One quarter of companies spending more on online ads
LONDON - Online advertising grew in popularity more than any other media in the third quarter of 2004, as a quarter of companies revealed they spent more online than the quarter before.
According to the third-quarter 2004 Bellwether Report, a quarterly survey of marketing budgets published on behalf of the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising, only 6% of companies reported a decline in their online marketing budget.
Meanwhile, although one in four companies do not use the internet for marketing, the number allocating more than 10% of their marketing spend to the web rose to 10%.
The Bellwether Report found in its last study that 3% of ad revenues went online in 2003, surpassing the industry's own target of 2% by autumn 2004, as set by the Interactive Advertising Bureau.
John Owen, IPA Digital Marketing Group chairman and planning director of agency Dare Digital, said: "The growth of online marketing shows no signs of abating. If anything, the pace of that growth is getting faster as clients see the results for themselves. It's particularly interesting that a record number of advertisers are now allocating 10% or more of their total budget to the internet."

firefox messed up the download nevermind.. gonna try those dps meters this weekend and see whats up
Ok.. installed it... but i cant get it to parse anything. The plugin you linked is enabled... but where are the logs?
alrighty got them installed and running.
5 runs of khit in my setup - average of 7400 dps (doing same thing)
what do you suggest i swap out my torpedo boff abilities with when i switch to just dhc's? (both lieutenant torpedo spread II)??
Ok did some more testing.
10 Khitomer runs doing same thing (pop n kill cubes close to the small portal, then pop n kill far cubes and transformers. then settling in the probe path and taking down the gate and all the probes with my mines and aoe.)
only including runs that i did that. any that i was on sole probe duty i did not include in this. Havent gotten enough runs of that to do a 10 run average yet.
So far im averaging 7450 encdps with 6,520,000 total damage. (running 3 dhc 1 quan torp up front.. 2 tric mines and 1 turret in back)
My runs with 1 dbb 1 dhc 1dc and 1 quan torp up front are averaging 7500 dps with 6,600,000 dps...
Minimal changes between the 2. (probably because most of the damage seems to come from the torp spreads and the mines.)
ill post back when i have a better sample size to work with. still too small a pool for me to say either way.

A degree from an accredited online university is still a smart investment
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- It's New Year's resolution time, and adults across the country are looking for ways to make positive changes to their lives. One resolution that can have a positive and lasting impact is completing a bachelor's or master's degree. Earning a college degree nearly doubles lifetime earning potential, and even during the recession, the unemployment rate for college graduates was less than half of what it was for those who had not completed college. For busy adults whose 2013 resolution is to finish their degree, nonprofit Western Governors University (WGU), www.wgu.edu, offers affordable, online degree programs that are recognized by employers for their quality.
WGU has more than 50 bachelor's and master's degree programs in the high-demand career fields of business, K–12 teacher education, information technology, and health professions, including nursing. Courses are developed in collaboration with representatives from each industry to ensure that they meet employer needs. In addition, WGU regularly surveys employers of its graduates to obtain feedback regarding their preparation for their jobs. In the most recent employer survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, 97% of employers said that WGU graduates met or exceeded their expectations, and 95% rated the performance of WGU graduates as good as or better than graduates from other universities.
WGU graduates also give the university high marks for academic quality and career relevance. In a recent survey of WGU graduates, 96% said they would recommend WGU to others. This compares very favorably to a national Harris Poll Online survey of new college graduates—just 59% of those surveyed indicated that they would recommend their college to others. WGU graduates also reported that what they learned was more relevant to their careers (82%), versus 65% in the national poll.
Established in 1997 by 19 U.S. governors to expand access to quality higher education, WGU uses an innovative approach to teaching and learning designed to meet the needs of adult learners. This approach, called competency-based education, allows students to earn their degrees by demonstrating what they know and can do rather than spending time in class to accumulate credit hours. Students have 24/7 access to learning resources and can study on their own schedules. WGU faculty members serve as mentors, working individually with students to facilitate their learning and ensure their success. Because students are able to move through courses as quickly as they are able, the average time to complete a bachelor's degree at WGU is 35 months.
Tuition at WGU is affordable, about $6,000 per year for most degree programs, and students may complete as many courses as they are able in any term for the same flat rate. Federal financial aid is available, and WGU also offers competitive scholarship programs. To learn about WGU's degree programs, financial aid, scholarship programs, and more, go to www.wgu.edu/2013.
While many resolutions are being made at this time of year, many will be abandoned or forgotten in just a few months. This year, consider a resolution that can change your future—to finish a bachelor's or master's degree from an accredited online university.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

