SNMP Agents: Configuration: Attribute Changes
Column Display Related Tasks Related Topics
Attribute changes configure an SNMP agent to send a notification immediately after a configuration attribute is changed in any way. For example, you can configure an attribute change that sends a notification whenever a server's listen address changes.
To generate notifications only when attributes have changed in specific ways (such as the number of connections going beyond a specific threshold), or to generate notifications for changes in runtime attributes, create SNMP monitors.

The following table lists all of the data points that you can display in columns on this page.
Name Description Name The name that you specified when you created the attribute change.
Monitored MBean Type The MBean type that defines the attribute you want to monitor. Do not include the

Monitored MBean Name The name of the MBean instance that you want to monitor. If you leave the name undefined, WebLogic Server monitors all instances of the MBean type that you specify in Monitored MBean Type.
Do not enter the full JMX object name of the MBean instance. Instead, enter only the value that you provided when you created the instance. To create unique MBean object names, WebLogic Server encodes several name-value pairs into each object name. One of these pairs is

5,781 total episodes
You could try Black Cat or Trigun. Both are about gun fighters with a mysterious past and have a good chunck of humor thrown in. The ending of Black Cat was kind of weird, but its good for a few laughs. Another good anime is Law of Ueki. The premise sounds kind of strange, with a plot based on powers like turning trash into trees and a batttle to be Spirt (?) King, but its better then it first appears. Over all the fights are interesting and its very funny. Its one of my top favorite anime. Unfortunately its also around 50 episodes, but if thats not to long for you I would give it a try, the characters reminded me a lot of Naruto and One Piece.
Hunter x Hunter (2011) is a good amine. It currentlly has around 130 episodes, so its up there with Bleach and Naruto (in that asepct at least). THe main character is kind of Luffy like, he acts without thinking and protects his friends, and there are some cool fight scenes. I think you should check it out.
Yo!! XD I like anime, if you know any good ones please recomend them *-*

A legacy of the 1994 Genocide, the affects of HIV and AIDS has forced poor families living in Nyagatare district in the eastern province of Rwanda to sell off their land in order to pay for their medical expenses, leaving women and children particularly exposed to poverty. The cost of health care creates a vicious circle: the affected individuals resorting to the sale of their land in order to raise funds reduces their potential to grow crops and raise an income in the future.
RDO will introduce mushroom farming to 20 cooperative members, a total of 1,200 individuals. Mushroom production is cost-effective, requires small space and uses limited fertilizers. This has the potential to create jobs, income and provide food. Funds are needed for the initial investment to put in place the infrastructure, equipment and skills to grow and sell mushrooms. Once in place, the produce will raise the incomes of the cooperative members, reducing the need for repeat investment.
The initial investment is a one-off requirement. Once the infrastructure is in place, and training carried out, the project will become self-sufficient. The crops will provide the necessary seeds to commence the following is maintained. The additional income will help maintain the long term health of the affected individuals and, in tandem with other projects, reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).

jnogoods needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 188 designs submitted by 48 freelance designers.
Our company is to help students explore their local area by telling them about local companies. We want to show that we are friendly, quirky but serious about what we do. Since our market is students, we want to come across as edgy and trendy too.
They are university students. They are in the age range 18-25.
We need a logo featuring the brand name. The name is "helloUni". Could have the hello in upper case too.
We want it to be edgy and quirky, but still looking professional. We do not want something that looks corporate. We would also like it to be simple and minimalistic rather than complex. However, we still want it to be powerful.(examples of things we like are Orange, 3 mobile)
I think the "hello" and the "Uni" should be in different fonts, and for the "hello" to look hand written and perhaps a little scruffy, without looking bad if that makes sense.
Bright colours rather than dull ones, (ie. reds and yellows rather than blue and black) but not too many different colours as still want it to look simple.
The word "Uni" will be changed to vairous universities too so this will have to be taken into account (ie. there will have to be enough room to do this so the "Uni" can't be enclosed in anything)

Go Daddy's One (Fabulous) Ass Closer to Revealing New Girl. Full Identity Will Come During Super Bowl
The identity of the new "Go Daddy Girl" won't be revealed until the Super Bowl in Dallas in just under two weeks, but the company is dropping hints as to whom it's going to be in the form of body parts -- including the photo of the new girl's ass the Scottsdale-based company released this morning.
See the ass, apparently belonging to the new "Go Daddy Girl," below.
"We are going to out-Go Daddy ourselves with this one," Go Daddy's CEO and founder Bob Parsons says. "Who is she? I can tell you our new Go Daddy Girl is a big name -- she's iconic, she's edgy, she's off the hook funny and as long as I don't talk too much, I think most everyone will be absolutely shocked!"
Today's ass shot comes just days after the company released photos of the new "Go Daddy Girl's" legs. You can check out those stems by clicking here.

Go Daddy aired its first racey TV ad during the 2005 Super Bowl. The ad, the company claims, is known as "the most effective commercial ever to have aired just once," because it depicted a spoof of Janet Jackson's infamous wardrobe malfunction and was pulled before it was aired a second time.
"The censorship triggered controversy and helped boost Go Daddy from a new market share of 16 percent before the 2005 Super Bowl to 25 percent of all new domain-name registrations after the game. That number is close to 50 percent today," the company claims.
This year's ad, the company says, already has been approved by network officials.
The company says the new GoDaddy Girl has agreed to keep her identity secret. In this year's ad, titled "Unveiling," former Go Daddy Girls Danica Patrick and Jillian Michaels have roles introducing the new addition. The ad will air during the Super Bowl on February 6.

Well I've been reading a lot of reviews and articles about headphones the past few weeks. I've decided it's probably best to ask the opinions of the awesome people on this forum, since many of you have far more experience with this. I plan to use the headphones for cartoon voice-overs and composing instrumental music. I'd be using them solely on my laptop and desktop, probably wouldn't buy an amp at least right away.
What would be the best for my needs? My budget is up to 200 but I could toss in another 50 if there's one slightly more that's considerably better at inducing eargasms. Thanks for your knowledgeable opinions I appreciate it!

Teachers and supporters rally in Williams Lake
On their fourth day of full-strike action teachers in Williams Lake and many supporters participated in a rally held outside of Marie Sharpe Elementary School.
Titled Walk-a-Block for Education, the event also attracted members from other unions.
British Columbia Teachers' Federation executive member at large, Teresa Grandinetti, came from Coquitlam to offer words of solidarity.
"We could have a deal by Monday if the government was willing to negotiate," she said.
Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers' Association president Murray Helmer said it's bigger than a salary issue for the teachers.
"We have a good public education system in B.C. because of strong contracts that have preserved things like staffing levels. It didn't just happen."
Both Grandinetti and Helmer said the main focus now is to get Vince Ready in to mediate the dispute.
However, on Friday afternoon the BC Public Schools Employer's Association issued a statement to media saying it supports getting a mediator involved in the dispute, and the "sooner the better," but that Vince Ready isn't available until next week because he is out of the province.
"BCPSEA is concerned that the BCTF's demand is motivated by public relations rather than a genuine desire for successful mediation," the statement said.
"Mr. Iker has contacted the Minister's office this morning, and the Minister asked Mr. Iker to call Peter Cameron, BCPSEA chief negotiator. Mr. Cameron has also emailed Mr. Iker asking Mr. Iker to contact him. This has not happened as of the time of this statement."
Videos of Grandinetti and Helmer speaking at the rally are on the Tribune's Facebook Page.

