Get A Clue Buttons, Icons and More
LeakyHey guys, we've got a request. We need buttons and banners. Natalie, our designer, is in the midst of college application madness and we don't want to impose on that. So if we could tap the talents of our extraordinary readership for some banners (150x50, 300x100, or whatever size you think works), avatars and icons for online journals (100x100px), and buttons, we'd appreciate it greatly. Everything sent will be posted and credited - so thank you in advance! We've already got some great avatars/LJ icons:
From Ev Vy:
From DreamStigmata::
From Kia:
Thank you all for your continued support! We've sold hundreds of T-shirts so far, but we know you and know we can do better. Please feel free to take these and use them on your LJ/site/etc, but please also download the image and reupload it to your own web space - we're working on alternatives to that option, as well. Get the word out! Get a clue!

"Nice room, close to restaurants and bus"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 6, 2013
We loved staying here. The ladies are nice and helpful (one even speaks pretty good English). The breakfast is great. The rooms aren't fancy but are nice, clean and comfortable. It's a short walk to many restaurants and the bus stop.
"No frills but good"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 4, 2012
Located very close to the terminal central bus station (2 blocks) and around the corner from the main shopping district. Excellent churrascaria located 2 blocks to the west (Churrascaria do Gaúcho) for R$20 per person that includes an icre cream buffet. Hotel is extremely basic, and yes, there is NOT an elevator as others have mentioned. They also do not give you any shampoo. Aside from that, the AC unit is very strong and will cool the room in a mere minute or two. The TV quality sucks. The bed was ok and lots of blankets were provided.

FRAN vs. ETF Alternatives
Company Description
Francescas Holdings Corp operates a chain of retail boutiques selling apparel, jewelry, accessories and gifts.
Country: United States

Thursday, Feb 279:52 AM
- Starting Urban Outfitters (URBN +0.6%) at Outperform with $46 price target, analyst Morry Brown says it's is well-positioned to take on the two big challenges facing specialty retailers: The migration of sales to online and the continued growth of fast fashion retailers. "These two challenges play to URBN's strengths, as its 25% online penetration is tops within our coverage and the company's fashion execution and nimble supply chain have been two of its key competitive advantages since inception."
- "Look for Q1 to provide same store sales inflection," he says, starting Francesca's (FRAN +4.4%) with an Outperform and $25 PT. "We expect first sequential comp improvement in 7 quarters."
- 2014 is setting up well for off-price retailers, he says, initiating Ross Stores (ROST +0.4%) with Outperform and $83 PT. Catalysts? The easiest SSS comps since 2008, a favorable buying environment following weak holiday sales, ongoing market share gains, and the lack of secular headwinds (online buying) faced by specialty retail peers.
- Not everything's a Buy. Started at Neutral are Zumiez (ZUMZ) where Brown thinks it challenging to move to full-priced goods, Express (EXPR -0.6%) on worry about the recent trend in margin declines, and Buckle (BKE +0.4%) on "SSS headwinds from a promotional retail sector ... We await some relief in the promotional intensity across retail to turn more constructive."
- Also a Neutral is TJX Companies (TJX +0.1%). As with Ross, Brown notes the year is setting up well for off-price, but Street consensus and the stock's valuation appears to have already factored in this upside.

Wednesday, Jan 2910:21 AM
- Shares of Francesca's (FRAN -6.6%) slide after Goldman Sachs downgrades the retailer to a Sell rating from Neutral.
- The investment firm doesn't see a rebound in sales or margins for Francesca's as "structural" issues persist.
Wednesday, Jan 2910:21 AM| Comment! -
Thursday, Jan 161:12 PM
- Retail ETFs continue to under-perform market indexes for the year as the hits keep coming in the sector. Today's dismantling of Best Buy follows up a relentless string of guidance cuts from apparel sellers and department store chains.
- Though many companies are taking advantage of their vibrant e-commerce channels, in most cases it's not enough to make up for soft store traffic.
- Weakness at malls in particular is a risk for the group. In that vein, five of the top ten holdings (FRAN, ANF, M, FINL, CAB) of the S&P Retail ETF (XRT) are companies that frequently set up shop at or near malls.
- Related ETFs: XLY, VCR, IPD, RTH, RETL, FXD, RXI, PMR, FDIS, RCD, PEZ, PSCD, AXDI

