OOIDA, Joe Rajkovacz and Carl Schaefer Jr. – plaintiffs in a class action that accused a grocery retail giant of coercive unloading practices – reached a tentative settlement in May with Supervalu Inc.
The settlement, if approved by the court, would permanently enjoin Supervalu from certain practices.
The legal action, filed in 2005 in the U.S. District Court for Minnesota, challenged Supervalu's policy of requiring drivers to show proof of insurance coverage grossly over and above what was required by federal statute and regulation. Without that insurance, truckers had no choice but to use the only lumping service available to unload Supervalu's cargo; they could not unload it themselves.
OOIDA member and plaintiff Joe Rajkovacz said the proposed settlement agreement made unnecessary a trial scheduled for mid-May. Rajkovacz, who is also OOIDA's regulatory affairs specialist, described the outcome as "one that bears hefty significance for truck drivers."
"For all truckers, this settlement means that the practice by receivers of posting ludicrous insurance requirements as a method of forcing them to pay for unloading is a violation of the unloading statute," he said.
The case is being handled for OOIDA by the Association's litigation counsel in Washington, DC.
"Because the case is a class action, it cannot be settled without court approval," said Randy Herrick-Stare, trial attorney for The Cullen Law Firm.
Herrick-Stare said the proposed settlement contemplates the entry of an injunction; an appeal of, among others, a district court ruling that the unloading statute does not provide a remedy of restitution (reimbursement) for wrongly required payments by drivers to lumpers; and the deferring until after the appeal of any award of attorney fees.
In addition, Herrick-Stare said the parties jointly will request the court to provide preliminary approval of the terms of the settlement, order notice of its terms to be provided to the class, and set a date for a "fairness hearing" at which time any members of the class opposing the settlement may be heard.
"Those in the supply chain that view truckers as a profit center when it comes to unloading would be wise to reconsider their policies," said OOIDA's Rajkovacz, anticipating a speedy approval by the court. LL

To most people, Robert Herjavec is best known as "the nice shark" on ABC's hit business and entrepreneur show, "Shark Tank." Newer fans may know him from his stint on last season's "Dancing with the Stars." Within the business world, he is highly respected as the Founder and CEO of Herjavec Group, a global information security services company very recently ranked #2 on the Cybersecurity 500.
Herjavec previously had two best-selling books in Canada and "You Don't Have to Be a Shark: Creating Your Own Success" is his first US book release published May 17. In his third publishing effort, the book was instantly in the Top 100 and trending upwards. What else would you expect from one of the most savvy and likable entrepreneurs in the world? Herjavec took the time to tell City Brand Media about his new book and how anyone can be successful if they know where to focus their attention, understand their strengths and weaknesses and are able to take calculated risks. "You Don't Have to Be a Shark" almost reads like a love letter to salespeople and entrepreneurs from a trusted and respected man who has seen just about everything in business.
The idea of the book was born out of a belief. "It all stemmed from a conversation I had with an executive at ABC," Herjavec explains. "She mentioned that she wished she was born to sell like I was and I corrected her. I don't believe that you're born to be successful, born to be an entrepreneur or born to sell. I think you can make yourself into anything you set your mind to."
He continues, "We turned the idea into a segment for ABC's '20/20' and the response was incredible. I knew we had a concept we could work with and so I started pitching a book. 'You Don't Have to be a Shark' is all about sales tips for the non sales person. It teaches you how to create your own success – no matter your situation and business experience."
Reading the book will be a breeze for anyone who has any interest in sales or the business world. Written in a no-nonsense, yet friendly way, it is one book that is hard to put down. Chock-full of stories from Herjavec's childhood and through his stellar career today, readers will take away value from the lessons he's learned in life and business. From a not-so-pleasant memory surrounding a vacuum cleaner salesman to the importance of a business owner being able to "pivot" as the business climate shifts, Herjavec weaves a colorful and ultimately valuable tapestry with indelible threads of wisdom that should be referred to often, especially for those in sales.
Herjavec also gives words of advice to those entrepreneurs getting ready to take on the often unforgiving business world. "You have to be ready to face it all. Honestly," he says. "Financing will be an issue, work life balance will be non-existent, you'll have employees that are a challenge and customers will leave you. The worst case scenarios will happen. But, you have to be resilient. The biggest challenge is staying resilient and bouncing back. In today's climate every competitor has access to the same resources as you. The internet and IOT have leveled the playing field completely."
At City Brand Media, the company values networking while fostering positive personal and business relationships and partnerships. Herjavec also asserts the value of a good network. "Networking is important because you have to build human relationships in order to progress," states Herjavec. "That's why it's imperative you can sell yourself. You don't want to overdo it, and you have to be genuine. But you've got to demonstrate your value." "You Don't Have to Be a Shark" serves as an encouraging and realistic roadmap to keep your business mindset on the right path. "You Don't Have to Be a Shark: Creating Your Own Success" is available now at Amazon.com.

