WWE Diva Kelly Kelly Covers Maxim
I haven't watched professional wrestling in years. The last time I was into the action of the squared circle WCW Nitro was at a ratings war with WWE Monday Night RAW, Hulk Hogan was the leader of the NWO, and the most prominent female in the industry was the hulkish Chyna. Well, look how far we've come! WWE Diva Kelly Kelly is covering the current December 2011 issue of Maxim Magazine.
The issue features an interview with the gorgeous blonde diva. When asked to name her favorite wrestler, she says "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. "He's always been my idol," she says. Kelly also says she would like to get in the ring with Lindsay Lohan. "She needs some sense knocked into her," she says. She also reveals that WWE owner Vince McMahon taught her how to striptease. This actually sounds like it's worth the price of admission.

|[jira] Updated: (IVY-1179) Packager resolver always extracts all files from archives even when the packaging instructions contains include tags

Let's assume we have a module testng (example is taken from the examples in the Packager Resolver documentation) and we have a packager module descriptor (the packaging instructions) packager.xml specifying the following resource: > {code:xml} > <resource dest="archive" url="http://testng.org/${zipname}.zip" sha1="2ea19275dc17453306f8bb780fe6ef6e9af7756b"> > <include name="${zipname}/*.jar"/> > </resource> > {code} > this instructs the package resolver to download the resources from http://testng.org/... and then extract the archive, but only all JAR files in the root of the archive. > in this case only the JAR's in the ZIP file should be extracted from the resource, but that's not the case. at first i didn't notice this, but i was creating the packaging instructions for a project which is in a huge ZIP file and so i only wanted to extract the files that i actually needed, but i noticed that the extraction took way to long. > i then configured the packager resolver to preserve the build directories (where the archive is extracted) for debugging purposes and i noticed that the complete archive was still extracted although the packager.xml file contained the necessary 'include' tags to only inluce 3 JAR's. > when using the preserveBuildDirectories switch on the packager resolver, it's also possible to view the ANT build file packager-output.xml (this one is generated by the packager resolver based on the packaging instructions). this build file is executed by the package resolver to do the extraction process. this is the relevant part of the packager-output.xml file for the above mentioded example for TestNG: > {code:xml} > <unzip src="${resdir.N65541}${file.separator}${filename.N65541}" dest="archive"> > <fileset dir="."> > <include name="testng-2.5/*.jar"/> > </fileset> > </unzip> > {code} > but this is incorrect and that's why the complete zip is still extracted. the 'fileset' tag should be used to indicate a set of ZIP files that need to be extracted, not to indicate which resources from the archive (specified in the 'src' attribute of the unzip tag) need to be included when extracting. 'patternset' is what we need here instead of 'fileset' > the actual problem is situated in the file src/java/org/apache/ivy/plugins/resolver/packager/packager.xsl on line 420 (in the ivy core project). > {code:xml} > <xsl:when test="$type = 'zip' or $type = 'war' or $type = 'jar'"> > <unzip src="{$file}" dest="{$dir}"> > <xsl:if test="$includes"> > <fileset dir="."> > <xsl:copy-of select="$includes"/> > </fileset> > </xsl:if> > </unzip> > </xsl:when> > {code} > should be: > {code:xml} > <xsl:when test="$type = 'zip' or $type = 'war' or $type = 'jar'"> > <unzip src="{$file}" dest="{$dir}"> > <xsl:if test="$includes"> > <patternset> > <xsl:copy-of select="$includes"/> > </patternset> > </xsl:if> > </unzip> > </xsl:when> > {code} > the same needs to be done for the TAR part in the packages.xsl file. > i already tried this fix and it works. > if that's OK, i'll create a patch for this and provide the necessary unit tests to illustrate the problem and the fix. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

PARIS- A report by Amnesty International disclosing the practice of torture by the Moroccan authorities in Morocco and in occupied Western Sahara will be presented, on 19 May, in the moment when fears have been expressed by NGOs on a French-Moroccan agreement of legal cooperation, which came under heavy criticism
Entitled "The shadow of impunity: Torture in Morocco and in Western Sahara," this report which will be presented by Geneviève Garrigos, Head of Amnesty International France (AIF), is part of Amnesty International's campaign "Stop Torture", media reported.
This document notably unveils "the use of torture and other mal-treatments by the Moroccan police forces, especially during the police custodyand interrogations," the same source said.
It confirms the information, already been issued. Recently, the president of Robert F. Kennedy Centre of Human Rights (RFK), Kerry Kennedy, had said that "the reports on human rights violations in Western Sahara by Morocco are undeniable."
Amnestydocument points out that "any citizen can be tortured: demonstrators, political activists or students as persons suspected of terrorism or common crime."
Based on 173 cases of torture committed between 2010 and 2014, the report cites two Moroccan nationals victims of torture, including a captain the Royal Moroccan Air Force sentenced to two years and a half in prison and arbitrarily detained for 30 months for having denounced in the newspaper Le Monde, corruption prevailing within the Moroccan army.

Mobile River Conditions.
We got there about noon and there was a cluster of logs coming down which made me think "not good". Then it cleared up and there was just a random log here and there. Then for the next 30 minutes, we didn't see any logs. I have no idea of the ratio of 'seen' vs. 'unseen' logs is so I can't comment on that. Then I saw 2 small crew boats running about 20 kts and the a mid size Cabin type fishing boat cruising at high speed looking like they didn't have a care in the world. I would assume that the crew boats and the pleasure craft were familiar with the area and were relatively unconcerned so I think it's about cleared of most logs.
The current was very slow. Not being familiar with the river system, I am totally in awe over how quickly things change from good to bad and back to good again.
As far as I am concerned, the river is safe to travel.
We don't like to start out unless we have a forecast of 3 good days in a row. Then after that, it doesn't matter. The admiral and I have had 2 really bad days on Mobile Bay in the past and so she is a little gun shy.
We will be bringing van back to mini-storage on Monday and then standing by for weather forecast. Looks like around wed or Thurs.

