If I Were President: Views from An 8-Year-Old
Last weekend while driving around East Texas I had an interesting and funny conversation with my daughter and it began with the statement, 'If I were President'.
Last weekend while driving around East Texas I had an interesting and funny conversation with my daughter and it began with the statement, 'If I were President'.
President Obama again made his case for action against Syria in a speech from the East Room of the White House on Tuesday night while asking the House and Senate to put off a vote a vote on military action.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has been the Governor of California, Jessie Ventura the Governor of Michigan and singer Sonny Bono was a congressman in Washington for a number of years so why not get a huge pop star from today to take over the most powerful office on the Earth? That's exactly what fans want Justin Timberlake to do!
Federal authorities have arrested Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, for allegedly sending letters containing the deadly poison ricin to President Obama and Senator Roger Wicker (R.-Miss.) earlier this week.
1:10 p.m. (EST): A third letter, this one sent to Senator Joe Manchin (D.-W.V.), has been found to contain ricin.
12:45 p.m. (EST): FBI spokesman Paul Bresson has confirmed that the substance found in the letter to the president was ricin.
The Secret Service says that a letter containing a suspicious substance and addressed to President Obama was received on Tuesday at a White House mail facility. This comes just after a letter sent to Senator Roger Wicker (R.-Miss.) was found to contain the poison ricin.
Barack Obama took the oath of office just before noon in Washington on Monday to begin his second term as president of the United States.
A couple of days ago I wrote about some bizarre election predictions and now it's time to check back in on them to see how accurate they are.
The first results of this year's presidential election have just been released and it seems that the candidates are tied.
Today is the last day in Texas to register to vote. If you do not sign up quick you will be left to everyone else's mercy. There are no excuses to miss out on helping choose your future.
On Tuesday, November 6th voters will head to the polls to vote for their favorite candidate to hold the world's highest office, the presidency of the United States of America and when you wake up on Wednesday, November 7th you might not like the results. If that's the case then you could be leaving the country for free aboard a JetBlue plane!
Each time we get closer to a presidential election, it seems the political landscape gets weirder and weirder. Now, thanks to comedian Roseanne Bar entering the race, the trend remains consistent.
President Barack Obama finally made good on his 2008 campaign promise to end the war in Iraq. On Wednesday, the president was at Fort Bragg in North Carolina to welcome troops returning home from Iraq for the last time.

New Drug Option for Patients with Melanoma
Last month, the FDA approved the drug Zelboraf (vemurafenib) for patients with melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. The drug is designed to work only for late-stage melanoma patients whose tumors have a specific genetic defect known as the BRAF V600E mutation, which is present in approximately half of melanoma cases. The FDA also approved a diagnostic test that determines whether a patient's melanoma cells have this mutation.
The drug is the second to be approved this year for patients with late-stage melanoma -- Yervoy (ipilumumab) was approved last March. These approvals are an important advance, given the dearth of treatment options for late-stage melanoma.
Unfortunately, neither drug is a cure for the disease. Clinical trials have revealed that Zelboraf extends survival by a few months on average, compared with those taking traditional chemotherapy. What's more, it comes with a hefty price tag of about $9,400 per month.
To read more about the initial trials of Zelboraf (originally known as PLX4032) in humans and the path of this drug to market, see this fascinating series of articles by The New York Times reporter Amy Harmon.
iPhone App Aids Early Detection of Melanoma
Got a suspicious-looking mole that you're concerned about? There's an app for that. MelApp for iPhone lets you take a picture of your lesion using your smartphone's camera and analyzes it for risk of melanoma. The app could help you to detect melanoma in its earliest stages, when it is most easily cured.
After uploading your image, you'll be asked to answer two simple questions about your lesion or mole. Then the app uses "image-based pattern recognition technology" (which has been validated using a database of images licensed by Johns Hopkins University Medical Center, according to the app's creator, Health Discovery Corporation) to give you an estimated risk of melanoma. The program also allows you to store your pictures and collect them in albums by date, enabling you to review your suspicious moles or lesions for changes that occur over time. Users that receive a "high" risk of melanoma are directed to a nearby physician for follow-up using the smartphone's GPS technology.
While the app is certainly not intended to diagnose melanoma or to replace regular evaluations by your physician, at the very least it may help you to keep better track of your moles between check-ups. And for only $1.99, if it helps get you to the doctor more regularly, then it will be worth it's salt.
Regular Sunscreen Use Helps Prevent Melanoma
Numerous studies have shown that regular sunscreen use can prevent squamous cell carcinoma, but whether it's useful for preventing other skin cancers, such as melanoma, has remained controversial. New research published in the January 20 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology provides convincing evidence that sunscreen is indeed effective for preventing melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Researchers at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Brisbane, Australia, randomly assigned 1,621 participants to two groups: sunscreen use, or discretionary use (which included no use). The first group was given an unlimited supply of broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 16 and was instructed to apply the product to their head, neck, arms, and hands each morning. Participants were also advised to reapply after bathing, heavy sweating, or prolonged sun exposure. People in the discretionary group were asked to continue using (or not using) sunscreen of any SPF as they always had.
Fifteen years after the start of the study, the researchers found half as many melanomas in the sunscreen group as in the control group (11 vs. 22, respectively), and an even greater difference in the number of invasive melanomas (3 vs. 11).
The results show that you can greatly reduce your risk of developing melanoma by regularly using sunscreen. However, sunscreen use is just one part of a more comprehensive sun protection strategy, which includes wearing a wide-brim hat, sunglasses, and long-sleeved shirts and pants.

