Sugar Free Trident Vitality Awakens, Invigorates And Rejuvenates
Kraft Foods Inc.'s Cadbury unit, Parsippany, N.J., rolls out sugar-free Trident Vitality, three blends of sophisticated flavors and inspired ingredients, each with its own twist.
The feel-good flavors -- Vigorate, Rejuve and Awaken -- add a little piece of delicious well-being to the gum-chewing experience, with vitamin C, ginseng or white tea infused into each pellet-sized piece. Targeted primarily to 25-34-year-olds, Trident Vitality marks the first offering in the Trident gum family to incorporate the unique array of new flavor ingredients Vigorate is a burst of citrus and strawberry with vitamin C (one piece contains 10 percent of the DV of vitamin C). Rejuve is a refreshing blend of mint and white tea. Awaken has peppy peppermint with a dash of ginseng.
"Based on research, we found many consumers were looking for unique, new flavors that fit with their wellness lifestyle," says Kelly Bivens, Trident brand manager. "We always try to respond to consumers needs, and so far the response has been terrific. Vitality has tested as one of our best-tasting gums to date, and we are very excited to bring it to our consumers nationwide."
Trident Vitality incorporates sleek and stylish packaging that features a "click" when opened or closed. The packaging is a full box with a blister pack inside, although the box closes to ensure the blister pack does not slip out. This is unlike traditional blister packaging, which is cut open on both sides.
Suggested retail price is $1.29 for a single-pack and $2.89 for a three-pack.

A treatment for hepatitis C which is potentially more effective and quicker than other therapies has been given the green light by the European Commission.
With the EC's approval for marketing of the drug sofosbuvir, a once daily inhibitor, "many more patients are offered the opportunity of a cure", according to the makers Gilead Sciences.
"It is a game changer," said Professor Mark Thursz, a professor of hepatology at Imperial College and consultant in hepatology.
"We have been following the development of this drug for the past few years, looking at the trial data and getting very excited. For me the excitement is about what it can do for patients.
"There are patients we can now treat."
The approval means sofosbuvir 400mg tablets can be marketed in all 28 EU countries. Sofosbuvir is described as a nucleotide analogue inhibitor.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) in Britain is reviewing the product for its cost effectiveness, which could pave the way for it to be used for both private and NHS patients.
Tests have shown that sofosbuvir, when used with established treatments such as the peg-interferon (peg-IFN) injection and the Ribavirin (RBV) tablet, offers high cure rates of up to 90% in previously untreated adult patients.
It can be used on adults who are suffering from any of the six variations "without adding any significant side effects but adding to the efficacy and shortening the time of treatment", Prof Thursz said. Previous treatments and how developed the illness has become would be key factors that have to be taken into account.
Patients can suffer flu-like symptoms when taking peg-IFN along with aches and pains, temperatures, suppression of bone marrow, rashes, diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort while tiredness and anaemia are possible side effects of RBV.
This second generation of direct acting antivirals is "in a different class because of its incredible potency", according to Prof Thursz.
He said that "the success rates we are expecting is about 80-90%" whereas just two years ago it was about 40% for some forms of the disease meaning "we have doubled the success rate, in two steps in two years".
Hepatitis C is estimated to affect 215,000 adults in the UK, according to Health Protection Agency figures from 2013, and it is a major cause of liver cancer and liver transplantation.
The current standard of care for hepatitis C involves up to 48 weeks of therapy using a peg-IFN/RBV regime, which may not be suitable for certain types of patient.
Many patients are ineligible, unwilling or intolerant to standard treatments to try and cure hepatitis C but there may be hope for more patients with the proposed shorter 12 week course of new treatment that may offer 90% efficacy, according to Gilead Sciences.
Dr Graham Foster, professor of hepatology, Queen Mary University of London, said: "Unlike many chronic diseases, hepatitis C can be cured. For many hepatitis C patients, however, for a number of reasons, many hepatitis C patients have not currently achieved a cure and often progress to end-stage liver disease or liver cancer.
"With high cure rates across a broad range of patients and a short duration of therapy, sofosbuvir is a very welcome therapeutic advance that will increase the number of patients who can be treated and ultimately cured."

With the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's qualified mortgage rule now in place, the private label market awaits the release of the federal regulators' Qualified Mortgage Rule.
The shape of QRM will determine if the nation can sustain a healthy securitization market, consumer discretionary analyst Jon Woloshin at UBS (UBS) said.
"We don't know where that stands, and we certainly hope that we'll get clarity on that. But as we noted, the balance for regulators is the balance of keeping skin in the game and not putting access risk on, versus making the QRM rule so stringent that it basically shuts out people willing to securitize mortgages," he said.
The QRM standard is a potential subset of the QM rule, with QM linking both together. Woloshin notes the terms in QRM cannot be any more liberal than what is defined in the QM rule.
However, if QRM is more restrictive than the QM rule, certain qualified mortgages that do not meet the QRM standards will have to comply with the risk-retention guidelines and keep an actual stake in the loans sold off into securitization, executive vice president Bob Davis of the American Bankers Association said.
"Our view from the very beginning is that once you establish properly the QM definition, those loans within that definition are not going to have the risk characteristics that lead to consumer default," he said. "Once you have QM properly defined, there's no reason to have a QRM more restricted than what's in QM. So our position is, there should be no difference between QRM and QM."
In regards to the qualified-mortgage rule, Davis said QM is going to result in a much homogenous pool of mortgages to go into securities, which will be true whether they're going through government-related programs such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or if the private-label market develops and takes off.
"So that is good from a stand point of investors because more information will be available about the loans pools, which are coming from market practice and regulation going forward," he said.
However, a looming risk for investors in regards to the QM rule is the cap on origination fees of 3%. This would make it very difficult for the mortgage broker at the expense of the larger underwriter – basically doubling fees, Woloshin noted.
Similarly, global securitized products strategist Vishwanath Tirupattur at Morgan Stanley said while the QM rule is mainly positive, one issue analysts raised concerns about was the 3% cap on total mortgage fees as well as higher costs on due diligence, resulting in 'higher costs on lending.'
Another concern Morgan Stanley analysts addressed is the QM rule's distinction between a loan that has a safe-harbor from future ability-to-repay litigation and the rebuttable presumption standard. Morgan Stanley believes the rebuttable presumption standard is less-than-ideal in its current form.
The safe-harbor standard applies to lower-risk loans that meet all of the QM requirements.
The second-type of QM comes with a rebuttable presumption of safe lending and applies to higher-cost loans. This loan type is presumed safe for the most part, but can still be challenged on narrow grounds in court later on.
"Under the CFPB's final ability-to-repay rule, a qualified mortgage that is not a higher-priced loan will be entitled to safe harbor, and a qualified mortgage that is a higher-priced loan will be entitled to only a rebuttable presumption of compliance. As a result, the market for higher-priced mortgage loans may be limited, at least initially," Ballard Spahr noted.

