Medivation Bulls Are Back for More
By David Russell, reporter at OptionMonster
NEW YORK -- Medivation (MDVN) has already made a big move but the bulls are looking for more.
Back on May 29, OptionMonster's trade scanners detected buying in the July 50 calls for $3.50. The investor rolled a long position in those contracts Monday, selling 2,250 contracts for $5.25 and buying an equal number of August 55 calls for $5.85.
Calls lock in the price where shares can be purchased in the drug developer, letting investors cheaply position for a move higher. Adjusting the trade cost 60 cents and gave him or her an additional month of upside exposure.The stock jumped 5.77% to $52.04 Monday and is up 11% in the last week. It rose more than 400% between November 2011 and October 2012 but has been drifting mostly sideways since then. The recent activity suggests that further gains are expected soon. Calls accounted for more than 70% of volume, so the session's overall tone was definitely bullish. More than 8,000 contracts traded Monday, compared with the daily average of 1,200. Russell has no positions in MDVN.

Consumer is a dirty word
For a long time I've hated the word 'consumer'. It has very little to do with marketing, let alone delighting people who give you their custom. After a recent tweet about it – I was asked by Marketing Magazine to write an article about it.
Click here to read the article I wrote about it. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this dirty word.
2 Responses
Consumer = user not = person
I like to think of people, customers and members in terms of Smart Energy Groups – because that's what they are!

General strange crash bug
Hi guys,
i have a big and misterious issue here. I got a new laptop, an LG A550, with an i5 and Geforce 640M two weeks ago.
things were running ok until yesterday, i was playing online and suddenly the flash game crashed. i thought it was a flash player problem, so i updated it, and problems began:
- not only stills with the game not loading, but also i had most web pages not loading properly.
they takes several minutes to load and when it happens it shows an text only creepy version of it.
- that happens to facebook, netvibes, tumblr and kongragate (three that i use daily), but google, yahoo, youtube and this forum works ok...
- also noticed that bug makes me not be able to download plugin updates nor download some new softwares..
I got mad and tried system restore.
All attempts failed.
Finally i tried to restore the whole system to factory conditions, to get rid of ALL softwares i had installed in this two weeks. when completed, guess what... the issue CONTINUES!
what should i do now?
could be a problem with the files at the D partition?
a hardware problem?
or some rare hard time register bug?
please help me on that!!!

The ballroom bid farewell to "Psycho" Mike Catherwood on Tuesday night's Dancing With the Stars, thus setting him up for a lifetime of Dance Center appearances. (I'm guessing.) Mike can now count himself, along with Kenny Mayne and David Hasselhoff, as part of "the Mount Rushmore of terrible dancers." Tom got a huge belly laugh at that one. Loved it. Mike's exit was super classy (until he started dancing again, of course), and I liked how he made Lacey wait for her inevitable, sweeter-than-expected praise. "Lacey's a beautiful person on the outside, but she is even more beautiful on the inside," he gushed. Well, duh -- he had to be around her crazy two-toned hair for the past five weeks. Imagine!
Mike knew it was coming: He wasn't a dancer and didn't have a great fan base. After Monday night's jive with Lacey, Mike told EW he wasn't losing any sleep over the dancing portion of this waking nightmare we call life. "I was losing sleep because my dogs got in a fight, so that sucked," he said. "But all things considered, I was pretty serene." Sounds like it. Also in the bottom three: Sugar Ray Leonard and Anna "always wants it one more time" Tre-BUN-skaya, and Wendy Williams and her professional partner Sparkletooth. These were the bottom three, but Sugar Ray wasn't necessarily in the bottom two, said our fearless hosts. Whatever, dudes.
Lo and behold, last night we were introduced to...the six people we're going to sacrifice to Apollo this year! Just kidding: They're the DWTS Troupe. Or "THE TROUPE," according to what was emblazoned on the ballroom floor in the graphics package. Clearly these kids are the next generation of the ballroom. They are just one among many reasons why Dancing With the Stars is a lot like both Degrassi and Star Trek. But that sounds like a slacker college student's senior thesis, and this is a mere lowly TV recap. Here they are:
My initial reaction to any of the rarely named faker bakers who have performed during the Tuesday results shows has usually been along the lines of Agggggghhh! Imposters! But I suppose I can welcome these terrifyingly good-looking decoys into the tightly packed stable of Our Pros. I mean, they did have their own little intros and everything. We already knew Peta. Ted and Nicole are brother and sister, and she promises that "when you put that many talented dancers together, sparks will fly." So I'm a bit confused. Is this a competition? Gross, if so. Either way, my early faves of The Troupe are, of course, the ones with the heaviest accents. Irishman Tristan is a joker and has a voice that lilts when he says "light-hearted." Can we just get married right now?! Oksana, meanwhile, just oozes sex along with her slurry words. She "may be coming in a small package," but don't count her out!
NEXT: Chris Brown provides a way for ABC/Disney to remind us about TRON.

The Major Benefits of Befriending Your Man's Ex
Posted by By Tracy at 22 June, at 12 : 58 PM Print
No one likes to be reminded that once upon a time your lover-to-date was tonguing down, feeling up and nuzzling along a navel not belonging to you. Oh, and loving that woman. Hard. That forever-and-ever-I-love-everything-about-you hard. The thought, if lingered on enough, can definitely chafe your ego and drizzle poison onto your relationship. But the word exgirlfriend shouldn't be synonymous with the word enemy. To me, that'll only put you in attack mode, butch girl. Why? Because our personal joy isn't dependent on what does and doesn't happen in our life, but the MEANING we douse those circumstances in. Which then gives our nervous system an association (of our choice) to always lean on. Stay woke.
Now on to some pop culture references… it appears that Breezy's PYT, Karrueche is handling her man's exfactors well. A couple weeks back she was snapped chillin one-on-one with Chris' former model bang, Draya Michele and some days later K tweeted "kill em with kindness" after it was rumored that she had CB cop Rihanna a bottle when they happened to be at the same club together. All smart moves to me and so smart that they kindled a list I think every girl can learn from. You may think there's absolutely no reason to be cool with your dude's past tryster, but that's where you're wrong! Check the benefits of this seemingly bad idea.
Benefit #1: You'll Feel Much More Comfier With Their Platonic Friendship
Notice how the word platonic wasn't robed in quotation marks. Taking the time to get to know 'ol girl (beyond your habit of light Facebook stalking of course), should tame any leftover queasiness you have regarding her agenda. This is about shifting your perspective so that she becomes a person and not a person who smanged your boyfriend. Plusss, playing nice will serve as a sweet and subtle reminder to her that YOU own the lever to this man's dick. Sorry, ex girl.
Benefit #2: You'll Score Dope Girl Points From Your Man
And they will be redeemable for wonderful treasures like elongated cunnilingus and such. Not to mention, a heartier grasp of trust. Most men are expecting bouts of awkward silence between a former and a current, so if you manage not to channel Issa Rae at a meet and greet, he'll never forget it.
Benefit #3: She Can Give You Better Insight Into Him
For some strange reason I always felt a kinship with my high school lover's ex-girlfriend. Real weird. He shared some tales about her that made me chuckle and when I saw her photo, chick just looked like someone I rolled with. Since he claimed to speak highly of me to her, I decided to just shoot her a Facebook message saying hi. And from there we got chummy and she actually became the best of all confidantes when my relationship began to wilt. Why? Because she's been there, done that. I'm not suggesting to introduce yourself than run down your twenty-one questions, BUT if you do feel a genuine connection to homegirl, consider honing it and cashing in when the going gets tough.
Benefit #4: Makes Planning A Threesome Way Easier!
Hey, at least he'd know how to please you both #atthesamedamntime. Just kidding, don't ever do this unless you're a professional polyamorist.
Feeling better now, eh? I triple dog dare ya ass to tell me why this is still a bad idea!
Until then, thank me later kids,

