Transformers: The Movie ballad, "The Touch," is heading to Guitar Hero -- for free. The drive started when Kotaku blogger, Michael Fahey, refused to give up on helping Bush see his wish to have the song featured in Guitar Hero and/or Rock Band granted. After exchanging emails with Bush himself, Fahey looked to his blog's readers to pester Activision and Harmonix until one (or both) caved.
Earlier this week, Bush contacted Transformers resource site, Seibertron, and dropped the bomb: "The Touch" would be made available in Guitar Hero -- presumably World Tour -- for free (exactly when, though, is still unknown). The grateful Bush then wrote in to personally thank Fahey and the fans who made it all possible. Oh internet, is there anything you can't do?

F1 "already very close to 2013 performance" – Pirelli
2014 F1 season
Formula One teams are not far off achieving the levels of performance seen with last year's cars, according to Pirelli.
Motorsport director Paul Hembery said: "As the lap times in Bahrain have shown, we're already very close to 2013 levels of performance, despite much smaller capacity engines and a completely fresh set of technical challenges."
The fastest time of last week's test, set by Nico Rosberg, was less than a second off the pole position time he set last year.
Hembery said Pirelli's tyres for the new season will not degrade as severely as last year's rubber did: "The contact patch is greater, to help put down the extra torque, and the working ranges are wider to reduce degradation."
"It's still early days, but so far we've seen both performance and durability from our latest P Zero tyres, which all feature new compounds and structures to maximise the unique power characteristics of the latest-generation cars," he added.
Hembery expects teams to concentrate more on tyre work in the final four-day test which begins tomorrow: "We saw more work on tyres at the recent Bahrain test than there had been at the very first test in Jerez, and with teams likely to be attempting more qualifying and race simulations this week in preparation for the opening grand prix, we would expect this upward curve of tyre work to continue over the final four days in Bahrain."

Some, like Herm Edwards of ESPN, do not see an issue with Johnny Manziel's trip to Las Vegas over Memorial Day weekend. Well, the rest of us ARE EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!
So what if Manziel is 21 years old. He's really only been legally allowed to drink for a little over five months. With his boyish looks and baby face, he might still be able to get a citation for underage drinking. So what if, according to the National Institute of Health, younger people are able to metabolize and breakdown alcohol quicker so that it stays in their bodies for a shorter period of time compared to older persons. Manziel was only 105 days away from the Cleveland Browns first game of the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers (September 7th). That's not nearly enough recovery time!
Disregarding what the CDC and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism have to say on the subject, I refuse to believe that physically fit people (with lower body fat percentages and more muscle mass) will not have as high of blood alcohol levels compared to their unfit counterparts: there is no way Manziel will be over the side effects of May's debauchery by the start of the season.
I don't care, University of Rochester Medical Center, if the body can "generally metabolize about one average drink every hour." I presume Johnny had more than 1,824 shots of Patrón over the weekend which means he still won't be ready in time for the first preseason game against the Detroit Lions (7:30 PM, August 9th). That's very worrisome.
Obviously, one has to ignore science at a time like this and treat the situation as if it were January, moments before a playoff game. Overlook the facts. Ignore the research. Science is for cowards and nerds, the types of people ESPN's former-player analysts used to shove inside lockers as they strolled through the halls of their respective high schools.
Mark Brunell said it best on SportsCenter: "I wanna know that the future of my franchise isn't going to fly to Vegas every time he's got two or three days off. It's about professionalism."
Brunell is exactly right. Franchise quarterbacks don't just go off to extravagant places to attend vivacious parties during the off season. The gym rats, the Tom Bradys of the world, are studying film and preparing, 24/7, in the offseason and especially on holidays!
(Carnival is typically in March, people. Brady is responsible enough to do his vacationing six months before the season starts. Johnny Football had the gull to do it within 4 months of game 1!)
Mr. Manziel should be ashamed. It's ludicrous that he thinks he should be able to take part in the same activity that the average NFL tailgater takes part in (beginning at 5 AM every Sunday in the fall). It's my job to puke a mixture of Coors Light and bratwurst on a seven-year-old girl sitting in front of me during a game. Johnny's job is to win football games. He doesn't have the right to fly to Vegas on a whim and drink responsibly this close to the season! He needs to stay away from all of that each and every day of the year because he's a player. Right?
"He's gotta be more responsible," said one repulsed Jets fan.
He has a job to do (not unlike the millions of Americans that ignored that very same fact before going back to work the Tuesday after Memorial Day).
Most NFL fans have never tried alcohol and it's not an issue in stadiums across the country, hence why the criticism of Manziel from the masses is well-warranted and we're the ones who should rightfully be condemning his behavior.
Even more bothersome, he robbed us of the chance to duly criticize him by not getting arrested on an alcohol-related charge during his highly publicized trip. How inconsiderate. By not getting arrested or committing a crime, he chose not to become a part of a growing issue among his (under criticized) peers. What nerve.
This is the United States of America, Mr. Manziel. As Americans, we have the unalienable right to criticize any of our citizens that imbibe alcohol, no matter the amount or how responsibly, without necessarily having to turn the microscope on ourselves. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that only 51.3 % of adults, 18 years of age or older, were "regular drinkers." We expect you not to be one of them, especially not on Memorial Day, in the month of May, this close to the NFL season.

