very good. I am 64, have been very slim my whole life. I have been dieting since i was 16 years old. I follow your rules for sure. I always thought it odd that no one ever asked me how i do it. it's like they assume i am naturally slim and never had to work at it. The thing is, after you start eating lots of vegetables, they start tasting Really Good, and you can eat lots and lots of them, and you don't even want to go back to the other junky stuff, it doesn't taste good anymore. well, except french fries ; ) i eat those maybe once a year.
Hey Lose Weighting is now on your step away...as much as you want to lose click here for more information
Its no doubt that some factors like hereditary, hormones and use of some medicines are the cause of overweight.
I follow the LFMM diet (Less Food More Movement). Works for me ;-)
You forgot to mention about limiting your time while looking through the cooking and recipe section of instructables.
"Yes, you CAN make it, but that is not a reason to actually do it."

The steps below have been taken to allow a user to be able to administer employees from an organization:
1. Create a role for user management.
2. Assign a grant "User Administration privileges", with permission set "All User Administration Privileges", on object "User Management Person", and data context type set to "Instance Set", with access policy "People in the Administrator's own Organization"
3. Assign this role to a user.
With that setup, the granted user is not able to query any employee from the organization in User Management / Users screen, hence cannot administer them.

What You Need to Know About Landscaping
If you are the kind of person that values curb appeal, learning about a few landscaping tips is important. Making sure that you are home looks good on the inside is equally important as making sure that it looks amazing on the outside. The first place that people look at when they come to visit is how the exterior part of your home looks like. You will find that some people really take care of their yards and they just allow weeds to grow. However, in a world where you can easily access the internet and learn as much as you can about anything, you have no excuse when it comes to learning a few tips on landscaping. If you have never thought about landscaping, the paragraphs below will give you some tips that you can consider when you want to come up with your landscape design.
Have a Full View of Your Yard
The first and most important thing is that you need to know how your yard looks. There are a number of things that you will need to look at. These things include the type of soil in your yard, the topography, the climatic condition in the region that you live in, and the size of your yard. Having this information will help you know which landscape design will best suit your space.
Consider Hiring a Professional
Another factor that you need to consider is whether there are professionals available that you can hire. If you live in an area where most houses are residential houses, you will always find that there are several landscape design companies available. The best thing about hiring a professional is that they know what they are doing. If you hire the right one, they can include you throughout the entire process.
Establish Who Will Be Using the Yard
Next, you need to make sure that you know who will be using the yard more often. If you have children or pets you need to make sure that the landscape design you are choosing suits their daily activities. This is because children and pets are usually active. So you do not want a design that can cause any sort of risk to them. Additionally, in such a case you will need a design that you can easily maintain instead of something complicated that will always be stressing you every time your children are done playing in the yard.
Cost of Design
The rates for changing Your landscape design vary depending on how complex or simple it is. You can save money by either hiring a professional who can help you come up with a simple cost-effective design or you can get a few pointers online. There are so many blogs that talk about DIY landscaping designs that anyone can try. You will always find that doing it yourself is cheaper. However, if you are thinking of a complex design, it is better if you hire a professional.
Look at Different Themes
Lastly, you should look at a variety of different designs before you settle on one. Pinterest and Google can help you see what other people have done with their yards that you can consider doing. Go through a variety of them before you choose the one that best suits your needs.

There are 2 types of "time characters": people who live In-Time and others who live Through-Time. While we can define some broad descriptors it might not be easy to decide for yourself who you are.
In-Time: Lives in the present, can be late and not aware of it, focus of things in sight – then out of mind, concept of future is fuzzy
Through-Time: good at planning, aware of time and usually on time, less focus on the moment but can maintain attention over time, clear vision of the future.
When working on your own time management system, it is important to understand where you are in relation to these two extremes. As well, as working or living with someone who seems to have a completely different concept of time.
Try this exercise, maybe with the help of a friend:
* Imagine yourself when you were 5 years old, brushing your teeth.
Where did you get that memory?
* Now imagine yourself at 16. Where is that memory located?
* Imagine yourself at 23 or so, graduating from college. Where is that memory?
Mark each point, try a few more memorable dates.
* Where is NOW located?
if NOW is outside of yourself -> you tend to live Through Time
if NOW is inside of yourself -> you tend to live In Time

The practice of general dentistry encompasses an amazing array of services and procedures.
All of this is with a common goal: to help you to preserve your natural teeth as long as possible, ensure your oral health, and keep you looking and feeling great throughout life.
Oral Health
Oral health is an essential component of general health. In fact, medical research has revealed links between common oral infections and serious general health conditions including cardiovascular disease. It is therefore of the utmost importance to maintain the health of your teeth, gums, and other oral tissues.
This should start in childhood so that health-promoting habits can develop early. Even toddlers can benefit from a trip to the dentist's office to be examined for early signs of tooth decay and to become accustomed to the place where many important preventive services will be performed throughout childhood and beyond. Every stage of life carries with it particular oral health concerns, and your dentist is trained to address every one of them.
All practicing dentists complete a four-year dental school program and then take a rigorous exam to become licensed to practice in a particular state. Dentists then periodically take continuing education courses to stay abreast of new research and technology. To learn more about our dentists, their passions, and their education, check out our Meet the Doctors page!

