OPP: I Know He Has a STD
by Slacker And Steve
posted Nov 29 2012 3:25PM
Nicole and her boyfriend have been having unprotected relations but recently some mutual friends shared a big secret of his with her…Her boyfriend has Herpes and has never told her. Nicole wants him to tell her himself but doesn't know how to bring it up and doesn't want to let him know that his friends sold him out.
Slacker doesn't understand Nicole because she's not mad at her boyfriend for putting her health at risk. He dated a girl that informed him that she had the same STD only seconds before having relations and he is very thankful that she gave him the choice. But he says that had she not divulged the information prior to relations and he found out later, he would have gone crazy on her.
What advice do you have for her?
This just goes to show that you can never trust people unless you have seen their test results yourself. Our bodies and health are far too precious to be letting someone else ruin it, so we all need to be looking out for ourselves. USE PROTECTION! I'm really at a loss for what to say to her or about this…But she should be mad and take action.

Nicole's issue
I think Nicole should take this as a learning lesson and do what she should have done before. Take control of your own health and ask the question: Do you have any STD's? Sounds like she never even had the convo with her current boyfriend.

As you know, ANN's addition of DAILY Aero-Casts
(often known as "podcasts") to our news line-up has become a
wildly popular feature of our news programming. Adding DAILY audio
products is an unprecedented move by the Aviation World's Most
Comprehensive DAILY News Service.
Our audio staff has been in the radio business for more
than 30 years now -- they've written, produced and, of course,
heard their share of commercials over three decades. But
Aero-Casting is a new technology, especially to aviation businesses
that generally don't advertise in the mainstream media. So here's a
quick Q&A on some of the particulars you might want to know if
you want to use this exciting new medium to get your message across
to our listeners.
Well, just about anyone, come to think of it. But you might
consider who you're trying to reach. Our audience is made up of
aviation professionals, hobbyists and enthusiasts -- so if you're
trying to reach a crowd of peers, this might just be the place for
your message. But consider the demographics generally associated
with aviation fans. They have above-average educations,
above-average incomes and are very technology-minded. They're both
men and women -- slightly more men -- between 25 and 74.
If you're trying to reach an audience like that, then it really
doesn't matter whether your product is aviation-oriented -- you've
got one of the most sought-after demographics in the business right
here at Aero-News.
We offer "spots" (yeah, it's an insider term
for "commercials") of either 30- or 60-seconds in length. That's an
industry standard and, while it doesn't sound like a lot of time,
it really is more than enough to get most messages across. A
30-second spot is about two paragraphs of typewritten copy. A
60-second spot is, as you might expect, about twice that.
Here's where we can help you. I suggest the following
When you've written your commercial, run it by a friend. If your
friend "gets it," then you've probably written an effective spot.
But to be sure, find a sympathetic ear that's not attached to
someone in your organization.
Aero-News has a full staff of media professionals who are able
to hone your message until it's razor-sharp. Even if you've only
sketched out the bare essentials of your spot, our staff can work
and rework it until you've got a world-class commercial that
perfectly suits your intent.
Repetition is the key to radio (or Aero-Cast) advertising. When
you consider how to schedule your spots, remember that repeating
yourself is a good thing. Industry wisdom says, "Tell them what
you're going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told
them." In other words, a listener needs to hear your commercial at
least three times before it begins to sink in. The beauty of
Aero-Casting is that you can afford to do that much more so than
you can with general media.
Consider a mixture of audio and print advertising with
Aero-News. That way, you're reaching our entire audience.
Aero-Casting allows listeners to pick and choose exactly what
they want to hear. That means they're already inclined to receive
your message. Now, all you have to do is get it to them.
Drop me a line. I'll be happy to help. You can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Chalkboards have been around since 1801 in the United States when American instructors used them in military schools to facilitate education. However, it was only in 1820 when the term blackboard was officially coined. Chalkboards did not actually come into common usage until around 1935 where Americans began using it. Today, chalkboards can be seen being used in classrooms as well as in other places such as in cafes, bars, restaurants, or pubs. Nowadays, they are now being used by sign writers as for people who design advertising blackboards for cafes, restaurants, and pubs. Their use has also popularized chalkboard art with the invention of liquid chalks.

