Anger as a key!
I never thought of anger as a key to a solution but I have been enlightened and I believe it is true. If you become angry about something that you hold dear, something you value and believe is important in the world, you might become more inclined to do something about the cause of the anger. Surely we have all been angry over many things in the course of our lifetime. I know for a fact that I am slow to anger but once I am angry it is not really that pretty. It does not feel good and it is not a place I am comfortable but it has saved my life and so for that I see the importance of anger. Recently I became angry over something that happened with a group of peopl that I know. They did something that I believed was wrong and they hurt some people that are special to me and they hurt me. Naturally there is no happy ending to this story, no good resolution or solution. I am not sure there were any winners but there were losers. Anger was not a key to this problems solution or at least it has not been the key. I will have to give things time to...fade I guess is the best way to put it. Time does heal many wounds and a patient person will wait for the healing to occur. For this particular hurt I do not think I am angry anymore but it has altered my thinking about people and it has affected my trust of some of them.

I am not happy.
I had a run in with a student today. In all the years she has been attending public school I am afraid the only thing she has learned well is that her "disability will get her out of trouble". She is more handicapped then she is aware as she has used and depended on her problems to allow her to act like a horrible human being.I cannot imagine where she will ever work where people will put up with her behavior. It scares me to think she may live near me or someone I love. She will not make a good neighbor. I am mostly unhappy because I believe that the school system, the educational system has created her, or allowed her to be this person that has few if any redeeming qualities. If I am completely honest I am mostly unhappy because I have her for years to come! Why are we afriad to MAKE the students accountable for their behavior? It is beyond my powers of comprehension... I am simply lost!

Reflection, somber and thoughtful contemplation that is what this season of the year is all about. I would like to make a wild statement and say this, I have been in reflection and somber, thoughtful contemplation for at least the last four years of my life. Frankly, it is not all that it has cracked up to be. God and I have an ongoing conversation, sort of a streaming video is how I like to think of it. So to set aside this 40 days to just be sober and reflective seems rather redundent to me. I have given some thought to this process, the dark before the joy and brillence of Easter and I am going to give it up..that is what I am giving UP for Lent. Instead of adding things to my life that I do not want to do I am going to do more of what I love to do. I am going to spend more time with my friends and my family. I am going to embrace painting, and go for as many walks with Abby as I can. When Easter arrives it will be a joyful time but it is time to be joyful now.

The Subject is Trees.
For some time now I have been considering trees as a subject to draw. They are without a doubt deceptively difficult to draw. Yesterday as I was driving home at twilight I had a chance to observe many beautiful examples of the majestic pecan without their showy dressing of leaves and greenery. I much prefer them stark and bare as this is the time when you can see how sturdy, yet delicate they are. In the cool twilight when the sun is fading and the sky is blueish purple the branches reach out and twist and turn in such a graceful dance. I have decided that I do indeed prefer the tree in it's natural state.

A trip to the Jr. Museum
I took my children and now I am taking my child's child! Beth and I had an amazing time today at the Jr. Museum with Abby and Elliott. Both children ran and played and were interested and interesting to be with. We saw a Red Wolf and a Gray Fox, black bears, snakes...strangely interesting to two small children. Abby got to pet a cow and than she promptly got knocked down when the cow very slowly turn her head. We all laughed and Abby thought that was the coolest thing! It was such a fine day, such a great memory. Jennifer, do you remember when we went to the Jr. Museum??? We went with Beth and Tommy and Ginny and Matt. I am not sure but I think Cody was with us as well, in the stroller!! This was a lovely day.

First born and last
Her she is my Jennifer, my first born with her last. Emily Claire and both such lovely young ladies. Far away now from me in France!! I have no doubt that they are snug in bed this time of night or maybe not it is 6am there so probably up and wide awake. Good morning my girls. I miss you. Time just moves to fast most of the time. I can remember when I held Jennifer just like this and now...hmmm. I will have to talk to Emily a lot while she is away so she will get to know me and not forget that I was there the moment she first appeared! Have a great day sweet girls.

In 2009, Reeshemah Taylor disarmed and subdued a violent inmate. On Wednesday, she received the nation's thanks at the White House.
Taylor, an Osceola County corrections officer, received the Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor from Vice President Joe Biden and Attorney General Eric Holder. She was part of a group of 18 police officers and firefighters who received what the White House calls "the highest national award for valor by a public safety officer."

My experience in Yosemite opened my eyes to what's at stake if we – as a nation, as a global community – DON'T start living sustainably.
I don't want to lose the beauty of Yosemite's high country – the beautiful blue of the sky, the snow-capped peaks, the crystal-clear lakes.
Goal #2: Transition to a more simple, greener lifestyle.
I've been dabbling in thoughts of going green for several awhile. I started reading several blogs on the topic – but very specific types of green blogs:
Eco Chic Blogs
Some of my favorites include EcoSalon and Ecofabulous, and I'm loving my newest discovery, Shift Your Habit.
I have learned that going green doesn't require the sacrafice of comfort, style, or even a lot of money. I have also learned that there are A LOT of small changes one can make.
And I am starting with the one thing I swore I would never do:
I have hated compact fluorescent lighbulbs (CFLs), basically because I am very particular about lighting and I'm not living in a home bathed in an eery yellow or blue glow. I had told Jason once that there was no way I would switch to CFLs…unless the technology improved. Well, it has.
The book Green Chic: Saving the Earth in Style has taught me how to buy CFLs (the author is not a fan of the nasty coloring either). Wattage and Kelvin temperature are the two big things to look for.
We're taking it a room at a time. First up: our living room. Three of our four lamps now sport CFLs (the other has a three-way bulb, and the CFL tech hasn't gotten there yet). We got 13-watt bulbs with a Kelvin temp of 2700. Besides the slight delay when you first turn them on, there is no visual difference.
Baby steps. By the time we eventually build our dream home, I'll be well equiped to make it as green as we possibly can!

