to pave the way for a better tomorrow.
"As industry leaders, it's our responsibility to drive action that's aimed at improving the health and wellness of our children and the quality of their learning environments," said Jose Luis Prado, President of Quaker Foods North America. "Whether we're talking about new technology, new food choices, or new ideas and solutions for providing nourishing options for today's families, we can help provide inspiration and motivation that will yield progress for generations to come."
This challenge comes at a time when school budgets are stretched thin and every minute of the school day is accounted for and used. Nevertheless, GENYOUth believes the solution must begin in schools, because students often consume up to 50% of their daily calories at school,3 and schools present a great opportunity for daily structured and unstructured physical activity. It's why GENYOUth Foundation has turned to some of America's most innovative companies such as Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard (HP) for support and leadership in changing the way we view nutrition, physical activity and academic achievement in our schools. And to ensure all schools have access to these ideas, GENYOUth also works directly with school stakeholders and offers programs to help schools and communities with limited resources and declining budgets improve their facilities.
An example of GENYOUth's commitment to schools is the flagship in-school nutrition and physical activity program, Fuel Up to Play 60. Launched by NDC and the NFL, the program currently has more than 73,000 schools enrolled, with the potential to reach approximately 38 million students nationwide. The program's unique approach for youth, with youth empowers kids to take action, equipping them to create change both personally and within their school environment. As a result, schools across the country are reporting that Fuel Up to Play 60 is an engine for positive change, helping them achieve their wellness goals. GENYOUth will take what's been learned from this partnership between NDC and NFL and use it to tap into the unique expertise forward-thinking companies across America can offer educators, parents and students.
"This is about ensuring that children are empowered to realize their full potential as our future innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders," said Curt Kolcun, Vice President of the U.S. Public Sector at Microsoft, who joined the Summit. "The Summit's exploration of new ways to address the connection between physical activity, nutrition and academic achievement aligns nicely with our commitment at Microsoft to ensure that our technologies and programs are connecting youth with new skills and opportunities in education and life."
The Summit is made possible thanks to sponsorship from Quaker Oats, Microsoft Xbox Kinect and Dole.

Eating disorders are a severe mental illness. They consume individuals, destroy lives, ruin families, rob sanity and ultimately kill. You cannot always see eating disorders. They are insidious, secretive, sneaky, deceitful mental conditions that are often stigmatized, misunderstood, mistreated, shamed, ridiculed, ignored and misaligned. Eating disorders are neither a choice nor a conscious decision – no one would consciously choose such silent suffering. Yet many of those afflicted struggle in silence due to fear, harassment, lack of adequate treatment options and the general belief that their disease is self-inflicted.
We are here to give those suffering in silence, alone, in treatment, seeking treatment, in relapse or recovered a voice and a platform to further the discussion and awareness of this deadly disease. We share stories of struggle and hope, stories of despair and triumph to support those struggling to accept and move beyond their illness. We choose to provide open and honest conversation to open eyes, ears and hearts to what so many are going through. No shame, no stigma, no blame, but rather the right to communicate openly and honestly about this disease. The understanding that everyone suffering needs to be heard, respected, acknowledged and deserves to be treated, given the opportunity to move beyond and live a whole complete life.
Pictures, articles and personal stories as well as support and love are welcome to be shared.

Over your Character Limit? 1 Week to get it Sorted
So the aftermath of our brouhaha yesterday about players who have been (admittedly) taking advantage of having more than 7 characters on an EQ2 account (or more than 12 characters on a Station Access account) has been rather swift and conciliatory.
The good news from SmokeJumper:
We've talked it over further and there is new news on this front:
- We're going to rollback this feature next Tuesday (8/24). You'll be able to access all your characters at that time.
- You'll have seven days to get onto your account and pull items off any characters you desire if you want to shuffle stuff around.
- On Tuesday (8/31), we'll turn the feature back on and all accounts will be limited to the proper number of character slots.
If you ensure that the characters you want to keep are the last ones you have logged in before 8/31, then those are the ones that will be available when the feature is re-implemented.
Again, the feature rollback will be in this coming Tuesday's hotfix (8/24) and you'll have access to all your characters again starting on that day until the following Tuesday (8/31).
Asked why this wasn't responded to sooner, or why such a grace period was not offered earlier:
Well…to be honest, I admit we made a mistake here. In hind sight, it's kind of a "no duh" thing to do. Our only excuse is that we've been very busy, yet that's a pretty lame excuse. But we're making good as rapidly as possible.

