Electromyography (EMG) evaluates the neurophysiological function of the peripheral motor and sensory nervous system and skeletal muscles. In other words, the EMG test determines if weakness in the muscles is caused by dysfunction of the muscles or the nerves controlling muscles and is one of most useful laboratory tests when evaluating patients who have neuromuscular diseases. The needle electrode EMG can determine if the disease is originating in the nerve or muscle, the distribution and the duration of the disease. Nerve Conduction Velocity studies (NCV) are able to evaluate the functional integrity of motor and sensory nerves. This test is done at the same time as the EMG and can determine if the disease is primarily in the nerve fibers themselves or the myelin sheath (coating on the nerve) causing slowed electrical conduction.
The EMG Laboratory at Columbia Presbyterian is directed by Louis H. Weimer, MD.

I recently noticed ads for Progressive Insurance popping up after my games of Sudoku. Now this came as a shock to me, as I usually get creepy dating ads that make me question the possible revenue these apps could be making on clicks. This ad proves that the future of mobile ads is looking bright- and that interaction is everything.
I really liked the approach because they're asking gamers to play a game as incentive to download their app and it doesn't outright ask them to do so. Instead, it has the gamer throw the app at ninja's who sneak through the Progressive store.
The only reason you'd need this app is if you use Progressive, but the game both encourages its customers to try out the app and promotes brand awareness. It's fun, creative, interactive and it keeps Progressive on your mind.

Cautious rejoicing replaces Rooney Anxiety, with injury almost good news - Times Online
The future of the world depends on his recovery....
I have a vague knowledge of who this Rooney is, Liverpudlian round ball chaser, I have no idea where or what he was playing in or why it is important.
Does that make me ignorant?
Interestingly of all the blogs I read I can't think of a single heterosexual blogger who seems to be interested either, so I think I'm probably in good company.

Give us a good patchwork pattern and we are always in. That is certainly the case with these new Converse Jack Purcell's, which feature an all over patchwork and leather lining. The mix of classic tartan patterns on the upper works well and the leather lining allows you to wear these without socks as well. The shoe is also perfect for early fall. Overall coming in limited amounts, the sneaker has just arrived at Blackrainbow in Paris.

8 Wintry Words to Defrost Your Vocabulary
town, historic and present county of Pembrokeshire (Sir Benfro), Wales, comprising the localities of Pembroke and Pembroke Dock on the south shore of the Milford Haven inlet. The older locality, Pembroke, incorporated in 1090 by royal charter, was a walled town built along a narrow limestone ridge, at the west end of which the castle, dominating the Haven, was the seat of the earls of Pembroke in the 12th and 13th centuries. St. Mary's Church was founded in 1260. Nearby are the ruins of a Benedictine priory established in 1098; its church was fully restored in 1882. Pembroke is now mainly a small market town and tourist centre. Pembroke Dock grew up around a 19th-century naval dockyard that closed in the early 20th century. It has since developed as a centre for manufacturing and commercial activities. Pop. (2001) 7,214.

Using somthing like Operating system market share is better than counting how many copies have been sold. We have a few devices with Windows 8 OEM stickers on the bottom but they are not running it.
I think the problem with the Metro interface is that Microsoft was making no traction with the Metro interface on the Windows Phone 7/8, but they have a desktop PC monopoly. So they asked - how do we leverage our desktop PC monopoly to force users into the mobile phone and tablet market on our products? The came up with the idea of forcing Windows PC users to use the Metro interface so they become familiar with it, and would then want to buy mobile phones and tablets with the UI on it. Metro is a Frankenstein interface which doesn't work well on a tablet or a laptop or PC.
@SPM - you don't like it , there are plenty of us who do on a phone, I'd take it over android or iOS any day.
2-3% of you all ;)
Still, I'm no stranger to being different.
Unfortunately, and I think this is one thing that can be legitimately laid at the door of Apple, this kind of consumer tech is nothing short of a fashion parade these days. Pick your brand and defend it/attack others as necessary.
Indeed, it has been diluted to which goes best with which handbag levels of assessment now.
I don't hate the iOS or the iPhone / iPAD
What I hate is the way Apple choose to market it at such over inflated prices and how people with an iPhone/iPad feel the need to inform every other person about how they own one and have the attitude that all over devices are inferior and everyone else should have one
(Hmm putting it like that kinda makes Apple sound like the Borg - Scary!)
BTW, not all Apple users are like this, and Blackberry users are on a par with the above statement!