I went on a walk with my grandmother to exchange a pair of shoes that didn't fit when I was spending a few days at her house for the holidays. I held her hand, partly to envelop myself in her energy—that of a woman who is always on the go, ready, even enthusiastic about taking on quotidian challenges. When I'm not with her, I long for her care. To have her around feels like being wrapped in blankets. But we also held hands to help her stabilize on a pair of heels she insists on wearing despite the trickiness of the Portuguese cobblestones that populate the streets of Rio.
Even when people tell her she should step down from those heels, to let go of this unnecessary sign of feminine passivity, she reminds us that there's nothing she can't do, nowhere she can't go, wearing them. She click clacks the cobblestones defiantly, purposeful.
My grandmother's energy, although agitated, is elegant, not unlike the actress Isabelle Huppert's, who is a decade younger than her. In Mia Hansen-Løve's 2016 picture Things to Come, Huppert, like my grandmother, often wears heels of the office variety: retaining the poise of a stiletto, but also practical, efficient. Things to Come is about Nathalie Chazeaux, a high school philosophy teacher and academic, whose life gets swept up in misfortune. Her husband of twenty years leaves her for another woman, her depressed mother dies, and she's fired from her part-time publishing job. She struggles to keep her life together without losing grasp of the person she is or the footing of the space she has carved out for herself as mother, wife, daughter, and intellectual.
Shortly after Things to Come came out, Richard Brody, long time New Yorker staff film critic and Godard scholar, wrote in his review that "Hansen-Løve never gets to the soul of her protagonist—her film comes to life with Nathalie's own activity but doesn't reveal much about her in repose beside her baseline of human decency."
His comment disturbed me: what about Nathalie went unexplored? Brody assumed, as many people—especially men—do, that a domestic life can't construct a personality. For men, more than women, the housewife role is boring because it is granted. I wanted to tell Brody that on the contrary, Nathalie's activity told me all I needed to know about what kind of person she was. Beyond human decency, she had the beautifully maternal quality of refusing to be forced into repose; of caring, deeply and unconditionally, about those around her. So much that her presence becomes not only pleasant, but essential. It feeds the energy of the entire house, makes it safe. I saw it because I recognized it; Nathalie Chazeaux is akin to the lineage of women I come from.
The film is striking in all of its aspects, but what I couldn't forget was the way Nathalie's wedge heels click clacked on the floor. How loudly she moved from place to place; how her movement characterized her struggle. Nathalie is always picking up, setting down, moving things around. Holding a bag and a stack of papers, piling books in her purse. Essential to her movement is the sound her heels make on hard floors, which consistently asserts the presence of femininity. You can hear her when she's coming around from a couple of rooms over, click clacking with the same force she does when she is determined to leave. It's more powerful than slamming a door, the way these shoes clack, because they linger for a while before they completely cease. It's also hovering, imminent, as if the room, by listening to the sound of her approach, can feel her presence before she is even there—much in the way clouds turn grey and the wind picks up before a storm. And once the weather resettles, you're left with a space that has been changed by the force that has reckoned with it. No place is the same after Nathalie's shoes have come and gone.
The clutter of daily tasks Nathalie's life revolves around is enveloped in that sound; it's a testament to her effort. Her shoes clack when she is moving in places that bear the weight of her activity, to use Brody's word. Contrary to what might be assumed—in a society where men's roles oscillate between work and home, agitation and inertia—this is simply most of the time. Women like Nathalie and my grandmother don't have a moment where they might put their cares out to rest. In all spaces, they are moving, their shoes clacking, nonstop, unapologetically and unhesitant about announcing themselves and asserting their presence while meeting ordinary challenges.
Housekeeping has long been understood as non-labor, an activity that should largely go unpaid, perhaps because society has taught us to believe it comes naturally to women. As expectations of women in the work force have shifted from the post-war era onwards, we have favored women's plight in the workplace and mostly ignored the fact that some women occupy a duality of space in the home and the work environments. Nathalie wakes up every morning to go teach at the high school, a job requiring her presentation of femininity to signify authority and elegance. Often, we see her dressed in light sweaters, contained patterned blouses, fitted pants and, of course, wedge heels. She paces up and down the classroom, challenging her students to think through the sound of her click clack. Nathalie takes on the streets of Paris and the hallways of her own home with the same resolve she presents in the classroom. The division of her labor does not translate to fragmentation in identity, or efficiency: the same woman who will stand up for the seriousness of her textbooks in a publishing meeting will make dinner for her children; still the same woman will take care of her ill mother; she will peruse her bookshelves at home in search of a volume her ex-husband had the audacity to take away. There is no need for Nathalie to change outfits in between, to slip into something more practical or less demanding than heels––the sound of her shoes stomping the ground accompanies her like a shadow does its figure, inextricable from each other. Nathalie doesn't succumb to the impracticality of her shoe choice, she persists through it: a woman as unafraid of tripping in her heels as she is unstoppable wearing them.
The sound of Nathalie's shoes provides a clue to how we have come to perceive womanhood. Domesticity has been connected to meekness, conformity, subordination—domestic women have become symbols of the hidden, the quiet. So much so that it becomes increasingly harder for our current generation of feminists, who are preoccupied with the wage gap and the female CEO, to appreciate a woman who moves in the space between the office and the house and who takes seriously these infinite labors without complaint, ignoring the tenderness in the balls of her feet after a long day in heels. But is it possible that in our eagerness to see the maternal as meek, we have blinded ourselves entirely to the powers a woman can have in the domestic sphere? Is it possible we have deafened ourselves to the sound of their presence?
It's true that a hard working housewife is a delight to any patriarch—at least at first glance. In the same way, it's also true that there are patriarchal strongholds—the imposition to be beautiful, to appeal to the male gaze—that encourage women to wear heels, as well as the unjust task of submitting our feet to a torture men don't have to. In an essay about the evolution of the high heel for the Atlantic, as it concerns its primary wear by men in pre-Revolution France, Megan Garber notes that heels "simultaneously raise up the wearers, and by virtue of their heights, hold them back as they move through the world."
But, what of women who use the momentum of the height to propel forward, to proclaim to the world—the institutions that they are fighting—that not only are they able to bear its impracticality but in fact use that same characteristic to assert, to threaten, to mark presence?
At this age of feminist thought it should go without saying that this is not true of all women. As Garber rightfully argues, there are no absolute truths to gender.
This points us to the liberating idea that women can choose to give heels meaning by refusing to wear them just as much as they can by choosing to wear them. Nathalie's, my mother's, my grandmother's presences are so obvious, so all-encompassing and so vital to the workings of the home—a space that has as one of its functions to provide us with solace and mercy—that the sound of their heels clacking on the floor becomes a lullaby; and the silence of their absence becomes menacing, as if we've done something wrong and our privilege to comfort has been revoked. These women excel at the ability to give us the most primal of sensations, which is to feel protected. Although protection has been long associated with patriarchal roles, I am certain that hearing my mother and my grandmother click clacking around the house is what has always given me the deepest sense of safety, of being home.
Women like Nathalie, like my grandmother, can be as threatening to men and the oppressive structures of our society as a woman occupying a leadership position in a corporate job, because they have the ability to transform the spaces they move in subtly and yet irrevocably—with the sound of their heels, with the warmth of their touch. Their power is founded on the knowledge that they protect us as they do because they can, not because they're obliged to; their action rests entirely upon their will. A decision to refuse access to this power is able to throw off the equilibrium of the whole house and substantially change our perspective of family and the concept of home. The sound of Nathalie's shoes is threatening because it proves her to be a woman whose life is interesting, engaging; which requires her comings and goings, loudly proclaiming where she is. Far from being submissive, she is defiant of what the world asks of her, because she knows there's nothing she can't do—and what's more, there's nothing she can't do her own way, the way she knows best. Clacking her heels. Nathalie Chazeaux will be fine, and free, because it is what women like her do. A rebel can still rebel in motherhood, daughterhood, wifehood. In this light, heels represent not the response to the male gaze, but evidence of an assertive personality, a refusal to be ignored.
After coming back from the walk with my grandmother on that hot summer's day in Rio, I tried on the pair of wedges with black straps she had gifted me for Christmas. They fit, and they clacked beautifully on her floor.

