ShipServ Pages – The Movie: B2B Storytelling to Fill The Funnel
|I'm impressed with Shipserv. They've taken it upon themselves to become the go to authority for shipping organisations.
The Background on Shipserv
Shipserve is a B2B e-marketplace for the maritime shipping industry. They help buyers and sellers of shipping supplies and equipment reduce the costs of doing business together.
In 2008 the 30,000 strong Shipserv community conducted a staggering $1bn in trade across 90 countries.
Storytelling to Simplify The Message & Accelerate Customer Acquisition
Shipserv sells a technologically advanced product to a skeptical audience highly resistant to change.
To simplify their message, they used storytelling to accelerate the drive of prospects into their sales funnel.
According to John Watton, CMO of Shipserv:
"We needed a way to break the ice [and] to show suppliers the power of online marketing. We went low-tech with the stop-motion video and created Rex, a spareparts supplier, hero and modern-day everyman."
Watch the hard-hitting, edgy tale of one man's struggle against the crushing indifference of the global shipping market.
The Shipserv story shows Rex (also a shipserve customer) as a hero who overcame all the odds to succeed.
The Results Speak for Themselves
Shipserv customers can relate to Rex, spare parts supplier, hero and modern-day Everyman, trying to grow his business.
Watch this brief video of Shipserv customers' glowing testimonials.
Here's what John Watton had to say about their storytelling strategy.
"By making a complex message manageable and easily
digested, we've driven people into our funnel at a faster rate."
Now Over to You.

OSHA News Release – Region 6
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 6 News Release: OSHA-06-1621-DAL
Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2006
Contact: Diana Petterson or Elizabeth Todd
Phone: (214) 767-4776, ext. 222 or 221
AUSTIN, Texas -- The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited Conner Steel Products Ltd. in San Angelo, Texas, for failing to protect employees adequately from health and safety hazards involving respiratory protection, fire protection, confined spaces and material-handling devices. OSHA is proposing penalties totaling $79,760.
OSHA personnel cited the company for two alleged serious violations, six repeat and two failure-to-abate violations of the health and safety standards in two inspections initiated on March 22 as a follow-up to earlier OSHA inspections. In 2005, a joint safety and health complaint inspection resulted in 54 violations with a total proposed penalty of $78,800. OSHA and the company entered into a settlement agreement for penalties totaling $44,160, provided the employer complied with and corrected the violations. However, in the follow-up visit of March 22, OSHA found that the employer failed to correct several hazards.
"Although the company corrected most of its previous violations, the company continues to employ certain procedures that pose safety and health risks to its employees," said Eric Harbin, OSHA's area office director in Austin.
Serious violations included failing to install rigging devices properly on a crane, which could result in injury if the load disengaged and overexposure to particulates in a welding process occurred. Repeat violations included respiratory hazards, confined-space hazards and injury and illness recordkeeping discrepancies. The employer only partially abated one violation where eyewash stations were necessary to prevent corrosive chemical splashes from causing permanent injury, and the company failed to install a sprinkler system to extinguish fires, as required by a previous OSHA inspection.
A serious violation is one in which there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known. A repeat violation is cited when the same or a similar hazardous condition is repeated within a period of three years. A failure-to-abate citation is issued when a citation has become a final order and the employer does not correct the violation within a specified time.
Conner Steel Products Ltd. produces metal tanks and employs about 138 people at its San Angelo plant.
The company has 15 working days from receipt of the citations to comply with the request, participate in an informal conference with OSHA's Austin area director or contest the citations and penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
Austin-area employers and workers with questions about safety and health can call (512) 374-0271 or OSHA's toll-free hotline number 1 (800) 321-6742 to report workplace accidents, fatalities or imminent dangers. Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.

The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format upon request (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office.

Hoag Hospital's right to choose
Sometimes you pick a topic for a column and you just know going in you're barking up the wrong tree. Somewhere, someone is going to get upset.
Today's topic is abortion, and it's one of those. Specifically, it's about the recent announcement by Hoag Hospital that it will stop performing elective abortions.
Let me start by telling you my feeling. I'm 100 percent in favor of a woman's right to choose. Not 50 percent, not 75 percent – 100 percent.
But I also, at the same time, respect the right of Hoag Hospital to choose what services it will provide and what services it will not.
Let me give you an example. Eight and a half years ago, I needed a kidney transplant. There are nephrologists and surgeons at Hoag, yet they don't do kidney transplants.
Was I outraged?
Of course not. I simply headed to Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, where they have a unit that specializes in kidney transplants.
Now, those attacking Hoag today over its abortion policy are blaming its recent affiliation with the Catholic-based health system St. Joseph Health.
But wait a moment. Hoag's announcement was about elective abortions. Moving forward, it will still provide abortions when complications exist for a woman, or in the case of rape or sexual assault.
Now if the decision were a Catholic decision, no abortions at all would be provided, except if a mother's life were in danger.
According to catholic.com, "The Catholic Church has always condemned abortion as a grave evil."
They don't distinguish between elective or necessary.
As recently as 1995, Pope John Paul II reinforced that belief by saying, "The Bible forbids abortion, just as it forbids murder."
So if we are to believe the critics who are claiming it's a change forced by that new Catholic affiliation, wouldn't all abortions be eliminated?
Additionally, Hoag still provides sterilizations and contraceptives, both also frowned upon by the Catholic Church.
So imagine you're a nurse who works in the maternity ward at Hoag Hospital. Your day is welcoming newborns and saving the lives of those that arrive with some difficulty.
What your job isn't is terminating pregnancies as an elective.
That being said, there remain many facilities throughout Orange County that make the right to terminate a pregnancy their business. The people there go to work each day knowing what their job is and accepting that decision.
So these people that are upset with Hoag are extending threats: "I'll withhold donations," or, "I don't think women's groups are going to let this go away," and so on.
Hoag Hospital is a health care facility that our community should be proud of and fully support. The decision to discontinue elective abortions should be respected the same way that a woman's right to choose should be respected.

