Ever notice the new "technology" with regard to the way men's belts are cinched? The old way is the peg/hole standard (actually prong/frame in the belt industry). The new way is more of a ratchet method with a track of indents on the reverse side of the belt with a spring-catch mechanism on the backside of the buckle.
This new way makes cinching the belt both easier and also much more adjustable, given that the tracks have increments at around ¼-inch apart.
That's a good thing. In the old way, the holes in the leather are roughly an inch apart, with maybe five holes to choose from to make that belt fit an ever-widening waistline. So with the increments much closer in the new "tracked" belts, adjusting the belt to how bloated you feel any given day becomes much more accommodating.
There are two manufacturers in the forefront here. Mission Belt offers a fairly sleek design to their buckle, which has a release latch on the back. Comfort Click's belts look more traditional and have a different mechanism with the way the buckle operates. The Mission Belt comes in a variety of styles. The Comfort Click comes in just the one traditional style, pictured above.
I'd heard about the Mission Belt a few years ago. The Comfort Click, I believe, is more recent. The thing is, the Mission Belt gets an A in appearance, an A- in the way it releases. The Comfort Click get a A in the way it releases, but a D in its appearance.
New-fangled belts are drawing on old tech in the way they operate. Military belts have a plain shield-like buckle that the strap goes through, and the friction bar behind it locks the strap into position. The similarity here is that the buckle hides the cinching. The new belts have taken this as a jump-off point to rethink just how to make the belts work better and still hide the cinch.
The Mission Belt's appearance is sleek and takes a more fashion approach with different models to choose from. Its release mechanism is OK, but could be a little smaller. The Comfort Click's release is pretty smooth, but the design of the belt's appearance was left on the cutting room floor.
Which made me wonder just why a company—which obviously prides itself on innovation—would market a retro-style belt, its only model. Seems to me that you'd want to have your new belt work and look like no other. But here the buckle, with its traditional frame and prong appearance, is fake.
That's like a car company introducing a new 2018 model with a revolutionary drivetrain, yet on the outside it looks like one from 1965. It's backward thinking.

Profit Is In The Bag VRA
Vera Bradley, Inc. (VRA) is a retailer and wholesaler of women's fashion accessories primarily sold in the United States. Currently trading at $23.79, we believe there to be significant upside to $35 in the long term on a fundamental basis, yet possibly bumping up against short term resistance at $25 from a technic michael kors watch al perspective. A majority of the data in this article can be found in the most recent quarterly report.
OpportunitiesThe valuation is cheap. VRA is trading at 12x forward earnings compared to the clothing and accessory industry overall, which is trading at 19x forward earnings. The 1 Year EPS growth rate for the industry is 4.3% while Vera Bradley has grown EPS at close to a 28% clip.
michael kors watch The shares are heavily shorted with 9.6M shares short as of May 15, 2012. This is 47.8% of the total float an amazing number. Insiders own 52% of the shares and the short ratio is 11 days. An earnings beat a few weeks ago had the company trading above $27 in after market action, but Spain's banks found a way to spoil the party. When the market realizes what a value opportunity exists in VRA, the shares should rebound in short order.
StrengthsThe company has beat analyst consensus estimates for six of the seven quarters it's been a public company.
TTM revenues were over $476M with 15.6% quarterly revenue growth year over year. For a company with a market cap south of $1B with revenue growth at these levels and the Vera Bradley brand name recognition, it is certain that the shares will experience a rebound when investors take the time to look more closely.
WeaknessesWhen compared to Deckers Outdoor Corp. (DECK) at 13.4% and Crocs, Inc. (CROX) at 11.44%, VRA has similar profit margins (12.5%) but a higher forward multiple (11.8x). DECK, CROX and Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (ICON) all trade at multiples below 10. Value investors have plenty of options to choose from as do consumers, is VRA the right choice?
With success primarily in the US, VRA has not shown it can grow sales internationally. This can also be viewed as an opportunity if the company can right the ship in time to capitalize on the growing Chinese middle class.
ThreatsCoach, Inc. (COH) remains the ultimate competitor and Tiffany michael kors watch Co. (TIF) is making its way into the luxury bag segment, so the market in the developed world is beginning to look a bit more crowded. Michael Kors Holdings Ltd. (KORS), Fossil, Inc. (FOSL), and Guess Inc. (GES) are other popular names experiencing a rise in sales of handbags.
Technical AnalysisVRA has moved above a significant downtrend but still faces some sticking points on its journey higher. The daily chart has price breaking above the existing downtrend which was preceded by a bullish divergence in the RSI at oversold levels. VRA is now trading at the 50 day moving average. This area of resistance also includes the most recent reaction high ($25.04 on May 29) as well as a significant low made during the third week of August 2011 ($24.83), so some fairly stiff resistance could be in play. Look for volume to accompany any move higher to measure the conviction held in these higher levels.
(click to enlarge)
The weekly chart shares several key characteristics with the daily action as it also sports a bullish divergence in the RSI and is coming off of oversold levels. Resistance also exists as the aforementioned $24.83 low and the shorter term moving average at which it currently trades. Again, watch for how the stock continues to trade around $25 and what type of volume it sees as to the next possible short term move.
(click to enlarge)
ConclusionWith 2012 earnings estimates at $1.43 per share and the Clothing and Accessories industry trading as a whole at 19x forward earnings, we believe the minimum price VRA should trade at by the end of the yea michael kors watch r will be $27.17. This assumption is based on VRA being just an "average" accessory company an average accessory company with "spectacular" earnings growth and we believe the upside for the stock to be above $35 in the near future. The major catalysts for a move higher include the extremely high short ratio combined with the ability for the company to consistently beat analyst expectations. Eventually this stock will trade at a multiple it deserves, in the meantime you should use this opportunity to take advantage and pick up shares at current levels. We have.

