Tyree Cinque Simmons (born April 22, 1978),[1] professionally known as DJ Drama, is an American DJ & record producer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was first known as the official DJ for Grand Hustle recording artist T.I.. He is best known for hosting mixtapes, most notably his successful "Gangsta Grillz" series. He is also known for doing the Dedication series with American rapper Lil Wayne, with the New York Times calling Dedication 2, one of the "10 best recordings of 2006".[2]
DJ Drama along with Don Cannon, DJ Sense founded Aphilliates Music Group in 2003. The Aphilliates Music Group signed a joint venture deal with Asylum Records in 2006. The first artist signed was American rapper Willie the Kid. As of January 2011, The Aphilliates now operates as its own entity, due to DJ Drama recently cutting ties with La the Darkman and Embassy Entertainment.[3] In January 2014, it was announced that DJ Drama was the new A&R for Atlantic Records.
Music career[edit]
DJ Drama's Gangsta Grillz: The Album was released in December 2007 on the Grand Hustle label. The album's first buzz single, "Takin' Pictures", was released in 2007 and featured Young Jeezy, Willie the Kid, Jim Jones, Rick Ross, Young Buck and T.I..[4] The album's lead single "5000 Ones", featuring Nelly, T.I., Yung Joc, Willie the Kid, Young Jeezy and Twista, debuted on BET.[5] The second single, "The Art of Storytellin' Part 4", was released in 2008 and featured OutKast and Marsha Ambrosius.
In 2009, DJ Drama released his second album entitled Gangsta Grillz: The Album (Vol. 2), the first single was "Day Dreaming", which featured Akon, Snoop Dogg and T.I. The second single was "Ridiculous", which featured Gucci Mane, Yo Gotti, Lonnie Mac and OJ da Juiceman. Both singles were released in 2009. The album sold 19,000 copies in its first week, and as of January 5, 2010 the album sold 41,022 copies.
DJ Drama released his third studio album Third Power, on October 11, 2011. The first single "Oh My", featuring rappers Fabolous, Wiz Khalifa and Roscoe Dash, was released on May 13, 2011. The second single "Never See You Again", features female singer Talia Coles and rapper Wale.[6] The Gangsta Grillz album reunites DJ Drama and Don Cannon who had gone their separate ways for a few years after a lot of fighting and arguing as business partners.[7] The album debuted at #42 on the Billboard 200 chart.
In late 2012, he released Quality Street Music, his fourth album. The album was preceded by the singles "We in This Bitch" and "My Moment". The album debuted at number fifteen on the Billboard 200 and at number three on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, selling 25,000 copies on its first week.[8] Quality Street Music is DJ Drama's highest charting album to date. As of Feb. 7 2013 it has sold 51,080 copies.[9] On January 8, 2014, it was announced that DJ Drama would now serve as the A&R for Atlantic Records.[10]

After narrowly surviving his last operation, Gabriel Allon, the wayward son of Israeli intelligence, has taken refuge behind the walls of the Vatican, where he is restoring one of Caravaggio's greatest masterpieces. But early one morning he is summoned to St. Peter's Basilica by Monsignor Luigi Donati, the all-powerful private secretary to His Holiness Pope Paul VII. The body of a beautiful woman lies broken beneath Michelangelo's magnificent dome. The Vatican police suspect suicide, though Gabriel believes otherwise. So, it seems, does Donati. But the monsignor is fearful that a public inquiry might inflict another scandal on the Church, and so he calls upon Gabriel to quietly pursue the truthwith one caveat.
"Rule number one at the Vatican," Donati said. "Don't ask too many questions."
Gabriel learns that the dead woman had uncovered a dangerous secreta secret that threatens a global criminal enterprise that is looting timeless treasures of antiquity and selling them to the highest bidder. But there is more to this network than just greed. A mysterious operative is plotting an act of sabotage that will plunge the world into a conflict of apocalyptic proportions. . . .
An intoxicating blend of art, intrigue, and history, The Fallen Angel moves swiftly from the cloistered chambers of the Vatican to the glamorous ski slopes of St. Moritz to the graceful avenues of Berlin and Viennaand, finally, to a shocking climax beneath the world's most sacred and contested parcel of land. Each setting in this extraordinary novel is rendered with the care of an Old Master, as are the spies, lovers, priests, and thieves who inhabit its pages. It is a story of faith and of the destructive power of secretsand an all too timely reminder that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Praise for The Fallen Angel…
"It's become almost obligatory for lovers of high level thrillers to read each new Daniel Silva novel as soon as it appears. With his by now trademark character, Gabriel Allon...Silva just about guarantees a couple of days of terrific entertainment."
-NPR, All Things Considered
"Daniel Silva's The Fallen Angel soars with authenticity….The Fallen Angel delivers the goods….Riveting espionage adventures that have timely, real-world relevance."
-Dallas-Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"Meticulously researched....The Fallen Angel is a first-class spy mystery painted on a grand scale."

Lamination provides more of a grip on the animals paw which spreads out the pressure of the trap over a bigger area and allows for more blood flow in the paw. Basically, it is advantageous to the trapper in that it gives you a better grip and to the animal as it makes being in the trap more comfortable.
DEFINITELY get offset jaws if you get coilsprings and if you can, get laminated ones as well. Offsets are a must in my opinion. Regular jaws are ok in a drowning set scenario as the animal is dispatched quickly, but in a non-lethal set up, the animal can begin to loose feeling in the paw which leads to them harming themselves. (think the "chewed their leg off to get out of the trap" myth). They won't intentionally hurt themselves, but once the paw goes numb, they don't realize what they're doing, they're just biting at the trap and getting their paw in the process.
As for NAFA, I don't sell to them directly, I just sell to a fur buyer in my area. I don't know that it's worth shipping to NAFA directly unless you have a bunch of fur or if you don't have a fur buyer anywhere near you.

IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern

If a mysterious trill catches your attention in the night, bear in mind the spooky sound may come from an owl no bigger than a pint glass. Common east of the Rockies in woods, suburbs, and parks, the Eastern Screech-Owl is found wherever trees are, and they're even willing to nest in backyard nest boxes. These supremely camouflaged birds hide out in nooks and tree crannies through the day, so train your ears and listen for them at night.
The Eastern Screech-Owl is a short, stocky bird, with a large head and almost no neck. Its wings are rounded; its tail is short and square. Pointed ear tufts are often raised, lending its head a distinctive silhouette.
Eastern Screech-Owls can be either mostly gray or mostly reddish-brown (rufous). Whatever the overall color, they are patterned with complex bands and spots that give the bird excellent camouflage against tree bark. Eyes are yellow.
Eastern Screech-Owls are active at night and are far more often heard than seen—most bird watchers know this species only from its trilling or whinnying song. However, this cavity-roosting owl can be attracted to nest boxes or, if you're sharp-eyed, spotted in daylight at the entrance to its home in a tree cavity.
Trees define the Eastern Screech-Owl's habitat. This owl is fairly common in most types of woods (evergreen or deciduous; urban or rural), particularly near water. It shuns treeless expanses of mountains or plains.
Eastern and Western Screech-Owl's ranges do not overlap, so almost all the time they can be safely identified based on location. The two species look extremely similar, but fortunately their vocalizations are quite different. Eastern Screech-Owl gives a whistled trill and Western a series of bouncing notes that accelerate toward the end of the song. The Northern Saw-whet Owl is slightly smaller than Eastern Screech-Owl and lacks ear tufts, so its head is always rounded. Northern Saw-whet Owl has heavy brown streaks on a white breast, with less intricate patterning than screech-owls have. Juvenile Saw-whets have a dark brown head and back, and are oddly buffy-orange on their breast and belly.
The "McCall's" Eastern Screech-Owl (Asio otus mccallii), inhabits south-central Texas and parts of northern Mexico. It may prove to be a separate species, as it is always gray and never gives the "whinny" call. The two common color morphs, gray and rufous, represent individual variation and don't vary consistently by region or subspecies.
Eastern Screech-Owls readily accept nesting boxes, so the placement of such boxes may attract them to your yard. Our NestWatch project has information about nest boxes and instructions on how to build one the right size for a screech-owl. These owls also use birdbaths and will visit them to drink and bathe.
Listen in wooded areas at night for the trills and whinnies of this vocal owl. Your best chance of seeing an Eastern Screech-Owl may be to listen for the excited voices of songbirds mobbing an owl they have found. You can also look closely at tree cavities and nest boxes; especially on cold sunny days, you may see the owl sunning sleepily in the entrance.

What to expect at Comic-Con 2009
Yes, it is that time in San Diego where vampires can be seen congregating in San Diego's beautiful downtown and no one bats an eye. It is the time when the Gaslamp District looks something out of Star War's Mos Eisley Cantina. It is the time when it is not only commonplace to see your cubicle partners dressed up as Superheroes, but it is expected.
It is the 40th Anniversary of San Diego Comic-Con 2009 and Fox 5 is giving you a special preview to help get you ready for the experience. Comic-Con kicks off with a Special Preview Night on Wednesday, July 22 for members with 4-day registration badges. Comic-Con officially starts on Thursday, July 23 and ends on July 26. Attendees are hoping to share in the latest buzz surrounding the comic publishing industry and get the latest news (and autographs) from their favorite comic writers, actors, and artists. If you plan to go, come up with a game plan and arrive early. I suggest printing a map at http://issuu.com/comic-con/docs/cci09_maps first. Here is your sneak preview and best bets for the Special Preview and Opening Day of Comic-Con Convention. Enjoy!
WEDNESDAY, JULY 22 6:00pm to 9:00pm
BEST BET:"The Human Target"/"V" Sneak Peek Pilot Screening
Wednesday, July 22 attendees will be treated t o a special Sneak Peek Pilot Screenings of highly anticipated TV series for the upcoming 2009-2010 season- "The Human Target", "V", and "The Vampire Diaries"."The Human Target" (FOX) -- Loosely based on the popular DC Comics title about Christopher Chance, a private detective and bodyguard who protects his clients from harm, will air Wednesdays at 9:00pm on FOX beginning in January. The series stars Mark Valley, Chi McBride, and Jackie Earle Haley, who starred in "The Watchmen" after a long hiatus from the Bad News Bears movies on the 80's. An ill-fated attempt was made in the 1990s to bring "The Human Target" to ABC starring Rick Springfield ("Jessie's Girl") as Christopher Chance. Whereas, the DC Comic has Chance taking on the identity of his targets, the TV series from FOX will have Chance take on nondescript cover identities that keep him close to the "target"."V" (ABC) I have to admit, I loved the 1983 V miniseries about the reptilian visitors who come to earth to try to earn the trust in order to devour the human race. The 1983 series starred Marc Singer ("Beastmaster") and featured Robert Englund ("Nightmare on Elm Street") before he gained fame as Freddy Krueger. ***SPOILER ALERT***: You come to learn in the new series, that the alien visitors have been here before. The updated series has FBI agent Erica Evans (Elizabeth Mitchell of Lost) and son Tyler (Logan Huffman) replacing the 1983 lead role of Mike Donovan played by Marc Singer. I remember being freaked out when a resistance female gave birth to an evil V lizard and bet that comes into play again. That being said, if the preview is indicative of the series pilot, it will surpass the original series and deliver a sci-fi spectacular you will not want to miss. If you cannot make the Wednesday night preview, a second showing will take place on Saturday at the V panel session. "The Vampire Diaries" (CW)-- The CW has picked up "The Vampire Diaries", a romantic and edgy TV series based on the novels written by L.J. Smith about Elena Gilbert, a high school girl, who is conflicted between two vampire brothers who are fighting for her soul. I know "The Vampire Diaries" came before the popular "Twilight" series and I know I am not the target audience, but I have to admit I have my reservations with this one. I am going to keep an open mind just like I did when I went to the Opening Night premiere of the movie "Twilight" but I have to be honest and tell you that I was more terrified of the hundreds of screaming, prepubescent females than I was of the vampires. The new TV series stars Nina Dobrev (Degrassi: The Next Generation), Paul Wesley (Everwood), and Ian Somerhalder (Lost). If there is any indication that this is going to be a marginal series, look at what Executive Producer, Kevin Williamson has chosen as his latest work - a writing credit in Wes Craven's "Scream 4", rumored to star David Arquette and Courteney Cox. The Vampire Diaries will air Thursdays at 8:00pm starting on September 10 on The CS.
BEST BETS: "Disney 3D Panel" / "Robot Chicken" / " Terry Gilliam"
11:00am to 12:30pm "Disney 3D: Panel"-- Everyone loves Walt Disney Pictures, right? Be prepared to hear about four upcoming movies: " Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland" a star-studded cast based on the Lewis Carroll novel; Mars Needs Moms "Mars Needs Moms!" based on the Berkeley Breathed's (Bloom County) children's story about a boy named Milo who must rescue his mother after she has been kidnapped by aliens; "A Christmas Carol a CGI picture featuring Jim Carrey and motion-capture technology; and "TRON 2.0" a sequel to the 1982 movie about the Master Control programmer of a video game. The panel is moderated by Actor Patton Oswalt ("Ratatouille") an features special guests Robert Zemeckis, Tim Burton, Sean Bailey, and Steve Lisberger. (Hall H)
3:00pm to 4:00pm "Robot Chicken with Titan Maximum" -- I am a fan of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim series, Robot Chicken. I think creators Seth Green and Tom Root are very creative and are masterminds when it comes to the comic genius of Robot Chicken. The series delivers irreverent comedy that sucker punches the fan boy and nostalgic in all of us. It is no doubt that they will be promoting their latest DVD, Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II. They announced a show exclusive that allowed attendees who purchase a DVD with an early entry voucher to an all ages Skate Party in National City. Vouchers will allow attendees to enter the party an hour earlier than the general public, where I am sure it will be no problem to get that DVD autographed (hint-hint). I will be walking Comic-Con with friend, co-writer, and Autograph Collector columnist, Josh Board. This will be a must attend. (Room 6A)
4:30pm to 5:00pm "Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus" -- Heath Ledger's untimely and tragic death happened during the filming for this Terry Gilliam movie starring Christopher Plummer as Dr. Parnassus, who taps into the dreams of others with the help of the devil ( Tom Waits). A theatre troupe, joined by a mysterious con man named Tony, set out to rescue the Doctor Parnassus's daughter, Valentina (Lily Cole). Due to Ledger's death, Gilliam honors the work of Ledger by allowing a rewrite of the script to allow the character of Tony to be played by Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell. Terry Gilliam (Time Bandits, 12 Monkeys, Brazil, The Brothers Grimm, Fisher King), who started with the British comedy troupe "Monty Python's Flying Circus", has many film and directorial credits under his belt that have successfully been able to blend science fiction and fantasy together to form new worlds where strange and wonderful characters are brought to life.

