Kisii also has a considerable number of its tribesmen in the Diaspora; this has also greatly helped in the economic growth of the town with the remittances. It is also a centre town offering business connections to smaller towns in the region like Oyugis, Rongo, Nyamira, Keroka, Mosocho, Suneka.It also boasts of small airstrip in Suneka though remains largely under utilized main use being landing of small aircraft for medical rescue operations and for high profile individuals visiting the region. Though largely inhabited by the Kisii, it also inhabited by other tribe mainly Luo, Kikuyu and other smaller tribes.

Tony Rowe OBE
Chief executive and chairman
Tony left school at the age of 15 and joined the Royal Marines Band as a drummer and bugler. Made redundant from the Royal Marines in 1973, he started a company selling and repairing powerboat engines. He went on to race powerboats successfully becoming the British champion winning the Rouen 24hr powerboat race and setting a new British water speed record.
In 1982, the Government announced that they were going to open up the telephone market. Tony immediately recognised the potential business opportunity and persuaded Mark Delling and Brian Lodge, both of whom were working in the boat industry, to retrain and work in his new company, South West Telecoms, selling computers and business telephony systems.
The company has grown to become a complete communications business and has rebranded and changed its name to South West Communications Group to emphasise that fact.
Tony is also the chief executive and chairman of Exeter Chiefs Rugby Club, who play in the Aviva Premiership.
Tony was awarded the OBE for services to business, sport and charity in the 2012 Queen's Birthday Honours List.

Wading through indoor heated pools, the instructors at British Swim School teach independent swimming skills to learners aged 3 months and older, adhering to a curriculum devised by British national swimmer Rita Goldberg. The 30-minute one-on-one sessions and small-group lessons, containing six or fewer swimmers, elucidate essential techniques for water safety and the importance of speaking fluent manatee. Swimboree (ages 3 months–3 years with parents) and Young Minnows sessions (ages 1–3 years without parents) teach wee swimmers basic water-survival skills, such as the back float. Turtle One and Turtle Two classes focus on freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke maneuvers, honing more structured swimming skills in older kiddos. British Swim School's Shark courses enhance stamina and speed and teach even more demanding strokes, such as the butterfly and little-known mountain-goat flail. Certain British Swim School classes require parents to participate in the water or to supervise from the pool deck, and adults-only lessons allow grown-ups to refine their own abilities without the supervision of a toddler.
A dull thud shakes the padded floor as Ronny Lindsay drops a barbell after demonstrating squat thrusters to his student. All around him trainers bellow motivation, and the air is damp with the sweat of men and women of all ages powering through the workout of the day. This scenario plays out daily for Bruno and his team of trainers, each of whom holds at least a CrossFit Level 1 trainer certification and listens to a soundtrack of workout grunts on a loop before bed.
The trainers introduce exercisers to CrossFit gradually. They start by teaching On Ramp fundamentals classes and then roll out the workout of the day, which typically includes a nonstop sequence of exercises such as sprints, lunges, and pull-ups. Aside from the daily workout, the trainers oversee a specialized CrossFit Football program, which was created with guidance from an actual professional football veteran.
At CrossFit Miami, it's not rare to hear encouragements and instructions shouted English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Founded by Sao Paulo native Marcio Pizanelli, the gym and adjoining capoeira school boast an international staff of certified instructors hailing from Brazil, Venezuela, and the United States. Marcio and his team promote hard work and competition during each energizing workout, which might include weight balls, rowing machines, pull-up bars, or any other piece of the gym's extensive arsenal. Basic classes emphasize proper form for CrossFit's central lifts, and daily workouts keep muscles guessing with a variable blend of conditioning, strength training, core workouts, and getting chased by a terrier with gross, muddy paws.

We spoke with Jack Macaluso?Regional Social Media and Web Coordinator at Beauty Schools of America?about how the academies prepare students for careers in the real world and why it's important for the schools to give back to their communities.
On the schools' mission
Above all else, Jack says that the schools "try to focus and harness the students' creativity," while giving them all of the experience and practical skills they need not simply to be prepared to enter the work force, but to succeed and thrive. The relatively lengthy training programs ensure that aspiring stylists, cosmetologists, makeup artists, barbers, and massage therapists fully understand the intricacies of their chosen specialty, as well as what they need to do to continue advancing their future career according to Jack.
On the role of the instructors
With a roster of instructors that includes industry professionals with international spa and salon experience, Beauty Schools of America strives to give attendees a broad view of the numerous options open to them. Jack is also clear that the teachers' guidance isn't limited to classroom environments. When the advanced-level students are allowed hone their talents by performing treatments for actual clients, "an instructor or two will always be there to assist and answer questions," he says.
On the products that the students use during treatments
Students use brand name products like Moroccanoil, Sojourn, Nioxin, and others. Working alongside their instructors at modern service stations, these stylists use these products to craft en vogue cuts, color, styling and therapeutic practices.
On the schools' charitable involvement
Beauty Schools of America embraces opportunities to give back to its communities while providing real-world experience for students at the same time. Jack goes on to describe events where the schools' aspiring barbers and cosmetologists performed complimentary services for underprivileged residents, and he mentions one specific occasion when massage students provided free treatments for community members who participated in a bike ride dedicated to raising awareness about multiple sclerosis.

