APPLE VALLEY � Two years ago Mary Covarrubias was happy to be celebrating her 20-year anniversary of being cancer-free when she received news that the cancer had returned in her breast.
"My son was deployed to Singapore and I had to call him and give him the bad news there," said Covarrubias.
Being a single mother she was always close to her two children, Jeff and Tina Castlebury.
It is during this challenging time, with her children so far away, she discovered a new sense of purpose through the Soroptimist International of Apple Valley.
Covarrubias is now cancer-free and says her biggest supporters have been her children and the organization.
"Soroptimists are all about helping other people," Covarrubias said. "They have helped me tremendously and I have always had a heart to give back to others. This is one way for me to do that."
Covarrubias felt so connected to the service club that she decided to join the organization and give back to the community as the Soroptimists gave to her.
She is proud of the group's work with A Better Way domestic violence shelter.
As a single-mother who has had some exposure to emotional abuse in the past, she felt a bit of a kinship to the survivors.
"I have been through a lot in my life for a reason, and that reason is for me to try to help others," Covarrubias said.
Her life came full circle last Christmas when she created more than 30 candy trains for children staying at the shelter during the holidays.
Members of the Soroptimist, including her friend Linda Cassidy, gave Covarrubias and her family moral support, as well as some financial support.
"She needed a lot of friendship and we were able to provide that," Cassidy said.
The one act that sticks out the most in Covarrubias' mind occurred on Christmas of 2006 when the club members brought a tree and set it up in her rented bedroom right after she had to undergo surgery to remove both breasts.
"It was the most beautiful tree I had seen. I still decorate it to this day with the same ornaments they brought," she said.
Covarrubias' ability to come back from her disease and struggles to become a woman who can give back is wonderful, said Cassidy.

Italy needed a penalty shoot-out to beat England 4-2 in Sunday's quarter-final in Kiev with the Azzurri failing to hit the net in normal play despite 68 percent ball possession and 35 shots compared to England's nine. Prandelli has said the Italians will have to be daring in order to beat Germany, who are on a 15-match winning run in competitive matches since losing to Spain at the last World Cup. Germany's forwards shone in Friday's 4-2 quarter-final win over Greece and Prandelli is mindful of the risk of pushing too far forward against a German side with the pace to punish on the counter-attack. Manchester City's Mario Balotelli is one player the Germans have admitted they will pay close attention to after he spearheaded an Italian attack which had periods of impressive form against the Three Lions.
With only a three-day turn-around between the quarter and semi, Prandelli has injury concerns over midfielder Daniele De Rossi and right-back Ignazio Abate, while Italy's other right-back Christian Maggio is suspended. Aside from a 1-1 draw in a friendly in February 2011, the last time the teams met in competition was the 2006 World Cup semi-final when the Italians won 2-0 after extra time as they went on to win the title. But Germany coach Joachim Loew was defiant when asked about the lack of German success against the Azzurri over the years. "We can't turn back time, forget about about it, the past doesn't play a role in our planning," said the 52-year-old. "Another stat is that Germany has never won against Italy in a major tournament, but so what? "The situation is entirely different now and this is not an issue for us."
But Italian playmaker Andrea Pirlo believes the Germans are running scared and the 33-year-old believes that history will give Italy the edge. "Germany are definitely scared of us, they know we can create difficulties for them given what's happened in the past and they will have to be careful to avoid a repeat of what happened in 2006," said the Juventus midfielder. Loew has developed a habit for pulling surprises at this tournament highlighted by changing three of Germany's six-man attack against Greece in axing striker Mario Gomez, plus forwards Lukas Podolski and Thomas Mueller. It means competition is fierce for places in the starting line-up and Borussia Dortmund-bound Marco Reus looked sharp against the Greeks on his tournament debut before scoring Germany's fourth goal. Loew has only concerns over pivotal midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger who is still feeling the effects of tearing ankle ligaments in February, but the 27-year-old took full part in training this week. Having won the so-called "Group of Death" by beating Holland, Portugal and Denmark en route to the knock-out phase, the Germans have made no secret of their desire to lift the Henri Delaunay Cup. "We knew before the tournament that we have a strong team," said Real Madrid star Mesut Ozil. "If we play as we know we can, I am convinced we will beat Italy." afp

Whitecaps / SKC game summary
The Vancouver Whitecaps put in an improved effort in this mid-week effort but still came out on the short side of another 3-1 decision.
A poor first 65 minutes could not be salvaged by a more aggressive approach by the Whitecaps in the final third of the match.
Martin Rennie continued with the offensive 4-3-3 formation against Sporting. However, the inability of the team to start their push early on saw them scattered and back on their heels, overrun in midfield at times.
Joe Cannon had a rather undistinguished game, with some questions about his positioning on the first goal, which was scrambled in.
The defence has looked porous for two consecutive matches now, with some frequently shaky play. The least memorable moment was Martin Bonjour's over enthusiastic back pass that raced past Cannon for an own goal.
The marking also continued to be intermittent and slack.
The midfield has been Jekyll and Hyde in spurts this year, and the monster was the prominent personality on display for the first 2/3 of the game. John Thorrington was particularly ineffective as a starting defensive midfielder, coming off after 60 minutes.
Camilo Sanvezzo brought a more positive approach upon his entry, providing the pass that Omar Salgado crossed for the lone Whitecaps goal.
Sebastien Le Toux and Eric Hassli were the stars of the week for Vancouver and the French duo shone with 4 shots apiece, spearheading an attack that conjured 18 shots in total (though only 6 were on target) thanks to a late surge. Le Toux potted his third of the season with a scrambled finish off a cross that had slammed off the crossbar.
Man of the Match
Not for the first time, Sebastien Le Toux proved to be the leader of Van City and his incredible work rate saw him take his licks, but the never say die attitude persisted through to his late strike.
Play of the Game
Unfortunately the Martin Bonjour own goal was the turning point for a match that saw the team struggle to recover from being two goals down.
Quote Of the Game
"Textbook performance by SKC, they played well, they're the team to catch up with. It gives us a challenge. Tonight was disappointing, but we get to see how much character in our lockeroom" – Martin Rennie

How To Do Paper Piercing
The basics of how to do paper piercing is an age old technique used in scrap booking. Paper piercing involves piercing a pattern of an accent out of pieces of card stock or patterned paper and combining them to form an image. To make the small pierced holes, a paper piercing tool can be purchased or a similar tool can be made from home using a needle. The small holes can be placed on the edges of greeting cards, as a decorative effect to rubber stamping or for various other projects.
Learning how to do paper piercing is quite simple and requires only a few essential materials. You will need a piercing mat, piercing tool (needle) and paper. Unless you want to pierce free hand, you will also need a pattern. It's best to start with a simple shape such as a triangle or heart.
How to do paper piercing
- Select a pattern The pattern can range in complexity such as basic shapes, cartoon characters, outline of animals or a combination of these.
- Select a card stock or paper Card stock is a popular choice for those first learning how to do paper piercing as its durable and resilient. Patterned paper can be used to give the project color and decorative details.
- Place the card stock/paper onto a piercing pad A piercing pad can be purchased or substituted with an old computer mouse pad or foam. Use clear tape to secure the pattern on the piercing pad.
- Use the piercing tool to pierce The final step on how to do a paper piercing is to piercing holes to form your pattern. Use your piercing tool or needle to pierce holes through the card stock or patterned paper. Remove the tape and pattern.
These are the basic steps to creating a paper piercing. Learning how to do a paper piercing may take some practice but beautiful creations can be created from this skill.

