Spincos Fission 3.0 and Alpha Exploration debut on TSXV, Fission Uranium plans most aggressive campaign ever
Never mind Fission 3.0's FUU ticker. When Fission Uranium TSXV:FCU was created out of Fission Energy earlier this year, only a last-minute change prevented that spinco from becoming FUC. And now that Alpha Minerals has delisted to create its spinco, Alpha Exploration TSXV:AEX, two new companies join the Venture while Patterson Lake South comes under the sole ownership of Fission Uranium, a particularly tempting takeover target.
Fission 3.0 debuted December 10 at $0.12 and quickly shot up to $0.30 before plunging to a $0.135 close. The stock finished December 13 at $0.16. With 152.96 million shares outstanding, Mach III had a $24.47-million market cap.
Alpha Exploration began trading December 12 at $0.45 and reached a daily high of $0.63. But it fell all the way to a $0.30 close. The following day's finish dropped a penny lower. AEX's 13.96 million shares represented a market cap of $4.05 million.
Each spinco got $3 million in start-up money from Fission Uranium. Alpha Minerals nominees Warren Stanyer and Kurt Bordian joined Fission Uranium's board, replacing Frank Estergaard and Jeremy Ross who moved to Fission 3.0 along with Dev Randhawa and Ross McElroy, who lead both Fissions. Alpha Exploration's management and board remains "substantially the same" as that of Alpha Minerals.
Meanwhile the PLS role played by father/son team Ben and Garrett Ainsworth (ex-Alpha Minerals now Alpha Ex) have won them the 2013 Colin Spence Award for excellence in global mineral exploration, the Association for Mineral Exploration British Columbia announced on December 12.
Fission 3.0 keeps its predecessor's uranium focus with six Athabasca Basin-area projects and another in the Macusani region of Peru. Alpha Exploration lists its initial key assets as two gold projects, Mikwam in Ontario and Donna in B.C., as well as Saskatchewan uranium properties.
The spin-outs have hardly diminished Fission Uranium's attraction, a $12.87-million financing suggests. Announced December 11, the company's 8.58 million $1.50 subscription receipts have been exchanged for one flow-through share each, a transaction that closed after the Alpha Minerals acquisition.
Evidently emboldened by all that dough, McElroy announced Fission Uranium's "most aggressive drill program to date at PLS—approximately 30,000 metres in up to 100 drill holes," the news release quoted him. "Our core focus will be growth, including the specific goal of eliminating the distance between the six identified zones. We will also be testing new targets, using radon sampling on other EM conductors and employing resistivity ground geophysics to help identify additional prospective corridors."
With assays still pending for over 50 holes, Fission Uranium might be accused of teasing investors prior to a first resource.
Late December 13 the company announced it granted a consultant one million options at $1.10 for two years.
Lakeland Resources bolsters team with Canon Bryan and Sam Wong
Two more appointments add to a busy period of announcements from Lakeland Resources TSXV:LK. On December 9 mining financial professional Canon Bryan joined Lakeland's advisory board. Two days later another mining specialist, Sam Wong, took the position of chief financial officer.
With Bryan's appointment Lakeland not only gains additional expertise but renews a relationship that's already proved successful. Bryan's resume lists management positions for several public and private companies including Uranium Energy Corp NYSE MKT:UEC, which Bryan co-founded. He also founded Terrestrial Energy Inc, which is developing a commercial molten salt reactor, and operates a merger-and-acquisition consulting service for the uranium sector.
Now he's working again with people who've benefited from his past accomplishments. Lakeland director Ryan Fletcher recalls the genesis for what's now NioCorp Developments TSXV:NB. "Canon came to us [Zimtu Capital Corp TSXV:ZC] with the idea to go to Nebraska and acquire a niobium project," Fletcher says. "It was a great project, although difficult because we had to acquire it from 40 farmers. It took quite a while and a bit of money but we were successful."
I co-founded [Uranium Energy Corp] with three other folks and took it through the hoops. It's now listed on the New York Stock Exchange and producing uranium in Texas.—Lakeland Resources
adviser Canon Bryan
Known as Elk Creek, NioCorp calls it "the only primary niobium deposit in the U.S., and… the highest-grade, large-tonnage undeveloped deposit in North America."
Bryan says, "I found the project and Zimtu was able to facilitate funding, so it was a good collaboration and profitable for everyone."
With Uranium Energy Corp, "I co-founded the company with three other folks and took it through the hoops," Bryan adds. "It's now listed on the New York Stock Exchange and producing uranium in Texas. Producing uranium in the U.S. is quite a rare thing. It's something I'm personally quite proud of."
He says working with Lakeland renews "a collaboration that's never really gone away. We're colleagues in the industry. We agreed it would be a good fit for everybody, very much an organic fit."
He joins three other well-respected names on Lakeland's advisory board, all with complementary fields of expertise—John Gingerich, Richard Kusmirski and Thomas Drolet.
"Uranium M&A is my area of expertise," Bryan says. "So naturally that's something I would like to bring to the table."
Wong, Lakeland's new CFO, holds the same position at Lowell Copper TSXV:JDL and Chesapeake Gold TSXV:CKG. He's also served as corporate controller at Luna Gold TSX:LGC, where he oversaw the finance division during Luna's transition from development to commercial production. Wong articled as a chartered accountant at Deloitte & Touche LLP, where he specialized in assurance and advisory for mining companies.
In a statement accompanying the December 11 announcement, Lakeland president/CEO Jonathan Armes said Wong brings "strength in financial reporting, strategic planning, corporate governance, equity financings, due diligence for acquisitions and corporate development to our growing team. His attention to detail and in running a tight ship will be another strong asset for Lakeland as we advance as an up-and-coming leader in the Athabasca Basin."
The appointments follow a flurry of recent news from the uranium explorer, which includes a joint venture with Declan Resources TSXV:LAN that expands Lakeland's upcoming Gibbon's Creek drill program, another JV with Star Minerals Group TSXV:SUV that increases Lakeland's portfolio and the publication of a research report by Zimtu research and communications officer Derek Hamill.
Meanwhile results are pending from last season's exploration on the Riou Lake/Gibbon's Creek property in the north-central Basin.

