The term "chocolate bar" is rather French, whereas the term "chocolat bar" is more particularly French-Canadian. The term "chocolate bar" is often used to designate plates of this pure dish (sometimes with other dishes such as nuts, hazelnuts, fruit etc.), but the name is also used to describe some chocolate confectionery of long lines.
Some consumers prefer a "homemade" or home-made production, trying to re-create recipes known in the trade, which also allows them to control the nature of the ingredients and avoid food additives.
Chocolate bars and bars manufactured industrially by the agri-food sector are generally classified as "junk food", mainly because they are often enriched with sugars, palm oil in saturated fatty acids and fats, which are often involved in certain health problems. You won't have to worry about quality with our chocolate bar recipes, which contain none of these ingredients.
The inventor of "eadible chocolate" is unknown, but in 1847 Joseph Fry discovered a way of mixing cocoa powder, sugar and cocoa to create a paste that could be pressed into a mould. The resulting Bar was a success. People liked to eat chocolate as much as they drank it. The first chocolate bars were made of sweet and sour chocolate. Fry's Chocolate Factory, located in Bristol, began producing Fry's Chocolate Cream Bar in 1866.
John Cadbury created a similar product in 1849, but by today's standards neither Fry nor Cadbury's original sweet and sour chocolate bars would be considered very appetizing. Then in 1875, Henry Nestle, a manufacturer of evaporated milk, and Daniel Peter, a chocolate maker, created the tastiest milk chocolate.
In 1879, Rodolphe Lindt began to add cocoa butter to the chocolate again, which gave him a bar that kept its soaked shape and melted on the tongue.
At the Universal Exhibition in Chicago in 1893, chocolate machines made in Germany were exhibited. Milton S. Hershey installed the chocolate machines in his Lancaster factory and produced the first American milk chocolate bar in 1900. During this decade, more than 220 products were launched, including the first chocolate Easter egg in the United Kingdom in 1873 and Fry's Turkish Delight in 1914.
Throughout the late 1890s and early 1900s, other people began mixing other ingredients to create new confectionery. The spotlight especially turned to the chocolate bar during the First World War.
It was at the beginning of the 20th century that the production of chocolate and chocolate bars grew most rapidly. In 1900, Hershey produced the first packaged chocolate bar, the Hershey bar, which is still produced. Many confectionery bars developed at that time still exist in a relatively unchanged form.
In the first half of the 20th century, in the United States alone, 40,000 different chocolate bars appeared on the market and this decade was the culmination of the chocolate bar industry. Today, chocolate bars are made and consumed.

Some Thoughts On Mysticism
Any time you read the actual religious scriptures with the world (the Type, the Upanishads, typically the Behaved Gait, typically the Koran, typically the Pail Cannon, etc) you will experience that the doctrines included therein are different, despite a clear common thought once in a while. But browse the writings from the mystics for the duration of history and discover notice of which what that they wrote will be strikingly similar regardless of their faith based tradition. Look at the Hindu mystic Shankar, and / or the Sufi mystic Rum. Look at the writings associated with St John on the Cross, or the particular writings of this Jewish Rabbi mystics as well as Buddhist mystics. You will experience that what almost all saying portions to the same, though their method of describing it truly is different.
It happens to be an absolutely astounding indisputable fact that we need, in every geographic area with this planet, and with widely divided dates of all time, people that have arrived in the same metaphysical experience through strategies to controlling his or her consciousness, along the lines of meditation. Out of your Buddha connected with North Indian circa 500BCE, towards Socrates, in the Catholic and also Jewish mystics on the Medieval interval, to the particular native shamans associated with Central The united states, there can be a common twine of magical insight. Ask me why it our exoteric customs are consequently different, and yet our clever traditions tend to be so comparable? There is usually important information here.
The reason for religion is usually to give us a feeling of interpretation and objective, and to help us to develop spiritually. Alas, when faith becomes institutionalized (as this always does), it again becomes almost all too very easily, an obstacle to the spiritual development. Do you will want direct connection with God along with a deeper feel of intent? How is it possible to find your current true person? How is it possible to find our god? The mystics have got pointed in the same manner.
And precisely what mystic a mystic is an individual who has spent his life inside quiet careful consideration and meditation and it has achieved an immediate experience from a deeper real truth than that which is ordinarily defined. He or she's got turned their own back about the distractions from the world. They furnish up substance things as well as social standing. They find the divine accompanied by one-pointed thoughts. The 1 defining attribute that separates the mystic from ordinary people, is that they've had a direct, direct, intuitive connection with Divinity.

After a concentrated effort, I finally got through all of my Lexus LFA photos from the Detroit Auto Show—seeing the LFA for the first time was a funny experience. After all the hours writing about it, poring over photos, watching videos, there wasn't much room for surprise—or so I thought.
From a distance, the LFA was exactly as it's shown in any photo, but up close—the level of detail is just amazing. The exposed carbon fiber, the wheels and their giant red callipers, even the mesh for the intakes—there isn't a square inch on the supercar that isn't visually explosive. Photographing those tiny details was easily the best part of the Auto Show and the reason I had so many photos to go through:

Simon's wife admits starting fight that lands couple in court
The wife of Paul Simon, the American musician, yesterday admitted starting a fight with him which landed them both in court accused of domestic violence.
Edie Brickell, who married the singer in 1992, was arrested alongside him at their home in Connecticut on Saturday and both were charged with disorderly conduct after what police described as a "family dispute" escalated into physical violence.
Mr Simon (72), who was in Ireland last week to honour his friend, the late poet Seamus Heaney, with a musical tribute, is understood to have made a 911 emergency call to the police, but hung up before speaking.
Officers who attended their home in the town of New Canaan, around 40 miles from New York City, found them both with minor injuries, and arrested them on charges of disorderly conduct. They were not taken into custody, but were ordered to appear in court.
In a statement released by her lawyer, Allen Cramer, Ms Brickell, (48) said: "I got my feelings hurt and picked a fight with my husband. The police called it disorderly. Thank God it's orderly now."
Mr Cramer told reporters before the hearing: "They are here together, they get along fine with each other. If it were Joe Blow we wouldn't be here. You certainly wouldn't be here. These people have had a wonderful life together and they've never had these types of problems."
Leon Krolikowski, the chief of police for the nearby town of Norfolk, said: "There was aggressiveness on both sides. Under Connecticut law we're obligated to make an arrest because it was domestic violence. Before we left the scene we made assurances both were safe. One of the parties agreed to leave and did leave. Frankly, they're both victims."
The couple held hands as they appeared before Judge William Wenzel at Norwalk Superior Court and were arraigned to reappear in court next Tuesday. The judge agreed that neither Mr Simon nor his wife needed to be the subject of a protection order.
Mr Simon, who was one half of the duo Simon & Garfunkel, told the court: "The both of us are fine together. We had an argument. It was very atypical of us."
He later added: "We're going to go back home today. We're going to watch our son play baseball."
Ms Brickell, who sang with the New Bohemians, said: "I don't feel a need to be protected from him."
The couple married in 1992 and have three children.