The Holiday: Chapter OneThe Holiday: Chapter One How I detest Mondays. Of course this dislike is deliciously cliché, but I feel entirely justified in my frustration. This particular Monday was presenting itself as one of the worst in quite some time: indeed, I had only been observing rehearsal for an hour and already my head was throbbing.The usual was taking place, only exaggerated to such an extent that had I been in good health, I would have been doubled over with laughter. Signora Guidicelli was persistently griping about God knows what at the top of her operatic lungs, blurring her French and Italian into one indistinguishable mess. Something akin to pity rose up when I surveyed the poor conductor: he looked utterly exhausted and had long ago abandoned arguing with the diva, instead electing to take a well-deserved nap in the orchestra pit. The acting manager looked no better: he continually raked his ha

The Mango Spa House's crack team of massage therapists and facial specialists lavishes the mind and body with a wide array of services such as waxing, reflexology massages, and facials. From the forehead to the feet, waxologists eliminate unwanted tufts, clearing away fuzz from the legs and bikini area for women and the chest and man-tini area for men. Aestheticians harness microcurrent technology for body-sculpting and facial treatments, whereas massage therapists mend musculatures with hand-applied Swedish, trigger-point, or reflexology kneadings that soothe away stress left over from a job interview's bomb-defusing section. The Mango Spa House also partners with local practitioners who come in to perform everything from acupuncture to detox massages.
All salon service providers are not created equal. That's why Drew James Aveda Lifestyle Salon Spas enlists only Aveda Institute graduates, putting them through an advanced training program before making them work their way up a three-tier ranking system. This emphasis on high-quality staff—coupled with an exclusive selection of plant-based Aveda products—lures clients in for services ranging from basic haircuts to thermal straightening to rosemary-mint body wraps. The salon and spa also adds special touches to many of its treatments, including a complimentary stress-relieving scalp treatment and makeup touchup with each hair service. Both locations feature a wall of mirrors and trendy styling chairs, as well as Aveda tea for clients to sip on while thumbing through style portfolios or folding magazines into swans somehow.
Winners of multiple awards from Local10.com, the stylists at Xanadu Salon & Spa maintain a beauty oasis, a stress-free haven where they pamper guests with everything from hair and nail care to facials and massages. Some are licensed Aveda Institute graduates who tame tresses with an arsenal of products, including Aveda, Paul Mitchell, and Pureology. As delicious as they are effective, their chocolate or milk and honey body scrubs help reduce the appearance of cellulite while softening skin. In addition to keeping skin healthy, technicians also help bods look their sharpest with airbrush makeup, eyelash extensions, and tanning services.
Beauty of Wax has banished unwanted body hair with waxing services in a clean and relaxed environment for 17 years. During that time, the salon has developed a specialty for the meticulous task of sculpting eyebrows. Using natural beeswax, the staff remove stray hairs to frame the eyes and stop constant comparisons to Groucho Marx. They retain the same attention to detail when waxing any portion of the body or applying Swarovski-cut crystals to the bikini zone. Using techniques such as cavitation, vacuum therapy, passive gymnastics, radio-frequency therapy, and body wrapping, in addition to an array of facials and relaxing massage services, won the spot the Hollywood Gazette's 2010 award for Best Place to Be Pampered.
Since 1974, Hollywood Institute of Beauty Careers' dedicated instructors have edified spa and salon hopefuls in the tricks of the beauty-boosting trade. Under the watchful eye of a seasoned professional, each soon-to-be beautician performs a variety of services on visitors to earn the certification of a license massage therapist or the gilded epaulettes of an aesthetician. At both the Hollywood and Miami Beach locations, clients can help students achieve their goals by simply indulging in rejuvenating facials, stylish cuts and colors, and relaxing rubdowns.
Carla Cardoso had one question in mind when she opened Massage Rio Spa: "what can I do to help people?" A massage therapist, aesthetician, and practical nurse by trade, Carla realized that she had many ways to help others relax and feel beautiful.
She draws on her diverse skill set at Massage Rio Spa, alleviating stress with barefoot shiatsu massages in the morning and soothing skin with deep-cleansing facials by the afternoon. Carla is joined by a team of similarly skilled technicians who specialize in massages, facials, waxing, and airbrush tanning. Clients can even get an application of permanent makeup, which saves the hassle of getting ready in your neighbor's bathroom every morning.

