South Florida's current woes could be traced back to last year, when the Bulls began the season on a four-game winning streak that included an opening victory at Notre Dame.
In the fifth game, however, the Bulls went to Pittsburgh and with an opportunity to shine in a nationally televised Thursday night game, instead lost a 44-17 decision to the Panthers.
In the remaining seven games, the Panthers would win only once more, and after that promising beginning to the season, didn't make a bowl game for the first time since 2004.
Combined with that finish and the start to this year, the Bulls have gone 4-14 since that loss to the Panthers and are only 2-10 in Big East games over that span.

-Energy Policy-
Energy policy is dominating the election-year program at the annual CERA Week Energy Conference, beginning Monday at the Hilton Americas-Houston Downtown. The conference will tackle issues including the plummeting price of natural gas, tension in the Persian Gulf and the revival of U.S. oil production.
The seminar will feature speakers CEO's Rex Tillerson of Exxon Mobil, Peter Voser of Royal Dutch Shell and Jeffrey Immelt of General Electric.
-Gas Prices-
It may not surprise you to learn a new report from the St. Louis Fed points to Wall Street speculators as the culprits behind rising gas prices, and not oil companies. The gas prices have risen by as much as 15-percent. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders wants the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to take immediate action to limit excessive speculation, with 67 other members of Congress backing his demands. "What we want to do is limit the amount of oil that any individual corporation can control in a given day," says Sanders. The Fed says excessive speculation played a significant role in oil price increases between 2004 and 2008 and their subsequent collapse.
-BP's Settlement-
BP's multibillion-dollar settlement over its deadly 2010 oil spill in the Gulf is removing uncertainty about the potential financial damages it faces. BP's spill-related costs were estimated at $200billion, but the figure will likely be less than a quarter that amount. One by-product of the settlement is a system for monitoring health concerns, and compensation for people whose illnesses are found to be linked to the disaster.
-United Airlines Takes Over Houston-Based Continental Airlines
How was your flight on United over the weekend? Delays and long telephone wait times were the norm as United swallowed up Continental's operations, but the company says more flights were on time Sunday than Saturday. A quarter of the company's flights on Saturday were delayed 30 minutes or more, but 99 percent of all flights were completed. Of domestic United flights Sunday, 83% were on time through the afternoon. The company says its on-time goal is 80 percent.
-Coupon Clippers-
Attention, extreme-coupon clippers: Retailers are on to you! While coupon redemptions rose more than 60% last year, some stores are taking steps against extreme coupon clippers. Rite-Aid, Wal-Mart and Kroger are making it harder to go to extremes with coupons buy limiting the number coupons you could use in one day, or make it more time consuming to try to pay nearly nothing. They are even considering steps to even make money with coupons. Jeannette Pavini of coupons.com says there are many legitimate deals you can take advantage of: "A lot of coupons now are online and people don't take the time they just assume they're going to get a sale price," says Pavini.
-Apple & Proview Electronics-
Remember that Chinese court battle between Apple and Proview Electronics, which is challenging Apple Inc.'s use of the iPad trademark? Chinese media reports a creditor wants to have the ailing computer monitor maker liquidated to repay $8.6 billion in debts. Fubon Insurance is seeking $8.68 million in debts. The reports say it has filed an application to have Proview declared bankrupt. Apple is appealing a ruling against its claim to the iPad trademark which it says it bought from Proview in 2009.
Banks left a record $1.08 trillion on deposit overnight at the European Central Bank on Friday. The figures released today exceeded the record deposited Thursday and reflects the flood of cash released into the European banking system by the central bank.
-Carlos Slim-
Carlos Slim, Mexico's telecommunications tycoon, is the richest person on Earth, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Slim's net worth fell $478.4 million in a day to $68.5 billion on Friday, as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett placed second and third on the list.
Code-writers for digital start-ups are changing the face of "geekdom". Former engineers from diverse backgrounds are giving rise to a new title: "brogrammer".
Think frat house moniker "bro" and "programmer," the term has become the subject of a Facebook Inc. group joined by more than 21,000 people. As one online site posited, "How does a programmer become a" brogrammer"? Drink Red Bull, beer and "bro-tein" shakes.
-Dow Jones-
The Dow Jones dropped a fraction to close at 12,977…and ended the week with a dip of 4-one-hundredths of a percent.
The S&P 500 lost three-tenths to 1,369…but gained 3-tenths percent for the week.
The Nasdaq dropped 4-tenths to 2,976…but for the week gained 4-tenths percent.
Crude-oil pulled back $2.14 to settle at $106.70 a barrel.
Natural Gas down 7-cents to $2.41
Gold dropped $12.40 to land at $1,709.80/ounce.

