Figure to show Immunostaining of CCP5 enzymatic activity toward polymerized tubulin. Polymerized microtubules from MDA-MB-231 cells were prepared on plates using microtubule-stabilizing buffer containing 5 μm paclitaxel in the absence of GTP. For immunostaining with tyrosinated tubulin (ab48389) and Δ2-tubulin antibodies (ab106658), microtubules were treated with carboxypeptidase A1 (40 ng/ml) to convert tyrosinated into detyrosinated tubulin. After washes, microtubules were incubated with CCP5 or control eluate for 2 h and then processed for immunocytochemistry.

Posted on 02/07/2014 9:46:48 AM PST by BlatherNaut
Anyone involved in the pro-life movement has seen a myriad of reasons why women change their mind about having an abortion. But this may be the first time a couple considering an abortion have changed their mind because their car died.
Baby Roman was 18 weeks along when his parents went to Planned Parenthood last July for an abortion. They were told Roman was too late in pregnancy to be legally killed in an abortion and were directed to an abortion clinic in New Jersey that does late-term abortions.
But, in a chain of events that the couple describe as a miraculous sign from God, their car died. Because pro-life sidewalk counselors were on hand to assist them, they chose life for little Roman.

the Lord does work in many mysterious ways
This comes to show that we serve an awesome God!
Mac daddy's administration is deeply saddened while the rest of the world rejoices.
win-win :)
And no one on the Left sees a problem with butchering a baby at this stage of development.
Obviously Obamacare needs to be amended so we all pay for limousine service for people going to get their abortions.
High five to his guardian angel.
Headline should read:
On Way To Murder Full Term Baby At Birth, Demon Driven From Mother And Child Saved.
That's so sweet! What a visual!
Their ultimate intent is to be able to kill anyone at anytime, depending on the state's needs or wants. We can see that already in action.
They're not going to retreat and they will advance their ideals and only the Holy Spirit can hold them back.

(AP) Wimbledon, it feels like old times
By EDDIE PELLS
AP National Writer
Kimiko Date-Krumm remembers the good ol' days, when she used to shop in the morning, then go play tennis at night.
Those days are over – at least the shopping part.
At 42 years young, Date-Krumm is still out there, leading the way in what is turning into quite a renaissance for the aging set this tennis season, and at Wimbledon this week.
She fell 6-2, 6-0 to the tournament's top thirty-something, Serena Williams.
(In men's action Saturday, No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic looked familiar in making it 16 straight sets for an easy 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 win over Jeremy Chardy.)
In all, nine of the 32 players remaining for the second week of Wimbledon will be 30 or over, tying the Wimbledon Open-era record for the fourth round, last reached in 1975. Not among those nine: 31-year-old Roger Federer, the seven-time champion, who exited early, but upon leaving, said "I still have plans to play for many more years to come."
And why not?
As of this week, the average age of the top 20 players on the men's tour is 27 years, 260 days _ more than 2 1/2 years older than it was 10 years ago, according to STATS Inc. And on the women's tour over the last 10 years, the average age has spiked by almost exactly two years _ to 26 years, 213 days.
Players such as 31-year-old Li Na, 31-year-old Mikhail Youzhny, 31-year-old David Ferrer and 35-year-old Tommy Haas _ all of them preparing for Monday matches at Wimbledon _ contribute to those numbers.
Haas advanced by defeating 31-year-old Feliciano Lopez in four sets.
Schiavone was less than a month shy of 30 when she took the title in Paris, making her the oldest woman since 1969 to win her first Grand Slam championship.
All of this feels like a different world to Pat Cash, the 1987 Wimbledon champion, who played in the days when the sight of, say, a 37-year-old Ilie Nastase or a 39-year-old Jimmy Connors prowling the court wasn't unheard of but certainly wasn't as common as it is now.
Rules that restricted the number of tournaments teenagers could play actually date to the 1990s when tours, especially the women, saw an increasing number of teens _ Jennifer Capriati, Andrea Jaeger, Martina Hingis _ enjoying early success, but finding themselves unable to cope with the physical and emotional strain of getting so good, so fast.
Tracy Austin won the U.S. Open at 16 and was all but done by 21. She said the age restriction certainly helps push the average age up, but concedes there must be other reasons for the recent spike.
The demise of serve-and-volley, along with advances in equipment have gradually turned tennis into a slugger's affair and helped raise the level of fitness required in the sport.
The grinding nature of today's tennis has, in many ways, created more injuries, but also put an emphasis on finding more ways to prevent and heal them.
Williams is Exhibit A on how to extend a career, though she hardly took a traditional route. Different interests and injuries dictated she miss large chunks of time over the years, which might explain how she is feeling fresh and dominating _ the oldest woman to reach No. 1, at age 31. But, she concedes, she doesn't feel the same as when she was 21.
All this talk about the aged, of course, isn't to say that youth isn't being served in tennis.
At Wimbledon, Saturday wasn't all that bad a day to be young.
Australia's 20-year-old Bernard Tomic won a four-setter against 27-year-old Richard Gasquet of France.
On the women's side, Britain's 19-year-old Laura Robson won her third-round match over 25-year-old Marina Erakovic to advance to the second week, and 20-year-old Sloane Stephens of the United States beat 28-year-old Petra Cetkovska.
By then, it figures Haas will be out of the sport. He certainly isn't going quietly, though.
Oft-injured, oft-recovered, he has risen to 13th in the world on the strength of eight appearances in quarterfinals or better in tournaments this year. At Roland Garros, he became the oldest man since 1971 to reach the quarterfinals, where he fell to Novak Djokovic. On Monday, in the fourth round of Wimbledon, he'll have a rematch and will try to become the oldest Wimbledon quarterfinalist since 1979.
Haas simply rolls his eyes whenever he's asked about his age. Or his injuries. When someone's been around as long as he has, everything hurts.