Low-Carb Diets: New Concerns about Cholesterol and Regained Weight
Low-Carb Diets: New Concerns about Cholesterol and Regained Weight
Tomorrow's Annals of Internal Medicine contains two reports that raise more cautions about low-carbohydrate diets. The first, conducted at Duke University, showed that LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels rose in 30 percent of low-carbohydrate dieters. The second, conducted at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center, showed that weight lost during low-carbohydrate dieting started to return after six months.
Normally, weight loss causes cholesterol levels to fall. However, some low-carbohydrate dieters have experienced the opposite effect—significant increases of cholesterol levels. In the Duke University study, LDL rose only slightly (and nonsignificantly) for the group overall. However, some participants had marked LDL increases. Two dropped out because of high LDL cholesterol levels: One had an LDL increase from 182 mg/dl to 219 mg/dl in four weeks; the second had an increase from 184 mg/dl to 283 mg/dl in three months. (Normal levels are < 100 mg/dl, and some experts call for lower limits.) A third participant developed chest pain and was subsequently diagnosed with coronary heart disease. In all, 45 people followed the low-carbohydrate diet for 6 months. But 30 percent of them had an LDL cholesterol increase of more than 10 percent.
In the Philadelphia VA study, low-carbohydrate dieters lost substantial amounts of weight over the first six months. But after that point, the average weight began to climb so that weight loss after one year (11.2 pounds) was not significantly better than that seen with comparison diets. Two study participants died, one from hyperosmolar coma five months into the study, and the second from severe ischemic cardiomyopathy ten months into the study.

While opinions differ about the strength of the U.S. economy and the prognosis for the remainder of 2005, one thing seems clear: There will be a great deal of deal-making this year. Thomson Financial, which tracks deal data, reports that December saw a historic number of mergers and acquisitions worldwide-outpacing even December 1999, at the height of the stock market bubble.
According to Thompson, there were more than 8,000 deals last year, with a combined value of $844 billion. At the merger-market peak in 2000, deal values came to $1.6 trillion. The total fell by more than half in 2001 to $743 billion and slumped further in 2002 to $429 billion.
Media Editor Sean Callahan's Page 1 story in this issue underscores the marketing challenges of three combinations announced last month: Oracle Corp.'s acquisition of PeopleSoft, the merger of Sprint and Nextel, and Symantec's acquisition of Veritas Software Corp.
Media companies are being swept up in the M&A wave, too. The number of deals in the media and information industries totaled 394 in 2004 compared with 201 in 2003, a jump of 30.9%, according to media investment bank Jordan, Edmiston Group.
Over the years, numerous books and studies have been published about mergers and acquisitions. What does this mountain of research conclude? Simply this: The much-touted benefits of any merger-"synergies" between the partners' markets, products, services or areas of expertise-are seldom realized.
Take KPMG's two seminal surveys in 1999 and 2001. The share-price analysis in the 1999 survey was that 17% of the deals added shareholder value, 30% caused no significant change and 53% lowered value. In the 2001 study, the share-price analysis numbers improved: 30% of the deals added shareholder value, 39% caused no change, and 31% lowered value.
In both surveys, confidential telephone interviews with board members who were asked to comment on the outcome of the transaction found a majority (82% in 1999, 75% in 2001) said their deal was a success. This shouldn't surprise anyone, since candor about mistakes is the rarest commodity inside a corporation.
KPMG also distilled six factors it said were important to achieving M&A success. These comprised three "hard keys" (synergy evaluation, integration planning and expanded due diligence) and three "soft keys" (management selection, cultural integration and communications). That last item, "communications" encompasses marketing, both internal and external.
During a merger, "employees struggle, customers struggle and your competitors feed on that," said Melissa Gritman, a senior consultant at global human resources outsourcing and consulting firm Hewitt Associates. Her advice? "Continuously provide sales and marketing, and all the people who interact with your customers, as much information as you're able to release."
If the above isn't scary enough, consider these sobering factors:
n The influence of the Internet on commerce and communications has vastly accelerated the pace and visibility of business. If your merged organization bobbles the product pipeline, distribution channels, corporate messaging, even your Web site, your customers and competitors will know about it within a few clicks, and react accordingly.
n Sales and marketing organizations within companies are often, at best, dysfunctional. Trying to merge departments between organizations is not for the faint of heart.
n Downsized key departments may be ill-prepared for the heavy lifting required to make mergers succeed.
n Ongoing weakness in the U.S. dollar will likely mean a number of acquisitions by European and Asian companies. U.S. companies sitting on cash reserves may themselves seek international acquisition targets. Either way, cultural and communication difficulties are magnified when trying to integrate intercontinental organizations.
Yes, 2005 will see a surge in M&A activity. But if history is any guide, most of these marriages will end in disaffection or outright divorce. That won't stop them from happening. The urge to merge is powerful. But please ask this question before optimistically walking down the aisle: "Are we prepared?"

Rémy Martin, the French cognac brand owned by the Rémy Cointreau Group, has appointed Lowe and Partners as lead global agency following a competitive pitch.
London office DLKW Lowe led the winning pitch and will run the global Rémy Martin business, supported by Lowe and Partners network offices in the key regions of U.S. and China. The pitch was handled by Andrew Melsom of Agency Insight in the U.K. The appointment is effective immediately.
The former Vidal Partnership had previously handled some multicultural and Hispanic market work for the brand in the U.S.. and will continue its Rémy Martin Caribbean projects. Earlier this month, Vidal merged with Chicago-based Commonground and Miami-based MGSCOMM to form small holding company Commonground/MGS Founders.
Previously, Miami-based agency La Comunidad had been the brand's agency of record for general market business, winning the account in 2006. In 2008, it led rebranding efforts including limited-edition packaging for the brand's VSOP with the multi-platform "Things Are Getting Interesting" campaign. La Comunidad also launched the Remy V product in 2010 before parting ways with the client in early 2011. Earlier this year, La Comunidad was acquired by Sapient Corp. Publicis Groupe announced earlier this week that it was acquiring Sapient.
When contacted for comment, Lowe and Partners referred calls to the client.