The Alien From the Alien Movies Is Gone Forever, Says Ridley Scott
R.I.P. Xenomorph.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
R.I.P. Xenomorph.
We've been through this.
For all the work he did, it's the main creature from Alien for which he is best known today.
It's E.T., just more like Alien.
"I was such a snob, so I didn't really want to do science fiction."
Logan Marshall-Green's poor face.
We'd see it.
To kick off a new feature called "Vulture Scavenger," we waded through all four films, their commentary tracks, and the books and articles that have been written about the series.
It's a Ridley Scott weekend!
Film will have some of 'Alien''s DNA.
It's called 'Paradise.'
Her character died in Avatar, but she's coming back for the sequel.
Our spies have been able to glean several interesting nuggets about the project, which is set roughly 35 years before Ridley Scott's dystopic classic.
Or maybe not!
Rosemary's Baby, Zombie Baby, and Alien Baby included.
Directing isn't a growth industry anymore. 3D, however, is.
There will be aliens, but they might look different.
Anthea! LV-426! Spengo!
Plus: Jerry Bruckheimer gets his own 'Transformers.'
Plus: Henry Rollins has some out-of-the-box thoughts on how to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

|i posted this to the plumbing forum also, i'm sorry for the duplicate posting, but i need help!
it figures these things always happen in the middle of the night and when my husband isn't home!!!! i was walking my dog out in the backyard this evening and heard a splish splashing noise coming from my crawlspace. i went under there and was able to see water pouring through my insulation underneath my house. the water coming out is warm water. the water is coming out from underneath the area of the house that has my hot water heater and spare bathroom. the hot water heater does not appear to be leaking, i do not have any water on the inside of my house, only underneath. i am assuming that i have a water pipe that has burst, but i am confused about something and please forgive my ignorance. i shut off the main water valve to the house, and the water has stopped pouring out of the insulation. since the water coming out is warm, then obviously the leak is after the water enters the hot water heater, probably in between the hot water heater and the spare bathroom. why would shutting off the main water supply stop the warm water leak, almost instantly? would it be because the water is no longer under pressure? since i no longer have any water flowing to my house at all, can i just shut off the hot water and still have cold water and hopefully no leak?(kids need to go potty in morning!) i'm feeling like an idiot here and sure need some guidance!

This is a quick and easy recipe for Truffled Mashed Potatoes and can be made using black or white truffles, truffle butter or in the case of this simple recipe, truffle oil. If you have access to French black truffles or Italian white Alba truffles, which are rare and expensive, there is of course no comparison.
However, when you don't have real truffles, truffle oil is a reasonably priced substitute and can usually be found in a gourmet grocery store near the olive and nut oils. Truffle oil varies in quality with many brands using chemicals to achieve similar flavors; some versions don't even contain truffles.
Due to this fact, it is important to do some research if you have the time and are concerned about the chemicals. Read the ingredients.
Some recipes for truffled potatoes add ingredients such as garlic and Parmesan cheese. If you have a bit of ingenuity and a spark of creative spirit, embellish to your personal taste. Keep in mind though that there is a very distinctive and the delicate flavor to the truffle and that can be masked when other ingredients are used.
So when the occasion calls for a more sophisticated mash, and you don't have $100 worth of truffles in the fridge, here is your answer.
Truffled Mashed Potatoes (the cheap and easy way)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Serves 6-8
4 lbs. (6 large) Yukon Gold or Russet Potatoes (Russet is preferred) peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
1/4 lb. (1/2 cup) Unsalted European Style Butter such as Plugra (room temperature)
2 tbs white truffle oil (use 1 TSP chopped black or white truffles instead if you have them)
1 1/2 cups half and half
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper (preferably white)
1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped (optional)
Add potatoes to a large saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and allow to simmer for approximately 20 minutes. Drain potatoes completely and return to saucepan.
Add about 1 cup of the half and half, butter and truffle oil. Using a potato masher or ricer, mash until there are no lumps. Continue to mash until potatoes are fluffy adding half and half until the consistency is just right. Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with parsley if desired. Serve right away or keep covered in a warm oven until service.
To give credit where due, Chef and owner, David Thomas from Off The Farm Foods originally found this recipe in Bon Appetite magazine several years ago. Then he customized it to make it his own. Check out Off The Farm for their amazingly fresh and nutritious energy bars.