Soooo You are
Getting Back Into Dating Again!!!"
The Best in Dating Relationship Information
I worked with "Psychic Twins" Avalon and Raven on their radio shows, and refer clients to them when I'm too busy.
Nancy Matz
After 26 years of giving psychic readings, I've noticed more than 50% of my clients are asking me for assistance with their "Love Life." Life is complex enough. Truly a malfunctioning Love Relationship can disrupt, confuse and cause depression to every aspect of our lives. These are many of the reasons that prompted me to set up this web site and bring more assistance to all of you seeking a better balanced love relationship.
Avalon is the author of "Twin Souls." She had been giving accurate love readings for most of her life. She can tap into your lovers energy to find out why he/she does the things they do. A reading with her will feel like chatting with an old friend.
Raven is a 4th generation psychic. She has been giving readings for over 6 years. Her approach is honest and accurate. She can describe facial features and she is great with time-frames.
These two sites were set up to talk about dealing with Grief and the second one a easy to look at, to send off to someone who wants to consider talking to me.
My two books have been marked down to the lowest Amazon Kindle will allow to $2.99!

Thanks, Nancy. I am not sure if you wanted feedback or not, but I can't help answer your email.
You've described Beau to a "T"...down to the male energy and the "pretty boy" persona. You're absolutely right, I do play the failure and the why's of the breakup over and over in my head...and now I realize it's because I WAS more mature than him and not as "young" spiritually as him. I see now that we were not a good match, although at the time I would have begged to differ.
Looking back on things, and reading your response, makes me realize his was not the path I was meant to follow - and for that, I thank you.
You're always there for me,
I appreciate that so much. :)

Hopefully you find your answers in my forthcoming book on dating and having a successful relationship!
I met you back in 1995 after my dad had passed and through him you helped to bring the love and laughter back into my heart. You helped guide my path to find my Husband whom I am married to now by telling me to let go of my relationships with the past men and to just turn around and see my white haired man with whom I would love and laugh with for the rest of my life. When I first met Tim I kept pushing him aside, telling him he was in my way of finding my white haired man. He stood firm and told me that even though he did not have white hair then, He was sure he was the white haired man I was suppose to meet. He now has a full head of white hair And Yes, all my days are filled with love and laughter.
I thank you for putting me in the right direction.

Husband Has Marriage Annulled After Wife Thinks of Other MenNovember 13th, 2010 - 2:11 am ICT by Angela Kaye Mason
Nov 12 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A woman was denied alimony by Italy's highest appeals court after her husband was granted a marriage annulment based on the fact that she had thought about having affairs with another man.
The bride theorised that a marriage did not have to necessarily include being sexually faithful, but she had never brought her idea to fruition. She discussed this theory with her husband before the wedding actually took place, and there seemed to be no issues, since he went through with the wedding.
Later, however, when he decided that he no longer wished to be married to her, he petitioned the ecclesiastical court to annul the wedding, which would allow him to remarry in the church if he so chose. Catholics who divorce in Civil Court are never allowed to remarry in church; a fact that leads to thousands of annulment petitions per year.
But even the Cassation court supported the decision of the lower court. The wife appealed to the higher court, since the annulment would grant her no alimony, but her appeal was denied, and the annulment was rewarded.

WorldOne re-organizes, unifies around Sermo
Pharmaceutical market research major WorldOne is working on unifying into one company with two main product lines, and is also in the process of a re-brand.
"There's some brand confusion on WorldOne, WorldOne Interactive and Sermo and who sells what," Peter Kirk, CEO, told MM&M. "We have to simplify our story."
The re-organization has been underway since last year and is set to be completed later this year, at which time the company will announce a new identity. It's likely that the Interactive division will be absorbed, and that the new, simpler brand identity will include some combination of the WorldOne and Sermo brands.
Several executives were laid off last year, and the firm says headcount remains just north of 300, although there was a "net loss" of personnel in the traditional market research business, said Kirk, as the transformation involves unifying around its newer business.
The company's goal is to be the "global medical social network." To do that, "it's no secret that we will unify around Sermo," Kirk said. "That's where our future lies."
Its legacy data-collection agency, WorldOne, does over 3,500 research projects a year for pharma and has agreements with 53 pharmcos, which Kirk says gives it access to 1.8 million HCPs globally, while younger division Sermo, the professional social network acquired two years ago, had seen membership stagnate at around 130,000 doctors through 2012. But after a 50% increase in 2013, the firm says the knowledge-sharing service now has about 270,000 physician users (roughly one in three US physicians, Kirk said).
Before WorldOne bought it, Sermo had struggled to turn a profit, allowing competitors like Doximity room to grow. Last year the firm secured a $35-million pledge from Deerfield Management Company, ostensibly to expand Sermo globally.
"The member growth shows that our efforts and investments [in Sermo] are paying off," noted Osnat Benshoshan, WorldOne VP of marketing.
A quarter of members use Sermo on a regular basis, she noted, with 51% more members active today than a year ago.
Enhancements have included speeding up response time on Sermo's crowd-sourcing feature, called iConsult, designed to allow doctors to solve cases.
Over 50% of iConsult cases posted are reported as "Solved on Sermo," and over the past several months, the average solve time has declined from more than 100 hours to under 20 hours, WorldOne said in a statement.
While the company is still in the process of researching brand identity, in terms of the company structure, the Interactive business is not going away but is likely to take a back seat in the new branding to WorldOne and Sermo, with all three coming up under one umbrella and two product lines.
Those two product lines will consist of an engagement pillar housing social-media campaign packages (hubs, posts, brand pages and spotlights) and competitive education (including DocTango); and the second pillar—intelligence—housing quantitative market research, the MedLive "super-fast" research, and social research (still to be developed).
More products may yet be added to each pillar as the firm reevaluates its product portfolio, Benshoshan said.
"Our past as WordOne was as a market research company," said Kirk. "Our future, after we acquired Sermo and after getting into our engagement portfolio—which came of age with Interactive—is now coming together around the medical social network."

