American Songwriter is taking a look back at one of the songs from Billy's 1976 Turnstiles album, "I've Loved These Days." Here is an excerpt from the magazine:
Read More
While it lacks the big hits of some of the albums that followed it, 1976's Turnstiles was a turning point in the career of Billy Joel. Joel had recently left Los Angeles to return to New York and decided that he would take charge of his own sound for the first time in his career.
As he told actor Alec Baldwin in an interview in June of this year for New York's WNYC, Joel's decision to produce the album himself was one that was necessary at that point. "Turnstiles was recorded in New York," he said. "I produced it myself, which, in hindsight, was probably not a good idea, but I didn't want people telling me what band to work with, how to do the songs. I wanted to do it my way."

Five honorees received Alumni Merit Awards, given by the degree programs to alumni who personify the School's tradition of excellence. They are:
May 3rd, 2013
CHARLOTTE and RALEIGH Plexus Capital, which specializes in providing growth capital to lower middle market businesses across the nation, has been named the U.S. Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) of the Year for 2013. In announcing that Plexus is the top SBIC of more than 300 in the nation, Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Karen Mills cited Plexus Capitals hard work, innovative ideas and dedication. Plexus Capital will receive the SBIC of the Year Award June 21 during the 50th Anniversary of National Small Business Week. The North Carolina-based firm has just completed raising $150 million in private capital from its long standing limited partners. Pending final SBA approval, this private capital will be combined with leverage from the SBA in the same amount to create Plexus Fund III, with total available investment capital of $300 million. Plexus invests across a broad range of industries and typically in privately-held, lower middle market businesses across the United States. Plexus Capital meets strict SBA licensing criteria in order to provide subordinated debt and equity capital as an SBIC serving small businesses across the nation.
Being named the nation's Small Business Investment Company of 2013 speaks to the value we are providing to our investors and small businesses across the country, said Plexus Capital Managing Partner Bob Anders. Plexus is distinguished by our focus on relationships, our determination to create access to growth capital for U.S. middle market businesses, and our proven ability to continue to earn the confidence of our investors. With investments in more than 50 businesses, and experience managing through all economic cycles, we have proven ourselves to be patient investors with the experience it takes to succeed. The SBA selected Plexus Capital for the honor based on its award criteria which included portfolio company revenue and employment growth, strong commitment to overall business growth, management of portfolio companies, and participation in the small business community.
The Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program, administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), is a private-public partnership created in 1958 to fill the gap between the availability of growth capital and the needs of small businesses. The SBA's Investment Division licenses qualified private equity fund managers and provides them with access to low-cost, government-guaranteed capital to make investments in U.S. small businesses. (see http://www.sba.gov/content/faqs)
Click here to see our announcement as a PDF.
Over the past two years, Plexus Capital has made investments totaling more than $100 million in high growth, lower middle market businesses from its $175 million Plexus Fund II.
Specializing in providing growth capital in the form of mezzanine, subordinated debt, or preferred equity, Plexus launched Fund I in 2005 and followed with Fund II in 2009. The Plexus team currently manages approximately $255 million of investable capital and has closed 45 investments between its first two Funds.
"Plexus conducts exhaustive due diligence, employing the most current technology and maintaining close contact with our portfolio management teams. We strive to build a mutually beneficial relationship with each of our constituents — always with the long term in mind. What distinguishes Plexus is our desire and willingness to serve as a valued strategic financial partner to each and every one of our portfolio companies," said Bob Anders, Plexus managing partner.
Plexus focuses on providing growth capital to healthy businesses located in the Eastern United States with revenues between $20 million and $100 million. The private firm is a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) and provides funding from its private investors in collaboration with the Small Business Association.

The first thought I had after building Cleeper was "Dude, this is way too complicated. It should just copy straight to e-mail." Here it is:
If you're on an iPhone, or if you have an e-mail client set up for your computer's Web browser, try it now. Click it once, and then click one of the paragraphs on this page.
Unlike other Web-based solutions, iClipper does not send the content you're trying to paste back and forth to a third party site. It lives and works entirely on your device, and nobody can ever see what you're doing or prevent you from doing it.
Thanks to alert reader Hardcle and a bit of hacking and writing just now, we have a nothing-but-iPhone install page:
Install Now Without Safari Sync
Go there and do what the page says and you should be up and running without synching bookmarks from Safari. If you have not already made the mistake of syncing your Safari bookmarks, definitely do this; syncing from Safari will bring over a couple of bookmark folders ("Bookmark Bar" and "Bookmarks Menu") that you will not be able to remove later.
If that didn't work, click the Install Through Safari link just below for Plan B:
TEXTAREA, or
PRE--it might miss important stuff just outside the box. This is especially true for pages using tables-based layout.
Pretty simple stuff: we're going through the DOM, adding an event listener to all the block-level elements we care about, and popping up the contents in a
mailto: url:
(function(d) { var t=['P','LI','DD','TD','PRE','DIV','TEXTAREA']; for(var i=0;i<t.length;i++){ var n=d.getElementsByTagName(t[i]); for (var j=0; j < n.length; j++){ n[j].addEventListener("click",function(e){ e.stopPropagation(); var v = this.innerHTML; if (this.tagName === 'TEXTAREA') { v = this.value;} v = v.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, '').replace(/\s{2,}/g, ' ').replace(/</g, '<'); var f = '\n\nClipped from ' + d.location.href + ' with iClipper, available at http://kentbrewster.com/iclipper'; v = v + f; d.location='mailto:?subject=' + d.title + '&body=' + encodeURIComponent(v); },false); } } })(document);
iClipper has miles to go; if you're a developer and are thinking about taking it further, be my guest. (A link back here would be appreciated, of course.) As always, have fun, and please let me know how it goes.

