Why I'm Like This: True Stories (Paperback)
Not currently shipping from publisher – Subject to future availability
Cynthia Kaplan takes us on a hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking journey through her unique, uncensored world—her bungled romantic encounters and unsung theatrical experiences; her gadget-obsessed father, her pill-popping therapist, and her eccentric grandmothers; her fearless husband, whom she engages in an ongoing battle over which of them is the most popular person in their apartment; and, of course, her vengeful, power-hungry one-year-old son.
Kaplan's voice is a lot like the one in our heads—the one that most of us are only willing to listen to late at night . . . maybe while locked in a closet. What a relief it is that someone finally admits that she is afraid of nearly everything; that she is jealous even of people whose lives are on the verge of collapse; and that she has, at times, tried to pass for a gentile.
About the Author
Writer and actress Cynthia Kaplan's essays have been published in many newspapers, magazines, and anthologies, and she is the author of the collection Why I'm Like This. She has appeared in clubs, theaters, and on film, but never on Law & Order. She lives in New York City with her husband and children.

American Screenwriters Association
The American Screenwriters Association (ASA) is a community of screenwriters and filmmakers, sharing their combined knowledge of screenwriting and the movie industry as a whole. Its primary mission is to help emerging screenwriters hone their screenwriting skills and market their screenplays[1] They encourage dialogue between screenwriters, producers, filmmakers, actors, and industry to ensure mutual success. They seek new avenues to promote and market their members' screenplays, and develop new relationships within the industry to increase member visibility.[2]
American Screenwriters Association was founded in 1996 by John E. Johnson in Cincinnati, OH. the organization in response to the void he perceived between emerging screenwriters and the industry. A short four years later, ASA had grown to 650+ members in 8 countries.
John's film career started while he was having lunch with a friend in Wilmington, NC. John overheard an assistant producer discussing the need for more extras on a film being done there, Simple Justice, starring Andre Braugher, Samuel L. Jackson and James Avery. Interrupting their conversation John talked his way into a featured extra role playing a court reporter, photographer and spectator. He was also a casting assistant for the independent movie This Train. John has gone on to write numerous screenplays (To No Avail, The True Life Adventures of Mr. and Mrs. Fish, The Last Time I Saw Eve, Christmas on Jane Street) and radio dramas, and eventually formed the American Screenwriters Association(ASA).
ASA hosts the ASA International Screenwriters Conference. It also sponsored the International Screenplay Competition, with more than 1,200 entries a year. Additionally, ASA initiated the Screenwriting Hall of Fame Awards, honoring individuals who have made contributions to the art of screenwriting.
John was invited by the International Bar Association to be a panelist at the 57th Festival de Cannes, discussing adapting literary works into screenplay, and was a featured speaker at the Les Journées du scénario à Marseille ("Days of the Scenario in Marseilles")in Marseille, France. John also taught at the Austin Film Festival, the Marco Island Film Festival, Baltimore Writer's Conference, the Midwest Music and Film Conference and the Waterfront Film Festival, and is a Second Decade Council member of the American Film Institute (AFI). He appeared on CNN International as a speaker on Racism in Hollywood, and was featured in various trade publications and newspapers such as Screenwriting Secrets (Writers Digest), Script, Honolulu Star Bulletin and Creative Screenwriting.[3]
American Screenwriting Association became dormant after Mr. Johnson's passing in 2008.[4] The organization was reborn in January 2012 under the direction of Steven Kirwan, (Executive Director, Editor, Publisher, Screenwriter), and screenwriting educator and writer Ron Montana (Author - Ride a White Zebra, Sign of the Thunderbird, more).
In December of 2012, American Screenwriters Association started a premier membership program entitled "ASA Insiders." This program provides significant cost savings, educational opportunities, contests, visibility and a host of other benefits for its members. The membership offers levels for both individual screenwriters and business members. American Screenwriters Association also offers a free newsletter offering tips, recommendations, reviews, notices, and gig announcements.
As of April 30, 2013, ASA subscribers numbered over 2300, and the organization poised to regain its status as the official organization for emerging screenwriters.

