1 Deliver me, O Lord, from evildoers;
protect me from those who are violent,
2 who plan evil things in their minds
and stir up wars continually.
3 They make their tongue sharp as a snake's,
and under their lips is the venom of vipers.Selah
4 Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
protect me from the violent
who have planned my downfall.
5 The arrogant have hidden a trap for me,
and with cords they have spread a net,[a]
along the road they have set snares for me.Selah
6 I say to the Lord, "You are my God;
give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my supplications."
7 O Lord, my Lord, my strong deliverer,
you have covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;
do not further their evil plot.[b]Selah
9 Those who surround me lift up their heads;[c]
let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
10 Let burning coals fall on them!
Let them be flung into pits, no more to rise!
11 Do not let the slanderer be established in the land;
let evil speedily hunt down the violent!
12 I know that the Lord maintains the cause of the needy,
and executes justice for the poor.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name;
the upright shall live in your presence.
1 With my voice I cry to the Lord;
with my voice I make supplication to the Lord.
2 I pour out my complaint before him;
I tell my trouble before him.
3 When my spirit is faint,
you know my way.
In the path where I walk
they have hidden a trap for me.
4 Look on my right hand and see—
there is no one who takes notice of me;
no refuge remains to me;
no one cares for me.
5 I cry to you, O Lord;
I say, "You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living."
6 Give heed to my cry,
for I am brought very low.
Save me from my persecutors,
for they are too strong for me.
7 Bring me out of prison,
so that I may give thanks to your name.
The righteous will surround me,
for you will deal bountifully with me.
1 I call upon you, O Lord; come quickly to me;
give ear to my voice when I call to you.
2 Let my prayer be counted as incense before you,
and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice.
3 Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord;
keep watch over the door of my lips.
4 Do not turn my heart to any evil,
to busy myself with wicked deeds
in company with those who work iniquity;
do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5 Let the righteous strike me;
let the faithful correct me.
Never let the oil of the wicked anoint my head,[a]
for my prayer is continually[b] against their wicked deeds.
6 When they are given over to those who shall condemn them,
then they shall learn that my words were pleasant.
7 Like a rock that one breaks apart and shatters on the land,
so shall their bones be strewn at the mouth of Sheol.[c]
8 But my eyes are turned toward you, O God, my Lord;
in you I seek refuge; do not leave me defenseless.
9 Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me,
and from the snares of evildoers.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
while I alone escape.
1 Hear my prayer, O Lord;
give ear to my supplications in your faithfulness;
answer me in your righteousness.
2 Do not enter into judgment with your servant,
for no one living is righteous before you.
3 For the enemy has pursued me,
crushing my life to the ground,
making me sit in darkness like those long dead.
4 Therefore my spirit faints within me;
my heart within me is appalled.
5 I remember the days of old,
I think about all your deeds,
I meditate on the works of your hands.
6 I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.Selah
7 Answer me quickly, O Lord;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me,
or I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.
8 Let me hear of your steadfast love in the morning,
for in you I put my trust.
Teach me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
9 Save me, O Lord, from my enemies;
I have fled to you for refuge.[a]
10 Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
Let your good spirit lead me
on a level path.
11 For your name's sake, O Lord, preserve my life.
In your righteousness bring me out of trouble.
12 In your steadfast love cut off my enemies,
and destroy all my adversaries,
for I am your servant.
14 They lift up their voices, they sing for joy;
they shout from the west over the majesty of the Lord.
15 Therefore in the east give glory to the Lord;
in the coastlands of the sea glorify the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
16 From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise,
of glory to the Righteous One.
But I say, I pine away,
I pine away. Woe is me!
For the treacherous deal treacherously,
the treacherous deal very treacherously.
17 Terror, and the pit, and the snare
are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth!
18 Whoever flees at the sound of the terror
shall fall into the pit;
and whoever climbs out of the pit
shall be caught in the snare.
For the windows of heaven are opened,
and the foundations of the earth tremble.
19 The earth is utterly broken,
the earth is torn asunder,
the earth is violently shaken.
20 The earth staggers like a drunkard,
it sways like a hut;
its transgression lies heavy upon it,
and it falls, and will not rise again.
21 On that day the Lord will punish
the host of heaven in heaven,
and on earth the kings of the earth.
22 They will be gathered together
like prisoners in a pit;
they will be shut up in a prison,
and after many days they will be punished.
23 Then the moon will be abashed,
and the sun ashamed;
for the Lord of hosts will reign
on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
and before his elders he will manifest his glory.
13 Now who will harm you if you are eager to do what is good? 14 But even if you do suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear,[a] and do not be intimidated, 15 but in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; 16 yet do it with gentleness and reverence.[b] Keep your conscience clear, so that, when you are maligned, those who abuse you for your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame. 17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if suffering should be God's will, than to suffer for doing evil. 18 For Christ also suffered[c] for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you[d] to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, 19 in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison, 20 who in former times did not obey, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. 21 And baptism, which this prefigured, now saves you—not as a removal of dirt from the body, but as an appeal to God for[e] a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers made subject to him.
4 Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh,[f] arm yourselves also with the same intention (for whoever has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin), 2 so as to live for the rest of your earthly life[g] no longer by human desires but by the will of God. 3 You have already spent enough time in doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in licentiousness, passions, drunkenness, revels, carousing, and lawless idolatry. 4 They are surprised that you no longer join them in the same excesses of dissipation, and so they blaspheme.[h] 5 But they will have to give an accounting to him who stands ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For this is the reason the gospel was proclaimed even to the dead, so that, though they had been judged in the flesh as everyone is judged, they might live in the spirit as God does.
17 While Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and said to them on the way, 18 "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death; 19 then they will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified; and on the third day he will be raised."
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, and kneeling before him, she asked a favor of him. 21 And he said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Declare that these two sons of mine will sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom." 22 But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?"[a] They said to him, "We are able." 23 He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left, this is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
24 When the ten heard it, they were angry with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to him and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. 26 It will not be so among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave; 28 just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many."