proposal writing
What a grant proposal contains will depend on the funder. The guidelines that the funder outlines will let you know exactly what you need to submit to them; thus it is difficult to outline a series of instructions or tips that will always hold true. It is extremely important to read the application instructions carefully as funders will notice grant proposals that are well-tailored to their funding requirements, and they will certainly notice proposals that miss even a small requirement. The most common, basic elements of a grant proposal are a cover letter, a project description, a budget, and a work sample.
Cover Letter
This is the top page of your proposal; it should succinctly identify and explain the contents of the proposal.
Basic characteristics of a cover letter:
- One page in length.
- Identify what you're requesting, for example: "I am writing to request an artist's grant in the amount of $500."
- A brief description of your project (a few sentences long).
- Identify some particular aspect of your project to which you'd like to draw attention. For example, high-profile collaborators, previous success, support already received. (See "Motive" under "Project Description" for more ideas to use here.)
- A list of enclosed materials (after your signature).
Project Description
This is where you can explain, in depth, what your project is all about. Project descriptions should address whatever items the funder requests; listed below is a general formula for writing a successful description. While the structure is outlined below, it is important to remember that the project description will be read by someone who is reading potentially hundreds of similar descriptions. This makes it all the more important to focus on style and readability: a well-written description will read like a narrative, flowing from one section to the next.
- Hook: interesting first sentence. Begins to set up the problem that your work seeks to address.
- Motive: why should the reader care? Set up an explanation for why your work, your approach, your ideas are important and need to be funded. This might be a chance to use some of the research you've done on the funding organization. What do they care about? Here are some ideas of what a motive could entail:
- The truth isn't what one would expect, or what one would expect on first glance.
- The standard opinion needs challenging.
- There's a contradiction or complexity.
- This seemingly tangential or insignificant matter is actually important or interesting.
- There's a mystery or question that needs explaining or answering.
- Views on the matter conflict.
- This is something that has never been done before in this way.
- Closing: setting up the basic outline of your project and how it will address the problem.
- Describe the project's aesthetic approach, materials, goals, and any other information that will give the reader a well-rounded idea of your project.
- Clarity is key here. Don't write around what you're trying to say: describe what the project is, what its intentions are, what you hope to accomplish, etc. This is a time to look back at what the funder wants from a project and then tailor your description to match exactly what they want.
- Describe how your work fits into the larger art world.
- Restate the main argument for funding your project with the focus on what you think is the strongest reason for funding your project.
- Details and logistics: any dates or details on the basic logistics of the project can be included here.
A budget is a basic breakdown of the funding your project will require. The general amount of your budget will usually correspond to the scope of your project, your experience level, and your history of carrying out similar projects. Looking at friends' or colleagues' budgets can help you get an idea of where you might want yours to land. In the end, though, it's important to estimate your expenses (and income) as closely as you can. The budget is not set in stone, though; it's only an estimate, and once your project is under way many of the amounts will likely shift. Be careful not to allow too little, however, so that when you're in the middle of your project you suddenly find that you are underfunded. In addition, make sure you pay yourself! Professional artists get paid for their work, and by budgeting for your own salary you will show the funder that you are a professional who values your time.
Keep in mind that the strongest budget proposals usually include money coming from several sources instead of just one.
Supporting Materials
Gauge what to send based on what the grant funder asks for in the grant application. Often, funders will ask for a biography and resume and any other documentation of your career, including reviews, press releases, catalogs, videotapes, portfolios, etc. No matter what the application asks for, do not send material that is no longer relevant. If you have a press release from ten years ago, for instance, promoting work that is much different from your current project, it's probably not going to help your application to include it.
If you're sending slides or digital images of your work, make sure that they are well shot and highlight the strength of your work.
The person on the other end of the proposal will only know you through your proposal. This means that presenting a thorough, well-researched, detail-oriented proposal is essential. Putting all written documentation (proposal, resume, etc.) on the same kind of paper using the same font is a small detail that will go a long way in the presentation of your proposal.
As mentioned earlier (but it bears repeating), look through the qualities that the funder wants in a funded project. Does your project embody each and every one of those requirements? Is each one addressed clearly in your proposal? If you tailor your proposal to the exact requirements of the grant, you will be showing the funder that your project is exactly what they are looking for.