From 0 to 60: A Birthday Celebration in Song
Friday, January 29, 2016
includes complimentary hors d'oeuvres at intermission
Just a few tickets left! Please call 613-729-0693
What better occasion to reflect back on the wide range of music and artists that I have enjoyed and been inspired by than with my third annual birthday concert at GigSpace on Friday January 29, 2016 ?!
Joining me for this event is one of the area's most talented musicians, Steve Boudreau, who will be accompanying me on GigSpace's terrific new grand piano. The repertoire has now been finalized and features a mix of jazz standards by some of the best songwriters and made popular by some of my favourite interpreters. We'll also present some songs from the pop, folk, and musical theatre world to truly reflect my wonderful journey in music. It's been great working with Steve to put the arrangements together.
Except for a couple of exceptions it features all new material. I've selected songs inspired by some of my fave jazz singers over the years like Stacey Kent, Tierney Sutton and Shirley Horn as well as by artists such as Barbra Streisand, k.d. lang, and The Beatles to name just a few.
Look forward to seeing you there!
Karen Oxorn reflects 60 years of loving music in her concerts this weekend "The musical journey encompassed by those LPs and more will be reflected in her two concerts this weekend, which will also celebrate her 60th birthday. On Friday, January 29, she'll perform with pianist Steve Boudreau at GigSpace in Ottawa". Jan 2016 Alayne McGregor, OttawaJazzScene.ca

Washington, D.C. – Today the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) announced that 33 financial technology companies have agreed to serve on the CSBS Fintech Industry Advisory Panel. The panel brings together state regulators and industry leaders, who will identify ways to help modernize the state regulatory system.
Reflecting a high level of interest, state regulators accepted a large number of companies – from start-ups to national brands – representing different industry sectors, geography, and business models. A full list appears below. Check here for any additional companies.
Albert Forkner, CSBS chairman and commissioner of the Wyoming Division of Banking, said: "State regulators want to listen to fintech leaders, take action to make the multi-state experience as seamless as possible, and ensure consumers and local economies reap the benefits of innovation. At the same time, we will preserve the essential financial safeguards and local perspective provided by the state regulatory system."
The advisory panel will have three working groups: money transmission and payments; lending; and community banking and innovation. Panel members and state regulators will discuss existing pain points and identify opportunities to improve multi-state licensing and supervision. The panel will kick off with a conference call later this month.
The advisory panel is one key element of CSBS' Vision 2020, a series of initiatives designed to forge an integrated, 50-state licensing and supervisory system for non-depository financial institutions, including fintechs, while ensuring safety and soundness and consumer protections.

I work with someone who is never happy with her meal no matter where she eats. She travels often and money is not really an issue. Here in this area she has had horrific meals at board favorites, terrible service at places know for wonderful service. She recently got back from New York and had a "disastrous" dinner at EMP. Service was "surly, indifferent, and rude" foods was "bland and uninspired". You get the picture. She had a similar experience at French Laundry when she was there last year.
I so want to say to her : "it's not them, it's you!"
I recently had mediocre meal at one of my favorite places. I realized after that the fact that it was really me. I had had a terrible day, was stressed and my husband and I were "having a bad patch". I projected that all onto meal and most likely the poor server, LOL. I would hate to wait on my co-worker!

Jeffrey Oppenheimer...helped me feel at ease.
Orlando, Florida (PRWEB) July 24, 2014
After waiting two years for her agonizing neck pain to get better and multiple injections later, Mrs. Ackerman decided it was time to get her life back as she describes in her letter. She knew a surgical intervention was needed to bring her true relief. After diligent research, Mrs. Ackerman contacted the Orthopedic and Laser Spine Surgery Center for help. Each staff member involved in her introduction and care planning were sincere and professional. Even living in Montana, the connection and security this Florida team created for her was more than worth the flight. Mrs. Ackerman underwent her neck surgery and has had a fantastic recovery. She was quickly able to return back home and is already looking forward to hiking the rocky Montana terrain.
What is so inspiring about these types of letters, is for those it reaches who are hesitating to have their spine condition corrected or even looked at. It gives them some insight into the positive outcomes of so many that have been through a similar situation to theirs and possibly the motivation they need to seek adequate help.

The first squad workout of the day at Bayern's winter training camp in Qatar ended with a moment of deep concern on Sunday morning. Left-back David Alaba injured his right knee while making a tackle in the practice match at the end of the session and had to break off the workout prematurely. However, the FCB medical staff sounded the all-clear shortly afterwards, as the 21-year-old has sustained nothing more serious than a painful blow. "He's just taken a knock. It's not a big problem," reported coach Pep Guardiola. The Austrian Player of the Year should be fit in time for Monday's friendly meeting with Kuwait Sporting Club.

Scientists are warning parents to avoid some infant formulas that may contain high levels of arsenic, an extremely poisonous metallic element that has been shown to cause cancer. The hazardous baby formulas are sweetened with arsenic-containing organic brown rice syrup, which some manufacturers are starting to use in place of high fructose corn syrup or other sweeteners.
Many processed food products today are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. But concerns that corn syrup might be contributing to obesity has led many food manufacturers to turn to organic brown rice syrup, believing it to be a healthier alternative to the high fructose corn syrup.
Now, researchers say that brown rice syrup may be an unintended source of arsenic, a highly toxic metallic element that's been shown to increase the risk of cancer when present in drinking water.
A researcher at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences at Dartmouth University in New Hampshire, Brian Jackson, says scientists were curious about the amount of arsenic in foods consumed by babies.
"Because of their low body weight, if they are exposed to arsenic, then they are exposed to a disproportionately high exposure rate on a high kilogram body weight basis," Jackson said.
Jackson, who led the study, and colleagues randomly purchased more than a dozen baby formulas to test them for the presence of arsenic. He says almost all the formulas contained very low or trace amounts of arsenic, including those that had rice starch.
"And then I selected two other formulas that I found in a local supermarket, brought those back to the lab, tested them and they turned out to be 20 to 30 times higher than any of the other formulas that we tested. So when we get an anomalous result like that, we retested this and got the same results again. And at that point I turned a jar around and looked at the label and the first ingredients in that label were organic brown rice syrup," Jackson said.
Researchers found high levels of inorganic arsenic, the most toxic form, in soy based formula.
Jackson explains that growing rice needs a mineral in soil called silica. But Jackson says arsenic is chemically a lot like silica, and the growing rice plant takes up both silica as well as arsenic, which is also in the ground. When the rice is fermented to make organic rice syrup, Jackson says the arsenic dissolves easily in the watery brew and becomes part of the syrup.
For this reason, Jackson urges parents to read the label on baby food products and to think twice before purchasing infant foods that contain organic rice syrup.
"I would recommend that. Obviously the amount of arsenic -- it varies in rice depending upon the cultivar of rice, where the rice is grown -- so you are going to get that same variation in brown rice syrups. It's true that rice as a grain takes up more arsenic than other grains," Jackson said.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a statement saying it is not aware of any baby formulas that contain organic brown rice syrup. An agency spokeswoman said FDA regulators are studying aresenic in all rice and rice products and could issue recalls after the report is completed later this year.
An article on arsenic concentrations in baby food and other products is published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.

