France, 2009 (MIFF 2010, International Panorama)
Director: Jessica Hausner
"Sly and suggestive, Lourdes is a cosmic black comedy that bumps up against the metaphysical." - Time Out New York
Skeptical multiple sclerosis sufferer Christine (Sylvie Testud) claims she isn't on a pilgrimage - she just likes to visit the French Catholic shrine of Lourdes as an excuse to get out. But like the 1.5 million other visitors that Lourdes receives each year, she's going through the motions with the blind hope that miracles can happen even amongst the tourists and souvenir stores.
With slow-paced dry wit and a masterful visual sensibility, filmmaker Jessica Hausner (Lovely Rita; Hotel, MIFF 2004) achieves a quiet triumph observing the inner-workings of the inexplicable.
Multi-award winner including the FIPRESCI prize at the 2009 Venice Film Festival.

Cubs top pitching prospect C.J. Edwards to have MRI
BY GORDON WITTENMYER Staff Reporter April 24, 2014 10:18PM
Updated: May 26, 2014 6:44AM
The Cubs' top pitching prospect, C.J. Edwards, is scheduled to have an MRI on his ailing right shoulder Friday morning after being examined by team orthopedist Stephen Gryzlo on Thursday.
Team officials said it was too early to speculate on the extent of the possible injury.
Edwards, who pitched a season-high six innings Sunday in a victory for Class AA Tennessee, experienced tightness in the shoulder during a scheduled side session Wednesday.
Baseball America's 28th-ranked prospect overall is 1-0 with a 2.61 ERA in four starts with 20 strikeouts in 202/3 innings.
Edwards, acquired in the Matt Garza trade from the Texas Rangers last July, is expected to be the fourth prospect to go on the disabled list already among the Cubs' top six.
Class AAA shortstop Javy Baez (ankle) and Class AA pitcher Pierce Johnson (hamstring) have returned to playing. Class A outfielder Jorge Soler (hamstring) still is rehabbing in Mesa, Ariz.
Soler and another top-five prospect, Albert Almora, missed significant time because of injuries last year.
"Having these guys healthy is a huge part of it," general manager Jed Hoyer said of the Cubs' ground-up rebuilding process. "The more at-bats they get, the more innings they throw, the more they learn.
"You can't develop guys [on] the bench. I almost feel like I'd rather see a guy struggle than to see a guy hurt. A struggle can be a learning experience. I feel like injuries, there's no benefit from a guy not playing."
Wasted cake?
That didn't last long. That spectacle of a 400-pound "Edible Confines" cake the famed Cake Boss, Buddy Valastro, created to look like Wrigley Field for the ballpark's centennial?
Almost as quickly as it was shown off for VIP
partygoers at the annual Bricks and Ivy Ball at the Field Museum on Wednesday night, it was unceremoniously tossed in a dumpster Thursday morning.
The Cubs issued a statement Thursday, saying they "are disappointed in how our Wrigley Field display cake was disposed of by the Field Museum following our successful charity event. The team made a decision not to serve the edible portion after the cake was on display outside Wrigley Field for most of the day. Though the cake was mostly made up of non-edible material, it certainly does not excuse how a celebratory cake artfully created by Buddy Valastro and Carlo's Bakery was handled."
As expected, the Cubs put outfielder Justin Ruggiano on the DL because of a Grade 2 hamstring strain suffered in Wednesday's game.
◆ Right-hander Blake Parker was optioned to Class AAA Iowa, and the Cubs recalled two rookie relievers, left-hander Zac Rosscup and right-hander Neil Ramirez.

Continuing our cadre of GTX 760 cards, we're back today with ASUS' offering, the ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II, OC Edition. It is overclocked slightly over the base GTX 760, but not quite as far as the EVGA card we looked at before. Let's see what ASUS has to offer!
Specifications & Features
The GTX 760 DirectCU II OC (technically, the GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5, occasionally referred to hereinafter as GTX 760 DCU II) comes with a base clock of 1006 MHz and a rated boost of 1072 MHz. Of course, like nearly all GPU Boost and Boost 2.0 cards, the actual operating frequency will be higher. 1072 MHz is the frequency the card is guaranteed to boost to.
Aside from the increased GPU clocks, the technical specifications are just like the reference GTX 760 design.
