The Oleochemicals business unit is a key unit in Kao's global business. In Europe, the main families of products made and marketed are fatty alcohols and fatty amines.
The Fatty alcohols can be used directly, in formulations for personal care or hygiene products, or indirectly as intermediate products in other applications.
The amines may be primary, secondary, tertiary, diamines or polyamines. The primary and secondary amines can be used as such in fields like minerals flotation or fertiliser, although usually, are used as intermediate products that are ethoxilated, acidulated or quaternized for use as emulsifiers, dispersing agents and anti-static agents in various industrial applications.
Diamines and polyamines are used as corrosion inhibitors or adhesivity activators in asphalt emulsions, and also as intermediate products or, in the form of salts, as pigment dispersant.
Tertiary amines are worth noting as they are always used as intermediate products which, after being quaternized, oxidated or carboxymethylated, are converted into a wide range of surfactants that are used in different applications such as hair conditioners, desinfectants, wood-preserving agents, stabilizer in thickening agents in extreme pH conditions, production of organophyllic bentonites, fabric softener.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Excel 2013 and Excel 2010 offer a Diagram View in PowerPivot that isn't generally well known beyond the community of BI professionals and Excel power users. In Diagram View, database tables appear as tables in PowerPivot, complete with referential integrity. If you have Excel 2010, you'll need to download and install SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 PowerPivot for Excel 2010. Although the name suggests that your data source must be SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1, that is not the case. It works with a variety of data sources as shown below.
When you use PowerPivot, you are bringing data from your data source into Excel. You'll need enough memory and disk space for the data you are working with. If your data changes on the server, you can refresh the data because the Excel file is both a local repository of the data as well as a set of rules on how you've decided to present and manipulate your data. You can share the Excel file with others and they can connect to the data source and refresh the workbook with the latest data whenever they want.
For certain power users and business analysts, it makes far more sense to give them Excel's PowerPivot to analyze their data than making them learn SQL and use SSMS or SSDT.
Here are the steps to connect to a data source (SQL Server in this example, but it could another data source) and view the data in Diagram View. Begin by selecting the DATA tab in Excel, then use From Other Sources to select your data source.
NOTE: Some of the screen captures are annotated in blue because it is a safe color to use with all forms of color blindness.
Figure 1. Use From Other Sources on the DATA tab to select your data source.
Make a connection to your data source using whatever credentials are required. In this example, the local SQL Server was used. Notice that a single dot (e.g. period) was used instead of an actual server name because a single dot defaults to the local server.
Figure 2. Connecting to the local SQL Server using a dot instead of specifying the server name.
To show the relationships between tables in your PowerPivot diagram, you must check Import relationships between select tables. How many tables you can select depends on the quantity of data and the amount of free memory on your local machine where you are running Excel. If you click the Select Related Tables button, you might bring in more data than your machine can handle.
Figure 3. How to specify the tables you want in your PowerView diagram. Notice there are 5 steps to follow.
Remember that you are saving both data and the rules you specified when creating your workbook. You should write a meaningful description so that the purpose of the workbook is clear.
Figure 4. Enter a meaningful description.
Specify Table in the Import Data dialog box so that your data source's tables are instantiated as tables in Excel.
Figure 5. Select Table in the Import Data dialog box.
If your machine doesn't have the capacity to handle all of the data you've specified, you'll receive an error message similar to the following:
Figure 6. To show you what happens when too much data is required, the Select Related Tables button shown earlier was clicked.
After the data source's tables are downloaded into table structures in Excel (notice that each table has its own tab or worksheet in Excel), click the POWERPIVOT tab in Excel and then click Manage to start PowerPivot.
Figure 7. First click the POWERPIVOT tab and then click Manage.
A new PowerPivot window appears. Click Diagram View to show the tables and their relationships.
Figure 8. Click Diagram View on the PowerPivot window.
Keep in mind that the diagram is of the local copies of the tables in Excel, not the originals on the server. The copies of the tables in Excel have the same referential integrity (relationships) that they have in the original data source.
Figure 9. Diagram View in PowerPivot.
Excel has many features to help you manipulate and analyze data. Use the right tool for the job. Sometimes Excel is a far better data analysis tool than SSMS and T-SQL.