So cute! Loved this… #4… iDied! lolll
I loved your list! You opened my eyes because before reading this I just thought Karrueche was a fool who just didn't know how to put her foot down.
I do, in fact, still think she's foolish, but for staying with someone who clearly has too much unfinished business elsewhere. It's different to be friends with her, but you're getting into intense fights in the club about her… say what now? No deals!
I completely agree! He was fighting over her! If I was Karrueche, I would be so annoyed with him but I feel like since Chris is the 'famous' one, she has like no control over her relationship smh…she probably doesn't want to risk losing him. Even the "girl, I been missing that body" on the birthday cake song was inappropriate! I hope she has talked to him about how inappropriate his behavior is and how stupid he is making her look.
I think your right, Karrueche is on to something. She is making herself seem like the ideal, relaxed girlfriend by befriending Chris Brown's exes. I also think its always good to try to be cordial with them but its a difficult situation because they may try take your man, especially in Karrueche's place.
Hell no!

Melky Cabrera unlikely to play again this season
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera is unlikely to return to the Blue Jays lineup this season.
According to MLB.com, Cabrera hasn't played since August 1 against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and is dealing with an issue with the meniscus in his left knee. The injury requires rest and not surgery.
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons is unsure of Cabrera's return but doubts he will be back. "I don't know that for sure, but probably not," Gibbons said.
According to Sportsnet Canada, Cabrera spent time on the disabled list earlier this season with left knee tendinitis earlier in the summer, and has battled leg soreness for much of the season.
Cabrera played in 88 games this season and batted .279 with three home runs. He struggled in the outfield and could't cover a lot of ground due to the issues with his knee.
Cabrera,29, signed a two year,$16 million contract last offseason with the Blue Jays and is due $8 million next season in the final year of the deal.

THURSDAY, May 15, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Older people who have migraines may be twice as likely to have "silent strokes," according to a new study.
Silent strokes are symptomless brain injuries caused by a blood clot that disrupts blood flow to the brain. Researchers cautioned that these brain injuries are a risk factor for future strokes.
"I do not believe migraine sufferers should worry, as the risk of ischemic stroke in people with migraine is considered small," the study's lead author, Dr. Teshamae Monteith, said in a news release from the American Heart Association. Monteith is an assistant professor of clinical neurology and chief of the headache division at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
"However, those with migraine and vascular risk factors may want to pay even greater attention to lifestyle changes that can reduce stroke risk, such as exercising and eating a low-fat diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables," noted Monteith.
The study, published online May 15 in the journal Stroke, involved a multi-ethnic group of older people in New York City. Just over 100 of the study participants had a history of migraines and nearly 450 didn't experience migraines.
Of these adults, 41 percent were men with an average age of 71 years. Because Hispanics and blacks are at greater risk for stroke, the researchers noted that roughly 65 percent of the participants were Hispanic.
Using MRI scans, the researchers compared the brains of those with migraine and those without. Even after taking other risk factors for stroke into account, the evidence showed there were twice as many silent strokes among the participants with migraines.
This risk of silent stroke was increased both in people who had migraines with auras (or changes in vision), and those who had migraines without visual symptoms, according to the study.
Although previous research has linked migraine with abnormalities in the small blood vessels in the brain, the current study didn't find an increase in blood vessel changes.
The study authors noted that their findings suggest treating migraines might help lower the risk of stroke.
"We still don't know if treatment for migraines will have an impact on stroke risk reduction, but it may be a good idea to seek treatment from a migraine specialist if your headaches are out of control," said Monteith.
While the current study found an association between migraine and stroke, it wasn't designed to prove that migraines cause stroke. The researchers also pointed out that more studies are needed to confirm their findings.
More information
The U.S. National Library of Medicine has more about migraine.

I have been schooled
… in the matter of prematurely declaring anything the "Most X Ever." Because something else will surely come along that's even X-ier, sometimes sooner than you think. You liked Igor, the coroner's assistant? Check out the Demon Sheep!
(Also, do watch Rachel Maddow's commentary. She's so much more polite than I am — I can think of a lot of ways to pronounce the acronym "FCINO" besides the refined "fa-SEE-no" that she chose!)

As a theater person yourself, you'll appreciate this–I was chatting with an old friend who is now a theater professor, and we're thinking about collaborating on a paper on horror-movie motifs in political advertising! (Don't forget that anti-gay-marriage "Gathering Storm" ad, too–and for that matter, Hillary Clinton's "3 am phone call.")