Chalkboards have been utilized by food and drink manufacturers to announce their latest promotions. This makes promotional blackboards ideal as a giveaway to companies in this industry. With the competition in the market becoming tougher than before, you could find yourself struggling in the face of competition. With the help of custom chalkboards, you can make potential customers aware of what your company has in store for them. Promotional chalkboards are great as a gift because they will be used on a daily basis. As a promotional product, they are more affordable than advertising on the newspaper or television.
One major advantage of customized chalkboards is that they offer a wide imprint area which makes them perfect for customizing with your corporate logo or brand name. As a promo item, they are effective because they will carry your brand. If you own a restaurant, potential customers will be seeing your logo side by side with the menu you are offering. As a promo item, these giveaway chalkboards are more affordable than advertising on newspapers and televisions. You can give these custom chalkboards as a gift to potential customers if you want to beef up your brand.
We also recommend: Personalized Cutting Boards, Personalized Cups, Personalized Cooler Bags
Printed chalkboards can help beef up your upcoming tradeshow. You will never go wrong with chalkboards with logo promoting your business. In the light of the tough competition in the industry, they can give you an affordable alternative for promoting your business. They require only a minimal investment on your part. However, the small capital can deliver instant results and considerable savings which can be diverted to the more important aspects of your business. So what are you waiting for? Call our toll free number now at 877-272-6337 to place your orders on chalkboards in bulk. So take your brand to the next level with personalized chalkboards.

X-MEN FIRST CLASS charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-Men.

Nickelodeon's Dora the Explorer
¡Hola! Dora the Explorer welcomed over fans 17,791 as she hosted a meet and greet Fourth of July weekend at the Louisville Zoo. The heat and chance of rain did not keep the little ones away from joining in on games and dancing as part of the three day entertainment. The Zoo Crew, with the help of Best Buy volunteers entertained the crowd with games and Dora music. There was also a worm dig and wind generators where the kids could learn about clean energy and vermacomposting. Best Buy also gave away several Dora DVDs as prizes while the kids waited in line to meet Dora and her pal Boots.
To complement Dora the Explorer's bilingual character, kids were given an educational scavenger hunt at the Zoo entrance. In a rhyming fashion, the scavenger led seekers to different exhibits throughout the Zoo where they would learn the Spanish translation for that animal. Letters collected from each clue on the chart provided a secret code that spelled out a mystery phrase. All children received a Zoo prize for participating. Community Bank and Scott County Bank were proud sponsors of the three day event. We appreciate all of their employees and our Zoo guests for making it an awesome holiday weekend!

The German newspaper, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, has reported that Angela Merkel's CDU party has recalled its London representative Thomas Stehling to Germany because of David Cameron's decision to withdraw from the European People's Party. A translation of the article outlines that:
"The leader of the CDU – after a long hesitation – has responded to the symbolic implications of the move by the British Conservative Party to withdraw from the European political family, the European People's Party, and form new ground with its own European Parliament grouping. The removal of the London representative of the CDU-affiliated Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Thomas Stehling, is seen as evidence that the move, which took place last month, is seen as a mistake by the [Conservative Party]."
Stehling had been the "main point of contact for CDU tours to London" and "had made preparations for meetings between Chancellor Angela Merkel and the British opposition leader Cameron." The website of the Konrad Adenaour Foundation's Great Britain Office says, "Over the years the London office has paid particular attention to Britain's role in the European unification process."
The report notes the concerns of Hans-Gert Pottering MEP, a former President of the European Parliament and Chair of the EPP-ED Group in the European Parliament since 1999. Pöttering told the FAZ that:
"the withdrawal of Stehling should be seen as 'a signal' to Cameron and his party."
In May, the Guardian reported that, "Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany appeared to threaten to withhold cooperation from the Conservatives" while Pöttering "angrily described Cameron as untrustworthy."

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT)-- It might only be November but Alzheimer's Tennessee isn't wasting any time getting ready for the 2013 Alzheimer's Walk in April.
On Wednesday, team captains joined together for a luncheon to get them ready for the big walk in April. Pat Summitt was there to help encourage the captains get their teams together and start fundraising now!
Coach Summitt was also on hand to present the first two grants from her recently formed foundation called The Pat Summitt Foundation.
"I'm very excited about warding the first two grants to Alzheimer's Tennessee and the UT Medical Center for their continued work and research to find a cure." said Coach Summitt
Both grants were $28,000 and will go to help Alzheimer's Tennessee buy a van to use within Alzheimer's community.
Last year, the Alzheimer's Walk in Knoxville brought in over $240,000 with more than 1500 walkers. This year they hope to bring in more walkers and money to raise more money than before.