Leinie's is going airborne on American.
Beginning July 1, Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing will have one of its beers on sale on American Airlines' 350 domestic flights daily from O'Hare International Airport.
Leinie's is going airborne on American.
Beginning July 1, Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing will have one of its beers on sale on American Airlines' 350 domestic flights daily from O'Hare International Airport.
"It's a big break for us," says Jake Leinenkugel, president of the Chippewa Falls, Wis.-based brewery, which does a fairly decent regional business. "We'll gain new awareness."
Leinenkugel, which pulls down 60 percent of its volume from sales in Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota, has no pretensions of becoming a national brand, though it's available in 22 other states.
At 300,000-plus barrels, it's hardly in the league of biggie Anheuser-Busch, which is closing in on 90 million barrels a year, or Leinie's parent, Miller Brewing Co., that's somewhere over 40 million.
Yet, with its flagship Leinenkugel's Original, this brewery will be side-by-side with Anheuser, Miller and Coors Brewing on American flights.
Leinie's has been climbing the sales chart from the 58,000 barrels it rolled out in 1988 when it was acquired by Miller. Currently its fastest-growing brew is Honey Weiss.
Leinenkugel recently celebrated its 130th anniversary, and only about half a dozen other brewers have been around that long or longer.
American has been adding specialty or regional brews to offer variety.
The Sam Adams brand was introduced on transcontinental flights last July, and earlier this year, Shiner Bock, a Texas brew, got on board flights from the carrier's Dallas-Ft. Worth hub.
"Customer preferences are changing, and we want to make available specialty brews," says an American spokesperson.
As reported, Chicago-based, State Street Brewing Co. (7,000 barrels of beer annually), landed on the United Airlines flights at O'Hare linked to the promotion of Taste of Chicago.
Brushing off the Windy City: The American Dental Association might be a Chicago-based organization, but its trustees have decided on Oklahoma City agency Jordan Associates to develop an advertising program aimed at increasing awareness of new dental procedures. At a meeting earlier this week, the 15 trustees, plus several ADA officials, decided to recommend Jordan to the ADA's annual House of Delegates meeting in late October in Washington, D.C. It's expected that delegates will approve Jordan and a $750,000 budget for sample creative to be presented to state dental societies. At the 1998 ADA meeting in San Francisco, delegates will be asked to approve what's projected to be an annual $30 million ad budget, including production costs, for a three-year period. Whether that level of spending will be approved is to be determined. Jordan beat out Foote, Cone & Belding Chicago's Impact Communications Group, which continues on a trade promotion campaign for ADA that approximates $2.5 million annually.
Ameritech eyes six PR firms: As expected, Burson-Marsteller Chicago heads a list of six public relations firms being considered by Ameritech Corp. for an annual $1 million plus fee PR program. The others: Hill & Knowlton; Manning, Selvage & Lee; Dilenschneider Group; Integrated Marketing Solutions and Jasculca/Terman, all Chicago. This list will be narrowed. Burson-Marsteller has done corporate work for the client in the past, and it currently works on Ameritech's cellular business. Whether this gives Burson Marsteller an edge is to be determined.
Wunderman picks Smith: Young & Rubicam Inc.'s Wunderman Cato Johnson unit picked Timothy A. Smith as chief financial officer of its North American division, and chief operating officer of the direct marketing-promotions agency's Chicago office. Smith, 39, who had been chief financial officer and general manager of Omnicom Group's Merkley Newman Harty in New York, reports to Allan Winneker, the Chicago-based president of Wunderman's North American division, which does not include its Manhattan headquarters. Wunderman Chicago capitalized billing is expected to hit $110 million in 1997. Other appointments: Katie Callahan-Giobbi, director of sales and marketing of the Fairmont Hotel Chicago, also is the new president of the Chicago area chapter of Meeting Professionals International, for a one-year term, effective July 1. . . . Rita Biermann to P.R. firm DeFrancesco/Goodfriend as an associate.
Strictly Personal: Birthday greetings to S. Scott Harding, 49 (Newspaper Services of America); George Lois, 66; A.M. "Tony" Tortoriello, 64; (Torco Energy); Wayne E. Meekins, 66; and Jennifer Ziltz, 26.
- Downers Grove-based Florists' Transworld Delivery Thursday is expected to announce a new ad agency, and sources indicate it will be W.B. Doner & Co.'s Southfield, Mich., office for what's a $10 million ad account.

