Is there any natural hormone replacement that would be safe for me to take to lessen my symptoms of hot flashes, and bone, muscle and collagen loss?
- Q: I'm 63 years old, I stopped menstruating at 55, but continue to have hot flashes, osteopenia, and in the past year have experienced a noticeable loss of collagen and muscle tone. I also have a genetic history of Leiden 5 factor. Is there any natural hormone replacement that would be safe for me to take to lessen my symptoms?
- A: Natural hormone replacement is usually in reference to either dietary supplements that are sold over the counter or compounded hormone replacement therapy medications that are often referred to as "bio identical". Both over the counter dietary supplements and compounded bio identical hormones are not approved FDA (Food and Drug Administration) medications. Because dietary supplements and compounded bio identical hormones have not been thoroughly studied in the clinical setting, possible side effects and interactions with other drugs are not well known. Also, because these products are not strictly regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, these products are not required to be tested for effectiveness, purity, or safety. In general, over the counter dietary supplements should only be taken under the supervision of your health care provider. There are prescription hormone replacement medications available. As with any medication there are risks and warnings associated with the use of these products. Talk to your physician to determine which type of treatment is best for your symptoms. Jen Marsico, RPh

Herpes Treatment
The Herpes Virus is a well-known virus that can produce a variety of symptoms. It commonly occurs as a Herpes simplex virus infection or Herpes Zoster infection. Within the United States, epidemiological studies have shown that more than 90% of individuals over the age of 40 years are susceptible to developing reactivation of the virus (chicken pox at a younger age is counted as the first attack). However, with vaccines the recurrence rate seems to have decreased.
The herpes virus can affect different systems and thus cause different infections. This is discussed below, along with the Herpes treatment of these infections.
Types of Herpes
1. Genital Herpes
2. Oral Herpes
3. Herpes Zoster (Shingles)
Most cases of herpes infection are diagnosed from history of the illness and clinical examination.
The main problem associated with herpes infection is recurrence. In cases of shingles, the pain can sometimes remain, and will require special treatments.
Treatment of Herpes infections
There are a variety of Herpes treatments available for the infections, but there does not appear to be a permanent cure.
Forces of Nature's H-Balm Control for herpes is a potent, certified (FDA and USDA) organic remedy to naturally heal the body and soothe the symptoms of outbreaks. H-Balm is a proprietary formula manufactured only by Forces of Nature and delivers a healing effect time after time. It has been proven to ease pain and discomfort, and provides soothing relief from skin eruptions. While it is effective on its own, it can safely be used with other drugs that act against the herpes virus.
Herpes infections can be bothersome and rather distressing at times. Safe and effective Herpes medications are available that can make living with Herpes a lot easier. While there is no cure, the Forces of Nature H-Balm Control can help provide safe and effective natural shingles, genital herpes and cold sore treatment.

CIDA's Crush on China
Hereditary peerages and titled nobleman helped create CIDA, the extraordinary century-old private service brand. CIDA had ever provided private butler service to the House of Windsor Family, famous Hollywood movie star Marilyn Monroe and other celebrities as well. Originating from royal court determines that it only serves to the elites. CIDA has always been a private topic among people in upper societies at their leisure time. This arcane brand started to be demystified until recently when the overseas Chinese investment consortium YINGJIADATONG took over CIDA at vast expense. It is just into the public view, which contributes to the alliance between CIDA England and Chengdu, China.
As the second-to-none private service brand in England, CIDA concentrates on providing luxurious experiences for senior managers, industry leaders and important political figures. In additional to meet the requirement in your daily life, CIDA will also offer efficient business support around the clock to ensure an ultimately sumptuous environment for tenants and their best performances at all times.
The once-impossible connection between CIDA and China now has been realized. With its extraordinary century-old service apartment managerial expertise and luxurious service system, CIDA enters into the Asia-Pacific market, setting up branches in Hong Kong and conducting business within the region, majoring in investing and operating steward type service. Its debut work—CIDAHUATING—has just been settled in Chengdu. Characterized England style, the apartment is about to be presented perfectly. Let's look forward to this extravagant England steward type service apartment here in Chengdu.

