Street Drum Corps Spreads Its Wings On Tenth Anniversary
The guys in Street Drum Corps are celebrating their tenth anniversary by performing for troops in the middle east.
Street Drum Corps would have to be invented if they did not exist. The band, founded by Bobby and Adam Alt and Frank Zummo, started banging on found objects in LA more than a decade ago, looking for an outlet for their work. When they landed a gig at Magic Mountain theme park they had no idea they would one day spread across the country and the world by franchising their act and inspirational style of music making. Mixing equal parts precision drum corps, street art, and post-apocalyptic Mad Max style, SDC has grown into a coast-to-coast entertainment machine, playing stage shows, arena, fairs, private parties, and concerts. This fall, you'll see their Blood Drums performances, timed to coincide with Halloween fright-night activities, taking place in several cities. We caught their Lost At Sea production at the Santa Cruz, California boardwalk in August, and then talked with Frank Zummo of Street Drum Corps this month, by email. Frank was in the Middle East on a tour to visit and perform for US troops.
DRUM! This is the tenth anniversary of SDC. I know you have a CD out and want to talk about that. But a big story is the way you've expanded SDC as a franchise and as a drumming entertainment vehicle. How many franchises do you have now?
Zummo Yes, we just released a special 10th anniversary recording. This 15 track-CD goes through our ten-year recording history. We currently have 10 troupes across the US & Canada performing many residencies at theme Parks, boardwalks and fairs. They also perform one-off's at festivals, sporting events & private events.
DRUM! How did you get started in franchising?
Zummo Ten years ago when we started, our first account was a summer residency at Six Flags Magic Mountain. In the middle of our residency, we got a call from our dear friends in the band The Used. They asked us to be their main support & intro to their huge US & Canadian Arena tour. We couldn't pass this up and had a chat with Magic Mountain management. They understood we couldn't pass up this huge opportunity. They were supportive and told us to take it. They said they could find another drum group to replace us or we could find and train our own replacements and keep an SDC group at the park. At that moment we thought that was genius and hence the franchise was born.
DRUM! Do drummers and groups approach you or do you find them?
Zummo We constantly get submissions from drummers year round. There's a ton of amazing talent out there. Some of our drummers have been constantly working with us for the past ten years.
DRUM!You had a great show in Santa Cruz this year, talk about that?
Zummo This summer we debuted a brand new production called Street Drum Corps' Lost At Sea. The show ran all summer on the main stage at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. This was our biggest production to date with a huge stage set. We also branched out and added other amazing artists to this production. The show featured 3 drummers, 4 dancer/acrobatics performers and a fire performer.
DRUM! How much control do you have over these shows around the world? Artistic Control? Financial control?
Zummo We have 100 percent control over every production. When a client hires our company, we cast the show locally and then one of the SDC owners heads to that city and trains, produces and directs the cast and crew. We oversee everything from costumes to stage set.
DRUM! Give us an idea of what the Halloween shows this year will be like?
ZummoThis is our biggest and proudest franchise production and accomplishment. Our Street Drum Corps' Blood Drums show has been running for the past five years across the US & Canada. The shows perform at huge Halloween events and theme parks. This year we have six productions going out. The shows will be performing at: Rob Zombie's Great American Nightmare in Arizona and Illinois; Los Angeles' Haunted Hayride; Dorney Park in Pennsylvania; Kings Dominion in Virginia; and Kings Island in Ohio. We will have 24 drummers working this Halloween season. All cast members are local. That is something we are really proud of, that we can hire local drummers to have an amazing job for the Fall season.
DRUM! What about outreach? You are spreading the word for drums wherever you go. Do you see that as your role?
Zummo We defiantly have the responsibly to spread the word and keep the drums alive. We do many outreach performances at colleges, camps and universities from ages 4 and up. It's always amazing to speak at these events and discuss art, drums, music and the business.
DRUM! What's the toughest aspect of being an SDC drummer/performer? What do you work on with these drummers?
Zummo Being an SDC performer is like being a lead singer. Our performers aren't tucked in the back of stage and hidden behind a drum set. They are characters and running all over the stage and being an absolute entertainer. It always takes a second to break down that wall and have them let loose. Once they do, it's a really magical moment and transformation. Then them adapting to performing on these unique found items and learning how to use an angle grinder as an instrument. There is a lot choreography and this show takes a lot of endurance as it's very high energy.

- Favorite Place for Sunday BrunchgoldenoldieDined on 9/7/2014We took out of town visitors to the Inn for Sunday brunch. Since they had never been there before, we asked for a window table when we made the reservation. We were graciously accommodated. The restaurant was very busy, but we were seated promptly. We had a very friendly and efficient waitress. Our guests marveled at the extensive array of food available. After surveying the many choices, they had made to order omelettes and savored every bite. Their second round was the dessert table. So many choices - decisions, decisions, decisions. We were happy they enjoyed it so much because it is our favorite neighborhood restaurant.Special Features:

- Excellent LobsterLarryRVIPDined on 9/5/2014We have been here many times for Happy hour and also for lunch. This was the first time we did dinner and were not disappointed.