Passwords are a necessary evil. They're a pain to create and a struggle to remember - as this comedian hilariously explains. But if you decide to take shortcuts, you make a hacker's job much, much easier.
Fortunately, I know a few tricks to make the whole thing simpler. Before I get to that, though, it's good to refresh your memory on a few ground rules for creating strong passwords.
We'll start with the most basic rule:
1. Don't make the password easy to guess
Whenever there's a big data breach and user passwords are exposed, security companies always make a list of the most common passwords people were using. In fact, they made one for the Adobe data breach that happened at the end of 2013.
The five most common passwords were "123456," "123456789," "password," "adobe123," and "12345678." You can read the full list here.
Obviously, you shouldn't use those or anything like them. The same goes for special dates; names of spouses, children, relatives or pets; or any password using the full name of the service you're making the password for.Next page: So, what should you use?

|Workshop 1: 22nd May 2012

|If you are already engaged in online marketing and online advertisement, you would already be aware of the infinite options available.
Campaign management has diverted into multiple channels. It is no longer the question of whether to include more than one online advertising component; it's about how to choose the right channels and how to optimise and maximise your return. Running an efficient contact-based campaign back to back with an ad serving campaign while tracking back the results to the conversion funnel has been a challenging and rather confusing mission.
This unique workshop is designed to help you to overcome the challenges of Multi Channel Campaign Management covering several platforms, from Google Ads to Facebook Ads, to Mobile campaign through contact-based campaign utilising eDM and SMS.
This workshop is aimed at those who run online campaigns and want to get out of the tunnel view to explore the opportunity to run smarter campaigns and maximise budget, results and ultimately ROI.
Topics and themes covered in this workshop includes:

|Digital Workshop 2: Multi Screen, Multi Device – Emerging Mobile Trends
|Workshop 2: 22nd May 2012
1.20pm – 4.30pm
|Mobile is just about the hottest thing since sliced bread. The statistics on the ever expending mobile web is staggering, and beyond the wildest predictions of 2010 and 2011.
The promise of a truly mobile web is being delivered every day, with extended, faster 3G and 4G network and a growing number of web enabled mobile devices. We are living through the super fast evolution of this market, turning to a multi-screen, multi-device selection, driven by the growing number of vendors and diversity of needs and preferences.
Tablet and iPad sales are expected to exceed PC sales by 2014. Smartphones have already become a default choice for most mobile users. The mobile web is expected to double the footprint of the web as we know it and is already recognised as the most significant game changer since the emerging of the web in 1995.
This workshop is designed after a market research confirming the need for APAC businesses to understand the mobile landscape and form a successful and executable business strategy for great results.
This workshop is aimed at those who are involved with the development of their organisation's mobile strategy and looking to exploit the opportunities created by the expansion of the mobile web and the offering of various mobile devices, running on several operation systems with user centric interfaces.
Topics and themes covered in this workshop includes:
This workshop is lead by:
Dr Rod Farmer, Director, Mobile Experience
Alan Williams, Director – Products and Technical Services, Blink Mobile Technologies

Darwinia Slated for Xbox Live ArcadeA new listing on the Entertainment Software Rating Board's website reveals that a downloadable version of Introversion Software's lo-fi action-strategy hybrid Darwinia (PC) is coming to the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade.
The listing uncovered on the ESRB's website notes an Xbox Live Arcade version of Darwinia alongside its Windows PC counterpart. An XBLA port of the title has been rumored as far back as 2006, but both Microsoft and the developers have remained quiet about Darwinia's appearance on the platform.
Mixing elements of strategy, action, God games and other genres, Darwinia tasks players with guiding artificially intelligent beings to safety inside a highly stylized and Tron-like computerized environment. The game was developed by indie developer Introversion, whose other PC works include DEFCON and the hacker sim Uplink.
No official announcement of Darwinia on Xbox Live Arcade has yet been made. Shacknews has reached the developer for confirmation, but has not heard back as of this writing.

There is one very thankful mother deer out in Colorado Springs.
Todd Dierdorff told FOX 9 a baby deer fell into his neighbor's window well, so he gently crawled down to retrieve it. The mother deer was watching from a distance, but once he got into the well and the baby deer squealed, she came right over to see what was going on.
Dierdorff said the mother was very nervous, but he was able to save the fawn, who walked away seemingly unharmed.
Dierdorff said he checked with wildlife rescue before doing anything. Deer often wander into their neighborhood but he doesn't know how the deer got into the well.

