Brookfield Asset Management is no longer part of General Growth Properties' dividend reinvestment program, and can't own more than 45% of the mall owner as part of an investment agreement, undercutting one of William Ackman's main contentions in his push to have GGP suspend its share repurchase and dividend reinvestment plans.

William Ackman's high profile purchase of $2 billion of Procter & Gamble stock continues a trend of activist investors taking aim at larger companies.
According to FactSet SharkWatch, 31 companies with market caps over $1 billion have been targeted by activists seeking financial changes or changes to company boards. That comprises 24% of the 129 companies targeted so far this year. The data doesn't include Procter & Gamble, because it's still unclear what Ackman has planned for P&G.

Chesapeake Energy's decision to capitulate to activist investor demands could cause the company to slow a planned shift in its drilling strategy in order to close a large funding gap and pay down debt, according to investors familiar with the situation.
The company has been selling assets to cut some of its $13 billion in debt and close the estimated $6 billion gap, but may now take a more measure stance on future sales and cut capital spending plans instead after four new board members are added.
If Yahoo's biggest shareholder has its way, CFO Tim Morse could be heading back to the top job at the struggling Internet company after new CEO Scott Thompson became embroiled in a resume scandal last week.
Daniel Loeb's Third Point hedge fund sent a letter to the company's board of directors on Wednesday, suggesting the company replace current CEO Scott Thompson with Morse or the head of the company's global media business, Ross Levinsohn, on an interim basis.

Activist investors pushing for companies to split up or get rid of assets are so far enjoying a successful 2012. Out of the seven campaigns launched this year, three of the targets—Marathon Petroleum, Hartford Financial and Barnes & Noble —have said they either will sell off units or consider options to boost shareholder value.

Some shareholders who tried to get proxy access proposals onto corporate ballots this year are going back to the drawing board after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said it would let half a dozen companies exclude the proposals from their proxies this year.
After the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington D.C. rejected proposed rules by the SEC that would have allowed big shareholders at all companies to nominate corporate directors last year, investors were allowed to begin filing their own proposals for proxy access at individual companies. So far this proxy season, companies have received around 20 proposals from institutional and individual investors shareholders, exceeding initial expectations of governance advocates that just a handful would be filed this year.
But in "no action" letters last week, the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance said Textron, Bank of America, andGoldman Sachs could exclude shareholder proposals for proxy access because the shareholders made more than one proposal in their requests. The staff also said Chiquita Brands, Sprint Nextel, and MEMC Electronic Materials could exclude the shareholder proposals because they were not specific enough about shareholder eligibility requirements.

St. Joe Company hired a chief financial officer with significant turnaround experience to help the Florida real estate developer trim expenses further, as it tries to rehabilitate itself with a new management team.
Thomas Hoyer, the former CFO of packaged diet food company eDiets, will round out a fresh management team when he takes up his position at St. Joe next week. Several executives, including CEO Britt Greene and CFO William McCalmont, departed last year amid an SEC investigation into the company's accounting for real estate. The company promoted Park Brady, its former chief operating officer, to CEO last October.

Carl Icahn has sweetened his hostile bid for CVR Energy with an innovative deal structure that could shield him against claims that he's taking advantage of the refinery company's shareholders. Icahn is offering CVR's existing shareholders $30 a share, plus a "contingent cash payment agreement," which gives shareholders the right to any amount over $30 a share if he flips CVR to another buyer within nine months.

The New York Stock Exchange is making it harder for management of companies with large numbers of individual shareholders to change corporate governance policy by restricting the influence of brokers to vote shares without explicit directions from their customers.
The change to Rule 452, which is effective immediately, limits brokers' ability to cast proxy votes on uninstructed shares to relatively minor issues.

Shareholders have stepped up their efforts this year to push for more disclosures on corporate political activities, having already submitted 100 proxy proposals on the matter, the most ever, according to figures from Institutional Shareholder Services this week.
Encouraged by strong shareholder support last year and mobilized by the 2012 elections, shareholders are pushing companies to disclose more on political donations, lobbying activities, and how much they give to industry associations that lobby on their behalf. Some proposals call for a shareholder say-on-political spending vote, similar to the say-on-pay advisory vote, or ask companies to not make any contributions at all.