Your glyphs will largely depend on your raid setup. For example, if you are going to need to lock down a set of transition adds, you'll need to glyph Holy Wrath for the elemental stun. As for talents, Holy Avenger is really good on Garrosh (especially if you have managed to get your mitts on a HWF Malkorok trinket, and the Light's Hammer healing effect is good on all of the AoE healing phases as the raid is clumped up such a lot.
As the other two glyphs I would take Final Wrath and Word of Glory. The boss has multiple execute range phases, so you get a lot of use out of the HW glyph. Word of Glory glyph gives you an additional 9% damage during Holy Avenger, which means you do a lot of damage, especially if Grand Crusader procs.
You will probably want to be saving major CDs for the Whirlwinds, as for WW 2 and 3 in Phase 2 you will have 12 stacks of the despair debuff. Additionally, you will need to set up a couple of major raid cooldowns for the two tank debuff explosions in Phase 3 as they will hurt quite a lot (especially the second one). With solo-tanking it, you might be able to skip the third P2 Whirlwind.
You might be able to soak annihilates in Transition 1 if you find that the 12 stack debuff plus Whirlwind is not too dangerous with only Divine Protection (leave it unglyphed).
If you use Avenging Wrath on the pull, it will be ready as you come out of the first transition, and then be ready for the bloodlust burn in Phase 3. Use Holy Avenger together with Avenging Wrath.

For those fans who didn't snag tickets to one of Wilco's five Chicago shows in one week last December, the band is heading up an all-local bill this summer at a larger venue: the Kane County Cougars stadium in Geneva, and it's a day the team's General Manager, Curtis Haug, has been waiting for for some time.
Wilco will perform July 8 at the Fifth Third Bank Ballpark, the official name of the home of the Cougars, and it will be the first time in over two decades that the stadium has been used as a concert venue. Also on the bill are singer-songwriter Andrew Bird and Chicago soul band the Congregation.
"We had such a great time at our shows in December, but not everyone was able to get tickets," Wilco's Jeff Tweedy said. "So this time, we've made sure that there will be plenty of room for everyone, so anyone who wants to can come out and have a great time with us."
Haug is tickled pink by the idea.
"Chicago has really embraced Wilco, and we're happy to have them out," he said. Holding musical concerts at the stadium was a dream of Haug's, which will soon become a reality — and he's hoping it will continue. "We've been trying to do this for a long time. It's going to be a nice concert with a nice band that's incredibly popular in this area. We feel that once this concert is done, hopefully the door will open to a lot more concerts here."
The convenient location for Fox Valley residents also saves ticket-buyers a long drive home from Chicago post-show.
The show's finale will be a fireworks display, and despite the $50 admission, ticket sales are going well, Haug said.
Come show day, Haug said, he is confident that crowd control will not be an issue.
"We've been doing Cougars baseball here for 22 years. We handle big crowds, it's what we do," he said.
Seating will be mostly in the stands, but standing room will also be available on the field.
In addition to Wilco, The Great American Road Trip crew will be in Geneva to register voters as part of a drive held at Dave Matthews Band, Wilco, Phish and Furthur concerts across the country.
Their trek, organized by the nonpartisan voter registration organization HeadCount, will collectively cover over 15,000 miles and 103 concerts, and help tens of thousands of people register to vote.

December 22, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Republicans ended the recent General Assembly with some high-profile measures derailed by infighting.
They were positioned to make major changes to state law with the governorship and a supermajority in the Legislature.
Leaders say the fracturing was to be expected, and they had been warning of it since winning more than two-thirds of the legislative seats in November.
Vanderbilt University political science professor Bruce Oppenheimer acknowledged that fractions are common in supermajorities.
He says it's easy to hold a party together when the majority is small. But when it's larger, it's harder to control because members start seeing their differences with each other instead of their party.
One proposal that failed because of infighting was Republican Gov. Bill Haslam's initiative to create a school voucher program in Tennessee.

