The Senate is heading towards showdown votes on dueling plans from Democrats and Republicans to extend a payroll tax cut, as both parties in Congress and President Obama furiously maneuver for advantage on an issue that will dominate the Capitol Hill to Christmas.
As President Obama demanded action on the issue during a campaign-style trip to Scranton, Pennsylvania, Republicans in the Senate unveiled their own competing plan, which was immediately denounced by Democrats, just as the GOP had declared a Democratic plan Dead on Arrival.
For those not familiar with the details of each party's plan, let's lay out exactly what's in these proposals.
Democratic Plan
Republican Plan
Both sides will need 60 votes to get their plan through the Senate, which seems unlikely – meaning we will have more gridlock on jobs in the Senate.
Still, the betting in the hallways of the Capitol is that a deal will be struck in the next couple of weeks, but it may take a lot of partisan finger pointing and venom before we get there.

An Interview with Euripides
More About Euripides
, the youngest of the three great Athenian playwrights, was born around 485 BC of a family of good standing. He first competed in the dramatic festivals in 455 BC, coming only third; his record of success in the tragic competitions is lower than that of either Aeschylus or Sophocles. There is a tradition that he was unpopular, even a recluse; we are told that he composed poetry in a cave by the sea, near Salamis. What is clear from contemporary evidence, however, is that audiences were fascinated by his innovative and often disturbing dramas. His work was controversial already in his lifetime, and he himself was regarded as a 'clever' poet, associated with philosophers and other intellectuals. Towards the end of his life he went to live at the court of Archelaus, king of Macedon. It was during his time there that he wrote what many consider his greates work, the
. When news of his death reached Athens in early 406 BC, Sophocles appeared publicly in mourning for him. Euripides is thought to have written about ninety-two plays, of which seventeen tragedies and one satyr-play known to be his survive; the other play which is attributed to him, the

A world premiere offers a unique take on Philippine dance
DANCE In the continental United States, the Filipino population is mostly concentrated in California, and it's a good bet that most are settled in the Bay Area. Still, their voices are not as present in dance — outside the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival — as they should be.
Perhaps that's why Alleluia Panis, executive director of Kularts, a presenter of Filipino art and culture, and Jay Loyola, artistic director of the American Center of Philippine Arts, decided to collaborate two years ago. The new work would not include the ever-popular tinikling, the country's national dance in which performers nimbly try to avoid clashing bamboo poles that threaten to chop off their feet.
Palau'an Bird Call - Huni Ng Tandikan does, however, include bamboo poles, fashioned into the type of blowguns that so terrified invaders of Palawan, a long, skinny island in the Western Philippines that is settled by the country's most ancient inhabitants.
As a former member of Bayanihan National Folk Dance Company of the Philippines and creator of over 40 folkloric style choreographies, Loyola got involved in studying the Palawan through some of his students.
"The people are not a very colorful tribe, and they are not very well known, but they have a spirituality that really drew my attention. They don't even have an exact translation for war," he explained. Though profoundly Islamic, the Palawan also connect with Buddhism, using in their ceremonies, for instance, the sacred chakras which are supposed to open the body to positive energies.
Because of his commitment to the Palawan culture Loyola was eventually adopted into the Tagbanua tribe, whose members live on the island's northern section. Their leader told him, "Nobody has ever been interested in us the way you have. You are like a son to me."
So on a Monday night, when the rest of the US was glued to the tube watching the battle between two men who claimed to be able to restore the country back to health, 16 Filipino dancers, chosen by audition, were rehearsing an ancient ritual about healing the ill head of their tribe.
They were evoking a story based on Francisco Baltazar's Ibong Adarna, a Philippine epic about the mythic adarna bird — the only creature in the universe that could return both health and peace of mind to a leader. Loyola freely adapted this tale to the Palawan, replacing, for instance, the adarna with the tandikan, a secretive and rarely seen peacock that resides in the forests. He also explored Palawan spirituality that even today is deeply grounded in nature myths. It's the tandikan's movements and its song that call the deities into action.
Watching these dancers embody the spirits of water, fire, wind, and the earth, it was striking to note the elegance and power that both men and women poured into their leaps, twirls, and strides. When they descended, they planted their feet as if the ground had reached up to grab them. The steps may be based on traditional patterns — especially a vertical skipping phrase for some of the village women — but these were contemporary artists with strong physical training. If some of the choreography looked influenced by martial arts, it was no accident.
"Because of an ancient land-bridge to Borneo, Palawan culture includes elements of martial arts practices as prevalent on the Indonesian archipelago," explains Loyola. Perhaps the fiercest dancing — she ended by standing on her head — belonged to Metem Sumpa, danced by Alexandria Diaz de Fato. As a Spirit of Darkness, she almost succeeded in disrupting the healing process.
In contrast to the strong gender differentiation still prevalent in many Western practices, Palawan spirit dancers have to be gender neutral, otherwise the deities will not manifest themselves. So, Loyola says, female performers may be dressed as men.
This is a positive step in Filipino identity. We are more than that "bamboo dance", Manny Pacquiao and the Sun & 3 Stars

