About 180,000 adolescents in schools are HIV positive, government said on Tuesday.
Of these, 75,600 were not accessing ARVs, Education Ministry Assistant Director Margaret Mwirigi said.
National Aids Control Council (NACC) official Celestine Mugambi said 14 teenagers die daily of HIV complications while 98 are infected.
"These are your students. By the end of this conference almost 500 would have died," she said.
She added that few adolescents are being tested for HIV as parents assume that their children are not engaging in early sex and are not infected with HIV.
She further added that adolescents and youth account for 1.8 million pregnancies every year.
"There are low testing rates among adolescents with only 46 females and 58 per cent males who are tested for HIV," Ms Mugambi said.
She said there is still need for increased awareness of HIV as only 58 per cent of those affected know issues regarding HIV and how to prevent it.
"Risky behaviours are difficult to change while many people have unanswered questions on HIV with no one to inform them," she said.
However, she said investments and advocacy in the HIV response has increased.
She said NACC has a two-year plan to reduce new student infections by 40 per cent.
"We want to reduce AIDS related deaths by 20 per cent and reduce stigma and discrimination by 20 per cent," she said.
She two made separate remarks during the ongoing primary school heads meeting at the Sheikh Zayed Children's Welfare in Mombasa.
Over 10,000 heads are attending the meeting.

Russell Westbrook scored 45 points to help the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the short-handed Dallas Mavericks 109-98 on Thursday night.
The NBA scoring leader made 16 of 29 shots after being named an All-Star reserve earlier in the night. He had eight rebounds and three assists, ending his triple-doubles streak at three games.
Victor Oladipo added 17 points, and Steven Adams had 15 for the Thunder. They have won three straight.
Harrison Barnes scored 31 points, and Justin Anderson added 17 for the Mavericks. They had won five of seven.
Dallas was without four of its top five scorers. Forward Wesley Matthews sat out with a right hip strain, forward Dirk Nowitzki rested on the second game of a back-to-back, guard J.J. Barea was out with a left calf strain, and guard Deron Williams was out with a sprained left big toe.

Fire your stylist, maybe?
1. Akshara Hassan
The Bollywood debutante unfortunately learnt the hard way that tight dresses and high chairs don't mix when you have a waiting audience of a dozen cameramen.
2. Malaika Arora Khan
Jaws dropped when Malaika Arora's top came undone during her performance onstage at a popular reality show… Only for the audience to find out that it was an elaborate concocted reality stunt featuring Malaika's lookalike.
3. Radhika Apte
The 'Hunterr' actress too had a fashion reality check after her short dress ended up giving the photographers present more than they had bargained for.
4. Rita Ora
The popular singer flirted with the possibility of a malfunction on the red carpet of the Billboard Music Awards with her decision to go commando in this slinky, low-cut number proving a tad costly.
5. Miranda Kerr
Ditto for Miranda Kerr, whose daring slit had her standing on full attention when confronted with a bunch of photographers and their high-powered lenses that miss nothing.
6. Kate Hudson
She may have looked pretty as a peach in this tomboy outfit, but she was unfortunately forced to call upon all her feminine graces to quickly cover up the malfunction caused by the helicopter she just stepped out of.
7. Gwyneth Paltrow
Note to self: Short-shorts needn't always be this short. Especially when you've got the paps on your tail.

