The Detroit Red Wings look to be getting an emotional boost heading into Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final on Saturday.
Hart Trophy candidate Pavel Datsyuk, who has missed seven straight games this post-season, is set to return to the Wings' lineup Saturday, barring a setback.
"He'll play," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said on Friday.
While Detroit has yet to reveal the extent of the injury, describing it simply as a 'lower-body' injury; speculation is that Datsyuk suffered a fractured bone in his foot during Game 2 of the Wings' Western Conference finals series against the Blackhawks.
The prospects of a return to the lineup by the Russian superstar looked good for Game 4 on Thursday as he took the Wings' optional skate in the morning with the team's "Black Aces." The Russian sniper then also took the pre-game skate before deciding that he was unable to go. His absence was felt as the Wings dropped a 4-2 decision to the Penguins which allowed Pittsburgh to even the series at two games apiece.
"Well, you know, first thing is prior to yesterday's game, we were hoping Pav was going to be in, but we weren't planning," Mike Babcock stated. "Now we're hoping Pav's going to be in and we're planning that he's going to be in."
Being able to draw Datsyuk back into the lineup would greatly aid the Wings in attempting to halt the momentum that Pittsburgh has been able to build in the past two games. While slick skating superstar is known primarily as an offensive threat, he is also one of the best two-way forwards in the league having captured the Frank J. Selke trophy last year as the NHL's top defensive forward. He is nominated for the award once again this year.
While Detroit has been able to limit Sidney Crosby to three points in the series thanks to a blanketing checking effort by Henrik Zetterberg and Nicklas Lidstrom, the addition of Datsyuk could give the Red Wings another body to shadow Malkin who has been the Pens' most dangerous player in the series. Zetterberg would certainly welcome some additional help as he looked fatigued in Game 4, giving up some very uncharacteristic turnovers leading to several Penguins chances.
"Well, we'd like Pav to have the puck for 18 or 20 minutes like he normally does. That's a great concept. When he has the puck, they don't have it," Babcock said. "It's not even playing defense, you just have the puck. You don't have to worry about it. Plus you're faster coming out of your scone. You're faster for the neutral zone."
When asked what rule Datsyuk would play on special teams, Babcock said a lot would depend on what the Russian could bring to the ice.
"[Datsyuk] missed a chunk of time. Is he capable of those situations? Is he playing on the wing or is he playing in the middle? You know, all those things," Babcock told the media. "We'll see. I don't know the answer, and I'm being honest with you, just because until I see them play, I won't know."
To ease some of the burden, Babcock will likely place Datsyuk on the wing where he will not be forced to take faceoffs or assume all of the defensive responsibilities as he would in his traditional centre spot.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The West Virginia Board of Education is announcing its top candidate to serve as the next West Virginia's schools superintendent.
The board late Wednesday said it expects to nominate and elect Michael Martirano to the position on July 1. He will replace Jim Phares, who will retire June 30.
Martirano is serving in his ninth year as superintendent of St. Mary's County Public Schools in Maryland. He's currently is the longest-serving superintendent in Maryland.
Members of the board interviewed three finalists for the position on Tuesday.
They also had named deputy superintendent Charles Heinlein to serve until the position is permanently filled. He will return to his current position as after the schools chief is officially hired.
Martirano will be introduced to the public at a July 9 board meeting.

Phone number located in Hitchin, United Kingdom.
Just checked this out after this number left me another missed call, again! And yes I'm on Tmobile. I refuse to talk to them as they are so absolutly useless when dealing with my queries and complaints. A year on and still resolution, they asked for certain paperwork so I could cancel my contract early but a year on I'm still with them and can't get out of it. So Tmobile, stop calling us to sell! Treat your customers properly! And instead of ringin me sort out my issue! Surely you have received my recent complaint but again ignored it.
T-mobile very pushy and very rude sales person. Very annoying. Type of person who uses your first name every second word he pronounces and when you tell him you're not interested, he keeps asking why, but why, but why can't you tell him why. Sooo annoyed with him! Going to complain to T-mobile. I wonder if that gives any results.
Fed up with several calls a day. It's T-Mobile trying a hard sell. I said I'm already with them and the guy got all shirty when I said I was happy with the package I've got, so much so that I'm thinking of cancelling with them all together. If I wanted to change my contract then I'd ring them.
Have these answers been helpful? Have you had a different experience with this number? Just tell us your problem with the 01462439891. Describe your experience, the frequency of the calls, timing... Everything! Every single detail is important! We have a huge community with problems like yours, they will be willing to help you!

"I was always interested in how cells multiply, how they respond to signals and how this impacts human disease such as cancer. How does a cell know when to divide or rest? How does a cell know whether to turn into an insulin-producing pancreatic cell or, a brain cell that makes neurotransmitters? Many of the decisions that cells make are tightly linked to human disease and so understanding these processes will probably lead to new cures. All of this has been intertwined with my research on stem cells and how they can be used to develop new therapies and diagnostics.
"I can't imagine myself doing anything else. There's so much more to do, and as time goes on the field is gaining more and more momentum. We are now approaching the era of stem cell-based therapeutics—this is going to have a massive impact on the way we treat diseases and injury. Ten years ago it was a pipe dream, but now we're approaching an era where stem cells will be the platform for curing a wide range of human diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and neurological disorders."