Meet the ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II OC
ASUS always packages their cards well, and the GTX 760 is no exception. The box continues their interesting 'something clawed this!' motif.
The accessories aren't plentiful with the GTX 760 DCU II, consisting of a speed setup guide, driver disc & single power adapter.
Now we get to the card itself, which is a good looking card. Coming with ASUS' tried and true red & black color scheme, we have an updated look to the DirectCU II cooler shroud.
More photos!
Unlike the EVGA card, which had two power plugs, the ASUS GTX 760 DCU II OC comes with a single, 8-pin PCIe power plug. That should be fine on a card with this relatively low TDP and is actually a very good thing for people with smaller power supplies.
The video outputs are standard NVIDIA fare, with outputs including two DVI, one HDMI and one full size Display Port.
Externally, it's a good looking card. Let's take that DirectCU II cooler off and have a look underneath.
Under the Hood
Pulling the heatsink off, you can see we have the same problem we did with the ACX cooler – the GPU's too small for the heatpipes. The outer heatpipes don't contact the GPU at all. This isn't a huge problem, as some heat will be moved about by the aluminum structure into which the heatpipes are mounted, but the middle two will be doing most of the heavy lifting.
ASUS gave some thought to MOSFET cooling as well, installing a separate heatsink on those.
Here we have the bare card and both heatsinks removed.
The PCB on this card is substantially smaller than its cooler. Stick a water block on this thing and you've got the perfect ultra-small form factor card. Even with its cooler, it doesn't quite extend the full width of an ATX motherboard.
The DirectCU II heatsink has four heatpipes and its sole job is to cool the GPU. It doesn't make contact with any RAM nor the MOSFET heatsink, though its fans help cool the latter underneath.
For a compact design, this version of the DirectCU II heatsink packs a punch, with four heatpipes cooled by a good stack of aluminum fins and two 100 mm fans. The fans are ASUS' dust proof fan.
The smaller power heatsink had good contact with all of the MOSFETs
As mentioned, there is a single 8-pin PCIe power connector on the GTX 760 DCU II.
The power section on this card isn't huge, but ASUS makes up for it with some stronger chokes. There are four phases for the GPU and one for the memory.
ASUS has plenty to say about their Super Alloy Power design. You can read as well as I can regurgitate it to you, so please feel free to go through the slides. Long story short – the chokes, caps & MOSFETs are upgraded.
There is also ASUS' new "Direct Power", a bus bar of sorts that's supposed to decrease impedance for power delivery, which is reported to decrease heat and allow for more stable power delivery. That is probably not going to do a whole lot to help, but it's better to have manufacturers innovating and trying new things than having them just pass on reference designs.
The GTX 760 line all comes with memory from Hynix, model number H5GQ2H24AFR, rated at 1.5 V and 6008 MHz (quad-pumped 1502 MHz).
Last, but not least, we have the GK104 GPU itself.
The GTX 760 DirectCU II's PCB is compact but powerful. For a card at this level, I'd rather see a more tightly packed PCB like this than the spread out almost-blank PCB extension on EVGA's card. This PCB fits this level of card perfectly.
Test Setup
Like all our new test setups, this one comes with an i7 4770K Haswell CPU clocked at 4.0 GHz and RAM at DDR3-1866/9-9-9-24. There is plenty of competition for today's review too, with two different GTX 760′s plus several other competing cards.
|i7 4770K @ 4.0 GHz
|ASUS Maximus VI Extreme
|G.Skill TridentX DDR3-2600 @ 1866MHz 9-9-9-24
|ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II OC
HIS HD 7950 IceQ X2
ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II TOP
|Windows 7 Professional x64
This card is perfect for SFF (small form factor) gaming and HTPC systems, fitting well within the profile of a regular ATX board.
Stock Boost 2.0 Frequency
Of course, rated boost clock on these cards (in this case, 1072 MHz) isn't typically what the card will run. This GTX 760 DCU II boosts to 1136.6 MHz at stock.
As you can see, the DirectCU II cooler had no problem keeping the GPU from its default target temperature, so you get a constant boost throughout.
Overclocking comes to the GTX 760 DCU II courtesy of ASUS' GPU Tweak software. For those used to overclocking NVIDIA with offsets, they conveniently include both offset and actual measures on these screens. This sample managed a 24/7 stable +125 MHz GPU offset and +1200 MHz (300 MHz actual) memory offset, not bad at all.
What "1196 MHz" in GPU Tweak actually means in real life is a not-too-shabby 1267.3 MHz throughout the benchmarks, with temperatures not even close to the 94 °C target temperature.
All benchmarks and games passed at these frequencies and again we'll show 3DMark Fire Strike as our example.
Solid stock and overclocked frequencies are looking good fso far.
Temperature and Power Consumption
Now that I've put two cards through the ringer, we can bring you graphs for temperature and power consumption. Starting with temperature, you can see the ASUS DirectCU II cooler does a slightly better job cooling the GPU than the ACX cooler on EVGA's offering. This difference may have been introduced partially because the MOSFETs on the EVGA card are cooled by the overall ACX cooler and the DirectCU II cooler is focused solely on the GPU itself.
Interestingly, the ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II pulls more power than the EVGA GTX 760 SC. It's not much more, but it is indeed more.
Even with slightly increased wattage, these cards are still quite efficient for their performance. There's nothing to complain about for the GTX 760 DirectCU IIs power consumption or cooling ability.
Performance Results
Performance measurements come courtesy our new and improved GPU Testing Procedures. Long story short: the benchmarks are run at their default performance settings and games are run with every available setting cranked to the max at 1080p.
Synthetic Benchmarks
Since this was benched before we officially dropped 3DMark03 from our testing, it will be included one last time. Now I'm all nostalgic! Anyway, this bench is very long in the tooth and doesn't do a whole lot for real-world comparisons nowadays. Looks like both the MSI and EVGA cards come out ahead in 03 at stock, which you'll see throughout, as they both have higher rated base & boost clocks. Overclocked, the GTX 760 DCU II pulls ahead as it should.
To save you some reading, I'll sum up the rest of the benchmarks right here. With the MSI and ASUS GTX 760s clocked similarly, you'll see them benchmarking near one another, with the MSI's higher stock clocks coming ahead by a little bit. The EVGA card's very strong stock boost clock shows it is the most powerful of the three. The GTX 760 DCU II overclocked well though and came out near where you can expect most GTX 760s to end up.
Game Testing
Game tests are even closer than benchmarks, with the ASUS and MSI GTX 760s very close to one another. The EVGA offering is a stronger card and does separate itself a bit more on occasion. The ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II OC overclocked well though and saw the ~10+ FPS gains we saw with the EVGA offering. The stock-to-overclocked gains on these cards are impressive. Even on the most demanding Metro 2033 and Crysis 3 it gained six and three FPS, respectively.
For gaming, the GTX 760 DirectCU II OC is a great card for the money.
Pushing the Limits
For this section, I pushed the 4770K to 4.9-5.0 GHz (depending on the bench) and then turned the screws on the GPU as far as they would go. Some (Vantage, Heaven) didn't go any farther than the 24/7 overclock. 3DMark 11 and 3DMark Fire Strike were both able to push an extra 15 MHz out of the GPU.
Final Thoughts & Conclusion
The ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II OC is a solid offering from ASUS. It's priced right where it should be, coming in at $259.99. For that price, you get a solid cooler and something some other GTX 760s don't give you – the ability to fit in smaller form factors than some other GTX 760s.
While the ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II OC may not overclock quite as far as the EVGA GTX 760 SC, it's difficult to fault the card for that. GPUs are just like CPUs with their overclocking capabilities and every one will be different.
Where this card will really shine is in SFF / HTPC systems. It's at the perfect price point for people that need a smaller card with a solid amount of power. Its size (smaller than an ATX motherboard) is great as well, and can get even smaller if you decide to water cool it. If you want to game at 1080p on, say, your 50″ living room HDTV, this is a good choice for you.
Mainstream gamers also appreciate the abilities of the GTX 760s out there and this is another good offering for the frugal gamers out there.
With good cooling, solid clocks and at a size anybody can appreciate, the ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II is easily Overclockers Approved.

- Think the cheapest 7950 in my country is ~350$, about 50$ more and a 7970 could be gotten, so its not a good price/performance (about mid range). Made a chart so the stuff can be seen the easy way.
Raw price (low to high) (taking into account it can be hard to make such a spec "ultimate" because vendors got big influence, so i tried to find the best prices i can find):
Note: This is my countrys best price, not Newegg. Newegg for example is 300 $ for 7950, making it a very good budget card in theory (still weaker than 760), however, most of the other cards are more or less in the correct chart order.
660 TI (no OC): <230 $
760: <260 $
7870: <270 $
660TI (factory OC): <270 $
7950: <350 $
670: <370 $ (price recently dropped a lot but still way to less, because other cards dropped even more. Probably because 670 GTX is very popular so the price is "pushed")
7970 (GHz): <400 $
680: <430 $
770 <450 $
Raw Performance (low to high) (taking into account that all may have around same OC potential, using newest drivers of course):
660 Ti = 7870 (comparable)
760 +15%
670 = 7950 (comparable) +10%
680 +10%
7970 (GHz) +5%
770 +5%
Of course in term a "weaker" card is a good OCer, nowadays its no problem to reach the performance of the next higher card, because the performance steps are to minor and most of them OCs pretty well. So, luck of the draw can achieve "comparable" performance for lesser price but thats a lottery and not a "given performance". The flagships are no true flagships anymore, so the decision for getting cutting edge may be hard and price/performance is currently a high focus for most people.
Finally the price/performance chart:
1. 760
2. 660 Ti
3. 7870
4. 7950
5. 7970 (GHz) = 670 (comparable)
6. 770
7. 680 (sad to see but apparently true)
Note: In term the 7970 is same price/performance such as a 670 GTX but stronger at raw performance, then the 7970 is at advantage. People mainly chose a 670 GTX because apparently lesser "microstudder", a matter im trying to investigate (true or not, problematic or not). Considering the "Skyrim issue" im unable to find a solid proof that the Radeon could be inferior. The frame time variance would be able to show the microstudder value and the 7970 was very good at that spec. It could probably become a issue when Crossfired but for single GPU users there should not be a difference (making the 7970 the better choice).
As the final note: Nvidia in the past was almost never good at price/performance, it was usualy a consumer market AMD is maintaining. Nowadays, Nvidia is in overall at least head to head with AMD considering that spec, which is kinda a surprise and a good proof that Nvidia is now trying to attack AMD way harder than they ever did. So we somewhat have a harsh battle. Nvidia is still trying to continue with theyr "old mentality" but just for the "super high end series", GTX 780 + Titan.Sure. price/performance is what most people look for,not everyone will upgrade the graphic card every generation, the 760 is the best budget card along with 7950 at least for 1080p resolution and for a new build, but for upgrades i think the line may come at 560ti to 580,anything below may need an urgent upgrade. or have to go for SLI if the card is still visible on the charts:) with a low priced older card the yearly upgrade may come possible for allot of people like myself and night gamersThe stuff making me amazed the most is the great price/performance ratio of the 760, it even beats all the 600 series cards as far as i can see. So Nvidia attacking theyr own series? OK why not... old is finally old but in usual the new series was way more pricy than the old series. Nowadays the battle with AMD is that hard that Nvidia apparently is changing theyr usual mentality and is even creating some great "price/performance" cards. The GTX 760 is rendering all the 600 series cards at mid range (660/670) close to useless, because its simply the better price at comparable peformance. Means Nvidia probably stopped production of 600 series or is not having lot of chips left, else it would not make much sense attacking them.
260 $ isnt much for a card of those specs (when OC it can challenge a 7950/ GTX 670), but still not truly worth it when already owning a 7870 (to less performance difference, prehaps 10-15%). But it surely is awesome deal in term someone got a card with more than 20% weaker performance and may need the performance gain. In my country the price for a 7870 equipped with DCII cooler is about same such as this GTX 760 card (reviewed one), so it even beats the 7870 at price/performance. Just to bad i already got a 7870 and not truly worth it to upgrade (i enjoy a proven card and usualy only switch when i see more than 20% gain).
Would love to see more cards to compare with and not just a bunch, but its sufficient to see a good estimation where it stands (OC, non OC)
Finally, the 660 Ti OC is about 270+$ in my country, about same price. The GTX 760 at OC clearly beats the 660 Ti OC and thus the price/performance isnt any worse and the 660 Ti OC simply the inferior choice (considering its older achitecture). A non OC 660 Ti is about 30 $ lesser but still inferior price/performance ratio than a 760 OC. The GTX 670 itself is totaly demolished when it comes to price/performance.
Some people do not consider "price/performance" a important value, in that term no need to look at a GTX 760, just buy a Titan or GTX 780... powerful stuff is always overpriced but at least "powerful" for a few months (no one knows how fast a even faster card is released, thinking about AMDs 8000/9000 series). In my view its not always worth it going for "max performance" because that kind of spec is sometimes demolished faster than i enjoy, but its usualy always worth it going for price/performance (taking the 20% upgrade into account).IMO nothing beats rear-exhaust cards for SLI/CFX, everything else recirculates hot air right back into the fans if there isn't a ton of case airflow.
Asus does a pretty good job on coolers though usually.It's a 2-slot card. Airflow won't be any worse than any two slot card abutting another two slot card. The cooler isn't any thicker (and is just slightly thinner) than the PCIe bracket.
Most motherboards leave a slot between SLI/CFX slots so there will be plenty of room for airflow.I've looked at this card and seen the profile...i know the cooler doesn't jut out above the card...but the images just keep telling me that 2 of these in SLI could obstruct airflow worse than most with that hideous, bulky fan.No real surprise there, 660ti oc'd is in par with our better than a 670/760 at stock.
They, of course can be oc'd too though.Coming up from a gigabyte 660ti on a 1080p monitor,, which is a gk104 and i have it overclocked to 1228mhz stable with 6500 on the vram,i cannot see the improvement with the gtx 760,the only big difference is the 780, that it may worth the upgrade,thanks for the nice review guys.

Considering Counseling
Have you been feeling depressed, anxious, or just "out-of-control?" If so, you are not alone.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, in the US, there were around 47 million visits to doctors for mental problems in 2005. And just like many physical ailments, these types of disorders are usually highly treatable through therapy.
Whether you are coping with a life transition, depression , loss, general anxiety, or more serious conditions, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, chances are good that therapy can help.
What Kind of Therapy Should You Seek?
There are two primary types of therapy: medication and talk.
Medication Therapy
Medications are used for certain psychological conditions caused by a biochemical imbalance, such as depression and bipolar disorder. Medication can only be prescribed by a doctor or psychiatrist, and it is generally used along with talk therapy, so that psychological issues and biochemical problems may be treated at the same time.
Talk Therapies
Talk therapies, also known as counseling or psychotherapy, treat psychological or emotional problems through verbal communication. Although they are based on psychological theories, talk therapies also fulfill a very basic human need to share problems and connect with others.
"As society becomes more mobile, people seek counseling for issues that they might have confided to a neighbor, friend, or family member three generations ago," notes Mary Guindon, PhD, at Johns Hopkins University Counseling and Human Services Department. "Counseling is help for the everyday problems of living. It doesn't make the problem less painful, but it does help normalize it, so that clients are no longer coping in a vacuum."
Some types of counseling may be better suited to your particular issues, as well as your personality, time, and budget. Listed below are some of the most common types; however, keep in mind that most therapists tend to use a combination of one or more approaches.
- Description: developed by Sigmund Freud in the 1900s, focuses on identifying repressed feelings and issues that influence current behavior. The process is complex and lengthy, and it is less widely used today.
- Recommended for: problems stemming from childhood conflict
- Duration: 3-6 years
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
- Description: focuses on examining and changing unhealthy thought processes that shape behavior patterns
- Recommended for: depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, substance abuse
- Duration: average 15-25 sessions
Psychodynamic Therapy
- Description: identifies and interprets unconscious feelings to bring about behavioral change. The effectiveness of this therapy is an area that needs to be studied more. Medication is usually part of this treatment.
- Recommended for: people with certain personality disorders or chronic mental disorders
- Duration: may be as short as 25 sessions, or as long as several years
Couples, Marital, and Family Therapy
- Description: focuses on the interactions of a unit or system rather than individual members. This approach is based on the idea that the problems of an individual must be understood in the context of a larger system.
- Recommended for: couples, families, children, or teens with emotional disorders or serious diseases, or experiencing traumatic events
- Duration: weeks to months
Group Therapy
- Description: one of the most widely used forms of psychotherapy, works toward self-understanding, self-acceptance, and modification of the problem behavior
- Recommended for: adolescents and people who share similar diseases or disorders, such as substance abuse, compulsive gambling, and eating disorders.
- Duration: may be brief or long-term
What Kind of Training Is Involved?
Be aware of your therapist's licensing and credentials. The following is a brief summary of training:
- Psychiatrists—medical doctors, the only type of therapist who can prescribe medication
- Psychoanalysts—have completed training at an analytic institute, although institutes may vary
- Psychologists (PhD, PsyD)—have about five years of graduate training in psychology and usually an undergraduate degree in psychology
- Licensed social workers (LICSW)—have a Master's degree and two years of postgraduate training
Where Do You Get Help?
Most of the time, you will choose a therapist affiliated with your health plan. You may also check with your doctor, other community mental health agencies, local colleges or universities, hospitals, and government social service agencies for referrals.
What Should You Ask Your New Therapist?
As a therapy client, there are standard practices and procedures that you should expect. According to the American Counseling Association (ACA), your therapist should be able to inform you of:
- Their credentials and qualifications, as well as areas of expertise
- The purposes, goals, techniques, procedures, limitations, and potential risks and benefits associated with therapy
- Matters of confidentiality, privacy, and disclosure of information
- Financial arrangements prior to beginning the counseling relationship
How Do You Know When You're Finished?
For some, the answer is clear: when insurance stops paying for the sessions. But for those who are able to continue therapy to its natural conclusion, the termination of therapy is an important step. Some people are tempted to end therapy prematurely because they are reluctant to tackle difficult issues, or are fearful of becoming dependent.
In general, "individuals who are ready to end therapy usually feel that they have made progress. They feel more confident, hopeful, accepting, and aware of their emotions and needs. It may be easier for them to get along with others and to recognize and avoid pitfalls and self-defeating behavior," say Dianne Hales and Robert E. Hales in their book, Caring for the Mind.
Ultimately, though, the progress and termination of therapy will be your decision.

This exciting role on expedition involves organising and coordinating an environmental, community, and/or adventure project, whilst facilitating the personal development of the young people (aged 17 - 24) in the group. Working alongside one or two other Project Managers, you will take responsibility for ensuring the project's success in a remote and challenging environment.
This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of a sustainable and worthwhile project, to inspire young people from a wide range of backgrounds and to make a real difference to the local people and environments of the host country.
Community projects range from building eco-sanitation toilets in India, gravity water feed systems in Nicaragua and kindergartens in Borneo. Environmental projects offer volunteers the opportunity to live in remote, beautiful locations whilst working to conserve the endangered ecosystems and animals such as sun bears in Borneo, sea turtles in Costa Rica or elephants in India.
Summary of Responsibilities:
- Carrying out a planning visit following a briefing from the Country Director or Country Programme Manager
- Coordinating volunteers and project partners to achieve project goals previously established by Raleigh and project partners
- One to one support and coaching for young people and encouragement of personal development activities
- Facilitating group development
- Liaising with the logistics team regarding food and equipment requirements for the project
- Prepare emergency casualty evacuation plans and risk assessments
Essential Skills:
- Interest in working with and inspiring young people in remote, challenging environments
- Effective personal leadership skills and ability to develop other's leadership skills
- Ability to manage demanding situations
- Excellent interpersonal skills
- Ability to listen, empathise and work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds
- Open to personal development concepts and willing to engage in own development
Our project managers have various different professional backgrounds, creating a diverse and dynamic team on expedition. We are looking for passionate and inspiring project managers. We provide two weeks intensive training at the beginning of the expedition. If you don't know how to set up a jungle camp or build eco-sanitation units, no worries, we'll teach you!
Expeditions are 8 or 13 weeks in length, and run throughout the year. Volunteers are required to fundraise for Raleigh International in order to join an expedition.

Hundreds of Fremont residents will soon get an unwelcome letter from the city.
The message? Fix your sidewalk.
The Fremont Tribune reports about 300 residents will be sent the letters and told they have 60 days to repair their sidewalks.
City Planner Rian Harkins says city staff completed a sidewalk survey showing the sidewalks that need work.
Harkins says the 60-day deadline is longer than the city requires for most nuisance issues and zoning code violations.
Staffers will refer residents who can't afford the work to local agencies that can help.
Harkins notes that often only sections of sidewalks need repairs. Other times, neighbors might be able to share a contractor to save time and money.

The VBCF, founded in 1991, is a nonprofit organization "committed to the eradication of breast cancer through education and advocacy." For more information, visit their website at www.vbcf.org, or call 800-345-VBCF.

Betty Crocker Living with Cancer Cookbook by Betty Crocker
Over 130 recipes designed specifically for the cancer patient. Also includes "uplifting quotes, anecdotes, and practical tips from cancer survivors." (catalog summary)
Breast Cancer: What You Need to Know--Now
A concise but comprehensive guide from the American Cancer Society.
Copyright 2008
Copyright 2009
"What do I do now? Why am I still so tired? Am I really cured? How do I reduce my risk of recurrence? Is it safe for me to get pregnant? How do I get rid of the hot flashes so I can sleep?
"This fully revised and updated second edition contains crucial information about these issues and more--including the revolutionary medical advances in follow-up testing, ongoing treatments, and recovery. With answers for everything from how to deal with hair loss and weight gain to finding online support groups and understanding healthy foods and supplements, Living Well Beyond Breast Cancer contains a greater depth and breadth of information in its enhanced chapters--plus all-new chapters that cover current treatment options and preventative tips for those at high risk for developing breast cancer."

"Designed with master trainers Josie Gardner and Joy Prouty, The Breast Cancer Survivor's Fitness Plan features effective, inspiring workouts tailored for each type of surgery and adapted for differing fitness levels."
Also available as an eBook.
Shockney (breast cancer and nursing, Johns Hopkins U.) provides information to breast cancer patients and their families about each step of treatment so they can make informed decisions about their care. She goes over the decision-making process, the features of a breast center, initial consultations, communicating the diagnosis to others, surgery and sexual intimacy, therapy after surgery, changes in daily routines, targeted therapy, metastatic disease, financial issues, and living a healthier lifestyle as a survivor. Online and organizational resources are given, but there is no bibliography.

Macaron frenzy the last few weeks! Here are some pictures to illustrate that…
I'm actually sort of embarrassed to post this picture…my nails were horrible. My apology that you have to see that. I thought that the macaron would be cute enough to block away everything else in the picture.
That day, it was so hot that it wasn't the greatest condition to eat macarons because they were melting! So this picture was quickly snapped and soon enough, all the cute macarons, that did not make it to the photograph, were devoured happily!
I could gladly confirm that La maison du macaron has the safest choice of flavors! Any macaron you pick, you'll end up loving them 95% of the times, whereas in Point G, it's 50%.
However, La maison du macaron's little cute cookies are much more moist in the interior, creating a less crunchy effect once you bite it. Point G's are in the opposite, which I think it's a great way to differentiate itself so everyone can be satisfied! You no likey too soft macaron, go to Point G. You no likey too crunchy macaron, go to La maison du macaron. Everybody goes home happy!
At one of my visit, I decided to buy the other pastries, which are basically macarons but BIGGER.
In the background, you can see an another macaron, which was totally destroyed while travelling back to home…It was very sour due to the raspberries. I think they did not refine their almond meal enough as the shell looked very grainy, although the grainy appearance did not really affect the texture when I ate it. I like to believe the grainy effect is because they put real raspberry when baking the shell, which is something totally hard to do, because it affects the humidity of the macaron, which is crucial for perfect texture. But that is only what I like to believe…because I couldn't actually taste the bits of the raspberry in the shell.
And in the front, we have the Elixir. Super pretty to look at, but not very good to eat. It was a bit too sweet for our taste. And that pretty meringue all around the macaron didn't do it for me…
If I can remake my choice again, I would definitely go for the normal macarons!
Same concept as Elixir but different flavor. This one is even sweeter than Elixir.
Normal macarons please! I just like the shell too much. The filling in the bigger ones are taking too much space, defeating the purpose of simple macarons, where it's supposed to be light and sweet!

Facebook suggests you get out more - and it'll tell you how
In another move by Facebook to predict user behaviour, the human herding site has introduced Suggested Events: a feature that will offer bright ideas for what you should do on Friday night. Zuckerberg knows how your little mind works. Suggested Events will replace Friends' Events in the lefthand column of the Facebook home page …
freaky Facebook?
"Critics see it as one more freaky Facebook mind game that reveals just how much the site knows about you and your life."
Most Facebook users will just ignore it like the bulk of the 'extras' that appear and disappear.
Move your person to municipal cell block D for a party tonight.
Recommendations influenced by Advertisers?
will their suggestions lead you to places that their Advertisers, sorry sponsors want?
If I went last year to Greenland* and the year before to Kergulen* and it suggested Miami or some 'All Inclusive' resort somewhere I would not be very happy.
Curmudgeon? Me? Yep.
* I did go to both of these places with the past 5 years.
Re: Influenced by Advertisers?
You have to ask? Why yes, of course. They're turning your "lookit, I wus here!"-posts into excuses to have advertisers pay them for "targeted" (and thus more valuable) advertising. Which it of course spins as a service to you, though in reality you are the product.
Like the tagging of photographs; that gets them more info about who you mingle with. This is useful for things like, oh, pitch certain things it thinks you might like, around your birthday. Not pitched to you, but to your present-buying buddies.
Maybe they'll stretch up that picture recognition thing to discern brands and from there "give competitors an unique opportunity" to have a go at it. For a price, of course. Again, you are the product sold to their advertisers. Facebook is busily out-googling google in the up close and personal advertising market, in fact.
One interesting thing our gumshoe vultures at el reg could try and ferret out is just how much, if any, the big advertisers and "social" shops are in bed with each other. For exactly this sort of mined data.
Based on Check ins
oh great...so my suggestions will be:
Work, work, airport, work, some bus-stop in the arse-end of nowhere, work, Tesco's, home, work, work.
Facebook will have a hard time fitting suitable ads into that social calendar, I'm sure.
you check-in at all those places?
so someone only needs to watch your facebook page to know when the best time is to pop round your house and steal your telly?
suggested event
I wonder how responsible social networking is for a mob of morons meeting up at a shoe shop resulting in chaos and death.
Social networking is not responsible for any crime - it merely speeds up the communication between the criminals. In the old days they'd have sent a runner round to gather them together.
Need to treat the real causes, not the comms.
I bet it won't know about my swinging weekends much less advertise them :)
but how frightening will it be if it does??
And if they mash in some photo recognition stuff and automatically post the pics of you there
So glad I don't have a Farcebook account!
I am sure glad I dropped even my pseudonymous account. Who needs this crap, anyway? Just one more bit of evidence the megacorps think they own us outright from birth (Disney baby clothes) to death (Men's Warehouse Suits)
Human herding site! Brilliant!
This surely deserves standing ovations.
Re: Human herding site! Brilliant!
Shorely shome mishtake; 'flocking', as in Baaaaaaah, baaaaaaah, baaaaaaaah.
This is going to be fun...
I already play with the ad recommendations through careful clicking and status updates. Now I can really have fun! (Sadly it also means that in future reference checking I will be unemployable)

Conectiv Version 6.1.5
Release Date: June 1, 2012
Applies To:
Operating Systems Supported:
Windows 7 SP1 (32-Bit & 64-Bit)
Release Notes:
Enabled ProTools private ASIO future calls in the public ASIO driver. This will enable future versions of Pro Tools to use the public ASIO driver, and will allow Avid to eventually eliminate the private, PACE-wrapped ASIO driver. This change should have no effect on current Pro Tools products or other ASIO hosts.
Add new graphics for radio buttons and buffer size controls.
Updates to improve stability/reliability of streaming driver.
Fix Panel issue where text could be truncated under high-DPI display settings on Windows.
Unplugging the Conectiv while streaming causes blue screen.
Updated Streaming service name and DFU service name to match old driver package (6.0.X) which fixes install failures on systems that have had the old driver installed.
Changed Installer Upgrade Code to fix install conflict with Transit. Conectiv and Transit shared the same Installer Upgrade Code in both 6.0.X and older 6.1.X driver package installers and could not be co-installed on the same machine. Conectiv 6.1.2 and Transit 6.0.X can be installed on the same machine.
First release with Positive Streamer driver.
Provides multi-client support for both WDM and ASIO.
First release of Conectiv that utilizes the newer driver properties architecture.
Sleep mode is now fully supported.
Updates to the way in which latencies are reported to hosts.
Disabled the sample rate controls when streaming.
Fixed the hardware ID that is reported to Pro Tools

David Borris, owner of Hel's Kitchen Catering in Northbrook, Ill., stands in his company's kitchen. Borris said the health law doesn't affect his hiring. He employs 25 full-timers and up to 80 others during the busy holiday party season. He has offered insurance for full-time workers since 1990 and believes the law has stabilized what he pays for insurance premiums. Borris, whose suburban Chicago company is too small to fall under the law's mandate, argues that health benefits attract good workers.