If you're a fan of hardcore, there probably isn't a better day of the year to dig through your music collection and pull out all of the best tracks of American discontent. You can dig up a few tracks by MDC, perhaps some Agnostic Front, or you can make things easy on yourself and just listen to My America by the Boston's F.U.'s. It's brilliant, full of critical thinking, and it's over in less than 16 minutes.
My America was released in 1983, a year after the equally good Kill For Christ LP*. Boston hardcore was so hot at this time, boasting the highly influential compilation This Is Boston, Not L.A. which featured The Proletariat, The Freeze, Jerry's Kids, Gang Green and The F.U.'s. Other important bands to come out of Boston around this time were SS Decontrol, Negative FX and DYS. I can't even imagine being able to see all of these bands play live in the early 1980s.
Sarcastic patriotic lyrics and a goofy cover of Grand Funk Railroad's "We're an American Band" caused scene police to label the F.U.'s as right wing nationalists, but those were just people not in on the joke. The Dead Milkmen referenced them shortly afterward in the song "Tiny Town." A year later the F.U.'s adopted a more metal sound and released another LP, but I'm not really familiar with it. I like my hardcore bands to sound like hardcore bands.
Happy 4th of July! America: like it or lump it!
*I use LP liberally, these 45 rpm 12" records tend to zoom right by.

TEMPE – All week, Jim Fassel downplayed the injury to center Brian Williams, but it appears Williams was more in tune with the severity of the injury than was Fassel. Williams was deactivated yesterday because of sprained ligaments in his right thumb, forcing seldom-used Derek Engler into the starting lineup.
It was a big loss for the Giants, who desperately wanted to establish a running game to support Kerry Collins, who made his first start at quarterback. Williams is a more accomplished run-blocker than Engler and the Giants got little going on the ground in their 14-3 loss to the Cardinals at Sun Devil Stadium.
Williams hurt his thumb last Sunday against the Eagles and tried snapping during practice with his left hand. He could not complete shotgun snaps, though, and maintained all along that his thumb had to get a lot better for him to play. Apparently, it did not.
Engler had not started since he was an emergency fill-in for the first five games of the 1997 season, when Williams was lost because of an eye injury that cost him two full seasons.
The long-awaited debut of RB Joe Montgomery finally took place yesterday, as the second-round pick from Ohio State was activated for the first time. This figured to be an opportune time for Montgomery to see his first action, for a variety of reasons. With Collins in at quarterback for the first time, Fassel wanted to run the ball as much as possible, and in the 95-degree heat, the Giants needed every available runner. Also, Gary Brown had some tightness in his calf this week, and insurance was needed in case he could not hold up in the heat. To make rook for Montgomery on the roster, CB Jeremy Lincoln was deactivated for the first time this season.
Of course, activating Montgomery is one thing, but getting the ball in his hands. Montgomery did not get a single rushing attempt, which makes one wonders why he was activated in the first place.
Kent Graham was listed as the No. 3 quarterback … Two starters did not play for the Cardinals: WR Rob Moore (hamstring) and DT Mark Smith (knee).
It did not take long for CB Jason Sehorn to gain the respect of opponents. The Eagles threw at him only three times last week and the Cardinals unquestionably made a point of throwing away from Sehorn and at Phillippi Sparks. Sehorn last week said "it makes it an easy game if they don't want to throw your way" and added he didn't care if teams never throw at him. Sparks, though, is supposed to be a top-notch cover corner, but he did not fare well against rookie WR David Boston, who had been struggling.

Review: ENB's Swan Lake at the Royal Albert Hall
Published 13 June 2010
Do you remember the smoke machines at school discos? Well I bet you never saw a strapping half-man half-bird with massive wings emerge from the middle of the smoke in your school hall! If not, this is just one of the visual treats to behold at the English National Ballet's production of Swan Lake, which was greeted by rapturous audience applause on opening night.
Derek Deane's production of Swan Lake, dubbed the world's most popular ballet after more than 125 years, is still showing at the Royal Albert Hall this month, and is not to be missed. This 'in-the-round' production sees the entire middle section of the Royal Albert Hall transformed into a large circular stage, so close to some audience members you'll feel tempted to run on and throw some shapes yourself. I wouldn't recommend it – although the impossible ease with which the dancers perform may have you thinking 'I could do that', the years of training and experience are visible in every movement.
The English National ballet's production of Swan Lake in-the-round was created in 1997 by the Company's former Director, Derek Deane, with the aim of creating more intimacy between the audience and performers, as well as drawing a wider audience. Its scale and magnificence has since wowed audiences in the UK, Australia and Hong Kong, and the production has been seen by an impressive 400,000 people. This defies the critic's initial reservations about the in-the-round style, who argued that classical ballet was supposed to be viewed from the 'front of the picture'. With this month's performance heralding Swan Lake's 6th season at the Royal Albert Hall, audiences' support for the lavish production has by far outweighed the most dubious critics.
Why not let yourself be the judge – Derek Deane's lavish production is a visual feast of jugglers, acrobats, and seemingly endless rows of 56 ballerinas as the swan maidens in white tutus – which is double the normal number. The circular stage is transformed into a stunning moonlit lake, with the help of intelligent lighting and dry ice machines, for a perfect backdrop to the romantic story.
The fantastic Principals include the English National Ballet's Russian born Vadim Muntagirov in the challenging role of Prince Siegfried, whose technical abilities include his fantastic jump and strong turns. This role is an impressive debut for the 20 year-old who only joined the English National Ballet from the Royal Ballet School last year.
Polina Semionova was replaced on opening night by The English National Ballet's Prima ballerina, Czech born Daria Klimentova, in the role of as Odette/ Odile, whose elegant, fluid and poetic performance reflected her refined technique and acting ability.
Hungarian Tamas Solymosi turns in a charismatic performance as the menacing magician Rothbart, whose stage presence and strength captivate the audience throughout.
The sweeping orchestra of the English National Ballet play Tchaikovsky's memorable score with magnificent power and dexterity, under Musical Director Gavin Sunderland, and you'll find yourself recognising several 'famous bits' including the 'dance of the little swans'.
This magnificent staging of Swan Lake is sure to inspire many more audiences and first-time visitors to classical ballet, and this appeal is an important part of the English National Ballet's policy: to attract and entertain as wide an audience as possible.
This production will have you swooning, gasping and applauding in delight as you are drawn into the ethereal world of Swan Lake, and may even have you dusting off your dance shoes!

The three colours include an orange-coral shade that is fabulous for boosting a natural glow or touch of tan, a peach-gold colour that combines a highlighting tone that catches the light, as well as a darker coral-pink shade for year-round wear. The pigments are incredibly strong, so you do need to apply a little at a time and build up the look until you're happy with the result; the key is to blend the colour into your base and keep buffing in a little at a time. All three blushers are silky smooth to the touch and don't leave a cakey feeling or result on the skin. I love not only the blushers themselves, but the super sleek and elegant pack they come in - especially as it even includes a mirror for touch-ups on the go; it's pretty incredible to see a high quality product for such an affordable price. This is definitely a great summer buy that you'll be reaching for until the leaves turn brown.
The Sleek Blush By 3 Trio in 'Lace' is available in Boots, Superdrug and online priced £9.99

My wireless mouse is malfunctioning, any way to fix it?
So I had a mouse, then bought another and lost that, then bought another and also lost that one. So now I've been stuck with the first one I bought for the last month, but it about 5 months old. It's just a cheap $20 - $25 wireless mouse.
It starting to malfunction finally. When I scroll down it will sometimes scroll (one scroll) back up and the same applies while scrolling up. Is there anyway I could fix this? I really don't want to buy another mouse and if I have to buy another mouse, it won't be for another 1 - 2 weeks. So any suggestions would be grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Let's begin at the very beginning: growing up as a female and learning what that's supposed to mean.
Some women may of course have been luckier than me but it seems likely that the way I learned about menstruation is similar to many women's experience.
I first heard the "p" word from friends as a great and terrifying secret. We shared our inaccurate knowledge, wondered when we would start, feared that we would be the first or worse still, be left behind.
At home I received a brief and embarrassed warning of the forthcoming bleeding and "this is where the pads are kept". End of story.
School gave a biology lesson on the subject. Just one: …lining of the womb….builds up…egg unfertilised….comes away. Draw the diagram. Now let's move on. Phew.
We had a single, girls only session in home ec. too: carry pads in your school bag but we have spares in the home ec. cupboard in case of emergency. A disappointment after the build up surrounding the exclusion of boys.
I think these were my only "live" sources of menstrual information. All brief 'let's get this out of the way' interactions and all exclusively focused on the bleeding, or more accurately, keeping the bleeding out of sight. No discussion or questioning was invited and no other part of the cycle was discussed.
The teen magazines we read chipped in then with more upbeat information but still presented in that 'we're modern and grown up and not embarrassed' style and still focusing exclusively on the bleeding.
The wider media, meanwhile, has continuously from then to now, presented me with a vast array of products, often "scientifically proven" to absorb vast quantities of euphemistically blue liquid, allowing me to smell like an air freshener while roller skating in tight white shorts "at any time of the month"
Women, fear not, they tell us. We understand about your shameful bleeding and we can fix you. Science is here. Science can help you cover up the stinking and blood stained creature you really are and make you actually acceptable in polite society "at any time of the month"
So. Messages received so far:
#1 Menstrual cycle = Sometimes bleeding, sometimes not
#2 Menstrual bleeding = inconvenient, fun stopping, shameful
#3 Strong, confident, modern women conquer menstruation with the help of science. They look and act the same at all times of the month.
So, on into the 1980's and 90's. Nothing much changes on the first three messages but we do get another part of the cycle thrown into the mix: the premenstrual stage. Suddenly our cycle had an extra downside: a time of the month when women turn stone crazy. They are dangerous with mad rage and can actually get away with murdering their parnters while under the influence of pre-menstrual madness. A staple of stand up comedy and tabloid media, pre-menstrual emotions have been caricatured to expand on our first message above:
#4 Menstrual cycle = sometimes bleeding, sometimes being psychotic/murderous, sometimes neither
So thankyou, home, school, media and business for your explanations about my body. It seems like a pretty bad thing. With this blanket negativity, a woman could easily be persuaded that it would be better to be rid of this inconvenience.
But folks, this is not the whole story. Not by a long chalk. In the next post I will tell what I have learned all by myself. Not from books, TV, friends or family but by simply living in my own body though 30 some years of almost totally uninterrupted menstrual cycling. It's a very different story.

