Welcome to PAFNCDs
Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) like heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity are the number one killer in the Americas region and threaten socio-economic development, but there are cost effective solutions, which require everyone to work together with a comprehensive approach, that calls for action and interventions in and out of the health sector. PAHO's Member States have mandated a multistakeholder, collaborative, "whole of government and whole of society" approach to fight Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) consistent with the global commitments made at the United Nations High Level Meeting on NCDs (UNHLM) in 2011. The Pan American Forum for Action on NCDs (PAFNCD) was established by PAHO as an open platform to help address the NCD epidemic in the Americas, promote, and contribute to the implementation of the PAHO Regional Strategy for the prevention and control of NCDs. The Forum mobilizes partners to dialogue and catalyze innovative ways of fostering health at all levels, reducing the growing costs associated with NCDs, and saving lives.

My sister, as a child, learned to play the Violin. At first, this was an awful noise where even the cat would bolt out of the house straight into a torrential rainstorm rather than being within earshot. It soon developed however into a nice balanced tone, at times. I wondered whether I could do the same and started learning to play the recorder. Not a good idea. We shall say no more. My sister however, went on to play in the school band. Each member of the band had gone through the same learning process with their particular "weapon" of choice. The task of the music teacher was to bring all of this together in time for an end of year recital. Even though I was not so cynical in those days, it seemed unlikely. Some weeks later, on the day of the recital, it was a transformation. There was music being played that I actually recognized. The timing of all of the instruments as melodies passed from instrument to instrument, the synchronised attack and decay of the sounds and the feelings created from the textures of combined sounds. What was the key factor here that made the difference, had the musicians suddenly made huge progress? Actually, in isolation, the band members, though clearly improved, sounded pretty much like they did before. The difference was the conductor. At a simple level the conductor makes sure that everything came together according to the written music. At a higher level, the conductor guides the minute timing and inflection, the precision and balance that allow the full depth and emotion of the music to be communicated.
I have noticed the exact same process in manufacturing. Individual production processes replace the musical instruments. The written music is the schedule made up of sequenced work-orders, being the link between all of the processes. Where is the conductor? Who is orchestrating this operation?
When putting together a series of webinars to describe the technologies behind the Valor MSS suite, I soon came to the realization that the way that work-orders are utilised is critical to the harmony of the operation. At a simple level, the work-orders define what has to be done in order to manufacture and assemble a product. In many operations, this is as far as it goes. If the aspiration of a PCB-A operation is only to continue to rely on people communicating perfectly spending plenty of effort to solve issues as they appear and get serious, then perhaps the simple use of work-orders is enough.
The advanced use of work-orders however provides substantial opportunities. The specific product – process definition of parameters, procedures, documentation are some examples that contribute to management for compliance and conformance. Assurance of correct operation, visibility of bottlenecks, management of required tasks and co-ordination of resource availability are all examples of how intelligence built into work-orders can be used. The work-order then, establishes the benchmark against which the manufacturing execution should be managed, driving tasks, enforcing compliance, enhancing productivity, quality and reducing costs.
We can go so far as to say that the perceived intelligence of an MES system is substantially proportional to the advanced capabilities built into the work-order infrastructure. Effective MES starts with work-order planning and scheduling to ensure that the whole shop-floor orchestra works together to deliver a world-class performance. Take a look at the Valor MSS suite, to see the breadth of technology that an integrated MES can deliver when running with advanced intelligent work-orders. The lead-in webinar takes place April 17th. Let's get it started!

In Gary Hustwit's latest independent documentary, we are treated to a portrait of a familiar face – the typeface Helvetica.
Hustwit describes Helvetica through a series of interviews with articulate designers and typographers who tell the story of a font that is frequently used based on a highly adaptive character set. Helvetica is everywhere (think: Evian, BWM, American Apparel). Despite it's neutral qualities Helvetica is a face that still seems to inspire backlash or addiction in the hearts of prolific communicators.
When the Hass type foundry released Helvetica in 1957 it was embraced as the Swiss modernist antidote to overtly emotive typefaces. It was a compelling expressionless blank slate for designers to manipulate. It became ubiquitous. Popular. In the film, we see European grandfathers of design like Wim Crouwel wax poetic about Helvetica and the solutions he found lining its counters.
The backlash becomes evident when the camera turns to Erik Spiekermann's dismissals of Helvetica as simply "bad taste" and Paula Scher's political diatribe on how using Helvetica is akin to supporting the Iraq war. Scher's insight is based on the opinion that Helvetica is so generic, functional and expressionless that it advocates conformity.
The cross-bar to the circular debate between good and bad taste is drawn by Danny van den Gungen of the Dutch group Experimental Jet Set. The studio proves in their stunning posters, advertisements and book covers, that when set in the right hands Helvetica is cool.
Van den Dungen reflects on the subversive qualities of early modernists like the Dadaists and Futurists who went "against something". He laughs about the threat of conformity, explaining that the situation is beyond trends, "it is like the air we breathe" he muses.
Helvetica is a memorable glimpse at the talking heads of celebrity graphic designers and their work. They are accompanied by a satisfying score with songs from The Album Leaf, Kim Hiorthøy, and Sam Prekop – not surprising from a director whose last documentary was about Wilco (I Am Trying To Break Your Heart).

Let's just call Valentine's Day what it is — a test — and I'll openly admit to what I am, a flunky. Which means that this year, not only did I completely neglect to get a gift for my sweet, patient, kind and deeply attractive PhoBlograpHusband, but whenever it did occur to me that I oughta do a V-Day cocktail for the blog, I'd be all, "Err, d'ya really think those guys [Ed. Note: that's you] want a special drink for Valentine's? I don't know if they'd be into that…"
So this weekend, while away on a five-day, half-work/half-play trip to my old St. Louis stomping ground, I briefly mentioned to the PhoBlograpHusband via gchat that, if possible, it'd be great if he could whip up something holiday-appropriate while I was gone that we could then post. He's in the middle of a large project right now for a class on Hollywood film musicals, which helps keep things spicy in our relationship by causing me to wonder on occasion just how gay he is, because he's really into it, but that's neither here nor there. The point is, I brought it up once and that was that. And a couple of days later, he emails me the recipe and photos for the Is You Is My Baby. Now there is a man who can ace a test with flying colors even when it wasn't a test I was actually bothering to proctor.
I like to think that the Is You Is contains a cloaked test or two of its own, the main one assessing the willingness of the drink recipient's palate; most of us don't think jalapeno when we think Feb 14, but garnish heaps of extra credit upon those who do, or are at least up for giving it a shot. (Srsly dudes, life is too long and boring on its own to be with someone who won't.) Secondly, should mixology know-how be high on your list of must-have qualities in a mate — which sounds shallow, sure, but we've all got our I'll-dump-him-if-he-doesn't-say-Manhattan-is-his-favorite-Woody-Allen-movie deal-breakers — you can see if your sig oth is hip to how this cocktail is basically a margarita-sidecar hybrid.
Without a pre-purchased token of affection for my sweetie, I usually just resort to acting extra kissy-kissy on V-Day. Except that Sean and I kiss-kiss all the time. His kisses taste more intoxicating than anything I've ever blogged about here, in fact. Seanboy, You Is My Baby! (And yes, I'll now try to pawn off this paragraph on him as a thoughtful "present." Man, I am the worst.)
The Is You Is My Baby
2 ounces Cognac
1/2 ounce Cointreau
2 medium strawberries
A 1/2-inch piece of jalapeno
1/2 ounce sage-infused simple syrup
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
Cut a few, thin slices of strawberry and jalapeno for garnish and set aside. Muddle the rest of the strawberry and jalapeno with the simple syrup in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add ice and all liquid ingredients. Shake well. Strain into martini glass and add garnish.
Tasting Notes
I'll leave today's notes up to Sean: "Strawberries are romantic and jalapenos are spicy, like romance should be. I thought the sage syrup's herbaceousness combined the two nicely, but using plain simple syrup is totally fine. However, should you use a more downmarket brandy and a triple sec, instead of Cognac and Cointreau, you'll end up with a drink that lacks a certain depth.
"Flavor profile-wise, the lime and the jalapeno gave the drink a nice freshness without being too spicy. With the strawberry, the flavors married very nicely." Yay, married! (Sorry, couldn't help myself, I luv my hubs!)

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My cervical biopsy results indicated that high-grade pre cancer cells were present and I am scheduled for surgery in a month. I was told that a gynecological oncologist would have a better success rate that the ob/gyn would. Is this true and if so, how would I go about having the gyn/oncologist do the procedure rather than the ob/gyn? Any info that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
You did not mention what kind of surgery you were scheduled to undergo, but in general, most general gynecologists are very qualified to perform hysterectomy, LEEP or cone biopsy as treatment for severe dysplasia of the cervix. However, if you would like to seek a second opinion, or another surgeon to manage your case, I would recommend that you ask for a referral to a gynecologic oncologist in your area. When you go for your appointment, you should bring copies of your relevant Pap tests, any colposcopic biopsies, and your doctor's office notes with you.
Nov 7, 2013 - The top five gynecologic oncology-related issues that physicians and patients should question have been released by the Society of Gynecologic Oncology as part of the Choosing Wisely campaign.

GOT EM: Brangelina sure love People magazine — or at least the checks the weekly keeps writing the celebrity couple. The title has again scored the exclusive North American rights to photos of Brad Pitt's and Angelina Jolie's latest children — new twins Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline. On Tuesday night, JustJared.com reported People will publish the photos, and a source close to the deal confirmed the news Thursday night. Hello bought the international rights. People and Hello will unveil the photos on Monday, two days earlier than People's usual newsstand drop day. The price for the photos was a reported $10 million to $15 million, which, assumably, People and Hello will split in some manner.
But what are the chances the large investment in the pictures will pay off?
Though People likely didn't foot the whole bill for the photos, a payment of $5 million — or half of the low end of the estimated cost — is equal to moving 1.3 million newsstand copies, providing its newsstand price remains $3.99. That's a low hurdle for People, which averages 1.5 million copies weekly. Baby photos send even more issues off the racks — the June 19, 2006 issue with the exclusive baby pictures of Brad and Angelina's first daughter, Shiloh, moved 2.2 million newsstand copies, or $8.8 million worth of issues — and that was just for one kid. People reportedly paid $4 million for those pictures in a deal, which was also brokered with Hello.
More recently, People sold more than 2 million copies, or $8 million worth, of its March 31 edition when it featured exclusive photographs of Jennifer Lopez's twins, Max and Emme; the magazine reportedly also paid $4 million for those pictures. Its March 10 issue sold 1.7 million copies, or $6.8 million worth, when it featured Nicole Richie's daughter, Harlow (the magazine is said to have paid $1 million for the snaps since Nicole is no Brad or Angelina). Sources close to the magazine said none of the dollar amounts are accurate.
But not every baby is worth its purse: People's Feb. 25 cover with Christina Aguilera's baby Max sold 1.4 million newsstand copies, or $5.6 million worth, photos the magazine reportedly paid $1.5 million to get. Nonetheless, according to Rapid Report, People's newsstand sales were up 5 percent in the first half compared with the same period of 2007.
Even if it sells less than 1.3 million copies, which is unlikely, sources at competing titles said the value of having the photos goes beyond revenue to People's bottom line. Having the exclusive photos of such coveted offspring gives People bragging rights over its competitors, and will generate priceless media coverage and publicity. "If they lose a million bucks, then [the loss] is equivalent to a million-dollar advertisement for the magazine," said one competing editor.

São Tomé and Príncipe
This is (still) one of the biggest secrets in Africa. São Tomé and Príncipe is top of the list for the most beautiful countries in Africa. With an Equatorial climate the tourists love, it's an island State formed by two main islands as well as other small islands.
The fact this is not one of the most touristic places in the African continent, maybe merely for promotion purposes, together with the cost attached to getting to the islands – gives a double image to São Tomé and Príncipe: that of a land with a strong traditional image, lost in time; and that of dream beaches. The mixture gives it beauty as both the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe are practically virgin. During the last few years, there has been an attempt to develop the tourism sector. This is understandable. There are a lot of attractions. But visiting São Tomé e Príncipe doesn't just mean to spend a whole day sunbathing – the island is very close to the Equator line and means that having a warm climate all year long is one of its main attractions –, but also invites visitors to adventure and new discoveries.The discovery will lead you to find white sandy beaches, transparent sea, coconut trees, waterfalls and a wildlife which will leave you baffled. The National Obô Park, the São Sebastião Fort or the city market are not to be missed. Believe it or not, people will be welcoming: despite being fairly poor, people from São Tomé always have a smile to offer.

Science students to present at forums
Several science majors from The University of Virginia's College at Wise were invited to present their research papers at different symposiums in the region.
Meghan Mullins will present a paper on "An Examination of Pulmonary Function in Individuals in a Hotspot for Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis" at East Tennessee State University's Appalachian Student Research Forum.
In her paper, Mullins examines the effects tobacco products have on coal miners diagnosed with Coal Worker's Pneumoconiosis (CWP) in regions considered hotspots for CWP prevalence. Her results found the use of tobacco products does have an impact on pulmonary function for coal miners diagnosed with CWP.
Jennifer Fulton will present a paper on "Herpetofauna as indicator species in the health of riparian buffer zones" at ETSU's Appalachian Student Research Forum.
Fulton's paper will address the use of reptiles and amphibians found within a site to examine the health of an ecosystem. By sampling selected sites around Norton and Coeburn, Fulton found herpetofauna to be a good indicator in evaluating the health of an ecosystem.
Jesse Miles will present a paper on "Effects of Riparian Habitat Disturbance on Salamander Occupancy and Assemblage Composition" at the ETSU forum and at an upcoming symposium at Emory and Henry College.
In his paper, Miles examines the impact mineral extraction has on a habitat's species. By examining the Guest River Gorge in Wise County, he found mineral extraction is capable of influencing a habitat's local species.
Kinsey Hall, and Samantha Smith will present research on the "Synthesis, characterization, and initial biophysical reactivity of [η⁶-(C₆H₆)Ru(curcuminoid)Cl] complexes" at the American Chemical Society National Meeting in New Orleans on April 6-11 and at the Emory and Henry conference on April 19.
In their research, Hall and Smith synthesized a series of oganometallic ruthenium piano-stool complexes with curcuminoids as co-ligands from the reaction of [(C₆H₆)RuCl2]2 with the curcuminoid in a methanolic solution containing potassium hydroxide. They also investigated the interactions of the complexes with calf-thymus DNA using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies as well as viscometric methods.

SES London presentation: Why content strategy is crucial for social search
By Rachel Hawkes
Yesterday, I went along to the third day of Search Engine Strategies (SES London) to present 'Why content strategy is crucial to social search.' My aim was to give a practical walk through what content strategy is, why as marketers (and brands) we need to understand how social media and content has a role to play in how our customers discover us through search. Reinforcing that, as the only panellist based in the UK, through case studies on this side of the pond.

A content strategy is crucial for social search
By Rachel Hawkes
On Wednesday, I'll be speaking at Search Engine Strategies in London about how a content strategy plays an important role in social search (and therefore the bigger search picture). Alongside two search marketers from America and Canada, my role on the panel will be very much geared along the communications route, focusing on how content strategy and social search fit into a wider marketing and PR plan.

Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: BKW SN CREE INTC TUMI BWLD (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
(Updates from 10:19 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street" Thursday:
Cramer is not a buyer of Burger King (BKW) because investors all seem to be piling into McDonald's (MCD).
He is bullish on Sanchez Energy (SN - Get Report) after interviewing the company's CEO on last night's "Mad Money," and on LED light bulb maker Cree (CREE - Get Report), a stock Cramer said was heading higher.
BKW fell 3% to $19.35, SN rose 2% to $19.50 and CREE was off 18 cents to $53.99. Cramer noted that despite weak sales, shares of Intel (INTC - Get Report) aren't declining much thanks to its dividend yield protection. He told viewers not to buy Tumi (TUMI - Get Report) because he wants to wait and see what it reports in earnings. INTC fell 14 cents to $21.04 and TUM was 11 cents lower at $23.73. Finally, Cramer prefers AFC Enterprises (AFCE), purveyors of Popeye's restaurants, over Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD - Get Report). BWLD rose 37 cents to end Thursday trading at $85.34.

Peacock Tray and Notecard Set
Item #80293
Price: $38.00
Availability: Out of stock. This item is no longer available for purchase.
- Description
- Reviews
Pretty, practical and endearingly proud, a regal peacock adorns the golden glass tray and the 12 exquisite notecards with beautiful blue envelopes. This Peacock Tray and Notecard Set comes tied together with a grosgrain ribbon—in peacock blue, of course. Tray, 6" x 9"; Notecards, 4" x 6".
Museum Provenance
In 1904 Charles Lang Freer acquired a London shipping magnate's dining room (painted by James McNeill Whistler in rich peacock hues overlain with golden peacock designs) and moved it to his Detroit mansion. There he filled the shelves with the ceramics he had collected from Egypt and Asia. Painstakingly restored to its 1908 appearance (including ceramics), it is now on display at the Freer Gallery of Art's exhibit, The Peacock Room Comes to America. Our selection of this elegant, peacock-themed piece was inspired by this beautiful room, which highlights Freer's belief in the "aesthetic relationships among the museum's diverse collections."
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

DENVER, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/17/12 -- Channelinsight today announced that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Zyme Solutions, Inc. for unspecified damages.

By Carmen Gonzalez Even as cloud and managed services grow increasingly central to business strategy and performance, challenges remain. The biggest sticking point for companies seeking to capitalize on the cloud is data security. Keeping data safe is an issue in any computing environment, and it has been a focus since the earliest days of the cloud revolution. Understandably so: a lot can go wrong when you allow valuable information to live outside the firewall. Recent revelations about government snooping, along with a steady stream of well-publicized data breaches, only add to the uncertainty Mar. 6, 2015 11:15 AM EST Reads: 968 |

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

Great product. It's more beautiful than I expected. The Shower curtain is not only functional but stylist. The fabric does a great job of keeping the water in the tub and the shower curtain dries rapidly leaving no need to wipe down.
This liner is light years away from the old plastic liners that get moldy, icky and aren't pleasant to look at or bump into. It does truly repel the water, hangs nicely against the shower curtain; I bought two and couldn't be happier with this purchase. Plastic shower liners? Never ever again!
I was so excited about this shower curtain because it received great reviews. This is horrible, mold gathered on the bottom within 3 weeks of putting it up. What a disappointment. I went to one of the big retailers and bought a commercial grade liner and it is going strong with no problems after about 6 weeks. Save your money
This shower curtain is nice and arrived quickly. It is water resistant rather than waterproof; so it really should be used along with another curtain.
I love having a cloth shower curtain instead of toxic plastic. It is simple looking and beads off the water easily. I highly recommend it. the only negative is that it tends to blow in towards the shower when it's on, but I just weigh it down with a shampoo bottle.
When it got moldy I threw it in the washing machine and it came out like new
I like it but I think maybe the price is a little high.
I am pleased with this product. It matches the shower curtain very well and the construction is quite good.
it is softer than the rubber one I had & my cats don't mess with. it sure brightened up my bathroom
This is a fabric shower liner, just like the ones used in hotels. The color is true. I use a shower curtain with this liner. Yes, it gets wet but dries quickly. As long as you have it fully in the shower, you will not have water on the floor issues. Be sure the magnets are in place in the shower to avoid any leakage, just like you would with a plastic liner. I purchased a washable liner because we use hand made soap, which is made from natural oils. A plastic liner shows too much of the soap residue and is hard to remove. This washable liner does the job in avoiding all that extra cleaning work. I just toss it in the washer and it's clean and ready to use again. It works so well, I'm buying a second one!

Enteroscopy is a procedure used to examine the small intestine (small bowel).
Small bowel biopsy; Push enteroscopy; Double-balloon enteroscopy; Capsule enteroscopy; Sonde enteroscopy
A thin, flexible tube (endoscope ) is inserted through the mouth and into the upper gastrointestinal tract. During a double-balloon enteroscopy, balloons attached to the endoscope can be inflated to allow the doctor to view a section of the small intestine.
In a colonoscopy , a flexible tube is inserted through your rectum and colon. The tube can most often reach into the end part of the small intestine (ileum).
Tissue samples removed during enteroscopy are sent to the lab for examination.
Do not take products containing aspirin for 1 week before the procedure. Tell your doctor if you take blood thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin) or clopidogrel (Plavix), because these may interfere with the test. Do NOT stop taking any medication unless told to do so by your health care provider.
Do not eat any solid foods or milk products after midnight the day of your procedure. You may have clear liquids until 4 hours before your exam.
You must sign a consent form.
You will be given calming medicine for the procedure and will not feel any discomfort. You may have some bloating or cramping when you wake up. This is from air that is pumped into the abdomen to expand the area during the procedure.
This test is most often performed to help diagnose diseases of the small intestines. It may be done if you have:
In a normal test result, the health care provider will not find sources of bleeding in the small bowel, and will not find any tumors or other abnormal tissue.
Signs may include:
Changes found on enteroscopy may be signs of disorders and conditions, including:

125 Ways to Manage Your Money
Through the economy's booms and busts, we've doled out plenty of advice on managing money, from living well on "A Thousand a Year" in 1902 to making sense of today's credit card laws. Here, our 125 best pointers to help you make the most of your dollars.
Special Offers
Past Nuggets of Wisdom
Even our early advice was often right on the money. Some tips that are truly ageless:
- "An ounce of originality is worth a pound of swank."
- "...it is so easy to be extravagant and buy recklessly when one can say, 'Charge it.'" (September 1890)
- Children "should learn to appreciate the fact that the greatest happiness does not always come with the greatest wealth. Give them a suitable allowance when they have reached what may be called years of discretion." (September 1899)
- "It is oftener the trifling outlays frequently repeated that prove ruinous than any conspicuous extravagance." (January 1900)
- Having a small garden can be profitable: vegetables and fruit can be produced from 1/2 to 2/3 the cost of buying them. (May 1903)
- "Shoes soon lose their shape and appearance of newness. If two or three pairs are worn interchangeably, all look fresher, as well as wear longer." (March 1908)
- Buy furniture "just as it comes from the factory unsanded, unpainted, and unstained" to save money. (The chairs featured in the article cost 65 cents each!) (February 1909)
- "Stocks, even good stocks, are speculative; they always have been and the always will be." (November 1929)
Got an Hour or Less? Save $1,500-Plus
- Stop buying bottled water: At $1.50 per 20-ounce bottle, a family of four that goes through 20 bottles a week could save about $1,560 annually. The equivalent water from the faucet? Maybe $1. And it takes just seconds to fill a glass or a reusable water bottle.
- Drain away phantom power: The electrical draw of appliances when they are plugged in but turned off accounts for 5 to 10 percent of a home's electricity bill. Plugging occasionally used printers, DVD players, and stereos into power strips and turning the strips off when not in use could save at least $50 per year and maybe as much as $240. (Setup: 15 minutes. Flipping power strips off: a nanosecond.)
- Hang your laundry to dry: The dryer is the second most energy-sucking appliance in the home behind the fridge. Run your dryer half as frequently and line-dry those loads, for a savings of $32 per year. (Bonus: Line-dried clothes won't look worn or pill as quickly, and are unlikely to shrink.)
Nab a Great Deal
- Learn the sales cycle at your fave stores (every six weeks? every Wednesday?). The easy way: Ask a salesclerk.
- Shop liquidation sales but wait until the last days for the best deals. Pay with plastic: If the item turns out to be broken, the Fair Credit Billing Act gives you the right to dispute charges for items that were not delivered as agreed.
- Hit the swankiest neighborhoods for top bargains on thrift-store goods. Ask what day they put out newly donated items, or stop by early in the week (most people drop off duds on the weekend, and it can take a day or two for them to hit the racks).
- Dollar stores can help you save big, but be wary of time-sensitive products like over-the-counter medicines and food.
- Look for the Good Housekeeping Seal. If you buy a Seal-backed product that proves defective, we'll replace the item or refund your money.
Beyond Coupon Clipping
- Stock up on grocery staples right after Thanksgiving. It's prime time: More food coupons are issued in November and December than in any other season.
- Beware of eye-level impulse buys: Grocers often place overpriced items at eye level on the right-hand sides of the aisles.
- Don't buy premixed: You can pay up to 50 percent more for foods with sugar, spices, or sauces already mixed in. Juice in cartons can cost a hefty 60 percent more than frozen concentrate.
- Check drugstores, warehouse stores, clubs, and dollar stores for great deals on milk, granola bars, cereal, and juice.
- Try amazon.com for nonperishables. Its "Subscribe & Save Program" typically gives 15 percent discounts (plus free shipping) on items such as paper towels.

Pacific Rim comes up strong in Classic
By Jeff Idelson
The second of two semifinal World Baseball Classic games came to an end last night here at historic Dodger Stadium in Chavez Ravine. The Japanese national side proved too tough for its U.S. counterpart, beating the American team in a game that was closer than the final score indicated.
So Japan, which sealed victory in the 2006 Classic by beating Cuba, will defend its title by playing intracontinental rival Korea tonight, with first pitch slated for 9 p.m. ET.
Last night's game had a similar feeling to the Korea-Venezuela semifinal on Saturday. Korea, featuring but one current Major Leaguer, Cleveland Indians outfielder Shin Soo Choo, faced a Venezuela club that was stocked with Major Leaguers. As any good team will do, the Koreans took advantage of five Venezuela errors and parlayed that into a bunch or runs and a lopsided victory.
The U.S. also played sloppily defensively, and Daisuke Matsuzaka was effective enough to keep the U.S. in check, allowing two runs over five innings. A three-run ninth inning for Japan turned a 6-4 game into a lopsided 9-4 final outcome.
The pageantry in the stands was vintage international sports. Japanese flags, thundersticks, balloons, homemade signs and constant enthusiasm gave Team Japan support and took any thoughts of home-field advantage away from the U.S. True, the support for the U.S. was strong, but there was great balance.
Japanese baseball Commissioner Ryozo Kato and all-time home-run leader Sadaharu Oh were in the stands, sitting in front of me. I first met the commissioner last spring in Washington, D.C., when U.S. Navy Secretary Gordon England invited me to lunch in his Pentagon office with Kato and Stan Kasten of the Nationals.
At the time, Commissioner Kato, a very big baseball fan with a deep understanding of U.S. baseball history, was Japan's ambassador to the United States. He is very proud of his national team.
After the Korea-Venezuela game, Brad Horn and I visited with U.S. reliever Brad Ziegler, who last year ran a record-string of scoreless frames for a pitcher starting his Major League career (and yes, he did donate his spikes). Ziegler, an impressive kid who has tremendous respect for the game and visited the Hall of Fame last fall to enjoy the game's history, felt that the team chemistry was strong, allowing the U.S. to reach the semis. Chemistry in sports does matter, but the U.S. side just did not jell last night.
Before the game yesterday, the team seemed loose. David Wright, who delivered the game-winning walkoff hit to propel the U.S. over Puerto Rico and into the semifinals, donated the bat he used to the Hall in the U.S. dugout. "I am so honored to be asked to have something in Cooperstown," he told me. I let him know how grateful we were to him for recognizing that fans would want to see his bat for many years to come and thanked him for sharing it with the baseball public.
Tonight's matchup should be terrific. You have a hungry team in Korea, whose players want to show they can beat a world-class team like Japan. The Koreans have 2008 league most valuable player Kwang-Hyun Kim, who was 16-4 with a 2.39 ERA last year, as well as the two players who finished second and third in the voting, outfielder Hyun-Soo Kim (.357 average) and first baseman Tae Kyun Kim (.324, 31 home runs, 92 RBI).
Japan has a host of talent, led by Ichiro Suzuki, who has 3,000 combined hits between the U.S. and Japan, pitching phenom Yu Darvish, who was 16-4 with a 1.88 ERA for the Nippon Ham Fighters in 2008, and standout outfielder Norichika Aoki (.347 average in 2008).
It should be a great game, and the Pacific Rim again is showing the world that baseball is as important there as it is in Latin America or the Untied States.
Jeff Idelson is the president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Espresso Bi-Cast Leather Harrison Bar Stools, Set of 2
they look great
I wanted a low profile bar stool that was comfortable and sturdy. These are perfect. They are comfortable for long term sitting. There were no surpises, they were exactly as advertized and easy to assemble. We love them.
October 14, 2013
We love these stools!
These stools look absolutely fantastic! We were unsure whether we should order from a site that we did not know but we took a chance. The color in the picture is exactly how they look and they match our bar perfectly. The assembly of them was very easy and they are well designed. They look much more expensive that what we paid for them. We are extremely happy with them. Thank you!
May 29, 2013
Perfect for the small space
I was searching for simple, but classic looking backless barstools with leather cushions, and these fit the bill. As the other reviewers have mentioned, they are solid and well made. The wood stain is a universal espresso and goes perfectly with an exisiting dining table, and the leather cushions also match my sofa and recliners. These stools give me the extra seating that is needed when extra company comes over.
September 18, 2012
Big Bang for the Buck
We bought a few of these a little over a year ago and they are holding up great, even though the are bi-cast leather (hard to tell that though). We use them for our kitchen island and boy do they look sophisticated.
June 20, 2012
Great quality and value
Bought 2 of these bar height stools as extra seating for our kitchen counter. They are so incredibly comfortable and stylish (modern/sleek), we get tons of compliments from guests. The leather seat is a dark expresso with a beautiful light stitching detail around the outside visible edges and the base is a almost the same dark shade of brown, keeping the stools very classy. You can sit in them for extended periods of time without any discomfort because of the sturdier, wider seat base, soft leather, and ample cushioning, unlike most counter or bar stools we found that are usually very narrow and hard to sit in. Those with children...My 20-month old daughter has taken a pen, crayon and sticky fingers to them and they were easy to clean off without an issue!
April 8, 2012
So Comfortable
Picked up 2 of the 30". They were easy to put together and sturdy. Extremely comfortable and look amazing, I highly recommend.
November 1, 2011
Love them
We bought 3 at the store. Love them, but was a little disappointed that we had to return to store because one of the spacer bars was not pre-drilled (manufacturing error) The store manager could not have been nicer and apologized for the inconvenience and replaced the spacer.
They look fantastic and were easy to assemble. They seem very sturdy.
July 1, 2011
Our neighbors had these and we thought they were sleek, comfy, and durable. So the following week, we went over during sales and bought us a pair! LOVE THEM!!!! Great quality! VERY pleased! Not to mention the World Market I bought them from were SO NICE!!! Love World Market!!!!!

text: 5 ExcellentPosted: 30/04/2013I wasn't expecting much from TR, I'd not really played any earlier titles but overall I thought it was brilliant and I'm looking forward to a sequel.The graphics are excellent maxed out, I found that my rig. I'm running an AMD PII 965, 8 gig ram and 7850 1GB which handled it typically above 60 fps indoors and about 40 fps in some of the more demanding outdoor scenes. The 7850 limited the game not the CPU.The story is very good and engaging although some of the NPC characters involved in the plot are a bit 'obvious'. The game play is good, combat is exciting but perhaps sometimes a little easy. I played first round on hard and didn't die often in firefights even with dozens of enemies yet in contrast sometimes there are button bashing or button press timing scenes which are difficult to respond to on the keyboard but do-able with a few attempts. Quite frustrating.I'd seriously suggest giving it a go.
