Something we missed when it was published, Harley-Davidson has remained on the 2012 Interbrand 100, and even made a 10% gain in value according to Interbrand's brand valuation. The 76th most valuable brand worldwide in 2009, Harley-Davidson fell to 98th on the list in 2010, and threatened to fall off this list in 2011 when it was ranked as the 100th most valuable brand.
For 2012 however, Harley-Davidson's brand value seems to mimic its unit sales, finding its rock-bottom value and then making some gains with the slowly recovering economy. After getting a 10% boost in brand value over its 2011 figure, Harley-Davidson ranks 96th amongst the world's most valuable brands — a far cry from its position several years ago, but a step in the right direction for the venerable motorcycle brand.

When Cole Davis founded Keystone RV in 1996 his vision was clear: Build a quality RV loaded with features priced thousands less than other RVs on the market. To accomplish his goal, Cole would recruit and build a strong team, focus on keeping overhead low, and empower the people closest to the customer to make decisions.
Within a few short months after opening the doors, Keystone produced its very first camper. Delivering big on quality, features and value, the public fell in love with it. A star was born! As the appetite for the camper increased, new Keystone models were added to satisfy growing customer demand. Along with this tremendous growth came the need for expanded production. To meet this need more manufacturing plants were built and staffed.
From new floor plan designs to patented inventions, Keystone leads the way in product innovation. One reason is our mission to stay close to the customer. When talking with campers or visiting dealerships, our sales, product development, and service teams, are always looking for ways to improve the camping experience. And we don't stop there.
Every member of the Keystone family is encouraged to contribute to making our campers absolutely the best possible. Through something we call Kamp Keystone, our employees camp free of charge at local campgrounds in the Keystone trailers we supply. Each year hundreds of our production workers, administrative staff and service team enjoy a day (or a week) at Kamp Keystone. Their evaluation of the experience and the feedback they provide results in continued product improvements. Ask us if we use our RVs...the answer is YES!
Byerly RV is not responsible for any misprints, typos, or errors found in our website pages. Any price listed excludes sales tax, registration tags, and delivery fees. Manufacturer-provided pictures, specifications and features may be used as needed. Inventory shown may be only a partial listing of the entire inventory.

VBAC: Labor InductionSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
When labor does not start on its own and delivery needs to happen soon, contractions can be started (induced) with medicine. Some doctors avoid inducing labor when a woman is trying vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). But others are okay with the careful use of certain medicines to start labor or strengthen contractions.
For a woman who has acesareanscar on her uterus, there is a chance the scar can break open during labor. This is called uterine rupture. Medicines used to induce labor may increase the risk of uterine rupture.
When a VBAC labor has not started on its own, certain medicines, such as oxytocin, may be carefully used to help start labor. Oxytocin may also be used to get a slow labor going again. Oxytocin is less likely than the medicine misoprostol to increase the risk of uterine rupture. Misoprostol is not recommended for use in VBAC.footnote 1
In one large study, uterine rupture occurred in:footnote 1
- About 14 out of 1,000 women who were induced with misoprostol.
- About 11 out of 1,000 women who were induced with oxytocin.
- About 4 out of 1,000 women who had a spontaneous labor.
Inducing labor in a woman trying a VBAC may also increase the chance of needing a C-section. Women who try to have a VBAC may be more likely to have a successful vaginal birth if labor is allowed to start on its own (spontaneous labor).footnote 1

