NEW YORK, Mar 27, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) --PVH Corp. (NYSE: PVH) was recognized in Norges Bank Investment
Management's 2011 NBIM Children's Rights Disclosure Rating as one of
only 14 out of 452 assessed companies to get top marks for managing and
reporting on the risks of child labor use and children's rights
violations in their operations and supply chains.
NBIM performs an annual assessment of whether companies in their
portfolio who are exposed to child labor and children's rights risks are
disclosing information in line with the NBIM Investor Expectations on
Children's Rights. These expectations include: preventing the worst
forms of child labor, including hazardous working conditions that may
physically or mentally damage children; sustaining the minimum age
standard; promoting child welfare; and using governance structures to
facilitate realistic strategies and responses to the management of child
labor and children's rights.
NBIM examines each company's public disclosure of information to
determine how the company scored on ten criteria (indicators) for
managing child labor and children's rights risks. PVH received a maximum
score of 10 in 2011, along with companies such as Walt Disney, Intel,
Adidas, and Hennes & Maurtiz. In 2010, PVH was also recognized in the
NBIM Children's Disclosure Rating as one out of only 9 companies among a
pool of 527 to achieve a maximum score of 10.
Emanuel Chirico, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PVH, said "We
are honored to be recognized for our efforts in preventing child labor
and promoting children's rights and safety. Corporate Social
Responsibility is central to our business strategy, and we continue to
be committed to furthering children's rights and to responsible,
transparent reporting and disclosure. We commend NBIM for publishing an
annual assessment which exposes child labor issues in the global supply
chain and promotes accountability. We hope that this recognition, and
others like it, will serve as a means to advance children's rights and
responsible corporate reporting practices in the apparel industry and
among all corporations."
The list of top ranked companies was published on March 26, 2011 and is
available on NBIM's webpage, www.nbim.no
along with detailed information on NBIM's Investor Expectations on
Children's Rights.

Virginia Christian
|Virginia Christian
Photograph of Virginia Christian, 1912
|August 15, 1895
|August 16, 1912
(aged 17)
Richmond, Virginia
|Criminal penalty
|Death by electrocution
Virginia Christian (15 August 1895 – 16 August 1912) was the first female criminal executed in the 20th century in the state of Virginia, and a juvenile offender executed in the United States. She was also the only female juvenile executed by electric chair and, to date, the last female criminal executed in the electric chair by the Commonwealth of Virginia. She was the last female criminal executed by the Commonwealth until Thursday, September 23, 2010 when Teresa Lewis became the first female criminal in nearly a century to be executed in the US state of Virginia.[1]
Christian, a black maid, was convicted for the murder of her employer Mrs. Ida Virginia Belote, a white woman, aged 72 years, in her home at Hampton on 18 March 1912.[2][3] It is said she confessed shortly after she was arrested.
Belote frequently mistreated Christian, and in mid- March 1912, an argument ensued between the two in which Belote accused Christian of stealing a locket and a skirt. Belote hit Christian with a cuspidor, commonly called a 'spittoon'. The altercation escalated when Christian and Belote ran for two broom handles Belote used to prop up her bedroom windows. Christian grabbed one of the broom handles and struck Belote on the forehead. In an attempt to stifle Belote's screams, Christian stuffed a towel down Belote's throat, and the woman died by suffocation.
When Christian left the house, she stole Belote's purse with some money and a ring. One newspaper reported that police found Belote's body "laying face down in a pool of blood, and her head was horribly mutilated and a towel was stuffed into her mouth and throat". (Streib & Sametz, 1989, p. 25; see also Moten, 1997)
Police soon arrested Christian, and during questioning she admitted to hitting Belote but was shocked that Belote was dead. Christian claimed she had no intent to kill Belote. With a lynch mob looming in the background, an Elizabeth City County Court tried and convicted Christian for murder and the trial judge sentenced her to death in the state's electric chair. One day after her 17th birthday in August 1912, a short five months after the crime, Virginia authorities executed Christian at the state penitentiary in Richmond.[4]
Governor William Hodges Mann declined to commute the death sentence, despite a plea from Virginia's mother, Charlotte Christian,[3] who wrote to him:
- My dear mr governor
- Please for give me for Bowing low to write you a few lines: I am the mother of Virginiany Christian. I have been pairalized for mor then three years and I could not and Look after Gennie as I wants too. I know she dun an awful weaked thing when she kill Miss Belote and I hear that the people at the penetintry wants to kill her but I is praying night and day on my knees to God that he will soften your heart so that She may spend the rest of her days in prison. they say that the whole thing is in yours Hands and I know Governer if you will onely save my child who is little over sixteen years old God will Bless you for ever … If I was able to come to see you I could splain things to you better but I cant do nothing but pray to God and ask him to help you to simpithise with me and my truble
- I am your most umble subgeck,
- Charlotte Christian.[2]
Christian was electrocuted in the state prison in Richmond. She was 17 years old. The paper reported that her body was to be turned over to the state medical school, because her parents did not have the money to transport the body from Richmond.