It's official: Tanning is an addiction
According to a recently published article in the Archives of Dermatology indoor tanning qualifies as an addiction.
The study surveyed University of Albany, in Albany, NY, college students. Of the 229 responders who have used tanning beds, 39.3% met the criteria for addiction. Those that were considered addicted to tanning showed classic signs of addiction - several unsuccessful attempts to completely stop or cut back on tanning; feeling annoyed when they were told they should stop; and skipping work, school or other scheduled activities to go to the tanning salon.
Slightly of two-thirds of the study participants were female.
Researchers say non-melanoma skin cancer at epidemic level
According to a study published in the March issue of the Archive of Dermatology, the rate of non-melanoma skin cancer in the U.S. is reaching epidemic proportions, with more than two million people affected in 2006.
In that year, an estimated 3,507,693 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer were treated, affecting 2,152,500 people according to Howard Rogers, MD, PhD, of Advanced Dermatology in Norwich, Conn., and colleagues.
But between 2002 and 2006, Rogers and colleagues found that the number of procedures for nonmelanoma skin cancer per affected person increased 1.5% and the number of people who had at least one procedure increased by 14.3%.
"There is an epidemic of nonmelanoma skin cancer in the U.S.," they wrote, adding that "educational programs emphasizing sun protection have mainly been disappointing in slowing skin cancer rates."
"This is only going to get worse," said Dr. Suephy Chen, an associate professor of dermatology at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta told Fox47. "Our population is aging. Those people who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s when there was not a big sun-protection message out there are now coming into their 50s and 60s and are starting to develop skin cancers."
To lessen your chances of getting skin cancer, dermatologists recommend applying broad-spectrum sunscreen liberally and often; wearing hats and other protective clothing when out in the sun; avoiding sun exposure when the sun's rays are the strongest -- between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. -- and never using tanning beds. This advice is especially useful in the upcoming summer months.
It's especially important to take these steps with children and teens, Rogers said. Skin cancer is turning up in younger and younger patients. In the past week or so, he removed non-melanoma cancer off the cheek of a 17-year-old boy and removed a melanoma from an 18-year-old girl.

Is PLX4032 the future of melanoma treatment?
The New York Times has an interesting article today looking at the effect of a cancer drug called PLX4032, which is currently being tested on melanoma patients.
The drug, which targets a specific gene mutation that drives cancer growth, has been shown to shrink tumors by more than 30% in 9 of the 16 melanoma patients in the phase 1 trial. However, it will take much more research before this treatment option is widely available.
You can read more about the specific outcomes of the PLX4032 trial in this Medical News Today article.
Study find NSAID's are no protection against skin cancer
According to a new study, published in the Feb. 15 online issue of the Archives of Dermatology, prolonged use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and celecoxib offers no protection against skin cancer.
Researchers at Kaiser Permanente Northern California compared the medical records of 415 patients between the ages 43-85, diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in 2004 to 415 patients of similar age, race, sex and gender with no history of cancer.
Participants were required to provide information about their NSAID use 10 years prior to the study. Sixty-one percent of participants reported regular use of NSAID pain relievers.
The results of the study revealed that irrespective of type of drug used or the dosage taken the NSAID's did not reduce the risk of skin cancer.
Did FDR Have Skin Cancer?
A new book is claiming that former President Franklin D. Roosevelt died of a tumor caused by melanoma. The book, titled "FDR's Deadly Secret," was written by New York Post associate editorial page editor Eric Fettman and Dr. Steven Lomazow.
According to the authors, Roosevelt had a cancerous lesion above his left eyebrow, which metastasized and caused a tumor that lead to his death in 1945. They reached this conclusion after examining many photographs of the lesion, as well as other evidence.
The Post has more details on the book and FDR's health.
On "Breakthroughs" and Phase I Trials
Those of you fighting melanoma or who have a loved one with the disease may have heard the breathless news last week of an "unprecedented" "breakthrough" treatment called PLX4032. Here's the scoop.
PLX4032 is designed to block a mutated form of a gene called BRAF, which is found in about half of all melanoma tumors. This new study showed that 64% of 22 patients who took PLX4032 showed at least some tumor shrinkage, which is much higher than the results typically seen with chemotherapy. That's especially impressive considering that these patients were really sick: all had failed previous therapies, either chemotherapy or treatment with interleukin-2, as well as surgery. The lead researcher said, "We are seeing some pretty dramatic and rapid responses, and they are occurring in sites where we rarely see responses to chemotherapy, such as in the bone."
These are indeed potentially exciting results, but a reality check is needed to curb any "irrational exuberance" (as Alan Greenspan would say!). This was a very small (27 patients), unblinded, early-stage study done at a single hospital (Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York). This makes it inherently less convincing than a larger, double-blinded, multi-institution, placebo-controlled study -- all characteristics of larger clinical trials that are designed to minimize potential biases and distinguish between what's due to random chance and what's real. Unfortunately, most phase I trials like this one end in failure and the drug is never approved.
So, cautious optimism is warranted for PLX4032; thinking that it's a "cure" is not. Let's hope that it will prove to be a real breakthrough for patients that desperately need one.

Three long runs doom Terriers
Sat. October 05, 2013 at 1:01 a.m. | By Kelly McElroy/Staff Writer
During postgame interviews both Brother Martin coach Mark Bonis and Vandebilt Catholic coach Brad Villavaso agreed that the Terriers defense had a good game plan in attempting to stop the Crusaders offense on Friday night.
But despite that well-devised plan, three long touchdown runs grounded the Terriers.
In a 27-10 nondistrict Brother Martin victory, the Crusaders scored on runs of 76, 85 and 45 yards and that proved enough for them to walk off a sloppy field at Buddy Marcello Stadium in Houma with a win.
Freshman running back Bruce Jordan (nine carries, 195 yards, three touchdowns) had the two longest scoring runs for Brother Martin (3-2 overall) and junior Jared West added the other long score.
"Our offensive line (anchored by tackle and LSU commitment William Clapp) played well and our backs played well," Bonis said. "I thought (the Terriers) had a pretty good game plan, but we were able to block some guys and make big plays that helped out tremendously."
Villavaso said just having one player out of place on defense has plagued the Terriers for as long as he can remember.
"I thought our defensive staff did a good job putting the game plan together. That guy (Jordan) is a pretty good running back, and I have to watch the film to see what happened, but we have to fit everything right (on defense)," Villavaso said. "I thought we played well despite the three long runs they broke on us. That has been our deal forever, and it will always be our deal. If we have a guy in the wrong gap, and a running back gets a crease, those things happen to us."
The scoring in first half came when Vandebilt's Tristan Guillory plunged into the end zone from 2 yards out in the second quarter for a 7-0 lead and then Jordan broke the 76-yard run for a Brother Martin score and later added a 5-yard touchdown run to cap a nine-play, 48-yard drive for a 13-7 Brother Martin halftime advantage.
After Jordan's 85-yard scoring gallop, Patrick Watson (extra point) brought the Terriers (3-2) closer with 6:22 to go in the third quarter when his 49-yard field goal made it a 20-10 Brother Martin lead.
The Terriers (240 total yards, 161 rushing, 11 first downs), who got 97 yards rushing on 10 carries and four catches for 45 yards from Justen Harris, then got the ball back, but fumbled it away.
After another Vandebilt defensive stand, Terriers quarterback Bailey Pere (10-of-18, 79 yards, three interceptions) was intercepted by Andrew Benfatti after Terriers tight end Chase Hawthorne had the ball go through his arms.
Brother Martin (291 rushing yards, 41 passing, 332 total, 14 first downs) capitalized when West (11 carriers, 74 yards) added the 45-yard score with 8:47 to play that helped the Crusaders seal the win.
"Offensively, it seems like every time we need a play we are just not getting it. We got behind the chains too much," Villavaso said. "We have to put together some drives and score some points. We had four turnovers, and when you play good teams like Brother Martin that just cannot happen. We miss three gaps on defense and turn the ball over four times, that's seven opportunities in the game that were crucial to us. We got beat by a good football team, but I thought we could have played them better than that."
Brother Martin starting quarterback Jake Broggi, who played as a freshman at H.L. Bourgeois last season, was 5-of-9 for 41 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.
Bonis said the field conditions limited the Crusaders on some of the things they wanted to do offensively.
"I wish it would have been in better conditions. I think it would have been better played on both sides," Bonis said. "We were lucky to play the game though with (Tropical Storm Karen). Vandebilt is a good team with a good tradition. Our quarterback Jake Broggi threw for almost 200 yards last week. He is starting to really come around. With district coming up, we weren't able to execute all the things we wanted to because of the weather, but we may come across these conditions later in the season, which will give us some experience with them."
Kickoff was moved up an hour to 6 p.m. because of the tropical system.

