A chilly opener for Tigers and Twins
MINNEAPOLIS -- Batter up? More like bundle up.
The Detroit Tigers open the season on Monday in frosty Minnesota, where forecasts call for temperature in the low 30s at game time at outdoor Target Field. The wind chill is expected to be around 20 degrees. So the Tigers will need all the heat they can get from Justin Verlander's 100 mph fastballs.
"It's going to be cold but I've pitched in that kind of weather before," Verlander said. "I don't think about it. It's always cold in Detroit on opening day."
But this cold? If the forecast holds true, it has the potential to be the coldest opening day on record in Minnesota, dating to 1961. The coldest was 33 degrees in 1963. There was plenty of debate when the Twins were designing a new stadium about building one with a roof to shield them from the elements. The first three seasons in Target Field have been mostly beautiful, with few rainouts and generally warm weather once the season began.
Major League Baseball put the Twins on the road to start each of the first three seasons at Target Field, a seven-game trip in 2010, a six-game trip in 2011 and a three-gamer last year. Maybe after seeing all the warm weather the last few years, MLB's schedule makers decide to tempt fate because this is the first time the Twins will open the season at home.
"No one likes playing in the cold," Twins second baseman Brian Dozier said. "But at the same time, we're going to be playing opening day in a Major League Baseball game. Isn't that enough?"
Verlander will get the ball for the Tigers against Vance Worley, who came to the Twins in a trade with Philadelphia this offseason. Verlander certainly will have the money to buy himself a nice warm coat for the trip. He agreed to a $180 million, seven-year deal with the Tigers on Friday, the richest given to a pitcher.
"I think it is a great situation for him," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "It's good for him, it's good for the organization, and it's good for the fans."
As crazy as it sounds, the guy who is widely considered the best pitcher in the American League might be entering this season with redemption on his mind. After winning the 2011 AL MVP and AL Cy Young Award following a stellar regular season that has become almost typical, Verlander gave up five runs in four innings of his only start in the World Series, a Game 1 loss to the San Francisco Giants. The flat performance from their ace seemed to stun the Tigers, who fell to the Giants in a sweep.
Detroit added veteran outfielder, and former Twins fan favorite, Torii Hunter in the offseason to add even more punch to an offense that already is loaded with Prince Fielder, Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez, who returns after spending last season on the disabled list. The expectations are there once again for another deep run.
"We are going to hit, don't get me wrong," Leyland said. "This team is going to hit. When you have speed at the top of the lineup then guys like Hunter, Cabrera, Prince, Martinez, these guys are going to score runs. I like our pitching and I am satisfied with everything we have going for us."
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire wishes he could say the same. The Twins have lost more than 90 games in each of the past two seasons, with fans growing impatient about a perceived lack of investment from ownership while they play in their revenue-generating new ballpark. They have been searching for an ace for years, and there doesn't appear to be one ready to help them anytime soon.
Worley is getting the start almost by default. He was 0-1 with a 5.73 ERA in six spring training appearances, but Scott Diamond and Samuel Deduno aren't healthy enough to start the season with the big club and the rest of the rotation was underwhelming this spring as well.
"We hope to get back to where we were a couple of years ago, winning the division," All Star catcher Joe Mauer said. "We're looking forward to it."

Good day everyone! Hope you're having a great weekend. :) I'm having fun as usual with WordPress.
I'm working on a personal plugin for voting posts up or down. I'm disallowing visitors to vote more than once by storing their IP addresses. I created 2 new tables in my WordPress database.
The first one stores IPs
id (primary auto-increment)
post_id (id of voted post)
vote_ip (the voters IP address)
And the second table shows how many votes each post has.
id (primary auto-increment)
Instead of making the POST_VOTES table I could have just added "up", and "down" rows in the default wp Post table but I want to keep the votes separate.
When I publish a new article in wp, is there a way to add it's post id into the post_votes table? I'm trying to figure out if I can add a function to the plugin file for this rather than editing any core files. This is way beyond me, I would really appreciate some help!

