MONDAY, June 30, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Young children who are severely malnourished may be at greater risk for having high blood pressure later in life, new research suggests.
Poor nutrition starting before birth to the age of 5 may affect the development of the heart, the study authors reported.
"If nutritional needs are not met during this time, when structures of the body are highly susceptible to potentially irreversible change, it could have long-term consequences on heart anatomy and blood flow later in life," study senior author Terrence Forrester, UWI Solutions for Developing Countries at the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, said in an American Heart Association news release.
"We are concerned that millions of people globally who suffer malnutrition before or after birth are at increased risk of hypertension in later life," Forrester said.
However, it's important to note that while this study showed an association between malnourishment in childhood and a higher blood pressure as an adult, it didn't prove that too little food in childhood was the cause of the higher blood pressure.
The researchers examined 116 adults who were malnourished as children growing up in Jamaica. Specifically, they assessed their height, weight and blood pressure. The researchers also performed echocardiograms or imaging tests to evaluate their heart function.
The researchers compared the results with information compiled on 45 men and women who were not malnourished as children. All of the adults in the study were between ages 20 and 39 years.
The study revealed the adults who had not been adequately nourished as children were at greater risk for high blood pressure. Those who grew up without enough food had higher diastolic blood pressure -- that's the bottom number in a blood pressure reading.
Adults who were malnourished as children also had greater resistance to blood flow in smaller blood vessels. And, their hearts pumped less efficiently.
The researchers warned that high blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
Although childhood hunger is most prevalent in developing countries, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that 8.3 million children lived in homes where there may not have been enough food to meet their needs in 2012.
The study was published online June 30 in the journal Hypertension.

Ive got a whole bunch of VESA Local Bus graphics cards, mostly trident and cirrus logic chipsets, but ive found one with a Tseng Labs ET4000AX chipset.
I read alot of negative stuff on the Vogon's forum about Trident and to stay away from their crappy cards, and i see that the ET4000 was a very popular chip.
Since these predate mostly before my time when i got into computers, I would like to know what is a good chip, and whether or not the trident chips deserve the negativity they seem to get, as i thought they were a rather good chip.
Is there any better cards i should look out for?

IBM said it has not provided client data to the U.S. National Security Agency or any other government agency under surveillance programs involving the bulk collection of content or metadata.
The enterprise-focused company is the latest among U.S. tech companies to distance itself from NSA surveillance, which has raised concerns among customers worldwide about the safety of their data from U.S. government spying.
The U.S. cloud computing industry could lose $22 billion to $35 billion of its foreign market over the next three years to competitors abroad as a result of the revelations of the NSA programs, think tank Information Technology & Innovation Foundation said in August.
Some nations like Brazil have also considered asking service providers to hold data within the country, a move that some Internet companies like Google have described as potentially fragmenting the Internet.
In a letter to customers Friday, IBM said it had not provided client data stored outside the U.S. to the U.S. government under a national security order, such as an order under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or a National Security Letter.
Former NSA contractor, Edward Snowden, claimed through disclosures to newspapers that a number of Internet companies were providing real-time access to content on their servers to the NSA under a program called Prism, which the companies denied. The agency also had secretly broken into the main communications that connect the data centers of Google and Yahoo around the world, according to reports.
IBM denied providing client data to the NSA or any other government agency under Prism. It said it does not have "backdoors" in its products or provide software source code or encryption keys to the NSA or any other government agency for accessing client data.
In a series of commitments to its customers, Robert C. Weber, (IBM's senior vice president for legal and regulatory affairs, and general counsel wrote in the letter, which was also posted online, that "in general, if a government wants access to data held by IBM on behalf of an enterprise client, we would expect that government to deal directly with that client."
But if served by the U.S. a national security order for data from an enterprise client and a "gag order" prohibiting it from discussing the order with the client, the company promises to challenge the gag order through legal and other means, it said.
For enterprise clients' data stored outside the U.S., IBM holds that any U.S. government effort to obtain such data "should go through internationally recognized legal channels, such as requests for assistance under international treaties." It would challenge through legal and other means a U.S. government order for access to data of enterprise clients stored outside the country, it added.
On the government policy front, IBM has described data localization requirements by countries as short-sighted policies, that "do little to improve security but distort markets and lend themselves to protectionist tendencies." Governments should also not subvert commercial technologies, such as encryption, that are intended to protect business data, the company said in what appears to be a reference to reports that the NSA has been attempting to circumvent encryption technologies.
Other tech companies have also tried to reassure their customers in the wake of the Snowden disclosures. Microsoft told business and government customers worldwide in December that it is committed to informing them of legal orders related to their data, and will fight in court any 'gag order' that prevents it from sharing such information with customers. The company also plans to encrypt customers' information moving between its data centers, with plans to complete the project by the end of 2014.
Yahoo and Google have also announced strengthening encryption of their services.
IBM said its letter was in response to customer questions on how best to secure their data, where to locate it, and how the company would respond should governments request access. It was also a matter of interest to its employees, partners and shareholders, Weber wrote.
In December, the Louisiana Sheriffs' Pension and Relief Fund sued IBM in a district court in New York, claiming that it failed to inform investors that sales in China would slow after disclosures that IBM was cooperating with the NSA spying program. Weber said at the time the suit was "pushing a wild conspiracy theory." IBM had attributed a drop in hardware sales in the third quarter partly to delayed procurement by Chinese government agencies while the local government framed a new economic policy.

Each Sunday, in many churches across North America, congregants hear these words preparing them for communion: "The Lord Jesus, on the night when he was betrayed, took a loaf of bread ..."
However, few churchgoers kneeling for bread and wine at the altar may know that these words in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 are set in a longer section (11:17-34) that begins sharply: "Now in the following instructions, I do not commend you, because when you come together, it is not for the better, but for the worse!" Paul continues the attack in verse 20: "When you come together it is not really to eat the Lord's supper. For when the time comes to eat, each of you goes ahead with your own supper, and one goes hungry, and another becomes drunk" (emphasis added).
What Paul describes sounds more like a food fight in a high school cafeteria than our solemn rituals. Have we missed something in this text?
This article isn't mainly about food. It's about inequality—the 99 percent versus the 1 percent. But when you live in the Roman Empire where most inhabitants live at or below subsistence, earning enough daily bread is the main thing you think about.
A longtime friend, George McClain, and I are presently finishing a curriculum simulating a house church planted by Paul in Corinth during the years 50 to 51 C.E. We owe much to the research of biblical and classical scholars and archeologists on power relations in the Roman Empire. This "empire-critical" method examines the sociological, political, religious, and economic structures that underpin first century Rome. Such structures contrast starkly with the "kingdom of God" as proclaimed by Jesus and his apostle Paul.