Ducks Hiller celebrates 100th win in style
EDMONTON, Alberta -- His numbers are still far below what he's shown over his four NHL seasons but the Ducks' Jonas Hiller may be turning up his game halfway into the 2011-12 season.
Hiller won his 100th NHL game Friday night, notching the milestone victory with a 5-0 shutout of the Edmonton Oilers. It was his second of the season after blanking San Jose in the Ducks' home opener and the 13th shutout of his career.
The Oilers threw 33 shots at Hiller but really didn't push him in a dreadful effort that the Ducks took full advantage of. But a couple of days off has helped the netminder fully recover from a lower-body injury that forced him out of Sunday's game against Columbus.
In two starts since sitting out Tuesday's game against Dallas, Hiller has stopped 51 of 52 shots. And there have a few notable saves as he stoned Calgary's Jarome Iginla twice on Thursday and foiled Edmonton's Taylor Hall on a point-blank chance in the first period Friday.
"He's been really good since he got a couple of days off with his little injury," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "If he's sharp, the goaltending makes all the difference in the world. It can make a team that might not have played great look a lot better.
"We had a lot of odd-man rushes that sometimes will be turned into goals. [The Oilers] made the mistakes. [Eric] Belanger passing instead of shooting and hitting us. It made us look a little better than what we were. The goaltending makes a lot of problems go away."
The shutout got Hiller's numbers back above the .900 level for save percentage and below the 3.00 mark for goals-against average.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
On Tuesday, August 19, 2014, the U.S. Department of Labor issued a directive to "clarify that existing agency guidance on discrimination on the basis of sex... includes discrimination on the bases of gender identity and transgender status." This directive follows President Obama's Executive Order 13672, issued on July 21, 2014, amending existing orders to specifically prohibit federal contractors from discriminating based on gender identity.
Tuesday's directive specifically applies to federal contractors and subcontractors, but is also part of the Department's broader focus on cracking down on gender identity-based discrimination. On June 30, 2014, the DOL's Secretary announced that:
"DOL is updating its enforcement protocols and nondiscrimination guidance to clarify that DOL provides the full protection of the federal nondiscrimination laws that it enforces to individuals on the bases of gender identity and transgender status."
The directive also cites as support the EEOC's decision in Macy v. Holder, 2012 WL 1435995, in which the EEOC unanimously concluded that discrimination because a person is transgender is sex discrimination in violation of Title VII. In Macy, the EEOC determined that discrimination against a transgender employee can be a form of "sex stereotyping." Specifically, "disparate treatment of a transgender employee because he or she does not conform to the gender stereotypes associated with his or her biological sex is a form of sex discrimination" because it is "related to the sex of the victim." Moreover, the EEOC found that transgender discrimination constitutes sex discrimination "regardless of whether the discrimination was motivated by sex stereotyping or by some other reason related to the employee's gender identity, such as discomfort with the idea of a transition."
Tuesday's directive is part of a continuing trend by the Obama Administration to expand Title VII's protections to LGBT employees. These actions make clear that, moving forward, the DOL and the EEOC will construe discrimination based on "sex" under Title VII broadly enough to encompass discrimination based on gender identity and transgender status.

I love this work. It's simple, with no background. But the most important is you showed the unique style of doing your artwork. Keep up the good work! :))
Thank you, this one was very simple but because of that it came out very clean which is what I like about it. Backgrounds are something I need to work on alot before I start including them regularly in the stuff I post.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
What a lovely piece :) It's simple in its nature, but for what you attempted, you did fantastically well. Love the eyes, skin tone, and subtle soft linework. Keep it up! I look forward to seeing more from you
Thanks for your time Jazza. I'm glad that you liked it even though it was so simple. The eyes were actually something I had to redo and work with immensly to make them look right, because it is such a simple pose if the eyes were bad it would bring down the whole drawing.