Bevare! I vant to suck your blooooooood! Von-Two-Three! Three Victims! Mah-ah-ah-ah!
If you've ever wanted to know how to make you're own realistic custom fit clip on fangs, then I have the PERFECT tutorial for you! this is basically just using nail acrylic and nail polish! It's actually pretty simple to do and this is perfect for a vampire costume or cat costume or anything that requires fangs! What's great about these is you can custom make them to match the color of your teeth and that makes them look awesomely real! They also vacuum seal to your teeth, so they stay in place without using any painful glues. However, if you have trouble getting them to stay in place, polygrip works really well to keep them from popping out.
Before you start, you just need to make a mould of your teeth. But before you freak out and think "Oh no this is just too complicated!" I promise, it's not at all! I do this in the most simplified way possible. In the video below I break down all the steps and show you exactly how to make them step-by-step.
What you'll need to make your mould:
Polymer Non-Hardening Clay
Casting Plaster or Plaster of Paris
What you'll need for your fangs:
Nail Acrylic Powder and Liquid
Disposable Brushes
Nail File or Buffer
Additional Optional items for Finishing Touches:
Electric Nail Filing System
White, Beige (or Yellow), and Clear Nail Polish
Modge Podge for a final coat and seal it all in

Reviews of Susuwe Island Lodge
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Didn't live up to its advertising
Our experience may have been affected by visiting this place when substitute managers who clearly had limited knowledge of Susuwe were in charge, and when the chef was on holiday and, judging by the quality of the food, had left the kitchen maid in charge of the kitchen.
We were surprised to be presented with a drinks bill at the end of our visit, and they should perhaps clarify what they mean by 'all drinks included' as they clearly aren't.
Game drives and guiding were very good, and the arrival at Susuwe by boat is lovely.
Great hospitality at stylish Susuwe
Suzuwe is a small lodge with perfect service from very nice people. Our ranger Beaven taught us a lot and even found wild dogs for us! And he and some colleagues helped us change a flat tyre on our departure.
It was the most beautifully designed lodge on our trip: real African style down to the last detail. Very large chalets - although the beds were a bit short for the taller people in our party.
The only slight disappointment was the food - beautifully served, but not always cooked properly - or perhaps it was prepared too far in advance. The other problem was the tea - which consistently tasted of coffee! (perhaps they should just use separate containers for the hot water)
Leopard spotting at Susuwe
We loved the space and decor of our suite and the wonderful carved artwork on the door and around the lodge - all very luxurious.It was quite blissful to be able to spread ourselves out and unpack everything!
Our guide Beavan was very good on all aspects of natural history and also the history of the area and we had the best leopard sighting we've ever had. In the morning we did a boat trip on the Kwando river and in the afternoon land safaris in the Bwabwata National Park.
We stayed for 2 nights and that was perfect.
The food was of a very high standard and beautifully presented. One small suggestion - a salad option at lunch would be appreciated as two hot meals a day with no exercise was getting to be a little too much for me at this stage of the holiday.
Exellent safaris and relaxing boat trips
Pick up instuctions were vague, as too which side of the bridge to be met. Ryan our driver was told to expect us from Katima direction, but we managed to find him.
A fantastic place, accommodation, hosts and staff.
Fantasy Island
We had no idea there was such a place on this earth as the Suswe Island lodge! The lodge itself iswonderfully laid out and appointed. Our room was spacious and had wonderful details such as a fantastically carved front door and inlaid floors. It had a great deck overlooking the river.
The managers, Tian and Natasha were gracious and hospitable spending the evenings conversing with us around the fire pit. They also invited us to view the hippo that decided to dine on the grass in the staff quarters area.
The food was superb! The chef serves gourmet meals that he announces personally.
Lester, our personal guide, was from the area and was able to explain how the local people used various plants. His knowledge of the plants and animals of the area was enormous and he shared his knowledge freely. He was terrific at locating animals and was very friendly and open. A truly exceptional guide.
Absolutely the highlight of our trip! An incredible experience.
Susuwe Island Lodge review
Our hosts were going out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as they possibly could. The quality of the accomodation, service and food were all excellent, and both, boat rides and game drives, enjoyable. We did not see any predators here - the closest we came to was some drag marks which led us to find a leopard kill. Good sightings of a variety of kingfishers and some beeaters.Read more about the whole safari
Very up market lodge
Everything about Susowe was good. There seemed to be a concept of giving guests privacy from each other rather than bringing them together. The latter is more the norm in Namibia which we prefer but that is down to personal taste.
Clarification is needed regarding "free drinks" as there seemed to be considerable confusion. Our bill included most drinks but when we pointed this out the charges were removed immediately. We heard similar remarks from other guests.
exceeded expectations!!
Genuinely breathtaking accomodation. Although expensive it proved worth it. Having all drives drinks and laundry included was a pleasant surprise.
We felt that the game viewing was almost undersold, Beven was an extremely good guide.
This actually proved a cost effective way to see the habitat along the Kwando, and was a real contrast to other areas in Namibia.
The accomodation was very luxurious without being pretentious, the staff catered to individual need, proved very welcoming and were very genuine with us.
An unforgettable experience.

A special game demands something more than hot dogs at the tailgate, and the National Hockey League game on New Years Day between the Buffalo Sabres and the Pittsburgh Penguins was certainly special.
More than 70,000 people, the largest crowd ever for an NHL game, watched the game in Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Clockwise from bottom: Shrimp, pineapple, onion, yellow pepper skewers; chipotle-pineapple salsa; sharp Cheddar; chopped onion and cilantro; avocado; habanero peppers, just to frighten off Penguins fans; hamburger patties; Bloody Mary.
Before the puck dropped, though, we had a little nosh. It was hickory smoked cheddarburgers and grilled shrimp tacos with avocado and chipotle-pineapple salsa for our crew, backed up with bracing Delish! Bloody Marys and this bottled beverage they call beer. You might have heard of it.
The feed was special, indeed.
There's no better return on your parking-lot cooking investment than smoked burgers. There's only three ingredients: ground beef or chuck (20 percent fat works best); kosher salt; and a few hickory chips to drop on the hot coals.
Simply form the patties, salt copiously, and place on the hot grill. When they're ready to turn, flip them gently and top with sliced cheddar if desired. Drop in a few chips and close the lid (with an open vent). A few minutes later, the burgers will be smoked and the cheese melted. People will thank you.
Shrimp skewers are a standard at my house, but I decided to add grilled pineapple to these for a Mexican touch. I learned that you don't want to marinate shrimp overnight with pineapple, as the enzymes will make the crustaceans softer than I like.
Next time I'll just grill skewers of the pineapple separately and add a few chunks to each taco.
True confessions: the chipotle-pineapple salsa was Goya Tacqueria salsa punched up with minced fresh pineapple,which was a cheat that worked just fine.
1 pound shrimp, peeled
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chile powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/8 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup yellow peppers, cut about 1 inch square
1/2 cup white onions, cut about 1 inch square
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
Put everything but the pineapple in a bowl and mix it up well. Skewer, alternating shrimp and combinations of the peppers and onions. Skewer the shrimp separately. Grill and scatter over grilled tortillas. Top with thin slices of ripe avocado, chipotle-pineapple salsa and chopped onion and cilantro.

