Abstract: Since the first descriptions of Antarctic subglacial lakes, there has been a growing interest and awareness of the possibility that life will exist and potentially thrive in these unique and little known environments. The unusual combination of selection pressures, and isolation from the rest of the biosphere, might have led to novel adaptations and physiology not seen before, or indeed to the potential discovery of relic populations that may have become extinct elsewhere. Here we report the first microbiological analysis of a sample taken from a former subglacial lake sediment in Antarctica (Lake Hodgson, on the Antarctic Peninsula). This is one of a number of subglacial lakes just emerging at the margins of the Antarctic ice sheet due to the renewed onset of deglaciation. Microbial diversity was divided into 23.8% Actinobacteria, 21.6% Proteobacteria, 20.2% Planctomycetes and 11.6% Chloroflexi, characteristic of a range of habitat types ( Overall, common sequences were neither distinctly polar, low temperature, freshwater nor marine). Twenty three percent of this diversity could only be identified to "unidentified bacterium". Clearly these are diverse ecosystems with enormous potential.

YouTuber 'JegStuffoInfo' here calls it 'troll high-fiving', which essentially means that you high five people while they're offering up their open palms to the sky. Tonnes of fun, we can all agree.

FORTUNE -- For companies, the holiday season offers an irresistible opportunity to soften the Scrooge-like aura that has enveloped them year-round.
Whether it's providing basics like food and clothing, helping veterans or active soldiers, or efforts like building homes for the disabled, company campaigns centered over the end-of-the-year holidays are ubiquitous. So much so that, for the first time, there is a Pinterest page that provides a panoramic glance at such charitable efforts, which include a growing number of social media and online campaigns to channel money and goods to the needy.
Home Depot's foundation, for example, is donating $1 to Operation Homefront -- which, among other things, retrofits homes for injured soldiers -- for each Home Depot (HD) customer who tweets with a #teamdepot hashtag before Jan. 1. The foundation is aiming to give $100,000 by the end of the year.
Hanes is partnering with the Salvation Army for its fourth annual virtual sock drive, which donates socks for each click on its Facebook page's "donate now" button. It plans to donate 250,000 pairs of socks, which are distributed to the homeless. Kraft Foods (KRFT) and other companies have programs to donate meals to food banks.
MORE: The biggest business feuds of 2013
Other companies have more traditional formulas. Subaru, for example, donates $250 to charity when a buyer purchases or leases a new car. It is the brand's sixth annual campaign, and it expects to wind up donating $35 million to groups such as Meals on Wheels, Teach for America, and the National Park Foundation. American Express (AXP) donates $1 to No Kid Hungry -- up to $1 million -- each time a registered card is used for dining out. DHL Express, for the tenth year, is shipping Christmas trees to soldiers on active duty.
Good causes aside, most companies do not donate out of sentiment. Increasingly, corporations hire professional consultants to help them make sure any charitable efforts line up with the company's business objectives. Food banks, for example, further Kraft's core food identity in a way that giving to other causes might not.
Most companies, according to a "Giving Beyond Borders" study released in October by the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University, said supporting their mission and values is the No. 1 goal for their giving. Following that, in order, are: giving back to their community, building and enhancing the company's reputation, helping to address social problems, and recruiting, retaining, and motivating employees.
"We see a real uptick in companies that want to align their business and philanthropic goals, and to engage their employees in meaningful ways," says Jamie Jaffee, managing partner for the Boston-based consulting firm The Philanthropic Initiative, which has worked with corporations like Boston Scientific, Liberty Mutual, and J. Jill apparel on company giving strategies.
"The holidays are a great time for companies to harness their giving spirit and then build on that momentum for the rest of the year."
Sometimes, even carefully planned giving can run into speed bumps, something Coca-Cola (KO) encountered during its 2012 campaign to support its Arctic Home commitment to preserve polar bears. The company changed the color of its iconic red cans to white and pledged to donate when customers used their cell phones to scan a product. But the change in can color was jettisoned after a few weeks when customers complained that the packaging was confusing.
The drinks giant committed to support the polar bear campaign with $2 million over five years, and this season rolled out a campaign on its two-liter soda bottles and certain drink packs, according to Lauren Thompson, a company spokesperson. So far, the company has raised $3 million in donations for polar bears, and it plans to continue the effort until Feb. 15, she says.
Despite efforts to strategically target charitable funds, many of the country's Fortune 500 companies are actually giving less to such causes, a trend that has continued for several years. An annual survey called Giving USA, by the Chronicle of Philanthropy, found that most companies planned only modest increases in cash gifts to charities this year.
In 2012, donations were up, to $5.3 billion, for the 106 companies that responded to the Giving USA survey, which was released last summer, but only 16% said they would give more in 2013 even though the stock market is soaring and the economy is recovering. The bulk of companies, more than 70%, planned to give about the same, and 6% said they would donate lesser sums.
MORE: Walter Isaacson is crowdsourcing his next book
Instead of cash, companies are increasingly donating products. Last year, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer (PFE) was the top company for the fourth year in a row in giving, which reached $3.1 billion when cash and goods were combined.
Products that tout a company's charitable efforts serve as a visible reminder to consumers, the majority of which remain loyal to a brand that supports a cause, according to marketing studies. Almost 80% of consumers are likely to switch to a product associated with a good cause, according to a 2008 Edelman Good Purpose study.
When cash, goods, and services are combined, overall company giving grew somewhat in 2013 with many companies favoring branded products in front of consumers based on the belief that it translates into broader customer awareness. But more companies are also taking into consideration how they can enable their employees to donate more of their time to charities of their choice.
"This helps companies engage their employees in meaningful ways and ways they choose," says Jaffee.

