Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is where the irreparably damaged, infected, useless, or cancerous cells of an animal either voluntarily or by command of surrounding tissue terminate themselves for the good of cellular society. Prior to this, they first give away their valuable, salvageable constituents to the rest of the cells before being destroyed in a clean manner so as to prevent an inflammatory response. Such processes prevent humans from having webbed feet at birth, developing tumors or diseases, etc.
If this is the way nature does it, why don't humans? Is the human tendecy to be incredibly reluctant towards the removal of certain people unnatural? In other words, does its lack of a widely used 'programmed human death' system disrupt society by allowing its destructive, wasteful, or infectious members to continue to cause problems?
It's amazing how nature can be so logical about things. Either nature intended humans to be illogical, or we're just doing something wrong.
Let's take it to an even larger scale. Humans are a part of the society of the entire biosphere, and, as a whole, our actions have undoubtedly caused serious harm to it. It isn't hard to make the argument that we act like a cancer, a destructive force that seems to be unhindered by the population controls we're faced with. Perhaps, eventually, humans will face "programmed species death" in an effort by the biosphere to save itself. Remember the 1951 film "The Day the Earth Stood Still"? (Ok, most likely not but stick with me here.) It ends with the humans facing annihilation by the other worlds of the universe, who feel threatened by the presence of our destructive and violent technologies in space.
But, our extinction by the will of the biosphere seems impractical to me. That would only quicken the destruction of the world because humans have made things so bad that we truly are the only ones who can fix it before a catastrophic collapse in the biosphere. I feel it has become our responsibility as a species to justify our continued participation in the biosphere by the collective effort of every individual of our 6.7 billion population to quickly reverse our negative global impact. Just think, 6.7 billion people. Don't you think such a feat would actually be a simple task with that kind of brainpower, willpower, manpower?
"The decision rests with you."
(P.S. - For those of you who didn't catch that reference to the previously mentioned film, for crying out loud, watch it!)

I have collected location point data and wish to display this on a web based map. It was collected using a Garmin Etrex GPS using the WGS84 datum. I wish to display the points using Ushahidi and have done so successfully. The site is here.
Unfortunately the points do not correlate to what I know they should be, I believe it is a projection error. The points are supposed to be on the edge of the lake. Any suggestions or pointers on how to translate the points in the current projection to my new one.

Clarington Digging Spade
Product Code: 6127
Availability: 2
In operation since 1780, Clarington Forge is the last remaining forge in England that still produces garden tools. The head of each of these spades and forks is individually forged from a single piece of steel for strength and durability. In fact, these are the strongest gardening tools we offer, with a strength rating far in excess of the British standard (which specifies that digging tools bear at least 121 lb of force at the end of the handle, and border tools bear 88 lb, without breakage). Though robust, they are not indestructible, so we do not recommend them for uprooting saplings or prying boulders. The shaft is American white ash with a traditional wood/steel combination D-handle grip. The digging tools are perfect for heavy digging, double digging, ground preparation and harvesting. The border tools are smaller, making them more suited to lighter digging or for gardeners with less strength. The spades are treaded for comfortable digging. Overall lengths, head sizes and weights are shown in the chart. All are built to last a lifetime.

Senate Passes Stopgap Bill to Fund Government
(WASHINGTON) -- The Senate did its part Wednesday to stave off a government shutdown by passing a continuing resolution in order to keep the government funded.
The continuing resolution, known in Washington shorthand as the CR, is a stopgap appropriations measure. Congress is up against a March 27 deadline to keep the government funded through September, the end of the fiscal year.
The bill passed with a vote of 73-26 and now heads over to the House of Representatives for final passage.
Important to note, especially in context of Senate Democrats' stripping out the assault-weapons ban within their gun legislation this week, is that the CR's base bill includes making four longstanding gun protections permanent.
Also included in the Senate's updated CR are many amendments that help alleviate the impact of budget cuts resulting from the so-called sequester. One bipartisan amendment passed today will shift money in the budget to avoid furloughs of food-safety inspectors because of the sequester.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., had an amendment that aimed to force the White House to reopen White House tours. The amendment would redirect $6 million in funds toward preserving visitor services and maintenance activities at national parks such as the White House and Yellowstone.
The amendment failed and Democrats argued that it would not have helped reopen White House tours, anyway.
Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., said today, "Those tours are governed by the Secret Service budget, which is not part of this amendment. So that would not be affected."
The Senate bill keeps the same spending levels as the House bill, setting the top-line overall rate of spending at $982 billion, down from $1.043 trillion the previous fiscal year, but adds three appropriations measures: for homeland security and commerce; agriculture; and justice and science funds.
Since the bill was tweaked by the Senate, it now must be passed again by the House of Representatives.
Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, has said that so far it does not look as though the Senate's changes to the CR will cause much of an uproar in the House of Representatives, meaning the bill as produced by the Senate could be easily and swiftly passed to President Obama for his final signature.
"I'll wait and see what the Senate produces once it comes off the floor," Boehner said last week of the Senate's bill. "So far, so good."

Thanksgiving Leftover Recipes
Everyone loves turkey sandwiches the day after Thanksgiving, but I get tired of the same old turkey sandwich every year. So, this year I've found a couple new sandwich ideas that take the old blah turkey sandwich and give it a little twist. I can't wait to try these after this Turkey Day.
Turkey, avocado and bacon sandwich
Start by buttering one side of a piece of bread. Place cheese, turkey, sliced avocado and crispy bacon on unbuttered side of one piece of the bread. Add lettuce and tomatoes if desired, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Put the buttered slice of bread in the skillet buttered side down. Place another piece of bread on top of the fixings and butter the top side of the bread. Toast for one minute, and then flip the sandwich over.
Sweet and spicy turkey pita
Start by toasting 1 teaspoon of curry powder in a skillet for about 20 seconds, and then let it cool. Mix the curry with 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce and 1/2 cup of plain yogurt. Chop 2 cups of leftover turkey, 1/8 cup of onion and 1/4 cup celery, and dump all of these ingredients into a bowl. Add yogurt/cranberry mixture to the turkey mixture. Stir until combined and season with salt and pepper. Line a pita with lettuce if desired, and then stuff the pita with mix.

Beta Release!
Well, after two weeks of working and learning and trial/error, I've got what I believe is suitable for a BETA release! The game is intentionally simplistic; even having my own dreams of the next great MMORPG, I realize and respect the concept of biting off more than one can chew, lol. I felt this was both realistic yet large enough endeavor for one person to be a great first step. As simple as it is, I feel like it's a huge accomplishment, and it's a good sense of pride knowing that I took something small and am accomplishing it (rather than taking something large and only accomplishing .01% of it.)
I will keep working on it, fixing all bugs, and adding small features here and there until I feel it's worthy of being more than a WIP/Beta.
Who knows, I might even eventually earn the right to call myself a "Game Developer". ^_^

Atrial Symptoms and Causes
An arrhythmia is a problem with the speed or rhythm of the heartbeat. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of arrhythmia. The cause is a disorder in the heart's electrical system.
Often, people who have AF may not even feel symptoms. But you may feel
AF can lead to an increased risk of stroke. In many patients, it can also cause chest pain, heart attack, or heart failure.
Doctors diagnose AF using family and medical history, a physical exam, and a test called an electrocardiogram (EKG), which looks at the electrical waves your heart makes. Treatments include medicines and procedures to restore normal rhythm.

TORONTO - Colby Rasmus got the best of his little brother - and didn't feel too good about it.
Rasmus hit a two-run homer and later doubled off his younger brother, Cory, to lead the Toronto Blue Jays past the Atlanta Braves 9-3 on Monday night.
"It was a strange feeling," Colby Rasmus said. "Lot of emotions going on. It was awesome and terrible at the same time."
The brother vs. brother matchup wasn't as draining for Cory, a rookie reliever for the Braves who is about 15 months younger than Toronto's center fielder.
"It's not the outcome you wanted," he said. "It was still awesome."
Edwin Encarnacion hit a three-run homer and J.P. Arencibia added a two-run shot for the Blue Jays, who lost third baseman Brett Lawrie to a sprained ankle.
Encarnacion went 2 for 5 with five RBIs as the Blue Jays improved to 3-0 in interleague play. Toronto has won nine of 12 against NL opponents dating to last season.
Mark Buehrle (2-3) surprised himself by allowing only one run and five hits in six innings to snap a seven-start winless streak and earn his 26th career interleague victory. The veteran left-hander, whose previous win was April 15, is the all-time leader in interleague wins.
"Today was probably the worst I've felt coming out of the bullpen this season," Buehrle said. "That just tells you how screwed up this game is. I've felt great coming out of the bullpen and got my butt handed to me. Today I was like, if I get through five innings it's going to be a miracle."
Buehrle walked two and struck out six. He retired 11 of his first 13 batters and didn't allow a hit until Evan Gattis' two-out double in the fourth.
"He made some pitches through the course of the night that kept us off balance," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
Brad Lincoln worked two innings and Thad Webber finished for the Blue Jays.
Lawrie left in the sixth after spraining his left ankle sliding into second on a stolen base. He initially stayed in the game but was visibly hobbled advancing to third on Emilio Bonifacio's grounder. Mark DeRosa came on to pinch run, then replaced Lawrie at third base.
The Blue Jays said he is day to day.
"I didn't feel a pop or anything like that, so that was a great sign to me," Lawrie said.
Gattis hit his 11th homer, a two-run shot off Lincoln in the eighth, but the Braves lost their second straight following an eight-game winning streak. Tim Hudson (4-4) matched a season worst by allowing six runs and eight hits in six innings, extending his winless streak to four starts.
"Obviously, the results stink for me right now and for our club," Hudson said. "I feel confident that things are going to be a lot better, hopefully really soon."
Adam Lind doubled leading off the second and, one out later, Colby Rasmus hit his eighth homer into the second deck.
"We got behind the 8-ball right off the get-go with that," Gonzalez said.
Toronto added two more in the third. Melky Cabrera walked, Jose Bautista doubled and both runners scored on Encarnacion's single.
Buehrle's shutout bid ended in the fifth when Chris Johnson doubled and scored on a two-out single by Andrelton Simmons.
After Lind walked to begin the sixth, Arencibia followed with a shot to center, his 12th.
Toronto put it away in the seventh against Cory Rasmus. Cabrera doubled, Bautista walked and Encarnacion hit a first-pitch homer, his team-high 14th.
Watching his brother give up Encarnacion's long drive didn't feel too good for Colby Rasmus.
"My gut kind of wrenched up a little bit," he said.
Two batters later, Rasmus doubled off his brother, the first time they had faced each other in the majors.
"I was hoping our brother would get the better end of that one, but he didn't," Gonzalez said.
It was the first time brothers had gone head-to-head in a big league game since June 13, 2010, when pitchers Jered and Jeff Weaver squared off in an interleague meeting between the Los Angeles Angels and Dodgers.
NOTES: Braves OFs Jason Heyward and B.J. Upton were rested. Heyward had played nine straight games since returning from an appendectomy May 17. Upton is batting .148. ... Atlanta RHP Jordan Walden (shoulder) threw one scoreless inning in a rehab outing for Triple-A Gwinnett. ... Toronto RHP Esmil Rogers (1-2, 4.56 ERA) will make his first start of the season Wednesday at Atlanta. Rogers, who has made 22 relief appearances this year, last started for Colorado in 2011. ... Braves bench coach Carlos Tosca managed the Blue Jays from 2002-04.

