The USD posted fresh highs against the JPY, AUD and NZD, but was otherwise mostly steady against the euro and other main currencies. USD-JPY vaulted to a new six-year peak of 110.09, taking out the reportedly major option barrier level at 110.00 without much problem, before settling back to the mid-109s amid Japanese policymaking jawboning about "undesirable" currency volatility.

The dollar traded softer in pre-Europe trade in Asia today. Stop-loss selling of dollars reportedly helped drive the move in a session lacking fresh stimulant. EUR-USD lifted to a two-day peak of 1.2674 before settling back to the low 1.26s. USD-JPY dipped to a one-week low of 108.54, while AUD-USD logged an eight-day high of 0.8816 and USD-CAD fell back below the 1.1100 mark for the first time this week. Read More ►

WOODBRIDGE, Va. (AP) — Police in Prince William County say one store worker is dead and another injured after a shooting.
Police say the shooting took place Friday night at Platanillos Grocery and Jewelry on Jefferson Davis Highway in Woodbridge.

Part of the outreach mission of ETLP is undertaken through external education programs. ETLP is working to develop programs addressing manufacturing management and technology management, for local, national and international audiences.
Locally, we have collaborated on one program with Manex a non-profit consulting firm located in San Ramon CA. Manex is affiliated with the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Program (MEP) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the US Department of Commerce. This program was presented to senior managers of small manufacturing companies in the Bay area.
We have also developed and presented programs for international visitors. These are five to ten day programs addressing topics in technology management, entrepreneurship, and globalization, for groups of managers from abroad who are interested in those topics. These groups often have a special interest in Los Angeles and the US West Coast, because of the concentration of high technology firms and global businesses. Many of the visiting groups are also from academic institutions with whom we have research ties and ongoing research projects.
International Visitors
ETLP hosted a group of senior managers from the Executive MBA program of Korea University Business School (Seoul, Korea) in June 2013. Prof. Hosun Rhim from KUBS accompanied the group. A group from the Global Executive MBA program of SDA Bocconi (Milano, Italy) also visited at the same time, and the two groups mingled at a joint welcome reception. Profs. Maurizio Poli and Thanos Papadimitriou accompanied the SDA Bocconi visitors. In October 2013, ETLP presented a program for a group of senior managers from the Advanced Management Program of GSM in Bangalore. Prof. S. Krishna was here with this group.
In January 2014, managers from the Global MBA program at Korea University Business School, were here for an eight day program with their faculty director, Prof. Hong Se-joon.
Both the KUBS programs (EMBA and GMBA) as the SDA Bocconi GMBA group have been regular visitors for several years. As it happens, both institutions (KUBS and SDA) are partners in the UCLA BIT global research project since 2003. The GSM group visited UCLA for the first time. Easton had previously hosted groups from the GDW Foundation in Bangalore for several years. Prof. Krishna was a co-director of that program with Prof. Kuldeep Kumar of City University (Hong Kong).
Program Content
The educational programs developed by ETLP align with the Easton mission focus on manufacturing management and technology management. These topics often involve issues of entrepreneurship and global competitiveness. In the past, ETLP has collaborated with the CIBER program and the Price Center for Entrepreneurship in organizing some programs.
In addition to the topics of technology and entrepreneurship, ETLP programs also address topics related to leadership, change management, and international management. In addition to ETLP faculty, instructors in these programs include leading faculty from other areas in the Anderson School, depending on the topics being covered. Most programs include visits to local companies. A frequent partner for these visits is RKS Studios in Thousand Oaks, a nationally recognized design studio which has won many awards. Some programs also include panel discussions. Recent panels have addressed venture capital, and entrepreneurship, sharing the experiences of VC's and entrepreneurs.

Freaky or Fabulous? Tattered-Up Agyness Deyn
by POPSUGAR Fashion 62 Reactions 0 Shares Print
I'd like to know what cat Agyness Deyn ran into before heading to the Henry Holland and Wrigley's Extra "Get Extra Close" party. Seriously though, I know the model likes the disheveled look but this is pretty freaky. The funny thing is, I don't have a problem with the tattered jeans. In fact, I think they can be ultra sexy and they remind me of the Maison Martin Margiela outfit Gisele Bundchen wore at a photo shoot. I more so have a problem with everything else around it. If she had worn a more fitted top and some killer heels, I would have been on team fabulous. So, freaky or fabulous?

I am so confused as to how now days celebrities who wear stuff that looks horrible and evern better, completely miss matched outrageous outfits somehow have this great sense of style? I wish I could walk out of my house looking completely ridiculous and people would fawn over me. Almost makes me feel like they do it to laugh at all the tools who write comments about how creative they are ? My 2 year old must be amazingly creative! Anyway, as someone else said, yes her hands look very large AND her legs look WAY too long for her body in those things she's calling pants.

