New Apple Print Ad Touts iPhone's Business Savvy
iPhone loves business. With over 425,000 apps, the best phone for apps just keeps getting better.In Apple's Q2 2011 earnings call, COO Tim Cook noted that 88% of Fortune 500 companies are deploying or testing the iPhone, with 75% doing the same for the iPad. Apple also has an extensive iPhone in business page, including case studies and information on how the iPhone can integrate into a company's existing IT infrastructure.
Thanks Tim!

Typo in the article btw.Fixed, if it's the one I think it was.
I hate to be that guy... but why is this news? :confused:
I just saw an iPad billboard put up recently. Should that be posted too?
This is a shot across the bow at RIM, which is still the favorite in a lot of corporations.

I hate to be that guy... but why is this news? :confused:
Because it's new... The real question is why is this front page news?
this is news because enterprise is an arena that Apple has traditionally had a lot of difficulty penetrating.
Why not ask the IT guys who bought XServes? They sure got... penetrated.
Typo in the article btw.
and ends with the tagline:

My lawyer's colleague (one of the partners) uses a Mac at work. He's quite happy with it.
Quite a few Professors I know of at the University of Toronto use Macs.
Is your idea "professional" limited to people who edit video, or does it also include people who actually hold advanced professional degrees?
There is at least one dumb lawyer and a few dumb professors in Canada, and it sounds like you know all of them.

We booked a restricted view, balcony stateroom 8023 for an eastbound crossing New York to Southampton. I read reviews and was concerned that the lifeboat would be a nuisance alongside the balcony, that having a connecting door would prove noisy, that the room would have too little storage, that we could not take wine on board, that the line for embarkation would take forever.
None of the above proved true. Embarkation was quick and efficient, we took three bottles of wine on board, our luggage arrived at our stateroom quickly. A half bottle of Fizz was provided with the room - very welcome.
The cabin was plenty big enough - who wouldn't want a bigger one if offered? The view was obstructed by a lifeboat but it was 4 metres away from the balcony and we had a view of the Statue of Liberty. During the voyage the lifeboat gave some shelter and one could see the ocean and sky. The balcony was pleasant, especially during the first few days. There are dozens of places to sit on QM2 and watch the ocean - we saw whales one time.
The bed was large and pillows were outstandingly comfortable - we both slept as unto logs. The shower worked well and the toiletries were of good quality. The sofa proved useful and the lectures that we missed were shown on the TV.
Each day we waited with anticipation for the programme of events and marked those that interested us. There was no shortage of activities to suit all interests. RADA was wonderful as was Harold, our Bridge tutor.
We chose the late sitting in the Britannia which proved right for us. Shows run twice and last just 45 minutes, this means that you can enjoy them regardless of which sitting you choose. 45 minutes is an ideal length for shows and lectures and it works well.
We opted to share a table of 8, which turned out to be a table for 6. Service in the Britannia at breakfast, lunch and dinner is superb. You can always eat from the buffet at Kings Court - especially if you want to eat a great deal or very little. Our dining companions were charming.
Music and other entertainments around the ship are varied and of high quality. Jazz, classical, easy listening etc. We enjoyed quizzes and the lessons in the casino, for $5 you can enter a roulette or blackjack competition with a prize for the ultimate winner. This was fun and a good alternative to playing for real.
Dressing for dinner was fun and created a sense of occasion. The balls, black and white and Ascot, were disappointing and may need a re-think. They are not that special. The G32 night club is fun. Drinks are pricey.
The only fly in our ointment was when a waiter returned my cruise card to another guest and his to me. We inadvertently used the cards and the Pursers office proved less than efficient in putting things right.
All in all though, a wonderful experience.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSMartinsburg Man Accused Of Holding Woman, 74, Captive
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Jan. 31, 2014 1:50 PM EST
Updated: Jan. 31, 2014 2:36 PM EST
MARTINSBURG, W.Va. (AP) -- State Police said a Martinsburg man has been charged with holding a 74-year-old woman captive at his residence for several days and forcing her to transfer money out of her bank accounts.
State Police Sgt. Michael Baylous said Friday that Alvero A. Vilela, 49, is charged with kidnapping, unlawful restraint, extortion, and violent crimes and financial exploitation of the elderly.
A State Police statement said Trooper C.J. Hill in Charles Town responded to a complaint Jan. 24 that the woman hadn't been seen for several days. State police didn't release her name.
After friends began receiving phone calls and emails from the victim, Hill used phone records to track the calls originating from Vilela's residence.
Vilela was arrested Wednesday. He's being on $100,000 bond at the Eastern Regional Jail.

LONDON – With only two days until the opening of the 2012 London Olympics, two
Munich Olympic widows will make a final call to the International Olympic
Committee to hold a public minute of silence for the 11 Israelis murdered at the
1972 Games.
Ankie Spitzer and Ilana Romano – whose husbands, fencing
coach Andrei Spitzer and weightlifter Yossef Romano, were killed by terrorists
along with nine of their teammates – will again ask IOC President Jacque Rogge
to grant the minute during the opening ceremony of the London Games on
Olympic officials have been criticized for refusing to hold a
minute's silence for victims of Munich massacre at opening ceremony on
The widows were scheduled to present Rogge and the IOC on Tuesday
evening with a petition that has gathered more than 103,000 signatures
requesting the organization honor the memory of the men with a minute of
The petition was started by Spitzer and Romano in conjunction
with the Jewish Community Center of Rockland County, New York, and has sparked
an outpouring of support from around the world, including legislative and
government action in Israel, the US, Canada, Australia, Italy, the UK, Germany
and others.
US President Barack Obama is supportive of the call to honor
the slain athletes.
The Jewish Community Center has been working closely
with Spitzer, Romano and the Munich 11 families for the past two years, pushing
for a commemoration at Friday's opening ceremony.
The families of the
Munich 11 have been asking the IOC to commemorate the deaths of their loved ones
since the atrocity took place 40 years ago. They have been rejected every time.
The IOC has claimed to do so would bring politics into the
Earlier this week, Rogge said the opening ceremony is "an
atmosphere that is not fit to remember such a tragic incident."
With only
two days to go, Spitzer and Romano want to impress upon IOC officials that they
can change their decision and honor the men.
On Monday, the IOC paid a
surprise tribute to the Israeli athletes killed at the 1972 Games, marking the
event for the first time in an Olympic village. However it drew criticism from
the victim's families who said an unannounced minute of silence in London was a
public relations stunt aimed at deflecting criticism against IOC.
Sunday, London Mayor Boris Johnson unveiled a plaque near the Olympic village to
honor the Munich victims.
The Zionist Federation of the UK has organized
its own minute of silence. The 'Minute for Munich' memorial service will be
streamed live via a webcast on Friday.
There will also be an impromptu
memorial service in Trafalgar Square in central London organized by private