(FOXNews.com) -- It could be crowned the great cookie controversy of the century.
Teacher Dan Anderson and his students were investigating the properties of the beloved Double Stuf Oreo cookie when they reached a shocking revelation - the stuffing is not actually double.
"They eventually found out that it looks like the stuffing in the Double Stuf is only about 1.9 times the stuffing," Anderson told Fox News' Shepard Smith on Studio B.
"That's not double," Smith said. "You know what double means? Double 10 is 20. Double 400 is 800. Double Stuf is less than double."
A spokesman for the creme-filled cookie responded to the conundrum.
"While I'm not familiar with what was done in the classroom setting, I can confirm for you that our recipe for the Oreo Double Stuf Cookie has double the Stuf, or creme filling, when compared with our base, or original Oreo cookie," said Kimberley Fontes of Mondelez Global LLC.
But Shep has advice for those who feel cheated by the Double Stuf duplicity.
"Well, you see, when I was a child they didn't have Double Stuf. So what you would do is, you would just eat the center out of all of them and then this part goes back behind the couch. And when we moved into Nana's house in 1978, they might've found them," Smith said. "But if you eat two of them, you have eaten double the filling. But if you eat a Double Stuf, you have not."

Signing Science
This is awesome! I've noticed differences in sign languages around the world, but certain technical words (internet, megabytes, inertia, etc.) have been adopted worldwide. Perhaps science terms will connect us to a universal language which is constantly changing and expanding. Enjoy!
Interpreter Lydia Callis explains how sign language is being developed in ways that may enhance scientific learning and communication.

Jenna Elfman's second pregnancy hasn't been as easy as when she was expecting her and hubby Bodhi's child Story Elias.
Elfman, who is five months pregnant with their second son, tells me she was hurtin' during this first trimester...
"I was massively tired and had nausea and I didn't have any of that during my first pregnancy," says Elfman, 38, who stars in the new CBS sitcom Accidentally On Purpose as a woman who gets pregnant during a one-night stand with a much younger man.
"I was filming the show with insomnia and nausea and then going home to a 2-year-old who's very active," she said. "It was a bit daunting. But I'm past the first three months now and I feel like my head is screwed on better."
Elfman says Story couldn't be more excited about having a sibling.
"I'm not sure if he gets the whole boy or girl thing exactly, but 'baby' he gets," she said. "He's awesome. He gives my tummy a kiss and gives it a bottle and puts the blankey over my tummy and goes, 'Baby, night-night.'"

This is a lovely shade of green. But OPI, however much you try, you are NOT funny.
Maybe I'm just intolerant because I'm in one of those harried moods where everything feels awful. So I can't objectively say my relationship with my boyfriend may be less ideal than it used to be, or that my friendships are all stupid, or that I'm the least awesome person in existence.
I mean it may well all be true but I cannot actually tell at the moment because that's what I'd think anyway.
BLARGH feelings, I have no time for you.
Thank goodness the internet is always funny.
This makes me WANT bifocals, truth be told.
Or how about this?

Okay, maybe I feel a bit better. Mischief managed.

Chief on Red Sox allegation: Cop's racial slur not criminal
An off-duty officer is being investigated for allegedly using a racial slur toward Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford
By Jack Minch
The officer's name has been closely guarded, and he has been placed on desk duty.
"This is clearly not a criminal investigation. It's an internal investigation regarding rules and regulations," Healey said Friday.

THURSDAY, Oct. 28 (HealthDay News) Early humans were using a
highly skilled stone tool sharpening method 75,000 years ago in
Africa, more than 50,000 years earlier than previously believed, a
new study indicates.
This adds more evidence that modern behavior developed over time
during the Middle Stone Age rather than after our ancestors
migrated from Africa to Europe, as some scientists have
Researchers from the University of Colorado at Boulder
discovered that the delicate technique -- called "pressure flaking"
-- was used by anatomically modern humans at Blombos Cave in South
Africa during the Middle Stone Age. Previously, the earliest
evidence of pressure flaking was from 20,000 years ago in France
and Spain.
"This finding is important because it shows that modern humans in South Africa had a sophisticated repertoire of tool-making techniques at a very early time," study co-author Paola Villa, a curator at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History, said in a university news release.
"This innovation is a clear example of a tendency to develop new functional ideas and techniques widely viewed as symptomatic of advanced, or modern behavior," she added.
Pressure flaking "takes place when implements previously shaped
by hard stone hammer strokes followed by softer strikes with wood
or bone hammers are carefully trimmed on edges by directly pressing
the point of a tool made of bone on the stone artifact," according
to background material in the study. Many stones -- with the
exception of jasper, obsidian and high-quality flint -- also had to
be heated before pressure flaking, researchers noted.
This technique enables better control of the sharpness,
thickness and overall shape of two-sided items such as spearheads
and stone knives, Villa explained.
The study appears in the Oct. 29 issue of