IF that's just how she is, that's cool, but the unfortunately she still looks silly. I have to agree with Fab, the look probably would've been vastly improved with some heels and a better top.
rabidmoon 6 years
I have gotten kinda used to her 80s inspired style so I don't have a strong opinion really. As models go, she has a cool look, but from what I read the "breath of fresh air" style she has, is a carefully cultivated one, so I see the whole thing with a pretty cynical eye, I suppose. :P Side note: is it me, or does girlfriend have some way big hands????

Is it just me, or is this the most orally sexy Oscar season in memory?
As blogger Jeff Wells notes, "at least three of the six actresses nominated by the Broadcast Film Critics Association for Best Actress received on-screen oral pleasuring in their respective films -- Annette Bening in The Kids Are All Right, Natalie Portman in Black Swan and Michelle Williams in Blue Valentine." Julianne Moore didn't receive a BFCA honor for doing the honors in Kids, but Williams' Blue Valentine bittersweetheart Ryan Gosling got a best actor nom, and more influentially, Portman's partner Mila Kunis, who's been too often overlooked in all the film's hooplah, got a best supporting actress nom from BFCA.
More than almost any other critics awards group, BFCA tends to overlap with Academy voters' tastes.
Of course, it's not about the mere collision of what Brits call "naughty bits." It's all about the context. In Kids, oral sex is lighthearted, upsetting only to people who'd never see this film anyhow.
The Portman-Kunis scene is scary, like Catherine Deneuve's violent sexual hallucinations in Repulsion. And do let's remember, it's Kunis's intense scene too -- Danny Boyle told me he calls her "the Bad Black Swan."
The Williams/Gosling scene, whose NC-17 rating was recently overturned after public outrage, is intensely romantic, which may be why it upset the ratings board even though it's not porn-quality explicit at all. It's like the amputation scene in 127 Hours (or, eons ago, the ear scene in Reservoir Dogs) -- you've seen plenty more upsetting scenes, it's just that you really feel this one.
(Twenty people -- including industry people -- have told me they refuse to see 127 Hours because they've heard about the amputation scene. "There's a hole in the rock that his hand goes into!" Boyle told me at the Fox Searchlight party Dec. 1. "It's trompe l'oeil. It really isn't real.")
One oral-pleasure scene evidently went right by BFCA voters: Stephen Dorff's scene with a Chateau Marmont girl du jour in Sofia Coppola's Somewhere. I won't spoil the scene, but let's just say that Dorff's movie-star character's oral-sex method is not one likely to make a woman pass out from sheer erotic excitement. He's more like an Acapulco cliff diver for whom the tide is out.