ECB's Asmussen Joins IMF in Warning Greece May Need More Aid
European Central Bank Executive Board member Joerg Asmussen said Greece may need more aid, joining the International Monetary Fund in expressing doubt that the two existing bailouts will suffice.
Even if Greece meets its budget goals, "there could be additional need for external financing because, for example, growth is worse than was initially anticipated," Asmussen said at an event in Berlin yesterday. Such financial aid can only come "from the member states of the euro zone," he said, ruling out ECB involvement because that would be "prohibited monetary state financing."
The comments mean two thirds of the so-called troika that's inspecting Greece's financial position have now publicly spoken about the possible need for an additional bailout. IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said on Sept. 24 Greece faces a financing gap that won't be solved by budget measures because a weak economy and delayed privatizations have worsened its fiscal situation.
"This is the first time that an ECB official is talking about more aid for Greece in such an explicit way," said Jacques Cailloux, chief European economist at Nomura International Plc in London. "It can be interpreted either as a possible aid package or another" debt writedown, he said.
International lenders have so far pledged funds totaling 240 billion euros ($309 billion) to Greece, which also had 100 billion euros written off its debt by private-sector investors this year in the biggest restructuring in history.
Troika Returns
Inspectors from the troika, which comprises the European Commission, the IMF and the ECB, will return to Athens on Sept. 30 to continue to assess whether Greece is meeting the terms of its bailout and can receive the next installment.
In a March report on Greece, IMF economists said the country may need more aid from Europe or further debt restructuring if the current loan program went off track.
Lagarde has said the IMF will not lend Greece any more money and the ECB has rejected participating in a debt restructuring. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has also ruled out further aid, saying the last bailout stretched international creditors to their limits.
Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has struggled to broker an agreement with the troika and his coalition partners on a package that will include more than 7 billion euros of cuts to wages, pensions and benefits in a country battling a fifth year of recession and with nearly a quarter of the workforce unemployed.
The two-year budget-cut package, worth 13.5 billion euros overall, is key to Greece receiving the next tranche of the existing bailout. Greece's budget deficit is due to shrink to about 7 percent of GDP this year from 9.1 percent in 2011.
"There is a budgetary gap in Greece which needs to be closed," Asmussen said. "The Greek government has to deliver."

Verdant Landscape Architects has enjoyed profits for many years, but new competition has cut service revenue by as much as 30%. As a result, the company wants to better understand its costs. It decides to prepare an activity-based cost analysis, including an estimate of the average cost of both general landscaping services and custom design landscaping services. The company's three cost centers and their cost drivers follow.
The two main landscaping units and their related data follow. Square
1. Compute the cost per cost driver for each of the three cost centers.
2. Use the results from part 1 to allocate costs from each of the three cost centers to both the general landscaping and the custom design landscaping units. Compute total cost and average cost per customer for both the general landscaping and the custom design landscaping units.
Analysis Component
3. Without providing computations, would the average cost of general landscaping be higher or lower if all center costs were allocated based on the number of customers? Explain.

Repaint in Soothing Colors
Tuscan yellow may be the perfect hue to brighten a dark entryway, but it's not ideal for a restful night's sleep. A better choice? A calming shade in a cool-color family like blue, green, or purple. To prevent that fresh-paint scent from keeping you alert, choose a low- or zero-VOC paint, such as Benjamin Moore's Natura or Sherwin-Williams's Harmony.

