Music mogul Simon Cowell fought to help his friend Paula Abdul keep her job as a judge on The X Factor, but he was over-ruled by TV executives.
Paula Abdul was dropped from the line-up of the reality show last month (Jan12), along with fellow panel member Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jones.
Antonio 'L.A.' Reid kept his place as a judge, and Cowell reveals he did everything he could to keep Abdul alongside him on the Fox series when negotiations began at the start of the year (12).
He tells Extra, "I would've liked to have kept her. She was very gracious and I said that to her. She understands it's business; it's never personal."
Speaking about Nicole Scherzinger's departure, he adds, "I don't think she's mad. I think she's disappointed."
Simon Cowell also dismissed reports he is offering new mother Beyonce a spot on the second series of the show, declaring: "I have no idea where this rumour came from. I read it online that I offered her $100 million a year. It's complete nonsense."

BELGRADE (Reuters) - A court in Montenegro ordered a journalist to serve four months in prison for libel on Wednesday in a case that could damage the country's reputation for media freedom as it prepares for talks on joining the European Union.
The case stems from a 2007 report in the Montenegrin weekly Monitor in which journalist Petar Komnenic alleged that authorities in the Adriatic country had placed a number of senior judges under illegal surveillance.
Komnenic was convicted of libel in February 2011 and ordered to pay a fine of 3,000 euros ($3,900) or serve four months in jail.
He refused to pay the fine and appealed to a higher court, which ruled he should serve community service rather than a prison sentence. But the Podgorica magistrate on Wednesday reinstated the prison term.
Rights groups in the former Yugoslav republic have expressed concern over the handling of the case. One of the judges cited in the report testified to the alleged surveillance and court files containing evidence went missing.
Komnenic is an editor with Podgorica-based TV Vijesti and also works as a stringer for Reuters.
The European Union has said it is following the case, and stressed that media freedom in Montenegro is a concern as it nears the start of accession talks in June this year. A spokesman for EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele was not immediately available for comment.
Montenegro last year decriminalized libel as part of a string of reforms to clinch accession talks, but the change came after Komnenic's conviction.
Komnenic's lawyer, Veselin Radulovic, said he had appealed to the Montenegrin High Court. He said Komnenic could also ask for a pardon from Montenegrin President Filip Vujanovic.
"But he won't do that," Radulovic said, "And I fully understand his motives as he is a journalist and was doing his job, working in the interests of the public."
Montenegro, a country of 680,000 people struggling with deep-rooted organized crime and corruption problems, ranks 107 out of 179 countries in the world press freedom index compiled by media watchdog Reporters Without Borders.

It may have been a blustery three-day weekend, but the more than 200 journeyman teams from all over the world were focused on one thing: competition.
In a tradition spanning 31 years, utilities from around the world sent their best linemen and apprentices to test their skills and safety knowledge in traditional lineman tasks and skills at the International Lineman's Rodeo in Overland Park, Kansas.
"All our Journeyman teams and apprentices competed safely and represented Southern California Edison well," said Robert E. Torres, SCE district manager, Victorville Service Center.
Other categories included pole climbing, CPR for apprentices and mystery events.
The first lineman's rodeo took place in 1984 and had 12 teams from Kansas and Missouri. Today, more than 200 teams and 250 apprentices take part in the annual event.
SCE teams also placed fifth in the Journeyman Mystery Event #1 (Hot Stick Event) and the Journeyman Overall - Investor-Owned Utilities. The Hot Stick Event winners included: Chris Podergois, Robert Barberena and Jason Jones. The Journeyman Overall - IOU team included: Alex Ramirez, Jeff Hinojos and Juan Romano.

Title - Freak
Author - Jennifer Hillier
Suspense magazine chose Jennifer Hillier's "truly frightening" debut, Creep, as one of 2011's best novels, while #1 bestselling author Jeffery Deaver cautioned "you better call in sick—you're not going anywhere until you finish reading." Now, Hillier returns to the Pacific Northwest college town where one killer's stranglehold has ebbed . . . but another sick mind has waited for the perfect moment to pick up where the terror left off.
Sitting alone in a maximum-security prison cell, Abby Maddox is a celebrity. Her claim to fame is the envy of every freak on the outside: she's the former lover of Ethan Wolfe, the killer who left more than a dozen dead women in his wake and nearly added Puget Sound State professor Sheila Tao to the tally. Now Abby, serving a nine-year sentence for slashing a police officer's throat in a moment of rage, has little human contact—save for the letters that pour in from demented fans, lunatics, and creeps. But a new wave of murders has given Abby a possible chance for a plea bargain—because this killer has been sending her love letters, and carving a message on the bodies of the victims: Free Abby Maddox.
Jerry Isaac will never forget the attack—or his attacker. The hideous scarring and tortured speech are daily reminders that the one-time Seattle PD officer, now a private investigator, is just lucky to be alive. Abby Maddox deserves to rot in jail—forever, as far as Jerry's concerned. But she alone may possess crucial evidence—letters from this newest killer—that could crack open the disturbing case. With the help of Professor Sheila Tao, seasoned police detective Mike Torrance, and intuitive criminology student Danny Mercy, Jerry must coax the shattering truth from isolated, dangerous Abby Maddox. Can he put the pieces together before Abby's number one fan takes another life in the name of a killer's perverted idea of justice?
Okay. So we know from Creep that Ethan is gone. Abby Maddox is far from it.
I enjoyed this sequel, it was interesting and captivating. It was the right amount of suspense writing mixed with hope to make you keep reading.
A great story BUT
I already read it in Creep.
I couldn't help but think that Freak was a bit of a rehash of a book I already read and adored. Like I say I still enjoyed Freak fiercely, just not as much as the previous book.
I was more captivated by the story of Abby and Ethan, and I'd like a prequel book about how they met.
This story for me held very little resolve and that's another thing that bothered me. Either this needs a book three or it was slightly anti climatic.
Like I say, good book but not as good as the brilliance that was Creep!
I really like this author though and I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for more from her.