The finding of atypical glandular cells on cervical cytology can present a diagnostic challenge for ObGyns.
Atypical glandular cells (AGC) are an uncommon finding, occurring in less than 1% of screening Pap tests. However, considerable research has been directed at the significance of this result, because of the high risk for underlying malignancy of the genital tract in women with this finding. Studies have reported the risk for premalignant and malignant conditions from 17% to 59%.1-7
The 2001 Bethesda System to report abnormalities of cervical cytology significantly changed the classifications for AGC on a Pap test.8 The term atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance (AGUS) was eliminated to avoid confusion with a similar term, atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US). AGC results are subclassified as follows:
Multimodality testing is required to evaluate patients with AGC Pap results, including colposcopy, human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, endometrial sampling, and cervical cone biopsy.
back to top
Significance of AGC on Cervical Cytology Testing
The differential diagnosis for AGC includes benign, premalignant, and malignant conditions. The most common benign lesions associated with AGC are chronic endocervicitis, endometriosis, squamous metaplasia, tubal metaplasia, microglandular hyperplasia, unintentional sampling of the lower uterine segment, pregnancy, thermal injury, previous cone biopsy, radiation, endosalpingiosis, and cervical polyps.4,9 The premalignant and malignant conditions associated with AGC include squamous cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of the cervix, complex endometrial hyperplasia, and malignancies of the lower genital tract (uterus, cervix, vagina), upper genital tract (ovary, fallopian tube), and rarely, abdominal or distant nonreproductive organs.4,7
AGC is often diffi cult to classify histologically. While liquid-based preparation (LBP) cytology has increased sensitivity for detecting squamous cervical lesions as compared to the conventional manual Pap screening test, the data regarding LBP as a diagnostic tool for AGC are confl icting.10-14 There is a high degree of interobserver variability in the interpretation of AGC specimens by cytologists, with some studies suggesting this inconsistency to be as high as 45%.15 Glandular cells detected on Pap testing can originate from multiple sites, including the endocervix, endometrium, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cavity following transuterine migration.9 In addition, there is a lack of well-defined cytomorphologic criteria for diagnosis.
Reported rates of the association of AGC cytology with premalignant and malignant conditions vary widely, ranging from 17% to 59%.1-7 A summary of these studies is presented in the Table. A meta-analysis identified 3,890 women with AGUS or AGC cervical cytology from 24 studies on whom follow-up was available. Among these women, 20.6% had clinically significant lesions: high-grade CIN (11.1%), cervical AIS (2.9%), endometrial hyperplasia (1.4%), and malignancy (5.2%).7
Another large retrospective review identified 662 women with AGC and found that 17.1% of patients had clinically signifi cant precancerous or malignant lesions: 7.5% had CIN-II/III or AIS, 3.0% had endometrial hyperplasia, and 6.6% had an underlying malignancy (cervical, endometrial, or ovarian).5 This study also showed that while women with AGC cytology younger than 40 are more likely to have a cervical malignancy, those older than 50 more commonly have endometrial carcinoma.
It is important to note that the primary sites of cancer diagnosed in women with AGC are not limited to the lower genital tract. There are reports of AGC cytology arising from malignancies of the upper reproductive tract, including ovary (5.4%- 10.9% of all diagnosed malignancies) and fallopian tube (1%). Malignancies of other pelvic or distant organs are also associated with AGC cytology: bladder (3.2%), colon (3.2%), and breast (3.2%).4,5,15
Based on data from the largest published meta-analysis, endometrial adenocarcinoma is still the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in women with AGC (57.6% of all diagnosed malignancies), followed by cervical adenocarcinoma (23.6%), cervical squamous cell carcinoma (5.4%), ovarian cancer (5.4%), and fallopian tube cancer (1.0%).7 One of the challenges in managing these conditions is that the neoplastic lesion is often located in an area that is diffi cult to sample, such as high endocervical canal, endometrium, adnexa, and occasionally extragenital sites.9 There is a concern that these lesions may not be diagnosed by conventional office examinations such as colposcopy, endocervical curettage, or endometrial biopsy.
In addition to cervical cytology, other patient-related factors can be used to stratify the risk for malignancy during evaluation of AGC cytology. These include the AGC subclassifi cation (AGC-NOS or AGC-FN), presence of concomitant ASCUS on Pap screening, patient age, and HPV status. A recently published metaanalysis found that women with AGC had a 20.6% risk for clinically signifi cant pathology.9 When stratifi ed by subclassifi cation, AGC-NOS was associated with a 13% risk and AGC-FN with a 48% risk, indicating that the finding of AGC-FN predicts an increased risk for clinically significant underlying pathology.
The same study also evaluated women with concurrent AGC and ASC-US and found their risk for underlying disease to be 44%. These women have a significantly higher likelihood for a premalignant or malignant lesion of the cervix versus another organ.5 Patient age has an adjunct diagnostic value when evaluating AGC Pap tests. CIN-II and CIN-III are the most common signifi cant histologic findings in women younger than 35 years. However, patients older than 35 years with AGC more commonly have endometrial neoplasia.4,5,16
Concurrent testing for high-risk HPV with AGC cytology is helpful. Studies have shown that only 24% to 45% of AGC cytology test positive for high-risk HPV DNA.17-19 However, patients with AGC cytology who also test positive for high-risk HPV DNA have an increased risk for cervical pathology. One study demonstrated that 96% of women with biopsy-confirmed CIN-II/III and 85% with AIS or invasive cervical adenocarcinoma had AGC cytology and were positive for high-risk HPV DNA.17 Women with AGC cytology who are HPV negative have a higher risk for endometrial or upper genital tract carcinoma.19
Testing for high-risk HPV is especially useful as an adjunctive screen in patients with AGC-NOS cytology or those patients in whom the initial evaluation is negative for cervical or endometrial pathology. Studies have shown that patients with AGC-NOS Pap test results who are also HPV negative have a low risk for cervical or endometrial neoplasia; 80% to 90% of patients in this category do not have lower genital tract disease. 17 In these patients, persistent AGC cytology should prompt an investigation of upper genital tract or abdominal or peritoneal disease. HPV testing does not appear to predict the presence of endometrial or extrauterine disease in patients with AGC.
Evaluation and Follow-Up of AGC Cervical Cytology
Multimodality testing is required to evaluate patients with AGC Pap test results. Initial evaluation of all patients with AGC cytology, including adolescents, should be to perform an evaluation of the cervix with testing for high-risk HPV subtypes and colposcopic-directed biopsies with endocervical curettage. Endometrial sampling with office endometrial biopsy is recommended for all women 35 or older or for those with risk factors for endometrial neoplasia.
Women who have atypical endometrial cells on Pap testing can initially be evaluated with endocervical and endometrial sampling. If this testing is negative, then colposcopic-directed biopsies and high-risk HPV testing should be done. For patients with AGC with AIS or atypical endocervical cells favoring neoplasia or adenocarcinoma, initial colposcopic-directed biopsies, endocervical curettage, and endometrial sampling should be performed.
In all patients (except AGC-NOS and HPV negative), if the initial biopsies are nondiagnostic or negative, then a diagnostic excision procedure should be performed because of the high risk for underlying premalignant or malignant conditions. A cold-knife cone is recommended instead of a loop electrode excision procedure because of the ability to evaluate for invasive disease and margin status. If the results of the excision procedure are negative and the initial endometrial biopsy was also normal, this should prompt evaluation of malignancy in the upper genital tract (fallopian tubes, ovary, peritoneum) or from other pelvic and distant organs. This evaluation could include pelvic ultrasound, computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis, colonoscopy, and mammography. Findings of neoplastic disease should prompt a referral to a gynecologic or surgical oncologist, as appropriate.
If the initial evaluation is negative for any premalignant or malignant lesion in a patient with AGC-NOS cytology, she can be triaged to repeat cytology and HPV testing depending on the initial HPV results (Figure). If it was positive for high-risk HPV, then repeat cytology in 6 months; if negative for high-risk HPV, then repeat cytology in 12 months. If the repeat cytology is normal, then the patient can be triaged to routine cervical cancer screening. If the repeat cytology shows anything worse than ASC-US, or persistent AGC (high-risk HPV positive or negative), then repeat offi ce evaluation with colposcopic-directed biopsies, endocervical curettage, and endometrial sampling is recommended. If this is all negative, then a diagnostic excision procedure is done to evaluate for a lesion in the endocervical canal.
Evaluation of AGC in pregnancy is similar to that in nonpregnant patients except that endometrial sampling and endocervical curettage are contraindicated because of the risk of disrupting the pregnancy. In pregnant patients, invasive cancer is treated with the same guidelines as in nonpregnant patients in consultation with high-risk ObGyn oncologists. Preinvasive conditions, such as AIS, CIN-II, or CIN-III, can be treated in the postpartum period.
AGC presents a challenging dichotomy to ObGyns. It has a low incidence on Pap testing. However, patients with this finding have a high incidence of an underlying malignant or premalignant process. It is important to thoroughly evaluate women with the diagnosis of AGC on routine cervical cytology. The American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology and ACOG have published recommended guidelines for the management of women with AGC cervical cytology.20,21 The guidelines are available online at: www.g-o-c.org/uploads /asccp_2006_consensus_guidelines.pdf.