Students will get funding support through university if they choose a cyber-security related course as part of a new scheme, Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude said on Tuesday in the Commons.
The students will be given £4,000 a year to study relevant science, technology, engineering or maths courses and will have to work during vacations and years out with the government or cyber-security companies.
However, they will then have to work for the government for a minimum of three years before the financial support is written down.
Mr Maude said the scheme would draw heavily on Israel's Talpiot programme, which he saw on a visit to the country in November. Partly as a result, Israel has an elite development for cyber security experts.
Speaking in the Commons today, Mr Maude said that the new scheme will be a vital pipeline for top-end cyber talent. "Initially we will pilot Cyber First with a few tens of students, he said.
"Cyber First is the latest in a series of initiatives building cyber skills, including new apprenticeships, and introducing cyber-security to the National Citizen Service and ensuring that it is included in relevant courses leading to computing and digital qualifications for 16 to 19-year-olds."
The Tory minister also announced three joint UK-Israel cyber research projects, with similar schemes to go ahead with Singapore later this year.
Mr Maude said Kent and Surrey universities had been added to the list of centres of excellence status in cyber research.
A report published yesterday by the Government and Marsh - a UK risk adviser - showed that 81 per cent of large businesses and 60 per cent of small businesses suffered a security breach last year.
Back in 2010 the Coalition also identified cyber as one of four tier 1 national security threats, as companies and governments around the world face more sophisticated attacks. This means that 88 per cent of FTSE 350 companies now have cyber-security on their risk registers.
"We cannot let our economic progress be undermined by those who would do us harm," Mr Maude said.
As part of the UK's cyber-security strategy published in 2011, the UK government has allotted since £860m to the national cyber-security programme.

Tempest by Julie Cross
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
so, when Jackson time travels. Nothing changes in his present time
First of all, it's only make sense that if a person did something, it triggers different result of future if that person did another action. it's the rule of probabilities, basic logic.
It's strange to read that Jackson's time-travels doesn't change the future.He could change the possibility of his girlfriend - Holly's death, rather than going back to 2007. Make life easier, don't 'cha think?... if the time travel thinggy sorted out~
The overall theme of the book would be better if it's not viewed with too much 'rose tinted light', aka romantic side of the characters. Yes romance is cute and blablabla, but i believe that this book would attract more audience if the adventure kick-ass side overpower the romance side. Jackson would be less douchebag 'oh-yeah-i'm-the-sex-god-ladies-can't-resist-me', dude, you're only 19... no episode of Geordie Shore please! . To be honest, i don't like the guy AT ALL . He is potrayed as Mr. Perfect with lotta money, multilingual, 'hot body' no girls can't resist, and 'oh i'm such a bad boy, i like having sex with proper airhead easy girls'. Even the 13 years old me back in the past WON'T worship this guy. Instead,i would remove his jewels if he is anywhere near me.
There's so much i could say and whine about, but i have no effort to pronounce my disappointment towards something that could potentially be a great YA book *sigh*

Fact-checking Bill Clinton on ABC's 'This Week'
ABC's Jake Tapper interviewed Bill Clinton on This Week on April 18, 2010, covering issues ranging from Supreme Court nominees to health care to financial reform.
We examined Clinton's claim that, unlike President Barack Obama in his first year, Clinton never had a filibuster-proof Senate. Clinton said that was why he had to reach out more to Repubicans in the process to select a Supreme Court nominee, and why his health care plan ultimately fizzled. We found that the closest Clinton ever got to filibuster-proof was his first months in office, when he was still several Democrats short. In fact, Clinton spent most of his presidency with a Republican majority in the Senate. We ruled his statement True.
We also checked Clinton's claim that the 1993 balanced budget "led to an enormous flowering of the economy in America." We rated that Half True.
Stay tuned. We'll be publishing another Clinton Truth-O-Meter item on Tuesday.