Garden of Life Perfect FoodÛ Super Green Formula 140 Grams
UPC Code: 658010111546
Weight: 0.56
One serving of Perfect Food Super Green Powder is equivalent to 140g of fresh grass juice. Excellent source of natural Vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene and a good source of natural Vitamin C. Contains spirulina that supports healthy immune function.* Contains algae and cereal grasses that provide a natural source of alkalizing minerals.
Retail Price: $26.98
Nearly every major health organization recommends eating five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables per day to maintain health. Yet, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, less than nine percent of American adults consume the recommended number of servings.
One way to make sure you are receiving the nutritional benefits of multiple servings of fruits and vegetables is through green food supplementation. Perfect Food Super Green Formula has more greens per serving than other leading green food formulas. Other formulas often load their products with non-greens and fillers. While many of these non-greens are important and have a definite nutritional benefit, no other type of food source provides the nutritional benefit of green foods. That is why Perfect Food Super Green Formula Powder contains over 8000mg of greens per serving.
Super green foods is a term usually used to describe young cereal grasses such as wheat, barley, oats and alfalfa, as well as spirulina, chlorella, kelp and other sea vegetables.
A diet comprised of super green foods enables grass-eating animals to continually maintain their weight, strength, and vibrant health.
The whole foods found in Perfect FoodÛ provide vitamins and minerals as nature intended, but it goes beyond just that. Perfect Food also delivers naturally occurring cofactors and synergistic compounds by utilizing concentrates and juices instead of extracts and isolates.
Whole foods and their concentrates are ingredients on which no chemical extraction has been performed. When nutrients are stripped of their cofactors as a result of extraction, it may alter the nutrients utilization. In addition, these cofactors might have additional antioxidant benefits. In contrast, most widely available vitamin and mineral supplements are made from fractionated, isolated or synthetic sources that can potentially create an environment of biochemical imbalances.
For optimal health, theres nothing better than nutrient-rich, unprocessed whole foods in their balanced, natural state, like those found in Perfect Food.
Directions: Adults mix one level scoop (2 tablespoons) in 8 ounces of water or juice, 1 (or more) times per day. Begin with 1/4 serving for the first few days gradually working up to full serving size.

Man attacked by a shark in NSW
A man has had a close encounter with a shark in northern NSW.
Paramedics were called to a boat ramp at South West Rocks, north of Port Macquarie, about 4.50pm on Sunday after reports a man had been bitten by a shark, a spokesman for the Ambulance Service of NSW said.
The man told them he had been bitten by a grey nurse shark, and he was taken to hospital suffering small bite marks, the spokesman said.
A spokeswoman for Port Macquarie Base Hospital said the 31-year-old man was in a stable condition with minor injuries.
An employee at a local dive shop, who asked not to be named, said divers had told him the man was spearfishing at Green Island, just off shore.
"He had a dead fish strapped to him and a shark gave him a nudge," he said.
"I think he was swimming around for a while."
Inspector Shane Cribb, of Mid North Coast local area command, said it was a very minor incident.
"He got nudged by a shark. He didn't even require stitches."
Inspector Cribb couldn't say whether the man was a spear fisherman because police involvement was minimal.
Beaches in the area remain open, a spokeswoman for Kempsey Shire Council said.

So, the first two open source projects I was involved in have a fairly similar work flow, and I decided to write down the steps to get started in these projects.
Both Processing and Popcorn have fairly good intro sites, and I would start there. Popcorn also have secondary site that is useful. Also might want to check out the original Processing. Those sites provide a general introduction on the projects, and not something I will be covering here.
Both projects have four primary things, an issue tracker, a source repository, revision control, and a developer community.
An issue tracker is where bugs and new features get tracked, assigned, and reviewed. Both projects use something called lighthouse as their issue tracker. These can be found here for popcorn and here for processing. Issues can be anything from whitespace fixes, to documentation changes to complete rewrites. The pages I liked are the recent activity pages. You may want to look under milestones to get a list of potential tickets.
A source repository is a place where the code is stored and updated. Both projects use github as their source repository. These can be found here for popcorn and here for processing. Those are our release repos, in that they only get updated once for each release. If you want the unreleased code, you have to get that from a separate repo. These can be found here for popcorn and here for processing. We call these development branches.
Both projects use git for revision control. It goes hand in hand with github, but I do feel like it is a different thing. Source repository is where the code is kept, and revision control are the tools that interact with it. This is how I like to think of it, as it helps me understand it the way I need to work with it. I might not be technically correct with the definitions, though. Kinda like how the alphabet is not actually a song, but a song helps to understand it.
Both projects use irc for their developer community. This is the place you can go to get real time help from the people that have the answers. Popcorn uses the channel #popcorn and processing #processing.js. These can be found on the server irc.mozilla.org. More information about connecting to irc can be found here or here.
Now that that is out of the way, you will want to create a github account if you don't already have one, then fork one of the projects from their github page. You will probably want to fork one of the development repos.
From there, you will need to get that github repo onto your local machine. I used this post when I started this, and I recommend it to others.
Next step is to find a bug on one of the lighthouse pages. Maybe comment in the bug that you are interested in working on it, so others know not to work on it as well.
You will want to create a branch on your local git repo named after your bug number. So, if my bug is popcorn bug #927 I will want to create a branch called t927. We add the t because code commits can be shorthanded to numbers, and there may be collisions in branch names and commits. Always good practice to but a letter in it. You can do this by running this command:
git branch t927 develop
git checkout t927
What this does is created a branch named t927 that is based off the branch develop. Then, moves you over to that branch.
Next you can go about changing the code in your local git repo. Once done, you will want to run some git commands.
1. git status: this shows the files that have changed, that you may need to commit.
2. git add: this adds those files. If you notice running git status after a git add, things will of changed.
3. git commit: this commits those added files. Again, running git status after this, you should see even more changes. I like to run this command like this:
git commit -m "[#927] usefull message about what I did"
This will add a message to the commit, so future developers can see why certain lines were changed, and even track it back to the original lighthouse ticket.
4. git push: this pushes the changes into your forked github repo. An example of this command for when I do it is:
git push email@example.com:ScottDowne/popcorn-js.git t927
This command takes the ssh url of my repo, and a name to name for the branch. After doing this, I could find my branch here: https://github.com/ScottDowne/popcorn-js/tree/t927 and my changes here: https://github.com/ScottDowne/popcorn-js/commits/t927
From here you will want to take one of those two urls and drop it back intp the lighthouse ticket, as a comment, and change the status to peer-review-requested. Both projects have a two step review process. Peer-review and super-review. Once both reviews passed, the repo manager will pull your changes into develop, and then on release day, everything including your changes will be pulled into master.