Dedicated followers of ReadWrite may recall that a couple of months ago I broke my iPhone 4 and spent a week relying on a Google Galaxy Nexus. I enjoyed my experience, but decided that rather than switch to Android, I'd instead upgrade to an iPhone 5 when they became available. (See My Week With Android, Or Why I'm Buying An iPhone 5.)
Well, I hate mail-order, and I hate waiting in lines, so I planned to use my repaired iPhone 4 until I could just walk into a store and pick up the iPhone 5 I wanted. I'm not sure that you can do that anywhere right now, but I had no trouble doing so last week at the flagship Apple store in downtown San Francisco. I know that just about every tech writer on the planet has already weighed in on the iPhone 5, so I'm not going to go into the specs and such. Most likely you all know that stuff already.
Instead, I'm going to share a couple points that jumped out at me after using the iPhone 5 in my daily comings and goings. Some of these observations may seem obvious to some, but they surprised me.
The Bigger Screen: A Disappointment
Sure, the iPhone 5 has a bigger screen, but in my daily use, it didn't seem that much bigger. For viewing websites and apps, I often didn't even notice the extra size (and that's not meant as praise). I was hoping the extra space would ameliorate the screen envy I sometimes feel towards Android devices' whose screens seem to resemble the Great Plains or the Russian Steppes. No such luck. I still have to squint, or pinch-and-zoom to see what I'm looking at.
The extra real estate really came in handy only when I happily put 16 apps in a folder, and stuck an extra row of apps and folders on my home screen. That's saving me some clicking and scrolling as I navigate the 72 apps I migrated from my old phone to the new one. But that's about it. There's still not quite enough room for my fingers when typing, so I still make a zillion errors in every sentence. Autocorrect helps, but only to a point. Too often, it correctly spells a different word than the one I was trying to type.
The Faster Processor: A Sweet Surprise
I didn't think a little extra speed in the chip would make a big difference. After all, it wasn't like I felt my iPhone 4 was slow. I was wrong. Even on the same Wi-Fi connections I was already using, the iPhone 5 was noticeably, significantly faster. Even after a week, I get a little thrill at how quickly apps and Web pages load and present data. It's so dramatic that I find myself using my phone more than ever, for all kinds of things that I wouldn't have wanted to wait for on the iPhone 4.
LTE: As Awesome As Promised
As an AT&T subscriber in San Francisco, speed wasn't my big problem, connectivity and coverage were. But the LTE service in the iPhone 5 seems to help all of those issues, too. I'm getting much better voice connections in my house (which had been problematic) and suffering fewer dropouts and other connection hiccups. And the speed really is amazing. I have 50Mbps Internet at home (see A Love Letter to the Cable Guy, or How Really Fast Broadband Changes Everything), and we have 100Mbps service at ReadWrite World HQ, but I hardly noticed the dropoffs when relying on AT&T's network.
As noted, the faster speeed is encouraging me to use the phone more, so I'm kind of worried I'm going to blow through my data plan and end up spending more money on service - that would be an annoying unintended consequence, although I'm sure AT&T would be thrilled.
The Physical Stuff
The iPhone 5 is thinner and lighter but longer than the iPhone 4. But none of that really made much of a difference to me. It still fits in my pocket, still feels good in my hand.
What did make a difference is that darn Lightning connector. (See iPhone 5's Lightning Connector Is A Bigger Problem Than Apple Thinks.) I like the fact that it goes in either way, but it doesn't seem very sturdy. And even though I spent $30 on the stupid adapter, it still doesn't work on my iPhone speaker units. It charges, sort of, if it doesn't fall over, but it won't play the music. Thankfully, the adapter does allow the iPhone 5 to work with the old iPhone connector kit in my car.
Two New Capabilities
The two most important new capabilities I got with my upgrade are no doubt Siri and turn-by-turn navigation. I'm finding Siri kind of fun to talk to, but not particularly useful. Too often, she doesn't understand my request, or can't find me a decent answer, so just returns a Web search. Yawn. So far at least, I'm asking her fewer and fewer questions. Turn by turn navigation is great, though, even with Apple's sketchy new maps. But at least for me, it's difficult to set it up and hear the instructions while I'm driving, so it's not as useful as I'd like when I'm driving by myself. Of course, my Google Nexus had similar voice commands and navigation features, and they weren't enough to get me to stay on Android. So it shouldn't be too big a surprise that these capabilities are not changing my life on the iPhone 5, either.
Making The Transition
One of the reasons I decided to go with the iPhone 5 was my investment in the Apple ecosystem - my whole family uses iPhones and it's nice to take advantage of some the Apple-only features together, like iMessage and FaceTime. (Sure there are other solutions, but these features work really well within Apple's walled garden.)
Moving to the iPhone 5 wan't completely seamless. It took a few tries to get iTunes (boy, have I ever mentioned how much I hate iTunes?) to back up my old phone and restore everything properly to the new one. I had help from an iOS developer, which was invaluable to learn about a couple key settings to make the process work - especially the need to encrypt the backup to make sure everything moves over properly. Things would no doubt have been easier had I been using iCloud. Or maybe not. (See Cupertino, We Have A Problem.)
Once I got everything moved over, of course, there was zero learning curve. The iPhone 5 had all the same apps and capabilities that I was used to using. I did have to re-pair my Bluetooth connections and call AT&T to change my voice mail password - after two years I had completely forgotten it.
On the other hand, I also didn't get that thrill of discovery or the excitement of playing with something new. The iPhone 5 feels like a sweet upgrade, not a brand new toy. That's a little sad and ironic, but I'm still happy I made the choice. At least until some whizzy new Android or Windows Phone 8 device comes out while I'm still stuck in the 2-year AT&T contract extension I signed to get the new phone.