Vacation rental house. Sleeps 6, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. No pets allowed.
Freeland, WA 98249
United States
Point Place is a two bedroom, two bath plus den home located on the water with breathtaking northwesterly views of the Puget Sound and Olympic mountains. Perched on a small bluff with private access to the beach below, it's a perfect spot for ship spotting,
bird watching, fishing or just roaming the smugglers cove beach. The house has a beautiful large deck facing the water, perfect for relaxing and dining. There is a nearby public boat launch, so bring your boat. The South Whidbey State Park is also just a 5
minute drive or ~30 minute walk away. Additionally, downtown Freeland, with a grocery store, shops, and restaurants, is just about a 10 minute drive. The house features a full bath and king bed in the second floor master bedroom, with sweeping views of the
cove and Puget Sound (note there is no door separating the first floor and second floor bedroom, but it is quite private). The downstairs bedroom houses a queen bed and also features views of the Puget Sound. There is also a double bed in the den for additional
guests, but note that access to the downstairs bathroom is through the den. The house features many modern amenities, including; a fully stocked modern kitchen, cable TV+DVD, stereo (radio+audio jack input), wood burning fireplace (insert), washer/dryer, dish
washer, both gas and a charcoal grills, great sitting couch as well as several reading spots. During high fishing season in August, it is a popular place to fish, so bring your tackle and prepare to eat fresh fish, but note that the beach can become a bit
busy at that time. 4 NIGHT MINIMUM JULY AND AUGUST ONLY.

Overall satisfaction:
Patti C from Phoenix, AZ recommends this vacation rental
My husband and I stayed here for one week in late August. We greatly enjoyed the views of sunsets, ships, boating and fishermen. Great views from both the main floor and upstairs master bedroom loft.
The kitchen is adequately equipped. The pm notified us of the broken cooktop ahead of time and provided a portable cooktop. The oven still worked, but was tricky to turn off, so hopefully the whole range will get fixed or replaced for future guests.
The main floor living room is spacious and has a very comfortable sectional and modern TV for viewing Netflix, etc. plus cable stations. The main dining table works well, but I needed to move a floor lamp next to it since there is no overhead light.
We slept in the master which is located in the upstairs loft. The view from there is just spectacular as you are surrounded by two walls of windows! I was glad to have eye shades as the morning light will wake you up on a sunny day. It was also fun to hear
the crashing waves as the tide came in, but sometimes I slept with earplugs just to tone down the wave sound. The king bed was comfortable and supportive. The main issues we had in the master and master bathroom was the old carpet that had lots of ground in
dirt stains. The master has two closets with hangers, but no dressers so you need to leave folded items in your suitcase.
The main deck downstairs has 6 comfortable dining chairs and a round table that seats 4. The upstairs deck has two resin lounge chairs that are comfortable to relax in. The beach is accessed right off the deck down a short flight of stairs.
During our stay fisherman would arrive each day and fish from the beach in front of the house. They were quiet and interesting to watch. The beach area stretches far to the north and has very few people on it, so it's very peaceful to explore.
Overall this would be a great spot for a family with kids who are interested in fishing and beachcombing. On

George O from Seattle, WA recommends this vacation rental
Overall we had an amazing time. The location, the views, the beach, and the house in general are fabulous. When we arrived we found the stove had a paint stick & placed across the top with words NO! NO! NO! written across it. Accompanied by a hot plate
on top. When we rent a house with a kitchen I expect a working stove. Not the end of the world, but it making our meals a challenge. The oven did work, but never really got hot. We tried the BBQ instead. The gas grill had so much gunk built up,it took me a
30 minutes to clean it out before we could use it. The charcoal grill had been used as a fire pit previously with burnt duraflame logs inside. As the week progressed I found blueberries, ibuprofen pills, and puzzle pieces underneath the tables, couch,and the
tv cabinet. None of these things we had or brought with us. I think it just needs a thorough cleaning and a new oven. Probably would stay here again if those things happened. The deck and beach are amazing. The views and sunsets are perfect.

a guest from Walla Walla, WA recommends this vacation rental
The home is located at Bush Point, a small beach community. The sandy and stoney beach is down a short staircase, and aside from a few fishermen, is pretty private. The view is northerly, and in the afternoons, the wind whipped up. The home is tastefully
appointed and the views are grand. There were a few amenities lacking, which I told the management company about (vegetable peeler, rubber spatulas, patio umbrella for those scorching evenings, beach chairs) and the knives are pretty dull! (not uncommon for
rentals). But the sofa is comfortable, the wifi is good, and the TV has Netflix and Amazon Prime. The grocery store in Freeland, Pay Less Foods, has a great selection (did NOT need to shop on the mainland!) It is a bit of a drive to the towns (15-20 minutes),
but if you want a quiet getawa and like listening to the waves lapping,, this is a great spot.
Thank you for your comments. We are happy you enjoyed your stay and accommodations on Whidbey Island. We hope we can help your with your next stay on the Island.

KATHLEEN M from MONTICELLO, MN recommends this vacation rental
We really could not be happier about our stay at this home. Our family includes young children and the home was the perfect combination of laid back and activity. We enjoyed being right now the beach and took daily walks and had many picnics along the
short. Bring from the midwest our children fell in love with the ocean and even went swimming (in the very cold water). The house beautiful, in particular the upstairs room! The only suggestion I would make it in relation to the kitchen. Our family loves to
cook and the kitchen is missing a few items that would be helpful for families or groups that plan to cook (a few mixing bowls, liquid measuring cups, griddle...etc. We also found the location to be a perfect base for exploring the island. We would return
in a heartbeat!
Thank you for your comments. We are happy you had such and enjoyable stay on the the Island, this is a beautiful place and I'm glad your family wants to return.