The Stealth MVP
Tuesday October 27, 2009 5:39 AM
The Stealth MVP
Chuck Hayes more valuable than ever to Rockets' success
Chuck Hayes will begin the 2009-10 campaign by going toe-to-toe with Greg Oden.
Jason Friedman
Rockets.com Staff Writer
Portland - In some ways, Chuck Hayes is an ideal representation of what the Houston Rockets are all about. Yes, hes tough, resilient, courageous and probably the possessor of dozens of other flattering characteristics which we all love our favorite athletes to demonstrate. But the connection goes so much deeper than that.
When Daryl Morey took over as the Rockets General Manager during the summer of 2007, he rightfully received a great deal of attention due to his emphasis and expertise in the area of statistical analysis. But Morey is not and never was simply a numbers guy. He said from the start that his goal was simply to marry the objective with the subjective in such a way that the Rockets could make the most of any competitive advantage they could find. The immense amount of data he and his staff collect is part of that. But so, too, is the more traditional scouting process.
Thus, we return to the tale of Hayes, a player who cannot be properly defined by the numbers which inhabit a traditional box score. His career averages of 3.4 points and 5.1 rebounds per game dont exactly leap off the page. Dig deeper, however, and you begin to see why the Rockets hold him in such high regard. A small snapshot such as Hayes team-leading plus/minus during Houstons second-round series against the Lakers offers a glimpse into his value. But the big picture view is just as impressive: last year Hayes saved the Rockets approximately 6 points per game with his defense relative to that of an average player at his position. For reference, that number was good enough to place him in the top-10 of all players, regardless of position, in the NBA.
But toss aside those numbers for a moment and simply watch the 6-6, 238 pound Hayes play. See how hes so rarely caught out of position. Watch the deft quickness of his feet and the way he uses his strength and low center of gravity to turn the tables on bigger opponents so that suddenly, against all odds, their advantage has somehow become his. Marvel at his uncanny ability to defend the pick-and-roll to near perfection. This, then, is no player whos simply benefitting and being propped up by a bunch of statistical tricks. Hayes is a player providing your eyes with ample proof of his legitimacy nearly every second he spends on the floor; especially at the defensive end.
Whats more, this season the fifth-year forward from Kentucky figures to play his most prominent role yet with the Rockets. With Yao Ming recovering from offseason surgery on his injured foot and Dikembe Mutombo riding off into the sunset of retirement, Hayes is Houstons interior defender nonpareil. Aaron Brooks calls him the key to the Rockets defense. But why stop there? Given the importance of his role and the way he so often flies beneath the radar, perhaps a more appropriate label would be this: Stealth MVP.
It means I have a responsibility and Im willing to accept it, says Hayes matter-of-factly. If thats what this team needs me to do, to stabilize or help keep the other teams best offensive post player under control, Ill be willing to do it to anybody.
You have to want it. It has to be a pride thing. It has to be an accountability thing for your teammates that they can count on you to go out there and get the job done."
That challenge begins tonight with the Portland Trailblazers, a team Hayes has enjoyed plenty of success against in the past, especially when matched up with Blazers power forward LaMarcus Aldridge (even prompting the dawn of a new nickname, The Cooler). But Aldridge wont be Hayes assignment Tuesday night, at least not right off the bat, anyway. The Chuckwagon is slated to begin the game going one-on-one with 7-foot, 285 pound man-child Greg Oden, a player eager to build off a very strong preseason.
Weve said all along that Chucks our best defender we have inside, says Rockets Head Coach Rick Adelman. Unfortunately, hes going to have to do a lot of things that are really unfair. Hes going to be our starting center guarding people who are a lot bigger and stronger than he is but when Chucks on the floor were a much better defensive team thats pretty obvious.
Competitor that he is, Hayes says bring it on. Duncan, Nowitzki, Garnett, Gasol hes gone toe-to-toe with them all and looks forward to doing so again. At this point, hes not only used to the challenge, he relishes it.
Im excited, says Hayes with a smile. I know, being undersized, a lot of coaches and players feel they can get an easy bucket going against me and it thrills me to let them know that, Hey, its not going to be easy. So if they try to go into Oden early or if Im on Aldridge and they try to go to him for a basket, theyve got another thing coming.
And guess what? Whether you trust the numbers or your eyes, the conclusion is still the same: Chuck Hayes is absolutely right.

Former Miss Alabama Kalyn Chapman James says she can't help but feel like Dallas shooting suspect Micah Xavier Johnson was a "martyr" following the police involved shootings of black men in cities across the country. "I'm dealing with a bit of guilt because .. because I don't feel sad for the officers that lost their lives," said James, the first African American to hold the Miss Alabama title.

"I want to feel sad for them but I can't help but feeling like the shooter was a martyr," James said during a tearful, anguished Facebook Live video, titled "I don't want to feel this way," that's been viewed more than 300,000 times. "And I know it's not the right way to feel because nobody deserves to lose their lives. I know those police officers had families and people who loved them and that they didn't deserve to die."
At several points during the video, which James posted after church, her voice quakes with emotion.
"I'm so torn up in my heart about seeing these black men being gunned down in our community that I can't help but feel like I wasn't surprised by what the shooter did to those cops and I think a lot of us feel the same way," she said. "I know it's not right and I definitely don't condone violence."
She concludes with, "I'm sick of this. I'm sad and I'm hurt. Something has to be done, period. It's a lot to deal with."
She was crowned in 1993 and now lives in Florida.
Dallas Police Senior Cpl. Lorne Ahrens, Officers Michael Krol and Patrick Zamarripa and Sgt. Michael Smith and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Officer Brent Thompson were shot to death Thursday at the end of a protest march in downtown Dallas. Johnson was killed by a robot-delivered bomb after negotiations failed.
"He wanted to kill officers," Dallas Police Chief David Brown said during a news conference. "The suspect stated that he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers. He expressed anger for Black Lives Matter."
But the suspect acted alone and was not affiliated with any groups, Brown added.
"All I know is this must stop," Brown said. "This divisiveness between our police and our citizens."
President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush are scheduled to speak at an interfaith service in Dallas today.

In this simple science book, children will learn about the different states of water-liquid, vapor, and solid, and what happens when water changes from one state to another. An illustration of the water cycle helps explain how water evaporates, moves to the sky, and falls back down as rain or snow.
This clear, simple book introduces children to the concept that living things need energy, and energy comes from food. Starting with an introduction to photosynthesis, children will follow along the food chain as the energy flows to herbivores and carnivores. A diagram, using photos of plants, a rabbit, and a fox, demonstrates a food chain. A detailed illustration of a forest food web follows.
Animals hide to avoid being eaten or to sneak up on animals they want to eat. This amazing book introduces children to some basic science concepts. Fascinating photographs feature animals that can change color, or that have different shapes and patterns, so that they can blend into their surroundings. A special section also features animals that do not need to hide.
Young readers will be delighted to learn more about the animals living around them. At the same time, they will be introduced to some basic science concepts. Wonderful photographs help show the connection between non-living things, such as sunshine and soil, and living things, such as plants, animals, and people. An activity offers suggestions on how children can become backyard helpers.
Pugs have a snoring problem that can't be helped. Short, flat muzzles set the wrinkly-faced canines up for noisy breathing during naptime. Good thing pug owners find the sound endearing! This and other quirks will make for memorable elementary reading.