It's not like watching Trevor Bauer pitch is that much of a mystery -- he puts slow-motion videos of his mechanics on YouTube. But his tradition of running up to throw his last warmup pitch was still a mystery to the common Internet jockey before today.
No more. Like a blurry recording of a guy in a Bigfoot costume, we now have footage.
I was expecting more Roman candles and sword fights and Chinese-dragon dancing, but maybe I've built this up too much. Still, pretty interesting. And Miguel Montero hates it!

Thankfully for the world nothing came of the Cold War, but we should be relieved that we were left with the lessons that came from the tension. When it came to the Panthers and Buccaneers it was the grade school advice to 'duck and cover' that was hastily observed by Sammie Stroughter, when a dangerous punt came entirely too close to his personal bubble.
Who are we to judge? Under the spotlight of the NFL and all the pressure in the world on your shoulders who can tell the difference between "It's coming right for me!" and "Oh, it's about twenty yards to my left". To this end Stroughter did his job to a tee, and as an aside won a role in the Tampa Bay repertory theater's production of 'Thriller'.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- David Villa scored twice to raise his season total to 10 goals and Alexis Sanchez got his second and third goals of the season to lead defending champion Barcelona over Cordoba 5-0 Thursday night and into the Copa del Rey quarterfinals.
Resting Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez, Barcelona won the total-goals series 7-0 and will play against Malaga in the next round. Barcelona also plays at Malaga in the Spanish league on Sunday.
Thiago Alcantara put Barcelona ahead in the 17th minutes and Villa, who missed the second half of last season after breaking a leg, added goals in the 21st and 26th.
Sanchez scored in the 56th and 86th minutes. Villa came off late because of a cramp in his right leg.
Atletico Madrid tied Getafe 0-0 and advanced 3-0 to a quarterfinal against Betis, which beat Las Palmas 1-0 on Ruben Castro's 85th-minute goal for a 2-1 aggregate win. The other quarterfinals are Real Madrid-Valencia and Zaragoza-Sevilla.

Three simple Latin words are the impetus for the mass amount of sport success Jesuit High School has enjoyed.
"Age Quod Agis."
Its translation is "do well whatever you do." Across the board, the Catholic college preparatory
school's athletic programs – especially the football team – adhere to this creed.
The Crusaders have racked up 120 Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) state championships in their 57-year history.
"We've been very fortunate to have the success we have had for so long," Jesuit athletic director Mike Hughes said. "Every athlete or student tries to live by that Latin maxim we hold ourselves to."
Jesuit football is the driving engine: Led by 27-year coach Ken Potter, the Crusaders have won 14 Metro League titles, made 21 consecutive state-playoff appearances from 1993-2013 (second only to Roseburg's current state-record streak of 23 in a row) and captured three state titles – in 2000, 2005 and 2006.
And in the past 12 seasons, the school has turned out 48 NCAA Division I football signees. That does not include this year's seniors Joey Alfieri (Stanford commit) and Henry Mondeaux (Oregon), who will sign their national letters of intent Feb. 5.
"They've been good for so long ... it's easy to attract talent anywhere when you're winning," said Central Catholic coach Steve Pyne, whose Rams defeated Jesuit in the Class 6A title game last December. "They're like Bellevue in that regard – people want to play for the winners."
Potter echoed his counterpart's sentiment: "If you win, people will want to come here."
Hidden in a small pocket on the west side of the city, Jesuit opened as an all-boys school in 1956.
Walking onto campus, visitors pass Cronin Field, a simple but sleek football field with modern turf and a cozy press box.
Go farther into the main building, and you will see a bounty of trophies in cases lined up on five walls, providing glitz and glamour to the understated school. Nearby is the school's gymnasium, festooned with championship banners either hung from the rafters or adhered to the walls.
Potter's counseling office sits only 50 feet away from all these icons of the school's rich tradition. He passes by them daily. He knows the culture.
"I want kids who want to compete," Potter said. "The direction is the same throughout (the school). ... I think it's really difficult when the coach is trying to create a temperament of the team, but they don't seem to quite have the same support during the school day of that same temperament."
Potter has had a steep, successful history in football. He was an assistant for his father, George, at Centralia High School when the Tigers captured their lone state title in 1980.
After serving as a graduate assistant at Portland State, he bounced around the area as a high school assistant before being hired as Jesuit's coach in 1987 to try to turn around a program that had reached the state playoffs just three times in the previous 15 seasons.
Getting players to buy into a system is often the greatest challenge a coach faces when trying to resurrect a program.
"I think it's much easier when your entire school, from faculty to staff ... has the same goal in mind for those kids, and that's 'Don't accept anything but their best,'" Potter said. "I feel the program is on a level the kids expect excellence."
In his first year, Potter led Jesuit to a league title for the first time in eight seasons. And he has just added to that over time – 25 state-playoff trips in 27 seasons, including five championship-game appearances.
"When people around here first think of Jesuit, they think football," Hughes said.
Don't underestimate the domino effect football has had on the school's other programs. Since 1993 – the same year Jesuit opened its doors to girls – the school has won 101 of its 120 state titles.
Students choose Jesuit for different reasons. Some look for a challenge in athletics or academics. Others attend because of family ties. Alfieri and Mondeaux – two of the best Div. I football recruits on the West Coast – are no different.
One of six children, Alfieri ended up choosing between the schools – Jesuit and Valley Catholic – that his older siblings attended.
"I was considering Valley Catholic in the eighth grade," Alfieri said. "It just wasn't appealing to me because I felt there was more out there I could have challenged myself.
"I felt like going to Jesuit would challenge myself to be a better person, and to expand my horizon with sports, definitely."
Mondeaux leaned toward Jesuit, specifically for football.
"I work my best when I'm challenged," Mondeaux said. "(At) Jesuit, I wanted to be surrounded by the best. You definitely play better when you're playing against good people."
Just look at some of the notable Jesuit alumni who have played or coached in the NFL (Owen Marecic, Mike Remmers, Mike Hass), NBA (Erik Spoelstra, Mike Dunleavy, Jr.) or major league baseball (D.J. Jackson).
This year, Alfieri became Jesuit's first member of The News Tribune's Northwest Nuggets all-recruit first team since 1999. Mondeaux is an honorable mention Northwest Nugget.
It all falls in line with that Latin axiom: "Age Quod Agis.'
"I want the kid who's been down 3-2 in the batter's box with the bases loaded and with the game on the line. I want that kid who's been to the (free-throw) line with the game in the balance," Potter said. "You see, when you experience success or failures in other things, it helps you visualize how to succeed not just on fourth-and-2 (in football), but out there in life when it matters."