Xtrood is an online service aimed at business to send their customer information through custom workflow processes. Our aim is to assist you in knowing your customers and creating a simple environment for customers to buy from you.
Capturing customer details through web application screens and generating sales documentation & emails are just some of the ways we can assist your business.
Having your own website is good, but unless customers have a way to interact with your services and products on that site then they wont return very often. That's where we come in; linking off from your site to ours to let customers buy products or book services.
Display Integration Overview View PricingWe offer a full end to end solution for customers to access your services online. You start with your customer accessing our site, entering their details along with what they are trying to buy from you or what services they want to schedule with you. The transaction will then be finalised and emails sent out.
Example: Booking a lawn mowing service
An example of the signup process could be a customer accessing your lawn mowing business profile on Yellow Pages, they click a website link to make a booking which redirects the user to our site.
At this point the customer would enter their name, address to be serviced, any additional details and finally they would pick a date for the service.
The customer would then submit these details, which would send you an email about the request.
You would click on the email to log in and view the customer request and accept the details. An email would then be sent to the customer confirming their request and service time.
The system comes with a wide range of features and tools to assist your business and increase staff productivity. The features are client driven,
with new and exciting additions being included all the time.
Whether you want to use pre-built solutions, customise your own or just understand your customers better; we have the tools to help.
Data capture screens are made up of individual modules that you can pick and choose from. This allows you to get up and running quickly with tried and tested components. New screens can be added in a few clicks, or change what you need to capture with some simple configuration changes.
The system contains a large set of data capture controls that include individual details, address, phone number, email and company details. These controls have many settings that you can control, such as turning on or off capturing customer date of birth details.
Along with simple data entry fields, there are more complex controls such as shopping carts and booking date selection modules. Each control is self contained, so a number of these controls can be placed on to a single page.
Link in from your existing website, advertising sites like Facebook or even from your other IT systems. We support having a standard link to send users to our services, as well as interfaces for two systems to communicate behind the scenes.
Customers can access your business from many different avenues including 3rd party sites, your own website or your own customer management system. We cater for these access points by providing you with unique links to send customers to in order to access your service.
In the case of your own customer management system we offer XML interfaces for you to pass information across from your system to ours to start workflow processing.
The true power of our system comes from the configurable workflows that control how data is processed and what events need to happen at each step along the way. Workflows are set up by linking many processes in sequence to produce a path for a customer to take, for example joining a couple of data capture screens together followed by a notification email process.
Workflows allow you to fine tune exactly what users will see and how applications will be processed. Types of processes you can add include web screens, PayPal checkouts, email generators and data validation & checking processes.
Being an Australian based business we can appreciate the markets you operate in, and are here to help you get up and running as well as supporting you to grow your own business. We will assist you in setting up your workflows and screens by starting with some templates and then customising them to support your needs.