It is not a secret that Itacaré offers a little bit of everything. From Atlantic forest to white sandy beaches … from sea to lakes. The varied environments allows one to practice various kinds of sports and experience new and exciting adventures.
The edge of Itacaré's calmer river fronting the neighborhood "Forte", is also the home of the Association of Kayaking of Itacaré. Every day members and tourists take the kayaks and row along the beautiful Rio das Contas that starts in Chapada Diamantina and ends in Itacaré.
Josenildho Monteiro De Jesus, who is the founder of the association goes kayaking every day and believes it to be an amazing experience each time he paddles out.
"Kayaking is great because, first of all, it is calming and also healing in a way. Secondly, it is a great way to make new friends while having fun together in a group. Last, but not least, you are out in this breathtaking nature and can enjoy it up close" Josenildho says.
And it is absolutely true! Paddling along the river one will pass next to the Atlantic forest with the small fishing boats in the background and a setting or rising sun ahead of you (depending if you go early in the morning or in the afternoon).
But kayaking here is not only a hobby. Itacaré is in fact a leading city withing kayak championships both nationally and internationally. Today there are 15 champions that proudly represent Itacaré at national and international competitions as well Marta Ferreira who is a two times paraolimpic world champion.
"As our athletes train in an environment that is made up by both river and sea, they definately have an advantage in competitions because they alredy know how to paddle in all kinds of conditions" Josenildho says.
The association is also the oldest institution that makes social work in the town allowing children from the poorer areas to get educated about how to have a healthy life.
"Over the years we have given support to many children by keeping them away from drugs and allowing them to become competitors and responsible citizens" Jozenildho says.
To book a kayak tour or make a donation, one can go to the associasion that is located in the neighbourhood Forte, Monday-Saturday 07.00-17.00.

'Unité d'habitation Berlin' by Le Corbusier 1959 @ Flatowallee 16, Berlin-Westend, February 27th, 2012
Le Corbusier's visionary 1922 city plan, known as Ville Contemporaine envisioned massive residential blocks set in open green areas—towers in parks, bringing light and air to the residents of urban housing. Like most grand modernist visions, the Ville Contemporaine was never built in its entirety. Its influence on subsequent developments in city planning, however, is clear – notably on post-war reconstruction in Europe and public housing in the United States.
The unité d'habitation type was most notable for its creation of internal streets (essentially elaborate hallway) and accommodation of social and communal functions: kindergartens, medical facilities, recreational spaces, within the housing block. Le Corbusier designed several variations of the unité d'habitation, the most famous of which is in Marseille, Francein 1952. All were derived from this.
Nowadays the Berlin unité, built between 1956-1959, lacks most of the amenities (save a shop and a post office on the ground floor), but is considered unique for its more generously sized apartments. It accommodates 530 units on 17 floors. The internal streets here are oppressive, windowless corridors. Still, the building is in quite good condition. Its hilltop setting, iconic formal qualities, and polychromatic facades are very striking. Apparently there is a community of intelectuals, architects, fotographers, writers, designers etc… that take good care of the building 'cause they may find very attractive living in a Le Corbusier house, far for the original purpose of the building: accomodating a low class people and trying to do their lives easier.
In the slideshow, pics from the time the building was built (1959), located in the building hall. Text source http://www.galinsky.com/buildings/unitedhabitation/index.htm and my own
'Cloud Cities' from Tomás Saraceno @ Hamburger Bahnhof, November 26th 2011
Tomás Saraceno's installations shatter traditional concepts relating to place, time, gravity and traditional ideas as to what constitutes architecture. His works are utopian and invite the viewer to play a part in their impact on a particular space, as they reach up to the sky and down to the ground.
The artist creates gardens that hang in the air and allow visitors to float in space, fulfilling a dream shared by all humankind. Saraceno draws inspiration from soap bubbles and the incredible strength and flexibility of spider webs.
The interests of the artist are broad and he moves with confidence from place to place throughout the world. With his studio in Frankfurt, it is unsurprising that the city's international airport plays an important role in his work. Everything he does appears to develop from a certain degree of boundlessness, motivated by an interest in the changes taking place in the world in which we live.
Each of his objects invites the viewer to consider alternative forms of knowledge, feelings and our interaction with others.
The exhibition will give visitors the chance to see for themselves how the hanging settlements interact with each other and the space, not merely by observing them from afar, but by actually entering them.

Kelley School of Business
Branding • Video • Design • Photo
The IU Kelley School of Business asked us to redesign their Full-Time MBA Viewbook. The viewbook is used as a recruiting tool in the field by one of the nation's top-ranked MBA programs. Blueline worked with Kelley to create all new copy, photography, layout and design of the 45 page booklet. We conducted interviews with students and alumni to capture their individual stories as to create a high-end design with heart, that prospective MBA students could relate to both visually and through storytelling.
The concept "Space" concentrated on the idea that coming to Bloomington, Indiana provided a sense of an immersive retreat away from the noise and distractions of larger cities. Coming to Kelley allows for greater personal and professional transformation by providing a nurturing environment not found in other competitor's MBA programs. Photography used space as a visual component to support the concept. Allowing for negative space in photography created a less busy, less distracting experience. Design elements followed providing padding and breathing room in the content layout, reinforcing the fluidity of the "Space" concept.
About Us
We are proud to call Bloomington, Indiana our home. Located right off the B-Line Trail in the heart of downtown, we are accessible by car, bus, bike, foot, rollerblades, the internet, and phone. We like to talk, we like to type, we like shaking hands - so call, email, or drop in anytime!

A Sandwich a Day: Grilled Cheese at About Cheese in Toronto
A different sandwich profiled every single day.
In this great nation of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Sandwiches are made to order behind the counter at About Cheese, a tiny slice of a cheese boutique in the Village, which also stocks an admirable spread of tempting preserves, honey, and croissants. Thin slices of bread are layered with two-year aged cheddar, muenster cheese, and paper-thin slices of La Quercia prosciutto, then toasted up in a panini press. Walk down Church Street with this molten cheese-filled sandwich wrapped up in butcher paper like a hot little hand-warmer.
For $7.25, you get a sandwich big enough to crush even the most intense cheese craving, but the aggressive cheesiness makes it best shared, or enjoyed in two sittings: one when the cheese is at its meltiest, and later, when it has firmed up a bit.

We've got a couple of pretty cool things happening this weekend.
Starting off, we'll have a special musical guest with us. He was on the road with Little Richard for over 15 years, and has a tremendous turnaround story. I think he can sing a little bit (smile). He's going to light it up for us.
Also, Argentina is getting baptized. Yes, that would be John Gibbs. Do you want to miss that?