For the second consecutive game, Florida's secondary was dissected by FSU quarterback Danny Kanell while the Seminole defense sacked Danny Wuerffel five times as Florida State settled a regular season tie, winning "The Fifth Quarter in the French Quarter" 23-17 over the Florida Gators.
FSU tailback Warrick Dunn, playing in his home state, continued to riddle the Gator defense in earning Sugar Bowl MVP honors. The sophomore rushed 14 times for 58 yards, caught nine passes for 51 yards and threw a 73 yard touchdown pass.
On the game's second possession, Florida State began deep in its own territory at the 7 yard line. The Seminoles started this rematch where they left off the last game against the Gators, driving almost at will down the field. The Seminoles used a pair of Warrick Dunn 16 yard runs and a 41 yard pass from Danny Kanell to E.G. Green to the Gator 10 yard line to set up the game's first score. Unable to get the ball in the endzone, FSU settled for a Dan Mowery 21 yard field goal giving the Seminoles a 3-0 lead with 7:20 remaining in the first quarter.
UF drove to the Florida State 4 yard line on its next possession before Derrick Brooks collared Wuerffel on a third down naked bootleg forcing Judd Davis to kick a 22 yard field goal tying the score 3-3 with 3:57 remaining in the opening quarter.
After Todd Rebol stripped the ball from UF's Fred Taylor and Sean Hamlet recovered at Florida State's 27 yard line, the Seminoles used a bit of trickery resulting in a touchdown which gave them the lead for good. Dunn, a high school quarterback, completed his first collegiate pass to 'OMar Ellison for a 73 yard touchdown strike in which Ellison outraced the UF secondary giving Florida State a 10-3 advantage with 14:25 remaining in the second quarter. Dunn's pass also set a short lived record for the longest pass in Sugar Bowl history.
Florida State's defense then made another big play, this time stopping a Wuerffel 4th and 1 quarterback sneak giving the Seminoles possession on their own 28 yard line.
One play after Kanell completed a key 13 yard completion to Ellison on 3rd and 12 he hit an open Kez McCorvey for a 16 yard touchdown strike giving FSU a 17-3 lead with 7:47 left in the first half.
UF responded with an 82 yard touchdown strike from Wuerffel to Ike Hilliard on 3rd and 12 putting the Gators within seven with 6:07 left in the first half. Wuerffel's strike marked the third time in the game that the record for longest pass in Sugar Bowl history had been broken.
After another fumble recovery by Sean Hamlet at midfield, Kanell drove the Seminole offense to the 7 yard line resulting in a Mowrey 24 yard field goal giving FSU a 20-10 halftime lead.
Rock Preston continued Florida State's momentum by returning the second half kickoff 62 yards to the UF 30 yard line. Mowrey then kicked a career long 45 yard field goal giving Florida State a 23-10 lead one minute into the second half. Mowrey's third field goal of the night, also a career high, was the most by an FSU kicker since Scott Bentley kicked four field goals in last year's Orange Bowl.
Florida got back in the game in the fourth quarter after Wuerffel directed a 17 play, 80 yard drive culminating in a one yard quarterback sneak from Wuerffel bringing UF within six with 3:47 remaining.
UF's attempt of an onside kick rolled out of bounds, but the Gator defense held giving them one more chance from their own 19 with 2:27 remaining.
Derrick Brooks sealed the victory over the Gators by intercepting a Wuerffel pass and returning it to the UF 19 in the game's final minute.
Florida State's victory over Florida marked an NCAA record tenth straight bowl victory and thirteenth without a loss. Florida State also finished in the Top Five nationally an unprecedented eighth consecutive year.

I love this bar! More for the spirits and cocktails than the beer, though… 13 taps including Blank Slate Lesser, Flower Power, Jackie O's Morning Clock, Kentucky Bourbon and Barleywine, Stone Matt's, Southern Tier EuroTrash and more. Most beers are five or six dollars and come in a sixteen-ounce pour.
This is a great bar when the weather is nice out. Doors and windows are open and you can enjoy the gentrified hustle and ghetto bustle of Over-the-Rhine while sipping on a beer. They also have a couple of tables outside on the street.
Prices are fair and the selection of spirits is great. They have Fernet Branca and Mezcal to go with my beer so I'm happy.