A young artist took a rundown tennis court that no one ever used and turned it into a colorful dog park. All she needed was paint and a great imagination.
This is Lauren Lee's favorite mural. It's located at 909 West Apartments in Tempe. It's all about dogs.
"This is the first time I got to paint dogs and I am a huge dog lover."
The mural is covered with the dogs from the neighborhood.
Lauren couldn't resist putting her own dog on the mural. Her Tempe neighbors love the idea.
"One is the colors, you can see the colors when you're on the third floor of our first building, second of all the pictures were done with real dogs," says Kathie Udeck.
This Yuma artist loves to do murals. You'll see her work around Phoenix.
"Each time you create you have to create it for everyone, it's not just me."
Lauren's dream is to paint the world with murals. She's very good at it. Her next mural will be for a charity for children.

Hardin County struck a chord with T.J. Rhoades many years ago.
The musician, philanthropist and insurance agent strives to give back to the community he calls home.
Rhoades, who has been with State Farm for 23 years, became an agent in Elizabethtown in 1996.
He wants his office to be a hometown agency where he knows his customers and thinks of them like family, becoming involved in their lives, he said.
Ever wonder what turn your life may have taken if you didn't meet someone?
I have been thinking about that a lot the last few months, pretty much ever since it was decided that after more than 30 years removed from seeing each other, my two very best friends and I from college would meet on campus, where our lives were in many ways shaped.
It has been a long 30 years since we graduated from Morehead State University and went in our own directions.
Gary Kempf has a history of compiling history.
The Elizabethtown resident has several books to his name, including works about Elizabethtown, Vine Grove and West Point.
But he doesn't consider himself an author.
"I'm not a writer; I'm a compiler," Kempf said.
As a compiler, Kempf's name can be found on works such as "Methodism in Elizabethtown, KY — And Some Other Things of Interest," "The History of Vine Grove, Kentucky" and "West Point, KY & The Brickyard."
For a few weeks a year, it sits on our dining room table without too much notice most of the time.
The rest of the year, the nearly 2-foot high ceramic Christmas tree is delicately placed in a downstairs closet with many of our other decorations, waiting to be unwrapped once again.
At more than 30 years of age, it shows very little wear and tear from its broad travels including four houses, two apartments and two countries.
Not many can say they helped man set foot on the moon. Edwin Snyder is a local man who can make that claim.
Snyder, of Rineyville, worked for more than 20 years with IBM, which led to working seven years with NASA during the 1960s and the Saturn Apollo phase of the space program.
He was there when Apollo 11 and Neil Armstrong landed on the moon.
"It was tremendous and I felt really blessed that the Lord allowed me to be a part of it," said Snyder, 85.
If Bryan Smith had taken the advice of some of his high school teachers, he might have gone to trade or vocational school.
They told him some students were not suited for college. Smith wanted to show those teachers they were wrong.
"I sort of took that as a challenge," said Smith, who is 51.
The Elizabethtown resident is registrar at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, having earned a master's and education specialist degrees.
Randy Acton's commitment to service to his country and his community have been evident throughout his life.
An Army veteran, Acton was president and CEO of U.S. Cavalry for 31 years and is involved in a variety of community organizations supporting the members of the military and their families.
Acton moved back to Hardin County after finishing his military service because he and his wife, Patsy, liked the area when he was previously stationed at Fort Knox during his basic armor officer training.
Thirty-nine-year-old Noah Embry is both a healer and a heeler.
As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Embry applies his medical skills to help patients heal from facial injuries, among other things. As a rodeo hobbyist, Embry applies his cowboy skills to events such as team roping, in which he often serves as heeler — the person roping the hind legs of a steer.
Dave Jarrett is a U.S. Navy veteran in a sea of Army veterans in Hardin County.
Jarrett, 66, began his Navy career at the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. After graduation in 1969, his first ship went to the Middle East and he visited many ports on the Indian Ocean.
Eight years ago, Hurricane Katrina took many things away from former Louisiana resident Doug Frederick: his home, his security and most of his personal belongings.
But the devastating storm also gave him something: an appreciation for each day and the motivation to volunteer.
"You know where you've been, so you know you can give back," Frederick said.