Flu Symptoms
If you have cancer now or have had cancer in the past, you are at higher risk for complications from the seasonal flu or influenza, including hospitalization and death. Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea. People may be infected with the flu and have respiratory symptoms without a fever. For more information, visit Flu Symptoms and Severity.Flu Symptoms and Severity.
What should cancer patients and survivors do if they think they may have the flu?
If you have received cancer treatment such as chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy within the last month, or have a blood or lymphatic form of cancer, call your doctor immediately if you get flu symptoms. Learn how to prevent infections while you're receiving chemotherapy.
All cancer patients and survivors should follow the steps below.
- Contact your health care provider and follow his or her instructions.
- Stay home and away from others as much as possible to keep from making them sick. This means you should avoid public activities, including work, school, travel, shopping, social events, and public gatherings. You should stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone (without the use of fever-reducing medicine), except to get medical care or other necessities.
- If you need to go to the doctor's office, emergency room, or any other health care facility, cover your mouth and nose with a facemask, if available and tolerable, or cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. Let the facility's staff know you are there because you think you may have the flu.

A northern Michigan ice cream maker is recalling a flavor that's sold at many Aldi stores and may contain nuts.
House of Flavors in Ludington is recalling Belmont Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream because it may contain a nut that's not declared on the label. People allergic to nuts may be at risk.
House of Flavors released a statement Wednesday, saying the ice cream was shipped only to Aldi stores in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. The recall follows two complaints from people who had allergic reactions.
Customers can return the ice cream to an Aldi store. Anyone seeking more information can call (800) 930-7740.

This series certainly is a good mystery. You are never sure who the imposters really are even at the very end it appears there is even more to the story than indicated. Good way to move to sequels I suppose.
At the time, '24' was a refreshing idea for a television show.
Not the best in the series but still good enough.
So happy that this is part of the Library collectio!!! LOve me some Jack Bauer!!!
24 was a very appealing series initially, but as time passed, it slightly waned due to time/committment and the fact that the main star Sutherland had some personal issues.
Many times better than the Mission Impossible series even with a narrower scope of actions.
Thumbs up!! Good pulsalating drama with great execution and acting. Great to watch.
An intense show. Exciting and fun to watch.
Very exciting. Kiefer Sutherland is a good actor.

Nonnative Species
Non-native species are species that are not native to or originally from a region. Non-native species are also refereed to as introduced, exotic, or alien. The National Park Service defines non-natives as species that occur in a given place a s a result of direct, indirect, deliberate, or accidental actions of humans.
Non-natives include many cultivated plants (food crops and ornamentals) and domesticated animals. Non-natives become problematic when they become invasive. Invasive species are non-native species that displace native species, disrupting the natural ecosystem of an area. Non-natives flourish due to a lack of predators, diseases, or other forms of population control that typically promote balance in a natural area. Invasive non-native species tend to be aggressive, spreading rapidly and out-competing native species for scarce space and resources. Over time invasive non-natives can alter ecosystems that have existed for thousands of years. In extreme cases invasive non-natives can totally displace indigenous species and even form dense monocultures, thereby degrading the integrity and diversity of native communities. Others may introduce foreign parasites and diseases, which can devastate native populations. Non-native species can also become pests, such as Gypsy moths, fire ants, zebra mussels, and European rabbits.
One of the most critical threats to the rare plants and native habitats of San Juan Island NHP is the presence of non-native plant species. Introduced from early settlers, their animals, and landscape plantings, non-native plants and seeds have taken hold at San Juan Island National Historical Park. Non-native animals are also encountered in the park: feral cats, red fox, and the ubiquitous European rabbit.
Keeping the stories told by native plants alive in the landscape is a daunting and difficult task. With limited resources, San Juan Island NHP strives to remove and eliminate the most threatening of the invasive non-natives. Although it is virtually impossible to irradiate all the non-native species or bring back all the habitat that has been lost or altered, we can work to keep the park's plant communities as healthy and diverse as possible. Park staff, island volunteers, Oregon Museum of Science and Industry summer campers, Wilderness Volunteers, and Washington CCC crews are some of the people who have helped in the never-ending work of invasive non-native plant removal. San Juan Island National Historical Park is pursuing ambitious and exciting plans to implement a native prairie restoration project at American Camp.