We were very happy with the location of the home. The view is just amazing !
We could have had a better experience had the home been updated/ remodeled.
The cleaning crew does on the surface cleaning ( changes linens, towels, vacuuming), but the deep clean is long overdue. When we arrived the home had a musty smell like the old house, the smell mostly went away after we ventilated the home and lit the fire
All in all we had a good stay.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that the home was not cleaned to your liking. We will definitely resolve the issue and have the home deep cleaned for our future guests. We appreciate your feedback and we hope you'll come stay with us again soon!
Julie P from Kirkland, WA recommends this vacation rental
We had a lovely weekend on Whidbey Island. The house was a bit older then I expected, but still well kept and had everything we needed. The view was amazing, the house is spacious and the access to the beach is hard to beat with less then 20 steps to the
ocean. We had 6 people, 2 of those small children and it worked great for us. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was updated and had everything for cooking. The bathroom setup for the two extra bedrooms was a bit odd, but nothing we couldn't work around. Only
suggestion is to upgrade the bathrooms and upgrade the outdoor furniture for enjoying the view more.
Thank you for your comments. We are glad you had a "lovely weekend" on Whidbey Island. We hope we can help you with your next stay on the Island.

a guest from Vancouver, WA recommends this vacation rental
Our family came for a getaway over spring break and had a wonderful time. The home was clean, great updated interior and was exactly as described in the website. The only minor drawback was that the kitchen water pressure was pretty low. I'm not faulting
the property for that, or downgrading my review, but it's nice to know going in. Kitchen seemed to have everything we needed. The view from the living room, kitchen and upstairs bedroom was amazing. Would recommend this property.
Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear you had a great spring break in one of our vacation homes. We have some fabulous views here on Whidbey Island. Nice to hear you had a great time!

I booked this home as a girls' getaway with my mom and sister. The views from both floors are absolutely stunning from every room! We enjoyed walking along the private beach looking for seashells every day. The home was very clean and the beds really comfortable!
The location was perfect for visiting the many wineries, distilleries and other attractions Whidbey Island has to offer. I hope to visit again with my hubby and kiddos next time.
Thank you for your review. We do have some great beaches for walking and searching for seashells. Nice to hear you got to take advantage of some of the many things to do on Whidbey Island.

Overall the house was great and in an awesome location. The views really are spectacular. We were lucky enough to get some sunny days in March to be there but in the summer it would be even better. We were a little disappointed by the lack of window coverings.
Other had reviewed that it was a problem and I thought it was fixed but it wasn't. Some windows had them, some didn't, some did but they were broke etc.
Happy to hear you enjoyed this vacation home and had some sunny days. We will look into the window coverings. Thank you for your review

Lori L from Lynnwood, WA recommends this vacation rental
We rented this house for the 2nd half of our honeymoon in February. At first glance, we walked through the house and found lots of little random things that annoyed us: the light switches that seem to not connect to anything, the footboard of the bed that
actually blocks the view, the weird, boarded up fireplace with the little potbelly stove in its place. However, once we got over those things, we realized it was just a nice place to have quiet, relaxation time.
Be aware though, if you go in the winter: many of the restaurants are closed Monday and Tuesday, and even when they are open, they close very early. We arrived here on a Monday and ended up eating gas station dinner because it was literally the only thing still
open at 9pm on a Monday. Definitely plan ahead for your meals. Or, of course, grocery shop and cook your meals in the kitchen.
Overall, the house worked well for us, but definitely is a bit dated and could use some updates.
Thank you for your comments. We are happy you had a "nice place to have a quiet, relaxing time". We hope to help you with your next stay on the Whidbey.

This home was lovely and very clean. The kitchen was modern and easy to use, the appliances were all top notch, and the living and dining rooms were very conducive for family or friend gatherings with very comfortable furniture. The television and cable
instructions were great...and the BEDS WERE FANTASTIC! Excellent linens, plenty of pillows, and high quality mattresses. Plus, the VIEWS. You can't top the view from this home: beachfront, mountains, Salish Sea...everything right outside the large picture
windows. I highly recommend this rental for friends, a reunion, two couples, or families. Really wonderful place. The process was easy, too...and when we had a question about the lock, it was quickly and easily answered in one phone call. I really appreciate

Our only complaint/disappointment was how blackened the wood stove glass door was. As much as we wanted to sit in the evening with a fire we did not bother having one because we would not have been able to see it. Otherwise, the house was perfect for our
needs and the master bedroom upstairs was definitely a plus. A working pair of binoculars would have been a nice addition for the morning we were lucky enough to see a pod of Orcas.

a guest from Seattle, WA does not recommend this vacation rental.
We had a good one week stay on whidbey island this summer. We stayed at this house in August and that is fishing season so the people would arrive before sunrise and stay until sunset on the beach directly in front of the house. There is a parking lot
directly next to the house along with a boat launch. We could hear the people arriving very early in the morning which was frustrating. The other thing people need to know is that since this is a west facing home the wind is relentless! There was one really
hot day and we were able to sit on the deck and have dinner the rest of the time it was too cold and the temp away from the beach was in the 70s to 80s. The view is beautiful and it is fun to see the large ships I would not stay here again. The house is very
nice and a good setup for families with teens everyone had their own space.
Thank you for your feedback! This home is situated next to public boat launch and in August, there is salmon fishing on the beach, however, only people with passes are authorized to fish in front of this home or in front of private property. If the public is abusing this rule, we advise guests to contact us. If you like to fish, this is a dream location! Fishing season is only for a short time, so most months there is not fishing in front of this home. Thank you

We had a relaxing long weekend at the Point Place. Having the beach so close by made our life easier and the gorgeous views from anywhere in the house meant we could always stare in awe at the awesomeness of the salish sea. As a side note, keep in mind
that the upstairs bedroom does not have a door so it can be tricky if you have little ones that like to go up and down stairs. As other reviewers have mentioned the kitchen has all the amenities and a bbq awaits you on the porch.
So glad you enjoyed a relaxing weekend and that you liked the view! Thank you for noting the upstairs bedroom. It does have an open layout, but the stairs do turn as they go up so it does provide some privacy. Thank you for your review!

I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at this beach-front property. The views were breath-taking, and the house itself was perfectly equipped with everything we needed. My ONLY complaint is that the water literally stinks. Not sure of the
source, but purchase bottled water to brush your teeth and hold your nose when you take a shower. Otherwise, you will LOVE this rental.
Thanks for your review! We're so glad that you enjoyed this property so much! Yes, we've had guests mention the water a few times. Because this house gets it's water from a well, occasionally there will be a sulfuric smell that accompanies the water. This is completely harmless, but we're going to talk with the owner about the issue and see what can be done. Thank you for mentioning that. We hope you'll come back and stay again soon!

Some fatty foods are almost completely one type (e.g. coconut oil is 87% saturated). Others are much more mixed (e.g. bacon fat is about 39% saturated, 45% monounsaturated, and 11% polyunsaturated).

If you look at that infographic carefully, you'll notice something: all the fats are pretty low in PUFA. There are plenty of high-PUFA fats in this world. Crisco. Soybean oil. Corn oil. Canola oil. "Vegetable oil." Margarine. But none of them are Paleo, because the last thing we all need in our diets is more PUFA.

Lenovo unveiled a new ultra small form factor (USFF) PC, which the company claims will consume only 45 watts of power.
The new ThinkCentre A61e, also called "BlueSky" by its manufacturer, is the first desktop offered by a major system builder that is available with AMD's low power Athlon X2 BE-2350 or Sempron LE 1150 processors. According to Lenovo, the new system is considerably smaller than its predecessor and does not take up not more space than a typical phone book.
The manufacturer claims that the power consumption of the A61e (not including a monitor) does not climb above 45 watts. Also the desktops are built from up to 90% of reusable or recyclable materials, while its packaging is also recyclable at up to 90%, according to Lenovo.
Prices for the PCs start at $400 for a system that is equipped with a Sempron LE1150 CPU, 512 MB memory, an 80 GB hard drive, a64 GB Radeon X1200 graphics chip and a 16X DVD-ROM. For an extra $100, buyers get twice the memory as well as a CD burner. The cheapest dual-core unit with a BE 2350 CPU currently lists for $649 on Lenovo's site and includes 1 GB of memory and a 160 GB hard drive.

Dear Alice,
What can I say to prevent someone from drunk driving?
Dear Reader,
Kudos to you for looking out for the safety and well-being of others. Unfortunately, there are no magic words to prevent someone from driving drunk — but it's critical to intervene when you see someone who's intoxicated try to get behind the wheel. Read on for tips on how to manage the interaction in the moment and strategies for prevention in the future.
First, a bit about alcohol-impaired driving. In 2014, in the United States, almost 10,000 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes. In more than half of these crashes, the driver had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of more than 0.08. At this level, no person in the United States may legally operate a vehicle because folks will typically experience decreased muscle coordination, decreased ability to concentrate, and impaired perception — all of which are key in operating a vehicle. If you find yourself in a situation where someone has consumed too much and you'd like to prevent them from driving, here are a few strategies that may help you manage the conversation carefully and ensure it's a productive one:
- If possible, talk to the individual in a quiet, private environment.
- Try to keep the tone light, calm, and non-confrontational. Stay firm and assertive, but avoid being judgmental or aggressive.
- It may help to remind yourself that you are talking with someone who is intoxicated. Talk slowly and clearly, and try not to become emotional. If you've also consumed alcohol, you might enlist the help of a sober friend(s).
- Use 'I' statements rather than 'you' statements, such as "I'm concerned about you driving home" or "Can I help you figure out a way to get home?"
- Provide a reason for why you are taking action. Try saying something like, "I don't want you to get into trouble" or "I don't want you to hurt yourself or anyone else."
- Offer options such as calling them a cab or giving them a place to crash and sleep it off. If you live in an area with public transportation, and the person is well enough to travel, encourage them to take a bus, subway, or train home. You might even offer to travel with them to make sure they get home safely.
- Take their keys, pretend you can't find their keys but assure your friend that you can help them find them in the morning.
- If absolutely nothing else works and they insist on driving, you may want to call law enforcement — this is a better option than having someone injured or killed.
While it's not always an option, the best way to prevent someone from driving intoxicated is to be prepared ahead of time. If you're designating drivers, it's good to note that a designated driver is someone who is sober — rather than the 'least drunk' person in the room. If you're unsure of what to do or how drunk someone is before they get behind the wheel, it's better to err on the side of caution. Creating a responsible environment can also help set the tone for lower-risk drinking, reduce the likelihood of impaired driving, and maximize the fun while minimizing the risk. Whether you're preparing to be a hospitable host or a gracious guest, reading Strategies for preventing drunk driving may help you set the tone for safety at your next get-together.
Lastly, if you're concerned about your friend's relationship with alcohol — you recognize a pattern of negative consequences associated with their drinking — you may find it helpful to refer them to a mental health professional or a substance abuse professional. Finding a private place and talking with your friend when you're both sober are just some of the tips in starting this conversation. For more information, check out Friend of an alcohol abuser in the Help & Getting Help section of the Go Ask Alice! archive.
Hope this helps you assist others in getting home in a smart, safe, and responsible way!Alice!

The 5 Best Dive Bars in Nashville
August 9, 2013
We all know that unfulfilled feeling of being in a touristy city like Nashville, wandering around downtown and wondering what the locals do for fun. Let's face it, they sure as heck aren't cruising the strip swilling overpriced Bud Lights in thematically Disney-fied country bars. I mentioned this to my pal, Nashville transplant and underground honky-tonk music sensation J.P. Harris, and he decided to do me a solid and give me a tour of the very best locals-only dive bars Music City has to offer.

text: The second item in the liberal creed, after self-righteousness, is unaccountability. Liberals have invented whole college majors--psychology, sociology, women's studies--to prove that nothing is anybody's fault. No one is fond of taking responsibility for his actions, but consider how much you'd have to hate free will to come up with a political platform that advocates killing unborn babies but not convicted murderers. A callous pragmatist might favor abortion and capital punishment. A devout Christian would sanction neither. But it takes years of therapy to arrive at the liberal view.

Have you heard that every palate is a snowflake?
What a lovely sentiment; its meaning is, of course, that we have individual and unique palates.
Now arent we special.
Presumably, the snowflake concept tells us that wine is subjective and that what one person finds tasteful another may not. But it says even more than that. If no snowflake is alike, then the millions of wine consumers in this world account for millions of palates, and not one is like another therefore, talking about what you taste in a wine is akin to talking to yourself.
The problem with this snowflake concept is that many who say such things happen to also be people who make a living telling the rest of us what individual wines taste like or they are people who tell us what the wines they want to sell to us taste like. Really now, if every palate is a snowflake, then how can someone else's wine description possibly benefit the rest of us?
Maybe those who tell us what to taste in a wine do so because they are endowed with a universal snowflake decoder. Or maybe at birth they were given the gift of a snowflake that represents the entire blizzard. Or maybe the snowflake sentiment is disingenuous drivel.
My suggestion to wine reviewers: please, dispense with the metaphors. If we are the individual arbiters of our own taste, through our own palates, then it seems that you have some explaining to do concerning the benefit of your wine review.
On the other hand, if you truly believe that yours is the accurate and superior snowflakejust say so. That way, well know that we should disregard our own sensory information and go by yours.
If you choose this route, would you consider shedding the number ratings and just get on with the lecture?
Snowflake or no snowflake, some of us are math as well as palate impaired.