Forum completes ground gravity survey, plans ground EM at Clearwater
A December 11 announcement moves Forum Uranium TSXV:FDC closer to drilling its Clearwater project. With a ground gravity survey finished, around 11 drill targets have been chosen. The survey followed up on previously identified electromagnetic conductors and radon anomalies to find four gravity lows, three of which held several conductors. An early January ground EM survey will further refine targets for drilling that's expected to start later that month.
In late November Forum released lake sediment samples from the southern area of the 9,910-hectare property. Clearwater lies adjacently southwest of, and on trend with, PLS.

|Falco (1)
The birds (Falco tinnunculus) is our most common diurnal bird of prey, and is often seen hovering over farmland and at the sides of motorways (5). With its long tail and narrow wings, it is easy to distinguish from most other species (2). The sexes are distinct; in males the rump and tail are bluish grey and unbarred, whereas in females they are brownish-red with dark barring (2). Furthermore, the head is grey in males and brown in females (2). Juveniles are similar to females, but are usually more yellowish-brown (2). The call is a high-pitched 'kee-kee-kee' (2).
The kestrel feeds largely on small mammals, especially the short-tailed vole, and small birds such as house sparrows (5). Invertebrates are also very important components of the diet; earthworms taken from cereal fields are particularly important during winter (7). Kestrels hunt by sight, and when hovering they are able to remain still even in strong winds. Upon spotting their quarry, they plunge to the ground, seizing the prey with their talons (8).
Kestrels nest in holes in trees, old buildings or in the abandoned nests of other birds, especially crows (2). From mid-April, between four and five eggs are laid; these are incubated largely by the female for up to 29 days. In their first few days of life, the young are fed by the female on food brought to the nest by the male. Both parents then take on the hunting duties, until the young fledge after 27 to 39 days (5).
Common and widely distributed throughout Britain (5). The birds has a wide distribution in the rest of the world, from Europe and North Africa, through Eurasia, the Middle East, India, China and Japan (5).
The kestrel exploits a broad range of habitats, including farmland, heaths, moors, parks, woodland edges and even city centres (5), but when feeding requires short grass or other low vegetation (6).
Like many wild birds, the kestrel suffered as a result of the use of organochloride pesticides. The population declined rapidly during the 1970s, possibly as a result of agricultural intensification, habitat loss and a decline in populations of small mammal prey (3). Although the population seems to have remained stable during the last 15 years or so, there is some evidence that a further decline has occurred since 1994 (3).
The kestrel should benefit from agri-environment measures aimed at improving farmland habitats for wildlife. Prescriptions such as unsprayed field margins and leaving stubble fields unploughed during the winter should increase the populations of small mammals and birds on which kestrels feed. Set-aside fields also provide good habitats for mice and voles (6).

With 24 hour service and the ease of free car shipping estimates, we're the preferred choice for domestic auto transportation. We recognize that trusting others with a new vehicle or valuable classic car isn't easy. It's why we go the extra mile to ensure all of our vehicle transport carriers are fully licensed and insured, and that they meet our five-star rating criteria. Your vehicle will always be treated with the care you'd give it yourself.
Using a broker will eliminate the frustration of trying to locate a car hauler on your own. Car haulers do not typically advertise, so it's difficult to locate a phone number or website for them and once you do, you have no idea if that particular carrier travels to the region of the country where you are needing your vehicle transported. Likewise, their profession is the safe transport of vehicles across the country. They don't have the resources or the time to answer online queries or telephone calls with quote request. This is why auto transport car carriers will join networks such as ours where they can get online and quickly view available vehicles along their route and quickly contact the broker for further information. The responsibility of the broker is to make the information available to the carriers as quickly as possible, respond to their calls, verify all the information needed to pick up the vehicle and make arrangements so that they simply need to concentrate on what they do best. All brokers charge a broker fee and the rates vary depending on the complexity of the move, the type of vehicle(s), the type of auto transport (open/enclosed), the value of the vehicle, the time of year, the weather conditions and many other factors. We work hard to make this processes as simple and seamless for the consumer.
Nations Auto Transport proudly maintains a 5-Star customer satisfaction rating on TransportReviews.com. Our satisfied customers are quick to provide us with their personal experience testaments, regarding our agent services, great prices, and the upfront and follow up services that we provide throughout the entire transport process.

I lost hope trying to get a car shipped by some other bogus company called Enterprise auto transport under the umbrella of uShip. In a last ditched found effort on Google, I found Nations Auto Transport, LLC and reluctantly sent a request. Within a Minute, Mrs Hope contacted me and was ready to have the car picked up. But the uShip gal blocked the shipment and responded with this " I am a broker and I have to broker this deal out. This can take anywhere from 3-7 days. I will call the both the both of you as soon as I have a driver. Cancellation denied" I ran for my medication. After 6 days, I started sending mail and finally got a " Today is my day off. I have been working 60 days non-stop" She eventually release the order. Ms. Sharpe had a driver ready withing minutes. The car was picked up and delivered right away. These folks answer their phones and every mail you send.
Price was very fair. The car was picked up asap! I have used other carriers and had to wait 2 weeks before they picked up the car. Mark also had very good communication. Very pleased!
Great experience, Sue Wright our contact received a pickup within minutes of posting our transport job. Sue was very informative and understanding of all of our questions and handled everything with professionalism and courtesy. Sharon and Paul Erickson of Erickson Trucking were very helpful and took great care of transporting our vehicle to us in Colorado. The entire experience was stress free. Thank you Sue, Sharon and Paul. Great Job. Would not hesitate in using you again for any transporting needs.
After having some trouble getting my '66 Mustang convertible delivered to Key West, I called Sam. He picked up his phone immediately, which is a lot more than I can say for many I've dealt with in the industry. He gave me a fair price and MORE IMPORTANTLY he EXPLAINED the situation so I could better understand why I had been having all the problems with other companies. Many of the people I worked with before Sam were nice enough, but they really had NO CLUE how things really work, so they couldn't have explained things even if they wanted to I will use Sam whenever I need to move a car that I'm not driving myself. Thank you Sam...
I am truly amazed at how simple and smooth Julie made this shipment happen. The price was right, the level of communication was perfect and the vehicle was picked up and delivered exactly on time as communicated with zero problems or issues. This whole process just couldn't have been any better.
I had never shipped a car before and was very worried about "my vette". It arrived safe,sound and without a scratch.my contact person answered my calls and questions quickly. I would definitely use this company again if I needed to ship a vehicle.
I had a fantastic experience shipping my Honda from Los Angeles to NJ. Chris is incredibly responsive to questions and great at keeping you in the loop. Everything he promised was delivered. Steve, the driver, sent me a picture of my car on the carrier and dropped it off when he said he would. Very easy to communicate with. And last but not least, I overpaid my bill by mistake, called the office, and Julie reimbursed me right then and there by cutting a check. Friendly and understanding... and the check came within 3 days. My car arrived in NJ exactly as it left CA. Excellent customer service from beginning to end. I plan on using this exact team again when I (hopefully) move back out to LA! Call them and ask to work with Chris, Steve and Julie!
Joe was great to work with. Driver was also great, cars came in good condition and on time. Great experience overall.
The truck was delivered on time and appeared to be in the same condition as when picked up. The driver was courteous and seemed professional.
I won a vehicle on Ebay from a car dealer in Pennsylvania. I needed to ship it to Oregon. I used the car transport service the seller suggested: Nations. Mike was really friendly and helpful. I would recommend this company to anyone!
I don't do yelp, Facebook or any other of those things. But I will tell you it arrived on time. You were the only company that would ship it with stuff in the back
They were on time picking up my vehicle and delivered it on time safely. The driver called me when he picked it up and called when he got close to my house. I liked all the effort put into my delivery
Julie was great to deal with, very responsive and had my transport scheduled and picked up the same day it was available. Definitely would use again for all my vehicle transport needs. Thank you for everything.
"Julie is the most responsive,efficient, and experienced person in auto transport. We recently needed a vehicle shipped to two different locations by two different carriers on a very time-constrained schedule and she was able to pull together not only the drivers and the transports, but help work creatively on the logistics side. She really gives 110% effort and goes above and beyond to help bring great results. We are pleased to have been introduced to her and look forward to working with her at Nations Auto Transport more in the future!"
When you accept a car shipping quote from Nations Auto Transport, you will have the peace of mind of knowing that our carriers are fully licensed, bonded and insured. Additionally, we only work with dependable, professional and tenured carriers who have proven industry experience. We also carry our own contingent liability insurance to ensure that you're fully covered throughout the delivery process. Our Contingent Liability Policy, underwritten by Evanston Insurance and Lloyds of London, is the gold standard in the car transport industry. Please take this into consideration when you're looking for a car transport service provider. We also carry excess coverage when necessary, while most companies will operate with only the absolute bare minimums. Many transport companies will produce unrealistically low cost estimates. This is often a red flag. "Too-good-to-be-true" offers usually include very little insurance, if any at all, and the carriers may not be properly bonded or licensed.

Welcome to The I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast. We start the podcast off doing a recap of round two of our March Movie Madness tournament. In the news this week Joseph Gordon-Levitt will produce and star in a "Fraggle Rock" Movie. Chris Rock is penning a sequel to "Top Five." South Korea is going to drop copies of "The Interview" into North Korea.
There's a new "Divergent" movie out called "Insurgent." As three thirty something year old males we hated it…well only Sean saw it but Josh and I have no interest in it. Josh is more interested in the next fan fiction story that'll turn into the next mom sex book.
Sean insists that Sean Penn could kick my ass…he's probably right. "The Gunman" is the new Sean Penn movie and it's as Josh called it, a movie. If you're going to the movie for Idris Elba, stay home, he's in it for three movies. Then there is a religious movie called "Do You Believe" that Sean bought. It's not the typical pandering piece of crap that keeps coming out every month. It's an honest movie that is a little convenient, but it's very cool about showing why somebody would have faith.
Our Undisputed Classic is the Robert Redford film "Three Days of the Condor." This movie is a great, smart CIA thriller. It's scary how accurate this movie ended up being. It is about as perfect as a CIA spy thriller can get.

How better to follow up yesterday's series of magnificent Jack Davis illustrations than with another batch - and one that's closely related, at that. Jack illustrated three books in this series (as one commenter mentioned yesterday, the other is on Teddy Roosevelt). I don't have that volume - but I'm very pleased to share these scans from my copy of Davis' "Meet the North American Indians" - enjoy!

Mobile gamemaker King Digital Entertainment Plc, best known for the hit puzzle game Candy Crush Saga, said it planned to raise up to $500 million in an initial public offering.
The Dublin-based company had filed confidentially for an IPO with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in September under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act.
King offers more than 180 games in 14 languages through mobile phones, Facebook and its own website. The company says its games are played more than 1 billion times a day.
Candy Crush Saga, which involves moving candies to make a line of three in the same color, was the top downloaded free app of 2013, and the year's top revenue-grossing app.
The basic games are free, but players need to pay for add-ons or extra lives.
Candy Crush Saga has been downloaded more than 500 million times since its launch in 2012.
JP Morgan, Credit Suisse and BofA Merrill Lynch are among the lead underwriters. (http://link.reuters.com/xax86v)
King plans to list its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "KING".
The amount of money a company says it plans to raise in its first IPO filings is used to calculate registration fees. The final size of the IPO could be different.
(Corrects paragraph 3 to say that King offers more than 180 games, not 150 games)

Wayland Baptist University champions Creation Care initiative
November 17, 2011
PLAINVIEW – For Dr. Herbert Grover, caring for the environment is more than a topic for classroom discussion, it is a way of life. Since joining the Wayland faculty in 2008, Dr. Grover, along with other faculty, staff and administrators, has spirited a campaign to lead Wayland to be more conscientious regarding the environment and conservation of natural resources.
Over the past few years, Wayland has taken steps to reduce its carbon footprint by retrofitting lighting with more energy-efficient units, as well as using energy-efficient construction materials with all new construction, and starting a recycling program. Groups on campus have also started community clean-up projects as well as a community garden that has benefitted Faith in Sharing House, a local charity that supplies food to needy families.
The Wayland administration has included creation care in the school's strategic plan, calling for more conservative use of resources. An environmental science field of study has been added to the curriculum, and other academic schools are working across disciplines to determine how their fields can benefit creation care.
"I think (Creation Care) is obviously pretty important," Grover said. "I don't think it is necessarily an issue that needs to displace all of the other important issues in the world, but I think it needs to receive the same kind of attention."
Part of Wayland's strategic plan calls for a Creation Care Day to be held at the school each year, beginning on the Plainview campus and eventually spreading to the university's external campuses. The special day is to emphasize the importance of caring for the environment and its natural resources. This fall the school planned to hold its first Creation Care Day and get a feel for how the event would be accepted. Led by Dr. Grover, dean of the School of Math and Sciences, Wayland's Creation Care Day, originally scheduled for Nov. 9, turned into an entire week of projects.
"I was very pleased," Grover said. "This was our first shot and it evolved into a week-long event instead of a single day."
Creation Care Week was highlighted by Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, a climatologist who works at Texas Tech University. Her research has been used to help develop state and federal policies. It has been presented before congress and she has been featured by various news organizations including Fox News' "O'Reilly Factor" and the BBC.
Hayhoe spoke at chapel, participated in a question and answer session and offered a brief seminar concerning future projections for West Texas. She pointed to research that shows the climate is definitely changing, resulting in more extreme weather. Hayhoe said much of the change is due to greenhouse gasses that surround the earth. She said the United States produces 30 percent of the world's greenhouse gasses. Yet while the developed countries produce the gasses, it is the undeveloped countries that suffer most from the climate extremes as they are less prepared to deal with the changes.
"This is more important to the mission field than we sometimes recognize," Grover said. "The people who suffer from unwise use of natural resources are usually the poorest people. If we can help people understand the consequences of those actions, their circumstance will improve."
To close out the week, Wayland teamed up with the City of Plainview, Pitch-In Plainview, local 4-H members and Wayland's Students in Free Enterprise to hold an electronics recycling project. SIMS recycling parked a truck on the Wayland campus and community members were encouraged to drop off their old computers and other electronic devices for proper disposal. The group filled 17 large crates that typically average around 400 pounds when full. Grover said they collected somewhere between 3 and 4 tons of electronics.
Other groups also worked at various projects. The WBU Geological Society held its annual Running Water Draw clean-up, picking up trash along the draw that runs through Plainview. The local chapter of the Mathematical Association of America raked leaves as a fundraiser, not only cleaning up people's yards, but collecting the leaves to be used as mulch for the community garden.
While these projects benefitted the community and those involved, creation care can be overwhelming to those who look at the big picture and wonder how their one small action can have any impact on a global scale. Grover said the importance of creation care goes way beyond the impact.
"It basically has to do with your attitude toward the Creator," Grover said. "If we know something we are doing is degrading the quality of creation, what justification do we have for doing it? If there is an alternative that is positive, then do that which is positive."

My father is gearing up to start his first hive of native Japanese bees, Apis cerana japonica.
They are not as prolific in terms of honey production.
I'm very curious to see how this goes. Not many of us can say that we have kept a species other than mellifera.

When the weather forecasters predict a winter blast they always remind us of the three P's – Pipes, Plants, and Pets. Don't be fooled by their fur coat, your pets are still bothered just as much as you are when the temperature drops. Here are a few guidelines to help protect your pets when the weather gets rough.
Keep them inside – When pets are allowed to wander during winter, they run into certain dangers. They can become lost or stolen, injured, killed or freeze. Stray pets are exposed to infectious diseases, like rabies, from other pets and wildlife.
Check under the hood – In the cold weather, outdoor cats sometimes find warmth under the hoods of cars. Cats can become injured or killed by the fan belt or fan blade when the motor is started, so bang loudly on the hood of your car before starting the engine to give the cat a chance to escape.
Poison puddles –Antifreeze is a lethal poison for dogs and cats. If there are any spills from your vehicle, be sure to thoroughly clean them up.
The leash is law – Dogs can lose their scent and easily become lost during snowstorms. More dogs are lost during the winter than during any other season, so make certain that your pup is properly identified either by microchip, ID tag or some other form of identification.
Wipe off winter – When your pets come in from the sleet, snow or ice, thoroughly wipe off their legs and stomach. When they lick their paws or bite an itch, they can ingest salt, antifreeze or other potentially dangerous chemicals. Their paw pads may also bleed from encrusted snow, salt, or ice.
Saved by scruff – Don't shave your pets down to the skin in the winter. A longer coat will provide more warmth, but if you own a short-haired breed, consider getting a coat or sweater with a high collar or turtleneck with coverage from the base of the tail over the belly to keep them comfortable in the cold.
Home is where the heat is – It is vitally important that your pet has a warm place to sleep during the cold months. A cozy bed with a thick blanket or pillow is perfect. Try to keep them off the floor and away from drafts. If your pet spends a lot of time outdoors, be sure to increase their food supply, especially protein, to keep them in shape – from the inside out.
The cold weather is going to affect pets differently depending on their age, breed and any illness they may be fighting. Exposure to winter's cold air, freezing rain, sleet and snow can be especially dangerous for our pets. Taking extra precautions will help prevent winter hazards from affecting your furry loved ones, and it will help keep you from paying the high price of an unexpected veterinary visit.

Deploy mobile workers with confidence
Protecting the sensitive data that employees and contractors work with has evolved from an IT best practice to a business imperative. And once workers go mobile - whether they're working from home, field offices, or while traveling - it becomes even more difficult to keep data secure. That's the IronKey Basic S1000 USB 3.0 hardware-encrypted flash drives. They give your mobile workforce a convenient, high-performing portable storage solution with room for even the largest data sets. And they give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your data is safe.
Don't let large data files slow you down

QuickBooks is an accounting application which you can install in your computer and access it for your accounting purpose. It is easy to access when you are in your office or in your office premise. But with the day to day busy schedule, you often have to remain out from your office for which you may be unable to access the QuickBooks software. So what if you are on a road trip and want to access the software, you can chose QuickBooks Hosting or Hosted QuickBooks as your option.
If you have to frequently stay out of your office, your employees work out of their home or your offices are located in different locations, you will have to look for options that can help you to remotely access your QuickBooks database. The options that are available are-
Taking the help of remote access tools- There are tools like log me in or go to my pc which can help you to access your computer remotely. All you have to do is to keep your office computer running and log in to it through another computer via internet. This works fine for infrequent access, however it might be pretty slow. Likewise, it implies that you need to leave that office workstation running while you are gone, and that can create various security issues. This works for intermittent gain access by a single client, but do not work when the volume of work is high or have multiple users accessing from different places
Taking the help of terminal services or remote desktop services- This can permit you to gain access to your computer from a remote area, however there are expenses. Because it is only supported by more expensive Quick Books enterprise version. Much of the time you have to set up a complex server system, and perhaps pay higher expenses for client licenses. And this type of system is not easy to setup and requires sound technical expertise.
QuickBooks Online Edition- This is another option you can opt for but QuickBooks online Edition is completely different form QuickBooks desktop version. The interface, characteristics and add on selection is different.
Hosted QuickBooks or QuickBooks Hosting- In QuickBooks hosting, you chose a hosting service provider and pay a monthly rent to Host QuickBooks in remote servers. And you can access your data via internet. The advantage of choosing a hosted service provider is that multiple users can access the data, complete security of data and best technical support for any issues that arises. It saves your money and extra man power required to maintain the data.
These are the Benefits of Hosted QuickBooks or QuickBooks Hosting-
1. Clients can gain access to their Quick Books and information records administration from anyplace and at whatever time. Clients can additionally concede access to bookkeepers/accountants or trusted workers at remote areas.
2. QuickBooks Hosting clients don't need to be concerned with overhauls or System reinforcements. Since the QuickBooks software is on hosting provider's terminal servers and the product is constantly upgraded with the most recent version. Likewise, hosting companies perform every day back up of the QuickBooks information records, and the backup are transferred to a remote area. Accordingly, customer information is protected in the occasion of disaster
3. Each characteristics of QuickBooks desktop editions is available with QuickBooks hosting.
4. It reduces the IT cost incurred by the users as all the technical issues are looked after by the hosting companies.

The wonderful, talented, genius, Sublime Stitching mogul Jenny Hart asked me to come up with embroidery patterns based on my tattoo flash a couple years back. She end up deciding the rockabilly gal vibe was the right direction, so my earlier attempts at simplifying the linework with a different subject matter for stitching have remained in the vaults.... until now!
I hope that "..." pause made the announcement extra exciting!
So, as a late Christmas gift, feel free to print these out and go to town on your pillowcases, towels and clothing!
And, why not go ahead and order the one they DID manufacture at

Topeka Shiner Reintroduction in Missouri;
Designation of Non-essential Experimental Population
Questions and Answers
1. What action is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service taking?
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in partnership with the Missouri Department of Conservation and The Nature Conservancy, plan to reintroduce Topeka shiners into areas in Missouri where the fish occurred historically but has been extirpated. The Topeka shiner is federally-listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. To facilitate the reintroductions, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated three "nonessential experimental populations" under section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act. The final rule to designate the "nonessential experimental populations" published in the Federal Register on July 17, 2013.
2. Why do the Topeka shiner reintroductions require designating "nonessential experimental populations?"
Reintroduction of an endangered species into a new area means that Endangered Species Act regulations then go into effect. Concerns that the reintroductions may result in restrictions on land use often prompt negative public reaction, especially from private landowners who fear their normal activities will be prohibited or regulated. Congress added the provision for experimental populations under section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act to relieve those concerns. A reintroduction under the 10(j) rule allows relaxation of some Endangered Species Act provisions.
3. What is a nonessential experimental population?
A nonessential experimental population is a group of reintroduced plants or animals that is geographically isolated from other populations of the species and is not considered essential to the survival of the species as a whole.
4. What characteristics allow these reintroduced populations to be designated as nonessential experimental?
These reintroduced populations will be considered experimental because they will be reintroduced into suitable habitat that is outside of the Topeka shiner's current range but within its historical range. They are designated nonessential because the likelihood of the Topeka shiner surviving, as a species, would not be reduced if this reintroduction is not successful. This is so because several existing populations of Topeka shiner are considered secure and there are ongoing recovery actions for this fish in other areas of its range.
In addition, the nonessential experimental population status protects these Topeka shiner populations, while still allowing the presence of the fish to be compatible with routine activities in the reintroduction area. We believe the nonessential experimental designation allows us to retain the full support of the public, which is critical to the success of the project.
5. Specifically, what Endangered Species Act provisions are relaxed within the nonessential experimental populations as a result of the 10(j) rule?
Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act prohibits the "take" of endangered species, whether intentional or not. The term 'take' is defined in the Act to include ". . . . wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct." Within the nonessential experimental populations "take" of Topeka shiners that is incidental to otherwise legal activities, such as farming, forestry and wildlife management, land development, recreation, and other activities, is allowed. Therefore, if a landowner conducts legal activities and Topeka shiners are killed, he or she is not violating the Endangered Species Act. The intentional "take" of Topeka shiners does violate the Endangered Species Act.
6. Will activities be prohibited because of the reintroduced populations?
No, while it is illegal to deliberately "take" (kill or harm) Topeka shiners in the nonessential experimental populations, there are no additional prohibited activities because that would go against the purpose of the nonessential experimental population classification, which is specifically to avoid restricting land management and recreational activities. Federal projects will not be altered or stopped to protect the reintroduced Topeka shiner populations. No federal agency or its contractors will be in violation of the Endangered Species Act for harming or killing Topeka shiners as a result of authorized agency actions. Missouri's sport fishing regulations apply just like any other area of the state, with no new regulations to protect the reintroduced Topeka shiner populations, including no changes to bait collection regulations.
7. Where are the nonessential experimental populations for the Topeka shiner in Missouri?
Three nonessential experimental population areas are designated; located in the Big Muddy Creek, Little Creek and Spring Creek watersheds of Adair, Gentry, Harrison, Putnam, Sullivan, and Worth Counties. All the reintroduction sites within these areas are on lands owned by the Missouri Department of Conservation and The Nature Conservancy. Maps attached to this fact sheet show the specific locations.
8. Do you expect the Topeka shiner to expand into waters on private lands?
Yes, for the reintroduction to be successful, Topeka shiners will survive, reproduce, and expand their distribution from the introduction areas. We do not expect them to expand beyond the nonessential experimental population areas.
9. If predatory game fish are a threat to Topeka shiners, does the USFWS or Missouri Department of Conservation expect that future management will include removing game fish from streams within the nonessential experimental populations?
No, game fish were removed from ponds that will be used for captive-rearing Topeka shiners; this management action will not be taken outside of those ponds. Predatory game fish (especially largemouth bass) are more of a threat on streams and rivers with large impoundments. The nonessential experimental population areas were selected, in part, because there are no large impoundments with significant sport fisheries in the headwaters and numbers of largemouth bass are not expected to be high enough to prevent successful reintroduction. In addition, methods for removing bass and other game fish would also harm Topeka shiners and thus are not practical.
10. Why are Topeka shiners being reintroduced?
Although there are several stable populations of Topeka shiner outside of Missouri, viable populations in Missouri can be found in only two streams with populations that are small and isolated. These reintroductions, if successful, will mean the species is no longer vulnerable to extirpation in Missouri. New stable Topeka shiner populations in Missouri, although not essential to the species' recovery, will support recovery by providing resiliency and improved health for the species as a whole.
11. How will the reintroduction be monitored?
The Missouri Department of Conservation will monitor reintroduction efforts by periodically evaluating the status of Topeka shiner populations. To assess changes in distribution within each watershed, personnel will sample captive-rearing ponds and streams within the nonessential experimental population areas.
12. Where can I find more information about the nonessential experimental populations for the Topeka shiner in Missouri?
Information on the three Topeka shiner nonessential experimental populations in Missouri and a copy of the final rule can be found on our website at www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/.
The Missouri Department of Conservation's Topeka Shiner Recovery Plan is available online at http://go.usa.gov/4rcJ.

Here is the entire exchange between McCarthy and reporters on the first of several blown calls, the Al Harris strip of Terrell Owens. Very interesting.
The play you challenged with Al taking the ball from Owens, what are you allowed to challenge?
If you watch it on film, it's clear. You have one referee says it's a catch and forward progress. And the other referee comes in and says it's an interception. The ruling on the field was it was forward progress. Once you're in the area of forward progress, then the completion is done. You can't go backwards. So what I attempted to challenge was the incomplete. Just the conversation, I thought their crew did a good job with the communication part of it. He could not go back on the forward progress. Once it was declared forward, obviously the completion was in tact.
Do you think forward progress was stopped?
That's why I challenged it. That was a call that frankly should have went our way. But the forward progress, once you make that call, the interception is out the window. It's not an option as far as the challenge.
So that's different than the rule they changed for replay with down-by-contact and change of possession?
Once they clarify that the call on the field is forward progress, the only thing you can challenge is incomplete, complete or interception. So you're really knocked out of the box in a sense of challenging that particular call.
But you did anyway?
The conversation that we had, because obviously we huddled with John Parry and a couple of those guys, and what I attempted to challenge was it was an incomplete pass. Because I was hoping that the interception would have been ruled an incomplete pass, but it just didn't work out that way. They couldn't overturn it.
My reaction: Huh? If they literally "couldn't overturn it," then the referees never should have let McCarthy challenge the call (as Greg Bedard pointed out in real time). And it turns out we could have used that challenge later, on the 3rd down spot when Ryan Grant came up just short of a first down. (I think he actually was short, but it was certainly worth a challenge at that point in the game.)

Aug. 7, 2012
The preseason ranking is the highest for the Seminoles since 2008.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Florida State soccer team will open the 2012 season with high expectations not only from within the walls of the locker room at the Seminole Soccer Complex, but from the watchful eyes of those across the nation as well. FSU ranks No. 4 in the NSCAA/Continental Tire Division I Preseason Rankings. The preseason top 25 was announced today by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
The preseason ranking is the highest for the Seminoles since 2008 when the Garnet & Gold opened the season at No. 4. The ranking also marks the sixth straight year FSU has earned a spot in the top 10 of the NSCAA's preseason poll.
"It is an honor to open the season ranked in the top 5," said head coach Mark Krikorian. "It also shows the level of respect we have earned over the course of time as being a top program. But it is where we finish at the end of the season that mean a lot more. We know that with the quality of the schedule that we have we are going to be tested from the beginning to the very end of the season."
Eight starters and 13 letterwinners are back from last year's squad that finished with 18 wins while capturing the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship for the first time in school history and advancing to the College Cup.
With five College Cup appearances since 2003, Florida State is one of only three programs in the nation, and the only school in the ACC, to play in soccer's version of the `Final Four' five times in the last nine years. Since 2000, the Seminoles have made 12 straight trips to the NCAA Tournament, played in 10 `Sweet 16's' and advanced to the quarterfinal round seven years in a row – the longest active streak in the nation.
FSU returns five of seven players who recorded double-digit points last year including all-time leading scorer Tiffany McCarty (42 points), redshirt senior Jessica Price (17 points), sophomore Dagny Brynjarsdottir (13 points), seniorInes Jaurena (11 points) and sophomore Jamia Fields (10 points). Redshirt senior Casey Short returns to the pitch after missing the entire 2011 campaign due to an injury.
In all, the Seminoles return over 72 percent of their scoring from last year. The veteran leadership will come in handy for Krikorian and his staff as they welcome 13 newcomers in 2012.
Florida State is one of eight teams from the ACC ranked in the top 25 including one of five ranked in the top eight. The ACC is so good headed into 2012 that the Seminoles are the third highest ranked team in the league in the NSCAA's pre-season poll. Duke and Wake Forest are ranked second and third, respectively, while Virginia is ranked No. 7 and North Carolina is ranked No. 8.
"It doesn't get much tougher than the ACC," added Krikorian. "Eight teams in the top 25 and five in the top 8, it's a credit to the quality of the institutions, the coaches, the players and their commitment to excellence in this league.
"We continue to see good players out there that are really interested and excited to play in the ACC. There is a reason for it because you know every time you play that the opponent is going to be a good opponent. The league this year from top to bottom is the best that I have ever seen."
Florida State's quest for the school's first national championship begins on the road for the third year in a row as the Seminoles open the 2012 season in Minneapolis, Minn., against the University of Minnesota on Friday, August 17.

'United States Of Tara' Is Back Tonight For Season Two — And It's Just As Wild As Ever!
Don't miss tonight's season premiere at 10:30 p.m. on Showtime!
If you never got around to watching the first season of Showtime's United States of Tara, you're really missing out! Golden Globe winner Toni Collette is back and more ridiculous than ever as Tara Gregson — a wife, mother, teenage pot head and womanizing red neck. Oh, did we forget to mention she has multiple personalities? The many sides of Tara made for a wildly entertaining first season, and after watching the season two premiere, we're sure it's only going to get crazier from here!
Tara's various personalities emerge depending on the type of situation she finds herself in. When she can't handle her life, one of them takes over to help her cope. The main personalities that emerge are: Buck, the loud, beer drinking, Marlboro Red-smoking horn-dog; Alice, the June Cleaver-esque housewife who bakes with pearls and is irritatingly perfect; and T, the wild teenager.
The new season brings back the most hilarious alter-egos from season one, as well as some brand new ones! New neighbors are also a brilliant addition to the cast, showing that the Gregsons aren't the only family with issues. Funny and quirky as ever, the show still focuses on Tara's family as they try to cope with her serious disorder. Some handle it better as time goes by, while others really begin to lose their patience.
Max (John Corbett) is back in season two as Tara's supportive husband, along with their teenage kids — Kate (Brie Larson) and Marshall (Keir Gilchrist.) Tara's sister Charmaine (Rosemarie DeWitt), however, is not as supportive or understanding as the rest of the family. At the end of season one, Tara finally went to a psychiatric hospital to try a resolve her issues responsible for causing her to blackout and take on different personalities.
Overall, the new season is just as entertaining as the first, if not more so, as we begin to see all the characters grow and start to get a sense of their background. We give it an enthusiastic A+
Don't miss the season premiere, airing at 10:30 p.m. tonight on Showtime — right after the season premiere of Nurse Jackie!