Term of office
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Term of office refers to the length of time a person (usually a politician) serves in a particular office.
United States
In the United States, the president of the United States is elected indirectly through the United States Electoral College to a four-year term, with a term limit of two terms (totaling eight years) or a maximum of ten years if the president acted as president for two years or less in a term where another was elected as president, imposed by the Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1951.
U.S. Representatives serve two-year terms. U.S. Senators serve six-years terms. Members of Congress of both chambers have no term limit.
Federal judges have different terms in office. Article I judges—such as those that sit on the United States bankruptcy courts, United States Tax Court, and United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, and certain other federal courts and other forms of adjudicative bodies serve limited terms: The Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces for 15 years, bankruptcy courts for 14. However, the majority of the federal judiciary—Article III judges, such as those of the Supreme Court, courts of appeal, and federal district courts—serve for life.
State and territories
The terms of office for officials in state governments varies according to the provisions of state constitutions and state law.
The term for state governors is four years in all states but Vermont and New Hampshire; the Vermont and New Hampshire governors serve for two years.
The National Conference of State Legislatures reported in January 2007 that among state legislatures [1]:
- 44 states had terms of office for the lower house of the state legislature (often termed the state House of Representatives) at two years. Five (Alabama, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, and North Dakota) had terms of office at four years. (The Nebraska Legislature is an exception and has a unicameral legislature)
- 37 states had terms of office for the upper house of the state legislature (often termed the state Senate) at four years. Twelve (Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont) had terms of office at two years.
Among territories of the United States:
- In the American Samoa Fono, members of the House serve two-year terms while members of the Senate serve six-year terms.
- Members of both chambers of the Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico have four-year terms.
- Members of both chambers of the Northern Mariana Islands Commonwealth Legislature have two-year terms.
- The Legislature of Guam and Legislature of the Virgin Islands are unicameral and Senators have two-year terms.
Members of Council of the District of Columbia serves a four-year term.
United Kingdom
Prime Minister
In the United Kingdom, the Prime Minister has no term limits. The Prime Minister is appointed by the Monarch and remains in office so long as he/she can command the confidence of the House of Commons, which in practice equals being the leader of the party with the most number of seats. The current incumbent, Gordon Brown has a working majority of 66 seats in the current House of Commons.
Parliament has to be elected every five years at a maximum, though elections often take place more frequently, most usually every four years, such as 1979, 1983 and 1987, or 1997, 2001 and 2005. A general election is not legally obliged to take place in the UK until 2010.
The longest serving Prime Minister in Britain is Lord Liverpool serving between 1812 and 1827, while the shortest serving Prime Minister is 14th Earl of Home who was PM for 363 days, between 18th October 1963 until his defeat at the polls on 16th October 1964.
Devolved Administrations
The devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are a variation on the system of government used at Westminster.
The office of the leader of the devolved administrations has no numeric term limit imposed upon it. However, in the case of the Scottish Government and the Welsh Assembly Government there are fixed terms for which the legislatures can sit. This is imposed at four years. Elections can be held before this time but only if no administration can be formed.

The Sociology Academy invited Shilpa Phadke and Shilpa Ranade, authors of the famous work 'Why Loiter? : Women and Risk on Mumbai Streets', to address the final year students of Gender Studies. The guest speakers talked about their well-acclaimed work, which is based on their research, collected over three years for a project entitled 'Gender and Space'. In July 2012, the Academy also invited Janice Lazarus to address the students of Gender Studies who offered valuable insights on queer theory and gender studies.
The Department, in association with 'India for Safe Food', hosted a talk on the topic 'GM Crops: Potential impacts on India's food security, health, environment and rural incomes' which was delivered by the eminent agricultural scientist and food and trade policy analyst, Mr. Devinder Sharma, and the former CEO, WWF-India and Member of Government Committees on Wildlife, Environment and Sustainable Agriculture, Mrs. Dilnavaz Variava.
Honours Programme:
The Honours Programme was co-ordinated by Prof. Vinita Bhatia and Prof.M.T.Joseph. The following were the courses held:
- 'Going Boink!' was conducted by Mr. Sunetro Ghosal who discussed problems concerning food security, health, environment and rural health and incomes, in relation to the pros and cons of the growing emphasis on genetically modified food crops.
- 'People and the Environment' an eight-session lecture series conducted by Sunetro Ghosal centred on the 'environment' and provided a cross-disciplinary canvas to explore ideas on the environment. An addition to the course this time was a session dedicated to the idea of 'spaces' and its relation to the environment.
- 'Islam and Society' conducted by Dr. Zeenat Shaukat Ali introduced the students to the basic tenets of Islam and the common misconceptions about the religion. The workshop concluded with the screening and discussion of the critically acclaimed film 'Khuda Ke Liye'.
- 'Winter Seminar on Environmental Justice' conducted by Janjri Jasani and Edel Monteiro focused on the problem of global climate change and the ways in which the current and the future generations could deal with the issue. This activity was co-facilitated with other young environmental activists across the globe and it also involved a live video exchange with students from Universitat des Saarlandes, Saarbrucken, Germany.
- 'The Circular Ballistics of Time' conducted by Spriha Gupta dealt with examining the exegesis of 'Time'.
- 'Media Literacy' conducted by Apoorva Gupta aimed at imparting some basic facts about media constructions, demystifying the glamour and fantasy of media. It also taught the students to learn ways to authenticate the information provided through a foray of audio, visual and text messages.
The Annual Department Seminar:
The Annual seminar held in Khandala was based on the theme -'Spaces: Imagined, Maintained and Contested'. It was supported by the Higher Education Innovation and Research Applications (HEIRA), Centre for the study of Culture and Society and the Ford Foundation. The seminar witnessed students presenting papers that were both theoretical as well as applied in nature. The topics covered a wide range of ideas, with the main focus being on the relation of these ideas to the concept of Space.
As part of one of the internal evaluations, an exhibition on "Culture Sketches" was held on 6th February at the 'Woods' in the college Campus by the FY students of Anthropology course. They exhibited Cultural Profiles of various communities from across the world.
The department was also instrumental in organizing an event in the First Quadrangle on the afternoon of 14th February to show support for the Global Campaign 'One Billion Rising' to end violence against women and girls (one billion being the estimated number of such women across the globe). This brought together students from various faculties in large numbers to show their support for the cause.