Last week, I started talking about how qualified and well-equipped a blogger is to handle PR. There was definitely some good discussion that seemed to land on a sort of happy medium. But it's certainly not the only debate that goes on in the question of "What exactly is a blogger, besides a blogger?"
Most recently, I felt this question was indirectly raised at the newest BlogHer conference, focused specifically on the blogger-to-professional-writer track, namely BlogHer Writers. Are bloggers writers? Are writers bloggers? Can they both be both?
As I started pondering the question, I thought of the word and logic problems we used to study in math class. It went something like this:
Not all bananas are yellow.
Monkeys like yellow fruit.
Do all monkeys like bananas?
Clearly, I'm not a math teacher but the idea here is that you can't assume monkeys like bananas just because they are sometimes yellow. Actually, let me just skip to the point.
As I've stated before, if you are a blogger, you are a writer. You may not be a professional writer being compensated for your writing skills but you are a writer. It's also why I encourage people to improve their writing skills no matter what type of blog they run.
If you are a blogger, you should have a blog relatively free of spelling and grammatical errors. Yes, it counts. You should also focus on sentence structure, flow, and language. Even if you are reviewing a box of macaroni & cheese. If you are following these rules, you should be. Because bloggers are writers and we prefer you to help give us all a good name.
With that said, writing on a self-published blog isn't necessarily going to open doors for you for professional writing assignments. It's an online portfolio of your writing and it's also your platform for your voice. If you want to be heard outside of blogging, be sure you prove your worth by being heard within blogging.
These aren't simply my words. These are the words that came from editors at Penguin House Publishing. They do read blogs. They are paying attention to what people are reading and writing. They do want to discover new talent. Make sure you have your showcase ready.
While we had the ear of the editors and authors, I thought I would ask a question along these lines. My question was: how are bloggers generally perceived by journalists and other writing professionals?
Surprisingly, the answer was that bloggers are gaining respect as they continue to grow and become a strong voice in the community. Many successful bloggers are making the transition to traditional publishing and doing quite well.
On the other hand, you'll see more and more authors becoming bloggers. Why? It's another way that traditional publishing wants you to build your community of readers. Social media is a new world to many of these authors who are still trying to figure out Twitter. Blogging is an entirely different type of writing. And directly engaging with readers may be an unfamiliar and somewhat foreign concept.
So is a blogger a writer? And is a writer a blogger?
I like that the lines are blurred and I'd like to keep them that way. I'm spending more of my time focusing on the development of my professional writing. But I'm also finding that there's a space to help authors understand the new rules of marketing, namely, through social media.
If you are an author new to the world of social media, what are your biggest challenges? If you are a blogger looking to become a published writer, what are your biggest questions?

@Iirdan, I don't buy that line anymore. Going from Vanilla to TBC, sure I bought it. Going from TBC to Wrath I brushed it aside as a luxury request. Going from Wrath to Cata I began to get pretty irked that the one thing I spend the most time staring at in the game world looked the least polished. Scratch that, it looked downright shitty. It's not as if they have not had 5+ years to at least TBC-isize them.

The most generous companies in America
Two supermarket chains and Macy's give the biggest chunk of pre-tax profits to charity. But add it up another way, and Wal-Mart and Goldman Sachs rise to the top.
By Susan Adams for Forbes
At a time when Occupy Wall Street is shining a light on greed in America, some companies make a point of donating a significant chunk of their profits to charity.
Example: In 2010 Kroger (KR), the Cincinnati supermarket operator, gave away 10.9% of its $589 million in 2009 pre-tax profits, amounting to $64 million.
Kroger tops an annual list put together by The Chronicle of Philanthropy. The magazine tracks corporate giving through a survey it sends to 300 of the nation's largest companies by revenue. This year, the Chronicle compiled data on 180 companies, culled from survey results and tax forms.
In 2010, total cash donations by the group rose 13%, to $4.9 billion, a boon to nonprofits after the recession resulted in a 7.5% decline in giving in 2009.
- At Forbes: The 10 companies that give back the most
The Chronicle helped Forbes put together two lists. The one we think is most meaningful names the companies that are most generous in their cash donations as a percentage of pre-tax profits. Kroger tops that list. According to the company's vice president of corporate affairs, Lynn Marmer, $40 million of Kroger's cash giving flows through a 15-year-old community rewards program, whereby shoppers who carry Kroger's loyalty cards name a local charity they want to support. Kroger then gives 2% to 5% (determined by local stores) of each shopper's bill as a cash contribution to the school, church, or community group chosen by the customer.
Macy's (M) comes in second on that list; it gave away 8.1% of 2009 profits in 2010, or $41 million. The third most generous: Safeway(SWY), the Pleasanton, Calif., supermarket chain, which gave away 7.6% of 2009 profits, totaling $76.5 million.
The raw cash numbers
The second list shows companies that gave away the most cash as a raw number. Wal-Mart Stores (WMT), which donated $319 million last year, tops that roster. Given that the Bentonville, Ark., retail colossus had pre-tax profits of $22 billion in 2009, its charitable cash donations came to just 1.45% of that sum.
Wal-Mart maintains that it is also giving away products and expertise. Last year it announced a $2 billion five-year effort to fight hunger. But most of that donation will be in food and only $250 million in cash. Food and other product donations are meaningful but tough to measure, since corporations and the Chronicle survey measure product-giving in terms of fair market value, while the cost to the company of such donations is far lower. For that reason, we focused our lists on cash giving.
Second on the list of companies that donated the most cash in 2010 is Goldman Sachs (GS), which increased its contributions by more than threefold to $315 million at a time when its pre-tax profits dropped 35%. Critics have voiced skepticism about Goldman's generosity, suggesting it may be a way to fend off the criticism of its actions during the liquidity crisis. In April, a Senate panel issued a report accusing Goldman of betting against the mortgage assets it was pitching to clients.
But Goldman officials have said that planning for the three projects responsible for its giving surge was in the works before the financial meltdown. One, a donor-advised fund that takes contributions from firm partners who then recommend charity recipients, was announced in November 2007. Goldman also has a program to help female entrepreneurs in the developing world, called 10,000 Women, announced in March 2008, and another, 10,000 Small Businesses, that aids small enterprises in the U.S., announced in December 2009.
Wells Fargo (WFC) is third on the raw cash list, with $219 million in 2010 donations. A recipient of $25 billion in government bailout money in 2008 which it repaid in 2009, last year the company boosted its giving by 8.5% over 2009. However it didn't restore donations to the $226 million it gave in 2008, the year it merged with Wachovia.
The Chronicle also asked survey respondents about their giving plans for 2011, and most said that donations would remain steady. Of the 103 companies that responded to this query, 71 said they would keep their cash giving at the same levels as 2010.
Lynn Marmer of Kroger, which supports food banks through a hunger charity called Feeding America, says Kroger's giving level has remained flat in 2011, though she says the company has seen a hike in demand by the food banks it supports. Kroger donates both cash and food that Marmer says is the equivalent of 125 million meals a year, to food banks. "Food stamps only provide about a half a month's worth of food," she points out. "Food pantries have seen their volume not just double but quadruple."

It is odd to me that people would frown on workers making a livable wage, what is there to frown about?
I work for a family owned company not a large corporation and not one person here makes minimum wage. Everyone here works hard, cares about the customer and a quality product goes out the door. If the employee does not live up to that they are let go (no union reps here).
This has worked well for the last forty years the company makes a very nice profit. Everybody benifits, the owners, employees and the customer.
When I find a business that lives up to this standard I support them even if it means a little higher price for me. I would rather have less "stuff" than buy cheap crap from cheap companies, that in my opinion does harm to our community.
I'll speak up for Kroger, AT St. Jude Childrens Research in Memphis, Kroger donates shopping gift cards to families that are down there with their children. Some families are there for years on end treating their kids and Kroger's is a huge part of helping save lives. Without such generosity on thier part the strain on the families trying to save their children
would be monumental.
Thank You Kroger, I'm a St. Jude Partent myself.
Wal-Mart, always low wages, dismal health benefits. And, why do you fund life insurance premiums for employee's - who's the beneficiary?
Yeaa...you donate your share of "pre-tax"(tax-deductible) community (P.R.) $'s.
My mother taught me that charitable giving stats at home. You've got 100, 000 employees. Why not spread some of your $400 mil in ex-ternal givng, too the employees that helped you make it!?
I am sorry this does not warm my heart! If these same companies would stop cutting benefits (Wal-Mart) and pay their employees a livable wage then perhaps they would not need to give to so many charities. Oh but these "generous" donations are probably pretty good tax write offs. I could be wrong as I am not a corporate tax lawyer. (though the article did say these are pretax dollars)
Just pay people enough to live on so they do not have to stoop to handouts. I will not shop anywhere that does not respect their employees.
The Kroger company focuses its charitable efforts on supporting hunger relief, health and wellness initiatives, and local organizations in the communities it serves. The company also supports our Troops. Walmart does all the same. But, what about the employees?
I stand by Kroger because I work for them. My mother worked for Walmart making a crappy $8.50/hr. I made $9.50 doing the same thing at Kroger back home in New Mexico. Hopefully more now that I live in Texas. That little dollar makes a difference. I also get more hours. I actually like going to work because the company makes me feel like I actually matter. I've also recieved bonuses here and there.
For a 20 year old such as myself that's not bad in my book. It'll help with school.
have you ever been asked to give a donation to a cause when paying for your merchandise or groceries while shopping? just know, while it is admirable that you may do so and it probably is good for the recipients of the donations that big stores are asking you, when you give via a large store, for example Safeway groceries (they always ask), it is safeway credited in publicity and large write-offs for your donations. Many of the donations these companies are credited with are not necessarily part of donations from true earnings but are are your donations. If you just donated regularly from your own home to the same organization, it is you credited with it and not a third party. They save a big chunk of money when they donate your donation when they file taxes. With that said, I am sure they collect more money through persistantly, dilligently asking for the donations via the millions of shoppers they attract and I don't want to say anthing to detour from that. I only wish the data pertaining to THEIR donations was broken down to reflect what others have contributed...and maybe a holiday turkey @ the end of the year, which you can choose to donate if you like, since you won't be writing it off. Maybe some donations done in this manner are written off by the individual but my spidey senses tell me otherwise.