When people realize that Tia Robbins' husband plays professional football, they often ask her how she deals with the infidelity that surround athletes and their partners. If Tiger Woods did what he did and Brett Favre allegedly made the now publicized advances, what athlete doesn't play the field off the field?
While Tiger's flings were still revealing themselves last year, Robbins had coincidentally founded Off The Market, a company whose goal it is to keep athletes and their significant others faithful.
The company launched last year at a party in New York, but since Fred Robbins is now a defensive tackle with the St. Louis Rams, the next event — which will feature some 40 athletes and their wife or girlfriend — will be held in St. Louis at the end of the month.
Robbins says she's confident that this is a real business. The event in New York was sponsored by a W Hotel, Judith Ripka jewelry, a concierge service and an athlete insurance company. She's currently looking for sponsors for the Oct. 31 event.
"This is a company's chance to reach a high-profile demographic in an intimate setting," said Tia, who is now pregnant with the couple's first child.
Robbins admits it's getting harder and harder to fight the public perception that all athletes cheat.
"I get it all the time," said Robbins, who dated Fred for nine years before they got married. "Everyone's situation is different and there are a lot of athletes that are fully committed and have great relationships."
Besides hosting events, Off the Market also sets up dinners for athlete couples and eventually hopes to branch out into the couples retreat business.

Compare and contrast the following real things that really happened, and tell me what the difference is between them:
Which one of these is the odd one out?
There is no odd one out, all of them are bugfuck insane.
The common thread between them is a political position so blinded by hatred that it sees every single action of the "other side" as an evil conspiracy, and a contrariness so ingrained that you've started to define your position as "the opposite of the other guy".
Look, I'm not a fan of National. I didn't vote for them, I don't want them in government, I think they're selling us out on a grand scale for short term gain and I think the Prime Minister is probably a slimeball.
There's a lot of stupid shit going on in the world. In the United States, women are having to re-fight a battle over their own bodies that was won and over in the 60s. Caused by the dying convulsions of a conservative movement that's being demographically wiped out through aging populations, immigration, and education.
Women's choices are being restricted all over the place. So when the fuck did offering more choice to women become evil?
Eugenics has a horrid, ugly history. Every once in a while it rears its head. In developed and undeveloped countries.
Do you know what the difference is between offering contraception; and coercing or forcing sterilization?
Fucking everything.
Some people are saying that the policy is deliberately targeting the poor. They're not wrong, and admittedly that could sound suspicious if you choose to ignore the fact that that's what benefits are for. Benefits are for the people who otherwise couldn't afford them.
I can't believe I have to do this, but I beg you to have the intellectual honesty to think it through: It would be great if our healthcare provided free, fully-paid for contraception to everybody. Sounds great, but let's say it's too expensive, and you can only offer it to some people. Do you offer it to the people who could afford it anyway, or the people who otherwise couldn't? Does that mean you're targeting them? Yes! You are! Because they're poor! That's the point.
One more time, very slowly: there is no world in which giving women more control and choice over their bodies is a bad thing. If you want to fight, fight the parts that are reducing choices, like the punitive measures against women if they don't go back to work while their baby is still completely helpless. Fight that stuff. Fight for choice, not against it.
Oh crap, what's happened? It's unusual enough for Ngaira to message me, something horrific must have happened.
(For some reason my first guess was that someone must have been arrested, I wonder if that is a reflection of myself, or of Ngaira…)
Wow! That's terrible! But… what on earth were they doing in Manila instead of Christchurch? When could they have snuck off for that little trip?
Also, since Ngaira would probably claw her own eyes out sooner than write "at the gunpoint", the credibility of this story is really starting to plummet.
At this point, I call Ngaira's cellphone, and it gets answered by her husband, who informs me that she's out in the back gardening. So irresponsible, he clearly needs to keep better track of his wife.
Now I'm trying to work out exactly what the angle is. Where does the money pitch come in?
…and this is the point where The Real Ngaira hits the 'disable account button', so sadly I was never to know where to send the money.
This is the first time I've seen this kind of scam, but not the first time I've seen someone's Facebook chat taken over. If you get surprising messages like this, I highly recommend you make sure your friends pass a Turing Test of some kind before you continue. Ask them something that the real person would know (and not something that's easily gleaned from Facebook or email since they probably have access).
The scammer in this case was obviously a real person, and even had good English skills, but it was clearly a second language. Good spelling but bad word choices.
Facebook obviously sees this sort of thing a lot, and has a very clear procedure when someone hacks an account for a money scam.
What I'm most interested in is how the account was hijacked. Maybe a compromised computer, or an easily guessed password.
Pro tips:
Finally, if you live in Christchurch, especially out in the outer ghettos like Westmorland, watch out for Filipino gangsters!
I just took the Depression Screening Test at PsychCentral. The simple quiz is intended to measure your tendency for depression, and recommends that in the event of a high score or a dramatic change in score, that you seek help from a mental health professional.
It's a simple test, you rate yourself against statements such as:
However, I re-worded all the questions to replace the personal pronouns with collective ones. So I was answering "We do things slowly", "Our future seems hopeless", "We have difficulty making decisions" and "We feel fatigued".
Well, the results are in, and I'm afraid we score about 68 on the depressive scale:
Based upon your responses to this depression quiz, you appear to be suffering from a severe depression. People who have answered similarly to you typically qualify for a diagnosis of major depression and have sought professional treatment for this disorder.
You should not take this as a diagnosis of any sort, or a recommendation for treatment. However, it would be advisable and likely beneficial for you to seek further diagnosis from a trained mental health professional immediately.
I've checked the numbers. Seems legit. Don't feel bad, at least now we know.
(not a cry for help, just an amusing reflection of my cynical take on the current state of humanity)
Okay, just to recap for those with better things to do: New Zealand elected its first profoundly deaf minister of parliament. Mojo Mathers. Profoundly deaf means that seriously, nothing is going to get through, hearing aids won't cut it. She is a member of the Green Party, who aren't exactly flush with cash. Being in a minor party is actually a position of some power and influence in New Zealand (unlike fundamentally broken and corrupt two-party systems), but it's still no cakewalk.
The controversy has come from the government's refusal to accommodate her disability in the debating chamber. They have refused to finance the cost of either note-takers or live closed-captioning, and have told her that her party will have to pay the expense out of their own 'allowance'. The cost of which would apparently consume roughly 100% of that budget.
Yadda yadda etc etc. I'm not the news. Look it up for more details.
I just have one thought on this I'd like to share. The government seem to have their priorities exactly backwards on this. It's not in Mojo's best interest that she be able to hear the whining, tedious drivel that goes on in parliament day after day. It's theirs.
Mojo can communicate just fine. I assume she's perfectly fluent in written word and sign language, and in fact can speak extraordinarily eloquently for someone who has never in her life heard a human voice. I was stunned when I heard her give her maiden speech. She must have spent, well, her whole life, working on her speaking to get to that point.
So: She's fine. She can communicate her message to the whole country elegantly and clearly, not to mention sympathetically. How are the other members of parliament going to convince her to vote their way when they need her vote? That's the point of the debating chamber, after all, convince your opponents of your argument. In her case, I guess they're just going to have to send her an email.