ABC's McFadden Gushes to Michelle Obama: Do You Face 'Extra Pressures and Responsibilities?'
Nightline co-anchor Cynthia McFadden continued her fawning,
multi-part profile of Michelle Obama on Monday night, worrying about the
"extra responsibilities" that Mrs. Obama faces as an African American
First Lady. She then offered this softball: "Is it different to be a black child growing up in America today than it was four years ago?" [MP3 audio here.]
Fellow co-anchor Bill Weir bragged that his colleague had been "granted rare access" to Mrs. Obama. McFadden wondered if the President is "a bit intimidated, a little bit afraid" of his wife. The journalist then pushed Mrs. Obama to brag about the impact she's had.
McFadden hyped, "Not only are you the First Lady, but you have a
historic role as the first African-American first lady. Did that come
with extra pressures and responsibilities?"
She followed-up by hyping how historic Mrs. Obama is and the impact she's had on young black children.
The First Lady accepted the compliment: "You know what, I think that
because Barack and I are here, I do think kids today see a bigger world
and understand and it's not so threatening."
Monday Nightline and Good Morning America (which excerpted the interview) featured no tough questions. McFadden promised more on Tuesday night.
In an interview in 2009, McFadden admitted that reporters during the last election saw Barack Obama as a "bright hope in the distance."
A transcript of the October 8 segment can be found below:
BILL WEIR: Life in the White House. First Lady Michelle Obama in a candid interview. How she keeps her marriage and politics separate.
MICHELLE OBAMA: I rarely step foot in the West Wing.
WEIR: And her strategy for keeping her daughters grounded as they grow up in the biggest of spotlights.
WEIR: It has been a bit of a rough patch for President Obama following his roundly criticized debate performance last week. Times like these, a compassionate partner and not-so-secret weapon are appreciated more than ever and over the last several months And over the last several months, my co-anchor Cynthia McFadden was granted rare access to that person, First Lady Michelle Obama and joins us now. Good to see you. And I'm guessing big questions and small?
CYNTHIA MCFADDEN: Absolutely, Bill. Good evening. That's right. What's it really like to be married to the leader of the free world and raise children in the White House and how involved is she in setting the President's political agenda? Well, we asked Michelle Obama those questions and many others at the White House and on the road. With the election now only 29 days away, tonight, a close look at the First Lady, for our special series, "The Contenders: Family Ties." Looking at her here, it's hard to imagine she was ever reluctant to play the role.
MICHELLE OBAMA: [On stage] Serving as your First Lady is an honor and a privilege. But back when we first came together four years ago I still had some concerns about this journey we'd begun. [Walking in to talk to McFadden] How's everyone?
MCFADDEN: In a candid White House interview the First Lady explained what it was like for her back then.
MICHELLE OBAMA: The political life wasn't my first choice. We had been doing this for a while and you know, the toll that this takes on a family is real. So, you know, he knew enough to know that this wasn't just a "sure, honey, whatever you want."
MCFADDEN: If you had said no, we can't do this, would we not be sitting here today.
MICHELLE OBAMA: We would not and that's why I couldn't say no.
CRAIG ROBINSON: Her brother, Craig Robinson, remembers then-Senator Obama enlisted him to help sell her on the idea to convince him to run for president.
ROBINSON: He's like, "I think I'm going to take a run at the presidency." I was like "What? Have you talked to your wife about this?" He was like, "No!" So, he says to me, he says, "You got to do me favor, you got to talk to her because she's not going to go for it." I was like, "you're right, darn right she's not going to go for it."
MCFADDEN: Craig tells me–
MICHELLE OBAMA: Yeah.
MCFADDEN: --That your husband was outright nervous to tell you that he wanted to run for president. Is he a little bit intimidated, a little bit afraid of you, do you think?
MICHELLE OBAMA: No. No, not at all. I mean, this is one of the things I love about Barack, he's so used to having strong women in his life, you know, it's odd, I tell him that this is somehow, you know, God keeping his testosterone in check, because, really, he's surrounded by women. You know, he grew up with a single mom, his grandmother was the true head of the household. He married me. He's got Malia and Sasha who do not mince their words and he's sustained himself through a life a strong women.
MCFADDEN: Her strength, she says, comes from the way she grew up, from the south side of Chicago where he father worked as a pump operator for the city and her mother was a homemaker to the halls of Princeton where her parents proudly sacrificed so she and her brother could get an Ivy League education.
MICHELLE OBAMA: I choke up, you know, when I talk about this stuff because it is why we're here.
MCFADDEN: Needless to say, her own daughters inhabit a much different world. Sasha is now 11 and Malia, a teenager. It's hard enough to be 14 if your parents aren't the President and First Lady. How do you help her negotiate that really treacherous territory of 14?
MICHELLE OBAMA: We don't do a lot of, sort of "oh, woe is me" kind thing. She's got a great life, she's got great friends, she's happy. It's kind of hard, especially as we point out, "look around. You want to see hardship? You want to see struggle? You don't have it, kid." Having the President as your father way down on the list of tough. Just like, you'll be fine.
MCFADDEN: She often refers to herself as mom in chief, she comes to the role with a high-powered pedigree, graduate of Harvard Law School he ultimately walked way from her career so her husband could pursue his political ambitions.
MICHELLE OBAMA: I'm his biggest supporter.
MCFADDEN: But are you also brutally honest?
MICHELLE OBAMA: I'm honest, absolutely.
MCFADDEN: You think something has not gone right you say--
MICHELLE OBAMA: if I think it will help him. You know, but I also temper my remarks because sometimes you know, in a job like this, the last thing the President of the United States needs when he walks in the door to come home is somebody who is drilling him and questioning him about the decisions and choices that he's made. So, there are definitely times when, you know, I may feel something but I'll hold back because I'll know he'll either get to that on his own or just not time.
MCFADDEN: So, outside the White House, there is always lots of chatter about how much is the first lady influencing policy? How do you see your role in that regard?
MICHELLE OBAMA: I rarely step foot in the west wing. In fact, people are shocked when they see me there but rarely walk in that office because the truth is, he's got so many wonderful advisers. So, I don't even have the expertise and the time in to be able to provide the kind of advice and guidance that he's already getting. So–
MCFADDEN: I guess always the pillow at night if you really feel passionate about something. Win or lose this election, she says, she's come to love the job she was so reluctant to pursue. Not only are you the First Lady, but you have a historic role as the first African-American first lady. Did that come with extra pressures and responsibilities?
MICHELLE OBAMA: I haven't had time to solely step back and reflect yet on my role as the first African-American. I just want to make sure that I'm doing a good job.
MCFADDEN: Is it different to be a black child growing up in America today than it was four years ago?
MICHELLE OBAMA: You know what, I think that because Barack and I are here, I do think kids today see a bigger world and understand and it's not so threatening.
MCFADDEN: As an example a photo that hangs in the hall outside the Oval Office. Showing a little boy who had asked the president, "Does your hair feel like mine?"
MICHELLE OBAMA: And Barack said why "don't you touch it?" And bent over and after he touched it he said, "yeah, it does feel like mine." It speaks to who my husband is at his core. If this is what it takes to make all kids in this country feel some kind of connection to this place and to these opportunities and see themselves in these seats and to thrive, every single one of our kids, then he will do it and I'll do it and that's what makes this job so special.

I love hello kitty, and I love tea parties. What better excuse to make and bake cute desserts? I started on the teabag cookies today, to make sure I had time for the other desserts to come this weekend. Aren't they just cute?
They are actually quite easy to make. First, you will need your favorite rolled sugar cookie recipe. I used this one, but baked at a different temperature:
Then you will need to cut out a tea bag template out of parchment paper. Manually cut out each cookie with a knife or bench scraper outlining the template over the rolled dough. I used a #10 round piping tip to cut a hole for the string in each cookie.
Bake for 7-9 mins at 350.
Once the cookies cool, dip 1/3 of the bottom on the cookie in chocolate. Allow to dry on parchment paper.
Make the cute tea bag strings, I used hello kitty, since it is a hello kitty tea party!
I'm excited to show you the rest of the desserts and party favors for the tea party in the following days! I sewed each guests a hello kitty purse, filled with lovely loot. =]

The parents of autistic children represent a vast and important reservoir of information on the benefits-and adverse effects- of the large variety of drugs and other interventions that have been tried with their children. Since 1967 the Autism Research Institute has been collecting parent ratings of the usefulness of the many interventions tried on their autistic children.
The following data have been collected from the more than 26,000 parents who have completed our questionnaires designed to collect such information. For the purposes of the present table, the parents responses on a six-point scale have been combined into three categories: "made worse" (ratings 1 and 2), "no effect" (ratings 3 and 4), and "made better" (ratings 5 and 6). The "Better:Worse" column gives the number of children who "Got Better" for each one who "Got Worse."