Neera may get uniform pricing to avoid competition among producers
March 19, 2014
PK Krishnakumar , ET Bureau
KOCHI: As Kerala awaits a boom in neera, a non-alcoholic health drink tapped from coconut palms , in the coming months, Coconut Development Board (CDB) has suggested a uniform price for the product to avoid cut-throat competition among the producer companies. Neera is expected to fetch a minimum income of Rs 1,000 from a coconut tree for a farmer making him less dependent on coconut oil and copra, the principal products from coconut, for a living. A lot of producer companies have applied for neera licences which are likely to lead to a slew of brands in the market.
Farmers bet on dwarf coconut seedlings in the country
June 6, 2014
PK Krishnakumar , ET Bureau
KOCHI: The rising popularity of tender coconut as a health drink amidst a widespread drop in coconut production in south India has boosted the demand for dwarf coconut seedlings in the country. The dwarf palms, which produce nuts in a relatively short period, are increasingly being favoured by coconut farm owners. The steady growth in the requirement has caught the Coconut Development Board unawares as it is struggling to meet the mounting demand. Given the pace at which dwarf coconut seedlings are bought, it wouldn't be surprising if a significant share of the current crop of tall coconut palms is replaced by their shorter varieties in the next five to ten years.
Coconut traders want palm oil import via non-southern ports
April 26, 2007
KOCHI: The Coconut Development Board has urged the commerce ministry to re-direct the import of palm oil through ports other than that in the south as it was affecting the coconut oil industry in southern states particularly Kerala. The import duty of crude palm oil was cut to 50% from 60% and that of refined palm oil to 57.5% from 67.5% from April 13. The board has also called for setting a time limit of three months for re-exporting imported coconut oil under advanced licence scheme and to refrain from its import just before festival season.
Government to push coconut oil exports
February 11, 2013
PK Krishnakumar , ET Bureau
KOCHI: Coconut oil exports from India are all set to surge with the Centre permitting shipments through all ports and the Coconut Development Board (CDB) accelerating its efforts to woo new exporters to enter the fray. India, which currently exports 8,441 tonne, accounts for 0.33 per cent of the total 25 lakh tonne coconut oil export dominated by the Philippines, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. CDB Chairman TK Jose said the board will take an initiative to raise coconut oil exports to 1.5 lakh tonne in the oil year stretching from September 2012 to October 2013.
Coconut trail to lure tourists
June 25, 2010
KOCHI: In a first of its kind venture by any coconut producing country, India is mulling launching a 'Coconut Trail' across various states producing the wonder nut which would give tourists an insight into the rural life and history of the 3000 year-old tradition of coconut culture. The Coconut Development Board (CDB) which will be launching the 'Coconut Trail' most likely this year, is hoping that tourists would certainly get attracted to the circuit. The pilot project would be first launched in Kerala at Kumbalangi, a palm fringed fishing hamlet about 30 km from here on July 3 in the presence of Union Minister of state for Agriculture K V Thomas and state Tourism minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, CDB Chairman C V Ananda Bose told PTI. The project's stakeholders in Kerala -- CDB, state Tourism department, Kerala Tourism Development Corporation ( KTDC )
India becomes largest Coconut producer
September 1, 2008
KOCHI: India has emerged as the largest producer of Coconut in the world, producing 1584 crore nuts in 2006-07, pushing Indonesia and Phillipines to the second and third spots respectively, a top official said today. Coconut production in the country has increased from 1481 crore nuts in 2005-06 to 1584 crore nuts in 2006-07, while Indonesia's production, which was 1509 crore nuts in 2002 slipped to 1498 crore nuts in 2006-07, Coconut Development Board (CDB) Chairperson Minnie Mathew told a press meet here.

