Executive Decision is a 1996 American action film directed by Stuart Baird in his directorial debut. The film stars Kurt Russell, Steven Seagal, Halle Berry, Oliver Platt and John Leguizamo. The film was released in the United States on March 15, 1996.
Lieutenant Colonel Austin Travis (Steven Seagal) leads an unsuccessful raid on a Chechen mafia safehouse by a U.S. Army Special Forces team to recover a stolen Soviet nerve agent, DZ-5. One of his men is killed during the raid.
Dr. David Grant (Kurt Russell), a United States Naval Academy graduate and now a consultant for the U.S. Army's intelligence community, is informed that the world's most feared terrorist, El Sayed Jaffa (Andreas Katsulas), has been taken into custody. Shortly after, Oceanic Airlines Flight 343, a Boeing 747-200, leaves Athens, Greece bound for Washington, D.C. It is hijacked by Jaffa's lieutenant, Nagi Hassan (David Suchet) and a number of Jaffa's men.
Grant is summoned to the Pentagon to join a team led by Travis which is being readied to intercept the hijacked plane. They listen to Hassan's demand for the release of Jaffa. Grant, however, does not believe Hassan wants Jaffa released. He believes that Hassan actually arranged for Jaffa's capture, that the hijacked plane is carrying a bomb loaded with DZ-5 and that Hassan wants to detonate the bomb over U.S. airspace.
A plan is worked out that will involve a mid-air transfer of a special operations team onto the hijacked airliner using an experimental F-117 stealth aircraft. The plan is approved and Travis assembles his team at a U.S Air Force base. They board with Grant and engineer Dennis Cahill (Oliver Platt).
The boarding is only partially successful. When an operator, "Cappy" (Joe Morton), is seriously injured, Grant, who was supposed to stay put, boards to help lift Cappy into the plane. The 747 pulls up, though, putting too much stress on the boarding sleeve. Unable to board the plane, Travis sacrifices himself when he closes the 747's hatch, just as the sleeve breaks and he is blown from the F-117 into open air. Those who survived insertion make it to the 747's lower deck, but with half their equipment and no communication. It is assumed back at the Pentagon that the team did not make it aboard.
With limited options, the operators begin to search for the supposed DZ-5 bomb. Grant manages to make contact with a flight attendant, Jean (Halle Berry), despite Hassan's suspicions and asks her for assistance in finding the bomb's remote detonator.
Officials decide to release Jaffa in order to resolve the situation. Meanwhile, Cappy and Cahill locate and start to dismantle the bomb. They discover that the bomb's arming device is barometrically activated. They seemingly disarm the bomb, but it is revealed that there is another trigger.
Jaffa calls Hassan from a private jet, telling him he is free, but Hassan will not be swayed from his plan. Grant realizes that Hassan's men don't know about the bomb, which means there is a sleeper on board, one passenger among 400.
U.S. Senator Mavros (J. T. Walsh) is called away from his seat to have a word with the President of the United States only to realize he's to be sacrificed as a warning that Hassan is serious. Hassan points a gun to Mavros' head as he tries in vain to get the President to listen, but is shot in the head. However, Jean spots a man with an electronic device and informs Grant. Meanwhile, the soldiers manage to use the plane's taillights and Morse code signal to the U.S. Navy fighter jets that they are on board and not to shoot them down.
Grant and Jean enter the passenger cabin and take the suspected individual by surprise, but what Jean thought was an electronic device was merely a case of diamonds. However, Grant spots the real sleeper: Jean-Paul Demou (Robert Apisa), the man who built the bomb. Hassan attempts to fire at Grant, but is shot from behind by the on-board federal air marshal. The operators kill the lights, make entry, and storm the cabin where a firefight ensues. Stray bullets strike and break passenger windows wide open, causing explosive decompression which blows three passengers and Demou out of the plane. The remaining terrorists are killed during the exchange, the bomb is finally disarmed, and the plane is able to regain its stability. In a last act of desperation, a seriously wounded Hassan kills both pilots, hoping the bomb will detonate if the plane crashes. Hassan is killed by wounded operator "Rat" (John Leguizamo).
Grant is then forced to assume control of the plane and attempt to land the 747 at Washington Dulles International Airport despite his limited piloting experience. He attempts to land at Dulles, but is flying too high by the time he reaches the runway and misses the approach, forcing him to pull the plane back up to circle around and try again. As the plane begins to climb, Grant visually recognizes the area surrounding Frederick Field, which is where he normally practices flying. Deciding to try and land the 747 there, with Jean's assistance, Grant makes a sloppy but safe landing as he's unable to stop before reaching the end of the airport's relatively short runway. The 747 is slowed to a stop by ramming into a sand berm at the runway's overrun area where emergency workers are able to safely evacuate the remaining passengers.

