Does your firm have a marketing plan? Do you know where it is? If your firm's marketing plan is sitting on a shelf, if you aren't getting the new business results you want, if you have a plan and don't know what to do with it - read on. A well-developed marketing plan can put you on the road to results.
Like any other good instruction manual, we must start at the beginning. Let's get rid of any misconceptions you may have.
What A Marketing Plan Is
A well-defined marketing plan is your firm's road map to results. It will guide you from your current destination to your target destination. It should be a document that is used and revised as needed (no one says you have to live and die by what you decide to do today). You can develop an effective marketing plan by following a tried-and-true series of steps.
What A Marketing Plan Is Not
A marketing plan isn't some fancy, intelligently written (although it should be clearly communicated) 100-page document that "wows" people. It isn't a document that will take months to create. It isn't going to take the latest and greatest desktop publishing software available to create. A marketing plan that works isn't something that only the marketing director and the marketing partners understand.
Stay tuned - the next part covers:
· Where are you now?
· Where are you going?
This is the first part of a three-part article that will help you develop a great marketing plan that really gets results. This article series is meant to be a hands-on tool that allows you to immediately impact your firm.

Topic: Childhood (09/03/09)
TITLE: My Tipical Week
By Gregory Kane
My week starts with school on Monday. I can't see much point in describing my school because you're sitting in it. Besides, I have been to three different schools and they are all just the same. Mrs Cotton is away having a baby which is why we have a supply teacher. Otherwise I wouldn't have to right this stupid essay about my tipical week because Mrs Cotton already knows what I'm like. So there.
Tuesday, Wedensday, Thursday and Friday aren't any different. After school each day I go home and do my boring homework. Except that sometimes when it's dredfully boring I sort of forget. Once I've finished I might play on my Nintendo DS or chase our puppy round the garden. She's called Brat which is quite a good name as she sometimes bites. My big brother, Dennis, is meant to be training her but he often forgets about this because he's a bit too fond of his computer. Last week Brat bit the postman and my Dad got in big trouble. So afterwards Dennis got his backside tanned and my Dad banned him from using the computer for a hole week. Maybe now Brat will learn to sit up and beg. It's a shame no one has the job of training my big brother because he could sure do with it!
Thursdays are kind of interesting because my Nan comes round for dinner. I'm don't think my Dad likes Nan very much. He calls her names like Dragon or Goat or Witch behind her back. One day I repeated some of these words when we were all seated round the kitchen tabel and my Mum boxed my ears and Nan gave my Dad a dirty look. Later on, once Nan's gone home, my Dad fetches a bottle of whiskey from its hiding place under the sink. The people who go to our church aren't supposed to drink alcohol but my Dad says that God never had a mother-in-law so he couldn't possibly understand.
Saturdays are my favourite part of the week because Mum and Dad stay in bed until after ten, so we get to watch children's TV all morning. My parents are always kissing and hugging and other gross stuff. Me and my brother agree that kissing is soppy and disgusting and there's no way we would ever want to kiss a girl. Yuck! Anyway, once they finally get up we have to choose between spending the rest of the day with Mum or with Dad. Not a difficult choice if you have at least half a brain. Mum goes shopping which is increddably boring whereas Dad takes us down to the park. Unfortunately a couple of weeks ago we was playing cricket and our Dad put the ball through the side window of a parked car. We quickly scarpered but Dad says we're avoiding the park for the time being just in case. That's why Mum's been dragging us round the shops while Dad gets to stay at home and tinker in his garage. But we think we've got this problem sorted. Cos now every time Mum comes out of the changing room wearing a new dress, Dennis or me pipes up and says that it makes her bottom look really enormous. We're pretty sure that next Saturday Mum will tell Dad that she much prefers shopping alone.
On Sundays we all go to church. Our pastor is really old and the only jokes he knows are dead stupid. Mrs Smyth is my Sunday School teacher and she's great because she tells exciting Bible stories. But it helps if you can look dumb when it's question time because her breath stinks. The one thing I don't like about my church is that they won't let me take the bread and the juice. Pastor Dull (that's really his name, honest) says that I'm too young to understand what it means. But I do. I've asked Jesus to take my bad things away and I read my Bible every day. My Mum makes me but even if she didn't I still would because it's important. So I think it's a silly rule that I have to wait until I'm fifteen. I'm sure Jesus would give me bread and juice if he was here. He understands that children are important even if most grown-ups seem to have forgotten. And neither would he have given me such a stupid homework if he was our supply teacher. So there.
The End.

Gender Development Indicators: Issues, Debates and Ranking of Districts
The present study emphasizes on independent variable analysis in assessing gender development at the disaggregated district level to account for problems such as the major contradiction facing this century which relates to development sans equality, growth without equitable distribution, prosperity alongside rising gender inequalities, none of which are natural but are rather influenced by social and cultural factors.This paper is divided into seven sections. After the introduction, the second section deals with some of the debates and measures of development indicators. Section three presents the methodology, objectives and scope of the study. The fourth section discusses the selected indicators along with a state level analysis of each of them. A detailed presentation of district-wise data analysis is undertaken in the fifth section under specific sub-heads of demographic, educational, health, sociocultural and economic indicators. The main findings are presented in the sixth section. Some concluding remarks, including directions for further explorations and limitations of the present study are provided in the last section.

Is that you, India Arie?
The 37-year-old star is almost unrecognizable in the cover image from her new single "Cocoa Butter," which is causing a lot of backlash and many to believe that she has been lightening her skin. This is quite a shock considering the afro-centric R&B singer is known for promoting black beauty– most notably expressed in her hit songs "Brown Skin" and "I Am Not My Hair."
Sources close to India told TMZ that her "lightened" skin tone is the result of the camera flash and angle. And added that the singer never asked to be lightened. Nevertheless, the celebrity website makes the valid point that India approved the photo without correcting the color of her skin.

Where's 'Sherlock'? It's no 'Mystery'
|By City Pulse Staff
WKAR hosts a sneak preview of the second season of 'Sherlock' May 3
Wednesday, April 11 — "Sherlock," the BBC series that adapts Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's tales to present-day London, has become a major hit on PBS's "Masterpiece Mystery." The second season begins next month, and WKAR-TV is staying a step ahead of the game by hosting a sneak preview of the next three episodes at 7 p.m. May 3. The event will be held at Michigan State University's Communication Arts & Sciences Building.
The 35-minute screening of scenes from the Benedict Cumberbatch/Martin Freeman series will be followed by a discussion and Q&A session with pop culture expert Gary Hoppenstand about the enduring appeal of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Guests can also snack on "mysterious treats" and register to win a Holmes-related prize from Schuler Books & Music and Chapbook Caf. The new season of "Sherlock" — which includes "Scandal in Belgravia," "The Hounds of Baskerville" and "The Reichenbach Fall" — begins airing on WKAR on May 6.

With all the excitement surrounding the start of the baseball season I haven't been able to write about the Broncos in a while. Very recently I helped write isportsweb mock draft; go and take a look if you haven't already.
In my absence the Denver Broncos signed a pair of playmakers in Emmanuel Sanders and DeMarcus Ware. As you will most likely see I am a lot more excited about one more than I am about the other but both players will play huge roles for the Broncos in the fall.
Emmanuel Sanders: So pumped about this pickup. Sanders was the second best wide receiver for the Steelers behind Mike Wallace. When Wallace left, Sanders actually saw a massive increase in production, although still played second fiddle to Antonio Brown. In 2013, Sanders hauled in 6 touchdown catches which actually was more than all of his previous touchdown catches combined.
Sanders may be the perfect replacement for Eric Decker. I personally wasn't huge on Decker to begin with, I thought he was massively overrated and benefitted a lot from Demaryius Thomas, but I think that Sanders is a stud. He has speed- he actually returned kicks for Pittsburgh- and he has experience. Pittsburgh is a big time football city and there's no way that Sanders will feel any type of pressure moving from the steel city into Denver.
Sanders also can be a massive headache for defenses. In theory Sanders could be a number one wideout on a few teams and Demaryius Thomas has the ability to be an All-Star every year. If teams devote most of their defensive energy into stopping DT they are basically asking for Sanders to burn them. Also, the quartet of Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas, Wes Welker and Emmanuel Sanders is going to be a massive problem for opposing defenses.
DeMarcus Ware: If my excitement ranking for the Sanders pickup was a 10 out of 10, my excitement for the Ware signing is about a 5. Ware is most likely going to end up in the Hall of Fame, but it's not like he is exactly at the top of his game. Last year he only recorded 6 sacks, the lowest total of his career.
That said, he's only 31 and he's been battling injuries for the past few years so there's no reason why Ware can't have a comeback in 2014. Even if he never produces at the levels that he did in Dallas, Ware will at least be able to draw linemen away from a rehabilitated Von Miller, and to be fair, even if Ware doesn't open up lanes for Miller, Miller may be able to open up lanes for Ware.
The Broncos frontline has the potential to be deadly next year, and now with the addition of TJ Ward in the secondary I'm actually starting to get excited about what 2014 has to offer. However, if Ware isn't able to produce at all the Broncos season could quickly fall apart defensively.
Other News: The Broncos lost a few big name players to free agency lately, Shaun Phillips signed with Tennessee and Knowshon Moreno signed a contract with Miami.

Casino Tax Revenue to pay for bridge improvement
Thu, 25 Jul 2013 16:20:08 GMT —
A big win at the casino means more money for bridge improvements in Wood County.
The Wood County Commissioners said Wednesday casino tax revenue will fund improvements to bridges that are in dire need of repair. Commissioners claim this revenue stream will create about $750,000 for 2013.
Commissioners asked Wood County Engineer Ray Huber to identify the top 10 bridges needing replacement. Huber will select a list out of about 400 bridges and begin working on these 10 bridges and the bridge projects in 2014.
Other sources of funding include using a combination of motor vehicle gas tax revenue and grants.
Wood County has received a quarterly casino tax revenue payments last year. The county officials said this will curb other significant revenue reductions, but claim bridge replacement has a high priority.

Show and sell yourself well
To stand out when applying for a job with a top employer, candidates need to think outside the box, and highlight the skills they can contribute to increase their value.
There are a number of benefits to be gained by working for a top employer. Candidates are often exposed to opportunities that may otherwise not be available to them. This includes industry-leading training and development programmes, overseas secondments and internal promotion paths.
So how do you win that coveted role with a top employer? Simple - do all you can to stand apart. Most importantly, it's vital that you are knowledgeable in your field.
For example, external auditors need to be qualified and have experience in helping businesses move forwards. Estimators, meanwhile, need strong trade links and good relationships with subcontractors. And occupational health and safety professionals need to be aware of changes in legislation.
A lot of candidates have matching technical skills and experience, so you must think outside the box about the skills you have which increase your attractiveness to a top employer, when you apply for your next job.
Next week, we will discuss some tips on how to highlight your unique selling points, to differentiate yourself from the job-seeking crowd.

Dirce Moroni Toulan, a parishioner at St. Michael the Archangel Church, and her husband Dr. Nohad Toulan were killed in a car accident in Uruguay on Oct. 28.
Nohad, 81, was the founder and retired director of Portland State University's College of Urban and Public Affairs, where he taught city planning for 30 years.
The couple was vacationing near Punta del Este in Uruguay.
A devout Muslim, Nohad faithfully dropped off and picked up Dirce, 78, from Mass every Sunday. While she and the children were at church, he would cross the street and spend time at his office at PSU.
"They both believed deeply that Muslims and Christians could and should, as brothers and sisters, sons and daughters of God, be able to get along being thankful for what they had in common," said Father Jim Mayo, pastor of St. Michael's.
Imam Michael Shabbazz led a funeral for Nohad, and Father Mayo celebrated a funeral Mass at St. Michael's for Dirce. Civic, state, and city leaders, PSU colleagues, and family gathered for a service at the Portland Art Museum Nov. 11. Nohad and Dirce were buried side by side at Riverview Cemetery.
Portland State University will host a public memorial in honor of the couple from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 19, in the Smith Memorial Center ballroom.
A native of Egypt, Nohad grew up in Cairo and Alexandria. He received a degree in architecture from the University of Cairo, a master's degree in city planning from University of California-Berkeley, and a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia in 1965. It was during his time at University of Pennsylvania that Nohad met Dirce, a Fulbright Scholar from Rosario, Argentina. In 1964, Dirce and Nohad married while still completing their studies — she a master's degree in city planning and he a Ph.D.
After her graduation in 1964, Dirce worked as a planner for the City of Camden while Nohad completed his Ph.D.
Nohad was an internationally recognized urban planner who contributed extensively to the development of major urban and regional plans in the U.S. and the Middle East. He had been an adviser to the United Nations Development Program and to local and foreign governments on development issues. He was a member of the Columbia Region Association of Governments committee that drafted the Portland Urban Growth Boundary and has served on and chaired numerous task forces for the city of Portland. In 1965, he became the first planning director of the Greater Cairo Region and he is the author of many of the concepts that continue to shape policy in that growing region. In 1984-'85, while on a 20-month leave of absence from PSU, he directed the preparation of a comprehensive regional plan for the Holy City of Mecca.
Nohad came to PSU from Columbia University in 1972 as the director of the Urban Studies Program. He led the expansion of disciplines that culminated in the creation of the College of Urban and Public Affairs. He served as the college's first and founding dean from 1976 until his retirement in 2004.
Dirce was an architect and planner who received her first degree from the University of Rosario in Argentina. At 27, she was named a Fulbright Scholar and moved to Philadelphia to attend the University of Pennsylvania. Following their move to Portland, Dirce became heavily involved at both PSU and the broader Portland community. She led the effort to support the College of Urban and Public Affairs' library, which is now named the Dirce Moroni Toulan Library.
In January the couple would have celebrated their 50th anniversary.
"They had become one as the Church envisions happening with couples in marital love," Father Mayo said.
They are survived by their children Mariam and Omar Toulan; son-in-law, Manfred Kuerten; brother, Dr. Jorge Moroni; sister, Heba Toulan; and nieces and nephews.
Memorial donations can be made to the Nohad and Dirce Toulan Endowed Scholarship by visiting the Portland State University Foundation website: www.foundation.pdx.edu/publicgift/toulan_memorial.jsp.

We'll be meeting up starting at 2 PM on Saturday, January 10 at the food court just below the Theaters at Mall of America. I'll be wearing a bright yellow Minnesota Atheists t-shirt and sitting toward the middle of the food court overlooking Lego Land.
Don't worry, the Wednesday evening Meal and Reel will still take place as usual.
We'll be seeing "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" around 4 PM. A synopsis from RottenTomatoes.com - "Director David Fincher and Brad Pitt team up for a third time with this adaptation of a F. Scott Fitzgerald short story. Pitt plays a man who is born 80 years old, but instead of aging, he grows young. Oscar winner Cate Blanchett costars, along with Taraji P. Henson and Tilda Swinton." If schedules change, I will send out an update to those who RSVP'd. Feel free to come before the movie, or join us at the movie. A small group may stick together afterward to talk about what we just saw.
Great bunch of interesting people.

O Canada!
Today Canadians go to the polls to see if the ruling Liberals remain in power, or if they will be ousted in favor of the Conservatives. (For those who don't closely follow such things, Canada is a small country south of Detroit.) The Liberals have been in power for a long time, and aside from the normal woes of prolonged incumbency (in-fighting, intellectual exhaustion, voter fatigue, etc.), the Liberals are also reeling from a scandal over the funneling of government advertising money in Quebec into Liberal coffers. The Conservatives are sharpening their knives and trying their darndest not to make any anti-Quebec jokes in public.
The Liberals are pinning their hopes on America, or more precisely, Canadian aversion to America. Aside from (eastern) Canada's cultural dislike of America, the Liberals have been pitched a great slow ball by the Bush Administration, which in its role of protectionist pander to the American timber industry has been flouting a final ruling to the effect that US soft-wood tarrifs against Canada are a blatent violation of the its NAFTA treaty obligations.
While most Americans are likely to react to this issue by saying, "I didn't realize that Canada was — you know — technically a separate country," it has been a very big deal north (or south if you are in Detroit) of the border. Interestingly, the American judiciary has also popped up as an issue in the campaign:
[Martin, the Liberal PM] seized this week on Harper's [the Conservative challenger] criticism of judicial activism, warning that the Conservatives would try to circumvent the courts. Helping Martin, the attorney general of Ontario, Michael J. Bryant, accused Harper of wanting to "Americanize our judiciary."
What they are arguing about here is the Canadian Supreme Court's decision on same-sex marriage. Now regardless of how one comes down on the merits of Canada, same-sex marriage, or the evils of the United States, this is a bizarre rhetorical game. Whatever judicial involvement in contentious social issues may be, it is as American as apple pie. (And yes, I realize that they have apples in Canada too. The Bush Administration is probably secretly funding covert Canadian crop destruction at the behest of Washington apple farmers.) Indeed, it seems to me that strong judicial review has been one of America's few constitutional exports. Most places have not been too impressed by the separation of powers and a strong independent executive. In this sense, the Westminster model has been much more successful around the world than has been the American model. What countries — notably Canada and Israel — have self-consciously borrowed from the United States are strong, independent judiciaries dedicated to the legal elaboration of fundamental rights.
Hitting Harper for secretly wanting to Americanizing Canadian health care might be a bit plausible. As for the Canadian judiciary, it strikes me that it has already been Americanized…

Murder in the air at White House B&B
March 7, 2013
Due to popular demand, the murder mystery dinner held annually in Genoa will return this year at the White House Bed and Breakfast. Martha Williams, the owner of Antiques Plus, where the dinner was originally held, has been organizing it for several years. In the last few years, however, she stopped doing the dinner."A lot of people have been asking why she didn't do it anymore," said Kim Copel. "They decided to move it to the White House Bed and Breakfast in order to accommodate more people."The dinner started as a fun community event, and Copel said it is starting to become tradition in Douglas County.Phil Stoll, owner of the bed and breakfast, will play the part of Haffa Hoffa, and Williams will play Miss Magnolia, the extravagant and eccentric "grand Dame of the Dake House.""The guests will all be given a character," said Copel. "Somebody's going to get murdered and the guests are going to have to figure out who did it. It's a hilarious comedy."There is a reason for all the characters to want the victim dead, and it will take all their efforts to find out who would be willing to kill for the crimes against them.In order to find out who is killed and who-done-it, make a reservation for 7 p.m. March 22 or 23.The evening will be catered by Buona Sera, and tickets cost $45.Seating is limited to 30 diners per evening, reservations can be made by calling 782-4951, and must be made in advance.

The Globus FTP Client library provides a convenient way of accessing files on remote FTP servers. In addition to supporting the basic FTP protocol, the FTP Client library supports several security and performance extensions to make FTP more suitable for Grid applications. These extensions are described in the Grid FTP Protocol document.
In addition to protocol support for grid applications, the FTP Client library provides a plugin architecture for installing application or grid-specific fault recovery and performance tuning algorithms within the library. Application writers may then target their code toward the FTP Client library, and by simply enabling the appropriate plugins, easily tune their application to run it on a different grid.
All applications which use the Globus FTP Client API must include the header file "globus_ftp_client.h" and activate the GLOBUS_FTP_CLIENT_MODULE.
To use the Globus FTP Client API, one must create an FTP Client handle. This structure contains context information about FTP operations which are being executed, a cache of FTP control and data connections, and information about plugins which are being used. The specifics of the connection caching and plugins are found in the "Handle Attributes" section of the API documentation.
Once the handle is created, one may begin transferring files or doing other FTP operations by calling the functions in the "FTP Operations" section of the API documentation. In addition to whole-file transfers, the API supports partial file transfers, restarting transfers from a known point, and various FTP directory management commands. All FTP operations may have a set of attributes, defined in the operationattr section, associated with them to tune various FTP parameters. The data structures and functions needed to restart a file transfer are described in the "Restart Markers" section of the API documentation. For operations which require the user to send to or receive data from an FTP server they must call the functions described in the "globus_ftp_client_data" section of the manual.
The globus_ftp_control library provides low-level services needed to implement FTP clients and servers. The API provided is protocol specific. The data transfer portion of this API provides support for the standard data methods described in the FTP Specification as well as extensions for parallel, striped, and partial data transfer.
For information on the internationalization API, see the C Common Libraries Public Interface.
Please see the GridFTP Command Reference.
The Globus GridFTP GUI is a Java web start application. It provides an easy-to-use interface for connecting to GridFTP servers and transferring files. The GridFTP GUI has the following features:
Allows you to browse the local file system and transfer files and directories between the local system and remote GridFTP servers and between two remote GridFTP servers (third-party transfers).
Supports file system operations such as creating, deleting and renaming files and directories.
Provides reliability by interfacing with the Globus Reliable File Transfer (RFT) service.
Supported Platforms:
The GUI provides two ways for generating a proxy credential required for the data transfer:
Creating a proxy credential using a locally stored key pair.
Obtaining a proxy from a MyProxy Server. For more information about MyProxy, please visit: http://myproxy.ncsa.uiuc.edu/.
A demo of using the GridFTP GUI is available here. Open the file ending in .htm with any browser with the Flash plugin to start the Flash demo - then just click the green arrows to progress through each screen.
The Globus implementation of the GridFTP server draws on:
three IETF RFCs:
- an IETF Draft: MLST-16
- the GridFTP protocol specification, which is Global Grid Forum (GGF) Standard GFD.020.
The command line tools and the client library completely hide the details of the protocol from the user and the developer. Unless you choose to use the control library, it is not necessary to have a detailed knowledge of the protocol.
Please see Section 3.2, "GridFTP server configuration options" in the System's Administrator Guide.
The GridFTP server or client libraries do not read any environment variable directly, but the security and networking related variables described below may be useful.

Nominated for seven Tony Awards, Mary Poppins includes a score filled with timeless classics such as "A Spoonful of Sugar," "Step in Time" and the Academy Award-winning "Chim-Chim Cher-ee."
The Beef & Boards production stars Cara Statham Serber (most recently seen as Maria in The Sound of Music last season), Buddy Reeder as Bert, Eddie Curry as George Banks and local young performers Kennedy Martin as Jane Banks and Logan Sejas as Michael Banks.
Mary Poppins is on stage for 52 performances through June 29 in the intimate space of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Tickets range from $38.50 to $63.50 and include Chef Odell Ward's family-friendly dinner buffet, prepared in-house for each performance, and select beverages.
Plus, as Beef & Boards' 2014 Family Show, Mary Poppins tickets are discounted $10 for children ages 3-15.
For reservations, call the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre Box Office at 317.872.9664 anytime between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays. Discounts are available to groups of 20 or more; contact the Group Sales Department for more details.

Losing weight is a challenge almost as difficult as reading an entire dictionary or climbing a tree that's covered in canola oil. Enlist expert help with this Groupon.

During FDA-approved Zerona treatments, technicians wield cold lasers that bombard fatty tissues in the hips, waist, and thighs, causing the fat cells to shrink. The body then disposes of the excess fat through its natural processes. Results vary from person to person, but six sessions typically reduce treated areas' circumference by an average of three inches.

Sports Editor
DENVER — The East Lincoln Lady Mustangs girls varsity basketball team played close with the West Lincoln Lady Rebels for two quarters on Tuesday.
But then, in the third, things started to break down.
The Lady Rebels (7-9, 5-3) outscored East Lincoln 12-5 in the third quarter and took a 29-19 lead by the end of the period, on their way to a 39-28 Southern Piedmont Conference victory.
West Lincoln freshman Erin Huff banked in a short jump shot less than 30 seconds into the second half, followed closely by a 3-pointer by East Lincoln's Rachel Lane with seven minutes left in the period to give West Lincoln a 19-17 lead.
That touched off a 7-0 run by the Lady Rebels that lasted until just over a minute was left in the third, and was snapped when East Lincoln's Hanna Moolenaar made a layup with 1:20 left. Huff made another short jump shot with 6:34 left in the third, followed by a layup by senior Taylor Sutton off a steal to take West Lincoln's lead to 23-17. Huff added a 3-pointer with 3:20 left in the period.
The Lady Rebels were plagued by a scoring drought through most of the fourth quarter, but outscored East Lincoln 10-9. Huff made a 2-point basket with 7:33 left in the game but the Lady Rebels didn't score again until Sutton landed a short jump shot with 2:38 left. Senior Rebecca Owens took West Lincoln's lead to 35-26 moments later with a one-handed layup. The Lady Rebels closed out the game with a 4-0 run with baskets by Sutton and Owens with less than a minute left.
Huff led West Lincoln in scoring with 11 points. Senior Rylee Marsh finished with 10 points and Sutton added eight points.
East Lincoln (2-16, 2-7) senior Ashlee Frazier paced the Lady Mustangs with nine points. Lane added seven points and Jennifer Allison, Mackenzie Mackel and Moolenaar all scored four points.

#1: New curlmart product search format
I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this. I went to look up a new product this afternoon and apparently the website has been changed. Do not like the new format at all. Unless I am missing something you can no longer search by ingredient type (no protein, etc), hair type, etc. I relied very highly on this search before for product info! Especially since I'm still in the searching phase trying to find the right products for my hair. Please consider changing it back.

Streaks shock Lakers in the seventh
The Osakis baseball team had a little more magic left and it led to a 3-2 win over Minnewaska on Monday night that kept the Silverstreaks' season alive.
Osakis was down 2-0 after six innings before rallying for three runs in the bottom of the seventh to win in walk-off fashion. Brandon Giesler and Cody DeWenter led off the final inning with singles before a sacrifice bunt by Jarrett Weispfennig and a walk by freshman Brady Berberich loaded the bases.
That knocked Minnewaska's Riley Thompson from the game for Austin VerSteeg. Ninth-place hitter Hunter Scherr greeted him with a single that scored Giesler to make it a 2-1 game. That brought the top of the order up for Osakis as Lane Berberich delivered an infield single in the hole between short and third that scored the tying run.
Senior shortstop Drew Fearing, hitting .439 on the season, was up next. He quickly fell behind 0-2 in the count. On the third pitch he saw, Fearing got hit on the arm with a curveball that moved Osakis on to the semifinals of the 6AA tournament.
"As I often say, good teams find ways to win and we did that again today," head coach Shad Schmidt said. "In the bottom of the seventh, our game plan worked perfectly as we prepared the kids before that inning as to what we wanted to do and they came through. The guys just never gave up or never thought they couldn't win."
Jordan Frederick got the start for Osakis and finished with a complete-game victory. The senior ace struck out 10 and allowed two earned runs in the third inning on a VerSteeg two-run double. Frederick put up zeroes after that and scattered just five hits on the night.
The Silverstreaks eventually got to Thompson offensively. Lane Berberich upped his average to a team-leading .459 with two hits, including a double, and had a steal for his 31st stolen base of the season. DeWenter also had two hits.
Osakis 3, Minnewaska 2

The man being sought after the violent death of a woman in Wellington may pose a threat to the general public, police say.
The body of 33-year-old Amanda Dawn Taufale was found at a house in Sunrise Boulevard just before 8am today.
The mother of two sons, a 15-year-old and a six-month-old, died a violent death, Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Oxnam said.
He would not say how she died, but said a post mortem examination would be completed tomorrow morning.
Police would like to speak to 38-year-old Ernest Smith, who is believed to be a close friend of Ms Taufale.
They would also like to hear from anyone who might have seen his blue Toyota Corolla, registration GMB108, near Sunrise Boulevard or the Takapu Road Railway Station, since yesterday.
The car remains next to the railway track.
Ms Taufale's two sons were at the scene at the time of her death, and a family member called police.
Police did not know if Smith was the father of either boy.
Mr Oxnam said it was too early to say what happened.
"The fact is she's died a violent death, and yes we do have concerns for the general public because if whoever's done this has committed one violent crime, there's nothing to stop them doing another one.''
Smith was described as a West Indian, of solid athletic build, and currently had a short haircut.
Mr Oxnam would not go into detail about the relationship between Ms Taufale and Smith.
"All we really know is they're associates.''
Police were not ruling out the possibility that Smith had fled on the train.
Mr Oxnam said he did not know if police had been called to the Sunrise Boulevard home in the past, and he would not go into detail as to whether Mr Smith was known to police.
Police had not yet located the murder weapon.
Police appealed for anyone who may have seen or heard anything to come forward.
"Of particular interest is anyone travelling on trains this morning between 7.00 and 8.00am who may have seen anything around the vehicle ... a blue Toyota Corolla hatchback, registration GMB108.''
A neighbour whose home overlooks the property said she heard a bang about 7.40am.
The woman, who did not give her name, said it sounded like a car backing into another car, but she had the television on and could not be sure.
Police cordoned off two scenes, one at the Sunrise Boulevard property and the other a vehicle near Takapu Road railway station.
Another neighbour said her neighbours - who she did not know - had not ever been a problem.
Arohata women's prison sits about 200 metres behind the home, and a large childcare centre is across the road.
Earlier today the police investigation briefly delayed commuter trains north of Wellington.
Tranz Metro closed the Kapiti line at Takapu Rd for six minutes from 8.50am at the request of police, a Tranz Metro spokeswoman said.

IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei this week met with Chinese governmental representatives in Beijing, and addressed students and faculty at the Tsinghua University in Beijing on nuclear power´s future.
"In the past two decades, China has transformed its economy, maintained unprecedented growth rates and lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty," Dr. ElBaradei said. "Nuclear technology has played a supportive role, and I am pleased that the IAEA has been able to make a small contribution."
The Director General noted that China now has ten reactors in operation and four under construction. China plans a more than five-fold expansion in its nuclear generating capacity for electricity production by 2020, expanding from the current 7.6 gigawatts to 40 gigawatts.
The Director General pointed out that China is a member of the IAEA´s International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycles. INPRO works to ensure that the future needs of all countries, including developing countries, are considered when innovative nuclear systems are evaluated. The country also supports the ITER global nuclear fusion project.
In other fields as well - including medicine, agriculture, and industry - China is actively applying nuclear science and technology. "Nuclear and radiological applications are helping to raise Chinese standards of health, agriculture, industry and other sectors, often in collaboration with the IAEA," Dr. ElBaradei said.
Dr. ElBaradei was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Tsinghua University. The award was presented by Tsinghua President Gu Binglin. Tsinghua Vice President Xie Weihe hosted the award ceremony, which was attended by Professor Wang Dazhong, Honorary Chairman of the University Council, among other distinguished participants.

The Colorado Rapids and Chivas USA draw up a 1-1 result.
Both squads were determined to make their way up in the Western Conference standings at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, and it was the Rapids who started off strong. Midfielder Martin Rivero took a surprise shot outside the 18, which demanded keeper Dan Kennedy to make an early save.
In the 19th minute, Chivas USA attempted to clear the ball out of its box. Shalrie Joseph, appearing in red and white for just the second time, turned to get rid of the ball. The midfielder was surprised as Brian Mullan stole the ball and easily scored the first goal of the match.
The final 45 started off with Dan Kennedy making a potential save of the week. Omar Cummings had a textbook header off of a Hunter Freeman cross, but Kennedy blocked it with one hand.
A quick substitution brought Conor Casey back onto the field for the first time since July 7. He made numerous attempts, but was unable to score.
The Goats were down, but definitely not out. In the 83rd minute, Tristan Bowen sent the ball into the path of Juan Pablo Angel who quickly made the final score 1-1.

Confronting Racism from within the Guatemalan State: The Challenges Faced by the Defender of Indigenous Rights of Guatemala's Human Rights Ombudsman's Office
This paper analyzes the development of legal mechanisms and micro-level institutional reforms aimed at consolidating the rights of indigenous peoples in post-conflict Guatemala. The research is based on prolonged fieldwork carried out with the Office of the Defender of Indigenous Peoples' Rights of the Guatemalan Human Rights Ombudsman's Office (PDH), established in 1998. The paper argues that the establishment of state institutions and institutional reforms oriented towards the protection of indigenous peoples' rights since the end of hostilities in Guatemala's internal armed conflict in 1996 represent important advances, although they occurred within a broader context in which the peace process failed to tackle structural inequalities effectively or enduringly. On the surface, the PDH and related reforms appear to provide indigenous people with unprecedented access to forms of legal redress for human rights violations, including both individual and collective rights. However, given the structural, interpersonal and institutional racism that plagues Guatemalan state and society, such measures remain little more than symbolic, as inadequate funding, racist attitudes within PDH mid- to high-level functionaries, and a lack of institutional will to train functionaries to understand, identify and process systematic violations of indigenous peoples' rights sufficiently impede the effective addressing of profound structural inequalities. The norms and behavior within state institutions and the attitudes of state functionaries operating from within Guatemala's post-conflict multicultural state are today, then, shaped by more subtle forms of exclusion and marginalization of indigenous populations, leading us to question the impact of institutional change on transformations in the political culture.

i SAH with my 2 babies, dh is in construction and waiting for some work to come around. due to his union, he cant look for work, so we just have to sit around and wait.
and wait.
i will not leave the babies during the day, so im thinking of a night schedule. please tell me your situation the only thing im really qualified for is childcare, but that wouldnt work in the night. hhhmmm.... fast food is the next option
Coffee, Vintage and Kids. My Life.
I just recently got a new job working 12 hour day shifts because I couldn't see DP home every night with two babies. I initially took the night job because I thought it would give me more time with my little lady, but it has been worse for us.
I just recently started back to work. It's evenings and weekends, so not quite the same as over night, but I don't need daycare this way. So far, so good.
It's in retail. This is a good time of year to try to find a retail job, but it will probably be temporary.

yslexic typing with help of preschooler, beware of typos
I work nights Sat-Wed in network technical support, but when I was in college I got jobs in various industries working nights... food manufacturing and retail, specifically. You DO have to sleep during the day, though. It won't work without child care.
I've been working overnights in retail for a couple of years now. I used to work 4 shifts/week, then switched to 4 mornings a week in the cash office and 2 overnight shifts/week. I'm bucking for a full time overnight supervisor position, if I get it then I'll go full time, which will stink but with Dh out of work (still going to school full time tho), we desperately need the money.
You gotta do what you gotta do.
One thing, it is unreasonable to expect to be able to watch little ones and sleep at the same time. DD was 4 and a bit when I started overnights, and it was rough for her at first. At 7 she's better adjusted to it, but I have no illusions that it'll be feasible to be alone with the baby when I need to sleep during the day past the point when he gets mobile.
Fortunately I plan on going back to school next fall myself, and plan to give up the job then.
breastfeeding, babywearing, homeschooling Heathen parent to my little Wanderer, 7 1/2 , and baby Elf-stone, 3/11!
Exotic dancer..I have no schedule at all, but try for 4 nights per week, usually from about 8-2. I can usually get about 6.5 hours of sleep and that's been working well (knock on wood!). It can be a juggling act for childcare for 3yo DS. He tried 1/2 days Montessori this year, but we decided he's just not ready for it yet..so we have a part-time nanny come in the morning to watch him while I sleep. I love my job :)
I work nights as a HUC/PCT in a large hospital about an hour from home. I work 7p-7a and I get NO time with my kids on the day after I work. It's rough. I usually get up at 7am with the kids, am up with them all day, and then work 7-7, so I am up for 24 hours the first day, and then get home around 9am, sleep from about 9:30-4:30, leave for work at 5:30. I see the kids, hug them, and then kiss them goodbye. That's pretty much it :(

I didn't quite get the address, but it's on Catherine street just off of bowery (going toward the river it's on your left, 2nd store front, yellow awning with chinese writing: 一口茶)
They have just opened, offering Taiyaki - the Japanese fish-shaped pancake filled with red bean paste. So far only red beans, and a savory ham and cheese, both were nice. The owner said more to come after they officially open. Fillings like chestnuts, custard, and green tea (in the batter).
I often crave obanyaki and taiyaki but seldom have time to go to Mitsuwa these days. This was a nice place to have here.
The tea house part so far is bubble tea.

The Dismemberment Plan "Waiting"
Published Jul 16, 2013
While it starts off with a rousing, Sousa-styled (if not Sousa proper) marching band beat, the song quickly veers off into the D-Plan's day-festival funkiness, with vocalist Travis Morrison half-rapping cornball, welcome-back-themed lines ("Well look who it is / Been a little while since you've been up in my biz") like a long-lost Barenaked Lady.
There's all sorts of screwiness embedded within the structure of the song, from glitchy drum pad and marimba hits to a Hawaiian Punch-drunk slide guitar, and you can check it out for yourself down below.
As previously reported, the Dismemberment Plan's Uncanney Valley hits retailers October 15 through Partisan.

Like another post I read, I too am having trouble playing my netflix instant movies. I called netflix and they said it was a microsoft error code. This started about a week or so ago and I have done everything I possibly can to correct this issue. This is
how I found out I even had Silverlight on my computer. I have tried unstalling it to reinstall and it will not allow me to because it says it cannot find the patch, and then when I try to go to the website for help it says I already have it downloaded. But
I try to download it again and it is unsuccessful. I feel like a gerbil in a wheel right now and I am getting very frustrated because I want to watch my movies that I am paying for. Can someone please help me get rid of this off my computer and possibly reinstall
it? I am getting to the point where I do not want it back on my computer. HELP PLEASE!
All i did was switch browsers from explorer 8 to google chrome and it had no problem playing my movie

Pasco alum Joey Ivie making impact in Gators' fall camp
The Florida media guide describes Joey Ivie as a player who "could play both end and tackle", but for now he's making his biggest impact at defensive tackle.
Florida coach Will Muschamp said Monday that Ivie has been moved to tackle and he's pleased with his progress so far.
"He's done some really nice things," Muschamp said. "He's up to 285-290. But he's a guy that's really playing square, really playing blocks well. I'm very pleased with his progress in camp."
Ivie, a Pasco alum, saw action in three of the final five games of the 2013 season. He had three tackles against Georgia Southern and saw time in the defensive line rotation.
He has been consistent in his play during open practices, and is clearly making a strong push for a starting job.
"He's playing blocks extremely well," Muschamp said. "We've just got to continue to build depth inside and he's holding the point extremely well. He's getting off blocks well. He's a guy that's, you know, has progressed very well. Steady progression through every day at practice and coming out. At times in the fall he showed it last year. In the spring, he was very inconsistent. He's been much more consistent in his play and how he's playing. So that's been, I've felt, that's been a really good pleasant, not surprise, but we're really pleased with where he is."

The White House budget proposal nearly always sees the light of day in February of each year, but this year the release came on April 10. The late release came with good news for the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), bad news for big pharma, and a mixed bag for everyone else.
This is, of course, if theoretical news is news at all, since the proposed budget doesn't typically get passed as is. Congress has called for the budget to end sequestration, and this one would. However, it is in excess of $160 billion, not only over the limit set by the Congressional Budget Office but also higher than the budget resolutions of the House and Senate. (See BioWorld Today, March 22, 2013.)
Here is a recap of the White House budget proposal for 2014.
Big pharma will take a hit if Obama gets his budgetary way in 2014. Medicare would be able to pay lower Medicaid rates for some drugs and "Part D" manufacturer discounts for brand name drugs would increase by 50%. Generic drugs would receive heavy promotion over brand name drugs for low-income patients. Biologics would no longer be eligible for "evergreening," and their exclusivity would be limited to 7 years rather than the current 12 year limit. Finally, "pay for delay" agreements would be banned under this White House budget proposal.
The USPTO would be authorized under the budget to spend up to $ 3.071 billion. The office would also gain control over its revenues by retaining access to all user fees it collects in 2014. The issue of fee retention has been a point of contention in the past, so this would be victory for the USPTO. According to the Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) the budget explicitly states that ongoing "aggressive" patent pendency efforts will remain central to the USPTO mission.
The medical countermeasure (MCM) industry would receive a notable boost from the 2014 budget as proposed by the White House. Between FDA funding and funding for the NIH Concept Acceleration Program, the 2014 plan budgets $415 million for development of MCMs. This is not including the $250 million budgeted for the BioShield Special Reserve Fund or the $140 million set aside to support various vaccine programs.
For the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there is a proposed budget increase of $821 million from 2012. $10 million of that increase is earmarked for agency inspections in China. However, despite the budget boost the budget decreases FDA spending for biologics, drugs and medical devices by $15 million.
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy indicates that overall there would be more than a one per cent increase in R&D funding which would receive in excess of $140 billion.