Obituary: Ivan Spangenberg III, 87
Ivan "Bump" Spangenberg III passed away suddenly due to injuries suffered in a fall on June 18 while vacationing on Block Island with his family. The day marked his and Dell's 62nd wedding anniversary.
Bump was born on Aug. 13, 1929, and raised in Westport, Conn. A member of the class of 1947 at Staples High School, he excelled athletically in football, basketball, and baseball. He graduated from Brown University in 1951, where he played baseball and was a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. Post graduation, he served as an officer in the United States Navy during the Korean War. He then enjoyed a successful career at Merrill Lynch from which he retired.
He and Dell (née Graham) were married in 1955 and raised their six children in Wilton, moving into the home where Dell had been raised. Bump's true passion was his family. He was lovingly involved in the lives of his six children, 19 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. Always active in the community, he served as a Wilton Fire Commissioner, coached Little League, volunteered at both the Wilton Historical Society's Train Exhibition and Norwalk Hospital, and was a past president of both the Lions Club and The Shore and Country Club.
In addition to his wife, Bump is survived by his six children: Beth Shea of Laytonsville, Md., Mark Spangenberg and his wife Robin of Millis, Mass., Terry Walters and her husband Clint of Santa Cruz, Calif., Tom Spangenberg and his wife Anna of Dover, Mass., Katy Williams and her husband Rob of Wilton, Conn., and Maggie O'Brien and her husband Greg of Lynnfield, Mass. He is also survived by 19 grandchildren: Katy Shea Pagano (Peter); Kerry Shea Offterdinger (Bobby); Brian Shea (Theresa); Kevin Shea; Sara, Caroline, Luke, and Kate Spangenberg; Alex Spangenberg (Kristy); Mack, Scott, and Will Spangenberg; Maggie, John, Michael, and Danny Williams; Andrew, Margot, and David O'Brien; and four great-grandchildren: Juliana, Marcus, and Leo Pagano, and Olivia Offterdinger. His parents, Ivan and Helen Spangenberg, his brother, Peter Spangenberg, and his son-in-law, Daniel Shea, predeceased him.
Bump loved working on projects around his home. The vegetable garden served as a particular source of pleasure, with family and friends sharing the bounty. His workshop produced a steady output of repaired furniture, home improvements, model trains, wooden toys, and assorted creative solutions to any project that got his attention. Hearing the machines from the basement, or the sound of his tractor, his family knew that Papa was hard at work. For years he drove around his property on his tractor, custom fitted by him with a wooden train exterior complete with a passenger car and bell for his grandchildren to ring. The night before he died, he again drove the tractor, this time with his great-grandchildren on board, enjoying every minute.
His family cherishes a life well lived by a man who exemplified integrity and commitment to his family and community.
Services will be private. The family will hold a reception in his honor at the Wilton Historical Society from 2 to 4 p.m. on July 8, 2017.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in his name to the Wilton Historical Society: http://wiltonhistorical.org/in-memorium/.

Upper urinary tract stones are a significant source of morbidity and cost in industrialized society. With genetic, environmental and metabolic risk factors for stone formation, stone disease affects a large cross section of the population. Consequently, strategies aimed at stone prevention are attractive. To that end, a thoroughly understanding of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of stone disease is critical in order to target key physiologic processes that can be manipulated in order to prevent stone formation. Likewise, the identification of individuals at high risk of stone formation can streamline the selection, evaluation and treatment of patients with a history of stones. However, despite our best efforts to prevent stone formation, stones do and will continue to occur. As such, surgical treatments with the least morbidity and highest effectiveness are continuously sought. In this issue of Urologic Clinics, all aspects of stone disease, from pathogenesis to surgical treatment to prevention is explored in order to provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of stone disease and an update on the most recent innovations in surgical and medical management.

In the Spirit of McPhineas Lata and Other Stories (by Lauri Kubuitsile)
In many of these stories, there is a sense that things are not as they seem: a woman's husband-to-be has a questionable past and a voluptuous stranger's beauty belies her malevolence. Characters are shaped by the particular challenges of their context - a young pregnant Mosarwa girl is forced to make a terrible decision and the barren wife of a wealthy Gaborone man is made to see an old woman with supposed powers of fertility. Atmospheric and evocative, these stories will entertain and transport you to the hot, dusty heart of Botswana.