Second time here, but first in over a year.
Parking can be tricky, but there are pay lots near by and plenty of street parking.
Shotgun bar on the corner in a seemingly very "hip" neighborhood. Low light, dark wood accents, a large cushion wall with seating, and the back wall seems to be of fine wallpaper. The flooring is neat small circular tiles, plain ceiling, and plenty of windows. The bar is jewel though - huge dark wooden backsplash with tiles of colored glass and a large mirror - a very impressive piece.
Beer selection is great. The best of tonight is Stone's Enjoy By 9/13/13, but they did have Gumballhead on tap, but ran out before I got here. A few nice local brews, some "standards", and a lot of nice beers on deck.
I think Lackman's is the best beer bar in town and would certainly recommend anyone here. Their prices are a bit high though. As for other Cincinnati beer bar comparisons, I only have one - I've been to Dutches before but only to bottle shop (primarily because I couldn't find a seat otherwise, and I wasn't floored with their tap list so I left).

Good small local bar vibe. Relaxed trendy atmosphere. Great beer selection. I had a KBS for the first (and still only) time here. I think there was a founder tap take over when I was there. Had about a half a dozen from founders some locals and other great beers.

(Visited 07/2011): The Lackman is located on Vine and 13th street on the north side of downtown. Street parking looks to be the only option in the immediate vicinity.
The bar is located in the Lackman building which is named for a brewery located in Cincinnati in the early 1900s. The interior is cleanly laid out with the bar wrapping around on the left side. Red padded bar stools and an arched mirror adorn the bar itself. The rest of the space is devoted to
The Lackman has 14 beers on tap, including local options like Rivertown and Christian Moerlein. Other craft brewers like Stone, Bells and Rogue are available too. As for bottles there are over 50. Aside from the domestic macros, they serve regional beers like Kentucky Brewing, BBC and Christian Moerlein. Many common domestic microbreweries are represented too. As for imports they have a few such as Petrus, Chimay and the like. Lastly they have a section of the beer menu devoted to "Big Beers" like Stone VE, The Bruery Mischief, and DFH Sah' Tea.
Service on an early afternoon was good. The bartenders were friendly and attentive while we were there. Not beer or service related per se but they make a damn good "Presbyterian" drink here too.
We did not have any food on our visit.
Overall this is a great spot to check out in the downtown Cincy area.

Stopped in on a Friday evening around 7:30 during the city-wide mid point music festival. Lots of music goers at the bar and surrounding streets which made for a festive and safe experience. I say safe becau the Lackman is in the gateway district in the over the Rhine neighborhood of downtown Cincinnati - an area in transition which makes for all the better reason to support them.
The bar is in a well refurbished historic space on the corner. It was 60 out during my visit and the big windows were open giving the place an airy feel. There's a very small two table patio out front facing vine street. A couple of recently opened foodie joints nearby on vine.
I had a southern tier pumking ($4) and a founders breakfast stout ($6). Both were served in a 10 oz sniffer with a half inch or less head. I moved around the bar a couple of times and the service was very proactive asking if I was ok and putting pretzels and water in front of me without asking.
Other taps included
Dogfish Head black and red
Stone smoked porter
Heavy seas davey jones lager
Dark horse crooked tree ipa
Victory prima pils
Lefthand saw tooth
Guineas, Stella, and moerlein otr
Also had a solid bottle selection with diversity to accommodate any beer drinker.
My new favorite downtown beer bar.

A great new hot spot downtown. Their is a lot going on in that growing part of VIne Street and I think the Lackman is here to stay. Good selection and alwasy rotating taps. They are trying to do different beer events atleast once a month. In the past couple of months they had a Dogfish event with Aprihop pushed through a Randal of fresh hops and dried appricots, bells event with expedtion stout and Hopslam, plus many other great beers! Last time I was there they had a Firkin of Dubel Loose Cannon.
Nice atmosphere, great beer selection, friendly service, plus a good juke box equals a great place to hang out in my mind!

Stovall is ready but we have been so pressed to win a game that Gru just over looks him which is dum when i see other teams WRgetting playing time that got drafted way after stovall
This win today was UGLY. A bad team playing a worse team. The Bucs are a bad team. Not bad talent, rather poorly coached.
Err what is our record? Poorly coached. We lined up and barely beat a team with a rookie QB in his first start with a back up RB and without the star at WR. You make the call.Please. Get realJoe Gibbs...great? Not lately

CoffeeGenic® Weight Management™ with Green Coffee Extract90 vegetarian capsulesItem Catalog Number: 01707
Based on the latest research, Life Extension® introduces CoffeeGenic® Weight Management with Green Coffee Extract. Taken before meals, this supplement—which includes potent doses of the green coffee compound, chlorogenic acid— utilizes a novel, five-pronged approach that can, along with a healthy diet and regular exercise, help many people naturally achieve maximum weight loss.
The active ingredient in green coffee bean extract is chlorogenic acids. In a placebo-controlled, human study, subjects who took 350 mg of green coffee extract three times daily before meals lost an average of 17.6 pounds — over 10% of body weight — after just 12 weeks! There was also an average 4.44% reduction in body fat percentage!28 The conclusion … green coffee extract supports the ability to lose weight.28
Other published studies on chlorogenic acids demonstrate a wide range of supportive properties related to insulin sensitivity29 and to glucose formation30,31 and absorption.32 Clinical research has shown that chlorogenic acids help limit after-meal glucose surges, supporting healthy blood sugar levels for those already within normal range.33
Now, since there is a clear link between body weight and blood sugar levels … it simply makes sense to deal with both issues simultaneously. CoffeeGenic® Weight Management™ formula does just that.
It starts with 350 mg of Green Coffee Extract … standardized to deliver 50% chlorogenic acids. That is the same amount of the same ingredient used in the successful 12-week weight loss trial cited. And it has been enhanced with these four nutrients to reinforce its ability to support weight-loss:
These five proven compounds have been combined into a single weight-loss bullet: CoffeeGenic® Weight Management with Green Coffee Extract—the most comprehensive and most powerful weight-loss formulation available today.
This supplement should be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. Results may vary.