Welcome To ASBMB
The Society aims to advance Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in Australia, facilitating research and education, and interfacing with business and the community. Biochemistry and molecular biology represent the study of the structures and processes that form the foundation for all living matter. They draw on techniques from biology, chemistry and physics, providing a key interface between these fields. Biochemists and molecular biologists investigate all forms of life, such as viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungi, plants and animals. Much of this research examines life at the cellular and subcellular level.
The field is progressing at a breathtaking rate. In 1953, the double-helical structure of DNA (the storage molecule for inherited biological information) was discovered. Only 50 years later, the complete human genetic sequence was determined and the significance of the entire code in terms of cell and tissue function is now being uncovered. For example, we have learnt many new details about genes involved in human disease, providing important insights that lead to the development of treatments and cures. The possibilities of discovery in the field continue to expand.Learn More

Mattie was the oldest child and only daughter of Emily's older sister Amy (Squires) Knox. Amy and her husband Thomas were solid fixtures in California where Thomas had served for many years as Postmaster and Mayor of Livermore and then as a County Supervisor. Mattie had not remained in California however, moving to Canada soon after marrying Edward Latimer in 1906.
Fortunately, Emily kept a diary of her trip and so we learn directly from her that on Saturday, May 6, 1933, she arrived in Toronto at 7:45 a.m. to a downpour where she was welcomed and greeted by Charlotte (Latimer) Mullett, the sister of Edward Latimer, Charlotte's daughter Doris Mullett, and Albertine 'Abby' Latimer, Edward and Mattie's eldest child who would accompany Aunt Emily to Orillia for her visit.
(left to right, Tess Latimer, Albertine 'Abby' Latimer, Emily (Squires) Wiggin, and Mattie (Knox) Latimer)
After a breakfast of coffee and toast, Aunt Emily and Abby reached Orillia by train around noon where they were met by Abby's brother Knox Latimer. As Emily described the visit, "After dinner with Mattie and family, who all gave me a warm welcome, we went through a nearby hospital, then Knox took us, Mattie, Tess [Tess was Ellen's mother Olive Theresa Evelyn (Latimer) Wagner] and me for a ride in a truck to a Park and Statue of Champlain...Hazel and Jack also came over to see me. Had a most enjoyable day."
(Edward Knox Latimer, May 1933, Orillia, Ontario)
(Olive Theresa Evelyn 'Tess' Latimer, aged 13, May 1933, Orillia, Ontario)
Finally, my sincere thanks to Ellen's cousin Pam Marino of Jamestown, California for the previously unseen by us photos and diary pages for which she granted permission for me to share with other family members through this post!

Student Senate hosting Constitutional Conventionby Tim Flowers '06 • October 20, 2004 Share:
For Brett Gann, being the Assistant Director of Wabash's version of "1776" was almost prophetic. After nearly a year spearheading the Student Senate's attempt to write a new constitution, Gann worked daily on a theatrical interpretation of how the United States wrote its current, longstanding document. That familiarity affirmed his desire to leave the Wabash students a lasting document of their own.
"I was given the unique opportunity to experience the American political system at one of its finest moments," Gann, Chair of the Student Senate Constitutional Review Committee, said. "It was inspirational and provided me with renewed vigor in my determination to formalize our governance."
After months of diligent work within the Constitutional Review Committee, Gann and other committee members will present their proposed version at 2 p.m., Oct, 24, in the Goodrich Room in Lilly Library. Senate members will then debate and discuss the proposed guidelines and vote on a final document for ratification.
Gann decided to approach Student Senate President Brandon Hayes '05 about the possibility of writing a new Constitution after the Habitat for Humanity controversy last semester. Student Senate allocated $20,000 for a philanthropic "Blitz Build," where students and faculty came together to build a home for a Crawfordsville family.
The allocation raised procedural questions concerning the appropriateness of the expenditure of student funds on a community project.
Gann believes students deserve a more active role in determining how Senate functions as a governing body.
"We live in a country in which we are guaranteed certain rights and are expected to participate in certain fashions. This is one of those ways. It is my hope that my fellow Wabash students will take from this experience a special pride and feeling of accomplishment in being part of this patriotic practice in self-governance," Gann said. "Also, I hope this experience will energize students and will express that energy through participation in national, state and local elections this November."
Gann studied the current constitution on a point-by-point basis. He evaluated operational guidelines to ensure the Constitutional Review Committee was not completely changing Senate governance. Gann and the committee wanted Senate to operate at its peak efficiency.
In the proposed changes, clubs and Senate committees are more accountable to the general Senate for their actions. The new rules would require them to provide detailed reports to the Senate concerning goals and achievements. Also, prominent clubs and organizations can petition Senate for 'liaison membership', which is a non-voting advisory role. The changes seek to include more students in the governing process.
Some students are waiting to pass judgment on the new constitution until it is formally presented. The fact a convention is being held causes some Wabash men to question how far the process needs to be taken.
"I don't know anything about this new constitution. I will have to evaluate what Senate wants before I can make a final judgment," student Matthew Marett '05 said. "As a voter, I want to make sure my living unit is well represented in the final document. I can say that I think it's a little overboard to have a convention and everything."
Gann credits the current confusions concerning to new constitution timing.
"Outside of the Constitutional Review Committee's membership, I have heard little response to the document. It was released to the Student Senate a few weeks ago and to the community population just prior to fall break," Gann said. "Since I have heard little commentary, I hope that the Student Body and any Wabash community member attend the convention of the Student Senate this weekend. It promises to be a momentous entry into the history of Wabash."
President Brandon Hayes thinks accolades should be given to Gann and his committee for their diligence and imagination throughout this process.
"I think a new constitution is something that needed to be done for a long time and it was a goal of mine to accomplish. The committee has done an extraordinary job of incorporating all aspects that needed to be taken into consideration so I don't have any concerns at this time," Hayes said. "Students should expect a cut and dry explanation of how the Student Senate should be run — something that has never before existed."
As currently written within the proposed constitution, the document will be sent to the respective living-units after being passed by the convention. The document does not become valid until two-thirds of the living units vote to adopt the new governing rules.
Gann is optimistic about the document's chances.
"While not perfect, this Constitution will set in motion a strong system of student government that will survive Wabash for a century to come," Gann said. "If the required two-thirds of the living unites ratify prior to the end of the semester, the Senate will commence its next year with strength and focus."
Flowers is the Board of Publications representative to the Senate and the body's secretary. He also is editor of The Bachelor, Wabash's student newspaper.