Light cleaning ability enhances the gloss of genuine carnauba!
Menzerna Sealing Wax APO 60 is a liquid carnauba wax with a hint of polish to remove light compounding haze and old wax residue. The light polishing agents optimize the gloss by removing build-up and uncovering the brightest, most vibrant paint surface. Menzerna Sealing Wax APO 60 is easy to apply, effortless to clean up, and leaves a lasting layer of high gloss carnauba paint protection.
Menzerna Sealing Wax APO 60 bridges the gap between the warm carnauba shine and the easier-to-apply liquid sealants. It gives the convenience of a liquid wax and the unbeatable shine of carnauba wax. As an added benefit, a light polish enables the formula to achieve its maximum gloss by removing old wax residue and light surface haze – all in one step!
On Menzerna's scale of cut, Menzerna Sealing Wax APO 60 ranks at a 1. The polishing agents have minimal cut and finish without any micro marring or dullness. Menzerna Sealing Wax APO 60 is the perfect one step cleaner wax to maintain a finish you've restored with Menzerna polishes or to clean and protect a vehicle that is only mildly oxidized.
Menzerna Sealing Wax removes hazing and micro-marring while also providing a durable layer of wax protection.
Menzerna Sealing Wax APO 60 is simple to apply either by hand or with a polisher. The liquid formula glides on and instantly removes dullness and restores a flawless shine.
A layer of carnauba will protect and preserve the stunning finish for 2-3 months, or 6-10 washes.
Menzerna Sealing Wax APO 60 complements the Menzerna line of polishes. On weathered finishes, use APO 60 immediately after
Intensive Polish
to remove any light hazing. On like-new finishes, use APO 60 alone to remove the first signs of oxidation and to protect the paint.
Layer another coat of a non-cleaning carnauba wax on top of Menzerna Sealing Wax APO 60 if desired. Additional carnauba will only deepen the gloss and reflection.
Menzerna Sealing Wax APO 60 leaves no white, chalky residue. Use it on all types and colors of paint for a beautiful, high gloss finish.
Application by hand:
Mist the Wolfgang German Polish N Wax Applicator with XMT Pad Conditioner to moisten the foam. Apply a nickel size amount of Menzerna Sealing Wax to the applicator.
Wipe the wax in a thin coat over one section at a time. Allow a haze to form.
Buff with a
Cobra Microfiber Towel
until you've achieved a smooth, glossy finish.
Application by Machine:
Make sure the surface to be waxed is clean and dry. Apply Sealing Wax APO 60 out of direct sunlight.
Use a soft foam finishing pad, like
Lake Country's CCS Green Pad
or the
White Ultrafine Polishing Pad by The Edge
. Apply a 6 inch line of wax to the vehicle. With the polisher turned off, spread the wax over about a 2 x 2 sq. ft. area.
Polish at 1200-1800 RPM (3000-4000 OPM on a dual action polisher) working slowly across and then up and down the area.

Review for Lucky Charm Shirt-Small-SOLD OUT
May 8, 2013
This shirt is very soft and fits nicely. The only possible downside is feeling out-of-season if I wear it any other time than March. It is a good quality (little thin, so wear a neutral-colored bra) and has a great length at the bottom to cover your pants, so you aren't selling crack when you bend over.