Best smartwatches: what's the best wearable tech for you?
15th Jan 2014 | 14:57
Top wearable tech for your wrist
Only time will tell if the concept of the smartwatch catches on, but the big brands are nevertheless readying products. Most of these are smartphone-linked accessories: Samsung already has its Galaxy Gear, while the Apple smartwatch, Google smartwatch and Microsoft smartwatch are all expected some time in 2014.
Intel used CES 2014 to discuss a prototype that doesn't need to be tethered to a smartphone and sports geofencing tech to create location-based notifications, while Archos announced that it would soon deliver a smartwatch for under £50 ($80, about AU$93).
Wearable devices are the future, with analysts at New Yorkj-based market intelligence firm ABI Research predicting that such devices could number a staggering 485 million by 2018. Here are the best smartwatches we know about so far.
1. Samsung Galaxy Gear
Price:£277, US$299, AUS$324 | Compatible with: Galaxy Note 2/3, Galaxy S3/S4, Galaxy tablets
It's not been the hit accessory Samsung hoped it would be, but the Galaxy Gear remains the flagship attempt at a smartwatch from a big brand. What it has that the other boutique brands' efforts lack is a camera and, despite this 1.9MP shooter being situated on the wrist-strap, the Gear doesn't feel overly cumbersome when worn.
However, it's a little on the large side because of the 1.6-inch Super AMOLED 320 x 320 screen.
The Galaxy Gear pairs with a Samsung device via NFC and Bluetooth, and automatically switches on when you raise your arm - although this function is erratic. The integration of third-party apps is cool as are the voice memos and the ability to tell your wrist to add a meeting to your calendar.
There's no Wi-Fi or GPS, though, and it requires a charging cradle to re-juice. However, with new firmware, the Gear can send email notifications, Facebook and Twitter updates (for reading), Google Hangout messages and Messenger pings, making it handy indeed.
A locked-down interface, a less than intuitive operation and a huge pricetag could leave an open goal for Apple, but there's a lot to like about Gear.
- Read our Samsung Galaxy Gear review
2. Sony Smartwatch 2
Price: £149, US$200, AUS$210 | Compatible with: Android version 4.0 and above
Compatible with any Android smartphone running version 4.0 and above, Sony has made a smartwatch that's half the cost and much more versatile than Samsung's Galaxy Gear.
A relatively uninspired square slab of glass, metal and plastic, this second incarnation of a Sony smartwatch carries an IP57 certificate, meaning it's dust-proof and will happily last up to 30 minutes in fresh water up to a depth of 1m.
You also get a trio of touch-sensitive keys below the 1.6-inch "Transflective" LCD display, and if you're an Android user you'll instantly recognise these as the back, home and menu keys. Battery life stretches to three days, while a range of Google Play apps bring some nice extra options.
But our favourite feature? The ability to use it with any 24mm watch strap. It's a sign that smartwatch designers realise that their products have to fit into normal people's lives, and not the other way around.
- Read our Sony Smartwatch 2 review
3. Cookoo
Price: £80, US$132, AUS$148 | Compatible with: selected iOS and Android devices
Looking more like a designer accessory than an armful of computer power, this modern-looking smartwatch has some great connected features, and is available for both iOS (iPhone 4, 5, 5C, 5S and iPad mini, 3 and 4 and iPod touch 4) and Android (Samsung Galaxy S4, S4 Active, Note 3 and HTC One) devices. After establishing a Bluetooth link to the handset, the Cookoo can alert you to incoming calls and messages, and can even operate a camera remotely, though you'll still need someone to hold it.
We do like the calendar reminders, low battery alert, alarms and its waterproof design, though if you head off into the sea without your phone, you will get beeped at as you dive under the waves. (The Cookoo gets its name from the sound it makes.)
The Cookoo can check you in on Facebook, though you still need to use the free Time To Connect app to complete the transaction. Nice idea, but hardly enough to make Cuckoo the "Facebook watch" it promised to be.
- Read our Cookoo review
4. Pebble Steel
Price:£152, US$249, AUS$278 | Compatible with: iOS and Android
With a few hundred thousand sold so far, the Kickstarter-launched Pebble has proved to be the smartwatch that most people have heard of. A watch for iOS and Android apps that uses power-saving epaper rather than a conventional LCD display, the Pebble's battery consequently lasts for a whole week.
Connecting to you smartphone via Bluetooth, Pebble has a customisable clock face that can receive the same notifications from a paired phone as most other smartwatches, including social media updates.
A newly announced Steel version - available in Brushed Stainless or Black Matte - is sleeker than previous incarnations, with a tough Corning Gorilla Glass display and an LED to indicate the charging status.
In a long overdue move by Pebble at CES 2014, it was announced that its official app store would go live by the end of January 2014.

5. Casio G-Shock GB-6900AA
Price: £163, US$180, AUS$245 | Compatible with: iPhone 4S, 5 and 5S
Casio is being pretty bullish about its future in the smart watch market, but you could argue that its Bluetooth-powered smartwatch represents no more than simple first-gen thinking.
Linking to an iPhone 4S or iPhone 5 hosting Casio's G-Shock app, the Casio G-Shock GB-6900AA's LED-backlit display notifies the wearer of incoming phone calls, emails and texts, and Facebook and Twitter updates.
You can also operate the iPhone's alarm (helpful if you tend to misplace your phone), and the GB-6900AA vibrates if it loses the Bluetooth link, which stretches only to about 2m. Another useful travel feature is world time: the GB-6900AA syncs with the iPhone's refreshed time when you change time zones.
There's no touchscreen here, but the GB-6900AA is a smart-looking, traditional watch with added extra smartphone-sync goodness. That appearance could be its trump card. Best of all, it uses a CR2032 button-cell battery that last for months.
- Read our Casio G-Shock GB-6900AA review
6. Martian G2G
Price: £165, US$249, AUS$260 | Compatible with: iOS and Android
Another smartwatch that started as a Kickstarter-funded project, the Martian G2G's big feature is voice control. Looking, acting and feeling like a regular timepiece, a tiny 96 x 16 pixel OLED display on the Martian's front is home to scrolling alerts that let you know about incoming direct messages on Facebook, Twitter mentions, reminders, events from Google Calendar and incoming emails.
Text message alerts on the Martian G2G's OLED screen also work, though it's like reading scrolling updates on the BBC News channel. Patience is needed, and you don't always get the entire message.
Where the G2G impresses most is with voice interaction and hands-free calling. A noise-isolating microphone allows the wearer to voice-dial phone numbers, speak-in text messages and have Siri speak to you via the watch's speakers.
The entire operation is configured using a Martian Watch Alerts app on any iOS or Android device, with the G2G using a lithium battery that refuels via USB.

7. i'm Watch
Price: £219, US$361, AUS$406 | Compatible with: Android
We're not sure a recent price drop on this Android-compatible smart watch will save it from eventual obscurity, but I'm Watch is an interesting attempt nevertheless.
One of the few touchscreen smart watches available so far, its high price is accompanied by a useful extra feature that its rivals lack; it puts apps on your wrist. Made in Italy – which might explain the lack of a determiner between 'i'm' and 'Watch' – it links to a smartphone via Bluetooth and displays and reads out messages and emails, while phone calls can be made from the i'm Watch by choosing a contact.
Meanwhile its own i'market claims to host hundreds of apps (including a compass, radio tuner and, err, a metronome), with i'music offering six million songs via the built-in headphones slot but only if you preselect and download them.It also includes Facebook and calendar alerts, cloud storage and fitness functions, with full-text Twitter and Facebook messages guaranteed.
Sadly, there's no text message integration and the touchscreen is an unresponsive as the operating system is cumbersome, but feature-wise it could be a sign of things to come.

8. LG Lifeband Touch
Price: £110, US$179, AUS$202 | Compatible with: Android and iOS
LG has blended the fitness band and smartwatch to create the gesture-activated Lifeband Touch. Compatible with Apple products as well as Android, Lifeband Touch's three-axis accelerometer and altimeter record data on steps taken, distance travelled and calories burned, then send it all to LG's Fitness smartphone app (as well as MyFitnessPal, Runkeeper or MapMyFitness).
But it's not just for fitness. Designed for day-to-day use, it also deals in call and text alerts from your Bluetooth-connected smartphone. Complete with OLED display, a five-day battery and a splash-proof design, LG's Lifeband Touch should hit Europe in late 2014 after an initial US-only distribution.