Quakke - Evil Ground-Smashing Mutant
While by no means a genius, Quakke is more intelligent than some of the other Mutants. In battle Quakke uses a large Mace which he slams into the ground to cause powerful earthquakes, with effects ranging from knocking an opponent over to splitting apart the ground itself.
Quakke is usually paired with BH, as the two seem to get on well and form an effective duo in battle. They are most often used by Skeletor to carry out his dirty work when he is away from the Mothership. Quakke has also worked with Skeletor on his own. He has a respect for both Flogg and Skeletor, and is often looking to grow more powerful within the Mutant ranks, once joining Staghorn in a mutiny against Flogg after being promised the position of Co-Pilot of the Mothership, and thus, second in command of the Mutants.
Like most other Mutants,Quakke also has a station of his own on the bridge of the Mothership.He took an active role during the Mutant occupation of Primus, trying to track down He-Man.

Aaron Peterson lives in Washington State USA. and has contriubted to various wikis including openwiki.org one of the gentoo wikis and wikipedias metawiki. as of 2010.07 Aaron is a novice programmer, who has done a bit of WMI, Javascript, C, and has followed a few C++ and QT tutorials, so he is very much learning and new to the process.
None currently, Aaron helped wean me from my psychological dependence on kdesrc-build
Aaron generally organizes then polishes, Some users may be offended by misspellings or hanging links to pages that do not exist, and making placeholders for content that he thinks should go there.
He likes using categories whenever possible.
I find that wiki's especially, mediawiki, get misused when in techbase role. It is important to use Categories, and NOT subdirectories so that wiki linking becomes easy. Filing something under Getting Started is a horrible way to do it, because the item will also be related to the [[Topic]] In general, sub pages should be used only if the topic page is too large, and the additional content is exclusive to the topic. I hope to re-arrange the wiki to make it easier to navigate.
Aaron will move content about and adjust sentence structure to get right to the point. He rarely deletes content, rather, prefers to move it to new pages.
I talk a lot, I am learning about projects that i interact with, and hope that I am actually contributing. I want to give a high signal to noise, and I have a lot of time right now (July 2010) and am running with high enthusiasm.
Aaron generally cares a great deal about the projects he works on and would very much enjoy talking with what they are working on, and requests help learning this stuff.
Telephone: 206 334 5925
Part of my creativity comes from experimentation. I try a lot of things, and I believe i have a talent for testing software, and creating user interfaces.
I file a lot of bugs and wishlist items. Often the fix is not trivial, and does not fit exactly in the category I put the item... because I have no idea where it should go. For example, I don't think we should program based on click, double click, drag, I think we need more abstract concepts .
I have filed bugs for bugzilla at mozilla regarding micropayment integration, and I tend to prefer Mantis as a bug/feature tracker. I also very much think that searching for existing bugs should go thru closed bugs and not just open bugs.
Aaron has enjoyed using applications made in KDE and QT for quite some time, and has posted bugs. He would like to be considered a usability contributer and is attempting to set up a build environment to actually fix some of the behavior he cares deeply about.
/tutorials that are good /tutorials that do not work
an example would be a slide-lock on an iphone, a double click, or similar
a confirmation dialog/interuption of user is required.
a confirmation dialog may be requried.
-- The active user interface field is IN the plasmoid, so one less click. (first seen with IE4beta but then removed.. also seen in KDE3)
(wishlist/bug filed: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245124 ) Spent many many hours reading api / source code etc trying to figure this out ;) still
<notmart> MrDarkUser: you reimplement void Applet::createConfigurationInterface(KConfigDialog *parent)
. Need to have a filter on incoming messages, and present a log view. Would like to implement a time and check condition capability, conditions to check would be file is filesize, window has gotten focus, other things to help knotify if it should pop up that annyoing dialog. Also the application can send information like how many it expects to send.
Would like all kinds of things to get logged. Deletion of files, trash cleared..... tons of stuff would be great to keep track of. sorting it would be a pain tho.
kreactor overheard a conversation and started thinking about using it to make a social networking portal alternative -- standards based websites that people put up themselves (already a project) (facebook afterall, is just a glorified, centralized log analyzer that can trigger alarms) We could eventually string all of our instant messages thru our log analyzer, have it show us what we want, and retransmit based on rules if certain conditions are met.
I still don't kknow how Template:Help /kdesrc-build-stories