Chez Panisse contingent head to Cuba, public welcome
In the last year, Chez Panisse chefs, staff, and alum have embarked on gourmet global diplomacy trips to Japan (in an informal expedition under the auspices of a group known as OPENrestaurant) and China (in a formal affair the restaurant's owner, Alice Waters, presided over herself.) Now comes word that a contingent from the acclaimed restaurant are headed to Cuba to plant seeds of change on the food and farming front — and learn a thing or two about Cuban cuisine and growing greens from this Carribbean island country.
What's more the trip, scheduled for December 4-12, coincides with the Havana Film Festival, and is open to the public. The delegation includes Chez Panisse downstairs chef Jerome Waag, former Chez Panisse pizzaiolo Charlie Hallowell, Steve Sullivan from Acme Bread (a former Chez Panisse chef), and Cuban-American line cook Danielle Alvarez, who will set foot on Cuban soil for the first time. … Continue reading »

Securities Technology
2007 Industry Ranking | Integration Integral to Innovation | The Securities Technology Leaders List | Top of the Class: SunGard's Winning Ways | OMS, EMS Technologies Rise to Market Challenges |
OMS, EMS Technologies Rise to Market Challenges
October 17, 2007
Order management systems (OMS) and execution management systems (EMS)--two key categories in the Securities Technology Ranking--illustrate how quickly technology can evolve in response to market developments, and how versatile vendors can be in providing innovative solutions. Some of the innovations are blurring the lines of demarcation between the two types of systems.
Several developments have spurred the need for OMS and EMS: The FIX, or financial information exchange, protocol opened the door for electronic trading, electronic communications networks expanded the number of trading venues, and high-speed algorithmic trading necessitated high-capacity systems to place trades and track results.
As dark pools of liquidity have proliferated, electronic execution has become vital to firms seeking to tap all available liquidity. And the best-execution requirements of Regulation National Market System (NMS) in the U.S. and the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) in Europe are compelling firms to not only maintain trade data, but also the prices that were available at the time of the trade.
Some boutique firms still place phone orders with sales traders who work them, but most buy-side firms rely on order management systems, and OMS vendors are adding execution functionality to keep their clients loyal.
Traditional order management systems were built in a different era, 15 years ago, according to Sang Lee, managing partner at Boston-based research firm Aite Group. "They weren't built for today's market reality in terms of speed and the number of executions that traders need to do," says Lee. "The EMS vendors rose to meet those challenges."
Integrated Systems
John Lynch, senior product manager at Burlington, Mass.-based OMS provider Charles River Development, says clients can manage separate order management and execution management systems if they have to, "but we are hearing that they struggle with the integration and they would prefer to consolidate the functionality on one screen." Charles River has been upgrading its OMS to include execution.
Keith Jamaitis, director of OMS product management and client services at Citigroup subsidiary Lava Trading in New York, agrees that a fully integrated system from a single provider makes life easier, especially with the audit trail needs of Reg NMS. "It is advantageous to have a matched set of components all from the same source when it comes to surveillance of your trade-through requirements," says Jamaitis. "You have to match orders that have been broken up by smart routers with data to prove or disprove trade-through status. With dissimilar services it will be difficult for firms to show their trading details in a meaningful way," he says.
Says Joseph Wald, CEO of agency brokerage and trading software developer EdgeTrade: "They are built very differently--OMS is designed for storage and maintenance and is usually installed in an office, while EMS is designed for speed and flexibility and is delivered" on an application service provider basis. "I think clients will want the best of breed," he adds.
New York-based EdgeTrade has "built the network infrastructure and the quant tools you need to get to every share possible, so we can help clients source liquidity," says Wald. "We have the system and methodologies to make sure that they are getting the best execution."