I walk down Park Avenue on my way to Mass.
And it is twilight, according to my almanac of sunrise and sunset that I printed out, and the windows are all lit up. This is my favorite time to walk down Park Avenue: I gape at all the houses
There is a dog that is not like the other dogs on Park Avenue. The other dogs are perfect Afghan hounds or small maltese, or yorkies, or nice beagles in well-tailored sweaters.
This dog is an elderly and unkempt chocolate lab. And he flops on the sidewalk despondently whenever his owner tries to walk him.
This is for the woman with hair so gray it is mauve.
This is for the woman in the dress that is decorated in a pattern that looks like a Hieronymus Bosch coral reef.
This is for the woman who sits next to me in the pew and takes my breath away. She seems so much more solid and real than I, with her flawless, smooth skin, rolled out on her bones like a delicate layer of chocolate. She is tall and slender, her build is economical. I feel like a lumpy fluke of evolution, wasted away in polar regions.
This is for the woman who turned to me and said: Your eyes are beautiful. I lost my breath, and foundered in the muddle of people running from the 6 train to the 4. And I have never felt so loved; to have received such admiration, with nothing expected in return.

Malicious actors regularly congregate in the deep and dark web to plan, execute and profit from a range of illicit activity – from hacking, financial fraud and intellectual property theft to terrorism and other violent acts.In the last year, new trends have escalated cybercriminal activity around the world, including the maturing of the Chinese and French underground communities.Meanwhile, specialised marketplaces have emerged in parallel with the growth in illicit good marketplaces."When you combine that with novel schemes being used for fraud and financial crime, the expertise necessary to engage in illicit activity has been lowered substantially, and we now have a larger class of less sophisticated actors engaging in cybercrime," said Josh Lefkowitz, CEO at security intelligence firm Flashpoint.Intelligence about this activity can help organisations prepare for the latest threats before they surface.Researchers at Flashpoint have identified the five most prolific trends that pose the greatest risk to organisations and their critical assets.
Organized, well thought out cyber attacks are another serious threat to U.S. national security. Too many opportunities are actionable terrorist plans coming to fruition. Opportunities of banking, financing terrorist activities, illegal profits and tax evasion are just four areas of concern. A task force inside Homeland Security that works with the NSA, CIA, and FBI should address these cyber activities. Sounds like NSA looking at every message? It should. Safety due to diligence is better than a repeat of 9/11 in any form.
The "dark web" is a territory of the Internet where jihadists tend to dwell. Until now, the US has not ventured into this uncharted territory, but I think it's time to change that. As the threat of jihad grows, the US should target them right where they are, which is the "dark web."
Dark Web Jihadis are a threat to America's national security and should be addressed quickly. The Dark Web is difficult to police, but action should be taken quickly to track and find the Jihadi's hiding behind the dark web before they are able to harm the United States or other countries.
We should monitor and cut off countries and hotspots of great threat . For example, we need to have government people from the inside infiltrating the sites, whether the threats are coming from inside the US or outside. We have to be one step ahead of the terrorists and potential terrorists.

Wow! This from Bleeding Cool highlights where Ape Entertainment and iVerse Media have got it right. In addition to their massively successful 'Pocket God' titles they seem to have another home run!
The plan seems to be the properties of addictive games and work from there!
The price point is a workable one, and the teams they have behind them seem to have the right mix!
Okay, it is a Tuesday. Tomorrow this might change.
But right now, Temple Run #1 is selling tens of thousands of copies a day. It is the top paid book app for iOS and sales are only increasing. DC just made their line available in this fashion and they don't come close.
Published by Ape Entertainment, the same company which published Pocket God Comics which (and I can announce this now) has just sold a million copies of its Pocket God Comic digitally, with 19 issues available.
Temple Run is based on the massively successful (especially in our household) app game which seems to have popularised the "eternal runner" format immensely.
99 cents. Worth a peek?

Aubrey Plaza Purrrrfect For GRUMPY CAT Movie?
You remember a few months ago it was announced that a film was going into production to be based on the stratospherically popular Internet meme Grumpy Cat? No, us neither. Anyway, it's now been announced that Aubrey Plaza (PARKS AND RECREATION) will lend her dulcet tones of deadpan sarcasm to voice the misanthropic feline.
With the catchy title of GRUMPY CAT'S WORST CHRISTMAS EVER, the film is about a perpetually overlooked cat in a pet store and a 12-year-old girl named Chrystal who is able to communicate with her. The film will also feature cameos from other famous Internet memes, which depending on your point of view is either indicative of the naturally transmedia state of modern entertainment, or the equivalent of opening the first seal from the Book of Revelation, and a harbinger of the apocalypse.
Airing on Lifetime in November, the channel's VP of original movies Arturo Interian described the film as, "a little HOME ALONE and a little DIE HARD," and stated that Lifetime is, "so known for our heartfelt sentimentality that it will poke fun at those stereotypes." Count us as tentatively intrigued.
From humble beginnings as a simple photo posted on Reddit a couple of years ago, Grumpy Cat –real name Tardar Sauce – has an official Facebook page with over six-and-a-half million likes, and is the basis for a company that produces mugs, coasters, t-shirts, books and plush toys; because the Internet is a weird and wonderful place that allows the occurrence of things that in any other circumstances would have no logical possibility of ever happening.
As well as P&R's sardonic April Ludgate, Plaza has also played similarly acerbic characters in the likes of SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD and LIFE AFTER BETH, so in choosing the voice of a character somehow adorable and endearing despite her every word dripping with disdain, we can't think of someone more suited to the role. Or as Tardar herself might say: "I see this makes you happy. Stop it."

Women in the United States Armed Forces: A Guide to the Issues by Darlene M. Iskra
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Women in the Armed Forces: A Guide to the Issues is a fantastic piece of scholarly work. Not only is it a very well-written historical account of women's service in the various branches of the US military from the Revolutionary War to the present, it is also an unvarnished and unbiased look at the many issues that women have and continue to face when serving in the military. This book has a tremendous amount of detailed information that documents both the successes and challenges faced by women throughout history in the U.S. military services. The author, who has lived through some challenging experiences during her illustrious naval career, has taken great care to identify and discuss such issues as: the combat exclusion laws and why they are out-of-date given the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, gender and sexual harassment (why it happens and what MUST be done to stop it), and the delicate balancing act that military women must face between family and military commitments. She does not sugarcoat the issues, instead she lays out the facts and offers real world solutions.
On a personal note I feel that Women in the Armed Forces: A Guide to the Issues is SPOT on with the issues that servicewomen have been and continue to fight against to have equality in the military. As a USN veteran, who was among the very first women to be assigned to a combat squadron that deployed with the USS Eisenhower shortly after the combat exclusion laws were repealed in 1993, I read it and thought of the barriers I had to fight against during my service….of the sexual harassment I faced, of the stereotyping and the refusal to allow me to do certain jobs because I was female in a traditionally male role, and of the difficult decisions I had to make regarding starting a family and dealing with deployment. As the author of Breastfeeding in Combat Boots: A Survival Guide to Successful Breastfeeding While Serving in the Military, a book for active duty military women who wish to breastfeed their children, I particularly found the section on family issues and the military to be of value. I also enjoyed reading the historical accounts of the many women who have served in the military and of their exploits and feats of bravery and courage, many going unnoticed. These stories offer a glimpse into the lives of women who have shattered stereotypes and made it possible for the women serving now to follow in their footsteps.
The book is a meticulously researched and well-sourced with an excellent bibliography for further study. It is scholarly, but written in a warm, engaging and very readable style. I would recommend this book for individuals who are looking for a well-written and detailed look at the issues face our military women. While the content is 'woman-specific' – it should be required reading for all officers and senior enlisted currently serving in all the branches as it will give them insight into how to better work with and manage the female personnel under their command. Furthermore this book is a good foundation for junior military personnel, officer and enlisted, to gain an insight into the issues facing women today from those who have paved the way, and hopefully make the needed changes as outlined in the book so that all women in the military can serve as equals with the men.

Ira Wohl is an Oscar-winner for BEST BOY (1979), a feature documentary about his then 50-year old mentally retarded cousin Philly's journey toward greater independence; the maker of the sequel, Best Man (1997), in which we see how Philly has survived and thrived; and the three-quel, Best Sister (2006), which features Philly's sister Frances at age eighty, living in a time when almost all the people, values and traditions that once gave her life meaning, have now ceased to exist.
In 2004 Wohl produced People Say I'm Crazy (2003), the first-ever documentary photographed and directed by someone with schizophrenia. John Cadigan, a visual artist who had a psychotic break at age twenty-one, invites audiences to tour the world inside his "beautiful mind" – a chaotic, paranoid and imaginative universe, where he struggles to know what is real, yet still manages to live a creative and fulfilling life.
Wohl holds a master's degree in Social Work from University of Southern California and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice, as well as a part-time one at UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Hospital and Institute, where he sees the students for psychotherapy. He has just returned from Chicago, where he filmed a series of fourteen in-depth interviews covering the entire spectrum of mental disorders, for a new set of DVDs on the process, utility and philosophy of diagnosis.

With tears in his eye, Pastor Felix, an immigrant from Africa, said, "I never thought I would be able to earn a bachelor's degree. You are making this dream possible."
Pastor Felix is among a group of pastors who are seeing their dream of theological education come true, thanks to a new partnership to bring bachelor's and master's degrees in theology to Nazarenes in New Zealand.
Over 30 years ago, Neville Bartle, district superintendent of New Zealand, who was then a missionary in Papua New Guinea, wrote in his master's thesis about the church in New Zealand's need for a means of educating pastors.
"Without this education, the church will continue to limp along, becoming increasingly weaker with each passing generation. "
Thirty years later that warning still rings true.
"One of our needs for many years has been affordable and accessible theological education from a Wesleyan Holiness perspective in New Zealand," he said.
Today, God has answered that need in several ways. First, He lay the burden of helping to train and equip pastors on a pastor's heart when He sent Jaron and Elizabeth Graham and their son, Quentin, from Jaron's hometown of Lovington, New Mexico, to serve as missionaries in New Zealand.
In New Mexico, for seven years they served as lead pastor (Jaron) and pastor to kids and families (Elizabeth), starting a non-profit after-school program, a summer care program, and developing a community-wide food coalition for feeding and meeting utility assistance needs.
They have always felt passionate about sharing Jesus through international relationships, so they eagerly accepted the call to serve as missionaries, pastoring the Crossroads Church of the Nazarene in Hamilton, New Zealand. Hamilton is a city of 150,000 people on New Zealand's North Island, a place where only a small percentage of people participate in a church community, teen suicide rates are high and pastoral education from a Wesleyan holiness perspective is limited.
The Grahams have only been in Hamilton for a little over a year, but have quickly learned to love their new country, finding New Zealand a fascinating culture. With its own "flair," it is a "first world" culture that is quite different from American or European cultures. Almost 40 percent of the population of Auckland, the nation's largest city, was born in another country. Many have come from India, Asia, Pacific islands, as well as Europe. This trend has certainly been reflected in the Nazarene churches. Of the 29 Nazarene churches, two pastors were born in New Zealand. The rest of the pastors were born in 19 different countries. Most of them are bi-vocational and, although they are skilled immigrants, they have had little access to theological education. The Grahams felt impressed that God was leading them to find a way to provide this education.
"In order for the church to thrive, our pastors must be strong leaders to build strong churches," Jaron said.
For the past nine months, Jaron has been working diligently to partner with Nazarene Theological College (NTC) in Brisbane, Australia, to provide accredited Wesleyan theological education for New Zealand. In the past, many potential students found it too difficult to participate at the college because most of the pastors are migrants, they face an up-hill financial battle trying to get established in New Zealand and do not have the funds to go to Australia to attend the college.
There is a need for contextual education, as the diversity of pastors brings very different learning styles, cultural norms, and educational experiences.
Taking all of this into account – to be accessible, affordable, contextual, have resources and support – a partnership being referred to as Nazarene Theological College-Auckland has been established so that students will be able to receive a bachelor's or even master's degree without ever leaving the country. This is done through distance classes that are facilitated locally. Many thanks go to NTC Principal Rob Fringer and the leadership across the Tasman Sea in Australia that is helping to make this partnership possible.
A pilot class took place in September 2016. Together, five course of study students: four bachelor's students, one master's student, and some auditing participants engaged in an intensive, nine-day pastoral theology course. Among this group were a fourth generation Nazarene pastor from India and a student who had formerly followed Hinduism. Jaron was the registrar, the librarian, the facilitator and the director for NTC-AKL. Elizabeth provided much academic support in reading the students' papers, giving training in writing, and developing research skills. The students received the same material and were all together in the classroom but worked at their individual levels. This seemed to raise the bar for all as they sought to engage. And all passed the class.
The plan has also been blessed by Mid-America Nazarene University (Kansas), Nazarene Publishing House (Kansas), and the Wesleyan Holiness Digital Library (online), which together are helping to provide the beginnings of a library for the pastors. The Grahams would be very happy for anyone heading their way to bring a suitcase of books. NTC is also providing additional books for the library in the hopes that NTC-AKL might become a fully recognized teaching site in the future.
There has been a very positive response to this new plan for education.
Pastor Paul Talluri, of Auckland Telugu Church of the Nazarene, sees this opportunity for theological education not only as an improvement to pastors' ministries, but also a means to develop strong lay leaders who might feel a call to ministry. Talluri says he struggles to find strong leaders in his church because most come from non-Christian backgrounds and are so occupied with full-time jobs, they have little opportunity for training. He believes NTC-AKL is an answer to his prayers, so much that the church board paid half the tuition for two students to enter the degree course. They finished the course and in Talluri's words, "They are fired up and ready to do the next course."
"Now we are excited about being able to offer four classes a year of the Bachelor of Ministry degree through Nazarene Theological College in New Zealand," said Bartle. "This is a great step forward and something that the Nazarene Church in New Zealand has dreamed of for many years. Having Jaron and Elizabeth Graham to take the lead on this and getting it established is a big plus for the New Zealand District. This will make a significant difference in the years to come."

Ford Drivers Prepare For First Road Course Race of 2010
Kasey Kahne, driver of the No. 9 Budweiser Ford Fusion, who is coming off a season-best second-place last week, is the defending winner of this race and earlier today he spoke about how surprising that win still is today.
KASEY KAHNE – No. 9 Budweiser Ford Fusion – DID YOU REALLY NOT KNOW WHERE VICTORY LANE WAS LAST YEAR WHEN YOU WON? "Yeah, I had never looked. I never knew where it was at this track."
DID YOU EVER THINK YOU'D COME BACK HERE AS A DEFENDING CHAMPION? "I always thought I'd win at a road course at some point, I just needed the laps and the experience to do it, so we won last year and are the defending champs of this race. We need to run well again. We need to try and put together a solid race."
HOW IS IT TO BE IN LIMBO AS FAR AS NEXT YEAR? "It actually hasn't been bad at all for me. The future is gonna be a little different than what it is right now, but I've had commitments and when I make a commitment, I stick to it. I've stuck to it and I just want to run as well as I can and hope that everybody stays behind me and do the best job I can until I'm done."
ANY NEW POSSIBILITIES THIS WEEK? "I haven't even paid attention this week. I've been doing my own thing. I actually talked with Mr. Hendrick this morning and we just chatted. We stay in touch every week and we didn't even cross that path. I didn't even ask anything about next year and he didn't bring it up, either. We were just talking about other stuff, so I would say there is no new news."
DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT AT ALL OR JUST FOCUS WEEK TO WEEK? "I actually just focus on what I'm doing week to week. He said he'd take care of it. He's been an awesome guy and a great guy to talk to. What he loves to do in this sport is win races and they've done it for a long time, so I just leave it up to him. He said he would and I stick behind that. I think it'll be a pretty awesome opportunity whatever it is next year."
WHEN SOME DRIVERS MAKE A CHANGE IT LEADS TO ANIMOSITY WITH THEIR EXISTING TEAM. THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE HAPPENED WITH YOU AND THE 9 TEAM. "It's helped me a lot, but it's just that things change. Life changes, opportunities change and I've said it from the start – I just want to finish strong. I want to do everything I can to be the best driver I can throughout the rest of this year and work with my team and be committed. I think everybody here wants the same, so, hopefully, it keeps going the way it is and things finish strong for us. I know Budweiser has really been behind us. Ford has really been behind us, and it's nice to have people like that wanting to run well before the season is done."
YOU ARE ROUGHLY 200 POINTS OUT OF A CHASE SPOT. DO YOU EVEN LOOK AT THAT RIGHT NOW OR JUST CONCENTRATE ON WINNING RACES AND THE POINTS WILL TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES? "That's really all we want is to win races and make the chase. It's all you think about when it comes to NASCAR as a driver, so that's still what we're shooting for. We need to throw down some big races for awhile if we want to make it, but it's definitely possible."
HOW PROFESSIONALLY SATISFYING WAS IT FOR YOU TO BEAT TONY STEWART ON A ROAD COURSE HERE LAST YEAR? "It felt really good. I saw Tony. I saw Jimmie. I saw Ambrose. I saw Juan Pablo. I mean, they were all one or two cars behind me the last 20 laps or however long it was, and it just felt good to hold them off and not make a mistake and kind of keep my head focused and look forward and finish strong and we were able to do that."
YOUR AVERAGE FINISH WAS AROUND 22ND or 23RD HERE. WAS IT A SURPRISE? "It was definitely a surprise. I don't know how many times I've talked about that after that race for the next couple of weeks, but it still is, today, was a surprise winning that race. It hasn't changed. That's what I said then and it still is today."
THAT JUMPSTARTED YOUR CHASE RUN LAST YEAR, DIDN'T IT? "Yeah, that was a big win for us and Atlanta was a big win for us, and just trying to get the consistency we needed to make the chase. It worked out and it was good."
SO ARE YOU A BETTER ROAD COURSE DRIVER THAN PEOPLE GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR? "I've always been kind of decent at road racing, I thought – just alright, but like nothing special – kind of decent. Last year, the car was really good. We kind of figured some things out that I was looking for, that I needed to race better, but we've always qualified decent, and I think we should have a good shot to run up front again this weekend, if we can get that balance that we had last year."
The first road course race of the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season is set for Sunday at Infineon Raceway, and Ford drivers Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth spoke about their expectations.
CARL EDWARDS – No. 99 Aflac Ford Fusion – "I really enjoy driving at this race track. It's a lot of fun. It's really slippery, and that makes it a real challenge for the drivers. It's a cool weekend for myself and Paul and Brad because we get to go back and forth and run two legendary road race tracks in a weekend. That's pretty cool. Practice went pretty well here. This is all the practice we get, so we've got to gather all of our notes and go lay down a qualifying lap, and then we're gonna head to Wisconsin. It's a pretty fun day."
YOU HAVE GUYS RACING HERE THAT YOU WON'T SEE NEXT WEEK. IS THERE ANY ANNOYANCE THAT THEY MIGHT BE TAKING AWAY POINTS FROM GUYS TRYING TO MAKE THE CHASE, AND IS THERE A CONCERN WITH HOW THEY MIGHT RACE YOU? "There's no annoyance for me at all. I think it's neat to be able to race with different guys — guys that are road race specialist. I've had days hurt buy guys that race full-time with us and guys that don't, so it doesn't seem to be any different. It gives guys an opportunity in front of a different audience and possibly perform really well. I think it's good, and I think it's also good when a guy like Ekstrom comes over here and has had such huge success in other forms of motorsports and he gets to see how he stacks up with us and we get to see how we stack up with those guys. I would say the positives far outweigh the negatives."
WHAT ABOUT CELEBRATING FATHER'S DAY AS A NEW DAD FOR THE FIRST TIME? "Father's Day has never applied to me before, and I've also been thinking about my father a little more. Now that I'm a dad, I know I have a different respect for him – more respect for what he's done – so I'll make sure to call my dad on Father's Day this weekend, that's for sure."
AT WHAT POINT DOES CHASE PREPARATION START TO BECOME SOMETHING YOU DO MORE? "For us, it's already started. We're trying to just lock ourselves into the chase. If we were farther up in points, we wouldn't be thinking about that, but the farther back you are, the more you think about it – the earlier you think about it. So, for our Aflac team, that's the first hurdle we have to get over to have what we would determine or consider a successful year, so we're on it. We're thinking points."
YOU WON'T BE HERE TOMORROW. ANY IDEA WHAT YOUR TEAM WILL DO AND IS THERE A NEGATIVE TO IT? "I think that it is a negative that I won't be here. I don't think it's a huge negative because I feel very comfortable at this race track, and I feel the race is long enough. As long as I can get a good qualifying spot I think we'll be really good. We've got a large enough group of teammates that are gonna be here that we can lean on a little bit, and Bill Elliott is gonna hopefully have a little bit of time to hop in the car and try some different stuff we want to work on. That's just pretty cool for me that Bill Elliott is gonna drive my race car, but he'll be able to help us a little bit. That's our plan."
DO YOU THINK FANS CAN EXPECT MORE BUMPING AND BANGING AT THIS RACE? "Maybe they can expect more, but the problem is even if a guy want to bump somebody out of the way and rough them up a little bit, it's hard to move them out of the way hard enough to end his day, so he'll be right back to you quickly. I don't think you'll see more rough driving, and I don't know if this is good or not, but I do believe you'll see a little different fuel strategy with the potential for all the green-white-checkereds. It could be a very different finish to the race. We talked about that a little bit the other day at Road America because it's so big, but this place is pretty big, too. If you get guys start running out of fuel on one green-white-checkered, and then there's another one, it could be a really strange finish to the race. I don't know. All the fans I talk to like the racing here. There are some diehard oval racing fans that don't understand it, but the people who understand this type of racing, I think, really appreciate it. I know as a fan I've always thought this was really neat."
WHAT DO THE CARS GO THROUGH IN THIS RACE AND IF YOU TAKE CARE OF THE CAR THROUGH THE RACE WILL IT RUN BETTER? "My car goes through a lot usually here and that's not always good. You hit the curbs, and every once in a while we all find ways to hit the curbs extremely hard, and that's not good. Probably the dumbest move I've made here that surprised me was I was driving down the front straightaway and I was trying to really apex the first left-hander and I kept getting closer and closer to the wall and I finally hit the wall with the left side of the car on the inside of the track. The wall is right here by your head and it was like, 'Bam! Bob will never know how I scraped the wall with the left side of my race car like that.' But the car goes through a lot. The brakes have to be worked very hard. The transmission gets used more than any other track we go to. I'd say these road courses are very taxing on the vehicle, plus you get down here and get spun around and hit and banged, and the car can still be competitive, but it can be really bent up after the race."
YOU SAID BILL ELLIOTT WILL BE IN YOUR CAR AND PAUL MENARD'S CAR? "Yeah, and I think Paul is priority number one for them, and then if he has time, he's gonna run 10 laps or something in our car."
AT WHAT POINT DO YOU GUYS HAVE TO START LOOKING AT GETTING FIVE BONUS POINTS FOR LEADING AND THINGS LIKE THAT THROUGHOUT A RACE? "We just have to get all the points we can. Last weekend, for example, we were running well enough that I thought we had a chance at a top-five finish, so we didn't want to stay out and lead a lap that way and lose track position, so it's a balance. If we were running towards the back of the lead lap, then we should be thinking about that, but we're not quite there yet. If we're having a bad day, though, we'll think about that."
MATT KENSETH – No. 17 Crown Royal Black Ford Fusion – HOW IS YOUR CAR? "My car today, most of the day, has not been very good. We had it a little bit better at the end of practice, but, most of the day, it hasn't been very good. We kind of tried some different things in race trim and none of them really worked, so we'll try something different tomorrow."
HOW DO YOU LIKE ROAD RACING? "I enjoy it, really. I don't feel like I'm probably the best at it. I've never really done it a lot. It started in the Nationwide Series. I think Watkins Glen was the only road course. That was the first road course I'd ever seen or been on, so I don't do it a lot. When you don't do something a lot, for some of us it's harder to be good at it than maybe others, so I don't feel like I'm the best at it, but I enjoy it. It's fun. I don't mind it. It's hard to categorize road courses even though there are two of them together because it's like comparing Martinsville and Michigan. I enjoy Watkins Glen a little bit more than this layout because this layout is very tight and slow and technical. We're doing two-wide restarts and there's not enough room for one car much less two, so this one is a little bit more frustrating and tougher in a way than Watkins Glen, but road course racing is alright."