Cleffa is one of the weakest Pokémon in Little Cup due to its generally mediocre stats. It's rather unfortunate, too, considering that Cleffa has an absolutely amazing movepool. Even a movepool as vast as Cleffa's can't overcome its many flaws, the most notable of which is the fact that it is KOed by just about every attack in Little Cup. Cleffa does have access to the exclusive Magic Guard ability, which makes Cleffa immune to all forms of indirect damage and gives Cleffa a certain niche: an annoying Endeavor user. In general, however, steer clear from Cleffa unless you want to try something daring but new.
This set takes advantage of Cleffa's poor base stats in order to take down at least one Pokemon with it. Cleffa's Magic Guard makes sure that it isn't affected by indirect damage from the likes of Stealth Rock, which allows Cleffa to keep its Focus Sash intact. Endeavor should be used on the first turn since with Cleffa's incredibly low Speed and defenses, it will likely be smashed down right off the bat. By then, Cleffa's Focus Sash will activate, and the opponent will be left with 1 HP, which is enough for it to be KOed by residual damage from hail or sandstorm. Protect allows Cleffa to scout for potential counters, such as Trick users, and also to anticipate what move the opponent is using when Cleffa has no use left after using Endeavor. Both Toxic and Thunder Wave are helpful for crippling Pokemon that are immune to Endeavor, hail, and/or sandstorm, such as Gastly, Swinub, and Diglett. Lastly, Encore can prevent opponents, such as Substitute and stat boosting users, from setting up on Cleffa. By doing this, Cleffa has another chance to KO the switch-in with Endeavor.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Cleffa has a great amount of other options, but sadly it can't make good use of them due to its pathetic Speed. Trick can be used to steal the opponent's item after Focus Sash has been used, but Cleffa will usually die before pulling it off. Wish has the same problem, but it can be a rewarding option if there's time. With base 45 Special Attack, Cleffa could use special attacks such as Shadow Ball, Flamethrower, and Icy Wind, but it's better off destroying foes with Endeavor. Thunder Wave in conjunction with Swagger or Sweet Kiss can be annoying, and could even allow Cleffa to use Endeavor again. Lastly, if you're lucky enough, Sing can put a foe to sleep.
Checks and Counters
Ghost-types such as Gastly and Drifloon are the best counters to this set as they are not affected by Endeavor. They can also use Substitute to block Cleffa's status moves and then attack, but they must beware of Encore. Oran Berry users are also major problems for Cleffa as the item activates before hail's damage takes effect, which allows the users to KO Cleffa afterward. Other "counters" are generally less effective as they will have their HP lowered to 1, but otherwise it's a step forward to defeating Cleffa. Pokemon immune to hail, such as Snover and Swinub, are decent counters to Cleffa. Likewise, Pokemon immune to sandstorm can counter Cleffa, but to a lesser degree as most Cleffa users utilize Snover instead of Hippopotas. If you lack any of the mentioned counters, then the best option is to sacrifice your current Pokemon to take down Cleffa's Focus Sash and KO it with another Pokemon.