To show as many reddits at a time as possible, there is the cloud view. The more subscribers, the bigger the font; the more recent the last submission, the darker the font. You can also view the reddits as a list sorted by subscriber number. When you click a on a subreddit name a description appears, and clicking on the (+) gets the current top five submissions from reddit. About half of all reddits have no submissions, these are not listed here. About half have a couple of subscribers or less. To see how many reddits have very few subscribers, have a look at this graph. Most data is not pulled live from reddit, but saved for some time, so the numbers can be a bit off.
You can tag subreddits, and you can vote the tags on a subreddit up or down. Tags are green and in square brackets to distinguish them from subreddits. Tags with a positive score appear in /tags. This is a work in progress. Based on the tags, something like karmanaut's reddit map, but interactive, would be nice.
Some reddits have custom logos in their headers. This feature lets you browse the biggest couple of thousand reddits by their logos.
Reddit's own search doesn't work very well because it only looks in titles, and not in the comments. Google indexes more of reddit but searching there involves a lot of typing, this is what you can do here, quicker. Basically, searching for "cats" in both the "pics" and "WTF" subreddits is equivalent to this in Google: "cats site:reddit.com/r/pics/comments OR site:reddit.com/r/WTF/comments" Additionally, the results are filtered to remove duplicates and other unwanted stuff, links to mobile pages are changed to point to the normal pages, and the addresses shown always include the subreddit. For your convenience, there is a search plugin.
This lets you monitor all new comments, submission titles and descriptions posted to reddit for the mention of a word or phrase. It allows you to find out when people talk about you, a reddit you created, or a topic that interests you. Monitoring starts when you enter a term, and stops when nobody requested that information for some time. If you are logged in to metareddit, for every term you enter, you have the option add it as a summary on your (private) userpage; just click your name in the top right corner.
To get an idea in which reddits a redditor is active, their recent comments and submissions are scanned.
The list of reddits you're subscribed to is private, and there is no convenient way to share it. Until now, that is. Enter /format: basically, you provide the output of http://www.reddit.com/reddits/mine/subscriber.json, and after highlighting or removing reddits you get nicely formatted markdown code to post on reddit. No tinfoil hats are harmed running this script: your data never leaves your browser. Chrome is the easiest browser for this job: just triple-click the top box, and drag-and-drop into the lower box. Repeat if you have more than 100 reddits. With other browsers, you have to open the subscriber.json file you get when you click.

As you build your capacities as a leader it is critically important to enhance your level of self-awareness. Self-awareness is often equated to emotional intelligence. It can also be seen as deepening your understanding of how your behaviors impact others and how you are impacted by other people.
Why would you want to deepen your level of awareness? After all, your "I am what I am" attitude has worked well for you.
Deepening your self awareness will enable you to:

An Eighth Day View:
Language in the USA is a volume of specially commissioned studies on the language situation in America, how it came to be the way it is, and the forces of changes within it. The USA has its own unique pattern of languages: American English, the principal language, different in structure and use from other kinds of English in the world; two hundred American Indian languages, some of them flourishing as never before; Spanish, spoken in North America before English and now the second most important language in the country; a cost of immigrant languages, each with a different history of accommodation to the American scene. The book explains the place of these various languages and how they are used in education, the professions, and general communication. Language in the USA is a work of reference, which gives an accessible account of the very considerable research in this area done by linguists, sociologists, educationalists, and anthropologists.

There have been a couple of interesting follow up post to this.
SEO by the Sea on what's going on - answer: entities - www.seobythesea.com/?p=4179
Search Engine Land waiting for a response from Google's press office - searchengineland.com/google-search-results-dominated-by-one-domain-49025
Maybe it's a good idea says Coast Digital - www.coastdigital.co.uk/blog/2010/08/19/google-algorithm/
What you are seeing is a continued rollout of what Google announced long ago. SEOBook published a post in February 2009 with the now famous CEO Internet Cesspool quote announcing their intention to favor Big Brands to "clean up" the Internet.
In May of this year their MayDay Update moved sites like eBay, Amazon, Target, etc. above small businesses for searches they never competed on before, causing a 20-35% drop in traffic and sales for small ecommerce sites that did not heed the many warnings of what was coming.
This is only the beginning. Expect Big Brands to dominate the serps for more and more primary keyword phrases and long tail searches. Watch major Social Media sites favor Big Brands too such as the move made by Facebook to exclude small businesses.
The fight over Net Neutrality and moves by G and Verizon to control whose sites load online and especially in mobile devices and whose don't. That is part of this too.
We have a choice to make: support INDEPENDENT solutions and small online and local businesses and stop the economic collapse the focus on cheap consumer goods has created or not. It is up to each of us to decide what kind of life we want to have.
I totally agree with you. A few big boys are crowding out the play ground and taking over. Hard to win in a crooked card game. Google smells like mafia to me.