Originally developed at Paramount, the studio put the project in turnaround and sold to Warner Bros. in exchange for the rights and screenplay to Forrest Gump. Executive Decision was considered a hot project while Forrest Gump was going through multiple problems with the script and casting.
The film received full cooperation from The Pentagon. One alteration to the screenplay was the removal of the President of the United States (he is said to be out of the country and does not appear on-screen); his part in the story was taken by the Secretary of Defense played by Len Cariou.
The film's plot device of a stealth fighter linking to a civilian airliner had its roots in a F-117 field test, conducted by the famous Skunk Works. In the test, a "red-eye" transcontinental flight was picked at random by Skunk Work engineers. An F-117 "Have Blue" fighter then flew just below and behind the selected airliner. Engineers watched radar screens for the airliner's reaction. If the airliner deviated from its flight path, the engineers would assume that its anti-collision radar system had detected the stealth fighter. According to the story, the unknowing airliner stayed on its preset flight path. After nearly an hour the invisible fighter plane veered off and returned to its test site.
Steven Seagal had a fairly minor role in the film. His character was killed early on despite him being one of the more well known of the actors to appear in the film, as well as a major action star at the time. Furthermore, Seagal is not cited in the opening credits, but his image was used heavily in advertising for the movie due to his popularity with moviegoers.
Aircraft props[edit]
Oceanic Airlines is a fictional airline often used in action movies and TV series involving ill-fated airplanes. Some scenes from this film were used in other films and TV series.
The external shots of the Oceanic Airlines 747 depicts the 747-200 version of the aircraft, yet all the cockpit scenes in the movie feature the much more modern glass cockpit of the newer 747-400 which has a longer upper deck than the -200 model as well.[1]
The particular 747-121 aircraft featured in this film was actually involved in a real life terrorist incident. On August 11, 1982, while operating under the registry N754PA for its original owner Pan Am and nicknamed "Clipper Ocean Rover," it was assigned to fly from Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan to Honolulu International Airport in Honolulu, Hawaii as Flight 830. About 140 miles from Hawaii, a bomb under a seat cushion exploded killing 16 year old Japanese student Toru Ozawa and injuring 15 others (including the boy's parents). The plane managed to make a safe landing in Honolulu and was eventually placed back into service with Pan Am. The plane was later sold and passed through several owners before being used in the film.
Kurt Russell is shown in an opening scene piloting a Beechcraft Bonanza. Kurt Russell was actually flying the airplane and it is seen making an approach into Chino, California. The scene is spliced into a ramp scene from Van Nuys airport, with Van Nuys standing in for Maryland.
The scene involving the F-14 interception was the last film appearance of the Squadron VF-84 before being disestablished.
This film is also known under the name Critical Decision, for the Dutch/Belgian/Indonesian market; Ratkaisun Hetket (The Moments of Decision) for Finland; Ultime Decision, for France; Décision au sommet, for French Canadian; the German title was Einsame Entscheidung and Final Decision in South Korea, Krytyczna decyzja in Poland, "Decisione critica" in Italy and Boeing 747 v ohrožení (Boeing 747 in Danger) in Czech Republic.
Executive Decision received mixed but mostly positive reviews from critics, and currently holds a 64% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 39 reviews. Leonard Maltin called it "A standard, but enjoyable action thriller, that somewhat falls apart towards the end, but still worth the trip." Steven Seagal earned a Razzie Award nomination for Worst Supporting Actor for his performance in the film, but lost against Marlon Brando for The Island of Dr. Moreau.
Home media[edit]
DVD was released in Region 1 in the United States on July 30, 1997, and Region 2 in the United Kingdom on 24 May 1999, it was distributed by Warner Home Video.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY - Indian River BioEnergy Center in Vero Beach, the nation's first waste-to-ethanol plant of its kind, recently announced that renewable power is now in production.
Yard trash could very soon power the DVD players, washing machines, microwaves and other electric items in homes from Vero Beach to the rest of the Treasure Coast.
The bioenergy center is a pilot project of INEOS Bio, a bioenergy company producing advanced biofuels and renewable power from a wide-range of low-cost carbon materials.
Construction on the facility was completed in June and since then, the 60 full-time employees have been hard at work installing and refining the technology to make the plant produce energy and biofuels.
The technology at the plant takes non-food vegetative waste materials, essentially garbage, which is then put through a gasification process. Once the gas is produced, its heat is fed into a steam turbine and used to generate renewable electricity.
That power will be used to power the entire center and once it is fully functional, there should be enough power left over to provide electricity to 1,400 Treasure Coast homes, said Dan Cummings, INEOS representative.
The center already has a customer to purchase the produced power, Florida Power & Light, Mr. Cummings said.
An exact measure of the power produced by the plant was not available at press time, but once the facility is fully operational, it is supposed to gross 6 megawatts of renewable power and 8 million gallons of bioethanol.
The excess power would be enough to provide energy for 140,000 houses.
The project received about 90 percent of its equipment from U.S. manufacturers, created more than 400 direct jobs during construction, including engineering and manufacturing jobs, and created or retained jobs in more than 10 states, a press release said.
Total capacity should be reached in late 2013, Mr. Cummings said.
In the aftermath of the general election, there has been renewed interest in greenhouse gas savings, he said.
The bioenergy center has a high ratio of greenhouse gas savings, making it the next generation of technology.
The center is unique in the world and already people are interested in visiting and learning more about the technology.
"The center will be a center of teaching, too," Mr. Cummins said.

