text: Syngenta CEO Pins Hopes on Latin America October 17, 2013 05:30 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Syngenta AG Chief Executive Officer Michael Mack said Latin American demand for the Swiss company's agrochemicals is key to offsetting the seed-inventory writedown and currency costs that threaten this year's profit goal. Adjusted earnings per share may be "close to last year's underlying level," depending on markets like Brazil, the Basel- based company said today. It predicted earlier that earnings would "substantially improve." Syngenta, the world's largest maker of crop chemicals, is pinning its hopes on Brazilian farmers buying more pesticides and fungicides for soybeans and other crops to take advantage of the real's depreciation that's driving exports. Third-quarter revenue met estimates, with Latin America sales growing 17 percent at constant exchange rates. "It's all going to come down to Latin America," Mack said in a phone interview. "There was a question about whether or not we would be able to get a full 8 percent sales growth in 2013: It looks like we are set to do that. We feel good coming in to the fourth quarter." Syngenta rose 0.7 percent to 356.8 francs as of 9:37 a.m., shrugging off a decline at the open of trading in Zurich. Unsold Seeds While sales earlier in the year were affected by cold weather in Germany and the U.S., quarterly revenue matched analysts' estimates, rising 8 percent to $2.9 billion. The writedown on unsold corn seeds may be about 1 percent of full-year sales, Chief Financial Officer John Ramsay said in an interview. Depreciating emerging-market currencies will also halve a projected foreign-exchange gain to $50 million from $100 million, he said. Mack, who became chief in 2008, wants to almost double sales to $25 billion by 2020, buoyed by a companywide reorganization along crop lines and purchases of new technologies. During his tenure, Mack has stepped up the pace of acquisitions and branched out into new business areas beyond seeds and crop chemicals such as automated rice planting. The company is waiting for Brazilian approval of soy fungicide Solatenol, which could eventually bring annual sales of more than $850 million, he said. "We are literally waiting on it each and every morning. It's in cardboard boxes," Mack said. Syngenta will lose $100 million in sales if it's not approved this year, he said. Solatenol has been fast-tracked and approval was expected by Oct. 15, Brazil's Agriculture Policy Secretary Neri Geller said in an interview published Sept. 27. The company reiterated a forecast of $25 billion in sales by 2020 and an earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin in the range of 22 to 24 percent by 2015. --Editors: Andrew Noel, Tom Lavell To contact the reporter on this story: Patrick Winters in Zurich at email@example.com To contact the editor responsible for this story: Simon Thiel at firstname.lastname@example.com Back to news

Senator Wicker Introduces Bill to Narrow Definition of "Municipal Advisor"
October 18, 2012
In the September 2012 issue of The CPA Advocate, we reported to you that a bill strongly supported by the American Institute of CPAs, which would prevent CPAs who perform "customary and usual" accounting services from being defined as "municipal advisors," was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on Sept. 19, 2012. Two days later, on Sept. 21, 2012, Senator Roger Wicker, a Republican from Mississippi, introduced S. 3620, an identical bill, in the Senate.
The AICPA supports S. 3620 and is working closely with Senator Wicker and his staff to encourage other senators to support the bill and pass it during the lame duck session.
Both bills would clarify Congress' intent about the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act that relate to regulation of municipal advisors. The legislation would result in a narrower definition of municipal advisors, while leaving the Act's investor protections in place. A narrower definition of municipal advisor is important to CPAs because it means they would have to register only when giving advice about the structure, timing, terms and other similar matters concerning the issuance of municipal securities.
The clarification is necessary because of the broad rules proposed in December 2010 by the Securities and Exchange Commission to implement Section 975 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Section 975 amended Section 15B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to, among other things, make it unlawful for municipal advisors to provide certain advice to, or solicit, municipal entities or certain other persons without registering with the SEC. The Dodd-Frank Act mandates that once advisors are registered with the SEC they are subject to the rules that the SEC issues on municipal advisors and subject to potential enforcement actions by the SEC if the SEC believes the advisor has violated the rules.
The rules proposed by the SEC would cover CPAs who give advice to a municipality on, among other things, the application of GAAP, providing certain needed information to a government or its bond counsel regarding coverage requirements on outstanding bonds, or verifying the calculation of escrow account requirements for advance refunding of bonds, or a compliance audit. If the CPA firm was subject to registration for performing these customary and usual accounting services, it would be subject to the SEC's rules. Many of these firms are not doing public company work and have never been subject to any SEC regulation or enforcement. All of this would result in cost to the firms, both monetarily and time, to comply with SEC rules. It would also raise the risk of having to defend an enforcement action.
While the SEC has not taken final action on its proposed rule to implement Section 975 and while the AICPA submitted comments to the SEC in 2011 outlining its objections to the broad definition, the AICPA believes it is important for Congress to clarify its intent regarding the definition of a municipal advisor.
AICPA President and CEO Barry Melancon, CPA, CGMA said, "Narrowing the definition of a municipal advisor, while leaving investor protections in place, will insure that an unnecessary regulatory burden is not imposed on CPAs who do customary and usual accounting services for municipalities and states. We are urging the Senate to take up this important bipartisan legislation during the lame duck session."