Addison >Beauty > Jessica Myers Hair Design in Dallas
Call for appointment
Great service! – I love getting my hair cut by Jessica. I have been there a few times and always know that she has my look in her best interest. I trusted her so much and she gave me bangs-that I love. She is professional and fun!
Best Hair Stylist! – After reading all of the reviews on here and after many hair color disasters, I decided to book a free color consultation with Jessica. We got the chance to talk about my desire to change my blonde hair to a dark brown and when I left I was super excited to make an actual appointment...
First off, Jessica's salon in Addison is SO cute. She is friendly, bubbly, funny & most importantly she makes you feel comfortable. I was definitely nervous for my big change...going from bleached blonde hair to a rich chocolate brown especially after many hair mess ups by other "reputable" hair stylists in the Dallas area but she assured me the color would turn out beautifully. Oh, and she LISTENS to your every request and genuinely cares about your wants & needs.
I trusted her & the final result was stunning! It was perfect! The cut was great as well. Her prices are so reasonable for the quality & time she gives. I adore her and am so glad I've finally found a phenomenal stylist I can go back to! She is truly an amazing person & is amazing at what she does :-) If everyone went to Jessica, there wouldn't be any more horrific hair disasters! You won't be disappointed.
Best Color and Service in Dallas – I've now been to see Jessica twice and both times I left feeling beautiful and so happy with my color and cut. It has taken me a long time and many hair color disasters to finally find someone who really knows what they are doing. Jessica has a great personality and really listens to your needs. I drive from the other side of town to see her, and I would drive even further if need be. Thank you Jessica!
I <3 Jessica and my lovely brazilian blowout!!!!! – If you live anywhere remotely close to Dallas, make the drive to go see Jessica! She truely is awesome! I've followed her from her Addison location to her new super-convienient location in Dallas at Preson & Forrest. Jessica has cut & colored my hair, and I've never been happier!
Most recently she did the BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT, and it made my hair look absolutely fabulous! The process doesn't take too long, and it makes your hair silky-shiney and healthy (without the use of harsh chemicals!). Cuts your styling time in half, if not more!!!! My curly "nappy" textured hair is now board straight and soft w/o the use of a flat iron, need I say more?!
As always, I'm thrilled with the work that Jessica has done. She is a real pro, and is always on the cutting edge of what's new! Thanks so much Jessica!!
Love my haircut! – Melissa is great, she pays attention to detail to make sure that your hair looks its best and I'll definitely be coming back here!
I finally found a hairdresser I can trust!!! – My hairdresser, MELISSA JONES is amazing!!! I have been to MANY hairdressers in my time and having moved from NYC to Dallas, it was hard to find one that I can trust. Melissa knows what she is doing. She took her time with me and listened to exactly what I wanted my hair to look like. I have really thick hair that I wear both curly and straight, so she gave me a cut that works with both looks. She took her time with me (which I really appreciated) and made sure I left happy. Not only that, but she was so fun to talk to and gave me great hair styling tips. I will definitely be going back to her again and again!!!
fun environment, amazing hair – I had a great experience getting my hair done by melissa! The environment was fun and relaxed, and my cut and color turned out GREAT! I would recommend Jessica Myers Hair Design to anyone!
Great Experience and Great Hair!!! – As usual, I never know what I want in a hair cut. I totally gave Melissa the go ahead to flex her artistic style and I am very glad that I did. She really understood my hair and made sure that it was easy for me to maintain on a daily basis. She even gave me styling tips and suggestions so that I would have different ideas for all occasions. Her knowledge and skill will keep me coming back! Thanks for a wonderful experience and an amazing hair cut!
Awesome layering and highlights! – I just moved to Dallas from DC last month and desperately needed a cut and highlight touch up before the holidays. Made an appt with Jessica and am so glad I did. She did an awesome job on my layered cut and highlights. I am very picky about my hair, but she exceeded my expectations. I think she even did a better job than my old stylist in DC. Anyway, she knows what she is doing, she's great!
Loved my hair!! – I totally enjoyed my haircut done by Melissa. To be honest, I have been looking for someone who can cut my hair as good as my hairstylist in NY. Now, I don't have to look any further. Melissa is the one!!! She takes her time with your haircut and she makes sure you are comfortable and relaxed. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and made me feel "at home" while getting my hair done. You won't be disappointed!!

Cusquena innovates the Peruvian market by launching its new beer brand Premium
23 January 2009
Backus introduces its wheat beer made in Peru: Cusqueña DE TRIGO
- Cusqueña DE TRIGO's fresh and natural taste stands out. This is due to the use of Andrews' wheat and because it is lightly filtered, which preserves the wheat's natural taste and colour.
- Cusqueña DE TRIGO is launched as a limited edition
Lima, January 21, 2009.- Backus begins 2009 by marketing a Peruvian beer made of wheat, Cusquena DE TRIGO - Limited edition, a new choice in Backus' premium brands with a natural and refreshing taste. This demonstrates Backus leadership and constant innovations once again.
"As part of their constant innovation policy, Backus is always focused on the consumer, trying to identify new opportunities in the beverage market. This international quality premium beer is perfect for those special events when consumers seek to enjoy only the best, which is a reflection on their good taste", said Alvaro Ramos, Backus Worthmore Brand Director.
He also added that through Cusqueña DE TRIGO Backus seeks to strengthen its brand marketing strategies by launching unique products that add value to the categories they belong to. "Cusqueña has once again demonstrated to be cutting edge by offering Peruvians a new variety of limited edition premium beer, which is geared to demanding customers who want to enjoy their time and who can distinguished when a product is unique and of high quality".
Cusqueña DE TRIGO's fresh and natural taste stands out. This is due to the use of Andrews' wheat and because it is lightly filtered, which preserves the wheat's natural taste and colour and makes it a great meal complement and a refreshing drink.
Alvaro Ramos mentioned that Cusqueña DE TRIGO targets men and women between the ages of 25 and 45 who belong to the A, B or C social class, live in the main cities and are looking for new choices of alcoholic beverages. With this goal in mind, Cusqueña DE TRIGO will retail in many of the capital department stores, supermarkets, convenience stores, liquor stores, restaurants and bars. They will also distribute this product in cities such as Arequipa, Tacna, Cusco, Piura, Trujillo, Chiclayo and Huancayo.
Backus executive also mentioned that Cusqueña DE TRIGO launching is the result of a long process of market research. "As part of the development of premium brands, Cusqueña identified high levels of interest on new types of beer. This gave us a reason to launch a new product with unique characteristics in order to broaden our consumer market by offering new varieties.
Cusqueña DE TRIGO is available in two presentations: 330 ml and 620 ml already popular 12-angle stone carving bottles and a retailing at: S/. 3.00 and S/. 4.00 respectively.
Cusqueña DE TRIGO's launching will be largely publicized both locally and abroad. Free tasting samples will be offered to consumers in order to verify its refreshing flavour. All this will generate new market opportunities, increase the number of potential costumers and consolidate the brand's importance to current consumers.
"Through the launching of this product, Backus shows that it remains standing by Peruvian market through their brand Cusqueña, which has increased its volume of sales by more than 50% over the last year and now represents close to 11% of the national market", stated the executive.

NEW DELHI—India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has reshuffled his Cabinet in a bid to overhaul his government's image ahead of state and national elections over the next 18 months.
Seven new ministers and several junior ministers took the oath of office Sunday at a brief ceremony to mark the changes aimed at bringing in younger faces into the Cabinet.
The long-awaited Cabinet changes gained urgency after the Congress Party-led coalition government was hit by a wave of corruption scandals. The revamp also filled several vacancies after a key ally opposed to recent economic reforms quit the coalition.
However, Rahul Gandhi, seen as a prime minister-in-waiting, was not part of the new Cabinet. Congress party leaders said he would concentrate on reviving the fortunes of the party before national elections in 2014.

Doris joined the fledgling Krisam Group in 1978 as a salesperson in the hotel marketing firm's New York office. At that time, Krisam represented about 28 hotels. Flash forward to June 2010 and the company is celebrating its 35th anniversary with a portfolio of 240 properties and a partner company, destination management consortium Global Events Partners, which it launched in 1999.
Unlike hospitality industry professionals who jump from employer to employer, Doris stayed with Krisam for the rest of her career, running the Chicago office, becoming a vice president, and maintaining her specialization in the insurance meetings market. She announced her semi-retirement this spring.
I can think of no one who knows better how to survive and thrive in changing times, so I recently asked Doris for her perspective on the state of the industry. Her thoughts:
The site-selection process is slower. When Doris began her career, she dealt directly with the insurance execs who made the site decisions. Today, she works with people in the meetings, procurement, or marketing departments who ultimately lead to the decision-maker, but the process is less straightforward.
Today's lengthy, complex hotel contracts? They used to be simple letters of agreement.
Rates no longer rule. "Today's sophisticated planner looks at the whole package, including food and beverage, concessions, and fees," she says.
Brands no longer rule. "Planners care more about value and experience," she says.
Hoteliers are more willing than ever to consider concessions. "I've seen a lot of economic cycles, but nothing like this before," says Doris.
Doris credits Krisam as a company that has responded to her life needs both in terms of moving up and scaling back. Within this supportive environment, she was able to hone the problem-solving skills for which she has become known. "Whenever there's a question about a hotel," says one longtime client, "I just call Doris."
We wish Doris well on the next phase of her journey.

Fabio the celebrity chef has a photo of Fabio the supermodel on his phone.
Of course he does.
"He's one of my dearest friends in the United States," Fabio Viviani enthused about the famously beef-cakey Fabio Lanzoni while seated at the main bar of Siena Tavern while cooks behind the counter slid a succession of rolled-out dough into a large gas-powered pizza oven.
It was 10 days before the 34-year-old former "Top Chef" Fan Favorite's first Chicago restaurant would open (which it did on Saturday), and the 10,000-square-foot River North space at 51 W. Kinzie St. was bustling as servers prepared for a mock service while cooks tested out dishes. The Florence-born Viviani had been at Siena Tavern since early that morning, finally getting the pizza dough where he wanted it, but now he was scrolling through pictures on his phone, pointing out a shot of his grandpa before finding one of the long-haired supermodel beside his own scruffy-bear self on the set of his Yahoo online show "Chow Ciao!"
"We met at a party: 'Fabio'… 'Fabio,'" Viviani recalled in his enthusiastic Italian cadences. "He's on TV, I'm on TV, so this is really unusual. And he was like, 'I guess I'm not the only Fabio anymore in the United States.' I told him, 'Thanks to me, your name got a new lease on life.'"
Viviani laughed at the suggestion that the pre-existence of another famous Fabio could mess with his own branding efforts — in that anyone who knows Viviani from Bravo's "Top Chef" or his subsequent TV projects thinks of him as Fabio — but the notion of branding is no joke to the Italian chef, whose website includes separate biographies for him as "The Chef" and "The Personality."
The Personality one is longer and ends thusly:
"Fabio is building something that according to him will be 'the most honest, straight forward, people oriented brand in the USA. I wont seek to sell a product, all I want to do is for people to have an option to be able to associate themself with someone that will actually enhance their life and point them in a better direction.'"
The English may be a bit broken — Viviani didn't even speak the language when he moved from Italy to California in late 2005 — but then again it sounds authentically like him and not some slick PR prose. And the chef knows people are drawn to the Personality side of the equation.
"That's what people want to hear," Viviani said. "Sometimes I get hired to do keynote speaking about building a brand and marketing and corporate (business). It's OK. I can talk about it. All I say is the truth; it's what happened to me. If they want to pay me to hear it, hey…"
The Personality, mind you, is a big, friendly one, in person as well as on television. On a cooking-competition show where the kitchen can get a bit heated, Viviani came across as everyone's best friend, never claiming to be the most innovative chef but serving up dishes delectable enough to land him in fourth place on Season 5 of "Top Chef" (2008-09).
His Fan Favorite stature earned him an invitation to participate in "Top Chef: All Stars" two years later as well as to co-star in Bravo's "Life After Top Chef" last fall. He also appeared in ads for Domino's Pizza, launched "Chow Ciao!" (which shows Viviani demonstrating how to make such items as Easy Minestrone, Fabio's Hot Wings and Grandma's Meatloaf in less than 10 minutes), and he said he will begin shooting two family-friendly, food-related shows for networks other than Bravo later this year.
At the same time, Viviani is conscious that it's the Chef side of him that must thrive if he wants his restaurants to do the same.
"If you're coming to the restaurant because you saw me on 'Top Chef,' 'cause you hear the accent, 'cause your mom told you it's a great food, 'cause your girlfriend wants to go — it doesn't matter why you're coming," he said. "My duty is not to keep being on TV. My duty is to keep treating you well, so you're coming back even if TV is not around."
Viviani, who grew up an only child to financially challenged teenage parents, had opened multiple eateries in Florence before moving to the U.S., and he currently operates two restaurants in the Los Angeles area as well as a food-service consulting group. For his Chicago venture he is partnering with Lucas Stoioff and David Rekhson of the local DineAmic Group, which oversees the popular River North gathering spots Public House and Bull & Bear.
Viviani had already been a frequent visitor to Chicago, consulting with the north suburban-based Terlato Wines and dating a woman who lives in the Barrington area. He said he and his girlfriend were so impressed by Public House that he asked who owned it and was directed to two guys sitting in a booth. Soon they were sharing beers and, eventually, collaborating on Stoioff and Rekhson's already-in-the-works plan to open an Italian restaurant in River North.
"I feel like we've known each other forever," Viviani said. "They're good guys; we get to hang out with our girlfriends, movies. ... It's like regular human being stuff, not restaurateur stuff."
Now Viviani has essentially become a DineAmic partner for future projects being planned for Chicago, Miami and elsewhere.
"When you meet good people, you don't let them go away," Rekhson, 32, said.
Especially when such good people insist on dragging you to Italy for a two-week trip to explore the cuisine. They visited Fabio's parents and ate his mom's dishes, several of which wound up on the new restaurant's menu. They also enjoyed a memorable tavern meal in the Tuscan city of Siena.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Views: 26
Okay, that made me laugh.
Donny, the "who" part of this just isn't important. I'm not trying to shame him/her, I'm calling attention to the fact that if we want media coverage of this sport, we had better support pros that display character off the course, as well as ability on it. Then again, there's always the possibility that I don't know what I'm talking about...
Well, not really. Local courses and events include those located in KY, Al, Ga, NC, and Mississippi. Also, there isn't any mention in my post about which weekend. The larger point is that we need more coverage of our events, and if you treat the press badly, they will simply not provide coverage. I'd like to see more pros chiming in on these forums. Without the internet, the rapid growth of this sport may not have happened. I'm constantly surprised by how poorly certain disc manufacturers use social media. Throwing something up on F/B once a day isn't making good use of the medium.
I may just be feeling charitable because I shot a great round yesterday. Threw the drive of my life. That's just fun.
good post. but I have learned that contempt prior to investigation can often lead to bad results.
I have no clue, nor care to, know who this touring pro was/is as I am often "star-struck" by the big names in the sport.
I'm just a goober like that.
however.. if it tis true... then yeah, say the name and be done with it.
the few pro's Ive had the pleasure of meeting have all been nothing but gracious, although I have heard stories.
but alas.. we are all human.
Eric, It's my fault for not being more clear about what I meant about being star-struck. Though I grew up in Los Angeles and met my share of stars, (one of my favorite moments was getting a conversation with Muhammed Ali) I do still experience a bit of a thrill meeting celebrities. But I noticed that people often tend to forgive rudeness or out-right dickishness (spell checker HATED that word) merely because the person in question has some particular talent. In this case, the TD's made a lot of excuses for him, and I find that ridiculous.
Anyway, I think it's cool that you love this sport's champions. And yes, we are all human, and I believe I've been told on numerous occasions that I am not perfect. The horror. ;)