Let's face it. It might be your brand but you no longer own it.
Brands today, are going through tectonic shifts. It is no longer defined by the constraints of the boardroom, all neatly packaged and rolled out as a fixed set of ideas. Sure, you might have a brand message. But that is not your market position. Your market position is what your customers feel about your brand. It is constantly being manipulated and motivated by the users of your brand. Your brand reality is challenged in every product, package, interaction, platform and architectural spaces. At every touch points you are now tasked to provide memorable moments that delights and deliberates. In his book, The Soft Edge, Rich Karlgaard, refers to the emotional connections as Taste. To achieve the right taste profile for your brand, Karlgaard says, "True taste kindles a products' emotional touch points."Read More

Marketing is all about making a meaningful differentiation. You simply have to look, feel and be different. Being different gets you noticed. And, "If you don't get noticed, you don't have anything."
You just have to get noticed. The challenge is how?
We live in a world of information overload. "Every two days we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003," according to former Google CEO, Eric Schmidt. Today, we are fortunate to have have way more than trillion web pages of information at our fingertips. The unfortunate part is, as humans our brains can consume only so much information at any given time. Given this digitalscape that we preside over, it is quite challenging for a brand to strike out as unique. But, if you are exhibiting at trade shows your chances of striking out as a unique brand player suddenly got a whole lot better.

As we are going through radical changes and the respect for traditional voices of authority are dwindling, so is our faith in brands are experiencing colossal erosion. Of course, this is backed by some hard data from Havas Media that conducted a series of international surveys, in which 134,000 consumers in 23 countries were asked what they thought of 700 brands. Get this, a majority of those taking part in the survey did not care if 73% of those brands simply disappeared overnight. In Europe and America, the number hikes up to 92%.

For many thousands of years the progress of humanity was painfully slow and very gradual. Perhaps the only spike in the human social growth curve was during the Hellenistic period when Greek culture gained global prominence leading to exploration of arts, literature, theatre, architecture, music, mathematics, philosophy, and science. At that growth curve gained some momentum experiencing progress and properity. But about 200 years ago something profound happened. Yes, you guessed it right!

Town Square
Will bike-sharing work on Peninsula?
Original post made on Sep 11, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Wednesday, September 11, 2013, 12:00 AM
on Sep 11, 2013 at 9:41 am
The peninsula is the perfect place for bike share. The weather here is great year round. I can't remember the last time it was below 40 degrees during the day or even the last time that it rained. While there are some hills in the west, the vast majority of homes and businesses are located in the flatlands where even the most out-of-shape resident can easily bicycle.
Traffic is increasingly terrible along the peninsula and almost every city on the peninsula is struggling with inadequate downtown parking. Bicycles take up far less space on the roads and in parking lots. At bike share stations in Palo Alto, I see 20 bikes using the same space as 2 car parking spaces.
One of the leading reasons that people currently do not use their personal bicycles to run errands is bicycle theft. Local police departments say that bicycle theft is one of the most common crimes in the Bay Area (almost as bad as iphone theft). Bike share eliminates this problem by having secure docking stations at popular destinations around town.
The only major problem with bike share is that cities have to deploy enough stations to make the system useful. Palo Alto fails by having stations in only a couple of parts of town, effectively shutting the majority of city residents out of the system. I hope that Menlo Park does not make this same mistake. Stations must be deployed in all neighborhoods, providing a network that all residents can use.
on Sep 11, 2013 at 2:18 pm
So someone renting the bicycle will either need to carry a bike lock, which defeats the purpose as noted above and be on the hook if it IS stolen, or return to a different station which hopefully isn't full. Hopefully there are GPS trackers built in.
Anyhow, bicycles are considered motor vehicles, not pedestrians and are also required to follow the vehicle code just as motor vehicles. Too often cyclists weave through stopped traffic only to ride into the cross walk and then down a sidewalk in the wrong direction. They should also pass a vehicles turning right on the vehicle's left, else T-Bone collisions will be rampant.
Unless there are public service campaign that reminds bicyclists and motorists alike of their respective responsibilities to one another, the rates of collisions are bound to increase.
on Sep 11, 2013 at 5:01 pm
You are supposed to return these bikes to their kiosks, not lock them somewhere yourself. The idea is to return it to the pool when you are not riding it. For the moment the program is only useful for those getting off the train and going to a nearby location. If the program expands into neighborhoods it would have a much wider audience, but they are starting small.
By the way, bicyclists are NOT considered the same as motor vehicles under California law. The operator of a bicycle has the same rights and responsibilities as that of the operator of a VEHICLE (not a motor vehicle) under CVC Section 11, the rules of the road. The difference between a vehicle and a motor vehicle is important.