text: A "Cultural Fix"?: Global Citizen Educators Rethinking Sustainability into Population Control vs. Academic Freedom by Adam Baldwin 18 May 2009 post a comment Share This: "There's an actual statistic that 99% of all scientists agree that humans are exacerbating global climate change... I am totally open to varying viewpoints, but ['human-caused global climate change'] is one that's no longer a debate." -- Benjamin Kay, 5/7/09 With that viewpoint, Santa Monica High School science teacher Benjamin Kay may actually be on to something. The question is, what? On Thursday evening, May 7, 2009, Mr. Kay offered his students "Extra Credit" for accompanying him to a presentation at the Santa Monica Public Library given by Adina Abeles, Planning Director of the Center of Ocean Solutions. During the hour-long power-point lecture Mr. Kay & Ms. Abeles, while claiming to be "objective," asserted opinions to the students as scientific fact on several provocative, controversial political issues: [youtube 3sVajzK0HoE nolink] -- Does that answer the question? Mr. Kay & Co. instruct: "Go to NPR, type in 'global climate change' and listen to the last, say, 100 talks... if you want your varying viewpoints, go find the skeptics and find out who they're in bed with." A cursory Google-search of NPR finds that petard decisively hoisted by high school student Kristen Byrnes -- who now becomes Mr. Kay's "Worst Nightmare..." Kay summarily rejects all climate change skeptics in conflict with his vision by concluding: "...the people who are backing the skepticism about global climate change are all funded by the petro-chemical industry." Ms. Abeles concurs, dismissing skeptics as pawns in a: "...huge media campaign against this fact of climate change, and it really confused people in the U.S. ... whereas, in other parts of the world they're not as confused as the general public in the U.S." Kristin Byrnes, along with countless others, would no doubt strongly disagree and gladly debate those bold allegations for the students at SAMOHI. (Perhaps Mr. Kay could invite Ms. Byrnes et al. to do just that). While asserting opinion as fact in a political context can be expected, mischaracterizing the context of the broader debate (in order to inculcate personal political/religious values) is inappropriate, unethical and, in some cases, even unlawful -- especially when luring students with the promise of improved science grades. As any professional scientist should be well aware, all scientific theories -- including anthropogenic climate change (a.k.a., AGW) -- remain open to new evidence and, therefore, skeptical scientific debate, e.g., Miss Byrnes, these 700 international scientists and this NIPCC report. Mr. Kay, in the guise of Team Marine "coach," has made a practice of exploiting his SAMOHI classroom as a campaign headquarter to recruit students into helping him advocate for his pet political ("Whole Earth Wise Generation"-type) projects. Ironically, his true cause is unearthed when he leads his students to recite "Green Freak" mantras like, "Global warming is more of an ethical problem than an environmental problem." A perfect example of Mr. Kay's motives is illustrated by an actual assignment he emailed (via the District's server) to his students: Fuel Assignment (20pts): Visit http://thefuelfilm.com/videos http://thefuelfilm.com/videos> and watch each of the videos by clicking on each individual one. For each video clip, write a 2-3 sentence summary that captures the main idea and includes specific facts from both the video clip and from your general knowledge about the film. Use lined paper or reused paper for this assignment (DO NOT TYPE IT). On your paper, write down the title of each video clip and the write your summary just underneath the title. EX: "Clip 1 Title" [summary] "Clip 2 Title"[summary] "Clip 3 Title" [summary] etc.... THIS IS DUE TUESDAY, not tomorrow....you have two nights :) Good Luck and Have Fun, Mr Kay In order to receive his 20 points, Mr. Kay required his students to view and summarize not excerpts from a Marine Biology/science film but, instead, one-sided clips from an overtly political movie -- the makers of which he'd earlier in the year co-hosted as unchallenged lecturers on the SAMOHI campus for student assembly during school hours. California Education Code (e.g., Sec. 7054, 51550, 51510, 51511, 60044, 60045) as administered by SM-MUSD policy/regulations (e.g., 1330; 1165; 4040; 6144; 6161) aligns with the Academic Freedom Article XXXI in Santa Monica-Malibu Classroom Teachers Association's current contract, forbidding such practices: It is the policy of the District that all instruction shall be fair, accurate, objective, relevant to prescribed course content... Unit members may introduce relevant political, religious or other controversial material... but shall not attempt to indoctrinate students with the teacher's own personal, political or religious views. Most alarming are Kay/Abeles' pronouncements asserted under the controversial political euphemism 'Sustainability' - [also here]. In union with their "Global Citizen" belief system/creed, one of their main "solutions" to the man-caused disaster of global climate change mutates, echoing Paul Erlich's "Bomb," into the control of "population growth." As Ms. Abeles stated: "We have to be smart about how we're going to grow as a global community," and, "One big thing you can do is a lot of education for women, and the data's pretty clear that when women are more educated and understand options you have fewer children and you have children later." On the question of enforcement, Mr. Kay injects a re-education solution: "What we really need is a cultural 'fix'... so long as we have family counseling institutions and education in school, things that tell women and guys that a family of two is good, that's better for world population." Mr. Kay (who is not a parent) plants the intolerant seed in his students' captivated young minds that discrimination against larger families' extra children is profitable because he views their burden of existence on society as irresponsible and contributes to the sort of "over-consumption" that is "killing the planet." Would that standard apply with equality under the District's social justice vision statement clause to his fellow SM-MCTA members, especially John Muir Elementary School teacher Joseph Ramirez's "growing family?" Dispute or not the liberating intolerance of Kay & Abeles' "Global Citizenship"/"Sustainability" creed as you see fit, but consider: The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District is, at its highest levels, aware of the non-compliant activities of Mr. Kay, and other staff members. Is it right that the District only selectively complies with State Education Code? Is it right for the SM-MUSD administration to consider as optional the practice and enforcement of its own board of education regulations? Is that an acceptable way for our increasingly scarce public education dollars to be spent? SM-MUSD is currently embarking on a once-in-a-generation process of reviewing and updating all its policies, administrative regulations, and related exhibits. What better opportunity could arise for parents and interested members of the public to comment, craft and help implement an Academic Freedom regime to serve and protect students? Can we not all agree in policy and practice that: Our Public schools are educational institutions, not a religion, anti-religion or political party. A school District's resources and educational authority should be used to further learning and the disinterested pursuit of knowledge, not to indoctrinate students in partisan political/religious ideologies. While it is the responsibility of Parents/Guardians to inculcate the values of their individual family's creed upon their children, It is the job of public school educators to teach their students critical thinking skills, logic and reason within the intellectual parameters of their course of study - to teach them how to think, not what to think. Does that answer the question? UPDATE: Video link fixed. Adam Baldwin is a proud parent of more than two children, and has been an active and concerned member of the SM-MUSD community for more than sixteen years. His other credits include film and television work spanning thirty years.