Is the combination of fluoxetine, Naprelan, and Alprazolam safe to take?
- Q: I am taking fluoxetine, prescribed by my family doctor. A rheumotologist prescribed Naprelan for my arthritis. I take Alprazolam occasionally to sleep. Are these combinations safe?
- A: If fluoxetine and alprazolam must be used together, close observation is recommended for increased adverse effects. Patients should be warned about excessive drowsiness and potential adverse effects on their psychomotor and driving skills. Caution is advised if SSRIs (e.g., fluoxetine) are used in combination with other drugs that affect hemostasis. Close clinical and laboratory observation for hematologic complications is recommended. Patients should be advised to promptly report any signs of bleeding to their physician, including pain, swelling, headache, dizziness, weakness, prolonged bleeding from cuts, increased menstrual flow, vaginal bleeding, nosebleeds, bleeding of gums from brushing, unusual bleeding or bruising, red or brown urine, or red or black stools. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your specific condition and current medications. Shereen A. Gharbia, PharmD

SCOTT COUNTY, KY (WAVE) – A Kentucky couple catches a US Postal Service worker tossing packages into their driveway!
Surveillance cameras were rolling on the Scott County couple's driveway. There is even a sign next to their mailbox that says their property is being monitored. The worker launched the packages out the window of the mail truck, one of which was a brand new tablet.
"I was astounded! I could barely talk," said Jill Smith, the homeowner. "I just ran and got my husband and said you have to watch this."
USPS released this statement, "It is very disappointing and does not represent the kind of service we strive to provide our customers."
Amazon has agreed to replace the broken tablet.

FOX 47 - Health News
MADISON (WMSN) -- New research shows tanning is more than just skin deep. It can be addictive.
How addictive? As much as cocaine or heroin.
In a Fox 47 News Special Report, experts in Madison spoke about the story have to say about the study.
"That's so true because once your convinced you're more tan you're more beautiful - all the girls will love you," said Patient Scott Rouse, Fitchburg resident.
Rouse says his love affair with tanning began as a teenager in the 1970's when he and his friends would lay out in Ft. Atkinson during those hot Wisconsin summers.
"We were driven by this need to be dark we were out between 1 and 4 p.m. and the baby oil was Johnson & Johnson we'd slap that on," said Rouse.
Years later - he's found the consequences from it.
"I noticed a little thing growing on my cheek here. It turns out it was basal cell carcinoma," said Rouse.
Basil cell carcinoma is the most common and least lethal type of skin cancer. The now 58-year-old has had three more cancers removed. Scott is not alone with the burning desire to be dark.
Dr. Bryan Baldo researches food addictions in rat's brains.
He says findings in "The Journal Addiction Biology" sheds new light on why despite warnings - people still go tanning.
"When you scan the brain the same brain structures that light up in response to drugs and reward are lighting up when an individual is in a tanning salon," said Dr. Bryan Baldo, UW Researcher.
He says this shines light on what's happens when you go under UV.
"It would produce symptoms that were very similar to heroin addicts for example. How that happens I'm not sure yet but its a fascinating insight," said Baldo.
Steve Rouse's dermatologist, Dr. Robert McDonald says a study back in 2005 might explain why.
"When a person is shielded out of all the light their brain didn't light up the same way as they did with real UV light. It suggests that a reaction in the skin is happening that the brain can detect," said Dr. Robert McDonald, Dermatologist with Dean Clinic.
Which shows the addiction - is UV light.
"The American Academy of Dermatology put a lot of money in to a campaign for several years and found out even after this was completed it made no difference," said Dr. McDonald.
The Skin Cancer Foundation found about 30 million Americans use tanning beds each year.
"He [Scott Rouse] has very sun damaged skin and will continue to get multiple skin cancers so he can turn it around if he wears a hat and shirt," said Dr. McDonald.
"I haven't been in a tanning bed for 6 years even though I was a weekly user several years before that. So, you live by your mistakes I guess," said Rouse.