They also had a nice wine list that was reasonably priced as well as a nice selection of wines by the glass.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Chicken Pot Pie...the best aroundOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/4/2014My wife and I first visited the Smithville Inn around Christmas of 1963. We have continued throughout 51 years of marriage to enjoy this wonderful restaurant..... Our visits to this historic Inn and Restaurant never disappoint. The Smithville is one of the few remaining South Jersey restaurants which has withstood the test of time and continuously provide a menu with great choices, excellent food, good service and a memorable dining experience. Last Thursday, my wife and I both ordered and thoroughly enjoyed the Chicken Pot Pie...without a doubt, the best around. The addition of live diner entertainment (lounge singer and piano player) beginning early Thursday evening provided encouragement for us to stay a while...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FindMaureenVIPDined on 9/3/2014We were looking for a nice place for my birthday dinner. I had been here about fifty years ago with my grandparents. It is such a nice place so quaint and historic. The menu was great. I had shrimp with pasta and it was very good. The house salad is huge!! Enough to split and they even gave a piece of cake to the birthday girl.. Very enjoyable night and can't wait to go back. There is a village of shops so make it there early and finish with a nice dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Lobster SpecialNickletDined on 8/29/2014The Smithville Inn is a beautiful old restaurant. We chose to go with friends during the summer for the Friday night lobster special. One and a half pound lobsters are $20 and include salad, a baked potato and corn on the cob. It was excellent and very moist. We also had two pasta dishes - the braised short rib one and the shrimp aioli. Everything was delicious. We like this restaurant because they use vegetables that have been locally grown. An excellent value for your money.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific RestaurantLABATDined on 8/29/2014We have been to the Smithville Inn for both the Sunday brunch and the Friday Night $20 lobster special. We called ahead and asked for all four of our lobster dinners to be chilled. We arrived and as we were seated the waitress already knew that we had chilled dinners. The appetizers were terrific, the salad crisp and fresh, and the lobster dinner was perfect. I would highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and made to feel welcomeOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/27/2014Great food and we were made to feel welcome...

- OutstandingBeautifulVIPDined on 8/27/2014As always Smithville Inn is one of the best restaurants in South Jersey!!!!!!! You will not be disappointed!! Great food, great wine selections!Special Features:
- We have not eaten here for years.SuzegalVIPDined on 8/25/2014Service was friendly. Long time between courses, always with an excuse. We are not fussy eaters but have a major interest in fine dining. This is a very pretty place. It's an old fashioned restaurant. I haven't been to a restaurant in years that still offers a relish tray (apple butter, cottage cheese and cranberry). This was a very nice surprise. BUT-it took forever. I ordered Rack of Lamb medium rare ($36). It was well done! My husband's veal melanese was dry and inedible. Such a shame as it was very well presented. We did not want to order anything else. It had been 2.5 hours already. I declined a replacement. They comped us one dessert. There are so many restaurants around. We don't need to go there again.
- Charming Smithville InnKarenCDined on 8/23/2014The ambiance is quaint and comfortable elegance. Wait staff is outstanding. Will definitely come back and tell others. The village is perfect for walking after dining.Special Features:

- LarryJudyMdiningbliss1623Dined on 8/15/2014We enjoyed our lunch very much, our table faced a nice window with a nice view of greenery. Service was good. The waitress was pleasant and helpful. The online reservation application was easy to use and a prompt confirmation was issued to us.Special Features:
- very disappointedverydisappointedDined on 8/14/2014My daughter and I were quite disappointed with our meals. Both of us had a dish that I ncluded pasta or noodles and it seems as though they came out in a whole clump. My dish was not what I expected. I ordered Ahi tuna and it came out breaded and my daughter had a dish with shrimp ai oi and all she ate were the shrimp.Special Features:
- JB389Dined on 8/12/2014Server and manager very engaging. Took an international group of 7 there and everyone found something they could enjoy. Portions are very large!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Place was near empty ...Violoncelle74VIPDined on 8/11/2014thought maybe because later (8:30) on a Monday night. Our server was very pleasant. That was the high point. Fried heirloom tomatoes were pretty good. My son liked his peanut butter chocolate dessert and my wife thought the carrot cake was good. Not much else to recommend food wise. "Pork belly" was actually bacon. Duck confit was beyond dry and tough. Had fond memories from a visit 50 years earlier as a child. Sadly will not be returning.
- Smithville DiningGustaveDined on 8/9/2014We hadn't been at the Inn in a few years as everything we once loved about it changed when the casino's bought it. The table we were given was a scenic view of the pond and the interior of the inn was warm and rustic as we remembered. The serving staff was very attentive and warm. Every process was done with taste and decorum. The ladies of our party totally enjoyed their meal of the special panko encrusted salmon which was done to perfection. However the dinners served to the men were only fair. We ordered the shrimp and scallops over pasta. The three shrimp and three scallops did not warrant the price of the dish. The chef appears to concentrate on the specials and not the menu items. Overall the dinner was excellent.Special Features:
- getaway dinnerLoveFarmtoFork2Dined on 8/8/2014Spent a couple of nights at the Colonial Inn, had dinner one night at Smithville Inn. Hostess was prompt and very kind. Server was hospitable, knowledgeable and willing to help. Food was excellent. Had a nice leisurely dinner, never felt rushed and staff was very attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Dining ExperiencexxxxxxxxxxxxxDined on 8/8/2014Haven't been to Smithville Inn in some time. We both fancied Lobster and took advantage of the Friday Night offering of Lobster. We were both very pleased with the entire dinner right down to a fabulous dessert. We made a reservation, and I glad we did. The Dining Room was packed when we left. The service was super and even with a couple of drinks the bill was not bad. Will we come back again? You bet we will!Special Features:
- Nice eventOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/3/2014We celebrated a 70th birthday in the private room - the room was charming, food was great - but truly the service that stood out. Bobby was our server, and was on the mark throuhgout the event - including addressing all the challenges a one year old could muster up. Truly appreciate the personalized and professional service!Special Features:
- Friday night dinnerjbhomemaker1Dined on 8/1/2014My family and I came for dinner for the Friday lobstet dinner special which was delicious! I greatly appreciated that the body of the lobster was cut open horizontally so I only to crack the claws. The dinner came with a crisp, chilled garden salad and baked potato with sea-salted skin. My daughter's pot pie was large and tasty. The crust was flakey and flavorful. However, dumplings inside were a surprise she didn't like. My husband enjoyed large sea scallops over pasta. Our server was nice, but was tired from working all day. It was difficult for her to serve because our table was close to another on one side. She knocked my husband's full glass of water all over him. We did enjoy our window seat view of a fountain and pond.Special Features:
- Very nice lobster dinnerExcellentVIPDined on 8/1/2014My friend and I were very happy with our experience here. The food was very good. We might have waited a tiny bit too long for our dinner, but it was delicious. We've been there a few times and the food and service is always excellent. This was even more impressive because they also had a wedding taking place. There was a table with two young children making the usual noise and little mess, and the manager invited them to come visit again. The manager and our waiter constantly checked on us. Overall a nice experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