No formally organization of a genetics department existed at North Carolina State University until 1951. Until that time, the subject of genetics was distributed to several long-established departments within the School of Agriculture. By the 1930's, departments such as Agronomy, Zoology, and Plant Pathology (among others) were beginning to take an interest in genetics and the possible ways in which it could be integrated into their coursework and research projects. These departments had for some time employed geneticists on an individual basis to help conduct research projects and teach courses (such as cytology) in Agronomy and other biological sciences that focused on subjects such as plant and animal breeding. Eventually, the University decided that the field had becomre important enough to create a department devoted entirely to genetics for graduate degrees and more basic research.
In 1951, the Department of Genetics was formally organized with Dr. S. G. Stephens as chairman. The faculty consisted of many professors who had taught and conducted research in other departments in the School of Agriculture. The department was temporarily housed with the Botany Department in Winston Hall, and relocated to the newly built Gardner Hall in 1952. During Dr. Stephens' tenure as chairman, the graduate program, including the Ph.D. degree, new faculty, a genetics garden, greenhouse and an experimental station were added to the department. In 1958, Dr. H. F. Robinson became the new head of the department, and established a genetics nursery and obtained a significant amount of funding for increased research. In that same year, Genetics became the first North Carolina State College department to employ an African-American woman, Justina Williams, who worked in the Drosophila research lab.
In 1964, Dr. T. J. Mann took over leadership of the department after Dr. Robinson's promotion to Director of Biological Sciences. Dr. D. F. Matzinger became acting department head after Dr. Mann's departure in 1974 and in 1975, Dr. John G. Scandalios became the new department head. Under the leadership of these individuals, the department expanded and earned national recognition and distinction.
In 2013 the programs of the Department of Genetics were subsumed under the new Department of Biological Sciences in the new College of Sciences.
The records of the North Carolina State University Department of Genetics contain brochures, correspondence, grants and fellowships information, courses and curriculum material, a departmental history, facilities and equipment information, faculty and student records, research project files and reports, seminar and lecture materials, and other publications. Materials range in date from 1941 to 2001.
Some records in the collection relate to a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, which funded a project in 1959, called
The collection also houses many records relating to the courses and curriculum of the department from 1953 - 1977. These records include course descriptions, criteria and syllabi for a variety of genetics courses. Course proposals and revisions from 1954 - 1987 are also included, as well as, outlines, brochures and programs, flyers and announcements for genetics seminars and lectures from 1955 through 1977.
Perhaps some of the most important records in the collection relate to the conception and organization of the Genetics Department, which spanned several years and was finally achieved in 1951. The transition was a large collaboration between several different departments and members of the faculty. Many records exist that document the comments, correspondence, memos, etc., that were passed amongst them. The records relate plans for the transfer and purchasing of facilities and equipment, as well as plans for a possible new greenhouse and experimental garden.
One of the most interesting and valuable records found in the collection is a document called
The collection also contains numerous other records relating to the Genetics Department such as departmental events flyers, programs and brochures, faculty correspondence and memos, research and facility and equipment procedures, guidelines and instructions. The records are arranged into three series: General Records; Grants and Proposals; and Research and Reports.
The records of the North Carolina State University Department of Genetics are arranged in four series: General Records, Grants and Proposals, Research and Reports, and Publications. Within each series, materials are arranged alphabetically by topic or title.
Contains brochures, correspondence, course information, facilities information, faculty and student lists, graduate studies material, program information and reviews, and seminar material.
Contains grants and proposals relating to work performed by the department. This material does not document particular research projects, but instead on the development of the department itself and some of its subsequent research and training activities.
Contains reports and papers. This series a variety of research topics, from genetics research to departmental teaching activities and efficacy.
This series contains publications produced by the Department of Genetics.

"I can see why my dad is always quoting you, Mr. Boomhauer."
-Bobby Hill
His trademark line is "She-she-sshhaa", usually heard too fast to phonetically understand, and he says it whenever he is impressed with himself carrying out a plan or when springing a sudden move. He also exclaims "Wingo!" when excited and "That's a Gribble of an idea!" when someone thinks of a solution to his problems. He's also known for exclaiming "S'go, s'go!" (a contraction of "Let's go") when rushed or excited and "G'h!" when he is startled or learns something that feeds into his paranoid nature.
-wikipedia entry "Dale Gribble"
"In my opinion, the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year."
"I haven't worn this since my 30th birthday party."

Ringworm of the Scalp (Tinea Capitis)
Ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitis) is a fungal infection that grows in the outer layer of the scalp and in the hair. The infection is not caused by worms but is called "ringworm" because it produces a rash with small, blisterlike bumps on the edges that look like worms.
The infection also causes red, sore, irritated areas that may have pus (abscesses); broken, crusted, matted hair; dead skin flakes (dandruff); and hair loss resulting in round or oval bald patches.
Ringworm is contagious. It can be spread easily by contact with people, objects, or animals infected with or carrying the fungus. Some carriers can have and spread ringworm without actually having symptoms of infection.
Standard treatment for ringworm of the scalp includes prescription antifungal medicine and, usually, special shampoos.

"As you walk along, you find things. I think that's the advantage of walking. It's just one of the reasons why I do that a lot. You find things by the wayside or you buy a brochure written by a local historian, which is in a tiny little museum somewhere, which you would never find in London. And in that you find odd details which lead you somewhere else, and so it's a form of unsystematic searching [...] And the more I got on, the more I felt that, really, one can find something only in that way, i.e., in the same way in which, say, a dog runs through a field."posted by oulipian at 11:21 AM on February 1, 2013 [2 favorites]

The Lakers were determined to get off to a great start and silence the New Orleans crowd. That they did.
The Lakers led by 7 after one, and went on to an 100-86 win in game 3 of their first round Western Conference series.
The Lakers have plenty of weapons. Pau Gasol got untracked scoring 17 points, including a big three pointer with 10:52 to play in the game.
The Hornets simply cannot rely on their defense to do it all. New Orleans needs scoring and isn't getting it from its bench. Center Aaron Gray was scoreless in 7 minutes. Guard Willie Green was scoreless in 12:32. Jack scored only 6 points in 21:54.
Head coach Monty Williams can preached defense and blue collar. That is good enough to win games in the regular season. But, in the playoffs, you have to have players who can score and generate their own shot. And, the Hornets do not have enough of those.