As president of Casiano Communications, Kimberly Casiano has taken bicultural business skills to a new level of influence, managing the production of 11 magazines in both English and Spanish that reach thousands of readers, and establishing a broad network of clients and contacts that stretches from New York to Texas to San Juan.
Ms. Casiano's business skills and acumen led to her recent appointment to Ford Motor Co.'s board of directors, putting her at the table of one of the most powerful boards in North America and highlighting the success she has achieved in blending her culture of Puerto Rico with her business interests on the mainland.
"Being Hispanic bicultural has helped me to be more sensitive and responsive to different cultures, different mentalities, different ways of doing business," Ms. Casiano says. "In today's world, where globalization touches our everyday lives with increasing frequency, being able to function effectively in different cultures is a tremendous asset."
That has helped Ms. Casiano position and advance the company founded in the 1970s by her father, Manuel Casiano Jr. Casiano Communications publishes Caribbean Business, a 45,000-circulation English-language weekly covering economic news; Imagen , the 70,000-circulation leading woman's magazine on the island; Puerto Rico Travel & Tourism, a bilingual trade publication; Vida Actual, a 96,000-circulation weekly Spanish-language newspaper; and specialized publications for the bridal, health, parenting, and home decoration markets.
In recent years, Ms. Casiano's ventures have had a technological as well as marketing slant. The company owns www.PuertoRicoWow.com, an Internet portal with more than 7 million hits per month. The call-center subsidiary Direct ResponSource handles bilingual direct marketing projects targeting the Caribbean and U.S. Hispanic markets for large corporations.
"I love the variety of businesses that I have the privilege of serving," says Ms. Casiano. "In the two main areas of my business the publications side and the call center and contact center side our clients include businesses from virtually every sector you can think of, from banking to telecommunications, and of all sizes, from small family-owned to Fortune 500."
Ms. Casiano's education and entrepreneurial experience have helped hone her skills. She attended Princeton University and obtained an MBA from Harvard. In 1981, she founded Caribbean Marketing Overseas Corp., an import/export firm, with offices in San Juan and Washington, D.C. In 1988, she returned to Puerto Rico and Casiano Communications.
"She's a Harvard graduate, so we have the best of both worlds," says Olga Jimenez, vice-president in charge of Casiano Communications' bilingual call center. "She has that Ivy League background, but she hasn't let go of her Hispanic culture."
Ms. Casiano says that while her management style predominantly reflects the American way of doing business, it also incorporates other elements. "The area where my management style reflects Hispanic culture is that I like to combine business with a more personal, warm touch for example, doing business while sharing a meal [and] taking the time to learn about a person and their family before jumping directly into business," she says.
Those who know Ms. Casiano say this trait has served the entrepreneur well. "Before getting involved in any business venture, Kim does her homework," says Elizabeth Lisboa-Farrow, CEO of public relations firm Lisboa Inc. and former chair of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC). "She will not take anything on unless she can devote the time and energy needed to be successful. She challenges, deliberates, and when she decides on closure she goes for it."
In addition to her business interests, Ms. Casiano has found time and energy to devote to philanthropic organizations. She currently sits on the board of the Hispanic College Fund and for eight years has organized an annual fund-raiser for the American Cancer Society of Puerto Rico. "When you need a champion for a community cause, people look to her," says Milton Cruz, CEO of San Pablo Health System. "She has a lot of energy, which is the one thing I most admire in a leader. … When she has an objective, she has an instinct of how to lift people to that objective."
Ms. Casiano says the model for her charity and board involvement has been her family. Her father was a founder of ASPIRA, a social service organization that ranks second among U.S. Hispanic-focused nonprofit groups (see May 2003, "The Hispanic Business Nonprofit 25"). Her mother Nora Jimenez de Casiano was the first Hispanic to serve on the national board for the Girl Scouts of America. And her husband Juan Woodroffe was a founder of the USHCC and currently sits on the board of the U.S.-Mexico Chamber of Commerce.
Ms. Casiano's own board seats include the influential Ford Motor Co. post, to which she was named last December and which propelled her into an elite group. Hispanics hold about 1.6 percent of the approximately 5,900 seats of Fortune 500 corporations. In making the announcement, CEO Bill Ford called her "a respected leader and entrepreneur in the world of magazine publishing and in the U.S. Hispanic business community."
"Corporate America will successfully penetrate the Hispanic market when we are represented in the boardroom, at the executive level, and in procurement opportunities. Ford Motor Company is to be commended for her appointment," says Ms. Lisboa.
Looking back, Ms. Casiano cites her biggest challenge as developing the mindset to push forward without excuses. "I never approached any situation believing that because I was a woman or a Hispanic, I was at a disadvantage," she says. "I never allowed being a woman or a Hispanic to be a crutch or an excuse for not succeeding. My parents taught me to focus entirely on merit. Merit is the great equalizer."
That focus has proved its value throughout her competitive life. "In the 1970s, when I entered Princeton University and then Harvard Business School, very few students were women. Even fewer were Hispanic women," Ms. Casiano recalls. "Sometimes people insinuated that I was at these schools because of affirmative action. But I was confident of my academic merits and never allowed myself to have a chip on my shoulder and react irrationally and emotionally to these insinuations."
Now, Ms. Casiano counsels other Hispanic professional women to adopt a merit-based approach. "Do not approach a situation with the mentality that because you are a Hispanic woman it will be tougher for you because, I guarantee you, your mentality will become a self-fulfilling prophecy," she cautions. "Rely on your merits. Focus on being an exceptional and capable professional who just happens to be a Hispanic woman."

