We favor this flick for its honest portrayal of a how a relationship can go horribly wrong.
Will The Vow nab a spot on your Valentine's Day movie list for 2012? After all, it's got amnesia, brooding, Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams. Check it out in theaters starting February 10 and decide for yourself.
A Garry Marshall classic with far too many story lines to follow or invest in, this movie still makes our list for the heart-melting plots involving Julia Roberts and Bradley Cooper. Trust us on this one: rent it this V Day (if it's not already part of your permanent collection)
We favor this flick for its honest portrayal of a how a relationship can go horribly wrong.
As promised by the title listing the different facets of love, this movie has multiple dimensions. It's the tale of a couple who grew up too fast to build a life together and have now fallen out of love; two young people moving past the bullshit of the modern dating scene; and an old-generation-meets-new bromance. Plus, Ryan Gosling and a Dirty Dancing reference. A must-watch in our book.
In many ways, the Nicholas Sparks film is like what would have happened in The Notebook if the couple were actually allowed to exchange letters. The love between John (Channing Tatum) and Savannah (Amanda Seyfried) grows through their correspondence while he's away at war, but when they reunite in-person, they realize that a lot has changed in their lives. And, like with all Sparks books-turned-movies, make sure to have tissues close by.
I absolutely love this movie. It mocks romantic comedy conventions like filming in LA and emotional music choices, and yet it still incorporates cheesy bits like flash mobs and, you know, the whole idea of falling in love with your best friend. Mila Kunis, and Justin Timberlake (especially Justin) should be the romantic leads in many comedies to come.
Pair this with Friends With Benefits for a double feature! No Strings Attached has a more emotionally unavailable heroine in Natalie Portman, but her deadpan contrasts nicely with goofy Ashton Kutcher.
Definitely the most nakedness and sex on this list. A must if you're into that sort of thing. Or you like Jake Gyllenhaal and 90's references.
A movie that proves you can take the girl out of [insert place name here] but you can't take the [same place] out of the girl! Bonus points for the memorable line (which we find ourselves using frequently in Brooklyn): "You have a baby..in a bar."
Only Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds could make a tale of female-on-male workplace sexual harassment this cute.
Indulge in this heartwarming romance while remembering a less well-connected time when the feelings you got when you heard Mr. AOL say, "You've Got Mail," were some of the best in the world.

Time to stay indoors; school was cancelled at my site tomorrow, after evacuating the campus this morning. People seem to all be okay, but there were some mandatory evacuations near the foothill areas within the fire's path.

OXFORD – Where Ole Miss fans stand on changes to the Rebels' football uniforms may depend on the individual fan's date of birth.
The school unveiled some different looks to its classic game-day apparel on Saturday during its spring football scrimmage, showing new navy-colored pants and bringing back a white jersey with navy numbers and stripes.
"I love them. I think it's a fresh change of pace," said Tupelo resident Benjamin Stewart, 25, a recent Ole Miss graduate. "Players like them, and I do too. It's something new that Ole Miss hasn't done before. It's very eye-appealing. I think most people of my demographic like them. I've heard different opinions from the older generation."
The changes are mostly in color combinations but also include a different "cut" to the uniforms, the same cut used in NFL uniforms also made by Nike.
In a YouTube introduction video Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said, "We're not going away from our traditional stuff, but we might want to mix it up every now and then."
Some older fans have been reluctant to fully embrace the new looks, including one who used to wear the uniform.
Blue-pants blues
"Uniforms are like music. Everybody has their own opinion. The blue pants threw me off a little bit. I didn't particularly like those," said John Darnell, a Corinth native, who lettered at quarterback from 1987-1989. "I can see doing something one game or two to do something fun for the players, but I'm not too much for changing it up. Look at all the great programs across the country. Most of the top programs keep their same uniforms."
There are exceptions to the rule. Oregon comes to mind.
Former Oregon stars LeGarrette Blount and LaMichael James have said uniform combinations were one of the first things that piqued their interest in recruiting.
"You're catering to a football team with 18-20-year-old kids that like something different," Stewart said.
Change is still a delicate topic. The opinions of an older generation that is buying season tickets and giving money to support the program will also be considered.
"You have to do what you have to do for recruiting," Darnell said. "If changing up the uniforms helps recruiting, I support that."
The uniform discussion stirs passion in a lot of fans … not all of them.
"The changes did not seem radical," said Tupelo resident Van Stone, 55. "I'm really more interested in how the guys inside the uniforms play than how they look."
Darnell seconds that.
"As long as they win they can wear whatever they want."

They didn't teach the First Law of Celebrity Magnetism in school: that a critical mass of famous people showing up at one place creates an irresistible force that attracts pretty much all the other famous people to it. Of course, the setting of celebrity haven St. Regis Princeville Kauai may have something to do with it, too, including the hypnotic sweeping views of Hanalei Bay and the rippled, jungle-clad volcanic mountains that form the Napali Coast. It's no wonder that this bay, celebrated as the inspiration for the song "Puff the Magic Dragon," has drawn surfers and stoners for years, not to mention the Hollywood location scouts who used it for Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park and South Pacific, where it stood in for the mythical Bali Hai.
The 251-room St. Regis has simply made paradise more convenient for pleasure seekers such as Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Olivia Munn, Kelly Clarkson and Alicia Keys. They come for the St. Regis' signature butler service, the Asian-influenced fare at chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's casual Kauai Grill and that killer view, visible from every guest room. You might bump into Avril Lavigne poolside (a venue angled to maximize the view) or spot Matt Damon on the hotel's beach, where you can explore the bay in a replica outrigger canoe handmade and paddled by local legend Trevor Cabell. He can take you out to watch some of the world's top surfers catching the break and then anchor for snorkeling among sea turtles.
George Clooney took up residence at the hotel when he filmed The Descendants, and numerous scenes were shot in the lobby and Presidential Suite and along the beachfront. Other A-listers have come and liked what they've seen so much that they bought homes nearby, including Julia Roberts, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Stiller. When they aren't in flip-flops at Tiki Iniki, a newly opened bar in Hana owned by local Todd Rundgren and his wife, Michele, you might catch them in the midst of the daily routine–a traditional Lomi Lomi treatment at the hotel's Halele'a Spa, followed by a mai tai and sunset over Hanalei Bay from the hotel's deck. It's a spectacle so intoxicating that it's a wonder the St. Regis hasn't tried to brand it. –Everett Potter