SAN FRANCISCO — About 3:20 a.m. Sunday, Talbot Cox awoke to an intense shaking and swaying in his 20th-floor hotel room in downtown San Francisco.
While in San Francisco, an Oklahoma City Community College student experiences 6.0 earthquake
When he came to his senses, he realized what was happening: a magnitude of earthquake he had never felt before.
"I always wake up to the earthquakes in Oklahoma," said Cox, 21, an Oklahoma City Community College student. "My family usually sleeps through them."
This time, that wasn't the case. His siblings and parents all woke up to the hotel's violent vibrations.
"It literally felt like someone was at the end of my bed just rocking it with their foot," Cox said. "I've never felt that hard of an impact. You could hear all the boards in the hotel kind of cracking a little bit."
Cox got a little more than he bargained for on this trip to visit his brother, who attends a computer school in San Francisco. He said for about 45 seconds the building rocked back and forth.
When the building settled, the family members immediately checked social media to confirm what they felt.

How to offer a lease without using leasing company
in the forum
Accounting & Financial Management
We`re in need of offering a lease with flexible terms as we launch a new capital product. We`ve found several leasing companies that we could work with, but I`m not a fan of their terms (from the customers perspective, these are very expensive). We are hand picking our initial customers and building strong relationships. We have no issues with recourse back to us for failure to pay (i.e. - there is no value to us in the leasing company taking this risk on their books and pricing the lease accordingly). We`d like to offer a lease to our customers ourselves for the next 12 months or so. Anyone have some direction on where we could get some sound advice on how to offer and structure a lease ourselves rather than through a leasing company? Jeff

Parent / Subsidiary structure advice (LLC or S-corp)
in the forum
Accounting & Financial Management
We structured ourselves a bit differently, but it has worked well. Having all assets in an LLC means that you can be very flexible about taking investment through the LLC (can be from companies, non-US citizens, etc). The disadvantage is that you have to offer membership, not stock. We have an S-Corp that is owned and controlled by the founders. This allows us to issue stock in any way and any amount we want (as long as we don`t violate rules and lose S-Corp status). The S-Corp is the Manager of the LLC and all assets and IP are held by the LLC. The S-Corp holds a controlling interest in the LLC. Thus, the founders continue to manage the company, accrue S-Corp / LLC benefits, yet we can flexibly raise funds by offering Membership in the LLC. Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but an S-Corp managing an LLC has worked very well for us so far.