This miniature of the Prince as an elegant, fashion conscious young man may have been commissioned as a gift for the actress Mary 'Perdita' Robinson, the Prince's mistress in 1782. It was one of Cosway's first miniatures for George who appointed him 'Painter to the Prince of Wales' in 1785. Over the following twenty years, Cosway - a supreme connoisseur - was also the Prince's leading advisor on artistic matters.

Some would say that if a coin flip comes up heads 20 times, the next flip still has a 50-50 chances of coming up tails. If the author saw a coin come up heads 20 times, though, he'd suspect it would come up heads the next time. That's because there are multiple levels of uncertainty.

Minimising Payment Vehicle Bias in Contingent Valuation Studies
ABSTRACT The payment vehicle is a crucial element inapplications of the contingent valuation methodbecause it provides the context for payment. However,in many countries a relative unfamiliarity with theuse of tax levies and referenda can affect theplausibility of payment vehicles and lead to paymentvehicle bias. The most commonly used approach fordetermining whether payment bias exists is to usetests of convergent validity. It is demonstrated thatsimple tests of convergent validity can be ineffectivein diagnosing the existence of payment vehicle bias.Payment vehicle bias is found to occur because ofdifferences in the coverage of payment vehicles anddoubts about payment being one-off. When respondentsare found to be protesting against a particularpayment vehicle, the current state of the art approachis to delete them from the sample. In this paper analternative approach that relies on the recoding ofprotest responses is proposed. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 2000

Article: Public preferences for establishing nephrology facilities in Greenland: estimating willingness-to-pay using a discrete choice experiment.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: At present there are no nephrology facilities in Greenland. Greenlandic patients with renal failure needing dialysis thus have to travel to Denmark to obtain treatment. For patients in haemodialysis this necessitates a permanent residence in Denmark. Our study was aimed at examining Greenlanders' preferences for establishing nephrology facilities in Greenland at Queen Ingrid's Hospital in Nuuk, and to estimate the associated change in welfare. Preferences were elicited using a discrete choice experiment (DCE). A random sample of 500 individuals of the general population was sent a postal questionnaire in which they were asked to consider the trade-offs of establishing nephrology facilities in Greenland as opposed to the current situation. This involved trading off the benefits of having such facilities in their home country against the costs of the intervention. Besides including a payment attribute described in terms of incremental tax payment, the DCE included two interventions attributes related to (1) the organisation of labour, and (2) the physical settings of the patients. Respondents succeeded in answering the DCE despite cultural and linguistic disparity. We found that all the included attributes had a significant effect on respondents' choices, and that respondents' answers to the DCE were in keeping with their values as stated in the questionnaire. DCE data was analyzed using a random parameter logit model reparametrized in willingness-to-pay space. The results showed that establishing facilities in Greenland were preferred to the current treatment in Denmark. The welfare estimate from the DCE, at DKK 18.74 million, exceeds the estimated annual costs of establishing treatment facilities for patients with chronic renal failure. Given the estimated confidence interval this result seems robust. Establishing facilities in Greenland therefore would appear to be welfare-improving, deriving positive net benefits. Despite the relatively narrow policy focus, we believe that our findings provide some insight into individuals' preferences for decentralization of public services and on citizens' views of 'self-governance' that go beyond the case of Greenland. More generally, this paper illustrates how DCE can be applied successfully to developing countries with culturally, demographically, and geographically distinct features.The European Journal of Health Economics 09/2012; · 2.10 Impact Factor
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It is a well-known empirical finding that some percentage of respondents participating in Stated Preference surveys will not give responses that reflect their true preferences. One reason is protest behaviour. If the distribution of protest responses is not independent of respondent or survey characteristics, then simply expelling protesters from surveys can lead to sample selection bias. Furthermore, WTP estimates will not be comparable across surveys. This paper seeks to explore potential causes of protest behaviour through a meta-study based on full datasets from 38 different surveys. The objective of the study is to examine the effect of respondent specific variables as well as survey specific variables on protest behaviour. Our results suggest that some of the differences in WTP typically observed between different demographic groups, different elicitation formats and different question formats might actually be attributed to inherent differences in the propensity to protest. Our results indicate that the propensity for respondents to exhibit protest behaviour when asked a stated preference type valuation question depends on a number of specific factors, respondent specific as well as survey specific—knowledge which could be used in order to reduce protest behaviour.Environmental and Resource Economics 05/2014; 58(1):35-57. · 1.52 Impact Factor
Article: 'When to Take "No" for an Answer'? Using Entreaties to Reduce Protests in Contingent Valuation Studies[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report the results of two field experiments to investigate the usefulness of entreaties in reducing protest zero responses in contingent valuation (CV) studies. These two experiments estimate willingness to pay for tropical biodiversity amongst distant beneficiaries and for reductions in water supply risks, respectively. The entreaties in both contexts, in essence, entailed an additional text to 'talk people out of their protests' using, respectively, a split sample test and a within sample test. Results indicate that, in both cases, these scripts were effective in significantly reducing protest zeros, with one experiment reducing protests at the payment principle stage of the valuation scenario and the other reducing protests at the payment elicitation stage. Using entreaties in this way tentatively may be a useful contribution to the existing CV literature where protests rates are high and, moreover, appear to 'defy' efforts to address the issue through best practice in the design and testing of survey instruments. However, while protests were reduced by about a third in both cases, the entreaties clearly did not eliminate a majority of protest zeros. Moreover, as we discuss, there are good reasons why the responses of 'reclaimed' protestors remain open to scrutiny.Environmental and Resource Economics 01/2011; 51(4):497-523. · 1.52 Impact Factor

Vintage Images of Unidentified Ladies from the The Hattie Maybell Collection
(IF ANY READER HAS THE EXPERTISE TO "DATE" THESE PHOTOS MORE ACCURATELY, PLEASE INFORM ME. A collector of vintage African American images suggested that they were taken around 1880. )
Take note of the difference in the two dresses, but the similarity in the facial expressions. In addition to their identity, I wonder about their age, occupation and location. I wanted to bring them out of the boxes, trunks and chifferobes where they had languished for decades. I may not know who they are, but one day, they were somebody to somebody. Live on ladies!
In order to maintain my self imposed commitment to posting consistently, I've decided to share selected vintage photographs as I continue to research and and subsequently write detailed posts. The promised post revealing the unraveling of Grandfather Giles' health, marriage and fortune is yet under construction.
Prepare yourself for this! It's a confession. Recently, I've actually struggled mightily with the whole concept of truth. I've found it difficult to tell the truth… rather, the whole truth! When I began this blog, I naively assumed and believed that total candor would be easy and total transparency wouldn't challenge me. It has and it does. It has given me great pride to peer into the prosperous lives of The Williams Family, specifically Grandfather Giles. He was a self made success story and it is painful to disclose that his success would not last. Although, I am tempted to exclusively use only the "bright colors on the palette", I am committed to telling the full story. While documenting this history, I will make a concerted effort to avoid lying, either by commission or OMISSION!
Thank you for reading.

