Citrix Systems
556% Increase in Conversions with Landing Page Optimization from ion.
Paid search pays off in the tough-to-crack enterprise healthcare market.
"With ion's post-click marketing services, Citrix can easily deploy online campaigns, track results and modify campaigns in real-time to optimize our spend while providing a consistent, flexible framework for click landing experiences."– Diane Kalmanowicz Director, Web Marketing,Citrix Systems, Inc.
With over 180,000 customer organizations, Citrix Systems is the global leader in access infrastructure software. Citrix provides secure, easy, instant access to business-critical information at any time from anywhere. Their marketing efforts require a similar level of immediacy.
ion helps Citrix to achieve increased online conversion rates in a narrow target market with online conversion optimization, reallocating media dollars to realize greater ROI.
In 2005, Citrix launched a paid search campaign to generate leads for the company's compliance solutions for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The search campaign directed respondents to a topic-specific minisite that resulted in a 0.5% conversion rate.
In 2006, two factors led to a shift in the campaign strategy. First, feedback from the Citrix inside sales team was that the campaign was generating poor quality leads. Next, Citrix determined that decision makers in hospital purchasing were the most qualified prospects—a much smaller subset of the healthcare industry than previously targeted.
The objective of the new campaign was to target hospital-purchasing decision makers and generate qualified leads at a higher conversion rate than the original campaign with the help of landing page optimization.
The challenge was that the paid keywords generating the traffic were not hospital-specific. The new campaign needed to "weed out" respondents who were not part of the target audience, and hit decision makers with messaging that was specific to their hospital's size and needs.
ion created a message-matched set of post-click marketing conversion paths with segmentation to direct respondents down forks based on the size of their hospital.
Based on post-click marketing segmentation analysis—conducted in real time—Citrix immediately learned that more than 70% of respondents were not in their target audience of hospital decision makers.
Even with only 30% of the respondents in the target audience, conversion rates still soared 556%, based in large part on the directed paths, audience-specific messaging and landing page optimization.
Within 10 days of launch, the ion RTP matrix (Respondents/Traffic sources/Paths) revealed that respondents from Google were better qualified and were converting at a higher rate than respondents from other search engines in the media buy. By week three of the campaign, the budget was moved entirely to Google.
The campaign launched with A/B testing of two test paths. Immediate real-time analysis revealed that path A was performing significantly better than path B. Based on these results, path C was crafted and launched with nearly double the effectiveness of the already highly successful A path. The C path converted at a rate 756% higher than Citrix's original campaign and segmented over 40% of respondents. This segmented traffic converted at a rate of 12%, almost 2,500% better than the original campaign.
Based on these results, paths A & B are being phased out and a D path was crafted to improve the C path results—all within three weeks of the initial launch of the campaign.

Help Me - Help Them! My 6TH Run For The Critters is on May 25, 2014.
On May 25, 2014 I'll be running the Memorial Day Half Marathon as my SIX Run For The Critters! The race will be held in Lenox Mass. and I'll be raising money for Berkshire Animal D.R.E.A.M.S. My goal this year is $10,000.
The Story Behind The Run...
The inspiration for my first Run For The Critters was born from a sense of gratitude. When my mother passed away in February, 2010 after a long slow "dwindling away", I worked out my feelings of grief and loss by running on our country roads. Having lost my twin sister, my older brother, my mother in law and my father, grief was not foreign to me.
As I was out running one morning, a month or so after mom passed away, I was suddenly bowled over by a strong sense of gratitude!
I was grateful that I could still run at age 51, that I could run in such beautiful countryside, I felt grateful for many things. I wanted to give back somehow. Then an idea hit me: I'd run for the critters! I could set a goal of running a six-mile race while raising money for animal charity. That is exactly what I did.
In September 2010 I raced in the George Coope Memorial Road Run in Adams Mass. I won 2nd place in my class, but felt I won even before I began the race with $1500 raised for animal charity!
I was so inspired and empowered by the success of my first Run For The Critters that I did it again.
In May, 2011, I ran the Lenox Memorial Day 10K and raised $500 for the critters, then in September, 2011, I ran another 10K and raised $1141. I finished the Lenox Memorial Day Race on May 2012 and raised $1350 for the animals!
Thank you for Helping me help them! Where The Money Went:
I donated all the proceeds to these two outstanding charities: Old Dog Haven and FieldHaven Feline Rescue . The total was divided between the two charities.