Deadlight ReviewPC
key review info
- Game: Deadlight
- Platform: PC
- Gamepad support: Yes
- Reviewed on:
- Show system requirements
It's been quite a year for zombie games as fans of the genre were hit with lots of new titles that promise a new approach that should blow your mind.
Deadlight is just another zombie game built on the Unreal Engine that tries to come up with something new, but ends up full of clichés taken from previous titles.
The game was initially launched on Xbox 360 and received mixed reviews. I'm not sure whether or not developers decided to bring the game on PC based on these reviews, but I'm certain they couldn't make too many changes in just two months.
Created by Spanish indie studio Tequila Work, Deadlight is an interesting mixture of survival horror and side-scrolling platformer. Although it's been built using Epic's Unreal Engine, Deadlight isn't a 3D game or a 2D one, but something in between.
The story is pretty simple and counts as the first cliché. It's year 1986 and an outbreak of a virus turned most humans into mindless brain-eating zombies, who are called "Shadows" in the game. You play the role of Randall Wayne, the only survivor of the apocalyptic event.
The action takes place in Seattle and you, as Randall, have to reunite with your family who is supposedly camped in a safe area called "Safe Point." For that to happen, Randall needs to get through a city ravaged by "Shadows" and that's where the action starts.
What really makes Deadlight shine is the "darkness" that surrounds the main character. I would have been very happy to say the same thing about the story, but the plot is so evasive that by the end of the game you wonder why you had to go all that way to the finish line.
However, I did like the pieces of Randall's diary that you stumble upon during your journey and totally found interesting the fact that you will unearth bodies of famous killers (!?), but I won't give you any spoilers here.
Even though the game offers some combat action, developers strongly suggest that this is not how players must approach the game. And they are right. Once you get attacked by a zombie and start throwing punches, more will be alerted and there's no way that you can escape when you have only three points of health.
Basically, the best approach when you get attacked is a hit and run tactic, otherwise you're pretty much dead, or better "zombified." Unfortunately, for that strategy to work you need good, responsive controls, which, sadly, Deadlight fails to offer to players.
I found controls being too clunky and there were times when I had to die at least a dozen times just because Randall would not crouch on time. I also found the puzzles throughout the game pretty naive or almost non-existent.
The main objective in Deadlight is to get through the city of Settle unscathed. Given the fact that this is a platformer, you can only move from left to right and the idea is to survive each puzzle that is presented to you.
Alas, there were no puzzles and the only choice you have to successfully leave a room or a building is the most obvious. I felt like I was herded towards the end of the game with only one choice to make (not necessarily wrong), which was always the most obvious.
I tried playing Deadlight for PC using a controller only after I found that using the keyboard is pretty awkward. I can definitely say that the controller is the way to go, even though sometimes, when you need it most, Randall simply won't execute the given command as quickly as he should. That can only mean one thing, death and reload.
Graphics and Sound
Deadlight's visuals are simply stunning. I can definitely say that this is one of the game's strongest points, along with the "dark" background music. Some critics considered Deadlight a 2.5D game, but I see it as a 2D platformer with 3D environments, not necessarily a hybrid between the two.
Obviously, Randall cannot interact with the environments, which sometimes creates some weird situations when you want to aim your revolver at a zombie coming for you, but because he's still part of the "environment" you cannot really target the monster. Maybe that's the way it was supposed to be, but it's pretty awkward.
When it comes to music, well, let's just say developers were so proud of their achievement they are selling the soundtrack separately for 4.99 EUR/4.99 USD. I'm not sure if it's really worth it, but I actually enjoyed every minute of it.
The Good
- Gorgeous 3D environments
- Excellent soundtrack
- Beautifully depicted apocalyptic world
The Bad
- Faulty controls
- Shallow story
- Puzzles are too obvious
- Too short (3-4 hours of gameplay)
Deadlight is an interesting mix of side-scrolling cinematic platformer and survival horror. Some say that if you were able to pair up Limbo and The Walking Dead, then Deadlight would be their natural offspring.
Although full of cliché taken from other zombie games, Deadlight manages to attract players thanks to its gorgeous environments and "dark" pieces of the story. At least that's what made me go on after dying at least a dozen times due to bad controls.
I do recommend Deadlight to fans of the genre, as you can never have enough zombie games. But I must warn you that this one can be very frustrating sometimes due to its clunky controls.
And obviously, if you don't use a controller and try to play it with keyboard and mouse, prepare for some pain. Now that I think of it, the bad controls may be a "feature" and not poor programming; you decide.

I actually didn't do it all that much, it was in some random battle(s) and I already had him in my party. If I was doing it, it was probably because his physical stuff AND his fire stuff really were both useless for whatever reason. Honestly, it was months ago, so whatever.
Although *who* learns Fire Break might be different in Persona 3 than in Persona 3: FES. Wow, random change much?

aisa is a small continent
Wrong! Asia is the largest continent in the WORLD! I am studying this right now. And: miss frangelica if that is your name, Asia has many world powers including China and North Korea. China has had an economic BOOM and North Korea has the 4th largest army in the world. They also have Atomic Bombs! Japan is super duper advanced in technology and South Korea has one of the best math programs in the world. India and China have the largest populations in the world. You have a 1/6 chance to be born in India! And Russia is the largest country in the world covering Asia and Europe, it also has the deepest lake in the world: Lake Baikal. It borders three of the 4 oceans: Indian, Pacific, and Arctic. . Also, Asia has the largest peak in the world: Everest! So if your think Asia is small, take a look again because God didn't create Asia as a filler, He created it to serve a purpose in HIS plan.
[…] USE MAP found here to answer questions 4 and 5. South Asia Map […]
Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon every day.
It's always interesting to read articles from other authors and practice something from
their websites.

I guess you are having difficulty what I said is I have a bid in at .04 that continues and I will buy as we go up. It could be Monday but I do not feed flippers that unethically post. I actually surprised you haven't referred to ROI as part of the doomsday on the 21st of Dec (lol), but then again you would not be able to save me. I think the Mayan calendar was actually telling us that the world is changing and security is more important than ever. Oh I am laughing while I type this as I think it is particularly good seeing you guys with the crazies and chanting don't buy but sell us your cheap shares. Cheers to all and with that I go on another hiatus from posting with the fools. I enjoy relevant posts and will continue to read, so Thank You posters who keep me in touch with the truth. JMO but when Simon decides I should be on ignore I know something very good is coming and he is scrambling to insult. C'est le vie. Jim

SRRT confidently campaigns #35 WRX STI on major road racing circuits in North America. That means pushing it into corners of varying banking and radii; adjusting for pavement that could be cold, dusty, sandy, wet, extremely hot, or anything in between; cornering on three wheels where necessary, but alert to pavement irregularities that could bounce the car onto two wheels; accelerating down long straights, short straights, and anything in between; and coping with steep hills, diabolic S-turns, blind corners, sweeping turns, and down-hill runs that terminate in curves of more than 90 degrees. #35 does all this and more while racing other cars attempting to do the same things in less time, passing and being passed, all while the team calculates when to stop to switch drivers, change tires, and add fuel.
By the end of a season in search of a championship for Subaru, a lot of the WRX STI that took the green flag for the first race in January at Daytona will be replaced due to wear and/or contact. Engine, transmission, shocks, brakes, doors, fenders, hood -- nothing is immune to the attrition on track.
Rally stages are run on surfaces of just about every type throughout the season: isolated gravel roads with ruts, roads with dirt so thick that it flows like water when the cars plow through, roads that wind along the edge of mountains and hills with a sharp cliff face on one side and precipitous drop-off on the other, tree-lined trails that threaten any misstep with ultimate peril, pavement of every description subject to weather ranging in temperature from below zero to above 100 and with sun, rain, ice, sleet, snow -- every type of precipitation. Throw in hills that launch the cars into the air as well as water crossings as dangerous as they are thrilling to watch, intersections that demand hand-brake turns and sliding sideways with precision, and that's a taste of rally.

Jumps are a part of rally, where the best of drivers negotiate them smoothly and with an apparent fluidity that belies the pounding taken by machine and driver/co-driver. Only the most jaded can watch a rally car jump without at least an inward gasp.
Now drivers such as Ken Block and Travis Pastrana have taken jumps to the extreme, with Block setting the bar at 171 feet in November 2006. On New Year's Eve 2009, Pastrana jumped 269 feet from a Long Beach (California) pier onto a floating barge.
The Red Bull jump car was prepared to enable a smooth launch at approximately 90 miles per hour and to land safely and under control. All powertrain and chassis components were chosen to perform under such heavy abuse.
Versatile and Consistent
Subaru partners Phoenix Performance and Vermont SportsCar have turned one of the world's most exciting street machines into a road racer, rally champion, and spectacular jumper.
However, for as divergent as these applications may be, the WRX STIs have powerful consistencies. All three are solid in their base construction and durable in their applications – traits shared with all WRX STI models.

OKC Thunder's general manager is active member in community
• I think for any city, any community, any group of people, to have a segment of young students as a reservoir of energy, equipped with curiosity, is probably the most beneficial fuel that one can have.
• The Oklahoma standard is something that people have to experience and witness; it's not rhetoric. There's theory, and there's practice. Some people like to practice, and some just like the benefits of the performance. Oklahomans are practitioners. That mindset is very much the currency of the city in my opinion. It is at the core of so many things, past and present.
• We can look at a lot of different strengths of this city, whether it's energy, information technology, health service or the other industries that drive us forward on an economic basis. But in my short experience here, I believe the greatest attribute that exists in Oklahoma is that of the people and the civic pride that exists between them. Being around that sense of purpose and civic pride has been a tremendous experience for myself and the people I work with. It inspires your work and your perspective on your contribution.
• Thinking 20 years down the line is tough when you consider I have only been here for five. Though, if the next 20 are built on the same materials that I have come to know in the first five, I would have to think that the best is yet to come in Oklahoma City.

Modeled after the TLC show "Four Weddings," this competition series follows four homeowners who are invited to preview, critique and score one another's homes for the chance to win $10,000 and be featured in Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

Award recognizes design, innovation and quality among nation's premier builders
Fargo, N.D., July 11, 2012 – Integrity Windows and Doors is proud to recognize six businesses whose impressive construction projects have made them winners in the 2012 Integrity Red Diamond Achiever Program. The award recognizes outstanding design, innovation, sustainability and quality in projects by the nation's premier builders using Integrity products. For each submission, winners are nominated by the Integrity dealers and distributors who supplied Integrity windows and doors for the project.
"Red Diamond Achievers are absolute models of excellence," said Becky Felling, director of marketing for Integrity Windows and Doors. "We're happy to shine the spotlight on builders who reflect our values, operate responsibly, innovate constantly and deliver superior quality no matter the project."
Winners of the 2012 Integrity Red Diamond Achiever Program include:
Bensonwood Homes is a residential design-and-build company that creates high-performing wood homes fabricated off-site. For The Elizabeth Islands Project, located on an island off Cape Cod, architect Randall S. Walter designed a family retreat that offers energy efficiency, storm protection and a popular destination for extended family. The project used Integrity's Wood Ultrex Double Hung, Awning and Picture Windows, as well as Wood Ultrex French Doors. Bensonwood Homes was nominated by Windows and Doors by Brownell and A.W. Hastings.
Pinnacle Custom Builders focuses on green building, historic restoration and custom homebuilding. Robert Soens Jr., president of Pinnacle Custom Builders, oversaw the remodeling of The Rebel Valley Project, a contemporary home in Vinings, Ga., built in 1974. The project included the addition of a new building envelope with rain-screen siding, a completely remodeled kitchen, and window and door replacement throughout the home to improve energy efficiency. Integrity's All-Ultrex Casement, Awning and Custom Polygon Windows and an All-Ultrex Sliding Patio Door were used for this project. Pinnacle Custom Builders was nominated by Architectural Visions, Inc. and Super Enterprise.
Sellars Lathrop Architects specializes in residential renovations, additions and retrofits to meet modern living standards. To accommodate a growing family, owner and architect Ann Sellars Lathrop led the renovation of Bailey Residence, a 1950s Cape Cod in Westport, Conn. The roof was raised to create larger bedrooms and bathrooms, the kitchen and dining room were flipped to increase functionality through adjacency, a garage bay was converted to a mudroom/powder room/laundry area and a new front entry was improved with the addition of a front porch. The project features Wood Ultrex Casement, Awning and Picture Windows, along with Wood Ultrex Inswing French Doors. Sellars Lathrop Architects was nominated by Woodbury Supply and A.W. Hastings.
Imbue Design and Benchmark Modern specialize in custom, modern residential projects with emphasis on deliberate living, site-specific design and responsive, functional spaces. Matt Swindel of Imbue Design and Mark Haslam of Benchmark Modern teamed up to oversee construction of The Pasture Product, a single-story home in Holladay, Utah, that features an open floor plan, concrete floors, radiant heat and floor-to-ceiling windows. The project features Integrity Wood Ultrex windows and doors, along with a 36' x 11' Marvin Lift and Slide Door. Imbue Design and Benchmark Modern were nominated by All Purpose Windows.
Blue Sky Building Company builds retirement, vacation and second homes in the South Brunswick Island area of North Carolina. Builder Luke Perisich led the construction of The 40th Street Project, a Sunset Beach, N.C., vacation home and private residence intended to last for generations to come. That meant construction of a home built to withstand the region's most severe weather conditions. The project includes Integrity IMPACT Double Hung Windows and French Doors, which are rated to withstand hurricane-force winds. Blue Sky Building Company was nominated by Guy C. Lee Building Materials.
Integrity will provide each Red Diamond Achiever and a guest with an all-expense paid VIP trip to Warroad, Minn., for events including a roundtable discussion; a tour of the Marvin Windows and Doors factory; dinner with Susan Marvin, president of Marvin Windows and Doors; and several other activities.
Additionally, each winner will be featured on IntegrityWindows.com with photos and information from their award-winning project submission. Winners also will receive a beautiful glass award, 200 print copies of case study cards, direct mail postcards and electronic files, recognition through Integrity's social media outlets, and a $200 cash donation in the winner's name to a charity of the winner's choice.
"Good, honest business can weather nearly any storm," Felling said. "As a company with a rich tradition, we appreciate businesses like our Red Diamond Achievers who have selected Integrity products as part of their enduring commitment to quality and excellence. We couldn't be prouder knowing Integrity products have earned their trust."