Whether one is pan-blue or pan-green, there is a moneyed side to Taiwanese politics that few know about and maybe even fewer want to know about. As in other countries, within that moneyed side are the financiers and contributors who look for and support marketers who will promote their vested interests.
These contributors search out people who, regardless of party, will act in the spotlight on their behalf, allowing them to remain in the background. On the receiving side of these contributions are the marketers (more coarsely, the shills) who, like chameleons, can change color depending where the money is.
Taiwan has several of these chameleons, but perhaps the master, bar none, is Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential nominee hopeful and two-time DPP chairman Hsu Hsin-liang (許信良).
Hsu is one of those strange entities in Taiwan; a man who has always wanted to lead the parade, but has rarely had a sustainable following. He is a man who loves to talk and press the flesh, but has not had a recognizable job in decades. Yet, surprisingly, he seems to live well enough — so much so that he makes many wonder where his money comes from.
As the presidential campaign for next year begins to ramp up, it is not surprising to see Hsu throwing his hat in the ring, letting the contributors know that this shill is available.
The pan-blue camp's nomination process is pretty well determined. Unless a disaster happens, its candidate will be President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九). Little chance there.
The pan-green camp, on the other hand, is another story. Its candidate has yet to be determined and so Hsu has borrowed cash for the NT$5 million (US$171,000) needed to register and be qualified to speak at all televised presentations and policy sessions.
Some may wonder, how can the DPP allow this man back in, especially after he went over to the other side during the 2004 campaign and courted former vice president Lien Chan's (連戰) money. However, membership in the DPP is loose. As long as one registers and pays the current dues and has not officially been kicked out in the past, then anyone, even the bluest of blues, can join. While Hsu left in the past, he was never officially kicked out.
Hsu had started out on the pan-blue side long ago. However, when the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) would not let him run for Taoyuan County commissioner in November 1977, he ran as an independent and won.
The KMT looked for ways to stuff the ballot box to prevent his victory. Hsu and his people recognized this and protested strongly in what became known as the Zhongli Incident. In the end, the KMT was forced to accept him as Taoyuan County commissioner.
Now begins the more checkered side of his life.
Hsu participated in the tangwai (outside the party) movement protests in the following years and was forced out of his post as county commissioner at the beginning of 1979 because of his involvement with the movement.
This proved a blessing in disguise for Hsu, as he would be abroad during the Kaohsiung Incident in December of that year and all prominent members of the tangwai movement were arrested, put on trial and sentenced to long jail terms. Thus, while most others were languishing in prison, Hsu was learning fundraising and enjoying the benefits of free income and donations.
Hsu is partly an ideas man, but he is primarily a marketer who follows the money and enjoys the wining and dining life style that such marketing involves. As a tangwai member, he had notoriety and a ready audience who would contribute to his cause of opposing the KMT's one-party rule.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
For Peg Coleman, it was like nothing she had ever experienced before.
It was March 31, Coleman's first day in Salt Lake City, and she'd spent it exploring the city on foot. As she walked near Temple Square, Coleman suddenly found herself in a tide of men making their way toward the LDS Church's Conference Center for the semiannual Priesthood meeting that is part of the faith's General Conference though, as a newcomer, Coleman didn't know that.
What she did know is this: Here she was, a lone woman, surrounded by thousands of men. And she felt perfectly safe, completely at ease.
"It was a startling experience for me," Coleman said Thursday. "I don't know any other place in the world where a woman could walk through a crowd of 20,000 men and not feel threatened."
Coleman, new executive director for the Utah Domestic Violence Council, said the experience captured precisely her vision for what Utah could be a place where the standard is that every woman every person is respected and free from domestic violence.
But Utah has work to do to achieve that standard, she acknowledges. By contrast, that same Saturday featured headline stories about evidence from unsealed search warrants in the case of missing West Valley City mom Susan Powell, Coleman pointed out, and just this week Shantelle Reid was allegedly killed by her boyfriend, hours after neighbors witnessed them fighting in the street.
"The challenge is we have a system where we believe that the criminal justice system alone is going to keep us safe," Coleman said. "All you have to do is look at the headlines here the past few weeks to know only that's only part of the answer. The bulk of the work is making [ending domestic violence] everybody's business."
Coleman replaces Judy Kasten Bell, who spent 12 years as the council's executive director.
Coleman said she sought the job because it offered an opportunity to deploy her diverse background shaping public policy and fostering a united approach among organizations focused on ending domestic violence. But Utah's redrock country also was a strong draw.
"I love red rocks. They are just where I go when I have time for myself," said Coleman, who has visited Utah several times in the past.
Coleman spent the past eight years as executive director of Haven House in Homer, Alaska, where she ran the domestic violence shelter, provided support to victims of sexual assault, led a batterers' counseling group and developed a children's advocacy center. Prior to moving to Alaska, Coleman was associate director of Family Crisis Services, a domestic violence program, in Portland, Maine. She also worked as lead counselor for a substance abuse program at Portland's Crossroads for Women that addressed underlying traumatic experiences, and served clients with chronic mental illness and substance abuse problems at the Maine Medical Psychiatric Department, also in Portland.
Coleman was the first woman elected to municipal government in Dennis Township, N.J., becoming mayor when she was a 30-year-old soccer mom.
"It was a community that was experiencing a lot of growth from outside influences," said Coleman. "We had to stand down some very big environmental challenges."
One take-to-heart lesson from that three-year stint: For her, there were better ways to serve a community more effectively than politics, she said. Coleman's career since has been woven with social service issues homelessness, poverty, substance abuse, mental illness and domestic violence.
"The common denominator of people who meet those challenges well is they had one place where they were met with respect and treated with compassion," Coleman said. "They weren't looked at as a diagnosis."
Instead, they were recognized as someone's mom or dad, a wife or husband, a sister or daughter and were helped to maintain a sense of self and connection to community.
That sense of each individual's humanity is something Coleman hopes to foster in her new assignment. And that first impression of the city, with its streets filled with men, highlights her view that men must be brought into the discussion as a natural ally in stopping violence.
"It's not women who are going to stop domestic violence, it's men holding men accountable, men teaching their sons that this is the standard for men," Coleman said. "My vision is we get to a place where everybody is held in high regard. I think Utah has the potential to lead the nation in being the safest place for families. It seems to be, culturally, what Utah stands for."

Our Patients - Mary Jane, Florida
From: Mary Jane P.
I want to thank the PAF Co-Pay Relief Fund. My husband and I just live on Social Security, and could not afford a better medicine to help me with my rheumatoid. Life was not fun. It was like being trapped in a body that was not working, plus getting my left knee drained every three months. Also I had no energy. I was pushing my body just to function, on everyday living. And living in a lot of pain. Now, thanks to the foundation, I feel like a bionic woman. I have my energy back, my knee does not need drained. I can do house work with ease, and I am not in any pain, which has made my blood pressure wonderful. Rheumatoid, is no longer preventing me from living my life, and enjoying it. Thank you again, for helping me with getting a better medicine.

