Google and Apple Battle It Out Over Music Services
Google Music
As Apple work on their next version of iTunes, it looks as though Google could be about to launch their own music service; Google Music.
A recent Chinese language Google page (screenshot above, or you can check out the page HERE), appears to offer Google users streaming or regular downloading capabilities, and looks to be a prototype of a cloud based rival to iTunes. An article from the Wall Street Journal suggests that Google plan to launch the service in 2010, with a subscription version to be added in 2011.
Rumours of a Google music service have been around for nearly a year now, but for the first time it actually look as though Google is competing in this market; trying to beat Apple to the punch for a dedicated streaming music service, as Apple announced it would be previewing iTunes' own streaming service later this year (initial reports suggest September).
It seems as though the ongoing battle between the two giants is far from slowing down, after the first bout when Google launched Android to rival Apple's hugely popular iPhone. Google aren't backing off the way Apple have been doing things either, with reports that Google Music will offer music syncing with the Android, meaning Google Music will likely ship with Android 3.0 Gingerbread (set for release later this year).
So with Google Music and a streaming version of iTunes both set to be released before Christmas, the Google vs. Apple war looks set to become even more interesting in the next 6-12 months.
Google vs. Bing
Microsoft aren't letting this pass them by however, after they added an entertainment vertical to the Bing search engine towards the end of last month. It allows you to play music streamed from Zune, get details on upcoming tours, find lyrics and displays buy now links within the results for any song, album or artist.
Adding this to their search engine was an attempt to better position themselves as an entertainment search and discovery tool, taking on Google at their own game. While Google also allow for have links to stream music within their search results, Bing offer a more complete service with additional links and information.
So while Google have been busy worrying about Apple, Microsoft have been launching services designed to improve on those already offered by their main search rivals.
Who do you think will be the most popular online source for full-track streaming, downloading and additional music resources? Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts.

PCSSD holds meeting to discuss personnel matter concerning McGill
An emergency boarding meeting was held Thursday night over confidential documents leaked to the NAACP.
These documents are the result of an investigation into allegations Acting Superintendent Robert McGill made racial comments. Board members were under confidentiality when they were interviewed. The conclusion by Lassiter & Couch Law Firm reads, "We have interviewed the four witnesses." It goes on, "We find that Mr. McGill did not make a racially insensitive remark."
This led to a controversy with the Pulaski County Special School District board. President of the PCSSD board Tim Clark says, ""Until we make the right decisions, clean the board up or out, which ever way it is. It starts with us until we are on the right path, the school district will never be on the right path."
The meeting is a direct result of NAACP chairman, Rizelle Aaron alleging he received the confidential documents anonymously on a school district thumb drive. Others believe someone on the board leaked the information, a violation of the law and board policy.
Board member Gary Gililland explains, "I just want to find out and do an effort and make this known. That way if we do find who did it, then the employees can then act upon their behalf. It wouldn't be our responsibility to file a civil suit against them on their behalf."
In a vote of 4 to 3, board members moved to start an investigation. Others worry about the cost and say it's a civil matter and not grounds to remove a board member.
The meeting only lasted 30-minutes; the end result, the majority of board members voted to begin an investigation. However, no one discussed who would do it or how much it will cost.
Vice-President of the board Charlie Wood says, "It probably won't mean much more money. It will mean something official is being done and the attorney may come back to us with more recommendations about a next step. I hope we find who gave the information to Mr. Aaron."
Aaron insists he doesn't know who leaked the documents, "This is a waste of time and money because the only way to determine who that person is, is by that person identifying themselves and that's not going to happen."
Several employees named in the confidential documents are seeking legal council, which could mean a lawsuit.
This week, McGill accepted a job as superintendent of Academics Plus Charter School in Maumelle.

i have lived and traveled and worked all over the world, and expereinced education in all those places. i have never, ever seen anything like i have seen in the pulaski county special school district. it is a time warp to the pre-civil rights 1950's, but reversed. It's like the sequel that is based primarily on revenge. I had hoped that in the year 2010 we could have moved past this with the rest of the world. but for some reason this place cant seem to get out of the swamp of divided racism, on either side. and it only sees two races usually! there really are no words that anyone who has traveled or been really educated can use to describe it, other than a tragedy.

The board voted 4-3 to investigate. Just start with the 3 who voted against it.

So if I wanted to right a false-fake-lie about a white official and send it to the NAACP, they will raise a big media stink with out one shred of evidence. Please witch hunt and find the person who did this. Mr. McGill should sue for defamation and libel, since it was put in writing. Reverse racism is killing this city.
PS. I am white middle class male. My Great Grandfather came here from Ireland where our ancestors were treated like slaves by the English. No one in my bloodline ever owned a slave, nor profited off of the trade. I need a group like the NAACP to defend my rights and stop the disfranchisement I see all around me here in the south.

During slavery in England their were nearly a million servants. Because slaves were property and had value, they were treated much better than servants, who were hardly payed, mistreated and generally worked to death. Servants were easy to replace, slaves were not. On this issue people have been sold a pig in a poke.