Back in 1987, then-state Rep. and 54th Ward Democratic leader Max Pievsky sent one of his committee people, Annamarie Feeney, for a job interview as a congressional aide.
Feeney was offered and accepted the job.
"Twenty-six years later, I'm still here," she said.
The member of Congress has changed a couple of times. So has the location of the district office. Even the congressional district number changed following redistricting.
But Feeney has been the consistent go-to person for many people in the Northeast who need help from their local congressional office.
During Public Service Recognition Week on May 5-11, U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz said she believes Feeney has been a terrific public servant. Schwartz called Feeney "steady" and "knowledgeable," adding that she can cut through government red tape.
"Annamarie has been a very important and valuable asset in the office and for the constituents in Northeast Philadelphia," the congresswoman said. "She has really wonderful personal relationships with constituents. They are her top priority."
Feeney, 65, is a Little Flower High School graduate. She spent 30 years living in Oxford Circle and some time in the Far Northeast. She even lived in Yardley, Bucks County, but only for less than a year.
"I hated it. I missed Philadelphia," she said.
Today, she and her husband, Paul, live in the Arbours at Eagle Point, the development at Southampton Road and Roosevelt Boulevard.
"It's a great community. The people are friendly," she said.
Feeney, who has two adult children and two grandchildren, was previously self-employed in the accounting, income tax and real estate fields.
Long active in politics, she remains a 66th Ward committeewoman, along with her daughter Michele Siletta.
Feeney's first congressional boss was Rep. Bob Borski, who retired in 2002. The 3rd Congressional District office was located at 7141 Frankford Ave.
Rep. Joe Hoeffel, who had represented a Montgomery County district, replaced Borski in the new city/suburban 13th Congressional District. The office moved a block north to 7219 Frankford Ave. Hoeffel left in 2004, losing a challenge to Sen. Arlen Specter.
Schwartz replaced Hoeffel and kept his office for eight years. However, Rep. Bob Brady took Schwartz's territory east of Frankford Avenue in the latest redistricting, and the office relocated in December to 7712 Castor Ave. in Rhawnhurst.
The phone number hasn't changed over the years. It's always been 215-335-3355.
"We still get phone calls asking for Bob Borski," Feeney said.
So, which boss did Feeney like the best?
"I love them all," she said.
The 13th district will have a new representative in 2015, since Schwartz is running for governor next year.
"I think she'd be a fabulous governor," Feeney said.
If Schwartz were to become governor, it's possible Feeney could land a spot on her staff.
But, Feeney prefers working at the federal level.
"I love the job and I love the people," she said.
Feeney would be willing to work for the next congressional representative.
"I've been very fortunate to get picked up by each congressperson," she said. "I'm hoping whoever wins the seat picks me up. They're all good candidates."
At the start, she was a constituent service representative. At present, she serves as a senior constituent service representative.
"I've been here so long, they made me a senior," she joked.
Feeney told co-worker Terrell Johnson, who started recently, that he will grow to love the job. Also working at the Castor Avenue office on a part-time basis is Rob Borski, the ex-congressman's son and recent Temple graduate. Schwartz also has an office in Abington.
Over the years, Feeney said she's worked with some great people, including Jack Dempsey, the district director under Borski and Hoeffel.
On the job, she handles issues such as Medicare, Social Security, IRS, Veterans Affairs, immigration, passports and federal employee retirement benefits.
"It's such a rewarding job," she said. "We do help a lot of people."
Feeney recalls one woman who was unable to obtain a passport because she didn't have a proper Pennsylvania birth certificate. Thanks to the congressional office, the passport issue was resolved the day before the woman was going away to an island resort.
"She was crying, she was so happy," Feeney recalled.
Although Feeney and her current and former bosses are staunch Democrats, she said a district congressional office is there to help all constituents. Sometimes, people call and say, "I'm a Republican," before asking for help. Feeney's response is, "So?"
Feeney is humbled whenever she receives thank you cards, candy and flowers from appreciative constituents, but said the gifts aren't necessary.
"That's my job. I'm here to help people," she said. ••

In development since 2010—way back before "music" became the system of clicks and whistles emitted by animatronic robots we all embrace now—Martin Scorsese, his Boardwalk Empire partner Terence Winter, and Mick Jagger had an idea for an HBO show set behind the scenes of the music biz. After three years of intermittent progress, now Deadline says that show's Bobby Cannavale is in talks to star, similarly bringing his experience with intimidation, shady business practices, and erotic asphyxiation to another industry built on all three of those things. Cannavale would play "Richie, a cocaine-fueled record exec in NYC circa 1977, when punk, disco and a new form of music called hip-hop collided," then all of those were set aside in favor of playing Ram Jam's "Black Betty" on repeat. And even though the as-yet-untitled series still doesn't have an official green light, with Cannavale close to starring and a writing staff being assembled, it's now moving toward a 2014 shoot—just about the time we should be even more nostalgic for "music," in between blasting the latest rhythmic bursts of static.

The national results presented on this website are based on nationally representative probability samples of twelfth-grade students. The sample was chosen using a stratified two-stage design that involved sampling students from selected schools (public and nonpublic) across the country.
Each selected school that participated in the assessment and each student assessed represents a portion of the population of interest. Sampling weights are needed to make valid inferences from the student samples to the representative populations from which they were drawn. Sampling weights account for disproportionate representation of students from different states and for students who attend nonpublic schools. Sampling weights also account for lower sampling rates for very small schools and are used to adjust for school and student nonresponse. See a table summarizing the participation rates for schools and students.
For the 2006 economics assessment, accommodations for students with disabilities (SD) and English language learners (ELL) were permitted for the entire sample of students. To learn more, read about the NAEP inclusion policy.