A:CtS Cyberpunk AU by TysheaWatch
©2013-2016 Tyshea
Lately I've been really obsessed with Future Fashion (aka Post-Apoc or Cyberpunk or Neo Punk..honestly it doesn't have a set name, so it must be a pretty new trend I guess haha) and I introduced it to my friend for a character of his. He ended up doing such a great job that I felt the itch to draw some myself LOL
And because Kye's face-inspiration is a model for a lot of future fashion, I had the idea to put my two latest kicks together and this happened.
If we re-imagined CtS as a cyberpunk story instead of a fan-story, it'd honestly be about the same, which is surprising but cool.
A couple of illegal traders get involved with the underground world of human trafficking and piss off a black market tycoon and her small army of assassins. In the midst of the chaos, a love affair blossoms and shit hits the fan.
Haha, enjoy this little AU!
Also on Tumblr
Love it!
Cyberpunk AU? ... I love it! Oh man! I loved your illustrations of all these characters before and to see the way you've evolved them for cyberpunk is truly epic!
Haha it ended up sticking so much that it's the official world for them!
So happy you recognize them and like them more in this universe!

Love these designs!
Just found your stuff. Completely amazing!!
Awesome!!! I'm into this style too XD I'm hoping to make my characters wear cool clothes like this.
Wow! How futuristic! I love styles like this.
This is really well done. Not just the clothes, but the characters as well. It was a wild ride to back through your art and see how these characters blossomed forth from an Avatar: The Last Airbender fan story into something new and exciting. It was truly beautiful, and inspirational as well. Makes me think about how my own characters would take a transition like that. Anyway, I'm kind of in a post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk story/art binge, so this really hit it home for me. I'm just dying to know what more comes of it. Please keep at it!
Hey thanks a lot! It's pretty crazy to know where these guys came from haha! But I'm really proud of their development.
Hopefully we'll have some more stuff out for this world soonish, been busy with work but I'm itching to jump back on this project!

I know the feeling. Wanting to work on something but not being able to because you're too busy...it really sucks the life out of things. But I'm glad you're so enthusiastic about it. I'll keep my eye out for you're work whenever you can get around to it!
I love your quirky fashion stuff. Fantastic. You have a new fan.
wow ! they all look smashing
my personal favorites are always have to be Rilu and Kye X3 i just cant stop looking at them alot Ataka looks pretty cool tho !
and Sika is adorable Shii is quite big and handsome X3

Techno-pagan I believe it's called xD It's all good in my books. I love these clothes, and I don't have enough of them in my life.
Hmm, I've never heard techno-pagan used in fashion
Thank you though!
Thank you though!
It was dubbed that somewhere on this site, and since they deal heavily in that clothing style - and always have... I figured they must know what they were talking about xD.

you got an awesome style! i like this!
I'm so into this!
awesome look
oooo! The green haired one is my favourite! Awesome design!
Their style is still so awesome \o/ *fangirl squeal* ~
Can I please steal the 5th person's top/dress? it looks incredible.
Damn this is wonderful.
Like, EVERYONE looks absolutely amazing in these fashionable outfits I just whoa. 8||||
Admittedly, Kye is actually drivin me wild right now, her outfit is hands down my favorite of the bunch.
THANK YOU, I'm really torn on whether or not I want to make this the real setting because THIS FASHION STYLE IS SO COOL CAIT HELP ME
Awesome style ! Cyberpunk's the shit !!!!
This is excellent. 8D I really dig the threads! The style and colors definitely give off that post-apocalyptic feel. Awesome character designs, as well!
these looks seem pretty legit UwU~
What. What. What. WHAT?! Why do you do this to me. I want this. I'm still all excited about PT and now I want this, and I want a full comic adventure of the original CtS... it's like... it's like torture. Pure art torture.
Since I like very much this work, I want to tell you a very honest opinion about what i think about your latest character sheets.
I like a lot how you drew them because they're clearly different and very incisive. (but, you're very good at creating character that have personality and aren't generic)
The down side is (to me) the flashing colours of hair and makeup that some of your characters have. They steal attention from the whole character.
Thank you so much! I'm really happy that you like my characters
I'll take that into consideration if I ever revisit this picture or project, I appreciate it!
I love the way you draw different body types in this image series! They're all so solid, dimensional and appealing!