PNCA News
PNCA Announces Co-Chairs of MA in Critical Theory + Creative Research
Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) welcomes Anne Marie Oliver and Barry Sanders as co-chairs of the MA in Critical Theory + Creative Research (CT+CR). Oliver is currently Assistant Professor of Intermedia and Contemporary Theory at PNCA and Research Scholar in Global and International Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Professor Sanders has been PNCA's Writer-in-Residence since 2009. Between them, Oliver and Sanders bring a combined 60+ years of iconoclastic research, writing, and teaching to the program.
Oregon Arts Commission Awards Faculty and Alumni over $10,000
The Oregon Arts Commission, in conjunction with the Ford Family Foundation, has awarded several PNCA faculty and alumni over $10,000 in competitive Career Opportunity grants. These awards provide support to individual artists who seek to take advantage of important opportunities to advance their careers through the development of artistic, business or professional skills. The grant recipients include Carl Diehl, Sarah Farahat '09, M.K. Guth, Laura Hughes MFA '10, and Jessica Orlowski.
The Oregon Arts Commission was established in 1967 to foster the arts in Oregon and ensure their excellence. Nine Commissioners, appointed by the Governor, determine policies, establish long-range plans, and review applications to grants programs to determine funding levels. Funding for the Commission and its programs is provided by the state of Oregon, the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, which believes a great nation deserves great art and with a cultural partner grant from the Oregon Cultural Trust.
Here are descriptions of each recipient's project:
Carl Diehl (Faculty), media artist, $652
To support Diehl's participation in the &Now Conference, a festival which brings together artists in a variety of disciplines to see how the artists can work together and develop new work. Diehl has been invited to present his performance work to the participants in this festival. www.carldiehl.com
Sarah Farahat (Intermedia '09), Portland, media artist $1,500
To support Farahat's living expenses while participating in the Home Workspace Program, an 11‐month independent arts residency program in Beirut, Lebanon. The experience will expose Farahat to a year‐long intensive art dialogue and enable her to devote full time work toward a major exhibition.
M. K. Guth (Faculty), Portland, sculptor/installation artist, $1,500, The Ford Family Foundation, $3,760
To support the material costs associated with an invited public residency at The Cosmopolitan, in Las Vegas, administered by The Art Production Fund in New York. Guth will travel to Las Vegas, with assistants to complete and install a site‐specific work. Additional Ford Family Foundation funds will support the costs of professional documentation of her work, travel and assistant expenses for the project.
Laura Hughes (Visual Studies '10 and Faculty), visual artist, $1,455
To support Hughes' solo exhibition at the University of Oregon White Box Gallery in Portland, providing broader exposure to the arts community. Hughes is preparing an architecturally‐oriented installation, which will highlight her skill incorporating light and space into a dynamic vision. http://www.laurahughesstudio.com/index.html
Jessica Orlowski (CE Instructor), Hillsboro, sculptor, $1,500
To support costs associated with a solo exhibition of Orlowski's ceramic sculpture at the Harry Krug Gallery at Pittsburg State University in Kansas. An artist talk will increase the impact of the opportunity, allowing her to more fully develop contacts outside this region.
Natalia Allen lectures at the Bison Building
The MFA in Applied Craft and Design hosts designer and surf enthusiast Natalia Allen for a lecture for the 2011-2012 Graduate Visiting Artist Lecture Series.
Natalia Allen brings her enthusiasm for surfing to entrepreneurship, combining green and tech to create innovative styles using environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing processes. In 2005, she founded the influential and fast-growing design firm Design Futurist. She received the highly coveted Parsons "Designer of the Year Award," a title she shares with Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler. She frequently lectures around the globe sharing her expert ideas on sustainable design.
PNCA Faculty and Alumni Selected to Attend Creative Capital Workshop
A collection of PNCA faculty members and alumni were selected to attend a Creative Capital Professional Development workshop this last weekend hosted by Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA). The participants included Hayley Barker, Wayne Bund MFA '10, Nan Curtis, Michael Lazarus, and Jane Schiffhauer MFA '10. These artists are fine examples of the PNCA community engaging in ongoing professional practice and growth.
PICA, in partnership with the Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) and the Oregon Arts Commission (OAC), hosted a three‐day intensive professional development workshop for 24 Oregon artists. The workshop was offered by Creative Capital, a national non‐profit organization that provides integrated financial and advisory support to artists. Through this intensive course, artists from all disciplines learned from Creative Capital consultants and prior artist grantees how to manage the business aspects of a creative career. Thanks to the generous support of RACC, OAC, and the Kresge Foundation, tuition was 85% subsidized.
In 2003, Creative Capital launched the Professional Development Program (PDP) to share with a broad community of artists some of the tools and strategies for improved self‐sufficiency that were initially developed for grantees. Since then, PDP has refined these methodologies and developed new ones, which it has shared with more than 3,700 artists in more than 50 communities around the country. PDP presents lessons on self‐management, strategic planning, fundraising, web strategies, verbal communication, and promotion.
Student exhibitions spread across the city
A wide breadth of PNCA students are exhibiting on campus, and throughout the city of Portland. The following is a selection of exhibitions that showcase the talent and dedication of the PNCA student body.
General Fine Arts major Rachel Ferber '12 presents What Does The Wind Feel Like in the BFA Gallery.

PNCA Hosts November Iteration of Portland STOCK
This Sunday marks the November iteration of Portland Stock, a recurring public dinner event and presentation series hosted by PNCA which democratically funds Portland-area artist projects. Diners pay $10 for a homemade meal and the chance to vote for which artist proposal will receive the evening's proceeds. The dinner's profits immediately become an artist grant, awarded according to the vote of the diners. Winning artists present their completed work at the next Stock dinner.
Typeface Documentary Screens at Museum
Making Faces, a film by Richard Kegler documenting the lost art of pantographic type making will be screened twice—at 7:00 and again at 9:00 pm, with a Q & A session with the filmmaker after each showing (doors open 30 minutes prior to each showing). The 45-minute film details the working process of the late Jim Rimmer as he designs and casts the font Stern, the only type font ever to have been released in both electronic and metal versions simultaneously. The font is a commemoration of the fine printer and type caster C. Christopher Stern, of Sedro-Woolley, Washington.
The showing is a fundraiser for the C.C. Stern Type Foundry, a non-profit working museum of type casting in Portland, Oregon.
Tickets are $8 at the door (cash or card only), first come first served. Doors at 6:30 pm and 8:30 pm, and admission includes one drink ticket. Snacks are complimentary.

Philip Iosca's "Hopefully I Become the Universe" receives acclaim
Making his debut solo exhibition, local artist/designer/poet Philip Iosca presents a touching collection of new works entitled HOPEFULLY I BECOME THE UNIVERSE in the Manuel Izquierdo Gallery. This work, in what critics such as Jeff Jahn at PORT have said is "powerful, restrained and ultimately heartbreaking," is inspired by seven extraordinary young men from across the United States who independently and tragically ended their lives between July 9 and September 29, 2010 as a result of bullying they received for being openly gay or perceived as being gay.
Jahn writes "[t]he resulting effort is probably the most emotionally moving visual art exhibition I've encountered since moving to Portland 11+ years ago. I've never seen anyone tear up at an art show, like I observed at the opening on First Thursday, but that is an indication of the strength of this show. It is truly beautiful, very well considered and deeply sad memento mori." Go here to read Jahn's review. HOPEFULLY I BECOME THE UNIVERSE is up until Thursday October 27.
Philip Iosca is a visual artist, award-winning designer and occasional poet. Most recently he published a book of poems entitled Ballad of the Sad Young Men with Publication Studio. Previous exhibitions include Watersports at 12128, curated by Sam Korman; Everything Matter All the Time at The Cleaners at Ace Hotel, curated by Azsa West; Catch All at PDX Across The Hall; Amsterdam Biennale, curated by Matthew Stadler and Publication Studio in Amsterdam and Portland; as well as an invisible monument for Car Hole Gallery last summer.
Richard Heinberg lectures on "The End of Growth"
As part of the MFA in Collaborative Design, Richard Heinberg, author and Senior Fellow of the Post Carbon Institute, speaks about the "new normal" in economic growth, on Friday October 21 in the Swigert Commons.
His book The End of Growth: Adapting to our New Economic Reality argues a heavy diagnosis: humanity has reached a fundamental turning point in our economic history. The expansionary trajectory of industrial civilization is colliding with non-negotiable natural limits.
Will the convergence of financial instability, the end of cheap oil, and climate change usher in an era of contraction? In other words, do we have to adapt to a "new normal"? Traditional economic growth is not the best measure of human health and welfare. How might we pursue improvements in education, the arts, health, well-being, freedom, and happiness without depending upon ever-expanding consumption? What does a transition to a new economy look like that doesn't depend on a model of growth based on cheap energy, reckless consumption and financial speculation?
Richard Heinberg is a Senior Fellow of the Post Carbon Institute and is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost Peak Oil educators. He is the author of ten books including: End of Growth (August 2011), The Post Carbon Reader (2010) (editor), Blackout: Coal, Climate, and the Last Energy Crisis (2009), Peak Everything: Waking Up to the Century of Declines (2007), The Oil Depletion Protocol: A Plan to Avert Oil Wars, and Powerdown: Options & Actions for a Post-Carbon World (2004).
This event is co-sponsored by Illahee.

Tom Prochaska Exhibition Marks Final Year of Teaching at PNCA
On October's First Thursday, the Froelick Gallery opens At Last, an exhibition of PNCA faculty member Tom Prochaska's black and white oil paintings. The exhibition marks not only Prochaska's 40 year career as an artist but also comes at the conclusion of his 23 years as a faculty member at the College. The Gallery's website calls the body of work "the result of a visual search in which the artist explores the basic interaction between medium and surface, applying strong foundational elements of value and form in what is firstly an exercise in masterful composition and expressive markmaking. Prochaska considers the works in At Last to be the pinnacle of his more than 40 career as an artist; the truest expression of the art he aspires to create."
PNCA faculty member Tom Prochaska joined the College's Printmaking Department in 1988 and is retiring this year—along with Printmaking Department Chair Christy Wyckoff who has taught at PNCA since 1978.
Faculty Member David Eckard's Midcareer Exhibition
David Eckard: Deployment is a midcareer survey that covers 20 years of the artist's career with over 40 artworks, including new paintings, sculpture and performances, and a selection of past sculptures, drawings and documentation. The exhibition, at Marylhurst's Art Gym through December 11, is accompanied by a catalog with an essay by fellow PNCA faculty and artist and writer Daniel Duford. Included in the catalog are illustrations of more than 60 of the artist's artworks, many of which no longer exist or existed only briefly in installations or as props for performance. David Eckard: Deployment is part of Portland's 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Bonnie Bronson Fellowships—which includes an retrospective exhibition on the PNCA Campus of Bonnie Bronson's work.
In 2010, David Eckard received the Bronson Fellowship. The artist has received a number of prestigious awards including the Artist Trust Fellowship (Seattle, Washington, 1998), the Bonnie Bronson Fellowship (Portland, Oregon, 2010) and the Ford Family Foundation's Hallie Ford Fellowship in the Visual Arts award (Roseburg, Oregon, 2010). David Eckard will also perform at numerous locations in the Portland metro area this fall, he performed his new work ©ardiff at the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art's TBA festival in September. This is followed by performances of ©ardiff or other works at Lewis & Clark College, Marylhurst University, Reed College and the Pacific Northwest College of Art.
The Art Gym is also collaborating with White Box at the University of Oregon in Portland on a satellite exhibition focusing on 2D work—paintings, drawings and video. David Eckard: The White Box Deployment continues through Saturday, November 12.

2011–2012 Graduate Visiting Artist Lecture Series
PNCA is pleased to announce the schedule for the 2011-2012 Graduate Visiting Artist Lecture Series, presented by ZGF Architects LLP and supported by PNCA+FIVE (Ford Institute for Visual Education). Unless otherwise noted, Visual Studies lectures are held in the Swigert Commons at the PNCA Main Campus Building, Applied Craft and Design lectures are held at The Bison Building in the Applied Craft and Design Studios, and lectures begin at 6:30 pm. For the most up-to-date information about each lecture, visit the PNCA Calendar.
Focused on experiential learning, knowledge sharing and cross-disciplinary exchange, PNCA's Graduate Visiting Artist program is a dynamic and essential part of each graduate program's curriculum. Throughout the year, artists, scholars, designers, curators and critics from around the globe are invited to engage with students and the community in a variety of formats, including lectures, conversations, panel discussions, group critiques, workshops and studio visits. These visiting artists contribute to, challenge and expand the academic and artistic discourse at PNCA, extending the possibilities for innovative instruction and learning.
PNCA Talent Shines at TBA:11
It's that time of year again—new students are flooding Swigert Commons, classes have just begun and the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA)'s ninth annual Time-Based Art Festival (TBA) is only one week away. Each year, the TBA Festival jump starts the school year with a challenging and inspiring lineup of contemporary performance, dance, film, monologue, new media and visual arts. It draws artists from across the country and around the globe for a convergence of contemporary art in Portland. The Festival is presented September 8–18 at venues around town, with visual arts exhibits running through October at Washington High School.
Pacific Northwest College of Art partners with PICA and TBA to offer a series of noontime chats, classroom visits and workshops with some of the leading thinkers and makers in contemporary art. These conversations transform the campus into a laboratory, and invite students, professors and community members to actively engage in contemporary art criticism. In addition, PNCA students receive special passes to TBA events, allowing them to attend events and report back on them in their coursework.
This year, the talents of several PNCA faculty and alumni contributed to the production of and mounting of TBA:11. Practicing the art of curation behind the scenes, PNCA alumni Val Hardy '11 worked as the Curatorial Assistant and Gallery Manager, and Kent Richardson '06 acted as the Principal Preparator and Exhibition Designer. PNCA community members showcased on stage or in the galleries include:
Anna Gray '08 and Ryan Wilson Paulsen '08, Don't Worry We'll Fix It
Gray and Wilson establish a production office to examine the ways that the institution of history is continuously built up and broken down. The artists will produce the publication September and work on-site to correct, revise and compile errata from previous editions of the paper.
Opening reception: September 8, 2011, 8–10 pm