I think AIMS2013 do has some advantages compared with Mapguide 6.5 old version. But the speed to render a map is our concern, especially we have heavy data.
In our situation, each of a map includes minimum 120 layers, total we have 1800 maps( I use 8 links to point to these layout/map resources for internal and external users dynamically), even it just takes 8 hours for caching one map, it still takes 2 years to cache all the data. So I prefer no cache. Then usually it takes half minute to zoom in/out. Additional factor is we have to update some of spatial data once a month, caching is not our first option. Any suggestions for this situation? Thank you.
Here's a general checklist:
The new profiler in AIMS2013 should tell you what Layers/Feature Sources need to be investigated
- Jackie
Thanks all above suggestion comments.
Jackie, most of our data is shapfiles stored in PostgreSQL/PostGIS (a few raster data). Because we already decide use AIMS, we have to improve the rendering speed. So far, we can do the following things to improve a little bit:
Any other suggestions?
Notice how your Google Maps, Bing and OpenStreetMap load in square by square?
That's because they're tiled maps, pre-baked and ready to be served through a series of load-distributed servers. So if someone asks for "Google Maps speed", they are asking for tiled maps (that AIMS can do) whether they are aware of it or not.
The perceived performance of MG 6.5 is because all the hard work is off-loaded to that filthy, IE-only, black box, ActiveX viewer control. It's 2013, such black box, Microsoft-only technology does not belong here.
AIMS is not MG 6.5. Don't look at AIMS with a MG 6.5 mindset.
- Jackie
Okay, since you're housing most of your spatial data within a RDBMS, then the full suite of DBMS optimizations are available to you, that AIMS doesn't and won't need to be concerned about.
This is venturing into DBA territory, but a general list would be.
* Turn on trace logging in the PostgreSQL FDO provider (link) and see what gnarly SQL the FDO provider is sending off to postgres.
* Use EXPLAIN / query execution plans provided by postgres/pgadmin to give you a better idea how such SQL queries can be improved through proper indexing.
* Indexing specific columns to improve queries that have filters.
If this indexing stuff is a bit over your head, there's a site that explains it better than I can:
- Jackie
Using Base Layer Group, add multiple connection to RDBMS for each of heavy data group also can improve the rendering speed dramatically. Thx for Jackie solution.
We've been working with AIMS 2013 for about a year and have been live for just over two months so I figured it's time to share some things we've learned for other's benefit. I work with swimming123 so I figure I should elaborate on his point above about postgres.
I assume it is the nature of the FDO provider but each data connection you make to a PostgreSQL database acts as one connection to the database. So if you have only built one data connection everything is being piped through one connection which will act as a significant bottleneck. By giving your heavier data its own data connection (even though its just a duplicate resource) you will allow it to be queried simultaneously to your other resources. Now, there are limitations to the number of connections that make sense to a postgres database (We are moving the DB to a second server and setting up connection pooling over the next few weeks), but you are doing yourself a tremendous disservice by using one.

A 19-year-old Yuma High School student was arrested and booked into jail for allegedly assaulting a school resource officer Friday.
Omar McQueen, who the resource officer was investigating for a drug offense, was taken into custody about 10 a.m. Friday, according to a Yuma Police Department spokesman.
The spokesman said McQueen was taken to the officer's office and was told he was under arrest. Police said he attacked the resource officer and had to be subdued by other officers using an electronic device to restrain him.
McQueen was booked into the Yuma County Detention Center on one count of aggravated assault on a police officer and in the original case that was being investigated, possession of marijuana for sale in a drug-free school zone, the spokesman said.

Bill Belichick, Bert Breer Go Back And Forth Regarding Health Of Rob Gronkowski, Danny Amendola

Sports Fan Insider
BOSTON (CBS) — The Patriots have been plenty entertaining this season on the field, but in the days between games, the sideshow of Bill Belichick vs. Bert Breer has helped fill the time rather well.
The Patriots' head coach was sure to fire a few verbal jabs at Breer at the end of August when the NFL Network reporter asked about the status of Rob Gronkowski, and their exchanges since then have been noticeably cold.
That trend continued on Monday, the day after the Patriots' 23-3 win over the Buccaneers, when Breer asked for some information about Gronkowski and Danny Amendola, specifically if either had a chance to play in the game against the Bucs.
The exchange went as follows:
Breer: How close was Gronk to playing yesterday?
Belichick: I don't know. He was inactive.
Breer: Did he have a shot to play?
Belichick: He was inactive.
Breer: I mean going into the day, was there a chance that he would play or did you guys know –
Belichick: He was inactive for the game.
Breer: How about Danny?
Belichick: He was inactive, too.
Breer: So I know that they were inactive –
Belichick: Well they were inactive, so they didn't play.
Breer: I think you'd have an idea of how close they were, right?
Belichick: Well they weren't able to play. What do you want some big percentage points?
Breer: Well, I mean, you'd know –
Belichick: They couldn't play, so–
Breer: Going into the day, did you know they wouldn't play?
Belichick: They were inactive.
AB: That's a yes or no question.
Belichick: They were inactive. It's as simple as that.
98.5 The Sports Hub's Toucher & Rich and Gresh & Zo listened to the audio and gave their thoughts on the way Belichick handles questions from the press.