"It's frightening how easily he came to me as a character," Julie Schumacher says of Jay Fitger.
Fitger is a beleaguered creative writing and literature professor whose correspondence makes up Schumacher's humorous new novel "Dear Committee Members."
Since Schumacher is a professor in the University of Minnesota Creative Writing Program and English department, it's not surprising her comic satire is set in academia. But you don't have to know anything about universities to be amused by Fitger's cranky asides and rants in letters to his former wife, his unhappy ex-lover, his editor, staff members and old friends at other colleges.
Schumacher, who also writes young adult fiction and short stories, got the idea for "Dear Committee Members" when she was talking to students about forms stories can take -- lists, letters, e-mail correspondence.
"I write so many letters of recommendation I thought, 'I could do that,' " she says.
Schumacher calculates that from August 2013 to January 2014 she received more than 1,600 Letters of Recommendation. She generates 50 to 100 LORs per year.
Early in the novel Fitger unleashes his frustration about Letters of Recommendation in a memo to his new department chair:
The LOR has become a rampant absurdity, usurping the place of the quick consultation and the two-minute phone call -- not to mention the teaching and research that faculty were supposedly hired to perform. I haven't published a novel in six years; instead, I fill my departmental hours casting words of praise into the bureaucratic abyss. On multiple occasions, serving on awards committees, I was actually required to write LORs to myself.
Fitger also solemnly warns his department chair that a faculty committee has been debating placement of a comma in a document for years, a process so contentious at least one professor had a nervous breakdown. He complains about remodeling in his building that forces him to work amidst wires, dust, dripping pipes and a bad smell from the lavatory. He's outraged that the pampered economics faculty has moved out until their palatial new digs are completed while his office's cracked window doesn't even open.
"Jay is not a just jerk," Schumacher says. "He's a champion of the arts but he doesn't know how to put a lid on it."
But by the middle of this short book Fitger becomes a more sympathetic character. He writes to everyone he knows asking for grants or employment for one of his students whose novel he is championing, and we learn of his own stalled writing career and his affection for friends who were with him at a writers' workshop when they were young and full of promise.
"I did want a sense of pathos," Schumacher says of the gradual shift in tone. "Jay cares deeply about trends in higher education and he's disillusioned with the emphasis on science and engineering. He sees humanities put on the chopping block."
She admits the book reflects some things she feels strongly about, including low wages paid to adjuncts, budget cuts for some departments, and the emphasis on amenities for students, such as climbing walls and yoga studios.
Schumacher grew up in the suburbs of Wilmington, Del., the youngest of five daughters. When her story collection "An Explanation for Chaos" was published she told the Pioneer Press she always felt the rest of her family was "more knowledgeable, sophisticated and talented." She joked that she got attention by becoming an "unabashed liar" when she was very young (a trait that's not unusual for a fiction writer).
A graduate of Oberlin College in Ohio with a master's from Cornell University, Schumacher moved to Minnesota in 1988 when her husband, Lawrence Jacobs, took a teaching job in the University of Minnesota's political science department.
Jacobs is Walter F. and Joan Mondale Chair for Political Studies and Director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the Hubert H. Humphrey School. He's also political analyst for WCCO-TV.
Schumacher admits with a laugh that when her husband first read "Dear Committee Members" he said, "I'm glad we have different last names."
At their St. Paul home, the couple has separate offices now that their daughters are grown. Emma, 26, is a graduate student in New York who will be married next summer. Isabella, 23, is considering going back to school.
Schumacher credits the books she read to her girls when they were small for helping her write critically acclaimed novels for young adults.
"I saw that children's books had a clear story line," she recalls. "I must have read 'Charlotte's Web' at least 10 times so I could teach myself plot and cause and effect."
When she began her first Y.A. novel, "Grass Angel," she looked at it as a fun experiment and that's the way she still approaches her work.
"When I think of it as an experiment the writing goes well and I enjoy it," she says. "When you are writing you have to create an environment for yourself where you don't think about whether it is 'good' or 'bad.' As soon as I think about what will happen after it's published, my writing stiffens up."
Which leads us to the old question of whether writing can be taught.
"I think this is an absurd discussion. I don't understand this fixation," Schumacher says. "It's like saying mathematics can't be taught. I took math through 12th grade. I know how to multiply, I have a basic understanding that helps me balance the checkbook and average my students' grades. But I don't have the kind of brain to go further with it. I took piano lessons but I have a terrible ear and can't read music. But taking math and piano lessons enriched my life. Even if someone has very limited ability in writing there are gains by trying it out -- for language, for story. People can learn up to their ability in any field and they are always better for it."

ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Prime Therapeutics (Prime), a thought leader in pharmacy benefit management, announced today the release of its Efficiency Program. The Efficiency Program provides a targeted approach to value-based pharmacy management and helps employers understand how to spend their limited health care dollars in ways that are most beneficial to the health of their employees. Prime will be presenting this new program at the Pharmacy Benefit Management Institute (PBMI) 2008 Drug Benefit Conference on February 28, 2008.
Prime's Efficiency Program was developed as a tool to help plan sponsors control health care costs while improving the health of their members. The program focuses on core therapeutic categories where evidence-based medicine demonstrates a proven positive health outcome. For each core therapeutic category, Prime uses predictive modeling logic and medical claims information to identify members at high risk for an adverse health event within a population. Pharmacy claims are then used to determine which members have been prescribed a drug therapy and which members have not. Prime's Efficiency Program combines both pieces of information to provide a metric that plan sponsors can use to gauge how efficiently they are spending their pharmacy benefit dollars.
Patrick Gleason, PharmD, Prime's Director of Clinical Outcome Assessment, indicates, "This approach focuses on overall health care including both medical and pharmacy care. This program will help plan sponsors answer the question: are we spending our pharmacy dollars effectively and where do we need to make improvements?"
Gleason will be presenting the Efficiency Program and will provide tangible examples of the value of integrating medical and pharmacy claims to improve pharmacy benefit performance at the 2008 PBMI Drug Benefit Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, on February 28, 2008.

