So I am staring at this blank page…wondering where do I start. For years, I have been painting what I see in front of me…a still life…a tree…a scene. To start from a blank page isn't so easy..Where do people get their ideas? From a dream? A vision? It seems overwhelming. So, I stop to remind myself I am doing this to stretch my creativity and imagination. So when I draw that tree…..or that landscape… I'm freer in my approach.
I was riding the subway in New York City…Nothing……so I decided that I'll just make a mark….but this was a bumpy ride and the straight line turn into a rough odd looking line…. A there it was….. My inspirations. HMMMM!
Where do you get your inspiration from?

Alistair Cattanach, a structural engineering consultant from Dunning Thornton-Beca, explains how modelling big earthquakes helped analyse the performance of base isolators. How do scientists know that the new Wellington Hospital will withstand the next big earthquake?
A lot of work a lot of testing, physical tests, and computer modeling software which has been used for non base isolation has been through the rigours of time. We have to try and imagine the likely earthquake that come out of the Wellington fault and one of the risks for this site is the Wiretap fault as well. So through Geological and Nuclear Sciences we selected 7 earthquakes which are very similar to what we think will come out of these faults. And we scaled them to give us our 1,000 year event which is the one where the hospital has to continue operating, and a 2,500 year event which is the extreme event where a hospital still shouldn't slide of its bearings. So we scaled those earthquakes and we ran 7 different ones through in the two different directions, so 14 different analysis we had to do. So we are pretty confident with the approach that we use to understand the physics of something that's a pretty extreme earthquake event.