MacNN Rating: Product Manufacturer: HTC (Telus as carrier) Price: $150 (3 yr. contract) The Good Exceptional 640x480 screen; more responsive than the original Touch. Much better media player and overall TouchFLO interface. Opera Mobile a clear edge over other Windows Mobile phones. Above average battery and call quality in its category. EVDO Rev A and Wi-Fi support. Better 3.2MP camera; 4GB of built-in storage. The Bad Still a "confused" UI: requires switches between d-pad, finger, and stylus input. Removable storage dropped from previous design. Just one expansion port with no 3.5mm earphone jack. Camera is just a resolution upgrade, still has mediocre image quality. When the original HTC Touch launched, critics charged that it had conflicting personalities: it wanted to be a home user's device, with a simple touchscreen interface, but was really too attached to its business-like Windows Mobile side to truly work. The Touch Diamond not only reflects lessons learned from those year-old quirks but is also HTC's first real chance at developing a product (almost) from the ground up to fight the iPhone. We take a look at the Diamond not only to see how well it fares against its US-designed counterpart but whether HTC was focused on interface or specsmanship. design and the ultra-sharp screen Ergonomically, the Diamond is an admission that the original Touch's shape was slightly awkward; gone is the squat, rounded shape in favor of a longer bar shape. It's more comfortable to hold and has more hardware control than the original Touch had, at least in practice. One appreciated function is the magnetic grip on the stylus; while it would preferable never to have to rely on the stylus, putting it back is faster now that a less-than-precise move is needed to put the pen back in its slot. HTC has thankfully resisted the urge to enlarge the 2.8-inch screen of the first Touch simply for the sake of one-upping the iPhone or other devices stretching out to 3.5 inches; because of this, the Diamond has a much smaller surface area than its rival, and seems suited to smaller pockets on the whole. That said, this isn't as ideal a video playback device as the iPhone. Movies and TV shows are better-suited to increases in sheer screen size, and the difference is unmistakable. It also comes at the expense of thickness. To reach the smaller shape, the Diamond bulks up slightly to 0.55 inches thick versus the iPhone's 0.48. On paper, this should matter little, but the tapered edges of the Apple handset certainly make it feel more substantial. The Diamond may not be as thick as the N95 8GB, but it's just thick enough that a tight pocket might feel more strain than it would with the iPhone, which still stands as one of the thinnest smartphones to date. Where HTC wins an unambiguous victory is in screen resolution. The 640x480 display is one of the very first for Windows Mobile to push past 320x240 and is simply gorgeous to view. The pixel density is so high that fonts are crisp and at times print-like. Many of HTC's custom visual effects come alive, photos are vivid and even standard TV-grade video loses none of its crispness on the smaller display. It's especially handy for web browsing, where the resolution is just high enough that it's easier to read text without zooming too far into the page. Virtually the only flaw is its glossy nature, which shows smudges much more than with some other touchscreen phones. Importantly, it's also easier to use. The screen is much more responsive to touch input than the original and so works more effectively without having to apply the large amount of pressure that was all too often necessary with the original. It's now possible to register quick swipes instead of slow, deliberate movements. Even so, HTC ought to jump from resistive touchscreens to a more sensitive capacitive display like that of the iPhone; while patents likely stop HTC from using multi-touch, it's still too difficult to use flicking motions or other more intuitive gestures. The praise given to the body can't be given to the directional pad. In an attempt to embrace minimalism, HTC has done away with the raised borders that served as the original touch's arrow keys and instead tucked the buttons underneath the outside edge of the circular center button. It's more pleasing to the eye, but it also makes non-touch navigation a pain. There's now a certain amount of guesswork involved in remembering where to push, and more than a few times a press on the appropriate spot wouldn't immediately trigger the right action. Form has actually trumped function here in a questionable design move; Apple may not have as many physical buttons, but it's better to have strong touch-only input than lukewarm physical controls. the TouchFLO interface and web browsing The original TouchFLO interface was really just a minor adjustment at best to the core Windows Mobile interface. While there were a few shortcuts, their scarcity and the difficulty of pulling up the full interface ultimately didn't have much bearing on the interface; it may as well have been Microsoft's reference design. The Diamond's interface has been completely overhauled and is infinitely more useful. In part helped by the 640x480 screen, virtually every common function has some level of simplified, visually appealing interface. It's such that users can finally perform some functions without a jarring switch to the plainer Windows Mobile controls. HTC's desire to bolster its standing in media playback is especially apparent here: the photo browser bears an uncanny resemblance to the iPhone's Photo Library, while the music player has a Cover Flow-style interface that supports browsing music by 3D album covers as well as by a far more intuitive list view than Microsoft's still-dreadful mobile Windows Media Player interface. The change is enough that the Diamond really can work as a media phone, albeit still not quite on par with the iPhone or N95's sheer level of control using playlists, podcasts, and other more advanced audio playback. All the same, it's still clear that HTC has a long way to go. There are still a number of areas in the interface where users are bumped unceremoniously into the Windows Mobile interface, even for tasks that should be relatively casual. The mail client is a particularly bad example and lets you preview some of a message in TouchFLO, but won't let you read the rest or delete the new message from the top level; checking messages becomes an inordinately complex affair where it's always necessary to switch interfaces. HTC also hasn't escaped what's likely its most glaring problem: its indecision over input methods. Paradoxically, the surface level of the TouchFLO interface is actually quite clumsy when used with the touchscreen instead of the directional pad; the former sometimes results in accidental input or no input at all. Accessing the camera is an awkward multi-step process guaranteed to miss target-of-opportunity shots. And while the situation improves in the deeper levels of TouchFLO, Windows Mobile itself effectively requires a stylus with too-small menu items and on-screen keyboards. It's not uncommon to switch between physical buttons, finger input and the stylus all in a single session. Combined with an at times sluggish response time, the flaws are enough to actually slow input rather than speed it up and make a convincing case for the simplicity of its American-made challenger, even if it lacks a few conveniences. Web browsing is at least much better than for most smartphones we've tested lately, and especially Windows Mobile devices. HTC has chosen to pack the Diamond with Opera Mobile by default instead of using Microsoft's comparatively slow, limited Internet Explorer. It lacks the quick navigation of a multi-touch interface or the sheer volume of web support that make web-based apps a pleasure on Apple's device, but it does render website accurately and quickly -- basic feats that most mobile browsers still can't manage. The stylus is also thankfully unnecessary as it's possible to both double-tap to zoom the page and to pan around using one finger. Notably, this is also one of Telus' first phones to ship with EVDO Revision A cellular data access out of the box. It ultimately has only a small impact on browsing speed versus normal EVDO, but it's appreciated and is backed up by Wi-Fi for those times when the 3G connection is tenuous or non-existent. call quality and battery life CDMA-based phones often receive a poor review for call quality on this site compared to GSM phones, which are often (though not always) clearer and have the benefit of using 3G for the calls themselves. The Touch Diamond bucks this trend to a slight degree: while not outstanding, there's no immediate evidence of the muffled sound that has affected several of the CDMA devices tried here. Calls came through clear on both ends and didn't require excessively high volume to be understood, although the microphone is sensitive enough to pick up a moderate amount of wind noise; that's more than with some other phones. Battery life is also just above average and is mainly impressive for what's managed given the unusually bright and sharp display. While calls and heavy data use will quickly wear down the Touch Diamond, it was realistic to have about two days of light-to-moderate mixed use with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi switched off. That's better than both the iPhone and N95, though in fairness those latter devices also use their 3G networks for calls and take a hit in battery life as a result. expansion For all of HTC's interest in reworking its Touch series into true media devices, the company has unfortunately fallen a few steps short when it comes to expansion. The Diamond has just the company's proprietary connector on the bottom and doesn't include an adapter for 3.5mm earphones; without looking for an accessory, users are stuck with HTC's strictly basic earbuds and have to use an included splitter if they want to handle more than one task at a time, such as charging the phone while listening to music. The absence of a microSD slot for storage is equally a problem. That's no different than with the iPhone or N95, but those two competitors have at least 8GB of flash memory to use. The Touch Diamond has just 4GB and is likely to fill up fast, especially for users who have media sync utilities, such as Mark/Space's Missing Sync for Windows Mobile. Moreover, it's a regression from the original Touch that feels arbitrary, even if there may well be a technical reason for the move. HTC is often known as the go-to phone maker for users who want the features the iPhone lacks; when those features go away on HTC's phones as well, customers are likely to turn somewhere else. camera A sharp camera is increasingly regarded as a staple feature of a good all-around smartphone, and HTC doesn't disappoint with a 3.2-megapixel sensor replacing the two-megapixel unit of before. If nothing else, this improves the quality of downscaled shots and assists in cropping images without losing detail. HTC also has a thoughtful autofocus feature that gives it a clear edge over the iPhone and other less photo-capable handsets, although there is little control over the choice of which subject is put into focus. To call it a complete visual upgrade would be misleading, however. At full size, it's still very apparent that HTC is using strictly average cellphone hardware and lenses: images have relatively washed-out colors and the distinctive hazy, smeared look that comes from a plastic lens. The "purple fringing" that comes from a small, very curved lens is similarly on show. Any of Nokia's 3.2-megapixel or sharper Nseries smartphones will typically serve more serious phone photographers much more capably than the Diamond, particularly given the quicker access to the camera and more advanced image settings. wrapping up If compared in isolation to 2007's Touch, the Touch Diamond would be a resounding success; outside of accessible storage and the questionable directional pad, it represents an upgrade in virtually every category. The Diamond is the first Touch phone, if not the first Windows Mobile phone anywhere, that can be recommended as a substantial music phone. Taken out of that vacuum, it starts to falter. No user should have to constantly rethink the interface from screen to screen, and in a few cases HTC complicates matters more than it helps. Some of the blame for this can be lain at Microsoft's feet: Windows Mobile just isn't well-suited to non-business touchscreen use, and HTC can't change this short of redesigning the operating system itself. Versus the iPhone, the Diamond also appears to be a somewhat misplaced effort. HTC understood that a smartphone for the masses has to have a visually uncluttered interface, an attractive hardware design, a true web browser and a good media player. What it lacks is the cohesion and integration that makes the iPhone hum. Beyond the inconsistent interface, the hardware isn't sure whether it wants to be a media phone or a business phone; it has a home user's aesthetic, but most of the storage and port limitations of a corporate device. There's also no equivalent to iTunes to give real control over media, contacts, and other data all from a single app, even if Missing Sync and similar apps come close. That isn't to say the Touch Diamond is a sub-par phone; if expectations are set ahead of time, it can work particularly well. It's nonetheless not the jack-of-all-trades HTC wants it to be. That role may be left to the upcoming Touch Pro, which supplies a full keyboard -- and less dependence on the touchscreen for more serious tasks.