James Franco: Ignore all the hype, I'm really a shy guy
Franco pleads innocence despite his social media over-exposure
NOTORIOUS Instagram addict James Franco has sensationally claimed he is too shy to date anyone.
The 127 Hours star caused a storm earlier this year when he tried to sweet-talk a 17-year-old Scottish girl into his hotel room over social media but is now insisting he's no sleaze.
'I've always been a little shy in meeting women. I've been getting better over the years at being able to speak more comfortably when I first meet someone,' the 36-year-old gabbled to a Loaded magazine.
'Obviously you have to be a little apprehensive on some occasions but usually, it's all very natural. I just wish I had more time.'
Turning his attention to the fact many ridicule him as pretentious for his acting, directing, and highly publicized art projects, Franco said he doesn't care what his critics think.
'I've tried to address the issue of celebrity culture in different ways and by doing that I open myself up to that kind of criticism,' he said.
'I have a sense of humor about how people perceive what I'm doing as strange. I love being able to mock myself. I'm willing to be judged on the basis of my work.'

Thermodynamics and Hydrodynamics of cavity light
à 11h, en salle C. BROT
Light is a fascinating phenomenon. It has been since the beginning of the XXth century described as a gas of non-interacting particles : photons. Confined between two mirrors in a cavity, photons acquire an effective mass and, due to imperfect mirrors a finite lifetime. Consequently this gas exchanges constantly with its environment through dissipation. Based on methods borrowed from both open quantum system and statistical physics, the thermodynamics of these exchanges can be resolved to reveal its true stochastic nature as I will present in a first part [1,2], paving the way to the definition of fluctuation theorem in quantum optics behind others. Moreover, from light-matter interaction, effective photon interactions can be engineered. In this context cavity light behave as a fluid and more surprisingly as a quantum fluid [3]. In a second part, I will explore this hydrodynamical analogy illustrating how the underlying driven-dissipative nature of quantum fluids of light modifies their properties as well as the topological excitations that may form in them [4].

Developmental Disability Nurse
Care for patients who are physically, mentally or emotionally handicapped.
What does a Developmental Disability Nurse do?
Nurses care for patients. A Developmental Disability Nurse specializes in caring for patients with physical or mental disabilities. The job may involve short-term care (such as that required following an injury) or long-term reliance (such as chronic physical disabilities).
As a Developmental Disability Nurse, you're part Physical Therapist, part Counselor, and part Personal Assistant. Your job varies depending on where you work.
While some Developmental Disability Nurse positions have you working with patients on an outpatient basis, others allow you to travel to each patient's home. Other job opportunities exist at nursing homes, senior centers, psychiatric units, rehabilitation centers, clinics, and hospitals. In fact, there are jobs all around the world if travel is your passion.
Regardless of where you perform your nursing duties, much of your job involves aiding the patient in the day-to-day functions of self-care. That can mean feeding, bathing, and dressing. It also means challenging the patient to improve their ability to care for themselves. It's a careful balance of gentle nudging, encouraging, and understanding, while using your nursing skills to avoid injury and aid in recovery.
As a Developmental Disability Nurse, you don't work alone. You're part of a medical and emotional support team that helps the patient get through each day. Strong communication skills help you relay medical information to Physical Therapists, Psychiatrists, and family members alike.

Vietnam rejects Google hacking accusation
Vietnam has rejected accusations by Internet giant Google that Vietnamese computer users have been spied on and political blogs hacked into.world Updated: Apr 05, 2010 17:25 IST
Vietnam has rejected accusations by Internet giant Google that Vietnamese computer users have been spied on and political blogs hacked into.
The US-based firm last week said infected machines had been used both to spy on their owners as well as to attack blogs containing messages of political dissent.
"These are groundless opinions," Nguyen Phuong Nga, spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
Vietnam has "specific regulations against computer viruses, harmful software and for ensuring information security and secrecy," she said in comments received over the weekend.
Google said the malicious software infected computers of users who downloaded Vietnamese language software, and possibly other legitimate software, that was altered to infect the machines.
Leading Internet security firm McAfee said perpetrators of the Vietnamese attacks "may have political motivations and may have some allegiance to the government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam".
Google announced last month it was redirecting mainland Chinese users to an uncensored site in Hong Kong, making good on an earlier pledge not to go along with the Communist Party government's censorship rules.
Its decision to defy Beijing was based on what it called concerns over censorship and cyberattacks it said originated from China.
Analysts, rights groups and diplomats say the human rights situation in Vietnam has been worsening.
The country's restrictions on news media and Internet sites such as Facebook threatened Vietnam's rapid economic progress, Western donors said in December.