Here's some news that'll make you say "jeah"!
Ryan Lochte, Olympic gold medalist and Internet sensation, is set to make his acting debut with a guest-starring role on the CW's 90210, CBS Television Studios confirms. Looks like that move to L.A. is already paying off!
So who is the swimmer playing? Himself!
U.S. & World
Check out 14 reasons why we love Ryan Lochte
Playing himself, the aquatic superstar will turn up as a guest at a resort where the recently-reunited Naomi and Max are staying in an attempt to strengthen their relationship.
Yes, Lochte will cross paths with recently reunited couple Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) and Max (Josh Zuckerman) at a resort, where they are attempting to strengthen their relationship. Maybe Lochte could offer up some pointers?
"When we found out Ryan Lochte was going to be in town and might appear on 90210, we felt like we'd won a gold medal! Team USA are all-stars in our book, and we're so excited he's making an appearance on the show," executive producers Patti Carr and Lara Olsen said in a statement. "We only wish the episode was a surf event so we could have gotten him in the water, but he deserves a little rest on dry land."
Lochte's episode is set to air on Oct. 29, while the show's fifth season premieres Monday, Oct. 8. TVLine first reported the news of Lochte's casting.
The 28-year-old recently expressed his interest in TV...reality TV, that is. "I'm definitely looking towards Dancing With the Stars and The Bachelor, so we'll see what happens," Lochte said during his appearance on Today.
While 90210 is Lochte's first role on the small screen, he recently poked fun at himself in a Funny or Die video with Simon Pegg and Sir Patrick Stewart.
Playing himself, the aquatic superstar will turn up as a guest at a resort where the recently-reunited Naomi and Max are staying in an attempt to strengthen their relationship. Lochte -- who made his debut as a thesp last week in two Funny or Die videos -- has been vocal about his desire to take on Hollywood after his strong showing at the 2012 London Games. However, his interests initially seemed to be of the reality variety, with the swimmer naming both Dancing With the Stars and The Bachelor as dream projects.

A group of websites are banding together to offer a $99-a-month local ad service to battle Google's increasingly local advertising. The websites, which include AOL, Yelp, MapQuest, CityGrid and Yellowbook, all have local content and need local ad dollars to survive. They have partnered with Yext, which sells online advertising and reputation-management services, to provide their Yext Tags -- a small tag that adds information, deals or messages about a business across a dozen sites -- and Yext pockets about half the revenue from the $99 ad service.
Since this summer, Google has been charging businesses $25 a month to add a photo, coupons or menus to their Google search results and localized sites are worried they could lose rising local ad dollars. According to the WSJ:
Local businesses will spend about $13.6 billion on online ads this year. That could rise to $16 billion in 2011, according to research firm Borrell Associates Inc. The local online-ad market grew 2.3% from 2009 to 2010.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"I don't want to use the 'G' word, but there is a single large entity that starts with a 'G' and ends with an 'E' and has an 'oogl' in the middle," says Mike Wilson, vice president of digital at Yellowbook. "If you look at them as a sun, everything starts to gravitate around them. It really doesn't have to be like that from the advertisers' perspective."'

It's mid April and although Spring officially began a few weeks ago, Chicago's weather didn't get the message. We woke up to snow this morning and it's making me wish more and more for warm, sunny days and time spent outside. Here are some beautiful outdoor spa spaces to get my mind off our wintery morning, and to inspire your dream spa.
The Nusa Dua Westin Resort in Bali outdoor massage pagodas. The warm orange massage bedding really adds drama to this already beautiful space.
The Mykonos Grand in Greece at sunset.
This massage room at the Four Season Koh Samui in Thailand blends nature with their interior with tall open windows overlooking the forest. The combination leaves the space feeling private and warm, while still having the airiness of the outdoors.
I couldn't help but share this beautiful outdoor bath at the Madikwe Hills Private Lodge in Africa. Kick back, relax, and wait for an elephant to stroll by!
Meditation space at the Blue Palace Elouda Spa in Crete, Greece.
I also had to share this amazing lounge area at the Blue Palace in Crete. Such a striking architectural space, you'll feel like you're sipping wine with the gods at this Grecian retreat.

About West Vail
Occupying a wider swath of the Valley than the Villages and East Vail, West Vail offers distinctly different environments on its northern and southern hillsides. The south side features lush wooded alpine terrain interspersed with meadows while the more exposed north side offers dramatic views and an abundance of sunshine year round. Divided into several neighborhoods, the area has a commercial center with groceries, shops, and restaurants and a close knit mix of locals and second home owners. Properties in West Vail range from simple condominiums to elegant single-family homes, all of which are a quick 5-10 minute Town shuttle away from the heart of the Village.