The safest way to ship a car is a question that has a few different answers. If you want the straight-up, absolute safest way to transport a car, enclosed auto transport is probably going to be your best bet. Enclosed transport is great because it completely protects your vehicle from exposure to the outside elements. Your vehicle will be secured inside an enclosed container on the back of a large semi truck (not unlike the 18 wheelers you see on the highway every day) and transported from your pickup location to your delivery location.
However, enclosed auto transport services are more expensive than the alternative, which is open transport. This is why we say that there are a few different answers when you ask what the safest way to ship a car is, because open transport is as safe as driving your vehicle on the road yourself – safer, actually, because you don't have to worry about other people slamming into your car (it's on the back of a truck) and you aren't putting the miles on it if you transport it that you would if you were to drive it. But what's the difference?
Enclosed transport is more expensive than open transport. A lot more – usually anywhere from 35-50% more expensive than what an open carrier would charge on the same route. So enclosed transport is generally something that is recommended only if it is absolutely necessary, because 95% of the time open transport is completely safe. Only 5% of all vehicles transported every single year have damage that requires filing an insurance claim against the trucking company, and most of the time it's because of things that no one had any control over – golfball-sized hail, for instance, or rocks that get kicked up by other cars on the freeway. Things happen.
When searching for the right method of auto transportation for your specific vehicle, take a look at what exactly you're shipping. If it's a high-end, expensive car, enclosed transportation might be worth the extra money. However, if you're transporting a vehicle that you drive every day and expect to drive when it's delivered, you're probably going to have just as good an experience with an open transport truck. You can also call our toll-free number to speak to one of our live agents if you have more questions about which method of transport would be best for your specific vehicle.
If you're interested in transporting your vehicle safely, you can fill out our free online car shipping quote form and get an instant auto transport quote. You can book your auto transport order right there online or you can call our toll-free telephone number at 800-600-3750 to speak to one of our live auto shipping service representatives who can answer your questions and explain more about the auto transportation process.

LIVINGSTON — Obesity continues to be a problem among American children and teens. Youth that are overweight or obese have a greater risk for developing many health problems such as diabetes and hypertension.
In response, The Pediatric Specialty Center at Saint Barnabas Medical Center is offering a Healthy Life Super Seminar on Tuesday, Sept. 20, for kids and teens who tend to put on weight more easily than others. This fun and educational one-time seminar will teach many basics of healthy weight management, including nutrition information, behavioral skills, and the importance of enjoyable exercise.
The Super Seminar covers the following skills and topics:
- Reducing calories without deprivation and understanding "storage" of excess.
- Healthy Everyday Foods vs. Not-So-Healthy Sometimes foods.
- Asking "Is it worth it"? Maximizing nutrition and enjoyment for your calories.
- Size matters! Tips and tricks for controlling portions.
- Have your cake and taste it too! (Slow, savoring, and mindful eating).
- What you see is what you want! (or, out of sight, out of mind).
- Asking "Am I Really Hungry?" … what to do with urges to eat if you're not.
- Activity: Exercise, "Exerplay" and finding time to move.
The seminar is led by Debra Gill, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist and certified fitness instructor with over 15 years experience facilitating weight management and healthy lifestyle change. She counsels families, groups, and individuals on a daily basis, and is routinely invited to give talks to parent organizations, community groups and to other health professionals throughout NJ.

Luminant, formerly Clarant Worldwide Corp., delayed its offering last month amid an IPO slump and then this month cut the number of shares offered while raising the share price.
Luminant this week again cut the number of shares in its public offering when Y&R agreed to pay $15 million for a larger stake. Y&R, which early on had been expected to own 11.3 to 13.4% of Luminant, now will own 22% to 27.5% depending on whether it exercises options.
Meanwhile, United Airlines may take a flier on Luminant. The shop gave the airline warrants to buy 300,000 shares in coming years at the IPO price. Luminant has a deal with United to offer e-commerce and other services through 2004. A rival, Delta Air Lines, has profited handily with its investment in another Web venture, Priceline.com.
Luminant's agencies had an operating loss of $50.7 million on revenues of $41.4 million in the six months ended June 30.

I think my fiancé is backing out, what can I do? This is a question that comes up from time to time when a woman is in a relationship with a man who was in love and excited enough about marriage to propose, and then gave some signs that he may be having second thoughts. If you think your fiancé is trying to back out of the wedding, you should definitely talk to him about it. If you have a wedding date set and he wants to back out of the wedding, you are going to find out at some point, but it would be better to find out sooner rather than later.
Sometimes a man will tell you that he is having second thoughts about getting married. Of course it can be painful to hear that, but it is better if he is honest and upfront about it. It may not be something that you want to hear but it's better than waiting until the wedding day when lots of money has been spent and arrangements have been made, and then he decides he can't go through with the wedding.
So what can you do about it if you think your fiancé is backing out? A lot of women want to know what they can do about it if there fiancé is getting cold feet. The only thing you can really do is try to talk to him about it. There's not much you can do other than open the lines of communication. The person who proposed to you should not have to be convinced that marrying you was the right thing to do. They should marry you because they want to. If they are getting cold feet however, you need to talk about it.
Ask him why he is having second thoughts. If he answers your questions, you may be able to work things out. A lot of men are afraid of commitment because they think that too many things in their life will change. If your fiancé is worried that he won't be able to spend time with his buddies and do the things he likes to do, you can assure him that you will not stop him from doing those things. You could encourage him to spend time with his friends and pursue his own interests. If he was afraid that he would lose his freedom but you encourage him to do the things he likes to do, you will be able to eliminate that fear.
Of course communication is not always so easy. It takes two willing parties to be able to communicate effectively. You can try to be as calm and understanding as possible, but he may still resist talking about marriage or setting a date. If you try to bring up the subject and he starts a fight with you or gets irritated every time you want to talk about it, it will be a lot more difficult to communicate effectively. For a lot of couples that are considering marriage, counseling is a wonderful option.
Getting marriage counseling is not going to guarantee that your fiancé will not back out of the wedding, but it does create an environment where the two of you can communicate. The counselor will help both of you express your feelings and suggest ways to deal with them. The counselor will make sure that the communication remains amicable and does not degrade into an argument.
Communication is key. If you can't communicate on your own and counseling is not working, then your relationship will not be able to continue. But it is definitely better to find out that type of issue before you get married. Communication can either help you repair your relationship so that the two of you can get married and be happy together, or it can prevent you from making a big mistake that will cause even bigger problems down the road.