Rather than sit out for seven months waiting for his May 14 non-title bout against Falaniko Vitale, Bellator middleweight champion Hector Lombard will look to defend his other strap later this month in Australia. The highly-touted 27-2 middleweight fighter, will defend his Cage Fighting Championship 185-pound title against UFC and WEC veteran Joe Doerksen Down Under at CFC 16 at Big Top Luna Park in Sydney March 25.
Born in Cuba, Lombard resided in Australia for several years after defecting from the communist country following the 2000 Sydney Olympics. 20 of his 27 wins have come by finish including his record-setting six-second knockout of Jay Silva that earned him the fastest KO in Bellator history. The ATT-trained fighter has not lost since 2006 when he dropped a unanimous decision to Gegard Mousasi at PRIDE Bushido 13 and has never lost a fight in Australia. The closest he came was a draw to Kyle Noke in the inaugural CFC show in 2007. Soon after the fight with Noke, Lombard, who was then a welterweight, was signed by the UFC and was slated to take on Karo Parisyan at UFC 78. Visa issues forced Lombard off the card and prompted the UFC to tear up his contract.
At 46-14 in 60 career bouts, the former WEC number one middleweight contender, Doerksen brings with him experience unparalleled by any of Lombard's past opponents. "El Dirte" will be hungry for a win having lost his past two bouts. In his last fight at UFC 124 in December Doerkson lost a controversial split-decision to Dan Miller after controlling most of the bout and was dropped by the Zuffa-owned promotion as a result of two straight losses in the Octagon. He holds wins over Patrick Cote, Ed Herman, Riki Fukuda, Denis Kang, Travis Galbraith John Alessio and Lee Murray and has dropped decisions to David Loiseau, Nate Marquardt and Matt Lindland.

With the release of our Discord hotkeys, we got word that some Windows machines with Intel graphics cards were doing some weird stuff when certain hotkeys were.. hotkey'd. Specifically, this guy:
Luckily, if you've got tons of servers to zoom through, you can change the Intel keybinds to prevent them from getting in Discord's way, or disable them altogether (you know, if you don't find yourself rotating your screen on the daily).
1. Open Intel's Graphics and Media Control Panel
Pressing ctrl + alt + f12 will open up the control panel.
Like in the screenshot, make sure you've selected Basic Mode, and click ok. This'll bring us to the main control panel:
Here, click Options and Support. For our final screen, we can edit keybinds as needed:
You have two options here:
1. Disable Intel's keybinds entirely by de-selecting the "Enable" button:
2. Alter only the offending keybinds for rotating your screen:
Either of those steps will work here. In the case that you chose to disable the hotkey for opening the Graphics and Media Control panel (ctrl + alt + f12), you can still open the panel in the future by searching for it in Cortana:
And you're good to go!

Five things for pharma marketers to know: Thursday, April 20, 2017
1. Tesaro disclosed the price of its new ovarian cancer treatment Zejula, revealing a per-month cost of $9,833 at a once-per-day dose of 200 mg. However, the drug was approved at a per-day dose of 300 mg, which increases the monthly cost by 50%, to $14,750. (TheStreet)
2. uniQure, which developed the first gene therapy drug Glybera, announced it would not renew its marketing authorization in Europe. The company's CEO, Matthew Kapusta, said Glybera's usage "has been extremely limited" and that he did not envision demand significantly increasing in the years ahead.

'The Gathering' by Toby Hay "...a work of virtuosity"(March 16, 2017)
It's rarely that one describes an album as 'overwhelmingly stunning', however the delicate melodies and soul-touching tunes woven by Toby Hay's dramatic touch makes that an easy way to sum up his debut album, 'The Gathering'. At the same time sorrowing and melancholy, uplifting and joyous ... this piece of work holds tales of people and experiences, illustrations of places real and conjured, and creates physical presences out of imagination.
Some may wonder how an album of acoustic guitar-driven instrumentals can hold its audience ... not even a question with this music. Its travels between emotions and images are vital, they live and breathe, making it so easy to become one with its hypnotic embrace. The tunes are magical explorations in themselves ... 'Mayfair at Rhayader 1927', 'A Thiefs Tale', the delectable 'Sketches of a Roman Fort', 'Black Brook' and the fleeting spirit of 'Starlings' .. each one a work of virtuosity.
Musicians on 'The Gathering' are Toby Hay (6 and 12-string guitar, harmonium) Angela Chan (Violin, viola, cello) Rob Bromley (violin) and Peter Scot (double bass).

Last week, I had a drink with the Commuter Boys, a club that meets once a month in the local tavern. I've only been out with them once before, about a year ago; although they're all sterling chaps, the all-male drinking session is not my natural habitat. But Mrs Commuter Spy had gone to bed early, and I was feeling sociable.
We had a blast. The real ale flowed; people ate sausages, which you could order from the bar; then came the curry.
Throughout the evening, the trains were a recurring topic of conversation. We particularly enjoyed discussing the relative merits of the blue trains (boo!) and the white trains (yay!). Somebody shared an unfounded rumour that Wi-Fi was coming to the railway. But it was only towards the end of the evening that somebody mentioned Big Rob.
I quickly learnt that Big Rob is God. At least, so far as the 18:05 is concerned. This is not a train that I tend to catch, but apparently for many years there has been an established 18:05 drinking club. A collection of people, blokes mainly, get on the train early and cause great annoyance by buying up every beer in the bar before the train has even departed. Then they get drunk on the way home, colonising the bar and generally becoming lairy and obnoxious.
And the whole thing revolves around Big Rob. As a non-18:05-er, I'd never seen him before, or even heard of him. But I was told that he is immensely tall and burly, with a bulging beer gut and grey hair that stands up straight on his head. Rumour has it that he went through a messy divorce some years ago, and has since turned to the bottle. He is the life and soul of the party.
"Oh God, Big Rob," said John From The Platform, when I asked him if he knew the man. "Big Rob and his cronies are a nightmare. Whenever it's someone's birthday, they go to M & S and get in the sausages, the pork pies and the scotch eggs. Then they drink the bar dry. I saw this one woman, who was leaving her job, get totally legless on the train. When it came to her stop, they had to literally carry her off."
As fate would have it, the following evening I had a meeting in town, and found myself dashing for the 18:05. I only just made it on to the train, and ended up sitting on the floor just outside the bar carriage. After a few minutes I remembered Big Rob, and my curiosity was piqued. I got up and peered through the door.
So far as I could tell, all of the stories were true. The bar was crammed with bellowing men in shirtsleeves, and one or two beefy, red-faced women. A passenger bravely pushed his way through to buy a drink, to the evident displeasure of the 18:05 club. He returned rather mournfully with an orange juice.
But I couldn't spot Big Rob. I knew that he was heavy set and beer-swollen, with short grey hair. But to be honest, several men fitted that description.
I think I'll take the Commuter Boys' advice, and steer well clear in future.

