Homeopathy is a treatment option that was practiced widely in the United States until the early twentieth century, when medicinal (pharmaceutical) drugs became popular. Homeopathy is still very much accepted and used in Europe, especially in Germany, Switzerland, and England.
Homeopathy seeks cures that correspond with the natural laws of healing. The living human being is affected by internal as well as external elements, which together result in a dynamic balance or imbalance of the person's mind, body, and spirit. These three parts of the whole are closely interrelated, and whatever happens to one part may ultimately affect one or both of the other parts. The natural laws of healing recognize this principle and the ability of the body to heal itself with the aid of materials and methods that are nontoxic and have no side effects.
The term homeopathy comes from the Greek roots homoios, meaning similar, and pathos, meaning suffering or sickness. The basic law of homeopathy is "the law of similars." The law states that a substance can cure a disease if it produces in a healthy person symptoms similar to and much milder than those of the disease.
Samuel Christian Friedrich Hahnemann was the German physician who formulated the theory of homeopathy in the 1800s. However, Hahnemann was not the
first to discover the concept. In 400 B.C., Hippocrates wrote that through the like, disease is produced, and through application of the like, disease is cured. Besides Hippocrates, Paracelsus, a sixteenth century German physician, also described the law of similars in his writings. However, it was Hahnemann who developed the therapeutic agents prescribed in homeopathy that have been published in the Materia Medical First published in 1927, the Materia Medica, by William Boericke, M.D., is the most complete encyclopedia of homeopathic therapeutic agents developed by Hahnemann, and is widely used by homeopathic physicians as a source book.
Today, a homeopathic physician, by observing symptoms of a disease, prescribes the appropriate substance, which under scientifically controlled conditions has produced the same disease symptoms in a healthy person. The traditional form of treating with homeopathic substances was prescribing one therapeutic agent at a time, until the original symptoms had decreased. Some modern practitioners recommend using multiple agents simultaneously. Homeopathic treatments have been found to have no side effects; however, if an inappropriate therapy is given, no change will occur in the symptoms or disease.
Homeopathic therapies are prepared by potentization. Each agent is prepared by successive dilutions of the ingredients (plant or animal origin), alternating with succussion (vigorous shaking), which is continued until the resulting medicine contains no molecules of the original substance. Potencies for homeopathic agents are designated by a number that is followed by an x. The x represents 10, and signifies that the mother tincture has been diluted to one part in 10. The number preceding the x indicates the number of times the remedy has been diluted. The more diluted a remedy is, the more potent it is said to be. Thus, a 6x potency remedy, which has been diluted 6 times, is considered more potent than a 3x remedy, which has been diluted only 3 times.

The annual Bloomington Gold show in Lake Charles, Illinois, always draws an impressive lineup of the world's finest historic Corvettes. This year proved no exception when two significant Corvette race cars were presented for bidding at the show's traditional Mecum auction. Both cars competed at the '63 12 Hours of Sebring, their construction having been personally supervised by Corvette Chief Engineer Zora-Arkus Duntov just prior to the race.
Walking around these cars in the Bloomington exhibit area provided a glimpse into a veritable Corvette-racing time capsule. Compared with today's race cars, these Sting Rays look like slightly modified versions of their regular-production counterparts. But in 1963 they were state-of-the-art, factory-built competitors, ready to do battle with the world's best performance machines.
Prior to the Sting Ray, the Corvette had been unbeatable in production-car racing. Corvette Chief Engineer Zora-Arkus Duntov aimed to preserve this legacy by designing a racing version of the Sting Ray, called the Z06. This "Special Performance Package" included unique dual-circuit power brakes with sintered- metallic linings, vented backing plates, larger finned brake drums, cooling fans in the drums themselves, and self adjusters that worked moving forward instead of in reverse.
The suspension modifications consisted of a heavy-duty rear transverse spring (with seven leaves rather than nine), beefed-up front springs, and specially calibrated shock absorbers all around. Also included were a 36-gallon fuel tank and aluminum knock-off wheels. Besides the Special Performance Package, additional options were required, including a 360hp fuel-injected engine, a four-speed transmission, and a Posi-traction rearend. The Z06 option added $1,818.14 to the Corvette's $4,252.00 base price, with the other required upgrades tacking on another $661.75.
Racers had high hopes for the new Z06, but these were quickly dashed when Carroll Shelby introduced a heavily reworked British roadster called the Cobra. In addition to being 1,000 pounds lighter than the Z06, the Cobra had disc brakes and an engine whose output equaled the Corvette's. Zora knew the Corvettes didn't stand a chance against the Cobras in short events, but endurance races were another story altogether. Here, he believed the Corvette's sturdy design would give it a durability advantage over the lightweight Shelby.
Zora maintained a close relationship with several of the more successful private Corvette race teams of the day. He shipped a total of six Z06 Vettes to these teams, among them the Gulf Oil and Johnson Chevrolet outfits, for the '63 12 Hours of Sebring. These cars were notable for their new two-bar knockoff wheels, which were nicknamed "tin wheels" by team members.
When the Gulf team fitted larger tires and wheel spacers to its tin-wheeled Corvettes, race organizers responded by making the team add bulging fender flares to the cars prior to the race. The No. 2 Gulf car experienced a tin-wheel failure during practice, prompting the team to replace the wheels with factory steel units. The No. 3 Johnson Racing Sting Ray, driven by Delmo Johnson and Dave Morgan, did not get the spacers and therefore was not required to wear the unsightly flares.
The race got off to an ominous start for the Gulf team when its white No. 1 car dropped out early due to mechanical problems. Then, with only four hours left in the race, the No. 2 Gulf car pitted in a cloud of steam, the victim of a failed water pump. The No. 3 Johnson Sting Ray, meanwhile, soldiered on to finish Second in class and Sixteenth overall.
Both the No. 1 and No. 3 cars have since undergone extensive restorations and now appear just as they did at the start of the 1963 race. Not surprisingly, both received a lot of interest from the Mecum auction buyers, with the No. 3 car being bid all the way up to $1,150,000 before finally ending with a no-sale. Some 43 years after their racing debut, Zora's handbuilt Cobra killers continue to thrill.