Hamilton, Berkman in spotlight
Pair of sluggers leading respective offenses in Lone Star Series
ARLINGTON -- They are both big boys, the Big Puma for the Astros and The Hammer for the Rangers. One leads the Majors in home runs, the other in RBIs.One is 6-foot-1, 220 pounds and one of the greatest switch-hitters in the history of the game, while the other is 6-foot-3, 235 pounds and only beginning to establish his legacy as potentially one of the very best players in the game.
"The great players in this league not only have talent, but they have longevity," Young said. "They play for a long time. The great thing about Josh is, not only does he have incredible talent, but he has a hunger to be a great player."
Hamilton may have the edge on Berkman in terms of strength and speed. Berkman is five years older and has had knee surgery. But Berkman is a four-time All-Star with five seasons of at least 100 RBIs. He is a proven commodity who has taken his team to a World Series."They are both great hitters," said former Reds manager Jerry Narron, who was Hamilton's big league manager and an opposing manager in the same division as Berkman. "Berkman just has much more experience. I think with Josh, he's still learning; he's still scratching the surface. I think with Berkman this year, when you've got Miguel Tejeda and Carlos Lee around you, that means a great deal. But there is no doubt Berkman is an outstanding hitter." Both Berkman and Hamilton are, and the two sluggers are at center stage in the Lone Star Series at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

Recently in my practice we have been reviewing some of the ways we communicate with our patients. Not in terms of social media but in the basic face-to-face in-store human interaction
We are all encouraged to embrace evidence-based medicine but a recent paper has cast a light into the shadows suggesting that all may not as we might think. Grenhalgh et al1, a group embedded in EBM, have called for a re-appraisal of its methods and benefits.
The first thing I would like to see happen as a practising optometrist is an end to the outdated NHS sight test. In fact why not deregulate refraction altogether?
Having attended my local 'call to action for improving eye health and sight loss' event, I can report it was an excellent format to prompt discussion, and an evening that will have inspired attendees that optometric involvement in eye health has a very positive future

Entertainment: Not as good as we had experienced on other HAL Ships.
Food: In Rotterdam was good, however Lido was sub-standard for HAL. Lido tables are wooden with uneven ceramic tile inserts ...causing the plates to constantly wobble and vibrate. The only solution was to put you cloth napkin under the plate to eliminate the vibration noise while eating. It is unbelievable that a professional interior decorator would have chosen the tile tables for the Lido. Also the Lido serving lines were simply too small, and the dining areas were also too small/crowded. And the Lido food quality was lacking. The deserts were poorly prepared, and some were old, used meal after meal obviously. Not like HAL at all. But the main Dining Room was very good, excellent service, and the food was very good too.
Decorations: One thing great was the ever changing uniforms/decorations on Prinsedam. Halloween Party/Costumes, Egypt Costumes. etc etc.
Staterooms: Really great, larger, with walk in closets, nicely done marble showers and tubs, lots of storage shelves, really the best rooms of any HAL Ship I've sailed.
Internet...way too expensive. HAL has sub-contracted the internet out, and it is sub standard. Lots of down time, poor satellite coverage, dropped connections, and usually turned off while inport. Just terrible. We could take the lap top ashore to any dumpy waterfront cafe at use crystal clear internet for $2 U.S. per hour, but on the multi-million dollar ship couldnt even get a decent connection for $50 per hour !!!
Noro Virus....the cruise before us had a noro-virus/GIS outbreak, and the same happened to our cruise, only worse. Many, many people were ill, even crewmwmbers, even the cruise director. Very Very sick. And I have read thet after our cruise disembarked, the next cruised suffered with it too. People everwhere were sick, actually I would estimate 60-70 percent of pax and crew were ill. It was terrible, and I am surprised it did not make national/international news. We were soick 6 days of the 15 day cruise, and even missed several tours we had paid for in advance.
I will continue to cruise with HAL, but will not cruise the Prinsedam till a major overhaul of the LIDO occurs.

It's almost that time of year already, when the Black Hills will be rumbling with the engines of hundreds of thousands of motorcycles.
And the big name biker bars of Sturgis are in the home stretch of wrapping up their preparations for what just may be one of the largest Sturgis Motorcycles Rally's ever.
Robert Cappadona, Manager of the Broken Spoke Saloon says they have booked two #1 Artists, leading to a record number of reservations.
And the Buffalo Chip is expecting an explosive rally as well.
Rod Woodruff, Owner of the Buffalo Chip says they have been busy preparing by making large improvements.
He says they have doubled the size of the Crossroads Bar, paved more than 7 acres of new black top along with all their campground roads, and made numerous electrical improvements.
He says this year is going to be one for the books.
"This is going to be the most exciting year we've ever had in the rally. It's our 32nd consecutive rally. Our audience is larger than ever by far. People are coming earlier and staying longer than they ever have, and we have more stuff going on," says Woodruff.
Woodruff says the new highlight this year will be Daredevil Day where they will attempt to break the world record for the longest motorcycle ride through a tunnel of fire.