Daily Journal
TUPELO – Boarded up windows, no trespassing signs and a missing wraparound porch at the Spain House on south Church Street show how little has changed since the house was cut into thirds nine months ago and moved to the site.
In less than three weeks, picnics, old-time music and tours of the location and building will breathe life into the property intended to serve as an anchor for the community's commitment to historic preservation. Members of Tupelo Historic Preservation Society will host a "Raise the Roof" fundraiser at the property to help raise money needed to apply for a state grant to help put a new roof and wraparound porch on the house designated as a Tupelo Landmark by the City Council in 2009.
The city of Tupelo bought the house on West Main Street from Calvary Baptist Church and moved it to the Church Street location and deeded the property to the Tupelo Historic Preservation Society.
Historic preservation advocate Doyce Deas said the Sept. 14 event blends the opportunity to showcase the house to the community before any restoration has happened with the need to raise $40,000 to qualify to apply for a state-funded community heritage preservation grant.
With the grant application due on Sept. 27 and only about $5,000 committed, Deas said raising private donations is critical to the historic preservation property that is one of the last remaining "wedding cake homes" left that once lined Main Street.
After the 1936 tornado destroyed much of the city, few structures remain from the early 1900s like the Spain House. Deas and other preservationists believe restoring the house can show the community's concern and support for historic landmarks.
"Without valuing our history, I think you lose part of your soul," Deas said. "Once it's gone, it doesn't come back."
The Tupelo Historic Preservation Society intends to apply for a $200,000 grant to cover costs for the first phase of the house's restoration. No cost estimates have been made on the entire project.
Karen Keeney, member of the city's historic preservation commission and the nonprofit historic preservation society, said the fundraiser at the Spain House property will celebrate moving the structure to the location and also help motivate the community to help encourage support for the next chapter of the house's history.
"It'll really be our first time to celebrate and get ready for the next phase," Keeney said.
Rob Brandon, president of the local historic preservation society, said restoring the house will help with revitalization of the Mill Village neighborhood. He lives on South Church Street in proximity to the Spain House and said the property will encourage other investment in the area.
"This is going to bring out the regentrification of the area," he said.

"I quadrupled this recipe and made it for my dad's 90th birthday party lunch celebration. It was easy to make ahead and assemble at serving time. Compliments abounded!"
"I followed the recipe exactly except I added a chopped apple to it. Great served on lettuce, even my toddler ate it!"
"I have made this salad many times. It is one of my families favorites!"
"What is the correct amount of mustard?"
"Re: leave out the fruit and it's great on a sandwhich.
Sheila-LK"" "
"I was wondering the same thing!
pam-tx""7 and 1/2 teaspoons of mustard sounds like a lot to me. Is that accurate?"
"Not my recipe - but yes you would need to drain the pineapple also. Any time you are adding canned fruit of any kind, always drain unless you are specifically told not to do so."

Partial cystectomy is surgery to remove part of the bladder. It is most often done to treat bladder cancer. If the cancer is found at an early stage, this surgery may help cure it. After the surgery, the bladder will still function.
Prepare for the surgery as you have been told. In addition:
Tell your doctor about all medicines you take. This includes herbs and other supplements. It also includes any blood thinners, such as warfarin, clopidogrel, or daily aspirin. You may be told to stop taking some or all of them before surgery.
Do not eat or drink during the 8 hours before your surgery. This includes coffee, water, gum, and mints. (If you have been instructed to take medicine, take them with a small sip of water.)
If you have been told to, prepare your bowel for surgery ("bowel prep"). This process begins 1 to 2 days before the surgery. Your doctor may tell you to restrict your diet to clear liquids. You may also be asked to take laxatives or to give yourself an enema. Follow all instructions you are given.
The surgery takes 4 to 6 hours. Afterward, you will stay in the hospital for 3 to 5 nights.
An IV line is put into a vein in your arm or hand. This delivers fluids and medicines (such as antibiotics). In some cases, a central or arterial line is inserted into a blood vessel somewhere else on the body. Your doctor can tell you more.
To keep you free of pain during the surgery, you're given general anesthesia. This medicine puts you into a state like deep sleep through the surgery. A tube may be inserted into your throat to help you breathe.
You may be given a medicine to prevent blood clots in your veins.
You may have an epidural to help control post-surgery pain. A small tube is inserted into your back to deliver pain medicine that numbs the lower body. Talk to your doctor or anesthesiologist about this option.
A thin tube is passed into your bladder through your urethra (the tube that grains urine from the bladder). This is called a Foley catheter. It drains your urine during the surgery and for a time afterward.
An incision is made in the lower abdomen to expose your bladder.
Nearby lymph nodes may be removed. These are checked for cancer cells (a sign that the cancer has spread).
The part of the bladder that contains cancer is removed. A margin of healthy tissue is also removed. The bladder is closed with stitches.
The skin incision is closed with stitches or staples.
A small tube may be placed in the abdomen. This drains blood and fluid as the wound begins to heal.
In some cases, a thin tube may be placed into your bladder through a small incision in your abdomen. This is called a suprapubic catheter. Like the Foley catheter, this tube also helps drain your urine.
After the surgery, you will be taken to a recovery room. Here, you'll wake up from the anesthesia. You may feel sleepy and nauseated. If a breathing tube was used, your throat may be sore at first. When you are ready, you will be taken to your hospital room. While you're in the hospital:
You will be given medicine to manage pain. Let your providers know if your pain is not controlled.
You'll receive IV fluids until you can start on a liquid diet. You'll then slowly return to a normal diet.
As soon as you're able, you'll get up and walk.
You will be shown coughing and breathing techniques to help keep your lungs clear and prevent pneumonia.
If you are sent home with a catheter or drains, you will be shown how to care for them.
After your hospital stay, you will be released to an adult family member or friend. Have someone stay with you for the next few days, to help care for you. Recovery time varies for each person. Your doctor will tell you when you can return to your normal routine. Until then, follow the instructions you have been given. Make sure to:
Take all medicines as instructed.
Care for your incision as instructed. If you go home with catheters or drains, take care of these as you were shown.
Follow your doctor's guidelines for showering. Avoid swimming, bathing, using a hot tub, and other activities that cause the incision to be covered with water until the doctor says it's OK.
Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities as directed.
Do not drive until your doctor says it's OK. Do not drive if you're taking medicine that make you drowsy or sleepy.
Walk a few times daily. As you feel able, slowly increase your pace and distance.
Avoid straining to pass stool. If needed, take stool softeners as directed by your doctor.
Drink plenty of water. This helps prevent urine odor and dehydration.
Call the doctor If you have any of the following:
Chest pain or trouble breathing (call 911)
Fever of 100.4°F (38.0°C) or higher
Increasing pain, redness, swelling, bruising, bleeding, or drainage at the incision site
Pain that worsens or that is not controlled with pain medication
Little or no urine for longer than 4 hours
Leakage around the catheter
Burning or pain when passing urine (after the catheter is removed)
Frequent need to pass urine
Blood clots in the urine (some pink-tinged urine is normal)
Problems with catheters or drains
Pain or swelling in the legs
You will have follow-up visits so your doctor can check how well you're healing. Any drains, catheters, and stitches you have will be removed. If you had cancer, you will have regular testing to make sure you remain cancer-free. Your doctor can tell you more.
Risks and possible complications include:
Bleeding (may require a blood transfusion)
Blood clots in the legs
Pneumonia or other lung problems
Urine leakage at the site of bladder incision
Damage to nearby nerves, tissues, or organs
Bladder may not hold as much urine as before
Failure to remove all cancerous tissue, or cancer comes back
Risks of anesthesia (the anesthesiologist will discuss these with you)