Censorship has not stopped Morrison from winning almost every award and distinction available: the Pulitzer, the Nobel (she was the first African American to receive one in literature), a shelf full of honorary degrees, and the naming of Beloved in 2006 as the best American novel of the past 25 years by a group of the country's most eminent critics. Morrison would be more than entitled to rest on this massive cushion of laurels, but she has continued to "do language" in its many forms. In addition to writing some of literature's modern classics and teaching in the creative writing department at Princeton University from 1989 until her retirement last year, she has authored a play, critical essays, children's books (cowritten with her son Slade), song lyrics and the libretto to an opera, Margaret Garner (based on the true story behind Beloved), which had its New York premiere in September. Now she is at work on a new novel. "Writing fiction makes me feel completely and totally free," she tells Glamour. "I relish my other obligations—mothering my children, being a good friend—but this is the place where nobody tells me what to do."
A few years ago, Morrison gave a talk at a university and afterward invited the audience to ask questions. One man stood up, but upon being face-to-face with the legend herself, he sputtered, "You wait for years, and the only thing that comes out of your mouth is 'I love you.'" We can very much relate.

Did I also mention I got a Tampa Bay String Ray snap too?
To answer my own question and to speak in the manner of the Brits, as that was where the Broncos received said cricket lesson, not bloody likely, mate.
Spending the first day in London, the Denver Broncos spent a little time getting acclimated to their surroundings by receiving a cricket lesson from a pair of Surrey County cricketers. While still licking their wounds after a brutal 59-14 loss at the hands of the Oakland Raiders, the Broncos elected to show up in merry old England four days later than their opponents on Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers. But I guess doing anything different than the 49ers is probably an advisable idea.
Said head coach Josh McDaniels (via AP):
"Everything's kind of going ahead as planned. We chose to have three good practice days back at our facility, somewhat of a normal preparation for our players, and then go ahead and make the trip in what we believe will still be enough time to get out bodies adjusted."
Now, is dealing with jet lag anything like making the necessary adjustments to counteract the thin air in Denver, because if that's the case, the Broncos automatically have the advantage. It's not? And their despicable loss to the Raiders was at home, too? Oh man, the Broncos are screwed. Coach Intimidator Guy might as well throw away that ginormous wooden cross he wears around his neck now, because everything's coming up Singletary!
Did I also mention I got a Tampa Bay String Ray snap too?
I savor, lead to I found just what I used to be having a look for. You have ended my 4 day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day. Bye

Diversity in the regulation of metabolic fuel use in mice selected for high locomotor activity
Date of Award
Degree Type
Degree Name
Master of Science (MS)
Grant McClelland
Despite diversity in locomotion, the mammalian pattern of metabolic fuel use appears highly conserved, and in most circumstances relative exercise intensity dictates the proportionate contribution of carbohydrates and lipids to energy supply. However, the mechanistic explanations for unity of fuel use patterns are not known. The aim of my study was to determine if fuel use during exercise could be adaptively altered or differentially regulated in animals selected for high activity.
To thi s end, I used a model of experimental evolution in which mice are selectively bred for high locomotion. Within this model, there are two distinct phenotypes of high running (HR) mice: HRmini mice, characterized by half-sized hindlimb muscles with increased mass-specific aerobic capacity, and HRnormal mice, with a normal muscle phenotype. I evaluated aerobic capacity (VO2max), fuel use during exercise, cardiac properties, and physiological factors involved in regulating fuel use, in one line each of: 1) non-selected control mice, 2) HRmini mice, and 3) HRnormal mice.
HR mice exhibited an increased VO2max compared to controls; moreover, HRmini mice had a greater VO2max than HRnormal mice. Metabolic and physical cardiac changes may have contributed to these VO2max differences. However, HRmini, HRnormal, and control mice did not differ in the mixture of fuels supplying energy demand, when exercise intensity was scaled to VO2max. HR mice achieved enhanced absolute fuel oxidation rates via different means. HRmini mice had increased cytosolic fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP), fatty acid transporter (FAT/CD36) mRNA, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) α mRNA, and activities of aerobic enzymes in skeletal muscle, as well as a different muscle recruitment pattern. Conversely, HRnormal mice had enhanced whole-muscle enzyme activities. Therefore, there are multiple mechanisms to enhance fuel oxidation rates with an elevated VO2max, and diverse mammals can differentially utilize these mechanisms without deviating from a conserved pattern of fuel use.

Heavy Duty Linear Actuators are widely used in truck repair devices. One of the striking features of heavy-duty actuators is that they have the capacity to lift trucks without any problems. The design and make of these actuators is truly world class and different from the rest. We at Progressive Automations, Inc manufacture high-end Heavy Duty Linear Actuators for commercial and industrial processes. The functioning of this actuator is different; it is installed underneath the lifting planks of the machine.
The process for working of truck repairing equipment is easy. The truck is loaded on the lifting device in neutral gear. During the lifting process, the driver needs to engage the truck in drive mode so that the wheels are locked. The truck cannot move forward or backward and results in quick lifting. The onboard computer sets pressure, the actuators then raises the planks with the use of set pressure. The computer also locks the functioning of actuators when the truck is in lifting process. This helps in lifting the truck smoothly, unnecessary jerks are avoided, and the operation concludes with smoothness. The truck is then fully raised on those planks with the use of actuators, now the computer again locks the pressure with the required setup.
The engineer can now perform repairs by going underneath the chassis of the truck. Once the repairs are finished, the truck is lowered by releasing the pressure slowly. The onboard computer handles the entire operation and locks the actuators when the truck is lowered. Feel free to log on to http://progressiveautomations.com for more information.