Bryan Prior acknowledges that sanctions on Iran aren't compelling the regime to change its position on its nuclear program, but claims that they are nonetheless "working" in other ways:
Thus, as the next round of talks in Kazakhstan comes and goes, U.S. policy makers should remain patient and place confidence in the other ways in which sanctions are working—namely, in thwarting Iran's goal of regional hegemony while demonstrating to the world the costs of attempting to cross the nuclear threshold.
This doesn't make much sense. If the "central goal" of imposing a cruel sanctions regime on Iran is to compel a change in regime behavior specifically on the nuclear issue, and they show no signs of doing that, why should the U.S. continue a failing policy on the grounds that it might have some incidental advantages? Prior's argument is a good example of how sanctions supporters can change the criteria used for judging the merits of the policy they support. Sanctions almost never succeed in changing regime behavior, they aren't successful in this case, and so now apparently it's important to cook up some other reason to keep them in place.
Prior reviews the economic damage that sanctions are doing to the country, which is certainly happening, and then says this:
If the United States and its partner nations accept more modest policy objectives, then they already are succeeding—even if Iran ultimately becomes a nuclear power [bold mine-DL].
Of course, by any reasonable standard this would mean that sanctions on Iran had completely failed to achieve their ostensible "central goal," and all of the economic dislocation and suffering inflicted on the civilian population would have been mostly in vain. Prior's argument captures very well why sanctions once imposed are so difficult to remove. Even if they are completely useless in achieving their supposed original goal, new reasons to keep them in place can be devised without any difficulty. In the end, sanctions are imposed simply as punishment, and in the case of an authoritarian regime such as Iran's there is always something for which the U.S. might claim to be punishing them.

Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker will be going to New York City next month with leaders of three regional economic partnerships to meet with industry consultants.
The trip is interesting because the legislature cut off funding for the seven regional economic partnerships as part of the reorganization of North Carolina's economic development efforts.
As part of the effort to reinvent themselves, the regional economic partnerships representing the Triangle, the Triad and Charlotte have joined forces to push job recruitment along the Interstate 85 corridor. They arranged a trip to New York City next month, and invited Decker to come along.
Decker pointed to the new collaborative relationship of the three large area regional partnerships as a way that local communities can be more innovative.
She acknowledged that rural regional partnerships may face a more difficult time. She said the state may have to assume a larger role in recruiting in the rural areas to help fill any vacuum.
"It's entirely up to them and their communities," Decker said of the future of the partnerships.

Though it's been raining hard here in San Francisco,
it's hard to imagine that Spring is already coming! I
can't believe it's already March. With spring comes
spring cleaning so I thought I would do a lineup on
laundry rooms and spaces. When I was young, I used
to adore jumping into a fresh laundry pile that had
just come out of the dryer because it was so warm
and because it smelled like laundry detergent.
I love the color of the laundry space above. Although
it's small, there are racks and hooks that utilize the
space well.
The laundry room above is bright an airy with
a ton of storage space. Don't we all wish we had
such a spacious laundry room.
The above laundry space is a very practical
one that many of us would have. I love that
the owner put beadboard to the walls and
a curtain to draw over the open shelves.
This laundry room looks to be ultra modern and
state of the art with front loading machines, stainless
steel surfaces and a metal back splash treatment.
Very cool indeed.
One of the owners of Bella Design Team installed
this super cozy laundry area in her garage. I can't
even tell it's in the garage! Great isn't it?
This laundry room is on a landing but it didn't stop the owner
from installing a glam chandelier with wallpaper and beadboard.
For organization, all you need are hooks, shelves
and a rack with laundry bins is super useful.
In fact, you can find racks just like it below.
Basic Elements Ultra Laundry
Station for $59.99 from Amazon.
Laundry Station: Organize It All
I actually like this square one as it's a bit different.
It includes a flat table on top for folding.
clothes clean and preserved. I'm a sucker for
books with beautiful photos and tips/instructions
for everything.
Anywho, hope you were inspired for any of you
who were thinking of a laundry space makeover.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec. 2, 2013) - LX Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LXV) ("LXV" or the "Company") and portfolio company Mobio ("Mobio") are pleased to announce that Mobio has successfully launched on schedule as planned on December 1st. With an initial roster of celebrity influencers and their enthusiastic fans, Mobio delivered a first in social media - a platform designed specifically to give fans direct influence on the content provided to them by the stars they love.
Mobio is conducting a staged rollout of its celebrity influencers to gradually scale traffic and test ad delivery effectiveness. Now that the launch has been a success, additional influencers with some of the largest social followings will be added in the coming days and weeks.

Back in 2007, Pocket-lint conducted a survey of its readers. Back then, 63% of you tuned in to radio online.
However, according to new figures from the UK radio ratings body RAJAR, a third of the UK population listens to internet radio. That's a full 16.9 million people, up 5% since October 2008.
Streaming music services are also doing rather well, with 3.9 million people accessing them - up 34.5% on October's figures. We'd bet that the majority of that increase is due to Spotify.
Listen again services are popular, though intriguingly about half of those listening didn't listen the first time around, so perhaps they should be renamed. Overall, radio listening is up.
Lastly, podcasts are enjoying a renaissance in popularity. 7.8 million people have downloaded a podcast, and 4.2 million say that they listen to podcasts at least once a week.
RAJAR research manager Christel Lacaze told reporters: "The fourth MIDAS survey clearly reveals that internet delivered audio listening, whether it is listening live, via listen again services, via personalised online radio or via podcasts, continues to grow".