While we were busy running the Fontlympics out of the San Francisco office of FontShop, our Berlin colleague, Lucy, traveled to London to witness the real games. Lucy was kind enough to take some shots of the typography she spotted.
As expected, Gareth Hague's custom typeface, Headline 2012, dominates the signage, though a bit surprisingly even shows up on the jumbotron (below) in animated LED form. It wouldn't be a British event without Johnston making an appearance on the wayfinding signage (above). Just as likely, Gill Sans Ultra Bold finds its way onto the daily program, but the Germans do manage to sneak in with some Futura (below).
Did you go to the London 2012 games? What typefaces did you spot?

"I have stayed in quite a few serviced apartments in HYD during my previous visits to the city but Olive was the only one that gave me an actual individual apartment. The others had shared rooms in a flat with common kitchen unlike the individual non-sharing Studios at Olive. I would definitely be staying with you again and have also recommended our HYD office to sign you up as a vendor."

A Sandwich a Day: The Hot Pork with Spinach from Lenny's Home Plate in Philadelphia
A different sandwich profiled every single day.
In this great country of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Any town that specializes in slow-roasting one of my favorite meats (hello, pork) and combining it with one of my favorite vegetables (hello, broccoli rabe) and favorite cheeses (hello, sharp provolone) into a sandwich, is good in my book. Lenny's Home Plate is pretty far from South Philly, but they still make a killer South Philly-style hoagie.
The meat—nicely fatty pork loin—is shaved ultra thin and cooked to that point that it's still rosy pink but the fat has started to completely melt, keeping everything nice and lubricated. Unfortunately, they'd already run out of broccoli rabe (understandably) so I settled for its slightly inferior stand-in, garlicky braised spinach.
No worries there. Even without the bitter bite of the rabe, the spinach did its job nicely, namely to add a bit more cooking liquor to the mix, as well as making the sandwich seem just a bit more healthy. There aren't enough cities in the world where braised greens make regular appearances in sandwiches (are there even any?). It's a serious issue, and if I ever run for World Sandwich Czar, I plan on basing my platform around this.
What's New On Serious Eats
Regular provolone is fine, but it's worth the extra buck (the base sandwich is a very reasonable $5.70) to upgrade to the sharp provolone.
I tried calling the restaurant a half dozen times in the past week only to receive a robotic answering machine message, so I haven't been able to confirm exactly where they get their hoagie rolls, but sources indicate Sarcone's Bakery. Regardless of the actual provenance of the rolls, they're great. Just crusty enough with a slightly chewy, slightly sweet crumb.
Alright, you brotherly lovers. If your comments on my cheesesteak experience at Dalessandro's is any indication, you're pretty darn passionate about your sandwiches, and once again, your collective knowledge is far greater than my limited Philly experience.
So tell me: Who makes the best hot roast pork sandwich in Philadelphia? Did I get a good'un?

This paper grew out of an interesting collaboration with some physicians at the University of California, San Francisco and San Francisco General Hospital, initially through a meeting between Dr. Geoffrey Manley, Dr. Robert Knight, and I. Dr. Manley has recently published several papers on the clinical benefits of performing a decompressive hemicraniectomy on people who have had some kind of head trauma. To give a little bit of a background, a decompressive hemicraniectomy is a surgical procedure in which the surgeon actually removes a large part of the skull (see the picture at the right) after someone has had head trauma that has caused the pressure inside the skull to increase. This can happen in a few ways, but basically, because the head is an enclosed system, if the brain swells arteries can get pressed closed. This can cut off the blood supply to different brain areas. The swelling can also cause the brain to press down onto the brainstem which can lead to coma or death.
These folks go without a big piece of their skull for several months. If you're paying attention, that means... yes... there's not a whole lot protecting their brains. As you could imagine most of them wear helmets during this time. Also, some of them actually have the piece of their own skull surgically placed inside their abdomen so that the skull tissues can be kept alive before the get their skull surgically put back in!
Working with these patients gave us a unique opportunity as cognitive neuroscientists. Most of my research uses EEG to examine attention and memory processes. One of the things about EEG is that you can't accurately locate where in the brain something is happening, but you can know when it happens with excellent accuracy. However, because these patients literally have a window onto the brain we can get a much better idea of where the signal we're recording is coming from. And, for a variety of reasons, the signal quality is better over this window.
Our lab does a lot of work with humans who have had electrodes surgically implanted directly onto their brains (I'll write a more in-depth post about this topic in the near future when one of my papers on this topic is published). Because of this I see a lot of really clean data from the intracranial recordings that looks much better than the data we see in normal scalp EEG. So we decided to try and quantify these differences to a certain extent, and thus ran this study.
So in this paper we set out to quantify how the brain signals we record in EEG are different between the side of the head with the skull and the side of the head without. And because the signal quality is better, we can do a few cool things with it... like predicting when a person squeezes their hand just by looking at the brain signal.
It was a fun project, but a bit tricky to run.