DUDES!!!! I was totes just cruisin' yahoo and came across this article … OMG OMG OMG AH-MAZE-ING!!! It analyzes the psychological choices we make when we play rock, paper, scissors – READ!!!!!
Per Yahoo: In the game Rock, Paper, Scissors, two opponents randomly toss out hand gestures, and each one wins, loses or draws with equal probability. It's supposed to be a game of pure luck, not skill — and indeed, if humans were able to be perfectly random, no one could gain an upper hand over anyone else.
There's one problem with that reasoning: Humans are terrible at being random.
Our pathetic attempts to appear uncalculating are, in fact, highly predictable. A couple of recent studies have provided insights into the patterns by which people tend to play Rock, Paper, Scissors (and why). Abide by them, and you'll be riding shotgun and eating the bigger half of the cookie for the rest of your life.
According to Graham Walker, veteran player and five time organizer of the Rock, Paper Scissors World Championships, there are two paths to victory in RPS: Eliminating one of your opponent's options — for example, influencing her not to play Paper — and forcing her to make a predictable move. In both cases, Walker wrote on the website of the World RPS Society, "the key is that it has to be done without them realizing that you are manipulating them."
Rookies rock
Those two overarching strategies can be translated into executable moves, starting with the opening one. Expert players have observed that inexperienced ones tend to lead with Rock. Walker speculates that this may be because they view the move as strong and forceful. Either way, remember the mantra "Rock is for rookies," and simply throw Paper at the outset of a game to earn an easy first victory.
"Rock is for rookies" should be kept in mind against more experienced players, too. They won't lead with Rock — it's too obvious — so use Scissors against them. This throw will either beat Paper or tie with itself.
Double trouble
If your opponent makes the same move twice in a row, they almost certainly won't make that move a third time. "People hate being predictable and the perceived hallmark of predictability is to come out with the same throw three times in row," Walker wrote. [Why Aren't We Smarter?]
With that option eliminated, you're guaranteed either a victory or a stalemate in the next round. If you see a "two-Scissor run," for example, your opponent's next move will be either Rock or Paper. If you throw Paper, then, you'll either beat Rock or play to a draw.
Mind tricks
Like a Jedi, you can use the power of suggestion to influence your opponent's next move. When discussing a game, for example, gesture over and over again with the move that you want your opponent to play next. "Believe it or not, when people are not paying attention their subconscious mind will often accept your 'suggestion,'" Walker wrote.
This trick may work because of humans' tendency to imitate one another's actions. A recent study on decision-making in Rock, Paper, Scissors, published in the July 2011 issue of the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, found that players often imitate their opponents' last moves. Human mimicry seems to be involuntary.
Announcing your next move before a round starts also seems to be an effective mind trick, though it'll only work once. If you say you're going with Paper, for example, your opponent thinks you won't, Walker explained. Subconsciously, they'll shy away from Scissors (which beats Paper), and choose Rock or Paper instead. When you do end up throwing Paper, you'll score a victory or a tie.
Don't call it a come back
According to Walker, your opponent will often try to come back from a loss or tie by throwing the move that would have beaten his last one. If he lost using Rock, for example, he'll likely follow up by throwing Paper. Knowing this, you can decide what move to follow with yourself.
Interestingly, monkeys show the same behavioral pattern. In a study detailed in the May 2011 issue of the journal Neuron, researchers at Yale found that rhesus monkeys trained to play Rock, Paper, Scissors tended to react to a loss by playing the move that would have won in the previous round. This suggests monkeys, like humans, are capable of analyzing past results and imagining a different outcome, the researchers said. [The 6 Craziest Animal Experiments]
Humans can take the logic one step further, by imagining what their opponents might be imagining.
Low blow
There's one more ploy to fall back on — that is, if you're willing to sacrifice your honor and integrity for a victory. "When you suggest a game with someone, make no mention of the number of rounds you are going to play. Play the first match and if you win, take it is as a win. If you lose, without missing a beat start playing the 'next' round on the assumption that it was a best two out of three. No doubt you will hear protests from your opponent but stay firm and remind them that 'no one plays best of one,'" Walker wrote. A low blow, but a smart one.
Had no idea so much strategy was possible in Rock, Paper, Scissors? The rules of the game itself may be simple, but the human mind is not.

Interview Preparation Tips
10 Essential Steps to Take Before a Job Interview
Once you've snagged a job interview, the inevitable nerves that follow can make it difficult to focus on preparation. With a little bit of planning, though, you can bring your best business-ready self to the table. Follow these tips leading up to your big moment.
Several hours earlier:
1. It's important to have a healthy, substantial breakfast, of course, but it's just as important to eat well the night before so that you feel your best in the morning. Choose nutritious foods that fill and satisfy, and remember to limit caffeine to one or two servings. Chances are you'll already be feeling jittery, so put a cap on your coffee consumption.
2. Check the hourly forecast and grab any extra items that you may need: an umbrella, a raincoat, gloves, or suitable footwear, for instance.
3. Shoes are important: make sure your pair is both weather-appropriate and easy to walk in, because the last thing you want to do is trip your way through the office. The night before your interview, wear the selected shoes with socks for a couple hours to guarantee that they're broken in and comfortable.
4. Pack a small bag with all the hygiene necessities: floss, travel-size deodorant, a compact mirror, and any makeup essentials that you may want to use for a morning touch-up. Include a tin of mints and avoid gum in case you forget to throw it away beforehand.
One hour prior:
5. Call a friend for a quick conversation that will place you in a lighter frame of mind. Try not to talk about your interview. Instead, focus on carefree, upbeat topics that will put you at ease.
6. Turn up the volume to amp up your energy. Nobody wants to talk to a tired deadbeat, let alone hire one. Companies want lively, enthusiastic employees, so listen to a special pump-up playlist featuring your favorite fast-tempo songs. Let yourself loosen up so that your personality can shine.
With minutes to go:
7. Turn off your phone. It's a no-brainer, but nothing screams "unprofessional" quite like a vibrating purse — not to mention a loud, awkward ringtone.
8. Drink up: hydration is key to staying alert, so bring a full water bottle to sip throughout the day. Once you reach the office, kindly accept any drink offers from the receptionist in case your mouth dries out midinterview.
9. Take deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Anxious butterflies can cause headaches and hazy vision, so concentrate on breathing to clear your mind.
10. Smile. Attitude is everything, and positivity packs the greatest punch when it comes to boosting your appeal.

At the instigation of Phil of Beersay fame, and because I don't have any Temptation for Friday's Durham Brewery promoted '#impoff' (Imperial Stout Twitter tasting) I ended up drinking a Nøgne Ø Imperial Stout yesterday evening.
It pours with a gorgeous deep tan head which retained well as I drank the beer. There's dark chocolate, a faint soapiness and a slight lactic/milky coffee note to the nose. On the palate it's both dry and rich, with lots more coffee, bitter cherry and pine hop flavour. It holds the alcohol well, not spirity. (Possibly dangerous that!) Good balance with the chocolate & touch of vanilla. Coffee keeps coming as you drink it, along with more spicy notes. On the whole a fine beer. It's not overly exciting, but certainly impeccably made. Sometimes it's easy to get carried away with the power of some modern beers when you're tasting them but for me they have to have a corresponding amount of character to back up high abv. I'm just not sure this needed to be 9%.

Alien::Base Perl Foundation Grant Report Month 5
After another busy month outside of the Perl world, I have gotten a little more time in the last week to work on Alien::Base. I must especially thank fellow WindyCity.pm member David Mertens for working with me on some of the Mac problems involved.
N.B. I also want to thank him for PDL::Graphics::Prima, which made the rest of my $work easier this month! If you need interactive plotting, give it a look! Also Chicagoans, WindyCity.pm is tomorrow, topic: Dancer.
Ok so after much tinkering, I have made enough changes to have the test suite passing on Mac, however, it gives warnings which make me think that while it is "working" in the blib directory, that it won't work once installed. To this end I have been putting together some "real" Alien::Base modules to be released into the ACME:: namespace (if you care, look for ACME::Alien::DontPanic (which consumes Alien::Base) and ACME::Ford::Prefect which depends on it). To make this a more real test case, I have been working to convert my
libdontpanic shared library to the proper autotools chain. I have spent the day learning about autoconf/automake/libtool etc, and let me say, if you never need to learn this, then consider yourself lucky!
Hopefully these test modules will illuminate the real problems in relocating the .dylib files, and perhaps other non-Mac problems too!