Early Morning High-Speed Chase in Lincoln County
South Dakota law enforcement was notified early Wednesday morning of a vehicle traveling north bound in the south bound lane of I-29, near the Lennox-Parker exit.
When law enforcement tried to pull the vehicle over, a chase ensued reaching speeds of over 85 mph. Then, according to the Tea Storm Chasers, the suspect, an adult male, dialed 9-1-1 and told the dispatcher he was being chased and feared for his safety.
After a half hour pursuit, the vehicle was finally stopped when the highway patrol spiked the vehicle's tires.
The vehicle was reported to be a white Lincoln Town car, with dealer plates.

Derek Boe of Fort Pierre, Accused of Shooting at Car, Gets Prison
PIERRE - A Fort Pierre man has been sentenced to prison for a variety of charges stemming from shooting at an occupied vehicle.
Attorney General Marty Jackley announced Tuesday that Derek Boe was sentenced to 20 years in prison for aggravated assault, 20 years for firing a firearm into an occupied vehicle and five years for possessing a firearm as a felon. The sentences will be served concurrently.
Authorities say Boe shot inside a vehicle that his girlfriend occupied in January 2012.
A jury earlier found Boe not guilty to attempted murder.
Boe was also sentenced to five years in prison for possessing methamphetamine while out on bond in August 2012. That sentence will be served consecutively to the others.

Inventors begin building gadgets and mechanisms as young children, and never really
stop, though as adults they will turn their inventiveness to many kinds of organizations, social as well as mechanical.
There aren't many Inventors, say about two percent of the population, but they have great impact on our everyday lives.
With their innovative, entrepreneurial spirit, Inventors are always on the lookout for a better way, always eyeing new
projects, new enterprises, new processes. Always aiming to "build a better mousetrap."Inventors are keenly pragmatic,
and often become expert at devising the most effective means to accomplish their ends. They are the most reluctant of
all the types to do things in a particular manner just because that's the way they have been done. As a result, they
often bring fresh, new approaches to their work and play. They are intensely curious and continuously probe for possibilities,
especially when trying to solve complex problems. Inventors are filled with ideas, but value ideas only when they make
possible actions and objects. Thus they see product design not as an end in itself, but as a means to an end, as a way of
devising the prototype that works and that can be brought to market. Inventors are confident in their pragmatism, counting
on their ability to find effective ways and means when they need them, rather than making a detailed blueprint in advance.
A rough idea is all they need to feel ready to proceed into action.
Inventors often have a lively circle of friends and are interested in their ideas and activities. They are usually
easy-going, seldom critical or carping. Inventors can be engaging conversationalists, able to express their own
complicated ideas and to follow the ideas of others. When arguing issues, however, they may deliberately employ
debate skills to the serious disadvantage of their opponents.
Inventors are usually non-conformists in the workplace, and can succeed in many areas as long as the job does
not involve too much humdrum routine. They make good leaders on pilot projects that test their ingenuity. And they
are skilled at engineering human relationships and human systems, quickly grasping the politics of institutions and
always wanting to understand the people within the system rather than tell them what to do. No matter what their
occupation, however, Inventors display an extraordinary talent for rising to the demands of even the most impossible
situations. "It can't be done" is a challenge to an Inventor and elicits a reaction of "I can do it."

Extending Java with BEA WebLogic for Linux
Implementing an Enterprise-Quality App Server Under Linux
No application server on the market supports Java better than BEA Systems' WebLogic Server. With advanced support for Java Server Pages (JSP), Java Messaging Services, in-memory servlets session-state management, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB; both session and entity beans), and new clustering technology, BEA Systems' WebLogic application server is a leader in the application server space. It goes above and beyond most of its competitors in terms of Java-oriented features and reliability�particularly in areas of great importance to enterprises.
This emphasis on reliability extends to the entire architecture. While other application servers offer load-balancing, failover and fault tolerance, BEA WebLogic Server 4.5.1 offers these technologies for both Web pages and EJB components. (Most application servers offer these technologies only for Web pages.) While these items may seem obscure on the surface, on a practical level they are vital for mission-critical applications.
As an important example, consider an enterprise that sets up an e-commerce application using a "shopping cart" to process orders and receive credit-card data. When a user gets to the "check out," it is very undesireable for the application server to fail. With WebLogic, transparent replication and failover means that another application server in the cluster is ready to finish the transaction; load balancing means that the WebLogic server will not be overwhelmed�the excess demand will be sent to a less-busy server. BEA uses a load-balancing algorithm to ensure that the load is truly balanced, as opposed to round-robin load-balancing (used by lesser application servers), which merely shuffles requests rather than analyzing where best to send them.
WebLogic Server's EJB clustering�which is not actually part of the server, but rather is an option purchased separately�goes a step further and maintains a transparent connection for stateful EJB objects even when the server goes down. Transactions can be recovered immediately on another server in the cluster. Again, the end result means that an EJB object will never crash and cause pain for the user or the system.
This clustering technology makes WebLogic one of the most scaleable application servers available. When an enterprise's site is a huge success and is processing a large number of transactions (leading to stress on the system), adding more servers and managing them from one centralized position can be done readily, without recoding Java applications.
The Java emphasis, however, does not mean WebLogic is totally immune to the realities of the marketplace, particularly when it comes to supporting Microsoft technologies. WebLogic now supports COM+ objects (moving beyond merely Common Object Request Broker Architecture�CORBA�support), although it does so by wrapping these objects in Java. Similarly, WebLogic supports COM+ bindings for Java and EJB objects. Although the support could be far more transparent, COM and CORBA support is still fairly unique in the application server space.
Obviously, only larger enterprises will have the wherewithal in terms of resources and finances to implement a cluster with a constantly high level of redundancy. Therefore, BEA WebLogic 4.5.1 is best-suited for the enterprise where its $10,000 price tag won't raise eyebrows. However, BEA Systems now ships WebLogic in three different tiers: Server, Enterprise, and Express, with Linux supported only on the Server release. Enterprises will want to match the capabilities of each level to their needs, but even at the lowest level, WebLogic on a Linux platform is still a tool best suited to Fortune 500 company environments.
Also, be warned that WebLogic Server Release 4.5.1 is certified and supported by BEA only on Red Hat Linux using the IBM Linux JVM 1.1.8. (The reason? The IBM JVM uses native threads.) While we didn�t encounter any problems installing and using WebLogic Server on a Slackware Linux 7 system, we wouldn't recommend going against the BEA guidelines for a production-grade installation.