I have been taking this for 5 days and have lost 3 1/2 lbs already so has my husband. We have more energy and have been going to a great fitness club exercising a few times a week. Also eating healthier. The only problem I have had is acid reflux. I think it maybe from the caffefine in the green tea. I no longer have a gallbladder so I tend to have that problem but since taking this it has been a little worse, almost daily. But its worth it for all the benefits of losing weight. I have been taking my supplement for acid reflux and it's eased a lot.

I take this regularly and then perform glucose tests 1 hour and 2 hours to see if there is an impact. Oddly, I have not seen any differences between similar meals and similar testing with and without this product. There are some other variables I need to reign in to understand if there really is a difference, but on the surface I'm not seeing anything significant.

About Me First Time User, Health Conscious
Comments about Life Extension CoffeeGenic® Weight Management™ with Green Coffee Extract, 90 vegetarian capsules:
This really works. I have been dieting on and off most of my adult life. Diets are hard to stick to because I am a foodie. Love to go out to eat. I am eating a healthier diet too but have even lost weight on days when I have had french fries and a cookie or 2. I have been taking 20 to 30 minutes before breakfast, lunch and dinner and have lost 6 pounds in the last 3 to 4 weeks. I think the consistency of taking it 3 times a day has accelerated my weight loss. I need to lose another 9 pounds to get down to my ideal weight which I hope to accomplish in the next 6 to 8 weeks.

Lose weight and feel great
By Linda the Professor
from Rochester, MI
Product helps to lose weight. My weight loss was not as significant as I had hoped (lost about 5 pounds in one month), but I felt better (more calm but alert) when taking with meals and felt less hungry. The few times I took it between meals, I felt sleepy, so better to take with food. It really helps when eating a large meal.

I use 1 capsule dissolved in a little water when I eat my evening meal, I drink this just before I eat. I can't remember to take a capsule 30 minutes before my meal. I eat very healthy, but I eat whatever I want and how much I want in the healthy category. I eat a light breakfast from 10 to 12 A.M. and supper at 6. Doing this, I have lost 25 pounds over the winter. I love this product and it very well could be keeping me healthy.

Why I bought CoffeeGenic
By Ruth, retired housewife
from Wagener, SC
My husband needed to lose weight, and I was convinced of the efficacy of CoffeeGenic, So I bought it for him for health reasons. I also LOVE the prompt delivery, the prices, and the use of the advisors to clarify things that I don't understand.
Energy galore. Yep I wud buy it again ++
By Nani
from McLean, VA
If your daily routine changes there is a good chance you will forget to pop one in before your meal. On a good note though, I can honestly say that so far so good. No appetite, FULL of energy. Can't sleep but not jittery. I love it so far and I hope I shed some weight. But, only 3 days into the regimen.

By request, some more New Year's decorated cookies. I have a champagne glass cookie cutter, but it's huge. And I like the more eatable, shareable smaller versions. These cookies are only about two by three inches. And as New Year's is just hours away, hopefully these will save you last minute cookie cutter shopping. All you need is a rectangle and a circle. And if you don't have a rectangle cutter, then you can easily cut one with a knife or dough scraper. I also threw in some swirly, sparkly circles (see here for how-tos).
you will need:*
white sprinkles
*Find the bags, couplers, tips, sprinkles and cutters in the craft store. For coloring, I use Americolor soft gel pastes (Super Black, Egg Yellow, Bright White, Sky Blue, Chocolate Brown). For tips on finding supplies click HERE.
step one: bake your cookies
Prepare dough according to recipe, chill it, cut out shapes (hourglasses are the rectangles, to cut the glasses use the circle to cut out semicircles from the sides, then round the edges with your fingers), bake and let cool.
step two: prepare your frosting
Prepare frosting according to recipe. Make five colors: black, brown, light yellow, white and light blue. Prepare four frosting bags with couplers and tips. Fill with each color except the light blue. Reserve the light blue in a covered container. Tie the bags closed tightly with rubber bands.
step three: decorate your hourglass
1. Outline design with black using a size three tip and let set well. An hour if you have the time.
2. Working with one cookie at a time, pipe the sand with white using a size 3 tip and immediately coat with sprinkles. Turn over to remove excess.
3. Fill the frame with brown using a size four tip.
4. Thin the reserved light blue frosting with drops of water until the consistency of thick glue. Put in an empty frosting bag, tie closed with a rubber band. Snip 1/8 inch from the tip of the bag. Pipe the thinned frosting around the outline and loosely pipe to fill the rest of the hourglass. Encourage the frosting to the edges with a toothpick as needed.
5. Let the blue set a couple hours, switch the tip on the white to size two and pipe highlights. Let dry overnight.
step four: decorate your champagne glass
1. Outline design with black using a size three tip and let set well, an hour if you have the time.
2. Working with one cookie at a time, pipe to fill the champagne glass with light yellow using a size four tip. Immediately coat with sprinkles. Turn over to remove excess.
3. Use the thinned blue frosting to fill the rest of the glass.
4. Let the blue set a couple hours, pipe highlights with white two tip, and switch the tip on the light yellow to size two and pipe bubbles. Let dry overnight.

Campaign for Arts & Minds: Progress Update
Submitted by Nadine Fiedler on Thu, 03/22/2012 - 3:10pm
posted in
From the Winter 2011-12 Caller
The effort to raise funds for the Creative Arts Center and our endowment carries on with great success! The Creative Arts Center has raised more than $4 million (or 59%) toward the $6.9 million goal. We will break ground when we reach 80%. We are getting close!
Overall, the Catlin Gabel community has contributed $13.7 million to the Campaign for Arts and Minds, most of it coming in just the last 19 months. This level of support demonstrates the high value our community places on both innovation and access.
As Lark Palma has reminded us throughout this campaign, "executing on these two fronts will allow Catlin Gabel to thrive as a national leader in education, creating generations of Portland's brightest and most inspired learners who will make their mark."