Auto Bild (issue 10/2011) has published part 2 of the "Super Summer Tire Test 2011".
The test size was 205/55 R16, test vehicle VW Golf.
Rating for the ContiPremiumContactTM 2: "recommended"
About the ContiPremiumContactTM 2:
+ very good driving behaviour
+ shortest braking distance on dry and wet surface
+ good aquaplaning performance
- lower mileage
The ACE (Automobil Club Europa) has published its Summer Tire Test 2011 for the size 205/55 R16 V. Test vehicle was a VW Golf VI.
Rating for the ContiPremiumContactTM 2: "Testwinner"
About the ContiPremiumContactTM 2:
The eagerly awaited results of the summer tire tests carried out by leading motoring organisations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland have now been published. These reveal that the ContiPremiumContactTM 2 in the size 185/65 R 15 was rated as 'highly recommended'.
Rating for the ContiPremiumContactTM 2: "highly recommended"
About the ContiPremiumContactTM 2:
+ very balanced summer tire
+ best ratings on dry road
+ also very good in wet
The test results in detail you can find here (in German):
www.adac.de , www.oeamtc.at , www.tcs.ch
Rating of "Stiftung Warentest" for the same test:
The ContiPremiumContactTM 2 earned top marks in the first summer tire test of the year by AutoZeitung magazine (5/2010 issue, February 2010). Tested size was 205/55 R16 V. Test vehicle was a Mercedes C-Class.
Rating for the ContiPremiumContactTM 2: "Test winner"
The test editors praised the product's refined structure, which demonstrated high grip and safe brake performance on both wet and dry asphalt. In their summary, the experts noted the "superior wet properties" and "top dry performance" of the Continental tyres. The editors tested ten products in all in the 205/55 R 16 V size class, used for a variety of compact and mid-sized passenger cars. Competitive products with low rolling resistance once again suffered multiple weaknesses in braking on wet roads.
3D grooves optimise braking performance in both wet and dry conditions. The even pressure distribution ensures very short braking distances.
Due to an increased number of tread blocks and an open inner shoulder, water is dispersed more efficiently. The harmonious round shape of the ground contact patch provides excellent protection against aquaplaning.
The asymmetric tread pattern stiffens the tire shoulder and provides optimum road contact.

Dear Editor:
For a couple of years now, my wife, who stays at home during the day is getting extremely frustrated, stressful and furious over the non-stop helicopter noise every day, weekdays and weekends.
Seven years ago, when we were looking for a place to buy, we definitely excluded Brooklyn waterfront neighborhoods such as Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO and Williamsburg because of the annoying helicopter traffic above there.
We found a haven in the north east part of Hoboken, only to find out after several years that the helicopters have followed us, migrating from the East River to the Hudson.
While our local politicians were busy meeting with developers in diners, quick NYC politicians were able to dump this problem on us. I recently wrote letters of complaints to the Mayor and to Beth Mason of the 2nd ward. The former resulted in a dry generic reply from a staffer telling me that the city has no power over this matter, while the latter got no response.
We visited the Williamsburg waterfront last weekend and the contrast is very obvious: Clean sky with no helicopters. Three hundred jobs in the helicopter tour industry and an annual income to NYC (that we in NJ don't benefit from), are not an excuse to disrupt the lives of so many thousands of residents, and it is ridiculous to claim that this attraction is the lifeblood of NYC tourism.
This issue absolutely requires an immediate action and full commitment from our local politicians and we all have to remember and remind them that November is election time.

Just a little over a month after a partnership was announced that puts CBS content on YouTube legally, CBS Interactive President Quincy Smith is beside himself with praise for their new partner. In a press release today, YouTube says that CBS content has been viewed 29.2 million times since October 18, which is an average of 857,000 views per day. Here's an example of a clip.
Smith says:
"Above all the other good news, what's most exciting here is the extent to which CBS is learning about its audience as never before," said Quincy Smith, President, CBS Interactive. "YouTube users are clearly being entertained by the CBS programming they're watching as evidenced by the sheer number of video views. Professional content seeds YouTube and allows an open dialogue between established media players and a new set of viewers. We believe this inflection point is the precursor to many exciting developments as we continue to build bridges rather than construct walls."
The two companies are also linking the YouTube deal to an increase in television rating for many CBS shows as well:
Ratings for the network's late night programs, in particular, have shown notable increases. CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman" has added 200,000 (+5%) new viewers while "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" is up 100,000 viewers (+7%) since the YouTube postings started. Although the success of these shows on YouTube is not the sole cause of the rise in television ratings, both companies believe that YouTube has brought a significant new audience of viewers to each broadcast.
The stats are good (about 1% of total YouTube video views), and if CBS really feels that there is a connection between the deal and television ratings, then it is certainly bodes well for YouTube. Maybe we'll see the Daily Show back up on YouTube sometime soon.
It's clear, though, that all of these press releases and lawsuits are chess pieces in a huge behind the scenes battle going on right now: Content owners are trying to figure out what to do and how to do it before offline television dies. YouTube, in the meantime, divides and conquers.
From what we hear, the content owners still on the sidelines are trying to create their own jointly-owned YouTube clone and license their content into it (thereby securing 100% of ad revenues). Massive litigation against YouTube would follow by these same players. But squabbling and general paralysis has stopped the discussions from moving forward.

By Mark Skilton, Capgemini
The recent announcement by Facebook of its decision to publish its data center specifications as open source illustrates a new emerging trend in commoditization of compute resources.
Key features of the new facility include:
- The Oregon facility announced to the world press in April 2011 is 150,000 sq. ft., a $200 million investment. At any one time, the total of Facebook's 500-million user capacity could be hosted in this one site. Another Facebook data center facility is scheduled to open in 2012 in North Carolina. There may possibly be future data centers in Europe or elsewhere if required by the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company
- The Oregon data center enables Facebook to reduce its energy consumption per unit of computing power by 38%
- The data center has a PUE of 1.07, well below the EPA-defined state-of-the-art industry average of 1.5. This means 93% of the energy from the grid makes it into every Open Compute Server.
- Removed centralized chillers, eliminated traditional inline UPS systems and removed a 480V to 208V transformation
- Ethernet-powered LED lighting and passive cooling infrastructure reduce energy spent on running the facility
- New second-level "evaporative cooling system", a multi-layer method of transforming room temperature and air filtration
- Launch of the "Open Compute Project" to share the data center design as Open Source. The aim is to encourage collaboration of data center design to improve overall energy consumption and environmental impact. Other observers also see this as a way of reducing component sourcing costs further, as most of the designs are low-cost commodity hardware
- The servers are 38% more efficient and 24% lower cost
While this can be simply described as a major Cloud services company seeing their data centers as commodity and non-core to their services business, this perhaps is something of a more significant shift in the Cloud Computing industry in general.
Facebook making its data centers specifications open source demonstrates that IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) utility computing is now seen as a commodity and non-differentiating to companies like Facebook and anyone else who wants cheap compute resources.
What becomes essential is the efficiencies of operation that result in provisioning and delivery of these services are now the key differentiator.
Furthermore, it can be seen that it's a trend towards what you do with the IaaS storage and compute. How we architect solutions that develop software as a service (SaaS) capabilities becomes the essential differentiator. It is how business models and consumers can maximize these benefits, which increases the importance of architecture and solutions for Cloud. This is key for The Open Group's vision of "Boundaryless Information Flow™". It's how Cloud architecture services are architected, and how architects who design effective Cloud services that use these commodity Cloud resources and capabilities make the difference. Open standards and interoperability are critical to the success of this. How solutions and services are developed to build private, public or hybrid Clouds are the new differentiation. This does not ignore the fact that world-class data centers and infrastructure services are vital of course, but it's now the way they are used to create value that becomes the debate.