Hi guys! In order to gain more confidence, I would like to focus besides case training also on soft skill trainings. Can anybody recommend me what I could do? Join toastmasters or which other activities can develop my soft skills, such as presentation and communication skills and confidence in general? Any advice is appreciated!
Important soft skills as MBB consultant
You are asking an important question as soft skills can make a difference. While they don't count as much as much the actual interview, soft skills come into play on two, sometimes three different occasions:
- Firm presentations: Both before and after firm presentations, there will be consultants and recruiters commingling with candidates.
- Interviews: There will be a few minutes before the interview begins where your soft skills can set the tone of the interview.
- Team exercises (optional for some firms): Some firms have 4-6 candidates work on a group case exercise and soft skills play a big part where elements like empathy, listening, presence, teamwork and influencing are assessed.
You can improve your soft skills just about anywhere you interact with others, whether it's one-on-one ore in a large group. Here are few to get you started:
- School team / group meetings
- School organizations
- School orientation / admission events
- Recruiting events / firm presentations
- Case interview practice partners
- Networking events (e.g., Network After Work, Alumni events)
- Toastmaster's International Meetings
- Meetup groups (https://www.meetup.com/)
- Volunteer work (especially with younger groups)
- Political / religious organizations (if you are so inclined)
- Mentor sessions
Hi Anonymous,
based on my experience, the single most effective way to improve soft skills is an internship/job experience in sales, ideally related to SME and/or a startup (which involves lot of interactions and pretty direct sales process). Additional elements I personally found useful are:
- Present whenever possible in front of a group of people (depending on what you do now, that may range from a university class to work related presentations)
- Theater/ voice training
- Specific training classes on communication
Completely agree with Francesco.
If you have time I suggest to hire a coach in:
- Communication - check the universities around. Many of them have "Art of communication" course. Ther you'll get all the theory and practice various types of speeches
- Sales - there are lots of personal selling training. I recommend finding the most reputable in your city. It's definitely worth it
- Voice (if it is not loud / articulate). Basically, a good singing coach can improve the voice
Good luck!

So with the prospects of a live-action Justice League failing to gain traction, why not ask the most trusted name at WB animation to remind the world why it worked in the first place? At the moment, DC's current roster of heroes exists notably separate from the ones seen on television, in syndication, and in feature-length animated films. That's a problem that has to be addressed sooner or later, and spotlighting 'The New 52' incarnation of the Justice League on a weekly basis could help build momentum and support for any live-action project.
Anyone who doubts non-canonical versions or alternate worlds confuse loyal fans need only look at the debates that spawn in any one of our articles concerning the League: Flash-fans who argue a comedic actor is needed for a live-action Wally West butt heads with those who believe Barry Allen, not West, will need to be introduced first, while Batman supporters continue to disagree as to whether Nolan's version was the best ever seen or if it bore little resemblance to the comic book version. In many cases, the boldest and most progressive moves DC makes go unnoticed by the demographics they're dealing with.
Simon Baz, the first Muslim, Arab-American Green Lantern ("Who..?")
Nowhere is this clearer than with characters like Aquaman and Wonder Woman - characters made central to the latest incarnation of the Justice League, but who continue to draw negativity from the masses. DC's Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns has worked tirelessly to re-imagine an Aquaman that is not only aware of society's view of him as a walking joke, but is infuriated by it. Any comic book enthusiast knows that a live-action version of the new Aquaman would be deadly and lethal in combat, but TV and movie audiences have no idea and simply scoff at the idea.
The essential problem is that if Warner Bros. and DC Comics don't want to have to cancel yet another Justice League movie before it begins, they'll need public excitement and interest on their side. As it stands, some of the most promising characters (from a comic standpoint) are still weighed down by past incarnations or confusion over concurrent versions of the character.
As much as we'd recommend WB simply adapt Lauren Montgomery's animated Wonder Woman movie into live-action and call it a day, that's a sizable investment for a heroine modern audiences haven't seen in the spotlight (not without embarrassing all involved, anyway). Yet the newest version of Diana established her as a strong, assertive, unromantic descendant of Greek gods - but again, what DC is trying to accomplish in the pages of comic books has no other medium through which to change public perception.
The way we see it: New Age, New 52, new animated series from Bruce Timm. Whether Timm is charged with injecting more of 'The New 52's style into the series being developed or not, the need for a more modern and updated take is obvious. Given his track record and talent that usually accompanies him, adapting comic storylines isn't needed for compelling action, but don't be surprised if Timm's new cast of heroes at least look more like their updated counterparts than their predecessors.
A new series targeting children (and comic book fans who recognize good stories when they see them) brings them in along with their parents, and helps Warner Bros. attract bigger audiences in the process. Of course, there's nothing that would prevent WB from creating an animated Justice League series for adults and younger viewers to run in The CW's primetime, but we'll place our money on the Saturday morning option. That being said, some recent story decisions made by DC's writers would attract attention from an older crowd...
As critically acclaimed or grounded as some of Warner Bros. superhero films may be, a single film every three or four years can't match the marketing of an ongoing television series - and that's where DC has always had the edge. Bruce Timm helped them claim animation supremacy over Marvel decades ago, so now that the fight is truly heating up (and turning in Marvel's favor), DC and WB will be missing an incredible opportunity by not making an aggressive move.
Bruce Timm stepping down as supervising producer for animated features certainly leads us to believe the studio knows what's needed, and hopefully the reasons we've given make it clear what Warner Bros. could be up to. For now it's speculation on our part, but if done right, a modern, intelligent and widely-appealing animated Justice League series is good news for any fan of cartoon, comics, and blockbuster films.
What would you most like to see from a brand new Bruce Timm series? More of the same, or something completely groundbreaking? If Timm is at work on a Justice League animated series for a new generation, which heroes do you hope to see make the cut? Share your thoughts in the comments.

You can imbue others with your healing energy so that they can use it at the moment of greatest need.
Prerequisites: True healer class feature, Selective Channeling.
Benefit: You can use a standard action to touch an ally and expend one of your daily uses of channel energy to create a repository of positive energy within that ally. This repository contains the same number and type of dice as normal for your channel energy feature, and it lasts for 1 minute. An ally who has such a repository can use an immediate action to roll the repository's dice and regain a number of hit points equal to the result. If an ally who has such a repository is reduced to negative hit points, the repository triggers, allowing the ally to heal without using an action.

KARACHI – Condemning the restoration of LBS 1979, MQM's Coordination Committee said that Sindh government's act of revoking of SPLGA 2012 would create extreme dislike among the people of the province.
It said in a statement after the emergency joint meeting of the Co-ordination Committee held in London and Pakistan on the new built-up situation after passage of the bill in Sindh Assembly by Pakistan Peoples Party.
The committee said that the SPLGA was passed after extended discussion and consultation between the MQM and the PPP.
The committee said that although PPP leaders themselves had declared the Act in best interest of the people but when MQM decided to sit on opposition benches then PPP repealed its own Act and restored the old system of 1979.
It said that the MQM had been working emphatically for years to develop the unity and brotherhood between the permanent residents of Sindh but the PPP had once again tried to draw line between the Sindhis and Mohajirs by repealing the local government act.
The MQM would start constitutional struggle against the dissolution of the local government system and make every democratic effort to devolve the power at lowest level, the committee said. It said that the PPP leaders used to call the LBS of 1979 as a black law and hence they had given a clear message to the people by restoring the black law that they wanted to continue the steps taken in the time of the dictatorship in the country. It further said that the LGS was the nursery of the democracy and part of the Benazir Bhutto manifesto but present leadership of the PPP had not only trampled this nursery of democracy but also deviated from manifesto of their leader.
Co-ordination Committee said that the MQM had faced such dictatorial actions of tyrant rulers in the past and ready to face every kind of coercion and oppression even today. MQM leaders' courage and determination could not be diminished by such oppressive steps, and they would continue struggle to bring an end to undemocratic and unconstitutional steps, said the committee.
CS SEEKS DETAILED REPORT REGARDING MLOS: Sindh Chief Secretary Raja Abbas has called a comprehensive report from the departments of Health, Home and Police regarding the services of Medico Legal Officers (MLOs) at the government hospitals of the province. He was addressing a high level meeting to review the complaints pertained to the MLOs, said a statement here on Thursday.
It said that the meeting was attended by the Secretaries and senior officers of Health, Home, Finance Departments. Raja Abbas called for improving the performance of the MLOs in these hospitals. He also called for specific reports regarding the JPMC, CHK and Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, including Burns Centre.