Another Viewpoint is a column The News-Herald makes available so all sides of issues may by aired. Dr. Benito A. Alvarez lives in Chester Township.
Mt. Vernon, N.Y., the summer of 1977 blackout. I was 12 years old in my home holding a .357 magnum with instructions from my father to "shoot if anyone gets by me." He was outside, alone, Coleman lantern ablaze, shotgun in hand, standing firm protecting his mother, wife, daughter and son from the gang of looters who were systematically raiding the neighborhood. I watched as the mob approached; we were petrified.
For a moment they stood hesitating at the sight of the armed guardian, then moved toward him. Raising his gun, they started running, but in the opposite direction. Come morning, our beautiful city looked like a war zone. Every home around us had been invaded, except ours.
My parents were Cuban refugees. Growing up, I learned that Castro had led the charge to depose a dictator with the promise of instituting democracy. Once in power, the police went house to house politely asking citizens to hand over their guns -- "Guns for what?" went the slogan, "The war is over, let there be peace."
My father declined to give up his -- family heirlooms -- but was puzzled that the officer wrote his name in a book. Shortly thereafter, Castro would stun everyone with his declaration, "I have been and always will be a Marxist-Leninist." The populace had been disarmed. Hence began decades of a brutal dictatorship.
One guess as to what happened to my dad's guns.
Now, I myself am a dad and husband. I am also a physician, with an MBA and law degree. I am a devoted student of the American revolution. I joined the Air Force when we were attacked on 9/11. I am a law-abiding citizen who loves and has sacrificed much for his country. And, I'm an NRA member.
It seems to me that there are two separate camps with regard to the gun control issue:
Those who want others to protect them and those who would rely on themselves for protection. Many politicians appeal to the former for votes, just finger-in-the-wind-say-anything-to-keep-my-job tactics to get re-elected. Meanwhile, the latter -- and I'm in there -- is vilified and called crazy, lunatic, blood-stained and even murderer. Really? Seriously?
When exactly did I become the bad guy -- or am I just the easy target for public passion?
The "knavery of human nature" (as Alexander Hamilton would say) has not, and never will, change. I would caution against putting too much trust in government or elected officials with simple answers which leave us weaker and dependent upon them.
As a minority, I often remind my brethren that the first gun control laws were enacted after the Civil War specifically to prevent African Americans from owning guns, thus keeping them subjugated.
I would urge all Americans to reflect rationally upon real solutions for our present reality: there are dangerous people out there that must be deterred from acting or stopped.
It's not the way I want it, but that's the way it is. We need to let those willing to fight do so -- and let the would-be crazies know it.

parents of a newborn receiving intensive care at Brenner Children's Hospital no longer have to be on-site to keep
watch over their baby.
Children's, the pediatric arm of CepEsperu Baptist Medical Center, has
installed a webcam system in its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) through
which family members can use any device with Internet capability to see their
baby on a live video stream. Brenner is the first hospital in the Carolinas to
employ this system, called Nicview, which is password-protected and secured
with encryption.
tiny patients stay in the hospital for several weeks and, in some cases
months," said Cherrie D. Welch, M.D., associate professor of pediatrics at Wake
Forest Baptist and medical director of Brenner's nurseries. "Their families
often live far away and have difficulty with transportation. This gives them a
way to connect and bond with their infant when they can't be here.
other instances, babies are transported to the NICU shortly after birth and
their mothers have to stay behind, having just delivered. It is often several
days before mothers are able to be discharged and join their baby. Fathers are
torn between staying with the mother and going with their baby. This system
allows mothers to stay connected during this heart-wrenching separation and
eases the father's stress a little, too."
webcams, which were installed in late May, are positioned at incubators in the
NICU. The video feed does not have audio and is not recorded. There is no
charge for the service, though a consent form must be signed by parents, who
are then free to share their password with anyone they wish. Passwords are
terminated upon discharge from the unit. Viewing times are at the discretion of
the hospital, and NICU nurses can turn off the camera when giving care or when
the baby is in distress.
Nicview system is produced and managed by Healthcare Observation Systems of
Louisville, Ky., and is in use at approximately 30 other sites across the
system has been a huge hit with our families," Welch said. "Many mothers have
told me that they sleep better at night being able to see their baby before
they drift off to sleep."

