Minute Maid's Enhanced Juice Drinks Provide a Boost Of Energy
Houston-based Minute Maid, a unit of Coca-Cola Co., rolls out Minute Maid Enhanced Strawberry Kiwi with Yerba Mate. This flavored juice drink combines an extract from yerba mate, a plant native to South America that contains natural caffeine, with real fruit juice to provide a delicious and natural energy boost.
"Minute Maid is constantly looking for new ways to meet the needs of health-conscious consumers," says Mike Saint John, president of the Minute Maid Business Unit. "Minute Maid Strawberry Kiwi with Yerba Mate is a delicious juice drink providing a natural energy lift with the trusted great taste for which Minute Maid is known."
In a way, the Minute Maid Enhanced Juice line expands by going smaller. New 12-oz. shrink-wrapped single-serve bottles now house the three varieties: Pomegranate Blueberry Flavored 100% Juice Blend (five juices with omega-3/DHA and four other nutrients to help nourish the brain and body), Pomegranate Lemonade (an excellent source of antioxidant vitamins C and E) and Strawberry Kiwi Flavored Juice Drink.
"By launching our most popular varieties of the Minute Maid Enhanced Juice and Juice Drink line in a chilled single-serve [bottle], we will continue to meet the needs of health-conscious consumers with a new, convenient package," says Saint John. "The new single-serve also allows consumers who are on the go to enjoy the delicious taste of Minute Maid anytime and anywhere."
The Minute Maid Enhanced Juice and Juice Drink line features two additional flavors: Minute Maid Pomegranate Flavored Tea (an excellent source of antioxidant vitamins C and E now reformulated with only 40 calories per serving) and Minute Maid Heart Wise Orange Juice (with naturally sourced plant sterols to help lower cholesterol. Both are available in unique 59-oz. PET bottles.

Morgan Freeman injured in car accident in Jackson
Oscar winning actor Morgan Freeman was injured in a car accident on late Sunday night and is in a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.world Updated: Aug 04, 2008 22:36 IST
Oscar winning actor Morgan Freeman was injured in a car accident on late Sunday night and is in a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Kathy Stringer said Freeman, 71, is in serious condition. The hospital is about 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of the accident scene in rural Tallahatchie County in the Mississippi Delta.
Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt Ben Williams confirmed Freeman was in a wreck shortly before midnight Sunday, but said he was still gathering information and had few details Monday. Clay McFerrin, editor of Sun Sentinel in Charleston, said he arrived at the accident scene after it happened about 4 miles (6.44 kilometers) west of Charleston, not far from where Freeman owns a home with his wife.
McFerrin said it appeared that Freeman's car was airborne went it left the highway and landed in a ditch.
"They had to use the jaws of life to extract him from the vehicle," McFerrin said. "He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point." McFerrin said bystanders converged on the scene trying to get a glimpse of the actor.
When one person tried to snap a photo with a cell phone camera, Freeman joked, "no freebies, no freebies," McFerrin said. The hospital where Freeman is being treated is commonly known as The Med, and is an acute-care teaching facility that serves patients within 150 miles (241 kilometers) of Memphis.

PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- Roger DeCoster's name is practically synonymous with the sport of motocross, and he is generally recognized as the best-known MX racer in the first 50 years of the sport. On Friday, Nov. 18, he will be honored as a Motorcycle Hall of Fame Legend at the annual Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at the Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa in Las Vegas, Nev.
When DeCoster was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999, his racing accomplishments were simply remarkable: five 500cc Motocross World Championships, numerous 500cc Motocross Grand Prix victories and four Trans-AMA Motocross Championships.
He also was a member of six winning Belgium Motocross des Nations teams, was a Gold Medalist in the International Six Day Trial (Enduro) and earned numerous national championships in his native Belgium, including a national Trials title.
DeCoster continued to find success after his racing career. He was the manager of the first U.S. team to win the Motocross des Nations in 1981, and managed many U.S. teams at the prestigious event over the years to the present day. He currently is in charge of KTM's Supercross and motocross efforts in the United States.
His stature is such in the world of motocross that he is often simply referred to as "The Man."
"Roger DeCoster is not only a motorcycling legend in America, but around the world," said Jeffrey V. Heininger, chairman of the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, which raises money for the Hall of Fame. "It's truly an honor for us to be able to honor him."
DeCoster, who joins Kenny Roberts as Legends honorees at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, said he was humbled to receive the honor.
"It's always nice to receive this honor, and yet on the other hand I still have a job to do, and I feel like I still have something to accomplish!" DeCoster said. "I am really looking forward to hanging out with Kenny Roberts and reminiscing with all of my friends."
After decades in the sport, DeCoster said a few moments stand out.
"Looking back, it was a very good feeling to win the 250cc [Trophee des Nations] and 500cc [Motocross des Nations] nations' titles in 1981 as the American team captain," he said. "It was the first time for the Americans to win the biggest motocross events in the world. Also, to win it [Motocross of Nations] again last year in America was very special."
As a team manager, he has also been part of many memorable AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross campaigns.
"It felt great to win championships with Ricky Carmichael and Chad Reed," he said. "Perhaps the best for me has been Ryan Dungey's title last year because he was a mid-level guy who became a top-level guy. It's a great feeling that the team accomplished this."
DeCoster will be honored during the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony for the Class of 2011, which includes motocross promoter Stu Peters, noted magazine editor Phil Schilling, industry leader Fred Fox, roadracing champion Doug Polen and early motorcycling pioneer Norbert Schickel.
The Class of 2011 will officially be inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame on Nov. 18 as part of the AMA Legends & Champions Weekend. In addition to the induction ceremony, the weekend includes the 2011 Motorcycle Hall of Fame Concours d'Elegance on Saturday, Nov. 19, featuring some of the country's most impressive original and restored classic motorcycles. The AMA Racing Championship Banquet closes out the weekend on Sunday, Nov. 20, where AMA Racing amateur champions of all ages will be recognized for their 2011 accomplishments.
Tickets for the AMA Legends & Champions weekend are now available through this online registration form: http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=vw9ldxbab&oeidk;=a07e3rn4juk2e3f80c1. Tickets may be ordered over the phone by calling (800) 262-5646.
The AMA Legends & Champions Weekend also includes the final round of the GEICO AMA EnduroCross National Championship Series on Saturday evening, Nov. 19. EnduroCross tickets are available at www.orleansarena.com/event-calendar/endurocross or by phone at (702) 284-7777 or (888) 234-2334.
The AMA Legends & Champions Weekend will be held at the Las Vegas Red Rock Resort, a world-class spa, hotel and casino, featuring a range of entertainment, dining and family-friendly attractions. The facility's expansive ballrooms provide a stunning backdrop for the AMA Legends & Champions Weekend, which is certain to be memorable for the 2011 inductees, champions, families, friends and fans. Room reservations are available now at a special group rate by calling (866) 767-7773 and referencing group AMA or AMERICANMOTO. Online room reservations are available at RedRockLasVegas.com.