IT WAS EITHER A GENUINE sign of the end times or proof that hipsters can get into anything, but this summer and fall Aldomania sparked a national "Mary Worth" craze.
In case the above sentence makes no sense to you, "Mary Worth" is a 68-year-old soap-opera comic strip about a nosey, passive-aggressive widow who is now (and always has been) about 68 years old. And Aldomania was a fan eruption over Aldo Kelrast, a Captain Kangaroo look-alike who was stalking the strip's titular heroine in a plot that was at once surprisingly suspenseful and deliciously bizarre.
The Palm Beach Post published 2,100 words on the phenomenon. Fans snapped up Aldomania T-shirts that proclaimed, "I refuse to believe you prefer to be alone" -- one of the stalker's dafter pronouncements. The morning after a dejected Aldo drove off an ill-placed cliff, bottle of cheap hooch in hand (no, really), there were three tribute videos posted to YouTube.com by 9 a.m.
These are not even the heights of the passion "Mary Worth" inspires, nor is "Mary Worth" the only comic that gets this kind of attention. Not long ago, I thought I was pretty much alone in my deep affection for Margo Magee, a sexy, manic and amoral publicist living in the oddly chaste bizarro-Manhattan of "Apartment 3-G," another long-running soap strip.

Notice and request for comments.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is announcing plans to request clearance of this collection. In accordance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), we are providing opportunity for public comment on this action. After obtaining and considering public comment, NSF will prepare the submission requesting that OMB approve clearance of this collection for no longer than 3 years.
Written comments on this notice must be received by April 5, 2004, to be assured of consideration. Comments received after that date will be considered to the extent practicable.Start Further Info
Contact Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer, National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 295, Arlington, Virginia 22230; telephone (703) 292-7556; or send e-mail to email@example.com. You also may obtain a copy of the data collection instrument and instructions from Ms. Plimpton.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
Title of Collection: Medical Clearance Process for Deployment to Antarctica.
OMB Number: 3145-0177.
Expiration Date of Approval: May 31, 2004.Start Printed Page 5373
Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to renew an information collection for three years.
A. Proposed Project
All individuals who anticipate deploying to Antarctica and to certain regions of the Arctic under auspices of the United States Antarctica Program are required to take and pass a rigorous physical examination prior to deploying. The physical examination includes a medical history, medical examination, a dental examination and for those persons planning to winter over in Antarctica a psychological examination is also required. The requirement for this determination of physical status is found in 42 U.S.C. 1870 (Authority) and 62 FR 31522, June 10, 1997 (Source), unless otherwise noted. This part sets forth the procedures for medical screening to determine whether candidates for participation in the United States Antarctic [(Page 216)] Program (USAP) are physically qualified and psychologically adapted for assignment or travel to Antarctica. Medical screening examinations are necessary to determine the presence of any physical or psychological conditions that would threaten the health or safety of the candidate or other USAP participants or that could not be effectively treated by the limited medical care capabilities in Antarctica.
Presidential Memorandum No. 6646 (February 5, 1982) (available from the National Science Foundation, Office of Polar Programs, room 755, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22230) sets forth the National Science Foundation's overall management responsibilities for the entire United States national program in Antarctica.
B. Use of the Information
1. Form NSF-1420, National Science Foundation
- Polar Physical Examination
(Antarctica/Arctic/Official Visitors) Medical History, will be used by the individual to record the individual's family and personal medical histories. It is a five-page form that includes the individual's and the individual's emergency point-of-contact's name, address, and telephone numbers. It contains the individual's email address, employment affiliation and dates and locations of current and previous polar deployments. It also includes a signed certification of the accuracy of the information and understandings of refusal to provide the information or providing false information. The agency's contractor's reviewing physician and medical staff complete the sections of the form that indicated when the documents were received and whether or not the person qualified for polar deployment, in which season qualified to deploy and where disqualified the reasons.
2. Form NSF-1421, Polar Physical Examination
- Antarctica/Arctic, will be used by the individual's physician to document specific medical examination results and the overall status of the individual's health. It is a two-page form which also provides for the signatures of both the patient and the examining physician, as well as contact information about the examining physician. Finally, it contains the name, address and telephone number of the agency's contractor that collects and retains the information.
3. Form NSF-1422, National Science Foundation Polar Physical Examination
(Antarctica/Arctic/Official Visitors) Medical History Interval Screening, will only be used by individuals who are under the age of 40 and who successfully took and passed a polar examination the previous season or not more than 24 months prior to current deployment date. It allows the otherwise healthy individual to update his or her medical data without having to take a physical examination every year as opposed to those over 40 years of age who must be examined annually.
4. Form NSF-1423, Polar Dental Examination-Antarctica/Arctic/Official Visitors, will be used by the examining dentist to document the status of the individual's teeth and to document when the individual was examined. It will also be used by the contractor's reviewing dentist to document whether or not the individual is dentally cleared to deploy to the polar regions.
5. Medical Waivers: Any individual who is determined to be not physically qualified for polar deployment may request an administrative waiver of the medical screening criteria. This information includes signing a Request for Waiver that is notarized or otherwise legally acceptable in accordance with penalty of perjury statutes, obtaining an Employer Statement of Support. Individuals on a case-by-case basis may also be required to submit additional medical documentation and a letter from the individual's physician(s) regarding the individual's medical suitability for Antarctic deployment.
6. Other information requested: In addition to the numbered forms and other information mentioned above, the USAP medical screening package includes the following:
—Medical Risks for NSF-Sponsored Personnel Traveling to Antarctica—multi-copy form
—the NSF Privacy Notice
—the NSF Medical Screening for Blood-borne Pathogens/Consent for HIV Testing—(multi-copy)
—the NSF Authorization for Treatment of Field-Team Member/Participant Under the Age of 18 Years—(multi-copy). This should only be sent to the individuals who are under 18 years of age.
—the Dear Doctor and Dear Dentist letters, which provide specific laboratory and x-ray requirements, as well as other instructions.
7. There are two other, non-medical forms included in the mailing:
—the Personal Information Form-NSF Form Number 1424 includes a Privacy Act Notice. This form is used to collect information on current address and contact numbers, date and place of birth, nationality, citizenship, social security number, passport number, emergency point of contact information, travel dates, clothing sizes so that we may properly outfit those individuals who deploy, work-site information and prior deployment history.
—the Participant Notification—Important Notice for Participants in the United States Antarctic Program. This form provides information on the laws, of the nations through which program participants must transmit in route to Antarctica, regarding the transport, possession and use of illegal substances and the possibility of criminal prosecution if caught, tried and convicted.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of information varies according to the overall health of the individual, the amount of research required to complete the forms, the time it takes to make an appointment, take the examination and schedule and complete any follow-up medical, dental or psychological requirements and the completeness of the forms submitted. The estimated time is up to six weeks from the time the individual receives the forms until he or she is notified by the contractor of their final clearance status. An additional period of up to eight weeks may be required for the individual who was disqualified to be notified of the disqualification, to request and receive the waiver packet, to obtain employer support and complete the waiver request, to do any follow-up testing, to return the waiver request to the contractor plus any follow-up information, for the contractor to get the completed packet to the National Science Foundation, for Start Printed Page 5374the NSF to make and promulgate a decision.
Respondents: All individuals deploying to the Antarctic and certain Arctic areas under the auspices of the United States Antarctic Program must complete these forms. There are approximately 3,000 submissions per year, with a small percentage (c.3%) under the age of 40 who provide annual submissions but with less information.
Estimated Number of Responses Per Form: Responses range from 2 to approximately 238 responses.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 28,728 hours.
Frequency of Responses: Individuals must complete the forms annually to be current within 12 months of their anticipated deployment dates. Depending on individual medical status some persons may require additional laboratory results to be current within two to six weeks of anticipated deployment.
Comments: Comments are invited on (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.Start Signature