Oracle's plans for Java and the proposed Sun Cloud public computing platform became clearer Wednesday, with Oracle executives giving another big thumbs-up to Java but a thumbs-down to Sun Cloud.
Under Oracle's new stewardship, Java will be expanded to more application types while the public process for amending Java will be made more participatory, an Oracle official said Wednesday at a company briefing on Oracle's Sun integration plans. The company previously has stressed its commitment to Java while waiting for the merger to close.
[ InfoWorld's Paul Krill outlines Oracle's strategy for integrating Sun's technology. | Relive the rise and fall of Sun Microsystems in InfoWorld's slideshow. ]
No interest in cloud utilities
The prognosis was not so positive for Sun Cloud, the public computing platform announced by Sun in March 2009 that was due to be deployed last summer. "We're not going to be offering the Sun Cloud service," said Edward Screven, Oracle's chief corporate architect.
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison has questioned just how new or important the cloud computing concept actually is. But, even though Oracle will not sell compute cycles through the Sun Cloud similar to what Amazon.com does, the company will offer products to serve as building blocks for public and private clouds, company officials said.
Meanwhile, Oracle offered details on the standard, enterprise, mobile, and rich media versions of Java, as well as its plans on other software technologies such as the Sun-driven NetBeans IDE and GlassFish application server.
Oracle's plans for the various Java versions
Calling Java one of the crown jewels coming over to Oracle, Thomas Kurian, executive vice president for product development, expressed ambitions "to enhance and extend the reach of the Java programming model to support emerging application development paradigms."
"Java is the world's most popular programming language," particularly in enterprises, with close to 10 million developers, Kurian said. The company will invest in and revitalize the Java developer community and make the Java Community Process, the public process for amending Java, more participatory, he said. Sun in the past had been criticized for having too much control over the process.
Specific ambitions were aired for each version of Java.
Java Standard Edition (SE), particularly the Java Virtual Machine, will be fitted with the ability to support multiple languages. This continues with Sun had already been doing, enabling the JVM to support dynamic languages like Ruby.
Also as part of its SE roadmap, Oracle will integrate the Sun HotSpot and Oracle JRockit JVMs. Oracle intends to boost performance for Hotspot, particularly for multi-core processors. Oracle also will focus on real-time monitoring for the JVM.
Garbage collection, involving discarding of no longer used programming objects, will be optimized. Local thread garbage collection will offered for better efficiency on multicore and NUMA architectures.
For Java Enterprise Edition, the goal is evolve the Java EE 6 reference implementation to address modularity. Java EE would be run in a variety of different profiles. This, too, has been a Sun goal.

For Immediate Release

Are drone strikes in Yemen convincing its civilians that the U.S. government is the most dangerous terrorist?
The Libertarian Party calls for an immediate end to drone strikes in Yemen.
"Yemenis perceive the U.S. drones strikes, which are killing peaceful citizens, to be acts of terrorism," said Geoffrey J. Neale, chair of the Libertarian National Committee. "At least in some respects, they are."
"Terrorism" refers to acts of violence that are intended to instill fear and that deliberately target or disregard the safety of civilians.
"While instilling fear among the Yemeni population at large may not be President Obama's goal, it is well known that drone strikes terrify civilians," said Neale. "His drone war in Yemen is blatant disregard for human life."
A senior Defense Ministry official in Yemen said on August 11 that U.S. drones killed nearly a dozen people believed to be innocent over the prior two weeks.
Drone strikes do little to remove terrorist threats against the United States. A Yemeni sheikh told the Christian Science Monitor, "The 'Al Qaeda' who usually get killed are just poor kids — not people who pose some special threat." He also noted that such targets are "very, very easy to replace."
Furthermore, drone strikes play into the hands of al-Queda. Farea al-Muslimi, who heads a pro-democracy organization in Yemen, said, "a big part of al-Queda's power has been convincing Yemeni that they are in a war with America."
John Glaser, columnist for the Washington Times, charges President Obama with committing acts of terrorism. "The Obama administration's relentless drone war gives the lie to the old saying that terrorism is a weapon of the weak: The world's most powerful military superpower practices terrorism too," he said.
"The Libertarian Party calls on President Obama to end the drone war in Yemen immediately," said Neale. "This will stop the carnage, stop breeding new terrorists, stop this unconstitutional war, and make peace in the Middle East possible."