The IPA Effectiveness Hall of Fame honours Richard Storey, Global Chief Strategy Officer of M&C Saatchi, for his contribution to effectiveness as a Convenor of Judges at the IPA Effectiveness Awards. Richard was Convenor in the 2007 awards, and subsequently edited the book of winning cases, "Advertising Works 16".Richard is also the author of several IPA Effectiveness Award-winning papers.
High: It's a cliché, but watching the results flow in for our "Be Clear on Cancer" activity. Always heartening not just to be effective, but to save lives.
Low: I once informed a very important American client I would be using PowerPoint at a big meeting in Dallas. I received confirmation the room would be ready and equipped.
Having jetted in with just a memory stick, I was shown into a room containing about 20 eager clients but no laptop or projector. Enquiring about using the PowerPoint, I was met with an enthusiastic 'sure', then pointed to the electricity socket on the wall, or as our American friends call it, the power point!
Robert Heath and specifically his thinking around low involvement processing. In my experience, we and our clients become most unstuck when we unwittingly assume the customer is even fractionally as interested in our brand and products as we are.
I came across a stat the other day that 91% of followers of brands on Facebook only follow said brand because they responded to an offer, competition or incentive of some kind.
We no longer treat the customer as stupid or passive, but informed and in control. In fact, if anything, our industry has lurched so strongly towards the consumer 2.0 agenda that we forget the reality so brilliantly presented to us by Robert Heath (see above).
Nevertheless, the influence is and will continue to be extremely positive on creative standards. Earning our customers' attention is a difficult but exciting game to be playing.
Richard Storey learned his trade at the "home of planning" - BMP DDB London. He subsequently joined the then start-up, M&C Saatchi, leading its "brutal simplicity" approach to strategy.
Richard has won IPA Effectiveness awards for clients including British Airways, The Police and Scottish Amicable. Equally passionate about creativity as effectiveness, Richard has also won a number of APG Creative Planning awards.

Les Démocrates ont finalement condamné MoveOn, et se sont mis leur base à dos :
Resolution Condemning MoveOn.org Passes, Kos Kidz Seething
Thu, Sep 20, 2007 at 10:28:43 am PDT
President Bush ripped the Democrats today over their disgraceful failure to denounce the anti-Petraeus MoveOn.org advertisement.
Meanwhile, the Senate just passed the resolution condemning MoveOn.org, and the Kos Kidz are boiling with rage: Daily Kos: Do the Democrats even know who votes for them anymore?
The Democrats just passed a Republican resolution condemning the MoveOn ad that called General Petraeus a biased figurehead 72-25.
Do the Democrats even know who votes for them anymore? Don't they understand that if they continue to piss off the die-hard Democrats, the MoveOn Democrats, they are going to continue to lose elections?
The Republicans have won for 20 years by rallying and paying off their base. The Democrats absolutely refuse to do the same. Small wonder they haven't won big in a while.
I'm a MoveOn Democrat. I approved that message. And it's becoming clear that the Democrats in Congress don't speak for me. Let the primary challenges roll.

The question, however, is KDFW, Channel 4. Fox says it will deny Time Warner Cable subscribers access to Channel 4 along with all the other Fox channels. If Fox has its way, that means no telecast of the Sunday Cowboys-Eagles game to cable subscribers. Unlike most, that doesn't bother me. What does bother me is the possibility of not seeing two of the only three college bowl games that interest me this year -- the Sugar Bowl (Florida vs. Cincinnati) and the Fiesta Bowl (TCU vs. Boise State) -- both of which are to be carried by Fox. (Fortunately the Texas-Alabama title game is on ABC.)
Time Warner Cable is arguing that a federal rule mandating that cable companies "must carry" all local stations to its subscribers means that Fox can't include KDFW. Fox, however, says a loophole in its contract with Time Warner supersedes the "must carry" rule and it can and will pull the plug on Channel 4.
I may be overly optimistic, but something tells me the rabbit will be pulled before the plug is.

