Carolina on King to host USC's first lady for book signing on Nov. 11
By Ashley Canady Slane, Carolina on King, email@example.com, 843-958-2734
Patricia Moore-Pastides, first lady of the University of South Carolina and author of "Greek Revival: Cooking for Life," will be Carolina on King's special guest for "2nd Sunday on King" Nov. 11. She will speak with guests, offer samples from her recipes and sign books from 1-3 p.m.
Book sales benefit the USC Health and Sustainability Fund.
Moore-Pastides holds a master of public health degree from Yale University and espouses the benefits of the Mediterranean lifestyle in her book, supported by summaries of current scientific research. Throughout the book she shares lively stories of her days living in Greece and Cyprus that exemplify the enduring charm of an Old World lifestyle. Always mindful of time, health and budget, she makes wonderful use of natural, minimally processed ingredients readily found in most neighborhood supermarkets, with 87 recipes designed for the needs and appetites of everyday cooks.
"Greek Revival: Cooking for Life" showcases a pantheon of healthy recipes, accompanied by beautiful color illustrations, helpful preparation techniques and tips for making the most of familiar ingredients, from colorful fresh fruits and vegetables to whole grains, beans and seafood.

Dear Member:
Families of September 11 has been consulting with Dr. Yuval Neria of Columbia University and New York State Psychiatric Institute on a five-year, web-based, national study also sponsored by the National Center for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder on the effects of public trauma and grief as it relates to the events of September 11, 2001.
It is hoped that this study will enable researchers and mental health professionals understand how best to respond to the needs of people who have lost a family member, close friend or colleague as a result of the September 11th attacks.
We anticipate that the results of this survey will promote a critical change in attitudes and responses to traumatic grief.
This dedicated team has worked hard, collaborating with members of our Board of Directors, to make the questions as straightforward and sensitive to our circumstances as possible. Our members constitute a vital resource. It is extremely important that each of you commits time and emotional energy needed to complete this important research.
The first survey will be activated during the six-week period between May 13 and June 30, 2004. The survey will use state-of-the-art encryption technology to ensure confidentiality. Once you register to respond to the questions, you will have a seven day period to complete the survey. For example, if you log in to participate in the survey on May 15th, you must finish registering your responses by May 22nd. Note that it will take you approximately 45 minutes to complete the survey.
There will be follow-up surveys in the next four years to complete this in-depth longitudinal study of traumatic grief. FOS11 will continue to update our members about the study.
We owe it to those who come after us into this difficult place of grief to participate in this service to promote a better understanding of the relationships between trauma and grief.
Your feedback and suggestions regarding the survey are welcome and important to the study. If you have questions about the study or the survey, please contact Dr. Yuval Neria at the New York State Psychiatric Institute at 212-543-5367 or by email at email@example.com.
To learn more and log on to complete the survey, please click here: http://www.9-11survey.org.
Thank you for your time and consideration. For general information about FOS11, you can contact us at 212-575-1878 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Take care,
Nikki Stern, Executive Director

Toledo Fair Housing Center
Welcome to our Web Site
Housing is one of the keys to equality, and equality is one of the keys to housing. It works both ways. Housing, free of discrimination, is both a right and an opportunity. It is a right protected by state and federal laws. Some of these laws were enacted more than 120 years ago.
Housing, free of discrimination, is also an opportunity. It gives you and your family a chance to concentrate on living and building a stable future. In addition, housing literally opens the door to so many other opportunities. Where you live often determines the quality of education your children receive, the employment options and health services you enjoy, the availability of day care, and access to business associations.
Equal housing opportunity creates a diversity of people and cultures which greatly enhances every work and educational environment.
The Toledo Fair Housing Center is here to ensure that all who seek housing have an equal opportunity to rent, purchase, finance or insure the property they choose. Fair housing is the law of the land. Fair housing means that you may freely choose a place of residence without regard to your race, religion, color, sex, national origin, ancestry, familial status (families with children), or disability. It is your right to be treated in an equal and non-discriminatory manner.
Discrimination isn't just unfair. It isn't just destructive and humiliating. Discrimination is illegal. The Toledo Fair Housing Center is here to protect people who experience discrimination. The Center has effectively handled thousands of housing discrimination complaints since 1975. If you suspect that housing discrimination has occurred, contact The Toledo Fair Housing Center immediately. The FAIR HOUSING CENTER works closely with government agencies at all levels and with private attorneys to ensure that fair housing laws are vigorously enforced. All of The Toledo Fair Housing Center's counseling and investigative services are free.
There is much ignorance, fear and confusion regarding the issues of fair housing. The Toledo Fair Housing Center is here to help people better understand these issues. The Toledo Fair Housing Center is here with years of experience, information, and educational programs (including slide/video presentations and role plays) for consumers, housing professionals, schools, governmental bodies, etc. The Toledo Fair Housing Center is a valuable community resource.
The Toledo Fair Housing Center is a private, non-profit organization which has effectively served the Toledo metropolitan area since 1975. The Center is a project of the Toledo Community Housing Resources Board, Incorporated. The Board of Trustees in composed of representatives from the Toledo Metropolitan area and includes lawyers, teachers, business professionals, homemakers, insurance agents, mortgage lenders, clergy, and others interested in making fair housing a reality for all people. Our primary service area is the Toledo metropolitan area, but the impact of our programs is felt throughout the country.
We have worked toward the goals of fair housing and fair lending since 1975. We have made great progress, thanks to all who have worked to bring about equality in housing opportunity. We will continue to be successful - but only with your continued help and support.