Happy birthday to my mother who turned 50 today!
Mum, thank you for raising me to the woman I am today. You've always supported my choices and my strange obsessions over reptiles, hobbits, shipping and recently Sherlock. You guided me where necessary, but most of all you taught me to stay true to myself. And I did.
I´m happy to have you as a mother. You´re kind, bright and always there for me. Thank you and happy birthday! Cheers =D

I am starting to think that heading into the CFL playoffs that maybe it would be better if we had one eight-team league and not two divisions from East to West. For me, this is revolutionary thinking, because I am a big geography guy. I enjoy the tradition of East vs. West and all that goes with it. But, I would like to see the conversation generated, the interest out there of having no divisions.
As it stands right now, with a no-division league, B.C. and Calgary would have earned the bye weeks. I realize there is one more game to go but let's go with what we have right now. Calgary would get the bye over Montreal for two reasons. First, they did split the head-to-head games but in the first game Calgary won 38-10 and the second game Montreal won 33-32. Which means Calgary out-scored Montreal head-to-head by 17 points. And overall, Calgary scored more points and allowed fewer points than Montreal so they would get the bye week.
The third-place team would be Montreal, and the fourth would be between Saskatchewan and Toronto, both with 8-9 records. They did split the season series but when you calculate the points allowed between the teams, the Riders scored 62 while the Argos scored 41. As well the Riders overall scored more points and allowed fewer, a good indicator of them being the better team.
So, B.C., Calgary, Montreal, Saskatchewan, and Toronto are in, with the last playoff spot going to Edmonton as they currently have one more win than Hamilton.
Playoff round one would be sixth-seeded Edmonton playing at No. 3 Montreal, and No. 5 Toronto at No. 4 Saskatchewan. Winnipeg and Hamilton would be out. Then in the second round it would be the first-round winners playing the two best teams with the top team, B.C., playing the first-round winner who had the most losses in the regular season and Calgary playing the winner with the best record in the regular season.
Now the big negative is that you break with tradition of East vs. West, because in my logic scenario it very well could be a Calgary and B.C. Grey Cup with B.C. being in home team colours as they had the best record. Two western teams are not the most attractive game to some as the East would not represented in the game, but, it would be the two best teams and I think that would off-set the East-West attraction.
If, big if, we had Ottawa and say Halifax in the CFL right now I would not be considering this as a 10-team league would include all, and that would make a difference. But as good as 0ttawa looks to return in 2014, until a stadium is built on the East coast of Canada, the hidden gem of eastern Canada remaining dormant a possibility.
The "fun" at this time of year is anticipating who will play whom based on standings of wins and losses. With no divisions from top to bottom these conversations would increase, not diminish as possibilities would be greater.
I often get asked what my favourite team is. I always say Toronto first because of my professional life, then Hamilton due to childhood experience. But more than favourites I want good games leading to greater interest. I wonder here out loud if a no-division league would not generate better games and higher interest.
The charm of the Canadian Football League is in its fight. A fight to keep present and respected on the athletic landscape in Canada. It has experienced the most wonderful electric moments and, let's be honest here, some adversity that was perceptively crippling. You have to experiment to progress and learn from the process to achieve. And maybe a one-year experiment may be an indicator of possibility.
You don't know until you try.

News flash: tanking is not for everyone. Duh. If it were, there wouldn't be a shortage.
The idea that somehow Blizzard is "obligated" to expend any and all available resources trying to make sure tanking is equally as fun for everybody as DPSing is totally misguided, and indicative of an entitlement mentality.
If this is how they want to fix the shortage, it sounds good to me. Let's see how it goes.

Single Moms: It's Black Fathers' Week
It's Black Fathers' Week in several cities across the country -- a time to encourage, celebrate, and support black fathers everywhere.
Kimberly Seals Allers: Remembering the importance of black fathers is so important in our community, where black women are disproportionately single parents. According to census data, 45.4% of black homes are headed by a single female, compared to 13.7% for whites and 22.3% for Latinas. Other studies show that black children are eight times more likely than white children to live with an unwed mother.
If you're one of these single moms, like I am, I want to talk to you about the importance of keeping your "wasband" in the picture. We women are notorious for taking good care of our families -- and the list of prominent, successful adults raised by single mothers runs long -- but our children still need their fathers. I've seen too many black single moms let off a triumphant, "My child doesn't need his father." "Her father doesn't deserve to see her." And it just isn't true. And we should never want that to be our truth.
My girlfriend and I have been having an ongoing debate ever since my husband moved out and I joined the ranks of the single moms. She has been one for years. She laughs at all my efforts to keep the wasband involved in the children's lives -- continuing to notify him of doctor's appointments, school conferences, recitals, and soccer practices, even though he doesn't show up half the time. She thinks I'm foolish for letting him see the children after he breaks the appointments, doesn't call, or has some other lame excuse.
Of course, it annoys the hell out of me. Sometimes it makes me cry. But the truth is, my son still breaks into the biggest Kool-Aid smile when he sees his Dad pull up in the driveway. He often gets so giddy at pickup that he starts running around like crazy. At five years old, his memory is short and his standards for what a Daddy should be are pretty low. My husband won't have this luxury for long. My 9-year-old daughter is already hip to his game and very much less enthusiastic about his arrival and pickup. But that is a call for my children to make. Pretty soon, they will see their father for who he is, good and bad -- children are so discerning, aren't they? But it is not my place to paint that picture for them. Their dad will have to deal with that himself when the time comes.
My girlfriend, on the other hand, has a laundry list of the things she dislikes about her child's father, which she points to as "character issues" and "lack of responsibility" -- which, quite frankly, are the farthest things from her 3-year-old's mind. That little girl just wants to run and play with her daddy, and my girlfriend's anger about their broken relationship gets in the way. She's caught in a control game, insisting on him playing by her rules. Her daughter is the biggest loser in this one. Now, I don't play when it comes to safety issues of any sort. But outside of a child being in some sort of physical or emotional danger, there isn't much reason, in my opinion, to keep children away from their dads. And as my mother will quickly tell me, when I launch into a complaining tirade about the wasband, "Well, you picked him and you slept with him." There's not much I can say to her after that.
So this week, I ask all single mothers to think about their children. Recognize the importance of our black men in our children's lives. Not everyone has a perfect dad. This is the reality of the world. But do something, even if it's small, this week to support and encourage the presence of your child's father in your little one's life -- despite his shortcomings. When it comes to raising strong, confident black children and revitalizing our communities -- we need our men.