2009 Santa Rita Medalla Real Carmenere
"The 2009 Carmenere Medalla Real is nicely framed by its oak. Aromas of pain grille, graphite, dark chocolate, plum, and blackberry are followed by a medium- to full-bodied, layered, full-flavored wine with enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years at which point it could well merit an outstanding rating. As is, it is an outstanding value."

Notions of herbs and spices, lavender, blueberry, and blackberry inform the nose of a layered, plush, sweetly-fruited wine that nicely shows off Carmenere's positive attributes.

What are the major changes affecting your brand that you see, at the present time, of marketing in Africa?
First and foremost, it's a different era. We went from being one of two or three mobile operators in our markets to being one of six or seven in many of our markets. So, there is increased competitive intensity and everything that comes along with that—including pricing pressures, staying ahead with innovative products and services, and increasing our distribution footprint. A lot of effort went into building a strong brand, and now we have established dominant awareness, brand attributes, preference, and affinity. It's now less about building the brand and more about maintaining the position we have established.
Secondly, the brand is a huge asset and we have to start using it as such. We don't build equity for the sake of building equity. It needs to drive employer preference, customer preference, distinguish the quality of our offering versus competition and more. Otherwise, we run the risk of creating a commoditized environment.
Lastly, and this is related to the second point, we have more pressures on the business as voice revenues begin to fall due to environmental and competitive factors. Because of MTN's brand dominance on the continent, we need to embark on more thoughtful and targeted initiatives versus the large scale, mass properties that got us to where we are today. In other words, how can we better leverage the MTN brand to create a more efficient and effective marketing program?
Is marketing in Africa different from that in other parts of the world?
I've had the good fortune of working with marketers on several continents and in several segments, from Japan to Europe to African-American or Asian-American segments in the U.S. The marketing fraternity in Africa is extremely professional with world-class capabilities—both on a client and agency side. The biggest challenge on the African continent is the lack of information or data that more developed markets take for granted. We do not have the luxury of GRPs or clear ROI calculations. We don't know how many people are watching an English Premier League game being broadcast on satellite TV. But, we do know that our markets are more likely to engage in communal viewing. I give that example, because we need to rely more on knowing and understanding our customers and less on numbers—which at times can be frustrating, but is also quite freeing, because you are relying on your gut and your instinct.
What new trends affecting your commitment to environmental sustainability are emerging?
Please note that my responses are inclusive of some of the major and material sustainability trends within the mobile communications sector, with some consideration for the overall ICT sector, and are not listed in any order of priority. Nor is this necessarily a fully inclusive list of the sustainability issues we address.
The International Telecommunications Union's 2011 Trends Report indicates that "From climate change to health, to education and personal security; no discussion of major social issues is complete without close examination of the role of ICTs in creating, managing and resolving these issues." Similar discussions on the role of mobile communications in addressing environmental and social imperatives are being undertaken at the United Nations Conference of Parties (COP17) negotiations in Durban 2011.
As a relatively low environmental impact company, MTN has the opportunity to leverage its ICT position to help emerging economies address emerging risks such as climate change management and emerging opportunities, e.g. through closing the digital divide, enabling enterprise development. MTN also operates in some of the most economically, environmentally and socially vulnerable communities of the world, and therefore recognizes the role it can play in making a sustained difference.
For MTN, sustainability is about core business practice: taking account of material opportunities and risks that can maintain or enhance economic and non-quantifiable value for its stakeholders (not only shareholders and investors).
Issues affecting sustainability include the following:
What is the secret to staying relevant all these years?
There are three things that all humans require—food, shelter, and communication. As a provider of communication, in many cases in areas where there are no other options for connectivity, it's a huge responsibility. Furthermore, as our markets are largely pre-paid, we don't speak about share of wallet, but rather share of pocket. We understand that for many of our customers, when they go into a store, we are competing with a Coke for example. Am I going to take the R10 that I have today and spend it on a Coke or on airtime?
But, beyond meeting a basic human need and expanding that to include products that provide access to information, health care, agricultural prices, and banking products, we also endeavor to share the passions that are important to our customers. On the African continent, that is football and music—and more likely to be local music versus Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber. We run the leading website for African football news, mtnfootball.com. We were the first African company to be a global sponsor of a FIFA World Cup. We are also major sponsors and supporters of national and local leagues throughout our footprint. That is just a small taste of the range of activities that we engage in to ensure that MTN remains the largest supporter of African football. With regards to music, we sponsor numerous local music festivals and concerts and provide our customers with the best local and international music content through our content portal—MTN Play.
Lastly, I would also like to mention that our marketing teams are world class. In most of our markets, the CMO and the marketing team are proudly Cameroonian or Nigerian or Syrian, etc. They understand their consumers and are empowered to develop localized marketing plans that are ultimately aligned to our global strategy. This is quite a different approach to many of the other global mobile operators.
How do you maintain momentum, day in and day out?
We have a highly collegial but very competitive environment. There is always something that is being tested somewhere in the MTN footprint and it's exciting to be a part of so many firsts on our continent. We want to continue to get there first and maintain our number one position in the hearts and minds of our customers and employees. That's what keeps me motivated.
Does the company have a different strategy in emerging markets?
Our entire strategy is based on emerging markets and is embedded in our corporate vision, which is "to be the leading mobile operator in emerging markets." We believe that one of our major points of differentiation is our employees. Recently, our CEO was interviewed on CNN and was asked about setting up new networks in challenging emerging markets. We've got the expertise in our people who not only know what to do, but also have the most amazing "can do" spirit in sometimes trying circumstances. You should read some of our internal employee award submissions to get a sense of what MTNers are capable of.
What do you predict to be the main issues for brands/company reputations in the immediate future?
Both in developed and emerging markets, the main issue impacting brand reputation will continue to be trust. This may manifest itself differently between more and less developed markets, but it is the root of all customer engagement. Can I trust in the service you will provide me? Can I trust in your leadership and corporate intentions? Can I trust in the value for money you are providing? Can I trust that you will acknowledge and rectify mistakes or problems? Can I trust that you will genuinely and positively impact my community?
Related to this is a company's strategy around corporate citizenship. There needs to be a clearly communicated plan for how a brand or company intends to engage with communities and positively impact on the economies and societies in which they operate.
Is green/sustainability gaining traction?
The answer above, and the fact that MTN's sustainability imperative is governed at the top-most levels of the organization, and that we report our sustainability performance to our investors, are indicative of this.
However, if your question means "is it globally gaining traction," I think the response is rather the following: between the 60s and the 80s, generally it was considered a fringe/green-thinking element, and only progressive businesses or those that could directly quantify its impact on their business would address it. However, since the 90s, and within the new millennium, almost all businesses wishing to "keep their doors open" realize that they cannot continue to exist without addressing this as part of core business. (There are numerous examples of this globally and locally.) Businesses are also moving away from seeing "green" as a risk, to green as an issue to generate revenue or obtain access to other opportunities.
I am not sure if I have answered your questions satisfactorily as they are so broad—however, please feel free to contact me should you require further clarification.
Any newly formed partnerships or major initiatives that the company is looking into?
This is a very exciting area for us right now. We are constantly engaged in developing partnerships that will differentiate us from the competition and add value to the services we already provide our customers. This is not a comprehensive list, but some areas include NGOs like the UN in the area of refugee assistance. We are also talking to health care providers and health insurance companies. We are actively partnering with several banks and money transfer organizations. In the area of content, we are speaking to music companies, sports leagues, software, and application developers, and more. Finally, we are also working with device manufacturers at all levels to ensure that customers in our markets have options from low cost handsets to the latest smart phones and tablets.
Jennifer started her career as a corporate historian at The History Factory in Washington, DC, but quickly came to realize that understanding where a company and brand came from can help inform where it is going. Subsequently, Jennifer moved to New York to work on Madison Avenue—historically the epicenter of American advertising. After nine years at Y&R New York, working on global brands such as Colgate, Philip Morris, and SONY, Africa and MTN came calling. Jennifer has spent the last five years at MTN Group Marketing, and has held the position of Executive: Group Marketing since November 2010. This role requires her to work with agencies and in markets across the Middle East and Africa to firmly entrench MTN as Africa's Leading and Most Valuable Global Brand. This objective culminated in MTN's recent sponsorship of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, for which Jennifer managed MTN's global communications strategy.