Well, that was embarrassing.
After proving that he could, in fact, go an entire fight without mentally imploding against Danny Garcia, former champion Zab Judah put on an absolutely pathetic performance in Brooklyn tonight, getting outworked by Paulie Malignaggi for a wide decision loss.
Despite Paulie's legendarily-bad punching power, Judah refused to engage, throwing at best a dozen power punches per round. Instead, he was content to jab and get picked apart at range by Malignaggi, showing zero intention of counter-punching.
Judah's sole strong moment of the fight came in the second round, when he appeared to drop Paulie with a combination, but replays showed that their legs were actually tangled. The rest of the fight consisted of Paulie landing a high volume of weak strikes to the head and body.
Unfortunately, the main event was about par for the course. In the co-main, undefeated Shawn Porter upset Devon Alexander for the IBF welterweight title, using a highly-aggressive attack and exploiting Alexander's lack of power. After badly wobbling Devon in the third, the fight mostly devolved into clinching, with both men digging short shots to the head and body and Porter getting the better of it. Porter eventually took home a wide unanimous decision.
It was still better than the second bout, which saw Erislandy Lara outclass Austin Trout over twelve painfully-dull rounds. The sole bright spot was Lara crushing Trout in the eleventh with a left hand that by all rights should have left Trout drooling on the canvas. Instead, Trout beat the count and continued getting handily outworked.
At least the opening bout, a draw between Sakio Bika and Anthony Dirrell, was dirty as hell and thus highly entertaining. Bika survived getting dropped in the fifth to simply out-bastard Dirrell, mauling in the clinch and landing a surprisingly-large amount of wild overhands. He was deducted a point for a low blow in the eleventh, which wound up costing him the fight.
Still, quality scrap.

It's easy to pass Facebook pages off as being more appropriate for restaurants and retail, but by doing so, those in other service industries miss out on a huge opportunity. Whether you provide services in accounting, insurance, health care or another profession, how you should go about using Facebook is less straightforward, but it is vital to your visibility to prospective customers.
Teach People About Your Industry
People enlist your services because they don't understand how to do it themselves, but there's little to ensure their confidence by keeping them in the dark. Be upfront about exactly how your services benefit them. It's an opportunity to diminish any doubts by instilling confidence in your capabilities. Celebrate and share your successes with effective examples including news coverage and personal testimonials by your customers. Your greatest asset is how you conduct your services, so you have nothing to lose by helping your audience understand how your services benefit them and why your company is the best to help.
Your Employees' Personalities Are Assets
Your employees have more personality than the stock photos on your site. In fact, some of your customers might even name one of your staff members in their top reasons for sticking with you. Use those personalities to your advantage. Give people real faces and names for who they might interact with on the phone or who they will encounter when they first come through your door. Personal connections are lasting connections. Give your staff members each opportunities to share what they enjoy in and outside of work. They'll feel more appreciated and might even share your page's feature with their network.
Top Of Feed, Top Of Mind
Whether it be in your current customers' news feeds or their connections' search feeds, maintaining an active presence will also ensure your relevance. Even knowing the circumstances when your services are the most important, you can't predict when they'll be important for any individual. Your availability and accessibility in connection with those they know is your way to preempt their need, and how you conduct your business's Facebook page could determine whether they approach you with confidence or seek out other options.
Goodbye Yellow Pages, Hello Facebook Pages
You can no longer rely on being discovered by your box in the Yellow Pages. People ask for and trust referrals from people they know. A friend's "Like" alone could be just the vote of confidence someone needs to put you at the top of their list. Having faces and names of staff easily visible gives a more personable experience. Engage your active customers in person, and give them a reason to connect with your Facebook page. How your services benefit them will be more transparent and give them better reason to recommend you to others.

Masoli Suspended for Entire 2010 Season
Looks like Chip Kelly is coming down hard (we'll see if it lasts). As with political scandals, it seems Masoli's undoing wasn't the crime, but the attempted cover-up (read: lying to the coach). The worst part of all this? Oregon probably just lost the Pac-10 favorites' position and wolfmanshowlforever will think he's been vindicated.

Going to bed earlier than our usual time was met by a lot of resistance, whining and door banging. (Bad habits are definitely hard to break.) But I reckon, it was a good time for a change as Anya starts school next week, (a new school and middle school in fact), and the kid is still in holiday mode. I also was initially adamant but I noticed how waking up has become easier. And my eye bags are getting lighter. So yes, there is such a thing as beauty sleep!
|courtesy of BUPA
As for our 60 minute exercise, walking the dog around the reserve in front of us was still the main source. (I do the morning round, hubby does the levening). I complimented it in the past days by bringing down the Christmas tree and decors (lots of arm stretching there), and organizing wardrobe closets. And I covered Anya's books last night! (That counts, right?).
And as for avoiding electronic gadgets during dinner, I no longer bring Anya's food to her room whilst she play Minecraft. I now give her fair warning that it's almost dinner time (so she have to wind down her gaming session and head to the kitchen counter to eat.) Told her it's the healthier way and she can tell me all about her game and more during dinner. And the kid will never pass a chance to talk and explain "stuff".
To be honest, this week started to be very trying with these added changes, especially come bed time. But we are getting used to the new routine and actually feeling good about it. As they say, no pain, no glory.
Have you visited the Bupa Family Challenge website yet? It is loaded with brilliant ideas to bring about healthy changes for the family. And if you join in and complete the challenge, then you'll be in the running to win great prizes including a family holiday to Dreamworld!

