Denver QB Manning named Comeback Player of the Year
New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning was named the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year Saturday, as voted by the Associated Press.
Manning, who received 31 1/2 votes to easily outdistance Minnesota Vikings running back and 2012 NFL MVP Adrian Peterson (17 1/2), completed 400-of-583 passes for 4,659 yards with 37 touchdowns against just 11 interceptions.
It was his first season in a Denver uniform after sitting out the 2011 season with neck problems. Manning underwent four surgical procedures on his neck.
Manning led the Broncos to a 13-3 mark and into the playoffs after completing a league-best 68.6 percent of his passes.
Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles (1) was third in the voting.

Is JC Penney really headed for a comeback?
Wall Street sees huge upside in the beleaguered retailer.
Fast forward to May, when the beleaguered retailer stunned Wall Street by reporting a quarterly loss that was double what was expected, suspended its dividend and said it no longer expected to meet its GAAP guidance for the year.
As a result, the Journal remarked, "Ron Johnson is getting a taste of what it's like to run a retail operation without world-beating products, and so far it is not pretty."
Johnson seems to have a vision. He wants to add stores in metropolitan areas to compete with Macy's (M) and Kohl's (KSS), which are currently eating's J.C. Penney's lunch.
As a former employee of JCPenney, I was so sad to see the store where I was employed for almost 30 years to get into so much trouble.
It is not the same store, not even close to it. I do not like the way the new advertisement is handled and them not having sales is not going to bring people in, even me.
Lets get back to the good quality of merchandise also, I have seen such a turn around in the clothes and makes it look like they are being purchased at a Walmart or Target. JCPenney can do so much better than they are doing if they listen to the customers who made them what they were.
Even with the Red Tag Sales they were in much better shape and making money than they are in today. Come on Managers and CEO's get things going again in the right direction. JM
went in today to check for a pair of running shoes - didn't have my size - checked the prices on some things I had bought before about a year ago - layered tee that I got on sale for $9 was now everyday low price of $15 - Island Shore shirt I paid $20 for was everyday low price $25 to $30 -
Not very crowded for a Father's Day weekend - didn't see any same sex couples shopping either LOL
I remember a year or so ago, my wife and I got one of JCPs '$15 off any item $15 or more" (or some great $$ figure like that). We went to get her a small item for $15 or so and ended up walking out spending over $200 on a jade necklace for my daughter's 21st birthday
BAD MOVE JCP.....bring back the customers...bring back the marketing strategy.
I hope Ron Johnson reads some of these posts. In my humble opinion, my local JCP sells a lot of very plain clothes for men at average prices. A St. John's plain polo shirt can't compete with a more updated shirt at Target for the same price.
I've also been in the area where they sell Keurig stuff and JCP's everyday prices are still higher than most (except Kohls - what is Kohls thinking?). Macy's, who usually is higher priced in all departments is lower priced i this area.
If the prices are the same as others, JCP has to offer something more. Personalized service? That would be different from the rest. Macy's used to do that and I loved it. If I was in the clothes dept someone would show me possible selections and it was very helpful. They weren't pushy at all. Whatever happened to that type of service? Ron, are you listening?

GENERIC NAME: lamivudine
BRAND NAME: Epivir, Epivir HBV
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Lamivudine is an oral medication that is used for the treatment of infections with the human immunodeficiency (HIV) and hepatitis B viruses. It is in a class of drugs called reverse transcriptase inhibitors which also includes zalcitabine (Hivid), zidovudine (Retrovir), didanosine (Videx), emtricitabine (Emtriva), and stavudine (Zerit). During infection with HIV, the HIV virus multiplies within the body's cells. The viruses then are released from the cells and spread throughout the body where they infect other cells. In this manner, HIV infection spreads to new, uninfected cells that the body is continually producing, and HIV infection is perpetuated. When producing new viruses, the HIV virus must manufacture new DNA for each virus. Reverse transcriptase is the virus' enzyme that forms this new DNA. Lamivudine first is converted within the body to its active form, lamivudine triphosphate. This active form is similar to a chemical, deoxycytidine triphosphate, that is used by reverse transcriptase to make new DNA. The reverse transcriptase uses lamivudine triphosphate instead of deoxycytidine triphosphate, and the lamivudine triphosphate interferes with the reverse transcriptase. Lamivudine does not kill existing HIV virus, and it is not a cure for HIV. Lamivudine was approved by the FDA in 1995.
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 100, 150, and 300 mg; oral solution: 5, 10 mg/ml
STORAGE: Tablets and solution should be stored at room temperature, 15 C to 30 C (59 F to 86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Lamivudine is used for the treatment of HIV infection and hepatitis B infection. It also is used off-label for prevention of HIV among individuals accidentally exposed to HIV.
DOSING: For the treatment of HIV infection the recommended dose for adults is 150 mg twice daily or 300 mg once daily for those weighing 50 kg or more and 4 mg/kg twice daily (not to exceed 150 mg twice daily) if less than 50 kg.
Neonates are treated with 2 mg/kg twice daily.
Children (1 month to 16 years old) should be treated with 4 mg/kg twice daily up to a maximum dose of 300 mg daily. Children (<16 years old) weighing less than 50 kg should receive 4 mg/kg twice daily up to a maximum dose of 300 mg daily. Children (>16 years old) weighing 50 kg or more should receive 150 mg twice daily or 300 mg daily.
Adults with hepatitis B are treated with 100 mg daily.
Children >2 years old are treated with 3 mg/kg daily up to a maximum dose of 100 mg.
For post-exposure prevention of HIV infection, 150 mg twice daily of lamivudine is administered in conjunction with 600 mg daily of zidovudine (Retrovir) for 28 days.
Lamivudine may be administered without regard to meals.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim) increases the concentration of lamivudine in the body. Zalcitabine (Hivid) and lamivudine may interfere with the activity of each other.
PREGNANCY: Use of lamivudine during pregnancy has not been adequately evaluated.
NURSING MOTHERS: It is not known whether lamivudine is secreted in breast milk. HIV infected mothers should not breast feed because of the potential risk of transmitting HIV to an infant that is not infected.
SIDE EFFECTS: The most severe side effects of lamivudine are pancreatitis, liver failure and metabolic disturbance (lactic acidosis). Lamivudine also causes a decrease in blood cells, muscle pain and weakness, and nerve damage in the extremities (peripheral neuropathy). Symptoms of peripheral neuropathy are tingling, numbness and pain in the feet or hands. Other side effects are fever, abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss, and difficulty sleeping.