She is the author of "The Mocha Manual to a Fabulous Pregnancy" and "The Mocha Manual to Turning Your Passion into Profit." Kimberly is a divorcing mother of two and lives on Long Island, NY.
Black Father's Week? Are you being facetious? I'm a Black single monther (my children's father is a Black Latino), and as far as I'm concerned, fathers of all nationalities, especially Black fathers, need to step up and take responsibility for the children they help to create every day, not just during the holidays, birthdays, and Father's Day.
I agree with both the article and scholarlymama. I have two children with my boyfriend and we live together and our relationship is pretty strong, and I'm very grateful that he is present in their lives. Especially since they are boys, and they need that male influence.
I am a 65 year whose father never did the right thing. It was too easy for me to survive with women and it was t-o-o easy for him not to care once he "GOT" what he wanted from my mother. She was young and pretty and not as responsible. He was "S-o-o-o-o handsome, had a"KILLER_DILLER LINE" that would have gotten to almost any woman. But here is the big "BUT", I would like to have had a few good memories of his presence in my early life. Now, he is gone and all that remains are bitter, ugly, uncaring memories left in my existence. HE DID WRONG AND MY MOTHER SHOULD HAVE HAD SOMEONE IN HER LIFE TO BETTER GUIDE HER IN THE "LIFE LESSONS DEPARTMENT".
So now we should celebrate when people do what they are supposed to or is that so uncommon in the black community that we need to declare holidays for that?
Why "black fathers" week? This is perfect example as to why some black people feel that everyone discriminate against them due to their race. It's only because they discriminate themselves and segregate themselves by putting them in a category all on their own. Pot, meet Kettle.
I completely agree with notamused
So, since Black Father's week is two weeks before Father's day does that mean that Father's day is only for white father's? I agree with notamused 100 percent.
I am glad you have made a statement about this one. As much as these black father's have been irresponsible many of these "baby mama's" have too, and use the irresponsibility of these father's to act childish. We black women have very strong minds and use it against these men when they break-up our home. Instead we need to use these capabilities to keep these families strong, instead of relying on these systems that actually destroy the situation even more. No one outside your family (including dad who will always be that) and God can do that. I mean the reason why many of us have ended up in this situation (not all) is because we have grown up in single-mother homes. Our boys have no example of what it is to be a man, and these women have no example of how to be treated. What are we going to do the same thing to our kids. At least, even if the man is a bad example, knowing him will teach our kids how to do better. I know plenty of men who stay in their children's lives because they do not want to abandon them like their own father did…I do stand in agreement with "Black Father's Day". Just as we mother's have a day to celebrate us doing what we are supposed to do, there should be a day for dad's too. Especially black father's who have been factually proven to own difficult hurdles than any race/gender combo in this country. But as long as we play the victim, and as long as these systems legally allow it, the black community will not rise as a whole. Individually yes, but not as a whole…
Why would somebody have a child with a man who had "character issues" and "lack of responsibility?"
Besides, whether or not to be a parent is a freedom of choice issue. If a father, black or otherwise, makes it clear that he does not want to have a child, and then the mother goes ahead and has that baby and keeps it anyways, he shouldn't have any obligation beyond financial to the kid. (It's a different story if he promised to be there and help raise the child before birth).
What a nice gesture; I hope they'll feel appreciated!