Christian Bauhofer, known by his fans as his party crushing alter ego Minnesota, is a producer and DJ heralding from Santa Cruz, CA that has been lighting up venues across the country with his frantic energy and pounding bass. At 23 years old, Minnesota has recently spent his time touring with acts such as Big Gigantic and Paper Diamond while artists like Bassnectar and PANTyRAID have been incorporating his tracks into their sets. "Quickly becoming a staple in my sets," commented Bassnectar when discussing the use of Minnesota's track "Push It". "Perfect for when I need a track that is epic and churning but also melodically hyped."
Minnesota's goal seems simple; to release diverse productions that can win over any crowd. The support of his management team, agency, and some of the world's greatest artists can only attribute to his hunger for more time spent on the road and in the studio. To those that haven't had the opportunity to see Minnesota perform, just wait until his tour rolls out this summer. To put it lightly, Minnesota is a name to watch. For Minnesota, the future is bright as he spends his time producing new tracks and finds himself playing more events than ever. If you haven't heard about him until now, know that Minnesota is a name to watch.

hey guys, I did this tour back in march.
multiple bathing suits, lots of light weight, cotton clothing. if anything you can always just buy tanks/singlets while there, especially in phuket because there are markets/shops everywhere. most of the girls on my tour, including myself wore very light sundresses every day, and then dressier skirts/tops for the nights out.
for the girls, I wouldn't suggest any heels/wedges as someone on my tour got hurt getting out of a tuk tuk wearing wedges. stick with flats or flip flops!

hey Cherology, Im also going in January, i was wondering how much spending money to take? Ive heard Thailand is cheap but how much would you suggest?

14 Nov 2012 cherology said
It really depends on if you're a big drinker or not. If you want to party almost every night, I'd say bare minimum is $500, especially if you plan on doing the optional excursions. I took around $1000 Canadian with me and only ended up spending about $800 of it, but I admit I drank a lottttt and bought a LOT of gifts/souvenirs/clothes to take home.
To kind of give a better idea,
$800 Canadian = roughly 24,525 Thai Baht.
Meals were anywhere from 150 – 650B and alcoholic beverages ranged from 50-300B. Beers were usually 50-80B, whereas the buckets of alcohol were more expensive obviously.

I did this tour in December and took a backpack. I'd definitely recommend taking a suitcase as my backpack got kind of annoying. I wouldn't bring a flat iron as it's too hot to worry too much about your hair :P but that's a personal choice.

You would recommend a suitcase? What about lugging it around? Im undecided! I would just think a backpack may be easier to carry?