|=== Questions to ask in an interview ===
Easy-to-ask, revealing-to-answer questions for you to take with you to an interview:
1. What's the biggest change your group has gone through in the last year? Does your group feel like the tough times are over and things are getting better, or are things still pretty bleak? What's the plan to handle to either scenario?
2. If I get the job, how do I earn a "gold star" on my performance review? What are the key accomplishments you'd like to see in this role over the next year?
3. What's your (or my future boss') leadership style?
4. About which competitor are you most worried?
5. How does sales / operations / technology / marketing / finance work around here? (I.e., groups other than the one you're interviewing for.)
6. What type of people are successful here? What type of people are not?
7. What's one thing that's key to this company's success that somebody from outside the company wouldn't know about?
8. How did you get your start in this industry? Why do you stay?
9. What are your group's best and worst working relationships with other groups in the company? What are the pain points you have to deal with day-to-day?
10. What keeps you up at night? What's your biggest worry these days?
11. What's the timeline for making a decision on this position? When should I get back in touch with you?
12. These are tough economic times, and every position is precious when it comes to the budget. Why did you decide to hire somebody for this position instead of the many other roles / jobs you could have hired for? What about this position made you prioritize it over others?
13. What is your reward system? Is it a star system / team-oriented / equity-based / bonus-based / "attaboy!"-based? Why is that your reward system? What do you guys hope to get out of it, and what actually happens when you put it into practice? What are the positives and the negatives of your reward system? If you could change any one thing, what would it be?
14. What information is shared with the employees (revenues, costs, operating metrics)? Is this an "open book" shop, or do you play it closer to the vest? How is information shared? How do I get access to the information I need to be successful in this job?
15. If we are going to have a very successful year in 2015, what will that look like? What will we have done over the next 6 months to make it successful? How does this position help achieve those goals? (This question helps show your ability to look beyond today's duties to the future more than a year away.)
16. How does the company / my future boss do performance reviews? How do I make the most of the performance review process to ensure that I'm doing the best I can for the company?
17. What is the rhythm to the work around here? Is there a time of year that it's "all hands on deck" and we're pulling all-nighters, or is it pretty consistent throughout the year? How about during the week / month? Is it pretty evenly spread throughout the week / month, or are there crunch days?
18. What type of industry / functional / skills-based experience and background are you looking for in the person who will fill this position? What would the "perfect" candidate look like? How do you assess my experience in comparison? What gaps do you see?
19. What is your (or my future boss') hiring philosophy? Is it "hire the attitude / teach the skills" or are you primarily looking to add people with domain expertise first and foremost?
20. In my career, I've primarily enjoyed working with big / small / growing / independent / private / public / family-run companies. If that's the case, how successful will I be at your firm?
21. Who are the heroes at your company? What characteristics do the people who are most celebrated have in common with each other? Conversely, what are the characteristics that are common to the promising people you hired, but who then flamed out and failed or left? As I'm considering whether or not I'd be successful here, how should I think about the experiences of the heroes and of the flame-outs?

Would you like to start your future now, or just maybe think about it later and coast? Make something now or wait until say graduate school or some postgraduate employment. You have the tools and resources you need to explore the notion of developing your OWN ideas and even starting and running your own company while at UW-Madison. Physicists and hardware makers have a special role to play. Let's get started.
Why think about entrepreneurship
"Entrepreneurship will create a better world. It's not just about new company, capital, and job formation, nor innovation, nor creativity, nor breakthroughs. It is also about fostering an ingenious human spirit and improving humankind." - Jeffry A. Timmons (1941-2008) Founded Price-Babson SEE in 1984
"Turns out for many, identifying as an entrepreneur is less important than identifying with the entrepreneurship path. It's critical that people see the creation of their own opportunities as a viable and attainable possibility for themselves." The Babson Entrepreneur Experience Lab aims to address these issues by focusing on the realities of entrepreneurship today through the lens of entrepreneurs themselves.

To quantitative people, yes, your education and importantly your experience of all kinds matters
Whether you become an entrepreneur or intrapreneur, a sense of your value is important. Consider INSIGHT data science fellowship pitch to hard science and other folks moving from academia to the private sector: "The Insight Data Science Fellows Program... takes scientists from academia and in six weeks prepares them to succeed as data scientists. The program combines mentoring by data experts from local companies (such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, and LinkedIn) with exposure to actual big data challenges. http://insightdatascience.com From their white paper: "Who are the best data scientists? According to DJ Patil, the former Chief Scientist at LinkedIn who co-coined the term data scientist and an Insight mentor and advisor, "the best data scientists tend to be 'hard scientists,' particularly physicists, rather than computer science majors. Physicists have a strong mathematical background, computing skills, and come from a discipline in which survival depends on getting the most from the data. They have to think about the big picture, the big problem8. " The same applies for any scientist whose work is highly quantitative, writes code or analyzes data, including PhDs in astronomy, astrophysics, physical chemistry, computational biology, and neuroscience as well as researchers in mathematics, statistics, engineering, machine learning, operations research, economics, quantitative social sciences and!other data-heavy fields."
Make a mission statement
Don't worry; this is really easy. First be inspired by Dilbert http://search.dilbert.com/comic/Mission%20Statement and then use this handy tool: http://www.lotta.se/mission-statement-generator/?dummy_value=223852226
Ha, ha. Just kidding. According to some, vision/goal is an important prerequisite, lasting forever, offering mountains/missions along an endless road, surmounted by strategies and tactics. Others ditch the mission idea and just go for 'mantra' like "Absolutely, positively the next day" (Fedex) and for an exit strategy.
Face reality and plan to stay informed too

VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) - The European Union and the U.S. are moving closer to resuming international talks with Iran on its disputed nuclear program, buoyed by recent changes in Tehran's leadership, officials said Friday.
'We are ready to come very quickly to talks,' said EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who has led negotiations with Iran in recent years over allegations it is seeking to build a nuclear weapons program. `'We really want to move now quickly to resolve this.'
President Barack Obama said the election of centrist Hasan Rouhani as Iran's president in June offers 'the opportunity to demonstrate in acts and not just words that ... they do not pursue nuclear weapons.'
French President Francois Hollande, who was in St. Petersburg with Obama for the Group of 20 summit, said 'we want to believe in the statements of the new president' who has sounded more conciliatory than his predecessor.
Rouhani confirmed Thursday that Iran's foreign ministry - led by Javad Zarif, a Western-educated diplomat - will direct nuclear talks with world powers, marking a shift away from the often more hawkish security officials who had previously set the negotiation strategy.
At a meeting of the EU's 28 foreign ministers in Vilnius, Ashton said she called Zarif and agreed to meet with him later this month on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York.
While it is assumed that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will have the last word on the nuclear issue, Rouhani was elected on the promise of getting rid of the international sanctions that are crippling Iran's economy. Analysts view the appointment of the foreign affairs ministry to lead the nuclear negotiations - instead of the Supreme National Security Council - as a sign that the new administration might be more willing to compromise with the West.
Iran denies any interest in nuclear weapons, insisting that both uranium enrichment and nuclear reactors are meant for peaceful purposes, such as production of energy and medical and scientific research. Since 2006, it has shrugged off numerous U.N. Security Council and other international sanctions meant to curb its nuclear activities, as well as incentives offered during international negotiations and aimed at the same goal.
Also Friday, the EU General Court said it would throw out penalties imposed on eight Iranian banks and businesses for their alleged ties to Iran's nuclear program, because there wasn't sufficient evidence to justify the sanctions imposed by the bloc.
The court said the sanctions will stay in place for at least two months pending any appeal. If an appeal is filed by an EU government, the sanctions would remain binding until a ruling.
But the court upheld sanctions on another Iranian bank because it continued to pay scholarships for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran. It also upheld sanctions against the Germany-based EIHB, or European-Iranian trade bank, leaving its funds frozen.
Overall though, the United States was disappointed with the ruling.
'The evidence linking these banks to Iran's illicit nuclear activities is clear and strong, and no financial institution anywhere should allow these Iranian banks to transact with them,' the U.S. Treasury said in a statement.
At the same time, the U.S. is expanding Iran sanctions to target a network allegedly helping the government evade measures aimed at curbing oil exports.
The Treasury accused Iran on Friday of using front companies, financial institutions and businessmen 'willing to engage in deceptive transactions to conceal the direct involvement' of the Tehran government in global oil transactions.
The U.S. says the new sanctions target the network of Seyed Seyyedi, an Iranian businessman and director of Sima General Trading, as well as a network of companies based in the United Arab Emirates that Seyyedi allegedly controls. They also target National Iranian Oil Company representatives in Europe.
The EU is one of Iran's most important trading partners. Since 2010, however, the bloc has imposed asset freezes and travel bans on top of existing U.N. sanctions, targeting Iranian citizens and companies believed to be linked to the country's nuclear program. The EU then significantly escalated the nuclear-related sanctions by 2012 to include an oil-import embargo.

Behavior Intervention
Individual work space
Individual work space
Why should I do it:
Helps students with poor attention and focus
Students with behavior problems can be more easily managed
Increases attending behaviors
Improves work production and listening
Minimizes distractions
When should I do it:
When a student is off task, inattentive, or distractible
When a student is acting out, disruptive, off task, talking, exhibiting outbursts, etc
When students are off task, talking out of turn, making noises, drawing attention to themselves, etc
How do I do it:
If you have study carrels or dividers, you may use these to create a work space for a student
Consider moving the student's desk near the teacher
Setting up books or strategically positioning the student near or around objects in the room can act as natural dividers, like tables, shelves, walls, etc.
You may set up a separate work space for a student in addition to their normal desk or seating location, for example at a table near the teacher
Students may do well with sound isolating earphones to block out sound in addition to an individual work space

text: Mixing boy band sensibilities with hip-hop influences, Rapsoul have distinguished themselves as Germany's leading male vocal trio. The group's two original members, Jan-Markus Färger and Steven Neumann, grew up together in Frankfurt, drawn together by their mutual love of music. As their interests turned to urban music, Färger began writing rap lyrics and Neumann composed tracks. The pair formed an official duo, Dreckskind und Pechvogel (Färger taking the moniker Dreckskind and Neumann performing as Pechvogel), releasing their debut EP, LebensArt, in April of 2004. As the duo performed more regularly, they became more connected with musicians in the region. They soon met vocalist C.J. Taylor, who they invited to join their group. With the addition of Taylor, the group was renamed Rapsoul. The group caught a break in 2005 when its remix of the Glashaus single "Du" was put on heavy rotation on the popular German station Planet Radio. An offer for a record deal with Gun Records (Sony/BMG) was quickly followed by an invitation to open for the Backstreet Boys on their tour of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Though the band's debut single, "Verzweifelt," tanked, peaking at number 23 on German charts, Rapsoul's subsequent single, "Gott Schenk Ihr Flügel," hit charts at number two, as did their debut record, Unbeschreiblich. Enjoying international popularity thanks to their association with the Backstreet Boys and a successful debut record, Rapsoul headlined their own tour in September of 2006. The band's 2007 release, Achterbahn, experienced similar initial chart success, followed by the Rapsoul Clubtour, which took the group through important nightclubs all over Germany. ~ Evan C.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Adrian Peterson's push for 2,000 yards rushing wouldn't happen without solid blocking in front of him.
Minnesota's offensive linemen, tight ends, fullbacks and wide receivers are well aware of Peterson's opportunity, and they're hoping it happens for him and for them. With a league-leading 1,600 yards, Peterson needs to average 134 yards over the last three games to become the seventh player in NFL history to reach the mark.
Fullback Jerome Felton might be the most unheralded of an already-under-the-radar group, since there aren't any official statistics for blocking. This is his first season with the Vikings. Felton says the chance to play with Peterson was what pushed him to sign with them.