Memories: Personal, Lasting & Weird Triggers
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011The memories are still hyper-vivid: November 22, 1963, shortly before we were to be dismissed from school, my third grade teacher, Miss Otis, informed our class that the president of the United States was assassinated.
While we were stunned and saddened, my strongest Kennedy-related memories of that moment were actually formed later, through TV — especially of his son, John John, saluting the coffin as the horses pulled the caisson in front of him. Actually, the strongest memory of that day, a trigger for me, is…
See, November 22, 1963 was a Friday. And on Fridays that year, I always got on a bus after school to go to swim practice in Long Beach, Long Island. So my memory of JFK is ALWAYS triggered by the smell of chlorine. ANY TIME I go to a public pool since 1963, I instantly flash back to Miss Otis tearing up in front of us, the long silent bus ride to Long Beach, and the rush of emotions related to JFK's assassination.
Such a weird trigger, huh?
I have another: Cigars.
Any time I smell a cigar, I CANNOT just smell it… I instantly ALSO smell beer and peanuts!
Trigger: Very top row, Yankee Stadium, (nicknamed the nosebleed section) during a Giants football game. My father, who was a cop, took me to games with his cops and firemen buddies. They always smoked cigars and drank beer and, of course, I had to have peanuts.
So, now…still…EVERY TIME I smell a cigar, I also smell beer and peanuts.
Weird what our brain and senses do to us and for us!

Today's global food supply chain has become increasingly complex as companies seek greater efficiencies to feed the world's growing population. Product tracing has emerged as a critical way to determine the attributes and origin of products―from farm to processing to retail and food service, or to the family table.
On July 12, the IFT Board of Directors approved the launch of a new global traceability center designed to protect and improve our global food supply. The Global Food Traceability Center will serve as an authoritative, scientific, and unbiased source for traceability. By creating a forum with international scope, we will lend our significant expertise and capabilities to strengthen agriculture and food sectors around the world.
To become the global resource and authoritative voice on food traceability.
Supported by its Founding Sponsors, the Center will serve all aspects of the food system by generating knowledge that addresses research gaps, and delivering applied research, objective advice, and practical expertise about food product traceability and data collaboration for private benefit and public good.
The Center will have the direction and guidance of an Advisory Council comprised of recognized traceability experts and leaders from industry, academia, and regulatory, as well as consumer groups.
Through its work, the Center will provide the means to accelerate the adoption and implementation of practical traceability solutions across the global food system. It will also deliver support services that help to increase understanding of food traceability across the following business platorms:
Research Protocols and Standards Education and Training Technology Transfer
Concept Paper (PDF) Describes the Center's purpose and objectives, and how it intends to conduct its work on traceability.
Prospectus for Innovation (PDF) Describes how organizations can get involved in the Center.
For more information, please contact us at email@example.com.

Barack Obama urged wavering supporters not to give up on their dreams of change - or on him - as he accepted the Democratic Party's nomination for president in what promises to be a tough race against Republican Mitt Romney.
Mr Obama used his nationally televised speech closing out the Democratic National Convention to try to revive the excitement that powered his first run for the presidency.
With just two months before election day, Mr Obama needs to win over undecided voters, especially those who had been swayed by his inspiring message of hope and change in 2008, but now feel disillusioned after years of economic weakness and persistent political bickering.
"The election four years ago wasn't about me. It was about you," he said. "My fellow citizens - you were the change."
He said the American people were the ones responsible for accomplishments on his watch, such as overhauling healthcare, changing immigration policies and ending the ban on gays in the military. If they turned away now, he warned, "you buy into the cynicism that the change we fought for isn't possible". "Change," he said, "will not happen".
Mr Obama built on the message Democrats delivered throughout the convention: that America is on the road to recovery while Mr Romney would revive failed policies, cutting taxes for the rich and slashing programmes that give regular Americans a chance for a more prosperous future. "If you reject the notion that this nation's promise is reserved for the few, your voice must be heard in this election," he said.
Republicans, who nominated Mr Romney last week, argue that America's high 8.3% unemployment rate is proof that Mr Obama's policies have failed and that the president's spendthrift, big-government policies have hurt business and caused the federal deficit to soar.
The two candidates are locked in a tight race. Polls show that Mr Romney, a wealthy businessman and former governor of Massachusetts, is seen as the better candidate for improving the economy, while Mr Obama is viewed as more likeable and having a better understanding of everyday Americans.
Mr Obama's speech marked the climax of the three-day convention. First lady Michelle Obama highlighted the first day, talking about her husband's humble roots and compassion for those living through tough times. Bill Clinton, the popular former president who led the United States during years of prosperity, gave a rousing speech on Thursday, vouching for Mr Obama's economic policies and urging Americans not to turn back to Republicans.
Preceding Mr Obama was vice president Joe Biden, who was formally re-nominated. Mr Biden proclaimed in his acceptance speech that "America has turned the corner" after experiencing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Top 5 things from Michigan's political conventions
By Mark Brush
- The Tea Party flexed its muscle. Michigan Public Radio Network's Rick Pluta and Laura Weber report, "A defiant effort to put a tea party candidate for lieutenant governor on the ticket instead of Snyder's choice of state Representative Brian Calley stopped the convention in its tracks. Party leaders tried to restore order ... Snyder got his choice, but only after the tea party candidate ended the insurgent effort by withdrawing."
- "People power vs. Pundit Power." Polls show he has a long way to go to catch Rick Snyder, and some pundits don't think he can make up the ground. The Associated Press reports that Virg Bernero entered the convention to the theme of Rocky saying "we knew better then, and we know better now. We know that 'people power' beats 'pundit power' every time."
- Two Mayors make up the Dems ticket. Democratic Gubernatorial candidates Virg Benero selected Southfield Mayor Brenda Lawrence as his running mate. Craig Ruff said in The Lansing State Journal ""My rule is nobody votes for lieutenant governor. What you want is a safe choice, somebody who won't embarrass you, won't be a distraction to your campaign. From all accounts, she'll be able hold her own in a debate between her and Brian Calley."
- Similar logos? The Michigan Republican Party's logo looks inspired by another successful logo
- "The Constitution made me do it." You can't vote in the primaries for certain offices because the Michigan Constitution says candidates must be selected at political conventions.

