Here is whats happenning, back in dezember I had my contract upgraded for 2 years and I was told that I was going to get a new phone for free which is the galaxy ll, the rep even told me that I could get another one for 229.00 if I wanted to because of being a loyal customer for 10 years. And now almost 2 months later im been charged for all this extra charges and the rep said that t-mobile only gave me 250.00 as in credit for the phone. So now I think thats unffair, so if you can please review my contract and make sure I dont have to pay what I wasnt told, i'll appreciatte it. Thanks for ur help. Looking foward to hearing from you.
Called to cancel my contract because my family wants to put me on their phone plan with another company and T-Mobile told me I recently got thrown into another contract when in reality none of this was told to me prior to this third year after discontinuing a second phone from this account. I was not told anything about this change at this time or the at the time of the original phone sale to me. I was not given any paperwork to this regard. I am a 73 year old women who cannot afford to pay any contracts I did not sign or agree to.
I am so sick and tired of this crap I do not have a contract I have delt with this matter already and now i want to cancel service and you want to charge me for doing it early but if i dont have a T-Mobile contract it should not cost . I can not tell you all the stuff so I would like some one to call me to clear this matter up. Go back and check all notes talked to a guy there for over one hour and he checked it out, that when i got my phones and paid for them there was no CONTRACT go back i NEVER agreed to any CONTRACT. So get it handled because now you have made me not want to have you at all. I was going to keep one but not now.
Go back and listen to the recording oh thats right she never sent it to one because THER IS NO CONTRACT.

Hood to Coast is the largest relay race in the world, and it's no small feat. Every year, 12,600 runners in teams of 12 hit the starting line at the base of Mount Hood, located 50 miles outside of Portland. Teams cover 198 miles of road from the mountain through the city and over the coast range all the way to the finish line on the beach in Seaside, Oregon. You can't really know what to expect in an adventure of this kind, but in order to survive it, you'll want to know how to prepare.
What to expect:
First and foremost, Hood to Coast is a roaming cavalcade of runners. Picture the scene at the start of a big city marathon and imagine it traveling as a moving caravan for 200 miles, where it stops and immediately starts celebrating with beer. Along the way, you're likely to see vans decorated as if they do, indeed, belong to a circus, and runners in an assortment of attire from serious gear to silly costumes. You can expect to run three legs that are each between 3.52 to 8.09 miles over about 30 hours, while sleeping between zero and four hours, showering little if at all, eating whatever you can put down between runs and standing in line for the port-o-potty at least ten times over the race course. You can most assuredly expect to cross the finish line exhausted and happy.
What to pack:
The Official Hood to Coast website has a great suggested packing list. If you're into lists, print it out and follow it systematically to be the most prepared person in your van. If you're not the list type, pack the essentials: three separate running outfits (see below for specifics); two pairs of running shoes; food and water (see below for specifics), a sleeping bag, a plastic bag to throw your dirty/wet clothes in and toiletries.
What to wear:
Hood to Coast officials put it this way: "Expect a warm first leg, a 15 degree cooler second, and a 40-45 degree leg three." Those are three diverse climates, all packed into one event, so dress accordingly. You'll want to wear what you're comfortable running in, but you'll need to prepare to run three times, in three separate outfits. Seasoned Hood to Coast veterans will pre-pack each outfit. For the hot run, think a sweat-wicking T-shirt and shorts; for the cooler leg, think tights and a T-shirt and for the coldest run of the race, think layers, gloves and a hat to keep you from getting chilled. Don't forget socks that you've run in before (so you know they won't enable blisters to pop up), as well as clean, dry undergarments for each run.
What to eat:
One of the classic mistakes of the first-time Hood to Coast runner is eating the wrong thing. If you eat something that's too tough to digest, you'll run the risk of creating an unhappy gut, which can be hard to remedy during the course of this event.Eat what you're used to and do not try anything new on race weekend. Snacking on things that are easy for your body to digest is your best bet for avoiding the stomach-upset trap. For many people, this means Clif bars, crackers, electrolyte-replacement drinks and the like. Know that when the race is all said and done, you can feast on whatever post-race treat you love the most.
What to do two nights before the start:
Sleep as much as possible. If you can sleep in and head into work late, do it. You will not sleep well the night before because you'll be full of excitement or nerves, so the most sleep you can get two nights before, the better. Also, be sure to load up on good food and to hydrate as much as possible during this pre-race period.
What to do when you get to the starting line:
Forget about your day job and throw your daily responsibilities to the wind. Focus on the task at hand: running and having fun. When you start, you'll feel like it's going to take forever to get to the finish, but it will go quickly and before you know it, you'll be hobbling down the stairs at your office on Monday, talking about how much fun you had and how you can't wait for next year. Enjoy the ride, take in the scenery and appreciate that you're alive and well enough to run a wild relay race in one of the most beautiful parts of the world.