Innovate Like Google
Google has long been respected as an innovative company. According to Jaime Casap, Senior Education Evangelist at Google, they had 217 updates to Google Apps in 2010. The operating system for Chrome Books is refreshed every 6 weeks. How do they do it? How do you create a culture of innovation? Here are a few insights from Jaime that Google uses to help keep the creative, innovative juices running at Google.
- Collect data – Data is used to solve user problems.
- Hire the best – Providing a creative and innovative environment attracts the best employees.
- Share the Information – Google leaders communicate information shared at their board meetings, as much as possible, to staff. Employees feel connected and inspired when they all share the vision of the company.
- Morph ideas, don't kill them – Even the failures have some important learnings that can be reused. Some of the technology behind Google Wave has been incorporated in Google+.
- Speed Matters – Google launches products when they feel they're about 80% done. This allows them to 'launch early and iterate'.
- Data drives ALL decisions – Google collects data on all products and uses that information to create better user experiences.
- Users come first – All users must be considered. Software engineers are thinking about solving user issues across the globe.
- 20% Projects – Google's engineers and thought leaders are encouraged to spend 20% of their time on anything. While not all results from this 20% time have resulted in Google products, there have been a few. Google's Gmail was given as an example.
- Creative Environment – Google's physical work environments are very deliberate. Slides, nap pods, pool tables and more provide an environment where employees are encouraged to be relaxed and approach problems from a creative perspective.
Want to learn more about how Google works? Jaime suggests reading the book, In The Plex: How Google Thinks, Works, and Shapes Our Lives.
How do you foster an innovative environment at your business?
'Make stuff that doesn't suck'.
It's so easy to get caught up in the 'tools' for business. Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, blogs and surveys. They're all fun. They're 'shiny'. The tough part of starting or running a small business is to manage all of the day-t0-day operations, sell and market, pay the employees and clean the toilet. There's so much to do, sometimes it's difficult to focus on the most important part of your business. Your product/service.
Fast Company featured an article about Jimmy Whales, founder of Wikipedia. It was titled Wikipedia Founder's Advice to Brands: "Make Stuff That Doesn't Suck". In it, Jimmy talks about how customers, now more than ever, have a platform and are eager to talk about products THAT SUCK. When you start focusing on the tools and trying to manage what people's perception is about your product, you've lost control of the only thing you can control. Your product/service.
I was reminded of this concept this week. Our home warranty, by Home Warranty of America, took over 10 days to fix our heater during the coldest part of the winter. Now, we didn't freeze, we live in AZ, but the part that frustrated me the most was the fact that WE had to initiate the calls to find out what was happening, when the HVAC company was coming out, etc. My husband received a call from HWA with a customer satisfaction survey. He answered with less than satisfactory answers and provided his phone number for follow up. To date, we have heard nothing. The funny thing is, our warranty is coming up for renewal. Do I want to renew with a company that 'makes stuff that suck'?
Shhh. Listen.
How many times do we hear/see that listening is important? I've lost count. The funny thing is, it really is important to listen. I found a great post about the Five Things Learned From Twit Stalking Competitors. Lisa Barone provides some great ideas about learning from your competitor.
She mentions her learnings come from checking out the user's account info, Twitter tools used, conversations, the kind of Twitter user they are and other social media tools used. Some of the thoughts she talks about are things I've followed for some time. For example, I do not auto-follow people. Each time someone follows me, I look at their profile to learn more. In other words, really listen and look at what's going on.
It's so easy to get caught up in the quick answer or automated answer. But there's real people and competitors behind these 'words'. Learn about the tools she mentions and find those that make sense for you. Understand the rational behind the analysis of Klout, Twitanalyzer and Twitter Grader. Take the time to listen and learn about what you're doing before you plan.
Today, Dick Costolo, the CEO of Twitter, announced their long-term vision of the company. He stated 'Twitter is about connecting for a purpose, not just connecting.' So, listen first and learn. What is your purpose of social media?
QR Codes
This week has me thinking of a couple of things. QR codes intrigue me. They look geeky. Another one of my thoughts is I hate business cards. Why are we still exchanging paper?!!
After a discussion with my brother-in-law about what tech things we're most looking forward to this year, we both mentioned the use of QR codes and it's growth here in the US. This prompted my research about QR codes with the specific intent to solve my frustration with business cards.
Here is what I've found so far.
VCards are what Outlook uses to store contact information. You may need to set up the vCard template and then copy the text to the QR generator.
A couple of the QR code generators that I found and liked were BeeTagg and Kaywa. Both generate QR codes for URLs, Phone, Text and SMS. BeeTagg also gives the option to create a contact page that can be used for people to add contact information to a web page for use with many smartphones. It even allows you to add a logo and even a message. Once the QR code is generated in BeeTagg, users are sent to a page like this:
The BeeTagg contact page can be then saved into a contact file without manual entry.
The vCard is really text that is sent and recipients of the contact info will need to save the file as a .vcf for their Outlook Contacts. Of course, you may also just save your contact info as text and have recipients copy and paste the info to their files.
Remember, you'll need to download a QR reader for your phone. I've been using QRReader on my iPhone and it seems to have read codes fine and it's FREE!
I'm not the greatest typist so I think I'll save a vCard option and use my page in BeeTagg and start putting my 'geek' on for my next round of business cards.
Have you used QR codes? What generators do you like? What QR readers or apps do you use? Do you find them helpful?
Another Trip Around The Sun
Of course you can't escape the predictions for the new year during this week. I've been reading a lot of them and have come up with a few that I've seen frequently and that I think have merit.
Cloud Computing – This has been something I've been intrigued with for some time now. Don't think it's the wave of the future? Microsoft's Steve Ballmer stated this year that over seventy percent of their employees are doing something related cloud computing and probably over ninety percent soon. The use of web-based apps can help small businesses save time and money. I'll be checking out some accounting apps such as Yendo, Outright and Xero for small business which are little to no-cost solutions.
Increased spending on websites/IT – It was amazing to me to read that only about 30 percent of small business site included options for e-commerce. With shopping cart options in WordPress and other low-cost shopping engines, it's a relatively easy piece to add to a site with a big return. Small businesses are in a great spot to take advantage of lower cost technologies that fit this group like a glove. What is the first thing you do when you're checking out a new product or service? Check out their website? Exactly. Provide as much information and help your customer buy what they want, when they want and how they want.
Smartphones – One of the companies I work with has a software provider that does not believe mobile technology is a priority. Yet, this is one of the trends I see again and again in the 2011 predictions. It's also a trend I see for myself in my day-to-day living. I check everything on my phone. My time on my pc has dwindled to a few tasks while the greatest amount of my 'online' experience is on the phone. It is predicted that one in three people will have phones with Web browsing and application download capabilities in 2011. Will your customers find you on their phones and/or will they be able to transact with you from mobile applications?
Local – We've all heard about the local checkin apps from Yelp, Gowalla and Foursquare. With the increase in mobile technology and usage, it's all about being local. People are looking to relevant local solutions for their searches. Do you find your business in local searches? What about your advertising? Are you looking at working with local advertising options?
What are your predictions or comments for this next trip around the sun?
Christmas 'To Do List' for Small Businesses
Everyone has their Christmas list, but this one has a twist. It isn't a 'wish list', it's a 'to do list'.
1. Thank Your Employees – Taking time to thank each of your employees with a note or 'pat on the back' goes a long way.
2. Thank Your Customers – Everyone gets cards, how about a call (maybe a visit) from you to your top 10 customers?
3. Charity Remember the community you serve. What can you do to give back? Toy drive? Food drive? Fund raising? Involve your employees too. It was amazing to see the camaraderie that was inspired from a toy drive at one company.
4. Social Media – You may be taking time off for the holidays, but not all of your customers will be watching football bowl games and eating turkey. Let them know you're thinking about them and keep the posts/tweets/etc. coming. This may be the only way you'll be able to reach some of your customers during this time. You'll also demonstrate consistency and dedication. Not bad qualities in a small business.
The holidays are hectic and crazy, but taking the time to remember these 'to dos' help remind us of the important things about being a small business owner – employees and customers!
A tale of two social media promotions
This is a tale of 2 different uses of social media and my thoughts on each. One, in my humble opinion, abuses the intent of the channel while the other embraces the appropriate use for all those involved.
You may have heard by now that Toyota is using Twitter to promote their Toyotathon. Potential customers will receive a $500 debit card if they purchase a new Toyota and tweet about it before January 3. The tweet needs to read "If I get my new Toyota during Toyotathon they'll give me $500 just for this Tweet. http://buyatoyota.com @Toyota #shareathon." Many believe the $500 is a cost effective way to spread the word about the sales event as well as incentivize customers to purchase their product.
Now it's my opinion. I don't want to get 'spam' from my Twitter friends. That will be the quickest way for me to unfollow you. Would I care if you told me that you got a great deal from a dealership or that you reviewed the benefits of a Toyota and a competitor? Yes, that is interesting to me. Getting paid-for-Twitter posts, in my opinion, devalues the concept of why I use this channel. Would I expect something like that from a brand that I follow? Yes. but I am more strategic about the brands I follow. My expectations from friends are different. I expect information, updates, news, etc. Toyota has pushed the intent of this application.
Now let's take a look at another social media tool – Foursquare. Erin Spalling and Nicholas Hall created a checkin in Foursqare using their new Alpha 2.0 API. 'New Year's Eve House Party Requires Foursquare Checkin to Get In' allows you to unlock their door by checking into their apartment. I love the use of a physical location application and Foursquare. Why do I give kudos to this application and not Toyota's? It all comes down to the use of channel. Foursquare's purpose is checking into a location and letting people know you're there – friends/followers and the actual location. The information that a location can get from something like this would be interesting for a business. I also see the opportunity for more types of applications like this for businesses. What about linking a checkin to a printer at a restaurant or bar for a coupon for a free drink? This helps put a face with a 'checkin' for customers and a business. What about a room upgrade at a hotel for a guest checking in? This use of Foursquare maintains the original intent of the application as well as provide a value to both the customer, business without making your followers/friends feel spammed or abused.
How could Toyotathon have been executed this promotion in a better way? How about using Foursquare to checkin and get the debit card instead of tweeting about it? Not only would it still get the word out to Foursquare followers, but it also helps create a relationship with the local dealer and the customer promoting the LOCAL business to the LOCAL market.
Is there a difference in how brands should use social media and could these promotions be viewed as spam by their customers' followers and friends? Are there better examples of brands using social media?