America! With Tony Stark looking more emo than ever in everything we've seen so far in "Iron Man 3," we could use a bit of fist-pumping heroics, and it looks like Don Cheadle is here to provide it.
A brand new poster for the upcoming Marvel flick has dropped featuring the actor all geared up in his Iron Patriot suit, posing for the camera, while….is that a plane exploding in the background? Might be worth turning around, Rhodey… Anyway, with Cheadle taking center stage, unless this is just the first of an endless array of character posters (let's hope not), we presume he's stepping into a bigger role, perhaps as Iron Man himself goes out of commission thanks to the dastardly Mandarin (Ben Kingsley).
Take a look below and the whole shebang in all its flag-waving glory. Gwyneth Paltrow, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall and many more join the battle on May 3rd. [The Daily Blam]

Spell A DaySimple Balance RitualSpell Date: Monday, July 15, 2013
Color of the day: White
Incense of the day: Clary Sage
The only constant is change. One of the aims of magic is staying awake to this change as it plays out in our lives, so we can maintain holistic balance and harmony in all life areas. Today is an excellent day to do just that.
Write down your balance related goals in present tense, as if they're already true; for example: "I always have plenty of time," "I exercise moderation in my caffeine intake," "My energy level is steady and strong," and so on. Place your list face up on a plate. Then carve the word BALANCE into a purple candle. Hold the candle in both hands, close your eyes, and take some deep breaths. Conjure up a feeling of deep well-being and divine equilibrium, and direct this feeling into the candle. Set the candle on top of the list and light it. Sprinkle dried chamomile and rosemary on the list around the candle's base.

When it comes to plate shopping, how formal you are will determine how much money you spend. We say this because plastic—yes, plastic—is in style again. You'll hear it called melamine, and it's made into plates with colorful, wonderful patterns designed to mix and match. However, if you're the kind of person who wants everything to look perfectly uniform, or would feel seriously weird about serving filet mignon on plastic plates, then shell out for porcelain or earthenware (ceramic).
Look for sets that can be used with many different textiles or with pieces you already have (we don't think everything has to match). It also doesn't hurt to check with the manufacturer to see if it offers replacement pieces on discontinued patterns.
Welmade Fine Bone China
Unica Home, $85 for four pieces
Once only spotted at Grandma's, china is now unfussy and dishwasher safe. Bone china is the most durable, with a creamy base color, but it's made with a labor-intensive process (mixing bone ash with clay), so it's pricier. The Welmade lace pattern crockery is bold, with the traditional lace-trim motif over the entire plate.
Classic Century Dinnerware
Crate and Barrel, $252.95 for a 20-piece setLarge housewares stores like Crate and Barrel carry neutral styles that make great foundation pieces. The sensuous earthenware Classic Century Dinnerware from the "mother of modern," industrial designer Eva Zeisel, is one of our favorites. A CHOW staffer had it on her bridal registry.
Thomas Paul Gothic Dinner Plate Set
Velocity, $61.60 for eight plates
Designer Thomas Paul is credited with helping resurrect melamine dinnerware from the 1950s and '60s. Cheaper and picnic friendly (but not microwave safe), the lines often only feature plates. So make sure your selections look good with monochromatic pieces you may already have: We paired Paul's Gothic plates with a cheap mug and bowl from CHOW's test kitchen.

Looks amazing. Honking down with rain here. Does Dawn live there full time or just for holidays?
Allons a La Grande-Motte
Trip Start

Trip End
Oct 15, 2011
The trip went pretty smoothly until we came across stopped cars around a bend on a motorway. Fortunately we stopped and no-one piled into us. We crawled along for simply ages until we came across the cause - a shocking accident.
We arrived at the apartment at lunchtime. It is great to see Dawn again.
After a large lunch, we chatted until the early evening when we went for a walk around the town, enjoying the atmosphere of families and friends in cafes and on the beach. We stopped for a drink before heading back to the apartment.
Heaps more chat, then off to bed.
Bon nuit!

Casey Anthony could go free after murder acquittal Associated Press , By KYLE HIGHTOWER Associated Press 2:59 PM, Jul 6, 2011 3:35 PM, Jul 6, 2011 Share Article Previous Next smiles after being acquitted of murdering her 2-year-old daughter. Copyright 2011 Scripps Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The not guilty verdict that could free Casey Anthony by this weekend stunned spectators, legal pundits and the prosecutors who failed to prove she killed her toddler daughter. A day later, jurors were declining to say how they came to their quick decision, and even murkier was Anthony's relationship with parents who haven't talked to her since the trial ended.A case that involved years of forensic investigation, weeks of testimony and untold hours of media analysis was ultimately decided by jurors in less than 11 hours. Early in their second day of deliberations, the 12 men and women concluded Tuesday that Anthony lied to investigators but wasn't guilty in the death of her 2-year-old daughter.Now Anthony waits to learn if she could spend her first night out of jail in almost three years. She was only convicted of four misdemeanor counts of lying to investigators, and it's possible that the judge could sentence her Thursday to time already served. The lying counts each carry a maximum sentence of one year.It's not clear whether Anthony would be welcomed back to the house the 25-year-old single mother once shared with her daughter and parents. George and Cindy Anthony left court quickly without hugging or saying anything to their daughter after the verdict was read. Their attorney, Mark Lippman, told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Wednesday that they hadn't spoken with their daughter since the verdict.Anthony has been in jail since her October 2008 arrest on first-degree murder charges. The case began in July of that year when Caylee Anthony was reported missing."I'm very happy for Casey, ecstatic for her and I want her to be able to grieve and grow and somehow get her life back together," defense attorney Jose Baez said Tuesday. "I think this case is a perfect example of why the death penalty does not work ... Murder is not right, no matter who does it."Tears welled in Anthony's eyes, her face reddened, her lips trembled, and she began breathing heavily as she listened to the verdict. She was found not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter and aggravated child abuse.Prosecutor Jeff Ashton told NBC's "Today" show Wednesday that the verdict left him and other prosecutors in shock."I think I mouthed the word `wow' about five times," he said.Ashton said he respects the way the jury handled the case, and that he believes they applied the law as they understood it."Beyond a reasonable doubt is a high standard," he said.The jurors - seven women and five men - would not talk to the media, and their identities were kept secret by the court.But alternate juror Russell Huekler said he feels compassion for Casey Anthony and hopes she gets help because she can "no longer live a life of lies."Huekler told The Associated Press that he was shocked to learn of the public's anger over the jury's acquittal of Anthony on a murder charge."Those 12 jurors, they worked really, really hard," said Huekler, who wasn't involved in deliberations but sat through more than 33 days of testimony as an alternate. "I'm sure they looked at the law and the evidence that was presented and unfortunately, the prosecution didn't meet their burden of proof."Prosecutors contended that Anthony suffocated Caylee with duct tape because she wanted to be free to hit the nightclubs and spend time with her boyfriend.Defense attorneys argued that the little girl accidentally drowned in the family swimming pool and that Anthony panicked and hid the body because of the traumatic effects of being sexually abused by her father. George Anthony denied the defense's allegations that he abused Casey and helped her cover up Caylee's death.Many in the crowd of about 500 people outside the courthouse Tuesday reacted with anger after the verdict was read, chanting, "Justice for Caylee!" One man yelled, "Baby killer!" Many court-watchers were stunned by the outcome.The case played out on national television almost from the moment Caylee was reported missing. CNN's Nancy Grace dissected the case at every turn with the zeal of the prosecutor she once was, arguing that Anthony was responsible for her daughter's death. The TV host turned the term "tot mom" into shorthand for Anthony.Anthony's attorney Cheney Mason blasted the media after the verdict."Well, I hope that this is a lesson to those of you having indulged in media assassination for three years, bias, prejudice and incompetent talking heads saying what would be and how to be," Mason said."I'm disgusted by some of the lawyers that have done this, and I can tell you that my colleagues from coast to coast and border to border have condemned this whole process of lawyers getting on television and talking about cases that they don't know a damn thing about."State's Attorney Lawson Lamar said prosecutors on his staff were disappointed with the verdict, but he also lamented the lack of hard evidence."This is a dry-bones case. Very, very difficult to prove. The delay in recovering little Caylee's remains worked to our considerable disadvantage," he said.Caylee's disappearance went unreported by her own mother for a month. The child's decomposed body was eventually found in the woods near her grandparents' home six months after she was last seen. A medical examiner was never able to establish how she died.The case became a macabre tourist attraction in Orlando. People camped outside for seats in the courtroom, and scuffles broke out among those desperate to watch the drama unfold.Because of publicity in Orlando, jurors were brought in from the Tampa Bay area and sequestered for the entire trial.In closing arguments, prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick showed the jury one image of Anthony partying during the month Caylee was missing and another of the she got a day before law enforcement learned of the child's disappearance. The tattoo was of the Italian words for "beautiful life.""At the end of this case, all you have to ask yourself is whose life was better without Caylee?" Burdick asked. "This is your answer."Prosecutors also hammered away at the lies Anthony told when the child was missing: She told her parents that she couldn't produce Caylee because the girl was with a nanny named Zanny - a woman who doesn't exist; that she and her daughter were spending time with a rich boyfriend who doesn't exist; and that Zanny had been hospitalized after an out-of-town traffic crash and that they were spending time with her.But Baez said during closing arguments that the prosecutors' case was so weak they tried to portray Anthony as "a lying, no-good slut" and that their forensic evidence was based on a "fantasy." He said Caylee's death was "an accident that snowballed out of control."The verdict divided those who have been following the case.Ti McLeod, who lives near the Anthony family, said, "The justice system has failed Caylee." Jodie Ickes, who lives a mile away from the Anthonys, said she is against the death penalty and was glad that Casey wasn't facing execution. "I'm comfortable with the outcome," she concluded.Among the trial spectators was 51-year-old Robin Wilkie, who said she has spent $3,000 on hotels and food since arriving June 10 from Lake Minnetonka, Minn. She tallied more than 100 hours standing in line to wait for tickets and got into the courtroom 15 times."True crime has become a unique genre of entertainment," Wilkie said. "Her stories are so extreme and fantastic, it's hard to believe they're true, but that's what engrosses people. This case has sex, lies and videotapes - just like on reality TV."---Associated Press writer Tamara Lush contributed to this report from St. Petersburg, Fla. Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