For the first time since Bernard Hopkins stopped Glen Johnson in the 11th round in July 1997, boxing will be televised on CBS this weekend.
That's 15 long years, and Richard Schaefer is more than stoked to be one of the people responsible for this coup that will see Leo Santa Cruz defend his bantamweight belt against Alberto Guevara at the Sports Arena.
Doors open at 12:30 p.m. Saturday with the first bell set for 1. The CBS broadcast begins at 1:30. Best of all, admission is free as a prelude to the nighttime card that will feature former super-lightweight champion Amir Khan against Carlos Molina in the main event on Showtime. Fans presenting their free ticket stubs from the day event to the night event will get a 20 percent discount toward a ticket for Khan-Molina while supplies of those tickets last.
"We at Golden Boy have done many big fights, from the biggest one - Oscar De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather - which broke all records," said Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. "It was an exciting atmosphere there. But to bring boxing back on network television with a world championship fight, with one of the most exciting fighters, I think, tops the biggest fights we've done.
"It's extremely satisfying because we always wanted to do that, finally be back on network television."
Santa Cruz is equally pleased to be part of this somewhat historic occasion.
"This is such an unbelievable opportunity," said Santa Cruz, who attended Lincoln High in Los Angeles. "To fight on CBS is the greatest exposure you can get.
"I've always considered myself a hard worker, but I have worked even harder for this. I'm always a little nervous, but I'm already a little more nervous than usual."
Santa Cruz (20-0-1, 12 KOs) will be trying to make the third successful defense of his belt. Guevara, of San Diego, is 16-0 with six knockouts. This will be his first shot at a title.
Like Santa Cruz, Guevara almost can't believe he is going to be duking it out on network television.
"I really can't describe how happy I am to be fighting for a world title on such a great network like CBS," he said. "This is definitely as good as it gets. I'm very proud to be part of this event, but what's important to me is to be able to take advantage of the opportunity."
Diaz to debut
It was only a few months ago that Joseph Diaz Jr. of South El Monte represented the United States in the Olympic Games in London. He will make his professional debut on the Santa Cruz-Guevara undercard, and his fight with Vicente Alfaro (5-2, 1 KO) will also be televised on CBS.
Diaz signed a five-year promotional deal with Golden Boy last week.
"I think the timing is perfect for me to turn pro," said Diaz, 19. "I waited a little, looking for the best fit, and Golden Boy fit perfectly."
Diaz is anxious to get going.
"All things considered, I'm pretty calm," he said. "I'll probably get a case of the nerves in the dressing room on fight night, but once I get in the ring I'll be ready to rumble."
Diaz went 1-1 in the Olympics. He was a two-time U.S. national amateur champion.
Toy Drive, discount
Today's weigh-in will take place at 2 p.m. at the Coliseum's Olympic Statues located at 3939 S. Figueroa St. in Los Angeles. It is open to the public, who can take advantage of the Golden Boy Promotions toy drive that has been going on during this fight week.
Those donating an unwrapped toy valued at $20 or more will get two tickets to the Khan-Molina fight. (There is a limit of two tickets per person, per toy and the offer is only good while supplies last)... The weigh-in will be streamed on several avenues, including LIVE via satellite, YouTube, Ustream and sports.sho.com/live.

How to Prepare for the Test
You should not eat or drink anything for 8 hours before the test.
How the Test Will Feel
You may have a gagging feeling and some discomfort when the tube is put into place. The acid may cause symptoms of heartburn. Your throat may be sore after the test.
Why the Test is Performed
The test tries toreproduce symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux (stomach acids coming back up into the esophagus). It is doneto see if you have the condition.
Normal Results
The test results will be negative.
What Abnormal Results Mean
A positive testshows that tyour symptomsare caused byesophageal reflux of acid from the stomach.
There is a risk of gagging or vomiting.

For months, BlackBerry has been touting its highly secure BES10 (BlackBerry Enterprise Services) management server as the reason to stick with BlackBerry devices, whose sales have plummeted to a neglible percentage of the market in the last two years. Yet today, BlackBerry announced that it was licensing BES 10 APIs to competitors like EMC VMware's AirWatch subsidiary, Citrix Systems' Zenprise-based XenMobile unit, and IBM's Fiberlink unit.
So if BlackBerry 10 management can be done by the MDM tools commonly used today to manage iOS and Android devices, why bother with BES at all? At first glance, it seems as if BlackBerry is throwing in the towel on the crown jewel of its curent strategy: offering the best security for high-compliance customers.
[ My plan for saving BlackBerry. | Mobile security: iOS vs. Android vs. BlackBerry vs. Windows Phone. | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights with the Mobilize newsletter. ]
What's actually happening is that BlackBerry is trying to do two things at once. One is to expand the sales of its BlackBerry 10 devices, whose sales are roughly 4 million a year (its older, less capable BlackBerry 7 devices outsell BlackBerry 10 devices about three to one). The other is to provide a high-security server for the lucrative niche of companies that want it. It's a risky move, precisely because it raises the question of why any company would want BES10 -- or its upcoming successor, BES12 -- if they can manage BlackBerrys from the MDM tools they already have for iOS and Android.
First, let me explain where BES fits in the market today because understanding that is critical to evaluating BlackBerry's latest strategy. BES5 supported only BlackBerry 5 through 7 devices, so most companies run it, even as most of them also use a separate MDM tool for managing iOS and Android devices. BES10's most recent version manages BlackBerry 5 through 10, iOS, and Android, in an attempt by BlackBerry to have customers toss those other MDM tools and centralize on a BES10 upgrade.
That strategy is not really working because BES10 doesn't manage iOS and Android as well as the leading MDM tools -- it doesn't support many iOS 7 capabilities, such as application management, for example -- and the low percentage of BlackBerry 10 devices in use has led many IT depatrments to stick with their paid-for BES5 servers for their legacy BlackBerry devices and avoid BES10. Yes, BlackBerry recently announced that 800,000 client licenses were distributed for testing BES10, but let's be honest: Those are free copies designed for tire-kicking. BES10 isn't in serious production use. BES12 is supposed to be the one that IT will actually commit to, but it's not due until early 2015, and by then who knows if BlackBerry 10 will be on anyone's radar. (There is no BES11.)
BES10 is also very complex, and I know several IT shops that gave up on using it for managing BlackBerry 10 devices; they switched to managing those devices via Microsoft Exchange, which BlackBerry 10 supports, unlike earlier BlackBerrys. As you would imagine, they don't need the kind of heavy-handed compliance management that, say, a defense contractor or financial institution (or even a drug cartel boss) does.
BlackBerry today gives IT two options: basic Exchange management or full-on, end-to-end BES management. Most large companies -- even financial, medical, and defense firms -- need something in between, which is what the leading MDM tools provide. BlackBerry's strategy of supporting just BES10 or Exchange essentially limited BlackBerry usage to high-security companies because very few users are choosing BlackBerrys in the kinds of companies that need only the basic secuuity that Exchange provides.