Obama's Second Inauguration: Big Money but No Big Lines
There were no memorable lines in President Obama's second inaugural address. Certainly nothing like Franklin Roosevelt's "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself," which was in his first inaugural, or like John F. Kennedy's "Ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country."
But there was plenty he said that was troubling.
The problem mostly wasn't what he said. It was how he said it, and what he left unsaid.
Take climate change.
The president acknowledged the problem, saying: "We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations."
So far so good, but then he didn't talk about any serious steps to do that, such as shutting down coal-fired generating plants and putting a stop to plans to import dirty, massively polluting and inefficient oil from Canadian and US tar-sands deposits. Instead he focussed on economic opportunities to be had if the US would start investing seriously in new energy technology. He did not take this unique opportunity to tell Americans honestly what the risks of inaction are: The extinction of half the species on the earth, including primary food sources that keep billions of us alive, and the risk of runaway warming that could raise the oceans by 16 to 60 feet. Instead he focussed parochially on storms and droughts and forest fires getting worse. This was a wasted leadership moment if there ever was one.
When JFK made his one inaugural address, the Cold War was at its height. He didn't fudge the moment, and instead let Americans and the world know the gravity of the threat of mutual global nuclear annihilation by describing the situation thusly as "both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war."
President Obama had the chance to lay the current even worse crisis out with equal clarity. He blew it, instead portraying the climate change crisis as simply an opportunity for the US to gain or lose the leadership in a new technological marketplace.
On education, he also narrowly focussed on schools as job training centers, instead of as transmitters of culture, saying: "...a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce; schools and colleges to train our workers."
What about training our artists, dancers, poets, historians, writers, musicians and philosophers? Today, in school district after school district, art and music teachers, librarians and others are being laid off by financially struggling school districts. Where is the president's leadership in trying to preserve real education in America?

For the celiac disease community, the greatest gift of all this season is to assure full recognition of celiac disease by the medical community with rapid diagnosis and treatment for the 2.5 million Americans still undiagnosed. CDF provides hope and help to people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity and their loved ones.
Adrienne Bender: After a difficult pregnancy, here he was, our four pound six ounce first born. Despite being five weeks early and small, he was…perfect. By his third year, Alex was still small and wasn't putting on weight, so our pediatrician, Dr. William Giasi, suggested a blood test for Celiac Disease and an appointment with a gastroenterologist through the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. How could a child who always ate pasta and pizza have Celiac Disease and us, as parents, be so oblivious to it? Read more.
Alex Morris: In many ways, Alex is a typical 12 year old girl. A 7th grader from a Chicago Suburb, Alex is an avid long distance runner who takes ballet class, plays defense on her soccer team and goes for long walks with her dog, Hermosa.

Chad Hines: My story begins at a time when information about celiac disease and eating gluten-free wasn't at your fingertips time when you couldn't ask Siri, "what's celiac?" or "how to eat gluten-free" and get the answer read to you in your car, while your phone is also providing you with live traffic and weather updates.Whether you found Celiac Disease Foundation due to yourself, a loved one, friend or colleague being diagnosed, I understand what you've been going through.

Taylor Grothe: The experience of health in my family is somewhat of a dichotomous one. I was, ostensibly, born healthy, to relatively healthy parents. My brother, two years my junior, was born with eczema and acne, was colicky, and had allergies and asthma that sent him to the hospital many times in his youth. To everyone's great delight, he always emerged unscathed and life moved forward. Read more.

Become a Green Ape Today
Posted in Movements by Kate Archdeacon on April 10th, 2013
Sustainable Cities Net's mothership, the Victorian Eco-Innovation Lab (VEIL) has become a Green Apes Jungle Guardian (!!!) and so we're doing a shout-out to our networks to let you know that the Green Apes app is now available online.
What's a Green Ape and why would you want the app?
From the website:
Build & share your green profile and kick some jungle butt!
- get points for everyday sustainable actions
- track your progress
- compete and collaborate with friends
- find answers, inspire and be inspired
Book your tree in the jungle! join the ultimate sustainable community
We (VEIL) are pretty interested in behaviour change tools that are appealing, fun, or just not mind-numbingly terrifying. A quick look at the YouTube video and the website indicates that this app might be quite fun to use, although it's pretty new (version 1.1) and may have a few issues. It also requires a facebook log-in. What will be really interesting is what happens if/when it reaches a large audience of users and glitches get ironed out. Unexpected (and hopefully awesome) results should follow.