Item has a Minimum Qty
Can't believe how this little towel can soak up so much water.
Good to take in a small bag when I jog/bike to the pool. Absorbs the water so I can put dry clothes on again and be comfortable. Dries stiff, but still works well.
My 13 year old competitive swimmer loves this towel. It saves him from carrying multiple towels to practice/meets. It works just as described. Highly recommend it for someone drying off multiple times at the pool.
Solid product; portable, low maintenance. I use it to damp-off after my post-swim rinse at the pool. Gets the job done expeditiously for me to pull on shorts/shirt in the locker room, then drive home to do a real soap shower. I can't reach my upper back due to the towel's small size, but for my routine, it's not a big deal.
As a diver, my son uses this towel after each dive! The size is perfect for that! The price is even better! Now when he looses one or leaves one on the pook deck after a competition, I don't feel so bad!
Takes the water off your body as if you were using a full sized towel. A nice addition to my gym bag.
I bought a few of these for the kids' swim bags. They have paid for themselves in laundry savings because the kids only use one towel at meets/practices instead of two. Also great for parents at early morning practices when bleachers are wet with morning dew. These are perfect for the task!
I expected the towel to absorb more than it does. I bought it based on all other reviews, it is very small which is convenient in my swim bag but I rather use a hand towel instead.
saves so , so much water used to wash the huge beach towels! We still keep the big towels with us, so after we dry off we cover ourselves with the bigger towel (that remains dry , and is therefore warm.
I just used this towel at a 3-day water conference, leaving my terry cloth towel in the car "just in case". The sport towel worked wonderfully - extremely absorbent and light weight in my gym bag! No more bulky towel for me!

Bike theft is an all-too-common occurrence. If your bike is stolen, you're covered for its replacement, or for the cost of replacing it.
Don't worry – if you crash, you're covered. And if your parts are damaged along with the frame, they can be repaired or replaced, too.
Upgrade! Your stolen bike can be replaced with a new model if it's 3 years old or newer.
Was your bike made just for you? No problem. Just factor in custom parts when entering your bike's value and hold on to your receipts.
Have different cycles for different uses? Save 10% off your total price when you insure two bikes, and 15% when you insure three or more.
For an additional premium, cover is available for up to 90 days per year (30 days for any one trip) anywhere in the European Union.
Six million new cyclists are expected to hit the road this spring. That's good for the bike industry, good for the environment and good for the health and happiness of a lot of cyclists young and old.
But that feel-good factor disappears pretty quickly if you're the victim of theft and have to find the cash to replace your bike. And, if you use your bike to commute, you're not just left out of pocket – you're left to find some other, more-crowded and more-expensive way to get to work.
That's why push bike insurance makes such sound sense – whether you've got a road bike, a mountain bike or even an electric bike. Because it means you can get back on the road (or path, or mountain track) with as little hassle as possible.
You may think your home insurance covers your bike, too. It might, but it's worth checking the small print, because sometimes the cover isn't as extensive as specialist bike insurance. For instance, many home insurance policies insist you keep your bike indoors overnight. If you're traveling or staying elsewhere, that won't be possible. Push Bike Insurance from Protect Your Bubble is tailored specifically to protecting your bike.
A bike can go missing in seconds, but you can be covered in minutes with us – get a quote to start the process.

Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, September 17, 8:24 AM
Change is a static word. We want the change we create to be sustainable. In our world, we want change which is mastered and manageable. Is that what we really want?
I found that School change was often window dressing. The change was simply the latest fad, technique, tool, etc. It did not mean much, but sustained an outdated status quo.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, September 16, 8:10 AM
A great question is posed in the article. Why do we continue to hope for heroes to emerge? I would add, "Why do we settle for managers and false prophets?"
Kenneth Mikkelsen's curator insight, September 16, 1:49 PM
Managerial authority is essential when decisions are time-sensitive, knowledge is concentrated and decisions need to be coordinated.

Tom Hood's curator insight, September 6, 5:27 AM
Nice graphic that captures the essence of how work and the employee is changing / needing to change. It is very close to an exercise we did with our team as we prepared for our move and our "workplace" consultants (Avance') had our entire team map how work was, how it is now, and where they see it going... Here are some of the key areas:
From individual work to group work
From hierarchy to flat structure
From Independent group to interdependent group
From internally focused to external (customer/member and brand)
From planned connections to spontaneous connections
From single work point to multiple workpoints
From structured to fluid
This also reinforces our approach to what we are calling the "shift change" and how the interplay of technology, workplace, leadership, learning, and culture are all in need of intentional thoughtful planning to get the most out of the new world we are facing...