Advertisement plays the huge role in the world of business development and current market expansions. Advertising always has been the key factor in the world of marketing. Advertising builds the trust and confidence in the people, they get familiarize with the costs and your product features. Without it, marketing is useless.
Although the advertisement has a multidimensional role for all the success of the business, and growth but generally speaking it covers all these areas:
- It increases sales by informing people about the products or services being offered by any particular company.
- It creates a better brand image.
- It is a mode of communication between the buyer and seller.
- It is a mode of informing the potential market about most recent changes in the existing product line and about the latest brand line of the company.
To achieve a long lasting advertising effect, one should never chase illegitimate techniques but instead, should follow fair share way of advertising. Frequently, people feel irritated if they are given spam advertisements, but they paid the fair amount out of attention to understand and view the ads presented in a great manner. Advertising builds the product reputation, whether it be a bad or good. The consumers have to be entertained by newspaper, television, and the internet has launched a new kind of advertising. Advertisers are beginning to utilize famous entertainers in their ads so that people pay attention to them.
Every radio advertisement has somebody that every consumer will recognize at the end of the day. Whether it be a comedian, a movie star, athlete, or a reality television star, such advertiser will ensure that a percentage of the audience knows that particular person. Not only do they entice our attention with the usage of somebody famous, but they also entice our trust. When you this person on TV all the time, you feel comfortable with the product immediately without knowing what it does. Try the affordable Radio Melbourne.
Radio advertising is more effective if it is combined with other forms of advertising. For example, television or print ads run in connection with your radio campaign can be effective. Radio advertising is persuasive and invasive and reaches a captive audience, and it turned out to be more effective when the owners to use two or more means of media for advertisement at the same time as radio and internet. With the popularity of Internet Radio, this delivers another audience, and the list of gains derived from the radio is increasing exponentially.

Whether they appear in a formal, long-stemmed bouquet on a romantic occasion, or in a rambling, sweet-smelling springtime garden, it's easy to understand the enduring popularity of roses. Martha visits with Ray Reddell, owner of Garden Valley Ranch in Petaluma, California, to take a look inside the world of commercial rose growing. The Garden Valley production farm grows and distributes nationwide some of the highest-quality roses available in the United States.
At Garden Valley, roses are cut in the fields in the early morning, while the buds are still closed. This keeps the blooms from being damaged and will allow them to open after they are shipped for sale. After picking, the roses are brought indoors, where they are sorted according to stem length. Roses are categorized by the length of their stems, as well as by the quality of the blooms. Roses with the longest stems are graded "blue." Those with medium-length stems are "red," and those with short stems are "yellow."
Following sorting, the roses at Garden Valley are processed. Ray explains to Martha that the most important step in the processing of roses is re-cutting the stems underwater. This step creates a temporary seal -- preventing an air bubble from forming inside the stem. Air in the stem can travel up to the bloom, causing it to nod prematurely. Ray also discusses some other ways to keep cut roses looking their best. He recommends adding a few drops of household bleach to the water to keep away fungus. Also, adding about one teaspoon of sugar to the water in the vase will feed the roses and help keep them lively.
After processing, roses at Garden Valley are bundled and shipped in bunches of ten, then tagged with the Garden Valley Ranch logo -- their symbol of top quality.

A peach-colored hybrid tea rose.
A David Austin English rose that is sold with small tight buds of rich yellow-apricot that open in the vase.

Engineers have developed a new a mobile detection system to fight the growing threat of contaminated drinking water. Within the European research project DINAMICS they have built a microchip system which is able to identify specific dangerous bacteria, viruses or unicellular organisms
The technology uses several nano-biological sensors to monitor the presence of several bioterrorism agents in drinking water. On location, the system will filter a sample of water and – in case of a contamination – it will send out a signal to the authorities who will take actions according to a national or local action plan.
The know-how developed within the project is not only limited to detecting water contamination. The technology can also be transferred to different industrial applications, such as medical diagnostics or pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Between the lines, Read offers investors a split preview
Pfizer's Ian Read performed a Hamlet-esque burlesque ("To split or not to split?") yesterday in a conference call with Bernstein's Tim Anderson, telling investors that the company is still weighing the merits of a breakup, but that at a managerial level, the giant's "innovative core" and "value company" sides are already largely separate—at least in the developed world.
"I would acknowledge that there are two businesses within Pfizer that will become clearer and clearer as emerging markets mature," said Read. "One is an innovative core, which should be fast-growing, high research percentage, science based, technical detailing, and one would be a value company that has a lot of products that are post-LOE [Loss Of Exclusivity], some of them competing in a pure generics space and some competing in emerging markets in a branded space."
With the sale of the company's nutritionals division to Nestle and the partial spin-off of its animal health unit completed, Pfizer brass is turning its attention to the firm's core pharmaceuticals business, creating separate management and reporting structures for those units that will "eventually" generate separate profit and loss statements. The plan, then, is to provide "transparency" on the two divisions, see how shareholders respond and then weigh further cleaving the company's new and established products units—a process that would take several years. Where it gets tricky is where they overlap—in emerging markets, in manufacturing and on consumer products, which the company has decided not to spin off, given its utility for wringing profit from all of those LOEs, especially in emerging markets.
"We have not separated out emerging markets and of course the manufacturing area is difficult, because many plants are multipurpose," said Read. "We can move relatively quickly to give you, if we choose to do so, visibility on a P&L basis for those two businesses," but separating manufacturing would be tough "and in fact may not be appropriate given the trials and tribulations that some of our competitors have had when they have not managed manufacturing as a corporate asset." Feel the burn, J&J and Novartis?
The pros of a split, said Read, include "maximizing the value of a value company business that needs to be managed with the culture of a generic company, with their unrelenting focus on cost and speed and management of prices, and freedom from some of the restrictions we have because of our transfer pricing and tax policies—and probably a company that can be more aggressive on the commercial/regulatory side than we're prepared to be because we have a reputation that's very important on the innovative side that we're not willing to put at any risk whatsoever," while eliminating "distractions" for the innovative side of the business. Some analysts have been clamoring for large pharmas like Pfizer and J&J to do just that.
On the downside, they'd lose the benefits of scale that come with a shared back office structure. A split would come with substantial upfront costs, and would require mind-bending manufacturing agreements spanning many years.
"But none of these things are impossible to overcome if you believe that the shareholders would prefer two independent entities because they believe that focused management with one objective," said Read, "one type of culture, would produce a better result."