There's not really that many places to lug it around to. The furthest would be just getting on to the ferries. Other than that, the hotel helps you carry your luggage. Most of the people on my tour used a suitcase, including our tour manager :)

I agree with Karyn. Most people brought suitcases. The only people who didn't, were people who were backpacking through South East Asia either prior to the tour, or right afterwards.
As for flat iron/curling iron.. the humidity/heat will kind of defeat the purpose of using one but someone on my tour did bring one and for the nights out, it did come in handy. Just needed to use a lot of anti-frizz product lol

Research reported in The Journal of Chemical Physics, which is published by the American Institute of Physics, provides the first real-time measurements of the time dependence of the individual steps of dissociation of a complex consisting of two rare gas atoms and a halogen molecule.
"The goal of this work is to provide a test case for quantum dynamics theory," says author Kenneth C. Janda of the University of California, Irvine. "It is a problem that is easy, but not too easy, in the sense that a fundamental quantum dynamics explanation is within reach."
Researchers cooled a mixture of helium, neon, and bromine by spraying it through a nozzle, resulting in a stream of gas particles traveling at the same speed. This created a very low temperature in a moving frame of reference -- the particles were stationary relative to one another and condensed to form Ne2Br2 tetrahedral complexes. After the bromine molecule was excited with a laser pulse, the dissociation of the complex over a period of tens of picoseconds was observed spectroscopically. Adding 16 quanta of vibrational energy to the bromine-stretching vibration resulted in rapid direct dissociation. The two Ne atoms dissociated without interacting with each other. However, with slightly higher vibrational excitation, a 23-quanta boost, the bromine anharmonicity led to sharing of the kinetic energy between the Ne atoms and a much more complicated dissociation mechanism.
"For 23 quanta, the first transfer of vibration fails to knock off one of the neon atoms 80 percent of the time," says Janda. "Instead a tiny liquid drop is formed, allowing a neon atom to move in a direct line with the bromine atoms. The next vibration shoots it off like a pool stick hitting the cue ball."

Q: âThe California Vehicle Code (section 21460) says itâs legal to make a left turn across a solid double yellow line if youâre going into a private driveway or road,â Sandra Wynhoff wrote in an email. âThis always has confused me as to just what does âprivateâ mean in this case? Can you cross a double yellow line to enter the driveway of a shopping center or business? Itâs done a lot.â
A: A private road or driveway is a way or place thatâs in private ownership and is used for vehicular traffic by its owner and by those having expressed or implied permission from the owner â" but not (to be used) by other members of the public, according to section 490 of the vehicle code. Shoppers who use a private driveway or road to enter a parking area of a mall, other retail outlet or other type of business would seem to have at least the ownerâs implied permission to do so.
Similarly, can a motorist cross a double yellow line to turn left onto another public highway or street?
Yes, crossing the double yellow lines to turn left at an intersection â" an area where two highways or streets meet â" also is legal, as explained in the same section. Section 360 of the code defines a highway (or street) as a way or place publicly maintained and open to the public for vehicular travel.
Q: âWhat does the sign âtwo cars per green lightâ mean at metered on-ramps to freeways?â Kathy Jones of Corona asked, noting, âSometimes Iâm the only one in my lane on the ramp, so I wait for the green, then start to go. But the driver in the other lane goes, too, even though heâs still got a red light in his lane. Can he somehow do that?â
A: Drivers in the adjacent lane typically are governed by the traffic signal in their specific lane â" not yours â" regardless of the number of cars in your lane. If itâs a âtwo cars per green lightâ ramp, up to two cars in the other lane are permitted to proceed on the ramp, but only when the light in that other lane is green.
Q: Redlands resident Tony Garcia asked: âA pedestrian walking along a road where thereâs no sidewalk on either side is supposed to walk so heâs facing oncoming traffic. Can a person riding a bicycle do the same thing â" that is, ride so heâs going against the flow of traffic?â
A: It would be illegal. Section 21200 of the vehicle code says bicyclists generally have the same rights and are subject to the same provisions as drivers of vehicles â" except for provisions that by their nature have no application. Applicable provisions include riding in the same direction as vehicles traveling on that side of the roadway (section 21650).
Q: Garcia also asked: âDoes the traffic law that prohibits motorists from wearing headsets or ear plugs over both ears when driving also apply to bicyclists?â
A: Yes, the same law (section 27400 of the CVC) applies to cyclists. There are exceptions to the law â" for drivers of emergency vehicles in emergency conditions, refuse trucks and special construction or highway maintenance equipment. Other exceptions that actually could apply to bicyclists â" a person wearing two hearing aids or someone wearing hearing protectors designed to reduce injurious noise levels.

Sunday Post-Game 2/14
The WBS Penguins just completed their most successful weekend of the season with a 4-3 win at Adirondack, and Zach Sill and Jesse Boulerice are a big reason why. Boulerice scored a back-breaking goal at the end of the second period against the Bears on Saturday. On Sunday, he scored the go-ahead goal to break a 2-2 tie midway through the third. Sill forced a turnover in the neutral zone and Boulerice skated up the right wing and blasted a slap shot past goalie John Grahame. Sill was a physical force against the Bears. If you didn't see his fight… Continue Reading

You do a washing, you lose a sock. Not a pair - just one. The process replicates itself over weeks and months and you end up, well I do anyway, with only about four pairs of socks and about seventeen odd ones.
I've tried everything. Bought socks that are all the same colour (black) to overcome the problem but it doesn't work: they shrink and fade at different rates and plus it doesn't seem to do anything to stem the flow of sock sacrifice to the voracious textile-eating monster that lives in your washing machine.
Having a child only exacerbates the problem: on average, the malevolent sock-eating god needs roughly seven children's socks per one adult sock.
While they're extremely cheap these days, the sheer scale of sock-haemorrhage is a financial burden as I have purchased several thousand socks in the last four years or so. Does anyone know of anything else that appeases the sock-consuming deity that lives behind your washing machine?