In Memory of Joan Shipley
The PNCA community is deeply saddened by the passing of Joan Shipley. Her consistent dedication to the local arts community and her unfaltering support of PNCA and Museum of Contemporary Craft made her one of the most valued art patrons in Portland.
Tom Manley, PNCA's president, in writing to the College community about the news, remarked:
"In losing Joan, we have lost a great community treasure and champion of the arts. Joan exemplified the very best qualities of civic involvement and leadership. Hers was a thoroughly humanist vision and no one worked harder, more gently, more quietly or with greater ultimate effect than she. Speaking on behalf of the College—just one institution of the dozens Joan Shipley helped to make better—and my family, I send our deepest condolences to her husband John and their family at this terribly sad time."
Joan was no stranger to the PNCA community. She was a board member of Museum of Contemporary Craft (when it was called the Contemporary Crafts Association) from 1975 to 1979. She served as a voluntary interim gallery director during this time, when the Museum was without an appointed director.
President Manley mentioned as well the leadership and generous support of other members of the Shipley family to PNCA, in particular John Shipley who as a past board member helped to guide the school's transition to the Peal District campus and helped to found the Philip Feldman Gallery and Project Space and Thomas Shipley, John and Joan's son, who currently serves on the PNCA Board of Governors.
There are hardly any organizations in town with which Joan Shipley did not have direct involvement. In addition to PNCA and Museum of Contemporary Craft, Chamber Music Northwest, Literary Arts, Oregon College of Art and Craft, Portland Institute of Contemporary Art, where Joan was a founding member, and the Sitka Center, to name a few, can attest to the depth of positive contributions the Shipleys have made to the Oregon arts community. In recognition of her efforts, Joan was a recipient of the 2004–2005 Governor's Arts Award as well as the Portland Art Dealers Association (PADA) Award for Service to the Visual Arts in August 2011.
Shipley's love of art and her belief that creativity is the gateway to good citizenship are the cornerstones of the legacy she leaves behind. Joan Shipley will be remembered for working endlessly, gently and often anonymously to elevate the prominence of art, culture and civility.
The College will announce plans for a remembrance in honor of Joan once details become known. In addition, PNCA will publish a memorial article about her contributions to the arts community on Untitled in the coming weeks.
First Thursday, September 1
A myriad of exhibitions open Thursday, September 1, including It's All a Blur, Disorientalism: Ready Mix, Bonnie Bronson: Works 1960–1990 and many student shows. Visit the PNCA Calendar for more information.

Vision-Sciences Reports Net Sales Of $4.0 Million For Third Quarter Of Fiscal 2013
ORANGEBURG, N.Y., Jan. 28, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vision-Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:VSCI), a leading provider of unique flexible endoscopic products utilizing its proprietary sterile disposable EndoSheath® technology, today announced financial results for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012, its third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2013.
Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2013 Highlights
- Net sales were $4.0 million, compared with $3.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and $4.3 million in third quarter of fiscal 2012;
- Operating loss decreased 25% to $1.5 million versus $2.0 million in the same quarter last year; and
- Net loss improved by 33% to $1.6 million, or ($0.03) per basic and diluted share, compared to $2.3 million, or ($0.05) per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
"We continue to execute our strategy to access acute care hospitals and drive awareness of our EndoSheath technology with our new multi-disciplinary, medical sales force. This approach provides us with the opportunity to capture both capital and disposable revenue streams," commented Cynthia Ansari, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vision-Sciences, Inc."During the quarter, there were noteworthy developments on both the SpineView and Stryker fronts. In particular, the FDA cleared for marketing the FlexLite Camera System, which incorporates our 2.0mm flexible endoscope with SpineView's proprietary space creator. Stryker also added our new ureteroscope to their urology product line, which they began selling through their dedicated sales specialists. We look forward to the impact of their efforts," Ansari concluded. Results of Operations Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were $4.0 million compared to $4.3 million for the same period a year ago. The 8% decrease was primarily due to lower urology sales, including a 13% decline in sales to Stryker, partially offset by strong industrial sales growth.