Need more evidence of #thewonderofwonder? Random House has announced that R.J. Palacio's middle-grade novel, Wonder, has sold one million copies in print and digital formats in North America since its February 2012 release by Knopf Books for Young Readers. The novel tells the story of fifth-grader Auggie Pullman, who was born with a severe facial deformity, and explores his impact on the people around him.
"We credit the sensation that is Wonder to a remarkable, unforgettable, inspiring story written by debut author R.J. Palacio, and the extraordinary enthusiasm of booksellers, educators, families, and readers everywhere," said Barbara Marcus, president and publisher of Random House Children's Books, in a statement.
In addition to the accolades the book has received, including multiple starred reviews, and its appearance on bestseller lists, Wonder has also spawned a national anti-bullying movement, dubbed Choose Kind, and an accompanying hashtag, #thewonderofwonder, through which librarians, teachers, and readers have been sharing their enthusiasm for the book. Wonder is the first novel from Palacio, a pseudonym for Raquel Jaramillo, the former director of children's publishing at Workman, who will assume a new role as editor-at-large of the company in early 2014, as she devotes more time to writing.

Horizons Academy instructor Colby Ray Cadwell grabbed a student by the ear and hair, according to authorities.
A Bradenton teacher was charged with child abuse after he carried a student out of the classroom and threw him outside, authorities said Friday.
Colby Ray Cadwell, 32, a teacher at Horizons Academy, faces a third-degree felony charge with a maximum penalty of five years in prison if he is convicted.
The alleged incident took place April 23 as the 13-year-old student stood in class, waiting in line.
Cadwell said the student "flinched" at another child, "as if he was going to strike the student," according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office report.
Cadwell threw him on the classroom floor and then picked the student up by his ear and hair. The teacher placed the student in a chokehold and carried him out the exit door, throwing him onto the grass, the student told authorities in the report.
Others at school witnessed the incident, which was also captured on surveillance video, the report said.
The principal reported the incident to the student resource deputy.
During the sheriff's investigation, Cadwell "apologized for the incident and stated he would have handled the incident differently by grabbing (the student) by the arm," the report said.
Cadwell was hired as a teacher's aide on Jan. 24, 2007 at Manatee County schools.
He became a teacher on Aug. 17, 2010 and currently makes $38,226 a year.
He was placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal investigation, said district spokeswoman Margi Nanney.
"The school district's highest priority is the safety and security of our students," Superintendent Rick Mills said in a statement. "We are also committed to treating our school district employees fairly to ensure they are afforded all due process rights when accused of any offense. As is our practice, the Manatee School District will not initiate any investigation until law enforcements' investigation is concluded."
Horizons Academy is located at 1910 27th St. E. in Bradenton.
Cadwell could not be reached for comment.

Hot Rod, Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road Magazine, and European Car Editors duke it out on the asphalt with a friendly clash of the aftermarket performance world
In November 2013, after the week-long SEMA auto show in Las Vegas, Nevada, three editors from three respectable magazines met-up for a completely different event: A drag race between all-American muscle, Bavarian brute and a bare-bones buggy.
Each editor came fully-equipped for the task at hand; packing enough heat for a Wild West showdown on the tarmac.
- The place: The El Toro, California, Marine base
- The cars: 1970 Harbinger Mustang, 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo, and LS3-powered Ultra Four buggy
Michael Finnegan from HOT ROD magazine was in the 1970 Harbinger Mustang (with a 1969 front clip) built by Agent 47. The car packs 420hp from a Boss 302 crate engine that breathes through a custom airbox with K&N filters and a set of long tube headers. The majority of the car, including the body panels were made using 3-D printers, which creates custom parts using carbon fiber to make the car extremely lightweight (approximately 3,000 lbs.)
Greg Emmerson from European Car magazine was in the 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo modified by BBI Autosport. The Porsche has all-wheel-drive (AWD), approximately 600 hp, and a 3.6L engine outback.
Fred Williams from Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine was in a LS3-powered Ultra Four buggy from Bomber Fabrication. The buggy's frame was built using 100% chromoly tubing and tig-welded for strength. The off-road vehicle also includes Currie axles front and rear with King shocks at all four corners.
Who was the winner? You'll have to watch to find out.

Summit Racing Four-Wheel Disc Brakes For C-10s
Building a bitchin classic pickup takes more than its fair share of planning and list making-especially if it's gonna be a driver and not just a showpiece. One aspect that more often than not shows up lower on that priority list than it should is the brake system. Every one of us should pay as close attention to brake system upgrades as we do to our horsepower, stance, color, and wheel choices. After all, what good is a great looking high-performance pickup if we end up wrecking it before we get a real chance to enjoy it? Not much, believe me. It's with this in mind that we'd like to stress the fact that a safe and reliable braking system is one of the most important upgrades we can perform on our trucks-and it's a rather easy one at that.
Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of an upgrade like this is choosing the components we want to use. What makes it difficult is the shear amount of options we have to choose from (component and kit wise). It's probably safe to say that every major classic truck parts source offers an array of brake upgrades and/or disc brake conversions-making it easy for us on one hand, and difficult on the other. In our case, and like we often do when parts shopping we grabbed our ever-handy Summit Racing catalog. One reason the Summit catalog is such a great way to shop for hot rod and classic truck parts is the vast array of manufacturer's products they both stock and sell. Heck, even their Summit-branded components are manufactured by a host of the best manufacturing names in their fields so quality is never one of our concerns. In this case we opened up our most recent catalog (the Nov./Dec. '09 issue) and went straight to the chassis section and found the components we were looking for-and at some pretty darn fair pricing.
So without further blabbering on my part take a look at how we went about updating the front and converting our Chevy from old-style drums to great performing four-wheel discs in a weekend. And don't forget performance stopping is every bit as important as going fast-actually more so.

ASU Book Traces Project
Our project seeks to identify, record, and photograph significant, unique features of C19 and early C20 readership found in out-of-copyright ASU-owned books. To begin, we're examining pre-1923 titles in the PRs and the PSs in Hayden Library. (There are 13,673 pre-1923 books on the shelves in the PR and PS--British and American literature--sections.) This ASU Digital Repository space will collect digital images of the most interesting of these examples. We will also be sharing some of them with the University of Virginia-based crowd-sourced project founded and led by Prof. Andrew Stauffer, from which we take our project name and our inspiration: http://booktraces.org. We hope to locate objects for a potential future ASU special exhibit in 2019, when Hayden Library re-opens after its major renovation. (The books are leaving the tower in summer 2017.)

Savvy marketers know that cutting back on marketing research during a recession is risky. There are many benefits to continuing marketing research efforts despite a downturn. Riding out this recession depends on staying relevant in the eye of the consumer. Consumers' attitudes and needs are changing rapidly. Americans are cutting back on purchases and looking for deals. How do companies compete effectively in this new environment without giving away the farm? Companies need to continue marketing research to manage this uncertainty. How will marketing research benefit your company?
Increase sales. Quantitative and qualitative studies can be conducted to help you better understand consumers' attitudes and needs and determine how well your products meet those needs. Properly designed research will lead to marketing strategies that will target increased product usage from current consumers as well as non-users.
Maximize profit. There are many things a company can do to maximize profits beyond just cutting costs, such as item optimization, customer profitability analysis, and price elasticity. Weeding out unprofitable products and customers takes time and focus, but the company as a whole will be in a stronger financial position for it. A price elasticity study will help to determine how much a price increase will impact sales and profitability. It can also determine the optimal price point or the price in which a product is most profitable. Developing goals based on profitability rather than sales will encourage the entire company to act in a profitable and more responsible manner.
Minimize Risk. The more you know and understand about your consumers, competition and customers, the better able you are to make informed business decisions with confidence. Tracking surveys are a good way to assess attitudes and behaviors over time, and qualitative research will fill in the details and help you understand what works and doesn't work with your marketing strategy and communication.
Large companies understand the need for market research and have their own market research departments. There are more ways than ever to reach consumers in today's digital world. You can utilize social networking sites as a cost effective way to conduct market research. But be careful, those websites may not provide you with the total picture. You will want to supplement the research with online surveys and other methodologies. There are still ways to keep research costs low without sacrificing integrity.

Proust said that all of Dostoyevsky's novels could be called "Crime and Punishment." The Tolstoyan title of Sheila Heti's "How Should a Person Be?" (Henry Holt) would surely serve for uncountably many works of fiction. But Heti's first stab at an answer, which appears on the second page, is disconcerting:
How should a person be? I sometimes wonder about it, and I can't help answering like this: a celebrity. But for all that I love celebrities, I would never move somewhere that celebrities actually exist. My hope is to live a simple life, in a simple place, where there's only one example of everything.
Heti goes on to say that by a "simple life" she means "a life of undying fame that I don't have to participate in. I don't want anything to change, except to be as famous as one can be, but without that changing anything. . . . It is the quality of fame one is after here, without any of its qualities." The reader might reasonably fear that any book whose answer to its own religiously important question is so shallowly secular should not be asking it in the first place. But there is a deliberate flippancy here, and it becomes clear enough that Heti is aiming at a calculated desacralization. On the one hand, there is the timeless seriousness of the question, and on the other hand there is the hapless, incoherent present-day chaos of the reply, which takes a whole messy book to fail to answer. The inadequacy of the response is a kind of contemporary confession, just as Heti intends her book to be a larger portrait of a generation that knows the right questions but struggles to find the right answers.
That generation is personified in this book by a group of Canadian friends, apparently in their late twenties or early thirties, who live and work—or fail to work—in Toronto. They are writers, artists, intellectuals, talkers, and they sit around discussing how best to be. This sounds hideously narcissistic. It is. Who cares about a bunch of more or less privileged North American artists, at leisure to examine their creative ambitions and anxieties? But it is an old and allowable indulgence (at least in France: "Lost Illusions," "Sentimental Education," "The Counterfeiters," "Nausea"), and the hope of such projects is that what they lose in grandeur and stateliness they will gain in immediacy and honesty; that their local littlenesses can radiate generally, if not universally.
Sheila Heti is a thirty-five-year-old Canadian writer, who lives in Toronto. She has an appealing restlessness, a curiosity about new forms, and an attractive freedom from pretentiousness or cant (a freedom not always typical of original or avant-garde writers, for whom a Tom McCarthy-like self-solemnity is more the norm). Her first book, "The Middle Stories," published when she was twenty-four, was a collection of brief postmodern fables, glittering if slight narratives that often proceed as if they were rewriting canonical fairy tales (a plumber and a princess, a girl who keeps a mermaid in a jar, a woman who lives in a shoe, and so on). Her first novel, "Ticknor" (2005), was not an obvious successor. Where "The Middle Stories" are spiky and fantastical, "Ticknor" is velvety and diplomatic. It is a gently compassionate portrait, a dramatic monologue, delivered by a man who considers himself a failure, about his unequal relations (imagined or true), with an old friend, who is now a famous man of letters. Based loosely on the friendship of the nineteenth-century American historian William H. Prescott and his more obscure biographer, George Ticknor, Heti's account is a historical novel, but it is held together not by its historical accuracy but by its smoothly involving prose and by the melancholy intensity of its narrator. That it is the work of a postmodernist rather than a conventional realist can be felt in its compact and bold autonomy. It creates a singular world of prose, a discrete unfurling address, not unlike, say, the fictions of Steven Millhauser.
Heti's new book is different again, and takes a new set of risks. It is subtitled "A Novel from Life." Most novels, of course, are "from life" (Tolstoy often borrowed verbatim from his own experience), but "How Should a Person Be?" takes its place in a contemporary literary movement that is impatient with conventional fiction-making. "Increasingly, I'm less interested in writing about fictional people," Heti said in an interview with the art critic Dave Hickey, "because it seems so tiresome to make up a fake person and put them through the paces of a fake story. I just—I can't do it." Her new book has a blurb from David Shields (who has written an anti-fictional manifesto, "Reality Hunger"), and the publisher says that it uses "transcribed conversations, real emails, plus heavy doses of fiction," and is "part literary novel, part self-help manual, and part bawdy confessional."
Sure enough, Heti's book has a pleasingly (sometimes irritatingly) free, formless, and autobiographical atmosphere. Chunks of the novel are written in the style of a play; she includes e-mails, authorial thoughts, and essay-ettes, and there is a general absence of plot. The prose is what one might charitably call basic: simple, direct, sometimes ungainly. The conversation wanders rather than walks. Instead of "scenes" there are brief chapters, some with coolly quizzical titles: "What Is Empathy?" "What Is Freedom?" The characters appear not to be invented but to be drawn from Heti's own circle of friends in Toronto: they are a writer named Sheila (the Heti figure); an artist named Margaux (based on the Canadian artist Margaux Williamson, who has collaborated with Heti); Misha (based on the writer Misha Glouberman, who has also worked with Heti); and Sholem (based on Sholem Krishtalka, who appeared in a film made by Margaux Williamson).
"Reality hunger" is an unwittingly apt phrase, because among the difficulties of this kind of storytelling is that one can never get enough reality into it. Realism is perpetually hungry, and keeps on trying new ways—every fifty years or so—to break into the larder. The writer who is seeking "life," who is trying to write "from life," is always unappeased, because no bound manuscript can ever be "real" enough. And this hunger is shared by most writers, not just by those who are hostile to conventional fictionality. Heti may include real e-mails and recordings of actual conversations, but, of course, her book is shaped and plotted (however lightly), and uses fiction as well as autobiography. Since most readers do not know who Heti's friends are or how Heti herself lives, the characters will effectively appear invented—as Heti doubtless understands. Her book could always be more real; it could always be more directly "from life."
Would this be to its aesthetic benefit? On the evidence presented, I doubt it. When Heti complains that she is tired of creating fictional characters, note first the puritanism of the response, whereby inventions are not merely invented but are somehow "fake"—false, lying, artificial. (This moralism is inseparable from the history of the novel and its detractors.) And note, too, that Heti unconsciously concedes something about the difficulty of putting invented characters under moral and formal pressure: she is tired, she says, of sending characters "through the paces of a fake story." But the intermittent slackness of her own book betrays the disadvantages of not doing so.
"How Should a Person Be?" offers a vital and funny picture of the excitements and longueurs of trying to be a young creator in a free, late-capitalist, Western city. Sheila and Margaux, though temperamentally different, share a recognizable set of aims and anxieties. Sheila is full of arrogance and insecurity, and a sense of weary belatedness: "I look at all the people who are alive today and think, These are my contemporaries. These are my fucking contemporaries! We live in an age of some really great blow-job artists. Every era has its art-form. The nineteenth century, I know, was tops for the novel." Like Margaux, she is desperately committed to her craft (she is trying to write "a play that is going to save the world") but is skeptical about her right to be an artist, and wary of making big claims for the value or beauty of her work. She spends the entire novel failing to write a play; like psychoanalysis, this unwritten play accompanies her ordinary existence, and has become coterminous with it. Margaux sometimes wishes she had gone into politics; her first thought on waking is "shame about all the things wrong in the world that she wasn't trying to fix."
Accordingly, she hopes that her art can be meaningful but "had her doubts, so worked doubly hard to make her choice of being a painter as meaningful as it could be." There are problems so vast, Sheila thinks, that "a young woman sitting alone in her room should slit her throat and die sooner than bother about the state of her soul, when so many great artists before her spent decades recalibrating a single blank canvas in their studio, fifteen, sixteen hours a day, as their marriages crumbled into the soil."
I'm not sure that this is a very coherent thought, but hasn't every young contemporary artist shuddered a version of it? How talented am I? Do my gifts merit the luxury of dedicated labor? How on earth did the great artists get so much done? Why were they so bloody good? (Ian Dury's song "There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards" perfectly captures the tone of resentful respect.) And for Sheila and Margaux there is the freedom and burden of gender, of justifying a female version of genius, a female version of entitlement: "I see that I've done as little as anyone else in this world to deserve the grand moniker I." Both Sheila and Margaux have a surfeit of empathy, and Sheila wonders whether you have to stifle that will to empathize in order to "act freely, to know your own desires." For her, the question becomes acute not with regard to her writing (though it is always present here as a literary question) but with regard to a sexually intense relationship she has with a man named Israel, who is erotically dominating and demanding. Sheila is initially excited by Israel's needs, but she feels increasingly confused about the freedom of her agency: "Did I want to write this letter to Israel because I wanted to?"There's that ungainly prose again. It's a shame that Heti's writing, normally pellucid, is so loose here. Of course, this is related to the raw, almost Warholian feel of the book. The novel begins and ends with a game the friends have initiated, a competition to produce the ugliest painting. In similar spirit, this is supposed to be a kind of "ugly novel," written in rapid prose, unafraid to reveal its narrator, caught in the midst of her half-thoughts, her vulgar weaknesses (her obsession with fame and celebrity, for example), and her poorly concealed vulnerabilities. And the book's rapid, pop-up format offers all manner of quick pleasures. It enables Heti to use the novel as a kind of collection box, for gathering the stray donations and aperçus and complaints of her generation. There are plenty of good jokes, and at its best "How Should a Person Be?" has the feel of one of Kenneth Koch's poems:
The other night out at the bars, I learned that Nietzsche wrote on a typewriter. It is unbelievable to me, and I no longer feel that his philosophy has the same validity or aura of truth that it formerly did.
Still, Heti is at times more enamored of the sparkle of her friends than seems warranted. A fair amount of the conversation has that sloppy, pert formlessness characteristic of university days, so that one occasionally has to remind oneself that the book's author is thirty-five and not twenty. We get passages that begin with someone saying something like "You know, sometimes I get really excited thinking about autism"; Margaux can be found intoning: "You know, all week I was sitting at my computer, thinking, Am I retarded? Am I retarded? Am I retarded?" If I wanted to hear that, I could settle in at a Starbucks and wait for the schoolkids to get out at three o'clock. At one point, Margaux says that "everybody we hang out with is pretty competent at vaguely intelligent party talk," which might be a fair summary of the book's presiding atmosphere.
There is, too, a troubling knowingness, an uneasiness about how seriously the novel should press down on its seriously interrogative title. This sometimes presents itself, interestingly, as a failure of realism. At one moment, for instance, Sheila finds herself reading a book called "Important Artists." She reads the biographies, takes notes, and lists the cities with the highest number of resident Important Artists. New York comes first, with thirty. Sheila decides to go to New York. It is the only obvious way to be Important: "Now that I had no hope of finding my soul by staying where I was, I wanted to take a different route to the one thing that would justify the ugliness in me: I would become Important." So off she goes to New York, where she spends a few days not writing her play. The scene is amusing enough, but it isn't real. I mean that it doesn't ring true, and veers into broad burlesque. Even if it actually happened, at some distant point in Heti's young life, the motivation as presented seems insultingly shallow and sketchy (that capitalized "Important"), and you get the feeling that the author is making fun of her narrator, or even making fun of her own desire to be an artist, and finds something embarrassing about the earnest and serious questions. After all, if you title a chapter that is only a few pages long "What Is Empathy?" you cannot seriously want to hear the reply.
Heti seems to mistrust her own mockery, too, and this produces only more earnestness, more self-questioning—but now of a disgusted, self-hating nature. This talented writer may well have identified a central dialectic of twenty-first-century postmodern being. Yet it's hard to say whether she is the analyst of this evasiveness or its victim. Every so often, this book approaches a solitary, troubled, deep, entirely personal intensity that flickers into acuteness. ("I see that I've done as little as anyone else in this world to deserve the grand moniker I.") But Heti never pursues that solitary note with the rigor that it deserves. It is easier, more charming, more hospitable, more successfully evasive, to bring in the gang of friends and get a "vaguely intelligent" conversation going. ♦

Corruption Perceptions Index
Transparency International
"The Corruption Perceptions Index 2013 serves as a reminder that the abuse of power, secret dealings and bribery continue to ravage societies around the world. The Index scores 177 countries and territories on a scale from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean). No country has a perfect score, and two-thirds of countries score below 50. This indicates a serious, worldwide corruption problem. Hover on the map above to see how your country fares. The world urgently needs a renewed effort to crack down on money laundering, clean up political finance, pursue the return of stolen assets and build more transparent public institutions." READ MORE
How to Measure a Post-2015 MDG on Good Governance
Global Integrity
"There's been plenty of chatter in recent months about a possible post-2015 Millennium Development Goal on governance following the release of the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda. The report called out "good governance and effective institutions" as one of 12 "illustrative" goals that nations might consider when adopting new development targets for the post-2015 era. This is potentially big news for transparency and accountability boosters; enshrining good governance in the post-2015 MDG process could provide significant political cover for continued reform efforts while simultaneously unlocking new resources for the work.
A chief risk to the prospect of a good governance goal is the data problem. How would we measure countries' progress towards "good governance" in a post-2015 framework? Whose data should be used? Is it accurate and robust enough for such an august task? Is it possible to generate quality data on a global scale, regularly, that could be used for tracking?" READ MORE

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has chosen former Procter & Gamble Chief Executive Bob McDonald, an Army veteran, as his nominee to be the next secretary of veterans affairs, a senior Obama administration official said on Sunday.
Obama's announcement of McDonald, 61, will be made on Monday. If confirmed by the Senate, McDonald would be tasked with repairing the Veterans Administration after widespread evidence of delays in military veterans getting healthcare at VA facilities.
The announcement will come days after a White House review found significant and chronic failures across the board at the VA and evidence that a "corrosive culture" prevails.
A senior administration official said Obama was attracted to McDonald by his corporate background and military service. He would succeed Eric Shinseki, who resigned late in May after the depth of the VA's problems became clear.
McDonald is the former chairman, president and CEO of Procter & Gamble (PG.N), having retired a year ago after 33 years with the Fortune 500 company, where he started as a brand assistant in 1980 and rose through the ranks.
He served on the McKinsey Advisory Council, the Singapore International Advisory Council of the Economic Development Board, and on the boards of U.S. Steel and Xerox Corp.
Officials believe his lengthy tenure at P&G prepares him well for a huge agency with management challenges in providing services to more 8 million veterans a year. At P&G, he oversaw more than 120,000 employees, with operations around the world, selling products in more than 180 countries.
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner called McDonald "a good man, a veteran, and a strong leader with decades of experience in the private sector. With those traits, he's the kind of person who is capable of implementing the kind of dramatic systemic change that is badly needed and long overdue at the VA."
But Boehner, the top Republican in Congress, added: "The next VA secretary can only succeed in implementing that type of change if his boss, the president, first commits to doing whatever it takes to give our veterans the world class health care system they deserve by articulating a vision for sweeping reform. Our nation's veterans deserve nothing less."
After graduating in the top 2 percent of his class at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, McDonald served in the U.S. Army as a captain, primarily in the 82nd Airborne Division, and received the Meritorious Service Medal. "Bob is an immensely gifted and caring individual. That was evident to me when we first met as cadets at West Point, over 40 years ago," retired Major General James "Spider" Marks said in a statement. "He came from a military family, and knows the challenges from living them."
Corporate colleagues of McDonald repeatedly cited his management abilities in grappling with large and complex organizations. American Express Chief Executive Ken Chenault, who served on the P&G board during McDonald's time there, called McDonald a strong manager who knows how to make large organizations work effectively.
"He's an excellent choice to set the right course for the Veterans Administration at a difficult time," Chenault said in a statement.
The White House review, which was conducted by senior Obama aide Rob Nabors, said the agency's 14-day scheduling standard for new patients to receive care was arbitrary, ill-defined and misunderstood.
Obama accepted the findings on Friday by Nabors and acting Veterans Secretary Sloan Gibson, who said: "We can and must solve these problems as we work to earn back the trust of veterans."

Polyquatrenium is the chemical name or International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients for several polymers that are the main ingredients commonly found in a variety of personal care products. There are at least 37 polymers under the name Polyquatrenium and Polyquatrenium-4 is just one of them.
Polyquatrenium-4 is specifically used in hair care products such as hair conditioners, shampoos, mousse, hair dyes, hair sprays and other hair styling agents.
History and Origin
Polyquatrenium-4 is a Hydroxyethyl cellulose dimethyl diallylammonium chloride copolymer that has been synthetically produced to be used in the personal care industry. The name Polyquatrenium is designated by the International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients and Polyquatrenium-4 is just the 4th in all 47 polymers in this category. All of these polymers have specific uses in many industries all around the world.
Ancient Uses
The use of Polyquatrenium-4 was unheard of during ancient times. Personal care products used for the skin and hair were obtained mainly from nature. Plant parts and extracts made from these parts were the ingredients used to cleanse and moisturize skin; they were also used in the treatment of minor skin irritations, wounds, boils and as poultices for burns and stings.
Modern Uses
In modern times, chemical alteration and laboratory testing have led to the development and mass production of polymers that benefit many industries. Polyquatrenium-4 has been used in many applications but it is in hair care that it has sought much acclaim. It is a main ingredient in shampoos that effectively cleanses and moisturizes hair. It is also found in hair conditioner that increases hair's luster, bounce and shine. Apart from daily hair care, Polyquatrenium-4 is also an ingredient in hair styling aids. Hair gel is used to style and provide a temporary fix to hair. It is easily removed by water and is non irritating and cannot harm hair or scalp at all.
Polyquatrenium-4 and all other 46 polymers are all positively charged and they help neutralize negative charges of shampoo and proteins found in hair enabling the hair to lie flat and appear smooth to the touch. The positive ionic charge also aids in binding Polyquatrenium-4 to hair making it a perfect ingredient in hair mousse, hair spray and many other hair care and hair styling aids. It is also found to be an ingredient in hair dyes because of its ability to bind with hair proteins.
Research has also found that some Polyquatrenium polymers have antimicrobial properties and it can be a great ingredient in hand soaps and disinfectants.
Side Effects
The use of Polyquatrenium-4 and other polymers in hair care products and other personal care products has been found safe by many governing bodies. It is however important for people with sensitive skin to test a little bit of hair care product especially hair dye before using. There are other ingredients in hair dye that can be hazardous to health.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women must be cautioned in using hair dye because of these ingredients. Using hair care products on children with sensitive skin should be discouraged and it is best to consult a dermatologist for the appropriate hair care or skin care products to use for babies and people with extra sensitive skin.

What if we take longer than 40 days?
We understand that purchase decisions can take a longer than the trial. Don't worry, there's no loss of data as PaperCut keeps running in the background.
How much does it cost?
PaperCut NG pricing is based on the number of users (not servers), and industry you're from. A one off payment with no obligation to upgrade and no annual fees.
I'd like to try but don't want to install it yet in production?
We agree, installing trials on live systems can ring alarm bells! Consider a standalone machine or VM if you're keen to have a quick play. If you're installing on a production system, we recommend setting up in "silent monitoring" mode by ensuring you don't yet set up any limits or quotas.
I like PaperCut NG, but want to manage my devices. Can I experience PaperCut MF?

August 1–27, 2017
By Mat Smart
Directed by Jackson Gay
Sheila and her sister Abigail work for their mother's small family business. Sheila's job used to be a source of joy and exhilaration; now she's questioning everything. But when you're an assassin, being uninspired means getting sloppy, and getting sloppy means getting killed. Kill Local is a pitch-black comedy about blood ties, revenge and trying to get unstuck—especially when your life is dedicated to ending others'.
Kill Local received its first reading as part of the Playhouse's acclaimed DNA New Work Series, which offers playwrights the opportunity to develop a script and receive valuable audience feedback. Several mainstage Playhouse productions have been developed through the DNA New Work Series, including Miss You Like Hell, The Last Tiger in Haiti, Blueprints to Freedom, The Who & The What and Chasing the Song.

T 905/09 – Barbie Is Lonely, Buy Me A Ken
3 comments:
The decision seems to be (almost) entirely based on the skilled person's general knowledge, with D1 only mentioned in passing: On request by the applicant, the examining division had later introduced a document, D1=GB2349551, but only, as it argued, to illustrate what was considered notoriously known in the art [...]. Consistent with this position, the decision under appeal does not rely on D1 in its reasons.
If D1 hadn't been introduced, I think that the board would have sent the file back to the division.

As long as the ED only relies on notorious knowledge (or on common general knowledge not contested by the applicant), I see no reason why the Board would send it back.

In my corner of the EPO-Battleship I never managed to send out a Search Report with a "No search" declaration, regardless how hopeless the application was.
The message from the director (who signed out search files) was that issuing a "No search" declaration was much more trouble than it was worth, as the boards often considered it a right for the applicant to be apprised of the relevant prior art. Better cite something which you believed went in the general direction of the nonsense (e.g.: perpetual motion) you were looking at; this wouldn't hinder you in being scathing in your notification, and concentrate on 83, 84, 57, 53, 52(2), etc., issues.

Valencia granted work permit
Sam Allardyce has not had much good news of late but he will be delighted that Ecuador striker Enner Valencia has been granted a work permit to complete his move to West Ham.
With club-record signing Andy Carroll ruled out for four months following surgery on an ankle injury, Allardyce will be keen for Valencia to join up with his new team-mates sooner rather than later.
Carroll, who also missed a similar period at the start of last season, was sorely missed when sidelined until January but Allardyce has made moves in the transfer market to bolster his attacking options - even before the England international's latest setback.
Valencia's successful work-permit hearing means the 25-year-old now joins Carlton Cole, Modibo Maiga and fellow new recruit Mauro Zarate in the Hammers' strike-force, with the former Pachuca man looking to build on an impressive World Cup in which he scored all three of Ecuador's goals.
"It's exciting to be here in England and London," he told West Ham TV.
"I want to repay the club in my performances for what they are investing in me and I'm really looking forward to it. I really appreciate the welcome I've been given and I'm excited to be here.
"I've already watched and read a lot about the club to learn about it - I know the fans are really passionate and I'm really glad to have signed.
"The World Cup was a good tournament for me personally, I scored three times and for my first World Cup it was a good experience, but I hope my next one is better for me and the team.
"Of course, the World Cup gives me confidence to come to Europe and I want to take and advance with this opportunity that West Ham have given to me."
Valencia also scored in Ecuador's 2-2 World Cup warm-up draw against England and wants to be just as successful when he comes up against the same opposition on a weekly basis.
"For me, scoring against England, one of the big teams in the world, before the World Cup was important for me. Hopefully I can score again against those defenders," he added.
"The Premier League is the top league and I have followed it in Mexico. Obviously my countryman Antonio Valencia has played here for a long time so it's a big step for me to come here from Mexico and I hope I can be as successful as Antonio.
"I scored many goals as a striker. I'm fast, and I try to continue like that because I know the goals brought me to West Ham."
Despite completing the capture of Valencia, the Hammers are likely to return to the transfer market for another forward with question marks remaining over Carroll's long-term fitness.

I am a current dental student who has recently taken the Dental Admissions Test and scored in the 95-97% for all subjects. These included Biology, General and Organic Chemistry, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and Perceptual Ability. My experience within dentistry is extensive because I have over 400 hours of shadowing both general dentistry and some of the specialties, but also because I have volunteered at several dental clinics both within the U.S. and abroad. I am therefore qualified to prepare other hopefuls for the Dental Admissions Test, as well as to help them prepare fo [more]

Russia hopes its hosting of the 2018 World Cup will dispel negative stereotypes about the country by showcasing modern stadiums and transport networks, the head of the Russian organizing committee said.
The country is hosting the World Cup in a hugely ambitious project championed by Russian President Vladimir Putin costing US$20 billion that will include host cities from the Baltic Sea to the Ural Mountains.
Yet organizing committee chief Alexei Sorokin told the Sport Express newspaper that Russia still had to disprove stereotypes which the country inherited from its Soviet past.
He said that the successful hosting of the 2012 European soccer championship by ex-Soviet Ukraine will likely help Russia.
"Russia still suffers from the negative stereotypes from the past and we need to disprove this," he said. "We need to disprove it in reality not just in words.
"The Euro 2012 co-hosts Ukraine's image also suffered from the rumors. The ill-wishers said that Ukraine is a dangerous country with extraordinary high prices and urged people not to visit Ukraine's part of the event," Sorokin said. "We must pursue a preemptive tactic and do our best to avoid such claims."
Sorokin said that he expected no problems with accommodation of the participating teams and their supporters during the World Cup.
"We also have a favorable forecast about the fans' accommodation as the private business showed serious interest," he added.
However, Sorokin said that the organizers should never rest on their laurels as there was a lot of hard work remaining.
Not only stadiums, but new airports, hotels and roads need to be built in several provincial cities which until now have seen only a trickle of visitors and are almost unknown to the outside world.
As well as the well-known cities of Moscow and St Petersburg, the World Cup will see games played in far-flung locations like the exclave of Kaliningrad on the Baltic, Saransk in little-known Mordovia and Yekaterinburg in the Urals.
"We should have the most modern venues by 2018 ... This is a very hard task, but we have no other choice but to fulfill it," he said.
Sorokin said FIFA representatives have not issued a single complaint on the organizing committee's work so far.
"The FIFA representatives are visiting us so often that I have a feeling that they live here on a permanent basis," Sorokin said. "Neither the president nor the secretary-general of this organization have issued a single unfavorable comment upon our activity."
The organizing committee chief added that though England was furious after losing the race for the right to host the 2018 World Cup, hard feelings had given way to cooperation as top British officials showed their intention to cooperate with the Russian organizers.
"We recently had a very productive meeting with the British sports minister and ambassador in Russia. We have confirmed our joint intention to be on friendly terms and cooperate," he said.
Russia was awarded the right to host the World Cup in December 2010 in a controversial decision which was bitterly criticized by beaten rivals, including England, as tainted by corruption.
Sorokin also said that though the country's railways failed to receive the budget funding to build a a high-speed train from Moscow to the most easterly World Cup host city, Yekaterinburg, it would hardly become a serious problem for the organizers.