Bascially, all types of radioactive material can
create mutations in living organisms, as long as
the organism's DNA is exposed to the radiation
long enough.All light (including heat) is
radiation, but only some types of radiation carry
enough energy to harm organisms. Radioactivity is
one such type of radiation (UV light is another).
Radioactivity is harmful to living cells because
it is ionizing radiation, which means that it can
rip away electrons from an atom. This can destroy
or harm important biological molecules, not just
DNA.Very strong radiation can kill cells
outright. This is the type of radiation that is
used to kill cancer cells, for example. In other
instances, radiation will not kill the cell but
instead may cause a change in the structure of the
DNA (a "mutation") within the cell's nucleus. DNA
is a complex molecule involving bonds between many
atoms. If some of those bonds are disrupted
because of a loss of electrons from the atoms
involved in the bonds, then the DNA molecule now
contains errors, and the cell may be unable to
produce proteins or enzymes. There are repair
processes within cells to fix errors that
accumulate in DNA molecules, but these processes
may not catch all errors, or may not be able to
keep up with rapid mutations. Some mutations may
be so harmful or there may be so many of them,
that the organism dies within a few months. On the
other hand, the mutation may take years to affect
the organism's health, or may not be harmful at
all. The average person would only be exposed to
low doses of continuous radiation (smoking or lots
of X-rays, for example), and so would see the
effects of a mutation only after a long time
lag.There are two things you need to worry
about when considering exposure to
radioactivity:1. how strong the radiation is
(how much energy you're exposed to)2. what
type of energy it is: alpha particles, beta
particles, gamma rays or X-raysAlpha particles
are the weakest form of radioactivity and cannot
penetrate the skin. However, if you were to ingest
or inject alpha particles into your body, they
would do more damage to your cells and DNA than
other types of radiation (for a given amount).
Some beta particles also cannot penetrate the
skin, but some can. Beta particles can also
interact with some materials (lead) to produce
gamma rays. Obviously, X-rays can penetrate the
skin but are stopped by bone, which is why they
are used to look at the skeleton. Gamma rays are
the strongest form of radioactivity and, if not
shielded, can penetrate the skin from across a
room. If you don't go around drinking or injecting
radioactive solutions, gamma rays are the worst of
the bunch.
Radioactive materials in general emit three basic
types of radiation: alpha particles (energetic
helium nuclei), beta particles (electrons or
anti-electrons), or high energy (x-ray or gamma
ray) photons.Each of these three types of
radiation can penetrate into the human body to a
different extent. The particular type of
radiation that is emitted by a given radioactive
substance usually depends on the number of protons
and neutrons in the nucleus. Each type of
radiation might have slightly different effects on
organisms.The basic idea, as I understand it,
is that the radiation can damage the DNA in a cell
when it hits it, which would cause a mutation of
some sort. Most of the time, this would cause the
cell to die. Sometimes, though, the cell may
be able to survive with the mutation and even
replicate itself. Cancer is caused by a mutated
cell gone awry. The cells don't work correctly,
don't die when they are supposed to, and replicate
themselves like mad, usually preventing other
normal cells from functioning properly.

The Rise of Urgent Care Facilities
Urgent Care facilities are becoming one of the fastest growing locations for medical treatment. These clinics can treat most ailments quickly and efficiently, which eliminates the need for those who are sick or injured to wait in overcrowded emergency rooms for hours on end. This kind of wait can often lead to the contraction of other ailments, or in some cases, lead to complications from being unable to be seen in a timely fashion. Therefore, many people are choosing the speed and accuracy of Urgent Care in Albany, GA. With the ability to seek treatment without appointments, urgent care facilities are now one of the most sought-after forms of medical services.
The Benefits of Urgent Care
Besides avoiding the long waits in emergency rooms, there are other benefits to seeking medical assistance at urgent care facilities. One such benefit is standard pricing that is affordable to people in need of care. Most urgent cares provide affordable services to help those who lack insurance or whose insurance may not cover all services they need. Another benefit of urgent care facilities are the services they offer. In most cases, everything from x-rays to flu shots can be given at these places, ending the need to go elsewhere. Urgent cares are also being used more often due to many emergency rooms now refusing to accept certain insurances and customers.
When facing an illness that is not life-threatening, urgent care facilities are available without appointments being necessary. If you find yourself suddenly under the weather, stopping by the nearest urgent care in Albany, GA can get you back on track to feeling yourself again without having to wait weeks for an appointment elsewhere. If these benefits and conveniences suit your needs, give the people at OneSource Healthcare a visit.

Disney is gamifying its park experience, releasing a new app to add a layer of interaction.
Available as a free download at both the Disneyland and Walt Disney World resorts, the 'Play Disney Parks' app has been created with group play in mind, offering visitors a new activity while waiting to ride its attractions.
Gamification of queue lines is a major part of the new application, with a number of interactive experiences available for select rides. At California Adventure, 'Playset Party' will be available for the Toy Story Mania ride.
The same ride at Hollywood Studios also offers the game, as well as 'Andy's Boardgame Blast!' at the Slinky Dog Dash rollercoaster.
Peter Pan's Flight and Space Mountain have gaming experiences called 'Off to Neverland' and 'Rocket Race' respectively, with the same rides and games on offer at both parks.
In addition, guests can earn, collect and share uniquely themed achievements, as well as rewards for playing games, answering trivia, completing challenges and experiencing select attractions.
"Play Disney Parks represents the next step in how we use innovative digital technology to enhance the guest experience in our parks," says Vivek Sharma, senior vice president of Digital Guest Experience.