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – With power outages all over the city of Albany, some people improvised to stay warm.
A fire was burning in a barrel in the 500 block of Poplar Street around 11:00AM. Eugene Kennedy and his friends say the power went out at 4:00AM.
They broke apart some wooden crates and made a fire to stay warm.
"We can't cook no coffee, we can't get no heat, and we hungry 'cause we can't cook," Kennedy said.
Kennedy says he was most concerned about his elderly and young neighbors who were cold and without power for extended amounts of time.

Hello, folks.
Just want to weigh in with a thought I couldn't conveniently drop into an active thread: The Chelsea Football Club youth set up and loan arrangements (particularly Vitesse) exist primarily as a "footballer factory" and not to develop players for the first team. Developing players for the first team is a welcome byproduct.
I found myself getting increasingly frustrated that McEachern, then Chalobah, then Lukaku, ... couldn't get much of a sniff on the first team. They had to be loaned, etc. Some loans go well, some go poorly. We get all excited about U21 players. Either way, for the most part, only one in 100 will ever be first team material.
I know you guys figured this out before I did, but it finally occurred to me: the goal is to buy low, train better than every other club, promote the talent, sell high. It's about subsidizing the first team operation through the buying and selling of young talent, the vast majority of which will never be real Chelsea quality.
Will we ever see Kalas again? Not sure, but he certainly looked nice in the shop window at season's end. Piazon? Doubt it. Andreas Christensen? Omeruo? Bamford? Maybe not. But all of these are in excellent position to be sold for profit, thus SUBSIDIZING the purchases of the Fabregasbags and Costas of the world -- people who have already demonstrated they can run with the big dogs season after season.
Mourinho, in particular, is first and foremost about reducing risk.
Despite what he says about a different era and youth, etc ... he's about winning titles, not babysitting, cultivating, nurturing, promoting youth. I might criticize him for other reasons, but not this one. He wants to win and keep on the good side of FFP if possible. If, on occasion, a world class talent emerges from the farm, so be it. In the meantime, there are young eggs to sell.