Port Commission of the Port of Houston approves four new electric cranes for Barbours Cut Container
Port Commission of the Port of Houston approves four new electric cranes for Barbours Cut Container TerminalDemonstrating continued investment in infrastructure improvements to better serve customers, the Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority selected Konecranes Finland Corporation to supply four dockside electric container cranes for Wharf No. 1 at Barbours Cut Container Terminal.
The Port Commission authorized negotiation of a contract with Konecranes for the equipment, which is part of a significant renovation under way at Barbours Cut, the Port Authority's first container terminal. Opened in 1977, the Barbours Cut Container Terminal has grown to be one of the premier container-handling facilities in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. A planned $700 million project to modernize this critical facility will include new cranes, lights and dock improvements to provide customers more efficient cargo handling with expanded capability to handle larger ships.
Two Foreign Trade Zone matters were also approved, one for an expansion of FTZ 84, of which the Port Authority is the grantee, and one to create a new subzone. FTZ 84 is one of the largest zones in the U.S. and according to the latest report to Congress, more value passes through it than any other FTZ in the nation, exporting more than $5 billion worth of goods annually.
The Port Commission also approved the Port Authority's fiscal year 2012 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). External auditors Grant Thornton, LLP gave an unqualified or "clean" audit opinion of Port Authority financial records, Commission Chairman Janiece Longoria reported in her introductory remarks at the meeting
Longoria recognized Executive Director Len Waterworth on his first anniversary with the Port Authority (he was named to the permanent position on April 24, 2012), noting a record year in 2012 with many achievements to take pride in.
Longoria also reported she was "very pleased" with the news that the International Longshoremen's Association and the U.S. Maritime Alliance had agreed on a new, six-year contract.
"We couldn't get the work done without their efforts," she said. "We are the envy of ports in the U.S. because of our good relationship with labor."
Longoria noted that Commissioner Jim Fonteno would be stepping down from his volunteer service as a Port Commissioner and said that she would formally recognize him at the May Port Commission meeting, as Fonteno was not present at the meeting.
Longoria also reported that the Port Authority had added the Port of Istanbul to its long list of trade partners. Longoria and Gani Aygün, president of the Port of Istanbul, signed the Memorandum of Friendship and Trade Cooperation on April 2 as part of the Turkey-Houston Business Conference organized in conjunction with the launch of Turkish Airline's inaugural non-stop flight between Istanbul and Houston.
Concluding her remarks, Longoria said she wanted to express her optimism for the future, noting the Port of Houston's status as the top export port for 11 years, contributing nearly $179 billion and one million jobs to the region. She thanked everyone at the table for their contributions in ensuring the port's mandate to sustain jobs and generate economic impact.
In his monthly report, Executive Director Len Waterworth said that total tonnage at Port Authority facilities for the month of March had increased 6 percent due in large part to containers, which increased by 97,000 tons while year-to-date total tonnage of 8.7 million tons is up slightly by 2 percent.
The improvement for the year comes largely from container tonnage, with an increase of 413,000 tons or 9 percent, offset by a decline in steel of 305,000 tons or 20 percent. March operating revenues were $18.3 million, down by 7 percent over last year, given expiration of a 2012 dredge placement agreement. Year-to-date March revenue of $57.5 million reflects a $3 million or 6 percent increase, again driven by containers.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses for March were dow

What is RSS?
Last updated at 22:39, Monday, 04 February 2008
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is a service that delivers to you the latest news headlines, saving you the time and trouble of having to click from one area to another to get what you want.
For example, if you're a Carlisle United fan and all you want is to read the latest United headlines, you could use RSS to give you the Carlisle headlines.
How do I start using it?
First of all, you need a news reader. Though they all largely do the same thing, there are a lot of different ones available and you can either use them through your browser or via a downloadable application. They all allow you to subscribe to the RSS feeds you want.
Different readers work for different operating systems, so check that the one you choose is suitable before you download it.
Some different readers include:
- NewzCrawler
- FeedDemon
- Awasu
- Mac OS X
- Newsfire
- NetNews
- My Yahoo!
- NewsGator
Once you have decided on your reader, the next step is to decide what content you want. For example, if you want the latest news stories, visit the main news section and you will see an orange button on the left hand side.
By clicking on the button, you can subscribe to the feed in a number of different ways, including copying and pasting the URL directly into the news reader.
Some internet browsers, such as Firefox, Opera and Safari, can automatically get the latest RSS feeds for you. Check the appropriate website for more details.
Using RSS feeds on your site
The use of our RSS feeds as part of a website is encouraged, subject to our terms and conditions. We do not accept any liability for our RSS feeds.
Terms and conditions
1.1. You must create a functional link back to the story(ies) summarised by the content.
1.2. You may not directly or indirectly change, edit, add to or produce summaries of the content or any content on our website or place any full-story newspaper content in an HTML frame-set.

Harvard College Library Wintersession looks forward, to the past
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
News from Harvard schools, offices, and affiliates
In a 2007 excavation of Harvard Yard, archaeology students unearthed a handful of metal fragments, each imprinted with a letter. The pieces, which were determined to be 17th-century movable type, root the history of printing at the feet of current students and gave context for Houghton Library's letterpress printing workshop during this year's Wintersession.
Across campus, faculty and staff explored editorial production on the other end of the technological spectrum. "Multimedia Exposed," a series of symposiums led by the Expanding the Boundaries of Authorship group, Lamont Library's Multimedia Lab, and other campus organizations, investigated emerging tools for authoring with digital media.
The events punctuated 10 days of lectures, hands-on presentations, and panels hosted throughout the Harvard College Library and FAS Libraries as part of this year's January term. The sessions are built to enrich learning in a relaxed setting removed from the demanding pace of the semester schedule.

Since the beginning of December, a Baltic storm has been buffeting Sweden with snow and frigid, 35-40 mph winds. Though air travel was disrupted, the Heavy Weather hasn't stopped Stockholm electro/R&B collective Newtimers from touching down on our pages with their first Booth feature, a new single off their official debut project. Brought to our attention by Hypetrak, this atmospheric jam finds Tim Lundblad and Andreas Cavaco telling the story of a romance that began in a flash and fell apart just as quickly, backed by a warm wash of synths and crisp, reverb-drenched percussion. Like what you're hearing? More awaits on the Newtimers' EGO EP, due out digitally on Wednesday, January 9.

Our new Waimea General Store Visors are now available! We have carried Kahala Creations visors for many years and unfortunately they are currently unavailable. When and if they become available, we will again offer them to you. We think you will like our new alternative to the well known Kahala Creations visor. We have a excellent seamstress in Hilo who is making a quality product. They are machine washable, soft and comfortable, made right here on the Big Island, and made to last. We will be adding new fabrics shortly. Give our new visors a try and please give us your feedback! MAHALO!

Great visor. Great colors and very good quality.
Posted by Unknown on 11th Oct 2014
Love this visor. Just bought 3. Super comfy and unlike most visors that give me a headache after five minutes, I can wear these all day and no problems or headache. Would love to see them in some solid colors too , would buy even more.
Posted by Gretchen on 10th Oct 2014
Loved the customer service, the speedy delivery with hand written personal note and gift wrapping was top notch. The only place to find these great visors!!! The recipient had two visors from here for years and years and they are so well loved we needed to order new ones!! Glad to have such a great store and great customer service to work with!!
Posted by Cyn on 29th Sep 2014
I was amazed at how quickly my order arrived! I was thrilled to see a purple visor offered. I live in Virginia but I actually called their store several months ago & spoke to a nice gentleman who said he would keep my name & email and let me know whenever they had a purple fabric! I purchased my first two Hawaiian print visors in 1978 and am still wearing them! They have both been washed more times than I can count, and they are still beautiful! I get compliments everytime I wear them. I can't wait to wear my new purple & white print visor! Now I own 5 of them! Thank you for such fast and superb service! Mahalo!
Posted by ddsd13 on 18th Sep 2014
I ordered 2 (more) Waimea General Store visors and they arrived promptly. I've used these for years! Velcro closure makes them highly adjustable for different hair styles or head sizes. AND the cotton fabric visor is washable to get rid of sweat and grime. My FAVORITE FEATURE: the visor brim runs around to the sides, providing much more sun coverage and diminishing more glare. Terrific for running, hiking, ball games. I even wear these visors IN the pool! They dry fairly quickly (I just hang them or lay them flat) so I can enjoy more time cooling off in So Cal! Much better and more attractive than a baseball cap & cooler to wear than a traditional hat. I highly recommend these visors and the Hawaiian fabrics in so many colors are absolutely lovely.
Posted by Unknown on 10th Sep 2014
Great product-am ordering two more now.
The colors very very pretty. Thanks
We purchased one several years ago (7) and it is wearing out.
Posted by Sally on 9th Sep 2014
I have been so sad that the Kahala visors became unavailable. I have 5 and they are all looking sad after many washings and days in the sun. the one I ordered from Waimea General store is just like the old ones and I am thrilled. I would love to see some solid colors too...or maybe solid on the top and some cool Hawaiian pattern under the brim!
Posted by Unknown on 15th Aug 2014
I've worn Kahala Creations visors for years and was so happy to find the same style visor offered by the Waimea General Store. These are the most comfortable and colorful visors I've worn. Love the Hawaiian prints, and I'm glad I ordered 2. My only suggestion would be to have a few solid color choices so I can order even more!
Posted by JERRY on 14th Aug 2014
This was a very nice gift for my Wife's birthday. I wanted to take her over there for our 6th visit but will wait another year.
We have had a lot of people ask about the visor and all like it. They said they might ordered from you soon. Thanks again for your fast service-she got it before her birthday and could wear it on a short mini trip.
I will be ordering another one very soon, she likes the color's.
Posted by Julie on 4th Aug 2014
My friends and I wear these visors daily exercising in TX. The last few years we have been unable to find them anywhere. Waimea General Store to the rescue! Decided to give it a try since my old ones are faded and tattered. Perfect!! Your source has done an excellent job of making these. Other than the new label they are identical. Kudos for the fast delivery service too. I am thrilled to discover them!
Thanks, WGS:)

Health Beat: A state of slim – the Colorado diet
Updated On: Nov 28 2013 04:39:38 PM CST
One third of all Americans are obese, but one state, Colorado, consistently defies that trend. Researchers at the University of Colorado in Denver studied lean Coloradans to find out what they seem to know instinctively.
For years, Colorado has ranked the number one leanest state in the country. So, why are the people in this state skinnier than others?
"It really is about getting your metabolism to burn fat and to burn the fuel you are eating," said Dr. Holly Wyatt, associate director, Anschutz Health and Wellness Center, University of Colorado Denver.
Secrets of the state of slim are revealed in a new book, "The Colorado Diet." Wyatt said the key is to watch what you eat: portion control is more important than counting calories, while you are also increasing your metabolism.
"We don't really manipulate it. What I like to say is we optimize it," Wyatt said.
She also suggests to eat often, but eat right. That means eat something every two to four hours, adding up to six times a day and eat breakfast within an hour of waking up. But what's the number one key to the mile high mind set?
"We've got to get that activity in," Wyatt said.
Wyatt said you should eventually devote 70 minutes a day to physical activity. So, if you are watching your child's soccer practice, walk laps around the field or meet a friend for a walk instead of dinner. Also, make sure you choose your friends wisely.
"What we know is the people you hang around with tend to influence your behavior," said Wyatt, suggesting that no matter where you are, you can live and look like a Coloradan.
Another plus for Coloradans is that it's cold. According to the University of Alabama, keeping ourselves too comfortable reduces the energy we expend to stay warm in the winter. So, turn down your thermostat this winter, save money, and turn up your metabolism.

No one can deny the aging of our population in general, and of the emergency department patient load in particular. But there is some disagreement about how EDs should respond – specifically whether it is appropriate to design geriatric emergency departments.
According to the Rand Report, the ED routinely makes the most important decision for hospital survival – whether or not to admit. The next question is what the healthcare system will do with that information.
The numbers don't lie. The emergency department (ED) is the front door to the hospital for the sickest patients, and those that need inpatient service. The 2012 survey results of the Emergency Department Benchmarking Alliance (EDBA) – which compiled data from about 1,000 EDs comprising over 38 million patients – indicate that over 68% of hospital admissions are processed through the ED.
A 25-year-old woman presents to the emergency department having syncopized in the waiting room, where she was triaged with the chief complaint of abdominal pain. Ectopic pregnancy immediately bubbles to the top of your differential diagnosis.
It is a busy Friday evening in the emergency department when you get called to the resuscitation bay for a 14-year-old female who was the restrained back seat passenger in a rollover motor vehicle crash. After a thorough initial inspection you find that the patient has a large laceration to the lateral side of her left ankle, and swelling that suggests either a fracture or a severe sprain or dislocation.
I believe that every physician, nurse, PA, NP, tech and clerk who works in an ED should periodically have an organ removed. We have lots of organs that will only get us into trouble, so let's remove them before that happens. Hey, we don't need that appendix or gall bladder, and the ladies can get rid of that bothersome uterus once they hit the menopause.
When the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law on March 23, 2010, the year 2014 seemed a long way off. Now that we are on the down side of 2013, the "big" changes of the ACA are fast approaching. Some are good, some are bad, and some are just plain ugly.
This month EPM asked 17,003 emergency physicians how they felt about tPA and stroke.
The jury is still out among EPs as to whether tPA helps more than it hurts, yet ACEP has forged ahead with clinical guidelines which seem to ignore controversial findings.
Emergency Physicians Monthly has teamed up with the board prep pros at Rosh Review to bring you a mini board review, so that you can test yourself on a regular basis and track your progress. The following is the test – and answers – from the June edition of Emergency Physicians Monthly. Questions about the test? Talk back on Twitter @epmonthly.

As millions of Americans brace for a slew of new potential taxes next year, Shell – the U.S. subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A) – is contemplating which state it wants its next big tax break from.
West Virginia passed legislation in January that would give Shell a 25-year property tax break if it sets up a new $2-billion operation there.
And according to the Associated Press, "Pennsylvania offered 15 years, and Ohio has reportedly offered major incentives."
It should be no surprise these states are competing to win Shell over.
After all, they're located in the heart of the Marcellus Shale region, the largest shale gas deposit in the world. And as CBS News reports, Shell "would create 12,000 jobs, both direct and indirect" and "provide $600 million in wages annually."
[Related -Calculating A Stock's Fair Value Based On Future Growth Expectations: Part 2A]
But you may be surprised to know that Shell isn't preparing to start fracking for more natural gas in this region. Instead, it's going to start "cracking" it.
Last month, I wrote about how cheap natural gas is creating a number of opportunities to profit in the plastics industry.
As I explained, ethane is a natural component of natural gas. And through various cooling and heating procedures, can be turned into ethylene, one of the primary building blocks for producing plastics.
[Related -Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Helps CBS Corporation (CBS) Make That Money]
Facilities that specialize in turning ethane into ethylene are called cracking plants.
For Shell, its newest cracking facility will be the fifth plant it will have set up in the United States. And the best part…. it's just one of many plants about to be built.
The Associated Press says several other companies are interested in building cracking facilities in the Marcellus Shale region.
But there are also several plans in the works to build cracking plants all around the nation.
Bloomberg reports, "Chevron Phillips Chemical Co. plans to spend about $5 billion to build an ethane cracker in Texas, while Dow Chemical Co. (NYSE: DOW) and Sasol Ltd. (NYSE: SSL) each plan to spend as much as $4.5 billion on crackers in Louisiana."
And those are just a few examples.
It's bigger companies like Shell, Dow and Sasol that stand to benefit mostly from building cracking plants over the coming years.
That's because most state tax breaks are only for companies prepared to invest at least $1 billion in building these already expensive facilities.
But with natural gas prices so low, the cost to turn ethane into ethylene is much cheaper than it was just a few years ago. And companies that specialize in this are set to boost profit margins a great deal as more cracking plants get built around the United States.
Good Investing,

Management is very laid back when problems arise.
Job description means nothing as your are pushed in different segments of workplace without compensation.
Managers can be too touchy touchy.
Yes they have a green initiative but what they do not mention is the vast amounts of paper that is wasted between mailing, faxing and printing.Advice to ManagementAdvice
I feel your managers come from outer space please train these candidates in business principals.
Become more efficient by reducing endless waste of paper and bureaucracy within the company.
Put in place bonuses for managers so their is an incentive for them to improve overall.

SEGLAR, TEXAS. Seglar was six miles east of Lytle and twenty-one miles southwest of downtown San Antonio in southwestern Bexar County. It was settled sometime after the Civil War as Briggs, after George A. Briggs who served as first postmaster. A post office, named Seglar, probably for a local merchant, opened in 1891, and by 1896 the settlement had a cotton gin, a Baptist church, and a grocer. The post office was closed in 1906, and by the 1930s the town was no longer shown on maps.