yay spiritualized. carry on with the bickering.
nvrmnd, u guise.
I'd love to see Low, but that response doesn't sound too promising. You'd think they'd know by now.
Monklish added 5 names, but I'm not gonna copy/paste and find different. Someone else do that
Don't know who they are.....
Dumb though..
October 2 - Beck
October 3-5 - Austin City Limits
October 10 - Bonobo
October 20 - Mastodon
October 23 - 26 - Housecore Horror Festival
October 29 - The Melvins
November 7-9 - Fun Fun Fun Fest
November 18 - Slayer
Sorry, I mean "Monklish took the most recent 5 names from this board"
Yeah I didn't even bother clicking on the link until after I had posted it. whoops!
I'm REALLY hoping for deadmau5. His innovative ideas and originality are second only Daft Punk. He deserves a main stage slot. If Daft Punk isn't booked, I think deadmau5 could be the first EDM artist to truly headline Coachella. I mean, he's probably top 5, maybe top 3 of all time.
yeeeaaaah, that would be great....
I get the joke, was just explaining.
Besides, I don't think any of you are funny enough to create then wear a PBC shirt anyways

Well in order for the PBC joke to come around, someone would have to wear a shirt at the festival.
Otherwise you aren't fully realizing the joke, just letting it hang in the air.

FastCap My Grip- Blue - QTY:1 - 9M857
Using only hot water (200º) and the My Grip handle material, you can mold any handle to the exact shape of your hand, making it more comfortable to hold for longer periods of time. Put My Grip on your hammer, saw, power tool, rake, bucket handles, luggage handles, knives, or even your golf club handles and absorb shock and reduce fatigue. Simply dip the My Grip material in the hot water for 1 – 2 minutes. Then, while it is soft, wrap it around the handle overlapping the edges and squeeze tightly – cools in minutes. Made a mistake? Don't worry, cut it off and start over – it's reusable! Includes textured wrap for extra gripping ability. Measures 5" x 5". Made in USA.

Coffee or tea is the first thing you want to take a sip of on a lazy Sunday morning, but it's the last thing you want to bother with if it gets cold. Vacuum flasks with glass or steel inserts keep your beverage hot for a long time, so you can stay in bed and keep your toes toasty too.

Energy meters
Most of us will be aware that the amount of gas and electricity we use is measured by meters, but not everyone is aware of how many different types of energy meter are available.
From standard to digital, dial and pre-payment meters, there are several different ways in which your gas and electricity usage can be measured.
Reading your meter regularly is essential, as this will help ensure you don't end up being under or overcharged for the energy you use, so it's important to familiarise yourself with the type of meter you have.
Here, we outline the various energy meters on offer and provide tips on how to read them...
Standard meters
Standard meters are generally known in technical terms as electromechanical induction meters. These count the number of revolutions on an aluminium disc which rotates at a speed that is proportional to the power used. Therefore, the number of revolutions indicates the energy used.
In order to read your electricity or gas meter you should read from left to right recording any black numbers and don't include any red numbers if present.
Digital meters
Digital meters are straightforward as all you need to do to take a reading is to read the first five figures on the digital display - but ignore a final figure if it begins with 0.1.
You may need to press a button to get the reading to display.
Dial meters
A dial meter usually comprises of six dials. These read from left to right.
You only need to read the first five dials - starting with the 10,000kWh dial on the left and stopping after the 1 kWh dial.
Ignore a final red dial if it is present. If the needle on the dial is positioned between two figures then it is the figure it has just past that should be recorded.
If the pointer on a dial falls between 9 and 0, reduce the reading already taken for the dial on the left by one - for example, if your original recorded 5, reduce this to 4.
Economy 7 meters
These are for people who are on Economy 7 tariffs who commit to using most of their energy at night when electricity costs less.
An Economy 7 meter will show both night and daytime readings although they can display these in different ways. Certain meters, for example, have two sets of numbers, while others have one set of numbers which is the 'day rate' and you will have to press a button to display the 'night rate.'
Prepayment meters
With a prepayment meter you pay upfront before you use any gas and electricity. Standard prepayment meters can come with a single or two-rate reading, similar to that of Economy 7.
You can top it up based on how much you wish to use.
Smart meters
Smart meters work using a wireless transmitter that is clipped between the fuse-box and the electricity meter. This transfers information to a wireless display which will tell you how much energy you are burning every second.
Smart meters enable you to take a meter reading remotely, so you don't have to rely on manual and estimated readings.
How to give your meter reading to your supplier
Most suppliers will enable to submit your meter readings online provided you have your account number and personal details to hand.
Alternatively, you can phone your supplier and give them your details that way.
What if you cannot read your energy meter
If you are physically unable to read your meter, for example because you are disabled, contact your gas and electric suppliers and ask if they can come and take a meter reading for you.
If you are of pensionable age, disabled, visually or hearing impaired or chronically sick, you are eligible for certain free services and protection too.
You should ask your supplier to let you join its Priority Services Register (PSR), which will mean you can get help and advice quickly from your energy company.
Whichever type of meter you have, it is essential that you don't end up paying more than you need to for your gas and electricity. You should regularly compare the different tariffs available to ensure you are on the best possible deal.
If you aren't happy with your existing energy meters, contact your existing supplier to see how much changing them will cost.