9. ZTE BlueWatch
Price: TBA | Compatible with: Android
We've known about it for a few months, but Chinese manufacturer ZTE waited until CES 2014 to unveil details of its forthcoming - and first-ever - smartwatch, the BlueWatch.
Running on Android, the BlueWatch has a 1.26-inch display sporting a 144 x 168 resolution display and as its name suggests, uses Bluetooth to connect to a smartphone. That link enables hands-free calling through BlueWatch as well as on-watch viewing of Twitter and Facebook accounts. BlueWatch can also funnel photos from phone to wrist.
In a LG-like move to meld the smartwatch genre with the rather larger market for fitness wearables, the BlueWatch has a built-in pedometer and even gives a (how accurate?) calculation for the wearer's body fat percentage.
However, unless you're the owner of one of its increasingly impressive smartphones (such as the Blade V, ZTE Open or Grand S) the BlueWatch will be useless to you.
10. Razer Nabu
Price: £61, US$100, AUS$113 | Compatible with: Android and iOS
Is it a fitness band or a smartwatch? Another is-it-or-isn't-it device is due shortly from Razer, whose Nabu device wowed the CES 2014 with its "smartband" (see what Razer did there?), though its on-sale date isn't yet confirmed.
It counts steps, distance and calories, and even picks-out altitude and monitors sleep quality, but where Nabu crosses the fence is with notifications.
When linked to a smartphone via Bluetooth, Nabu can fetch text messages and emails, and display them on one of its two OLED screens. Text messages and emails can be read on a 128 x 32 pixel OLED screen while a 32 x 32 pixel grid is reserved exclusively for notification icons.
Despite all this, an early standout feature is its battery life, which is said to stretch to 10 days. Razer also promised that Nabu will be compatible with some augmented reality games of the future.

"It's been remarkable to see how much green cleaning in schools has grown in the two years since we released the first guide," said Rochelle Davis, Executive Editor of the guide and Founding Executive Director of the Healthy Schools Campaign. "There is a growing awareness of the way that cleaning can affect the health of everyone in the building, from students to the custodial staff working closely with the chemicals. In that way, a cleaning program affects student performance, staff attendance and the overall climate of a school. We're honored to work with so many leading organizations to provide a guide that schools can use to make their buildings clean, healthy places to learn and work."
The Healthy Schools Campaign is a not-for-profit organization that has become a leading authority on healthy school environments. The HSC's mission is to advocate for policies and practices that allow all students, teachers and staff to learn and work in a healthy school environment.
"Hydro Systems is excited to be sponsoring the Healthy Schools Campaign and this is another example of our commitment to the continual improvement in cleaning technologies used in classrooms today and in the future," said Bradley Drury, Hydro Systems. "Since we launched the ICS 8900 mobile cleaning unit in 2007, it has been very evident that the green benefits of this new touchless technology works hand-in-hand with the mission of the HSC to provide cleaner and healthier schools."

1) This is what started it – a study on the 20 greatest Indian Test cricketers of all-time (by the website HoldingWilley), which made the front page of The Hindustan Times nationally on February 8th 2009. This wasn't Impact Index yet but what led to it, which suggests the vacuum that exists for an entity like Impact Index. The mindset that guided this, however, was very much what was eventually responsible for Impact Index – exactly the same team worked on it and drew heavily from the work done during this exercise.
2) Impact Index was unveiled in Oxford in July 2009, during the ICC Centenary History Conference, at Oxford, England. The 20-minute presentation was a big success and it led to the entire Test cricket study being published in The Cricket Statistician - the erudite and time-honoured journal of the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians, in December 2009. (The findings of this study now are somewhat outdated, as the data inputted was only till early-2009).
3) In August 2009, Impact Index was the main subject of a 30-minute radio show on cricket – Frontfoot, from New Jersey.
4) The T20 version of Impact Index (still a manual system) was used as the "Official Stats Partner" for the Radiant Info Twenty20 USA tournament, the biggest T20 tournament in the United States in September 2010. This was a first for any statistical tool in the game of cricket – umpires in this tournament even sported Impact Index on their shirts. The system was used to give out all the individual awards in the tournament.
5) In the same period, Castrol Cricket's website had a famous statistical analyst call Impact Index the only existing statistical system capable of doing certain things.
6) On 24th January 2011, Impact Index was featured on the front page of The Times of India nationwide, for its study on the greatest ODI players of all-time. The website launched the next day.
7) It led to some international coverage too, like this, where one of the new Australian stars of cricket was even queried about Impact Index.
8) The Times of India exclusively tied-up with Impact Index for World Cup 2011. Though they barely utilised 20% of its potential when it came to ODI cricket, there were several comprehensive pieces during the tournament, especially just before it began.
9) The most famous sports reference book in the world - Wisden Almanack 2012 - has a write-up on Impact Index, which, to the best of everybody's knowledge, makes it the first alternative stats system in cricket to ever receive this honour in the 148 years of its existence.
10) Impact Index was also covered on the Forbes India website for its utility in helping team management picking the right players and spotting unknown talent, especially in T20s. The same piece was also published in Firstpost.
11) Impact Index also got featured on two separate shows of ESPN Cricinfo's- The Huddle. The first one spoke about the importance of statistics taking match context into account whereas the second one was an analysis of the highest impact players and the teams in IPL 2013.
12) We were featured in a 30-minute prime-time television show on NDTV on Tendulkar's place in cricket in November 2013.
13) BBC World Service quoted Impact Index in 9-minute special show on Sachin Tendulkar in November 2013.
This fantasy exercise began the coverage – an All-Time Indian One-Day Dream Team – utilising Impact Index's unique ability to measure performances from different eras.
Every participating World Cup team was previewed, and this was the Indian preview, where Impact Index tipped India as favourites to lift the World Cup.
Pieces like this – with 15 provocative observations, piqued the curiousity of many cricket fans. The very first observation here about not taking New Zealand lightly and tipping them to reach the semis (we were the only "experts" to stick our necks out to say that) proved prophetic.
The comprehensive preview piece on all the participating teams of World Cup 2011 was a collector's item for a lot of fans. It gave out a lot of information about the teams, which even the coaches might have found useful.
There were preview pieces for each and every match in the World Cup, and this was the one on the eve of the final between India and Sri Lanka.
"Impact Index is the closest anyone has come to produce cricket's Moneyball moment." - Lawrence Booth, Editor, Wisden Almanack 2012
"Cricket Australia have found the team from Impact Index very helpful in challenging our thinking in 2012. They were asked for their recommendation on several selection and performance topics and consistently recommended players that were not necessarily on the radar. These recommended players were supported by individual and collective performances such that ensuing selection and performance debate was richer and deeper than it otherwise would have been – thank you Impact Index for your ongoing support"– Pat Howard, General Manager, Cricket Australia
All the above has happened without a single rupee spent on PR or Marketing.

I could never get comfortable with the ArcHUD/IceHUD format, I will probably give it another shot. I need to set up my laptop for WoW so I can play on an upcoming vacation and, being a much smaller screen, something like this would probably help with saving some space.
Unfortunately, setting up a new UI is one of those love/hate things for me. I love the process and the finished product, but it can be sooooo frustrating until everything finally clicks.
Suggestion: Play with the transparency options to make the bars almost completely transparent when not in combat, and partially so when in combat. The full 100% all the time can be extremely intrusive, when you really only need the bars very visible during fights.
Also, try out the straight/arc options and different background textures. This can make a huge difference also in how intrusive you find the bars.
GlowArcs is the skin I use and it's more covert.
I go with full on when in combat, 30% transparent when out of combat and regenerating, and invisible when OOC and at 100%.
I only use this on my rogue because for other classes I need to watch CD's and I have my unit frames down near my button trays anyway. It was the easiest and nicest unit frame mod I have ever set up.

A New Zealand company has taken on 25 more staff after winning a $100 million contract with giant American company Lockheed Martin to help look after the US Antarctic programme.
PAE NZ will help Lockheed Martin provide a "cost-effective and streamlined service" at Christchurch, supporting people and equipment, medical facilities, research vessels, and construction projects at remote sites in and around Antarctica, it announced on Thursday.
In December, Lockheed Martin was awarded the $US2 billion ($NZ2.6b) contract to operate and maintain the support infrastructure of the US Antarctic Programme.
The contract is for an initial four-and-a-half years but could be extended to 13 years.
The $100m figure is for the 13-year period.
The contract started at the beginning of April, but was only announced on Thursday because of sensitivities around it, chief executive Philip Orchard told NZ Newswire.
PAE NZ employs about 330 staff and has taken on 25 staff, who had worked with the Antarctic programme under a previous contractor, rising to about 35 staff during the busier summer season.
About 2000 people travel down to the US Antarctic programme each year.
"It's an exciting contract for us and a good addition to our business. We are very pleased," Mr Orchard said.
PAE NZ already provides facilities management and operational support services for the military, local government, education, healthcare, manufacturing, energy and commercial sectors.
It has been operating in New Zealand since 1991.
It is part of the US-based global company Pacific Architects and Engineers, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin until last year, when it was bought by private equity firm Lindsay Goldberg.

Notes from the gang at the Xavier Institute. Set pre-beach. For now. Will end up being an AU. Managed by me.
To all of you beautiful, patient followers of mine - a deepest apology to you all. This tumblr account was inaccesible for nearly 6 months due to an internal virus. I contacted Tumblr via e-mail and they finally, FINALLY fixed it. I should be able to start answering questions again within the next 48 hours. Thanks again for sticking with me!

First, let me apologize for taking so damn long to update. I do have my reasons, but that would definitely result in a tl;dr post. So to sum up: There's a lot going on in my life. I'm trying to balance 4 AP classes, the homework from those AP classes, my familial duties, my job, and my friends. I average about 3-4 hours of sleep per night. It's horrid. In the face of my busy schedule, blog-managing fell to the wayside. I have no idea what I did to deserve you all, as I have not received a single scathing message about my unforgivable lack of updates. I honestly cannot thank you enough. I'm not sure what I would've done if I had received any hate anons over the past few weeks.
Today, I received a gentle prompting asking for me to 'please come back'.
So I'm back. It'll be hard, and I may still be bad at answering promptly, as I have 20 asks backed up to answer first, but I'm back.
Thank you again.

Hello lovelies! Just a heads up that I'm going to be out of town for the next 5 days and will not have access to my computer. Also, school starts for me on the 6th of September, and to be quite honest, I probably won't be able to update until then because I have 3 books to read before that day which…whoops.
Also - I added an FAQ page to the blog, so do check that out.
Thanks again for being so awesome!

yeah….. thanks, prick.

Ask Slashdot: Best Software For Med-School Note-Taking?
timothy posted about a year ago | from the you-mean-you-don't-like-onenote dept.217
First time accepted submitter spencj writes "I'm just starting year two of medical school, and I've been rethinking the way I make and create notes/study guides. One of the problems I've considered is that we learn about the same topic in several arenas. For example, if I consider some disease like coronary artery disease, I will likely learn about this topic in cardiology, radiology, pharmacology, and then in outside study resources such as Kaplan guides, online resources, etc.. Further, it will come up in August, October, March, April, etc.. My dream app is some combination of Excel, Visio, Word, and a blog where I could tag selections of text. If I then 'filtered' by certain parameters, it would collapse all the information I'd collected from different resources. For example, say I create a flowchart in Visio, take some notes in Word, create a table in Excel, and save from text from a web resource. I tag each item with 'coronary artery disease,' then I want to quickly query for all of my items with this tag. Is there any kind of app or resource that can pull this off? Medical students everywhere would be grateful."