Saw this pretty brunette's pic, and she's so gorgeous and luscious too! She strikes a pose, teasing on her guy, showing off her big butt and shook them off for more seduction. A big turn on definitely! She then fucked on a stiff cock and got so wild with it. She sucked it like she hadn't eaten for days, munching it while drooling for more. She plugged it in her pussyhole and she just went extreme.
Awesome chick, and this site delivers the best! More hot babes like her, and you'll meet them upon clicking on here!

Hello, heirloom tomato mojitonico. Aren't you a looker. Even I, who generally does not care for raw tomatoes, will take two of you on a front porch and another hot Saturday, please. Who's with me?
1/2 lime, cut into sections
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup heirloom tomatoes, roughly chopped
1/4 cup fresh herbs (like basil, tarragon, thyme, chives or mint) loosely packed and not chopped
1 1/2 ounces gin
2 ounces tonic water, or to taste.
Rim a 16-ounce glass by moistening the edge with a lime wedge, then dipping the glass into a small plate filled with equal parts salt and pepper. Into the same glass add the tomatoes, herbs and lime sections, then muddle, gently, until the mixture is equal parts juice and solids. Add ice, stir, then add the gin, and stir again. Top with the tonic water.

These events are triggered by various factors such as deflations and hyperinflations, oil crises, stock market collapses, even wars and national security threats.

Love in the Time of Malware
February 09, 2009
Virus creation was necessarily fixated to notoriety. Writers might have also seen it as a medium through which they could express their thoughts to the public.

In 2009 and in years to come, new threats will evolve parallel to the technological developments in the Web.