Cash In On What's Hiding In
Your Closet
Used Clothing Donations
It's a typical scene: you've cleaned out a closet or your garage and have a box full of items you no longer want. You'd rather donate your used clothing to charity than send it to the landfill.
When you itemize, you know you can deduct the value of the items you donate to charity on your tax return. If you overstate the value, you risk an audit, penalties and interest. If you under-estimate, you pay more taxes than you should. So, how on earth do you determine the value or your used clothing donations?
Certified Donation Valuations
"MONEY – For Your Used Clothing" provides the taxpayer with certified valuations for over 1,200 clothing and household items commonly donated to charity – and all in accordance with the New IRS guidelines. If you itemize your deductions on your annual income tax return, you will save hundreds of dollars by using this book! This book explains six simple steps for documenting donations and tells how to receive a tax windfall without waiting to file a tax return.
Start Saving NOW!
Most people have no idea what their donations are worth. You know you can deduct the value of charitable items on your tax return when you itemize, but how on earth do you determine the value? If you overstate the value, you risk an audit, penalties and interest. If you underestimate, you pay more taxes than you should. Valuing donations is difficult because the law does not allow the charities to set values. In fact, donors are responsible for obtaining the current fair market value of their donated items as specified in the IRS guidelines.
It's quick, easy, & guaranteed!
What This Booklet Can Do For You!
- Saves you hundreds of dollars on your income taxes by using certified used clothing values.
- Follows the new IRS guidelines for assigning values to clothing and household items you donate to charity.
- Helps you avoid interest and penalties associated with overstating the value of donations.
- Offers one convenient place to record information regarding your cash and non-cash donations to charity during the year.
- Benefits charities by encouraging people to donate.
Many of the "helpful" books advertised are garbage. This booklet was truly an exception. It provides a very thorough, organized vehicle to summarize deductions
I was kicking myself to learn how low my guesses had been in years past! How much more money I could have saved if I had the booklet back then!
As a CPA, I have been looking for a resource for non-cash charitable contributions. Now I have one! I saved myself and my clients in excess of $5,000. Thanks!

Chicago took its first facts-on-the-ground step toward hosting a 2016 Olympics Wednesday by awarding the major contracts for demolition of the closed Michael Reese Hospital campus, the proposed site of an athletes' village.
Brandenburg Industrial Service Co. was awarded a contract worth $7.98 million and Heneghan Wrecking Co. won a contract worth $3.19 million.
The companies will be responsible for tearing down the lion's share of the buildings on the site.
"This site has to be developed one way or the other--it's a wonderful site for market-rate and affordable housing, and we're moving ahead," Mayor Richard Daley told the Tribune after the contracts were awarded.

North Sikkim Travelogue Part 2
For 2 ½ hours we were enchanted by the beauty of India's 2nd highest lake, Gurudongmar, but we finally had to make a move for the equally beautiful grazing pasture called Yumthang Valley, in North Sikkim. After a short stop for lunch, I and my friend Prasenjit reached the little town of Lachung, where we would rest for the night. Our tour operator had set us up in a top floor room and we had a beautiful view of the mountains from our window, and since I can never sleep peacefully in a new place, I woke up obscenely early, and managed once again, to get that "sunrise in the mountains" shot, that so fascinates tourists.
|Sunrise at Lachung
At a height of 9600 feet (3000 metres), Lachung was once a busy trading post. All that changed in 1950, when the Chinese annexed Tibet. The border was sealed, the trade dried up, and the town shut down. Things have started looking up now with the arrival of tourists between October and May every year. The main attractions are the Lachung Monastery and the Rhododendron Valley Trek, which starts from Yumthang Valley and ends in Lachen Valley. The "most picturesque village in Sikkim" (according to Joseph Dalton Hooker) does however have a small problem; the availability of snacks. We wanted some pakoras to go with our drink in the evening, and the hotel kitchen couldn't manage since they were in the middle of preparing for dinner. So we decided to walk around, and find a shop, but alas! No potato chips or chanachur anywhere to be found! Entirely understandable of course, this being the mountains, every little thing has to be hauled up at great expense. Thankfully the one thing easily available everywhere was Wai Wai noodles. This particular brand of instant noodles can be eaten dry, as a snack, and we found it went rather well with rum and coke. Dinner was Indian; nothing out of the ordinary but hot and delicious. I woke up early next morning like I said, and after some sunrise photography, and breakfast, we were off to Yumthang Valley.
|A Buddhist Stupa in Yumthang Valley
Since we were only at around 11,800 feet (3,564 metres), the road to Yumthang was nowhere near as desolate as that to Gurudongmar. We saw some beautiful sights on the way. But everything paled in comparison to the valley itself. With huge, rugged, snow-capped mountains on both sides, a massive snow-capped peak in the distance, a stream running through a green pasture and one single road, like a black ribbon through the middle of it all, Yumthang was the very definition of paradise. Right in the middle of it, was a small Buddhist Stupa, and there were yaks, actual live yaks grazing. Me and Prasenjit had never seen yaks in real life, we had only read about them in books, and at the sight, both of us simultaneously let out, "Dude! What the Yak"!
|A Yak grazing in Yumthang Valley
But then, I was hit with a question. What does one do in a place like this? I eventually decided, walking around would be the best thing, and I was glad that I did. Yumthang is a Rhododendron sanctuary, and we had heard that parts of the valley turn entirely red with the flowers. But to be honest, we were a little underwhelmed. We did see Rhododendrons, but not as many as we would have liked, and the strong sunlight had made them wilt a little bit. But how often does one get to see Rhododendrons in the city anyway? We also noticed one tiny little flower growing all over the place, which was making parts of the valley look a cute shade of purple. When I say tiny, I do mean tiny, like the nail on my little finger. These, we later identified as Primula Denticulata. There were also yellow buttercups of some sort, and a reddish brown plant, with tiny waxy leaves, growing among the grass. The last plant, I have as yet been unable to identify. Have a look at the photographs, and let me know if you have better luck.
|Flowers of Yumthang Valley
Yumthang is definitely much easier to visit and explore, than Gurudongmar. Even if you are old, or a little unfit, and decide not to trek to the Valley, you can take a car like we did, and walk around in the valley. If you're planning to take pictures of the flowers, bring along a decent macro lens, and for the really small flowers, lie down in the grass. For Canon shooters with crop sensor cameras, the new EF 40mm is an affordable and very decent lens. Just be careful not to land in petrified (or fresh) Yak dung. I almost did a few times! Tourists generally proceed from Yumthang to Zero Point. Zero Point lies at the end of the road that cuts through Yumthang Valley, and is quite literally the last outpost of civilisation. It is covered in snow round the year, and that is the main attraction. There isn't much to do there but take in the sights. We decided to skip Zero Point, and asked our dashing and handsome chauffeur, Wangchuk Lepcha to take us back to Lachung for lunch.