Emmitt Smith Chats On Casting Football Players For Dancing With The Stars And More
Emmitt Smith tells the Huffington Post that he's "not upset, only disappointed" that he didn't win the All-Stars mirror-ball trophy. He also had some thoughts on casting future football players. For instance, below are his thoughts on Tim Tebow and Victor Cruz….
"I don't think Tim Tebow would kill it. I don't think he would do well on the dance floor. I think he would be limited. Victor Cruz might kill it. At least, he could salsa," says Emmitt.
Speaking of football players on the show more generally, Emmitt said, "It opens another level of exposure I wouldn't get from the game itself. When I was playing the game, I had a helmet on my head; people rarely saw my face. I think it's a smart business move, but at the end of the day, you have to have some of the same qualities. I'm known as a champion on the football field, I wanted to be known as a champion in the ballroom. So you don't want to just get in for the exposure, because you can be exposed positively or negatively."
So true!! That goes for everyone too not just football players. If a celeb is going to dance, do it for the love of dance, not just for exposure. Also, bring on VICTOR CRUZ! 😀
You can read more at the Huffington Post including Emmitt's thoughts on White dancers versus Black dancers.

Advice: Should I tell potential lovers I have herpes?
Dear Carolyn:
I have herpes. After a 15-year marriage, I was smug in thinking I was "clean." I found out after having Lover No. 2, realizing it wasn't safe out there and having every test done. Thing is, I think I've had it all along -- during my marriage -- and my doctor never tested for it, and it really didn't affect me, not even after having two kids.
I now take the pill the doctor prescribed as soon as I feel it coming on, and the outbreak goes away fast. The problem is Lover No. 2 found the prescription bottle, took pictures of it and blackmails me if I try to break up. Bad enough, I know, I'm getting rid of Lover No. 2.
My question is, something like 70 percent of people have this; I have a very mild version that occurs infrequently and is controllable; I know when it's coming and I can refrain from sex until it's gone. Do I have to tell right away? Lover No. 2 says yes, and I think you will, too, but I feel like if I have to say this at the beginning of a relationship I will probably never have sex, let alone a relationship, again. How do you say it? What if you only want a casual relationship? What if you want more and it's a nice guy who now thinks you're a slut?
-- Obviously Anonymous
Anyone who thinks you're a "slut" for having herpes is not a nice guy. That's the easiest point I'll ever get to make in this column. "Clean" is for clothes, not people.
Another point from the no-agonizing-necessary list: Yes, you must disclose. You may have a mild case and also "know when it's coming," and about 20 percent of the population has it, but -- quoting the American Social Health Association (www.ashastd.org, which also lists support resources):
"There are several days throughout the year when herpes can be spread even when no symptoms are present (called asymptomatic reactivation or asymptomatic shedding)."
For No. 2 to be surprised by your prescription bottle, he had to have been in the dark about your diagnosis. So wrong of you.
He reacted by charting new waters of wrong -- he belongs in a crime novel, not your bed -- but that doesn't mitigate in any way your failure to do the right thing by disclosing your condition.
Now, with No. 2 presumably gone by the time this column appears, here's what you do from now on: Date as always. Your duty to disclose kicks in after you've made the decision to have sex and before you have sex.
Yes, some people will leave you for it. There's no way around it, and, yes, it will be more painful to lose someone you've gotten to know than someone you just met.
But your health isn't your dates' business until you get close enough for it to be their business. It is merely an added bonus that, once you do get to know a man, you're likely to have formed a decent hunch about how he'll receive your news -- and just having that in mind will help you screen out the shaming type before things even get that far. Herpes is a deterrent, yes, but it also works as a screen.

Miranda Lambert: St. Jude 'Feeds Your Soul'
For Miranda Lambert, the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is a place of hope. She's certainly not alone in that belief. The millions of people who've been touched by the world famous medical research facility will agree, as will dozens of other country stars. For 25 years, country artists have led the fundraising charge for this world-class facility.
"It's such a great experience," Lambert tells Taste of Country, remembering her first visit to St. Jude. She was a new artist, but has looked for more ways to help since.
"It sounds weird to say that, but it's such an uplifting place," she adds. "It feeds your soul."
During her second visit to St. Jude in 2008, Lambert colored with patients and proudly displayed the finished masterpieces. Later, she met with a patient in isolation, first putting on a sterilized mask, gown and gloves so she could enter safely. "It was fun," she said at the time. "He put on a mask, too, when we had our picture taken together."
Today (March 6) and Friday, Taste of Country is pressing pause on coverage of all but the most pressing news stories in an effort to raise money for St. Jude. For 25 years, country radio, artists and record labels have helped raise more than $500 million, ensuring that no one ever pays a dime for treatment at St. Jude.
"No child should die in the dawn of life," founder Danny Thomas once said. Help make that wish a reality by making a donation or becoming a Partner in Hope when you click the button below. Donations can be made by phone at 800-411-9898.