Thursday, Dec 52013, 2:59 PM
- Francesca's (FRAN -4.9%) are recovering some of their earlier losses after having plunged as much as 15.8% during pre-market trading. The drop was attributed to weaker-than-expected guidance.
- Management sees revenue of $90M-$95M in Q4 (+9% to 15% Y/Y) vs. analyst expectations of $98.3M on comps of -8% to -3%. EPS is seen at $0.25-$0.29 vs. expectations of $0.34. Revenue growth amid a comps slow down comes from continued store openings, with the company planning to open 5 new boutiques in the quarter.
- Canaccord Genuity, which has been bullish as shares have been run rough-shod since May, defended the retailer but lowered its PT to $30 from $35. Analyst Laura Champine sees the pullback as a long-term opportunity, noting "We do not think FRAN's growth potential is priced in with shares trading at 12x our FY14 EPS estimate and 7x FY14E EV/EBITDA."

- A negative report from Express (EXPR -20.7%) on Thanksgiving week sales isn't going unnoticed by apparel peers.
- The comments from execs with Express mirror some of the concerns of retail analysts on promotional activity in the sector and sluggish foot traffic. Earlier: Nomura warns on inventory challenges.

Tuesday, Nov 262013, 8:51 AM
- Janney downgrades Francesca's Holdings (FRAN) to Neutral from Buy, lowering its price target to $22 from $24. Analyst Adrienne Tennant is cautious given the poor environment and sees potential margin pressures.
- "We are downgrading shares of FRAN to Neutral from Buy based on the following: 1) challenging mall traffic and promotional environment that we believe will continue to pressure margins over the next 12 months, 2) potential for sustained negative comps in the near-to-medium-term, and 3) apparel and accessory trends that are not as strong as prior year."
- Checks suggest that Francesca's could be succumbing to the promotional pressure in the Young Adult/Young Women's sector and may need to run store-wide promotions in Q4. Checks also suggest that both apparel and accessory inventory is beginning to build.
- "We believe there is potential for the company to guide Q4 below the current consensus of $0.34; we are currently at $0.29. We do acknowledge that last year, in Q4, FRAN was increasingly promotional as well. We believe comps could continue to be negative, and there could be continued merchandise margin pressure due to the highly competitive nature of the mall, as well as building inventory entering the quarter based on our channel checks. In the near-term, we are cautious based on tough growth compares and the challenging mall environment, and we expect comps to remain negative for the foreseeable future as the sector remains under pressure."
- FRAN closed at $20.04 yesterday, with a 52-week range of $16.40-$32.43.

Monday, Oct 142013, 10:58 AM
- A group of shareholders file a lawsuit against Francesca's (FRAN +2%) over alleged security violations.
- In the complaint, the retailer stands accused of failing to disclose the level of discounting it undertook in Q1 just to meet financial targets.
- Shares of FRAN are down 41% over the last 90 days with a Q2 earnings miss helping to account for a good portion of the decline.

It took a [long] while, but v1 of the Bravery site is now live at http://braverytransmedia.com.
Crossing that task off of Wunderlist felt really good. There's lots to come, though. In order to get it out the door I decided to pare back some features originally slated for the first launch. Being nearly two months away from Bravery's one-year active mark, I felt like I need to at least get some visibility for the work we've been doing.
This first iteration is essentially a portfolio, blog/news section, and a contact form. That's it. There are some half-done pieces I hope to get up and running in the next few weeks, but we'll see how that turns out.
I'd love for you to take a look and give me your thoughts in the comments on this post.

I bought two colors of this dress. They fit great, are very light weight so they are cool and comfortable but very flattering. They look great dressed up with nice sandals and pearl necklace so you can wear it to work and look fantastic and feel relaxed. I Love THEM for summer, but you do need to wear a slip with them as they are a tiny bit see through.

