Breathe, girl, BREATHE.
I am getting SO excited. Each day, I review another segment of our itinerary.
While I am completely stressed out at work and due to the fact that I will be traveling in Amsterdam for a week (departing one week from tomorrow) before my husband and I depart for our first trip to Africa, I cannot let any of that distract me.
I am now running through last minute details.. what to pack, what I still need to purchase (little things like extra batteries, travel size toiletries, etc..), things I need to photocopy and bring with us as well as leave with trusted family/friends, etc.. the list seems to be neverending. Each day passes and I cross one thing off, it seems that 3 more items appear! I guess I just want to make sure we have everything covered. I've never been away for more than 2 weeks, and this is double that!
Just wanted to share our excitement, vent a little and if anyone has any last minute additions or advice, I would be so appreciative if you could share!
I also wanted to send yet another thank you to all of you that helped me along the planning process. This is my trip of a lifetime, and the research I have done on this site has proved to be more helpful than any other.
With gratitude,
Two weeks and counting.. my first Africa trip!

You have given yourself the best advice, but I will repeat it--breathe, girl, breathe--and soon you will be breathing in that exotic African air. Have a great trip!

Here's the best piece of pre-trip advice I can come up with - as you are photocopying those visas and passports, in all the excitement, don't leave the originals on the scanner! (actually happened to a friend of mine, had to go back to SF from NY en route to India....!)
Enjoy your trip and we are all looking forward to a trip reprot to add to my index when you get back!

In addition to your regular packing list, make a seperate one to use for your departure day. Make a list of everything you need to do or put in your carry-on before you leave. For example, if you need to use your hairbrush, etc on the last day and then pack it to take with you, put it on your "last day" list. List your tickets, passports, money, itinerary etc. By having this list (made out beforehand) it takes a little of the stress out of actually leaving the house and wondering if you have forgotten anything.
Have a wonderful trip!

Oher advice I am sure you've heard:
Carry a notebook or journal, jot down some great things that happen.
Carry 2 - 3 times as much film as you think you will need
If you are a photo junkie like me, you will be prepared to shoot 50 pics per day. You may not do that but it is good to be ready.
But don't get so caught up filming that you don't just sit there and enjoy. TAKE IT ALL IN -

hey BostonGal:
Thanks for soliciting this advice. I am taking notes. Lynda, your advice made me laugh out loud--but then scared me that I might do that! -

I read this idea in the wine column of the Wall Street Journal, and I intend to follow it from now on: Put a bottle of bubbly in the fridge to welcome yourself home after the trip!
I love the "last day" list, Sundowner. I'll do that from now on too.
Have a wonderful time, BostonGal! -

ooh that last day list is genious, thanks sundowner!
Lynda - oh no! I'll be sure to grab the originals.
wayne - trust me, no worries about pics. My husband and I actually take a camera each and always take at least 200 per day, I know we're crazy!
Celia - I never thought of celebrating upon arrival back home.. hm something to consider =)
Thanks for all the great advice and tips!

Wow - I remember that excited/nervous/anxious feeling so well. My husband and I took our first trip to East Africa last January and the week before leaving was so exciting and so emotional! Just wait until the feeling of when the plane first touches down on African soil... it's very surreal!
Have a wonderful trip - I'm extremely envious! -

Have a great trip and safe travels! And remember, it's never too early to start planning your 2nd trip to Africa!

Hints: we were in Kenya and Tanzania in November. Bring an adapter and you can recharge an electric toothbrush in the 'shaver' outlet in the bathroom. You can also use same to recharge lithium batteries. No one asked about yellow fever shots and we never paid 'departure' taxes. Have a great time. We did!

eezam -
The departure tax from Kenya is included in your air ticket. Only from Tanzania is there now a security departure fee, payable in cash. As to Yellow Fever, it not a "must" requirement for admittence to either Kenya or Tanzania. The decision to have this is based on your discussion with your physician and whethere you will, within a given time (believe 6-wks or 6-months) be traveling to a country that requires it after having been to Kenya or Tanzania.
BostonGal -
I still get excited when heading off to Africa; never any different, in fact, I'm more excited with each trip. So just keep breathing... it'll be worth every breath you take! -

Check your electrical equipment to be sure it runs on 240 V (as well as 110 V), if it doesn't pick up a converter. Even if it does, you will also need adapters so they will plug into outlets in Africa. Bring good binoculars for each person. I can't believe the number of times I've seen people who spent lots of money on transportation and lodging miss an amazing sight because they skimped on binoculars. Have a great time!

I definitely remember that excitement too... I must be honest and say that whilst I'm wishing the very very best trip for you I'm also consumed with envy too! I HAVE to get me back on safari this year if it kills me!
I'm leaving for India myself next week and am getting somewhat excited about that trip though it's tempered by the fact that my husband isn't joining me for this trip (it's expensive, he didn't fancy it that much and I know lots of others doing it anyway so he encouraged me to go on my own) and it's the longest we'll have been apart for well over 10 years...
You're going to have a WONDERFUL trip and we'll all be here waiting to hear every detail about it when you get home! -

The truly horrible thing is that I've been home for over a month and STILL haven't finished my trip report! I am on day 13, page 19. A couple more days to finish and then I'll post, I promise!!!
Thanks for all your well wishes though -

IS iContact
Intellispire's iContact Plugin is developed to act as a bridge between Joomla! and iContact Email Marketing Solutions. If you have an iContact account setup, you are ready to manage your mailing list and subscriptions from right within your website. The simplified, flexible and seamless integration is just a few clicks away.Yet another simple, elegent, plugin that packs a lot of marketing punch.
Requires: iContact account, PHP 5.2+, Joomla 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 2.5 and 3.0. Supports php 5.3 and 5.4
Latest Update: v5.9: Improved Community Builder Compatibility, Updated for Joomla! 3.0
I purchased this plugin because it said it worked with community builder. It is true that the user is automatically added to iContact, however, only the email field is properly transferred. I opened a support ticket about 4 weeks ago and have still not heard anything from Intellispire. You can get a similar product for free at Joomlashack, so why pay for this one, as it offers no other features?

I finished an install and everything appears to be fine. The problem is that none of the images show up in the category and product pages. Even if I upload a new image, it doesn't show. In fact, when I upload the image in the Maintain Products page, it looks like it uploads just fine, but nothing shows when I do a roll-over. I've checked my permissions, and it's all fine. The products are visible and enabled. The only thing that doesn't show are the images. Even the placeholders don't show.
I can't find anything that gives even a hint of what I should be checking. It has to be a setting but what???
Here are a few items for you to check: - check if you have all the permissions on media folder that allow you to do all the actions with it - images size should be less than 2 MB (since as I know Magento does not upload images bigger than 2 MB) - check if there is enough space at your FTP for images upload - check if in image names there are no spaces - check the sort order of images. - make sure that during import you assign images to media gallery and that they are assigned as small, base and thumbnail. - check if your image uploaded to correct subfolders at your FTP.
I can offer you the solution to check images by means of their diagnostics. That kind of diagnostics available in the application called Store Manager for Magento. Also you can use it to re-upload images. There is 2-week free version of the application, you can download it here - http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/catalog/product/view/id/14665/s/store-manager-for-magento-pro-edition
In case you need any assistance on any of the mentioned above points, please, let me know.
Keep me posted if it helps.

It's cheap and it's beer, but that's about it. To me, it doesn't have a ton of flavor and seems watered down. But, that's coming from someone used to much stronger beers like Great Lakes, Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, etc. so take it for what's it worth.
I bought Yuengling the other day to try it again and to save a few bucks. I was hoping it was going to be better than I remembered. Unfortunately, it wasn't. I doubt I'll buy it again.
On a different note, I went to Zip's last Saturday and had the Great Lakes Christmas Ale on draft again. Fantastic as usual. I try to make an annual trip there for a burger and the beer.
Yuengling is a decent beer. It isn't going to have a micro brew taste and I agree you can classify it along the lines of Miller or Bud, however I think its better than those two. I think a good comp is Sam Adams, smaller mass market brew.
I had Great Lakes Christmas Ale up in Canton this weekend. It was good, not as great as people claim it to be. And it didn't sit too well with me.
I had some Left Hand Brewery Pilsner the other day and it was very good.

The thought of winning a trip to sunny, exotic Minneapolis and a new Dodge was too much for one woman to handle on today's "The Price Is Right."
Right after hearing the Showcase prize she could win, one of the contestants fell straight backwards, landing flat on her ass.
Fear not -- she got up ... and won!
she thought she won a night of sex with that fat guy..made her pass out..she was heard to say ,,"but its not bob barker,,its some fat dude"
Old bag should have fallen on Bob Barker himself. Put BOTH those dirtbags out of commission. :-)
What did she think was going to happen at the end of the Showcase after Rich talked about how contestants love winning cars in the lead-in? It's one thing to be caught by surprise, but Nancy should really have seen this coming.
Maybe the reporters for TMZ should go to Minneapolis and see what it is like there may not have a ocean there or nasty smog but at least the people are freindly un like California.I've been to minneapolis and I enjoyed myself while I was there.
Hilarious... but not at all the first time that happened on PiR - Bob could get those girls to literally lose their minds!

I'm not passing any judgment on any of the four reactions. In fact, a mixture of the four responses may be entirely appropriate in different situations with different people. One size does not fit all.
Throw into the mix the individual backgrounds of the folks who are involved, and you can really stir the pot. For example, one person might have grown up in a family where "spirited debates" were welcomed and encouraged. However, this type of interaction may seem extremely harsh to someone who grew up with more polite banter at the dinner table.
This reminds me of a phrase I learned several years ago: " 'Leave it to Beaver' left." It's meant to convey that the placid days of Ward, June, Wally and Beaver Cleaver in the long-running sitcom have gone by the wayside.
Speaking of Beaver Cleaver, I had the opportunity to meet the actor who played the character on TV. Jerry Mathers was in Charleston two weeks ago. He's now 62 years old (and has the same birthday as my mother and my business partner, Mark Polen). Mathers was here to speak about his personal challenges with diabetes, and how he turned his life around for the better. He also had the chance to elaborate on his former show, which he said is the longest-running sitcom on TV.
Back to the four responses. Here's my take. If you authentically agree with the stated position, no problem (unless it harms someone else).
If you choose to compete for the floor, it's a wild card. In a perfect world, the subject could be debated in a civil manner that would bring out points for both sides to thoughtfully consider.
Yeah, right.
More often, this type of communication can escalate to such a fever pitch that the people involved dig themselves in deeper and deeper in an effort to be "right." And a power struggle ensues.
The two responses that take the biggest toll on us, in my opinion, are Nos. 3 and 4. To blindly go along with the most dominant voice (who can often be a bully of sorts) or to stay silent (implying agreement) can wear you down after a while.
Like I said, we all pick our battles. Just tune into your feelings for a read on the situation. At times, it may be better to keep the peace. At other times you may need to stand up for your principles in order to be authentic. As Shakespeare said, "To thine own self be true."
And in terms of giving credit where credit is due, I'd like to thank the Charleston Area Medical Center and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America for bringing Jerry Mathers to Charleston, and The Manahan Group for coordinating the arrangements for the event.
Remember to be on the lookout for those teachable and learnable moments. They're all around us. And, when calculating your internal credit score, be sure to give yourself some credit -- and don't judge yourself so harshly. After all, the ability to change your score is within your grasp at all times.
On that note, we could all use June Cleaver's advice when she admonished her husband for being too critical of their son: "Ward, don't be so hard on The Beav."

Taken as we entered the small village in the Ourika Valley, this local man came down to see the tourist buses and watch as yet another party load of people traipsed through the dusty streets before climbing up into the mountains.
The climb wasn't too difficult even balancing a DSLR but the waterfalls were a little disappointing. There were some lovely views on the way up however. All the way up the street and into the mountains were small stalls dotted about with hand made jewellery and other trinkets.
After an hour hike up into the mountains over rocky terrain there really is nothing quite like the welcoming site of another hand made bracelet! :D
Taken handheld with a Canon 50d and a Sigma 18-50mm lens.

In August of 2013, the Joomla Extensions Directory (JED) Team put out a Request for Proposals looking for developers interested in designing a new Joomla 3.x component to manage JED listings. The JED Team also released a list of JED 3.x Requirements outlining the required functionality needed for the component.
Nine proposals were submitted and the JED Team narrowed the list down to three submissions based on scope, viability and the timeframe to complete the project. The final three candidates were interviewed by members of the JED Team who determined that Fabrikar had the best solution.

I am pleased to announce the launch of our localisation project for Joomla! documentation. Using an extension designed specifically for translation of pages, our documentation can now be translated. In fact, the translation will be close to the original content of a current documentation page. Once translated, a page will be tracked and when needed, it can be updated easily if the content changes.
For a long time, our international community has desired Joomla! documentation in their native language. One of the major hurdles was deciding how and what tools to use for translating our documentation. This not only included how...
The board of directors of Open Source Matters (OSM) is requesting public feedback from our community members through March 6, 2014, regarding a potential license change for the Joomla! Framework from the GPL to the LGPL. This potential license change would only apply to the Joomla Framework, but not to the Joomla Content Management System (CMS).
Early last year, following a previous public email list discussion, the Joomla Production Leadership Team (PLT) conducted a survey with the Joomla developer community to learn more about how they felt about potentially relicensing the Joomla Framework, but not the...
Shortly after being selected to serve as Treasurer of Open Source Matters, I presented my vision for managing the financial interests of the Joomla project. This short presentation (PDF) was delivered at the 2013 Leadership Summit in November in Boston.
The main point of the presentation was to solicit feedback from all the leadership teams regarding things that were working well when it came to the project's accounting practices, and of course things that needed improvement. The main takeaways from this part of the summit were as follows:

Women who wanted to continue the connections they had made in Newcomers, an organization for new families in town, founded Milldames over 40 years ago. Both organizations provide a social and community service outlet. Over the years Milldames has been involved in many service projects. Members have volunteered at the hospital and the library.
Members provide two lunches each year to the Council on Aging, they serve at the Open Table, and they have helped with Concord Prison Outreach. Many of the original FISH volunteers came from Milldames and there are many still involved. FISH is an organization that provides rides to and from medical appointments in or near Concord for those who are unable to drive themselves. FISH will be covered in a later column.
The group also has fun. They have a book group and a bridge group. When Milldames started there was a potluck lunch group that has morphed and members now have the opportunity to try different area restaurants. Once a month Milldames has an "event," such as a tour of the , Nov. 4. Past events included museum trips and lectures. A newsletter, with Louise Haldeman as editor, is published monthly.
For further information contact Rosemary Lionetta, president, 978-369-2101, email@example.com. or Polly Murray, treasurer, 978 369 6937, email@example.com. Dues are $20 per year. Each year Milldames awards scholarships to two special needs graduates of our high school who are planning to attend college.
The next time you go to the note the bench at the Sudbury Road entrance. The Milldames gave the bench to the library on its 40th birthday.
Meet the Milldames
Milldames have been forming friendships for 40 years.

Four goals in the third period helped make a record-setting night for Chris Driedger even more memorable.
Led by a pair of rookie defenceman, the Calgary Hitmen skated to a 4-1 win over the Brandon Wheat Kings on Thursday.
The Calgary Hitmen rebounded from a lacklustre second period with three goals in the third to down the Kootenay Ice 4-1 on Monday night.
The duo of Chase Lang and Linden Penner picked a great time to notch their first goals of the season.
There is that inevitable time during a junior hockey career when a young man must assume a larger, more significant responsibility. In Chase Lang's case, that time is now.
Spencer Humphries knew this day was coming but, still, it never makes it any easier.
No matter what form of delivery, no matter when, the end of one's Western Hockey League season is always surreal.
For any rookie, in any league, the finest details of your first season are magnified.
RED DEER — Through his tenure as a coach in the National Hockey League and Western Hockey League, Brent Sutter has developed a strong reputation for defensively sound teams.
Keep your eyes on Alex Roach and Mathew Dumba
Cody Sylvester must have gotten a little hoarse from thanking so many individuals on Sunday afternoon in the Fairmont Palliser's Crystal Ballroom. But really, it's the Calgary Hitmen who should be thanking their lucky stars for this talented and inspirational 20-year-old.
Calgary kicks off journey with 3-2 win in Medicine Hat on Tuesday night
When Mike Williamson was pencilling in his lineup for Sunday's date with the visiting Brandon Wheat Kings, he had a few decisions to make.
Details of Chase Lang's first and second Western Hockey League goals are blurry.
One of the New Year's resolutions of the Calgary Hitmen was to improve their home record and to be tougher customers at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
Squad earns no less than a B- throughout the lineup
Ranford scores decisive goal in tiebreaker as Blazers keep on rolling
Blazers score five power play goals to hand Calgary its first regulation loss of the season, 5-2

Yahoo Submission Form Down?
Yahoo's free submission form has been down for about a month now as originally
reported by Barry Swartz at Search Engine Roundtable. Danny Sullivan posted today that it is still down. There is even ongoing threads about this at both Search Engine Watch Forums and Webmaster World.
Warning: personal rant coming. I am surprised that people still concern themselves over submitting their site to search engines. Why? Because you do not need to submit your web site for inclusion into Yahoo. Same is true of Google and MSN. They will find your site on their own. In fact, I personally believe submission forms simply exist to lead people to believe that they can submit their sites so they will not bug the search engines with inquiries on how to submit their site. In other words, I think they are completely ignored and have even heard a search engine rep from Google allude to that in a past Search Engine Strategies conference (although they wouldn't out right admit it).
If you want to get your new site into Yahoo, Google or MSN, all you need to do is get a few sites that are already in their index to link to yours. Directories such as Go Guides, JoeAnt, Skaffe and WoW are a good place to start. The big three will find your site on their own. They actually prefer it this way. The majority of submissions they receive through submission forms are spam anyway. I can understand this as someone who operates four separate company sites in which we get a ton of spam through our various inquiry forms.
So who cares if Yahoo's submission form is broken? You don't need it anyway. I haven't submitted a site in this manner for probably five years or more now and all the sites I deal with still get in the index. I would like to see all the big three do away with free submission forms. Ask Jeeves doesn't have one and they still index sites. Sure Yahoo, Google and MSN might get bombarded with inquiries but hey, that is what auto-responders are good for?

A Strange Eventful History (Magill's Literary Annual 2010)
Lest anyone think that the culture of celebrity is a recent invention, Michael Holroyd's generally engrossing account of the lives of Ellen Terry, Henry Irving, and their numerous children and romantic partners contains many examples of just how enthusiastically their contemporaries loved and idolized these icons of the British stage. Their every movement was front-page news for journalists catering to the public's desire to know the most trivial details of their lives, and, in this fishbowl atmosphere, relationships with their children, lovers, and professional associates were subject to the kind of intense scrutiny that can either harden or unbalance its recipients. Although Terry and Irving were by temperament and training able to stand up to this constant attention, their children and friends often reacted to it in much more negative ways. As a consequence, A Strange Eventful History for the most part more than lives up to its title, as it reveals in compelling detail how life on the public stage could result in severely troubled private lives.
Ellen Terry was born into the world of the theater in 1847, although at a much lower level than that she would eventually achieve. Her father was a competent supporting actor. Her mother took theatrical odd jobs between pregnancies, and most of the family's nine children would go on to have some sort of theatrical career. The family's life was one of frequent travel from one provincial playhouse to another, punctuated by periodic unemployment and occasional longer runs in successful productions, and from her earliest days Terry was fascinated by the atmosphere of the stage. In 1856, she made her London debut in William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale (pr. c. 1610-1611, pb. 1623) at the age of nine. Despite a series of both professional and personal ups and downsincluding an abortive early marriage and a nonmarital relationship that resulted in the birth of two childrenby her early thirties, she had become the brightest star on the London stage.
Terry's eventual partner in celebrity, Henry Irving, came from a much different background. His father was so unsuccessful as a travelling salesman that Irving (born John Henry Broadribb) was at the age of four sent to live with an aunt in Cornwall, a region at the time connected to the rest of England only by steamboat. Living in a remote mining village where entertainments were few and far between, he was enthralled by the touring theatrical companies that occasionally visited the area. At a Christmas party, he was scared out of his wits when a boy wearing a terrifying mask burst into a darkened room. He always remembered this incident as proof of the power of acting and, when reunited with his family in London at the age of eleven, insisted on following a theatrical career. He progressed slowly but steadily to the point that, by the early 1870's, he had changed his name to Henry Irving and become one of England's leading actors.
Irving and Terry first acted together in 1867, but his performance was panned by the critics and there seems to have been no romantic interest between them at the time. Irving married in 1869 after a whirlwind romance, but the following year he and his wife began a series of separations and reconciliations, during which two children were born. Meanwhile, Irving's increasing professional success seemed to drive him further from his wife. Forced to chose between his family and his career, he made it clear that he loved the theater more than he did his family. Devoting himself to a hectic acting schedule while also assuming managerial responsibility for one of London's largest theaters, Irving rapidly became one of the people to reckon with in his chosen profession.
As Irving began to partner...

Celebrating the Moment
The walls are going up, and it's time to make decisions on the things I've been vacillating over—kitchen layout, furniture placement, entry space usage, etc. The current design allows the master bedroom to be part of the main room. Large, asymmetrical double doors open up a large portion of the wall (see plan). Do I want my bedroom to feel like more of an extension of the space, or do I want it to be a separate entity? Do I need a mudroom? Just how muddy is it? Do I really want to live in the country? It's all quite daunting.
Elevation of asymmetrical bedroom door
I wish I could find a better way of showing this. Can you tell what you're looking at? The door between the bed and living room is so wide, it allows the bedroom to become part of the larger space. Or I could use only the small door and keep it more private.
Inner Monologue:
Take a deep breath and remember that you are a design professional; you do this for a living. Relax. You're a mature adult going through a rite of passage (though, yes, rather late in life). You will come through this a wiser, more mature and, for sure, poorer individual. So what if you're using up all your savings? Who cares that you owe more money than you ever thought possible? The bigger picture is you now co-own a house with Kinderhook Bank; you're partnered with Visa on some fabulous kitchen cabinets; you're sharing custody of a car with Volkswagen Credit; and you're joined with Master Card on a myriad of household items. You're pretty sure you own your land outright. Does that make you landed gentry?
So back to issue at hand—DESIGN. The main goal in the design is to create the most flexible, adaptable space possible. The whole purpose of having one large living space is that it will work for anything and everything—formal sitting room, dining room, flower arranging room, discotheque. Possibilities abound!
Going further with this concept, all the surfaces should offer the same freedom—nothing precious, nothing to worry about. I've chosen concrete floors and honed granite countertops. The high ceilings and large windows will make the place bright and airy. The over-scaled fireplace is a focal point and, along with radiant heat, a source of warmth.
Example of a concrete floor
The kitchen, an integral part of the main room, should have function as the guiding rule in its design. I don't cook (the refrigerator in my NYC apartment has been broken for 15 years), so the location of the phone jack is essential. Some of the local restaurants require reservations.
In response to the hundreds of comments regarding the front door placement, I have decided to put it in the entry pavilion (how novel!), as per my architect's design. Please note, Laura Bohn, how flexible I can be! And Kitty Hawks, retiring may have been a little extreme. Stopping short of a porte-cochere, I will, in the words of my first employer John Saladino "celebrate the moment of entry."

Home > Research Legal Advice > Immigration > Legal fees for new waiver I 601 A. Looking for a experienced lawyer.
My wife entered this country without inspection. I know the new waiver will be in effect March 4th. We have a daughter who is 16 months old. I've sent the I-130 with all the documentations necessary with it. We are looking for a lawyer around Boston who can help us from now on. I would like to know how much would a lawyer charge to help me fill the I 601 A form.
Lawyers don't discuss fees online so you'll have to do your own research to find the best person to handle your case. Keep in mind that as immigration lawyers many of us customarily represent clients all over the country.
When you look for an attorney, I suggest that you ask whether waivers constitute a large part of their practice, what kind of experience they have in waivers, what kind of contact you can expect with the attoney (will your case be handled primarily by a paralegal, assistant, or an attorney), etc.
Don't speak legalese? We define thousands of terms in plain English.

Niles edged in double overtime
Published 11:07pm Tuesday, December 11, 2012The youth-laden Niles girls basketball team came within four seconds Tuesday night of what would have been its first victory of the season.
Enter New Buffalo senior Zoe Lauricella.
Lauricella buried a 3-point bomb from the right baseline with four ticks remaining in overtime, and New Buffalo eventually escaped with a 52-49 victory in double-overtime over coach Pat Touhey's Lady Vikings.
"We're disappointed," Touhey said. "It's a hard discussion to have with the kids (after the game) when you're so close to putting the game away."
Niles (0-3) certainly had its chances down the stretch, but couldn't finish.
The Lady Vikings led 49-47 halfway through the second extra session, but committed consecutive turnovers on their final four possessions to seal their fate.
New Buffalo converted three free throws during the final 54 seconds.
"We've been struggling with (turnovers) all year," added Touhey, whose team turned the ball over 38 times. "Some of that comes with learning and the youth that we have."
Touhey again started four freshmen, and the Lady Vikings stepped up in the fourth quarter on both ends of the court.
Freshman Elizabeth Moody's 3-point basket with 3:06 remaining in regulation tied the score at 37-37, and a triple by freshman Maya Brookins just over a minute later staked Niles to the lead.
The Lady Vikings made four consecutive stops on defense down the stretch, before New Buffalo senior Jade Madison turned an offensive rebound into the game-tying layup with 23 seconds left on the clock.
"Down the stretch, a couple of times, they were on the free throw line and missed and we didn't box the shooter out and they got second and third putbacks," Touhey said. "Those are focus things that mature teams understand that that play is an important play.
On the heels of Lauricella's clutch trey that produced the second overtime, Touhey expressed pride in how his team responded to the situation.
"It was a huge shot and it could have put a dagger in our heart going into the second overtime, because we were so close to tasting victory," he said. "My heart sunk.
"I was wondering whether we would be able to rise to the occasion and have enough in us to overcome that adversity. I think our kids answered the call. They didn't stop fighting. They wanted that game very badly.
"As far as I'm concerned, they gave their best effort, and to me that defines success. I don't care that we had three less points than they did at the end of the game. In my eyes, our kids were winners."
Moody scored a team-high 12 points for Niles, while junior Lashonda Greene chipped in with 11 points and a game-high 13 rebounds.
New Buffalo got a game-high 22 points and 10 rebounds from Madison.
"Both teams just battled it out and played 100 percent," New Buffalo coach Candy VanBuskirk said. "Neither side gave up and I was impressed with the poise that the Niles underclassmen played with."
Zoe Lauricella 7, Jade Madison 22, Kristine Kucera 7, Dana Handley 5, Breanna Workman 4, Chloe Topolski 0, Julia Ritter 0, Liza Kelly 7, Kelsey Tanksley. TOTALS: 17 17-30 52

Having so many options in digital strategy and execution often means we falsely confuse the richness of a program or campaign with complexity, and in doing so lose the focus that will help us move our business goals forward. Simple in most things is usually better, and digital strategy is no exception. There is no badge of honor for including a ridiculous number of tactical elements nor does it make a program more effective. A highly fragmented digital strategy can make it more difficult to track, more expensive to maintain, more time consuming to optimize, and complicated to extract actionable insights. The rule of three is a good one in this instance. If a digital element does not satisfy one (or more) of these three primary goals then you should strongly question why it is included in your plan.
No. 1: Selling
Every brand or business is hoping to build toward a sale with their marketing or online marketing. Some just have faster and more direct routes. E-commerce businesses get minute-to-minute feedback and can use their digital campaigns and programs for many kinds of critical testing against a singular sales objective. Does this tweak create more revenue within my cost and profit parameters? Site conversion optimization, message testing, offer testing, landing page testing - the list is endless. The sales feedback for a consumer-packaged goods (CPG) brand is delayed and obscured, but with deliberate planning can be just as important in meeting healthy sales goals. Business to business efforts may have longer sales cycles and different issues but they are building toward a sale as well. Depending on the vertical and the decision and buying process, the road to a sale might include stops for branding or awareness efforts, educational commitments, trial offers, or many other defined events. You can't narrowly define sales as just the end point of the actual purchase. If your plans are moving your qualified audience toward a sale in a timely and cost-efficient manner then that is a good investment.
No. 2: Building
If you can't convert the user immediately you need to concentrate on extending the thread of that contact into future opportunities - at least until you can determine they are no longer a prospect. If you do successfully motivate a conversion you still want to gain permissions for future contacts while you deliver a positive experience and capture whatever you can about that user or transaction that will make future contacts more productive for you and more relevant and comfortable for the user. Remarketing platforms like email lists and social communities give you permission and opportunity to continue the conversation. This creates future chances to convert, upsell, get a referral, or to learn something. Scale is important here as some opportunities only become such when they reach a certain depth of user base or data collection. If your email list is only a few hundred people you are not going to invest deeply in it, nor would the return be there if you did except under very unusual, niche situations. Social platforms also give you the added goal of moving consumers along an entirely different continuum culminating ideally in a brand or product advocate or evangelist that takes up your marketing for you. If your programs progressively deliver a better and more relevant experience for users then this is a good use of budget.
No. 3: Learning
Sometimes the best use of budget or resources is to learn something that helps you hone your approach or program for better results. Setting learning objectives should be as much a part of your planning process as any other goal. This requires a deliberate and funded effort and may require a change in corporate culture and process as very few organizations place the appropriate importance on learning activities. Think broadly about the questions you would love to have answered, prioritize them based on their potential impact on the business, and set aside the time and dollars to get your answers. Schedule your learning activities and manage them just like any other important effort so that they return timely and actionable insights that help move your business forward. If your programs get smarter over time and you have institutionalized the need for critical insights then you have invested wisely.

GAVI convenes health economists and other experts to discuss a research programme into the wider value of vaccines. Learn more about the outcome of the meeting.
Copyright GAVI/2007/Atul Loke
Geneva, 14 January 2013 - GAVI is bringing together a group of experts this week to better understand the full value of vaccines.
As well as preventing death and illness, we know that vaccines make a broader contribution to human and economic development. Some of the ways in which this happens are already well understood: children who are healthy do not require medical treatment or care that costs money; their families are then able to spend or save this money in other ways.
Other known and potential impacts require further research. For example: what is the link between vaccines, health and educational achievement? How can we measure the connection between childhood health and future economic prospects?
A group of 25 health economists and other experts from around the world are meeting in Annecy, France, to debate these and other related issues, and to agree on a programme of future research to answer some of the key questions raised.

Eliahu Inbal
Eliahu Inbal (born 16 February 1936, Jerusalem) is an Israeli conductor.
Inbal studied violin at the Israeli Academy of Music and took composition lessons with Paul Ben-Haim. Upon hearing him there, Leonard Bernstein endorsed a scholarship for Inbal to study conducting at the Conservatoire de Paris, and he also took courses with Sergiu Celibidache and Franco Ferrara in Hilversum, Netherlands. At Novara, he won first prize at the 1963 Guido Cantelli conducting competition.
Inbal made most of his early appearances in Italy, but a successful British debut in 1965 with the London Philharmonic led to a number of other engagements with British orchestras. He subsequently worked with a number of orchestras throughout Europe and in America, and eventually took joint British citizenship.
From 1974 to 1990, he was the principal conductor of the hr-Sinfonieorchester in Frankfurt. With them, he was the first to record the original versions of several of Anton Bruckner's symphonies, for which he won the Jahrespreis der deutschen Schallplatten-Kritik. He also recorded a complete cycle of the symphonies of Gustav Mahler and Shostakovich. From 1984 to 1989, he was chief conductor at La Fenice in Venice. From 2003 to 2011, he conducted a series of the complete symphonies of Bruckner at the Rheingau Musik Festival with the WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne, concluding with the unfinished Ninth Symphony.[1] He was appointed music director of La Fenice in January, 2007.
Inbal became the principal conductor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra in 2008, with an initial contract to 2011. In February 2008, the Czech Philharmonic announced the appointment of Inbal as its next chief conductor, effective with the 2009-2010 season.[2]
Inbal has conducted a wide variety of works. He is best known for his interpretations of late-Romantic works, but is also noted as an opera conductor, and has given the premieres of a number of modern works.

A Broad View of Macroeconomic Stability
This paper recommends a broad concept of macroeconomic stability, whereby "sound macroeconomic frameworks" include not only price stability and sound fiscal policies, but also a well-functioning real economy, sustainable debt ratios and healthy public and private sector balance sheets. These multiple dimensions imply using multiple policy instruments. The paper elaborates a framework for developing countries that involves active use of counter-cyclical macroeconomic policies (exchange rate, monetary and fiscal), together with capital management techniques (capital account regulations and prudential rules incorporating macroeconomic dimensions). It also explores the role of international financial institutions in facilitating developing countries' use of counter-cyclical macroeconomic policies.Download Info