Everyone who has ever been successful has mentors. If mentor is too formal a word for art than people they admire and look to their work for inspiration. The access to online portfolios, flickr and tweets about photo shoots has expanded my view. But ultimately there are a handful of photographers over the years whose work has stuck with me – so here is my list of FIVE Photographers that I respect and admire their work. (In no particular order.)
BEN CORNISH: Who is Ben Cornish? Ben is a filmmaker that lives in Denver but growing up he was one of my best friends. Ben was the person who always had a 35mm camera or a video camera with him. I know somewhere there are umpteen boxes of VHS tapes and photographs from our high school days and thereafter. I've always liked the diverse subjects Ben shot. One day it would be a skate session and then maybe a concert we were going to later and probably along the way he would pull the car over to take a picture of a cool tree by the side of the road. Ben made it ok for me to take photos and to have a camera with me often.
GLEN E. FRIEDMAN: If you don't know who Glen E. Friedman is – look it up. Glen documented two groundbreaking subjects in history (and my life) – early days of skateboarding and the east coast music movement (both punk rock and hip-hop.) Glen's unique composition and powerful portraits are the envy of many photographer. Often before going to shoot a concert or a portrait I will look at one of his amazing books to get ideas on position, lighting and composition. I know I am not alone when I say – Glen E. Friedman has influenced me more than any other photographer. (Period.)
TODD OWYOUNG: Todd is a Concert Photographer from Los Angeles, CA. The thing that always strikes me about Todd's work is the amazing colors. Concert photography is usually a fight with light. He is able to make the lighting work for him and produce excellent work. What I admire most about Todd is his transparency. Usually his posts include what lenses were used and his camera settings. As I refer to Glen's books I also refer to Todd's website to gain insight on technical aspects of concert photography. He has helped my progression as an artist.
CHADWICK FOWLER: I have known of Chadwick for a while now – but I first met him spring of 2009. Chadwick is a professional photographer from Phoenix, AZ that specializes only in great shots. His business is segmented into Commercial Photography, Concert / Music Photography and Portrait Photography. He has a passion for getting the best photo at the perfect moment. More than that he has a passion for his craft (photography) – I know because I have seen him in action. Chadwick sets the bar high for us photographers in Phoenix and we are all better for it. Check out his work. www.chadwickfowler.com
CRAIG BLANK: I've known Craig since the early 80's. Craig was one of our best friend's (older) brother. I don't know what to say about Craig's photographs – whether it's about his architecture work, product work or portraits – His photos always capture that thing. (It's difficult to put into words.) Again, these are the shots I am continually seeking. Craig is probably one of the most technical photographers I know (graduated from School of Visual Arts in NYC.) When I see Craig's work it always makes me pick up my camera and photograph something.
There's my list. These are the artists that I work to be named with at someday. Who are your favorite photographers – I want to know so I can expand my circle influence. (Happy 2010 to everyone.)

Archaeologists working in Ecuador have recently presented their findings concerning Incan fortresses during the time of the Spanish invasion. The team identified more than 20 fortresses and 2 forts built in Ecuador during the height of the Incan Empire. These findings lend credence to the stories relayed by Conquistadors about the power and mobility of the Incan Armies.
The fortified structures displayed preparation for assault, long-term investment, and violent death. To learn more about these findings, read the article presented on FoxNews.

THE long wait is over for Antrim hurling fans as they will get their first glimpse of life under Jerry Wallace on Sunday. Wexford provide the opposition in the first game of the new-look National Hurling League 1B and many will be intrigued as to whether the
Antrim must keep a keen eye on Dublin hurling development
We now enter a very quiet period in the GAA world but first congratulations have to be given to the Minor hurlers of St John's and the Under 16 footballers of Rossa as each won the Ulster competitions in their respective codes last weekend.
Wallace explains Walsh withdrawl
ANTRIM hurling manager Jerry Wallace has explained his decision to remove Antrim from next year's Walsh Cup competition is in order to ensure his team can hit the ground running in the National League.
He also cleared up the debate regarding the spelling of his name – he says either Wallace or Wallis is acceptable.
"Wallace is on the birth certificate, but both spellings can be used. I have been called worse in hurling," laughed the new Antrim boss.
Up from Cork to meet a hero of our wounded city

A peanut allergy is a reaction that occurs when your body mistakenly identifies peanuts as harmful substances, causing your immune system to release chemicals, including histamine, into your blood. The allergy is fairly common; it's one of the most common causes of severe allergy attacks, and even tiny amounts of peanuts or products that contain them can cause a serious reaction.
A mild reaction may result in a runny nose, skin rash, stomachache or tingling on the lips or tongue, but reactions can worsen, causing throat tightening, wheezing, vomiting and diarrhea. People who are allergic to peanuts can also suffer from a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis, which can cause difficulty breathing, a dangerous drop in blood pressure and death. Anaphylaxis usually happens within minutes but can occur after several hours of consuming peanuts.

The Great Britain Taekwondo Team today returned from Beijing after having competed in the 2007 WTF World Taekwondo Championships in the Chinese capital. The five day event, which finished yesterday, provided the young team with vital experience as they look forward to the Olympic Qualification Event in Manchester later this year.
The Great Britain Team was hindered by 2005 World Championship silver medallist Sarah Stevenson (All Stars Taekwondo Club, Doncaster) fracturing her hand during competition but she is not considered to be a doubt for Olympic Qualification in Manchester in September.
Gary Hall, Performance Director for the BTCB Sport Taekwondo UK Ltd, commented, "We didn't get the medals we had hoped for, but some of our performances against top players were world-class. Unfortunately, preparations for the World Championships were hampered by some essential coaching changes which affected the critical final taper of the athletes but I have every confidence that these were for the long-term good of the sport. We will now look to put things right ahead of this September's Olympic Qualification Event in Manchester. All of our staff and players are fully committed to working tirelessly to ensuring Great Britain is in the best possible position to win medals at next year's Olympic Games and then at London 2012 and I am still confident we are on course do to so."
Five of the World Championship Team will still be eligible to fight at the European Junior Championships in October but the team will now focus attentions on qualifying for the Olympics next year in Beijing.

BERLIN.- The Tchoban Foundation is showing 65 art works of Hôtel particulier buildings – prestigious town houses, which were built in the first part of the 18th century and characterize Parisian architecture until today.
After Sergei Tchoban, architect and founder of the Tchoban Foundation for Architectural Drawing, showed his collection of 24 drawings at the École des Beaux-Arts in 2011 with the exhibition "À la source de l' Antique. La collection de Sergei Tchoban", the two institutions now continue their collaboration, this time with a selection of works from Paris that are being displayed in Berlin.

The displayed hand-drawn views, cross sections and floor plans are part of the large collection of École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, which is internationally acclaimed both for its singular monumental architecture as well as for the standard it sets in education.
The École's collection is a treasure-trove of hand-drawn works, only rivaled in quantity and quality by the Louvre. The exquisite works on paper span a range from the Renaissance until today, presenting masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Rubens, Poussin and Bucher side by side.