The full body scanner allows security agents to electronically peek under a person's clothes during the screening process. But the government is promising that procedures are in place to protect the privacy of air travelers.
This is not new technology. It has been tested at a number of airports for the last couple years, but it is moving now to the front lines for a number of reasons, most notably the Christmas Day bombing attempt with explosives sewn into the alleged bomber's underwear.
And, while the new machines still provoke debate over privacy, the TSA believes it has taken steps to mitigate that concern.
It's called a backscatter machine. You stand, raise your arms, and low-level x-ray beams take a full body picture. It is designed to detect items both metallic and non-metallic. In doing so, it also reveals your body in a chalk-like image that is reviewed in a room removed from the security line.
"The officer that is at the machine with the passenger does not see the image. The officer that's way over in the resolution room, who's look at the image, does not see the passenger," said Eddie Mayenschein, TSA general manager of security operations
The TSA says that as soon as a passenger's image is reviewed, and that person cleared to move to the gate, the backscatter image is deleted. The system, they say, does not allow for image storing or printing.
"You can see they strike a pose, and in just a few seconds the image is taken and is sent to the resolution room," said Mayeschein.
Unlike regular metal detectors, backscatter requires that you empty everything from your pockets, and you still must remove your shoes -- a practice that routinely tops the flying public's frustration list.
The whole business of advanced imaging technology has been in the testing phase for the last couple years, and while airport managers are watching, they don't believe it will slow the lines through security.
"Anything we can do to continue to layer our security process and add another measure of protection, I think, is appreciated by the general public," said Chicago Aviation Commissioner Rosemarie Andolino.
"If it's gonna help airport security, I don't see why not," said passenger Evan Puruleski of Detroit.
"I'd prefer not to, but if it's going to make everything safer, well I guess it's a better idea. I'm not sure it's necessary either. I think it's a bit hyped up," said Triona O'Dwyer, a passenger from Dublin, Ireland.
In theory, this type of technology would be able to detect non-metallic explosives sewn into someone's underpants, but there are limits. The x-ray image is skin deep. It doesn't see inside the body.
Twenty of these machines will be operational at O'Hare by this May as primary screening devices. Passengers do have the option of refusing to go through the backscatter, but they are then subject to a hand-wanding and pat down.
The one backscatter machine at O'Hare became operational Monday afternoon in United's Terminal One. It is the primary screening device in one security line.

In what Tom Saleska called "an extremely physical match," CUW (4-1-1) staved off talented Aurora 1-0 on Friday afternoon at Fitting Field in an exciting NAC opener. Trevor Hess got the Falcon goal off an assist from Victor Mendoza but the outcome was in doubt until the end when CUW goalie Tom Anderson made a tremendous save on an "almost certain Aurora goal" in the closing minutes.
"Our defense played so well throughout," praised Saleska, "and Dan Braun took their most dangerous player out of the game."
CUW, winner of four straight matches, waltzes from the frying pan into the fire Monday evening when the Falcons travel to UW-Oshkosh. The host Titans will be ripe for revenge after Concordia handed them a 1-0 defeat last season- dashing their NCAA Tourney bid hopes in the process.

Even Angelino Alfano, the national secretary of Mr Berlusconi's Forza Italia party and until now one of his most loyal supporters, urged colleagues to vote for Prime Minister Enrico Letta in a confidence voted scheduled for Wednesday.
"I am firmly convinced that our party as a whole should vote confidence in Letta tomorrow," he said.
In a rare rebuke to the media tycoon, Carlo Giovanardi, a longtime Berlusconi stalwart, said a host of Berlusconi's centre-right MPs will vote to keep Mr Letta's five-month-old government afloat. That might ensure the centre-left leader wins the proposed vote on the government's survival.
Angry that centre-left senators will vote soon to strip him of his Senate seat because of his tax-fraud conviction, Berlusconi yanked his ministers from the government last week.
Pressure is building on the 77-year-old media mogul to drop his bid to sabotage Letta and climb down from a row with President Giorgio Napolitano.
The argument erupted after an Italian television channel aired an intercepted phone conversation in which Mr Berlusconi said he had been told that Napolitano had exerted pressure to ensure that a court case involving his holding company went against him.
The case involved Mr Berlusconi's Fininvest company, which was recently fined 494 million euros (£418 million) by Italy's supreme court after being found guilty of bribing a judge in a bid to influence the acquisition of the Mondadori publishing group two decades ago.
Mr Berlusconi alleged that the 88-year-old president, a stalwart of the Italian Left, contacted the court to find out about the verdict before it had been handed down and then applied pressure to ensure the outcome was negative for Mr Berlusconi.
President Napolitano denied the allegation and issued a statement in which he said it was "another delirious, vulgar and slanderous invention".
The row worsened already tense relations between the two leaders.
President Napolitano is exasperated with Mr Berlusconi's attempts to bring down the five-month-old coalition government and last week described as "absurd" the ex-prime minister's claims that judges who convicted him of massive tax fraud in August were attempting "a coup d'etat".
Mr Berlusconi wants to see the coalition government disintegrate, parliament dissolved and new elections called – but a new vote can only be ordered by the president.
For all his wealth and media influence, Mr Berlusconi is in an increasingly precarious position.
Many of his own party members have expressed deep reservations over the move to try and bring down the coalition, saying it is irresponsible at a time when the euro zone's third largest economy desperately needs firm political leadership and wide-ranging reforms.
A return to political instability would derail those reforms and could revive Europe's financial crisis as Italy tries to reduce its public debt, which amounts to nearly 130 per cent of GDP.
"Making the government fall would be a mistake," Fabrizio Cicchitto, a senior member of Mr Berlusconi's People of Freedom (PDL) party, told La Repubblica newspaper.
The billionaire businessman's party is dividing into two camps – hawks who will remain loyal to Mr Berlusconi come what may, and doves who advocate cooperation with the centre-Left Democratic Party and the continued survival of the coalition.
It has raised the prospect that a group of moderates will rebel against Mr Berlusconi and side instead with Mr Letta, signalling an historic split in a party that has dominated Italian politics for 20 years.
That has given some hope to the prime minister, who insisted on the confidence vote in both houses of parliament and hinted that unless he wins it he will step down from office, throwing Italy into even greater political chaos.
Mr Berlusconi's combative mood will not be helped by a vote due to be taken by a Senate committee on Friday which is likely to lead to him being stripped of his Senate seat and thrown out of parliament for good, following his August conviction for tax fraud.
His expulsion, if approved, is likely to happen sometime later this month, with the former premier then facing the humiliating prospect of house arrest or community service.