Any production with Nicki Hunter, Audrey Hollander, Brooke Haven and other babes as soccer moms parading around in skintight latex is definitely worth a peek. Too bad then that what we first see is three generic b/g couplings.
Scene four, however, starring a very loud, energetic Haven getting slit stuffed by Brad Baldwin, sizzles the eyeballs, while the closer with Hunter and Chelsea Zinn getting butt banged by Van Damage scalds 'em. Matter of fact, the site of the statuesque Hunter decked out in serious black fetish wear is wankable all by itself. All the better then, that that's her second such scene of the disc.

Spoonwood Pond is located in Nelson, New Hampshire. The isolated body of water is inaccessible by car, and motorboats are prohibited. The pond covers 167 acres and is part of the headwaters for a series of rivers, ponds, streams and Nubanusit Lake. The pond is managed by the Harris Center for Conservation Education, which oversees its minimal campsites.
Camp Sites
To camp at Spoonwood Pond, all campers must be registered by a member of the Harris Center (harriscenter.org) or be a member of the center at the sponsor level. Camping is primitive with no facilities available and no car access, so sites are accessible only by hiking. Campers can park on Story Road, which dead ends after a short walk through the woods to the pond. Campers should plan to bring all supplies due to the remote nature of the area.
Boating and Fishing on the Pond
Spoonwood Pond is also accessible by boat and popular with anglers. Boaters with non-motorized vessels can place their boats in the water at Nubanusit Lake. A short portage across a land bridge between the lake and pond provides access. Nubanusit Lake is developed, but Spoonwood Pond is not. Fish found in Spoonwood pond include the brown bullhead, yellow perch, white perch, smallmouth bass, pickerel, brook trout, lake trout and rainbow trout. While boating or hiking around the pond, visitors can expect to see wildlife including deer, bear, bobcats and bald eagles.
Shopping for Supplies
Nelson, New Hampshire, has limited shopping opportunities. Harrisville General Store (harrisvillegeneralstore.com), 4.4 miles away, offers the closest option for stocking up on supplies for your camping trip. The store sells groceries, local foods and general merchandise. Another shopping spot is Mill Village Country Store (millvillagestoddard.com) in Stoddard, about 13 miles from Spoonwood Pond. The store sells grocery items, ice and propane and its deli offers hand-cut meats.
Alternative Campgrounds
The closest campground to the one at Spoonwood Pond is Seven Maples Campground (sevenmaples.com) at 13.6 miles away in Hancock. The campground is located on 54 acres of historic farmland. Amenities include a camp store, a dump station, a playground, basketball, a recreation hall, a heated swimming pool, wireless Internet access and a private pond stocked with rainbow trout. Another camping option, at 22.4 miles from Spoonwood Pond is Ashuelot River Campground (ashuelotrivercampground.com) in Swanzey. The campground includes sites with water, electric and sewer hookups for RVs. Riverside tent sites are also available, along with rustic cabins. Campers have access to fire rings, hiking trails, a playground, bocce ball, horseshoe pits, ping pong and more than 3,000 feet of river frontage to enjoy.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- The former rock band tour manager whose pyrotechnics started a fire that killed 100 people five years ago will soon be a free man.
Daniel Biechele is scheduled to be released from prison Wednesday after serving less than half of his four-year sentence. He is expected to return to his home state of Florida to serve out the remainder on parole.
Biechele was the tour manager for the band Great White when he set off pyrotechnics inside The Station nightclub on Feb. 20, 2003. Sparks from the pyrotechnics ignited flammable soundproofing foam on the club's walls and ceiling.
Biechele pleaded guilty to 100 counts of involuntary manslaughter.

Ex-Warren superintendent was 'less comfortable' with board decisions
The Warren Board of Education unanimously accepted Bruce Thomas' resignation this afternoon and appointed an interim leader.
Thomas informed the board of his resignation in an email Sunday night.
"While I would have liked to have continued moving the district forward academically, as I promised when I was hired last June, I have become increasingly less comfortable with the decisions the board has been making," Thomas wrote in the email.
Board President Regina Patterson said the board was surprised by Thomas' resignation and that he had not communicated any discomfort with board decisions to members.
Loree Richardson is the interim superintendent; she had been an associate superintendent — and had served as interim during the search that led to Thomas.
Read more in Friday's Vindicator.
Sure go ahead and blame it on the board. I'll bet the only decisions your uncomfortable with is the one where they fired your girlfriend from her newly created position, and the one where they wouldn't let you double dip. So go ahead and find a new district that will allow nepotism and double dipping. Kudos to Warren BOE for not allowing this status quo crap thats killing our schools to continue.