AMHERST, MA – The Amherst College men's swimming and diving team suffered a 172-119 loss to MIT Sunday afternoon at Pratt Pool, marking the Lord Jeffs' first setback of the season. Amherst will travel to take on Springfield College Saturday, Feb. 7, in its final dual meet.
Amherst honored its eight seniors before the meet, but it was first-year Ryan Lichtenfels (McLean, VA) who stole the show by setting a pair of pool records. In the second event of the afternoon, Lichtenfels dominated the 1,000-yard freestyle in 9:34.60, nearly 14 seconds ahead of classmate Tim White (Centerport, NY), who placed second.
The 500 freestyle was equally impressive for Lichtenfels, who broke a 20-year old Pratt Pool record by completing the race in 4:37.58, nearly three seconds better than the previous record to mark an NCAA "B" time. The first-year standout nearly picked up a third win in the 200 individual medley, but he was edged by one one-hundredth of a second in yet another outstanding performance.
White picked up Amherst's only other win in the swimming events when he edged MIT's Tim Stumbaugh in the 200-yard backstroke. In a battle between first-years, White touched the wall in 1:56.53 with Stumbaugh close behind at 1:56.66.
Competing in his 12th dual meet as a Lord Jeff, senior Kai Robinson (Vashon, WA) swept the diving events for the 11th time, as he is a perfect 7-for-7 this season. After his 328.95 won him the 3-meter event, Robinson scored a 310.43 on the 1-meter board in his final event at Pratt Pool.
In addition to Robinson, seven Lord Jeffs took part in their final dual meet at Pratt Pool: Josiah Bethards (Hershey, PA), Alec Goldfield (Palo Alto, CA), C.J. Holmes (Alma, MI), Dan Peterson (Silver Spring, MD), Chris Resler (Madison, NJ), Joe Scala (Pequannock, NJ) and Christian Witzke (Jacksonville, FL).
MIT also set two pool records Sunday afternoon, as junior Jeff Zhou won the 100-yard butterfly in 51.20 to break a six-year-old record before the Engineers' 400-yard freestyle relay team of Zhou, Luke Cummings, Peter Wellings and Laurent Charpentier put in a solid time of 3:09.43. The previous 400 relay record of 3:09.52 was set last year by Amherst.
The Lord Jeffs return to action Saturday, Feb. 7, when they travel to take on Springfield College in the final dual meet of 2009.

Unprecedented betrayal of users

If I could give Myspace a negative star rating, I would. Just visit myspaceshame.com to see what the users think of this travesty, in their own words.
Since you deleted my 367 pictures you will be putting them back on my page. I have to say I used to think Myspace might make it throw the years but you suck! I want my old myspace back, I want my original name back, I also want all my pics back.
I have emailed and Myspace said they would delete the account, but they have not. I was a minor when I created the account. The picture up on the account is from before I turned 18. I have asked them to take my account down due to conflicts with possible jobs. DO NOT MAKE A MYSPACE!!!!! I would give 0 stars if I could. This company is awful. No wonder they have been overtaken by Facebook and Instagram.
Myspace, I want my account to be deleted asap. I have clicked the link which was emailed to me and my account still has not been cancelled. For the last time please can you cancel my myspace account as I am getting really frustrated.
Myspace is a joke, they are deleting thousands of profiles of gamers on their classic site while trying to advertise their new one? Who would trust a site like that to subscribe? Why take your time to make a profile, add your interests and spend your time just to have it all deleted on a whim? My advice to anyone would be to steer clear of them completely, who needs them, some people had those profiles for over 4 years. They don't respond to calls or emails so obviously customer loyalty means nothing to them.
Myspace, I want my account to be deleted asap. I have clicked the link which was emailed to me and my account still has not been cancelled. For the last time please can you cancel my myspace account as I am getting really frustrated.
I have tried every way to contact myspace. I need someone to call me or email me. I have had two profiles hacked and there is way too much information showing on my accounts. It is professionally hurting me. I need to get someone to delete both my accounts IMMEDIATELY. Please call 509292062two It is crucial I get these accounts deleted. email@example.com

It's very obvious that Myspace has little or no testing on their site. The performance, and functionality of the site is really lacking. Sad to see a company once so forward and well adapted fall to this level.
You should fire who ever came up with changing myspace , not only fire him or her but cut their hands off so they cant go some where else and destroy some other web site . If you were smart you'd change myspace back to the good way it was befor . Other wise you wont have no one to blame for your company becoming something that was good to something everyone wants to forget about , including me. If the head of that company has'nt seen the comments since the change then he cant blame anyone else when the company in no more . People liked myspace because it was their space , now ! its a space for dumb sh*t . Change it back ! 99% of your user have spoke . NOW ITS UP TO YOU TO LISTEN...........

Your Phone # listed for your coprorate headquarters is of poor quality in the answering. It gives you option 2 for customer sevice then says login to ask a question. Well you can't log in so what good is it? Hello what happened to good one on one customer service? Secondly, something happened to my password and when promted to login and use the I forgot my password link after you enter your screen name you signed up with, it does not send you a password link or any information to your login email address. This as well is frustrating. Thirdly, someone has hacked into my personal name and is using my real name to someone in PA. So what good is it? If you try and call Customer Service and want help and all you get is push one of 3 options which none are of any use? Hello, wake up guys, this used to be one of the best sights ever. Look at all the negative comments people have written here. Now wonder people have jumped ship to other sights as Facebook, Twitter etc etc? would be nice to see, know if you cared to reply here? email@example.com