I remember there being rewards a long time ago of extra character slots. I figured i wrapped up a few myself. I could be mistaking or dreaming though… Me being a station access subscriber, i figured i had the base 12 plus a additional few. I'm glad i never used them lol. I only have 10 toons.
Green Armadillo
Not counting things that were discovered on Test, this update has had what, two really major changes (character slots and exp bonus changes) so far that somehow got overlooked for the notes. I guess the proof will be in what happens next update. On the plus side, hopefully they won't be launching a new payment model again next time out.
That's great news … except for those who don;t have a subscription at the moment and don't want to pay $15 just to rejig their old characters. They should start the timer from when someone logs in.

MUNDELEIN, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--More than 800 operating room nurses marked the kick-off of the 2014 Medline Pink Glove Dance Video Competition today with an exhilarating dance at Medline's 9th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Forum. The forum was held in Chicago in conjunction with the annual Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) Surgical Conference & Expo. The conference is the world's largest gathering of operating room nurses and OR professionals.
Click to Tweet: The Medline Pink Glove Dance video competition begins today! Help create hope for a #breastcancer cure at pinkglovedance.com
The Medline Pink Glove Dance is the only campaign to unite nearly 200,000 healthcare professionals, patients and communities to celebrate hope for a cure and honor those affected by the disease – all through the joy of dancing. To date, the Medline Pink Glove Dance competition has raised nearly $2.5 million for breast cancer prevention and free mammograms for women in need through the National Breast Cancer Foundation and other charitable organizations across the country.
Breast cancer survivor, former CNN news anchor and award-winning journalist Zoraida Sambolin danced side-by-side with the nurses and shared her personal breast cancer journey in the keynote presentation. She also discussed the profound impact nurses had on her recovery.
"I underwent my surgery and treatment at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago and the nurses there greeted me with open arms and big bear hugs… and that was exceptional," said Sambolin. "One of the prep nurses held my hand, stroked my hair and made me feel loved – and I didn't even know her before that day."
This is the fourth year of the Medline Pink Glove Dance video competition, which includes the United States, Canada and Panama. Separate competitions are also held in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. To register for the competition and for complete rules, go to www.pinkglovedance.com. Results will be announced Oct. 2 with the winning team receiving a $15,000 donation in their name to the breast cancer charity of their choice. Other prizes will also be awarded.
Medline donates nearly $1.5 million to National Breast Cancer Foundation
Also at today's Breast Cancer Awareness Forum, Medline presented the National Breast Cancer Foundation with a check for $200,000 to help fund mammograms and educational services for underserved women. To date, Medline has donated nearly $1.5 million to the NBCF as part of Medline's campaign to promote breast cancer prevention and education. The donation to NBCF is derived from the proceeds from Medline's Generation Pink® exam gloves and other pink products Medline manufactures and sells such as canes, walkers, apparel and other health care items.

"Medline understands a woman's breast cancer detection journey. It can be uncomfortable but it's necessary," said Sue MacInnes, Medline's chief market solutions officer and co-founder of the Medline Pink Glove Dance campaign. "Through the Pink Glove Dance movement and the strength and support of caring clinicians, we want to let those who are impacted by this disease know that they are not alone in this fight."
About Medline's Pink Glove Dance Campaign
Back in 2009, Medline turned everyday exam gloves from green to pink and launched an aggressive breast cancer education campaign to help take the scary out of detection exams and remind nurses about the importance of creating a comfortable, friendly and open dialogue with their patients. A few years later, Medline created the Pink Glove Dance video competition, which to date has brought together nearly 200,000 healthcare professionals, patients and communities to participate in the videos and honor all who have been affected by the disease. More than 20 million YouTube® views later, the Medline Pink Glove Dance competition has inspired more than 1,000 dance videos worldwide and raised nearly $2.5 million for breast cancer prevention and free mammograms for women in need through the National Breast Cancer Foundation and other charitable organizations across the country.
Medline is donating a portion of each sale of the pink gloves to the National Breast Cancer Foundation to help fund mammograms for individuals who cannot afford them.