How To Make 24% Or $11,202 In 4 Days Using My Simple Strategy
Swing trading liquid oversold small caps from the NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX is the number 1 strategy I teach. My system is easy to understand and quite possibly the best way for an active trader to engage the market. What's most exciting about my service is that it's scalable working for $1,000 accounts to $1,000,000+ accounts. Below is our recent victory on KWK, another notch in the long list of solid bottom bouncers.
KWK makes a 24% move! $11,202 profit in 4 days
UNG's spike spotted by momentum trader and head moderator Luke prompted my swing alert on KWK – nice teamwork!
Trade verification from E*Trade account
The buy alert was at $2.98 and the sell alert was at $3.69. Scaling in and out is a method I consistently teach subscribers. Some choose to scale while others gamble more for the big score and let it all ride.
-$95,111.39 in
+$106,313.84 out
$11,202.45 profit or 12% realized
Here's what you'd have made at various investment amounts had you mirrored my simple chat, SMS text and email alerts in at $2.98 and out at $3.69.
$1,000 = $1,240
$10,000 = $12,240
$50,000 = $62,000
$100,000 = $124,000
These are liquid small caps I'm playing, not your typical penny stock. Big money moves in and out of them daily making my strategy useful for those with $1,000 in their account and scalable for those with $1,000,000.
"Jason's program is allowing me to work as a freelance writer abroad. without it, I'd have been considering an editorial day job again."
Hi, Jason LOOK at GWBU its down 48% already today !!!! This is why I never, ever, bother with Pump and dumps !!! Too much possible downside. I figure why bother with junk like this if you can find real companies to swing trade.
I really like your reply, I am new to trading, I started trading about 6 months age with $1100.00 and now I am at about $3000.00. I guess that's pretty good, but I think that I could do much better. There is a whole lot to learn in this new game of money that I have embarked upon. You have a gift to teach stocks Jason. I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for your time. Keep up the good work !!!!
I wood love to make 11,000 in 4days tell me how?
When you made 11,000 in four days did you put in 95,000 to make 106,000 or did you lose 95,000 and make 106,000?
I can only trade 1 hour per day. Is it possible to use your service?
Where are your losing buys. I don't see anything other then winnings on your site. Everybody has to have bad plays.
I have a limited amount of time, but I can react quickly to an email (not text). Do u give timely entry and exit alerts?
Jason I need a good broker so I can get started whit the program do you have any in mind.
I have a small account, $2700. I am cursed with not having enough money to enjoy the added platforms from brokers and restricted to only 3 trades a week since I do not have $25,000 in my account. Do you believe investing $297 in you will grow my account in order to get me to the "day trader status" ? Obviously, my investments will have to be small and just inch my way to where I want to be.
I've only got $5k and 2 days a week to trade. I wanted to try penny stocks first to get up to $25k and then do your premium strategy. Your thoughts? (I turned $300 into $5k selling calls – options – but then the trades went south and I lost it. It took a while to rebuild my account.
what do you think about BHRT stock. Do you think its worth investing in it.

NEW YORK CITY — The Joseph DuMouchelle jewelry auction conducted on May 8 astounded bidders with a final bid totaling $348,000 for an antique Tiffany & Co. lady's pendant. The estimate was $125/175,000. The platinum and gold heart-shaped pendant, circa 1895, featured a central 15.06-carat old mine-cut diamond, graded by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) as a natural fancy yellow color, clarity VS1. Bidding for the diamond opened at $150,000 and quickly escalated. Potential buyers included individuals from the United States and overseas who participated online, by phone and on the auction floor by proxy.
The pendant with attached seed pearl necklace was featured in John Loring's Tiffany's 150 Years (Doubleday & Co., Inc, 1987). It was also featured in the exhibition "Tiffany: 150 Years of Gems and Jewelry" at the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, in 1988. Early speculation in the diamond trade had indicated the value of the piece was in the diamond, which, once bought, would possibly be recut. The purchaser has already stated this will not be the case; the historical piece will be kept intact.
Once owned by Helen de Kay, the pendant features a near invisible setting perfected by Tiffany craftsmen during the 1860s. The design would eventually lead to the universally acclaimed six-pronged "Tiffany setting," which remains the definitive diamond setting today.
The auction also included signed jewelry by Tiffany Schlumberger, Cartier, Seaman Schepps and Chanel, as well as timepieces by Chopard, Rolex, Tiffany, Piaget, Chaumet and Jaeger-LeCoultre. More than 170 lots were offered during the event, resulting in total sales of $1,042,770.
Another featured lot was an Edwardian platinum and 21.36-carat diamond lady's bracelet that realized $90,000. A 3.98-carat round brilliant-cut diamond ring, SI1 clarity and J color, accompanied by a GIA report, sold for $42,000, while a 15.50-carat unheated Ceylon sapphire and diamond lady's ring fetched $38,400.
Additional highlight of the sale included a rose-cut diamond necklace that brought $33,600; a Tiffany & Co. fancy sapphire, diamond and pearl lady's necklace and bracelet set that finished at $26,400 and a Chopard 18K yellow gold and turquoise lady's watch that went out at $19,200. The same amount was realized for a 49-carat natural alexandrite and diamond lady's ring, while an 18K white gold and approximate 11.32-carat diamond lady's convertible necklace brought $15,600, and a 6.87-carat natural unheated Ceylon sapphire, unmounted, commanded $14,760.
Prices reported include the buyer's premium.