Post subject: Kansas City Chiefs Season Preview
The Chiefs will be hoping that a revamped defense can bring them to the promised. The Chiefs are bringing back all they key pieces to an offense that ranked no. 1 in the NFL last year, but because of their pathetic defense, they missed the playoffs. The Chiefs took an aggressive approach to fixing that offense in the offseason and hope that the host of defensive players they brought in can transform it into a solid unit. If the offense continues its dominance and the defense plays as good as it looks on paper, the Chiefs will be hard pressed to miss the playoffs.
The Chiefs brought in an impressive group of defenders this offseason consisting of 2001 defensive rookie of the year LB Kendrell Bell, 2-time pro bowl CB Patrick Surtain, SS Sammy Knight, DE Carlos Hall and rookie OLB Derrick Johnson. This group of players means major improvements at several positions. Kendrell Bell is an aggressive player against the run who puts big hits on ball-carriers and takes on blocks. He has the range to make plays sideline to sideline and would be considered an upper-echelon MLB by now if he could just stay healthy. Patrick Surtain is among the leagues elite CBs as he has the coverage skills and athleticism to blanket receivers and the speed to turn and run with almost anyone. He is a playmaker when the ball is in the air and he is good at jumping routes and coming up with interceptions. Sammy Knight is a productive safety who makes a lot of tackles in the box and in the secondary and few players have better instincts than him. He also makes plays on the ball when in the air, and his only real weakness is a lack of pure speed. Carlos Hall is a DE with good edge-rushing skills coming off a disappointing season. Derrick Johnson is a sideline to sideline tackler with great athleticism and he is a playmaker in every sense of the word. There has been criticism about him not being good at taking on blocks, but he will prove that to be just an overblown criticism. He was the best defensive player in the draft and he will prove it. The Chiefs also improved their defense by drafting P Dustin Colquitt, who will help out with field position.
But the Chiefs defense still has some weak spots. DT is a position in question as Ryan Simms has never come close to playing up to potential and they dont have another good starter there. John Browning is a DT with some penetrating ability but his productivity needs to increase if he remains starter. Lional Dalton is only effective when used as a backup because he lacks the conditioning to stay fresh when he plays every down. Junior Siavii is an incredibly powerful DT that the team would love to see show the skills necessary to take over the starting job. There is also question about who will man the second CB spot. Eric Warfield, who would have been the starter, is facing a suspension and wont be available until week 5. Julian Battle, who would have taken Warfields starting spot, is out for the season. The team how now turned to Dexter McCleon, who is best fit as a nickel back, as the starter. Also, the RDE position is a concern. Jared Allen are best when used as situational pass-rushers and the team doesnt have a good every down option at RDE. Most likely the team will start Jared Allen, a relentless pass-rusher who plays with a good motor and a lot of intensity.
Also on the teams front 7 is Eric Hicks, a power end who anchors well against the run but isnt much of a pass-rusher. OLB Shawn Barber, who had an outstanding 2003 season, disappointed in the first half of the 2004 season and then missed the second half due to injury. Barber is a rangy OLB who can penetrate but he isnt a very physical player. MLB Mike Maslowski, who missed much of the 2004 season due to injury, is a smart 2-down LB. OLB Scott Fujita, who has led the team in tackles for two consecutive years, has good speed for a LB and plays his hardest every play. MLB Kawika Mitchell has flashed playmaking potential but he doesnt have adequate mental capacity to be effective.
The Chiefs also have a pretty deep secondary. After Surtain, Warfield and McCleon, the Chiefs have some good depth at CB. Ashley Ambrose and Dewayne Washington are both solid veteran CBs who can get the job done when asked to play. Alphonso Hodge has great physical attributes in that he has good size and top-end speed but his ball skills are lacking and he needs to be quicker to react to routes and plays. The teams starting FS is set to be Shaunard Harts, who has excellent coverage skills. Last years starting safeties, Jerome Woods and Greg Wesley, are still on the roster but theyve fallen out of favor in KC.
The most important part of the Chiefs dominant offense is their O-line, which remains intact. The line has some aging players, but they havent shown any signs of aging when on the field. Willie Shields, a 9-time pro-bowler, is probably the best guard in the league. He has the strength to overpower defenders and the quickness and technique to handle athletic players and he is also a great blocker on the second level. LT Willie Roaf is a great pass-blocker who makes sure Trent Green doesnt have to worry about his blindside. Brian Water is a mauler OG and is one of the better players at his position. C Casey Wiegmann does not have good size or physical ability but he has great technique and intelligence and plays hard and gets the job done. RT John Welbourn, who can also play guard, might lose his starting job, but he is still a very solid veteran. The team is thinking about starting Jordan Black at RT, but he lacks ideal power and athletic ability. Rookie mammoth RT Jeremy Parquet could also get a chance at the spot. The Chiefs line is nothing short of dominant and it is the key to their offense.
Over the last few years, the Chiefs offense has been centered around their dominant running game. Priest Holmes, who broke the single-season TD mark 2 years ago, has better vision than any back in the league. He is also an elusive back who rarely gets taken down by the first tackler and hes great at bouncing it outside. Few backs have the receiving skills he does and that package combines to make him one of the NFLs elite backs. However, he is aging and suffering from injuries. But that is much of a worry because he has an excellent backup, Larry Johnson. Johnson does not have Holmes receiving ability, vision or elusiveness, but he is big, powerful and fast and he rushed for 581 yards with a 4.8 yards per carry average last year in Holmes absence. The team also has one of the best fullbacks in the business, Tony Richardson, a good blocker who can be used as an offensive weapon.
In the passing game, the teams biggest weapon is their TE, Tony Gonzalez, who may go down in history as the best TE to ever play the game. Tony Gonzalez is a true go-to receiver who catches everything that comes near him and there are few players in this league who can match up man to man with him. Last year, he led the league in receptions and totaled 1258 receiving yards which ranked him 7th in the league which is incredible for a TE. Their QB, Trent Green, is the definition of a system QB. He puts up great numbers, but his job is quite easy. He mostly hands it off to the running back and throws it to the TE behind the best line in football. But while he isnt a QB who makes things happen, you have to hand it to him because he does a great job running that system. Their top WR, Eddie Kennison, a speedy wideout, is coming off a career year where he received for 1086 yards and 8 TDs. The team lost Jonnie Morton in the offseason and is hoping Samie Parker can move into the starting lineup and pick up the slack. Parker, a second-year pro, has explosive speed and good athleticism. Dante Hall, made famous for his incredible work as a returner, will contribute out of the slot, as will Marc Boerigter, a big, fast receiver coming off an injury, and rookie Craphonso Thorpe, a receiver who is hard to handle in man to man coverage. The team has a group of WRs, who, for the most part, are best at running deep routes because they all have excellent speed. This works OK because Green can consistently throw to Holmes and Gonzalez on short routes. Kansas Citys offense has been one of the best in the league for a few years now using this formula and it probably wont stop working now.
The Chiefs have to be thought of as the favorite to win the AFC West. They have a proven offense and if you look at their defense on paper, you have to expect major improvement. There are some questions, like if Holmes can stay healthy and whether or not Willie Shields and Willie Roaf will continue to be age-resistant. Defensively, the health of players like Kendrell Bell and Shawn Barber are in question, and the best way to revamp a defense isnt always to add a lot of new players. It has worked at times but it has also blown up in some teams faces, and well have to see what happens with the Chiefs.

