Asarco LLC has filed a motion with a U.S. bankruptcy court for permission to pay multimillion-dollar bonuses to three of the company's top executives, claiming that their current compensation packages are "disproportionately low" given the time they have spent steering the U.S. copper producer out of bankruptcy.

Gastritis is an inflammation (irritation and swelling) of the lining of the stomach.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
There are many causes of gastritis.
The most common are:
- Alcohol
- Erosion (loss) of the protective layer of the stomach lining
- Infection of the stomach with Helicobacter pylori bacteria
- Medications such as aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Smoking
Less common causes are:
- Autoimmune disorders (such as pernicious anemia)
- Backflow of bile into the stomach (bile reflux)
- Eating or drinking caustic or corrosive substances (such as poisons)
- Excess gastric acid secretion (such as from stress)
- Viral infection, especially in people with a weak immune system
Gastritis can last a short time (acute gastritis) or for months to years (chronic gastritis).
- Abdominal pain
- Abdominal indigestion
- Dark stools
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Vomiting blood or coffee-ground like material
Signs and tests
Tests vary depending on the specific cause. An X-ray of the upper digestive tract, EGD, or other tests may be advised.
Treatment depends on the specific cause. Some of the causes will disappear over time. Medications to neutralize stomach acid or decrease its production may be recommended.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outlook depends on the cause, but is usually good.
See the specific types of gastritis.
Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop gastritis symptoms.
Avoid long-term use of irritants (such as aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, or alcohol).

Selecting the right advertising partner for your Buzztouch app
Buzztouch supports many advertising SDKs out of the box. To see the current list, choose any app in your control panel, click on Prepare Project Download, choose either iOS or Android and start the downloading process. You will see
2) Include Optional SDK's
click on that and you will see a list of Buzztouch partners. Currently, there are 19 of them. Choosing one or two of these will download their corresponding SDKs into your project. (You will later have to enable them in the project.) You are not bound by these 19, you can easily incorporate any SDK that is available online, but this 19 are a bit easier to manage.
Choosing the SDK in this way is not even a half of the battle. You will also have to change the source code and each SDK will have its own set of rules that you must obey unconditionally. Many Buzztouch members struggle at this point and you will see dozens of topics in these forums about this or that SDK and how to use them.
To find them easily, go to Google and search for
site:www.buzztouch.com/forum <SDK name>
Become a member of the ads network site
It goes without saying that you have to go to each site and become a member first. Each advertising site will have their own back panel through which you will be able to adjust the kind of ads that you are receiving, frequency and so on. If the advertising network is forcing too many ads in your app, you will be able to tone them down, by inserting a couple of lines of code into your buzztouch project. (That is where open source nature of Buzztouch comes in handy!)
You insert the call to the SDK wherever you want. Some people just insert it into the code for the first plugin that appears in the app and they are done. When the user opens the app, they are guaranteed to see the ad (provided there is Internet connection or that the app is not taken entirely offline). You can insert ads into other parts of the app too, and you are not limited to one particular ads network. If you want to be flexible, you can even choose to download several SDKs, even if you know that you will not use all of them right away. Later, you can test them by turning one on and the others off, and see which network gives you the best amount of money per click.
NOTE. There are several ways to test ads but that is out of the scope of this post.
Keep it testing
Testing the ads is a never ending struggle. You keep thinking which ads network would yield the best profit and you keep turning ads off and on, comparing against the countries, the downloads, the type of hardware that the your app is running on and so on. There are two most important factors:
– the number of downloads and
– frequency of using the app.
In the ideal case, both should be high, i.e. there would be many downloads and each user would return to the app frequently. Such apps are called "killer apps" and are the Holy Grail of app development. (Think Facebook and Instagram apps.) Apart from testing the ads and the individual apps, you constantly have to work to increase the numbers of downloads and the frequency of return and that is what will shape your app's success.

DANBURY, WI (WSAU) - The mother of the three year old girl that died in northwestern Wisconsin two-and-a-half months ago wants her trial moved.
3-year-old Reena Mae Williams was found dead in a shallow canal next to the family home in the Burnett County community of Danbury August 15th. Parents Thomas Williams and Jenna Danish are charged with child neglect resulting in the girl's death.
Danish's attorney James Rennicke asked the judge for separate trials and to move his client's trial to another county. He claims his client can't get an impartial jury due to pretrial publicity. Both parents were bound over for trial yesterday. They also face a handful of drug related charges.

Boomerang kids help out parents
Adult children who move back in with their parents are largely doing it due to the economy -- but the good news is that they're paying for the privilege.
Fueled in part by the sluggish economy, boomerang children are moving "back home" to shore up their balance sheets. The good news for their parents' retirement finances is that large majorities say they are helping to defray at least some of the household expenses.
That is one of the findings of a new survey of 2,048 adults nationwide by the Pew Research Center. According to Pew, slightly more than 20% of 25- to 34-year-olds live in multi-generational households, up from 11% in 1980. The recession accelerated the trend:
- Among adults ages 18 to 34, 24% moved back in with their parents in recent years, after living on their own, because of economic conditions.
- Among adults ages 25 to 29, 41% live with or moved back in with their parents.
- Among those ages 30 to 34, 17% fall into this category.
- Nearly half (48%) of adults ages 18 to 34 who are not employed either live with their parents or moved in with them temporarily because of economic conditions.
About 75% of boomerang children report that the living arrangement has been positive or neutral for their relationships with parents, with 44% saying they are satisfied with their housing situation. (Post continues below.)
Interestingly, "parents who say their adult children have moved back in with them are just as satisfied with their family life and housing situation as are those parents whose adult children have not moved back home," the report says. While the survey doesn't get to why, the following may provide an explanation:
- Nearly all of the 18- to 34-year-olds surveyed (96%) say that they do chores around their parents' house.
- 75% say they contribute to household expenses such as groceries or utility bills.
- More than a third (35%) pay rent to their parents.
Before setting up an extended household, advisers say a family should devise a financial plan that works for all parties. Often, a simple written agreement is enough.
- Those who prefer a temporary arrangement should work out an exit strategy -- for example, by estimating how long it will take a person experiencing financial problems to regain his or her footing.
- In many cases, it is a good idea to charge rent -- if only to prevent the parents from sacrificing their retirement savings to float a child.

LOCATION: 350 miles E of Comodoro Rivadavia, Argentina
HEADING: 031-degrees
DISTANCE TO FINISH: 1,200 miles
What gives? We leave Auckland roughly half a mile ahead of Groupama, spend almost two weeks sailing across a massive ocean, wake up, cross tacks, and find ourselves in the exact same position. Unbelievable.
And I guess this answers yesterday's question as to our race strategy. Right now the focus is clearly on boat speed. Keep them close, sail fast, and they shouldn't have a chance to break away. Losing in small doses is favourable to losing big, all at once, and since we believe in our team and our boat, maybe it's time to line up and go toe-to-toe, all 1,200 miles in to Itajaí, Brazil.
Of course, there are plenty of forecasted obstacles and trip-ups between here and there that could prevent us from doing just that, but sailboat racing is never predictable and all we can do is stick to our guns on this one and hope to stay in touch.
It sounds silly, but with over a thousand miles to go, it feels like someone somewhere is waving a white flag to indicate we're on the last lap. It is, even at this great distance, a sprint to the finish – at least that's the way it seems in our minds. Nobody's sleeping much, we're constantly analysing boat-to-boat angles, spying through our binoculars and on the radar… The trimmers are tweaking way more than usual, there's much less casual conversation, and everyone's giving it well over 100%, even in our state of exhaustion. There's no question… we want this one badly!

I emailed Yann Riou, Groupama's MCM, and asked what they were having for dinner before the sun went down. His reply?
"I am making a cake for Martin's birthday. Chocolate and rum (remaining from Cape Horn). Ease the sheets, come and join us!"
Nice one Yann. We had leftover protein bars for lunch.

The King County Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention - Juvenile Division is responsible for the care and custody of youth who are detained in the Juvenile Detention Facility. Youth are detained for a number of reasons including alleged new offenses, outstanding warrants, or to serve a sentence. For a complete list of detention admission criteria, click here.
While detained, youth receive medical and mental health services, and are provided education through Seattle Public Schools, which maintains two school programs at the Youth Service Center. There is also a library on site that is maintained and staff through contracts with the King County Library System. Youth are scheduled in the library on a regular basis. Youth also have the option of participating in other regularly scheduled programs such as AA and NA meetings, Powerful Voices, and other special programs.
Juvenile Detention also operates King County's Alternatives to Secure (ASD) programs. ASD programs are developed with the understanding that alternatives to secure detention ensure a youth's appearance at subsequent court hearings and minimizes the likelihood of new offenses while the youth is in the community. ASD programs balance the youth's level of risk to self and public safety with the least restrictive alternative for placement while the youth is involved with the Juvenile Court. King County's ASD program is comprised of Electronic Monitoring, Day and Evening Reporting, Group Care and Work Crew.
The King County Youth Service Center houses the Juvenile Detention Center, Juvenile Court and Juvenile Court Services a well as juvenile divisions of the Prosecuting Attorney's Office and the Department of Judicial Administration. The Youth Service Center is located at 1211 East Alder Ave. in Seattle's Central District neighborhood. The facility is five blocks east of Harborview Medical Center and about one block south of the Seattle University Campus. Area Map (external link)

The Center for Counseling and Student Development is a campus agency staffed by professional psychologists and social workers trained to help you discover ways to cope with problems in living.
Our staff has a commitment to meeting the special needs of individuals from diverse backgrounds, including differences of culture, race, gender, ability, and sexual orientation. Our services are confidential with regard to legal and professional guidelines of the State of Rhode Island.
Full -time and residential undergraduate and graduate students (other than the Law School) are eligible to use all of our services free of charge. Free consultation and referral services are available for part-time undergraduate students, faculty, staff and administrators.
The Center is located on the second floor of the Center for Student Development, across from Cedar Hall.
The Center's hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, during the academic year. Summer and January hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Students come to the Counseling Center for a variety of concerns. Everyone expresses problems differently; everyone's problems are legitimate and can be helped. The following are some of the reasons a person might come for help:
Individual, couple, family, and group counseling are provided in a confidential setting. Our orientation tends to be short-term and solution-focused with the goal of helping you to deal with various personal and interpersonal concerns.
Developmental Programming
Developmental workshops, groups, and seminars are offered through the Center and our PEER Program. The programs are educational, supportive or skill oriented in approach. General outreach, residence hall and minority outreach programs can be requested in advance for classes, housing units, or other Roger Williams University groups.
Staff, faculty, and administrators may wish to consult with the Center's staff about a student or about their own concerns. We can provide you with a referral to a therapist in the community if ongoing counseling is recommended.
Emergency Services
At night or on weekends, crises services are provided either by the Center's staff or by East Bay Mental Health. For assistance with mental health emergencies, first contact a Student Life staff member (e.g., an R.A. or C.O.R.E) to initiate emergency procedures.