Housing advocates in Dallas learned about a new way to help people avoid foreclosure Thursday morning.
Chase Bank's new Home Ownership Center in Dallas helps borrowers in distress have face-to-face meetings with lenders about the options available to them.
Whether it's reducing interest rates or payments, extending the mortgage term, providing principal forebearance or utilizing the government's Making Homes Affordable program, the bank said there are many ways people can catch up on their payments.
"It's the most important thing to try and stay in their homes. It's where they live. It's what they want to keep, and we're doing our best job we can to try and satisfy that for them," said Robert Meagher, site manager for the Chase Home Ownership Center.
The Dallas location is the 31st home ownership center to open. Chase said it's helped more than half a million people with the centers.

After a string of recent storms, cold weather and high winds, there's no question a lot of us are more than ready for a spring warm-up.
It's been so cold in Vermont, even baby sheep are wearing sweaters at one landmark.
At Billings Farm & Museum in Woodstock, farm staffers put hand-knit sweaters—wool, of course—on newborn lambs. Several lambs were born in the past few days.
The latest news from around the state
The design of the sweaters resembles garments that dogs would wear.
"Lambs are born with no body fat," said Alayna Perkins, the farm manager of Billings Farm & Museum, holding a newborn lamb in a sweater. "As you can see here, she's kind of skinny. And her wool isn't really coming in yet. So we leave them in a sweater until they're about a month old. That way, they have time to grow and grow their wool, and they'll be warm."
The average temperature for March so far has been colder than December, January, or February's averages. Earlier this month, much of Vermont was dealt a heavy wallop of snow.
The lamb sweaters are knit by a woman who works at the museum as a site interpreter, the facility said, as an added modern comfort at this center that educates visitors on rural life 150 years ago.
"It's a newer innovation," Billings Farm & Museum director David Simmons said of the lamb sweaters. "And one that we appreciate here at Billings and our visitors take great pleasure in seeing."
In addition to the sweaters, the newborn lambs stay inside the barn under lamps to stay warm.
It looks like the lambs will need their colorful coats, with more wintry weather in the forecast over the next few days.
Billings Farm & Museum opens to the public on Saturday, April 1.
The destination's most popular event of the year, a celebration of baby farm animals, will be held over two days this year, April 14 and 15.

RICHMOND, Va. – It must be rough to be Shaka Smart sometimes. It's his job look at the film from Thursday's 50-point win and find out what the Rams did wrong. Good luck with that, Coach. Maybe somebody left their shirt untucked.
For most observers of the Rams' 94-44 systematic obliteration of Virginia Union, VCU was nearly flawless. At one point, the Rams led by 62. Sixty-two points! Even as Smart tried to position himself for a preemptive strike against overconfidence, he conceded a little of the obvious: The Rams dominated the Panthers in every facet of the game.
"I would give it a pretty good," Smart offered. "It's about as well as you're going to do this time of year. We've got some things to work on. We'll watch the tape and see what we need to improve on and get better at."
It appears VCU was flawless in coachspeak Thursday as well. Of course he can't give away too much now. He can't give into the desire to celebrate a win that really isn't a win at all. On Thursday morning, VCU's record was 0-0. On Friday morning, it's still 0-0. Smart's paid to think big picture, and big picture is March.
Smart's real task will be to separate VCU's good from the talent gap between the two teams. Virginia Union was overwhelmed by the Rams' press to the tune of 22 turnovers. Thirty-three of the Rams' points came off Union giveaways. Was that because VCU was that good? Was Virginia Union that bad? A little bit of both? That's going to be Smart's chore. From my perspective, it was more of VCU's defensive bloodlust than it was Union's inadequacy.

Antibiotic use as a predictor of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy success
Ben-Avie, Yedidya
(Massachusetts General Hospital)
Mentor: Tavakkoli, Ali (Brigham and Womens Hospital)
Summer Student Program
Although sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most common forms of bariatric surgery used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity, not enough is known about why some patients fail to respond to the surgery by achieving weight loss and diabetes remission. Recent research has pointed to the negative effects of antibiotic use on weight and blood sugar control, suggesting a possible link between antibiotic use, infection, and sleeve gastrectomy outcomes. To test the hypothesis that antibiotic use before or after sleeve gastrectomy surgery would lead to worse response to the surgery, we analyzed 144 patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent sleeve gastrectomy and compared their outcomes at one year post-op. Patients were grouped by whether they used antibiotics before surgery, after, both before and after, or neither before nor after. We also looked to see whether the type of antibiotic used for perioperative prophylaxis would have an effect on one year outcomes. There were no significant differences between any of these groups. For pre-op use (n = 10), post-op use (n = 39), both (n = 11), and neither (n = 83) the results were as follows: BMI change, 8.33 + 3.69 kg/m2, -8.73 + 5.68 kg/m2, - 9.92 + 3.21 kg/m2, -9.72 + 5.42 kg/m2; for Hba1c change, -1.08 + 0.70%, -0.37 + 1.51%, -0.10 + 1.18%, -0.77 + 1.53%; and for the percent of each group reliant on medications for blood sugar control, 13%, 49%, 30%, and 47%. The analysis of perioperative antibiotic use type also had no significant between group differences. Overall, this shows that antibiotic use did not have an effect on the one year outcomes of sleeve gastrectomy. From these results, we can conclude that even patients who get sick during the first year after sleeve gastrectomy surgery still benefit from the surgery. Additionally, recent infection should not be a reason to delay surgery since patients with preoperative antibiotic use had positive outcomes.