DOES HAVING A SMALL CHILD CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT FATHER'S DAY? "I've always looked at Father's Day as looking at my dad, and I guess your kids look at you. I don't really necessarily back to my kids at Father's Day. It's just one day, but if you're a dad it's a reminder that you're a dad and you need to do the best you can everyday and try to be the best parent that you can everyday, not just on Father's Day, but it's nice that they have a day honoring dads."
THERE IS A BABY BOOM GOING ON IN THE GARAGE? "Yeah, it's been like a little baby boom, so Kalin will have some friends around the track. I think the sport and what it goes through with some of the older guys retired and then you've got younger guys in there that will eventually end up meeting someone and getting married, and naturally most of them end up having kids. It's just that kind of time right now where everyone seems to be having kids, so it's pretty fun."
THEY'LL ALL GO TO DAYCARE TOGETHER? "I don't know about that, but I guess they can all hang out in the trailer park together when they all travel to the track."
HOW OFTEN DOES YOUR FAMILY COME TO THE RACES? Most of the time. Traveling is obviously more challenging when you have kids with you, especially young kids, but that's just part of it."
IN RACING, HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH THE JONESES? "It depends. You want to be the Joneses. You want everybody trying to keep up with you. Obviously, the way the sport is structured and the way the garage area is laid out, and the way they take shocks apart in tech in front of everybody, and they have so many rules, they obviously want to keep everybody as even as they can. With the huge teams we have today and how much information they share, it's probably harder to get an advantage than what you used to – at least a big advantage that other people don't know about – but it's been part of the sport ever since I've been around. Everybody is trying to see what those guys beating you are doing and why they're beating you so you can try to catch onto that."
SO IT'S NOT DETRIMENTAL AS FAR AS KEEPING YOUR EYES ON THAT? "Everybody has their own opinions about it. I think that, at times, it would be more interesting if we had 21 two-car teams and 21 owners, instead of really four or five that control this sport. In a way, sometimes, it seems like it would be more fun or maybe more competitive at times, but if it was like that, maybe you'd be wishing it was the other way, too. I don't know. But with the bigger organizations, you're watching other organizations and trying to see what they're doing to beat you."
DO YOU THINK THE SPORT WILL GET MORE CONSOLIDATED OR WILL WE SEE MORE INDEPENDENTS COMING BACK? "I have no idea. I can't predict or even guess the future, really. The big team thing, they tried to make the cap, but I don't think that really makes a difference because you can still share information and build people chassis and do all that. I don't know. If we can get through the next year or two and the economy gets back to normal, you might have a clearer picture on where the thing is going."
ANY CONCERN THAT ROAD COURSE SPECIALISTS COULD TAKE POINTS AWAY FROM YOU ON SUNDAY AND RACE MORE AGGRESSIVE BECAUSE THEY WON'T SEE YOU NEXT WEEK? "No, not at all. I think that's what racing is all about, having the best cars, teams and drivers show up and try to beat them. That's what racing is. The more competition the better and they should race hard. Everybody should race hard no matter where you are in points. If you're first in points or last in points, everybody has an equal right to be out there and race for that win."
WHEN DO YOU KNOW IT'S TIME TO GO AND RUN HARDER THAN EARLIER IN THE RACE? "I've always been racing really hard. Maybe it's a little different for the top three or four guys. If they've got a chance to win and there's a time where they feel like they got themselves in a spot where they could get a fender knocked in or get wrecked, then they might back out of that spot, but I've been more toward the middle of the pack the last four or five weeks and I've raced as hard as I can race from lap one to the last lap of the race every week all year. I haven't had the luxury to have a car that's been so good where you didn't have to race that hard all of the time.'
GREG BIFFLE – No. 16 3M Ford Fusion – HOW WAS PRACTICE? "I thought it was pretty good. We came with a little bit different package than we've been road racing the last couple of years. It's something the RPM cars have had. It seems like it turns pretty good. It's real fast on all the high-speed stuff, and not so fast on the low-speed stuff, so we're working on that. It's a little bit tight and it spins the tires, but we were pretty decent in qualifying trim. I'm looking forward to maybe a top-15 or top-10 if we don't make any mistakes in qualifying, so I'm pretty happy with the car so far."
WHERE DO YOU FALL AS FAR AS ROAD RACERS GO? "I know I'm not brilliant. We've got that part figured out (laughing). I'm inherently an aggressive type of driver and tend to overdrive the race car a lot of times, so I'm a little more 'go get 'em' on the race track, but you can only do what your car will do as well. I try and stay calm enough to not break the gear box and keep on the race track and not run the brakes off of it, so, other than that, I go as hard as I can. Track position is important. Two years ago I got track position here leading the race and I drove off the end of the race track when the green came out going up the hill, so that was probably a little overaggressive and I didn't have the tires cleaned off is really what happened. I'm probably that nature. I don't know what our fuel mileage is gonna turn out like. That really kind of sets the tone. I know about three years ago we had really, really good fuel mileage – a little bit better than the rest of the field, and we'll have to wait and see this time. And the other thing that is a big question mark is, 'Are you gonna put enough fuel in the tank to run three green-white-checkers at a road course like this? Are you gonna bank on maybe running one?' That's probably gonna be the biggest factor is who stops first and who can make it how far, and then who is gonna gamble on how many green-white-checkers we're gonna have."
WHEN DO YOU START PREPPING FOR THE CHASE? "I don't think we can start our prep for the chase until it looks like after Richmond now. We're on the bubble of making it. We're certainly thinking about it. We're always prepared for it and we're gonna be the best prepared we can be for the last 10, whether we're in it or not. We're working hard to keep ourselves in it. We had a few bad weeks there, and we're not over the hump yet. We still have a little ways to go to secure our position in that chase, but, realistically, unless you're really locked in there, you can't really get out of the box, so to speak, to try and get a jump start on everybody in that chase."
DO YOU WORRY ABOUT THE RINGERS BEING MORE AGGRESSIVE BECAUSE THERE'S NO PAYBACK. DO YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT? "Yeah, we definitely see that. Probably what we see more than anything out of the road race guys is they don't race the same as we race. Road racing, you have to be beside the guy or they're closing the door right to the bottom of the race track. That's just the way they race. That's a different culture over there. They're not probably as used to the spotters, and it's not every corner they've got a guy inside. A lot of times they're not even racing each other. They're running a lot slower with a lot slower cars – three different divisions on the race track at the same time – so a true road course ringer that that's all he does is road race and never oval track races in this series, you can totally tell when you come up on him that when you get a nose inside of him down in the corner that he doesn't know you're there or doesn't care that you're there. So you may not know what he's planning or thinking about doing. You definitely have to be aware of who you're racing around."
YOU HAVE A $1 MILLION STICKER ON YOUR CAR. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE SMALL BUSINESS PROMOTION? "Yeah, it's pretty exciting. Office Depot and 3M are teaming up for the Official Small Business of NASCAR. I think they picked a terrible race to do the contest at, but you enter at Officedepotracing.com and they're gonna pick two small businesses out of everybody that enters and the name of the business will be on our car and Tony Stewart's car at Dover. I don't know if you've looked at either one of our records at Dover, but they're pretty good. If either one of us wins the race with the small business on our car, the business wins $1 million. The two finalists win $10,000 no matter what, so it's a pretty exciting contest that 3M and Office Depot are running. I went and entered my business, but I'm not sure if I'll be eligible or not, and I don't know how I'd feel if I got on Tony's car versus mine. That might be a conflict (laughing)."
WHAT'S THE MOST VALUABLE LESSON YOU'VE LEARNED HERE AND DOES IT STILL APPLY? "I'm pretty decent at this race track, but I still haven't mastered this place. There are some things about it. I tell you what, I do know one thing I learned when I first came here is I spent most of practice over on the side of the hill when I brought a Northwest Tour car here, and we spent probably three-quarters of practice raising the seat up so I could see where I was going because we inherently sit low in the race cars and eyeballs just above the dash. You can barely see over the hood because we oval track race constantly, but here there were three or four spots on the race track, where you come over the hill and all the way down until I hit the brakes I couldn't see where I was going. I couldn't see anything because the track was going away, so I raised the car up and bolted two-by-fours under the seat so I could see where I was going. That's one thing I learned that still applies today is everytime I come here road racing I raise the seat up so I can see with the elevation changes where I'm going."
Paul Menard, driver of the No. 98 Menards Ford Fusion, will be competing in both the NASCAR Sprint Cup and NASCAR Nationwide Series road course races this weekend. He spoke about his plans after practice today at Infineon Raceway.
PAUL MENARD – No. 98 Menards Ford Fusion – "We have a really good car. Our MasterCraft Ford was really quick in practice on our test day Thursday. The last I heard Michel Jourdain had it P1 in the practice this morning, so we've got a really fast car. Matt Pucia is doing a really good job preparing it and, hopefully, I don't let them down and we get to Victory Lane on Saturday."
BILL ELLIOTT WILL PRACTICE YOUR CAR. HOW DOES THAT FEEL? "We were tossing around names to practice the car and Slugger said, 'We can probably talk to Bill Elliott.' I was like, 'Man, I didn't even think that was possible.' We did our test at Road Atlanta a couple of weeks ago and Bill Elliott came down and sat in the car and drove a few laps and he was like a little kid. He's cool to hang out with and you couldn't ask for a more experienced guy to help set up the car and help the guys out. I really appreciate Bill doing that. It sucks that we're gonna have to miss a full day on Saturday, but I think our car here is pretty good too."