Hi guys! First of all, I am so motivated and inspired by the emails/inboxes I have received since starting this blog. As I learned with my other blog, www.bittenbybollywood.blogspot.com, starting a blog requires a ton of patience. When you first start out, the empty comment thread makes you feel like you're talking to air...
But your emails have reassured me it isn't so. Besides, I've decided that I don't care if only one person reads my blogs; If I can learn from you and you can learn from me, nothing is wasted time.
So, next, I do apologize for the lack of activity. I just had internet installed at my new home, and have had a couple bumps in my own motivational energy (I told you I was a work in progress! We're in this together). But, there is no time like the present to let you guys know I am still very much determined to fatten this blog up with content. No, I'm not sure exactly where I'm going with it, but that's ok, because I'm just going to live in the present and let my intuition guide my writing.
The other side to that coin is, this is not my only writing project. As some of you already know, I am also working on a sci-fi/fantasy/drama young adult novel. Actually, its shaping out to be a trilogy, and the story is so complex that I sometimes question whether or not I can pull it off. But as I say in my Facebook stats and Tweets, and as I write in this blog, your success begins and ends with you! The power of our thoughts are amazing, so I try to envision myself writing this book exactly as I hope it plays out. What will come of it, I don't know, but I just have this overwhelming urge to tell this story and I don't think its going to go away! So stay tuned, and if you are interested in proofreading my rough draft, please contact me.
The other thing I have been working on is a wellness plan for improving my overall health and wellbeing from the inside out. As I mentioned in previous posts, I have struggled with my self esteem issues and weight for most of my life. The last two years have been tremendously healing in that department, but I am still working on some things. I believe there is a way to remove the layers of baggage we have accumulated both emotionally (resentment, self esteem issues from childhood, obsessions with dieting and food intake) and literally (excess pounds/fat/disease). I do believe it is my life purpose to help others battling with eating disorders and self esteem issues (I am also feeling a strong connection to sexual abuse victims, who often happen to fall into all three of above categories). But its going to take time, and I have to make sure that the guidance I give other people is something I truly have faith in myself. So, this is a long term goal, but its something I work on everyday.
Finally, I did change the name of this blog, as well as the address. She Colored it Indigo has symbolic meaning for me, and I wanted something that was unique and a little exotic sounding. What Happens In My Heart came to me when I decided to blog about my thoughts, feelings, and lessons learned. But as I started writing, I realized I don't want this blog to be centered on ME, I want it to be what happens in ALL of us. How we are all a part of something bigger, how we all can be anything and change big things when we choose to love each other, and how lightness always overcomes the darkness. Hope to hear from you all soon, and please let me know if you're feeling the title or not! <3

For those of you who are unfamiliar, Best Buddies is an organization that "creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities." Every year, the Maryland state chapter holds a Friendship Walk fundraiser in College Park that follows a route through campus and ends at Ritchie Coliseum, where there are games and food for all of the participants.
Last year, Randy Edsall served as the honorary chairman for the Best Buddies Friendship Walk and came to the kickoff event at Ritchie. While he couldn't be there this year, he sent a few replacements on his behalf. C.J. Brown, Kevin Dorsey, Demetrius Hartsfield, Joe Vellano, Nathan Renfro, Tyrek Cheeseboro, and several other current players were there at Ritchie at 9:00 AM on a Saturday morning to support this event. They spoke to attendees and took pictures with many of the kids and fundraising teams in attendance.
I know this is part of the gig when you're a coach or player at a large Division I school, but I still think it's important to note the positive things that Edsall and his players are doing in the community.

Explaining your desire to improve
January 23, 2013
When you understand what the customer values, show them things your company does that help you perform well in that area. Let them know about business improvements and planned improvements, and show them you are sincere about your commitment to do well in the areas that they value. At the very least, you can say, "I'm going to make sure everyone in the company hears your story. We don't want this to happen again." When you express the company's desire to improve, you start on the path to rebuilding its credibility with the customer.

The day started with a great breakfast prepared by the Jennings Fire Department. It was really very good. The pastor of the church gave us our send off prayer and away we went with more great memories to cherish. It was a little rough going in the morning as we had strong head winds of 18 mph, gusting up to 25 mph with 55 degree weather. About 5 miles into the ride we encountered a farmer burning some of his land and the wind carried the smoke right into the path of the riders. Luckily they only had to ride a short distance through the smoke. The rest of the ride was fairly uneventful as the roads were slightly better than yesterday and only 1 tire needed to be changed out. This was our 3rd 100+ mile day in a row. WOW! The riders are quite excited about that. We finally arrived in Texas this afternoon. We were all very pleased with how much we have accomplished in these 8 days. We must thank the Louisiana State Police and the Louisiana State Fire Marshall who have been with us from the Mississippi/Louisiana state line until we crossed into Texas. They are the best and we greatly appreciate their time and dedication to The Brotherhood Ride. Today we were also escorted by the Jennings Fire Department, Calcasieu Sheriff's Department, Sulphur Fire Department and Ward 7 Fire Department Calcasieu Parish, all in Louisiana. In Texas we were escorted by the Vidor Police, Orange County Fire Department and Beaumont Fire & Rescue. We were on Interstate 10 for a short time today which was both very exhilarating and very nerve racking. We were very well escorted though and made the 1/2 mile trek like pros. We were welcomed by the Elks Lodge in Beaumont, Texas where we were fed brisket, potato salad, beans and bread. Everyone enjoyed the meal VERY much. I don't think a crumb was left on anyones plates. We have become very spoiled on this trip with the quality of food that is being served to us, not to mention the quanity of it. As always the Elks have been very hospitable and gracious to our group and have always gone above and beyond. I know everyone enjoyed the use of the showers and the nice big room in which to rest their tired bodies. We are looking forward to an easier day tomorrow. We get to sleep an hour longer, a rare treat. We are then going to the Beaumont Fire Museum and then getting back on the road to Liberty, Texas. All in all, another awesome day for the Brotherhood Ride and the Brotherhood Riders. Cross off another 117 miles of our journey. No injuries, no worries!!