If most advertisers have settled on the use of fees, they certainly don't seem satisfied in terms of what they're paying. Client cost cutting, particularly during the most recent economic downturn, has left many agencies complaining that fee reductions are significantly harming agency profitability and, in turn, their ability to effectively service clients. The ANA survey suggests that agency pre-tax profits as reported to clients averaged only 12% in 2003, far below the oft-quoted 20% agency industry target. It also remains clear, as in past surveys, that while clients want their agencies to be profitable, they do not agree with agencies on what defines a reasonable profit.
The client survey also indicates that more than half of respondents receive relatively detailed cost information from their agencies (including labor, overhead and profit information) and that the procurement department is involved in negotiation and management of agency compensation with more than half of the larger advertisers (those spending over $100 million a year annually in advertising).
Yes, compensating an agency is different than buying a piece of factory hardware. But to the next agency executive who argues that "no client would ever ask for cost information from their lawyers, consultants, and other service providers," I have a simple reply: Guess again. The fact is that companies are examining costs across the board.
Beyond the general desire to manage costs, why do clients seem so interested in their agencies' costs and profits? The sad fact is that many clients do not trust their agencies when it comes to fiscal matters-and this has not changed since the days that clients first started challenging commissions.
This isn't so much an "ethical" mistrust as a perception that agencies simply don't care much about controlling costs. Clients aren't confident that agency time sheets are accurate, that the agency is exploring all ways to keep down media and production costs, that overhead charges are fair. Ironically, most agencies have taken as many cost-cutting measures as their clients, and many of them have shareholders to answer to as well. But agencies do not do a good job of proactively working with clients to explain these measures. Is there any good news on the agency compensation front? Yes. And it lies in the steady increase and growing client confidence in the use of performance incentives. If closer examination of agency costs was a natural outgrowth of the move to fees, then a focus on agency "value" would be the natural outgrowth of clients satisfying themselves that agency costs are reasonable and under control.
quality issue
The most effective marketers understand the value of a good or service is determined not only by price but by quality of performance. The most effective procurement officers understand their company contribution lies not simply in securing the lowest price, but in obtaining the best possible value. Ultimately, it is the agency's ideas that bring value to the advertiser. So it ultimately would make sense to pay the agency based on how those ideas helped move the business.
More advertisers are doing just that. Almost 40% of the ANA survey respondents indicated they are using performance incentive compensation. More than two-thirds of those that use incentives believe they have improved agency performance, and fully 95% plan to keep using incentives.
There is an interesting parallel with the early '90s trend from commissions to fees. Fees during that period grew at a slow and steady pace, much like the growing use of performance incentives today. Growth in fees skyrocketed in the late '90s and early part of this century.
another trend
Are incentives poised to do the same? A number of indicators suggests they are. First, marketers that use incentives overwhelmingly believe that incentive pay works. Second, compensation practices tend to gravitate from larger to smaller advertisers; more than half of larger advertisers now use incentives. Third, marketing measurement techniques continue to become more sophisticated.
Advertisers and agencies must pay more attention to the performance side of the value equation. Cost cutting represents the low-hanging fruit. Once clients and agencies have looked under all the rocks, there will be nowhere else to go but to consider how agencies add value and how that value can be improved.
Cost control will continue to bear scrutiny, but the really important bottom-line impact of a successful client-agency relationship will come from big, market-changing ideas-what the agency was hired to deliver in the first place.
Clients that get the most out of their agencies will be those that clearly define the role and expectations for agencies and then reward strong performance when there is a significant improvement in business results. Agencies that embrace the notion of holding their work and compensation accountable should enjoy a bigger paycheck when they meet or exceed clients' expectations.

Suppressants, oral expectorants and topical treatments are over-the-counter cough medicines, according to WebMD. Coughs that last more than eight weeks are caused by other conditions, and doctors may prescribe antibiotics, nose sprays or stomach-acid reducers, depending on the cause of the cough, says the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
Dextromethorphan is the most prevalent cough suppressant, and because it does not have the addictive and pain-relief qualities of the narcotic codeine, can be sold in stores, says WebMD. It works best with hacking-type coughs as opposed to coughs that produce mucus. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps clear mucus from airways. Menthol and camphor are topical cough medications. They are rubbed on the chest or throat, or inhaled via steam. Their vapors ease stuffiness and relieve coughing. Menthol also comes in tablets and lozenges.
For coughs caused by sinus infections, antibiotics are one avenue of treatment, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Nose sprays are another. People who cough due to allergies should avoid their triggers, and people who cough because they smoke should quit. Some medicines cause coughs as a side effect, and in those cases, doctors may prescribe a replacement medication. Humidifiers and drinking sufficient fluids are two other ways to treat coughs.