Carlson, you see, feels marginalized, but Colbert has some suggestions!AdvertisementColbert explained that one way to combat the neutralization of masculine terms — like changing "Congressman" to "Member of Congress" — is to replace "female" terms with male ones.

The Center for Advancement in Cancer Education (CACE) is a federally-approved 501(c)(3) not-for-profit cancer information, counseling, and referral agency established in 1977. The Center specializes in providing nutritional, immunological, and psychological resources for cancer prevention, prevention of recurrence, and support during or after treatment.
For 30 years, the Center has offered free individualized services through its National Call Center to over 28,000 cancer patients worldwide seeking integrative, complementary, and alternative medical options. Furthermore, through its National Awareness Campaign, the Center has provided cancer prevention education to many thousands more, as well as trained hundreds of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. The Breast and Prostate Cancer Prevention Initiative, College Campus Outreach Initiative, Cross Country for Cancer Bike Tour, and Minority Outreach Trainings are four of the Center's primary prevention programs.
OUR MISSION To provide education on how to prevent, cope with, and beat cancer through immune-enhancing approaches.
The steadfast focus of the Center's work is geared towards cancer prevention education through lifestyle training. With the lifetime rate of cancer nearing one in two Americans, the Center focuses on primary prevention, not just early detection. Because a large body of published research in prestigious scientific journals has demonstrated that up to 75 percent of all cancers are diet and lifestyle-related, we specialize in prevention education through lifestyle training, starting as young as possible. These lifestyle factors include diet, exercise, stress management, and environmental exposures, among others.
For diagnosed patients, the Center's focus bridges the gap between conventional cancer therapies and those considered unproven by modern science. Our whole-person approach focuses primarily on the patient rather than merely on the tumor. Short-term, we offer individualized resources and referrals that empower patients to make informed decisions, participate in the wellness process, and improve the quality and longevity of their lives. Long-term, we seek to change the medical focus of oncologic care from invasive tumor destruction to an integrative approach that emphasizes the body's ability to repair itself and prevent recurrence.
For an interview with Susan Silberstein, Executive Director by Natural Lifestyle Editor Cynthia Chatfield, go to http://www.naturallifestyle.net/susan-silberstein.html.
Besides our special philosophy, the Center has many unique attributes that set it apart from other cancer institutions and organizations and enable it to perform a special role in the fight against cancer.
§ Our experience with over 28,000 patients puts us in a unique position to evaluate the confusing field of complementary and alternative therapies and to determine which programs have produced the best results for the most patients over the longest period of time.
§ We charge no fee for service; all counseling on cancer prevention and treatment options is provided on a donation basis.
§ We are generous with our time. One-on-one patient sessions last typically one to two hours, and we spend an average of about 15 hours per year with each patient.
§ Our counselors are extremely sensitive to the individual and multiple needs of cancer patients; we assist patients in coping with information overload as they attempt to manage their cancer experience.
§ As an educational rather than a treatment center, we have autonomy on medical issues and can provide unbiased guidance based on scientific research, clinical data, and decades of patient feedback.
§ By examining deeply the various causes of each patient's illness, we empower patients to prevent disease recurrence.
§ We have no vested interest in any particular product, service or treatment choice: patient needs always come first.
§ We are economical. Nearly every dollar we raise is spent on services to the public, not on administrative overhead.