You can check if a command is loaded with '(if c:my-func ... or with atoms-family , but you would still have to know in advance the filename containing your function definition. Or you would have to instruct your lisp file to set a global variable / list / array with it's path in it. Of course if you have many files that use a function called test that would be a little problematic. Also possible would be consistency between name of function and name of lisp file , function c:mylisp1 -> mylisp1.lsp. Whatever way , it can be done but think it has to be by design. Else you have scan for all lisp files , open them and see if a certain function lives inside... so if you want it , you have to plan it.

There are definitely times where I get the sense that someone I am with is holding back and not saying something they would like to express but don't feel they can or should at that moment. I catch myself doing this as well with one particular person but on occasion with others as well. It happens when I am not certain where I stand with someone or aren't sure how they will react to what I would like to say. But then later on, I usually wish I had gone ahead and said whatever it was anyway because I'm not sure I will have an opportunity to do so down the road.
I used to keep my thoughts to myself more so than I do now. I have learned from this feeling of regret that I should speak my mind when I have the opportunity, but I still hold back at times. It's that uncertainty that gets to me every time. I am definitely a pretty straight-forward person who doesn't play games. You don't typically have to wonder how I feel about something or someone because I will usually tell you, although I will do it tactfully when necessary. I don't like having to play guessing games trying to figure out where someone else's head is at, so I like it when other people are the same way with me and just speak their mind, good or bad.
I understand that there may be other legitimate reasons people hold back expressing their feelings, thoughts, or desires, but I want to eliminate the person feeling uncertain of what I will think or how I will feel as a reason whenever possible. Therefore, I try not to hold back my thoughts most of the time. There are times where I probably say more than I should, but I'd rather err on the side of sharing too much of what I am thinking than not enough. That way people aren't making their own assumptions about what I am thinking and feeling, which could be incorrect. So while I understand the reasons to keep things to oneself sometimes, I wish certain people wouldn't hold back nearly as often as they do. That way I won't need or want to make assumptions about what they are thinking either, or be left wondering.

Girls Hockey: Hastings rolls past Farmington in opener
Danielle Welch opened the season spending five minutes in the penalty box.
She responded with a five of her own.
The senior, who received a five-minute major for roughing 29 seconds into the Hastings High School girls hockey team's season opener against Farmington Friday night, scored five goals to lead the Raiders to a 7-2 win.
Welch, who led the Raiders in scoring last season with 47 points (32 goals, 15 assists), picked up right where she left off.
"She's the total package on the ice,"?Hastings head coach Jeff Corkish said. "Luckily, (Welch) worked her butt off and scored five, otherwise it would have been tougher for us."
The Raiders, who boast just five seniors on the roster this season, are young.?And it showed on the ice Friday night, where Hastings racked up 16 penalties.
"I?am glad we won, but it wasn't the best way to go about it,"?Corkish said. "We didn't play very smart and played undisciplined hockey."
The Raiders didn't field five players on the ice until the 7:04 mark of the first period after the opening Welch penalty and found themselves down 1-0.
But at 9:12 of the first period, the Raiders got their first goal of the season by freshman Courtney Boucher on the power play to tie the game at 1-1. Welch scored four straight goals, two in the first and two to start the second, to put the game out of reach.
Senior Nicole Chorney added four assists in the game and freshman Brittney Huneke scored the other goal.

|Recovery from botched compaction
|Sat, 10 Apr 2010 19:24:38 GMT
Hi, This is sort of a pre-emptive question as the compaction I'm doing hasn't failed yet but I expect it to any time now. I have a cluster which has been storing user profile data for a client. Recently I've had to go back and reload all the data again. I wasn't watching diskspace, and on one of the nodes it went above 50% (which I recall was bad), to somewhere around 70%. I expect to most back with a compaction (as most of the data was the same so a compaction should remove old copies), and went ahead and started one with nodeprobe compact (using 0.5.0 on this cluster). However, I do see that the disk usage is growing (it's at 91% now). So when the disk fills up and this compaction crashes what can I do? I assume get a bigger disk, shut down the node, move the data and restart will work, but do I have other options? Which files can I ignore (ie, can I not move any of the *-tmp-* files)? Will my system be in a corrupt state? This machine is one in a set of 6, and since I didn't choose tokens initially, they are very lopsided (ie, some use 20% of their disk, others 60-70%). If I were to start moving tokens around would the machines short of space be able to anti-compact without filling up? or does anti-compaction like compaction require 2x disk space? Thanks, -Anthony -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anthony Molinaro <firstname.lastname@example.com>

DMAE is made from natural sources, and can be found in small amounts in many different oily fish such as sardines. It contains two main active ingredients, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, and dimethylethanolamine. These are naturally occurring precursors of the compound Choline.
The active ingredients are naturally occurring precursors of the compound Choline. Choline contributes to normal lipid metabolism, the maintenance of normal liver function and normal homocysteine metabolism.
DMAE is ideal for anyone taking part in intense, physical activity such as endurance based sports.