Author Notes: This jalepeno infused ice cream with a sweet, roasted peach swirl is sure to make your tastebuds dance. Light on the spice, but intense on flavor, this savory and sweet treat is sure to please.
This recipe was inspired by my move from Ohio, where I visited Jeni's shops multiple times per week, to Arizona, the home of hot weather and hot food. When I recieved my Jeni's cookbook, I not only began making the classic flavors, quart by quart, but I designed my own Southwestern-style recipe. —Sophia Galloway
Makes: one quart
Roasted Peach Sauce
cups fresh yellow peaches, peeled and sliced
cup sugar
teaspoons cornstarch
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the peaches, sugar, and cornstarch in a 9-inch square baking dish, tossing to mix. Roast for 30 minutes until juices are thicked and bubbly, stirring after 15 minutes. Let cool and puree in food processor until smooth. Then chill in the refrigerator.
Ice Cream Base
cups whole milk
tablespoon cornstarch
teaspoon cornstarch
1 and 1/2
ounces cream cheese, softened
teaspoon fine sea salt
1 and 1/4
cups heavy cream
cup sugar
tablespoons light corn syrup
medium jalepeno peppers, halved and seeds removed
- PREP: Mix about 2 tablespoons of the milk with the cornstarch in a small bowl to make a smooth slurry. Whisk the cream cheese and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Fill a large bowl with ice and water.
- COOK: Combine the remaining milk, the cream, sugar, corn syrup, and jalepeno halves in a 4-quart saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat and boil for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and gradually whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Bring the mixture back to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring with a heatproof spatula, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
- CHILL: Gradually whisk the hot milk mixture into the cream cheese mixture until smooth. Pour the mixture into a 1-gallon Ziploc freezer bag and submerge the sealed bag in the ice bath. Let stand, adding more ice as necessary, until cold, about 30 minutes.
- FREEZE: Remove jalepeno halves, pour the ice cream base into the frozen canister, and spin until creamy. Pack the ice cream into a storage container, alternating it with layers of the roasted peach sauce and ending with a spoonful of sauce; do not mix. Press a sheet or parchment directly against the surface, and seal with an airtight lid. Freeze in the coldest part of your freezer until firm, at least 4 hours.

Lupus Research Institute Advocacy Gains $2 Million in New Congressional Appropriations to Improve Lupus Diagnosis and Treatment
Brings Total to $6.6 Million to Educate Healthcare Professionals on Front-Lines of Care
Jan 14, 2014, 01:31 EST
NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2014 Omnibus Appropriations Bill released by the U.S. Congress last night provides $2 million to further the Lupus Initiative, the lupus provider education program conceived by the Lupus Research Institute (LRI) in collaboration with the federal government. Expected to pass this week, the appropriation will bring total support to $6.6 million for the LRI's signature advocacy program initiated to meet the urgent need for better lupus care, particularly among underserved populations.
The new bill allocates funding to the Department of Health and Human Services to integrate the Lupus Initiative into the national healthcare system. Managed by the American College of Rheumatology, the Lupus Initiative was officially launched in 2013 by the Office of Minority Health, Office of Women's Health and the U.S. Surgeon General to improve diagnosis and reduce health disparities. As described in the report language accompanying the bill, the funding is "intended to engage healthcare professionals, educators, and schools of health professions in working together to improve lupus diagnosis and treatment through education."
"Lupus remains dangerously undiagnosed, underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed, especially in our minority communities," noted LRI CEO Margaret Dowd. "Our LRI patient advocates across America thank Congress for appropriating funds to train healthcare professionals, especially those on the front-lines, to spot this complex autoimmune disease early so patients can get appropriate care promptly."
Protecting Research in Lupus and Other Devastating Diseases
The bill also provides $29.9 billion to fund biomedical research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
"Congress listened to the LRI and the many other organizations seeking to support our national biomedical research investment. We appreciate that in a very tight budgetary environment, Congress responded to protect the science and advance lupus research," noted Ms. Dowd. "Stopping the deep cuts in NIH funding begins to address the amounts that have been lost to the budget sequestration process. The renewed commitment to scientific discovery is hopeful for our lupus patient advocates who worked hard to voice that need to their federal representatives. The LRI is proud to have made a difference."
About Lupus
A dangerous autoimmune disease, lupus affects over 1.5-million Americans, primarily young women in their childbearing years. Minority populations are especially at risk. In lupus, the immune system, which is designed to protect against infection, creates antibodies that attack the body's own tissues and organs. Symptoms include intense fatigue, joint pains, thinking and memory problems, and skin rashes.
About The Lupus Research Institute
The Lupus Research Institute (LRI), the leading private supporter of novel research in lupus, pioneers discovery and champions scientific creativity as it demonstrates the power of innovation to propel scientific discovery in this complex autoimmune disease. Founded by families and shaped by leading scientists, the Institute has generated $170 million in novel lupus research, delivering many of the decade's most pivotal discoveries, transforming treatment and advancing toward prevention and a cure.
With its National Patient Coalition of regional lupus organizations, the Lupus Research Institute improves patient care by promoting research awareness, education and advocacy as it drives to A Life Without Lupus. For more information, visit www.lupusresearchinstitute.org.