Our water resources and freshwater ecosystems are in danger
Our water resources and freshwater ecosystems are in danger
Newly released study shows that the average ecosystem will need to shift a quarter of a mile each year in order to stay in its ideal temperature range.
Reduction of the rainforests, continued growth in hydrocarbon industries, increases in livestock, and depletion of the ozone are all considered factors in the debate.
A temperature rise of no more than 2 °C is widely acknowledged as the 'safe' level to avoid dangerous climate change.
A new map illustrating the global consequences of failing to keep temperature change to under 2 °C was launched today by the UK Government, in partnership with the Met Office.

Jan Winters decided Friday to become the next administrator of Palm Beach County, despite the fact that commissioners gave him only token help in softening the financial loss he expects from selling his two houses in Colorado.
Winters, 41, the city manager of Loveland, Colo., population 37,000, will receive a $16,000-a-year raise by moving to Florida.
Winters said he asked commissioners for financial assistance in selling his homes because several governments in Western states have helped their officials make the transition by buying their old homes or paying their mortgages for several months.
Winters asked County Attorney Gary Brandenburg on Thursday to relay his request to commissioners. Winters was turned down, and given until 11:30 a.m. Friday to decide.
He called Brandenburg at 11:30 sharp with a concession request that the county pay his rent in a furnished apartment for his first three months on the job, beginning Sept. 1.
Brandenburg and Commission Chairman Karen Marcus agreed to one month`s rent at a ``reasonable cost,`` such as $500 or $600.
Prosecutors won Round Two of their intricate legal fight with murder suspect Robert Spearman when a Palm Beach County judge Friday denied his request to change attorneys 2 1/2 weeks before his trial.
Attorneys David Roth and Douglas Duncan had asked to withdraw from the case, saying that ``irreconcilable differences`` have arisen between them and Spearman, whose first-degree murder trial begins July 14.
But Circuit Judge Carl Harper called the move a ``thinly disguised ploy`` to delay proceedings the defense earlier succeeded in accelerating.
``If you want to call a spade a spade, I think this is a ploy by the defense to avoid the speedy trial that they sought and got,`` Harper said.
Spearman, 56, is accused of hiring two men to kill his wife, Anita, assistant city manager of West Palm Beach. She was found bludgeoned to death Nov. 16, 1985.

Months of training on the track, surprising myself by actually feeling the urge to run, and staying consistent with my pace finally led to completing last week's San Jose Rock and Roll Half Marathon.
13.1 miles in 2 hours and 42 minutes! This coming from a person who was NOT A RUNNER until 2009, who struggled through her first 5k just seven months ago, and who never thought she could push herself this far physically & mentally. I was proud of myself – not just for the race, but for the months it took to get me prepared to even do it.
And here's what I learned from my newfound "runner's status" – it really is all in the mind. Though it does take some level of physical endurance and fitness to run, I believe 90% of it came from sheer determination and discipline. Unlike most of my other challenges, I wasn't trying to deal with another person or circumstance.
With running, I was battling myself. Do I stop at mile 10 because I'm truly tired or because my brain is telling me I'm tired? Do my feet really hurt, or am I imagining it so I can stop? And am I going to give into any excuse my mind can wrack up? Deep down, do I want to stop because I can't handle it or do I want to keep going because I HAVE to? Those were the questions that I faced EVERY TIME I ran. Even on the marathon day itself.
It's scary, but enlightening, to realize how much influence your mind has over your body. I'm starting to believe that this sort of thinking – positive thinking according to The Secret – may be the next crucial area to train myself in. Who knows what more I'd be able to accomplish if I can overcome my internal critic and skeptic?
"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."
– George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