Positive Living organisations in Malaysia express concern at the potential for Free Trade Agreements to impact on accessibility of HIV medications
04 May 2011
March 2011
Accessibility to treatment for People Living with HIV (PLHIV) is a huge determinant for their livelihoods. Easy access to adequate medical treatment, including access to treatment information, vastly improves PLHIV quality of life. It enables PLHIV to lead healthy and empowered lives, subsequently invalidating the fear, confusion, stigma and discrimination they are often subjected to.
Currently, Malaysia is negotiating with the United States of America as part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement and is also beginning negotiations with the European Commission (EC) for a bilateral free trade agreement (FTA). These free trade negotiations bring access to anti-retroviral medication under direct threat, and thus the livelihoods of Malaysians living with HIV have also become threatened. Concern is centred on potential FTA provisions that would limit access to life-saving medicines for PLHIV in Malaysia, such as data exclusivity, extending patent life span, 'evergreening' the patent, limitation of conditions for compulsory licensing and making the drug regulatory authority play the role of 'patent police'.
FTAs have been known to include stringent versions of these provisions, resulting in governments adopting Intellectual Property Rights obligations that exceed the general requirements of the World Trade Organization.[1] Restrictive provisions decrease the availability of generic HIV medications, exponentially increase the cost of medication and thus significantly impact limit access to medication for People Living with HIV.
Ultimately, the FTAs are threatening Malaysian's right to health, a right enshrined in numerous international and regional human rights treaties. According to the Report of the Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health
"…medical care in the event of sickness, as well as the prevention, treatment and control of diseases, are central features of the right to health. These features depend upon access to medicines. Therefore, access to medicines forms an indispensible part of the right to health."[2]
Thus, states have an obligation under international law to protect the right to health to ensure that medicines are available, affordable and accessible.
Regardless of FTAs, cost of health care for HIV positive Malaysians is already increasing. The World Health Organization (WHO) now recommends starting HIV treatment when patients have a CD4 count of 350 rather than 250, meaning more patients in Malaysia will be requiring treatment earlier, thus increasing treatment costs by almost RM30m for the government. If an FTA is signed that further limits access to cost effective medication, expenses will only further rise.
Malaysia must protect the right to health and continue striving towards the target outlined in The National Strategy on HIV and AIDS 2011-2015 of ensuring 'provision and access to comprehensive services for at least 80% of People Living with HIV who are eligible for ARV treatment, care and support…'[3] This target is already made more difficult by the revised WHO recommendations but will only become increasingly unreachable if FTAs with strict Intellectual Property Rights provisions are signed.
It is imperative that Malaysia protects access to affordable HIV medication and the right to health care for People Living with HIV, which is directly under threat from the TPP and EC free trade negotiations. PT Foundation is calling for a commitment from the Malaysian Government to protect the rights of PLHIV and to ensure easy and affordable access to medication. PT Foundation will be monitoring the negotiations closely to ensure that HIV medicines and healthcare for PLHIV is protected.

The transcript is now available from yesterday's first #builtheritage chat about Adaptive Reuse. (side note: all the times are PST because apparently "what the hashtag" runs in that timezone. If anyone knows how to change these let me know!).
I was thrilled the conversation engaged 109 participants yesterday, and over 680 tweets. After the chat people kept talking and we had another dozen people add their voices, and over 40 more tweets to the conversation. We had participants from all over North America from Northern Ontario, to Miami. We even went international with someone from Brisbane joining us late in the chat.
Besides myself and my co-moderators at @presconf and @presnation our top tweeters where:
Thank you to each and every one of you that participated!
I hope that you will join us for next chat April 6th at 4pm.