Pie Chart - Labeled Input
I am trying to generalize the following PieChart function where I can programmatically change the number of labeled pieces in the pie. PieChart[{Labeled[1,"label 1","VerticalCallout"],Labeled[2,"label 2","VerticalCallout"],Labeled[3,"label 3","VerticalCallout"]},PlotRange->1.5] For e.g. given the following three lists, how can one form the input that the Pie Chart function above expects? lst1 = {1,2,3} lst2 = {"label 1", "label 2", "label 3"} lst3 = Table["VerticalCallout", {Length[lst1]}] For e.g. if one makes a single list of the three lists above and then tries to map the Labeled function over each element of this single list, a syntax error is generated: (1) singleList = Flatten[#]& /@ Transpose[{lst1, Transpose[{lst2,lst3}]}] (2) Labeled[#]& /@ singleList Mathematica does not like statement 2 because Labeled is expecting more than one input. The obvious direct "solution" above is a loser. Don

For the nine honorees in this year's Providence Business News Chief Financial Officer Awards program, the math is the easy part. But what sets this group of financial executives apart is their impact beyond the numbers.
For example, the career-achievement award winner, Jeffrey A. Burchill, CFO for FM Global, has needed to do far more than juggle investing strategy, risk assessments and clients from 130 countries (as if that weren't enough!).
When he was appointed CFO of the global property and casualty insurer, he had to merge the systems and cultures of five different insurance companies. He did that so well that in the decade-and-a-half since, FM Global has grown yearly revenue fivefold. Today, he spends a lot of time meeting clients wherever they are, and is given credit by company Chairman and CEO Shivan S. Subramaniam with playing a significant role in its 90 percent client-retention rate.
DiPrete Engineering Associates CFO Christopher J. Ready has taken the time to educate the engineers of the firm on how to understand the financial implications of what they do, turning them into true stakeholders in the operation and not just the technical talent.
And Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island CFO Mike Hudson hit the ground running. Within his first year on the job he was able to diffuse concerns about rate increases through timely research and outreach, as well as start the transition from fee-for-service contracts with health care providers to those built around quality metrics.
As is always the case, PBN recognition programs depend on the engagement of sponsors, and the 2013 edition of the CFO Awards in no exception. Presenting sponsor is KPMG, and partner sponsors are Bryant University, Cox Business, Gencorp and TD Bank. Join them, and us, in congratulating these outstanding financial professionals.

It spreads.
Just months after the Big Apple made it illegal to serve sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces in restaurants, movie theaters and delis, other cities also are considering putting restrictions on soft drinks, part of a multi-front effort to address American's growing obesity problem.
It's a move that, if it picks up steam, could rock the multibillion-dollar industry that's led by Atlanta-based Coca-Cola. Carbonated drinks -- for the most part, sodas -- constitute almost half of the industry's business and almost 24 percent of drinks in movie theaters and restaurants.
That's left the beverage industry scrambling, sinking millions into media campaigns that portray the measures as Big Brother interfering in personal choice. The industry also has filed a lawsuit challenging New York's law and is stepping up its efforts to put calorie counts on vending machines and to offer sodas in smaller cans.
"The reality is the decision in New York that affirmed Mayor (Michael) Bloomberg probably gives mayors in other cities a way to make a statement like that," said Tim Mescon, an economist and president of Columbus State University.
Since 2009, municipalities across the nation and around the world have launched efforts to either tax or limit sugar-sweetened drinks in some public buildings, schools and even churches, according to the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity.
On any given day, about half of the population over the age of 2 consumes a sugary drink, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. At the same time, Americans are heavier now than ever. A recent report by Trust for America's Health found that, by 2030, the U.S. could have an adult obesity rate above 44 percent.
Members of Washington, D.C.'s City Council said in October that they may soon follow New York's lead with restrictions of their own. And Henrietta Davis, the mayor of Cambridge, Mass., the home of Harvard University, proposed restrictions similar to New York's in June.
Leaders at Coca-Cola declined to comment on the latest efforts to curb the consumption of sodas, referring all questions to the American Beverage Association, the industry's lobbying arm. But in June, when Bloomberg announced the restrictions, Coca-Cola was quick to comment.
"New Yorkers expect and deserve better than this," the company said. "They can make their own choices about the beverages they purchase. We hope New Yorkers loudly voice their disapproval about this arbitrary mandate." Company representatives have met with Washington, D.C. officials to discuss their concerns about Coke products and its role in obesity.
Already, Coca-Cola had been taking steps to better diversify its portfolio with less sugary products. The beverage giant has seen sales of its carbonated drinks drop over the past decade as Americans have become more conscious about what they drink and attempted to eschew sugar.
For the past five years, the company has offered more teas, waters and reduced-sugar drinks. Now, Coca-Cola has 800 low- or no-calorie options, said a global sustainability report released last week.
At the same time, the Coca-Cola Foundation has donated millions to organizations that promote exercise, including most recently the Association of C5 Youth Programs in Atlanta, which received $50,000, and the Center Helping Obesity in Children End Successfully in Kennesaw, which was given $25,000.
That doesn't mean the company has given up on sugary drinks.
Coca-Cola is still said to be interested in buying Monster, the mega-energy drink brand whose products can have as much sugar as a regular Coke or more. And it has introduced smaller-sized cans for regular Coke lovers who want to reduce their sugar consumption.
But, in the third quarter, sales for Coca-Cola's no-calorie Coke Zero line increased while numbers for its popular regular Coke and Diet Coke were flat.
The impact New York's size limitation could have on Coca-Cola's bottom line is unknown because it hasn't gone into effect. Once it does, the company will know how the public will react, whether they'll now buy two soft drinks instead of one, or adapt and settle for drinking less.
Meanwhile, there are those who disagree with government restrictions on how much sugar the public is allowed to drink. Beverage Digest Publisher and Editor John Sicher called the measures misguided, and he said he doesn't think they will become a trend because cities "will not follow a bad idea."