Matt Bellamy as the next doctor or KOC to be used.

W Belgium Terrific place to stay when you are visiting bled or traveling through the country to visit Croatia. The hospitality is one of a kind. The owner is at your service 24 (!!!!!) hours a day. Ideal for people who are just travelling through Slovenia and don't know at what time they will arrive. But also for hikers who want to discover the area, or young folks who are looking for a relaxing vacation in the middle of the nature. Even in the late hours you will be welcomed with a big smile by the extremely funny owner. Do not expect Buckingham Palace, since the apartment is a steal. But the value for money is excellent. It is situated nearby the beautiful lake of bled, walking distance (2 minutes). This village is all about peace and quiet. Nothing but great words for this accomodation, and we will definitely visit it again when we pass trough the neighborhood.

Publication: The Day
Ledyard - One year after the Town Council approved a tax abatement for the owners of Riverside Mall, aesthetic improvements to the site of the Ocean State Job Lot on Route 12 are well underway.
Long considered an eyesore for the residents of Gales Ferry, Riverside Mall was a major development priority when Mayor John Rodolico took office in late 2011. Mayoral Assistant Mark Bancroft said the owners approached the town last year about making some improvements in exchange for a tax abatement on any increased value of the property. The assessed value as of September 2012 is about $2.1 million.
The three-year, three-phase plan, totaling $512,000, began last September. Though phase one was meant to be completed by December 2012 - with the entire project wrapping up by the end of 2014 - some work in that phase is still ongoing, and a stipulation in the tax agreement says it is subject to "reasonable extension." The abatement is set to expire no later than Dec. 31, 2016.
Town Planner Charlie Karno said he expects phase one to be completed no later than the end of next month.
Karno said among the improvements so far are the restriping of the parking spaces, filled asphalt cracks, a new coat of sealer on the parking lot, painting and repairs of the pylon "Ocean State Job Lot" sign and the enclosing of the sign in stones.
Several light poles have also been removed, Karno said, and the "gull wing" light fixtures have been switched out with less obtrusive LED lights.
"There's been some positive changes in the facility," he said, adding that they are not "dramatic."
Karno said phase two has begun, overlapping with the completion of phase one. In this phase, among other improvements, the building will be repainted and the sidwalks will be cleaned and resurfaced.
The Planning & Zoning Commission also approved plans in May for a new facade on the Job Lot building, and a large section of the parking lot - 96 of the 460 existing spaces - is slated to be uprooted and replaced with grass.
"I think that it's moving along as scheduled, as planned," Bancroft said. "It is a welcome change to see anything being done. For years, nothing had been done. The building was allowed to deteriorate."
Officials' last attempts to beautify the dilapidated plaza - also home to a Chinese restaurant and package store - stalled when the state rejected its application for a $325,000 Small Town Economic Assistance Program grant in early 2012. As of last year, the property had a 60 percent vacancy rate.
Last fall, the Town Council adopted a plan for about $1.5 million in streetscape improvements along this stretch of Route 12, designed by Mystic-based firm Kent+Frost Landscape Architecture. The plan was submitted in September as part of an application for a $500,000 state Main Street Investment Fund grant, and officials are still waiting to hear back.
"If we did get the grant, I think we could make a big difference in that whole area," Karno said.

TYLER (KYTX) -- Tyler Police say police in West Monroe, Louisiana caught James Calvert late Wednesday night and they found 4 year old Lucas Calvert unharmed. James Calvert is accused of shooting killing his ex-wife at her Tyler home Wednesday and then abducting Lucas.
West Monroe police spotted the silver Buick LeSabre Calvert was reportedly driving and after they tried to pull over Calvert they say he led them on a chase. Police say the chase ended when Calvert crashed on a dead end street. We're told Calvert wouldn't get out of the car so police had to break the window to get him out. Investigators say there was a gun in the front seat and another in the back seat. Lucas was in a child safety seat in the back seat and did not get hurt. Tyler Police say the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services has custody of Lucas and James Calvert is in the custody of West Monroe Police. Both will be brought back to Tyler.
Tyler Police Department secured an arrest warrant for Capital Murder Wednesday evening with bond set at $2,000,000.00.
The victim in the shooting was 30-year-old Jelena Radobanovic Sriraman. Tyler Police say around 12:10 p.m. Wednesday they got a call about a shooting in the 3300 block of Bain Place. They found Sriraman shot and killed and little Lucas Calvert gone. Suspecting James Calvert abducted his son authorities issued an Amber Alert.
Pastor Larry Craig of Southern Oaks Baptist Church tells CBS 19 that the church was helping Sriraman by allowing her to live in the home owned by the church. According to Pastor Craig, she was trying to get her life back together following a divorce from the suspect. The couple recently went through a child custody hearing with James Calvert. The victim was remarried and in the process of moving to Houston where her new husband live and work.

Birthday Party Etiquette: Your Guide for Planning a Kid Birthday Party
February 12, 2013 | Posted By: Shannen Bayless | Categorized in: Family
If your kids are at that age where they are making friends and getting invited to birthday parties or wanting to have a party of their own, you may be asking yourself whats the proper etiquette when it comes to planning that perfect party for your child. Here are some tips to help clear up some of the confusion when it comes to kid birthday parties.
Whats the Best Age to Host a Friend Party?Aside from cousins birthday parties, my kids were both started getting invited to birthday parties when they reached preschool age. I think since each kid and each family is different, you need to decide what is best for your situation. I would say probably ages 4 or 5 would be a good age to start having a friend party, if your child is asking. By this age your kids are probably in preschool or have made friends at daycare, library, or play group. Then again, if your child hasnt asked yet about having a party with their friends, I would hold off awhile; save yourself some time, money and stress!
Who Should You Invite?When making out your childs party invites, youll need to decide should invite your childs entire class? How big of a party can your child (and you) handle? If your child was invited to another childs party, does that mean you have to invite them to your childs party? According to an article from parenting.com, the general rule is your childs age plus one. Doesnt mean this is what you must do, but a good guideline to follow.
Set Time FrameThis is definitely a must when it comes to kid birthday parties. On the invitations, be sure to list specific times for the party, and keep the party no more than 2-3 hours. Your childs friends will be tired and ready to head home after then. Youll also be exhausted and ready for them to return to their parents.
Drop Off or Invite Parents to Stay?I think is a gray area when it comes to kid birthday parties. Obviously, for a toddlers party, you would not want parents to just drop off their child, but what about as kids get older? Last year in my sons preschool class, I had no problem at age 5 leaving him at a birthday party. We knew just about every parent in his class, so I felt comfortable leaving him with them. This year hes in a class of 24 kindergartners where I know 1 set of parents. So when the birthday invitations started coming home this year, my husband and I made a point to stick around at the birthday parties.
What about if youre having a pool party or a party at a larger restaurant venue like Monkey Joes or Chuck E Cheese? Those are places where it would definitely be helpful to have parents stick around to help watch their kids. I recommend either asking a few parents ahead of time or else put something on the invitations about parents being welcome to stay.
Lunch? Cake and Ice Cream? Both?This can also be a tricky decision. Deciding if you should serve a full lunch can depend on how much money you plan to spend, the time of day you plan to party, where youre having the party, and whether or not you need to worry about special diets and allergies. If youre a first time kid party planner, I would go with just serving cake or cupcakes and ice cream. Keep it simple, after all theyre just kids!
Goodie Bags?After the gifts have been open and everyone is filled with sugar, do you send your childs friends on their way with a bag of goodies? In my opinion, much of that stuff is going to end up in the garbage after a while. Do kids really need more stickers, pencils, etc? Sure, its nice to send them home with a nice little thank you gift, but if you feel like you need to send them with something, how about a small gift certificate to the local ice cream shop or to McDonalds? That is something the kids will be just as excited about and its something that will get used not tossed in the garbage. Last year one of my sons friends had a candy themed party and sent each guest home with a candy themed dry erase board. I thought this was creative and perfect for 5 year olds who are practicing writing.
Thank You NotesMy kids have been invited to several birthday parties, and after only a handful of them have we received any kind of thank you from the child. Yes, its time consuming. Yes, it can add up in postage to mail them out. However, I think sending thank you notes after a birthday party can be a great teaching moment for your child. For more on thank you note etiquette and ideas about how to write them after a kids party, check out: Kid's Birthday Party Thank You Notes.
Alternatives to hosting a friend birthday partyI have not planned a friend birthday party for either of my boys yet, but I know sooner or later theyre going to ask for a friend party of their own. Instead of inviting your childs entire class for a party, maybe let your child choose one or two friends to spend the day with. Maybe you could take them to a movie or a place like Monkey Joes, or just take them all out for lunch.
Whatever way you choose to spend your childs special day, do make the day special for them. Before you go to all the work of planning a big bash, ask your child what he or she wants to do. Last year, my son opted for a special day with a friend and then tickets to a Bulls game with his dad instead of a big birthday party.