Go to the market, and you'll see the end caps of your produce section exploding with berries of all sorts. This is a VERY good thing. Berries offer a wide variety of health benefits including being chock full of antioxidants.
A few berries to consider:
- Raspberries–one cup of raspberries contains 64 calories, is full of antioxidants, is an excellent source of manganese and vitamin C, and and is good source of vitamin E.
- Blueberries–also an excellent source of trace minerals as manganese and vitamin C, one cup of blueberries offers 3 grams of fiber. Blueberry leaf has been used for centuries as a method of controlling blood sugar levels and supporting pancreas health
- Strawberries–in addition to essential vitamins and minerals, strawberries have an unmistakable flavor and deliver antioxidants including fisetin which has been studied to help support brain health.
- Cranberries–these little powerhouses have traditionally been featured on many Thankgiving day tables. However, beyond being a great side dish, they are an excellent source of vitamin C and promote kidney health
To reap the benefits of a "bunch" of different berry types, try Botanic Choice's Super Berry Complex today which features blueberry, strawberry, cranberry, bilberry, elderberry and raspberry PLUS noni and pomegranate.

See also Vella Gulf (CVE 111)
|Vella Gulf (CG-72)'s coat of arms links the men who fought at the Battle of Vella Gulf (6–7 August 1943) with the sailors who sail Vella Gulf into the future. The commissioning pennant recalls escort aircraft carrier Vella Gulf (CVE 111), the previous ship of the name. The dark blue and gold of the shield are the colors traditionally associated with the Navy. The Battle of Vella Gulf occurred in a body of water in the Solomon Islands known as "the slot," which is the shield. The wavy division at top refers to the sea. The six sections comprising the shield recall the six U.S. destroyers that fought in the battle, while the red discs suggest the four Japanese destroyers. Dark blue alludes to the darkness of the nocturnal battle. Counterchanging the colors of the shield underscores the unity of U.S. Navy components, while the bald eagle symbolizes the U.S. victory and naval strength, past and present. In the crest, the trident represents prowess at sea and the modern weapons-- the vertical launch and the AEGIS systems-- of CG 72. The lightning flashes signify her quick strike capabilities and allude to the advantage that radar provided to the Americans at Vella Gulf. Red traditionally symbolizes courage and firepower. The star commemorates the battle star awarded to the previous Vella Gulf for her World War II service. The crossed swords embody the synergism of the officer-enlisted teams. Finally, the ship's motto is adopted from a favorite military maxim of Lt. Gen. Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, CSA, that reads: "To move swiftly, strike vigorously and secure all the fruits of victory, is the secret to successful warfare."
A naval engagement in the Solomons campaign of World War II, fought in Vella Gulf between the islands of Vella Lavella and Kolombangara, the battle joined shortly before midnight on the night of 6 August 1943. In the Battle of Vella Gulf, six U.S. destroyers—Dunlap (DD 384), Craven (DD 382), Maury (DD 401), Lang (DD 399), Sterett (DD 407), and Stack (DD 406)—under Comdr. Frederick Moosbrugger attacked four Japanese destroyers attempting to reinforce the garrison on Kolombangara. The American warships closed, undetected, and fired torpedoes that sank Hagikaze, Arashi, and Kawakaze; only Shigure escaped the onslaught. Some 200 Japanese soldiers died that night. Comdr. Moosbrugger's ships emerged from the action unscathed.
(CG 72: displacement 9,650; length 567'; beam 55'; draft 33'; speed 30 knots; complement 376; armament Standard SM-2, Tomahawk, Harpoon, ASROC, Mk 46 torpedoes, 5-inch, Close In Weapon System, two SH-60B LAMPS Mk III helicopters; class Ticonderoga)

text: Hi J-P, I'm using OSG 2.8.2 but not the latest SVN build (the sources available on the website). I'm compiling the example with VS 2008. Maybe the crash is driver related... We're using a nVidia GeForce GTX 280. In our application, the crash occurs sporadically (seems to be a threading issue) but in the OSG example, it occurs on every run at the same place. I'll try it on Win XP... We've been having some strange threading behaviour differences between WinXP et WinVista these past few weeks (some induces performance issues and others cause the application to crash at different places when handling viewports). Some more fun in perspective! At least, I'll try the texture pool solution in the latest SVN build to see if it helps. Thanks! Frederic Drolet, M. Sc.