Please wait while you are redirected.
Earlier this month, Sima Jani, a second-year MBA student, stood before a room of mostly women and introduced herself. It was a moment the president of the new Rice chapter of the Women's Energy Network (WEN) had waited a year for.
"I didn't know how to start a club," she explained. "I didn't know anyone in the industry. I just knew that I came to the Rice MBA program to switch into the energy industry."
In educating herself about her newly chosen field, she'd uncovered a startling statistic — women account for only 7.4 percent of the energy industry. "I thought it was some kind of mistake," Jani said. Although experts say the numbers are increasing, she knew she would have to seek out a mentor to learn more about the industry, network and navigate her career.
That's when she discovered the national chapter of WEN.
Women's Energy Network
Jani met Amy Allen at a National Association of Women MBAs gathering. Allen was director of community initiatives at WEN's professional chapter, and she wanted to help. It was during their first conversation that Jani ran with the idea to start a Rice chapter. Along with the help of Professor in the Practice of Energy Management Bill Arnold, the office of student services, and the career management center, Jani and Allen turned that idea into a reality.
"When I first got involved, I had four primary interests: to learn about the industry, capitalize on great resources, network with professional women, and potentially get an internship." But over the past year, that vision has grown.
"Today my mission is more about giving back and building a strong network of female students who are interested in a career in the energy industry." Her plan is to open the chapter membership to women all over campus —undergraduates, graduate students and alumni at Rice — as well as inviting students and alumni from University of Houston and St. Thomas chapters to events.
The mission at the Rice chapter of WEN is to retain and develop women in the energy industry by fostering relationships, offering mentorship programs, and developing leadership competencies and industry insight. All of these will require strategic partnerships with professionals, companies, educational institutions and organizations. "WEN will bring all of us who are passionate about women, education, leadership and energy together," Jani said.
Inaugural event
After months of planning, the Rice chapter of the Women's Energy Network hosted a kickoff lunch November 1 with a panel of four WEN members from BP, GE Energy, Whitaker Oil and Gas, and Deloitte. The topic of discussion? "Navigating Your Career Path in the Energy Industry." Jani moderated and audience members — half MBAs, half graduate and undergraduate students from other areas at Rice — got a glimpse into each panelist's career journey. Varying in age, experience and job titles, the speakers were able to respond with something for everyone — from finding your communication style and embarking on an energy career from another industry to being the only woman in the room on deals in countries where the culture and climate differ greatly from the U.S.
Afterwards, amidst the crush of conversation audience members held with panelists, Jani said, "I hope all students in this room will take the opportunity to join WEN, become active members and, together, help create a bigger and more diverse group of female students who make the change they want to see for women in the leadership world."
Along with special guests, Dagmar Beck, director of the Professional Master's Program at Wiess School of Natural Sciences, and Bill Arnold, professor in the practice of energy management at the Jones School, WEN would like to thank Brandy Copley from GE Energy, Hannah Im from BP, Karen Walding-Zuntych from Whitaker Oil and Gas, and Ashley Gibson from Deloitte for sharing their time and experiences during the luncheon.

Yesterday I had a very productive day in California talking about social media, technology, emergency management, and ways to assist the public in getting prepared, by using the tools they use on a daily basis. Check out this short video to see who I met with:
- The need to provide information to the public as data feeds, because they are a key member of our emergency management team;
- The importance of referring to people impacted by a disaster as survivors and utilizing them as a resource;
- The importance of providing good customer service; and
- How we, as emergency managers, need to stop trying to have the public fit into our way of doing things and receiving information, but that we should fit the way the public gets, receives and seeks out information.
There are a lot of discussions and conversations taking place about social media, text messaging, etc, and how these tools can be used before, during, and after a disaster.
There's no question that these tools have already changed the field of emergency management – and will continue to. As emergency managers, we will have to be flexible and agile and quickly adapt as new technologies and communications tools emerge. What's exciting is that these new tools, if we embrace them and leverage them effectively, will continue to help us better serve our customers – the public.
As the conversation continues, and as you use these tools on a daily basis, there are things that you can today do to prepare yourself, your family members, and your colleagues at work.
Communicating during or after an emergency
How are you communicating with each other if a disaster or emergency occurs? Are you going to call each other, send an email, text message, or update each other via a social network site? The disaster or emergency could be something like a blackout in your city or a school closure; all disasters aren't large earthquakes or hurricanes.
Receiving updates on your phone
How are you receiving updates from local officials? Have you signed up for text message or email alerts? If you're on Facebook, did you know that you can signup to receive text message updates from Facebook pages you follow? If you are a fan of FEMA on Facebook or your local emergency management agency, you can receive our update as a text message right on your phone (and just like with any text message, standard rates apply).
Leverage Twitter without creating an account
And here's another small tip: if you are thinking about using Twitter, did you know you can receive text messages updates from someone you're following without having to create an account? For example, if you wanted to receive our updates as a text message to your phone, just text FOLLOW FEMA to 40404 (this is Twitter's text message number and of course, standard text message rates apply --- the lawyers require me to repeat this). You can do the same for your local emergency management agency.
Our meetings in California generated great discussions and ideas and I'm excited to explore how we can move forward on them. In the meantime, I'd like to hear how you use these and other social network sites to communicate with friends and family before or during an emergency, so we can all utilize these tools to fullest capability, so please leave a comment below, or visit our ongoing challenge at www.challenge.gov/fema and submit your ideas.

If you run it in a virtual machine (personally, I much prefer VirtualBox to VMWare) making a flash drive is not necessary. Simply mount the ISO (you can even make a VM with no hard drive defined) in the virtual CD-ROM drive and boot.
You will lose some features (i.e.: you need a USB dongle for Wireless / Bluetooth hacking, no CUDA) but that will give you really quick access to all the tools.
You can also install BT to a hard disk in a virtual machine, which will allow you to save changes (install new tools, updates, register nessus, etc.) You don't need to worry about partitioning then, as long as you have enough free space it will simply create the partitions in a file on your host.
And then there's the dual-boot option which will give BT more RAM and direct access to your hardware.
Good luck!

Chi-An Wang's Dream Job
Chi-An's work may lead to better treatments and care for people with life-threatening illnesses. She's a mechanical engineer who helps to ensure the quality of state-of-the-art medical devices called GeneChip DNA probes. These highly sensitive probes can be used to detect certain diseases and may radically change how they are diagnosed and treated.
Where she works
Chi-an works at Affymetrix, a biomedical company, in Sacramento, California.
An earlier biomedical job
"I worked for a company that made devices for open-heart surgery. The job was very hands-on. I helped test tools that surgeons use to position the heart. Amazing stuff to think about!"
Designing a running shoe for New Balance
As a mechanical engineering student, Chi-An had an extraordinary opportunity: she collaborated with the athletic product company, New Balance, to design a new shoe for triathlon runners. Chi-An, who is herself a runner, realized that triathletes lose valuable time in the transition from cycling to running. Her ingenious design allows the runners to switch shoes quickly and with much less effort.
Watch her video!
Watch a video about Chi-An and the design of her running shoe.
Essential skills: creativity and communication
"Creativity is no doubt one of the major building blocks of a good engineer. An engineer's goal is to solve a problem or design a system that has never been built. The more creative you are, the more possible solutions you'll come up with. Communication is also key. It doesn't matter how good your work is—if you can't communicate it, it's not going to be very useful."
What got her interested in engineering:
"I was a biology major, but then I saw the kinds of hands-on work engineers get to do. You learn to think analytically, and you learn to problem-solve. With an engineering education, I could get a job in lots of different fields."
B.S. in mechanical engineering, MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Chi-An runs triathlons and other races, and coaches. She loves traveling, mountain-biking, swimming, and kayaking.