6-Week Screenwriting Workshop with Xandra Castleton (9/18 – 10/23)
Instructor: Xandra Castleton
Contact: email@example.com
Number of sessions: 6
Meeting Times: Tuesdays, 6:30 – 9:30 pm,
Dates: September 18 – October 23
Course fee: $375 $100 deposit required to reserve space. Class size is limited.
Contact the instructor to register. All deposits are non-refundable.
Description: This course provides clear guidance on the fundamentals of successful screenwriting within an open and encouraging workshop format, and is designed to accommodate all levels. Weekly writing exercises, readings, and script analysis will demystify the mechanics while guiding each writer toward the most compelling aspects of their screenplay idea or work in progress. The goal of the course is to ensure that writers understand how to use the rules of screenwriting structure, character development, scene writing, etc, and are able to apply them to their particular original vision for their screenplay without losing that sense of originality and emotional truth that rules sometimes inhibit. We will make the rules work for us, even if we bend them a bit.
There will be weekly exercises and viewing and reading assignments, some of them optional, so that each writer can focus their available time and energy on the work of writing. Readings addressing theme, premise, character, structure and the bases of satisfying dramatic action will be drawn from a variety of screenwriting text books, including "Alternative Screenwriting," "The Art of Dramatic Writing," "Making a Good Script Great," and "Story:Substance, Structure, Style and the Principles of Screenwriting," and will include interviews with noted screenwriters. Students will complete the course with a working outline of 1-4 pages and 3-10 pages of their screenplay.
Instructor Bio: Xandra Maria Castleton is a screenwriter, producer and story consultant whose scripts have served as the basis for award-winning documentary, television and film projects. Her films have screened at the Sundance, Tribeca, AFI and Rotterdam film festivals, among others. Her feature film, Full Grown Men, was the winner of the 2007 Sundance Channel Audience Award and was released nationally in 2008 by Emerging Pictures. She won an Emmy Award as the Series Producer of Independent View for her profile of John Waters. Xandra has an MFA in Cinema from San Francisco State University and is represented as a screenwriter by the Gersh Agency.

A Government change which means that those altering and restoring listed buildings will now have to pay VAT is likely to have a significant impact on efforts to try and bring many of Bradford's derelict and disused buildings back into use.
It is difficult to argue with Andrew Mason's description of the decision to remove the VAT exemption on such schemes as 'barking mad' as it could affect work to restore thousands of listed buildings around the district.
The Telegraph & Argus has long fought for disused and derelict brownfield sites to be used for housing as part of our Save Our Green Spaces campaign.
This latest change to try to boost central Government coffers will do nothing to help this cause.
Instead, it is likely to make developers think twice about taking on projects that could bring some of the many derelict mills, factories, chapels, warehouses and many other buildings around the district back into use.
Margins are already extremely tight for developers, and removing the current VAT exemption will add 20 per cent to material costs.
This will simply add to the pressure to build on our green spaces and leave existing buildings disused and derelict.
The Government needs to rethink this shortsighted decision.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
My guild's potential pool is pretty small, which helps. We laid out the requirements to be eligible when word of the staff came out & everyone was accepting of that plan. In short we're only letting regular attendees (90% attendance minimum during the last 3 months), whose main spec is caster DPS get a roll for the first part that drops. After that the winner gets the rest, unless they're not present, until the staff is done.
That is a good idea in theory, but I think you might still get hurt feelings in the end. If for example someone has a 100% attendance record, they might feel that the person who got the drop and just squeezed in at 90% is less deserving.
Hopefully your guild will work through that well, but it can still be a sore spot for some.

Don't Miss Out on These Energy Stocks
Austin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The country is still in midst of an energy boom. Oil and gas refining companies have seen solid growth this year. Companies are reporting earnings for the first quarter of this year. Here are three companies that you shouldn't miss.
A nice short run benefit
Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) is a downstream oil and gas company. It has three separate divisions, including refining and marketing, midstream, and chemicals. Its midstream division gathers, transports, and markets natural gas and natural gas liquids. The company has over 15,000 miles of pipeline under control and 10,000 retail outlets.
The company posted 110% growth in earnings per share on May 1. EPS came in $0.30 above analyst expectations, reaching $2.19 a share. Investors should be very happy with this earnings growth. But, there is some less than great news in this earnings report. Total revenue fell 9%.
Its refining operations exhibited growth in total earnings. Earnings for this division were $909 million for the quarter -- an increase of over $450 million. The earnings growth is due to the cheaper supply of domestic crude oil. The company's total production hasn't increased. The costs have just decreased.
This is a nice sign for investors in the short run. But, the real issue is sustainability. What happens when the cost of crude oil rises? Profits will decline. This particular earnings report isn't a strong indicator of future performance. As long as North American crude prices stay low, Phillips 66 will continue to see strong earnings. The company has a plan for 100% of its refining to be North American crude in the next few years.
Phillips 66 is also having an issue with one of its refineries in Sweeny, Texas. On May 11, the refinery lost power and had to be restarted. It will take a few days for the refinery to be running at 100% again. This will likely cause a slight dip in production for the second quarter.
Big gains to come in the refining space
Marathon Petroleum (NYSE: MPC) is a refining, transportation, and marketing company. The company met earnings expectations for its first quarter of this year. It posted $2.17 per share on April 30. Its EPS growth wasn't as high as Phillips 66, but it did grow 27% from the same time last year.
Revenue grew as well. Total revenue for the quarter was $23.3 billion, up 14% from the same time last year. These are two very strong numbers. Earnings grew by a higher rate than revenue, so the company is becoming even more profitable.
This company has a lot of growth potential. This year alone, analysts expect a growth of 15%. Most of this growth will come from its recent acquisition of refining assets from BP. The company spent $2.4 billion on this purchase and an additional $2 billion upgrading another refinery in the hope of increasing production.
Marathon has beaten or met expectations for the last five quarters. It has already made moves to increase production. So, the next year and coming years should bring higher revenue and profits for investors.
A recent growth in production
Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) is an exploration and production company that also has midstream and marketing operations. It drills for both oil and natural gas in the United States.
It posted earnings for the first quarter on May 1. Earnings per share were $0.30, beating analyst expectations by 20% and increasing 67% from the same time last year. Total revenue grew 41%, as well. The biggest catalyst for this growth was the higher output from its production operations.
The company has been selling off non-core assets in an effort to focus on its most profitable oil and gas assets. This plan is an important one for investors. This shows investors that the company is making decisions to increase shareholder value. This year the company plans on selling off between $4 and $7 billion worth of assets. It already has $2 billion in the works.
This injection of capital can help spur investments into operating assets. Investors should watch for how it spends this capital. Daily oil production has already grown 6% this year. Look for more growth this year.
The bottom line
This first quarter has seen excellent profit growth for these three companies. The real question investors want answered is will this continue? The rest of this year should still bring strong growth as these three companies are focusing on their core operations.
Energy investors would be hard-pressed to find another company trading at a deeper discount than Chesapeake Energy. Its share price depreciated after negative news surfaced concerning the company's management and spiraling debt picture. While the debt issues still persist, giant steps have been taken to help mitigate the problems.

Urban health index
In 2011, WHO Kobe Centre began exploring the feasibility and utility of constructing an Urban Health Index for assessments of intra-urban inequalities in health determinants and outcomes, as well as for inter-city comparisons. Numerous health indicators, either singularly or in a set, are used to measure the health status of urban populations. However, available urban health metrics focus primarily on large area rankings. Less has been done to develop an index that provides information about level of health and health disparities for small areas within cities.
In order to pursue this work, a research collaboration was established between the School of Public Health, Georgia State University (Atlanta, USA) and the WHO Kobe Centre. This has resulted in the development of a flexible Urban Health Index for measuring small-area disparities. A description of the method along with some example applications are now published in the Journal of Urban Health (see below for information on how to access the article).
Adopting a method used by the Human Development Index, we standardized indicators for small area units on a (0, 1) interval and combined them using their geometric mean to form an Urban Health Index. Disparities were assessed using the ratio of the highest to lowest decile and measurement of the slope of the eight middle deciles (middle 80 %) of the data. We examined the sensitivity of the measure to weighting, to changes in the method, to correlation among indicators, and to substitution of indicators.
The research collaborative has since grown to include urban health researchers from the University of Manchester (UK), the Universidade Federal da Bahia (Brazil), and Fudan University (China), and is welcoming more partners. So far, the Urban Health Index has been successfully computed for Atlanta, USA, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Shanghai, China, and Tokyo, Japan. The results suggest that a flexible tool, whose method rather than content is standardized, may be of use for local evaluation, for decision making, and for area comparison.
The WHO Kobe Centre and its partners are developing a Handbook on the Urban Health Index as well as a stand-alone calculation tool (in MS Excel) in order to facilitate the use of the Index. These will eventually be available on this website. Furthermore, the Urban Health Index method will be applied to more cities around the world, with a focus on low and middle income countries, and the results will be shared through this website and other publications.

Rethink the human-centered airline experience. *A TEDActive Travel Project*
The TEDActive Travel Project will examine customer experience onboard the plane and beyond the terminal. We'll look at the challenges and opportunities, for both individual travelers and the airline industry, and produce a set of recommendations to enhance air travel.
At TEDActive2011 in Palm Springs, an amazing group of individuals came together and came up with some easy ways that anyone can change their airline experience. After a quick 36 hour period of time, they recommended that we make an effort to see travel as a social experience, to be an active part of the journey and not just a passenger going to a destination.
Please share your own ideas for a better air travel experience below or start a new conversation and tag them with TEDActiveFLY so we can join in!

Apr 29 2011: Here's a fun anecdote ... a couple of years ago, Air France had a really cheesy jingle with a woman singer singing "Within the miles, away from the sea" like a mantra but with a strong French accent so it sounded like :
"Weeseen ze miyuls, away frrrrom ze seeeee". Hysterical.
Unfortunately it was played everywhere, on the phone systems, in the airport lounges and on the planes before taking off. On a flight with a friend, I didn't even realize it, but I started singing the song with a (fake) French accent, she started singing too, a couple of people chuckled and then joined in ... everyone ended up laughing and the pilot and the crew were practically on the floor they were laughing so hard. That was a fun flight.