Rethinking analogue marketing
Research revealing that teens are more irritated by online advertising than offline types suggests that it is time for marketers to reappraise analogue marketing, writes Nicola Kemp.
There is logic and then there is love. We are in the process of attempting to downsize, and in the battle of books vs shelf space, books are winning hands down. Logic dictates I should have a Kindle and not be so literally weighed down by books; but love dictates that I remain wedded to my paperbacks. Their beautifully designed covers and the sheer comfort afforded by their physical presence means I simply cannot give them up.
Support for my continued reliance on analogue media comes in the somewhat unlikely form of Facebook's Ben Barry, who heads the social network's Analog Research Lab. He recently told Fast Company: 'Obviously digital communications and the internet are far superior for most information delivery, but there are certain things when committed to physical form, it elevates their importance. It gives them this preciousness.'
This is a preciousness that is recognised even by digital-savvy teens, according to 'Born Free' - a new international study by Research Now. It found that teens from the US, Poland, Germany and the UK generally had more favourable attitudes toward traditional print or TV ads than online executions. About 30% of the teens surveyed liked to talk about non-digital ads with their friends.
Roughly half of US, British and Polish respondents recalled traditional ads, but less than a quarter said the same about online ones. Half of British teens were more annoyed by online ads. In light of the ever-increasing time that teens spend online, logic dictates they are exposed to more online advertising and, as a result, would naturally cite them as more annoying. Nonetheless, that doesn't mean we should not reconsider our approach to analogue communications.
The web has cannibalised traditional print communications, but the opportunity for brands to cut through to create something of high quality - and, most important, something so precious that consumers will want to keep it on the shelf - should not be overlooked.
What brands should know about rethinking analogue
The pursuit of preciousness
In the rush to embrace 'digital first', brands are at risk of dismissing traditional marketing platforms out of hand. While the immediacy of online and the conversational nature of social media present huge opportunities for brands, developing high-quality creative to stand out remains a powerful marketing tool.
Beware of the backlash
The 50% of British teenagers who find online advertising annoying are not alone. The fact remains that much online advertising, particularly in the context of social-media platforms, is both clumsy and blunt. Facebook feeds declaring friends are 'fans' of Heinz Baked Beanz, for example, are neither engaging nor clever.
Recognising change
Marketers must beware of an over-reliance on an 'audience of one'. Just as Blockbuster's 2002 press release declaring that online video rental would only ever be a niche market should send a shiver down the spine of any thinking marketer, failing to recognise that, regardless of your personal preferences, Kindles will revolutionise the publishing industry, is brand suicide.

Almost a month after Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast, one Rochester bar encouraged people to make donations to the Red Cross.
Bachelor Forum welcomed guests Friday Night to donate to the Red Cross Disaster Relief.
The bar kicked off the event by donating $500 to Sandy efforts. Participants had the chance to win prizes and gift cards and all profits from shots poured will go directly to the cause.
"I felt like something needed to be done to try to raise money locally in Rochester," said Luis Nunez. "We kind of skipped the brunt of it, so they got hit the hardest, so try not help out." To donate to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund... you can go to their website at http://www.redcross.org/charitable-donations.