CEDAR CITY, Utah, 10/30/13 – Forwards Carli Moreland and Lori Parkinson combined for 44 points and 25 rebounds to lead Southern Utah past visiting Dixie State in exhibition play by a score of 90-69 Wednesday night. The Thunderbirds totaled 58 points in the paint and turned 37 turnovers into 38 points to come away with the win.
"Lori and Carli were phenomenal inside," stated SUU head coach JR Payne. "We knew that we had a distinct height advantage, and that would be good for us, but they extra special. They were on the glass, they were on the perimeter defending, our bigs carried us tonight."
Dixie State held the advantage early as the Red Storm knocked down five of their first attempts from behind the arc to build a 36-23 advantage. SUU stepped up its pressure on defense from there however and finished the opening half on a 29-4 run to lead 49-40 at the break.
Southern Utah continued to pull away in the second period, extending the margin to as many as 26 points in the final minutes. 11 different SUU players saw time on the court in the exhibition matchup, nine of which recorded a basket for the T-Birds. The lead also allowed Coach Payne to give some time to the newcomers on the team.
"The great thing about the two freshmen, they came in and there was no drop," commented Payne. "They came in and continued the flow of the game and did a really nice job. It was great to get them in the game."
SUU shot nearly 43 percent from the field in the contest while hitting 4-15 attempts from 3-point territory and converting on 53.8 percent of its tries at the foul line. Dixie State went 50 percent overall from the field and 7-14 from the outside. The Thunderbirds outrebounded their opponents by a final count of 45-36.
Parkinson led the way for T-Birds with 24 points and 13 rebounds while Moreland also turned in a double-double after finishing with 20 points and 12 rebounds. Senior guard Andrea Jones added another 14 points for SUU. Dixie State also had three scorers in the double figures as Haley Holmstead scored 23 points, Kaylah Miller hit six threes on her way to 20 and Taylor Mann had 12.
"I think we have a good understanding of what we're doing, where we are supposed to be and the tempo we want to play with," explained Payne.
Southern Utah is back at home this Saturday for another exhibition match with Western State Colorado. It will be a basketball doubleheader as the SUU men's team starts things off by hosting La Verne at 5:00 p.m. followed by the contest against the Mountaineers at 7:30.

The AD7606-6 is a 16-bit, 6 channel, simultaneous sampling Analog-to-Digital Data Acquisition system (DAS). The part contains analog input clamp protection, 2nd order anti-alias filter, track and hold amplifier, 16-bit charge redistribution successive approximation ADC, flexible digital filter, 2.5V reference and reference buffer and high speed serial and parallel interfaces.
The AD7606-6 operates from a single 5V supply and can accommodate ± 10V and ±5V true bipolar input signals while sampling at throughput rates up to 200 kSPS for all channels. The input clamp protection circuitry can tolerate voltages up to ±16.5V. The single supply operation, on chip filtering and high input impedance eliminates the need for driver op-amps and external bipolar supplies. The AD7606-6 anti-alias filter has a 3 dB cut off frequency of 22 kHz and provides 40 dB anti-alias rejection when sampling at 200ksps. The flexible digital filter is pin driven, yields improvements in SNR, and reduces the 3 dB bandwidth.