Categories: Risk Management | Pricing & Valuations
UniCredit Global Information Systems (UGIS) has signed a deal with Platform Computing, to provide a private cloud environment for its global markets and investment banking, and risk management applications.
The shared computing environment was built using Platform Symphony and elements of Platform ISF, creating a grid computing platform across UGIS's datacenters. Pricing and risk management within UGIS Global Markets & Treasury are now computed using this distributed model.
"The traditional approach to IT is not working as the current model of building silos does not meet the dynamic needs of an organisation in a competitive and fast-moving sector, such as financial services," says Christopher Nathan, vice president EMEA at Platform Computing. "Enterprise grid computing offers organisations like UGIS Global Markets & Treasury a responsive, cost-effective IT model that delivers critical resources and added value."

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

|Conversion chart
- 1 pound(s) baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground black pepper
- 1.5 tablespoon(s) dried green peppercorns
- 1.5 tablespoon(s) dried pink peppercorns
- 4 (1 1/4-inch-thick) rib veal chops (10 ounces each), bones frenched
- 2 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup(s) white balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup(s) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- Green Beans (optional), for serving
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper. Arrange, cut side down, in a roasting pan. Roast 30 minutes, or until tender and cut sides are golden brown and crispy.
- While potatoes are roasting, coarsely grind peppercorns with a mortar and pestle. Reserve 1 teaspoon for the sauce. Pat chops dry and coat both sides with peppercorns, pressing them into pork to adhere. Season with the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil with 1 tablespoon of the butter in a heavy 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add chops; sear 2 minutes per side, until browned. Place skillet in oven; roast 6 minutes, turning chops after 3 minutes, for medium doneness.
- Remove skillet from oven. Transfer chops to a platter and loosely tent with foil. Using an oven mitt to hold skillet handle, add broth and vinegar to skillet and deglaze by boiling over high heat, scraping up brown bits. Add the reserved 1 teaspoon peppercorn mixture; simmer until reduced to about 1/3 cup. Remove from heat; swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter until melted.
- Turn potatoes cut side up in roasting pan and sprinkle evenly with Gorgonzola. Return to oven for 3 minutes, until melted.
- To serve, place a chop on each serving plate. Spoon pan sauce over chops. Serve with Gorgonzola potatoes, and green beans, if desired.

The U.S. housing market continued to show signs of improvement last year, and data released this morning revealed that both housing starts and building permits in 2013 soared to their highest level in six years. One homebuilder that's shown increasing promise in recent months is PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE:PHM), which has tacked on an impressive 36% since hitting a mid-August low of $14.23. Helping the stock springboard higher has been its 40-day moving average -- currently located at $19.00 -- and a recent consolidation near this trendline could be signaling the stock's next move higher.
Despite this strong technical showing, skepticism toward the security can still be found on the Street. In fact, although short interest declined 20.6% during the last two reporting periods, it still accounts for a healthy 6.3% of the PHM's available float, equating to nearly 22 million shares sold short. Going forward, a continued unwinding of these bearish bets could help boost PHM further up the charts.
Elsewhere, no fewer than nine out of 13 covering analysts maintain a "hold" or "strong sell" suggestion toward the stock. Plus the consensus 12-month price target of $19.84 sits a slight 2.4% above PHM's current perch at $19.38. Given the security's recent run higher, a round of well-deserved upgrades and/or price-target hikes could spark another surge of buying power for PHM.
Finally, the equity's Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) reading is docked at 75. In other words, PHM has tended to make outsized moves, relative to what the options market has priced in.
Traders eyeing additional upside for PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE:PHM) may wish to consider buying the stock's in-the-money April 17 call, which currently sports an ask price of $2.96. However, those wanting to take a more moderate stance ahead of the company's quarterly earnings report -- slated for release ahead of the bell on Thursday, Jan. 30 -- could initiate a bull call spread by simultaneously selling PHM's April 23 calls, which were last seen carrying a bid price of $0.30.

"UD Sales Internship "
I worked at AroundCampus
This company is great for college students that are still doing their undergrad. They offer a summer sales internship that is great to get some sales experience before you graduate. There is also a great training week in Chapel Hill with all expenses paid
In the sales internship, you have to sale print ads in your universities directory. This is super challenging, considering print is a thing of the past. Depending on which territory or city you are in can affect your performance. Your best bet is to try to love the product.
My management was good, but one of the guy's was too pushy.