Each FT Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.15 per Common Share for a period of 3 years from the closing date. Should the closing price of the Company's commons shares on the TSXV be equal to, or above $0.20, on 20 consecutive business days, the term of the FT Warrant will be reduced to 30 days from the 20th day.. I was not surprised to find that I agreed with the Conservative viewpoint only a third of the time. I will be looking at more Canadian issues over the next few weeks. I hope this will be interesting; I hope people will engage the discussion. My girlfriend and I are taking all of next summer off to drive across Canada and move to Vancouver. The trip won be with all of our stuff, of course. Our living arrangements for the fall will be decided before hand and our stuff shipped. But if an order comes out from Defra, I will submit to the cull. We've only had them 3 months and are concerned about the potential spread of avian flu and mutation to a human disease. We only have a small garden and are rarely visited by birds so I suppose the risk is low. The Moncler lower outdoor jackets appear like the fresh you. These types of carriers are usually ideal for places of work as well as buying characteristics. Immediately after drying, this lower outdoor Canada Goose Parka will end up toned. At last month Bloomfield Holiday Tournament, NHS 215pounder Carlo Rosa pinned PV Jack Pohlman. On Tuesday, Pohlman got his revenge and edged Rosa by an 118 decision. For Passaic Valley, the decision was critical because they knew they were outmatched at 103 pounds, where the Raiders outstanding freshman Bobby Trombetta (81 on the season) was waiting to close out the night.. As I left my student years behind and reflected on my experiences, I realized that the students who were strongest in grade school also spent more time at their craft in consistent learning environments. While there are the gifted types like my sibling who could whip up a winning political science essay on the fly, most people have to put in the time to get the results. You don understand your school work, sit down with your teacher or parent and spend time trying to understand.