FAQ on Choosing Sympathy and Funeral Flowers
Q: What is the difference between "sympathy" and "funeral" flowers?
A: Funeral arrangements are sent to the funeral home. They are a formal way to honour the life and pay respect to a special someone. Sympathy flowers on the other hand are usually sent to the home of a family who has suffered a loss. They are a reminder of your
sincere care and convey your wishes for peace. Sympathy flowers are usually smaller than the funeral arrangements.
Q: Are there any flowers that are not suitable to be sent as funeral flowers?
A: Flowers of any kind can be sent to a funeral service as any floral arrangement that is tastefully created is appropriate to express your heartfelt emotions and deliver your message of deep appreciation. Keep in mind that arrangements which are prone to fall over
should be avoided.
Q: Are there colours which are more appropriate for the funeral flowers?
A: The colour of the funeral flowers depends on your personal preferences or on the most favourite colour of the deceased. The colour can also be selected depending on its particular meaning. These are some examples of the colour meaning:
● white flowers symbolize innocence and spirituality;
● blue flowers bring a calming and peaceful feeling;
● red roses represent love and courage;
● purple is considered to be the colour of royalty and admiration.
Q: What kind of funeral arrangement should I choose?
A: Funeral arrangements vary in their size and design. Some of the most popular choices include:
● Heart Tributes
Heart-shaped tributes are a lovely way to express your warmest feelings and sincere love to a special someone. They are usually sent by close relatives.
● Casket sprays
Casket sprays are usually the main family tribute which is placed on the coffin.
● Crosses & Cushions
Crosses and cushions are traditionally sent by close relatives.
● Wreaths
Wreaths are widely preferred funeral arrangements because of their circular shape which symbolizes the circle of life.
● Posies
Posies are round arrangements that are traditionally send by distant relatives or younger children.
● Baskets
Floral baskets can be sent both as sympathy and funeral flowers.
● Custom tributes
You can also choose to send more personal tribute such as a letter tribute. This is a lovely way to express your deep love and caring thoughts.
Q: How to arrange the delivery of the funeral flowers?
A: It is better to send the funeral flowers to the funeral home directors. If it is not an option, the arrangement could be sent to a home
address. However, deliveries to crematorium or place of worship are not recommendable as there is often nobody to receive the
flowers. You can order the arrangement to be delivered for the next day. Next day delivery is available for orders placed before 4pm.
Q: There is something else I would like to ask.
A: At Handy Flowers we understand the difficulty each of us goes through during a time of loss. Don't hesitate to call our team to ask whatever questions you might have in regards to your floral needs. We are here to discuss your requirements and answer your questions. Please contact us on 020 3409 3030 or write to us at [email protected] to make an enquiry.

Puerto Rico: West Coast
99 Coastal Destinations Rated: Doing Well
Score: 69
A few communities suffer from "yacht overload," but most "offer local flavor" and low-scale tourism.
Here is a representative sampling of additional anonymous comments from the panelists. They are not necessarily the views of the National Geographic Society:
"Puerto Rico's west coast is still very local and authentic. Aside from Rincón, which has long been an expat surfer colony, the island's culture remains intact here. Environmentally, the beaches are pleasant, though some are not well maintained. Tourism here is still at the small-scale level. There are few large chain hotels and casinos. Built heritage is in ok condition and tourist spots are for the most part well cared for."
"The destination offers a local flavor, pace, and setting that is comfortable. When driving, the vistas can be beautiful. There are few areas of environmental concern."
"Sound and pleasant beaches with well scaled, locally owned tourism development. Authentic local culture is accessible. Planning needed to retain character."

Contact us at 423-283-4695 to check availability of remaining inventory.
We always recommend professional installation. If you're planning to install these floors yourself, be sure to thoroughly review your installation instructions. Find a professional installer in your area by visiting the National Wood Flooring Association.
Solid hardwood floors are only appropriate to install in locations that are at-grade or above-grade.
Engineered hardwood floors can be installed at any grade level. It's especially ideal for below-grade spaces like basements.
Similar to traditional tongue and groove, this method enables you to click, snap, or lock the flooring boards together.
Unlike traditional solid hardwood strips, a floating floor isn't nailed down. Instead, the planks are either glued or snapped together, sitting atop a 1/8-inch thick layer of foam layered on the subfloor, but not directly adhered to it.
This installation method involves gluing your new flooring directly to the subfloor using a hardwood flooring adhesive.
Staple-down installation is utilized for prefinished, engineered hardwood flooring using a narrow-crown stapler to fasten your flooring to wood subfloors.
Nail-down installation is a method commonly used for solid hardwood floors and follows the same method as staple-down installation, but you use a nail rather than a staple.
T–Molding is used as a transition between two hard surface floors of equal height. A t-mold may be used to bridge wood floor and ceramic tile.
Threshold molding is used at raised hearths and exterior doors. A threshold is also used as a transition from wood to carpet.
A reducer strip is used as a transition from one flooring to another of a different height.
Stair nose molding is used as a transition on stair steps and sunken dens.
Quarter round molding is used to cover the expansion space near a wall. Quarter round may also be used with a new or existing base molding.
For pristine floors, vacuum regularly, wipe up spills immediately with a soft cloth, and periodically clean with a hardwood cleaner.

The 31-year-old actor said in a statement released Friday that he's exiting the ABC political thriller after three seasons.
"At this time, I must confirm my exit from a show I've called home for three years, with what is the most talented ensemble on television today," Short said. "I would like to first thank Shonda Rhimes for the opportunity to work with such an amazing cast."
The announcement of Short's exit from the series created by Rhimes comes amid two pending criminal cases, one accusing him of misdemeanor spousal battery and another accusing him of felony battery that seriously injured a man during an altercation at a West Hollywood restaurant in March.
If convicted, Short faces up to four years in state prison.
Short was charged Feb. 14 with misdemeanor spousal battery and has pleaded not guilty in that case. A judge ordered him to stay away from his wife, Tuere Short, at a March 5 court hearing. The case is due back in court on May 13.
In that instance, Short's wife reported that the actor began choking her while she was sleeping, chased her around their home, dragged her from a room and threw her on the ground, according to an application for a temporary restraining order that she filed.
Short's wife filed for divorce April 15 after nearly nine years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. She is seeking legal and physical custody of the couple's 2-year-old daughter.
With her filing, Tuere Short obtained another temporary restraining order accusing her husband of choking her and threatening to kill her and himself during a fight on April 7. A hearing on extending the order is scheduled for May 6. She wrote in a court declaration that her husband was wielding a knife while threatening her, and that while fleeing from the home with her daughter, she believes the actor slashed her tires.
Short played attorney Harrison Wright on the hit series starring Kerry Washington. His character was last seen in grave jeopardy in the explosive season finale.
"Everything must come to an end, and unfortunately the time has come for Harrison Wright to exit the canvas," Short said. "I wish nothing but the best for Shonda, Kerry and the rest of the cast, who have become like a second family to me in such a short amount of time. For this, I will forever be grateful."