Would it be worth recommending to FDA that to address this issue that the measurements be adjusted so that it is percentage based ? I'd have thought most packaging would show per 100 g quantities as well. Which would then mean that you have the percentage shown.
Some countries require nutrient information to be shown for both serving size and for a 100g portion. Unforunately, the U.S. does not require this and most products do sold here do not list nutrition info based on a 100g serving. Makes it real difficult to compare products and some serving sizes are so small, the numbers are not useful at all. For example, PAM cooking spray which is aerosolized vegetable oil (with some bottles containing a small amount of corn starch or other additives) has a serving size equivalent to a 0.3 second spray. This is much shorter than most people use the product (and much shorter than demonstrated on their TV commercials or by TV chef's who use the product). Problem is, most of the nutrition info is 0. It was even sold as a 0 fat product because the serving size was small enough to round down the fat content to zero even though the product IS fat.

Post subject: Amount of Trans fat
I had a box of Gertrude Hawk Chocolates - milk chocolate cinnamon sugar cookie smidgens to be exact. The nutritional information lists 2 grams of trnas fat per serving not much until you realize that a serving is only 45 grams. Alos of note is that of the 45 gram serving size, 15g is and carbs are 26g, plus another half gram of mostly sodium. Not much else in it really. The saddest part is that these were almost inedible as they were way too sweet, kinda greasy feeling and gritty. I threw most of them away.

Just out of curiosity, why are people having so much trouble coming to terms with the fact that less than 0.5 g of trans fat is considered 0?
You have to have a cut off. Every measuring scale is only as accurate as half the increments. Zero is never zero - it's always +/- some amount
People forget that everything depicted on a food container is subject to advertising from the manufacturer. There are certain elements and statements required to appear on the packaging. But beyond the basics, it's up to the manufacturer as to how that info is presented. It should not be a shock that the food industry tries to make their foodstuffs look healthier than they really are. Certainly the serving size and/or recipe can be buggered with until it can be stated that the amount of trans per serving is closer to 0 than to 1. This is why "0g trans fat" listed in the nutritional block does not mean you are not consuming trans fat.
If you want to know if you are eating trans, you have to become familiar with the ingredients list (a packaging requirement also subject to spin doctors). If the list includes anything like "partially hydrolyzed" anything, you are likely enjoying a dose of trans.

Thor means "hydrogenated". If something is "hydrolyzed" like soy protein, then you're most likely consuming glutamates. Not known to be harmful to the body, but for people who avoid MSG or are allergic to MSG, that's what they should look for.

At least I was partially right. Thanks for the correction. I should really better organize my research, especially when it involves big words like hydrogenated, hydrolyzed, or beer. Perhaps I need to start my own forum . . . . .
This is somewhat off topic, so please dont start an msg rant here. But it does reinforce the notion that we should be educated consumers. Msg is created during the process to create hydrolyzed protein. It is my understanding that the resulting substance can contain as much as 20% msg. But since msg is generally recognized as safe by the fda, and because the ultimate amount of msg contained in the finished product is proportionately small when related to the finished product, msg is not required to be specifically included in the ingredients list. We unknowingly eat small quantities of msg.
Read labels. Know what you are eating. Take better notes than me.

The U.S. website currently reports 2.5 g of trans for the Deluxe (large biscuit). I wonder if they changed their recipe/formula.
The fries are killer (large is 8 g trans)

is it true that trans fat never leaves your body once you eat it? that's what i've heard, but from research i can't find anything to back it up. does anyone know?
and the most i've seen was 3 grams per serving in an individually wrapped honey-bun.