Sen. John Boozman, an Arkansas Republican who underwent heart surgery earlier this week, is "doing amazingly well," according to the surgeon who performed the operation.
"Senator Boozman is doing amazingly well after surgery to replace his ascending aorta. One reason he is doing so well is because of his great physical condition. At this time, we expect the Senator to have a full recovery. He should be able to return to his full duties without any restrictions in the future," said Dr. E.J. Chauvin, the Mercy Cardiac & Thoracic surgeon.
A statement from the senator's office said Boozman has been talking with family for long stretches and walking frequently with the aid of the medical staff.
"The Senator is mobile and conversational to the extent that he can be given the discomfort this procedure creates," said Boozman spokesman Patrick Creamer. "He's spent a great deal of time talking with his family and even spoke briefly with his chief of staff. We are told these are all excellent signs that his recovery is on the right track,"

(AP) Minnesota bank closes, makes 2nd failure of 2013
Regulators have closed a small lender in Minnesota, making it the second U.S. bank failure of 2013 following 51 closures last year.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. on Friday seized 1st Regents Bank, based in Andover, Minn.
The bank had roughly $50.2 million in assets and $49.1 million in deposits as of Sept. 30.
First Minnesota Bank, based in Minnetonka, Minn., agreed to pay the FDIC a 2 percent premium to assume all of the deposits of the failed lender.
It also agreed to buy essentially all of 1st Regents' assets.
The failure of 1st Regents, which had a single banking branch, is expected to cost the deposit insurance fund $10.5 million.
U.S. bank closures have been declining since they peaked in 2010 in the wake of the financial crisis and the Great Recession.
In 2007 just three banks went under. That number jumped to 25 in 2008, after the financial meltdown, and ballooned to 140 in 2009.
In 2010 regulators seized 157 banks, the most in any year since the savings and loan crisis two decades ago. The FDIC has said 2010 likely was the high-water mark for bank failures from the recession. They declined to a total of 92 in 2011.
Last year bank failures slowed to 51, but that's still more than normal.
In a strong economy an average of only four or five banks close annually. The sharply reduced pace of closings shows sustained improvement.
From 2008 through 2011, bank failures cost the deposit insurance fund an estimated $88 billion, and the fund fell into the red in 2009. But with failures slowing, the fund's balance turned positive in the second quarter of 2011. By Sept. 30 of this year it stood at $25.2 billion, up from $22.7 billion at the end of June.
The FDIC expects bank failures from 2012 through 2016 to cost $10 billion.