Update: Spanky is in his forever home. Don't forget about his furry friends!
Spanky is a bit of a standout with his roughed up ear: due to hematoma surgery, it is permanently bent back. Spanky has an independent spirit who enjoys affection on his terms. He'll run to you to be petted, and even gives head butts.
When he's had enough, sometimes he gives a little growl. But most of the time, he simply turns around and walks away.
For over a year now, he has been waiting for a patient rescuer to come forward. A special person, with cat experience, who will give him lots of time to adjust and feel secure in his new home. Someone who will let him develop his trust at his own pace.
He is a quirky character who is lovable and entertaining. He's still somewhat playful, but he also loves to just hang out and chill. He tolerates other kitties; however, he would probably be happiest as an only cat. That way he could have all the attention to himself so that he can truly blossom, develop, bond and show affection. A quiet adult home would suit him best.Peggy's Picks is sponsored by Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League in West Palm Beach, Harmony Animal Hospital in Jupiter and Community Animal Hospital in Royal Palm Beach.

Mounting medical bills and lack of a steady income stream put Billy Basenberg of Jasper in a position he never thought possible — possibly losing his family home of 17 years. But now, thanks to the Back on the Road program, Basenberg has the opportunity to better support his family through the trade he loves most — trucking.
A veteran of the U.S. Army and a husband and father to four sons, Basenberg started in trucking 20 years ago. His passion for trucking is second only to his family and community.
"My father is the type of person who puts everyone else's needs in front of his own," Billy's son, Jason Basenberg, wrote in his Back on the Road nomination.
Unfortunately in the past several years, family injuries and illnesses have taken Basenberg off the road to care for loved ones when they needed him most.
His wife, Tammie, was in a serious car accident that left her with a debilitating back injury, forcing her to go on disability.
As Basenberg helped navigate Tammie and their four sons through her eight surgeries and therapy to help her learn to walk again, his driving loads grew lighter and their financial burdens grew deeper.
"We've been married for 31 years and Billy has never taken a vacation. He has always worked hard to take care of me and our sons," Tammie said in her Back on the Road nomination. "He is a really good man and will always be the first to help."
Despite the challenges the Basenbergs faced during this time, they managed to care for a neighbor's home after she lost her husband of 60 years and welcomed an acquaintance's son into their family for close to 10 years after his mother feared she couldn't provide for him.
Years later, Basenberg's oldest brother, with whom he was very close, fell ill and needed special care. Committed to honoring the brother who cared for him growing up, Basenberg helped his brother live with dignity and care until he passed away — even if it resulted in less time on the road — and, ultimately, losing his truck.
Through all of this, it was Basenberg who served as inspiration for two of his sons who were deployed to Iraq. While deployed, Jason survived a roadside bomb and came home on medical leave.
"When I returned with injuries from Iraq, my father gave me the motivation and courage to get through that difficult time," Jason said. "Everyone is better for meeting my dad. He is the hardest working, self-sacrificing person I have ever known."
Steve Clough, president of Arrow Truck Sales, and the selection committee were deeply moved by Basenberg's strength through the challenges he's faced over the years.
"Billy's compassion and resilience through the obstacles he's faced in life are not only inspiring, but also contagious," Clough said. "After everything Billy has done for other people — family and strangers alike — we are proud to give him this chance to represent Back on the Road, gain back his family's livelihood as an owner/operator, and enjoy this opportunity he very much deserves."
As the 2012 winner of Back on the Road, Basenberg receives a one-year lease on a 2008 MACK Pinnacle High-Rise Sleeper, a one-year work agreement with Heartland Express and other products and services.
Both Basenberg's wife, Tammie, and son, Jason, were in the audience when his name was announced as the winner in Louisville.

Was I mistaken?
I always thought that CO2 was necessary for life. I don't think that the fact a judge declares it to be a pollutant changes the science of that. So now the politicians, the ones who say the science is in and no arguments remain, use that opinion to declare CO2 as a serious pollutant.
Whatever is convenient

We all need to be vigilante in every little way we can to protect our planet.
Does the Mayor still own the big red Suburban? I saw one member of her family driving it in town not long ago.

Yes, the Mayor still owns the big red Suburban. She also purchased about two years ago a gas guzzling luxury Lexus. Her husband also drives an old, non-fuel efficient Mercedes.
I drove by her house recently and still do not see any solar panels on her house.

60 seconds with ...
Dan Clancey
Third Year part time student
Where I want to be five years from now
I hope to be qualified in 5 years from now and producing better quality documentaries than I have been making through knowledge gained during my Monash BA Journalism course.
Where I was five years ago
Five years ago, I was starting my Monash BA journalism course and not really sure what I intended to do when completed. My interviewing skills have improved and the quality of work has increased.
My favourite kind of news
My favourite kind of news is feature and particularly profile or biography pieces. I must admit I am a news junkie of all sorts and cannot get enough of hard breaking news. ABC 24 is from heaven and I follow Sky news during the day as well as feeds to my phone.
What I like about studying journalism in Gippsland
I like studying journalism at Gippsland because of the interactive way of learning and connection with other students and lecturers. The assignments and exams have been practical and beneficial for the 'real world'.
A journalist I admire
The journalist I admire the most is Sally Sara, the ABC's Asia correspondent. Sally compiles daily stories for radio, television and online and has a horrific job of reporting on the most terrible crimes and mass deaths that seem to fill our international quota of news. Sally is personable and approachable and carries herself with a smile.
I am passionate about
I am passionate about social justice and the truth. I believe journalists are only the conduit between the truth and the people and should allow news to flow from the people to the people.
I unwind by
I unwind by not stopping and keep working. I run my own production business, work as a journo, producer, theatre writer and director and have a young family. Unwinding comes at the end of the day with my wife and a nice Shiraz.
My favourite time of the day is
My favourite time of day is afternoon and evening, when the children come home from school and when they go to bed!
Two important people to me are
Two important people to me are my wife and my two girls. Okay that's three but I can't play favourites with my kids!
My strategy for survival at uni is
My strategy for survival at Uni is to make strong contacts with other students, they may just know something you need to know and vice versa. Reading the books is important but listening in class and taking notes is vital.
A news story to mark this month was
A news story to mark in the past four weeks was the man who was found stuck inside a ventilation shaft at Crown Casino Melbourne. He had wormed his way into the shaft but found himself stuck over the top of a kitchen fryer. It sounded like a George Clooney movie and cleverly the Herald Sun went with the headline "Ocean's One". (Herald Sun August 2, 2010)

The library website is your gateway to research at UC Berkeley.
It's often best to start your research by looking for books in the library catalogs. At Berkeley we have two different library catalogs. Oskicat is almost always the best place to start.
Use OskiCat to locate materials on the shelves of the UC Berkeley libraries and also to:
Use Melvyl to locate materials at other campuses in the UC system, or worldwide, and also to
Keep in mind that when you are searching a library catalog:
The library catalog was originally a card catalog such as those pictured below.The online catalog still doesn't contain much more information on a specific book than these index cards did in the past. For this reason you need to be persistent when searching the online catalog. Many important keywords might not appear in the catalog record for a particular book, so make sure you try different synonyms if you don't find any good results at first.

The following databases are recommended for finding scholarly journal articles related to literature, film and critical theory. There are hundreds of other article databases on different topics available on the library website, and you can browse them by different subjects.
To use library databases from off campus you have to set up the proxy server: this changes your browser settings.
Once you've used an article database to find articles on your topic, you may need to use this button: in order to locate and read the full text of the article.
UC-eLinks will link you to the online full text of an article if UCB has paid for online access; otherwise, UC-eLinks will help you locate a print copy on the shelf in the library. If UCB doesn't own the article in print or online format, UC-eLinks can also help you order a copy from another library.
For more information, watch this video tutorial (about 4 min.)
You can also set up UC-eLinks to work with Google Scholar. For more information, watch this video tutorial (about 2 min.)
The research process is part of the composition process. Don't be afraid to let your personal taste and inclinations guide the direction of your research. What are you interested in or passionate about? How can you find out more about those things? Many successful scholars research topics and documents which nobody had ever thought to explore, and tie them together with the strings of their own personal obsessions and thematic fixations.
It's also important, however, to Critically Analyze Information Sources (Cornell). Doing scholarly research (this is a paper for school, after all) requires different skills than those you've developed from years of online searching. Google and other search engines reward certain approaches that create false expectations and poor research results when you try to transfer those skills to library databases. Here are a few tips:

The 2013 Oscar season finally came to an end with the 85th Academy Awards. The major prizes of the night went to "Argo," which, as expected, won Best Picture, Ang Lee took Best Director, while Christoph Waltz, Anne Hathaway, Daniel Day-Lewis and Jennifer Lawrence won the acting prizes.
For the most part, the ceremony didn't have one last final shocker: many of the more high profile results had narrowed down enough that they could be guessed (there was more than one joke during the telecast about Anne Hathaway's expected win for Best Supporting Actress). But that didn't mean there weren't a few eyebrow-raising announcements, and a few films or people who were ultimately denied a prize that many thought they'd take. Below, we've run down the snubs, upsets and surprises of this year's Oscar ceremony. As always, share your thoughts below.
The love was spread pretty widely this year (four wins for "Life of Pi," three for "Argo" and "Les Miserables," two for "Lincoln" and "Skyfall,"), but the big surprise, to us at least, was "Django Unchained." The film even getting a Best Picture nomination wasn't deemed to be a sure thing, and with five nods, it was way behind most of the other big nominees. But there was more proof that you should never undervalue Harvey Weinstein, with the film coming away with two awards, in two of the more surprising wins of the night. It's not that no one had predicted them -- the categories were two of the tougher ones -- but most predicted that Best Supporting Actor was between Robert De Niro and Tommy Lee Jones, while Mark Boal and Michael Haneke were equally likely to take the Best Original Screenplay prize. It's a real indicator that, after "Inglourious Basterds," Tarantino is now a firm favorite of the Academy, and we wonder if 'Django' might have turned out to be closer to a best Picture win than most were anticipating.
Ok, so we did call this one. But even we were a little surprised when "Brave" took the award for Best Animated Feature; the Pixar film got better notices than predecessor "Cars 2," but not by much, and in a competitive (but unexceptional) category, had several close contenders, including two others from Disney. But ultimately, it was "Brave" that they liked the most, its BAFTA win two weeks ago showing the way to its vanquishing of "Frankenweenie," "Wreck-It Ralph," "ParaNorman" and "The Pirates!" It feels to us that an intimate story aimed principally at female audiences ultimately went down better with voters than it did with the animation geeks, but the victory still raised a lot of eyebrows, and ruined a lot of people's Oscar pools.
There have only been six ties in the history of Oscar -- the statistical chances of it occurring are slim enough that it's surprising that it's happened at all. The first was in 1932, when Frederic March and Wallace Beery came within a vote of each other (which at the time meant a tie was declared) for "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde" and "The Champ." Seventeen years later, "A Chance To Live" and "So Much For So Little" split the Best Documentary Short prize, while Katharine Hepburn and Barbara Streisand shared Best Actress in 1968 for 'The Lion In Winter" and "Funny Girl." In 1986, "Artie Shaw: Time Is All You've Got" and "Down And Out In America" both won Best Documentary, and the most recent until yesterday came in 1995, when "Franz Kafka's It's A Wonderful Life" (directed by "The Thick Of It" star Peter Capaldi) and "Trevor" tied for Best Live-Action Short. As such, it was definitely one of the big shocks of the show (even if it came for a small category, in Best Sound Editing) when "Skyfall" and "Zero Dark Thirty" came in a dead heat.
"Lincoln," The most nominated movie of them all, only took two prizes, but one of them was a surprise, coming in the shape of Best Production Design. The dusty detail of Rick Carter and Jim Erickson's work in the film was undeniably fine, but "Anna Karenina" was showier, and a BAFTA win had indicated that "Life Of Pi" could be in contention as well (also considering it did well last night in other other tech categories). So Carter and Erickson's prize certainly came as a surprise to us, as deserved as it was.

Of course Brave won, it was completely obvious. It was the safest movie to give an Oscar to. Nothing scary, like stop-motion or being in Black and White. Just simple and boring, the academy's favourite choice.
Bill | February 27, 2013 12:51 AM
Words which will not be spoken by Christoph Waltz any time soon: "I'm sorry Quentin, but I must decline your flattering offer. I've looked at the script, and this just doesn't feel like it's for me."
Kurskij | February 26, 2013 11:45 AM
While "life of pi" BP win would have been well deserved, it's not surprising "Argo" managed an upset. They had to acknowledge Affleck after the snub (even if Oscars don't technically work that way).
The fact that Lee won Best Director is a joy by itself.
He'll definitely have another shot at Best Picture. The man is wonderful even if he somewhat failed to give R+H wizards their due in his speech.
Miranda on the other hand... Sure, it's not easy to get this kind of consistency out of picture riddled with VFX, but Deakins outdid himself yet again on Skyfall.
My reaction after watching it was "Don't know what all the fuss is about, but it's a terrific looking picture".
11th should be a charm for Roger. He is outstanding.
John | February 26, 2013 9:37 AM
I still don't understand how Ang Lee won Best Director and how the film won best cinematography. It's almost entirely CGI. What did he do, exactly?
Milano | February 25, 2013 5:09 PM
Technically, "Crouching Tiger" (and Ang Lee) won best picture; it was just best foreign picture....
Johnny Ronny | February 25, 2013 2:46 PM
"There have only been six ties in the history of Oscar -- the statistical chances of it occurring are slim enough that it's surprising that it's happened at all."
That is just so very, very wrong. An incredibly unintelligent statement.
cirkusfolk | February 25, 2013 12:53 PM
Lets not forget the SNL factor. Harvey Weinstein had both Jen Lawrence and Cristolph Waltz host the variety show before Oscar ballots were turned in. Looks like it worked in their favor.
Elie | February 25, 2013 12:18 PM
With Sense and Sensibility, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain, and now Life of Pi, the Academy clearly loves Ang Lee a lot but not enough to ever give the poor man Best Picture.

1. "Plow the fields first," says Rabbi David Wechsler-Azen of Congregation Beth Shalom in Carmichael, California. Pre-Rosh Hashanah is the perfect time to start laying the groundwork. "On the High Holidays rabbis can introduce a specific middah (character trait) such as achrayut (responsibility), and then use it in sermons and articles," says co-spiritual leader Rabbi Nancy Wechsler-Azen. Also, remember, says Rabbi Helen Cohn of Congregation Chaverim in Tucson, Arizona, "most folks don't know what Mussar is. So speak from the bimah about it often." The Mussar Institute (www.mussarinstitute.org) can help you with this and most steps that follow.
2. Create an adult discussion/study program around this Focus section. Alan Morinis, founding director of The Mussar Institute, has created a Discussion/Study Guide to this material that will delve deeper into some of the issues raised in these articles, offer text study, and suggest practices each individual can do to increase awareness and taste some of the fruit of applying Mussar to his/her own life and relationships. Download a free copy of this Discussion/Study Guide.
Study and Discuss Mussar with RJ's Mussar Guide by Alan Morinis
3. Offer an adult education course—at the right time, and with a catchy title. Rabbi Nancy Wechsler-Azen engaged moms in a 10-week "Mussar for Moms" class course right after they dropped their children off at day school. Rabbi David Wechsler-Azen called his men-only course "Spiritual Growth for Guys: Mussar for Men." The name "makes it accessible," he says.
4. Teach character traits in religious school. Tell stories and distribute handouts to be taken home and discussed with parents, says Rabbi Nancy Wechsler-Azen. One she's used involves the middah of hit-cahyvute, or keeping commitments, with God's name as a witness: "Judaism tells us that when we make a promise, it needs to be a promise that we keep…even little things like following through on homework or setting the table." She emails her teachers a middah of the week along with a short lesson and concrete examples each Monday for use the following Sunday.
5. Promote Mussar through your bulletin and website. Besides advertising Mussar events, consider following in the "websteps" of one of Rabbi Cohn's congregants (at her former temple, Emanu-El in San Francisco), who developed a website featuring the middah of the week. Rabbi Cohn also advises sending temple members a brief teaching about the current middah and a weekly link to the site.
Leonard Felson is a writer based in Hartford, Connecticut.

Every 12 minutes, a child is born who will be diagnosed with autism. It's a developmental disorder that can affect a child's social and communication skills at an early age.
Understanding autism can be difficult and confusing. But imagine having to navigate those issues as your child grows up, but doesn't outgrow their challenges.
Those challenges are something Jennifer Thompson knows all too well. For Jennifer, cooking is a big part of her morning routine. But if you sit down and spend time with her, you'll realize the toughest part of that routine is not what goes on in the kitchen, but her ability to communicate.
Leslie Thompson, Jennifer's mom, says at an early age she knew her daughter had some differences.
"Her development was fine up until 2-years-old, she wasn't responding to her name or sounds," Leslie said.
When Jennifer started getting older, Leslie says she began to worry about her quality of life.
In this coming decade, 500,0000 young, autistic children will turn 21, the age at which federally mandated services stop being provided. Add to that a staggering 85 percent unemployment rate for young adults with autism and you can understand why many families are worried.
For many, the reality is that it will be tough road ahead.
Deborah Griffin and her son, Jonathan, know that reality all too well. Finding employment for an autistic adult unless you have connections is difficult, Deborah said.
Jonathan's only income is social security and the family has to wait two years just to get it.
There are currently 260,000 people on a waiting list for housing support. Those who are on social security get about $670 worth.

One is bewildered why the BJP-led NDA tried to disrupt the working of Indian parliament, and the media, both the print and the visual, were worked up during the last week of April on the issue of Lalu Yadav being chargesheeted in fodder scam while they did not seem bothered about stealing of people's money to the extent of more than Rs 800 crore by white-collar thieves, masquerading as entrepreneurs. A committee of Indian parliament recently submitted a detailed report on these thieves, their companies that have vanished and what the government should do. Strangely enough, so-called national newspapers have not found time to give any heed to this report, not to speak of writing editorials. So far as leading electronic media are concerned, no "Big Fight†has taken place nor have "We the People†been worried about this loot.
It all began in the 1970s when the government, seemingly, with good intentions announced income tax rebate for those investing in the IPO (initial public offer) of the newly floated joint stock companies. Taking advantage of this, a number of companies were set up and their initial public issues placed in the market. Gullible people were taken in. Companies gathered huge amounts from them by way of subscription, issued share certificates and then vanished into thin air. A number of them continued for some years gathering more money through debentures, company deposits and rights issues and then disappeared without leaving any trace.
One may very easily name any number of such companies, which did not even hold their first annual general body meeting of shareholders. Their whereabouts are unknown. One may recall the Sehgal Carbonless Paper that gathered huge sums from Delhi, after it was launched with great fanfare in the 1970s with advertisements on TV and newspapers. It was followed by Bagrian Shoes, Gangappa Paper, Wrapaid, Rama Fibres, Mayur Syntex, Sidha Syntex, Padma Paper, 5S, Multitech International, Modern group of companies, and so on. Later companies intending to set up plantations and holiday resorts appeared to reap rich harvest of money. It is said there have been no less than 400 such companies with their registered offices in Delhi alone.
It is strange that both the people and the government get agitated when the number of pickpockets goes up in the city and they start roaming about, carrying on their trade, but no such agitation was witnessed when such a large number of companies were registered without any investigation or preliminary questioning by the department of company affairs and the registrar of companies. Both the stock exchange and public sector banks, in fact, connived with them and facilitated loot by them. It is shocking that it took not years but several decades for the government to take cognizance of the situation and bring in SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) in order to curb this kind of white-collar pick pocketing. It needs to be noted that SEBI also has not been able to achieve much tangible success in this regard.
It is an open secret that when a company comes out with its IPO or rights issue, its promoters stuff the prospectus with all sorts of lies about the future of the company and try to create illusions. Thus they act as proverbial pied piper. It is too much to expect any kind of vigil on the part of media because they are bribed through huge advertisements and from politicians whose activities are sustained by them through liberal donations.
One may recollect how the present chief minister of U. P. sent Sanjay Dalmia to Rajya Sabha when Multitech International, a company promoted by him became traceless after it gathered huge amounts from gullible investors in its shares. For some time its signboard was seen hanging on a building in New Delhi South Extension, Part I, but it is not known where it migrated afterwards. Perhaps, the mighty CBI will find it difficult to trace it. Mulayam Singh and his advisers should have glanced through the bulky report of the Supreme Court judge Vivian Bose in the murky deals of Damia-Jains during Nehru's regime. Another example, the former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, while in office laid the foundation stone of a huge technology park, which was to be built by a company, promoted by two businessmen of Lucknow. The Unit Trust of India (UTI) handed over to them the US-64 funds. What happened afterwards is known to all. The investors in US-64 suffered and the goodwill of the UTI nose-dived. Strangely enough, nobody dared question why Vajpayee associated himself with the proposed venture without looking into its details including murky aspects. Obviously, ignorance cannot be an excuse.
During 1998-2000, the SEBI urged the Department of Company Affairs, not once but several times to identify such companies and take legal action but the Department ignored the repeated request with impunity. Prima facie one may say some sort of nexus of bureaucracy, politicians in power and white-collar thieves behind it. According to available information, 115 companies vanished overnight while first information report with the police has been registered against 92 companies. And that is the end of the matter. One may ask: what about the companies that decamped with people's money during 1972-1998? No answer is forthcoming. No political party has raised the matter with any kind of seriousness.
A well-known business commentator has made the following damning observation: "Every time investors get restive about the vanishing companies of 1990s, the government makes a feeble push to take the investigation into vanishing companies forward. Yet, a decade later, regulators have not managed to understand the core issues or successfully disgorge the wealth of a single industrialist picked up from banks or markets—even as another crop of companies are desperately seeking an opportunity to pick investors' pockets.â€
She goes on to point out: "In fact, investors are discovering that there is little they can do to bring shady promoters to book unless they change the laws that govern capital market related offences. The change ought to involve investigation and action under the Indian Penal Code without requiring investors be dragged through a long recovery process. And until courts hear class action suits and hand out exemplary punishments, the so-called action by government agencies is just a lot of noise with no results.â€
Even a casual observer may point out that there is no seriousness visible on the part of the SEBI to stop this kind of white-collar pick pocketing of investors' money, not to speak of bringing the guilty of such an offence in the past to justice. IPOs are even now being cleared only after some perfunctory examination. To cite an example, not long ago, SEBI cleared the IPO of a company called Shopper's Stop even though it had not cared to repay as much as Rs 46.2 crore owed to banks and other financial institutions. It was widely believed that these creditors would realise their money once the IPO was subscribed. Thus, the ultimate losers were to be public at large. In fact, it was believed that banks and other financial institutions were interested in the IPO to be cleared without delay and the public lured towards putting its earnings into it. Obviously, the banks and other financial institutions were to collude with the company.
The problem of vanishing companies has come to lime light, not as a result of any agitation by political parties, but owing to a PIL in Allahabad High Court. The petitioner, Virendra Jain, is of the view that there is no effective law to stop defrauding of the public. The only solution can emerge if the SEBI, the Finance Ministry, the Law Ministry and other concerned agencies and organisations sit together and frame a stringent legislation to stop this kind of white-collar thieving.

The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.

There isn't a lot of happiness over at SB Nation's Florida blog, Alligator Army, after this loss.
College basketball lends itself to these upsets, but they don't happen because the underdog is a better team. Florida fans thought that after two years, the garbage was thrown out, and these guys knew that the names on the jerseys guaranteed them nothing. Not so. As it is, we're all dumbfounded. And something's got to change quickly. Otherwise, these boys will get coal in their stockings and a third straight trip to the NIT.

UC-II (providing 10mg undenatured type II collagen), plus Hyaluronic Acid and Turmeric for additional joint relief.
One Small Capsule Once a Day:
Imagine FAST and Convenient Relief from Joint Discomfort
If you're suffering from joint discomfort then you're not alone. Millions of people around the world suddenly find it difficult to move around freely due to joint discomfort. This can seriously impact every part of your life... work... recreation... family... and more.
Treating joint discomfort is a constant challenge. Joint discomfort can come from numerous diseases and conditions. Diagnosing the cause is the first step. Treatment should be based on experience and sound science.
The goal is simple: help people maintain their mobility so they continue to enjoy life. Fortunately, the science of treating joint discomfort has changed dramatically in the last 10 years and several solutions have hit the market.
Fresh approaches and promising ingredients are important. Beneflex is a new dietary supplement that's especially exciting.
Studies have shown the ingredients in Beneflex can:
The ingredients in Beneflex are clinically proven to be more than twice as effective as high-quality glucosamine / chondroitin. Beneflex contains NO glucosamine/chondroitin and is a good alternative for people who are allergic to shellfish.
Introducing Beneflex, Fast & Powerful Joint Relief
Beneflex Joint Relief is an all-new premium dietary supplement that researchers in Cambridge, Massachusetts created to provide fast relief from joint discomfort. Beneflex includes:
This highly concentrated compound comes in a small, easy-to-swallow capsule taken once a day. Beneflex is natural and is manufactured to FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in the United States. Beneflex is safe and non-habit forming. There are no known side effects.
The company and researchers behind Beneflex have developed several highly successful dietary supplements. They are committed to high quality ingredients and helping people overcome major health issues - like joint discomfort.
NOTE: Beneflex DOES NOT contain glucosamine or chondroitin. If you have tried joint support supplements with these ingredients and been unhappy with the results, you should try Beneflex. Glucosamine contains shell fish.
Just ONE Small Capsule A Day...
Say Goodbye to Messy Powders and Giant Horse Pills
The Cambridge-based nutritional researchers at Beneflex understand that people prefer to take one small tablet instead of three huge "horse" pills. They also understand some people don't like powders. Making the most of the super-concentrated ingredients in Beneflex, the researchers packed the joint relief punch into one easy-to-swallow capsule.
Potent New Joint Support Ingredients for Maximum Relief FAST
Studies have shown the premium ingredients in Beneflex are extremely promising when it comes to providing relief from joint discomfort.
The ingredients in Beneflex are safe, natural, non habit-forming, and drug-free.
The Science and Safety Behind Beneflex:
AprèsFlex is a powerful version of Boswellia Serrata extract. Specifically, AprèsFlex comes from Boswellia Serrata gum resin and a patent is currently pending for this extract. A 2010 study indicated that AprèsFlex is non-toxic and safe. (Krishnaraju, et. al.).
A 2010 study at the University of California Davis School of Medicine and the Sacramento VA Medical Center, indicated that Boswellia Serrata helped participants in a study with osteoarthritis of the knee (Segesta, Raychaudhuri, et. al.).
In a clinical study, AprèsFlex proved significantly more effective at fighting joint discomfort than 5-Loxin, another Boswellia Serrata-based extract (Vishal et al). Most importantly, participants reported significant improvements in as little as 7 days after taking AprèsFlex.
The science clearly indicates that Boswellia Serrata and AprèsFlex can provide significant and fast relief from joint discomfort. AprèsFlex can also improve physical ability and quality of life if you're suffering from poor joint support. One capsule of Beneflex provides 100mg of AprèsFlex.
HYALURONIC ACID is naturally present in the human body- primarily in the eyes and joints. Medical professionals have recommended Hyaluronic Acid for a wide range of joint issues.
The Mayo Clinic website states: "Hyaluronic Acid is similar to a substance that occurs naturally in the joints. It works by acting like a lubricant and shock absorber in the joints and helps the joints to work properly... molecules of hyaluronan tend to form into protective mesh-like structures around cells, and it is this structure that gives connective tissue rigidity, viscosity and elasticity."
Hyaluronic Acid is important for healthy skin and is part of natural skin 'repair.' For example, if you get sunburned, the amount of Hyaluronic Acid decreases due to excessive exposure to UVB rays. To recover, the body increases the amount of Hyaluronic Acid in the skin.
Certain clinical studies have indicated that people suffering from joint discomfort can benefit from oral doses of Hyaluronic Acid.
One capsule of Beneflex provides 5mg of Hyaluronic Acid 90%.
UC-II is perhaps the most exciting development in joint discomfort nutrition in a decade. Produced in the United States, UC-II is an all-natural patented collagen. It's made using a patented, non-enzymatic manufacturing process, UC-II is undenatured and can be more than twice as effective as glucosamine and chondroitin. Everyone suffering from joint discomfort should try Beneflex - because it contains high levels of UC-II. This exciting nutritional development can help people who are looking for increased joint comfort, mobility, and flexibility.
GRAS, one of the leading toxicology groups, has determined the safety of UC-II and the FDA has recognized UC-II as a New Dietary Ingredient (NDI).
Denatured Collagen is available in some dietary supplements; this means the collagen has been made less effective through chemical or high-temperature processing which alters the molecular structure and renders it impotent. The undenatured collagen in UC-II can be more powerful and provide faster relief from joint discomfort - with a smaller dose.
In tests, 40 mg of UC-II was more than twice as effective as 1,500 mg of glucosamine and 1,200 mg of chondroitin in promoting joint health. In a North American randomized, double-blind clinical study conducted on 52 people with osteoarthritis of the knee, UC-II significantly decreased joint discomfort and increased mobility compared to baseline. UC-II also outperformed the glucosamine/chondroitin combination based on three different assessment tools: WOMAC, VAS and the Lequesne functional index.
A human pilot study showed that five female subjects taking 40 mg of UC-II for 42 days had a significant reduction in joint discomfort.
UC-II is all-natural. UC-II is the only patented form of undenatured type II collagen available as a nutritional ingredient. The Burdock Group, an independent leading toxicology group, reviewed UC-II safety. The expert panel of toxicologists concluded that UC-II is safe for human consumption and is generally recognized as safe.

A prominent e-commerce figure tells how to figure out your mobile revenue.
I had a chat yesterday with a prominent figure in web retailing, Scot Wingo, president and CEO of ChannelAdvisor Corp. Talk turned to m-commerce, and he offered a thought-provoking tidbit I just had to share.
"If 5% of your traffic is coming from mobile devices and not generating orders," he says, "apply your normal conversion rate and that will give you the size of the opportunity you have today if you build a viable mobile store."
OK, you don't have a mobile-optimized site, and 5% of your traffic is bouncing—bouncing to some other retailer that does have a mobile site that enables these shoppers to buy then and there. Let's be conservative. Say your average ticket is $100, the industry average according to Forrester Research Inc. Say your conversion rate is 3%, the industry average according to Forrester. And your monthly unique visitors tally is 500,000—a modest number among Internet Retailer Top 500 e-retailers. 5% (the percent of traffic coming from mobile devices) of 500,000 is 25,000. 3% (the conversion rate) of 25,000 is 750. 100 (the average order value) times 750 is 75,000.
You're losing $900,000 a year by not offering mobile device users an m-commerce site. And the percent of traffic from mobile devices is only going to increase—substantially.
Is this a no-brainer, or is it just me?