The Afghan Taliban and Pakistan's 'Strategic Depth'
The concept of strategic depth originated out of Pakistan's troubled relationship with Afghanistan during the Cold War, when the Soviet Union and India used Afghan territory to operate against Pakistan. Strategic depth can best be understood as a defensive posture in which a country seeks to expand its presence across geographic boundaries. This expansion allows the country to prevent an adversary from using additional territory to launch attacks. The country can also disperse assets (especially nuclear weapons) into the expanded territory, increasing its ability to absorb an attack and strike back. General Mirza Aslam Beg, Pakistani army chief from 1988-1991, was credited with the authorship of strategic depth. In his view, it was a way of securing 'Islamic Depth' in the west and counterbalancing the conventionally superior 'Hindu India'. This could been done by strengthening diplomatic and military relations with Afghanistan and the Arab world so that in the worst-case scenario of India invading and overrunning Pakistan, the Army High Command could relocate west and use Afghanistan to roll back India. The concept of strategic depth has now developed through repeated crises and confrontations with India and is intimately connected to second-strike capability and nuclear doctrine. Because of the geographic size and overall economy of the contrasting countries, Pakistan fears that with a lack of strategic depth, India would be able to divide the country or threaten its territorial integrity.
A stable, friendly Afghanistan is an integral part of Pakistan's foreign policy. Islamabad also continues to want a friendly regime in Kabul to be part of strategic depth. After the Soviet withdrawal of Afghanistan in 1989, Pakistan supported the Pashtun militant faction, Hizb-e-Islami, led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. By 1994, the traditional leadership in Kandahar had been eliminated and a new movement emerged- the Taliban. From 1994 onwards, these mujahedeen were trained and funded by Pakistan as part of the plan envisioned by General Beg to ensure future Taliban support. The idea was to build an additional infantry force that would provide strategic depth, in terms of Afghan man power, in case the country was ever attacked.
The fall of the Taliban regime resulted in a major opportunity for India to gain footholds in Afghanistan. With the Taliban's defeat, India now enjoys unrivalled access to President Karzai and the Afghan government. India's new presence in Afghanistan is part of an overall strategy for projecting influence in Central Asia and denying Pakistan the strategic depth it badly wants. A sort of competition arose after the fall of the Taliban over Afghanistan's alignment. Pakistanis complained that Indian consulates in Afghanistan, especially the two located in Kandahar and Jalalabad, close to the Pakistan border, were launching pads for covert attacks on Pakistan. Indians charged that attacks on their Afghan consulates in cities where Pakistan also had consulates were supported by the ISI.
In addition to the Indian presence now felt in Afghanistan, government leaders left over from the Northern Alliance continue to have ties with India. In fact, many of them were either educated in, or residents of, India for some time. Pakistani leaders believe that these personalities need to be kept out of the Afghan government. Since Karzai, the relatively progressive intellectuals, and most of the Afghan Diaspora all oppose the Taliban, there is a belief in Islamabad that their most secure allies continue to be components of the Afghan Taliban, including the Jalaluddin Haqqani network. Although the Pakistani Taliban constitute a short-term threat, close historical ties with the mujahedeen and the importance of strategic depth means that the Afghan Taliban will remain untouched.

Guide To Publication Printers: What They Offer and What You Need
Choosing a printer should include factors that go beyond price.
Printer selection is one of the most important decisions for a magazine publisher. This is the vendor that handles what is the largest (or second-largest, after events) and most expensive product for most publishers, not to mention one that plays an increasing role in other publishing services, from database management to online content management systems.
For a look at select printer services and capabilities, click here: Survey 1 Survey 2
As manufacturing and production staffs decrease at publishers, the printer role becomes even more important. ŌĆ£I used to be a production director, and recently I was at a social gathering with other former production directors and weŌĆÖre all doing different things because weŌĆÖve chosen to leave or been asked to leave,ŌĆØ says Rob Brai, partner and COO at Superior Media Solutions. ŌĆ£Because no one is there anymore, CFOs and others have said, ŌĆśLet the printer handle it, we donŌĆÖt want to deal with the hassle.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Vendor Selection: Beyond Price
LetŌĆÖs face it, price is probably the number one factor when evaluating printers. ŌĆ£Like on a job interview, it is something never discussed, as if it does not matter, and then somehow you always wind up going to the vendor with the best price,ŌĆØ says one b-to-b manufacturing and production executive.
ŌĆ£The more volume that can be consolidated to one preferred printer, the better the process, and more opportunity to reduce cost,ŌĆØ says Phil Graham, senior vice president of operations at F+W Media. ŌĆ£The printer that currently handles our magazine and book printing is now producing all our subscription, promotional, and ancillary materials. Consolidating all that under one roof simplifies much of the logistics that you encounter when using multiple printers, and again you have the pricing benefit from the volume consolidation.ŌĆØ
That workflow efficiency is key to attractive pricing. ŌĆ£Due to the reduction in ad pages, cost control is very important, so competitive pricing is very important,ŌĆØ says Keith Hammerbeck, corporate director of media operations at Advanstar Communications. ŌĆ£But along with this is making sure that printers are ŌĆśefficientŌĆÖ. By this I mean do they have a short cut-off press to save paper, can they deliver large signatures to keep the cost per page down, have their paper spoilage percentages gone down over time, etc.ŌĆØ
Scheduling: Are Printers and Publishers On the Same Page?
Flexible scheduling is another critical area. ŌĆ£We are also looking for printers to be flexible with their schedules. If we need to hold an ad close open, the printer needs to work with us and still get us out in the number of days we expected,ŌĆØ says Hammerbeck.
ŌĆ£I usually want to know their schedule, are they open 24/7, closed on certain holidays?ŌĆØ says another manufacturing and production executive. ŌĆ£At the end of the year, things can get hairy. Printers often close down several days because they are ŌĆśnot busyŌĆÖ, but then we still have a lot of things going at the end of the year.ŌĆØ
Co-Mailing: Not Always a Given
While they may seem obvious, co-mailing and distribution services are not always provided. ŌĆ£Co-mail and other postage reducing services are very important,ŌĆØ says Hammerbeck. ŌĆ£Postage is now by far our largest mechanical expense, so offering postal savings is very important. This also applies to things such as tabloids, polybagged issues, etc. Not every printer can offer postal savings for these type of things.ŌĆØ
Different publishers have different rules. ŌĆ£We use a couple different printers and with one, they do not have any major fulfillment, it is always handled by an outside partner in another state,ŌĆØ says a b-to-b manufacturing executive who wishes to remain nameless. ŌĆ£We used another printer for something, and they couldnŌĆÖt send UPS out of the plant, just FedEx. When it comes to co-mail, we want to know what the discount is, what are the typical pool sizes and how many runs are done weekly?ŌĆØ
Training and Customer Service
Staff turnover at a printer can have a significant impact on relations. ŌĆ£I always ask about the customer service rep, their background and experience, their work volume and who their back-up is,ŌĆØ says a production executive at a major publisher. ŌĆ£I also want to know if the salesperson remains active on the account or do they walk away and leave someone else in charge?ŌĆØ
Printers offering training for magazine manufacturing and production staffs is becoming increasingly important, especially with new digital services. ŌĆ£We donŌĆÖt use our printer for most of these services because we have other suppliers we use, however we do want our printer to be proactive in regards to being able to offer training as needed, and work with us on making sure our instructions are being supplied properly,ŌĆØ says Hammerbeck.
ŌĆ£When I worked for a major consumer publisher, informative trips to the printer were regularly offered to production staff,ŌĆØ adds another production executive. ŌĆ£For all I know, major publishing firms still continue this practice and the printers still accommodate such sessions. On the other hand, most of the problems that IŌĆÖve seen surfacing within the last 10 years have been directly related to a LACK of printing knowledge and production savvy on the part of the publicationŌĆÖs staff.ŌĆØ

lazyweb: I'm a little hesitant to ask anything here, given that my last posting on limburger resulted in this gem: the key to limburger is that you need to eat it with mayonnaise and raw (or at least rare) halibut.
Nevertheless, I'm looking for a machine to purchase to put in the North American GNOME Event Box. It has to be small, light, and run Free software well. Something like the Shuttle X100 is close, but I'm not going to be able to get the Radeon card in it to work. Mac mini's are much better supported and a great size, but I would prefer something less 'branded'. Having Apple hardware in the booth would confuse our message.
Alternatively, if someone knows how to change the top plate on a Mac Mini to a custom logo, I could totally go that route. (-:

"Idea To Ponder" from Intimacy & Desire
The current (May 2012) edition of Psychology Today has an article featuring my work, describing how I deal with partners' unacknowledged anger, hostility, and hatred. I also published an article in Psychotherapy Networker magazine (Nov. 2011) about a couple in which a man tortured his wife with his own rapid ejaculation, twice a week for over 25 years. So I want to start off by telling you I'm actually a pretty nice guy. You can even ask my wife, daughter and parents. They are all honest, kind, decent people—arguably even more so than me—so they know the difference.
I didn't start focusing on partners' animosities out of a personal agenda, a sad childhood or a bad marriage. I don't have a jaundiced view of human nature. I developed a therapy that speaks to the best in people. But I'm not blind to the worst in them. I think trite dictums like "People always do the best they can at the time" trivializes goodness by taking it for granted, minimizing how hard it is to do the best you can, and blinding us to the ugliness of those who frequently don't.