Today's Meditation
Read Psalm 34:1-14
O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who take refuge in him.
-Psalm 34:8 (NRSV)
LAST night I made a greenchili, chicken-enchilada casserole that had won rave reviews from my friends. My son ventured into the kitchen, asked what we were having for dinner, and turned up his nose at the unfamiliar dish.
"Taste it, and see if you like it," I said. "Don't base your opinion on what it looks like, what you think about the ingredients, what jokes your brother makes about it, or anything else. Try it for yourself."
Later, while I was meditating on Psalm 34:8, I thought of the enchilada casserole and my son's reaction to it. In much the same way, some people turn up their noses at religion, basing their opinion on what they hear or on what they think about someone who is religious.
We do not have to rely on what other people say about God, and we do not learn about God only by reading scripture, singing hymns, or listening to sermons. Each of these is valuable, but God calls us to take another step, a step from knowledge to relationship. We build a relationship with God through spending personal time with God and by praying. As we talk to God about our lives and get to know God personally, we will see for ourselves "that the Lord is good."
Cathy Wesolek
(Indiana, USA)
Prayer: Lord God, help us to move closer to you. Let us taste and see that you are good. Amen.
Thought of the Day: Knowing about God is only the beginning of relationship with God.

Winter time means that it's going to be Christmas soon, and Christmas means that Santa Claus will be coming to visit us, hopefully. But it also means that in many parts of the world, large motorcycle parades will be held with bikers dressed as Santa Claus, or at the very least have a Santa hat on.
Usually these parades are done for charity, especially considering the fact that it's often freezing cold, so people are more inclined to contribute money for a good cause. Most often the causes are toys for children, like the famous Toys for Tots motorcycle runs.
Santa parades are not only held in North America, you'll even find them in countries were you would not think Christmas has a traditional meaning. Countries like South Korea will see large parades of motorcycle-riding-Santa. The same in Japan and other Asian countries. But of course you will also find them in Europe and South America.
But lets face it, it's nice for Santa to go out in his sledge pulled by reindeer, but using cute animals for heavy labor can be seen as cruel to animals, while riding a motorcycle is not only cool, it is also convenient for Santa.
So if you're able to ride in the winter, and there's a gathering near to you, why not dress up as Santa, start up your bike, and join the parade. It's fun, and for a good cause.
If you want to find out what is being done in your area, head on over to the Toys for Tots site. You'll be able to search by state and then county. Not everything is motorcycle parades, but you'll be able to help kids in need. And that is what Christmas is all about, right?

The Memphis Grizzlies have the hot hand right now with two straight and four wins in the last five tries. They will go for another victory Sunday versus the New Orleans Hornets at FedEx Forum.
The Grizzlies will wrap up a four-game homestand, which began with a loss to the Indiana Pacers. However, the Grizzlies responded with back-to-back wins over the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets to run their home mark to 17-6.
Memphis destroyed the Nets, 101-77, on Friday and scored a season-best 67 points in the first half en route to the second-largest win of the season. A season-high seven players scored in double figures for the Grizzlies, who got 20 points from Marc Gasol and 14 by Mike Conley.
Zach Randolph compiled 12 points and nine rebounds for the Grizzlies, who used an 11-0 run for a 53-33 advantage late in the second quarter and scored a season-high 62 points in the paint. The Grizz are 13-0 when scoring 100 points this season and lead the league in points allowed per game (89.2).
Brooklyn never got any closer than 18 points the rest of the way.
"They just took it to us," Nets coach P.J. Carlesimo said of the Grizzlies. "They're one of the best teams in the league and they showed us why."
Rudy Gay scored 11 points and appeared in his 477th game for Memphis, passing Pau Gasol as the franchise leader in games played.
The Grizzlies will visit Philadelphia and Oklahoma City after Sunday's game.
New Orleans is opening a five-game road trip in Memphis and also has the Lakers, Jazz, Nuggets and Timberwolves on the schedule. The Hornets have lost two straight and three of four games since winning six of seven.
The Hornets were handed a 100-82 setback by the Houston Rockets Friday as Eric Gordon netted 20 points and Ryan Anderson added 19 in a losing cause. Al- Farouq Aminu and rookie Anthony Davis contributed 11 and 10 points, respectively, for New Orleans, which played its first game since the club's official announcement of the name change to the Pelicans.
"We didn't have the kind of focus that is necessary to play against an NBA team, especially one that has beaten you pretty good," said New Orleans coach Monty Williams.
New Orleans is only 28th out of 30 teams with 93.3 ppg and owns a 7-14 record outside the Big Easy. The Hornets are 2-10 on the road against the West.
Memphis defeated the Hornets, 96-89, in the first meeting of the season Dec. 7 at New Orleans Arena and has won six of the past seven games in this series.
The Grizzlies have won three in a row at home versus the Hornets.