I love grapefruits and grapefruit juice. Is it safe to eat them with my meds?
- Q: I love grapefruits and grapefruit juice, but since I take several medications I'm confused as to when, or if, I can safely eat them. I take Wellbutrin and Prevacid in the morning, and Effexor and Prevacid in the evening. The Prevacid is for GERD and a hiatal hernia. Also, does grapefruit interfere with any otc vitamins, antihistamines, or painkillers?
- A: Grapefruit and its juice reacts with many prescription, nonprescription, and pain medications. Based on the medications you are taking, it may be better to avoid grapefruit. The effects on your medications can last up to 24 hours after ingesting this product. Be on the safe side and refrain from drinking or eating this fruit.

The Church defines this as one meal a day, and two smaller meals which if added together would not exceed the main meal.

The first Ozzfest I ever went to was in 2000, and I had started listening to Godsmack a couple years prior to that, and their stuff was just so edgy and raw, it had a real down-to-earth, gritty, pissed-off feel to it, it just captured what I love about metal & hard rock in general. Then I saw them live...total game-changer. The line-up that year was amazing (Soulfly, Disturbed, Static-x, Godsmack, Pantera, and Ozzy), and out of all of those great performers, Godsmack were the ones that stood out the best, they just poured their souls into their performance & demanded to be heard by the audience. I was on-board ever since then, and just like a good cigar or a good bottle of wine, they have gotten oh so better over the years :).
Ok we use to do secret santa in our family for the cousins because we have a huge ass family so I got my cousin whom is into Metallica, Anthrax, Led Zeppelin, etc. So he asked for the first GodSmack album so my mother and I went to get it and I wanted to listen to it but my mother forbid me because of the parental advisory so OF COURSE once I gave it to him, we sat there and listened to it for hours and I was hooked. Thanks Matt, I love you lmao. I have all albums plus Avalon I love their music very inspiring and there is always a song for the mood you are in. Haven't got to see them yet, was suppose to in August but didn't work out.
Ok ok here ya go - was workin 1 day n coworker playd few songs off 1st cd n i imediately went hell yea n went n got it n it all started n have em all but great hits 1 but do want for LZ cover was great. I saw them on Faceless tour Breaking Benjamin n another band i missd opend for them was totally a awesome nite. People i knew was goin met me there. Was first big arena concert id seen n was blown away by Godsmack of course. Fave song damn near all of em their music lyrics n everything can always relate to 1 way or another just way life is n things happen their music n words are bout life n shit happenin.Awake is a main fave coz of the drum bridge n lyrics along with I stand alone n so many of them hard to put a fingure on just 1 -- Mistakes - Voodoo -Faceless- Love hate - Speak also top fave - The whole Other Side love aucustic - Hollow - ETC. ETC. Godsmack just ?$@~ rocks plain n simple
Well, my story is the typical, rebellious teenager story, with a little of a twist to it. I spent my entire childhood growing up in foster care, with a not so very nice foster mother. My real family was non existant, for all intents and purposes, I was very much alone. After a particularly foul beating from my foster mother, I snuck out of my house to see the movie, the Scorpian King. After the movie was over, and the credits were rolling, the song I Stand Alone came on, and I was tranfixed. I was into Eminen, Snoop Dogg and 50 Cents at the time, as well as the Thong Song, (god, I can hardly believe it now), and after I heard that song, I instantly switched to rock. Or, the Devil's music, as my foster mother titled it. So, my tastes ran towards Godsmack, Marilyn Manson, Korn, System of a Down..... yadee yada yada, all played exceedingly loud to annoy my mother. I found out all I could about Godsmack, and they are still my favorite band to this day. I Stand Alone seemed the epitome of all the independance that I still enjoy to this day...............
Well to keep it simple, I am a fan because they kick ass, and they saved my musical life. Back when I was like 12 years old, my sister had a couple of GodSmack videos; I Stand Alone; Awake and Straight Out of Line. Back in those day I was a poppy little fagot, I was in to Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Back Street Boys and shit like that, I listened to Aeorsmith, Nickelback and Bon Jovi as well, but I wasn't realy in to that. So one day I watch those GodSmack videos and it totally changed my life from there. I started searching for more information about them, more videos and albums, and well, the rest is history :). I thank GodSmack every day for putting me out of my misery and in to this great world of Rock and Roll. And sex and alcohol of curse;).

Dáil Éireann - Volume 327 - 24 February, 1981
Written Answers. - Car Insurance.
Mr. Begley Mr. Begley
339. Mr. Begley asked the Minister for the Environment the reason an insurance company (details supplied) will not issue insurance certificates for at least four weeks to people who have paid their policy demands in full; and if he will request the Garda Síochána not to prosecute motorists who cannot tax their cars as a result.
Minister for the Environment (Mr. R. Burke) Raphael P. Burke
Minister for the Environment (Mr. R. Burke): I understand that because of a recent industrial dispute some temporary and unavoidable delay occurred in the issue by the company concerned of certificates of insurance under the Road Traffic Acts. The company's normal practice is to issue such certificates immediately on payment of premiums at any one of their offices, or to do so within [72] about a week where the payment is made by post.
The enforcement of the law relating to the licensing of motor vehicles is a matter for the Garda authorities and it would not be appropriate for me to intervene in the manner suggested by the Deputy.