Paul Holmgren is in his fifth season as club GM
and his 32nd season as a member of the Flyers organization.
Last season, Holmgren put together a Flyers club
that finished with a 41-35-6 record for 88 Points
and despite entering the playoffs as the 7th seed,
finished the season as the Eastern Conference Champions.
The Flyers surpassed their totals in wins (44) and
points (99) from the previous season as well as
set a franchise record by finishing the regular
season having allowed just one shorthanded goal.
The previous record in a single season was two,
set in 1967-68 and 1978-79.
In 2007-08, his first full season as general manager,
Holmgren guided the Flyers to the NHL's best
turnaround, improving 39 points in the standings
(95 points in 2007-08 after 56 points in 2006-07),
and to a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, advancing
to the Eastern Conference Finals. Since the NHL
expanded the playoffs to four rounds, starting with
the 1980 Playoffs, the 2007-08 Flyers were only
the second team to finish with the worst record
in the NHL one season and reach the third round
of the playoffs the next season (Detroit Red Wings
in 1987). The 2007-08 Flyers were also the first
team in 13 years to advance to the second round
of the playoffs after finishing the previous season
with the worst record in the league (San Jose Sharks
in 1994).
He was named general manager on November 11, 2006,
after serving as interim general manager since replacing
Bob Clarke who resigned on October 22, 2006. Prior
to his promotion, Holmgren had served the previous
seven seasons as the team's assistant general
manager. He was named assistant general manager
on June 14, 1999.
He was named assistant general manager of the U.S.
Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team that competed
in 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Torino, Italy and
general manager for the 2006 U.S. National Team
for the IIHF World Championships. He served as an
assistant coach for Team USA at the 1998 Winter
Olympic Games. He was named Flyers' director
of player personnel on August 6, 1997, after serving
as director of pro scouting over parts of two seasons.
He replaced Bill Barber as the Flyers' director
of pro scouting when Barber was named head coach
of the Hershey Bears on December 30, 1995. He was
named as an assistant coach for Team USA for the
World Cup of Hockey Tournament on June 27, 1996.
He rejoined the Flyers organization as a scout after
being replaced as the Hartford Whalers' head
coach on November 6, 1995. Holmgren compiled a 59-93-14
record as head coach of the Whalers through parts
of four seasons (1992-93 to 1995-96). He was re-appointed
as head coach of the Whalers by team President and
General Manager Jim Rutherford on June 28, 1994.
He stepped down as the Whalers' head coach
17 games into the 1993-94 season to concentrate
on his duties as general manager. He was named general
manager and head coach of the Whalers prior to the
start of the 1993-94 season. He was named head coach
of the Whalers on June 15, 1992. He served as Flyers
head coach for four seasons (1988-89 to 1991-92),
compiling a 107-126-31 record. He was named head
coach of the Flyers on June 1, 1988, after serving
three seasons as an assistant coach with the club.
He was the first former Flyer to be named head coach
of the team.
He retired from playing after the 1984-85 season,
having recorded 144 goals and 179 assists for 323
points and 1,684 penalty minutes in 527 career regular
season NHL games with the Flyers and the Minnesota
North Stars. He was traded to the North Stars by
the Flyers in exchange for Paul Guay and a third
round pick in the 1985 NHL Entry Draft (Darryl Gilmour)
on February 23, 1984. He recorded 138 goals and
171 assists for 309 points and 1,600 penalty minutes
in 500 games over parts of nine seasons with the
Flyers (1975-76 to 1983-84). His 1,600 penalty minutes
with the Flyers are second all-time in club history.
He was drafted from the University of Minnesota
by the Flyers in the sixth round (108th overall)
of the 1975 NHL Entry Draft. Paul and his wife,
Doreen, reside in Somerdale, New Jersey. He has
four children: Jason, Kirsten, Wes, and Greta.