No Snow? No Problem.
Kathy and Mark Hyatt have to get creative thanks to high-temperature winters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and the lighted faux ice cubes are just one way to keep up the wintry vibe during their tropical Christmas. But it does cost them: Our electricity bill is high, no doubt about it, says Kathy. It runs us about $1,500 for the month and thats if we keep the A/C off!
Get to Work!
Santas 140-square-foot workshop is only one of the themed areas throughout the Hyatts yard theres also a North Pole area and a nativity scene. They start preparations in August, and Santas workshop goes up in September. By November, theyre doing trial runs to be ready to go live at Thanksgiving.
Who Needs Snow?
The Hyatts, riding in a revved-up sleigh with kids Melissa, 6, and Matthew, 9.
Put Your Shades On!
Its clear that Robert and Raquel Cox of Pittsburgh dont waste an inch of space when it comes to stringing up lights. They program 30-minute light shows timed to six different songs that viewers can hear on the local 88.7 station as they drive by.
Full House
In the off-season, Robert admits that storage is a bit tricky: We store the stuff everywhere. The garage is full, the attic is full and so is the shed. Were running out of room!
Giving Back Made Easy.
For visitors who stop by to enjoy the Coxes knockout display, they can easily slip a few bucks into the tree-shaped donation box all the money is donated to their local Childrens Hospital Research Center.
She's the Electrician!
Robert and Raquel Cox, all caught up in their work with daughters Alyvia, 6, and Demitria, 4.
Santa's A-Knocking
At Matt and Heather Hallums house in Hobbs, New Mexico, their light display would definitely catch Santas attention. My favorite part of the display is the four large trees that I wrap in over 100 specialty strobe lights. It gives an awesome effect during the computerized show, says Matt.
The Halls? Decked!
For the Hallums, its not just an outdoor job. Heather takes charge of decorating inside and Matt is working on a large window display of a candy cane factory thatll be ready for next years holiday season.
Christmas Bliss
Matt and Heather get way into it.
Very Plugged In
Lighting just one tree takes three days!
Festival of Lights
When we sent photographer Michael Grecco on a 10-day cross-country tour to capture high-powered lighting displays, he found the Greens in Raleigh, North Carolina who built a gigantic menorah and dreidel themselves.
Dreidel I Shall Play
And the dreidel spins!

Rother McLennon: Connecticut man calls 911 over incorrect sandwich order
It was an emergency between two slices of bread for a Connecticut man who just wanted a sandwich to his exact specifications.
Rother McLennon said he "specifically asked for little turkey and little ham, a lot of cheese and a lot of mayonnaise" at the Grateful Deli in East Hartford, Connecticut — Or at least that's what he told the operator when he dialed 911 after the deli got the order wrong.
To clarify that this phone call from McLennon was actually taking place, the dispatcher asked, "You're calling 911 because you don't like way that they're making your sandwich?"
"Exactly," McLennon said, according to NBC Connecticut.
The dispatcher advised McLennon not to buy the sandwich, but it seemed his concerns went further than just that particular order.
"I mean, I just want to solve this the right way. Her sister made it, but she left," McLennon (in all seriousness) explained. "They are playing games with me, so I was just wondering if you could come by… I just want it resolved and I want to be able to come back here and get the regular sandwich that I ask for."
Is that so much to ask?
Again, the dispatcher, remaining patient, told McLennon to not buy the sandwich in the future.
Not satisfied with that strategy, McLennon said, "I'll look at it before I buy it," he said."
The deli's owner said McLennon ordered 14 sandwiches and employees made them to his specifications, but then he didn't want to pay for them. Instead, he used the deli's phone to call 911.
After the incident, McLennon called the deli to apologize and reassure them that he would be coming back for more sandwiches in the future, which we are sure they were thrilled to hear.

If you use aptbackup you can save al data on cydia then backup with itunes, upgrade firmware then jailbreak again, add bossprefs, five icon dock, ssh(if you had these apps from cydia), then restore from your backup on itunes, and finally install aptbackup and run restore...
Best way I know to upgrade so far
i have a 2.2 first gen iphone and i want to upgrade to 2.2.1. i downloaded the 2g 2.2.1 off your post. it opened with itunes. now what? please help
help! i upgraded to the latest version using itunes... now phone is locked and asking for valid sim card to activate
Anyone can help? Downgrade? or unlock?
If you have a 3G iPhone and used yellowsn0w you are now stuffed. A piigyback SIM is the only option until FW3.0 is officially released and cracked.
Yes 3G phone, updated the whole thing with itunes... now its locked... is there any way i can unlock it?? or what kind of special sim i can buy to make it work?? or can i downgrade it again? (not sure if it has upgraded the baseband, but i think it did from what i read around)
Jailbrake with TurboSIM in to bypass activation.
Turbosim is a windows software? Where can i get it? Im sorry for all my noob questions...
He meant to say, insert your TURBOSIM, then jailbreak the phone to bypass the activation.
[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_SIM"]Wiki TurboSim[/ame]
ok.... so i need to have the turbosim & sim inserted when trying ti jailbreak?? because now i get errors when trying to active using WinPwn...
Try using one of those.
Download them at QuickPWN
Ok it seemed that it worked... the jailbreak part... now my turbo sim does not seem to work... but at least i can use the phone like ipod until the new firmware comes out..
P.S: it wasnt working before because i was using an older version of QuickPwn...
I would recommend you DO use an'older' version - the quickpwn web address is unofficial and NOT quickpwn from the Dev Team. It is Beta written by a Russian programmer and I wouldn't go anywhere near it.
The official version ios in the download section here ad Modmyi.
Different 'piggyback' SIMSs work on different networks so if yours doesn't work by a new one off eBay from someone who guarantees it will work with your BB on your network.
He's referring to the "new" jailbreak software for iphone 3.0 beta 2. It is not approved by the Dev team.
No confusion.
www.quickpwm.com is NOT owned by the Dev Team. If you must visit that site I suggest you click on the 'About Us' button before getting the hell out of there.
There you will seeThis site is not to be trusted and you will lose all chance of using yellowsn0w and many other things if you use their poorly hacked software.This website is not associated with the iPhone Dev Team ( a famous group of iPhone hackers). The QuickPWN jailbreaking software was developed by the iPhone Dev Team and poorlad.

Research Interests

PhD Topic / Area
The study focuses on the significance of geographical location and temporal contexts, including the social, economic and educational landscapes in which young people are situated, for their aspirations and decisions about post-compulsory education and employment. The research addresses the question, to what extent does space, place and time bear upon and frame the decisions which young people make about post-compulsory education (including further and higher education), training and employment? Existing 'choice' literature has suggested that the choices, decisions and transitions which young people make regarding further and higher education and employment are strongly associated with social class and ethnicity. This research, however, aims to transcend this focus on social class and ethnicity and to additionally highlight 'geography' and 'time' as important conceptual tools for understanding how education and employment decisions and aspirations might be framed by these factors.

(a) close a sale with a customer who already wants what you're selling, or
(b) sell to someone who's not even aware they might want a product like yours, much less why they should buy it from you?
Easy, right?
Every day I meet entrepreneurs who beat their heads against the brick wall of (b) while giving little or no time to (a).
Here are just a few examples:
1. Raising Money
Andy and I make every effort to be transparent about our approach to early-stage investing. We're both active bloggers and social media users. We list most of our existing investments on our website. We have a "what we do" page that tries to spell out in very simple terms what we look for as investors. We're on AngelList, LinkedIn and a dozen other places besides.
In addition to many the well-crafted + thoughtful investment inquiries we receive at Founders Co-op, we also get silly amounts of unsolicited financing requests -- promoters of South American gold mines, Chinese import/export deals and similar "once-in-a-lifetime" investment opportunities seem to think their "to whom it may concern" inquiries will spark our imaginations and open our wallets.
These unsolicited funding appeals are laughably off target, but I see inexperienced entrepreneurs do the exact same thing with their investing outreach all the time.
Whether you're raising angel or VC money, the single most important thing to remember is that investors are actually just people. A fund is nothing more than a legal wrapper for the human beings behind it, and those humans make decisions based on a very personal set of patterns, heuristics and habits developed over a lifetime of experience.
The shortest path to a successful fundraise is to show how your company is leveraging patterns of success that relate directly to those that made your target investor money in the past, and/or fit their current worldview on what's coming next.
If your business touches themes they love and markets they understand, and your team has the mix of business- and product-building skills they've seen win in the past, your job is (relatively) easy:
All you have to do is convince them that you're going to fucking own the market you're tackling -- and that it's a market worth owning -- and they might write you a check (as long as they don't have a conflicting investment already in their portfolio).
If you make the mistake of thinking of investors generically as fat, flapping wallets that will open for any risky bet if you just say the right magic words, you'll waste a ton of both your time and theirs. Raising money is hard enough, but it's practically impossible if you have to educate investors about your market and why they should care before you even get a chance to pitch.
Product-market fit it as important in raising capital as it is in building your business, which brings us to the second example...
2. Finding Product-Market Fit
There's not much to say here that Eric Ries and the Lean Startup community haven't already beaten in to entrepreneurs' collective consciousness, but I'll add a few comments from my own experience.
Like investors, entrepreneurs' actions are informed by a very personal history of views, habits and lessons learned, acquired over their lifetime of experience. By definition, entrepreneurs seek opportunity -- often using analytical frameworks that take them far beyond their personal experience base.
The error happens when entrepreneurs extrapolate patterns from their personal experience base to domains where there is no data to suggest that they apply.
Many, many times, I see entrepreneurs fall in love with an "opportunity" in a market that has no demonstrated appetite for their solution. (My own personal Waterloo along these lines was Andy's and my experience at Judy's Book, about which I have written at length).
Because they love their own idea so much -- and are so convinced it is the right thing for the market -- they take on the "education selling" challenge with the zeal of an evangelist, despite a demonstrated lack of interest on the part of their target customers.
Markets change, innovation happens and disruption ensues -- some level of market education is often required for a new service to thrive -- but evangelical selling is a brutally hard way to build a business. The classic investor cliche -- "be a pain pill, not a vitamin" -- is a good place to start:
When you talk to prospective customers about your offering, do you have to first educate them about what problem of theirs you solve before you get to the part about why your solution is the right one?
If the answer is "yes", you're either talking to the wrong customers, or you have a huge uphill climb in front of you.
Raising money and building a successful business are both brutally hard. Make your life easier by:
- solving problems that actually need solving
- selling to customers who would happily pay you *right now* for a solution, and
- building a team -- investors included -- that shares your passion for solving those problems better than anyone else in the world.