Prying Open Single GroES Ring Complexes by Force Reveals Cooperativity across Domains Biophysical Journal, Volume 102, Issue 8, 18 April 2012, Pages 1961-1968 Akiko Ikeda-Kobayashi, Yukinori Taniguchi, David J. Brockwell, Emanuele Paci and Masaru Kawakami Abstract Understanding how the mechanical properties of a protein complex emerge from the interplay of intra- and interchain interactions is vital at both fundamental and applied levels. To investigate whether interdomain cooperativity affects protein mechanical strength, we employed single-molecule force spectroscopy to probe the mechanical stability of GroES, a homoheptamer with a domelike quaternary stucture stabilized by intersubunit interactions between the first and last β-strands of adjacent domains. A GroES variant was constructed in which each subunit of the GroES heptamer is covalently linked to adjacent subunits by tripeptide linkers and folded domains of protein L are introduced to the heptamer's termini as handle molecules. The force-distance profiles for GroES unfolding showed, for the first time that we know of, a mechanical phenotype whereby seven distinct force peaks, with alternating behavior of unfolding force and contour length (ΔLc), were observed with increasing unfolding-event number. Unfolding of (GroES)7 is initiated by breakage of the interface between domains 1 and 7 at low force, which imparts a polarity to (GroES)7 that results in two distinct mechanical phenotypes of these otherwise identical protein domains. Unfolding then proceeds by peeling domains off the domelike native structure by sequential repetition of the denaturation of mechanically weak (unfoldon 1) and strong (unfoldon 2) units. These results indicate that domain-domain interactions help to determine the overall mechanical strength and unfolding pathway of the oligomeric structure. These data reveal an unexpected richness in the mechanical behavior of this homopolyprotein, yielding a complex with greater mechanical strength and properties distinct from those that would be apparent for GroES domains in isolation.

Structural Adaptations in the Specialized Bacteriophage T4 Co-Chaperonin Gp31 Expand the Size of the Anfinsen Cage Cell, Volume 90, Issue 2, 25 July 1997, Pages 361-371 John F Hunt, Saskia M van der Vies, Lisa Henry and Johann Deisenhofer Summary The Gp31 protein from bacteriophage T4 functionally substitutes for the bacterial co-chaperonin GroES in assisted protein folding reactions both in vitro and in vivo. But Gp31 is required for the folding and/or assembly of the T4 major capsid protein Gp23, and this requirement cannot be satisfied by GroES. The 2.3 Å crystal structure of Gp31 shows that its tertiary and quaternary structures are similar to those of GroES despite the existence of only 14% sequence identity between the two proteins. However, Gp31 shows a series of structural adaptations which will increase the size and the hydrophilicity of the "Anfinsen cage," the enclosed cavity within the GroEL/GroES complex that is the location of the chaperonin-assisted protein folding reaction.

Asymmetry of the GroEL-GroES Complex under Physiological Conditions as Revealed by Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering Biophysical Journal, Volume 94, Issue 4, 15 February 2008, Pages 1392-1402 Tomonao Inobe, Kazunobu Takahashi, Kosuke Maki, Sawako Enoki, Kiyoto Kamagata, Akio Kadooka, Munehito Arai and Kunihiro Kuwajima Abstract Despite the well-known functional importance of GroEL-GroES complex formation during the chaperonin cycle, the stoichiometry of the complex has not been clarified. The complex can occur either as an asymmetric 1:1 GroEL-GroES complex or as a symmetric 1:2 GroEL-GroES complex, although it remains uncertain which type is predominant under physiological conditions. To resolve this question, we studied the structure of the GroEL-GroES complex under physiological conditions by small-angle x-ray scattering, which is a powerful technique to directly observe the structure of the protein complex in solution. We evaluated molecular structural parameters, the radius of gyration and the maximum dimension of the complex, from the x-ray scattering patterns under various nucleotide conditions (3mM ADP, 3mM ATPγS, and 3mM ATP in 10mM MgCl2 and 100mM KCl) at three different temperatures (10°C, 25°C, and 37°C). We then compared the experimentally observed scattering patterns with those calculated from the known x-ray crystallographic structures of the GroEL-GroES complex. The results clearly demonstrated that the asymmetric complex must be the major species stably present in solution under physiological conditions. On the other hand, in the presence of ATP (3mM) and beryllium fluoride (10mM NaF and 300μM BeCl2), we observed the formation of a stable symmetric complex, suggesting the existence of a transiently formed symmetric complex during the chaperonin cycle.

Normally, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is used to study binding reactions between two different biomolecules. Self-association processes leading to homo-oligomeric complexes have usually not been studied by ITC; instead, methods such as spectroscopy and analytical ultracentrifugation, which only provide affinity and Gibbs-free energy (i.e., KD and ΔG), are employed. We here demonstrate that complete thermodynamic descriptions (i.e., KD, ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS) for self-associating systems can be obtained by ITC-dilution experiments upon proper analysis. We use this approach to probe the dissociation (and thus association) equilibrium for the heptameric co-chaperonin proteins 10 (cpn10) from Aquifex aeolicus (Aacpn10-del25) and human mitochondria (hmcpn10). We find that the midpoints for the heptamer-monomer equilibrium occur at 0.51±0.03μM and 3.5±0.1μM total monomer concentration (25°C), for Aacpn10-del25 and hmcpn10, respectively. For both proteins, association involves endothermic enthalpy and positive entropy changes; thus, the reactions are driven by the entropy increase. This is in accord with the release of ordered water molecules and, for the thermophilic variant, a relaxation of monomer-tertiary structure when the heptamers form.

The Nike Zoom Revis will get more lifestyle looking than ever with the upcoming release of this camo sporting version. The sneakers also don some crisp brown leather sections across the upper that sort of strip them of any performance lean. What's more they've got a companion in a similarly flavored Nike Air Shark Trainer should you find yourself needing an extra dosage of this particular combination. Get the full preview of the sneakers with us below and watch for this pair to hit stores on August 30th, 2013, or go ahead and grab 'em early from wcv_14 on eBay.

Firm wins deal to supply lights to Indian navy
Last updated at 13:54, Tuesday, 27 March 2012
AN Ulverston lighting firm has won a lucrative new contract with the Indian navy.
McGeoch Technology has been awarded a £250,000 contract to supply new hi-tech LED lighting to the Indian navy and coastguard.
An order for more than 1,000 lights has been received for a variety of LED light fittings developed by McGeoch, specifically to be used on two new-build vessels as well as several refit programs.
Announcing the contract, Dr Sohail Amer, chairman of McGeoch Technology, said: "The Indian navy has committed to widely introduce LED throughout its fleet and we are proud to have been selected as supplier of this key lighting technology to one of the world's fastest growing navies.
"For the past two years McGeoch has worked closely with the Indian navy to fully understand their requirements and meet their specific needs."
The order is expected to lead to further naval work for McGeoch, estimated at up to £1m.
The McGeoch company began life as a ship's chandler in Scotland in 1835.
Its headquarters are in Birmingham, with an outpost site at Daltongate Business Park, in Ulverston, opening in 2007 to take advantage of the LED skills base in the town.

Supporters rally to save Cliffside Park PAL gym facing eviction
CLIFFSIDE PARK — The eviction notice hit Capt. Tim Kelly of the Cliffside Park police like a sucker punch to the gut.
The facts were as cold as the weights stacked in the borough's Police Athletic League gym on Anderson Avenue. The holding company that owns the building where the gym has rented space for eight years had lost its prime tenant, Stadium Home Appliance. It wanted the gym, which occupies the third floor, out by Jan. 31.
"It was personal for me," said Kelly, 60, a former powerlifter and special education teacher who spent 22 years in the Police Department's juvenile bureau. He also happened to be the athletic league's president. "A lot of kids, this is all they have, and all of a sudden you take that from them."
Staring at the notice, which arrived in mid-December, Kelly wondered if anyone else cared.
A lot of people did, as it turned out.
Parents and current and former members of the gym wrote dozens of letters — passionate testimonials with colorful stories of wallflowers gaining self-confidence, struggling students finding the discipline to attain honor-roll status, and weaklings transforming themselves into weightlifting champions.
The letters made their way to Christos Diktas, the borough attorney and a former powerlifter. He took the eviction notice to Mayor Gerald "Gerry" Calabrese and members of the Borough Council.
"We read all the letters," Diktas said. "Everybody choked up."
Calabrese's brief response, Diktas said, was loud and clear: "No way."
"The mayor and council indicated that the PAL was too important to the borough," Diktas said.

After getting loose at half-track, Eman almost had the car saved before the rear end finally snapped around and the Escort tagged the guardrail.

Clear bright, copper orange with a thick, foamy white head and nice webbed lacing.
Big juicy, citric grapefruit hops upfront, crisp clean hop character.
More grapefruit hops upfront with a faint pale malt backing.
Medium body with prickly carbonation and a faint hop oil feel.
Really nice IPA, as it has a big juicy hop character, but maintains a crisp, clean feel.

Bright orange with a frothy white head. Top notch retention. There was a decent amount of remaining head even as I finished the glass. Heavy lacing.
Heavily aromatic. Mostly orange and pine. Pineapple and grapefruit.
Same flavors. Juicy citrus and resinous pine. Both are vibrant.
Fresh and clean mouthfeel. Moderately bitter.
It's such a fantastic IPA. Aromas and flavors are clean and pronounced, plus it's a real looker.

Poured into a Samuel Smith pint glass from the bomber, but the poor pint glass couldn't handle all the effervescence and massive head this beer offers. There's a huge amount of carbonation, resulting in a head overflow and a round, derby-like shape that juts out above the glass. The beer is light copper in color with almost complete transparency. A real beaut.
I get lots of citrus on the nose, then piney, hoppy, resinousness. There's a good amount of sweet, vanilla-heavy malt present too. I can tell this beer is going to be good. Now let's drink.
Wow, this is surprisingly smooth and understated for an IPA. Granted, I picked this up in Tucson and it's already got about 3 months of age on it, so some of the hop flavor has probably dissipated, but this beer seems to be on the mellow end of the IPA spectrum. There's plenty of bitterness there still, particularly at the finish, and the medium-body is accentuated by a spicy hop bite. As far as flavor from the hops, I'm getting more piney hops than citrus, although at the finish I get some grapefruit peel.
I find this beer to my quite tasty and easy to drink, although I'll be the first to acknowledge I need to try a fresher version. Still, I think it says something about this beer that it can be so tasty, aromatic, and enjoyable after three months.

Drug Name: | DORYX |
Manufacturer: | Warner Chilcott (US), Inc. |
Other Info: | U.S. Patent No: 6,958,161 Manufactured by:FH Faulding & Co. Ltd.1538 Main North RoadSalisbury South, South Australia 5106Marketed by:Warner Chilcott (US), Inc.Rockaway, NJ 07866 0112G032 Rev December 2006 |
Clinical Trials: | |
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of DORYX and other antibacterial drugs, DORYX should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria.
When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy.
In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.THE USE OF DRUGS OF THE TETRACYCLINE CLASS DURING TOOTH DEVELOPMENT (LAST HALF OF PREGNANCY, INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD TO THE AGE OF 8 YEARS) MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DISCOLORATION OF THE TEETH (YELLOW-GRAY-BROWN).
This adverse reaction is more common during long-term use of the drugs but it has been observed following repeated short-term courses.
Enamel hypoplasia has also been reported.
TETRACYCLINE DRUGS, THEREFORE, SHOULD NOT BE USED IN THIS AGE GROUP, EXCEPT FOR ANTHRAX, INCLUDING INHALATIONAL ANTHRAX (POST-EXPOSURE), UNLESS OTHER DRUGS ARE NOT LIKELY TO BE EFFECTIVE OR ARE CONTRAINDICATED.Pseudomembranous colitis has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents, including doxycycline, and may range in severity from mild to life-threatening.
Therefore, it is important to consider this diagnosis in patients who present with diarrhea subsequent to the administration of antibacterial agents.Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon and may permit overgrowth of clostridia.
Studies indicate that a toxin produced by Clostridium difficile is a primary cause of "antibiotic-associated colitis."After the diagnosis of pseudomembranous colitis has been established, therapeutic measures should be initiated.
Mild cases of pseudomembranous colitis usually respond to discontinuation of the drug alone.
In moderate to severe cases, consideration should be given to management with fluids and electrolytes, protein supplementation, and treatment with an antibacterial drug clinically effective against Clostridium difficile colitis.All tetracyclines form a stable calcium complex in any bone-forming tissue.
A decrease in fibula growth rate has been observed in prematures given oral tetracycline in doses of 25 mg/kg every six hours.
This reaction was shown to be reversible when the drug was discontinued.Results of animal studies indicate that tetracyclines cross the placenta, are found in fetal tissues, and can have toxic effects on the developing fetus (often related to retardation of skeletal development).
Evidence of embryotoxicity also has been noted in animals treated early in pregnancy.
If any tetracycline is used during pregnancy or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking these drugs, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus.The antianabolic action of the tetracyclines may cause an increase in BUN.
Studies to date indicate that this does not occur with the use of doxycycline in patients with impaired renal function.Photosensitivity manifested by an exaggerated sunburn reaction has been observed in some individuals taking tetracyclines.
Patients apt to be exposed to direct sunlight or ultraviolet light should be advised that this reaction can occur with tetracycline drugs, and treatment should be discontinued at the first evidence of skin erythema.

Going Low-Carbon: The governance of climate change technologies
UCL Public Policy and UCL Centre for Law and the Environment
The Centre for Law and the Environment and UCL Public Policy held an event exploring the governance of the technologies in moving to a low carbon economy. Chiara Armeni and Maria Lee from the Faculty of Laws spoke at the event, chaired by Yvonne Rydin (UCL Bartlett and Environment Institute), along with UCL colleagues Simon Lock (Science and Technology Studies) and Tadj Oreszczyn (Energy Institute).
Technological innovation is expected to play a significant role in moving to a low carbon economy. Alongside the technological and scientific challenges, this presents considerable challenges of governance. The speakers and audience explored the complex governance challenges associated with capturing the carbon savings potential of technological innovation, as well as the ways in which publics might engage with climate change technologies. Any technology is embedded in its social context, and the public in their diverse roles (as citizens, consumers, members of communities) play unavoidable and important roles in the adoption, proliferation and impact of climate change technologies.

UCL Lunch Hour Lecture: Philosophy and public policy
Professor Jonathan Wolff (UCL Philosophy), 23 November 2010
Can moral and political philosophy be used to help solve problems in public life? How? Some philosophers attempt to derive theories to be applied in practice. This, it will be argued, is not a practical or desirable approach. Rather the philosopher should be to try to understand the values underlying dilemmas of public policy and to explore options for reducing or resolving them. Public policy needs the application of philosophical skills, rather than philosophical theory.
UCL Lunch Hour Lecture: Doomed to Fail? The Challenges of Coalition government for Westminster and Whitehall
Professor Robert Hazell (UCL Constitution Unit), 4 November 2010
Disraeli said 'England does not love coalitions'. The 2010 election led to the formation of the first coalition government at Westminster for over 60 years. Is it doomed to fail? In this lecture Prof Robert Hazell will talk about how the new coalition government operates, and its plans for much wider political and constitutional reform. He was closely involved in helping Whitehall and Westminster prepare for a hung parliament, and now in dealing with the reality.

History of LTC Redesign
Effective July 1, 2002, the Department contracted with MetaStar (Exit DHS) to conduct external quality review (EQR) activities for the Family Care program. On an ongoing basis, EQR activities evaluate the quality of the services that are arranged for or provided to Family Care enrollees or potential enrollees under the contract the Department has entered into with MCOs. The goal of EQR activities is to gain an understanding of whether each MCO is or is not in compliance with federal and state requirements that enable it to meet the needs of its enrolled population.
These external quality review activities are performed consistent with applicable Medicaid provisions under Subpart E, 42 CFR 438 and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) protocols for use in external review of Medicaid managed care organizations and pre-paid health plans.

Inheritance Law and Investment in Family FirmsAndrew EllulIndiana University Bloomington - Department of Finance Marco PaganoUniversity of Naples Federico II - Department of Economics and Statistics; Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance (EIEF); Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR); European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) Fausto PanunziBocconi University - Department of Economics; European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI); Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) November 30, 2009 FEEM Working Paper No. 6.2009 EFA 2009 Bergen Meetings Paper Abstract: Entrepreneurs may be legally bound to bequeath a minimal stake to non-controlling heirs. The size of this stake can reduce investment in family firms, by reducing the future income they can pledge to external financiers. Using a purpose-built indicator of the permissiveness of inheritance law and data for 10,004 firms from 38 countries in 1990-2006, we find that stricter inheritance law is associated with lower investment in family firms, but does not affect investment in non-family firms. Moreover, as the model predicts, inheritance law affects investment only in family firms that experience a succession.

Does what it is supposed to do. Was a bit concerned it would be too small to work well, but it does work as intended. Small size helps in smaller spaces.
La Jolla, CA

It's got a rubber strap so it won't slip like the fabric strap wrenches - also means don't leave it out. It's a fiber reinforced strap but won't be able to tell how well it holds up until it breaks. Use it for lighter torque pipes, bottles, etc. If you got a heavily torqued metal pipe, you might need a chain strap wrench if you don't mind. It's got a sturdy plastic handle.

Great for loosening small objects. The model you carried earlier was more attractive and came in a set of two. This one will suffice for all need for loosing or tightening things too big for my hands or a wrench.
Caldwell, NJ
via sears.com
Despite the claims on the back of the package, the majority of oil filters are much too tight to be loosened with a rubber strap wrench, get a cap type or metal strap oil filter wrench instead. However, this wrench is perfect for loosening or tightening tub spouts, chromed faucet valve covers, Delta single handle shower valve cartridge nut, any plumbing fixture that needs to be tightened but would be marred with a stillson wrench.

I have trouble opening any top that screws off as I have bad arthritis but this item helps to open anything--even a small aspirin bottle cap.

Is really meant to only be able to tighten one way. rubber loop is about 1/4" from the bottom when loosening or tightening in reverse. Also fell apart after first use, it not meant to be heavy duty.

Great for working with water pumps!

Virginia Senate rejects welfare drug-testing
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Republican-backed legislation to require drug screening of welfare recipients died by one vote in the evenly divided Senate on Monday when one GOP lawmaker did not vote, avoiding a deadlock that would have put the bill's fate in the hands of Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling.
Last year, the Republican lieutenant governor - who presides over the Senate - cast the tie-breaking vote to pass similar legislation, which later died in the House of Delegates. With Sen. Harry Blevins of Virginia Beach not voting, the Senate killed this year's version of the measure 20-19.
The legislation sponsored by Sen. Charles W. "Bill" Carrico, R-Grayson, would have required an initial drug screening of all state welfare applicants, followed by testing if officials suspected illegal drug use. Anyone testing positive would have to enter a treatment program or lose benefits for a year.
Sen. Steve Martin, R-Chesterfield and sponsor of last year's failed legislation, said the bill ensures that taxpayer money is not being used to support a drug problem "that destroys a home rather than strengthens it."
Opponents argued that a similar Florida program cost more money than it saved before being ruled unconstitutional. They also said there is no evidence of widespread drug use among welfare recipients.
"Why are poor people singled out for testing?" asked Sen. Mamie E. Locke, D-Hampton. "Why not legislators or bailed-out CEOs?"

"California Gurls"
Katy Perry feat. Snoop Dogg | 2010
Katie Perry confessed to Rolling Stone her SoCal anthem "is not genius. It's not my opus. But it's catchy as f---, and it's a great summertime song." The pop princess explained that Jay-Z was one of several inspirations for this hit song. "It's so great that 'Empire State of Mind' is huge and that everybody has the New York song, but what the f---? What about L.A.? What about California? And it's been a minute since we've had a California song and especially from a girl's perspective."

What is ORAC?
July 23, 2012
ORAC is an acronym for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. ORAC is one analytical method for measuring the ability of a given compound to neutralize free radicals. This method involves testing various foods in the laboratory (i.e., outside the body) to determine their antioxidant capacity. An antioxidant is a substance that helps to control oxidation, and antioxidant activity is defined as the ability to scavenge free radicals. The body uses a number of antioxidant molecules, some of which are produced in the body, such as glutathione and SOD (superoxide dismutase), and some that are consumed in foods, such as Vitamins A, C, and E. Many foods, especially fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices are known for their antioxidant activity.
Free radicals are highly reactive molecules. Because they are so reactive, free radicals can damage any susceptible material, a process known as oxidation. One easily recognizable example of oxidation is that of rust forming on iron surfaces that are exposed to air. Free radicals also play an important role in biological processes. Some of these are necessary for life and play a positive role in cell physiology, including many normal metabolic functions like conversion of food into cellular energy. However, free radicals may also do great damage to cell membranes and DNA. When an imbalance develops between the effects of free radical damage and the body's ability to cope with it, it is known as "oxidative stress."
Scientists have long considered oxidative stress to be a significant contributor to cellular aging and an important factor in chronic disease. It is important to understand however, that multiple active types of free radicals and mechanisms of action are involved in the process of oxidative stress. Likewise, the body defends itself through various mechanisms to counteract it. Therefore, there is no simple universal method by which antioxidant capacity can be assessed accurately and quantitatively. However, laboratory assays such as ORAC provide one way of comparing relative activity.
A wide variety of foods has been tested via ORAC and the resulting values have been published in scientific journals and elsewhere. The results of these studies were compiled by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) and posted on their website as the ORAC Database for Selected Foods.
What happened to the USDA's ORAC Database for Selected Foods from its website?
The USDA recently removed its ORAC database from their website. The USDA questions the relevance of ORAC values, which are measured outside of biological systems. This is because many "antioxidant" food constituents, such as polyphenols, have been found to have mechanisms of action inside the body that are unrelated to their antioxidant functions. Furthermore, it is evident that some polyphenols may have poor bioavailability or may be metabolized in the body to yield molecules with no antioxidant activity. The activities of these compounds and their metabolites are not well understood, although many have been associated with health benefits. The USDA therefore believes that consumers may misunderstand the ways in which these foods exert their health benefits by looking only at ORAC values. However, we believe that the USDA's decision to remove the ORAC database is unfortunate and not in consumers' best interests since no viable alternative is provided.
Does the withdrawal of ORAC database from USDA website mean that ORAC values were incorrect or meaningless? Does it mean that these foods or compounds have no beneficial role in health?
No. ORAC is only one measure of potential biological activity. It is a way of comparing different foods with respect to their ability to neutralize oxygen free radicals. Moreover, regardless of whether antioxidant food constituents have antioxidant activities in the body, scientists have established that many of them, polyphenols in particular, play important roles in human health, even if the roles they play involve mechanisms other than the quenching of free radicals. Although no substantial relationship between human health benefits or specific health conditions has been proven, many foods with high ORAC values have been shown to have potent positive activities in the body. Some examples of these are blueberries and green tea.
Are there other methods to measure antioxidant activity?
Yes. There are a number of methods used to measure antioxidant activity. TEAC (Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity), FRAP (Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma), CUPRAC (Copper Reduction Antioxidant Capacity), and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) are a few commonly used radical scavenging capacity assays. Each of these methods measures antioxidant capacity in a different way and some are more relevant to biological systems than others. ORAC is usually considered to be more relevant because it is reported to mimic antioxidant activity of phenols in biological systems. However, test results obtained by utilizing these other methods have not been compiled; therefore, no alternative third party database exists that consumers can use to help them compare the antioxidant activities of foods.
Is ORAC information still useful?
ORAC remains a valuable tool for consumers in determining the relative bioactivity of foods. In addition, ORAC values can be very important to the food industry because they provide information regarding shelf-life of foods. Another area of application of this technique is in the area of quality control because it helps set and maintain standards of freshness and overall food quality.
Will NOW foods continue to declare ORAC values on specific product labels?
Yes, NOW Foods will continue to provide this information for consumers.

We know a large number of churches enjoy putting on a Fall Festival. It's a great way to reach out to the community and connect with families who wouldn't normally come to your church or ministry. Here are five tricks to help make your Fall Fest planning a treat.
1. Teamwork Don't scare yourself into thinking you're going to need a large team to pull off a fantastic Fall Fest. We've seen a church pull off an 800-kid extravaganza with only 20 volunteers. In her article, The ABCs (and 123s!) of Planning a Fall Festival, Rebekah Guzman breaks down all the pre-planning that needs to be done before the event. It's important to get a core leadership team headed by a director to help delegate the work and make the event go smoothly. A little extra recruiting at first will go a long way.
2. Picture Perfect You could be planning a simple trick-or-treat in your parking lot, or you may be making room for a multi-station interactive experience. Either way, you'll want new families to keep coming back long after the fest. One easy way to do this is by setting up a photo booth at the entrance. Hang up a backdrop, set up a tripod, and have a friendly volunteer invite families coming into the event over for a picture. Have families come back next week for the printed picture, or if you have the ability to print the photos right away, cut out some frames from construction paper and write a friendly note on the back of the picture inviting families to return.
3. Be Different Maybe an event where you have games, booths, and candy isn't for you. Why not think way outside the box and try something new? In her article, Five Halloween Alternatives, Sue Lennartson gives us five different ways to be different. My favorite is the Family Dinner Theater. Who wouldn't want to come out for dinner and a show?
4. Be a Hero Instead of doing an event, why not create an experience that kids won't forget anytime soon? Group's Heroes Unmasked does just that. Your next Fall Festival can be much more than games, costumes, and candy. With Heroes Unmasked, you can help kids have tons of fun and learn about some of the Bible's mightiest champions.
5. Allergy-free I've mentioned this on the blog before, but I want to say it again. If you do candy, make sure to have allergy-free options so all the kids can go home happy. It's a small step that goes a long way in showing families you really care about them. You might also consider providing small toy bags for candy-free families.
How does your church handle Fall Fest activities? What do you do to draw in a crowd? What's your favorite kind of candy? Share with us using the comment section below!

I was reading that Pop Century was getting broadband. My SO and I have been debating taking our laptops with us, and decided against since we dont have dial up and it wouldnt be worth it to sign up to use it for a couple hours in the evenings. Does anyone know more about this broadband thing? how it works and if it even is coming to Pop? The site says its coming in early April and we leave April 27.

In other cases, the coupon you are trying to apply may have a price or category restriction, or both. Coupons from cymax.com have an expiry and many can only be used on certain products or categories.