Good Morning Everyone,
Please help me give a warm welcome to author, Shannon A. Thompson, who has kindly participated in an interview to discuss her writing influences and current work.
I hope you all have a fabulous Friday!
Hi Shannon! How are you? Could you please tell everyone here a little bit about yourself and your work?
Hi, Nicole. I am good – currently, drinking some morning coffee. I am glad to be here, so hello to everyone!
I'm a young-adult author and poet, but I've also had military fiction published. I was 16 when my first novel was printed, and I haven't stopped since. My passion is writing, but I ultimately hope to open an affordable art school where artists can meet professionals in their field.
You write YA and Fantasy stories. Do you think that there is more opportunities to write in this genre, due to its recent growing popularity?
As much as there are more opportunities, there are also more writers competing in these categories, so I think it can go both ways. That being said, if writing young-adult fantasy is your genre, keep at it!
What books/authors have you enjoyed reading over the years?
I love all kinds of books, which is probably why I write in so many genres. Memoirs are my current favorite to read, but I always make time for the young-adult genre. In fact, I'm currently reading a novel by Laurie Halse Anderson, author of "Speak." Some of my favorite authors include Meg Cabot, Lauren Oliver, and Cassandra Clare, but that's only the beginning of an always-growing list.
Is there a particular author and/or character that you would love to join for lunch, one day?
I would love to speak with Meg Cabot. I've always admired her style. She isn't afraid to push the boundaries, especially with female characters. I think that's why two of her paranormal series were my favorite as a teen. (1-800-Where-R-You and The Mediator)
If you could be any one of your characters, who would you choose and why?
That's a difficult question to answer, because the character I choose is in a story that isn't published yet (but might be soon.) I would pick her simply due to the world she is in. It's a fascinating place to discover.
Do you have any new books being released?
I do! Seconds Before Sunrise, book 2 in The Timely Death Trilogy, releases on March 27, 2014. While the first novel, Minutes Before Sunset, focused on what is was like to be a part of the Dark in dire times, the second book will showcase the struggles of being a human in a paranormal world. It will also redefine fate, so expect a lot of action, some struggling romance, and a climax that will change everything.
Where can readers find you?
I have a website where I divulge my writing, editing, and publishing tips. http://shannonathompson.com
But I am also on

During my early days as a blogger (2006-2007), we were still trying to navigate our way around the blogosphere. I had a few blogger friends which included Reyna Elena, Pinoy Ambisyoso, Lukaret, Quotes in Can, Diwatang Byaning, Heyokity, Chuvaness, and Bluepanjeet. We were in search of the gold standard in blogging. What would make or break a blog?
Well, that depends. First, as a blogger, you are in search for traffic. Yes. Traffic. You want people to visit your site and if you're lucky enough, you will find the traffic that your blog needs once you find your niche. In my case, I owe it to the break up of Ruffa Guttierez and her Turkish husband Ylmaz Bektas. People learned about my blog when that scandal hit the blogosphere. Then came the rise and fall of the infamous Chika Time blog and the Brian Gorrell slash DJ Montano scamming issue. Those were the golden days for traffic on my blog. From a personal blog, my blog turned into a celebrity blog because of these scandals.
Then, there is one other factor that was highly-coveted by bloggers all over the world. It's called a PageRank. If you don't know what a PageRank is, you can read more about it here.
The PageRank rating can vary from month to month. It also varies if and when Google decides to change the algorithm used to rank your blog. You can have a PR 3 on a good month and a PR 0 on a bad month. I've gone up to a PR 5 rating and as low as a PR 0 rating in a span of a few months.
It has been years since I've checked my blog's PageRank. (I used to check it all the time and when I saw that my blog's PageRank rating has been zero for the past three years, I stopped checking.
I had my blog redesigned recently. I thought that the old template was too confusing (although I had more pageviews using the old template than this template) and unappealing at best. Soon after my blog was redesigned and it went live, I checked my sitemeter stats and I found a lot of visits from googlebot. I thought that was kind of strange. Within three days after my new template went live, I decided to check my PageRank rating. Remember, it has been PR 0 for the last three years. To my surprise, my blog is back with a PageRank of 3! I was floored!
I found that if you have a high PageRank and you run Google Adsense on your site, your income from Adsense goes up as well. I don't run Adsense on this blog anymore (it was taken off by Google) but it was still refreshing to see that my ranking has gone back to PR 3. YAY!
I don't know if it matters anymore these days. The days of talking about Google PageRank are over. We don't see many blogs talking about it so it must not make a difference. I was just thrilled to see my blog with a rating again and I thought I'd share it with you guys.
That's all.