Memorial Day, for a father whose son was killed in Iraq
Andrew J. Bacevich, Los Angeles Times
To many, it's the start of summer or a day off from work. But as American wars come and go, more families experience Memorial Day in a deeper and more tragic way.
Where I grew up in the Midwest during the 1950s and early '60s, Memorial Day was no more about remembering the nation's war dead than Labor Day was about honoring working stiffs. It was a "free day." Falling on a Monday, Memorial Day made possible that great innovation, "the long weekend." As a family, we gathered in backyards for barbecues and to celebrate the informal beginning of summer. We did not gather in cemeteries to pay homage.
During my years as a serving soldier, Memorial Day connoted something quite different: It meant no scheduled training. It no longer implied a "free day," however. In the outfits where I served, holidays were the days we officers wore civvies to work, trying to catch up on everything left undone (usually paperwork) during the duty week. In retrospect it seems odd and more than a little embarrassing: Girding ourselves to fight the Red hordes, we Cold Warriors could spare no time to contemplate the sacrifices made by the real warriors who had preceded us.
Three years ago this month, my son was killed while serving in Iraq. His death changed many things, among them my own hitherto casual attitude toward Memorial Day.
Here in New England, where we now make our home, deejays and local news anchors still proclaim Memorial Day weekend the unofficial start of summer, as if unearthing some fresh discovery. Folks with cottages to open up take to the highways, pushing through traffic toward seashore or mountains. Our trek will be considerably shorter and simpler: We will make the five-minute drive to our son's gravesite.
For us, personal loss has rendered the last Monday in May into the day of remembrance that it was originally intended to be. Yet loss has also invested Memorial Day with political significance, posing uncomfortable questions.
The fallen gave their lives so we might enjoy freedom: However comforting, this commonplace assertion qualifies at best as a half-truth. Who can doubt that the soldier killed in battle at Gettysburg or on Omaha Beach died while advancing the cause of liberty? Whether one can say the same about the Americans who lost their lives assaulting Mexico City in 1847, suppressing Filipino demands for independence after 1898 or chasing rebels in 1920s Nicaragua is less clear, however.
In recent decades especially, the connection between American military intervention and American freedom has become ever more tenuous. Meanwhile, competence has proved notably hard to come by. Rather than being a one-off event, Vietnam inaugurated an era in which the United States has routinely misunderstood and repeatedly misused military power. Even as political authorities sent U. S. forces into action with ever greater frequency, decisive results — what we used to call victory — became more elusive. From Beirut and Bosnia to Iraq and Somalia, the troops served and sacrificed while expending huge sums of taxpayer money. How their exertions were helping to keep Americans free became increasingly difficult to discern.
The ongoing conflict in Afghanistan, already the longest shooting war in U.S. history, embodies these trends. Just about no one, from the senior field commander on down, considers the war there winnable in any meaningful sense. Arguments for perpetuating the U.S. military commitment resemble those once offered to justify Vietnam: We can't afford to look weak; American credibility is on the line.
How exactly did we get ourselves in such a fix, engaged in never-ending wars that we cannot win and cannot afford? Is the ineptitude of our generals the problem? Or is it the folly of our elected rulers? Or could it perhaps be our own lazy inattention? Rather than contemplating the reality of what American wars, past or present, have wrought, we choose to look away, preferring the beach, the ballgame and the prospect of another summer.
So while politicians promise peace and Congress ponies up the money for war, the troops head back for yet another combat tour. And more American families will be given the opportunity to experience Memorial Day in ways they never expected.
Andrew J. Bacevich is a professor of history and international relations at Boston University. His new book, "Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War," will be out this summer.

Research & Scholarship
Current Research and Scholarly Interests
Our lab studies the mechanisms by which cells and organisms respond to genetic change.
The genetic landscape faced by a living cell is constantly changing. Developmental transitions, environmental shifts, and pathogenic invasions lend a dynamic character to both the genome and its activity pattern.We study a variety of natural mechanisms that are utilized by cells adapting to genetic change. These include mechanisms activated during normal development and systems for detecting and responding to foreign or unwanted genetic activity. At the root of these studies are questions of how a cell can distinguish "self" versus "nonself" and "wanted" versus "unwanted" gene expression.
We primarily make use of the nematode C. elegans in our experimental studies. C. elegans is small, easily cultured, and can readily be made to accept foreign DNA or RNA. The results of such experiments have outlined a number of concerted responses that recognize (and in most cases work to silence) the foreign nucleic acid. One such mechanism ("RNAi") responds to double stranded character in RNA: either as introduced experimentally into the organism or as produced from foreign DNA that has not undergone selection to avoid a dsRNA response. Much of the current effort in the lab is directed toward a molecular understanding of the RNAi machinery and its roles in the cell. RNAi is not the only cellular defense against unwanted nucleic acid, and substantial current effort in the lab is also directed at identification of other triggers and mechanisms used in recognition and response to foreign information.

Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nail Yakupov meet as foes when Canada faces Russia at world juniors
Back in Edmonton, 13 time zones away from the intriguing subplot, Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini was preparing to flick on the television to watch the show unfold.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Canada's poised, proficient captain, was about to lead out his team to one side of the ice at Ufa Arena, while Nail Yakupov, the mercurial captain of Russia, was going to be setting up shop on the other.
The two first-round picks of the Oilers have never skated together or played against each other leading up to the showdown between Canada and Russia at the world junior hockey championship. The two undefeated teams in Pool B face off Monday to decide which team would secure the top playoff seed.
"Can't wait," said Tambellini.
UFA, Russia – The trip would have been quicker, had he flown west instead of east, but no matter. Simon Mason-Wood, who travelled from Dawson City to Ufa, was not about to quibble about a few thousand kilometres after spending several thousand dollars to get to the world juniors.
Mason-Wood is one of 106 Canadians representing virtually every point from the Vancouver to Newfoundland, who signed up for a trip to the championship with Destiny Tours, a Guelph, Ont.-based company that puts on annual trips to the event. This is one of the smaller groups the company has taken, but it's also one of the more expensive destinations.
Canadian fans shelled out anywhere from $5,300 to $7,400, with some travelling to St. Petersburg and Moscow before they made their way to Ufa.
"It's a trip of a lifetime," said Mason-Wood.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime trip for me," said Nolan Crouse, the mayor of St. Albert, Alta., who made the trip here while his wife headed to New Zealand. "The biggest thing for me is the spirit of the event, which one should expect to some degree, except I think people from my generation probably look at the Soviet Union with a different set of eyes. What we're seeing is a spirit of youth and a spirit of everything that has changed."
John Carroll, the vice-president of Destiny, has already hammered out the details for the Sweden excursion next year. He expects to take over 600 people to Malmo.
It won't be the same experience.
Ufa, which has a population of just over a million, is not a tourist destination. There's not a lot of English spoken, there are some cultural differences, but the crowd of Canadian tourists has been embraced. They have posed for pictures, been asked for autographs, and they've had volunteer translators travel with them.
Fourteen members of the group will play a hockey game against a local team later this week.
"I now have an idea of how The Beatles felt because everywhere we go, people want pictures with us," said Carroll. "We even have our own security detail at our hotel. One of our guys came to my room yesterday and said I'm not going home.
"We've had a couple of people say there were defecting from Canada to Russia. Otherwise, we have to go home and back to regular lives."
Robert Bernhardt, who along with his son Travis, and wife and daughter, made the trip from Prince Rupert, B.C. They left on Dec. 19 and spent Christmas Day touring the Kremlin and the Red Square in Moscow.
Everyone will charter back to Germany on Jan. 6 then head off their separate ways.
"We have another week in us," said Tracey Cyca of Edmonton. "We're going to cheer (Team Canada) all the way to the end."
This is a once-in-a-lifetime trip for me
Alex Wallace, of Toronto, was in the concession area, wishing he had brought more film with him for his camera. He hasn't yet moved into the digital era but he has travelled extensively to international hockey tournaments, including the 1972 Summit Series. He returned to Russia in 1974 and 1986 but hasn't been back since.
"Bob, over there, is from Hamilton. I remember him from the Czech Republic," he said. "I've flown 15 times overseas. I am crazy that way. But I'm a hockey fan and I like to travel. It's the ideal situation."

Tax Administration:
IRS' Efforts to Serve Small Business Taxpayers
T-GGD-00-138: Published: May 23, 2000. Publicly Released: May 23, 2000.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-5594
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed the factors that complicate small businesses' efforts to comply with the tax laws and the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) efforts to provide better service to small businesses and self-employed taxpayers.
GAO noted that: (1) several factors have complicated the interactions between small businesses and IRS; (2) small businesses are more likely than other taxpayers to have compliance problems, which is not surprising given the complex tax issues and requirements that a small business can face and the fact that small businesses do not always have the kind of resources needed to understand and deal with those issues and requirements; (3) IRS' organizational structure and its focus on correction rather than prevention have hampered its ability to meet the needs of small businesses; (4) small businesses are often reluctant to seek help from IRS, which could be due in part to past negative experiences; (5) although IRS' plans for Small Business and Self-Employed Operating Division address these complicating factors, such things as the diversity of the small business population, IRS' antiquated computer systems, a shortage of staff with needed skills, and the need for an integrated performance management system will challenge IRS as it implements those plans; (6) one aspect of performance management involves development of an appropriate set of performance measures, and one important measure is compliance burden; (7) IRS is pursuing a multi-phased approach in developing new methods for estimating that burden; (8) with the help of a contractor, IRS is developing models that, when compared with IRS' current methodology, are designed to produce more comprehensive estimates of federal income tax compliance burdens and to provide IRS with a greater capacity to analyze the impact of tax law and administrative changes on those burdens; and (9) however, as with all models, the specific capabilities and precision of the new models will depend on the quality of the underlying data.