Many of you are working hard or finishing up exams right now. I thought I would post something to lighten up the mood and amp up spirits!
You may have already seen this but if you haven't (and if even if you have), this is a fun video clip shot at the new Ohio Union. It features synchronized dancing to a song from the band Journey, as sung by the cast of Glee. (One of my favorite television shows!)
If you get a chance to visit campus, I strongly making a trip to and through the Ohio Union. Who knows, maybe you'll become a YouTube star!

We get an organic vegetable box delivered weekly. It's quite fun because I'm never organised enough to specify what goes in it, so we get a random selection of things and then have to invent ways of eating them. Mostly the results are deliciously edible.
BUT, I thought that there would be no delivery this week, seeing as it's new year and everything, so I went out and bought a whole load of vegetables on the market a couple of days ago, including a large and impressive cauliflower.
Imagine my delight then, when our organic box WAS delivered, to find ANOTHER large and impressive cauliflower in it! Good job we like cauliflower.
So, inspired by the combination of cauli, eggs and parsley found in cauliflower a la polonaise, I decided to make a cauliflower risotto with fresh parsley, and top it with crispy eggs. I suspect this would be really good with runny-yolked poached eggs, but Kipper likes them crispy, so that's what I did. In fact, she liked the crispy egg so much that she wolfed hers down and then robbed some off my plate, too. Harumph.
The cauliflower risotto took about 40 minutes to make, start to finish, and served two adults and a littl'un, with a bit left over.
- Approximately 350g medium cauliflower florets - roughly half a cauliflower
- 500ml vegetable stock
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 small, or 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 150g arborio or carnaroli rice (or other rice suitable for risotto)
- 25g parmesan or similar hard cheese, grated
- A handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 eggs
- Put the cauliflower florets in a pan with the vegetable stock and simmer for 4-5 minutes until just tender. Remove the florets with a slotted spoon and keep the stock warm.
- Meanwhile, in a separate pan, sauté the onions in the olive oil until just translucent. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for another minute or two.
- Add the stock a little at a time, stirring well each time. Keep at a low simmer, covered, between additions, and stir occasionally. The rice should take 15-20 minutes to cook through. Check by cutting a grain in half to check whether the centre is cooked. Alternatively, try a bit!
- Once the rice is cooked, stir in the parmesan, chopped parsley and cauliflower, then cover and set aside while you cook the eggs. If your cauliflower risotto looks a bit 'dry' add a tablespoon or two of boiling water with the cheese and cauli.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan until very hot. Break the eggs into a jug, and when the oil is ready, pour all three into the pan. Use a spatula to nudge the yolks so they are evenly spaced.
- Once the white is mostly set, use the edge of the spatula to score it into three segments. Cook a little longer until the bottom is crispy and the egg is no longer stuck to the pan. Turn the three segments over and cook the other side for a few seconds until it is also nice and crispy.
- Drain on kitchen paper before serving on top of the risotto.

We asked A-list hair stylist Ben Cooke to reveal his ultimate holiday heat- and humidity-proof hairstyles – quick, simple and sexy
When the temperature goes up, so should your hair. "The beauty of a top knot is that it keeps everything off your neck – just the ticket when you need to keep cool," says Ben. "Scrunch some texturising spray into the lengths then twist into a knot. Or apply a conditioning treatment before you throw it up so the product bakes into your hair during the day."
Placement of your knot is everything – if you have a long face, Ben suggests fixing it further back, but if your face is wider then pop it right at the top to balance out your features. "By the time you let your hair down, you'll have big, beachy waves that look stunning, without needing to faff around with a hairdryer," says Ben.
"Team your waves with a deep side parting – be bold and go deeper than you would at home. Holidays are about having fun with styles you don't always have the time or confidence to try at home."
When you're splashing about in the pool or sea, a ponytail isn't enough to stop hair from getting in a tangle. For added holiday flair, try side braids – a beach-savvy style that keeps locks secure from root to tip. "Essentially it's just a French plait, but in very fine sections that go over rather than under to give it a fashion edge. There are lots of videos on YouTube that will help you perfect your technique," says Ben.
"Key to keeping this look grown-up and chic is to start plaiting high up so you can see the braids from the front," he explains. "Take time to make a really clean centre parting. If you feel it's too exposed, you can gently ruffle the braids with your fingers to loosen them off later."
For bonus points, when the plait comes out you'll have super crinkly hair that's ready to wear.
Balmy nights are perfect ponytail weather – but adding a pretty micro plait takes the look to new levels of gorgeous. "A little frizz around your ponytail adds to the charm of this look, but pulling back two sections at the side helps control the shape if humidity levels run high," Ben says.
Take two decent sections of hair from behind your ears and pull them up to meet in the middle at the back, then tie into a knot. Repeat the knot three more times. The finished look may hold on its own, or secure it with a tiny clear elastic band.
"Dust hair powder on the top of your head and through the length of your ponytail – work it in with fingertips to add volume and absorb any excess oil, then finish with a mist of shine spray." Easy.

Long distance self-supported endurance rides in the WI countryside.
It seemed like a great day to ride, but I did not go either.
How did it go, guys? I wanted to ride, but since it's my bday today, my wife didn't want me on the bike all day, ha.
I might do a 200K if I feel good enough Fri evening to drive early in the morning. That way, if I happen!? to finish a 400K and 600K late summer, I won't need to go searching for a 200K to become a super man randonneur.