Excellent product taken with pre workout gives me great focus and clear my brain also use before bed get deeper sleep.Goes Well With:Pre workout, choline bitartrate and l tyrosine
Not a strong stimulant but definatelly makes you more awake. I use it in my coffee (bulletproof) to get a longer term boost to compliment coffe's short term.Goes Well With:coffee
I've used this compound in capsules I've taken for several years - and I swear by it as a useful 'nootropic' (brain-power enhancing compound). I make capsules containing: phosphatidyl serine, DMAE, glucoronolactone and DHEA. Several of my friends and I take these and the improvements in our mental acuteness has been marked! Just a little word from a chemist, though. When you say: "It contains two main active ingredients, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, and dimethylethanolamine." I'm afraid you have misunderstood! They are both the *same* chemical - (CH3)2NCH2CH2OH. There are simply several valid ways to call it. :)
this is good stuff, no it doesn't taste 'Nice' but isn't as bad as people say if you expect it to be sharp (like an extremely sharp raw lemon) then you'll be prepared for the taste. get ready for a DMAE craze, well done MyProtein teamGoes Well With:water and MyProtein creatine Monohydrate
I had some experience with DMAE. On the first day I have got headache from the product. I started with a high dose. It should start with a quarter teaspoon or less and gradually increase the quantity. I felt more energy and better concentration after 2 days. It's really good stuff, but it does not replace protein or carb, but work very well with them.Goes Well With:It's very sour so goes well with juice.
"Took it 2hrs before workout - nearly fell asleep under the dumbels. right. what do we do? we took it b4 the sleep the night after - it made me fall asleep faster,. (this is not a sleepers kind of stuff,it doesnt make u wanna sleep. its just a bit easier, and id say perfectly enough) AND verry important point - next morning i could still feel it, now this is when it improves your mental focus, its after you get up from bed. lasted up untill 4pm untill i went to gym. then supposedly i just worked it out, and felt myself ordinarry afterwards. GET IT"
"Great product to increase concentration and calmness. But take it easy, you are manipulating neurotransmitters and that must be done very cautiously!"
Have been taking for a couple of weeks as a caffeine substitute at work - have definitely felt an improvement in focus and alertness.
"Side effects Reported side effects associated with DMAE use include gastrointestinal disturbances, bad body odor, drowsiness, sedation, retardation, confusion, increased blood pressure, depression, and hypomania. DMAE may cause a decrease in the levels of some choline metabolites. Choline supplementation may help to correct this. DMAE should be avoided under all circumstances by pregnant women. I ve been hit by the gastrointestinal disturbance every time I consume early in the day on an empty stomach And it also makes me very drowsy as I am on my feet all day it's not a good feeling. I find it's best taken with or after food and before bed. Defiantly has helped with recovery of the CNS the day after my heavy training sessions."
"Make sure you take this stuff in very small about, 500mg or less. You can't mega dose on this stuff, it gives you the worst headache ever, seriously. At first it may not seem all that bad, but do any exercises which workout the upper body, like bicep curls, and BAM, the pain kicks right in. Plus it lasts for about 3 days, so it doesn't just go."

The trademark savory aroma wafting from the vendor stalls at Reading Terminal Market has reached all the way to the Midwest.
The American Planning Association (APA), a Chicago-based nonprofit, tapped the terminal as one of the "10 Great Public Spaces in America for 2014." The group will make its official announcement this morning.
The list is part of its yearly "Great Places in America" program, which acknowledges the country's best streets, public spaces and neighborhoods. The group makes its choices based on a specific criteria, such as places ingrained with culture, historical significance, community involvement and vision.
Carol Rhea, APA president-elect, said what stood out about the terminal was the 80-odd vendor spaces, "and all of those are 100 percent locally owned and run."
"What I look for, what my husband and I crave, is authenticity and local culture and flavor," she said. "We love the food items that are unique to Philadelphia. That's what attracts us. This is local, this is Philly, this is different."
Paul Steinke, Reading Terminal general manager, called the terminal a combination of "history and food and culture, the likes of which you don't find under one roof in many places in this country."
In regards to the terminal's vision, so far, he said, the market has created new vendor spaces. But expansion-wise, it's maximized its footprint.
So, why not build an addition on top of the market?
"It's an idea that has been talked about informally," Steinke said. "And it's something where we'd have to partner with the Convention Center, and there's really no immediate plans to do that, but it's a very intriguing vision."

MOSCOW, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Shares in Otkritie, one of the country's largest banks, nodded lower on Wednesday after the central bank launched one of the biggest bail outs in its history to save the struggling lender.
The Russian Central Bank said on Tuesday it planned to tap its own funds in order to become a major investor in Otkritie, which has suffered a sustained run on its deposits amid worries about its loan portfolio.
Otkritie shares briefly rose 0.75 percent at the market opening, but later shed 1 percent to 1,327 roubles ($22.57) as of 0713 GMT, compared with a closing price of 1,340 roubles in the previous session. ($1 = 58.7882 roubles) (Reporting by Andrey Ostroukh; Writing by Jack Stubbs)

A package of measures described by the Department for Education and Skills as "the most radical reform of London schools since the Second World War" was announced yesterday by Tony Blair.
Speaking from personal experience, he said: "No parent or child in one of the world's finest capital cities should be left without a choice of a good primary or secondary school."
As Charles Clarke, the Education Secretary, explained: "Too many London parents are anguished and fearful, rather than proud or confident, when choosing their child's secondary school.
"And there are far too many who feel that either expensive private education or lengthy journeys across the city from home to school are the only satisfactory answer."
The reasons included dismal exam results - 40 London secondary schools, one in 10 of the total, face closure in three years unless they improve significantly - poor teaching and leadership, high truancy rates and some of the worst behaviour to be found in classrooms anywhere.
Mr Clarke said the solution was not necessarily more resources but "a visible and radical break with the past to transform aspiration and create a culture of achievement".
In a document long on rhetoric, there were some specific proposals but few were new.
Mr Blair highlighted the fact that 20 new secondary schools would be built over the next five years. However, the document acknowledged that they were dictated by population growth.
Mr Blair said there would also be at least 30 new city academies - "independent schools funded by the state" - and 15 new sixth form colleges. A total of 290 comprehensives would be redesignated as specialist schools.
There would be more say for parents; a "tailor-made" plan to turn around every struggling secondary school; "zero tolerance" of violence and disruption in the classroom and more incentives for teachers to remain in the capital.
Damian Green, the Tory education spokesman, dismissed the package as "more hype than radical reform".
The teaching unions agreed. "Strong on vision but weak on delivery," said the National Association of Head Teachers. "A mish-mash of education provision that will not help parental choice but only confuse the issue further," added the National Association of School Masters Union of Women Teachers. "Daft," concluded the National Union of Teachers.