You may have some questions about the coffee pods or how to use them. This is the place to answer all of your questions:
How do you make espresso with a coffee pod?
Choose your blend….traditionalists prefer some Robusta…we certainly like it this way!
Place your order! Monkey posts it to you, Open the box, Turn on your machine and allow it to reach temperature, Carefully tear open the pod pouch.
Place the pod snugly inside the stainless steel basket at the end of your espresso group handle
You may need a basket adaptor which we can supply…but broadly, the pod should sit neatly inside the basket, water should not be able to seep around the sides of the pod and the pod must be no more than c 5 mm from your shower head (where the water comes out)
Apply the group handle firmly and tightly to the machine…Select a suitable espresso cup – ideally warmed..Press 'go'… and watch the espresso pour…this first pour is called the 'mouse tail'…lighter at first …
If your machine does not automatically switch off after making each drink, then pour to the desired size, or for no more than 30 seconds…otherwise, you brew the harsher flavour characteristics which you don't really want
Remove the spent pod
Enjoy your drink or forth some milk – my preference espresso macchiato!
How long does a foil wrapped pod last?
The natural enemy of coffee is oxygen -That's what makes it go stale, uninspiring and musty in flavour. Your pod has been packed under a protective atmosphere, with nitrogen, to make sure it remains ready for peak performance, for up to 18 months, from the date of production
The pod is packed in an aluminium foil, with a shiny polyester top layer – the best barrier property material we know
The best before date is printed on the front of the pack and is shown, as for example, 'May 13', this means good before May 2013!
Keep your pods in their protective pack until you need to use them! And store them in a cool dry spot…away from strong odours and direct sunlight
Once unwrapped – use immediately…or certainly that day… the coffee will stale within a matter of a few days
Is the Coffee Pod Recyclable?
Yes? Compost it with your potato peelings and apple cores
I am not sure what Blend is right for me?
If you are an at home novice Barista…start off with our best blend… BOOST and work your way down the quality hierarchy we have created
BOOST is an exceptionally fine and authentic espresso – dark, powerful and with Robusta. We specify Robusta, because it helps the production of crema on top of your espresso
BOUNCE is perhaps a tad darker, but is 100% Arabica. If you want top 100% Arabica quality go for this one
BUZZ is a traditional espresso – dark and robust… if you have enjoyed an espresso on holiday, in the Mediterranean, this is the one for you
BUZZ LITE is according to Monster 'suitable for girls' not Cowboys…but I know boys who like it too! As dark as the others…but has a slightly lighter mouth feel and perhaps just a nudge more acidity…probably from the decaffeination process
Can't make your mind up? Then simples…chose MIXED UP and have a trial run… remember you are the expert and ultimately it is all a matter of personal taste
If you are a caterer, then I would recommend BUZZ… as good as anything else out there on the High Street…or for something special try BOOST…trust me, it is Grand Cru quality
What happens if I do not like the coffee?
Any feedback is also always appreciated, so we can keep Monkey on his toes in the factory…!
However unfortunately due to food safety standards we cannot accept opened or used products back for refund or exchange.
Do you supply the catering trade?
Yes, absolutely, happy to oblige! We will sell our hand crafted ESE pods to anyone!
The 100's packs are designed especially with you guys and girls in mind
Is your coffee ethically sourced, Fair Trade, Rain Forest Alliance or UTZ?
We can confirm that none of the Aromo range is a Fair Trade sourced coffee product
In fact none of our coffees are accredited by the big off the shelf accrediting bodies with their brands such as Fair Trade or Rain Forest Alliance or UTZ
All of our coffees, however, are 4C accredited– which means they adhere to the Common Code for Coffee Community
We do not use Fair Trade sourced beans because – for much of the last 3 years the market has traded at prices way above the Fair Trade Minimum Price. This is base threshold price which Fair Trade says is fair…..and so we can be assured that the farmers have received fair market value.
We also don't use Fair Trade beans because they are often of a poorer quality and less consistent, and because if larger corporates like Kraft / Nestle etc are getting into ethically and sustainably sourced coffee product then you know that the system must be broken somewhere!
Seriously though – we are just a small company and when demand shows us that there is an economic case to introduce an accredited coffee, then rest assured we will do so….. however, at this moment, all we are focussing on is building a following and a business base of happy espresso drinking customers.
Do you offer a subscription service?
We are looking into this at the moment.
How long does it take to get my espresso pods?
Order by 4 pm and the pods are despatched that night and so should be with you the following working day…let's keep Monkey busy!
What is espresso?
Espresso is a very concentrated coffee beverage, made by forcing a small amount (c 30 > 35 ml) of nearly boiling water (85 >90 degrees centigrade) under pressure (8 > 15 bar) through very finely ground coffee
Espresso is 'thicker' and has more mouth feel and body than coffee brewed by other methods. In terms of mouth feel, think full fat milk and skimmed….you know that 'watery' sensation…?
It also has more caffeine and a higher concentration of suspended and dissolved solids, as well as the all important crema, or tan coloured foam, which tops each espresso and captures the fabulous aromas in the liquor beneath
As a result of the pressurized brewing process, the flavours and chemicals in a typical espresso are very concentrated and often complex. Espresso is the base for other drinks, such as a latte, cappuccino, macchiato, mocha, and americano.
How do I make a Caffe Latte?
Make your espresso
Pour cool, half fat milk, into a stainless steel jug
Purge your steam wand…give it a spurt!
Point your steam wand at an angle of 45 degrees into the milk (about 2 > 5 cm under the surface of the milk depending upon the size of your jug)
You may need to adjust the angle you hold the jug at to achieve the correct 45 degree position! This will steam and heat the milk…
Keep your finger on the base of the jug to best judge temperature…when it gets warm / hot slowly withdraw the wand, to just below the surface of the milk and allow it to turn and swirl the milk, without spitting – this creates the froth
When the milk has frothed and creamed, turn off the steam arm, or wand, and gently tap and agitate the milk on your work top. Pour the milk into a 10 > 12 oz cup or mug and then gently pour your pre prepared espresso shot(s) into the milk…finally dust with what takes your fancy!