IBM (IBM) is trading off in sympathy to Accenture's (ACN) lowered guidance. Will the fall be enough for dividend growth investors to take notice? In any case, let's take a look at the strength of IBM's dividend.
Evaluating IBM's Dividend
Big Blue's dividend yield is surprisingly below average, offering just at a 1.9% annual payout at recent price levels. However, we think the safety of IBM's dividend is excellent (please see our definitions at the bottom of this article). We measure the safety of the dividend in a unique but very straightforward fashion. As many know, earnings can fluctuate, so using the payout ratio in any given year has some limitations. Plus, companies can often encounter unforeseen charges, which makes earnings an even less-than-predictable measure of the safety of the dividend. We know that companies won't cut the dividend just because earnings have declined or they had a restructuring charge that put them in the red for the quarter (year). As such, we think that assessing the cash flows of a business allows us to determine whether it has the capacity to continue paying these cash outlays well into the future.
That has led us to develop the forward-looking Valuentum Dividend Cushion™. The measure is a ratio that sums the existing cash a company has on hand plus its expected future free cash flows over the next five years and divides that sum by future expected dividends over the same time period. Basically, if the score is above 1, the company has the capacity to pay out its expected future dividends. As income investors, however, we'd like to see a score much larger than 1 for a couple of reasons: 1) the higher the ratio, the more "cushion" the company has against unexpected earnings shortfalls, and 2) the higher the ratio, the greater capacity a dividend-payer has in boosting the dividend in the future. For IBM, this score is an impressive 3.1, revealing that on its current path the firm should be able to cover its future dividends with net cash on hand and future free cash flow. We also use our dividend cushion as a key decision component in choosing companies for addition to the portfolio of our Dividend Growth Newsletter.
Now on to the potential growth of IBM's dividend. As we mentioned above, we think the larger the "cushion" the larger capacity it has to raise the dividend. However, such dividend growth analysis is not complete until after considering management's willingness to increase the dividend. To do so, we evaluate the company's historical dividend track record. If there have been no dividend cuts in 10 years, the company has a nice growth rate, and a nice dividend cushion, its future potential dividend growth would be excellent, which is the case for IBM.
And because capital preservation is also an important consideration, we assess the risk associated with the potential for capital loss (offering investors a complete picture). In IBM's case, we currently think the shares are fairly valued, so the risk of capital loss medium. If we thought the shares were undervalued, the risk of capital loss would be low. All things considered, we think IBM's dividend has significant room for further expansion as it works to deliver on its elevated earnings goals.

International Carwash Association Trade Show 2010
There was a new trend in the market this year at the ICA show and it was all web based. Two companies actually had booths, one I found their booth and the other I could not find. Then the 3rd company came over to the secwa booth, but I don't think that they had their own booth. So the idea is this: your customer wants to wash their car, so they search the internet and somehow find one of these search sites. All the sites are basically the same: you have to enter your information and then people can search for your location. They also have coupons and you can run specials. ClosestCarWash.com looks like it was developed this year while mycarwashsavings.com looks like I developed it in the 1980s.
I talked to these guys at ClosestCarWash.com and they were really nice. They like the color orange and they unfortunately tell your customers the next 3 days worth of weather. But on the plus side the website looks good and is really the only one out there!
mycarwashsavings.com Why would you use flash as my main navigator, which eliminates most mobile devices? And why do you have to use a plugin no one uses for a video player? I looked at this web site and I tried to figure out what they were doing. They want a lot of money for there service and they want the customer to pay them instead of you. Of course they take their cut of like 25%? I wouldn't give them my credit card information if I was a customer or a carwash owner. Also their twitter account is already suspended and they still have the link on their page. Bad sign!

I went by Self Service CarWashNews to take a magazine even though I subscribe, for the flight back. I also like to go by Ra-Lock but their products seemed the same this year. Which I guess is good? No real break in problems this year.
International Carwash Association Trade Show 2010 – Green Pavilion
Why is it every time I hear the word GREEN it makes me feel like there is a scam involved? The ICA had a Green Pavilion this year and you think "what are people trying to sell us this time?" But this is really bad even though I am not a treehugger.
From the ICA website " All products accepted into the Green Pavilion must meet at least one of the following criteria" ONE!!!???
"Less toxic, Minimally polluting, More energy efficient, Safer and healthier for customers employees and the environment"
What product wouldn't qualify? This is absolutely hilarious and makes you wonder about all the other GREEN scams out there!

Fragramatics sells the largest vacuum in the WORLD! Just what you need… a vacuum with everything on it. Talk about everything being in a huge knot every time someone uses anything. Just seems like a bad idea. Couple that with the unit probably being hard to work on for repairs like the older models. But I think they look the best in the business though, which is good except for the ugly flower. Well I thought it was fine until Greg pointed it out to me now I hate the flower.
Just a large air compressor… that's all.
This was an interesting product. A basic J.E. Adams vacuum with a credit card reader, bill acceptor and coin acceptor.

Did you know that Sonny's sells a friction and a touch free automatic? Sonny's I think is going to hire everyone in the industry and also put everyone else out of business.

Speaking of Kleen-Rite do you notice the thing on the right the touch free automatic? Yes it is a Cobra that purple thing that Kleen-Rite use to sell.