Based on shape and snout, I'd say Labeotropheus trewavasae. There are several different collection points (color morphs) in the profiles section (under Malawi - Mbuna). None of the pics look exactly like yours, but West Thumbi Is. seems the closest. FYI that round fleshy snout is the giveway for the Labeotropheus genus.

Game 85: Rangers at Yankees
Damon LF
Jeter SS
Abreu RF
Rodriguez 3B
Giambi DH
Posada C
Cano 2B
Betemit 1B
Gardner CF
Ponson RHP
Sir Sidney Ponson (5-1, 3.50) vs. the Texas hitters.
RHP Luis Mendoza (1-2, 5.40) has never faced any of the Yankees.
Notes: Thanks to Brian Heyman for calling in the lineup. … Melky was 0 for 19 and has one RBI since June 17. Gardner is 0 for 6 with two strikeouts since coming up. Now would be a good time to start getting on base. Ninth might be a perfect spot for him. … The Yankees have lost seven of 11 and four of six. … Dan Giese as a reliever: 5 games, 9.1 innings, 7 hits, 1 run, 2 walks, 5 strikeouts. … Dave Robertson has thrown 78 pitches in his four innings of relief, 50 of them strikes. Decent ratio, lots of pitches… Betemit (6 of his last 17, four runs, two RBI) has been less helpless of late at the plate.
The Yankees have scored seven runs in their last four games. They are 22 of 133 at the plate (.165) with 10 walks and 35 strikeouts. That includes going 5 of 32 with RISP, which has resulted in 25 LOB.
This game marks the reunion of Sidney Ponson and the Rangers, who released him in early June for conduct unbecoming a Ranger. In an unusual move. GM Jon Daniels and manager Ron Washington spoke about how selfish and self-centered Ponson was. Rumors had him confronting Washington and other players and getting rowdy in bars.
"I got nothing bad to say about Sidney," Washington told Texas writers. "We all know Sidney can pitch. Sidney's got his own problems, and he just didn't fit in Texas. Maybe he'll chill out over there, maybe they can keep him calm or do whatever they have to do."
UPDATE, 6:10 p.m.: Shelley Duncan (shoulder) and Alan Horne (arm) were placed on the DL at Scranton. Chris Stewart cleared waivers and is back with the team.
UPDATE, 7:47 p.m.: Sir Sidney had thrown eight scoreless innings before the third inning. The Yankees are down 3-1, which may as well be 30-1 the way they are hitting lately. But they do have seven innings to show a pulse. The current panic aside, they aren't that bad, are they?
UPDATE, 8:05 p.m.: Ah, of course, the 'stache delivers the big blow with an upper-deck grand slam. The Yankees really needed that. Question now is whether they can hold a 5-3 lead.
UPDATE, 8:55 p.m.: Sir Sidney has put eight men on base in five innings. This is probably the last inning for him. Then you go Veras, Krazy Kyle and Mo to nail it down. You can't mess around with this game, they need it badly.
UPDATE, 8:59 p.m.: Nobody warming up behind Ponson in the sixth inning with the middle of the lineup coming up?
UPDATE, 9:03 p.m.: How could you not trust Sidney Ponson? Just because he's been released by every team other than the Rockford Peaches is no reason not to leave the game in his hands. It's astonishing that the Yankees didn't have somebody warming up at the start of the inning.
UPDATE, 9:27 p.m.: Teams go through offensive slumps, it happens a few times every season and there is no good reason for it. The difference with this Yankees team compared to previous editions is that they do not grind through those games and figure out a way to win.
UPDATE, 9:37 p.m.: Great job by Edwar Ramirez (2 0 0 0 1 3). Too bad he wasn't in the game two batters earlier.
UPDATE, 9:43 p.m.: The Yankees have been stupid lucky in this game and will win it. Texas has allowed five unearned runs and is now trotting out some guy to make his debut in the seventh inning of a one-run game?
UPDATE, 9:50 p.m.: Like I said. Washington should be ashamed of himself.
UPDATE, 9:53 p.m.: Amazing. You bring a rookie into his first game at Yankee Stadium to protect a one-run lead in the seventh inning against Abreu, A-Rod and Giambi? Remember this game. If they go on some sort of tear now, they can thank Texas.
UPDATE, 9:57 p.m.: Good for Brett Gardner. He had been 0 for 8 before that RBI single. Meanwhile Washington just noticed the Rangers were down by four runs and made a pitching change.
UPDATE, 10:10 p.m.: Hank Steinbrenner is a genius and the Yankees are 2-0 in games started by Sir Sidney. All's well that ends well.
UPDATE, 10:17 p.m.: 15-7 lead and Krazy Kyle walks the first guy. This isn't over yet.
UPDATE, 10:23 p.m.: Whew, inning over.

If our ancestors of the late nineteenth century hitched a time-machine ride to 2009, nearly everything about the technology we use would leave them dumbstruck. They would, however, immediately recognize our computer keyboards, nearly all of which work in pretty much the same manner as the ones on Victorian-era typewriters. Which is not to say that a bevy of inventors haven't tried to improve on standard-issue QWERTY. It's just that most of their bright ideas go absolutely nowhere. Herewith, a gallery of Google Patents finds, including ones that never got off the drawing board, ones that flopped on arrival, and a few that achieved at least minor success among typists with open minds. Oh, and just for fun, there's one bizarre keyboard in here that turned out to be bizarrely successful, too.