Kansas has a problem. In April and May, the state planned to collect $651 million from personal income tax. But instead, it received only $369 million.
In 2012, Kansas lawmakers passed a large and rather unusual income tax cut. It was expected to reduce state tax revenue by more than 10 percent, and Gov. Sam Brownback said it would create "tens of thousands of jobs."
In part, the tax cut worked in the typical way, by cutting tax rates and increasing the standard deduction. But Kansas also eliminated tax on various kinds of income, including income described commonly — and sometimes misleadingly — as "small-business income." Basically, if your income results in the generation of a Form 1099-MISC instead of a W-2, it's probably not taxable anymore in Kansas.
Consider me. I draw a salary from The New York Times; if I lived in Kansas, I'd pay state income tax on it. I also earn income from other news outlets, including MSNBC, where I am not a payroll employee. That makes me a "small-business owner" in the eyes of the government, and if I lived in Kansas, my income from MSNBC would be tax-free.
While no state has gone as far as Kansas, four others — Missouri, Ohio, Oregon and South Carolina — have passed laws in the last decade that give some small-business owners lower tax rates than wage earners.
By creating this preference for some types of income over others, Kansas has run into at least five problems:
It's sometimes possible to turn taxable salary income into untaxed "business" income.
The Times has me on its staff, but it could commission freelance work from me instead. Income from the same work would then become tax-free under the Kansas rules.
Jim Dunning Jr., managing partner of Dunning & Associates C.P.A.s in Wichita, says he has seen a few clients change the way their businesses are incorporated to take advantage of the tax law. Many small firms are structured as S-corporations, and federal law requires an S-corporation's owner-managers to pay themselves at least a "reasonable" salary. But by converting to a limited liability company, or L.L.C., owners can set their salaries to zero and take all of their income from the company as profits, thus avoiding any Kansas tax.
A lot of the beneficiaries of the tax break won't be small businesses.
Many are sole proprietors like me, who are fundamentally engaged in labor, not entrepreneurship, and aren't likely to hire anybody just because they receive a tax break.
At the other end of the spectrum, there's no size limit on "small businesses" as defined by Kansas and the Internal Revenue Service. The Kansas tax break does not extend to C-corporations, the typical corporate form used by large publicly traded companies. But large companies can be structured in forms typically used by small businesses. For example, as of 2005, only 0.2 percent of business partnerships — which Kansas counts as small businesses — had earnings of more than $50 million, but they accounted for 57 percent of all partnership earnings.
The investment giant Fidelity Investments converted from a C-corporation to an L.L.C. in 2007, and thus stopped paying corporate-level income tax. Fidelity's owners pay federal tax on the share of Fidelity's income attributable to them, but in Kansas the income would not face state income tax at either the corporate or the individual level.
It's not clear that there's anything special about small businesses for the purpose of job creation.
A 2013 study by economists from the Census Bureau and the University of Maryland found that while young firms add jobs more quickly than older ones, the size of a firm does not appear to drive job growth.
And indeed, while Governor Brownback wrote last month that the tax cuts were allowing businesses to "hire more people and invest in needed equipment," job growth in Kansas has been modest since he signed the bill, trailing the national average and the rate in three of its four neighboring states.
Some of the revenue loss doesn't even benefit taxpayers.
Let's say you own an L.L.C. in Kansas but live in Oklahoma. Mr. Dunning, the accountant in Wichita, described clients in this situation who have oil and gas interests along the state border. The tax change in Kansas relieves those business owners of their obligation to pay income tax to Kansas — but they also lose a credit on their Oklahoma tax returns for taxes paid to Kansas, so they just end up paying more to Oklahoma. This provides no particular incentive to do business in Kansas.
Small-business owners who switch from an S-corporation to a limited liability company also face a federal tax hit that partly offsets their Kansas tax savings, again enriching another government at Kansas' expense, and blunting the tax changes' benefit to businesses. All of which brings us to the last issue.
The state budget is suffering.
Of course, lawmakers in Kansas knew when they passed the tax cuts that this would happen; the question is whether they will lose even more revenue than they expected over the long run.
The Kansas Legislative Research Department — the state-level equivalent of the Congressional Budget Office — issued a memo this month saying that "it appears that some of the fiscal notes associated with various income tax law changes enacted in 2012 and 2013 were understated." Translation: It looks as if we gave out a bigger tax cut than we thought.
Steve Stotts, the director of taxation at the Kansas Department of Revenue, disagrees. He says the April and May shortfall is driven by a one-time federal tax event unrelated to Kansas state policy that isn't indicative of future revenue shortfalls.
The "fiscal cliff" at the end of 2012 induced people to shift whatever income they could into 2012 to take advantage of low capital-gains tax rates before they went up. That lifted income tax collections, but only for one year (2013, when final payments for tax year 2012 were made). As a result, income tax receipts in 2014 are lower than they were in 2013, and many states underestimated just how much they would drop.
But Kansas missed by more than most. According to data collected by the Rockefeller Institute, of 17 states that produce public monthly income tax revenue projections, Kansas' April error — off by 28 percent — was by far the largest. No other state missed by more than 16 percent, suggesting that a failure to anticipate falling capital gains tax revenue was not the only problem in Kansas.
As revenue comes in over the next few months, Kansas will learn just how big of a tax cut it's given out in the name of small business, and what it will have to do to the rest of the state budget to make the tax cut affordable.

In 1949, in response to a statement that women would rule the world in the year 2000, Sir Winston Churchill replied, "Still?..."
Fierce, brutal, vital, outcome in doubt, a noble endeavor, worthy of valiant struggle. Various theories abound, but all exalt the glory of the conflict, and none advocate the laying down of arms. That is. . . until now. Rex Havens has a simple message for the men of America:
"Sorry, fellas, it's over, we lost!"

The Swift Sail is an upgraded version of the Sail and a new item added in the HD re-release of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. The Swift Sail allows Link to sail at greater speeds than the Sail allows; it also changes the wind direction depending on the direction in which he is sailing, removing the need to play the "Wind's Requiem" to sail in a different direction.
Link can purchase this item when it randomly appears in the Windfall Auction.

Teen clocks carjacker, jumps to safety
A 14-year-old in Durham, North Carolina, is lucky to be alive after an attempted car jacking had him riding shotgun with a masked, armed criminal.
The youth was attending Sunday church service with his family when he decided to skip out to the car and listen to music.
With the youth sitting in the passenger seat, a masked man with a handgun jumped in the driver's seat and told him not to make a move. As the criminal drove away, the boy knew he needed to escape.
Self defense experts warn that you should never go anywhere with a criminal, because chances are good you won't come back.
The boy wanted to jump out of the car, but he waited until the time was right.
As the car slowed down near a strip of grass and the criminal had the handgun in his lap, the youngster punched the criminal in the face and jumped out the passenger door.
Police report he had minor injuries, but he refused treatment.
This isn't the first time this month that an unlucky victim of an abduction did the right thing and got away. Two women used similarly smart tactics in separate cases about two weeks ago (Police praise women's self defense decisions).
In all three cases, victims fought back, got away and avoided being trapped in the middle of nowhere with dangerous criminals.