- Classes, workshops and lectures for the general public
- Continuing education, in-services, training and consultations for healthcare professionals
- Annual "Food & Health Expo" honoring National Nutrition Month
- Immune Perspectives magazine
- Health News & Views newsletter
- Comprehensive reference library of more than 10,000 books, articles and recordings
- Risk assessments and cancer prevention lifestyle consultations
- National speakers bureau of professional health educators
- Distribution of educational materials through our e-store, office, and health events
- Research on nutritional and psycho-social aspects of cancer control
National Call Center
Through our National Call Center, the Center provides information and counseling on nutritional, immunological, and psychological resources, as well as referrals for integrative, complementary, alternative and non-toxic treatment approaches. Our purpose is to aid in controlling and preventing recurrence of cancer by supporting and enhancing any medical choices a client may make. To date, we have served over 28,000 individuals and their families nationwide.
Through Integrative Lifestyle Counseling (ILC), we help clients design a holistic action plan to address multiple facets of their lives by modifying various lifestyle approaches. Our goal is to discover practical and manageable ways clients can make rapid, positive changes in their lives. ILC is highly personalized, paying attention to logistical, financial, and geographic limitations as well as to the belief systems of the client. ILC may include referrals to healthcare practitioners to serve an individual's special needs.
National Awareness Campaign
- Training for Healthcare Professionals
Although working one-on-one with individual patients has been extremely valuable, ultimately we know we can reach many more people by helping to educate healthcare professionals and clinicians. Over the past three decades, the Center has provided hundreds of hours of continuing education for doctors, nurses, and other health professionals, as well as training for students of medicine, nursing, and psychology. By continuing to present the scientific basis for examining, the criteria for evaluating, and the rationales for implementing preventive, nutritional, complementary, integrative, and alternative medical approaches into clinical practice, we hope to disseminate much-needed information to more and more healthcare professionals.
Cancer of the breast and prostate are the most common cancers among US women and men. According to the latest statistics from the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute and the Centers for Disease Control, about 215,000 cases of breast cancer and about 190,000 cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the US this year. Despite millions of research dollars, the incidence of prostate cancer has tripled since the 1970's, and the lifetime risk of breast cancer has risen from one in 12 in the 1970's to nearly one in six today. Because the most commonly recognized risk factors -- age, race and heredity – are uncontrollable, most prevention programs have been limited to genetic testing, PSA screenings, mammograms, and other early detection techniques. However, these risk factors account for only about 25 percent of diagnosed cases; the other 75 percent of breast and prostate cancer incidence is largely due to lifestyle factors -- which are controllable!
Based on scientific research confirming the power of diet, exercise and stress management to influence hormone balance and immune function, the prevention programs offered by the Center for Advancement in Cancer Education aim at diet and lifestyle training. For the public, we present dozens of lectures each year on topics like "Prostate Cancer: The Diet Connection" and "Breast Cancer: Is it What You're Eating or What's Eating You?" For individuals, we offer comprehensive lifestyle risk factor evaluations and coaching on how to minimize these exposures.
The lifetime risk of cancer among the younger generation is now approaching one in two, and according to the World Health Organization, up to 75% of these cancers are diet and lifestyle related. Through our College Campus Outreach Initiative, we are partnering with sororities, fraternities, and other campus organizations, delivering nutrition and prevention talks, providing free educational materials, and training students to share this information with their peers. Having begun with campuses in the local Philadelphia area, we are now expanding our partnerships with other student organizations to bring our empowering cancer prevention message to college campuses nationwide.
In conjunction with our College Campus Outreach Initiative and in cooperation with the Mayor of Philadelphia's Office of Health & Fitness – which is partnering with us in some local programming – we intend to spread awareness of the powerful role of diet and exercise in preventing cancer. We will do this by creating youth-oriented local, regional and national biking events.
Medically underserved populations generally have higher rates of disease, especially breast and prostate cancer, and are diagnosed at more advanced stages than other groups. We have conducted successful training programs in cancer prevention through lifestyle education for African Americans at Philadelphia area hospitals, churches, and schools. Now we are expanding this model to reach minority groups in other cities around the country. These programs are targeted to specifically serve the African American, Native American, and Hispanic communities.
Caregivers Circle
The Caregivers Circle provides an opportunity for individuals to make a difference in someone's life everyday. A tax-deductible gift of $100 will help sponsor a cancer patient for an entire year of free individualized educational, counseling and referral services. Even better, a gift of $300 will help sponsor three patients; a donation of $500 will sponsor five patients; and a contribution of $1000 will help underwrite services for ten patients for a complete year! As a Caregivers' Circle member, the individual, like the patients sponsored, receives our Immune Perspectives magazine and our Health News & Views newsletter. Because individuals are diagnosed with cancer 365 day of the year, our Board has set a goal to enlist 365 new members in the Caregivers' Circle every year.
Corporate Partners in Prevention
Our Partners in Prevention program is a wonderful opportunity for companies to benefit from co-venturing with the Center. We have experience in addressing the concerns of employers regarding the impact of cancer on the health and productivity of their staff. In the past, we have been joined in our educational efforts by such companies as Wild Oats, Whole Foods Markets, Christina Cooks Public Television, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Juice Plus+ and others. A mutually supportive relationship provides an exciting educational and marketing opportunity for the company, while helping our Center to fulfill its crucial mission.
The Center for Advancement in Cancer Education is a federally-approved 501(c)(3) charity supported almost entirely by donations. Your contribution will help us to maintain our services to the public and to promote the biological approach to cancer control. A copy of our official registration and financial information may be obtained from the PA Dept. of State Bureau on Charitable Organizations by calling (717) 783-1720.

We have scrapbooks full of letters of appreciation and praise from both laypersons and professionals. A few of their comments appear below.
"Everyday I count my blessings and include you and your fine organization in my prayers. Your kind, yet very competent and confident attitude helped allay my fears and gave me the courage to face my life crisis. I am so grateful that you and the Center are there for people like me." –JK
"I first called you after relapsing from a bone marrow transplant for lymphoma…I asked if you could refer me to someone. You did.

Well it is now 20 months and I feel great. I am leaving tomorrow to take my second snow skiing trip this season." –MR
"I have written a personal story of hope and recovery from the deadly metastatic malignant melanoma from which my husband…has been declared the winner! He has made a marvelous, natural recovery and is better now than he has been in over 20 years! We wanted to express our gratitude for putting us on the path to good health! –PH
"What a wonderful resource for support for cancer soldiers and their families/friends! Personally you have provided me with invaluable information…in my battle against colon cancer. I do not know what I would have done without the assistance of the Center." –CL
Despite very limited resources and ever-increasing demand, the Center has provided state-of-the-art prevention training, has performed exceptional services for individuals with cancer, and has added enormous value to the cancer community over the past quarter-century.

Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This episode of All Ears previously aired on January 16, 2010
Saturday, January 15, 2011
Martin Luther King, Jr. grew up listening to and singing church songs, and saw gospel and folk music as natural tools to further the civil rights movement.
This week we're listening to A Beautiful Symphony of Brotherhood: A Musical Journey in the Life of Martin Luther King, Jr., which charts Dr. Martin Luther King's musical biography. From the church songs that resonated with him to the classical music with which he wooed his wife, Terrance illustrates how Dr. King brilliantly harnessed the power of music to affect personal as well as universal change. We'll hear Marian Anderson and Pete Seeger, as well as Duke Ellington and Mahalia Jackson, all threads in the civil rights movement that helped Dr. King's cause.
We'll also hear examples of how the musical community responded to Dr. King's call to action--and continue his legacy today--with works by Leonardo Balada and Nicolas Flagello.

Simply beautiful. An exceptional tribute to an extraordinary human being. And told with such sincerity and grace!
Outstanding feat of imaginative teaching/programing. Am forwarding this to colleagues and graduate school music students with whom I work as a mentor; this is a wonderful example of seizing opportunity to develop interdisciplinary study projects that are at once fascinating, relevant and electrically engaging. Can't think of a more mind-opening proof of music's multifaceted power. Thanks for a great afternoon of listening
Somehow, I felt a connection with this amazing program. You seemed to bring this precious human being back to life by showing the human side. I could visualize Dr King dancing the jitterbug. I enjoyed the program. It was a gift. Thank you.
If memory serves, Marian Anderson always avoided using the first person singular, referring to herself as "we"--not just when singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee," but always. Check it out with her nephew, the conductor. He should know.
The program is powerful, poignant, beautiful.
Thanks you so very much.
I spent the early years of my childhood in Newark. In an integrated neighborhood. Everyone on the block was colored. And then there was us. The white house. I lived in a three-family house with my parents, grandparents, and an aunt and uncle.
I was the only white kid on the block. The only white kid in my class at the Newton Street School.
On occasion I went to a nearby movie theater with my friends for a Saturday matinee. We were not allowed to sit in the front rows. We were colored. And at the soda shop afterward we were not permitted to sit at the counter. We were colored.
When my family subsequently moved to the suburbs--a community predominantly white--I discovered that I could sit anywhere I wanted in the movie theater and that I could sit at any lunch counter as well.
I knew then that I had come face to face with racial discrimination as a child.
So, inspired by memories of my friends, I became very active in the civil rights movement as a young lawyer, and volunteered for the Lawyers Constitutional Defense Committee (LCDC). I even walked the streets of my old neighborhood in Newark during the 1967 riots.
Your program brought back the memories. The cause. The commitment. The sadness. The joy.
Thanks for the memories.

Thank you for your very moving Martin Luther King "Musical Journey" -- many of us accompanied Dr. King on that journey through the '60s & again, yesterday. When you announced Max Roach's "Freedom Now Suite: Freedom Day" I expected you would, of course, announce the suite's extraordinary Freedom Singer, Abbey Lincoln. I also hoped/expected to hear Dr. Billy Taylor's Civil Rights anthem, "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free." Apparently, Dr. King couldn't remember the long title, so he'd just turn to Dr. Taylor [at Birmingham] and say: "Play that Baptist-sounding song!" (Recalled by Kim Taylor-Thompson remembering her father at his Riverside Church memorial celebration last Monday. (The MLK request of Billy Taylor to "Play That Song!" was also mentioned by Kevin Struthers, Kennedy Center director of Jazz Programming.) Maybe new mentions for MLK Musical Journey 2012? Thank you, Patti Hagan
Terrance, this was a very moving program. There were many moments when I was moved to tears. It also gave me some insights on MLK's life that I never heard before or perhaps forgot. Just wonderful! The music highlights were also wonderful. I am now listening to the Flagello piece and find it also moving. I have heard other pieces of music of his and think he is one of many composers who I would call underrated.
Thanks for the wonderful program.
Again, a wonderful show. It left me wanting to know more about Coretta Scott King. I did not know she was so accomplished as a singer and had achieved as much as she did before she met MLK. It seems, although details were absent in last nigh't show, that she gave up her promising career when she met her future husband.
What about a show about the (hidden) women of the civil rights movement? There was another woman, prior to Rosa Parks, who also refused to move her bus seat. I think she died recently and my understanding is she had a troubled background so was not an immediate choice for media attention a bus boycott would bring. Not to take away from MLK, but I think the story of all these women could be told. (also - Shirley Chisholm!).
Thank you for the show last night and all these programmes. Wonderful!
An incredibly moving show. My eyes are wet, but my soul is singing. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Terence for this wonderful program--I'm old enough to have lived through those times and to attend many local protest groups--particularly against the Vietnam War--you reminded me again about the struggle, which is still not over!
This program is wonderful, but it's making me miss your nightly show on WNYC so much. You are just not on the air enough, Terrance.