Speaking at the semi-annual Television Critics Association conference in Los Angeles on Jan. 18, Mr. Moonves declined to provide any specifics about who will replace Mr. Rather when he leaves the job in March. He did note that "it might not be that voice of God, that single anchor that's always existed" and emphasized that "we'll be trying to make it fresher and younger without alienating the older viewers."
'Ensemble anchor team'
He said the network is considering a number of options, including an "ensemble" anchor team, more akin to morning shows, or anchors in various cities. He would not be specific about who he might have approached about becoming the face of the program.
"We have to do something really different to get people's attention," Mr. Moonves said. "We're in third place, we can take risks. We have a great opportunity to perhaps be on the cutting edge."
Evening news coverage in general draws an older demographic, those 45 and up. Mr. Moonves said he thinks he can reinvigorate the evening news format the same way he did the network's prime-time lineup, which won last November's sweeps in the advertiser coveted 18-to-49 demographic for the first time in two decades.
Tarnished by journalism disaster
The reputation of CBS' news operation has been tarnished by the high-profile implosion and retraction of a 60 Minutes Wednesday report on President Bush's military records. Ten days ago, the network sacked the program's producer, Mary Mapes, and asked three other CBS News executives -- Josh Howard, executive producer; Betsy West, senior vice president; and Mary Murphy, senior broadcast producer -- to resign. They haven't done so yet, Mr. Moonves said Jan. 18, and discussions with them are ongoing.
Mr. Moonves, as he has done before, again expressed his support for CBS News President Andrew Heyward, under whose watch the recent journalism debacle unfolded. However, the future of 60 Minutes Wednesday is up in the air. Mr. Moonves said it will have to earn a spot on next season's schedule.
Other planned makeovers
The news division isn't the only CBS makeover target. Critical favorite Joan of Arcadia, which has slipped in the ratings this season, will return to its feel-good spiritual roots. CSI: New York will lighten up its dark tone, literally, injecting more humor into the stories and going for a brighter cinematography.
Because the network is leading the season so far in the important 18-to-49 demographic, Mr. Moonves said he believes that will translate into "hundreds of millions of dollars" going to CBS at the "upfront" advertiser market this spring. He said, however, that CBS will not target its shows at that demographic.
"CBS will never become a narrowcaster," he said. "We program for everybody. When you program hits, people of all ages will come."
The network, during its one-day conference, rolled out some new and revamped mid-season shows like Numb3rs, a crime-based drama about a math prodigy; The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, who takes over for Craig Kilborn; and an Elvis miniseries.

"Breaker, breaker, one nine. Come in, come in, this is the Silver Streak southbound on I-5 at highway marker 306. . . ." Highway travelers with citizen band radios (CBs) don't hear quite so much chatter these days. That's because the toylike fun of a few years ago has given way to practicality. And although CB sales are not in the runaway bracket as they once were, they still qualify as an important electronic line in many stores. Major catalogs of the mail-order companies still feature pages crammed with good-buddy accessories in their semi-annual big books.
So what about the CB fad of a few years ago just being a motorist's plaything?
Those who ride the nation's highways professionally say it never was, although some neophytes may have treated it that way when sets got cheap and were heavily promoted. It is still must equipment for most over-the-road truckers; and it still is the inexpensive, depenable communication system of semi-isolated roadside stopping places. More than that though, it has quietly become the personal security backup of the family vacationer, the interstate-driving salesman with his samples, the metro-city employee driving to and from work at odd hours, and even the weekend traveler.
"You could call today's CB the extram insurance on highways," said one California State Automobile Association executive, "because it can help a driver give almost instant notificatin of any problem.Today's 40-channel CB sets can be bought new for as low as $50. Some of these operate on eight AA batteries; and hooked to an electrical-lighter plug-in kit ($2), these sets are transportable and need not be left in the car to tempt break-ins.

Dukes County Commission Meeting Minutes
Wednesday, March 31, 2010
5 p.m.
County Administration Building
Call to Order
Chairman Carlene Gatting called the County Commissioner's meeting to order at 1:45 p.m. Commissioners Lenny Jason, John Alley, Tristan Israel and Les Leland were present.
Also in attendance were County Manager Russell Smith, Ex. Assistant Martina Thornton, County Treasurer Noreen Mavro Flanders, Asst. Treasurer Carol Grant and Joanie Ames of MVTV.
FY2010 Budget Transfers
Russell explained the FY2010 Budget Summary and the Budget Transfer Sheet presented to the Commissioners. First section of the Transfer Sheet reflects transfers within each department and the transfers balance out, the second section shows inter department transfers and the third section is a supplemental budget. If the supplemental budget gets approved the surplus in FY2010 budget will increase by $8,728.02 to total of $53,307.01. This also calculates in decreases in expense and increases in the projected revenue as shown on the Summary sheet.
Under Vineyard Health Care Access Program there is $35,975.02 in extra money voted by the town extra for the program and it is being distributed to the different lines as part of the supplemental budget.
There has been correction on the first page under Administration Building – the forth line should read "Comprehensive Building Insurance" and on the second page under Integrated Pest Management - the fifth line should read "Unemployment Taxes".
Carlene asked about the $3700 in Parking Clerk's income. Carol said that under the Parking Clerk's supplemental budget is reflected the estimated $3,700 extra income from processing the parking tickets in house for part of the fiscal year, which will cover some of the expenses of bringing the files over from Plymouth County.
Carlene asked about the supplemental budget for the Airport. Noreen explained that the Airport had $2,360,590 in the unreserved fund balance account at the beginning of the fiscal year, they had a Supplemental Budget No.1 in the amount of $1,184,875 approved earlier this year and now they would like to have a $108,000 approved as Supplemental Budget No.2, which would leave $1,175,715 in the Airport's unreserved fund balance account.
John/Tristan moved to approve the presented transfers with corrections. So voted. All in favor.
Russell said that he will present the proposed budget for FY2011 at the next meeting.
Tristan asked for the Year to Date versus Budget reports to be given to the County Commissioners quarterly.
John/Tristan moved to adjourn the meeting at 2:05 p.m. All in favor.

The Russian Bear Passes Away
Courtesy of RingsideNews.com: The 2013 Iron Mike Mazurki Award winner, the "Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff, has passed away at the age of 74 after his battle with liver cancer.
Koloff was the man who famously ended the first championship reign of Bruno Sammartino. Most recently, Koloff was a regular at the Mid-Atlantic Legends Fanfests in Charlotte, NC. It was very obvious to anyone who saw him walk that the business had taken a hard physical toll upon Koloff as he had an obvious bad limp from hip issues dating back to decades of bumping.
The CAC would like to express our deepest condolences to the family, friends and fans of a the Russian Bear.

Five months after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and four months after the initial anthrax scare, the volume of direct mail is back to its normal level, industry executives say. But things haven't returned to business as usual for mailers.
Although the biggest threat to maintaining a steady flow of mail has been the recession, the tragic events of late last year sparked several changes among b-to-b mailers. These include greater selectivity in choosing the target audience and tighter scrutiny of the materials being mailed. It is now standard practice for many companies to list a toll-free phone number or Web address on envelopes and to use an e-mail or telemarketing campaign in concert with a postal drop.
Hopping on the e-mail bandwagon
The anthrax scare has also prompted previously reluctant b-to-b mailers to finally hop aboard the e-mail bandwagon.
"Marketers considering e-mail have been spurred to get into it sooner than expected," said Jim Hathaway, VP-business development for Grafica Inc., an integrated direct marketing agency whose clients include AT&T Corp., Avaya Inc. and PSE&G Inc. "It provides an opportunity for agencies to prove that e-mail lists are reliable and can be just as an effective marketing tool as postal lists."
American Slide Chart Corp., for example, which designs and manufactures dimensional marketing products, increased its e-mail testing following the anthrax attacks. "It's another way for us to introduce ourselves to people who might not know us nor our products, and we need to incorporate it," said Judy Studenski, exec VP of the Wheaton, Ill.-based company.
The anxiety caused by the anthrax attacks has had some effect on recipients' handling of direct mailings. A recent study conducted by Brann Worldwide found that 29% of business professionals are opening less mail in the wake of the attacks.
"People are pragmatic, and clients know what works best in the marketing mix," said David Finkel, CEO of Wilton, Conn.-based Brann Worldwide, whose clients include Microsoft Corp., BT Cellnet and E*Trade Group Inc. "Whether it's the recession, anthrax or media fatigue, it's our responsibility to help clients evaluate through polling and auditing which marketing vehicles are performing and how customers are behaving."
Fine-tuning the guidelines
B-to-b mailers, who generally mail in bulk, are largely immune to mail attacks such as those committed late last year.
"You're dealing with big sorters, printers and stuffers that move at very fast rates," said David Sable, president-CEO of Wunderman Worldwide, New York, a direct marketing agency whose clients include Xerox Corp., AT&T Corp. and Registered.com. "If something happens, the mail is very easy to track."
Still, Sable and others agree that the anthrax scare has heightened awareness among mailers. "We've noticed that because mailrooms are screening the mail so closely there's the possibility that bulk mail could be characterized as junk mail," said Grafica's Hathaway. "We need to change our expectations in terms of lead time, get things out the door quicker and let people know they should be expecting something."
H. Robert Wientzen, president-CEO of the Direct Marketing Association, said marketers must also be sensitive to any additional costs larger companies may now take on as they upgrade their mailroom operations following the anthrax attacks
"There's a fear that with increasing costs companies will begin to question the mail process," Wientzen said. "Marketers have to think strategically so mail is more targeted, more relevant and provides more value to the recipient."

Luc Leestemaker Estate
About Luc Leestemaker
The grandson of a royal court painter, Luc Leestemaker began dappling in abstract expressionist painting in his native Netherlands while pursuing other professional activities. Upon moving to the United States in 1990, he devoted himself full-time to painting and developed a more lyrical style that bridged abstraction and realism. He drew inspiration from Mark Rothko and 18th-century Dutch and English landscape painters. On his larger canvases, he uses a fresco technique—treating the ground with a thin layer of cement and mixing in raw pigment powder before working in acrylic paint and finishing the composition with an oil-based varnish—to lend the painting a sense of layering and luminosity. He achieves a similar effect on his smaller "inner landscapes" using a palette knife. Leestemaker says his atmospheric landscapes "express my emotion/intuition of the abstract compositions as well as the universally understood language of landscape painting."

Watch how to make this recipe.
For the apples: Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Spray the grill pan with vegetable oil cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, toss together the apple slices and safflower oil. Grill until lightly charred, about 2 minutes on each side. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and ginger. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture over the grilled apple slices.
For the cream: In a 1-quart saucepan, combine the maple syrup, cream and butter over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook, until the mixture turns golden, about 4 minutes. Set the pan aside to cool slightly. Add the mascarpone cheese and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Divide the apple slices among 4 small plates. Drizzle with the cream. Sprinkle with the chopped hazelnuts and serve.
To toast the hazelnuts, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly toasted. Cool completely before using.

HAVING nailed the role of Robert De Niro's wife in upcoming Oscar favourite Silver Linings Playbook, Jacki Weaver is to return home to appear opposite Packed to the Rafters' Michael Caton in the low-budget Australian film, Last Cab.
Director Jeremy Sims describes his latest project as a feel-good film about euthanasia.
"It's a coming-of-age story for a 70-year-old man," said the filmmaker.
"And a great role for an older Australian actor."
Adapted from the successful Pork Chop Productions stage play Last Cab to Darwin , and written by Sims and Reg Cribb, the film is based on the true story of Broken Hill taxi driver Max Bell who, in the early 1990s, was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer.
Deciding to end his life with dignity, Max sells up everything he owns and drives 3000km to Darwin to take advantage of the Northern Territory's voluntary euthanasia laws.
Sims says Last Cab's closest cinematic relative is probably About Schmidt, in which Jack Nicholson played an old man discovering how to love at the end of his life.
Weaver starred opposite Barry Otto in the original Pork Chop production, but in a different role.
The 65-year-old actress has secured a string of high profile projects since her 2011 Oscar nomination for Animal Kingdom, including Labor Day with Josh Brolin, Kate Winslet and Tobey Maguire, and Frank or Francis with Nicolas Cage, Jack Black and Steve Carell
Last Cab, which also stars indigenous actress Ningali Lawford, begins shooting in Broken Hill and the Northern Territory in September next year.
Originally published as Weaver, Caton to star in euthanasia film

DELRAY BEACH — The rapid and sometimes controversial development of the Linton Boulevard area continued Monday, with the city`s Planning and Zoning Board clearing the way for two new office blocks and expansion of a sports facility.
The board`s rulings would allow a three-story bank and office building at Congress Avenue and a four-story office block at Southwest Fourth Avenue. Each site is smaller than an acre and previously was zoned for residential development.
``We don`t think that multifamily residential will go well on Linton Boulevard,`` said Robert Eisen, representing the developers of the Southwest Fourth Avenue site.
The planned building would house a real-estate management and development firm, Eisen said. Similar use is forecast for the Congress Avenue site, which will have a first-floor bank and two upper floors that will include offices for Ocean Properties Ltd., developers of the proposed Delint Center nearby.
Tom McMurrain, vice-president of Ocean Properties, said the company will have offices there for the next five years, while the massive Delint project is being built. The 86-acre hotel, office and residential center was approved by the City Council last fall and helped trigger the building boom in the city`s southwest corridor.
The Delint Center is to go before the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council for further review next month. A City Council public hearing on the $100 million project also is planned for May.
Each of the Linton Boulevard office blocks was approved by a 5-1 board vote. The recommendations are expected to go before the City Council next month.
Meanwhile, the board unanimously approved allowing The Baseball School to expand its training complex, just south of Linton Boulevard. The school plans to build 26 apartment units to house those participating in 30-week training sessions at the school.

The Nurture Programme - Infant Health and Wellbeing
Nurture is a programme of work to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for infants and their families. One of the most significant findings from international and national evidence on investment in prevention and early intervention is that the first two years are the most critical in a child's development. The Nurture Programme will aim for better outcomes for infants, but also aims to support the strategic reform of universal health and wellbeing services for infants and their families.
This programme began in mid-2014, when plans for a new initiative to support systems change in infant health and wellbeing services by building the capacity of providers began to take shape. CES assisted the Katharine Howard Foundation and the HSE to develop a logic model for the programme and a grant proposal to support the work was successful at the end of 2014. The programme is being delivered by the HSE, and the Programme Grant is managed by the Katharine Howard Foundation. CES will support the HSE to deliver the programme by providing technical assistance and support to implement the programme.
The four components of the programme involve public information and education, human capital development, development and implementation of tools and resources and the development and implementation of an integrated service delivery framework. The work strands based on these components are:
- System Development
- Ready for Baby
- Ready for Toddler
- Ready for the Work.
A total of €12.1 million is being invested in Nurture over a period of three and a half years, from 2015 to 2017. €10 million is invested by The Atlantic Philanthropies, with the balance supported by the Katharine Howard Foundation and the Community Foundation of Ireland.
Our Role
Activities which CES will undertake include supporting implementation of the programme, supporting the Programme Managers (in the HSE and the Katherine Howard Foundation) and the Steering Group, and organising implementation workshops and learning events. CES has established a dedicated implementation team to lead and support the four areas of work outlined.
The first phase of the work involved scoping of current services, structures, training, policy, and evidence of what works. In 2015, CES conducted an extensive consultation process with organisations and individuals involved in delivering services for infants across the HSE, parents and other statutory and voluntary groups. The scoping report is being used to inform the development of a detailed implementation plan and to identify what will be delivered during the programme.

He graduated Magna Cum Laude, Salutatorian and was the recipient of many academic awards including the Parker Scholastic Excellence Award.
Upon completion of his Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Berry attended the Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies. Dr. Berry has traveled throughout North America and Europe attending neurology conferences and modules to obtain the most recent information in the field of functional neurology. He became a board-certified Chiropractic Neurologist in 2001 upon passing the American Chiropractic Neurology board examination. He has over 2000 post-doctoral hours in the study of Neurology. He became interested in the field of Low Level Laser upon suffering from a severe inflammatory arthritide that almost ended his Chiropractic career. Laser therapy completely alleviated his condition so he became interested in the scientific study of how and why lasers were so effective. He went on to become lead investigator n FDA laser studies and uses lasers extensively in his neurology based practice.

After much speculation, Link has finally picked a running mate -- Fox McCloud will stand by his side representing Nintendo in the 2012 Video Game Presidential Election!
While Link was widely expected to pick Mario -- who he beat to accept the Nintendo nomination -- he instead chose Fox on the grounds that the space traveler was exactly the kind of maverick the campaign needed. While Link didn't comment on the matter himself, his campaign advisor, Peppy Hare, told IGN that he was confident Link made the right pick. "You're becoming more like your father," Peppy told Fox, choosing to ignore the question about foreign policy that was asked. "Never give up. Trust your instincts. Press Z or R twice," he said of Link's campaign strategy.
"We're going to take down Andross and Star Wolf," McCloud said during his acceptance speech. "Also Ganon," he added when given a dirty look by his running mate.
Link and Fox are the first candidates to announce their full ticket, with announcements expected later this week from PlayStation candidate Nathan Drake, Xbox 360 candidate Commander Shepard, PC candidate Gordon Freeman and the recently-announced multiplatform candidate Ezio.
For all of IGN's coverage, including whether or not Nathan Drake and Kratos will be a pair, keep your eye on our 2012 Video Game Presidential Election site!