Too often when facing the question of homelessness we give wrong emphasis to the question, and so we're directed to wrong remedies.
The homeless fall into four broadly distinct categories: very poor families, substance abusers, deinstitutionalized mental patients, and runaways. The last two homeless groups, although significant social problems in themselves, do not represent, strictly speaking, a residential housing problem; they're homeless for reasons other than a general housing shortage.
Nonetheless, existing indices confirm the suspicion that even with runaways and the mentally ill excepted, the number of homeless poor and substance abusers has increased.[1] Unfortunately, the precise number of homeless people is mired in dispute. The most credible estimates belie the truth of the oft-cited figure of three million homeless, a figure snatched out of the air by self-styled homeless advocates.[2] A recent article in the National Journal reports more accurate estimates of the homeless population which range from a low of 254,000 to a high of 735,000.[3] Writing in The Public Interest, housing expert Tom Main comments that "[b]etter nose counts of the homeless...would not only clear the air of current inaccurate figures but would provide useful guides to policy."[4] One would think that Main expresses only the blandest of bland truisms in his sentiment -- who opposes better information, after all? -- but such is not the case in the hyper-charged political atmosphere that poisons reasonable discourse on homelessness. Many homeless advocates, most notably Mitch Snyder, believe that homeless folk numbering "only" in the several hundreds of thousands would not warrant our concerned attention. Such advocates habitually oppose attempts to get accurate counts of the homeless -- their opposition to the recent Census effort being only the most public attempt in a series of similar attempts. Be this as it may, the existing, albeit fragmentary evidence, confirms what our eyes tell us, that there are more homeless people populating our cities, streets, and shelters.
So what to do? Too often when facing the question of homelessness we give wrong emphasis to the question and so we're directed to wrong remedies or we give up, believing the problem intractable. The question with its usual spin asks: Why are there more people without housing? The question, slightly altered, better directs our attention to an oft-neglected factor: Why is there less housing for this segment of society?
The answer to this question, while not requiring the correction of wholesale "institutional violence" and "exploitation," as ritual declamation would have it, nevertheless does strike at the flabby belly of perks reserved by our local governments for America's prosperous majority. And our responsibility for the impact of these policies upon the poor and marginal cannot be discharged simply by thrusting a quarter into an anonymous, outstretched palm.
The recipe for state-generated homelessness? Mix sixty years of local zoning regulation with one part rent control; add a generous dash of wholesale mental hospital deinstitutionalization and a severe breakdown in family structures, especially among the poor -- and you have a dandy social tragedy. As noted above I treat only the residential aspect of the problem; I emphasize that my solution is no panacea for the entire problem. There is no magic policy elixir to remedy every illness, spiritual as well as physical, resulting in this social tragedy.[5] In years gone by, the poor could find inexpensive, permanent and livable housing. Less concerned with permanence, alcoholics and drug abusers desired only a flat in which to crash for the night -- but that could be had in any number of marginal, dirt cheap hotels. Returning to those days, Tom Main writes, requires "reforming [cities'] housing policies with an eye to increasing the availability of low-income housing"; policies like zoning and rent control are prime targets for reform.[6] Even a cursory examination of the dynamics created by zoning laws and rent control indicate their importance in the economic pathology of homelessness. Local zoning laws, initiated in the 1920s, quickly spread to all but a few cities, and effectively ended growth of housing affordable to the poor. Of course, the effects were not immediately visible. Zoning regulations do not change cities' existing housing and business patterns immediately upon institution. Rather, the laws alter housing and business patterns over decades as cities experience steady growth. Unintended consequences, thus, do not manifest themselves for many years.
Both residential and business zoning contribute to creating homelessness. Residential zoning affects the poor especially; commercial zoning regulation seems to affect substance abusers most heavily. In the late sixties, the National Commission on Urban Problems concluded that "the regulatory powers of local governments in [many cities] are being used to bar vast land areas to apartments, mobile home parks, and other dwellings that can meet minimum standards of health, safety and amenity..."[7] How does this occur?
Local zoning boards set minimum lot size requirements for new residential developments. These limit new housing construction to more expensive homes: No contractor, after all, would build a $5,000 house on a $100,000 lot; and if he did, there would be no one to buy it -- the poor couldn't afford the lot, and the prosperous wouldn't want the small house.
Additionally, boards impose "single-family" restrictions over entire developments, thereby stifling apartment construction as well as preventing two or more poor families from sharing the rental or purchase cost of one house. Economist and law professor Bernard Siegan found that these restrictions sharply increase apartments' real estate costs because they induce an artificial scarcity of land on which to build apartments.[8] Larger cities also ban affordable mobile homes from being located on vacant lots. Dartmouth economist William Fischel, summarizing the finding of a study of Houston, Texas, one of the few cities without zoning, writes that "[housing] cost is lower and [housing is] more plentiful for lower-income people than in comparable cities."[9] In all, Siegan concludes, zoning "appears to lower the price [of housing] for the rich and raise the price for the poor."[10] In addition to the burden of distorted housing markets placed upon the poor by the many U.S. communities with strict zoning control, cities with rent control (most significantly, New York City) further distort rental markets to the detriment of the poor. On the one hand, if newly constructed apartments are also rent-controlled, the controls render the facilities less profitable, and thus deter new construction and constrain supply relative to an unregulated market. On the other hand, if the new apartments are not rent-controlled, then older apartments -- those most likely to be affordable to the poor -- are torn down and replaced by expensive new apartments or condos. In either case the supply of affordable housing is more constrained relative to the demand than it would be without rent control.
At first glance, a constrained supply of low-priced rental units might not appear to burden the poor especially. But rent control, which prohibits allocating apartments through the price system, requires an alternative allocation mechanism -- "connections." Often only the more affluent have, or can purchase, the connections needed to find an apartment. The dynamic of the situation gradually and disproportionately squeezes the poor out of access to the given supply. A study of rent control in New York found that richer people displace poorer people in rent controlled housing at the rate of about 1 percent every year. (While this may not seem like much displacement at first glance, the percentages add up significantly over the span of, say, a decade or so.)
When we shift our focus from regulation of residential property to regulation of business property, we see local governments establishing a similar dynamic in the market for cheap hotel rooms. Zoning boards geographically limit businesses to certain districts -- thus putting a premium on the land in those areas. Cheap, marginal hotels have been torn down by the score in order to erect more profitable establishments on the land.[11] Without zoning regulation, many, if not most, of these hotels would have remained and served that niche of the market created by equally marginal persons -- drunks and addicts.
To be sure, a lot of people don't like drunks and addicts, but that's no reason to take away their market access to a roof and a mattress. What's more, if we, that is our communities, thought we would get rid of this group of people by tearing down cheap hotels, we were obviously wrong: they did not disappear with the shabby hotel. We see them every day; indeed, we step over them every day. The question is, shall they be with us on the street, or with us protected, at least, by a roof?
Over the years our communities, in effect, have prohibited the construction of new, cheap housing. Over the years we've built homes for only the middle class and those richer; we've left poorer folk to bid against each other for a dwindling supply of affordable housing. Many poor families balance on a very thin edge: rent swallows a substantial portion of the monthly check; any unexpected expense -- broken arm, temporary layoff -- is sufficient to push such families into overcrowded temporary shelters.[12] Sixty years of zoning laws have had their intended effect: our neighborhoods need not admit cheap housing; our business districts need not suffer run-down hotels. But to ban low-cost housing does not and cannot ban the people who need and use low-cost housing -- they are still with us, albeit without shelter and on the streets.
Here, also, we find the genesis of the need for public housing: Our communities passed laws that prevented construction of low-cost housing, yet the people who would have otherwise used that housing must live somewhere. In response to this need, the government constructed hundreds of thousands of units of housing since the sixties. Today, many projects are abandoned; many others are not decent places to live, but no options exist for their residents. Public housing is perhaps the most spectacular failure of Great Society programs.[13] We must remember, however, that it was affluent America's political demand for "nice" neighborhoods that caused the housing shortage for the poor; that caused their need for public housing. The lesson is true so often: unwise government intervention begets only more intervention. Zoning and rent control must end in order to provide a permanent solution to homelessness.
Deregulation, in this case, accomplishes an end that liberals think conservatives ignore, through means that conservatives think liberals ignore. (Not to worry, the common law nuisance tort, a free market mechanism, will still prevent the location of an unwanted garbage dump next door.) This solution equally challenges both sides to live by the principles they advance: Will we give up our state enforced privileges and let the poor back into our neighborhoods and again let substance abusers crash in a shabby hotel instead of the street?