A Feasibility Analysis helps you determine if CHP is a viable option not only technically (i.e. will it work) but also financially (i.e. is it worth the investment). It uses a detailed engineering and financial model or spreadsheet that preferably employs hourly load profiles (or at a minimum monthly load profiles and load duration curves).
The first step in a Feasibility Analysis is collecting data on your facility and its energy use. A walkthrough checklist can assist you. If all of the data requested in the walkthrough checklist is not readily available, a minimum of 12 months of electric and fuel bills as well as 12 months of steam use (where applicable) should be collected. (Note that bills for both delivery service for gas and electric and the commodity should be obtained - two sets of bills for each utility service.) The U.S. DOE CHP Technical Assistance Partnership can help you (at no charge) to analyze the results of your data collection.
A Feasibility Analysis typically involves:
All of these facets can be combined to create an hour-by-hour model of the output of a potential CHP system. The hourly fuel consumption, electrical output, useful thermal output, and the value of that output can then be calculated. This resulting cost/savings information can then compared to what your facility would pay if the CHP system were not installed.
This analysis can be used to determine if investing in CHP will meet your facility's long-term goals. Various financing options can be explored at this point to tailor the project to meet your goals.
The output of the Feasibility Analysis normally includes a detailed report on savings, installation costs, simple paybacks, cash flow, rates of return, and a conceptual one-line design including equipment sizing. Accuracy should generally be within 10-30%.
The U.S. DOE CHP Technical Assistance Partnership can provide this level of feasibility study, typically requiring a 25% cost share. Alternately, you can do an analysis yourself (for instance, using the free downloadable RETScreen software) or engage an engineering company with a CHP/energy efficiency specialty.
If the results of the Feasibility Analysis look promising, you would next continue to an Investment-Grade Analysis.
Next - Investment-Grade Analysis >
DOE is offering technical assistance to the more than 650 facilities affected by Boiler MACT, to ensure that major sources burning coal or oil have information on cost-effective clean energy strategies for compliance, including CHP. Get in touch for assistance including site visits to discuss and assess strategies, as well as info on funding and financing opportunities for CHP, boiler tune-ups, and/or energy assessments.
We want to help CHP projects succeed. We offer unbiased site qualifications and feasibility analyses to help determine if CHP, waste heat to power, or district energy is a good fit for your site, financially and technically. We also provide other technical and regulatory assistance and advice.
Are you considering Waste Heat to Power for an industrial site or pipeline compressor station?
Are you considering District Energy for a municipal area, university, office park, medical campus, downtown, or other network of buildings?

THE ROMANS didn't bother with Oxford – they lived on the hills, Oxford was and is a flood plain. But they didn't half like Bath (Aquae Svlis) when they trudged down west.
First Western Direct, or whatever they're called now, is a pretty crap railway but by dint of perseverence we had a train sandwich between two buses to get down to Bath. The tourists shunted from Oxford train station onto a bus looked suitably bemused, but we knuckled down to the journey, no problem!
Here, first of all, is The Huntsman, where we duly gave the talk we gave – a nice pub with a beautiful front and an upstairs room where the carpet was just that bit tacky. Are you wondering what we talked about? Go no further than Shiva Shakti Mandalam – the audience was wonderful, the occasion was sundar and we were so welcomed into Aquae Sulis it lifted our soul. If I have one, that is.
Just round the corner was the Roman baths – the Centurions loved this stuff. Can't think why.
Bath is in a bowl, innit?
The compulsory bit of video is required, naturally. See if you can spot Alex Bennett asking a local copper for directions.

INDIANAPOLIS — Marco Andretti knows how much heartache his family has suffered at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He needs no reminders that IndyCar could use an American superstar, and with his famous last name, he is quite aware of the hope that maybe he can be the one to elevate this attention-starved series.
None of that matters to Andretti as he heads into the Indianapolis 500.
He believes he can win today's race — "it's going to be our race to lose," he said — and he wants it, badly. But Andretti wants it for himself, for his own career, and not because of what it would mean to his family or for IndyCar. Mario Andretti won in 1969, and no Andretti has done it again in 65 starts and many of those races were devastating near-misses.
"That's not my approach to the event. My approach is I want to win our Super Bowl," Andretti said. "I put that pressure on myself. I don't want to do it because he did it and my dad didn't, that's all bonus. Do I think we can? You're darn right."
The 96th running of the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing" is the most wide-open race in a very long time. Engine competition for the first time in six years and the introduction of a new car has widened the pool of potential winners, and there's no clear favorite.
"I think we're going to see the best race we've had in at least a decade," said Roger Penske, winner of 15 Indy 500s and the team owner of pole-sitter Ryan Briscoe.
Penske is undefeated this season, as Helio Castroneves and points leader Will Power have combined to win the first four races. And with Chevrolet power, Penske drivers have swept all five poles so far this season.
So it seemed to be business as usual on pole day, when Chevrolet clearly had the edge. The team put nine drivers inside the top 10, and all six of the full-time entries were from Penske and Andretti Autosport.
Then came Carb Day, and the Hondas came to life.
Chip Ganassi teammates Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon led the leaderboard, with Andretti landing third on the final speed chart as the fastest Chevy driver.
"Maybe some sandbagging?" Franchitti wondered as Andretti slid into the seat next to him following their final on-track session before the race. "Do you really think we're all going to show what we can do?"
The return of Chevrolet and addition to Lotus has renewed rivalries this season in IndyCar, and the fight between Chevy and Honda has been on display since the track opened May 9. Chevy lost two appeals in its fight to prevent Honda from getting a new compressor cover for its turbocharger, and the final decision came the day before practice officially opened.
Honda then dominated on the track, particularly Josef Newgarden and Bryan Clauson, the two young American drivers for Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing. But there was skepticism that the Chevy teams were simply holding back, and that sure seemed to be the case after qualifying.
There's been no speculation whatsoever about the two Lotus entries, which have been so far off the pace there have been calls for IndyCar to park Simona de Silvestro and Jean Alesi after the start. The engine is a tremendous handicap to Alesi, the 47-year-old former Formula One driver who has never before raced an IndyCar, never raced on an oval and has been only sporadically racing in anything at all the last several years.
On Friday, his last day in the car before the race, Alesi was clocked at 204.452 mph — almost 10 miles slower than the last non-Lotus car, and a long way off Franchitti's 222.360.
"The engine is a disaster," he was picked up saying during the television broadcast of practice. "The engine is really bad."
Nothing has been bad for Andretti, who has been one of the few constants this month at Indy. He's been consistently fast, and was thought to be a threat for the pole. He wound up fourth, right behind teammates James Hinchcliffe and Ryan Hunter-Reay.
IndyCar is seeking a new star now that Danica Patrick has fled to NASCAR, and will miss her first Indy 500 since 2005. She was the de facto face of the series, and IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard knows he needs somebody else to step up and fill her void.
He knows that an Andretti win would be a very good thing for the series.
"Wherever you go in the world, Andretti is known in racing," he said. "This is Marco's stance. I've never seen him so confident. It's like a new Marco to me."
But Bernard doesn't care who wins today so long as it is a great race with tremendous story lines. He watched on television as Bubba Watson won the Master's in April, and the golf had him longing for an emotional victory celebration in his series.
The promoter in him craves that spontaneous moment that captures the audience.
"When you're sitting at home on the couch, or you're sitting here, you just watched an exhausting 500 miles of a great race, and the drivers get absorbed in it and show their passion," Bernard said. "These 33 drivers, they have no guarantee they're going to be in the race next year. This could be their last opportunity to win. That's the drama. I think that is important to the sport."
Indy got that emotion last year when JR Hildebrand crashed coming out of the final turn while leading. It opened the door for Dan Wheldon to sail by for his second Indy 500 win, and made for a fascinating display of raw emotion. There was the rookie Hildebrand, devastated but showing how to lose with dignity, and there was Wheldon, ecstatic to have won with a tiny team in a year he did not have a full-time job.
Wheldon was killed five months later in a 15-car accident in the IndyCar season finale, and his presence has been felt at the speedway all month. He's featured on the race day ticket, his car has been on display and owner Bryan Herta will drive it in a lap of honor before the race.
Fans have been asked to wear white sunglasses during tributes on the parade lap, lap 26 and lap 98, which recognize the numbers of his winning cars, and Wheldon's wife, Susie, is here.
"He lived for that race, if that was the only race that he could do in the year, then he would do it," she said. "His family is the most important part of his legacy, so we want to be there to honor him in that way as far as him being last year's winner and everything about that race that he loved so much. I feel like it's important for me to be there."
'Our race to lose'
Marco Andretti believes he will win Indianapolis 500

This I get :)
Single origin chocolate and vanilla ice cream from CHOCTAL.
Like all the single origin chocolate bars around,
From Ghana, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic etc.
Very Yummy even if my taste buds can't remember what those different chocolates taste like.
This blurry picture gives you an idea what the show looks like...
HUGE and this is just the downstairs!
I haven't made it to the upstairs yet.
Do you want more? Let me know :)
I've always heard about New Zealand's/Australia's national dessert,

Sara Turnbull, makes it for her French relatives and knocks their socks off.
Delicious but sweeeeeeeeet!
New Zealand saved the day with their fresh Kiwis.
You long for some real food at these tasting extravaganzas.
The spare carrot or a Kiwi cleanses and refreshes your palate
so you can keep going and forge onward tasting, tasting, tasting.
Very selectively of course!