For B2B publishers like Sift Media, a focus on online communities is not only a way to build and maintain an audience - it can also be a way to monetise it.
Sift reaches 500,000 business users in the UK across its portfolio of web properties, including AccountingWeb.co.uk, myCustomer.com and the hugely popular UK Business Forums - which attracts 400,000 unique users from the SMB sector each month alone.
Its business model is still primarily based on ads served against content. But over the last 12 months Sift has been giving firms the opportunity to sponsor community threads and forums on its sites.
IBM has got involved by sponsoring a thread on user experience on the firm's mycustomer.com site - which is aimed at marketing professionals - and Microsoft sponsors a UK startup clinic on UK Business Forums. So far the Microsoft sponsorship has generated 56 threads, 356 posts made and more than 20,000 views.
Sift managing director Tom Dunkerley told TheMediaBriefing how the process works: "The idea is they own the topic on social. We then seed that traffic in to a hub or a site, that enables further content and discussion to take place.
"We seed articles and seed to the community threads over a period of say four to six weeks, which supports those arguments, builds debate and builds further social interaction. That has been pretty successful."
Dunkerley says the idea is to create a trusted dialogue between Sift's members and their clients. That isn't always an easy task and Sift has learnt from experience about what works and what is likely to backfire:
-Lay down some ground rules: Be clear with your clients about what to expect, says Dunkerley: "The client needs to be really well briefed about the expectation of the contract they are going into us with. If you are involving them in a community we need to set out some clear ground rules from the start about how that is going to work."
-Don't try to exclude other brands: Because clients are sponsoring a forum where the key draw is discussion, you can't exclude other brands - and for sites like the UK business forums which host many small businesses with their own products, it's especially important to accept competing stories.
-Don't be too intrusive: Online communities don't like having a brand stuffed down their face. "We've had whole threads start up around the intrusiveness and that's had a detrimental affect on brand ", says Dunkerley.
-Get dedication from clients: Sift has found that the most effective sponsorships are those where a client is prepared to dedicate a member of staff to engaging with the forums to create and maintain conversations.
Beyond sponsorship
Dunkerley says Sift Media aims to know more about its audience than any other publisher - which is a pretty lofty goal. Whether it succeeds or not, that focus means Sift is gathering a lot of information from interaction within its communities that can feed into marketing systems. The plan is to push that information - gathered through Sift's Drupal CMS system - into CRM platform Sales Force, allowing Sift to offer far more detailed marketing information to their clients.
Another approach Sift is considering, which has the advantage of delivering a recurring revenue stream not dependent on the ad market, involves selling add-on marketing services to members of the community that are already using Sift's communities as a platform to sell their services.
Dunkerley says: "In the SMB community you have a quite considerable number of guys that use UK business forums to sell their expertise, their thought leadership, and their products and services.
"What we need to do as publishers is to provide [paid for] products and services that enable those individuals to promote themselves in the right way to the rest of the community and give them an uplift on their existing presence.
"Advertising and online activity is being squeezed left right and centre, and every publisher will want a some kind of recurring revenue in coming years. We see these community based initiatives as a key part of that and if by 2015 it is not 25 percent of our revenue then I will be disappointed."