The Maine Heritage Policy Center on Tuesday released a list of vendors its says Maine State Housing Authority has paid over the past 13 years.
Included in that 536-page list: a massage therapist, three martial arts centers, an Augusta dance club, the Theater at Monmouth, various social and political organizations and 240 hotels, inns and resorts — enough to put up employees 1 1/2 times every month since 1998.
The conservative think tank calls those expenditures and others "disturbing."
"Taxpayer dollars should go toward fulfilling the mission, and for Maine State Housing that is providing low-cost, affordable housing," said Sam Adolphsen, director of the Center for Open Government for the Maine Heritage Policy Center. "So if they're giving money to groups that aren't directly interested in that — for instance, a global warming group out of the Netherlands — we don't see that has any connection to Maine Housing's mission. That sets off some warning bells."
Maine State Housing Authority spokeswoman Deborah Turcotte defended the expenditures and said any implication of wrongdoing was the center's interpretation of the vendor list.
"We take our job seriously," Turcotte said. "It requires training. It requires education and workshops that need to be attended to so that we can fulfill our mission. We take our mission very seriously, and we are going to continue providing our mission every day."
The Maine State Housing Authority is a quasi-governmental agency that gets its funding from bonds, mortgage interest, the federal government and, to a lesser extent, state government, among others. It has 140 employees and serves 90,000 clients per year.
It was unclear how much money the Maine State Housing Authority spent on each vendor, when it spent that money or why. The information it supplied to the Maine Heritage Policy Center — which recently obtained the list as part of a Freedom of Access Act request it made in June — contained only the names and addresses of vendors. Turcotte said the housing authority was working to get additional information, but it could not provide everything the center wanted.
"They wanted to have the name of the vendor, the date, the transaction, the amount, purpose, all of that. Our system wasn't set up that way," Turcotte said.
The policy center paid the housing authority $800 for compiling the list, which includes more than 6,000 vendors. Some names and addresses were deleted by the housing authority because, Turcotte said, they contained confidential information, such as a Social Security number or bank account number.
In a story posted on the policy center's website TheMaineWire.com, Adolphsen acknowledged the list had thousands of vendors that were in keeping with the Maine Housing Authority's mission, including landlords and contractors.
But he was concerned about the hundreds of others that seemed out of place. Among them:
* About 240 hotels, inns and resorts, including Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, a Disney property in Florida and the Wyndham Miami Beach Resort.
* Recreational activities, including the Theater at Monmouth, Funtown/Splashtown in Saco, Riverback Dance Club in Augusta, United Martial Arts Academies in Augusta and Healing Hands Therapeutic Massage in Belgrade.
* Social, political, and lobbying organizations, including the Maine Center for Economic Policy and Moose Ridge Associates in Augusta, which the policy center says is owned by the former partner of Maine State Housing Authority Director Dale McCormick.
* Out-of-state organizations, including the New Iowans Program in Iowa.
Turcotte could immediately explain the expenses behind some of those vendors Tuesday, but not others.
She said the hotel rooms were required because employees attend conferences, workshops and training, including annual training in Miami held by the company that provides Maine State Housing's specialized computer system.
Turcotte could not explain the Theater at Monmouth or the United Martial Arts Academies because those expenditures, she said, occurred in 1998 and 2002, respectively, and the housing authority no longer had the invoices.
She said the housing authority bought Funtown/Spashtown tickets at the corporate rate and sold them to employees. She said the housing authority had rented a hall from the Riverback Dance Club for an all-staff presentation. Healing Hands was hired to provide 10-minute neck massages to employees during a similar all-staff day, she said.
Turcotte said the housing authority gave the Maine Economic Policy Center $500 for "miscellaneous conferences and dues." She said the housing authority's human resources department — not McCormick — brought in Moose Ridge Associates. Although the company's website bills it as "one of the foremost advocacy and lobbying firms in Augusta," Turcotte said owner Betsy Sweet was brought in to work with employees on interpersonal and relationship skills.
Turcotte said the housing authority paid The New Iowans Program $183 in 2002 for "admin education and training." Although the policy center speculated the expenditure had something to do with McCormick's ties to Iowa, Turcotte said the expense occurred two years before McCormick was tapped to lead the housing authority.
Turcotte pointed out the housing authority has a superb credit rating and is audited eight times a year by various groups, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Treasury and an outside third party that looks at the books twice a year.
Despite those audits, the Maine State Housing Authority has come under fire in recent months, most notably for shoddy housing and cost overruns on housing projects. Last fall, Republicans on the Legislature's Government Oversight Committee initiated an investigation into the organization.
State Treasurer Bruce Poliquin, a Maine State Housing Authority board member and a Republican who has proven fiercely loyal to Republican Gov. Paul LePage, has been particularly vocal about problems at the housing authority. Some say Poliquin's questions and the Maine Heritage Policy Center's report Tuesday are politically motivated.
McCormick is a former Democratic legislator who was reappointed to MaineHousing by Democratic Gov. John Baldacci early in 2010.
Although LePage has not hesitated to show Baldacci's appointees the door, his power to expel McCormick is statutorily limited. To be removed, she must commit fraud, steal or demonstrate fiscal malfeasance.
The Maine Heritage Policy Center has been deeply involved in the LePage administration.
State Sen. Margaret Craven, D-Lewiston, a member of the Government Oversight Committee, said Tuesday that she believes McCormick is being targeted.
"In my personal opinion, the governor, as well as the treasurer, wants to undermine Dale McCormick because she's a woman, as well as a Democrat," she said. "I believe they're going to try to smear her in any way they can, whether they can prove it or not."
LePage spokeswoman Adrienne Bennett bristled at Craven's assertion that his administration is targeting McCormick.
"For Sen. Craven to accuse the governor of undermining McCormick because she is a woman and a Democrat is laughable," Bennett said in an email. "The governor has never expressed malcontent toward Dale McCormick. Rather, the governor and his staff have worked with her in recent weeks, most recently to develop a LIHEAP contingency plan, and the governor will continue to work with the agency."
She said the Maine Heritage Policy Center's report "exemplifies the need for oversight" of the quasi-state agency.
"Ultimately, the governor believes if taxpayer dollars are being used, some sort of oversight is warranted," Bennett said. "The governor is supportive of creating improved accountability within MSHA and the administration will work toward a resolve to address this issue."

A Billings teen making her first solo flight crashed in a rugged area in the Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming. The good news is she walked away from the crash and is said to be okay.
According to the Park County Sheriff's Department, 17-year-old McKenzie Morgan became disoriented during her training flight and crashed. Her flight started in Laurel and made several stops.
Two hunters reported seeing the plane go down near the abandoned mining town of Kerwin and they called for help. The hunters found McKenzie who was able to get out of and walk away from the plane. One of the hunters then took her by horseback to emergency personnel.
The report says she had minor injuries but was taken to West Park Hospital as a precaution.

2,600 students at risk of deportation from UK
LONDON, England (AP) — Around 2,600 foreign students could be deported from Britain after their university was stripped of its ability to sponsor visas for pupils beyond the European Union, the government announced today.
The move provoked dismay from students and accusations that the move by the Conservative-led government, which is bent on reducing immigration, could damage Britain's global reputation.
London Metropolitan University has lost its "highly trusted status" because a survey found significant problems with the qualifications of many of its foreign students, Immigration Minister Damian Green said.
In a "significant proportion" of cases, there was no documentation that students had a good standard of English, Green said, and there was no proof that half of those sampled were attending lectures.
He said the sampling of the university's foreign students indicated that more than a quarter did not have current permission to be in the country.
"Any one of those breaches would be serious," Green told BBC radio. "We found all three of those breaches at London Metropolitan."
A degree from a UK university is highly prized by many students abroad, and those from outside the European Union often pay higher fees than residents. The British government, which has cracked down on immigration in multiple ways, has pointed to student visas as a category ripe for abuse by those who may instead be looking for work.
London Metropolitan has 30,000 students, and 2,600 are affected by the government's decision, said university spokesman Nick Hansen.
Students from other European Union countries don't need visas.
The affected students will have 60 days to find new sponsors once they are formally notified by the government, or they could be deported. A task force has been set up to help genuine students who otherwise qualify for visas, Universities Minister David Willetts said, but with the fall term imminent students have little time to find new sponsors and courses.
Emmanuel Egwu, a 24-year-old Nigerian, said he was told he would be unable to do his final year of his three-year course in forensic sciences at London Metropolitan.
"I have been paying loads of tuition fees, my parents have been spending a lot of money, selling properties back home to make sure my tuition fees have been paid. It's like flushing money down the toilet," Egwu said.
It was not clear why the affected students currently at London Metropolitan's system were not being allowed to simply finish their courses of study.
The government has not accused London Metropolitan of fraudulently accepting foreign students, and there was no indication its academic accreditation is under threat.