Thousands of feral cats roam Charlotte County. Now, a new group is stepping up to control the cat population.
Last week, in a first-of-its-kind effort for Charlotte County, volunteers trapped more than 30 cats.
Sunday, veterinarians spayed, neutered and vaccinated the cats. Monday, those cats were returned to where they came from.
"I sleep a lot better actually because I spent so many years caretaking for these cats and making sure we can get them spayed or neutered and make sure they can live out their lives," explains Janet Gould, President of Community Cats of Charlotte.
Her group wants to keep the feral cat population in check without euthanizing the animals.
"If we can fix about 100 cats a month, it's absolutely the most cost effective way to deal with a feral cat or a free roaming cat," Gould says.
"It's something that needs to be done. Not only from a financial standpoint for the taxpayers, but for heath issues in the county and for the animals," says Bob Starr, a former county commissioner.
As a county commissioner, he led the way to have animal control stop impounding feral cats because it was too expensive and the cats weren't getting adopted.
Community Cats of Charlotte relies on private donations to curb the feral cat population without using shelters.
"Eventually, we'll reduce the population and possibly eliminate it over a period of years," Starr says.
The group has a long way to go. Most estimate there are between 20,000 and 50,000 feral cats in the county.

New Lancashire waste plants fail to meet recycling demands
3:59pm Wednesday 7th December 2011 in Blackpool By Peter Magill , Chief reporter
WASTE plants dealing with Lancashire's rubbish are being penalised after failing to meet recycling targets – just four years into a £2billion deal.
Too much household waste is being sent to landfill, despite the construction of two new state-of-the-art recycling-friendly plants at Farington, near Leyland, and Thornton, at a cost of £283million.
And the combined inefficiencies of the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) scheme has left a near £5million hole in the county council's accounts.
Taxpayers across Lancashire are already paying £400million in interest to Australian contractors Global Renewables Ltd (GRL) over the 25-year lifetime of the £2billion PFI deal.
Waste disposal authorities now face penalties of £150 for every extra tonne, over agreed limits, which goes to landfill instead of being recycled.
County Coun Bill Winlow voiced concerns about the impact of the GRL deal at a cabinet meeting.
"Have we got any idea when we will be back on target with this?" the Preston West member asked.
Jo Turton, county council environment director, said the shortcomings of the PFI deal were 'obviously a huge pressure so it is one of our top priorities'.
"Both the Farington plant and the Thornton plant are not operating as we would want them to," she added.
"We are making significant reductions to our payments because of the lack of performance here.
"There is also the issue of the odour problems with the Farington site."
The rates going to landfill had been around 30 per cent recently, she told councillors, but checks at Thornton showed levels were at 50 per cent.
"There are very robust conversations taking place between the council to address this, with GRL," said Mrs Turton.

The Arizona Diamondbacks started the season by losing 22 of their first 30 games, but Chase Anderson is one reason why the Diamondbacks have fared far better the past month. The rookie right-hander looks to win for the fifth time in five major-league starts when Arizona hosts Atlanta in the finale of a three-game series Sunday. Anderson has benefited from strong run support, but has allowed only one earned run in three of his first four starts since making his big-league debut May 11. Aaron Harang takes the mound for Atlanta in the series finale looking to continue Atlanta's stellar starting pitching, and the Braves definitely need a strong effort after their bullpen blew two save opportunities in Saturday's 4-3 11-inning defeat. The Braves have posted 44 quality starts in their 60 games this season. Jason Heyward brings an 11-game hitting streak into the contest, extending the streak with a 10th-inning homer Saturday.TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, FSN South (Atlanta), FSN Arizona (Phoenix) PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves RH Aaron Harang (4-4, 3.24 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Chase Anderson (4-0, 3.32)Harang is winless in his past four starts despite allowing two earned runs in three of those outings. He got a no-decision June 1 at Miami, giving up two runs on five hits in 6 2/3 innings, his second consecutive start of six innings or more with two earned runs allowed. Harang, who has 10 quality starts in his 12 outings this season, is 3-8 lifetime with a 3.20 ERA in 17 career games against the Diamondbacks.Anderson has brought out the best in Arizona's offense - the Diamondbacks are averaging 10.3 runs in his four starts - but the 26-year-old has pitched well for a rotation that has struggled. He allowed one run on four hits in six innings Tuesday to lift Arizona to a 4-2 victory at Colorado. Anderson has held left-handed hitters to a .135 batting average; right-handers are batting .340 with nine extra-base hits in 47 at-bats.WALK-OFFS1. Atlanta is 32-for-41 on stolen-base attempts this season.2. Anderson has allowed four homers in his first 21 2/3 major-league innings.3. Arizona pitchers have walked only two hitters in 20 innings in the first two games of the series.PREDICTION: Diamondbacks 4, Braves 3

A very fun team shooter. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for some arcade team-based gameplay, which flows real nice and its addictive enough to keep you going till you finish the single-player portion.
It doesn't cut it as a tactical sim or an action shooter, leaving you with a strictly mediocre title.
If you like "military authenticity" but prefer button-mashing to tactical squad work, CDS is for you. [Jan 2003, p.110]