Elizabeth, a 20 year-old from County Durham, has been running since the age of 9 when she joined Shildon Running & Athletic Club. She has competed in running events at local and national level, including representing the North East Counties at the UK Inter-Counties Cross Country Championships and World Trials. Last year she was the Senior Girls 3000m Champion at the Durham County Schools competitions and came third on the cross country team at the English Schools Championships.
Last year Elizabeth ran her first Half Marathon in the Lake District and came 1st in the under-20's category. The course was very hilly but she still managed to complete it in 1 hour 44 minutes.
Not only is Elizabeth a talented long distance runner, she is also the 5th generation in her family to be a member of the Women's Section.
The Edinburgh Marathon Festival is Scotland's largest running event and Elizabeth will be joined by around 300,000 runners raising money for their nominated charities. If you would like to sponsor Elizabeth in her efforts to raise money for The Royal British Legion Women's Section, please visit her fundraising page below:

Israel's contribution to the worldwide effort to find a cure for diabetes received a big boost last week when a five-year, $30 million program was launched in Jerusalem.
The D-Cure (Diabetes Care in Israel) program hopes to bolster Israel's drive to become a world leader in diabetes research. Sixty of the world's leading diabetes experts and 400 Israeli specialists were on hand for Russell Berrie International Diabetes Symposium, which launched the D-Cure program.
Some five percent of the American population has been diagnosed with the chronic disease, which carries a high risk of complications affecting the heart, blood vessels, vision, kidneys, and the extremities, and the number is expected to double in the next two decades if nothing is done to prevent it. In the U.S. treating diabetes costs about $100 billion a year, with the main treatment being insulin injections.
D-Cure president Prof. Itamar Raz, who is also president of the Israel Diabetes Association and head of the Diabetes Center at Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem, said the non-profit umbrella organization would triple the current level of research of the disease and involve more than 300 researchers from medical and scientific centers around the country.
"The disease is a difficult global epidemic that needs unification of forces to wipe it out," he said. "Israel — despite its small size — can become one of the world's leading centers – provided there is interdisciplinary cooperation among the researchers here and abroad as well as a significant increase in funding. With the signing of the agreement with the Russel Berrie Foundation, we have met both criteria."
The Russell Berrie Foundation – named for the late prominent American Jewish philanthropist and headed by his widow, Angelica Berrie, who attended the symposium – has already committed itself to covering the costs of the first two years of the project.
D-Cure activists hope that the program will increase funding for research and improve clinical care for those suffering from diabetes complications which affect the heart, blood vessels, vision, kidneys, sexual potency, and the extremities.
D-Cure, whose chairman is hi-tech pioneer Boaz Misholi (founder of Comverse Technology), aims at the establishment here of three integrated diabetes centers that would combine the highest level of scientific research and clinical care and treat the patient comprehensively for diabetes and all related complications.
Although Raz, an eminent researcher and clinician, said he himself does not expect to discover the cure to diabetes, he hopes that the many young Israeli researchers who will be part of D-Cure will be at the cutting edge of worldwide diabetes research.
"The goals of the program are to enhance the research – both clinical and basic – in the field of diabetes," Raz told ISRAEL21c. "We have many outstanding young researchers. In fact, our scientific board met today with 12 fantastic young people, and we're going to help them get the things they need. We're going to dramatically change the culture of research here. We're already in the process of supporting 31 grants."
The project will also send promising young Israeli diabetes researchers to the United States for fellowships. Among the possible avenues towards prevention and cure are gene therapy, a diabetes vaccine, improved oral medications, and turning stem cells into insulin-producing cells for transplant into the body.
"In many fields in diabetes research, Israel is leading the world – in looking for islet cells, and alternatives to beta cells," said Raz. "But there are a couple of problems with research here. There's not enough collaboration between centers — everybody's working in isolation. And there's not enough opportunity to take first steps. Our purpose is to create a new environment. We're going to look for the young talent and find those with character, that are going to collaborate with others for the common good and for research in Israel and the world."
As head of the Hadassah Diabetes Center (HDC), Raz has concentrated on promoting basic research in diabetes and the application of the results in clinical studies involving Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic patients. Raz was instrumentally involved in the development of an experimental drug that could stop the progression of type I diabetes by halting the destruction of insulin-producing cells. Developed by Israeli pharmaceutical company Peptor Ltd., the drug contains a substance that prompts the immune cells to release a harmless anti-inflammatory chemical meant to calm inflamed natural tissue instead of a deadly poison meant for an unwelcome stranger.
Raz said that the development marked the first time that researchers had shown that beta cell destruction could be stopped by outside immunization. But, he added, there are still many unknowns in the beta cell research that he hopes D-Cure will provide the answers for.
"We're going to look at the important diabetes projects for which Israel can be at the forefront, and work on those. One of the most important steps in finding a cure for diabetes is to be able to assess the amount of beta cells and their function at each moment of the disease – something we don't know how to do today. But we've built an amazing team not just from doctors, but also engineers, chemists, and people working in nanotechnology and we're hoping to be the first in the world to provide the solution."

Welcome to the Cañada College Arts & Olive Festival!
The annual Arts & Olive Festival is a special event that represents the warm nature of Cañada. It brings our community together around gourmet food, lively music, dancing, and the common goal of helping young people earn their education.
The festival began in 1998 as an effort to create and fund student scholarships. It has since grown to become one of the largest scholarship fundraisers of the year, raising approximately $12,000 to help students pay for college.
For nearly half a century, Cañada College has been an integral part of Redwood City, Woodside and south San Mateo County communities. Whether they are retooling for a new career, preparing to transfer to a four-year university, learning much-needed basic skills, or taking a class for the sheer enjoyment, students have found Cañada to be a warm, caring place. The Arts & Olive Festival symbolizes this.
The Cañada community welcomes you to campus! We hope you enjoy this year's Arts & Olive Festival… thank you for supporting our students.
Larry G. Buckley, Ph.D.

When you own a website, marketing endeavors are inevitable. It's not about being a salesperson, it's about spreading the word about your website. If nobody knows about your website, you're not making profits. Email marketing is a way to remain in touch with current clients and keep contact with prospective clients.
Newsletters and company updates are popular email marketing methods. By keeping your business offerings in front of people frequently, you will increase sales over time. Once you start getting familiar with email concepts, there are several basic terms you should now. Consider the following mini glossary to familiarize yourself with the latest email marketing terms:
Authentication – Email authentication refers to the bits of info that identify the sender of email to the Internet Service Providers (more commonly called ISPs). This makes businesses accountable for the email messages they are sending out. Updated technology makes email authentication easy.
Domain Keys (DK) – These are signatures added to your email messages to verify the domain name the mail came from. This gets your email marketing messages into your clients' and prospective clients' inboxes rather than having them filtered out into a spam folder. Also referred to as Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM).
Spam – We all know what spam is. When you send unsolicited email marketing messages, you are sending out spam. People are supposed to give you direct permission or opt-in at your website to receive email messages from your domain. Sending spam marketing messages minimizes the credibility of your business and may even cause you to lose customers rather than gain them. Build email marketing lists from legitimate sources so you know you are reaching targets who are genuinely interested in what you have to offer.
Tracking – Once your email marketing message goes out into cyberspace, tracking tells you who opened, clicked, forwarded and bounced. This information helps you to better understand your clients so you can develop future advertising campaigns accordingly. When subscriber click on your links or forward your emails, you know you're giving them what they want.
Use software, consult with other webpreneurs and avoid spamming when you develop your email campaigns for the new year. With a few updates, you'll watch your online sales soar!
Email Marketing Services get your mailings out fast!

How do we cope with growing pains?
A billion-dollar non-profit healthcare system engaged FutureSense to improve organizational strategy and effectiveness. The organization had a strong management team with a successful track record. Over time, the team had become over-extended and recognized that the "wheels were beginning to wobble." The time had come for the organization to make the transition from a large independent hospital to mature health system.
New growth opportunities existed in the field, but they required more than just opportunism. These prospects necessitated proactive identification, accelerated decision-making and effective execution. With this transformation on the horizon, FutureSense, the CEO, and leadership team worked together to:
• Distill the organization into core functional areas;
• Create new roles and responsibilities to streamline decision-making, break down the silos, and ensure proper accountability; and
• Institute a formal process for vetting, approving, and acting on new ideas.
The Board's approval and preliminary response were overwhelmingly positive. With help from the FutureSense team, the client swiftly implemented all changes.

In the online gambling world, it is easy for hackers and other con artists to parade at online casino operators in order to dupe would-be players into handing their money over. As the player, it is up to you to ensure that you don't fall victim to such fraud, and all it takes is a little bit of research. We suggest visiting a reputable casino guide such as onlinecasino.org after reading what this article has to offer.
Before deciding on which Canadian casino you wish to sign up with, it is important that you do a bit of internet research about the websites at which you're considering playing. Firstly, have a look at the casino's About Us page, which should contain a seal of approval from a reputable gambling jurisdiction. Some names to look out for are Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Malta and Kahnawake. These are locations that are well-known for their regulation of online gambling websites and have stellar reputations for keeping players safe.
Also be on the lookout for logos from third-party auditors like eCOGRA. These associations provide an additional level of safety for players by testing out the casino's software to ensure that the outcome of all games is random. By playing at casinos with this level of protection, players can rest assured that they will not fall victim to fixed games.
Players should also be sure to check out gambling portal and review websites. These websites seek to provide players with honest opinions about a wide range of online casinos, ensuring that players are kept well-informed about the websites at which they choose to gamble.