Every organization that develops software or write scripts should embrace security development lifecycle (SDL). However, it remains a rare practice. That's a shame, because developing software with fewer security bugs better protects users and data for less money.
SDL is not just for full-time developers. I frequently document in enterprise assessments that the admin scripts and tiny programs created by network and infrastructure teams are among the most insecure software I find. They're often in folders readable by the entire network of users or they contain a gambit of vulnerabilities. Even worse, I often spot hard-coded admin passwords within the code.
[ Master your security with InfoWorld's interactive Security iGuide. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. | Get a dose of daily computer security news by following Roger Grimes on Twitter. ]
All companies should implement formal SDL programs and processes within their internal programming and scripting groups. The following contains some guidance to help get you started.
Ready, set, learn
Begin first with SDL training. You'd be surprised by how many programmers haven't been taught the basics of threat modeling and secure programming techniques. A simple Internet search will reveal dozens of books and courses on SDL. Microsoft, my full-time employer, recently published a free white paper on the subject. The company is also one of SDL's most vocal proponents and offers additional information on the subject through the Microsoft website, in the Security Development Lifecycle blog, in MSDN Magazine, and in a book from Microsoft Press on the subject by Michael Howard and Steve Lipner. Other good sources on SDL include SANS and the SEI (Software Engineering Institute).

Training Twice a Week. Only.
Crazy. It's a crazy idea.
I've heard it many times. Less is more. Quality over quantity. I believe in all those things. Except I have a hard time following through in the gym.
I'm trying. Right now. I've done 2 gym sessions in the last week. I am dying to do more. This is after going to the gym for 30 days in a row which resulted in doing 3305 pull-ups and a hundred or so more of push-ups and box jumps.
Now I'm consciously trying to stop myself from going to the gym more than twice a week. It's hard.
I long for squats and dead lifts almost as much as a good roll around in the bedroom. I'm not sure what that says about me. hmm…
Here's the plan, it's evolving as I go but the idea is to hit all the big moves twice a week and call it a day.
Start with a warm-up complex of:
- hang cleans
- front squat
- military press
- overhead squat
- bent over rows
I did 1 set of 8 reps each and it was killer last work out. I might bring it down to 5 reps instead. Increase sets/reps as it gets easier is my plan. It is just a warm up!
And then the main course:
- front squat (5x5)
- dead lift (5-3-2)
- bench press (5x5)
- pull-ups (as many as I want; at least 50 with as many sets as I need)
Go home.
This whole thing takes me about 40 minutes.
I stole this idea from Dan John. His plan is cleaner than mine. I feel obligated to do all the big moves if I'm only going to lift twice a week. His plan looks like this:
Day 1: front squat, bench press, extra upper body work
Day 2: dead lift, bench press, extra lower body work
Go home.
As usual, a 99% strict variant of the paleo diet underlies all this training. :) Variant being I eat cheese, tubers, drink wine and coffee—possibly other things that I can't remember.

Purim 2007
Purim is a great Jewish holiday, so good in fact that when someone's having too much fun, or a lucky streak, and you just have to cool them down, use the Hebrew expression "Not every day is Purim". Hint hint, tomorrow you're going down, pal.
So, what's the essence of this holiday: I'll spare you the historical background. These days, we celebrate Purim by dressing up - a masquerade - similar to Halloween, but without the trick-or-treat-junk-chocolate-bar-collect activities. But there certainly are special holiday foods to be devoured and the atmosphere is as joyous as can be. One of my favorite pastimes in the past few years has been to visit the Bnei Atarot school, right next to MyHeritage, on the morning of Purim, every year, with a video camera. It's great fun and I also feel as if I'm on an important anthropological quest: to document the generation. For you can tell a lot about the generation from the dresses and costumes that kids dress up each year. When I was a kid, not that many decades ago, but still in prehistory as far as Internet Time is concerned, those were naive times indeed. It was quite simple then, boys were cowboys, Indians or Popeyes, and girls were princesses or Queen Esthers. But it all went downhill in recent years. Mutant Ninja Turtles, industrial costumes from China, punks, hippies and drop-outs. But occasionally you can spot a unique, home-made, totally original costume that makes it all worthwhile. Years from now as I grow older I will prepare a 50-year research on this topic. But for now, enjoy the pictures below from our own celebration of Purim at MyHeritage, yesterday.

MyHeritage celebrates its 10 millionth member!
I remember meeting Yossi Vardi a few years ago. A well known entrepreneur, he's considered the father of the Internet scene in Israel. On his jam-packed desk was a printout of an old presentation he gave after selling his company Mirabilis/ICQ to AOL. Its smug title was along the lines of "Getting the first 100 million users is always the hardest". The achievement seemed impossible for me to grasp at the time. But, here we are at MyHeritage, on a much more modest scale, celebrating the addition of our 10 millionth subscribed member today, hardly a year since our Web site went live.
What does it mean to be a member of MyHeritage? I'll start with what it doesn't mean: receiving spam. We abhor spam and do not abuse the trust that our members have placed in us. Our members enjoy our cool face recognition features, and many of them use our genealogy products: the free Family Tree Builder, the free genealogy search engine MyHeritage Research, and our family network - Family Pages. We are hard at work to add new products and features for the benefit of our members.
Our 10 million members come from all over the world. To celebrate the diversity of our member base, we are about to launch a unique Member Map to allow you to explore the MyHeritage community geographically. Here's a sneak preview of it, the screenshot shows only Europe, Asia and the Middle East, but every corner of the globe is covered, and you'll be able to meet members from each country, and in the future see how family trees from different countries connect on the map.The size of each figure represents the relative number of members from that country. Nope, we don't have that many members from Afghanistan - it's one of the remaining bugs we still need to fix!

In this blog my co-workers and I will shed some light on what goes on behind the scenes at MyHeritage; we'll share our thoughts on genealogy and technology, and try to unravel one of the greatest mysteries of our time: how to have fun (not to mention a life) when working so hard in an Internet startup.

Have you ever felt your thought is not very independent ? How you solve it ?
Do the western children think of this question earlier than the eastern children ?
Is the concept important to us or it' s just one of the troubles we so-called " Everybody has had it . "
How are you guys ' parents leading you ?
As a 17-year-old student ,I have thought of this question long before .
I don't think come up with your own viewpoint is a shame . I don't want to " Passive accepted " . I can accept your core after you convince me .
I think an independent character is the fundamental of a person . So i begin to cultivating my own value of the world .
After i have read books , watched the speech . I sill have puzzles . But i can't debate with my friends because ,in china , people who concerned the mental issue become more and more lessening.
People will think you are a freak, your friends also don't want to talk this topic with you because it seems like too heavy and it will show to us how ignorant we are .
Some people often think that Chinese youth don't have their own spirits or creeds .
But i believe there must be many sober people .
We also have a mind system of our own ,we just don not know how to arouse it .

Apr 19 2013: I think differences between Chinese parents and American parents:
Chinese parents:all have high expections on their children.They all like their children to make their dreams to be true.Once they have children,Most of them spend ninty percent of their lives on their children.They all like to build a better life for their children.they always try to do as much as they can for their children.they think you are my children,you should listen to me mostly,they like their children to be together with them even children grown up...
America parents:they always try to help their children to be independent,they think they have their dreams,children should have children's dreams.They don't have too much restrictions on children's personal lives when they are adults.hehehehe...all about their from some reading.I haven't been to america,didn't talk to any america parents about it yet:)

text: Posted Online: Dec. 28, 2012, 11:37 pm Bravettes fall despite VanHyfte's big night Comment on this story By Dan Tomlin, firstname.lastname@example.com NORMAL — The Annawan girls basketball team is still farther along this year than it was last year. The Bravettes lost a heartbreaker to top-seeded St. Thomas More 62-58 in overtime and will have to settle for playing the 9 a.m. third-place game today at the State Farm Holiday Classic. The Bravettes got down by as many as 14 before going on a 13-2 run to start the second half to get back in the game. Celina VanHyfte continued to show why she's an all-stater. She scored 24 points and pulled down 15 rebounds, but she may have met an equal adversary on the opposite side. The Sabers showed off freshman Tori McCoy, who at 6-foot-4, was a ton. She scored 17 points, pulled down 14 rebounds and had three blocks. The biggest of those blocks came as time ticked away in regulation and Megan Foes attempted a game-winning jumper. In overtime, VanHyfte fouled out and the Bravettes failed to make a basket, settling for a couple of free throws. In fact, it was the charity stripe that kept Annawan in the game despite shooting just 29 percent from the floor. The Bravettes were a hefty 26-of-32 from the line, including 16-for-20 from VanHyfte. "That was one of the best efforts I've seen from Celina," Annawan coach Jason Burkiewicz said of his junior forward's 15-point second half. "Against a team like them, yes we're going to need her to play like that." Annawan, the smallest school in the 16-team field, will be playing Rochester for the third-place trophy, which could be an improvement upon their fourth-place finish two years ago. Last year, they finished fifth. "I couldn't be prouder of the girls, and I told them how great it was to see them come back twice," Burkiewicz said. "In the fourth quarter to come back from down 11 was tremendous. We need to put this away as experience."

"I ordered these thank you notes expecting them to arrive just a day or so before I needed them. They arrived a week earlier then planned. I am extremely pleased with the look and quality of these."
"I have always enjoyed receiving great, personalized, handwritten notes from folks - it means a great deal. The last one I received was made by tinyprints - so I decided to make my own. It took a while to find the right one for me, but I'm happy where I landed. The finished product is really sharp looking. The paper is nice quality, the printing is neat and professional. The options for personalization are just enough to let you make it yours and not let you ruin it:)"
"This card is beautiful and I would reccomend it to anyone.I wasn't really impressed with the design, but the paper quality adds to the design and really makes this card stand out."
"My cards were perfect, although I wish they were glossy on the outside. The printing is very nice, but a glossy outside might look a bit more professional. The were even delivered earlier than expected. A very nice product!"
"Despite beauty-print is rather small in size and flat to the card (not bubbled). Consider using first names only for a more personalization."

Authorities say they've arrested three people following the robbery of a mid-Michigan gun shop that left its owner with severe head injuries.
The robbery happened Monday at Guns and Stuff in Gladwin County's Sage Township, 90 miles north of Lansing.
The sheriff's department says two arrests were made Wednesday followed by a third arrest that night. The department says authorities found evidence related to the robbery, as well as several stolen handguns.
Names of those arrested weren't immediately released Thursday. They were in the Gladwin County jail Thursday awaiting arraignment Thursday or Friday.
The U.S. Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is aiding the probe.
Owner Richard Robinette was critically injured. Hurley Medical Center in Flint listed his condition as serious Thursday.

I finished the space dress this weekend! The shape is based on Simplicity pattern #3902, which is actually a kid's pattern but the girls' 14 fit me pretty well. The only modifications I made were a slight altering of the neckline (I made it more scoop-like as I don't really like "sweetheart" necklines) and the addition of side pockets, which are invisible as they're hidden in the seam. It's not perfect but it's pretty darn cool and it was good practice using the sewing machine for a greater variety of functions.
OMG! I bought a bunch of that same fabric with plans to make a sort of full swishy skirt with alternating panels of this and other fabric. (Thinking of making my own batik with some space-themed stencils that I've had lying around.) It looks so neat as a dress, too! :D

An Annual Review of Your Finances
Follow these six steps and make any necessary adjustments. Doing so will help you stay on course toward your financial objectives.
A comprehensive assessment of your financial plan will enable you to see how far you've come toward reaching your goals. You'll need to ask yourself some basic questions, then determine whether the actions you're currently taking still align with those goals.
Taking a Holistic View of Financial Planning
You probably have a variety of investment accounts to meet specific financial goals, such as a 401(k) plan for your retirement and a 529 plan for your child's college education. But those accounts aren't independent of each other. Investing additional assets into your child's college fund means you're putting less toward your retirement savings goal. And buying a new car every few years may mean you have less cash available for other spending priorities, such as family vacations. " To ensure you are making the best decisions, you should step back and take a holistic view of your financial plan," says Stuart Ritter, CFP®, a senior financial planner with T.Rowe Price. Every financial decision requires a trade-off. But with a clear understanding of what you hope to achieve with your money, you can ensure your spending and investment strategies help support your goals.
- Write down all your financial objectives, ranking them according to importance. Include when you want to meet each goal and its projected cost.
- Review your budget to identify areas where your spending does not reflect your personal priorities.
- Realign your spending plan and reallocate dollars into investment accounts that better reflect your goals.

Wrestlers heading off to state finals
"It may look like this happened all at once," said Blaine's head wrestling coach Craig Foster after his team won last Saturday's regional title, "but it didn't. These wrestlers who are doing so well have been working at this for years."
Thanks to such tactics as coming to school an hour early every day for 45 minutes of laps and sprints in the gym, Blaine's wrestling team has continued to show dramatic improvement over last year and previous seasons, putting together an 8-1 record for dual meets, losing only to top-ranked Othello. Blaine has won two of four tournaments during the season plus all three qualifying tournaments enroute to this weekend's Mat Classic XVIII state tournament at the Tacoma Dome. Blaine's last regional wrestling championship came 15 years ago.
Shane Hicks (171) was one of four Blaine wrestlers to go to state as a regional champion and the only one from Blaine who is unranked. "He did a great job down at [the tournament in] Mountlake Terrace. He's been improving steadily throughout the year," said Foster.
Other regional winners were Blayne Brandenburger (189), Calvin Moore (140) and Jacob Humphrey (103). John Brady (145) and Nick Jordan (160) also reached the finals.
Blaine will be taking 10 wrestlers, four coaches, two team managers and long-time team photographer Roland Spencer to join all the other qualifying programs in the state from class B through AAAA in one final grand clash in Tacoma. The meet begins Friday morning, February 17, and after it concludes the next evening the team will drive back to Blaine, arriving about midnight Saturday night, Foster said.
Boys lose close one to Lynden
Tuesday night Blaine played Lynden Christian, currently the top ranked team in the state, and nearly brought off the upset win of the century before coming up short 52-54. The performance, disciplined and balanced, bodes well for the upcoming post-season in which Blaine will go to the district playoffs as either the number 3 or 4 seed depending upon whether or not they beat Mt. Baker on Friday.
The end was exciting. With a little less than two minutes to go, LC's Kevin Burgers let fly with a long two ball, and it caromed off the rim as most of LC's long shots had been doing all night. Joe Paciorek gathered it and rifled the ball down court to sophomore post Cole Avery who worked inside and tried to force a shot through a LC triple team of Coston, Burgers and De Boer.
Burgers got a clean and devastating block from behind on the shot but lost the ball to Paciorek, who smoothly went up and over the top of Coston's outstretched hand (which at 6-7 is nearly level with the basket) for two points to pull Blaine within three at 51-54 with 1:21 to go. Another LC turnover gave Blaine the ball and with 24.3 seconds left Mike Pianki was fouled hard on a three-point attempt by De Boer but got the shot off. It missed and Lynden got the rebound just as the ref whistled De Boer, who began walking in circles holding his head, knowing he may have just handed the game to Blaine.
Pianki made one of two free throws to make it 52-54 with 23.1 seconds left. LC lost the ball again, this time to Ryan Shockey who called a Blaine time out. With 14.3 seconds left Blaine brought the ball up, got it to Paciorek who dribbled up untouched and with just a few seconds left soared toward the yawning bucket for a game-tying lay-up.
But he missed
the shot. He fought Coston for the rebound, going to the
floor, and when the ball rolled off Coston's
outstretched arms and out of bounds the ref called a foul
on Paciorek instead of out of bounds to Blaine, putting
Coston at the line with the chance to ice the game. Coston
missed, but LC grabbed the rebound and with it the victory.
Paciorek knows he had the #1 team in the state on its back hollering uncle. The miss was a slight blemish on an outstanding team and individual effort.Afterward coach Rucker said he was pleased with how disciplined his boys played.
Blaine next plays Mt. Baker in Deming on Friday, February 17, at 7:30, and district play gets underway the following Tuesday.

Rick Perry will struggle to recover from last night's nasty Republican debate
The CNN/Tea Party debate in Tampa, Florida was a defining moment for Rick Perry. After a little light sparring with Mitt Romney, he found himself the centre of a barrage of angry attacks from his opponents. The night confirmed his status as the frontrunner, but it also exposed his vulnerabilities. In the next few days, expect Rick Perry's numbers to fall.
It was a solidly Tea Party affair – Middle American and incredibly Right-wing. The set was red, white and blue with a big star in the middle: a mix of high camp and patriotism that suggested Captain America on Ice. Before the debate, three generously proportioned Tea Party ladies with hairdos out of the Ark came on to declare that the revolution was at hand. One cried, "We are going to pick the nominee, not the Republican Party … We have Washington on notice! We are taking back our country! We are just getting started!" She was followed on stage by CNN host Wolf Blitzer, who told the audience, "You are going to remember forever this moment in Tampa. Tampa?" he repeated. "Is that where we are?"
Things started predictably enough. The first question was about Social Security – which Perry had described several times as a Ponzi scheme – and Blitzer tried to manufacture an argument between Perry and Romney. It worked like a dream. Romney attacked Perry for describing Social Security as "unconstitutional" – a vote loser among seniors and independents. Perry pointed out that Romney once called Social Security "criminal". The body language difference was fascinating. Romney is the epitome of east coast cool – glacial, polite and always smiling that empty little smile of his. Perry the Texan smirked and wriggled around like he was too cool to care. He was on fine form in the first half of the debate. Perry was chasing the conservative vote, leaving Mitt Romney looking like a flip-flopping Yankee moderate. His killer line of the night was: "People are tired of spending money they don't have on things they don't want." Michele Bachmann, the Tea Party queen who so desperately needs to chip away at Perry's support, hung back from attacking him. Newt Gingrich tried to redirect the audience's anger at Obama. Herman Cain continued to spin those outrageous metaphors of his ("this economy is like zombie roadkill that has just been shot in the head with a shotgun made in Cuba", or words to that effect). It looked like it was going to be Perry's night.
Without warning, everything changed. A question was asked about a vaccination program for schoolchildren that Perry had issued by executive order as governor. The program ought to be an uncontroversial public health issue, but Tea Party folk hate any form of government compulsion. Bachmann struck Perry hard, accusing him of running Texas like a dictatorship. She added that the drug company that benefitted from the vaccination was linked to Perry's then chief of staff, and that the company had given the governor campaign money. Perry angrily replied that the donation amounted to $5,000. "If you think I can be bought for $5,000," he said though gritted teeth, "I am offended." For the first time (ever?), Rick Perry looked angry. Mitt Romney continued to smile glacially. Inside his head he could probably hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir signing "O Happy Day!"
Now it was open season on Rick Perry's record. He was booed when talking about immigration. Romney accused him of encouraging crime by supporting college benefits for the children of illegal immigrants. Jon Huntsman said that Perry's refusal to back a border fence was "treasonous." The governor looked tired. As he wore down, Bachmann wound up. She tore in to him for what she saw as tolerating criminality. Perry stopped grinning his way through generalities and tried to articulate something complex. The hostile audience booed louder. By the end of the night the governor looked exhausted. The tension was alleviated by an awkward fight between Ron Paul and Rick Santorum over foreign policy. Once again, Paul proved himself far too smart to ever be elected president.
On the one hand, the debate confirmed what pundits have been saying for weeks. Romney is now defined as a moderate who is staking his success in the primaries on his ability to attract independents and Democrats in the general election. Perry, in contrast, is running as the Tea Party candidate who will make "Washington as inconsequential to your life as possible." Given that the share of the Republican Party that is ideologically conservative is growing, Perry would seem to have picked the smarter strategy.
But tonight Rick Perry discovered what happens when you run with wolves. By pitching himself as an ideological conservative he risks alienating moderate voters worried about their Social Security payments. Worse still, he is claiming to be something he is really not. Perry started life as a Democrat and has accepted his fair share of federal handouts. His position on vaccinating children against disease and supporting the education of immigrants suggests he has a heart. As the Tea Party slowly realises that Perry is a pragmatist, not an ideologue, they'll punish him for the deception.
Last night Rick Perry saw a side of the national conservative movement that he may have been unprepared for. When healthcare was discussed, Wolf Blitzer asked if people who had failed to save enough money for treatment should be left to die. Several members of the audience clapped. One shouted, "Hell, yeah!" Is that really the vote Rick Perry wants to chase? Given his own record, is it a vote that he will automatically get? Following this crucial debate, Bachmann looks stronger and Romney still looks electable. Rick Perry's future is less certain.

Reid, Keeler facing same pressure
Eagles coach Andy Reid probably won't be back next season after his 14th year at the helm of the Eagles spirals out of control.
University of Delaware football K.C. Keeler almost certainly will be back for 2013, even after his 2012 season was far less than he expected it to be.
The seasons of the two teams are somewhat similar, with large numbers of injuries decimating key parts of both teams. For Delaware, it's the linebacking corps, running backs and, to a lesser extent, the defensive line. For the Eagles, its the offensive line.
As a result, the Eagles are 3-6 while Delaware is 5-5. It's generally believed that Jeffrey Lurie will pull the plug on Reid at the end of the season while Keeler will continue to coach Delaware....and that's as it should be.
Reid's teams have gotten progressively worse over the last several seasons, once Donovan McNabb's skills began to decline and with the death of longtime defensive coordinator Jim Johnson. A number of bad off-season signings (read Michael Vick, Nnamdi Asomugha and others) and bad coaching hires, has left the Eagles a shell of what they once were. Reid has gotten stale and remains stubborn with his offense...giving lip-service to running the football while continuing to throw a disproportionate amount.
Keeler's team has been wracked by injuries this year, and at the FCS level, that means depth problems. But Keeler keeps saying how much talent remains but it is inexperienced, hence the inability to win close games.
A number of fans on the UD message board are all for Keeler's sacking...which is ill-advised, in my opinion. They cite the fact that Delaware has made the post-season just 4 of 11 years under Keeler...and that is true. Three of those four times, the Blue Hens did make it to the championship game, winning once.
And while all of that points up the inconsistency of Keeler's teams, and by extension, coaching, it is not necessarily reason enough to replace him. Keeler's program has been like Tubby's...clean with quality kids. They play hard. They do community service. They are a credit to the university.
If winning was the end-all and be-all of football at Delaware's level, maybe there is a point to getting rid of Keeler. But it is not. K.C. is not the greatest game-day coach in the world. His offense is not very exciting. It needs a big-time quarterback to function at its best, and he has not shown an ability to groom a quarterback out of high school so that he can get multiple quality years out of him. But while fans may not always like the results, they have been good enough for him to stay at Delaware. Fans need to realize that other schools have caught up to Delaware, partly because the university has dragged its feet on improvements to facilities and the program itself. That's not something Keeler is responsible for. Unless K.C. gets the top players every year coming out of high school, it's unrealistic for fans to think the Blue Hens should be competing for a national title every year.
So KC stays...Reid goes...as it should be.

He's been a long time NFC East Coach, and now he's under fire for his team underperforming. Many talk show hosts, columnists and fans are calling for his firing.
We're talking about....Tom Coughlin, head coach of the Super Bowl champion Giants.
A lot of people forget that in late November and early December of 2011, many fans were calling for Coughlin to go because his team was struggling and under .500. But then the Giants won three straight games to get into the playoffs at 9-7, and ran the table to the Super Bowl.
So for all those calling for Coach Andy Reid's firing, you can just ask yourself whether the Giants would've won the SuperBowl had Coach Coughlin been fired mid-season.
Food for thought.

Physics is the science of matter, energy, and motion. It encompasses everything in nature from the behavior of the fundamental building blocks of matter to the large-scale evolution of the universe, galaxies, and black holes. Technological breakthroughs such as superconductivity, nanotechnology, and lasers would not have been possible without physics and physicists who have learned to use their knowledge of basic physical laws in novel and creative ways. At Clarion University, students will gain appreciation for nature by using the scientific method of investigation, and learn to effectively communicate their ideas both orally and in written form.
Our small student-to-faculty ratio allows for greater one-on-one instruction. Current faculty at Clarion University specialize in astrophysics, plasma physics, materials physics, nanotechnology, and energy sustainability. Graduates from Clarion University pursue a variety of careers or go on to earn advanced degrees in physics, engineering, medicine, or related fields. Some of our students choose to take advantage of our cooperative engineering program with the University of Pittsburgh and Case Western Reserve University, while others choose to apply their major to our highly successful program in secondary education.

Demilitarizing Life & Land
The Fellowship of Reconciliation pursues a vision of a free and "demilitarized" world in which the Earth's resources sustain life and promote the well-being of all people.
To do so, we challenge economic exploitation, work to eradicate racism and religious intolerance, and call attention to imperialistic U.S. foreign policy. As we continue to speak truth to power, FOR engages in an ongoing interfaith dialogue to shift the collective unconscious from a fear-based military culture to a peaceful world community grounded in faith and nonviolent justice.
At the start of 2011, we launched a series of projects, campaigns, and collaborations to demilitarize life and land in the Americas and the Middle East.
What does demilitarization mean?
Wars are fought by people. All conflicts and occupations require not only leaders to sound the battle cry and soldiers to do the fighting, but also a body of citizens to justify and support war causes. In the U.S., many people are mesmerized by a military culture with a corporate structure that profits through arms production and sustenance of armed forces, and who unwittingly pay taxes that feed the war machine.
Of life and land
Most wars are fought to control land and resources and, ironically, the desired resources and land are squandered and ravaged in the process.
FOR is working to shift the national and global ideologies that glorify and support war to a culture of peace and nonviolent justice. In collaboration with FOR Chapters across the country, Religious Peace Fellowships, and partners, FOR USA is striving to build a movement of people who chose to live nonviolently in preservation of life and land.
FOR invites our members to promote our demilitarization movement through local and regional efforts that we support while we continue our national and international work through three task forces. Our task forces target hotbeds of violence and military activity in the U.S., Latin America, and the Middle East.
Task Force on Social, Economic and Racial Justice
Building on FOR's legacy and principles of anti-racism and conscientious objection, the Task Force on Social, Economic, and Racial Justice has trained hundreds of young people in nonviolent direct action, registered over 200 conscientious objectors under the age of 27, and continues to support local and national actions toward a demilitarized economy. FOR's landmark work to desegregate interstate buses and challenge racism in partnership with the Congress of Racial Equality and other pacifist organizations during the Civil Rights Movement demonstrated that compassionate, holistic work is essential for justice. This task force continues the work in collaboration with veterans, grassroots organizers, artists, religious leaders, and environmentalists to expand the understanding of active nonviolence, justice, and counter recruitment.
I Will Not Kill
Through the I Will Not Kill initiative, this task force is building a youth movement to stand against gun violence and oppose military service. I Will Not Kill explores ways to stop the depravation of young people, especially in low-income communities and among people of color, particularly in major cities like Chicago, New Orleans, and New York where gun violence is continuing at alarming rates.
Task Force on Latin America and the Caribbean
For more than 27 years, FOR's Task Force of Latin America and the Caribbean has endeavored to protect human rights in this region of the world through research, education, and direct action. This task force is responsible for groundbreaking research that exposes the profound impact of U.S. military funding of oppressive regimes and the deleterious effects of U.S. military bases. Working in collaboration with sister groups in the U.S. and in Latin America, the task force has been a part of successful efforts to close military bases in Panama, Puerto Rico, and Ecuador, and to hold the U.S. responsible for the cleanup.
We have worked closely with groups in Colombia to oppose the 2009 US-Colombia military cooperation agreement that granted the US access to all military bases and are currently active in the Continental Campaign Against Military Bases. We are also supporting the growing anti-militarism movement in Mexico, which has experienced nearly 40,000 murders since the Calderon government, driven partly the U.S. Merida Initiative, declared a drug war in 2007.
Through a physical presence on the ground as well as political work with civilian and military officials and the diplomatic community, FOR teams provide security and visibility to the peace community of San José de Apartadó, the Campesino Association of Antioqua and the Medellín Youth Network. These Colombian efforts are inspiring examples of demilitarization of life and land through military resistance, youth organizing to create alternatives to war, and campesinos (farmers in Latin America) uniting to promote land sustainability.
Task Force on the Middle East
Like the other task forces, FOR's Task Force on the Middle East employs research, education, and outreach to promote demilitarization in this highly conflicted area of the world. This task force's mission is two-fold, with a domestic and an international focus.
Domestically, the task force strives to raise awareness about the billions of dollars wasted and the thousands of lives lost in U.S. military operations in the Middle East, maintains an interfaith dialogue, and speaks out against the wave of Islamophobia. Since the 1920s, FOR has sent delegations of peacemakers to troubled regions of the world and to nations regarded as U.S. enemies. These efforts continue in the task force's civilian diplomacy trips to Iran, in which delegates experience firsthand the beauty, hospitality, and humanity of a nation that Americans might otherwise fear. Proving the true heart of people thought to be enemies is also behind FOR's support of "Our Journey to Smile," the group of Afghan youth peace volunteers that have reached out to the world to "raise the possibility of love."
Internationally, the task force works to promote understanding of the depletion of the region's resources and destruction of life and land due to war, especially in Israel-Palestine and the countries of the Persian Gulf. The task force seeks to reconcile the decline in respect and justice between the Middle East and U.S. through education and people-to-people outreach.