An extraordinary work of natural history
With their extravagant, sweeping plumage and glorious iridescent colours, birds of paradise appear almost mythical: indeed it was once thought that they lived entirely in the air, only falling to the ground when they died. Their plumes have been exchanged as currency and worn in sovereigns' crowns, and they played a part in helping Darwin, together with A . R. Wallace, formulate his theory of evolution. At the end of the 19th century, Richard Bowdler Sharpe published his Monograph of the Paradiseidae and Ptilonorhynchidae. Dedicated entirely to birds of paradise and bower-birds, it is one of the greatest bird books and, for many, the most beautiful ever created.
'The Folio Society has produced a truly remarkable edition of one of the greatest of all bird books. Birds of paradise are among the most spectacular and colourful creatures on earth, and this book displays them in all their extraordinary beauty and variety'
The illustrations showed these fabulous birds in radiant colour and exquisite detail. Their beauty is breathtaking – from the Great Sicklebilled Bird of Paradise, with its shimmering plumage and long, sweeping tail feathers, to the Emperor Bird of Paradise with its foamy white and golden plumage. The book is an ornithological and artistic triumph.
David Attenborough has written a foreword to this new Folio Society edition, in which he gives a fascinating account of the spell these birds have cast across the centuries, prized by every society that came across them, from indigenous tribes of New Guinea to the King of Siam. More personally, they are prized by Attenborough himself, who first came across this book in a library as a boy: 'I was astounded then by the birds' beauty. And I am in thrall to them still.'
'A grand finale to a glorious episode in publishing history'
The 19th century saw a rapid evolution in the publication of natural history books. Magnificent large-scale tomes, sumptuously bound and illustrated with hand-coloured plates, celebrated all the latest discoveries of exotic birds and animals around the world. Richard Bowdler Sharpe was Assistant Keeper of the British Museum's Zoology Department, and had collaborated with John Gould on The Birds of New Guinea. Following Gould's death in 1881, Sharpe set out to create an entirely new work dedicated entirely to birds of paradise and to bower-birds, then thought to be related to birds of paradise.

60. What Are You Posting on Your Rental's Facebook Page?casa267 Aug 17, 2011 4:19 PM (in response to sfvacationhut)
I have question for you as it seems you done the vanity url part already.
I am very new to Facebook. I have set up my page ( my friend helped me) and I have 22 likes so far so Ihope to get to the magic 25 soon.
I do not have a user name in place on my personal profile and I have read that you must have one before you can get the vanity URL.
As there seems to be an issue of changing if you get it wrong the first time I wanted to ask you
do you put something similar to your own name or would you want it to be the same as what you will put for your vanity
my site is
sorry if this is a dumb question
61. Re: What Are You Posting on Your Rental's Facebook Page?paradiseinthepines Aug 17, 2011 10:28 PM (in response to casa267)
I tried to like as many pages as I could. There are lots of great vacation rentals in this thread! We'd like to stay at all of them.
If you want to quickly add FB page "Likes", consider an ad on FB. For just a few dollars, you can get over the 25 fan threshold for the vanity URL. We set up an ad one night before going to bed and woke up to 40 new fans. We pay around 0.20 per click and convert about 80% of clicks to Likes. I have no idea if this is good, but compared to what I paid for Google advertising, it seems like I get more traffic per dollar on FB. I would be interested in others experience (maybe a new thread topic focused on FB/Social media advertising).
Paradise in the Pines
62. Re: What Are You Posting on Your Rental's Facebook Page?amyg Aug 18, 2011 1:08 AM (in response to paradiseinthepines)
Paradise, how did you get .20 per click? That's fantastic! We marketed in Cincinnati and Nashville and our PPC ran about 45-50 cents. At the beginning of our campaign, FB suspended our Nashville campaign because our PPC bid was too low to be productive (I think we were bidding 76 cents max for a click). At the end of our 4 week campaign, we ended up with about 120 Likes at a cost of $100. Our conversion rate from clicks to likes was about 2 clicks for every 1 like. I'm hoping Jennifer on the social media forum can give me some insight as to how we can do a better job next time and lower that PPC cost. Congrats on coming out with such a strong performance. I think you did a great job!
63. Re: What Are You Posting on Your Rental's Facebook Page?paradiseinthepines Aug 18, 2011 7:19 PM (in response to amyg)
Hi Amy,
I just started a new ad last night. So far, I have spent $5.37 and have 17 new Likes. I am averaging 0.24 CPC and had 22 clicks total. I set a $3 a day budget so I don't run up a big bill. The CPC will drop as I get more days worth of data. My bid is 0.46 per click. I tried to attach a screen shot but there was an error. May we start a thread for ad stats because I am interested in finding out what a good benchmark is.
My previous ad cost me $23 for 72 likes and about 100 clicks.
I have been running different versions of the same basic ad with different pictures and different landing pages to see what the most effective combo is.
I also have run a FB ad but sent the user to my Vacation Rentals ad (external link). This ad had worse stats. The CPC was 0.60 and the CTR was very low. I had a $50 FB ad credit from somewhere so it was free money and I wanted to see how it worked. I wont spend my own money this way unless I figure out what I did wrong. In the end, I didnt get any new VR inquiries - it seems running a deal works better to increase inquiries for VR.
Lastly. I had a $100 Google credit and ran a ad on Google directing them to our cabin website which has the VRBO calendar integrated. We burned through that pretty quickly. We paid $107 for 197 clicks (0.55 CPC) and maybe got 2 phone calls with little chance we can interact with them in the future.
That is about what I know.