Water Pal™ provides plants with optimal water conditions, which will naturally increase yields in your garden.
See if your garden could benefit from Water Pal™:
- Does your garden struggle to grow healthy, productive plants?
- Do you find that you must use chemicals and additives in your soil to get good gardening results?
- Do you have to water more frequently than you feel you should?
- Does excessive water use for gardening increase you monthly water bill?
- Do you support the use of "green" technologies?
If the answer to any of the above questions is "Yes," then your garden needs Water Pal™!
The Water Pal™ Gardening Experiment
In 2013, to show the effect of water treated by the Water Pal™ in gardening applications, we enlisted the help of JD Cant, Agriculture Teacher at Imbler High School in Imbler, Oregon. As part of the FFA program, JD manages a series of greenhouses for the school. We asked him if we could conduct an experiment and observe plant growth and health using the school's regular water supply, vs. water that had been treated using the Water Pal™.
One of the greenhouses featured an an automatic watering system with several watering "arms." (see photo above) The setup was ideal. Using this automated system, we could water one set of plants with the untreated water and one set with water treated with the Water Pal™ water, by installing the Water Pal™ onto one of the arms. It would make for a great side-by-side comparison. Both sets of plants would receive the same amount of water, sunlight, fertilizer, etc.; only the water provided to them would differ.
Week by week, we documented the growth of both sets of plants, and you can see the results documented below.
The final results of the experiment were remarkable, though not unexpected. The plants given water treated by the Water Pal™ developed more rapidly and showed signs of better overall health:
- Richer leaf color
- More vibrant pigmentation in flower petals
- Greater number of leaves and blooms
JD Cant Honored by FFA
Not quite two years after performing the above experiment with the Water Pal™, Mr. Cant was honored by the national Future Farmers of America (FFA) with the Outstanding Agricultural Education Teacher Award.

SeaWorld San Diego Opens Club Atlantis
Kids can dance the night away while parents explore the park after dark
This article is sponsored by the San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau, the official travel resource for the San Diego region. Learn more about San Diego and SeaWorld San Diego at sandiego.org/SeaWorld.
As any parent can attest, traveling with teens and tweens can be tough. Too young to do their own thing, too cool to hang out with their parents, these kids are often stuck in social no-man's land during family vacations.
If only there were a club hip enough to keep them entertained and safe enough to put parent's minds at ease.
Well, now there is. Beginning June 15 and running through August 12, SeaWorld San Diego will be hosting Club Atlantis, a nighttime discotheque exclusively catering to kids. Every Thursday through Sunday, from 7 to 10 p.m., children of all ages can dance to the beats of DJ Marc Thrasher, a mixmaster who has played at adult clubs like the House of Blues and opened for the likes of Hillary Duff and Dave Chapelle. In addition to a steady stream of hot jams, Thrasher also mixes videos that are projected up on the club's shade structure.
New this year is the Coca-Cola VIP Lounge where you can win your way to hang out with friends in this exclusive area and enjoy Coca-Cola products during the first 90 minutes of Club Atlantis.
As if that weren't entertaining enough, a SeaWorld dance team will perform on Thursday and Sunday nights and a local hip-hop group will wow the crowd on Friday and Saturday nights.
Located in Club Atlantis Plaza, Club Atlantis provides the perfect environment for kids to have fun, feel independent and meet other children their age. Plus parents can stay busy by enjoying all the other activities offered during Seaworld's Summer Nights program.

Now that SAP Business One version 9.3 has been released under the general availability rules, the natural next question for customers becomes, "When I should upgrade?" As is usually the case, this complicated question has many potential answers and customers will want to work with their Partner to determine the best approach for your business. But setting aside unique needs of each customer, let's dive into this question at a high level.
Recently, I attended the first stop of SAP's SMB Innovation Summit in Ho Chi Minh City, an annual event for Partners to align with SAP around the latest insights and innovations in the SMB space. This year's event centered around the core product as a solution for digital transformation, and less on future innovations. With the recently announced general availability of SAP Business One 9.3, the future is now for SAP's largest customer base (in terms of numbers and customer adoption).
However, my..
February was our Integration month for our ONE.Source community as we looked at multiple approaches to meeting your SAP Business One integration needs. Our Subject Matter Expert, Richard Duffy, shares his opinions on integration options, as well as recent insights he has gained.
One of the goals of our ONE.Source community is to be your trusted conduit to resources and materials to help you get more from your SAP Business One deployment. With that goal in mind, I wanted to highlight some recent videos from SAP.
Our most recent blog on GDPR was one of our most popular to date. In the post, we explored what these impending changes mean and unpacked the business implications of these updated rules and requirements for protecting the data of your customers from the European Union.
The next logical question for SAP Business One customers is, "How do I make sure that my SAP Business One deployment is protected against unauthorized access, both benign and malicious?" The answer to that question is not only technical, but also tied to your business processes..
Understanding GDPR and Information Security: Securing Your SAP Business One Deployment and Your Business
GDPR: Just another acronym or something that will affect businesses of all sizes around the world? If you do business with customers in the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has significant implications for your business, no matter the size.
Each month in 2018, our ONE.Source community will feature one or two topics to feature across the month. If you missed it, our focuses thus far have been Logistics (January) and Integration (February). Now on to March...
General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable -- these three modules may not be the most glamorous of all the functional areas in SAP Business One, but they are critical to running your business profitably and optimizing your cash flows. These modules offer a number of ways to streamline your business operations and..
Industry 4.0 and SAP Business One – How Your Business Can Prepare for the Next Industrial Revolution
The latest buzzword that you may encounter during 2018 is Industry 4.0, or the "fourth industrial revolution."
Not long after our September 2017 webcast on the SAP Business One road map did we get an update from SAP. While not ideal for the shelf life of our webcast, we were due for an update.
Each month in 2018, our ONE.Source community will feature one or two topics to feature across the month. If you missed it, January was Logistics month. For February, we're focusing on Integration with SAP Business One.