When Jonathan Rowden and his four piece band went into the studio earlier this year to record their debut album Becoming, they went in not really knowing how these batch of original tunes would turn out. "The experience we all shared during that 12 hour lockout was a sort of aesthetic anamnesis: when we were done, we couldn't overcome the feeling that before this, we didn't really know what these songs were about, despite having written them and performed them for months," admits Rowden. "It was like discovering something that had always been there, like a memory we didn't have eyes to see. Actively participating in the moment – the sound, energy, and momentum – stepping into the character of these pieces was like taking a deep breath and 'being' for a moment – and finding that is what becoming really is."
The saxophonist, composer and bandleader had assembled this band that includes Ryan Pryor (piano, 88 key Fender Rhodes "suitcase"), James Yoshizawa (drums, bodhran, pandeiro, percussion) and Chris Hon (bass) thirteen months earlier and over time road tested these compositions until they became less like notated music on sheets of paper and more like organisms. Becoming — out this past spring on Orenda Records — is the end product of a band that stopped thinking so much and began to let instinct take over. That's not something I got just from reading Rowden's remarks, because the music speaks this loud and clear.
Yes, the Jonathan Rowden Group is a spiritual group, but with their uncommon approach to jazz with unusual percussion, the tactical use of electronics and avant-garde impressions, "spiritual" doesn't equate to "sounds like Coltrane." They achieve this feeling in their own way.
There's real emotion in these strains, strains that are both long and short, but you wouldn't necessarily know that just by listening. Compositions flow into each other, Becoming is really just one big suite connected to each other (one song, "The Long Road Home," is split up into three parts to place emphasis on movements.)
That organic flow the band conjured up from this collection of distinctive tunes makes the first eight minutes that traverses across "Becoming," "Snowing In Paradise" and "Entrance" whip by so quickly. The first track is a sax drone, a ghoulish premonition that seems best suited for a haunted house and can fool you into thinking this is going to be an electro-acoustic, free jazz record. But Rowden, as it becomes apparent over the course of this record, uses dissonance as one of many means to shape mood, not to dominate it. As this murmuring subsides, a two chord ostinato emerges to signal the transition to "Snowing," a first sign of jazz as most people know it, but with spurts of drum 'n' bass inspired galloping rhythms, interrupted by a pretty bass solo. When Rowden finally gets around to fully express himself on tenor, it's a purposeful, streaming outflow of notes with the tone of Ben Webster but the composed passion of Joe Henderson, and he peaks in sync with the song's ending.
With "Entrance" serving as a bridge, "The Long Road Home I" is a long, slow procession of soulful notes buttressed by Pryor's Rhodes, while "The Long Road Home II" features Pryor's same, gleaming electric piano used as chimes set against the expanding rustle of Yoshizawa's drums. A bell-shaped song that peaks in the middle, Rowden let's the rhythm section set the pace, and serves to put punctuation on the high point. For the third part of "The Long Road Home" trilogy, all timbres come from an exotic variety of percussion until the entry of a sparse piano about two minutes in. Pryor's Rhodes and Rowden's sax discreetly combine to strike a spectral sentiment.
Two extended performances follow. A slow burning blues swing defines "27-1" with Rowden's most expressive saxophone yet, and he stretches out his sound to reach all four corners of the harmonic square. Out of nowhere, Pryor comes crashing in with a real dirty-toned Rhodes. That spurs Rowden to go from expressive to downright heated. The song floats to a gentle landing, which segues right into "Autonation." Composed by Pryor, it's a melody that's more hopeful than the prior one, and Hon's poetic bass solo sets the stage for Pryor's piano statements, his best of the album. Another motif is used as a springboard for Rowden's own asides, highlighted by a sax/drums display of funky inspiration.
By pulling it together from sources equally from jazz and non-jazz worlds and an attention to sound over scoring, Becoming transcends simply being a set of songs to rise to the level of 'becoming' this breathing, ardent entity. The Jonathan Rowden Group achieves spiritual unity uncommon in much of jazz today and even rarer in a debut album.

There are different weight loss diets and plans to choose from. You have to choose the one you can live with; after all you can't eat cabbage soup for the rest of your life. Look at the following points while evaluating weight loss programs.
1) Is the program based on one particular food? Do you have to eat one type of food at the expense of others? If yes, then this is not a sustainable diet.
2) Will you have to eat very little with that program? Do not choose starvation diets. Starvation diet will decrease your metabolic rate so in the end you will gain more than what you will lose with the program.
simply weight loss, online weight loss programs, weight loss for women,
3) Is it a balanced diet? In order to lose weight and be healthy you need you have a diet balanced with proteins, carbs and fats.
4) Will you be able to eat at different gatherings, restaurants, client lunches? You should be given some healthy eating guidelines so you'll be able to choose the right foods when eating out.
5) Do you need to buy regularly some supplements and weight loss meals? There are no miracle ways to lose weight and maintain it. Supplements are just weight loss aids; you still have to follow common sense weight loss guidelines such as decreasing the caloric intake and exercising. Some supplements, Ephedra, for example, can be dangerous for health
Buying meals can be very expensive. It is always better to cook your own weight loss promoting meals. Make sure the weight loss plan you want to follow makes sense to you otherwise you will waste your money.
Another thing is do not set a goal to lose weight at any price: you don't want to lose your health in the process. If it happens that the price is too high to pay. Follow a program that promotes health as well.
Also you don't have to spend a fortune to lose weight. If you are really determined to do so investing in an exercise DVD and a weight-loss eBook might be all you need to lose weight. Make sure you can easily follow your program even when you lose weight so you'll be able to maintain your ideal weight.

TheToneKing.com reviews the '85 Reissue Whiteface RAT (2/17/10)
ProCo 1985 Whiteface Reissue RAT
~ Written by Marc Johnson and The Tone King for TheToneKing.com
From listening to my opening licks you can tell that something brutal came my way for me to check out. For old school players the ProCo RAT was the stomp box of the 80s. Well, ProCo has reissued their little baby with the ProCo '85 Whiteface Reissue RAT. I use the word 'reissue' loosely because, unlike most reissues, this is essentially the same pedal that you would've bought back in the day.
When I pulled the gain almost all the way back, I had a blues tone that would make any bend wail. Many distortion pedals 'die' when you try to back off of the gain, but this one let the notes come through with amazing clarity.
The thing that really got me going, though, was when I started rolling the gain back up again. The first thing I thought of was Van Halen circa '78-'85 and instantly wished that I had taken the time to learn "Eruption" all the way through. It had all the articulation and dimension of Eddie's 'Brown' sound with a real bite.
When I turned down the filter knob, that let loose some of the blistering high frequencies. As I moved in the other direction, it took a bit off of the top but still left enough behind to cut through the mix. This little beast may look like a pedal, but it sounds more like a preamp.
I think the thing that distinguishes the RAT from most other pedals is the fact that it's not a one trick pony. You have your "metal" pedals and your "blues" pedals, but when you try and push them, they leave your guitar sounding like it's playing out of a 10 watt amp inside of a garbage can. The RAT gives you a range of sounds to play with. And guess what? They all sound good!
ProCo's website claims that they didn't want to simply make a reissue that sounded like the RAT. They just wanted to make the RAT, and that's exactly what they did.

Industry executives say it's no longer enough in the fiercely competitive $54 billion U.S. soft-drink business to build a brand using just TV ads, sports sponsorships and under-the-cap promotions.
"In the new brand environment, it's critical to have consumers identify with the brand as much as possible and to find ways that make that connection even stronger," said Michael Guth, brand manager for Surge.
In addition to ads from Leo Burnett USA, Chicago, the rollout of Surge, a year-old rival to Pepsi-Cola Co.'s Mountain Dew, has been supported with product sampling and a contest that included the giveaway of 39 refurbished Checker Cabs.
"Our strategy has been to continually reinforce the Surge experience in as direct a way as possible," said Mr. Guth.
Earlier this year Coca-Cola sent out 400,000 mailings with coupons and compact discs. In 1998, the marketer will not only mail out CDs -- 300,000 of them featuring songs from groups such as Third Eye Blind, Foo Fighters and Moby -- but will include a CD-ROM "studio" with which teens can create their own music.
For convenience stores, the company created a barrel cooler with a hockey game on the lid that is played with a Surge cap for a puck. When a player scores a goal, the barrel is programmed to yell "Surge."
Other marketing programs include a scratch-and-win promotion tied to the Winter Olympics and a link with the National Hockey League. In addition, two new TV spots from Burnett will hit in February, continuing the theme, "Feed the rush."
The burst of promotional activity accompanies the expansion of the citrus-flavor soft-drink's distribution from 60% to about 90% of the country. New markets include New York and Los Angeles.
Coca-Cola spent $12.4 million in measured media for Surge during the first nine months of 1997, according to Competitive Media Reporting, while Pepsi-Cola spent $32 million on Mountain Dew, more than it spent on the brand for all of 1996.
Tom Pirko, president of consultancy Bevmark, said Surge activities are helping Mountain Dew.
"Mountain Dew has had a fabulous year. Part of that is Coke is helping them to build the segment," he said.
According to Beverage Digest, Mountain Dew ranked fourth among the top 10 soft-drink brands through Sept. 27, with a 6.3% market share and a volume increase of 15.2% over the same period a year ago. Surge increased share in some of its initial markets but decreased in others through Sept. 28, with a range from 0.6% of the market in Detroit to 3.4% in Seattle/Tacoma.
For Cherry Coke, a decade-old minor brand that gets little ad support, Coca-Cola is launching a new Web site that encourages user interactivity. Beginning this month, the site (www.cherrycoke.com) will feature four monthly competitions asking visitors to create, among others, a movie treatment and a design for a computer screen-saver. Winners will get their own page on the site.
The Web competition was developed by MediaCircus Interactive Advertising, New York. Cliff Freeman & Partners handles creative for Cherry Coke; it produced three new TV spots this year with the teen-targeted theme, "Do something

Vulture Tries to Convince Alfonso Cuarón to Direct the Harry Potter Spinoff
"No flying on brooms and stuff like that, right?"
We at Vulture have a vested interest in making sure Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is as fantastic as possible. Not just because we're Harry Potter fans, but because we've already given a great deal of thought to what the film should cover and who should be in it. So when we saw Alfonso Cuarón at a breakfast celebrating his Oscar-contender Gravity yesterday, we made it our mission to convince him to direct the Harry Potter spinoff. (After all, Cuarón's Prisoner of Azkaban is the best of the Potter bunch.) Our first selling point: The movie would not take place in space.
"Walking, walking," Cuarón approved with a laugh. He's cited this as a prerequisite for his next film before: The characters must be firmly planted on Earth. "No flying on brooms and stuff like that, right?" he asked. We assured him there are enough means of transportation in the magical world (floo powder, portkeys, and flying carpets for this earlier era), that brooms could go. But we requested that he at least be open to hippogriff rides. It's important that Newt Scamander, the central character, take flight on that fantastic beast in particular, since his mom breeds them. "I know the hippogriff," Cuarón agreed. "I can deal with hippogriffs. Yeah. That's okay."
Next, Cuarón wanted to know Newt's age. Early twenties, no kids. "A woman?" No, a man. "Why not a woman?" Good question — take it up with J.K. Rowling! All of this intrigued Cuarón, but it wasn't quite enough to seal the deal — yet. "Akzaban was fun to make, and when I did it, I was invited to do the next one, but I didn't want to overstay the welcome, because it was such an experience," the director said. "But now? Why not? I do have stuff that I want to do [next], but a J.K. thing ..." He took a moment to consider, then laughed, realizing we were ahead of ourselves. "They haven't called me yet! They haven't decided to invite me!" So perhaps all he needs is that invitation to truly weigh the option. "Looking forward! At least to see it, because nobody's invited me."

OverviewAfter arriving at Ellis Island, immigrants endured a medical inspection, then waited often hours nervously to begin a legal examination. The legal examination in the Registry Room represented the greatest challenge at Ellis Island. Immigrants needed to remember the information they had submitted weeks earlier to the clerk in the port where they began their trip. In this activity, students will play the role of immigrants being questioned by legal inspectors.
By the end of this activity, students will be able to:
• Describe some of the difficulties immigrants faced when processed at Ellis Island.
• Identify with some of the hopes and reservations (feelings) of immigrants arriving to the United States.
• Discuss some of the reasons why the American government questioned immigrants to be granted entry.
Manifest Record:
Before immigrants got on board, the shipping company clerks recorded information from passengers that will be verified when arriving at Ellis Island. This extensive survey asked immigrants a list of approximately thirty different questions, ranging from a person's birth and occupation, to whether the passengers declared themselves to be insane or anarchists. Immigrant officials at Ellis Island referred to the responses of the manifest records for verification, often speed-firing nine-to-ten questions in sixty-seconds. Based on the answers, immigrants will either be admitted or be detained (held) for further questioning.
View actual manifests at http://www.ellisisland.org/.
A blank manifest record, resembling one that immigrant officials used at Ellis Island is available as part of this lesson and on the "For Teachers" page on the Ellis Island website.
- Pencils
- Paper
- Blank Manifest Record
Note: This activity requires that "manifest information" (explained later) be taken before the field trip. Or if time and with enough supervision, ask students these questions on the boat. Answers need to be recorded on a "manifest chart" or similar sheet.
Head to the Great Hall, on the second floor, toward the wooden desks. Inform students that they will pretend to be immigrants about to be "checked in" to the United States. Pair students into groups of three-to-four and inform them that they will be a family waiting to be questioned. Explain that, during this "checking in" process, immigrants had to answer several questions before they were admitted to the country. Today, they will experience what it was like for immigrants.
Have students line up in two lines as they approach the wooden podiums. Using the already-completed "manifest chart," ask the student some of or all of the questions asked of them before (i.e.: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" or "what city do you live in?" See "manifest chart"). One line should be established for each inspector (teacher, chaperone, etc.) The questions can be interchangeable to perhaps reflect what is going on in current events or to topic currently discussed in class.
Explain that the students will have to answer the questions asked before the trip. The group will line up as a family, but will answer separately when it is their turn to be interrogated. Also, inform students that whoever provides a different answer to one written on the sheet will be sent to political detention (or in "pretend trouble").
After all students had their turn, the following questions should be asked and discussed:
- How did it feel to be processed at Ellis Island? How do you think the immigrants felt as they were standing on line?
- For those students detained, ask: What do you think it was like for passengers not allowed to immigrate to the United States?
- How hard/difficult was it to answer questions, even easy questions, under pressure?
- Now imagine that you and the inspector speak different languages! What problems might that cause? (Note: Luckily, interpreters/translators were there but it still would have been difficult to speak through an interpreter).

I have a sneaking suspicion that carbon dating is a fundamentally flawed yardstick. Too many crazy anachronisms have occured. I find it incredulous that 400 million years ago we had such technology. 20000 years ago .... perhaps, but 400 mil?
It could be that they are all clever hoaxes as yet unrustled, but I really don't trust carbon dating. I'm sure there has to be other factors influencing the decay of carbon atoms other than the mere passage of time, things like pressure, heat,charge etc.

There is something missing from the story.

My understanding of the comment that was made by the President was that he was buried with the traditional Muslim rituals. I took that as his body being prepared and cleansed according to Muslim law? I did not take the burial at sea to be included in that statement. I was thinking his body was handled according to the faith and THEN disposed at sea. Does this make sense to anyone?

Gilbert Stanley Underwood defined the rustic style architecture in the National Park Service. Bryce Canyon Lodge is Underwood's only remaining, completely original structure in the Grand Circle. In October 2009, Bryce Canyon park rangers respond to a call "We have a fire in the lodge, flames & smoke are boiling out of the eaves." Because the historic lodge has a properly installed and maintained fire sprinkler system, the fire was stopped.
Learning Center
The National Park Service is the nation's steward for over 32,000 structures, many of them historic, many national icons, such as the Statue of Liberty, and over 80 million artifacts. These structures include hotels, motels, cabins, visitor centers, interpretive centers, and historical buildings, such as Independence Hall and many former presidents' homes.
Prevention of ignition is the first line of defense against fire in NPS buildings and is the priority of the Structural Fire Management program.

Biomass boilers are quite a different thing from most of the stoves we sell. The biomass boilers which we discuss here are designed to be kept in a utility room and look and function much more like a conventional boiler. As the name suggests a biomass boiler runs off biomass (wood logs, wood chips, wood pellets, etc) and produces hot water. The hot water is usually stored in a heat accumulator. These boilers are very efficient as a system of electronics snesors and fans control the combustion of the fuel, achieving over 90% efficiency ratings and low emission levels. Some have a large firebox which is manually filled and others have augers which feed fuel from a fuel hopper into the boiler as needed. They are all automated to some extent, many being programmable just like modern gas boilers. The term gasification boiler refers to the fact that the fuel is converted mostly to gases which are then combusted in the boiler.

Dear John,
This all sounds very exciting.
I am sure most of us would be happy with whichever conference venue in Europe the Conference Committee judges to be the most appropriate.
Best Wishes
From: "Gruzelier, John H" <j.gruzelier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: esnr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: <esnr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [esnr] Baltic States Forum Feedback Report Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 12:24:53 +0100
Baltic Forum, Riga, Latvia, 2-3 July, 2004.
Society Prototype?
Professor Paulis Butlers hosted the first neurofeedback meeting in the Baltic States at the Riga Stradins University, where he is Assistant Professor of Medical Physics. It is to his credit and considerable entrepreneurial skills and dedication to the field (he part funded the meeting himself) that he assembled participants from Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, and Russia, while I presented on behalf of the society. Around 60 people attended for the two day meeting.
The meeting represented to me a prototype of how the Society could develop, to embrace applied neuroscience and encourage cross fertilisation between clinical therapeutic and optimal performance approaches on the one hand, and basic science on the other.
The meeting began with the current perspective on the brain mechanisms underpinning operant conditioning by Professor Liga Aberberga-Augskalne, who heads the Department of Neurophysiology. This was an insightful introduction. This was followed by presentations by medical students from the Department of General Medicine who under the supervision of Paulis Butlers have examined how SMR training and suppressing theta in healthy volunteers also elevated alpha2, which is implicated in working memory, and shifted the alpha peak upwards.. These were mature presentations and I have encouraged them to submit the SMR paper for publication. Further analysis may also shed light on learners versus nonlearners. The results contribute to the debate on specificity of bandwidth training.
After morning tea I presented our work with alpha/theta training, to include our latest findings in enhancing ballroom and Latin dance performance in competitive university dancers, and in elevating mood and well being in withdrawn students. Professor Klonowski from the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw then presented his advanced methods of EEG nonlinear complexity analysis, which incidentally could provide a new metric for neurofeedback training. In identifying sleep stages in the EEG the procedures were superior to trained experts. To conclude the morning session Dr Helena Ciavko introduced stabilography methods from St Petersburg. The participant steps on a bathroom scales type stand and a spectrum of movements is recorded. There are clinical applications such as tremor and applications with dancers and sportsmen. Again there are implications for biofeedback developments which Professor Butlers will consider.
In the afternoon we were treated to a fascinating, inspiring and very moving introduction to the pathfinding 'coordination dynamics therapy' for spinal cord injury of Professor Giselher Schalow, formerly of Switzerland, but now based in Tatin, Estonia. He outlined his highly creative theory and then proceeded to introduce us to two patients, one in a wheel chair and another a Norwegian youth who hit his head on the bottom of a river when diving in, and is a paraplegic as a result, but following very arduous training is now able to walk and even run with assistance. We were given demonstrations of the approach, and alas time quickly ran out. There is not space to go into this now, but the aim is to create new neurological connections, and it was clear to this psychophysiologist, how important topdown influences were in forging these neuronal changes. Clearly much potential can be derived from combining our techniques to achieve these goals. It is food for thought that his highly innovative methods, which fly in the face of contemporary neurophysiological thinking, were not acceptable in Switzerland, and have found a receptive home in Estonia.
Perhaps our society could provide an important political role in science to counteract conservative constraints.
The next day was mainly devoted to the work of Professor Dangole Zemaitye and colleagues. Professor Zemaitye heads an Institute for Psychophysiology and Rehabilitation in Lithuania. Apparently we first rubbed shoulders in Montreal at the founding meeting of the International Organisation of Psychophysiology in the early 1980s. 11 papers were presented focussing on one aspect of their work, consisting of the manifold clinical implications of heart rate variability for diagnosis and rehabilitation. Highly sophisticated methods of analysis were demonstrated with a clinical yield not available in conventional HRV analyses. This very expert clinical team would provide an ideal setting for a RCT of heart rate coherence training for cardiovascular disorders.
The forum ended with Professor Olegs Timms work in instating Swiss methods of neurostimulation and neural prosthesis with cochlear implants in Latvian children.
There was throughout the Forum a splendid spirit of openmindedness, and opportunities for neurofeedback and biofeedback were widely discussed. Professor Butlers is to be congratulated for his initiative in planning the meeting. There is to be a followup via internet later in the year - see our website.
Offers from all the Baltic States to host a society meeting were received with enthusiasm, and I have received again a request today from Professor Schalow to host the next meeting in Tatin. I would very much like us to go there.
We also took in the jazz festival, which just happened to on at the time, and we missed the opera festival by only a few days! These are very beautiful cities, and I believe Tatin is an absolute jewel. In Riga there is unspoiled architecture going back to the middle ages, art noveau turn of the century buildings, and a river with handsome bridges. It is very green everywhere. Prices are affordable before the EU takes hold, as are flights booked in advance. The food is particularly excellent and cheap.
How about the Baltic States for our next meeting!

Sober Solutions
Dear Alibi,
I want to respond to Carolyn Carlson's article ["Close to Home," Nov. 15-21]. A constant theme was reiterated throughout: Drug addicts are eyesores to the public. Carlson reported that some local politicians and residents of the International District at the Thursday, Nov. 1 meeting were disrespectful to experts speaking on behalf of the truth regarding chemically addicted humans in our community. You do not have to have an addict in your family to care about social issues. Chemically addicted humans often suffer from trauma, mental illness and homelessness. Instead of fighting for who ends up with the "burden of unsightly people and a rehab place" in the NE Heights or International District, realize that more prevention, education, treatment and access to health care will help communities as a whole.
A proactive approach readers can take is to write to UNM Hospital CEO Steve McKernan, Gov. Susana Martinez, congressional representatives and district politicians. Ask them to continue the plan to move the ASAP Program to the International District without delay and bring more preventative services and access to health care to Albuquerque and surrounding areas. Go to nmlegis.gov to access a legislator near you to voice your opinion. Help a social problem that affects not only individuals but the larger community.

Quakers were long associated with iron working and manufacturing both in England and colonial America. In the early 1720s, substantial deposits of high-grade iron ore were discovered around the periphery of the Chesapeake Bay. Several English companies sent groups of skilled and unskilled laborers to build bloomeries and furnaces in Maryland and Virginia. Chief among these was the Principio Company. Governor Alexander Spotswood recognized iron's financial potential as well. While he hired German workmen to operate his furnaces and forges, most of these early ironworks utilized Quaker employees who had for years been involved with the English iron furnaces. Great iron ore deposits were present in the Quaker colony of Pennsylvania and that region abounded with highly-skilled craftsmen engaged in a variety of iron-related occupations. Men of the Quaker faith dominated 18th-century manufacturing in the Chesapeake region. Because demand for their talents exceeded the number of men available to fill the jobs, many of these skilled workers were itinerant, relocating to other facilities upon receipt of more lucrative job offers.
The construction and early operation of Principio's Accokeek Furnace was overseen by Quaker John England who died 1734. When James Hunter of Falmouth commenced producing iron and other manufactured items around 1759, he hired Quakers who possessed the necessary skills to design, build, and operate the water-powered equipment. Some were also talented gunsmiths, engravers, and blacksmiths. As a result of employment opportunities at Hunter's facility, at least two waves of Quaker workers settled in Stafford. The first of these, which included Daniel Antram (1721-1819), George Fallis (1727-1798), Robert Painter (1738-after 1814), John Strode (c.1735-c.1820), and Joseph Wright, along their families, came here c.1759/60. On Nov. 27, 1760 Isaac, Jacob, and Mary Fallis and Robert Painter of Stafford witnessed a wedding at Hopewell Meeting House[1] near Winchester (Wayland 242). These early Quakers bought land and settled in the Hartwood area of Stafford. Two other Quakers who seem to have arrived with this early group were Samuel Chester and Thomas Branson.[2] In the late 1760s, William Allason listed both men in his Falmouth business ledger and noted that Chester was a farmer in the Poplar Settlement in Stafford (Allason, G-182, F-37). This first influx was followed in 1776 by a larger contingent, who were recruited from New Jersey and Pennsylvania to work at Hunter's rapidly expanding works.
By coincidence, the arrival of this second group occurred at the same time Charles Carter's (1738-1796) administrators were selling his land to satisfy his numerous creditors and settle claims on his father's estate. The newly-arrived Quakers purchased tracts of Carter property, establishing their own settlement. Much of their land was along Poplar Road, though their holdings extended over to what are today Stefaniga and Mountain View roads. This area became known as the Quaker or Poplar Settlement. Some of the Quakers, including the Holloways, also owned land on Aquia Run. In all likelihood, the names of some of these folks have been lost.
There being no meeting house in Stafford when they arrived, these Quakers joined with the previously-mentioned Hopewell Monthly Meeting. Traveling between Stafford and Winchester was an ordeal, and by 1769 the Potomac Run Quakers were seeking permission to establish their own meeting house nearer their homes. On Aug. 7, 1769, Joseph Wright, Daniel Antram, John Antram and their families requested this permission. Hopewell named a committee to look into the matter, but they decided to defer action until they could determine whether these families were rightfully living within Hopewell's geographical limits. The Hopewell committee was also concerned "whether they had complied or were likely to comply with their contracts in purchase of the lands they were settled upon, and whether they were capable of holding a meeting" (Wayland 81).
The committee was also concerned that the Potomac Run families might be within the limits of the Fairfax Monthly Meeting, but in October 1769 it was determined that they were not (Wayland 82). In November 1770, a committee from Hopewell was sent to Stafford to conduct further investigation. This group finally determined that the Potomac Run Friends "seemed in a likely way to comply with their contracts reputably, and were, if they proved careful, a sufficient number and compactly enough settled to hold a meeting for worship reputably" (Wayland 82). Exactly when the Friends began meeting in Stafford isn't known. Hopewell's records from 1771-1779 are missing, but on Sept. 4, 1780, Hopewell determined that Stafford "be further indulged as heretofore," indicating that meetings had been conducted for some time in Stafford.
Robert Painter donated the land for the meeting house though no deed was ever executed (Wayland 94). The earliest marriage held at Stafford for which there is a record was between John Fallis and Mary Antram, which was conducted on Apr. 10, 1776 (Wayland 262). George Fallis and Daniel Antram were overseers for the Stafford meeting house, though it's not known during what years they served in this capacity (Wayland 529).
After the Revolution, activity at Hunter's Ironworks declined and had all but ceased by about 1806. The Stafford Meeting was discontinued on Aug. 3, 1807 (Wayland 549). On June 6, 1817 a committee at Hopewell recommended that Abraham Branson and William Jolliffe be appointed as trustees to sell the meeting house at Stafford, reserving the graveyard (Wayland 73). If a deed was drawn for this conveyance it's been lost. By this time, many of Stafford's Quakers had moved west, some settling in Ohio. Some of the Holloways remained in Stafford and continued their involvement with grist milling here but seem to have given up the Quaker faith.

[1] The Hopewell Meeting House stands seven miles north of Winchester, near Clearbrook, and one mile west of Route 11 on Hopewell Road. It opened in 1733, the first house of Christian worship west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is still in operation.
[2] Based upon information gleaned from the land tax records, the Bransons seem to have resided on Oakley on the east side of Poplar Road (Route 616).

After I Lose Weight
I Will Quit Smoking
I Will Quit Smoking
"After I lose some weight I will quit smoking." Many times a smoker will use being overweight as an excuse for continuing to smoke. They may feel that the logical sequence is to lose weight and then quit smoking. But the end result of this approach is usually quite disappointing.
For even if the smoker does lose the weight, the odds are that they will do so by increasing their cigarette consumption. Cigarettes are capable of suppressing the appetite. Then when they tries to quit smoking they will probably eat more in order to curb their urge to smoke. Once again they will gain back the weight, and out of discouragement will probably relapse back to cigarettes. And then they is in the same position that she was in at the start--overweight and smoking.
If a smoker's goal is to quit and stay off cigarettes and to permanently lose weight, they must achieve success in one without depending on the other as a crutch. This is not to say that the smoker must quit smoking and go onto a diet at the same time. While it is not impossible, dieting is difficult for many smokers during cessation.
Due to a drop in blood sugar levels which accompanies smoking cessation, the urge to snack on sweet foods is constant. Also, without a cigarette to cue the end of a meal, the smoker may continue eating long after dessert is over. But if the smoker wants to control their weight while quitting, they must either control the urge to snack or eat lower calorie alternatives during the initial quitting phase.
But the ex-smoker may feel that it is better to deal with one problem at a time. They may indulge themselves with their favorite foods with the full expectation that they will only be doing this for a week or so. Cakes, cookies, potato chips and many other popular snack foods are used. A potentially long term and destructive eating habit may be established. What she thought would last only a few days, becomes weeks and maybe even months. Weight gain will be the inevitable result. The ex-smoker will either relapse to cigarettes out of discouragement or continue gaining until positive steps are taken to break free from the new overeating pattern.
If, on the other hand, the ex-smoker addresses the food issue when first quitting, all the long term weight problems can be avoided. To help curb the urge for sweets, plenty of fruit juices should be consumed for the first three days after quitting. This will help stabilize the drop of blood sugar, hence alleviating some of the common withdrawal symptoms encountered during smoking cessation. Also, the acidity of the juices should help accelerate the excretion rate of nicotine, thus shortening the duration of physical withdrawal symptoms.
Snacking on carrots and celery are also a reasonable alternative for the first few days. These items should be encouraged because they are low in calories and, for the most part, non-habit forming. Within a couple of weeks, the ex-smoker will tire of these vegetables and just give them up. They will have quit smoking without replacement of food as a permanent crutch.
Staying off smoking is a lifelong commitment. The most important step you can make to insure success in this goal is to keep a positive attitude about non-smoking. Don't develop a negative replacement behavior which will result in a secondary problem. This will make a positive attitude toward not-smoking impossible, and the end result will be a relapse to cigarettes.
If you have already gained weight since quitting, take action to rectify the problem. Then you too will feel good about your accomplishments. Not only did you quit smoking, but you will have done so without depending on any other destructive crutches. You really will have taken control of your life. To keep control, watch your diet and - NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!