I am a newbie traveler. I fell in love with traveling when I first went overseas, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2008. It wasn't a great destination but it was good enough to convince me that getting lost in the crowd, haggling for good buys, discovering great treats, listening to locals speak their own language and that feeling of anonymity are experiences worth repeating. Over and over again, no matter how trivial it is.
After that, I have planned birthday trips and I hope this will continue on until the day that I physically can't travel anymore.
2009 – Hong Kong (1/2 day)
2009 – Macau
2010 – The Move to Singapore
2011 – Batam, Indonesia (Although it's a post-birthday celebration)
2012 – Home
So, where to on 2013? 🙂

Great opinion piece by David Brooks on why fathers matter. "The Heart Grows Smarter" Key quotes:
- "It was the capacity for intimate relationships that predicted flourishing in all aspects of these men's lives."
- "In case after case, the magic formula is capacity for intimacy combined with persistence, discipline, order and dependability. The men who could be affectionate about people and organized about things had very enjoyable lives."
- "Perhaps we could invent something called the Grant Effect, on the improvement of mass emotional intelligence over the decades. This gradual change might be one of the greatest contributors to progress and well-being that we've experienced in our lifetimes."

Jules and I were so delighted to be asked onto Loose Women to talk about the inspiration behind my new novel Best Laid Plans. It tells the story of an autistic boy's search for love and intimacy – highlighting the fact that when it comes to sex, we all have special needs right? The novel is a comedic confection but the opening chapter in which a middle-aged, middle-class Mum gets arrested while kerb-crawling to pick up a prostitute for her autistic son, is based on reality.
The interview was pre-recorded, and went really well. Jules , who plays Jason on BBC's Holby City, was both charming and illuminating (he's a great campaigner for autistic charities) but, unfortunately, half way through the screened interview, just as Julius started to speak, the sound evaporated. What's worse, viewers presumed it was because Jules had said something inappropriate, which did cast autistic people in a bad light.
So, just to set the record straight, here is the full interview. And, as I'm sure you'll see, Jules was poised and articulate and also, quite funny. I couldn't be more proud of him and of what he's achieved. And for helping me to promote not just my new novel, Best Laid Plans, (she says, dropping her own name!) but also for helping to take the stigma out of autism.

It's past midnight, so I'll keep this brief. After previously consolidating most of my blogs into one (Alpha Gecko), I've decided to bring the internet marketing related portions back here. The reasons for that will become more obvious after I find time to develop a few concepts I have for making the White Hat Crew site a lot more active. For now, welcome to the new White Hat Crew blog. In just a second, I'll post something here that you'll want to act on quickly--you'll know why I'm posting after midnight when you see it--and then I'll go to sleep.

Birding at Millwood State Park
Arkansas offers exceptional birding opportunities throughout the state. One prime location is Millwood Lake in Ashdown. The lake and the surrounding environs are rated tops in the state for bird watching.
Three destinations — the lake, the spillway and Okay Levee – have produced an amazing number of rare sightings over the years. Among those birds captured with binoculars: the Long-tailed Jaeger, Sabine's Gull, the Black-headed Gull, Magnificent Frigatebird, and the Bridled Tern. The state's first ever Cave Swallow was recorded as being sighted near the spillway on May 29, 2005.
Beard's Bluff Overlook and the parking lot below Beard's Bluff campground are excellent locations from which to scope the lake. The overlook and nearby Beard's Lake campground can both be excellent for migrating passerines such as warblers, vireos and orioles.
The Okay Levee area has traditionally produced the best land-bird rarities including Say's Phoebe, Vermilion Flycatcher, Couch's Kingbird, Northern Wheatear, McCown's Longspur, Groove-billed Ani, and in 2007 a pair of Snow Buntings.
Millwood Lake became an Important Birding Area on January 31, 2004. More details about Millwood State Park can be found at www.arkansasstateparks.com/millwood/ or by calling 870-898-2800.

It's not quite the end of the year, but this past week had news about things coming up in 2011: Brad Womack's second appearance on The Bachelor was spoiled, so you can find out who he picked, if he picked anyone, while one of the Biggest Loser trainers is leaving the show after next season.
Meanwhile, we learned how much money reality stars get; that The Apprentice filmed two endings, one for each possible hire; the Big Brother groupie who received naked pictures from at least two cast members might actually be a male college student. Americans are totally over David Hasselhoff, whose show was cancelled after just two episodes; and Sarah Palin hunting got reaction but not many people watched.
Finally, we started to celebrate the 12 Days of Reality TV: Richard Hatch sitting in a tree on Survivor, two dog bites in the vagina from an aggressive dog on Bravo's Showdog Moms and Dads, and three people fighting on The Real World ("it wasn't not funny!").
The Past: last week's most-read stories
- Big Brother's Brendon admits to cheating on Rachel via Skype affair, naked pic posted
- Nude pictures of Big Brother's James Rhine posted by person who was accused of being a fraud a year ago
- IM conversation adds to evidence that Big Brother groupie Molly Shephard is fake
- Amazing Race 18 will be an all-star season and is now filming; teams identified
- Brad Womack's second Bachelor season spoiled
- Jillian Michaels quitting Biggest Loser to have a kid
The Forward: what to watch this week
- Sunday, Dec. 12
Tonight, The Amazing Race 17 [CBS, 8 p.m.], ends its so-so season, hopefully with a long-overdue win by a female team. With two strong teams of women and one arrogant couple left, the women have odds on their side, at the very least. But will they have a good cab driver? Basketball Wives returns for a second season [VH1, 8 p.m.] with a new cast member: Tami from The Real World Los Angeles. And starting tonight, Andy Cohen takes his half-hour cable access chat show, Watch What Happens Live, nightly [Bravo, 11 p.m.]. The amazing part is that Andy is able to draw big-name guests, such as Anderson Cooper tonight and Amy Sedaris and Denise Richards later in the week.
- Monday, Dec. 13
The reality show that follows the brutal reality of the lives of addicts, Intervention, returns for its 10th season [A&E, 9 p.m.]. Earlier, the feel-good holiday competition The Sing Off [NBC, 8 p.m.] continues as the final six a capella groups perform.
- Tuesday, Dec. 14
The Biggest Loser ends its 10th season [NBC, 9 p.m.], and we'll see if the person who lost the most weight actually wins the cash. On a Dirty Jobs clip show [Discovery, 9 p.m.], Mike Rowe will look back at holiday-themed jobs he's tried out, such as working with reindeer or cranberries. Also, The Fashion Show [Bravo, 10 p.m.] returns after taking a week off; this season is better than the first, which was a bad Project Runway clone, but is it worth watching now that there's so much more personal drama?
- Wednesday, Dec. 15
It's Survivor Nicaragua's final Wednesday episode [CBS, 8 p.m.], and previews reveal it's the always-emotional family visit episode–and Jeff Probst says someone will be executed. What?! Later, Hell's Kitchen ends its eighth season [Fox, 9 p.m.]. As is becoming tradition, last season's winner didn't get the announced prize, so it's unclear why the show continues to bother with chef prizes; they should just give cash.
- Thursday, Dec. 16
The beer-themed series Brew Masters ends its first season [Discovery, 8 p.m.], while a new, not-quite-holiday-themed series debuts tonight with back-to-back episodes: The Peacemaker: L.A. Gang Wars [A&E, 10 p.m.]. It follows a man who mediates between warring gangs.

As I roam from junkyard to junkyard, documenting the interesting vehicles, I see hundreds -- thousands -- of examples of the iconic Car-Freshner Little Tree air freshener twisting in the car-graveyard breezes. A car destined for the knacker's yard tends to be in need of olfactory improvement, which is the reason I see so many Little Trees, and today's gallery celebrates a lesser-known (and now discontinued) scent: White Water. Photographed over a period of six years and in three states, here are some White Water trees that went to The Crusher along with their vehicles.
For more Little Trees in Junkyard Cars galleries, you can see Citrus, New Car Scent, Morning Fresh, Vanillaroma, Pure Steel, Bayside Breeze, Cinna-Berry, Watermelon, Strength, Leather, Coconut, Peachy Peach, Wild Cherry, Royal Pine, Cotton Candy and rarely smelled scents. You'll find one in every car. You'll see.

Dead-Beat Vase Finally Sold
A Chinese vase for which a bidder offered a record 51.6 million pounds ($83 million) at auction more than two years ago has been re-sold for less than half that price, after the original purchaser failed to pay.
The elaborately decorated 18th-century porcelain vase, described as being made for the Qianlong Emperor, was auctioned by Bainbridge Auctions in Ruislip, west London, on Nov. 11, 2010.
Art collectors of Art Kabinett social network have been following this story ever since.
The original winning bid was more than 50 times the pre-sale estimate, and considered an absurd price for the work. It was a record sum for any Asian work of art ever offered at auction.
The bid was made by an agent in the room on behalf of the Beijing-based collector, Wang Yaohui.
However, Wang never paid for the vase, leaving its value --- along with comparative Qianlong antiquities -- in limbo
The consignors, a retired solicitor, Tony Johnson and his mother Gene, waited two years for a resolution. They have now sold the vase to another buyer for an undisclosed price between 20 million pounds and 25 million pounds.
The private transaction was brokered by the London-based auction house Bonhams.
The vase has now been exported. Not surprisingly, the new owner has been identified by dealers as another Asian collector.
"Bonhams is pleased to confirm the sale of the vase for an undisclosed sum, in a private treaty deal," according to an email from Julian Roup, Bonhams's director of press and marketing.
House Cleaning
The Qing-dynasty rarity, shown here, featuring a pierced "reticulated" body painted in a pastel-colored "famille rose" palette, was discovered during a routine house clearance in the London suburb of Pinner.
The record bid for the so-called "Ruislip Vase" was the highest of a series of big-ticket prices for imperial Chinese porcelain that were pledged, if not always paid, by Asian bidders at auctions in 2010.
Auction sales of art and antiques in China in 2010 were valued at 6 billion euros ($8.6 billion), a 177 percent increase on 2009, according to a European Fine Art Foundation report published in March 2011.
Further auctions and dealer transactions in the West turned the trade in Chinese artifacts into a business worth more than $10 billion, according to Bloomberg calculations.
Since then, demand for Chinese antiques has declined as growth in the Chinese economy contracted and western auction houses introduced deposits to deter non-payers.
Though Bainbridges's original bill for the imperial vase was never met in full, the auction house had received an interim payment, said persons with knowledge of the matter.
Peter Bainbridge, the company's director, had consistently declined to comment on the non-payment of the vase, citing a confidentiality clause.
Wang Yaohui -- the original dead-beat bidder -- is the Beijing-based chairman of Zhonghui Guohua Industrial Group Co., Ltd.
Zhonghui Guohua is a conglomerate with interests that include real estate, hi-tech industry, construction and minerals.

Cameron's Dark 266 Beer Review
Originally brewed as a one-of draught beer for speciality beer bars, demand for this brew was high so it was re-released in bottles. A deceptively dark beer, Cameron's Dark 266 is brewed with lager yeast making the results lighter tasting than one would expect.
A nice all-around dark beer, Cameron's has long been one of our favourite darks, when we can find it. I have been drinking almost exclusively this brew over the last few days as I have been stuck at home with a broken ankle and, while I usually prefer a nice IPA, I have found myself enjoying each drop.


text: This is Fluttershy for a birthday card for my niece. The pattern is from mylittlecscharts at deviantART and the alphabet is by Ellen Maurer-Stroh. This was more trouble than it should have been; I started with a different pony, and after two tries could not get the colors right. I suffered from a complete inability to count while working on it as well; aside from problems with the head, the word "HAPPY" took three tries (one with a smaller alphabet and one too far left) and I'm still not entirely happy with its position or the position of "BIRTHDAY".

Connecticut gun dealers plead guilty to federal firearms offenses
BRIDGEPORT >> Two owners of a Newington business face a maximum of one year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000 after pleading guilty Wednesday to violating federal firearms laws, the U.S. Attorney for Connecticut said in a press release.
Brian Vanacore, 48, of North Branford and Greg Bodytko, 54, of Northford ran a gun store located at 2585 Berlin Turnpike, called BMG LLC. The company is also known as BMG Guns & Ammo. According to the business's Facebook page, the Newington store was closed in December 2013.
The two were accused of having shirked a number of federally mandated responsibilities, including improperly recording information and failing to conduct background checks on firearm sales.
"It's been an awesome experience these last 4 years but do to the changes in the CT gun laws we are forced to close our Newington store due to lack of business," a post on the page reads. "If you need to get in touch with us you can send us a message through Facebook."
During summer 2013, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) conducted a routine inspection of BMG's Newington store, according to the release. That inspection revealed the owners purchased several firearms, machine guns and silencers, but had not changed the registration information with the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. As a result, each of the 15 firearms purchased remained registered to the individual who sold them to BMG, the release said.
BMG's owners failed to report the sale of multiple handguns to the same individual, and to record the acquisition and disposition of hundreds of firearms. Officials also found the business did not conduct background checks for firearms sales on at least 10 occasions and failed to obtain federally mandated information from customers, the release said.
Each pleaded guilty to one count of failing to keep a complete and accurate written record in its acquisition and disposition records for firearms, and one count of failing to report the multiple sale of handguns. Vanacore also entered a guilty plea on behalf of the business to one count of making false entries in dealer's records.
Vanacore and BMG are scheduled to be sentenced May 28 in Hartford. Bodytko is scheduled to be sentenced June 6.

Essential Occupational Information
Job Description
The offices of an organization along with top executives in the company receive care and support from executive assistants. These administrative workers handle tasks like readying reports, performing research, setting up meetings and examining incoming or outgoing documents. To perform many of these tasks, an executive assistant often uses computer programs like Microsoft Office. With your computer, you might create presentations, spreadsheets or messages for the executive you work for. Executive assistants often oversee a staff of clerical workers as well. The executive assistant generally assigns these workers tasks. The executive assistant also makes sure everyone is operating efficiently in order to keep the organization running smoothly.
Salary Information
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in May 2014 reported that executive assistants earned a median annual wage of $51,270. Executive assistants saw salaries upward of $77,000 according to the top 10 percent of wage estimates for this career. If you're seeking employment in one of the states that pay executive assistants the highest on average, then look for employment in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland and District of Columbia.
Job Outlook
The BLS projects little to no growth in employment for executive assistants from 2012 to 2022. This lack of growth can be attributed to companies replacing high-level secretaries with with lower-cost administrative assistants. Job opportunities are expected to occur from retirements and career transfers.
Career Requirements
Education and Training
You generally want to focus on computer and English classes while in high school. Some high schools offer basic office assistance programs and courses. You can find similar office assistance degrees and certificates at technical schools and community colleges. At the executive level, many employers prefer assistants that have at least an associate's degree, according to the BLS; in some cases, a bachelor's degree is the bare minimum. Previous office experience is important for executive assistants as well. Some placement agencies can help you in acquiring training in a formal office setting.
What Do Employers Want?
Experience and education are two important factors employers look at when hiring executive assistants. As executives are important members of a company, a trusted and experienced assistant is needed to handle the needs of the executive. Good interpersonal, writing, organizational and computer skills are also considered important by employers. Several job postings from November 2012 were examined and summarized below so that you can see what real employers wanted in executive assistants.
- An executive assistant opening in Massachusetts calls for applicants to have excellent proofreading skills.
- A Rhode Island business needs an executive assistant who can maintain a high level of confidentiality.
- In Missouri, a company requires an executive assistant with advanced experience in Microsoft Office programs.
- A bachelor's degree and at least 10 years of experience is preferred for an executive assistant job in California.
How Can You Stand Out?
Although there isn't a specific certification for executive assistants, there are other options you can pursue that can help you stand out from others in your career. The International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) has a certified administrative professional (CAP) designation available. To qualify for this credential, you'll need at least four years of work experience. By possessing an associate's degree, you only need three years of experience while applicants with a bachelor's degree only require two years of experience. Your employment experience has to have been acquired in the last 15 years. To earn your credential, an examination must be completed and passed.
Other Vocational Options
Becoming a court reporter is an alternative career option for executive assistants. As a court reporter, you'll be present at legal proceedings and make a word-for-word transcript of the event. In order to make this transcript, you'll record dialogue and report on various gestures and actions that are used. This vocation typically requires a license and specialized training. A court reporter earns about $54,000 on average annually according to the BLS in May 2011. The BLS also reports that employment growth for court reporters should be around 14% from 2010 to 2020.
Instead of being an executive assistant, you may want to consider being a paralegal. Paralegals help lawyers by performing research, organizing files and working on documents. The lawyer in a court case uses the information a paralegal prepares. A bachelor's degree or an associate's degree is normally needed to become a paralegal. From 2010 to 2020, the BLS projected an 18% growth in employment for paralegals. As of May 2011, paralegals had an average yearly salary of about $50,000.

High Calcium levels in the blood could give an early cautioning of specific malignancies, particularly in men, research has indicated.
Indeed somewhat raised blood levels of calcium in men was connected with an expanded danger of malignancy judgment inside one year.
The revelation, reported in the British Diary of Disease, raises the possibility of a straightforward blood test to support the early discovery of growth in high hazard patients.
Hypercalcaemia – a higher than typical calcium perusing – was connected with an extensive variety of growths, predominantly lung, prostate, breast, bowel, and those influencing the blood, for example, leukemia and myeloma.
While the condition was at that point known to happen in up to a fifth of malignancy patients, this is the first occasion when it has been indicated to originate before analysis.
Lead specialist Dr Fergus Hamilton, from the Inside for Scholarly Essential Forethought at the College of Bristol, said: "All past studies on hypercalcaemia and growth had been done with patients who had as of now been diagnosed with malignancy – hypercalcaemia was seen as a late impact of the disease.
"We needed to take a gander at the issue from an alternate point of view and see whether high calcium levels in blood could be utilized as an early pointer of malignancy and subsequently in the judgment of disease."
The Bristol group examined the records of 54,000 patients recorded on an electronic GP database to perceive what number of with a history of hypercalcaemia happened to get a malignancy judgment.
An ordinary level of calcium in the blood is somewhere around 2.1 and 2.5 millimoles for every liter (mmol/L)
In men, even a slight increment outside this go (2.6 – 2.8 mmol/L) was found to build the danger of growth being diagnosed inside one year by 11.5%. Over 2.8 mmol/L, the danger rose to 28%.
The impact was much more diminutive in ladies, with comparative calcium heights expanding tumor chance by 4.1% and 8.7% separately.
One purpose behind the distinction could be that ladies are more prone to encounter hypercalcaemia because of over-dynamic parathyroid organs, which has nothing to do with malignancy. In the study, this would make the connection with growth less recognizable in ladies.
"We were astounded by the sexual orientation contrast," said Dr Hamilton. "There are various conceivable clarifications for this however we think it may be on account of ladies are considerably more inclined to have hyperparathyroidism, an alternate reason for hypercalcaemia. Men once in a while get this condition, so their hypercalcaemia is more prone to be because of malignancy."