Our next destination was to be Dzongu, the holy land of the Lepchas.

On 22 December 2011, a loss to Católica ended Universidad de Chile's unbeaten streak at 36. But they consoled themselves with their second of three straight league titles.
UDC, who won the 2011 Apertura Final over Católica the previous June, last lost on 13 July, falling 0-2 to Magallanes in the Copa de Chile. Afterward, they went on a tremendous run that included the Copa Sudamerica, which they won over LDU Quito on 14 December to extend their unbeaten run to 35 games in all competitions, bettering their 33-game streak from 1999. For their 36th game, they beat Católica 1-2 in the first leg of the 2011 Clausura semi-finals on 18 December, then hosted Católica for the second leg four days later.
After conceding a 42nd-minute goal to Católica's Kevin Harbottle, UDC drew level with a strike from Osvaldo González in the 59th minute. The game remained 1-1 until stoppage time, when José Luis Villanueva scored for the visitors to set the final margin as a 1-2 win for Católica.
Although the goal put the two teams levels on points and goal differential, UDC still advanced by virtue of having finished higher than Católica in the classification phase. They went on to defend their title successfully, beating Cobreloa in the final, then defended it again in the 2012 Apertura.

TurboCat Zoom Air-Driven Power Brush in Platinum or Sapphire. By Vacuflo.
The single solution for traditional and high density soft carpets!
Power nozzles on traditional carpets permit the air to flow under the agitator, traveling up and back carrying the dirt into the air stream. The new high density soft carpets prevent the air to enter through this traditional means. The challenge was to develop a solution which adjusts to meet carpet conditions while still keeping the air stream entering under the agitator for an effective clean. Other systems vent, but much of the air is wasted traveling over the agitator not under where it is most effective in carrying away dirt.
Should the nozzle begin to seal to the carpet, the Response™ II CT-25 allows a self adjusting air relief entering through vents in the hood of the nozzle. This channels air uniformly down and across the front face of the nozzle and delivers the air under the agitator as with traditional power nozzles.
The result is no wasted air flow, effective cleaning, and a self regulating system that works as well on traditional carpets as it does on the new high density ultra soft carpets. The Response™ II is an innovative solution to a challenging problem.
Soft Carpet
Consumers are showing a strong preference for the new high density soft carpets which pose a unique problem for many high performance vacuums and power nozzles. Not only have the high density soft carpets been difficult to clean, the consumer has often found they can't push the vacuum across the surface.
Self Regulation
Cen-Tec Systems is pleased to introduce the new Response™ II CT-25 power nozzle, which combines features typical of premium power nozzles with a unique self regulating air by pass system which automatically adjusts air flow to floor conditions permitting a true deep clean in a system designed to move freely over even the highest density soft carpets.
Part of a Complete Solution
Many contemporary or remodeled homes have both wall to wall carpeted areas as well as mixed floor environments of hard wood, tile, stone, overlaid with premium wool area rugs. Combine the Response™ II CT-25 with the equally innovative Response™ CT-10 and deliver a complete cleaning solution guaranteed to satisfy.
- The Response™ II CT-25 delivers the premium features demanded by discriminating consumers.
- Includes the Quiet Drive poly V belt for long life, which is positioned away from the end of the agitator, providing true edge cleaning to both sides of the nozzle. Trouble free tilt and roll over molded wheels positioned inside the agitator for excellent surface grooming.
- A four position height adjustment is ideal for use on both traditional or high density soft carpets.
- Control of the wand release and height adjustment is located to eliminate the need to raise ones foot from the floor to control the feature.
- A double swivel neck for improved maneuverability.
- A soft wrap around bumper protects furnishings and base boards from unwanted marks.
- Headlight, quick wand release, a low profile, and high styling speak to the quality of the Response™ II CT-25.
This Full Cleaning Set Includes:
- The Response™ II CT-25 Power Head and Wand
- Hose in the length and connection type you choose.
- Hose Hanger
- Accessory Wand
- Floor Tool
- Dusting Brush
- Crevice Tool
- Upholstery Brush
- Onboard Accessory Holder