Collaboration with accountability is probably at its starkest when two or more businesses agree to work together. Businesses are accountable to their owners for delivering prot growth, yet sometimes organic growth or acquisition are not viable options. Instead, when cost, time and risk are taken into account, working with others can emerge as the best solution.
For example, with Europe's weak economic climate, looking to other continents for growth is becoming increasingly attractive. So a UK business creating a joint venture (JV) with a local business overseas minimizes the risk of entry by combining UK capability with local knowledge and assets. For example, Home Retail Group has created a joint venture with Haier Group, one of its Chinese suppliers, to develop an Argos branded multi-channel, general merchandise retail business in China.
But collaboration can come in other forms beyond the formal ownership structure of a JV. One major success story is that of the Star Alliance of 25 airlines who share capacity and customers under common standards of customer service, security and technological infrastructure.
Then there are looser networks such as the Silicon Fen where a combination of The University of Cambridge, venture capitalists, software, electronics and biotechnology businesses have located in one geographic area to make the most of their combined capabilities and funding.
And even the Third Sector has identified the benefit of collaboration with the recent creation of "Partner-Up" – an independent marketplace where charities, social enterprises and housing associations can safely explore partnership options and receive support in deciding which organisations to approach.
Figure 1. Increasing Need for Collaboration (Adapted from Chesbrough & Teece -1996)
In all cases, the common theme is that businesses are seeking to build something new, fresh and better than what they can do alone. But as Fig. 1 below indicates, as the incentive to take risks increases through the use of partnership arrangements, the ability to settle conflicts and coordinate activities decreases. Hence the need for a strong capability in collaboration.
If your business finds it difficult collaborating internally, then think how difficult it will be to collaborate externally. Indeed, the internal cross-functional behaviours you see within your organisation can often be a good predictor of how good – or poor – you will be at collaborating with others externally.
Based on our own research and experience, we work on the premise that there are three interconnecting pillars to building effective partnerships:
- Strategic Alignment
- Contractual Management
- Relationship Management
So let's look at each of these three pillars in turn.
1. Strategic Alignment
This is about building a very clear business case that defines the investment requirements and benefits, which is attractive to the owners of each partner. Over the years I have seen three business partnerships fail because the business case had not been thought through sufficiently at the start, with it only coming to light after a large dose of time, energy and money had been thrown at the collaboration, trying in vain to make it work. When the balance of risk and reward is out of kilter, then the partnership will at some point fall over.
So the process of building the business case should actively flush out what are the true objectives for each partner. For example, is it short-term prot generation, long-term customer relationship development, or capability development? The partners probably will have differing objectives, so the trick is working out how to align them. And then there is the time dimension: over time the market and/or your own objectives may change, and so impact on the original business case. J. Golding, previously at Hewlett Packard, once cited that "fewer than 33% of alliances go beyond the first product". So being clear about your objectives and when you wish to achieve them is important.
One CEO of a JV reflected:
there is a need to re-examine all three pillars regularly between partners, to ensure that alignment of strategy, contract and relationship still holds, and to be explicit where any adjustments have to be made. Management teams change, people at the top move on (as has been in the the case of our JV partner), and corporate strategic priorities evolve. One partner's ambition for the JV may grow while the other partner's might diminish. Ensuring the relationship is good enough to recognise and address this at the time would seem important, and making appropriate contractual adjustments where required."
2. Contractual Management
The next step is to turn the business case into operational reality by helping establish performance measures and expectations, and the rules of the partnership game. Turning words into metrics is a good way of ensuring nothing is lost in translation. Also where accountabilities sit for delivering on these targets, clarify who makes what decisions, and how the decisions are made to ensure clarity of roles for when the partnership commences. The rules should also build in dispute resolution and the exit strategy. Be realistic and don't expect a marriage made in heaven.
3. Relationship Management
Contractual management is a necessary, but on its own not sufficient, requirement for partnership success. The rules of the game should just be a safety net, which are only activated when things become problematic. What partnerships really seek is to operate beyond the contract, and generate a level of trust between each of them, which gives confidence in truth, reliability and worth of each partner.
This is why differences in country and organisational cultures can either inhibit or enable the performance of a partnership. So understanding and addressing where there is a difference in what is valued and what people focus on, can help prevent future difficulties.
Relationship management also requires an ability to influence rather than control others, managing the stakeholders of the respective partners, and being open with each other about the level of commitment, expectations and performance.
In our experience, these three pillars need to work alongside each other. So getting them right before any partnership is created is important. In one of our development programmes, we help senior executives effectively manage their joint ventures by addressing these three pillars:
- Clarifying how the partners' strategies align, and what each partner expects over the short, medium and long-term
- Defining the metrics for the partnership, and identifying where accountabilities and decision authorities lie
- Understanding each others' ways of working, and building the capability to influence rather than control.
Working hard on these three upfront, and keeping a close watch on them as the partnership develops will increase the chances of partnership success.

2012 maintenance weekly progress report: week #3.
Sunday, April 8, 2012 by John Stone
Filed under Daily Blog
Week #3 of my 2012 maintenance program is complete, and it's time for my weekly progress report.
My scale weight this morning (as measured by the EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale) is 170.0 pounds. That's a 0.6 pound grain since last week's weight of 169.4 pounds, and a 1.6 pound loss from my 2012 end-of-cut weight of 171.6 pounds.
My 7-point body fat reading this morning is 5.1% (the digital caliper I use is no longer sold, but this manual caliper will do fine if you need one). That's a +0.1% body fat change since last week's body fat measurement of 5.0%, and a -0.6% change from my body fat reading at the end of my 2012 cut, which was 5.7%.
Using my scale weight along with my body fat reading I can easily calculate how much of my weight change was fat, and how much was lean mass (note: JSF BodyShop™ makes these calculations for you automatically). Over the past week I've gained 0.2 pounds of fat and gained 0.4 pounds of lean mass; since my cut ended I've lost a total of 1.11 pounds of fat and lost a total of 0.59 pounds of lean mass.
My tape measurements (as measured by the MyoTape) show no changes since last week. Since the end of my 2012 cut I've lost .5 inches from my hips, .25 inches from my waist and .25 inches from my thighs while all other measurements have remained the same.
My detailed stats (including all tape measurements) and food logs can always be found on JSF BodyShop™. Just create a free account (existing JSF Forum members should simply log in using their forum username and password) and search for me.]
Looks like my weight and measurements have finally started to stabilize! This past week was literally the first week in 2012 during which I did not lose fat. A week ago (Sunday night) I had my first big splurge meal since my cut ended, but the rest of the week I ate very clean. My activity level was down over this past week, as I've barely been on my mountain bike at all. I have a feeling that if I'd biked as much as I do in a typical week, I'd probably be looking at another scale weight reduction this morning. Next week I plan to bike quite a bit, and so I'm going to need to increase my calories even more. I love how I just used the word "need" there; it's not like eating more food is difficult. 🙂
Here are my cardiovascular statistics for this week (as measured by the Timex Ironman Heart Rate Monitor). For more information on these statistics, please check out my February 14, 2011 blog.
HRrest: 39 BPM (-1 BPM since March 18, 2012)
HRmax: 196 BPM
Heart Rate Reserve: 157 BPM (+1 BPM since March 18, 2012)
Heart Rate Recovery: 87 BPM
VO2 MAX (Uth—Sørensen—Overgaard—Pedersen equation): 75.38 ml/min/kg (+1.88 ml/min/kg since March 18, 2012)