Segment Your List with Survey Results
Posted By Rebecca Swayze On March 11, 2010 @ 9:48 am In Email Marketing | 33 Comments
In a recent post we showed you how to easily ask subscribers for feedback by including a rating scale [1] in your emails.
Using an innovative rating scale sets you apart from your competitors and shows subscribers that you are thinking outside of the box – that you really care about what they want.
It allows you to creatively request opinions from readers and build your email marketing [2] campaign, making it more specific, relevant and well-received by your subscribers.
But what do you with the information once it is collected?
Once you have subscriber responses, you can easily segment your list and send targeted messages to subscribers that will benefit most from your information (which ultimately leads to a greater return on your investment).
You know that no matter what response your subscribers give on your scale, they at least have an interest in your email because:
For example, let's look at The Friendly Plumber, a plumbing service that sends a monthly newsletter to customers who have used the service in the past. They most recently sent a message with handy tips for clogged drains and asked subscribers to rate their satisfaction at the end of the email.
Now, the number of subscribers who voted is evident in the total number of clicks for the message on the Broadcast Totals [3] report.
Plumbing is a personal business. Plumbers rely heavily on local, repeat business and word of mouth referral. Relationships are crucial to their success. Because a fairly large number of subscribers responded to their email, The Friendly Plumber could take the survey results and send a unique message only to the people who responded.
For the people who responded positively, they can offer a discount on their next service call and solicit testimonials for their new website.
On the Search Subscribers [4] page, they would perform a search for the appropriate link:
Then save the segment [5] and send a message only to those people [6].
For those who didn't find the email helpful, The Friendly Plumber could extend the olive branch and send a message asking for constructive criticism. Nothing is more appealing to a customer than a company that reaches out and engages in honest conversation.
The Friendly Plumber also has a blog where they discuss common plumbing issues and concerns. They send an email to their blog subscribers each time they post something new to the blog.
At the bottom of each blog broadcast [7], they could also include a rating scale, asking for feedback on individual posts.
At the end of the year, or whenever their newsletter needs a little boost, they can send out an email with the top 5 rated posts.
Don't have a blog? You can still use the same concept, only with your follow up messages. Include a rating scale in each follow up email, then at the end of the year send a broadcast extrapolating on the top 3 rated follow up emails.
Have you tried using a rating scale in your messages? What is your experience?

Obama's Wise Caution on Libya
Watching TV night, there were criticisms from across the political spectrum that President Obama failed to speak out more forcefully on behalf of the people in Libya who have taken to the streets in an effort to overthrow their tyrant.
There is no argument but that Gadhafi is one of the most evil people on the planet. There is no argument but that the people of Libya should be free from that evil regime. But, Gadhafi has helicopter gunships and the people do not. The last time I heard about helicopter gunships shooting on innocent civilians, the evil tyrant was Saddam Hussein. You will recall that in the first Gulf War, the U.S. encouraged both the Shia in the south and the Kurds in the north to rise up against the regime. They did so, believing that American encouragement would come with some degree of American protection. To their everlasting misery and to America's eternal shame, they were deceived in that belief. When Saddam unleashed his gunships, the protesters the U.S. had encouraged were slaughtered en masse. The United States did nothing.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
The artwork for Kanye's fifth magnum opus, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, was another collaboration, with Kanye tapping American painter George Condo to create a series of twisted images. The painting the rapper selected, of a grimacing Kanye-ish figure drinking a beer while being straddled by a nude, bizarre-looking half-woman half-phoenix, was banned in some retail chains, although Condo later revealed that Kanye purposely asked for an image that would be censored.