A Tweet becomes once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ballard mom
Tweeting may help you keep up on current issues or follow the shenanigans of celebrities, but it's not often attributed as helping people's dreams come true.
But that's exactly what happened to Ballard's Sharon Feliciano.
Feliciano was one of 30 Tweeters chosen from more than 600 applicants that NASA invited to visit the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Feliciano was the only person chosen from Washington to be able to see mission control in action, while astronauts were actually in space during the final mission.
During her time there she met two astronauts, Steve Kelly and Clayton Anderson. She also dined with NASA employees and said one of the trip's highlights included sitting on a space toilet, attesting to the rare, behind-the-scenes tour she got.
Feliciano's name is now also one of a select few in the guest book of people who actually simulate being in space.
"My name is in there with Bono and Alan Alda and all of these famous people who got a chance to do this," she said. "And there's probably less than 500 or 600 signatures in the whole book. It was especially exciting, because they dismantled that on Friday."
Feliciano had the chance to ride in the simulator and was in charge of a docking between the International Space Station and the space shuttle. Even though she crashed, she said it was the most exciting, most expensive and even the scariest video game she's ever played.
The flight simulator will now be at the Texas A&M museum.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

A 23-year-old was arrested Thursday after deputies said he randomly stabbed two teenage boys in Maricopa, sending one of them to a hospital for surgery for wounds to his stomach.
Jonathan Zavala-Campa was booked into the Pinal County Adult Detention Center on two counts of aggravated assault involving a dangerous crime against a child after the two boys were stabbed about 11:40 p.m. Sept. 21.
The two boys told Pinal County sheriff's deputies that a man they didn't know walked up to them and began stabbing them for no reason.
Witnesses said Zavala-Campa was intoxicated and that he "wanted to get into something," so he approached the two strangers and stabbed them with a knife, according to a Pinal County sheriff's spokesman.
Deputies said a large gathering was breaking up when they arrived. A 14-year-old boy was stabbed in the stomach and taken to a hospital, where he was in stable condition after undergoing surgery. The PCSO spokesman said the boy faces a lengthy recovery.
The 13-year-old boy was taken to a hospital where he received stitches for a cut on an arm, the spokesman said.
Witness interviews and further investigation led deputies to arrest Zavala-Campa.

2007 Annual Christmas Tree Sale
During the first weekend of December the Forestry Club set out to cut Christmas Trees near Blodgett Forest. Thanks to Zak Thomas and Angie Lee efforts in organizing this year's cut enabled 26 Forestry Club Members to come up and cut over 300 trees in just a few hours. Zak who has become a veteran when it comes to driving the U-Hauls was able to avoid getting stuck this year. Fortunately the weather had been very dry up until the first week of December allowing us to cut at higher elevation and selecting the favorite red fir trees. The Forestry Club is thankful to Sierra Pacific Industries for their support in the cut and for donating the trees again this year.

*Page will be updated with links once the mixtape drops*
So Lil Wayne's long awaited and much needed Dedication 4 is officially set to drop any moment now. The official release time is set for 4 PM EST. You will be able to find the official download on either LilWayneHQ.com or LiveMixtapes.com. In the meantime you can check out Tune's track list for The Dedication 4.
First off, the #1 Stunna kicks off this party with Tune on "So Dedicated". Rick Ross aint here, but "Ugh". Nothin like a good ol' father-son collaboration. Nothing but Young Money Cash Money goodness there.
After that, The Dedication 4 (and yes I am purposely entitling it "The") has some nice surprises on it, such as original Cash Money member, Boo, making an appearance, a surprise feature from J. Cole (where'd that come from right?), a Nicki Minaj feature on MERCY!! That should be awesome. Young Jeezy + Gudda on a "My Homies Still" remix and there is also a feature from one of Young Money's newest members, Flo. As you can see Wayne will be remixing popular tracks like Burn, Amen, Cashed Out and many more. I'ma stop because before I'm done it's gonna be 4′ oclock.
In the meantime, if you can't wait ten minutes, check out Wayne's trailer for The Dedication 4.

Lil Wayne Updates- Hail Mary Video, Behind the Scenes + SUPRA Skating Shoe Launch
Here are a couple Weezy updates for today. First up is his new video that he is featured in. The song is called "Hail Mary" and is off of Trey Songz' next album "Chapter 5″ (in case all that in-video advertising wasn't enough). The song also features a verse from Young Jeezy and a comical appearance from Kevin Hart. You can check out the video below. After the jump you can watch a behind the scenes video from the "Hail Mary" shoot as well as Weezy discussing his SUPRA skating shoe. Lastly but not least, you can also check out Busta Rhymes' new song off his free album "Year of the Dragon" available on Google Play. Umm and Wayne murked it. Everything after the jump!