Mitt Romney is going to be the Republican nominee. And his general election campaign will be an utter disaster for conservatives as he takes the GOP down with him and burns up what it means to be a conservative in the process.So far Romney has appeared to be the most competent GOP candidate.
Mitt Romney, on the other hand, is a man devoid of any principles other than getting himself elected. As much as the American public does not like Barack Obama, they loath a man so fueled with ambition that he will say or do anything to get himself elected. Mitt Romney is that man.So is Obama, and his election disproves Erickson's assertion.
To beat Barack Obama, a candidate must paint a bold contrast with the Democrats on their policies. When Mitt Romney tries, Barack Obama will be able to show that just the other day Mitt Romney held exactly the opposite position as the one he holds today.This is another weak argument. There are plenty of issues on which voters don't necessarily want a "bold contrast" on policy positions, they just want to see competent leadership. I think Romney's flip-flopping on issues is much more important to the GOP conservative base that views him as a RINO, than it will be to the general public. The general public isn't looking for a true conservative. Erickson goes on to argue why Romney is so bad for conservatism at large, arguments which I find unconvincing at best.
Voters may not like Barack Obama, but by the time Obama is done with Romney they will not trust Mitt Romney. And voters would rather the guy they don't like than they guy they don't trust.
Some conservatives, of course, will not go all in for Romney. These conservatives will be blamed by major Republican and "conservative" mouth pieces for not doing enough to help Mitt Romney. They will be alienated, blamed, and made the scapegoat for the failures of the establishment GOP.They'll be blamed because they'll deserve the blame for not supporting the GOP candidate. It will have nothing to do with the GOP establishment. That's a total cop-out. We have a nominating process. It's just too bad that the conservative base couldn't put forth a competent electable candidate. If Romney wins the nomination he's the GOP candidate -- period. If you are a Republican who won't support him, you deserve all the blame you get if Obama wins reelection.

Here is a stumper for any Hubspot users out there.
We are running SEOmoz campaign on the our website (Hubspot Platform) to help make us aware of any technical issues. In doing so we have come across a number of Duplicate content issues with our Hubspot domain.
So here is the issue:
SEOMoz Crawl is seeing A) Blog Homepage - example.com/blog/ as duplicated content in conjunction with B) Duplicate page - example.com/blog/?BBPage=0
From the user perspective you can get to page B by clicking the Next Hyperlink on page A, and then pressing the Previous hyperlink from there. If you view the source canonical tag points at A's url for A (<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/blog/" />, and B's url for B (<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/blog/?BBPage=0" />)
Proposed Solutions,
This particular issue should be resolved in 1of 2 ways.
1) The "Previous" hyperlink should link to page A, not page B. In conjunction, we should then also 301 redirect Page B to Page A. (preferred)
2) Fix the Canonical tag to resolve to Page A. Currently Both A and B resolve to different Canonical tags, and thus appear to SEOmoz, and Google as Duplicate content.
This issue runs rampant on tag and category pages as well and appears to be an oversight in the pagination links between the next and previous link in Hubspot's code. Hubspot has not been very forthcoming or even admitting it is an issue. From everything I have read via Google Webmasters, Matt Cutts, etc. this seems like it is an issue.
Hubspot Support has also not provided a solution or answer as to whether or not this issue will be resolved or conveyed a way to fix the issue.
So my questions for the community are:
1) Is this an issue we even need to worry about? Am I just being paranoid or is this a more serious issue that I should encourage the content team to consider a different solution.
2) Has anyone else run into this with a Hubspot campaign? If so Does anyone know of a solution that can alleviate this? Keep in mind I am limited by the Hubspot hosted version.

Volkswagen Touran
The presented lists contain the data obtained by our system from the previous car rental requests in Angeles - City Centre, Philippines and the nearby locations. Since the prices depend on the season of rental, the actual prices on the requested date may be different from the represented ones.
Ordering a car from a standard group in Angeles - City Centre, Philippines, you make an excellent choice if your budget is limited but you need a spacious, comfortable, and attractive car for 5 passengers. These cars are a little smaller than the full-sized ones but they are on a level when it comes to safety. Generally the standard cars have 4 doors, seats for 5 people and 4 big suitcases in the luggage compartment.
The standard cars are often confused with the Economy group cars. The difference is in larger size of the car itself and its trunk in particular. Also the fuel consumption of the standard car is usually higher by approx. 20% compared to the Economy group. In fact the division into groups is fairly conditional, and you may find a car of the same model in different groups of different car rental companies
Some models of the Standard group are very much alike to the Luxury group car by their features. Besides the car rental companies very often assign a definite car to different classes. For example, a C-class Mercedes with a leather interior will probably be assigned to the Luxury group, and without a leather interior – to the Standard.
Using the list of the available locations near the required Standard pick-up spot, you can easily decide which one will be the most convenient for your rental.
Use the website's search form, please, to find car hire deals in the other locations.
The rental companies provide standard group cars to drivers who are already 21. Carefully check the car rental conditions to avoid misunderstandings. By the way, if a company rents SUVs to drivers under 25, an additional young driver fee is charged.
If your car lacks some options which could be useful during your trip, you can add them when you are ordering. Here is a short list of additional options and equipment you can add to your car if required:
If you want to make sure you get a particular car model in Angeles - City Centre, Philippines, then choose the cars marked with a sign "Guaranteed car model". Otherwise, the rental company may provide you with any car of the same class you ordered, or if there is no car available in this class, the company will provide you with a car of higher class.

OMG! I Got An iPhone!
I don't have an iPhone yet, but the promise of getting one later this week and the fact that people are already starting to line up at Apple stores got me thinking about the pure, unadulterated joy I felt as a kid when I got a new toy. Can iPhone-obsessed adults ever top the infamous kid who got a Nintendo 64 for Christmas? You know, the one who freaked out on home video circa 1996? Well, that kid is all grown up and when I asked my friends how he might react to getting an iPhone, they all jumped at the chance to pay tribute to him. OMG! OMG! OMG! Watch it.
Special thanks to my brilliant actors partysugar and yumjimmy for their enthusiasm and willingness to let their geek flags fly.

CU-Boulder team wins grant to reinvent toilet
August 15, 2012
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A team of student and faculty engineers from the University of Colorado Boulder is among the winners of grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to reinvent the toilet.
The foundation has a competition to invent a waterless, hygienic, safe, affordable toilet for the 2.5 billion people worldwide who don't have access to modern sanitation.
The CU team was awarded $780,000 for its idea in a second round of grant awards announced Tuesday. The CU team's idea involves using concentrated sunlight delivered through a bundle of fiber-optic cables to heat and decompose toilet waste for reuse in improving farm soils.