The state Department of Transportation today announced that a bridge along the route of the Hartford Marathon will be ready for Saturday's race.
As a press conference was held nearby, workers installed metal grates on the side of Broad Street, and put down pavers in the space between the sidewalk and the curb on the edge of the street.
The Broad Street bridge was rebuilt so the busway could travel underneath it.
DOT Commissioner James Redeker says some additional work will be performed after the race.
"We are not completed yet, but the original surface is down," Redeker said. "We will come back after the race, about a month later we will have the final pavement layer down."
Last year, the DOT put down temporary pavement, to allow runners to cross the bridge.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'GBAtemp & Scene News' started by Tempbot, Jan 16, 2009.
what the hell?
isn't the movie supposed to be really crap?
AFAIK, that's never stopped the development of crappy licensed games...
Yo dawg, I herd you like Dustfinger, so I put a Dustfinger in yo Dustfinger so you can burst into flames while you burst into flames.
Wow, this is out early. I wasn't expecting it for another week.
offtopic: Hey, you are one of those release groups, cool.
ontopic: I really should consider watching this movie, after I see a few 'kamehameha's in theatres.
Isn't this movie just the same as Bedtime Stories?
Except this movie is based on a book that's been out for quite some time. If anything, Bedtime Stories is the copycat.
Also, this is supposed to be a lot more serious than Bedtime Stories.
On the other hand, there's always Animal Boxing, which came out a month ago.
More Movie games? :3
"So sad... He died of inkheart."
Am I the only one who doesn't remember unicorns in the book?
I really wish they would just ban all games from being published that are from DSI, or licensed from a TV show, movie, or comic, with just a few rare exceptions. Also, the entire Imagine series. I understand the shovelware profits help the AAA titles, but good god, there are 1000+ releases for DS, and only 150 decent games out of those?
They should ban developers from making games and publishers from publishing those games because you don't like them? How dare companies make bad games! It is common knowledge that the world revolves around jesterscourt and all games should be approved by you before being retail'd. [/s]
The movie was actually pretty good.
It just wasn't based off Inkheart.
Anyway, those film/book/whatever games really suck.
The only two good ones I rememer were the first two Harry Potters for the GBC. After that, the GBA and DS versions went downhill at an alarming speed...
Edit: I used to play those back in the day when I first got a GBC. I was always stuck in the second level or so.
Is that a unicorn and Brendan Frasier?
Well, played a bit out of curiosity, and here is what I found:
It's kind of a point-and-click adventure / mini-game thing played in book-style form. I like book-style, but there's no left-handed option. Graphics are really bad, and the very first mini-game is kind of frustrating -- a trial-and-error sort of thing.
Not my bag.
DSI seems to have taken the role of THQ of the early 90's.
Still cant find it anywere. =(

The 68-page report outlines the detailed observations and recommendations made by the panel. In 2012 and 2013, the roughly 30 members of the board reviewed 21 cases of domestic-violence homicide that occurred between April 2009 and September 2013. The cases represent those that were closed during the review period.
Of those 21 cases, 17 homicides involved intimate partners, while the remaining four involved violence committed against family members other than a spouse. The 21 perpetrators attacked 27 victims. Nearly all the victims were killed, while several others were seriously injured and just one escaped the attack without injury.
Of the 21 killings reviewed, one involved a father killing his 4-month-old child. In another case, a 6-week-old boy was in his mother's arms when the attacker shot her multiple times in the back. Other children were forced to watch as one parent killed another. One was even put to bed by his father in the same room as his mother's dead body, moments after she had been killed by the child's father.
All told, the 21 cases of homicide exposed 14 children to killings by an abusive parent, the report states.
"That's 14 children who lost one or both parents, 14 children of all ages, from three weeks to 17 years, whose lives were forever disrupted and traumatized."
The report includes dozens of pages of recommendations, including proposals for police, prosecutors, judges, health providers, state officials and the public. They include recommendations that:
• Law enforcement agencies increase collaboration with domestic abuse resource centers.
• Police officers offer victims and offenders domestic abuse referral services and other necessary information, similar to a "blue card" handed out by officers in the Bangor Police Department.
• Health care providers regularly screen all patients, in private, for physical abuse and coercive behavior.
• Schools offer ongoing and consistent education about domestic abuse and dating violence at all levels.
• The judicial system and police work even more diligently to secure all firearms that courts order be relinquished by perpetrators.
Lisa Marchese, assistant attorney general for homicide and member of the panel, said the group observed that the presence of firearms makes bad situations likely to become worse. More than half the domestic-violence homicides reviewed were perpetrated with guns, which continue to be the weapon of choice for killers.
"Domestic violence often escalates in severity over time, and the presence of a firearm increases the likelihood that it will escalate to homicide. All too often, the only difference between a battered woman and a dead woman is the presence of a gun," she said, quoting a 2014 U.S. Supreme Court decision.