Nearly all xenobiotics are derived from a petroleum source. They are found in literally thousands of products that we use everyday. These products include plastics, microchips, medicines, foods, soaps, lotions, clothing, pesticides, herbicides, cleansers, etc.
Our main source of xenoestrogens in food is from animal fats, particularly red meat and dairy products. Cattle and chicken are given estrogenic substances to make them gain weight. Additionally, they are exposed to xenobiotic chemicals through their food supply that has been grown with chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Anyone who eats meat and dairy products from traditional commercial sources is exposed to these compounds.
The danger in these xenobiotics and xenoestrogens is that they mimic our natural hormones. Because of their close resemblance to natural hormones, the cells accept these hormone-like molecules. However, because these chemicals are not our natural hormones, the cells get either a contaminated message or no message at all. If even one atom is missing from a hormone molecule, the cells' messages will be incorrect causing cells to malfunction.
So what do we do to minimize the damage from these unavoidable chemicals? Go organic. Use natural products that are safer for both you and the environment. Eat a diet high in fiber so that toxins are eliminated rather than absorbed. Most of all, eat lots of fruits and vegetables – preferably organic.
Be aware that cooking in plastics increases leaching of the harmful chemicals into your food. A recent study showed that microwaving with plastic wrap caused levels 10,000,000 times greater than the FDA acceptable level of the known carcinogen DEHA. This same study also revealed increases in food levels of xenoestrogens.
Take herbs and other supplements that help protect and detoxify the liver such as milk thistle, and n-acetyl cysteine. DIM – a broccoli extract and calcium d-glucarate will help the body break down and eliminate excess estrogens. Avoid low quality supplements that include synthetics and unnecessary incipients and fillers. If you suspect problems associated with excess estrogen such as unexplained weight gain, breast cancer, prostate problems, loss of libido, depression, mood swings, etc., consider using a natural progesterone cream to balance the excess estrogen.
There is considerable research linking these chemicals to health problems in both animals and people. If you want more information, search the internet on xenobiotics or xenoestrogens.

Accessibility & Disability
A company that creates online learning programs for use in middle and high school education has begun the work of making its courses accessible. Advanced Academics said it has modified about 100 courses to comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, which specifically sets out accessibility requirements for technology to be used by the federal government. In this case, the developer was addressing features of its software to make them usable by students with hearing or visual impairment.
Changes include the addition of closed captioning in audiovisual course content. Transcripts of audiovisual content are also available, allowing hearing-impaired students to read information contained in videos and audio clips. A screen reader has been added to translate text into audio for visually impaired students. Students can navigate courses and read content by using keyboard functions to tab around the screen as an alternative to the use of a computer mouse, and transcripts are available for all video components. Finally, the organization changed the font and other design elements in its courses to assist colorblind students in reading text.
The revised courses recently received approval by the Digital Learning Department of the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction in the state of Washington.
The organization plans to release 50 additional courses compliant with Section 508 by the end of January 2012. The company's course catalog lists about 182 courses in total.
"This project was an enormous undertaking that involved people from across our organization," said company president Jeffrey Elliott. "Making our online courses available to hearing and visually impaired students supports Advanced Academics' mission to help all students graduate from high school and succeed in life."

I use this mostly to remove remnants of oilier eye makeup removers, but I've also been known to use it as a calming cleanser for my whole face if I don't have much makeup to remove.
It's super gentle and doesn't sting my eyes at all, even if quite a lot gets into them. I've used Avene's Micellar formula and liked it, which led me to try the Vichy when my drugstore stopped carrying the Avene. It was a happy accident because I prefer the Vichy due to its milder, less perfumed scent. This costs me about US$15 at CVS.

NC25 Chinese, acne prone, waterproof sunscreen and full makeup.
It does not seem as nice or as effective as the Bioderma, but Vichy is a heck of lot easier to obtain in the US. So I would grab this IF I just HAD to have micellar water. But really, if I was desperate for makeup removal, I would probably just use jojoba oil in a pinch until I get more Bioderma in the mail.