Well that explains a lot. Whether moms have been swallowing handfuls of "little helpers" or getting crazy in the comments section of parenting sites, it all comes down to the fact that we've been getting brow-beaten over our parenting methods since the first advice book came off the press.
What all of the parenting guides have in common -- from 1945's hyper-disciplined approach of Frederick Truby King to Penelope Leach and back again to the camp that favors routine -- is that they are all designed to make moms feel bad. Or as the researcher explained, the tone of all of these books, regardless of philosophy, is authoritative. Not only authoritative, but the implication is that if moms do not follow the directions between the pages perfectly, there will be extreme consequences.
How is it that something designed to help new moms has actually been hurting us?
I picked up What to Expect When You're Expecting as well as Dr. Sears' family of books when I was up the duff, and there were pros and cons of both sets of books. Sometimes I walked away feeling like a total failure for only being able to eat at KFC so I wouldn't hurl, and therefore not following the perfect pregnancy diet. Other times I found relief in the fact that pregnancy-related panic attacks were a "thing" rather than me just being straight-up crazy.
There is no shortage of anxiety in any circle of moms. Every week I second-guess my child-rearing techniques. It gets to the point that when someone does offer advice, I just assume it's hostile and I have to fire back by dong the exact opposite. Healthy? Hardly.
And as much as I say (and try to do) the whole "instinctive parenting" thing, I can't always make it work. By which I mean going with my gut instead of following a rule book. Because sometimes a simple trick from a parenting book can mean the difference between a peaceful resolution over naptime versus a full-on screaming fit.
So again, what are moms to do? Ignore the books? Not educate ourselves at the risk of being made to feel bad? Or maybe it's not really every mom's responsibility here, just the authors who are doing the telling. Lighten up, parenting writers! We're all doing okay. Well, except for that bong-smoking baby mama.
Do you feel bad after reading parenting books?
Image via aroid/Flickr
No. The parenting books are nothing compared to the women who are desperate to feel like great mothers so they attack anyone who does something they don't agree with.
I read books (I'm due in May) about things I should be doing now, and things I will need to do when Baby gets here, but I try to take them with a grain of salt, and know that if I don't do something exactly the way they say, my baby will not spontaneously combust. Like the breastfeeding book I got was very informative, but made it sound like if I ended up getting an epidural, my baby would never be able to breastfeed right away because the meds have an effect on the baby, and that every mom should breastfeed immediately after birth or the world may end. Well, if I do get medication, I will still try, and I know that my baby will eat when he is ready.
And then there are some women that read TOO much crap i.e. the chick on mommyish regretting brushing her kid's teeth with organic, non-flouride toothpaste and the kid ending up with 5 cavities - she ignored all MEDICAL advice from her dentist and chose stupid natural parenting books instead. Just listen to your doctors and your instincts.
The best parenting advice I ever got was from my mom: "Your kids are individuals - parent them accordingly." So when I read a parenting book or article, I always keep in perspective that the person writing it, even if they're an "expert", has never spent one second in the presence of my child and doesn't know my child like I do. There is no be-all-end-all answer to be found in the pages of a book written by someone who has never met me or my kid. Maybe I'll find something that helps us with a situation or a behavior, but then, I was looking for it in the first place!
There's a relative somewhere on my mother-in-law's side of the family who is a child psychiatrist, and who I have never met. Never even laid eyes on. When another relative mentioned that we had our kiddo on a schedule, Dr. Psychiatrist said "Ooooooh, we tell parents not to do that" and of course it got repeated to my mother-in-law who repeated it to me. I told her "Has that person ever met me or my son? Nope. And my kid is healthy and thriving and every single time we see the pediatrician she tells me I'm doing something right because my son is so happy. So forgive me if I don't put a lot of stock in the opinion of a person who I've never even met." :-P

I wasn't sure what to expect because I've never been to Sonoma and found most other properties we looked at were much more expensive. We were pleasantly surprised by how lovely this B&B was and how friendly all the staff was. It's not the perfect location as you'll need to drive most anywhere you'd want to go, but it was worth it to be assured we had such a comfortable, clean and hospitable place to come back to in the evenings. The main town square is just a quick 5 minute drive, so it's not bad at all. It was very quiet and our room was quite large. I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone.

Great service and breakfast!

Cinnamon Creek B&B was delightful. The staff were very helpful with dining, taxi and wine tasting tips. It is a pleasant 20 minute walk into Sonoma Square wearing comfortable shoes. The rooms are well set up and bathroom very clean. Our bed was a little spongy but the linen was crisp and well displayed. We met friendly travelers over a tasty breakfast and enjoyed our stay very much.Best to hire a care to get to the Valley as public transport is infrequent and taxis add to the weekend costs. Thanks ladies for a great weekend.

The people at the visitor center told us that it was not, "posh". We were expecting a hole in the wall and was pleasntly surprised! The staff was great, the rooms were clean, quaint and the breakfast was amazing! Would stay there again if in the area.

clean and lovely room, good service, wonderful jacuzzi in bathroom, but breakfast sub par and not close to town square as alluded to in description.

What a lovely B&B! We stayed for one night and enjoyed it very much. The innkeepers are super friendly and helpful, the rooms are cute and clean, and the breakfast was very good. Great location for both the downtown square restaurants and the Sonoma wineries. If you stay in the area, you must eat dinner at La Saletta restaurant. It was delicious!

Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn was exactly what we hoped for during our stay in Sonoma. The rooms are charming, the beds are comfortable, and the staff is excellent and inviting. The exterior photo here doesn't really do the inn justice as the interior is beautifully decorated with gleaming wood floors, beautiful older furniture and tasteful appointments. We loved the big brass bed in our room and the privacy afforded to guests with the layout of the inn. This is an in-town inn so there is some traffic noise to contend with, but all-in-all this was a lovely spot to stay and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay while in Sonoma for a family event. Staff were very efficient and friendly, breakfast was great and a very comfortable bed. What more could you ask for.
2.4 on June 05, 2014
Room was small. The Inn is situated a considerable walk from downtown Sonama. On arrival we were told breakfast would be between 8.30 & 9.30am. What that meant was that it would be served anytime between those times and was a fixed meal - no choices apart from drinks. Staff tried hard, but did not really meet our expectations