Orchid Mania is happening now at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens! The exotic orchids are a welcome sight especially during these harsh winter months. CIA professor Kidist Getachew will be displaying her work in the Interior Design Showcase among other talented artists, so be sure to check out her space! The orchid show is one of my favorite events, so it was only fitting I do a short animation of an exotic flower. I often get asked how to have animation react to audio in After Effects. It's really simple to do with an expression that does all the work for you.
I created a simple white petal shape, that I filled with an abstract painting I did in Photoshop. I achieved the effect of the painting being punch through the petal shaped using a clipping mask. Repetition makes this simple animation look more difficult than it is. I keyframed one petal to rotate all the way around and copied and pasted the same layer, adjusting the rotation amount to form a flower.
Pre-composing all my petals will collapse and package all my layers into a single composition that I can go back into and edit. I did this by selecting all the layers I needed, and in the top menu go to Layer > Pre-compose.
I can make the animation even more sophisticated by bringing in some audio and have my blossoming lotus react to the rhythm. I imported a mix created by Steven Rawley, one of the freshman students here at CIA. His work is an eclectic mix of bass and beats that would create a trance-like vision. FInd more of his music here. I added the song to the timeline and will need After Effects to read it in keyframes. To do this, select the audio layer and go to Animation > Keyframe Assistant > Convert audio to keyframes.
Now let After Effects do the work for you! The elements that will change according to the music is up to you. You can have scale, color, opacity, time, etc. transform to the beat. Since I have such nice movement with the rotating petals, I am going to have time be my reactant. Select the composition and enable time remapping by clicking Layer > Time > Enable Time Remapping. A property named Time Remap will now be visible. This is what I need to add my expression to. Select the property and go to Animation > Add Expression. Paste the following code into the field:
I'm going to parent my "Time Remap" property to the slider for "Both Channels" in my audio keyframes layer. Parenting happens when the spiral symbol is clicked and dragged up to another layer property. This connection is important, it tells my time remap keyframes to behave according to the keyframes in my audio layer. My little lotus now has a dance to it, if I stare at it long enough I go into a trance.

Every now and then a company is so strategic, its stock becomes a holding that pros want to keep on their sheets, no matter what.» Read More
FARMINGTON, Conn.— Two Connecticut lawmakers on Tuesday announced a drive in Congress to require child-proof bottles of liquid nicotine used for e-cigarettes. Richard Blumenthal, D- Conn., said at a news conference at the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington. Elizabeth Esty, D- Conn., said they are responding to a rising number of poisonings.
In a filing made public Monday, Richmond- based Altria Group Inc., which owns Black& Mild maker John Middleton Co., voiced concerns that the proposal may force them to abandon or change the brand name. It asked the FDA to clarify whether a ban on the terms would extend to cigars and its trademark, and said any ban on the brand name would be unconstitutional.
A cult following is likely to grow as "vaping" becomes more fashionable and more stores, such as Walmart, carry the battery-powered metal tubes in a wide range of colors.
July 30- Lorillard Inc. on Wednesday reported significant declines in its electronic cigarettes sales, raising questions about the strength of the nascent market. Sales of its electronic devices dropped 35 percent to $37 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $57 million for the same period last year.
A huge merger between tobacco giants Reynolds American and Lorillard will see electronic cigarette leader blu go to another company.
NEW YORK/ LONDON, July 15- When Imperial Tobacco Group Plc agreed Tuesday to buy a group of brands from Reynolds American Inc and Lorillard Inc as part of their merger, the British company insisted the assets include Lorillard's blu e-cigarette unit.
NEW YORK/ LONDON, July 15- Reynolds American Inc had no choice but to sell Lorillard Inc's top-selling blu electronic cigarettes brand after Britain's Imperial Tobacco Group Plc insisted it be part of a wider portfolio of assets it is buying, a source familiar with the transaction said.
July 15- Reynolds American Inc said it would buy rival Lorillard Inc for about $25 billion, merging two of the world's biggest cigarette makers amid a slowdown in sales. Reynolds, whose brands include Camel and Pall Mall, offered $68.88 per Lorillard share, representing a premium of 2.5 percent to Lorillard's Monday closing.
Reynolds American on Tuesday announced plans to acquire Lorillard in a deal the company valued at $27.4 billion.
WASHINGTON, July 14- U.S. cigarette maker Reynolds American Inc, in talks to buy rival Lorillard Inc, may have a hard time convincing regulators to approve the deal because of their big shares in the traditional cigarette and fast-growing electronic cigarette markets.
Stocks climbed on Monday, with the S&P 500 bouncing back from weekly losses, after Citigroup's earnings beat estimates.
Jim Cramer is a good stock picker but these picks are nothing short of smokin'.
*Reynolds, Lorillard marriage seen making $500 mln savings. LONDON, July 11- U.S. cigarette maker Reynolds American Inc is in talks to acquire rival Lorillard Inc in a multi-billion dollar deal that would reshape one of the world's biggest and most profitable tobacco markets, the companies said on Friday.
*Lorillard market value is $22.9 bln. LONDON, July 11- U.S. cigarette maker Reynolds American Inc is in talks to acquire rival Lorillard Inc in a multi-billion dollar deal that would include the sale of some brands to Britain's Imperial Tobacco Group Plc, the companies said on Friday.
*Reynolds, Lorillard not available to comment. LONDON, July 11- U.S cigarette makers Reynolds American Inc and Lorillard Inc are in talks on a possible multi-billion dollar disposal to Britain's Imperial Tobacco Group Plc, as part of efforts to ease antitrust concerns over their planned merger.
Reynolds American and Lorillard are agreeing a complex merger that will reshape Big Tobacco, bringing together the two biggest US operators.
LONDON, July 11- Imperial Tobacco, the world's fourth-largest tobacco group, said on Friday it was in talks with Reynolds and Lorillard to acquire certain assets and brands that could be sold by the two companies. Reynolds and Lorillard are in advanced talks about a deal that would merge the No.2 and No.3 U.S. cigarette makers, Reuters has previously reported.
Too many individuals approach tech stocks in a way that's unlikely to generate profits, said Cramer. You aren't one of them, are you?
If you're new to the market, Cramer says there's one term you absolutely must understand before trading stock.
Before you put your next dollar in stocks, Cramer would like a word about cyclical versus secular stocks.