Voting at St. Linus Hall on Rocky River Drive in Cleveland on Nov. 3, 2009. State Sen. Frank LaRose writes that his Senate Bill 206, which has passed the Senate and is pending in the House, would increase transparency by allowing electronic campaign-finance filings in Ohio's 88 counties.
(Chuck Crow, The Plain Dealer, File, 2009)
If elections are the vehicle of our democracy, technology is the engine that propels them forward efficiently. Unfortunately, by no fault of their own, county boards of elections are stuck with a horse and buggy when it comes to campaign finance reporting. While campaign committees and state candidates such as myself have used an electronic filing system for the past 15 years, county boards of elections can only accept paper reports because state law has failed to keep pace with modern technology.
In 2016, Ohioans should have the opportunity to view local campaign finance reports online as they already have the ability to review reports from state candidates. Full transparency demands nothing less.
With the enthusiastic support of the bipartisan Ohio Association of Elections Officials, I authored legislation to remove the paper-only requirement that still regulates municipal, county and local candidates and campaign committees that file with county boards of elections. In this day and age, it's shocking that a candidate or campaign committee would have to drop off a pile of paperwork at their county elections office to meet current legal requirements.
The concept is straightforward: Amended Senate Bill 206 would update Ohio's campaign finance law by allowing campaign finance reports to be filed electronically. This legislation passed the Senate with unanimous bipartisan support in May, and it will be referred to a House committee in the fall when the legislature returns.
County boards of elections would still be responsible for overseeing this process and auditing the reports, as well as training and assisting filers.
For the sake of transparency and accountability, Ohio citizens must have the ability to examine the finances of the political candidates and committees that campaign for their vote. Ultimately, these facts and figures tell a more objective story than any campaign ad or speech ever could. If we hope to keep Ohio voters informed and engaged in the decisions affecting their communities, we have to use modern means of communication.
2009: Campaign finance reports now on Cuyahoga Board of Elections website
Residents can look up campagn finance reports of candidates by going to the Cuyahoga County Board of Election's Web site. It's a first for Cuyahoga as the board continues to make good on its promise for open and easy access of public records.
Since 1999, the Ohio secretary of state's office has operated an online campaign finance database that provides information that is easy to search, download and analyze. If enacted, Senate Bill 206 would open the same database to county boards of elections, creating access to campaign finance reports for state and local candidates in the same place for those candidates who file electronically. Adding to the current database would save the public from having to search for campaign finance data in two different places, streamline filing requirements for candidates and eliminate unnecessary paperwork for local boards of elections. The legislation would also help Ohio's dedicated investigative journalists to do their jobs more effectively. There are only winners in this scenario.
As an elected official, I have actively championed legislation to make elections as efficient, transparent and accessible as possible for voters. In the past year alone, I have supported a budget amendment to fund electronic poll books statewide, authored legislation that will bring online voter registration to Ohio, and proposed a more fair and bipartisan way of drawing congressional district lines.
Some of these proposals attract more controversy than others, but modernizing Ohio's campaign finance law should not be a subject of contention. Put simply, Senate Bill 206 cuts red tape and administrative paperwork while improving transparency in local elections. In providing easy access to voters, Ohio has long been a national leader. Modernizing campaign finance law is another commonsense measure to continue this trend. Respectfully, I call on my colleagues in the Ohio House to take this important measure into serious consideration when we return to Columbus this fall.
It's time to put the buggy in the barn and let local candidates and elections officials join the modern world.
Republican State Sen. Frank LaRose of Hudson represents the 27th Ohio Senate District, encompassing all or part of Stark, Summit and Wayne counties.

#11214 new defect
Gmail talkgadget/hangouts/chat infinite loop

Version: Tor Browser Bundle 184.108.40.206
*please relocate to appropriate thread if incorrect*
Gmail allows for two types of chat: by default, hangouts, and by choice, legacy chat. These operate in a frame on the lower left of Gmail. Legacy chat works, but reverting to legacy chat from hangouts is impossible from Tor Browser Bundle 188.8.131.52, where an infinite loop interferes.
- Gmail load attempted with restrictive NoScript settings. Options appear: loosen restrictions, or use HTML only.
- mail.google.com is whitelisted in NoScript, as well as (optionally) some of the following domains:
- clients6.google.com
- plus.google.com
- talkgadget.google.com
- www.google.com
- Page is reloaded. The following error message appears in the lower left chat frame: "Something's not right. We're having trouble connecting to Google. We'll keep trying...\n This may be caused by network or proxy issues. Learn more.
- apis.google.com is whitelisted in NoScript, as recommended on the linked support page. Gmail is refreshed.
Infinite loop:
- Hangouts loads, with contact list visible. Within seconds, it disappears and is replaced with a Sign In button.
- The Sign In button is clicked. A pop-up appears with a log-in page from domain accounts.google.com. Password is entered; user signs in. Page declares success, instructs user to close pop-up and refresh Gmail.
- Go to step 5.
This bug prevents users from being able to use Google chat at all, since reverting to legacy chat requires accessing the main menu in talkgadget/hangouts.
Tried many combinations of NoScript whitelists. None works.

GMail is broken, when you allow apis.google.com in NoScript. When you login and GMail loads GTalk / Hangouts after showing the main window with your mails, the site redirect you to the login page and asks for your password again. This is an infinit loop. When you block the address it works fine. I found a similar behavior on eBay. Seems like a bug. This is very annoying. I would like to report this, but I don't understand the bug tracker system.

Annual Faith prize is Pope's legacy
— Some 1000 senior pupils from schools across Scotland taking part in 2013 Caritas Award
More than 1000 senior pupils from schools across Scotland are currently taking part in the 2013 Caritas Award.
Building on the success of last year's inaugural award, every Catholic secondary school in Scotland—and some non-denominational schools—has enrolled in this year's Caritas programme, which sees pupils helping in their schools and parish communities to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Faith and then applying to achieve the award at the end of the school year.
The Caritas Award was initiated in the school session 2011/2012 as a lasting legacy of Pope Benedict XVI's inspirational visit to Scotland in September 2010.
Legacy of love
Although Pope Benedict has now retired from his role as the Vicar of Christ, Michael McGrath, director of the Scottish Catholic Education Service, said that his legacy, and in particular his teaching on Caritas and Love, is something that should live on in the hearts and minds of young Scottish Catholics.
"Pope Benedict's teaching on Caritas and Love was foundational and something we would like to see continued in the Caritas programme," Mr McGrath said.
Last June, 450 young people were presented with the inaugural Caritas Award at a ceremony at Glasgow's Clyde Auditorium.
Mr McGrath is delighted that the Church has built on the success of last year's award programme to the extent that more than double the number of participants has signed up to take part this year.
"We have noticed a greater confidence in schools this year," he said. "The journal the young people are completing has given them structure and they have also seen videos of last year's awards ceremony, so the pupils know more about what they are involved in this year.
"They have been challenged to engage more with their parishes and we hope this will be something they continue to do when they leave school."
A total of 38 S6 pupils from St Andrew's and St Bride's High School in East Kilbride are currently working towards achieving the Caritas Award this summer.
Mary Glen, a religious education teacher at St Andrew's and St Bride's, has been working with the pupils, who, she said, have not only been helping in the school community but also at parish level.
This work has included pupils helping Fr Owen Ness, the school chaplain, at St Bride's Church in East Kilbride.
"Pupils have helped at various events in the parish, including a Mass for the Sick, a Mass for the Dead and helping with the Children's Liturgy," Mrs Glen said. "They have also helped to organise social events, including a parish Burns Night."
Senior pupils have also assisted at the three other East Kilbride parishes associated with St Andrew's and St Bride's: St Leonard's, Our Lady of Lourdes and St Vincent's.
This year's Caritas Award ceremony will take place at Glasgow's Clyde Auditorium on Sunday June 2, the feast of Corpus Christi.

Although shale drilling operations for oil and natural gas have increased greatly in the past decade, few studies directly quantify the impacts of shale development on plants and wildlife.
The potential environmental impacts of hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") as they relate to human health have been discussed at great depth, but there are relatively few major federal laws governing fracking activities.[1]
High-volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing (HVHHF) occurs at increasing density across potentially 280,000 km2 of the eastern United States
underlain at depth by the natural gas–bearing Marcellus and Utica shales. These industrial installations and their edge effects alter as much as 80% of local landscapes.
Eastern states from New York to West Virginia are undergoing largescale development of natural gas resources from the Marcellus shale.