I disagree that today's "reverse racism" is worse than the past "white hating black" racism. After all, some horrible, HORRIBLE things were done to black folks in the name of White Supremacy. But, I will also admit that the festering, smoldering fires of racial bigotry DO exist deep within the African-American community, and it is being nurtured by the so-called leadership of that said community. The great irony is that BLACK people are hurt worse than anyone else. THEIR schools, THEIR places of business, THEIR futures are being burned to the ground by the race pimps and whores who use division and hatred for their own personal power trips. Wake up, Black America! Say NO to the Sharptons, Jacksons and Farrakhans of the world! They want to enslave you again, and make you beholden to their ways. I'm not saying to stop being black or give-up the unique aspects of your heritage and community. But, your culture and values will DIE if you let hatred rule your hearts.

Jacksonville parents and citizens need to raise the biggest possible stink to make sure they can escape PCSSD.

BJ1906, when the NAAPC first started, they FORCED black people to join them. If they wouldn't join, they would burn down their houses, etc,... And you wonder why black people are the way they are today. Because of those evil haters back in the day spread it and bred it. Most black people back then were hard-workers, honest, and not racial. Today, there is more reverse racism than their ever was regular racism!

I attended the Microsoft Innovation Days event at Le Meridien Hotel, Kochi today. Innovation Days are day-long free events filled with technical and business sessions, during which one can learn about the Microsoft technology roadmap and are introduced to upcoming technologies. Microsoft also presents Partner Programs and benefits for ISV partners.
This year the event series in India started on 16-May-2008 at Chennai and is concluding at Pune on 02-Jun-2008. Besides Cochin, Ahmedabad is the only other city to host this event. One source from Microsoft indicated that the big cities like Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi are getting 'abused' by events and the number of no-shows after signing up is increasing. That made them to choose Tier-II cities in India for such events where they are getting a very good response.
The day here started with a session by Nahas Mohammed on 'Building Rich Internet Applications Using Silverlight 2.0'. At the end of it, my colleague Jim Mangaly did a great presentation showcasing 'Lithium', a virtual vehicle gallery and showroom application developed in Silverlight. He explained how various awesome technologies in Silverlight were taken to full advantage for the development of this application. The 200 plus technology enthusiasts in town were quiet impressed with the presentation. Since our company IdentityMine is mostly focusing on US market, we are not so well known here. But the participation in events like this are slowly changing the scene.
The next session 'Building high performance .NET applications' by Harish Ranganathan focused on tips and tricks to make .NET applications perform better. He also did a demo of 'ASP.NET Dynamic Data' which is part of '.NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 Beta'. It was scary to see him build a web site to manage all the data operations (add/edit/delete) for all the tables in a database just by pointing to a LINQ to SQL data context. The wizard created website was complete with proper navigation and validation.
After a heavy and delicious lunch, there were two more interesting sessions named 'LINQ: Working with data naturally!' and 'Getting the Best from SQL Box: Performance Tuning SQL Server'.
Microsoft also announced their partner program called Innovate On for Kochi. They distributed a lot of goodies for the early birds and for the question askers.

NanoMedical Systems Receives Major Boost With $3.5M Grant
|(Nanowerk News) A grant of $3.5 million from the State of Texas will give a major boost to NanoMedical Systems Inc., an Austin company that is developing an innovative method of delivering medications through an under-the-skin device that uses nanotechnology.
|The grant will help accelerate the completion of engineering and pre-clinical testing for the device, which will allow for a controlled dose of medicine to be released into the bloodstream over many weeks or months. The device will be a safer, more reliable and less costly alternative to a long series of injections or clinical visits.
|The grant is from the states Emerging Technology Fund, created in 2005 to encourage the development and commercialization of new technologies and recruit research talent to the state. The Austin Chamber of Commerce and the Central Texas Regional Center of Innovation and Commercialization, which helps administer the Emerging Technology Fund, announced the grant today (November 17).
|The ETF grant is making a significant investment in the future of Texas and the country by supporting NanoMedical Systems, said Randy Goodall, president and CEO of the company. Our technology platform offers reliable drug dosing tailored to the individual patients needs and therefore has the potential to engender a revolutionary transformation in medicine.
|Goodall said the company represents an important milestone in Texas long-term effort to forge alliances among the state government, higher education and the private sector in order to diversify the states economy through advanced technology.
|NanoMedical Systems is a clear example of the economic benefits of the synergies of the private and public sectors, including the advanced research at our major universities and health science centers, Goodall said.
|Our company is a result of the convergence in Texas of the fields of semiconductors, micro- and nano-electromechanical systems, nano-materials and biotechnology. Our work is at the center of all these exciting developments, and we are grateful to the state for its role in helping us contribute to the new economy of Texas.
|NanoMedical Systems leases incubator space at the Austin-based computer chip consortium SEMATECH and has ties to faculty and research labs at three institutions in the University of Texas System. The companys basic technology was developed by Mauro Ferrari, a co-founder of the company who holds faculty positions at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, UT M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, UT Austin, and Rice University. Texas A&M University and its Texas Institute for Preclinical Studies will be involved in the companys work next year.
|Each small silicon chip through which the companys device will deliver medication into the bloodstream has 100,000 nanochannels, each precisely dimensioned from engineered materials to a size near that of a drug molecule. Early fabrication of the chips is being carried out at the Advanced Technology Development Facility (ATDF), the semiconductor R&D plant at the SEMATECH site, now owned and operated by SVTC Technologies LLC.
|This is a dream situation, Ferrari said. We have an opportunity to take decisive strides against cancer, working all together as a team: the company, the State of Texas, our university laboratory, and our collaborating partners at several Texas institutions. University laboratories alone cannot bring medical innovations into the clinic, they need companies that will turn basic discoveries into new medical treatments and clinical devices.
|That is why it is such a privilege to fly in formation with NMS: We can make a real difference in patient care. I am confident that the work we are doing will have benefits beyond cancer, with applications to cardiovascular and infectious diseases, among others. We will continue to explore new approaches in civilian medicine, but also in space and military medicine, with the support of the sponsors of our university laboratory research: NASA, the Department of Defense and the National Institutes of Health.
|The device being developed by NanoMedical Systems, called a Personalized Molecular Drug-delivery System, or PMDS, is a small capsule designed to be implanted just under the skin in a simple office procedure. The capsule will be able to hold enough medication for weeks or months of controlled release. As development continues the capsule will be made even smaller because it will contain mostly the active pharmaceutical agent and almost none of the bulk solution in which an injectable drug is usually dissolved.
|NanoMedical Systems is focusing on an anti-cancer drug that is used in long-term therapy for its first commercially viable product. Its R&D activities over the next year will include further design and testing of the devices chip and capsule, animal studies, and applications with the federal Food and Drug Administration. Optimizing additional drugs for controlled release in even smaller, smarter capsules will proceed in parallel with pharmaceutical partners. For its lab and assembly operations, the company will begin leasing cleanroom space from Minco Technology Labs in North Austin.
|In addition to the grant announced this week, NanoMedical Systems has benefited from earlier funding by the Emerging Technology Fund. The fund provided a $5 million grant to ATDF for nanofrabrication equipment, and a $2.5 million grant in 2006 was part of a financial package at the UT Health Science Center at Houston providing personnel and research start-up funds that were instrumental in recruiting Ferrari to Texas from Ohio State University. Ferrari, one of the founders of the field of biomedical nanotechnology, is president of the Alliance for NanoHealth, a collaborative venture involving eight Houston-area research institutions.