U.S. Representative John R. Carter was re-elected in a landslide in November 2012 to his sixth term representing Texas' Thirty-First Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Congressman Carter was selected this term as Chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Appropriations and also to serve on the Commerce, Justice and Science Subcommittee and Defense Subcommittee. In addition, this is his third term as Co-Chairman of the bipartisan House Army Caucus. He has been a member of the House Appropriations Committee since 2004.
Since his first election in 2002, Congressman Carter has established himself as a leader in Congress who has the foresight and courage to author and support numerous pieces of legislation that would increase the protection of U.S. citizens and bring justice to those who threaten our freedom and way of life.
Congressman Carter is one of the few House Members who has authored legislation signed into law under both Presidents Bush and Obama. In spite of now being a veteran Congressman, John Carter is still known as "Judge" for having served over 20 years on the district court bench in Williamson County, which he won as the first county-wide elected Republican in Williamson County history. Before becoming a Judge, Congressman Carter had a successful private law practice and continued to practice law while serving as the Municipal Judge in Round Rock.
Congressman Carter's leadership ability has been recognized by his colleagues and others. During his first term, Congressman Carter was named one of the "Top Five Freshman" in Congress by Capitol Hill's leading newspaper.
In July 2004, President Bush held a signing ceremony for Congressman Carter's Identity Theft bill at the White House. The law lessens the burden of proof making identity theft easier to prove and prosecute and also defines and creates punishment for aggravated identity theft.
A true Texan at heart, Congressman Carter was born and raised in Houston and has spent his adult life in Central Texas. Carter attended Texas Tech University where he graduated with a degree in History and then graduated from the University of Texas Law School in 1969.Congressman Carter and his wife, Erika, met in Holland and have been happily married since June 15, 1968. Since then they have built a home and raised a family of four on Christian beliefs and strong Texas Values. Congressman Carter and Mrs. Carter are also a proud grandparents to three precious grandchildren.

Dayton, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - AJ Pacher scored a game-high 20 points and cleared six rebounds for Wright State as the Raiders captured a 67-58 win over the Valparaiso Crusaders in Horizon League play at the Nutter Center.
Also scoring in double figures for the Raiders (17-13, 9-6 HL) were Cole Darling and JT Yoho with 12 and 10 points, respectively, as the team won a third straight game and for the fourth time in five tries.
The Crusaders (17-13, 9-6) were paced by Alec Peters with 11 points and Vashil Fernandez 10, the latter shooting a perfect 4-of-4 from the field as the squad bowed for the second time in the last three outings.
Wright State shot only 40.7 percent from the field in the first half, compared to 47.4 percent for the visitors, but the Raiders still moved out to a 32-23 advantage at the break thanks to a perfect 8-of-8 effort at the free-throw line.
In the second half WSU made good on 50 percent from the floor, but the team still played even through the final 20 minutes of action, allowing the home team to hold on for the nine-point victory.
Valpo limited the Raiders to only 4-of-14 shooting behind the 3-point line, but the Crusaders didn't do themselves any favors with 20 turnovers on the night.