NASHVILLE, TN -- The National Automatic Merchandising Association has announced that Joe Webster, founder and chief executive of Newco Enterprises Inc. (St. Charles, MO) has been voted its Coffee Legend for 2013. The award will be presented this week at NAMA's Coffee, Tea and Water conference here.
Presenting honors at the awards ceremony will be CT&W co-chairmen Pete Tullio, Gourmet Coffee Service (Van Nuys, CA), and Howard Fisher, U.S. Roasterie (Des Moines, IA). The Coffee Legend award honors longtime industry members who have proven themselves innovators, pioneers and visionaries, passionate about coffee and eager to communicate that passion to others in order to help them succeed.
Newco, founded by the Webster and Vittoe families in 1974, was formed to meet the perceived need for replacement coffee brewer parts in the then-new coffee service industry. Over the nearly four decades since then, Newco has developed a broad line of its own equipment, a loyal customer base and a solid reputation in the OCS and foodservice industries.
"Joe Webster is an excellent choice as this year's Coffee Legend," said Roger Stewart, NAMA's director of coffee and water service. "He has instilled a family-oriented, customer-driven culture that is active every day at Newco. The company employs 160 associates who are known for their ability to deliver high-quality products and beverage solutions to customers."
"This is really an award for all of Newco. I'm proud to work with these folks every day," Webster said in acknowledging the award.