When he makes you happy in a zillion other ways, it can be tempting to convince yourself that being unsatisfied in bed really isn't that big a deal.
But we're here to tell you that hell yes, it is.
"In a relationship, you need to have that sexual component to maintain intimacy and a connection and keep the romantic chemistry going," says psychiatrist Gail Saltz, author of The Ripple Effect: How Better Sex Can Lead to a Better Life. "If your sex life is lacking, it can lead to problems outside the bedroom and create resentment, frustration, and emotional distance."
No need to panic. With a little creative problem solving, you can sync up sexually and have the kind of physical connection that's as good as the rest of the relationship.
PROBLEM 1: He Doesn't Focus on Your Orgasm
If you and your guy get along like gangbusters with your clothes on, chances are, he isn't selfish or inconsiderate. So why doesn't he seem to care about your climax? The likely explanation, according to experts, is that he's embarrassed. "Every woman is different, so it can be hard for a man to figure out exactly what works for you," explains Yvonne K. Fulbright, PhD, author of Pleasuring: The Secrets of Sexual Satisfaction. "Rather than set himself up for failure, a guy might just do nothing."
What he needs is a wake-up call that (1) makes it clear that you want to get off as much as he does and (2) gives him the info he needs. The perfect solution: "Show him what you do when you're alone," Saltz says.
Most men would kill to watch their girlfriend masturbate, so there's no reason to be shy. Start by making a V with your fingers on either side of your clitoris and slowly rub them up and down that way, he'll know not to overstimulate you immediately.
When you feel yourself becoming aroused, bring your digits together and rub your clitoris in a circular motion, using the exact combo of speed and pressure that's most likely to trigger your orgasm. (Be sure to work in any other go-to moves that help push you over the edge.) For extra credit, let him put his hand over yours.

Mitsubishi unveils 2014 Outlander crossover and 2013 Outlander Sport Limited Edition at Los Angeles Auto Show
Company commemorates 30th anniversary entering U.S. market.
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) showcases a pair of dynamic new product offerings at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show: the all-new 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander crossover and the Outlander Sport Limited Edition compact crossover that commemorates the 30th anniversary of Mitsubishi Motors entering the North American marketplace.
With its sleek new interior/exterior design direction, high-quality cabin materials, and reduced fuel consumption, the all-new 2014 Outlander is designed as an affordably-priced crossover that is an ideal vehicle for the cost-conscience automotive consumer.
Mitsubishi designers and engineers have given the 2014 Outlander a fresh new contemporary face that is both appealing and functional with reduced aerodynamic drag.
Further aiding fuel economy is a lightweight body that tips the scales approximately 200 pounds less than that of the outgoing Outlander – all while providing a high level of collision safety and structural rigidity through use of high-tensile steel.
The 2014 Outlander's new interior design emphasizes ergonomics, aesthetics, comfort and quality. From the new soft-touch instrument panel to the eye-catching gloss black center waterfall to the lovely wood grain trim, the interior of this handsome crossover exudes opulence.
Thanks to a re-engineered version of the Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control (MIVEC) system with continuously-variable valve lift, the 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine combined with a continuously-variable transmission (CVT) will deliver fuel economy that will place the all-new Outlander among the most fuel-efficient vehicles in the 7-passenger as standard in the CUV segment. The premium GT trim level will be offered with a more powerful 24-valve 3.0-liter V-6/6-speed automatic transmission configuration.
In addition to the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander's list of standard amenities, available features include a next-generation navigation system, a state-of-the-art 710-watt Rockford-Fosgate® sound system, a power tailgate activated from the driver's seat or by the keyless entry remote fob, and advanced safety systems including a camera-based Lane Departure Warning system and radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Mitigation systems as well as the latest version of Mitsubishi's extraordinary Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) all-wheel drive system.
Having revolutionized the automobile industry in the new millennia with the introduction of the 100 percent electric-powered Mitsubishi i-MiEV – the first mass-produced and affordably-priced production electric vehicle (EV) by a major automobile manufacturer – Mitsubishi Motors will soon launch a revolutionary plug-in hybrid electric version of the all-new Outlander.
Set to arrive at Mitsubishi dealerships in North America in early 2014, the Outlander PHEV will make use of highly efficient front-and rear-mounted electric motors as well as an internal-combustion engine along with a cutting-edge new form of Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) system that makes the most of the dual electric motor/internal combustion engine configuration to maximize traction, handling and vehicle stability. The all-new Outlander PHEV can operate in purely EV, Parallel and Series Hybrid mode, depending on driver mode selection, battery charge level and vehicle speed.
To commemorate Mitsubishi Motors' arrival to American shores some 30 years ago, the company has created arguably the most dynamic-looking compact crossover vehicle made available in North America today with the arrival of the 2013 Outlander Sport Limited Edition.

Defeat Diabetes

Suite 300
Madeira Beach, FL 33708
Vascular Status Predicts HypoglycemiaPosted: Tuesday, July 05, 2011
Type 2 diabetes patients with microvascular or macrovascular complications, or those taking certain monotherapies, are more likely to experience hypoglycemia and require outpatient hospital visits.
Jason C. Simeone, PhD, from the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy in Kingston, stated that, "The risk of experiencing a hypoglycemic episode was notably higher among patients on insulin monotherapy when compared with patients not taking any anti-diabetes medicine."
"Medications should be carefully chosen for patients at high risk of hypoglycemia, particularly those with microvascular or macrovascular complication, or those taking insulin, meglitinides, or sulfonylureas."
Simeone and his co-researcher, Brian J. Quilliam, PhD, also from the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy, scrutinized pharmacy and medical claims from the 2004-2008 MarketScan database, eventually identifying 11,375 cases of type 2 diabetes patients who experienced hypoglycemic events that involved a hospital visit. They compared outcomes in those patients with 68,247 controls.
All patients were over 18-years-old, had type 2 diabetes, were taking an oral antidiabetic drug at entry, and had at least 12 months enrollment in a non-capitated health plan.
After adjusting for clinical factors, the researchers found the following predictors of an outpatient visit for a hypoglycemic event:
A microvascular diabetic complication, AOR 1.78 (CI 1.68-1.89)
In addition, Simeone pointed out that women appeared at greater risk for hypoglycemia compared with men. Older patients (age 50-59) had the lowest odds of hypoglycemia compared with younger patients.
"We found that thiazolidinedione monotherapy, metformin monotherapy, and metformin plus thiazolidinedione combination therapy were protective against having hypoglycemic episodes," Simeone said.
The researchers also determined that patients who were taking medications for other comorbidities were also at increased risk of hypoglycemia. They found significant relationships between the episodes and patients taking trimethoprim, fluoroquinolones, benzodiazepines, warfarin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and fibrates.
Simeone suggested, "Physicians should monitor hypoglycemic events and educate patients with these risk factors." "Alternative medications should be chosen if available for high-risk patients."
Robert Henry, MD, president of medicine and science for the ADA, agreed with Simeone, explaining that, "We try to avoid use of sulfonylureas and secretagogues among patients at risk of hypoglycemia."
The researchers noted that there appeared to be different risks of hypoglycemic events by region, with the highest risks in the southern U.S. and west U.S., and the lowest risks in the Midwest. However, the adjusted analysis did not find that any of those differences reached statistical significance.
Simeone said he undertook the project because data on the risk of hypoglycemia among type 2 diabetes patients on oral medications is lacking even though hypoglycemia is a well-recognized problem in patients with type 1 diabetes, and insulin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes, he said.
Practice Pearls
Explain that type 2 diabetes patients had higher odds of needing outpatient care for hypoglycemia if they had micro- or macrovascular complications or were taking insulin.
Point out that the study used the 2004-2008 MarketScan database of pharmacy and medical claims.

NASA's twin robot geologists, the Mars Exploration Rovers, launched
toward Mars on June 10 and July 7, 2003, in search of answers about the history of water on Mars. They are scheduled to arrive on Mars January 3 and January 24 PST (January 4 and January 25 UTC).
The Mars Exploration Rover mission is part of NASA's Mars Exploration
Program, a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the red planet.
Primary among the mission's scientific goals is to search for and
characterize a wide range of rocks and soils that hold clues to past
water activity on Mars. The spacecraft are targeted to sites on opposite sides of Mars that appear to
have been affected by liquid water in the past. The landing sites are at Gusev Crater, a possible former lake in a giant impact crater, and Meridiani Planum, where mineral deposits (hematite) suggest Mars had a wet past.
After the airbag-protected landing craft settle onto the surface and
open, the rovers will roll out to take panoramic images. These will give
scientists the information they need to select promising geological targets
that will tell part of the story of water in Mars' past. Then, the rovers will
drive to those locations to perform on-site scientific investigations over the
course of their 90-day mission.
These are the primary science instruments to be carried by the rovers:
A goal for the rover is to drive up to 40 meters
(about 44 yards) in a single day, for a total of up to one 1
kilometer (about three-quarters of a mile).
Moving from place to place, the rovers will perform on-site geological
investigations. Each rover is sort of the
mechanical equivalent of a geologist walking the surface of Mars. The
mast-mounted cameras are mounted 1.5 meters(5 feet) high
and will provide 360-degree, stereoscopic, humanlike views of the
terrain. The robotic arm will be capable of movement in much the same
way as a human arm with an elbow and wrist, and will place instruments directly up against rock
and soil targets of interest. In the mechanical "fist" of the
arm is a microscopic camera that will serve the same purpose as a
geologist's handheld magnifying lens. The Rock Abrasion Tool serves the purpose of
a geologist's rock hammer to expose the insides of rocks.