According to the Helena rumor mill, Attorney General Steve Bullock has also hired a prominent Montana journalist in his communications office. Stay tuned for that announcement in the coming days or week.
It's not uncommon for journalists to go to work for politicians, political parties, or government agencies. For instance, longtime Associated Press statehouse reporter Bob Anez left the AP in 2005 to take a job as communications director for the Department of Corrections. Terri Knapp, Secretary of State Linda McCulloch's spokeswoman, quit her job at Montana's News Station in 2008 to go to work for then-Superintended of Public Instruction Linda McCulloch. She now heads McCulloch's press office in the Secretary of State's office.
Newspapers across the state continue to struggle financially and journalists are constantly faced with uncertain futures. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see more reporters leave the newsroom for communications jobs in the public and private sector.
UPDATE: Here's the full press release from the Montana Democratic Party:
HELENA--Gearing up for the November elections and setting its sights on 2012, the Montana Democratic Party has hired reporter and Marine Corps veteran Martin Kidston to lead its communications team. Kidston will work from Helena and begins next week.
A graduate of the University of Montana in Missoula, Kidston has spent the last 11 years at the Helena Independent Record. His most recent beats included the Montana military and the northern U.S. border.
"I'm excited to be a part of the Democratic Party," Kidston said Tuesday. "I look forward to sharing the Party's message and working hard to improve the lives of everyday Montanans. I've seen the Party's accomplishments first-hand and I'm eager to help build on its successes across the state."
Born in Colorado, Kidston served six years in the Marine Corps, including a tour in Desert Shield and Desert Storm. He moved to Missoula in 1994 to attend college and graduated in 1997 with a degree in English and a minor in philosophy.
During his tenure as a reporter, Kidston traveled widely covering Montana's military training and the state's role in Iraq and Afghanistan. He toured both the northern and southern U.S. borders, and he recently travelled to Guatemala with the Helena Diocese to report on the Catholic mission in Santo Tomas.
Kidston is also the author of three books, including "Cromwell Dixon: A Boy and His Plane," and "From Poplar to Papua: Montana's 163rd Infantry Regiment in World War II."

I decided to dabble in the savoury side for once. In fact I was getting a bit bored of smoothies for breakfast and thought muffins would make good breakfast food. I went to my trusted hummingbird bakery cookbook for a recipe and it turned out great. They're really simple to make and freeze well too! I tired the ham and cheese version which was even better in my book.
30g butter
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
360g plain flour
2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cayenne powder
250g cheddar cheese, grated
220ml whole milk
1 egg
130g baby spinach leaves
- Preheat oven to 170C.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then fry the onion until cooked.
- Set aside.
- Put the flour, baking powder, cayenne and cheese in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk and egg together, then slowly pour into the flour mixture and beat with a handheld whisk until all the ingredients are well mixed. (I used a spatula)
- Stir in the onion and spinach with a wooden spoon until evenly dispersed.
- Spoon the mixture into muffin cases until 2/3 full and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until deep golden and the sponge bounces back when touched.
- Leave to cool slightly in the tray before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Trondheimfjord, Norway
Using the JAGO submersible onboard the FS POSEIDON
Norway is home to more Lophelia pertusa reefs than anywhere else. These reefs are found between 40 and 400 m and cover around 2,000 km² - more than some countries with well known tropical reefs including Belize, Mozambique or the Seychelles. Some of these reefs have been dated at over 8,000 years old.
The reefs in Trondheimsfjord are relatively sheltered compared to those found outside the fjords so they often provide ideal conditions for submersible or ROV dives. These reefs can exist within the fjords, as incoming seawater from the Norwegian Sea is denser than freshwater runoff from the land so conditions are suitable for corals to grow even far from the open sea. In September 2011, a research expedition onboard the FS POSEIDON sailed from Kiel, Germany, to the Trondheimsfjord Reefs in Norway. This expedition was a collaboration between researchers from Germany, the UK and the Netherlands working together to study the impacts of ocean acidification on cold-water coral ecosystems and to assess the biodiversity of life on Trondheimsfjord reefs. The JAGO two-man submersible was used to record and photograph areas on the reef and to collect samples to return them to holding tanks onboard the POSEIDON. Following a dive, biodiversity samples are sorted out on deck before being moved to suitable holding facilities for further identification.
You can see examples of the different environments and organisms on our image page.

the religious congregation or ecclesiastical body holding the property is but a subordinate member of some general church organization in which there are superior ecclesiastical tribunals with a general and ultimate power of control more or less complete, in some supreme judicatory over the whole membership of that general organization.
TEC and TEC Diocese argue that as a matter of law the court must find that TEC is conclusively a hierarchical institution and that Diocese of Quincy is subordinate and submits to its highest ecclesiastical authority. It further argues that the issues presented in this lawsuit are solely related to the polity and governance of the subordinate institutions, namely the Diocese of Quincy, which under the authorities and cases relied upon prohibit this court from considering.
Plaintiffs/Counterdefendants [the realigning parties] respond that there are disputed issues of fact regarding the hierarchical structure of TEC and in particular the relationship between the national church and the dioceses. They further contend that the real dispute does not involve ecclesiastical questions of doctrine or polity, but rather control of the property of the not-for-profit corporate entities (the Plaintiffs).
The documentary evidence relied upon by TEC and TEC Diocese is certainly supportive of their position. However, confirmation and proof of their construction and interpretation of the church Constitution and canons and its supremacy necessarily involves inferences to be drawn from the evidence. The inferences they ask the court to draw are reasonable.
Nevertheless, Plaintiffs/counterdefendants [ACNA parties], contend that contrary inferences can reasonably be drawn from the same undisputed documents and facts, as detailed in their briefs and oral argument. Viewing the evidence as it must, in the light most favorable to the [ACNA parties], the court finds that reasonable persons could draw different inferences from the undisputed facts. This is further the case considering, that to varying degrees, all of the parties have introduced and rely on historical documents and conduct between the national or general church and the diocese.
[ACNA parties] further argue that the affidavits submitted in their response raise issues of fact on this record. TEC and TEC Diocese dismissively counter that their affidavits represent merely the opinion of one man or the opinions of a minority, dissenting faction of church Bishops. No motions were filed directed to the admission of the affidavits. Essentially TEC and TEC Diocese ask the court to discount or give this evidence no weight in ruling on their motion. Weighing of evidence is generally improper in a summary judgment proceeding. (See, In re Estate of Alfaro (1998), 301 Ill.App.3d 500; Schulenburg v. Rexnord Inc. (1993), 254 Ill.App.3d 445). Without weighing this evidence, they do raise genuine issues of material fact as to the precise nature of the relationship between the diocese and the general or national church and hence the validity of the actions which are at the heart of this dispute.
TEC and TEC's Diocese cite numerous cases, involving similar church, property disputes, which they assert mandate acceptance of their position in this case and granting of their motion for summary judgment. The court has reviewed the cases, but does not find it is bound by them. Further it finds the cases distinguishable on different levels and does not find them conclusively persuasive as to the record before it. For example, the vast majority of the cases involve disputes between local parishes and dioceses and/or the national church. These cases appear very fact driven and many involved concessions or stipulations as to matters which are disputed on this record. Many involve specific religious corporation and/or other state statutes not applicable in the present case.
Finally, even if ultimately it is determined that TEC is hierarchical and the Diocese of Quincy a subordinate, dependent constituency and whose leadership is an ecclesiastical issue to which this court must defer, that would not entirely resolve the dispute. The circumstance of the hierarchical structure of government of a church does not preclude a civil court decision respecting a property dispute even under Watson v. Jones (1872), 80 U.S.679, 20 L.Ed. 666, provided the decision can be made without intrusion into the ecclesiastical domain. (York v. First Presbyterian Church of Anna (1984), 130 Ill.App.3d 611).
The court finds that the "neutral principles of law" standard sanctioned by Jones v. Wolf (1979), 443 U.S. 595, 99 S.Ct. 3020, 61 L.Ed.2d 775, has been adopted in Illinois and is applicable to the present case. (York v. First Presbyterian Church of Anna (1984), 130 Ill.App.3d 611; Aglikin v. Kovacheff (1987), 163 Ill.App.3d 426). TEC and TEC Diocese would have the court end the inquiry regarding this dispute by deferring to the ecclesiastical issue of the determination of the leadership of the diocese (assuming its subordinate status to the hierarchical General Convention). However, as in York, that would not necessarily resolve the question of whether the property, held by the Diocese and the Trustees in this case, was subject to a clear right to denominational appropriation by the national church. That appears to the court to be the very heart of the disputed factual issues presented by this record as described above, namely, who as between the competing parties is entitled to control and possession of the assets.
For the foregoing reasons summary judgment is inappropriate at this stage and on this record and is, therefore, denied.

Maureen Smith is the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Manufacturing and Services in the Manufacturing and Services Division of the International Trade Administration
Last week I was in Buffalo, New York, along with Congresswoman Kathy Hochul (NY-26), to present the World Trade Center Buffalo Niagara (WTCBN) with an award of nearly $220,000 to increase exports by the U.S. medical devices industry. We expect that these funds will generate about $25.5 million in New York exports over the next three years.
The award will fund a program that will be administered over three years by WTCBN with the support of partners who work closely with local medical-device companies, among them University at Buffalo's New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences, the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, MedTech, the Jacobs Institute and the Department of Commerce.
It was especially gratifying to me to see the wide-ranging community effort behind this award. Chris Johnston, president of the WTCBN is an ITA alum and he has made this export effort an integral part of Buffalo's push to reinvent itself as a center of excellence in the medical device industry. The astonishing new incubation center at the Jacobs Institute will have facilities for computer simulated surgery and prototype production right in the hospital. While I was there, we witnessed a stroke victim brought into the hospital and the obstruction in his artery removed—in 13 minutes.
WTCBN will help the local firms that are part of this exciting revitalization to capitalize on their competitive advantage by educating them on the regulatory environment, providing marketing advice, helping to arrange export financing, and addressing supply chain challenges, with a special focus on China. On the ground support is ably provided by Rosanna Masucci of the Buffalo U. S. Export Assistance Center. Congresswoman Hochul said the program is "a critical step toward opening new markets, fostering innovation, and expanding manufacturing right here at home. Meaningful investment in Western New York's medical device industry and work force will help add good-paying, sustainable jobs to our local economy," she added. "It is vital that we continue to work to ensure our local businesses have the resources necessary to expand and reach new global markets."
The award is part of a larger, $2.4 million fund. Eight other non-profit industry groups around the country are also receiving awards from this fund. In total, the awardees have estimated that the funds will generate about $971 million in U.S. exports in the next three years.
The Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP) awards include financial and technical assistance from the U.S. Commerce Department's International Trade Administration (ITA) to support well-defined business plans aimed at increasing exports and U.S. competitiveness within certain industries. An MDCP award establishes a partnership between ITA and nonprofit industry groups to help strengthen global competitiveness and create jobs through exports. Since MDCP's inception in 1993, the program has issued 121 awards. In an average year, MDCP projects generate $372 million in U.S. exports.