I picked this up from my neighborhood Walgreens for $17 + tax. I have highly sensitive skin and am prone to mild yet persistent acne/clogged pores. My skin is combo-oily but is chronically dehydrated and starting to show signs of rosacea. Even the mildest of wash off cleansers cause my skin to feel tight and dry and force me to use a moisturizer which wouldn't be necessary otherwise...and then that of course leads to other problems such as clogged pores. Oil cleansing with mineral oil is the closest I've gotten, but my skin still sometimes get irritated due to having to remove with a washcloth. Very unpleasant cycle I've been stuck in.
I'd been wanting to try a micellar cleanser for a while, but they haven't quite caught on in the states yet. This was my only option since I didn't want to shell out the $ for any of the ones from Sephora and my skin is so sensitive that I didn't want to risk sending away for the Bioderma/Avene/LRP only for them to not work.
Luckily for me, this works and it works well. I can't say how it works on sunscreen removal since I'm still looking for one that works, but it does a fantastic job of removing my light daily makeup (powder, blush, e/s, non-wp mascara) and cleansing my skin without leaving it feeling tight and uncomfortable. Also to my surprise it did not sting/irritate my skin or leave a gross film or residue. My skin actually feels calmer and totally comfortable after using this - no additional moisturizer necessary except around my two dry areas - eyes/mouth. I've only used for a few days so far, but I am feeling hopeful that this may be it for me.

More reviews by northerngal100
I am a big fan of micellar solutions. I have used both caudalie and avene versions in the past, but I recently bought vichy because the 400ml was on sale for the price of the 200ml ($22 CAN) and I heard good things.
Out of the three of them, I definitely like Vichy the best. It removes makeup better (of course, if you are wearing more than a light foundation/tinted moisturizer - you might need something else...) and it also doesn't have a lot of fragrance like the others. It is also about half the price of the caudalie.
I happen to like the pump the 400ml comes with, though it isn't that travel friendly - it is convenient just to reach into the medicine cabinet and dispense. Just push gently on the pump or else the product comes out straight at you!
I use it in the morning with a spritz of mineral water and at night before washing with vichy cleansing milk. So far, this is keeping my dry, sensitive, and blackhead prone skin really happy. No tightness, even in the winter!

This is my first Vichy face product and its amazing!
No noticeable scent
Like water
Amazingly mild while removing makeup including eye makeup easily
Although it is not required to be rinsed off, i still do because i'm just used to rinsing off any cleanser. I do the same for Bioderma and Nuxe. The only con is that its expensive.
Very impressed and will continue repurchasing it.
the best thing ever
I absolutly live for this: My "babywipe" of life ! I keep it in my purse and everywhere I go. Its the only thing I can tolerate to remove my makeup + and all of it. It never burns, never irritates my skin, and hydrates and soothes. I wait to buy it on sale at Shoppers and get the optimum points.
I went through gallons of this stuff when I lived in France, clearly I loved it. And at the time, it worked well - removing light make up in a speedy fashion, keeping my skin soft. But I didn't wear any SS or heavy make up (just a primer & some concealer) so it was fine.
Fast forward a couple of years and this no longer cuts the mustard. That is, if you wear a heavy duty SS and make up, especially anything that's long wearing. I hate to say it, but Bioderma Sensibio does a much better job at removing heavier make up & SS. I'll use it up, but won't repurchase.

This micellar cleanser does everything I expect it to; it removes light makeup, including non-waterproof mascara, doesn't leave a residue, and also doesn't irritate my slightly sensitive skin. I will definitely repurchase.
This stuff is fine, just like the La Roche Posay one. I love micellar water cleansers, they are affordable, quick and effective and they do not bother my sensitive, acne-prone skin. Outside of the shower these are the only cleansers I use: no more messing around with face wash, makeup-remover etcetera.
I prefer the Avene one, somehow it seems to calm down my skin just a little bit more. But if I can't be bothered with ordering that one online the Vichy one is readily available in every local pharmacy here, so I do use it from time to time and it's pretty good.

CORPUS CHRISTI - The Dr. Jack Dugan Family Soccer & Track Stadium will be receiving an upgrade in the coming months, as lights will be added to the facility, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Director of Athletics Scott Lazenby announced today. The Islanders will make their regular-season debut under the lights on Friday, Sept. 5, when the women's soccer team faces Texas at 7 p.m.
"Adding lighting to Dugan Stadium, which is already one of the top venues in the area, makes an already outstanding facility even more so," Director of Athletics Scott Lazenby said. "It also gives us the ability to host conference championships and increases our ability to host events that will benefit the Corpus Christi community.
"To play our first regular-season home game under those lights against a nationally recognized program like the University of Texas should make for a tremendous atmosphere and a landmark moment in Islanders Soccer history," he added.
The remainder of the women's soccer schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.
The addition of lights will greatly expand the options for both the track and field and soccer programs in scheduling, both for games and practices. The addition will allow the women's soccer program to play its midweek home games in the evening rather than the afternoon, allowing more fans to attend contests. The track and field programs will be able to host more in-depth meets that span multiple days, and should attract larger and deeper fields of teams.
Additionally, both teams will be able to host practices during the evening hours, when summer temperatures are not as extreme, helping the overall welfare of Islanders student-athletes. It will also allow student-athletes more flexibility when assembling their class schedules.
The lighting will be provided by Musco Lighting, the same lights that are used at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. Facilities Solutions Group of Corpus Christi will supply the electrical work for the four-pole system, which will also be equipped with the ability to be turned on and off remotely.
The university broke ground on the Dr. Jack Dugan Family Soccer & Track Stadium on May 25, 2012 and it celebrated its grand opening on Aug. 23, 2013. The approximately $8.8 million facility is the home to the Islanders track team and the newly-established Islanders women's soccer program. The 15,300-square foot facility, which features a soccer field enclosed by an eight-lane track, hosts Southland Conference competitions as well as non-conference games and tournaments featuring nationally-prominent programs from across the country. There is also seating for up to 1,000 spectators, concessions, a press box, private suites, locker rooms, training rooms, storage, a ticket office and coaches' offices.

If you needed an example of the ways in which Kris Jenner gets on my damn nerves, here you go.
Apparently some doofus gave this woman her own talk show titled Kris, and in an effort to capitalize off of the hype surrounding Kim and Kanye's baby, Pimp Jenner uploaded the photo above with the caption "You never know who will stop by our show today #WatchKris." Clearly she's implying that her new granddaughter North West would make an appearance, as everyone assumed.
Well it seems as though the baby Kris is holding is actually her stylist Monica Rose's son Salvador (pictured below) and this was all a stunt to get people tuned in to the new talk show. Do you see the shenanigans, Kanye? Are they going to place some mysterious baby lips on the next ad for their flop cosmetics too? Donda would never.

Today a new web-resource — www.opacmo.org — has been born that will support biologists, physicists and life sciences researchers in general to find publications linked to genes, species, diseases, cellular components, biological processes and molecular functions. This blog post gives a brief introduction to opacmo's features, swiftly explores the background behind its development, highlights opacmo's provided data resources, and explains how the latter can be easily reproduced. The blog post closes with an outlook into opacmo's future.
The Open Access Mortar, a.k.a. opacmo, is a mash-up of several bioinformatical assets. opacmo links open access publications to biomedical resources and provides a search interface for easy information retrieval. opacmo lets you carry out searches for officially named terms and presents you the publications that are linked to these terms. opacmo also accounts for unofficial synonyms or common names that might be used instead of the officially accepted terms. For example, a search for BRCA2 will automatically include publications that refer to the gene's synonyms FAD, BROVCA2, etc. For each provided link, opacmo also presents you a visually augmented confidence score, so that you can quickly judge whether the presented search result might be a false positive. For example, BRCA2's synonym FAD is also an abbreviation of "Failure Assessment Diagram" which can be mistaken for a gene due to its abbreviation.
opacmo's gene links are supported by a species normalisation algorithm that helps to pick the best fitting gene depending on the species mentions in a document. For example, the gene BRCA2 can refer to 350 Entrez genes, but taking the species normalisation into account it is possible to subsequently pick the best fitting gene. This particular normalisation technique has been investigated in an earlier blog post, where I evaluated the gene normalisation quality of bioknack's named entity recognition tool. bioknack's ubiquitous role in opacmo is addressed in more detail in the Background section of this blog post.
opacmo also links publications to ontology terms of the Gene Ontology and the Disease Ontology — both of which are part of the Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies (OBO Foundry). bioknack's named entity recognition tool was extended for this very purpose, but a detailed description of the term recognition technique would go beyond the scope of this blog post and has to follow later. In a nutshell, opacmo provides links to ontology terms that are typically not found by ordinary full-text search engines. For example, a document containing the phrase "heart and lung disease" would match a full-text search for "lung disease", but a full-text search over that phrase would fail to find "heart disease" due to the absence of this specific wording. opacmo accounts for complex sentence structures and will link a document containing the phrase "heart and lung disease" to both Disease Ontology terms "heart disease" and "lung disease".
opacmo also has the ability to combine searches as conjunctive queries, so that it is possible to find publications that are linked to multiple terms. For example, in opacmo it is straightforward to restrict a search to include only those publications that talk about the gene BRCA2 as well as the Human Disease Ontology term "leukemia" in a matter of a few mouse clicks. Further terms can be added to make the search more specific and previously added search terms can be removed again to retrieve a more general search result. opacmo's minimalistic web-interface has been especially designed to make this otherwise complicated search query formulation as user friendly as possible.
Last, but not least, search results of opacmo can be downloaded in Excel file format as well as TSV files. This allows you to integrate opacmo's resources into your work without requiring advanced computer skills. The screenshot below shows how opacmo's web-interface looks like.
opacmo is based on experiences that I have made during my early career as a bioinformatician. The following paragraphs capture very loosely the events that eventually led to the development and release of opacmo.
I have previously developed and set-up the BioMart 0.7 based web-site www.pubmed2ensembl.org that links publications to genes. pubmed2ensembl consists of several data sources, where the largest data source is provided by a run of the gene normalisation tool GNAT/LINNAEUS over the abstracts of the publication abstracts of MEDLINE's baseline 2010. pubmed2ensembl focuses only on linking publications to genes, but I find that there is very little difference between recognising and normalising gene mentions and doing the same for other entities — as long as those entities are somewhat distinguishable from their surrounding textual context. To test this hypothesis, I developed tools for the generic recognition of arbitrary entities in another project of mine that have found their way into opacmo: the bioknack tool suite.
bk_ner.rb is a dictionary-based named-entity recognition tool that can efficiently locate word compounds (one or more words, not necessarily consecutive) in documents and provide identifier based links between them.
bk_ner.rb supports synonyms by linking word compound entities to more than one identifier (parameter
-m relational) and it allows for the recognition of multi-word compounds that are appearing non-consecutively in documents (parameter
-y). Named entity recognition pipelines can be set up with
bk_ner.rb's wrapper script
bk_ner_gn.sh. I have evaluated a predecessor of
bk_ner_gn.sh over the Gold standard of BioCreative 3 and presented the results in a previous blog post, where I showed that it outperforms GNAT/LINNAEUS as document retrieval system.
bk_ner_gn.sh and
bk_ner.rb actually require memory and processing power orders of magnitudes lower [sic] than GNAT/LINNAEUS, so that it is actually possible for me to carry out text mining without the need for a computer cluster. The efficient execution of bioknack's generic normalisation capabilities permit a short processing turnaround which means that there is a lower risk of a
bk_ner_gn.sh based resource to become "stale" as it can be quite regularly be seen with computationally demanding bioinformatics resources. opacmo builds on top of bioknack's
bk_ner_gn.sh to circumvent a similar fate and to keep its resources up to date.
opacmo's Resources
opacmo is currently in its startup phase and includes only linked information the open access BioMed Central journals. The table below shows the number of linked publications, genes, species and ontology terms (diseases, cellular components, biological processes and molecular functions) available through opacmo's web site:
|opacmo's linked BioMed Central journals
|Open access publications
|Entrez genes
|Ontology terms
|Ontology terms broken down by source:
|Gene Ontology terms
|Disease Ontology terms
The plan is to to include the complete open access subset of PubMed Central in opacmo, which would then provide links for more than 200,000 documents. It will only take about 2 months to process the remaining documents of PubMed Central — as background process on a plain vanilla Mac. Even though I cannot reveal more information right now, there is the possibility that I could collaborate with someone who has access to a high performance Linux cluster, which would speed up the release of the full dataset considerably.
Technical Background
The web-site is only the tip of the iceberg that is opacmo. opacmo's repository includes the scripts that form the complete pipeline for building the database that serves the web site. The pipeline scripts make use of bioknack — the aforementioned bioinformatics tool suite — that in itself features a self-contained pipeline for carrying out the text mining tasks needed to generate opacmo's links between publications and genes, species, etc.
opacmo's pipeline centers around two scripts:
make_opacmo.sh and
load_opacmo.sh. The former script downloads the necessary resources for creating opacmo, carries out the text mining and performs some additional filtering over
bk_ner_gn.sh's results so that they can be stored in denormalised database schema for quick information retrieval. The latter script
load_opacmo.sh then populates the database with the denormalised data, where currently only the two databases PostgreSQL and MongoDB are supported.
If you are interested in recreating opacmo's backend, then you can do so by executing the following commands on either Mac OS X (10.6 or newer) or Linux (Debian 184.108.40.206 or newer):
Linux: apt-get -y install git Linux: apt-get -y install ruby Linux: apt-get -y install gawk Linux / OS X: mkdir opacmo_build ; cd opacmo_build Linux / OS X: git clone git://github.com/joejimbo/bioknack Linux / OS X: git clone git://github.com/joejimbo/opacmo Linux / OS X: export PATH=$PATH:`pwd`/bioknack:`pwd`/opacmo Linux / OS X: make_opacmo all
It is fastest to run bioknack's
bk_ner_gn.sh with JRuby (uncomment the adjacent variables
ner_maxmem and
ruby_interpreter in
bk_ner_gn.sh), but a lot of memory is required due to JRuby's implementation. The best compromise between computational speed and memory requirements is achieved using Ruby 1.9. bioknack needs at least Ruby 1.8.7 to function — Ruby 1.8.6 definitely does not work with the scripts.
Further Work
opacmo's backend currently only links 30,077 publications to genes, species, diseases, cellular components, biological processes and molecular functions. Over the next months opacmo will be extended to provide links for documents of the complete open access subset of PubMed Central. I will also keep working on opacmo's user interface to make it usable not only to bioinformaticians, but also to the biomedical researchers who can probably harness opacmo's resources best.
Many thanks go to Miyuki Fukuma who provided web-design consultation on early versions of opacmo's web interface. I also thank Maximilian Haeussler for pointing out several issues that plagued previous versions of the scripts under Linux.