Posted 21 December 2006 - 21:22
DK=Directional Keys (Up, Down, Left, Right Arrows)
Attacking Keys (when you attack):
Press Q+DK to activate player runs.
Press W+DK for through ball.
Hold E+DK to run.
Use A+DK for lob pass/cross (with power meter). Also used to throw in the ball from the outside position.
Press S+DK to pass.
Use D+DK to shoot (with power meter) or to clear the ball if you are in your own half. Hold D, for head/volley kick, before the player receives the incoming ball.
Press Z+DK for dribbling.
Press C to control the pace or to cancel your last move.
Use Shift+DK for dribbling/first touch.
Defending Keys:
Hold Q to call in second defender and for pressing.
Hold E+DK to run.
Press A (+DK optional) for sliding tackle.
Press S to control another player.
Press D (+DK optional) for conservative tackle/clear the ball.
Hold C to slow down your player (pace control).
Goalkeeper Keys:
When the goalie holds the ball, press S to pass the ball with the hand to a close player. Press W to put the ball down. Press A or D to kick the ball.
Hold W to make the Goalie come out for the ball (Goalkeeper charge).
Press D to clear the ball.
Lay-off Shot Keys:
Press E then the DK to change the kick-taker player. Look at the player abilities to select the best kick-taker.
Press A to cross.
Press S for a driven ball.
Press D to shoot the ball (with Power Meter). If you want to add curl to the ball you have to press D then quickly press Shift+DK.
Press C to call in second player.
When you defend a free-kick you can press W to make the wall jump. You can also press D to let a player from the wall run towards the kick-taker before the ball is kicked but after the whistle has blown to restart play.
Corner/Indirect Free-Kick Keys:
Press E then the DK to change the kick-taker player.
Press A to cross the ball inside the box (with Power Meter).
Press S to pass the ball to a close player.
Press D to shoot the ball (with Power Meter). If you want to add curl to the ball you have to press D then quickly press Shift+DK. This is the first time since Fifa 2002 when you can actually try to score with a direct shot from corner, because you can add curl to the ball (anyway, it is still very hard to do this).
Press C to call in second player.
Attacking Tips&Tricks:
When holding Q, press W+DK for lob through ball. You can use this effectively when your receiver is not closely marked or the opponent is positioned behind the receiver. You can also use this instead of crossing with A, but you have to be careful because the goalie may easily collect the ball. Anyway, if you use this type of cross you can score easy goals.
When holding Q, press D+DK for lob shot. This is very useful when you are 1 on 1 with the Goalkeeper, inside the box.
When holding Q, press S+DK then press S again for 1-2 pass. This is most useful when you are trying to lose an opponent.
When you want to pass and there are more players on the same direction you can tap S to pass the ball to the closest team-mate. Press S to pass to the second closest team-mate or hold S to pass the ball to the furthest team-mate.
Tap twice A+DK for low cross. You can use this when there are less opponent players inside the box. To take an early cross hold Q the press A+DK.
When running, hold C and then press S+DK for trick pass. This way you will disguise you intention. You can use this in the same way for through pass (W+DK), lob pass/cross (A+DK) or shot (D+DK).
Before receiving the ball, hold E and press Shift+DK to immediately kick the ball forward and run after it. You can use first-touch control to accelerate the game or get past defenders. First-touch playing is making the game faster. If you can control it don't be afraid to use it.
When holding E, press Shift to accelerate. You can use this when you are in lots of space, with no opponent standing in front of your player, but don't get to close to the goalie because he may collect the ball without having a chance to shoot.
Press Z/Shift+DK for bicycle dribbling. If you are running (holding on E) this could only work with Z. You can use this dribbling effectively if you press Shift+DK in one way (Forward+Left for example) then quickly press Shift+DK to go the other way (Forward+Right).
While holding Z, quickly press Left then Right to dummy move and get past the defender.
Tap Z+Side Keys for lateral dribbling when running (very effective when the opponent stands in front of you). You should try more combinations of DK+Z or Shift to learn more moves (like walking on the ball and so on).
Press D, then immediately press S+DK to fake a shot. This is very effective if used properly (you will make the Goalkeeper and eventually some of the defenders go the wrong way).
The easiest way to get past an opponent is the DK dribbling. Don't forget, when you try this you don't have to run all the time. Try to simulate you are going left (while running slow), then go right and in the same time hold E. You should practice this in order to get it right.
Defending Tips&Tricks:
You must make a lot of midfield pressing to get the ball from the opponents. When the ball is in the midfield you shouldn't slide for the ball. You just have to hold Q and to try to deposes your opponent with a conservative tackle.
When an attacker comes towards you hold C then try to tackle him (press D or A). Holding C will allow you a better control on your moves, but you can't use this if you have to run after the attacker.
When the opponent lobs the ball forward you can press A or S for a head/volley kick or press D to clear the ball. Tap D to try making an interception (to stop the ball on your chest).
If you have no other option to stop the opponent attackers then hold W to charge the goalkeeper. Release the key when you think it's time for him to make a save or just go all the way to make a sliding tackle. Be careful because the attacker may try a lob shot. You can also hold W to make your goalkeeper catch/clear incoming crosses.
Use Q key when you are defending. If your marking team-mates are too far from the opponent players hold Q and they will make pressing. This helps you to act more quickly when an opponent receives the ball. Used careful, this tip could let the opponent attackers stay off-side.
Defending Corner Tips:
When you gave away a corner, it's easy to defend if you know how. Press S until you control the right defender, then you should hold on W (to charge the goalkeeper) and in the same time press D+DK to clear the ball with a defender. You can also try to move your defender to the near post then let him come out to clear the ball by pressing D.
Use E key to move your marker faster.
Tactics Tips:
Use NumPad Keys to change your tactics during the game.
To change the offensive tactics press 2,4,6,8 keys.
To change the defensive tactics hold Q then press 2,4,6,8 keys. I suggest 8 and 6 keys (for pressing and offside trap).
To change your mentality, use 5 key. I suggest the attacking mentality.

I was prescribed this drug to reduce bile and diarrhea after gall bladder removal. It has worked very well in the pill form. I also try to avoid high-fat/rich foods. If I splurge on the food a little, I take an extra pill.