Loan Shopping Tips
- Seek out a licensed/bonded mortgage broker, lending company, or authorized bank or credit union.
- Be wary of loans offered through door-to-door sales or telemarketing solicitations.
- Be wary of offers made by construction companies for loans in conjunction with construction services, make sure that they are also licensed or authorized to transact loan business.
- Be wary of lenders or brokers who guarantee loan approval regardless of your credit history or rating.
- Shop around. Interest rates and fees vary widely among lenders. Don't assume that you would not qualify for a loan from a traditional lender. Those loans are less expensive than subprime loans.
- Be suspicious of anyone who pressures you to act before you are ready.
- Verify any claims about rates, fees or your credit qualifications with another company before proceeding. Ask the loan officer to prove any claims.
- Read the entire loan application carefully before signing. Don't sign a loan form with blank spaces.
- Make sure that every oral promise is in writing. Oral promises give you no protection.
- Ask that everything be explained to you. Give the loan officer no option but to show you the documents themselves: the rate, the costs, the loan type, the length of the loan, information about prepayment penalties, the monthly payment amount, etc.
- Watch out for hidden terms, such as prepayment penalties and balloon payments.
- Ask about fees and points before applying for a loan. The interest rate is not the only important term of a loan. A loan with a low interest rate but high fees and points may cost you more than a loan with higher interest rate and lower fees.
- If you are considering a loan with a variable interest rate, make sure you understand what conditions will affect a change in your rate, and the amount by which your rate may fluctuate.
- Consult an attorney before you sign. When you feel uncomfortable have an attorney review the transaction. It won't cost much, but may save you a bundle.
- Make sure that you have received, read and understood all required disclosure documents before you close. At closing, make sure the loan terms have not changed from what you were told and that there are no additional fees that you did not know about.
- Contact a non-profit credit-counseling agency for assistance in determining whether you can afford your loan. Check with the National Foundation for Credit Counseling at 1-800-388-2227 to find a reputable local counselor.
- Make sure the lender and broker you are dealing with are licensed. Check the Washington Department of Financial Institutions Licensee Database and List.

Portsmouth Uni students get Google Apps service - ZDNet.co.ukA university has provided its students with free access to an advertising-free version of Google Apps, including webmail, online documents and calendars.
The University of Portsmouth opened the service to nearly 30,000 students in late August. So far it has around 4,300 active users, including people from China, Nepal and Nigeria, even though it is still weeks before the start of term.
The university has previously provided a webmail service, but this was used by only a fifth of students. Julian Lintell-Smith, a senior manager for the university's information services department, said the new service has been designed with input from students, so will hopefully attract more users.
The Google system provides much more capacity 7Gb for each student, compared with up to 100Mb on the old service, which will stay in place for the rest of this year to allow people to move across.
It also adds online word processing, spreadsheets, calendar, chat and site building functions.
Users can continue to use their Google accounts when they leave, but the company will introduce advertising at that point.
Lintell-Smith said the new system is more friendly, as well as having more functions. He said that, when allocating addresses for the old webmail system: "We used to provide three letters and a number, so it was quite impersonal". With the new Google Apps service, "we are using the first name and last name", followed by @myport.ac.uk, based on the university's standard port.ac.uk domain name.
Lintell-Smith added that establishing the directory has exposed data-quality issues with the university's database of student names, and is also likely to increase costs, despite some specific savings.
"We don't have to buy servers to run our existing email. When they are decommissioned, there will be a saving." But the university expects greater support costs, through providing a much greater range of online services.
Google has committed to providing the service for free and with no advertising to the university for four years, and will establish application programme interfaces allowing data to be exported if the university decides to move.
Lintell-Smith said this provides protection against Google changing the service. He added that, despite recent problems with availability of Google Apps, the company is likely to do a better job of supporting such a service than the university.
As for questions over data protection, Lintell-Smith said: "It was a big area we looked at. Google is signed up to the Safe Harbour Act." This commits a US company to comply with European data-protection standards, even when information is stored outside Europe.