Sales for Valkyria Chronicles just keep improving as the months roll by. Sega's innovative FPS/Strategy game started off weak on the sales charts, but has been steadily gaining steam through positive word of mouth from gamers and media sources alike.
In Japan, Valkyria is ranked at #3 among PS3 sales, and in the U.S. Valkyria defended its #5 spot for two weeks in a row, outselling high ranked titles such as Guitar Hero. Still not interested?

iRobot Roomba 880 Vacuum Cleaning Robot is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Elva from Love My Robot 880 Roomba Love it! Cannot believe I waited this long to get one. Everyone should have one!!
Date published: 2017-01-20
Rated 4 out of 5 by WorkingMom74 from Quality of Life Improver We have hardwood floors and wool area rugs. It runs once after we leave for work and cleans up after a 150lbs lab, two cats, and a 6-years-old who manages to get more breakfast on the floor than in his stomach. The boys no longer have hair on their pants. The reason for the 4 stars is because the waste bin fills half-way through. The battery life could clean 1500 sq ft easily, but carpet fibers from the area rugs completely fill it. I am a little worried that it is doing damage to the area rugs and so I have gone back to vacuuming then. The Roomba does effectively clean our hardwood floors every morning and no more hair or crumbs.
Date published: 2016-02-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by ClawCool from Best roomba yet We have an older model in the "pet series" and we have just been delighted with it in our home with all hardwood floors. So much so, that when we spoke to the company about this latest model, the higher price of this model was NOTHING compared to the added features. The previous models could sometimes get caught up on dark rugs because the "cliff detector" would think it was a stair edge. This one is much smarter. The brushes for corners are also more durable and more effective. They really have improved this and the ability to program it to clean when we are not home, and it is better at finding its way each time back to its docking station without the battery running down is just awesome. If only it would empty its own container, it would be perfect. It makes a great chore for the kids and they seem to delight at having a name for it and thinking of it as a pet. We are constantly amazed as how much it picks up in such a short time. I no longer have to get into the bed at night wiping my feet as though I were camping (something I found was needed unless I swept every single day). Just LOVE this thing!

Your current filters are…
by Andrew Crow, Leah Buley, Ryan Freitas, Ben Fullerton and Nate Bolt
As designers take on new problems of convergence and ubiquity, we find ourselves facing new challenges. The products we create are accessed through multiple devices, different channels and a wide audience. How do we accommodate the context of use?
Whether you design mobile apps, services or web experiences, you know that people have different needs and desires. Those issues are complicated further by a landscape of technology.
This discussion will highlight these new challenges and offer solutions based on years of design experience. Topics include:
• What should you be aware of when designing a product or service for use in various locations and environments?
• How does motion and distraction affect interaction and content design decisions?
• Do you provide for casual use vs. urgent need?
• How does the form factor or input method of your device steer your design efforts?
• What happens in an ecosystem of products?
• How does social and cultural context play into the strategy of your design?

Researchers Discover New Way Meat Causes Heart Disease
Researchers Discover New Way Meat Causes Heart Disease
People who eat meat produce more artery-clogging intestinal byproducts than people who follow vegan and vegetarian diets, according to a new study from the Cleveland Clinic. Researchers followed 2,595 heart patients and categorized them as omnivores, vegans, or vegetarians and found that those who consumed the most carnitine, present in animal products, increased their risk for heart disease by producing more artery-clogging metabolites. This study lends insight into other components of meat products, besides saturated fat and cholesterol, that may elevate the risk of heart disease.