"I love this. I think if I ordered again I would change below "NOPE" to "Post Photos". I didn't have meal choices so I changed it to a Song Request blank."
"I am having a cruise wedding so the traditional RSVP didnt work for me. Wedding paper divas went above and beyond to make the RSVP perfect! I had a lot of requests and the exceeded my expectations! Worth every penny!"
"They came out perfect. I had asked them if they could take the food part off and make the accepts and decline bigger and centered. They got back to me the next day and sent me a proof of it centered and bigger font. I loved it and I also got it within a week after proof reading it."
"This is the perfect companion piece to my wedding invitations. And I was able to forgo the sit down dinner options, as we have decided on a buffet for our reception. I will be back for seating and thanks you cards. This collection is really wonderful."
"These went great with our "we do" invitations in khaki. At first, we weren't sure about the "will you?" which can't be changed - but eventually, it grew on us. Similar to the invitations, we submitted a design request for a few tweaks which was completed quickly - and correct on the first round! Shipping was right on time! I did notice that the khaki colors were slightly off between the invitations and the rsvp cards, but it was not too noticeable."

As Mark said yesterday, sometimes the view ain't so bad. After a long week at work, all I wanted to do on my Friday night (which is Monday night on the calendar, but welcome to retail!) was go fishing. I opted for nearby Davis Pond, a body of water that I maintain has it out for me. Last time I was out there a 20-inch football of a rainbow calmly sat less than a rod length from my feet, flipping me the fish equivalent of the bird and probably commenting snidely about my casting abilities. Last night marked the third time in a row I haven't pulled any fish out of that damn pond.
Just as my frustration was reaching boiling point, the sun started to go down amongst the storm clouds that had hung around all day. The resulting light washed all my frustrations away and left me feeling a whole lot better.

It was Christmastime fireworks for Katy Perry and Russell Brand this year -- but not the good kind!
After planning to whisk her family via private jet to husband Brand's London hometown for the holidays, Perry, 27, changed course, opting to fly to Hawaii with friends.
"They had a massive fight," an insider tells Us Weekly. "She was like, 'F--k you. I'm going to do my own thing.' Russell replied, 'Fine, f--k you too.'"
Which explains why, come Dec. 25, the multi-platinum singer was snapped splashing in the Pacific Ocean off Kauai -- sans wedding ring. Meanwhile, British comic Brand, 36,...

Give at-risk kids the chance to heal shelter dogs.
- Where
- Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
- When
- December 31, 2013
Since 2011 The Underdog Project has been bringing troubled South African teenagers and untrained shelter dogs together for a dual purpose: to engage and empower at-risk teenagers, and to increase the adoption rate of shelter dogs.
Teens train and heal the dogs, and dogs train and heal the teens. It's an almost perfect formula for helping South African kids overcome some of life's most difficult challenges.
But there's one problem: The Underdog Project might not be around next year if we don't help them raise funds to employ a full time social worker/Underdog Superhero. They're crowdfunding their future - and you can help them reach their milestones.
So give at-risk kids the chance to continue their animal assisted therapy with shelter dogs and back the Underdog campaign here:

My mother most beautiful woman in the world: Amitabh Bachchan
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who has been a huge inspiration for many, says his parents were his "greatest inspiration" and that he feels his mother was "the most beautiful woman".
"For me. inspiration comes from different fields. When it comes to my work, I look up to Dilip Kumar, Waheeda Rehman and many from the west," Amitabh said after launching film journalist Priyanka Sinha Jha's first book "Supertraits of Superstars".
"In my life, my father and my mother have been my greatest inspiration. I feel my mother is the most beautiful woman in the world. I feel fortunate to be born to them," he added.
Amitabh lost his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan in 2003 and his mother Teji Bachchan died in 2007.
The 71-year-old regularly writes his blog and shares his thoughts and views with his extended family.
Asked would he write an autobiography, he said: "No. If people want to perceive the craft then they are free to do so and I respect that, but I feel hesitant to do something like that."