Mark Spitznagel is an accomplished trader and hedge fund manager who has learned to take advantage of market distortions he blames on an overly involved Federal Reserve and government, while preparing for the consequences of those distortions. Instead of fighting what he knows is an illogical distorted market he has learned to ride those irrational markets while preparing for the inevitable snap back, where he then can profit in an exponential fashion through the perfecting of tail hedging strategies.
However, his book "The Dao of Capital: Austrian Investing in a Distorted World" is not an explanation of his trading strategy but an in-depth study of economics and human nature, the inevitable result of which is the philosophy of building a successful enterprise through the understanding of the roundabout, and learning to delay gratification to gain an advantage down the road. He does it through the study of Austrian economics and the application of the roundabout method of investing.
Spitznagel could have simply have written that investors need patience and must avoid the temptation of the quick profit; that building a successful strategy, and life, involves a longer-term approach foregoing instant gratification; that establishing a solid foundation while appearing not to create progress puts you in position for much greater success later on. He did not do that. Instead, he takes you on a tour of history and nature that illuminates these long held truths. Just as the technical trader delves into cycle analysis and Fibonacci numbers, Spitznagel illustrates how these truths are imbedded in history and nature and are not just platitudes to throw around. In the end his message is simple, but by providing the historical underpinnings he brings them to life in a much more vibrant way.
He travels a long way to come to a pretty simple message. It is through his vast research and study that he shows that this message, though simple, is essential. He has documented how it has been so throughout history.
Futures Magazine: Your book cites some of the most accomplished economists, military and historical figures as inspiration but at the top of your list is an old grain trader and family friend Everett Klipp. Why?
Mark Spitznagel: He was a close family friend, very close to my dad. I caught the [trading] bug from him early on and he said simply 'to be successful you have to love to lose.' Even at the [Chicago] Board of Trade, it is not like pit traders do this. But when I was 14 I thought that's what trading was. This is the discipline of trading, loving to lose and nothing about winning.
I immersed myself in it and became obsessed with the grain markets. Through high school and even through college, I wanted to be a corn trader. I clerked for many summers in the grain [room] and ultimately the bond [room]. It slowly became obvious that is where someone's got to be.

Iron Man 3
Calling 'Iron Man 3' a mixed bag doesn't really do justice to the heady peaks and interminable troughs in this scrappy but overwhelmingly likeable superhero sequel. In the minus column, there's the tedious, talky first act, the script's uneasy attempts at psychological realism, Gwyneth Paltrow's increasingly shrill and redundant Pepper Potts and Robert Downey Jr's disastrously smarmy, David Gest-like facial furniture. But they're balanced out by a handful of punchy one-liners courtesy of 'Lethal Weapon' scribe Shane Black, a loveable old-school, Joe Dante-ish small-town-USA central section, and a sprawling cast of reliable supporting players including Rebecca Hall, Guy Pearce, Miguel Ferrer and the great William Sadler. Towering above them all is Ben Kingsley as one of comic book cinema's most astonishing and unlikely supervillains.
We find Tony Stark (Downey Jr) languishing in the doldrums, scarred by his experiences with the alien-battling Avengers and throwing himself into work at the expense of relationships and sleep. What's worse, there's a terrorist on the loose: mystery man the Mandarin (Kingsley), bent on global annihilation. After an ill-advised public throwdown followed by a helicopter attack on his plush seafront palace, Tony heads for Tennessee on the trail of a seemingly suicidal ex-soldier, and quickly learns that nothing here is at it seems…
Despite his unimpeachable screenwriting CV, this is only Black's second film as a director (his first, 2005's gloriously foul-mouthed crime thriller 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang', also starred Downey Jr) and it shows. When he's in his element Black delivers the goods in style, as in the scenes between Downey Jr and his temporary pre-pubescent sidekick, Harley (Ty Simpkins), or a hilarious mid-film switcheroo which may prove the summer season's most jawdroppingly memorable moment. But he seems out of his depth during the larger set pieces: the action sequences are busy and confusing, especially the misjudged, threat-free climax.
The result is a film which never settles into a comfortable groove. It tries to be an angsty 'Dark Knight'-style game changer, an '80's-throwback action romp, a nudge-wink pastiche and a CG-fuelled spectacular. It's undeniably entertaining – and worth seeing for Kingsley alone – with the misfires never fully overshadowing the moments of glory. But in the wake of the triumph of 'The Avengers', 'Iron Man 3' still feels like something of a disappointment.

Brilliant retelling of the Extremis arc, one for the fans but a bit long winded in the middle
Fun super-hero actioner which never takes its self too seriously. Kingsley is a riot. For my money, the best of the three. Three and a half stars.
by far the best of the 3 and possibly the last Ironman only film, non-stop action, fantastic CGI and best in 3-D

3 star? NO WAY! This is a big, hearty, FUNNY blocko............and yes, I AM IRON MAN! 8+
Lots of metal on metal cgi making it feel more like Transformers with an all other place storyline. Franchise seems to have lost its way somewhat so maybe its time to stop here while they are ahead. But your ears will be ringing by the end of the film if you like noise, metal on metal and cheesy dialogue
The review has it totally right. The film moves from peaks to troughs, it has a number of superb one liners and yes Ben Kingsley is almost worth the entry price on his own. However there are disappointments such as the under developed and rather naiive back story to how Pierce's and Hall's characters become the bad guy / girl. I liked the humour around the rebranding of Cheadle's character it was so politically correct and typically American. All in all time to call a halt to what is a story line that has run its course. 3 stars good but not great.
"I am Iron Man!" Yeah, you're right, Tone! But you have to wear the suit to be him. That's what he did throughout most of the film: jumping around armorless, hanging out with a kid, or doing some simulation tests. And what a pitifully under-used Ben Kingsley - what a waste! A one-dimensional villian in Guy Pearce applying his pyro-blooded self onto our hapless hero. Marvel are showing signs of falling into a pit of their own successes. Shame they could not have ended on a high note with 'The Avengers' - but hey, that's the movie business! The future doesn't look too bright for 'The Wolverine' or 'Captain America'
shut up. the movie has a lot of plot holes
I saw it. It wasn't bad like Iron Man 2, but it definitely didn't recapture the magic of Iron Man 1. Some very questionably decisions story-wise and as good as his performance was, Ben Kinsley's Mandarin is nebulous at best. 2.5/5
trailer looks EPIC. promises to have alot of new iron man tech inventions. and film ideas nobody saw coming. cant wait for the cinema to play it ill be there watching it opening day