Cabling isn''t the only concern in a retrofit. In large retrofits that require extensive work-area recabling, it''s a good idea to have temporary office spaces where personnel can relocate until you complete their section of the retrofit.
A cutover from the old to new system is one of the most detailed and critical steps in a retrofit. To help ensure a quality transition and to expedite the cutover, you need to use cutsheets. They contain the existing cross-connect terminations and show the changes necessary to execute the cutover.
Planning for a retrofit installation involves a multitude of tasks that you must complete before you even begin to remove or install cable. Determined by the scope and design of the cabling installation, each retrofit requires you to address a unique set of circumstances. Some retrofits involve a simple expansion of a phone system or a data network. Others may involve voice and data systems, security and fire-alarm systems and an upgrade to the backbone or horizontal-cabling infrastructure.
Usually, customers have already developed an idea of what they want in a retrofit. In most cases, you''ll have copies of the bid, a request for proposal, formal contract, purchase order or some other official document that conveys the customer''s intentions. Most of the time, this package contains the drawings and specifications that determine the materials you must use and when and under what standards you plan to install them. The larger the project, the greater the complexity of these documents, and the greater their importance to a successful installation.
You should obtain all the available documentation on the existing installation from the customer, including the cross-connect records and any information on the proposed system. Many times, existing documentation only contains information from the initial installation and does not reflect the last 10 years of moves, adds and changes (MACs). You should plan on spending numerous man-hours or even days verifying the existing infrastructure.
You should prepare separate drawings for each type of telecommunications system you plan to install. That is, you must prepare separate drawings for copper, optical-fiber, coaxial and low-voltage cables. If the project is small enough, you can place all of this information on a single drawing.
Larger retrofit projects may require a series of drawings and complex project schedules. The first set of drawings should include the existing closets and infrastructure. The second set might include temporary facilities needed to free up space for the final installation, and a third set of drawings could show the final configuration.
These drawings should include elevation details of the closets and the arrangement of the various types of equipment. You should also incorporate a detail of each wall and rack in each closet, as well as a plan view of the floor-mounted hardware. The drawings must also indicate the cable supporting structure you plan on using.
Equipment, cables and personnel installation logistics. In ideal situations, the retrofit will take place in unoccupied spaces. This allows you to remove all equipment and cables that will not be part of the new installation, so you can have a valuable pathway and closet space for the installation of new system components.
However, cabling isn''t the only concern in a retrofit. In large retrofits that require extensive work-area recabling, it''s a good idea to have temporary office spaces where personnel can relocate until you complete their section of the retrofit. We call this practice swing-floor phasing, because groups of personnel swing from one floor area to another as you phase them into service.
Another approach to swing-floor phasing is to work with the customer to develop a master plan of swapping office areas. For example, the accounting department might move into temporary trailers while you rewire the old accounting spaces. Then, the purchasing department could relocate into the old accounting spaces while you rewire the vacant purchasing department spaces. Telemarketing would then relocate into the rewired purchasing spaces, and so on, until you rewire all office spaces and the accounting department moves into the last rewired space. This form of swing-floor phasing requires the accounting department to move twice while all other departments only move once. This saves the customer time and money when preparing for the augmentation.
Communication is key to augmenting an existing installation. When determining what part of the existing cable plant you plan to reuse during the retrofit, good communication with the customer is essential. If the customer wants to use portions of the present cable and equipment, the existing components must conform to the new requirements. In many cases, system upgrades require a new cabling configuration that doesn''t allow the use of the current infrastructure. Obtain as much information as possible from the customer and verify that the information is accurate. If the existing documentation is questionable or does not exist, it may be necessary to trace and document the current system. In addition, you must test the existing cable plant to verify the level of service it can support.
After you verify and test the infrastructure, you can determine which pathways, cables and equipment to reuse. Then, the challenge is to incorporate the new components into the ones you plan to reuse.
If the telecommunications closet does not have adequate room for the old and new components, you should do the following:
Build additional closets.
Expand the existing closet.
Float the existing equipment and cables. In a small closet, you may need to extend the existing equipment and cables into the hallway to make room for the new system. You can remove the old system components after the cutover is complete.
Install temporary cabling. Temporary cabling is exactly what its name implies. It provides service until you complete the cutover. You then remove it.
Large office retrofits may require extensive work-area recabling and closet renovations. Temporary cabling can be either backbone or horizontal cables. It may be easier to temporarily relocate a small telephone system from the closet into an office and run the horizontal cables around the perimeter of the floor until you install the new system.
After you install and test the new cables and equipment, you can begin transferring to the new system. At this point, you must develop a detailed plan to cut the new components into the final working configuration. Depending on the size and scope of the retrofit, either a phased cutover or a flash cut may be necessary.
A cutover from the old to new system is one of the most detailed and critical steps in a retrofit. To help ensure a high-quality transition and to expedite the cutover, you need to use cutsheets. Cutsheets are documents that contain the existing cross- connect terminations and show the changes necessary to execute the cutover. You can also document each circuit with a Circuit Layout Record (CLR). CLRs provide a quick graphical representation of the circuit layout. They show all equipment, cables, cross-connects and their termination locations. CLRs are extremely beneficial when troubleshooting.
A flash cut transfers the old system to the newly installed system in one continuous process until it is 100% complete. Transfers may involve a hot cut or a rolling cut. To perform a hot cut, you unplug the equipment cables from the existing system and plug them into the new system. The customer is without communications during the process. The rolling cut is a type of flash cut in which you relocate cross connects one pair after another until the transfer is complete.
In a phased cutover, you transfer portions of the old system to the new system in groups. As you rewire offices or buildings, you phase them into the new system. In this example, the new and old systems work in parallel until you complete the transfer.
Removing abandoned cable is an essential part of most retrofits. Abandoned cable is a fire hazard you must address. In a fire, old cable becomes fuel, providing a path for the fire to spread throughout the building. It also takes up valuable pathway space and places an unnecessary strain on the supporting hardware. Don''t forget to obtain written permission from the owner before removing any cable.

Temperatures are rising and so are hemlines! With the warm summer weather, it's much easier to slip on a fun dress than to think about layers of jeans and jackets that make you sweat. Ready to set up your ensemble but not sure what to wear with all the dresses out there? We've got you covered with our 10 best summer dress styles that are actually quite affordable–all coming in under $100!
1. The Tank Dress – This dress style works well with both your regular summer sandals and a high platform. Wear it mid-thigh length or longer for the best look. If you have more of a boyish figure, then wear it as is or consider belting it at your natural waist to add some curves.
Price: $40.20 at Hudson's Bay
Great For: Anything! The versatility of the tank dress allows you to wear it under a skirt or with a blazer for a more formal look. Or wear it alone for laid back style.
2. The Beach Wrap Dress – The beach wrap will be the dress style you wear most often this summer. Clearly, it's perfect for the beach or lounging poolside. Wear it as a cover up over your swimsuit or alone as it's slightly sheer. The knee-length gives you the freedom to wear it on the go, and the tie waist pulls everything together.
Price: $14.95 at H&M
Great For: A beach vacation to some place exotic. Take it to the beach and easily transition it for an afternoon lunch at a beach side cafe.
3. The Knife Pleated Dress – Go sleeveless in this knife pleated dress. This is great if you've been working out your arms in preparation for summer. The knife pleats in the center of the dress focus the attention, and the hem extends in the back for added flair.
Price: $87.50 at Neiman Marcus Last Call
Great For: Showing off your toned arms and legs in this easy-breezy look that takes minimal effort.
4. The Crepe Shift Dress – Much like the tank dress, the crepe shift dress works really well as shown or belted. A shift dress has always been a style for when you want to showoff an effortless look. The woven crepe detail and curved hem of this one makes it stand out a bit more.
Price: $45 at Topshop
Great For: Taking in the sun at an weekend picnic or farmer's market. This fit works well with most body types.
5. The Denim Shirt Dress – The denim trend isn't really going anywhere just because it's summer. Now you simply get more creative in your use of denim by wearing a denim shirt dress. Switch out your denim skinny jeans for this more appropriate look. Pair the shirt dress with summer staples like wedges or espadrilles.

Great For: Sailing during the summer to put you in a nautical state of mind. Pull up the sleeves to make the look more breathable.
9. The Slit Maxi Dress – Every woman should own a nice fitting maxi dress, and for the summer, consider getting one with a side slit. Since Kendall Jenner wore the Fausto Puglisi side slit dress at an award show in June, this more revealing style has become more popular. But keep it tasteful and go for a single slit that stops just about the knee in a comfortable wrap material with a stretch waist.

Great For: Dressing up your summer dress style with a more sophisticated look.
10. The Skater Dress – Most people love the look of the skater dress because it's really just an updated A-line dress. The dress is narrow at the top and flares at the bottom (like the letter A). The fitted waistline coupled with the wider bottom works for many body types.
Price: $33.77 at ShopAkira
Great For: A comfortable look that can be worn all day. If you're smaller on top and larger on bottom, the skater dress works wonders. Add tights if the weather permits.

The ANC would not discuss the report with Zuma either, on the grounds that his finances were private. (Daniel Born, Gallo)
"We can't comment on a private matter as an organisation. It has nothing to do with anybody," spokesperson Keith Khoza said.
The ANC would not discuss the report with Zuma either, on the grounds that his finances were private.
Zuma corruption: South Africans have a right to know
Zuma corruption: Of battleships and Nkandla
Banks bent over backwards for Zuma
All the president's willing benefactors: Part one
All the president's willing benefactors: Part two
Other politicians at the Zuma trough
"We cannot dignify irresponsible reporting by the Mail & Guardian; this has got nothing to do with the public office and the office of the president."
The Young Communist League of SA (YCLSA) said the story was "repackaged" gossip, using old tricks intended to discredit Zuma ahead of the party's 53rd national conference in Mangaung, where the party's top leadership will be elected.
"The story has nothing [but] Mangaung written all over it, and takes us back five years ago where the media was used to try and dissuade delegates from pushing ahead with the election of the President Jacob Zuma," said Mawethu Rune, YCLSA deputy national chair.
Bent over backwards
The information in the report was not tested either, denying Zuma the right to reply, it said.
The YCLSA believed that "the more the slander targeted at victimising President Zuma, the better he stands to be re-elected".
According to the 500-page KPMG report, a 2006 forensic probe into Zuma's finances revealed that former president Nelson Mandela gave him R1-million to help settle his debts.
Zuma benefited from several businessmen, including his nephew Khulubuse Zuma, and Durban businessman Vivian Reddy.
Large commercial banks "bent over backwards" to accommodate Zuma because of his political position, writing off his bad debts.
Standard Bank reportedly wrote off a bond account as bad debt.
Absa reportedly opened accounts in spite of his history of poor or late repayments, because of his "strategic positioning".
Standard Bank spokesperson Erik Larsen said: "Standard Bank is bound by law not to discuss clients' financial affairs.
Absa spokesperson Patrick Wadula said it was attending to the request for comment.
The report said an FNB official wrote that he or she was sure the "powers that be will assist us where we need to bend the rules a little".
Bank spokesperson Steve Higgins said: "The bank's lending decisions are based on the customer's ability to repay the loan and the securities provided to support the facility. We are unable to discuss customer accounts as these matters are confidential to the customer."
Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory spokesperson Sello Hatang said he was not in a position to comment on Friday as he did not have the information contained in the KPMG report.
Comment from presidency spokesperson Mac Maharaj could not immediately be obtained as he was out of the country with Zuma, who was on a working visit to Tanzania. An official in the presidency said only Maharaj could comment.
Leave of absence
Mail & Guardian editor Nic Dawes said the paper ran the story without seeking comment first from Zuma or others named in it, contrary to their right of reply practice. This was because the risk of being prevented from publishing it "was real".
The publication invited comment on the story, which it said it would publish immediately.
The Democratic Alliance said Zuma had to take a leave of absence until his name had been cleared.
"The full story will come out eventually, but until then President Zuma must take a leave of absence from his office until these allegations have been proved or discounted," said Democratic Alliance MP James Selfe, who is also chairperson of the DA federal executive.
The KPMG report was prepared ahead of Zuma's high court appearance on corruption charges in 2006. It was however not used once the charges were dropped, after the NPA said it had found evidence of interference in the investigation.
The DA was trying through the courts to get the tapes which formed the basis for the decision to have the corruption charges dropped, and the record of the decision.
The Christian Democratic Party's Rev Theunis Botha said Zuma could no longer be considered a suitable candidate for president, called for him to step down, and for a caretaker president to be appointed until the controversy around the funding of his home in Nkandla was resolved.

How to Make Lined Balloon Valances
A fully lined balloon valance on a curtain rod is a nonmoving treatment that looks complicated and fancy (when made with an ornate fabric, it harkens back to Victorian style), but it's simple to create. This project resembles its name: It consists of three puffy balloon shapes side by side, separated by two vertically shirred areas that create the balloon effect.
Try a lightweight cotton, a beautiful chintz or taffeta, or even lace. However, stay away from fabric that's too heavy because you won't be able to create the balloon effect, and too-soft fabric with too much drape won't retain the balloon shape.
Balloon valances also employ a fabric lining. When deciding on a fabric for the lining, consider a contrasting decorator fabric in a weight similar to the "front" fabric. You can pick up the small part of the lining that peeks out into your room in your room design, and this treatment looks equally lovely from the outside of the house. If you don't want to match two prints, you can use a classic lining fabric, such as ivory sateen.
This project calls for shirring, which is a way of getting a scrunched-up effect by manipulating the fabric into rough-formed gathers. You move the fabric into a smaller area by weaving a safety pin in and out of the fabric (think of the way a worm would eat through a tasty green leaf!) to keep it held in place. In this instance, you shirr the fabric and hold it fast with a safety pin to create tiny pleats.
Start by determining your fabric needs:
Measure across your window to where you intend to mount your hardware for your width, and double it.
Determine how long you want your valance to be.
When determining length, consider your window's proportion. If it's a very large and/or long window, go for a full one-third measurement for your length and add 7 or 8 inches, to allow for the 2 inches of fabric that turns over to the back to create the rod sleeve, and for the 5 or 6 inches fabric that will be shirred upward into the safety pins.
Place your fabric and lining face-to-face on your worktable, and then stitch them together 1/2 inch in from the edges, all the way around the fabric, leaving a 4-inch opening at the center top of the valance.
After you're done sewing, pull the fabric out through the hole so the fabric is right side out; iron flat.
No need to close up the 4-inch opening now; you stitch it shut later in this project when you create the rod sleeve.
Using your straight pins, pin your lined fabric into pleats.
Keep your three sections of equal dimension.
Fold under the fabric at each side 2-1/2 inches to create a hem, and pin.
Press the pleats from top to bottom with your iron and, at each side hem and on each side of each pleat, stitch 4 inches down from the top.
You can do this step on your machine or by hand.
Now fold the top of your pleated panel over and down 2 inches, so the fabric is folded toward the back, and stitch across, which will create your rod sleeve.
Prepare to shirr the fabric by flipping over the valance so that you're working on the back.
Locate the center of each pleat by checking on the front of the valance.
Starting an inch from the bottom, measure 5 or 6 inches up — this spot is where you shirr.
Gather 5 or 6 inches of fabric into the safety pin, pushing the pin in and out through the fabric. If you like the effect, shirr through the outside side hems, as well.
Your fabric now fits into the 2-inch safety pin, which creates the scrunchy gathers.
Insert your curtain rod through the rod sleeve of your choice and hang your valance.

An over-the-air software update to the Droid smartphone started yesterday, but it wasn't clear whether the 14 enhancements address a voice echo problem that hundreds of users complained about in online forums.
The much-anticipated update went to a "small percentage of handsets" yesterday and the update, identified as ESD56, will be phased in over the next week or so, a Verizon Wireless spokeswoman confirmed early today via e-mail.
The enhancements come from Verizon Wireless, Motorola and Google, which is behind the Android operating system that runs on the Motorola Droid. An update to the Droid Eris smartphone from HTC is "planned but a date has not yet been confirmed," the spokeswoman added.
The Motorola Droid update is based on Google's release of a software developer kit for Android 2.0.2 on Dec. 6. The most noticeable modifications improve the Droid's camera autofocus capability and the phone's voice reception, the spokeswoman added.
However, it remains unclear whether the list of official fixes offers any relief to hundreds of customers who have complained of a voice echo heard by recipients of calls made from Droid phones. At least 300 comments at a Motorola online support forum refer to the subject, " Droid phone sound quality is not great ," and most comments refer to audio echo problems noticed by people whom Droid users are calling.
One Motorola Droid user, John Davis, said he has enjoyed all aspects of his Droid except for the phone itself. "Almost from day one there has been an annoying echo primarily with the person on the receiving end," he wrote in an e-mail to Computerworld US. Davis, a physician, bought his phone the first day it was available at a Verizon store near Boston.
Despite the many online complaints of a similar problem from Droid users, he couldn't get Verizon store officials to listen to him, he said. "Each time I returned to the store, now three times, I have been treated increasingly like an Android from out of space until [a recent] Friday when I threw a nutty in the store and screamed out for attention," he wrote. "The techs were clueless."
Davis said his son, an engineer at Cisco Systems Inc., helped him decrease the echo somewhat by adjusting the phone's settings so that when the echo shows up, Davis must fidget with the speaker button to lessen the echo.
But Davis was still awaiting the update, which was rumored to start on Dec. 11, but now appears to have started four days earlier. Davis said his son believes the update is designed to address the issue, and so do many on an online forum. However, the official update documentation says only that one of the 14 improvements is listed as "audio for incoming calls is improved." A separate improvement says that Bluetooth functions are improved with "background echo ... eliminated" but only in reference to Bluetooth usage.
The full list also includes improvements to OS stability, battery life and camera auto focus. Davis said he had no significant problems with his camera, but is still eager to have the update for the camera focus.
Ironically, many reviewers of the Motorola Droid found it has superlative sound quality , so the echo problem could be a function of networks as well as the Droid, many forum users have noted.
A Motorola support forums manager, identified online only as Matt, called attention to the update yesterday with a link to the separate Motorola forum on sound quality, implying that the improvements could help the echo problem.
The Verizon spokeswoman did not answer directly whether the updates fix the echo problem, saying only that descriptions of the audio problem on forums are "subjective," but she offered to provide a fuller explanation later.
Verizon has noted that to get the free update, the Droid device needs to have 40% or more power available if it's not connected to an external power source and 20% power available to it if connected to a power source.

Just the Facts :: Who Is Family Now?
Who Is Family Now?
Mixed-race couples, single parents, unmarried couples raising children, divorces—they're increasingly part of the new "normal."
The Recession Has Changed Families
The recession that started in 2008 accelerated trends that were already developing. Young people at the start of their careers are having a hard time making ends meet. And 63 percent of workers ages 50 to 61 say the recession means they'll put off retirement.
One Income Can't Pay the Bills Anymore
As recently as 1980, a family of three could get by on the income of one parent—as long as that parent was male. Now that income won't even cover the average family's expenditures, let alone the things we've come to associate with a middle-class life, such as adequate housing or paying for a child's college education.

It could have been so much fun. And now most of the media won't even touch it.
Carl Bernstein, The Guardian:
So now we have it: what appears to be hard, irrefutable evidence of Rupert Murdoch's ultimate and most audacious attempt – thwarted, thankfully, by circumstance – to hijack America's democratic institutions on a scale equal to his success in kidnapping and corrupting the essential democratic institutions of Great Britain through money, influence and wholesale abuse of the privileges of a free press.
In the American instance, Murdoch's goal seems to have been nothing less than using his media empire – notably Fox News – to stealthily recruit, bankroll and support the presidential candidacy of General David Petraeus in the 2012 election.
Fox News' inventor and president, Roger Ailes, dispatched an emissary to Afghanistan to urge Petraeus to turn down President Obama's expected offer to become CIA director and, instead, run for the Republican nomination for president, with promises of being bankrolled by Murdoch
Just imagine if the bio-bimbo story had emerged mid-campaign.
You can hear Kathleen MacFarland of FOX deliver the offer here:
"The big boss is bankrolling it. Roger's going to run it. And the rest of us are going to be your in-house"
By the way, I predicted that the Republicans would run Petraeus. This shows how close I was.

I first met Shannon Vance, from Stash Style, a few years ago when she started showing her line at the Dallas Market Vintage FINDS venue. One thing I've learned, as I've gotten to know this petite and soft spoken woman, is she's a creative powerhouse. Shannon, a self made artist and trend setter, along with her partner, Elton, have made quite a name for themselves within the vintage community and beyond. They sell at numerous shows each year including Round Top's Antique Week. Their keen sense of style and ingenuity bodes them well in their procuring of vintage boots, flannel shirts, selvedge jeans and vintage military wear. The two have become favored purveyors throughout U.S. shows and markets. Additionally, they have added candles, silk screened T-shirts, restaurant ware coffee mugs, totes and zippered bags (all made in the U.S.A.) to their line.
Soft and easy to care for.
Besides invoking a smile to your face and their usefulness in the domestic arena, the towels also make great gifts. Who wouldn't want one of these as an addition to their kitchen?
P.S. If you are planning a trip to Round Top in the spring, be sure to seek out Stash Style at at Zapp Hall. Also, while you're at it why not hop on over to Stash Style's website or visit their Instagram feed and take a peek at their entire selection of vintage and vintage inspired goods.

Yes, you can jump for better health
By the time you've reached my age, your jumping days are pretty much over. Kids jump (and always appear to have a good time doing it). We adults use step-stools and ladders on those rare occasions when we must leave the ground.
Admittedly, little daylight passed between the bottoms of my shoes and the floor even in my younger days, when I played a lot of pickup basketball in high school and college. I've been thick-legged and earth-bound since I can remember, conditions that have only grown worse as I've reached my mid-50s.
Nevertheless, in honor of the young men skywalking across my big screen in the NCAA Tournament these past few weeks, I decided to determine whether my vertical challenges are immutable or might be addressed by the right kind of training.
That's sort of how I came to meet Brandon Todd. Todd had e-mailed me just a week or two earlier, trying to interest me in writing about his prowess in this area. At 5-foot-5, 205 pounds and 27 years old, Todd can still dunk easily, something he says he has been doing since he was an adolescent.
"That's so yesterday," I wrote back, or words to that effect. Five-foot-seven-inch Spud Webb won the NBA slam dunk contest way back in 1986, and 5-foot-9-inch Nate Robinson has won it three times. If Todd really wanted to prove his merit, I told him, he should show he can get a 55-year-old overweight man into the air.
At first he thought I was kidding. "I'm positive I can get you two, three inches," he wrote. "At least four [or] five sheets of computer paper." Once I persuaded him I was serious, he leapt at the chance. "I could def get you inches!!" he wrote back, and we were on.
Spoiler alert: My three-hour-long sessions with Todd were not enough to provide a fair test of his expertise, so we didn't measure my vertical leap before and after. But they were enough to trash the lower half of my body and my lower back -- in that good way you feel after a completely exhausting workout.
There is no magic trick that will turn you into Dr. Dunkenstein. It's all about hard work and natural gifts. But jumping is a terrific, full-body exercise. "You use your arm swing. You use your core. You use your glutes. You use your hamstrings. You use your quads. You use the tendons around your ankles," Todd said. "It's almost like swimming."
Almost. But in the pool you don't jump 20 times holding an eight-pound medicine ball over your head, do single-leg step-ups, leg extensions and contractions, burpees, squat jumps, deep squats and reverse squats.
Todd is big on squats. His go-to training move is the reverse squat. I must have done a couple hundred of those over three workouts that reduced me to a panting, sweaty mess. If you'd like to try this, squat and put your finger tips on the floor between your feet. Keep them on the floor as you straighten your legs and lift your rear end as high as possible. Do that 20 times and you'll feel a burn in your hamstrings that will remind you how little you use those muscles in everyday life.
Todd says he has been "obsessed" with jumping since he was a child. "Short man syndrome," he told me during our first workout in the Dynamic Fitness gym in Frederick, Md., where he is a physical trainer. (He also works at another facility in Silver Spring, Md.) As a kid, Todd bought every junk science and snake-oil program that promised to improve his leaping ability, but he didn't have his epiphany until, by chance, he happened to see video of an Eastern Bloc weightlifter jumping for joy after a successful lift.
The guy must have weighed 300 pounds, Todd recalls, and was probably 40 inches in the air. That's when he realized what it was going to take to get way up. He began reading everything he could about jumping workouts and eventually cobbled together his own program.
Todd says he first dunked at 13, when he was 5-foot-2. He played high school ball and starred at Division III Muskingum College in Ohio. Then he became a physical trainer, with a specialty in jumping.
Todd told me that, with only a little variation, he would have put me through similar training if I had told him my goal was to become a better football player, baseball player or golfer.
"We create explosion, endurance and quickness," he says, "which is deadly in any sport."

LONDON - Double Olympic distance champion Mo Farah will run the 3,000 metres at the British Athletics Grand Prix in Birmingham on February 16, his only indoor race in 2013, organisers said on Thursday.
Farah, Olympic 5,000m and 10,000m champion, finished fourth in the 3,000m at the world indoor championships in Istanbul last March having twice won European indoor championship gold over the distance. "I always love running in Birmingham and have fond memories of celebrating my Olympic success with the British fans at Alexander Stadium last August," Farah said in a statement.
"I always run well at the National Indoor Arena. I won this meet in 2007, 2009 and 2011 and that's what I'll be aiming to do for next month." Looking ahead to the defence of his world outdoor 5,000m title in Moscow August, Farah believes that competing in Birmingham is an important part of his preparations.
"The big focus this year is the world championships. I've had a good winter training block and the British Athletics Grand Prix will be the first time that I compete this year, so I'm looking forward to getting back on the track in front of a home crowd."

In 2011, Hollywood will rely on former glories to a greater degree than ever before. Sequels (including prequels and spin-offs) comprise over a fifth of the currently scheduled nationwide releases, tallying 27. Last year, there were 19, and the previous high was 24 in 2003.
Of the 27 sequels, nine are second movies (Cars 2, Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules, The Hangover Part II, Happy Feet 2, Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil, Johnny English Reborn, Kung Fu Panda 2, Piranha 3DD, Sherlock Holmes 2), up from eight in 2010. Five are third movies (Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son, Madea's Big Happy Family, Paranormal Activity 3, Transformers: Dark of the Moon), down from seven in 2010.
Deeper cut sequels will be well represented all the way up to No. 8. There'll be the highest number of fourth movies ever, tallying five (Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Scream 4, Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part One)). Fifth movies will also have their largest showing yet, numbering five (Fast Five, Final Destination 5, Puss in Boots, X-Men: First Class, Winnie the Pooh). There will also technically be two seventh movies (The Muppets, Rise of the Apes) and one mighty eighth entry (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two). (None of this is counting New Year's Eve, which may or may not be a sequel to Valentine's Day, or The Thing, which may be a prequel.)
The majority of sequels are repeats of the last two years: Eight movies follow 2009 movies, while six follow 2010 movies. Sequels to 2006 movies are the next best represented at five. The longest time between sequels will be The Muppets' 12 years, followed by Scream 4's 11 years, Rise of the Apes's ten years and around eight years each for Spy Kids 4 and Johnny English Reborn. None of those are a match for the waits for last year's Tron Legacy (over 28 years) and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (nearly 23 years).
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part Two) (July 15) is heralded as the finale of the blockbuster series, and the movie that will take Harry Potter past Star Wars to become the top-grossing franchise ever (though it will still trail in attendance). In Box Office Mojo's reader polling, Deathly Hallows (Part Two) is by far the most anticipated movie of 2011 (with over 36 percent of the vote) and is expected to be the biggest-grossing movie of the year (nearly 51 percent). Harry Potter, though, is coming off of a soft note for the penultimate Potter, Deathly Hallows Part 1, which grossed less than its predecessor and marked the least-attended Potter yet.
A more optimistic perspective would be that Deathly Hallows Part 1 did a hell of a lot of business for half a movie, and fans are still expected to be out in force for the finale (which will be the first to carry a 3D ticket price premium). For instance, the last Star Wars trilogy took an even greater hit with Attack of the Clones and then rebounded with the Revenge of the Sith finale. The first Harry Potter currently stands as the series' mightiest with $317.6 million (the equivalent of around $440 million adjusted for ticket price inflation).
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (July 1) strikes Independence Day weekend just like its blockbuster predecessors Transformers ($319.2 million) from 2007 and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen ($402.1 million) from 2009. Revenge of the Fallen benefitted from the good will generated by the first Transformers, but it also let down many fans, likely cooling excitement for this third entry (even if it's in 3D). Dark of the Moon's teaser trailer doesn't reveal itself as a Transformers movie until the end of a long build-up involving the first Apollo mission to the moon. While that might have been an intriguing approach for another movie, it didn't seem any different than the previous Transformers movies (a transmission from a mission to Mars was a big part of the first movie's promotions).
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (May 20) docks four years after the franchise's momentum slowed with At World's End ($309.4 million), which was off 27 percent from Dead Man's Chest ($423.3 million). Unlike At World's End, On Stranger Tides won't be burdened by the shackles of a continuing storyline, offering more of Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow antics (free of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley) as he searches for the Fountain of Youth. The movie's first trailer, though, is just that: more Sparrow. And, thus far, it may be lacking in excitement and spectacle to fully re-fire up the base, despite the 3D.
The first half of the summer sees four other major sequels. The Hangover Part II (May 26) and Kung Fu Panda 2 (May 27) duke it out over Memorial Day weekend. The former will try to avoid the common comedy sequel pitfall (which Little Fockers and Sex and the City 2 fell in to), while the latter marks DreamWorks Animation's third stab at sequelization and hopes to be more Shrek 2 than Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Prequel X-Men: First Class strikes the week after, but without the franchise's most popular character Wolverine, who struck out with his own prequel in 2009. Pixar's second attempt at sequelization after Toy Story, the merchandise-driven Cars 2, starts on June 24, aiming to build on the first Cars' $244.1 million haul.
Like On Stranger Tides, Breaking Dawn (Part One) (Nov. 18) follows a trilogy, but one that ended on a high note: with $300.5 million, third entry Eclipse pulled off the rare feat of out-grossing the second entry New Moon. Breaking Dawn returns to the pre-Thanksgiving slot of the first Twilight and New Moon (and formerly Harry Potter), but will have the longest wait yet (17 months). Add in a reportedly mixed fan reaction to the novel and how being broken in two didn't help Deathly Hallows Part 1, and it wouldn't be surprising if interest ebbs for Breaking Dawn.
On Dec. 16, three big-time sequels are scheduled to face-off (Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, Sherlock Holmes 2, Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol), but expect one of them to flinch. Mission seems the likeliest candidate, given that it was the last one scheduled and that the first three Missions were all May releases, while Alvin and Sherlock are in their established Christmas homes. The new Mission also strays from its numerically-titled predecessors by adding the potentially awkward Ghost Protocol subtitle. Still, since Mission: Impossible III was by far the worst-performing Mission, the franchise was due for a shake-up if it was going to continue. To that end, director Brad Bird (Ratatouille, The Incredibles) will be making his live-action debut, and Jeremy Renner reportedly joins Tom Cruise as co-lead.
In the shadow of Avatar, the first Sherlock Holmes grossed a substantial $209 million, potentially starting a second franchise for star Robert Downey, Jr. after Iron Man. The first Sherlock wasn't as dear to audiences as Iron Man, and, if it is to retain the audience or grow, Sherlock 2 cannot rest on the brand's laurels like Iron Man 2 did. A positive sign is that Holmes will contend with his most famous nemesis, Professor Moriarty, and a strong villain is known to boost business (example: The Dark Knight). The third Chipmunks movie will be the first in 3D, and the franchise has been remarkably successful so far: the first two movies are the top two grossing talking-animal comedies of all time, and The Squeakquel retained nearly all of the first movie's attendance when such sequels usually fizzle (like with Stuart Little and Garfield). Chipwrecked's premise is currently unknown, but it will be tough for it to top its predecessors.
Fast Five gets a jump on the summer with its April 29 release, although that late April period has been troublesome in the past (XXX: State of the Union, Volcano, etc.). This fifth entry in The Fast and the Furious franchise hopes to be fueled by Fast and Furious's injection: that fourth movie accelerated to an April opening record ($71 million), more than the final haul of Tokyo Drift ($62.5 million), and went on to become the franchise's top grosser at $155.1 million (ranking second to the first movie in attendance). Fast and Furious was marketed as a return to the first movie (parts two and three lacked Vin Diesel, part three lacked Paul Walker, etc.), and Fast Five will continue that theme, pitched as an "all stars" gathering from each movie with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson added to the mix for an Expendables-style showdown of would-be action stars Diesel and Johnson.
Not to be forgotten is horror, which is historically the genre best known for going hog wild with sequels. Scream 4 (April 15) rises eleven years after Scream 3 was supposed to have wrapped up the series. Key cast members Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox return along with a bevy of familiar new faces, and the marketing has ran with the "New Decade. New Rules" angle. Scream 3 had worse retention than Scream 2, but, overall, the Scream franchise's box office held up well. After dethroning Saw as the new Halloween tradition, Paranormal Activity continues with its third entry on Oct. 22, and business should continue to decline. More gruesome deaths in 3D are on tap with Final Destination 5 (Aug. 26), despite the fourth movie being pushed as the final Final Destination (its franchise-high grosses changed that tune). Meanwhile, Piranha 3DD (Sept. 16) is getting churned out just over a year after predecessor Piranha 3D grossed a gutless $25 million, though it will be opening just two weeks after The Final Destination director David R. Ellis's Untitled 3D Shark Thriller.

This week SK Options Trading is proud to announce its biggest winner yet, as we close a trade with over a 212% profit in under 3 weeks! This beat out our previous record of 197.14% in August 2011.
We believed that Hecla Mining had yet to catch up to the price falls in precious metals in early February, and that it would be particularly vulnerable to a drop in silver prices based on rigorous analysis of their mining projects.
To take advantage of the impending fall, we signalled to our subscribers to "buy HL Sep 21 '13 $4 puts at $0.16 with 5% of our capital allocated"; a trade that we believed offered the best risk-reward dynamics.
As the chart above shows, SK Options Trading bought puts at just before a major fall of over 20% occurred in the price of Hecla shares. This was in line with the fall in silver that we expected and the catch up that Hecla would have to play.
We wrote a few weeks ago about how the gold bull market may now be over; with silver correlating strongly with gold for so long the end of the gold bull market would undoubtedly play havoc with silver prices as well. With prices breaking down through the past month, we believed that a large fall in the price of silver should be expected as well.
A fall in silver prices would effect the Hecla share price; as this had not occured in a major way by February 15th, by which point silver was down 6.3% for the month, we belived that the HL Puts offered too actractive risk-reward dynamics to pass up.
The fall in Hecla proved our prediction correct, and as a result our subscribers more than tripled their investment! Not only did we pick the movement of Hecla correctly, but we outperformed a short position on the stock by nearly 10 times over!
Over that same time period we could have shorted silver to take advantage of the falling prices; instead our puts gave us returns that were more than 50 times greater than a silver short! This is in line with SK Options Trading history of outperfroming the next best vehicle, such as being long or short the underling. We previously have done this on a number of occasions, repaeatedly outperforming other gold trading vehicles and outperforming the S&P by 8 times.
If one had invested just $1000 in this trade they would have made profits of $2125, a number that would have paid for a 6 month subscription more than 4 times over in just one trade!
This is the fourth consecutive profitable trade that we have closed so far this year; with those 4 trades alone our portfolio is up 16.49% in 2013.
We have an annualized return of 63.72%, and on average a trade returns 31.02% in 52.62 days. In the three and a half years since we began trading we have closed 117 trades, 86.32% of which have been winners. Our model portfolio is up a grand total of 485.08% in that time period.
You can join the winning team today; all it will cost you is $499 for 6 months or $799 for 12 months. Simply click subscribe on either of the buttons below, purchase a subscription, and you will be on the SK Options Trading subscriber list.

When you're visiting Queensland, keep an eye out for local markets. These pop up events are your opportunity to taste local produce, buy hand-made knick-knacks and listen to live music.
Queensland is blessed with fresh produce from the Atherton Tablelands in Cairns and all the way south to the food and wine region of Southern Queensland Country. So, it's very common to stumble across fresh fruit and vegetable markets across the state. Check out: The Eumundi Markets in the Sunshine Coast is actually a collection of five markets in one. With stalls as far as the eye can see you can pick up knick-knacks, fresh produce, homeware and clothing or dine on international cuisines. You can even dine on everything from freshly made French crepes and German sausages to Brazilian acai bowls and Sunshine Coast cheese and cured meats. Eumundi Markets are open on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
The Jan Power's Farmers Market in Brisbane City is the place to pick up fresh fruit and vegetables and healthy lunch if you're wondering through the city. The markets are located on the top of Queen Street (in front of the Treasury Casino) and are buzzing with stalls and patrons every Wednesday.
Weekend markets are the best way to spend a lazy Saturday or Sunday. Find food, art, clothing and jewellery stalls in coastal cities like Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast and Agnes Waters in Gladstone. These are some local spots to meet up and hang out with friends and family:
If you're in Brisbane and are looking for a different kind of night out, head to the Eat Street Markets for live music and great food from around the world. Or, if you're looking to pick up a souvenir or knick-knack, head to a community or flea market. Here are our top picks:

Company Provides Vaccinations and Prevention Tips
WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- With flu season just around the corner, Fresenius Medical Care North America (FMCNA), the nation's leading network of dialysis facilities, is urging dialysis patients to get flu shots to protect themselves against this common infectious disease. In October, FMCNA will begin offering at no cost to all of its dialysis patients and staff, flu vaccinations, which protect against both seasonal flu and H1N1 swine flu.
While many flu sufferers experience relatively minor symptoms – including fatigue, fever and chills, headache and body aches, nasal congestion and coughing – the flu can pose a much more serious health threat to dialysis patients, whose weakened immune systems make them susceptible to pneumonia and other life-threatening complications.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, particularly older adults and those on dialysis, to be vaccinated against the flu every year. CKD is a progressive, usually permanent loss of kidney function. Many people who have CKD are still in the early stages of the disease, but by the time CKD leads to kidney failure, or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), the only treatments are a kidney transplant or dialysis.
Dialysis is a life-sustaining process that cleans waste products from the blood, removes extra fluids and controls the body's chemistry when a person's kidneys fail. Dialysis patients typically require treatment on an ongoing basis unless they receive a kidney transplant.
"It's important for all kidney patients to be vaccinated against the flu because of the serious health complications it can cause," says Dr. Jeffrey L. Hymes, MD, Senior Vice President and Associate Chief Medical Officer at FMCNA. "We also urge patients and medical staff to take precautions to protect themselves from catching and spreading flu viruses."
Patients should inquire at their local dialysis clinic about specific vaccination opportunities near them. Besides getting a flu shot, Fresenius Medical Care offers these tips to help dialysis patients avoid catching, or spreading, the flu this season:
- Flu viruses is transmitted mainly by airborne droplets, so remember to cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze – and dispose of used tissues properly.
- Wash your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer after coughing, sneezing or using a tissue.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- If you have signs of the flu when you come in for dialysis, tell your caregivers before entering the clinic, so that they can provide you with a mask to protect other patients and staff.
- If you get a flu shot elsewhere, let your caregiver know, so that they can include this information in your medical records.
FMCNA's flu vaccination initiative demonstrates the company's UltraCare® mission of delivering excellent, patient-centered care through innovative programs, the latest technology, continuous quality improvement and a focus on superior customer service.
About Fresenius Medical Care
Fresenius Medical Care (NYSE: FMS) is the world's leading company devoted to patient-centered renal therapy. Through more than 3,119 clinics in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and Africa, we provide kidney dialysis treatments to approximately 253,000 patients worldwide. We are also the world's leading maker of dialysis products, such as dialysis machines, dialyzers and related disposable products. Chronic kidney failure is a condition that affects more than 2.1 million individuals worldwide.

LocalUp necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 96 diseños de 31 diseñadores freelance.
LocalUp Solutions
Hi - My name is Chris Jeffery and I'm the CEO of LocalUp Solutions. We are a spin off of my original company called YNot Advertising, where we launched several local search engines that enable local restaurant search and ordering. LocalUp Solutions is taking the software we have built and licensing it out on large scale to entreprenuers and media companies in all types of communities. We provide a CMS and an online ordering platform today, but are looking to expand upon that offering with new features and functionality. We enable local search and we are looking for a simple, but very professional logo and icon we can use as our corporate identity. LocalUp is a small, cutting edge and the logo needs to portray this as well.
Thank you!
Local Entrepreneurs + Media Companies
We target individuals who want to launch a localized restaurant portal and ordering platform (ie BtownMenus.com). We also target media companies to either replace their existing dining guide platform or launch a new dining guide. Radio stations or conglomerates and newspaper companies or conglomerates are also a target market for us (ie targeting letseatpa.com and replacing what they have with our software). We provide both target audiences with the platform and technology as well as the marketing, sales and business operations training to be successful with the software and business model.
Our existing sites have targeted collegiate markets exclusively, but we are now starting to target non-collegiate markets, such as Hoboken, NJ. So if you look at Ynotadvertising.com, you will see that our sites are focused in collegiate markets, but we have had many leads outside of the collegiate market.
We are simply looking for a great logo and icon or symbol for our company. I really like Joomla! and how simple, but yet sophisticated their image is. Colors are not that important to me, but I would stay away from Red an Green.
Originally I was thinking about incorporating an up arrow, but that seems too cliche. I would like to have the "solutions" word be in all caps, but a smaller font. I really do like the bing font, but it does not have to be the exact same. It's clean and professional.

A Look at Case-Shiller by Metro Area
Home prices extended a winning streak in November, with 2013 shaping as the best year for gains since 2005, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller indexes.
The composite 20-city home price index, a key gauge of U.S. home prices, was up 13.7% in November from a year earlier. All 20 cities have posted year-over-year gains for 11 straight months.