Exciton swapping in a twisted graphene bilayer as a solid-state realization of a two-brane model

It is shown that exciton swapping between two graphene sheets may occur under specific conditions. A magnetically tunable optical filter is described to demonstrate this new effect. Mathematically, it is shown that two turbostratic graphene layers can be described as a "noncommutative" two-sheeted (2 + 1)-spacetime thanks to a formalism previously introduced for the study of braneworlds in high energy physics. The Hamiltonian of the model contains a coupling term connecting the two layers which is similar to the coupling existing between two braneworlds at a quantum level. In the present case, this term is related to a K-K ′ intervalley coupling. In addition, the experimental observation of this effect could be a way to assess the relevance of some theoretical concepts of the braneworld hypothesis.

Everything works fine on mine. Go to menu, settings, location & security and make sure you have Google location services, Standalone GPS services...

I want to say I agree with most, but the iPhone isn't boring. If it is, all phones are boring. We're talking about an inanimate object here :)...

By nature, Motorola uses a battery monitoring system that measures in increments of 10% instead of 1%. Can anyone recommend an app in the market...
I would hope you're smart enough to know you can return it. But I would hate to disappoint myself.

Peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage caused by chronically high blood sugar and diabetes. It leads to numbness, loss of sensation, and sometimes pain in your feet, legs, or hands. It is the most common complication of diabetes.
About 60% to 70% of all people with diabetes will eventually develop peripheral neuropathy, although not all suffer pain. Yet this nerve damage is not inevitable. Studies have shown that people with diabetes can reduce their risk of developing nerve damage by keeping their blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible.
What causes peripheral neuropathy? Chronically high blood sugar levels damage nerves not only in your extremities but also in other parts of your body. These damaged nerves cannot effectively carry messages between the brain and other parts of the body.
This means you may not feel heat, cold, or pain in your feet, legs, or hands. If you get a , you may not know it, which is why it's so important to inspect your feet daily. If a shoe doesn't fit properly, you could even develop a foot ulcer and not know it.
The consequences can be life-threatening. An infection that won't heal because of poor blood flow causes risk for developing ulcers and can lead to amputation, even death.
This nerve damage shows itself differently in each person. Some people feel tingling, then later feel pain. Other people lose the feeling in fingers and toes; they have numbness. These changes happen slowly over a period of years, so you might not even notice it.
Because the changes are subtle and happen as people get older, people tend to ignore the signs of nerve damage, thinking it's just part of getting older.
But there are that can help slow the progression of this condition and limit the damage. Talk to your doctors about what your options are, and don't ignore the signs because with time, it can get worse.
Symptoms of Nerve Damage From Diabetes
Numbness is the most common, troubling symptom of nerve damage due to diabetes. The loss of sensation is a special concern. People who lose sensation are the ones most likely to get ulcers on their feet and to end up needing amputations.

Michelle orders women close to her husband to be watched in case he cheats on her
The First Lady has so little trust in Barack Obama that she turns up unannounced during the day to see what he is doing.
She also objected to husbands close relationship to U.S. chat show queen Oprah Winfrey - shunned her because she hates fat people.
Michelle makes it clear to her inner circle...that she wants women around Barack watched, wants info about who he has an eye for and gets touchy with.
Relations between Miss Winfrey and Mrs Obama took a nosedive over the chat show hosts close relationship with Mr Obama.
In the weeks after the 2008 U.S. election victory Mr Obama gave Miss Winfreys advice priority over Michelles
When she (Winfrey) phoned, he dropped everything and took her call. They huddled over strategy. Of all of Obamas unofficial White House advisers, Oprah had unparalleled access, input, influence, and power.
Mr Klein quotes a White House insider who says that Mrs Obama was furious about her husbands late night phone calls to Miss Winfrey and that he should be turning to her for advice instead.
Another sticking point was that Mrs Obama thought that Miss Winfrey had urged Hillary Clinton to run in the election against her husband.
The explosive claims are likely to feed the image of Mrs Obama as an angry black woman, a label she herself dismissed earlier this year.
They could also reopen questions about the Obama's marriage of 20 years as in the past they reportedly rowed a lot and came close to splitting up.
Mrs Obamas obsessive behaviour is the talk of the White House.
Michelle insists on knowing his every movement and drops in on him at all kinds of odd times.

Women? Damage control!
So the Moose hates fat people.Just add them to the other groups she hates.
For a variety of reasons, I think she's being smart.
So who's surprised by any of this?
Lifelong assistance from affirmative action makes the Mooch insecure, jealous, and defensive.
...that she wants women around Barack watched, wants info about who he has an eye for and gets touchy with.*****
Bravo Sierra
If I had to wake up to a woman every morning who has to shave her back hair, I'd cheat too.
Michelle orders women close to her husband to be watched in case he cheats on her
why ,they're all gay
I don't get it, why is Mickey afraid of women? She should be afraid of the men BHO is around.
Personally, I don't think Mooch has to worry too much about him cheating with another woman, so much as another man.
Is Michelle paranoid or is Obama another a Bill Clinton????
Yeah, right.
This is just PR to kill the story about Barack being "The first Gay President"
...before anyone digs too deep.
Sounds like a further "bearding" effort to me. All smoke and mirrors to deflect attention away from his homo nature.
This is just PR release from the White House in an effort to convince the clueless that Barack isn't as queer as middle-eastern bumboat load of homosexual muslims.
Turns out it was written by a former editor-in-chief of the New York Times magazine. LOL A bonafide mouthpiece of the 0zer0 campagin.
Just a continuation of "Obama isn't Gay Week".
What about the ones that keep touching their noses and walk with a wide gate?
Afterall, 0 will probably get lots of offers now.
Nah: Not smart.
If she were smart she would be watching the men around Obama.
Got flamed on this site for predicting the "Jealous Michelle" PR Gambit over two weeks ago!
Gay? Nosirree Bob! Barry is a STUD ... eye for the ladies ...doncha know ...Babe Magnet ... Coming to a tabloid near you soon ... the guy is a tiger with the ladies ... Michelle has her hands full with this big boy!
This is just talk manipulated to make it seem like obama likes women
Oprah has the money to keep Zero living his current life style and "wide Load" does not. Wide Load fears being just a has been on the celebrity circuit after November.
Misdirection, or getting out in front of a breaking story?
This story is a contrived meme to perpetuate the notion that little Barry is straight. It is simply political diversion.
Sure, like Michelle has to worry about women. She would like for us to believe that, but BarryO likes the boys, a little rough, with a lot of blow.
Not as much as she hates white people.
"she hates fat people"
Umm...Mo, have you looked at the mirror behind you?
If Michelle had to haul ass, she'd have to make two trips!
who knew that wookies could be jealous.
She's one of those broads where you look at her and think "I'll bet nobody ever even thought of F***in' that, I'll bet no-one's even talked to it."
The White House will turn the Michelle stories to her 'expectant motherhood' soon...
"Wee wee up" Obama! It's the only thing that will win the election!
What about the men?
"Michelle orders women close to her husband to be watched in case he cheats on her "
The women? The women? How many sasquatch creatures roam the WH?
Actually she would watch the men.
Ssshh. He's not gay. He's not a muslim, either. So he's not a gay muslim. Y'all got that? Oh, and he's not a communist in any way shape or form. Inshallah.
Stoners might. Obama doesn't look like he's really all there.
Factor in drug use and who knows? Anyway, that's a lot to pin on one picture.
She might hate Oprah but I doubt it's because she hates fat people. That reads like something the papers made up based on her public image.
If MFO does hate Oprah, it's probably because she felt slighted in some way -- jealousy or resentment, rather than just hatred of fat people.
I think she hates anybody who might be a threat to her domination of the gay one. It's not a sex thing, it's a power thing. She probably does worry about the embarrassment and humiliation she would suffer if Berry got caught having sexual relations with another homo.