I've Got News…
Tuesday December 30, 2008see more by jen
Hello! I am excited to share some exciting news…I am 12 weeks pregnant with Baby #2 due this July! We are over the moon with excitement, and I really can't believe how fast the first trimester has flown by. I want to share my experiences going through this pregnancy, and would love to hear from other mamas-to-be as well! This will be long post as I have a whole first trimester to cover, consider it a warning!
It took me a long time to feel *ready* to even fathom getting pregnant again. I think I was a little nervous about being sick with pregnancy and working and taking care of a toddler. I had pretty bad nausea and vomiting with Emma. Then one day a few months back, I was really surprised when my husband said "I'm not getting any younger, we should really get on this if we want another!" So, I slowly got to the point where I thought, OK, I think I could do this now. Then, I got really excited about the idea, but wanted to be cautious about getting too excited because I didn't want to set myself up for disappointment if it didn't happen right away.
So, there we are, the last week of October, it was approaching the end of my cycle and I took a pregnancy test that Wednesday and it was negative. It was too early and I knew it. But, why is it that the moment you are REMOTELY approaching a period, you have an impulse to just pee on that stick?! Those tests are addicting. I really didn't think I was pregnant, but I knew we had tried at the right time (thanks to those ovulation predictor pee sticks!) and I got anxious. The next day is Thursday, and I don't take one. That night at 7pm, I meet my friend Pam at Dream Dinners' to make our dinners. On the way driving over, I am feeling EXHAUSTED. Not my typical end-of-the-day with a toddler exhausted, but my body just felt weird and heavy and I felt really out of it. I think the Dream Dinners' girl must have thought I was a little out there. In the parking lot, I tell my friend that I feel soooo tired and her first comment is "Are you pregnant???" And she had a twinkle in her eye. It made me excited, but I didn't want to be disappointed. I knew the next morning I could take another test. At that moment, I knew in my heart that I was really ready to be pregnant.
So, the next morning is Halloween, a Halloween I will never forget! I wake up early and go and pee on the stick. I start to see that faint line come up in the test window. And I know. I start shaking and I start to feel tears well up in my eyes. I think "oh my GOD, oh my GOD, oh my GOD…" over and over again. It is just as intense of a feeling as the first time. I go and get my daughter up and I am staring at her thinking, am I am really going to get another one??? Is she going to be a big sister???
My husband comes home from his jog and I tell him, and he says, "What? Noooooo…..REALLY?!" Being the practical, methodical one of the family, he asks "Are you sure??" We stand there staring at the test, and I ask him "You see a line, don't you?!" He gives me a hug and we just stare at each other in disbelief. In the movies, he would likely lift me up and twirl me around and we would look at each other and be crying with joy. But at our house, the first real comment he says is "Are you sure you are ready for this???" He looks a little pale.
Disclaimer: my husband is the nicest, kindest, most amazing husband and father in the whole world, but his initial responses in situations like these do not always win the"best reaction" award. Luckily, after being with him for 10 years, I know what to expect. Then, I have to laugh at his question, because we both totally knew what we were doing and trying to do, but when it actually happens, there is still that feeling of total DISBELIEF!
That whole day was sort of surreal. A mix of joy and disbelief and euphoria and shock. The whole day I repeated in my head "I'm pregnant! I'm pregnant?" I went to lunch and the mall with my sister, and just kept thinking about it. I wanted to shout it out to everyone around me. Like the girl behind the Wahoo's counter, "I will have a # 1 with black beans, and by the way, I'm pregnant!" We tell our family and close friends, and still have that feeling like, is this for real? It is so hard in the beginning weeks because you want to be SO excited, but you still have that cautious feeling, hoping and praying that everything works out.
I got about a week and a 1/2 of a "honeymoon" period where I felt GREAT. I felt totally healthy and happy and kept thinking, maybe this pregnancy will be different. I tried to use all my powers of positive thinking to convince myself I wouldn't be as sick. Come week 5 1/2 (same EXACT day it started with Emma per my journal) the nausea kicks in, regardless of my positive thinking. And it sucks just as bad as I remembered with Emma, but worse! Emma has no idea and expects Mommy to be on her A game and I am barely making it through the day between the constant nausea and fatigue. It really hits me like a ton of bricks. Add on a home burglary at that same time, and this mama was not a very happy camper for this time period! The hormones, sickness and trauma of getting robbed nearly put me over the edge.
I went for my first doctor's appointment at 7 weeks, and he gives me the OK to take a Unisom Sleep Tab (Doxylamine Succinate 25 mg) at night with vitamin B6 to help with the nausea and vomiting. I was barfing a couple times a day and completely miserable. I took Unisom with Emma, but not until I was 13 weeks and still barfing and couldn't take it any more. I was so paranoid to take anything with my first pregnancy, especially in the 1st trimester, which is why I waited so long. He said it is considered a totally safe medication and to take it if I needed it. I got it that same night. It is a miracle for me. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are suffering from nausea and vomiting OF COURSE ask your doctor before taking Unisom. I take 1/2 a tablet at night and it gets me through the entire next day. It takes my nausea from like a 9 to a 3, and makes it totally manageable. Just make sure (if your doctor gives you the OK) to buy the Unisom that says Doxylamine Succinate 25 mg (white box) as that is the ingredient that works.
At that same 7 week appointment, he feels my uterus and tells me it feels more like a 10 – 12 week uterus. I am somewhat glad it wasn't my imagination, because I seriously felt like I got that pregnancy pooch almost immediately. They send me for an immediate ultrasound to check the dates, and he said it could be 1) I am a month farther along (I am freaking out thinking about the WINE I had that month – although I really didn't think that possible) 2) fibroid or some other growth on my uterus 3) just the way my body is made and reacting to this pregnancy. However, the lady checking me in at the ultrasound place, and the nurse at my doctor's office both asked if we had twins that ran in the family! The check-in lady took a look at my face after that question and said "Breathe!" Turns out, it was just the way my body is made (most likely also having to do with having a previous c-section – Emma was breech.) There on the screen was ONE little 7 week old with a beating heart already. I felt so GRATEFUL. I continue to feel grateful every day.
So, here we are at week 12, and I am feeling like I am slowly coming out of the 1st trimester yuckies. The fatigue has started to lift (a bit, not totally), my bowels are functioning better (OMG, week 8 was the WORST), I still am nauseous periodically throughout the day, but I am soooo much better. I am totally in maternity clothes already, however, I am in that bad stage of looking like I have been enjoying the holiday sweets all too much, but don't look obviously pregnant yet. I keep telling myself to embrace the body changes, that my body is a vessel for a new life, blah blah blah, but I have to admit, when getting dressed and looking at the tire around my middle that is not an obvious pregnancy bump, it is a tad hard!
Today we go for our 12-week ultrasound, the sequential screening. They didn't offer that with my first pregnancy. I didn't even have an ultrasound with Emma until I was 19 weeks. I am nervous and excited, and just want to hear that everything is looking okay. I am hearing from some people they found out the sex at this early one?!? We for sure want to find out. I am wondering if they might be able to take a guess today? So crazy!!!
Wish me luck, I will write back with a report!

A key component of a DCIS education is the requirement that students develop a portfolio of their best work each year that reflects the four Graduation Portfolio System (GPS) domains of global leadership that drive our curriculum (Investigate the World, Recognize Perspectives, Communicate Ideas, Take Action).
For each work in their portfolio, students include an artifact (i.e., representative documentation) of the piece, such as photographs, a link to a YouTube video for a performance-based project, a screen capture of a web page with a link to the student-created website, a promotional flyer for a student-conceived and -run festival, etc.
Although portfolios in the past were largely paper-based, DCIS has increasingly moved toward more online portfolios. Beginning with the class of 2021, all high school students are required to create a website to showcase their best work.
Students work with their Advisement teacher to keep the portfolio up to date through the end of their senior year, when they formally present their portfolio to a panel for review. The presentation typically results in a recommendation that the student receive the Diploma of International Studies, which becomes part of the portfolio.

The World Economic Forum in Davos is not just a get-together of leading politicians and managers. Organizations like Amnesty International are also piping up - with scathing criticism.
"Davos can not afford to be a complacent club for the rich and powerful of this world," says Salil Shetty, Secretary General of Amnesty International. Shetty is calling for a demonstration in Davos with the slogan, "Keep companies on a tight leash!"
Nongovernmental organizations (NGO) have adopted a new self-confidence at this year's forum in the Swiss Alps, and are making sure their topics are on the agenda.
"The governments must take responsibility," demands Shetty, adding "the activities of large corporations must be regulated."
Shetty does not mince his words when it comes to criticizing the practices of large companies. He blames them for the current economic crisis, which has forced an additional 50 million people below the poverty line. The managers gathered in Davos are feeling the pressure.
Are companies acting responsibly?
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL), a global consultancy with around 180,000 employees, has presented a new study on the influence of corporations on the economy and society. According to DTTL's findings, most managers are convinced that their company is making an important contribution to society.
However, the authors of the study also point out that communication must be improved.
"Actually most companies are already making an important contribution to society and progress," says Heather Hancock, Managing Partner of DTTL. "Companies create sustainable growth, they also ensure there is enough food to meet the rising population or enough homes and modern transport." Hancock maintains that the economy has the necessary muscle to tackle these important issues.
Profit is not everything
"The greed of corporations has become more important than responsible and transparent dealings," counters Sahil Shetty of Amnesty. He wants the politicians to force stricter regulation on large corporations as part of their response to the crisis.
But how do young people feel about this debate? The DTTL study also specifically targeted the younger generation: 1,000 so-called "Millenials," or people born after 1981, and currently working for Deloitte. They say personal responsibility, corporate responsibility and the social responsibility towards must go hand in hand. The value of a company must not merely be measured by its profits but also by the nature of its contributions to society.

In many parts of the world, bribery is just a part of doing business. A new study by Transparency International shows Russian and Chinese companies pay kickbacks regularly, while German firms are cleaning up their acts. (02.11.2011)
Corruption is a fact of life throughout European corporations, and experts believe it gets worse when times are tough. A new study shows improvement in Germany, but an overall acceptance throughout the continent. (20.07.2011)

Here at Treehouse Logic we talk to a lot of start-ups that are betting on the design-your-own business model. We're seeing some major shifts in shopping behavior, most of which are discussed in this blog.
Albert Wenger of Union Square Ventures probably explains this phenomenon of mass customization the best: "We're pretty convinced that mass-market consumer products are now so cheap and widely available that they've lost a lot of their appeal. We think people are looking for something unique and customizable. We're interested in the social fabric — bringing people together that design things, and people who want to buy them. Mass produced goods are dominated by a few large brands. But everywhere you look there are movements seeking to bypass those brands, whether it's the locavore movement in food, or something such as NikeID, which has seen double-digit growth year over year."
So how can new entrants to the customization market build businesses that focus on providing something unique and customizable, as well as tap into the power of the social fabric of designers and buyers? Here are a few tips for up-and-coming custom product vendors:
Don't repeat the mistakes of past customization businesses
About 10-12 years ago we started seeing the first consumer-facing visual configurators. Nike ID, Dell.com, and Timbuk2 were pioneers of the design-your-own movement. What worked for them? What didn't work? Why did Levi's drop their customization program? Why did Dell give up on customization? A lot has changed in both shopping behavior and web technology in the last decade, so be sure to learn from others mistakes, and don't replicate them. Do your homework and focus on creating a NEW spin on customization that is innovative, simple, and core to your business model.
Build the brand first
Your value proposition has to be much more than "have it your way." You need a brand story that resonates with your customer. Instead of customization itself, focus on what your core product values are, for example; product quality, locally made, sustainable, fashionable, built-to-order within a week, etc. Yes, design-it-yourself is a selling point, but your customers don't buy from you because your products are custom, they buy from you because your products are what they want.
Consider avoiding the 'custom' term altogether. The term 'custom' can imply difficult-to-make and expensive. Eventually, all products will include some level of mass customization.
Focus on product quality
Users are taking a big leap of faith by buying your products online. Don't let customizability get in the way of product quality. Highlight your product with high res photos. If you're going to differentiate from commodity products you need to stand out in quality and design. Luxury brands like Burberry use customization as an engagement tool that helps build their luxury brand. "Honestly it makes no difference at all" how many custom coats Burberry sells, Ms. Ahrendts says. "It's customer engagement. You want them to engage with the brand."
Launching a customization program is a lot more involved then just bolting a build-your-own feature onto a website that features mostly "standard" products. How do you plan to stand out?
Look for more best practices in future posts…