I am currently the CEO of Tactical Response Inc (training company) as well as CEO of Tactical Response Gear Inc (tactical supply company). In June 2005 I started my second business which is a tactical supply shop for military, police, and armed citizens. I have a brick and mortar store front in Camden Tennessee and an E-Commerce site.
From July 2004 until May 2005 I was on two Protective Security Details in Baghdad Iraq. Our Team was a Tier Two (Alpha) entity that was responsible for the protection of the 8 Iraqi Election Commissioners during the violent pre-election, election, and post election.
My Team was also in charge of the physical security of their offices at the Interim Iraqi Government Building and we worked closely with the Gurkhan guard force there. My duties included acting as a media liaison, coordinating the security force for the building, coordinating with the security force for the compound (Global Risk and US Army), and coordinating with the two U.S. Army Force Protection groups for the area (82nd ABN). I also assisted with the planning, advances, coordination, and execution of the many meetings, plane rides, helicopter shuttles, conferences, and trips that the 8 commissions took to set up and complete the electoral process.
May 1996 through September 1998 I worked as a Patrolman and K-9 handler for the Big Sandy Police Department. In the fall of 1998 my Chief was elected Sheriff of Benton County. October of 1998 I was asked by Big Sandy Mayor to be the Chief of Police. I held that position until May of 2000 when I was hired as a Deputy at the Benton County Sheriff's Office. My duties at BCSO included patrol, Tactical Team (SWAT) leader, and trainer for our Multi-Agency Crisis Response Team. September of 2002 I went into private training full-time and was also Vice President of a multi-million dollar tactical gear company until July of 2004. I was the Firearms and Tactics Instructor with the Camden Police Department as well as the Sergeant over the Reserve Unit from 2002 until 2009 when the program ended.
January 1992 through May 1996 I worked with various Drug Task Force units as well as many local Departments' Narcotics squads buying and selling illegal narcotics in an undercover capacity. My title was "Agent". These agencies included but were not limited to the 24th Drug Task Force, 23rd D.T.F., 27th D.T.F., Paris Police Department, and Henry County Sheriff's Department. I was a Henry County Reserve Deputy for some of this time. I made over 300 Narcotics buys and sales during this period.
I have been a firearms trainer since 1994 and have taught literally thousands of students with several individuals, tactical teams, and Special Forces teams being successful in lethal force confrontations both domestically and abroad. I have taught multiple classes all over the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Central America and South America. I have extensive experience teaching in austere environments and I am a certified expert witness for firearms, tactical training and use of force.
I am also a professional writer and have been published in magazines such as S.W.A.T. (Staff Writer), Southern Lawman, Concealed Carry Magazine, FMG American Handgunner Special Editions and STUFF. I wrote foreword for the book "Surgical Speed Shooting" as well as being on the cover of that book. I have written a book on High Risk Civilian Contracting. I have also produced a series of instructional DVDs.
I was featured on the cover of the September 2005 SWAT magazine and the December 2005 and June 2009 issues of SWAT had a full length review of my training. My companies have also been featured in the "Barrett Annual", "Shotgun News", "The book of the AR-15", and several other periodicals. Kiplinger's financial magazine also did an article on me in the June 2007 issue. I was featured on season one of "SWAT Magazine TV" in January 2010. In 2011 I was on the Discovery Channel show "One Man Army", was featured on the National Geographic documentary "Snipers Inc", Student of the Gun", and I have appeared on "Friends of the NRA TV". I was on the cover of the 2012 "Combat" magazine by American Handgunner.

PHOENIX -- Arizona will get its last legal shot this spring to finally enforce all of its 2-year-old immigration law.
On Friday the U.S. Supreme Court set April 25 to hear arguments by attorneys for the state that everything in SB 1070 is both legal and within the state's power to enact. That contention already has been rebuffed twice, once by U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton who blocked the state from implementing key provisions of the 2010 law and then by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
It likely will be months before the justices actually rule. But whatever they decide will have nationwide implications, as several states already have copied and enacted similar laws.
Hanging in the balance are several sections of the statute, including:
- Requiring a police officer to make a reasonable attempt to check the immigration status of those they have stopped;
- Forbidding police from releasing anyone they have arrested until that person's immigration status is determined;
- Making it a violation of Arizona law for anyone not a citizen to fail to carry federally issued documentation;
- Allowing police to make warrantless arrests if there is a belief the person has committed an offense that allows them to be removed from the United States;
- Creating a new state crime of trying to secure work while not a legal resident.
In blocking those provisions, the lower court judges agreed with arguments by the Obama administration, which sued to overturn the law, that the state was illegally intruding into areas reserved for the federal government. Paul Clement, a former U.S. solicitor general hired by Gov. Jan Brewer to argue the case, now has the job of convincing at least five justices that is not true.
He contends that all the state is doing is working in cooperation with federal officials to enforce federal law. And Clement said the earlier rulings are based on what he said is an erroneous presumption that states can get involved in immigration enforcement efforts only when the federal government gives specific permission.
"States, unlike federal agencies, are not creatures of the federal Congress and do not depend on federal statutes for authorization,'' he wrote.
Gubernatorial press aide Matthew Benson said his boss is optimistic that the majority of the court will see things that way.
"This is an opportunity for the state to finally get before the highest court in the land and make its argument for why the state of Arizona has a right and an obligation to enforce immigration law, together with the federal government, and defend our citizens,'' he said.
That citizen defense argument is also part of what Clement is hoping sways the high court.
In prior filings, he told the justices Arizona is being harmed by the fact there are about 400,000 illegal immigrants in Arizona, with 230,000 of them holding jobs in the state, amounting to 7.4 percent of the total workforce. And more than 17 percent of those locked up in state prisons, at state expense, are in this country illegally.
"Arizona spends several hundred million dollars each year incarcerating criminal aliens and providing education and health care to aliens who entered and reside in this country in violation of federal law,'' he wrote. He said it was against that backdrop that lawmakers approved and Brewer signed SB 1070.
"The injunction against SB 1070 leaves Arizona and its people to suffer from a serious problem without any realistic legal tools for addressing it," Clement wrote.
Only eight of the justices will be hearing the arguments.
Elena Kagan has recused herself because of her former role as solicitor general in the Obama administration. That means a 4-4 tie would leave intact both Bolton's ruling and the 9th Circuit decision upholding it.
Bolton's ruling did not affect several other sections of SB 1070 which did take effect. But other challenges remain.
For example, one provision makes it a crime to stop a motor vehicle to pick up day laborers, and for day laborers to get into a vehicle if it impedes the normal flow of traffic. When Bolton issued her ruling in 2010, the 9th Circuit had upheld a similar law from California.
Since that time, however, the appellate court reversed its stance and declared that ordinance illegal. That has led to efforts by others who are challenging the law to get Bolton to take a second look.

Social Security:
Providing Useful Information to the Public

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed information the public should have about the Social Security program and the role that the individualized Social Security Statement plays in providing that information, focusing on: (1) basic information about program benefits; (2) the current and projected financial status of the Social Security program; and (3) proposed changes to the program.
GAO noted that: (1) the individualized Social Security Statement plays a specific and important role in providing some, but not all, of the information the public needs; (2) individuals should have clear and easy to understand information about what benefits they can reasonably expect to receive; (3) this is the specific and primary purpose of the Social Security Statement, which is now sent annually to nearly all working participants; (4) in addition, the statement helps individuals and the Social Security Administration (SSA) ensure that individual earnings records are accurate, which in turn is crucial to providing accurate benefit payments; (5) SSA has recently revised this statement so that it more effectively conveys this important information; (6) the public should understand the current and projected financial status of the Social Security program; (7) the Social Security Statement now contains a brief disclosure about this, but technical and detailed information about it is more appropriately conveyed through other vehicles, such as the annual Trustees' Report and the federal government's consolidated financial statements; (8) the public should have information to help it evaluate different proposals to restore solvency and make other program changes; (9) however, such information is complex and must be presented in a fair, consistent, and comprehensive way that helps the public weigh and balance the various difficult choices that must be made; (10) this type of information goes beyond estimating benefits and verifying earnings, which is the Social Security Statement's central purpose; (11) given the difficulties SSA has had in making just this information clear in the statement, adding information on reform proposals would likely make the statement lengthy, more complex, and even more difficult to understand; and (12) doing so could undermine the basic purpose of the statement.