Recently it was announced that Pope Benedict's new Twitter handle is @pontifex.
Why did he pick this name, and what does it mean, anyway?
The word's origin is more surprising than you might think!
Other Possible Names
Pope Benedict might have picked other names. Some plausible ones include:
- @pope
- @popebenedict
- @popebenedictxvi
- @benedictxvi
- @popebenedict16
Why didn't he pick any of these?
I would suggest two reasons.
Some May Already Be Taken
People have already been using some of the plausible papal Twitter handles, and Twitter does not easily reassign such names.
That's why my own Twitter handle is @JimmyAkin3000 (Click here to follow me)....READ MORE

The main objective of this subject is to learn about Market Segmentation, Brand, and Positioning and its importance in international marketing:
Sample of the subject - Segmentation, Brand, and Positioning:
Subject description (Segmentation, Brand, and Positioning):
Without doubt it would be ideal for a export enterprise to offer a tailored (or adapted) product or service to each of its clients (importers). As this is impossible, the exporter need develop products or services adapted for different segments of the market.
International market segmentation is the basis of other international marketing plan.

Positioning is the process of designing a offer and image of the enterprise so that it occupies a distinct and valued place in the mind of the consumer.

Positioning a product or service consists gaining a benign meaning in the mind of the customer as to where the product or service sits in the market segment to which it belongs. This may be achieved by the own attributes of the product (or the service) or through the international promotion policy.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Leave it to Next Media Animation, the Taiwanese studio last seen on Robot 6 explaining the history of the danger-fraught Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, to view the trailer for The Dark Knight Rises through a fractured prism that makes Grant Morrison's wildest of storylines seem humdrum by comparison. Judging from this video, the conclusion of Christopher Nolan's movie trilogy has something to do with the bankruptcy of Wayne Enterprises, rising food prices at Wal-Mart, a lovesick Batman, and the return of Halle Berry as a whip-cracking Catwoman.
(via io9.com)
If they made this, I would be the first in line.
Uhm…Looks like there are some obvious jokes/references to Nolan's previous work, including: Memento (0:34 – 0:44) and Inception (0:52 – 1:01)

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Grief: Helping Children Understand
Topic Overview
Emotional development
Consider your child's age and emotional development so that you can explain loss and death in a way that he or she will understand.
- Children younger than 2 years of age cannot express in words what is going on in their lives. You can reassure the child by holding and cuddling him or her. Stroking the child while softly talking, singing, or humming can be very soothing. Smile often, and approach the child at his or her eye level.
- Children between 2 and 3 years of age are just learning to use words to express themselves. Talk with your child using some of the same words he or she uses. Speak clearly, but be brief when you explain a loss to your child. Give your child a choice whenever possible. For example, you can say, "Mommy and Daddy need to go to the hospital to see Grandpa. You are going to Aunt Jane's. Do you want to put some toys in this bag to take with you?"
- Children between 3 and 6 years of age often believe that their thoughts and wishes cause things to happen. You can reassure your child that he or she did not cause the "bad" thing to happen. You can say, "Joey fell from the tree and hit his head. I know you were there and you might think you made it happen because you were angry with Joey. It's okay to be angry with someone. Your anger didn't cause Joey to fall."
- Children between 6 and 10 years of age don't always fully understand events that occur in their lives. They may understand only part of what is going on around them. They may invent conclusions or draw the wrong conclusions about things they don't understand, resulting in misconceptions about what is happening. They may develop fears, such as fear of death.
- Children between 10 and 12 years of age are able to understand loss the way adults do. They see death as permanent and irreversible. They often want to be included in all activities as though they were adults. Include your child in the activities related to the loss, such as choosing a house when you are moving.