Ship Weight:0.50 Flavor:Tea Tree Alabu Lip Balm Tea Tree - 0.15 oz (4 mL) Alabu Lip Balm Tea Tree is for those of you who love tea tree oil. Alabu Lip Balm Tea Tree is made from a blend of moisturizing coconut and olive oils. The added beeswax provides long-lasting protection and helps keep the moisture locked in. Alabu Lip Balm Tea Tree is especially good for chapped lips. Alabu Lip Balm Original contains no petroleum, which only sits on top of the skin, not absorbed, leaving lips worse for the wear. Alabu Lip Balm Original absorbs into the skin leaving little residue without inhibiting your skin's ability to moisturize itself. Alabu Lip Balm Original offers a superior texture feel., using only all natural ingredients. Alabu Lip Balm Original is available in 4 flavors: Original, Tea Tree, Peppermint and Vanilla Infusion. How Alabu is Made Frequently Asked Questions Which Soap works best for dry or problem skin? Alabu finds that what brings the most relief varies from person to person. If the cause of their problem is sensitivities to chemicals, any of their goat milk soap will bring relief. Most people with problem skin use our Tea Tree soap. For those with dry skin our most popular are Baby Me, Buttermilk, Rich, and Oat & Honey. Why do you use goat milk?Milk has been used as a cleanser and beauty aid for centuries. Goat milk, however, has special qualities-some that are still not fully understood. It is used universally by people with sensitivities to other types of milk for everything from feeding babies to bathing. The goat milk Alabu uses is fresh, not powdered. Unlike powdered goat milk, fresh goat milk is loaded with vitamins (D, B6, C, E), milk sugars, proteins, & butterfat. Goat milk also contributes a thicker lather to the soap than water (the common alternative), and is a natural source of Alpha-hydroxy acids. Recent studies indicate that Alpha-hydroxy acids rejuvenate your skin making you look and feel smoother and younger. Why handmade?Alabu's small batch size and handcrafted production process allows them to create the highest-quality bar of soap around. Glycerin, a naturally occurring moisturizer, is produced in soap and helps draw moisture to your skin. Commodity soap and detergent manufactures process their product to take out the glycerin and sell it as a valuable byproduct. By keeping the natural glycerin in the soap, you get a wonderfully moisturizing bar of soap, that actually moisturizes your skin as you use it. More and more people are discovering the truth about commodity soaps (go ahead and read the label on any one of them). They are finding out that they are not soaps but actually harsh detergents. Detergents strip oils out of the skin removing the naturally present moisturizing oils along with the soil. This is why you skin feels dry and uncomfortable after bathing. Handcrafted soaps gently lift the soil on your skin into suspension so it can be washed away. Handcrafted soap leaves glycerin and other moisturizing oils behind making you skin softer and moisturized. After regularly using handcrafted soap you may find that you no longer need to apply lotions and creams after bathing. So why not treat yourself to a bar of handcrafted soap? You skin will thank you for it. Why not a goat milk shampoo? A good shampoo is actually quite a bit different from soap. One of the main differences is that it has a lower pH that is more friendly to your hair. One of the problems this creates is that lowering the pH provides an environment in which gram-negative bacteria are able to thrive. Nearly all gram-negative bacteria are harmful. The way most companies deal with this is by putting a synthetic preservative in the shampoo. While using a synthetic preservative is certainly healthier than using a shampoo full of harmful bacteria, it's not something we're planning on doing any time soon. Alabu is currently researching ways to preserve shampoo naturally, but don't have any kind of time frame on when they may release a shampoo. How is Alabu soap made?All of their soap is made in small batches. Every batch is guaranteed. They allow our soaps to naturally air dry for at least four weeks. Drying is necessary to make a mild bar of soap and allows the soap to last longer as well. Get the full scoop and a sweet video of our production process over here. What's different about your soap?Soap making is a delicate blend of art and science. Because of the temperamental reactions of the ingredients-goat milk, vegetable oils, and alkali-it's very tricky to create a soap that uses goat milk as a base ingredient instead of water, especially fresh goat milk. Alabu uses something called the cold process method to handcraft our soaps in small batches. This just means that they don't add heat during the soap-making chemical reaction. This helps preserve the naturally occurring properties of the milk and oils we use. Goat milk is rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals and nourishing to your skin. We do everything possible to preserve these properties. The result; Alabu's soap moisturizes, soothes, and softens your skin naturally. Try a bar. Alabu thinks you will love how it makes you feel! They are committed to making natural bath and body products that gently yet thoroughly cleanse and moisturize. Their ingredients contain no artificial preservatives or colors. Most people with sensitive skin find they can use our scented products with good results, but for our friends with especially delicate complexions we also offer unscented products.How much goat milk is in a bar of your soap?We use farm fresh goat milk. We use no powdered milk, and we add zero water. That means over 1/4 of our handmade soap recipe is pure goat milk and there is almost 1oz of goat milk in each handmade bath bar. Why do you make soap?The answer is simple, they like what it does for the skin :). Once you try Alabu's handmade soap and realize what a difference it makes, you'll be hooked, too. Most people find they eliminate or significantly reduce the amount of lotion they use when they start using our handmade soap. No kidding! Do I need to do anything special to take care of my soap?You don't have to do anything, but there are a couple of things you can do to get the most out of your soap. Alabu recommends using a soap dish that drains. Your soap will last much longer if it is allowed to breath and "dry" after each use. What is lye?Lye is a pretty loosely defined term, but it always means either raw sodium hydroxide, or sodium hydroxide mixed with water. Sodium hydroxide is a strong caustic alkali (or base). This highly alkaline substance is neutralized when combined with fats or oils to form soap. All soap (commodity or handmade) requires sodium hydroxide or another strong alkali to create soap. Where does the lye go in soap?Soap is produced when a fatty acid is combined with an alkali (for bar soap, almost always sodium hydroxide A.K.A. lye) in a process called saponification. The alkali causes the fatty acid to be split into two parts: the major fatty part (a carbon chain) and glycerin. Once this happens, sodium joins with the carbon chain to produce soap. Soaps are usually produced by combining fats or oils with lye, soda (Na2CO3). In this process the alkali is used up in the reaction. In our soap, we actually use much less alkali than is required. The result is that there is absolutely zero chance of there being any alkali leftover, and there's also extra moisturizing oils in the bar to help soften, soothe, and moisturizer your skin! What's the difference between fragrance & essential oils? Essential Oils are extracted from the plant. Fragrance oils are aroma compounds blended to duplicate a particular fragrance. Some fragrance oils contain essential oils. Alabu use only pure fair trade essential oils in their products. Do you test any of your products on animals?Absolutely not! No animal testing is performed. Alabu formulates all of their products, and the ingredients they use are all top-quality and natural. They know how to formulate a product to give it the characteristics they are looking for, so they are totally comfortable with testing the products on their own skin before offering them for sale. Skin Care Hints Keeping your skin beautiful doesn't have to be complicated. Here are a few tips to help you keep your skin healthy. Bathing:A good quality bath can help moisturize your skin, but can dry your skin out if the water is too hot. Hot water will wash away the natural oils present in your skin. To hydrate your skin, your bath should be lukewarm and last between ten and twenty minutes. Also, a good quality moisturizing bath salt will help soften and moisturize your skin. Exfoliating:Exfoliation is a great way to maintain healthy skin, but you can easily over-do it. Avoid using soaps that are too harsh, and if you're going to use a wash cloth or something similar, you want to make very light circular motions, with a good quality soap on it to help reduce friction. If you have very sensitive skin you should probably skip the washcloth all together. Use a mild exfoliating soap like our Oat & Honey as it will be much less irritationg. Moisturizing:Many people find that the climate they live in combined with the natural moisturizing oils thier skin makes is enough to stay properly moisturized. For others, staying moisturized can be pretty time consuming, especially if you live in a dry climate, but it's an important part of keeping your skin healthy. Look for a moizturizer that offers some protective qualities (like a body butter) for your body, and a lighter moisturizer for your face. It's also a good idea to apply a moisturizer within five or ten minutes of getting out of the shower. Tips for your daily routine: There are many products on the market today that promise younger looking skin. Many are quite expensive, some have unpleasant side effects and very few offer noticeable results. We all feel better when we look good. The natural way to do this is to start with good nutrition and hydration. After that daily skin care can make you look and feel great. Washing morning and night with a gentle cleanser is a must. We like the Baby Me or Oat & Honey if you have dry or sensitive skin.\ Any of our soaps will clean your skin without stripping its natural oils. When you wash, try gently using a circular upward motion on your face and neck. After cleansing, and thoroughly rinsing apply a moisturizer to your face and neck. We like our Replenish Facial Moisturizer because it's so light and absorbs quickly into your skin. Drink water. Most people don't drink the recommended eight glasses a day. It will help keep away wrinkles from your skin and you'll feel better in general when you're hydrated. On occasion you may feel like some extra pampering. Here are some ideas for giving your skin spa-like care in the comfort of your own home. Exfoliation is the removal of the oldest dead skin cells that cling to the skin's outermost surface. Your skin is constantly making new skin cells at the dermis (lower layer of skin) and pushing them to the epidermis (surface of skin). As this cycle continues, the older skin cells slowly die and fill with keratin. This keratin is what protects our skin from the elements. However, as we age the cycle slows down causing skin cells to compile unevenly on the surface of the skin. This is what can cause a dull, rough, and dry look to the skins complexion. This is where exfoliation can be especially beneficial. Exfoliation is an important part of both facials and body treatments. When done correctly, exfoliation leaves the skin feeling smoother and fresher looking. Exfoliation also makes absorption easier for your moisturizer. Be sure to never over-exfoliate, meaning once a week or every three to five days is sufficient. Keep in mind to use the circular motion as described earlier. Be gentle. Using abrasive objects or substances is unnecessary. Remember, you're only removing dead skin cells so it shouldn't take a lot of pressure or scrubbing. Some people have a lengthy and specific skin care routine that they like to follow, while others may not have the time to be so in depth. Keeping your skin care routine simple doesn't mean you can't have beautiful skin too. Using a gentle bar of Alabu soap along with a light moisturizer, like Replenish Facial Moisturizer can be the extent of your face care routine if you're looking to keep it simple. Alabu soap is effective when it comes to removing dirt, but amazingly gentle because it contains moisturizing oils as well as naturally occurring glycerin. If you choose to use a moisturizer around your eyes, be sure to apply it with your pinky or ring finger. Since these are your weakest fingers it allows you to apply it gently with care to the sensitive areas around your eyes. Use of a mask either weekly or bi-weekly can help to renew your pores. Keep in mind that cleansing is important before applying a mask. When removing a mask, be gentle and use warm water. Always apply a moisturizer after using a mask. We have some mask you can make yourself on our recipes page. Keep in mind that protecting your skin from the sun can go a long way to reduce the age your skin looks. Protecting your skin from the sun when you go outdoors can be a big factor when it comes to healthy your skin. Though some people don't like to hear this, tanning is often associated with premature signs of aging in the skin. Good skin care involves a variety of tasks, including eating healthy and drinking plenty of water. While skin care on the outside with the use of exfoliants and moisturizers seems like the logical obvious way to create healthy looking skin, we can't forget that what we put on the inside makes a difference too. About AlabuHow it all started: The story of Alabu Natural Skin Care.On a sunny winter day in 1997, a friend recruited Alabu Founder Maryclaire Mayes' help for a soap making project. Her friend thought it would be a good chemistry lesson for Maryclaire' home-schooled children. So, they crowded into her kitchen (equipped with goggles and gloves), and learned how alkali combines with oils to make soap. Her friend had to convince Maryclaire to try the soap. At first, she was a little afraid to try it because the old fashioned soaps she knew growing up were very harsh (they made their own lye from wood ashes). Thankfully handcrafted soaps have really progressed. Maryclaire never realized how drying commercial "soaps" were until she tried Alabu's handmade goat milk soap (She has learned most commercial "soaps" are actually detergents). She was finally able to get out of the shower without feeling dry and itchy or like her skin shrank. She was hooked on making her own all- natural soap. She started researching, reading, and learning all she could about making the best soap, and the more she learned, the more she was sure she never wanted to use commercial "soaps" again. She started to read the ingredients on commercial soap labels-yikes!!! At first Maryclaire started making Alabu for her family and friends and giving it away as gifts. Eventually her husband, Dean, convinced her that they should go into business and sell the soap. That's how Alabu was born. Since then, Alabu has continued to grow. They have now expanded from just soap to a line of all natural skin care products. Maryclaire's son, Hal handles most of the day to day operations, and Dean and Maryclaire have taken more of a supporting role. Natural continues to be at the forefront of all that Alabu does. Their products have the ability to change the way you think about all-natural skin care, and as someone that cares a lot about skin health, Maryclaire Mayes can assure you that you'll love Alabu products.