I discovered recently that to make my code postings look nice in Drupal, I needed to install the Code Filter module. Now when I enclose my code in <code> </code> tags, it comes out nicely formatted:
//here are some comments
//with "code" formatting
$some_variable = 123;
echo "some text";
I've noticed that some of my websites get a disproportionate number of visitors from Canada, even though they are not targeted at Canadians, and have generic top level domains (.net, .com). I think this may be because Google sees from my server's ip address that it's located in Canada, so Google ranks my sites higher on Google.ca. I'm trying an experiment to see if I can take advantage of this.
Drupal is an open source content management system (CMS) for websites.
What does that mean? Basically a CMS is the software that powers a website (such as this one). In the early days of the world wide web, website content existed mainly as static HTML text files on web connected computers. (HTML stands for "HyperText Markup Language", and it consists of tags embedded in a text file that tell a web browser how to display the text, and what files the links lead to). The URL of the page was the computer (domain) name, followed by the directory and file name of the text file (usually ending in .html or .htm to indicate an HTML file). When a user entered a navigated to a URL with a browser, the browser opened the file and displayed the content.
I want to give Google and other search engines some links to CheapFlightSpy.com to crawl, but I don't want to have the whole list reapeated on every page of this site. Instead, I wrote a small php snippet to put a different link on each node page.
In case you arrived at this site randomly, or by following an out-of-date link, you might be wondering "what the hell are PHP, Drupal, and the Web, and where's the Moxie.ca site about/for Canadian women?"
For the CheapFlightSpy.com website, I want to display some text about the departure or destination city in a block (hopefully this will help with SEO). To do this, I created a content type called "citylinks", with a field called "iata" (using the CCK module) for the IATA airport code. The blurb about the city is in the body section of the node. The idea is that when somebody executes a flight search, for example, for flights from Vancouver, I'll find the citylinks content with iata=YVR (the airport code for Vancouver) and display the Vancouver blurb in a block on the flight search results page.
Welcome to my blog Moxie.ca!
In this blog I'm going to record the various tips and tricks I learn about website development using the Drupal content management platform, and PHP programming. Hopefully it will be a useful resource for other web developers (not to mention myself when I forget how I did something a few months down the road).
Right now I'm working on a travel website called CheapFlightSpy.com, so you'll see lots of references to that.

Citywire launched its fund manager ratings more than 10 years ago and is the only firm to exclusively rate managers, not funds. We do this because we strongly believe that the track record of the fund manager is the most important consideration when selecting an actively managed fund because:
- Fund managers move about frequently. So a fund's performance may have been generated by someone who is no longer there. Our unique career database, which takes account of fund managers' career moves and sabbaticals, will tell you if their replacement is any good.
- Citywire Fund Manager Ratings measure performance across all the funds run by a given manager.
- The ratings provide a clear evaluation of a manager's performance against their direct competitors. As less than 25% of all active fund managers achieve a Citywire rating, you can be sure that those adding value are being identified.
How do the ratings work?
The manager's track record is scrutinised with a methodology approved by an independent actuary. The ratings take account of a three-year performance record and is updated every month.
It is entirely quantitative and our analysis is based on the information ratio, a recognised measure of risk-adjusted performance. However, we call it the Citywire Manager Ratio as it takes into account career moves and all the funds a manager runs.
We cover the whole market meaning every manager is eligible for a rating and investors can have confidence in the objectivity of our ratings. Citywire currently tracks more than 15,000 fund managers in 41 countries across more than 240 investment sectors.
When calculating performance, all annual or ongoing fund charges are taken into account although we assume there is no initial fee on purchase.
How are the ratings assigned?
In order to be rated, a fund manager will need to beat his or her benchmark over a three-year period. A benchmark is often the relevant stock market index.
Fewer than 25% of fund managers we track actually achieve this, and managers in this select group will either receive a Citywire+, A, AA, or the top AAA rating.
The four ratings bands are assigned in the following way:
- the top 10% of managers in this elite group will gain the highest AAA rating
- the next 20% will be awarded the AA rating
- the following 30% will get a single A rating
- and the remaining 40% will gain a Citywire + rating.
Each Citywire rated fund manager will have one universal rating, reflecting the performance on every fund he or she runs across the 41 countries in our database.
How about absolute return style funds?
We judge fund managers running absolute return funds in a slightly different way. We group them into 15 peer groups, featuring those running bond and mixed asset funds, as well as Alternative Ucits strategies, which use shorting as part of their investment process.
We judge these fund managers on their ability to:
- Beat cash returns by 2% over three years;
- Control losses (maximum drawdown – their highest loss from peak to trough - can't be 50% higher than peer group average);
- and generate strong risk adjusted performance over three years
Fund managers who meet these criteria will then be allocated one of four ratings, depending on their risk-adjusted performance.
- the top 10% of managers will gain the highest AAA rating;
- the next 20% of managers will be awarded the AA rating;
- the following 30% will get a single A rating;
- and the remaining 40% will gain a Citywire + rating
Managers may run funds that are assessed on this methodology but also run others that come under our traditional ratings system. In those cases, they will be assessed for separate ratings.
How do you rank fund managers?
Citywire Fund Manager Rankings calculate the total percentage returns generated by individual fund managers in a sector and show which funds they are currently managing. Their performance versus their peers can be analysed over various time periods based on the following methodology:
- When one fund manager runs two or more funds, concurrently within the same unit trust sector, a monthly average is calculated across these funds.
- When a fund manager has a 'career break' there is no monthly return figure in the analysis. However, once that manager resumes managing a fund in the same sector, we substitute the average performance of all managers in that sector for the missing months. So the longer a fund manager is inactive, the more average he or she may look.
- A fund manager has to be currently active, as well as being active at the beginning, or before, the period under review.
- Joint managers are treated as being equally responsible for a fund's performance.
How many people at Citywire work on the ratings?
The Citywire Fund Manager Ratings and Rankings are supported by a team of 11 people handling all aspects of data collection and investment research. In addition, our technology team has two quant analysts to help create bespoke performance reports.
I'm only interested in long-term performance. How do your ratings help me?
A long-term view is clearly very important, but as fund managers move from one company to another or take on new funds, a focus on the individual is also important. Citywire's online fund manager factsheets give you access to deeper performance analysis alongside a manager's fund manager rating track record.
Are you paid for rating fund managers?
No, we are independent and are not paid to consider a fund manager in our ratings. As long as a manager's fund is registered in a country we look at, and sits in one of the 240 sectors we cover, he or she will automatically be part of our analysis. If a manager achieves a rating, the relevant asset management group pays us a licensing fee to use the rating for marketing purposes.