Dáil Éireann - Volume 498 - 16 December, 1998
Written Answers. - Grant Payments.
Mr. Sargent Mr. Sargent
85. Mr. Sargent asked the Taoiseach the nature of the grants and grant-in-aid in relation to his Department which will come in course of payment in the year ending 31 December 1998. [28132/98]
The Taoiseach Bertie Ahern
The Taoiseach: I refer the Deputy to my recent reply in respect of grant schemes operated by my Department, Parliamentary Question No. 121 of Wednesday 2 December 1998. In addition, a token Supplementary Estimate was passed recently to approve a nominal amount, £1,000, for the initial administration costs of the millenium celebrations. However, no grants for the millenium celebrations will come in course for payment until 1999.
My Department has responsibility for two grants-in-aid, the National Economic and Social Council, NESC, and the National Economic and Social Forum, NESF. The grants-in-aid for each in respect of 1998 were £384,000 and £500,000, respectively.
In December 1997 the Government decided to reconstitute both the NESF and the NESC on a statutory basis. Legislation to give effect to this is at present with the Parliamentary Draftsman's Office and it is hoped to introduce the legislation in the new year. The grants-in-aid for 1998 covered the operating costs of the council and the forum during the year.
In addition, the Vote of my Department in 1998 contains specific financial allocations for a number of bodies under the aegis of my Department. These are as follows:
The All-Party Committee on the Constitution, £240,000;
The All-Party Committee on SMI, £50,000; The Information Society Commission, £500,000;
The National Partnership Centre, £500,000.
The McCracken and Moriarty tribunals are also funded through my Department.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (GT - 13.23) reported weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings and forecast flat full-year sales volumes before this morning's opening bell, but still managed to boast record sales amid increased prices. Bullish investors appear to be focused on the latter, as roughly 25,000 calls have crossed the tape so far, which is 15 times above the norm. More than 11,100 of these calls were exchanged at the out-of-the-money March 14 strike -- with about three-quarters of them at the ask price, pointing to buyer-fueled volume. This option currently holds peak call open interest of just 6,319 contracts, making it safe to assume that new positions are being initiated here today. By purchasing these calls to open, speculators are counting on the stock to muscle north of $14 by the time back-month options expire.
This affinity for calls over puts is business as usual for GT. The 10-day International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) call/put volume ratio stands at 2.96, confirming that calls bought to open have nearly tripled puts during the past two weeks. This ratio registers in the 67th percentile of its annual range, which means that traders have been scooping up bullish bets over bearish at an accelerated clip.
Elsewhere, the majority of analysts following the tire titan also appear to feel optimistic toward GT. According to Zacks, the stock boasts five "buy" or better recommendations, compared to just two "hold" or worse ratings.
Examining GT's technical performance, however, the equity has lost about 7% of its value year-to-date, and has underperformed the broader S&P 500 Index (SPX) by roughly 7% during the past 60 sessions. On the charts, the stock is in danger of finishing the week below support at its 20-week moving average for the first time since late November.
In the afternoon hours of the session, GT is down about 5.3% to hover at $13.23.

Pool Corporation Reports Record Results And Updates 2012 Earnings Guidance Range
Operating expenses were up 2% compared to the first nine months of 2011 due to acquired and new sales centers, with base business operating expenses declining 1%. Operating income for the first nine months of 2012 increased 11% to $155.2 million compared to $139.4 million in the same period last year. Excluding the goodwill impairment, year to date adjusted operating income increased 16% to $162.1 million.
Earnings per share for the first nine months of 2012 increased 12% to a record $1.87 per diluted share on net income of $90.0 million, compared to $1.67 per diluted share on net income of $82.1 million in the comparable 2011 period. Adjusted net income for the first nine months increased 18% to $96.9 million, while adjusted diluted EPS increased 20% to a record $2.01.
The balance sheet reflects improved working capital management with improved collections on customer accounts and higher inventory turns versus last year. Total net receivables increased 9% due primarily to the increase in net sales and higher vendor receivables, while inventory levels were up 3% including a 2% increase from recent acquisitions. Total debt outstanding at September 30, 2012 was $214.3 million, down $54.4 million compared to September 30, 2011.
Cash provided by operations was $124.5 million in the first nine months of 2012 compared to $32.0 million in the first nine months of 2011. This improvement reflects the increase in net income, favorable timing differences related to the inventory purchase and payment cycle and a benefit related to the deferral of our third quarter 2012 estimated federal tax payments. Share repurchases in the first nine months of 2012 totaled $53.3 million, or 1.5 million shares. Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the addendum to this release) was $53.0 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $45.8 million in the third quarter of 2011, and $177.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $153.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Rockstar has posted a selection of tunes from the remixed edition of the L.A. Noire soundtrack to online listening-post Soundcloud, allowing players to preview cuts by period-appropriate artists such as Gene Krupa and Ella Fitzgerald as remixed by contemporary knob-twiddlers like DJ Premier. The selection also includes original compositions from the game's soundtrack, which retain the post-war jazz feel of the title.
L.A. Noire: Remixed by RockstarGames
The original music on show includes the game's main theme and the frenetic "Hard Bop Chase" – giving you a taste of what the game's action scenes will sound like – put together by the game's composer, Andrew Hale, whose previous work includes Scott Pilgrim Vs The World and, um, Sade's backing band. Other tracks, meanwhile, are from the blue-cover remix version of the soundtrack and add a contemporary gloss to the game's hepcat-centric OST, one of the most daringly old-timey since BioShock forced Mario Lanza upon players. The Truth & Soul remix of skins-man (that's old-time talk for "drummer") Gene Krupa's "Sing! Sing! Sing!" is particularly worth a listen.
Which ones do you like best? Or are you just going to turn the music down and blast some 'Tallica when you're exploring Rockstar's L.A.?