Viktor Emil Frankl (26 March 1905 – 2 September 1997)[1][2] was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor. Frankl was the founder of logotherapy, which is a form of existential analysis, the "Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy". His best-selling book Man's Search for Meaning (published under a different title in 1959: From Death-Camp to Existentialism, and originally published in 1946 as Trotzdem Ja Zum Leben Sagen: Ein Psychologe erlebt das Konzentrationslager, meaning Nevertheless, Say "Yes" to Life: A Psychologist Experiences the Concentration Camp) chronicles his experiences as a concentration camp inmate, which led him to discover the importance of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most brutal ones, and thus, a reason to continue living. Frankl became one of the key figures in existential therapy and a prominent source of inspiration for humanistic psychologists.[3]
Life before 1945
Frankl was born in Vienna into a Jewish family of civil servants (Beamtenfamilie). His interest in psychology surfaced early. For the final exam (Matura) in Gymnasium, he wrote a paper on the psychology of philosophical thinking. After graduation from Gymnasium in 1923, he studied medicine at the University of Vienna and later specialized in neurology and psychiatry, concentrating on the topics of depression and suicide. His early development was influenced by his contacts with Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler, although he would later diverge from their teachings.[3][4]
Physician, therapist
During part of 1924 he became the president of the Sozialistische Mittelschüler Österreich, a Social Democratic youth movement for high school students throughout Austria.[1]:59
Between 1928 and 1930, while still a medical student, he organized and offered a special program to counsel high school students free of charge. The program involved the participation of psychologists such as Charlotte Bühler, and it paid special attention to students at the time when they received their report cards. In 1931, not a single Viennese student committed suicide. The success of this program grabbed the attention of the likes of Wilhelm Reich who invited him to Berlin.[2][4][5]
From 1933 to 1937, Viktor Frankl completed his residency in neurology and psychiatry at the Steinhof Psychiatric Hospital in Vienna. He was responsible for the so-called Selbstmörderpavillon, or "suicide pavilion". Here, he treated more than 30,000 women who had suicidal tendencies.[2] In 1937, he established an independent private practice in neurology and psychiatry at Alser Strasse 32/12 in Vienna.[2]
Beginning with the Nazi takeover of Austria in 1938, he was prohibited from treating "Aryan" patients due to his Jewish identity. In 1940 he started working at the Rothschild Hospital, where he headed its neurological department. This hospital was the only one in Vienna to which Jews were still admitted. His medical opinions saved several patients from being euthanised via the Nazi euthanasia program. In December 1941 he married Tilly Grosser.[2][3]
Prisoner, therapist
On 25 September 1942, Frankl, his wife, and his parents were deported to the Nazi Theresienstadt Ghetto. There Frankl worked as a general practitioner in a clinic. When his skills in psychiatry were noticed, he was assigned to the psychiatric care ward in block B IV, establishing a camp service of "psychohygiene" or mental health care. He organized a unit to help camp newcomers to overcome shock and grief. Later he set up a suicide watch, assisted by Regina Jonas.[2][6]
On 29 July 1943, Frankl organized a closed event for the Scientific Society at Theresienstadt, and with the help of Leo Baeck, offered a series of open lectures, including "Sleep and Sleep Disturbances", "Body and Soul", "Medical Care of the Soul", "Psychology of Mountaineering", "How to keep my nerves healthy?", "Medical ministry", "Existential Problems in Psychotherapy", and "Social Psychotherapy".[6] His father Gabriel died of pulmonary edema and pneumonia at Theresienstadt.[2][3][6]
On 19 October 1944, Frankl and his wife Tilly were transported to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where he was processed. He was moved to Kaufering, a camp affiliated with Dachau, on 25 October, where he spent five months working as a slave laborer. In March 1945, he was offered a move to the so-called rest camp, Türkheim, also affiliated with Dachau, where he worked as a physician until 27 April 1945, when the camp was liberated by American soldiers.[2][3]
Frankl's mother Elsa and brother Walter died at Auschwitz. His wife was moved to Bergen-Belsen, where she died. The only other survivor of the Holocaust among Frankl's immediate family was his sister, Stella, who had emigrated from Austria to Australia.[2][3]
Life after 1945
Liberated after three years in concentration camps, Frankl returned to Vienna, where he developed and lectured about his own approach to psychological healing. Frankl believed that people are primarily driven by a "striving to find meaning in one's life," and that it is this sense of meaning that enables people to overcome painful experiences. With encouragement from Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, Frankl wrote his world-famous book entitled, Trotzdem Ja Zum Leben Sagen: Ein Psychologe Erlebt das Konzentrationslager (translated as "Saying Yes to Life in Spite of Everything: A Psychologist Experiences the Concentration Camp"), known in English by the title Man's Search for Meaning (1959).[7] In this book, he described the life of an ordinary concentration camp inmate from the objective perspective of a psychiatrist.[3][8]
After enduring the suffering in these camps, Frankl validated his hallmark conclusion that even in the most absurd, painful, and dehumanized situation, life has potential meaning and that, therefore, even suffering is meaningful. This conclusion served as a strong basis for his logotherapy and existential analysis, which Frankl had described before World War II. He is quoted as saying, "What is to give light must endure burning."
An example of Frankl's idea of finding meaning in the midst of extreme suffering is found in his account of an experience he had while working in the harsh conditions of the Nazi concentration camps: <templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
We stumbled on in the darkness, over big stones and through large puddles, along the one road leading from the camp. The accompanying guards kept shouting at us and driving us with the butts of their rifles. Anyone with very sore feet supported himself on his neighbor's arm. Hardly a word was spoken; the icy wind did not encourage talk. Hiding his mouth behind his upturned collar, the man marching next to me whispered suddenly: "If our wives could see us now! I do hope they are better off in their camps and don't know what is happening to us."
That brought thoughts of my own wife to mind. And as we stumbled on for miles, slipping on icy spots, supporting each other time and again, dragging one another up and onward, nothing was said, but we both knew: each of us was thinking of his wife. Occasionally I looked at the sky, where the stars were fading and the pink light of the morning was beginning to spread behind a dark bank of clouds. But my mind clung to my wife's image, imagining it with an uncanny acuteness. I heard her answering me, saw her smile, her frank and encouraging look. Real or not, her look was then more luminous than the sun which was beginning to rise.A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth – that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which Man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of Man is through love and in love. I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved. In a position of utter desolation, when Man cannot express himself in positive action, when his only achievement may consist in enduring his sufferings in the right way – an honorable way – in such a position Man can, through loving contemplation of the image he carries of his beloved, achieve fulfillment. For the first time in my life I was able to understand the meaning of the words, "The angels are lost in perpetual contemplation of an infinite glory."[9]
Frankl's concentration camp experiences thus shaped both his therapeutic approach and philosophical outlook, as reflected in his seminal publications.
He often said that even within the narrow boundaries of the concentration camps he found only two races of Men to exist: decent and unprincipled ones. These were to be found in all classes, ethnicities, and groups. "Under such conditions, who could blame them for trying to dope themselves?" "These were the men who were employed in the gas chambers and crematoriums, and who knew very well that one day they would have to leave their enforced role of executioner and become victims themselves."[8]
In 1946, he was appointed to run the Vienna Polyclinic of Neurology. He remained there until 1971. In 1947 he married his second wife Eleonore Katharina Schwindt. She was a practicing Catholic and the couple respected each other's religious backgrounds, going to both church and synagogue, and celebrating Christmas and Hanukah. They had one daughter, Gabriele, who went on to become a child psychologist.[2][3][10]
In 1948, Frankl earned a Ph.D. in philosophy. His dissertation – The Unconscious God is an examination of the relation of psychology and religion.[11]
In 1955, he was awarded a professorship of neurology and psychiatry at the University of Vienna, and as visiting professor, he resided at Harvard University (1961), at Southern Methodist University, Dallas (1966), and at Duquesne University, Pittsburgh (1972).[4] He lectured and taught seminars all over the world and received 29 honorary doctoral degrees.[4][10] Frankl published 39 books, which were translated into as many as 40 languages.[4]
The American Psychiatric Association awarded Frankl the 1985 Oskar Pfister Award for important contributions to religion and psychiatry.[1]
Frankl died of heart failure on 2 September 1997. He was survived by his wife Eleonore, his daughter Dr. Gabriele Frankl-Vesely, his grandchildren Katharina and Alexander, and his great-granddaughter Anna Viktoria.[12]
Frankl's logotherapy and existential analysis is considered the third Viennese School of Psychotherapy,[4] among the broad category that comprises existentialists.[13] For Irvin Yalom, Frankl, "who has devoted his career to a study of an existential approach to therapy, has apparently concluded that the lack of meaning is the paramount existential stress. To him, existential neurosis is synonymous with a crisis of meaninglessness".[13]
He is thought to have coined the term, Sunday neurosis. The term refers to a form of anxiety resulting from an awareness in some people of the emptiness of their lives once the working week is over.[14] Some complain of a void and a vague discontent.[13] This arises from an existential vacuum, or feeling of meaninglessness, which is a common phenomenon and is characterised by the subjective state of boredom, apathy, and emptiness. One feels cynical, lacks direction, and questions the point of most of life's activities.[13] (see noogenic neurosis).
Viktor Frankl once recommended that the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast of the United States be complemented by a Statue of Responsibility on the West Coast:
<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
Freedom, however, is not the last word. Freedom is only part of the story and half of the truth. Freedom is but the negative aspect of the whole phenomenon whose positive aspect is responsibleness. In fact, freedom is in danger of degenerating into mere arbitrariness unless it is lived in terms of responsibleness. That is why I recommend that the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast be supplemented by a Statue of Responsibility on the West Coast.[15]
Reportedly, there are plans to construct such a statue.[16]
A number of logotherapy institutes are named after Frankl.

West Valley Wins Region's First-ever Knowledge Bowl State Championship!
The West Valley High School Knowledge Bowl team last weekend accomplished what no other school in south central Washington has ever done before.
The West Valley team won the State 2A Knowledge Bowl title during the 31st annual statewide competitions that were held at Arlington High School on Saturday, March 23.
This is the 10th year that schools in south central Washington have participated in the statewide program. West Valley has qualified for state for each of those 10 years, placing for the first time just last year with the 8th place plaque among 3A schools.
Members of the West Valley state championship team are Joseph Martin, Jessica Rhodes, Ryan Shean, Graham Stoddard, and Julia Villasenor. The team's faculty co-advisors are Elizabeth Chicken and Ron Bergevin.
Knowledge Bowl involves high school teams of up to six members in a contest of the students' knowledge in a broad range of academic areas. Each tournament begins with a written round during which team members work together to solve a list of multiple-choice problems. Teams then engage in a series of oral rounds against two other schools in answering a series of questions ranging from math and science to history and language arts.
Last weekend's state event involved students from dozens of Washington's schools, with each size division involving a tournament of 18 similarly-sized schools. In the initial morning round at state, West Valley correctly answered 47 of the 50 questions during the opening written portion. The team then emerged with the highest total points among all the 2A schools in the initial oral rounds.
When play resumed for the trophy-level rounds among the nine top-finishing 2A schools from the morning session, West Valley continued to win each of its three afternoon oral rounds. In the final oral round, West Valley of Yakima finished a handful of points ahead of second place Prosser and third place West Valley of Spokane.