Last night Nicki Minaj brought out Miami's mascot Lil Wayne during her tour stop in said city. They performed 'Take It To The Head' with DJ Khaled and 'Roman Reloaded'. After that Wayne spit his verse on 'Pop That' and then Stunna came out and the two Stunna's did their thing. There is some video after the jump of Nicki and Wayne performing Take It To The Head and Pop That…looking for more video. Also, if you are interested Nicki basically brought out every rapper she knew in Atlanta (Young Jeezy, T.I., 2 Chainz, Waka Flocka) when she made a stop there a couple days ago. You can check out that video after the jump. S/O LWHQ + Global Grind.

Did a fresh install of LDT 2006 on a machine with SP1 and the hotfixes, etc. No symbols come in and points stay on current layer when I import points. Desc. key looks good and is the same one I created years ago. All setting appear to be the same as all of my other computers. Never had this problem before...
I have all the setting correct that I can think of:
1) Desc. key manager loads my desc key file
2) Points settings has the correct symbol path set and use current point style checked. Desc key matching checked also
3) Point style set and boxes checked for insert, match, substitute and correct key is selected.
TodayI had the same issure for LDD 2009 installation.
Check Projedts\User Preferences File Locations for Label Styles. We keep our LDD\Data directory on our network. When I installed LDD 2009 recently, the "Data" directly installed to my local drive. The fastest fix was to copy the Data Directory form the network to my local drive rather than changing all of the user preferences. That did the trick for me.
I have the same type of setup here. I try to keep all the support files on our server so everyone is using the same files.
That checks ok, my path is set correctly in that menu. I have had so many problems on this machine that is running Windows 7 64bit.
The only other thing I can think of is to check Labels\Settign - Point Labels tab for the correct label style. and also check the Labels\Edit Label Styles - Point Label Styles tab to verify descrition key settings.
Start with some of our most frequented solutions or visit the Installation and Licensing Forum to get help installing your software.

West Nile, A Pregnancy Danger? (cont.)
Pregnant women who have meningitis, encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, or unexplained fever in an area of ongoing WNV transmission should have serum (and cerebrospinal fluid [CSF], if clinically indicated) tested for antibody to WNV. If serologic or other laboratory tests indicate recent infection with WNV, these infections should be reported to the local or state health department, and the women should be followed to determine the outcomes of their pregnancies.
Evaluation of the Fetus in Pregnant Women with WNV Infection
If WNV illness is diagnosed during pregnancy, a detailed ultrasound examination of the fetus to evaluate for structural abnormalities should be considered no sooner than 2--4 weeks after onset of WNV illness in the mother, unless earlier examination is otherwise indicated. Amniotic fluid, chorionic villi, or fetal serum can be tested for evidence of WNV infection. However, the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of tests that might be used to evaluate fetal WNV infection are not known, and the clinical consequences of fetal infection have not been determined. In case of miscarriage or induced abortion, testing of all products of conception (e.g., the placenta and umbilical cord) for evidence of WNV infection is advised to document the effects of WNV infection on pregnancy outcome.
Evaluation of Infants Born to Mothers Infected with WNV During Pregnancy
When an infant is born to a mother who was known or suspected to have WNV infection during pregnancy, clinical evaluation is recommended (Box 1). Further evaluation should be considered if any clinical abnormality is identified or if laboratory testing indicates that an infant might have congenital WNV infection (Box 2).
Prevention of WNV Infection During Pregnancy
Pregnant women who live in areas with WNV-infected mosquitoes should apply insect repellent to skin and clothes when exposed to mosquitoes and wear clothing that will help protect against mosquito bites. In addition, whenever possible, pregnant women should avoid being outdoors during peak mosquito-feeding times (i.e., usually dawn and dusk).

I would work at apple but the closest retail store is eighty miles from me. I was considering applying with a carrier but i dont want to promote other phones. Lol yea i got it bad
I am assuming Google's score rating is 4.0 and not 5.0 seeing as how that would nearly be impossible to get 5.0 an that Facebook got a 4.3 but is a a higher rank than Google.
I had the opportunity to do an install for the manager of apple In ottawa( cable tech for Rogers) and he tried hiring me on. If I were to start now, I'd have to go on social aid because of the base pay couldn't pay half of My life. Gentleman was very nice and welcoming but I went corporate at Rogers and don't see me leaving for apple. It woulda been nice fresh out of high school, but definitely now now.
Oh Dear :-(
Nortel were rated as the best Company to work for
Now what happened the Nortel ?
lol if they included retail then that has to be false because working at apple was the WORST. Managers are extremely anal and they will make your life miserable. Apple wants to control the way you express yourself , dress, smile and talk with your customers. If you are in the sales floor then you have to stand in a designated spot until your legs rot.
I know a few retail companies that suck too, but never as bad as Apple. For example, I broke a sales record by selling 20 Mac in a single day and they never gave me a penny for anything, the store manager in the other hand collects a $500 bonus when we go above the average number of sales. Even worse was allowing myself to be part of their ridiculous cult like clapping and cheering for the iPod shuffle. Retail sucks but nothing compares to apple retail. I give this article the biggest face palm of life.
I got an interview with them on March and I thank God everyday for not giving me the chance to work there. I love their products, but after reading comments of ex-employees I think they shouldn't even be on that list.

There were plenty of players West Warwick/Exeter-West Greenwich co-op hockey coach Peter Ethier couldŌĆÖve given the game puck to following the Knight-WizardsŌĆÖ Division III title clinching victory over Tolman Sunday afternoon.
Troy Sankey was going to sit out the biggest hockey game of his life.
The Exeter-West Greenwich senior scored a goal and had two assists Saturday afternoon to help the West Warwick /Exeter-West Greenwich co-op hockey team move to within one victory of the Division III title.
The No. 3 Tolman hockey team played a perfect two periods for the second straight game in the Division III title series, but the Tigers couldnŌĆÖt stop No. 1 West Warwick/Exeter-West GreenwichŌĆÖs perfect season.
For 38 minutes Tolman goalie Jared DaSilva and the rest of the No. 3 Tigers found a way to frustrate the stateŌĆÖs leading scorer, West Warwick/Exeter-West Greenwich senior forward Antonio Rei, in Game One of the Division III championship series at Meehan Auditorium Saturday afternoon.
Brandon Eckles was more than grateful to be selected as one of the 48 best players in the state and compete in the Rhode Island Coaches Association All-Star games last Wednesday at Rhode Island College.
At the same time though the whole thing felt just a little bit off and itŌĆÖs easy to see why.
This past winter East Greenwich saw a significant amount of turnover amongst its head coaches.
Matt Records ŌĆō who prior to the move was the head coach of the girls basketball team ŌĆō took over the boys basketball team for Craig MacKenzie and RecordsŌĆÖ former assistant coach ŌĆō Tori Ahrens ŌĆō took his place.
Calling 2012 a good year for East Greenwich High School athletics would be an understatement.
It was a great year and now the school has the hardware to prove it.
Top-seeded Lincoln slipped past the No. 2 Prout 3-2 Thursday night at Brown Universities George V. Meehan Auditorium.
With a late flurry the Crusaders (15-5-0, 14-4-0 Division II Central) closed a 3-1 deficit, coming up just short against the Lions (19-0-1, 17-0-1 Division II North) as time ran out in game one of the Division II BoyŌĆÖs Ice Hockey Championship.
Throughout their coaching careers Tom Penders and Al Skinner have each heard the trumpets flourish and the wolves at the gates.
Each knows all too well what it feels like to be heralded as a programŌĆÖs savior and to have fans calling for their jobs.
Sabrina Nuttall had one of her best swims of the high school season at the Rhode Island Girls Swimming Championships a little over one month ago and since then the freshman from South Kingstown hasnŌĆÖt slowed down.

The Utah Division of Consumer Protection is warning wildfire victims or those looking for ways to help victims to use caution to prevent being scammed.
While no reports of fire-related scams have surfaced yet, the division wants to warn residents to be alert to avoid being taken.
The division said to be wary of door-to-door solicitations from strangers, contractors offering cut-rate repair services or those who try to pressure residents into contracts without getting it in writing.
"Sadly, Utah's wildfires have left many property owners in a very vulnerable situation," said Francine A. Giani, executive director of the state's Department of Commerce, in a statement. "Even though you may be in a hurry to make home repairs, don't let others take advantage the second time around. It just takes five minutes to make sure your contractor is licensed or to check that your donation is going to a charity registered with the state."
Some tips to avoid being scammed:
• Make sure any contractor offering fire repair services is licensed or hasn't faced disciplinary action with the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) at www.dopl.utah.gov or by calling (801) 530-6626.
• Get any contract terms in writing.
• Donate to charities with a track record and a history and check out an organization before donating.
• Do not send or give cash donations. For security and tax record purposes, it is best to pay by check made payable to the charity. And always ask for a receipt.
•• Call the Utah Division of Consumer Protection at (801) 530-6601 to see whether the charity or organization has to be registered in Utah or log on to www.consumerprotection.utah.gov.

With the development and use of electricity our living conditions have changed profoundly. Besides naturally occuring static electric and magnetic fields the number of alternating fields that have been created by humans for residential, occupational and environmental purposes is growing constantly. Without electricity, our current standard of living would be impossible, based on our dependency of convenient household devices, diagnostic and therapeutic advances in medicine and the steadily increasing use of modern communication devices. The beneficial effects result in greater mobility, time savings and leisure. In addition, the electromobility, so for example the use of electric cars, will play an increasingly important role.
However, since a few decades we know that very strong electromagnetic fields (EMF) can cause acute health effects. A variety of technical and dosimetric norms and guidelines have been established in the past years to limit the effects on health and well-being. Germany has set a very conservative safety standard, which is consistent with the recommendations of the European Union, the WHO, and recognized international commissions making risk assessments on a scientific basis.
In everyday life, the general public is exposed to relatively weak electromagnetic fields. The possible health effects of the exposure to weak electromagnetic fields have initiated a controversial public debate in the last years. People want to know whether electromagnetic fields (common speech: electromagnetic pollution or "electrosmog") can cause medical conditions or other adverse health effects. It is speculated that a variety of diseases including cancer is related to the effects of electromagnetic fields. This finally leads to concerns and prejudices against innovative technical developments.
Having access to objective and integrative information is promoting a better understanding of electromagnetic fields and its effects on health and environment. This information platform including a large scientific EMF literature database provides access to a broad spectrum of research on electromagnetic fields.