Next Public Health Grand Rounds
Climate Change and Health – From Science to Practice
Tuesday, December 16, 2014 at 1pm EST.
Changes occurring in the world's climate pose significant threats to human health and wellbeing and will have even greater impacts in the future. These threats are wide-ranging, including decreased air quality and increases in extreme weather events, wildfire, and illnesses transmitted by water, and disease-carriers, such as mosquitoes and ticks. Although scientific understanding of the effects of climate change is still emerging, there is considerable evidence to support preparing for potential health risks.
Early public health action is essential to ensuring that systems are in place to protect people from the impacts of climate change. As the nation's public health agency, CDC is using its prevention expertise to help states and cities investigate, prepare for, and respond to the health effects of climate change.
This session of Grand Rounds will explore the wide-ranging health impact of our changing climate and discuss some of the strategies, programs and partnerships currently being used to confront the challenges associated with global climate change.

The 5'2'' Fish allows you to enjoy any type of wave, from the small and weak to big and chunky. A rounded outline allows for tight turns and for the rail to maintain contact with the wave. Fantastic upwind and early planing ability come in the bucket load thanks to its width and flat rocker. The impressive float allows you to use a kite size smaller than usual, giving you serious gains in steering and directional control.
The 5'2 is way smaller than any of us would normally ride, but as with last year's range of Bamboo boards from F-One we were blown away by the quality of the finish. This little 5'2'' is a super sexy little shape. There are no garish graphics; just an honest, plain look that's offset with a functional black and white foot-strap and pad set covering all the important areas of the board really well. There's an interesting double stepped fishy tail on it, for a tough feeling board there's barely any weight to it and the fins are quality. The foot pads aren't overly thick; thin enough to have a good contact with the board, are unobtrusive and feel remarkable. The straps do the job. You don't need a really supportive strap on a surfboard because it's nice to be able to move your feet around in it for different positions, but there's ample comfort and control and these ones are good because you can trample all over them as you gybe and they squash down nicely.
On the water... wow, this is fast. You don't expect it to be so with such width in the hips, but it really gets a wriggle on. Small boards like this are usually a bit sketchy and technical to ride, but this one goes upwind like a dream and was even easy to gybe on. As it's small it's very easy to ride in strong winds as it holds power well, but the best thing about this board is its bottom turn. When you're halfway through the turn and exerting pressure through your toes it just does the sweetest bottom turn ever, which it shouldn't have, because it's only 5'2. You should be bogging halfway round and searching for the kite to kick in some power. Once that pressure from your toes gets chance to grip, the board almost changes gear and careers you into the sweet spot on the wave. It's just lots and lots of fun and incredibly quick.
On big waves you'd need a bit more behind your back foot.
Compared to bigger boards we were aware that there wasn't much behind the back foot and did get carried away, lost grip and skipped out a bit, but spend an hour on it and you'll adjust to that nice carve at the top of a wave rather than pushing the back end out. Surfboard riders who've already adapted their style to a less powered riding technique might not be keen on the feel of this, but there are ballistic occasions when it's just the perfect tool.
This makes ordinary conditions, onshore to cross-shore, a huge amount of fun. It's an unfashionably small size, but there's plenty of getup- and-go, it's easy to ride, there's enough stability for gybing easily and, on top of all that the bottom turn is incredible. This is for kiters who ride in strong winds and untidy waves where you need to be adaptable in order to get your waves, and you need something strong, that can take the hits and heavy landings from jumps and that's also going to allow you to easily make the most of the average, bumpy, windy conditions.
KW LIKED: Rally car feeling from a wave board.
KW WOULD CHANGE: A bit more to push on at the back foot.