Thank you to every single one of YOU! Our dearest friends, partners and customers who have made 2014 such an amazing journey for us!
May you and your families be well and happy this holiday season! See you in 2015, Year of the Goat!
Yours Playfully,
It's New Year's Eve and we are taking the time to count our blessings for the year of 2013. A big thank you to all our customers, partners and suppliers for supporting us since we started up in April. Special thanks to all the mummies and daddies who have invited our face painters, balloon sculptors & decorators, caricaturists, calligraphers, magicians, photographers, craft & game hosts, popcorn & candy floss chefs to your child's parties and family events! Without you, our artists would not have the opportunity to spread our joy and love for children and art!
It's really great to know that our hard work and passion has not gone unrecognized. Just 6 months into our launch, Happier Singapore has been recognized by The Asian Parent as first on the list of Top 5 Face Painters in Singapore! We will continue to strive to improve as artists and entertainers, bringing you creative designs beyond your wildest imagination!
Our most popular girl face painting designs, needless to say, are our rainbow butterflies! Even within this small category of designs, our face painters like to paint each butterfly to bring our the personality of our little customers. From the moment she sits down in our chair, we can tell if Little Miss Sunshine, Little Miss Shy, Little Miss Thoughtful etc. That's part of our enjoyment too as face painters I guess.
My personal favorite is the Frozen Fairy Princess mask. This minimalist face painting design is inspired by the BEST Disney movie of the year, Frozen. It is one of those Disney animation movies you definitely must watch! It made me cry so much but I still left the theatre with a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart. Really love the emotions that came through the voices and storyline. Sure, you have heard about true love in other fairy tales, but Frozen really gives a new dimension to what true love is. This Frozen Fairy Princess mask, I dedicate to my darling younger sister, Amanda. May we continue face painting together happily ever after and do you wanna build a snowman?
Isn't it every boy's dream to save the world and defend their fairies and princesses? Our face painters will bestow superpowers upon your sons and let them experience being a superhero (until their next bath). Of course, with great power comes great responsibility. Not only for Spiderman; that's what we tell our happier Captain America, Batman, Ironman, Green Lantern, Wolverine & Superman as well.
Only recently did I discover the difference between a Unicorn, Pegasus, Alicorn and your regular earth Pony and Horse. If you are above the age of 12, chances are you'd need to learn this from someone younger than you. Well, at least I did. You might be surprised how much attention to detail your child is capable of when you sprinkle some imagination, colors and magic into your teaching. Maybe I'll blog about teachable moments from the psychologist – face painter perspective next time!
Face painting is no child's play. While we aim for speed at events and parties, you can also book a private session to get a high definition face painting makeover for your fancy dress functions. You can get the same cinematic quality makeup done in the comfort of your home or office with family, friends and colleagues. We're always looking forward to get creative for your next Masquerade ball, Halloween party and more!
Are you looking for innovative marketing tools? Leverage this a unique marketing opportunity with our face and body art, where your guests become walking and smiling ambassadors of your brand. You can count on our face and body painters to make your event moments Instagram and Facebook worthy. Because our face and body painters can paint free hand, the possibilities are virtually limitless!
Apart from entertaining the kids, we certainly love dressing up your party venues too! We turned a living room into an Igloo by building a mini arch in the doorway this Christmas. Or you can share with us other whacky theme ideas and we'll build you a giant arch for your stage or grand entrance.
Can you spot the toddler in the photo above?
We came up with some colorful balloon column decorations to match our clients' themed entertainment too!
Our balloon sculptors are almost like your modern day fairy godmothers and fairy godfathers. Whatever the birthday boy or girl wishes for, we can twist it out of balloons. No party is complete without each child going home with a cute balloon sculpture toy!
If you are a brand manager, we can come up with a creative balloon marketing plan to boost the ROI on your roadshow promotional efforts too!
Caricature is a must-have for adult parties I would say – it doubles up as entertainment and a personalized door gift for your guests! Our caricaturists are highly sought after for weddings, cocktail receptions and roadshows. A happier caricaturist will lighten up your parties as they entertain you live with a cartoon caricature of yourself drawn on the spot.
If you love our face painting designs and you want the 2-in-1 entertainment and door gift concept, name art calligraphy is the perfect option for you! We are proud to say that Happier Singapore is the first in Singapore to offer this unique service.
It is so true when they say art is influenced by culture. I am getting a feel like I am the last few young Singaporeans who love their country and their own culture. I was inspired by the traditional Chinese calligraphers at our local Chinatown. Our happier artists put own our spin on the traditional calligraphy art with vibrant colors and trendy designs that appeal to all ages. If you are planning for a cultural or community event, our name art calligraphers will be most happy to weave in a cultural element for you too!
Here's wishing you a happier new year with family and friends!
We look forward to bringing you more happiness and creative party art in year 2014!
Yours Playfully,