A tropical wave moving toward the Yucatan Peninsula through early this week will be monitored for possible development. The focus will shift to the southern Gulf of Mexico by midweek.
The tropical wave will be responsible for torrential rainfall from northern Nicaragua to northern Honduras through early Monday. Tropical downpours can easily produce several inches of rain in a short amount of time. The rainfall can lead to flash flooding and mudslides in the region.
Interaction with land is expected to inhibit development through early Monday before it reaches the Yucatan. Though plenty of warm water is available to the system to encourage organization.
Heavy rain will shift into the Yucatan Peninsula Monday unleashing torrential downpours across Belize, Guatemala, and southern Mexico. Locally heavy rain will persist across these areas through at least Tuesday.
The tropical wave will settle into the southern Gulf of Mexico Tuesday into Wednesday. The wave will usher in a plume of high tropical moisture in the southern Gulf of Mexico which will heighten the potential for tropical development.
"There is a slight chance the system can reorganize over the southern Bay of Campeche," AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Dave Samuhel said. "However, increasing wind shear, an inhibitor to tropical development, and its proximity to land will limit its chances for development."
Beyond Wednesday, any tropical rains should move west into Mexico.
"No impacts are expected to be felt in the U.S. from this feature," Samuhel said.

Real estate developers establish homeowners associations as corporations for the purpose of marketing, managing, and selling homes and lots in a residential subdivision. HOAs grant the developer privileged voting rights in governing the association. Usually, the developer transfers ownership of the association to the homeowners after selling a predetermined number of lots. Generally home buyers within the purview of a homeowners association must become members, and must obey the restrictions set forth by the association. Most homeowner associations are incorporated, and are subject to state statutes that govern non-profit corporations and homeowner associations. State oversight of homeowner associations is minimal, and it varies from state to state.

In New York City, pedestrians hit by motor vehicles; cars, trucks, or buses are likely to suffer serious injuries and result in tragic consequences. Since 2000, pedestrian motor vehicle related accidents have killed more than 2,291 pedestrians in NYC.
A woman was fatally struck by an SUV taxi in Midtown, Saturday afternoon, near Madison Avenue. According to NY Daily News, Amelia Sterental, a 76 year-old tourist from Florida was crossing East 60th Street when a taxi making a left turned slammed into her hurling her body over the taxi. Frank Semmel, a retired New Jersey policeman stated, ""It smashed her and she went airborne and went over the back (of the car),"
Paramedics administered CPR and Sterental was rushed to New York Presbyterian Hospital, but due to the extent of her injuries, doctors were unable to save her and she passed away 45 minutes after the crash. Sterental, a Miami resident, was visiting the city with family at the time of the accident.
The unidentified driver, who has been licensed since about 1989, remained at the scene to speak with police. His taxi license has been suspended pending a police investigation. Witnesses state he was very distraught over the incident.
The three female passengers in the cab quickly left the scene and found alternate transportation, declining to be interviewed.
In 2014, there were 144 deaths pertaining to pedestrians being struck by vehicles. According to NYPD statistics, so far, 32 pedestrians have died in traffic accidents this year.

I hope you guys have been doing great and Happy New year in arrears.
You've got New Year resolutions right? Some of us don't even believe in that sort of thing but if you do and you've got a list, I want you to add something to it. Exercise.
That is if you don't already do it.
Some of us take exercising very seriously. Working out at the gym, going for road walks, jogging……
While some of us don't even move our feet except when absolutely necessary. Exercising regularly not only keeps you fit but also keeps your body systems in optimum condition.
Now, I am not telling you to hit the gym and start lifting weights and working the AB King Pro. You may not have the time, patience or even the energy level. But you can manage to do a 10 minute work out everyday. Get a small exercise gadget like the 'rowing exerciser' (the one with a spring) or you can just jog round your house.
Just a little a day girls and its all good.
This is to a healthy and happy 2010 for all of us. Cheers!
Lily Johnson

Starting September 1 — a new auction system and ranking on search, and automatic bid optimization on content sites
From September 1, Yandex.Direct will switch over to a new auction system and ranking on search. With this release, advertisers can get the maximum amount of clicks at an optimal price for any position in an ad block, and the highest-quality ads will have a better chance at reaching the highest placement positions.
What's changing in bid management
Click price. More information is appearing in the Yandex.Direct inferface to help you conveniently manage the positions of your ads on search: recommended bids for 2nd place premium placement, and a new column called "Click price". So now, when setting bids, you will immediately see not only the bids required to win the desired positions, but also overall how much the CPC will be in these positions.
In Direct Commander and the API, bids will be shown for all positions in the premium placement and guaranteed placement ad blocks, as well as the click price for these positions.
Automatic bid optimization on content sites. Yandex.Direct has added a useful option for advertisers who don't select special impression settings on content sites and manage bids manually. Under these settings, the system will now withhold the average CPC amount for content ads, which is not higher than the average CPC on search. This ensures against overspending on content sites by advertisers who have not yet set up independent management of search and content sites.
This option will appear in Yandex.Direct's interface and API, and will appear in Direct Commander at the beginning of September. When necessary, automatic bid optimization on content sites can be disabled at any moment.
You can read the answers to frequently asked questions about the changes.
Yandex.Direct will keep you up to date with news and advice on ad placement. If you have any questions, please get in touch with the support service, or contact your manager at Yandex.