Amy, another question for you is what is your target audience size? That affects your bid. My last few ads have targetted between 64K and 153K people. We run specific targetted audiences.

Here are some of the things we are putting on Facebook as "tabs' (I linked to the tabs too)
Property Search and Booking Engine to try to drive revenue.
Map and Directions to help people find you
Email Newsletter Signup to collect email addresses
Listings Tab ... a place to just list lots of stuff, like your homes.
My Favorite: A sticker giveaway... great way to add fans and collect email addresses... those little euro stickers are cheap and popular.
Hope some of these are good examples for you.

Hi Amy,
even 50 cents a fan may be good! We are seeing that many of the ads are priced differently in different markets, depending how much competition there is in that market. We had some luck trying to target different groups and found some groups were less than others. .20 cents a click is pretty remarkable!

Over the weekend I read Jenn's five social media articles here on the Community page and learned a lot. The first thing that I would point out is her suggestion of using PageModo to customize a landing page for your FB fan page. I spent yesterday afternoon doing this and was able to select my favorite photos and add a little blurb for FREE.
I currently have two FB ads running and hope that having this as the landing page will increase the number of folks who "like" my page and check out my house!
I also created a new album with lots of photos of my property. And I have put my Constant Contact newsletter up, promoting specials, also have a button to join my list, which is my contact management system on Constant Contact.
Recently I put up a little blurb about our local wild animal park featuring their Baby Giraffe Naming Contest and their holiday events, offering a $50 discount for those guests who become new members of the park and check into my house.
I can't say that I think these things are driving a lot of business, but these are all experiments to make my page more engaging. If anyone has other thoughts or feedback, let me know!

Great (and extensive) post! On this same topic, I would encourage owners to try using ASmallWorld.net. It's an invite-only version of Facebook (a little more glamorous) that features travel forums. Posting a little ad for your vacation rental (it's free) here is pretty effective because the userbase is extremely trusting of one another. Even more effective is getting one of the ASW experts to include your rental in their area destination guides. For our rentals, being listed in the Panama guide, we get about 3 reservations a month. Not bad for a free networking service!
Matt shares his statistical evidence on the Vacation Rental Marketing Blog 2011-2012: free and inexpensive ways vacation rental owners can increase occupancy and profits.
PS. I have about 10 invites left and am happy to give them away. First come first serve.

Hola Loscuatrotulipanes, I, too, would like one of the invites if still available.

Paradise, that could be it. I was targeting Nashville and Cincinnati as a more general population from mid-20s and up. Next time I'll narrow the range and maybe the PPC will be more reasonable. Thanks!

See our new eBook for inspirational designs.
Armstrong BioBased Tile (BBT) products have been on the market since 2011, and have been very well received. BBT and Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) have many of the same attributes, so the recommended installation systems are very consistent with only the adhesive recommendations being slightly different. BBT is installed using the Armstrong S-525 Clear Thin Spread BioBased Tile Adhesive or Armstrong S-700 Thin Spread Tile Adhesive, whereas VCT may be installed with any of the Armstrong tile adhesives. BBT is a significantly tougher material with higher indent and cracking resistance than VCT, but also with somewhat less flexibility and conformability. Therefore, it is important to review some conditions for successful installation.
As always, if you require additional assistance, please contact our Commercial TechLine: 1-888-276-7876.