A Great Falls man making his initial appearance in court today, after events that allegedly took place last night.
Peter Sargent is facing felony charges of sexual intercourse without consent and sexual assault. Sargent allegedly assaulted a sixteen year old girl who was in his apartment complex visiting a friend. According to court documents, the assault took place after Sargent asked the girl to watch his fiancee's daughter at his home across the hall. The girl and her friend were driving to the hospital after the assault when Sargent reportedly tried multiple times to cut them off in traffic, and eventually confronted the alleged victim and threatened her. Peters was eventually identified by great falls police. Bail has been set at $75,000.

The names of the victims were released Monday. They are:
The victims told police three masked men entered an unlocked door. One of the suspects had a shotgun and another was armed with a small handgun.
Though the shotgun was fired, no one was hit.
Three purses were taken before the suspects fled on foot.
Police say the victims remain uncooperative with investigators.

Game Preview – Game 43: Your New Jersey Devils vs Edmonton Oilers
New Jersey Devils (23-17-2, 48 points) vs Edmonton Oilers (16-23-3, 35 points)
Radio: WFAN 660 AM
The Devils will be in Edmonton tonight for their only game against the Oilers this season. New Jersey has only been to Rexall Place three times since 2001, and haven't played the Oilers since their overtime win back on November 12, 2010 at Prudential Center.
Bounce Back Game:
The Devils are coming off a bad loss to the Calgary Flames last night. In a game in which he believed Head Coach Peter DeBoer should have given him a better chance, Martin Brodeur was pulled 7 minutes into the game after giving up two soft goals, being replaced by Johan Hedberg. Moose didn't fair much better, giving up 2 more goals as the Devils fell behind 4-0 after only one period of hockey. They tried their best to comeback, scoring 2 goals in the second, but it was too little, too late, as they fell 6-3.
The Devils will look to bounce back tonight, against an Oilers team that is 4th from last in the NHL with just 35 points.
Hot, Hot, Hot:
Adam Henrique! Simply put, the kid has got it all. Since the young Canadian was recalled from Albany, he has done everything he can to solidify his place on this team. And last night was just another chapter on a possible Calder Trophy season, as Henrique got his first Gordie Howe Hat Trick, assisting on Kovalchuk's goal in the 2nd, and scoring a short handed goal a little over 2 minutes later. This, after he had already fought Jarome Iginla in the first period.
With Ryan Nugent-Hopkins out of the Oilers line-up, Henrique has a chance to pass him for the league lead amongst all rookies in Points, Goals and Assists. He is one point and one assist shy of tying Nugent-Hopkins, but his next goal will give him in the lead for goals scored by a Rookie.
Projected Devils Lineup:
Parise (C) – Henrique – Kovalchuk (A)
Sykora – Elias (A) – Zubrus
Janssen – Zalewski – Clarkson
Boulton – Carter – Tedenby
Salvador – Larsson
Taormina – Foster
Tallinder – Fayne
Scratches: Zajac, Josefson, Palmieri
The Latest on the Edmonton Oilers:
The Oilers have not played at home since December 22 because of the World Junior Championship. During this stretch they have only won one game out of their last seven. They haven't played since Saturday, when they faced the Dallas Stars and lost 4-1.
Oilers Stats Leaders:
Points – Jordan Eberle, 43
Goals – Jordan Eberle, 17
Assists – Jordan Eberle, 26
*Note – Eberle is currently out with a knee injury and not due to return until after the All-Star Break according to the team's website.
Projected Oilers Lineup:
Hall – Gagner – Hemsky
Smyth – Horcoff – Jones
Lander – Belanger – Paajarvi
Hordichuk – O'Marra – Eager
Smid – Potter
Sutton – Petry
Peckham – Teubert

Mico president urges innovative teaching
PRESIDENT of the Mico University College, Professor Claude Packer has challenged students of the institution to develop into teachers who can prepare students to think critically and solve problems rather than just pass examinations.
Packer is also urging the student-teachers to utilise calculators along with information and communication technology to improve learning in mathematics and other subject areas.
Addressing new students of Mico on the subject "Teacher education requires a radical transformation", he said local and regional examination curricula need to be revisited as many are "too content-driven with very little scope for applications to real-world problems".
The Mico president, who has long held the view that there is too much content in the Grade Six Achievement Test math exam, for example, called on teachers to prepare more fun and exciting lessons as many students find school boring.
He said schools need to play a greater role in shaping society's norms and values.
"How do we measure accomplishments? Is it the student with nine CSEC subjects with grade ones, but who might be a social moron, or the student who is able to problem-solve, able to apply principles to concepts, is sensitive to the needs/views of others, who values service, who is patriotic and Christ-like in many ways?" he asked.
Emphasising the importance of softer skills, such as proper dressing and grooming, Packer urged the teachers in training to "let students know it is not cute to be scruffy".
Stating that the use of calculators was not encouraged enough at the primary or lower-secondary level, he added that "calculator or computer utilisation should be an integral part of any discrete mathematics or statistics course".
Students should also collect their own data for use in statistics and math courses rather than use contrived data from a textbook, he said.
The Mico president also urged the use of online videos, podcasts, Skype and programmes like TuxMath to deliver lessons.
He has, too, called on teachers to use mobile phones and computers to deliver messages and homework from school.
"Encourage academic interaction through texting, and using websites, such as Twitter and Facebook. Be able to participate in discussions during office hours and through online tutorials," he said.


text: Great River Road Great River Road (Arkansas) National Scenic Byway View the Motorcycling Guide Online Now Marked by green-and-white highway signs depicting a steamboats pilot wheel, the Great River Road extends through 10 states along the Mississippi River from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. Designated a national scenic byway in 2002, Arkansas's portion of the route traverses part of the nation's largest alluvial plain, allowing travelers to experience both the mighty river and its legacy of shaping landscapes and lives along its path. Known in the region as the Delta, the plain covers in eastern Arkansas alone more than 15,000 square miles, including all or part of 27 of the state's 75 counties. Contained within the Deltas level expanse, Crowley's Ridge extends for 160 miles and rises as much as 200 feet above the surrounding lowlands. The unusual geological feature was formed when the ancestral Mississippi and Ohio rivers eroded away the land on each side and deposits of wind-blown soils added height to the remnant ridge. At the time of pioneer settlement, most Delta terrain was lowlands and swamps, rich in virgin timber and wildlife. Some two centuries later, it is largely agricultural, producing voluminous crops of soybeans, rice, cotton and wheat. For much of its length, the Great River Road (Arkansas) National Scenic Byway journeys through those agricultural lands, passing remnants of the original wetlands and traveling through towns whose histories and economies were influenced by the river. From Marianna to Helena, however, the route penetrates the woodlands of the St. Francis National Forest on Crowley's Ridge. The Route LENGTH: 362 miles. MAPS: Southern Section Northern Section THINGS TO KNOW: The major towns on the byway are Blytheville, West Memphis, Marianna, Helena, DeWitt, Dumas, McGehee and Lake Village. Lodging, dining and shopping opportunities in those and other communities can be researched using the links in the "Major Area Attractions" section below or by means of an interactive map at www.deltabyways.com/map.htm. Lodging options can also be searched by town and by the categories of "Motels/Hotels," "Bed and Breakfast" and "Campsites/Cabins" by visiting www.deltabyways.com/lodging. Camping is available at sites within the St. Francis National Forest. Two areas of cultural interest along the byway are Native Americans and blues music. The legacy of Arkansas's largest concentrations of Native Americans can be explored at the Hampson Museum and Parkin Archeological state parks. Arkansas's role in the development of blues music can be explored in interactive and audio exhibits at the Delta Cultural Center.

A Blog on Brands
Brands as we knew them as children were burnt on cattle.
The word brand began simply as a way to tell one person's cattle from another by means of a hot iron stamp. A legally protected brand name is called a trademark. The word brand has continued to evolve to encompass identity - it affects the personality of a product, company or service.
We knew who the cattle rustlers were and whose beef was the best, the most reliable, the healthiest. And that was the brand we wanted to have, Circle K being the most kosher, at least in the westerns we were watching.
Nowadays we find brands being born before we even know the product. Will Olympus Pictures become a brand for having made Rabbit Hole (Tipped for an Oscar, LionsGate has U.S.), Beginners (Focus has U.S.), Adam (Fox Searchlight has U.S.) and The Narrows? Participant is a brand for those who know the company's founding principles. Of course the major studios are brands, but people don't go to the movies because they say MGM, Universal or Paramount. They go because they're interested in the story. However they might go if the film says Fox Searchlight. Miramax had a certain brand recognition even for moviegoers. Its mythology, the stories of Harvey and Bob, the spawn of Mira and Max, could keep a party going for a long time.
Anne Thompson writes of Media Brand Names. Celebrities are the Brand Names for filmmakers. Transmedia's stock in trade are brands. Film buyers know certain international sales agents as "brands", most notably Summit or Wild Bunch. Consumers know Netflix Criterion, and maybe soon they will also recognize Mubi.
Craig Emanuel, head of Loeb & Loeb's Entertainment division points out that that Wherever the eyes are, there must be Brands.
What is the purpose of this blog? Just to point out that brands have certain responsibilities to their audiences and if new distribution companies are popping up like mushrooms, it will be their task to become brands to distinguish themselves and their movies from the masses of others out there. Right now, they all have brand parity and its a bit confusing.

Good points, Sydney. Of course, the biggest brand in media is DISNEY. Ask any family what movie is likely to serve their needs. They'll say "Disney."
Brands must be carefully cultivated and nurtured. They require consistency (e.g., never allow the use a period in Dr Pepper; that would not be consistent.) They grow out of good, sound marketing, and they take hold by being consistent and true.
Brands trigger an emotional response as well as presumptions of quality.
They can be mixed: when you think AT&T, you probably presume quality *and* you probably have a horrible emotional reaction to dealing with the company. In AT&T's case, the presumption of quality trumps the abysmal emotional response. In fact, their terrible emotional response is probably beyond reality; their bad brand cannot seem to rise above the fact that their customer service is improving (I think).
Yes, branding can be bad, too.
As filmmakers, the emotional response will trump the presumption of quality. People can have "feel good" vibes about a movie that has piss-poor production values.
For the indie filmmaker, the biggest issue about BRAND is "bankable talent." The notion of bankable talent is so much larger than life that filmmakers and distributors alike frequently cannot grasp that what they are talking about is BRAND.
The reason an actor is worth having in a movie is because of the actor's BRAND. An actor works hard to cultivate a consistent image that evokes emotional bonding and presumptions of quality. (Even when an actor "stretches" into unexpected parts, we want to follow them IF we have favorable feelings toward their brand--and for an opposite reaction, follow Joaquin Phoenix for the past two years. He *might* be able to redeem his brand.)
What is significant about realizing that we "need" actors because of their brand? Even though few distributors would grasp this--the rote requirement of bankable talent seems to rest on its own level, devoid of analysis about WHY any actor is bankable--the act of branding can be transferred to other resources besides actors.
The big actors have done all the heavy lifting, spending years cultivating a brand that can attract an audience. But there is always proof that there are other elements that can also attract audiences. For instance, EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP relied on the Banksy brand, even though he is not an actor. MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING may have been banking on the brand of the producers.
What brand drove PARANORMAL ACTIVITY to spectacular heights? It was pure marketing, the best marketing: a brand was created out of NOTHING. Kudos to Paramount! They built a brand from scratch, and now we watch as that brand is selling PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2 to equally astonishing heights. People had a strong emotional reaction and a presumption of quality toward PA2. Success!!
Never underestimate the power and requirement for marketing. BRANDS ARE BUILT WITH MARKETING. Marketing can even build a brand from scratch. A brand can come from a bankable actor...or, from nothing.

Consultative selling
R. Devarajan
Consultative selling involves a professional and umbilical connection with the customer, beyond the realm of normal seller-buyer equation. It implies creating an impact that is at once emphatic and enduring. In order to be accepted as a consultant to the buying company, the selling organisation must acquire full knowledge about the buying company, its values, and its philosophy.
The concept of consultative selling was first advocated in 1970 in a book jointly written by Hanan, Cribbin, and Heiser. The consultative seller's goal is to ensure success for his company, by helping the buying company to increase its profits. Towards this end, the consultative seller will understand and appreciate the needs and nuances of the buying company.
Developing solutions, rather than selling goods and services is the talisman and trademark of the consultative seller. It is thus that he builds value and creates customer loyalty and long-term relationship. Sometimes in the overall interests of the relationship between the two companies, the consultative seller may even dissuade the buying company from purchasing a product made by his company. While loyalty to his own company is doubtless a pre-eminent priority, the consultative seller will not allow such sentiments to jeopardise the welfare of his customer. This kind of a conflict-of-interest situation is a minefield, and must be negotiated wisely and carefully. On the whole, consultative selling is a mutually reinforcing and reciprocating relationship par excellence.

Dear Dog Lady,
We have a seven-year-old black lab named Schoodic who is a dog lover's dream come true. He is smart, funny, handsome, loyal and loving. He is extremely close to our daughter, Kate, who left the nest for college this year.
When we talk to Kate on Skype, she will often try to talk with Schoodic. We place the laptop close to him so he can see her, but he doesn't seem to be able to recognize Kate on the laptop. We have tried holding a dog biscuit close to the screen. He loved the treat but went back to staring into space. Do you have any suggestions for teaching dogs to cross the great technology divide? — Kate's Mom
A: You have a Lab Luddite. Dogs bark, but they have no byte. They are techno-nothings, digital innocents.
They understand technology only as far as you can throw a tennis ball. If they can't smell it, Skype doesn't exist. They can't taste it.
They can't relate to it in any way — except through the TV when some dogs get overly excited at the sight of other animals. They bark and jump at the screen because they presume the doggy through the looking glass is real. Alas, their hissy-fit is folly.
When Dog Lady is away and calls home, the dog refuses to listen to the telephone when Mr. Dog Lady holds the receiver up to his ear. Heck, our dear and sorely missed pet gets downright huffy — or confused — and walks away. He may hear a familiar voice, but he makes it known that the procedure is bothersome and he'd rather not be a part of it. Sounds like Schoodic and Skype.
Dogs are present in the present — not the far-off and illusory. They don't do holograms or ghosts in the machine. When Kate shows up in person, Schoodic will be all over her. For now, a dog biscuit near the laptop screen will have to sustain him. Don't force your Lab to interact with something or someone he does not know or care about.