Loucheiz Purifoy first saw it in film leading up to Saturday's game.
South Carolina's players — particularly return man Ace Sanders — had a tendency to not properly secure the ball. "Violators" he called them, players who have shown the propensity to fumble.
"They don't hold it high and tight like you're supposed to," Purifoy said. "They don't take pride in holding the ball the right way, so get it out."
In No. 2 Florida's 44-11 win against No. 7 South Carolina, the Gators got the ball out — forcing three first-half fumbles to thoroughly control the game.
Purifoy created the first turnover of the game, not from Sanders but South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw, who was targeted as South Carolina's top violator.
On the Gamecocks' first offensive play of the game, Shaw took a snap from the shotgun and was blindsided by Purifoy, who came from the signal caller's right on a cornerback blitz.
The decision to begin the game with a blitz came from a meeting between UF head coach Will Muschamp and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn in the team hotel prior to the game. Muschamp said he told Quinn to dial up the pressure early and often against the South Carolina offense.
Quinn obliged.
Purifoy heard the blitz call, and his eyes lit up. Florida's most physical cornerback was ready to make a play.
He crept in as the snap drew near. Closer … closer … closer.
Shaw snapped the ball. He looked left. Purifoy came crashing and just before he slammed into Shaw, the quarterback attempted to make a move to get free.
"He took a step in to make me bite," Purifoy said. "He really made me bite.
"But he stuck the ball out, He shouldn't have did that."
Purifoy punched at the ball, sending it rolling. Following a scrum, Lerentee McCray recovered the ball, giving the Florida offense field position deep in South Carolina territory.
Three plays later, Jeff Driskel found Jordan Reed in the end zone for the game's first score.
"That was our momentum," Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd said. "And we refused to give it back."
Not only did the Gators refuse to give it back, they continued fighting for more.
Midway through the second quarter, it was Sanders who became a violator.
Kyle Christy boomed a 51-yard punt. Sanders fielded the ball and began to head up field. Purifoy was there again, this time slowing Sanders.
Seconds later, Trey Burton crashed in, swiping the ball out and eventually recovering it.
"That's a playmaker right there," Purifoy said of Burton. "That's what he does. I stop the runner's feet, and he just goes and makes the play."
Said Burton of the play: "If you hit guys hard enough, they'll let it go."
Sanders did let it go. Six plays later, the Gators were back in the end zone, stretching their lead to 14-3.
"There was a lot of comments made from their players toward being physical, and we just gave them what they wanted," Purifoy said. "They wanted a physical game, and that's what we're going to give them."
On the ensuing kickoff, South Carolina again cost itself. This time, return man Damiere Byrd was stripped by Solomon Patton. Florida's Chris Johnson picked up the ball and returned it to the USC 1-yard line.
Two plays later, Driskel hit Reed for his second touchdown of the game.
In 58 seconds, the Gators put the game away with back-to-back scores on two forced turnovers.
With the three fumble recoveries and a Jabari Gorman interception late in the game, the Gators are now plus-11 in turnover margin this season. Muschamp said that is a necessity for his team to keep winning.
"We need to be good in turnover margin," he said. "We're not a good enough team to go out and turn the ball over, be careless with the ball and not gain some positive field position."
Despite the win, Muschamp is correct.
The offense is still a work-in-progress. Driskel failed to throw for 100 yards for the third consecutive game and on Saturday, the usually effective running game failed to gain much traction.
However, the team won with a familiar formula: good defense and great special teams.
Now, the Gators are a win away from clinching the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division.