Forget sparkly vampires and hot-bodied shirtless werewolves, Frank Lesser, Emmy Award-winning writer at The Colbert Report, has the fantastically funny 4-1-1 on creatures you really need to be up to speed on: horny half-woman, half-lion hybrids, masturbating minotaurs and so many more. Despite our crippling illiteracy, we found Sad Monsters: Growling on the Outside, Crying on the Inside delightful and fired off some pressing questions to the author:
First of all, who the hell do you think you are to write a book, some kind of big shot?
I'm just a humble guy with some jokes to tell. Unless the book is a huge hit, in which case I'm a humble guy who's going to buy your hometown and turn it into a slurry mine just for asking that question. Probably the former, though.
What is your book called and what is it about?
It's called Sad Monsters: Growling on the Outside, Crying on the Inside. It's a blistering treatise on the inhuman condition. It's full of racist bigfoots, mummies with body image issues, and demons who are too shy to possess people and post on Craigslist's missed connections instead.
Should people read it?
Absolutely. How else will you learn how to pick up a hot sphinx? The most important tip is to bring a wingman—not only will he make you look good, but if things go sour, the sphinx you're chatting up may eat him first.
What's the best part?
The part about how to nail half-women, half-lion hybrids.
The worst part?
Sometimes a minotaur wants to watch.
What is your book going to dress as for Halloween?
A copy of Harry Potter, to increase sales. Or maybe a more traditional costume, like "sexy Bible."
What is the scariest monster walking the earth at the moment?
I have no idea, but in three months it'll have its own reality show.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being "totally awesome!" and 10 being "fucking rad, dude!") how would you rate this interview?
I'd give it a 2... for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2! Totally tubular! Please don't print this answer.
Are you sure?
Fine, print it.
Buy Sad Monsters: Growling on the Outside, Crying on the Inside before it is too late.

Topic - The Lundy Experience!
BALD EAGLE - on 03 Oct 2012
Greetings and salutations to you all
Having recently got back from a 4 day climbing trip to the magical mystery island of Lundy, with my local club, I have finally got around to cobbling together a short HD film. Lundy is located about 12 miles off the coast of North Devon and it is a truly special place frequented by divers, walkers, twitchers, climbers and those in search of a bit of peace and solitude. However it takes a bit of advance planning + commitment and most visitors get to the Puffin Isle via the MS Oldenburg ferry, but I think most folks find this adds to their experience. In fact there are lots of ingredients including the wildlife, natural features, accommodation, the Letterbox Challenge and the legendary Marisco Tavern, to name but a few, which all add up to make "The Lundy Experience" and I've tried to include some of the aforementioned in this film which also includes ascents of the super classic "The Devils Slide" and "Integrity" at Needle Rock sea stack! So has anyone else out there got fond memories and gets a little misty-eyed when reminiscing about their previous visits to this truly special place or even have an epic tale of derring-do to tell? One too many beverages in the Marisco the night before a committing route? A dose of the Lundy Lurgy or an attack of the dreaded Harvest Mite (aka Bracken Bug)? Anyway the entertainment was duly recorded on my GoPro and Panasonic cameras so for anyone interested in viewing a short HD film of this memorable trip then please use the following link:
If you wish to sample the full High Def experience you should be able to change the "Quality" icon to 720p HD in the bottom right hand corner on the You Tube screen! Cheers Dave

Why? Do we have to expect a cough and sore throat at these times? Actually, there is hope for preventing the dreaded plague that sweeps the campus multiple times each semester.
So, as college students, what can we do to keep ourselves healthy? College students do have poor sleeping, eating and exercise habits and often have a difficult time dealing with stress. Healthy changes in these areas will produce a helpful boost to your immune system.
First of all: stress. A little stress is OK, but continuous stress over time weakens our immune system by releasing excess amounts of the hormone cortisol into our body.
Completely eliminating stress is impossible, but keeping stress to a minimum is a realistic goal. Some helpful tips are to learn to say "No" to taking on extra tasks and responsibilities. It is also helpful to talk about your stress to keep it in perspective - maybe you can even laugh about it.
Laughter is proven to increase your infection fighting antibodies, so bring on the Laffy Taffy jokes!
Sleep also influences the immune system and is directly correlated with stress. Sleep is the time when your body reinforces and replenishes the immune system.
Most of us have experienced difficulty falling asleep the night before a big test. Studies show that every night counts: Even one late night can decrease your immune system's ability to keep you healthy.
Another important point is that alcohol disrupts sleep. So, even if you get 12 hours of sleep after a late night at the bar, it is not the same quality of sleep that you would get if you were sober.
A couple tips to improve your sleep are to exercise (but not within two hours of when you plan to go to sleep), avoid napping, and if you cannot sleep at all, get up and do something for a few minutes and try again.
Next, diet and exercise play an important role in a strong immune system. College students make many excuses for not exercising or eating right, but there is proof that a little extra effort goes a long way.
First of all, fruits and vegetables contain valuable phyto-nutrients. Phyto-nutrients enhance the immune system and repair damaged cells. I guess that's why they say, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."
Also, meat and protein have been shown to help fight infection.
Exercise is something we all know is good for our cardiovascular health, but did you know it was good for your immune system as well?
Regular exercise can lead to great benefits in the immune system. It produces a temporary increase in your body's ability to attack bacteria and viruses. But be careful not to over do it, especially if you are sick.
In addition, exercise also helps to lift your mood and to decrease stress. These areas of wellness are interconnected.
Last, the most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick is to wash your hands, according to the Center for Disease Control.
Think about all the people that have touched that computer keyboard or door handle before you. By regularly washing your hands you can prevent the spread of germs causing colds, flu, hepatitis A, meningitis and infectious diarrhea. Yuck! Remember to scrub for at least 15 seconds. So keep in mind that a little prevention done today will prevent you from the stress of getting sick in the future.