Composed of inbound, outbound, domestic tourism and day trips. Analysis of employment generated through tourism and its contribution to the economy are also available.
Bedstock surveys show the number of tourism accommodation establishments and bed spaces in Wales by accommodation type.
This is the source of official statistics on day visits by British residents to destinations throughout Britain. The survey aim is to measure the volume, value and profile of Tourism Day Visits taken by GB residents to destinations in GB.
Monthly results on the number of overseas visitors to the UK, UK residents visits abroad, earnings from overseas visits, expenditure of UK residents going abroad.
Quarterly results on the number of overseas visitors to the UK, UK residents visits abroad, earnings from overseas visits, expenditure of UK residents abroad.
Estimates of the economic value of tourism within UK regions, sub-regions and local areas.
This report is a review and appraisal of sustainable tourism indicators, from domestic perspective. an international and domestic perspective.
This report includes a national level analysis of Gross Value Added (GVA), turnover and employment in the tourism industries.
This release is part of a series of short articles about various aspects of employment in tourism characteristic industries in the UK.
This release is part of a series of Tourism Satellite Accounts produced by ONS following international guidelines and methodology.
Presents the annual estimates of overseas travel and tourism based on interviews conducted with passengers as they enter or leave the UK by the principal air, sea and tunnel routes.
Journeys made by all members of the household (including children).
Travelpac consists of a series of data files derived from the International Passenger Survey (IPS), giving access to data in a form suitable for use by small businesess and students.
The occupancy surveys provide trend information on the demand of tourist accommodation in Wales.
There are two main types of tourism that impact the UK economy: international and domestic tourism.
International tourism looks at trends in overseas residents travelling to the UK, and UK residents travelling abroad. This is analysed by region/destination and visitor spend using the International Passenger Survey (IPS). Carried out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), data are used to compile travel accounts of the balance of payments, estimate the numbers and characteristics of migrants into and out of the UK, and to provide information on international tourism.
Domestic tourism measures the volume and value of tourism trips within the UK by UK residents. The UK Tourism Survey (UKTS) measures all tourism trips with at least one night spent away from home, and it is used to collect details of the trips taken and of the people taking them. It is carried out by a commercial firm on behalf of Visit Britain, which funds it in partnership with Visit Scotland, Visit Wales and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board.
Another important component of domestic tourism is day trips. In 2005 they accounted for over half of all tourism expenditure. The Leisure Day Visits Survey was coordinated by Natural England and it includes day trips taken in England by respondents living in England.�
The impact of tourism on UK employment is measured by using employees data from the Workforce Jobs Survey and self-employed data from the Labour Force Survey. A table of tourism employment is published on the ONS's Annual Abstract.
Technical Data
The International Passenger Survey
The International Passenger Survey (IPS) is a continuous survey carried out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the results of which are used by a number of government departments. The results are based on face-to-face interviews with a random sample of passengers as they enter or leave the UK by the principal air, sea and tunnel routes.
The main aims of the IPS are to:
collect data in order to measure travel expenditure and how it impacts on the UK balance of payments (on the travel account)
provide detailed information about overseas visitors to the UK for tourism policy
provide data on international migration
collect travel information on passenger routes as an aid to aviation and shipping authorities
Methodology and coverage of the survey
Travellers passing through passport control are randomly selected for interview and all interviews are conducted on a voluntary and anonymous basis. Interviewing is carried out throughout the year.
Since the IPS began in 1961, its coverage has been extended so that it includes all the main air, sea and tunnel ports or routes into and out of the UK. The only routes excluded from the survey are sea routes to and from the Channel Islands, the land border with the Irish Republic, and cruise ships travelling to and from the UK.
About 90 per cent of passengers entering and leaving the UK are covered by the survey. The remainder are either passengers travelling at night, when interviewing is suspended, or on those routes too small in volume or too expensive to be covered.
The IPS data are weighted to produce national estimates of all international travellers to and from the UK on a quarterly basis. Although some monthly data from the IPS are also published, a single quarter is the minimum period over which most detailed analyses of the data can be made. Annual national estimates are created by combining the four quarters of the year together.
The calculation of the weights on the IPS takes into account its complex sample design and information provided from other sources on, among other things, the non-sampled routes and time periods. For example, estimates of spending by travellers to and from the Channel Islands are provided by the Economic Advisor's Office in Jersey, and the Central Statistical Office in the Irish Republic provides information on travellers crossing the land border with Northern Ireland.
Where to find the results
IPS results are published in:
A monthly First Release on Overseas Travel and Tourism�
A quarterly Transport, travel and tourism (MQ6)�
Travel Trends, the annual report published in the autumn following the end of the fieldwork
Travelpac, a series of data files derived from the IPS, giving access to data in a form suitable for use by all
For more detailed information on the collection of IPS data please refer to the appendixes of the annual publication, Travel Trends.
Technical information on other tourism surveys, UK Tourism Survey (UKTS) and England Leisure Day Visits Survey (LDVS), is also available.
Day trips (IPS only)
Visits that do not involve an overnight stay. Day trips abroad made by UK residents as well as day trips to the UK made by overseas residents are included in the figures for visits and spending.
International Passenger Survey. A survey of a random sample of passengers entering and leaving the UK by air, sea or the Channel Tunnel. Over a quarter of million face-to-face interviews are carried out each year with passengers entering and leaving the UK through the main airports, seaports and the Channel Tunnel.
Leisure Day Visit Survey. Conducted approximately every three years as a survey of day tourism, it measures Leisure Day Trips and Tourism Day trips in England (2005) and Great Britain (2002/03).
Length of stay (IPS only)
For UK residents covers the time spent outside the UK, including the journey. For overseas residents it refers to the time spent within the UK.
Miscellaneous (IPS only)
Visits for miscellaneous purposes include those for study, to attend sporting events, for shopping, health, religious or other purposes, together with visits for more than one purpose when no one purpose predominates (such as visits both on business and on holiday). Overseas visitors staying overnight in the UK between another destination are also included in the miscellaneous purposes category.
Overseas visitor (IPS only)
A person who, being permanently resident in a country outside the UK, visits the UK for a period of less than 12 months. UK citizens resident overseas for 12 months or more coming home on leave are included in this category.
Spending (IPS only)
Figures cover the same categories of traveller as the number of visits figures except that the figures for overseas residents additionally include the spending of same day transit passengers. Spending also includes foreign exchange earnings and expenditure due to travel relating to the Channel Islands. Spending excludes fares for travel to and from the UK. For any traveller on an inclusive tour, an estimate of the return fare is deducted from the total tour price.
United Kingdom Tourism Survey. Measures domestic tourism; travel within the UK by UK residents. It is carried out by a commercial firm on behalf of Visit Britain, which funds it in partnership with the devolved administrations. It is based on face-to-face consumer interviews. Tourism is measured in terms of volume (trips taken, nights away) and value (expenditure on trips).
Visits (IPS only)
The figures relate to the number of visits, not the number of visitors. Those entering or leaving the United Kingdom more than once in the same period are counted on each visit. The count of visits relates to UK residents returning to this country and to overseas residents leaving it.
Visits abroad (IPS only)
Visits for a period of less than 12 months by people permanently resident in the UK (who may be of foreign nationality).

Formula concerns hurt Mead Johnson shares
Regulators are investigating whether a recent infant death was related to the company's Enfamil product.
We have no evidence that it wasn't a dirty bottle, unsanitary conditions or the water used.
Removing millions of dollars of formula is something you do if you have evidence. There is no evidence connecting the formula to the babies death.
Now we are over reacting to any news.
Imagine if it is the municipal water. Will all water in the US be turned off until we find the cause?
Of course not.
Sad as it is, we need real evidence of it being the fromula before we jump to conclusions.

(WRCB) – Tennessee's unemployment numbers are the lowest they've been since 2008, but it's not all good news.
State Labor officials say the unemployment rate for the Volunteer State in April was 7.8 percent. It's a tenth of a percent lower than March 2012.
But labor officials don't say new jobs are the reason for the drop.
"While Tennessee's unemployment rate has declined for nine consecutive months, April's decrease is mostly attributable to a shrinking labor force," said Commissioner Karla Davis.
Meaning fewer people looking for work, not more jobs, is the reason for the rate increase.
The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development says the labor force has declined each month of 2012.