Two Funerals and a Prayer -- Tech Goodbyes for 2001
by Derrick Story
I won't ask the question, "How could so much change so quickly in the technology world?" because I already know the answer: "That's the way it is." Instead, I thought I'd take a minute to say goodbye to two of my favorite tech-related joys that no longer exist -- and cross my fingers for the third.
Many start-ups closed down in 2001, but I hated to see Eazel cease operations in May. Their goal of bringing a truly beautiful, innovative desktop environment to Linux (called Nautilus) was important from my perspective. I wanted to see Linux thrive on laptops and desktops everywhere, and I liked the look and feel of the environment Eazel created. They had a terrific team who embraced open source ideals, and I miss their work. If you're looking for some good talent to hire, you might want to check out the Eazel Alumni page.
There are lots of web sites that I miss, but the one vanishing that brought tears to my eyes was when AdCritic.com closed its doors. This site was an endless source of entertainment for me as I watched countless QuickTime videos of ads, spoofs, and countless other two-minute delights. AdCritic is offline until further notice, and there's nothing else like them on the Net.
Finally, the lizard isn't dead, but he sure was quiet in 2001. The Mozilla project team has continued to publish new builds and refine its set of inter-related technologies, but they still haven't managed to publish version one (we're currently at build 0.9.7). According to the Mozilla 1.0 Manifesto, we might see version one sometime in the spring of 2002.
In the meantime, the progress of .NET, Mac OS X, Liberty, and other emerging platforms and services threatens to leave Mozilla behind.
I've already said goodbye to too many innovative, intelligent tech friends in 2001, and I don't feel like losing another. So I'm still pulling for the big lizard.
What tech-related sites and businesses do you miss?

text: A not guilty plea Friday in District Court from a woman accused of setting her house on fire. 46-year-old Hermalinda Ramirez is charged with arson and two counts of assault with a weapon. Billings police say she admitted to burning her own house February 12th. Court documents show Ramirez had a metal pipe wrench in her bag the night of the fire. She told police she got angry after thinking people stole from her so she went to a Conoco store and purchased a gallon of gas to pour around the house. A police investigation shows Ramirez went to her sister's house after and threatened to hit her sister and nephew with the metal wrench.

The regimen of antirejection drugs taken by heart transplant patients hasn't changed much in 25 years. The standard immunosuppressants are calcineurin inhibitors-drugs such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus. But because calcineurin inhibitors cause kidney dysfunction, 10% of patients need hemodialysis or a kidney transplant within 5 to 10 years of heart transplant, researchers said. And 50% of patients develop coronary artery disease (CAD) within 10 years of transplant, leading to a second heart transplant or death.
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic studied 78 heart transplant patients over 4 years. The patients spent 6 months on calcineurin inhibitors, then were gradually transitioned to sirolimus, an immunosuppressant with no calcineurin inhibition activity. This strategy helped improve kidney function and reduce the development of CAD without raising the heart rejection rate or affecting heart function.
The findings were reported at the recent meeting of the International Society for Heart & Lung Transplantation in San Francisco, Calif.
Although often considered a last resort, decompressive craniectomy may help children with traumatic brain injury, according to results of a study reported at the recent American Association of Neurological Surgeons' meeting in Washington, D.C. Removing a section of bone from the skull lets the brain expand, reducing intracranial pressure (ICP) and improving cerebral perfusion.
Researchers looked at records of 23 pediatric patients treated with decompressive craniectomy between January 1995 and April 2006. Postoperative control of ICP was achieved in 19 patients. The mean patient age at the time of craniectomy was about 12 years. Seven patients died during or after surgery. Thirteen of the surviving patients recovered well enough to resume school. Of the seven surviving patients who are now over age 18, three are living independently and four are or have been employed.
Overall, researchers found that 65% of patients receiving craniectomy had favorable outcomes (defined as good recovery or moderate disability) and 9% had severe disability on long-term follow-up. Researcher Jay Jagannathan, MD, of the University of Virginia Health Sciences Center, said that craniectomy can help control ICP in children with traumatic brain injury and may help them achieve a reasonable quality of life.