Spouses of US citizens who are living abroad may be sponsored for K-3 visas by their citizen spouses. Their children may be sponsored for K4 visas.
These visas shorten the time that they must remain separated from their citizen spouse/parent who is residing in the US.
Eligibility for K-3 Visas
- Married to a US Citizen
- Pending Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative)
- Approved I-129F Petition (No filing fee)
Eligibility for K-4 Visas
- Unmarried
- Under 21
- Child of a Qualified K3 Visa Applicant
- Must be listed on form I-129F
Benefits of K-3 and K-4 Visas
There are various benefits that come with a K3 visa or K4 visa. Those who hold these visas may apply to adjust status to a permanent resident at any time. In addition, they may obtain employment authorization.
K3 and K4 Visa Limitations
There are, however, some limitations that come with a K3 Visa or K4 Visa. For example, K3 or K4 visa holders can not change status to another temporary visa category. In addition, there are several instances in which a K3 visa can automatically expire after 30 days such as: denial of either form I-130 or form I-485, and a divorce or annulment with the US citizen spouse. A K4's status expires when the K3's status expires. K3 and K4 visa holders are admitted to the US for a maximum of 2 years. They may, however, apply to extend their status.

Every year, we recognize three outstanding community members from Union Park as part of the citywide Neighborhood Honor Roll Celebration. We nominate neighbors whose volunteer contributions have made significant and lasting impacts in the community.
This year Union Park District Council honors Nancy Rosenberg, Emily Hoisington, and Rachel Westermeyer:
They are holding certificates, from left: Nancy Rosenberg, Emily Hoisington, and Rachel Westermeyer. A big thanks to them, and to everyone who volunteers time and energy to enhancing our neighborhoods!
Congratulations to this year's honorees:
Emily Hoisington is an artist and resident of Union Park since 2005. She has volunteered countless hours of her time and talent working with neighborhood volunteers to create a pavement mural for the Aldine Pedestrian Bridge over Highway 94. They designed the mural by drawing continuous lines, outlining and connecting shapes and textures visible from the bridge, and painted between the lines to create a colorful puzzle-like mosaic that enlivens the bridge for pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
Rachel Westermeyer is a retired educator and community organizer who has been committed for over thirteen years to improving our community by addressing University of St. Thomas neighborhood impacts. She has co-chaired a collaborative board between University and resident representatives, hosted countless community meetings, supported zoning changes, participated in negotiations, led seminars, drafted guidance documents, testified at public hearings, presented at conferences, and more—sharing the tools necessary to empower others to continue her work.
Nancy Rosenberg's family has been selling goods at the corner of University and Snelling for over 60 years. Her father started Big Top Liquor there and she worked alongside him for 20 years until his death in 2016. As the store's managing partner, and works to support the local community by employing many local neighborhood residents, hosting community events, supporting local artists, contributing to local nonprofits, and supporting her fellow business owners through the many changes the area has seen.

The Intensive Study Programme (ISP) takes place every year with the participation of Master students and teaching staff from all the European partner Higher Education Institutions (Kiev, Lisbon, Luxembourg, Warsaw) in the framework of the Erasmus Plus programme "Strategic partnership in Information Security (ParIS)". These ISPs offer participating students the opportunity to benefit from the specific expertise of teachers and researchers from the partner institutions and also allow working together in multinational groups. At the same time, they allow teaching staff members to exchange views and put some elements of their jointly developed curriculum into practice, thus ensuring immediate student feedback.
A joint workshop at the end of the project will act as a multiplier event, allowing the project partners to present the jointly developed curriculum but also to initiate further future cooperation, in particular through joint research activities in the field of information security and in related areas.
In order to improve the employability prospects of future graduates and ensure that the newly developed curriculum meets the requirements of the labour market, partners from the private sector will also be associated, in particular through the University of Luxembourg's Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), which works in close cooperation with industrial partners, and the existing partnership programme for the Master in Information Security at the Universidade de Lisboa.