I seriously think my 5 yo has a split personality. She can be 2 completely different people and I really never know which one I am going to be facing from day to day.
For the most part she is a sweet, caring, fun-loving, helpful kid. Luckily that is the more dominant personality. But she has another side. A side no one but DH and I see and it's for lack of a better word, horrifying. She can be downright nasty, bull-headed, defiant, angry, bratty,.....you get what I mean. It's very hard to deal with her when she is in that mindset. She doesn't listen and will set her mind on something she wants and just keep at it until she gets it. She can be reprimanded and punished from here until Tuesday and it doesn't make a difference.
Anyone else have a kid like this??? Is this normal?! She generally respects us and responds well to rules but when she gets in this "way" it's like she is another person

Does ARM Still Have Momentum?
Mark is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
While Apple's share price took a precipitous tumble in the fourth quarter last year, the shares of ARM Holdings were moving in the opposite direction, gaining 40% in Q4 alone. ARMH shares have had huge momentum since the middle of last year, primarily on the expectation that no matter who wins the war for mobile internet devices, ARM Holdings also wins.
ARMs trader
ARM (NASDAQ: ARMH) is uniquely well positioned to benefit from the mobile device wars currently being fought between Google, Apple and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), since better than 90% of all smart phones use SOCs (systems on chip) based on ARM designs. Furthermore, all iOS and most Android tablets use ARM processors as well. ARM's complete dominance of the mobile device world is a tremendous accomplishment, given that ARM doesn't actually make any hardware.
ARM's business model is also unique in the semiconductor world in that its revenues consist almost entirely of licensing fees and royalties. Besides mobile phones and tablets, ARM-based devices appear in a host of smart appliances, including TVs, coffeemakers, and automotive infotainment systems. In many ways, ARM is positioned at the top of the mobile device food chain, but is it's share price/earnings ratio of about 290 really justified?
The following chart provides historical data on share price, revenue, operating income, and ARM-based semiconductor shipment volume going back to the end of Q4 2009. In the chart, I use end of Q4 2009 as a set of initial conditions, and express changes relative to that as percent changes. The starting conditions were:
Share Price: $8.56 (Nasdaq)
Revenue: $ 140 m
Operating Income: $32.2 m
Semiconductor shipments: 1.3 billion
As can be seen in the chart, revenue growth tracks semiconductor shipment growth fairly well. The steady growth of the ARM ecosystem has translated into steady revenue growth. Operating income grew fairly dramatically in 2011, primarily on the strength of cost cutting of operating costs such as R&D and G&A. However, since ARM lives by the value of its IP, I don't foresee any dramatic reductions in these areas in the future, and in fact, operating income has tracked revenue growth through most of 2012. The share price growth has far outpaced revenue and earnings growth. Does this represent "irrational exuberance" on the part of investors?
Not entirely. Certainly ARM continues to grow at a healthy clip, and its future appears bright. Nevertheless, the share price jumps that occurred in Q1 2011 and Q4 2012 must have been predicated on significant revenue growth over and above what had been historically demonstrated. What gave rise to these expectations?
Microsoft pop
It was probably the announcements by Microsoft of ARM based products that drove investor optimism. In January of 2011 came the first announcement of Windows on ARM at CES. In October and November of 2012 came the roll out of Microsoft's ARM based tablet, Surface RT, and the new Windows Phone 8 devices from Nokia, also based on ARM processors. The expectation that Microsoft would greatly expand the market for ARM-based semiconductors clearly weighed on investors minds.
Back when I wrote Microsoft's Mobile Crisis, I predicted disappointing results for Microsoft's ARM initiatives, Surface RT and Windows Phone 8, based on what was then sketchy information, inference and deduction. Since then, much more information has become available. According to IDC, only 900,000 Surface RT devices were shipped in Q4, giving Surface a worldwide market share of just 1.7%. Furthermore, there is the widely reported statement by Microsoft CFO Tami Reller that "New devices that run on Windows RT . . . won't be released this spring." This quote and the paucity of available Windows RT devices led Woody Leonhard of InfoWorld to describe Windows RT as "circling the drain".
Windows Phone 8 has fared little better. I estimate in Myths of the Nokia Turnaround that only 5.5 million Windows Phones were shipped in Q4, giving it a 2.5% market share. As I've said elsewhere, I think Windows Phone 8 is a good product, but it's in an uphill battle against the better established Android and iOS ecosystems, so I don't see much hope for a dramatic expansion of Windows Phone market share.
Collision course
If the expansion in ARM processor shipments is not to come from Microsoft, is there any other potential source of market gains? Last October ARM announced a new generation of Cortex processors, which are the main CPU cores used in smart phones and tablets. The generation, dubbed the Cortex A50 series, will feature 64 bit processing capability, and use the new 64 bit augmented ARMv8 instruction set. This 64 bit capability will enable faster performance, especially for integer math computations often used for 2D graphics, as well as allow the operating system to address a larger memory space. ARM is positioning the Cortex A50 series initially for low power server applications, but eventually these chips will find their way into tablets and even smart phones.
However, it generally takes manufacturers 1 1/2 – 2 years to bring a new Cortex series processor into full production, so I don't expect A50 series chips to begin to appear before next year. In the meantime, the Haswell series of Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) Core processors is expected to begin arriving this June. Low power versions of Haswell will enable slim form factor tablets like Microsoft's Surface RT, but be able to run Windows 8 Pro.
I expect Haswell based Windows 8 tablets to give ARM based tablets some serious competition. The successor to Haswell is Broadwell, a shrinking of the Haswell architecture with an even smaller process, 14 nm vs. Haswell's 22nm. I expect Broadwell to provide even more competition for ARM. With Intel steadily improving the power efficiency of their processors, and ARM improving the computational efficiency of theirs, Intel and ARM are clearly on a collision course, with the outcome by no means certain. A battle to be the dominant mobile processor architecture is brewing, for which Haswell's arrival is the opening shot. When that shot is heard, ARM investors are likely to duck and cover.