Two months have just flown by and it's National Day tomorrow!
Some quick personal annoucements, I decided to leave my first job officially on 28th of June 2013. After graduating from NUS Psychology in 2012, my Adjunct Associate Professor, Douglas Abrams, offered me a fun time job at Expara (full time job I mean). So I spent my first year after graduation doing business development for Expara, a local venture capital firm providing funding, advisory and training for entrepreneurs with innovative technology-driven businesses. It was a tough decision to leave because I have been blessed with a great boss and colleagues. Then and again, we are only young once. So while I am still young, energetic and not tied down with too many commitments, why not just do something I really love?
So yes! I am running Happier Singapore full time! Whoopee!
I love the challenge of running this business. It is very fast paced so it doesn't give me any chance of getting bored. Apart from being an entertainer, I need to oversee the marketing, finances, public relations and human resource aspects as well. I could probably hire someone, but it is very important to me that I am able to have a personal touch with all of our clients. We are always on our toes to ensure that every party or event we go to, we are able to deliver exceptional service!
I'm also always making a note to self to make time for my own family, boy friend and friends amidst the happier hustle. It's not getting any easier, but I am getting a hang of it.
Since April, I see all my happier artists making really good progress on both their technical skills in face painting and balloon twisting, as well as developing their personal style and confidence in interacting with the kids and their families. I can safely say each and every one of my artists are capable of flying solo now. Feeling proud like a mummy now.
We have regular updates on Facebook in case you are looking for more pictures on our balloon sculptures!
Also, if you are looking for NDP face painting, a team of students from Temasek Junior College will be situated along Orchard Road to paint you some orchids and Singapore flags! Please feel free to approach them for your face or hand painting! All proceeds will be going to the Children's Cancer Foundation. Such a meaningful way of spending their NDP holidays!
We had the NDP charity face painting 1-h crash course just this Monday on the TJC campus! It was really a joy to share the art with Kevin and gang! It was a pleasant surprise to have my good friend, Mr Ashraf and his brother, Mr Aaron, pop by at the end of the session too!
Have a Happier National Day everyone!
Yours Playfully,
Original post on Alicia's personal blog:
The number of enquiries for face painting and balloon sculpting have been growing slowly but steadily since January. And finally, on my mom's birthday this 3rd April, I set up my first company, Happier Singapore!
All my closest friends and sister have joined forces in spreading our love for face painting and balloon twisting. It was actually pretty fun to start building a team proper! So here are some milestones documenting the baby steps to where we are now!
Here are my besties after their first face painting workshop! We have learnt how to make basic lines and shapes with our brushes.
Here are they again after the second workshop! We have learnt how to put basic lines and shapes into a picture!
Finally, I brought them for some on-the-job training! Pretty impressive job on the little pretty girls huh?
I have been doing my homework as well. See kids? If you want to be good in anything, you must do your homework! Even magic comes from practice.
And of course, nothing is like trying out the designs on cute curly-haired live models!
I totally love it when the daddies are so super spontaneous! They'll do anything to make their little ones happy. Including painting their face after their toddler's shoe or tattooing a talking snake over their mouth.
Going on to balloon sculpting, this was the very first unicorn design I came up with! The proportions came out kinda funny but I've tweaked the design now.
And then, I got excited and started making a whole balloon zoo!
Sometimes, I use balloons for some simple party games and then recycle the game props into wearable fairy wings for the birthday princess too!
The beauty of balloon sculpting is that it is still possible to send the kids a personalized balloon doll even if we can't be there for their parties at times.
Finally, here's Chris and me balloon twisting our Labour Day holiday away at OCBC Ion Orchard yesterday!
So overall, Year 2013 has been treating me very well. I am especially heartened by clients who feed me so well during my gigs.
I do apologize for the times I leave the slice of cake untouched or have to rush off to another event immediately! Even as I pause to take a bite of cake or sip of water, I'm feeling so bad having the children standing in line for me to grant their wishes! Still, I really really appreciate it when the boss at OCBC insists I take a break to eat chicken rice and drink OCBC mineral water. Thank you for the power-up!
I might not get a chance to blog again too soon, but you can still find out what we are gonna be up to this weekend on Facebook!
Whether you're planning for a party or you're just simply mesmerized with the magic of face paint and balloons, drop me an SMS at 8128 2005 if you'd like us to entertain your guests or set up a workshop for you and your family & friends.
Hope to paint and twist for you soon!
Yours Playfully,
P.S. I found a pic of my younger sis's first ever balloon sculpture. Mr Egg Head looked pretty hilarious doesn't he?

There are certain celebrities who would make us cringe if they wore the jersey of our favorite NHL teams. Here are 10 of them.
When Toronto Mayor Rob Ford appeared in an Argonauts jersey yesterday, the Canadian Football League club issued a press release distancing itself from the controversial and embattled mayor. It was worded very lawyerly, but what the Argos really meant was "get our colors off your back and stay away from our playoff game this weekend." In a word, the Argos were horrified.
It got us to thinking which famous personalities we'd hate to see wearing our favorite hockey team's jerseys; the ones that would really make us cringe if they were representing. Here are the top, or bottom, 10:
- Sean Avery. Sloppy fifths. No thanks.
- Michael Vick. How do Eagles fans stomach it?
- Lance Armstrong. From what we're led to believe, he's done more PEDs than every player in the history of the NHL. Combined.
- Tiger Woods. This one goes out to the ones we love. Our wives. (Sing this one to the tune of the R.E.M. song).
- Donald Trump. FIE-erred.
- Alex Rodriguez. See No. 4.
- Honey Boo Boo. She's been exploited enough.
- Barry Bonds. See No. 6. Then No. 4.
- Tonya Harding. We'll make an exception if she arranges to take out the other team's star player at the knees.
- Justin Bieber. Stratford's most famous export used to be Howie Morenz. Now it's the Biebs. Pity.

DONALD Trump has sensationally claimed Barack Obama had his "wires tapped" in Trump Tower during the US election.
In an astonishing series of early morning tweets, the firebrand President claimed his predecessor had bugged his phones during the "very sacred election process", slamming the allegations as a "Nixon/Watergate" scandal.
Trump, who started the Twitter rant at 5:30am US eastern time, branded the claims a "new low" before appearing to call Obama a "bad (or sick) guy".
The property tycoon turned politician wrote: "How low has President Obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!"
Watergate refers the early 1970s political scandal which forced the resignation of Republican President Richard Nixon when it emerged that the Democratic party's headquarters had been broken into.
He also tweeted: "Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!"
McCarthyism is the practise of making accusations without proper evidence and can also refer to the use of improper investigative techniques.
He later added: "Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!"