"It's All About You" Cancer Survivorship Series Part 5: Looking Your Best
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on December 07, 2012 @ 9:33PM
Created on December 07, 2012 @ 6:41PM
Friday was the last day of the Cancer Survivorship Series at UHC. Throughout the week we've been there to hear them talk about eating right, managing stress, movement, and the importance of communication.
Friday's session was called "Looking Your Best for the Holidays". A licensed Cosmetologist from The American Cancer Society's Look Good Feel Better Program talked to cancer patients and survivors about how taking care of the outside can help you on the inside. Treatments for cancer can cause people to lose their hair, eye lashes, and eyebrows. So Kim Murphy spoke to them about how to to wear a wig or a turban when the hair is lost. She also told them what kinds of make-up can cover up signs of being tired and what colors look the best on different skin tones. Kim stressed that make-up doesn't put a mask on or hide the person you truly are, it just compliments and enhances your natural beauty.
"I think it's important for them that sometimes when you feel run down if you get up and you do a few things to help pick yourself up. Then you feel better and it makes you feel comfortable going through the treatments and the positive attitude helps you to heal more," Kim Murphy.
Any patient who is undergoing cancer treatment could attend the sessions and even those who have beat the disease but still want some advice on how to stay on their feet. Through-out the week the nursing staff along with volunteer speakers have been helping any way they can. Patients told me they're so grateful that the cancer center does this. One man even said he loves the environment because he doesn't feel like he's going to the doctors. He said everyone is just so nice and welcoming.

Cablevision Sues Verizon Over Internet-Speed Advertisements
Cablevision Systems Corp., the fifth-largest U.S. cable-television provider by subscribers, sued Verizon Communications Inc. for allegedly running an advertising campaign that misrepresents Cablevision's Internet speeds.
The TV, radio, direct-mail and Internet spots claim that a "just released" Federal Communications Commission study shows Cablevision delivers at most 59 percent of its advertised speeds during peak hours, according to the complaint filed today in federal court in Brooklyn, New York.
"The FCC report cited in Verizon's ads reported the results of speed tests performed in March 2011," Bethpage, New York-based Cablevision said in its complaint. "Cablevision has made significant upgrades to its broadband network in 2011 that render the March 2011 results obsolete."
The FCC issued a public announcement that Cablevision's results in the August report on the March tests are outdated, Cablevision said. Cablevision is asking the court to force Verizon to pull the ads and to award unspecified damages.
Verizon's ads are based on the FCC's months-long study of Internet speeds released in August, said Bill Kula, a spokesman for the New York-based company.
"In terms of the accuracy of its advertising, Cablevision was the worst," Kula said in an e-mailed statement. "Verizon will defend Cablevision's lawsuit vigorously to ensure that consumers continue to receive truthful information about Cablevision's misleading Internet speed claims."
Verizon is the second-biggest U.S. phone company. The case was assigned to a judge in Central Islip, New York.
The case is Cablevision Systems Corp. v. Verizon Communications Inc., 11-cv-5934, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York (Central Islip).

Your doctor can help you decide what to do. He or she will ask questions, do a physical exam, and talk to you about possible causes.
It can be hard or embarrassing to talk to your doctor about this. Sometimes it helps to write out what you want to say before you go. For example, you could say something like, "For the past few months, I haven't enjoyed sex as much as I used to." Or you could say, "Ever since I started taking that medicine, I haven't felt like having sex."
Treatment for a sexual problem depends on the cause. It may include treating a health problem, learning how to talk openly with your partner, and learning about things you can do at home. For example, you might take a warm bath to relax, have plenty of foreplay before sex, or try different positions during sex.
It's important to feel comfortable talking with your doctor. The more you can tell your doctor, the more he or she will be able to help you.