Anonymous asked: Hi, Emily, enjoyed your art gallery blog. Didn't know you were an Emily Carr fan. I have seen her work when I was very young. In books, it depends on the quality of the print reproduction but in real life I find her style very dark, almost gloomy. Certainly the impact art has on us often depends on our mood while we're viewing it. I would not want Emily Carr hanging in my home! Yes to Matisse, Renoir or Tissot...but that's an entirely different period! Take care, look forward to your next post.
Thank you very much! I really enjoyed the "movement of nature" in the paintings I saw of hers. They seem almost peaceful and yet very lonely because of the dark mixture of thick colours…maybe travelling through a place that doesn't look like it has an ending. I agree, gloomy is a very good word choice! :) I see BC in them a lot…and yet…whenever I am hiking (which is a few times a week) the sun is so bright which is not present in these paintings. However, I know it does rain a lot here…so I wonder it the rainy nature creates gloomy feelings? ;)
Thank you for your thoughts!!!! I love them!

Chancellor Angela Merkel thanked former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev for making change possible in East Germany as she visited what was once a fortified border crossing on Monday — retracing her steps on the night 20 years ago the Berlin Wall fell.
While his budget proposal didn't change much in terms of policy, Gov. Jerry Brown tried to draw a political line in his press conference Monday: between those who are willing to push budget problems off into the future and those who want to reckon with the here and now.
Brown pointed again and again to what he called the "Wall of Debt" -- $34 billion in various obligations that the state has taken on as part of previous budget efforts. These include the money the state still owes on the voter-approved 2004 borrowing that was supposed to save the state budget. Other money included various promises to balance the budget that didn't come due, or had other unexpected costs.
Brown pointedly said that the budget proposal released last week by legislative Republicans would not cut down this wall of debt -- but could add to it because of unrealistic assumptions. He has a point there -- since the Republicans assume big increases in revenues to cover the budget. What's less clear is whether his own plan will "tear down the Wall of Debt", as he pledged. Many of the pieces of his program -- from tax extensions to savings by eliminating redevelopment agencies -- may not be enacted, could face court challenge, or may not produce the expected savings.
That said, the Wall of Debt is a smart way to illustrate to voters the consequences of failing to reckon with California's structural deficit.

When does Johnny Appleseed get his cut?
On a more serious note... the background of the VSBT logo is silver which is in line with Apple's logo also the leaf points the same direction. The only striking differences are the addition of color and an ACRONYM. I think Apple has a case, being in the software business, VSBT's logo implies a relationship with Apple which they do not endorse.
Sure, the apple is a universal symbol but is most commonly red and also has a stem, so if VSBT wished to use an apple without copying Apple Inc. there are many other design directions that should have been examined.
Apple wins this one hands down.
Lol wtf, does apple have like a team that just looks for their trademark around the world or something? This is just getting out of hand, like wow it's a school... and the apple symbol is practically different too with different contour + no bite. One day they will probably sue an actual apple...
Apple needs to realize that sueing anything with an apple as a trademark isn't going to help their market / stock
Apple is a big company now, and they are sueing all the small individual and corporations? Give me a break. Learn from Microsoft on how they do business. You don't sue everyone just because you are rich, that makes me feels like Apple is just a kid that rant about everything to the teacher and mom.
Apple, you don't gain respect this way. After this I feel less support for Apple and i want them to go back to where they were. Because having a rich kid with power to sue all they want, is as dangerous as giving a nuclear remote control to an Ape.
I wish this site would have had the money to fight Apple, perhaps it would have put them in their place and prevented a lot of the other stupid legal action like this.
In addition, I would love to see someone take Apple to court over denying warranty service for "unauthorized third party software" being found on the phone. In just about everything that is out there, manufacturers are not allowed to deny warranty service just for the presence of non-oem parts/software for example a computer company can't deny a warranty claim just because you added a new OS or Blu-Ray drive after buying it. A car company cannot deny warranty service because you installed a non-oem battery or light bulb.
And if we could get California to pass that Cell Phone User's Bill of Rights that they were attempting to do that would make it illegal to sell a locked cell phone in California we would be set.
I understand it's the whole principle and all, taking what's not theirs and switching it up a bit to make it theirs but how as someone else said, how many ways are there to draw an apple? They took the notch out, that's good enough for me.
The whole "give your teacher an apple" goes hand-in-hand with education/school so it only makes sense for them to use an apple too.
Sure, they could've used a book, or a chaulkboard, or..... haha, whatever.
Is this why we all jailbreak our phones to "stand up to the man?"
what a f'd up world we live in. its an apple for petes sake!!!!!!!!! apple you fail in my eyes.
That's like saying if I make a web site about weather and use a cloud in my logo I'm copying mobileme.
It's only so many ways you can draw an apple and you can't forgot that while apple is a company the actual fruit does exist. If the schools logo was influenced by the company apple then where did apple get it's design influence from?
Both logos look like apples as intended. Unless you're not drawing an apple I don't see how you can have two apples that are not similar.
Here's a 20 second search of logo's. Do any of them look like Apple's logo?
you guys gotta remember, it does look like Apple is being a bully but under law you have to make a strong effort to protect your trademarks or they fall into public domain, like how people call any tissue a kleenex, or when they search the internet the google something.
Coporations have to maintain their effort to protect their marks so they dont get diluted and get released intot he public domain
On closer inspection of the photo on the school's website shows the front building with their logo splashed all over the windows with Adobe and Microsoft. What gets my attention is this:
"Not affiliated with Apple"
If you are advertising this next to your logo on your building, you are infringing on the copyright. You have already admitted that there is a close resemblance.
Apple has a strong case here...
From the shape of the bottom of the schools apple to the shape of the top of the schools apple, both are different then apples logo.
Personally that's why when making designs I start from scratch.
hey is that the new apple logo? is apple really serious? and i bet that school has had that logo longer than apple. technically the school should be suing them for copying their design because apple switched from the retro colored apple to this silver one.