Business minds moulded at Twickenham school
1:50am Sunday 29th June 2014 in News By Tom Ambrose, Reporter
Newland House School is helping pupils build entrepreneurial skills by setting up their own mini-businesses.
The Putting Young Minds to Work programme, developed by Nikki de Bruin and Elena Macia of Stride, is an interactive course helping children with planning and pitching business ideas.
Year 6 girls at the school in Waldegrave Park, Twickenham, started the programme eight weeks ago and have been taught about product development, costing, budgeting, marketing and sales and business planning.
David Alexander, headmaster at Newland House School, said: "I am delighted the girls have had the opportunity to participate in this exciting initiative.
"It is vital that young people of today appreciate and are prepared for life after school and I have enjoyed watching the girls plan their adventure with passion and enthusiasm."

Impacts Of Advertising And Promotion On The Demand For Scanned Purchases Of Vidalia Onions
AbstractThis study evaluates the promotion and advertising impacts on the demand for scanned purchases of Vidalia onions and estimates returns to promotion expenditures. The analysis uses supermarket scanner data collected from scanned purchases of Vidalia onions and promotion expenditures generated by the Vidalia Onion Marketing Order. An error-components model is estimated to determine the impacts of promotion expenditures for scanned purchases of Vidalia onions, own price, prices of substitutes and complements, demographics, and seasonal variables for 10 different markets over a 260-week period from 1996 to 2001.

Keeping A Close Eye On Those Medical Bills
I recently had to have a kidney stone removed. The hospital estimated the cost of the procedure, and offered me a 20% discount – if I paid my portion on the day of the procedure. I paid the estimated amount and had the procedure.
Today, I received the actual explanation of benefits from my insurance company. I am happy to report that my portion of the cost of the procedure is several hundred dollars less than the amount I paid to the hospital. When estimating my portion, the hospital included my full deductible, unaware that, due to several doctors' visits prior to the procedure, I had already met most of my deductible.
I called the hospital and spoke to the billing department. A refund for the overpayment has been issued. I should receive it in a week or so.
It's always a good idea to check – and then recheck – your medical bills. Many insurance companies now allow you to view your account information online. This makes it very easy to view recent activity and to check account balances.
I have heard of healthcare providers like hospitals giving discounts if you pay the bill quickly. But if you have insurance, how do you know what portion of the bill to pay? Or did you pay the full amount, knowing you'd had to wait for the insurance company to reimburse you? that would make me uncomfortable.
If you pay your bill up front before insurance adjudicates the bill, be aware of a few things: 1. many providers if paid up front in full do not submit the bill to the insurance companies (no reason to as they got paid already) so check to make sure they still send the bill out to insurance co.. 2. when bills from providers are sent to insurance companies, there is a place to check on the bill to send payment to insured, not provider-ask them to check the correct box. 3. pend bill and call both insurance company and provider to make sure they are all on same page. Make sure if in-network provider you also get the in-network discount, because paying up front the girl taking your check has no clue as to what the discount should be. If you don't get the discount from in-network you still will be paying more then you should have even if you get the "pay upfront" discount". You are being cheated, and I have seen that happen a number of times. I think it is an innocent cheat though.
Medical billing errors are common and your insurance company won't notice all (or even most) of them. It is up to the consumer to find them. It isn't easy because medical billing and coding is so arcane and providers are not that interested in helping you pay them less.
I've found numerous errors over the years and "saved" thousands by working to have them corrected. One recent episode ended up saving some other folks money too, as I documented here: http://theincidentaleconomist.com/medical-billing-errors/
I have some health-insurance, and the costs are sometimes so prohibitive that I've often assumed that an error must have occurred. I know from now on that I'll give my next bill a second, third, and fourth look over.
On another note, I live in California and I thought there was some bill in place that limited the amount a hospital could charge you if you self-pay for health insurance? Does anybody know anything about this – or if this is the case in other states, too?
Good job checking everything out regarding the billing. Most people would just pay the bill and forget about it. And my condolences on the kidney stone – I've had them and they are murder!
I am so glad I passed by kidney stone on my own….I can't imagine having to have to pay to get it removed.
I am an RN and strongly recommend that each person ask for a detailed list of the expenses from a hospital stay. Go through each item (with an RN friend) and check charges. For example, what are you charged when they start an IV? sometimes you will see charges for 3 IV catheters. Really, did you have 3 IV's? Probably not. It they missed the first 2 times and got a vein the 3rd you shouldn't have to pay for that. If someone inadvertently contamintated the sterile field during a procedure for something simple like a urinary catheter or as big as in the operating room setup, should you suck it up and pay? NO!
Now there is a new law that says if there is a medical error you don't pay for the treatment for that error. For example, if it is documented that you are allergic to morphine and they give you morphine, you don't pay for all the events that occurred to treat that. For some, that could be thousands of dollars from a Code Blue…..