Federal Employees Urged to Complete Relocation Survey by June 15
June 2, 2005
Contact:Viki Reath (202) 501-1231
Washington, D.C. – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) urges federal employees who have relocated at government expense since Oct. 1, 2004, to respond by June 15, 2005 to an electronic survey on implementation and perception of relocation entitlements.
Responses will help shape the Government Wide Relocation Advisory Board's review of the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) to identify relocation policy changes that would provide best value to federal employees and taxpayers.
GSA's Office of Governmenwide Policy, which is responsible for implementing FTR relocation policies in the continental United States, created the board, which was chartered in July 2004, under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA),
The survey may be found at: http://www.surveysolutions.com/gsa/emp.htm.
The relocation board, which includes representatives from government and industry, plans to hold its final in a series of public meetings on Aug. 17, 2005 and to present its report and recommendations in the fall.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property management agency with 13,000 associates. Congress created GSA to help agencies improve efficiency and better serve the public. Today, GSA provides government-wide policy, and, on behalf of federal agencies, acquires office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services for more than one million federal workers in more than 8,000 buildings in 2,000 U.S. communities.

The Lions' offseason signing of Reggie Bush looked like a move that perfectly fit their offense. And it looked just about perfect in Week 1 as Bush ran 21 times for 90 yards and caught four of his eight targets for another 101 yards. But Bush also finished the game with a couple of things he'd rather not have: injuries.
Bush pulled a groin muscle and dislocated his left thumb during the first quarter.
"[My] thumb's all right," Bush said. "It'll probably start killing me in a little bit once everything wears off. I dislocated it early in the first quarter and it was facing the wrong direction.
"They just popped it back in. Thankfully I was able to tape it up and carry the ball in my right hand."
Fantasy Analysis:
Bush played in 31 of 32 regular-season games while with the Dolphins, but we can't completely forget about his injury-prone years with the Saints. Joique Bell , who scored two short-yardage touchdowns and gained 92 scrimmage yards versus the Vikings, needs to be owned in all leagues. Not only as Bush's handcuff, but also because it's clear that he is the Lions' goal-line running back, not Mikel Leshoure , who was a healthy scratch. Even if Bush stays healthy, Bell has easy flex value in PPR leagues. And if Bush can stay healthy, it looks like he will be an RB1 in this offense.

Biographical Information on Mr. William P. Kennedy and Mrs. Lou W. Kennedy
A Tale of Two South Carolinians…
It took a chance meeting at a winning South Carolina football game (over Georgia) for Bill and Lou Kennedy to meet. In early 2000, their fate was sealed; these two proud South Carolinians began a prosperous union in both business and life. Their story begins here:
Bill Kennedy, a native of South Carolina, graduated from the USC College of Pharmacy in 1966 and moved to Florida in 1967. He obtained his Florida pharmacy license that same year, and immediately began his career as a retail pharmacist for Webb's Fabulous Pharmacies in Orlando. As a pharmacist and later a regional manager for Webb's, it became apparent that the business of pharmacy was to be his passion. By age 30, he managed to purchase the first of many businesses, Thayer's Colonial Pharmacy, a Rexall drug store. Kennedy thrived as an independent pharmacist, as he chose to stray from the era's emphasis on big box retailers. His business acumen truly began to blossom at Thayer's, and his unique style of marketing, coupled with patient care and unusual sales avenues (he actually compounded creams for several professional sports franchises out of his Orlando pharmacy) paved the way for the growth that was to follow.
As Medicare grew in the 1970s, Kennedy realized a need for the delivery of drugs and medical equipment directly to the homebound. Subsequently, a new role in the industry was identified, as that of a mail-order pharmacist. To meet the needs of homebound Floridians, Kennedy expanded his Thayer's Colonial Pharmacy into a statewide chain. In the 1980s, with underserved rural communities as his focal point, the company expanded across the United States.
The next evolution, RoTech Medical Corp., was formed to become a publicly traded company in 1985. During the explosive growth of the late '80s and early 1990s, RoTech added more than 700 locations throughout the U.S., serving hundreds of thousands of Americans. By 1997, RoTech was sold for approximately $1 billion. RoTech's success was a clear example of innovative business principles, working in tandem with the practice of pharmacy.
With the triumph of RoTech, the 1990s ushered in a new opportunity for Kennedy, and he realized his dream of becoming a pharmaceutical manufacturer. He purchased a small company named Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corp. By 1997, it was validated as an approved FDA manufacturing facility. Nephron currently produces generic respiratory medications. With a capacity of more than 100 million doses monthly, it is able to serve patients throughout the world. Nephron utilizes blow fill seal technology (Nephron is only one of four such facilities in the U.S.); employs more than 550, and its products are made available in every pharmacy and hospital. As a result of Kennedy's 40-plus years in healthcare, he was invited twice during these years to testify as an expert witness on Capitol Hill.
A key ingredient of Nephron's success is Lou Kennedy. She is also a graduate of USC, having earned a bachelor's in journalism in 1984. In late 2001, Lou Kennedy set out to recruit, develop and train a national sales force to market Nephron's products to hospitals. Over the next six years the sales and marketing efforts grew to encompass a broader customer base.
Never shying away from a challenge, this "dynamic duo" simultaneously carved out time to create and sell another pharmacy business while they championed Nephron's achievements. Home Oxygen 2 U was created to offer respiratory equipment and medications to patients in their homes. As a unique innovation, they utilized technology such as TV advertising and telemarketing to reach consumers, rather than a traditional marketing sales force. Home Oxygen 2 U was sold in less than two years for $60 million.
By 2007, Bill Kennedy transitioned into the role of strategic consultant, and Lou Kennedy took the reins as president and CEO. During these years Nephron's sales have grown more than 300 percent, and the company has undergone a multi-million dollar expansion. As such, Nephron is well positioned to compete against other large generic pharma competitors such as Mylan and Watson Pharmaceuticals.
Recently, during a conversation with University President Harris Pastides and Joe DiPiro, executive dean of the South Carolina College of Pharmacy, their desire to promote their alma mater was discussed. A donation to support the SCCP was suggested. It was their aspiration to incorporate their expertise in science and business to develop a curriculum that would embody both these fields of study. The ability to educate students on how they might succeed in many different areas of pharmacy practice became their focus, and from this, The Kennedy Pharmacy Innovation Center was conceived. It will be the first of its kind to foster collaboration in an interdisciplinary setting. The final goal for this project is for the SCCP to become the No. 1 ranked College of Pharmacy in the nation!