May 28, 2012This game is honestly so terrible that it's incredible. I can completely understand why people would critically take this game for what it is and give it a bad review. However, I feel this is one of those cult games that just doesn't matter about flaws. This game is awesome/terrible!… Expand
Mar 8, 2013This is a really fun game. There are a lot of things that make this game fun, including challenging missions, interesting gameplay, and just all around fun. It is not really the best shooter game out there, but I think this game is actually pretty fun and deserves more credit than it actually gets.… Collapse
Jun 3, 2012Well honestly, Conflict Desert Storm is one of those games where i doubt it has aimed particularly high. It is a great squad shooter, and the graphics were pretty good when it was released. One part I did enjoy was the diversity of weapons. It made you feel like you had achieved something and you get a burst of excitement when you get to try out your new toy. Plus the AI were realisitic most of the time and were a challange when there is 4 of you and a dozen of them plus a tank.
However, the story is very repetitive, as pretty much each mission after the training and 1st mission, is the same stuff in a different setting. I found the way to destroy a tank realisitic however it became extremely annoying when you run out of rockets in your rocket launcher and you have to send one of your guys with C4 to do the job, which usually ends up with him dying when you detonate. Also, not being able to pick up enemy weapons was a bit of a pain as well, especially when you run out of ammo with your rifle, down to your pistol and knife and there is still 1/2 a mission to go. The ammunition as well is an annoyance, as everytime you reload, no matter if you have even only fired one shot will make you throw away the whole clip,not just reduce that one shot from your main stockpile of ammunition like other games. It is an interesting game, with so much potential, however it just felt wrong in so many places. If a remake ever occurs, I would like to see an online mulitplayer with a more pleasurable experience and some new weapons, plus a better, more varying storyline for each mission and of course, modern graphics to give it that finishing touch.… Expand

The Portland Timbers are winless away from JELD-WEN Field this season and a trip to Dicks Sporting Goods Park on Saturday sure wasn't going to cure their road ills. The Colorado Rapids absolutely destroyed the Timbers, getting goals from Jaime Castrillon, Conor Casey and Jamie Smith to lead them to a comfortable 3-0 win on Saturday evening.
Hunter Freeman did much of the work on the first goal, getting up the right and creating space to cross. He found Castrillon in the center, who needed just one touch to redirect the ball on goal for the opening tally. A mere five minutes later, the lead was doubled by Casey, who somehow managed to get away from two defenders to give the home side a 2-0 lead going into halftime.
The Timbers didn't manage much of anything all match. At no point was Colorado in trouble, while Portland were fending off Rapids attacks all match. Finally in the 90th minute, Smith, who was making his return from a torn ACL, got free for a simple tap in to cap a commanding performance by the Rapids as the Timbers' road woes continued.

Team up with other Milroy Elementary dads and kids for a before school breakfast and brief program. The Milroy All Pro Dad's will meet from 7:15 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 15. You will want to enter through door #13 at the Milroy Cafeteria.
All Pro Dads was the idea of former Colts Coach Tony Dungy. This is just a great way to connect with our kids in a positive way, say organizers. This school-based program brings dads together with their kids at their child's school. Dads gather monthly with their children and other dads to discuss topics relevant to school-age children and to take part in other activities. All Pro Dads is excited to be partnering with the National PTA to put All Pro Dad's Days chapters in more than 1,000 schools nationwide.
The All Pro Dads program has the backing and support of several current and former NFL players. All Pro Dad's 53 NFL spokesmen are a group of coaches, players and alumni dedicated to their families and proud to be advocates for fatherhood. Tony Dungy, Mike Tomlin and many other men exemplify passion, discipline, work ethic, commitment and loyalty both on and off the field and in their homes. Jim Sorji (former Colts Quarterback) said it best when he remembered, "Coach Dungy taught me a lot over the years, but the most important lesson was that being a father is my most important responsibility."
RSVP to Shawn Frakes at email@example.com Join us for a little breakfast, a little bonding and a lot of fun.

Zach in IL
If you don't have a set of soft hooks, I would recommend you get yourself some. they save your bars from getting ate up from your tie downs. if your tie downs have rubberized hooks, the soft hooks keep the rubber from tearing and keep your tie downs rust free. great product!Read All Reviews

I'm happy with these tiedowns. Very convenient and easy to use with the carabiner and the soft loop. But, be aware that if they get wet they may slip. My bike flopped over on the trailer in the rain. Always put those hitches in the tail end and tight.Read All Reviews

These are heavy duty, but the retractor springs are not strong enough to wind up the strap all the way. Also, The locking mechanism gets stuck open when tightening the strap so sometime you need to use one hand to tighten the strap and one to hold the locking mechanism/stop plate in place. I have oiled them and that has helped, but still experiencing issues with them.Read All Reviews

Zionsville —
Zionsville started the process of annexing most of Worth Township just one day after a referendum question on the Nov. 6 ballot that would have combined Whitestown and Worth Township failed.
The Zionsville Town Council had a special meeting Wednesday morning, Nov. 7, to begin the process of annexing Worth Township east of County Road 650 East, except for the area that is in Whitestown.
Officials from Whitestown and Worth Township drafted a reorganization plan, which was defeated during the general election by a final tally of 61 percent of the votes (1,120) to 39 percent (716). The defeat of the referendum question opened the door for Zionsville.
Town Manager Ed Mitro said discussions with residents of Worth Township began a couple of months ago.
"There was some discussion among the 60 percent (who voted down the question)," he said. "They did not feel comfortable becoming part of Whitestown; so, we are affording them the chance to become part of Zionsville."
Council President Tim Haak said the council did not discuss the annexation until the residents contacted Zionsville.
"The people in Worth Township approached us first and foremost," he said. "They said they would rather be in Zionsville than Whitestown because there was a possibility that Whitestown would have annexed the area even if the reorganization failed."
