Can my Nose Be Done with Non Sergury Nose Job?

Can my Nose Be Done with Non Surgery Nose Job?
A big round nose is usually better addressed with a rhinoplasty than a filler. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs HUNDREDS of rhinoplasties each year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Wide nose and non-surgical treatment?
Minor irregularities can be treated with filler. As for a wide bulbous tip, a rhinoplasty perhaps confined to the tip is all that you need.
Wide nose rhinoplasty
Injection of fillers will only make the nose bigger, wider and larger. A reduction rhinoplasty involves narrowing the bridge, hump, tip, and reducing the overall width of the nose. Please see the link below for examples of how we have narrowed a wide nose. Virtual Rhinoplasty Software is also available our website for you to get an idea of what your nose might look like.

Schoolboy Q had a rough night in Denver on Thursday. Early into his sold out show at the Ogden Theatre, someone threw an object at the rapper and hit him in the chest. Without warning he hopped off stage (still holding the microphone) and went to confront the culprit. Security scrambled to separate Schoolboy Q and the alleged thrower. After the tussle was broken up, Schoolboy called the individual a few choice names and said "whoever threw that, I hope your mother dies tonight." His sentiment was met with boos, which prompted him to repeat himself as he continued with the set. The whole interaction was filmed by a Denver concertgoer, which you can watch above.
Before the incident, a sluggish Schoolboy Q took the stage in a white t-shirt and signature bucket hat. The set started out slow as the crowd waited for material from his newest release "Oxymoron." The Top Dawg Entertainment rapper was just starting to warm up during "What You Want" when the confrontation took place. And once he got back to performing, the entire ordeal had already ruined what could have been an excellent performance of "Break the Bank" and "Gangsta." As he struggled through his set, the audience's energy was low — clearly rattled from the fight. The rapper even threatened to go back to his bus if the mood didn't pick up.
He continued on through "Hell of a Night," a snippet of "Studio," the always epic "Collard Greens," and strangely, the entire first verse of Kendrick Lamar's "M.A.A.D City." By this time the crowd was back with him and he sailed through "Man of the Year" with gusto.
After exiting the stage Schoolboy Q returned for an encore of "Prescription/Oxymoron," but it was clear he preferred water and likely the solitude of his tour companions. He bid Denver the most curt adieu and vanished back stage.

New York, NY, United States, 2008/09/05 - Thomas Shattan and Gregory Mendel are pleased to announce that they arranged financing for the recent acquisition of Global Connection Inc. of America by two Private Equity Firms -- L6 Holdings Corporation and Milestone Partners.
In the Spring of 2008, when Dan Lonergan, Managing Partner of L6 Holdings, a firm which invests in direct marketing and business services companies, identified Global as an attractive acquisition opportunity, and was looking for a like-minded capital partner, he turned to Shattan and Mendel for guidance and assistance. They quickly identified Milestone Partners as an ideal partner. Milestone Partners is a lower middle market private equity group, currently investing out of Milestone Partners III, which specializes in recapitalizing family owned businesses. Shortly thereafter, the two firms sponsored the acquisition, together with Globals Chief Executive Officer.
"Because Shattan and Mendel are so experienced in this marketplace, they knew exactly what to do quickly, and delivered me a value-added partner," said Lonergan.
Global Connection is a leading direct marketer of prepaid wireline home phone services, primarily for low-income consumers with poor credit. Based in Atlanta, Global serves over 30,000 customers and is licensed as a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) in 31 states. Global distributes its products through approximately 1,700 grocery chain locations and over 1,100 other payment centers, such as check cashers.

Interrogation is second for man who fathered children of pregnant woman missing from Canton
Joe Milicia
The Associated Press
CANTON — For the second time in three days, investigators searched the home of a Canton police officer who fathered the son and unborn daughter of a woman who went missing, leaving the 2-year-old boy home alone.
Sheriff's deputies blocked off about a 100-yard stretch of the street in front of Bobby Cutts Jr.'s house as FBI agents and deputies carried more than a dozen white cardboard boxes, a few brown bags and three large black plastic bags out of the home and loaded them into a truck.
Cutts' mother, Renee Horne, told The Repository that agents served a search warrant and were looking for a quilt from the home of Jessie Davis, who was last heard from on June 13. Horne said investigators also were looking for the woman's cell phone.
Two-year-old Blake Davis told investigators: "Mommy was crying. Mommy broke the table. Mommy's in rug." Investigators believe he may have been referring to a comforter missing from the home.
Horne said FBI agents questioned her son twice Wednesday, and read him his Miranda rights during the second interview. Investigators also took Cutts' two cell phones, Horne said.
Investigators have said they have no suspects and that Cutts has cooperated.
Also Wednesday, a volunteer search group announced that the sheriff's department and FBI have agreed to allow them to look for the 26-year-old Davis beginning this morning in the area around her home in rural Lake Township.
At Cutts' home Wednesday evening, neighbors sat on their lawns and gathered in the street, watching as a dozen FBI agents and sheriff's deputies spent more than three hours in the search. Upon their departure several people, who appeared to be friends or family members, entered the home.
Reporters approached the house after authorities left and a man who identified himself as Cutts' father opened the door and told reporters to get off the property. Three private property, no trespassing signs were posted in the front yard and a woman shouted from an upstairs window to reporters who lingered on the lawn that she planned to call police.
Cutts, 30, told The Repository he had nothing to do with Davis' disappearance and that he has slept little and had no appetite since she vanished.
"The last five days have been a nightmare. It won't end," Cutts told the newspaper on Tuesday.
While law enforcement hadn't announced any further searches, a volunteer group, Texas EquuSearch, planned to use community helpers, sonar equipment and a 2½-pound drone airplane equipped with a camera in the nose to search Thursday for Davis.
"We're holding onto that hope that maybe she's still alive out there and that would be the greatest thing in the world, but realistically we know after a period of time that that normally doesn't happen," said Tim Miller, the group's director.
Davis, due to deliver July 3, hasn't been heard from since a phone call with her mother Patricia Porter. She was reported missing Friday when Porter found her grandson, his diaper dirty, alone at Davis' house, some furniture askew. A pool of bleach was on the bedroom floor, and the contents of Davis' purse were scatted in the kitchen. Along with the comforter, her cell phone was missing.
On its Web site, the FBI lists the case as a kidnapping. But FBI spokesman Scott Wilson in Cleveland said the label is standard whenever foul play is a possibility, and the agency doesn't know if Davis was abducted or not.
The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to Davis' whereabouts. EquuSearch added a $5,000 reward.
A legal order allowed investigators to get some of Davis' cell phone records, which are being reviewed, Stark County sheriff's Chief Deputy Rick Perez said at a news conference Wednesday.
Authorities also said Wednesday that DNA tests would not be finished until next week on a newborn baby girl left on a porch about 45 miles away from Davis' home. Authorities are trying to determine if the infant, less than 24 hours old when it was found Monday evening in Wooster, is related to Davis. A bottle and can of formula left in the basket with the newborn were sent for testing for fingerprints or any other evidence.
Cutts, who also has two children with his wife, Kelly, said he and his wife are separated but have not filed for divorce and that she knew he had a relationship with Davis.
He said he last spoke with Davis at 8 p.m. on June 13, about 90 minutes before she last spoke with her mother.
Miller and Texas EquuSearch asked volunteers to gather near a church by Davis' home at 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
"We're probably looking at somewhat of a miracle in this case. We also know if that person is deceased out there it's very important we find them as quickly as we can find them so they can determine cause of death," said Miller, who has worked on hundreds of missing persons cases, including the disappearance of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway of Alabama, reported missing in Aruba in 2005.
Davis's younger sister, Whitney Davis, said EquuSearch's involvement comes as a relief to their family.
"They're going to help us find Jessie, hopefully, bring her back safe," she said.

Smith knew nothing about Ferguson move
Walter Smith: Angry about more than his players
Everton have admitted that manager Walter Smith was kept in the dark about Duncan Ferguson's move to Newcastle.
He is believed to be angry that a statement saying as much was not issued over the weekend, after agreeing with chairman Peter Johnson that this would be done on Friday.
Speculation had grown that the Scottish manager was considering his position if what most fans suspected was not confirmed to them.
But Johnson, who is believed to be trying to find a buyer for his 60% holding in the club, has stopped short of an apology to his manager.
It remains to be seen whether the exact wording of the statement is enough to satisfy Smith.
It makes it clear that manager Smith was not told details of the talks until after last Monday's match, in which Everton beat Newcastle 1-0.
The key point of the document says: "A substantial offer for Ferguson was received from Newcastle which was discussed with that club's representatives immediately before and during the course of last Monday's game.
"Their discussions resulted in an agreement being reached at the time.
"Unfortunately, details of these discussions were not passed to Walter Smith during the course of the game and it is regretted that he learned of the final agreement reached regarding Duncan Ferguson in the manner he did subsequent to the conclusion of the match."
He is believed to have had angry talks with Johnson after the game last Monday and again at a board meeting the following day.
It is believed that other directors persuaded Smith not to walk out there and then.
But the argument has been simmering ever since and has not been helped by claims from the Newcastle end that Smith knew more about the transfer than was being claimed.
The statement adds: "In light of the many comments, some highly speculative, currently being made regarding Duncan Ferguson's transfer to Newcastle, both chairman and manager felt the following statement should be issued on a joint basis."
Agreement to listen to offers
The club says that "having spent Ł20m on six new players" Johnson told Smith he would have "to sell players to return the squad to reasonable proportions".
In addition it says the pair agreed that any future offer for Ferguson would be given serious consideration after a "substantial" offer was turned down earlier in the season.
"The club then became aware of Newcastle's interest and events started to move rapidly last Monday evening," the statement added.
Johnson clearly feels the speed timing of the offer meant Smith was otherwise engaged on team affairs while the talks were taking place.
But the manager is clearly still angry that he could not have been involved even when discussions were taking place after the match between Johnson, Newcastle officials and their manager Ruud Gullit.
If there is still a difference of opinion it may be resolved by the chairman leaving before the manager.

Non-OEM gloss optimizer for Epson R1900/R2000
BrightGuy wrote:
I recently purchased the Inkjetfly pigmented inks for the Epson R2000 and I am very satisfied with them except for the gloss optimizer. The inkset consists of color inks made by Inkjetfly, Inkjetfly V3 Photo Black and Matte Black made by Image Specialists. The ink droplets spread on paper a bit more than the OEM-inks, but the minimal diference is only seen by a close inspection. The gamut is a little worse at an end and a little better at another, overall similar. The Dmax also. The bronzing and gloss differential is lower than the OEM inks. The problem is its gloss optimizer. It seems to cause bleeding to the darker tones so the contrast becomes narrower and the image somewhat blurred. There's also an overall yellow cast, compared to the print without the GO. I never mixed these inks with OEM gloss optimizer, but I strongly suspect there's something wrong with IJF GO. If something is printed without GO and then a blank sheet with GO over the already printed image, the final results is a very fine image (without blurring, bleeding or cast), but with some paper roller marks.
So, does anyone know a better non-OEM gloss optimizer for R1900/R2000 that wouldn't produce blurred images nor would be susceptible to paper roller marks? OCP, Image Specialists, Conecolor, or any off-brand GO?
NO the problem is not in the GLOP although it is a contributor. The problem are the inks themselves. NONE of the available 3rd party inks for the R2000 will EVER provide you with the original even gloss as with OEM inks. The magenta, red and orange ink are specially MATTE in their gloss. That's why I bought me about 25 sets of OEM carts from EBAY at about $15 to 25 a set.
Inkjrtfly, Inkjetcarts, Image Specialists, and everything also including OCP ( Germany ) will NOT touch OEM. Though OCP GLOP is a lot better than anything available in the USA, good luck getting it. I had a European friend send me a liter of it and though it does help, I still fall back on my OEM inks for the R2000.

Jordan's Audio Visual Commission Monitors Radio and TV Broadcasts With Volicon Observer(R) System Multichannel Monitoring Capability and Rapid Access to Stored Content Combine to Simplify and Speed AVC Investigation of Comp
Volicon today announced that the Audio Visual Commission (AVC) of Jordan is using the Observer(R) digital video monitoring and logging system to ensure that radio and satellite television broadcasters maintain compliance with AVC directives. Supplied to the governmental authority by Modern Systems and Computer Trade (MSCT), Volicon's representative in Jordan, the Observer system performs continuous monitoring and recording of aired content to enable AVC's rapid investigation of comments or complaints.
"With the Observer system, we have realized significant improvements to our monitoring operations," said Herant Malekyan, director of engineering at AVC. "Our staff can review many channels on a single screen and, when necessary, access suspect content in a very short time, so we've seen efficiency gains. The capacity of the Observer system also has proved valuable, as the large cache of recorded content gives us the flexibility to investigate possible infractions over a much longer period."
The Volicon Observer family of products captures, stores, and indexes broadcast content from multiple channels, offering users 24/7 access to video from their desktop computers. AVC's Observer system records 40 satellite channels and 16 radio (FM) channels, preserving at least 30 days of content for review. Using the Observer's intuitive, streamlined interface, AVC staff can quickly dial back to the subject of the complaint and investigate the matter.
The Observer system replaces an older system that was limited in the number of channels it could record, the amount of content it could capture and store, and the speed with which it provided audio and video for review. In an effort to help AVC address these issues, MSCT introduced the Volicon Observer system and facilitated system design, installation, and training.
The award-winning Observer family of real-time digital video monitoring and logging solutions is based on Volicon's patented Video Monitoring Network (VMN) architecture. VMN comprises a multichannel video streaming engine; content analytics; and interactive search, service monitoring, and alarm capabilities. More information about Volicon and the company's Observer products is available at www.volicon.com.

Labor kingmaker and numbers man
Like a John Farnham "farewell" tour, Premier Kristina Keneally's Fairness for Families bus tour never really ends. Announcing fresh tour dates for the second time yesterday, KK will take her charm offensive on wheels back to the Hunter Valley today to drum up support for threatened Labor MPs. Among them is Tourism Minister
The fifth instalment of NSW Labor's civic-minded "O'Farrell Watch" updates broke news of BOF's new deal to preference Reverend Fred Nile's Christian Democratic Party in the upper house yesterday. The Coalition will need the support of four minority party MPs in the upper house to pass and change laws. Labor MP Luke Foley said this new-found friendship spelled death to "social progress and environmental protection" and public service job cuts.
While he's not quite in NSW Treasurer Eric Roozendaal's league – the Liberals have launched a "Where's Roozy?" website to play up his conspicuous absence on the campaign trail, circulating a sighting "in Double Bay sipping a latte" yesterday afternoon – Transport Minister

I finally broke down and bought a crock pot. I can actually technically say crock pot, since crock pot is a proprietary term coined by Rival, the company who started the craze back in 1971, and that's the brand I've got in my meaty clutches. I had very little desire for one of these contraptions until we had a horrendous week-long heat wave in Seattle last July. Since it's Seattle and we hold steady in the temperate high 70's for most of the summer, no one owns an air conditioner. Consequently when the heat wave hit, everyone was ducking for cover in malls, lakes, pools, even staying late and arriving early at the office each day since a/c is like a mandate in the corporate office building world.
One of the most crippling aspects of the heat wave for me was not being able to turn on my range or oven without upping the house temperature to a cool 115 degrees. I survived for a couple of days eating things like AHI POKE and ceviche, but there comes a time when a girl needs a roasted chicken, damnit! In a rare stroke of genius, I borrowed a slow-cooker from a neighbor one night, plugged it in outside (against manufacturer recommendations) and slowly simmered a chuck roast in barbecue juices. The next morning I pulled the meat apart and we had awesome barbecued beef sliders with no need to reheat for the next few days. Ever since then, my estimation of the slow cooker has gone way up. I confess to feelings of superiority toward the appliance in question prior to that time, but it practically saved my life this fateful summer, so my feelings dissipated into a healthy longing that I've just now satisfied. I think all my animosity came from some notion that slow-cookers were an anathema from the culinary generation I most reviled; one that popularized microwaves, tv dinners and all things instant. I've since amended my estimation, why here I am caressing one with all the tenderness of a new mama.
I decided my first big project with my new crock pot should be pulled pork because, in the spirit of embracing new things, I've also recently begun to eat pork after a 28 year hiatus. I'm 31 now if that gives you a clearer indication of how long it's been. After an ingredient-finding forage at the local Whole Foods where I learned that pork butt is apparently referred to as pork shoulder so as to make it sound more appetizing (you see, there's a reason I didn't eat the stuff for so long!) I tucked into my swine recipe with reckless abandon. I modified an old standby barbecued chicken recipe to accommodate for my perception of the taste differences in chicken and pork, and below is what I came up with. Since I made these babies less than a week ago, I've had requests from three separate folks at the dinner party for the recipe, so I'm going to chalk them up as a success. Homemade Kaiser rolls make all the difference in the world. It's getting to the point where I won't eat a burger without fresh hot buns straight from the oven, and once you taste these puffy darlings, you'll know just what I mean. The recipe is one I've tweaked and perfected over time to my own preferences. I'd suggest making it verbatim at least once before you decide to change things up too much.
Kaiser Rolls (without the poppy seeds and funny shaped tops)
- 1 lb self-rising flour (can use all purpose too, but I like the puffiness with this flour better)
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- ½ teaspoon active dry yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- 1.5 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp barley malt syrup
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 whole egg
- 1 egg white
- 1 ¼ c water
- Combine all dry ingredients in bowl of standing mixer except active dry yeast and .5 tsp sugar. Dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in 1/c c warm water until slightly fermented. Give the dry ingredients a few spins with the dough hook to combine them, then add water, eggs, butter and active dry yeast mixture.
- Knead on medium setting of mixer for about five minutes, scraping down bowl and adding flour if necessary. The dough is not a dry dough, but you don't want it so wet it sticks to everything either. Once you have achieved evenly distributed dough, grease a large bowl and put the dough in it covered by a tea towel. Leave it to rise in a warm spot in the kitchen for one hour.
- Punch down the dough, and allow to rise for an additional hour.
- Form the dough into 12 small, even sized balls. You can make more or less depending on the size you want your rolls, but adjust the cooking time if you deviate too much so as not to end up with burned buns. Let the balls rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes.
- To shape the balls, flatten into a disc and pull the outer edges of the disc under the middle so that the middle becomes the top of the roll and place the formed balls on a baking sheet. Cover and let rise one final hour.
- Preheat the oven to 450° and put a shallow pan of water on the lower rack so that there is steam in the oven to assist in baking. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning once during baking.
Pulled Pork
- 1/3 c ketchup (I prefer to make it myself)
- 1/3 c cider vinegar
- 1/3 c Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp colemans mustard
- 1 tsp Hungarian paprika
- 10 whole cloves (you can put them into a tea strainer or cheesecloth, otherwise you'll want to fish them out prior to serving)
- ¼ c brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- ½ tsp liquid smoke
- 1 small chili pepper halved but kept intact
- 16 oz Dr Pepper
- 1 medium onion quartered
- 3 lb pork butt (or shoulder as it's more commonly known)
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- Put all ingredients into the crock pot except pork butt, salt and pepper and cornstarch. Rinse and pat dry pork butt and generously salt and pepper. Whisk ingredients gently to combine, but not so vigorously that the pepper seeds infiltrate everything. Add pork butt and cook on high 4-5 hours.
- Remove pork butt from liquid when it is fork tender and pull it apart down to shredded pieces with two forks. Discard any fat or bones. Fish out the cloves and the chili pepper from the liquid mixture. Mix the cornstarch with ¼ c liquid mixture then whisk it back into the mixture. Return the pulled pork to the crockpot and cook on high another 30 minutes to thicken sauce and combine flavors. Serve on Kaiser rolls with cheese, homemade mayonnaise and a tear of lettuce.

Jeanette U. Eckman, 83, a resident of Little Falls, passed away Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2013, at Highland Senior Living in Little Falls.
Funeral services were held Saturday, Oct. 12, at the Shelley Funeral Chapel in Little Falls. Burial will take place at the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery at a later date.
Jeanette (Zimmerman) Eckman was born May 22, 1930, in Albany, to Ferdinand and Zita (Klein) Zimmerman. She attended catholic grade school and graduated from Albany High School in 1948. Upon graduation she moved to Minneapolis where she worked as a telephone operator for, as she liked to call it, "Ma Bell." She then moved to Little Falls and continued working for the phone company and where she met her husband Raphael (Ray) Eckman. They were married Aug. 20, 1951, in Camp Rucker, Ala., where he was stationed during the Korean War. Jeanette loved to read and passed that passion on to her children by reading thousands of hours to them when they were little. She enjoyed doing crossword puzzles and completed them daily as long as anyone can remember. She was an avid bird watcher and was always excited to record a "new" sighting. She also loved flowers and the big spring event was picking out the annuals for the flower beds, barrels and hanging baskets. She also loved to cook and was adventurous. Making egg rolls and won tons after sampling takeout Chinese was one example. Family holiday dinners were events that were talked about frequently.
Jeanette was preceded in death by her firstborn, Patrick (Renee Boicourt), in 2003 and a stepgrandson, Jesse (Lisa) Rund in 2007.
She is survived by her husband Ray Eckman; children, Beverly (Stan) Rund of Elbow Lake, James Eckman of Little Falls and Aimee (Joanna Stevens) Eckman of Eastham, Mass.; grandchildren, Lucas, Katrina and Anna Eckman; Johanna Vosen; Alehna (Zach) Albachten, Jordan and Collin Eckman; and Emma Eckman Stevens. She also has one step-granddaughter, Allison (Chad) Bagby of Des Moines; and two stepgreat-grandchildren, Nicole Bagby and Alayna Rund.
Special thanks to Highland Senior Living and Unity Hospice for their loving care.

KPS Board Approves Pay Increases
The Kearney Public School Board has unanimously approved pay raises for staff and administration. The raises will take effect for the 2013-2014 school year.
The people affected by the raises include staff and administration, as well as hourly workers.
KPS finance director Chris Nelson said because of the current economy and keeping up with rising costs, the hourly workers are entitled to get up to a 4 percent increase.
Those worker salaries are anywhere from around $8.88 to $23.83 an hour in the KPS system. Some board members had doubts about raising the salaries.
"We don't know for sure what the state-aid will be, so this new negotiation process for someone who works in finance -- it's a little stressful not knowing for sure," said board member Jon Watts.
The administration raises will be based on performance goals and standards based on evaluations by Superintendent Dr. Brian Maher.
"There are a number of factors that go into whether or not members of our administration will get 3.3 percent, or lower, or higher, based on that evaluation," said Maher.

Mel Gibson is once again up to his neck in controversy (or as Mel calls it, Thursday), and while he's trying to dig himself out of this latest one, he and Fox Home Entertainment are prepping to unleash Gibson's latest, "Get The Gringo". The film used to be called "How I Spent My Summer Vacation", which I personally think is a much better title, especially for a Mel Gibson movie. It's so … Mel Gibson-y. In any case, check out a new revised trailer and new batch of images from the movie below.
It's been a bad day for Driver (Gibson) and it's not getting any better. He just made a big haul of millions that would give him a nice summer vacation on easy street. A good idea that went south — literally. During a high-speed car chase with the US Border Patrol, and a bleeding body in his back seat, Driver flips his car smashing through the border wall, tumbling violently, coming to a stop … in Mexico. Apprehended by the Mexican authorities, he is sent to a hard-core prison where he enters the strange and dangerous world of "El Pueblito", the worst prison in all of Mexico. Not an easy place for an outsider such as Driver to survive, unless it's with the help of someone who knows the ropes – a 10 year-old kid.
Also starring Peter Stormare, Dean Norris, Bob Gunton, Scott Cohen, Patrick Bauchau, Kevin Hernandez, and directed by Adrian Grunberg.
"Get the Gringo" arrives on DIRECTV on May 1st, followed by a wide release on Blu-ray, DVD, VOD and digital download later this year.
Four of the new images below. See the rest in our "Get The Gringo" preview page.

China Mobile Earnings Beat Forecasts
China Mobile Ltd (NYSE: CHL, HKG: 0941), the world's biggest wireless carrier by subscribers, posted net profit up 1.5% year on year to 63.1 billion yuan for 1H 2013, slightly beating expectations. Revenue was up 10.4% to 303.1 billion yuan. China Mobile is the only one of the 3 Chinese carriers that has not sealed an iPhone deal as its 3G network is not compatible with existing iPhone chips. Talks with Apple Inc (Nasdaq: AAPL) are underway and both sides are eager to reach an agreement on the iPhone, China Mobile chairman Xi Guohua said, declining to reveal details. China Mobile's capital expenditure was 57 billion yuan in 1H 2013, less than 1/3 of its annual budget of 190.2 billion yuan, China Mobile vice president Liu Aili said, adding that the majority of the money will go to the construction of the 4G network in 2H 2013.
Chinalco to Buy Peruvian Mine from Glencore
Chinalco Mining Corp International (HKG: 3668) is close to hiring Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE: GS) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) to advise it on buying the Peruvian copper mine from Glencore Xstrata Plc, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter. The deal could be worth about $5 billion, according to the sources. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley declined to comment. Baar, Switzerland-based Glencore said it hired BMO Capital Markets Ltd and Credit Suisse Group AG (NYSE: CS) as financial advisers. It also said the Peruvian copper mine known as Las Bambas will cost $5.2 billion to develop and that it is scheduled to produce 400,000 tons of copper annually from 2015. The people with knowledge of the deal said Chinalco Mining, which had a debt-to-equity ratio of 77% at the end of June 2013, might seek bank loans should it go ahead with a bid. Chinalco Mining is the listed copper unit of Aluminum Corp of China Ltd (NYSE: ACH, HKG: 2600, SHA: 601600).

Gome Steps Up Expansion in Smaller Cities
Gome Electrical Appliances Holding Ltd (HKG: 0493), China's second largest consumer electronics retailer by revenue, said it plans to have 80% of its new openings in 2013 take place in tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Revenue from these cities have grown 40% annually in recent years and currently account for 20-30% of Gome's total revenue.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
I am very impressed with all of the work it sounds like you have done on yourself. You have come a long way in managing your mental health. Keep being as honest as you can with your friend. Be aware of the warning signs that your anxiety and insecurity is being triggered. Take one incident and go backwards writing down what was going on and what your feelings and thoughts were. Go slowly backwards until you hit the point that you are feeling OK and calm. Then mark the early warning signs that you are heading for trouble. Come up with multiple ways to cope, alternative behaviors. The earlier you try to intervene the easier it will be for you. Enlist the help of your friend. Telling her what you are doing, if you need to take a break from talking being together do that for a short time, like a 5 minute bathroom break to collect yourself. It may be a good time for you to get into therapy to look at these relationship issues. I am guessing that you have been in therapy in the past. This may be the next layer for you. You are now ready to deal with these deeper issues. I admire your motivation to have a healthy relationship, do whatever it takes to reach that goal. You deserve it.
Please respond, I would like to hear your comments
I am talking to her still. She loves unconditionally and not just me. And I question it almost at every turn. She spends so much time talking with men online. I prefer to have full attention. And I'd rather not speak than to compete for her focus. Yet she spends most of her time with me. She is willing to help me with my phobias. She thinks she can help everyone she speaks with. And she probably could. She speaks of her male friends all the time. How they make her feel good and share favorite songs. It's odd. I feel special at times and simply a convenience at other times. I feel jealous and selfish when I am around her. It's an untenable situation as she is being gregarious and I am being possessive. The tables have turned on me this time. Although she is almost a decade younger than me, she seems to be the teacher.
From what you are describing, she is giving you some reasons to be unsure. It is normal to feel some jealousy when someone you care about is giving attention to someone else, especially when they are of opposite sexes. Don't discount your feelings or your wisdom. Don't attribute everything to your anxiety. Some may be that but not all of it. Trust yourself. Have a discussion with her about relationship expectations. How does she envision a relationship, how do you envision one? What are your expectations? Your relationship is new and these are things to figure out between the two of you. It is not all one person's way or the other.
Thank you for the encouragement to trust myself. We spoke again for a long time yesterday. I am working on trusting her as the fear seems to come from a previous deep relationship. I was open about feeling jealousy, being upset, feeling nervous, and not being trusting. She was dismayed at first and wanted to run. But she stayed as I explained that my feelings were not justified by her actions. That I am grateful for her patience. And that I take everything she feels seriously, sometimes to seriously. We set expectations as you suggested as best we could at this point but will discuss more later. She does give me the most attention and gives me examples of how she deflects others when I am around. I think I really need to work on my trust issues. How do I go about that?
I recommend that you are explore what your thoughts are around trusting people. When you start to feel insecure and jealous, what exactly are the thoughts you are having? Write them all down, look for themes. A theme may be that you believe you are unloveable or you may believe that people always leave you. Be thorough in dissecting these thoughts. Realize that they are probably irrational, especially in your current relationship. List the evidence that shows these thoughts are irrational, not grounded in fact. When you start to feel untrusting, tell yourself to stop the irrational thoughts you are having and focus on the facts in your relationship. You will also need to do some counter thoughts on the irrational belief you have, whatever it may be. Make a list of neutral thoughts, I deserve to be treated nicely or I am likeable. Say these beliefs to yourself many times throughout the day. If you continue to be stuck, consider individual therapy to assist you in moving forward. Good luck to you!
Thank you

"Real Housewives of New Jersey": TV Recap
This week, the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" explored the issue of inequality.
Specifically, housewife Teresa was born without breasts. She says her cup size is "minus-A" and decides she wants to rectify the situation with implants even though her husband is "an ass guy," as she so eloquently reveals.
But, OMG, housewife Dina has the opposite problem. She is married to a boob-lover, and has had implants twice—the first time saline, the second time, silicone—yet longs for the halcyon days when she was less top-heavy. "They're annoying…They're obnoxious," says Dina of her breasts. She warns Teresa not to "go too big" because "it's a fine line between tasteful and tacky." (Ultimately, Teresa decides to "Go big or go home" as they say in the Midwest, and gets a C-cup.)

Ursuline avenges prior losses to FW Nolan; now in TAPPS state final
HOUSTON — Freshman Madison Haley did all the scoring as Ursuline defeated Fort Worth Nolan, 3-0, in a TAPPS Division I girls soccer state semifinal Friday at Awty International School.
Ursuline will try to win its 24th consecutive state title at 3 p.m. Saturday. The Bears have won all 13 state tournament contests against Nolan.
The loss was just the second in 31 games for Nolan (24-2-5), which had swept the district series against Ursuline (12-7-4).
Friday's game was scoreless until the 63rd minute, when Haley played a ball while going to the ground that bounced over the head of the Nolan goalkeeper.
Haley struck again in the 74th minute, establishing position in the middle and converting a crossing pass from teammate Kate Hajdu. Ursuline added its final goal three minutes later when Haley beat the goalie to a loose ball and chipped it in.
Bishop Lynch girls 2, Plano John Paul II 1 (2 OT)
Bishop Lynch used a penalty kick goal from Allison Gantner with three minutes left in the second overtime to win a TAPPS Division I semifinal.
Lynch took the lead in the eighth minute when Kaycie Tillman scored off a crossing pass from Taylor Haynes. John Paul II tied the score when Madison Haubner scored on a free kick in the 64th minute, then gained a man advantage when Lynch drew a red card 10 minutes later.
Lynch gained the deciding edge when Tillman was tripped inside the goal box, producing the penalty kick.
John Paul had fewer offensive chances, but remained in contention with a number of good saves by goalkeeper Kendall Wermine.
TCA-Addison boys 2, Laredo St. Augustine 1
Blake Troiani scored the game-winning goal off a free kick in the 47th minute, and Jack Savage also scored as TCA-Addison won a TAPPS Division I semifinal.
Central Catholic 2, Fort Worth Nolan 1 (2 OT)
Danny Fleming scored a golden goal in the second overtime with 1:07 remaining to send San Antonio Central Catholic into the championship round against TCA-Addison.
Colleyville Covenant Christian 2, Houston Cypress Christian 1
Matthew Schwebke scored with less than two minutes left to give Colleyville Covenant the TAPPS Division III state championship. It was the second consecutive state title for Colleyville Covenant, which defeated Cypress Christian, 4-0, in the 2013 final.
Cypress had defended the last of four successive corner kicks taken by Covenant, only to see a clearance attempt roll out to Schwebke. The senior midfielder scored from 20 yards out.
Cody Callahan gave Cypress a 1-0 lead with a goal off a corner kick in the 12th minute. Brooks Friedman tied the score in the opening minute of the second half when he pounced on a loose ball and bounced it over the head of the Cypress keeper.

Finance teaching and research after the global financial crisis revisited
Almost a year ago, I wrote a paper on finance teaching and research after the global financial crisis (see this blog post). A revised version of this paper has been published in the latest issue of Vikalpa. The only significant change in the published version is that the portion dealing with learning from related disciplines has been expanded and rewritten. Most of the other changes were only to improve readability and clarity. As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.

JOHN B. MASTERS is a descendant of some of the earliest pioneer families of Illinois, and is one of the native-born citizens of this State who has materially assisted in its agricultural development. For many years he was actively identified with the farmers of this county, owning and managing very profitably a large and well-improved farm. January 8, 1825, is the date of the birth of our subject in the pioneer home of his parents, fifteen miles northeast of the city of Jacksonville, in Morgan County. His father was William I. Masters, a native of South Carolina whose father is thought to have been born in wales or to have been a native of this country, but of Welsh parentage. He spent his last years in the Palmetto State, after having served faithfully as a soldier during the Revolution.
William I. Masters grew to manhood in his native State, and when about twenty-five years of age emigrated to Illinois in 1817 in the Territorial days of the State, accompanying a neighboring family hither, the removal being made with a team. He first settled for a time in Sangamon County, but after marriage took up his abode on a forty-acre tract of Government land in Morgan County. Someone unknown to him entered the land, and being thus deprived of his claim in 1827 he located on Government land that lay on both sides of the line between Morgan and Macoupin Counties. That part of his homestead in this county was situated in what is now North Palmyra Township and he was one of the pioneer settlers of this section, building a log house on the Morgan County side of the line. Not a nail entered the construction of that dwelling, and he rived the shingles by hand for the roof, hewed puncheon for a floor, split boards for the door, which was provided with wooden hinges, and the chimney was made with sticks and mud. At that time the people were home livers, subsisting on the products of their farms. The father of our subject raised sheep and also planted flax and hemp, and the mother used to card, spin and weave the wood and the fibre of the flax and hemp to make cloth for garments for her children. There were no railways in this part of the country for years, and for some time the father of our subject used to market his grain at St. Louis with ox-teams. His busy life was terminated by death on his homestead in 1840.
The mother of our subject bore the maiden name of Nancy Jones, and she was a native of Kentucky. Her father, Clayborn Jones, was also a native of that State and was of Welsh descent. In the year 1800 he emigrated from his old home to the wilds of that part of the Northwestern Territory now embraced in Illinois, and was one of the first permanent settlers of the commonwealth. He secured a tract of timber land fifteen miles west of Springfield and resided upon it until his demise in 1840, his wife also dying there. The mother of our subject died on the home farm on the county line, 1838.
The parents of our subject reared four children, named as follows: Betsy, John B., Melissa and Phebe Ann. They were young when their parents died, and as John was the only son the care of his sisters devolved upon him and nobly did he shoulder his burden, supporting himself and them by working out by the month. In the fall of 1845 he went to Southwestern Missouri and renting land put in a crop in the spring of 1846. He soon sold his crop and returning to Illinois worked for a time near Carlinville. We next hear of him at Shaw's Point Township, where he was employed by the month for two years, and during that time saved money enough to buy a team. After that he was enabled to enter eighty acres of land on section 2, Honey Point Township. He built a small frame house thereon, and resided there three years. Meanwhile he bought other land adjoining his first purchase and erected a dwelling on the line between Honey Point and Shaw's Point, the house lying in both townships. As there were not people enough between his residence and Litchfield to organize a school district he decided to declare Honey Point Township his residence instead of Shaw's Point Township on account of its superior educational facilities. He has been very successful as a farmer and at one time owned five hundred acres of fine land, a part of which he has since deeded to his children. In 1891 he bought a residence at Carlinville, and now lives retired from active labor, enjoying an income ample for all his wants.
May 3, 1846, our subject took unto himself a wife in the person of Miss Nancy Sims, a daughter of James and Margaret (Robinson) Sims, and a native of this county, born April 3, 1826. The following are the children that have been born to Mr. And Mrs. Masters: James and John, now deceased; Melissa A., wife of Andrew Robinson, of Honey Point; Telitha M. And Margaret, both of whom are deceased; Charles, a resident of Shaw's Point Township; Emma, deceased; Kattie and Myrta who are at home; Philui Jane, wife of Dr. Buffington, of Atwater, and Henry I. Who lives in Honey Point Township.
Mr. Masters is a man of self-respecting character, is well dowered with those qualities necessary to success in life and to secure the confidence of others and no one is more deserving of trust and esteem than he. His fellow citizens have recognized his worth and capability, and have called him to important offices. He served many years as School Director and Highway Commissioner and represented Honey Point Township on the County Board of Supervisors at the time the county debt was funded. His political sentiments are in accord with the policy of the Democratic party.

Start a New Law Practice
Starting a law practice can be SCARY! They sure didn't teach us anything about entrepreneurship, business, marketing, sales, accounting or anything related to successfully running your own business in law school.
At least not when I went to law school.
I [Alexis] invested hundreds of thousands of dollars and thousands of hours in my own business education and as I was doing it, I kept re-assuring myself that I was not making the investment just for me — that one day I would teach what I was learning to other lawyers so you would not have to reinvent the wheel, like I did.
That day came in 2006 when I first taught lawyers how to engage more clients using my Client Engagement System and since then I have helped hundreds of lawyers start and grow their law practices.
Martha Hartney, our first Law Business Mentor, started her own law practice from scratch a little more than two years ago with a family to support and limited financial resources and today she has a thriving practice. [Martha] I thank heaven everyday that I was able to deploy the learning Alexis had accumulated because I could not have invested as Alexis did–and the investments I did make in my education we've infused into our work together.
We intend to provide you with the guidance you need to build the practice you want. Whether you are coming out of a Big Law firm like I did or straight out of law school like Martha, we can and will help you get to the money and happiness in your own practice fast.

San Francisco 49ers Top Training Camp Positional ShowdownsJune 8, 2012
As we anxiously await the start of the NFL season, our NFL gurus have been paying close attention to every team's OTAs and the inevitable position battles that go along with them.
Today, NFL Draft Lead Writer Matt Miller and NFL Deputy Editor Dylan MacNamara are focusing on the San Francisco 49ers and giving us their takes on the most compelling training camp showdowns.
Last year, we saw the Niners emerge as the only real Super Bowl contenders out of the NFC West, and this offseason, San Francisco is focused on bolstering its offense with some serious changes.
With Frank Gore, Brandon Jacobs and Anthony Dixon in the RB mix, it's pretty clear that Jim Harbaugh isn't planning to rely solely on Alex Smith to move the ball.
But when Smith does air it out, he'll have plenty of weapons (new and old) in his arsenal of receivers. Will Randy Moss prove that he still has what it takes to be a productive receiver?
Watch Miller and MacNamara weigh in on both of these topics in the video above, and as always, be sure to sound off with your own opinion in the comments section below.
Be sure to sound off and let us know what you think in the comments below. If you like what you see, click here for more from Bleacher Report Productions.

The line between pet products and home furnishings has blurred as the entrance of kathy ireland World Wide and the creation of a new product segment, doggie décor attests. However, a new line of freestanding cushions from Linon Home Decor suggests that the boundary's erosion will allow inspiration to flow past in both directions.
On the one side, more consumers are interested in pet products that coordinate with their décor. However, on the human furniture side, Linon took inspiration from a pet product to create a new line of scaled up cushions that can be used for casual seating and, in a kid's case, flopping. Roseanne LaRosa, Linon's product development manager, tried to fulfill a request from her son to find a comfortable place for him to lounge at home. They went to a store, she said, to get an idea of what he had in mind, but the closest product they found to what he had under consideration was a dog bed. So, LaRosa took inspiration and developed the line of cushions that permit kids, and so, inclined adults, to adopt whatever position or contortion they desired while relaxing at home.
The cushion line was part of an array of introductions Linon brought to the Winter Las Vegas Market, with others including a new furniture group and accent furniture.

"SP" movie split into two parts
Fans of the "SP" drama series, starring Junichi Okada (29) of V6, have been waiting a long time for the theatrical film version, titled "SP THE MOTION PICTURE." It has now been announced that the film will actually be split into two parts, with the first one scheduled for this fall.
The action-packed drama originally aired in 2007-2008, followed by a special episode in April 2008. Around the time of the special episode, it was revealed that a movie version was in the works, but it ended up being delayed until this fall. After 8 months of filming, the project is finally coming to a close.

It's official: The Cars, Rick Ocasek reunite
Forget my best friend's girl. This is just what I needed: The Cars have reunited with original frontman Ric Ocasek, Rolling Stone magazine confirmed today.
After 23 years apart and repeated assurances from Ocasek that no reunion would ever happen, the band (minus the late Ben Orr) is working on a new album. According to Billboard, tour dates will come next.
There's even a video clip of a new song called Blue Tip on the Cars' official Facebook page.
The band hinted at a possible reunion back in July, but it's great to hear word that it's official.

- June 2010
Annual Enrollment for benefits for the 2010-2011 plan year begins on July 1, 2010, and lasts through July 31, 2010. The June 2010 "A Matter of Health" newsletter is a special Annual Enrollment edition produced specifically for employees, and provides detailed benefits information for U.T. employees and their qualified dependents for the upcoming benefits year.
As in past years, watch for the arrival of emails as well as printed materials from the Office of Employee Benefits (OEB) and from your own institutions Benefits Office providing you with information related to Annual Enrollment, Benefits Fairs, possible Lunch and Learn opportunities and more. Additionally, details regarding each of the UT-sponsored benefits plans are available for review in the OEB website at www.utsystem.edu/benefits, including the UT Benefits Handbook for Employees and online video presentations.
If you take no action, your current coverages (except UT FLEX) will continue for the new plan year. In order to continue participation in UT FLEX, you MUST re-enroll during Annual Enrollment. The Debit Card must also be re-elected.
The cost of health care nationwide continues to rise, at rates higher than projected. What does this mean for you?
The UT SELECT Medical plan administered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas is self-funded by the UT System. As a self-funded plan, all claims are paid by UT System through premium sharing monies allocated by the State Legislature, UT System Institutions, and your monthly out-of-pocket cost (for dependent coverage and for part-time employees, the portion of employee-only coverage). The claims experience during the current benefit year (2009-2010) indicates an upward trend of 9% in the cost of providing health care services to UT members, and the current premium rates are deficient by 5%. That means we will experience an increase in monthly premium rates and a change in plan design.
As outlined in the May 2010 "A Matter of Health" newsletter, Dearborn National has been selected through a competitive bid process to continue to provide Group Term Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) benefits for UT System employees and your eligible dependents for an additional six years beginning September 1, 2010. Take a look at these substantial premium reductions and plan enhancements.
The UT SELECT Dental plan administered by Delta Dental is self-funded by the UT System. With UT SELECT Dental, you may see network or out-of-network dentists and referrals are not required to see a specialist. If you see a Delta Dental network dentist, Delta Dental will pay the dentist directly. Read more about these changes.
Authorized by the IRS, the UT FLEX Flexible Spending Account plans let you set aside money from your pay before taxes are withheld. You can use money from these accounts to pay for certain out-of-pocket medical and dependent day care expenses while receiving a tax advantage.

The Clover Trail (Atom Z2760) Review: Acer's W510 Testedby Anand Lal Shimpi on December 20, 2012 10:34 AM EST
GPU Performance
Contrary to popular opinion prior to its launch, the Clover Trail platform and Cloverview SoC feature a PowerVR SGX 545 GPU. The rumored PowerVR SGX 544MP2 won't show up until Clover Trail+ next year. The SGX 545 is clocked at a fairly aggressive 533MHz.
Architecturally the 545 is very similar to the PowerVR SGX 540 used in Intel's Medfield smartphone platform, with a handful of additions. The shader array remains unchanged at four USSE pipes. The 545 adds four more 10-bit integer pipes, doubles the triangle setup rate and doubles the number of depth test units as well. DirectX 10 class texture hardware is also a part of the mix, as well as everything else needed to officially support DirectX 10 (D3D feature level 9_3).
Compared to what's shipping in the latest iPads however, Clover Trail is horribly under-specced. We don't have good cross-platform (Windows RT/8) GPU tests yet, but based on what I've seen thus far it looks like the GPU here is a bit slower than what you get in a Tegra 3.
|Mobile SoC GPU Comparison
|PowerVR SGX 545
|NVIDIA Tegra 3
|PowerVR SGX 543MP2
|PowerVR SGX 543MP4
|PowerVR SGX 554MP4
|Used In
|Clover Trail
|Tegra 3
|iPad 2/mini
|iPad 3
|iPad 4
|SIMD Name
|# of SIMDs
|MADs per SIMD
|Total MADs
|GFLOPS @ 300MHz
Looking at raw FP performance tells us a lot of the story. The 545's high clock helps it punch above its weight, but it's still significantly less powerful than the 543MP2 used in the iPad 2/mini (and it's nothing compared to what's in the iPad 3/4).
Tegra 3-class GPU performance may have been acceptable a year ago running Android, but it's just too little too late today. Since Clover Trail has full backwards compatibility with older Windows applications, I can put its GPU performance in perspective. Turning to 3DMark03 and 06, we can get a good idea of the class of performance we're looking at. For complete (and consistent) comparison points, I've tossed the W510's results into Bench so you can compare to any notebook/mobile GPU you want to there.
Compared to the old Atom platform with Intel's GMA 3150, the PowerVR SGX 545 based GMA is around 3x faster. Even Intel's old mobile G45 graphics are actually slightly slower. Performance is still far behind everything else modern though. The GPU is more than adequate for Modern UI acceleration, but if you have secret hopes of being able to run some of your older games on Clover Trail you'll want to stash those dreams away.
None of this is really Imagination's fault - Intel remains generations behind in implementing competitive GPUs in its ultra mobile SoCs. Even the jump to PowerVR SGX 544MP2 next year will happen just as Apple likely moves to Img's Series 6 (Rogue) architecture. It's definitely a problem if you're a silicon company that delivers slower silicon than what your customers can put together.

londiste - Friday, December 21, 2012 - linkare the windows x86 drivers for powervr sgx now stable and feature complete? the first batch of reviews for atoms containing these, including the one in anand iirc, complained a lot about the stability of video drivers.
the fact that these crashes are system-wide, would rule out specific applications, but not drivers.
windows 8 by itself, especially on x86 (but maybe even more so for the rt on arm) has been very stable. Reply
MFK - Thursday, December 20, 2012 - linkCan we get a detailed write up of how eMMC differs from SATA?
I'd be very interested in reading Anandtechs analysis on the differences between them.
It just seems to be the very prevalent now with smartphones and Atom tablets both using it. Reply
DanNeely - Thursday, December 20, 2012 - linkMMC is a memory card standard similar to the more common SD; eMMC is just an embedded version. Outside of the embedded world MMC is mostly used to increase the number of supported formats claimed by card readers. Reply

tempestglen - Friday, December 21, 2012 - linkGreat! Hope you use a test application which could utilities all of the CPU cores. Kraken is good but not perfect, could Kraken make 100% usage on dual core? Reply
DanNeely - Thursday, December 20, 2012 - linkCould you add dimensions for the combined tablet + dock? Reply
mayankleoboy1 - Thursday, December 20, 2012 - linkClover Trail is a failure. It is competitive with Tegra3. Great.
But tegra3 itself is outdated now. Anyone notice that no new top-line smartphone has tegra3. All have Krait4. And will soon have Exynos5.
If all Intel has to show for its efforts is competition with tegra3/A9 , its in some deep shit.
The GPU is particulerly shitty. Either Intel need a node shift to 14nm, or a new arch or both. Reply
jhoff80 - Thursday, December 20, 2012 - linkMaybe I'm being naive, but it sounds like Bay Trail will be exactly that new architecture for Atom that Intel needs. Reply
jeffkibuule - Thursday, December 20, 2012 - linkClover Trail is just a stop gap. It's using a 5 year old architecture with a GPU that even the iPad 2 from 2 years ago could outperform. I think it's purposefully designed to be cheap.
I'd be far more interested to see what Bay Trail (next-generation Atom) and Haswell (next-generation Core) bring to the table, because at least it will look like Intel is trying. Reply

Give me light, Give me life
Time: 1 week Materials needed:
- two clean jars
- 1 ounce of alfalfa seeds
- cheesecloth
- rubber band
- water
- Put alfalfa seeds in each jar, add enough water to cover the seeds. Soak overnight.
- Put two layers of cheesecloth over the mouth of the jars and wrap with a rubber band. Turn the jars upside down over the sink or a bowl and allow to drain. This rinse water would be food for houseplants, it will have a few nutrients in it. Rinse with clear water and drain again. Label on jar LIGHT and the other DARK. Leave each jar upside down in a small bowl for best drainage. Put the first jar in or near a window and the second jar in a cabinet. Keep the cabinet door closed.
- About twice a day, rinse and drain the sprouts as in step 2 and put the jars back in their places. Do this for a week.
- At the end of the week, write down the differences between the two jars full of sprouts. Which do you think would keep growing the longest? Why?
- Now you can eat what you have grown! Alfalfa sprouts are great on sandwiches, in salads, or alone!

All that glitters is not gold. Similarly, all the doctors who have a degree are not considered to be great specialists. "Health is Wealth" is a famous saying. If your health is not so good, one must not ignore it but consult the physician in the initial stages itself. If you are new to a place, or any doctor refers you to a physician or you don't know any other physician who is qualified, experienced and specialized in that field that you need, the best way to find out is to get the physicians background checks.
Normally, a background check is conducted in advance when you are going for a job interview by the hiring hospital. The hospital, which is going to hire the services of a physician, spends time, money and resources to check whether the candidate is suitable to work in the hospital, as the lives of the patients and the public should be well protected.
There are many online ways to check about your physicians' background checks, but care should be taken to select the proper paid and experienced online websites. Some of the online background check websites provide free services, which is not so reliable, it is always better to go for paid services and not to be in a hurry, and scrutinize the physician carefully. All you need to provide is the name of the physician, current or old address of the physician, rest the websites take over and go ahead with the physicians' background checks.
Before the background check starts, the physician will be asked to sign an authorization for the release of the said information. It is a comprehensive letter with the details of the physician's name, date of birth and social verification number. With these above information, the background check starts linking up with civil records search, court records, criminal records, etc.
The physician background check normally includes details about the physicians past or present legal action for malpractice, the place where the physician got his license, other allied license details, educational qualification, the name of the college/university, experience and specialty training of the physician, the year of graduation, any legal action of any fraud or disciplinary action etc.
Some of the websites also provide update free service up to 12 months after the first physician report. They provide information with new disciplinary information received by any of their database. All good doctors should not worry about their background check. Public and patients should always do physicians' background check, keeping in mind the famous saying, Prevention is better than cure.