Woman fires shot at intruder
BRIDGEPORT -- A local woman said she fired a shot at a man who broke into her aunt's North Avenue home early Wednesday morning.
The 27-year-old woman, who asked that her name not be used, said she is not sure if she hit the intruder. "We and the police looked around the apartment and we didn't see any bullet holes in the walls," she said.
Police said they are investigating the incident.
According to the woman, she was staying overnight in her aunt's home when around 2 a.m. she hear a noise in the kitchen.
"I grabbed my gun and went to see what the noise was and I saw this man standing in the kitchen," she related. She said she yelled at the man and he began coming towards her. "So I fired a shot at him," she said.
The woman added that she has a permit for the gun.

A couple of weeks ago my main computer, a <1 year old iMac, died. A basic look into the hardware from the boot disk says my hard drive is fried.
I have a few things on the drive that aren't backed up properly, so I'm hoping to get some access to it if I can.
But for the most part it's not been all that terrible of an experience. Nothing like what I lost on a desktop PC in the 90s when I dropped a beer on it. Just about everything's in the cloud now. I just pulled up my main backup laptop and I'm off to the races.
But why did that drive fail? I'm wondering if it had something to do with static electricity and this whole treadmill desk situation I set up late last year.
I averaged walking about 7 miles a day, 7 days a week over the last several months. But there was a lot of static electricity. I used a humidifier over the winter and it helped a lot, but there was still the occasional zap.
Most of those zaps were to the cordless keyboard, but every once in a while I turned the screen a bit or powered on or off.
I'm thinking that there's a better than even chance that a static charge killed the iMac.
New iMac is on the way, and I've grounded myself (metal wire attached to metal part on the treadmill, a homemade version of this).
RIP Michael Arrington's Treadmill iMac, you died in service to your master. Sorry it was friendly fire.

We are thrilled to partner with such an outstanding organization as Big City Moms, and we appreciate this unique opportunity to get to know more moms-to-be right here in our hometown of New York City,
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 19, 2012
Americord Registry is pleased to announce that it is a sponsor of Big City Moms' prestigious Biggest Baby Shower Ever event, which will take place on Monday, November 19th at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City. This educational and entertaining event will give expectant mothers in New York access to information about the latest products and services offered by 100 of the best companies in the baby care industry. At the event, Americord will offer a raffle for free cord blood banking with 20 years of storage as well as a brand new iPhone 5.
"We are thrilled to partner with such an outstanding organization as Big City Moms, and we appreciate this unique opportunity to get to know more moms-to-be right here in our hometown of New York City," said Martin Smithmyer, President and CEO of Americord Registry. "New Yorkers will be hearing from us a lot more in coming days and months as we do our best to address the needs of parents-to-be in our community." While the raffle for cord blood banking and an iPhone 5 makes things fun, Americord has a very serious purpose in attending as well. The devastating hurricane that brought economic hardship to much of the northeast at the beginning of November was a reminder that people from all walks of life in all parts of the country can find themselves facing events that impact their budget. Americord is committed to making the highest quality cord blood banking as affordable as possible so that more families can benefit from it.
By keeping its sales and marketing budget low, Americord is able to provide cord blood banking for approximately half the price of its competitors while still meeting or exceeding the highest quality standards in the industry. Leading cord blood banks typically spend upwards of 50% of their revenue on marketing efforts, whereas Americord spends closer to 5% - and those savings are passed directly through to customers. A leader in the industry, Americord is one of only two companies that enables parents-to-be to preserve stem cells from three sources available when a baby is born: umbilical cord blood, umbilical cord tissue, and placenta tissue.
About Americord Registry
Americord Registry is a leader in the advancement of umbilical cord blood, cord tissue and placenta tissue banking. Americord collects, processes, and stores newborn stem cells from umbilical cord blood for future medical or therapeutic use, including the treatment of more than 80 blood diseases such as sickle cell anemia and leukemia. Founded in 2008, Americord is registered with the FDA and operates in all 50 states. The company's laboratory is CLIA Certified, accredited by the AABB and complies with all federal and state guidelines and applicable licenses. Americord is headquartered in New York, NY.

Newtown Square, Pa.-based Balfour Beatty Communities recently announced that financing has been secured for the Fort Jackson military family housing project in Columbia, S.C. The financing proceeds will be used for the design, development, and construction/renovation of an aggregate of 850 end-state housing units. The 50-year term of the project includes a five-year initial development period (IDP), with IDP costs of approximately $168 million. Niles Bolton and Associates, Atlanta, is the architectural and engineering firm for the project. Balfour Beatty Construction, Atlanta, will provide construction services.
On August 1, Balfour Beatty Communities began providing property management and maintenance services for the family housing when it entered into agreements with the Army, including a 50-year ground lease, for the purpose of owning and managing the housing inventory. In addition to management fees, with the completion of the project financing, the company will now be entitled to earn development and construction/renovation fees throughout the term of the project. Balfour Beatty Communities currently performs similar services for projects covering 42 other military installations/bases throughout the United States with the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Congressionally authorized in 1996, the Military Housing Privatization Initiative allows the Department of Defense and Military Services to work with the private sector to upgrade the quality of family housing and operate and maintain that housing. The family housing assets are typically leveraged with private investment to accomplish housing construction and renovation goals faster and at a lower cost than military construction.