Special Olympics comes to ND
Nicole Toczauer | Sunday, April 17, 2011
The weekend's rain paused long enough Sunday for Special Olympics ND to host its first soccer competition in a Blue versus Gold game at Alumni Field. Co-presidents and seniors Soeren Palumbo and Christopher Rhodenbaugh said the match was the culmination of a three-year process.
After Palumbo and Rhodenbaugh applied for club status in the fall of 2008 and were denied club status, their goal of creating a Special Olympics club at Notre Dame was finally achieved last August.
"It's one of the first official university Special Olympics clubs in the United States," Rhodenbaugh said.
The match demonstrated the cumulative effort of Palumbo, Rhodenbaugh and Jenna Newcomb, who graduated before the club became official. Bringing together University students and Special Olympics athletes, Rhodenbaugh said the game showed how Special Olympics grew on campus.
"It hit off unbelievably," he said. "Once we recruited people they got their friends to come to the meetings. We've maintained our volunteers and hope there will be more."
Rhodenbaugh said Sunday's game was one of the first events in the United States to include college students and Special Olympics athletes on the same team. Remarkably, 13 of the 14 athletes on the teams were new recruits, he said.
"They've never participated in Special Olympics before," he said. "That's what we want to do — reach new people in our community."
The effort and time the club members put into Sunday's game and every month leading up to it brought hope, Palumbo said. Inspired by his younger sister Olivia Palumbo, Palumbo said he speaks from personal experience.
"As someone with a sibling with an intellectual disability, it's a comfort that there are this many people who want to make the world a better place, to make sport and even fun more inclusive," he said. "It just gives me a lot of hope."
Palumbo added that on a global scale, Notre Dame's Special Olympics event verified the effect young people can have on a community.
"The game showed the energy young people can infuse, and it demonstrated that Special Olympics is interested in empowering them to be leaders of today," Palumbo said. "It's not made in an office. It was inspired and planned by college students."
Tim Shriver, co-founder of the Special Olympic College Outreach Program and grandson of Special Olympic founder Eunice Shriver, presented the award to the Blue team on the field early Sunday afternoon.
"This is the long-awaited start of a program at Notre Dame. Three years ago the Special Olympic College Outreach Program encouraged the creation of clubs like this," Shriver said. "This is hopefully the first of many competitions."
Shriver said this event stressed an inclusive community many Special Olympics athletes lack due to a societal norm of exclusion towards those with disabilities. This inclusion, acceptance and respect, he said, caused those differences to disappear.
"It's a chance to escape the overwhelming stigma they experience so heavily in everyday life," Shriver said. "For everyone who gets involved, there's one more person who changes their attitude."
Beyond Sunday's event, Palumbo would like to develop intercollegiate athletic events between teams composed of athletes with and without intellectual disabilities.
"We'd like to see Notre Dame play Purdue or Northwestern," he said. "On a grander scale, we'd like to see college students and Special Olympics athletes be engaged equally and recognized as teammates. We'd love the rivalries of UCLA and USC, of Harvard and Yale, and the fervor that goes with those [to] materialize."
But the ultimate goal, Rodenbaugh said, is to have people advocate the spirit of inclusion in everyday life. Something about sports and its process of learning encourages friendship and inspires others.
"There's the fraternity that comes out of it, as with any team," Palumbo said. "Sports strips away those barriers we use to keep each other apart. That experience is a self-affirming one and gives anyone confidence in Notre Dame, college students and the human race in general."

Last week, the FBI's crime database joined reality.
The agency issued a new definition for the crime of rape, rectifying a policy more than 80 years behind the times.
The old definition had long contributed to skewed data and damaging attitudes.
Here's the definition that had been in place since the late 1920s: "The carnal knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will."
Rape, the new wording acknowledges, happens to more than just women. Men and children are also victims. And the crime can involve a range of assaults where consent is not given, not just vaginal sex.
Also, a victim can be rendered unable to consent by drugs and/or alcohol. Think date rape, already a common phrase because thankfully, courts, police and the general public recognize it occurs.
It's not that the FBI, or any level of law enforcement, was ignorant of the way sexual violence plays out in America. The new definition doesn't alter federal, state and municipal laws, charges or prosecutions.
But because the FBI definition was out of sync with how police see the crime occur, crime statistics didn't add up. City, county and other law enforcement all feed their data into the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports.
Chicago didn't report any rapes in 2010, because the city's data was far broader than what the FBI allowed to be included.
In 1995, the American Medical Association asserted that rape was the most underreported of all violent crime. The new definition will go a long way toward making it less so. With more data, the true range and nature of the assaults can be tallied, better understood and in time, prevented.
A lot of myths could start to unravel with the improved information. Too many people still think of rape as being primarily about sex, rather than violence. Part of that attitude is derived from thinking of it solely as a sex act between a man and woman.
Men and children as victims will be less easy to discount.
And the penchant for some people to see women as the willing participant, either by how they were dressed or poor decision-making, will also be undercut. As if wearing a short skirt or doing shots at a bar suddenly gives any man in the vicinity the OK to attack.
That attitude is demeaning to men, portraying the entire gender as sexual predators with no self-control or moral aptitude to remain within the law.
How men will be perceived as the targets of rape will challenge perceptions of gender and likely sexual orientation. Yet just because men can also be victims, that doesn't negate the large societal issue of violence against women in general. More minds just might open to that conversation, too.
Time will tell. But the lack of solid data has allowed far too many distortions to flourish unquestioned.

A man was trapped in a car after a two-vehicle smash in Derbyshire last night.
The driver of one of the two cars was also treated by paramedics after injuring his neck and back but was not seriously hurt.
Derbyshrie Fire and Rescue confirmed that a man need to be extricated from a car after a crash on the road.
A spokesperson said: "We were called to a road traffic collision in Rawson Green, Kilburn at 6.15pm.
"One pump from Belper and one from Ripley were in attendance.
"The incident involved two cars and one person was trapped. The roof was removed by firefighters to allow the extrication to take place."
Neighbour Pauline Finnie who lives on Rawson Green was concerned by the incident.
She said: "It took two hours to cut him out of his car."
Derbyshire police said: "We got a call at 6pm with reports of an RTC at the crossroads with near the old railway pub. The collision involved a Fiat Punto and a Vauxhall Safira.
"The driver of the Vauxhall, a man, injured his back and neck and firefighters attended to extricate him.
"His injuries were not life threatening."
Any witnesses to the incident should call police on the non-emergency number 101.