Stiff icing is used for decorations such as flowers with upright petals, like roses, carnations and sweet peas. Stiff icing also creates your figure piping and stringwork. If icing is not stiff enough, flower petals will droop. If icing cracks when piped out, icing is probably too stiff. Add light corn syrup to icing used for stringwork to give strings greater elasticity so they will not break.
Medium icing is used for decorations such as stars, borders and flowers with flat petals. If the icing is too stiff or too thin, you will not get the uniformity that characterizes these decorations. Medium to thin icing is used for icing your cake. Add water or milk to your icing recipe to achieve the correct consistency.
Thin icing is used for decorations such as printing and writing, vines and leaves. Leaves will be pointier, vines will not break and writing will flow easily if you add 1-2 teaspoons light corn syrup to each cup of icing.

You probably have the right to use the name Warner, but what about the name Brothers?
I called up John Calley, who was running Warner Bros., and told him about the project, and Joel and I went to meet with him.
The Warner folks led her into a room where they evidently told her the terrible news.
The two were then co-chairman of Warner Bros. and until that moment, Daly had always been quite reserved with me.
Statistics and studies aside, Warner humanizes the issues for the reader.
The other two looked at Warner and saw his left eyelid droop slightly.
Mr. Warner said that soon he would tell our fathers, and they would be proud of us.
Later, he wrote me with a humorous joy in his mistake that Warner had advised him to have the paper watched for these injuries.
With the contraction of Warner we may compare Marner, mariner.
And in this pause, a curious piece of byplay passed between Warner and OHearn.

"Every direct view or rear-projection home theater should have one.
Highly recommended."
Dr. Raymond Soneira, DisplayMate Technologies
"We are using the Ideal-Lume in each of our edit, compression and QC rooms with great results. The feedback I'm getting is that eye strain has been greatly reduced. The rooms also look great since they've been installed.
We recently moved to a new facility and were able to design the production department from the ground up. I wanted backlighting with the proper color temperature for each room and was given your website from a friend of mine over at Fox Studios. Your website and the documentation that shipped with the units were very informative and well written. The fact that your product was endorsed by Joe Kane and Perfect Vision also made my initial purchase decision much easier.
I ordered two more today because I ended up initially forgetting one room and we are also in the process of installing an additional edit bay.
Thank you for the inquiry and a well built product."

"I've been a fan of your products for a long time. I'm a colorist mainly working on shows for all the discovery channel networks, national geographic, pbs and others. Prior to starting my own business I was introduced to your products at a previous place that I worked. In my business accuracy is paramount and the Ideal Lume Pro seemed like a no brainer for a new suite I'm building as a monitor surround. I'll be sure to mention your great products to other colleagues. I'm also an author having written 6 books on postproduction and I also regularly do online training with companies like Lynda.com and CreativeCow, so in my next titles I'll be sure to mention how awesome the Ideal Lume Products are.

Douglas said the groups would consist of six to eight people playing "scenario games" where maps would be developed that indicate potential growth areas for the county.

This wedge is a solid performer and came in great shape. Have used Global Golf for years and they never disappoint.
nothing beats the feel of a forged club
Very nice wedge. Found the DG spinner shaft added too much spin. A lower spin shaft would do the trick. Nice forged feel and spin along similar lines of other forged OEMs. They made a winner as for the style...Smooth lines.
Mizuno makes great clubs and this is one of them. Good feel after stike of golf ball with "quad cut" groove on the face. Very impressed with this club.

At Pio Cesare, there has always been a conviction that great wine can come only from the finest grapes and the winery's output has always been limited through adherence to the highest standards. Pio Cesare limits its production by using only the most mature and healthy grapes. The ripening of the grapes is carefully monitored and the harvest is rigidly controlled with each grape selected by hand.
Today, the estate is managed by Pio Boffa, great-grandson of Pio Cesare. Under his stewardship, the wines of Pio Cesare have become famous throughout the world. Great strides have been made in quality, and single vineyard offerings have dazzled the wine press. View all Pio Cesare Wines
About PiedmontView a map of Piedmont wineries (PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Safety Tips
Safety and Health Resources for Safety Meetings
Safety & Health Tips:
- Running propane- or other fuel-powered equipment indoors can cause deadly amounts of carbon monoxide to build up quickly inside rooms and other enclosed work areas. Exposure symptoms may not be detected until it's too late.
- Don't eat, drink, or store food and beverages around hazardous chemicals. This helps ensure that contamination doesn't happen.
- Stretch out your arms, legs, wrists and back when you have time. The repeated motion some construction tasks can create problems such as muscle cramps or even carpal tunnel syndrome in your wrists and forearms. Stretching will help to keep your muscles loose and prevent cramps and other problems.
- Stay alert for possible hazards during each task you perform, particularly during the final stages of a job. Don't let familiarity with the job site dull your hazard radar.
- Prevent injuries when using cutting tools to open boxes. Always cut away from yourself and immediately sheath the blade if you stop using the tool, even for a short period of time.
- When using power equipment in wet places, make sure the outlets have a GFI, system.
- Do not leave equipment lying around that can cause a tripping hazard at the job site.

A beautification blitz on Cleveland's east side
(Cleveland) - More than 100 volunteers from around the country came together Sunday for an unprecedented day of community revitalization on Colfax Road on Cleveland's near east side.
Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity partnered with Safeguard Properties to rehab vacant homes for new homeowners, help with exterior home repairs for existing residents, remove yard debris and make landscaping improvements.
Safeguard Properties is the largest mortgage field services company in the U.S., headquartered in Valley View, Ohio, and is holding a conference in Cleveland through Monday. Volunteers descended on Colfax in a beautification blitz.
John Habat
John Habat, executive director of Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity says they decided on concentrate their efforts on a single street to make a major impact in the area. Habat tells Newsradio WTAM his group is also building several homes on Colfax.
"This approach of helping existing residents in addition to rehabbing vacant houses for Habitat families is unprecedented for us in Cleveland," stated Habat. "We will help about 15 existing residents with improvements such as porch and fence repair, painting, landscaping and debris removal."
Volunteers rolled up their sleeves for a day of painting, landscaping and repairing homes on Colfax Road. Many residents have been living there since the 1950's and 1060's and say the beautification effort nearly restores their street to its former glory.