Danish Kringle pastry
Racine Danish Kringles are made from a traditional recipe that Danish bakers brought with them when they immigrated to the US in the 1880's. Kringle is a thin and delicate pastry developed hundreds of years ago in Denmark. This authentic old-world recipe has been handed down from generation to generation. Today, Racine Danish Kringles continues the tradition using time tested recipes and techniques, handcrafting only the highest quality Kringles. Our bakers spend three days folding and rolling butter into the dough to create delicious flaky layers in every one of our pastries. Each Kringle is filled with the finest fruit, nut, gourmet or candy filling, baked to a golden brown, and finished with a sweet vanilla or rich chocolate icing. When you order a Racine Danish Kringles pastry, you or your gift recipient will experience a gourmet pastry that gives meaning to the concept of old-fashioned baking excellence. Racine Danish Kringles makes the perfect gift for any holiday or special occasion, and are wonderful treats for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert.

First session of the 103rd Legislature ends
LINCOLN -- The first session of the 103rd Legislature came to a close Wednesday after Gov. Dave Heineman addressed the body, praising senators for their work and calling for "a giant step forward" in tax reform next session.Despite issuing more than 20 line-item vetoes on the two-year budget, about half of which were overturned, Heineman thanked the Appropriations Committee for its efforts, saying he agreed with members on the most important issues, like state aid to schools and rebuilding the cash fund."Most importantly, we balanced the budget without raising taxes," he said.Heineman said the Legislature addressed some important issues this year. He cited several bills dealing with taxes, including a bill by Sen. Paul Schumacher of Columbus to repeal the alternative minimum tax for state income tax filings, and a bill by Sen. Galen Hadley of Kearney to increase income tax deductions for families saving for college. Heineman acknowledged that some of the debate this session was contentious and said he appreciated the discussion on tough issues.He specifically mentioned the failed attempt to pass a bill expanding Medicaid."I want to thank the senators who questioned the affordability and sustainability of expanding Medicaid," Heineman said.Heineman called for a renewed push for tax relief next session. Earlier this year, he introduced proposals to reduce or eliminate state income tax and make up for the lost revenue by repealing several sales tax exemptions. Those bills did not have enough support to make it out of the Revenue Committee.The Legislature instead formed a committee to study the state's tax structure over the interim and come back next session with legislative recommendations.Speaker Greg Adams of York said if he could think of one word to describe this session it would be: "difficult." "We took on difficult issues," he said, "There are things yet to be resolved."He asked senators to take some time to recuperate but be ready to work on the more than 250 interim studies the Legislature has commissioned this session.Adams said out of 661 bills introduced this session, 214 became law, placing this session on par with the past several years, despite unusually high numbers of filibusters and gubernatorial vetoes this year."We did our work," Adams said.

Accused rapists' cases continued
Three men accused of first-degree rape and other charges had their cases continued in court last week.
Eddy Fernando Barrios-Ortiz, Milion Estuardo Barrios-Ortiz and Carlos Andreas Corenza Zeledon, all of Hickory, are charged with first-degree rape, robbery with a firearm, kidnapping and first-degree sexual assault stemming from an incident that occurred in January.
They were scheduled to appear in Catawba County Superior Criminal Court last week.
The Barrios-Ortiz brothers' cases were continued to Oct. 4, and Zeledon's case was continued to Dec. 6.
The men allegedly kidnapped a woman on Jan. 9 from a Hickory parking lot at gunpoint. According to Hickory Police, the men then drove the victim to another location, where they sexually assaulted her and forced her to give them her personal identification number, so they could withdraw money from her bank account.
The Barrios-Ortiz brothers were also charged in July when DNA evidence connected them to another rape case that allegedly occurred in January 2008.
The Barrios-Ortiz brothers are in Catawba County jail under a $1 million bond each.