Even after 30 years as the leader of legendary area polka act Brave Combo, Carl Finch sounds like he's just getting started.
"Every year, there seems to be some kind of new carrot dangling in front of this band," Finch says from his home in Denton. "Some sort of new project, some new goal worth pursuing."
One of his more recent goals has been organizing Brave Combo's 30th anniversary show—scheduled to take place this weekend at Sons of Hermann Hall. Finch promises a set list that spans his band's daunting discography and a variety of special guest performers. But even with an ever-expanding to-do list, Finch has still found a little time to recollect what a long, strange trip it's been for his outfit.
"It blows my mind that one day turned into a month and that turned into a year and then it's a decade and now it's been three," Finch says. "Sometimes I think Brave Combo is no longer a band—that we've become an institution. Not a legend, but like a building or a radio station."
Finch began the band in 1979 as a way to express a newfound interest in a musical form that many thought had long been relegated to the dustbin of history. But Finch's idea was more than simply forming a band to play polka music. He wanted to fuse polka with a little rock 'n' roll.
"I wanted to take a music genre that people thought was square and antiquated and make it modern," he says. "We chose a style of music that was maligned and had been misunderstood and had been used as a butt of a joke, and we made a career out of it."
And quite a career it has proven to be: Over the course of a whopping 27 full-length albums, Brave Combo has miraculously entered the fabric of popular culture. The band has, among other things, won three Grammy Awards, scored the PBS series Click and Clack's As the Wrench Turns, appeared on an episode of The Simpsons, made a cameo appearance in David Byrne's movie True Stories, appeared with Jerry Lewis on his Labor Day Telethon and performed with Tiny Tim on his final recording.
Not bad for what some would consider a novelty act. Oh, and for the record: Finch doesn't really have a problem with folks who want to label his band as such.
"We knew early on that the sense of humor of this band might be potentially overwhelming," he says. "But when you use polka for a cornerstone, you can come off as a novelty act."
Yet Brave Combo has proven to be apt at many styles of music, merging genres seemingly at will, while transforming rock standards such as "Purple Haze" and "Satisfaction" into multicultural celebrations that have appealed to a wide array of listeners.
Ironically, though, the only venues that would book Brave Combo at first were the punk clubs. Fortunately, the band found many a kindred spirit amongst the disaffected youth of North Texas. Word spread quickly, and the band soon found its polka experiment catching on with college kids, radio programmers and critics looking for something different.
Yet even as the band found its audience growing with each successive release, Finch knew he would always have to defend Brave Combo against those who thought it was just shtick, just a joke band thrown together by nerdy college kids with too much time on their hands.
"Walking that line between novelty act and serious band has been a challenge," Finch admits. "Especially because, early on, we were trying to figure out who we were ourselves and then trying to translate what the band is about to an audience."
Finch and crew must have translated pretty damn well, though, as Brave Combo quickly became—and continues to be—a full-time gig, which is still somewhat of a shock to Finch.
"The part that still blows me away is that Brave Combo grew into a viable business and has maintained a stability that seems to be weathering even the current financial crisis," he says before pausing to find some wood to knock on. "It keeps growing every year—more festivals, more studio dates."
Brave Combo's most recent studio date resulted in 2008's The Exotic Rocking Life, an album that Finch puts on par with his band's 1995 Grammy-winning Polkas for a Gloomy World.
"The newest one is more of an exploration of Middle Eastern and Latin influences," Finch says.
But Finch promises that Brave Combo will never stray far from its polka base. The band's style has become too ingrained to be tinkered with too much.
Yet being in a band that may or may not be a novelty act—but still a band that plays novelty music—has taken its toll on many a bandmate. Since the band has a niche appeal, Brave Combo must basically tour nonstop, playing nearly every Czech and German cultural festival than comes a-calling. Being in demand is a nice problem to have, Finch admits, but as a result, he's seen many players come and go from his project. Which is why it makes sense that Finch is the lone remaining original member of Brave Combo.

When to Use Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion
Whether you can use Form I-290B to seek further review of an adverse decision depends on:
The chart below lists benefit types (by form number), and whether you may file a motion or appeal.
1. If a request to extend a stay or to change status is denied but the underlying petition for non-immigrant classification is approved, you may file a motion but not an appeal.
2. Only T and U nonimmigrants can file Form I-192 through USCIS. All others must file this form through DHS Customs and Border Protection.
3. The decision is not reviewable if the basis for the denial is that the number of waivers granted to the State in which the foreign medical graduate will be employed would exceed 30 for that fiscal year or is based on an unfavorable recommendation by the Department of State. If the denial is made for any other reason, you may either appeal or file for a motion regarding the decision.
4. There are a few exceptions permitting a motion to reopen (MTR) based on court decisions and settlements, e.g., NWIRP and Proyecto San Pablo. Under these exceptions, you may file a MTR (Form I-290B).
5. Conditional residents placed in removal proceedings when their Form I-751 or Form I-829 is denied may seek to have an immigration judge review the denial. This review would occur during the removal proceedings.
6. You can request a hearing if your Form N-400 is denied after your eligibility interview, and if you believe you can overcome the grounds for denial.
To do so, submit Form N-336, Request for Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings Under Section 336 of the INA, with fee within 30 days after receiving the denial notice. (You have 33 days if USCIS mailed the notice.)
Once you submit the N-336, you can have a hearing scheduled before an immigration officer to present additional documentation and testimony in support of your eligibility.
Also, applicants whose N-400 is denied because they failed the English or civics test and who file Form N-336 in a timely manner can retake any portion of the failed test.
If an N-336 is NOT filed in a timely manner:
If your N-400 case was administratively closed because you failed to appear for an initial interview, you may submit a written request, without fee, to reopen the case. No I-290B or N-336 is required.
7. If USCIS's National Benefits Center (NBC) denies the N-400 application the NBC will provide information through the Denial Notice on how to file a motion. No fee or Form I-290B is required.
Applicants whose N-400 application is denied by a USCIS field office may submit a Form I-290B to file a motion on the denial, with fee and in accordance with the Form I-290B instructions.
The I-290B process allows for reopening or reconsideration of N-400 decisions. The decision whether or not to reopen or reconsider an N-400 case is based on information in the applicant's record.