BRIDPORT — Monday's season-opening legislative breakfast in Bridport offered a preview of two emotional debates on personal freedom that could play out on a grander scale this spring in the Statehouse.
At issue: Should families be given broader rights to have their children opt-out of vaccines designed to protect them from deadly diseases, and should terminally ill people be allowed to opt-in to a proposal that would allow them to take their own lives under medical supervision.
MIDDLEBURY — At the same time that state lawmakers are trying to revamp the system by which Vermonters recover from illnesses, a group of citizens is urging the Vermont Legislature to allow terminally sick people the right to forgo treatment and end their own lives.
MIDDLEBURY — Nancy Valko was tired of living in the prison that Lou Gehrig's Disease had made of her once vibrant body.
So on a sunny April 19, 2009, the former Middlebury resident took one last wheelchair ride through her favorite park, had a piece of berry pie, bade farewell to her beloved friends and family, and went out into her backyard to draw her last breath.

Currently we are looking for a few new concept artists, modellers and level designers and are excited to speak with anyone that has a passion for their work! Game Overview: Paradise Lost is a Post-Apocalyptic first person shooter based roughly 80 years in the future involving three hostile races. The Aliens, the last of what was a peaceful and evolved race, were brought here by a human technological mishap; their goals to terra-form their new and only home in order to prevent their races extinction. The savage Hybrids, Engineered Bio-Mechanical freaks created by the humans to wage a war against the aliens, have recently revolted against the disposable role unto which they have been enslaved into by the humans. Made insane with rage and hatred for their creators their sole drive is to exact revenge on the human race for the tens of thousands of their people who were sent to their unwilling deaths. That leaves us with the all too familiar humans, having lost their planet due to their own ignorance and aggression they struggle to rebuild their race from the safety of a converted lunar mining colony. Desperately trying to avoid falling back into their old habits which brought them their current situation they clearly demonstrate that old habits are hard to kick. We have a considerable database of Concept work already done but are looking forward to new members who can come on board and lend their talent to the project, the links below are a few examples of the artistic direction we have begun to take. We are currently putting the finishing touches on a demo as a proof of concept of the company which we are taking overseas to Europe as our company is going Public in North America and Europe to raise capital for the next phase of development!

NEW YORK — Unemployed job seekers would be protected against discrimination under a bill approved by the City Council.
The bill prohibits employers from discriminating against unemployed job applicants through their hiring practices and bans "help wanted" advertisements that stipulate job seekers must be employed. The Council passed the legislation 44-to-4 on Wednesday.
Supporters of the bill called it the strongest of its kind in the nation, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it was "one of the most misguided pieces of legislation" that had come before him and said it would likely lead to a spate of lawsuits.
Job seekers could sue in court under the legislation, making it unique among jurisdictions around the country that have similar laws. Applicants could also complain to the city's Commission on Human Rights.
Bloomberg, who said he would veto the bill, said the legislation would "damage lots of small businesses."
"What the bill does is it says if you have been unemployed for a period and you don't get a job you apply for, then you can sue the employer arguing that they were illegally discriminating against you," he said. "I can't think of any rational employer who wouldn't want to know what you've been doing for a period of time."
Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who proposed the bill in her State of the City address last year, said she has the votes to override the veto. "That will not be an issue," she said. "This is a piece of legislation that says you can't discrimnate against people who are unemployed."
The Council has overridden 19 mayoral vetoes since 2009.
Supporters of the unemployment discrimination bill, which was introduced last March, say it is badly needed because the jobless rate in the city remains above the national average and because it is also taking longer for the unemployed to find jobs. They also said examples of employers taking employment status into account were brought to their attention during the economic malaise of the past few years. The bill would also prohibit such actions.
"You can't simply say, 'Don't come here I won't hire you because you are unemployed, which is exactly what is happening, and is wrong, and is really putting people in a situation where they're going to be trapped in a box of unemployment potentially forever. And that's just wrong," Quinn said in remarks before Wednesday's vote.
Supporters of the bill include the National Employment Law Project and the Community Service Society of New York.
"For certain groups, having this legislation in place is really important to make sure there are no barriers that would have a disproportionate impact on getting back into the labor market," said Michelle Holder, a senior labor market analyst who has studied unemployment trends in the city.
In an analysis published in August 2012 and based on data from the U.S. Census, Holder found that New Yorkers were out of work an average of 41 weeks in the previous year.
At a June 2012 committee hearing on the bill, a mayoral aide outlined several objections to the bill.
"Adding this category blurs the line between irrational discrimination, which the Human Rights law is supposed to address, and more complicated employment decision-making processes that can legitimately rely on multiple factors," said Bill Heinzen, deputy counselor to the mayor, in his testimony. "Unlike other bases for discrimination … a person's unemployment status may, in certain situations, be relevant to employers when selecting qualified employees."
Other jurisdictions have passed similar unemployment discrimination laws, including New Jersey and Oregon. President Barack Obama proposed banning discrimination against the jobless in 2011.
Council Passes Campaign Finance, Gas Station Signage Bills
The Council passed a bill Wednesday that would deregulate certain disclosure requirements by outside membership organizations that spend money on behalf of candidates.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has said he would veto the bill, is joined in his opposition of the legislation by the city's Campaign Finance Board.
"Disclosure of money is fundamental to the democratic process," said Amy Loprest, executive director of the NYCCFB, at a hearing on Jan. 15. "A campaign message is a campaign message, no matter where or to which audience it is aimed."
Currently, organizations have to report as independent expenditures member-to-member mailings of 500-plus pieces that discuss candidates. Speaker Christine Quinn said she is worried that this will have a "chilling effect" on these groups during the 2013 election.
At a press conference just before the bill's passage, she said that present regulations "limited membership organization's involvement in the civic process, limited their involvement in talking to their members."
With the passage of the bill, she said that "we're in a place where membership organizations can do what we want them to do — engage in the political process."
When asked if she had enough votes to override the mayor's veto, she responded with commanding optimism. "You can rest assured that I'll never let a veto stand," she said.
The Council also passed a bill that would stipulate that gas stations have road signs that advertise the total selling price of gas.
In remarks before the vote, Quinn spoke of gas stations that trick customers by posting low gas prices that are actually reserved for only those who pay in cash.
"While drivers may appreciate saving a few bucks, the problem is the station's signs use the most confusing or tiny print possible to state it's cash only for that discount," she said.
The legislation, which was introduced by Councilman Lewis Fidler, requires a gas station to either mark that a price is for cash customers only in lettering no less than half the height, width, and thickness of the numbers indicating the price itself; or to advertise the price of gas for both cash and non-cash customers.