Shirley Interviewed by Dennis Hughes, Publisher
Share Guide publisher Dennis Hughes interviews Shirley about her book The Camino. Excerpt:
Shirley MacLaine's latest book, The Camino, is about a famous pilgrimage that has been taken by people for centuries called the Santiago de Compostela Camino across northern Spain. It is done with the intent to find one's deepest spiritual meaning and resolutions regarding conflicts in Self. For Shirley, the Camino is an intense spiritual and physical challenge. A woman in her sixth decade completing such a grueling trip on foot in 30 days at 20 miles per day is nothing short of remarkable. But even more astounding is the route she takes spirituallyback thousands of years, through past lives to the very origin of the universe.

Tietjens shows his hand
All Blacks Sevens coach Gordon Tietjens has confirmed his trial squad ahead of the Rugby World Cup Sevens 2013 in Moscow in late June.
The squad includes 14 players who took part in the IRB Sevens World Series. Ben Lam was not considered because of injury.
"We've called on a core group of players who excelled during the recent series as well as others who have played in previous seasons," explained Tietjens.
"We have also been able to include three players from Investec Super Rugby wider training groups, two of whom have played well for the All Blacks Sevens before.
"Competition for the final 12 places will be tough and it won't be an easy decision. The World Cup only comes around once every four years so it's one tournament every sevens player really wants to play in. We haven't won since 2001 so we certainly have our sights on doing well in Moscow.
"It's also a really important step in our journey to Rio in 2016 so we will be working hard to make sure our preparation is right and that our players have the physical and mental toughness to do well in a pinnacle event."
New Zealand Sevens trial squad:
Pita Ahki (North Harbour), Toby Arnold (Bay of Plenty), Kurt Baker (Taranaki), Tomasi Cama (Manawatu), Scott Curry (Manawatu), Sam Dickson (Canterbury), DJ Forbes (Counties Manukau), Bryce Heem (Tasman), Gillies Kaka (Hawke's Bay), Rocky Khan (Auckland), Fritz Lee (Counties Manukau), Tim Mikkelson (Waikato), Waisake Naholo (Taranaki), Patrick Osborne (Canterbury), Lote Raikabula (Wellington), David Raikuna (North Harbour), Trinity Spooner-Neera (Hawke's Bay), Sherwin Stowers (Counties Manukau), Belgium Tuatagaloa (Canterbury)

August 6, 2012 — NASA's newest Mars rover Curiosity survived its journey from Earth to Mars.
Was there ever life on Mars?
NASA's Rover Curiosity is one step closer to finding out.
The $2.5 billion rover travelled hundreds of millions of kilometres over eight and a half months before landing on Mars early Monday.
The journey to the red planet concluded with a high-drama landing process dubbed "seven minutes of terror."
Mission control at NASA's jet propulsion laboratory burst into rousing cheers as the rover touched down.
Its mission is to seek out the age-old question about whether life ever existed on Mars.
Curiosity's first stop was the Gale crater, which some experts say may have once contained a lake.
The rover is expected to examine layers of sediment.
Scientists say each layer represents an era of the planet's history.
Curiosity is supposed to keep working on Mars for the next two years.

There is a history behind each style and each artist. Their control of their work and passion gives me the strength to improve. Each artist is like a god that can create their own universe. I want to attain skills to create a universe where my characters can live; so they may act in my place, to speak my mind and thoughts to those whom I have never spoken to. In return, I want to give life to art; so that it can bring more understanding between humans and their emotions, draw people closer to one another, and perhaps bring more happiness to the world. To me, achieving all that is when someone looks at my work and reacts the way I want them to. Art is a bridge that brings people into my world and sees my universe, and a little closer to me.