Acupuncture (cont.)
In this Article
Are there standards for acupuncture needles?
After reviewing the existing body of knowledge, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) removed acupuncture needles from the category of "experimental medical devices." The FDA now regulates acupuncture needles, just as it does other devices such as surgical scalpels and hypodermic syringes, under good manufacturing practices and single-use standards of sterility.
What are the possible side effects of acupuncture?
The most common serious injury reported from the needles of acupuncture has been accidental puncture of the lung, which results in a partial collapse of the lung called pneumothorax. The most common infection reported from acupuncture treatments is viral hepatitis, a potentially serious infection of the liver. Other side effects include bacterial infections locally at the site of needle insertion in the skin and elsewhere in the body. Generally, side effects seem to relate to poor hygiene and training of the acupuncturist.
For what conditions has acupuncture treatment been found helpful?

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Program was established in 1977 and is designed to assess health technology. The program organizes major conferences that produce consensus statements and technology assessment statements on controversial issues in medicine important to health care providers, patients, and the general public. The following statement is from the NIH Consensus Development Statement on Acupuncture on November 3-5, 1997.
Acupuncture as a therapeutic intervention is widely practiced in the United States. There have been many studies of its potential usefulness. However, many of these studies provide equivocal results because of design, sample size, and other factors. The issue is further complicated by inherent difficulties in the use of appropriate controls, such as placebo and sham acupuncture groups.
However, promising results have emerged, for example, efficacy of acupuncture in adult post-operative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting and in post-operative dental pain. There are other situations such as addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma where acupuncture may be useful as an adjunct treatment or an acceptable alternative or be included in a comprehensive management program.
Findings from basic research have begun to elucidate the mechanisms of action of acupuncture, including the release of opioids and other peptides in the central nervous system and the periphery and changes in neuroendocrine function. Although much needs to be accomplished, the emergence of plausible mechanisms for the therapeutic effects of acupuncture is encouraging.
The introduction of acupuncture into the choice of treatment modalities that are readily available to the public is in its early stages. Issues of training, licensure, and reimbursement remain to be clarified. There is sufficient evidence, however, of acupuncture's value to expand its use into conventional medicine and to encourage further studies of its physiology and clinical value.This statement is representative of the opinions of current standard medical practice.

Get out and move!
companies are realizing the value of promoting exercise
to their over 50 members. The medical bills go down as seniors
get moving in a consistent, safe manner. Group Health has
been proactive in supporting Silver Sneakers and Lifetime
Fitness programs.
When Mary MacDonald, a Silver Sneakers instructor for Group Health in Bellingham, petitioned to get a program going in Lynden a few years ago, Group Health responded by setting up a Lifetime Fitness Program.
This program is provided free to Group Health members over 65-years old. What makes it different from Silver Sneakers is the use of ankle and wrist weights with a supervised progression of muscle building activities suitable for the novice or experienced exerciser.
The class Mary MacDonald teaches at the Lynden Community Senior Center at 401 Grover Street is still growing with 15 to 20 participants. A few non-Group Health members drop in for $2 a class. The rest have Group Health covering the cost of their classes.

The Secretary of the Army shall cause the Mississippi River Commission to make an examination and survey of the Mississippi River below Cape Girardeau, Missouri,
(a) at places where levees have prior to May 15, 1928, been constructed on one side of the river and the lands on the opposite side have been thereby subjected to greater overflow, and were, without unreasonably restricting the flood channel, levees can be constructed to reduce the extent of this overflow, and where the construction of such levees is economically justified, and report thereon to the Congress as soon as practicable with such recommendations as the commission may deem advisable;

800 million Facebook shares hit the market
The lockup period on the largest portion of the social network shares held by insiders ends on Wednesday as they become eligible for sale.
Updated: 10:12 a.m. ET
Facebook (FB) was bracing for a sell-off Wednesday when another share lockup expires. The stock closed down 1% on Tuesday as investors prepared for the worst. Instead, shares of the social network zoomed nearly 10% higher in early morning trade.
Brian Wieser, an analyst with Pivotal Research Group, told the Financial Post that the expiration could lead to a "near-doubling of the float of freely trading shares."
More than 1.3 billion shares were available on Tuesday. Nearly 800 million additional shares are scheduled to be added Wednesday -- more than any other period in the company's public history.
"We believe only a portion of newly free shares will be sold in the near-term," Wieser added.
But a "portion" could still amount to a significant loss. When the last lockup expired, Facebook dropped 5%, as TechCrunch reported.
Facebook currently trades near $20. If the stock matched the previous 5% decline Wednesday, it would have dropped below $19. Instead, it is trading at $21.75.
This day has terrified numerous investors. They couldn't decide whether they should sell or hold on to the stock for a little longer. After all, Facebook is now the proud social network with one billion members worldwide. If Facebook ever figures out how to properly monetize each of those users, the company could become one of the most profitable enterprises in the world.
Current shareholders would hate to miss out on that. But they may have been too scared to hold on to their investment. (This is why experts say that investors should not let their emotions control or influence their decisions.)
Whatever happens, Wieser is not too worried. "To the extent volumes do turn out to be heavy, downward pressure on the stock should be limited," he said, adding that "demand from institutional investors is likely to emerge if selling proved heavy at depressed prices." He believes that eager investors are "likely" to hold off until the stock trades at a more reasonable price.
"If significant selling did occur, institutional investors who have otherwise been sitting on the sidelines would initiate positions," he concluded. It seems Wieser was right.
On October 23, shares of Facebook rose significantly after the company reported its third-quarter results. The company continued to rise the next day, gaining 20%.
Wedbush Securities (which maintained its "buy" rating and $35 price target) was among the firms to praise Facebook's results. Stifel Nicolaus upgraded the stock from "hold" to "buy," while Jefferies raised its price target on Facebook stock from $30 to $32.
More from Benzinga
The entire stock market is manipulated by the big players and the Feds. Its a way for insiders to make legal profit and for ordinary investors to have a hope of a future profits. The manipulation of the stock market is a natural thing because big players and market makers have plenty of money to influence the market. This way they know its direction and they can benefit from that. When Michael Milken dominated junk bond market in the same way, some people like Rudy Guiliani and others did not like it and filed criminal charges against him. They shamelessly used RICO against him and his financial organization. I Wonder, if RICO was applied against Goldman or any other houses, would they withstand the pressure? Its a retorical question because we know they would NOT.
"Facebook (FB) was bracing for a sell-off Wednesday …..Instead, shares of the social network are zooming nearly 10% higher in early morning trade."
It makes no sense. Exactly. Nothing about this stock has made sense since the day it went public, except that all the insiders have been cashing in as fast a furious as they can.
That includes Sheryl Sandberg, the companies glorified humanitarian COO, who has been doing the same over the last few weeks in preparation for leaving the company.
It's more than manipulation. The whole thing is one big scam.

ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB News Channel 5) - On June 26, 2014, Alexandria Police arrested Brandon Allison, 31, of Alexandria and charged him with one count Possession of Stolen Things over $1500.00 and two counts Theft under $500.00.
On June 23, 2014, APD Officers were dispatched to a residence in the 3300 Block of Olga Street in reference to a theft. The complainant reported he had several lawn care items and tools stolen from the residence.
The investigation found that the complainant located some of his items at two local pawn shops in Alexandria. Following the execution of a search warrant, evidence was discovered linking Allison to the theft.
Allison was arrested on a warrant listing the above charges while at the Rapides Parish Detention Center where he was being detained on unrelated charges.
Allison had 33 bookings in the Rapides Parish System, according to APD.
This incident is still under investigation and no other details are being released at this time.

Pacers hold their own workout during lockout
The last time this happened, the team in the blue and yellow were trendsetters.
With veterans like Mark Jackson and Reggie Miller leading the way, many of the members of the 1998-1999 Pacers stayed in Indianapolis as a lockout dragged from the fall into January.
In that year, they were the only team to do so, and because of it they reached the Eastern Conference Finals that season and then the NBA Finals in 2000.
Perhaps thats why members of the 2011-2012 Pacers, who remain in a lockout of their own, have followed suit.
On Tuesday, a number of player attended an informal practice session to try and keep some continuity as the labor situation in the NBA continues to be sorted out.
"We had about ten to 11 guys in, almost the whole team was here," said forward Paul George, who participated in workouts with the Knox Pro Am team on Tuesday night as they prepared for a game against the Goodman league Saturday.
The workout was closed to both the public and the media, but its expected the team will continue workouts together throughout the week.
Since July 1st, when the past labor agreement expired, both the players and the owners have been far apart on an agreement. Much of the problems surround the NBA's desire to have a salary cap for its players, citing loss of revenue.
Negotiations by both sides so far haven't led to progress on an agreement.
In the meantime, the Pacers along with other teams will have to find a way to stay in shape-and together-should training camp or the season be delayed. After one workout, George says there's reason to be optimistic for what the Pacers might have next year.
"You just see how much everybody has improved and what they've worked on with there game. It kinda showed a little bit," said George of the team. "It was a fun experience this morning and everybody is looking forward to these next days.

Series: Evolution Basics (48 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
We feel that the long-term efforts by ForumC to bring these different factions together are beginning to bear fruit. Where the atmosphere at the first conference was at times tense, this second conference was perceived by all those present as more relaxed and open. The willingness to concede past? errors and the problems involved in the respective positions taken was one clear sign of this.
Musician Michael Gungor talks about the recent controversy over the evolution of his views on evolution, science, and biblical authority.
News about the Ebola outbreak and initiatives in genomic medicine lead our news roundup this week, with a collection of research and learning opportunities in biology and at the science/faith border to follow.
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
The great irony lies here: these partisans are actually leading good-hearted people to reject their faith, precisely because these partisans have convinced these good-hearted people that they must accept a false dichotomy.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!
Last year I introduced readers to one of the leading voices about Christianity and science, John Polkinghorne. I also helped BioLogos bring in another leading voice, Robert Russell. This new series introduces a third prominent Christian thinker, Lutheran theologian Ted Peters, Research Professor Emeritus in Systematic Theology and Ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (http://www.ctns.org/), and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
This week in origins news is a rousing medley of articles about science and faith, from multiple angles. Some classics on science, religion, and the classroom along with some probing into where atheists come from, new resources from John Polkinghorne, and an off-the-beaten-path blog post.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
We are interactive human beings with a capability and a need to connect with others. Those connections can be through electronic or written means but nothing can replace the need for direct personal engagement. Our annual meetings continue to provide that interaction in an environment of open discussion and often vigorous debates.
Most Christian students have a lot of questions about evolution and the other controversies, but are afraid to ask them for fear of the adults gasping in horror. The right way for a Christian teacher to proceed is to accommodate questions, foster inquiry, and encourage students to think and engage with the issues.
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
Zoom in; slow down. These are relevant principles for the conversation between Christian faith and evolution, too, particularly around thorny issues related to human origins and the Fall.