Bloomberg has a new poll out showing Barack Obama and Mitt Romney in a a dead heat.
Besides that though, there are some really interesting sub-questions from the actual survey, which can be downloaded here.
Here are some things we just learned.
The Mormon Church has higher unfavorables than Ben Bernanke.
The plurality of voters say they're better off than they were when Obama came into power.
The public does not like private equity.
9 percent of voters think housing will never recover.
People way more blame oil companies/Mideast issues for oil prices vs. Obama.

hello!! clement are you there? don't tell me it's one of those blackmoodseason.
you know, i think moods are purely biological in nature. body kind of punishing the mind for being edgy; consequently contaminating other bodies around, who in turn will punish their minds. sort of negative feedback reaction.
whatever the reason for your silence, get over it quickly.
today i read some selections from ee cummings' poetry. definitely offbeat. i enjoyed them. definitely not for the ones who believe that if you don't get sense out of a poem at the first reading, you will never get it. he demands repeated reading. he demands serious reading. the way poetry should be read.
for the time being be content with my so called boo..etry.
murder inside a circle
it was the hammer who broke the circle
and stepped in
after smashing the skull, the hammer
hung by the side.
then the others
stepped in and did what they should

hello!! clement are you there? don't tell me it's one of those blackmoodseason.
Thursday, April 25, 2002
So clement we have started salon. The stage where a perilous and an uncertain journey of conversations, biographical fragments, incidents, dreams, reviews, and other creations starts. I said perilous because of the nature of this project. A journal, which is supposed to be private, is active in the open to anybody who is interested. Expecting all the danger that will fall on a journal in the public, lets go ahead.
Posting a few poems(?). You have seen them once. Do give a small review, if possible.
A place to rest
It is time to open our ears
To the untiring heaves of the water
To the gods howling in the mountains
There should be a place for our screams
Now deflecting painfully off the tin of the city
To be comforted by
the gentle rounds of the rocks.
To be kissed and caressed
by the slow curves of the streams.
Winds, rocks and trees of the mountain
Waves, pebbles, fish and otters of the water
Are still watching us
Live our life
Among this rubble
We created called home.
Across the night sky
On seeing the light falter, signaling
The everyday fall
I ran inside my hide still warm from
The days toil
Outside the window, night has started.
Stars falling. One now
Then another like cashew apples, onto the bush
On to the hard rock
To splatter without sound
I wish, like a child to run
Open the bush
And seek the treasured nuts first
Then the unharmed apple if any
Savor the sweet sour fruit
With its gastric smell
Only a child could bear.
Soon the dreaded nights work must begin
With the woman who cook fish and
Wash dish until she drops
Next to me but never sleeps,
Her eyes dry and sighs heavy.
I must lie straight on the worn cot
Till the flies had their fill for the night
And to begin their next life
As worms wriggling under me till
The blessed dawn come down, to my
Window with its yellow skin
Which lost all its stars last night.
Dreaming inside a cubicle
When will be that day when I could
Laugh at something, which is invisible
To others. To worry none about public consensus
To look at a stone and see a friend's face
Talk to him about life. To see a flower
As the lips of my love and kiss it.
All these thoughts flashed in my mind when I
Closed my eyes within this cubicle called work.
21.11.2000 (29th b'day)
Now Chintu is dead
Now Chintu is dead
After a quarter of a century of studies
In nurseries, primary schools,
High schools, medical colleges
Clinics and hospitals.
He must have been quite tired
When life's end crashed into him
And tore his limbs
And then choked his father's good heart into silence
Now Chintu is dead,
Resting long in his family tomb
With his father, grandfather
And grandmother
Inside the largeness of his house
his mother
Is one among the shadows
Moving across the rooms
Away from the sun
Dissolving into the uncertain darkness
Of the early evening.
The moment she left her
Fishermen for cheap perfumed con men
This little heap of rubble and tar
Over the waiting swamp
Was called a city.
Wednesday, April 24, 2002
Big deal. ha, ha, ha.
Salon is a place to have conversations—where we meet to share and to search, to create and to collaborate. It is an experiment and we cannot claim to foresee where and what it will lead to; but with the hope that we may find at least something of worth along the way, we take the first steps….

Nutrition, immune functions and health
Venue: Institut Pasteur - CIS
|Event Date/Time: Jun 09, 2005
|End Date/Time: Jun 10, 2005
|Registration Date: Jun 08, 2005
|Early Registration Date: May 09, 2005
|Abstract Submission Date: Apr 18, 2005
Through advances in the understanding of the functions and regulation of the human and mouse immune system in relation to the metabolism of nutrients, important features have been delineated. Nutrition does influence the regulation of signal transduction and gene expression at different levels of the immune system, modulating immune cell functions whatever the developmental stages of the organisms under study.
During gestation and early childhood the diet is of immense importance for shaping health in later life. Nutrient deficiencies may be associated with impairment or delay of both constitutive and adaptive immune development, preferentially affecting infants and elderly people. On the other hand, nutritional interventions containing selected substrates, trace elements or vitamins have been successful in critically ill and infected patients.
The purpose of this EUROCONFERENCE on Nutrition, Immune Functions and Health is to present selected and noteworthy recent findings in the area of nutrition - dependant regulation of the immune system at the tissue level whenever relevant. Speakers will focus the attention on the potential mechanisms by which nutrients could modify the complex and dynamic status named "immunity" at different developmental stages of the life of an individual as well as the beneficial effects of immuno-enhancing diets as seen in clinical trials.

Final Fantasy XIV, what a colossal cluster fuck it has been since it launch, no excuse me that is wrong, even BEFORE its launch. I'm sure most are pretty tired of hearing about the game, and for those of you who are not, you are probably entertained by seeing just how far down this thing can go. We've seen multiple free trial extensions, but now they've even done something better. Until the game is considered "quality" it will be free to play. Hell I'm curious to see if it will be around by that time. The PS3 version has been delayed until an unknown date. After hearing all the horrible things about this game, will any PS3 owners even want the shitty low-rez version anyways? I guess we'll just have to wait until the new "quality" updates are out to see what the future holds, once it's out I am sure the 100 remaining players will enjoy the game to the fullest.

A meeting for all providers at work, required. only half of us were even working that day. 90 people lost their jobs. Apparently they can apply for one of the 100 positions open. I'm sure the unions will have something to say about it. There really was no lead up or prep. It feels like martial law, for the preservation of the company. No one is safe. Adapt of die.
Fortunately or unfortunately, I wasn't one of them. Some good people are being cut and I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering where their workload is going. Service is sure to suffer. Will my job still be there when I return?

Americans are eating less cereal, but executives at General Mills are hoping they've found a way to revive sales: They are offering customers a chance to win one of 10,000 boxes filled with nothing but Lucky Charms marshmallows.
On its website, General Mills calls marshmallow-only Lucky Charms "the unicorn of the cereal world - fantasized about, but never seen." In reality, they come with more sugar per serving than a Snickers bar or Twinkie.
It's a change in direction for the maker of Cheerios, Trix and Wheaties, which two years ago announced it would remove artificial flavors and colors from Lucky Charms marshmallows by 2017. That effort has since stalled - company scientists have yet to find natural substitutes that won't affect flavor - but Mike Siemienas, a Lucky Charms spokesman, says work is ongoing.
"It's still our biggest challenge," Siemienas said. "We'll let you know once we've found a solution."
In the meantime, customers can try their hand at winning a box filled with hundreds of marshmallows. Each six-ounce serving comes with 110 calories and 22 grams of sugar. (Regular Lucky Charms, by comparison, have the same number of calories but less than half the sugar.)
"We brought it back because it's what our fans were asking for," Siemienas said. "We're constantly getting calls, emails, tweets, you name it, from people saying, 'When are you going to put out a marshmallow-only box?' They're obviously obsessed."
The made-for-social-media campaign is the latest to capitalize on the gimmicky and, arguably, gross, according to branding experts. (Other examples: Starbucks' Unicorn Frappuccino, Jack in the Box's bacon milkshake and Burger King's burger-meets-burrito creation, Whopperito.)
"The strategy is always the same: Generating social media interest by creating something that's highly shareable just because it's outrageous," said Kelly O'Keefe, who teaches creative brand management at Virginia Commonwealth University. "Companies don't consider that a lot of those shares come from people saying, 'This is so gross,' or 'This is so weird,' and that ends up undermining the credibility of the brand."
General Mills, after all, is embracing the unhealthy with its box o' sugar bomb - at least temporarily.
The last time General Mills ran a similar promotion, in 2015, it offered just 10 marshmallow-filled boxes. The winners were chosen from a group of customers who posted photos on social media of themselves pretending to hold boxes of Lucky Charms.
This time, the company is requiring participants to purchase its cereal. Each specially-marked box of Lucky Charms will come with a code in the inside panel. Customers can type in those codes online to see if they've won.
"We know people were disappointed when we did only 10," Siemienas said. "Now their dreams of having a box full of Lucky Charms marshmallows can come true."
Nationally, cereal sales have been slipping for years - falling about 9 percent between 2012 and 2015 - as Americans buy more eggs, oatmeal and Greek yogurt. And, research has shown, millennials are less likely to pour themselves a bowl of cereal than their older counterparts because they find it "inconvenient."
In recent years, General Mills has begun putting a health-conscious spin on its cereals. Cheerios and many types of Chex, for example, are now marketed as gluten-free. Lucky Charms - which counts sugar and corn syrup among its four most prominent ingredients - is promoted on the company's site as being "made with whole grain, fortified with 12 vitamins and minerals, and a good source of calcium." Its customer base, it said in 2013, is 40 percent adults.
Siemienas said that the company isn't planning on offering marshmallow-only Lucky Charms long term.
"That's not in our plans," said Siemienas, whose breakfast of choice alternates between Lucky Charms and Honey Nut Cheerios. "The oat pieces are still very important as well."

The Myth of Separation of Church and State
I am not a Constitutional scholar (as Barry Soetoro seems to claim - ha!), and I'm not extremely well read on all of the interpretations of our Founding Documents. However, I think that I have a good general knowledge of them; as well as how and why our founding came about. Moreover, my 24 years of Bible study has helped me see that the truth of our founding is entrenched in Judeo-Christian laws, faith, and values that come directly from the Bible.
First, here is a link to the article:
Examiner.com: The Myth of Separation of Church and State.
I would like to draw your attention to the long comment posted there underneath the essay. The author of that comment seems to be saying (at least that is how I interpreted it) that a completely secular government here in the U.S. was the goal of the writers of the Constitution. However, I disagree with that and here is why.
Before the Constitution was written, The Declaration of Independence came first. The document is filled with acknowledgement of God and pointed towards the fact that England's king usurped power by inflicting governmental power over the colonies (and, thus, was taking away their God given rights) while at the same time, the powers-that-be in England tried to form one government approved certain Christian denomination over the people.
Our nation is (or was) based on Judeo-Christian values in order to preserve our freedoms, liberty, and justice. But when government becomes all too powerful, it leads to tyranny. Our freedoms, including religious freedom, are taken away. Without God's Word as a guide, our nation would not have existed (IMHO) and this "great experiment" would not have survived. Now, I'm not so sure of our survival anymore. Those who would have us become a socialist/communist/Islamo-fascist nation are intent on rejecting the very principles, morals, values, and ethics that allowed us to become great in the first place. They are getting away with corruption, deception, propaganda, and downright evil - all the things that created Nazi Germany, Leninist and Stalinist Russia, Imperial Japan, and all of the communist nations with dictators (like Mao) that have killed hundreds of millions of people.
The way I see it is that denying (or repressing) our Judeo-Christian values is having a devastatingly negative effect on our culture, government, freedoms, liberty, and the justice that used to exist here.
The current attempt to bring Muslim sharia law into our nation is proof that such a religion (more like a political jihadist "religion" of force) is detrimental to our Constitutional Republic and needs to be suppressed. Why? Because they want a caliphate - which means that their goal is to take over (by jihad) not only the U.S. but the world. Even the perpetrators of radical Islam admit that Christianity or Judaism cannot exist in their world. Even the non-religious aren't safe. Christians, Jews and secularists are all labeled as infidels and deserving of death if we don't convert to Islam. This is according to their "holy" book, the Koran.
I think that the balance of church and state can exist while not infringing upon religious beliefs that come from the Bible. False religions and dangerous cults notwithstanding, the plumb line of Scripture guided our Founders towards envisioning a Republic (as Franklin stated when created - "We have given you a Republic...if you can keep it.")
The principles that our nation was built on can only be kept by those with faith in God - and is not achievable without Him. Why? Because without the Creator and Judge of the Universe as a basis for good, anything goes and evil will flourish. Just a few of my thoughts on this issue.
Your thoughts?

My thoughts?
My first thought is that you've been sucking up David Barton again. My second thought is that you still have a weak grasp of history.
If you'll re-read the DoI, you will see "Creator", "Nature's God" and "divine Providence", but there is no mention of a Judeo-Christian God. Indeed, there is no mention of a Jewish, or Christian, or Mahometan (as Muslims were called then) God at all.
Despite your rantings about freedom, you forget that at that time, it was still widely believed that to defy a king was to defy God, since the king ruled by God's will. The USA was the first nation in history to say "to hell with that!" and let the people, and those chosen by the people, rule.
If God's Word™ really had been a guide for the nation, things would be very different today. The very idea of a republic does not exist in the bible; only dictatorships, monarchies, and the primitive socialism practiced by some early Christian sects. Women would have no place (and no life) outside the household, slavery would still be common, and anyone could be put to death for doing any sort of labor on the Sabbath (House on fire? Tough luck, dude). Fortunately, that's only your opinion, as you say...and we all know what opinions have been compared to.
You've been chanting the phrase socialist/communist/Islamo-fascist for years. I'm certain that you can't tell them from apart; you just lump them together as Things You Do Not Like, without realizing that nearly all of them are incompatible with each other.
You say Mulims "want a caliphate - which means that their goal is to take over (by jihad) not only the U.S. but the world. Even the perpetrators of radical Islam admit that Christianity or Judaism cannot exist in their world. Even the non-religious aren't safe." My observation is that radical Christianity feels the same way. Everywhere it has gone, it too has tried to stamp out the local religions and establish itself as the only one. We have talked before about the many pogroms committed against the Jews in Europe, and even today, in our 'blessed' nation, there are those who seek to convert Jews, even though the Jews know more about the Christian God than any Christian does.
Non-religious people have never been safe anywhere, at any time. The old "those who are not with us are against us" excuse is all some religious people need to harass and destroy. Both Muslim and Christian alike would gladly compete for the privilege of killing me first.

Oh GM...here we go again.
It is precisely because our nation was built on Judeo-Christian beliefs and values that other religions can freely exist here. You won't see that in Sharia law Muslim nations. Convert or die is their mantra - and chopping off the heads of "infidels" (especially Christians who won't renounce Christ) is their "final solution."

They can all be lumped together because they all lead to tyranny. Many of them work together (like the Imams with Nazi Germany in the past, and the Commie and radical Islamists sympathizers of the Zero BADministration today. However, we are now seeing the split that inevitably comes when one (Commie Russia) sides with the dictator Assad in Syria, while Ovomit sides with and funds the Muslim Brotherhood terrorists.
A similar scenario happened in Egypt, and Muslim Brotherhood Morsi was kicked out.
Just more terrible foreign policy by the puppet Obama's handlers - like Commie George Soros and Iranian jihadist Valerie Jarrett.

Religion and the Founding of the Republic

Indeed, here we go again.
Other religions can freely exist here, but that wasn't always the case. Catholic Maryland warred with Protestant (and Quaker) Pennsylvania, as well as with Anglican Virginia. In Puritan Massachusetts, Quakers got hanged; of the 13 colonies, only Rhode Island practiced anything like the religious freedom of today so precious to you. Let's not even talk about the LDS, okay? As recently as 200 years ago they didn't even exist...just like Evangelicals, come to think of it.
AFAIK, the American Indian nations had no idea what Christianity was until it was introduced to them. No one seems to have thought that they had good enough gods of their own. Only Christians and Islamics are so insecure about their beliefs that they must make the rest of the world believe as they do.
You mentioned imams working with Nazi Germany in the past. Need I remind you that both Catholic and Lutheran officials also cooperated with Hitler's regime? Not to mention Pope Pius XII, who was largely silent on Nazi activities during WWII. In 1949, however, he excommunicated every Catholic involved in any Communist organization. Fidel Castro was declared beyond the pale, but Adolf Hitler never was. Hmmm.
In any case, you asked for thoughts from your readers. Since no one else has chosen to say anything (perhaps they don't read?), I have.
All nations, great and small, seem to need myths to help them get started. The trick is to know where the myths end and the facts begin...and as a nation, I don't believe we've learned that yet.

"Catholic and Lutheran officials, and Pope Pius XII do not speak for nor represent the true church of Christianity. Those who "cooperated" with Hitler (if, indeed, your facts are correct) sinned when they did so.
Look, I was raised Roman Catholic and I saw the not-so-subtle "dislike" for the Jews. The idea that the Jews put Jesus to death is an oxymoron, because Jesus laid down his life willingly on the cross. Recall when he stated, "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they are doing."
Jesus is all about forgiveness, mercy, grace and love. However, such a gift must be received by those who truly repent of their sins and accept Him as Lord and Savior of their lives.
About the lack of commenters here. I don't know the exact reason why more don't comment. My stats show that 58 individuals have read this post. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that this terrible tyrannical (which shows a lot of similarities with Hitler's regime) government (that has sprung up and gone into overdrive under the spawn of Satan puppet - Barack Insane Obama - and the evil puppeteers who are actually doing the hard work of destroying America) is spying on the American people; thus, it causes some to resist writing down anything political or religious for fear of being targeted (like the TEA Party).
Whatever the reason, there are people who respond to my posts over at the TEA Party Community so that keeps me busy on some days where a big discussions on important topics come up.
Some people are probably working two part time jobs (because of Zero's atrocious Hellscare bill and lack of skill in allowing the small and large businesses to prosper anymore) and they don't have time to comment on blogs.
One day, this nightmare of the pResidency of the Obama puppet will come to an end. And that will be a great day for America!

CJW: "Catholic and Lutheran officials, and Pope Pius XII do not speak for nor represent the true church of Christianity. Those who "cooperated" with Hitler (if, indeed, your facts are correct) sinned when they did so."
Oooh, so who represents the 'true church of Christianity'? What standards are used to determine this? If you say "those who love and follow the Lord", then that includes people like Moses and Gideon—and they weren't even Christian!
Yes, the German Christians did cooperate with the Nazis. Some resisted; most did not. That they 'sinned' by doing so is irrelevant. According to Christian doctrine, we're all guilty of sin, just by existing.
"Look, I was raised Roman Catholic and I saw the not-so-subtle "dislike" for the Jews. The idea that the Jews put Jesus to death is an oxymoron, because Jesus laid down his life willingly on the cross. Recall when he stated, "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they are doing."
Isn't there something in the scriptures that says that the sons shall not suffer for the sins of their fathers?
Oh, wait, that's the Old Testament; the New is as much about blood and vengeance as it is about forgiveness (see Revelation).
An oxymoron is two mutually contradictory terms, like 'jumbo shrimp', or 'compassionate conservative'. Or a God who can see into the future, yet is constantly blindsided by events in the present. If Jesus was innocent of any crime yet died anyway, it was state-assisted suicide, as well as a wrongful death. But he's unlikely to come back and initiate a lawsuit.
Church-state separation is, unfortunately, a myth these days, in this country. While it is true that we have no "official" church, Protestantism has been the de facto one since at least the early 1800s. Anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic feeling has surfaced fairly often in our history. Anti-Muslim feelings are quite new to this tradition; no one seems to feel this way about Hinduism or Buddhism. But it makes little difference. Whenever and wherever gods and governments mix, no one is safe.

Board games are fun, but sometimes you have to share them with other people. Namely small children, at birthday parties and family gatherings, where they can't be avoided.
Fortunately, there's a range of board games that are just as good for adults as they are for kids. Some of them are mechanical; some of them require a bit more thinking power. Whatever takes your fancy, here's 10 games you can bust out when kids are around.

In Niagara County, summer camps must have a county department of health permit to operate legally. These permits are issued only if the camp is in compliance with county and state health regulations. The permit to operate must be displayed in a conspicuous place on the premises.
These regulations cover Staff Credentials and Supervision, Health, Safety, Swimming, Overnight and Day Trips, Sports and Activities, Fire Safety, Facilities Design & Location, Staff Training, and Nutrition.
The camp must be inspected twice yearly by a county department of health representative. At least one inspection must be made during the time the camp is in operation. Each camp is checked to make sure that the physical facilities are safe and that supervision is adequate.
The time and effort spent in selecting the camp your youngster will attend is important. Keep in touch, especially if it is your child's first camp experience. If possible, visit the camp before and during the camping season.
Regulations, Codes, and Standards affecting Children's Camps Include:

The first day of school is just around the corner, and most parents are busily making their way through a list of "to-dos": school clothes shopping, appointments for immunizations and physicals, and trips to the store for pencils, pens, paper and all the other "must-haves" for the classroom—all with the intention of getting students Ready for School.
Is a visit to the optometrist on your list? A comprehensive eye examinationfrom Kaster Eye Clinic of Green for students is one of the most important "to-dos" and yet one that is often overlooked. Without an eye exam, many children have vision problems that remain undiagnosed, and may even be misdiagnosed as a learning disorder.
The idea that children need to be ready to learn—visually—is beginning to catch the attention of legislators. Kentucky, Missouri, and Illinois have laws requiring mandatory eye examinations for children prior to entering school, and a federal bill has been introduced in the Senate that would provide funding to establish a federal grant program focusing on treatment to bolster children's vision initiatives in the states and encourage children's vision partnerships with non-profit entities. Parents can download a Word Hunt Activity Sheet and Night Vision coloring page for children.
Q: Why is it so important that children have a comprehensive eye exam prior to heading back to school?
A: One of the most important things a parent can do to help their children succeed in school is to take them for a comprehensive eye exam at Kaster Eye Clinic of Green. According to the AOA, vision screenings are not diagnostic, and therefore, typically identify only a small portion of the vision problems in children. Comprehensive eye exams are necessary to detect problems that a simple screening can miss, such as eye coordination, lazy eye, and near and farsightedness.
Q: What risks does a child who does not receive an eye exam face before entering school?
A: Millions of children will start school this year with a vision problem that may inhibit their ability to learn and ultimately affect the rest of their lives.
When vision problems have an adverse effect on learning, they are referred to as learning-related vision problems. Learning-related vision problems can affect comprehension performance in reading, writing and concentration. According to one study,approximately 60 percent of students identified as problem learners have undetected vision problems.
When parents send their children back to school, one of the most important things they can do to help ensure their child's ability to learn is to take them for an eye exam.
Q: What are some warning signs that a child might have a vision problem?
A: Parents can help identify vision problems by watching for the following warning signs:
If parents notice any of those symptoms, they should schedule an appointment for their child to see an optometrist at Kaster Eye Clinic of Green.
Q: How are behavioral problems an indication that a child's vision may be impaired?
A: According to the American Eye-Q® survey, 39 percent of parents don't realize that behavioral problems can be an indication that a child's vision is impaired. A child with undetected vision problems may get frustrated or bored in school because he or she can't see the board, the teacher or read a book easily. Therefore, students with problems seeing sometimes act out in school.
Q: Many children already receive vision screenings before they enter school. Why is a comprehensive eye exam necessary as well?
A: Most vision screenings only check to determine how well a person can see at a distance. Vision exams, however, are much more thorough. A comprehensive eye exam includes tests to determine nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, eye coordination and eye muscle function, eye focusing abilities and an overall eye health exam-which in most cases involves dilation.
Eye exams are also especially important in diagnosing eye diseases and disorders in young children. They are critical for the diagnosis and treatment of eye and vision problems that can lead to vision loss and other issues that affect a person's quality of life.
Simple screenings identify only a small portion of the vision problems in children. Screenings do not measure visual alignment, color vision or visual perception, among other important visual abilities. In reality, screenings only indicate a need for further evaluation and often miss many children with vision problems. According to the Vision in Preschoolers study, screenings, even when performed by the most highly trained screeners, miss more than one third of children who should be referred for a comprehensive eye examination.
Q: What specific things are tested during a comprehensive eye exam?
A: There are several essential elements an optometrist will check during a comprehensive eye examination to help ensure learning is maximized through good vision.
Q: How often should children receive a comprehensive eye exam?
A: The AOA recommends that a child's first eye exam take place at six months of age. Unless problems are detected, the next exam should be at age three, again before entering school and then every two years thereafter. Unfortunately, the Eye-Q® survey showed that 57 percent of children did not receive their first eye exam until age five or older.
Q: Are comprehensive eye exams expensive?
A: Comprehensive eye exams are a wise investment in your child's future. Typically, these exams are covered by insurance policies, so we encourage you to check with your medical provider.
In addition, the AOA has relationships with organizations like the Lions Club and special AOA programs such as VISION USA, which offer exams and care at discounted rates and some programs, such as InfantSEE®, provide care at no cost for the patient.
Q: How many children have undetected vision problems?
A: According to the AOA, one in four kids has a vision problem. However, most parents weren't aware of the number of children with vision problems. In fact, 87 percent of Eye-Q® survey respondents didn't know how many children have undetected vision problems.

Pregnancy Symptoms Care with Therapeutic Massage
Prenatal massage relaxes tense muscles, eases sore spots, improves circulation and mobility and promotes boding between the mother and baby. Carrying a baby changes your center of gravity and puts added stress on your back, neck, abdominal muscles, and shoulders. Pregnancy also relaxes your ligaments, so that your pelvic joints are less stable, and changes your posture, pulling your pelvis forward. Prenatal massage at Isthmus is tailored specifically to your individual needs and our specially trained massage therapists adjust their techniques accordingly.
Prenatal massage is recommended from 13-weeks through delivery and at six weeks post-partum
Pregnancy Maya Therapy is recommended from 13-weeks through delivery