Apple, Bring Back the Butterfly Keyboard for Netbooks
Patent filed March 8, 1875
When typewriter pioneer Christopher Sholes rearranged the alphabet for this early model's keys, he didn't do so to make typing faster or more comfortable–early typewriters jammed if you pounded the keys too swiftly, and QWERTY tended to slow typists down. Given that the initial assumption was that typewriter keys would follow the move obvious A-Z order, he also invented the bizarre keyboard. The only reason we don't think of QWERTY as being kinda odd is that it remains so omnipresent.
Patent filed May 21, 1932
Unlike Chris Sholes' QWERTY, August Dvorak's keyboard arranges characters to make fast typing easier, not harder. Dvorak failed to dislodge QWERTY, but for more than seventy-five years his brainchild has flourished as a cult item; some of the brainiest people I know swear by it. I've never tried to go Dvorak myself -- for one thing, it favors right-handed folks, and I'm a southpaw -- but the people who use one swear by it. There's probably an alternate universe where it caught on, and nobody thinks there's anything the least bit whacko about it.
Patent filed April 1, 1987
The patent for this keyboard devotes thousands of words to making the case that neophyte users will find it easier to learn keys that use little raised symbols in different colors to help them tell one key from another. I'm not buying it. (And neither, apparently, did anyone else.) Note the tiny alphanumeric characters–the keyboard is designed to let you switch between multiple layouts, such as QWERTY and straight alphabetical order.
Patent filed August 15, 1988
It's tough enough for a technologist to convince the world to adopt one jaw-droppingly different idea; asking it to embrace three of 'em is just asking for trouble. But this invention proposes (A) a unique mouse design; (B) that we use not one such mouse but two of them; and (C) that we dispense with a standard keyboard in favor of inputting characters using sunken buttons on the mice. Among the words the patent filing uses to describe this rig: improved (!), easy (!!), and intuitive (!!!). Side note: The keymice seem to be plugged into a fake classic Mac.
Patent filed March 24, 1989
The inventor responsible for this setup believed there was something ergonomic about placing a gullwinged keyboard in front of the screen on runners that let it slide up and down. Maybe. But my favorite feature is the circular arrangement of the function keys, with Ctrl, Alt, and a Shift button forming a peace symbol in the middle. I also like the jigsaw-like shape of the Enter key.
Patent filed November 3, 1989
It may look like a game controller, but this is an alphanumeric keyboard–one which puts some buttons under your thumb and others under your fingers, uses chording to provide a full complement of characters, and doubles as a gyroscopic mouse. Unlike some designs here, this one reached the market, as Handkey's Twiddler. It appears to be unavailable at the moment but is promised in a modern USB version.
Patent filed March 19, 1990
Lots of "ergonomic" keyboards have a gentle swoop to their case, but this one is shaped–well, like a lap. It's meant to rest on your thighs while in use–dig the kneeholes on its bottom. It brings to mind visions of a laptop in the same radically curved shape. And no, I'm not sure why it appears to have two full-sized spacebars.
Patent filed September 10, 1990
As far as I can tell, there is no keyboard configuration so inherently silly that someone hasn't claimed it was ergonomically ideal in a patent filing. This design involves two half-keyboards connected by a strap; you were supposed to drape them over your monitor–yes, the one in this picture looks like a microwave oven–and type by raising your hands to the sides of your display as if you were about to hug it.
Filed January 27, 1992
The gent in this picture is sitting back and enjoying a keyboard that looks like a high-tech hand-dryer and places half the keys in a well on the left and the other half in a well on the right; it's not clear in the picture, but you place this gizmo in your lap. The goal was to reduce the risk of repetitive-stress injuries, and as with many of the keyboard here I don't understand how you were supposed to learn to use it given that the keys aren't visible when in use.
Patent filed February 25, 1992
Call this the TREWQ keyboard–or, if you prefer, the YUIOP. It's both, because it's designed to be used with one hand, and puts two letters of the alphabet on most of its keys. The layout preserves compatibility with QWERTY by sort of folding it in half. Inventor Edgar Matias formed a company that sells a keyboard based on this idea, although today's Half Keyboard folds the layout the other way, which feels more logical.
Patent filed October 9, 1992
Yup, this is an office chair with a keyboard split in two and placed on the armrests. In order to use it, you'd need not only to use the layout but to be so comfortable with it that you could do so without seeing the keys–by definition, all typing would be touch-typing. (Maybe that's why the patent filing repeatedly says this would be in addition to a standard keyboard, not in replacement of it.) The cable hanging off the right armrest is a nice touch, but if this product were to be brought to market today, it would presumably all be done via Bluetooth.
Patent filed April 20, 1993
The guy using this keyboard in the illustration appears to be happy–guys in patent illustrations always do–but this gizmo looks anything but comfy to me. (On the other hand, it would go great with the pyramid mouse.) I can't decide if he looks more like he's conducting a seance of some sort or giving his keyboard a massage.
Patent filed August 20, 1993
The illustration looks like it's of a keyboard that's been in a dreadful accident, but this patent is actually for snap-on caps you fasten onto a garden-variety keyboard to–in theory–make it more comfortable. The ones on the right on the long stalks are especially unsettling.
Patent filed October 21, 1997
How can you cushion hands from the harshness of extended typing on a hard, plasticky keyboard? With…cushions! The blobby things interspersed with standard keys in this drawing are special pillow-top keys designed to be kind to your fingers; note also the palm rests and the unique shape of the space bar. Among the things that leap to mind when I look at this: a mushroom garden and/or a mouth full of really bad teeth.
Patent filed June 18, 1998
At first blush, the keyboard in this patent appears to have a rare QWERUI layout, and to be missing six characters. Actually, the top illustration shows the keyboard in the process of being opened up, revealing a numeric keypad and various other keys in the middle. It was meant for use in subnotebooks and would have operable in either closed or expanded mode. In this era of netbooks, maybe it's time to give the idea a try? Okay, no, not really.
Patent filed June 26, 1998
Here's an early iteration of RIM's BlackBerry keyboard, from back when the BlackBerry was a superpager, not a smartphone. Its descendants are used on most BlackBerries to this day, and it's been imitated by just about every phone company except Apple. I still remember reviewing the first BlackBerry way back when–I gawked at the keyboard and deemed it peculiar. Then I tried it, and I believed. I include this landmark idea in this gallery as a reminder that "weird" and "successful" aren't mutually exclusive concepts.
Patent filed July 29, 1998
Most alternative keyboard layouts (including QWERTY) look like they might have been generated randomly in an attempt to confuse us. This one, however, is radically straightforward: It starts with A and ends with Z, and sticks four punctuation marks in the middle. (Don't ask me why it includes a semi-colon but not a colon.)
Patent filed December 31, 1998
In the future -- as defined more than a decade ago in this patent, anyhow -- we'll all live much of our lives in virtual worlds that involve strapping on special goggles and wearing gloves with cables running out of them. These alternate universes will have PCs -- ones that look just like 1998 desktops, with both 5.25-inch and 3.5-inch floppy drives. And we'll be able to enter information into these virtual PCs by just typing in mid-air as if there were a keyboard beneath our fingertips. Impressive. Inventive. Hopelessly goofy.
Patent filed February 11, 2000
Sometimes, science fiction becomes amazing reality–and fails to change the world. Canesta's technology lets handheld devices project a full-screen keyboard onto a tabletop; it functioned well enough that the company used to demo it at tradeshows. But I know of no shipping devices that has incorporated it. Seems like if it works adequately it could still be a welcome smartphone addition–I'd find it handy on airplanes, anyhow.
Patent filed August 18, 2000
This keyboard was meant for use in handheld devices, and whatever it gained in compactness, it lost in sheer weirdness. Some of the keys pivot up into place, and the layout bears just enough resemblance to QWERTY to make all the ways it diverges from it even more confusing. You were supposed to use your left hand to type on the larger section, and your right on to type on the pivoting addendum–I think. As with all keyboard patents, the filing for this one confidently explains how quick and efficient this all was.
Patent filed August 15, 2001
Here's the patent for Prodikeys, an eductional device that's two, two, two keyboards in one–it packs both QWERTY and a musical keyboard. Prodikeys was invented by Creative Technologizer's founder, Sim Wong Hoo, who demonstrated the first version to me personally. It's at least somewhat more practical than the patent drawing suggests, and quite a bit of fun–and Creative sells several models to this day. By the standards of oddball keyboards, it's a hit. Or at least not a failure.