Highland Lakes Newspapers
With the heat of another Texas summer here, many Llano residents are heading to the pool.
They've surely noticed something different there this year.
Between some generous donations from local businesses, plus matching funds from the city, one local couple has taken it upon themselves to make the city pool a nicer destination for the whole family.

Project Background
In 1959, San Luis Obispo County secured the rights to 17,500 acre-feet of water per year from Lake Nacimiento. Today, construction of the Nacimiento Water Project (Project), the single largest project that San Luis Obispo County has ever undertaken, has been completed. The total cost of the project, including design, construction, environmental permitting, and right-of-way, was $176 million.
Project Description
This regional Project consists of a multi-port sloping intake facility at Lake Nacimiento with a pump station, two intermediate pump stations, three storage tanks, a control system, and approximately 45 miles of transmission pipeline ranging from 36- to 12-inches in diameter, with the ability to deliver 15,750 acre-feet of raw water each year to communities within San Luis Obispo County.
The $176.1-million Project is owned, managed and operated by the San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District). It is the District's largest project ever constructed by a factor of six, and serves as an icon of collaboration between communities within San Luis Obispo County. The Participants in the Project are the City of Paso Robles, Templeton Community Services District, Atascadero Mutual Water Company, the City of San Luis Obispo, and Community Services Area 10, Benefit Zone A.
The Board of Supervisors took action to award Specs 01, 03, 04, 05 on August 28, 2007 and Spec 02 on September 11, 2007. Notices to Proceed were issued on October 2007, allowing construction to begin.
The Project began operations on January 7, 2011.

Maryland football needs a lot of help. Stefon Diggs can't play defensive back or throw the ball to himself or call plays or tackle, but he can do just about everything else. After a quiet first game, Diggs is making the most of his snaps against Temple early on.
Diggs -- with 60 all purpose yards -- leads the #Terps in rushing, receiving and return yards after the first quarter.— Jakob Engelke (@Jakob_Engelke) September 8, 2012
Diggs was one of the most highly-recruited 2012 players for a reason. That reason is that he has the potential to dazzle whenever he has the ball. The problem, of course, is getting said ball to him.
If the Terps have any shot at winning more than three or four games this year, it'll be because Perry Hills improves as the season goes on -- and Diggs gets the ball in space in creative ways, whether it's through screens, orbits, direct snaps, returns, slants or deep routes.

Since 2006 we have heard about the unfortunate loss of honey bee colonies in North America and elsewhere. The decline in the number of bees is both shocking and frightening and blamed on a number of causes.
Additionally, there's been much discussion about the lack of Monarch butterflies this past summer.
Anyone can implement a few minor changes to make their outdoor spaces more welcoming for both bees and butterflies.
Even using just one of these ideas can be beneficial. As is often said, one small step can make a difference...

72 NH Boy Scouts to depart for 2013 national jamboree
Byrne and the other Scouts from troops throughout New Hampshire were headed to the 2013 National Scout Jamboree.
The Summit will be the permanent home for the Boy Scouts of America national jamboree, held every four years.
Scouts, who must have achieved at least first class status, have to apply to attend and must raise $1,800 for the trip.
Byrne said her son is really looking forward to the challenges of zip line courses and white-water rafting. "He's ecstatic," said Byrne.
Participants were encouraged to bring their cellphones. Byrne said there is an app that makes it easier to keep track of activities.
The jamboree is July 15-24, but the New Hampshire Scouts are traveling to West Virginia by bus, so they won't be back until July 26.