I really liked this product. This could replace your neon and stand up to vandalism better. I lost their show specials but their website says $500 for 100 foot roll. SunLitz LEDs by Rain Tunnel not really sure about their name. SunLiz? What is that suppose to be Sunled?
I really liked this product! But he did not have any brochures and business cards so I wrote in on one of my cards and I lost it. But you can set up the credit card processing through anyone unlike Etowah Valley's system and you can also get a Hamilton credit card reader for it I think it costs around $2800? The system is for 6 ports and it costs around $6000? All it uses is 1 cat5 run to connect and high speed internet and you can repair the credit card reader!
Now I am going to have to try some Microcoin coin acceptors. These seem great! But if you look above the coin acceptor there is a little black box. That is part of the coin acceptor…… that is CRAPPY! But everything else sounds great. No tool opening to clear jams and seems easy to program. Will not jam with really crappy coins, it has a 2 year warranty, and it can be repaired reasonably unlike IDX X-10 (the guy said $60-$80). Plus you can program tons of coins and it is not that bad of a price (retails for $219.95).
International Carwash Association Trade Show 2010

They made a new rule this year for certain people that go around and solicit businesses for sales / advertising, but they did not enforce it. It is really a big problem and I guess you would just have to turn them in?
I really didn't do anything today besides talk to people and really didn't get around to taking that many pictures.

I loved this lens! I was a little worried that I would find the size of it cumbersome for all the hiking I would be doing as I was using it to photograph wild horses. Without question it needs support with either a monopod or tripod. I used both depending on where I was going to be. As a fixed focal length, it lived up to the Nikon standard of excellence with sharpness and fast focus. I had previously used the 200-400mm f/4 and the quality of image far surpasses that lens IMHO. Without any question, I will use this lens again and it arrived in beautiful condition and worked perfectly. Thank you BL!

AT&T Park, San Francisco, California
SAN FRANCISCO -- Ryan Vogelsong already has figured out the easiest way to win with the San Francisco Giants: Just give the bullpen a lead.
He's done it better than anyone this season.Vogelsong labored through five innings to regain the National League's best ERA, five relievers combined to throw four scoreless innings and the Giants beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 on Saturday night."Winners find a way to win, and he kept his composure," said bearded closer Brian Wilson, who tossed a five-pitch ninth for his 30th save. "Guys were ecstatic to get him the win."Vogelsong (8-1) allowed two runs on seven hits in one of his least spectacular outings of the season, grinding out one of his hardest-earned victories. The journeyman All-Star piled up enough innings for his 2.10 ERA to qualify for the lowest in the league again, just ahead of Pittsburgh's Jeff Karstens' 2.28.Nate Schierholtz drove in two runs and Aubrey Huff delivered the go-ahead sacrifice fly in the fifth. Andres Torres also had a run-scoring single in front of an announced crowd of 42,277, San Francisco's 49th straight sellout crowd -- which, along with players, love to cheer on Vogelsong in what has become a storybook season for a guy who bounced around the minors and Japan for years."There was definitely another notch in the department of loud tonight," Wilson said.Randy Wolf (6-8) gave up three runs on seven hits in six innings for the Brewers, who fell back into a tie with St. Louis in the NL Central. Both are one game ahead of Pittsburgh."They're tough. They don't give up a lot of runs. Their bullpen's outstanding, so when they have a lead after the sixth, they're tough," Wolf said.Vogelsong, taking the mound a day after his 34th birthday, has become the most reliable pitcher in one of baseball's best rotations. Almost as remarkable, the right-hander's only blemish this season remains a 1-0 loss to Florida on May 26 -- the day San Francisco found out star catcher Buster Posey was out for the year with a torn ankle.Even on a night he was hardly at his best, Vogelsong's mistakes were minor.Ryan Braun hit the first pitch of the fourth inning over the left-field wall to give the Brewers a 1-0 lead. The home run was Braun's 19th.Two batters later, Giants bench coach Ron Wotus was ejected by plate umpire Sam Holbrook for arguing balls and strikes. He had to be restrained by Giants manager Bruce Bochy, and the few minutes of bickering allowed Vogelsong to regroup."I told him thank you," Vogelsong said of Wotus. "It definitely motivated me a little bit."The Giants also backed their starter with a trio of spectacular defensive plays.Rickie Weeks was thrown out at the plate by left fielder Cody Ross later in the fourth, sliding in a toe late on a sharp tag by catcher Chris Stewart. After Yuniesky Betancourt singled, Stewart faked a throw to second and caught Casey McGehee heading for the plate from third for an easy out.After Schierholtz put San Francisco ahead 2-1 in the bottom of the inning with a two-run double, Nyjer Morgan shook off boos and hit an RBI double in the fifth to even the score. The San Francisco native, who taunted the home fans a night earlier with repeated hand gestures following a running grab against the wall in center, pumped his arms in the air after sliding into second.Morgan was thrown out trying to take third on a ball in the dirt with Braun at the plate with two outs, and fans mockingly gave him an extended standing ovation.The Giants followed that up by manufacturing a run the hard way. Mike Fontenot moved Aaron Rowand to second on a sacrifice bunt, and he went to third on Pablo Sandoval's infield single.Huff lifted a sacrifice fly to left to put San Francisco ahead 3-2. Andres Torres added a pinch-hit RBI single in the eighth to give the Giants a 4-2 lead.Relievers Santiago Casilla, Jeremy Affeldt, Sergio Romo, Javier Lopez and Wilson all held Milwaukee scoreless over the final four innings."You can't say enough about the bullpen," Bochy said. "What they've done, it's been fun to watch. They've saved us so many times."Game notes
Giants LHP Jonathan Sanchez, on the disabled list with biceps tendinitis, will make one more rehab start for Triple-A Fresno on Wednesday. ... The Giants held a softball game for players' children two hours before the game as part of the team's family day. ... Brewers 1B Prince Fielder might get a rare day to rest Sunday with an off day scheduled Monday, manager Ron Roenicke said.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Warm Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine Eyes: Blue
I'm torn. I use this a lot; practically daily, I routinely do wet pincurl sets and use Lottabody. I have fine, but fairly thick Scandinavian hair, around shoulderlength, slightly wavy, in a modified middy cut for a 30's to 50's kind of look, and partially colour-treated. It doesn't hold curls very well, Lottabody definitely helps with that. If I'm lucky I can stretch one set out for up to four days or so, with a bit of upkeep but without having to re-set it all over again.
However, finding just the right amount for your hair is not entirely easy, and it does get frizzy sometimes. Pointfix helps with the frizz, but still. In general, I set my hair towel dried, but still quite wet. I part it to the side and divide it into lengthwise sections about 2-3 cm wide, parallel to the part. I add 3-5 drops of Lottabody per section as I proceed, dividing each lengthwise section into 4-7 smaller strands and curling them. It's not an exact science, and I honestly don't know what the water to setting lotion ratio is; 2 to 1, perhaps? It's not optimal and the amount of trial and error you have to do to find a ratio that works for your hair is probably the biggest drawback with Lottabody; you need to do some work to make it work for you. It has to be diluted. It will turn out bad every once in a while, but every hairstyle does.
It does provide me with huge amounts of fluffy volume, which is a joy for someone with naturally flat and slippery hair, and apart from the occasional overdose, resulting in frizz, it performs very well. Setting lotions have become hard to come by where I live, but I have a reliable source of huge, inexpensive bottles of Lottabody and that alone makes it worth sticking with. I have never found it crunchy or sticky, but I always brush out my set when dry. Has a nice, unobtrusive old-fashioned barbershop kind of fragrance. All in all, troublesome but very much worth it.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Sensitive, Fair Hair: Other, Straight, Fine Eyes: Grey
I've really been liking this. I recently started using product in my hair again after years of needing nothing but a smoothing type cream for an ultrashort pixie. I use it for vintage-inspired pincurls and really it has given me no reason to stray or experiment.
My hair won't hold a dry set well but I find wet hair frustrating to pincurl so I apply Lottabody to damp hair after I shower (for my fine, straight shoulder length hair I use it diluted about 50/50 and pour about a tablespoon of this mixture into my palms, then rub through my hair). I let it air dry almost completely, pincurl, then saturate the curls using a spray bottle of water, and sleep on it.
I end up with soft, shiny, well defined curls that brush out well to soft vintage inspired looks. I have never experienced crunchiness or tackiness, and although my hair is prone to limpness the Lottabody has never seemed to weigh it down. There's definitely a difference in how well my sets last with Lottabody versus without.
It has no scent that I can detect, and I like the reduced-waste packaging of buying it in a dilutable form. Plus it's cheap as can be. Going to stick with it.

Age: 36-43 Skin: Sensitive, Medium Brown, Warm Hair: Black, Curly, Fine Eyes: Brown
How do I know I am a product junkie? Every few months, I dig through all the "trying-this" products in my hair stuff drawer, come up with this, can't remember why it fell from favor, and use it diluted 50/50 in a wet set. To get right to the point, I love the shiny curls (big rollers yield about 1-inch ringlets) that hold perfectly against frizziness so long as I Do Not Touch them beyond finger-raking. I don't love the texture or look once I brush it out and can't be sure that I can fix this by increasing dilution, but I haven't really tried.
So why do I keep buying & trying (this would be a rhetorical question but for MUA :D)? I need to get past the extremely plain bottle and irrational association with other stuff my mom used back in the day like Dippity Do and Nestle's Superset (can I get a witness?). Gotta keep working with Lottabody, at least until I fall for the next brightly colored can/jar/bottle of snake oil...from Armenian baby snakes, maybe, raised only on macadamia nuts (joking reference to eternal search for HG - do not look for this product).
P.S. If it matters, I have fine Af/Am hair (3a-3b curl pattern), which I prefer to wear in loose waves after brushing out a wet set. In the semi-tropical climate where I live, we are rarely without at least 50% humidity. Frizziness is a constant state of being.

Um, yeah, I don't know if I'm not doing this right or what, but it doesn't seem to work for me. First of all, I should say that I use hot rollers, not the other kind. I tried washing my hair, putting in a 50/50 mixture of this when it was damp, blow drying, and then putting in a little more of this. Then I wait for that to dry and put in my hot rollers. Am I doing this incorrectly? I really really want this to work for me, so if anyone has any advice, let me know.

I do vintage styles (curls) with my hair regularly, and usually my curls only last a couple of hours, no matter how much hairspray I use. If I remember to use lottabody after I wash my hair (diluted in a spray bottle and sprayed onto wet hair), my curls last for DAYS! I can get gorgeous, soft, lasting 1940's curls with this setting lotion. It's amazing. Highly recommended!

I bought this to do wet sets for pin curls but I started to use this during blow outs to create body in my flat hair.
This works really well for that. It creates body without being sticky or helmet head like at all. The price is right and you can do dilutions for stronger or softer hold. This also makes your hair shinier too!

I had read so many rave reviews of Lottabody Setting Lotion that I had to try it for myself. I've used other setting lotions on my medium-thick, wavy-curly hair before to tame the poufiness and to add body, so I figured I would love Lottabody.
Unfortunately, I wasn't so crazy about it.
First, it seemed like I could never get the dilution right. I'm pretty sure I would need to use it straight to get it to work with my hair, which has a sort of spongy texture. It didn't hold my style at all, but it did give my hair body.
Second, I'm 99.9% sure that this stuff caused a horrible rash that appeared on my neck and jawline right after using it. My skin is so sensitive that it's hard for me to pinpoint any one thing that can cause it to break out in a rash, but I'm leaning toward the Lottabody in this instance, simply because it made my head itch really bad, too. Again, I haver really sensitive skin, so for most people, I doubt this would be a problem.

I've been using LottaBody for yearrrrsssssss now since I was a little girl. I have relaxed shoulder length hair and this product keeps roller set curls, pin curls, straw curls, flexi & perm rod styles for days! I love it, it's my staple product!

Dude, this shit is AMAZING.
Me: Thick Asian hair that holds neither volume nor curls.
Me + Lottabody diluted (1:4? I don't remember): Curls that last for days. Curls that I can't brush out.
This stuff turns my hair into some kinda curl-holding mutant. It's MAGIC. Stuff lasts until I wash my hair again.
So HG.

The National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a part of the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons - sets national standards for Breast Care Centers. This independent organization evaluates the quality of care in breast programs by looking at key quality measures and only awards certification if these standards are met. The Breast Care Center at BIDMC has received full, three-year accreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, and is the first breast center at a Boston academic medical center to achieve this status. BIDMC also participates in the Commission on Cancer's efforts to monitor the quality of cancer care in partnership with the National Quality Forum.
Each year over 600 patients are treated for breast cancer at BIDMC. Presented below is BIDMC's performance on key quality measures, compared to national performance benchmarks.

Pure vs Practical REST
(Note: Opinions expressed in this article and its replies are the opinions of their respective authors and not those of DZone, Inc.)
Nice Robot replied on Thu, 2012/05/10 - 10:08am
The primary difference between practical and pure is service description and discovery. It's rarely implemented in practical REST. All the other differences you point out are more about the usefulness of those features to a specific application. Service discovery is ignored because of the effort involved to implement it vs ROI.

D.C. deer killing: California animal rights group loses fight
WASHINGTON (AP) - An animal rights group has lost a fight to prevent officials from killing some deer in Rock Creek Park.
A judge on Thursday ruled against California-based In Defense of Animals and five District of Columbia residents who had filed a lawsuit to prevent the killings.
The National Park Service considered several options but ultimately decided the deer population needed to be reduced and that killing some was the best option. Animal rights advocates argued the deer could be managed with nonlethal methods. A judge hearing the case ruled for the park service.
Rock Creek Park deputy superintendent Cindy Cox says the park service is pleased with the ruling, and they're looking forward to implementing the deer-control plan. No dates for killing the deer have been established.

Dame Laura Knight Biographie
One of the leading female artists of the twentieth century. She studied at Nottingham School of Art and in 1898 she moved to Staithes, where she set up a Studio. In 1903 she married the artist Harold Knight and following a short interval painting in Holland, they moved to Newlyn, where they became leading members of the Newlyn School of Artists. In 1919 she moved to St. John's Wood, which was to be the base for the remainder of her life.
An impressionist painter and a member of the Newlyn School of Art, She was the first woman artist to be made a Dame of the British Empire. From 1903 she exhibited at the Royal Academy and in the same year she married the artist Harold Knight (1874 – 1961), changing her surname from Johnson. At first they lived in an artist's colony in Staines, North Yorkshire, until moving to Newlyn, Cornwall, in 1907.
Although Knight painted various subjects, her reputation was founded on paintings of the ballet and the circus. She painted backstage at the Diaghilev ballet's sessions in London and took lessons at Tillers dance academy in St Martin's Lane in order to draw there. She also traveled with the Mills and Carmos Circus. An accomplished portraitist, she painted wartime commissions and was an official war artist at the Nuremburg War Trials.

That new NCAA rule allowing schools to pay athletes up to $2,000 more per year? Great for the big programs, since it will help in recruiting, but an extra challenge for the little guys.
↵Except for just about the littlest guy of all, apparently:
↵↵↵The Sun Belt Conference chief executive officers and athletic directors have unanimously agreed to embrace the NCAA Board of Directors' actions regarding cost of attendance and the awarding of multiyear scholarships.
↵The institutional administrators agreed that each university will determine how cost of attendance and multiyear scholarships will be administered on each campus.

iPhone 5S sales outpace 5C two to one -- analyst
Apple's iPhone 5S is more than twice as popular as the company's iPhone 5C, according to a new report.
During September, the iPhone 5S accounted for 64 percent of all Apple smartphone sales, easily topping the iPhone 5C's 27 percent share, according to data obtained by All Things Digital from research firm Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP). Just 9 percent of customers bought the iPhone 4S last month.
Despite its lead in September, the iPhone 5S might not always be such a popular choice among consumers, CIRP co-founder Josh Lowitz told All Things Digital in an interview … Read more

Q&A With USA 7s Top Dogs |
Tournaments - USA Sevens Tournament | |||||||
In the 2012 tournament, the event set American records for largest attendance of any single-day rugby event, with 30,112 coming to the stadium to see Saturday's action, and total attendance for a multi-day event, with 64,107 for the entire weekend. Dan Lyle: Any validation from your peers is good! We know we have a great event – challenges in the US market have to be overcome one by one and this award does not mean they are defeated, so when you are given a pep talk in the middle of a battle it is always a good thing regardless. Jonathan First: Our new partner for hotels, the MGM Resorts Group, has brought a commitment to build rugby 7s in Las Vegas. From the fan experience, the fans will feel the event in the hotel from the lobby to the bars to their rooms. From an event standpoint, the MGM group is positioning rugby 7s as the world class sport it is to its travel partners, guests and marketing partners. We have stepped up our event with such a strong and committed hospitality partner. We also have a great partnership with Stations Casinos, the Presenting Partner of the LVI – this gives teams the chance to be near the fields, have direct access to the stadium via shuttles, receive a great discount on registration, but most importantly pick a price that they can afford as a team and get great added value such as inexpensive food, and other offers. All in all Stations is a guarantee for the easiest logistically and meeting and hanging with the rugby fraternity.
Dan Lyle: The venue is intimate for the fans, which is great, and intimate from the teams perspective, which is great for many, but challenging for some. We are improving and adding benefit for the teams each year and the fans as well with different amenities and performance pieces. However a new venue in Vegas would solidify this event and add to our capacity for further events in Vegas. So we love Vegas and we balance it with a facility that is working, at times very well in certain aspects, but does not satisfy our overall needs completely.
Dan Lyle: This will be the first year where we have three days, same times and similar menu, so we will improve the experience just by doing things better than last. The LVI fields are improving across the board. The team practice fields are improving, we are adding dozens of new teams and will feature some great event parties and venue productions (this is my teaser, more to come). What I can say is that we are improving on a good product which should get those that have not already put the event on their permanent calendar impetus to do so!
Dan Lyle: Good question. Canada is a great add for us as a core team, while Spain and Portugal are anomalies for us – will they play well? They did in Australia. More importantly, will they add a fan following the way Samoa, Fiji, or Kenya has? That would be a home run. We are investigating where the pockets of these nationalities and expats are in the States and welcome suggestions to inspire their fans.
Dan Lyle: Many, many things. Events are not turnkey. Each year, no matter if it is the 1st or 20th year, you have to go through many of the same operational pieces. It takes many hours to organize the venue, marketing, team operations, broadcasts, transportation, etc. You set up best practices and therefore while you have a similar time commitment, you hope that the end product for the team, fan and viewer is that much better.
Dan Lyle: Las Vegas is a destination city, so hosting the tournament across three days not only aligns well with our TV coverage, but also with our fan's travel schedules. Last year, over 11,000 fans attended our first-ever Friday night round of competition, and we considered that very successful. This year, we're seeing an even greater trend in fans purchasing 3-day tickets, not only because of the great value, but for the opportunity to view another day of world-class rugby competition. We expect records crowds for this year's Friday night competition, and are anticipating a packed house on Saturday and Sunday.
Dan Lyle: Well not unique in that Dubai has an event, Hong Kong has the tens and a few other pieces, but unique in the size and diversity plus-plus. We have 250-300 teams coming in and all want great competition, great value and to have a great time. Our value proposition for the fan is still highly tied to playing the game as is watching the game. This is a business, but this is a requirement for the business to work. Each team plays its part in helping grow the event, be ambassadors for the sport and showing the world that American rugby in terms of culture and ability are on the rise. We are proud of our effort here!
Jonathan First: There is no doubt that a new stadium with the modern conveniences players and fans have come to expect would greatly benefit our event and every other event Las Vegas brings into the stadium venue. This of course is an economic issue for the city of Las Vegas and we will have to wait and see if and when this may become a reality. In the meantime, the folks who run Sam Boyd Stadium have been terrific to work with and have been a major part of making our event the success it is.
Dan Lyle: Well they renewed us for another couple of years, so I think we are doing something right – seriously our value in economic terms has gone from $12 million, to $14 million to $20 million with an incremental rise in hotel rooms to over 22,000 annually. The rugby demo is great for the city and is a valuable commodity for our sport – the greater our value proposition comes and the more and more people that decide that rugby is great sport to play AND watch the better our events in the US will become. We love our fans and Vegas loves them to – we are growing in partnership with both. Jonathan First: We bring in $20 million-plus dollars to the city of Las Vegas during our tournament. Las Vegas Events, which is the entity responsible for bringing in new events to the city, is more than happy with our event. We continue to grow each year and have put Las Vegas on the map with regard to hosting a world class Olympic sport event in their great city.

Paula, I love you and your cooking shows. I love to eat at your restaruant when I can. At one time you were a little nobody like your fans. Now all of a sudden your known all over the US and maybe the world and people can't even take a picture of you and your sons at a book signing?? You will have a professional photographer there to take pictures and charge an arm and a leg for one! Remember where you were at one time and who made you who you are. Do you really need the money to charge for pictures? Are you going to charge for the book signing also? Money isn't everything. Be thankful for your fans, and my goodness if they want a picture, let them take it with their own camera's.

I actually have a question for you. My mother passed away a few years ago and she never used recipes.Before she passed away she got dementia and I never got to get any recipes from her. My favorite was chocolate pie with meringue. I once asked how she made it and she said I make it the same way I make homemade banana pudding, but I add cocoa. I can only cook desserts using exact recipes. Do you have a recipe for this that would be like hers? I have collected recipes for at least 35 years including all of your books and your families. I have not seen this exact recipe. I think she made it up.

I'm so proud of you and you can tell your pounds are falling off. I'm in the same boat you are in and I know how hard it is to lose weight. I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes 3 years ago. I've lost 40lbs and I'm stuck there. Good Luck
By Debbie Parker on May 22, 2012
Paula, I heard the bad mouthing you about your food and desserts. I just want you to know I love you and all your recipes. I don't care what they say I will always stand by your side to defend you. People need to understand that we eat a lot different from the people anywhere else. Our recipes are rich with flavoring and spices. If we didn't our recipes would not taste the same which we are known for our recipes. We all need to watch our weight and get fit. But they are all blowing it out of propotion. Thank you for being you. I love your recipes and love you as a person. You can cheer up anyone when they are feeling down by watching your show. Thank you, Paula!
By Darlene Danos on May 22, 2012
I just want to say you are looking fabulous!!! I too have changed my eating habits and being very watchful of what and how much I eat. It is not an easy task to follow but I know it is for my health and well being. You are my very favorite cook and I am always trying your recipes with much success. My family and friends enjoy them also as I share alot with them. God bless you for being you and I hope you and your family have a blessed Memorial Day!!! I hope to some day be able to come to your restaurant and eat and hopefully be able to meet you Paula! That would be so awesome!!!:-)