By Paul
Oct. 1 --Representatives from the offices of three
state attorneys general told attendees Oct. 1 at a Bellevue, Wash., convention
of the International Association of Privacy Professionals that they are not
reluctant to bring actions against companies involved in data breaches.
Moderator Divonne Smoyer, a partner at Dickstein Shapiro LLP in Washington,
framed the discussion on state attorneys general at the IAPP Privacy Academy by
saying that many people "think that the privacy action really takes place at
the federal level and the international level and they more or less give short
shrift to the states."
People see compliance with state regulations and
rules "as a matter of rote," Smoyer said. "They don't really think that states
have teeth or that they are going to enforce their laws."
Almost all
states have breach notification laws, and many have data privacy laws, Smoyer
said. She added that state attorneys general often have the authority to
enforce statutes like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act,
the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health and the
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
In introducing Vermont
Attorney General William Sorrell (D), she called him "one of the earliest AGs
and still among the few AGs that have exercised their enforcement under HIPAA
laws." Sorrell said, "We're not at all reluctant to bring an enforcement
action--(1) to serve as an example to other companies and (2) to have a
relatively equal playing field."
Paula Selis, senior counsel at the Washington State Attorney General's
Consumer Protection Division, said Washington participates in multistate data
breach litigation. "We pool our resources" by sending out subpoenas to
potential targets "and we share that information with each other," she said.
In circumstances where a company did not take enough care to protect the data,
a lawsuit might be filed, sometimes simultaneously with a consent decree, she
participates in multistate data breach litigation."
Paula Selis, Senior
Counsel, Washington State Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division
Selis said her office's work compliments the Federal Trade Commission's work.
"If the FTC is doing a good job, there may be no good reason for the states to
enter into the fray," she said. "If there are additional laws that we want to
enforce--maybe our laws give us more leverage than the FTC's laws--then we
might decide it's a case we want to get involved with."
Although there
are some "horror stories" about federal authorities getting involved with
enforcement actions at the state level, state attorneys general "are in a
pretty good spot" dealing cooperatively with both the FTC and the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau, Sorrell said.
Joanne McNabb, director of
privacy education and policy at the Office of the California Attorney General,
said that California is one of eight states that has a right to privacy
memorialized in its constitution. She said the commitment of California
Attorney General Kamala Harris (D) to protecting privacy is reflected by the
recent creation of a privacy unit staffed with five attorneys.
McNabb said Harris brought together major
mobile application platform companies to agree to strengthen privacy
notifications and protections to bring them in line with California online
privacy law . Because of Harris's discussions with those companies, McNabb
said, a consumer "has the opportunity to see the privacy policy before
downloading the app that sucks out all of the information."
Sorrell emphasized the importance of creating a collaborative working
relationship with companies. He described how his office hired an expert with
money from a "big national settlement" to attempt penetrations into corporate
computer systems. "If we find vulnerability, we'll tell the company," he said.
"We also do some training with small business on data security issues."
Washington's Selis added, "Our philosophy is we want to have a relationship
before the data breach occurs."

Gimmick or Gospel? Golfers are always looking for ways to improve their game, and a variety of new-school tees on the market are — promises of performance improvement aside — likely to intrigue your players. For example, the E-Tee, which costs about $6 each for orders of 25, has a built-in spring that lets the tee bend rather than break. The Zero Friction golf tees have four points that meet the ball, allowing, the company says, significantly less resistance than a traditional tee with a ...

I know what you are thinking – – "It all sounds great, but how much is this going to cost?"
Unfortunately, until we talk I really can't say, because there are so many variables involved.
- What are you wanting to accomplish?
- What industry are you in?
- What market are you trying to reach?
- How much competition are you facing and how strong is their marketing?
- How are you currently marketing your products or services?
- What is your advertising budget and what part of it might be better spent online?
- Where are your opportunities?
But, you at least want an idea, so here is a basic price list of our core services, which will vary depending on these variables. The more work it will take to accomplish your goals, the more we will have to charge of course, but because we devise a customized plan for you, we do offer savings when complementary services are bundled. Generally, our services are priced in the lower mid-range, with the intention of making your investment in internet marketing pay off soon and well.