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
Dogs who comforted students after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT last December visited Toledo on Wednesday.
The dogs visited Trinity Lutheran Church on Glendale Avenue to comfort students and church goers after the sudden death of a student's mother.
Lutheran Church Charities brought the dogs to Toledo from Addison, Illinois.
"We came in yesterday. We came in the night before, but we were with kids yesterday, yesterday at the funeral home and in classes today. And you can just tell they were, from the comments from parents they talked about it and were happy to see the dogs back today," said Lutheran Church Charities President Tim Hetzner.

Are you joining Red Band Society? Will you book time for The Mysteries of Laura?
Now that both dramedies have premiered, we want to know if you think it's a hit or a miss — and what you think of every new show this season.
One of the trickier balancing acts of the season is being performed by Fox's Red Band Society (Wednesday, 9/8c), which aims to be a feel-good show about kids who feel bad. As in indefinite-hospital-stay bad. Amputation bad. Eating disorder, heart disease and cancer bad.
Like the song she belts out in the pilot, Debra Messing says her Mysteries of Laura character is a warrior.
"She's a badass," Messing tells us in the video below. "I love that she is the top of her game at work, she doesn't care what she looks like, she is deeply in love with her sons [and] no matter what kind of torture they do on the school or the babysitter or whatever, she always has their back."

Probiotics are beneficial, or "good" bacteria (mainly Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium) that are similar to those normally found in your body. They increase the number of beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract, repair the gut lining, help in producing vitamins, and even detoxify the body. One of the main reasons we lose beneficial bacteria is from using antibiotics. While the antibiotics destroy the infection and harmful bacteria they also destroy the good or friendly bacteria.*
WATCH: The Pros of Probiotics (video)
In addition to antibiotics there are other factors such as improper diet, toxins and stress that can also destroy the beneficial bacteria. Since we all have some degree of stress, and eating a healthy diet is a work in progress for many, it is a good idea to supplement with a daily probiotic. I know many people who are regularly take antacids and prescription pills for acid reflux and indigestion. Including probiotics along with a healthy diet can alleviate those symptoms.
Many doctors and researchers believe that good health starts in the digestive tract and imbalances can lead to more serious illnesses. Studies show that regular use of probiotics is good for the health of the whole body since they improve immune system function. When beneficial bacteria in your body is low and you don't replace it, other serious issues such as urinary tract infections, fatigue, and even irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, Crohn's disease and skin problems can occur. Taking probiotics simultaneously with antibiotics can also prevent vaginal yeast infections in women.
RELATED: 31 Healthy Breakfast Recipes: Cereals, Smoothies & Egg-Ceptional Options
You can get your probiotics through diet by eating things such as yogurt (make sure it has active cultures or acidophilus) but try to eat plain yogurt since flavored yogurt tends to have a lot of sugar. Other foods include Kefir, natural pickles, sauerkraut, miso, and fermented and unfermented milk. If you need more probiotics than you can get from food, especially if you are taking antibiotics, you can buy a probiotic supplement. Make sure it says, "live and active cultures" and contains lactobacillus and bifidobacterium. Most need to be refrigerated and always check the expiration date.
*The very first thing you should do before considering any new supplement is speak with your doctor about why you feel they may benefit you.

Continuing Pharmacy Education Frequently Asked Questions
Home > School of Pharmacy > Continuing Pharmacy Education > Frequently Asked Questions
Northeastern University Bouve College of Health Sciences School of is an accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education. We deliver live, online and enduring programs for pharmacists. Co-sponsor of our programs include the pharmaceutical industry, pharmacy professional organizations, medical communications companies, other colleges of pharmacy and other healthcare providers.
What is a podcast?
Podcasting is a web-based broadcast medium that will enable our users to easily download our CE activities in MP3 format. A podcast is a document which contains items with web links to longer versions of audio or video files placed on the Internet for anyone to subscribe to. Media files are made available online thus allowing software to automatically detect and download new files. A podcast is comparable to an audio magazine subscription in that the subscriber receives regular programs that he/she can listen to at his/her own leisure. Most podcast receiver software allows users to schedule their downloads.
How many hours of CE do I need to maintain my license in Massachusetts?
A registrant seeking renewal of a personal registration must complete a minimum of 1.5 CEUs (15 contact hours) each calendar year of the two-year renewal cycle. Of the 15 contact hours, effective for the renewal period beginning January 1, 1991:
- At least two contact hours shall be in the area of pharmacy law; and not more than ten contact hours shall be acquired through home study and other mediated instruction.
- No CEUs may be carried over from one calendar year to another. http://www.mass.gov/dph/boards/pharmacy
What does ACPE stand for?
ACPE stands for the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education. ACPE is the national accrediting agency for pharmacy continuing education. ACPE assures the quality of continuing pharmaceutical education programs by evaluating the providers of CE and by monitoring the quality of their educational activities. ACPE also provides a basis for uniform acceptance of CE credits among the states. http://www.acpe-accredit.org/default.asp
How do I know if a CE program is ACPE-accredited?
To determine if a program is accredited by ACPE, look for the ACPE logo and a fourteen digit number on information brochures regarding the program.
When will I receive my statement of continuing education participation?
Following participation in the program and completion and submission of a signature sheet and evaluation form, we can issue your continuing education statement of credit. You should expect a statement via postal mail within 4-6 weeks following the program.
What if I've lost my continuing education statement of credit?
Duplicate statement of credits can be issued in the case of a lost statement of credit. Please contact our office and we will reissue the statement of credit. Please have as much of the following information available as possible in order to facilitate the process: name of program, date of program, ACPE number.
Can I receive partial credit for a course, if I can't stay for the whole program?
It depends on the program. Some of our annual conferences are organized as two separate days. If you can register for one day, without the other, you could receive continuing education for just one day of programming. But, in general, you cannot receive partial credit (e.g. 2 hours of a 4 hour program) for our live coursework. You must attend the course in its entirety.
What's the difference between certification and a statement of credit program?
The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) states that: "Certification is the process by which a non-governmental agency, such as a professional association, grants recognition, following assessment, to an individual who has met certain predetermined qualifications specified by that organization." Examples of certifications in pharmacy include:
- Board Certified Nuclear Pharmacist (BCNP)
- Board Certified Nutrition Support Pharmacist (BCNSP)
- Board Certified Oncology Pharmacist (BCOP)
- Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist (BCPS)
- Board Certified Psychiatric Pharmacist (BCPP) (see the Board of Pharmaceutical Specialties for more information) and
- Certified Geriatric Pharmacist (CGP) (see the Commission for Certification in Geriatric Pharmacy for further information).
In contrast, "certificate programs in pharmacy are structured and systematic post-graduate continuing education experiences for pharmacists that are generally smaller in magnitude and shorter in time than degree programs, and that impart knowledge, skills, attitudes and performance behaviors designed to meet specific pharmacy practice objectives." "The successful completion of one or more Certificate Programs in Pharmacy may be among the requirements for certification or re-certification, as determined by the organization granting certification.
Reference: The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education. Standards and Quality Assurance Procedures for ACPE-Approved Providers of Continuing Pharmaceutical Education Offering Certificate Programs in Pharmacy. Chicago, 1999.
For Internet CE:
Can I print additional copies of my Statement of Credit?
Yes. All additional copies will be marked as "DUPLICATE".
How do I know what questions I missed on a test?
All incorrectly answered questions will be displayed.
What happens if I fail a test?
Review all the program material and focus on those questions that you marked incorrectly. You may take the test again at no additional charge until you pass.
Can I receive continuing education credits for your programs in my state?
Although the majority of our programs are accepted for continuing education credit in all states, it is ultimately your responsibility to find out whether our programs will be acceptable for continuing education credits in your state. If you have questions, we recommend that you contact your state board.
If my state board requires that my continuing education programs be submitted, will you send my records to the state board of or will I have to do it?
You are responsible for all interactions with your state board.

This product has been discontinued
I liked this cream. It was one of the better products by Burt's Bees!
I wonder why it has 'vanished' off the market. The scent is good and it leaves the skin dewy and fresh, without being oily, sticky or greasy. I hope BB restores this product! :(
I received this in a sampler kit, and I must say I really wasn't a fan, The consistency was akin to a much harder body butter, very dense (I had to scrape it out with a fingernail) yet greasy like vaseline when I warmed it between my fingers to spread on my face. I persevered with the sample, using it as a night cream (there is no way I'd have this on my face during the day, as it was so dense and greasy) but I can't say there were any positive results on hydrating my stressed skin, and I noticed my pores clogging, ew. Also, it smells like candy bananas which I really didn't like. I was so glad to finish the tub of this and definitely won't be rebuying!

I absolutely love this cream! I can't live without it! I've been using it for several years now on and off but decided this is the one for me. My skin is normal to dry and flakes on my nose constantly. This cream not only smells wonderful (like marshmallows, go figure) but it feels wonderful too. It instantly quenches my skin and makes it super soft and radiant. I only use it at night though since it is a thicker cream. It will leave you looking a bit oily if used in the day. Maybe powder would help?? When I wake up in the morning, my skin is literally glowing. I believe it has helped reduce the appearance of wrinkles around my eyes and on my forehead too. I always get compliments on my great skin and I believe it is because of this cream. It is a bit hard to find In stores, but you can easily buy it online. Don't ever stop making this Burt's bees!!

This was not anything special. it smelled a little weird, but I eventually got used to it. It doesn't absorb right away and it makes my skin shiny. It definitely doesn't 'vanish' like it said it would. it didn't make me break out, but it didn't help with my acne either. It did clog my pores. It claims it's for all skin types, but I disagree. I would not recommend this to those with oily skin. Those with dry skin shoudl also stay away from it. It made even me peel. This is only for normal skin.
I got this cream in a sample size with a kit given to me at Christmas. I loved the texture of it, it was thick but not at all waxy (I was very confused reading the reviews that said it had a waxy, oily consistency...bad batch, perhaps? It does happen.). I do agree that it is meant for more mature skins. It was too rich for my skin, which can get very dry, but I live in a very mild climate and don't have to contend with harsh, dry winters. I ended up giving it to my grandmother, and it did wonders for her skin. It helped calm her rosacea, and gave her skin a very pretty glow. She liked it so much she went out and bought a full-sized jar once she used up the sample.
I will say that the shelf life of this cream is short, as it is with most of Burt's Bees products. This is hardly surprising though, considering it uses natural ingredients. It's not something you can use every once and a while, then come back to months later and expect it to be the same.

First, it smells really weird! It doesn't really live up to its name as "vanishing" creme as it leaves an oily residue on your face(I have a very dry skin by the way) But i guess it's O.K. to use as a night creme tho. And it does cause a bit of break outs.
I can't believe i haven't left a review for my most fav BB's product! Shame on me :) Ok so i went on this natural kick & was making my own products but i just couldn't get the moisturizer down good enough so my next option was to find something local & not too expensive that was good for my skin. I picked up a travelers kit that had this in it, i fell so much in love w/ this that i hunted down a large jar of it. It works great for my super dry skin & the smell doesn't make me sneeze my head off (i have bad allergies), its actually kind of yummy smelling...like vanilla marshmellows. My daughter even uses this now when she has her skin flare-ups. She has some kind of dermatitis on her nose area & so far this is the ONLY thing that makes it go away (shes only 13).
The only issues w/ the large jar is that after a while it seems to seperate, even after mixing it up some it isn't quite right and its hard to find in stores. Oh well it still works so i'll ignore the seperation & keep hunting when i run out :)

I really liked it. If I could find it, I would buy more.
Oh, I remembered buying this cream b/c of the word "vanishing" in the title. Thinking it is a fast absorbing cream, somewhat like the old-fashion type like Hazel-Snow. It is so waxy & greasy, even my dry skin in winter find it repulsive, not to mention that gawd-awful smell. Some greasy (rich) cream may feel greasy but given 15 minutes or so will absorbed into the skin. Well, this is not, sitting in the drawer for a few months, I chucked it away, come to think of it, I should stick a wick in the middle & light it as a scented candle.

Oily, smells exactly like bananas, and too rich for my skin. Not memorable and did nothing for my skin after a whole jar's worth. I prefer Nivea.

Study Provides Insight into Regional Nature of Substance Abuse
The overall rate of admissions to
substance abuse treatment across the
Nation remained stable between 1998
and 2008. By region, however, a new
SAMHSA study shows striking changes
and variations in admission rates.
For example, the rate of admissions for
alcohol as the primary drug has declined
by 15 percent nationally. In contrast,
admission rates for alcohol in West North
Central states (IA, KS, MN, MO, ND, NE,
and SD) remained the same.
"This study provides insight into the
regional nature of substance abuse," said
SAMHSA Administrator Pamela S. Hyde,
J.D. "By analyzing the shifting trends in
the reasons for admission to treatment,
policy makers, public health experts, and
behavioral health service providers can
better direct limited resources in their
states and local communities."
State Admissions to Substance
Abuse Treatment Services: TEDS
1998–2008 is a study based on data from
SAMHSA's Treatment Episode Data Set
(TEDS). TEDS is a reporting system
involving treatment facilities nationwide.
Developed as part of SAMHSA's Strategic
Initiative on Data, Outcomes, and
Quality, the study represents an effort
to inform policy makers and service
providers on the nature and scope of
behavioral health issues.
The study provides detailed charts and
tables showing the admission rates for a
wide variety of substances for each state,
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico
for each year over the course of this 11-year
period. A few highlights of specific drug
data by region are included in this article.