David Levicki would've won UFC 2 if it was life-or-death. He could've just used the neck breaking technique he learned in the Special Forces and kill everyone in the tournament, Royce Gracie included. Let's see how Gracie jiu-jitsu teaches you to handle attacks to the neck.
I'm tired of how the Gracie mafia isn't willing to fight any of the good PKers*. Emin Bozetepe offered to fight the Gracies, but they've chosen to run away and evade the confrontation. All they did in response to Bozetepe's challenge was offer him a chance to fight Royce in UFC 5. BOZETEPE HAS SPECIFICALLY STATED IN THE PAST THAT HE IS NOT WILLING TO FIGHT IN THAT VENUE. IF THE GRACIES REALLY WANTED TO ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE, THEN WHY DID THEY ONLY OFFER TO FIGHT HIM IN AN ARENA IN WHICH HE DOES NOT WANT TO STEP INTO. Bozetepe has nothing to prove by fighting on TV. Fighting on television is something only people with egos need to do.

The irony of this thread is that nobody is discounting the boxer's skillset the way Atomic Poet is with his "derr herr, this blue belt had no business losing to this world class boxer" nonsense.
We're supposed to be the MMA nutriders, right? But I would never make such a silly assumption.

Yes, there are indeed safety parameters in "the street": "the law".
The law is what (usually) prevents two grown men from murdering each other in "da street", much like the MMA ruleset prevents two grown men from murdering each other in the ring.
But, "the law" is not a tangible thing. It's not "real". Neither is the MMA ruleset. So there are of course law/rule breakers in both MMA and "da street".
When they decide to break that rule, yep anything goes. In the ring, it can get you disqualified. In "the street" in New Jersey, it can be 30 days to 10 years in a state prison. So you tell me just how much better learning to "street fight" without rules versus MMA and other arts which teach both aggression as well as self control.
A skilled judoka could easily kill a man in "the street" by throwing his head into the curb with no other training whatsoever. So, randori is a fine "recreation" of "da street" as well, where one good throw can mean victory.
And what makes you think an MMA fighter or judoka or boxer or even Chunner (lord have mercy) couldn't put their knee through your spine in a street fight when the ref and physical ring are not there? Is that something that requires special training or something?

Why the Hell don't the Gracies invite Holyfield to the UFC? They're obviously making millions from pay-per-views buys, instructional video cassettes, and t-shirt sales. If they wanted, they could bring in someone much better than that bum Jimmerson. I guess after Gerard Gordeau gave him all that trouble in the finals of the first UFC (It took Gracie almost a minute to take him down), the Gracie mafia became leery of bringing in someone who can really hit. Let's see Royce try to fight Bert Cooper, Razor Ruddock, or Michael Bentt. Good luck trying to Gracie Tackle someone who can stop you with one punch. Maybe Bentt can enter the next tournament and throw the UFC belt in the pile with his WBO belt and complete his collection of worthless titles.