In GeoNet, when I set up a new Discussion and try to pick a Group through "In a Place" and "Browse Places", the browse seems to only populate the Groups from A-G. Additionally, it is slow in the populating A through G - a few seconds will go by before I can scroll down and see more, until it eventually just stops at the groups starting with G. This issue occurs on both Internet Explorer 11 and Firefox 41.0.2
How does one load the rest of the available groups in the list? Is this a Jive issue? Timothy Hales

Deaf and hard of hearing individuals often use relay services – IP, video, or TTY – to communicate with hearing people at businesses or organizations. However, certain businesses reject or hang up on phone calls that come to them via relay services.
We want to learn which businesses are rejecting relay calls, which is where you come in.
Once we learn which businesses are doing this, we will attempt to teach them that the ADA requires them to accept relay calls just like customer calls made from voice lines. If that doesn't work, we may bring a lawsuit to correct the violation.

San Antonio's utility hits usage record with cold snap
San Antonio's city-owned utility hit an hourly usage record Wednesday morning as homeowners and businesses cranked up heaters to cope with the cold snap.
The demand broke a record that dates back to a February 2011 winter storm that sent rolling power outages across the state.
Statewide power usage also broke records Wednesday.
CPS Energy said customers used 4,300 megawatts of electricity between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. Wednesday morning, as temperatures hovered in the low-20s.
That usage exceeded the more than 4,169 megawatts San Antonians used in a single hour on Feb. 2, 2011, as much of Texas was gripped in a freeze that stretched from Dallas to Brownsville.
Spokesman Jonathan Tijerina said more than 5,000 megawatts of thermal power plants — those that run on coal and natural gas — were available. CPS also has more than 1,000 megawatts available from the South Texas Nuclear Project Electric Generating Station in addition to renewable resources, which reportedly made up less than 15 percent of generation during Wednesday's peak.
"We're running everything. We're running our plants - nothing is holding back," Tijerina said. "We're running plants to make sure we meet the needs of what we're obligated to produce for our side and then whatever we can do to help the rest of the grid."
Energy usage across the Electric Reliability Council of Texas' region — which covers 90 percent of the state's electric grid — also set a winter hourly record between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. Wednesday at a preliminary reading of 62,885 megawatts. That beat the previous record usage of 59,650 megawatts set between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. Jan. 6, 2017.
There was enough capacity to handle the power spike. At the peak Wednesday, ERCOT showed it had more than 69,000 megawatts of power online.
A cold system has gripped much of the United States while a large system being called a "bomb cyclone" is set to hit the East Coast later this week.
In San Antonio the weather is expected to remain cold through Friday, with lows of 35 and 39 degrees expected. Temperatures could rise into the 50s on Saturday, while the Sunday high is expected to be 67 degrees and the low will be 48.

Top 10 reviews of 2008
Here's our run down of the top 10 reviews of the past 12 months.
Let's get it out of the way straight away shall we? The iPhone 3G was the biggest product of the year. Even though it was the second time around for the iPhone, the launch was even bigger than the original. This was despite the fact that aside from the arrival of 3G, there wasn't a lot new added to the hardware and most of the improvements came from the 2.0 software, which added Exchange support and the ability to add third-party applications via Apple's App store.
Even the lack of some seemingly basic mobile phone features such as MMS and copy and paste haven't been enough to spoil the party and the iPhone 3G rides high as the technology event of the year.
Asus started the ball rolling in 2007 with the launch of the first Eee PC, but netbooks really hit their stride in 2008. Indeed, at the beginning of the year the term netbook had still to establish itself as an umbrella term for these small, light, sub notebooks that had just enough power to run a full operating system, be it Linux or Windows XP.
The MSI Wind introduced a 10in screen, fine build quality, a decent - if not quite perfect - keyboard, and Intel's Atom N270 running at 1.6GHz powering along Windows XP with help from 1GB of RAM. Storage is provided by an 80GB conventional disk- and there's nothing wrong with that. Staying power on the standard battery was a little lacking, but overall it was enough to show that netbooks could be a sensible and realistic choice for viewing content on the move.
Windows Server 2008 was a landmark release for Microsoft. Forget all the trials and tribulations of Vista, this was a release that demanded the attention of the enterprise world. A component based architecture, enabling more lightweight and resource efficient deployments was central to its philosophy, with Microsoft looking to distance itself from the bloatware reputation that its previous server products were saddled with.
Indeed, a standard base install of Server 2008 offers almost no functionality, requiring you to choose roles to add, and an entirely GUI free version of the product is avaiable too. Virtualisation is also integral to the product, especially since Microsoft released Hyper V.
The appearance of Google Chrome on the scene took almost everyone by surprise. Google releasing a browser is big news but the fact that its existence hadn't even hit the rumour-mill was an achievement in itself.
Even better was that the browser itself was very good indeed. It was noticeably faster than Firefox and stable too. This was thanks to its use of a separate process for each tab, so if any one crashed it wouldn't take any others down with it. We also liked the clean interface and the simplicity of the single search/address bar. As it comes out of beta next year, the sheen from Google Chrome is likely to get even brighter.
5.Boston 3000GP - AMD Shanghai Server
For AMD, a successful launch of its latest server processor 'Shanghai' was crucial. It had been losing out to Intel for some time in the desktop space, and holding on to its server market share would be very important. Shanghai was also its first 45nm part, so a lot could go wrong. Fortunately for the company, the launch went smoothly and the part soon found its way into a review system that thoroughly impressed our erstwhile Dave Mitchell. Job done.