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) — The commander of one of Fort Campbell's most heavily deployed brigades said Friday he has seen progress in the capability of Afghan security forces as the brigade starts its sixth deployment.
Col. R.J. Lillibridge, the commander of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, briefed reporters by telephone from the brigade's area of operations in southeastern Afghanistan, an area that the brigade knows well after four deployments to Afghanistan since 2001. The brigade was the first Army combat brigade to deploy to Afghanistan following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and also deployed twice to Iraq.
The brigade is working in three key provinces — Khost, Paktia and Paktika — located south of Kabul and along the Pakistan border. They are partners with the Afghan National Army's 1st Brigade, 203rd Corps, as well as Afghan National Police and Afghan Border Police.
About 45 days into their 9-month deployment, Lillibridge said the coming transition to significantly reduce the size of the American forces in Afghanistan is going better than he anticipated.
"Even though we have been here operating with the Afghans for a decade now, they know that very shortly their responsibility for their country is going to be solely on their own," he said.
He said about a quarter to a third of the security operations are being conducted by Afghans alone, and the rest are with assistance from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team.
"Something different than what we had back in 2010 is that we don't conduct any unilateral operations," Lillibridge said. "Everything that we do is partnered with the Afghan Army or the police or the border police."
During their last deployment, the brigade was leading most of the security operations, so the U.S. forces were developing their own plans based on intelligence they gathered and then told the Afghan security forces what they were going to do. But now he sees the Afghan soldiers and police taking over the leadership role.
"They know who the bad people are or where they live and operate," Lillibridge said. "The Afghans are driving those operations and we are providing support for them."
He said the Afghan people aren't expressing fears or concerns with him about what could happen to the country after US forces draw down.
"A lot of them are ready to assume the responsibility for their country, for their province and their district," he said.
Generally insurgent attacks slow down in the winter months in remote parts of Afghanistan in the mountainous regions, but Lillibridge said that the snow and cold weather won't prevent enemy activity in Khost province, which borders Pakistan's tribal regions.
"The temperature is much milder in Khost than it is in the other two provinces, so generally the enemy will try to fight us in Khost through the winter, so we are prepared for that," he said.
He noted that the Afghanistan draw-down is similar to what US forces did in Iraq after the surge there, so the brigade has experience with offering a support role to another Army, rather than leading operations. They have small assistance teams made up of officers and noncommissioned officers who are embedded inside Afghan units.
"Integrating the SFATs (security force assistance teams) has had a significant impact on making our partnership even better, even better than what I saw in Iraq in 2007," he said.

Preview: Stormers vs Rebels
The Stormers can set an interesting record this weekend if they manage to beat the Rebels without getting a try-scoring bonus point.
They will then become the first team ever to reach the play-offs without once scoring four tries in a regular season match.
Only seven teams have completed a season without scoring any bonus points. In 1996, Western Province finished 11th with three wins, in 1999 the Blues got four wins and came ninth, in 2000 the Sharks won one and finished last, in 2006 the Highlanders came ninth with six wins, in 2007 the Lions managed five wins but still finished 12th, while the Reds came last with only two wins, and in 2008 the Lions won twice and came last.
In 1999, the Reds managed their first and only try-scoring bonus point for the season in their final league match, against the Sharks. They topped the log but lost in the semi-finals against eventual champions, the Crusaders.
The Stormers have already set a South African record for the most wins in a single season when they beat the Cheetahs last week (13). The Reds, with 15, hold the overall record for the most wins in a season (2011).
It's only the second time the Stormers are taking on the Rebels and also the Melbournians' first visit to Cape Town.
They are still looking for their first victory over South African opposition, but it looks unlikely this weekend. Last year, the Stormers scored five tries in their 40-3 victory.
Allister Coetzee, coach of the Stormers, said his team will chase the four-try bonus point, something that's always been part of their game plan.
"The game plan was always to go and score as many tries as possible and I would like to see an improvement this week when it comes to our finishing.
"On attack, we created even more scoring opportunities, but in the end some bad decision-making that let us down. Creating try-scoring opportunities is one thing, but finishing them is another.
"We know that is something we have to get right going into the play-offs where you might only get one opportunity to score and you have to take it."
Key Battle: Jean de Villiers vs. Stirling Mortlock. The former Wallaby captain could not have asked for a more suitable opponent as the curtain comes down on his decorated Super Rugby career than old rival and incumbent Springbok skipper Jean de Villiers.
Last Meeting: Stormers 40-3 Melbourne Rebels (Melbourne).
Prediction: With the result surely a foregone conclusion, the real question is will the Stormers finally earn that elusive four-try bonus point?
We think they will (bar inclement weather) in addition to winning the match by 15 points.
Saturday 14 July: Stormers vs. Melbourne Rebels, Cape Town (15:00)
Stormers: 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Jean de Villiers (captain), 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Peter Grant, 9 Dewaldt Duvenage, 8 Deon Fourie, 7 Rynhardt Elstadt, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 De Kock Steenkamp, 3 Frans Malherbe, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 Steven Kitshoff.
Replacements: 16 Brok Harris, 17 Deon Carstens, 18 Quinn Roux, 19 Jebb Sinclair, 20 Louis Schrueder, 21 Burton Francis, 22 Gerhard van den Heever.
Melbourne Rebels: 15 Julian Huxley, 14 Mark Gerrard, 13 Mitch Inman, 12 Stirling Mortlock (captain), 11 Cooper Vuna/Lachlan Mitchell, 10 James Hilgendorf, 9 Nick Phipps, 8 Gareth Delve, 7 Hugh Perrett, 6 Tim Davidson, 5 Hugh Pyle, 4 Cadeyrn Neville, 3 Jono Owen, 2 Ged Robinson, 1 Rodney Blake.