Tony Ward: Fans have the right to feel conned
DESPITE their defeat to Munster on Saturday, Ulster's superb start to the season should surprise nobody. Much like the other provinces, the game in the north is built upon a very solid schools foundation and an ever-developing underage youth rugby structure too. It is far from perfect but with growing interest and the game extending ever further into Catholic schools, the future in the province is secure.
Because of my involvement with three different clubs – Garryowen, St Mary's and Greystones – there was barely a rugby ground in the nine counties that I didn't visit and, while some games may have been 'friendlies', there was always great tradition and prestige attached.
Playing Ulster at Ravenhill was a mighty ask. The supporters were passionate and vociferous and they had some outstanding players in some great teams. They enjoyed unprecedented success, with the Jimmy Davidson period in the 1980s perhaps the most successful and memorable to date.
Jimmy D had a 'Club Ulster' vision way ahead of his time and in players of the calibre of Philip Rainey, Trevor Ringland, Davy Irwin, Keith Crossan, Jimmy McCoy, Johnny McDonald, Willie Anderson, Willie Duncan, Nigel Carr, Philip Matthews, Stevie Smith and Davy Morrow had international class material with which to work.
There were great teams before, coinciding with the Mike Gibson and Jack Kyle eras, but factoring in victory over the all-conquering Grand Slam-winning Wallabies in '84, the Davidson dynasty takes some beating.
At least that is until now. On Saturday in Limerick a game was lost and a record fell. The background to that defeat is worth highlighting, for in the first half of the season what Mark Anscombe and Ulster achieved in winning 11 straight games was phenomenal and I'm not sure it has got the recognition it deserves.
Before the home and away fixtures of the Celtic League, an inter-provincial Grand Slam involved beating the other three provinces in the one season.
With professionalism and the Celtic League came home and away fixtures, thereby making six wins from six the perfect inter-provincial Grand Slam target.
But Team Ulster this season has gone so much further than that in creating a record that will be difficult to beat.
Bear in mind that those 11 straight wins included victories over all four Welsh regions on Welsh soil, plus the Italian two in Italy.
It means that from now to the Rabo Direct Pro12 play-offs they have to travel outside Ireland (to Glasgow and Edinburgh) just twice with six of their 10 remaining games at fortress Ravenhill.
All of which makes the background to last Saturday's defeat so much more disappointing. In effect, the IRFU player management policy (which applies to Munster and Leinster too) forced Anscombe's hand.
Even allowing for forthcoming Heineken Cup Rounds 5 and 6, I will take some convincing that the Ulster mentor would not have picked from a full hand and fielded a different starting 15 entirely were the national squad players available.
Of course, grabbing game-time for kids can be productive in its own right but those fans (from both sides of the border) who turned up on a horrendous December evening in Thomond were badly short-changed.
I think I speak for most when I cite the derby aspect as the most enticing element to Pro12 rugby.
I'm not sure quite how long the public will continue to support these hitherto appealing festive derbies. Certainly in Limerick on Saturday there was a feeling of being conned. What could have been a great contest and great occasion, irrespective of the weather, turned into predictable one-way fare.
Not, mind you, that Munster played particularly well, but certainly they did enough to win against a scratch, hugely inexperienced Ulster side. And if that (from the time the teams were announced on Friday) is not seen as conning the public (who would in most cases have bought their tickets long before), then I don't know what is.
I was in Belfast and Limerick, and though just eight days apart, they were different games in terms of intensity and competitive appeal.
Joe Schmidt may be struggling to retain the Heineken Cup but in terms of strength-in-depth at this point in time, Leinster still appear much further down that road than the rest.
That, however, is not the issue; the issue is about fielding the best 15 for a match and an inter-provincial series that should still matter to Irish rugby. However, much like the club game, I fear we have lost our way with the goalposts having shifted gradually and irreparably.
One thing's for sure – any hint of a repeat and fans will very soon be voting with their feet.