I've written a few times before about the spread of Software as a Service (SaaS) in the messaging and collaboration market. For example, there are several well-known message hygiene SaaS offerings, including Microsoft Exchange Hosted Filtering, Google's Postini, and MessageLabs; there are also entire applications or application suites, such as Salesforce.com and Microsoft's hosted CRM, Exchange Server, and SharePoint offerings. If you're considering using a hosted service for messaging and collaboration, what should you be looking for? More importantly, what should you be looking out for?
Let's start with the elephant in the room: service availability and quality. Any time you use a hosted service, you're putting yourself at its mercy. Google recently sent a message to subscribers about its series of August outages. In essence, the message was the sort of almost-apology common from large corporations who have let their customers down in some way; it expressed regret for the outage and offered some vague platitudes about how Google is working to keep outages from happening in the future. (See my blog entry, "Google: we're almost sorry about our outage," for a more detailed dissection of Google's message.)
One of the advantages of SaaS is that it's supposed to free you from worrying about maintaining high availability for critical services; any service that can't do that isn't worthy of consideration for business use. Look carefully at the history of outages—and the service provider's track record of communication and transparency—before you plunk down any money.
Next, what about migration? If you're setting up a new organization from scratch, you might not think of this as a big deal—but it could become a big deal later when you want to move your accumulated mail and calendar data to a different platform. Exchange offers IMAP-based migration through the Microsoft Transporter Suite so you can easily move data in and out, but the migration story for SaaS messaging isn't nearly as clear. Premise-hosted solutions such as Exchange tend to be quite sticky because migrating away from them can be difficult and expensive; SaaS vendors would like to encourage this same degree of stickiness, but it's hard to do. Google in particular is a great example: They don't provide any native migration tools to get data into or out of Google Apps Premier Edition, which should certainly give you pause.
Finally, there's the question of functionality. There's no serious argument: Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 is the most full-featured messaging and calendaring client available, which is why vendors such as Google, PostPath, and Scalix make so much noise about their back-end systems' ability to work seamlessly with Outlook. However, Microsoft has a steady tradition of providing "better together" functionality that requires both Exchange and Outlook to deliver full capabilities. Google appears to be making more effort in this direction with Chrome, which is more an application runtime (think "offline Gmail") than a browser. However, in most cases SaaS systems lack functionality found in self-hosted systems, so you should be sure to check into whether SaaS solutions you investigate have all the features you're currently using.

Drawing: Incised Scripts, Line Drawings
One of the most valuable tools that computer imaging offers is the ability to draw one's interpretation of the text directly on top of an image of the text. The drawing is ALWAYS done on a different layer or series of layers, so that the drawing can be changed without losing the original data of the photograph. A layer is like a transparency placed on top of a photograph--anything done to the transparency leaves the original photograph untouched.
The first example presented here is an incised inscription--letters carved in stone. One way of drawing characters in this type of inscription is to draw the "spine" of a letter rather than its outline. The "spine" can then be "stroked" with a paintbush or pencil tool to the thickness of the incision.
When drawing letters on an incised inscription it is best to use images taken with contrasting lights. We usually make our drawings with at least two images on the screen. A letter will be drawn on one image and copied to the other, so that there are matching drawings on both (or all) images. We will assume in the following example that two images are used, and that they have been sized to one another.
1. Open two sized images taken with contrasting lights and zoom in to the area to be drawn.
2. In the Layer window, click on the right arrow and select "New Layer." Give the layer a name and click on "OK." All other settings in this window should follow the sample below.
Your drawing should now take place with the new layer selected. You can draw all your letters on one drawing layer, or you can add a layer for each letter. Layers do, however, increase the size of the file, so make sure you have enough memory to accommodate large files.
3. In the Paths window, click on the right arrow and select "New Path." Name the path and click "OK."
The path will be the series of points you choose to trace or draw your letter. The computer authomatically connects the points, somewhat like a dot-to-dot drawing.
4. Select the Pen Tool. You will begin drawing with the basic pen tool (#1). Trace the letter by clicking at a few points (called "anchor points") along the spine of the letter. Use as few points as possible for a smooth line (only four points have been used to create the path below). The computer will automatically connect the points. At first the outline will look rather crude, but there are other tools that will be used to shape the path more precisely.
5. Now select, under Pen Tool, the Convert Point Tool (#5). Click on one of the anchor points and drag the cursor to one side. You will see that you have created "handlebars." Moving the cursor around while holding on to the end of the handle bar allows you to bend the path.
Each side of the handlebar can also be moved independently. Unclick, then click on the end of one of the handlebars. It will now move by itself. Move the handlbar around, lengthening or shortening it as needed to curve the line to the curve of the letter. You may need to work with points at both ends of a line to achieve the correct curve.
6. See Stroking Paths and Copying Drawings for completing the drawing by "painting" the path.