It is Oscar time and we are getting excited in the office about seeing the dresses and the diamonds and the men in black tie! However, the Oscars is also about the goodie bags (but sadly not for us non-celebs!). Oscar nominees this year will be receiving a massive $80,000 worth of 'stuff' including a trip to Las Vegas, a tour of Japan, charitable donations and even $250 worth of maple syrup!!!
It feels a bit unfair. I mean these guys earn millions for every movie they make so they don't actually NEED free stuff but everyone loves a freebie so who can really blame them?
However, if you aren't one of the Hollywood elite you can still get the free perks of the A-list. Check this out:
- Instead of getting FREE sessions with an LA Hollywood trainer, go online and do a fitness class. There are LOADS on YouTube like yoga and pilates and Gym Cube and Sleek Technique offer some really cool classes that you can follow along with online. If you have a look then you can ALWAYS find free trial offers too. You can also usually get a FREE day pass to most big gym chains. Check out www.letssavesomemoney.com/1-minute-guide-to-fitness-for-less to find your nearest participating gym
- Rather than employ the services of a hairdresser to the stars, phone up your local hairdresser or beauty salon and ask whether they have any appointments for free – junior stylists and beauty therapists often want someone to practice on so you could be pampered for nothing (you just need a little bit of trust!). Salon Guinea Pig is a fun website that matches you with a FREE salon or hairdresser in your local area too. Easy!
- You might not get the $100 face cream but you can make face packs or body scrubs from the contents of your store cupboard – honey, avocado, sea salt, oats and olive oil are all GREAT ingredients for pampering products
- You might be surprised what people are prepared to give away for free. Check out freecycle or freegle to see if there is something that takes your fancy. We even found a piano last week – now that's what I call a freebie!
- If you want to do your bit for charity (without someone giving you $6,000 to hand over to a charity of your choice), why not donate to Oxfam and claim Nectar points at the same time with the Tag a Bag scheme where you get 2 points for every £1. What a great excuse to get rid of your old clothes and feel good about yourself too!
Every Friday on my own site I publish my pick of the web's best free stuff including in the last month free champagne, free meals, free motorbike rides, free massages and free books. Have a look and see what Oscar worthy freebies you can claim too! www.letssavesomemoney.com/freebies

The past few months have been quite exciting for ATV with a number of major portfolio company developments, most notably the acquisitions of Ardian and Plexxikon. These blockbuster announcements represent two of the largest healthcare acquisitions on record for private, venture-backed companies and demonstrate that emerging companies with novel, ground-breaking technologies addressing significant unmet needs can continue to garner high strategic value in this environment.
Many of our other portfolio companies have also been busy making headlines of their own with announcements of strategic partnerships, clinical milestones, record growth, government funding and other achievements. ATV celebrated an achievement of its own this week, as Mike Carusi was named to the 2011 Forbes Midas List of top venture capitalists. Other ATV General Partners that have received the honor in recent years include Jean George and Bob Hower.
Despite all the excitement surrounding the recent exits of Ardian and Plexxikon and other milestones, ATV hasn't wavered from its primary goal of investing in innovative companies and exceptional entrepreneurs and working with those teams to build great companies that can lead markets. In fact, these recent acquisitions serve as successful proof points of that strategy. As we look ahead, we expect more continued good news from our portfolio as well as a resurgence in new investment activity as the economic recovery continues to take hold.
Following are several notable portfolio company highlights. For a more complete summary, visit www.atvcapital.com.
This week, Daiichi Sankyo, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in Japan, completed its acquisition of Plexxikon for $935 million in cash and milestones. As announced earlier this month, Daiichi Sankyo agreed to pay $805 million initially and $130 million in milestones tied to approval of Plexxikon's PLX4032, which in Phase III clinical trials has shown potential to improve survival of metastatic melanoma patients with a genetic mutation known as BRAF. The acquisition is one of the largest on record for a venture-backed biopharmaceutical company.
Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) announced in January that it has completed the acquisition of Ardian, a developer of catheter-based therapies to treat hypertension and related conditions. Under the terms of the agreement announced in November, the purchase price is $800 million in cash up front, plus additional cash milestone payments.
In early March, Valeritas garnered FDA clearance for its V-Go disposable system for subcutaneous delivery of Novo Nordisk's insulin product NovoLog in adult diabetics. This victory follows the company's receipt of FDA clearance of V-Go to deliver Eli Lilly's insulin product Humalog. V-Go offers an alternative to using syringe and needle injections of fast-acting insulin around mealtimes to control blood sugar levels in diabetics.
In January, the U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded Coskata a $250 million loan guarantee to build and operate a cellulosic ethanol plant in Alabama. The company was also recently the subject of a Chicago Sun-Times feature on Coskata's innovative process for turning cellulose into ethanol.
Cool Sculpting by Zeltiq continues to make headlines in major media outlets. The non-invasive fat-reduction device was recently featured on ABC's Good Morning America and in Town & Country magazine, among others.
Online game publisher WildTangent recently rolled out a new offering in which advertisers have the opportunity to insert virtual images or replications of their products within social games—rather than having to be integrated into a game during its development stages. During a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, company executives Mike Peronto and Dave Madden said social gaming has quickly become the company's fastest growing segment, with revenues tripling year-over-year.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory recently announced it has certified that Solar Junction cells operate at 41.4 percent efficiency, a first in the solar industry. Typically, silicon solar cells are in the range of 15 - 20 percent efficient at converting sunlight to electricity. This news was the subject of a recent MIT Technology Review profile on the company.
EndoGastric Solutions was featured on The Wall Street Journal's 'Top 50 Venture-Backed Companies' list for 2011. The list spotlights start-ups with the potential for technological breakthroughs in health care, mobile communications and business software and seeks to pinpoint the 50 U.S. venture-backed companies with the greatest promise to succeed.
Three ATV portfolio companies - Coskata, Calisolar, Oasys – were included in The 2010 Global Cleantech 100 Report, an annual list of the top 100 cleantech companies, which according to The Cleantech Group, which develops the list, is "a barometer of the changing face of global cleantech innovation."
Oasys Water Co-founder and CTO Robert McGinnis was the featured 'Innovator' in the March 10 issue of BusinessWeek. The company's seawater desalination process was also highlighted.
In the Forbes issue hitting newsstands this week, ATV's Mike Carusi is featured on the publication's Midas List, an annual ranking of the leading investors in the venture community. Mike also recently shared his insights on the investment outlook for early-stage healthcare and medical device companies in a Q&A with PEHub.