Chicago indie rock band The Sea & Cake, handout 2007.
Article Extras
Related Stories
Updated: January 24, 2013 6:18AM
The year saw dozens of great records by Chicago artists, from local indies to big household names. Here are my picks for the cream of 2012's bumper crop:
1. Sea & Cake, "Runner" (Thrill Jockey)
Chicago isn't primarily a blues town anymore, and the veteran indie-pop band the Sea & Cake cook up the city's 21st Century sounds into a unique pop sound that's crisp, clean, humble, utterly modern. The group's ninth full-length is another collection of supple grooves, subtle electronics, guitar artistry and singer Sam Prekop's long, sweet sighs.
2. Kids These Days, "Traphouse Rock" (Kids These Days)
The Chicago-based collective plays a rainbow stylistic palette mixing together funk, alt-rock, pop, jazz, hip-hop, blues, and that doesn't even start with the subgenres. The songcraft of "Traphouse Rock" is inventive and original, crammed with infectious joy and crackling energy.
3. Lurrie Bell, "The Devil Ain't Got No Music" (Aria B.G.)
Late in his life and career, Lurrie Bell (son of harp master Carey Bell) made the record he was born to make. The Chicago guitarist focuses on acoustic for a salvation-and-sin cocktail made all the more haunting by spare production from fellow bluesman Matthew Skoller. Spiritual, searching and superb.
4. Willis Earl Beal, "Acousmatic Sorcery" (Hot Charity/XL)
An eccentric surprise, this mysterious set of home-recorded curios brims with alternating soulful and folkie flourishes, full of ragged beauty. Beal's voice — showcased as a range-spanning marvel in his wild performances — is held in check during these lo-fi, delicate creations, offered publicly but seeming embarrassingly intimate.
5. Smashing Pumpkins, "Oceania" (Martha's)
Billy Corgan had a busy year — grinding out reissues of the Pumpkins catalog, corralling his local pro wrestling team, opening a tea shop in Highland Park — and in the middle of it all he managed to drop one of the best albums to wear his band's moniker. A baker's dozen of songs amid his planned 44-track "Teargarden by Kaleidyscope" cycle, "Oceania" is the first cohesive statement from the Pumpkins' young lineup and a beautiful albeit punishing rock record.
6. Shoes, "Ignition" (Black Vinyl)
The Zion, Ill., group's first album in 18 years sounds like no time has passed at all. Full of tuneful, harmonized, guitar-driven power-pop, "Ignition" again fires the band's melodious imagination atop the bonfire of their Beatlesque influences.
7. The Congregation, "Right Now Everything" (The Congregation)
A formidable set filled with churchy soul and jazzy rock, this eight-piece ensemble's debut arrives in the wake of buzz surrounding some other old-school contemporaries, Alabama Shakes. The Congregation is something more wily, more nimble, applying gospel grooves as easily as slinky sugar-daddy lovin'.
8. Birds of Chicago, "Birds of Chicago" (BOC)
A duo of JT Nero (as in JT & the Clouds) and Allison Russell (Po' Girl) spotlights organic harmonies and wistful affections for the wide variety of music under the auspices of Americana. The braiding of their singular voices is magical on this woody, groove-laden debut.
9. Kelly Hogan, "I Like to Keep Myself in Pain" (Anti)
Longtime local fixture and collaborator (Neko Case, Jon Langford, Mavis Staples) Kelly Hogan applies her restrained, bedrock alt-country voice to top-drawer material penned by Robyn Hitchcock, Stephin Merritt, John Wesley Harding, Robbie Fulks and more. This fourth album is a shining convergence of talent.
10. Lupe Fiasco, "Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album, Pt. 1" (Atlantic)
Always ready with an opinion, Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco again manages to bear the yoke of major-label demands and push through a shimmering hip-hop album full of bold statements, easy flow and pop hooks.

6-APDB, or 6-(2-Aminopropyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (6-APDB, 4-Desoxy-MDA, EMA-3), is known as a stimulant similar to amphetamine and MDMA.Like many in this class of chemical, 6-APDB acts as a reuptake inhibitor of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Animal testing has shown that 6-APDB can directly replace MMAI and MBDB but is not identical enough to amphetamine to be a suitable replacement. It is however, regarded as having amphetamine -like effects.
6-APDB is seemingly popular as a replacement for the illegal drugs MDMA and amphetamine. That alone makes it essential for researchers to fully test and understand the ramifications of long and short-term use and isolate differences in research samples and reference sources.
Researchers wanting to buy 6-APDB online should always check their source and verify purity using a reference sample before committing to research. There are many providers of cheap 6-APDB, so choice is not an issue.
The existence of a similar chemical, 6-APB on the market is also cause for more research into 6-APDB. While chemically different, they are often interchanged by recreational users.
Buying 6-APDB online allows researchers to fully control the source of the research chemical and the amounts in which is comes. As with any research chemical, the purity of the chemical will make or break the research. Researchers looking to buy 6-APDB should check for purity and transparency regarding the contents and ratio of 6-APDB in the product.
Research into reuptake inhibitors and 6-APDB in particular is a growing area and we think the quality and purity of cheap 6-APDB will grow alongside demand. Choose your 6-APDB supplier carefully to ensure purity and the viability of any results.
With the prevalence of 6-APDB, UK researchers can effectively acquire enough for present and future research. That research is essential to allow us to fully understand the chemical, its use and its effects for our future knowledge and wellbeing.