Short Girls - Bich Minh Nguyen
This was another book I picked up at Borders' Last Days sales, and I really enjoyed it. I liked the way the third-person narrative alternated between the sisters, and I liked both of their characters very much, even when they did things I didn't necessary like. I'd like to read more about them. Highly recommended.

Burns both sugar and fat and slows the release
of sugar into the bloodstream. 60 vegi-caps / bottle. Recommended Dosage: 2 caps / day.
Do you know what it means by green coffee? Well actually there is no such term as a cup of "green" coffee because coffee is black in colour! However maybe you are referring to coffee beans which are green that is untouched after being harvested! No I do not mean coffee beans which are green in colour or some kind of farming method related or not related to organic farming which is green i.e. Green Mountain Coffee Plant Windsor Va environmentally friendly. This is not what I am talking about. When people talk about green and great coffee beans they are talking about fresh and coffee original beans that have not been processed roasted or touched! The internet site itself is full of testimonials from genuine individuals who have tried the program and achieved amazing results. If you're not one who wants to exercise yet still wants to lose weight this program won't be for you.
There are two ways to increase the efficacy of working on a treadmill one is by increasing the rate of speed of which the Green Mountain Coffee Plant Windsor Va exercise is done at; this can be increased all the way to a jog and then run. Jogging and running are very potent exercises when it comes to Green Mountain Coffee Plant Windsor Va calorie burning but both of them put a great deal stress on the knees and lower back . Older people or people with injuries need to avoid but Green Mountain Coffee Plant Windsor Va jogging and running because of the damage that is done to the knees and back. Secondly treadmill work can be increased in intensity by increasing the degree of grade that is walked at this becomes the equivalent of walking hills or mountains outside. Walking at a grade burns a lot of calories but can be very painful to those with back and knee issues.
This prevents your body shutting down and holding onto stores of fat. A British study showed that eating nuts eggs lean meat legumes and other green leafy vegetables help the body burn more fat especially those found around green coffee bean dust the body's midsection. I am not bold enough to mention is green coffee extract good for you in that context.
It just so happens I need this for green coffee buy. In general I'm as snug as a bug in a rug. I must go back on looking undecided.
No sugar in the bloodstream means no build up of fat in the body because sugar turns to fat in the body when it is not burned. Drink and eat low-fat skim or non-fat dairy — milk yogurt and cheese. Soy substitutes are fine.
Apart from fat burning it also works on normal metabolic rate blood sugar level to rejuvenate your body. Thus if a fat burning supplement can offer so many health benefits it is natural that anybody who is planning to lose weight will try it surely. It is a clinically proven formula for fat burning. Week 6Week 6Only a little bit of water left in the lower back… pretty tight otherwise! So the bottom line of this discussion on the best way to lose fat is regular exercises balanced diet and sufficient rest.
Protein powder is not all protein — many brands contain carbohydrates as well. Other protein powders may contain more carbs than protein — read the label before you buy. It's all in what the product was designed for. Protein powders designed for endurance athletes have high amounts of carbs while the ones designed for bodybuilders may have a much lower carb content. Since a number of these formation flaws tend to occur together in the same beans we're going to group those flaws that have a similar cause and effect.
Come what may that is a simplistic approach to the enigma –
- Oz!! The power for the one-arm kettlebell swing is not generated by the arm but rather the glutes hamstrings and quadriceps
- This is the moment to redecorate your green coffee bean supplements because best green coffee has grown simply because of the green coffee bean benefits role in the industry
- This helps reduce the added calories that mindless snacking can produce
- What if you could finally do that? If you would like to learn germane to buy green coffee stick around
- So it is not your fault if you have been working hard but not getting the results you want
- When you find others online you can exchange ideas and talk more about the benefits of the product
. It's a well rooted idea. This is cool. We must proceed with extreme caution. I feel like I'm existing in a virtual reality game. Look I am not saying that I kind of dishonor this conviction.
The Fat Loss For Idiots diet may be an effective method for quick weight loss in the short-term and to prepare you for lifelong healthy habits. There can be a real appeal to it. My partner had a natural saying touching on how to take green how much are green coffee beans coffee beans for weight loss when I was young. This idea dealing with green coffee weight loss results is dead as a doornail. I find does green coffee extract really green coffee support work to be a powerful motivator.
Carbohydrates especially sugar and starch can cause a dramatic increase in glucose and insulin production starting a cycle of high and low blood sugar levels that triggers cravings and overeating. Limiting sugar and starches can stabilize blood Green Mountain Coffee Plant Windsor Va sugar and help you consume fewer calories. Weight loss requires you to consume fewer calories than you burn so that your body uses stored fat for energy.

As a mother of two toddlers, my house is always bustling with teeny weeny ailments like sore throats, toothaches, tummy burns and "boo-boos". I found a quick solution on my iPhone through this interesting App called CureIt App. The layout of the App is great and easy to use. Easy navigation, amount of information is really awesome, and more over it's simple, devoid of any medical or technical jargons.
Recent studies have
shown that there has been an increasing rates of diseases like type-2
diabetes, heart diseases, obesity, and arthritis in youngsters even as
early as teens and early 20's. Some simple home remedies when combined
with an active and healthy lifestyle (like taking a teaspoon of soaked
fenugreek seeds everyday can help regulate the blood sugars, and taking a
handful of soaked almonds everyday helps taking care of the calcium for
the day) can go a long way to help prevent the early onset of these
types of disease and thus prevents from starting on medications at an
early age.
Natural remedies
are the most practical and affordable ways to deal with the most common
ailments. The reason I trust natural remedies is that it has no side
effects as compared to taking over-the-counter medicines or
supplements. When it comes to my kids, I would always go for a simple
home remedy like applying turmeric paste on a swollen area or like
giving a mixture of honey and ginger for cough and sore throat than any
other prescription medications, which does not provide much relief for
the kids than the simple measures we take at home.
is surprising to know that our simple kitchen is stored with 2000 plus
home remedies. I loved reading some of the interesting facts and cures
from simple ingredients in the pantry like garlic can cure headaches,
prunes can relieve constipation, orange peels can help in relieving
acnes and more and more of such useful information that is packed in
this App, for Instant Home Relief.
App is a great resource for people on the lookout for tips for a
healthy lifestyle, and trying to avoid chronic or hereditary diseases by
healthy living and dietary modifications. There are some trusted and
proven natural remedies listed in this App for controlling cholesterol,
blood sugars, and for a healthy heart.
To sum up,
this App is a great choice for people who are on the lookout for home
remedies for their family. CureIt App is now available in App store http://cureitapp.com