According to recent reports, Lil Wayne has had to pay more than $7 million for tax liens stemming from as far as back as 2008. Reports from Gossip Extra show that the YMCMB emcee became the target of liens for different years.
According to these reports, Wayne owed more than $3 million for 2008 and more than $2 million for 2009. The site also reports that their source was Miami Dade County records.

State housing agency awards $1 million to
Maverick County to improve colonia housing
(AUSTIN) — Recognizing that improving housing conditions in the state's colonias can lead to improved health and economic standards for colonia residents, the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) today announced that it has awarded Maverick County a $1 million contract to operate its Colonia Self-Help Center.
The Maverick County Self-Help Center (SHC) will serve an estimated 4,432 residents living in the Loma Bonita I, II & III, Las Quintas, and Las Brisas colonias. The contract is the county's fourth for the center's operations and provides a wide range of housing related services designed to help qualifying households improve their own circumstances.
"By partnering with the county, the Department's Self-Help Center provides colonia residents the tools and expertise to improve their homes and communities through sweat equity and collaborative effort," noted TDHCA Executive Director Michael Gerber. "Our centers tap into the state's great tradition of Texans helping themselves and one another, offering the promise of a better way of life for many of our most vulnerable neighborhoods. We are very proud of this initiative and look forward to continuing the strong relationship which we enjoy with Maverick County."
The contract will assist the Self-Help Center in providing 15 construction skills training classes, the delivery of solid waste services, small self-help home repairs for 28 households, and the rehabilitation of another 24 homes. The center also operates a tool lending library, access to new technology resources, and a host of other benefits to colonia residents.
The Colonia SHC Program helps provide technical assistance to eligible colonia residents in the areas of housing rehabilitation, new home construction, construction skills training, and many other housing related topics. Funding for the program is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development through its Community Development Block Grant Program allocation to the State of Texas.
About the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs
The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs administers a number of state and federal programs through for-profit, nonprofit, and local government partnerships to strengthen communities through affordable housing development, homeownership opportunities, weatherization, and community-based services for Texans in need.

Elizabeth's Emotional Announcement
Please Enter Your Comments Below
Stay strong and positive!
My husband and I tried to have a baby for over six years. We then chose to adopt our beautiful daughter and two months later we were shocked to find out I was pregnant! We were then blessed with our wonderful son! Two children, just over a year apart in age! You just never know what life will bring you!
You'd be surprised how common it is. Good luck and stay positive!
Elizabeth Emotional Comments
Elizabeth - There is always a way! I went through menopause at the age of 30 and I tried to have a baby when i was 35. With shots and a great Dr. (Women's Health Care Waukesh! Wi) I got pregnant. I was able to produce two eggs and gave birth to abeautiful girl Erin on March 17, 1995. Prays to both of you!
Elizabeth Emotional Comments
I really am pulling for you to have a baby. it will happen. :)
Stay Positive & Good Luck!
I can totally relate to this. My husband and I tried for six years. I wanted nothing more than to be a mom. We told certain family members of our struggle only after we had a miscarriage. It was very difficult watching friends and family having babies during those years. It was very stressful with all the hormones I was on and all the money we were spending and not seeing any results. I could not believe that this was happening to us. However, after many fertility treatments and seeing an out of state specialist, we were blessed with twins! I wish you and your husband nothing but good luck. Prayers sent your way.
Pulling for you!
You can't give up! I tried for a year and a half for my second child, and had three miscarriages. I went through every test imaginable and spent a lot of time in clinics, and now we're 25 weeks pregnant with our son! I was just about to give up...just proves that time will tell.
You are not crazy!
I appreciate your comment of feeling like less of a women. This journey will be incredibly difficult and most around you will not understand it. We lost 6 babies two of those were tubals. My biggest advise to you is try not to get bitter. It was so hard watching everyone have babies, complain about their babies, wish they were you with no babies and so forth. We adopted three children (not all at the same time). Just know that because that is what you want (to have a child) in the end it will happen when it is suppose to. Keep a journals or make a scrapbook because in the end when you are holding that baby you will (believe it or not) not remember all this turmoil. Good luck.
Thank you for talking about this and your struggle! So many of us don't feel unable to discuss the topic of infertility. My husband and I tried for 6 years to have a baby. We suffered 2 miscarriages. When we finally figured out why I was miscarrying we got pregnant again only to give birth to a premature stillborn baby boy from a different complication. There is hope! Just over 2 weeks ago we brought home our miracle baby boy. He is perfect and 100% healthy. God has completed our miracle! Don't give up!
Let it happen when it ismeant to
Elizabeth, my heart is with you as will be my prayers. However, do not try so hard, relax and enjoy the moment and when you lease expected, you will get pregnant. Put it in God's hands and let it be His gift as every child is! Only then will you will be able to conceive. I read the comments from others and know of so many who tried so hard and think that is the problem, they are trying too hard! Then they go and adopt and while they go through all the legalities, they get pregnant! Your day will come and all of Milwaukee will have the largest baby shower ever in the city. I will plan to go there for it!
That was Connie from SJ, Puerto Rico.
Hang in There!
I went through the same exact type of miscarriage with my first pregnancy and know exactly how Elizabeth feels. On a more positive note I now have two beautiful healthy children. Don't give up! Thanks for sharing your story! I am sure you have helped some other women who are struggling with this know that they are not alone!
One day at a time....
We had the pleasure of meeting you last year at the opening of a health clinic. Our girls met you and loved your personality. You are already a natural with young children and I pray you will be blessed to have your own. You already hear and see that you are not alone. I hope you get some insight and answers and can move forward in the process. You will celebrate soon.... One day at a time! Prayers!!
You are strong!
I know exactly where you are coming from. My husband and I have struggled with unexplained infertility for the last 5 years. We have experienced one unexplained miscarriage (also at almost 9 weeks, and days after a beautiful ultrasound), two ectopic pregnancies and two chemical pregnancies. After five years, three doctors later, multiple shots, pills, ultrasounds, surgeries, tears, heart breaks we received the news. 12 weeks ago, one stuck in there :) You are absolutely right, this is taboo to talk about. I am glad you shared your experience. We need to make this less taboo in order to support families through the loss. We deal with tough times, imaginable to many. Where we dread mother's/father's day..and friends bombarding us with "when are you having a baby?!" I usually answer with my reality...and then of course they feel bad for me, which makes it worse. Feel empowered, but don't let this take over your life. It is easier said than done, I know. Much luck to you and your husband. This too shall pass.
please don't say "relax"
That is the absolute worse thing you can tell a family dealing with infertility!! We can't relax! Between appointments, taking your temperature, meds...etc...it really becomes a second job! So really, we can't relax..and yes, we know "it will come"!!
Educate yourself and don't give up (even though that is what they tell you to do so that it wil
After a very frustrating six years of trying I told the infertility specialist exactly what I wanted done: (artificial insemination with my husband's sperm which was treated with Percoll to increase the motility). The specialist was about to give up and recommend expensive in-vitro procedures and more gruesome tests on me. I wrote him a letter after doing my own research and it was all or nothing because we were going to give up if it didn't work. My suggestion worked the first time and I finally gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl! Good luck Elizabeth!!!
There is HOPE!
After 3 years of disappointment after disappointment - 3 miscarriages and 2 ectopic pregnancies, test after test, surgery, 7 rounds of IVF - some failed (5), some successful - 2 of the 7 tries - (#1 & #2 kids), and then a surprise miracle baby (#3) after all of that, I offer this.... The many years of heartache, the tears, the shots, the ultrasounds,the appointment after appointment, the ups/downs, the unbelievable amount of money...worth every moment! The wait was so hard, the road long, the fear of "not again" always in your mind just when things looked good, but along the way was also the opportunity to reach out to others that just started on their own, sometimes equally long, journey on the path of infertility and help them along the way, if even just a little, by giving them HOPE that things CAN work out. And, definitely be your own advocate ...research, ask, don't give in to "well that isn't how we do things" answers that some drs will give.
Thank you
Thank you all so much for your kind words and for sharing your stories. It definitely makes me not feel so alone. This is a hard time for Aaron and I, but we are trying not to quit and hopefully we'll be blessed with our own baby one day. Your messages mean so much to me and I appreciate them more than you'll ever know! xoxoxo - Elizabeth
All things are possible with God
I'm sorry I missed this discussion on the radio, but my advice is to stay open. Try not to focus so much on getting pregnant or having a baby, but keep visualizing the end result - your and Aaron's FAMILY. It's almost like when you do, the details fall in to place. I married my husband when I was almost 40, and we went through some of that infertility stuff. It didn't take long for our doctor to recommend IVF because of my age. We did not want to take out a mortgage just to have a baby. We weren't in a position to do that. We started looking into adopting a child with special needs. (It didn't cost anything.) The process involves going through specific things you will or will not accept, i.e. certain health problems, disabilities, gender, age range, race, etc. It feels kind of strange to do that, and I wasn't sure if I really wanted to go that route, but I tried not to think about my feelings too much. It was like we were being led through the details. It was easy. It was like riding a wave. It's amazing to me how well we were matched to the little girl we were lucky enough to welcome into our home. We ended up adopting her on her 3rd birthday. She's now an active and healthy 10 year old. Clearly we were meant to be together. We are definitely her parents and she is definitely our daughter. We couldn't be happier. In fact, this Saturday we will be celebrating Gotcha Day, the day we brought her home in 2005. You CAN have a version of what you want. I know several people who either took a long time to conceive or who had several miscarriages, and then went on to have four kids, or a boy and a girl - exactly what they wanted. My sense is that you will have your own babies, too. All the best to you and your husband! ♥☺☼♪♫ ~Kathy D.
Love you!!
Stay positive, hon. Whatever route you end up on, your family will find its way together. Xoxo -cupcake sandy
Stay Strong
After losing a baby at 40 weeks, you need to learn relax and not stress. It is the worst advice but I didn't get pregnant until after I was able to take time for myself. -Mom of 4 and Angel

Can't believe I'm about to write this...
Let me preface what I'm about to write by saying this: I'm not proud of myself…I'm not even HAPPY with myself. Ok, here goes! I went to see Miley Cyrus last night at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, the "BANGERZ" tour. Having been in the radio industry my whole life, part of what I enjoy the most are the shows, whether I'm a fan of the artist or not, I enjoy a great production! I enjoy seeing the crowd and it's reaction to the artist that's performing. What I saw last night was Miley OWNING the crowd filled with fans of ALL AGES! I say this MOSTLY in a joking manner, but I saw things THAT I CAN'T UN-SEE!!!!! For example: Miley took the stage by sliding down a GIANT TONGUE SLIDE. She "flew" around on a GIANT SAUSAGE. She even forgot the words to one of her own songs "Rooting For My Baby" and acknowledged it by saying she "MESSED UP" (she used other words to explain it, LOL). There were other things that happened during the show that I can't and won't talk about here, but all that said, it was worth the price of admission IMO...a GREAT PRODUCTION! Like Miley or not, she really CAN SING and again, she OWNED the crowd last night! Ok, I waited as long as I could: I ENJOYED IT...ALOT! I hope you won't hold that against me -Mark Summers

An Evergreen Harvest â Cooking with Spruce
A long time favorite in Europe, spruce shoot syrup and beer are gaining popularity in North America. The tender new growth of spruce, pines and firs were also used by Native Americans and early settlers for food and medicine. For the best flavor, harvest the tender new growth as it emerges in spring. Remove the papery brown covering before eating or processing. Use them fresh to flavor fish dishes, sauce or salad dressing. Or try something simple like tea. Just dry the needles and brew into tea. Or create spruce vinegar with brown rice, vinegar and pine or spruce shoots. Just place the shoots in a glass jar, cover with brown rice vinegar, seal and let it age for a month. Spruce shoots are also used to add the unique flavor to the Canadian martini. Ask before harvesting spruce shoots from private and public property. And only use shoots from evergreens free of pesticides. A bit more information: For more tips on harvesting and recipes click here.. And for more on the history of brewing and cooking with evergreen shoots click here. If you want to skip or give them a try before harvesting and preserving your own, you can find them for sale on-line at Forbes Wild Food.

Birth Tree March 1 through 10 - Weeping Willow
The lovely and graceful weeping willow has long been a part of our landscapes. And, although it is the birth tree for those born between March 1st and 10th, think twice before planting this beauty in your backyard. As birth trees go, the weeping willow represents beauty filled with a bit of melancholy. Individuals with this birth tree are also said to be tasteful, dreamers, restless and have good intuition. Today the golden weeping willow is considered the standard and the one most of us know as weeping willow. This fast growing tree is hardy in zones 2 through 9, develops a stout trunk and is covered with long pendulous branches. It is tolerant of moist to wet soils and is often found growing along ponds and streams. This large tree is perfect for wet areas where other trees fail and where the leaf, stem and fluffy seedpod litter and aggressive roots are not a problem. A bit more information: The golden weeping willow can grow 50 to 80 feet tall with a broad canopy. If your yard is too small or you don't want the litter issue, visit this graceful beauty in a nearby park or natural setting.

Leaf Spot on Philodendron
Philodendrons have long been considered one of the easiest to grow – hardest to kill houseplants. But even these robust beauties can suffer from too much love and attention. Don't be embarrassed if you've killed this supposedly indestructible plant – many gardeners have. The most common complaints are yellow leaves with brown spots. Leaf spot diseases are usually the culprit and improper watering the cause. Take a close look at the container and your watering regimen. Make sure the pot has holes in the bottom for drainage. No matter how good a gardener, it is impossible to provide exactly the right amount of moisture every time you water. Move your plant to a container with drainage holes if needed. For best results water this and most houseplants thoroughly whenever the top couple inches of soil feels like a damp sponge. Pour off any excess water that collects in the saucer. Plants sitting in water are more subject to root rot and leaf spot diseases. A bit more information: Reduce your work load and improve your plants' growing environment by placing stones or marbles in the saucer. The excess water can collect in the saucer while the marbles elevate the pot and plant roots above the water. As the water evaporates it increases the humidity around the plant where it is needed.

BILOXI, MS (WLBT) - The names of 170 Mississippi victims of Hurricane Katrina were sandblasted on a memorial Saturday in preparation for Sunday's ceremonies in Biloxi.
It would have been 169 if not for a chance encounter. Dennis Cowart, who designed the memorial, was tasked with compiling a list of the dead and missing. He thought the tally was complete until a former client, Phil McCuien, stopped by his Ocean Springs office in July and mentioned his wife has been missing since the 2005 hurricane.
Now, Jeannette McCuien's name is on the memorial. A complete list of victims may be impossible to compile because some people may never have been reported missing, and may have washed out to sea.

Diverse historical influences inspire William Yeoward; his wonderfully eclectic style is a rich tapestry of looks from the 18th century onwards.
The philosophy is simple: for a design to succeed, it must be functional and beautiful. Yeoward's rug designs perfectly reflect his diverse aesthetic; the contemporary designs honour the classic, incorporating at the same time rich colours and muted tones, graphic shapes and organic motifs.
This rug is entirely handmade, from the spinning of the yarns to the weaving on the loom. It is unique, and has been crafted by weavers in the Kathmandu area, whose skills have been passed down through many generations. We use only the finest natural yarns; the Tibetan wool is renowned for its softness and durability, while the fine silk brings a delicate lustre that enhances the design of the rug. To this we have added the vision of a world class designer, and the result is a hand knotted contemporary rug of extraordinary beauty which will itself become an heirloom to be treasured for years to come.

Are the schools meeting the state mandated requirements for minimum number of days attended per year?
Historically, PAUSD has exceeded the state requirements for number of attendance days ( much to the consternation of the students). The school year did not start earlier than usual, so how is the district getting away with ending it early? Was PAUSD given an exception this time, because of exceeding the minimums in past years?
on May 28, 2013 at 11:59 am
Haha, "PalyDad" said it well.
on May 28, 2013 at 12:05 pm
Meet the requirements - PAUSD started school a week earlier this year than in previous years, students attend classes 180 days, the same as the two previous years.

Is it better to do a voluntary Hajj or to donate to the mujaahideen who are fighting for the sake of Allaah?
I have done the obligatory Hajj, praise be to Allaah, and I have done 'umrah. Is it better for me to travel for 'umrah, or to give this money in charity to the mujaahideen who are fighting for the sake of Allaah?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Both travelling for 'umrah and spending for the sake of Allaah are good deeds, but the benefit of 'umrah is limited to the one who does it, whereas the benefit of spending on jihad is more far-reaching, so spending on that is more appropriate and takes precedence.
And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote.

1340 N.W. 173rd Terrace Miami, FL 33169 (305) 621-7905 HOME ADDRESS TO CALL OR WRITE
Hi Angels, Sorry it has taken me so long to write but I have been so overwhelmed with trying to make payments on all the expenses we have had for Edwarda's care over the years. So please forgive me. I would love it if on the 27th of March everyone would take a minute to wish Edwarda Happy Birthday. It would have been her 61st Birthday. I miss my sister so very much . I miss all the people coming over to help celebrate that special day with us. So if everyone would say a special prayer on that day I will feel everyone is here with us and it will make it so much easier So thank you . March is a hard month because my mom went to heaven on the 7th and I miss her so much as well. I appreciate everyone still staying in touch with us It means so very much to me. So please keep writing. I will keep each and everyone of you in my prayers Please keep us in yours God bless Mary keep Colleen O'Bara Don't forget the prayer group is the 15th of each month at 8:00 p.m. God bless
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Webmaster Message Please visit the Obara's Facebook page and click on "Like" .
If you would like to send help to the O'Bara's please click on the PayPal button below. All proceeds go directly to pay for the debt incurred over the years while caring for Edwarda.
"Promise you won't leave me, will you, Mommy?" "Of course not, I would never leave you, Darling, I promise. And a promise is a promise!"
Edwarda O'Bara was a vivacious sixteen-year-old and a mild diabetic. Duringthe early morning hours of January 3rd, 1970, Edwarda woke up shaking and in great pain because the oral form of insulin she had been taking wasn't reaching her bloodstream. Edwarda was rushed to the hospital emergency room and as she lay in her hospital bed sliding in and out of consciousness she turned to her mother Kaye andsaid, "Promise you won't leave me, will you, Mommy?" Kaye looked at her frighteneddaughter and said, "Of course not, I would never leave you, darling, I promise. And a promise is a promise!" Those were the last words that were exchanged before Edwardaquietly slipped into a diabetic coma.
For the past 39 years, Edwarda has lived her life in a coma, and Kaye has lived her promise of never leaving her daughter's side.Kaye has kept a vigil at Edwarda's bedside, caring for her every two hours, twenty-four hours a day, for the past 38 years! She hasmaintained this grueling pace and during these 38 years has not slept for more than 90 minutes at a time. As a devoted mother, Kaye chose not to institutionalize Edwarda, butrather to care for her at home and assume the tremendous financial burden that accompaniespersonally caring for a comatose child. Unfortunately, Kaye passed away March 7th 2008 andnow her younger daughter Colleen had cared for Edwarda every day since she passed away on Nov 21st 2012. HOPE NEVER DIES
The strength, power, and tenacity of Kaye O'Bara's incomparable love has attracted modernday miracles, including the appearance of the spiritual apparition of the Blessed Mother, who appears frequently before Kaye in her home.
The message from the Blessed Mother to Kaye is not to despair, that Edwarda has chosenthis state as her means of expressing her purpose on earth. Edwarda's mission is to createawareness and to bring comfort, hope, and compassion to those in need. People around theworld who have experienced pain and suffering have reported that Edwarda has appeared tothem, often taking their pain and leaving them with a spiritual sense of comfort and peace.
How You Can Make A Difference
Dr. Wayne Dyer has chosen to help the O'Bara's by writing of their story in a book titled,"A Promise Is A Promise". This book tells of Edwarda's life, the numerous challenges the O'Bara's have faced, as well as the miracles that have occurred, including the appearancesof the Blessed Mother.
A positive change in the world begins with each of us individually, and by helping others you are actually helping yourself!

From MSNBC:
According to the report, one senior staff member spent as much as 20 percent of his time during a two-year period at lurid sites and in sexually explicit chat rooms. That time cost taxpayers more than $40,000, the report stated.
Other employees were also alleged to have watched, downloaded and e-mailed porn.
Grassley said he is pushing for more information about the National Science Foundation because he's concerned the issues in the report speak to a wider, cultural problem at the agency.
3 Responses to "NSF Staffers Fired for Surfing Porn"
so, having an active interest in sex and being a voyeur is a cultural problem? Not just any cultural problem, but a wider one…. because the agency is a culture unto itself….. and we cant go around firing people for time-sheet fraud and violations of government regulations…. because this is clearly a culture issue.

Interesting !! and this just after the "Jello" wrestling incident.
Was it a real NSF person or a contractor or grantee?
The media often gets these things confused just like anything happening in Antarctica is automatically at the South Pole.
on 10 Mar 2009 at 12:55 am3"Thank you" wood sign
Surfing porn in Antarctica?……..if you have ever lived in Antarctica you would understand the hardships. Crappy food, frozen nutt sacks, stupid B.S. coming from NSF or the contractor, and lets not forget bearded ladies! Yes, I too have surfed porn in Antarctica! The NSF would have saved 40,000 if they just opened up a whore house. Maybe they could call it Poondoggle!

Toggle: English / Spanish
Serum progesterone is a test to measure the amount of progesterone in the blood. Progesterone is a hormone produced mainly in the ovaries.
In women, progesterone plays a vital role in pregnancy. After an egg is released by the ovaries (ovulation), progesterone helps make the uterus ready for implantation of a fertilized egg. It prepares the womb (uterus) for pregnancy and the breasts for milk production.
Men produce some amount of progesterone, but it probably has no normal function except to help produce other steroid hormones.
Progesterone blood test (serum)
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture.
Your health care provider may tell you to stop taking drugs that may affect the test. Drugs that can interfere with the test include progesterone and birth control pills.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is done to:
Progesterone levels vary depending on when the test is done. Blood progesterone levels start to rise midway through the menstrual cycle, continue to rise for about 6 to 10 days, and then fall if fertilization does not result.
Levels continue to rise in early pregnancy.
This following are normal ranges based upon certain phases of the menstrual cycle and pregnancy:
Note: ng/mL = nanograms per milliliter
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Higher-than-normal levels may be due to:
Lower-than-normal levels may be due to:
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Text Manipulation with sed
For those who have never used regular expressions, here are three regular expressions that are very useful when combined with sed:
To match the start of a line, use the ^ character.
To match the end of a line, use the $ character.
To match any number of characters in a regular expression, use the characters .*. The . matches any single character, and the * matches any number of characters (including none at all).
Filter out empty lines from a file:
sed -e '/^$/d' your_file.txt
Add the computer named mycomputer to the end of every line in /etc/exports:
cat /etc/exports | \ sed -e 's/$/ mycomputer/' > /etc/exports
Add the computer named comp2 only to the directories beginning with /data/ in /etc/exports:
cat /etc/exports | \ sed -e '/^\/data\//s/$/ comp2/' > /etc/exports
See how the forward slashes used in the directory name have to be escaped using back slashes? Without the back slashes, sed interprets the forward slashes in the directory specifier as the delimiters in the sed command itself. However, the back slashes can make the sed command difficult to read and follow.
Remove the first word on each line (including any leading spaces and the trailing space):
cat test3.txt | sed -e 's/^ *[^ ]* //'
More regular expression matching is used in this example. Here's what it is doing.
The initial ^ * is used to match any number of spaces at the beginning of the line. The [^ ]* then matches any number of characters that are not spaces (the ^ inside the brace reverses the match on the space), so it matches a single word. The trailing space at the end matches the space found at the end of the first word. The empty replace pattern removes the text.
Remove the last word on each line:
cat test3.txt | sed -e 's/^\(.*\) .*/\1/'
This command introduces the concept of hold buffers. Hold buffers are used to keep parts of the matched text and to insert that text into the result. The pattern that matches the text between the parentheses is recalled in the substitution pattern by the \1. If an additional set of parentheses were in the match pattern, they would be addressed in the substitution pattern as \2, and so on, for more sets of parentheses. Up to nine hold buffers can be specified. In this example, the pattern contained within the parentheses matches from the start of the line up to the last space (the space after the parentheses).
To remove leading { and trailing }, or a } from each line:
sed -e 's/^.*{\(.*\)},*/\1/' table.txt
I'll leave it to the reader to dig in to this regular expression to see how it operates. Keep this in mind—the more comfortable you are with regular expressions and hold buffers, the more powerful the sed command becomes.
sed recognizes many other commands. However, even with these basic commands, you can successfully manipulate text files from within your own shell scripts or right from the command line.

sed deletion help
Hello all..
plz help me.
I have a doubt regarding deletion usind sed. We can use following cammand to delete lines between 5 and 10 from filename.txt.
sed '5,10d' filename.txt
I have two variable $startline and $endline. How do use sed command with these variables? when i use
sed '$startline,endlined filename.txt
i am getting errors.
I know this is a basic syntax error, but plz help me to solve this.
how to do this: From a file
how to do this:
From a file containing telephone director, create a new list from this
file that shows surname first, followed by a comma(,) and then the first
name and rest of the line.
ex- gupta, shiv 98797630
unnecessary pipe
Often you don't need to pipe a "cat file.txt" to sed, you can sed the file directly.
i have above text in my 777.txt file . what i want is replace /home/sphinx/TUTORIAL/53/raw/ with blank space and .raw also should be replaced with blank space..... pls help me i forget..... i studied long back about sed awk cut ,reg exprs
Assuming by "blank space"
Assuming by "blank space" you mean change them to zero length strings, this should do it:
sed -e 's;/home/sphinx/TUTORIAL/53/train/raw/;;' -e 's/\.raw//' 777.txt
This will output:
u1078 u1079 u1080
Mitch Frazier is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal.
One Flaw
Yes, the problem is as indicated. Evidently he didn't check that his test bed would work. I was wondering if there was a system to generate unique temporary file names so that you would have something like:
#assign temp but unique file name to TEMP$
sed -f work.cmd database.txt > TEMP$
#analyze TEMP$ to ensure it is OK
mv --force TEMP$ databasee.txt
It occurred to me that the date command could be used initially to generate a filename.
For example: the date output of Thu Jun 16 15:45:41 PDT 2005 could be massaged to become 2005Jun16154541PTD.txt, which should be unique.
I imagine someone has done this already, but I haven't looked for it (yet).

sed... a cautionary note on re-directions
Good introductory article to sed.
One observation though:
I would not recommend users issue command of the form:
$ cat fname.txt |
sed -e s/something/something else/ > fname.txt
In the above example, which is semantically similar to the examples in the article the user is asking the shell to use fname.txt as input and output! Unless the specific commands are designed to handle this (e.g., sort which handles this via the "-o fname" option), asking the semantics of the shell to handle this is very dangerous. Depending on the shell, the version of the shell, etc., the above example may actually give the user an empty result file, a truncated file, or a corrupt file. Instead, I would recommend redirection to some intermediate file, then after inspection and satisfaction with results, copy intermediate file back to original.
sed usage
yes this problem exist
when we use the same file as source and destination this problem is seen.
for exp:
sed -e 's/2/3' d3.txt > d3.txt
will return the empty file
this can ba dangerous in live sceanrios
so paly with cautions
Use the "-i" option. "Edit in

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.