SRI International Researchers Developing Bioadhesive Gel to Protect Women from HIV and HSV Infections
Jul 24, 2012, 12:36 ET
MENLO PARK, Calif., July 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A new grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) will support the development of a topical microbicide gel for drug delivery. The innovative gel formulation will be a combination therapy against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) infections in women.
Every day, more than 3,000 women around the world are newly infected with HIV, and it is the leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa. Of the 33.3 million people living with HIV/AIDS across the world, 22.5 million are in Africa. HSV-2 is a global epidemic and affects up to 80 percent of the female population in Africa.
As part of the grant, SRI International researchers will develop and test a prototype bioadhesive formulation for sustained delivery of the antiviral drugs tenofovir and acyclovir to the vaginal surface. Because chronic HSV-2 infections have been shown to speed the progression of immunodeficiency disease, researchers are focused on developing a microbicide that prevents both HIV and HSV-2 infections.
"The inexpensive and easy-to-use combination therapy in development could help contain the spread of HIV and HSV, and possibly other sexually transmitted diseases," said Gita Shankar, Ph.D., director of Formulations R&D, SRI Biosciences. "One of the strongest benefits of a topical gel formula is that it can offer protection when options such as condoms are unavailable or unacceptable."
The awarded grant is for two years with a possible extension of three additional years. Development work will focus on creating a combination therapy that will limit the risk of drug resistance, while providing women with safe and sustained drug delivery. The novel product will be based on a patented bioadhesive polymeric platform developed at SRI.
This research will be supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health under award number R21AI098658. The content of this press release is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health.

Olympic women's shot put champion Nadezhda Ostapchuk has been stripped of the gold medal she won at the London Games a week ago after testing positive for a banned anabolic steroid. By Clare Fallon.
Two urine samples taken from the Belarussian before and after her win last Monday tested positive for metenolone, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said in a statement on Monday, the day after the Games ended.
"Ostapchuk…is disqualified from the women's shot put event, where she had placed first (and) is excluded from the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London in 2012," the statement said.
Belarus had been ordered to return Ostapchuk's gold medal which would now be awarded to New Zealand's Valerie Adams, who also won in 2008, it added.
Russian Evgeniia Kolodko would move up to silver and China's Gong Lijiao would get bronze.
Ostapchuk, who had won the gold with a throw of 21.36 metres, was world champion in 2005 and European champion two years ago. In July, at a meeting in Minsk, she threw 21.58, the best outdoor distance in the world since 1998.
On Monday, Ostapchuk denied any wrongdoing, saying she would fight to clear her name.
"To be honest I don't know all the details because I just got this information myself from the internet," the 31-year-old told local media in Minsk.
"It's a complete shock to me because I was tested on July 30 (before going to London). It showed I was clean," she said, adding that she would wait for the Belarussian delegation to return from London before deciding what to do next.
"In total, I've been tested 16 times since April. You must be a complete idiot to take doping just before the competition especially such an outdated drug as a steroid, knowing you're going to be tested not once but probably several times."
Ostapchuk also accused Olympic organisers of prejudice against the Belarussian athletes.
"You all know how we had been treated there, just ask Ivan Tsikhan," she said, referring to the Belarussian hammer thrower, who was prevented from competing in London following a request from the sport's world governing body (IAAF).
"We must fight for our rights. If we remain silent and accept the punishment, then they will continue to humiliate us."
Tsikhan won the bronze in Beijing four years ago but was stripped of the medal after tests showed his testosterone levels were above acceptable limits.
Tsikhan and his team mate Vadim Devyatovskiy, who won silver in Beijing and also had his medal taken away, successfully appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in 2010 against their sanctions.
"From the start our athletes had to fight against either judging bias or something else," Ostapchuk said.
"I was closely watched by Olympic drug testers, especially after what had happened to Tsikan. I was tested twice more in London but I don't have any idea how this thing ended up in my body. I'm going to fight this allegation because it can't be possible," she added.
Adams said she was delighted to be promoted to gold.
"I am speechless with this news. It is taking me some time to take this in," she said in a statement.
"It is also encouraging for those athletes like myself, who are proud to compete cleanly, that the system works and doping cheats are caught."
By the start of Sunday's final day of the Games, 11 other athletes had been excluded after testing positive for banned drugs.
They included U.S. judoka Nick Delpopolo, who tested positive for marijuana which he blamed on unwittingly eating a hash brownie, as well as Russian cyclist Victoria Baranova and Colombian runner Diego Palomeque Echevarria, who both tested positive for testosterone.
Officials said urine and blood samples taken from competitors in London would be stored for up to eight years. DM

Miyaura hummed a gentle tune while she walked around. Her eyes widened, when the guy she made eye contact with, approached her while she was turning his way. She smiled brightly to hear about the quest she had posted a time ago. Miyaura held her hands together and noticed the male had a little nervousness, which she understood from their first encounter a few moments ago. When he asked about the quest it took her a second to reply, finding the humor in his averted gazes.
Yes of course! I am Miyaura, it is a pleasure to meet you.
When she introduced herself, she bowed her head a little. The outfit she wore was not one she could curtsey in. His averting eyes and nervousness allowed Miyaura to keep her smile. The situation he saw was her fault anyways, not seeing him there before so she was able to look past it. His reactions towards her was cute. Well enough to make her hold back her giddy nature with cute things. Looking at him it was obvious he was an adventurer. His white hair and fox-like eyes caught her attention. The mask covered half his face but Miyaura Couldn't shake the feeling she had seen his eyes before. Just before she could think anymore on it, the shop entrance opened. With quite the presence stepping through. A heavily armored man drew everyones attention. With a curious look on her face, she watched while he approached and with few words Miyaura understood why he was here.
Two adventurers should be fine. My request deals in locating and retrieveing Rune Stones. They are stones void of magic, but enchantments can be sealed on them. You two will have to pass the migrating field for the Giant Frogs, along the mountains edge should be a vein of rune stone material. If you two could bring me the ore I could take care of the rest!
Her eyes shot over to the white haired and playfully smiled
WE can talk when you return, i'm just curious about a few things hee-hee.
She gave a little wink from her eye before fully turning her attention to both of them again.

British singer Adele is facing a fine after allegedly failing to register her baby's birth with authorities.
The Rolling in the Deep hitmaker gave birth to her first child with her partner Simon Konecki on 19 October (12), but she has yet to speak out about the new arrival or reveal the little boy's name.
It has now emerged that Adele has failed to file the necessary paperwork with registrars within the required 42-day legal deadline and could now be facing a $1,600 fine.
A source tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "Cops are hardly going to be banging on their door tomorrow and it's probably just an oversight on their part. Most parents register their baby within a couple of weeks because it's a nice thing to do - and because there's a maximum fine of £1,000 if they don't. There's loads of reasons why parents are late and millions of couples don't bother for ages."

Madame de Pompadour,Images of a Mistress
5 comments:
- Anonymous6 February 2015 at 23:44
Thank you for bringing all these wonderful pictures together. I must say, however, that "Madame de Pompadour as a Sultana at her tapestry,1752 by Charles Andre van Loo," does not depict her, those are two friends. She was no where near that beautiful. (The coffee server, on the first piece was another person she liked.) The way we know is that both pieces, with this outline, were on opposite ends of a piece of furniture,so they were never intended to depict the same person twice, but to capture her friends,as well.ReplyDelete
Thanks for that info. So she is depicted only in the painting where she is served coffee and the other painting with the tapestry depicts her friends? Do you know who the women in the tapestry paintings are?
- Anonymous22 April 2015 at 18:30
I can't identify them back then, but would guess they are close pre-court friends -- from school or such. But you can see, if you look closely that all three are decidedly different. A painter of such caliber as van Loo would never paint a face ambiguously, or get the details of a face wrong, especially for such a sitter.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous22 April 2015 at 18:40
My best imagining is that this is supposed to represent the same day, in the same "harem."ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for your reply. I hope she did keep up with her friends from pre-court days, she sure could've used some real friends. It's so hard to tell which ones are really her as all her portraits are so different.Delete

Since it's the old one it just depends on if you want to keep the old OS and dualboot or not. The two operating sytems would be completely seperate so the only thing it would effect is how much free space you would have on your harddrive.
Technically no. You used to, back in the good old days, but now your bootloader won't let you boot up without an operating system. Even with Grub you can't do much in its command line except point it to the start of your OS/Set boot parameters.
Oh, since they used to I just assumed you probably still could. So if you wrote some code on another machine you couldnt run it on one with no OS, unless it was an OS you wrote?

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (HockeyStL) -- Almost exactly nine months after sustaining a season-ending injury, Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak is back in St. Louis for training camp. Sunday will be Halak's first formal team practice since April, and he told reporters on Thursday that his ankle is 100 percent healed, and has been since August.
Halak has been forced to wait out the lockout, but he is anxious to play, and to pick up where he left off last season.
Halak, 27, played in only one game for Germany's Lausitzer Foxes during the lockout, but that doesn't mean he wasn't preparing for the season while he waited for an end to the lockout.
"I was getting in my workout every day," said Halak. "I was skating and having goalie practice every day, and I felt good. It's nice to now be back with a full team, and now I want to focus on getting back to where I need to be."
Halak's teammate, Brian Elliott, stole the spotlight last season with his surprising performance. But almost unnoticeably, Halak had arguably the best season of his career. Halak posted a 26-12-7 record, with a 1.97 goals against average (GAA), and a .925 save percentage. Halak and Elliott's remarkable play last season earned them the William M. Jennings Trophy for allowing a league-low 155 goals against.
With a condensed schedule, goalies will be getting far less rest in between games, making it even more logical for head coach Ken Hitchcock to once again alternate goaltenders. Hitchcock has discussed the possibility of periodically using a 'practice goaltender' in order to reduce the strain on Halak and Elliott. As far as who will be the number one goaltender, if anyone, Hitchcock says to "assume nothing."
"Who knows? We could repeat what we did last year, or something could happen to one of us," said Halak. "Hopefully (Elliott and I) can play at the level we did last year; I know it's not going to be easy, but everyone has seen what we can be. We will just have to see what happens."
The Blues went with the 'hot hand' much of last season, a strategy that worked in their favor, and one that carried over into the playoffs. However, they were forced to change their proven strategy when Halak went down with what was declared at the time a "lower-body injury" in game two of the quarterfinals series against the San Jose Sharks. Halak's injury persisted, and kept the goaltender off of the ice for a substantial amount of time, including the remainder of the playoffs. The injury was later declared a high-ankle sprain, and the discomfort continued well into the offseason.
But instead of looking back and wondering what could have been, Halak is looking forward to a new season, and hoping for a healthy campaign.
"It was tough (not being able to play in playoffs)," admitted Halak. "You play the whole season to get to the playoffs, and obviously that is the time you most want to be in and competing, but it happened. Injuries are a part of the game. Unfortunately you can't choose when or what happens to you. Hopefully nothing like that will happen this season."
Halak has two seasons remaining on his four-year, $15 million contract. His next two years will play a huge part in determining how much of a pay raise he gets when his current contract expires. The Bratislava, Slovakia native led the Montreal Canadiens to the Eastern Conference finals in 2010, but he was dealt to the Blues the following offseason.
The Blues are hoping to see some similar magic from Halak this season as they try to reach the playoffs for the second consecutive season for the first time since the 2004. Ken Hitchcock and the coaching staff will use the coming week to determine how they will divide the playing time between their goaltenders.
Halak acknowledged that both he and Elliott will have to play a big role in the team's success, and says their sole focus is stopping the puck from crossing the goal line.
If the Blues' goaltenders can continue to work their magic, the Blues will be in good shape. Hitchcock admitted that having two goaltenders could work in the Blues favor, but he isn't convinced that it will work out quite as well as it did last season. Halak and Elliott are just worried about getting in game shape after the long break, and are ignoring everything else.
"If you look at the schedule, we have 48 games, and it's going to be game after game after game," said Halak. "We both (Halak and Brian Elliott) need to be ready. We don't need to worry about the next game; just stop all the pucks in the game we play and then worry about everything else."
Halak and the Blues will have six days of camp to fine tune their game before kicking off the season against the Detroit Red Wings.
"Everybody is ready to go," said Halak. "But first we have to get back to where we want to be as a team and as individual players."

With seven years' worth of data to assess, this provides an unparalled opportunity to measure the state of the industry and find out how those at the coalface of email marketing are operating. This report looks in detail at the approaches taken and the resources given to email marketing, as well as issues regarding effectiveness, deliverability, technology integration and mobile.
Over 1,300 respondents took part in the 2013 Census, which took the form of an online survey in January and February 2013.

Cleveland- City Information
Cleveland is the most populous county in the state of Ohio and was founded in 1796 near the mouth of the Cuyahoga River. Cleveland became a manufacturing center owing to its location at the head of numerous canals and railroad lines. With the decline of heavy manufacturing, Cleveland's businesses have diversified into the service economy, including the financial services, insurance, legal, and healthcare sectors, though the city's population has continued to decline. Cleveland is also home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As of the 2000 Census, the city proper had a total population of 478,403, and was then the 33rd largest city in the United States, (now estimated as the 43rd largest due to declines in population) and the second largest city in Ohio. It is the center of Greater Cleveland, the largest metropolitan area in Ohio. The Cleveland Elyria Mentor Metropolitan Statistical Area which in 2000 ranked as the 23rd largest in the United States with 2,250,871 people. Cleveland is also part of the larger Cleveland Akron Elyria Combined Statistical Area, which in 2000 had a population of 2,945,831, and ranked as the country's 14th largest. Like many former urban manufacturing centers of the U.S. Rust Belt, Cleveland as a city has declined from a population of 914,000 in 1950 to less than half that today.
Cleveland Economy
Cleveland has sought to diversify its economy to become less dependent on its struggling manufacturing sector. Cleveland is the corporate headquarters of many large companies such as Eaton Corporation, Forest City Enterprises, Sherwin Williams Company and KeyCorp. NASA maintains a facility in Cleveland, the Glenn Research Center. Jones Day, one of the largest law firms in the world, traces its origins to Cleveland, and its Cleveland office remains the firm's largest.[
Cleveland Neighborhoods
Cleveland has a variety of unique and diverse neighborhoods that make up the character of the city. Some unique neighborhoods where you can find apartments to rent in Cleveland and townhomes to rent in Cleveland include: Downtown Cleveland, Financial district, Civic Center, Theatre District, the Flats, the Warehouse District, Buckeye Shaker Square, Central, Collinwood, Corlett, Euclid Green, Fairfax, Forest Hills, Glenville, Payne Goodrich Kirtland Park, Hough, Kinsman, Lee Harvard Seville Miles, Mount Pleasant, Nottingham, St. Clair Superior, Union Miles Park, University Circle, Little Italy, and Woodland Hills. The west side of the city includes the following neighborhoods: Brooklyn Centre, Clark Fulton, Detroit Shoreway, Cudell, Edgewater, Ohio City, Tremont, Old Brooklyn, Stockyards, West Boulevard, and the four neighborhoods colloquially known as West Park: Kamm's Corners, Jefferson, Puritas Longmead, and Riverside. Three neighborhoods in the Cuyahoga Valley are sometimes referred to as the south side Industrial Valley Duck Island, Slavic Village (North and South Broadway), and Tremont. Several inner city neighborhoods have begun to gentrify in recent years. Areas on both the west side (Ohio City, Tremont, Detroit Shoreway, and Edgewater) and the east side (Collinwood, Hough, Fairfax, and Little Italy) have been successful in attracting increasing numbers of creative class members, which in turn is spurring new residential development.

This girl right here:
Today was one of those days. I took a solitary window-watching trip from Texas to Vegas via Albequerque. Sometimes, I look at an airplane full of strangers bursting with their own lives and since there is only me to remember my existence, sometimes, I wonder if I'm in danger of disappearing into their realities. If I don't be careful, I'll melt into the aisle seat's carry-on, becoming a briefcase in a suburban Atlanta woman's real estate business.
It's best to watch this video in low-resolution, full-screen. That way the lone traveler's facial features are blurred at the edges in a way that allows you to imagine yourself residing inside her (or perhaps her luggage, if your sense of self is as fluid as mine). Sometimes, with the full-screen, even the locations are blurred into geographical androgyny. Or does that make the video creator's point too obvious?

Olive Shred - Dark Sparkle
Added Apr 15, 2011
by alexus1325
Timmins, Canada
Just a little elegant, not quite dapper, this olive tee has just enough sparkle to catch the eye. Three vintage buttons draw the eye to a graceful shoulder and tantalize with the glimmer of rhinestones. Turn around; swags and folds accentuate the female form.

Becks Gets a New Haircut
Soccer stud David Beckham sports a trimmer version of wife Victoria Beckham's haircut at the Sport Industry Awards 2007 at Old Billingsgate on Thursday evening in London, England (Vix wearing YSL tribute pumps).
It was only a month ago that Vix got her hair bleached blonde, so it was only time before Becks got a new haircut.
What do you think of David Beckham's new haircut??? Side swept hair — YAY or NAY?

A day of violence in Iraq killed at least 22 people Friday as tensions between Shi'ites and the Sunni minority continue to simmer.
A suicide bomber set off explosives outside a Shi'ite mosque in Baghdad's Graiaat district, killing 15 and wounding 32.
A car bomb near a Sunni gathering site in the city of Samarra, north of Baghdad, killed seven.
No one has claimed responsibility for either attack.
Iraq has seen some of its worst violence in four years as frustration among the Sunni minority grows.
Many Sunnis say the Shi'ite-led government is ignoring their needs and marginalizing them politically.
The United Nations says the violence in Iraq has killed more than 2,500 people since April.

We all love sports, but some fans have an unhealthy relationship with their teams. And sure, when things are good, it's great. But when things are bad? Well, you just try that much harder.
SPORTS! Can you even believe it?
This guy can't.
Focus up! Your team needs you.
Look, we all have our superstitions.
And yet sometimes it's still not enough.
But that's no reason to get angry.
Seriously. Calm down, Larry.
Ball don't lie. Just like hips.
You know what? This is crazy. Let's take a quick dance break.
Maybe you can lay off the points, fellas, before you hurt the band.
Whoops, too late.
Time out. When did golf get this exciting?
Some of these people have serious anger issues.
OK, this is genuinely getting scary.
Seriously, who's this guy? Can we go home?
You know what? Nevermind.
Sometimes you just have to perservere.
And great things will eventually happen.
And you won't be able to contain yourself.
You might even want to cry.
I lied. You'll definitely want to cry, but that's OK! Let it happen!

Great honest cigars.Tried backwoods and the 1882 s just not my cup of tea liked the ugly coyotes better.
I just had a really bad experience with a Ugly Coyote cigar. I lit it as usual, It started popping inside and tasted absolutely terrible. Upon inspection I found a piece of nylon rope wrapped inside the cigar. I have been ordering the Ugly Coyote cigars for a long time. I'm really getting disappointed in their quality. The wraps are not tight, like they used to be and the taste towards the end is bad on some. Most are burning very uneven.
I prefer these over similar cigars due to taste.
beats back woods by size and tast hands down
The best little cigar that you can.get,don,t care what other folks say.it is the best tasting,cigar out there.
Excellent little everyday smoke that is acceptably sweet, rolled by hand and is an excellent alternative to the sugary sweet, so thin it collapses, spit tobacco bits out yout mouth Backwoods at half the cost. Yes, pouch aroma doesn't clear your nasal passage as does Backwoods... but, is more neutral.I recommend the Original Natural Sweet.
This is my first order with the Famous Smoke Shop and the first time ive smoked this brand and i found the taste excellent and the size is much bigger than Backwoods cigars i will buy more in the future and i would recommend these to my friends. AL.
I rated this cheroot 100 because it's perfect, rough looking wrapper is exactly the way it should be. I'v smoked at least 3 other brands of cheroots, and I would rate these the Best. Takes me back to those spanish western Movies. A great everyday smoke.
Perfect daily cigar. Great taste. I take em to work as I normally don't have time to sit down for long. Keeps me happy till I can get home and really relax. I will keep ordering them.
Been smoking Backwoods cigars for quite some time now and thought I'd give these a shot. What a difference. The Ugly Coyote's are a way better cigar! Absolutely no comparison. Better made, better tasting and just an all around great cigar for the price. If your presently a Backwood's customer you will not be disappointed with these! One thing I always disliked about the Backwood's cigars was their poor construction. Half the time I would find myself wasting descent portions of the Backwood's cigars because they would just fall apart. The Ugly Coyotes are much better constructed and are handmade also! Thanks, Famous Smoke Shop! I will certainly be a returning customer.
My favorite ugly coyote yet.
I was very surprised at the flavor of these cigars! They were much tastier than the "other" guys and a better value as well. These are my new anytime smokes. Thank you Famous, I will be buying these by the case now!!

Understanding Audi
- Audi side assist
The lane change assistant Audi side assist aids the driver when changing lane.
With its radar sensors in the rear bumper, the system monitors traffic in the driver's blind spot. When a vehicle approaches from behind, the LED warning signal lights up.
The area beside and behind the vehicle is monitored by radar sensors at speeds above 30 km/h. When there is a vehicle in the blind spot or a vehicle is approaching rapidly from behind, the LED signal in the respective exterior mirror is continuously illuminated as a warning to the driver.
If the turn signal is operated in this situation, the lights in the exterior mirror flash to alert the driver to the danger of a collision. Audi side assist does not actively intervene in the controlling of the vehicle and the driver may deactivate it at any time by pressing a button on the driver door.

The Wake Forest School of Medicine Department of Neurology offers outstanding fellowship programs in a variety of subspecialty areas, including:
These fellowships are designed to prepare neurologists for a career in either private practice or academic medicine. Most of the programs will qualify participants to take a national certifying subspecialty examination, and all programs feature faculty who are recognized leaders in their subspecialties.
The relatively small size of the training programs allows for daily contact between faculty and fellows. Fellows also interact closely with neurology residents and medical students.
Fellowship programs have a clinical emphasis, but research is strongly encouraged. In addition to participation in ongoing research projects, fellows are encouraged to design clinical projects of their own.