The first time I noticed Amber Heard was her brief role as 406 in the movie Zombieland where she plays Jesse Eisenberg's super hot neighbor who comes knocking on his door. She then proceeds to turn into a zombie but still manages to look hot somehow. According to the internet she also has a nude scene in the movie The Informers. You might have seen her in a few other things including Pineapple Express as Seth Rogan's high school girlfriend. She has since come out as an open lesbian and proceeded to break every dude in the universe's heart. Check out some more hot sexy photos of Amber Heard below.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
William Natcher is the best school, they are very helpful and pleasant, my daughter loves this school
I am a student from natcher elementry.Natcher is the best school i've ever went to my teatcher is awsome the best teatcher ever had.I love her.She is good and nice.I think that this school has to be rated five star.I am in third grade and you vote this school.
My son has been a Natcher student for 1 1/2 years and unfortunately it's time to move again so I'm on Great Schools looking for reviews for our new community. This prompted me to make sure that a parent moving to Bowling Green knew what a gem they'd find at Natcher. My son has mild autism and I could not be more pleased with the way they approach his unique needs while including him fully in the classroom. We have had all the support we could possibly want from the administration and teachers. In the short time we've been there, everyone has made an effort to get to know him. Staff and teachers who don't work directly with him still know his name and greet him warmly when they see him. Best of all, they have created an environment where children are taught to value all people no matter their abilities. I will miss it very much.
My granddaughter loves school and is doing great.
Good academics; award winning extra programs and the Library & Media are the best in the county. Our library sponsors the most author visits each year.
Natcher is one of the best elementary schools by far. The teachers are so loving and encouraging to the children. The Jumpin' Jaguar program at Natcher is a big turn on and makes Natcher unique. When the kids get in middle school and highschool, you can distinguish the Natcher children from the others, there better behaved and have that respect that alot of children lack. I've had kids at Natcher now for 10 years and haven't seen one bad quality.I love it : )
Parental involvement is best I've seen in this county. I visit several schools dealing with Parks and Recreation functions. Natcher is always welcoming and very accomodating. There are always parent volunteers working. Wonderful to see! I have also noticed the many safety precautions that they take. The principal also seems to have a good handle on what goes on at the school and what is important or petty..
Natcher is a superb school with dedicated teachers and staff. The environment is superb and ideal for learning. Many teachers spend hours before and after school to make the best lessons and environment for students.
My child attended Natcher for all 7 years and has recently been selected to test with Duke.It is a wonderful school and I would highly recommend it to any parent.I am not sure why there have been negative comments cause I can assure you that there are loving and caring parents as well as staff there.The children thrive after being there.
This is my 11th year as a part of the Natcher Team. While no school is perfect, since there are no perfect people, I see talented and dedicated teachers spending hours before/after school and weekends, not to mention their own money, to help make the education of children the best quality possible. This dedication can also be said of the paraprofessionals and other staff that help to nuture and educate the children at Natcher. We also have wonderful supportive parents and community leaders that enhance the education of the children. The smiles, hugs, and the many 'I love you' that I witness day after day as well as the fine academic record speak for themselves. Yes, there are difficulties, but isn't anything that is so valuable as education worth working for? No one, that I know, expects any less than the best of themselves and the best of their students.
My child just enrolled in this school this year. So far what I am seeing is a bunch of mediocre teachers using a rigid cookie cutter curriculum with very little flexibility for children with different learning styles. I'm not even slightly impressed. Hopefully, they will change my mind. Then I will replace this review appropriately. I won't make their overall rating a 1 since there are no guns or gangs in the school and the school is clean and looks nice.
Staff needs to spend more time on instruction & less time on dress codes. I find that some teachers are not providing the academic structure that is needed for our kids to truly advance, yet they have plenty of time for idle gossip & unwarranted criticism. Meanwhile my child is treading water academically at best.
Public school with private school results. I have been blown away by the dedication the teachers and staff give to the students. No child left behind or stiffled. Mind, Body, & Soul all being educated & nutured.

Northern Dreams Crochet Pullover
I'm about to start on my first serious crochet garment. I stumbled upon the Northern Dreams Pullover during a long Pinterest session trawling for new crochet ideas. In two shakes, I had the Best of Interweave Crochet book on order from our warehouse to replace our missing office copy and I headed straight for the Wool of the Andes Sport yarn bins. I had a few color palettes in mind that I wanted to see in person before I settled on one.

Good morning, Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! If you read my blog on regular basis, I am sure you know what a huge Diane von Furstenberg fan I am, which is why I am absolutely ecstatic to partner with DVF yet again. This time around, I got a chance to style my all-time favorite - the wrap dress. One of the reasons why I love this particular silhouette so much is because of how incredibly flattering it is. The combination of the plunging v-neck and defined waist, in my opinion, helps to accentuate the smallest part of your body and to create an incredibly feminine silhouette.
Though the wrap dress comes in a variety of styles and shapes, and choosing a favorite was not an easy task, I just couldn't resist adding this beautiful jewel wrap dress to my ever-expending wrap-dress collection. From the moment I saw it, I fell in love with the mixed prints, the color and of course the fuller pleated skirt! You know how I feel about full-skirted dresses:)

Day 4 of 366
Today started out pretty good since I finally got some sleep last night. Even though it wasn't long enough, it was sufficient to make me feel a little bit refreshed and energized to start the day.
In school we did the usual things: listened to the discussion, wrote notes, did some activities, etc. (you all know the drill haha!) Nothing really special happened that day… not until I found out my grade for AP Psychology. 102.1!!!!! holy mother of cows I was sooo freaking happy and proud of myself. That was my first time to ever get an average like that high :D
And then I came home with a pounding headache (the one that I've been having for a couple of weeks now ): ) I can't wait to go back to the doctors on the 23rd so I can get this pain out of my system and finally be able to live and feel like I used to.
Page 4 of 366 = done (:
