Curiosity Resumes Science Investigations
NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has resumed science investigations after recovery from a computer glitch that prompted the engineers to switch the rover to a redundant main computer on Feb. 28. The rover has been monitoring the weather since March 21 and delivered a new portion of powdered-rock sample for laboratory analysis on March 23, among other activities.

LADEE Project Manager Update: Thermal-Vacuum Testing
Engineers at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif., are about to begin the Thermal-Vacuum (TVAC) phase of environmental testing on NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) Observatory. During the TVAC environmental testing phase, LADEE will undergo a variety of rigorous tests that simulate the full range of extreme temperatures and vacuum the spacecraft will experience during the course of its mission.

Apollo Moon Rocket Engine Recovered
After lying on the ocean floor for more than 40 years, two Apollo rocket engines that helped deliver astronauts to the Moon are once again seeing the light of day. A team organized by Jeff Bezos spent three weeks fishing at sea to recover the corroded F-1 engines, which sat more than 4 kilometers below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. Bezos does not yet know precisely which Apollo mission the engines flew on as the original serial numbers on the objects are missing. He is hoping they are the Apollo 11 engines that brought the first men to the Moon.

Sun in the Way Will Affect Mars Missions in April
The positions of the planets next month will mean diminished communications between Earth and NASA's spacecraft at Mars. Mars will be passing almost directly behind the sun, from Earth's perspective. The sun can easily disrupt radio transmissions between the two planets during that near-alignment. To prevent an impaired command from reaching an orbiter or rover, mission controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., are preparing to suspend sending any commands to spacecraft at Mars for weeks in April. Transmissions from Mars to Earth will also be reduced.

Curiosity Rover Exits 'Safe Mode'
NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has returned to active status and is on track to resume science investigations, following two days in a precautionary standby status, "safe mode." Next steps will include checking the rover's active computer, the B-side computer, by commanding a preliminary free-space move of the arm. The B-side computer was provided information last week about the position of the robotic arm, which was last moved by the redundant A-side computer. The rover was switched from the A-side to the B-side by engineers on Feb. 28 in response to a memory glitch on the A-side. The A-side now is available as a back-up if needed.

NASA's LRO Sees GRAIL's Explosive Farewell
Many spacecraft just fade away, drifting silently through space after their mission is over, but not GRAIL. NASA's twin GRAIL (Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory) spacecraft went out in a blaze of glory Dec. 17, 2012, when they were intentionally crashed into a mountain near the moon's north pole. The successful mission to study the moon's interior took the plunge to get one last bit of science: by kicking up a cloud of dust and gas with each impact, researchers hoped to discover more about the moon's composition. However, with the moon about 380,000 kilometers (over 236,000 miles) away from Earth, the impact plumes would be difficult to observe from here.

Panorama From NASA Mars Rover Shows Mount Sharp
Rising above the present location of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity, higher than any mountain in the 48 contiguous states of the United States, Mount Sharp is featured in new imagery from the rover. A pair of mosaics assembled from dozens of telephoto images shows Mount Sharp in dramatic detail. This layered mound, also called Aeolis Mons, in the center of Gale Crater rises more than 3 miles (5 kilometers) above the crater floor location of Curiosity. Lower slopes of Mount Sharp remain a destination for the mission, though the rover will first spend many more weeks around a location called "Yellowknife Bay," where it has found evidence of a past environment favorable for microbial life.

Curiosity Rover's Recovery on Track
NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has transitioned from precautionary "safe mode" to active status on the path of recovery from a memory glitch last week. Resumption of full operations is anticipated by next week.
28 Feb 2013
Computer Swap on Curiosity Rover
The ground team for NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has switched the rover to a redundant onboard computer in response to a memory issue on the computer that had been active. The intentional swap at about 2:30 a.m. PST on Feb. 28 put the rover, as anticipated, into a minimal-activity precautionary status called "safe mode." The team is shifting the rover from safe mode to operational status over the next few days and is troubleshooting the condition that affected operations yesterday. The condition is related to a glitch in flash memory linked to the other, now-inactive, computer.

NASA Rover Confirms First Drilled Mars Rock Sample
NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has relayed new images that confirm it has successfully obtained the first sample ever collected from the interior of a rock on another planet. No rover has ever drilled into a rock beyond Earth and collected a sample from its interior. Transfer of the powdered-rock sample into an open scoop was visible for the first time in images received Wednesday at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA.

NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft is assembled and is undergoing environmental testing at Lockheed Martin Space Systems facilities, near Denver, Colo. MAVEN is the next mission to Mars and will be the first mission devoted to understanding the Martian upper atmosphere. During the environmental testing phase, the orbiter will undergo a variety of rigorous tests that simulate the extreme temperatures, vacuum and vibration the spacecraft will experience during the course of its mission.

NASA Curiosity Rover Collects First Martian Bedrock Sample
NASA's Curiosity rover has, for the first time, used a drill carried at the end of its robotic arm to bore into a flat, veiny rock on Mars and collect a sample from its interior. This is the first time any robot has drilled into a rock to collect a sample on Mars. The fresh hole, about 0.63 inch (1.6 centimeters) wide and 2.5 inches (6.4 centimeters) deep in a patch of fine-grained sedimentary bedrock, can be seen in images and other data Curiosity beamed to Earth Saturday. The rock is believed to hold evidence about long-gone wet environments. In pursuit of that evidence, the rover will use its laboratory instruments to analyze rock powder collected by the drill.
7 Feb 2013
Preparatory Drill Test Performed on Mars
The drill on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity used both percussion and rotation to bore about 0.8 inch (2 centimeters) into a rock on Mars and generate cuttings for evaluation in advance of the rover's first sample-collection drilling. Completion of this "mini drill" test in preparation for full drilling was confirmed in data from Mars received late Wednesday at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. If the drill cuttings on the ground around the fresh hole pass visual evaluation as suitable for processing by the rover's sample handling mechanisms, the rover team plans to proceed with commanding the first full drilling in coming days.

Patch likes to poll its readers and others to learn opinion around town and that is how we arrived at Wild Fish's Deerfield Roll as this week's North Shore Foodie Find.
The handmade Sushi roll is created with spicy mini lobster, black rice, white rice, super white tuna, cucumber and avocado before it is wrapped in a soybean sheet and topped with wasabi mayo.
All the ingredients are there but each roll looks a little different displaying the elaborate work required to create Sushi.
"It depends on the chef," owner James Oh said of the final product. "We have (edible) soy bean paper on the outside. One side is black rice and one side is white rice," he added accounting for the slightly different look but identical taste.
The chef's intricate skill is exceeded by the blended taste of the ingredients with enough spice to warm your mouth but nothing the rice will not temper. The $16 dish is enough for a meal and well suited to share coming with six individual rolls. The restaurant is in its sixth year in Deerfield.
Before we settled on this tasty combination with a little spice and a lot of good taste, we decided to take a poll. So before Monday's meeting of the Village Board, I approached Mayor Harriet Rosenthal and some of the trustees with the question about what I should highlight.
"Bobby's smoked salmon pastrami on the potato pancakes," Trustee Mary Oppenheim said. "I have it every time I'm there."
Trustee Barbara Struthers suggested a delicacy from the Italian Kitchen. "Mary Sciaretta's tortelallaci," she said.
"What about Kevin's French Toast?" Trustee William Seiden said. "It's unique."
The next day Rosenthal mentioned the Deerfield Roll at Wild Fish. I had tried the others and they are all excellent so the Deerfield Roll became the choice.

Superbowl Sunday is the biggest house party day of the year and for some, like a holiday in itself. That means a big boost for some local businesses. From the food to big screens, for some football fans, no expense is spared. Superbowl Sunday is only after Thanksgiving for food consumption and local grocery stores tell us that's why it's one of their busiest times of the year. Local home theatre stores and TV repair shops say they also see an uptick in sales because football fans want a clear picture to go along with those snacks.
"We buy chips and dip, chips and salsa, some things to put on the pizza pizzazz like mozzarella sticks and pizza rolls, pop," Shopper Erika Diercks said.
The staples of superbowl food are beginning to fill up local grocery carts. Managers at the Moline Hy-Vee say it is only the beginning.
"We'll have a big rush on Saturday and early morning Sunday we will get really busy in here," said Tim Housby, Store Operations Manager.
He says people will spend anywhere from $20 to $220, depending on the size of their party. For some of those football fans that will be on top of their new TV or home theater system.
"Men will say anything to get a television I guess," said Duane Randleman, Sales and Design Rep for Automated Lifestyles.
He says while people usually have more than one reason for buying a TV, the superbowl is an excuse he's heard a lot recently.
"Certainly they say it and its one of the excuses to do it."
He says the superbowl, along with the cold weather, helps boost business 15 to 20 percent. Those who debut their new home theatre systems on Sunday often act as free advertising as well, bringing in business even after the big game.
"Of course all their friends come over and they see what has been done with the house and then it spreads and expands from there."
Workers at Action TV, a repair shop, tells us they have been very busy as well. They say many people who have projectors have been ordering new lamps, to be sure they don't go out during the game.

Contract Scam
Posted by
ROUND ROCK, TEXAS -- Buyer beware! This company has you sign a 2 year contract and then without your knowledge there is a yearly automatic renewal. You are required to provide them in writing 60 days before the unauthorized automatic renewal goes into effect, to cancel, otherwise you have to pay another years worth of service that you may not even be using. I have been with this company for three years and tried to cancel, they told me sorry you can not cancel and you have to continue paying your monthly fee or you can buyout your contract (which has already expired) for half the cost of the one year monthly fees. I wonder what would happened if you did not pay.

From their web site, clearly stated is what the conditions are. Kind of simple. If you do not pay them, I would imagine it would be turned over to a collection agency, sorry and good luck.
"The initial term of this agreement shall be 3 years, commencing on the date product is delivered to Customer. Agreement will automatically continue for successive one-year renewal terms, as allowed by law, unless PAI receives a written notice of cancellation from customer via U.S. Mail or overnight mail postmarked at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the initial term or any subsequent renewal term. Customer may be required to show proof of delivery."
tnchuck100 on 2010-09-29:
Yup, jkt, it's pretty clear. They are absolutely lining the unsuspecting customer to trip and fall. They have there bases covered. Sleazy but legal.
What does the picture have to do with the review?
Starlord on 2010-09-29:
Read the contract. You will find the clause that contains the appropriate legalesestating what you have said. You were not hit with this by surprise, you did not read the contract. If that picture is you, thank you for your service.

Protect America provide anything BUT a sense of security
Posted by
ROUND ROCK,, TEXAS -- I also had a security monitoring contract with Protect America, and I completely agree that they are scam artists. During the term of my contract, I had one false alarm after another due to faulty equipment. One time the police came sneaking around to my back yard. My son and I were outside working on the pool. The officer told me they had received a silent alarm triggered by the panic button. I explained that this was impossible because no one was home but the two of us and we had been outside the whole morning. Every time our local police respond to a false alarm it costs the homeowner $50 regardless of whether it if faulty equipment or human error. I called Protect America and told them I did not wish to renew my contract which was about to expire. The agent told me I had to cancel in writing 60 days prior to the end of the contract and since time was now, I should cancel via email right away. I did as instructed, and proceeded to ride out the last two months of my contract. The company even acknowledged my cancellation via email reply.
The few months that followed my cancellation date I noticed that I was still being charged the monthly rate which was being deducted from my checking account. I called them up immediately and they proceeded to tell me that my cancellation wouldn't be effective for another year because they received my cancellation one day too late. I explained I spoke with an agent who told me to cancel via email and they said it did not matter. I was locked into paying for the service for another year. I told them the equipment was defective and they graciously offered to send me a new system but I would be locked into another 2-3 years. So, for a whole year more, I was forced to pay for a service that was not even hooked up. This company does not deserve a positive rating with the Better Business Bureau.

If you had taken them to court you would have a fairly good chance of winning. Companies like this will intimidate a customer with all sorts of shady claims to extort money from you. You let them win too easily.
Lesson here is NEVER give any company direct access to you checking account. As you found out they consider it their "watering hole" for as long as they possibly can.

Service Cancellation Scam!
Posted by
RHODE ISLAND -- This company has a nice scam going! They offer you equipment at no charge, if you agree to a 3 year contract. The salesperson tells you that you can cancel after 3 years, and the equipment is yours. I've been a loyal customer of Protect America for over 5 years.
When you agree to the contractual obligation, there is no mention of a renewal clause, which is automatic and clandestine, for 1 year periods at a time at the end of the initial 3 year contract. To cancel this service you must send in writing or email a cancellation at least 60 days before the contract expires. If you cancel 59 days before the expiration, they tell you that you are responsible and will be billed for another year. Keep in mind that you must be able to prove to them that they received a written cancellation note, which means a certified letter or the like.
THIS IS A TRUE SCAM. I really think the company is not in the alarm monitoring business as much as it is in the extortion business. I really feel sorry for the senior citizens who want alarms in their houses, and may be shammed by Protect America.
The fact that this company, who uses our great nations name in its own, would bully honest hard working people into paying for their service sighting a small clause that they didn't initially discuss and after the initial 3 year contractual commitment is met, is truly appalling! Especially when you consider the dire economical situation this country is in with hundreds of families losing their income and homes every day.
This type of auto-renewal policy has been deemed illegal in many states like New York (see ADT's settlement with its NY contract holder), and it is only a matter of time until other states adopt similar policies.

Protect America - Consumer Beware
Posted by
CINCINNATI, OHIO -- This company has a nice little scam going--they offer you equipment at no charge, and you agree to a 2 year contract. The salesperson tells you that you can cancel after 2 years, and the equipment is yours. Please note, Protect America puts a code in the GE system deeming the system worthless should you go to another provider. They don't tell you this.
In addition, there is no mention of a renewal clause, which is automatic and clandestine, for 2 year periods at a time. To cancel this service you must send in writing a cancellation 60 days before the contract expires. If you cancel 59 days before the expiration, they tell you that you are responsible for another 1 or 2 years. Keep in mind, that you must be able to prove to them that they received a written cancellation note, which means a certified letter or the like.
To make matters worst, they coerce you into automatic withdrawal from a credit card or checking account, and they refuse to stop debiting this account, even after you revoke authorization. The only way to stop the withdrawals is to close the bank account or credit card account. Keep in mind that this type of auto-renewal policy has been deemed illegal in many states like New York (see ADT's settlement with its NY contract holder), and it is only a matter of time until other states adopt similar policies.
THIS IS A TRUE SCAM. I really think the company is not in the alarm monitoring business as much as it is in the extortion business. I encourage consumers to do their research online. There are countless others that have fallen victim to this company.

Poor Customer Service From Protect America
Posted by
Protect America, Inc.
5100 North 1H-35 Suite B
Round Rock, TX 78681
This has been the absolute worst customer service experience that I have ever experienced with a company in my life. Each contact with your company was more frustrating that the previous one:
1. The incompetence of the handing of the break-in of my home in October 2005. (Your inexperienced operators sent the police to the wrong address)
Consequently my home was robbed and I lost $1000's of dollars in damages and stolen items
2. The system has never worked since October 2005
3. Repeated contacts with your customer service department only compounded the problems.
a. They replaced equipment that was complicated and I could never activate
b. When I was told the equipment was malfunctioning and didn't work for weeks I was told I could not be compensated
c. The order to replace the equipment was misplaced and no one knew why and I couldn't be compensated
d. I asked for the name of the "President" of the company and I was told that he didn't' know his name.
I was told after my stolen credit card was cancelled that I could not pay by check and was verbally abused and screamed at by your customer service rep because I wanted to pay by check.
There has not been one positive aspect of your service or the poor quality of the functionality of the product that you provided.
This truly has been a horrific experience and I hope no one else has to experience the poor inept service that I have received for the past three years. As a senior citizen on a fixed income I have given you $24.95 a month for three years for absolutely nothing but frustration, inoperable equipment but most inexcusable has been the "CARE-LESS" attitude and poor customer service.
One Very Unsatisfied Customer,

Wow, with a name like Protect America, I would think that they have installed sensors across the entire border and you would have to disarm a keypad at the border to be able to get in to the country without setting off the alarm. There is a flaw in the system however as the mexicans got the code somehow.
Simbabe54 on 2008-06-11:
I would strongly suggest you contact an attorney,I think you might need one at this point.Good luck and I hope things work out for you!
Anonymous on 2008-06-11:
There is old case law related to burglar alarms which says, the seller and/or manufacturer is not responsible for consequential damages/losses if the alarm does not avert a burglary. Not much incentive for alarm companies to improve services.

Protect America has made my life a lot less stressful!
Posted by
DETROIT, ILLINOIS -- Protect America has made my life a lot less stressful! I am a mother to 4 children (all under 10 years old). Last month, we had a break-in and it was the most horrifying thing I have ever experienced. My husband is an accountant and was working late the night it happened. Around 2am I heard the downstairs window smash and the front door open. I was so scared! The robbers managed to grab our TV and half the sound system before they noticed me dialing the police. One of them came over and threw me on the floor and pulled our phone out of the wall! I thought they were going to kill my children, but luckily they ran out after that. My husband and I called around to a few security companies and found that Protect America not only offered a free system, but they also had the lowest monitoring rate. We've had it for about 2 weeks now, and there have been no problems. I feel so much safer! While we were trying to find a system, I couldn't even walk to the washroom in the middle of the night.
Now that we have a system, I KNOW there is no one in my house except my family. Protect America was very helpful in getting us set up with the equipment we needed.

I can identify with your post, but I must tell you that alarm systems and 911 provide a false sense of security. We have a saying in the community I am part of, "When seconds count - 911 - the police are just minutes away." The courts have already decided that the police have a general duty to provide protection for the community, not the individual. Then you hear the horror stories about 911 calls that take an hour or more to send anyone. As American citizens, we have something that our Founding Fathers gave us that many men and women have died defending. The greatest gift they could have left us, the Second Amendment to the Constitution. You have an absolute right to defend yourself, and the best way to do that is to be armed and trained to protect yourself and your loved ones. I have heard all the nervous nellies crying about how they are afraid of guns, blah, blah, blah. But it remains true as ever, No one ever raped a .38.
I just noticed you are from the People's Republic of Illinois, home of the first non-citizen to be elected president. Your legislators would rather see you raped or murdered than protect and defend the Constitution as they are sworn to do.
jktshff1 on 2008-12-28:
Great reply Starlord!! The police (and I admire them for what they do and put up with) are no more than investigators. Starlord's right when he said it's up to you and yours to protect yourself.
9 out of 10 times, when the alarm goes off at our business, we get there before the LEO's do.

Pay for no service
Posted by
MAINE -- First the company states there is no contract and when you lose your job and phone service they say there is a contract and you must pay even though there is no possible way for them to give you the service they are charging you for. They swear at you and call you names and are just plain rude. Don't use this company!

SOURCE Research and Markets
DUBLIN, June 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/tqsx3m/eubiotics_market) has announced the addition of the "Eubiotics Market by Type, Livestock & Geography - Global Trends & Forecasts to 2019" report to their offering.
The eubiotics market in feed has been growing at a steady rate in the last few years. The ban in the U.S. and Europe on the use of antibiotics as growth promoters is fuelling the eubiotic market. Eubiotics are considered good for the gut health of the digestive tract in animals and are also a good substitute to antibiotics in feed. The market is not only growing in the U.S. and Europe, it is also growing in developing economies such as China, India, and Brazil.
In connection with the global demand for safe human food and the production of eco-friendly aqua culture products, acidifiers are the natural organic acids and salts that have received considerable attention as animal feed additives. Research has indicated the promising potential of acidifiers in fish diets and provides enough evidence to encourage aqua feed manufacturers to consider using such additives. The dietary inclusion of organic acids has a eubiotic effect on the proliferation of indigenous lactic acid bacteria, which play a prominent role in the activation of the immune response against diseases.
Poultry feed dominates the eubiotic market owing mainly to the large number of population consuming poultry meat in the world. Swine feed is growing at the highest CAGR from 2014 to 2019, owing mainly to the high demand of pork. By geography, Europe dominated the eubiotics market followed by North America.
The eubiotics market has been the major beneficiary in the latest trend of increasing the number of bans on the usage of growth-promoting antibiotics in animals. The prohibitions on antibiotics have led to the increasing use of probiotics, prebiotics, essential oils, and organic acids as alternatives, in the major parts of the world.
In 2006, the European Union was the first to impose a ban on usage of antibiotics, for promoting growth in animals. Eubiotic help to regulate the microbial flora within the livestock and also play an important role in their health and well-being by maintaining the required balance of eubiosis in the gastrointestinal tract. A balanced eubiosis also improves the nutrient absorption in the livestock.

Excerpts from recent editorials in newspapers in the United States and abroad:
March 24
Loveland (Colo.) Daily Reporter-Herald on the rule of law and Staff Sgt. Robert Bales:
If there's a single outcome that will show that the United States succeeded in its military mission to Afghanistan, it will be that the rule of law has been established. ...
In the 10 years since Americans have been there, we've had victories -- as well as horrific setbacks.
One of those setbacks could, if not handled properly, jeopardize the progress of the entire past decade.
On March 11, nine Afghan children and eight adults, all civilians, were shot in cold blood in their homes near an army base housing U.S. soldiers. One of them, Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, has been accused of pulling the trigger.
Since his arrest, Bales has been spirited away from the country where the crime occurred and jailed at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He was charged with 17 counts of murder, and if he is convicted, he might face the death penalty. He also faces many other charges ...
However, the process will continue through the military court system, which could mean less transparency for those who need to see the rule of law in action the most: the Afghan public.
At almost every turn, the military has worked to restrict the flow of information about the case, which is too bad. It would be easy to imagine the reaction if a foreign national had been accused of similar crimes on American soil and then moved to his or her home country for trial. The outrage would be incredible.
The Army must ensure open and accessible justice in this case ... To do otherwise could undermine the entire reason for our presence in Afghanistan.

Houston Chronicle on domestic natural gas:
To drill or not to drill, Baby?
That is the question that is launching a thousand heated partisan debates early in this presidential campaign season.
Is drilling merely a catchy slogan, as President Barack Obama has suggested in recent campaign speeches? Or is it an important piece of a national policy with the potential to lead us to energy independence and, eventually, to a sustainable energy future? We have argued consistently and strenuously that it is the latter. ...
This situation provides an enormous opportunity, if only our leaders, Democratic and Republican together, will see it and act decisively. That opportunity is to dramatically expand the domestic market for natural gas.
Doing so would also answer the president's protestations that more drilling won't change high gasoline prices at the pump. Yes, that is true...
But not so much if our fuel of choice, for transportation in particular, becomes natural gas. ...
We'll grant that this is not an instant fix. But over the intermediate and long term, shifting our fleet vehicles, our 18-wheelers, even our diesel-powered freight locomotives to run on natural gas, will pay dividends of price stability.
If Obama is serious about an "all of the above" energy policy, and we hope he is, greatly expanding the use of natural gas as a transportation fuel is the obvious place to start. ...

San Francisco Chronicle on the Trayvon Martin case:
This country should be outraged by the killing of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old black youth shot by a self-appointed neighborhood crime watcher. Racial profiling, a tepid police inquiry and a gun-happy self-defense law play into angry protests that have drawn in even President Barack Obama.
Getting to the bottom of the event won't be easy. That's why outside investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI and the state of Florida make sense. These inquires won't -- and shouldn't -- stop public rallies and marches that have the salutary effect of keeping up the pressure for answers. ...
The racial overtone is unmistakable, an element that all Americans should ponder. Would Martin have attracted attention if he were a white kid? Does a natural concern for neighborhood security automatically mean all black youths are suspects? ..
One unusual feature is a Florida self-defense law, also on the books in some 20 other states, though not California. The so-called "Stand Your Ground" statute gives a citizen the right to lethal self-defense even if the confrontation is avoidable, as the Martin run-in may have been. ...
The Martin case has put on display some of this country's rawest divides over race and crime. It will be the job of investigators to provide answers that may cool the public's anger, if it isn't too late already.

The Boston Herald on the Republican budget plan:
Months ago many in his party were clamoring for Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to jump into the presidential race. But he knew that the job he already had as chairman of the House Budget Committee was just as critical to the nation's future.
He once again stepped into that deepening leadership gap in Washington, D.C., the one left wide open by a president who apparently wants to turn us into Greece. And in doing so Ryan proved he has the courage and the intellectual firepower to lead the Congress and the nation to a better place.
At the heart of the new Republican budget plan is an effort to simplify the tax code for individuals ...and close some loopholes -- all aimed at growing the economy. No talk of class warfare here, just an effort to reduce the deficit with some sensible spending discipline.
And instead of growing the national debt as a share of gross domestic product (it currently consumes about 73 percent of the economy), gradually reducing that by about 15 percent over the next 10 years.
The Ryan plan also tackles that third rail of American politics -- Medicare. ...
While Democrats no doubt can't wait to run yet another commercial of a Ryan look-alike throwing some senior citizen off a cliff, the truth is that the only way to save Medicare is to change it. But courage is at a premium on Capitol Hill this year and Ryan's plan will likely languish. But that doesn't mean it isn't the right path.
March 26
The Seattle Times on sex-trafficking legislation:
Helping victims of human trafficking, some who have suffered rape and forced prostitution, put their lives back together requires providing them with a full range of reproductive services, including contraception and abortion.
That guidance ought to help move a U.S. Senate bill reauthorizing the Trafficking Victims Protection Act passed by the Judiciary Committee last fall but stalled since by political wrangling over reproductive rights in the House. The $130 million appropriation is smaller than previous spending levels, but it toughens enforcement and increases funding for victim assistance.
The Senate bill is a good one. It is far better than the effort in the House where misguided Republican modifications make it untenable. The House bill, for example, shifts financing for victims' services to the Justice Department from the Department of Health and Human Services. The latter agency is being punished by conservative Republicans for rejecting a $2.5 million grant request from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops; the conference wants the money but refuses to refer trafficking victims to abortion providers and family planning services or make other reasonable accommodations.
Partnerships with a broad coalition of faith-based organizations, law enforcement and nonprofits are an integral part of fighting human trafficking and slavery. But victims need a level of service ... Congress must move swiftly on the Senate bill.
March 23
The Knoxville (Tenn.) News Sentinel on job applicant privacy:
It has become fairly standard for employers to view the social media sites of prospective workers in order to learn more about them.
A recent Associated Press report, however, detailed a new and disturbing trend of employers actually asking job-seekers to surrender their Facebook login and password information. The employers then spend time scouring the page for whatever intelligence they can gather. Some employers demand that new hires "friend" them on Facebook or allow them to follow Twitter accounts.
This is an outrageous invasion of privacy with no justification for the vast majority of occupations.
The line between private lives and public personas often gets blurred online, but the line exists. Facebook users have the option to keep most, if not all, messages, photos and other elements private, accessible only by those chosen by the users. Those communications are private. An employer has no more right to see them than to enter a person's house and rummage through the dresser. ...
There might be instances when it is appropriate for employers to monitor social networking sites of their workers -- if, for example, security clearances are required. But the vast majority of employers have no legitimate reason to invade the private lives of workers.
Job-seekers are finding themselves forced to choose between employment and privacy. It is a choice they shouldn't have to make.
At a time when unemployment is high and just about any job is better than no job at all, employers hold the upper hand. They should not abuse this power. Employers should respect the privacy of prospective employees and stop demanding access to Internet accounts that are otherwise off limits to the public.
March 23
Herald-Dispatch, Huntington, W.Va., on fluctuating gas prices:
One of the frustrations of our four-year economic slowdown is that just when things begin to look a little brighter, gas prices go up.
That "pain at the pump" affects almost every one, and in turn, slows down recovery for many businesses as well.
Moreover, these days we are seeing a greater discrepancy in the cost of fuel in different parts of the country. ...
AAA reports the average price for regular unleaded in Huntington, W.Va., at $3.94 per gallon. It was about the same in Ashland and Ironton.
Yet, in Wyoming, the average was $3.45.
While no one claims to completely understand the fluctuations in the cost of fuel, at least part of the issue today seems to be distribution.
Abundant oil supplies in North Dakota and Canada have helped keep prices down in that region... Meanwhile, pipeline construction has not kept pace, and that shortage slows delivery of crude to various refineries in areas around the country.
The West Coast markets continue to have the highest prices, with California at $4.35. But states in the Midwest -- West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin -- are all above the national average, too.
Pipeline construction that could help is still two or three years from completion, and some of that is being challenged on environmental concerns. Meanwhile, we will pay a little more.
March 23
Wisconsin State Journal, Madison, on small business assistance:
Washington actually got something done.
Our nation's capital -- usually the land of gridlock -- agreed to a package of bills designed to encourage private investment in small businesses.
The Democratic-run Senate approved what's been dubbed the "JOBS Act" on a bipartisan 73-26 vote, with both Wisconsin U.S. Sens. Herb Kohl and Ron Johnson supportive.
Leaders in the Republican-run House of Representatives quickly indicated they would accept a Senate change to the bill seeking more protection for investors.
Democratic President Barack Obama said he would sign the legislation.
The "Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act" will make it easier for certain entrepreneurs across the country to raise money for their business ideas from lots of small-dollar investors. Among other provisions, it also will ease the red tape on small businesses seeking to offer lower amounts of stock to the public.
The JOBS Act is not a quick fix for the slowly recovering economy. Its incentives will take time to help small businesses grow. ...
Nonetheless, Washington is recognizing that the world of business is changing, in part because of the Internet. And many mom-and-pop operations with innovative ideas could benefit considerably from the wider equity options.
Raising small-dollar amounts from lots of investors is known as "crowdfunding." It comes with inherent risks for investors and recipients.
That's why more protections were added to the bill.
Small businesses and startups needs more access to capital to grow and create jobs.
The JOBS Act is a modest yet necessary move in the right direction that better reflects the modern and changing economy.
March 26
The Telegraph, London, on nuclear arsenals:
Seldom has the leader of a superpower volunteered a public admission that his armed forces are over-endowed with weapons. President Barack Obama provided an example of far-sighted statesmanship when he told an audience in South Korea that America has "more nuclear weapons than we need" and further cuts were necessary.
Obama's words were all the more striking given that America comes second in the global league of nuclear powers, deploying 1,950 operational warheads compared with 2,430 controlled by Russia. Under the "New START" treaty signed in 2010, both countries are bound to cut their arsenals to a maximum of 1,550 warheads by 2018.
If that looks like a balanced arrangement, don't be fooled. Russia's nuclear arsenal is decaying anyway, with the number of deployed warheads falling year on year as they reach the end of their lives. Vladimir Putin will probably meet the ceiling in the existing treaty simply by sitting back and watching his stockpile decline at its natural pace. Without the "New START" agreement, America would have been on course to overtake Russia and become the world's biggest nuclear power. As such, the deal gave Putin a free ride, while imposing a unilateral obligation on America.
That was understandably controversial in the U.S., where Obama had to work hard to secure the Republican votes needed for the treaty's Senate approval. The fact that he is willing to repeat the exercise shows that he is prepared to run risks in the interests of long-term disarmament, which is overwhelmingly in humanity's interests. Future security will depend on nuclear deterrence by the smallest number of warheads in the fewest possible hands. Obama, at least, understands that.
March 26
The Gazette, Montreal, on assisted suicide:
Whether to allow people with terminal illnesses to die at a time of their choosing with the assistance of a doctor is a thorny issue in which Canadian politicians have been reluctant to engage, even as it becomes more pressing.
Canada's Criminal Code now makes it an offense punishable by a jail sentence of up to 14 years to counsel or assist someone to commit suicide, or to agree to be put to death.
Whether to alter those laws is a highly controversial matter, with wrenching considerations involved, and little political capital to be derived from grasping this nettle.
However, with those of the boomer generation inexorably entering their dotage years, and their minds inevitably becoming increasingly fixated on their imminent death and the manner in which it will occur, it is a matter that pleads for attention now and action in due course.
An all-party committee of the National Assembly has done the entire country a much-needed service by conducting an extensive, in-depth study of medically assisted dying. The committee devoted two years to the study and to the preparation of its report.
It is an understatement to say that there are strong feelings on both sides of the issue. ...
The committee proposed that the Quebec government enact legislation consistent with its report by next year, and refrain from prosecuting doctors who assist patients in dying so long as the proposed procedures are respected.
But the law on the matter that currently stands is a federal law, and it would be best all around if laws on the matter were consistent on all jurisdictional levels.
The Conservative federal government is reluctant to move on this issue. ...
But this is an issue whose time for discussion and resolution is at hand. ...
In light of the humanitarian considerations involved, the national government should consider it a responsibility to take the matter in hand.
March 26
The Asahi Shimbun, Tokyo, on the Nuclear Security Summit:
The threat of nuclear war has not disappeared, of course. But ever since the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the growing concern in the international community has been about terrorist groups using nuclear weapons, in fear that this could be a more realistic threat than nuclear warfare.
Two years ago, the first Nuclear Security Summit was held at President Barack Obama's behest to discuss the prevention of nuclear terrorism. The second summit is in Seoul... to come up with effective measures.
The biggest danger would be if a terrorist organization manages to obtain a nuclear weapon, either by theft or trafficking, with plans to explode it. But other forms of terrorism must also be prevented, such as spreading radiation by attacking nuclear reactors, as well as targeting vehicles or ships and inciting widespread fear by using "dirty bombs" containing radioactive materials. ...
First of all, there must be stronger monitoring and crackdowns on the "nuclear black market" to prevent terrorist organizations from obtaining nuclear materials and technologies. ...
The world has become an alarmingly dangerous place with the trafficking of nuclear material and technologies to produce highly enriched, weapons-grade uranium.
From uncovering the secret international trafficking networks to investigating the illicit organizations, much more cooperation is needed among international society.
In the accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, the situation was exacerbated by the total power blackout caused by the tsunami and other factors. There is the danger of a similar situation arising if a terrorist group sabotages a power plant and disrupts the entire power supply. ...
The great lesson to be learned from the Fukushima disaster should be that measures are needed for all contingencies, including accidents and terrorist attacks. The unexpected must not be labeled soteigai "(unforeseen)" and dismissed as such. ...
March 27
Khaleej Times, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on Syrian unrest:
Arming the Syrian opposition groups is an option that could still be considered with the crisis entering a decisive phase.
The international community, however, for the time being are waiting to see if President Bashar Al Assad will heed the recent unanimous UN call to stop all use of force and start negotiations. Assad is now tasked with pulling his forces off the streets and allowing access to humanitarian agencies before talks with the opposition. All this while, as hectic diplomatic efforts were underway to get Russia and China onboard to support a Security Council resolution for humanitarian purposes, there was a parallel narrative underway for lending support to the Syrian activists and rebels against the regime. So far this option has been flung back and forth without any effective plan coming into shape.
There could be two reasons why this has not taken off so far. First, the larger international community may have wanted to exercise the diplomatic and UN option before jumping into deeper waters and starting off a proxy war. Second, and more important is the disunity among the opposition factions under the umbrella entity, Syrian National Council. ... To counter this, the SNC is meeting in Turkey to overcome differences and formulate a joint strategy to fight the Syrian regime. The opposition's plan to evolve a "national pact" aimed at ousting Assad from office can only prove effective if the disparate groups are able to come together.
The Friends of Syria's meeting scheduled for April in Istanbul is likely to deliberate the results of the SNC meeting and incorporate its strategy... It is time Assad sees the writing on the wall and thinks in term of the national unity and the state's peace and stability.

detectives last week arrested a woman who owned a massage parlor that allegedly offered sexual favors in exchange for money.
Detectives arrested Aiying Qiao, 52, Thursday at the parlor – 120 Cedar St. – after an investigation that began July 12 when police noticed a neon sign advertising the business at the location.
Police learned that the business did not have the proper licensure, according to Wellesley Police records clerk Sue Morse.
"They found that it was an illegal massage parlor and that it was prostitution," she said.
Qiao was charged with prostitution, assisting or promoting prostitution and operating an unlicensed bath house, facial and scalp massage established without a license.

When the government refuses to erect Ten Commandments displays or set aside time for prayer in public schools, it's endorsing atheism. Since atheism is a religion, this means the atheism becomes an officially established religion in violation of the Constitution.
This is a common myth repeated by Christians who want the government to promote and endorse their religion, but its so bizarre that I have trouble figuring out how anyone could sincerely believe it. Where is the logical connection between the premise the government is not endorsing any religion and the conclusion therefore, the government is endorsing atheism? Even if one mistakenly assumes that atheism is the same as irreligion, this conclusion does not logically follow from the premise.
If we accepted this myth, then we'd have to conclude that it isnt possible for the government not to violate peoples constitutional rights: if the government promotes one religion, it violates the rights of people who arent members of that religion; if the government doesnt promote any religions, then it violates the rights of people of all religions. Thats clearly nonsense, however. If we adopt a position which leads to the conclusion that the government cant act in a way that doesnt violate peoples constitutional rights, then it should be clear that our position is flawed.
If the absence of any overt endorsement of theism or religion were the same as an endorsement of atheism, then computer manuals are atheist tracts which encourage godlessness because they don't mention gods. Restaurant menus don't mention any gods, either, so they must be secret attempts to undermine theism and Christianity as well. Oh, and let's not forget most news stories they don't mention any gods, so they are just part of the liberal conspiracy to turn everyone into atheists!
To promote atheism, the government would have to specifically tell people that atheism is preferable, that theism is ridiculous, or make similar anti-theistic claims. The government would have to erect a sign saying, There is no God, get over it. How is the absence of any signs, whether promoting or rejecting gods, the same as an endorsement of just the rejection of gods? I could claim that if the government removes the Ten Commandments but then fails to erect a sign saying There is no God, get over it, then they are actually still promoting theism. True, thats a stupid and illogical claim, but its essentially the same as what the above myth is saying. If the absence of theistic displays is the same as promoting atheism, then the absence of atheist displays has to be the same as promoting theism.
Youll notice that no atheists actually make such an argument you wont find any atheists insisting that the absence of any displays, theist or atheist, is a problem. They are quite content with the absence of such displays because they dont think that the government has the authority to promote either atheism or theism. Just because the government doesn't promote one particular religion or one set of religious beliefs doesn't mean that the government is promoting atheism, agnosticism, or irreligion. It is a fallacy to assume that the absence of endorsement for one idea necessarily implies the endorsement of some other idea.
Was atheism being promoted or favored until 1954, when "under God" was inserted into the Pledge of Allegiance? Of course not, and I don't think any Christian believes it. This renders the claim that removing the phrase and restoring the Pledge to its original form would constitute an endorsement of atheism completely incoherent.
There is a big difference between lacking any mention of gods and promoting disbelief in gods. A recipe can be atheistic without promoting atheism. A novel can be atheistic without promoting atheism. A law can be atheistic without promoting atheism. The fact that something is atheistic or godless (in the very technical sense that it lacks any mention of gods) really isn't important when was the last time that a Christian or Muslim was troubled by the lack of references to God in a computer manual or recipe? It's not something that anyone cares about because they recognize that it's not the same as promoting atheism.
The simple fact of the matter is, the government doesnt impose or even promote atheism when it simply fails to endorse one religion over all others, or even when it fails to endorse religion generally. The government cant even be described as promoting atheism unless it specifically encourages an endorses atheist views such as issuing a statement against theism, for example. This would be just as unconstitutional, however, as instituting official prayers in the name of some god.

A Jackson church is reaching out to the community with music and fellowship at the annual Wells Fest.
Wells United Methodist Church has hosted the event for 30 years in the capital city.
Church goers say the free festival is an opportunity to draw a diverse crowd for fellowship.
There were a number of live musical acts. Organizers say they lower prices on food and drinks to allow everyone an opportunity to have a good time.
Most of all, they want to share a message of community unity.
"Sometimes people jump on us because they say it's not spiritual. You ought to see what happens at 5 o'clock or 5:30 when we make the closing circle here. You got people from Jackson Prep holding hands with somebody from the county jail, and that kind of unique diversity of people wanting to do something decent, to be fun, and to be helpful," said Pastor Keith Tonkel, Wells Memorial United Methodist Church.
Cash was collected for various area charities.

To the Editor:
The town of Avon is attempting to "involuntarily" annex my family's farm in Washington Township. I understand that this action is generally permitted under Indiana law. However, this does not mean that Indiana's annexation laws are fair. Indeed, in 1998, various PAPA (People Against Portage Annexation) newsletters stated:
- "Indiana Annexation Law is Un-American!"
- "that Indiana annexation process is totally in contrast to the basic principles upon which the United States of America was founded."
- "that annexation in Indiana is clearly taxation without representation."
- "To say Indiana's annexation laws are legal means nothing - so were the Jim Crow laws of the south, as well as Hitler's death camps."
If Avon proceeds with this "involuntary" annexation, my family will be forced to fight it legally through remonstration. This will be very expensive for my family and for the Town of Avon. I have been told that the legal bill could be up to $40,000 for Avon. I have also been told that this kind of legal bill could forestall raises for some of Avon's public employees.
A far more equitable approach for all is for Avon to drop this "involuntary" annexation and continue to pursue their reorganization effort with Washington Township. If Washington Township voters agree to the merger, I can accept their determination. I just can't accept an immoral, "involuntary" annexation!

First Minister Carwyn Jones says he will write to the Prime Minister following Mark Bridger's conviction for the murder of April Jones, asking for action to counter the availability of images of child sex abuse on the internet.
– First Minister Carwyn Jones AM
We were all deeply shocked the events surrounding the tragic murder of April Jones. There are some who take the view that the internet should be as unfettered as possible. I do not take that view when it comes to - among other things - child pornography.
Mr Jones was replying to Montgomeryshire AM Russell George. His constituency includes Machynlleth where Mark Bridger abducted April Jones. Hundreds of indecent images were found on the murderer's computer.
Mr George called on the First Minister to support efforts to get internet search companies to adopt a zero-tolerance to such images. He also said that Mark Bridger's conviction and sentencing gave the 'tear in the community fabric' of Machynlleth the chance to heal.

Rosie O'Donnell: Commentator on 'The Early Show'?
With Rosie O'Donnell's announced departure of "The View" other networks such as NBC and CBS are apparently interested in the very controversial comedienne. Broadcastingcable.com reports that Rosie may offer commentary on "The Early Show" in an effort to boost its third place ratings.
"Sources say O'Donnell will meet with CBS brass soon to discuss its offer, which could open the door to regular guest appearances on The Early Show. Her views have generated the type of buzz that could allow CBS to finally lift the perennial third-place program out of the morning-show cellar."
This is quite fitting for a show that recently ran a puffy report on the daytime personality that avoided her controversies.
In elite media circles, Rosie is now marketable for her political expertise despite her very extreme opinions and frequent factual inaccuracies. Such comments include her September 11 conspiracy theories, anti-Catholic remarks, and her assertion that fire can not melt steel. In the network television world, would an extreme right often factually incorrect commentator be so marketable?

Volunteers are now searching a large area of Erie's lower east side looking for a missing teenager.
As we have been reporting, 17 year old Jacob Samusenko was last seen 2 weeks ago.
About 150 people gathered at 10 a.m. at the foot of Parade Street. Organizers made sure everyone had a flyer of Jacob with his picture, and a map of the area divided into 6 zones.
Then groups of volunteers fanned out to search city streets. Others combed brushy and wooded areas along railroad tracks and the Bayfront Parkway looking for any sign of the teenager.
The search is expected to continue until 2 p.m.

Authorities say the courthouses in Cobb County and Cherokee County received a suspected bomb threat on Wednesday.
According to authorities, the threat was made to the courthouses at around 10:14 a.m., and the caller stated the devices were buried outside both courthouses.
Marietta police say Haynes Street and Waddell Street were closed while authorities investigated the threat at the courthouse. After a search of the area near the courthouse by Marietta police and fire crews, no device was located. A K-9 was brought in as a precaution to conduct another search, and found no device. The courthouse was deemed safe at noon.
Lt. Jay Baker with the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office says a perimeter was set up around the courthouse, and K-9s were called in to conduct a search. After nothing was found, operations resumed at the courthouse. He says the courthouse was not evacuated.
Baker says foreclosures sales at the courthouse were briefly disrupted, and it's not uncommon for bomb threats to be called in during auction day.

The bells at St. John's Catholic Church in Goshen rang for an hour Wednesday after the announcement from the Vatican in the selection of Jorge Mario Bergoglio from Argentina as the new pope.
And the sign on the front lawn at the church welcomed Pope Francis, the first pope from Latin America.
Father Tony Steinacker watched the news on TV and summed up his impression of the new pope in one word — simplicity.
"Saint Francis was one of the most simplest of saints and I gleamed from TV that Pope Francis lived in a small home and it was heated by a small stove," Steinacker said. "He lived in a simple rectory and the church needs a simple way of life. The pictorial cross he was wearing around his neck won't be the large ornate cross we've seen in others."
The Father said the Pope holds the highest office in the Roman Catholic Church and "as the supreme pontiff, his way of life is rich and the history of Rome, Italy lends itself to tremendous appointments like that." "I believe Pope Francis will be a different pope with a simpler way of life," Steinacker said. "And he addressed everyone as brothers and sisters which made himself as equal to everyone. He deflected the attention off of him and unto everyone else."
Father Fernando Jimenez wasn't totally surprised at the selection.
"He will be a very humble person and we won't see any surprises," Jimenez said. "He will continue to be conservative in the governing of the church and in the social issues. He's very conscious about it and will show great respect for social issues. He will be conscious of the physical needs of the body of the church which is the people."
Parish secretary Lucia Ordonez expressed her joy with the announcement.
"I'm just really excited he's not from Europe but from a people that speaks Spanish," Ordonez said. "I was really happy to hear someone who speaks Spanish."
The new pope also has the distinction of being the first Jesuit pope and Sister Colleen Bauer said she feels a kinship with him.
"I'm glad he's a Jesuit and that he lived in a religious community even though it's not the same as mine," Bauer said. "I'm impressed. He will be strong in religious freedom."
Students in St. John's School showed excitement in their eyes at the news, added Principal Sharon Alexander.
"It was great to see. The children were excited to hear the bells," Alexander said. "They were excited to get home to watch the proceedings on TV."
Praying for Pope Francis
News of Pope Francis' election was also heralded at the University of Notre Dame Wednesday The president of the University said he and others at the school are praying for the new Pope.
The Rev. John Jenkins says the university is rejoicing the selection of the first pontiff from the Americas. The school will hold a special Mass for the new pope 11:30 a.m. today at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on campus.
Jenkins says Pope Francis is known as a humble and holy servant of the church. He says the pope's simple life and concern for the poor make his choice as pope particularly appropriate.
The bells at the basilica rang in celebration Wednesday after white smoke began flowing from the Vatican chimney, signaling a new pope had been chosen.
In Indianapolis, the leader of Indiana's largest Catholic diocese said many Catholics in this state are going to be thrilled that the new pope speaks their mother tongue.
Indianapolis Archbishop Joseph Tobin is referring to the many Indiana Catholics who grew up speaking Spanish.
Tobin says he hopes Francis, as the first pope from Latin America, will bring some universality to the church.
Tobin says the pope's namesake, St. Francis of Assisi, was considered life-giving and healing, and "the new pope may have been recognizing that things have to be done and healed in the church."

KSA:"Haia" vice officers get training to combat black magic
JEDDAH: A total of 30 officials of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Haia) have been trained on how to deal with cases of black magic.
The three-day training program was held in the Eastern Province city of Al-Ahsa.
The commission has achieved remarkable successes in combating black magic in various parts of the country. It has set up nine specialized centers in the main cities to deal with black magicians.
The majority of people arrested for practicing black magic in the Kingdom are Africans and Indonesians.
According to a report received by Arab News, a single specialized center had dealt with 586 cases involving black magic, showing the enormity of the problem.
About 50 cases were reported in Jeddah alone in the first half of 2009. Gurayat and Qunfuda also reported high rates of black magic cases during that year.
The Riyadh governorate last year launched a campaign against black magicians and those who illegally treat people by reading from the Qur'an.
Only qualified Saudis are allowed to practice Qur'anic treatment methods. Expatriates practicing such treatments would be caught and deported.

Customer Testimonial
The installation of the Ceilume tiles was a breeze for the contractor - he had to install them using scaffolding, as our ceiling is 17' height - the light weight of the boxes and having 50 per box was perfect for him. All he did was pop the basic white tile into the Ceilume, placed thru the grid and within seconds it was in. We've been taking lots of interior pictures of the new dance studio (www.onpointedancestudio.com) but due to the ceiling height, the typical picture does not do justice to your product... However when new clients and our dance instructors walk into the studio they pretty much gasp at how great the ceiling looks. Attached is a shot we took a couple weeks ago getting the floor cleaned and doing molding work... you can get an idea of the room, but like I said no justice in the picture to your product.The detail of the floral design gets challenged by a lot of people (they think its the old fashion tin style) so we keep a sample nearby and they are amazed. We mention the product by name as well.

Most of us think of the big retailers for cyber shopping, but more and more small business without much in the way of advertising dollars are looking for ways to lure you online. They are hoping to turn Facebook likes and shares into sales and profits.
A year and a half after opening, Bella Rose boutique owners said the Biloxi business is ready to jump log on to the excitement of the Cyber Monday.
"Do your Christmas shopping that way instead of coming out on Black Friday and catching all the deals," said owner Lee Ruiz. "More businesses are starting to promote online and have deals for people that shop online."
Ruiz said his staff is taking full advantage of Facebook's free advertising by posting Cyber Monday deals. They also offer added Facebook discounts designed to help them build a larger customer following.
"If you go on and like our page, you get 10 percent off your entire purchase, and we also do if you check in on Facebook," said Manager Haley Harmond. "We get more likes and the people can see most of our stuff on our news feed. They see it and they want to buy it."
Once people are in the Bella Rose news feed, they'll get future notices on merchandise and special offers.
"We post all of our new arrivals every week," said Harmond. "We have orders coming in. We're already sold out of that order and we haven't even got it yet."
"Say you like the page and then whoever your friends are they'll see that you liked it or see that you like a dress that we have posted," said Harmond.
Owners said they are able to take Internet orders without the expense of having to build and run their own company website.
"We can send you an invoice through PayPal. All they do is the go online put in their credit card information and then we ship it off to you," Harmond said.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Now that Peoria has been named an All-America City, the question is what's next?
The Young Professionals Organization, the group responsible for obtaining the award, presented the city's new road sign to Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis on Wednesday.
The group also thanked the community for its support. They say the next step is to take advantage of the award.
"You've seen other communities that have leveraged All-America City recognition into economic development opportunities, marketing opportunities, to attract new businesses and new people to their community," said Peoria City Councilman Ryan Spain. "I think all of those are things we will be doing as well in Peoria."
This is the first time Peoria has won the All-America City award since 1989.

Government Law
Telecommuters Kept Patent Office at 70% Productivity During Hurricane Sandy
Posted Nov 9, 2012 11:13 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Thanks to a liberal telecommuting policy, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office remained productive during a two-day government shutdown for Hurricane Sandy.
Patent office director David Kappos says patent and trademark teams averaged productivity of more than 70 percent during the storm, the Washington Post reports. The employees "showed an extraordinary ability to carry on business as usual in the face of extreme challenges," Kappos wrote at David Kappos' Public Blog.
The percentage was even higher among trademark-examining lawyers. Their productivity, as measured by progress in moving cases toward a decision, was 81 percent of normal on the first day of Hurricane Sandy and 79 percent of normal the second day, the Washington Post says.
About two-thirds of employees at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office are telecommuting at least one day a week. The Post and The BLT: The Blog of Legal Times have both noted the high percentage, according to ABA Journal.com stories here and here.