Arkansas National Guardsman Spc. Ryan L. Montgomery earned the national title Wednesday of the Army National Guard's "Soldier of the Year", after a grueling three-day competition held at Camp Robinson.
This marks the third year in a row an Arkansan has won the competition.
The Hensley native competed against the best of nearly 350,000 Army National Guardsmen nationwide. The physical and mental stamina of the competitors was tested through sleep deprivation and in multiple events including marksmanship, land navigation, physical fitness and combat scenarios.
"We couldn't be prouder," said Command Sgt. Maj. Steven C. Veazey, Command Sergeant Major for the Arkansas Army National Guard, "After three years in a row, this highlights the quality of Citizen-Soldier we have right here in Arkansas; we have the best of the best."
Montgomery, an infantryman from Company D, 2nd Battalion, 153rd Infantry Regiment, 39th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, will now move on to represent the Army National Guard in the Department of the Army Best Warrior Competition, to be held at Fort Lee, Virginia in October. The Army Best Warrior Competition will bring together Soldiers that represent over 1 million members of the U.S. Army worldwide.
"While I am thankful, I am humbled by this victory," said Montgomery, "I have some big shoes to fill of those who have earned this title before me. They definitely prove what it means to not only be a Soldier, but an Arkansan."
The Arkansas National Guard has set a mark that no other state has obtained by having a Soldier take top honors for the third straight year.
In 2012 Ozark native Sgt. Matthew S. Howard earned the "Non-Commissioned Officer
of the Year" title during the Army National Guard Best Warrior Competition held at Fort Benning, Georgia. In 2013 Sherwood native Sgt. Piero J. Lopez earned the "Soldier of the Year" title during the Army National Guard Best Warrior Competition held at Camp Robinson.