Einhorn Moves Into Health-Care Stocks, Trims Tech
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- David Einhorn, who heads the hedge fund firm Greenlight Capital, is making a big bet on the health-insurance industry and trimming technology holdings.
Einhorn initiated new positions in Cigna (CI) and Coventry Health (CVH) during the second quarter, according to a securities filing released today. He also bought more of UnitedHealth (UNH), Humana (HUM), WellPoint (WLP), and Aetna (AET), adding between 1.6 million shares and 3.1 million shares of each to his portfolio.
The bet on insurers may be related to the recent upholding of the so-called ObamaCare legislation by the Supreme Court. Over the next few years, several tens of millions of Americans will gain health insurance, boosting revenue and, some argue, profits. Still, the presidential election could change all that.
Einhorn also added new positions in Virgin Media (VMED) and Hess (HES) during the second quarter. Big increases were made in Seagate (STX) and General Motors (GM), giving them the Nos. 2 and 3 spots in his portfolio, resprectively.Apple (AAPL) is still Einhorn's top position in the fund, but he trimmed his holdings in the tech giant by 9,000 shares. Major reductions were taken in Best Buy (BBY) and Compuware (CPWR). Best Buy's stock declined 11% in the quarter as the company lost market share to online competitor Amazon (AMZN). Einhorn exited before co-founder Richard Schulze offered to pay $24 to $26 per share for the company. Greenlight still owned about 1.2 million shares of both Best Buy and Compuware as of June 30. The total value of Einhorn's portfolio at the end of the quarter was $6.4 billion, which is up 15% from $5.5 billion at the end of March. Hedge funds that manage more than $100 million are required to disclose their equity holdings, options and convertible debt on a Form 13F filed to the Securities and Exchange Commission within 45 days of the end of a quarter. Funds aren't required to report short positions betting on declines. -- Written by Lindsey Bell in New York. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to Lindsey Bell.

I think most states study the state history in fourth grade. I'm not sure why, but that was the pattern in Oregon and even when I was a little girl in Colorado. There was another "Michigan" field trip for Zhen's class and I went along for the morning session... They call it a "Voyageur Encampment"....but they dont' seem to stick all that well to that theme. This Native American re-enactor really did a lovely job, though. I hung on his every word.

What a wonderful way to learn the history.
I don't remember when we had CT state history in elementary school as that was so long ago. US history was always one of my favorite subjects.

No recollection whatsoever of learning my state's history. We did reports on individual states in 6th grade, but that was a private school.
I am always amazed by how the History of Saint Petersburg is a separate subject here, not just a small unit. I wonder if that is true in the provinces?

About Manchester Jewish Museum
Manchester Jewish Museum is located in a former Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue on Cheetham Hill Road. It is the only Jewish Museum outside London and is housed in the oldest surviving synagogue building in Manchester, completed in 1874.
It is a beautiful example of Victorian architecture, executed in Moorish style. Particularly noteworthy are the splendid stained glass windows and the distinctive cast-iron fitments.
Since the building became redundant through the movement of the Jewish population away from the area, it has been completely restored, returned to its former glory and listed Grade II*. More information about the building's history.
With a compelling history to tell, the building needed a new purpose and in 1984 it re-opened as a Museum. The Museum now chronicles the lives of Jewish people in Manchester and their contribution to making the city what it is today. The former ladies' gallery houses the Museum's permanent displays, in which the history of Manchester's Jewish community is vividly brought to life.
The Museum now offers a unique learning programme for schools, colleges and other organisations and hosts an exciting exhibition & events programme.
Registered in England, Manchester Jewish Museum is a company limited by guarantee (Company No. 8370403), a registered charity (Charity No. 508278), VAT registered (VAT No. 177 7230 85) and Accredited Museum (No. 179).

Associated Press
JERUSALEM (AP) -- An Israeli government official says Barbra Streisand is coming to town.
The official says the celebrated American Jewish singer will perform in Israel in June in honor of Israeli President Shimon Peres' 90th birthday.
The official was speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to brief reporters about the matter. There was no immediate comment from Streisand.
The official says Streisand's appearance will coincide with a yearly speaker's conference headed by the Israeli president. This year's conference takes place June 18-20 in Jerusalem.
President Peres told reporters five years ago that Streisand was set to perform at that year's presidential conference, but she didn't show up.
Israeli media said Streisand would also perform in two concerts.

Alrighty. Looks like the teams are the same as last year. Hopefully everyone makes the draft and keeps up with their rosters.
I need new team names. If you are keeping it the same or changing it, let me know either way. If you change it, you're stuck with it for the whole year. It was a pain in the ass when everyone, including me, kept changing their damn names last year.
You should probably sticky this thread, and perhaps subscribe to it as well.