........is it true that trans fat never leaves your body once you eat it?
if transfats never exit the body, we'd all weigh . . . . well, alot.
the recommended daily intake of fats is on the order of 60 grams - that's 48 pounds of fats per year.
the amount/percentage of 'permissible/recommended' transfats content vs saturated, poly/mono-unsaturated, etc. is undefined.
there are 454 grams in a pound.
considering the widespread usage of transfats in the USA food chain - pick a percentage of 48 pounds per year to "permanently gain"
after 20-30 years the math says we all weigh (normal body weight) + (x times 100 pounds of 'retained' transfats)
1 gram per day * 365 days / year * 30 years = 10,950 grams = 24.1 pounds
60 grams of fat/day is the "recommended" guidelines -
the USA population is noted for eating too much in general
consuming fats in higher percentages than recommended
so the above math is potentially a conservative statement

Trans fats are the worst substances we can willingly ingest. On the other side, there are fats that are not unhealthy for us. The fattest thing I've seen were some fried sausages with oil dripping out of them.

***1/2 (out of four)
Country music generally remains too unhip of a reference point for the indie music world to touch with much seriousness. So when Brooklyn musician Matthew Houck, a.k.a. Phosphorescent, made an album of Willie Nelson covers about four years ago, it seemed like a curiosity, the kind of thing that would come out of a couple of weekends of obsessing over your dad's vinyl collection. In the time since, however, Houck has proven his commitment to the genre, especially in its classic, well-trod Johnny Cash vein, while continuing to pass as someone comfortable at a Sufjan Stevens concert.
On his fourth album, "Muchacho," Houck does not feel like a tourist but rather a guide, showing fans of, say, Bon Iver--whose layered falsetto is closely echoed in the album's spiritual intro and outro, or David Byrne, whose taut strings and horns reverberate throughout--how comfortable a little slide guitar and harmonica can feel alongside these sounds. It's his most realized work to date, a comfortable, intimate album that acknowledges that heartbreak and desperation are at home on the sidewalks in front of city dive bars as well as on dark country roads. It feels simultaneously like music that fills a house and haunts it.
That effect could be the product of consistently reverb-drenched vocals, which add distance to weary-heart highlights like "Muchacho's Tune" while animating the celestial, My Morning Jacket-like howls of "The Quotidian Beasts." It could be the result of the swelling strings on songs like the gorgeous, "Ring of Fire"-referencing "Song for Zula" or a side effect of rollicking Neil Young guitars, as on "Ride On/Right On."
Generous, familiar and yet surprisingly inventive, the country inflections of "Muchacho" come across like a reunion with an old friend, reminding you just how brilliant they always were.

Well here is another Tutorial by xmaddness.
In this tutorial we will take a look at the differences between the FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS File systems, and how the files are stored on the hard drive. I will discuss the differences between each and which to use depending on your particular situation.
There are basically two different types of file systems currently available for use with Windows Operating Systems. These are FAT16/32 (File Allocation Table) and NTFS (New Technology File System). There is also VFAT which was used for Windows for workgroups (win 3.11) and also used for Windows 95, but as they are outdated I will not be covering them.
A file system is the method used by an OS to manage the data on a drive. For DOS and sometimes Windows 9x, each entry in a FAT for most drives is 16 bits, or 2 bytes, and the FAT is called FAT16. Besides FAT16, Windows98 offers a FAT with 32-bit entries, and Windows NT/2k offers an entirely new type of managing clusters called NTFS. Windows 2000 can support FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS file systems. Windows 95 offers a version of FAT16 that can use long filenames, called virtual FAT or VFAT.
Each entry in a Hard Drive FAT tracks the use of a cluster. The number of sectors is different from one logical drive to the next. You can use the CHKDSK DOS command to view the size of one cluster. There is another way of figureing out the size of a cluster on your drive. First, use the DIR command in DOS and note how much space is available on your drive. Then, create a text file via notepad containing only one single character. Now go back and do the DIR command again and again note the available hard drive space. Compare the two values of before and after a single character file was written to the disk.The difference in the two values is the size of one cluster, which is the smallest amount that can be allocated to a file.
Beginning with Windows 95 OSR2 (or Service Realease 2), M$ offered a FAT that contains 32 bits per FAT entry instead of the older 16-bit FAT entries. In reality only 28 bits are used, the other 4 are reserved.
The FAT32 system allows for better mangement of very large drives, because the number of clusters per logical volume can increase. i.e. The largest cluster number a 16-bit FAT entry can hold is 65,535. The largest logical drive capacity depends on the size of a single cluster and the number of clusters that can be accesed through the FAT. For FAT16, logical drives can range is size from 16 MB to 2,048 MB. But in order to get the larger sizes, the cluster size must be very large, sometimes as large as 32K, which can result in alot of wasted space for a hard drive that holds alot of small files. The reason for this is in the fact that if a file's size is only 1K, it will still take up a whole 32K cluster, thus wasting 31K of hard drive space. This wasted space is calld slack. FAT32 makes it possible for cluster sizes to be smaller and still have very large logical drives, because there can be many more clusters to the drive. FAT32 is recommended for hard drives larger than 512 MB and works efficiently for drives up to 16 GB. In this range the cluster size is 8k, thus instead of wasting 31K of space, this method wastes only 7K of space from the previous example. In the 16 GB to 32 GB range the cluster size is increased to 16K. Beyond 32 GB hard drives you are going to loose much efficiency and it is recommended to switch to the NTFS file system. If you are currently using FAT16 and are considering going to FAT32 (what rock have you been hiding under?), you can use Partition Magic to scan your drive and tell you how much of the drive is wasted slack space. Using that info you can decide wheter switching will provide you with more usanle disk space.
NTFS (New Technology File System)
The NTFS file system is currently only available to true 32-bit Windows OS's. These OS's are Windows NT(New Technology, hence the name), and Windows 2k. Although Windows 9x and its predecessors can't use NTFS, Windows NT and Windows 2k can use the older FAT systems. Windows NT can work with both FAT16, and NTFS, where Windows 2k can utilize all three types. Windows NT does not support FAT32 (although I'm sure there are 3rd party softwares that can convert it). The FAT file system is backwards compatible with DOS and Windows 9x and uses less overhead than NTFS. The NTFS file system, on the other hand, is more fail safe, provides more security, and is more efficient with larger drives. When a drive is formatted with the NTFS file system, the cluster size ranges from 512 Bytes on smaller drives, to 4K on larger ones. You can now see why this system is much more efficient in saving slack space.
Below are some advantages of NTFS over the FAT file system.
/me wonders how the list thingy works again?
- NTFS is a recoverable file system. NTFS retains copies of its critical file system data and automatically recovers a failed file system, using this information the first time the disk is accessed after a file system failure.
- NTFS offers increased security over the FAT system. Security is provided for each file, and auditing info about access to files is more complete.
- NTFS supports mirroring drives, meaning that two copies of data can be kept on two different drives to protect against permanent data loss in case of a hard drive crash. This makes it very useful for servers.
- NTFS uses smaller cluster sizes than FAT making it a much more efficient when using hard drive space.
Now some advantages of the FAT file system over the NTFS sile system.
- The FAT file system has less overhead making it a better choice for drives under 500 MB.
- The FAT file system is compatible with other M$ OS's. If your planning to do a dual boot Windows 9x and Windows NT/2k system, you will want to choose the FAT file system so you can share file between both OS's.
- In the event of a system failure in Windows NT or Windows 2k, if you are using FAT file system you can boot the PC from a disk, using DOS, and gain access to the drive.
Well, thats it for now. Again I'm having a test on this this week and figured this would help me to retain all the information. I should ace this one quite easily. If you find anything wrong with this by all means let me know and I will make the proper adjustments. On the same note if you have any other topics you would like to see covered, PM me and I will see what I can do to get a tutorial out on that subject.


text: Mike Lazaridis, Chair of the Board of Directors of Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, is pleased to announce the appointment of Arthur B. McDonald to Perimeter's Board. For over twenty years, Art McDonald has been the Director of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) - one of Canada's most ambitious physics experiments. Working in the observatory, located two kilometres below the surface in the Creighton nickel mine, he led a team of international collaborators in discovering that elementary sub-atomic particles, called neutrinos, change from one type to another while traveling from the sun to the earth. The SNO experiment also confirmed that neutrinos have a tiny but nonzero mass. Art McDonald holds the Gordon and Patricia Gray Chair in Particle Astrophysics at Queen's University. He has received numerous awards for his research, including the 2011 Henry Marshall Tory Medal from the Royal Society of Canada and the 2007 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Physics alongside researcher Yoji Totsuka, and he was also named an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2007. Professor McDonald is now working on the SNO+ experiment at the international SNOLAB, researching an accurate measurement of neutrino mass and helping to explain the processes that generate matter in the early universe. He is also involved with DEAP-3600, a new international experiment searching for dark matter particles. "We are deeply honoured to have Art McDonald joining Perimeter's Board of Directors," said Neil Turok, Director of Perimeter Institute, "He is both a world-renowned scientist and a true Canadian pioneer, having demonstrated with the SNO project that Canada can be one of the world's pre-eminent locations for groundbreaking discoveries in particle astrophysics. Art's expertise and wise guidance will be invaluable to Perimeter as we continue to grow."

Another View -- Bradford E..Cook: Everyone should read Manchester's school tuition contractBRADFORD E. COOK
December 15. 2012 8:28PM
As the chief negotiator who represented the Manchester School Board and created the tuition agreement between Manchester and the surrounding towns, I have watched with sorrow and concern the recent public outbursts concerning the tuition relationship between Hooksett, Candia and Manchester. Understanding the contract, it is apparent that all parties should quiet down and read the contract - and remember what it was designed to do.
In writing this, I do not endorse or support either the tax cap or the level of funding of Manchester schools.
The tuition agreement effective July 1, 2003, was the result of years of work to fashion a lasting relationship between Manchester and its partner towns for the education of a diverse group of students. No students were to be "guests" or "second class citizens." The surrounding towns had rights to minimum numbers of students in each high school, to members on school board committees and observers at the Manchester School Board with the right to speak. Individual high school advisory boards were designed to advise each high school, with participation by the sending districts. New facilities were built and the sending districts committed to paying substantial sums in return.
All of this was designed to support an integrated school system. Manchester committed to program and accreditation standards.
Unfortunately, since 2003, the communication and joint participation parts of the agreement have ceased to function, after having been established initially. Frankly, subsequent Manchester administrations either have not known of them or have ignored them, and the surrounding districts have not insisted on them. These should be reestablished immediately so communication about the facts, and not rumors, takes place rationally, as designed.
The tuition agreement has specific and detailed provisions on what constitutes a default, how one is asserted, and what happens then. Specifically, Section 4 (c) says that if a sending district believes there is a default, it has to declare the default in writing, specifying the asserted default. Manchester then has 180 days to remedy the default. If either party says it is not remedied, it can appeal, using the provisions of Section 14, to the school board, State Department of Education and the courts. Any talk of alternate means of addressing a default is not helpful.
Despite all the rhetoric, there is real doubt as to whether Manchester is in default under the tuition agreement. If it is, then the contract says Manchester is given the chance to fix it. The sending districts are not free to leave, nor are they free to send their high school students to schools other than Manchester, without being in default of the requirement to send all their students to Manchester.
On the other hand, Manchester is not entitled to act as if it can unilaterally reassign students from the sending districts, in violation of the agreement, without the assent of the sending districts, which they are not required to give. They are entitled to the deal they made, and public outbursts by Manchester officials, or giving the impression of telling the sending districts what they are going to do, is harmful.
Manchester, Hooksett and Candia made a good deal in 2003 to strengthen our historic high school partnership. The deal needs to get back on track. People need to read the contract instead of press reports to find out what the agreement is and what their rights are. Officials, parents and educators need to quiet down, listen and discuss their options. The tradition, and the students, are too important not to.
Bradford E. Cook, a Manchester attorney, is chairman of the state Ballot Law Commission. He is a former member of the Manchester Board of School Committee.

ParaNorman is an amusing but only fitfully involving animated caper.
Read Full Review
This wryly funny take on the classic ghost story, with its tributes to horror thrillers from "Halloween" to "Friday the 13th" and rich cast of characters, has distinctive Tim Burton-esque visuals, and a welcome dearth of potty humor.
The story may be thin, but the project, a feat of stop-motion animation, is made with generous care by the same impressive LAIKA studio artists who conjured up the gorgeous "Coraline."

Cool-but-creepy monster flick is too scary for little kids.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that ParaNorman is, above all else, a monster movie, and it will scare little kids. It's animated (stop-motion), but it's full of ghosts, corpses, zombies, and witches and is aimed toward older kids and teens. There are chases, "jump" scenes, characters in peril, frightful zombies with body parts flapping and falling off, creepy houses with looming shadows (and, in the 3-D version, a swarm of bugs bursting out of a teddy bear straight at you), an angry mob with weapons, and much more. The language (lots of insults directed at Norman) and teen hormones (overt flirting and discussion of how "hot" a couple of teen characters are, as well as flashes of cleavage and a broad shirtless chest) are also more mature than in most animated movies for the younger set. There are also hurtful conflicts between parents and kids, some bullying takes place, and a character is revealed to be gay in a low-key way. While it has themes about tolerance and teamwork and could be a great pick for brave older tweens and middle-schoolers, this cool frightfest is very likely to be too much for younger moviegoers to handle.
Messages: ParaNorman's themes include tolerance, understanding, unconditional friendship, bravery, and family support. Norman evolves from a lonely misfit who's bullied at school to a town hero by accepting not only his own selfless mission but acknowledging his need for help -- and helping others. Parents will also learn the importance of giving their children the benefit of the doubt and really listening to them instead of dismissing their ideas as just wacky or strange.
Role models: Norman doesn't have the best relationship with his parents, especially his father, who finds Norman's penchant for talking to the dead a sign of mental illness or adolescent angst. Neil and his brother, Mitch, are good friends to Norman; they get involved even when they don't have to and offer to help despite Norman's protests. Courtney starts off as a mean big sister but eventually cheers for and supports Norman on his mission. Norman himself is lonely and hesitant to ask for help at first but realizes he doesn't have to do everything by himself. Even the zombies are more sympathetic than they first appear to be.
Violence: The movie has an overwhelmingly scary, dark, moody, tone that's set by Norman's interest in monster movies (the movie opens with an animated monster-movie scene that includes a person in peril being chased) and continued by his ability to talk to ghosts (including his grandma, which could be upsetting for some kids) and encounters with frightful-looking zombies. Many frightening scenes will scare younger viewers used to more benign animated movies. Some of the ghosts that Norman can speak to are shown with fatal injuries and/or obvious reasons for their deaths. A character dies on screen. Many scenes feature either a corpse (Norman has to "wrestle" with one in one gross sequence) or falling-apart zombies. The kids think they're going to be ripped apart by the monsters, who chase them in a long sequence that includes tense moments and some startling "jump" scenes. The witch's ghost is very loud and destructive and nearly kills Norman and his family; it also causes a very ominous/scary cloud and sets off hostile sparks and blasts of electric energy. The townsfolk become a bloodthirsty mob ready to use their weapons (including guns) on the witch, zombies, or anyone who appears to be aligned with them. Norman's great-uncle seems creepy and strange (and his house is even more so); his parents argue; a car crashes and rolls.
Sex: Courtney aggressively flirts with Mitch, whom she first bumps into while he's shirtless and wearing only a towel. From that moment on, she makes comments about how "hot" he is and tries to get him to reciprocate her come-ons. She wears a midriff-baring exercise suit that she zips down to show off her cleavage; she's also very curvy (as are other female characters). A butt-grabbing is implied; Norman mentions watching "sex and violence" on TV early in the movie.
Language: Insults like "freak," "stupid," "crazy," "loser," "ghost boy," "freakshow," "fatty," and more are used fairly frequently against Norman and his friend. Norman says "the F-word" (referring to a swear word, but not actually saying it). A (dead) grandmother calls her son "jackass." Courtney makes very authentic sounding "mean girl" comments like: "I really like her a lot, but she's a complete loser." Also "darn it," "damnation," "sucks," "boobs," "OMG," "Jesus" (as part of an exclamation), "weiner," and "hell."
Consumerism: Not applicable
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Norman's great-uncle takes unexplained pills.

If you have a website, and you want people to find it, then your site must be designed to be search engine friendly. There are some obvious and not so obvious things you can do to achieve this.
There is also a bit of trade off between which search engine you optimize for. While this article will focus on optimizing for Google, many of the things we talk about will also apply to Yahoo.
Additionally, before I go into the meat of the article itself, Google relies first and foremost on its "PageRank," and other factors for determining your position in Google's results are secondary. With that said, this article is not going to go into methods for increasing your PageRank. Instead we are going to focus on the other factors that go into how Google calculates relevance for a given keyword. For some great information on page rank, check out this article: http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Google-Optimization-Help/Google-
Google looks at a lot of factors to determine a page's relevance to a keyword. In fact, while their primary reliance on PageRank rankles me, I do like the way they look at a whole page, and the way everything fits together within that page.
To that end, there are things you can do to "help" your page look very focused to the keywords that are important to you.
Keying in to the Top
Most website owners know to put in the meta tags for keywords and to make the description meta tag keyword-focused. But then they will simply make the Title tag their Site name, which is a big mistake. The title tag should first have the single keyword (or at most three) that your site really wants, and then it should have the site name. For an example of this, see this article: http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Search-
Further, the very first graphic for your site should have the alternate text set to the keywords you focus on.
Next, while CSS has taken the venerable H1, H2, H3, and so on tags and replaced them with div and span headings, this reduces your potential ranking within Google.
You see, Google (and Yahoo) looks for the h1 and h2 tags as important indicators for what the text will contain. Therefore, the top of your document should have an H1 tag that has your most important keywords, followed by some content that is relevant to a visitor. Additionally, Google has become rather savvy to the frequency a site is updated with new content, so you'll want to continually add new "stuff" to your site, again using the H1 tag, so that Google will come back to your site and respider. The more frequently Google thinks it has to come back to respider your site, the higher your site will rank.
{mospagebreak title=Going Higher, uhh, Heir … archical that is}
If you check out Google's information on how they rank pages (http://www.google.com/intl/en/webmasters/guidelines.html) you'll see that they recommend that you "Make a site with a clear hierarchy."
In other words, you should be able to describe your pages using middle school outlining techniques. Here is an example (I'm going to insert some tags to help make things a little easier to figure out):
– <Title>Dieting, Health – My Terrible Diet Site</title>
–
Dieting your way to Health and Vitality
 (very top of site)
– –
How to Diet without killing yourself
(content article title)
– – – and then there is some of the content itself
– –
How To Eat Enough While Dieting
(content article title)
– – – and then there is some more content
–
The Crispie Crème Diet

– – and now some content for this one
In many ways your entire site should be laid out like that. Now I understand that you may have multiple table panes, but the main content section of your site should be laid out pretty close to what I've shown above. You could almost think "blog" for this, but I'm not saying your site should be a blog, I'm just using that as an example.
To make this easier, you may want to check out one of the outliners over at http://www.outliners.org. Unfortunately, you may find that there isn't much there for Windows machines. But that's okay. All those outliners do is output an "OPML" file (opml stands for Outline Processor Markup Language), and the OPML standard is ridiculously easy to understand.
And as a side benefit, Google can (and does) read/use the OPML file if your site has one. It will use that file to obtain more indepth heirarchial information about the way the data on your pages are laid out.
You can get the entire OPML spec at http://opml.org/. Understand that the whole issue with OPML is still one of those "hush-hush" things within Google, so you're really getting the inside scoop on this one.
With that said, the folks over at Google aren't stupid. First, your OPML file must be used to describe content that actually is on a page that can be reached from your site's main page. Second, the OPML file must be a reasonably close representation of the actual page, and third you must provide a link from the page to the OPML file so the Google Spider can find it.
If you adhere to these rules, then Google will use the additional information that can be obtained from the OPML file, and that will help to drive up the rankings for your site, because of the additional meta data within the OPML file that can't be found on an HTML page.
{mospagebreak title=The Site Map}
Another item that Google recommends is the creation of a site map. Well, guess what? By making the site map a hierarchical representation, complete with H1 and H2 tags (and an OPML file of its own), you can let Google know the "parent/child" relationships from one page to the next.
In other words, not only should each page's content be laid out in a hierarchical manner, your entire site should be laid out in a hierarchical manner as well. This will help Google to understand how one part of your site relates to other parts … and drive every single page of your site higher in Google's rankings.
Not meaning to beat a dead horse here, but by also giving your site map page an OPML file, you will allow Google to utilize the additional information, making your site more searchable by the Google spider than is otherwise possible.
Going Dynamic
I personally am a big fan of content management systems. I am also very against content management systems such as PHPNuke or PHP Website. If you check the Google site on its recommendations, it says, "If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a '?' character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them small."
Most content management systems require a ridiculous number of parameters and they don't load fast enough to make them easily "spiderable."
You see, the search engine spiders only allow a page a certain amount of time to load before simply moving on. A page that takes too long to load won't be spidered as often and therefore won't show up as high as it could in search results.
You can get the beginnings of an excellent CMS system that loads blazingly fast and doesn't need more than two parameters ever at this site: http://www.wolfdatasystems.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6.
That link will give you the "foundation" for the code that drives the CMS system that runs my own site over at http://www.wolfdatasystems.com. If you would like that code, including the stuff you need to create the appropriate tables, just send me an email and I'll send it to you (free of course).
{mospagebreak title=Content Exportation}
This one is rapidly becoming a huge deal with Google. The Google guidelines state that "If your company buys a content management system, make sure that the system can export your content so that search engine spiders can crawl your site."
What the guideline is talking about is RSS. Google is rapidly getting to the point, and may get there a lot sooner than you might think, that their spider won't even look at the page itself, but will instead focus on the RSS and OPML files. These two files are considered "content exporters." Now we've already talked about the OPML file. If you want some information on RSS, there is an excellent article (of course I think it was excellent, I wrote it) right here on SEO Chat. You can read all about why RSS is important at this link: http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Yahoo-Optimization-Help/An-Insiders-
The Wrap UpGoogle, always one of the front runners, has reached the point that it is very "meta data" savvy. In other words, this engine can make use of OPML files and RSS files. It can then compare those files to your site's actual content to make its decision making process that much more accurate when a search is performed. This means that sites that actually have RSS and OPML files are automatically ranked better than those sites which do not have them. Further, those sites which are laid out in a manner similar to their OPML files (in other words the content of the page follows a logical heirarchical order) will be ranked higher still.
And best of all, sites that follow design guidelines like that are easier to follow, read, and understand by visitors to your site, which will mean people are more likely to come back. And that's the best benefit of all.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lawmakers have seized upon a domestic spending bill as a chance to tighten controls on how Egypt's Islamist government can use well over $1 billion in military and other aid that Washington sends to Cairo each year.
Five senators - four Republicans and one Democrat - offered separate amendments related to the aid to a fast-track spending measure that seeks to avert a government shutdown on March 27.
Lawmakers have expressed concern about Egypt's stability. But they have also worried about the future policies of its Islamist government, its relations with Israel and anger at vitriolic comments about Jews that Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi made in 2010, when he was a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood opposition movement.
They seized upon the spending bill as a chance to clamp down on Cairo, days before President Barack Obama visits the region on his first presidential trip to Israel.
"In the 21st century, America's foreign assistance must reflect our values as well as our interests," said Republican Senator Marco Rubio, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who introduced one of the amendments.
Two years after the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, the most populous Arab nation is deeply divided and its government is struggling with a worrying slide in currency reserves and a soaring budget deficit.
The amendments are among some 125 added to the bill, a domestic spending measure known as a continuing resolution.
It was not clear how many, if any, of the five Egypt amendments would survive negotiations on a final version. The Senate is expected to vote on a final version on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Washington provides $1.3 billion per year in military aid to Egypt. The United States also said early this month it would give the country $250 million in budget aid after Mursi promised to make the painful economic reforms necessary to secure an International Monetary Fund loan.
The senators - Rubio, fellow Republicans John McCain, James Inhofe, and Rand Paul, and Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee's State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee - are not pushing to cut the aid.
Leahy and McCain are seeking to ensure the military aid is used for counterrorism, border security or special operations, meeting Egypt's most pressing security needs, not major defense equipment such as F-16 fighter jets or M1 tanks.
Rubio also would block the disbursement of additional economic support funds and new foreign military financing contracts until Cairo begins to enact economic reforms and Obama's administration certifies it is protecting human rights.
Paul's amendment, co-sponsored by Inhofe, seeks to cut off all assistance to Egypt until Mursi says in English and Arabic that he intends to uphold the Camp David peace accords.

Sales in the videogame industry have been declining for more than three years, due in no small part to competition from mobile devices. Yet it's still a field that's creating high-net-worth individuals at a rapid clip.
On average, rank-and-file videogame professionals pocket more than $81,000 per year, according to a study by Game Developer Magazine. That alone is nearly double what the typical American takes home. But a few game-box heroes (who undoubtedly weren't part of that study) blow the curve.

New PSNH rates took effect Jan. 1
CONCORD - New rates for Public Service Company of New Hampshire electricity customers took effect on Tuesday, after approval by the Public Utilities Commission last week.
In an order issued on Dec. 28, the regulatory agency approved an increase in the energy service charge of 9.54 cents per kilowatt hour, up from the 2012 energy charge of 7.11 cents per kwh.
The increase in the energy service charge will be offset to a degree by a reduction in the charge for stranded cost recovery, designed to compensate PSNH for costs brought about by deregulation of the energy industry in New Hampshire.
The stranded cost recovery charge was approved at .737 cents per kwh, compared to 1.88 cents per kwh in 2012.
A customer using 500 kilowatt hours per month will see their monthly bill go up from $86.35 to $92.43, an increase of about 7 percent.

Default Looming, Day 14 Of Shutdown, No Solution
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is moving perilously closer to an economy-rattling default and a partial government shutdown entered its third week with no resolution in sight.
Senate Democratic and Republican leaders remained at odds over spending in their last-ditch negotiations to end the crises gripping the nation.
Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke Sunday but failed to agree on a deal to raise the nation's borrowing authority above the $16.7 trillion debt limit or reopen the government.
Congress is racing the clock with Treasury Secretary Jack Lew warning that the U.S. will quickly exhaust its ability to pay the bills on Thursday.
The reaction of world markets and the Dow Jones on Monday could provide a jolt to Senate leaders, who represent the last chance for a solution.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – The U.S. government plans to build two prisons in Haiti's countryside in an effort to stem severe overcrowding, disease and violence in the poor Caribbean nation's prison system, a U.S. official said Friday.
Carl Siebentritt, director of the Narcotics Affairs Section at the U.S. Embassy, wrote in an email to The Associated Press that a prison will be built in each of the coastal towns of Petit Goave and Cabaret.
"Prisons are so overcrowded that detainees are held in temporary holding cells at police stations," Siebentritt wrote. "By constructing new prisons that are consistent with international human rights standards, the (U.S. State) Department seeks to alleviate this overcrowding and to reduce the spread of disease and violence."
The department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs estimates that the project will cost between $5 million and $10 million, public records say.
The penitentiary planned for Cabaret, a town 19 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of Haiti's capital, will hold women and help reduce crowding at a women's prison in the Port-au-Prince area. It will have 200 beds. It will also include a textile operation that will employ up to 15 women and a vocational training program.
The prison planned for Petit Goave, a town 43 miles (70 kilometers) southwest of Port-au-Prince, will have 150 beds and replace one that was destroyed in 2004 following the ouster of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
Contract bids are due in early March, Siebentritt said.
The project is part of a larger effort by foreign governments and aid groups to improve conditions in Haiti's prisons, which have been described as some of the world's worst.
The prisons are notoriously overcrowded and unsanitary, and inmates often take turns sleeping at night because of lack of space.
The crowded facilities stem in large part because of a dysfunctional justice system in whcih the majority of prisoners haven't seen a judge or been convicted of a crime. Inadequate record-keeping has made it difficult to confirm the number of inmates held in prolonged detention, but the State Department estimates the number is between 2,000 and 3,000.
Dr. John May, a South Florida physician who co-founded a nonprofit that seeks to improve health conditions in prisons worldwide, said he made a medical trip last fall to the police station in Petit Goave, where 128 inmates were locked up in a holding cell. The single room didn't have beds or running water, and the prisoners had scabies or suffered from malnutrition, mental illness and high blood pressure, he said.
"I'm very grateful some assistance is being delivered to the prison program," May said. "Prisoners are often forgotten."