[13] Incidentally, regarding the notion that cuts in federal housing dollars caused the increase in the homeless population, Ellickson, pp.54-55, observes: "According to computations by University of Virginia economist Edgar Olson, federal housing subsidies for low-income families went from $5.8 billion in fiscal 1980 to $13.8 billion in fiscal 1988. Adjusting for rent inflation, this represented a real spending increase of over 50 percent. Between 1980 and 1987...the stock of public-housing units increased from 1.2 million to 1.4 million, as projects that Carter's HUD had put into the system were completed....Thus from 1980 to 1987, the federal government came to provide housing aid to an additional 1.3 million low-income households -- more households than the entire public-housing program had assisted in 1980."

...Yu Darvish's next start will likely come on March 6th against the Yakult Swallows (exhibition game). It seems he has also received permission to leave the team to meet the new addition to his family. He told reporters on Friday that he really wants to see his wife.
...Sho Nataka arrived at a team dinner on Friday with his hair cut short. He also gave himself a nice pat on the back for managing to stay at Ichi-gun camp while learning how to play the outfield.
...Bob Keppel worked on making modifications to his delivery with pitching coach Takeshi Shimazaki and advanced scout Kazuteru Shimada on Friday. Seems he was tipping his off-speed pitches -- he would move his arms just a little when changing his grip on the ball.

Washington U. blazes with first title
Bears posted lowest national championship score since 2002
WINNECONNE, Wis. -- Washington-St. Louis raced to the program's first National Championship at the 2011 NCAA Division III Cross Country Championship held on Saturday.
"We had great team performances on both sides," Washington University head cross-country coach Jeff Stiles said. "Our athletes executed the race plan really well and ran with a great deal of confidence. It's fun to get on the awards stand and to win, but the most rewarding thing is to watch the athletes perform well and execute to the best of their abilities. Having your athletes go out and compete the way ours did is all you can ask for as a coach. We had a tremendous following of fans, parents and alums so it was a great atmosphere."
|Complete Championship Results
|Take a look here at the results from the 2011 NCAA championship.