Out now on Windows 8
NinjaBee has released its city-building game A World of Keflings on Windows 8 for $6.99. This new version of the Xbox Live Arcade title sports touch controls and a picture-in-picture feature allowing players to better see what's going on in their world. Additionally, a Wii U version has been announced for release later this year.
"Both of these new platforms offered us huge advantages and were ideal marketplaces for a light-hearted city-builder," said art director Brent Fox. "Windows 8 gave us the chance to make the game mobile and add in very smooth, natural touch controls. The Wii U has allowed us to significantly enhance the game's visuals and, with the Wii U GamePad, explore new ways to interact with the game and its characters."
That Wii U version sounds worth double-dipping for. If you're unfamiliar, the Keflings games are laid-back to the point where you probably shouldn't start playing unless you can devote at least a few hours to building your city. Also, don't take too long of a break between play sessions -- everything will look unfamiliar and confusing. It's almost better to start over, at that point.

Mario Hewardt is a senior design engineer with Microsoft, and has worked extensively in the Windows system level development area for the last seven years. Mario is the author of Advanced .NET Debugging on which this article is based. Courtesy Addison-Wesley Professional. All rights reserved.
Editor's Note. The source code accompanying this article is available at the author's Advanced .NET Debugging website.
The Windows operating system is a preemptive and multithreaded operating system. Multithreading refers to the capability to run any number of threads concurrently. If the system is a single processor machine, Windows creates the illusion of concurrent thread execution by allowing each thread to run for a short period of time (known as a "time quantum'). When that time quantum is exhausted, the thread is put to sleep and the processor switches to another thread (known as a "context switch"), and so on. On a multiprocessor machine, two or more threads are capable of running concurrently (one thread per physical processor).
By being preemptive, all active threads in the system must be able to yield control of the processor to another thread at any point in time. Given that the operating system can take away control from a thread, developers must take care to always be in a state where control can safely be taken away.
If all applications were single threaded, or if all the threads were running in isolation, synchronization would not be a problem. Alas, for efficiency sake, dependent multithreading is the norm today and also the source of a lot of bugs in applications.
Dependent multithreading occurs when two or more threads need to work in tandem to complete a task. Code execution for a given task may, for example, be broken up between one or more threads (with or without shared resources) and hence the threads need to "communicate" with each other in regards to the order of thread execution. This communication is referred to as "thread synchronization" and is crucial to any multithreaded application.
Thread Synchronization Primitives
Internally, the Windows operating system represents a thread in a data structure known as the "thread execution block" (TEB). This data structure contains various attributes such as the thread identifier, last error, local storage, and so on. Listing 1 shows an abbreviated output of the different elements of the TEB data structure.
0:000> dt _TEB ntdll!_TEB +0x000 NtTib : _NT_TIB +0x01c EnvironmentPointer : Ptr32 Void +0x020 ClientId : _CLIENT_ID +0x028 ActiveRpcHandle : Ptr32 Void +0x02c ThreadLocalStoragePointer : Ptr32 Void +0x030 ProcessEnvironmentBlock : Ptr32 _PEB +0x034 LastErrorValue : Uint4B +0x038 CountOfOwnedCriticalSections : Uint4B … +0xfca RtlExceptionAttached : Pos 9, 1 Bit +0xfca SpareSameTebBits : Pos 10, 6 Bits +0xfcc TxnScopeEnterCallback : Ptr32 Void +0xfd0 TxnScopeExitCallback : Ptr32 Void +0xfd4 TxnScopeContext : Ptr32 Void +0xfd8 LockCount : Uint4B +0xfdc ProcessRundown : Uint4B +0xfe0 LastSwitchTime : Uint8B +0xfe8 TotalSwitchOutTime : Uint8B +0xff0 WaitReasonBitMap : _LARGE_INTEGER
All in all, on a Windows Vista machine, the TEB data structure contains right around 98 different elements. Although most of these elements aren't typically used when debugging .NET synchronization problems, it is important to be aware that Windows carries a lot of information about any given thread to accurately schedule execution. Much in the same way that Windows includes a thread data structure to maintain the state of a thread, so does the CLR. The CLR's version of the thread data structure is, not surprisingly, called Thread. The internals of the Thread class is not made public.
One very useful command is the threads command, which outputs a summary of all the CLR threads currently in the process as well as individual state for each thread:
Although the threads command gives us some insight into the CLR representation of a thread (such as the thread state, CLR thread ID, OS thread ID, etc.), the internal CLR representation is far more extensive. Even though the internal representation is not made public, we can use the Rotor source code to gain some insight into the general structure of the Thread class. The Rotor source files of interest are threads.h and threads.cpp located under the sscli20\clr\src\vm folder. Listing 2 shows a few examples of data members that are part of the Thread class.
class Thread { … volatile ThreadState m_State; DWORD m_dwLockCount; DWORD m_ThreadId; LockEntry *m_pHead; LockEntry m_embeddedEntry; … }
The m_State member contains the state of the thread (such as alive, aborted, etc.). The m_dwLockCount member indicates how many locks are currently held by the thread. The m_ThreadId member corresponds to the managed thread ID, and the last two members (m_pHead, m_embeddedEntry) correspond to the reader/writer lock state of the thread. If we need to take a closer look at a CLR thread (including the members above), we have to first find a pointer to an instance of a Thread class. This can easily be done by first using the threads command and looking at the ThreadOBJ column, which corresponds to the underlying Thread instance:
We can see that the threads command shows that the first thread pointer is located at address 0x003b4528. We can then use the dd command to dump out the contents of the pointer. What if we want to find out the contents of the m_State member? To accomplish this, we have to first figure out the offset of this member in the object's memory layout. A couple of different strategies can be used. The first strategy is to look at the class definition and see if there are any members in close proximity that you already know the value of. If that is the case, you can simply dump out the contents of the object until you find the known member and subsequently find the target member by relative offset. The other strategy is to simply look at all the members in the class definition and find the offset of the target member by simply adding up all the sizes of previous members leading up to the member of interest.
Let's use the latter strategy to find the m_State member. Looking at the class definition, we can see that the m_State member is in fact the very first member of the class. It then stands to reason that if we were to dump out the contents of the thread pointer, the very first field should be the state of the thread:
Interestingly enough, the first element (0x79f96af0) doesn't seem to resemble a thread's state. As a matter of fact, if we use the ln (list near) command, we can see the following:
We are seeing the virtual function table pointer of the object. Although not terribly interesting from a debugging perspective, it can come in handy to convince ourselves that the pointer we are looking at is in fact a pointer to a valid thread object. Because we can safely ignore this pointer for our current purposes, the next value is 0x00000220. This value looks like it may represent a bitmask of sorts but to interpret this bitmask in the context of a thread state, we must first enumerate the various bits that constitute a thread state. The Thread class contains an enumeration that represents a thread's state called the ThreadState enumeration. This enumeration can yield important clues when debugging synchronization problems. Although the entire enumeration contains close to one hundred fields, some are more important than others when debugging synchronization issues. Table 1 shows the most interesting fields of the ThreadState enumeration.
Based on Table 1 and our previous state 0x00000220, we can infer the following:
- The thread is a background thread (0x00000200).
- The thread is in a state where it can enter a Join (0x00000020).
- The thread is a newly initialized thread (0x00000000).
THREAD CLASS DISCLOSURE Although it may be useful to see the "internals" of a thread, it is important to realize that there is a good reason why this information is internal and not exposed through the threads command. Much of the information is an implementation detail and Microsoft reserves the right to change it at any time. Taking a dependency on these internal mechanisms is a dangerous prospect and should be avoided at all cost. Secondly, Rotor is a reference implementation and does not guarantee that the internals mimic the CLR source code in detail.
Now that we have discussed how the CLR represents a thread internally, it is time to take a look at some of the most common synchronization primitives that the CLR exposes as well as how they are represented in the CLR itself.
The event is a kernel mode primitive accessible in user mode via an opaque handle. An Event is a synchronization object that can take on one of two states: signaled or nonsignaled. When an event goes from the nonsignaled state to the signaled state (indicating that a particular event has occurred), a thread waiting on that event object is awakened and allowed to continue execution. Event objects are very commonly used to synchronize code flow execution between multiple threads. For example, the native Win32 API ReadFile can read data asynchronously by passing in a pointer to an OVERLAPPED structure. Figure 1 illustrates the flow of events.
The ReadFile returns to the caller immediately and processes the read operation in the background. The caller is then free to do other work. After the caller is ready for the results of the read operation, it simply waits (using the WaitForSingleObject API) for the state of the event to become signaled. When the background read operations succeeds, the event is set to a signaled state, thereby waking up the calling thread, and allows execution to continue. There are two forms of event objects: manual reset and auto reset. The key difference between the two is what happens when the event is signaled. In the case of a manual reset event, the event object remains in the signaled state until explicitly reset, thereby allowing any number of threads waiting for the event object to be released. In contrast, the auto reset event only allows one waiting thread to be released before being automatically reset to the nonsignaled state. If there are no threads waiting, the event remains in a signaled state until the first thread tries to wait for the event. In the .NET framework, the manual reset event is exposed in the System.Threading.ManualResetEvent class and the auto reset event is exposed in the System.Threading.AutoResetEvent class.
To take a closer look at an instance of either of the two classes of events, we can use the do command as shown in the following:
Because the Event classes in the System.Threading namespace are simply wrappers over the underlying Windows kernel objects, the waitHandle member of the classes can be used to gain more insight into the underlying kernel mode object. We can use the handle debugger command with the waitHandle value:
Here, we can see that the waitHandle with value 204 corresponds to an auto reset event that is currently in a waiting state.

Best known as the raspy-voiced frontman for Southern rock combo Molly Hatchet, singer Danny Joe Brown was born August 24, 1951, in Jacksonville, FL. At the age of 19, while a member of the U.S. Coast Guard, he was diagnosed with diabetes, but after completing his military duties he nevertheless pursued a career in rock & roll. In 1974, Brown teamed with lead guitarists David Hlubek and Steve Holland to form Molly Hatchet, so named in honor of the 17th century prostitute chopping off her clients' heads. After adding guitarist Duane Roland, bassist Banner Thomas, and drummer Bruce Crump and honing its Dixie-fried hard rock on the Southeast club circuit, Molly Hatchet issued its self-titled debut LP in the fall of 1978, selling a million copies. The follow-up, Flirtin' with Disaster, moved twice as many units, but as the band's commitments increased, Brown's struggle with diabetes grew more difficult, and exhaustion forced him to resign in 1980. He resurfaced in 1981 with a solo project, Danny Joe Brown and the Danny Joe Brown Band, before rejoining Molly Hatchet a year later for the tepidly received No Guts...No Glory. The group went on hiatus in 1985 but returned four years later with Lightning Strikes Twice. The record fared poorly, and Molly Hatchet soon dissolved for good, although a latter-day version of the group with none of its original lineup still intact played the club circuit well into the following century. Brown retired from music for good after suffering a massive stroke in 1998. He died of renal failure at his home in Davie, FL, on March 10, 2005. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
Hell yeah Danny Joe!!
Met you many, many times when I was in the service stationed in Georgia. You were never to far away then, and everytime I crank some Molly Hatchet or the Danny Joe Brown Band album, you're here again!!
R.I.P. bro.
You ARE the man!!

Studying Abroad
Foreign Internship — (Course Number 596, Optional)
The Midwest College of Oriental Medicine has been conducting foreign internship trips to China for over twenty years. During these trips, students have gained clinical experience at TCM hospitals all over China, including Beijing, Chengdu, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou. In 1996, the Midwest College was granted formal affiliation with the Guangzhou Medical University, whose eight hospitals in Guangdong province treat over three million patients per year and perform ten thousand outpatient treatments per day.
The Midwest College's affiliation with the Guangzhou University has led to a new cooperative relationship between our two schools to develop curriculum and support international exchange in the field of medicine. Our collaboration has allowed us to bring the most recent advances in TCM medical therapy to our educational programs.
Only Midwest College foreign internships are accepted for approved credit. Private or unaccredited foreign study programs are not accepted for credit. Students must have their Midwest College tuition paid up to date before foreign internship credit is accepted. The China internship trip may not cause attendance requirement conflicts with the didactic portion of their education. A maximum of 108 hours of acupuncture clinic may be completed through the Midwest College's foreign study trip.

Thank you for your answer, I indeed investigated quadrics cards intensively. Ask your college Daniel Kidger. The shmem is an ideal solution for what searching algorithms are doing.

If you >are overlapping then the issue rate for reads is more important than the >raw latency. A node (chessposition in this case) eats on average 10 us. sometimes that's 50us other times it's 1us. That's the time a cpu is busy calculating a chesstechnical value how good the position is applying human chesspatterns. Called evaluation function in search world. Before applying evaluation function one is doing a lookup to the cache whether one already searched this position. In case of a 2 node beowulf that means you have 50% odds that this position is in local memory and 50% chance it's a remote lookup. The reason for this is very simple by explaining the hash function which in a lot of different software gets used too (not only search, also encryption and string matching and all types of caches). For each piece at each square take a random value ( long long randomvalue[12][64] ) XOR all values with each other and you have what is called a Zobrist hash from a position. Very effectively. Nothing beats the speed of Zobrist as you can do it incremental. Now suppose we use the lower 20 bits to lookup at 1 million entries. So we AND the hash number with 2^20 - 1 and lookup at that adress in the hashtable. Obviously such cache is distributed across the nodes. Each node having an equal share of the global transpositiontable as it is called officially. Trivially doing this each 10 us will put too much stress on the network. So usually one doesn't do it at the leaves itself (called quiescencesearch). That means only in 20% of the nodes such a thing gets tried. That's already on average once in each 100 us. The slower the network card, the less remote hashtable lookups one tries obviously. Finding for each cluster an optimum search depth when to try it is of course not so difficult to figure out. 1 lookup reads 64 bytes and that's 4 entries where the position could be stored. 1 entry is 16 bytes and stores quite some information. Apart from a lot of bits to identify a chessposition, the score is there (20 bits) and what the best move was in this position. >> >> quadrics/dolphin seems bit out of pricerange.

Suppose a 8 node quadrics setup so with a switch in the middle and all processors trying to read nonstop over the network to a random remote processor. Each processor reading out of the 64MB on card. So never in the physical memory of a processor, just at the remote network cards. What speed is achievable then to read 64 bytes? SGI with their supercomputers never get better than 5.8 us there (that's reading 8 bytes) on average (origin3800) when the numaflex routers kick in. Altix3000 is way worse there.

I take care the cpu's get nearly 100% load and say am prepared to sacrafice 10% of the scaling at a network to read/write latency to the hashtable. So i just figure out how many reads i can do in 10% system time and fill that with reads. The other 90% system time it has to evaluate chesspositions and be busy with the real stuff. By putting the depth in the search at which it is allowed to read higher or lower, i can manual adjust the traffic over the network. Best regards, Vincent >Ashley,

Pacific Health Ministry (PHM) was established in 1986 as a not-for-profit organization to develop hospital ministry, and Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) programs in Hawaii. The idea for the agency evolved in the hearts and minds of healthcare and religious leaders. In the early 1980s, there was a growing interest in the value of spiritual care in healthcare institutions to address complex bio-ethical questions and end-of-life issues. A community of religious and health-care leaders gathered to seek ways to deal with these challenging concerns. Through consultation with the Pacific Region of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE), models were formulated to develop a spiritual care and education program within the multi-cultural, multi-religious context of Hawaii.
The agency began services on Oahu in 1988 at three of the major Hawaii health care institutions: Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children, The Queen's Medical Center and Kuakini Medical Center. Since that time programs have been established at Hawaii State Hospital, Kahi Mohala, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, Pali Momi Medical Center, Maui Memorial Medical Center, Pohai Nani Good Samaritan, Straub Clinic & Hospital.
Pacific Health Ministry also received accreditation in 1988 from ACPE to develop a Clinical Pastoral Education program and has been continuously conducting classes ever since. It is the only accredited graduate level ministry education program in the State of Hawaii. Clergy, other pastoral ministers and theological students from more than 30 nations have participated in the program.
Pacific Health Ministry is a diverse organization. Members of the Board of Directors represent many of the traditions in Hawaii. The spiritual care and education programs are rooted in the rich traditions and values of the people living throughout the island chain. It is the express goal of the Board to establish spiritual care and education at all the health related institutions in Hawaii.

Eating for the Future
With all that we know about tobacco, how can people still smoke?
It's easy. They're enticed by big business; they enjoy it; it's cool; and it's very, very habit forming. Now for the sobering truth – poor nutritional choices cause every bit as much cancer, death, disability, and chronic disease as cigarettes do. The modern American diet is public health threat number one to our children. With all that we know about junk food, how can people still eat it?
What an opportunity you have! For generations, many parents had no idea that they could start their children on the road to good nutrition before they were even born.
Just for perspective, you may want to watch an hour of children's cartoons on television, or watch a group of kids in a fast food joint. You'll be struck by the amount of unhealthy food powerfully, enticingly, seductively marketed to our kids with songs, toys, commercials, and characters.
How much better to have a tradition of good nutrition before they meet that onslaught! How much better to support their enjoyment of delicious healthy foods when solid foods are first introduced!
And now is an even more special opportunity. In the womb, your baby's eyes are shielded from the seduction of commercials, from the kid's meal toys, and from the group-think of peer pressure. She tastes and remembers what you eat! All she knows is what you feed her in quiet, and what her dad feeds you. She loves what she eats, grows from it now, and develops tastes for the future.
The prenatal vitamin is an important way to fill in the nutrient gaps, but babies were designed to thrive from what mothers ate long before these and other supplements were invented.
When I was growing up, my father grew tomatoes in our backyard. These vine-ripened tomatoes were absolutely delicious – far better than any others I can remember having. As plants grow, the new growth is built from materials taken from the soil. Nothing can be incorporated into plants unless it is present in the soil. Plants grown in depleted soils are just not the same. But plants do the best they can with whatever materials are available. They can do a lot with a little.
You are your baby's soil.
When you first meet your baby face to face, you'll be looking at cheeks and toes built from the food you have eaten.
What an opportunity!

Multiple Car Accident On Northbound US 31
With nearly 24 hours of snowfall across the region, accidents have been piling up throughout West Michigan. WZZM 13 is reporting that police are currently dealing with multiple accidents on US 31 in Muskegon County.
It is being reported that between 15 and 30 vehicles are involved in an accident between Broadway and Laketon. Multiple drivers have been transported to area hospitals with one patient being reported as seriously injured.
This incident comes less than 24 hours from a 20+ vehicle accident on I-96. The pileup on I-96 caused the freeway to close, but no one was injured in the accident.