Lands' End provides clothing you can count on and service that's second to none, not to mention the benefit
of our School Rewards program. But don't take it from us. Here's why schools across the country have chosen Lands' End over the rest.
Westminster Chimes in
When Westminster Christian Academy, an independent college preparatory school in St. Louis, Missouri, moved to its new campus in 2011, Head of School Jim Marsh realized it was time to make another change.
"Dress had become a distraction," says Marsh. Enforcing the dress code for a school serving nearly 1000 students in grades 7-12 was proving a tall order. "The fact that we were moving to a new campus gave us a perfect opportunity to make some culture changes," adds Marsh. "We were looking for something distinctive…so that our students both here at school but also in the community would be recognized as students from Westminster Christian Academy."
Marsh explains that the school kept several objectives in mind while searching for a uniform supplier. "We wanted it to be simple, easily enforced, easily facilitated through a website," he says.
"The Lands' End reps gave us all the information we needed, they were always there whenever we needed them," says Executive Assistant Becky Van Valkenburg. "They also gave us a dedicated phone number" Because parents order directly from Lands' End via the school's custom website, "we have not had to manage sizing or keep quantities of clothing for the kids," she adds.
The school also took affordability and durability into consideration.
"We landed on Lands' End pretty quickly," says Marsh, "a lot of that had to do with the Lands' End brand, the quality of the clothing. There's a significant confidence level regarding the help and support we receive from Lands' End."
If the school administration is pleased with the uniform program, so are students and their parents. "The quality of the clothing is better than they're going to find anywhere else," notes Van Valkenburg.
"It washes well, it lasts a long time and I love the Lands' End guarantee," says Michelle Burke, Public Relations Strategist and also a Westminster parent.
Carson, a sophomore, admits he was a little apprehensive about the introduction of uniforms. However, he now prefers them. "They're comfortable and they look nice," he says.
According to Katie Weinberg, Receptionist and also a mom of three students, "most of the parents have enjoyed the simplicity of having uniforms that they know are appropriate for school."
"It's so easy to wake up in the morning, know what you're going to wear, know what you're supposed to put on," says Megan, another tenth-grader.
Westminster has approved a broad selection of clothing, so students have flexibility in their wardrobe and can add their own individual touches while adhering to the uniform guidelines. From button-down shirts to polos, and from shorts to plaid skirts, both boys and girls at Westminster have plenty of options, and proudly sport the school's blue-and-white colors.
As Haley, a freshman, explains, "you can mix and match. You always have something to wear."
Van Valkenburg notes that uniforms have relieved some of the peer pressure students feel to conform to changing fashions and have made the school more inclusive of students from all socioeconomic levels. "They all feel like they're on a level playing field," she says.
As a Lands' End Preferred School, Westminster Christian Academy earns a percentage back on every piece of uniform clothing sold. Marsh explains that the school has reinvested these funds in families needing financial assistance, providing each with a $50 gift card to help with uniform purchases.
Both staff and students agree that uniforms have changed Westminster for the better.
As Marsh affirms, "we just have a culture now that's more reflective of a school serious about learning."

NEST+m: a formula for success
What's in a name? For one school in New York City, its name and educational mission are one. NEST+m is an acronym for "New Explorations Into Science, Technology and Math." And before you ask, it is officially pronounced "NEST plus M."
"We are the only K through 12 gifted and talented school in the New York City public school system," explains principal Olga Livanis.
Although the school is subdivided into a Lower School (K-5), a Middle School (6-8) and an Upper School (9-12), all grade levels occupy a single building in Manhattan's Lower East Side. The NEST+m curriculum progresses seamlessly from kindergarten to graduation.
While the school is focused on the sciences, world languages, the humanities and music are also key components of the challenging curriculum – the airy modernist building contains an art gallery and dance studio as well as science labs. Students are also required to perform a minimum of 60 hours of community service to graduate.
Although a relatively young school – NEST+m opened its doors in 2001 – the school has garnered plenty of recognition for its academic accomplishments. Over the years, The Washington Post has named NEST+m one of the nation's top schools and US News & World Report ranked it among the top 100 "Gold Medal" schools. Since opening, 100% of the school's graduating seniors have gone on to college.
NEST+m is also one of over 6,000 schools worldwide which have chosen Lands' End as a uniform supplier. Livanis is very satisfied with the school's uniform program. "[Lands' End] has been very cooperative," she says. "We've had great service."
In addition to quality clothing and attentive customer service, NEST+m has also benefited from Lands' End School Rewards, earning a percentage on every uniform purchase.
Livanis explains that these rewards contribute to NEST+m's general school fund and are used exclusively for student activities and travel. "Our students compete in chess championships and math competitions," she says, adding that the school's debate club visits the UN headquarters.
It is no surprise that NEST+m's vision statement affirms a commitment to nurturing students' growth "as scholars, artists, and citizens of the world." At Lands' End, we feel privileged to serve one of the country's leading public schools.

Mullen High School and Lands' End: a rewarding relationship.
Named after John Kernan Mullen, a Denver businessman and philanthropist, Mullen High School started out in 1931 as an orphanage, where boys received education in agriculture and mechanics as well as traditional subjects. Today, Mullen is a co-educational, Catholic high school with strong academics and athletics – and one of our more than 6,000 school partners.
As a preferred school, Mullen benefits from the Lands' End School Rewards program, earning a percentage back on all uniform purchases. That money can help fund everything from science programs to music education. Mullen's administration have told us how the school utilizes its rewards:
"Part of our mission is to serve under-resourced kids. Mindful of the diverse economic backgrounds of our students, we keep our base level of school outfitting to a minimum. Even so, it's a stretch for some families. Lands' End School Rewards helps us purchase "starter kits" of dress-code essentials for those kids in need."
For Mullen High School, Lands' End School Rewards are a Win! Win! – and they can be for your school, too. To learn more, click here.