Student Success Story: Brittany Rocheleau
Brittany Rocheleau, a junior studying Management and Public & Professional Writing, is extremely active on Merrimack's campus. She is consistently occupied as a tutor for the Writing Center and as President of the Women's Rugby team.
Brought to you by The O'Brien Center for Student Success
As seen in the Merrimack College Beacon Newspaper
Brittany Rocheleau, a junior studying Management and Public & Professional Writing, is extremely active on Merrimack's campus. She is consistently occupied as a tutor for the Writing Center and as President of the Women's Rugby team.
The list goes on: Brittany is currently in the Merrimack College Honors Program and was invited to become a member of the honorary, professional fraternity Sigma Iota Epsilon at Merrimack. "I'm also a committee member and a team captain for Relay For Life, an American Cancer Society event held annually at Merrimack," she adds.
Understanding the importance of early career development, Brittany found some time to correspond with the O'Brien Center for Student Success. Her collaboration with the Center helped her to land an exciting internship opportunity for the spring of 2013. She obtained the internship after attending the Massachusetts Conference for Women in Boston in December, where she met and networked with Alexis Sclamberg, a self-help writer, speaker, and media personality, who writes for publications such as Forbes, Huffington Post, and Cosmopolitan.
Brittany has thrived at Merrimack because she dives into opportunities with all her efforts. She credits her Management Professor, Jane Parent, for encouraging her to invite challenges both inside and outside of the classroom. Brittany attributes her acquisition of the internship with Sclamberg to that very mentality. "Ultimately, speaking up is always better than staying silent…I went to the session that [Sclamberg] moderated, and walked straight up to her after. It was great to be able to connect with her in person, ask her directly about the internship, and hand her my resume. I think that initial meeting was a large reason why I landed my internship with Alexis," Brittany said.

Born and raised in Hannibal, Missouri...I stopped maturing at age 12 and I have the radio show to prove it. Authorities found me at age 19 in a corner talking to myself...so they decided to give me a pair of headphones, a microphone and a brand new room (with padded walls) for me to talk to myself in...and they called it radio...and that brings us to today. I have been torturing (I mean "entertaining") listeners for 29 years and have been fortunate to win many Missouri Broadcaster awards along the way...which just proves how much everyone else sucks. Truth is I have the best radio listeners in the world who treat me better than any human being could possibly deserve. And that special relationship we have will continue...at least until K-Mart starts hiring again.

Tricuterie Cutting Board
A fine artist and wood worker, Sean Woolsey resides in Southern California and much like us at Half Hitch Goods, he draws his inspiration from the road. Sean called off his day job a few years ago and took to the road for a year traveling the USA in his VW Vanagon. Like many people before him, Sean had a feeling there was more to life, and he set out to find more. These square wooden boards are constructed entirely by hand by Sean and are made of hard maple and American black walnut and finished with a food safe finish and a wood burned mark with our knot logo. These are both decorative and functional to be used for serving cheeses, tapas, hors d'oeuvres and many other edibles.
Functional wooden objects such as cutting boards are a traditional housewarming or wedding gift because they symbolize stability, harmony, and peace.
**Wood grain and color will vary and some small cracks or knots in the wood might be inherent. Hand wash by lightly rinsing or wiping clean with soap and water. The finish can be preserved by frequently using food grade mineral oil, beeswax or grape seed oil on the finish. Do not soak.

So this has been on my to-do list for a while now. Ever since I got a blow torch I was dying to try my hands on a crème brûlée. I have made lemon curd before so I figured it shouldn't be too far out of my comfort zone. The original recipe for creme brûlée most likely originates from France and here in the UK it's known as burnt cream but essentially it's the same: custard flavoured with vanilla and a hard caramel on top, served cold. You don't have to stick to vanilla though. The Catalan version Crema Catalana incorporates cinnamon and lemon or orange zest. Then last week I got the Donna Hay subscription through and to my surprise I found a 'how to do custard' in there with tips and tricks. So then I really had to give it a go. And here is what happened. It is a lot more complicated and temperature is key. I miserably failed twice. First I tried a recipe where the egg-cream mixture is to set in a water bath in the oven. Maybe it was in there too long or the temperature still too hot, not sure, but it split and curdled. My next attempt was a version where you bring the egg-cream/milk-cornflour mixture back to the boil in a pot but I was a bit too eager and the temperature was too hot again and it separated again. There is no way to bring it back. In my last attempt on that day I tried to cheat with a store bought custard but the consistency was all wrong (too liquid so the sugar melted on the surface) and didn't get a crunchy caramel crust.
No to be defeated I revisited the second recipe again this weekend and paid more attention to the temperature and voilà, it worked. Silky custard with a hint of orange and cinnamon and a crunchy caramel top. The recipe is for 2 large or 3 small ramekins.
3 egg yolks
1 tbsp vanilla sugar
200ml double cream
100ml milk
2 tbsp cornflour
pinch of salt
pinch of cinnamon
orange zest
sugar for the caramel
In a bowl whisk the egg yolks with the corn flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon until pale and fluffy. Meanwhile gently heat the cream, milk and add the orange zest to infuse. When it reaches 140°F take off the heat. Slowly pour into the egg mixture and whisk continuously. Place back on the heat and very slowly reheat again. When it starts to thicken take off the heat immediately and pour into ramekins and let cool completely. Sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar evenly over the custard and caramelise with a chefs' blow-torch.

The Associated Press reported that Israel and the U.S. have been growing apart on the Iran nuclear threat, so much so that there appears to be a rift between them these days. Essentially, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to sound the alarm tirelessly and at a high pitch, while the West sees genuine Iranian compromises in the Geneva talks.
The different views are only growing more so, threatening to leave Israel in isolation, as the talks between six global powers and Iran appear to be gaining steam, the AP surmises. western negotiators were upbeat after last week's talks, going into the next round of negotiations, Nov. 7.
If you wanted a Munich moment – this is it, with the Czech ambassador sitting nervously in the waiting room while the British and French prime ministers and the Axis brutes decided his country's fate.
In fact, the louder Netanyahu cries out, the more shrill he is bound to sound in the face of the smiling Iranian president Hassan Rouhani.
"I think that in this situation as long as we do not see actions instead of words, the international pressure must continue to be applied and even increased," Netanyahu told his Cabinet on Sunday. "The greater the pressure, the greater the chance that there will be a genuine dismantling of the Iranian military nuclear program."
The statement may reflect more how out of touch Bibi is with the winds blowing in Washington DC right now, than a practical strategy. Over the weekend, U.S. officials said the White House was going to offer Iran a chance to recoup billions of dollars in frozen assets—sitting there since the 1979 Islamic revolution—if it scales back its nuclear program. The sanctions will stay in place for now, but Iran would suddenly receive a windfall.
In other words, Iran will receive between $50 and $75 billion, tax free, not for eliminating its nuclear weapons program, but for merely slowing it down.
This is vintage Rouhani, incidentally – the man was the architect of Iran's winning strategy of fooling the world while flashing many winning smiles. One gets the feeling the Rouhanis wanted their boy to go into modeling for toothpaste ads, instead of running one of the three most evil regimes on the planet, but one thing led to another.
Speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said it was "premature" to talk about easing sanctions, but he did not endorse Netanyahu's tough line, saying the U.S. is planning a more "incremental" approach in response to concrete Iranian gestures.
It's 2005 revisited, and Rouhani knows he's already won this round. He managed to separate Netanyahu from his American benefactors, and isolate Israel which now looks like it's frothing at the mouth while Iran is all pleasantries and pragmatism. All he has to do from this point on is keep talking, host a couple UN inspectors, mess with their inspections a little, nothing serious, make it impossible to get a real read of what goes on in those plants – but keep on smiling, denying, and never say anything hostile or aggressive against israel or the West.
Bibi cannot win this one, any more than Czechoslovakia could win the diplomatic war against Hitler. Few people know today that on paper the Czechs were superior militarily to the Germans. If they had decided to strike against the Germans, they could have altered world history. They didn't need British or French protection, they were completely self sufficient in manufacturing their military arsenal. Indeed, it was his bloodless conquest of Czechoslovakia that turned Hitler unstoppable.

Our first test system was a 512 node Inifiband cluster and it worked without incident. We also have several other large prospects on the horizon (including vendor partnerships) so production readiness won't be a problem. With that said, I would wait until I do the formal press release (waiting for the 1.0 tree to finish getting hammered out by our testers and initial users).

Imagine life on a spaceship headed to Mars. You and your five crewmates work, exercise, and eat together every day under the glow of fluorescent lights. As the months pass, the sun gets dimmer and communication with Earth gets slower. What does this do to your body? According to an Earth-based experiment in which six volunteers stayed in a windowless "spaceship" for nearly a year and a half, the monotony, tight living space, and lack of natural light will probably make you sleep more and work less. Space, for all intents and purposes, turns you into a couch potato.
A mission to Mars would take about 520 days—including the months it takes to travel there and back and the time spent on the Red Planet. But the longest any human has spent off Earth is 437 days straight, a record set in 1995 by Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov, who was orbiting relatively close to home in the space station Mir. Polyakovseemed to bear the burden of long space flight fairly well, but many questions remain about just what a long mission farther from the sun would do to astronauts' ability to sleep and keep energized.
For answers, scientists turned to the Mars500 mission simulation in Moscow, which ended in November 2011. Six crewmen—who are an international mix of astronaut trainers, engineers, and doctors between 27 and 38 years old—stayed in a series of tunnellike chambers and played out the 520-day mission to Mars. "It was thought to be a safe way to try to begin to understand those questions instead of just launching into an extremely long space flight," says study co-leader and sleep scientist David Dinges of the University of Pennsylvania. The crew could communicate with the outside world, but with a time delay depending on how far the mission was supposed to be from Earth. Halfway through the mission, the volunteers even worked on a simulated martian landscape inside a large room with a sandy floor and a black ceiling dotted with fake stars. Throughout the experiment, video cameras and activity-monitoring wristwatches recorded the crew's movements, enabling scientists to observe how often the crew members slept and how much of their time awake was spent lazing about.
The study's finding, reported online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was that the crew suffered from hypokinesis, meaning "they simply moved less," Dinges says. The volunteers moved less while awake and asleep, and spent more waking hours each day engaged in restful activities—playing video games, reading books, or watching movies. The crewmembers' wristwatches, which were equipped with light sensors, showed that the more lethargic they became, the more they shunned the lighted parts of the ship. By the final few months of the mission, three of the crewmembers slept about an hour more per day than they had at the beginning of the simulation.
The beds were small, recalls French crew member and flight engineer Romain Charles, and so narrow that he often had to sleep with his arm across his face. "I just had to learn to sleep like that," he says. But even though he adapted to the sleeping arrangements, it became difficult to take on intellectually laborious tasks, like improving his Russian language skills, in the final few months of the mission. Instead, he spent his spare time playing the video game Counter-Strike. "It really helped me get through that," Charles remembers.
It wasn't until the final 20 days of the mission that the crew, excited for their seclusion to finally end, became nearly as energetic as they were when the mission began.
These findings are important because a crew in space needs to be at peak performance to work competently and act quickly should an emergency strike, says psychologist Gloria Leon of the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, who was not involved with the study. "What they're showing is that NASA and other organizations need to pay close attention to developing some measures that will prevent hypokinesis."
The unnatural conditions of future space journeys have to better emulate the natural qualities of life on Earth, Dinges says. For example, the fluorescent lighting in the Mars500 chamber mostly emitted wavelengths in the green and yellow part of the visible light spectrum, but not much blue. Blue light is important, Dinges notes, because the light from the Earth's natural dawn is largely blue and signals the brain that it's time to wake up. The crew would also have to hold a tight schedule for meals and physical activity.
The sleep times of the Mars500 crew were not quite synchronized, which would increase the risk of accidents. "Imagine a watch that's running 24 hours and 20 seconds a day and another that's got a 24-hour day exactly," says Dinges. "Over time, those two watches will go completely out of sync, and that's what we want to make sure doesn't happen to a crew." One crewman seemed chronically sleep deprived, the researchers noted, sleeping less as the simulation progressed and reporting poor-quality sleep throughout the whole mission. Another crew member's sleeping habits went completely off schedule. He lived on a 25-hour sleep-wake cycle and frequently snoozed while the rest of the crew was awake.
The findings show that agencies recruiting astronauts for such a long mission should take their candidates' established sleep habits into account, says physiologist Derk-Jan Dijk of the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom, who was not involved with the study. "You definitely want to be sure that these people, while going about their normal lives, are not already extreme late sleepers, for example."