"People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway."

10 must have Nexus 7 apps
Google set the world on fire when it announced its Jelly Bean powered tablet the Nexus 7. The Android slate has been incredibly successful due to it being priced at a $200 bargain (8GB model).
The device sports some impressive features that is supported by some more than decent apps. Take a tour with us as we list 10 of our must have Nexus 7 apps.
Plume (Twitter)
One of the flaws that has always haunted Android tablets, is the lack of a really good Twitter application. Most Twitter clients are just over stretched versions of the phone application, which cheapens the tablet experience.
Thankfully, Plume has righted that wrong. The third-party Twitter application provides a native looking experience that incorporates Google's Holo theme quite well. When it comes to the user interface, actions are presented in a way that's much more convenient. Plume's functionality reminds me a lot of the old Tweetdeck, where you have tweets, mentions, and direct message columns all pulled up on the front page. In addition, a hidden sidebar can be accessed by swiping to the right.
Download Plume here
The Pinterest app on the Nexus 7 is dope. You really get to see why the application is better suited for tablets. The functionality is simple; swipe to the left to see your profile or slide to the right and pick between a list of photo categories such as Geek, Design, Art, Technology, etc.
If you love looking at photos, then it makes all the sense in the world for you to have Pinterest on your Nexus 7 tablet.
Download Pinterest here
Angry Birds Space
Seriously, what more can I say about Angry Birds that hasn't been said already? It's no accident that this application has become the most successful game in history — the game is insanely addictive.
Angry Birds Space looks awesome on the Nexus 7, as the folks over at Rovio made sure it didn't put out a half-baked experience. The app is everything you'd expect on a phone, but more with 7-inch screen support. Plus, the Nexus 7′s Tegra 3 processor is more than enough to handle the game play and visuals.
Download Angry Birds Space here
Wow. That is what I said when I used the WordPress app. Now don't be confused as my shock didn't come from stunning visuals, but from usability. I didn't expect to see an app that was optimized for the 7-inch Nexus tablet, instead I expected to see the usual clumsy design and functionality issues I've seen in the past.
But, to my surprise, WordPress put in a better effort in making its mobile application fit the Nexus 7. There's no new earth shattering features, users will see the same options like new post, quick video, pages, stats, etc.
I found that the view post in the browser feature wasn't working for me for some reason. Maybe this could be due to a bug that can be addressed in another update.
Download WordPress here
Skype is the unquestioned leader when it comes to video chatting, that's why Microsoft found it in its best interest to buy the popular VoIP company.
The app fits the Nexus 7 screen just right. When you hit the Call phones option it opens a dialer that blankets the entire screen. And just like the smartphone version of the app, Skype integrates with all your contacts on your tab.
Download Skype here
This application was made to be on the Nexus 7 tablet. Google+ has a beautiful magazine-like layout featured prominently throughout its user interface.
Google put a huge emphasis on high-resolution photos in your news stream, while making things much improved for you and your friends. For me, I've found that Google+ provides a more enjoyable social experience then the drama filled pool known as Facebook.
Download Google+ here
Google Drive
This is the perfect application for those who like to get work done on the go. With the standard Nexus 7 offering up only 8 GB of storage, users will have to be conservative when it comes to adding content due to memory limitations.
Google Drive (formally known as Google Docs) brings a lot to the table. The application not only acts like other popular cloud storage services (Box.net, SugerSync, Dropbox, etc) allotting users a free 5 GB of memory, but it carries the duties of creating and editing documents. Even though the app is missing some features (like adding hyperlinks), I still believe its functional enough to do simple word processing. Hell, I wrote most of this feature using the app on my Nexus 7 tablet.
Download Google Drive here
Admittedly, I'm not the biggest gamer, but like Angry Birds Space I grew attached to this game because of its fun nature.
Cordy is a puzzle platform game that stars a little robot that can run, jump, hover, etc. The graphics and visuals are stunning, as the Tegra 3 processor really displays its power and fluency. The game cleverly hooks you in with four free and easy levels, but once you complete those levels you'll have to purchase the premium version of the app for $4.99.
Download Cordy here
textPlus Free Text + Calls
If you're the type who likes to turn your tablet into a phone, then this is the app for you. textPlus does exactly what's advertised, which allows users the ability to text and call people for free.
There's a bit of a catch though. The application offers free unlimited texting to any mobile phone, so users are free to message a person who isn't signed up to textPlus network. As for phone calls, the application only provides some free trial minutes to call those without a textPlus number. I did a test call and I found the service work just fine.
The app automatically syncs your Gmail contacts, and it gives the option of linking up your Facebook contacts as well. This is a well dressed VoIP application for the 7-inch tablet experience, it gives the Google Voice app something to look forward to.
Download textPlus Free Text + Calls here
If there's any application out there more designed for a tablet, it's definitely Flipboard. For those of you not familiar with the application, allow me to enlighten you.
Flipboard is a wildly popular reader app that grabs news from all of the most talked about articles from well known sites around the web. The app brings an innovative way to flip pages, as users move through the app flipping their finger in an upward motion. You can share articles through all the top social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn and more.
Download Flipboard here
I'm sure I missed plenty of applications out there, so if you have any on your list feel free to share them below in the comment box.