Nicola Wong - Partner and Veterinary Surgeon
I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College, University of London. During my training I had the opportunity to work in the US, Hong Kong and Cyprus. I started working at Medivet in 2009 and for the past few years I have been practising at the South Harrow branch where I have been able to see an interesting variety of cases. At home I've got a dog called 'Candy' who I believe is actually a human trapped inside a Yorkshire Terrier's body!
This is a long review, so my apologies, but I just wanted to make it extremely clear how brilliant this practice is! Read more...

Speak in Snoop
If Snoop Dogg language is not one you can speak, we found a translator that can be very addictive. Although dog, blog, and Andru could not be interpreted, we were successful with these:
- Sparky =Spizzle
- Lolita = Lolizzle
- Edwards = Edwizzle
- Franklin = Frizzle
While we know Snoop himself says it's time to retire the language, the site is certainly worth playing with for a while. Written Humor features other amusing pastimes, such as an ebonics translator and a lexical translator that changed the sentence "I do not like green eggs and ham" into "I do not same naive eggs and ham."

Kwesi Fraser needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 60 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
Drink Fresh Juice
I used to work in marketing, on both the client side and agency side (account services), strategically developing promotional events and all the associated supporting collateral material. I moved to Grand Cayman less than a year ago from Brooklyn NYC and I am about to start my own company (with my fiance Kim.)
I am used to reviewing creative work and look forward to developing a sick logo for my mobile juice company.
My primary target will be business professionals 25 plus, who are health conscious and have limited time to break away from their desk to eat (much less options to choose from for a healthy snack or meal.) I will promote my services to this group as a way to boost output and maximize mental potential /stamina during the day.
My secondary targets will be tourists on island for a few hours to shop, eat and experience Cayman. To this group I will promote the benefits of juicing as well as the importance of supporting local farmers (as I am resourcing all of my produce from the island.)
Additional targets to consider include:
-the ill and those looking to improve their heath by juicing.
-the already health committed / dedicated people who make eating healthy a priority.
There are less that 5 other fresh juice places on the island and none of them have the juicer that I have and thus really only focus on smoothies. My juicer is a twin gear, stainless steel, masticating juicer which provides the maximum juice liquid and maximum nutrient yield. They also don't deliver, so to that regard, I will be first to market with this concept.
I want to develop a logo for my company to be carried thru on a website, business cards, and the side of my mobile cart. I want to use FedEx as the bulls-eye...colors, font, and layout. When anybody sees the logo they should also feel FedEx....almost confuse the two.
With this logo I would like to see how we can use the first letter (or 2) in each word of the company name DRINK FRESH JUICE, and come off with a FedEx feel. I'm not sure if the entire name spelled out will give off the same feel...but ultimately I will have to put the name spelled out somewhere like in the web URL...so I am less concerned about the company name coming across as I am about the FedEx feel....
Simple enough?

Intussusception is the sliding of one part of the intestine into another.
This article focuses on intussusception in children.
Intussusception is caused by part of the intestine being pulled inward into itself. This can block the passage of food through the intestine. If the blood supply is cut off, the segment of intestine pulled inside can die.
The pressure created by the walls of the intestine pressing together causes:
The intestine can die, and the patient can have significant bleeding. If a hole occurs, infection,
The cause of intussusception is not known, although viral infections may be responsible in some cases. Sometimes a lymph node, polyp, or tumor can trigger the problem. The older the child, the more likely such a trigger will be found.
Intussusception can affect both children and adults, although most cases occur in children ages 6 months - 2 years. It affects boys four times as often as girls.
The first sign of intussusception is usually sudden, loud crying caused by abdominal pain. The pain is colicky and not continuous (intermittent), but it comes back often, increasing in both intensity and duration.
An infant with severe abdominal pain may draw the knees to the chest while crying.
Other symptoms include:
Your doctor will perform a thorough examination, which may reveal a mass in the abdomen. There may also be signs of dehydration or shock.
Tests may include:
The child will first be stabilized. A tube will be passed into the stomach through the nose (nasogastric tube). An intravenous (IV) line will be placed in the arm, and fluids will be given to prevent dehydration.
In some cases, the bowel obstruction can be treated with an air or contrast enema performed by a skilled radiologist. There is a risk of bowel tearing (perforation) with this procedure, and it is not used if the bowel has already developed a hole.
If these treatments are unsuccessful, the child will need surgery. The bowel tissue can usually be saved, but any dead tissue will be removed.
Intravenous feeding and fluids will be continued until the child has a normal bowel movement.
The outcome is good with early treatment. There is a risk the condition will come back.
A hole (perforation) is a serious complication due to risk of infection. If not treated, intussusception is almost always fatal for infants and young children.
Intussusception is an emergency. Call your health care provider immediately, then call 911 or go immediately to the emergency room.

The Sunshine ERC Student Association's Interdisciplinary Site Visit to Tampa Bay Downs
Several Sunshine ERC students were able to learn about the many different occupational health issues facing race track workers in our second interdisciplinary SERC site visit, on March 2, 2011. The site visit was led by Sister Sara Proctor, a Physician's Assistant, and the Coordinator of Catholic Mobile Medical Services. In addition to providing free medical care to the migrant/seasonal farm worker population in east Hillsborough County, Sister Sara also provides a weekly free health clinic. Additionally, she holds an annual free health fair for the people who work "behind the scenes" at Tampa Bay Downs. Her weekly clinics are offered on Wednesdays, from December through May, when the seasonal race track workers are in residence at Tampa Bay Downs. During the site visit, Sister Sara shared her insights regarding the unique occupational health issues the workers face: e.g. muscular strains/sprains; falls; confined spaces of the starting gates; exposure to temperature extremes; exposure to bioaerosols; respiratory problems; and cardiovascular health issues; as well as the lack of health insurance coverage. Sunshine ERC students may also wish to view the NIOSH website http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2009-128/ An Overview of Safety and Health for Workers in the Horse-Racing Industry.

A Monroe man suffered a possible broken leg, arm, and other injuries yesterday when his 20-foot pleasure craft crashed into the CSX railroad bridge while boating down the Maumee River.
His name was not available. However, he was listed in serious condition last night in St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center.
Another man who was piloting the vessel was charged with operating a boat under the influence of alcohol, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
The man's name also was not available.
U.S. Coast Guard officials said the two men, both 50, had been watching the Parade of Sails that was part of the Huntington Tall Ships Toledo festival. About 3:30 p.m., the boat hit the wake of another boat and was pushed into one of the bridge abutments.
The Coast Guard took the injured man to their Toledo station and transported him to St. Vincent.