Poker romances aren't exactly uncommon, and sometimes couples find themselves seated at the same table in a tournament. Far less common, however, is for both members of such a couple to make it through to a final table, let alone eliminate all their opponents at that table and find themselves heads up for the win. And yet, that's exactly what happened yesterday at the PokerStars-sponsored Eureka Season 6 main event at King's Casino Rozvadov, when Ivan Luca faced and eventually defeated his girlfriend, Maria Lampropoulos, for the title and €106,186.
Luca, a young professional player from Argentina, spent his early years of play on the Latin American circuit, but began playing European events towards the end of 2014. He first caught my attention, and likely that of many fans, last summer, when he won his first World Series of Poker gold bracelet, in Event #30, $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em. 2015 was a good year for him in general, and he appears to love playing poker as much as he loves winning, having continued to play smaller side events even as he adds more main events and even high rollers to his buy-ins.
Lampropoulos, for her part, has not yet had the same sort of breakout success as Luca, though her bankroll has presumably benefitted hugely from yesterday's second place finish, which at €95,404 (USD $103,907) is her biggest cash to date. She likewise appears to have big ambitions; prior to this year, her only cashes on record have been in side events, but last month, she managed cashes in both an EPT and a WPT National event, the latter of which also ended in a runner-up finish and a tidy €68,200 (USD $75,067) score. So, while you couldn't quite call them a power couple yet, they well be one in the making.
The possibility of the two facing off at the end was already looking quite likely by the time they made the final table; Luca came into the final 8 with a commanding chip lead, while Lampropoulos was in third. Half of their opponents fell within the first seven hands, and one more an hour later, leaving only three: the happy couple, plus Slovakian player David Urban. Despite having the chip lead at that point and playing well, Urban found himself whittled down and eventually out in third.
Sour grapes or legitimate concerns?
Fellow prodigy Fedor Holz was quick to congratulate the two on Twitter, but not everyone was equally happy for them. Many were grumbling both on Twitter and on the live stream of the event that Luca seemed to be soft-playing Lampropoulos once they only had Urban left to get through. There was even an accusation of outright cheating posted to TwoPlusTwo, although that was far from credible and the thread has since been deleted.
Soft play is essentially a mild, possibly unintentional form of collusion. It's a bigger deal in tournaments than in cash games, especially towards the bubble or deep in the money, as in these situations, chips can be worth more to one player than another, and simply surviving can earn a player money. Whether the players in question are swapping action, or simply would like to see each other do well because of their personal relationship, a player may feel less incentivized to win chips from a friend than from other opponents, and make adjustments to his or her play, whether consciously or not.
Unfortunately, soft play is both a real and probably a common problem, but also extremely difficult to prove. In cases like this, it's also hard to separate from the sexism in poker debate, as it's a charge most often laid against men when a woman is at the table, particularly if the woman is attractive or seems flirty, never mind actually dating the man in question. Thus, while it's entirely possible that someone of any gender and sexual orientation could end up going easy on someone they're attracted to, I always find that there's a whiff of the tired old cliché about women using sex to manipulate men present in these accusations.
Do couples actually play harder against each other?
Ironically, some of those defending Luca have argued not that he wouldn't adjust his play at all, but rather that couples actually do tend to play differently against one another, just more, rather than less aggressively.
There's probably some truth to this argument. After all, it's usually the case that teachers whose own children end up assigned to their class often end up being stricter with them than the other students. In large part, this is probably a matter of overcompensation brought about by the belief that others will assume they're going to play favorites, and an attempt to nip that perception in the bud. Given that players who are known to be in a relationship are likely to be scrutinized for possible soft play, it seems reasonable that one might see a similar effect at work.
It's also common for there to be a certain element of competitiveness in a romantic relationship. As an avid board game player who has routinely recruited various partners into the hobby over the years, I can vouch for this. It's also interesting to note that Liv Boeree, in drafting her boyfriend Igor Kurganov for her team in the Global Poker League, mentioned that her biggest reason for doing so is that he is a particularly dangerous opponent for her because he knows her so well, and thus wanted to make sure he didn't end up on any opposing team.
Of course, money is less of a factor in all of these examples than it was for Luca and Lampropoulos yesterday. There are obvious advantages to seeing one's romantic partner win large sums of money and it also seems fairly likely that the two would have had some kind of action swap, or that Luca, with his bigger bankroll, may have bought a big piece of her action. Thus, it's also not unreasonable to think that financial incentives might have trumped relationship rivalry in this case.
Okay, but does it look like soft play?
Since this situation occurs so infrequently, and there are reasonable arguments to be made either way on the issue of whether a couple would be likely to soft play one another towards the end of a final table, the only thing to do is look at the actual play and ask whether it looks like soft play.
Unfortunately, the Eureka tour is less popular and therefore less well-covered than the European Poker Tour, so the written account of final table play only includes significant pots, rather than the details of every hand played. For that reason, I can't do any meaningful statistical analysis. However, reading through the account, it is striking that in every hand that was meaningful enough to be covered, almost all of the postflop action during three-handed play took place between Urban and either Luca or Lampropoulos, rather than between the two members of the couple. There is one exception, in the form of a hand that went three ways to the river, but even then, Lampropoulos folded to a bet and a raise, and only Luca went to showdown with Urban.
Indeed, the only mention of Luca and Lampropoulos mixing it up at all is a hand late in three-handed play, in which Luca raises from the button with Lampropoulos was in the big blind – he'd often limped from that position before, incidentally – and Lampropoulos ends up three-betting him, causing him to fold. Interestingly, the reporter recording the hand comments that the two battling between themselves was a rare occurrence, and that Lampropoulos looked surprised and unsure of what to do before she raised, though I'll leave it to the reader to decide how much to read into that.
Overall, then, it's not hard to see why some are suspicious. Of course the evidence, such as it is, is purely circumstantial, but that's exactly the trouble with soft play. Even when it comes to online poker, it takes both a huge amount of data and careful analysis to demonstrate that two players are in fact taking it easy on each other. In a live environment, where record-keeping is spotty and the hand volume is much smaller, it's essentially impossible to tell, unless it's done very deliberately and obviously, such as a player repeatedly checking back strong hands against his friend.
The issue is never going to go away, either. As I've pointed out in the past, even the most scrupled player can never really be entirely sure he's not letting his feelings about other players influence his choices in close spots. Meanwhile, even in cases where the tournament director or floor staff suspect soft play, the plausible deniability is such that it's difficult to apply a penalty without causing more controversy than the play itself; most often, nothing more than a warning is given. This makes rules against softplay all but unenforceable, except in the most blatant cases, and since you'd have better luck to convince people to stop playing poker entirely than to stop swapping action or entering the same tournaments as their friends, family and significant others, this sort of controversy will forever be as much a part of tournament poker as the inevitable bad beat stories.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican has gotten its report card on its efforts to be more financially transparent — but it's secret.
A Council of Europe committee in Strasbourg on Wednesday adopted a report by independent inspectors who have been studying the Holy See's efforts to comply with international standards to fight money laundering and terror financing.
The evaluators' preliminary report found areas where the Vatican was compliant and where it needed work. During the meeting Wednesday of the Council of Europe's Moneyval committee, that report was amended by governments who are committee members, as often occurs. But neither the Vatican nor the Council of Europe would disclose the outcome, saying Moneyval's procedures forbid it.
The full report will be released in about a month, after the Vatican makes its own observations about the findings.

Interview with Speaker Paul Johnson
We have the privilege of hearing Paul Johnson speak at The Prosper Show. He will share with us how to use product reviews to build your best seller rank and the importance of using feedback to build reputation. Paul is an e-commerce polymath. He's done everything from retail arbitrage to developing software for merchants. He now directs the development of software tools for Amazon merchants, speaks on industry trends, and educates people on selling better. Below are some tips Paul shared from our interview with him.
How did you get into the industry?
I started Selling online in 2008. I started my first company selling guitars on eBay with a $2000 investment on a credit card.
What is one tip you can share that you've learned as an amazon seller?
It's important to understand your core competencies and focus on those. For example, if you are great at marketing but not good at operations you may want to look at outsourcing your warehousing operations, so your organization can focus on what it does best.
What do you like most about the industry?
I love how dynamic e-commerce is. It's exhilarating to be working in an industry that is growing and changing as fast as e-commerce is today.