Affirmation Comparative Study Between Traditional Contract and Electronic Contract
In the electronic environment, several contracts will be conducted; especially that contracting is permissible legally through this mean. Since the contracting involves the affirmation and acceptance, I will address the electronic affirmation distinguishing it from the conventional affirmation. I have used the comparative analytical description method.
I have divided this research into two sections; the first one addressed the theory of contract, where the affirmation can be discussed only after clarifying the contract theory and indicating some specificity with respect to electronic contracting, while the second section addressed the affirmation, as a major pillar of contract by comparing conventional contract and electronic contracting.

Solution to Water Balloons
We were going to need about 500 water balloons to launch for an event we are doing with large group of kids. But filling them takes forever and the clean-up is horrible. So we are using these water bombs instead. They are safer, reusable, and there's no filling or clean-up required. Great Product!

Sony reveals eleven new Cybershots, plus Bloggies, 3D dual-everything camcorder, and camcorders w/built-in projectors
Sony has launched eleven fixed-lens point and shoot models. Sony is touting their 3D feature with one-lens and one-sensor that works for both stills and movies. How much this is marketing BS and how effective it will be? Well, time will tell :) Just like others, Sony is moving to the 16-megapixel sensor, making the memory card manufacturers rub their hands with glee (Jane Lynch not included!) ;-)
Sony has resisted the urge to move to a bigger zoom ratio, and both the new HX7v and H70 compact-zooms remain at 10x. On the T-series front, they have the TX100v with a 3.5" OLED display, the TX10 and the T110. The WX-series gets two models this time around, the WX10 and WX9. And unlike last year where they had a confusing 8-camera W-series burst, this time they have a more logical four-pack.
A bit surprising is that Sony has yet to announce a mid-size or above superzoom, with the aging HX1 holding down the fort. The HX1 was announced in early March 2009. Not a surprise, but Sony continues to not release a serious compact. Perhaps they think that the NEX series overlaps with this market segment.
Sony has also launched a 3D Bloggie, and this one, unlike the one-lens 3D of the Cybershots, actually has two lenses. But if you prefer a standard 2D bloggie but need a back and front LCD, they have also announced the "Bloggie Duo".
On the more exciting part, their new HDR-TD10 is a consumer tier 3D Handycam camcorder, with two G-series lenses, two Exmor-R sensors and two Bionz image processors. It also features 64GB of on-board flash memory. It is in the consumer line, but it will start at around $1500 in April.
There are many other camcorders as well, including three that have built-in projectors!
A total of 64 new Sony items (!) are available for pre-order at Amazon.

Training Camp Battle: Blaine Gabbert vs. Chad Henne
5/17/12 in NFL | Matthew_Shovlin | 735 respect
I'm one of the biggest Gabbert haters around, always have been, but I'll come to his defense before I rip him apart. First of all, he's a rookie. Expecting a raw rookie quarterback to succeed will almost always leave you disappointed. Also, his receivers were pathetic last season. The leading receiver was tight end Marcedes Lewis who finished with a mere 460 yards on 39 catches and no touchdowns. Running back Maurice Jones-Drew finished second on the team with 43 receptions, just one less than team leader Mike Thomas. Now their low production does have somewhat to do with Gabbert's lack of ability, but I'm not sure Joe Montana could have had a good season with these guys catching his passes. Despite that, Gabbert's incompetence is shown by more than his offensive production.
The reason I find Mularkey's comment about Gabbert's confidence so absurd is because I don't think I have ever seen a quarterback sit in the pocket with less poise. He looks like a squirrel surrounded by hungry bears when he drops back. That's something that can't be taught. Certain guys have the ability to feel the pass rush and hang in there ready to throw until they need to make a move. Gabbert can't do that, and I don't think he ever will. He led the league in yards lost on sacks, despite only starting 14 games. I'm a Raiders fan. I watched JaMarcus Russell struggle with the same problem, and I painfully endured his career while the problem was never resolved. Don't give me any "no he was bad because of accuracy." He was inaccurate because he was scared. He was plenty accurate in college when he was facing an NCAA pass rush. He had far more talent than Gabbert and never solved his pocket presence issues. Gabbert won't either.

If you live in Oklahoma, you have until December 31, 2009 to buy an electric car for about $900. Through a combination of federal and cialis in india state tax credits, the Kandi Coco drops from its retail price of $10,600 to a cool $865. The federal tax credit amounts to $4,435 while the http://www.transitofvenus.org/where-to-get-viagra-in-canada state is offering a 50 percent tax credit.
Well, now let's get down to www.gallin.fr what you get for your $900. The Coco is a neighborhood electric vehicle, and trust us, you won't be leaving your neighborhood in it. The maximum speed it can reach is 25 mph. But if you've ever considered buying a golf cart for getting around, this is a much sweeter option, and with the tax credits, actually cheaper. It charges in six to seven hours, has an AM/FM radio and comes in yellow, red, blue and black.
So, while the market for such a car is canadian cialis online limited, and the market for such a car in Oklahoma is even more limited, those who do fall into that demographic have the chance to score a pretty sweet deal.
written by Barney Sperlin, December 16, 2009
I'm a little fuzzy on your math. Since the state and federal monies are tax credits you will get some money back when you file in the spring. Therefore, when you buy it you must come up with $10600 (plus other fees such as title fees).
OK, now you're out $10600 for your street legal golf cart. Now the feds will allow you to deduct $4435 in the spring. If you are in the 33% tax bracket (not unusual) you will actually pay $1478 less on your fed taxes as a result of best buy for viagra this purchase. The state benefit of 50% is also a tax credit, but state tax is probably a small % (7%??). So 7% of $5300, or $371. So you'll get back $1478 + $371 = $1849 in the spring, after laying down $10600 in December. Not exactly the cialis free pills $900 car you were expecting. Perhaps there is an error in the text of the article?

It's been one year since UC Davis police infamously pepper-sprayed students who were camped out in protest on the campus quad, and university officials say they have learned a valuable lesson.
During a Wednesday interview, school officials reflected on the event and vowed again not to repeat the mistakes of last fall.
"It was clear that we needed a different philosophy," said Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Ralph Hexter. "That would be patience."
The episode unfolded a year ago today after campus police were sent in to remove tents set up on the quad during a multi-day demonstration against service cuts and tuition hikes. The situation grew tense as students refused the orders to disperse and encircled officers, chanting for the release of protesters who had been arrested.
The police response two officers systematically pepper-spraying students who remained seated in defiance was captured on video that went viral online and prompted international condemnations.
The months that followed brought both internal and external investigations into how campus administrators handled the incident.
Ultimately, the university agreed to a $1 million settlement with 21 students who were pepper-sprayed. As part of the settlement, the university agreed to pay $20,000 to the ACLU for legal fees to advise UC Davis on policies for handling future demonstrations.
Hexter highlighted changes in the Police Department, as well as new policies for protest management as signs that the university indeed has changed. The two UC Davis officers who deployed the pepper spray no longer work for the department. Chief Annette Spicuzza retired in April after an independent panel issued a report critical of her management.
The new campus police chief, Matthew Carmichael, has reiterated his "commitment to community policing." Carmichael said he has worked to ensure all officers understand and practice the new guidelines, but conceded not everything will be perfect.
"You have to understand, we are human. We will make mistakes," Carmichael said last week.
Administrators say the new approach was evident in the university's handling of the U.S. Bank protest in the spring. A daily sit-in outside the campus branch was monitored by police, but they refrained from physically removing protesters. Instead, university staff passed out leaflets informing protesters they were in violation of the law.
In late March, with the sit-in still in force, officials unexpectedly pressed charges against 11 students and one professor who had been blocking the bank an outcome Hexter called a "good exemplification of being patient," noting that no force was used.
Critics of the administration argue that the oppression has only taken a new form.
"They have replaced pepper spray with court orders," said student activist David Roddy. "It's no less repressive."
Commemorative activities to mark the anniversary of the pepper-spraying are expected to be low-key. Some activists accused the university of "co-opting" a planned Monday rally. Several speakers pulled out after the administration asked to participate, said Ian Lee, one of the students sprayed last November.
As of Saturday morning, a Facebook event for the rally had 92 attendees. Last year, a rally called two days after the pepper-spraying drew 6,000 people.
Justin Goss, a senator from the student government, acknowledges that progress has been made but said "not enough was done in the aftermath of the incident" to change direction at the university, which increasingly relies on private funding.
"We had tons of media exposure media trucks were everywhere," he said. "I felt like we had enormous power that didn't get capitalized. The students were right, the administration was wrong."
Students and faculty remain divided on whether Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi should have kept her job. Katehi withstood calls to resign, but was censured by the UC Davis Academic Senate.
Proposition 30's passage two weeks ago has many administrators, including Hexter, breathing a sigh of relief. Approval of the tax measure means the University of California cannot raise tuition this year, and will get an additional $125 million in state funding next year.
"Had it not passed, we would have expected fairly sizable protests," Hexter said.
Still, Goss cautions the campus against forgetting the events of last fall.
"The best protection students have is the memory of what happened," he said.

Letting Others Help
You're not alone
Because of MS-related fatigue, you may find you need help from friends and family members every so often. In fact, learning to let others help is one of the most important adjustments you can make as you manage your relapsing MS over time. To start, you may want to ask a friend or family member to be your MS care partner. You could even build a care partner team. Your MS care partner(s) can:
- Take notes at your doctor visits
- Remind you to take your medication
- Help you with your weekly injections
- Help you keep your insurance coverage on track
- Be there to listen when you just need to talk
Adapting to change
Whether you're experiencing a flare-up, coping with your current symptoms, or simply need to rest more often, you may find there are times when MS interferes with your daily routines.
Aside from the impact this may have on your income or your ability to work, MS can also affect the way you relate to family and friends. Plus, MS may occasionally put limits on your ability to participate in some social events or interact with those close to you.
By staying positive, however, many people with MS learn to adapt. And like them, you can learn to:
- Accept that, sometimes, you may need help with everyday things
- Have the patience to help loved ones understand how MS affects you
- Stay actively involved in family life; continue to share your love and support
- Find new, MS-friendly activities you can share with family and friends.
Reaffirming the support of your family and friends
Because relapsing MS affects everyone differently, and at different times, you never know when you may have a flare-up or how your symptoms and needs may change over time. So as you adapt to living with MS, it's important to understand the stress this uncertainty can have on your relationship with your family and friends. To help deal with that stress you can:
- Share your feelings about living with MS
- Help your loved ones understand how relapsing MS affects you
- Stay positive and seek advice about managing your condition
- Get psychological counseling if your concerns about MS affect your mood
- Be flexible as you seek solutions to practical problems
- Take time to discuss how your needs may change over time
Above all, as at any time in your relationships, work to reaffirm your love and commitment to those around you every day. Remember, you're not defined by your MS. It's the choices you make and the impact you have on others that make you who you are. Sharing how your life has changed with MS—and how much you appreciate your friends' or loved ones' help—is one way to keep your relationships strong.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Please see the full Prescribing Information and Medication Guide for additional important safety information. This information is not intended to replace discussions with your healthcare provider.
AVONEX (interferon beta-1a) is approved by FDA to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) to decrease the number of flare-ups and slow the occurrence of some of the physical disability that is common in people with MS. AVONEX is approved for use in people who have experienced a first attack and have lesions consistent with MS on their MRI.
Important Safety Information
Before beginning treatment, you should discuss with your healthcare provider the potential benefits and risks associated with AVONEX.
AVONEX can cause serious side effects. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any of the symptoms listed below while taking AVONEX.
- Behavioral health problems including depression, suicidal thoughts or hallucinations. Some people taking AVONEX may develop mood or behavior problems including irritability (getting upset easily), depression (feeling hopeless or feeling bad about yourself), nervousness, anxiety, aggressive behavior, thoughts of hurting yourself or suicide, and hearing or seeing things that others do not hear or see (hallucinations).
- Liver problems, or worsening of liver problems including liver failure and death. Symptoms may include nausea, loss of appetite, tiredness, dark colored urine and pale stools, yellowing of your skin or the white part of your eye, bleeding more easily than normal, confusion, and sleepiness. During your treatment with AVONEX you will need to see your healthcare provider regularly and have regular blood tests to check for side effects.
- Serious allergic reactions and skin reactions. Symptoms may include itching, swelling of the face, eyes, lips, tongue or throat, trouble breathing, anxiousness, feeling faint, and skin rash, hives, sores in your mouth, or your skin blisters and peels.
AVONEX will not cure your MS but may decrease the number of flare-ups of the disease and slow the occurrence of some of the physical disability that is common in people with MS. MS is a life-long disease that affects your nervous system by destroying the protective covering (myelin) that surrounds your nerve fibers.
The way AVONEX works in MS is not known. It is not known if AVONEX is safe and effective in children.
Do not take AVONEX if you are allergic to interferon beta, albumin (human), or any of the ingredients in AVONEX.
Before taking AVONEX, tell your healthcare provider if you:
- are being treated for a mental illness, or had treatment in the past for any mental illness, including depression and suicidal behavior.
- have or had bleeding problems or blood clots, have or had low blood cell counts, have or had liver problems, have or had seizures (epilepsy), have or had heart problems, have or had thyroid problems, have or had any kind of autoimmune disease (where the body's immune system attacks the body's own cells), such as psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or rheumatoid arthritis.
- drink alcohol.
- are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if AVONEX will harm your unborn baby. Tell your healthcare provider if you become pregnant during your treatment with AVONEX.
- are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if AVONEX passes into your breast milk. You and your healthcare provider should decide if you will use AVONEX or breastfeed. You should not do both.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
AVONEX can cause serious side effects including:
Heart problems, including heart failure. While AVONEX is not known to have any direct effects on the heart, a few patients who did not have a history of heart problems developed heart muscle problems or congestive heart failure after taking AVONEX. If you already have heart failure, AVONEX may cause your heart failure to get worse. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have worsening symptoms of heart failure such as shortness of breath or swelling of your lower legs or feet while using AVONEX.
- Some people using AVONEX may have other heart problems including low blood pressure, fast or abnormal heart beat, chest pain, and heart attack or heart muscle problem (cardiomyopathy).
- Blood problems. AVONEX can affect your bone marrow and cause low red and white blood cell, and platelet counts. In some people, these blood cell counts may fall to dangerously low levels. If your blood cell counts become very low, you can get infections and problems with bleeding and bruising.
- Seizures. Some patients have had seizures while taking AVONEX, including patients who have never had seizures before.
- Infections. Some people who take AVONEX may get an infection. Symptoms of an infection may include fever, chills, pain or burning with urination, urinating often, bloody diarrhea, and coughing up mucus.
- Thyroid problems. Some people taking AVONEX develop changes in their thyroid function. Symptoms of thyroid changes include problems concentrating, feeling cold or hot all the time, weight changes, and skin changes.
Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any of the symptoms listed above.
The most common side effects of AVONEX include:
- Flu-like symptoms. Most people who take AVONEX have flu-like symptoms early during the course of therapy. Usually, these symptoms last for a day after the injection. You may be able to manage these flu-like symptoms by taking over-the-counter pain and fever reducers. For many people, these symptoms lessen or go away over time. Symptoms may include muscle aches, fever, tiredness, and chills.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Paul & Joe Takes it to the Streets
The fashion and beauty teams at the definitively French Paul & Joe may be more familiar with neighborhoods like the Marais, Montparnasse, and Montmartre, but creative inspiration doesn't have to come from Paris' streets alone—especially when Manhattan is ripe with it. The brand's new Lipstick C collection is an ode to three New York neighborhoods, in bullet form: Uptown Girl is a distinctly feminine pink; SoHo, our personal favorite, a punchy coral; and Lower East Side, a mellow café au lait. All three pack a super-emollient formula that's doused with moisturizing jojoba, apricot seed and olive oils, white lily extract, and orange flower water, which make the pigment apply more like a soothing balm than a lipstick. And as to be expected from Paul & Joe—the label that brought you cat head-shaped lipstick tubes last year—the packaging is adorable. The pretty prints are plucked directly from the Fall 2011 runway collection.

FORT MYERS: Convicted killer Kemar Johnston was sentenced to four life sentences plus thirty years, with the sentences to be served consecutively.
Johnston was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of kidnapping and two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon earlier this year.
In February, a jury recommended life in prison for the so-called ringleader of the Cash Feenz gang.
"We felt it was a death penalty case, but the jury came back with life, and the judge had to give great weight to that. In all reality, 4 consecutive life sentences, plus 30 years - he's never getting out," said prosecutor Marie Doerr.
Johnston is one of 10 people accused in the kidnapping, torture and murder of Alex Sosa, 18, and his nephew Jeffrey, 14, in Cape Coral in October 2006.
Eight others have been convicted or accepted plea deals. One remaining defendant awaits trial.
No family members from the Sosas or the Johnston's wished to comment.
Johnston has 30 days to file an appeal.

Do things we said we'd never do, sacrafice our life just to please you. Each passing day

If you have already decided to train for your first triathlon or you are still tire-kicking the idea, here are a list of links that will get you to through the basics. Remember, it takes 6-9 months to prepare for your first triathlon, so you have to plan ahead!
Quick-Click tips for beginner triathletes preparing for their first mini-triathlon or seasoned triathletes looking for new resources:
Triathlon Swim Basics:
The swim is probably the toughest leg of the triathlon. Following the suggestions below will give you the basics on training and swim gear as well as tips on how to be successful on race day.
- Practice Distance: Most triathletes have the toughest time with swimming and they get in a bit over their head. Be sure you can swim at least 100 yards further than the distance of your race before you participate in your first triathlon. Group swimming is very different than lane swimming and open water has currents, waves and no lines on the ground to follow; so you end up swimming further than you think.
- Stroke Efficiency: It is a proven fact that the swimmer with the lesser amount of arm strokes is more efficient, swims faster and has more left over energy for the rest of the triathlon. If you make a lot of splash and find yourself taking an extraordinary amount of strokes from one end of the pool to the other while practicing, consider working with a coach to learn techniques on elongating your stroke and making it more efficient. There is a fantastic book and video that can also help: Total Immersion Swimming: Perpetual Motion Freestyle in Ten Lessons. It will be the best move you've ever made, and it will make the swim much more enjoyable!
- Drafting:It is proven that you can cover a greater distance with less effort by drafting off of another swimmer. Drafting is when there is a swimmer directly in front of you or ahead of you slightly to the left or right. You get as close as you can get to them. They swim hard, breaking the way, while you swim easily in their wake. If you draft correctly, you will have a extra energy to use on the bike or run.
- Safety: Never swim alone while training. It is dangerous and no one will be able to help you if you become disabled. If you are training in the ocean or lake, train with a buddy. If you are in a pool, be sure there is a lifeguard or buddy on the deck keeping an eye out for you. On the day of the race, if you are not 100% confident in your swimming skills, ask the registration people for a "Novice Swim Cap". This swim cap is a different color than the rest and will distinguish you while you are swimming. Specifically, the lifeguards will keep a special eye on you.
- Best Beginner Training Advice: Do not start with a workout that is too hard or you will be disappointed at the end of every practice — you should feel a sense of accomplishment, not discouragement. See Triathlon Training Resource Guides for training guides.
- Brick Training: Brick training is incorporating two disciplines in one workout. For instance, you complete a swim workout and immediately start a bike workout. Learn why this will prepare you both mentally and physically for your race.
- Avoid Bad Posture: Be sure that your body is aligned properly. Think of yourself as a see-saw. Your back should be relaxed, but straight from head to toe. The front end should be slightly lower than the back end, giving you the feeling of swimming slightly downhill. In addition, your shoulders should not be concave or arched in any way; they should be comfortably lined up with each other.
- Terrain: You can focus your training in whatever body of water is available to you (pool, lake, pond, etc…) BUT plan on partially training in the body of water in which the the event is being held or you will have a big surprise on race day. Again, pool training is very different than ocean training!
- Stretching, Cramps and Fatigue: Stretch out a bit before you get into the pool, do a short warm up and then do a second round of stretching. Loose, warm muscles respond much better to exercise than those that have been sitting stiffly behind a computer all day. The main reason for cramps, headaches and general fatigue while you're training is normally dehydration, so drink lots of water. If you're still feeling bad after you've re hydrated and got some rest, check with your doctor.
- Music: Believe it or not, there an waterproof mp3 player that you can listen to while you're training. Just remember, don't listen to it while you are competing.
- Sunscreen is a must! Apply this to your face and body before your training or event to prevent a sunburn. The sunblock we recommend won't make your face break out!
- H2O: Did you know about 80% of your body is made of water? When you work out, you sweat out some of that much-needed water, which is why it is so important to keep a water bottle or a sports drink available either during or after your swim. The difference between water and sports drinks is that sports drinks have sugar, salt, carbs and electrolytes. Nothing will ever replace water, but sometimes an added sports drink is the key after a huge workout.

Mobile Resource Card, a California marketing firm, engineered the development of the Kardashian Kard by connecting the famous family's brand image to a host of third-party banking and financial services. Consumers who might be nervous about depositing money with the celebutantes can rest assured that their funds remain on deposit with Wisconsin-based University National Bank.
Like other affinity debit and credit cards, the Kardashian Kard will offer special benefits to cardholders. Representatives for Mobile Resource Card told reporters that details on specific card features would be made available at the launch event, but could include special discounts with the Kardashians' other family-owned businesses, including boutiques and fashion brands.

You should evaluate your shield's performance prior to use, even if your agency purchased it for you.
Performance refers to a shield's ability to stop NIJ standard* rounds/velocities, as well as rounds/velocities beyond the standard's requirements (special threats). You should always request a copy of the manufacturer's shield test results. I also run through this mental checklist:
Of course these are not all of the questions you should consider, but they are certainly a start to gaining the confidence you need and should have in the ballistic shield you are using. This is my first of a series of posts on shields. Next week, we will expand upon the various levels of protection. If you can't wait till then, drop me an email at email@example.com.
*The NIJ standard for testing ballistic shields is NIJ Standard-0108.01. This is a testing only standard and test protocols may vary depending on the approved NIJ lab in which the shield was tested.