Press Release
Personal Care Attendant Convicted for Fraudulently Billing Medicaid
May 9, 2013
On May 8, 2013, 45 year old Rosario Angeles of Anchorage, was sentenced by the Anchorage District Court for committing Medical Assistance Fraud.
The case against Angeles was derived from a report to the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit expressing concern that Angeles was fraudulently billing Medicaid for services she was not providing as Angeles was outside of the United States. A comparison of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) records against Medicaid billing records revealed that Angeles billed Medicaid for services she claimed to be providing her mother while Angeles was in Japan. A review of Department of Labor records further revealed that Angeles was billing Medicaid for services she claimed to be providing while she was actually working at Providence Hospital.
Based on the aforementioned evidence, Rosario Angeles was convicted of two counts of Medical Assistance Fraud. Angeles was ordered to pay a $2,500.00 fine, serve 90 days of suspended jail time, pay the State of Alaska restitution in the amount of $9,250.77, and serve three years of probation. Angeles is also ineligible to work for or bill Medicaid for providing personal care assistance services in the future as a result of their convictions.
The Alaska MFCU is part of the Attorney General's Office. The MFCU is responsible for investigating and prosecuting Medicaid fraud and abuse, neglect or financial exploitations of patients in any facility that accepts Medicaid funds. The indictment and information adding misdemeanor counts for each of these cases can be found on the MFCU website.
CONTACT: Assistant Attorney General Andrew Peterson at 907-269-6292. For more information about the Angeles case or other cases handled by the Alaska MFCU, go to http://www.law.alaska.gov/department/criminal/mfcu.html.

You may or may not have seen this collection of designs for some Marvel heroine formal costume designs. (And if you haven't, you should) And got some of us thinking about a formal variant for superheroes. So what, if anything, do you folks think?
We've seen some characters already have more formal versions, Aquaman sometimes has his King clothes, and Wonder Woman has her Ambassadorial get up. But if Superman is invited to a charitable benefit in his name, does he just roll up in there in his work clothes? As near as I can tell he does, if only because a suit would give away that he's Clark Kent. But what if he had a formal version as well? Would it be a standard tux or suit in his colors, or maybe just a lapel pin with the shield? Maybe some robes? Or maybe some other outfit that takes design cues from his normal suit, but changes the shapes and lines a bit to make it more refined and formal?
I want to say that female characters would have an easier time of it, that there's more leeway in women's clothing design compared to men that have a small handful of suits to pick from (business, tux, Prince Charlie/Kilt combo, Sherwani) but that may be my own predjudices talking.
Opinions? Thoughts? Have you tried to fancy up an outfit that you want to share?

Re: Superhero Formal Wear Discussion
It's been said in several different storylines in Marvel comics, particularly in the Avengers, that Superheroes who are invited as their costume personas often attend formal events in their superhero outfits. This is the same courtesy extended that is extended to the military dress uniforms are accepted in the place of tuxedoes and ball gowns. However this is usually only practiced by heroes with secret identities and who wear masks, like say spider-man or Hawkeye. Characters like Iron Man, She-Hulk and Wasp take every opportunity to dress up when they can.
Re: Superhero Formal Wear Discussion
I'd point out that the military does have a formal variant for their uniforms, Mess Dress, which has the dangly medals, and looks like a variant on a tux, rather than a suit with ribbons.

Some of them looking pretty crazy. If you've seen pictures of Kaiser Wilhelm in full dress then you've seen some of the world's armed forces mess dress styles. They have ropes and capes and other crazy stuff hanging off every available inch of the uniform. This is doubly so for anybody with the rank of colonel or above. Triply if the officer is British.

Yes, but if Superman or Captain America are invited to a black tie affair, they're probably expected in costume.

Dr. Renee Kaufmann joins the School of Information Science faculty with a Masters and Ph.D. in Communication from the University of Kentucky. Before pursuing graduate studies, Kaufmann worked for five years as a seventh grade teacher. This is where she started to question how communication really influenced learning outcomes. "I was baffled how some teachers would say things to students and the students would love the class and them, and then on the other hand, there would be other teachers who would say the same things and the students would hate the class and the teacher." Kaufmann's need for understanding the impact of communication on the classroom has extended into the online classroom. "It makes sense to move what we know about the traditional classroom into the online context. In the end, we want to build and deliver quality learning experiences." Kaufmann's research interest includes exploring online learning in higher education and the use communication technologies for educational and relational outcomes. More specifically, she focuses on how instructors can enhance the learning experience for their online students, as well as how communication on social media platforms can enhance or hinder learning and relationships.