I will save any negative comments when he gets a couple of years into his term. I prefer to give Obama some time to sort things out because he is trying to dig his way out of the mess the last administration left him with. When Bush took over the Presidency in 2001, he came in with a clean slate. Not so with Obama.
And no, I do not think he deserves the recognition for the Nobel Peace Prize because he has not brought peace to any Country yet.
I hardly ever post any more, but I just had to read this thread today. I am sorry, but the Nobel USED TO mean something. But it has been down hill for a long, long time. It went from Gandhi and Mother Teresa to Yasar Arafat and Barack Obama in about 65 years. I could go to a soup kitchen or battered women's shelter in any town in this country and find someone who has done VASTLY more to bring peace to this God forsaken world than Mr. Obama. Those peoples vision might actually inspire us all... Mr. Obama's, I am sorry to say, doesn't come close to measuring up (IMHO).
If I am not mistaken, I believe the VOTING for this award, not just nominations, took place in February, some 11 days after the inauguration. 11 days! Mr. Obama didn't even know where the bathrooms were in the White House by that time! The committee, AND Mr. Obama should be ashamed and embarrassed. After all, the Nobel committee is from Norway, one of the WONDERFUL European countries Mr. Obama and Ms. Pelosi want to remake America after. And this is the kind of form over substance, political BS that will soon reign supreme in their "Brave New World". More so than it already is.
Sorry for the blast. I know I don't post much, so thank you for the opportunity to vent.

The adenoids (lymphatic tissue in the back of the throat), along with the tonsils, comprise the Waldeyer ring.
Adenoidectomy may be recommended when enlarged adenoids are blocking the airway, which may be suspected if the child:
Adenoidectomy may be recommended if the child has chronic ear infections that:
Adenoidectomy may be recommended if the child has chronic or repeated bouts of tonsillitis.
The adenoids normally shrink as the child reaches adolescence and adenoidectomy is rarely needed after reaching the teenage years.
While the child is deep asleep and pain-free (using general anesthesia), a breathing tube is inserted into the child's mouth and throat. A small instrument is inserted into the mouth to prop it open. The adenoid tissue is removed and bleeding is controlled.
Adenoidectomy is usually done as an outpatient procedure. Complete recovery takes 1 to 2 weeks. While healing, the child may have a stuffy nose, nasal drainage, and a sore throat. Soft, cool foods and drinks may help relieve throat discomfort.

Todd EnglishOne of the most decorated, respected, and charismatic chefs in the world, Todd English has enjoyed a staggering amount of accolades during his remarkable career. His accomplishments include recognition by several of the food industry's most prestigious publications, establishing one of the best-known restaurant brands in the nation and publishing three critically acclaimed cookbooks.
His list of culinary awards includes: the James Beard Foundation's National Rising Star Chef (1991), the James Beard Foundation's Best Chef in the Northeast (1994), Nation's Restaurant News named English one of their Top 50 Tastemakers (1999), Bon Appetit's Restaurateur of the Year (2001) and one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People (2001). Todd has recently been named to the James Beard Foundation's Who's Who in Food and Beverage in America.
Todd is the chef and owner of his flagship restaurant Olives in Charlestown, Massachusetts. Olives opened in April of 1989 as a 50-seat storefront restaurant. It has drawn national and international applause for English's interpretive rustic Mediterranean cuisine. In recent years, English has established Olives as one of the most prestigious names in the nation by opening fi ve other locations around the world. In addition, English has launched numerous other restaurants in various locations, including Figs, Tuscany, Bonfi re, KingFish Hall, Fish Club, Todd English Restaurant aboard the QM2, BlueZoo, English is Italian, and, most recently, Riche in New Orleans.
Like English himself, his restaurants have received numerous accolades. The original Olives opened to immediate acclaim and was voted Best New Restaurant by Boston Magazine. Since then, it has been honored as Best Food and Top Table by Gourmet Magazine and is consistently named Boston's #1 Favorite Restaurant by Zagat. In addition, Figs was given the Hot Concept award from Nation's Restaurant News, and KingFish Hall was named Best of Boston by Travel & Leisure Magazine.
Todd English began his cooking career at the age of 15 when he first entered the doors of a professional kitchen. At 20, he attended the Culinary Institute of America and graduated in 1982 with honors. He continued to hone his craft with Jean-Jacques Rachou at New York's La Côte Basque and then relocated to Italy where he apprenticed at the well-established Dal Pescatore in Canto Sull O'lio and Paraccuchi in Locando D'Angello. It was in Italy that Todd, drawing from his Italian heritage, developed his unique style and approach to cooking. English returned to the United States at 25 and was asked to be the Executive Chef of the award-winning Northern Italian restaurant Michela's in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He served there as an executive chef for three years, garnering high praise from both the press and the public.
Some of English's television credits include the national public television series, Cooking Under Fire, produced by WGBH-TV in Boston, public television's Cooking in with Todd English, Iron Chef USA, Martha Stewart Living, Food Network's Opening Soon, Bobby Flay's Food Nation, and The Main Ingredient. Other appearances include: Good Morning America, The Tony Danza Show, Extra, CBS This Morning, Live with Regis and Kelly, The Today Show, VH1's My Coolest Years, Discovery Channel's Party Planners, B Smith Style, Great Chefs of the Northeast and Fox News Channel's Fox and Friends. Todd has authored three critically acclaimed cookbooks, The Olives Table, The Figs Table and The Olives Dessert Table published by Simon & Schuster. He served as the Executive Chef of the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards and in the fall of 2005 he launched his personal signature lifestyle line. Todd is very involved with several local and national charities including: Men With Heart, Big Brothers, The Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, the Anthony Spinazzola Foundation, Share Our Strength, and the Boys and Girls Clubs.

S&P 500 Extends Longest Rally Since 2004; Euro GainsStephen Kirkland, Inyoung Hwang and Sarah Pringle
U.S. stocks rose, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index to its first eight-day rally since 2004, as companies from Microsoft Corp. to Procter & Gamble Co. posted better-than-estimated earnings. The euro strengthened to an 11-month high while the yen traded at the lowest since 2010.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 0.5 percent to 1,502.96 at 4 p.m. in New York, its first close above 1,500 since 2007, even as Apple Inc. slid 2.4 percent and relinquished its position as the world's biggest company by market value. The euro climbed 0.6 percent to $1.3456 as the European Central Bank said banks will repay more of its loans than economists forecast. The yen slid 0.7 percent versus the dollar. Oil capped a seventh weekly gain, the longest rally in almost four years.
Stocks extended their 2013 advance as earnings beat estimates at 10 of 13 companies in the S&P 500 that reported results since the close of markets yesterday. Per-share profit has exceeded the average analyst estimate at about 76 percent of the 147 companies in the index that released results so far in the reporting season, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
"With earnings surprisingly good, the trends are also more importantly favorable for the outlook for 2013, coupled with an economic recovery," Christopher McHugh, who helps manage $3.5 billion at Turner Investment Partners in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, said in a telephone interview. "All that is fueling the continuation of a rally, but particularly the strong earnings growth that's coming."
Earnings Season
Earnings have grown 12 percent for the S&P 500 companies that have reported results so far amid a 4.9 percent increase in sales. Profits for the entire index are forecast to have increased 4 percent in the period, according to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Consumer and energy shares led gains among the 10 main industry groups in the S&P 500 today. The benchmark gauge of U.S. equities extended a fourth straight weekly gain. It needs to rise about 4.1 percent to reclaim its 2007 record of 1,565.15, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average must advance less than 2 percent to surpass its peak.
Microsoft Corp. climbed 0.9 percent to the highest since November after the world's largest software maker said revenue rose while profit declined as the company spent more money to market its Windows operating system and lure consumers flocking to tablets and smartphones. P&G jumped 4 percent after also raising its 2013 forecast amid growth in market share in key categories.
Market Movers
Starbucks Corp., the world's largest coffee-shop operator, advanced 4.1 percent as profit rose 13 percent in the fiscal first quarter, meeting analysts' estimates.
Apple's 12-month reign as the No. 1 stock ended after the shares slumped 17 percent this year, worse than any other companies in the S&P 500. The decline reduced its market capitalization to $413 billion, below Exxon Mobil Corp.'s $418 billion. Apple extended yesterday's 12 percent tumble, triggered after the company reported the slowest profit growth since 2003. Exxon Mobil added 0.4 percent to $91.73 today, its highest price since October.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index added 0.3 percent and has increased 0.9 percent this week, halting two weeks of losses. SolarWorld AG, Germany's biggest solar-panel maker, slid 30 percent today after saying it needs to make "serious adjustments" to its debt structure.
The euro rose against 15 of its 16 major peers, trading for more than 85 British pence for the first time since Feb. 29. It strengthened 1.3 percent to 122.37 yen, and reached 122.77 yen, the highest since April 2011.
'Quite Comfortable'
Banks will hand back 137.2 billion euros ($184 billion) of loans in their first early repayment of the ECB's so-called Longer-Term Refinancing Operations, the central bank said today. That's more than 84 billion euros economists predicted in a Bloomberg survey.
"It shows that banks are quite comfortable in terms of off-loading excess liquidity," said Padhraic Garvey, head of developed-market debt strategy at ING Bank NV in Amsterdam. "This goes along with the theme of a reduction in the flight to safety."
Italy's 10-year bond yield fell three basis points to 4.13 percent, the lowest since 2010. German two-year notes dropped, pushing the yield eight basis points higher to 0.26 percent. German business confidence rose for a third month in January, according to the Ifo institute's business climate index.
Yen, Commodities
The Japanese currency declined as much as 1 percent to 91.19 per dollar, the weakest level since June 2010 and capping an 11th weekly loss, the longest losing streak in data compiled by Bloomberg going back to 1971. Consumer prices fell for the seventh time in eight months in December, backing Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's case for aggressive monetary easing to defeat deflation.
Cotton, lead and silver lost more than 1.6 percent to lead declines in 15 of 24 commodities in the S&P GSCI Index, sending the gauge down 0.2 percent. Gold futures dropped to a two-week low, falling 0.8 percent to $1,656.60 an ounce, amid reduced demand for the precious metal as a haven investment.
Copper slumped the most in a week, dropping 0.7 percent to $3.652 a pound, as an unexpected decrease in new-home sales tempered the demand outlook for the metal. Home sales fell 7.3 percent to a 369,000 annual pace, below the 385,000 median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists and the 398,000 rate in November that was the highest in more than two years, government figures showed today. Copper also fell after Anglo American Plc said it produced more of the metal last quarter.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index lost 0.4 percent after Samsung Electronics Co. said the won's strength is hurting profits and Kia Motors Corp.'s profit missed estimates. South Korea's Kospi slid 0.9 percent, the most in more than a week. The Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0.5 percent. Russia's Micex added 0.7 percent to the highest level since April while India's Sensex and Brazil's Bovespa gained 0.9 percent.

Experience is essential
All ACCA students are required to complete their exams, take the Professional Ethics module and complete the PER (Practical Experience Requirement) before they can become an ACCA member.
It's very important that tuition providers are able to support students in all areas of the ACCA Qualification and not just in the exams.
Students can gain their practical experience before, during or after they complete their exams. The PER provides a structure for them to follow by setting a range of performance objectives. The performance objectives ensure they gain the experience to demonstrate that they have the abilities required to become a member.
The performance objectives are closely linked to the exam syllabus and we recommend that students co-ordinate their study and practical experience achievement to gain the most from both.

A step-by-step outline to navigating the process:
The State of Indiana requires individuals and companies who seek to do business with the state to register with the appropriate state agencies prior to bidding on contracts. To make the process a bit simpler, here is a basic outline of the steps required to do business with the State of Indiana.
In accordance with IC 5-22-16-4, the Indiana Secretary of State must register any potential contractor or subcontractor that is desiring to perform any portion of the work described in any bid/quote before they can be awarded a purchase order. All out-of-state and in-state limited liability partnerships, limited partnerships, corporations, s-corporations, nonprofit corporations and limited liability companies must register. To successfully register with the Secretary of State's office your business must be in good standing with the Indiana Department of Workforce Development and the Indiana Department of Revenue.
The Indiana Department of Administration Procurement Division manages the purchasing and contracting process for all state agencies except the Indiana Department of Transportation. A good rule of thumb: If you want to sell to Indiana state government, register with the Department of Administration.
Indiana Department of Administration Public Works Division must pre-qualify (register) all building designers and planners and all building contractors and subcontractors working on projects valued at over $150,000.
The Indiana Department of Administration Minority And Women's Business Enterprises Division must certify all minority and women-owned business enterprises that wish to provide commodities, professional services or construction services to the state of Indiana. An exception is those businesses that seek to do business with the Indiana Department of Transportation. Please note: Before MWBE certification can be awarded, applicants must also register with the Indiana Department of Administration Procurement Division.
The Indiana Department of Transportation manages contractors and vendors for INDOT projects. Additionally, the Department of Transportation manages the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Certification for qualifying businesses that would like to bid on INDOT work. Note: A MWBE certified minority- or woman-owned business that would like an INDOT contract should also register as a DBA with the Department of Transportation.
The Ethics Rules from the Indiana Code of Ethics is compiled by the Office of Inspector General and the state Ethics Commission. The ethics rules outline prohibited actions for state employees and contractors.
Vendors and contractors who seek to do business with the state and who are not responding to a specific solicitation may need to register as an Executive Branch Lobbyist.

Pro-Stat Profile is a complete protein supplement providing the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommended Essential Amino Acids profile1, and is an excellent source of high nitrogen, Conditionally-Essential and Non-Essential Amino Acids.
1Food and Nutrition Board 2005, Institute of Medical. 30 oz. bottle. Also available by the case.
New Pro-Stat Profile is formulated for people who need extra protein and dietary intake is limited in the essential amino acids. Pro-Stat Profile is Lactose and Gluten Free.
1Food and Nutrition Board 2005, Institute of Medical.
Nutrition Information: Click on the product label image at the bottom of the page to enlarge for detailed information.
Pro-Stat Profile provides a concentrated source of complete protein (10 g/30 ml) and energy (101 Kcal/30 ml), with the IOM 2005 essential amino acid pattern (PDCAAS =100%) as well as important conditionally essential and non-essential amino acids.
Most diets contain multiple protein sources and adequate cumulative amounts of the essential amino acids. Pro-Stat Profile provides fail-safe assurance in those instances when dietary intake of the essential amino acids is inconsistent, inadequate or difficult to determine.
Ounce for ounce, not all protein supplements are created equal. The purpose of protein supplementation is to provide sufficient amino acids to support tissue building and repair. The effectiveness of protein supplementation depends upon the amount of total protein intake and the amount of amino acids-peptides actually absorbed and utilized by the body. Intake and absorption are affected by digestibility, the concentration of nutrients per volume, ease of delivery, and quality of nutrients.
Pro-Stat Profile provides the highest amount of the essential amino acids per liquid ounce with a Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of 100 and a Net Protein Utilization (NPU) approximately twice that of meat or fish protein, (NPU measures the retention of absorbed nitrogen in order to evaluate protein digestibility and amino acid content.) The high NPU results both from Pro-Stat's amino acid profile, which is rich in essential and conditionally essential amino acids, and because it is hydrolyzed (predigested) into the elemental, absorbable component - amino acid-peptides.
Conditionally essential amino acids, such as Arginine, Glutamine, Glycine and Proline are also important for adult nutrition because of the body's inability to product them in the amounts needed for wound-healing and hypermetabolism caused by stress from serious illness or trauma. Arginine, Glutamine and Glycine in particular have been found to improve wound healing, enhance immune function and optimize gut mucosal repair. Pro-Stat Profile provides almost twice as much of these conditionally essential amino acids as a comparable amount of whole egg protein.
Pro-Stat Profile is a naturally viscous liquid.Do Not Refrigerate.Refrigeration causes gelling. Excessive heat could cause product to expand.Discard three (3) months after opening.
Record date opened on bottom of container
Pro-Stat is a medical food. Consult your health care professional on use of this product.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the World Health Organization (FAO/WHO) developed PDCAAS for the measurement of protein value in human nutrition. The method is based on comparison of the concentration of the first limiting indispensable amino acid (IAA) in the test protein with the concentration of that amino acid in a reference (scoring) pattern, which was updated by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 2005. This scoring pattern is derived from the IAA requirements of the preschool-age child. The chemical score obtained in this way is corrected for true fecal digestibility of the test protein. PDCAAS values higher than 100% are not accepted as such but are truncated to 100%._
Although the principle of the PDCAAS method has been widely accepted, questions have been raised in the scientific community about 1) the validity of the preschool-age child amino acid requirement values, 2) the validity of correction for fecal instead of ideal digestibility and 3) the truncation of PDCAAS values to 100%. Also, the scoring pattern does not include conditionally indispensable amino acids, which also contribute to the nutrition value of a protein._
The PDCAAS of any individual protein source is most meaningful when the protein being evaluated is the sole source of dietary protein. Because dietary intake generally includes multiple protein sources with varying amino acid patterns, an individual's protein requirements are affected by the other components of the diet as well as the overall level of dietary protein and energy._ Accurate evaluation of any individual diet should include the cumulative amounts of all amino acids consumed.
Pro-Stat Profile is a complete protein supplement providing the IOM 2005 IAA pattern (PDCAAS=100%) in addition to high-nitrogen conditionally indispensable and dispensable amino acids.

Gertrude Jerney Brunclik
MADISON-Gertrude Jerney Brunclik, age 92, died peacefully March 12, 2013 at home surrounded by family. Gert was born January 1, 1921 in Amery, Wisconsin, the daughter of Bruce and Alys Morrison. She married Allis (Bill) Jerney in 1941; they had four children. Bill was a career officer in the Army which meant they moved often. The lived at Ft. Polk, LA; Ft. Sill, OK; Cincinnatti, OH; Salzburg, Austria; Okinawa; and Ft. Devans, MA where Bill died in 1962. The family then moved to Madison, Wisconsin. Gert's career was being an Army wife. She kept a beautiful home for her family in whatever type of housing was available; even a Quonset hut in Okinawa. Gert always was an active volunteer in Army post life. Gert cherished her family, both immediate and extended. Gert was devoted to her children, thrilled with her granddaughters, and was awestruck at the joys of great-grandparenthood. She remained close to her brothers and sisters and their families. In 1967 Gert married James Brunclik. She moved to Milwaukee and her family grew with the addition of two step-daughters. In Milwaukee Gert established a new home and was a hospital volunteer. Granddaughters came into Jim and Gert's lives and they were rejuvenated. Nothing made them happier than time with these girls. When Jim retired, they moved back to Madison. Here they were close to grandchildren and the arrival of great-grandchildren. Gert never tired of being with them; she always said being around children kept her young. Even the neighborhood children called her Grandma Gert.
Gert is survived by her son, James (Angi) Jerney, her daughter Sally Jerney, stepdaughters Jane Brunclik and Sue (Barney) Brunclik and daughter-in-law Charlotte Jerney; her granddaughters Michelle (Christopher) Davis and Laura (Brian) Franzen Elmer, Jamie Domini and Jackie (Stephen) Rose; great-grandkids Jerney and Madison Davis, Zoey Franzen and Maxwell Elmer, Heron and Joe Rose; her sisters Charlotte Larson, Janet (John) Winn; sisters-in-law Lorraine Morrison, Maryann Morrison, and Courtney Nelson; brother-in-law Gene Pribnow; and many loved nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husbands Bill Jerney and Jim Brunclik; her sons Bruce Jerney and Billy Jerney; her son-in-law, Ron Domini; her brothers David, Bruce (Pete) and Stuart Morrison; her sister Marietta Wilson Pribnow; brothers-in-law Loell Larson and Donald Wilson.
A Memorial Celebration will be held on Sunday, March 24, 2013, at 2:00 PM at Middleton Community Church, 645 Schewe Road, Middleton, with the Reverend James Iliff presiding. Visitation will be at the church from 1:00 PM until the time of the service.
Gert's family would like to thank Dr. Pribbenow and Sue, the staff at Agrace HospiceCare, and Stephanie Berry for all the special personal care given to Gert during her illness.
Visitation will be at the church from 1:00 PM until the time of the service.

| Homeowner: Robert Kelly of Piedmont, California
Robert Kelly's vintage-style kitchen is only about 145 square feet, but he doesn't need much more space — even with kids and pets around. Kelly's home was built in the 1920s, and preserving the original style was a big priority. Each appliance and finish was chosen to complement the house as a whole. The beautiful vintage stove was given to him by a friend.

|The most difficult part of Kelly's renovation was planning the kitchen in relation to the rest of the house. The traffic flow had to be arranged with emphasis on one side of the space, leaving more space for cabinets and counters on the other. Relocating the interior stairs, the exterior stairs and the windows helped achieve this but presented some complications.

| Homeowner: Steve Justrich of San Francisco
Designer Steve Justrich's renovated 1912 kitchen was carefully designed to make the most of its 90 square feet. Justrich relied on simple tricks — placing the refrigerator flush to the wall in an old doorway and purchasing small European appliances — to save on space. Open shelving instead of upper cabinetry and a turquoise Venetian plaster ceiling create the illusion of more space.

| A tiny dishwasher is all Justrich needs for a day's worth of dishes. A built-in cutting board and a strainer for the sink expand counter and prep space. Colorful artwork and Heath pottery add cheer to the simply designed space.

Yossy Arefi-Afshar loves to bake, and refuses to let her tiny New York kitchen stop her. Although she's learned some hard lessons about planning along the way ("I'll never forget the time I got too ambitious with my menu and ended up doing dishes in the bathtub the next day," she says), she's learned to work with what she's got.

I had a pup about that same age who had a couple of yeast infections in one ear. My vet recommended Zymox Otic with Hydrocortisone to clear it up. He was one of the smallest pups in the litter and once he grew up a little, he never had another infection.
Sonia Liedman
A big thumbs up for the purple stuff!! works great. Actually had my vet call me one time to ask for the recipe
Also agree with looking at the food you are feeding.
I don't agree with Yellow Machine about cleaning the ears all the time. Mother Nature gave the dogs an immune system, including secretions in the ears that should protect them from infection. If you clean clean clean the ears you may be removing some of the good stuff. If dog is getting infections over and over again, then that tells you something is defeating the immune system.
I'm not a vet, but I had a battle with ear infections in one of my dogs and got bad, bad advice from a vet about what to do about it, so I feel for you.
Also, me personally, I would not experiment with DIY treatments in a such a young puppy. I'd go with the vet treatments (unless he suggests something radical like mine did).

Uplandbird, when the dogs each had their one ear infection I followed the Vet's treatment like clock work, but like some one else stated I see no reason to dry my dog's ears every time they get out of the pool because it has not been an area to cause them follow up care. They are in the pool for hours several times a day all year long. If I do not want them in the pool I have to put a leash on them. I do check my dog's ears regularly as well as their teeth, skin, eyes, and pads. If I saw any redness I would be at the Vet within the hour. You should see my file.
Anyways, no offense about your dogs health.
That's the problem is that most people don't bother checking ears, teeth, general health of their dogs. Only when they notice a problem and sometimes it's to late.
You are the exception to the rule.
I always dry not clean the inside of my dogs ear, when done in the water.
i was was just trying to give him advice on how to help prevent it (moisture and low oxygen again big factors in yeast infections)in the future cuz if he's Drying them he's also gonna look at them to see if something is brewing in there. He can get a jump on treating before it gets to be a problem.
That's all! I've seen some very sad stories over the 20 years of being a vet tech and probably am way overboard with clients and my dogs health. but I can't help it! Maria, ie: uplandbird
I think an ear infection as a puppy is pretty common, right up there w/ UTIs, and right around teething seems to be a problematic time for both. Given that the immune system isn't mature until 6+ mos, I'd surely not fret over it. The purple stuff is what I use, and I've yet to have a dog w/ ear issues later in life. My dogs are also in the water quite a bit though it's fairly clean.
Growing up with Goldens and now having a 7 year old springer I have been cleanings ears longer than most vets have been practicing. I am by no means a vet, but the old saying an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is very true here! Best method I have found is rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball. You aren't going deep in the canal, as you will hurt more than help, but simply using the alcohol to dry and cotton ball to gently clean. You can also lay your dog on its side and pour half a cap full of rubbing alcohol in the ear canal and gently massage the ear, and then gently roll em over and let alcohol run out onto towel. Mine love it if done gently. Think of it like a child who has water stuck in their ear after swimming in the river....same concept you would use to prevent them from getting swimmers ear.

Contactless Cards 5/9/11
Reported by Martha Koloski | bio | email | blog
It may be convenient to pay with a wave of your credit or debit card. But Consumer Reports' Andrea Rock says so-called contactless cards make your personal data vulnerable. "Thieves can collect the information while it's being transmitted by using a card reader that costs less than 100 dollars." To demonstrate, Rock tucks a card reader in her purse and security consultant Henry Bar-Levav puts a contactless card in his pocket. She bumps into him, and in that moment she can steal his credit-card information. Andrea Rock, "From that little bump in the parking lot, it's possible to download your account number, expiration date, and security data to a computer. From there it's simple to use blank cards to make counterfeits." Recursion Ventures, the security consultants who demonstrated the cards' weakness, were able to use the bogus card to successfully charge a transaction. You may have contactless cards in your wallet and not even know it. Chase cards say Blink. MasterCards' are called PayPass, and some have this symbol. Andrea Rock, "The technology is active whether you use the card for contactless payments or not. And there's not much you can do except ask your bank if they will replace the card with a regular one." Another option - a protective sleeve like the one Rock made out of duct tape, lined with aluminum foil. Andrea Rock, "Recursion's tests showed that it worked better than many of the ones you can buy, but even that didn't block the signal completely." So while waving your card is easy, making sure it's secure isn't. "

East Union has four seniors on its powerlifting team, all ready to go out on top.
The Urchins won Class 2A North and Saturday will try to bring home their first state championship at the MHSAA championship meet in Jackson. The meet starts at 8:15 a.m. at Mississippi Coliseum.
East Union coach Scott Duley says his team's focus on a team title motivates them individually as well.
"With these guys, we've got a chance. In any sport, especially in powerlifting, you need seniors," Duley said. "The work they've put in from North (state) to now is really, really impressive."
Grant Keller (308-pound class), Nicky Greszler (275), Nathan Reed (242) and Dustin Pratt (198, but trying to bump up a class) make up those seniors. The team beat another favorite, Calhoun City, three times this season, once by a single point. Both are sending eight to state.
Reed is part of that progress since North state a month ago. He squatted 585 there and had a recent 625 in the weight room.
Pontotoc's Bailey Wray has a chance to tear the record book open Saturday. Wray is one of two Warriors lifters on the Super 12 and by far the heaviest lifter, totaling 1,855 pounds at the North qualifier. That total includes a 750-pound squat and 705-pound dead lift.
"I don't know if there is anybody who works as hard as that kid does," Pontotoc coach Mickey Mapp said. "He eats, breathes and sleeps powerlifting.
"At North (State), he was on. He got every one of his lifts."
Pontotoc could realistically walk away with five individual state champions, including Elite 11 female lifters Molly Sorto, from the 123-pound class and Monique Loftis in the 97-pound class.
Colton Bramlett, also a Super 12 member from the 198-pound class, has a chance to walk away with gold.
"He's been phenomenal all year himself," Mapp said. "I look for him to garnish first place, and Joe Hall, our lone senior, to have a good meet. I'm pretty excited about Saturday."

It sounds like the button on the bottom right, if you don't have a pass code, will let you bypass.
So what is the point of this??
Basically you still have to use iOS's regular passcode if you want security. Because if you don't, anyone can skip the drawing process and tap the bottom right button!
It makes this tweak purely just for fun and not any real use.
Am I understanding it correctly? I hope not
Will it work with ICaughtyou Pro? I have that and it works with my passcode. If it doesnt work with it then I will not get it.
Love the idea, but...
1) For three dollars, I really would like to see iPad compatibility. Am I being avaricious? Probably. Oh well.
2) For a pass-code replacement system, I'd love to have the option to 'only' draw a symbol and gain access--without having a huge gaping hole in security (bypassing the whole system by pushing two buttons) or the bad UX of three steps (slide, shape, code).
3) I'd love to see this replace the "Slide to Unlock" dialog as a user-configurable option--entering the shape correctly both "slides to unlock" and provides the measure of security.
EDIT: If Zokunei is correct, and enabling "skip PIN entry" blocks the bottom-right button, only allowing a shape to open the device, disregard point two (haven't tested it personally so caveat emptor).
I tried it, Android lock is better and works every time
what i mean is trying to remove the pin code feature as i only want to unlock the phone using stride
Can't find it in Cydia. Looks cool.
the pin option does not go away when set to skip pin, but when you prees the button to enter the pin, it will still ask for your set pin. so it is not a security gap

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Smolt -
Sorry; I didn't catch this post earlier. I contacted some folks I know who contacted VT on my behalf and they responded that this line has been discontinued (item# provided) and there was no data available. Based on your description it was the short head spey (vs mid and long). I requested 7, 8 and 9 which were the possible line ratings for this rod although I would tend to guess that the 8 would be the one.
Since dealers need the help clearing overstock you might find these lines for a song somewhere if you are interested. If it's too light you would have a problem; but if it's too heavy you could probably cut it back and re-splice to make a sweet little Skagit or Scandinavian style head; or cut from the middle and loop for tips, etc.
IMHO, this emphasizes the value of companies like Rio posting their grain / length information on-line.
Orvis Line for CND Custom 1308SP Rod
What weight Orvis Type 1 Short Head floating line matches well with the CND Custom 13-foot 8/9 rod? I am looking for the Orvis line weight designation rather than grain weight, though the latter would be welcome as well. I think the Orvis Short Head is akin to the SA Short Head. I posted this question on the Speypages as well, so if you have answered it there, no need to repeat your answer here. Thanks in advance for your help.

eCPPT certification and programming skills
I am new to this forum.
First of all,I would like to brief you about me.I am a CISA with 7 years of working experience:4 in Information security and audit and 3 as a windows support and network administrator.
I should add that I have very basic programming skills.
Lately,I found out about eCPPT but noticed that passing and understanding the course requires some development background.
Such fact made me think twice before applying to the course or to OSCP.
Therefore,I would really appreciate to hear or to know the opinion of someone who had similar experience.
What should I do in case i decided to take the ecppt?What are the required programming skills?what books should I read before applying to eCPPT?
NB:I am currently preparing myself to take the CEH.
Thanks for your replies

Highly recommended!
Buse is a great contact person: we arrived w/ different flights around 11 PM and she arranged a joint pickup for the ride to the apartment where she (despite the late hour) was happy to receive us and to explain everything in detail. The apartment is beautiful in an old charm way. Nice old creaky floors, great ceiling height, great views of the Bosporus and nearby town, and light from two sides of the apartment and a third aspect towards a ventilation shaft (we are two architects travelling with 3 20+ children and notice these things). It is furnished in a relaxed but useful way, sitting areas, eating area and with a bookshelf full of recent guidebooks. No need to bring your own! (BTW: the best one is by far the Time Out guide. Great articles and very useful maps. I had bought the Lonely planet one, but it really wasn't up to par. There are 3 copies in the shelf :-).
The kitchen is very well supplied w/ dishwasher and everything you will need. Since everyone praises the terrace first, I save that for last: an incredible experience and only two floors up! Also there are two: one facing southeast (Asia and the Bosporus w/ the bridge) and the other southwest with an great Sultanet view. I watched sunrises, sunsets, had meals and even a few nice cigarettes (even though I don't usually smoke anymore...) up there. It's really worth the stay by itself. The area around Golata tower is touristy of course and crowded with a selfies army, but once in the apartment you are clear of that, and within walking distance to most things to see. The apartment is very quiet, being so high up.
Highly recommended! Only negative comment would be the 5th floor location without elevator, but that didn't trouble us. Nice but a bit worn staircase with marble tile landings (cracked). Also the toilet could have been turned 90° and facing the room for better function (I'm 1,93 so it was a bit a bit jammed). To buy food I went all over the hill, only to find the best market almost below the tower (on the street that descends towards the bridge). Enjoy your stay!

We arrived in 4 people in the apartment, located next to the Gallata tower. Centrally located, it is rather spacious full-service to live in good conditions. The big plus of this apartment is the terrace which is just amazing. I highly recommend it!
Wonderful location and the apartment is superb. A lift would make things easier but otherwise, I rcommend this place. Thank you again, Buse. Pierre & his team
The apartment was spacious and really wonderful--the photos give a truthful impression of its beauty. The view from the terrace is simply terrific--in fact we skipped visiting Galata tower, as there was no point waiting in queue for a view of the city and the golden horn (and the tower itself) which we had without effort on the terrace. Buse was a very friendly and helpful host--many thanks to her. As another guest has called the appartment 'a bit worn down': I would rather say the apartment is refurbished (kitchen and bathroom are up to modern standards) without sacrificing the original character while still keeping it affordable. If you prefer a modern apartment with its Home Depot/Ikea look, there are plenty available.
Apartment had an excellent location - right by The Gelata Tower.
Hostess Buse was very accomodating and friendly. She arranged transport back to the airport for us - very reliable.
Apartment was very clean and had all the amenities that you could hope for.
Would definately stay at this apartment again on future visits to Istanbul.
Buse was great! helpful and not over bearing. she very nicely accommodated our weird flying schedule and was very clear in all her directions. Plus she gave us some very good tips for local restaurants.
The apartment was charming and well situated, and the terrace magical, Overall a really perfect experience.
this apartment is fantastic - full of character and atmosphere and in an incredible location. Look at a picture of the Galata Tower and the next roof top down is the roof top you have access to if you stay here. The views are incredible - the whole of the city is right there for you to watch the sun set over. Priceless. Buse is very lovely too. Kind and helpful and honest.
Nice apartment. A bit worn down, but really nice decor. Good communication. Fantastic rooftop terrace. It would be nice with some sun chairs and decent furniture on the terrace. That can't be to expensive, and would really heighten the experience. But the view from up there is simply the best in Istanbul.
The apartment in Beyoglu is just amazing and we can strongly recommend it to any family. The building is in a very nice area and the apartment itself is very tasteful and clean with a good bathroom and kitchen. But just stunning is the rooftop-terrace. Imagine you are having breakfast overlooking the complete city and Bosporus, or having a BBQ when the sun goes down, while the people in the Galatatower next to you (who paid 16 Liras and where in a queue for an hour) are observing you with great envy!
Buse as a host was fantastic, she realy took care, everything was 100% ok and as agreed, and she arranged the best taxi-driver in Istanbul. Tessekur ederim!
The appartment is great! Good location near by nice restaurants and shops. Best place to stay!

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.

There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
An essential part of every baby's care is diapering. Until a child is toilet-trained, usually by 3 years of age, diapers are used to collect urine and bowel movements. It is estimated that a baby uses six to 10 diapers each day - this translates to about 2,000 to 3,000 diapers each year. With so many diaper changes, parents want to know how to make this task quicker and easier.
Generally, there are two choices—cloth or disposable—and each type has advantages and disadvantages. There is no clear answer as to which is best. Parents need to decide what works best for their individual baby and family. Many families choose to use some of both. Listed below are some of the pros and cons of each type of diaper.
New parents often feel awkward trying to diaper a squirming baby. It can be frustrating not knowing how to hold the baby or where to place the diaper the first few times. However, it does not take long to get comfortable changing a diaper, and most parents get plenty of practice.
Here are some tips to help you diaper your baby comfortably and correctly:
While this sounds very technical, it does not take long to change a diaper once you have done it several times. Some special tips to remember when changing a diaper include:
Some diaper rashes are caused by a yeast called Candida Albicans, which often causes problems when a baby already has a diaper rash, is on antibiotics, or has thrush. This rash appears bright red and raw, covers large areas, and is surrounded by red spots. Call your baby's physician for a special cream to treat this rash, and follow the guidelines above. With proper treatment these rashes usually improve in two to three days. Call your baby's physician if:
Most babies will get a diaper rash at some time. Their bottoms are in frequent contact with moisture, bacteria, and ammonia, and there is rubbing from the diaper. Babies and toddlers are at risk as long as they are wearing diapers. Rashes are much easier to prevent than to cure. Many rashes can be treated by the following:
Changing the diaper immediately and good cleaning are the best things you can do. Diaper rashes occur equally with cloth diapers and disposables diapers. Some children will get a rash from certain brands of disposable diapers, or from sensitivity to some soaps used in cloth diapers. If you use cloth diapers, bleach them by adding Clorox., Borax., or Purex. to the wash. Be sure to rinse the diaper thoroughly.
Babies wet their diapers with urine several times a day. The number of wet diapers is a helpful sign of how much fluid the baby is taking in. Although it is sometimes hard to tell when a disposable diaper is wet, generally, a baby should have at least seven wet diapers each day. Fewer wet diapers can mean the baby may not be taking in enough fluid.
Normally, a baby's urine is clear and yellow-tinged. Changes in the odor and color may indicate a problem. Dark yellow or even pinkish color urine may mean the baby is not getting enough fluid.
Call your baby's physician if you have concerns about how often or how much your baby is wetting diapers.
The first bowel movement of a newborn is called meconium. This is a sticky, greenish-black substance that forms in the intestines during fetal development. The baby may have several meconium bowel movements before this substance is completely gone from the baby's system. The next bowel movements are seedy-looking and are greenish-yellow. Breastfed babies usually have frequent bowel movements, sometimes with every feeding, and even some in-between. These bowel movements are often loose, yellow, and seedy. Formula-fed babies have thicker bowel movements that are more beige in color.
Occasionally, babies become constipated. This rarely happens in breastfed babies. Firm or formed stools, that occur only once a day or less than once a day, may mean a baby is constipated. A baby may strain or fuss with constipation.
Very runny or watery bowel movements, especially if there is distinct change, may mean the baby has diarrhea. You should contact your baby's physician if this occurs.
Consult your baby's physician about your baby's bowel movements and their frequency and appearance.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

Luther's uptempo style a success this season
ONALASKA, Wis. - The Luther basketball team has hustled their way to some recognition throughout the Coulee Region. "Its fun to get on the map a little bit," says senior guard Christian Kennedy.
An uptempo run and gun style of play has helped the Knights to a 15-2 overall record and to the top of the Coulee Conference standings. It's a style of play head coach Brad Schaper envisioned when evaluating this season's roster. "We try to push the basketball as hard and as fast as we possibly can."
The Knights can maintain that pace in part because of their incredibly deep bench. "I have 12 kids on our team right now that I can put in at anytime and our level doesn't drop when they go in," says Schaper.18314468
"After about 2 or 3 minutes of going hard, then we have guys come in and fill our spots and play defense and still do the same things we're doing. It really helps us out a lot," adds Kennedy.
Luther's uptempo offense actually begins on defense, where the Knights are trying to pressure their way to their first Coulee Conference Championship since 1996.
"We love to play full court pressure. We wear other players out by making them play the full length of the court," Schaper says.
With the emergence of Luther in the state rankings this season (number-10 in Division 4 in this week's poll), the Knights have found a way to steal some headlines playing just 5 blocks down on Wilson Street from the number-one ranked Onalaska Hilltoppers.
"Its been kind of fun to have this Wilson Street basketball thing going here."