Everything was awesome! Omar at the front desk was so helpful and accommodating! Great location to many tourist attractions.
The business of the street made parking difficult. It was hard to get in the lot. Once in there the valet was great, but the traffic in front of the hotel was a pain.
With 5 checked in people in the room, the towel supply was for four, when the attendant was asked in person, we were given more, but notes were disregarded. We wanted 5 bath, 5 hand & 5 facecloths. Didn't happen, Also some surfaces were dusty in the room.
The hotel was clean and the room was a great size for a family. It's just a short walk down to the Walk of Fame. Reception staff were very helpful locating a delivery service for pizza!
The location of the hotel was centrally located to several attractions so that made it convenient. The valet service, the pool and breakfast were nice also.
The street that the hotel is on is right by a light so it makes it hard to get out at times. And as far as the room was concerned....the bed skirt was torn and the pillows were lumpy.....so for the price of the hotel....I would not recommend.
Good location and staff were lovely.
Queues at breakfast, though the second morning they had organised someone to seat guests at tables which solved the problem.
New bathroom and decent breakfast
Very poor wifi
First time in LA it was a wonderful visit. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was very good and the room was very clean and nice size.
The parking fees.
*The location was superb ! *The rooms were large and comfortable. *Tasty breakfast.
First the parking was $22 for valet after spending $300 for the room. Ok, big deal right? Not really but let's move on. Try to take a shower and the water is coming out of the shower head and the bath tub nossel; annoying but no big deal. But the gross thing was the water wasn't draining at all till at least fifteen mins or so after your shower. The customer service to get a refund was frustrating. I only stayed a night because I was going to a concert so no need to deal with maintance and making a big deal about it. But they were only willing to take care of the $20 parking.
The location was excellent - a few minutes walk to the walk of fame and a few minutes drive or a metro ride to universal (for which the front desk will lend you the top up cards which make it cheaper), the griffiths observatory and the hoolywood bowl. Echoing other reviews the all staff from cleaners to front desk to car park were so helpful and friendly - the best of all the holiday inns we stayed in on our trip.
It's a bit tricky turning left into the car park due to the volume of traffic coming the other way - we usually had to go up the road to turn and come back down. This is LA after all. It would also be nice to have more fruit e.g. Melon at breakfast, although that was still very good.
the staff the swimming pool breakfast
the sofa bed is a shame parking fee
Staff gave suggestions on sites to visit; very accomodating; walking distance to walk of fame
No information on options for getting around
The location was perfect, the staff was very nice & friendly & the valet parking was a nice surprise. The beds were wonderful!!!
The hallways were extremely hot, one elevator did not work & the one that did was very slow & noisy. I also would have liked a jacuzzi/hot tub to soak my bad leg in after all the walking around we did.
Room was right below gym on the fourth floor and there were a lot of noise early morning around 5:30 - 6:00. It woke us up earlier than we had planned.
För litet rum för 4pers. För litet frukostrum
Close to universal studios Closer to Central Hollywood You can see the Hollywood sign from the street Great breakfast Main bed was fabulous
Sofa bed in room was not comfortable.
Good location, ok breakfast, very helpful personnel, nice beds.
weak wifi (6th floor), tiny gym and pool
Location was good and refurbished rooms were nice (not sure what older rooms were like).
Hallways were very warm..a couple of the hallway air conditioners were not functioning. Quite a bit of noise from floor above ours. Hotel was not bad but not worth the high dollars being charged.
location, room size was ok. staff friendly
breakfast not up to much. Hate plastic plates and very over crowded breakfast room
The hotel is ideal for a family travelling with older children. The size of the rooms and the provision of a fridge and microwave make it ideal as you can opt to dine in if you choose. The location of the hotel is ideal for spending time at the Highland and Hollywood mall.
The only negative comment we had was the uncomfortable sofa bed! The mattress was too thin.
Great location
Bed was uncomfortable. Breakfast was terrible, unhealthy choices and plastic plates KFS, no seating available, tiny area. Coffee facilities in room very poor.
wifi available. breakfast free
too mall lobby too expensive.
Good location, front desk staff quite helpful n friendly. Breakfast was quite okay despite a bit chaos for so many guests in the morning trying to grab tables n lining up to fetch their coffee / pancakes/etc, which was due to having no staff helping out.
Facilities were quite run down, carpet was a bit smelly, water in bathroom was leaking out. Though with helpful staff, the place is overpriced for the facilities it has.

Remember the Titans: Managing Behavior
Both Coach Boone and Coach Yost use the path-goal model of leadership. Coach Boone uses a combination of achievement-oriented and instrumental or directive leadership, while Coach Yost demonstrates mainly a supportive style of leadership. Of the four path-goal theory leadership styles, it is not uncommon for leaders to use a mixture of more than one or all four. The nature of contingency leadership means that one or more of the different styles might be utilized to achieve goals in a path-like manner. According to Greenberg (2002), such a mixture is often the norm in the path-goal model of leadership, "These styles are not mutually exclusive; in fact, the same leader can adopt them at different times and in different situations" (293).
In The Titans, Coach Boone uses a combination of leadership styles. Boone is very directive in leadership style with respect to motivating employees to achieve goals. He provides specific guidance and establishing clear and rigorous schedules and rules. In one scene we see this instrumental style of leadership combined with the achievement-oriented style when Coach Boone explains the rules with respect to football performance:
